IDG's Computerworld Names Palmetto Health to 2015 List of 100 Best Places to Work in IT
Columbia, S.C. — IDG's Computerworld announces Palmetto Health as a 2015 Best Places to Work in IT, one of 100 top organizations that challenge their IT staffs while providing great benefits and compensation. Computerworld will publish the results from the 22nd annual Best Places to Work in IT survey. Palmetto Health ranks 39th among large organizations on the Best Places to Work in IT list.
Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Michelle Edwards is honored that Palmetto Health is listed once again, especially with all the challenges facing health care today. "Our team is involved in so many important system-wide initiatives, including implementing a population health management strategy, meeting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Meaningful Use requirements for electronic health records for our hospitals and eligible providers, implementing ICD-10 coding of medical diagnoses and hospital procedures, designing the IT systems for the new Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group, enhancing the revenue cycle, creating a strategy for data analytics, and supporting critical patient safety and clinical quality initiatives. With so many priorities, it's important for us to remain focused on the value IT brings to our organization, our care providers and, ultimately, our patients."
Some of the unique attributes of Palmetto Health's IT department include:
- Each team member feels he or she is vital to achieving the organization's vision: "To be remembered by each patient as providing the care and compassion we want for our families and ourselves."
- Palmetto Health is focused on developing its team members, as evidenced by more than 15 internal promotions last year.
- IT leaders welcome team members' opinions, because they believe diversity in careers, education and experience brings forth the best decisions.
- Palmetto Health's One Palmetto initiative, focused on improving the patient experience while eliminating waste throughout the health care system and standardizing best practices, as a proactive response to national health care reform and ongoing reductions in reimbursement.
- Recognition of outstanding employee performance through team meetings and messages on internal electronic bulletin boards, in announcements in employee forums, and in thank-you notes leaders send to team members.
- The compassion that is exhibited every day by team members to help each other get through the tough times professionally as well as personally. The friendship, love, and caring shows through every day.
Edwards adds, "Receiving the award this year showcases the compassion, strength and teamwork of our IT team. No one fails or succeeds alone — we together must meet the ongoing changes in health care. I am privileged to work with a great team that is committed to delivering the highest quality care to our patients and their families."
"The 100 organizations on Computerworld's 2015 Best Places to Work in IT list realize that attracting and retaining a highly-skilled technology workforce leads to competitive advantage," says Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "In a tight market for tech talent, these outstanding employers attract the best and brightest IT pros with generous salaries and top-drawer benefits, then deepen their teams' engagement with challenging, business-critical projects built around cutting-edge technologies. As a result, these winning organizations are best positioned to take advantage of the digital transformation sweeping through every industry."

Ok, ATH-ES7 / ATH-ES10 = 104.95$ / 395$ in Amazone.

Ok, ATH-ES7 / ATH-ES10 = 104.95$ / 395$ in Amazone.
I know, I said that money is no object, but are they worth it?
How abot Beyer's DT1350
They take all my money! - Well them and this place.
Thanks for the advice regarding refurbished triple fis!
I still haven't got around to buying, but I think I'll do it today.
I guess those sold on ebay are NOT manufacturer refurbished, just refurbished by whoever, right? Or they would say it was done by the manufacturer.
Can I just ask a super quick question: Other than triple fis, during the lifespan of this series I also had both super fi 5 and 10
I liked all of them, one most of all but I simply don't recall which one it was. Which of these three models are the better one and how come it's the triple fis that are still available to buy whereas the superfis are almost impossible to find anymore?
I think the three ones are:
SuperFi 3, (SuperFi 4?), SuperFi 5 (and SuperFi 5eb) and TripleFi 10 as the best in the series
I bought a pair of Triple Fi" on Ebay for £115 including postage.
Oh they are soooooooooooooooooo good!
Fit perfectly, it feels like you are standing next to a fantastic sound system and all the chatter of people on the metro or people hollering on their mobile and what not just disappears.
They had been used "only once" according to the seller
Frankly I thought he was a bit dodgy and there were some clearly incorrect statements in his ad, but I can't find anything wrong with the headphones.
I went for a walk through gorgeous Kew Gardens here in South West London where I live. The triple.fis increased the pleasure x100....
What am I going to use the day these are no longer available? Maybe I'd better stock up and buy a few pairs as a backup.
Guys, I didn't know where to ask this so I thought I'd give it a try here. Anyone else here find the tf10 cable to be extremely annoying? It's never straight and whenever I'm using them I have a mess of wire that is twisted. Any ideas on how to straighten them? Thanks!
Hang them on something rather than coiling and storing them.
Second this.
Ah, that's probably the problem. Every night I store them in my otterbox with one of those moisture removing pods since my tf10 are customs. I've always thought about disconnecting them and hanging the wire separately but then I'm scared one day I might break the socket. Guess I do have to disconnect it. Thanks!
hi there! just a newbie here looking for an IEM upgrade. :D
i currently am using the Vsonic GR07 MKII's now, and am loving the mids and sub bass, but not so much the sibilance (which is still bareable in any case..)
i use Vsonics provided tips for the IEM's, the smallest tip (about an S or more likely an XS) on the right and a medium on my left. both fit my ears perfectly.
regarding the comfort issues of the TF10, will i have problems with the right ear? i have a very small right canal which cannot take tips bigger than small sizes as i will not be able to get a perfect seal. i am not looking at using foam tips, rather just silicone tips.
if it makes any more sense, i can only go using the orange core sony hybrid tips on my right ear at the most.
looking forward to any help! thanks so much fellow head-fi-ers! :D
This thread is slowly dying let's keep it alive.:) still loving em FI-10s!:)
Listening to the TFI.10 today via the DragonFly, after months of not using it (IE80 consuming most ear time at work). Soundstage on these are still really good. Still a really enjoyable headphone that has more attack then the IE80. One day I might send these in for a custom mold with Unique Melody.
I'm selling my TF10 with original box. Here is the link: http://www.head-fi.org/t/643403/ue-triple-fi-10-with-with-original-boxes-and-additional-accessories
TF10s have taken over as my new primary phone since the loss of my SM3s, they fill the role sufficiently. First sign of any durability issues they will be going to customs. I regret waiting to jump on them; I would have gotten a second pair if the Black Friday deal was still available. Even at $250 (current Amazon price) I think they are a fair buy; sure there are a slew of TWFKs below $200, but from everything I've read they are mostly bass-light and usually on the brighter side, whereas TF10 delivers a really fun sound with solid presence across the spectrum.
anyone looking to sell an extra TF10 cable, please PM me. not looking for anything fancy

American ExperienceMount Rushmore | Wednesday, 8 p.m.
High on a granite cliff in South Dakota's Black Hills tower the huge carved faces of four American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Together they constitute one of the world's largest pieces of sculpture.
The story of Mount Rushmore's creation is as bizarre and wonderful as the monument itself. It is the tale of a hyperactive, temperamental artist whose talent and determination propelled the project, even as his ego and obsession threatened to tear it apart. It is the story of hucksterism and hyperbole, of a massive public works project in the midst of an economic depression. And it is the story of dozens of ordinary Americans who suddenly found themselves suspended high on a cliff face with drills and hammers as a Danish sculptor they considered insane directed them in the creation what some would call a monstrosity, and others a masterpiece.
Day of Days: June 6, 1944Thursday | 8 p.m.
On June 6, 1944, thousands of Allied servicemen landed on the shores of northern France, tasked with liberating western Europe from Nazi tyranny. Over the ensuing hours and days, the men faced decimating machine-gun fire, mortars and artillery, eventually fighting their way inland, but not before suffering a staggering number of casualties.
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landing, four D-Day veterans gather at the famed Museum of World War II outside of Boston, Mass. to share their experiences from that fateful "Day of Days." Cameras eavesdrop on their conversations as they vividly recall details from their ordeal — from the perils of the amphibious assault to the invasion's gruesome aftermath. Their interactions with one another yield long-buried, and often painful, memories. They recount their transformations from boys to men, reveal their uneasiness with the term "hero," and grapple with why they survived when so many others did not.

The Illions Supreme was once the largest and most spectacular carousel from renowned master carver Marcus Charles Illions, with individual horses valued in the millions today. Incredibly, its provenance faded away under weather and cheap paint and it languished in storage for almost 60 years. Piecing it back together requires engineers and artists alike, but the results are breathtaking.

The Mind of a ChefKentucky | Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
The Bluegrass State offers a rich culinary history that rivals that of America's more well-known food destinations. A few ingredients come to Ed's mind when he thinks about his adopted state: country ham, sorghum and smoke. Ed visits Nancy Newsom, still making her family's ham with their century-old recipe, with Southern food historian and Atlanta chef Linton Hopkins. Then it's off to Owensboro with homegrown chef Ouita Michel to make a dish featuring two more local ingredients: smoke and spoonbill caviar. Yes, caviar from Kentucky. And finally, Ed places Kentucky's most prized crop — sorghum — on a pedestal and creates a decadent ice cream with the viscous, sweet, earthy amber syrup.
Effortless Healingwith Dr. Joseph Mercola | Friday, 7 p.m.
A well-known physician, Dr Mercola's website is one of the most visited natural-health sites in the world – a site dedicated to educating readers about ways to improve their health.
He is one of the world's leading advocates for using food as medicine. In this program he helps people struggling with their weight and chronic conditions to make the connection to their food and lifestyle choices.
He's an educator committed to teaching people how to cultivate their own power to heal. He believes the body is designed to be healthy without drugs, and in giving it what it needs to thrive, so it can regenerate itself without any outside interventions. This innate restorative tendency is what he calls "effortless healing."
Rather than suggesting people rely on expensive and potentially dangerous drugs Dr. Mercola empowers people to become their own healers and helps viewers understand how they can effortlessly modify their diet to achieve their health goals.
He covers the impact of gluten and sugar on the body, the benefits of intermittent fasting and exercise, and provides Effortless Healing Action plans throughout. He clearly outlines changes viewers can make in their lives, from eliminating certain foods to adding others, and illustrates the changes that could result.
He puts forward principles of healing to arm viewers with information to choose more skillfully what and when to eat, what to drink, how and how often to move, and how to remove the roadblocks to wellness – such as subpar food and contaminated beverages – so that their body can do what it was designed to do effortlessly: stay well.

What have you learned while working at WEIU? Coming from a very different market in Texas, I've had to quickly learn about the community that WEIU serves, and I've become very fond of it. As I've gotten to know the staff at WEIU, I've learned how dedicated they are to bringing the kind of quality television that has relevance to the community, but still entertains and stimulates viewers — no easy feat in the age of 200 channels.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? The question should be "Why wouldn't someone become a member of WEIU?" If you've ever enjoyed the wide range of programming WEIU provides; if your children or grandchildren have ever learned about letters or numbers or even social skills from the 11.5 hours of stimulating, non-violent and educational kids' programming WEIU provides each day; if you've been able to experience an opera or a Shakespearean play or a rock concert or a Broadway show that you wouldn't otherwise have had access to; if you've learned to knit or do woodworking or to cook by watching WEIU's programming, then why shouldn't you be a member of WEIU?

Re: Windows 7 Intentionally leaked???
I think the version to be 64-bit only was confirmed to be after Windows 7. Microsoft isn't going to limit their OS to 64-bit processors just yet. In an economy like we have now that would be suicide. Gotta remember that most people outside this forum have less then 4gb of Ram and run PC's that are 2-3 years old. Limiting people loses money, even though many people would like to see 32-bit OS bite the dust.

Re: Ani Mijacika cheering thread
Very impressive from Ani. She's obviously too good for $10k's (just like it was obvious with Pandzic after just three tournaments). It'll be interesting to see how she does in the $25k's. Who knows, we might have a new Croatian star in the making!
Ani will re-enter the rankings at ~755. That's even higher than when Pandzic re-entered the rankings two years ago (~800, I think). It'll be good enough to get direct entry to the MD of most $10K's and qualies of many (most?) $25k's.

Should I stick with buying 512Mb GDDR3 128 or spend more and get

It depends on what graphics card your getting with it.
~Most~ graphics cards don't allow you to upgrade the video ram by yourself (it's much cheaper and more secure to just solder it onto the cards, rather than having sockets for it)
Modern desktop gaming cards almost invariably come with GDDR5 memory, and usually at least 1 GB of it except for budget options. GDDR3 and GDDR4 are pretty much obsolete by now. DDR3 (without the G) is sometimes used in budget gaming cards if severely power-constrained. Non-gaming cards usually use DDR3 or DDR2; I'm not sure why some still use DDR2.
Are you looking to buy a new computer, replace just the video card, or what?

If you're carrying nothing it won't weigh you down
I'm just replacing my old video card. I have a factory built Dell Dimension E510. This is a standard Dell that came out mid-late 2005. Very sucky. The graphics card is low end. The one I'm buying will be high end. It will be pushing the max watts allowed for my PC (which says 350 but I can sneak by 400 in some cases).
I won't really be playing Oblivion but Morrowind Overhaul is nearly as power hungry as unmodded Oblivion so I used that as an example.
I won't be playing any new games. My computer will definitely be too weak for Skyrim for example.

The thing is, I found a new HD 4670 graphics card for $50. It has 512 mb GGD3 128.
The reason I''m asking you all which graphcis card I should get is because I honestly don't know if the difference between the four options I mentioned is big enough that I should go ahead and get something even better than my first option.

You're going to have to watch that power supply.
Most PSUs in pre-built machines are cheap junk, so your power supply is almost certainly a "350W" power supply instead of an actual 350W power supply. It's very probable that you won't be able to pull 350W from it without blowing it up, and it is absolutely certain that you won't be able to draw 400W from it.
In fact, I'd be concerned about drawing 200W from it. Since the 4670 has a TDP somewhere in the ballpark of 70-75W, 150W-200W is probably about what your system's power draw will be. It's what Guru3d drew from their system in stress testing. Now, maybe a cheap "350W" PSU will put out 200W, or 57% of its rated load. On the other hand, maybe it won't. I'm betting that in the short term, it probably will, but even if it does, the efficiency and ripple will probably both be pretty terribad.
In short, I'd replace the PSU if you're looking at a new video card, but if that's not in the budget, I would consider a 4670 to be the absolute more power-hungry card that your system would take.
I think your in the Catch-22
You really can't handle a faster video card without upgrading the power supply. Honestly, I wouldn't trust a Dell powersupply at 300 if it said 350. And even if your power supply holds up fine, your case probably will have trouble handling the heat that the new video card will put out.
Secondly, you go and spend money on a faster video card, which sounds great in theory. But the rest of your computer is still circa 2005. The CPU is probably an older Pentium D, or a Core Duo if your lucky. It will struggle no matter what video card you put in there, so your game play is still going to be significantly hampered. But to upgrade the CPU, you need to upgrade the motherboard. And if you upgrade the motherboard, you'll need new RAM because computers shifted from DDR2 to DDR3 around that time.
I think you've reached the point, with that system, where in order to get decent enough performance out of it for modern games, you are realistically looking at gutting the entire thing, and at that point the only thing original left is the DVD drive...
The best option, once you hit this point, is really to eBay/Craigslist/donate the entire computer, and use the funds you get to bankroll a brand new build. $700-800 total can get you a really nice starting point for a modern gaming computer, and while that is a big investment to make up front, it will play anything you throw at it, have enough legs to live for 4-5 years (with an upgrade or two along the way), and even though your putting down a lot more bucks, your getting a lot more bang out of it, so the bang for the buck is definitely in favor of a entire new rig.

Lets say I get a better PSU and get a really high end Radeon.
Would I have to upgrade my processor as well?

OP, I feel your pain when it comes to your attempts to upgrade your graphics power in that machine. As others have already posted, you will have a problem working around that Dell factory power supply. I have the same machine as you, purchased from Dell back in 05-06. One thing I would point out to you that I encountered is the limited space in that machine's case. My E510 came with a Radeon X1300 256mb video RAM. When I looked into upgrading, not only was the power supply an issue, but the actual dimension of the case restricts your choices. The graphics cards Dell put in that particular machine were specifically designed for a small power supply and a shortened case. Be careful when looking to upgrade, but again, I know how much you want to get some more life out of it.

That says it's a Pentium 4. A single core NetBurst is not what you want to play games on.
Conroe didn't launch until July 2006, and before that, Dell didn't offer any good processors, because Intel didn't and Intel was paying Dell to only offer Intel. Even if it's a Pentium D, that still isn't what you want to play games on.
That said, the Radeon HD 4670 is not a really high end card. It was a budget gaming card when it launched in 2008. Today it's still a functional gaming card, provided that you don't want to play DirectX 11 games and don't mind turning graphical settings down a ways. But it's not what you want to buy new.
That's a newer, faster card targeted at the same market segment, and with a lower TDP. If you're replacing another discrete card, the power consumption would likely be close enough to what you're replacing to be fine. But you'd probably still be better off replacing the computer outright.
If you don't have $600 for a replacement, then save your money until you do, rather than throwing money at products that won't fix the problem.

Visiontek 900310 Radeon HD 5670 Video Card - 1GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0 (x16), DVI, HDMI, VGA, DirectX 11 for 59.99
I mean, would you still think that is throwing away money? I might not be upgrading my CPU but I would have a 1GB GDDR5 Radeon and a new PSU. And like I said, I only want to play Morrowind Overhaul (youtube preview - select HD).
Yes, which is why it's the Catch-22. You upgrade one part, and then you find out something else is deficient and holding you back, so you upgrade that to find out it needs a different motherboard slot, so you upgrade that and find out you need new memory, so you buy that, and find out your need a new power supply to run it all, so you get that, and find out it needs a new case to fit, so you buy that, and find out you need a new SATA drive because you don't have IDE on your motherboard...
...and so now you have just got an entire computer one piece at a time chasing upgrades, and none of it really works well until you have all of it.
It is your money, your free to do what you wish with it, but I've seen a lot of people fall into this Catch-22, and they think they are just going to start out with a $50 upgrade to play a specific game, and within 3-6 months, they've upgraded that card again and are on an entire new build anyway. It's why a lot of people like consoles so much, you never have to worry about upgrading them or fidgeting with drivers.
Nice price on the video card.
Not so much on the power supply, though. Completely free would probably be overpriced for that power supply, as it would still cost money and effort to dispose of it. If the problem is that you have a mediocre, low wattage power supply, then getting an absolutely awful power supply of higher wattage isn't the solution. The problem wasn't "low wattage". The problem was "mediocre", and you're going in the wrong direction there.
Rather, what you need is a power supply of decent quality, like this:
That's a great deal, by the way. It's pretty rare to be able to get a power supply of decent quality for below $40, at any wattage.

Quizzical, I'm starting to think your job involves selling brand name stuff and you just like to tell people to buy a whole new pc etc.
Sure, getting a new pc would be great. And I would like a great gaming pc for when Skyrim comes out. But for now I'm only gonna be playing old game like Morrowind Overhaul etc. And my birthday is a week away so I can upgrade some stuff with this computer.
Would it be worth it to get a better power supply and better graphics card or is there a cap wher getting higher and higher graphics cards doesn't make a difference for my Intel 945G Express chipset and Intel Pentium D CPUs (3.20 GHZ (2 CPUs with 5x1 and 6xx Series Processors)).
^this is an really important question for me and it will help me understand a lot more about upgrading PCs
There are a number of things that can be the limiting factor in performance: processor, video card, memory bandwidth, memory capacity, storage speed, router, etc. Which is the limiting factor can vary from one program to another. Within a given program, it can vary from one moment to the next. But the observed performance is always that of whichever part is least able to perform as well as you need it to.
If neither your processor nor your video card are adequate for gaming and you replace one, then games still won't run well because of the other. Now, your motherboard is probably Socket LGA 775, and if it is, then this processor will physically fit:
It also offers nearly double the performance of your Pentium D. Never mind the clock speed; Penryn offers much better IPC than NetBurst. If there's a BIOS update, then you could get that and have a fast enough processor for upgrading your video card to be worthwhile. If you can't, then a lot of games simply won't perform properly, no matter what else is in the system. You should find out exactly what motherboard you have and check to see if there are BIOS updates available to take later processors. If there aren't, then you're stuck.
What you really don't want to do is to spend $100 upgrading an old system, only to find that it still won't perform the way you want and you have to replace it anyway and are out the $100. If it's only one part holding you back, then sure, upgrade. But when the problem is the processor and the video card and the motherboard and the memory and the storage and the power supply and the case, piecemeal upgrades to an old platform are not the answer.
That said, the Intel 945G chipset integrated graphics are pretty dismal. If all you want is something functional for games that are several years old, then the processor might well be adequate for that, and a new video card might get you what you want.
As for the power supply, the nominal wattage doesn't tell you very much. See here, for example:
That's a review of a "350 W" power supply. When they tried to pull 250 W from it, it fried. It was running way out of spec at much lower wattages than that, even. That's the sort of situation where a power supply can manage to not just die, but take everything else in your system with it. If you pick up a $20 power supply, then unless you found a very unusual and very short term promotional deal, that's the sort of quality you should expect. Decent qualtiy power supplies usually start around $40, and $35 with free shipping for the one I linked above is unusually cheap for a decent power supply.
It's your money, we can only offer suggestions and advice. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow or disregard it.
Right now, pretty well everyone is agreement, that it isn't worth putting any more money into that PC, you won't really get much out of it. But you control your own wallet, if it's something you want to experiment with, by all means.
Your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component. So yes, there is a cap where a higher graphics card won't make any difference, and with a Pentium D, that cap is very very low, because that processor is pretty old now.

Bridge at Chinipas
So far it looks like you covered much the same ground as we did on our recent trip in November the BeemerDon of the FJR Group.
I recognized the use of the Carta E32 maps but it looks like your version is a recent update from the version I had.
Did you find the bridge north of Chinipas or did you just ride across the river? Judging from conditions the river should not be very deep.

My E32 maps are the 2011 version.
Bob and I left first and rode up to the bridge. We did look at a couple of the normal crossing places and they were pretty shallow.
I'm not sure if anybody else rode through the water or not.

After breakfast at Gaby's we're off to see the new bridge here just north of Chinipas. We wind our way towards the bridge and we go past the airport and follow a rising trail along the Rio Chinipas. Just as we're at about the highest point of the road a small single engine plane comes in for a landing following the river and passes below us. Pretty cool sight. The new bridge is well, big and we hang out on it for a short while waiting for everyone to group up. I snapped a couple of pictures but for some reason no one gets a shot of the bridge.
The view to the North from the bridge.
To the South.
The objective today is El Forte but it's a bit of an ambitious goal if our track record for flat tires continues. So we're ready to cut short with an option for Alamos if we need to. We head for the hills outside of Chinipas.
Looking back towards Chinipas.
We're up and over one ridge and down into the valley below. Heading up the next ridge we find a nice short cut and take full advantage of it. When we head down the other side the temps are climbing as we descend into the desert below. We head down and the farmer heads up with supplies.
Ian and fugarwe at a shady rest spot.
Now we're down in the lower elevations and it's kinda hot. The roads are wide open compared to the mountains and we hustle along. Tury waves to his adoring fans.
We stop a tienda for some refreshments. Tury with some of his admirers. Note the young man on the right, smelled like someone was burning rope
A personal water tower, now this guy has some water pressure.
One of the small villages we pass through in the lowlands.
After what seemed like 30 miles of high speed wash board roads we arrive in Alamos. A pretty nice town and we take a break at one of the town squares for a snack and a break from the dusty roads. We come a cross this guy who was originally from Iowa who moved here a long time ago and well looks the part.
We're getting tired and hot and really sick of the wash board roads. The thought of another 70 miles of the same isn't very appealing. A shower and a couple of cervezas now THAT'S appealing. But we want to get to El Forte today so we can spend 2 days there. We waver back and forth stay here, it looks like a real nice town or keep going through the desert and have tomorrow to do as we please. Cwc asks a local policeman what the condition of the road is to El Forte. He tells us that it's paved over half the way there. Well that seals it we're off to El Forte.
Here's a hint when asking directions in Mexico try to be very neutral when you ask directions don't ask is this the way to El Forte pointing the way you think it is. Ask which way to El Forte and let them tell you. They seem to want to tell you what you want to hear so if you think that's the way to El Forte then yes that's the way. In this case we wanted the road to El Forte to be in good condition so that's what he told us. Unfortunately that was a bit optimistic the pavement ended about 10 miles out of town. The good news was that the road was in large part without the wash board we had coming into Alamos.
Cwc asking directions, this worked out better than in Alamos.
T-bones on the hoof. Note the inner tube at the ready on cwc's tail pack
Several small village to pass through on the way to El Forte.
Just before you reach El Forte there's a big reservoir here is cwc on the dam.
We finally arrive at The Hotel Guerrero
Showers, comfortable chairs and cervezas. Is this a great country or what?

Chinipas to El Fuerte Routes
It was a long day. Bob and I made it to El Fuerte just as it got dark.
Most people took the green route, but when we got to the point where you had to decide the locals said motos went east so we did too. It's a bit slower road and we are also a bit slower so we arrived about 45 minutes after the rest of the group. We did get some pictures though.
This is the profile of the green part of the route from the Powershouse GPS. Note the difference in the vertical scale.

Video of the bridge at Chinipas
That section of road / trail leading out of Chinipas was one of my personal favorites from our trip. We came from Alamos into Chinipas. Some of us forged the river and the wimps took the bridge.
I have a video of both ...
Nice job on the report. Makes me want to go back and get away from the weather around here. They are calling for some snow this weekend

Oh---it saddens me tremendously that they built a bridge across the river in chinipas----well I got to cross the river twice in the 2 times I've been to Chinipas----the river crossing was my favorite part of Chinipas-----glad to see Gaby is still in business. Now the roads will get improved--here comes the tour busses and traffic---and it all goes to hell.
thanks guys !!

You can't get there from here!!
One of my neighbours drives a schoolbus around here and almost had a heart attack when I showed him my video of the descent into the canyon.

The next morning, we heard some music coming from the street out front. There was a parade going by.
These ladies had to stop & pose for the Gringo!
The dust had taken it's toll on our riding gear. There was a "wash station" located at the back of the courtyard. furgarwe shows how to hose off some of the Polvo.
While Ian prepares to clean his air filter
Four of us decide to head further west to Topolobampo, on the Sea of Cortez for some fresh seafood for lunch. The others stay back & tour the local sights of El Fuerte.
Myself, Powerhouse, Ian & Bob on the fast road to the Coast.
It takes us about 1 1/2 hours to get to the coast.
We ride around town & find this place. From the looks, they should be serving seafood.
A look at the menu is convincing we are going to be eating something from the sea! The prices are not dollars.....
Powerhouse starts us with an appetizer. A shrimp, squid, snail & octopus cocktail! Very good!
The BBQ fish & Shrimp were very good too.
After lunch we took a little run around the Harbor. Topolobampo is one of the ports for ferries arriving from Baja. There wasn't any activity this afternoon. So we got a shot of a couple ships & started heading back.
On the way back through Los Mochis we went by a Fire Station. Ian is a fire fighter back home so wanted to stop & say hi to the local Bomberos.
The guys were very happy to have a brother firefighter stop in. They gave us a tour of the firehouse, then presented Ian with a very nice shirt.
They probably wouldn't want this crew to show up at their next fire though!
Back in El Fuerte we joined the rest of the group, went to out to dinner & ended another great day in Mexico

A day off in El Forte, Sleddog already covered some of the trip out to the coast. The rest of us stayed back in town and explored some once we got our chores done. There was gear and air filters to be cleaned and the staff at the Hotel Guerrero took all of our dirty laundry and washed it for us.
Some pics of the courtyard at the hotel.
Moto parking and appliance recycling.
One of the rooms in the old part of the hotel, toilet seat optional.
Nobody's going to make off with this valuable B+W 12 incher.
Maps are out and plans are laid for the next days ride.
As you can see from the photo above fugarwe is real happy about the nachos he found at the Oxxo (convenience store) We're all thrilled that we can now get real brewed coffee at the Oxxo but with progress comes civilization, not always a good thing.
Powerhouse at the Oxxo "hey guys there's brewed coffee in here."
Special Mexican Tostitos not available in the USA.
Hooky ice cream.
The convenience store, the beginning of the end for rural Mexico.
Fugarwe and I wander the side streets doing some light shopping and we make it over to the town square.
We head to the Hotel Posada Hidalgo an upscale establishment. Part of this hotel is the birth place of Diego de la Vega better know as El Zorro. I sign up for a massage first and then we wander around this historic hotel seeing how the other half travels.
The Casa Vieja courtyard.
They tiled around the tree roots.
Fugarwe getting stuck by El Zorro.
Later I head for the municipal building just off the square.
The courtyard inside.
In our wandering we come across this small bar just across from the square with a smokin hot bar tender who shows us her bass. A fish. you people get your minds out of the gutter. Bass are are product from the lake outside of town. We note the location and plan to return with the others.
When the others get back from the coast and cleaned up we head for dinner back at the same spot as last night. Good food, good prices and big margaritas. The mural in the entry of the restaurant.
The gang's all here.
Like I said big margaritas.
Our table is outside and soon we discover that the cook's window is right by our table. Cwc checks with the cook to make sure his bean burrito is done to perfection.
After dinner most of us are off the bar we found earlier the one with the bartender with the nice bass. We catch some Mexican TV, wrestler being interviewed. Mexican TV can be like American TV was in the 50s and 60s.
After our fill of food and drink we head back to the hotel and pause for a group picture. Is this a great country or what!

FILM REVIEW: "Rango"
Lizards and light dance in 'Rango'
Published: Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 9:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 2, 2011 at 9:54 a.m.
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, where "the drugs began to take hold" in the Johnny Depp adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
Film facts
"Rango," a Paramount Pictures release, is rated PG for rude humor, language, action and smoking.
Running time: 107 minutes.
The film opened March 4 at AMC Houma Palace 10, 5737 W. Park Ave. For showings and ticket prices, call 1-888-AMC-4FUN or visit www.movietickets.com or www.fandango.com.
Rating: Three stars out of four.
In the manic, animated "Rango," which stars Depp as a chameleon, our coordinates are similar, and the hallucinogens are well under way. It's as though the drug-conjured lizards of "Fear and Loathing" have been contracted by Hollywood and tasked to make a Western.
Go West, young reptile.
But "Rango" proceeds from a presumably more sober place: the mind of director Gore Verbinski, who helmed the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy. It's his first animated film, but if you recall Depp's Jack Sparrow, you'll note that Verbinski is well acquainted with cartoon. "Rango" is also a first animated feature for the effects house Industrial Light & Magic.
Together, they've created perhaps the most cinematic animated film since Pixar's "Ratatouille." As a slapstick comedy, it doesn't have the emotion resonance of a Pixar film, but it's a visually stunning, endlessly inventive, completely madcap Western, made with obvious love for the genre.
"Rango" begins as movies should: with a Mariachi band of musical owls. Our narrators, they introduce the film and our hero, an early hint at the self-consciousness pervading the wink-filled "Rango."
We find our chameleon protagonist in full theatrical flight, turning his pet lizard tank into a film set, with supporting roles played by an inanimate fish toy and a palm tree: "Acting is reacting," he knowingly professes to no one.
With a wide, flat Don Rickles mouth and two giant bowl-shaped eyes, Rango, clad in a red Hawaiian shirt, doesn't look like your normal animated hero. We quickly learn that he's a precocious young actor whose life cooped up as a pet has habituated his imagination to flights of fancy. He is badly in need of an audience.
Rango is bounced out of his cage by a bump in the road and — in a beautifully done scene — tossed from the back seat of his unseen owners onto a Mojave Desert road, where he comes careening to a stop atop a broken piece of glass.
Spurred by an "enlightenment"-seeking armadillo (Alfred Molina), he sets out on a journey of self-discovery that includes momentarily landing on the windshield of the "Fear and Loathing" convertible, with Depp's former character inside.
Rango winds up in the old, rickety desert town of Dirt. Despite a résumé that includes, as he claims, two one-acts and a working musical, Rango — less a chameleon of color than of character — dons the role of gunslinger so that he might impress the townspeople.
Inside a saloon, he claims with great bravado that he comes from the West, "beyond the sunset," and vanquished seven with a single bullet. Rango's dialogue, from John Logan's witty screenplay, is thoroughly Deppian in its verbosity. Rango boasts of eating men like the menacing Gila monster Bad Bill (Ray Winstone) for breakfast, adding: "Then we braise him in clarified butter."
Rango is convincing enough that he's made sheriff of Dirt. It's a town teaming with ragged curiosities: a drunk rabbit (Stephen Root), a slinky fox (Claudia Black), a wide-eyed and cynical mouse (Abigail Breslin), the prairie dog Balthazar (Harry Dean Stanton). There's also the potential love interest lizard named Beans (Isla Fisher).
Dirt's problem is water. Its dwindling supply is kept in a large jug in a bank's vault. The town's tortoise mayor (Ned Beatty) tells Rango: "You control the water, you control the desert."
With folksy villainy and a creaky wheelchair, the mayor is a perfect stand-in for John Huston's Noah Cross of "Chinatown." That film supplies the frame for much of "Rango," though only to a point. Incest is tabled and no nosey fellows get their nostrils sliced, but solving the mystery of the missing water is Rango's mission.
He seems no better equipped than Jake Gittes to solve what he deems Dirt's "aquatic conundrum." (His advice to one little creature: "Burn everything but Shakespeare.") But Rango is a method actor, and he eventually becomes the part.
As smart as "Rango" is, what most stands out is its simulation of light. With the great cinematographer Roger Deakins serving as a visual consultant and visual effects headed by Mark McCreery, the refraction of light in "Rango" may be the pinnacle yet in animation.
Shadows fall through the saloon — with glowing amber glasses of whiskey (or "cactus juice") — so authentically designed that one swears the room full of gun-totting varmints is real. Wisps of dust swirl across the road's cracked pavement.
Like Wes Anderson's entry to animation, "Fantastic Mr. Fox," Verbinski has brought live-action tools to an animated medium. The results in "Rango" are so lively that the post-movie conversation will go some time before any moviegoer remembers that 3-D was (thankfully) omitted.
The movie's postmodernism could be considered too cloying, but it comes off charming, especially because it pulls from such great sources. The Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone are joyfully referenced, complete with a cameo from the Man With No Name (voiced by Timothy Olyphant, not Clint Eastwood). Hans Zimmer's score is a playful ode to those of Ennio Morricone.
Perhaps a new classification has been born: the "SpaghettiOs Western."

I've been using this product for about 4 months now. I am still unsure if i really like it. It seems to work, but then again i still break out. It is almost maintaining my skin condition, so it's not making it worse but not really clearing it up either. However, i do notice my skin tone improving quite abit. Also it really hydrates my skin and i don't need to apply any moisturizer afterwards (which is rare for me). I can't really say if the "retinol" in it is helping with any wrinkles or not. I also have read that retinols and S.A.or any AHA/BHA when used together (can) cancel each other out?. So..this product has helped with my acne, but has not totally cured it. I will continue to use it until i find something better!. I use it once a day at night for treatment of acne. I did use it twice a day but did not notice it working any better. I now use Finacea Gel rec.by my Derm in the a.m. (you can read my review on Finacea here also)

I've been a Dermalogica user for years, but just this fall/winter when the weather started to turn, my normal Dermalogia moisturizer was not seeming to "cut it". My skin felt tight and dry and flaky all the time. I'm also approaching my mid-30's, so I thought a moisturizer with an anti-aging/wrinkle effect may be beneficial. So, I hopped on MUA and did a search and, based on the reviews for this product, I ran to Ulta and picked it up.
Sadly, after 1 month of use, I'm on the fence with this product...I won't give it a completely horrible review because it did have some good qualities, but....
Pros: It seems to moisturize well and makes my face feel really good (not tight, dry, and not overly-oily either). My cheeks feel super soft and smooth. My pore size on my cheeks seems to have gotten smaller, and my skin tone is definitely more even and seems to have a nice bit of a "glow" to it.
Cons: Since I started using this product, I have started breaking out like you would not believe....worse than I have ever broken out as an adult (I'm now 33). Big, infected, icky, sore, pus-filled pimples that continuously pop up literally in crops around my mouth, chin, and cheekbone areas. I typically have pretty clear skin and am only bothered by an occasional blemish, but I am all of a sudden breaking out like crazy. As soon as one pimple clears up, another pops up...and I am getting several at a time. They are so big and infected that they are taking days and days to dry up. Because of this, I have to heap a BP spot-treatment cream on these blemishes which is now making my skin blotchy and red in the areas I have to treat with BP. I am actually EMBARASSED by my skin right now, and I have not felt that way since I was 13 years old with hormonal teenage acne.
I really wanted to like this product, but I think it's back to Dermalogica I go until I find something else that works better for my skin.

I was recommended this product by my dermatologist, midway my acne treatment - and i don't think i've ever used anything that does exactly like it advertises, so quickly! it smoothens out your skin, giving a more even feel to it. i've been using it for the anti-blemish properties, but the anti-wrinkle part comes as a bonus. i've noticed a visible reduction in my post-acne marks (but that could be down to the other acne medications i've been taking). i absolutely love this product and will continue on with usage permanently. one tube of cream has lasted me nearly 2-and-a-half months, well worth the money (thats why i gave it a three-star for price).

I grabbed this off the shelf because Meijer didn't have what I actually wanted, and I needed a moisturizer badly. I am so pleasantly surprised. This makes my skin feel so soft, and I'm young enough that I'm not really dealing with wrinkles, but it does make my skin look smoother. The biggest reason I will continue to pay $13 for 1 oz. of product is this: I have had these hard, mystery bumps appear on my chin that do not pop, and I can't stop myself from picking at. If I even scratch them a little bit, they scab, darken, and raise (probably should get them looked at). BUT after using this cream, they've flattened all the way out, and they're barely noticeable. With the exception of the occasional single-zit occurrence, my face is always smooth, soft, and glowing.

I have been using Neutrogena's Anti-Wrinkle cream religiously for 6 years but needed something to treat pimples since my skin's been acting up lately. After trying the Clear Skin cream I'm officially a convert. Overnight, my skin texture was much smoother, pores diminished, skin color healthy and glowing, and a swollen cystic pimple on my chin was reduced to half its size. I had some bumps (soon to become pimples) on my forehead, cheeks, and chin yesterday but today they were flattened. I really hope that my skin won't get used to this moisturizer because it's working really well for me. I've been using what's left of my Anti-Wrinkle cream on my eyes, since I think the salicylic acid in the clear skin cream would be too drying/irritating for the eye area. The only downside of this cream is that it has no SPF so I have to use a separate sunscreen.

I've been using this at night for I guess two months now and I feel like it's making my skin worse. Before I was only using Clinique's Acne Solutions Face and Body Bar and my skin looked better than it had in years. I thought I would get even better results with this added to my night routine.
I know with any new acne treatment you start your skin may get worse before it gets better, but after so many weeks or months with no good results you kind of have to admit that the product sucks. I'm going to keep using this for another few weeks but if I continue getting constant numerous breakouts like I have now then I will have to stop. Not saying this is a horrible product, it just won't work for everybody.

I am really happy with this product. I ran out to buy it based on the reviews here and so far my skin looks alot better. I felt like my skin looked dull and I always seem to have a breakout. So I thought that this would help in both areas. I have to say that I see a glow and luminousity and a more youthful appearance to my skin. I put this on at night after I wash my face and in the morning I just moisturize. My pores look tighter and the fine lines are hardly there anymore. I'm definitely going to keep using this!!

Im actually using the CVS version of the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle, Anti-Blemish Cream. I've been using now for nearly 2 weeks. So far Im impressed. The CVS version has the same ingredients with the same percentages as the neutrogena brand and it's a few bucks cheaper. This product also has a very pleasant smell. I put it on once per day under my makeup. My skin is EXTREMELY oily - in fact, after a few hours, I have to dab my face with tissue to absorb some of the oil - it's insane. This product, in the short amount of time I've been using it, works. My skin is clearing up, becoming more youthful in appearance and smoother - my tone seems to be evening back out. My skin feels tighter too! I have very acne prone skin, the sebum and oil builds up in my already oversized pores and one thing leads to another and before you know it, my skin looks nasty, oily and I can push the sebum out of the skin on my nose, on my chin, it looks like little white worms when you push them out. It's gross, I know. This product seems to be helping with this problem. I'll keep you posted

I'm disappointed. I bought this based on reviews, and I thought it would be a great 2-in-1 product. I didn't really have acne or blemishes to speak of, but I thought the salicylic acid and retinol would provide clarity to my skin and prevent wrinkles. What I got instead were several blemishes where the cream was applied, and my skin is normally clear. At first I didn't blame the product and kept using it, and the blemishes persisted. I've now stopped and am allowing my skin to clear up.
My husband also tried to use this, and within a couple days, he got large, deep blemishes on different spots of his face, even though he has clear, but oily, skin.
I had also broken out from another retinol moisturizer in the past, so maybe retinols just don't work for me. I don't know. I'm giving up on this stuff and sticking with sunblock and grapeseed oil.

I quit smoking in July and have been on a quest to improve my skin and make a new start. I have normal skin, olive complexion. I suffered from cystic acne in my teens and then mixed, spotty skin until I went on Accutane at 28. Since then I've stayed out of the sun, but have smoked intermittently.
To counteract fine lines I've been using RoC Correxion serum at night and Neutrogena Ageless Intensives spf 30 moisturizer in the day. After about a month I noticed that my tone was even and my pores were reduced. But when I began using the Anti-Wrinkle/Anti-Blemish creme at night, my skin improved drastically. I love it because:
-no dryness
-markedly improved tone
-pores seem reduced over a period of about 2 weeks
-rosy glow
-my skin is so soft!
I don't think this will reduce age/sun spots, but otherwise I think this is excellent value for money. My new HG and I want to shout about it! :)

Philip and the employment law team at Landau Law have a high success rate in negotiating settlements with employers, with significant skills built up over 17 years. Where there is no existing offer of a settlement agreement, an amicable resolution with your employer can often be achieved without the issue of proceedings. This is possible following our engaging with employers from top level negotiations with senator HR personnel or the company lawyers, downwards solely in this area. In short, we know what we are doing.
If you already have an existing offer which you are not happy with, we will discuss with you what is potentially achievable by way of negotiation and the relevant process. If on the other hand it is necessary to issue proceedings, a constant attempt will still be made to resolve the dispute with your employer at the same time as moving your case forward.
