Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
I've tried many current production and nos tubes, but these always kick a__. For all the comments out there stating these are just JJ's...maybe so--but they're obviously tested and matched for distortion parameters that really make an amp sing and sustain.Do yourself a favor. Spend the extra 20, and get what you really wanted---TONE!
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
I gave this tube all 5's because of what it can do for a silverface Fender amp. Lots of Guys pass those over becuase they have such high clean headroom. If you've used an SF, you know that you have to crank it up all the way to start getting break up. This 6L6S can really help with that flaw. These tubes break up very early without going over the edge at high volumes. At half power you getting what other types deliver on 10 but the sound dosent flab out on these if you do go all the way up. Try these before paying for all the mods. In fact,If you use these 6L6S on your Silverface, with some DiMarzio Super Distortion HB's and a good Hi gain preamp set of Tubes (I recommend Tung Sol or JJ 12AX7)you might not have to speand the money on amp mods.The Super Distortion pickups were MADE to over drive those clean 70's tube amps.
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
The 6L6 may be the best sounding class of tube when over driven.. and the GT 6L6S does it best. In fact this thing pretty much sounds over driven at any volume, so its perfect for electic blues. Think johnny winter. This is the slovakian made 6l6 WHICH I CANNOT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE. If you have an Epi blues custom or a fender "tweed" type that wants 6l6 tubes, you probably want the sound these tubes deliver. Take out the stock 5AR4 and drop a slightly lower voltage rectifier (like a 5AU4 or even a 5Y3GT) and experience the love.
Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6L6-S Matched Power Tubes:
These tubes are awful. I used them in a hot rod deluxe to replace old Groove tube Bs and biased them and everything but after comparing them to the originals I thought I had to replace they were much fuller, especially in the distortion. These tubes are noisier too.

42 U.S. Code § 1487 - Rural Housing Insurance Fund
(a) Authority to make and insure loans for housing and buildings on adequate farms; amounts
The Secretary may insure loans meeting the requirements of section 1472 of this title, and may make loans in accordance with the requirements of such section to be sold and insured. The amount of such a loan to a low income person or family shall not exceed the amount necessary to provide adequate housing which is modest in size, design, and cost (as determined by the Secretary).
(b) Authority to make and insure loans for housing and related facilities for domestic farm labor and elderly persons; transfer of notes, contracts, and mortgages from Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund; compensation
The Secretary may insure loans in accordance with the requirements of section 1484 of this title (exclusive of subsections (a)(3), (a)(5), and (b) thereof), 1485 of this title (exclusive of subsections (a) and (b)(3) thereof), 1490d, and 1490f of this title, and may make loans meeting such requirements to be sold and insured. Upon the expiration of ninety days after the original capitalization of the Rural Housing Insurance Fund, created by subsection (e) of this section, no new loans shall be made or insured under section 1484 or 1485 (b) of this title, except in conformity with this section. The notes held in the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund (section 1929 of title 7) which evidence loans made or insured by the Secretary under section 1484 or 1485 (b) of this title, the rights and liabilities of that Fund under insurance contracts relating to such loans held by insured investors, the mortgages securing the obligations of the borrowers under such loans held in the Fund or by insured investors, and all rights to subsequent collections on and proceeds of such notes, contracts, and mortgages, are hereby transferred to the Rural Housing Insurance Fund and for the purposes of this subchapter and any other Act shall be subject to the provisions of this section as if created pursuant thereto. The Rural Housing Insurance Fund shall compensate the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund for the aggregate unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest of the notes so transferred.
(c) Use of funds from Rural Housing Insurance Fund for loans; sale of insured and guaranteed loans to public
The Secretary may use the Rural Housing Insurance Fund for the purpose of making loans to be sold and insured under this section. Any loan made and sold by the Secretary under this section after April 7, 1986 (and any loan made by other lenders under this subchapter that is insured or guaranteed in accordance with this section, is purchased by the Secretary, and is sold by the Secretary under this section after such date) shall be sold to the public and may not be sold to the Federal Financing Bank, unless such sale to the Federal Financing Bank is required to service transactions under this subchapter between the Secretary and the Federal Financing Bank occurring on or before such date.
(d) Authority to insure payment of interest and principal; liens; assignability of notes evidencing loans; interest subsidy on insured and guaranteed loans offered for sale to public; protection of borrowers under loans sold to public
(1) The Secretary may, in conformity with subsections (a), (b), and (m) of this section, insure the payment of principal and interest on loans made by lenders other than the United States, and on loans made from or otherwise acquired by the Rural Housing Insurance Fund which are sold by the Secretary. Any contract of insurance executed by the Secretary hereunder shall be an obligation supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and shall be incontestable except for fraud or material misrepresentation of which the holder has actual knowledge. In connection with loans insured under this section, the Secretary may take liens running to the United States notwithstanding the fact that the notes evidencing such loans may be held by lenders other than the United States. Notes evidencing such loans shall be freely assignable, but the Secretary shall not be bound by any such assignment until notice thereof is given to and acknowledged by him.
(2) Each loan made by the Secretary or other lenders under this subchapter that is insured or guaranteed in accordance with this subsection shall, when offered for sale to the public, be accompanied by an agreement by the Secretary to pay to the holder of such loan (through an agreement to purchase such loan or through such other means as the Secretary determines to be appropriate) the difference between the rate of interest paid by the borrower of such loan and the market rate of interest (as determined by the Secretary) on obligations having comparable periods to maturity on the date of such sale.
(3) Each loan made by the Secretary or other lenders under this subchapter that is insured or guaranteed in accordance with this subsection shall, when offered for sale to the public, be accompanied by agreements for the benefit of the borrower under the loan that provide that—
(A) the purchaser or any assignee of the loan shall not diminish any substantive or procedural right of the borrower arising under this subchapter;
(B) upon any substantial default of the borrower, but prior to foreclosure, the loan shall be assigned to the Secretary for the purpose of avoiding foreclosure; and
(C) following any assignment under subparagraph (B) and before commencing any action to foreclose or otherwise dispossess the borrower, the Secretary shall afford the borrower all substantive and procedural rights arising under this subchapter, including consideration for interest subsidy, moratorium, reamortization, refinancing, and appeal of any adverse decision to an impartial officer.
(e) Rural Housing Insurance Fund; creation; authorization of appropriations; separate operation of guaranteed and insured loan programs: transfer of funds
There is hereby created the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (hereinafter referred to as the "Fund") which shall be used by the Secretary as a revolving fund for carrying out the provisions of this section. There are authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary such sums as may be necessary for the purposes of the Fund. The guaranteed loan program under this subchapter shall be operated separately from the insured loan program operated under this subchapter and no funds designated for one program may be transferred to another program.
(f) Investment of excess Fund moneys
Money in the Fund not needed for current operations shall be invested in direct obligations of the United States or obligations guaranteed by the United States.
(g) Fund assets and liabilities; sale of loans; agreements for servicing and purchasing loans
All funds, claims, notes, mortgages, contracts, and property acquired by the Secretary under this section, and all collections and proceeds therefrom, shall constitute assets of the Fund; and all liabilities and obligations of such assets shall be liabilities and obligations of the Fund. Loans may be held in the Fund and collected in accordance with their terms or may be sold by the Secretary with or without agreements for insurance thereof. The Secretary is authorized to make agreements with respect to servicing loans held or insured by him under this section and purchasing such insured loans on such terms and conditions as he may prescribe.
(h) Issuance of notes; form and denominations; interest rate; purchase by Secretary of the Treasury; debt transactions
The Secretary is authorized to issue notes to the Secretary of the Treasury to obtain funds necessary for discharging obligations under this section and for authorized expenditures out of the Fund, but, except as may be authorized in appropriation Acts, not for the original or any additional capital of the Fund. Such notes shall be in such form and denominations and have such maturities and be subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. Each note shall bear interest at the average rate, as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, payable by the Treasury upon its marketable public obligations outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year in which such note is issued, which are neither due nor callable for redemption for fifteen years from their date of issue. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to purchase any notes of the Secretary issued hereunder, and for that purpose the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use as a public debt transaction the proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of title 31, and the purposes for which such securities may be issued under such chapter are extended to include purchases of notes issued by the Secretary. All redemption, purchases, and sales by the Secretary of the Treasury of such notes shall be treated as public debt transactions of the United States. The notes issued by the Secretary to the Secretary of the Treasury shall constitute obligations of the Fund.
(i) Retention of annual charge; administrative expenses; merger of funds
The Secretary may retain out of interest payments by the borrower an annual charge in an amount specified in the insurance or sale agreement applicable to the loan. Of the charges retained by the Secretary, if any, not to exceed 1 per centum per annum of the unpaid balance of the loan shall be deposited in the Fund. Any retained charges not deposited in the Fund shall be available for administrative expenses in carrying out the provisions of this subchapter, to be transferred annually, and become merged with any appropriation for administrative expenses of the Farmers Home Administration, when and in such amounts as may be authorized in appropriation Acts.
(j) Additional uses of Fund moneys
The Secretary may also utilize the Fund—
(1) to pay amounts to which the holder of the note is entitled in accordance with an insurance or sale agreement under this section accruing between the date of any payment by the borrower to the Secretary and the date of transmittal of any such payments to the holder of the note; and in the discretion of the Secretary, payments other than final payments need not be remitted to the holder until due or until the next agreed annual or semiannual remittance date;
(2) to pay the holder of any note insured under this section any defaulted installment or, upon assignment of the note to the Secretary at the Secretary's request, or pursuant to a purchase agreement, the entire balance outstanding on the note;
(3) to pay taxes, insurance, prior liens, expenses necessary to make fiscal adjustments in connection with the application and transmittal of collections or necessary to obtain credit reports on applicants or borrowers, and other services customary in the industry, independent audits of project expenses, construction inspections, commercial appraisals, servicing of loans, and other related program services and expenses, and other expenses and advances to protect the security for loans which are insured under this section or held in the Fund, and to acquire such security property at foreclosure sale or otherwise;
(5) after October 1, 1977, and as approved in appropriations Acts, to make advances authorized by section 1471 (e) of this title;
(6) to make payments and take other actions in accordance with agreements entered into under paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (d) of this section; and
(k) Sale of loans as sale of assets
Any sale by the Secretary of loans individually or in blocks, pursuant to subsections (c) and (g) of this section, shall be treated as a sale of assets for the purposes of chapter 11 of title 31, notwithstanding the fact that the Secretary, under an agreement with the purchaser, holds the debt instruments evidencing the loans and holds or reinvests payments thereon as trustee and custodian for the purchaser.
(l) Commitments to make or insure loans to lenders, builders, or sellers; terms and conditions
The Secretary may also, upon the application of lenders, builders, or sellers and upon compliance with requirements specified by him, make commitments upon such terms and conditions as he shall prescribe to make or insure loans under this section to eligible applicants.
(m) Transfer of assets, liabilities, and authorizations of Rural Housing Direct Loan Account to Fund; abolition of Account; applicability of provisions
The assets and liabilities of, and authorizations applicable to, the Rural Housing Direct Loan Account are hereby transferred to the Fund, and such Account is hereby abolished. Such assets and their proceeds, including loans made out of the Fund pursuant to this section, shall be subject to all of the provisions of this section.
(n) Purchase of eligible residential properties
(o) Rules to encourage rehabilitation or purchase of existing buildings; regulations to facilitate marketability of insured or guaranteed loans in secondary mortgage market
(1) The Secretary shall promulgate rules which encourage the rehabilitation or purchase of existing buildings for the purpose of providing housing which is economical in cost and operation.
(2) Not later than the expiration of the 90-day period following April 7, 1986, the Secretary shall issue regulations to facilitate the marketability in the secondary mortgage market of loans insured or guaranteed under this section.

|Explanations of the symbols
|Chart of the moment
As a cardinal water sign, a useful image for Cancer is water moving powerfully in one direction or another, such as rivers and waterfalls and waves. I think the key to this sign is its tidal nature, since it is ruled by the Moon, which is constantly waxing or waning and rules the ebb and flow of the tides. Physically, Cancer rules the breasts and the stomach, the functions of giving out nourishment to others and taking in nourishment for oneself. As long as the ebb and flow are kept in some kind of balance, this sign tends to function positively.
When the tide is coming in, Cancerians can be sociable, generous and loving, crazy, lunatic and exuberant. When the tide is going out the Cancerian will retreat and you will get nothing but the shell. You can knock on the shell but there is nobody there. In common with all the water signs, there is something very private about this sign. Cancerians will hide under rocks and not respond, except under duress, when they are likely to be extremely crabby and touchy. The Cancerian Marcel Proust, whose life can be described as falling into two major tides, spent the first half of his life as a socialite, and the second half of his life as a recluse in a padded apartment in Paris, during which time he wrote his famous book, The Remembrance of Things Past, which is full of references to his mother and to memories of food. This is an extremely sensitive sign with strong emotional connections to the past, not just the personal past but an interest in the origins and roots of all things. Cancerians can do nostalgia better than any other sign.
It is not unusual for Cancerians to get stuck at one extreme end of the spectrum. At the all-nurturing, all-giving, all-providing, all-self sacrificing end of this tidal spectrum, there is often a shadow side which is full of resentment and self pity. Alternatively, the all-demanding, dependent, needy, vulnerable end of the spectrum is too much for most people to cope with, which will reinforce the sense of abandonment and dependency and the Cancerian will become even more emotionally demanding and clingy. Cancerians can also be masters of emotional blackmail, along the lines of: 'If you don't eat my food, it means you don't love me'.
The positive integration of Saturn and Mars, which are in their detriment and fall in Cancer, can help the Cancerian to develop the strength to stand on their own feet (Saturn) and to stand up for themselves (Mars). As a cardinal sign, Cancer is extremely tenacious and determined and, like a crab, tends to approach its goals subtly and invisibly and, when nobody else is looking, get what it wants to the surprise of all.
Audience: What is the meaning of the Jupiter exaltation in Cancer?
Clare: Ultimately, the sense of belonging which is such a feature of this sign reaches beyond the personal clan to greater connections to community, society, country, to ancestors and back into history. Water is impersonal; it is just as likely, and a great deal safer, for a Cancerian to draw their strength not from their personal mother or family, but from a deep emotional connection to Mother Earth herself. Jupiter expands, and in this sense Cancerians can often find meaning through a sense of belonging to something which is much larger than the personal family.
Audience: My son is a Cancerian, and I never feel that I really know him. I can never get to his centre.
Clare: It sounds as if you are trying to force his shell open, which is unlikely to succeed. Cancer is immensely protective and self-protective. The strength of this cardinal water sign is that it achieves its goals quietly and subtly. It is prepared to wait for the tide, or until everybody else has lost interest. I suspect that your son doesn't want you to penetrate into his soft centre, which he will only reveal in his own time and on his own terms. Most of the time he is likely to throw up smoke screens as a way of defending himself.
Audience: But why won't he ever give me a straight answer to a straight question?
Clare: Do you, by any chance, have a strong air emphasis in your chart? Yes, I thought so. This is a good example of the tension between the opposite elements of air and water. You won't get a straight answer because your son is a water sign. You will get deflection, deviation and changing the subject, and you will get a lot of other stuff, but what is really happening is that you are not getting the answer. This is not accidental, but an example of a watery defensive mechanism working powerfully.
Audience: I thought that Cancerians were very trusting.
Clare: I don't think so. My feeling is that this sign naturally tends not to trust unless it is absolutely safe to do so. On the other hand it is normally safe to trust the past and to trust memories.
Planets in Cancer
Sally has Mars in Cancer, so this will describe how she asserts and defends herself. This is an extremely self-protective placement, and Sally is likely to protect her own feelings very strongly. Although this planet is traditionally in its fall in Cancer, it also describes the kind of fierce aggression with which a mother will protect her young. In the animal world no other animals will take on the mother with cubs because she will fight to the death to protect them. If we can find the right relationship to this placement of Mars, there is nothing weak about it at all.
Audience: I have Uranus in Cancer, and I have certainly rebelled against my family and even against my country, since I left the US when I was eighteen. As soon as I could, basically.
Clare: Yes, that is an excellent example of a generational issue. Uranus was in Cancer from June 1949 until August 1955, with a brief period back in Cancer between January and June 1956. A kind of shorthand for Uranus in the chart is to ask, 'What is it that we don't believe in?', or 'Where do we feel cut off?' Uranus in Cancer refers to a particular group of people who, in general terms, don't believe in family, in belonging or in any kind of biological containment. Any kind of nest will make Uranus in Cancer panic. Many people with Uranus in Cancer actually dislike their relatives and simply don't want to be involved with their family. They will leave home or travel to another country as soon as possible.
The Uranus in Cancer generation often feel like strangers in their own family or in their own culture, and the urge will be to challenge the status quo or to escape. There is a kind of double bind to this. On the one hand, as a generation there is an urge to break down the old patterns and habits, rebel against the restrictions and limitations of family and culture and seek to find new ways to belong which are not genetically or historically programmed. This generation will seek to make new connections based on intellectual honesty and shared minds and new ways of living. The Uranus in Cancer generation, for example, has tended to reject the values and religious traditions of their own cultures, finding it much easier to adopt the religious and philosophical traditions of cultures other than their own. Before 1949 we could even say that the 'nuclear family' was the rock upon which societies and cultures were built, and that it was not until Uranus entered Cancer that this began to be challenged. Nowadays, of course, we take the fragmentation and breakdown of the family unit for granted, and one-parent families are now the norm.
On the other hand, from a personal point of view, this fragmentation can be immensely painful because, as ordinary human beings, it is hard for us to feel alienated from our biological and cultural roots. Taken to extremes, this placement can lead to a refusal to belong to any group at all or, as Groucho Marx famously remarked, to any club which will have us as a member, which means that we can be in a state of rejection and refusal which traps us just as much as being caught within a family clan. This is an example of the way our Uranian ideology can trap and imprison us. We can find ourselves rebelling against and pushing away any intimacy and containment which, on one level, is anathema to us but which, on an ordinary, human, lunar level we desperately need. If there are other planets in Cancer as well as Uranus, then a tension is set up because you are part of a generation that wants to destroy the very thing you need on a personal level.
The point I am trying to make here is that, unless we can make some kind of conscious relationship to the generational issues we are all born into, then we are at their mercy. At its most dangerous, Uranus is 'group think', blind, collective ideology. This can result in an identification with some kind of external ideology which has never been taken down in voltage, internalized or brought down to a human scale. We need a strong ego structure in order to find our own relationship to the collective forces if we are not to be possessed by them.
Audience: I have Uranus in Cancer, and as soon as I went to university my parents sold the family house and moved to the other side of the country. I found that devastating.
Audience: I find that as I get older, my family gets more important.
Clare: Perhaps at last, now that you have a strong enough sense of yourself and a good strong ego structure, it is safe to get closer to them without being overwhelmed. There is no doubt that with Uranus and Cancer you can be the positive carrier of necessary change and honest truthfulness, which your family can benefit from considerably.
Audience: Does that mean that the current generation who are being born with Uranus in Aquarius will be against ideologies?
Clare: Well, that would be a logical assumption, but I suppose we will have to wait and see.

Though we used to spend our summers weaving lanyards or playing capture the flag, these days we are more excited about chasing down information requested by our savvy fans to feature in our bi-monthly story, What Was She Wearing: Answers! For today's edition, we've gathered an exceptional group of well-dressed young ladies who will no doubt satisfy your daily fashion fix. Though the highlighted looks hail from disparate locations ranging from a Beverly Hills boutique to a London lawn party, all of our lovelies share one common thread: you, dear readers, needed to know all about their refreshingly unique ensembles! As always, we are fully equipped with all the particulars regarding your pressing clothing inquiries and are pleased to present our detailed discoveries for your entertainment. The only thing we ask in return is that you keep the requests coming, and we will be happy campers!
Kate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth was all smiles after catching a concert at the Hollywood Bowl this month. While notably there to take in performances from talented artists such as Jenny Lewis and Ray LaMontagne, it was her ensemble that left you asking for an encore! A WhoWhatWear.com reader favorite, the always-inspiring Bosworth looked as chic and effortless as ever, donning an unfussy floral frock. Thankfully, her Silence & Noise Floral Tunic ($42) is not only adorable, but it's also just as easy on the wallet as it is on the eyes! Bosworth chose to pair her flower-powered pick with a shimmery Chanel handbag, similar to Nordstrom's Quilted Mini Bag ($128), and rounded out her look with Topshop's Mika Woven Lace-Up Flats (sadly, her exact pair is no longer available). As previously spotlighted in last week's footwear-focused accessory report, unisex shoes are back in a big way and most deserving of your attention. Get an equally on-trend style via Steve Madden's Melin Brogues ($100) in Cognac or Dru NY's Oxfords ($148)-both are very similar versions of Bosworth's lace-up flats and are sure to keep your soles looking chic.
Nicky Hilton
Nicky Hilton is emblematic of a certain kind of on-trend LA-style, and always looks characteristically cool; however, today, we are putting her outfit front and center, because you, dear readers, were quite enamored by her polished afternoon attire! Hilton's ability to mix breezy pieces with classic staples is always interesting and, in this case, quite inspirational. While running errands in sunny Los Angeles, Hilton combined Seneca Rising's Lamson Dress ($110) with Givenchy's Cutout Sandals ($979) and a boxy Goyard handbag. For an equally laid-back option, try Seneca Rising's Mesh Mini Dress
($110) Michael Stars' Scoop Tank Dress ($68) with N.Y.L.A.'s Lacerta Pumps ($105)-a budget-friendly dead ringer for Hilton's sought-after footwear choice. Though her custom Goyard bag is certainly an enviable investment piece, we recommend ASOS' Color Block Tote ($48), which is a look-a-like rendition of this fashion frontrunner's high-end carryall.
Emma Roberts
As evidenced by the number of Emma Roberts-focused emails in our inbox, it's clear that this young starlet is quickly developing a broad fashion fan base-and for good reason! Roberts chose a strong-shouldered, military-inspired cropped coat from Louis Vuitton's spring collection as her statement piece to wear to a Vanity Fair party hosted by Louis Vuitton in Beverly Hills. She kept her look youthful by tempering the formality of her Scoop Net Jacket ($11250, 866.884.8866) with a more casual bottom-specifically, Current/Elliott's The Skinny Jeans ($279) in Brass Stud Wash. The edgy detailing on the jeans is the perfect accent to dress up denim for an evening event, though these would look just as sharp with your favorite band t-shirt for any daytime activities. Get a similar assemblage by mixing Alloy's Cropped Military Jacket ($55), which mimics the silhouette and button-front of Roberts' designer duds, with Theory's Bram Tank Top ($66) and Calvin Klein's Cora Open Toe Pumps ($98). All in all, we love the Hotel for Dogs actress' age-appropriate yet fashion forward taste and look forward to the next time we see her out and about!
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Though it would be easy to dislike model and former GOTM Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for looking as good off duty as she does when on the job, we certainly won't hold it against her! The British beauty, seen here at London's Serpentine Gallery party, showed us a thing or two about how to wisely tackle the heat in a bias-cut vintage maxi dress. Flawless in a violet silk frock, Huntington-Whiteley yet again wowed us with her unique selection that looked retro without seeming too costumey or over-the-top. For a similarly divine alternative, try Dolce Vita's Fanny Dress ($165) as the base of your look, then throw on an embellished jacket for a little flair. Huntington-Whiteley wore a Topshop Jacket, similar to their Sequin Trophy Jacket ($170), though we suggest that you search your favorite local thrift shop for a like-minded piece (any beaded or sequined eighties outerwear option culled from your mom's closet will also do the trick quite nicely)! -Kelly Agnew

Being a part of the Q-106.5 Morning Show with JR Mitchell has made some positive changes in my life. First, I get to have a blast every morning at work! If our listeners laugh half as much as JR and I do, then we're doing our jobs right. And second, it means I'm home in the afternoons! I can spend time with my super-spoiled Jack Russell/Chocolate Lab mix, Copernicus, who's one of the loves of my life. And with the other one, my boyfriend Jim (once he gets out of work!) I have a new passion to go with my loves of books, movies, and metal detecting....fishing! I love it! Once I'd caught my first (ever) fish, I knew it was something I want to do a lot of. And I have! I hope you'll join us on the Q-106.5 Morning Show with JR and Cindy (me!), and stick around as I bring you the 90's at Nine and Maine's Best Country from 9 til 10!

Attraction Details :
Phuket was one of the major Peranakan Chinese cultural centrals, along with Singapore, Malacca and Penang, thanks to the dramatic growing of tin mining business in early 19th century, luring in a large number of Chinese merchants from the China mainland. It was led to the constructions of Sino-Portuguese mansions and shophouses in the Phuket town. These buildings were the residence of tin mine tycoons, and their descendants, featuring unique Peranakan architectural styles. Each shophouse look narrow from the front but its space spans as long as ten meters or more to the back, making there's a vast space to accommodate a lot of people. Walk along the roads of Dibuk, Phang-Nga, Yaowarat, Thalang and Krabi to admire the beauty of crafted facade of the remaining shophouses. Some of them are now open as a boutique hotel you can also try lodging. For an in-depth history of Peranakan culture in Phuket, you might want to pay a visit to Phuket Thai Hua Museum.

Your section on businesses that are owned by women in Carbon County (Sun Advocate, Oct. 30, 2008) was very good to see and read.
Fifty years ago it would have been men that owned 90 percent of the businesses in the area, now women are instrumental in many successful businesses in the community.
This bodes well for a community that will be growing from now on. We need the state economic development board to work closely with our Carbon County economic director to bring more industries to our county soon.
However, our existing industries can also be expanded and I believe that 2009 could be a very good year for our county. If the Lila Canyon Mine opens it will have a big impact on our area. Based on recent articles in the Sun Advocate, the company that owns Lila Canyon mine are doing all that are required by the state and federal government to get it open.
Carbon County needs to be prepared for the growth this will bring to us.

Even though I am home working on my own schedule, I still live for the weekends. This is because I get to walk the dog without pushing a stroller up Wood Hill. I am free to explore the single track bike trail with my dog.
I love the bike trail. It winds in the Junipers and sage. It goes in and out of grassy fields and overlooks Carbonville in several spots. I have my own names for different areas of the trail, Cow Rib Crossing and Elk Leg corner are just two of the spots.
The trail appears to be used a lot, but I seldom encounter anyone. I usually go early to avoid the bikers on the trail. It is nice to walk in solitude. When I am out on the road, the human encounters are much more frequent and not always pleasant. Once in a while someone speeds by on the gravel road, chewing up dirt and dust making it hard to breath for a few minutes.
On the trail there always is a sort of log of the activity that has happened since the last time I walked. Most of the time my old foot prints are obliterated by bike tracks. I can tell if they were good riders or not by how much swerving they do and if they stay on the trail in the curves. Sometimes there is evidence of other walkers on the trail. Once in a while another dog is along, too. Mine leaves monster prints so I can tell when it is a different dog.
I also see the tracks of rabbits, deer and coyotes. It is really fun to walk the trail when the tracks are fresh. I have encountered many rabbits and a few coyotes. The deer are harder to spot. A week ago five ran across the top of Wood Hill just before we made it to the top. My dog was busy munching down someone's garbage they had thrown out of their car and didn't notice them. I was glad. I don't want her to chase wildlife.
I have directed many people to the bike trail this summer who were from out of town and had stopped into the bike shop looking for hiking and biking trails in our area. Luke's bike trail is a bit tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area.
We need more trails in our area. We have the Helper Parkway. Price has a new short one at the park at the end of Third East. It is nice and paved asphalt so you can push a stroller or wheelchair on it. It is difficult to get to from the parking area to the trail though.
We need designated trails for motorized and non motorized use. There needs to be a combination of urban, paved trails and non urban nature trails. They need to be well marked and accessible to both local and others looking for an outlet to recreate.
I know there is a fear with private land owners about vandalism to their land if a trail is next to it. On Luke's trail the only trash is where the trail intersects the many roads that run through the area. The trash is usually around a fire pit and lots of vehicle tire tracks. In my opinion the trashiest areas of Wood Hill are the ones accessible by road and not frequented by walkers.
I think that having trail system that people will use and are proud of will decrease the ability of some to dump and party illegally. But then again that is only my opinion.
We need to give thanks to those who have worked on our trails that we do have in place. Let's keep going in the right direction.

Hope everyone had a great holiday! Mine was pretty eventful. For one, I made this pretty great sweet potato salad. For two, I had stuffing that I enjoyed for the first time in my life. And finally, I played some pool with a random homeless guy at my local pool hall (I lost $5 but hey, he earned it). What more could I ask for?

Namibia's open source based SchoolNet project provides computer labs to schools all across the country. Some are in very remote locations that are not traditionally suitable for this type of technology. It has been quite successful and has won many international awards.
SchoolNet was recently mentioned in a post on the forums, and I was interested to learn more. I eventually managed to get in contact Uwe Thiem, SchoolNet's network administrator, who was willing to answer a few questions by email.
His views on the fundamental prerequisites for the successful deployment of technology in education are insightful. Here is the OpenFree exclusive interview.
OF: What is SchoolNet? How does it get funding and equipment?
Uwe: SchoolNet Namibia is an organization not for gain. It's funding mostly comes from donations from Europe, the US and Canada.
OF: How do you plan for, install and support the addition of a new school to the system? What are the usual challenges you face with each new school and how do you overcome them?
Uwe: In collaboration with the Ministry for Education, SchoolNet compiles a list of schools that should be served next. Secondary schools have priority. Other criteria are whether the schools are on our national power grid and have access either to telephone or the wireless WAN Telecom Namibia set up in the north of our country where about 50% of the population lives.
Solar power is an option for very remote schools. Since this is a very expensive solution, computer labs on solar power are an exception.
As for the challenges, there must be a room that is freely accessible by students - the school library, an extra room or some such. When the lab isn't used for formal training/education, students must be able to use the lab on their own.
OF: Why did SchoolNet choose to use the OpenLab Linux distribution?
Uwe: Computer labs for schools aren't primarily about technology but about content, information and educational software. While the core OpenLab distribution fits on one CD, the content distributed to schools is now filling up almost 2 DVDs. OpenLab was more than willing to compile, set up and test the content.
SchoolNet's labs now contain among other things:
A local copy of Project Gutenberg. Since most school libraries are almost non-existent, Project Gutenberg is a means to provide students with literature from all over the world.
A local text-only copy of Wikipedia that amounts to about 16GB installed.
Bandwidth is very expensive in southern Africa in general and in Namibia in particular. The local copy of Wikipedia therefore is invaluable.
Educational comics, educational software about mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, spelling, logic.
OF: What is a typical computer configuration?
Uwe: All SchoolNet labs employ a server/thin client model. It consists of one new P4 server and 10 (in some cases up to 20) thin clients. Thin clients are re-furbished PII or PIII computers. All labs are based on the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP).
OF: Can SchoolNet schools function without permanent Internet access, and if so, how?
Of course it can. Thanks to the local content, there is plenty to do for students even without Internet access.
OF: How do the schools get access to the Internet?
Uwe: Telecom Namibia set up two wireless WANs in Namibia, one in Windhoek and one for the rural areas of northern Namibia. School are connected either through one of the wireless WANs or by telephone lines and modem. SchoolNet managed to negotiate a flat rate for both cases with Telecom. So even schools with modems can connect for a long time without worrying about telephone bills.
OF: What were the challenges in providing this?
Namibia is a large country with vast open spaces and a very low population density. Not all parts of it are on the national power grid or covered by wireless WANs or the telephone grid. So reaching those areas always is a challenge and will remain so for quite a while. When SchoolNet succeeded in convincing Telecom Namibia to donate some of its *national* bandwidth, it became feasible to connect a large number of schools (300+ so far) at an affordable fee.
OF: Before SchoolNet, Namibia's telephone and Internet services were controlled by a monopoly. How did SchoolNet manage to become an alternative ISP and what advice would you give to future educational projects around the world that hope to provide ISP services?
Uwe: Telecom Namibia still has a monopoly for telecommunications. SchoolNet is using their infrastructure. Other commcercial ISPs exist as well and have to use Telecom's national backbone and infrastructure.
OF: The "One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC) initiative has been getting a lot of coverage in the press recently. What is your opinion of the project?
Uwe: I am speaking for myself here. I don't believe in it. ICTs for education never are about technology only ore primarily. They always are about content. Those laptops are not equipped to store many GB of educational content. So without a network, they are glorified typewriters. How many CVs is a student going to write?
OF: Thanks Uwe. There is a lot of food for thought here.
Wow! That was unexpected. Thanks Peter!
I liked his view on the OLPC. The current version only has 500 MB of flash storage, it's not a lot. You can get now get 2GB USB sticks, so maybe they'll be able to expand the capacity, but the cost will be way beyond the $100 per laptop. Is there an external CD for it?
It was also interesting how they chose the Linux version. The one with the most flexible developers.
Great interview!. Thanks!
My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive.
Wikipedia says that the OLPC project purposely left out a CDROM drive. 500MB won't go very far. I agree with tuxette, they'll have to find a way to get some sort of USB storage addon for it to be useful.
Sandisk now has a 4GB usb drive, but it's retailing at $199. Even with a 50% discount, it matches the price of the laptop. The 512MB model goes for $39.99, so I guess OLPC is getting the existing flash at a dirt cheap price to meet the almost $100 target price.
That comic book SchoolNet uses must really break the ice with the user community. It's well done. I was surprised. Took a little time to download the page though. I wish I had something like that when I bought my first computer too. Tech manuals are OK, but a picture is worth a thousand words. The comic also talks about computer care and community responsibility. I'm a little cynical about those things, but it's a good start. The project seems to have been around for a little time so something must be working right.
We got 3 Diggs!

Whoopee! So this was our little exclusive?
It was interesting to see how they tried to keep things simple. Some times "good enough" is really what's needed.
P.S. We now have 4 Diggs.
Although the 500mb sounds small, realize this isnt a superduper desktop replacement. This is for email, chat, web browsing, and homework. This isnt a video editor, holder for your terabyte of music or setting up a warez tracker.
If the need for more is there, thats why there are USB ports, for that 2gb stick or whatnot.

By KEN LARSONSun Advocate publisher
There's no question that we are in a drought and with that a certain amount of awareness has been brought up in everyone's minds abut the lack of water. Stories and editorials have been printed in many sources asking for efforts to conserve water.
I interviewed Gary Sonntag, Price City Engineer on Friday, along with three members of his public works staff who deal with irrigation. They outlined their responsibilities and the process of how irrigation water gets to the 178 people who have irrigation rights within the city of Price.
There are a number of things I understand better following the interview, one of which is the irrigation water that runs throughout the city's gutter system so delivery can be made to those that use it..
The gutters are actually used in the process of getting the water from ditch to ditch. I also see city crews every morning cleaning debris from the gutters and grates.
As more questions were asked and more information given I found that many people in the city have been using the water that is running down the gutters as an alternative means for getting rid of grass clippings and tree products.
The crew explained that it is a continual process cleaning up these lawn and garden remains as well as cleaning up the basic litter of cans and paper products. Day in and day out people continue to fill the streets and gutters with garbage.
As someone who has spent endless volunteer hours cleaning the ditches and areas near highways I just don't understand people who throw out their garbage, expecting others to pick up after them.
As I visited with Jim Valdez, who is the ditch master for the city irrigation program, he explained that it is his responsibility to maintain the water and to keep it so it doesn't interfere with other property owner's rights. He is on call 24-7 during irrigation season and is called out constantly to fix problems. These situations range from blocked ditches, to no water, to unauthorized persons using other people's water. The list is endless, but he continues to open and close ditches and work diligently so people who are paying for their irrigation water get it in a timely manner.
As ditch master he is there to monitor water flow and help maintain the program, not to enforce violations.
Because of the drought and the lack of water it seems the problems have increased. As I visited with Jim I was appauled by the treatment he gets from some people though he is just doing his job. He told me that people are constantly threatening him and causing him grief as he struggles to keep the water flowing.
It is hard for me to believe that something as simple as this would cause people to become violent and threaten others.
People should follow the golden rule when it comes to these problems. Shouldn't it be just plain consideration to let others do their jobs without trouble and to not make other peoples jobs harder than they need to be?

Thanks to a sweetened tax deal made with the town of LeRay, an Albany energy company is ready to retrofit a former coal plant at Fort Drum to produce biomass energy.
After rejecting the first payment-in-lieu-of-taxes proposal June 14, council members unanimously approved a new deal with ReEnergy LLC on Friday that includes payments from the company for sales tax revenue that the town would have lost, because the property will be removed from its tax roll under the five-year term from 2014 to 2018. The payments in lieu of sales tax will total $124,504 over the term.
The sales tax deal is a separate agreement negotiated between the town and ReEnergy; it will not change the terms of the original five-year tax break also approved by the town Friday. That PILOT agreement already was approved by the Jefferson County Board of Legislators on June 5 and Carthage Central School District on June 11.
Under the deal, ReEnergy will pay 50 percent of the property taxes it normally would have owed, on an average property assessment of $30 million a year. That will amount to $118,071 for the town over the five years, after which the full property tax will kick in.
At Fridays meeting, ReEnergy CEO Larry D. Richardson said the energy provider now is set to break ground on the conversion project within the next month, with the goal of finishing the plant by the start of next summer. The project is expected to create 33 jobs at the plant and 144 at lumber companies in the region, which will collect leftover forest material and convert it into wood chips that will fuel the plant.
This deal was an important part of the funding for the project, Mr. Richardson said. Were pleased that it addressed concerns the board had with sales tax issues. We knew it was a sensitive issue after the original vote and had dialogue with the town to work it out.
The plant will generate 60 megawatts of power, more than enough to fuel the 28-megawatt post. Adding to the to the coal- and wind-powered energy provided here, the plant is expected to be a stable source of green energy in the north country, ReEnergy facility manager William M. OReilly said. It will also meet the Armys goal to make its base operations more environmentally friendly.
By providing green energy to the post, Fort Drum will be ahead of the game, he said. It will also improve the posts standing if theres another round of base closures announced.
The project will be finished quickly, Mr. OReilly said, because most of the equipment that will be used already is installed.
We already have the boilers, turbines and steamers, so all of the changes were making will be for the fuel operation, he said, adding that the project could start in two weeks.
LeRay officials said Fridays decision may set a precedent for towns and villages that participate in PILOT negotiations in Jefferson County to follow. Right now, property such as ReEnergys becomes tax-exempt whenever a PILOT is enacted, reducing the sales tax revenue that municipalities receive from the county.
The countys 3.75 percent sales tax take is shared with the towns and villages. Jefferson County receives 47 percent, the city of Watertown gets 24 percent and the remaining 29 percent is divided among towns and villages based on their total taxable assessed value.
Councilman Samuel J. Biondolillo, who voted against the first proposal, said he was pleased that officials from the energy company addressed the town boards concerns about sales tax it would have lost. The plants assessment now is $10 million.
This issue has now been brought to light, and towns that negotiate future PILOTs will bring up the issue of sales tax, he said.
Although he originally voted in favor of the project, Supervisor Ronald C. Taylor said that he was pleased with how board members held their ground on the sales-tax issue. He said he hopes the decision will spur Jefferson County officials to restructure the way tax breaks work so that towns and villages wont lose sales tax revenue.
This wouldnt have been an issue if the county would have addressed it like we asked, he said. Unless county administrators change the sales-tax distribution for tax breaks, Im sure every town is going to get more involved in negotiations. The (county) needs to address the issue.
Steven T. Harter, administrative clerk to the supervisor, led the effort to bring into the limelight the sales-tax issue, which he said has flown under the radar for years. Losing sales tax revenue can take a heavy toll on towns and villages, which are trying to save every penny they can.
During negotiations, county administrators rejected a town proposal that would have allowed ReEnergy to receive a tax break while keeping the property on the tax roll. That deal would have allowed LeRay to keep its sales tax revenue while not affecting the company.
This definitely sets a precedent, Mr. Harter said of the LeRay vote. But this still doesnt address the issue of sales tax revenue that could be corrected at the county level and fix all of these side agreements.
LeRay board members pressed the issue because they felt obliged to support taxpayers and residents who would be affected by the revenue loss, Mr. Harter said.
The board had the guts to stick it out by saying no to the first deal, he said. They felt the responsibility to look out for their taxpayers when some folks from other levels of government arent doing it.
The project is set to receive final approval at the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agencys board of directors meeting July 12.

Luke Perry is ready to play wingman for his former "90210" co-star Jennie Garth.
During a chat with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush and Kit Hoover this week, the newly single star (she and husband Peter Facinelli split earlier this year) opened up about Perry's offer to hook her up with some of her friends.

"He keeps saying he wants to because he doesn't approve of my choices so far," Garth, 40, explained.
Since breaking up with her "Twilight" star ex, the blond beauty has enjoyed brief romances with HGTV star Antonio Ballatore and photographer Noah Abrams. Just last week, Garth was spotted out on a date with Jason Clark, a managing director at Jones Lang LaSalle in Los Angeles.

"I don't know my type. I don't know what I'm looking for," Garth, the mom to Luca, 15, Lola, 9, and Fiona, 5, admitted, explaining that she's enjoying getting back into dating. "I'm attracted to guys that I'm not normally attracted to right now, which is exciting for me."
Something she's definitely not looking for? Someone who has her confused with her "Beverly Hills 90210" character, Kelly Taylor.

"I've had that happen, where a guy was really just enamored by Kelly Taylor," the actress explained of a former awkward fling. "I found it kind of cute at first. But it went on and on."
