After a few projects, from corsair 800D to Lian Li-A05NB, to Silverstone TJ 07 murdermod style
and finally to bitfenix prodigy, and honestly I am not that contented. And since my family
member require a small pc for home theater, i figure i could strip down my prodigy (WHITE
MINI), and build a new one for myself and giving it the itx to my family. I had always start
modding internally from a case, this time will be slightly different. A full aluminium case will be
It was my dream case since the moment i was in love in pc modding, but is not brave enough
to stumble on that region. Well now i would be giving it a try, hopefully the result will turn out
great in my and your perspective. Since i had an extra motherboard lying around, might as well
use that one, and in the process of thinking to do some modification to the motherboard as
well, however, that will only be slight modification. This project however, will be a long term
project, as lots of modification is needed, thus, i would prefer not to rush things over. And
another reason of setting this as a longer term project is due to insufficient of fund, unless
there are sponsors :P. So here end my introduction.

First picture of the case ~~~
Phew, finally squeezed some time for a few photos =) Got myself a cheapo cooler master
casing. elite 430. Well i got it quite cheap.
Then, I start tearing apart.
Got this
The rest of the case parts of course will be utilized to the fullest, except the front panel that is.

ok, it took me more than a week or 2 to completely disassemble the whole thing, was too lazy,
sluggish :P basically its powermac G5 is divided into inner and outer cage. a quick snap shot of
inner cage,
Did soome work over the weekend, some cutting in fact. This stage now focus on creating a
custom back plate. The goal here is to achieve a seamless backplate design. Taking out
whatever tools i have:
Cutting commencing.
Whatever work left after the cut is filing, which will be done later. Next stage will focus on
creating a backplate and mounting. I'm taking my sweet time, going slow and steady,

Finished some rough filing on the inner case of power mac G5
The aim of this stage is to mount the back panel roughly this way:
Did some measurement and sample cut out:
Actual aluminium plate cut out and took long long time for filing and trimming down to ensure tight fit.

Where I stayed
Typical, the only day so far of our trip where it totally pissed down! - oh well it is November after all, and we have had it pretty well good so far with the weather.
So with the crappy hotel in mind (which we canceled the second night) and the crappy rain, we decided not to stay the extra day in Chicago, so we did the typical true Fuglie style of driving round the city ourselves and taking the pictures on the fly.
I would still like to come back here and probably for 3 days or so to properly visit the city, and in the summer too. It was a shame.
Despite the advice given by the hotel receptionist not to drive through the city, I thought yeah whatever,I am BRITISH don't you know!!!
So after a quick spin around the city, we headed off to an unplanned stop because we was just dog tired again today, so we stopped at the Best Western hotel in Howe, which is a small Hamish county in the state of Indiana. - A room is fantastic, nice whirlpool in it!
We had supper at the adjacent Chinese restaurant, we had a lovely curry, and the bottle of Bud was $1 a bottle! yes that's right for those in BC who are reading this! $1.00 - it was on offer but the regular price is $3 - man this place is so cheap, so glad we are doing this trip through the US than Canada.
OK, so we are having a lie in tomorrow, cause we want to use the whirlpool when we get up! lol
Then we heading off to somewhere in New York state, but not the big apple, it is just New York state.
Good night.

Book by: Sambelini
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - Villainous
I'm not a bad person. Despite any rumours or stories circulating, I can assure you I'm not nearly so bad as they sound. Sure, I live deep in the Darkwood, hidden in mystic shadows and magic mists.
So what if I prefer to remain shrouded in mystery, lost to the world? I'm none of its business anyway.
My story begins herein, surrounded by things like me, I suppose. Not evil, just misunderstood. My homely Ruins. A place to cook up a new recipe for rain or fashion a fresh species of frog. Perhaps you've guessed it. I'm a witch.
That's why they cast me out. Of course, I wasn't a witch, but does it really matter? To adapt to the forest, I had to accept its mysteries. The trees seep black magic from every pore in their bark. If you can attribute magic as "black" or "white". One man's poison's another man's porridge, after all. Just like a single brew of mine can kill a man but make another immortal. It's more about the ingredients of the man than the brew.
I'll use any ingredient I find useful. No matter how impossible to collect or control, every herb or root has a weakness - to the cold, or saltwater, music, or silver. And I'm excellent at finding weaknesses. I found all of my own and made them into strengths. I can live forever, eternally in the blossom of youth. I never hunger nor thirst, yet may eat and drink to my delight. I am the Queen of the Darkwood, and the plants are my subjects. Not that I don't do my share.
Each morning I get up as, I imagine, the dawn is breaking in the citadel of Erlommen. The thick, brackish trees block any sunlight from my Ruins, but the Moonwood trees begin to glow soft silver moonlight as the sun rises over them. It's said their pale green leaves soak in the moonlight each night so that it shines out the branches and barkeach day. As they begin to softly glow, I gather fresh herbs and plants and sing to the buds so that they will grow. Don't you see, I'm not at all mean or brutish as they say. Perhaps I'm not as darling as my complexion, nor as sweet as the sonatas I whisper to the rosebushes. But not at all a bad person. I am writing this now in hopes that you will understand me, as I'm about to give reason to doubt. But you will see, I'm being perfectly just.
Tomorrow, I will poison the King.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'm interested to hear from anyone here who is diabetic and what advice they may have been given regarding exercise...
In essence, what have you been told you can and can't do and the duration and intensity of exercise..? Has this been combined with advice about weight-loss..?
I suppose this question is more aimed at those with Type 2 diabetes...
I'm interesred in what advice you may have been given..
I have type 2 diabetes that was kind of kept under control by medication, but since August I have been doing quite regular exercise. I noticed literally within days an improvement on my blood glucose levels, and a month ago I was taken off one type of medication, and another one had its dosage greatly reduced. I regularly test my blood glucose levels and find that I only ever need to take medication on days that I dont do any exercise. Therefore, in my case, exercise has rendered my diabetes almost non-existent (although the predisposotion will always exist). Even 2 hours after my main meals, my glucose levels are within the normal range. Both my doctor and diabetes nurse havesaid that this was the way to go if I can manage it.
However, diabetes is such a complex disease that my history and response to treatment/exercise may not be the same for you. Just exercise regularly and see what effects it has on your glucose levels.
If you have a good response, and your glucose levels begin to show an improvement, there may come a point when your medication is too strong and you'll start to hypo - which happened to me, hense the reduction in medication. Hypos are not nice at all, and to have one while running/exercising can be very worrying. If you've never had a hypo before, learn about how to recognise them because you may not be aware that they are happening, and always carry some dextrose or glucose gel incase it happens.
But, this is only advice based on my own personal experience. Talking it over with a diabetes specialist is the best thing to do.

McGrath campground remains closed
Memorial Day weekend campers can't make reservations
OXNARD, Calif. - Campers missed out on spring break camping at McGrath State Beach, and now they are missing out on Memorial Day weekend, too.
Because of flooding, no reservations can be made.
Water is no longer blocking the entrance off Harbor Boulevard, but it has flooded the campsites, picnic tables and the bathrooms.
Supervisor John Zaragoza blames a half-mile sand berm blocking the water from the ocean.
Heavy rain usually breaks down the berm every spring.
Environmentalists don't want the sand to be bulldozed, but if something isn't done soon, supervisors are worried stagnant water will become a breading ground for mosquitoes.
Zaragoza hopes a solution will be found during a meeting with state and local agencies next Wednesday.
An effort to fix the flooded campgrounds at McGrath State Beach, county supervisors have directed managers to convene a meeting with state and local agencies.20284434

:) just do it!! -- welcome from se TX
Welcome from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I agree with Abby's mom, just do it. Here is a link that is helpful
Welcome and I taught myself with books and such. There are lots of toots on utube and on this board also.
Have fun.
Welcome from S CA!!!!
Welcome from Ontario, Canada. You might like to view some of the Youtube videos done by Jenny Doan for the Missouri Star Quilt Co. Start with a simple table-runner and you will soon be ready to tackle a quilt. If you have a local quilt shop that offers basic lessons, it is a good place to start also.
Welcome from the SHO-ME state - Missouri. First, do you sew at all? Have a sewing machine? Do you have any knowledge of fabrics? You might go to your local library and ask to see books about beginning quilting or sewing. Ask questions here too.
Welcome from Indiana! You are not "dumb"; you are uninformed! Do you have a Joanna or a local quilt shop or a Hancock Fabrics nearby? Most offer beginning sewing and/or quilting classes. There are lots of learning videos on the internet. And this board is an amazing source for information. Don't hesitate to ask questions; you will get lots of help!
Charla, welcome from Oregon. Love to hear about new quilters. There are many very knowledgeable people that hangout here. If you have any questions just ask, someone will know the answer.
Hello Charla, welcome from northern California! You will enjoy it here and there are always people willing to answer questions!

- - Long road trips with a GSD? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/456426-long-road-trips-gsd.html)
Long road trips with a GSD?
Okay so for background info, me and my boyfriend currently live in South Carolina. He is originally from Michigan. This summer we will be going on a trip there and want to bring our dog Bärli. Except he drives a mustang. The drive is around 11 hours at least. How is the best way to take the dog? Or should we just leave her at home with my parents? Any information is welcome and appreciated. It's a tough drive, even on me so I want to be prepared for her.
Carmspack Gus
I had done really long cross country trips with my dog as well (i.e. multi-day cross-country, MI to CA and back), although we had an SUV, where we carved out large portion of the rear compartment for her crate and shoved her comfy bed in there for her. She probably had more legroom than us humans and I think she comfortably slept through a lot of the drive. As the previous poster mentioned, regular potty breaks are helpful. I took my dog out for a quick trot, potty break, and a brief drink of water every time we stopped at a rest area or gas station. I found wet foods (canned if you have to) works better than dry kibble and was much easier for my dog to digest and helped to keep her better hydrated.
Assuming your dog doesn't get car sick easily and that you're not planning on piling the backseat with luggage, I think the dog should be pretty comfortable if she has most of the bench to herself and the 11 hours should fly by pretty quick. Don't forget to bring along your dog's medical records/vaccination record along with you just in case.
Jedda and I frequently do a 10 hour drive (one way), and I have a 2-door Scion with a pretty small back seat. I put stuff in the space between the bench and the front seats so that it's level, and put her crate pad back there. It gives her about another foot and a half width to get comfortable compared to just the back seat. I have 3 regular stops I make, and luckily she's been perfect in the car since day one and the 9 hour drive home from the breeder! Sometimes she'll chew on a bully stick, but mostly she sleeps or looks out the window. And I agree with the previous post, I feed wet food and mashed sweet potato on the trip just to keep everything normal. Good luck and have fun!
Thanks for the tips everyone! We thought about flying her up but felt it might be more dangerous due to the heat etc. I hope she likes Michigan! And cows since they have around 5000 :D
Michigan is great, we live in Ohio but some parts of the Upper are a good 9-10 hour drive for us. We give Tess a Kong filled with peanut butter on some of the longer road trips, and breaks about every 200 miles.
A couple things I thought of: Be sure she is leashed when you stop before you take her out of the car. I would offer her water every time you stop, but don't put it in her crate, as she will just spill it.
5 Attachment(s)
I drove from Florida Keys to Michigan a couple years ago with Raina. I rented a van so she had lots of room for a pad to sleep on and I could take her crate and coolers and everything I needed. It is going to be a bit more crowded for you but I would suggest piling up stuff on the floor to make it even with the back seat and have more room for her to stretch out. I traveled three 9 hour days on the way up and she slept most of the time but we were on a short schedule and had to be there on a certain day. On the way back we traveled only 6 hours a day and took out time to explore every place we stopped. I always take water from home when traveling and when that runs out use bottled water to avoid upset stomachs. I also always take canned pumpkin when I travel, along with Pepto Bismol, and Benedryl. Be sure to take your dogs records and make sure the microchip info includes your cell phone so just in case anything happens they can reach you. If you don't have her chipped take along some really good pictures of her so if she gets lost you can post pictures in the area. Always fasten the leash before opening the door and give her a potty break at least every two hours or so. It also gets you out and gives you a chance to stretch and stay alert. I take antlers for chewing in the car as they never make a mess. Mostly, have fun and enjoy all the new places and smells with her.
Like pyratemom said.
We regularly travel South Florida to Michigan with Traveler, our GSD. That's why we named him Traveler- he goes everywhere. He was 6 months old on the first trip. He's 7 now. We never crated him. We have an SUV but he always stays in the back seat and he slept 95% of the time. He only wakes up when he hears or feels the car slow down going into rest stops. I'm not sure why he never ventures into the back of the SUV-we have even made room for him to move around back there butI guess being by us was good enough.
We always make sure to bring water and food from home and take his favorite toy and blanket.
Please pick up after your pup. There are so many places that don't allow dogs and it's because of this.
Lynn & Traveler

text: Sounds like Willie is quite tight with JoJo and Ashley, so if he wants Frank gone I think they will go with him. Janelle has wanted Frank gone because she thinks he's a threat - strong and apparently popular - so she will try to influence her team of Wil (easy I think) and Joe (who is working with Janelle, but also seems to be trying to do a brigade alliance, so might want to keep Frank). In theory Danielle will vote out Frank to keep Kara on her team. So that's 4-5, and Willie would break the tie at 4. Ian and Jenn will surely vote to keep Frank, their team member, and Shane I think will go with the potential brigade too. That would be if the vote was now of course - we have a long way to go!

Marketing agility is critical for enterprises that interact with their prospects and customers via a wide array of channels. Enterprises that deliver static, un-optimized experiences are losing consumers and market share to more nimble competitors that have mastered the art and science of consumer interaction in the digital age.
Marketing agility relies on three pillars that enterprises must have in place:
1. Rapidly execute any digital marketing initiative through any channel or device
2. Harness true one-to-one marketing to make every consumer interaction fully personal and relevant
3. Deliver satisfying experiences that drive engagements and conversions.
This whitepaper outlines how to build and sustain these three pillars and achieve true marketing agility for your organization.

It's something of an understatement when Simon Urquhart-Hay says his father was good with his hands.
In fact his dad, the late Donald Urquhart-Hay, was one of New Zealand's leading surgeons and performed the first live kidney transplant in Wellington in 1968.
When urology specialist Donald wasn't carrying out operations, he liked to use his manual dexterity in other ways. His many interests outside of his job included woodwork. "He was very good at it," notes Simon.
Donald also had a great eye for detail and he put these abilities to good use when he and his wife Pamela had a new home built at Te Horo, near Otaki, in 1990.
They had recently returned to New Zealand after Donald had been working in the Middle East for several years and, although they had lived in Wellington for many years, they decided it was time for a change.
They knew the Te Horo area because friends lived there but houses they looked at weren't quite what they were after.
So they bought just over 5ha of land alongside the Otaki River and had a house constructed to their specifications.
"Dad designed the house and then got a draughtsman in to draw up the plans," says Simon. "He knew exactly what he wanted."
The resulting home is a large and gracious English-style home set in beautifully landscaped gardens. Many of the ideas for the house, such as the sweeping staircase, came from homes they had seen in the UK, where Donald had lived while training as a surgeon and met his wife.
The house is cleverly laid out so that the living rooms on the ground floor, which are accessed from the grand entrance lobby, all flow into each other, mostly through double doors. The spacious kitchen and breakfast area opens on to the dining room, which leads through to the living room, off which is the study.
The kitchen also opens to a covered terrace on the eastern side of the house that is ideal for al fresco dining. A covered patio off the dining room faces north and enjoys lovely views over the lawn.
Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en suite.
An enormous three-car garage was constructed opposite the house and also contains a workshop, toilet and an upstairs room Donald used as a second study.
"This could easily be converted into a granny flat. It was designed with that in mind," says Simon.
Donald was an avid collector of clocks and when the garage was built he couldn't resist adding a piece de resistance - a clock tower.
Ten years later, when he added another garage - this one with space for two more cars - he had it topped with a bell tower.
Once the house was completed Donald and Pamela turned their attention to the gardens, planting hundreds of trees and shrubs. But perhaps Donald's greatest achievement - and another example of his skill with his hands - was a stone wall he built himself around a stand of protected totara.
"That was Dad's big project," recalls Simon. "He could only work on it when he had spare time and it took 10 years to finish. He would go down to the river to get rocks. He finally finished it in 2009 and he obviously did something right - it has survived a couple of earthquakes."
Donald and Pamela had many happy years in the home. Sadly, Donald died in 2011 and it is now time to let the property go. "It's been more than 20 years of accumulated effort and they ended up with a pretty special home," says Simon.

I went out today and looks like about 2 1/2 or 3 feet up something has ate the bark half way around the tree. I am afraid i will lose the tree. is there anything i can do to it to help heal it's wound? I live in a small town and i think deer may have got to it, I am at the edge of town. I hope whatever it is don't bother the other 2 trees. Can you help me!!!

Particles strive for the life of a couch potato—sinking into a
spot that has the least energy, where gravity can't pull them down
any farther and movement is at a minimum. Getting a particle moving
requires keeping it off kilter, out of equilibrium. But particles in
such a state tend to bounce all over; harnessing their movement in a
single desired direction is the goal of many nanoscale devices.
One way to do this is with a ratchet effect—a mechanism that
uses spatial asymmetry and energy gradients to make movement easier
in one direction than another. It turns out that in some cases,
ratchets not only control movement, but can also move particles in
unexpected directions—away from a minimum energy state, the
molecular equivalent of a creek climbing uphill under its own power.
Indeed, physicist Heiner Linke and his colleagues at the University
of Oregon, along with collaborators at Oregon State University and
the University of New South Wales in Australia, have used a ratchet
mechanism to make water droplets propel themselves up an incline.
Linke and his colleagues employed what's called the Leidenfrost
effect, which many people have seen in their own kitchens.
If a skillet is heated to an extremely hot temperature, between 200
and 300 degrees Celsius, drops of water flicked into the pan will
skitter across the surface, remaining intact for a minute or so. A
surface not quite so hot will boil away the water droplets
instantly, but the superheated surface instead instantly turns the
bottom of the droplets into a layer of steam. Vapor is a poor heat
conductor, so the steam insulates the drops from further boiling. It
also provides them with a means of movement: The water drops bounce
around like hovercraft on a cushion of air.
Linke and his colleagues did not use a smooth metal surface, but one
covered with a sawtooth pattern. The teeth inclined more steeply in
one direction than the other—an asymmetrical surface, and
therefore a ratchet mechanism. Millimeter-sized water droplets piped
onto the superheated sawtooth surface zip off in one direction like
airport passengers on a moving walkway, reaching speeds of up to 5
centimeters per second, even if the surface is tilted so that the
droplets have to climb uphill. As the investigators reported in the
April 21 issue of Physical Review Letters, the phenomenon
works for many other liquids, such as ethanol and liquid nitrogen,
although the temperature at which the Leidenfrost effect kicks in
varies from 50 to 150 degrees above the boiling temperature of the liquid.
Linke believes that the sawtooth shape of the surface ultimately
gives the droplets their staunchly preferred direction. "On a
smooth surface, the steam escapes evenly in all directions, so the
droplets glide around randomly," he says. "We think the
asymmetry of the surface gives direction to the steam." He used
particles of glitter to image the puff of steam, which can be seen
to exit preferentially from the advancing side of the droplet. Linke
believes that this vapor release pulls along the droplet by viscous
forces, much like a boat floating with the current of a river.
Such a flow might be useful in cooling systems for electronics:
Waste heat from a microprocessor could power the pumping
mechanism without any moving parts. The vapor layer prevents the
liquid in a ratchet pump from being a good heat sink, but the
ratchet could be used to pump liquid through a heat exchanger.
Linke is generally more interested in ratchets than in fluid flows.
A few years ago he and his colleagues fabricated a ratchet mechanism
out of a series of triangle-shaped semiconductor wells to control
the random motion of electrons. The triangular well forced electrons
into its pointy end and thus created an electrical gradient, making
a current travel through the ratchet more easily in one direction
than the other.
Another research group, however, reporting in the March 30 issue of
Nature, has found that in some cases charged particles
prefer to move in the "hard" direction created by a
ratchet mechanism.
Victor Moshchalkov and his fellow physicists at the Catholic
University of Leuven in Belgium have found that the number of
charged particles in a ratchet mechanism can be a significant factor
in how the ratchet works, particularly if the particles repel one
another. With an odd number of particles, the ratchet worked as
expected, but with an even number of particles, flow was in the
opposite direction.
Moshchalkov's group studied fluxons, tiny vortices of magnetic flux
that repel one another, often found in sensitive superconducting
measurement devices. The fluxons were trapped in a ratchet potential
made of two nanofabricated wells, one larger than the other, forming
an asymmetrical shape that is essential for ratchets.
A fluxon put into the ratchet will fall into the deeper well, but if
an oscillating force is turned on, the fluxon will find it
"easier" to pop into the shallower well and then flow over
the top of the step into the next pair of wells, providing movement
of fluxons in only one direction.
However, if two fluxons are put in the ratchet, one will stay in the
shallower well while the other falls into the deeper well. This
time, the external force makes the fluxon in the shallower well push
into the deeper well, repelling the fluxon that's already there and
popping it out of the step in what is supposed to be the
"hard" direction of the ratchet.
"If you have more than one particle locked into an asymmetric
potential, due to the repelling interaction of particles there is a
sort of mini-billiard effect between the particles," says
Moshchalkov. "Then you have some strange knockout effects, and
particles move opposite to the prescribed direction."
Biological membranes also act as a kind of ratchet, allowing the
flow of ions in only one direction, in order to control such vital
functions as heart beat and nerve firing. Moshchalkov speculates
that his group's study might explain why some medications, in
improper dosages, can cause poisoning. Overloading the medication
may cause a membrane's ratcheting mechanism to reverse, pumping ions
in the wrong direction.
"The lesson is that you have to be careful with interacting
particles," says Moshchalkov. "We hope our work may be
able to help specify concentration limits."

Anastasia Bryan-Ajania (7-5, 6-4) and Natile Yates (6-3, 6-3) both got crucial victories at No. 3 and No. 5 singles, respectively to help lead the Branson girls tennis team to victory in its second round MCAL playoff contest against Redwood on Tuesday at College of Marin. Bryan-Ajania had four match points before she was finally able to close it out against Redwood's Lauren Wolfe. Paige Cline and Megan Scholvinck scored wins at Nos 1 and 2 singles for the Bulls (14-2).
"We were matched up pretty good with them and them with us," Branson coach Jenno Morson said. "We worked our practices on how they should approach their matches and it helped."
Kelly Klein (6-4, 6-4) and Abby Mullins (6-1, 6-1) each won their singles matches for the Giants (15-7).
"It was just a couple matches here or there," Redwood coach Marlies Zeisler said. "Last time we played them we beat them 6-3, so we were hoping to come away with the win today, but it wasn't to be."
Branson awaits Wednesday's San Marin-Tam winner in Thursday's final.
San Marin 5, Justin-Siena 4
NAPA — Christina Coll won the match-clincher at No. 6 singles by a 6-3, 6-3 tally to send San Marin to the semifinals. The Mustangs (8-9) picked up another key win at No. 5 singles with Julia Fager defeating her opponent 6-3, 6-1. San Marin will face Tam in Mill Valley at 3 p.m. for the right to play Branson for the MCAL championship.
Marin Academy 6, Convent 1
Charlotte Lobdell rallied from a set down to win her No. 2 singles match 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 and the Marin Academy girls tennis team beat Convent of the Sacred Heart to advance in the Bay Counties League West playoffs. The Wildcats (10-7) also got a key victory at No. 3 doubles with Jessie Capper and Morgan Buckley combining for a 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 win. MA will face No. 1 seed International on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at the San Francisco Tennis Club.
"We played them earlier in the 3-2 format and lost 3-2, but I think (in the playoffs) the best-of-seven format benefits us," MA coach Geoff Martinez said. "We need to win the league to make (North Coast Section) I think realistically."

When the National Street Rod Association opened up its events to post 1948 iron, they grew tremendously. There's no denying the popularity of Tri-Fives, muscle cars and ponycars. The NSRA has instituted a 30-year rolling window, so its events are now open to any car built up to 1980. Next year, that turns to 1981.
At the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa this weekend, the NSRA held its annual Southeast Street Rod Nationals and the Bow Tie crowd didn't disappoint. Tri-Fives were in abundances, as were first-gen Camaros, C1, C2 and C3 Corvettes and Novas.
Here are some photo highlights.

WWD-Beauty BeatMalin+Goetz Opens Uptown
NICHE PERSONAL CARE BRAND MALIN + GOETZ HAS OPENED ITS SECOND store, a 400-square-foot location on Manhattan's Amsterdam Avenue, at 82nd Street.
The opening of the shop was marked last week with a party hosted by the five year-old brand's founders, Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz. The space, which was formerly occupied by a Dominican barbershop called La Gran Esquina Barber Shop, showcases all 70 items marketed by the unisex Malin + Goetz brand.
"The [first] store became an opportunity to tell our story," said Malin in an interview during the opening party Thursday night. "We thought about how to expand our own storefront is it."
Industry sources estimate the new store, located in an upscale rapidly gentrifying community, could ring up sales of $1 million in the first 12 months, which would add to the brand's total annual sales of $5 million last year. In comparison the firm's first store, a 600-square-foot space opened in Chelsea in March 2004, does upward of $500,000 annually; It is located on Seventh Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets.
'We could have four to five locations in New York City alone,' he said, adding that the firm was is zeroing in on a third location, which has been in negotiations for weeks. He said, "We're looking at Los Angeles next."
The interior of the Amsterdam Avenue store features brown woods, white motifs, exposed brick and a multicolored tin ceiling. There are circular cutouts in the wooden walls - "ocular elements" - noted Goetz, in which products are merchandised. (The wood was reclaimed from a library in a mansion that was located on Long Island.) Architect Craig Konyk, who created the downtown store, also worked on the new location, creating the circular and semicircular cutouts, which draw attention to the walls and ceiling. Face care is front and center at the new store, because it represents 45 percent of the business, according to Malin. Other products marketed by the company include body and hair care as well as fragrance and candles.

Safety on the riverAs always, we ask you to exercise caution on the water, as river and lake levels can change at any time depending on weather and other factors. The water is still cold, which puts those who are recreating on or near a lake or river at risk for hypothermia, even in warmer weather. Here is some other important safety information for your consideration:

text: So, I got to the point where I was frequently seeing mites on live bees, maybe 3-5 per hive that I noticed. I decided to treat using oxalic acid dribble. I mixed up a couple quarts, using 1:1 syrup to 1.4-1.5oz of OA crystals. I treated (5ml/cc per seam of bees) and saw a little bit of mite drop. I scratched my head because it seems like there should have been more dropped due to the higher infestation. Oh well. But then it hit me: in a previous thread, someone mentioned that heat erases the effectiveness of the acid. Ahhh! I used hot water to dissolve the sugar in the syrup, and then added my OA crytals immediately afterward. Was this my problem? I think so. What do you think? I worked all 20 of my hives today and saw about 10-20 mites on live bees in each hive!!!! The OA definitely did not work, I suppose due to my ignorant blunder with the hot water. So can I retreat my hives? either with oxalic or formic? Will it harm the bees? All input is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hi there Jamie,
Love your recipes very much. I was wondering though if you have ever considered creating recipes for people who are on restricted diet. My friend is a dialysis patient and the dietery restrictions are unbelievable. I love to cook and try to find ways to convert my recipes to fit her diet, but would love to have some other variations for her to try. I am sure that a lot of the other patients at the dialysis unit would appreciate it too.
I live in Richmond Hill in Ontario, just outside of Toronto.
Hoping to hear that you can do something with this.

Hi Jamie and everyone else on here,
Just thought I'd share with you the impact your latest cooking series has had on my husband. He is a 46 year old, bald, bourbon drinking harley davidson riding bloke, who has never cooked anything, or even looked like cooking anything, that was my job!. Despite living on a small farm, where we grow at lot of our own food in Tasmania, he has never shown any interest, as long as there was a steak on the plate he was happy.
Lately I've been working late and have come home to find him watching your show, after which he dispenses useful advice he has learned in order to improve my cooking techniques. (Thanks for that Mr O).
This week I came home to dinner!
He hasn't actually followed a recipe yet, but has been inspired by you. You have achieved what his mother couldn't, and I have been unable to in 10 years of marriage.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou!

Hi all. Just joined and impressed at the lovely recipes that people are sharing. Going to try and get the early man that is my hubby to try some. He never cooks unless it is from a Jamie book ( said he can only cook Jamie as he is the only one that makes sense) so will be pretending some of these are Jamies if you don't all mind. Can't wait to see what people have been making from christmas as running out of new ideas.

Car crashes into Johnson City home, two sent to hospital
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A sleeping baby narrowly escaped serious injury after a car crashed through a house early Thursday morning.
Johnson City police are looking into what caused the crash while residents are asking what can be done to keep it from happening again.
It was a horrifying situation for a Johnson City family early Thursday morning. Just before 2 a.m., Johnson City Police say a car crashed through the front a house on Hamilton Street.
Resident Garrick Swartz says the impact was enough to send food flying out of his kitchen cabinets on the other side of the house. But his biggest worry was his eight-month-old son who was in bed on the other side of the wall the car hit.
He showed us where the baby and bed were tossed across the room. Both the baby and driver were taken to the hospital and are expected to recover.
Investigators say charges are pending.
Swartz told us he's happy everyone is going to be okay, but is not shocked this happened.
Residents say the intersection was not designed correctly and that there is a guardrail is in the wrong spot. Traffic does not come across University Parkway because of a center median, and they believe the guardrail should be in another yard.
Residents say they have contacted the city many times but so far nothing has been done. Many on this street are now hoping this crash will bring a change.
We contacted city leaders about whether they'd install a guardrail. The public works department says they are looking into it.

Anyone else wish they had this silverado as their "toy"?
If I had to choose something in that video to be my 'toy' it would be the model in the photo shoot, not the truck.
True true but you know the truck would be cheaper on the long run and wouldn't care where you were last night.
That's a pretty epic first date lol
I would take the truck over the model.

here is one for $120,000
That truck probably would be with you, where ever you went last night...
i like it.... all of it!
though i think that the truck in that video has nothing but light decals in common with a regular silverado.
That is badass
Or, the date, tough to pick :glasses:
Definitely the model. Easy pick for me. It's all in which was wearing less ... plus we know the model doesn't mind getting dirty (else she'd not have allowed dirt to be slung all over her in the video). And that's exactly how I like my toys ... beautiful and occasionally dirty.

About Town
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and Cape Fear River come together in front of the little harbor town of Southport, North Carolina, where they lap against the rock-strewn shoreline. Incongruously, a hulking 900-foot oceangoing freighter cuts through the freshwater/saltwater mix, while a little john boat floats nearby. A sailboat rests behind it, jib gently waving in the wind. Kids run on the long, grassy field of Waterfront Park behind the gray benches that face out to sea and shout out to the giant boat, which looks stretched to Mr. Fantastic proportions with crewmen visible on deck.
From the swings in Waterfront Park, visitors take in barrier islands, Oak Island Lighthouse, Old Baldy Lighthouse (as if one lighthouse isn't lovely enough!), and boats of all kinds.

It takes about 17 minutes with tram to get to the flat and then either with you take a bus fot 2 mote attaions or walk about 10 minutes,
Looking forward to see you!
The combination of historical and economic development, not to mention the numerous cultural highlights make Leipzig one of the most popular and beautiful cities in Germany. The charm of this city is reflected through the richly decorated façades of the 19th century Kaiser Wilhelm period. You will find plenty to accommodate music fans in the 'Musikviertel' or the music quarter, that perfectly blends architecture with cultural interest.
Just a short distance from the 'Musikerviertel' you will find the largest alluvial forest in Europe, a must-see for those who love to get out into the country. Looking for more? That's ok, because you will find more than 40 exotic animal species in the theme parks Africa, Asia and South America, Pogoland and Gondwanaland in Leipzig Zoo.
Not far from the Zoo you will find the greatest terminal train station in Europe, 'Leipzig Hauptbahnhof' or Leipzig Central Station. In addition to its stunning architecture and 298m long façade, it is now home to a large shopping arcade. From this important point you can quickly and easily reach the Convention Centre. The Convention Centre plays a particularly important role for the city. A large new site was allocated for Convention Centre purposes to the north of the city, on the grounds of the old airport.
One of the largest memorials in Europe, the 'Völkerschlachtdenkmal', is situated southeast of Leipzig's inner city. It was built in 1913 and commemorates the Battle of Nations, which took place at the gates of Leipzig. Other than the Second World War this was the largest battle that took place in Leipzigs' history, which resulted in Napoleon's defeat. The Monument, with its distinctive silhouette has long been a symbol of the city.
The people of Leipzig have played an important role in Germanys' turbulent history, from the crucial Monday demonstrations that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The movement took place in the centre of Leipzig, at the square in front of the 'Nikolaikirche'. After Re-unification many artists could once again inhabit the old Cotton Mill or the 'Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei'. The amount of colour and number of exhibitions at this particularly unique location are not to be mis

Reviews of this property
Tha flat was so comfortable. Everything was good and I and my wife enjoyed staying there. I recommend it to everybody who want to stay in Leipzig for a short time. Moreover, Vladimir is a good guy and a marvelous host.
The home is need of some TLC (as already mentioned), but adequate for the price, has all splashing around, you need! (Sockets in the kitchen abound ;-)) the binding could be better public transportation, but it is still acceptable. I look at the house loved it, and we would all come back
Die Wohnung ist etwas renovierungsbedürftig (wie schon erwähnt), jedoch dem Preis angemessen, hat alles drinn, was man braucht !(Steckdosen in der Küche im Überfluss ;-) )
die anbindung an öffentliche verkehrsmittel könnte besser sein, ist aber noch akzeptabel.
An ich hat uns die Wohnung sehr gut gefallen, und wir würden auch gerne wieder kommen
My parent and I had a great stay in Leipzig. Thank you so much to Vladimir, he is the BEST host ever. He is so friendly, nice and kind! The apartment is very nice, clean and quiet too. Next time, we will definitely book Vladimir's flat again.
the whole apartment was for me; it's a nice quiet clean place to stay and Vladimir is very friendly and helpful. Next time in Leipzig... by him!
We have been staying in here for 2 months and we just liked it. The quarter is very calm, safety and the flat is clean. Otherwise the householder is very considerate. You can stay smoothly in there.
Quiet waterfront bus and commuter train not far from refrigerator, stove, oven function properly clean everything nice landlord! one Mantra is still dwelling in light renovation
Ruhige gegend
Bus und S Bahn nicht weit entfernt
Kühlschrank,Herd,Ofen funktionieren einwandfrei
alles sauber
netter Vermieter!
ein manko:
Wohnung noch in leichter Renovierung
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Wohnung und der Vermieter Vladimir war sehr um unser Wohl bemüht.
Falls wir mal wieder eine Unterkunft in Leipzig suchen, werden wir gerne auf Vladimir und seine Wohnung zurückkommen. Es hat alles sehr gut und reibungslos geklappt. Vielen Dank.

Ultimately, to get a full understand of my tanks, I think I would need this capability. The trick is to do it as affordably as possible. It seems that lux meters are a bit less expensive but then I need to buy waterproof sensor.
and now I'm confused between PAR, Lux and electronic voltometer.
|Make sure to get an electronic voltmeter. It's more sensitive through amplification, about 10% more accurate.
|If you want to measure how much PAR is in every corner of your tank, how much is getting through the vals draped across the top, how much is getting through the floating plants, how much is getting by the stem plants to the ground cover, etc., you have to use a PAR meter or at least a lux meter with a waterproof sensor. But, if you want to know how much light you can get at the substrate level with your hydroponics T5 light and DIY reflectors, a lux meter will work fine. You can just adjust the numbers to account for the amplifying effect of having water in the tank, and use a general conversion constant to convert from lux to PAR units. It all depends on how you plan to use the meter.
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. So for my situation, where I have 1 10 gallon (which is giving me tons of problems); a 5 gallon and a 1 gallon and a 55 gallon waiting for summer. Can I get buy with just the air measurements? and then extrapolate the 15% water effect?
I don't want to short change the quality of the PAR(or Lux) meter because I am interested in learning all the aspects of the hobby; however, with the financial limitiations I would like to be able to put as much money toward setting up the 55 as possible.
So, for general purposes of setting up tanks and then troubleshooting lighting issues, will a lux meter suffice?
|If all you are trying to do is make sure you are providing a good level of light for a planted tank, you don't need extreme accuracy. If you can determine that you have somewhere between about 20 and 30 micromols of PAR at the substrate you can treat the tank as a low light tank. If you also have the light hanging about one tank height above the top of the tank, you can be sure you don't have extremely high light anywhere in the tank. For a tank with CO2, if you can determine that the PAR at the substrate is between about 40 and 60 micromols of PAR you should be able to grow anything, and not be faced with extreme algae infestations. And, again, if that is with a light hanging one tank height above the top of the tank, the PAR near the top of the water will not be so extreme as to cause constant algae attacks. Determining that the PAR is within those ranges doesn't take much accuracy.
My lab uses the QSL2100 from:
The wand is submersible (yay) but our PAR radiometer is an older model that needs legacy hardware adapters to connect to modern computers (darn). The company does sell the newer "AMOUR USB" for anyone looking for something modern and more professional than the Apogee or similar aquarium hobby PAR radiometers.
It has always been gospel that there is no way to use a lux meter in place of a PAR meter. And, I always accepted that as the truth. Now, I disagree, to some extent. If you want to limit your measuring of PAR to measuring it in the air, not in the water, you can use a lux meter and get a usable measure of PAR. There is no single conversion factor that will convert lux to micromols per square meter per second (PAR), because PAR is a measurement of the total energy of the photons striking the surface, and the energy per photon varies with the wave length of the light. But, we use a very limited variety of light sources, all of which are similar, since we are lighting an aquarium and want a specific appearance of the tank. The conversion "constant" from lux to micromols for cool white fluorescent light is about .014, and that is also the conversion factor for MH light, so it has to be pretty close for all white planted tank lights.
Ebay now has listings for $20- $40 luxmeters with adequate accuracy for our uses. The sensor is clearly not waterproof, so it couldn't be used in a tank of water, but it could be used very effectively for measurements in air. We know that the PAR in air will read low compared to the same light in the water, by around 15%. That makes these meters a useful tool, for determining how high to hang a specific light above a tank, for how much current to use on DIY LED lights, what wattage CFL bulbs to use, etc.
Well yeah that's obvious lol, I just have to dig it out to see.
However what I'm wondering how to test it to see if it's actually accurate.
if all seems to check out and looks ok, the low end of the meter calibration shouldn't be too iffy. basically... for the most part, when they're off, they're off noticeably or at least within their given range (+/- _._ %). it's likely you can look up your model# and find the %accuracy range.
the absolute accuracy of the sensor is already +/-5%. even a $20 multimeter commonly has a rated accuracy of ~0.5% @ 100 uV resolution... if it's capable of such a resolution. there's a multimeter going for $19.99 on amazon right now labeled as "L:AC/DC Digital MultiTesters Multimeter Hand Tool Meter". if you do a search for that and check out the stats, you'll see what i'm talking about.
a better voltmeter isn't going to amount to an overwhelming increase in accuracy. the type of light you're reading and how you account for that would be much more beneficial considering the ~10% apparent difference between sun and electrical lighting calibration between units. 5% and 10% discrepancies are massive in comparison to any digital multimeter that i'm aware of.
example: assuming the light you're testing results in perfect measurements per your units calibration...
say your reading comes out to 20 umols (4mV exactly)
+/-5% for the sensor = 19 - 21 umols (3.8mV - 4.2mV)
+/-0.5% for the cheapy voltmeter = 18.905 - 21.105 umols (3.708mV - 4.221mV)
as far as the security doohickey, i'd be more interested to see how they treat the U.S. market and how the product fares/works. it seems to be more of a continual use item which would significantly increase degradation in comparison to a unit stored in a cool, dark place until it's needed for use. this would incur an increase of ownership cost that seems to me would negate the initial savings in short order. i'd be curious to its usefulness when utilized as an intermittent use device. turn it on, gather my data, turn it off and put it away until next use, etc.. i notice it mentions hourly data recording. i'd be curious if that's an hours worth of data or a single point recorded every hour. i see no display, either. that seems like a hassle when attempting to gather data sets for different regions of the tank. i'd hate to e forced to go back and forth from my tank to my pc to keep uploading data from each zone. seems a recipe for disaster.

Otherwise you can only assume the MVmeter/Quantum sensor is equally accurate. And for our purposes, that should be good enough anyway.
It might even be more accurate for PAR below 20 micromols or so. Remember, the Quantum meter only indicates in whole numbers - no decimals. That means a reading of 5 micromols is only accurate to +/-0.5 micromols, or +/- 10%. If your MVmeter reads in decimals, it should be more accurate than that.
Using another PAR meter to test is a good idea but it requires that I buy the sensor first lol and I'd hate to buy the sensor and then find out I still have to buy another millivolt meter in case mine isn't accurate enough.
By the way, I ran across this the other day. It's actually more useful than a PAR meter and cheaper. $160-180.
The Seneye Reef monitor. Here's the quote from ReefBuilders (this would work just fine in a planted tank btw).
Literally it's an emergency monitor but also has a PAR and Kelvin reading built into it. Just plug it into your PC to get the data (or get the wireless version coming out later that loads data to a cloud service).
I'm interested in knowing just how accurate this is compared to a legit PAR meter. My guess is they are using the same basic sensor technology and thus it's pretty accurate.
Seneye Reef measurement range
free ammonia (NH3) * (0 0,500ppm)
pH * (6,5 9,0)
temperature (0C 40C)
waterlevel (senses if it is in/out of water)
LUX (lx) (0 150.000)
photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) (0 2.000)
Kelvin (K) ( 2.000K 20.000K)

My Radio Shack digital meter ($30) claims to be able to read at LEAST 1 mV but it may claim to read lower than that.
I have no idea how reliable that is though. I'd buy a PAR meter sensor at some point if I could verify my multimeter, but not until then lol....
plug the + lead into +dc and plug the - lead into ground.
turn that bad boy to the lowest dc V setting and put both leads very close, and pinch them with the same fingers. the readings will jump all over the place and expose the lowest possible decimal place on a reading.
then you'll know if your meter is capable of .5 or 5 umol accuracy.
you still have to factor a percentage in for the meter and the sensor for best accuracy, but if you're ok with the decimal place, that's only minor.

^^^ $160 for folks like me that already have a capable multimeter, solder, spare banana plugs and shrink tube to fasten the three wires into two acceptable plugs for the meter.
it only makes sense to utilize this option as a tool to bring quantum meters to the hobbyist level. the difference in price is all but too obvious and oft times a deal breaker when weighing the options of another tank, co2 system, priorities, etc..
we already know folks don't mind getting their hands deep into diy. this is a pretty simple diy with the potential of a $160 savings. that's pretty significant considering the MQ models run @ ~$300. over 50%.
unfortunately, i won't be doing this for some time, personally. finances will not allow it. if all goes well, maybe tax season. maybe not, though.
in light of the situation and since you asked and i cannot provide without product, here's a thread with a couple pics of the multimeter par meter with an sq-110. wrong choice of sensor since the 110 is calibrated for sunlight and 120 is for electrical lighting input, but the principle is illustrated simply in the photos that remain... http://www.cvreefers.org/showthread....-sun-par-meter
one thing i would do different is splice the silver wire with the black wire to keep it connected, but that may very well be just semantics.
i also found out the degradation of calibration of the unit seem to be highly dependent on the amount of light it receives over the course of time per this post here... http://www.barrreport.com/showthread...4392#post74392
i've got an old algae scraper laying around from before i started using credit cards for scraping i can drill a hole in to mount the sensor head to also. throw a couple zip ties on there and call it a day. another $50 pocketed.
i'd love to see this be more the recommended avenue for price alone. would be much less discouraging.
^please start a thread if you go this route
some simple math could mean $100 savings

text: We have been contacted to provide bees for apitherapy for a lady. I think this may be an ongoing deal. If it was one or two times, I would just give them to them. Does anyone have a price for bees sold for this? I am sure it won't be many each time. And just out of curiosity, has anyone seen the prices to have a procedure done? My wife is wanting to get into this. We have found a couple of avenues for education, but was curious if it is worth the effort in case there is not much money to be made. Thanks!!!

In the Philippines, two murders that should be solved
The investigation into the notorious murder of muckraking Philippine journalist Marlene Garcia-Esperat in Mindanao is now seven years old. A separate hunt for conspirators in the January 2011 killing of Palawan radio journalist Gerardo Ortega is just getting started. The Regional Trial Court in Puerto Princesa City issued arrest warrants against three suspects in the Ortega case on Tuesday, and one has been arrested, according to the local Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility. But both cases should already have been solved.
