Date of Stay: April, 2016
We have friends in the Tallahassee area and wanted to meet up while passing through the area. We chose Big Oak based on the closeness to the city. Upon arrival check in was easy and quick and finding our site was easy. We were in a pull thru that was just big enough for our slides and awnings, but it was big enough. There are several pull thrus side by side that are for transient people like us, it appears most of the park is populated with full time or long term residents. Our spot was fine for our few nights stay. The park is pretty and clean, with lots of oaks trees, including the very large one in the center of park with its branches that reach to the ground creating a beautiful shaded place to sit. The trees caused our satellite to be "stymied," but the cable was ok, and some sites looked like they could get a signal. My AT&T phone had 2-3 bars and LTE, I didn't try Verizon. Overall, I would recommend this park if you are visiting the Tallahassee area.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
We chose Lake Tawakoni as the second TT park we stayed at and to take a break from sightseeing and just relax. To say the park is out of the way is an understatement, but that was what we were looking for. Upon arrival, we checked in, got our information and were told to select our own site. We started in one loop, but then decided to head toward one of the lakefront loops. We were told the other lakefront loop was mostly full and that is where the annual units are. Driving through the loop, we found many of the sites were unavailable, signaled by a plastic bag on the utility pole. We found a site, but going into the loop to the right wasn't the correct direction, so my husband had to exit the loop, turn around and come back in going to the left. We loved our site, it was longer than we needed and very wide. We were right on the lake, so we had room and clear skies to put the satellite out, while still having trees above us. The site looked like it was asphalt at one time, but it hadn't been maintained. The hookups are 30 amp with water and sewer. During our stay we had to reset the breaker and all seemed well, but we had to take our RV for some work and return to the park. When we disconnected the electric our connector had plastic from the outlet melted on it. The power had been working, but we reported it on our way out and it was replaced when we returned. To be safe we purchased a new 50-30 amp plug. We mentioned it to the staff a couple of times, but ours hints for reimbursement were ignored. Most of the sites, not along the lakes edge, have heavy enough tree cover to prevent satellite use, but there are ones that satellite will work. There are two pools and a hot tub, along with two community buildings, one for adults only. The pools closed the day after we arrived,but they both looked clean and in relatively good condition. We ended up staying 8 nights, extended from our original plan of 5. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
We chose this park to test out our solar system and really liked it. The lake was completely dry, but the campground is quite pretty. There are very few trees, so not much shade or privacy, but we selected a spot that had a nice view and didn't directly face a neighbor. There are no hookups here, so come prepared. Access to the park is easy, even for bigger rigs. The first loop seems a little newer and more suitable for larger rigs. The bathrooms and showers are clean and private. You are far from a major highway, so it's pretty quiet at night. Our only complaint was that the winds blew so hard the entire time we were there that we couldn't sit outside for long. The winds died down the day we left. I guess the area is known for their wind, so just be aware. We had a very strong AT&T LTE signal, I didn't try Verizon. We really enjoyed this park and hope to return when we can enjoy being outside.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
The park is a bit of a mish mash of sites, some with 50 amp, some only 30 amp, some have sewer and some don't. You can find the hookups you want, you just need to be clear what you want. Some of the sites are wide with sun exposure and fairly good satellite reception, others not so much. The check-in process was easy and we proceeded to our spot. Many of the sites, including ours, have large trees that can make it difficult for larger rigs to get into. The trees define the sites, so they aren't just side by side, perfectly straight. This adds some character to the park, but also means you might be looking at someone else's sitting area, although that extreme is rare. There was a group next to us that had several RV's and tents, which was really nice for them. But, because the sites aren't clearly defined, one of their tents encroached on part of what we thought was our area. We had a lot of room, so it wasn't an issue, but others might not feel that way. We decided to extend our stay an extra two weeks, and part way through moved to a premium site. Our site was still 30 amp, but we had woods behind us and our site had much more open space to set up our canopy. The bathrooms in our loop were older, but clean. I used the laundry twice, the first time went well. The second time neither of the two driers I used dried my clothes. When we complained, the kid working said that they don't always work and refunded the cost of one dryer. They didn't even ask which machines we had problems with, that was disappointing. The wifi was unusable and AT&T reception was spotty, but we had a strong Verizon signal. The location is great and road noise is low, but there is a hospital very close and they seem to use their helicopter a lot! That was a little annoying, but it usually doesn't run late into the night. We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
This RV park is located just off 101 and has convenient access to the Larkspurs ferry into San Francisco, which is the best reason to stay here. The sites are quite tight, it is basically a parking lot with gravel pads and no trees. We were fortunate enough to get two sites, one for our 5th wheel and one for our truck and we were grateful for the extra space. The sites are marked off with railroad ties and can be difficult to get into, but don't let that discourage you. Upon checking in we received a lot of information about the area and getting into SF. The front desk was very helpful with our questions. The walk to the ferry is about 15 minutes, they give you a ferry schedule upon arrival, use it! The park has full hookups, so I didn't use the restrooms or showers, but my husband used then men's showers. You have to leave a $10 deposit for the card to use the shower, which you get back when you return the card. My husband said that two of the four showers were not operational. There are also showers and restrooms available at the pool area, I didn't visit those so I don't know what shape they were in. The park has a large laundry facility that is clean and fairly convenient. There are many washers and dryers and sizes range from large to extra large to really extra large. Prices vary, depending on hot or cold water and the size of the washer/dryer. There is a large table in the center for folding laundry. The pool was open while we were there and our granddaughter used it once. It's small and can get quite crowded. I wouldn't call this a campground, it's really a parking area for visiting the area. There is little to no space to entertain outside, we didn't spend anytime outside at our site, even with the extra space. I'm not in love with the park, but the location made it a good choice.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
The majority of the sites that we saw in this park are quite tight, with ones in the center being back to back sites. We had very little room to park our truck and just barely fit into the site assigned to us. The single tree next to us was so close that our slide pushed into to get it open. I used the laundry and it was clean and convenient. The location is an easy drive into downtown Pendleton and close to the highway. When we booked, we selected a back-in, full hookup 50/30 amp site. Our spot was is in the middle of the park, with another site directly behind us. We unhooked, leveled, and I went to plug in and the site only had 30 amp, with the heat we really wanted 50 amps to run both AC's (highs were 100+), and we had reserved a site with 50 amps. We went up to the office and they only had one 50 amp site for our stay (just a couple of days, but over the 4th). It wasn't a great location and looked awkward to get into, and we'd have to take our bikes and bike rack off to fit in. We decided to see if we could live with 30 amp for a couple of days. This was a learning experience for us, we thought if you reserved 50 amp that you will get it. It's especially frustrating because, before our arrival, I tried to get the days leading up to our stay but they only showed 30 amp available, which led us to believe that we really had 50 amp. It's the ultimate in bait and switch. We don't often stay at KOA's, if we can help it, but we hadn't experienced this problem before, so we really were upset about it. At least the staff attempted to be accommodating, and they weren't upset when we told them we backed in to the picnic table and bent it. Overall, we survived and we're glad that we cut our time there short. If you need to be in the Pendleton area, by all means stay here, just don't expect a bunch of room and be prepared to not get what you reserved if it's a busy weekend.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
This is a beautiful campground located in a nice county park that includes an arboretum that has a paved walking trail through it. The access to the campground was not direct but fairly easy from the highway. The roads to the campground and in the campground were fine and access to most of the spots is easy. The check in process is self serve, take an envelope, select your spot, fill out the envelope and put it and your fee in the slot. The spots are gravel and mostly level with nice grassy areas with a picnic table and a firepit. Hookups are electric and water, no sewer, with a dump station on the way out that was an easy pull through. There are lots of trees, although they don't provide much privacy, except towards the back where some of the smaller spots are. We had no difficulty finding a spot big enough for us, although there were some that we wouldn't fit in. We had no problem with our satellite, but it might be difficult towards the back. I tend to like state parks with lots of privacy and tree cover, but this campground (the campground, not just the park) is so beautiful I wanted to stay much longer than the one night we had planned. I would recommend this campground for anyone wanting a quiet place to spend a few days.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
We stayed at Reed Bingham for a few nights, heading North from Florida. The park is easy to get to from the highway and most of the sites looked to be easily accessed. We chose a pull thru, facing the woods, which was a premium site with water, 50 amps and sewer. As with all Georgia state parks, you reserve a site type and pick one that is open when you arrive. We have a 38' fifth wheel and there were quite a few site that would accommodate us. With the sewer hookups, we didn't use the showers, but I looked at them and they were very clean. There is a dump station for those without sewer hookups. There is tree cover, but the sites aren't very private. The park is fairly large, with a lake in the middle. There is a lot to do, hiking, biking, canoeing, picnicking. It is a fairly popular park on the weekends and they were supposed to be full the weekend we were there, but the weather kept a group of Girl Scouts away. Even still, the campground was very busy despite the weather. This isn't a place to stay if you want nightlife or lots of dining options. We explored the area and can recommend Horse Creek Winery for the food and wine tasting. The convenience of the park and ease of access are a plus for travelers. We would stay again, for that reason.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
This is a beautiful park, with lots of hiking trails. We have a 38' fifth wheel and a large dually truck, so I was little concerned about the two switchbacks, but we didn't have a problem. At the check in the ranger convinced us to go to the east rim and we found a pretty decent site that was easy to back into. The sites on the east rim don't have as many trees, but our site faced the woods, so we liked that. Many of the sites are built up, due to the hilly landscape, and framed in with wood, with the fire pit below the pad. Ours had a washout at the first step going to the firepit, being short this presented a problem for us. We have a step we use for our RV and moved it there, which helped. The sites are gravel and most appear level, but ours wasn't as level as it appeared. The hookup are 30 amp and water, so we used the showers and they were clean. We also used the washer and dryer, $1 each when we were there, and they worked fine. The east rim has the benefit of being within walking distance to the canyon overlooks and long walk down to the waterfalls (we didn't do that walk). We drove down to the west rim campground, to see what we were missing. The drive down has a switch back, but it didn't seem too bad. The sites had more trees and many were fairly private. The road thru the campground is a single lane and there are several areas where both sides of the road has been washed out. This eliminated a few sites that we thought we could get into, but we still found a few that would have worked, so if we return we'll try the west rim. There are some beautiful hiking trails from here, and you can get to the waterfalls from here as well. Up hill from the east rim campground are a couple of trails, including the backwoods trail that has primitive campsites. Further up is the disc golf course and a wildlife viewing area and fishing lake. Overall, a great park.

This was our second Georgia State Park, so we were familiar with the process. Check-in was easy and the clerk gave us an overview of which sites would be appropriate for our rig. We have a 38' RV and we're hoping for a 40'+ site with 50 amps. We started by driving through the lakefront sites, but the site we wanted was taken, so we decided to head towards the other loop that she said had more sites that would suit us. The roads throughout the campground are narrow, single lane, with washouts on both sides in many places and trees sometimes in places that make it difficult for a larger rig to get through. That said, we made it out of this loop and headed to the next one. Georgia had seen about a solid week of rain before we arrived at FDR and many of the sites had flooded areas, so that limited our choices as well. We eventually found a site that we could back into and we started hooking up. The site we chose was a 30 amp site, with two 30 amp hookups. The first we tried didn't work, so we hooked up to the second one, which worked until out AC kicked in, when it popped it's breaker. We reset it, but it was very hot, so we contacted the park and they sent someone over, who ultimately replaced both. So, all was well. When we don't have sewer hookups, we use the bath house and, although they are fairly old, they were clean. There was no washer/dryer, but we were OK with that. The park is huge and there are lots of hiking trails and the drive through the center of the park was beautiful. We drove to Warm Springs and visited the Little White House one day and Callaway Gardens another. After driving around, minus the RV, we found many other sites that we would be happy in. There are a wide variety of spots, some more private or scenic than others. We had no problem finding a spot for our satellite, but I suspect you wouldn't be as fortunate in some other spots. We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning in the future.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
We recently spent four nights at Wekiwa and we loved it. We have a large fifth wheel (38 feet), but we managed to get in our spot without much trouble. Some of the sites are a little tight, but they are manageable with a big rig. Most of the sites have quite a bit of tree cover, which can make satellite reception difficult, but we managed to get ours working, as well as our antenna. There is not much foliage between most sites, so I wouldn't say that there is a lot of privacy. There were some sewer hookups in the other loop, but we didn't have a hookup, so we used the showers at the bath house. The showers were acceptable, mostly just older and dirty from recent showers. We used them later in the day, so I suspect they received a lot of use after their cleaning. The park is beautiful, with hiking, horseback riding and the spring. We brought our own kayaks and went to Kings Landing, about 20 minutes from the park to launch. They say it's 8.5 miles down river, but Mapmyride said we went 11.8 miles. It was beautiful and completely worth it! Kings Landing picks you up at Wekiva Island and takes you back to your vehicle (they also rent canoes). We plan on returning when we are back in the area, it is a very beautiful park and we enjoyed our time in the campground.
Date of Stay: April, 2015
In a panic of needing a place to stay after our plans changed, we ended up booking two nights at Lake Louisa State Park. Unfortunately, I booked the wrong two nights and needed an additional night on the front end. I ended up with one night in one site and the other two in another (I didn't need the third night, but kept it anyway). We knew nothing about this park, but the reviews I read were good. We arrived and explained our situation to the Ranger at the gate and she found us a site for both nights. We backed into our site, which is quite narrow, but we loved the trees behind us and that we were not on top of another site. As mentioned, most sites are gravel and don't have sewer. There are a few with sewer hookups, but I couldn't find a pattern to them. The restrooms and showers in our loop where very clean. They have good firewood for sale and the camp host even suggested we wait for a new delivery, which arrived just as we were going back to our site. The park is huge, with a lot of hiking and equestrian trails and lots of paved roads for biking. It is quite hilly for florida, which makes it challenging for this flatlander to bike! There are multiple lakes and canoes available for rent, or you can bring your own. UPDATE: We have returned to Lake Louisa for a longer stay and still are happy with the park and the campground. We stayed in a different loop, but the restrooms and showers were as clean as before. We would highly recommend it.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We selected Suwannee River State Park because we planned on kayaking the rivers in the area and we prefer to stay at state parks when we can. The facilities at the park were nice, although we did not use the showers. The sites are nice, with tree cover and some level of distance between most sites. We had a corner site that was exceptionally large and was a pull-through, an added bonus. The entire loop is .3 miles, so overall it's not very large. Each site has full hookups, but some people complained that the distance to the sewer hookup was too far. We did notice that most people needed longer sewer hoses. The sewer was also high, making it difficult for liquids to flow easily into it. This was a minor annoyance, considering all the other nice things about the park. They have a washer and dryer outside of the restrooms that worked fairly well. This is a pretty park, but there isn't a lot to do in the general area. There are several short trails, which I recommend. The Lime Sink Run Trail is especially nice. There is no real place for bicycling, but the younger kids enjoyed biking the campground loop. There are no restaurants nearby. A few restaurants in Madison (10 miles). Live Oak is about 25 miles in the other direction, but you have more choices there. We stayed here for 11 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I hope that we can return sometimes.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
We camped here with friends over a long weekend and absolutely loved it. The campground is beautiful, with lots of tree cover and some level of privacy between campsites. There was enough to do in the park and in the area. It was windy when we were there, so we didn't get to go kayaking, but we still enjoyed ourselves. The restrooms near us were older, but clean and convenient. There were a couple sites with concrete pads, but mostly it was sandy and shelly. The nice thing about being closer to the beach is that you don't get a lot of the fine black dust around the campsite. There was no sewer hookup, but there is a dump station. Only complaint is the water wash-down hose at the dump station had a strange end on it and wouldn't hook up easily to our RV to flush the tanks. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
We really enjoyed our stay at Myakka River State Park. The campground area we stayed in did not have sewer, only the newer loop has that. But, our loop was very nice, shady and the bathrooms were quite clean. The campground host was friendly and sold firewood from their site, so that was convenient. The only downside was that there isn't much privacy between sites, but it really didn't bother us much. The park has much to do and one benefit of camping is you can watch the sunrise and sunset from the canopy walk. We camped here with our two grand daughters and they really enjoyed the park and the campgrounds. We would recommend this park to anyone looking to see real Florida.

Washington Jefferson Hotel
Traveler Comments
The location was great but the rooms were tiny!
The Washington Jefferson is in a great location in the heart of Manhattan, but surprisingly, the outside noise wasn't overwhelming, and we were on the 2nd floor with our window cracked open. The rooms are very, very small but nicely appointed with a desk and bureau (and even fresh flowers in our room!). The small room size took a while to get used to, but we didn't spend much time in it other than to sleep, so it wasn't too bothersome. The hotel has no on-site parking; our car was stored in a nearby garage, and the retrieval fee was high enough we left the car there the entire week we stayed at the Washington Jefferson. The hotel staff was exceptionally nice and helpful from the time they helped us unload our bags right through our check-out. I'd stay at the Washington Jefferson again, now knowing what to expect in terms of room size and parking costs.

Morris Minor & The Majors
~ Group
Morris Minor and the Majors was a British band, created by the British comedians and writers Tony Hawks and Paul Boross. The group became famous with their 1987 song "Stutter Rap", an original song in the style of the then-popular rap song "No Sleep till Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys.
The stage names of the group were "Morris Minor", "Rusty Wing" and "Phil Errup" (real names Tony Hawks, Paul Boross and Phil Judge).
The song reached No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart, No. 14 in Canada and was a No. 2 hit in Australia. It sold over 220,000 copies, but subsequent song releases never had the same popularity or sales, earning them the title one-hit wonders in the United Kingdom.
On the 45 release, the record had a joke B-side titled "Another Boring B-side", the lyrics of which parody the actual creation of the song itself.
In Australia, they had a second charting single with "This Is the Chorus" (No. 22), which parodied Stock/Aitken/Waterman.
As a result of the popularity of the song, a TV series was created in 1989, titled Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors written by and starring Hawks. On the show the fictional band leader attempted to maintain his pop music career while running an automotive garage. It ran for one series.

Reviews by Wizardino
An interesting game, but...Wizardino | July 11, 2015 | Review of Warlock Master of the Arcane Complete Edition - PC
Warlock: Master of the Arcane it's an interesting strategic/sandobx game. A sort of Civilization placed in a fantasy world, linked to the old Majestic Serie with many quotes. I played it for many hours, and i like it very much: indeed it's a very addicting game, (maybe a bit too easy), with a juicy map system that allow the player to visit warious world during the same game. But there are some defects too. First of all the lack of a serious strategic/diplomatic system. Yes you ou can sell spells, or make alliances with the I.A. ...but in a very limited way. A more depth system would have made the game significantly better. So in the end...it's not a "must buy", but it's remains a good game. Reccomemended.
Dwarfs?! Dwarf!Wizardino | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of Dwarfs - PC
A very very very funny game. In Dwarfs?! the player, the leader of a dwarfs outpost must, obviously, digs to expand his realm. The more interesting feature of the game it's that the player cant directly control the dwarfs, but only put on the terrain some arrows to indicate them where to dig/go. In additions on the map there are some "black zone", and the player cant see what is hidden there (water, treasures, lava...): the only way to discover it it's to send a dwarf, but if you break the wrong wall and free lava in your tunnels...well it's not fun. Besides the "main" game mode there are some minigames like a Tower Defense sistem, and various challenges (for example dig XXXX tiles in 5 minutes) that adds variety to the game About me a Must Buy, expecially with this price.
A goodgame but...Wizardino | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of Sid Meiers Civilization V - PC
...but in my opinion not so good as Civ IV. The possibility to have only 1 unit on a tile it's a good innovation to the gameplay, but the lack of religion (in the basic game) and a new research system make the game make less engaging. Another interesting addition it's the "city states": a sort of independent faction with which the player can make alliance, or simply destroy and conquer (but if you attack one city state usually you must fight with all of them). So..it's a very good game but different from its predecessors
I love to Dig!Wizardino | Dec. 21, 2012 | Review of A Game of Dwarves - PC
Who dont like to dig and build? In this game you are a Dwarf prince, and your objective during the campaign it's to build an happy underground realm for your dwarves, with food, decoration, traps... In some ways this game reminds me Dungeon Keeper (well here you are the Good), and this is a good point; but the are some mechanics there are not very well implemented, for example the possibility to dig "up and down" and not only at the same level of your base. Another problem it's an excessive micromanagement: your dwarves need to eat, but they are not so intelligent to return to your base when they are hungry: if you dont build a table near them when they are far away, the death it's inevitable. But for 9 euro it's a good purchase
Good "CIV" game, with Majesty loreWizardino | Dec. 11, 2012 | Review of Warlock Master of the Arcane - PC
Warlock: Master of Arcane it's a turn based strategic game published by Paradox Interactive. The game it's similar tu Civilization: you must build cities, produce food, gold (and mana, it's a fantasy game!), recruit soldiers... and your Objective it's, obviously, to win against other opponents (up to eight). You can detroy them, conquer power points (place where you can build special temples, like in Majesty 2), or launch the Unity Spell. Because in this game you can use magic! Instead of reserching new tecnologies you must research powerful and useful spell that can helpo you during your match. Another interesting point it's the possibility to hire Heroes, special unit with great power and special objects A recommended game

Ozone SMOG gaming mouse review
Smog is one of the most extreme mouse's I have tested personally in a while and we've seen a good number of them. Smog is as versatile as can be and not only that, it's a very ergonomic mouse with a great feel and guess what, an affordable sales price as well.
The Smog features an ergonomic right handed design, it has an embedded Avago 9500 laser sensor, 7+2 programmable buttons, and a DPI settings 5040 (selectable). The mouse also comes with a rubber left side grip, ceramic footpads, an adjustable weight. And sure, Macro modes for gaming profiles as well and 4-way scrolling.

Radeon HD 5970 Overclocking Guide
When the Radeon HD 5970 launched, the product was extremely well received by the hardware enthusiast community. As we stated in our article -- the product is clocked a little conservative though.
We boosted the Radeon HD 5970 Core from 725 MHz towards 935 MHz and the 4000 MHz memory is running and purring steady at 5240 MHz --- and that's a baffling result on just the reference air-cooler.

AMD no longer pays for x86 license
Looks like AMD certainly got a good deal with Intel. Last week we already reported that the AMD and Intel settled -- Intel will pay AMD $1.25 billion to squash a legal battle over Intel's sales tactics.
As it now seems there's more to the deal than we know. Both Intel and AMD agreed to a cross-license platfrom that is now royalty free. AMD doesn't have to pay anymore for the x86 license / patents owned by Intel and vice versa this is likely the same -- Intel doesn't have to cough up dough for the 64-bit patents owned by AMD.
It's good news for AMD as it severely cuts down overhead cost and it is allowed to continue to make x86 compatible processors.
Ahw -- perhaps they're best buds for life now ;)
DRAM prices to drop next month very likely
Some DRAM module makers in Taiwan are forecasting a price correction to reflect seasonal demand in December, and have expressed caution about the near-term chip pricing.
The makers have also speculated that Korea-based chipmakers who have already turned profitability are likely to take advantage of their cost competitiveness and slash prices to boost shipments.
Seasonal effects are showing in the DRAM sector, which has seen weak spot prices. But Korea suppliers now see no need to intervene in DRAM prices, since the Taiwan government is likely to fail in establishing Taiwan Innovation Memory Company (TIMC, previously Taiwan Memory Company), the module makers said. The chip vendors would allow DRAM prices to follow market mechanisms, they added.
Previous reports cited market observers as indicating that major DRAM producers intended to push chip prices upward in order to minimize the possibility of the Taiwan government going ahead with the TIMC project, which aims to revamp the island\'s capacity-driven DRAM industry.
Average spot prices for branded and effectively tested (eTT) 1Gb DDR2 chips trended down 0.76% and 1.60% in one day to close at US$2.60 and US$2.45, respectively, on November 17, according to data from DRAMeXchange. Quotes for 1Gb DDR3 also slid 0.68% during the day to US$2.89 on average [digitimes].

ASUS shows new Republic of Gamers P55 mobo
ASUS will be releasing a new ASUS Maximus III Extreme -- built for overclocking and satisfy enthusiasts with loads of interesting features as Nordic HW reports. Intel's P55 chipset supports the latest LGA1156 processors.
ASUS has designed a whole new power circuitry for the board, no less than 11 digital PWM phases. According to the manufacturer, this solution combines the best from both worlds, the digital and the analog. ASUS has taken ROG Connect to the next level by enabling overclocking via Bluetooth, which means now all you need to overclock is a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.
The motherboard also has a unique function with its LN2 Mode Header jumper that, when activated, optimize the performance of the board when cooled by liquid nitrogen. The jumper is said to trick the internal temperature diode of the CPU and reduce coldbug issues. All the neat CPU features aside, Maximus III Extreme sports five PCI Express x16 slots, which means Quad SLI with x8 bandwidth with each card, or just SLI with full x16 bandwidth. The same of course applies to CrossFireX.
Other features are SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0 and 10 channel HD audio processor.
ASUS Maximus III Extreme will top of the line, but the price remains clouded. More information should surface in two weeks at the official launch.

Detroit coach and GM discuss Pettigrew
Detriot Lions general manager Martin Mayhew and first-year head coach Jim Schwartz met with media late Saturday evening to talk about their first three picks in the NFL Draft, which included Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew at No. 20 in the first round. Here's what they had to say about the former OSU standout:
Mayhew on the team's second and third selections, Pettigrew and safety Louis Delmas from Western Michigan:
"We talked about looking for value and we found value in those picks. Brandon Pettigrew is a guy we think the world of, a really good blocker, big, physical presence in the run game and a big target for our quarterbacks and then Delmas is a very physical safety who is going to be great for us in our defense."
Mayhew on how tempting it was to go with the best defensive player at No 20 instead of Pettigrew:
"We stuck to our core values about looking for value in the draft. We weren't tempted to go offense or defense; we talked about that earlier in the week. We felt like we picked the best player. We got really good football players. We have a hole at tight end too. So we want to take the best values."
Mayhew on whether he was surprised that Pettigrew was still available at No. 20:
"Yeah, I was, we were watching him and a couple of times we were very concerned. In fact, when Philly traded up, we thought it was over. But we were just glad that he was still there."
Schwartz on Pettigrew fitting his idea for the team:
"Before I got this job – when I was interviewing for this job – we talked about a vision for this team of being a big, physical football team that's built to play on the road at Lambeau Field and on the road at Soldier Field. We went a long way to accomplishing that goal today. Brandon Pettigrew is a really, really big tight end that is an NFL-ready blocker right now. Impressive, impressive as a blocker. Really feel good about him and when you talk about drafting a young quarterback and putting pieces around him; we have a good young running back here in Kevin Smith; we have a good young receiver here in Calvin Johnson. We have a good young tackle here in Gosder Cherilus. Now we've put a good young tight end in that mix and I think we provide him with some weapons and some tools for us to be successful on offense.
Schwartz on how Pettigrew affects the overall offense:
"Well, he's a guy that can block the edge. There's not many tight ends, if you look back over the last few years, there's not many tight ends that have looked like him, that have blocked like him that have come out. If you're going to run the football, which we're going to do, you need a guy that can block the edge and he's a guy that can do that. He's a really, really big target in the passing game. He's got really soft hands; reliable hands. Not necessarily a vertical threat down the field, but he's going to be a good target in the red zone and gives a big target."
Schwartz on how Pettigrew can help receiver Calvin Johnson:
"Well, No. 1, if you want to get Calvin the ball, you better be able to run the football because that will take teams out of Cover 2 schemes. So that's No. 1. And if teams are going to play Cover 2, you need a tight end that can split them down the middle."

That time of year is once again approaching when Santa and a cast of characters will be making their way across the night skies. This will be the 10th year for the Santa Net.
This year with the coordination of Williamson County Amateur Emergency Service (WCARES – http://www.wcares.org/), the Santa Net will be running across most of Middle Tennessee on the WCARES' system of linked repeaters (If there is no weather emergency)
In addition to talking locally on 145.21 (PL 173.8), Santa will also be answering QSO's via the Echolink system (Node Number 258417 – Franklin Tennessee). The net will begin at 7:00 PM and last as long as traffic holds. Net Control will begin calling for QSO's with Santa after 7:15 PM. Please be considerate. Santa can not take everybody's QSO at 7:15 so please if you can wait until a little later in the evening please do so…. Santa will appreciate it…. It is a busy night for him after all.
Santa will again be accepting special information about the younger listeners to the Santa.
Please forward any special information about your special little one to: email@example.com. Please put "Santa Net" in the Subject Line.
Include : Name (And if the name is unusual a phonetic spelling along with it would be helpful)
Boy or Girl
A general location or street (Specific address is not needed)
Maybe name a special present that Santa will be packing just for them.
Any other tid-bits that Santa should know about the individual child that would make the QSO with Santa special for them.
And if your child has a "Special Elf" stationed in the home.
Of course all hams are always welcome to join in the fun with any and all reports of Santa sightings and mysterious happenings.
Hams should take the opportunity to let any friends that are scanner owners know about the net and the fun of ham radio. Bruce has made honorable mentions for children of scanner owners in the past and is happy to do so again. Just send the above information via the above email.
I know Christmas Eve is a busy time in many homes but please try to tune in. This has always been fun in the past and I hope to make it a fun and special night again this year.

There are several thing you can do to study. You can purchase a ARRL study book for the technician test at this site: http://www.arrl.org/studying-for-a-technician-license
You can also take the on-line tests at this site: http://www.qrz.com/p/testing.pl
Both are good sources for leaning. Sorry I didn't see your message earlier. I don't believe the club has any classes scheduled right now. We have done them in the past and they have been a great success. Good luck with getting your tech license. It looks like the next testing will be in November.
26 December 2013 at 20:10
Hey KJ4BLG, I just recently got my Tech ticket and wanted to spread the word on what I used to study. I found someone on YouTube who has created entire courses on all the amateur radio exams. They are very well done and it defiantly helped me.
You can find him at this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/merryviking?feature=watch
Hope that helped!

I am the Emergency Management Coordinator at University Medical Center in Lebanon. Due to the recent clarifications by the FCC regarding employees of healthcare facilities who are also HAM operators who participate in drills violates the FCC regs, we are looking for volunteer operators to participate in the monthly hospital net on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. We would also want these volunteer operators to be available to us in a disaster. If anyone is willing to help us, please contact me at 453-8257. Thank you!!
21 January 2010 at 15:17
The Hospital Net meets the third Thursday of each month at 12 noon. The appropriate HAM group in Wilson County is ARES, of which I am a member. I don't do anything on the radio for UMC that violates anything FCCC.
Tom Parker and I were there for the Net check-in today, and it went fine. Again, Jamestown didn't respond.
31 October 2009 at 09:44
Nice new look for the website. Maybe we can keep this one updated a little more. It's also nice we can interact with the website and leave feedback without having to do it via e-mail. Keep up the good work.

The product's quality is good overall, except for some of the gold-paint accents which are partly faded or undone, but it's nothing too terrible, it doesn't seriously affect the piece.
I think this problem may have to do with storage conditions (the print says it's from '04 on one of its corners)

KUALA LUMPUR: A club, which was to host a "topless" pool party in Jalan Ampang on April 11, has been shut down for a week and its event cancelled by City Hall.
This came after an outcry by Umno Youth and PAS, calling for authorities to stop the event, which called on party goers to show up in bikinis and boy shorts, or less, and where alcoholic prizes were reportedly to be given for the "best dirty dancers".
City mayor Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib confirmed that the authorities had thrown a blanket over the topless party, saying the club, The Pool KL, did not have a licence to host such an event.
Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor ordered the club to cease operations for a week pending investigations and said DBKL would also be issuing a show-cause letter to the operators.
"If we find their response unsatisfactory, we may shut down the place permanently," Tengku Adnan said.
The event, which was reportedly going to feature acts like Roshan from K-Town Clan, DJ Augie, DJ Nesh, DJ Jenni-F and DJ Vin, charged men RM35 for entry, while women could enter free.
Its promotional poster, which features a scantily clad woman, states that the dress code was "bikinis/boy shorts (the lesser the better)" and that a barrel of beer, bottles of whiskey and tattoo vouchers would be given to the winners of the party's "Best Dirty Dancers Competition".
When contacted, the party's concept creator claimed the event was still in its planning phase and that The Pool KL had not confirmed the date.
The man, who only gave his name as Pablo, claimed the poster being circulated by Netizens was a sample and the product of a brainstorming session, which was not meant to be seen by the public.
"We do not know how it was leaked. We think we are being sabotaged. There was no party planned yet," claimed Pablo, who apologised to Muslims offended by the poster.
A City Hall statement said the party was being organised by Tetuan Nihonkan Sdn Bhd for this Friday and that City Hall had not received any application for such a party.
"Even if an application had been submitted, it would not be approved as this is not in accordance with licensing guidelines. The organiser was also found to have displayed the advertisement without approval from City Hall," it said.
City Hall said it would issue a show-cause letter to the organiser, to which it must reply in writing why its premises and entertainment licences and other licences should not be rescinded.

Vernon, Fl-- It appears the folks at Vernon have settled on former Blountstown coach Bobby Johns as the next head coach of the Yellow Jackets. Newschannel 7 has learned Johns was a finalist for the job, and we've also learned he's informed his current team he's leaving that school to come to Vernon.
Coach Johns has spent the last two years as the head coach at Bacon High School about an hour northeast from Valdosta, Georgia. Before that he spent some time at his alma mater at Baker County High School in Macclenny, Florida.
Befor that he had a very successful run at Blountstown. In 2004 he led the Tigers to a 15-1 record and a 1A state runner up finish. His 2005 team went 13-1 and made it to the region finals. In his 15 years as a head coach Johns has won 115 games. He takes over in Vernon for coach Ryan Boyd who was let go
after a 1-9 season.

Google's Larry Page promises inexpensive tablet future
In case you missed the earlier reports Google had their Q1 earnings call for 2012 today. Speaking on multiple things from Search, Chrome, Android, Google+ and more we were able to enjoy a few comments from CEO Larry Page. One in particular (other than their 10 billion revenues) was his quick but subtle answers when questioned about Android tablets. Below are some quotes right from Google's CEO himself.


text: Bremerton City Council said thanks, but no thanks, to a proposal from Mayor Cary Bozeman that would have been the beginning of the end for the only two bars (we don't count Anthony's as a "bar") left downtown, to make way for a public plaza. The most vocal opponent of the bill, South Pacific Sports Bar owner Mary Jo Rose, told the Kitsap Sun newspaper: "We have a lot of work to do. We want to make the city council proud of us and make the people proud of us."

Simulation-based prediction of reliability and robustness of interconnect systems for semiconductor applications
The article at hand presents the results of thermoelectrical simulations of migration effects in integrated interconnect systems in comparison to measurement data. The simulation concept will be described and the output values as mass flux divergence and time-to-failure (TTF) will be discussed.
In a typical ASIC semiconductor facility, there are hundreds of products processed on dozens of different equipments with unequal characteristics. Sequence depended equipment setups, failures, preventive maintenance and product specific re-entrant flows cause a high variability in factory performance measures. Also different customer demands, which are natural in the foundry business, should be taken into account (e.g. delivery dates or throughput). To reduce the variability and to improve the factory performance a robust and efficient dispatching and scheduling strategy is vital.
Inline defect control systems are used across the semiconductor industry for detection of process failures like equipment issues or yield problems. Besides to the goal to improve the yield of each process, it may have a negative influence on factory performance as well. The measurement of all lots in all defect control monitors of a process is not feasible, even when there are bottleneck situations.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a serious threat to integrated circuits (ICs) that can cause irreversible damage. This webinar on ESD protection will show you solutions on how to eliminate ESD threats in complex analog/mixed-signal and high-voltage designs. It covers an overview of various ESD protection concepts, and explains the structures and schemes available to protect against electrostatic discharge in X-FAB's enhanced 0.35 and 0.18 micrometer XH035 and XH018 high-voltage foundry processes. The webinar presentation also highlights similarities and differences among ESD protection concepts, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each in circuit designs.
X-FAB, a pure play foundry, has already extensive experience in volume production of monolithic integrated MEMS devices. The idea of combining CMOS and MEMS processes to obtain monolithic integrated sensor solutions is a logical, consequent step following the "More than Moore" strategy.
PIN photodiodes are often used in optical integrated circuits. Although they can feature a very good RF-performance, this can be effected by the optical power density of the incident light. The influence of this effect on the RF-performance of PIN photodiodes is described. When a critical optical power density in the epi-layer is exceeded the 3dB frequencies are cut off. An analytical equation is derived to describe the effect. The results are compared to RF measurements and verified by numerical simulation.
Moore's law has been a strong influence on mainstream microelectronics over the past few decades, where the trends of decreasing feature size and increasing transistor count have driven the semiconductor industry forward. This philosophy has worked very well for memories and microprocessors in the digital world. Additional analog functions, by interfacing with the physical world, enable cost-optimized and value-added system solutions.
Based on specific technology flows, various surface layers are bonded by glass frit wafer bonding. In this paper, the behaviour of typical layers, such as TEOS, Nitride and thermal oxide, and their effect on the bonding results are introduced.
Looking for new improvement options such as new dispatching rules of an existing semiconductor fabrication facility, a detailed model is indispensable to check the data quality as well as detecting main influences of the facility and finally testing the new optimization approaches. In this paper, the whole way is described starting from the data acquisition and finishing with a appropriate model. In this study the modeling tool AnyLogic 6 is used. The model generation process show how important a reliable factory database is and shows first appendages of automated model generation. An other important fact presented is the verification of the model according to real factory performance indicators.
In this webinar you will learn how X-FAB can support & manufacture your power system-on-chips (SoC) with its latest 0.18 micrometer technology (XP018). This foundry process for power management applications comes with a unique combination of high-voltage and high-density non-volatile memory (NVM) options with the lowest mask count in the industry. Find out why it is well-suited for cost optimized migration of existing solutions in larger geometries to 180 nanometers. You will also learn about the various memory options and its competitive RDSon for switching and power control in the 15V, 25V, 40V, 60V range.

Retired old curmudgeon, sharing space with numerous cats, books, prints, broken furniture and other detritus of 19th and 20th century life.
I've always enjoyed the peace and serenity in old cemeteries. When I was small, my gg-grandmother, g-grandmother, grandmother & mother would pack a picnic lunch, usually on Easter sunday and the whole family would visit our ancestors in Forest Park cemetery in Houston. Afterwards I would feed stale bread to the swans, geese and ducks and we would eat lunch by the lake in the middle of the cemetery under the spreading branches of the old oak trees. I was destined to become a taphophile.
I discovered some old photos while going through a recently-deceased relative's possessions. Among the collection were several photos of five generations of my ancestors, almost seventy-five years ago, dressed in their Sunday go-to-church clothes, with my gg-grandmother holding me in her lap, the first-born of the next generation, with the cemetery lake in the background. What a find!

RE: Benjamin Swan
Hi. The only Benjamin I have info on is Benjamin Franklin Swann (1924-1945)who was my great-uncle, Eliga Edgar Swann's son. BF was killed in WWII and his wife, Gladys, remarried (Bollen). When she remarried, she and BF's daughter, Shirley, who was very young, moved to LA and she still lives in that area. Our Swann family is primarily in Polk and Haralson Counties in Georgia. I'm not sure this is the family you are researching.

Jesse Walter Byars
You left flowers on his page and wrote some incorrect information. Jesse Walter Byars (1892 - 1962) was never married. There is a Walter J Byars (1890 - 1979) who married Orra Peppers. Just thought you'd like to know.

text: foz 101 July 23, 2009 2:09 PM I was at the '93 GP and it was a cracking race. Apart from the big crash at the esses which took mixed it up early, it looked like Carl Fogarty on a wildcard factory Cagiva ride would finish on the podium and go a long way to getting him a coveted permanent GP ride and proving he had what it takes. As it turned out he had a problem with tyres (or fuel maybe?) and came in 4th. In many ways MacKenzie's ride was the better one as he was on an inferior bike but had the pace to bring it home. I suspect it's at least in his top 3 career moments too. The crowd went mental at the pair of them.The other abiding memory is watching the sidecar race. Superb.

I have this HTML div with or withouth embeded content, I want to block right and left click. So if the user clicks or right clicks nothing happens.
Can you do that with HTML/CSS/ Java Script ?
Basicly this is a question about breaking the rules, say you have an youtube embeded video in a div in html, how do you block the click from the user so that if he clicks the video he does not go to youtube dot com.
*note, i am not interested in youtube only, i just want a way to block clicks and right clicks in a div.
So take a much simple scenario:
In a basic HTML page, there is a div with absolute position and size, If the user clicks a link in that div I want it not to work, but if he clicks a link anywhere else on a page I want it to work.
