Youth and Experience
• Ball State's lineup this season is heavy on both experience and youth.

• Whitford came to Ball State after serving the previous eight years on Sean Miller's staff at Xavier and Arizona, including the past two as the Wildcats' associate head coach.
• He also has previous MAC experience with 11 years at Miami University under head coaches Herb Sendek and Charlie Coles.
• During his career as an assistant coach, Whitford's teams posted an overall record of 400-208 and reached the postseason 13 times, including 10 NCAA tournament appearances.
Kamieniecki to Miss Season
• Senior post player Matt Kamieniecki is sitting out the season after undergoing wrist surgery. He will redshirt and return to the floor as a fifth-year senior in 2014-15.
• Kamieniecki has played in 74 games through his first three seasons at Ball State. He averaged 4.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as a junior, starting 11 of the final 16 games after being limited by injury in the first half of the season.
• At this point, Kamieniecki will be the only senior on next year's Ball State roster.
Returning for the Cardinals

Hey Guys,
A new video showing a Line 6 DT25 Adaptive amp just showed up on the net. 25 Watt Head and closed cab, Line 6 Link equipped. Cool looking portable amp.
Connects your L6LINK equipped POD HDxxx to this DT25 amp.
Wadda you think?
- Hans
by Captain_Sensible on 2011-09-24 15:04:45
Price, price, price? I don't know why Line 6 doesn't make an amp that could be used with the HD units for around $700-$800. Both HD and amp would fly off the shelves.
by relayerjb on 2011-09-24 15:33:45
Anderton's lists the combo for 669 pounds, which is around $1000, and the head for 599 ($925). Wonder what the real street price will be.
by Captain_Sensible on 2011-09-24 15:55:01
That includes the VAT though. You need to subtract that tax before converting the currency. For example, Anderton's lists the new Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster as 338 pounds, but it will retail in the US for $379. Anderton's is listing the combo amp at 699 pounds, so doing a little quick figuring, that puts the US retail at around $750.
by relayerjb on 2011-09-24 16:41:40
Good point. Guess that's why they call you Captain Sensible! ;-)
by ethyl80 on 2011-09-24 23:13:32
i didn't catch any mention of L6 Link "thru..." Anyone know if it's got it?
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-25 00:07:51
It has the L6LINK, that's the way the HD500 is coupled and being demonstrated by switching the topologies, amp class etc.
- Hans
by seclusion on 2011-09-25 05:46:14
When is this thing available?
Last night they had a place holder in the amp section for products with no info, now it's gone.
I would love to try this thing
by Captain_Sensible on 2011-09-25 06:32:26
I remember this hub-bub happened last year with the intro to the HD series. Mid to late September were the rumors about them about to hit the streets. Item was released early October. I remember I got mine around the middle of October and I ordered it as soon as it was released. Maybe we're looking at the same schedule here.
by seclusion on 2011-09-25 06:58:07
I'm in Canada, but Anterton's say available Oct 3rd.
So ya, looks like you are right on.
BTW when used with a HD Floor unit, stereo operation is possible (using 2 DT 25's...
Love the 10 watt option as well.
I want, I want. I want...
by ethamajin on 2011-09-25 07:35:37
This thing looks amazing. It seems that Line 6 has been pushing the bar forward at a riduculously fast pace in the past couple of years. The products are getting so much better with these types of collaborative effort with the best names in the industry. It's awesome to see a company whose goal is clearly to make amazing products for their customers. This thing is perfect for me, and I think it will have no problem flying off the shelves! I will be proud to have the Line 6 badge on nearly my entire rig now.
by Captain_Sensible on 2011-09-25 10:25:32
I hope this doesn't hit the street too soon. I need some time to sell some gear to raise some funds.
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-26 00:17:37
DT25 is shipping already.
- Hans
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-26 02:57:34
Guys, I'm trying to cover all available info on one page about the DT25, dived into sections, I'm updating during the whole day, as I'm getting more info.
Feel free to check on this pagelink
I've just added, shipping news, info recieved from Line 6, differnces between DT50 and DT25... and more to follow.
Hope it helps
- Hans
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-26 09:31:06
Manual / Quickguides are available
by relayerjb on 2011-09-26 09:57:13
Thanks for the updates.
The manuals mentions L6 Link working with the HD 300/400/500 but doesn't mention the Pro. I assume it does work with the Pro, and someone forgot to tell the tech writer to add it to the manual? ;-)
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-26 10:13:33
It will applicable for HD Pro aswell, don't worry (be happy ;-) )
- Hans
by relayerjb on 2011-09-26 10:50:27
No worries. I used to be a tech writer so I'm all too familiar with not getting updates from the development team / not remembering to add things to an existing document ;-)
by seclusion on 2011-09-26 14:12:38
Thanks for the info
Let's hope this thing is solid
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-26 23:15:31
By the looks of the guys in the video it seems to be. As always time will tell

Ahh, sweet. Thank you!!
by pratikb on 2011-09-27 14:58:48
Good amp, however the price is skyhigh...
Why not try the bugera 333xl?
by TheRealZap on 2011-09-27 15:28:16
heads up at sweetwater. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DT25-HD/
899 USD, quite a bit higher than i expected... might be in DT50 112 price range when you add the cab
by Nick_Mattocks on 2011-09-28 00:08:31
At advertised UK prices the DT-25 head at Andertons (UK dealer) = £599.99 GBP including 20% Value Added Tax (ex VAT the price would be £500 but unless you're a business owner registered for VAT and can claim back the VAT that's irrelelevant LOL) and at today's (28 Sep 2011) current currency exchange rates that comes out at $938.53 USD so whilst Sweetwater's price seems a little higher than I would have expected too their price is still less than the UK price by about $39, so not a million miles apart.
by Vettaville-nl on 2011-09-28 00:12:10
I've added pricing for Holland and the comparison to the DT50 pricing for convience, just to add to what Nick explained in good detail.
- Hans
by Nick_Mattocks on 2011-09-28 00:25:16
So Holland is cheaper than the UK partly due to the difference in VAT by about £14 GBP, so the league tables for the price of the DT-25 head put the three countries in the following positions (for fun only if we're scoring points LOL):
2 = Netherlands
3 = Great Britain
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Developers that usually deal with web applications know that one of the pillar of this kind of applications is the use of paged result sets because moving a huge number of records form the server to the browser is not a good idea. Metro applications suffer the same problem. No matter that metro applications are not strictly web applications, the application architecture imply that the connection to a datasource have to be wrapped by web service call so the need of limiting the usage of the network is a strong requirements.
Metro introduces a new interesting method to mange pagine of data. Since the use of a common paging is deprecated by guidelines the requirement is to automatically load records when a user is about to the end of the items available on the user interface. This may be an hard task to do with components like GridView and ListView but thanks to the ISupportIncrementalLoading interface it may be easy like a game.
The ISupportIncrementalLoading interface has to be implemented by a collection. When a GridView detects this interface in the class provided in the ItemsSource property, it automatically change its behavior and works loading items only when they really need to fill empty space because the user reached the end. The definition of the interface is pretty simple:
1: public interface ISupportIncrementalLoading
2: {
3: bool HasMoreItems { get; }
4: IAsyncOperation<LoadMoreItemsResult> LoadMoreItemsAsync(uint count);
5: }
The HasMoreItems property simply inform the consumer when there is more items to load. But the core of the interface is the LoadMoreItemsAsync method. As the name suggests this method works asynchronously and it have to load a number of items. The count parameter represents the number of items the consumer needs but the body of the method can load a different number, based on its paging size, and have to return the this number as a result into the LoadMoreItemsResult class.
You may expect that the loaded items have to be returned by this method but it is not true. Remembering that the interface have to be implemented by a collection, the method have simply to append the loaded items to the collection itself. So, this interface needs that the collection raises a CollectionChange event to update the user interface. An exaample is for sure much more clear:
1: public class NaturalNumbers : ObservableCollection<int>, ISupportIncrementalLoading
3: public bool HasMoreItems
4: {
5: get { return true; }
6: }
8: public IAsyncOperation<LoadMoreItemsResult> LoadMoreItemsAsync(uint count)
9: {
10: CoreDispatcher dispatcher = Window.Current.Dispatcher;
12: return Task.Run<LoadMoreItemsResult>(
13: () =>
14: {
15: int[] numbers = Enumerable.Range(this.LastOrDefault(), 100);
17: dispatcher.RunAsync(
18: CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal,
19: () =>
20: {
21: foreach (int item in numbers)
22: this.Add(item);
23: });
25: return new LoadMoreItemsResult() { Count = 100 };
27: }).AsAsyncOperation<LoadMoreItemsResult>();
28: }
29: }
If you attach an instance of this class to a GridView (or a ListView) it will show a series of natural numbers loading them incrementally when you scroll the control. Every time the GridView reach the edge of the screen it needs to load a number of items so, after having checked the HasMoreItems propertyit call the LoadMoreItemsAsync method and await for the end of the operation. Inside this method I start a new Task. This is required because I have to return something to wait to the caller and the AsAsyncOperation converts the Task to the requested async operation. Inside the thread I generate 100 numbers starting from last in the collection then I marshal this numbers to the ui thread and load them to the collection. Since the collection is Observable this updates the items in the user interface. Finally i return the number of items I generated.
As a more complex exercise I've prepared an example attached to the end of this post. This example use the incremental strategy to load images from Flickr search API. The application shown in the following screenshot implements the search contract. When a query is made it load a special collection and the items are loaded incrementally when the user scrolls the GridView.
For this purpose I've created a IncrementalSource class. This class implements the ISupportIncrementalLoading interface and is able to manage every data source that exposes a GetPage method. If you have this method already implemented in an application you can easily turn it to incremental loading in a breeze.
1: public class IncrementalSource<T, K> : ObservableCollection<K>, ISupportIncrementalLoading
2: where T: IPagedSource<K>, new()
3: {
4: private string Query { get; set; }
5: private int VirtualCount { get; set; }
6: private int CurrentPage { get; set; }
7: private IPagedSource<K> Source { get; set; }
9: public IncrementalSource(string query)
10: {
11: this.Source = new T();
12: this.VirtualCount = int.MaxValue;
13: this.CurrentPage = 0;
14: this.Query = query;
15: }
17: #region ISupportIncrementalLoading
19: public bool HasMoreItems
20: {
21: get { return this.VirtualCount > this.CurrentPage * 25; }
22: }
24: public IAsyncOperation<LoadMoreItemsResult> LoadMoreItemsAsync(uint count)
25: {
26: CoreDispatcher dispatcher = Window.Current.Dispatcher;
28: return Task.Run<LoadMoreItemsResult>(
29: async () =>
30: {
31: IPagedResponse<K> result = await this.Source.GetPage(this.Query, ++this.CurrentPage, 25);
33: this.VirtualCount = result.VirtualCount;
35: await dispatcher.RunAsync(
36: CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal,
37: () =>
38: {
39: foreach (K item in result.Items)
40: this.Add(item);
41: });
43: return new LoadMoreItemsResult() { Count = (uint)result.Items.Count() };
45: }).AsAsyncOperation<LoadMoreItemsResult>();
46: }
48: #endregion
49: }
In my example I've implemented a Flickr class that use the flickr.photos.search API. So when a search comes I create an instance of this collection in the ItemsSource property of the GridView.
this.gv.ItemsSource = new IncrementalSource<Flickr, FlickrPhoto>(search);
If you want to try this beautiful application please download the full code from the link below. Provide your own Flicks Api Key and run the example in Visual Studio 2012 RC.

This is a beautiful piece of code. I love when code is so clear that you need no comments. On the other hand I have some questions regarding your implementation which are:Since the collections view will never change the Query, Why the VirtualCount and CurrentPage are members of the IncrementalSource class instead of being members of the IPagedSource? Is it this to decouple the items provider (Source) from the current state of the object requesting the items (IncrementalSource)? What I want to make sure in the last question is that you have the CurrentPage and VirtualCount properties in the IncrementalSource because it is each IncrementalSource task to know where they are (how many items they already have and what's the limit) instead of the Source to keep track of that, right? Otherwise those properties would be in the IPageSource.And also, I would add the PageSize property to the IncrementalSource and request it optionally in the constructor.Please check out the app I'm working on (Single Stream http://jonathanmv.tumblr.com/post/33830153553/single-stream-screenshotsv1). I think it is the perfect scenario to apply this, but I need to make some adjustments so that I can include items published after the query was executed. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thank you very much for sharing this.

Excelent, but how do you control if there are no items in the collection to show the "No results message"?The CollectionChange event is not fired if the first search returns 0 results.

Tutto molto bello, ma...Nel mio progetto uso una libreria PCL per il ViewModel, dato che la UI sarà sia WinRT e WP. Adesso essendo l'interfaccia ISupportIncrementalLoading specifica per WinRT, non è ovviamente utilizzabile in una PCL. Esiste un modo "Custom" per realizzare la stessa funzionalità senza l'uso di quell'interfaccia?Premetto che il mio VM prevede già dei metodi per la ricerca, e quindi caricamento, incrementale. Sto valutando l'ipotesi di utilizzare un converter per wrappare la collezione degli elementi ad una classe come quella che proponi tu.

Excellent article... also converted the FlikrResponse class to a generic one so that is is more re-usable [DebuggerDisplay("PageIndex = {PageIndex} - PageSize = {PageSize} - VirtualCount = {VirtualCount}")] public class PagedDataResponse<T> : IPagedResponse<T> { public int VirtualCount { get; private set; } public IEnumerable<T> Items { get; private set; } public PagedDataResponse(IEnumerable<T> items, int virtualCount) { this.Items = items; this.VirtualCount = virtualCount; } }

Hi I have seen the example, it's nicely coded. However I came across an issue. I tried to use "search" feature within the page rather than search charm, at that time the gridview is not getting update, but it become with 0 items. In short I can't RE-BIND the gridview, why it is happening so ?

MOZAMBICAN army clashes with former rebels may disrupt coal shipments and public transportation without heralding a return to civil war, Alex Vine, head of the African programme at Chatham House, said this week.
The Mozambique National Resistance, known as Renamo, said it was ending the 21-year-old peace agreement with the Southern African nation's ruling party after army troops captured its headquarters in the Gorongosa mountains on Monday.
The action followed Renamo attacks on arms depots and buses this year that killed several people and forced the closing of rail lines used by coal mines owned by mining company Rio Tinto.
"The markets are concerned — (this) adds additional risk for lenders and could make it more difficult for Mozambique to raise funds for infrastructure if this drags on," Mr Vines, based in London, said on Wednesday. "The coal-mining companies have also seen their costs rise," he said.
"Renamo has lost ground dramatically over the last decade," Mr Vines said.
"Renewed violence is a desperate act to obtain concessions."
Renamo fought a 17-year civil war against the ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, or Frelimo, until signing a peace agreement in Rome in 1992. It has served as the main opposition party for two decades without threatening Frelimo's hold on the presidency and parliament.
Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama's electoral support dropped to 16.4% in 2009 from 47.7% a decade before.
"The leadership of Renamo is making a last-minute desperate attempt to get concessions from the Frelimo government," Robert Besseling, senior Africa analyst at IHS Country Risk, said in a phone interview from Johannesburg. "They know that this is the end for them," Mr Besseling said.
Fuelled by transportation, communications, the world's largest discovery of natural gas in the past decade and coal-mining operations run by Rio Tinto and Vale South Africa, Mozambique's $15bn economy is expected to expand 7.4% this year, according to government forecasts. The former Portuguese colony plans to open a liquefied natural gas terminal in 2018 that will be the second-largest export site in the world after Ras Laffan in Qatar. Anadarko Petroleum and ENI are among companies investing in gas production in the country.
"The primary risk to gas development will be elevated risk perceptions," Mark Rosenberg, an Africa analyst for New York-based Eurasia Group, said in an e-mailed response to questions. "Given the geography of the nascent gas infrastructure and that Renamo cannot sustain a wide-ranging or prolonged insurgency, physical risks from recent events are quite low," he said.
Mr Dhlakama is now holed up in the central province of Sofala, close to his bush strongholds during the civil war. Support from the former white-minority governments in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, and South Africa that backed Renamo during the conflict has ended.
"It's only in a very small area of Mozambique where Renamo still has a presence and a fighting capability," Mr Besseling said. "It does not have the capability to stage large-scale attacks on the military," he said.
Mr Dhlakama is ready for talks with Frelimo and believes the government must "show signs of détente" so that he can appear in public, Lourenco do Rosario, rector of the Politechnic University of Mozambique, said on Wednesday in an interview after meeting with a Renamo delegation in the capital, Maputo.
He has criticised President Armando Guebuza's government for allegedly politicising state offices and for setting up an electoral system that favours Frelimo. With general elections set for October next year, there is no indication Frelimo is prepared to make concessions.
"Serious gas players will expect a certain amount of political jockeying around resources in the run-up to local and then national elections," John Smelcer, director of Africa Mining & Energy Projects at the Johannesburg-based law firm, Webber Wentzel, said on Thursday in an e-mailed response to questions from Maputo. "They also likely understand that Renamo is no longer capable of projecting a serious threat."

Good form of magnesium
Posted by truevitality on May 30, 2012
Magnesium glycinate is a good absorbable form to get your magnesium without getting the runs.
Seems to be free of magnesium sterate
Posted by Reviewer1499149 on Sep 14, 2012
It is hard to find supplements free of magnesium sterate. I'm not sure what is in the "vegetable capsule", so I hope that it doesn't include the mag.sterate. Since I'm not sure about the capsule, I am giving it only 4 vs 5 stars. This is good stuff with NO after-taste.

- For this layout, I used the Jumbo Rollagraph using the "WordWords" design wheel and Watermark Ink Cartridge. Roll the Rollagraph vertically along the side of the paper.
- Immediately after stamping the image, sprinkle with Top Boss Thick Clear Embossing Powder over the stamped image. If you are using a tidy tray, gently tap the corner of the box on the tray to remove all the excess embossing powder. A folded piece of paper works just a well. If any stray bits of embossing powder still remain on the surrounding image,use a small paint brush to gently remove the stray embossing powder.
- Holding a heat gun approximately six inches from the paper, sweep backwards and forwards until the Top Boss Clear Thick Embossing Powder starts melting. Do not over heat the image with the heat gun because the embossing powder will burn. Continue to repeat the stamping using the Rollagraph on the other side of paper.
- Gently shake the Cosmic Pink, Silver Foil and Cherry Ice Smooch Spritz to make sure the mica is mixed completely with the ink. Holding your Smooch Spritz just a few inches from the inked paper, spray and coat the paper with a layer of Smooch. No worry, if there are droplets of the spray on the paper as they will be blended into the background in a future step.
- Carefully peel off the backing of the French Swirl Design Adhesives and place on the page.
- Lay a piece of Silver Fog Designer Foil, shiny side up, on to the Designer Adhesive. Gently rub and smooth the Designer Foil with your fingers to press it into the Designer Adhesive image. Gently peel the foil sheet away from the page.
- Using the Jumbo Rollagraph WordWords Design Wheel and Coal Black Ink Cartridge, roll the Rollagraph vertically along the right and left side of the page.
- Tap the Stylus Tips blending tool on the Chianti Colorbox Pigment Stamp Pad to pick up a small amount of ink. Now using the Stylus Tips blending tool, blend the Pigment ink and Smooch Spritz into the paper. Make sure you blend the embossed area with more pressure to apply more ink around the heat embossed area created in step three. This will create a stark contrast between the embossed area, which will resist the Pigment Ink, and the inked area of the page.
- Aggressively run a paper distressing tool over the edges of the page. Once the edges have been distressed with the tool, ink the edges with Black Colorbox Pigment Ink Brush Pad.
- Place a double matted photo on the page but do not adhere. Using a pencil, draw a box around the photo to mark its placement on the page and then set the photo aside. Stamp a flourish image using Top Boss Watermark Ink pad directly above and below where the photo will be placed on the page. Sprinkle with Top Boss Black Embossing Powder. Follow the embossing instructions in step two and step three listed above.
- Adhere the decorative crystal flourishes, decorative brads, silk flowers,rub-ons and metal title. I changed the color of the folded flowers by spritzing with Smooch Spritz. I also embossed the metal title with Top Boss Black Embossing Powder "Hope"

Maincrop potato varieties produce larger varieties for baking and roasting. For best results, 'chit' the tubers and then plant up from March to mid May. The potatoes will be ready to harvest approximately 20 weeks after planting. Maincrop potatoes are best grown in the ground, where they will have more space. 'Sarpo' potatoes offer exceptional resistance to blight, a common problem in potatoes.

Potato 'Customer Favourites Collection'
Solanum tuberosum
First early, second early, maincrop.
All of your favourite varieties in one fantastic collection. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
Please note: This collection CANNOT be sent to Northern Ireland or Eire.

Potato 'Carolus'
Solanum tuberosum
Early Maincrop.
Smooth-skinned pale yellow tubers with attractive shallow red eyes and pale yellow flesh. Carolus combines a slightly floury texture with excellent flavour. At our Capel Manor potato trials in September 2014, Carolus was voted No.1 as both a baker and chipper in taste tests, but we've roasted, boiled and mashed them in our own tests at home with superb results. The growing test produced a bumper crop of uniformly sized oval tubers with no signs of blight or rotting from a late September harvest. New to the amateur market, it has already performed exceptionally and was awarded an RHS AGM at the off site Capel Manor trials in September 2014.

Every morning since April, Bailey and Savanna Burchett have started the day by taking their dairy calves for a 30-minute walk.
Bailey, 10, walked Justin, while Savanna, 8, led Luke.
The sisters' routine was done to prepare for the 71st Chelsea Community Fair, where they showed in the dairy feeder calf division Tuesday evening.
• Where: Chelsea Fairgrounds, Old US 12 at Old Manchester Road.
• Admission: Adults $7, children 10 years and under free, seniors (65 and older) free on Thursday only.
• Season pass: Adults, $25; students with school ID, $15; seniors (65 and older) $15.
• Parking: Free.
• Online: www.chelseafair.org
Although the sisters also show pigs, turkeys and chickens, they say the calves are their favorites - even though they'll be sold in the livestock auction Thursday at 7 p.m.
"They understand, and they're OK with it," said their father, Harold Burchett, who was helping them wash the calves before the competition.
Bailey said the key to showing her 470-pound calf is staying calm.
"If you are excited, the calf gets excited; if you're cool, the calf stays calm," she said.
Savanna said her 325-pound calf, Luke, is easier to handle than the much larger calf she showed in last year's fair.
"You really have to watch what you're doing," Savanna said.
Both girls agreed they enjoy the showmanship class better than the market class.
Judge Lisa Lutchka of Grass Lake said showmanship is how the child presents the animal, while the focus in the market class is judging the animal.
Full grown dairy cattle can weigh up to 1,750 pounds, but feeder calves have a maximum weight of 600 pounds and a minimum weight of 300 pounds, Lutchka said.
"A lot of fairs have feeder calf classes to help the younger kids handle a smaller animal than a large steer," said Kevin Christian, a superintendent of the dairy feeder cattle at the fair.
Last year, there were 17 entries, and this year there were 13, Christian said.
Alissa Trinkle, 10, of Lima Township showed the grand champion calf and finished second in her age group in showmanship.
"I wanted to show a steer, but I was too young, so I tried a baby cow," she said.
Children ages 6 to 12 can show feeder calves and decide if they want to move up to steers.
"I like showmanship," Alissa said, "because it's judged on you. I like market class because it's judged on the calf."
The fair continues through Saturday.

Bide ye the Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust.
Ye must live and let live, fairly take and fairly give.
Cast the Circle thrice about, to keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch, speak ye little, listen much.
Deosil go by waxing moon, chanting out the Wiccan runes.
Widdershins by waning moon, chanting out the baneful tune.
When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the moon rides at Her peak, then the heart's desire seek.
Heed the North wind's mighty gale. Lock the door and trim the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, live will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the West, departed spirits have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in the cauldron go, burn them quick and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or curs'd ye be.
When the wheel begins to turn, let the Beltane fires burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule, light the log and the Horned One rules.
Heed ye flower, bush and tree, by the Lady, blessed be.
Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone, the truth to know.
When ye have and hold a need, hearken not to other's greed.
With a fool no seasons spend, or be counted as his friend.
Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law ye should, three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow, where the blue star on thy brow.
True in love ye must e'er be, lest thy love be false to thee.
The words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An It Harm None, Do What Ye Will.

Alpha Delta sorority holds meetings
Members of the Alpha Delta chapter met at the home of Joanie Fontenot for its February 3, meeting. Two members attended the March 20, trip to St. Francisville sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.
Becky Buller is proceeding with the chapter service project Operation Smile and presented information at the following meeting. Members enjoyed attending the cultural program planned by Charlotte Fontenot and Linda Buller, which was a performance by Marcia Ball and her Jazz Band at the Grand Opera House in Crowley January 31. The trip was very worthwhile just in visiting the Opera House and learning its history.
The spring social committee members, Linda Buller, Diana Reed, Sherrell LeBoeuf and Janella Soileau, together with eight other members, enjoyed their outing to Houston, Texas, March 6-8.
Hostess Joanie Fontenot presented a program on how to have a youthful appearance.
Mary Alice Fontenot hosted the March 3, meeting. Members were reminded by a message from the Magnolia Garden Club members to help keep the city "clean and green" during the Cleanest City Contest. Congratulations to the City of Ville Platte for receiving third place. The sorority would like to extend a thank you to the members of the Magnolia Garden Club for their efforts, as well as the citizens who helped with the project.
Committee members Diana Reed and Linda Buller are busy collecting items from Sherrell LeBoeuf and Joanie Fontenot and planning the menu for the sorority's meal to be auctioned off at the annual foundation project entitled "An Evening in the Orient, " which will be held April 16.
A cultural evening was planned by Rose Frey in Lafayette with dinner at Bailey's Restaurant, followed by attendance at the highly-rated movie showing of "Slumdog Millionaire" March 17.
The election of new officers will be held at the next meeting. The hostess presented information on hints for the use of coffee filters.

Gigabyte's premium wireless mouse
Subject: General Tech | October 17, 2013 - 06:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: input, gaming mouse, Aivia Uranium, gigabyte
Gigabyte's Aivia Uranium is more than just a wireless gaming mouse, you also get a receiver with a receiver that sports an OLED and displays what your current settings are. The report rate can be set from 125Hz to 1kHz and the DPI from 100 to 6500 on the fly. Counting the mouse wheel there are 10 programmable buttons which can handle macros as well as single push actions. At $120 it is quite expensive but HiTech Legion felt there were enough included functions to actually make it worth it for someone who needs more than just a mundane mouse.
"The Gigabyte Aivia Uranium is a one of a kind gaming mouse that comes with an OLED wireless receiver. The receiver's display enables the Aivia Uranium to control macros, program buttons, change sensitivity and polling rates without having to use software on the computer. There are 10 programmable buttons and a no-slip rubberized surface so that even the most intense gaming session won't go out of control."

IDF 2013: Products With 20Gbps Thunderbolt 2 Appear At IDF 2013

Intel recently launched its next generation Thunderbolt 2 interface, and several devices using the new connection were shown off at the Intel Developer Forum. The major takeaway from Thunderbolt 2 is the increased bandwidth and benefits to video production houses working with large uncompressed media. Specifically, Thunderbolt 2 is a PCI-Express based external interface that sends both video output and data down a single cable. Upgrades over the original 10Gbps Thunderbolt standard include an updated to the DisplayPort 1.2 video standard and double the bandwidth to 20Gbps. Thanks to the increased bandwidth, Thunderbolt 2 enables simultaneous video output and video file transfer of 4K media. Video editors can watch and transfer 4K video to an DisplayPort-equipped monitor and external RAID array respectively.
Intel is kicking off the Thunderbolt 2 standard with the launch of its DSL5520 and DSL5320 Thunderbolt 2 controllers, which are already in the hands of device manufactures. In fact, there were quite a few bits of hardware being shown off at this years IDF that already support the new Thunderbolt 2 standard. Intel is expecting even more devices in 2014.
Professional video editing and workstation hardware with Thunderbolt 2
While consumer PC hardware will be supporting Thunderbolt 2, the new interface is most beneficial to professional users and IDF was the launch pad for several high end pieces of production gear. Sonnet launched the Echo Express III external PCI-E card chassis that allows users to hook up PCI-E cards to systems via Thunderbolt 2 (for example: video capture card or fast solid state storage). Also, AJA showed off a video/audio capture box called the IO 4K that supports daisy chaining other Thunderbolt 2 devices and acts as a video capture card capable of taking in 4K and UltraHD video sources as well as high end audio inputs. Finally, PROMISE Technology showed off its Pegasus2 RAID 5 enclosure and SANLink2 Thunderbolt 2 bridge device.
External boxes are not the only professional products with Thunderbolt 2 at IDF, however. The technology is also being integrated into workstations, including the Apple Mac Pro with six Thunderbolt 2 ports and HP's new lineup of desktop workstations.
Z87 Motherboards With Thunderbolt 2
Thunderbolt 2 will also be used in consumer gear as well, including Z87 motherboards. Asus, AsRock, and Gigabyte all had motherboards on display that each featured two Thunderbolt 2 ports. The new interface will be available on the multiple boards from the manufacturers. German tech site ComputerBase.de posted several photos of Thunderbolt 2-equipped motherboards and gave a glimpse at the upcoming hardware.
The Asus Z87-Deluxe/Quad, an AsRock Z87 motherboard, and Gigabyte Z87X-UD5 TH spotted at IDF by ComputerBase.de.
Of note are the ASUS Z87-Deluxe/Quad, AsRock Extreme 11/ac, and Gigabyte Z87X-UD7 TH. All boards off LGA 1150 CPU sockets, four DDR3 DIMM slots, a slew of SATA 6Gbps ports, multiple PCI-E 3.0 x16 and x1 slots, and rich rear IO including two Thunderbolt 2 ports (naturally).

The following chart breaks down the specifications. Unfortunately pricing and availability have not been announced for these boards, but expect to pay a premium for the high end gaming hardware and new Thunderbolt 2 controller. (The Asrock Extreme 11/ac in particular takes the word "high end" to the, well, extreme.)

It is promising to see so many devices this early into Thunderbolt 2's launch, and the various high end motherboard using both Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3 gives consumers the best of both worlds and access to all manner of external peripherals. The bandwidth increase is certainly welcome, and I am interested to see what sorts of new devices it enables. For now, I think Thunderbolt 2 is going to be mainly a professional (or at least "pro-sumer") technology. With that siad, 4K capture and video output is already being worked on, and I am curious to see what other applications and technologies will really be able to push the new 20Gbps interface and what trickles down to the consumer space!

Gigabyte Launching Factory Overclocked GTX 760 4GB WindForce OC Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 9, 2013 - 04:45 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: windforce 450w, gtx 760, gigabyte, factory overclocked
Gigabyte is reportedly launching a new GTX 760 graphics card with 4GB of GDDR5 memory. It will be paired with the company's WindForce 450W cooler and uses the same PCB as its Gigabyte GTX 770 sibling.
The upcoming Gigabyte GTX 760 4GB WindForce OC is model number GV-N760OC-4GD. As the name suggests, the card comes with a decent factory overclock on the GPU. The card uses NVIDIA's GTX 760 GPU with 1,152 CUDA cores, 96 TMUs, and 32 ROPs within 6 SMX units. Gigabyte has overclocked the GPU to 1085 MHz base and 1150 MHz boost. For comparison, the reference GTX 760 is has a base clockspeed of 980 MHz and a boost clockspeed of 1033 MHz. Memory on the Gigabyte GTX 4GB WindForce OC remains the same as the stock design, at 6GHz, there is just more of it at 4GB total versus the stock 2GB of GDDR5.
The factory overclocked card features an eight-phase VRM and the company's WindForce 3X 450W cooler. The dual slot, triple fan cooler has three 80mm fans cooling two aluminum fin stacks that connect to the copper baseplate via two 8mm and four 6mm heatpipes. It is rated to cool up to 450W TDPs. Because this factory overclocked graphics card is based on the same PCB Gigabyte used for its GTX 770, it requires a single 6-pin and a single 8-pin PCI-E power connector. This setup should provide ample power to push voltage and get higher overclocks, the specific GPU permitting.
There is no pricing or availability information yet, but expect it to be around $270 since its 2GB sibling has an MSRP of $260. Additional photos of the new graphics card can be found over at Tech Power Up.
