NYPA Files Application for A New License For the Niagara Project Reflecting Participation of Area Communities
For Further Information:
Michael Saltzman
August 18, 2005
LEWISTON—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Thursday submitted an Application for a New License to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for its Niagara Power Project, a 2,400,000-kilowatt project whose low-cost hydropower is a mainstay of the Western New York economy and serves as the Empire State's single largest source of emission-free, renewable power. The application reflects substantial input of various interested parties in the region, provided through a multiyear public process.
The filing with FERC, for a new 50-year operating license, also included an Applicant-Prepared Environmental Assessment of the project, whose current license expires in August 2007. Both the license application and the environmental assessment reflect comments by the interested parties, or stakeholders, who have partnered with NYPA in an alternative licensing approach that differs from the traditional one where the stakeholder's role during the pre-application phase is limited.
On Friday, the Power Authority will also submit to FERC relicensing settlement agreements with federal and state resource agencies and environmental organizations, area municipalities, the Tuscarora Nation, customers and other stakeholders. Those agreements, finalized over the last month, stem from the Alternative Licensing Process that began at the end of 2002, after FERC approved NYPA's request to proceed in that direction to reduce or eliminate unresolved issues and to obtain stakeholder support of the new license.
"The submittal of the license application and supporting documents is a major milestone in our cooperative efforts with numerous parties to assure the Niagara Project's continued, effective operations, as well as enhance the Niagara River and its surrounding communities," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, NYPA president and chief executive officer. "We take very seriously our stewardship of this vital project, which produces low-cost power directly linked to more than 43,000 jobs at over 100 Western New York businesses. We also recognize the importance of assisting the communities that host the project."
Zeltmann noted that the settlement agreements allow the Power Authority to meet its federal regulatory obligations, while providing additional benefits to the various stakeholders.
"The alternative licensing process permitted early community involvement in identifying environmental, socioeconomic, cultural and land management issues for further study, and provided us with significant influence in the development of the license application and other documents," said Sen. George D. Maziarz. "This has been a real team effort, with careful attention to detail and appreciation for the importance of negotiation and compromise."
"Anyone involved with this process couldn't help but come away from it with a keener appreciation of the Niagara Project's significance to Western New York, particularly for creating and protecting jobs," said Assemblywoman Francine DelMonte. "NYPA's inclusive approach provided our communities with an integral say in the project's future, and negotiated settlement agreements that balance the diverse interests concerning its operation."
"The various settlement agreements between the Power Authority and regional stakeholders provide numerous benefits for Western New York without compromising the rates manufacturers pay for low-cost hydropower," said James Rouse, co-chairman, Power for Economic Prosperity (PEP), a coalition representing 24 regional manufacturing companies. "The Niagara Power Project helps to protect tens of thousands of family-sustaining jobs in Western New York, so the progress toward relicensing of the project is good news."
One of the settlement agreements addresses new license terms and conditions for ecological, recreation and water quality resources, with the parties to the accord including the U.S. Department of the Interior, through its component bureaus, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and the National Park Service (NPS); also, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP); the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC); New York Rivers United; Friends of the Buffalo-Niagara River; the Niagara Relicensing Environmental Coalition; the Niagara Falls Water Board; the New York Association of Public Power; the New York State Rural Electric Cooperative Association; and the Municipal Electric Utility Association.
"The extensive studies supporting the Power Authority's license applications, as well as the comprehensive settlement agreement, demonstrate a thorough review of the environmental resources associated with the Niagara Project," said DEC Acting Commissioner Denise M. Sheehan. "Beneficial environmental enhancements to such resources in the Niagara River basin, provided under the settlement agreement, are examples of the high degree of cooperation resulting from state agency and stakeholder participation in the critical stages of the Power Authority's licensing effort."
"The protection of the aquatic ecosystems of the Niagara River is an integral part of this well-considered relicensing agreement," said Julie Barrett O'Neil, executive director, Friends of Buffalo Niagara River (FBNR), the organizer of the Niagara Relicensing Environmental Coalition. "It will help restore and protect wetlands, forest and shrub habitats and improve public access to the river."
The relicensing agreement with DEC, FBNR and other regulatory agencies and environmental organizations provides for the Power Authority's creation of a $12-million fund for construction of eight habitat improvement projects (HIPs) at designated areas outside the Niagara Project's boundaries, within the Niagara River basin. The HIPs will help protect fish and wildlife along the river corridor.
Among the other NYPA license commitments under the multiparty settlement agreement with resource agencies and others:
—One million dollars annually for additional habitat improvement projects in the Niagara River basin, to be identified by an Ecological Standing Committee consisting of representatives of NYPA, DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the Seneca Nation of Indians, the Tuscarora Nation, Tonawanda Seneca Nation, N.Y. Rivers United, and the Niagara Relicensing Environmental Coalition.
—Capital improvements to enhance public access to the river in the area of the project, including additional parking for anglers and others.
—Improvements to recreational facilities operated by OPRHP on lands within or in the vicinity of the Niagara Project boundary, supported by a nearly $9.3 million fund NYPA established for this purpose.
—A $19 million fund to address the project's impact on groundwater flow. The fund will be administered by the Niagara Falls Water Board and provide for enhancements to the city's Falls Street Tunnel, as well as any future repairs or maintenance related to the capital improvements.
NYPA entered into a separate settlement agreement with the Niagara Power Coalition to establish a Host Community Fund for capital projects and infrastructure, and for economic development and public health and safety. Some $5 million will be provided annually to the communities for the term of the new license.
The Host Community Agreement, which addresses non-licensing matters outside FERC jurisdiction, also includes 25 megawatts of Niagara power for the Niagara Power Coalition communities. And it provides for a Host Community Greenway Fund, with annual NYPA payments of $3 million for recreational facilities and other measures to enhance tourism in Niagara County.
"I fully expect this fair and equitable settlement agreement will support the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's favorable consideration of the Power Authority's license application," said William Ross, chairman, Niagara Power Coalition and chairman of the Niagara County Legislature. "Our organization has worked extremely hard, along with others in Niagara County, at representing the public interest in this process, and we're gratified that the relicensing is now entering the critical, final phase of federal review."
The Niagara Power Coalition consists of the seven municipal entities encompassing the Niagara Project's boundaries: the City of Niagara Falls, Niagara County, the Towns of Lewiston and Niagara, and the school districts of Lewiston-Porter, Niagara-Wheatfield and the City of Niagara Falls.
Beyond the Host Community Agreement, NYPA has committed to establish two additional Greenway funds, for $4 million annually, for ecological projects along the Niagara River basin, and construction and enhancement of area state parks, recreation and related facilities.
Another non-licensing agreement will provide the Tuscarora Nation with a fund for $1 million a year over the duration of the new license. NYPA has also agreed to allocate up to one megawatt of low-cost Niagara power to the Tuscarora, identify opportunities for energy efficiency projects, and enhance Tuscarora cultural programs.
"This agreement will allow us to work together with NYPA to ensure that the relicensing of the Niagara Project proceeds in a manner that protects future generations of the Tuscarora People and the health and well-being of Mother Earth," said Tuscarora Chief Leo R. Henry.
The Niagara Project, which produced its first commercial power in 1961, is New York State's largest single source of electricity. It provides some of the lowest cost electricity in the state, along with another NYPA hydroelectric project, on the St. Lawrence River in Massena.
In late 2003, FERC issued the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Project a new, 50-year license, following a cooperative consultation process similar to the approach the Power Authority has taken for the Niagara Project.

Night visionOctober 24, 2013 by Tim McAdams
On July 24, 2000 in Sumner, Georgia, an AS350B Astar collided with the ground in a heavily wooded area during a clear dark night. According to the NTSB, no pre-existing airframe or engine malfunctions were identified during the post-crash examination. They determined the probable cause as the pilot experiencing spatial disorientation, which resulted in a loss of control of the helicopter. A contributing factor was the dark night.
Threats, clearly visible during the day, are masked by the darkness. In fact, Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) at night is a major problem for fixed and rotor wing operations. CFIT is defined as colliding with the earth or a man-made object under the command of a qualified flight crew with an airworthy aircraft.
Due to the unique low flying operation of helicopters CFIT at night during VMC has been troublesome, especially for the aeromedical industry. According to the Air Medical Physician Association, half of all EMS accidents happen at night.
For example, on November 14, 2001 the pilot of a BO 105 LS reported that while performing a normal take-off from a non-airport shortly after midnight on a dark moonless night, he lost visual references outside the helicopter, became disoriented, and collided with terrain. He further stated that no mechanical malfunction or failure had occurred during the accident flight. The NTSB determined the probable cause was the pilot's failure to maintain adequate separation from terrain during the initial climb. Factors include spatial disorientation and a dark moonless night.
Obviously, the key to preventing these accidents is improving the pilot's ability to see obstructions–the idea behind Night Vision Goggles (NVG). In the late 1990s, the idea of using NVGs in the civilian sector was starting to evolve. By early to mid 2000, EMS operators started using NVGs in their operations. Today, the vast majority of EMS operators and law enforcement units fly their helicopters under NVGs. With the proper training, use of NVGs increases the safety margin associated with flying helicopters at night.

So the latest expansion, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, has been out for more than a month now, and I was curious what everyone´s opinion on it was. Personally, I love the set. It adds more synergy with types of cards that weren´t as popular beforehand. For example, sets like secret mage, demon warlock, taunt warrior, and beast druid/hunter, have all gotten big buffs and can be viable in the meta. I got rank 13 with secret mage and taunt warrior alone, and hope to get to legend with them. What about you?

The live Q&A with the two well-known Hearthstone devs took place yesterday and we've made a recap of the most interesting points.
First of all, if you want to watch the whole thing, the VOD can be found here (it starts at 14:10). If you prefer a shorter version, Redditor EpicMelon has made a 10-min video of everything important said. Ultimately, if you don't feel like watching videos, we've made a summary of anything worth noting from yesterday's Q&A.
Ben started talking about the new player experience, a topic he has discussed again this week. He repeated that most new players start off by playing versus A.I., some go to Casual and a minority goes to Ranked. The team has made it so that in Casual new players are exclusively matched against other new players and their MMR is kept to a 50% winrate.
One of the currently most discussed hot topics in the Hearthstone community is the Ranked ladder. The team is satisfied with how clear the current system is in how it works. However, they do realise that its grindiness and the monthly reset can be a disadvantage and feel repetitive. To counter that, they are looking into short-term increasing the amount of bonus stars players can gain. This will hopefully increase the number of players in medium and higher ranks and move veterans away from Rank 20. However, they don't want everyone to be a Legend player either, since this would devalue the ranking. New breakpoints are also an idea the Hearthstone team is considering. As far as winstreaks stopping at Rank 5 are concerned, the idea behind this is that they wanted players to get to Legend "legit"; this could change as well, though.
Moving to the topic of Arena, Dean announced that they are thinking of moving it to Standard format. Moreover, they want to try decreasing the amount of commons you get, as well as the amount of neutral Classic and Basic cards (especially minions). Some of these changes for Arena are already ready to be added to the game they are just waiting for the right time to patch them in. In early February, top 100 rankings for Arena will be published - just like the Ranked season ones. These rankings will be calculated based on highest average wins per run basis with a minimum requirement of 30 runs.
The guys had a few things to say about the current meta, too. Pirate Warrior represented 30% of the meta game near the launch of Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, while there were also a lot of Pirate Shamans and Rogues. Thankfully, these numbers have dropped as other decks (like Jade Druid and Reno decks) started surfacing. Pirate decks are slightly more popular than Team 5 would like and decks with the pirate package feel same-y. If this persists, they might take a look at Pirates. Hunters and Paladins are having a hard time at the moment because they can't keep up with the aggro pirate decks. Overall, the internal meta report shows a stability in the meta: there is only a 3% difference between the winrates of the top deck and the 11th best deck.
Lastly, there was mention of the Wild format. Ben admitted that they could do some things better for Wild. For example, it's possible that Blizzard will encourage more Wild tournaments in the future. The upcoming rotation will be interesting since Wild will have more card sets than Standard. Wild is far from dead: it's just half as popular as Standard, although Ben hasn't looked in the numbers recently. Earlier in the stream, Ben also said that the team is considering two options to keep Standard fresh: either nerfing cards or just move them to Wild.
Lastly, Ben and Dean talked about various other small topics like the possibility of reprinting cards (no actual answer given), more Hunter and Paladin talk, wording inconsistencies and rewriting old cards, how a healthy meta is defined and Team 5 itself.

Ben Brode was active on the official forums and on social media these past few days and he had a lot of interesting things to say about various hot topics. Most notably, he noted that it's possible that additional Basic and Classic set cards may be nerfed or rotated out of Standard in the future.
You probably remember that with the release of the Standard format, something less than a year ago, 12 Basic and Classic cards were nerfed. Now, Game Director Ben Brode revealed that more Basic & Classic card nerfs can happen or at least they may be rotated out of Standard. The reasoning behind this is that the team wants to keep a fresh feeling in Standard and they don't want to see the same core cards appear too frequently. That's why they are also not considering buffing underused vanilla cards, since Basic and Classic cards are already being used a lot and they want new sets to be more impactful.
Ben Brode
+ Show- Hide The goal with Standard is to keep the meta fresh for each yearly rotation. There are some benefits to keeping Basic and Classic cards in Standard: Returning players have an entry-point to the new format, and new players experience classics like "Hogger" and "Arcane Missiles" that are iconic and great introductions to the game. People take breaks from Hearthstone, and being able to jump right back in with a few cards you already own and understand makes that experience a lot better. That upside has a real downside in working directly against the big goal for Standard. It needs to feel different each year, and if Basic and Classic cards are still appearing in large densities year after year, we will not be achieving our goals for Standard.
We knew we weren't going to get there when the Year of the Kraken began, so we nerfed 12 basic/classic cards, to put more of the weight of the meta into the rotating sets. We always knew we'd have to watch the meta to see if any future changes would be needed when we got ready for the next year of Standard. If things are looking like they are going to be too same-y for that next year, we could see more nerfs, or we might rotate some additional classic cards to Wild, like we did with Old Murk Eye. No matter what, we're committed to making Standard fresh and exciting each new year. (source)
Are you guys considering, besides nerfs, implementing buffs for underused vanilla cards?
Given the goal of Standard is to keep the game fresh each year, it's important to keep a lot of the power of the cards in the expansions, and not in the basic and classic sets. It's not clear what that balance of power should look like (is it ~10 cards from the basic and classic sets on average?), but we're currently skewed so high towards basic and classic cards in decks, that we are at high risk for 'samey-ness' as the years change in Standard. Buffing Basic/Classic cards *increases* that risk. If the goal is to get more cool cards into the meta, just releasing awesome new cards in expansions should make an impact there, and still keep Standard fresh. (source)
Obviously, this comment caused a lot of reactions and Ben took to Reddit (specifically this thread) and Twitter, where he answered various questions. A brief summary of his responses is that the Basic set is currently the most powerful in the game (source), while the team intends to keep the vanilla set unchanged (the term used was 'evergreen' - source). Ben repeated that the team's intention behind any future Basic and Classic card nerfs or changes is to keep Standard format fresh and "less same-y". A difficult question was posed to the community: would they prefer the affected vanilla cards to be nerfed, rotated out of Standard format or remain as they are, even if it results in a staler meta?
On the same Reddit thread, Brode also talked about why the Charge nerf was necessary due to the Grimy Goons synergy and how new/F2P players are currently still able to reach Legend rank - something that he expects to keep happening in the future as well.
Ben Brode
+ Show- Hide [...] We nerfed Charge (the spell) because we knew the upcoming Grimy Goons mechanic in combination with Enraged Worgen and Charge was not really fair or fun. There have always been F2P players at Legend, and there have continued to be since that change. (source) Ben Brode
+ Show- Hide We did this in 2016 when we nerfed 12 classic cards and it made a huge difference in how much the meta was able to change with the release of Old Gods (instead of just continuing to be Druid Combo). New players were able to reach legend without spending money after that change, and I expect that will be continue to be true if we change a few more cards in 2017. (source) On a somewhat relevant topic, with the end of the Year of the Kraken the end of Reno Jackson is also approaching. Ben excluded the possibility of this game-changing card making it into the Classic set - once again the reason being "keeping the meta fresh".
Placeholder for tweet 817625802116214784 For consistency's sake, I've also included two Brode blue posts from last week. In the first one, he talks about the new player experience and how it still needs more work. For example. the climb from the introductory quests to actually playing the game feels steep, while getting into Ranked is also difficult. However, for their first games new players actually play in a seperate matchmaking pool designed to match new players with each other. There has also been a 15% increase in new player winrates on Casual.
Ben Brode
+ Show- Hide Hey there! We agree that the new player experience needs more work. We've been tweaking it for years and have seen significant increases in retention among new players since launch. Most new players start playing against the AI and then take on other players in Casual. The Casual matchmaker has gone through a lot of iteration and new player winrates have increased by ~15%.
Ranked is a different story. Ranked is becoming more difficult for new players over time. I spoke about some of the challenges we are currently facing with our ladder system before I left for paternity leave here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/58pxgt/ben_brode_confirms_the_2_game_win_streak_is_not/
Something you may not realize is that new players actually play in a seperate matchmaking pool for their first several sessions. In Casual, we match them entirely against other brand new players with similarly-sized collections.
That all said, we think the introductory missions up through Illidan feel pretty good, and after that it still feels like a bit of a cliff. It's definitely something we're aware of. Thanks for your feedback, and for the feedback of everyone else who's been chiming in on this over the last few months.
(source) Lastly, Ben made an interesting post about another community hot topic: the ladder system.
Ben Brode
+ Show- Hide [...] We have been discussing the ladder system a lot recently - we're not 100% happy with it.
Here are some things we are currently discussing:
Rank 18 players are higher ranked than 50% of HS players. That number doesn't make you feel like you are in the top 50%, and that's a missed opportunity. We try and counter this by telling you all over the place what the mapping is to the rest of the population, but it'd be better if expectations and reality matched here.
We've received feedback that the last-minute jostling for high Legend ranks at the end of a season doesn't feel all that great.
We've received feedback that the ladder can feel like a grind.
We are reanalyzing the number of ranks, the number of stars per rank, the number of bonus stars given out at the start of the season, and other parts of the system.
We are developing simulation systems that let us predict what changes to the ladder would do to the population curve. If we inflate too many stars, the whole population ends up in the Legend bucket and while that might feel great for a single month, the entire system falls apart eventually. People who played waaaay back may remember when "3-star master" was the pinnacle of achievement, and it meant nothing because so many people ended up in that bucket. With better simulation tools, we are planning on trying a lot of crazy things. Iteration is important in design, and getting the tools to iterate quickly is very important.
Something I want to emphasize is that while I think we can improve the ladder, the metric for that improvement isn't necessarily any one player's individual rank increasing. Players want the better rewards (and prestige) associated with high ranks, or the Legend card back, so any change we make that increases the chances of those are likely to be perceived as "good", at least for the short term. But part of what makes the ranked ladder compelling is that exists to rank players. If you want to see how you stack up, ranked is the place to do it. So while some inflation might improve the experience, we need to be careful and make sure we end up with a system that makes people feel rewarded for increases in personal skill or for finding a new deck that breaks the meta.

Since I talk like an ogre I can as well practice my 3D skills and play around with the hearthstone logo. Here is a quick render I made this morning. Maybe I will do some more, wallpaper, t-shirt print or other stuff... I don't know
I will probably also just play some Hearthstone for myself. If I am better I will maybe do a "silent" stream tonight! :-D Or at least keep the conversation to a minimum.
See you around guys and have a good day!

"At Anderson Hardwood, we believe in building on the strengths that Shaw offers while also remaining true to our roots, which is our time-honored legacy of beautiful, quality and sustainable hardwoods that have been made in the U.S.A.," Mollie Surratt, director of marketing at Anderson said.
Although its marketing team is tied into Shaw's residential marketing team, both companies work independently, according to Surratt, to best meet the needs of its customers. Anderson's website, social media presence and all of its marketing materials are uniquely Anderson, she said.
Another area special to the company is its "Why Anderson" story, which is supported by the Why Anderson brochure, the Why Anderson video and the company's website. The message focuses on seven pillars, including: History of innovation; history of made in America; style and design leadership; installation and warranties; legacy of sustainability; handcraftsmanship; service; and, support.
Anderson's strength and talent lies in its management team as well as its products, merchandising and marketing programs, explained Surratt. "Some of the Anderson team only serves the Anderson brand and others are tied back into the Shaw hard surfaces team, and there are benefits to all of these roles. We have a great team work ethic and positive work environment. We all feel a great sense of pride in contributing to this American-rooted company," Surratt said.
Rick Knowles, Anderson's vice president of sales, believes that Anderson's strength comes from the loyalty of its customers.
"Anderson Hardwood is a brand with a strong following both within the industry and with consumers. It's a brand that is rooted in the American dream and has set the standard of excellence in the hardwood industry. It's vital that Anderson continues to grow and strengthen the legacy of the brand through innovative product, promotion, sustainability initiatives, quality and service. We're committed to the future success of the brand," he said.
The company also has strength in its distribution network. "Anderson is committed to our distributor customers and their business needs. We are continuously gaining feedback from our customers on all aspects of our business, product, displays, marketing, etc.," said Surratt.
Anderson introduced the first engineered hardwood floor with aluminum oxide, offered Lee Safrit, Anderson Midwest regional sales manager, a product that has resonated with retailers. "As far as domestically produced product goes, the Anderson brand is known as the Cadillac or Rolex brand. Not everyone carries Anderson, and for a retailer, it's very important to not have the same brand as everyone down the street," said Safrit. "The Anderson brand is increasingly popular with America's largest independent retailers and successfully serviced through dedicated local distributors with skilled representation. We have national and international salespeople servicing and bringing value to our distributors and Anderson Preferred Partners. Anderson has all the components of being a stand-alone brand utilizing the organizational strengths of Shaw, our parent company."

The following year, the group issued Corridos Time, Temporada 1: Soy a Parrandero, that included various narcocorridos including "El Comandante Metro 3" (about late Gulf Cartel drug lord Samuel Flores Borrego), "Julián Pérez" recounting the story from the 2011 film Solvando de Soldado Perez, and "El Shaka" the theme from the popular Mexican television series of the same name. The set placed high on airplay charts and did well in sales, landing well inside the Top 200. They group also released a compilation of love songs in 2014 entitled Perdóname Mi Amor.

Chaspie,It's Italian sausage. Here is the link to the recipe.http://mobile.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/09/juicy-sweet-or-hot-italian-sausage.html
Id have to admit when I saw the pic of the whole pie I was like damn that looks good but then when I scrolled down and saw the pic of the two slices I began drooling. Perfect color and cheese ratio.The crust looks awesome...Anything you did special in mixing?Is that a 18 inch?

This isn't going to be a shit-talking thread. That would be too easy. I am wondering if you guys see the same thing in Brian Gregory that I see. A guy who can recruit, can reasonably manage in-game situations, but is AWFUL at developing his players.
Chris Wright is the microcosm, but not the entirety of the problem. Kid came in as a raw, athletic freak who had huge upside. He leaves as a raw, athletic freak. How can a guy spend four years at a mid to high major D-1 school without getting better? His footwork today was terrible. But it's only half his fault. Some of his failure to develop falls at the feet of Brian Gregory. It has to. Right?

BIOS update is available here: ftp://ftp-usa.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/in932x//m622a11.zip
This update fixes several issues and made overclocking more stable for me.

Cool, I'll check it out, and if I can afford some small measure of time, probablly run a few benchmarks to see what performance advantages this new BIOS brings to this Abit board.
Thanks for the heads up:)

Just wondering if having two sli bridges between two 8800s results in a performance increase?
I have read that it is not supported but this author feels that it makes a difference?
Thank you

During the testing phase for the Abit IN9 32X-Max motherboard, I performed no SLI tests. The review was simply to gauge gauge the performance aspects of the board itself and not how it ran with a dual graphics set-up. Personally, I haven't read anything about how G80 SLI works on the Nvidia 680i chipset based boards. But if you look at the Alienware site (we all know who they are), they do sell a desktop rig that uses a 680i based board and dual 8800 graphics cards. So it must give some performance increase. In the past, it's been found that the performance benefits from dual G70 based Nvidia cards is noticeable, but in most cases, negligible. It does help though, and with proper tweaking and tuning/overclocking in the BIOS (both the motherboard BIOS and graphics cards BIOS) you could increase SLI graphics performance by up to 70%. Because the G80 GPU is relatively new, it will take a few subsequent driver/firmware revisions to facilitate better SLI performance. Of course, there's always the cost versus performance ratio. But if you have the cash, a 680i G80 SLI rig could yeil some impressive frame rates. Just be prepered to spen a couple of solid days tweaking it. And be prepered to jump on any new Nforce driver releases the second they appear. On a side note, I am going to be building a 680i based G80 SLI based system in the coming months. It's goin g to be my own personal rig (though I don't really game anymore), and I will probably be profiling it on Neoseeker. It's going to take time and money. As for the specific parts I'll be using and what I'll be doing, well, that's a secret.
Anonymous Apr 2, 07
I would really like to see that in a User System thread^_^
jmicahg Apr 3, 07
Well, my new 680i rig is still under development. It'll be a little while before the first electrons start flowing. Granted though, if it turns out to be a power house machine, I'll probablly write a Neoseeker review for it and start a forum thread for discussion. I have no definite due date in mind, so just keep on checking the Neoseeker site and the forums.

Style over substance won't solve the problem
President Obama came to Minnesota on Monday to tout his plans to reduce gun violence, such as school shootings. We'd like to give the president the benefit of the doubt, but his specific proposals are superficial and uninspiring.
Consider what he is saying. He wants to ban "military-style assault weapons." What are those, exactly? They are semi-automatic rifles. Would all semi-automatic rifles be banned? No. So the point is?
Obama also wants to limit the capacity of magazines to 10 rounds. A?magazine holds bullets. The magazine is put into the gun to load it. The ostensible object of limiting magazine capacity is to limit the damage a shooter can do. Will it? No. Because there is no limit on the number of magazines a person can own.
The president also supports "universal background checks" on gun buyers. This is intended to weed out the mentally ill and criminals from buying guns. Because we all know that people who plan to commit violent acts with guns first drop by their neighborhood gun store, right? Because they would never imagine stealing a gun or making an illicit buy?
But the president is trying to do something, right? Doesn't he deserve credit? Again, no. What he is doing is wasting time and effort, starting a political fight. Even if he wins – he won't – his proposals would be ineffective.
Are we suggesting the president go farther, that he ban more weapons and equipment, that he intrude further into the rights of law-abiding citizens? No. Prohibitions will spark lawlessness. Gun-running, gang wars, etc. And those prohibitions would disarm law-abiding citizens who would still face criminals, or tyrants.
What's the answer? When it comes to school shootings, as we have said before:?Let schools solve the problem, as they see fit. Let parents exert influence on the schools. Seeing national leaders rushing around as if they can be effective is simply disheartening.

David Akers (1975/88): The 1909-D is one of the most underrated issues of the series, and it is actually one of the rarest in an absolute sense. Even in MS-60 this issue is very rare and in MS-63 or MS-64 condition, it can be located only with great difficulty. I have seen approximately eight to 10 true gems, with the possibly the finest being the two MS-65+ specimens that are now in my personal collection, although the example owned by a prominent Eastern collector and the lustrous Norweb specimen are essentially their equal. The Eliasberg coin now owned by Dr. Steven Duckor is another gem as is a piece I purchased in 1986 from dealer Jay Miller and sold to Dr. Thaine Price.
The 1909-D is nearly always sharply struck and is usually frosty with very finely granular surfaces, although some specimens are quite satiny. The color is typically light orange or coppery with highlights of greenish gold. The lustre is generally only average or slightly below average for the series; one rarely sees a radiantly lustrous 1909-D, or even one with as much lustre as a typical 1908-D With Motto, although a few (cf. the Norweb specimen) do have excellent lustre.
Dr. Thaine Price - David Akers 5/1998:49, $71,500 - Heritage 1/1999:8290, unsold - Phillip H. Morse Collection - Heritage 11/2005:6505 (as PCGS 06554667), $138,000 - subsequently graded PCGS MS67 06666116 - Simpson Collection
Dr. and Mrs. Steven Duckor - Heritage 2/2007:4820, $51,750
Kutasi Collection - Heritage 1/2007:3168, $48,875

Finally the fight I've been waiting for since the Dream/Strikeforce marriage was announced. Nick Diaz vs. Marius Zaromskis for the vacant WW championship. Diaz is one of my two favorite fighters in the world. And he has my favorite attitude. Namely, fight anybody at any weight on any notice. If you have Showtime, watch this fight.
Also a sideshow matchup of Herschel Walker vs. whatever can they put in there for him to crush. I don't know about debuting a 47 year old man. But the guy is still in peak physical condition. So we'll see.

Jack Lenor Larsen on the Power of Fabric
"This was a new start," says Kim Hersov of the London home she moved into a couple of years ago with her two sons from a previous marriage, her new partner, artist Barry Reigate, his teenage daughter, and the young son they had together. But "new" for Hersov is a far cry from the radical shift in decor that often accompanies dramatic life changes. Rather than jettisoning the past and everything associated with it, Hersov filled the house with memory-laden belongings, yet still managed to create a setting that feels completely fresh. It helped that Hersov, editor-at-large for Harper's Bazaar UK, worked with interior designer Hubert Zandberg, who is also a dear friend (he is the godfather of her and Reigate's child). They share a passion for flea-market shopping and eclectic finds. "Hubert can second-guess me," says Hersov. They had worked together on her previous home, which she describes as "proper," and he calls "quite sophisticated, grown-up, and very grand."
Hersov says of that earlier phase in her life, "A little bit of it was playing house. Like a lot of my friends, I got married really young—and you do the things you think you're supposed to do. Then you grow into yourself."
So when it came to designing the new place, Zandberg wanted to reflect the fact that Hersov has become "a bit of a rock chick," as he puts it. "She's still very elegant, but her style has developed." So he situated beloved old pieces in unexpected settings, creating eccentric juxtapositions. A mismatched collection of silver candlesticks is now clustered on a table in the dining area, which lies in a part of the house that has a raw, industrial feeling. A pair of chinoiserie demilune tables became bathroom vanities. And a hand-painted screen is now displayed in a sitting room filled with Reigate's edgy, Pop Art drawings. "That was a lovely screen, and we wanted to reuse it," says Zandberg. "In Kim's previous house, it just blended into the whole rest of the grand aesthetic perfection. But here, it gets a voice. It starts to become witty, it starts to become exotic. It gets a new personality."

Mellanox, Allot, Facebook, Apple: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Mellanox(MLNX) was a big loser in premarket trading on Thursday after the server and storage specialist lowered its fourth-quarter outlook.
In a statement released after market close Wednesday, Mellanox said that it expects fourth-quarter revenue between $119 million and $121 million, below its previous guidance of $145 million to $150 million.
Investors responded negatively to the reduced outlook, pushing the company's shares down 18.78% to $49.70 in premarket trading. Mellanox's stock closed up 3.05% during the first day of 2013 trading on Wednesday.
"The shortfall is primarily the result of a weaker demand environment, challenging macroeconomic conditions, and a technical issue associated with FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand cabling which caused approximately $20 million of FDR deployments to be delayed," explained Mellanox, in a statement.
Mellanox added that the cabling issue has been resolved and is not expected to impact revenue in the future.
The company expects annual revenue of $500 million, up from $259 million in 2011.
Allot Communications(ALLT) was another laggard, tumbling 6.51% to $17.09 on Thursday. The networking specialist's shares ended Wednesday's session up 2.58%.
Facebook(FB) shares dipped 0.61% to $27.83 before market open on Thursday, after gaining 5.19% on Wednesday as tech stocks were lifted by the deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff.
Apple(AAPL) shares slipped 0.56% to $545.97 in premarket trading, after closing up 3.17% on Wednesday.
HP(HPQ) shares were off 0.87% at $14.89 on Thursday, despite rising 5.4% during Wednesday trading.
Microsoft(MSFT) shares, which gained 3.41% on Wednesday, were off 0.25% at $27.55 in premarket trading.
Shares of networking giant Cisco(CSCO) , however, gained 0.49% to reach $20.44 before market open, after gaining 3.51% on Wednesday.
Chinese Internet giant SINA(SINA) was another gainer, rising 0.63% to $52.60, while daily deals site Groupon(GRPN) gained 0.6% to $4.99.
Online travel specialist Priceline(PCLN) rose 1.74% to $649.50 before market open.

With whom you share all your secrets and relish every moment of your life. The one who surprises you unexpectedly and bestows you with fruitfulness. Santa is all about spreading joy, love, peace and heart warming wishes. The person who you look upon with a positive perspective and wish the best for them till eternity!
Life lived with a purpose and letting no persuasive action alter it, leads to your destiny. Be it your health, wealth, happiness or any other element, can come in the check-list of your wishes. You do understand and know better than anybody else, what you wish to become or would like to manifest for yourself. Yes, everybody in life's race is searching for paths to fulfill their wishes. The things you discern to be the best and yearn for it until you achieve it. It is impossible to find anybody who doesn't have his/her heart set on something. You are obstinate and persistent to clinch something you have a yen for!

GOP hopeful goes on offensive with Seifert as target
MARSHALL – The race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination runs six lanes wide, but if you ask the Dave Thompson campaign, two favorites have already emerged.
In an email sent out Monday, the Thompson campaign said Marty Seifert and Thompson – Nos. 1-2, respectively, in this month's straw poll – are the top two candidates vying for the GOP endorsement in May. But the email did more than spell out the race's supposed frontrunners. It also went on the offensive against Seifert, saying the former legislator's claim that he entered the race for governor in November "rings hollow when one considers that he has been running for governor since 2009, and was actively seeking support for 2014 as early as July of this year."
Seifert disputed that statement Monday, pointing out that he was the lead for Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center's Building Hope fundraising campaign that ran for eight months in 2013 – a position he would've had a hard time holding down had he been mixing politics with his career.
"If you consider I was working 50 hours or more a week helping get the cancer center built, I would say that's not very accurate," Seifert said in response to Thompson's allegation that he was never really out of the political spotlight since running in 2010. "Frankly, I took a hiatus from politics from when I left the Legislature in 2010 all the way until announcing my bid for governor. Did I check in with people periodically now and then? Sure, but we had $6 in our campaign account when we got started."
"Marty has kind of indicated he just recently got in the game, almost like, 'aw shucks, I announced I'm running for governor in November and look how quickly my campaign built steam,'" said Thompson, who calls Seifert a "formidable opponent" and "very good" campaigner. "He was calling people for support back in July, I know that, and that's fine, but it wasn't like there was no activity until November. This is something that has been a long-term pursuit of his and to say this has all happened since November, that just isn't accurate."
The email also says Seifert is moving in the wrong direction, comparing straw polls in 2010 and this year. It said he brought in more than 50 percent of the vote in a seven-way race in 2010, while garnering just 28 percent this year.
And in another reference to 2010, Thompson, a current state senator from Lakeville, called Seifert out by claiming his campaign four years ago was a "divisive" one that did "horrendous damage to the eventual Republican nominee."
Seifert won last week's straw poll with 28 percent of the vote, just ahead of Thompson's 25 percent. Jeff Johnson was a distant third at 17 percent. In that regard, it could be considered a two-man race, but Seifert doesn't see it that way at all.
"It's not a two-man race; there are still a number of very good, credible candidates who are running," Seifert said. "I think it does a disservice to the other candidates to call it a two-man race."
Thompson, like Seifert, didn't go so far as to proclaim it a two-man race Monday despite what the straw poll indicates.
"There's an old saying in golf that says you can't win the Masters on Thursday and Friday but you can lose it, and I think the key to these straw polls is that if you finish poorly or underperform expectations it can be very harmful to your campaign," Thompson said. "You certainly can't win an election through a straw poll. I think the results are very good news for the Thompson and Seifert campaigns, but I'm not here to proclaim anybody out of this thing. I would not count anybody out."
The email also says both Seifert and Thompson performed well on their "home turf," but that Thompson has expanded his base into new areas of the state, despite having never appeared on a statewide ballot before caucus night.
Seifert said he doesn't get too worked up about political memos like the one the Thompson campaign put out Monday and calls the race "very fluid."

Here's how RW members rated this race (41 votes).
In short: Not the best scenery, but flat and fast.Date of review: September 11, 2013
In short: Expensive but pb potentialIn full: For late on the day entrance fee of £15, this was steep considering all you get is a medal and a small drink and one water station. Even prior booking was £12 aff and £14 non-aff. Roads are quick and its two laps so a pd potential.Date of review: September 9, 2013
Date of review: September 8, 2013
In short: A tidy race but as mentioned need signage to start, drove 60 mins to Melksham then 20 mins looking for race.Date of review: February 21, 2013
In short: Splashy speedy outingIn full: Great course, and modest numbers allow you to get straight into the race even if you start in the back half. Some of the best marshalling I've encountered. Lack of directional signs to venue a big mistake, especially on a wet day with an early start.Date of review: February 16, 2013
In short: a fast course - i got a pb! but there is a hilly mile coming out of lacock. Bit expensive but worth it for a pb. Needs signposts from the main car parks in melksham-i thought i'd miss the start!Date of review: February 13, 2013
In short: Nice introduction to a 10 mile race for a first timer.In full: Despite the wet and windy weather the marshalls were very cheery, well placed on a well marked out course. Only criticism was lack of directional signs as to where the event was upon entering Melksham.Date of review: February 12, 2013
In short: Bring your wellies.In full: Despite the bad weather and surface water the course is very fast just missed out on a distance PB by 9 seconds cant fault the marshal's standing on the corners in the driving rain they certainly earned a hot cuppa, did noticed in the results that two runners were disqualified and i guess for using music players of some sort they were told and signs were around that this would happen if caught this is the first race that I have been in that this as happened. Date of review: February 11, 2013
In short: Really enjoyed despite the weather, great encouragement from the marshals, just a bit expensive for a cup and bottle of water.Date of review: February 10, 2013
In short: Good splashy run around the pretty village of Lacock.Date of review: February 10, 2013

Conan O'Brien vs The G ManTuesday, May 11th, 2010
Now where was I? Sorry about the two months off. Ironically, all my spare time got consumed by a couple of heavy-duty presentations. You always underestimate how long it takes to develop a completely new presentation, unless you're knocking out a quick bullet point show, and that would leave us open to charges of hypocrisy.
The most complex of the two shows, a game show at the MEA national conference at Melbourne Convention Centre, was one of the most enjoyable presentations I've done in years, thanks to a brilliant panel of contestants. I believe MEA are working their way through the permission maze to get it up on line permanently, so we'll link it up then.
In the meantime here's a gallery of show shots, if you're interested in seeing some of the most respected figures in the event industry in leopard skin cat masks feeding each other strange cocktail foods.
Meanwhile, for those of you who've sat through as many IT industry on-stage conference chat sessions as we have, here's a treat for you. The newly-free Conan O'Brien - legally constrained from being funny on any medium except Twitter - on stage at a Google event, toying with eager senior Google boss Vic Gundotra like a tiger with a ball of string.
O'Brien ignores the standard convention of being polite about the client and the product - "You guys are so power-mad now…".
As a result, it's probably the funniest conference presentation you'll see. It's 48 minutes, but worth it. Watch it at home instead of whatever classic repeats your local network is serving up.
By the way, doesn't the bearded Conan look like Burger King's spooky King mascot?

More on events of 1862
To the editor:
In response to Jason Mack's letter:
Re: the use of "we." I had assumed that it was clear from the context of my editorial that I was speaking as one who lost family members during the war, and did not presume to speak for all settlers involved.
You have fallen into your own trap about "us vs. them" in your defense of the Indians. The point of my letter was not to deny the suffering of the Dakota in Minnesota. You don't have to defend them to me. I agree that the voices of the Dakota had been stifled too long. The point I was trying to make is that the settlers were victims as well and mention of their suffering should always be included in any commemorative events. Remembering the settlers does not diminish the suffering of the Dakota. The two are not mutually exclusive, quite the contrary. We are inextricably linked. You can't memorialize one with recognizing the other.
I also must take exception to your term "inaccurate notions." Certainly, there is room for opinion and debate on this subject, but realities, not "notions," were the basis of my argument. I can back up my statements with documented fact, not sweeping generalizations that detract from the topic.
Of course there are more than two sides to a war. I decided to simplify for ease of illustration, to emphasize that there was more than ONE side.
Taoyateduta was indeed hesitant to lead the Dakota, as he knew it would eventually be a hopeless cause. Sitting in a tipi outside his frame house, he called the members of the soldier's lodge "fools" and "little children" but he finished by saying "Taoyateduta is no coward. He will die with you." (from: Through Dakota Eyes, Narrative Accounts of the Minnesota Indian War of 1862, edited by Gary Anderson and Alan Woolworth, Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1988, pp.12-13) And so, reluctant or not, he led them to war on a largely unarmed populace.
Regarding the Indian "distaste" for American-style farming: Wambditanka, one of the members of the soldier's lodge, stated: "Little Crow was always blamed for the part he took in the sale [the 1858 sale of the northern bank of the Minnesota River as a consequence of Inkpaduta's raid]. It caused us all to move to the south side of the river, where there was very little game, and many of our people, under the treaty, were induced to give up the old life and go to work like white men, which was very distasteful to many… the Indians did not know how to do that, and did not want to, anyway" (ibid, p. 23) In reference to the soldier's lodge, it is important to note that "the lodge was dominated by hunters, and it refused admittance to farmer Indians."(Ibid, p. 13)
Care was indeed taken in bringing up incendiary terms such as "terrorism" and "genocide." They were discussion points. Just because the later Indian policies of the government could be described as such, doesn't mean that the Indians were innocent of such atrocities. Taking war to a largely unarmed populace and engaging in acts of brutality in order to evoke fear is a definition of terrorism.
Your vague "illegal and immoral things" that you attributed to the government shows that the settlers were victims just as much as the Dakota. You missed my emphasis on the fact that it was the government, not the settlers, who instigated the treaties, made the state legal for settlement, delayed payments, invoked clauses to deny treaty rights, and allowed traders and former traders such as Ramsey and Sibley to get away with murder, literally. If anything, consideration should be given to removing the names of such men from the names of our cities, townships and counties.
The way I see it, we differ on one main point of opinion. You believe that the Indians were victims of governmental policies, and that this unfair treatment of the Indians justified the deaths of over 600 settlers. I do not. I believe that in 1862, the settlers were as much victims as the Indians and should be included equitably in any commemoration of the US-Dakota War. We have a right to our opinions, but the facts remain about how the Dakota brought war to the area. You must be careful when you try to justify all that happened to the settlers as proper in light of a retrospective analysis of history.
As I had stated in my original letter, most of this is academic exercise. In 2013, "we," and I think I can use it inclusively, all live here, for better or for worse. We live in the state of Minnesota, whose name is a reminder of its origins, but we cannot undo the past, ignore or rewrite distasteful parts of history, or obscure facts with hindsight. Again, "we" should accept this terrible dark chapter in our history for what is was and remember ALL those who were victims of this war, every time the story is told.

About the Author: Jay Raman is Acting Public Affairs Officer at U.S. Embassy Guatemala City in Guatemala.
As in many countries, violence against women is a significant problem in Guatemala. In 2009, the Guatemalan Attorney General's office reported that it received nearly 32,000 complaints of violence against women for the year. Approximately 700 women were murdered -- almost two per day in a country of only 14 million. And those shocking figures don't take into account the number of unreported cases of violence or the collateral effects that domestic violence has on children and other family members.
Clearly violence against women is a very serious problem, with serious consequences, and the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala is working very closely with governmental, non-governmental, and international partners to help raise awareness of the issue, to provide services to victims and their families, and to ensure that perpetrators of violence are punished in accordance with the law.
On November 25, the Embassy joined with many others around the world to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (IDEVAW) and to observe the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence, which runs from November 25 through December 11. Fighting domestic violence is a priority every day, but these two events offer an opportunity to reflect on the problem and to redouble our efforts to promote a world free of domestic violence.
To "kickoff" our observance of these two important events, Ambassador Stephen McFarland joined with his counterpart from the British Embassy at a soccer match to promote a campaign entitled "Breaking the Cycle," which is designed to raise awareness of domestic violence. The two ambassadors took the field at halftime of the annual "Classic" match between the two top Guatemala City teams and tried to stop penalty kicks from fans selected from the crowd. Discretion prohibits me from commenting on the success of their efforts on the field, but I can say that the joint appearance generated a significant amount of media coverage, which brought attention to domestic violence in a new and meaningful way.
A couple of days later, Ambassador McFarland attended a public event to present a $100,000 donation to an amazing NGO, called the Survivors Foundation, which offers counseling and advocacy services to women who have been affected by violence. Survivors Foundation (Fundación Sobrevivientes in Spanish) was started by domestic violence survivor Norma Cruz, who was honored as an International Woman of Courage by Secretary Clinton in 2009. The name of the foundation alone speaks volumes. Most women who suffer domestic abuse are "survivors," not victims. And even in cases involving death -- which are all too common -- there are almost always survivors left behind who suffer the consequences.
The $100,000 donation, which was awarded through a competition sponsored by the State Department's Office of Global Women's Issues, will help the organization to provide additional services to victims to help them recover from the trauma of violence, and in some instances to pursue cases through Guatemala's justice system. The Ambassador was joined at the public event by Norma Cruz and by two extraordinarily brave women who have been helped by the Survivor's Foundation.
One of these women, Aura Suruy, suffered an unimaginable tragedy when her three daughters were kidnapped, tortured, and killed in 2008 while on their way to school. With the help of the Survivors Foundation, Suruy dedicated herself to bringing the criminals to justice, despite long odds and even death threats. Her hard work paid off earlier this year when, with Ambassador McFarland in the audience, the three defendants were each sentenced to 163 years in prison -- a landmark verdict for a shocking crime. At the donation ceremony at the Survivors Foundation Suruy acknowledged that the verdict won't bring her daughters back, but she was proud that her case would be a step forward for the cause of justice in Guatemala.
In addition to these two events, in early December the Public Affairs Section invited an expert from the United States to offer trainings on the subject of Trafficking in Persons (TIP) -- a serious problem that overlaps with violence against women. Guatemala was identified in the 2010 State Department report on TIP as a "source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically sexual servitude and forced labor." Guatemala was placed on the Department of State's Watch List for TIP and faces the possibility of losing most U.S. government aid if it does not improve in this area.
In September, a group of key Guatemalan government officials and anti-TIP activists traveled to the United States as part of an Embassy-sponsored program to introduce them to new ideas to combat TIP and to provide services to victims. During this multi-city visit the group met with Erie County, NY, deputy sheriff Elizabeth Fildes, who has been recognized for her efforts to combat human trafficking in her county. Building on the visit to New York, Deputy Fildes accepted an invitation from the Embassy to travel to Guatemala for a week-long series of presentations, lecture, and workshops to help build local capacity to fight TIP.
Deputy Fildes's visit included a visit to the state university to speak with law students, discussions with key government officials, and workshops for colleagues from law enforcement. The visit concluded with a training session for media representatives on how U.S. police work with the media to report effectively on TIP without causing additional harm to trafficking victims. Fildes's visit is a great example of the value of Department of State speaker programs, where U.S. experts have the opportunity to influence foreign counterparts on issues of vital importance.
Although the 2010 IDEVAW and the 16 Days of Activism are coming to a close, the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala is as committed as ever to eliminating violence against women in Guatemala. We will continue to do our best to look for innovative ways address the issue of violence against women and to encourage the Guatemalan authorities to aggressively prevent these crimes, to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators, and to provide effective services to the survivors.

Due to inclement weather the College will have a delayed opening. The College will open at 10am today. Please drive safely.
Selections from the Hampshire College
Permanent Collection
July 18-August 15, 2008
Hampshire College is pleased to exhibit Selections from the Hampshire College Permanent Collection in its Main Gallery through August 15th,
2008.The permanent collection at Hampshire College is a small and eclectic group of objects, most of which were donated in the early years of the institution (1970s) by founding donors.
Hampshire has never had an acquisitions fund for the purchase of art, so almost everything in the collection was a donated gift to the college; hence, there are many pieces that reflect the period of the 60s-70s, when Hampshire was new.
The Op-Art period is represented by four large silkscreen prints by Richard Anuszkiewicz; and there are two wall sculptures by Paul Zelanski, examples of his molded resin studies of color and space; and an etched glass cube by Larry Bell.
There are prints by Man Ray, watercolors by Leonard Baskin, photographs by Hampshire Professor Emeritus Jerome Liebling, and paintings and works on paper by various twentieth-century artists.
There is also a selection of Ashanti gold weights which are rarely displayed. These are tiny sculpted objects, some abstract forms and some representational, which were used to measure gold dust, which was currency in 18th and 19th century Africa.

The bolt-action rifle was forever changed with the introduction of the Browning X-Bolt. The X-Bolt builds on the proven successes of past Browning rifles, and adds numerous improvements that place the X-Bolt at the top of any side by side comparison. Most notable is an adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger system that offers the best feel on any Browning rifle ever. A bolt unlock button works with the top-tang safety to offer enhanced safety while unloading. Styling features offer more compact dimensions for a smaller, quicker, sleeker look and feel, and also trims weight. To ensure the stability of optics, scope bases are attached to the receiver using four screws per base.
