# Hello, Please be gentile im tender. I have a HP P7-1026 Desktop pc. It has 6 gigs of ram, 1tb hd, runs windows 7 home edition. 64 bit, has amd (graphics?) HD4200 series and it does run some games pretty good such as, Borderlands1, Far cry 1+ 2, All the half lifes, team fortress', resident evil 5 (shockingly), and a few others that aren't so strenuous. I would LOVE to be able to play Skyrim, Battlefield3, SOME C.O.Duties, and other higher setting games. now Im curious. Since it will run some decent games is it me but im thinking it wont take much to upgrade it to run the newer titles. Please feel free to give as much or as little input as you want. I am completely new at PC modification but am no idioit. I learn very quickly. Thank you for your time and patience with me. I truly do appreciate it tremendously. Sincerely Brenden. If you feel like chatting add me, Nednerbish :)
Can I upgrade my Pc to run Higher end games? Help?

specs of HP P7-1026
Discrete GPU would have to function within the limitations of a 250W power supply. Or swap out the power supply too.
- 1 PCI Express x16 slot Gen 2 speed
Not sure whether this means PCIE 2.0, or whether it's forward/backward compatible.
I'm %99 positive that a 550W power supply and my old 5770 would serve this build admirably.

It would need a graphics card and a new power supply.
I wouldn't expect the case to cool very well so I wouldn't recommend a high end card.

Agree with this. If you live in the US/Canada then you can check out blackfriday/cyber monday deals on neweggs website (you should be able to get a decent powersupply on sale for like $40). Then you can get whatever GPU you have left in your budget ( if you have a decent budget then a 650ti boost/7850 or higher will do wonders to your system).

As mentioned, you'll need to get a better power supply for a video card, but make sure your case allows for a bigger psu. I've seen many Dell's and HP's (in mid-size cases) that won't fit psu's from other manufacturers. I did a really quick search on Google and didn't see any issues, but I'd spend 10 minutes or so researching it just to be safe.

A teeth-chattering cold wave with sub-zero temperatures was expected to keep its icy grip on much of the eastern U.S. into the weekend before seasonable temperatures bring relief.
A polar air mass that's been blamed for multiple deaths in the Midwest moved into the Northeast on Wednesday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue wind chill warnings across upstate New York and northern New England.
In northern Maine, the temperature dipped to as low as 36 below zero Wednesday morning. The weather service was calling for a wind chills as low as minus-45.
Keith Pelletier, the owner of Dolly's Restaurant in Frenchville, said his customers were dressed in multiple layers of clothing and were keeping their cars running in the parking lot while eating lunch. It's so cold that even the snowmobilers are staying home, he said.
"You take the wind chill at 39 below and take a snowmobile going 50 mph, and you're about double that," he said. "That's pretty cold."
The Canadian air mass that brought arctic air is being blamed for several deaths across the Midwest. It also forced schools to close, caused delays of commuter trains and subways, and kept plumbers busy with frozen pipes.
In New York City, food vendor Bashir Babury contended with bone-numbing cold when he set up his cart selling coffee, bagels and pastries at 3 a.m. Wednesday. On the coldest of days, he wears layers of clothing and cranks up a small propane heater inside his cart.
"I put on two, three socks, I have good boots and two, three jackets," he said. "A hat, gloves, but when I'm working I can't wear gloves."
In Pottsville, Pa., letter carrier Cheryl Vandermeer was stoic as she walked her route Wednesday with temperatures in the teens and wind chill in the single digits. She was thankful she had a job that kept her moving, even if it was outside.
"I'm not just standing around," she said. "So for me it's cold, but it's not intolerable."

Georgia Perimeter College's 50th and final graduation under the GPC banner will take place Friday, May 8, at 10:30 a.m. at the Georgia World Congress Center. The college expects to become a unit of Georgia State University next January.
With the fiscal year winding down, the city of Covington got word that it is "in good, good financial shape," according to Miller Edwards of Mauldin and Jenkins CPAs, LLC, which presented its audit to the council Monday.
IN BRIEF: Interstate 20 westbound at Salem Road is shut down due to a tractor trailer fire. No injuries are reported. Check back later for more.
As a way to promote downtown businesses and eateries, Main Street Covington is working with area shops and restaurants on "Love for Mom," Day, Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
There's nothing a termite likes more than a damp, dark place rich.
The Board of Commissioners is preparing to vote on whether to allow SRG Global to carry out testing around its Covington plant to determine the extent of chemical contamination after a 2013 test revealed trichloroethylene (TCE) in the groundwater.
A new proposal to cap county attorney fees at $800,000 could help bring the county's legal spending within the upper range of other Georgia counties, but it would also be a significant budget increase at a time of severe financial constraints and is already facing pushback from critics.
The strains of '80s and '90s classic rock will be heard over lunch in downtown Covington beginning Thursday, May 7, with the launch of the 25th season of Concerts on the Square.
Superior Court Judge Horace J. Johnson, Jr., Alcovy Judicial Circuit, Covington, became President-Elect of the Council of Superior Court Judges on Friday, and his term will run through April 30, 2016.
One of the first items on Newton County School Superintendent Samantha Fuhrey's agenda for the 2015-16 school year was filling the vacancies led by South Salem and Porterdale elementary schools principals Holly Dubois and Dr. Lizella Dodson, respectively.
Newton County faces some tough decisions for next year's budget with the Sheriff seeking a $6.2 million increase and county employees impatient for raises.
Newton County School System will hold its annual Kindergarten Round-Up during the week of May 4- May 7. Children must be 5 years old by Sept. 1, 2015 (child must have been born on or before September 1, 2010) to register for the 2015-2016 school year. Parents should bring the prospective kindergarten student with them to the roundup so teachers can conduct screenings with the children.
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." That quote, by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired the spirit of a Newton County scholarship given in King's name and about to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Gasoline prices have fallen below $3 a gallon for the first time since early this year, and the steady decline is expected to continue through the end of the year.
The Porter Memorial Branch Library was officially awarded LEED Gold certification Wednesday, becoming the second library in Georgia to receive that level of environmental honor.
An overturned truck has halted traffic on I-20 West near the Almond Rd exit.
Due to a breakdown at our press, The Covington News was not printed until late this morning. Our delivery drivers are out and about right now delivering your papers. The News thanks you for your patience while we resolve this matter.
Covington officials want a new airport terminal building to be an impressive entrance to the city with state-of-the-art conference facilities.
Saturday Dec. 10, Elayna Guerrero, age 11, of Covington, played Mary in a Christmas Nativity, called "Bethlehem Live!" in Saint George. Elayna's grandparents, Irene and Randy Williams, organize this outdoor city tour and performance for Building the Body for Christ Ministries.
Both private and Covington officials are exploring the possibility of purchasing the recently-closed Indian Creek Golf Club, but a local golf course owner says that could be an expensive proposition.
Newton County has a lack of available mid-sized industrial buildings, in the 100,000 square foot range, and, as a result, the county recently missed out on an advanced metal fabrication company.
We're down to the wire with the arrival of Christmas in just seven days! The week before Christmas, we are more apt to overspend. You may have inadvertently left someone off our Christmas list or you didn't expect the cost of making your great aunt's divinity to be quite so high. (Pecans are expensive, y'all!)
A fight between a woman and her baby's daddy led to his arrest and her with a bite on her hand.
A fight over a buggy at the Dollar Tree led to an arrest Friday evening.
The young Newton County duo Samuel & Caleb look like they're starting to fall into a rhythm.

The RSPB Investigations team assists the statutory agencies to investigate crimes against wild birds in the UK.
Staff are based at the UK headquarters, Scottish headquarters and the Northern England Regional Office.
This blog will be used to keep you informed on key issues and court case results on a regular basis, but for legal reasons, we may only be able to report on certain aspects of our work.
If you witness a crime against a wild bird and wish to report this to the RSPB, please e-mail: email@example.com or use the online form at: http://www.rspb.org.uk/reportacrime
What value you would put on a fantastic bird like a white-tailed eagle?
I suspect many would simply say priceless. At the other extreme, a few misguided individuals may be all too eager to see these birds, and other similar species, removed off the face of our landscape. I believe most people can appreciate the importance of protecting our environment, whether it be for the food, water, air and resources it provides, or purely for its aesthetic and intrinsic value and benefits for wildlife tourism and employment.
However, putting a financial value on a free living animal or a piece of habitat would appear to be no easy thing. However, in Finland it appears they have started to look at the value of the environment to society and introduced a form of environmental compensation legislation. So the value of white-tailed eagle has been assessed as worth 6,400 euros. Consequently the killing of this bird, or taking of its eggs, could make an individual liable to compensate society for the damage caused. I am not entirely convinced about assigning values in this manner, but I suspect it certainly focuses the mind of some people about the environmental crimes they may be considering to commit.
In 2009, I assisted the UK authorities with the start of an egg collecting enquiry that revealed a whole network of people involved in the illegal trading of birds' eggs. Some of these were egg thieves themselves, others happy to build their own collections from the criminal endeavours of such people. Two men were convicted in the UK, both receiving suspended jail sentences. The trading web, spread through the internet, reached to the US, Australia and also a little closer to home in Sweden. Following information from the UK authorities, over 6,000 birds' eggs were seized and in January 2014 three men in Sweden were sentenced for their part in this strange network of criminals. One received a jail term of a year, the others substantial fines - see here.
The Swedish authorities were assisted by experienced ornithologists, in the same way RSPB have long assisted the UK authorities. Their knowledge helped bring a further individual in Finland in to the limelight and this led to another seizure of over 9000 birds' eggs. The Finnish authorities were supported in their enquiries by the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit.
Birds ' eggs and other items seized in Finland in the autumn of 2011
So after another long investigation and trial, on 20 February 2015 a Finnish man was convicted on charges relating to over 5,000 eggs. He too received a jail term of a year. However, it was the environmental compensation penalty of an eye-watering 250,000 euros that took centre stage. Apparently the prosecutor had asked for over twice this sum. As a business man, the defendant presumably has the assets to cover this, however it is perhaps no surprise he has since appealed. Whatever, the merits of the Finnish approach, I believe there is no doubt that there is a need in all societies to find some mechanism to impress upon those committing environmental damage that their actions will not be tolerated and they will be held accountable.
Here in the UK there are huge areas of the uplands, where, due to the selfish hands of a relative few, the landscape remains deprived of viable populations of some of our most spectacular and iconic birds of prey. Catching a few of the responsible individuals every year, usually local gamekeepers, with the typical outcome of a modest fine has, it seems, for decades done little to affect the mindset of their often wealthy employers.
However, in January this year Aberdeenshire gamekeeper George Mutch became the first person to receive actual custody for crimes against birds of prey. A tragedy for him as an individual, but this is something that has unfortunately been coming as the catalogue of incidents has continued and public outcry has increased. The managers and employers within the shooting industry who have been involved with these crimes appear to have ignored the signs; perhaps the chances of being held personally accountable were considered so low and they were aware that it was far more likely a member of staff would be the one to take the fall. This conviction may at least last start to focus the minds of some individuals who have until now felt relatively secure behind the financial resources and status of their employers. Perhaps some may start to question what their paymasters would ask of them. I struggle to believe loyalty extends as far as a jail cell.
I suspect even more relevant is that a month earlier in December 2014, Scotland saw the first conviction for an employer being held vicariously liable for a member of his staff who committed crimes against raptors. It has been disappointing that there seems to be a distinct lack of appetite to bring in comparable legislation in other parts of the UK. The incident also led to the landowner losing around £66,000 of agricultural subsidies, far more than any financial penalty likely to be imposed by a court. Like many, I hope these parallel landmark events will now start to usher in a new era of accountability across the Scottish countryside. The RSPB also believe a registration process for driven grouse shooting, where the most serious problems lie, should also be considered. This could mean that crimes against raptors leading to the loss of the ability to run a shooting business for certain periods. Such an approach to focus the minds of errant sporting estates would help build on the recent momentum and promote good practice and responsibility.
Ultimately, only time will tell whether the priceless shadow of the eagle will fall more frequently across our land.
On the 1 October 2014, at Norwich Magistrates Court, Allen Lambert, a gamekeeper formerly on the Stody Estate in Norfolk, was found guilty of two charges relating to the killing of 10 buzzards and a sparrowhawk and possession of pesticides and other items to prepare poisoned baits. He had earlier pleaded guilty to five charges relating to the possession of nine dead buzzards, possession and use of banned pesticides (mevinphos and aldicarb) and breach of a firearms certificate. This was a really good team effort with Norfolk Constabulary supported by Natural England, HSE, Fera, NWCU, CPS, RSPB, RSPCA, BTO and local ornithologist Richard Porter..
Today he was sentenced for those crimes. He received 10 weeks jail (suspended for a year) for poisoning 10 buzzards and a sparrowhawk and 6 weeks jail (also suspended for a year) for possessing 9 dead buzzards and firearms offences. Lambert was ordered to pay £930 costs and a victim surcharge of £80. In sentencing, the District Judge Peter Veits criticised the running of shooting estates. He said, "Those who employ gamekeepers have a strict duty to know what is being done in their name and on their property. They also have a duty to ensure that their gamekeepers are properly trained and capable of keeping abreast of the complex laws relating to the use of poisons. "In other industries, employers as well as the employee could be facing prosecution in such cases and I hope therefore that this case can serve as a wakeup call to all who run estates as to their duties." He added, "It is clear that the buzzard population in Norfolk is increasing and this is something to be applauded and not seen an inconvenience by those who choose to run shoots."
The case came to light in April 2013. Every year the RSPB receive hundreds of reports from the public about possible crimes against wild birds. Assessing these is not always easy and some well intentioned reports, such as a pile of dead raptors, turn out to be something quite innocent, like a pile of lawfully shot pheasants. However, on the 3 April 2013 a report of some 'dead buzzards' in a wood on the Stody Estate, near Holt in Norfolk sounded worth following up. On the following bitterly cold morning I left home just after 6.00 am and drove to Norfolk.
Dead raptors found on the Stody Estate, Norfolk in April 2013 (G Shorrock RSPB)
I went to a wood on the Stody estate and discovered the corpses of four buzzards, a sparrowhawk and a tawny owl. All but one appeared to have been left at one spot and things were looking very suspicious. It was clear pheasant rearing was taking place in the area. I collected all the carcases, carefully bagging and labeling them. My next stop was the at RSPCA centre at East Winch. I was very lucky that the staff were able to squeeze my unannounced visit into their busy schedule. Their x-rays showed no obvious signs of the birds being shot. However, one of the fresher buzzard carcases clearly had food in it crop. Birds don't normally die in the middle of a meal! I was immediately concerned that illegal poisoning may be involved.

I contacted Dr Ed Blane at Natural England (NE). NE are involved with the HSE Wildlife Incident Investigation Scheme which is set up to assess whether wild animals, pets and beneficial insects have been poisoned. This can range from the improper use of legal products through to the deliberate and indiscriminate placing of poison baits in the open countryside. Ed, with years of experience in this area, leapt into action and quickly contacted Norfolk Constabulary to arrange a follow up search on the Stody estate. In these sorts of case, there is often considerable benefit in prompt action and sometimes cases languish far too long without any meaningful action. I had a mad dash to drop off the corpses at the post-mortem laboratory in Bury St Edmunds then back up to Holt Police station where Ed had a small posse of eager police officers already assembled and briefed. Local enquiries had established that gamekeeper Charles Lambert was the gamekeeper on the Stody Estate.
On arrival at Lambert's home near Hunworth, he was not home, but arrived in his Landrover a few minutes later. The police and Natural England carefully outlined the process of the search that would take place. In his Landrover we soon found a small pesticide container. Ed, as usual, was suspicious and tipped out a small quantity for examination. It certainly wasn't what it said on the tin, and we both immediately thought we had hit the jackpot as the product looked like a banned product which contained the highly toxic pesticide aldicarb. This was confirmed by later analysis by the government Fera laboratory. This agricultural product was withdrawn in 2007, though continues to feature in a number of wildlife poisoning cases. We also found between the front seats, and immediately to hand, a metal container of Phosdrin. This highly toxic insecticide contains the active ingredient mevinphos. This substance was banned way back in 1993 and was historically regularly abused for poisoning wildlife. Nearly two decades on, and despite government funded schemes to encourage the handing over of such unapproved products, this substance still turns up nearly every year in wildlife poisoning cases. We found two further containers of Phosdrin in his unlocked garage. Particularly significant was the presence of a syringe and a number of needles with one container; in the trade this is known as a 'poisoner's kit' and typically used to inject a pesticide into a suitable bait such as eggs or carrion.

However, without doubt the most shocking find was the contents of a plastic bag on top of Lambert's quad bike parked next to his Landrover. A quick peek inside was enough to know this was significant. So with the video camera rolling, Ed carefully emptied the contents onto polythene sheeting laid out on the ground. In total, the pitiful corpses of nine buzzards were laid out in a row. In all my years I had never seen anything like this, and was fully expecting the result that came back from the laboratory. All nine birds had been poisoned and tested positive for the banned pesticide mevinphos. I suspect these birds had been poisoned on the estate and cleared up by Lambert. The Fera laboratory also confirmed that at least one buzzard and one sparrowhawk I had picked up from the wood that morning also had been poisoned by mevinphos. The forensic work done by Fera toxicologists , quietly tucked away in a laboratory near York, is absolutely essential and their rigorous attention to detail is the bedrock of all wildlife poisoning convictions and it is vital the government continue to support this work.
RSPB Investigations Officer with nine illegally poisoned buzzards found at Lambert's home (E Blane NE)
Mr Lambert was interviewed and whilst admitting possession of the pesticides and the occasional illegal use for 'a tricky fox' or wasps, he denied poisoning any of the birds of prey we had recovered that day. My day finally finished at 04.15 am, some 22 hours since I had left home. A police Sergeant kindly lent me some blankets. In the old days I could probably have used an empty cell, however modern police stations don't really cater for guests. So I grabbed a couple of hours under a desk in an empty office until some rather bemused cleaning staff found me. As I returned home the following morning I reflected on a comment that Lambert had made during his interview when he suggested that 9 out of 10 gamekeepers in Norfolk would have Phosdrin (mevinphos) in their shed. Whilst I have no doubt this was a clear exaggeration, what is abundantly clear is that far too many gamekeepers, on far too many shooting estates, are still illegally keeping and using these sorts of products. It has been illegal to place poisoned baits in the countryside for just over 100 years, but the shooting industry has not really shown much signs of getting its house in order.
The RSPB Birdcrime report for 2013 came out last week with the usual depressing catalogue of illegally poisoned, shot and trapped raptors. These are of course only the reported incidents, forming the tip of an undoubtedly very large iceberg. As usual it was not well received by parts of the shooting industry, who would no doubt prefer such information to be swept under the carpet. I believe it would be far more helpful if they expended their energies in trying to clean up the problems within their own industry. What about the enthusiastic fresh faced 16 years old trainee gamekeeper who arrives on an estate, simply wanting to do his job, and then placed in an impossible position where he feels he has no choice but to break the law or have no future employment? It is these people, at the start of what could be a very long career, who need to be set the right example and allowed to go about their lawful work.
What Mr Lambert did was undoubtedly bad, but I believe he, and many others, are simply the product of an industry that has failed to give our wildlife and countryside the respect it deserves. How long do we have to suffer these antiquated, dangerous and inexcusable practices in our countryside? Another 100 years?
The start of 2012 saw the introduction of vicarious liability in Scotland in an attempt to try to make managers and employers more accountable for the actions of their staff. Whilst far too early to know if this will be effective, it is a step in the right direction. Disappointingly, the government have failed to show any enthusiasm for bringing in similar legislation outside Scotland. We have seen the hen harrier become nearly extinct as a breeding species in England, despite habitat for over 300 pairs. Golden eagles, red kites and peregrines are still significantly affected by illegal persecution. What I would really like to know is just how bad do things have to get before the government will actually start standing up for nature. When will they start to create a climate, using suitable legislative and financial pressure, to make errant sporting estates start getting into line and really start making raptor persecution a thing of the past.
Unfortunately, despite the insightful comments of the judge, I suspect we still have a very long way to go, and the deaths of many more raptors and other protected wildlife, before we turn a meaningful corner.

Today an English egg collector, Jan Frederick Ross formerly of Bury, Greater Manchester, was convicted in a Bulgarian court for egg collecting offences.
We first dealt with Mr Ross back in 1998 shortly after the start of his egg collecting career. A search warrant at his home in Bury found several recently taken eggs including clutches of osprey, red kite, peregrine and also Slavonian grebe from the RSPB Loch Ruthven reserve. He was later fined £4800 for a number of offences.
Despite this ongoing investigation, this seemed no deterrent and he teamed up with another local egg collector and focused his sights on the white-tailed eagle. In November 1998 our RSPB warden was in a local pub on the island of Mull, Scotland when Mr Ross and his new friend starting asking questions about eagles and claiming to be doing research for a BBC documentary. Two white-tailed eagle nests had been robbed earlier that year and the locals were understandably not happy and on high alert. So these rather dubious looking English characters quickly came to our attention. I visited both men with the police a short while later at their homes and they were advised about leaving the Mull eagles alone. However, in March 1999 they were caught on Mull near a white-tailed eagle nest with a small arsenal of egg collecting equipment. They were fined just £750 each. There was not much more the court could do with them despite the seriousness of the crime they were trying to commit. The lack of custodial sentences at that time meant that fines were still seen as an occupational hazard for many egg thieves.
In 2003, Ross and his associate were caught in Scotland yet again, this time with a number of recently taken birds' eggs carefully hidden in a compartment under the bonnet. They were both fined over a £1,000 and probably only escaped jail because the option of custodial sentences did not arrive in Scotland until 2004.
After this things seemed to go quiet. So had Mr Ross learned his lesson? Based on the information we received in 2008 it would appear not. We were informed Mr Ross was now living in Burgas, on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria and up to his old tricks. It was likely the authorities had no knowledge of this strange crime so he could no doubt plunder the Bulgarian countryside with little fear of being caught. With the help of the UK National Wildlife Crime Unit an intelligence report was sent to the Bulgarian authorities. But, with wildlife crime not really on the agenda in Bulgaria, it was not surprising that no investigation was ever started.
The imperial eagle is under threat in Bulgaria (Daniele Occhiato)
Fortunately, around this time the RSPB were working with the Bulgarian BirdLife partner, BSPB, on an EU LIFE project, 'Save the Raptors', looking at the conservation of saker falcon and imperial eagle in Bulgaria. I had been asked to assist with improving capacity building within the Bulgarian statutory authorities to tackle wildlife crime. Fortunately BSPB had a good contact with a senior police officer in Bourgas who took the matter seriously. These sorts of enquiries were unknown in Bulgaria and presented significant problems. However, following my visits to Bulgaria, a reciprocal visit by Bulgarian officials to a UK National Wildlife Crime conference, and assisted by plenty of Skype calls, we started to make some progress.
Finally in December 2011, I was present with the Burgas Police and a BSPB colleague, when the home of Mr Ross, a modern seafront apartment, was finally raided. Several police officers in leather jackets, looking a bit more like ex-KGB, raiding a flat in eastern Bulgaria looking for birds' eggs was a bit surreal to say the least. Despite having not seen each other for over ten years, and the fact I was 'some distance' from my office, he recognised me immediately. After an initial slightly frosty reception he soon warmed and later chatted openly about his new life in Bulgaria and his 'interests' in birds and their eggs.

In a small study we found just 16 birds' eggs, all taken in 2011, which included the egg of a griffon vulture, a species given additional legal protection in Bulgaria (other eggs were six collared pratincole, five ortolan bunting and four blackcap). There was also a selection of egg collecting equipment.
Collared pratincole eggs and other items seized by the Bulgarian Police (G Shorrock RSPB)
However, the real prize lay tucked away behind some artwork on the lounge wall. Diaries and CD's of photograph soon exposed exactly what he had been up to since he moved to Bulgaria in 2004.
These records came as something of a shock to BSPB. He had taken over a thousand eggs during his time in Bulgaria. It was the eggs of a number of very rare breeding birds that caused particular concern. In addition to the griffon vulture, the records indicated he had taken a clutch of the globally endangered Egyptian vulture. This species has had a significant global decline in the last 20 years and the population in Bulgaria has now dropped to less than 30 pairs. Despite the ongoing work on imperial eagles, and efforts to guard some of the nests, it appeared Mr Ross had helped himself to three clutches.
Back at the police station, as the records were revealed, there was an understandable amount of swearing from my BSPB colleague. Swearing sounds so much better with a Bulgarian accent. As a seasoned veteran of many egg collecting enquiries, I tried to calm the situation and professionally explained we had to look more dispassionately at the situation and treat this information just as evidence. A short while later I came across the records of clutches that had been taken in the UK until 2004, since his first collection had been taken off him in 1998. Amongst an extensive haul listed as taken were five clutches of each of osprey,red kite and golden eagle, and most shockingly, two clutches of white-tailed eagle eggs from Scotland. The Bulgarians were then treated to some rather non-dispassionate English swearing!
It seemed very likely a large collection of UK and Bulgarian eggs was stashed away somewhere nearby. However, with his involvement in property management, he had plenty of options available and we are still none the wiser where these may be hidden.
Dimitar Gradinarov (BSPB) speaks with the media about the first egg collecting case in Bulgaria (G Shorrock RSPB)
The case attracted widespread media interest in Bulgaria, appearing on the front page of one of the main newspapers, plus plenty of interest back home in the UK. I am not quite sure of what the local police made of a couple of TV crews turning up at the police station to film birds' eggs. Having spent some time back home trawling through the evidence, I returned to Bulgaria in April 2012 to make some field enquiries and work with a Bulgarian TV crew on the case.
The beautiful Rhodope mountains in Bulgaria - home to griffon and Egyptian vultures (G Shorrock RSPB)
We wanted to locate some of the sites Mr Ross had raided to demonstrate the accuracy and true nature of his records. We travelled to the beautiful Rhodope mountains in south-east Bulgaria. Using his records and photographs we located the crags from where Mr Ross had taken his griffon vulture egg in 2011. It was a fairly remote spot and it took us some while scrambling around rocky terrain before we were able to precisely match his photograph of the nest ledge with the exact location. We were also fortunate to visit a nearby vulture feeding station and had tremendous views of vultures squabbling over a carcase.

We later located one of the imperial eagle nest sites raided by Ross and most interestingly an Egyptian vulture site near the town of Provadia in north-east Bulgaria. An old cave monastery in the cliffs high above the town had been made into a minor tourist site with a bridge across a small gorge. When a pair of Egyptian vultures started nesting the bridge was closed and iron mesh put over the entrance hole to allow the birds to nest in peace. The diaries of Mr Ross described in detail how he had come to the site one evening in 2010 with his young son. Using a crowbar he had managed to break one of the welds and make enough room for his young son to wriggle inside and take the two eggs for his father.

The broken weld was present exactly as described, and, with somewhat more difficultly than his young son, I was just about able to wriggle through the gap myself. I visited the open sided cave, now eerily quiet with the remnants of the old nest on the floor. Being able to match parts of his diaries to the situation on the ground so accurately, showed these were genuine egg collecting records and not some work of fiction.

Unfortunately, unlike in the UK it appeared that without possession of the actual eggs taken before 2011, that no charges could be made for taking eggs based solely on the detailed diaries. I asked the police what would happen if I admitted killing my wife in Bulgaria but hiding the body somewhere it could never be found. I was told I could not be charged with that either!
The UK legal system can be a bit tortuous at times but in Bulgaria things seem particularly difficult. It was very difficult to get any information about what the Bulgarian prosecutors were up to and it was unfortunately my impression they were less than keen to be dealing with this strange enquiry. After a series of long delays and apparent stalling, RSPB wrote strong letters of concern to the regional prosecutor and the Prosecutor's Office in Sofia emphasizing the conservation importance of the case and the international media interest. Whilst we had no reply to either, this seemed to do the trick and finally the matter proceeded to court nearly three years since the raid on his apartment.
It appears his three previous convictions in the UK could not be taken into account. However, today he received a jail sentence of six months suspended for three years and a fine of around £2000. We are informed for a first conviction of such an unusual crime this is a good result. So Mr Ross is well and truly on the radar in Bulgaria. Whether he continues to add to his collection, and potentially risk time in a Bulgarian jail, only time will tell. The RSPB would like to place on record the tremendous help from BSPB and the Burgas Police during this investigation.

Life is good
Life is good... I love New England in the warmer seasons, exploring Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Newport, or anywhere on the water, taking in the fresh air and sunshine. I studied in England in undergrad and spent summers exploring Europe. I love traveling and I'm thinking a foodie tour of Italy would be an excellent next trip! I have a great job where I get to put together amazing events and I've accomplished a lot the last several years. Highlights were a fantastic evening with the filmmaker Ken Burns and another with historian Doris Kearns Goodwin (see photo) last year. I went back to school for my Masters a few years ago, finding myself drawn to business. I loved every minute of my MBA, which I finished this past fall. However, it threw off my work-life balance much more in the direction of work ... but now that it's wrapped up, here I am on Match, looking for a special man to enjoy the life part of life with :) A few other background facts ... I'm originally from western New York just on the Canadian border outside of the Buffalo area. My parents still live out there in the house I grew up in, and my sister, brother, adorable niece and nephew all are there too. I'm a bit of a foodie, enjoying good food out -- and I love cooking special meals in. I like doing all kinds of activities around the city, from the MFA, to Sox games, to the symphony, to concerts at the pavilion on the seaport. I got the most adorable new puppy in December, who I'm head over heels for. I'm looking for a man with common values and some common interests. What matters most is he has a good heart, we have good chemistry and love spending time together, and we're both looking to find someone special to partner with longterm. Love to hear from you in a message and to meet up to see if there's a connection in person. Kelly

Drink between: 2011 - 2017 (Add My Dates)
Really nicely done. Bob nailed it, tart black fruits, ash, peppery finish with just a hint of herb. Really light on the palate, making it a great sipper. Just a bit of alcohol showing but I'm being picky. Tannins well concealed, just a touch of grip on the finish. Absolutely solid value play and as with all Novy/Siduri wines, not even a sniff of spoof.
Expressive nose of black fruits, ash and pepper. Medium body, bright blackberry, plum, smoke ash and pepper. medium plus finish.
2009 Novy Syrahs: Blindtasting with Adam Lee (Tom's House, Palo Alto, CA): Nose started strange, unlike any other in the group, sweet and grapey, but it improved a little with air. Light to medium bodied with fresh red and black fruit. Very nice. (my 5th, group's 3rd)

I'm using a local copy of the Geonames database, including the country-info data. My custom .NET application needs to validate the Postal/Zip codes that users input. The validation needs to be done locally and can not use the Geonames web services that are available. This is a requirement of my application. I'm hoping you can help me figure out how to do this.
Inside of the Geonames Country Info database there is a field that includes the regular expression to validate the Country/Zip code for the corresponding country. Here are the regular expressions that are contained in the data for both Canada and the USA:
Regexs in the Geonames database:
Canada: ^([a-zA-Z]d[a-zA-Z]d[a-zA-Z]d)$
USA: ^(d{9})$
In my application, once the validation is done I first identify the country that is selected and then I look up the valid postal code regex for the specific country. I then use the following .NET/C# code to test for a match:
bool testResult = Regex.IsMatch(postalCode, geonamesRegexForCountry);
When I enter valid sample data for the postal/zip codes, the regular expression match test always fails. Here are some valid values:
Postal Code: L5R3K6
Postal Code: L8M1L5

The tests are always failing. Any idea why? Does the Geonames database use a different "regular expression syntax" than the .NET
Regex.Match() function uses? Any suggestions on how to proceed from here?
I need to validate the postal/zip codes for all countries - not just Canada and the USA, so I'm really hoping I can leverage the wealth of content existing in the Geonames database!
Thanks for all of your help!

OMG this was really good! I used almond extract because I couldn't find pecan liqueur, so it kinda turned into and Almond Pecan cheesecake, but it was still awesome. I liked it so much with the ...
Good but too much liqueur, it tasted too strongly of just the liqueur and not the cheesecake.
This needs to be baked 2-3 days in advance to let the liquer flavor mellow out. The first time I followed the recipe exactly and it was good, but I just had to make a few changes the second tim...

Who will bring order to the cord-cutter's chaos?
Some company will step up and provide cord cutters with organizational relief. The obvious best hope would be Apple, which is rumored to be readying a long-awaited update to its Apple TV hardware this summer. But in March, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was working on a subscription service that would offer cable-like bundles of channels for between $30-$40 a month. This sounds like a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss". [Read More]

Apple TV gets its top billing, adds Red Bull branded channel

Cable's Catch 22: Watch our shows via the Net, but cable is required
There's a Catch 22 here. The Disney and ESPN apps, and others like them, allow you to watch content from these providers independent of cable or satellite TV connections. But in order to access them you still need a cable or satellite TV account. It's a false convenience – why would you watch the Disney Channel or ESPN on Apple TV if you can watch it through your normal cable service? [Read More]
Cord-cutting with an Apple TV
When Apple launched its second-generation streaming video device, the company touted a feature called AirPlay that allowed users to send video and audio to a TV wirelessly from an iPhone or iPod. Initially, I wasn't that impressed – it seemed like an expensive way to watch smartphone video or share photos in the family room. […] [Read More]

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaCyte, Inc., a leading regenerative medicine company developing a transformative cell therapy for treatment of diabetes, announced today that it has received a $10.1 million Strategic Partnership Award from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121026/LA00871LOGO-a)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121026/LA00871LOGO-b)
ViaCyte's innovative stem cell-based therapy for diabetes has been supported by several previous rounds of funding from CIRM, including a $20 million Disease Team Award in 2009. This support has directly aided the development of VC-01, a regenerative medicine, combination product consisting of pancreatic beta cell progenitors encapsulated in a durable macroencapsulation device. When implanted under the skin of a patient with diabetes, VC-01 is expected to produce insulin and other factors which should safely and effectively control their disease. In its review of ViaCyte's application, CIRM's Grants Working Group characterized the Company's proposed therapy as the "holy grail" of diabetes treatments.
ViaCyte recently held a successful Pre-IND meeting with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is on track to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) Application and initiate clinical evaluation of VC-01 in 2014. The Strategic Partnership Award from CIRM will be used to support these efforts, reflecting CIRM's commitment to following promising science through the progressive stages of product development.
"We are very grateful for the assistance that we are receiving from CIRM to advance our promising technology", stated Dr. Paul Laikind, President and CEO of ViaCyte. "Today's grant allows us to conti

Why the Cleveland Browns Need to Stay The Course Regardless of Investigation
With the 2015 NFL Draft quickly approaching, the distractions and noise surrounding...
Last year with a healthy Braxton Miller in the lineup, the Cal Bears gave the Ohio State Buckeyes all they could handle, falling just short of upsetting the eventual undefeated team. This season, with Miller's game status in question for the Buckeyes' trip to California, Ohio State will need to put the Bears away much earlier if they hope to leave the west coast undefeated.
It was then sophomore running back Brendan Bigelow who single-handedly kept the Bears close, as the speedster from Fresno ripped off touchdown runs of 81 and 59 yards against the vaunted Buckeyes defense. He finished the day with four rushes for 160 yards and two touchdowns, proving to be a dynamic threat for the Cal offense. While he has yet to make an impact this season (33 carries for 136 yards and zero touchdowns), do not be surprised if Bigelow attempts to gash the Buckeyes again on Saturday.
After defeating Cal last season on a late 72-yard touchdown pass from Miller to Devin Smith, the Buckeyes may have to rely on senior captain Kenny Guiton to get the job done on Saturday night. With Miller questionable due to an MCL sprain suffered last week against San Diego State, the long-time Ohio State backup finally got his chance to shine in relief last week. Guiton completed 19-of-28 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another 83 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
If Cal's first two games are any indication of what is in store for the Buckeyes, Guiton or Miller will have plenty of opportunities to throw and run the ball. In their loss to Northwestern, the Wildcats racked up 299 yards through the air and 209 yards on the ground. Cal lost that game 44-30 against their Big Ten foe.
One thing the Buckeyes should be very concerned about is the arm of Cal freshman quarterback Jared Goff. Goff has put up some gaudy numbers in his first two games of the season, completing 39-of-64 passes for 450 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions against Northwestern and then throwing for another 485 yards and two touchdowns last week against Portland State. With the Buckeyes defense looking soft their first two weeks against the pass, Goff could potentially have a field day with the Buckeyes secondary.
Cal's passing attack is actually first in the NCAA coming into this game, checking in at an average of 472.5 yards per game. The Buckeyes gave up 216 yards and a touchdown through the air to San Diego State and another 185 yards and two touchdowns in their opener against Buffalo. What worries this writer is that both of these teams were a much lower level of competition, and with Goff throwing the ball around the yard in front of his home crowd, the Buckeyes are going to be in store for a passing attack they have not seen in quite some time.
While the secondary has to step it up and defend the pass, the Buckeyes talented front seven is going to have to get their act together as well. Through two games, the defense has notched just four sacks. Defensive end Noah Spence has 1.5 of those, Michael Bennett has .5 and Jamal Marcus and Steve Miller each have one a piece. That means the linebacking unit featuring big-time playmaker Ryan Shazier needs to final make an impact this week. Shazier is second on the team in tackles for a loss with two (behind Spence), but it is time to let the speedy linebacker utilize his talents and get to the quarterback.
Many people think this is going to be an easy task for the Buckeyes, but Big Ten teams usually do not fare well when traveling to the west coast. If Ohio State wants to return home 3-0, they will need to dial up the pass rush, lock up the receivers on the outside and control the tempo of this game on offense with their running—yes spread offense fans, I said running—attack of Jordan Hall and true freshman Dontre Wilson.
Prediction: Ohio State 45 – Cal 28

Government investigating electric Ford Focus
The government is investigating allegations that the electric version of the Ford Focus can stall without warning.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has gotten 12 complaints from drivers of Focus Electrics from the 2012 and 2013 model years.
None of the incidents resulted in an accident or injury, but six of the drivers said their vehicles shut down when they were driving 30 mph or more.
NHTSA says all of the incidents have occurred within the past five months.
Ford has sold more than 1,900 Focus Electric small cars since the end of 2011, when they went on sale.

My pick for PAC Fall 2007. I don't have an ice cream machine but I just bought a Jack LaLanne Health Mixer (similar to Vita Mix) and it claims it can make ice cream. This was my first recipe to try out the machine. I've made it three times (halving it) and it's really good. The orange juice concentrate adds a lot of flavor. My machine did a good job, resulting in a soft sherbet texture. Thanks Feingold Mommy, for posting. Roxygirl

Liberation Through Suffering
It is very hard to extract some sort of enduring positive gain from dharma practice without taking a really thorough look at your own mind. The first step is a very close look at the nature of suffering: seeing what suffering is and getting to know our own suffering. It is through that deep intimacy with our own suffering that there is liberation.Daily Dharma for July 02, 2015
The Acknowledgment of Suffering Is a Gift
As the early Buddhist teachings freely admit, the predicament is that the cycle of birth, aging, and death is meaningless. They don't try to deny this fact and so don't ask us to be dishonest with ourselves or to close our eyes to reality. As one teacher has put it, the Buddhist recognition of the reality of suffering—so important that suffering is honored as the first noble truth—is a gift, in that it confirms our most sensitive and direct experience of things, an experience that many other traditions try to deny.Daily Dharma for July 03, 2015
American Buddhism Calls for Participation
In this historical moment when American democratic ideals of freedom, civility, pluralism, altruism, and individualism make America the most comfortable home on earth for the individual pursuit of enlightenment, it is an essential form of Buddhist practice to participate in politics, to vote, to speak out, to encourage those who agree, to reason with those who disagree. It is wisdom. It is meditation. It is compassion. It is ethics.Daily Dharma for July 04, 2015

Uprooting the Seeds of AngerWe operate under a common illusion that the things that make us angry lie outside of ourselves, that they are external to us. Something out there is in opposition to our need for safety and security; it threatens our comfort or position. We feel a need to defend our vulnerable selves. Anger limits us. But if we have the courage to look at our anger and its causes and to learn from it, we can develop an open heart—a heart of genuine compassion. More »

Participate FullyWhen we just function, just act, just work, with no idea of a "me" that is functioning or acting or working, the dharma is fully expressed, for then there is no separation. Although things are accomplished in the relative sense (cause and effect), there are no results in the absolute sense (no cause and no effect), for functioning is simply the pure expression of that which we call "it" or "thusness." This is one of the most difficult truths to grasp, much less to carry out, and it is why work practice is such an essential part of Zen training. More »

Mindful WorkLife is easy for the shameless, cunning, Corrupt, brazen, nasty, and betraying. But for one who's honest and insightful, Trying to pursue purity, it's hard. —Dhammapada 244–245 Why do so few people follow the path of mindful work? Because it's hard. The Buddha levels with us. Living a life of integrity is hard work. Following the path of spiritual growth is hard work. Awakening and staying mindful in each moment requires constant honesty. It's exhausting (though sometimes also exhilarating), but it expands through all your relations and creates a lasting legacy. The benefits of integrity and wisdom compound over time. More »
