Mary Williams
On the 1864 manifest of the ship General McClellan she is listed as Mary Griffiths because she was the daughter of Herbert Griffiths and Anne Rees. Herbert died in Wales and Anne married Thomas Williams between the time she and her daughters embarked from England and their joining the William S. Warren Company; mother and girls all appear on the roster of this company under the surname Williams.

Re: Irwin 28 head help
Not giving you a hard time, but the year of your boat is not in the title or in your first post. Yes, I know it is a Irwin 28, but depending on when it was built, it might be a II. That's what I meant by model.
Anyway, I'm not familiar with your boat but I looked it up to see the layout. Yes, there probably is room underneath your V-berth for a tank. But, most boats I see have tanks underneath settees and that would be an obvious place as well. Not sure how big your cabinet is, but one might fit there as well. Are there any holes anywhere that hoses may have been run thru? is there a pump out fitting on the deck even if there is no hose connected to it?
Regardless of where a tank may have been installed at the factory, where is the most convenient, easiest place for you to put one? They may not be the same place.

We finally made it! Almost 16 months after Garmin kicked off this fun IPR roller coaster we have been riding, the PTAB has issued its first Final Written Decision, finding that all three claims-at-issue in the IPR trial styled as Garmin Int'l, et al., v. Cuozzo Speed Tech. LLC, IPR2012-00001 (Paper 59), involving U.S. Patent No. 6,778,074, are unpatentable and that Patent Owner's motion to amend is denied.
By way of brief procedural history, Petitioner initially sought an IPR trial on 20 claims of the '074 patent. In its decision to institute the trial, however, the Board found that there was a reasonable likelihood of unpatentability with respect to 3 of the 20 challenged claims. Of course, as the trial progressed, this case gave us the now ubiquitous Garmin factors for proving the required "good cause" to obtain additional discovery.
Turning to the actual decision, we note that the details of the technology involved, and other aspects of the '074 patent, were set forth in the Decision to Initiate. As such, we focus here on what struck us as the most interesting aspects of the Board's Final Written Decision:
In the end, the Board's first Final Written Decision contains few surprises. As has been the case in their decisions to institute, and other ancillary decisions, the Board undertook a thorough job of examining the merits, took unambiguous positions on those merits, and rendered a decision that is comprehensive and detailed. Next stop on this IPR ride: the Federal Circuit.

Even if he did, that wouldn't make him shoot people. However, if he did, that gives violent video games even more of a bad name. I think people just assume he played violent video games. Did he?
@SoothsayerGB: Adam Lanza was the Sandy Hook shooter.

The people who blame things like video games for tragedies don't really believe what they are saying (most of the time). They are simply looking for something, anything, to make said tragedy make the slightest bit of sense. Someone killing people for no reason is a terrifying thought, but if you can apply some sort of logic to it, you can make it a known factor. For a lot of people, violent video games are the easiest answer.
These people don't really understand video games, and it doesn't help the news and government has spent so much time talking about the "horrors" of violent video games. Unfortunately, a lot of people are being led to believe violent video games are as bad as taking drugs (just look at the amount of times we get people believing violent video games should be censored in the same way as porn).
I wouldn't worry too much about it though: if video games were going to get taken down by something like this, it would have happened a long time ago. The same thing happened with movies, and the same thing will happen with whatever comes after video games. The world will always be filled with ignorant people.

It seems you've decided already. I don't want to talk about this anymore either. There's about 700 things to say in response to Sandy Hook. None of them are about Lanza or games.
Obviously he was fucked up in the head. Is there really any more explanation needed than that?
I remember seeing somewhere that he "liked" the Mass Effect 3 Facebook page. I don't know if that is accurate information or not (who the fuck knows with the media these days...), but that was a story at some point, and I'm pretty sure that's what started the whole anti-movies/video games thing up again.
@Stonyman65: I saw that too, but yeah, it was the wrong guy. CNN posted a link to Ryan Lanza on facebook and wrote that he was the shooter.

Ah okay. I forgot about all of that with the brother. Just more proof that the media in the country is a bunch of uninformed fucking vultures.

Vintage Victorian Mother's Day Card
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This charming design has Victorian appeal - sweet, old-fashioned, classy. Make it for a cherished friend, your mother, grandmother, or anyone who loves old-world charm. This handmade card is the perfect way to send cheer and affection today.
- Cream card (Halcraft Value Pack)
- Pink and brown cardstock
- Cream paisley paper (Sizzix Little Sizzles Classics)
- Striped pink paper (Bisous #P-072 Caramel Rose Stripe)
- Gold and black striped paper (Die Cuts With a View)
- Boot stamp (Stampin Up)
- Pink or burgundy stamp pad (source unknown)
- Kreinik Iron-on #16 Braid 6260
- Kreinik Iron-on #8 Braid 6120
- Teflon Press Cloth (Kreinik)
- Household iron or mini iron
- Ironing surface
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Turn your iron on to the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
First cut out the pieces you will need to make this card. Cut one piece of brown cardstock that is 4.75" X 5.25". Cut a strip of striped paper 4.75" X 1". Cut a piece of paisley paper that is 2.25" X 3.75". Cut a 1.5" square of the black striped paper.
Using your boot stamp, stamp a light pattern on the brown cardstock.
Attach your brown cardstock to the front of the card. Mount your paisley paper over the center of the cardstock. Next, mount your striped paper so the ends are even with the edges of the card stock, and the top of the strip is a half inch down from the top of the paisley paper. Then center the black square over the striped paper.
Begin to embellish with your iron-on threads (lay the thread at a starting point, cover with a Teflon Press Cloth, and press with your hot iron for several seconds until the thread adheres). Use the #16 braid to make a border around the brown cardstock, then work inward to add borders to the paisley, striped, and black papers. Next, use the #8 braid to create a swirl design across the card, centered over the striped and black papers.
- Stamp your boot shape onto the pink cardstock, and begin embellishing the design with iron-on threads. Outline first with the #16 braid, then fill in the heel and toe. Fill in the back and front with your #8 braid, zigzagging back and forth for a laced look. When finished, cut out the shape leaving a very small border around the outside edges. Adhere your boot shape to the center of your black square.

Reverend defends Jesus clothing campaign
A minister in Kansas says he is trying to bring attention to the role of Jesus Christ in Christmas by having church members dress like the religious figure.
The Rev. Kelly Lohrke said his holiday campaign has been embraced by hundreds of church members in Kansas City, Kan., and Lee's Summit, Mo., The Kansas City (Mo.) Star said Wednesday.
But despite the appearance of the religious figure's trademark robes and crown of thorns in area stores and restaurants, Lohrke maintains he is not
pushing religion on the general public.
Instead, the reverend said the coordinated church effort is intended to refocus the annual holiday on its true origins.
I don't think it's pushing religion. It's just recognizing where the origin of this holiday comes from, Lohrke said.
Our purpose was just to get people to talk about Jesus this time of year.
The reverend also promises a more widespread holiday effort in 2009.
Next year, Lohrke told the Star,
we're going to make this a big deal.

The 2014 Woony Ride was a success!
We had over 300 participants that helped us raise over $22,000!
It was a beautiful day and our riders had the option of 5, 10, 30, 50, or 62.5 mile rides. They were able to explore the Woonasquatucket River from Providence to bucolic North Smithfield and come full circle after connecting through our sister path, the Blackstone Valley Bike Path.
This year's party was a great time with food from Julian's restaurant and music from the Woony Ride All stars. Thanks to all of our generous donors who donated fundraising prizes, food, and drinks!

In common with the Ceefax and ORACLE teletext services provided by the BBC and ITV television companies, the system used a modified television to display information in a non-scrolling window of 40x24 text characters, with some simple graphics, conforming to the 1981 CEPT1 standard. Unlike the limited data available on Ceefax and Oracle, Prestel offered an extensive range of information that had been supplied both by a Prestel department at the Post Office and by third-party Information Providers. The range of IPs was wide, including the government and Parliament. This data was entered on a central Update Computer, "Duke", located in London, and then mirrored onto a number of satellites (mirrored computers known as IRCs) "Dryden", "Kipling", "Derwent", "Enterprise", "Dickens", "Keats", "Bronte", "Eliot" and "Austen" (among others) that were located throughout the country. Access was open to all users except for a number of CUGs (Closed User Groups) membership of which was provided to a controlled userbase, usually by a paid subscription. Mail was handled by a machine known as "Pandora". They were all GEC 4000 series machines.
Whilst the teletext services were provided free of charge, and were encoded as part of the regular television transmissions, Prestel data was transmitted via telephone lines to a set-top box terminal, and while this enabled interactive services and a crude form of e-mail to be provided, it also involved purchasing a suitable terminal, and paying both a monthly subscription and the cost of local telephone calls. On top of this, some services (notably parts of Micronet800) sold content on a paid-for basis. Each Prestel screen carried a price in pence in the top right-hand corner. Single screens could cost up to 99p.
The original idea was to persuade consumers to buy a modified television set with an inbuilt modem and a keypad remote control in order to access the service, but no more than a handful of models were ever marketed and they were prohibitively expensive. Set-top boxes were pioneered by the Nottingham Building Society for its customers, who could make financial transactions via Prestel. The access situation improved as home computers became more commonplace, and by the late 1980s it was possible to use a machine such as a BBC Micro or Atari computer, equipped with a 1200/75 baud modem and some simple software, to access the Prestel service. Even the more games-orientated Sinclair ZX Spectrum has a large number of users via a low-cost modem called the VTX-5000. It was possible to buy downloadable content such as simple games. This would be encoded in a series of pages that with body text that was not human-readable but encoded the content in blocks of rather less than 1 kilobyte at a time. The header and footer of these pages was normal, however, so users could watch the pages appearing one after another to build up the downloaded file. To charge for content, the final pages of the downloaded file were charged at 99p each until the total charged was within 99p of the total price, after which one page would be charged at the balance of the total price and subsequent pages were free.
Because the communication over telephone lines did not use any kind of error correction protocol it was prone to interference from line noise which would result in garbled text. This was particularly problematic with early home modems which used acoustic couplers because most home phones were hard-wired to the wall at that time.
However, it was still an expensive proposition, and as a result, Prestel only ever gained a limited market penetration among private consumers achieving a total of just 90,000 subscribers, with the largest user groups being Micronet800 with 20,000 users and Prestel Travel with 6,500 subscribers.
GEC Computers produced a number of national variants of Prestel which were sold to the PTTs of other countries, such as Italy, Austria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Germany, Singapore, [incomplete list]. Italy was the largest system with 180,000 subscribers. The Singapore system had a notable technology difference in that pages were not returned over the modem connection, but were returned using teletext methods over one of four TV channels reserved specially for the purpose, which had all scan lines encoded in teletext format. This higher bandwidth enabled use of a feature called Picture Prestel which was used to carry significantly higher resolution pictures than were available on other Prestel systems.
In 1990, BT introduced a new commercial model which effectively killed the domestic usage of the service. Finally in 1991 it was decided that BT should move away from providing Value Added Services and should focus on network provision. Consequently the various consumer and business services were run down or sold off with such services as Prestel Travel and BTIS (BT Insurance Service) becoming private networks services for third party providers.
The 1984 hacker intrusion into the (very likely unused) Prestel mailbox of the Duke of Edinburgh garnered the network some unfavourable press, particularly when the simplicity of its security measures became apparent. The subsequent failure to successfully prosecute the intruders contributed to the introduction of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
The Prestel name and equipment was eventually sold by British Telecom, and purchased by a private company, Financial Express, in 1994 and renamed New Prestel. During this period, the platform software was redeveloped onto a SCO Unix and Linux x86 platform away from the massive mainframes that filled a room. Additionally, the Citiservice financial data product was successfully redeveloped in house after being outsourced to Datastream during the time with BT.
Prestel Online, which was an Internet service provider spinoff, was sold to Scottish Telecom, and as of 5 June 2002, has since been merged into their other ISP activities.
The dial-up viewdata service was run down as the Internet gained in popularity.
In contrast to the demise of the British system, the French equivalent of Prestel, Teletel/Minitel, which used the slightly superior CEPT2 standard, received substantial public backing when millions of Minitel terminals were handed out free to telephone subscribers (causing Alcatel huge financial problems). As a consequence the Teletel network became very popular in France, and remains well used, with access now also possible over the Internet.
A closed access videotex system based on the Prestel model was developed by the travel industry, and continues to be almost universally used by travel agents throughout the country: see Viewdata. The Prestel technology was also sold abroad to several countries, and in 1984 Prestel won a UK Queen's Award for Industry both for its innovative technology and use of British products (it largely ran on equipment provided by GEC).

My research in the Garcia Lab is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive Notch signaling. The Notch pathway is a cell-to-cell communication system that plays a central role in cell fate determination and cancer. Notch receptors transduce signals upon engagement with ligands Jagged or Delta-like (DLL). Until recently, structural information describing Notch-ligand complexes was unobtainable due to their intrinsically low binding affinity. We overcame this obstacle by using directed evolution to affinity-mature the Notch-DLL interaction, which allowed us to capture a stable complex for crystallization. The resulting structure explains the role of essential Notch regulatory mechanisms such as tuning of receptor specificity by O-linked glycans. We are now using this newly acquired structural information to develop novel Notch agonists and antagonists to treat cancer.

Loma Nasha, Gaumont morph into deal
"The Chameleon," to be directed by Jean-Paul Salome ("Belphegor"), will recount the life of Frenchman Bourdin, who at age 24 pretended to be the missing 13-year-old son of a Texas couple. Perhaps more incredible than his impersonation was the fact that the couple said they believed he was their son. After being exposed, Bourdin was sentenced to six years in a Texas jail.
Romain Duris ("The Beat That My Heart Skipped") will play the lead. "He's given his agreement in principle," Loma Nasha co-chief Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar said.
Co-written by Salome and Nathalie Carter, the movie is based on the book "The Chameleon" by Christophe d'Antonio. The mainly English-language project was jointly developed by Loma Nasha and Gaumont, who will handle world sales on the film, and will be co-produced with Ram Bergman ("Brick"). Shooting is likely for spring next year.
Salome is now shooting World War II drama "Les Femmes de l'Ombre" (Female Agents) for TF1 International.
The second project with Gaumont is "The Vercors," a World War II drama about the eponymous high plateau near Grenoble in the French Alps, seen as strategically important due to its natural fortifications.
The film will recount the ill-fated "Montagnard Plan" backed by the Allies and General de Gaulle, according to which the plateau would become a haven for Resistance fighters and a drop zone for airborne commandos, from where they would strike at German forces.
But in June 1944, the German army launched an assault on the plateau, eventually regaining control of the Vercors at a heavy cost to the Resistance. "It's sort of a French Alamo; a place of hope and great sacrifice," Mention-Schaar said. "It was a rallying place for several hundred young people who wanted to save the honor of their country. They nearly all got massacred."
Veteran screenwriter Jean Cosmos is writing "Vercors." No director or cast are as yet attached. Budgeted in the $17 million-19 million bracket, the film is scheduled to shoot in summer 2008.
Mention-Schaar's recent producer credits include Pierre Jolivet's romantic comedy "Je crois que je l'aime" (Could This Be Love), which sold more than 830,000 tickets in France.

Excellent tour it was all that and more. I had a chance to observe another elephant trekking experience conducting by another company and it didn't come close to this experience. Well worth the money if you miss this you miss the boat.

The California General Corporation Law authorizes board action by written consent. Cal. Corp. Law § 307(b). Sometimes, I've been asked about signing an email consent. Section 17 of the Corporations Code (which governs, but is not part of the General Corporation Law) doesn't provide a very helpful definition of "signature". Section 17.1 was added because the Secretary of State wasn't comfortable with accepting faxed filings without express statutory authorization.
However, I like to point out that the General Corporation Law doesn't explicitly require that consents be signed by the Directors. Section 307(b) refers a "consent in writing" and the "written consent or consents". Thus, I believe that the operative question is whether an email constitutes a writing, not whether an email has been signed by the director.
There are two definitions related to "writing" in the Corporations Code. Section 8 is the most helpful because it defines "writing" to include electronic transmissions by and to the corporation (Sections 20 & 21). Section 21 requires that (i) the corporation have in place reasonable measures to verify that the sender is the director purporting to send the transmission; and (ii) the transmission be capable of retention, retrieval and review and thereafter rendered into clearly legible tangible form (i.e., capable of being printed). I would expect that email would meet the second requirement. The first requirement relating to reasonable measures should be easy to satisfy, but I expect that it could be overlooked. Section 195 to the GCL defines "written" and "in writing" as including facsimile, telegraphic, and other electronic communication when authorized by the Corporations Code, including an electronic transmission that meets the requirements of Section 20 (which deals with electronic transmissions by the corporation (not to the corporation (Section 21)). One final note, both Sections 8 and 195 use the word "includes" which arguably could be interpreted as providing a non-exclusive definition. Had the legislature wanted an exclusive definition, it could have used "means" as it does, for example, in section (§ 194.7).

Aligning TQM and Organizational Learning
Pearson, Christine M., Special Libraries
This article addresses Total Quality Management (TQM) in the general frame of organizational learning, including the pitfalls that can hamper TQM's contribution to improving competitive advantage. To establish the issue of TQM more concretely, three topics will be explored: (1) why managers and executives currently find themselves faced with an array of "programs of the week," (2) the fit between one such program, TQM, and organizational learning, and (3) potential misuses inherent in TQM.
Many management guidelines of the past decade devote attention to the constancy of change: changes in communication, global competition, transportation, information, and the work force itself Indeed, the past decade has been remarkable, not only in the constancy of change, but the speed of change. To meet the challenges of this rapid pace, managers and executives are searching for solutions, approaches, and answers. Typical of the alphabet soup of programs available are: Cost of Quality, High Involvement Initiatives, Standards and Issues Management, Quality Circles, Quality of Work Life, and Total Quality Management--in all its varied forms. None of these programs are bad. None of them are perfect. And none will work as a shortcut to a deep understanding of the organization. A sad observation of the last decade is that many employees and managers, confronted by the implementation of such programs, view them as add-ons, overlays, or "programs of the month." In the worst cases, these pessimists are right.
By contrast, the good news relevant to these programs is that it is exciting to work in an organization that continuously learns and practices any or all of these programs as processes to enhance learning and organizational self-awareness. TQM is a tool that can facilitate such learning.
The ordinary examples of the costs of organizations that do not learn fill the newspapers daily as businesses fail, employees lose their jobs, and products are discontinued. More dramatic examples capture international attention as they become full-scale crises. In the worst cases, such crises escape organizational boundaries, affecting the public and the natural environment. The space shuttle Challenger exemplified the dangers of short-term time pressures and the need to be right. The Exxon Valdez incident set new limits on the costs of not listening and not learning, as layers of communication links blocked critical information. Dow Corning's breast implant crisis resulted because the company did not learn to view potential product liability through the eyes of the customer. The decline and demise of the bulk of Sears' automotive repair services was the result of an inability to learn that placing the value of sales quotas above all else may result in just that outcome.
All of these examples were preceded by warning signals that the organization was not prepared to hear or see or learn from. All of these examples involved a lack of integration of thinking and acting among levels of the organization. All of these examples lacked learning at the organizational level.
Applied properly, TQM is not simply a means of quantifying quality; it is a means of expanding organizational thinking and learning capabilities. In the past, the essence of "quality" was to make products (or deliver services) according to fixed organizational standards. As this level of performance was attained, the goal shifted to producing goods (or services) that reliably matched customer needs (which might exceed or be different from previously accepted organizational standards). Top firm s are now trying to understand and achieve what Peter Senge calls the "latent needs" of the customer, that is, the features or products that the customer may truly value, but may have never requested. Common examples might include facsimile machines or second-day express mail service. Achieving such innovations requires organizational flexibility and adaptability; that is, the ability to learn. …

A technical standard is an established norm or requirement about technical systems.

In contrast, a custom, convention, company product, corporate standard, etc. which becomes generally accepted and dominant is often called a de facto standard.

BUY TWO CAMS! Just like the others, both of the cams were shot. My husband & I did this ourselves & have NEVER attempted appliance repair before.We propped the door up high enough to access the bottom hinge piece on the fridge & removed using socket. Removed the cover from the top hinge. Slid door down off the top hinge in able to get to the cam on bottom of door. Replaced this cam 1st in order to get door back on while worked to get the old cam off hinge. As others posted, this is rivited on. Used grinder to grind off rivit & hammer & punch to punch out. Attached new cam with bolt & nut found in our tin of leftovers. Inserted hinge into door & reattached to fridge. DONE! Not hard at all & didn't even argue the whole time.

One day, many moons and suns ago, I showed up to the studio to shoot headshots for an editor at AOL. I brought my 5D Mk II and two lenses along, but forgot to put something very critical into my camera bag. When doing test shots, I saw something horrifying come up in my images—dust. Though I was able to fix the images, I learned the hard way always to keep my camera, lenses and sensor clean. Here are a couple of items to use—and how to use them—to ensure that my mistake never happens to you.

Element Defense Lite
100,000 - 500,000 downloads
- "Realistic" graphics
- There should be more different towers and spells
+ By wizeapps UG (haftungsbeschraenkt)
"By thy power of the fifth"
Reviewed by Peter Warrior / Aug 21, 2013
A magical defense game
Element Defense doesn't pretend to be what it isn't. It's a defense game, quite simple if I may, based on a tiled board in where enemies show up at the leftmost and try to get to your castle at the other edge of the screen. You can place your own towers to beat them down before they harm you, and these towers can be upgraded. Yes, it's like any other standard defense game.
Fortunately, there are a few original features. Although you can only choose between three "towers", which are indeed a warrior, a mage and a ranger, every one has his own skill tree to be upgraded. Just to let you get the picture, for example the mage can unlock up to five different magic branches (one for each element plus darkness). Graphics are 3D rendered, perhaps not high quality at all, but at least not cartoony sprites as we are so badly used to. Anyway, don't forget to invoke your dragon if things get out of hand.
This lite version is seriously restricted, but is enough to decide whether to upgrade to the paid, complete version, or look for something anywhere else.
Element Defense Lite is the free version of Element Defense. It is limited to one single map and one difficulty. You can play a full game, i.e. defeat creep waves up to level 50. However, the free version is also limited to 2 elemental types (earth and air), i.e. you cannot upgrade to fire, water and darkness tower types. And you cannot buy permanent tower upgrades from gained xp-points as in full version.

text: The Art Style: Rotozoa wiki last edited by Tireyo on 05/28/13 03:10PM View full history OverviewIn the game, you control an organism with flailing tentacles that is suspended in different types of liquids. The object of the game is to have your organism rotate to absorb other colored, smaller organisms (known as goobugs) with a tentacle of the same color. Players are able to adjust the difficulty of the game by choosing the number of flailing tentacles they want to use. If players are unable to match the right color of goobug with the right color of tentacle, then the organisms health will decrease, and the spot on the tentacle where the goobug hit will fall off. The game will end when the organism runs out of health.

Gulfport, Miss. - The second suspect in the shooting death of a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student has been taken into custody in Mississippi.
Seandell Jackson, 18, was arrested late Monday afternoon in Gulfport, Miss.
He was listed as a fugitive accused of fleeing Wisconsin to avoid apprehension in the July 6 robbery and fatal shooting. He and a co-defendant are accused in the slaying of Nathan Potter, a 21-year-old student at UWM.
Jackson was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal's Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force and Gulfport police.
Milwaukee police last week arrested another suspect in the slaying, 19-year-old Derek Thomas.
Jackson is being held in the Harrison County jail without bond pending extradition.

Robust Manufacturing Conference (RoMaC) 2014
Today, global production networks (this means the nexus of inter-connected material and information flows through which products and services are manufactured, assembled and distributed) are confronted with:
- sudden and unpredictable large-scale changes of important parameters , which occur more frequently.
- event propagation in networks with high degree of interconnectivity, which leads to unforeseen fluctuations.
- non-equilibrium states, which increasingly characterize daily business.
These multi-scale changes deeply influence logistic target achievement and call for robust planning and control strategies.
Therefore, understanding the cause and effects of multi-scale changes in production networks is of major interest. New methodological approaches from different science disciplines are promising to contribute to a new-level comprehension of network processes.
Unconventional methods from biology, perturbation ecology, or auditory display are gaining increasing importance, as they are confronted with similar challenges. Advancements from the classical disciplines such as mathematics, physics and engineering are of continuing importance.

Re: Wiring & Installing A Battery Monitor
That was a great a write-up for installing the Victron, and it's a great monitor; but I recommend the Nasa Clipper BM1 battery monitor for a single house battery system. I did a very exhaustive study of all of the monitors out there and ended up settling on the BM1. It's very easy to install, gives you voltage, tells you in amps what you are putting into or taking out of your battery (charge/discharge), has a vertical bar graph to illustrate % of battery capacity, tells you in minutes how long at the current rate you will deplete your battery, has a bigger display so it tells you more at a glance than the Victron and has a backlight. I love it. And I think the price is about the same.
I have the BM1 on my house battery, and a simple Voltminder voltmeter on my start battery.
Just my 2 cents...

Development charge rates fall for non-landed residential sites
Published on Aug 29, 2014 5:48 PM
SINGAPORE - Development charges, which are the rates that developers pay to enhance the use of land, have fallen for the first time in almost 18 months for residential non-landed sites.
However, they shot up for parcels earmarked for commercial use, places of worship, civic institutions, as well as hotels and hospitals.
These charges, which reflect recent property values for the different segments and are closely watched by developers, fell by 2 per cent for non-landed homes, on the back of falling residential property prices since the start of the year.
The fees are reviewed every six months and were released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Friday.

What's your opinion about Artifact Tester? Is it reliable?
I can't believe your GPU speed won't overclock beyond 405MHz ?? The default for a XT type card is 390, and you are saying that yours only goes 15MHz higher, then stops ??? Overclocking doesn't just stop ! You start at some point getting artifact issues and at some higher point it may lock up, but speeds don't just stop ?
If your core speed can go no higher than 405MHz with original or any other bios, then first thoughts are that either the GPU chip or other Card components are faulty ?? Or, just maybe the GPU heatsink is not making good thermal contact ??? And, If we widen the scope of possabilities, a very low core overclock can also be forced by having a bad PSU ???
Before you even consider a voltmod, it would be most interesting to know what current GPU volts you get ??? Should be 1.2v in 2D, 1.3v when throttling triggered and 1.4v in 3D !
And, if your GPU voltage is minimum of 1.4v in 3D, and you still can only overclock to 405MHz with this level, then you should be considering replacing your card, not voltmodding it !!!
Also, its not useless to try many bios's, I flashed with about 20 before I settled with the MSI bios I currently use ! You see I wanted better performance and was prepared to go to whatever lengths necessary to get it !!! There are no instant easy answers with this kind of activity ?
The artifact tester should not be considered a good testing mechanism for your card !!
I used Aquamark3 for a lot of overclock testing because it is quite stressful and doesn't take long ! Also for final testing to prove efficacy of overclocked speeds; I also usually set both driver AA&AF to 8x, as these levels really stress your GPU and memory !!

Marine DI standing trial over training
Witnesses testify about tactics used on recruits
SAN DIEGO – Stomping on shaving kits. Drinking water to the point of vomiting. Slathering on sunscreen and coating it with dirt. Cramming recruits into bathroom stalls like clowns in a Volkswagen.
All choreographed by screaming, glowering Marine drill instructors.
Marking the start of testimony in the court-martial of Sgt. Brian Wendel, witnesses yesterday painted a vivid picture of life at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego last winter for members of Platoon 2167.
Wendel, 30, is charged with 17 counts of crimes such as maltreatment of recruits, assault and lying to an investigator.
Prosecutors rested their case in the late afternoon after questioning investigators, teachers from the depot's drill-instructor school and recruits who were part of Platoon 2167.
Defense attorneys told the judge, Maj. Brian Kasprzyk, that they will ask this morning that charges be dismissed because the prosecution hasn't proved its case.
Former recruits testified yesterday that Wendel wasn't present for most of the abuse. Several also said Wendel forced each platoon member to drink two or three canteens of water until several recruits vomited. They said Wendel became angry because, against his orders, some of them had eaten desserts after dinner.
"The issue you have to decide is, does that cross the line?" Capt. Jahn Olson, the senior defense attorney, told the jury panel.
The glimpse behind the boot camp's curtain came largely through the testimony of Sgt. Jerrod Glass, the drill instructor whom prosecutors described as mainly responsible for the platoon's "two months of terror."
Glass, 25, was the "kill hat" – a Marine term for the most junior and most aggressive of the platoon's four drill instructors. In November, a military jury found Glass guilty of mistreating recruits and sentenced him to six months in a military brig, a reduction in rank to private and a bad-conduct discharge.
But the prosecution also said that Wendel, the platoon's second-ranking drill instructor, witnessed many of Glass' cruel actions and even taught him some of the techniques.
"He turned a bright, promising drill instructor . . . into a boorish bully," said Capt. Christian Pappas, the lead prosecutor.
Although Glass was told not to strike recruits or force them into punishment exercises for more than eight minutes at a time, he said violations of those rules occurred every day.
The best drill instructors, Glass said, were good at "slinging stress" – finding ingenious ways to harass and unsettle the young recruits. The constant hazing may seem strange to the uninitiated, but Marines consider it a time-tested way of molding the world's best warriors.
Sometimes, Glass said, he would squeeze up to half a tube of sunscreen onto each recruit and order him to rub it in from head to toe. Then he would order the recruits to march or roll in dirt until they were filthy and uncomfortable.
Frequently, Glass ordered several dozen of his recruits to cram into four or five bathroom stalls. If they succeeded, he would reduce the number of stalls to two or three.

Target Heart Rate Calculator
Ever ask yourself, "how do I find my target heart rate?" Finding your target heart rate is easy with our target heart rate calculator. Target heart rate calculation can be determined for any age and activity level, enabling you to use a heart rate monitor and get the most benefit from your workouts.
Understanding your Target Heart Rate
It is recommended that you exercise within 55 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate for at least 20 to 30 minutes to get the best results from aerobic exercise. The MHR (roughly calculated as 220 minus your age) is the upper limit of what your cardiovascular system can handle during physical activity.
More about Heart Rate and Health
Now that you've calculated your target heart rate, let's help you get a better understanding of what that means. Check out our articles about body fat, weight loss and exercise to help you reach your goal.

Pump it Up: Strength Training New Trend for School Gym Classes
Filed under: In The News
Swimming, volleyball and track and field? As far as phys ed classes go, those sports are, like, so 1995. Today's kids who want to have fun and get fit in gym classes are chomping at the bit to lift weights and hit the strength building equipment.
"Pump It Up" is the new theme song among America's tween set who has discovered that muscle-strengthening beats football, soccer and other organized sports in the quest for ultimate fitness, the Wall Street Journal reports.
At a time when gym classes are waning in popularity as a mandatory grade school requirement, weight training is an elective on the rise, the newspaper says.
The trend is good news for public health care officials who say strength training helps control weight issues, improves motor skills, increases bone density, normalizes blood sugar and helps overall health, Stephen Ball, a University of Missouri exercise physiologist, tells the Journal. Plus, all that pumping builds confidence, too.
"In the past, PE teachers always emphasized aerobic programs that left bigger kids feeling like failures," Ball tells the Journal. "But the weight room is where those kids will develop a love of physical activity."
Even though kids are embracing weights and lifting, and it is becoming popular for kids at health clubs and private gyms, even the most enthusiastic health advocates say it would be difficult to make it mainstream at grade schools, the Journal reports.
That's because strength training equipment and weights need close supervision, the newspaper says, and weight equipment in schools typically is found in the athletic department and reserved for sports teams.
"That's the real challenge -- providing supervised opportunities for kids in the weight room," Boyd Epley, director of coaching performance at the National Strength and Conditioning Association in Colorado Springs, Colo., tells the Journal.
Also adding to the caution is the fact that injuries are common among children and adolescents using strength training equipment at home, according to a position paper issued in 2009 by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. The paper attributes such injuries to "unsafe behavior, equipment malfunction and lack of supervision." The paper cites the case of "a 9-year-old boy (who) died when a barbell rolled off a bench press support and fell on his chest."
