Inside the October 2007 Journal
Canada's largest optical telescope, the 74" reflector at the David Dunlap Observatory is to be closed and its lands redeveloped as part of a plan announced on September 10th by the University of Toronto.
The Winged Horse
Looking like a giant celestial baseball diamond, the Great Square of Pegasus stands proudly in eastern skies. Mythology has it that Perseus the hunter, along with Andromeda who he recently saved from the sea monster Cetus, rode off on this winged beast. As early falls nights slowly announce themselves with earlier sunsets and cooler temperature keeping mosquitoes at bay, telescopes should be working overtime, as Pegasus is peppered with faint galaxies.
If you are in the process of planning some vacation this month, make sure you set aside a few days for summer night observing. With the Milky Way in all its glory overhead as seen from the countryside, far from city light domes, you will want to stay up till the first sign of astronomical twilight begins. The observing window for this month in which the Moon will not interfere will last from August 8th to 16th with new Moon occurs on the 12th.
For the first time in 10 years, the inside of National Office has been painted. Where once were marked, peach-coloured walls, there is now mocha with white trim! The ceiling and some of the walls in the library and shipping area were included in the face lift.
Alden Foraie, Regina Centre President, appears in the Wednesday, 2007 July 25, edition of the Toronto Sun, talking about the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. See the story here: http://www.torontosun.com/Travel/Canada/2007/07/25/4366133-sun.html.
RASC member and Principal Investigator of the MOST telescope project Jaymie Matthews announced at the 2007 RASC General Assembly that proposals are now being accepted from the amateur astronomy community for time on Canada's own space telescope - the MOST microsatellite.
Arne Henden, Director of the AAVSO, took Vance Petriew by surprise when he asked him to come forward for a special Director's Service Award at the Banquet of Astronomy Roundup 2007 in Calgary, Alberta.
Vance took on the challenge of amassing and converting over 70,000 records at the AAVSO. Here is their write-up from the AAVSO Web site, www.aavso.org/aavso/about/volunteers.shtml
You are cordially invited to the International Dark Sky Association Symposium at the ASTROLab at Mont-Mégantic Provincial Park sponsored by IDA-Quebec. RASC Light Pollution Abatement Chair Robert Dick will be a featured speaker at this event. The RASC will be delivering a paper outlining the evolution of the RASC LPA program and will also be involved with media promotion of this international event. Note that if any Centres wish to contribute their experiences to the RASC program, they are encouraged to contact the LPA Committee Chair prior to August 15th so it can be included in the paper presentation.
The Archer's Many Targets
As the starry sky slowly changes from night to night, we have a small observing window when scrutinizing the lower most constellations. Opposed to the Big Dipper that is seen all year round, Sagittarius the Archer appears low in the south skies for a few hours per night. With so many interesting open and globular cluster to hunt down, we definitely have our work cut out.

Quote from Michael Shonrock…
"I had the opportunity to complete my undergraduate degree at Western Illinois University where, frankly, I majored in student activities and minored in college. As a fairly engaged undergraduate student, I had great admiration and respect for a number of WIU staff and faculty who clearly enjoyed their career in the university setting. Without a doubt, pursuing a degree in College Student Personnel was significantly influenced by my interaction, particularly with Student Affairs staff (you know who you are), and a desire to give back to both the university and the profession that gave me a plethora of opportunities to grow during my undergraduate years."

Smart Phone RepairzRead MoreA smartphone's tiny screen relies on the strange properties of liquid crystals. Check out Groupon's study of LCDs to learn how they create the vivid pictures in your pocket. Liquid Crystals and LCDs: How Cell Phones Resemble Carrots The term liquid crystal seems a contradiction, but a liquid crystal is actually neither a liquid nor a solid?it's both, stuck in a sort of chemical limbo with its molecules somewhere between the liquid and solid phases. When an electrical current passes through a liquid crystal, its molecular orientation changes, and so does the direction of light that passes through it. By sandwiching these crystals between polarized glass and manipulating the current passing through them, your phone is able to control the light they channel, resulting in the high-contrast images that appear on screen. Although our brains only see each pixel as a single dot, each consists of red, blue, and green subpixels that, when lit at various intensities, can emit more than 16 million colors. Despite their advanced applications, liquid crystals are not a recent discovery. They were first identified in the late 19th century by a scientist studying cholesterol extracted from carrots?a natural source of liquid crystals, as are human beings and most other living things, which tend to have them in their cell membranes. Liquid crystals and LCDs were the subject of research and patent applications throughout the early 20th century?including one filed by Marconi?s Wireless Telegraph Company in 1936?and finally hit consumer electronics in the early 1970s, when they were introduced in wristwatches.5929 Burnet RoadAustin, TX US

In today's Yankees-Blue Jays game, Toronto left fielder Rajai Davis made an amazing catch with one out in the seventh. Casey McGehee belted a ball deep to left, and Davis scaled the wall, with his back facing the field, and took the homer back. Some people are calling this the catch of the year, but I have my doubts.
The most-talked about contenders for "catch of the year" include Mike Trout's robbery of JJ Hardy in Baltimore, Gregor Blanco preserving Matt Cain's perfect game, Josh Reddick's Spiderman impersation, and Angel Pagan trying to one-up his teammate Blanco by getting *two* outs on his catch. Now, let's look at this catch in comparison to each one. Davis had time to make the catch, unlike Trout, Blanco, and Pagan. He robbed a homer like Trout (and NOT like Reddick), but had his back to the field like both Blanco and Pagan. He didn't get his uniform dirty, but only Blanco and Pagan really did.
Which one is the best? Well, it's obviously a matter of opinion. In *my* opinion though, the better catch belongs to either Trout or Blanco, both of whom have supreme narrative behind their catches (best rookie in a decade for Trout, perfect game for Blanco). Of course, you might have a different opinion from me, but I'm not going to try to coerce you in either direction.

KTM 990 and F800GS from SF to CO and back via the TAT
Heading out in a few minutes with Rubberneck on a KTM 990 and me on an F800GS east towards Lyons, CO for the RockyGrass Festival.
We'll try to keep this thread up to date on where we are but the most current info will be found at http://homespunrowdy.com/trackdaveanddave where we've got our SPOT map, short message posts and mobile uploads (yes, for our Moms). Oh yeah, and we're carrying enough tech gear to open a Best Buy so we'll post a full multimedia report when we get back.
We've been in Tahoe for the past couple days but today will pick up the Pony Express Trail around Fallon and take it to connect with the TAT. We're thinking we'll follow it east (maps in the GPS) to around Salina where we'll catch 89 North (or your better suggestion) to 40 East to be in Lyons Thursday afternoon.
After the festival, my girlfriend hops on the back of the F800GS and we take a crack at the TAT passes heading West from Salida to Moab 2-up over the next week. The final week, Rubberneck and I will continue West on the TAT as far as we can go before bailing to the slab to get home in time for a friend's wedding. Yes, technically, we're both groomsmen, but I think goggle-tan is a good look.
Hope to see some of you FF's out on the road. We'll be looking for the ADV salute.

Day 1: Pony Express (well, sort of) and 50 to Eureka
First time to a connection since leaving Tahoe on Sunday and wanted to update the report.
From Tahoe, we took 50 East to Silver Springs where we wanted to pick up some Pony Express Trail tracks we'd found online somewhere. Before we could even get the tires dirty, the F800GS started stalling as it's been doing in the heat (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...5#post10380565). Not to be shut down this early in our trip (and possibly in the running for the Darwin Awards), we found the track and pressed on.
Between my terrible sand technique and the big bike, I soon had my first about about 20 slow speed drops (though at least a few were caused by the bike stalling out on me). We found some shade beside a fence and cooled the bike off for a while and were able to limp to Fallon. Done with the sand and the fear of being vulture vittles after a breakdown, we hopped on 50 and beelined it through some dramatic thunder storms to Eureka to connect with the TAT heading east.
Emerging from the darkness at 10 pm into a bar in Eureka clad in stormtrooper gear generates some interesting responses. At the Owl Club, it was "How ya doin', tough guy?" followed by the news that no place in town was still serving dinner. At the Jackson House Hotel Saloon/Cafe, however, it was "Hey you, I need to talk to you" coming from Frank of Two 950's the TAT and for cause. Well, we soon decided that dinner was gonna come in 12 oz bottles from Becky behind the bar and Frank proceeded to educate us on issues from riding in the sand ("GET YOUR &^*% @SS OF THE SEAT AND GET ON THE PEGS!") to the effects of the new administration on the small business owner to the do's and dont's of convincing suckers you're married to a 80's sitcom star. Frank's a very smart guy with no shortage of opinions (or Las Vegas-themed jokes) who's brilliantly put together a great TAT ride for charity. Despite forcing Becky to stay open until 3 and endlessly feed the jukebox (sorry Frank, I don't think I need to hear "Chicken Fry" again anytime soon), we had a great time and quite a good first night. Too bad we couldn't meet Elton. I think we owe him an apology...

on the actual TAT...
Picking up where the other Dave left off...
After getting back to the motel in a semi-drunken stupor at about 3:30am , we decided to an 8am alarm with a couple of snooze buttons would be respectible. We were on the move again by about 9am or so.
Day 2 off-road was a lot more productive than Day 1. There's probably a reason there aren't too many reports on here about the Pony Express in western Nevada... After fighting our way through the sand, the dirt and gravel of the TAT in Nevada was a relative breeze. Our average speed probably went from the 10s to the 40s. We were cruising along vast open valleys of sage brush with nothing to stop us, except for the occasional cattle gate...
...or breakdown of the f800gs. Almost like clockwork, after riding hard for about 2 hours in 90+ degree heat, the gs would stall. It'd allow itself to start up again a couple of times, but within 10 minutes it was game over unless it got a good 30 minute break in the shade. Shade in eastern Nevada isn't always available, so we had to start to anticipate the breakdowns, and seek good rest spots to avoid this sort of scenario...
After a couple of "breaks/stalls" in the heat of the day, things started to cool off a bit towards the Humboldt Forest, which was some fun, fast, stall-free riding...
...the skies were getting darker and darker until they fully opened up with downpour rarely seen in California. It was refreshing, yet painful on the neck. It helped keep the dust down a bit, but not enough...
I was riding 2nd to make sure I was around in case of any more stalls, and to get some good video (forthcoming in a later episode).
Doing this portion of the TAT "salmon-style" meant that we were approaching Lund, and Sawmill Canyon. We gassed up, and hit a little joint called Whipple's (obligatory food porn shot for you FFs)...
Good food. Nice people. And then headed up the long road toward Sawmill Canyon...
Riding up through the canyon was awesome, and the terrain up top was even cooler. Mule deer (?)...
...and a trail that was like riding on freshly mowed grass...
...the weather was perfect up there, and the scenery even better. After a long day, with many a stall and break, it was nice to get in some consistent riding without any mechanical issues. Once we setup camp...
...the other Dave realized we had left something behind. The SPOT wasn't on his top-case anymore. We thought we had seen it at Whipples, but went back to the video footage to determine when we really last saw it...
..it was somewhere along the road up to Sawmill Canyon. Unfortunately, without cell reception / Internet available, we didn't know exactly where it was but probably within a half-mile stretch. We decided to double back and track it down in the morning.

Advertising: Volvo's president stands on suspended truck for crazy new campaign
If you you have that weird tummy-flipping thing when it comes to heights, I suggest you skip over this video, but for the rest of you, read on. To demonstrate just how hardy the Volvo truck towing hook is, the Swedish car giant followed the whole maxim of show rather than tell. And lo they suspended a 15 tonne Volvo Truck 20 metres above the water in Gothenburg harbour, and to ratchet up the tension they plonked Claes Nilsson, the company's actual president (and coincidentally the man with the coolest accent on Planet Earth) on top of the truck's cab. It's the first teaser in a campaign (which also includes the buttock-clenching video about ground clearance below) which promises a series of similarly daring stunts.

Day 5
No effect on handling from the gas can, Rhodie. It probably just balances out the weight of those Scrambler pipes on the other side. It was low as well, so worked out just fine.
We had been watching the weather channel each night, what had been unseasonably warm now turned downright cold. We woke up to 8 degrees and light rain. I had on a t-shirt, long sleeved shirt, fleece sweater, BMW jacket with thermal liner and nylon rainsuit over top. That was just enough for comfort.
We picked up a complimentary satellite phone at the Wabush hotel (Labrador City's twin). These are provided free for 24 hrs, with a refundable credit card deposit by the Newfoundland and Labrador dept. of transport. Nice peace of mind, even if it's not needed.
We arrived at Churchill Falls, 248 km later for a snack and gas. The rain had let up shortly after Lab city, and we were into choking dust again. The road varied from washboard to smooth and straight with speeds in the 65-90 km/h range. There were lots of maintenance parties out with graders so the soft spots required extra care.
The next section was the one I was most concerned about in terms of fuel. Heading east out of Churchill Falls it's about 290km of gravel, spruce trees and black flies, with nothing else until Goose Bay. My gas can fabrication was designed with this stretch in mind.
Part way along a sign said "rough road ahead". It turned out to be a 20 km stretch of pure washboard. The longer travel suspension on Bruce's KLR handled it OK, but it gave grief to the Ikons on the Scrambler. The relentless hammering had emulsified the oil in the shocks, so they had zero damping. I reduced speed to about 45 km/h and rode standing up. It got so bad I stopped the bike to see if the seals had blown.
A long, smooth section followed and the shocks recovered damping in about an hour. As we approached Goose Bay, with 37 km to go showing on the GPS, a lovely ribbon of fresh asphalt appeared. They hadn't even painted the pavement markings yet.
A few minutes along when this sign appeared it occurred that we had reached the farthest point the road would take us from home. And, we had officially survived the Trans-Lab with no mishaps.
Distance was 544 km for the day, now a total of 2803 for me.
As the picture shows, the dust had been fierce. The nice folks at the hotel got a hose out to rinse the worst of it off. Due to the low speeds I got the best mileage of the entire trip with 252 km to reserve. I rode into town without touching the supply in the can.
It was Monday afternoon at 4:30 pm and the ferry was Tuesday at 5 pm, so we had a bit of R&R.
A ride around town and we located the dock for tomorrow's departure and had a look around the air base. It was a huge base before the end of the cold war, with several of the European NATO countries maintaining a presence to practice low flying over the expansive wilderness of Labrador.
Looking back from whence we came.

Bearing units... offer dual-sealing protection
Product Announcement from SKF/North America
MARATHON® mounted bearing units offer dual-sealing protection against contaminants
SKF Marathon® mounted bearing units integrate a patented stainless steel dual-sealing system designed to protect against contaminants, resist corrosion, and extend service life. These bearing units are among the growing family of MRC® solutions engineered to withstand typically harsh conditions in the food processing and beverage industries.
The unique sealing arrangement consists of a double-lip insert seal (rubber bonded to AISI 304 stainless steel), an AISI 304 stainless steel flinger, and a rubber-backed steel gasket. The insert seal and flinger combine to create a double barrier against pollutants and washdowns, and the gasket, flinger, and USDA Food Grade grease between insert seal and flinger deliver added sealing efficiencies. Stainless steel contributes superior corrosion resistance.
The Marathon series includes heavy-duty, extreme-duty, and composite versions incorporating high-quality, corrosion-resistant insert bearings (coated or stainless). Available in a range of sizes, standard housing styles include pillow block, two- or four-bolt flange, or tapped base. Three-bolt bracket flange plus wide and narrow slot take up units are available.
The bearing units are lubricated for their operating life; offer high load-carrying capacity to help prevent premature bearing wear; and serve virtually maintenance-free.
Made-to-Order (MTO) warranted products can be developed through a dedicated MTO program. CAD drawings of standard products are available for downloading free from www.skfusa.com/mrc

THE ADDICTIVE potential of cocaine may have been widely overstated, according to a Canadian psychologist. 'The drug is no more addictive or medically risky than drinking alcohol or coffee, gambling, smoking tobacco or marijuana, or making love to excess,' says Bruce Alexander, a psychologist at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.
Alexander believes misinformation about the actual dangers of the drug has led to 'cocaine hysteria' throughout North America. The resultant 'war on drugs' in the US, particularly against cocaine, will be an expensive failure, he predicts, because it fails to address the true causes of long-term substance abuse, such as poverty, societal decay, and psychological distress.
Alexander bases his controversial conclusions on research conducted with psychologist Patricia Erickson of Toronto's Addiction Research Foundation. The scientists conducted a comprehensive review of the available animal, clinical, and epidemiological studies, as well as carrying out original research in Canada. Details of the research ...

Here's part two of the Q and A with UK great and Indianapolis Colts tight end Jacob Tamme. The former Kentucky star will play in Super Bowl XLIV against the New Orleans Saints next Sunday in Miami.
Check out part one of the interview.
Cat Scratches: When people think about some of the premier franchises in the NFL today, one of the first organizations that come to mind is the Colts. Tell me about your experience with the Colts in your first two seasons.
Jacob Tamme: There's definitely a lot of nationwide respect for the franchise. Mr. (Bill) Polian, (president of the Colts) and (head coach) Mr. (Jim) Caldwell have done a great job of putting the right pieces together and now we have a chance to win the big one. It's a great group of guys and a lot of really good football players. Playing with this team has been a lot of fun.
CS: It appears to be a perfect fit for you in the sense that Kentucky was a high-octane offense during your playing days and then you basically moved on to the NFL's high-octane offense.
JT: Yeah, they have a lot of offensive weapons. They use the tight end in a lot of different ways, probably as many or more than any other team. It's a great fit and I've just been pleased to do my part and be a part of it and to hopefully help us come out on the winning side a whole lot this year. Hopefully we'll do it one more time.
CS: You have one of the all-time greats throwing you the pigskin in Peyton Manning. What's your relationship like with him?
JT: He's been great. He's everything that everybody thinks that he is. He's an amazing quarterback and he's a great leader. Being a part of an offense where you have a guy like that who pushes himself to the limit and prepares as hard as anybody maybe in the history of the league is great. He gets himself mentally and physically ready every single week. He challenges you to be the best player you can be. He's a perfect quarterback to play with and to be in an offense like this with.
CS: As you mentioned, the Colts utilize tight end Dallas Clark probably better than any other team. What has it been like to learn under one of the game's best pass-catching tight ends?
JT: Dallas has been great. He's a guy that I actually watched a little bit of film of when I was at Kentucky in trying to become a better tight end. To play with him and compete with him and learn from what he does, I couldn't really ask to be in a better spot to become a better football player. He has definitely helped with that by showing me the ropes a lot last year. He was a huge help to me as a rookie. He's a great friend and a great player."
CS: I know you still follow Kentucky and keep touch with everybody in Lexington. What were your thoughts on the retirement of Rich Brooks, a coach who meant a lot to you and your development?
JT: It was kind of bittersweet. He obviously poured his heart and soul into the program and cared about it very deeply and did an outstanding job. He gave me a chance to come to Kentucky so I was kind of sad to see him retire, but it's that time in his life. At the same time it's really exciting for Joker Phillips. I couldn't be more happy for him and I am excited for their future as a program. It's an exciting time. I think it's a perfect combination. I'm sure Joker will change a thing or two, but a big part of it is consistency where you won't have a huge switch. In a lot of ways it's similar to what we have here with coach (Tony) Dungy and coach Caldwell. Coach Caldwell didn't keep everything the exact same but there is still that consistency. What a great job that coach Brooks did. He certainly means a lot to me. I look forward to seeing him sometime pretty soon.
CS: Your class featured a lot of notable players that really changed the program and then went on to the NFL. Do you still keep up with those guys?
JT: One of the highlights of the year this year was playing against both Keenan (Burton) and Wesley (Woodyard). Both of those guys I was real close to at Kentucky. They are guys who care about the program and they were obviously instrumental in helping us turn the program around. I got some pictures with Keenan and Wes before and after the games and was able to catch up with them and have a conversation. What a neat moment to be able to sit there and hang out with the guys that I played with at Kentucky before and after an NFL game.
CS: What's the schedule like for the next week leading up to the Super Bowl?
JT: We leave for Miami on Sunday. We will try to keep the practice schedule as normal as possible with obviously having to use a different facility and everything. There will be a lot of media obligations and things like that, although not too many for me (laughs). It's going to be fun. It's going to be a great week. I'm sure there will be some great chances to have fun with family and friends, and also we'll remember the number one thing which is to try and win the game. I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to soak it up and try to remember it forever, so that's another reason to make sure you win the game. You want that to be the ultimate memory.

It is true that many creative people fail to make nature personal relationships, and some are extremely isolated. It is also true that,in so instances, trauma, in the shape of early separation or bereavement, has steered the potentially creative person toward developing aspects of his personality which can find fulfillment in comparative isolation. But this does not mean that solitary, creative pursuits are themselves pathological....

Catalyst Principal Partners invests amounts of between US$5million - US$20million into deals with an average investment period of between 4 to 6 years.

The private equity firm has also invested in ChemiCotex, a leading personal and oral care manufacturer, and Chai Bora, the largest tea packaging firm, both based in Tanzania. The firm has also invested in Ethiopia's Yes Brands, the leading mineral water bottling company in Ethiopia.

"The economy has become such a complex horror that there will be no simple solutions and anyone who tells you they know how to fix it is selling you snake oil. Any solution is sure to involve a broad spectrum of measures and will probably involve making things more difficult in the short-term in order to create long-term stability."
"Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He brought death into the world."
"What the Democrats don't get is that while the American people are longing for authenticity, they come across as totally inauthentic, ... because they try to represent what they think the American people want, and in the process entirely lose themselves. Ironically, as a result, there are now over 60 percent of Americans opposed to the war in Iraq who are not represented by either political party."
"I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop."

The Evolution of Parental Care by T. H. Clutton-Brock, Princeton University Press, pp 352, £37.50 hbk/ Pounds sterling 15.25 pbk
Sex is one of our major pre-occupations. Yet in animals it is parental care that largely determines the intensity of competition for sex, and hence the mating pattern. The field of parental care is full of anomalies. In The Evolution of Parental Care, Tim Clutton-Brock attempts to amalgamate and resolve these problems. He focuses on the costs and benefits of parental care and investment and the central questions of who cares, how and why. Parental care and investment may be distinguished by analogy to a person who cares for their children by taking them to school, but invests in them by paying the mortgage.
One of the salient features of the book is the bewildering variety of behaviour among animal parents. Ostrich males compete for females, a seemingly usual behaviour, ...

The Runewarden Class
Armed in shimmering fullplate and wielding dual blades inscribed with arcane runes, the Runewardens are the epitome of discipline and honour in combat. Protection and preservation is their motto, and they are selfless in whatever cause they represent. Fittingly, they possess the knowledge of crafting totems and sketching runes upon them, and the totems are often implanted in cities and other properties as protection against enemies, the runes upon the totems attacking enemies on sight. Their studies of the magic inherent in representational forms also has given them the knowledge to sketch runes not only on totems and weapons but upon themselves, others, and on the ground, each rune possessing a different power.
Their totems can also be wielded for use in combat, but Runewardens generally eschew this use in favour of their beloved blades. Strengthened with runes and usually dripping with coated venoms, the flashing dual blades of a Runewarden are a magnificent sight in full combat. Discipline and honour are the watchwords of a Runewarden, and the movement of their formations on the battlefield can be a dazzling sight indeed.

Consumers are being ripped off by offers of fake prizes in a new casino survey scam.
SCAMwatch is warning consumers about a telemarketing survey which focuses on casinos in various Australian cities, including Canberra. This appears to be the first step in a new scam that has been targeting Australian consumers.
The survey call is followed by another announcing that the consumer has won $350,000 Hong Kong dollars.
A winner's claim form and a raffle ticket are then provided via email or fax.
The raffle ticket features a crowned logo, the address as Canberra, Australia (or possibly another capital city), a confirmation code and details of a related website. Cheques for large sums of money in Hong Kong dollars have also been sent to some participants. SCAMwatch believes that these cheques are fake.
To claim the prize, the winner's claim form has to be returned to the telemarketers with proof of the participant's ID. This can include a Medicare or driver's licence number. In some cases participants have been asked for bank account details.
To date all the winning confirmation codes reported are KW99891. This code, once entered into the web address provided brings up a notification saying:
The website features ornate gold graphics, a Hong Kong address and includes what appears to be a Canberra phone number. The address given when this number is contacted is for a genuine Canberra address, but not for this trader. SCAMwatch believes the Hong Kong address provided is also fake.
Requests for money via money transfer then begin. Excuses for upfront transfer requests include payment for tax certificates and other administration costs to claim the prize.
SCAMwatch warns consumers not to send money or provide personal details to people they don't know and trust.
If you have been scammed, note down all the relevant information - such as, when you received the calls who you spoke to, the website/s you visited and any other documentation you have received about the prize.
Report the matter to the ACCC's Infocentre on 1300 302 502 or visit the report a scam page in SCAMwatch.
Explore SCAMwatch to find out more about unexpected prizes and how you can protect yourself.

What are the measurements? the two cards pictured are different on the back end but both have what seems to be the same length on picture.
- Asked by Zii R from Charlotte
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
This is a full-length 12" graphics card with the integral extender (which is there to keep the card from sagging and damaging the logic board when installed, since it is heavy). Apple should really remove one of the pictures since there's only one style for the 5770.

The Japanese company Toshiba is developing a conveyor belt which uses high-temperature ceramic superconductors to transport items of several kilograms up walls and across ceilings. The conveyor will be virtually frictionless, dust-free and independent of gravity, transporting goods by levitation. It could be used in electronics factories and space stations.
The company has already built a test track 2.2 metres long, which can carry containers weighing 1.5 kilograms with loads of 3 kilograms, at speeds up to 1.5 kilometres an hour. The containers are held 5 millimetres above a magnetic track by a phenomenon called flux pinning where a superconductor resists the movement of lines of magnetic flux through its bulk.
Each container has a block of an yttrium oxide ceramic superconductor at each corner. The track is made from samarium-cobalt permanent magnets. To set a container on the track, the container is held in place above the track and ...

You report on a monitoring system for the elderly that is about to be sold in the US by General Electric (15 May, p 22). A system with similar functions was developed at Brunel University in a programme that started in August 2000.
It differs from the reported system in that when it detects a problem in the home, it starts to negotiate with the occupant. It encourages them to correct the abnormality, for example, by having breakfast or locking the back door. Only if the negotiation fails does it alert a carer or care organisation. This saves carer time and supports continuing independence.
Real people have been living in a pilot installation in 10 flats in Greenwich, London, for over 18 months. The Insight system is now commercially available from Huntleigh Healthcare, one of the project partners.

The facts and Future of TCE
About TCE
TCE is dedicated to informing and mobilizing Texans to protect the quality of their lives, their health, their communities and the environment. We believe that people have a right to know and a right to act on issues that fundamentally affect their lives and future generations.
TCE is a non-partisan, non-profit citizens' organization that focuses on local and state issues. TCE has organized award-winning campaigns to protect our public health in Texas. Polls consistently show Texans support policies to protect the environment and our quality of life; TCE works to give Texans the opportunity to channel that support into action.
Oftentimes we face opposition from powerful interests that would resist changes that benefit our public health. To fight organized money, we need organized people. Contributions of funds, time and talent provide TCE with the necessary resources to help Texans have a voice in the policy-making process. Each member represents an educated and concerned citizen, so please join TCE.
TCE is a 501(c)(4) organization for tax purposes. Contributions to TCE are not tax-deductible because we want the freedom to organize to affect public policy and hold elected officials accountable to the residents of Texas. (TCE has a sister organization, Texas Campaign for the Environment Fund, TCE Fund, which is a 501 (c)(3) organization. Contributions to TCE Fund are 100% tax-deductible. Click here for details on TCE Fund.)
Mission & Vision
We envision a Texas free from pollution.
Our mission is to empower Texans to fight pollution through sustained grassroots organizing campaigns that shift corporate and governmental environmental policy.
Support Statement
- TCE is a non-partisan, non-profit citizens' organization that focuses on local and state issues.
- TCE works to hold government and businesses accountable to public concern on Texas health, environmental, and economic issues.
- TCE promotes policies that ensure clean air and clean water, while encouraging recycling and the reduction of waste.
- TCE empowers people to make democracy work. TCE protects citizens' right to know about pollution in their communities.
Neighborhood Canvass
One lasting legacy of environmental organizing is canvassing. This is as important today as it has ever been in the efforts to protect the public health and our nation's natural resources.
Door-to-door and phone canvassing are vital to our success. It allows us to reach a large number of people, in many towns, income levels, with varied political affiliations. One of the strengths of TCE is the diversity of our membership; canvassing allows us to build this diverse base of support.
Every night, all year long, TCE's staff is out in different neighborhoods all over Texas, mobilizing citizens to get involved and have a positive impact on the environment and our quality of life. When a representative of TCE knocks on your door or calls you on the phone, he or she is there with the intent to inform you about an important issue affecting your life, and get you involved in the campaign. TCE canvassers generated over 60,000 letters to decision-makers such as elected officials and corporate leaders last year alone, as well as getting over 40,000 citizens involved as members.
As a grassroots organization, TCE cannot compete with money that polluting interests and other powerful lobbyists are able to contribute to the campaigns of our elected officials; we use strength in numbers instead. That is why it is important for TCE to have dedicated people concerned about our environment on our staff, and the yearly support of the citizens of Texas.

Portion of North America from the Mississippi River to the

flowing through the current states of Washington and Oregon to
its mouth at the Pacific. Along the edges of the river are the

encountered along with the number of people at each site.

The Forest Heritage Center Museum and Oklahoma Forestry Services, a division of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry will kick-off the annual fall exhibit, "Masters at Work" with a competitive flair. The turning competition will be held September 12th – 13th, 2014 in the courtyard of the Museum. Artists will arrive with a piece of wood, their lathe and tools and let their creativity take over as they turn the wood into a beautiful work of art for the Empty Bowls Program.
After an intensive selection process that encompassed woodturners from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Tennessee and Missouri, demonstrators have been chosen to compete in the Master's at Work: Woodturning Competition. These demonstrators will participate in four different "turn-offs" and multiple workshops creating an immense wood "shaving" match worth viewing.
"The Forest Heritage Center has been working diligently towards increasing awareness of woodturning as an art form. By working with the Empty Bowls Program, we hope to bring the art form to an even greater level," said Doug Zook, FHC program director.
The Southeast Oklahoma Woodturners will also sponsor two special contests at 2:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. A woodturning project chosen at random will be announced for members of the American Association of Woodturners to participate in. Additional prize money will be awarded each day for these winners.
This year's woodturning competition will also coincide with a Basket Making Workshop and an Art Retreat & Outdoor Painting Workshop: "Capturing Nature's Beauty," giving visitors and participants the chance to watch some serious lathe wrangling in between brush strokes. "Capturing Nature's Beauty" is available for adult beginners or advanced painters on Friday & Saturday. For more information click the link above, visit www.artlessonswithjamie.com or call Jamie Carter at 903-674-2018 to register.
Experienced basket maker, Linda Lou Alexander will be providing a workshop to teach her famed basket weaving skills. The workshops will be held at the Forest Heritage Center Museum on Friday, September 12th from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, September 13th from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Two different types of baskets will be offered. For $10 guests can choose to make a Double Wall Western Cherokee Basket or for $15 you can make a Pine Needle Coiled Basket. There's no need to register for this workshop; just come as you are. It's a workshop for people of all ages with supplies provided.
All this will take place as gallery visitors seize the opportunity to interact with the artists as they compete. When the bell tolls, signaling the competition is over, judges will evaluate the techniques, artistry and craftsmanship to award the prestigious blue ribbon to the winning artists on Sunday, September 14th , 2014 at 1:00 p.m. during the opening reception. The turnings created during the competition will be added to the Forest Heritage Center's permanent wood art collection and be on display until October 19th in the Wood Art Gallery.
In addition, each demonstrator's represented club will have numerous woodturnings displayed in the wood art gallery and many of the artists will be on hand sharing their turning techniques and tricks of the trade. This is an excellent opportunity for the public to gain first-hand knowledge about woodturning from some of the region's most talented woodturners.
"As the Wood Art Capital of Oklahoma, the Forest Heritage Center Museum
makes a perfect venue for this type of art experience," stated Doug
Zook, FHC Museum director."This should be an exciting weekend for all ages while showcasing the unique form of wood art."
This exhibit is made possible in part by Oklahoma Forestry Services, Oklahoma Arts Council and the Forest Heritage Center Advisory Board and staff.
Exhibit Open to the Public: September 12th - October 19th,
Gallery Hours: Wednesday – Saturday,
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. & Sunday 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m

So, who else watched this episode?
What stands out to me,is how Shamar handled loosing. He couldnt get one TD with seemed to really bother him,and Chris has amazing TDD to keep the fight standing. What really bothered me was Shamar went to Dana,and said,I wanted to show you I could bang. Then Dana called him on his bullshit,and said you tried to take him down, and Shamar used the bad back excuse. Which I think is a lie seeing as Shamar has had the longest time off.
So anyone else impressed with the fights were getting? Really pick up this episode.

A Fragile Tomorrow
Formed in a small town in Orange County, N.Y., the power pop quartet A Fragile Tomorrow seems to have fully embraced its new home base here in the Lowcountry on its last effort, a live album recorded at Awendaw Green.
The move wasnt as surprising as it first may seem, being that the band is a longtime collaborator with Awendaw Green regular Danielle Howle.
The band had its 2009 album, Tripping Over Nothing, produced by Howle; in turn, lead singer Sean Kelly co-produced and mixed Howles 2011 album, New Year Revolutions.
Though A Fragile Tomorrow is based in Charleston, the quartet spends most of its time on the road, performing alongside the likes of the Indigo Girls, The Bangles, Antigone Rising, Blues Traveler, Garrison Starr and others.
The band recently wrapped up a string of dates with Matthew Sweet and will be back on the road in 2013 following the release of its new effort, Be Nice Be Careful.
A Fragile Tomorrow will perform tonight at The Mill, 1026 E. Montague Ave., in North Charleston.
Call 225-2650 for more information.
Stereo Reform
Trio Stereo Reform began in Charleston several years ago before moving west to Los Angeles in search of a larger fan base for its funk-inspired music style and spirited live performances.
After leaving L.A. to tour for a year, the band decided to return to South Carolina, re-settling in Greenville, where it has remained for the past few years.
Musically, the band builds on a foundation laid by such funk/rock bands as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More, but reverberates with more modern influences ranging from the Kings of Leon to Ghostland Observatory.
The bands live show is a sweaty collision of passion and musicianship that is sure to take charge of any crowd and catapult what might be a dull evening into the kind of frenetic dance party that Charleston so adores.
Stereo Reform will take part in a special Last Day on Earth performance Friday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway, with Jordan Igoe, Mackie Boles and The Dead 27s. Tickets are $7 at the door or online at etix.com. Doors open at 9 p.m.
Go to charlestonpourhouse.com or call 571-4343 for more information.
Motormouth Mabel
One of Charlestons rare punk breeds, Motormouth Mabel has spent several years bouncing between house shows and lenient venues, anywhere tolerant enough to host the booze-fueled chaos that seems to trail the quartet.
As is the punk way, Motormouth Mabel tends to shy away from media exposure and self-promotion, but despite its apathy, or perhaps because of it, the band has developed a dedicated fan base around the Southeast through sporadic pop-up appearances and quietly released records.
Motormouth Mabel will perform Saturday at The Royal American, 970 Morrison Drive, with Bully Pulpit. Tickets are $5 at the door. Doors open at 9 p.m.
Call 817-6925 for more information.

|Serena slips back into her old habits because she is ashamed of her secret. She eventually reveals it and her friends Blair, Nate and Chuck have to put their differences aside, in order to help her. Unfortunately, Serena is too ashamed to share the truth with Dan, therefore he assumes the worse about his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Rufus is excited when his band is invited to perform at a Rolling Stone-sponsored concert, but Lily is the last person on earth he expects to see at the performance, especially since her wedding rehearsal dinner is the same night

Best work-from-home cafes -- Oakland/Berkeley
I'll third that. On this recommendation, I went to Leila to do some work, and I sit here now. It's a cute and spacious place with the most friendly staff I've ever experienced in a cafe: "here is your sandwich, sir." Sir? Wow. It's raining out, but the outdoor area looks really nice for when it's Sunny.
Had the "berkeley" sandwich (pesto, melted cheddar, roasted peppers), and some split pea soup (chunky and homemade tasting). The food is good and reasonably priced, but it didn't knock my socks off. If they took a step up in bread quality, it would bring everything up a notch. Also the Rooibos chai latte was pretty good. I would eat while I'm here without a doubt, but would not come here for the sole purpose of eating.
Coffee is also fine, but as with the food, not a coffee destination. They will also make iced espresso drinks, which is more than I can say for Local 123, who are worried about "Fracturing" the espresso with ice: total snake oil, pseudoscience BS.
Free internet if you order food. I think they would let you use internet if you got drinks too, but they'd rather you buy food.
This may become my go-to working cafe. I really like it a lot. Thanks for the recommendation.
