Jerry Cantrell interview: Get Born Again
Jerry Cantrell interview: Get Born Again
Inez observes, "We were always the metal stepchildren of the Seattle scene. We were the heavier ones, but we put out an acoustic record, and it went to Number 1. We could get away with that kind of stuff because we were the underdog."
As the band's fame grew, so did Staley's drug addiction, which caused the other members the dual heartbreak of losing their best friend and their musical vehicle. A series of rehabs ensued, but Staley died in 2002 after injecting himself with a mixture of heroin and cocaine. Kinney says that until the day Layne died Kinney still hoped the singer would recover, and the band would gig again. "But when Layne passed away, on that day, a big part of me went away," Kinney says. "The wounds of those things, and the pain of that, kept me from barely wanting to do anything."
For the band members, one of the saddest aspects of Staley's legacy is to hear him remembered primarily for his excesses rather than the other aspects of his personality, which were present even on his worst days. Kinney says, "It was insulting the way people talked about him. People think he chose that fate, those drugs, but it's not a chosen thing. Layne was the sweetest guy, the nicest guy, and the most talented guy you would ever want to meet. He was funny. He was one of the most least-judgmental people I ever met."
Cantrell says it was Staley who gave him the self-assurance to sing. "Layne was really responsible for giving me the confidence to become more of a singer. He'd say, 'You wrote this song, this means something to you, sing it.' He kicked my ass out of the nest. Over the years I continued to grow, and Layne started to play guitar, and we inspired each other."
When Alice went on hiatus after 1995, Cantrell eventually started a solo career, and he'd put out two albums by the time Staley died. Yet that loss was enough to derail all the members for some time from doing much of anything. It wasn't until a 2005 Seattle benefit for tsunami relief that the three surviving members of Alice played together again. For that show, they used a handful of singers, including Heart's Ann Wilson. The night went well, and the chemistry between the three was strong enough that labels expressed interest in a new album. They weren't ready yet, and another year would pass before they played together again.
By then Cantrell had moved from Seattle to Los Angeles, seeking warmth for what he calls his "old lizard brain." He jokes that his move to L.A. came right as he cleaned up, and that now he's "a reformed bad guy living in the belly of the beast. It's like the ex-gambler who decided to live in Las Vegas." The new setting proved fruitful to his work, and his new zip code inspired "Check My Brain," the first single off the new album. The tongue-in-cheek song pairs a poppy chorus against what Cantrell calls his "droney seasick" guitar.
It was in L.A. that Cantrell met and befriended William DuVall, of Comes with the Fall. Eventually, Cantrell, Inez and Kinney invited DuVall to join Cantrell on vocals. Inez says, "When he first started, I explained to William that he was going to have the hardest job. He's not trying to replace Layne at all, but I still can't think of a harder job for a singer, singing 'Man in the Box' in front of 125,000 people."
So far DuVall has succeeded because he and Cantrell harmonize well together and because he's been conscious of not trying to ape Staley. "Approaching it any other way would do a disservice to our band, to our fans and to Layne," DuVall says. He sings like a guitar player, which he is, which separates him from Staley's flamboyant history. DuVall says that, early on in his friendship with Cantrell, his greatest joy was teaching Cantrell a Comes with the Fall riff and waiting for the payback. "Then I'd ask him to show me 'Sick Man,' and he would," DuVall says. "We'd go back and forth." That same synergy extended into the recording of the new album and gave the group renewed optimism.
With a new album and a new tour, no one in Alice version 2.0 is willing to say what this current chapter means about the future. "This is a hard business," Inez says. "It isn't all limousines, cocaine and blowjobs. We did this all in dog years."

Simrad Yachting — a world leader in the design and manufacture of professional-performance marine navigation, autopilots, communications and fish-finding systems — have today announced its new RS35 fixed-mount, Digital Selective Calling (DSC) VHF radio and HS35 Wireless Handset. Combining a built-in dual-channel Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver with the latest in VHF functionality, the 25-watt RS35 supports up to two optional wireless handsets.
HS35 Wireless Handset and RS35 AIS VHF Radio
The new HS35 handset is suitable for long-range use — up to 100 meters from the RS35 radio — and features convenient, inductive charging. Designed for navigating in congested areas such as busy shipping lanes or marinas, the RS35 and HS35 provide the ability to see, hear and be heard for increased on-the-water safety.
'The Simrad RS35 and wireless HS35 handset are the ultimate radio solution for efficient and intuitive communication while at sea,' said Louis Chemi, chief operating officer, Navico Americas. 'The RS35 delivers unrivalled functionality and flexibility. From AIS integration to the convenience of wireless mobility, our new Simrad radio system is perfect for boaters who put safety first.'
The Simrad RS35 combines reliable performance and a best-in-class LCD display with an unparalleled feature set. Class D compliant for global use, the new Simrad Yachting VHF has an NMEA 2000® interface and includes a built-in, dual-channel AIS receiver that allows AIS reception and VHF use via a single antenna. Capable of displaying critical collision avoidance data from AIS-equipped vessels in range, accessible information includes vessel name, type, call sign, MMSI number, IMO number, and draft and size, as well as vessel position, speed over ground (SOG), course over ground (COG), rate of turn, heading, status, destination and ETA.
The RS35 provides plug-and-play integration that allows viewing of another boat's DSC distress call from a Simrad NSS chartplotter screen while receiving vital GPS data for accurate DSC call information. When connected to a compatible multifunction display, the device enables an exclusive 'Track Your Buddy' feature that connects DSC position polling via the NMEA 2000 network for GPS location display of up to three boating friends. Additional advanced capabilities include GPS navigation and Man Over Board (MOB) functionality.
The RS35 VHF radio has a large, easy-to-view, 128 x 256-pixel LCD measuring 1.3 x 2.6 inches (3.3 x 6.6 cm) with adjustable backlighting, plus a large 57 mm built-in speaker with four Watt output that allows for the connection of additional speakers. Its ergonomic, best-in-class fist microphone offers six quick keys, an easy-grip rubber molding cover for secure holding, and an additional speaker for noisy environments. Equipped with an extra large rotary knob, dedicated menu, weather and channel keys, separate volume and squelch knobs and a Distress button, the RS35 delivers all USA, Canadian and International marine channels, and features selectable Dual and TriWatch modes, 20 user-programmable names with MMSI, and a PA and hailer horn output for an automatic fog signal and a listen back function.
Designed as the perfect companion to the RS35, the compact Class D DSC Simrad HS35 Wireless Handset features a high-resolution, 180 x 128 pixel LCD display, a built-in speaker and microphone, and dedicated AIS function. Both energy efficient and easy to use, the device operates for up to eight hours on a single battery charge and has an innovative induction plate for easy and convenient charging. Equipped for long-range use, the handset has a 'push to talk' key and can act as an intercom between another HS35 or the RS35 base station. In addition, the hands-free unit has a non-slip rubber mold for secure gripping, can be programmed via USB connection and, for hands-free convenience, includes a headphone jack and a belt clip.
NMEA 2000 and 0183 compatible, the RS35 fixed-mount VHF/AIS offers selectable 25/1-watt transmit power and comes complete with a flush-mount kit and a sun cover. The Simrad RS35 and HS35 feature ultra-rugged chassis, are waterproof to the IPx7 standard (submersible), are protected by a two-year limited warranty, and are supported for an additional three years by the Simrad 5-Year Advantage Program.
Available February 2013, the Simrad RS35 fixed-mount VHF/AIS and HS35 Wireless Handset can be purchased from authorized dealers and distributors throughout the United States and Canada for US $399 and $169, respectively.

Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
After redeeming your voucher at the entrance of the Gardens of Versailles, head off to explore this must-see Versailles attraction independently and immerse yourself in France's rich history. Located just west of the fantastic Palace of Versailles, the Gardens of Versailles cover 1,977 acres (800 hectares) of land, landscaped beautifully across 13 different groves. Take your time and explore the garden's groves, where the flowers, labyrinths, sculptures and fountains will delight your senses.
Originally designed by the famous 17th-century French landscape architect, André Le Nôtre, the Gardens of Versailles have remained quintessentially French in style. Since his original creation, thousands more trees, flowers and shrubs have been planted amid ornate statues and, of course, the incredible Versailles fountains.
Your independent Gardens of Versailles ticket includes a Versailles musical fountain show (Grandes Eaux Musicales), which takes place in the morning (11am-12pm) and afternoon (3:30pm-5pm) on Saturdays, Sundays and selected Tuesdays throughout the summer. During the show, a multitude of jets spray water up to 27 feet (8 meters) in the air in sequence with the Baroque music of Jean-Baptiste Lully, a French composer who served the court of Louis XIV. The display finishes at the Bassin de Neptune, often considered the palace's finest fountain.
Please note: On Saturdays from June 21 - September 13, the gardens will close at 6pm (last entry at 5:20pm)

The tickets allowed us to bypass the line and wander the gardens. We spent a lovely hot afternoon exploring . Probably would have been better if we had some guide to explain the various statues and gardens.

The gardens and fountains at Versailles were fabulous! The palace was amazing!

I really hate Hadley. It's just an ugly sound to me. Lola is pretty and gets my vote by default, but I will admit, it borders on "stripperish".

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 8/9/12
OT Ryan Clady This one is a no brainer. The Broncos don't have any other options that make any sense and they won't let their franchise left tackle hit the open market, even though, as I've explained before, he's one of the most overrated players in the NFL. Still, those guys are available on the open market almost as rarely as franchise quarterbacks. Clady and the Broncos have tabled contract talks for now and since they were willing to offer him 5 years, 50 million (which he rejected), they'll have no problem slapping the franchise tag on him (9.4 million in 2012). Likelihood: Very likely

Ntune replaced coolbits?
Since my clocks won't go higher than 570/770 (I freeze at that), I wanted to see if coolbits would work magic and let me clock higher. I downloaded and installed coolbits and uninstalled ntune. It didn't work. Did ntune replace coolbits or are the 8 series cards not letting coolbits work with the cards?
Re: Ntune replaced coolbits?
They took overclocking and temp monitoring out and moved it to ntune since it all plugs into one control panel.
Re: Ntune replaced coolbits?
The freezing is likely due to gpu voltage and/or heat issues.
BTW, I think (or so I was told) coolbits and temp monitoring still works without nTune. Just switch over to the classic control panel instead of the new one.
Re: Ntune replaced coolbits?
Re: Ntune replaced coolbits?
Where to click to overclock in nTune? For the life of me, I can't figure it out. All I see is a frameless window with a chart and a few stats. I miss the old control panel + coolbits.
Re: Ntune replaced coolbits?
Rivatuner > Ntrash & coolbits ;)
Re: Ntune replaced coolbits?
After I reinstalled the video driver, the performace tab appeared in the control panel. I just wanna bump the clock up a little, nothing exotic.

Growing Support For Movember
November is here, and to the guys in our office, that can only mean one thing: Movember! They couldn't wait to put down their razors and let their mustaches go wild. But, the guys also happen to be avid athletes, and so we pondered if sweaty staches would get in the way of their workouts. Their response was unanimous: "it's worth it!"
We think it's a great cause, and the fact that it raises awareness on the incidence of both testicular and prostate cancer makes it worthy of our support. We're so keen on supporting the cause that this year, we got our own Movember Endomondo Team on Movemeber.com. We hope that our Endomondo community will join our team to run and grow a stache for a good cause!
Mo' running, Mo' stache?
Since we all will be running for Movember, we questioned what effect that can have on the speed of your stache growing endeavors. You know all those workouts you'll be tracking? Well, if you are aiming to let your facial hair shine during Movember, working out may be a good way to jump-start your growth. Exercise can promote hair growth, since it helps you pump up your heart which makes your blood circulates better.
And since we'll be seeing quite a few staches in the office this month, we started reading up on what are the pros and cons of sporting one. Research shows that not only does a little extra stubble make guys (on average) more attractive to the ladies, but maintaining your facial hair may even be a sign of a more powerful immune system. Maybe that's because it keeps you warmer? Yet, even with these benefits, we couldn't help wondering what your thoughts are on the idea of growing out a mustache.
So, guys: do you grow a Movember stache? If so, does your facial hair have any negative effects on your aerodynamic-ness? And ladies: staches – yay or nay? What about when it's for a good cause? Let us know what you think in your comments.
Free your staches!
Fun at the Color Run!
Last Sunday, Odense hosted a Color Run. You've probably heard of them (or even attended one), but if not, a Color Run is basically a fun 5k run where you start off wearing white, and get blasted with colorful cornstarch powder every time you run through a color station. We had our own run to go to that day in Copenhagen, so we were feeling a little blue that we couldn't make it. Luckily, a few of our friends were able to go, so they captured some beautiful shots and shared their awesome experience with us! Continue reading Fun at the Color Run!
Highlights from our first live event!
There was an idea floating around the office for some time now about getting together to go for a run with our community, to take social fitness even further. Sure, we go out running all the time with our colleagues and friends, but never with our users. You might be thinking "A running event? Those happen all the time, so what's the big deal?" But for us, this one was special because we've always wanted an opportunity to meet the people that matter most to us: our users!
We finally got our chance by hosting our first-ever "EndoMeet" event this past Sunday, and we are happy to say that, despite a rainy forecast that had us worried, it was a success! We went for a great run, enjoyed sunny Copenhagen skies, and got to meet many of our fabulous local users. We set up our meeting point next to the gorgeous Lake Pavilion (Søpavillonen), split up into our pace groups and got ready to start at 3pm. Our special guest, Henrik Them joined us for the full 6.3k run around the Søerne (the Lakes).
He ran on the 4:30 pace group along with a few of the other intrepid runners. Henrik is one of Denmark's fastest athletes, so it was a tall order to keep up with him! We managed to catch up with the group to snap a quick pic:
We also had a 5:00 pace group, a 6:00/5k group, and a walking group too:
Two of our lucky users won their own official Endomondo t-shirts, and a few participants won Premium subscriptions!
All in all, it was a perfect way to spend our Sunday, and we can't wait for the next one! Thank you to all of you who joined us!
If you're reading this and thinking: "I want to go to an Endomondo event in my area", please let us know! Drop us a line at email@example.com, and let's make it happen.

Timothy Lee Styles, 44, of Annapolis, was charged in a double stabbing in Glen Burnie. He is accused of stabbing his 37-year-old girlfriend and her 18-year-old son.
The female victim was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center and the male victim was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Both victims were treated and released. Police did not release the victims' names.
Police also charged Lorenzo Derrick Hall, 19, of Glen Burnie, with a handgun violation. Hall is a friend of the male stabbing victim and fired a handgun into the air once, police said.
A separate stabbing was reported about 4 p.m. Sunday near 6th and Cross streets in Brooklyn Park. County police officers found a 17-year-old with multiple stab wounds. The victim told police he was walking down 6th Street when a male suspect stepped out of a vehicle and demanded money.
The suspect took a pack of cigarettes and a knife from the victim's pockets and attempted to take his cell phone, but the victim resisted, police said. The suspect stabbed the victim with a box-cutter knife and entered the vehicle, possibly a green Buick sedan, and fled toward Brooklyn Homes in Baltimore, police said.
The victim was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center with possible life-threatening injuries.
Police are looking for the suspect, who the victim said is in his late 20s or early 30s, about 6 feet tall, 180 to 200 pounds, with dark skin and a chin-strap beard. Police are also looking for the driver of the vehicle.

Snow Leopard Shows iPhone Love... For Tethering!
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard does indeed have some "refinements and enhancements" for the iPhone, namely a brand spanking new iPhone logo in System Preferences > Network when you're tethered via the iPhone.
Yeah, okay, we know -- AT&T users need do nothing but raise their fists and yell out a "KAAAAAAHHHHHHNNNN!" like scream at the gaping lack of functionality they're still enduring. But at least you can take the smallest, most infinitesimal comforts in knowing that -- if you're a Mac -- you'll get a spiffy new icon to go with your no doubt exorbitantly overcharged tethering option.
If it ever becomes available.

Snow Leopard Shows iPhone Love... For Tethering!
My iPhone And I like this prospect!
This is cool! It would be great if I could set my laptop to only use the iphone sparingly so I don't blast through more than my whole months data cap and get stung with some huge overage charges because it wanted to download a huge system update in the background.
Tethering on the iPhone with AT&T works great!
It is a spiffy icon indeed
Ads said End of Summer. Is that the unofficiAl end, Labor Day, next week? Or the official end, around Sept. 21?
If your 3G coverage is decent, you can play WoW while tethering on AT&T. I do it all the time in a desperate attempt to get AT&T to end my contract early. I use 50 gigs a month.
Not so much as a peep from them.
Maybe I need to try bittorrent...
thats cool but i really rather have mms and not through the app store or cydia
u should really change the header from "comments" to "complaints". =p
Change the header to Comments, Complaints, and/or Fights and Duels.
I got Windows.
Don't toy with me, boy. >:0( But seriously they say Iphone will be free from AT&T by the end of 2010. Something called the Emancipation Proclamation & someone named Lincoln or Santa or FCC ...Really! (crying softly)
Sorry I don't use a Mac and I tether via jailbreak and Pdanet but I love the Wrath of Khan reference!!!!!! Win!
I'd just like to have 3G available where I have to travel. Bogus AT&T!
AT&T will likely charge too much to want to use this.

lol I tether my iPhone using Rogers now and again. Our Internet has been out the last week though so I've been using it heavily and have almost used my 6GB. I downloaded an iTunes movie and have been streaming tv shows. It works incredibly well. :)
I'm really digging Snow Leopard, but I have my fair share of qualms as well. No more cut and pasting Address Book contacts??? Check the rest out here:
I tried going to www.benm.at to download tether mobileconfig, but can't find it?
Also, does a new 3.1 update (when it comes) eliminate the tether config file so I have to download it again?
My tethering worked fine until I installed snow leopard or possibly the ipod/iphone compatibility update. Now it just goes bing twice when I plug it in and no ethernet devices show up in system preferences.
Any one else got this problem? Anyone got a fix for it?
How do I get this to work? I can't figure it out. Please help

The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program
The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) develops and maintains California's expression of the National Vegetation Classification System. We implement its use through assessment and mapping projects in high-priority conservation and management areas, through training programs, and through working continuously on best management practices for field assessment, classification of vegetation data, and fine-scale vegetation mapping.

- Publications & Protocols
- Survey of California Vegetation Classification and Mapping Standards
- Natural Communities
- Vegetation-related Links
NEW in 2015: The Manual of California Vegetation Online provides the updated, standardized classification for the state in a searchable database, along with photos of each alliance and explanatory chapters from the Manual.
Vegetation and Conservation
Vegetation is often considered to be the best single surrogate for habitat and ecosystems. Vegetation science has thus played an increasing role in wildlife and natural lands conservation and management over the years and is now among the principal tools involved in wildlands management and planning.
The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) is a synthesis of the Natural Communities program within the California Natural Diversity Database and the Significant Natural Areas Program. This enables a more focused effort on developing and maintaining maps and the classification of all vegetation and habitats in the state to support conservation and management decisions at the local, regional and state levels.
In August 2007, VegCAMP received a Proposition 84 grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) to further the development of a statewide vegetation classification and mapping program for the State of California. The first map product VegCAMP will produce with these funds will be for the northern Sierra Nevada Foothills. The WCB and the Department have identified additional priority areas for future projects.
Also in 2007, the State Legislature required the Department of Fish and Game to develop a vegetation mapping standard for the state. The following report has been provided to the Legislature.
The principal roles of the program include:
- Developing and maintaining a standardized vegetation classification system for California
- Implementing and updating best methods of vegetation assessment including sampling, analyzing, reporting, and mapping vegetation at multiple scales
- Training resource professionals on these techniques and coordinating with other agencies and organizations to ensure a statewide, standardized approach toward collecting, reporting, and interpreting vegetation data
- Developing best practices for using these data for long-range conservation and management of natural lands in the state
- Conducting integrated vegetation assessments throughout the state in areas with high conservation and management interest to the Department of Fish and Game and other agencies
- Archiving and distributing quality vegetation data
- Coordinating with other state, federal, and local agencies and organizations involved in vegetation assessment
- Integrating standard vegetation classification systems with species distributions to encourage unified habitat assessments and conservation efforts
Long-range goals of the program include:
- Completing and maintaining a state-wide vegetation map and classification in collaboration with other agencies and organizations
- Developing and updating the most appropriate vegetation products for conservation planning and natural resources management within the state
- Integrating the program with similar ones from other states and countries to facilitate national and international conservation and management of natural resources
Applications of VegCAMP efforts to analyses of statewide spatial data include:
- Regional conservation planning
- Wildlands fire/fuels modeling for improved preparedness
- Identifying individual plant and animal species distributions
- Predicting the spread of invasive species
- Early scoping for transportation projects to minimize impacts
- Prioritizing land acquisitions for parks and ecological reserves
- Identifying important wildlife corridors
- Setting a baseline for monitoring impacts of global climate change

Group marks 2-1-1 Day
Income tax event promotes staff's services
Hoping to remind the public that assistance always is available by dialing 211, staff and volunteers for the North Texas call center will mark National 2-1-1 Day Saturday with events at the old Jerry's Scoreboard location behind Sikes Senter.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., low- to moderate-income families will get free income tax preparation services. Staff members from North Texas 2-1-1 and the United Way will be on hand with refreshments, giveaways and a drawing to win a $211 Walmart gift card.
"The significance of designating Feb. 11 as 'our day' is to remind the public who they can (call) when they don't know where to turn for help," said Matt Yell, director of the 211 call center in Wichita Falls.
Last year specialists handled nearly 25,000 calls, directing people to assistance with food, utilities child care, job counseling service, mortgage problems and health resources.
North Texas 2-1-1 is a regional clearinghouse for access to community organizations and government agencies that provide nonemergency services.
It operates under national standards and is staffed by certified bilingual specialists. It is offered through a collaboration with North Texas Area United Way and the Texas Health & Human Services Commission.
For more information on the United Way's 2-1-1 program, dial 211 or the North Texas Area United Way at 940-322-8638.

Comments about AEARO SAFETY CORP 3M Tekk® Hearing Protector Headset (90561-00000T):
I bought these pricier ear protectors after having a disappointing experience with another, cheaper, pair also made by 3M. That cheaper pair was no bargain in the long run, since the headband was PLASTIC and predictably snapped in two after only a few uses. (Why did I not notice the "weak link" of the plastic headband?). So I saw these, the most expensive pair at my local ACE. I do not regret paying the extra dollars. These have a nice steel wire, padded headband that easily adjusts. The cups are super comfortable, and they are rated at 30 decibels, the highest possible. The difference in sound muffling from the other pair is like night and day. Since my audiologist advised that I always wear ear protection in loud noise environments - even for short periods of time - I have absolutely no regrets about buying these. Sure, they cost more... but they offer a lot more in return.

Small Business Owners and Credit Evaluation
By Experian's Business Information Solutions Group
Credit managers rely heavily upon external data sources to guide them in the credit decision process. To approve or reject a loan request is a delicate task. A credit manager must evaluate the risk associated with extending credit versus declining an applicant based on numerous factors. all the while, he or she is driven by the desire to generate revenue for the company. This article explores the credit evaluation process, particularly as it relates to small businesses.
The natore of credit evaluation
The need for sufficient and reliable information is the foundation of a successful credit decision. A credit manager may call on references, run background checks, pull a credit report, verify bank accounts or ask questions of the applicant to validate the information on the credit application. Credit managers are challenged with the task of obtaining readily available information to support their decision while sending a timely response to the applicant. A major obstacle in achieving this task is the turnaround time associated with checking references. The process varies from business to business and may include a background check, a verification of a bank deposit or credit references with existing suppliers. Some businesses require written requests, while others may offer to do a phone interview at their convenience. In either case, the "waiting game" is the most challenging aspect.
The nature of the reference check also is skewed to a certain degree. In all likelihood, the applicant will list accounts or business relationships that he knows will produce a favorable statement. For example, consider a business that has an open or closed collection account. It is highly possible that the applicant will withhold this information on his credit application. Such information, however, will appear on a business credit report.
Not having enough information to support the credit decision can be a nightmare for any credit manager. If the applicant owns a large business, chances are the business credit report on his company will suffice. However, if the business is a small to midsize or a start-up operation, it's likely the business credit report will have very limited information.
So what constitutes a robust business credit report? For some, the answer depends on the amount of credit being considered. For instance, if the applicant is asking for $100,000, chances are, as a credit manager, you'll want or expect a credit report with lots of information to help support your credit decision. Conversely, if the amount applied for is only $1,000, you may just want to know that the business exists. A credit report, even if it has limited information, may be just enough to steer you toward the right credit decision.
Following is a list of data elements that normally would populate a robust business credit report. As you look over the list, imagine what you would do if a report on a small business had just one of these items. Then ask yourself, "Is this enough information for me to make a sound credit decision?"
To illustrate this example, we will refer to the company applying for credit as Company A. Here is the information that goes into the process:
* A tradeline represents an existing business relationship with a vendor or a supplier. In this case, the vendor is supplying data to the credit-reporting agency with regard to Company A's record of payments for services provided by the vendor.
* A collection account represents an account that has gone into major delinquency status. Generally, this involves an account that is at least ISO days late where efforts to bring the balance current by the vendor have been exhausted. In this case, the vendor is relying on a third party, a commercial collection agency in this case, to collect the entire balance or at least a portion of it.
* A bank relationship validates the existence of the business from a financial relationship point of view. …

ATI RV770 Mesa DRI Driver Started
AMD has yet to go through their final intellectual property review on the R600/700 3D documentation that could yield open ATI R600/700 3D graphics by Christmas (though the chances of this happening are slimming), but Novell's Hatthias Hopf has provided a status update to report that they have internally begun work on an RV770 DRI driver for Mesa.

RadeonHD Driver Picks Up Rotation Support
Egbert Eich has announced this morning on the RadeonHD mailing list that rotation support has been added to this open-source ATI R500+ driver. This is a feature requested by many to be able to rotate the screen using RandR with the xf86-video-radeonhd driver, which is now possible. It is recommended that if you're using the rotation option that you use EXA acceleration. In addition, the panning mode currently isn't supported when using the rotation support. This support can currently be found in git master and will appear in the next stable release of the RadeonHD driver.

RadeonHD Driver Adds RV710/730 Support
When reviewing the Radeon HD 4670 and Radeon HD 4550 we found neither solution to be open-source friendly. Due to changes between the RV770 that powers the Radeon HD 4800 series and the newer RV710 and RV730 GPUs, these graphics cards wouldn't cooperate with the xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd drivers.

RadeonHD HDMI Audio Patches Pushed To Master
Last week new RadeonHD HDMI audio patches were released by an independent developer that allows the integrated audio processor on ATI R600+ graphics cards to be used over HDMI using the open-source RadeonHD driver (xf86-video-radeonhd). Today those patches have landed in the master branch of this X.Org driver. Some registers had to be reverse engineered because AMD hasn't released the documentation surrounding HDMI audio, but this support is known to work on at least several different card series. Check out the master branch of xf86-video-radeonhd for this committed work.

Revised HDMI Audio Patch For RadeonHD Driver
Christian König has released his latest HDMI audio patch on the RadeonHD mailing list. With the ATI R600 GPUs and later having an integrated APU (Audio Processing Unit), when using an HDMI connector it's possible to use your Radeon graphics card for sound too. There's been patches in ALSA for the sound support, but additional code is needed within the open-source X.Org drivers too. At this time neither the xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd have support for the integrated audio, but on the RadeonHD side there have been these patches maintained by Christian.

UVD Is Enabled For Linux In Catalyst 8.10
With Canonical publishing the ATI Catalyst 8.10 driver even before it's been announced by AMD or appearing on their driver download page, we've taken this opportunity for an early look at this next Linux driver. In early September we confirmed XvMC and UVD are coming to ATI's Linux driver and that it would be enabled in the October driver. Looking at the default AMDPCSDB (AMD Persistent Configuration Driver Store Data-Base) in this driver for Ubuntu 8.10 there is indeed the Unified Video Decoder (2) option and it's enabled.

Behind open-source 3D acceleration for the ATI R600 and R700 series, improved power management has been a much sought after feature among those using the open-source xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd drivers. There has been Dynamic Clocks support since earlier this year, but it's not nearly as advanced PowerPlay found within the Catalyst driver. We are now though getting closer to reaching open-source PowerPlay support.

Hubble captures awesome image of Comet ISON as it races toward sun
NASA has released a stunning photo of Comet ISON against a background of stars and distant galaxies. The composite image was stitched together from five photos snapped by the space agency's Hubble Space Telescope on April 30, 2013.
According to scientists, the five photos were captured by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 2 UVIS instrument. Three exposures were taken with a filter that transmits yellow and green light (seen as blue in the image) and two used a filter that let in red and some infra-red light.
"The result is part science, part art," blogged Josh Sokol of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, which operates Hubble. "It's a simulation of what our eyes, with their ability to dynamically adjust to bright and fainter objects, would see if we could look up at the heavens with the resolution of Hubble."
Sokol explained that in other ISON observations, scientists have pointed Hubble at the comet as it traverses across a starry backdrop. While this technique works well for getting an image of ISON, it does not do a good job capturing the fainter stars and galaxies that illuminate the comet's celestial highway. So, scientists settled for a trade-off by keeping Hubble trained on the stars as it snapped pictures of the comet.
Comet ISON is hurtling toward the sun on a trajectory that started 10,000 years ago in a distant region of space known as the Oort Cloud. On November 28, Thanksgiving Day, the comet will pass just 724,000 miles (1.16 million kilometers) the the solar surface. If it survives its perilous odyssey through ever-increasing solar radiation and tidal forces, it could illuminate the heavens for weeks and appear brighter than the moon, say astronomers. At the time of this latest image, ISON was located somewhere between Jupiter and the Asteroid Belt.
The comet, with a nucleus of about 3-4 miles in diameter, is known as a sun-grazing comet because its orbit brings it so close to the sun. As it plunges toward the inner solar system, the comet's icy nucleus heats up and plumes of vapor rise off its surface and carry away more than 200 million kilograms of microscopic dust particles each day. The size of the comet's tail, a ribbon of gas and dust coming off its frozen nucleus, also will increase beyond its current length, which at present could wrap around the Earth a staggering seven times.
Comet ISON was discovered by Russian astronomers Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok in September 2012. It is named after a telescope for the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON), a group of observatories in 10 nations designed to track objects in space. Scientists believe the comet is making its first-ever trip to the inner solar system from the far-away region of the Oort Cloud.

Re: Aion(EU/NA) beta starts June 5
I thought it was lots of fun.
Yes it the same old quests like in wow or any other mmo on earth, but its the first asien style mmo that is quest driven and that is ALOT.
I love the asien style and graphics but every mmo from there was grind on the same mob for hours then go to ther next lvl mob and do the same thing again.
This at least has lots of quests and fast lvling or what we EU/US players call normal lvling
And the flying and flying combat is a nice touch which makes the whole game unique. It adds another dimension into the game while you are pve or pvping (or pvpve
I already preordered it.
And there are cutscene which drive forward the story in the game which is nice if you dont want to read the wall of text in the quests
if you love the asien style but cant stand the grind in those mmos then this is the mmo for you.
They took the best things from the western market mmos and mixed it with the best things from eastern market mmos and added their own touch to it and created Aion
Yeah and it will be very polished when its released more than any other mmo because we are getting the patched version from asia where they have been playing since november 2008
