The 911 BC was introduced in 1997, in response to many requests from Public Safety divers for a system designed to fit their needs.
It is based on the Tech BC platform, with a twin buckle front closure, but has additional features. These include SOLAS standard symbols on buckles, reflective trim on the bladder, additional D-rings, pockets for long octopus hose storage on each bladder wing, and an included split saddle harness.
The 911 has been proven to be a durable and flexible platform by a large number of public safety agencies. Contact your Zeagle dealer for more information.

Are Zeagle BC's worn differently?
Yes. Because of the uniqueness of the design, the Zeagle System will fit quite differently from a conventional BC. The waistband will be lower, well below the diaphragm (so it won't restrict your breathing), the front of the BC is open, reducing restrictions further, and the buoyancy is low down on the back and sides, where it can expand outward without compressing your chest. The result is greater comfort and a more balanced attitude in the water.
Why do you put the weights in the BC?
Including the weights as part of the buoyancy system improves balance and comfort in the water- it keeps your body from being pulled in different directions by the opposing forces of lift and weights. All Zeagle BC's since 1982 have been designed to be weight integrated.
How do you drop the weights in an emergency?
Zeagle's patented Ripcord system allows for a single point instantaneous release of the weights from almost any position in the water. When compared to a weightbelt release or the two handed systems used on many other weight integrated BC's the Ripcord is far simpler and more reliable. Some BC's offer a more economical pull out system that requires a two sided release to drop all the weights.
Isn't it too heavy to lift?
In most circumstances we recommend that the diver put on their BC first, then place the weights in the weight pockets. This avoids having to lift the entire scuba system and weights together.
What's the Personal Fit System?
People come in more than five sizes- the Personal Fit System is a system of interchangeable components that allows your Zeagle dealer to custom fit a buoyancy system to your body and your style of diving. In addition to fitting waist size, chest size, and torso length independently, we can adjust the style of various components and the amount of lift in the buoyancy system to match the type of diving you do.
Do you make BC's for women?
Zeagle's Personal Fit System was designed with women in mind. It's very common for women to fit a size smaller in the shoulder section of a Zeagle BC than they fit in the waist size- a medium waist with small shoulders, for example. On our heavy duty BC's we offer narrower women's shoulder sections with smaller buckles that will fit women's upper bodies better. Of course the advantages of weight integration and doing away with the weightbelt are often even greater for women than for men. The greatest difficulty in properly sizing a woman's Buoyancy System is not finding a smaller size, or allowing for the bust, but lies in the fact that women's bodies have a defined waist where a waistband must fasten in order to secure the BC. At the same time, women tend to have both a shorter torso length and a lower center of buoyancy compared to men. So conventional buoyancy systems,which would ideally be worn lower for best balance and comfort, must be worn higher, around the narrowest part of the waist, in order to be secure. Zeagle has two BC models specifically designed with these considerations in mind; - The Zena is an extremely light and comfortable BC, ideally suited for warmer water diving. It is designed and constructed to be worn over a bathing suit or light warm water suit. The Zena's twin waist and hip band system provides a way for women to securely position the weights and buoyancy below waist level, around the body's center of buoyancy. - The LaZer is a heavier-duty BC with the same ideal fit for a woman's body shape. It is still considered to be a travel BC and can be worn over a bathing suit, but it is also made to be worn over a wetsuit or drysuit that might be needed in local diving conditions. It has all the features of the very popular Stiletto BC, but with a vest that is scooped at the rear to comfortably accommodate a shorter torso and wider hips than a Stiletto.
Will it float you face down?
Zeagle BCs are designed to fit low on the body so the lift is positioned near the body's center of buoyancy. This results in a very neutral surface flotation, leaving the diver free to assume any position in the water. Many non-Zeagle rear flotation BC's fit high on the chest, the same way most nonintegrated jacket style BC's fit. In addition to being less comfortable, this volume of lift high on the back can cause the diver to be rotated forward when attempting to stay upright on the surface.
Can I wear a weightbelt with a Zeagle?
It isn't necessary, and it adds bulk and weight.
Which BC is best for me?
Zeagle makes buoyancy systems for everyone– from the occasional vacation diver to the most professional Search and Recovery divers. Your dealer can help you select a system and appropriate accessories based on you size, experience, diving environment, the kind of diving you do, and the kind of diving you want to do in the future.
What about construction and warranty?
All Zeagle Buoyancy Systems are hand sewn from the best available materials and heavily reinforced at all stress points. Our style of construction is labor intensive and expensive, but it results in a more durable, better fitting BC. Individual components of the system are replaceable or repairable if damaged. This quality of construction makes it possible for us to offer a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. If a defect appears or the system fails at any time while you own it, Zeagle will repair or replace the system free of charge.
Where can I get user's guides for Zeagle Products?
Downloadable versions of product owner's manuals are in PDF format, which is a file format that can be viewed and printed from virtually any computer platform.
Your BC is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship. This guarantee does not cover damages from accident, abuse, neglect, alterations, improper usage, normal wear & tear or failure to provide reasonable care. To validate your warranty you must fill out and return your warranty registration by regular mail or e-mail, within 30 days of purchase. All warranty claims will be handled through Zeagle, or an authorized Zeagle Dealer.
here is the serial number on my BC?
In 2009 we began serializing the bladder assembly of our BCs. To find the serial number look at the left side (your right if you were wearing the BC) in between the vest and bladder. Roughly where the top tank band is inserted into the vest you should see a 1.5' long white tag with the serial number stamped onto it. If you do not see this tag you can select 'My product does not have a serial number' when registering your BC.
How can I set my BC up for Twin Cylinders?
All Zeagle Heavy-Duty Ballistic BCs (Ranger, Ranger LTD, Tech, 911, SAR) as well as backplate systems, can be used with twin tanks. The easiest method is to use the Twin Cylinder Mounting Plates.

26th Annual Crusin' Nationals - Paso Oh-Seven!Written by on October 19, 2007 Contributors: Marc Gewertz The 26th Annual Cruisin' Nationals
Of all the shows and events I attend year in, year out, there are but a few that I anticipate as highly as one: Paso Robles, or more appropriately, West Coast Kustoms' Cruisin' Nationals. The reasoning is quite simple, really, but let me explain, as I'm sure many of you might share the same sentiments about a particular event as well.
Basically, I've been attending Paso for longer than I've been employed as a magazine editor; so roughly since 1991. I've watched the event grow enormously, but more importantly, I've witnessed the "presence" change over the years-today, many of the younger attendees weren't even licensed to drive when I cut my teeth in Paso. That's both good and bad, but I won't waste time digressing on the negative aspects.
What's kept me coming back year after year is, strangely enough, the people, not just the vehicles. In a way, Paso's sort of like an annual reunion, a place I get to see and hang out with good friends who, if not for the show, I'd probably rarely have the chance to be with. And because of that, I made the executive decision that this year, I'd be off the clock-for once, I was going to be an actual participant and enjoy myself! And let me tell you, I'm going to have a really hard time gettin' back in the swing of actually working an event, that's for sure.
Nevertheless, I knew that somehow, some way, I'd have to get my hands on photos from this year's show. Well, as fate would have it, a guy who's always come to my rescue when I needed it, Marc Gewertz, was kind enough to stand in for me and provide the necessary images. Thanks, Marc! Hopefully you all will enjoy his photos half as much as I enjoyed my much-needed time off.
While it's not a truck-specific event per se, WCK's Cruisin' Nats attracts a huge amount of pickups each and every year. For more information on past and future shows, check out www.westcoastcruise.com.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Though not totally completed yet, Jack Sorenson's '50 Chevy five-window is definitely going to be a standout custom with a beautifully done fade paint job, Astro Supremes on "dual" pinner whitewalls, and numerous unique touches like the Buick headlights and modified Caddy bumper.They don't call it the Cruisin' Nationals for nuthin'. Friday night, Paso's main drag, Spring Street, is cordoned off exclusively for registered participants to, well, cruise!Personally, I'm not a big fan of 5 mph (or slower) cruising-but that's probably because of my bad luck streak with overheating engines! However, the cruise down Spring can be a lot of fun. In the past, it was great to watch from the old A&W drive-in-unfortunately, they tore that down earlier this year.And speaking of custom trucks, get a load of Craig Hahn's slick F-100. Marc took the time to grab a full feature on the truck, so keep an eye out for that coming soon.Jack Rudy's been a Paso regular for probably as long as the event's been held. He's also not afraid to jump in his truck and head to an East Coast event on a whim. His chopped and purple two-toned Chevy recently got a well-deserved facelift, including the nekkid lady hubcaps.Whether a coincidence or not, '58-59 Chevy slab-sides seem to be quite popular these days. Whatever it may be, Alvin Garnica's Apache looked amazing with its metalflake accents layin' low over whitewalled five-spokes.You may have noticed a theme here-that being a majority of white sidewall tires? Yes, it's true, Paso is where all the whitewalls meet every Memorial Day weekend!And while on the topic of familiar sites, you won't find an overabundance of carnauba wax being used,...
Mike Bettencourt's '29 Ford closed-cab was reminiscent of the early Hot Rod magazine, among other things, especially with its Tom Pollard (Dragnet roadster) like flames and traditional touches throughout.Another common item found at the show on an annual basis is a considerable amount of '47-54 Chevy pickups. And as of late, quite a few have been of the rarer '54 variety.

Kitchen Nightmares – Gordon Calms Campania
November 29, 2007 05:46 AM by Joe Reality
Written By Jennifer Brown.Tonight The Chef helps a Fairlawn, New Jersey restaurant with a high school feel.
Now, this ought to be interesting. Take a formula consisting of: Smiling Restaurant Owner + Happy, Tight-Knit Staff + Grinchy Gordon Ramsay, and what are you likely to get? Do I hear predictions of fireworks? Bloodshed? Or will Campania bring out the soft and fuzzy in The Good Chef?
Tonight Gordon travels to Fairlawn, New Jersey, to help ailing Italian restaurant, Campania, with a history of success but a new owner who's managed to sink so low into debt in just 18 months the place is on the verge of shutting down.
Meet Joe, the happy, ever-smiling owner with a clear passion for food, but an unclear eye on business. Meet Joe's wife, sweet and supportive, but worried that a tanking Campania will dismantle her life. Meet Pat, Joe's mom, who's worried about Joe's stress level.
And then meet the staff, which bop onto the screen like The Brady Bunch: Gene (Head Chef), Jessica (waitress), Josette (waitress), and Ariana (waitress). Think slamming lockers and cheerleading camp and mixers, because this staff goofs off like a bunch of high school kids.
Gordon arrives to Campania in a taxi, and right away notes the poor location of the place (in a strip mall). But at least he's managed to walk through the door without getting bleeped, so the place must have promise. He's seated and soon Joe comes out to greet him. Right away, Gordon picks on Joe's hand gestures. Joe brushes it off and keeps that grin plastered. "I was smiling," he says, "but my heart was racing."
Gordon proclaims the soup "bland," and says the pasta sauce has too much garlic in it, but he hasn't called it "pet food" or raced to the restroom to vomit, so one can imagine the food is actually pretty good. He's put off that he can hear happiness coming from the kitchen.
He calls Joe out on the carpet about the food, and Joe's not too happy. "I think it was a mistake that I did this," Joe says.
Next, Gordon hits the fridges to see what he can uncover. What he notices is that there's way too much food for the amount of customers that Campania pulls in. He decides that Joe's throwing his profits away in food!
It's time to oversee a service, and the first thing Gordon does to warm the hearts of the Campania employees is make Joe send half of them home. Then the customers start coming in and it becomes clear what Campania is known for: waiting forever for your food to arrive. Some of the food comes back with bad reviews, and nearly everyone goes out with doggy bags because the portions are so huge. "I think that's what the people like," Joe defends, but Gordon counters, "You're throwing thousands of dollars down the drain!"
Gordon presses the issue with Joe while sitting at a table in the dining room while customers are around. This embarrasses Joe who, for the first time loses his cool (and his smile). "Why are you embarrassing me in front of my customers?" he booms.
Gordon decides to take a side trip to Joe's house for a heart-to-heart with Melissa. She breaks down in tears and Gordon shows his soft side, gently encouraging her and assuring her that the restaurant will turn around.
It's time to hit the kitchen, where Chef Ramsay gives the guys some pointers on plating techniques. "Having Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen – that was pretty cool," Joe says. Gordon also creates a signature dish for Campania – meatballs. They hit the streets with t-shirts and free meatballs and try to pump up customers for the restaurant.
In the meantime, the design team has added a new sign and has made the restaurant look a thousand times more inviting, and has also replaced Campania's broken oven with a brand new gi-normous one. "It was just alive," Joe says (smiling, of course). "The restaurant was alive."
Time for the relaunch and Gordon gets everyone familiar with the new, streamlined Campania menu, featuring their signature meatballs. He also creates a waitstaff "Bingo" challenge, where the first one to sell every item on the menu wins a $100 bonus (Josette ends up the winner).
Things start out looking great, but soon there are some unhappy customers. One, an older lady, is very loud about it. "Even I can cook better than that," she boasts, adding that she wouldn't serve this food to her dog. After examining the food and deciding that it's fine, Gordon turns into SUPERCHEF TO THE RESCUE!!! Gordon rushes out to the dining room and promptly tells the lady off. "Unfortunately, you're talking out of your rear," he tells her. Later, as another customer is leaving, he gives us,
The Quote of the Night:
[Waving goodbye to other customers, with Complainer Lady standing beside him griping away about the food,] "Goodnight,and so sorry about the old bag."
As the restaurant fills, the stress begins to get at Joe, who needs to take a breather. He heads out to the dining room to schmooze a little, and while he's gone, Gene gets backed up in the kitchen. Soon we have more unhappy customers, who feel they've had to wait too long for their food and then complain that they felt like they were eating "Ragu" (hey, I like Ragu!). When Joe doesn't give them the explanation they feel they deserve, one lady in particular continues on and on (and on and on) about it to anyone who'll listen, until finally another customer confronts her in the parking lot about it. There's a screaming match and a police officer on a nearby neighborhood patrol comes and breaks it up.
But in the meantime, Joe's come back to the kitchen to finish out a successful dinner service.
Afterward, Gordon gives the team a pep talk about keeping up the good work. Melissa and Mom wrap themselves around him and soon the whole staff is laughing and having a great time the way they like to do, and breaking plates with Chef G in celebration. The restaurant has made 3 times the amount of money it had made just the night before. "You hate to see him go," Gene says as Chef Ramsay leaves. And dare I say,I think I saw a smile on The Chef's face as he went,?

that's a cool looking map, and is that the real name or just a placeholder.. cuz it's an awesome name.
Well, I picked up a commission for a this fantasy board game, and this is the rough layout I pitched. My only complaint thus far is that the center mountain doesn't have as much 3d 'pop' as I'd like. The fellow said he liked it but that he wanted to see one more style before deciding what he wanted, so I am not sure I'll continue to work on or develop this particular one, but I'll try to post more progress as I go.
For the next style, I'm to make it look like a "treasure map," so I need to figure out how to make it look treasure-mappy while still being colorful and useful from an overhead view... hmm.
that's a cool looking map, and is that the real name or just a placeholder.. cuz it's an awesome name.
Thanks DevinNight! I am pretty sure it is a place holder: the final title will have "LOL" and "FTW!" added on elaborate script on either side. You know, to keep it classy.
That's pretty cool looking and I love Hexagons. Looks like it's got a lot of elevations they way some of the seem to pop up at you.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

This is the board game art commission I created for Fox Enterprises Limited. The game, Story Board will be available on The Game Crafter soon. Special thanks go to Ramah at The Cartographer's Guild for his town and castle mapping elements, of which I made use. Ramah - you rock my socks--both of them.
Looks very nice! I am guessing its a "roll&move" game with some twists with the Story cities? Maybe Story cards that affect the power of the four elements, which in turn influences which quadrant of the map is the easiest one to traverse? Am I close?
May I ask how you created the "crayon scratch" effect for the color transitions? I really liked that effect. (And don't tell me it is hand-drawn )

To tell you the truth, I didn't read the rules, I just followed art direction! That was my general sense of it though, yeah. I probably should have asked more questions! The coloring was actually just a grunge brush with rotation and scattering on it. I wish I could tell you which one it was or where I got it, but I have so many brushes and I honestly have no idea! I remember it was a really light, sparse brush...
Awright, thanks!! I gotta play more with the brush settings in PS, seems there is a lot of stuff you can do there...
Glad you found a use for the elements.
Interesting how you departed from the original, heavily textured version into a more hand-drawn style.
Good job.

Agent cancels all future races for Pistorius
JOHANNESBURG Oscar Pistorius' track career was put on hold indefinitely Sunday because of his murder charge, reinforcing the possibility that the double-amputee Olympian and disabled sports icon might never run again competitively on his famous carbon fiber blades.
Pistorius' agent was forced to cancel all future races, he said, so Pistorius could concentrate on defending himself against allegations he murdered his model girlfriend by shooting her several times in his upscale house on Valentine's Day morning.
Reeva Steenkamp died from gunshot wounds suffered inside Pistorius' home in the predawn hours of Thursday. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder the same day. His family denies he murdered her.
"I have decided that following these tragic events that we have no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in," agent Peet van Zyl said in a written statement late Sunday night.
A few hours earlier, Van Zyl had visited his athlete at a police station in the South African capital, Pretoria, where he is being held in custody in a red-bricked, one-story building with green metal fencing.
Pistorius has been there since Friday following the shocking developments at his villa in a gated community in Pretoria's eastern suburbs where Steenkamp was shot dead.
Her death and Pistorius' arrest stunned South Africans, who revered Pistorius for his humble nature and success at overcoming adversity to become an international star, despite having his lower legs amputated as a baby.
Pistorius still had "overwhelming support" from his fans, Van Zyl said as he left Brooklyn police station, but the agent steered away from a question from a reporter on what Pistorius' emotional state was now like following the death of his girlfriend and a possible realization that his entire career was in ruins.
Pistorius' sponsors - including big-name brands Nike and eyewear manufacturer Oakley - were also sticking by him, Van Zyl said. But that could depend on the outcome of a possibly lengthy murder trial.
"Regarding sponsors and partners, I can confirm that at this point in time, all parties are supportive and their contractual commitments are maintained," Van Zyl's In Site Athlete Management company said. "They have said they are happy to let the legal process takes its course before making any change in their position."
The Beaverton, Ore-based Nike Inc. and Foothill Ranch, Calif.-based Oakley Inc. did not immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Pistorius was quickly arrested and charged with murder Thursday, with prosecutors saying at his first court appearance a day later that they would pursue a more serious premeditated murder charge, which carries a life sentence.
Pistorius broke down and wept in the court, with his face in his hands. His family later denied he murdered Steenkamp and said the state's own evidence "strongly refutes" any possibility of a murder.
"I am not going to comment on anything except that (what) is related to his athletics career at this point in time," Van Zyl told reporters outside the police station after being asked how Pistorius was coping. "Obviously from a management side and also as a friend, it's a tragic circumstance and events that have unfolded and we can only give Oscar our support at this point in time."
Family members and his lawyers also visited Pistorius on Sunday, but declined comment both when they arrived and when they left the city center police station.
The family of Steenkamp, a model, law graduate and budding reality TV star, told The Associated Press that her body had been released by police after an autopsy and was back in their hometown of Port Elizabeth on South Africa's southern coast.

Spring is the time for prints: florals, usually, and this past fashion week saw some weirdo forays into Hawaiian. However, three of the biggest trends to emerge for prints weren't actually about flowers: we saw geometric patterns, plenty of ombre and animals. …I don't mean leopard spots or tiger stripes, but prints of animals: birds, butterflies, even a few zebras.

The cover of the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has been unveiled and tennis WAG Brooklyn Decker has grabbed the highly-coveted spot this year! The 22-year old and wife to Andy Roddick is appearing in the big issue for the fifth time but first time on the cover.
Her tennis ballin' hubby tweeted this after finding out the news: "so happy/proud of my wife... the new cover for sports illustrated swimsuit issue!!!! unreal... so excited!!!!!!!!!!"
Click here for more images and video of Brooklyn's photoshoot.
A swimsuit-clad Ana Ivanovic is also making an appearance in this year's issue in a shoot that looks eerily similar to another former lady baller's photoshoot for K-Swiss:
See guys - who needs to win tennis matches when you look as good as these women? Just toss a net around their bodies, push them into a vat of balls and you've got a career (and a lifetime supply of adidas duds as well.)

Poor Ana - you got the NYC studio shoot. Whoever produced these pics did a terrible job. We get it, she's a tennis player; enough of the net. Practically every shot looks the same.ReplyDelete

Hahaha...you say career????what career are you talking about?lol! poor girl...everything she does turns out to be epic fail!ReplyDelete
I'm not going to lie, I find these pics very HOT! I don't know hw anybody can think otherwise. But I am a bit....check that, really shocked to see her pose like that. It just doesn't fit Ana's image. You know?ReplyDelete
Overall, I got mixed feelings. The man in me loves the shoot, the tennis fan in me doesn't. At least not when she is slumping. Her FHM pics came out right after she won RG, so the timing was much better. And the fact that she did in around USO, where she lost in the 1st round doesn't exactly make her look good. Now the Anna K comparisonns will start up again and understandable somewhat.
I'm still enjoying them though. LOL

anyone notice how in ana's first pic it looks like they photoshopped the net right under her hand? looks totally awkward...ReplyDelete

OMG. When did Ana change into that model wannabe oh-so-hard-trying-to-look-sexy? Pathetic. Her slump, attitude, website, management, lifetime deal with adidas...ReplyDelete
But she will definitely gain more fans, allright. But they will adore her for her looks and cheesy photoshoots. What about your TENNIS fans, Ana? But does it really matter to you?
I want you back on court. Quit posing for cheesy crap and go work your butt out there! And don't return unless you get at least your balltoss right!

I couldn't agree more with Rebecca!ReplyDelete
I think Ana's the most gorgeous girl on the WTA tour these days, but I feel these shots really don't do her much justice. She just looks awkward. She has no curves at all - even when she's trying to curve her body! Ahh the life of a poor little, rich, gorgeous girl!ReplyDelete
And when the hell is SI going to get a men's swimsuit issue? Rafa in swim trunks -- or less, preferably -- would sell millions. No billions!

The color green doesn't suit you gals. Ana is not only stunning, she is intelligent and gracious. Advertizers would not covet her for promos if she were not marketable. None of you armchair atheletes impact her life and don't know crap about the real Ana. As for that barb that Ana fails at all she tries, crawl back under the rock you came from. Ana is living the life you only dream about. Beauty, brains, talent, popularity,great family( cultured professionals) and one hot boyfriend in Australia. You could only hope to be such a failure.If she never wins a slam again, she has reached a level that few acquire. When have any of you naysayers reached the top 100 in the world at anything?

Tv Tuners
Posted 17 August 2011 - 09:03 PM
Told him to take back the TV ( new out of box today) and get a Panasonic. His mate at Harv Norman said all the tuners are the same so he's looking for an arguement. AFAIK there are about four tuner manufacturers- guessing Thomson, Phillips, Samsung and ...? Can anyone shed light on this? I assume that not only the tuner but the firmware running the COFDM process through the tuner sets the TV's ability to maintain a solid picture.
Posted 17 August 2011 - 10:16 PM
Have to sympathize with you on this one.
First off ,guessing being rural that there are probably no strong signals around E.G analog TV,FM radio ,Phone towers etc as these can cause issues with a "lesser" quality tuner but can be filtered out if the problem.But definitely must be checked before blaming Tuner.
Bad tuners have always been a problem.
Even in analog days you would get the odd one that had a snowy pic or herringbone patterns or bad ringing but these were one offs rather than model related.( until the Chinese crap hit the market circa 2000 and POOR TUNERS proliferated)
With Digital you still get the odd one that leaves the factory that doesn't work as it should .Generally these are also one offs .
There have been several STBs that did perform "on average" more poorly than other brands particularly on less than ideal signals .DGtec and Wintel come to mind .
There have been some models of TV with Digital tuners that were unable to handle fluctuations in signals as would happen when wind blows trees in path.Some Sonys and LG models as I recall .
As an installer when faced with one of these "dogs" we have to decide when its no longer our problem.
I guess I feel for the customer as The usual scenario is that TV is returned to the service center where it is tested for a short period of time and in almost every case is returned as" no fault found".They are stuck with a lemon and we have to try to make it work.
Often faulty tuners only start to play up once the Sets warmed up or only when its cold.The temperature of the service center or the amount of soak test time will have a bearing on whether the fault shows up or not.
Often the service center is in a different area and isn't on the same channels so the fault doesn't appear possibly due to different characteristics of the tuner at different frequencies. ( obviously re-tuned to test)
The signal levels at the service center will usually be different from what you had at the customers house. Sometimes much weaker sometimes much stronger.Again these variations may or may not show up the fault condition experienced at customers home.
Things I've used to trick a "dog"
1) Fit a FL3BPMH filter to knock out any out of band crap
2) Fit a variable attenuator and fixed ones to see if it will play the game with very low signals .
3) Fit a small distribution amp say around 12-16dB to see if more signal helps.
4) If its a UHF adjacent analog channel issue ,carefully notching it out with a Laceys SF4/SF5 can fix.( If antenna position can't reduce it)
5) I'm tired and forgotten but there was another
6) Sell them a STB that works
When assisting customers with potential warranty claims ,write down all the digital readings for each channel E.G
Channel 36 DCP= 56 dBuV , CHber= 2.4e04 , PvBER= <e08, MER =25
repeat for all channels
Write down all analog TV channel readings This will rule out any onsite overload issues
Write down highest levels of FM radio channels. Ditto
Write down any things such as reducing levels below /increasing levels above to help or that several other STBs tried worked OK
It also helps to note AS standards levels to show that what you have is in the bounds of expected performance .
If nothing else it may help to convince the service tech that an antenna tech has been to customers place and confirmed that the TV is not working on a signal that is concidered OK and convince them to look a little further.
Hope this helps

His mate at hardly normal wouldn't know what a tuner looked like if it bit him on the nose. If you do a google.au search for TEAC and crap you get 15100 results need we say any more!

Yeah, it could be noise figure of the tuners playing a part as well. A while ago I struck a bunch of small screen TV's that required >50dB's to give a stable picture.
I think a lot of tuners are made in China
And even in Lithuania
Posted 18 August 2011 - 11:24 PM
post viterbi BER 1x10^6 is considered Quasi error free. Sure not ideal, but if a tuner is severely pixelating at 58db with Pv 1x10^6 then I'd be suspecting a faulty tuner.
I said pBER of E-6 was typical, not quite true- more of an average across the range. One channel would show preBER E-5, pBER E-8, NM +20 then for would drop to pre of E-2 and post E-4, NM -3db, didn't have enough time to get it more consistent. Point is the crappy tuner couldn't handle it- even channels with solid readings were pixellating, as you say the tuner could be faulty.

How do you find all this stuff?
I fix, (or at least attempt to), things that are broken
If repair is not required, then I dismantle, to see what useful bits might be inside.

Felt sorry for those guys when mobs like WES started selling us generic tuners at cheaper than changeover/repair prices.
Haa .Now days just throw the whole TV in the bin and visit HN for a new one .
Has anyone ever replaced a digital tuner in a STB or TV and covered costs ?

Hey guys
I have a request from a user asking if there is a way to attach a email to a task. I have done some digging around along with testing and I was unable to come up with a resolution, maybe you guys could help.
"Are you aware of anyway to drag and drop an email to a task?
As we are working projects, certain updates or information lands in email that is important to retain for the project. If you are using a task to manage the project it would be great to be able to drag and drop the email to the task and have it bring any attachment with it. This was possible with Outlook Tasks.
Zimbra will allow you to create a task from the email by right clicking and selecting create task. What we need is an "Add to Task option. Currently you have to cut the text from an email, then open the task and paste the text. Then save any attachments to your desk top, then go back to the task and load them up individually. When the attachments are loaded they are placed at the top of the task, instead of along side the text that was entered for the day. Kind of makes it hard to find the right attachment later when there is a stack at the top of the task."

Julia's fascination with life drawing started as an 'A' level student under the tuition of John Eaves. She is concerned with intuitive mark-making from observation and the exploration of the visual elements of line, tone and colour. She uses Indian ink applied with sticks and large brushes for washes. This unpredictable technique keeps the drawings loose and free, capturing the effects of light, shade and form.
Julia studied fine art at Dartington Hall in Devon and gained a PGCE from Exeter University. She is an experienced art teacher with over twenty years' experience in Art education and lives with her family in a small village near Cirencester. In 2004 she started selling her life drawings through galleries in the South West of England and, for the past five years, has been developing her skills as a practising artist and leading a creative life away from the class room.
Combining a love of art and travel, for a few weeks each year Julia teaches water colour painting on a small cruise ship, visiting exciting places such as Monet's garden in France, The Borobudur Temple in central Java, and this year the Mayan sites of South America. Every summer she also spends time painting in Tuscany at the Verrocchio Art Centre. Since 2007 Julia's drawings have been sold by the 'Cube' gallery at art fairs from London to Edinburgh and this year her drawings have been shown in their London gallery.
More of her work can be seen on her web site at www.julia-adams.co.uk

Born Richard Jay Belzer on Aug. 4, 1944 in Bridgeport, CT, Belzer's early life seemed to set the tone for his adult persona. He lost both parents before he turned 25 (mother Francis succumbed to cancer when he was 18; father Charles, a candy and tobacco retailer, committed suicide when Belzer was 22), so not surprisingly, the youngster began acting out. His natural rebellious streak earned him suspensions throughout the Connecticut school circuit, but he eventually earned his diploma and worked briefly as a reporter for The Bridgeport Post, a paper he delivered to homes as a boy.

Commenter Lo pointed out in "Do You Wear More Neutrals or Colors?" that she hates " that weird nude shade that makes everyone look naked but bizarrely wrinkly." I know exactly what that shade is! I call it "Carrie Bradshaw!" I think its proper name might be "taupe." Or does taupe have more brown undertones? For the sake of simplicity, let's just call it "nude" - even though yes, we all know many people's nude skin does not look like that. So. Nudes. How can you wear them and not look all naked and wrinkly?

Universal Realization of the Right of Peoples to Self-Determination, G.A. res. 50/139, U.N. Doc. A/RES/50/139 (1995)
The General Assembly, Reaffirming the importance, for the effective guarantee and observance of human rights, of the universal realization of the right of peoples to self- determination enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and embodied in the International Covenants on Human Rights, as well as in the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples contained in its resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960, Welcoming the progressive exercise of the right to self-determination by peoples under colonial, foreign or alien occupation and their emergence into sovereign statehood and independence, Deeply concerned at the continuation of acts or threats of foreign military intervention and occupation that are threatening to suppress, or have already suppressed, the right to self-determination of an increasing number of sovereign peoples and nations, Expressing grave concern that, as a consequence of the persistence of such actions, millions of people have been and are being uprooted from their homes as refugees and displaced persons, and emphasizing the urgent need for concerted international action to alleviate their condition, Recalling the relevant resolutions regarding the violation of the right of peoples to self-determination and other human rights as a result of foreign military intervention, aggression and occupation, adopted by the Commission on Human Rights at its thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth, fortieth, forty-first, forty-second, forty-third, forty-fourth, forty-fifth, forty-sixth, forty-seventh, forty-eighth, forty-ninth, fiftieth and fifty-first sessions, Reaffirming its resolutions 35/35 B of 14 November 1980, 36/10 of 28 October 1981, 37/42 of 3 December 1982, 38/16 of 22 November 1983, 39/18 of 23 November 1984, 40/24 of 29 November 1985, 41/100 of 4 December 1986, 42/94 of 7 December 1987, 43/105 of 8 December 1988, 44/80 of 8 December 1989, 45/131 of 14 December 1990, 46/88 of 16 December 1991, 47/83 of 16 December 1992, 48/93 of 20 December 1993 and 49/148 of 23 December 1994, Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General on the right of peoples to self-determination, 1. Reaffirms that the universal realization of the right of all peoples, including those under colonial, foreign and alien domination, to self- determination is a fundamental condition for the effective guarantee and observance of human rights and for the preservation and promotion of such rights; 2. Declares its firm opposition to acts of foreign military intervention, aggression and occupation, since these have resulted in the suppression of the right of peoples to self-determination and other human rights in certain parts of the world; 3. Calls upon those States responsible to cease immediately their military intervention in and occupation of foreign countries and territories and all acts of repression, discrimination, exploitation and maltreatment, particularly the brutal and inhuman methods reportedly employed for the execution of those acts against the peoples concerned; 4. Deplores the plight of the millions of refugees and displaced persons who have been uprooted as a result of the aforementioned acts, and reaffirms their right to return to their homes voluntarily in safety and honour; 5. Requests the Commission on Human Rights to continue to give special attention to the violation of human rights, especially the right to self- determination, resulting from foreign military intervention, aggression or occupation; 6. Requests the Secretary-General to report on this question to the General Assembly at its fifty-first session under the item entitled "Right of peoples to self-determination".

Parwin's Group
With limited career options because of cultural restrictions and domestic constraints, Parwin is one of many Iraqi woman who work from home, using her sewing skills to generate some income and help meet the financial needs of her family.
Parwin has six years' experience with the little home based sewing activity. She is constantly working on improving the small business. In the past she took a loan from Relief International - Microfinance Iraq to buy a new sewing machine, an iron, and some small furniture items. Having successfully repaid the loan, she now took a new loan to renew her work area and make her work conditions much better.
Relief International - Microfinance Iraq offers "Group loans" for clients unable to provide a guarantor - thereby unable to apply for a loan as an individual. As a group, the members collectively guarantee the loan. Groups consist of three to five clients, and each client is evaluated on his or her repayment capacity. All group members receive the same loan amount as the individual with the lowest repayment capacity in the group.
Based on the political and social challenges of lending in Iraq, personally identifiable information about this borrower has been altered for their protection. RI-Iraq appreciates Kiva lenders' consideration of these challenges and encourages lenders to continue their support for Iraqi borrowers.
Additional Information
About Relief International IraqRelief International (RI) is a non-profit non-sectarian organization with a multifaceted approach to working in post-conflict, vulnerable and transitional countries. As part of its core mission to bridge emergency relief with long-term development though sustainable, enterprise-oriented solutions, RI directs a broad microfinance portfolio in the Middle East and South Asia. In Iraq, RI microfinance has been providing access to capital for micro, small and medium enterprises since 2006. When lending through RI, there are several points to consider:
1. RI-Iraq offers loans that are customized for borrowers in Iraq, a predominantly Muslim country. A key principle of Islam is the prohibition of charging interest on a loan. This prohibition is based on the belief that money is only a medium of exchange and has no value in itself. In order to offer loans in a manner consistent with borrowers' values, RI-Iraq charges 0% interest on this loan. However, RI-Iraq does charge a servicing fee to cover its costs. The loan amount you see listed on Kiva includes both the principal loan and the loan servicing fees. As with all Kiva loans, you should expect to have your funds returned to you according to this loan's repayment schedule. For more information on lending in the Muslim world, please click here.
2. Because of on-going security concerns, due diligence on RI-Iraq was conducted remotely, rather than in-person as is typical with most Kiva Field Partners. RI-Iraq does, however, meet all of the other minimum criteria required by Kiva's full due diligence.
3. One of the challenges of lending to entrepreneurs in Iraq is the increased chance of difficulty transferring funds between the United States, where Kiva is based, and Iraq. While Kiva has been able to send and receive funds to and from Iraq in the past, there is a chance that we may encounter problems doing so in the future. This could result in difficulty repaying loan funds to lenders, even if individual borrowers have paid back their loans. As a lender to borrowers in Iraq, you would be taking on this additional risk.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Tiara 3900 SovranBy Capt. Bill Pike
Tiara Yachts is gutsy when it comes to technology. The successful, family-owned company was the first in the United States to seriously venture into pod-type propulsion systems some years back, partnering with Volvo Penta to launch the first American-built powerboat with Volvo's revolutionary Inboard Performance System (IPS). And now Tiara's upping the ante yet again with the intro of a sleek, solidly-engineered, IPS-powered production vessel, the 3900 Sovran, with the same joystick control Volvo Penta demoed for dealers and members of the marine press at the Miami International Boat Show last year.
The Sovran's an open-water greyhound. I know because I had the exclusive opportunity to wring 'er out amid the islands of Lake Erie's west end, thanks to the folks at Lakeside Marine Group in Port Clinton, Ohio. Conditions were uproarious. Winds whooped at velocities approaching 20 knots, and brown foamy seas crested at six feet or thereabouts, with short, steep troughs in between. But the Sovran took it all in stride, turning in an average top speed of 38.7 mph in a comparatively flat patch of water we found behind Kelley's Island, accelerating like a rocket-propelled rabbit and producing a dry, true-tracking ride no matter which way I pushed her in the rough stuff, whether up sea, down sea, or side sea.
You couldn't beat the handling. Cornering was tight and solid, the IPS electric steering had a smooth, automotive feel, and the boat's lithe power and responsiveness instilled confidence, even while I barreled the Sovran straight into jagged six-footers off Catawba Island at 20 mph. Visibility from the electrically adjustable helm seat was superb, as the Sovran's windshield and side windows are immense.
Of course, all this grooviness was great, but it immediately took a backseat to the Sovran's dockside-maneuvering capabilities back at Lakeside's marina. I started the party by stopping the boat outside the breakwater, then hitting a push-button switch at the base of the joystick pedestal, thus boosting the maximum maneuvering revs of the Sovran's IPS units from 1200 to 1500 rpm—I figured I might need a bit more oomph considering the way the flags ashore were standing straight off their staffs.
Control was totally intuitive. I pushed the stick forward, the boat went forward. I pushed it astern, she went astern. I pushed it sideways, the boat went sideways. I rotated the knob at the top of the stick, the 3900 spun in the same direction. And as I continued to play around, adding subtle combinations and permutations to my growing joystick repertoire, the wind seemed to hold little sway over the power of the two IPS units vectoring beneath the hull.
Once I'd gained some joystick familiarity, I took the Sovran through the narrow opening in the breakwater, sidling sideways at one point to counteract a powerful set toward some rocks, arrived at our slip, pivoted the boat in her own length by rotating the joystick knob, and then slid her home, broadside to the zephyrs. Easy? The entire maneuver was so effortless and fun that an idea dawned on me: Why not give a local youngster a shot? I could do my dockside walk-through while we waited for school to let out!
"My son's eight years old," suggested Lakeside employee Brian McCune, catching fire with the concept. "Lemme make a phone call."
While awaiting Donnie McCune's arrival, I discovered a raft of nifty features onboard the Sovran, the niftiest of the lot being a midcabin area Tiara calls "The Theatre." Not only is the place lofty (with 4'5" sitting/stooping headroom), open to the bright, spacious saloon, and easy to enter, it's arranged in an exceptionally useable way, with two comfy, longitudinally configured sofas on either side (upholstered with French-stitched Ultraleather), a Majestic LCD TV solidly mounted in the aft bulkhead, and a Denon Surround Sound system nearby to add auditory pizzazz to your viewing pleasure. The existence of the theatre is attributable to the space savings compact IPS units engender.
Craftsmanship was another biggie. While the Sovran offers a conventional express-style interior layout with an island berth forward, head (with shower stall) and midcabin area aft, and saloon (with galley) in between, installation and finish is special. Drawers, for example, are crafted of solid, half-inch-thick oak with expertly dovetailed corners. The saloon sole is paved with real teak planks and holly strips—not imitation. And the aviation-style doors on the overhead cabinets in the saloon are fitted with high-end Blum articulated hinges, SpringLift gas shocks, and Lamp latches.
The engine room was the kicker. I entered after pushing a dashboard rocker that lifted an immense electro-hydraulically actuated cockpit hatch. It was cavernous, uncluttered (with 360-degree engine/drivetrain access), and easy to understand mechanically, thanks to the dearth of through-hulls and other complexities IPS facilitates. I admired the white-painted bilges of the resin-infused hull, the schematically laid-out wire and plumbing runs, and the array of Schedule 31 batteries neatly housed in high-end retainers to port.
Donnie appeared at three o'clock. And the way he subsequently took command of the 3900 Sovran's joystick after a little practice thoroughly validates my take on the vessel.
The Sovran 3900 is fast, seaworthy, and finely-finished, but her true forte's dockside maneuvering. Thanks to Volvo Penta's IPS joystick technology, it's child's play. Literally.

text: Wild Turkey: A free one-day clinic will be offered in Manteca for any person wanting to learn many of the nuances to hunting this wild, wily bird. The clinic will be held from 1-5 p.m. Sat., Feb. 13 at the Bass Pro Shop store in Manteca. The clinic will cover a lot of information to help you be successful in the field, including hunting regulations, responsibilities, ethics and safety, proper firearms and ammo, proper clothing and habitats, huntable lands, along with care of the game after you've got the bird down to even cooking that bird. Online registration is available at www.dfg.ca.gov/huntered/advanced. Registered participants will be provided with a workshop agenda, a map to the facility, and a list of items to bring. Bear: The bear-hunting clinic will be a full day affair in Diamond Springs, just out of Placerville, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be held at the Diamond Springs Memorial Hall. Bear hunting is becoming more popular in the state and there are some major changes possibly coming. Be sure to watch this column next week for that information. For hunters wanting to pursue and bag one of California's black bears, this clinic will include information about bear biology, habits and habitat, styles of hunting bear, gear and garb, dog breeds that are used to hunt bear, pre-season scouting, bear signs, shooter positions and even how to field dress a bear. You'll need to scramble as you must registered in advance at www.dfg.ca.gov/huntered/advanced/bear.aspx. By registering, you'll receive an email with a map to the facility, a list of items to bring and a workshop agenda. CURRENT FISHING Lake Pardee: Despite weather better for duck hunting than for sitting on the bank of a lake, the annual opener was well attended. Thousands of pounds of trout were planted prior to the opener and additional plants were made during the opening weekend. There are places all around the Rec Area Cove where good rod bending action is found. Some can be just a few steps from your vehicle while others may require a little hike. Just dunk Power Bait, eggs or a crawler off a sliding sinker and you should get bit. Cast-retrieve a lure with your second rod with most shiny little lures will create interest. Keep changing lures, however, until you do get bit. Lake Amador: The trout action continues to be good. They've got their own hatchery, raising what's known as the Donaldson Trout, a cross between a cutthroat and a rainbow, simply known as a cutt-bow. They put in thousands of pounds of trout weekly, some big catchables and some very big lunkers. Limits might be hard to come by but you could put three on the stringer by soaking Power Bait, Power Eggs, or a crawler. Power Worms have also been working great. Bassing is tough with the colder weather. Lake Camanche: More than 12,000 pounds of trout were planted in January alone. Not all of those trout were caught and the plantings continue for February. Weather has kept many anglers off the water, but those who have showed up have been rewarded with both trout and bass. Trollers are finding good concentrations of trout at the lower end of the lake, around Hat Island, the dam region and the big coves on either side of the dam. Or, go up the lake into the Narrows. I've also done well in the North Shore region just outside the buoy line from the ramp. The pond on the south side is also well attended and shows great catching success. Trout can be finicky. The lure that was red-hot yesterday may not get bit at all today. Keep changing until you regularly get bit. A threaded night crawler is also always good. There are spots, largemouth and smallmouth in this lake, and right now you can nail spots in the four-pound class. Jigs, worked really slow, in brown or purple, should get you bit and drop-shotting Robo worms have worked well. The bass are ranging in depths from 10 to nearly 60 feet down. American River: You're going to be mostly bored, doing a lot of casting, drifting, reeling in and doing it over and over before you get bit. The action is really slow. But, there are steelhead in the river. You've just got to have exactly what they want at that minute and to literally bounce it off their nose. Bait is going to be the top getter with salmon roe being No. 1 and a crawler No. 2. Any of the deeper pools from Goethe Park all the way up river to the dam should and can produce a steelhead. Sacramento River: A couple of months ago, anglers were chasing salmon in the short, allowable season in the Knights Landing region. That season closed Dec. 31, and with the recent rains and river rising, it's sturgeon. And a few are biting on pile worms and a slab of anchovy. Bodega Bay: The huge, Humboldt squid in massive schools remain in the area and they're hauling them in hand over fist. It's totally a wide-open bite. They'll take some cleaning, but if it's calamari steaks you want, now is the time to get on the water. Average squid is 30-35 pounds and there's the occasional lunker over 60. Collins Lake: They haven't started their private plants yet, but DFG put a bunch of trout in the lake. Lake is rising rapidly and will definitely be full by the time all the snows melt. Trolling and bank slinging are both showing their share of successes with some trout near the three-pound mark. Try the upper end of the lake for some of the lake's big catfish. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, contact George directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta's, new consolidated university will bear the name of the city after all.
Georgia Health Sciences University President Ricardo Azziz and two members of a local campaign to retain the city in the new school's name announced Thursday that "Georgia Regents University Augusta" will be the brand name used in all official logo and marketing efforts.
The University System of Georgia Board of Regents voted last summer to consolidate Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University beginning next year.
An uproar ensued in the community when the board chose "Georgia Regents University" as the new school's name, omitting mention of Augusta.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement that enables us to prominently incorporate 'Augusta' in the official logo and branding of our new university," said Azziz, who will head the consolidated university. "The agreement allows us to highlight the importance of the city in our academic, clinical, research and athletic programs, while ensuring the people of Georgia recognize our statewide role."
The new university will enroll nearly 10,000 students on a campus of more than 650 acres.

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Eleven year-old Nick Sewing is a budding videographer who loves making his own videos. He helps produce a morning newscast at his school.
"We have birthdays," he said. "We say good morning. It's just like the news just shorten to five minutes."
He went to Swim Atlanta's Cumming location with his sister Sarah to check out a new HD video camera by Kodak that is supposed to be waterproof. The PlaySport video camera claims it's tough enough to go anywhere you go.
So Nick recorded Sarah's swim strokes above and below the water.
"You usually don't do this ," Nick said as he dunked the PlaySport into the pool, "stick a camera in the water."
Kodak says the camera can be submerged down to 10 feet underwater.
So Nick took a plunge into the the deep end of the pool to see for himself.
Kodak warns that the camera doesn't float and recommends you use the wrist strap at all times in the water.
Nick took the camera down to eight feet with no problems.
"It actually works," he said.
The PlaySport is autofocus and features electronic image stabilization to reduce shaking. There's an H2O mode to improve the color when shooting underwater. The camera also takes still pictures at five megapixel resolution.
Back at home, Nick uses the supplied HDMI cable to hook the camera up to his Dad's HDTV.
"It's a pretty good picture," he said.
The camera can record HD video up to 1080p onto an SD memory card - which is not included in the kit.
You can also transfer the video to your computer with the USB cable, so you can edit them or upload them to Youtube for Facebook.
"In like two minutes it finished all nine," Nick said.
Nick thought the PlaySport would be perfect for shooting in all sorts of extreme situations like on the beach, in the snow or rain.
"I like it. It's really good," he said. "It's worth having."
The ZX3 model we tried retails for about $150 but we've seen it sell for less.
"My rating for the Kodak PlaySport," Nick said, "is two thumbs up."

A Pamlico County man has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison for his involvement in an international drug ring involving the Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations.
Kevin Cornelious Davis, 44, of Bayboro, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Louise W. Flanagan, based on his status as a career offender.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Davis was arrested on July 4, 2011, after more than 12 kilograms of cocaine being transported from Arizona were seized in Pamlico County.
According to U.S. Attorney Thomas G. Walker, Davis was one of the intended recipients of the cocaine. The investigation revealed that from 2006 until his arrest, Davis was responsible for distributing about 83 kilograms of cocaine.
Davis� sentence is for 131 months, followed by five years supervised probation and a $5,000 fine.
He was arrested during the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Operation �No Quarter,� which was designed to attack the infrastructure of the Mexican drug organization.
According to a Justice Department release, the Mexican groups include those in the Los Zetas, La Familia, Gulf and Sinaloa drug cartels. They operate not only in the Eastern District of North Carolina, but throughout the state, the U.S. and Mexico. They are cited for responsibility in the importation of large quantities of cocaine, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine into the U.S.
The investigation which snared Davis spanned 10 years and five North Carolina counties, resulting in more than 100 arrests.

Mobile World Congress 2011: we're here
Mobile World Congress 2011 kicks-off tonight with announcements coming from Samsung and Sony Ericsson as they launch their new devices. We're on the ground in a sunny Barcelona to bring you all the action as it unpacks.
If you've been following the news here on Pocket-lint, you'd probably think that MWC is nearly finished, thanks to all the leaks and early announcements - we've published 70 stories on MWC 2011 already.
We know that the Samsung Unpacked event is launching the Galaxy S 2 and the Galaxy Tab 2. The Samsung Wave launched on its Bada platform this time last year - are we going to be seeing a new flagship Wave device tonight as well?
Sony Ericsson has impressed us with the Xperia Arc, launched at CES in Las Vegas, and it's publicly teased the PlayStation phone, the Xperia Play. What else will compliment its fight-back in 2011? Will it surprise us with a hitherto unmentioned device?
Then we've got LG, flashing its Optimus Pad and Optimus 3D, LG literally can't wait to share the Optimus love in Barcelona. Will 3D really work on a mobile device?
HTC has seen meteoric growth over the past 2 years. Does it have the momentum to keep it up? We've seen the leaks, but we have to wait 'till Tuesday to get all the details. Will its Facebook phone emerge? Can it compete with the new INQ Cloud Touch also being shown off in Barcelona?
ZTE and Huawei are here, what will they have in store, will we see breakthrough devices from them this year? Motorola hit CES 2011 in a big way, will we see anything new from it? Perhaps playtime with a fully operational Honeycomb Motorola Xoom will be exciting enough.
What impact will the Nokia and Microsoft venture have? With so much focus on Android, will Windows Phone 7 even get a look-in? Microsoft has plastered posters over its usual conference spot - what is there left to say?
Will BlackBerry confirm its leaked roadmap? Will it pin down the details on its PlayBook? Posters around the conference venue suggest so.
And all that's before we get to operator announcements, new technologies, new services and accessories.
There are questions to answer, rumours to confirm and myths to dispel; we will show you the hardware you'll be lusting after for the next year, and bringing you our first impressions on all these exciting developments, once we've had the chance to play with everything.
You can follow all the developments in our dedicated Mobile World Congress 2011 channel at http://www.pocket-lint.com/mwc2011, and follow us on Twitter @pocketlint to stay in the picture as all is revealed.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Dominion Power has submitted a high bid of $1.6 million for nearly 113,000 acres off the state's coast for the development of wind power.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said Dominion was one of two bidders. Eight energy companies were qualified to bid.
While it is expected to take years to site towering turbines 20-plus miles off Virginia Beach, the area has the potential to generate enough power for more than 700,000 homes.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Nearly 113,000 acres off Virginia's coast went up for auction Wednesday, with eight energy companies eligible to bid on the right to develop wind farms that could power more than 700,000 homes.
Bidding began at 10:30 a.m. at a minimum of $2 an acre and ended about three hours later with top bid of $1.142 million. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which is conducted the bidding, was to announce the winning bidder Wednesday afternoon.
The state's largest utility, Dominion Virginia Power, is among the energy companies that qualified to bid.
Following the auction, which will involve the entire 112,800-acre leasing area, the winning bidder will have about five years to submit proposed design and construction plans.
The development area 23.5 miles off Virginia Beach was carved out of the Atlantic after extended negotiations involving the Navy, Coast Guard, commercial fishing interests, port officials, and NASA, which operates a launch center on the Eastern Shore. This section of the coast is one of the busiest on the Eastern seaboard. It includes the world's largest naval base in Norfolk.
The Virginia auction is the second time the federal government has sold competitive leases for wind energy on the outer continental shelf. In July, Deepwater Wind was the provisional winner with a bid of $3.8 million for an area more than 10 miles off Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Clean energy advocates said the Virginia lease auction is a milestone in the development of an offshore wind industry. The U.S. does not have an offshore wind farm, although several are in development.
"With this investment in clean energy would come thousands of jobs in the manufacture of components for these massive turbines and in the marine construction business," said Glen Besa, director of the Sierra Club of Virginia.
Studies have estimated that the development of an offshore wind industry would create in the range of 10,000 jobs in Virginia.
Advocates of offshore wind power have said Virginia's port facilities and underused shipbuilding industry are key assets to develop a supply chain for the wind industry.
First, however, the U.S. must attract the manufacturers that are now primarily based in Europe, which has a huge advantage over the U.S. in terms of wind energy.
Oceana, an ocean advocacy group, said the biggest barrier to developing offshore wind energy is investment dollars. It called on Congress to provide a long-term extension of an investment tax credit for offshore wind.
"To get offshore wind turbines built, we must stimulate investment," said Jacqueline Savitz, Oceana's vice president for U.S. oceans.
Besides Dominion, the other companies qualified to bid on the Virginia leasing area are: Energy Management Inc., developer of the Cape Wind project in federal waters off Massachusetts' Cape Cod; Apex Virginia Offshore Wind; EDF Renewable Development Inc.; Fisherman's Energy; Iberdola Renewables Inc.; Sea Breeze Energy and Orisol Energy U.S. Inc.

When celebrities develop blemishes, notice a new wrinkle or begin to see signs of sun damage on their skin, they often turn to one man, Dr. Frederic Brandt, for help. His dermatology practices in Miami and New York City are frequented by many famous entertainers whose personal appearances are constantly under intense scrutiny from the public. For more than 20 years, Dr. Brandt has helped his patients obtain flawless complexions through innovative clinical treatments that are performed at his practice. Now, the top dermatologist has made some of his most revolutionary formulas available for you to use at home with the dr. brandt House Calls collection.
The dr. brandt House Calls products are a lineup of treatments geared toward addressing specific, common skin care problems. There are solutions in the collection to improve skin elasticity, eliminate expression lines and much, much more. Being in demand for public speaking appearances and helping celebrities perfect their complexions doesn't leave Dr. Brandt time for house calls, but you can benefit from his expert knowledge at home with the dr. brandt House Calls collection.
Effective skin treatments don't necessarily call for a trip to the dermatologist. Dr. Brandt House Calls was developed in order to deliver highly effective and intense treatments that can be performed at home. Dr. Brandt House Calls relies on proven technology and high quality ingredients to dramatically improve the look of the skin. Dr. Brandt House Calls can complement any skin care regimen for outstanding results.
Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliating treatment that has been a customer favorite for years. The product uses the same magnesium oxide crystals that are used in professional microdermabrasion treatments. The crystals polish the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells which can build up to clog pores and cause dullness. Regular exfoliation can reduce breakouts as well as the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores. It can also be used on areas of the body and is particularly effective on keratosis pilaris.
Dr. Brandt Crease Release with GABA is a good alternative to injectables. The treatment works by relaxing the muscles responsible for facial expressions. As the muscles relax, expression lines are reduced and softened. The effects last for about 8 to 10 hours. This makes for a great quick fix for a special event. It can be used with other skin care products and works well under cosmetics.
Dr. Brandt Collagen Booster is a concentrated treatment serum that helps stimulate collagen to firm and refine the skin. Continual use encourages the skin to increase collagen production in order to lessen the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles.
