Hey Natalie :)
When I'm in the mood to read poetry on MNFF, you're one of the authors I tend to turn to, as I know I can count on you to produce consistently high-quality poems. This one, of course, lived up to my expectations brilliantly.
I suppose the most important aspect of this poem is your characterisation of Minerva. I've not really thought about how she would have felt during the battle â" I'm generally more concerned for her students â" but I was really convinced by your interpretation. Her sharpness and wit and strength fit in so much better with the idea of her being bird-like than with the constant cat comparisons; she felt absolutely herself when you described her as an eagle.
Then there was the idea of her turning back into a witch after the Battle. I found that kind of upsetting, knowing of all the horrors she must have witnessed and understanding how flat she must feel after all of the adrenaline had worn off. It's like she came alive in the pressure and fear of battle, but afterwards, it all feels like a dream and she comes crashing back to reality. When I think of it like that, I just want to go and hug her! The line about âan ageing witchâ made me painfully aware of her frailty, her humanity, something which I find easy to forget about when seeing her from the point of view of her students. I really liked that you made me consider her from a new angle, and in so much more depth than before.
Technically, the poem was, of course, flawless. I very much liked the free structure you used; I suppose it fits with the chaos of battle, the uncertainty and fear. Within that, you used so many smaller patterns though, which I found really drew me in. I particularly liked the last stanza, with the repeated structure of âfrom ⦠to ⦠â. It made me think of how everything is starting afresh, but also somehow going back to normal with the mundane idea of âa witch with a staffâ. I thought that was a really lovely image, to see things healing, both for Minerva and for the school.
Another thing I really appreciated was the gorgeous sound of this poem. It was subtly done, I thought, helped by the non-standard structure, but when I read it aloud, I couldn't help but smile at the sound. A favourite line of mine, phonoogically, was âa flick of the wrist, a stab of the hand,â with the two different bits of assonance. And then there were things like the sort of rhyme in âfrom moth to light, / from flight to feetâ â" my inner poetry geek is delighted by little things like that!
Overall, while this poem made me really rather sad to read, I took a lot of pleasure from it, from the idea of Hogwarts being rebuilt and from how well written it was. I just wish I could make everything easier for Minerva now!
Author's Response: Heyyyy! This was one of the poems I really worked hard on. Minerva is one of my favourite characters, but I have never been able to write her. Doing it in the form of verse was even more frightening! On top of that, I was writing this for Minna, whose poetry I am a big fan of. SO THIS WAS HARD TO DO. I am thrilled to receive such a detailed study from you. Thank you for commenting on the form and the exploration of the theme. I was trying to show her humanity, as you pointed out, and do it without being maudlin or stoic. Thank you for the fab Spreview, Sophie! :)

Europe's green energy industry faces collapse, claims conservative news site
Quick Take: I believe it is important to watch the progress of renewable energy in Europe. The Europeans are more aggressive about renewable energy than the United States and many other regions of the world. But they are experiencing many problems, including the German revolt against renewables. Sure, we could ignore the lessons learned in Europe and drive over the same cliffs ourselves. Or we could study what's going on and avoid some of those pitfalls. Here is one point of view from the conservative Daily Caller website. - Jesse Berst
The renewables industries in Germany, Italy and Spain are facing huge problems.
German solar demand is in freefall. It has dropped 45% in 2014, after declining 60% in 2013. The government is cracking down on solar generation - which could cause solar demand to plummet even further. What's more, Germany plans to levy charges on solar panel owners. Households and industrial sites generating green energy would have to pay high surcharges. Currently, energy-intensive industrial sites have been exempted so they can remain internationally competitive. As a result, households and commercial establishments bear the brunt of the high energy costs.
Germany is looking for ways to reform its green energy laws to lower power prices while still meeting emissions goals.
Italy is feeling the pain to
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's left-wing government has angered solar companies by proposing a 10% cut in power prices to spur economic recovery. The move would effectively cut the subsidy to solar companies, reports Reuters. Italy subsidizes solar power through tariffs charged to consumers. These tariffs have raised energy bills and will cost Italians a projected $272 billion over the next 20 years.
Spain seeks to end green subsidies
Spain is ending subsidies for renewables that have been in place since the 1990s. The new rates are based on a "reasonable return" and are meant to rein in spiraling energy costs and an overproduction of green energy, reports Bloomberg.
Spain became a poster child for green energy production after spending $68 billion over 25 years to boost wind and solar. But subsidies spiraled out of control, costing the country more than $12 billion in 2013 alone. Last year, Spain began to dismantle its green energy subsidy system.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

1. Both affect and effect can be verbs and nouns. she has only outlined the most common uses (affect as a verb, effect as a noun.)
5. whatever the root of this mutant phrase may be, it still makes logical sense, implying that however much someone does or doesn't care about something, there is room in their heart to care even less about it. it is logically the same as saying "I could hate it more."
as lobo points out, nauseated can either be the past tense of the verb nauseate, or an adjective synonymous with nauseous.

Canadians, Europeans driving Collier County tourism, report states
The Canadians are coming – and so are the Europeans.
They're the ones who drove most of the increase in visitation that Collier County saw last month.
The county saw 9,168 visitors from Canada in February, up 66.5 percent from a year ago when there were 5,505, according a monthly report by Tampa-based Research Data Services Inc.
Meanwhile, another 22,743 tourists came from Europe last month, up more than 36 percent from the 16,676 who came in the same month last year.
The Naples area remains a bargain for Canadians and Europeans alike because of a weaker U.S. dollar.
"What we heard from all of the tour operators in Europe, just two weeks ago, when we were over there for a trade show in Berlin, is that summer bookings are well ahead of last summer. We should see some good visitation for the rest of the summer," said Jack Wert, Collier County's tourism director.
The county is seeing one of its busiest seasons in years.
In February, there was nearly a 9 percent jump in visitors staying in hotels and other vacation rentals. There were 176,300 of them, up from 161,900 in February of last year.
"These are not snowbirds...These are heads in beds, these are tourists," said Walter Klages, president of Research Data Services.
Increases were seen from all of the markets tracked in the report, except for Florida.
"The Florida market, of course, is slightly down. We are not a bargain in this period of time," Klages said.
One of the bigger increases in tourism last month came from the Midwestern states. Visitation from that area rose 13.2 percent to 37,199.
The visitors report was presented Monday at a meeting of the county's Tourist Development Council, an advisory board.
"Everyone seems to be thinking this is just pent-up demand...It's much more than that. It's really a reflection of people feeling much more secure in their jobs, in their place in the economy – and that really plays a significant role," Klages told the council.
The economic angst is fading, but people are still saving and that continues to affect their travel plans, he said.
"They are not spending their money the way they did previously," Klages said. "It's still simply a cautious economy."
Still, tourists are spending much more than they were a year ago. Spending increased to $183.1 million last month, up 15.5 percent from February of last year.
"That was welcome news – that people were spending more money in the destination – and, of course, that means all expenditures that visitors do at restaurants, shops, attractions and hotels," Wert said.
Overall, occupancy for hotels and all other vacation rentals rose 3.3 percent in February, Klages said.
Another report by Smith Travel Research Inc., a market research company headquartered in Tennessee, however, showed occupancy shrinking by 1.2 percent in the Naples market in February, while some of its closest competitors in Florida grew their business last month. That report, however, only tracks occupancy at major hotels and is more focused on the groups and meetings business so it doesn't give the complete picture, Klages said.
Research Data's report includes condominiums and private homes, which are often rented by Canadians and Europeans who are here for a longer stay. "It is a very economical way of having a traditional vacation," Klages said.
The tourist tax collections in Collier County continue to rise, reflecting the stronger visitor numbers. There's a 4 percent tax collected on all hotel rooms and other short-term rentals.
In January, a little over $1.9 million was collected in tourists taxes in the county. That was up more than 19 percent from a year ago.
During the Tourist Development Council meeting, Clark Hill, a council member and the manager of the Hilton Naples, asked Klages when hoteliers might see the average daily room rates return to what they were in 2007. Klages said he expects that to happen in the middle of 2013.
"That is the turning point," he said.
In his presentation, Klages said one of the more important trends is the increase in the number of new visitors. Of the visitors who came last month, 39.5 percent were coming for the first time and 8.6 percent of those had never been to Florida before and chose the Naples area.
"This is very impressive," Klages said.

in January.
Although BPB was never one of my favorite parades that Disney put on, I will miss it fondly. If for nothing more than to see the smile on my partner's face. He loves it. At least when we (tentativly) go back to the parks in September he'll be able to see it one last time.
I just hope that whatever "replaces" BPB will be good and not some cheap production.
Oh...Never went to one
"Pain is temporary, Film is Forever..."
I went to my first one last week.. it was pretty cool.. I only caught the last half of it though.. everyone watching was dancing around and getting into it..
I wonder what they are think of replacing it with..
DISNEYLAND: It even makes science geeks look cool!!
there replacing it with a new pixar parade, im not kidding i read it somewhere by Al or on blue sky disney. Im kind of excited because i dont really care for the block party bash and id like to see Cars' cars driving down the parade route and some incredibles fighting and some ratatouille!
That's lame. Where did you hear it?
I mean, I know there's been the rumor of it closing/moving for a while but I had never heard an actual date
BPB is a very fun high energy parade. You really can't help but move when you watch it and cheer for those CMs dancing their butts off for over 40 minutes in crazy CA heat.
I'm sad to see it go unless it's replaced by something equally awesome
While the performers deserve recognition for their hard work (they really do get into it, even in the heat), Block Party Bash is a poor excuse for a Disney parade. Incredibly tacky, a terribly grating soundtrack, and totally out of character for Pixar's films. I'll be glad to see it go.
Hopefully a proper replacement will come soon enough.
The performers in this "parade" are amazing! But I am so glad to hear that it will be gone soon!
Its never good to having something CLOSE without an Announced replacement....
Last edited by Imagineer1985; 07-07-2007 at 02:07 PM.
Wow, I *am* out of touch... I thought it had closed already. I guess I'll have to get over there to see it then. Kept meaning to, but I rarely cross the esplanade unless lunch is involved.
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe...
Am I alone in seriously disliking parades that stop and stay in place for ten minutes while the performers awkwardly try to pretend they're doing something? BPB is a good example of this. The current classic-Disney themed amalgam parade that currently runs through the park is another example. Okay, that one has some good elements to it, but it still stops. And the performers don't do much that they weren't doing while the parade was moving.
I think this was one of the key reasons why Light Magic didn't work, but then I know there was a thread recently exploring that idea.
Now the Mulan Victory Parade - that one was great. Loved it. It never stopped, had acrobats, a great soundtrack, and also belonged to the tradition of having a parade with a singular theme created just for a certain time and happening (unlike current parades, rides, and "Disney Parks" merchandise which can be mass-produced and sold or intalled in any park or shopping mall).

The performers do work really hard and I think the floats are pretty cool. And now we lose it so they can have it in Florida. That's fine with me as long as we get a parade of equal or greater value. One thing I will say is that so far Disneyland hasn't fallen into the hole of needing to take parades from other parks like they do at WDW and I hope it stays that way. To quote Gareth from the UK Office, "I don't do sloppy seconds."

The countries of the region have substantially progressed with large-scale application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to varied aspects of economic and social development: the installation of digital infrastructure, modernization of public administration, digitalization of economic processes to enhance productivity as well as the quality of education and health care, and natural disaster management. Rapid evolution turned ICTs into a real solution for the development agenda. In the effort to use ICT efficiently for development, it is important to bear in mind that these technologies are not an end in thsemselves. Should ICTs be the essential element in the approach applied by information societies to development, or should the different aspects of development rather guide the way this technological revolution is harnessed?

August 2009 Fly-and-Ride (Airventure, Rockies, UT, NV, CA, Baja and more!)
So as some of you know by now, I had a month between the end of my summer gig and the start of my final year of school.
I was going to go back to Cambridge and write an article or something, but after working 10 60-80hr weeks over the summer, I thought better of it. I also received the happy news over the summer that I would be participating as a fellow in a program at school over the next academic year that would facilitate writing an article.
So what to do? Well, I'd never ridden Baja before, I'd never seen my sister's new digs in SoCal, I'd never ridden a street bike significantly west of the continental divide, I had a CR250R calling my name in Denver, I wanted to show Pilette (aka my wife) around CO and I wanted to see the EAA Airventure show in Oshkosh.
Well those seemed like enough items to keep me entertained for a bit - on to the logistics.
I didn't have much cash to spend, but did have some saved-up tuition money that wouldn't be needed 'till Sept. I didn't have a street bike really suitable for the trip (TL is in need of repairs that I didn't have the time or garage space to do and I'm getting a bit old and arthritic for several-thousand mile sport bike tours).
So a plan was hatched. I'd buy a bike somewhere within a day's ride of Oshkosh, fly out and ride to OSH. Then on to Denver, then west, then south and finally I'd sell the bike wherever I ended up when I ran out of time and if needed, fly back to DC or Cambridge.
After much angst and a few bikes that fell though, I ended up with a 2007 Bandit 1250S in Kansas City that a fellow adv'er had listed here and on CL.
I'd also need camping gear and such. In keeping with the low-budget plan, a $30 tent was procured at Target and Pilette found an old sleeping bag from her days as a Brownie or Girlscout or something like that. Good enough. I lacked bags to carry the stuff in. Some scrounging yielded a dry bag ($5 at the local thrift store) and an old hanging bag (dusty corner of the in-laws attic). The hanging bag had d-rings and such on it and seemed well suited to strapping to a bike. The dry bag should keep the sleeping bag dry.
I'd need more luggage though - somewhere to carry clothes, laptop, camera, shoes, hydration pack etc, so I ordered up a top case and tank bag and had them shipped directly to the seller.
On July 27th I flew to KC, forked over the cash, hit up the DMV (3hrs wait :doh ) and installed my luggage and bungee-corded my gear to the pillion seat. Finally I was on my way north-east toward Oshkosh by evening.
I looked something like this as I left the seller's place.
A teaser of what's in store (never mind the missing bit in CA - gps got wonky, I had to re-set it and seem to have lost a few tracks - just fill in the coastal bit and Ortega hwy in you head).
I didn't take many pictures on the way to osh, but here's what I've got...
I went across this bridge
The new Bell Star was working just dandy in the KC heat (which wasn't actually too terrible).
The city gave way to rolling hills and farmland
And I crossed a bridge and river again.
That night I stayed with a fellow inmate and drooled over his KTM and very cool house/garage:clap:clap Major thanks for the hospitality, breakfast and great company! (post up if you'd like folks to know who you are!) :hail
need more info
The following morning I rode on to Oshkosh!
There were all manner of aircraft.
Manufactures showing off their new tundra planes
A classic Pitts Bip
A float-plane
An arctic expedition plane (might need them to drop fuel for me when I go for my overland motorcycle Antarctic record:devious).
There were planes that seemed too small to lift a single person (I've since learned that this particular plane was flown all the way from France to Oshkosh years ago, but that this year its owner/pilot had to work at Airventure, flying something slightly larger so this wee plane made the trip in the cargo hold of the owner's "other" plane - the A380).
And aircraft large enough to stand in for a crane
There were old bombers
And the Ford P51 display
There were futuristic Rutan designs, some new and made to escape this planet's atmosphere
Yep, it really flies
Some old
Not all of slick composites and built for speed, but this looks like pure fun to me
And a very nice mixture of slick composts and old-world horsepower (carbon-fiber airframe with a very old, 9 cylinder supercharged Russian radial motor).
And then there were RV's - the most popular kit-plane ever. Thousands flying and enough at Osh to take up over 5 acres of parking I was told.
If anything the 5 acres was probably an under-statement, this isn't even half of them...
This show-winning -8 is a classic in the RV world.
The Vans tent.
And a -6 in Vans AirForce Colors (like TLZ, but for these planes).
A Corvette-powered -10.
Another nice -8
A recently-completed -6 that's not yet painted.
This isn't stock :evil
And an exquisitely painted -4 (the owner/builder did it himself as I understand it).
Lets see... a few more airplanes of note
They asked me to fly this P-51 in the show for them (I wish!)
A gorgeous SNJ-5 (AKA T-6 Texan AKA T-6 Harvard) - the best part, it was for sale for a very-reasonable $175k.
Big radials are a thing of beauty :love2:
This thing made an appearance, it was definitely huge.
I'm told the A380 captain is also the owner and pilot of the tiny plane pictured earlier (the single seater with the twin two stroke single cylinder motors). Seems he flew the tiny plane all the way over from France in the past, but this year it made the hop in the cargo hold of the A380...
The Pitts Model 12 is one of my all-time favorite fun planes. It also uses the Russian M14 supercharged radial mentioned before.
And this is the world-record for the largest American flag ever flown by a sky-diver - who knew?
And this husband-wife team put on quite a show. A big radial biplane, a great story-line, a great aerobatic routine and to top it off (literally), a lady on the wing!
I left Oshkosh as the sun was setting and stayed with another fellow Advrider about a half-hour south where I enjoyed more fantastic company, quality garage-hang-out time and all around wonderful hospitality. Many thanks are in order:hail (post up!)
From there I saw a lot of this
I motored on
The scenery wasn't terrible and as would be a trend, road construction was never-ending.
It went on like this till I was about 20 minutes from the South Dakota state line. There I hit a wall of heavy, cold rain. My rain gear is old and not-so-waterproof any more and I didn't bring any heated gear or very warm clothes. I was wet, cold and not too happy. I pressed on, but didn't take pics. I got colder and colder. I couldn't stop shivering. Eventually quick bite to eat to attempt to regain some warmth. When stopped, I found a garbage bag and put that on under my jacket for a bit of extra wind protection.
Still cold, I pressed on. I rode another 65 miles or so in the rain and stopped for fuel only to find that I couldn't find my wallet anywhere:( The sun was setting, I was in the middle-of-no-where South Dakota freezing cold, in the rain with no fuel and no money at all. Not good. I was able to find the number of the McD's where I had stopped earlier and gave them a call. I was so extremely happy to hear that they had my wallet. Still, it was 70 miles away and I was very nearly out of fuel.
There were loads of bikers around though and one kind looking soul must have noticed my distressed appearance and asked if all was ok. I told my story and without prompting he gave me $5 to get me back to my wallet. I was never so happy to see $5!
With my $5 worth of fuel I turned around and rode back up the 70-miles of I90 I had just ridden down, still in cold rain. They had my wallet and it still even had the cash in it. Seems I had dropped it in the parking lot when I was donning my garbage bag and another biker found it and gave it to the cashier.
Freezing cold, I desperately needed to warm up a bit before heading back west again. With my new-found wallet I purchased a hot chocolate. I also met a dude on a Harley in the parking lot. He was very friendly, we sat together and both drank hot chocolates. He wasn't your typical butt jewelry, bike-in-the-trailer sturgis HD dude, no his Harley looked really beat and he'd just gotten off it - the only trailer involved was the one he was towing with his bike.
Turns out he was from Texas and had just ridden the Dempster in Alaska on his HD. In fact, he had 176,000 miles on his HD that he'd bought new 6 years prior! He said the thing was sort of crap and broke a lot, but that he still liked it anyway;) He had great stories of his trials and tribulations taking the heavily loaded HD though Alaska where, according to him, most folks stick with knobby tires and dual sports. Seems belt drive doesn't fair well on unpaved surfaces - he went though several and had some choice words for whoever thought belt-drive was a good idea for a motorcycle...
Refreshed from the hot chocolate and good company, I quickly dismissed thoughts I'd had of calling it a day and finding a hotel right there or tossing my tent up on the side of the road. No, I decided that I'd keep with the original plan and press on to the Badlands, I was on a mission!
I rode a bit (still raining), got fuel (still raining) and rode some more.
I put my head down, tucked onto the tank bag, wound the throttle lock up to a very respectable cruising speed and let the big 1250 propel me across the rain soaked, barren land of SD. I didn't stop except when I needed fuel and I kept those quick.
The camping spot I intended to stay at was strategically chosen. It was very remote (even for the badlands) with about 20-miles of dirt road required to reach it. There were no hookups, no electricity and no water. This all of course ment no RVs, no annoying tourists and no generators.
Luckily the rain stopped just as I got to the dirt portion. I picked my way down the dirt road in the dark on the heavily loaded bandit. The bandit actually was quite planted for a street bike in the dirt. I, somewhat to my amazement, found my campground in the dark. I wasn't able to find directions or a reliable map prior so it was a bit of a crapshoot, but I had a general idea of the area from my travels last summer in the badlands on the 919.
I found the first inviting area, parked the bandit and pitched the tent. It was a bit of a pain in the dark, but I was so relived and satisfied to have finally made it I didn't care. I slept like a rock despite having only a sleeping bag an thin tent floor between me and the rocky soil.
I awoke to coyotes making noise and some very fine scenery.
Peeking out my tent at the Bandit the next morning
The fabled target-tent
I decided to go for a hike up the bluff overlooking the campsite.
Seems Mr. Bison had a similar idea. Fellow campers said he wandered right though the middle of the campsite earlier that morning (I slept in till 6:45am as I'd had a rough day...).
I leisurely broke camp and made my way to the Blackhills, taking time to ride though the Badlands a bit more on the way.
There were probably hundreds of Bison roaming around in this remote part of the park. They seemed particularly interested in blocking my way. The large dude in the center was unimpressed with my attempts to scare him off with the horn and yelling:lol:
After about 20 minutes, the critters moved out of the way.
My Garmin and the park map didn't show a way of getting from my campsite to the road just south of the badlands that I knew would connect me to the Blackhills without bothering with the pesky slab, but I remembered the dirt road of plague-infested prairie-dog doom from my last trip and decided to try to find it from the oposit direction. Last time I was on this road there were 70mph winds and I was nearly blown off while riding the 919. This time, conditions were much better!
I rode past the rather scenic prairie lands
And the rather weird-looking "bad"lands.
And was definitely on the right track for the plague-infested-prairie-dog-road-of-doom
Pilette flew in early Friday morning. I got some odd looks and several comments while I was waiting to pick her up with the Bandit. The airport security guy said he'd never seen anyone picked up by a motorcycle.
Pilette had some flight-drama - late plane, luggage hassles etc but eventually made it with her stuff. She packed impressively well and everything fit on the bandit just fine.
Friday we rode down to Co. Springs for a "chuckwagon" dinner and Western show at the Flying W ranch. A great ride down though mountain twisties, complete with a Black Bear sighting, great food and great entertainment. There was a dude on a fiddle named Tony who was totally amazing and a fellow mensa geek:laugh I had him sign my helmet. They also had motorcycle-only parking complete with a "No Cages Allowed" sign - my kinda place:thumbup
Saturday we decided to hit Mt. Evans at some point. Pilette's first exposure to mountains Colorado style.
Pilette had initially wanted to run all the way up to Cheyenne WY to visit a Bison ranch. She'd never seen such critters other than in a zoo and was quite keen to check them out. Unfortunately we realized that we'd simply planned too much for the few days she had in CO and something had to be cut and the Bison were it.
As we were riding up the mountain on I-70 toward Mt. Evans I spotted the Buffalo overlook pulloff and pulled off. Pilette was elated to see the Bison!
The sign
Most of the Bison were on the other side of the road, but that matters little when you are packing a 300mm lens on a 1.6 crop sensor body.
Then a couple of Bison were spotted on our side of the road (shot with the standard lens I think).
The Bandit and I at the Bison pull-off.
A roadside flower
After Bison-lust was satisfied we continued on.
She was impressed with the view on the road to Mt. Evans that she had to climb around for a pic
This is the shot she got.
The road there isn't half bad.
The views only improved as we climbed further up the mountain.
Pilette and I donned warmer stuff part-way up Mt. Evans. It gets cold at 14' feet, even in the summer.
We hung out with these critters.
Pilette thought they were pretty cool.
Some decided to block traffic.
Others hung out on the bluff above the roadway.
The Bandit struck a pose
The scenery continued to get more spectacular.
The Bandit insisted on another pose
And so did I
Pilette tried the Bandit on for size
I was not to be left out
All this water
Had to go somewhere.
The scenery grew even more majestic until it seemed that even the rocks were posing for pictures.
And this little fellow as not to be left out.
Down in this meadow
Pilette spotted this fellow
And after a closer look
Found he was not alone
The world was beautiful from Pilette's point of view too.
The shadows got longer
We motored on
We went to Idaho Springs in search of food. On Wade's recommendation we hit up Beau Jo's pizza. I went for a Ham and Onion Mountain Pizza and it was almost without doubt the best non-home-made pizza I've ever had:drool: If you are within a thousand miles or so of this place, its probably worth the ride.
We enjoyed more ADV'er hospitality and stayed at B&B-ish place an adv'er hooked us up with that was an exit west of Idaho Springs. It was super cool and so was the company. We played some Nintendo, despite sucking in real life, I pretty much pwnd everyone in tennis:) Major thanks and post up! :bow :clap
Sunday we met up with Wade from TLZone and his 599-riding buddy to ride Loveland Pass. Wade put together the route and it was fantastic!
There was a turn or two in the road. The Bandit actually handled quite well, even two-up and toting enough gear for both of us for 3 days. The long, low Bandit is just pretty unaffected even with a total load of around 400lbs once adequate preload was dialed in. The motor lacked a serious top-end rush with that weight, but the torque was enough to propel us out of corners in a very respectable manner. The peg feelers were a touch shorter by the end of the day;)
Rolling into town behind Wade.
After meeting up with Wade we planned to hit up Blackhawk or Central City for lunch then we were off to a B&B/Hostel in Winter Park.
We eventually succeeded in achieving the plan, but not without drama...
We needed to go a few miles east on I-70, but traffic was really terrible. We waited around a while and both started to bake. Some creative lane selection was employed to get us to the next exit. The Zumo's (aka Jill) avoidance feature was utilized and it promised to route us to Blackhawk without any more I-70 nonsense.
We rode up the road at the next exit as instructed by Jill. Several miles of a nice twisty mountain road - all good so far. Then Jill says turn right, I didn't see any road to the right, doubled back and found that se was talking about a tiny dirt road. Not the what I wanted all loaded up. I figured it was slated to be paved and Jill never got the news that it wasn't:O
We pressed on, Jill re-routed us yet again. The next re-route was also a dirt road, no other means of connected with our intended route were shown. We decided to go for it. The road was narrow and rocky, we pressed on. The "road" got steeper, the front floated a bit on some sections. The rocks got bigger - line selection became critical, then ruts started to form. By now we are on something that's more of a full-blown ATV trail. The Bandit is pretty versatile, but a hard core off road machine it isn't. The trail got worse, we gave up and turned around.
The previous dirt road was starting to look really good, at least it was graded. We gave it a shot.
After a few miles of very steep, but graded dirt road it turned to ATV-trail two-track. We pressed on a bit further but that eventually died out, leaving us fully loaded on the bandit in the woods on a dead-end atv trail. The map showed a small road continuing but it simply didn't exist:doh
Those two roads were the only option to get where we needed to go other than I-70, so after a 3-hour off road bandit tour we were back where we started. Traffic on I-70 was a little better, but not a lot. We pressed on.
Eventually we made it to Blackhawk for dinner. The Central City Parkway and rt 119 (I think) was ultra-scenic and a very nice ride. We also appreciated the looks of Central City and Blackhawk. The food was pretty good and very cheap (gotta love Casinos), but the wait service was slow, rude and stiffed me by $3 on my change. :angry:
Pilette has wanted to try her hand at Gold Prospecting for years and now was her chance. We'd read good things about Vick's on-line and decided to give it a shot. From the road it didn't look like much, actually looked a bit sketchy, just a couple of beat-up trailers and some junk laying around. We bravely entered. We have pics, but they are on Pilette's camera. Jesse ran the place and was a very cool mountain-man of a guy. Lots of good stories. Pilette panned for gold and even found a little, though I'm sure less than the $10 they charged to try, but it was cheaper than the movies and way more entertaining.
From there we made our way to Fraiser just outside Winter Park. We'd booked a room at the Rocky Mountain Inn and Hostel. The only non-free accommodations of the trip in fact. I didn't expect too much as it was less than half the cost of anywhere else I could find in the area and there was the hostel bit in the name. As it turned out the place was fantastic. We had a huge in-suit room with a very large comfortable bed and a balcony looking out onto a scenic mountain meadow with the mountain itself as a backdrop. There were railroad tracks near-by, but the train only went by once and it wasn't late so no worries there. There was a grocery store across the street where we procured food and supplies for a low-key Pilette Birthday Celebration - cake and ice cream! It was good, we kicked back at the Inn and enjoyed ourselves and good company of some fellow travelers. I think I ate a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's - YUM!

Editorial: Our choices for clerk positions
Experience a major factor: Joy Touliatos, Regina Morrison Newman and Wayne Mashburn deserve voter consideration.
We continue our list of recommendations today in races for Shelby County trustee and three clerk positions on the Aug. 5 county general election ballot.
Juvenile Court Clerk: Republican Joy Touliatos, chief administrative officer to the retiring Juvenile Court Clerk Steve Stamson, faces Democrat Shep Wilbun in this race. We recommend JOY TOULIATOS.
Although both candidates have experience in the office, Touliatos appears to be better positioned to provide a smooth continuation of the services this office provides.
Touliatos has 15 years of experience in Shelby County government, including eight years in the Juvenile Court Clerk's Office, where she is responsible for day-to-day operations, prepares the budget, payroll and supervises purchasing and personnel functions.
Wilbun is a former Shelby County commissioner who won appointment to the Juvenile Court post in 2000 in a vote swap with Republican commissioners.
He lost the job to Stamson in 2002 after his administrative control of the office was questioned. Independent Julia Wiseman also is on the ballot.
County Trustee: We strongly recommend the election of Democrat REGINA MORRISON NEWMAN, who was appointed trustee in 2009 following the death of Paul Mattila.
Since taking over the trustee's office, Newman has proven to be a capable administrator and the office has continued to operate seamlessly.
Her background as an attorney, an assistant city treasurer, and an assistant to the state Commissioner of Revenue for Tennessee also is proving useful in her role as trustee.
Her opponents are Republican David Lenoir and Independent Derrick Bennett. But neither of them makes a compelling case for unseating Newman.
Probate Court Clerk: The Commercial Appeal makes no recommendation in this race between the relatively inexperienced Republican candidate Paul Boyd and Democrat Sondra Becton, who worked a number of years in the office but left county employment in 2006 under a cloud of suspicion.
Boyd is a Republican Party campaigner who has worked in the county trustee's office, but he has yet to demonstrate his readiness for this important administrative post.
Becton worked for many years in the Probate Court clerk's office, unsuccessfully running for clerk in 2002 and 2006, the same year she was fired as a benefits specialist in the county's finance department for allegedly using her position to obtain and distribute confidential information about a Probate office employee -- an accusation that Becton denies.
County Clerk: Republican Wayne Mashburn, who has been employed by the County Clerk's office since 2007, faces Democrat Corey Maclin, a wrestling promoter. The Commercial Appeal recommends WAYNE MASHBURN.
Mashburn, who manages the office inventory and oversees facilities maintenance, is not only best positioned to oversee a smooth transition of the administration of this office, but he is also well equipped to make changes that would create more efficiency and improve customer service.
Mashburn, the son of former County Clerk Sonny Mashburn, is the former co-owner of Film Transit, Inc., a large transportation firm, and a computer software firm that developed custom applications for health-care facilities throughout the country.
Maclin also has been the owner of his own advertising business. But he lacks of the depth of experience that Mashburn possesses for this seat.

Learn about topics ranging from recording and publishing video chats to managing your finances online.
Note: Monday Productivity Pointers is currently on a break, but stay tuned for new tutorials!
In the last video, I showed you how to import a contact list by making sure your header fields matched up. That's a great trick, but it relied heavily on one major assumption: that both the exporting from and the importing to program both separate the contact's first and last name. This is also the biggest cause of data migration headaches when dealing with contact data. You export all your contact data with two separate columns for first name and last name only to find out that the importing to field has one field called Name.
In that field is both the first and the last name together. Now what? Today I'm going to show you another great trick to combine those columns using Excel formulas. This is just a really useful formula to know how to do anyway, and you'll probably find yourself finding other uses for it also. It uses a practice called string concatenation, that is, putting together two separate pieces of text into one big block of text. So let's get started. Here's the Excel file. And here's my first name column and my last name column.
So the first thing that we need to do, if we're going to concatenate these and make one extra column, is insert a new column so that we have something to work with. So I'm going to select this column right here, then I'm going to come over to my Insert menu and choose Insert Columns. This gives me a nice blank column to work with. Now that I've inserted the column, the first thing I'm going to do is give it my new header label. In this case, Name. So let's take this row to start, cell A2, which is the person's first name.
Now, because we're going to type in a formula, we tell Excel to expect a formula by inserting the equal sign in front of our text. So now I'm going to tell Excel that I want to use whatever data is in cell A2, which in this case is the word Josephine, plus a space, because that's what comes in between a first name and a last name. And then everything that's in the contents of cell B2, which is the last name. So let's put together A2.
Excel highlights the cell in question. And to concatenate a string, we signify that by using the ampersand sign. So, so far we've got Josephine, and now we want to put a space in there. And I signify that by putting in open quotes because this is a literal string, it's a space, so it's just plain text. I'll hit the spacebar on my keyboard. I'll put a closing quotes in because that's the end of our literal text.
And now I need to finish it. We need to get her last name in there. So, I'm going to concatenate that with another ampersand sign because there's more. And this time I'm going to type B2. So, to put it all together, the equal sign tells us that Excel is expecting a formula here. So take the contents of whatever is in cell A2, and add a space and whatever is in the contents of cell B2. If I hit the return key on my keyboard, it enters in that text.
Now, here's the really neat thing. I don't have to do that for every single row that I want to import. I can highlight that cell, hit Cmd+C on my keyboard because I want to copy that formula. I'm going to scroll down for as many lines as I want to. I could do everything, but in this case just to show you, I'm just going to do a few. And I'll hit Cmd+V to paste the data. And Excel is smart enough to know, or should I say, smart enough to assume, that I want to update that information with every single row.
So, as I click my mouse through these rows, you'll notice at the top that it's updating the row itself So look how easy that was. That took about thirty seconds, and we successfully got our new columns with the first name and the last names all together. I'll just show you one more neat thing that you can do now that you know how to concatenate a string. I'm going to go ahead and put another column in. I'm going to call this one User Name. Let's just say that when we import data we need to give these people a user name, and we want to quickly get the person's first initial of their first name followed by their last name.
You can expand on this formula. I'll put my equal sign in to let Excel know that a formula is coming. And now, instead of putting in the entire first name, I only want the first letter of the first name. So I'm going to use another formula, and that's called the Left Formula; which tells Excel that I only want a certain amount of characters from the left-hand side of whatever contents is in this cell. So I'm going to type left. I'll put an open parentheses in there. I want the left of cell A2.
One character. That's going to get me the J in Josephine. I'll close the parentheses. Now I need more, so I'm going to put in that ampersand character. And now I want whatever's in cell B2. So again, equal sign to tell Excel that there's a formula coming. Whatever is the first character in cell A2 and cell B2. I'll hit the Return key. And there's my username. And again, Cmd+C to copy it. I can click and drag to select all those cells.
And Cmd+V to paste it. So you can easily see what a useful skill string concatenation is. So take this, go import your data, and now you can always specify whether or not you need to import using the first name, last name or just one field called Name, that contains a combination of both of them.

Gary Tripp, a Las Vegas native, has announced he is stepping down from his position as executive director of the New Mexico Activities Association, the organization that governs sports and a number of other extracurricular activities in high schools across the state.
Tripp, who succeeded Dan Salzwedel in March 2004, said his planned departure is effective at the conclusion of the 2011-12 school year.
When fans of West Las Vegas' football and basketball teams can't make it to their favorite teams' games, Richard Tripp and Gary Chavez are there to say, "No problem — we've got you covered."
Tripp and Chavez recently earned the New Mexico Broadcasters Association award for Sports Play by Play of the Year in recognition of their sportscasting on KNMX-AM 540 in the year 2010-11.
The NMBA announced awards last week but made them official on June 10.
Through Wednesday night, Sammi Lane remained within striking distance of a national championship in barrel racing at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyo.
Lane, a junior at New Mexico Highlands University, was in fourth place in the event standings through three rounds of competition. Only the final round remained to be played out as the weeklong CNFR nears its conclusion on Saturday.

Ladies, summer is here so get in the swing with a fun and informative golf clinic.
It's been the best of times, and it's been the worst of times, all in the same year for Marka Anne Garcia.
Garcia, who graduated from Robertson in May, swept skills competitions for Golden Arm and Golden Glove honors at the North-South softball weekend and was a most valuable player on the North squad.
Whether his uniform was Cardinal red and white or Don green and gold, Nicholas Aragon was known for giving his baseball teams a shot in the arm.
The same held true over the weekend with Aragon wearing the colors of the North All-Stars.
The recent WLV graduate hit safely in each of three games to help the North defeat the South twice and take the series.

I know that a lot of people don't like this mascara, but it's worked really well for me. The brush is a bit of a different shape from the originally Falsies, and I think it's more effective for my purposes. I love the flared look, and this does it perfectly. It does not really create a false eyelash effect, but it is volumizing, and I find this one to be less prone to clumping than the original Falsies. I also have not had problems with flaking, although I know a lot of people have. My eyelashes are naturally long, so this product does a great job of accentuating them and creating the flared effect that I like. It does smell a bit odd, but I'm used to that by now.

This is a good mascara, but since i am in middle school, I wouldn't like my lashes so sky high. It's a dry formula so it works on short or long lashes. Although it wouldn't really do anything to a guy in my class. He looks like he's wearing false lashes! Anyways I got this mascara for about $7-8 at Walmart (CAD). And that's not a bad price. I wouldn't buy this mascara again because again I don't like big lashes. For school I just like natural lashes (I recommend mega plush by Maybelline) or clear mascara. I use one from essence. It makes it look like I'm wearing black mascara but I'm not. And it's obviously looks more natural.

Best mascara ever! Makes my lashes look SOOO long and they really aren't that long at all. I don't have any complaints with this. No flaking or panda eyes, stays put all day long, great price. Highly recommend!

So far this product is pretty good, i love the length it gives but it clumps up way to much especially at the ends. I like mascara's that give you a long natural look but this product shows, it's obvious you packed on layers of mascara even if you didn't.

I absolutely loved this mascara when I first got it as it gave me great length and volume, but after what didn't seem long it started to flake horribly on me! Right after I applied it I would have to take a tissue and rub off all the little black specks of mascara and I'd be constantly paranoid and wiping under my eyes all day in case I had more flaking. It's a great mascara I just wish it lasted longer before it started to flake.

Okay so I bought this mascara on a whim because although I know no mascara will truly give me a false lash effect the name did intrigue me. The package is similar to the covergirl lashblast mascaras which in my opinion look a little cheap. The brush consists of a scooped brush presumably ment to give you the flared look but in my experience don't work any better then a straight brush. The bristles were the regular soft type which now that I have tried the hard silicone type bristled mascara I tend to steer clear of due to the fact that they aren't very good at combing out lashes, and this mascara was no exception. The first coat provided your run of the mill natural mascara look, the second coat provided a bit more volume but if your like me and put up to 3 coats of mascara of on forget it. By the 2nd coat the bristles wouldn't go through my lashes properly whether or not I waited for the mascara to dry between coats and unsightly clumping developed. I found my lashes a bit dry and as the day went on and I noticed a small amount of flaking. Unless you were a preteen trying out mascara for the first time I wouldn't recommend this mascara as it doesn't give much drama at all to my lashes. I'm still on my search for my HG mascara (Which I later found in l'oreals voluminous million lashes mascara in the waterproof version. Highly recommended.)

Couldn't get this to work for me at all. The formula was too wet when applying, so it clumped and smudged everywhere. Once it was dry it made my lashes look very spidery and stuck together, and after a few hours of wear it started flaking in my eyes. I didn't like the brush, either.

This one by far is the best mascara I have ever used, I've tried expensive to the cheap, all around they are all clumpy and don't do anything, this one has worked the best for me, instantly longer and love the angle of the brush...best of the worst I guess....as I have not found my HG mascara, until then, this one will do... :)

Pros: I love the mascara it makes my eyelashes look very full and full of volume. When I layer the mascara it does not clump at all! It layers pretty nicely and the more I layer the more I get the false lash effect. I am very lazy and always skip curling my lashes, and with this mascara I don't need to curl them because I get a curled effect. Love it!
Cons:It flakes sometimes when applying it so I have to just brush it off with my powder brush. Throughout the day I also notice some flaking. It is also not very lasting because by the end of the day, my lashes do not look as curled as they did when first applied.

This had potential. The shape of the wand separates my lashes nicely and it doesn't seem to clump much when applied. Unfortunately, after about 3-4 hours of wear, it flakes off. I end up with black specks under my eyes and it falls in my eyes, making them sting and water. It also has a noticeable smell.

Mariah Carey will be crowned a "BMI Icon" at the BMI Urban Awards on Sept. 7 in Beverly Hills, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Each year, one songwriter affiliated with the publishing rights organization is singled out as a BMI Icon for his or her "unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers."
Carey has had 18 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, tying Elvis Presley among solo acts and behind only the Beatles, whose singles made it to the top of the chart 20 times. She wrote or co-wrote most of her signature hits.
Previous honorees include James Brown, Little Richard, Al Green, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Snoop Dogg.
The award ceremony, to be held at the Saban Theatre, also recognizes other BMI songwriters whose works have made a significant impact on pop music in the previous year.

Ex-Bulls fan favorite Robinson's return bittersweet
It didn't start with the reception one would have expected for a returning hero or end the way he would have liked, but Nate Robinson's first game in Chicago since leaving the Bulls was still a fond one.
The diminutive scorer, who signed with the Nuggets as a free agent in the offseason, went scoreless in the Bulls' Friday-evening, 94-89 win over Denver at the United Center, but after the game, Robinson still had a smile on the face, as his former teammates surrounded him to deliver postgame greetings. Prior to the contest, the instant-offense ex-Bulls fan favorite and last season's playoff hero made it clear how much Chicago meant to him.
"This is something special to me, just because of the season from last year and what we did. It was a very special season, man, with a great group of guys, and I miss it. I would be lying if I said that I didn't. But the guys over there, they showed me so much love. The coaching staff, the organization, fans. I had a hell of a year, and it was a great run," he said. "We called to talk throughout the summer. I saw Jimmy (Butler) yesterday. Me and Jimmy sat down and ate dinner, talked it up. Called (Carlos Boozer), Booz bought me some cupcakes. I used to make cupcakes for the team, so he bought me some cupcakes. He said he had a surprise for me. I told him I hate surprises. But the guys are stand-up guys. I saw Joakim (Noah), Kirk (Hinrich), all those guys. (Luol Deng), Marquis (Teague), Nazr (Mohammad). I saw Naz yesterday, and it's just good to see the guys, man. They still love me as a teammate and that's good to know, and I love it."
[MORE: Bulls' comeback win over Denver ends undefeated preseason]
While he admittedly wanted to stay in Chicago, Robinson knew it was it was basically unfeasible with the return of Derrick Rose this season. Still, he cherished the experience.
"This is a business, man. Everybody knew I wanted to come back, but they had other things in mind. They signed a great shooter in (Mike) Dunleavy, they got a good rookie. They've got a great team. Plus, they've got D-Rose coming back, so why have Nate Robinson when you have D-Rose? I know that's been the talk around the league. Pooh's back healthy, looking good and he's the man, and that's how it should be," said Robinson, who could be described as an NBA journeyman. "It was great, man. Really. Even more than any other place that I've ever been. Here has been the best."
But when asked to imagine the possibilities of a backcourt that included him and Rose, Robinson couldn't help letting his mind wander: "Ooh, it would have been scary. It definitely would have been scary, but you never know. Anything can happen."
After watching Rose practice for much of last season, Robinson isn't surprised by the former league MVP's preseason success.
"No, he was that good last year. But I told D-Rose, 'Just take your time, man. Come back when you want. Don't let anybody push you into coming back when they want you to. You are (your) own investment. You know exactly when you're ready,' and it shows that he's ready now," he explained. "For me, it's fun to see because my son loves him. My son's like, 'Dad, did you see what D-Rose did?' 'Yeah son, I watch TV. Of course, we play him.' My son's birthday is tomorrow, so he's real excited. He was real excited D-Rose took a picture with him, and D-Rose is a stand-up guy, one of the best superstars that we have in this league and it's a treat just to watch him play."
[WATCH: Butler: "I have to figure out what's going on with free throws"]
No matter how Robinson is remembered as an NBA player, his legacy in Chicago is secured, as his first-round playoff performance in a triple-overtime home victory over Brooklyn was one of the most remarkable in franchise history, if not the entire league.
"For me, I was just carrying my team and the city on my back. It was a must-win game. I was just in the zone. My teammates were feeding me. The coaches, the fans gave me energy, but I couldn't do it without my teammates. They believed in me, and it just made it easier for me to go out there and have fun. I was just having fun," Robinson recounted. "All summer, everywhere I go, they say, 'Hell of a game.' Just everywhere. 'You brought a different light to the team, a lot of energy,' and a lot of fans — Twitter, Instagram, around the city. I was walking around yesterday, and I was like, 'Wow.' They were like, 'Good to have you back. We miss you,' and that's just great, to be missed and to be loved like that, and I just hope it continues."
That outing, along with the rest of his postseason, was a big reason Denver signed him, according to first-year Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw.
"Obviously being in Indiana last year we had some good battles with the Bulls. Nate hurt us in the games we played against the Bulls. But in particular, I saw the first round against the Nets in the playoffs. I thought he was probably the best player for the Bulls during that playoff series. When you have a guy like that who has proven he can score off the bench and plays with a lot of energy, excites the crowd, it was a no-brainer for us," the coach said. "I've followed him for a long time. I've known him from back when he was at University of Washington. Obviously, when he was on the Celtics, they played against us in the Finals when I was with the Lakers in 2010. I've seen him and been a fan of his. I know that he has a lot of heart and brings that with him. That endears him to the fans.
[WATCH: Thibodeau: "The moment of truth is coming"]
"He's been good. The guys on the team respect him. He hits them all the time with heart over height. They know he's had to overcome a lot of obstacles in his career because of his size. He has proven doubters wrong. He comes in every day and challenges Ty Lawson at that point guard position and just works. We're hoping our younger guys follow his lead," Shaw went on to say. "Just doing what he does, bringing energy off the bench and giving us that scoring punch as well. He actually falls into the leader category on this team. He's one of our older guys. I've had some discussions with him about he's at that point in his career where he has to lead by example as well."
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, who had crossed paths with Robinson as a Celtics assistant during the guard's stint in Boston, even cracked a smile before the game when discussing defensive strategy.
"You've got to defend him into the game. It doesn't take him much to get going. We know him well," Thibodeau said of Robinson. "He had a great year for us, did a lot of good things. He gets going, he can cause a lot of problems."
Due to his small stature, Robinson has thrived on beating the odds throughout his career, so when queried about Denver's deep guard corps — point guard Ty Lawson is entrenched, while the likes of starting shooting guard Randy Foye, experienced veteran holdover Andre Miller and second-year French swingman Evan Fournier battle for the rest of the backcourt minutes with Robinson — he responded with a quote that sums up his whole NBA existence, let alone his memorable campaign in Chicago.
"Just bring energy," he said. "Just continue to be Nate Robinson."

There was a bunch of clever things I though about putting here...but I couldn't decide, so I put this instead :)
I think I'm pretty simple, some people agree with me, some don't. I believe honesty really is the best policy, especially when it comes to really important things. I really enjoy laughing about stuff, and can generally find humor in most things. I sometimes make awkward jokes in uncomfortable situations. I'm pretty good at laughing at myself, and like to be around people who can also laugh at themselves and not take things to seriously. I can be sarcastic at times, so I hope that people don't take me too seriously, because I never or at least rarely mean to actually offend or hurt someone. I can be super serious sometimes and overly analytical but I snap out of it pretty easily with a quick joke, or someone just telling me I'm thinking too much, and to STOP! ...so it would be awesome if I met someone who could do that, without hurting my feelings :) I'm looking for someone who is comfortable with themselves, and that enjoys life, and can still enjoy it even when maybe it's not so awesome, and is open minded. I would like to have a serious relationship at some point and it would have to be with someone who could be understanding of single parent-dom, which can be a difficult balance... I am pretty easy-going most of the time, however I know myself well enough to know if something is important to me I will say something about it. I would like to meet someone who is also generally easy going, but who has opinions and is comfortable with sharing them :)

I've been to Hawaii twice, I go to Santa Cruz pretty often, I used to spend a lot of time on the central coast with family and one of my favorite places is Mono Hot Springs. When I get a chance to go out locally it's usually in the Tower District.
Musically, I go through phases, probably depending on my mood. I used to be a DVR junkie, but stopped my service. The only thing I watch regularly at this point is the Voice (can't help it, it's addicting)
I like to travel, even if it's just to the coast or the mountains for the day, or overnight. I also enjoy playing pretty much anything (sports, games, video games). Movies are good too.
The last, last thing I read was a Melaleuca catalog. The last novel I finished was Never Ending story with my son, we're now reading a book called Middleworld. Personally I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov. I'm a Tom Robbins fan.

text: Upgraded my basic HP Vista 32, intel 6600 quad. I removed the 300 watt PSU and installed a PC Power and Cooling 750 watt Silencer. Tight fit, since I have two DVD drives, but it does fit okay. I removed my low end Nividia GE Force 8400 card and installed the BFG 8800 GT OC 512. BFG tech help was very good. I followed instructions and removed the Nividia drivers by using the remove programs feature in the control panel. I shut the computer down and installed the new card. Prior to that I had downloaded the new BIOS for this particular card on the BFG site. The new BIOS, 1f.00.18, is supposed to allow for automatic fan increase up to 100%, depending on load. After start up, I double-clicked on the .exe of the BIOS and it installed. I then installed the 169.25 Nvivia drivers I had stored on a SanDIsk USB 4 gig memory. Everything seems to work fine. The card idles at 65C which is normal for this card. My case is tight, but I do have a small case fan, plus the PSU fan. I am leaving the side off right now. I scored a 11,531 on the 3DMark6 test, which puts me in the upper 90%. Would have gotten a GTS card, but did not have the room for a double slot card. Belatedly, but not too late, I removed the OC sticker on the fan hub, which was kind of loose!! Forum members have reported that it has come off and stuck in the housing. Thanks to those forum members. Fan is very quiet at normal setting. At 100%( during computer startup, it is quite noticeable)

A great Padre and a great guy
Letters to the editor on Tony Gwynn, for June 19, 2014
Rick Fulgenzi
Tucson, Ariz.
I grew up in Pittsburgh idolizing Roberto Clemente. The Navy brought me to San Diego, and I immediately became a Tony Gwynn fan.
It seems to me that SDSU should take this opportunity to offer Tony junior the job of being the baseball coach. He could ensure that SDSU preserves the Tony Gwynn tradition.
Mike McCarthy
I may be speaking from my emotions, but I think that all San Diegans, all Californians, baseball players and baseball fans throughout the country would agree me when I suggest that, as a tribute to his dad, Anthony Gwynn Jr. should be a member of the National League All-Star Game team as a representative of the San Diego Padres.
Anthony would be dressed in the 1981 Padre uniform with the number 19 and "Gwynn" on the jersey.
Think of the ovation and cheers when he is sent out to replace an outfielder mid-inning or when he comes to bat.
Think of the possibility of divine intervention if the son of Tony Gwynn where to rap a single through the 5.5 hole during the 2014 All-Star Game.
The National League commissioner could also invite Tony's widow and daughter to the game as guests of the commissioner, and Tony's daughter would sing the national anthem.
If every San Diegan in agreement with me emailed, tweeted or called the Padres and Phillies with this suggestion, it just might happen.
What a great way for San Diego and the Padres to say thank you to a man who gave this city and county great joy and pride.
Donald W. Park
On my kitchen shelf sits a signed Wheaties box along with a great photo (also signed) of Tony and me. I remember the day well in 2007. Tony and I had a good laugh together. Yes, he really was a true champion.
Richard Ybarra
San Diego
Tony Gwynn's spirit was larger than life, and should serve as a character example to all others in the public eye. His short life was a role model on and off the field. He will be deeply missed.

Tony Gwynn's legacy is sparkling save for the misperception that he died because he chewed tobacco. I assumed he had and, frankly, was upset with him for this lifestyle choice. I was oddly relieved a bit while reading the Deborah Sullivan Brennan's article ("Much unknown about uncommon cancer") on Tuesday in which she quoted Loren Mell, chief of the head and neck radiation service at the Moores Cancer Center, who said chewing tobacco was "not likely to be the cause" of Tony's parotid cancer.
So let's forever link Tony to greatness, honesty, humbleness and personality and not to poor choices. He deserves that.

The culture of baseball was certainly evident Wednesday evening at Petco Park. The outpouring of emotion for Tony Gwynn and his family was certainly touching. However, when the TV camera zoomed in on starting pitcher Andrew Cashner in the dugout in the sixth inning, there on the shelf behind him two tins of chewing tobacco were clearly visible. How soon they forget.
