Mariners trying to trade Mark Trumbo by Wednesday
Seattle making Mark Trumbo available has been known for a while now, but Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports that the Mariners are trying to trade the first baseman/outfielder before Wednesday.
That's the deadline to tender 2016 contracts to arbitration eligible players and with Trumbo set to make around $9 million via that process the Mariners would rather move on before any decision needs to be made. In other words: They don't want to be stuck with him.
Trumbo has elite power, averaging 30 homers per 160 games for his career, but that power comes with a .250 batting average, poor plate discipline and a .299 on-base percentage, and sub par defense. Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto has already traded Trumbo once, dealing him to the Diamondbacks back when he was the Angels' general manager, and now he's working hard to part ways again.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Rockies are among the interested teams.
UPDATE: Red Sox sign outfielder Chris Young to a two-year, $13 million deal
UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal reports that Young will receive a two-year, $13 million contract from the Red Sox.
Monday, 1:47 PM: Veteran outfielder Chris Young thrived in a platoon role for the Yankees this past season and now he's headed to the rival Red Sox to fill a similar role, signing a multi-year deal with Boston according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com.
Young was once an everyday center fielder for the Diamondbacks, making the All-Star team in 2010 at age 26, but for the past 3-4 years he's gotten 300-350 plate appearances in a part-time role facing mostly left-handed pitching. He hit .252 with 14 homers and a .773 OPS for the Yankees, but prior to that failed to top a .700 OPS in 2013 or 2014.
Given the Red Sox's outfield depth–Mookie Betts, Rusney Castillo, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Brock Holt even with Hanley Ramirez back in the infield–Young is unlikely to work his way into everyday playing time at age 32, but he should get another 300 or so plate appearances while also providing a veteran fallback option. And it's possible his arrival clears the way for a trade.
Marlins hire Juan Nieves as pitching coach
This is not a terribly big deal compared to the rumors of who the Marlins want to hire as their hitting coach, but it's news all the same: Miami has hired Juan Nieves as their pitching coach.
Nieves replaces Chuck Hernandez who was let go immediately after the season ended. Under Hernandez Marlins pitchers allowed 4.19 runs a game and had an ERA of 4.02, striking out 1152 batters and walking 508 in 1,427 innings. As far as runs per game go, that was around middle of the pack in the National League, just a hair better than league average. The strikeout/walk ratio, however, was third to last in the NL.
Nieves, a former Brewers hurler who once tossed a no-hitter, was most recently the Red Sox' pitching coach, serving from the beginning of the 2013 season until his dismissal in May of this year.
In baseball, if you lose the World Series you still get a ring
"Second place is first loser" — some jerk, probably.
The funny thing about "winning is everything" culture in sports is that it's revered, primarily, by people with the least amount of skin in the game. Self-proclaimed "Super Fans" and talk radio hosts and guys like that. People who may claim to live and breathe sports but who, for the most part, have other things in their lives. Jobs and families and hobbies and stuff. Winning is everything for them on the weekend at, like, Buffalo Wild Wings or in their man cave.
Athletes — whose actual job is to play sports — like to win too. They're certainly more focused and committed to winning than Joe Super Fan is, what with it being their actual lives and such. But you see far less "winning is everything" sentiment from them. In interviews they talk about how they hate to lose but, with a little bit of distance, they almost always talk about appreciating efforts in a well-played loss. They rarely talk about big losses — even championship losses — as failures or choke jobs or disgraces of one stripe or another.
All of which makes this story by Tim Rohan in the New York Times fun and interesting. It's about championship rings for the non-championship winners. The 2014 Royals — winners of the A.L. pennant but losers of the World Series — are featured, and the story of rings for World Series losers is told. Mike Stanton, who played on a ton of pennant and World Series-winning teams with the Yankees and Braves, talks about his various rings and how, even though the Braves lost in the World Series that year, 1991 is his favorite.
Also mentioned: George Steinbrenner's thoughts about rings for World Series losers. You will likely not be surprised about his sentiments on the matter.

Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Okay, so I realize that he had to regenerate during the sixth season, but I recently saw the seventh season episode "Imperfection". Inwhich Seven's Cordical Implant malfuntions, and because it's broken she can't regenerate. Well to save her, Icheb gives her his implant. You can go on Memory Alpha to learn more about the episode or just watch it.
Now he's surviving without an implant, so does he need to regenerate anymore? Because it seems that it's essential for regeneration.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Icheb was much younger than Seven and had less-extensive implants. Maybe the Doctor found a way for him to sleep naturally. Or maybe he and Seven decided to rig him up a regeneration unit elsewhere to give both of them some privacy.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Is regeneration sleep?
The argument can be made that Drones are "Awake" during the regeneration process.
At least their bodies remain awake while their minds go somewhere else.
Where does Seven's mind go now that Unimatrix Zero has been demolished?
The Borg must have had out of body work details that they should have gotten annoyed that her psyche never turned up for the swing shift while her body was regenerating... If her mind had no where to go to, because she is not Borg, and it stayed in her body, then Seven would have been awake rather than seemingly asleep while her mind was empty.
Seven could wander into Unimatrix Zero despite that her subspace radio antenna had been disabled, so really what ever tech had her mind subconsciously connected to and driving offsite/remote Borg mechanisms during regeneration was still active till at least the end of season 6 that she could have been acting as a widget or an engine fulfilling any number of Borg Agendas the whole time little orphan Annie was on board Voyager.
She was only half free.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
I saw Icheb yesterday at the convention.
He showed us an excerpt of everything he's done since Voyager. I missed half of it because I was tying my shoes.
Anyway he didn't seem to have regenerated a whole lot to me.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Really, the stills I saw of Manu over on IMDB floored me.
Although if you take 7 thousand snapshots in an antiseptically controlled situation, you're bound to find perhaps 3 usable shots.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Just had a look. Helluva lot of furrowing.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
The Rugged man's man, 80s areosolized scotch aftershave print advertisement look doesn't ring your bell?
It was the change which was so startling.
Speaking of the greying side of transition, have you seen Edward Furlong recently?
Little Johnny Connor now looks like your local friendly nighbourhood meth dealer.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Remember when we were sure that the future would all be about velcro?
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
I guess we'll never know.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Glad to see I am not the only one that disliked this 'Icheb'. Apart from his name being all wrong, his intelligence and high nose made him the perfect snob. Evil.
Q2 was much better.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
Just so you all know. I thought he was a great gawky adolescent. I might have been meh about him though if not for his tragic personal story.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
He's aged better than Robert Beltram- anyway make-up can do anything.
The trick where Echeb can remove his cortical node had to do with genetic sequencing. His body lost the ability to continue without implants because of the cortical node. If it was removed, then he was vibrant enough to regrow his cerebral tissue. His re-sequencing came as a result of fluids and cerebral scanning.
Today he looks normal.
Re: Does Icheb have to Regenerate?
I agree, "Child's Play" really sold me on the character.

"Everything we were looking for in curaçao and more"
"Did you see it?" My wife had a big grin on her face.
"See what?"
"The manta ray!"
Apparently I snorkeled right past it on my last swim of our stay at Cas Abou.
Totally missed him. But that was alright because we had seen and experienced so many other amazing things on this adventure.
At the center of this experience was this lovely cottage that has just what you need to truly detach from the rest of the world. Rather than checking email (which you can still do if you want to) we found ourselves checking to see what birds were visiting us on the deck that morning. Commuting to work became swerving around hermit crabs on the path to the private cove by the cottage. Watching mindless sitcoms dissolved into seeing how each night's sunset would unfold across the broad panorama of sky, sea, and coastline that is the view from the deck.
Beyond the setting of this ideal vacation spot, the house itself feels like home. From the cottage's crafty local art and decor to the well appointed cooking and entertaining areas to the welcome air conditioner, the cottage immediately felt familiar and welcoming while at the same time transportive. By all means add an evening with chef Lisa to your stay--she will prepare amazing cuisine in the comfort of the cottage while you relax, have an engaging conversation with her, or just melt into the sunset view with a rum curaçao.
In addition to the comforts of this property, the owner Don provides you with a terrific packet of info for planning your trip to curaçao. The island is small and with the available car everything is easy to get to. Highlights of our trip were: beach hopping from totally secluded spots to fully serviced beaches with gorgeous white sands and blue water, bush walking to see the multiple Eco systems the island is home to and tons of wildlife from lizards to turtles to birds, hanging in Willemstad for a more urban experience, and exploring the reefs with the provided snorkel gear. (If you scuba dive there are many world class diving options on curaçao).
Another part of our adventure worth a hearty recommendation is the catamaran trip to Klein curaçao. Even with rough seas during our way out, the experience of this beautiful stretch of beach and the excellent hospitality of the outfitters more than made up for it.
So, you may not see that manta ray (don't worry, Don has a video he can send you), but everything else about this Cas Abou cottage will ease you into a trip that you will want to repeat. That's why it is number 1 on tripadvisor.

Oh, man, that manta...he's been in front of the cottage for about a month now, a beautiful month. So glad you and the family had a chance to get away from it all and enjoy being on the seaside and exploring Banda Abou! Real nice you got to meet Carl and Caroline, they are Banda Abou treasures. Also, very glad you had a great meal with our chef, Lisa. Along with our massage master, they are the number 1 and 2 service requests for adding to the pleasure of being on the seaside! Looking very forward to welcoming everybody back! Don

"total relaxation"
I rented Don's cottage for the month of March for a much needed rejuvenation. The stay surpassed my expectations. The location is so serene and unlike any other Caribbean rental I have had. It is truly casual, relaxed, outdoor living. I would not trade the experience I had for anything. Don and Brigitte would do just about anything to accommodate me and make me feel welcomed and safe. My husband visited for 2 weeks and loved it. I met many people on the island I now consider my friends. But if it is seclusion you want, that can be had also for the asking. I rarely go to any island twice, because I want to experience different places, but I am seriously considering doing Curacao again next year. Highly recommend the experience Don's cottages can offer.

Hi Terri and Fran!
I hope you are all out of the cold and into a solid spring now! Great to enjoy 2 Carnaval parades with you, some local snacks, memorable happy hours at Daniel's AND a great dinner prepared by you and Fran. You get all the scout badges for your explorations especially for trying out both of our chefs! That's getting more and more popular now! Even though you get full marks for Best Explorer there's more to see so we are looking forward to introducing you to some new sights, sounds and tastes that Banda Abou offers. C'mon down! And, yes, Fran can bring his playlist again....Don

We were the whole month of february in Don's cottage!
it was incredible!
what a location - just perfect
we may observe from the terrace turtles, schools of fish, dolphin swarms, yes and last but not least, a whale!
it was fantastic -
the photos are cool
the pictures could show only a part of reality - it is more beautiful than in the photos, believe me!
We arrived as guests and customers, we leave as friends!
Thank you Don!
Thanks also to Brigitte for your work in the background

Hi Anton and Birgit!
What a nice time having you both on the island! Knowing that you have both traveled extensively for your winter breaks and that you enjoyed the cottage so much means a lot to me. I really appreciated your patience with the upgrades going on while you were here, thanks so much for that! That picture of the whale was fantastic! You were the first guests to stay for a month and that's was really exciting for me. You had some great ideas to make the place even better and I'm already working on them...I'll send you some pics as things change. Until then I'm looking forward to seeing you both in Austria and enjoying some mountain views! Have a great spring! Don

"Private, confortable, and beautiful getaway."
My husband and I stayed for a week at this little gem. Beautiful setting, close to many fantastic restaurants, and and easy drive to Willamsted. Snorkelling is very good right in front of the cottage. Don is a great host and has created a lovely spot a far cry from the cookie cutter resort scene. Our favorite restaurant nearby was Landhuis Daniel (in a restored plantation house). Favorite beach was Porto Marie although we loved swimming below the cottage (but bring your beach shoes). Favorite moments were late afternoon cocktails under the trees near the cottage and, of course, the fabulous sunsest and night skies from our deck. This is a very special place created and run by very special people. Thanks Don, Bridget, and Lisa.

Hi Val and Bill!
We are glad you both had a nice time on Curacao and in our seaside cottage. We are always trying to stay ahead of the curve with comfort and amenities so we appreciated your patience as we were trying to get some new things in place. The new mosquito net is up and running and the water heater is giving folks a nice warm way to start the day! Cocktails under the trees is also a nice way to continue the day and we're happy you enjoyed that, too! Have a speedy end to winter and we hope to welcome you back soon! Don, Brigitte and Lisa.
"Absolutely Perfect. Just book your trip now!"
My sister and I enjoyed a week stay in Curacao. The view is incredible and the cottage quickly begins to feel like home. We enjoyed every minute of it. Don and Brigitte are so welcoming and accommodating. They provided us with great information before our trip and during our stay which made exploring the island even easier. Although the cottage location isn't really close to many main attractions, everything is within driving distance. The cottage offers a perfect place to relax and unwind, but also get out and explore. We plan to return soon.

Hi Hillary and Tori! Great to meet you both and enjoy some adventures together. Very happy you enjoyed some of the more nature-centric hidden gems on our island, it was a pleasure to explore them with you both. We're also glad you had time for the city and to enjoy some night life. We like to think our location is perfect for that...20/25 minutes to the end of the island and 20/25 minutes to the city, centrally located in beautiful Banda Abou! It would be great to see you again for some champagne in the pool! Don

"Beautiful, peaceful & relaxing"
Been back for just over a week but the memories of this wonderful cottage & view will always remain and keep me going through a long cold winter!
Firstly, the cottage was so easy book as Don replies to your e-mails very quickly and informatively.
When you arrive at the cottage I defy anyone who doesn't say wow to that first look at the view. Don was there to greet us and show us all the things the cottage has to offer like the outside shower (take a careful look at the wall when using it, it will bring a smile to your face!) and the hammock area, which I loved. The inside of the cottage has everything you need, the most comfortable king size bed where at night you can lie in and see the moonlight reflecting on the water, how romantic is that! Mostly it's outside living, with a covered patio leading onto the deck over the water, little touches like the heavy net curtain shades you from the searing sunshine in the afternoons before drawing it back for the sunsets.
I cannot comment on eating out as mostly we just lazed around never tiring of the watching the clear turquoise waters and the wild life. Beautiful birds, the antics of Slinky the resident gecko and of course, Iggy the iguana who loved his watermelon everyday.
Don is the perfect host, very respectful of your privacy but always on hand if you need him. We shared several bottles of wine with him, great fun and an incredibly interesting man, could have listened to his stories for hours.
Yes, you need a car but the roads are very good and the island people very friendly. The 2 weeks were great just what we needed to recharge the old batteries, thanks Don.

Hi Jane and Nigel!
You got a shot of Rainbow Season, great! I really have the best job... I get to meet real nice folks and show them some spectacular views and hear some stories about their discoveries on Curacao and their lives back home. It's really fun for me and the wine brings an excellent lubrication to the conversation...It was very nice chatting with you both and I'm really glad you enjoyed your two weeks! Hope to see you again in 6 months for the visa run! Enjoy a terrific New Years! Don

"Beautiful cottage with spectacular view along the aquamarine wat"
Don is a wonderful host. All our inquiries were replied to immediately, from home and onsite! Infos excellent; where to eat out, directions from the airport (very easy to follow). Don makes you feel very welcome and at home!
The cottage has the most spectaculer view along the aquamarine blue coast and, a magnificent sunset straight ahead.
The cottage's interior is small but absolutely adequate, a very comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen. The whole front opens fully onto the deck, and wow, we never got enough of this scenery and that feeling, that we were perched right over the water, which you literally are. This house has been built with its large deck area for the purpose of spending most time outside on the deck. And it is really worth it! Watch the birds arriving for breakfast, the two little friends who share the breakfast table (two small lizards) and the iguanas who stop by, not forgetting the marine life too! The deck can get very hot late afternoon, but an outside fan helps and a special sun curtain can be closed across the first part of the deck to protect from the heat.
There are many things to find in and around the cottage, as Don has given very special thought and care to creating relaxation within the natural surroundings. Two loungers and very comfy chairs and a hammock are hidden between the trees right over the cliff, providing serenity and that feeling of being hidden (although there is nothing to hide from). The outdoor shower is another little jewel, created by Don, I won't say anymore, find it for yourselves!
Don provided an excellent service and part of this was a linen change twice a week and quick clean and a greatly appreciated bottle of bubbly on our arrival. As already mentioned, any questions or needs on site are dealt with immediately and Don endeavors to makes all his gueasts feel very much at home.
We would like to thank you especially Don, for making our stay that bit more special. Look forward to seeing you in June 2014!

Hi Gina and Toni!
You guys really dd the island right! Staying for 2 weeks is sooooo much better than the shorter holidays. And I'm really glad you enjoyed Ba-ooo! No better spot for dolphin watching.,.. think you saw the osprey, too?! You both set the record for a return booking. Your next 2 weeks in June are booked and you will see some nice new touches when you get here. Enjoy a great holiday and I'll be sure there are a few Brights in the fridge!
Merry Christmas! Don
"Amazing Honeymoon at Don's Cottage!"
What can we say that other reviewers have not already said? We absolutely loved staying at this cottage-everything was spectacular from the view to the location, etc. As other reviewers have mentioned, Don was extremely easy to work with and so helpful. We stayed here for ten days and truly felt at home. One of the reasons we loved the cottage was it gave us a much more authentic view of the island than we would have gotten in a resort. We were so happy with our choice to experience Banda abou (the less developed part of the island). Everyone we met was very helpful and friendly. The cottage is close to a couple of great local restaurants. Our favorites were Trio Penotti and E Lanternau. Another great perk was free access to Cas abou beach, which we visited several times.
A Few Recommendations:
1. Rent a car! This location requires lots of driving-but everything is relatively close.
2. Book Evelien for a dinner on the patio, Ilsa for an in-house massage, and see andhielda with Gobi Divers for an out-of-this-world diving experience.
3. By far our favorite meal was at Kome in Willemstad. Make a reservation, and don't miss this place!!
Thanks again Don!

"Paradise inside the paradise of Curaçao"
This was our honeymoon... instead of getting a big resort we wated some intimate and local experience, so we found Don's House. We saw the many excellent reviews and booked it.
We had great expectations and they were all overachieved. Don's is a great host, and helped us getting an excellent cook, Evelien, and a great massage therapist, both coming at this house to serve us.
In the mornings we woke up with several different kinds of birds that came to wake us up, or even better, ask for some bread!!! And Jack, the beautiful Iguana with a shorter tail, always came later to get some fruit and bread too.
Don's house location is more to the countryside, next to the gorgeous beach of Cas abou, therefore, you are 5 minutes "tops" from a excellent beach with a great service of drinks, snacks, bathroom and showering facilities, massage and spa. All of this in a white sand beach with great snorkeling.
Don's house was so cozy we didn't want to leave the house. Don became a good friend, as became Evelien. We loved it all.

It was really nice to spend some time with you during your honeymoon! You guys really knocked the ball out of the park and did your holiday in style! The massages and dinners at the cottage are the way to go! I had a blast enjoying some explorations and conversations with you and looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

"Fantastic Week in Curacao"
Our expectations for our stay were high based on the reviews we had read about the cottage and we were not disappointed! To start Don was extremely helpful in getting us connected with a car rental company (Just Drive Curacao worked out great) and dive operation (ditto for Go West Diving) as well as addressing all the questions we had in advance of our arrival. From the moment we arrived the great service continued with a thorough tour of the cottage grounds (water entry points including trail to the private beach, outdoor shower, etc.) and recommendations for dining and activities to enjoy during our stay (all of which were great).
As for the cottage, the pictures don't do the view justice. You can feel the stress melt away while you enjoy a cold drink on the deck. The unit uses the space extremely well and is great for a romantic get away. The location of the villa is also great. We could easily drive to activities on the west end of the island (Go West Diving, hiking Mt Christoffel, etc.) or into Willemstad on the east end (Rock Beach is a cool beach bar, thanks again for the recommendation) in about 25 minutes.
Best of luck with the remaining construction on the second cottage. We are already working on getting some family members on board to rent out both units in the future :) and thanks again Don for helping make our week in Curacao great!

"Pictures do not do this lovely studio justice!"
When my wife and I visited here in July, my first reaction was "wow - The views are even better than the pictures!".
All of these 5 star reviews are warranted. Not only is the studio charming and the location great, but Don has to be one of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We spent one evening with him over a long dinner and we had a blast. He was responsive to our needs and in my opinion a great ambassador for this part of the island.
The only caveat I would have is that access to the water from the studio can be challenging for some, but that being said I would highly recommend spending time here.

Hi John and Karen,
It sure was a pleasure for me to get to know you both and I'm glad you enjoyed getting to know Curacao and especially, Banda Abou. It's a very special place! And, I'm real glad you enjoyed our cottage! I have recently spoken to my neighbor and we are going to join forces to create an easier access to the waters in front of the house. That should be ready within a month. In the meantime we remind all guests that bringing water shoes is a good way to enjoy getting in and out of the water at almost all the beaches here. Special thanks to Karen for setting up my telescope and bringing down a small part of New York for us to enjoy! Hope to see you soon! Thank you for taking the time to support our efforts down here. Don

"Cloud Nine!"
What can I add to all the praise that has been given by other reviewers? Everything they write is true! Starting with the great personal attention Don is giving - from the moment you make your booking until the time you (reluctantly) leave the island. He is an excellent host and he will help you with anything you need.
The minute you step on to the terrace of the cottage you know; this is going to be the perfect get-away holiday. Tranquil location, astonishing view on the turquoise sea, a cooling breeze and "wildlife" in abundance. And the cottage itself: soulful and complete.
It was our first trip to Curaçao and we really loved the island; good natured people, great restaurants, small secluded beaches, great snorkeling - like swimming in an aquarium - breathtaking sunsets and a fantastic wildlife.
But most of all we loved "our" spectacular cottage at the sea.
Don, thank you very much for sharing this wonderful place with us.
Getting back in the Netherlands it didn't take us very long to decide; we will definitely return next year!

"Insane Value for the money!"
From the time you send your first email to the time you leave, the level of service and genuine desire from Don & Heidi to make your trip the best ever is over the top.
I must have sent Don without exageration 50 emails before my trip. "Are there binoculars?" "Is there a kettle?" "Is the private beach really just for my use?" and on and on even to the point where I sent Don satellite images of the property for him to pin-point exactly where it was because I couldn't believe you could get a cottage...on the ocean...right next to Curacao's #1 beach for such a great nightly price. And with every email came fast patient responses almost to the point where Don seemed as excited to rent to me as I was to rent from him.
On the subject of the Kettle, my wife is a coffee freak and Don said there would be a kettle but there was none to be found. (some guests clean really well!) and Don said it's there somewhere. I said "No big deal, we're just boiling water in a pot and we're fine." That wasn't good enough for Don...we came back from a day at Cas abou and voila! the kettle was sitting on the oven. Crazy!
Also, after a great visit with Don over a few drinks, Don asked if we needed a mid-trip cleaning. Again, I said "no..we're doing fine but my wife wouldn't mind fresh towels" That afternoon, I get a call from Heidi asking for a convenient time to swap out the towels. I told her we were hitting the beach for the afternoon and to drop them off anytime. Again, not good enough for Don & Heidi...when I got back, she didn't just drop off towels, she cleaned everything! to the point of noticing that we had made bruschetta in the toaster oven and left the dirty pan in there...that's insane! and completely outside of expectations.
You've seen the pictures others have posted. It really is that nice! This property has everything. Location, amenities, exceptional customer service. The perfect place for two people wanting to de-compress. Thanks Don & Heidi

"Gorgeous Cabin"
What a magical place! We absolutely loved this cabin. Every morning we woke up to the calming sound of waves and were visited by these beautiful tropical birds. Snorkeling is fantastic and only a few steps away. We discovered the outdoor shower on day 2. What a great bonus! Thanks so much lot for a great experience.

"Almost perfect..."
The location was breathtaking, with the ocean access and a public beach not far away. The quality of the building was okay, though I would price it a little lower for the interior of the building was not of the same quality as other houses/cottages in this price range. We enjoyed the ability to make our own meals and relax on the deck. The accommodations were suitable, with everything we needed, from spices to dishes and appliances. It was clean except for the tiles, which needed a good scrubbing, and the dishwasher which, although not working at the time, had some creepy crawlies in it. There were some sugar ants around, but nothing more than what was expected on the island and the owner tried to deal with this during our visit. The wildlife was entertaining, with the birds, lizards and iguanas visiting regularly. The mosquito net over the bed at night was necessary to avoid getting bites, and make sure you close the doors before sunset or you will have the no-see-ums and mosquitoes to contend with (Thanks for the bug zapper, Don!). The bed was a real downside of our trip, as it was so hard that neither my husband or I slept much, tossing and turning all night to try to get comfortable, and waking up in the morning very stiff and sore. We enjoyed the privacy at the property, although the owner has said he will be building his residence on the foundation next to it, so privacy may not be an option in the near future. The private beach is difficult to get to with the very steep, rocky decline; just not doable for diving with tanks and equipment which is what we hoped, but nice for swimming. Down the stairs to the other water access is either too far from the water to get in, or rocky and very wavy, so improving water access would be important for us to return here. Much thanks to Don for being available to answer any questions we had or help with requests, such as filling the propane tank for the BBQ for us.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review it is appreciated! Well, that's the first 3-star in 4 years of doing business with 10 villas and 50 reviews and we aim to rectify that as best as we can. Part of that is being open and honest with publishing reviews and their replies so future guests can appreciate different perspectives. I think this cottage has 11, 5-stars and 1, 4-star reviews. I'm glad you understand about ants and mosquitos on every island. We have pest control every month but when it rains the ants come out a bit and if folks leave anything open on the counters then they call their friends. And, yes, everybody on the island closes up the house at sunset during the two months when the wind isn't blowing pests out to sea, it's the thing to do. Happily, the dishwasher has been fixed, we are sorry it wasn't available for your visit and glad that the sink does a great back up job. Regarding the bed, most folks love it and it's the first mention we've had of it. When we are getting a new bed I will look into getting a different model based on what folks are saying and we certainly appreciate your feedback in those regards! Regarding the price...the cottage has booked at approachiing 95% in it's first year and 10-weeks of winter 2014 are already booked. We are very happy to keep our pricing very competitive and very happy that most guests regard it as "very affordable". Regarding the diving and stairs...yes folks need to be careful on stairs and entering the water. The walk to the private beach is not meant for tanks, it's meant for laying on sand and enjoying beach time. It's what we think is an excellent choice...private stairs into the Caribbean Sea for your own personal dive spot on one edge of the property and a 30-second walk through the bush-bush to get to a private beach on the other side of the property. The property is about 50 meters along the seaside cliffs and both of these options are on the opposite edge. Regarding the upcoming building....I am building another very private 1-bedroom cottage over looking the beach on the opposite side of the property. It will be impossible to see either cottage from the other. They will be further apart than almost any homes on the island due to the long coast that the property is situated on. At Seaside Curacao, and at my own personal property (this cottage), we take our guests comfort, privacy and enjoyment very seriously and we really appreciate the time you took to help us be the best we can be! Enjoy a great spring and I'd like to offer you first dibs on the new cottage this coming winter at a 30% discounted rate as a thanks for your business. Don

"Seaside Bliss!!"
Our stay at the Seaside Cottage was everything the pictures promised (which is a rarity)...quiet, secluded, comfortable, and the most amazing view. Morning coffee on the deck overlooking the serene multi-hued blues of the ocean and sky was idyllic. The cottage is charming, clean, cozy, and adorned with natural treasures and local artwork. The small Cas abou community is well-situated, secure, quiet, and gently lit so you can see the stars at night.
We explored nearby beaches and snorkeled in front of the cottage. The reef habitat right in front of the cottage is in very good shape. We managed to log about 80 species of fish. Also, we observed a sea turtle, while snorkeling, and a pod of about 20 dolphins feeding/swimming in the cottage waters! The daily visits by our little feathered and lizard friends were reliable and expected. Oh, that splendid Troupial (national bird of Curacao) and its melodic and unmistakable voice and the cute little Bananaquit. Plus pelicans and osprey fishing.
When not in the water, we escaped the afternoon heat/sun by retreating to the Shady Iguana Grove next to the cottage. Perfect shady place to sip your beers, read, and listen to baseball games with the cottage wifi connection, all with a splendid view of the ocean. Deck is also great place for boat/ship/plane watching...as someone else mentioned, interesting traffic.
Future travelers, heed the advice given on renting a car (there aren't many taxis and outside of Willemsted, the island is sparsely populated) and wearing hard-soled shoes/booties in the water. Necessities if you want freedom and ease of getting around and in/out of the water. Although the sea was generally pretty calm, when it was rough, getting in and out of the water from the rocky shore was sometimes challenging.
A very special place indeed, sure to inspire relaxation.
Perfect place for our Honeymoon!
Thanks Don and Heidi!

Congrats again on the nups and we are sooo very glad you enjoyed a nice honeymoon! You get some serious bonus points for the nice pictures that you added, thanks! I'm glad you made it to Iguana Grove, some folks honestly never make it past the deck!. I hope you enjoyed the outdoor shower as well! And, I'm jealous of the dolphin sighting, OUTTA SIGHT!
Hard soled shoes are important when the sea kicks up, good advice. We hope you enjoyed some nice meals out in the area and checked out a few beaches! Enjoy a great summer and hope to enjoy a drink with you next time!

"Ultimate rest and relaxation!"
This is a great seaside studio, very private and quiet. The landscaping is beautiful and the deck is worth the rental fee alone! Access to great snorkeling ( head to your right) in very calm water, good for beginners too. Just a short drive to the wonderful Casa abou beach with diving, restaurant and bar. 10 minutes to grocery store, pharmacy and fabulous bakery.
We would highly recommend this part of the Island (north west) it is natural and unspoilt with lots of amazing local restaurants, yet only a 25 minute drive to town and tourist stores, cruise ship port and shopping.
We visited Hato Caves, the Curacao liquor factory,Jan Kok salt pans, Kura Hulanda museum, Shete Boka national park, Westpunt, Punda and Otrobunda.
Best places to eat, Daniel, Trio Penotti, Sol Food and E Lanternu and The Governer in town at night for the view.
We brought local art at alma Blou gallery, all prices, so helpful.
This is a cottage getaway, not 5 star spa, but all the amenities you need, no tv, but plenty of books and dominoes!! Don is very knowledgeable about the island and where to go. You can choose to do nothing all week, or visit somewhere new everyday!
We would definitely go back to Curacoa, the people are very friendly and smart, most speak 4 languages, we always felt safe, weather was 27 degrees day and night and best food we have had anywhere ( dont judge a restaurant by the outside, lol- go in!)
Please feel free to contact us :)

"This is the kind of place we always seek but seldom find..."
We thoroughly enjoyed this small cottage perched at the edge of the sea. It offers the perfect blend of comfort and naturalness. The huge deck provides panoramic ocean views topped off with spectacular sunsets. It was easy to feel the rhythm of nature here - birds, iguanas,and sealife abound. The owner went out of his way to ensure that our needs were met and our stay was comfortable. Our biggest problem was talking ourselves into leaving the cottage long enough to explore the rest of the island!

Hi Cyndie!
Thanks for taking the time to write your review, it's important for potential guests to get the real deal from folks who have already been hypnotized by the property! Most folks rave that the price is reasonable or even too low and we like to keep things manageable and booked. Right now we are OVER 95% occupied over our first year! We are super glad that you enjoy the views above and below the water and are looking forward to welcoming you both back for a longer visit. Thanks again, Don

"Truly an Unspoiled Slice of Paradise"
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to live on a tropical island in a house right on the sea, then this is an affordable way to have that experience.
First off, any pictures you see of this cottage by the sea pale in comparison to the beauty that you will see in person.
Booking the cottage was a breeze and Don's communication was timely and gave a hint of the superior service that was in store for us. Along with a written contract he provided a wealth of information on things to do on the island and recommendations on places to eat, get groceries, beaches to visit, etc.
When we arrived he was there to meet us in person. He showed us around the place and answered all of the questions we had for him. Don is a person who you immediately realize will go out of his way to make sure that you have a great vacation. He is very genuine and sincere and makes you feel right at home.
A daily treat was showering outside with a beautiful view of the Caribbean sea. Once you try it you will not want to shower inside again!
A treat at night around 8pm or so was the luminescent Jellyfish...Awesome sight to behold...like stars in the sea! And the stars above are awesome in their own right, an excellent place to star gaze.
We visited the neighborhood beach at Cas aboa a couple times. We had lunch at the beach bar and that was both reasonably priced and tasty! The beach there is world class and unbelievably beautiful.
Another recommendation in the material Don had provided was for a Picnic Basket service. I would highly recommend Evelien's picnic basket service!
I feel certain we will return to this piece of paradise and visit with our new friend Don once again. If you would like something special and off the touristy, beaten path I would highly recommend you contact Don at Seaside Curacao and start planning your own trip to this unique place.

Hi Jeff and Lisa!
That was a really outstanding review and we appreciate the time you took to get it through to us! I wish I could take credit for the views, breezes, stars and those outrageous jellies (that aren't there during the day) but credit goes to The Management! But I do like the deck over the sea, that was fun to build! You both really embraced the island and the relaxation and nature we like to offer. Super glad you enjoyed the picnic basket, next time let's get the in-house service and enjoy a meal together! Looking very forward to seeing you both again...there are some more adventures to check off the list!
Thanks again and enjoy the upcoming spring! Don

New York City
My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks at the beginning of July this year and had a fabulous time. The studio cottage is perfect for two and the location to die for. The view is unbeatable and is located on the quieter, western end of the island. The snorkeling right below the deck was amazing, as were the sunsets, stars and bio-luminescent jellyfish! It was our first visit to Curacao and in the end we were extremely glad we stayed in this part of the island as we prefer quieter, more remote spots and the beaches near by were unbelievable. We rarely ventured far from the cottage except to shop and swim. Heidi and Don were very accommodating and responded quickly to or questions and emails, making us feel really at home. Loved the indoor-outdoor living, snorkeling, BBQ and outdoor shower.
As for Curacao itself, being our first visit we were not really sure what to expect as had heard mixed reviews. We had wanted a snorkeling vacation and definitely came to the right place! The beaches were amazing for this. The most perfect clear aqua water ever, not many sandy beaches though so bring rock shoes. Curacao is much larger than other Caribbean islands we frequent (St Martin) but if you stay at this cottage you will be close to everything you need for a perfect sleepy and relaxed vacation. We spent most of our time on the beaches with a cooler and that suited us just fine. The public (free beaches) are beautiful but even for the beaches you need to pay to get access to the fees are nominal and totally worth it. Plus, if you want you can take the beach chairs from the cottage and save a few dollars. Our favorite beach by far was Porto Playa Marie but we also liked Casa abou and Groote Knip (Playa Kenepa). We are not scuba divers but saw plenty of people enjoying shore dives. For a bit of adventure we highly recommend the snorkeling and Klein Curacao trips from Bounty adventures: sunken treasures and sea turtles!
Overall: truly awesome stay and we hope to be back soon!

Hi Yadira! We are really glad you could take a nice two-week break at our cottage! That's the way to get really relaxed. I can't add much more to what you have said, you hit a lot of excellent spots.

"Very Nice Place for the Price."
The cottege is very nice and quaint. They advertise exactly as it is, there are no hidden fees, no ugly bumps and bruises that they cover up, straight forward and honest. Don was great in helping me get set up and while we were in Curacao he was helpful in making suggestions for activities on the island.

Hi Matt,
Well, that's our first non-5 star...so we need to get back on track. I don't know why the location is listed as a 3-star, please tell me! Not much I can do about having a private beach with private steps to the sea, a cliffside patio, flamingos, pelicans and trupials flying by, sunsets over the water 365 days/ year, trade wind breezes...anyway I will bring it up with The Management! I'm glad you enjoyed the activities we recommend, we really want our friends to have a terrific, relaxing and local experience.!

"Sunset extravaganza!"
This little hideaway is a secret gem. It is located on the most beautiful side of the island of Curacao. The deck sits over the bluest of blue caribbean water and is the winning feature. Don is a superb host, friendly, honest and knowledgable about all the hidden wonders of Curacao. It is a small guest house, very clean, but has everything you need. Steps lead to the water in this off the beaten path hideaway. You want to rent a car, as getting around the island requires one. The west side of Curacao offers spectacular beaches and you are in the best location for these, as well as, more local culture and flavor. The price is a steal for this little place packed with so much comfort, beauty and serenity. We loved it!

Hi Cheri!
Super nice to have you on the island! Looking forward to welcoming you back as the dear friend you have become! There's always one more cove to explore, one more sunset to enjoy and I don't think we saw enough green flashes last time! Big hug from a long way away! Don
"Privacy, Serenity, and Breathtaking Caribbean View"
My boyfriend and I stayed here in order to relax in a quiet location and breathe in the sea air. It's absolutely perfect for doing just that. The house, while small, is a steal for $100 per night because it's more than adequate (with all modern ammenities and comfort) and its best asset is a fabulous, large balcony on which we spent all of our time...It extends out over the water to provide views of the bright turquoise sea and incomparable sunsets. There is a foundation laid on the property which will eventually be developed into a bigger house, but the foundation is to the side of the house and is not in view while you're in the house or on the balcony. I absolutly recommend this place for privacy, serenity, and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the island and tourists.

Journeying Jess!
Great to have you both at Casa Ba-ooo! I love hearing about those sunsets from other folks, they are simply magic! I'll try to save some rainbows for you next time! Really glad you both enjoyed the diving and got to see the "house" eagle ray! Pleasant travels on your journey, enjoy!
"Stress? What's that?"
Let go.
Give your inner being the gift of levels of relaxation, until now, you only dreamed or hoped could be possible.
Make it real.
What more do you need than your own stairs down into the ocean and a kitchen to prepare some fresh local fish, rice and fresh mango salsa with wine at the end of the day. You never want to take your eyes off the view! Once you discover the outside shower you won't want to shower inside! Each days sunset holds beauty to top that which came the day before! Could it get better? & Then it does!!
Breathtaking serene beauty. Music from the birds of the air greet you every morning especially when you sleep outside under the stars. Had the special opportunity of 5 weeks & 3 days at this private residence & I'm going back as often as I can, often as I can, often as I can, often as I can!!!

Letting go is where it's at, no doubt about that! We are really, really glad you had a chance to stay for such a long visit! We love it when that happens and we know we'll get to see you again! Thanks so much for taking the time with your personal review. See you soon! Don
"Captivated my heart - Dreaming of returning"
I lived at this property in 2010 and can vouch for the beauty - splendor - and memories to be had here. The reef is one of my favorite to dive in all of Curacao, which you have immediate seaside entry at the base of the stairs. Evenings provide a spectacular show of stars being captured in the water when the evening jellies collide against the beach. Rain storms over Venezuela in the far distance - it is like the lightning shows only the Wild West can bring. Night swims are illuminated by the phosphorescence shows of a partners swimming next to you - like Tinkerbell.
The surrounding area teams with activity - climbing Mount Christopphel (highest point in Netherlands) a short 20 minute drive from the house - eat some exotic iguana meat at a local flavor Yanchi's (30 minutes) - explore the caves where slaves hid from their captors during the trade route days (30 minutes) - or drive into Punda and Otrobanda for dancing and nightlife activities. The entire island provides drive and dive locations, or you can venture to surrounding islands of Bonaire, Klein Curacao on day trips.
You can experience the best of both worlds while on Curacao. It was an amazing experience - one in which I hope to repeat again very soon.

Thanks, Brigitte! I sure enjoyed having you at the little cottage! Great to enjoy the views and wine with you and your friend. I am looking forward to welcoming you back as family and to prepare some more dishes for you! If I remember correctly you were the only one to miss the Green Flash. My advice...more wine for the next sunset! Don

From Exeter follow the A30 to Carland Cross. Turn left off the roundabout onto the A39 signposted for Truro. Follow the road (single and dual carriageway) until you come into Truro, you will see the Truro Cattle Market on your left. At the next set of traffic lights turn right, which will bring you into Truro City. Keep on this road and follow the signs for Falmouth. You will go through Playing Place, Carnon Downs and then Perranworthal (the river flows alongside the road here). At the top of the next hill is a mini roundabout (signposted left to Falmouth) go straight across. At the next double roundabout turn right, towards Helston (A394). Follow the A394 through Helston (10 miles), pass Tesco on your left and staying on the A394 you will reach a mini roundabout.

I process 120 and 35mm film in stainless steel inversion tanks, typically Tri-X shot at ASA200, D76 1:1, 7 min to 10 min (depending upon contrast) at 68 degrees. I presoak at 68 degrees and keep the tank in a tray of water at 68 degrees during processing to help maintain the temperature. I am very careful with these steps and measure and record the developer temperature as it is poured from the tank.
Inevitably, the temperature drifts higher (never lower) following these procedures. Sometimes it is 1/4 degree, other times as high as 1 degree especially during the warmer months when the darkroom may be as warm as 80 degrees. Even in the dead of winter when the darkroom is perhaps 68 degrees, I get a small drift in temperature.
My question is whether some of this drift is a byproduct of the development process?

The summary is based primarily on 4 sources: the American Geriatrics Society/British Geriatrics Society Prevention of Falls in Older Persons Guidelines, a 2012 Cochrane Review on interventions for preventing falls in older persons, a 2010 Cochrane Review on interventions for preventing falls in older people in nursing care facilities and hospitals, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries) tool kit. This summary focuses on screening for community-dwelling older adults and elderly patients who may come to physical therapy with or without a history of falls or a diagnosis of fall-related injury.
The reasons why older adults fall are complicated. There often are many causes. Decreased strength, balance problems, and difficulty walking; medication errors and mismanagement; problems with vision, thinking, and depression; and the effects of multiple health problems-all are linked to increased rates of falls. Physical therapists help people manage their fall risk by educating them about the reasons why they might be falling, by prescribing the right type and amount of exercises, by working with other health care professionals, and by working with community-based programs for people who want to reduce their risk of falling.

This blog is about internment, slave labor, death and concentration camps, as well as sex trafficking and worldwide slavery issues. Not since the Holocaust has there been so many possibilities for small to medium slave labor and concentration camps in outlying areas of the world. There's a place out in Alaska, where "jobs for the military" have been discussed regarding a million bed mental facility, for example.

Mexican Concentration Camps
How will the American government deport 4 million illegal immigrants?
While the U.S. Senate and Congress reach a compromise on the immigration legislation before them, neither has talked about how to deport 4 million people in accordance with the proposed new law. Camps used to detain and deport people are a real possibility. American history has seen a couple of examples of what may be in store for Latinos and others who fit the illegal immigrant profile.
Back then it seemed exaggerated to consider these kinds of concentration camps used on Japanese-Americans during WWII. A possibility that it could be used today against the poorest workers in this country is becoming a reality. We must recall that those Japanese people who were taken and locked up were legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, and many were even American citizens. Military soldiers surrounded neighborhoods and did a house-to-house search to take them all away. Their homes and property were sold for very cheap or taken and given away for nothing.
We can't let ourselves be duped, fooled or socad into the trap that this issue is about citizens and non-citizens, legal or illegal immigrants, when in fact the issue is about workers and their struggle to merely survive. This was very much the case during the Great Depression.
In 1930, the U.S. Census counted 1.42 million people of Mexican ancestry, with 805,535 of them being U.S. born, up from 700,541 in 1920. During the Depression, as many as 400,000 Mexican immigrants were rounded up and sent back to Mexico. Many, despite being American citizens, were still taken away (NPR: A Tale of Deportation in the 1930s, Mae Ngai, Professor of Immigration History).
As I wrote in my article, Liberty and Justice for Some:
In 1935 600,000 "Mexicans" were deported while scholars estimated that 60 percent of them were actually U.S. citizens, according to Joe Rodriguez of The Mercury News. It is no wonder that stories about U.S. citizens being picked up and deported are beginning to surface.
[The late] Edward Cortez, [then] Mayor of Pomona, was arrested and detained in 2004 by Federal Immigration Agents. He was out for a morning jog near his home and was caught in the early morning sweep. This shows the realization that anybody who fits a certain racial profile is not safe from arrest or detention. A double standard of proof of identity for the new slaves has become the norm for many Mexicans, Salvadorians, and other Latin Americans. They must carry passports, birth certificates, green cards and a variety of documents to have handy if they are stopped by the legally appointed over seers of apartheid justice, la migra, Federal Immigration Agents.
Speaking recently at a United Nations sponsored event in Mexico City, Lauro Lopez Sanchez, an assistant secretary of the Interior Ministry, said 850,000 Mexicans were deported from the United States in 2005. (www.0101aztlan.net
April Bulletin, "New Deportation Numbers")
Are we prepared to witness this kind of treatment all over again? It will be on a scale never before imagined by any of us. On April 6, 2005, in the New York Times article, "Senate Republicans Strike Immigration Deal," the rules for the mass deportations are defined: "Those who have lived here for two to five years, said to number about three million, would have to leave the country…The remaining one million or so, those who have lived in the country less than two years, would be required to leave."
These oppressive laws being passed are usually useful to divide the working class into a variety of factions. But for the moment it has accomplished something that none of us have dreamed of: unity. I have always heard that Latinos were too diverse and could never be united. A huge stereotype as it turns out. And now we are on the threshold of calling out to all workers for a general strike on May 1, 2006. It will send the message to the government that we will not tolerate unjust laws and we will not allow ourselves to be locked up as a result. We must keep up the pressure as the people of France have.
Recently in France, millions have gone to the streets to protest as a single united group. The oppressive law that incited them was originally pointed at those less than 26 years of age. Later, all ages joined them, unions joined them, and workers at every job joined them in national strikes.
For people in America – workers, professionals, students, especially those young ones in high schools and middle schools, those of us with a sense of compassion for others who suffer injustice – this is our moment. If you choose not to stand side by side to defend them, then be prepared for the day when they come for you and your family.
While there may be various consequences to such a protest, it is up to each person to decide whether or not it is worth it. Because it is the right thing to do, to defend our rights, our freedoms and democracy, I believe it is. What would Gandhi say? Martin Luther King Jr.? Cesar Chavez? Jesus? The Dali Lama? Muhammad? And all the other great humanitarians throughout history?
Amy Goodman, of Democracy Now, spoke to Noam Chomsky, Professor of Linguistics at MIT, about this issue and said, "some of the largest protests in the history of this country are taking place, with upwards of a million people protesting in the streets of Los Angeles, tens of thousands in Atlanta and Arizona, the biggest protest perhaps in the history of Chicago. What about this? The walkout of 40,000 high school students?
Chomsky responded with the following:
Well, these protests did have an effect. The bill that went through the Senate Judiciary Committee, to some extent, reflected them. Power centers cannot ignore public protests and, even worse from their point of view, continuing organization. You know, a demonstration now and then, okay, you can live with it. If it continues and becomes real grassroots organization, developing a functioning political system, in which people actually participate in forming and shaping policy and electing their own candidates, if it gets to that stage, they're in trouble. And we're far from that.
Chomsky goes on to talk about the great successes of the recent grass roots movements in Bolivia and Venezuela. He points out that these are the, "real democracy. You want to talk about democracy promotion, we need it here, and we can learn lessons from them." So that is what we are doing: taking steps towards changing a system that can better serve the masses of people and create new governance.
Join us. Be a part of creating a people's democracy; part of a movement that parallels the Black Civil Rights struggle. Be a piece of living history that will echo for generations to follow. Be a part of history that will give us all a sense of dignity because we stood up and fought for workers who make this country as powerful as it is today. Without them, without us, without our blood, sweat and tears, this country is weak, vulnerable and would crumble.
Stay out of work on May 1, 2006. Say no to concentration camps and illegal deportations.
-Robert Bracamontes
Well, you don't need to "stay out of work today," but do please stay out of concentration camps. Don't vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger, the son of a Nazi who interred thousands of people, or Sarah Palin, who is a double speaking Republican puppet - funny. Vote your conscience first.

OK thx
OK thx
a Nand version too would be cool!
Looking forward to see where this goes....
Thanks for the comments everyone. I already have an external switch board in the works which will be included as part of the kit. As for the USB part, it wouldn't be possible (yet anyway) to do since programming the NOR requires around 50 something points soldering. Leave it with me though as I have a few ideas to work on for now. I'm thinking Atmel or Actel for the cpld as I have a little bit of coding experience with them. I'll keep you all updated!
can't wait bro i wanna try this on my CECHH12 PS3
could you upload the picture sir. to see the mainboard thanks and more power!
Last edited by pinoytechno; 02-09-2012 at 08:40 AM Reason: Automerged Doublepost
wow, this seems to be very interesting!
I hope you'll find a simple and economic way to make it works solderless =)
Ok guys, just a quicky before I disappear for a few hours - first prototype going into production today. I'll post more pics later on
I'm nearly tempted to tell you hang on to my PS3 a bit longer to use as a test rig
That looks like an excellent solution for dual boot, great work Mushy!
Sounds good. Can't wait to see the end product.
great work, i'm sure the final product will be more refined. with "external switches" so people don't have to open up the console every time. its early days yet but maybe an all in one dual boot/downgrader too?

AMD Gives Big Quad to Big Animation's Creative Core
The animation industry in India is at its exponential growth, set to reach $1 billion by 2010 and so its need for a robust processing technology that can ensure meeting international production standards at a much faster pace. The major challenge was to ensure rendering as a processor intensive operation as it had to look deep at the platform level for the right balance of stability, performance and cost of ownership. The apt solution that Big Animation figured out was going for Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors to power their workstations. The result was apparent and Big Animation could find a distinct difference after empowering their creativity with Quad-Core AMD Opteron.

Y wants to improve the general living condition of the entire family, so she needs a loan to build a bathroom, which can be used comfortably by her family members. This loan will increase the value of her house and also keep the surrounding environment clean and lessen disease. Her plans for the future are to have additional lots to cultivate and gain more outputs, and to transform from subsistence farming to a successful commercial agribusiness.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of HKL's new water and sanitation loan program designed to help improve living standards of poor and low-income people living in Cambodia. Loans under the program are directed at various products that help improve access to clean water and improved sanitation facilities including loans for water tanks, filters, wells, distribution, and latrines. These loans help to reduce rates of waterborne disease, improve health, and increase economic outcomes for poor families. HKL has designed this social loan product to feature a lower rate than typical.
About HKLHattha Kaksekar Limited is one of the largest and most successful microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Cambodia. The organization provides microfinance services to the poor, particularly women, in urban and rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the outreach of HKL's financial services to a greater number of clients in rural areas of Cambodia.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
