Why buy from DS? Here's my expereience. I live less than a half hour away from DS. When it came down to choosing where to buy my next PC, it was between DS or Maingear. I really liked the Shift, but with the DS "back to school" sale and the extra 10% off, the Shift came out to be several hundred dollars more expensive than a comparable build from DS. I also didn't want my system to go through the 3000 mile journey to get to the west coast. I know everyone doesn't live that close to DS, but that was one of the deciding factors in my decision, so I feel it's relavant. Plus if anything went wrong with my system, heaven forbid, DS is close enough for me to drive up there and drop it off, not having to worry about shipping it off to the east coast.
I decided on the Black Ops Assassin because of the FT02 case and the fact that it's one of the more quiet cases out there with good air flow, my previous PC was just too noisy.
I ordered my system online on Saturday August 13th, knowing that the order wouldn't be seen by DS until Monday morning, I just couldn't wait. As soon as DS opened on Monday the 15th, I started getting emails about the progress of my system. At the end of the first day I was already at stage 4 of my build, WOW I thought, this is awsome. I had originally ordered my system with a Corsaif HX1000 power supply, but the HX1050 became available at the end of the day on Monday. I called DS just before they closed and requested the HX1050, since it was the same price as the HX1000. I was assured that it wasn't too late in my build and that the change would be made. Sure enough, it was.
Anyways, my system was ready for local pickup on Thursday morning August 18th. It took only 4 days, I really was expecting it to take longer, so I was thrilled that it was done so soon.
I work only 15 minutes away from DS, so I picked it up an hour after it was done. I did have a little problem finding the right building, there's no big Digital Storm sign outside the building. The tech who built my system came out with my system and showed me the internals and showed me the changes I requested, which was unexpected and a very nice touch I thought. He then boxed it up and took it out to my car, and off I went.
Just for fun, I priced my components throught New Egg and it really wasn't that much more expensive to have DS build my system. I did't have the time or patience to build my own system anyways.
I've had it for over a week now and I'm very happy with my purchase. The build quality is superb and it runs great, quiet and cool. I took advantage of the "back to school" sale and the extra 1 year warranty upgrade, which I thought was a good deal. Getting constant email updates on the progress of my build was really nice. A very positive buying experience in my opinion. I would definitely buy from DS again.

@ZRX1200Rider - Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it! If you haven't already, you should put that in a new thread in the general forum with some pics, and then you can have your own review thread.
@davep - True. But if I was expecting a $25 steak dinner, but some place had it for $40, I'd wonder why it was more. I think he saw a couple components marked up more than usual and assumed everything was that way. But everything's not that much, and the whole system is quite a value for what they provide.
As for movie concessions (MW2 for my analogy), what's the value-add? Giving me something that someone else made doesn't really justify a large fee for me.
Now I'm hungry...

Hello everyone, I was away for two days (Thursday & Friday), so I never had a chance to make an official response.
First off, Mojo, welcome to the forums and the community, we would love to earn your business and show you how great of a company we are. Thank you for asking such questions, as, it only allows us to be better for our valued customers. I will do my best to clarify the points you brought up:
You're right, it's not because we believe in charging twice the amount we buy items for, at the time of release, the game was much more expensive, we only had a small mark up of around $10-$15 on the item. The game didn't sell that well, so the pricing that was in the system was marked up from our cost price. I shared this with the team, and we're selling the game now at a loss to us, but, at least we can move some of that inventory, so thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Amazon currently sells it for $95.99 (http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Nh-D14-Cooler-140x140x25mm-Cooling/dp/B004GG149K) and our price for the cooler includes the extra fees we pay for shipping (we order it directly from Noctua via International Shipping), and what ever is left is our mark up for profit (we have to pay bills too ) and the time/labor to install the cooler since it is a little complicated.
We wouldn't like anyone to pay double for anything, if we were doubling the prices, we would not be providing the best value in the market. Our goal is to offer systems that are not priced too cheap, where we have to cut corners in testing or customer service/support, and not too expensive, where we're just trying to sell an overpriced system. We do our best to keep our markup costs low, and include our overhead costs for the extra testing, quality checks, and customer support/service. We always check our pricing compared to our competitors, and we're definitely priced fairly well when you compare the overall total system cost after customizations.
We do not void any customers warranty for upgrades. We understand that our customers may make changes to their system in the future, and with that in mind, we do not void any warranties if a customer chooses to do so.
In conclusion, I hope I was able to clarify your concerns, and I also apprechiate everyone's support. @Mojo, you may also contact me at any time via email: [email protected]

Ordered the top prebuilt ODE last month and was pleasantly surprised to have it 30 hours later. Showed up 10:30 am and ready to play by noon. Was gaming rest of the day and well into the night & was amazed. Blazing machine. Currently playing Alice-Madness Returns, Tomb Raider Underworld & Oblivion 5th Anniversary. Frame rates are phenomenal TRU - over 200 FPS, Oblivion 60+ FPS both with all eye candy maxed. Some reason getting only 30 FPS with Alice. Still looks good, so haven't bothered checking my settings yet. What a machine! Lovely to look at - great cable management, just a very clean looking machine. Love the binder that came with it. Has all CDs and info about your computer together if you might need it. Don't think I'll ever deal with anyone else and will definitely be recommending Digital Storm to all my friends.

Thank you for your interest in Digital Storm!
Sorry but that model does not support that specific graphic card. Each model has specific requirements for cooling, etc... the options listed in our configurator for our laptops are the only ones we can use. However, for our desktops, we can special order anything for our customers.

Another reason to buy from DS.. Just read of a 'blankity blank' pc maker that refused to fix a laptop because of cat hair inside. He posted pictures 'blank' sent to prove their case. I guess in excessive cases even DS, maybe but probably not, might consider it, but this cat hair problem seemed minor. I've pulled card cages and power supplies and wiring terminals apart loaded with dustballs and hair in wharehouse settings that covered the components and was never the cause of the problem.
Sounds like any excuse not to cover warranty.

Ah yes, cat hair. A computer technician for another company once was convinced my laptop was having mobo issues because of pet hair and dust build up (the caveat being that I have no pets, lol). He was so positive of his assumption that he told me they wouldn't cover it before he even opened the case (because it was hair and dust and thus my fault). Needless to say, he opened it and there was not a speck of dust in there, his embarrassment was quite pleasing, haha. Some companies just are pains to deal with, luckily, thus far my experience with DS has been as smooth as silk.

Irony is that a DS employee created a post telling you why you should purchase from DS. Why didn't he just say so he could get a paycheck? Don't get me wrong, DS is great, very personal and tries their best. But sometimes, however, in some cases (like mine) they're best is just naive. I won't get into this but while talking to DS I felt over educated and over qualified. They did try.

Thank you for your feedback, yes, I did start the post as it does say I created the thread, my reason for it was to simply offer a break down of a "Why Digital Storm" section which was from our website content. After that, it's been filled with pages of great feedback by our community.
In regards to your case, sure, we do have customers that are well versed in computers, and we do have basic to senior level techs, it all depends on the situation. If you would like to speak to a Senior Tech, I'm more than happy to connect you with our team, feel free to email me with your details: [email protected]

I am a single dad on a tight budget in need of a new computer. I've been looking at all the websites out there and Digital Storm seems to have the best reviews that i can find. I've had a Dell XPS since feb '07 and I have to say it's been great up til now but it's starting to slow down a bit and actually can't play the new games that are out due to the hardware just being outdated. I'll be placing my order with DS shortly after i type this post and for once i'm actually excited to be spending money!

Have been using my DS computer for 9 months and still loving it. Recently had a problem where it hung at marvel initializing on boot up. Called DS and Carlos walked me through the act of correcting it. Very pleasant & knowledgeable guy. Had no problem following his directions, was able to explain the steps in non tech. Took no time at all to correct my problem. What a great company, won't go anywhere else for a prebuilt computer. Sorry for above post, new at this.

Technical support is great. Even have initiative to get back to me before I got to them.
I recently had a problem starting my computer it would hang during boot at initializing marvel & couldn't get to the bios. So I used the jumper to reset the bios which erased the overclock it came with. I emailed support asking what setting they used on my computer so I could put it back properly. Richard emailed promptly & gave detailed step by step instructions to reapply the profile on the computer. After getting to the profile list I decided I would wait to do so as summer in the central valley is here and my computer room gets to 85 degrees F. so I never replied about whether I had fixed it.
Two days after his 1st email, Richard emailed me again wondering if I had succeeded in getting everything fixed. He also sent screenshots of the various bios pages showing the settings for the overclock on the computer they sent me.
Now that is customer service. Digitial Storm (or at least Richard) is going all out to make sure you are happy with your computer.
I can't see myself ever goimg elsewhere for another computer. Great customer support is a rarity these days. So when you find it, you know you're dealing with a company that cares and that's who you want to deal with and forget the rest.

I have to admit right out of the gate that feel like I'm taking another shot in the dark here. I have researched and read reviews and researched some more trying to figure out where (or even IF) I wanted to buy another computer from an online retailer, much less another laptop.
Let's just say my last "power buying" adventure left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a $1600 door stop about 3 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired. I'd had issues with the thing since day 1, but being an experienced tech support provider with the "DUDE! You're getting a..." company, I figured out a way to get by the minor inconvenience of an overheating issue. That is until my wife needed to use it and forgot the USB powered cooling fan that I had been sitting on up to that point.
So here I am again, preparing to take a leap of faith and go with Digital Storm. The way I have it figured is, if it lasts 3 weeks longer than my last one, I'll still have a year, 10 months, and 14 days to get it worked on, eh?

Hi Jwee1125,
Welcome to the DS Forum. If you read through this long thread you find many, many happy customers. You will also find many forum members who own DS computers over in the Configuration Forum waiting and willing to help you. This forum and DS are not like others that you may have done business with in the past.
One thing you should consider is buying another year or two of warranty just for the peace of mind. The normal DS warranty is for three years support and one year of parts. The additional year gets you four years support and 2 years of parts. DS also provides lifetime support. So if you have a problem you call DS and they will try to help you solve your problem. You just won't find a better warranty from any other computer company. You will also find as you read through the Forums that the members here help to solve many problems and are a great source of information.

My Experience with Digital Storm: Well, where does one start with these reviews?.... I guess I'll start with the build... I ordered the ODEv2 Level 1 on a thursday and they recieved the information that day and began processing it. My PC entered stage one on friday and stayed there until Monday the 5th of AUG. From there it went from Stage 1 to stage 5 in just ONE day. Needless to say I was pleased with how fast it was going and was checking in every hour to see if it had updated lol. Anyway...
The next day, it was into stage 6, final QA check etc and moved to stage 7 that same day. DS was not messing around when it came to completeing this build... Wednesday it finishes but doesn't ship out until thursday the 8th. Moving forward to the 13th(monday) I recieve me PC . I could barely contain my excitement as I lugged this massive box down my slim hallway into the office. I quickly tore open the box to find my PC unscaved and in perfect condition, at least physically anyway... I then proceeded to do my own QA and ensure the connections were all completely seated, and there were (Good job DS QA!!)
I plugged it in and it started up like a bat outta heal, loading to the desktop in a mere 20 seconds which is the fastest I've ever seen a PC load. With little hesitation, I began trying to install games. First, SWOTR --- Install failed.... Then Star Craft 2 --- Install failed could not write.... Then world of Warcraft --- Install failed, could not write.... Then Resident Evil 5 -- Install failed couldnt write.... It was at this point that I knew I had a problem... I recieved my PC after 5 PST (6:30 my time) so DS tech support was closed. I posted on the forums and within 30 min Alex, and a few others began posting on my issues and giving me things to try in order to troubleshoot why it wasn't installing. From here, I'm going to skip ahead because describing all of the steps I tried would take up an entire PAGE of this forum :p
As it turned out, it was a bad stick of RAM that was determined through MEMTEST86. DS's top Tech (Richard) stuck by me through this endeavor and up until that point he thought it was the harddrive due to the spikes in the Evaluations report from HDTUNE. I let him know of this new result and he immediately spoke to his supervisor to get a second opinion on pushing ahead to get new RAM sent to me. Not because he wasn't sure, but because he likes to get a second opinion. That being said, he pushed it on through and I now have another 8 GB of RAM on it's way to save my PC. The good news is only 1 stick of my Corsair Vengeance ram was bad so I'm still able to play all of my games and install everything perfectly fine with 4 GB. Was this experience disappointing? Yes. Is it fixed now? Yes. Did DS tech support acknowledge me the 50 times I called them? Yes, and they returned my calls each time with enthusiasm and willingness to help. The bad stick of RAM was simply out of their control. Hardware just fails sometimes regardless of how many hours you stress test components.
AS a recap, I'm going to Bullet style why you should buy from DS
- Customer Support: Even though their hours aren't necessarily ideal, they're very helpful and quick to return calls and concerns, even if you impatient like me, you'll be happy with their promptness and ability to help you out
- Quality of Their PCs: Even though I had a bad stick of RAM, everything else was TOP notch to include the interior components when it comes to wiring and how well everything is put together; I've YET to see a company with better quality than DS.
-SPEEDY build: They don't mess around for 3 weeks when it comes to building a PC for you. That to me says that they care about their customers because they have a similar if not the same passion for gaming and PCS as their customers do, so they want to put out a well built, rock solid machine for you as quickly as they can manage in order to maintain that high quality and great customer service.
Those are just the 3 main points that I could think of off the top of my head, which a still 3 BIG main points by the way, but the bottom line is, You're going to be HAPPY with what you pay for when you buy from Digital Storm because in the end, I know I am.

I can't wait to get my VANQUISH computer. I have never played games on high settings. I had a piece of sh*t from some Office Max or whatever, and have only played World of Warcraft for basically 7-8 years on low settings. Anyway, the customer support is absolutely great. I was chatting with Brian Benoit and he gave me solid, sound advice.
All I ask is for packaging to be more secure. I just don't feel comfortable because I've seen delivery guys kick boxes or throw them over a fence (if anyone of you knows about this story: a USPS man threw a package that was fragile over a fence, it must have been a plasma t.v., and the surveillance camera caught the whole thing on tape). We need robots to do this kind of job.

While I have not yet received my machine, I have already experienced the fantastic support from Digital Storm.
In the excitement of ordering, I overlooked adding a media card reader. Now close to panic time, I called. The matter was handled very well, no waves, no recriminations, all very professional.
While I don't recommend last-minute changes, I am glad Digital Storm was able to accommodate me. It augers a great relationship with a reputable company.
Kudos to Mike and Digital Storm!
PS: Congratulations on the new laptops!

BOSTON — Rosy Spraker was only a half-mile from the finish line of her seventh Boston Marathon when the bombs went off. She received her medal later in the mail at her Lorton, Va., home. But she couldn't bring herself to wear it until Saturday, when she and thousands of other athletes joined victims of the blast to run and walk the last mile of the race.
"Now I feel like I've earned my medal," Spraker said, beaming, after she crossed the Boylston Street finish line, encouraged by a cheering crowd. "I wanted to run for the victims, for freedom, to show the world that nothing is going to stop us."
"Somebody that thinks that they're going to stop a marathoner from running doesn't understand the mentality of a marathoner," said her husband, Lesley, after he placed the medal around Spraker's neck.
On April 15, explosions near the finish line killed three people and wounded more than 260.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an aspiring boxer, was killed in a shootout with police days later. His younger brother, Dzhokhar, survived and is charged with carrying out the attack. He's also charged in the slaying of an MIT police officer days later.
On Saturday morning, about 3,000 runners and bombing victims gathered in light rain to run the final mile of the world's oldest annual marathon, said Kathleen McGonagle, spokeswoman for those organizing the event known as OneRun.
OneRun honors victims and emergency workers and allows runners to reclaim the final mile, McGonagle said.
"For the runner that didn't get the chance to finish the marathon, this is the chance for them to experience the final mile that was taken away from them," McGonagle said.
For many runners, it was also a chance to heal from the events of that harrowing day.
"It was very emotional to run down this street and see all the people cheering," said OneRun organizer J. Alain Ferry, who was prevented from completing his ninth consecutive Boston Marathon on April 15 and ran the final mile Saturday.
"There were a lot of tears," Ferry said, clutching his 2013 marathon bib with the number 22084. "And I can feel in my throat that there are going to be more. This was a scab for everyone that just was not healing."
While the event was not a fundraiser, donations from some corporate sponsors covered OneRun operating costs, McGonagle said, and any leftover funds will be sent to a charity set up to benefit bombing victims.
Before the race, the national anthem was sung by the choir from St. Ann Parish, where 8-year-old victim Martin Richard's family worshipped.
"It was a beautiful thing," said an emotional Steve Poirier of Chelmsford, who had been running his sixth Boston Marathon when he was turned back last month. "As a runner, you want the chance to finish. Better late than never."

Happiness Island
this wiki
Happiness Island is an island in the water surrounding Liberty City, officially part of the borough of Algonquin, and is the city's southernmost point. It is based on the real-life Liberty Island, complete with its own version of the Statue of Liberty, called the Statue of Happiness. Niko will kill either Dimitri Rascalov or Jimmy Pegorino on Happiness Island, depending on the ending the player chooses.Unlike the real-life Liberty Island, Happiness Island has only a light police presence; if the player gains a wanted level, no reinforcements will arrive (apart from Police Mavericks and Annihilators), as the island is isolated from the mainland, and Predator patrol-boats cannot dock to transport foot police.) The island is large enough for the player to escape from a two (in some cases three) Wanted Level search radius on foot if they stay out of sight of police, which is useful for players hunting the six pigeons on the island, though there are several officers at the dock at throughout the island with M4 Carbine rifles/9mm's. In TBoGT, there will also be 2 cops near the entrance to the "building" under the Statue of Happiness.
There are forklifts on the south-eastern side of the island; a Faggio and a randomly-spawned vehicle can be found to the south.
Happiness Island is a great location for Team Deathmatch, as one can trap the enemy team on either of the 2 piers. This can easily result in 100-kill games in an Assault Rifles-only match. Trapped opponents may escape using the boats at the piers, however.
- Entering one of the four doors on the top floor (which cannot be accesed by stairs), the player can view a rather strange easter egg. If you climb up the ladder, you can view a beating heart. Called 'The Heart Of Liberty City'. The player cannot destroy this. The only way to access this is by jumping out of a helicopter onto the top platform or if you get drunk in TBoGT you may end up by the heart wearing a parachute.
- Strangely, if the player zooms in with his Sniper Rifle, the face on the top of the statue resembles US Senator Hilary Clinton. This may be a revenge act by Rockstar, after Hilary Clinton criticized Rockstar as being too "Violent". She was also involved in the "Hot Coffee" controversy around San Andreas, which may be why the statue has a cup of coffee in her hand.
- The "Happiness is...land" sweater can be obtained on Happiness Island.
- Unlike the real-life Statue of Liberty, the Statue of Happiness faces north, towards the West River, meanwhile the real-life statue faces south towards the Atlantic.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars there are no vehicles on Happiness Island, and no normal way to take them across. However, there are two bugs the player can exploit to spawn them. Firstly, if the player hails a taxi, sets a GPS waypoint for the dealer Osama and skips the journey, the Cabbie will sometimes respawn upon the island. Starting a taxi mission on the island results in fares appearing on the island. You can only fail the mission. Alternatively, if the player obtains a two star wanted level upon the island, a Police Patrol may spawn on the island chasing the player. This does not work in GTA IV or its DLCs.
- Strangely, a Uranus may spawn on the island.
- In GTA IV if the player sets a way point to Happiness Island and hails a cab for a ride and they select skip then they will appear on the island.
- If the player sets a waypoint for Happiness Island in a car, the in-car GPS will continuously say "Calculating Route" until the player sets the waypoint off.

Airport security staff have a daunting task. With impatient queues looming over them they need to search x-ray scans of cluttered suitcases for several items at once: knives, guns and bombs. How can we ease their task and make sure they don't miss a crucial item? To find out, scientists are trying to understand how we humans take in visual information. The humble triangle plays a crucial role in the experiments they perform.

A Rubik's cube, you'll be pleased to hear, can always be solved in at most 20 moves, no matter how badly it was scrambled up to start with. Mathematicians have proved that that's true. But what if you're wrestling with a larger cube that has more than three little cubes in a row?

We often think of mathematics as a language, but does our brain process mathematical structures in the same way as it processes language? A new study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests that it does: the process of storing and reusing syntax "works across cognitive domains."

Kneeling in the mud by a country road on a cold drizzly day, I finally appreciated the wonder that is a lever. I was trying to change a flat tyre and even jumping on the end of the wheel wrench wouldn't budge the wheel nuts. But when the AA arrived they undid them with ease, thanks to a wheel wrench that was three times the size of mine. There you have it ... size really does matter!

If you are, then you may be one of the 5 to 7% of the population suffering from dyscalculia, the mathematical equivalent of dyslexia. But unlike many dyslexia sufferers, you probably haven't received the help you need to cope with your condition. As a recent article published in the journal Science points out, dyscalculia is the "poor relation" of dyslexia.

The hillside location of this vineyard is ideal for Cabernet, as it sits above the fog line, enjoying warmer days and cooler nights.
"The 2009 cabernet sauvignons were divided into two different flights. The Howell Mountain Cornerstone Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon ($80) and Mount Veeder V. Sattui Cabernet Sauvignon ($49) respectively tied for first place in their flights...The V. Sattui cabernet showed expressive, mountain-bred fruit flavors of crushed berry, cassis and plum that were punctuated by bright herbal notes and cedar, making it another favorite of the group."

At the age of 15, Francesca became interested in fashion. She enrolled in Traphagen School of Design, where she studied fashion design. After graduating she traveled through Europe perfecting her craft by working with some of the world's best designers. She learned draping from Elsa Schiaparelli and sharpened her tailoring skills in Italy.
When Francesca Todd returned to New York, one of her many suitors asked if she would move to Kenya and marry him. She spent 16 years in Africa, traveling for four months of the year to different countries. One day in 1965, Francesca was walking by a river with a group of people. They saw a lion nearby, acting very strangely. Without a seconds notice the lion attacked Francesca's face and killed a young boy--flying doctor's rushed in to save her. Lady Francesca Todd barley escaped death and the lion was shot for fear that it would attack more people. She has had many adventures that have shaped her philosophy and influenced her style.
When I asked about her style influences,Lady Francesca Todd replied that one thing her mother told her years ago,is the most important. Her mother said, " Get dressed in the morning and see what you can take off." If she is wearing a dramatic necklace, she would never wear an arm full of bracelets.Francesca describes her style as Dramatic Simplicity and says(like many other Advanced Style subjects) that she dresses for herself, not other people.She also told me that it is important for older people to dress up because it raises their moral and makes others around them smile. With a lifetime of excitement behind her, Lady Francesca is still ready for her next adventure. She travels frequently and is a member of many groups, including the Pan Pacific and Southeast Asian Women's Association, which she is planning a fashion show for next month.

How padded is it? what is the protection for your scuba gear in the bag? i do a lot of traveling and i dont want my gear to break.
Any of the bags designed for scuba gear are fairly well padded and designed to hold dry or wet gear. The denier on the material tells you how heavy duty or thick the material is on the bag. 1000 to 1200 is very durable, but will be weigh more. This bag is one of the more durable.

Those warm spring days are still a few weeks away, but that doesn't mean we can't welcome new trends now. The easiest way to get your springtime fix (without having to rock open-toe shoes in snowy weather)? With a revamped beauty routine, of course. Whether your style calls for bold makeup or nude nails, either is fair game this season.
Top Trends to Try Now
1. Seen all over the spring 2013 runways? The bright red lip. From fiery red-orange to candy-apple red, it's safe to say that a look-at-me pout is here to stay.
2. Long gone are the days of over-tweezing – strong, dark eyebrows are a go.
3. Remember the colored mascara trend? Try it out now in shades of blue and green or go all-out and pay homage to the 80s by lining your lid in a cobalt blue.
4. More praise for the 80s? Why not? Crimped hair made an appearance on Badgley Mischka's spring 2013 runway in romantic, soft updos.
5. Lush lashes are always right in my book, but now the trend gets even more amped up with Twiggy-inspired fringe.
6. Take a break from bright nails and opt for a fresh nude polish.

I've been developing my own method for randomizing a coastline from a basic outline. This method may have been discussed on here before, but if it has, I haven't seen it in my frequent perusal of the tutorial threads. This method is for Gimp, but it should be pretty transferable to PS, if I remember my PS stuff at all. I'll try to write this tutorial so that anybody can follow it, but if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
We begin with a basic, smooth coast outline, land in white, water in black
I find things work out best if you use the pencil tool with a hard edge, but feel free to experiment. If you have no ideas for this, I believe there are a few good tutorials somewhere out in the guild that give nice results for basic coastlines.
Next, we need a noise layer. Click the 'new layer' button in the layers dialogue (if you don't have this dialogue open, you can find it in the 'dialogue' menu on the top of your image). I usually name this layer noise, but you can name it whatever. You can just create this layer filled with transparency, since we'll have the computer fill it in.
In the filters menu, choose filters>render>clouds>solid noise, set the detail to the maximum, and generate a new seed.
The size sliders should be set to the same value, but what that value is is entirely up to you. I find that this method works best with larger sizes. I have provided several screenshots of results of different size noise layers later so that you can judge the effect.
Next, duplicate the base layer with the rough coast outline (the duplicate button is also on the layers dialogue), and move it to the top. Now, we want to displace the coast, so again go to the filters menu and select: filters>map>displace. Now, in the window that appears, set displacement mode to polar and edge behavior to smear. The numbers for pinch and whirl are relatively arbitrary, so I suggest playing with these to get results you like. No matter what these numbers are, you should select your newly created noise layer in the dropdown slider next to each of them.
When you click 'ok', this should create your random coast. Picture 4 is an example of a coast created with the maximum noise size, picture 5 is with a smaller size.
I hope that was clear. If anybody has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Domestic Animals
We have a large display of domestic animals. Impressive large dioramas show the animals in scenery reflecting their natural habitat. Over 300 mounted birds represent almost all Central European species in their habitats. Individual showcases display winners of international bird preparation competitions and the current "Bird of the Year".
Alpine Dioramas
These are three large dioramas built between 1918 and 1925. Travelling was not as widespread then as it is now, and dioramas were a way of acquainting visitors with far-flung countries and their scenery. In order to create a 3D effect, the scenery was painted on concave walls and ceilings, while animals and plants were placed in the foreground. One of them takes visitors into a historic alpine setting more than a hundred years ago, still inhabited by ibexes, bearded vultures and bears.

NBC's chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel has told Turkish media that he would "rather forget" the five difficult days he spent in captivity inside Syria.
NBC said Tuesday that Engel and members of his production crew have been freed unharmed following a firefight at a checkpoint in Syria on Monday. The team was taken prisoner Thursday.
Engel crossed back into Turkey on Tuesday. He told the Turkish news agency Anadolu that he and his colleagues are "very happy to be out" and they are "very tired." He said they'll all be talking more in coming days.
Engel was shown hugging two members of his team, and all were smiling broadly.

Atlas EQ-G, imaging C-11, 80mm ST, PHD Guiding
Posted 19 November 2008 - 11:59 AM
Atlas EQ-G mount
Celestron 11" OTA with ADM's Losmandy dovetail plate and saddle
Orion Short Tube 80mm for guiding with clam shell tube rings using ADM mini-dovetail mounted on C-11
Orion StarShoot Pro Color CCD camera
Orion SS Auto Guider
12V 75 Amp-Hour Marine Deep Cycle Battery
When I do three star alignment using 5mm illuminated reticle eyepiece, I use directional buttons of keypad. I noticed when I release the left directional button, the star does not immediately stop, it keeps going for a short time and then stop. Other three directional buttons stop immediately. Do I have a bad motor for the left directional button? The mount is about 4 months old. I know it's under warranty but I already did some modifications like 1" thick counter weight shafts and drilled/tapped three larger holes behind latitude scales so I can tighten latitude adjustment.
After three star alignment, the mount pointing accuracy is very good. It always find the object I want to image with C-11. PHD guider seems to work well. The guide star seems to be always centered when imaging. I make sure the mount is well balanced before starting three star alignment.
The real problem I am having is exposures over 10 minutes when imaging with C-11. The star trails (or elongated stars) get bigger with longer exposure. Is it because of heavy OTA plus guide scope or the left directional button as descibed in first paragraph? C-11 plus guide scope weighs 38 pounds. I made sure the equipment I have do not have flex issues especially on guide scope. I use clam shell tube rings instead of three screws tube rings for that reason. If PHD Guider keeps the guide star where it supposed to be, then why am I getting star trails (or elongated stars) longer than 10 minutes exposure with C-11?

Even with a "close" PA you will see drift when imaging at that C11's extreme F/L. You need to do a VERY good Drift alignment,THEN do your GOTO alignment for accurate object placement.The mounts SW will automatically correct for an imperfect PA and will still produce very accurate GOTO's.In other words your mount does not need to be pointed at the NCP for good GOTO's.It does however NEED to be very accurately pointed at the NCP for imaging at anything over~1000mm.I can just use the PA scope on my CG5 when imaging with my ED80 and get no trailing or field rotation with exposures of 20minutes.When imaging with my C9.25 I make sure to do a drift alignment so that there is no drift visible for at least 1.5x the exporure length(i.e. if I plan on shooting 10 min subs,I make sure there is no drift for over 15 minutes).
If this is all stuff you know the disregard.But I have seen many imagers fed up with there system not producing good images when its just because they dont know or dont want to drift align.

Are you imaging at f/10? If so _get the focal length down_ to at least f/6.3 with a reducer/corrector it will make imaging easier and FOVs wider.
You want your polar alignment to be purty good when you are at these integration times. Consider stacking 3 - 5 minute subs.
Make sure you are well balanced, meaning, just slightly east heavy.

Posted 19 November 2008 - 07:18 PM
Yes, I am imaging at F/10. I already tried f/6.3 focal reducer but I get huge vignetting probably because I have to use about 4" extension in order to prevent from the camera to hit the JMI Motofocus. The diameter of StarShoot Pro CCD camera is huge. The reducer was connected to the rear cell first, then 4" extension and then the camera. I can't yet figured out how to mount the reducer between the 4" extension and the camera. Will it work better if the reducer is mounted right in front of the camera?
EDIT: Please define "East heavy". Does it mean when counter weight shaft is at horizontal and pointing east and counter weight end is heavier than the scopes?

First off, you have an excellent image of M1! Better than any I have ever taken yet!
You mentioned something that homes right in on what the problem is.
You say that the guiding is dead on ... all the time ... but the image trails.
That is a classic example of flexure in your equipment. This is due to stresses between your guide scope, the brackets on it and the main scope that it is attached to.
It is imperative that every contact point is extremely tight. Thus the guide scope ring knobs must have delrin tips to prevent marring the finish on the guide scope. I happen to have Losmandy guide scope rings on a losmandy dovetail bar bolted onto the radius blocks that are bolted right onto the OTA ends. The Losmandy radius blocks are made to fit various manufacturer OTA's such as your C-11. This sort of rigid assembly prevents the minute amounts of flexure that ruins hours of good work in imaging.
Like Unc Rod mentions, taking shorter but more numerous subs will rid of this problem too. But if you want to add images like Hyd.-Alpha narrowband on the emission nebulae like M1 and many others to bring out the chaotic nature of these celestial events requires much longer exposures like 10 minutes or more at a time, you need rigidity with heavier duty support systems.
Fun, isn't it?
Posted 19 November 2008 - 08:06 PM
Posted 19 November 2008 - 08:13 PM
I had ADM's three point guide scope rings with Delrin tips and I was getting minor star trails with PHD guiding. I later read a blog from Stark-labs about flexure between guide scope tube rings and main scope. So I replaced ADM's tube rings with clam shell type to maximize contact points but I am still seeing same amount of trails. If you look at my signature, I am using high end equipment to minimize flexure. I think my ADM's mini-dovetail system is very rigid and tight. My guide scope weighs only 2.5 pounds. I didn't want to use Losmandy dovetail system because it's quite heavy and weight is one of telescopes' enemy.
Posted 19 November 2008 - 08:17 PM
I'm no SCT expert but my imaging buddy just installed mirror locking bolts on his C11 because no matter how much flexure he eliminated, how tweaked his guiding was, etc. he couldn't overcome the slight movement of his mirror over a 10 minute exposure. He had oblong stars. If that's your problem, rather than double stars or something like that, I think it could very well be mirror shift.
Please tell me where he got the mirror locking bolts. Did he install a focuser at the rear cell like Crayford style?

I have almost the exact same setup as you excpet I use a Meade DSI pro and DSI II for guiding and imaging. Right now, I'm using a 4" refractor with the ST-80 to get experience collecting data and learning to process. but eventually I want to use my C11 as you are doing. I also have the ADM mounting hardware and it seems very very rigid. I have no advice to give because I'm not at your point yet. But you M1 image is just beautiful and gives me inspiration for what I might be able to achieve. Thank you for sharing it and I'll look forward to hearing more from you. If mirror shift is indeed the problem, I'll probalby have to deal with it as well. Of course right now, I'm happy to go for 3 or 4 minutes with good stars. I have never even tried 10 minutes yet!

Posted 19 November 2008 - 11:40 PM
Thanks for your kind comment. My goal is to be able to expose images beyond 10 minutes. I have an 80mm EON scope piggybacked by 80mm short tube and I have not yet started imaging with it but I plan to soon.
Posted 19 November 2008 - 11:43 PM
There was no wind the night M1 was imaged. It was one of the calmest night in a long time. Good thinking.

Mirror shift could be a problem, but I've found its not for me, unless goes really close to the meridian..
Do you have your ST80 on top of your C11 or side by side? I use mine side by side, Doing this is good for a few reasons. 1. You keep the weight closer to the polar axis, thus putting less strain on the mount.
2. You have less chance of flexture (although, with the Losmandy bar and saddle, your flex there should be minimal.
If I think of anything else, I'll post back
You have a nice, and very capable setup! and once you iron out this little issue, you'll love it to bits (as I do)
Oh, Collimate the scope... I know people say its not overly important on the SCT scopes... It is... Check it, because the stars looking slightly out of shape could be collimation....
Posted 20 November 2008 - 01:22 AM
I strongly recommend using more than just the polar scope for imaging with long focal lengths (2.8m of the C11 is LOOOONG!)
Posted 20 November 2008 - 02:01 AM
My guide scope is currently mounted on top of C-11 via ADM's mini-dovetail system.

Crasher Wake's Quagsire was used to battle Ash's Turtwig. Despite severe type disadvantage, Quaqsire almost defeated Turtwig but the Grass type was recalled before it could land the finishing blow. Ash then sent out Buizel and when Quagsire tried to use Ice Beam, Buizel used its Aqua Jet straight into the Ice Beam, freezing Buizel but also allowing it to land an Ice Aqua Jet which knocked out Quagsire.

- Aubrey Sacco Greeley Native Missing Nepal

- Arrests made in case of University of Colorado grad missing in Nepal
- Mar 14:
- Aubrey Sacco's mom appeals to Nepal press for help in finding missing Greeley woman
- Apr 24:
- Greeley parents haven't given up trying to find daughter missing a year
Paul Sacco, the father of a missing Greeley woman, is set to jump on a plane to Nepal today on a mission to find his daughter, even if it means hiking through 52 miles of trails.
"I'm not coming back without her," Sacco said. "Dad's supposed to protect her, and here I am 12,000 miles away. It's crazy."
On Saturday, Aubrey Sacco, 23, was scheduled to take a flight from Nepal to Sri Lanka, where she was to spend the last week of her six-month trip.
Aubrey was last heard from April 20 when she e-mailed plans of hiking alone through Nepal's Langtang trail.
She expected to finish the trek around April 30.
But while she was in Langtang National Park, protests and strikes demanding the resignation of Nepal's prime minister shut down businesses, transportation and much of the local communication networks.
Based on witness sightings reported to local police in the initial days, the Sacco family said they believe Aubrey retreated back into the park to use a longer trail instead of walking into the turmoil.
Nepali government officials, the Nepalese Army and the U.S. Embassy started searching the park's trails almost a week ago but have been unable to find her. No recent sightings of her have been reported.
Saturday night, the United Nations said it would join the search, Paul Sacco said.
Dinesh Shakya, a Denver resident who met the Sacco family through mutual friends, is from Nepal and has been working to make connections with people who may have seen Aubrey Sacco.
"This is a big issue for everybody. All the businesses depend on tourists, so we don't want to hear any bad news," Shakya said. "Everybody is trying their best to bring her home safe."
Shakya will take time away from operating his gift shop in Estes Park to travel to Nepal with Sacco to help navigate the region and translate.
"I really believe that she is safe, but even this is a long time gone now, and we're really worried," Paul Sacco said.
Aubrey Sacco left for Southeast Asia in December after graduating last May from the University of Colorado at Boulder with degrees in art and psychology.
While traveling through India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, she has spent time studying yoga, meditation and Eastern philosophy, her father said.
"She's like an old soul. She loves humanity," he said.

(Click on image to view map full)
After an early start, the flu is causing crowded doctor's offices and hospital emergency rooms in metro Atlanta.
"It's serious in terms of total cases, and serious in terms of clinical illness," said Dr. Pat O'Neal, Director of the Georgia Department of Public Health.
Typically, the flu season begins in January or Febuary. This year patients started feeling ill in December.
Experts say the intensity of this year's flu is more extreme than usual.
"You literally feel you're in a vise that's gripping you," said O'Neal.
Damian Hart knows that all too well. He visited the Doctor's Express on Howell Mill Road with a 102-degree temperature.
"Usually with the flu I feel better after a couple of days," said Hart. "This time I couldn't get out of bed. I had to have someone pick me up and drive me here."
There have been 332 people hospitalized with the flu in metro Atlanta since October.
Piedmont Hospital has seen 25 cases in the last ten days.
"People have had complications which include pnumonia, severe enough to hospitalize them," said Dr. Thomas Upshaw.

Forza Horizon Xbox 360 - 2 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
Xbox 360
In a gaming world full of spin-offs and reboots that end up disappointing the people who made the series successful, Forza Horizon attracted a massive amount of negative attention when Microsoft first showed it off as part of their Xbox 360 lineup at E3. Hardcore racing simulation fans worried that this would be the new direction of Forza, giving it a much more arcade racer-like feel.
To be quite honest, those naysayers were right. Forza Horizon throws much of the simulation aspects out the window, particularly in regards to precision car tuning. However, that does not make Forza Horizon a bad game. In fact, Forza Horizon is one of the best arcade racers in recent memory.
The basic story concept (I didn't realize racing games needed one either), involves a sort of burning man festival equivalent to racing inasmuch that you enter and fight your way through the ranks. As you explore the open world, driving from event to event, everything you do counts towards your popularity level, making the game's end goal two fold. You must not only win the festival by going through all the different colors of armbands, but also become the most popular racer at the festival.
The game's handling model, while not as advanced as that of Forza, feels quite a bit like one of the DiRT or Project Gotham Racing games. While the combination might seem strange at first, it begins to make sense when you recognize the pedigree of the team that developed the game. Playground games is made up of former members of both Bizarre Creations and Codemasters, and the two design philosophies blended together manage to straddle the line between simulation and arcade racing.
While the driving mechanics are often the most important part of any racing game, Forza Horizon has something that is at least of equal importance, its world. The festival itself is largely irrelevant to the world, and it only serves as a simple framing device, but the environment it takes place in is absolutely stunning. This fictional location, somewhere in Colorado, creates opportunities for incredible vistas all the time, and you will often find yourself distracted by some absolutely incredible scenery as you make your way down its long winding roads.
This scenery, combined with the fact that you are always earning popularity, make driving between events a treat instead of the chore it usually is in an open world game. Any time you pull up behind another car, you can challenge them to a race, or you can just drift around every corner and try to zoom past every single speed camera as fast as possible.
With Forza Horizon we have yet another reboot of a popular franchise that ends up creating something completely different. Whether or not its better than old Forza is for you to decide, but as far as I'm concerned, Horizon is a fantastic open world racing game whether you've enjoyed Forza's style of racing game in the past or hated it.
Xbox 360
Forza Horizon on the xbox 360 takes gamers into the next level of racing, there is a huge transition between this title and the previous release Forza 4. The gameplay is superb and really sharp, the contract and the streets are real streets, and this is a massive improvement on the previous releases.
There are also game aspects presented in the game where if you hit barriers and various obstacles like posts and signs you actually get upgrades, which is a new spin on things. There are also speed cameras located within the game and as you drive through these it takes a snapshot of the actual speed at that given moment, this is turn can then be challenged by other players who try and beat the speed that was clocked at that moment.
The handling is also slightly different from the previous title Forza 4, the handling now enables a player to be able to regain control much easier which I feel has improved the overall experience within the game. The upgrade system on Forza Horizon is also very much lifted from the previous release, you get the same old Rim Style, Engine, Carburetor, I expected them to upgrade this to include new elements and choices but sadly this was not to be.
Another problem with the game which should have been addressed is the more top level cars, granted they have included many more cars than the previous games, however you only have certain options to upgrade certain cars, rather than adopting this model and applying it to all cars, I felt they should of gone that extra mile.
Overall the game is incredible and the attention to detail is superb, I love traveling to the Festivals and seeing all the rides and people that are about, also having the option to engage in various things, from spray painting your car, to races to other pleasures which adds to the overall experience and gameplay.
One of the things with the Xbox 360 is you also have the option to take it online, where here you can take it to the streets where you can compete and enter races with numerous online players. They have scoped it down a bit, now you get to race 8 players as opposed to 15, this was largely done I feel because 15 was simply to many cars to be racing against at any given moment. The cut back actually works better, as they say sometimes less is better.
I would say that Forza Horizon is more geared towards street racing, whereas Forza 4 is more geared towards actual racing, the cars which can be driven in this game you may see on actual streets. So in essence the two games are modeled quite different.
