Toyota Expects its Worldwide Sales to Grow 2% in 2013
TOKYO—Toyota Motor Corp. projected that its global sales would rise 2% to a record next year, suggesting that the company has fully recovered from a plunge in business following last year's earthquake in Japan and despite facing consumer antipathy in China.
The Japanese car maker also estimated Wednesday that it would sell a record 9.7 million vehicles this year, likely bringing it back to the top spot in global sales, passing General Motors Co. and Volkswagen AG. Toyota's sales would be a 22% jump from last year, when the earthquake in Japan and floods in Thailand disrupted the parts supply chain and dented the auto maker's sales.
U.S.-based GM, which took the No. 1 spot from Toyota last year, sold 6.95 million vehicles world-wide in the first nine months of 2012. Germany's Volkswagen, the second-largest auto maker last year, sold 8.29 million vehicles in the first 11 months of the year.
Toyota projected that its world-wide sales would reach 9.91 million vehicles next year.
"It appears to be a conservative plan," said Masahiro Fukuda, the head of Japan research at Fourin, an automotive-research firm. "It would be possible to reach 10 million vehicles" driven by sales in the U.S., Southeast Asia, Brazil and India, he said.
Together with the yen weakening to a 20-month low against the dollar, volume growth could be a strong driver for Toyota's recovering profit.
But China, the world's biggest auto market, remains a big headache for Toyota and other Japanese car makers. The outlook for talks over a territorial dispute between Asia's two biggest economies has been disrupted by changes in leadership in both countries.

HAYWARD -- The host Lancers (3-2) broke open a 7-6 game with 31 straight points in the second and third quarters against the Titans (3-2).
"We played four quarters and our line is opening up huge holes and our skill players are doing something with it," said Tennyson coach Terry Smith about his team's offense.
The Lancers scored on their first possession when quarterback Christian Silva connected with Kody Cochran for a 23-yard touchdown pass. The Titans cut Tennyson's lead to 7-6 early in the second quarter on a 5-yard run by Derek Slater.
But after successfully handling a squib kick, Tennyson took only two plays to answer back with a 47-yard touchdown pass from Silva to Xavier Thibodeaux. A 30-yard field goal by Kendrick Roldon and a 3-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Rogers gave Tennyson a 24-6 halftime lead.
The Lancers scored on their first two possessions of the second half on a 34-yard run by Rogers and an 18-yard run by Silva, as Tennyson held a 38-6 with 7 minutes, 23 seconds left in the third quarter.
Kennedy drew as close as 38-20 with 2:32 left in the third quarter, but Tennyson answered again with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Silva to Thibodeaux to push its lead over 20 points.
Rogers rushed for a game-high 133 yards, and teammate Joshua Handy added 88 yards. Kennedy's Waymond McKissick was a three-way threat -- he rushed for a team-high 64 yards and a touchdown, caught four passes for 64 yards and a TD, and threw for 87 yards.

KINGS BEACH, Calif. — For some of us, it happens while carving powder turns down a steep bowl. Others experience it spontaneously while mountain biking through the forest or while paddleboarding effortlessly on a perfectly still lake.
"Flow" is that sought after, fleeting experience of total immersion in a skillful activity. Similar to being "in the zone," flow experiences are at the same time meditative and dynamic, commanding all of the participant's focus and attention.
When we are immersed in the flow, both mind and body become so actively focused on the present moment that time appears to slow down. Incessant thoughts of past and future melt away, leaving the flow participant in a peaceful, harmonious state. The flow arts offer a range of movement meditation practices, including the skillful art of object manipulation, that will help get you "into the flow," bringing balance to your mind and body.
The Lake Tahoe Flow Arts Festival, coming to Kings Beach Sept. 4-6, features three nights and two days of workshops and performances in a wide variety of flow arts. Workshops cater to both beginners and experts and include the art of hooping, poi, staff, fans, juggling, aerial silks, dance, yoga, and many more. Many of the flow arts involve spinning objects around the body in a graceful and coordinated fashion. As an added bonus, many flow toys can also be dipped into fuel and then lit on fire, bringing an element of danger and excitement to the performance art. Fire art performances are visually impressive. Just as impressive is the roaring sound of fire balls slicing rhythmically through the air. If you have yet to witness this unique art form firsthand, now is your chance.
Due to the fact the festival takes place immediately after Burning Man, Tahoe is fortunate to be hosting some of the world's top flow artists. Last year, the festival boasted teachers and participants from 15 different countries. "The flow arts and the fire arts are really emerging on the international scene at the moment," said Christy Smith, founder and organizer of the festival. "I feel so blessed to present such a high caliber of artists from all over the world." The festival will also feature music, DJ's, and high-energy fire performances complete with costumes and theatrics, helping to bring the spirit of Burning Man into our own backyards.
Workshops will take place at the North Tahoe Beach in Kings Beach. An opening sunset spin jam takes place Sept. 4 and a community benefit fire show will take place at the North Tahoe Event Center on Sept. 6 at sunset. Aerial silk workshops and performances will be hosted by the Lake Tahoe Wellness Center, also located in Kings Beach. In addition, there will be an after-school program from 3-6 p.m. for junior spinners aged 13-18. Tickets for the festival are available online at www.flowartisrty.com. All event passes are $77, day pass $45, junior pass $20, for the Lake Tahoe Flow Arts Festival, Sept. 4-6, North Tahoe Event Center, Kings Beach.

Commissioners may put hold on new road names
Published: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 18, 2014 at 11:45 p.m.
What's in a name? When it comes to county roads, apparently a lot of dissatisfaction.
Beset by requests to change road names over the last three months, Henderson County commissioners will consider a 120-day moratorium on street renamings to give county staff time to work on an amended ordinance.
"The only reason it needs to be done is if there's duplication between two roads, to avoid confusing the E-911 folks," said Commissioner Larry Young. "But to just have people coming up there saying, 'I want to name it for my wife,' or 'I don't like this name,' that's not a reason."
However, the moratorium could kill a chance for one resident to right a wrong he says is the county's fault. James McClain says a county contractor inadvertently changed the name of a street adjacent to his Stoney Mountain property in 2002 and he's asked for time on Wednesday's agenda to fix the goof.
Since the moratorium vote comes before McClain's request, his request may be moot.
Commissioners became dissatisfied with the county's existing renaming policy after a Zirconia resident returned to the board for the second time in three months, asking the board to change the name of his road in the Cobblestone Village subdivision.
In April, William Virginia petitioned the board to change his street, Yorkshire Boulevard, to "Barbaras Mountain Place," in honor of his wife who died Jan. 15. After commissioners denied his request, Virginia returned on July 16 for a second shot, this time suggesting the name "Barbara Ann Lane."
Board members were none too pleased, pointing out that the majority of residents along the cul-de-sac were not in favor of the name change.
While sympathizing with Virginia's loss, Vice Chairman Tommy Thompson said he was "uncomfortable going through this again, in that I think it's a second bite at the apple. I don't know how many times this board can go over and over things of this nature."
Thompson and Young asked County Attorney Russ Burrell to return to the board with an amended policy for renaming roads, one that would not allow residents to ask for more than one renaming per year.
Burrell said Monday it will probably take about two months to draft the new Property Addressing Ordinance, but is asking for a 120-day moratorium to provide enough time for the board to iron out details and hold a required public hearing.
Not only would Young like to see a requirement that requests be at least a year apart, he wants to prohibit road renaming for memorials.
"Because every time you change a road name, it needs to be done for a business purpose, so these emergency services people can find these streets," he said.
While a road name may seem a trivial matter to some, Young said "it's a bigger deal than people think. It costs the people along these roads to change their checking accounts, their tax forms, their mailing labels."
McClain, a retired engineer, hopes commissioners will address his road renaming request before they enact any moratorium. He said he discovered his property was no longer considered on Baystone Drive after a fire engine showed up at his house last winter at 1 a.m.
"They were looking for 331 Baystone Drive," he said. "They just assumed that my next-door neighbor was 328 Baystone, so the firemen decided the next one should be 331. I said, 'There's no such address.'"
Yet there was. During a countywide clean-up of property addresses for 911 purposes, the county had hired a contractor who changed the name of a nearby street, Jennifer Lane, to Baystone Drive and removed that moniker from McClain's stretch of road.
When McClain discovered the change, he requested the county change his stretch of gravel to "Old Baystone Drive" to make it easier for emergency responders to find his property in the event he subdivides his land. He also got five adjoining neighbors to sign his petition.
"It was always Baystone Drive, ever since 1918 when the road was put in," argues McClain. "So what happened was when the property addressing people came by, they turned left and went onto Jennifer Lane, which they called Baystone. That left this 3,800-foot section without a name."
McClain said he has hundreds of documents, from deeds to surveys, that show his property abuts Baystone Drive. And he said he and his neighbors deserve to have a similar road name returned to their access.
The problem with McClain's request is that the gravel stretch in question is considered a right-of-way, not a road, said Curtis Griffin, the county's property addressing supervisor.
"That is the big bone of contention," Griffin said. "We really don't name right-of-ways. We want a physical road. When we sat down with him, we explained that we need a road. We don't want to be sitting here naming right-of-ways or driveways that aren't really roads. That hurts the fire departments, because they're required to know all the names."
Commissioners will take up the proposed moratorium at 9 a.m. Wednesday in their chambers on the second floor of the Historic Courthouse.

SAN JOSE -- They're chewing through the landscape and becoming bolder by the day. So frustrated management officials at The Villages insist it's time to take action and sterilize a deer population that has doubled in the past two years at the gated senior community in the east foothills.
The deer have grazed there for years, and it's not the first time the idea of curbing the population has been floated -- a plan to use archers to thin the herd in 2007 was derailed after a week of angry protests. But a Villages spokesman said the current plan to relocate 30 animals outside of the community's eight miles of fencing and sterilize the does in the 170-strong herd is a humane solution to the growing problem.
View The Villages in a larger map
"The deer are no longer intimidated by people here," said general manager Darren Shaw. "Sometimes during rutting season they can become aggressive. We are concerned that someone might get hurt."
Shaw said there have been incidents involving deer attacking dogs and deer being struck by cars. Their grazing destroys about $150,000 worth of landscaping each year, he said.
After holding a meeting for Villages residents on Thursday, wildlife management company White Buffalo will tranquilize the does and perform ovariectomies in a mobile medical lab starting this weekend and running nightly through Feb. 4.
The plan was hatched after an October community meeting where Anthony DeNicola of White Buffalo told residents of the various options available.
"Many people prefer nonlethal management techniques, but in most situations they are not practical and cannot meet management objectives in a cost-efficient or timely manner," wrote DeNicola in an email. "The Villages is unique in that they are a fenced community and it is relatively small."
While the Humane Society of the United States is researching birth control as a "nonlethal solution to conflicts between people and wildlife in urban and suburban areas," a study co-authored by DeNicola and Cornell University researchers found there is currently no federally registered drug commercially available for deer control.
Rebecca Dmytryk, president of the animal rescue group Wildlife Emergency Services, said the sterilization plan is likely the best course of action. But she added that "deer are probably one of the most difficult wild animals to deal with" because of their flighty nature and strength.
"They're dangerous to themselves and other people, and when they get scared they panic," she said. "They will fight or flee to save their lives even if it kills them."
She said that given the enclosed, isolated population at the Villages, sterilization is "probably a great way to go," and added that darting the deer is preferable to using drop nets, which have a greater chance of harming the animal.
At the October meeting, DeNicola said the situation at the Villages is the "second-most overrun" with deer out of hundreds of locations he has surveyed.
"It's remarkable," he said. "It requires quite a bit of time for deer to live generation after generation and learn that you are not a threat. The deer get to a point where you really are not much different than any other animal in the landscape that is not threatening to them."
The state Department of Fish and Wildlife approved the operation. DeNicola acknowledged there is a chance that some deer may die. But he said a similar program he recently completed near Ithaca, N.Y., saw five deaths out of 172 deer handled, a rate he called "unheard of." DeNicola added that two were already suffering from injuries that would have resulted in a painful death had they not been euthanized.
At The Villages, the 30 relocated animals will be placed just outside the community's fence, and DeNicola said that will minimize stress that comes from transporting the animals.
The relocation of a Fremont herd in the early 1990s ended with all the animals either starving to death or falling prey to mountain lions when they were moved to the Sunol Regional Wilderness.
James Nielsen, a resident of The Villages, was skeptical about the claim that the deer are causing that much damage. He said car strikes wouldn't happen if everybody stuck to the 25 mph speed limit, dogs are supposed to be leashed when they are in public, and the natural fauna was one of the things that drew him to the area in the first place.
"It's one of the things we like about The Villages," he said. "Looking at deer, sometimes you'll see a covey of quail or wild turkeys. It's a beautiful area to live in if you like wildlife."
He added that the deer were in the area long before the 1,200 acre development and its 4,000 residents.
"The deer were here first, it's their country," Nielsen said. "These people are trying to get rid of its natural inhabitants."

There is a separate entry for the beta release of Firefox 3 (Search for Firefox 3). This entry is only for stable releases of Firefox.
I used to stick with Firefox because of firebug, but the new Web inspector is just as good (not the black HUD thingy â" that's ugly as sin). So I stick with OmniWeb. That one even uses more recent versions of WebKit than the official Safari.
"first of all: safari 3.0 BETA has tabbed browsing, not 2.0"
Uh, Safari has supported tabs since the 0.9 Public Beta back in 2003.
You're probably thinking of draggable/rearrangeable tabs, which did first make their appearance with the 3.0 Public Beta.
A possibly useful tip: going to about:config and turning off 'keyword.enabled' will make the address bar behave more every other Mac browser's.
I can now type "apple/ipod" in the address bar and it'll take me to www.apple.com/ipod. That has been driving me crazy.
BonEcho is faster... ;-)
I don't care if it's a little slower, when it has so many awesome add-ons.
matu: Safari does have tabbed browsing...

Hello Everyone
Im new to this and I also need encouragement to fight through this. Im 43 yo Im 211pds. Ive never really and Im ready to finally get to where Im feeling good about what I see when I look at myself.
Ive been working out with Jullian Micheals for about 3 weeks and yeh!!!! Ive lost a few inches all over. Im getting ready to do a physical fitness test for a job overseas and running is part of it. That right now is the motivation but I want to get myself in shape once and for all.
I have been walking and doing some running but I feel Ive been doing it all wrong since my knees kill me afterward. I think it has something to do with the weight Im carrying currently and the double duty I put on them doing Jillian's workout plus run/walk. Anyone got any suggestions?????
Nevertheless, Im going to start the program tomorrow. Wish me luck!!!!!
Take a good look at your running shoes and your form. Knee pain is often attributed to these two things. Also, your body is going to take awhile to acclimate to running, so you could also be experiencing discomfort from that. Cruise around here in the "Med Tent" section and you'll see more specific advice about your condition, but the good news is it is quite common. Good luck!

Good for you Reina! It sounds like you are off to a wonderful start with some good plans. I agree with the advice to examine your shoes and possible inserts carefully. Remember to invest in several different pairs because your needs will change as you progress and shoes wear out more quickly than most think (400 miles adds up in a hurry) Anyway, they are so important! You may also want to consider elastic knee braces or therapeutic knee guards. That might be helpful as you continue to transition into longer walks, slow jogging and running more frequently. Compression socks might be a benefit to assist with circulation. I have utilized all these things and they really do make a difference when you find the right products for your individual needs.
Wishing you the very best and congratulations on all your efforts!
Congratulations on starting out. Your knees shouldn't be hurting---this is a bad sign that you are overdoing it. Whatever plan you are on, it's probably too much right now. I tell every newbie the same thing. Get a heart rate monitor and workout at or under 180-age (for you it would be 137 beats per minute). More than likely, you will be forced to walk, perhaps at a fast pace. Then as you get fit, you will get faster, and eventually will have to run to keep your heart rate up near 137. What you want to focus on is your aerobic system. This method will keep you aerobic, and if you stick to it, more than likely you'll be injury free. Remember that health and fitness are related, but are two different things. You can be fit enough to run a marathon, but if you're getting to the starting line broken down, with bad knees, injuries, sick---you are not healthy. Think long term---one day at a time. Working out at these low HR, fat-burning intensities is a much healthier way to go. Check out the below links and make informed decision. I wish you the best.

Thank you Jimmy for the advise. I appreciate all the advise everyone has given me. I thought the samething about slowing it down some till I get my weight under control or should I say......a little lighter on my feet LOL.
I will continue walking and working my way to a faster pace. This will also build the strenth in my legs.
Has anyone ever tried GREEN 8000? Ive been reading about this on the net and it seems to be a good product.
You're welcome, Reina. I used to weigh 230 pounds at 5'10". With just a few small dietary changes, and walking. I got down to the 170's. After a few years of walking, and getting faster and faster (I was walking 5+mph), I started to run. When I started I was ready for it. I had already built up my aerobic base. The weight was off. I was able to run a race 4 months later, and got hooked on racing. The advice I gave you was given to me, and it has really saved my body some harm over the years. Take care. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
Congrats and great job! You can do whatever you choose to do. Little steps make life changing results.
I dropped 40 pounds (over a year?) because I dramatically changed my diet and started exercising one hour a day (started walking for an hour, then added jogging, etc; now I run 95% of my routes). We're about the same age. It just takes time, effort, and patience with yourself to never give up on yourself. You didn't gain the weight all at once, so it won't come off all at once, but it's definitely doable. I aimed for losing 3 pounds a month, so it would be safe and permanent. Only weigh yourself the 5th day of your period for the most accurate results. Avoid added sugar like the plague. Good luck to you!
Hi Reina!
Congratulations on your new outlook!! You are doing a wonderful thing for yourself! I'm new to running also (very new), but have had some experience with weight loss. I would suggest you educate yourself about nutrition, which will go hand in hand with your new more active lifestyle. A balanced diet and increased activity is the best formula for weight loss and health improvement. Be sure that you are getting the recommended daily allowances of the important nutrients like Protein, Carbs, Fats, etc., and your body will be sufficiently fueled for the performance you expect! If you need any direction on how to start, I'd love to help!
Again, congratulations...please keep us all posted on your progress!!
It's good to get a physical too. At first I suffered from recurring shin splints. After a routine physical, I found out my Vitamin D was nearly depleted! The doc prescribed Vitamin D and my shin splints vanished. I still have to be careful to train smarly, and I do wear support shoes (Brooks Ariel), but I don't get shin splints the way I used to. I was really surprised about the Vit D since I was out in the sun a lot (ie, running!). Don't give up on yourself!

As a reminder, a parade honoring US military who have served are being deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan is planned in Hawley, Saturday, August 18. The public is invited to come and cheer them on. Veterans of these conflicts are also welcome to join in the parade.
Parade lineup is at 11 a.m. at the Queen of Peace Church parking lot on the top of Church Street at Wangum Avenue. The parade starts at 12 noon and heads down Church Street, ending at the Hawley American Legion Post 311, at Church Street and Penn Avenue.
Bagpipers will march, and County and Borough officials have been invited. Two "Gold Star" mothers will be honored, riding in a car- mothers of Sgt. Paul Sweeney of Lakeville, killed in Afghanistan in 2003, and Sgt. Jacob Beisel of Lackawaxen, killed in Iraq in 2006. University of Scranton ROTC cadre members are also participating.
PA National Guard soldiers from Company A 1st Battalion (mech), 109th Infantry in Honesdale, who are set to deploy to Afghanistan in the fall, have been invited to join the parade.
The parade is being coordinated by the Post 311 Auxiliary. President Mary Jane Graf states that a picnic will follow for the veterans and military and their families, at the Post, as well as anyone joining in. A section of Church Street between Penn and Main is to be closed down for this purpose.
Graf stated that these veterans and active duty mlitary are being honored to remind them they are not forgotten. She noted that unlike in past wars, the troops do not return in large groups and receive parades. Their call to duty is often missed by the media, she added. Graf expressed thanks to everyone who is helping with the parade and picnic, and invited the public to come out and thank those who served or do serve in uniform.
For more information, contact Post 311 Auxiliary by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's a place where families take walks, and kids ride bikes and roller blade.
And it's only as safe as the driver who happens to be behind the wheel.
But we were surprised to learn that deputies don't have every tool at their disposal to stop these dangerous drivers.
The state has certain restrictions when it comes to local officers using a radar gun, and neighborhoods are one of them.
At the speed some of the drivers we saw Thursday night were going, you'd think you were looking at a road less traveled.
It's actually a neighborhood...and a rather large one.
"It's always been bad," says Jessie Ozmelek. She says drivers race up and down her street at Autumn Trail Road every day--especially in the mornings and afternoons when everyone is leaving and coming home from work.
"It bothers me because children out here come out here on bikes and I don't want anything to happen," Jessie says.
The sign says 25, but after we used our own radar gun we quickly realized the average speed was more like 35-40 miles per hour. That doesn't bother Jessie that much; it's when drivers reach speeds of 55+ that has her concerned.
And we clocked one driver going even faster than that...
70 mph in a 25.
Not too long before that, another driver stopped to ask us what we were doing.
And once we told him, he skidded off in the opposite direction. Good thing there wasn't a kid behind him.
"There was an accident a couple months ago. A young girl was going so fast she didn't make the curve and her car flipped in the woods there," says concerned neighbor Dwight Joiner.
So when Jessie called the sheriff's office to complain, you can imagine her surprise when they told her that radar guns are not allowed on neighborhood roads.
"He said his hands are tied," Jessie tells News 12.
But that doesn't mean deputies won't give you a neighborhood speeding ticket.
"In neighborhoods, we use the Too Fast for Conditions law: people going too fast to control their vehicle," says Deputy Bobby Bradford of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
And if enough neighbors in a subdivision sign a petition in Columbia County, you may be able to get a speed bump near you.
When we spoke to Columbia County's traffic deputies they told us they are aware of these high-speed areas and are monitoring them.

Shared Governance
What's New
Updated on 11/16/2011
The Basics: The Shared Governance system is the governing body here at CCSF. It is comprised of three systems, all of which have permanent committees with them. For policies to change and for new policies to be adopted, all must go through the proper channels of shared governance.
Structure: Shared governance is a three tier system that includes the Academic Senate, the College Advisory Council, and the Planning and Budgeting Council. Issues passed through any one of these systems is then passed to the Chancellor of CCSF, and upon approval, is then presented to the Board of Trustees for final approval – this is the final step in shared governance, where policies can either be passed or denied.
Student Involvement: Each shared governance system has permanent committees within them. This means that before issues are brought to the Academic Senate, College Advisory Council, and Planning and Budgeting Council, they must have passed through a committee. The individuals that make up the councils and committees are CCSF administrators, classified, faculty, and students. The checks and balances of the shared governance system rely heavily on the input of members from all areas of CCSF's community. Students representatives are the voice of the student body and in many cases, are the only ones to stand up for their best interests.
Opportunity: Student representatives work closely with CCSF leaders and gain valuable experiences discussing and thinking critically about the issues presented to them.
The Shared Governance System provides a unique opportunity for students to have a real say in the policies that shape our community – from the inside out.
For more information on how to get involved, please visit the Associate Dean of Student Activities or the Student Governance Coordinator in the Student Union building.

Oklahoma City police operate under a simple philosophy to keep that city's entertainment district safe.
"Be there before it happens," says Lt. Kevin Barnes, with the OKC Bricktown police department.
Behind the scenes:
We got a rare look behind the scenes as the department prepared for a Saturday night.
"Make sure that anyone rolling into Bricktown sees that we're here," Barnes tells a group of officers as they get a final briefing before heading out on the streets.
Officers, many of them there on a special overtime budget, roll in around 9 p.m. By the time they get there, other officers are armed with information.
Oklahoma City leaders have made Bricktown safety a priority. Money and resources are made available year round.
Unlike Wichita, Bricktown has its own police station with six full time officers. Those officers and supervisors focus solely on Bricktown.
By the time Friday night rolls around, the Bricktown officers already know what to expect. They know which bars are having big events, what type of crowd will be there, and any issues that came up the night or weekend before.
How it works:
Early in the evening, before the crowds are large, Lt. Barnes is out gathering the most important weapon in his arsenal. He's on the hunt for information.
"Just checking in see if you guys need anything," says Barnes as he makes one of more than a dozen stops at area bars and clubs.
"What's up man? How's the crowd tonight?" Barnes asks another bar owner.
Barnes and other officers make it a goal to stop by every bar in the district. They get out of their patrol cars and walk the streets. They find an owner or manager, and then spend the time to gather information. By the time the bars close, and that's when most problems happen, Barnes and his team are in the right spot.
"Even the parking lot attendant can be a good source of information. They let you know who's coming in," says Barnes.
By 1 a.m., OKC police officers are spread out across the area. Patrol cars are parked in the middle of the road. Officers know where the big crowds are and they are already there.
A city ordinance allows police in OKC to clear out any juveniles by 11 p.m.
Many roads are blocked so cars can only get out of the area. Coming in is not an option.
"The key is to clear the area, and do it quickly," says Barnes.
Wichita looks to OKC:
Bricktown, although a bit larger, looks a lot like Wichita's Old Town. It's so similar Wichita Police say that's who they're looking to for advice.
OKC police have also been successful in keeping violent acts to a minimum. There have been few shootings, and one homicide.
"The gun violence is almost nonexistent in Bricktown," says Barnes.
Chief Norman Williams says his department has talked to OKC, but every city and area is different.
Lt. Barnes agrees—he says just because something works in one city, doesn't mean will work in another.
Barnes says you have to have city government there to support you and be willing to invest in people and resources. He also says if Wichita needs help, they are more than happy to share information.
Wichita has invested in more resources and even changed ordinances in Old Town to help police clear crowds.
Police have also used short term solutions after a series of shootings last year, and the most recent shooting that killed one person and injured six others.
Perception can as important as anything else in an entertainment district. Crime in Wichita's Old Town is actually down 30 percent from year to year, but the most recent shooting makes people less likely to go there.
A recent FactFinder 12 Scientific Survey found only 10 percent of Kansans feel very safe in the area. 37 percent says somewhat safe, 27 percent said not very safe, and 16 percent said not safe at all.
Based on the people we talked to in OKC, there is a positive perception of Bricktown.
"It's safe the way I perceive it," says Trenton Williams who was enjoying a Saturday night in the area.
Everyone we talked to said the same thing.
"We're never fearful. We're fortunate to have it. We're blessed to have it as a city, says Desree Parrack who brought her church youth group to the area.
And bar owners and managers want to keep it that way. They welcome the large police "I have their cell phone numbers they have mine. We don't have any issues," says Corey Travis, GM of Candy Night Club in Bricktown.

By Gary Koehler
The hot news at Elmer Bull's house is that new birds moved into Mason Valley earlier in the week. This is indeed cause for excitement to members of the Yerington Ducks Unlimited committee, who have gathered for a social hour and are scattered throughout the dining and living rooms. By the look of the duck gumbo pot, no one will leave hungry.
Gunning in this region has been slow. And while it is only early December, with much of the season yet to come, the outlook is not bright. The second straight dry year in northern Nevada resulted in little mountain snowmelt runoff and a dearth of ducks and geese.
So when Charlie Booth reports that up to 5,000 fresh-faced western Canada geese had been spotted two days ago, spirits elevate a couple of notches.
"I can't say exactly how many, or where they all are," Booth says, "but we've got some new ones here now anyway. It ought to be a good weekend."
The next morning dawns at a frosty 20 degrees, so setting out the 30 full-body Canada goose decoys in the picked cornfield is actually welcome labor. Wayne Bull, Elmer's son, directs the placement, splitting the faux flock into two nearly equal groups about 20 yards apart. The space in between will serve as the designated landing zone. We hope.
"It'll probably be a while before the geese fly off the roost," Wayne says. "They sit on a pond at an old mine site at night. When they're ready to come out to eat, we'll be waiting for them."
The Bulls gather massive armloads of grass and shrubs that are to be fashioned into makeshift individual blinds. I'm fiddling with my camera and keeping an eye on Lenny, a black Lab who isn't quite sure of the stranger in his midst. Must be the Tennessee dialect.
We position ourselves in a dry creek bed adjacent to the cornfield, which seems totally out of place in the most arid state in the nation. Onions and garlic are among the high desert's dominant crops. Even at 4,400 feet, neither will ever be listed on the standard waterfowl menu.
"You're not going to see much corn during your stay, but the ranchers do raise some for their dairy cattle," Elmer says. "When you can get permission to hunt a cornfield, you've always got a chance at the geese."
Our first opportunity comes a few minutes before eight o'clock after Wayne's subtle calling convinces seven western Canadas that the two family groups on the ground are gorging themselves on waste corn. The birds circle wide and then close in, locking their wings at the far end of the proverbial runway, just as the plan was designed.
We wait as the geese glide into range. And up we go, 12 gauges roaring, breaking the quiet morning chill with a barrage sure to wake the neighbors. Someone didn't shoot straight, and that would be me, although Elmer is also muttering. Wayne, however, was on target. What we don't know is that the best is yet to come. Later that morning, a silent flock of 20 or so honkers drops by for a visit. Lenny is pleased with the additional workout.
The afternoon is spent scouting the Mason Valley Wildlife Management Area (WMA), which encompasses 13,375 acres and is open to public hunting three days a week. Elmer managed this site for 15 years before accepting an administrative post with the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW). Both he and Wayne are more than a little familiar with the territory.
Mason Valley WMA is fortunate to have three water sources, so even though the region has been under drought conditions, at least some of the area's wetlands remain vibrant. Ducks Unlimited has had a hand in maintaining waterfowl habitat here through a number of cooperative projects involving the NDOW. These include pipeline construction, well rehabilitation, and seasonal wetland restoration and enhancement.
"Leveling some of these wetlands has really helped," Elmer says, pointing out 25-acre Butterball Pond, one of three sites on the property that DU helped in engineering. "These projects involved moving significant amounts of earth, but the wetlands produce a mix of natural foods like sago pondweed, wild millet, and smartweed. When the ducks are down, they like it here."
DU has also been involved with multiple habitat enhancement projects at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge. These efforts include restoring native wetland and riparian habitats and improving water-management capabilities. During wet years, Stillwater hosts as many as 350,000 ducks, including half the Pacific Flyway canvasback population, and 13,000 tundra swans.
"Stillwater is the most significant wetland complex in the state," Elmer says. "We'll see what's going on over there tomorrow."
The next day we meet up with Chris Nicolai, a doctoral candidate and waterfowl researcher who regularly stalks Stillwater and any other haunt where he can pack in his layout boat and pair of yellow Labs, Berni and Albi—named after, of all things, brant. Nicolai shares a secret hole that requires breaking a sweat to reach.
"It's been hit or miss—mostly miss—this season," Nicolai says at midafternoon with two mallards and a wigeon thus far in the bag. "We haven't had the water or the birds we had two years ago. But near the end of shooting time, I can guarantee that you'll see swans pouring in here."
Nicolai's clock was wrong. The swans show up just after dark. Ducks too. We watch from the access road as birds drop into the shallow marsh we just left. Not a bad way to end the day.
So this is where it all began—in a desert valley cave measuring roughly 150 feet long and 35 feet wide, overlooking a barren landscape dominated by alkaline soil and scraggly vegetation. It's hard to imagine this desolate locale covered in water and harder still to imagine hunting ducks here. But even now, I'm told, in wet years, when the snowmelt is significant, the scenery changes dramatically.
"I know it must be difficult to picture, but I've hunted here off and on for years," says Nevada native Elmer Bull. "Right out in front of us, and about as far as you can see in either direction, it's all been underwater. And the ducks love it. Hunting can be spectacular."
Bull, along with his son Wayne, accompanied me to Lovelock Cave, a decoy collector's and waterfowl historian's nirvana. This is, after all, where the oldest handmade decoys known to man were dug from a pit in 1924 by California anthropologist Llewellyn L. Loud and Mark R. Harrington, who was sponsored by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, of New York.
Loud worked at this site 12 years earlier and had unearthed thousands of archeological specimens. Harrington elected to take a more detailed approach during his time at the historic dig. Using small picks and trowels, they unearthed artifacts that were later found to cover a span of nearly 9,000 years.
Among their findings in a relatively untouched corner of the cave were 11 decoys made of tules, or bulrush stems. Resembling canvasbacks, the decoys measured approximately 11 inches long and had heads with bills, and white feathers were attached lengthwise to the body. Eight were complete, and three were unfinished. Radiocarbon dating has put the decoys' age around 2,000 years old.
Their maker apparently valued his work. The decoys were not found easily. The bottom of what appeared to be a seed storage pit was really a fake. Four feet down, underneath a layer of mats and basketry, was a package carefully wrapped in rushes. The decoys were among the treasured objects. "Some waterfowl hunter had hid his decoys here against another season," Harrington wrote.
And why not? Lovelock Cave is located in a limestone outcropping on the eastern shore of Humboldt Sink, overlooking ancient Lake Lahontan, which dates to the Pleistocene period. Thousands of years ago, this substantial marshland supported vast numbers of waterfowl and other wildlife. The nearby cave served as a natural closet of sorts, a place where tools and food were stored, and a relatively dry and safe haven from the elements, or marauding enemies.
A trip to northern Nevada would not have been complete without visiting Lovelock Cave. Having attended the Easton Waterfowl Festival and the National Antique and Sporting Collectibles Show, and having visited decoy auctions and displays, the Ward and Havre de Grace museums, and similar venues, I've been fortunate to have seen some extraordinary vintage decoys from throughout North America.
Lovelock Cave—where it all began—is at yet another level.

I like the look of QCAD and am currently trying out the trial version on Ubuntu 9.04. I have a couple of questions:
QCAD looks fine under gnome, however, the version of the assistant used for the help looks terrible. Do you have any plans to make the help assistant use the same Qt version as QCAD?
I notice that the last release of QCAD was quite some time ago. Is the program still under development? Can we expect bug fixes and new features?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Europe's pharma fights crisis
26.06.2012 - A lobby association sees the European pharma industry in danger and asks EU leaders to react before supply shortens and innovations decline.
Brussels – Will the economic crisis of Southern Europe bleed through to European drug makers? The EU pharma industry association EFPIA thinks so and therefore demands two major concessions. Thus far manufacturers of pharmaceuticals have had to compensate for payment arrears and negotiated steep price cuts. In a letter to EU leaders, they now express their belief that only wide-ranging concessions will guarantee the continued supply of countries like Spain, Portugal and Greece.
Sir Andrew Witty, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline plc and currently head of Europe's pharmaceutical association EFPIA, sees danger springing up from drug reference pricing and parallel trade. In an open letter to the European Heads of States and Governments Witty demands the exclusion of countries undergoing fiscal restructuring programmes from those which the drug referencing price system is based on. Moreover, he wants temporary bans on the re-export of medicines from low-cost to high-cost countries. The ban is said to be also responsible for supply shortages as seen recently in Romania and Greece.
The crisis-stricken countries now benefitted for more than two years from discounts worth €7bn. However, for instance, Greece has still not paid for 99% of the medicines received in the first quarter of the year. Continued losses will ultimately threaten the pharma industry as a whole – responsible for 660.000 jobs and an EU trade balance surplus of €48bn, writes Witty. Time to act for Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Council President Herman Van Rompuy. Witty's letter comes just in time for the June 28-29 summit in Brussels.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/europes-pharma-fights-crisis.html

I registered for the Philadelphia Marathon through active.com (after creating an account) and my Amex has definitely been charged, yet there's no record of my registration here, no record at the official marathon site, no one knows anything, no phone number to call, and the email customer service link doesn't work at all.
Is this a legit. site or shoud I call Amex and report this as a fraudulant charge? Is there ANY support system for this site at all?
Hey! I'm Sara and I'm the Online Community Coordinator here at Active.com. I saw your post and have emailed customer support with your issue. I'm so sorry about this. I can imagine how frustrating it is, but don't worry we will get it figured out immediately. That is definitely not how we expect our site to work and I'll make sure the issue is also addressed for the future. I'll let you know when I hear back and we will go from there. You will be running in the Philadelphia Marathon! I'm from Philadelphia, not sure if you are or not, but it is a great marathon. I'll be contacting you asap! Thanks again for your patience.
I just emailed you your registration. Let me know if you don't receive it. Thanks and I appreciate your patience!
My only worry is that there's no registration showing up under my account at active.com and the official marathon confirmation link is through active.com at their site, so what happens if this never shows up anywhere officially? Amex definitely got the charge for it, but why isn't the registration showing up on my account info under the "registrations" tab? Knowing how all this stuff is computer database driven these days, if I get there and they don't have my name, my Amex receipt isn't going to mean much to them.
Okay -- There's STILL no record of my registration either here or at the marathon site.
It's great you're all sending me cute little confirmation emails, but I need to know that I'm OFFICIALLY registered for the marathon and that they have me in their database and that I'm not going to show up and find out they're freakin' clueless as to my registration that day. This is really unfair. There shouldn't be a charge on my card and no OFFICIAL recognition that I've registered for this event. This is just wrong. Either get me OFFICIALLY registered or refund my money. This is beyond bad business at this point.
Good Morning Nora,
The same thing happened to me,turns out I registered with 2 different passwords, I know that messed the process, Good luck in getting straightened out. Gary
No, that's not it. I only just created the account to register for this event. The thing is, I'm getting all sorts of weird **** about this event -- some fundraising scam nonsense, and all kinds of big promises that, oh, yeah, I'm really registered, you just can't see it, blahblahblah.
I've registered for events online before through several outside scoring/registration organizations and I"ve NEVER had a problem. All I know is if there's a big fat charge on my Amex, I had better see a big fat registration confirmation at my account here, otherwise it's a fraud. You don't take money and then not deliver.
I will NEVER use active.com for an event again. I'll just write a check at the event from now on, or pay cash.
The worst thing is there's ZERO customer service for this place. The email link doesn't work, the phone number is based on some ridiculous west coast time and isn't available until afternoon for the east coast people (whose money they're happily depositing into their account and earning interest on), and no one knows anything. All I get are people SAYING I'm registered and saying THEY can see the confirmation under my registration tab on my account page, but nada for me. Screw it. I ABHOR mediocrity and half-assed BS and people who just don't give a **** about doing a job right.
I'm registered for Philly and it doesn't show up on the Registrations tab here (actually nothing shows on the registrations tab). But I do show as registered on the marathon web site.
Hey Nora,
I wish I could give you a definite answer for what happened with your registration, but right now I can't. Customer support and the development team is working to figure this out. They were able to go in and see your registration, but I'm not sure why you can't see it. I will keep you posted as soon as I hear anything regarding this issue. I totally understand you frustration. This should NOT happen and we haven't seen it happen before. Thank you again, Nora.
At this point I'm just going to dispute the charge on my Amex and get it reversed. I'll send a check in to the official marathon people with a hard application. I've never had anything like this happen before and it's not fair to ask me to hold $400+ in hotel reservations.
The marathon people are just as bad. I emailed them three days ago, and left a message on their service, still no answer.
I too am having the EXACT same problems.......only one account, one username/password......a recent 1/2 marathon I signed up for shows NOTHING on my active.com account. I've been billed, and the only confirmation I have is my printed receipt. I hope it's enough.
To make matters more frustrating EVERY time I try to email support about this problem, it gets rejected for some weird error. I have tried at least 10 times to email on different days, and I get the same error every time. I'm not stupid, I know how to fill out an online contact form. Something is messed up and it's very frustrating!
I had the same problem from my computer at home when I singed up for Ironman Cozumel. When I went to my registrations there was nothing there. Not even races that I signed up for in the past through Active.com. I check from a different computer and everything shows up fine. Don't know if it is a browser issue or not.........
They are working on the problem. I'm really sorry. It's completely annoying and frustrating. It will be fixed soon. If you would like a copy of your receipt please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will get customer support to email it to you.
Thanks for your patience!
To answer your topic question... this is a very legitimate website. I have signed up for countless number of events on this website, all with one account. Sometimes they show up on my profile page, othertimes they don't. It doesn't matter if it is on the computer or the internet though, because you said you got a confirmation email. Print that out and take that and a photo ID to your packet pick up. It isn't like you have to bring your laptop to race day to show you registered, just print out the page you were directed too after you paid and it said, "Registration Complete" or something of the sort. You don't even really have a good reason to worry yet, it's not like you were denied on race day yet, that's when you should be mad.
I've emailed you twice now with a request for a copy of my receipt for the event I signed up for with no response. Did you get it?
My race is in approx 30 days, so I would really appreciate some type of confirmation that I am registered thru active.com.

Member for two years gets first FJR
Posted 15 March 2012 - 10:37 AM
I'd just lost my FZ1 with sweet custom paint job due to an accident with a car that pulled out in front of me. Seller for the 04 was out on a trip on his goldwing and I was waiting for him to return so I could tell him I wanted it when a guy on the FZ1 board sent me a shot of his beautiful 2003 yellow and black FZ1. I'm a sucker for yellow and black and this bike was pristine, and it was like looking at porn. I made the deal, flew to KC and rode it home to Dallas.
Plans change, things change and without local mountains and twisties, I find I'm doing more and more stuff that just doesn't suit the old sportbike so much anymore. I started thinking back to the FJR and then got a chance to chase one through the Mountains of Arkansas and saw that the FJR isn't just a highway mile gobbler, it is a twisty pavement shredder as well. Now the wheels are really turning.
So, now's the time, I started hunting here, craigslist and cycletrader. Looking everywhere. I managed to pop in here and cruppelt was selling his. I posted up three hours after he posted the ad and PM'd him that I wanted it. Holy crap was that bike a beauty. Add on to that a much more interesting fly n buy opportunity from Oregon to DFW than my last one from KC. I had it all planned out, beat feet south and get out of the cold and wet and hit California, then down the PCH, visit friend in LA. Hop over to Vegas and stay the night ($40 at the Luxor! Way better than a Motel 6) and then head out and catch a glimpse of the local dam and canyon before heading south to Phoenix to crash with a friend. Then finish it off with a SS1000 home from there.
Sigh...adventure was not meant to be. cjskach spoke to cruppelt in the process and was first in line. Dang! He got a darn good bike, congrats to him, I spent several days jealous as heck.
Then a local craigslist ad resurfaced and I gave it a whirl. Went and looked at the bike, haggled a little bit (I suck at this by the way if you are trying to sell me something) and struck a deal. One snafu with the bank financing (check was written to the incorrect business entity at the dealership) and I picked her up today. Got me a 2007 FJR1300AE.
I've been consuming every thread I can find on it, so I've got my list. Let's see....remove slack from throttle cable, throttle spring unwind, G2, PCIII and a clutch soak. That should get me going. Riding it home I felt like a brand new motorcyclist trying to ride this thing, but already I can feel my right wrist being retrained and it's getting better.
To answer a couple of questions...
1. Why a Gen II? - I'd had my heart set on an 05 for a long while. I'm one of those bizarre folks who find it to be one of the best blues out there. I have to say though, seeing an 06 in person tells you that pictures don't do that color justice. In the sunlight that's a fantastic blue. However, in Texas I can use all the heat protection I can get, I wanted to never have to wish for electricity (like I do on my FZ1) and absolutely wanted ABS this time around. It seems Gen I ABS bikes are very few and far between out there and the sellers are proud of the fact it has ABS. All things pointed to a Gen II for me, and this was a decision I agonized over.
2. Why an AE? - Why not? I figured what the heck, and after reading and reading and really finding a very select few who got one and wished they hadn't and most being very happy I figured I'd give it a whirl. I ride to work as much as I can which means I can take the HOV lanes. The HOV lanes in certain parts of Dallas suck in that there's nothing separating them from the main lanes except a double white line and some plastic picket fence things. This means any accident on the left side of the highway usually ends up in the HOV lane with it closed. More often than not, the accident comes from some idiot leaving the stopped main lanes and jumping into the fast moving HOV lanes. Either way, it means I'm sitting in stop and go traffic with a cramp in my left hand from working the clutch. I'm hoping this will make that experience less hateful. In addition, it's funny how street guys tend to be so pure and against the auto clutch while the Recluse auto clutch sells like hotcakes in the dirt world. I figure if it works there, then I'll like it here.
Anyway, that's about it. Just for NMRoadRunner who I don't think has ever seen a picture of an 07 AE before....

Currently i listen to this? That is, assuming it isnt every post. Once in a while.
Not that Skelington really posts music much, but rules are good to know.
Yeah, like when we were talking about how awesome the Zelda series is, posting the music you enjoy from the series would be "on topic." Just posting music randomly for the hell of it to let everyone know what you're listening to? Well, there's a thread for that somewhere else.
It can be pretty effective at sparking conversation.
Like when people begin to discuss their musical whatnot after Obe randomly posts a song.
ok so I recently bought 2 boxes of soda, some basic 6 packs from the mini mart
1 was supposed to be sold back in march, the other december of 2010
Now I have someone to snap at tomorrow, flat and tasted like crap, fuck.

Need More Pixels? Samsung's 2014 UHD TVs Ship This Month
Samsung's 2014 lineup of Ultra High-Definition (aka 4K) TVs are on the way, and thanks to UHD content deals struck with Fox and Paramount—not to mention the arrival of Netflix in UHD—you might actually have something to watch on those gigantic sets.
On the low end of Samsung's UHD TV range, the company will sell the U8550—a flat panel will be available in a range of sizes and prices: 50-inches for $2,499.99, 55-inches for $2,999.99, 60-inches for $3,499.99, 65-inches for $3,999.99, and 75-inches for $5,999.99. The 55-inch model will hit retail first, later this month, while the other four sizes will go on sale in May.
Sitting in the mid-tier of Samsung's UHD push will be Samsung's U8700 curved sets, which the company says will be offered in both 55-inch and 65-inch screen sizes. Pricing is to be determined, as is a solid release date—for now Samsung is saying late spring.
And at the top of Samsung's UHD TV spectrum is the U9000 curved televisions. Samsung says these, the most expensive LCD TVs it'll sell, feature the best image and color quality it offers. The U9000 TVs will be offered in three sizes and price points: 55-inches for $3,999.99, 65-inches for $4,999.99 and 78-inches for $7,999.99.
In the second half of this year, Samsung will also start selling a massive 105-inch curved UHD TV, which will feature a 21 x 9 aspect ratio—no word on pricing yet.
Price Is Right?
None of these sets are cheap, but Gary Merson, the editor-in-chief of HDGuru.com, said Samsung's current TV pricing is lower than he expected.
"Surprisingly, many of its 2014 HDTV and UHD models are priced at or near the exiting prices of its 2013 line," Merson said. "This is very unusual as in all prior years, the new models initially came in at hundreds of dollars higher."
So, why isn't Samsung jacking up the price for its latest and greatest? "I think it is a combination of the desire to get more UHD market penetration and keep up overall market share," he said. "Consumers end up with more features for the same dollars."
One standout feature that Samsung's UHD TVs will include is the One Connect Box found in each set. Inside of this box will be all the guts pertaining to the software the TV runs on, as well as what ports and wireless connectivity options it has, too. Samsung says One Connect Box will be removable so that owners can swap it out in the future and upgrade to any newer hardware technologies that come out over the next few years.
Needed: More 4K Content
The appeal of all of these UHD TVs is, of course, the 4K resolution, which has four times as many display pixels as standard HD TV sets. But the truth is that, unless you get a set that measures 65 inches or greater, and position it closer than 9 feet from your couch, you likely won't notice a striking difference. After all, when was the last time you've seen a discernible pixel on the TV already sitting in your living room? Besides, while typical HDTVs currently top out at a 1080p resolution, and a lot of the content you probably watch on it is lower resolution.
Samsung aims to address is this issue by selling some 4K video to buyers of its UHD TVs. It's struck a few content deals and is offering up a UHD Video Pack of movies and documentaries that it says will be able to take full advantage of its 4K sets.
But Samsung's UHD Video Pack won't be free. It'll sell for $299.99 sometime in April, and include movies such as "Night at the Museum," "The Counselor," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and "World War Z." A second UHD Video Pack with more 4K programming is slated for later on this year.
The TVs also come with Netflix, which will stream in 4K if there's enough bandwidth (15 megabits per second), where content is available. Netflix's hit original "House of Cards" is among the first 4K titles.

Write a review for the Antec NSK-1380-UK Black MATX Cube 350W PSU here!
Great little box!
Reviewed by Russ. Review Posted 19/03/2008
I got this to build a modest spec unobtrusive second machine. With a £40 MATX mobo (MSI P6NGM-FD) using onboard graphics, £104 CPU (Core 2 Duo E6550) with supplied fan, £16 of RAM (Kingston 1GB DDRII 800MHz), and a £30 SATA 200GB HDD, I have ended up with a nifty little machine that speed-wise knocks spots off my main machine (3GHz P4 HT), yet runs virtually silent and as cool as a cucumber.
As for ease of assembly, I found no problem slipping the mobo in from the side with the PSU in situ. Space is a little confined when getting the power connectors onto everything, especially the HDD and CD ROM as the cable lengths from the PSU were not overly generous.
One warning - this box won't take a standard ATX form factor PSU. The supplied PSU seems to be a completely non-standard shape, so one slight worry is that if the PSU dies, then getting a replacement may not be easy.
You have to expect some compromises, so overall I like it a lot and would buy again.

Great case - replacement PSU pricey
Reviewed by A M. Review Posted 17/04/2008
I had the predecessor for 5 years + with no problems, but the PSU has just started to die.
Unfortunately a replacement PSU is about £50! (and I can only find it in one place).
Trouble is I can't find any equivalent sized case so will probably buy another!

Great Case
Reviewed by Chaz. Review Posted 20/12/2007
This is my first purchase of a cube style case and i'm very impressed. Its small enough and quiet enough (almost silent)to be used as a media center, at the same time its got room for several expansion cards. My previous media center cpu idled at 45C this sits at about 30C (Athlon x2 4000+ in both systems). I have the 300W psu verion, which limits the graphics card slightly, I have a fanless 8500gt installed which runs no problem,so im glad to see they have increased the power.

Small but flawed
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 07/06/2008
I bought this to house an old Athlon 2200 Mobo for use as a media centre PC. Installation was easy, apart from the poor quality clips mentioned by another reviewer. The power cables are very short - if your mobo has the power connector on the 'front' side of the board you might struggle to make it reach.
The PSU is small and the 12cm fan is quiet, but the CPU sits partially underneath the PSU which limits your choice of CPU cooler.
I've found that the cooling in this case is not that great - my CPU runs quite hot and it's hard to keep the motherboard temperature down. It was supplied with an ingenious outlet fan that fits in a spare PCI slot and blows air out of the back, but it's quite noisy and doesn't move a lot of air. That's why I give it a 4, but for the price it's hard to complain.

Mixed feelings
Reviewed by Mike G. Review Posted 19/08/2008
Pluses-Top and sides easily removable for access, typical Antec construction, very sturdy and should be quiet and fit under TV well
Minuses-internal power leads VERY short, 3SATA 4molex. No 6pin 12v for planned graphics card! Tight to work in but I expected that.
Mixed- looks a bit cheap for an £80 case

- Ease of use

Amazingly fiddly...
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 04/02/2008
This is a very nice looking case and quite small. All the parts I bought fitted in nicely with just enough room for airflow. The only bad thing I have to say about this case is that the motherboard posts are absolutely terrible. It uses snap fit clips, which don't fit correctly. After about an hour I finally got them all in and got them to stay in after bending the parts of the case they fit into. WHY NOT JUST USE SCREW IN ONES. Once built though it is a very quiet system, quietest I've ever seen.

Costly cast - blew 2 motherboards
Reviewed by Martin. Review Posted 27/07/2009
I've had 2 of these, and to be honest, the first was great, that's why I bought the second. Sadly the second blew the first motherboard I put in it. I suspected the board at first, but after ordering another, well, it blew that too.
Unfortunately I had a few months break before I could really look at it again, and it's too late to return them, so all in all this case has cost me nearly £200. Ouch!

Think carefully....
Reviewed by Graham. Review Posted 10/07/2008
I purchased 3 of the previous version of this case (with the 300watt PSU) 6 months ago. It is a solid, neat looking and well made case, and until recently I would have given it 5 stars. Unfortunately 4 weeks ago a PSU in one of the cases failed, and BT have been unable to provide a warranty repair or replacement. Today the PSU in a second of the 3 cases has failed. PSUs are probably the most unreliable part of a PC. If a standard ATX power supply fails it is a simple task to swap in another. With a non standard one like this, the PC is out of action until you can source the replacement. Unless the PC has to be this small, get a case with a standard PSU !
