Fantastic isolated seaside situation, where children can enjoy real independence and explore their surroundings.
Let us not beat about the bush – this campsite scores on the old 'location, location, location' chestnut, in a beautiful spot sandwiched between the beach and the mountains on the Llyn Peninsula, 10 miles south of Caernarfon. Negotiating a steep, narrow lane to the site, past the bumbling stream by the amenities block, feels like you are descending into a secret valley within the mountains. Drive past a covered games room and the owners' lovely house, past rows of white tourers and down to a joyous coastal 'Beach Field', a grassy patch so close to the sea as to be virtually in it. It can only be accessed by small vehicles and features 16 pitches with seven electric hook-ups.
Both grassy tiers of the campsite sharply meet the rugged coastline and there is a tiny, partly sandy, wild beach full of rockpools to explore. Braver swimmers might attempt a quick dip – a little wild swimming is all part of Aberafon's package – but there are sandier swimming beaches along the peninsula. There is even a slipway to launch your boat from, should you happen to carry one with you.
Co-owner Hugh is an extreme-sports fan, so he'll approve of anyone that wishes to canoe downstream, hike through Snowdonia, or try wakeboarding at the local sporting venue, Glas Fryn Park, near Pwllheli. Hugh has regularly jumped off Gyrn Goch mountain, which overlooks the campsite, strapped to a paraglider. If you're feeling equally adventurous, sign up with the local paragliding school. Otherwise, just let the kids safely run riot: happy kids make happy parents, after all.
So how best to describe the charm of Aberafon? Great location? Superb situation? Or how about astonishing situation in a great location?

nice and chilled
Lovely campsite, everything you require to get away from it all, including poor phone signal which takes a little time to get used to, but is worth it. Great clean showers and toilets.
Great place to watch the sunset, with a nice bottle of wine
The owners are lovely, laundry on site a little shop.
Nice place

Beautiful gem!
I'm a first time camper and just got back from our first family trip today. This place is beautiful, great views, Claire the owner is lovely and so helpful. We took a trip into nearby Canearfon but will definitely be going back to visit a few more places and to toast marshmallows on the beach. There is a children's play area that my 18 month old loved. We visited the beach and made sand castles. My 15 & 10 year old had a great time, we took along a few outdoor games with us. The facilities are clean, there are toilets within a short walk, the showers are abit further away. Great drive, very scenic. Our first night it was very windy but our tent stood firm but thereafter it wasn't so bad. We were blessed with fab weather too.

Wonderful if windy!
Had a lovely stay here last weekend. The site is fantastic. On location, it simply can't be beaten. Amazing mountain views and right on the coast. We pitched up and sat down just in time to enjoy a beer and a cracking sunset. The facilities are great. A bit of a trek to the only shower block but they were clean and empty. The beachside loos were handily located for us and the views from the washing up point are amazing! The free hot water for washing up is a nice touch. My only reservation about this site is the wind. We were in the newbie field i.e. the one with the best view but the worst of the wind. Our first night was blowy but OK. Our second night was armadeggon. If it's going to be windy, it will be VERY WINDY on the site so come prepared with extra pegs/screws and make sure you tie the tent down well. My son was fine in a lower profile tent protected by the hedge, but our icarus was blown about a lot. Others on the site abandoned in the early hours, so be warned! We will definitely return again however as the location, site, staff and facilities are all fantastic.

Fab place! We had a seaview pitch for two nights in mid June - cost £32. The owner was lovely and friendly and welcoming. As we arrived she was cheerfully outlining food buying options to the couple before us, then gave us comprehensive directions to our pitch, a wee map of the site and a copy of the not very restrictive rules. The pitch was very well sized, we didn't at all feel like we were camping on our neighbours and the view was, as hoped for, utterly, utterly glorious; cliffs and hills and sea and beach. Facilities were excellent and clean - 20p buys you three minutes in the shower and we were offered (and gratefully accepted) the chance to change money on arrival. Showers were hot and cubicles had a good amount of space. Extra bonuses for us were the aloof llama in the next field along, a glorious, glorious sunset on the Saturday night and bunnies frolicking at twlight on the way to the showers. Was also a lovely and quiet site. Did think the jetski trailing about in our seaview was a bit of a noisy irritant but its owner made up for this by getting his Landrover beached on the beach and therefore providing a good half hour entertainment watching him try and get it out. :)

Great views
We arrived without prior booking on a very windy day. The chap in the office was friendly and really helpful, even suggesting that we could camp in a more sheltered pitch initially before moving to one with a better view later on in the week when the wind had died down. We decided to risk it and pitch up on a spot with a spectacular view, next to the llamas (or was it an alpaca?) field, overlooking the sea.
The scenery here is amazing and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. We decided to walk to a local pub only to find that it had closed down! There's a small gas station/shop about 1.5 miles away but nothing else within strolling distance. The site is about half way between Caenarfon and Pwllheli, so a good base camp.
The site was reasonably priced, well kept, pitches well marked out and the toilets and showers were clean. It had everything that I look for in a site. Beach access was great. Lots of wildlife to see. There were even some goats wandering around our field.
I would definitely return to this great site.

Idylic Spot
This campsite is in a glorious location with mountains behind you and the sea in front of you (literally). When we arrived the owners were really helpful and friendly and despite it being July and fantastic weather it wasn't overcrowded, with pitches just round the outside of the fields. We wanted a get away from it experience which is what you get here, facilities are limited but very well done and nice and clean. The beach is what it's about though! a lovely long (mainly stony) beach with shallow water (we had a lovely swim). You will need to travel if you want pubs n shops, but this was my first experience camping in 20 years and I have the bug now.

Perfect camping
This is easily one of the best campsites in Britain. Gorgeous views, beach access, evening fires and large open spaces. Kids loved it, we all loved it. Facilities basic but that only seems to add to this sites charm. Will be back soon.

Perfect Location
From the moment we arrived on Friday night, I knew we'd made a great choice. The lady that greeted us was lovely. The pitch was a great size and the views out to see are stunning. There's an on site shop for essentials, a room with pool table and TV, perfect for the World Cup, and even a freezer for freezer blocks. There are supermarkets fairly near by, but to be honest, we never left the site for the whole weekend.
Would recommend for family with older children as that's what we are and we had a great time.

Going here yet again in july for a week and cant wait. You cant ask for anything more than whats on offer here. Id give it 10 stars if i could! Best campsite in Britain.

What a great campsite! They really do just let you get on with it once you've checked in. We went last week ago - so not school holidays and out of peak summer season - and it was quiet enough in the week for us not to see another camper. It picked up a bit at the weekend but we still only had one other group on the field we were on, which literally backed onto the beach. The site sells chopped wood so you can have a fire on the beach, which was a real highlight for us! It was pretty windy but we were still glad to pitch by the sea - the only disadvantage was that our camp stove was way less efficient in the breeze! We enjoyed barbecuing instead most nights though. There are a lot of rabbits around and they are pretty confident so I'm glad we didn't take our dogs as it would have been a nightmare stopping them trying to chase them - guess that's why they have to stay on leads. There were loads of lovely outings within an hour's drive: try the nature park in Llanberis, the Ty Coch Inn in Nefyn and Dylan's seafood restaurant in Menai Bridge.

April 2014
Just spent two nights at Aberafon pitched right on the cliff top. Great views of the beach and the hills behind. It gets quite windy at times but there were more sheltered pitches available. We were a little disappointed there's no longer a pub within walking distance and the main shower block is quite far away from the tent fields.

Can't fault it!
Best camping stay I have had in the uk. I won't say too much as I might have trouble getting a pitch next time, which will be within the next week as I'm hooked. Dog friendly but keep on a lead

Great location right next to the beach,but open to the elements in bad weather,but there are more sheltered areas surrounded by woodland,will definitely be going back .

Fantastic views out to sea if you have a pitch overlooking the beach, although obviously comes with less protection from elements. Facilities ok. Was here on bank holiday weekend and whilst was very busy there was plenty of room with each pitch. Would recommend.

a super site in coastal location. the beach isn't sandy, and parts of the site a bit exposed, but we were lucky enough to have a pitch down near the stream and had a wonderful time. the children loved paddling in the stream and messing about on the beach.
a small play area but enough for a site of that size.
we will definately return and probably ask for the same or similar pitch!

Fabulous location; stunning views.
Friendly, helpful owners.
Pitches - medium sized, but can feel smaller due to large family-tent / group pitching.
Site - busy, verging on over-busy. Washing-up facilities inadequate for the number of campers.
Shower facilities - modern and clean, but again, inadequate to meet needs at peak times.
Weather - wind is a factor to be seriously considered! Daily forecasts availabe from Reception.
Overall: great site, but be prepared to queue for basics at holiday times. Out of season - fab !

Ocean stay
We enjoyed our stay in june greatly, with the amazing views and sound of the Ocean constantly in our ears.Must go back one day
We have just got back from a weekend here. The site was easy to find and well sigh posted on the main road from Caernarfon. There is a narrow, rather steep road down past a small toilet block and a babbling stream you would think you was in the middle of a forest in the lake district, until you pass the owners house and into the field and the hole view opens up and all you can see is the sea in front and mountains all around. It is absolutely stunning! It is ideally located for days out in Caernarfon for the castle and a nice looking stam train ride can also recommend going to beddgelet which was beautiful for a day out walking and exploring.
The grass is very well maintained considering the time of year we were there and all the toilet blacks were clean with hardly any spiders (in fact I didn't see any) we had an amazing evening on the beach with a bbq and fire roasting marshmallows and watching the go down.
I would defenatly recommend this place and will certainly return, especially when the weather improves.

The painstaking renovation of Monastero Santa Rosa, a 17th-century monastery, has resulted in a unique Amalfi boutique hotel steeped in history, lavished with top-quality furnishings, and set in gloriously scented tiered gardens. Perched dramatically on the edge of a sheer cliff above that blue, blue Bay of Salerno in the fishing village of Conca dei Marini, the 20 ocean-view rooms and Santa Maria Novella-stocked spa are remarkably spacious and utterly romantic.

I was fortunate to play tight end on the state championship team of 1990. We may have thrown the ball 40 times in 15 games to give you a idea of how much Pepperell likes to run the ball. In fact Brian Smith still holds the record for carries in a game back in 1994( or 95 I think)with 54 carries in one game vs. Villa Rica.
Last year Pepperell was again blessed with a hard nosed and very strong running back Brandon Whitaker. He rushed for over 2000 yards and torched Calhoun for over 250 in a losing effort.
All that is about to change though in 2009. Pepperell has what could be the number 1 pro style quarterback in the state. I have talked with two people in the recruiting business that say he will be preseason number 1 quarterback in the state.
Coach what is it like coaching a quarterback like Jonathan Watters?
Coach Shiftlett-" We have had some good running backs over the years and last year we had a special one in Brandon Whitaker. Next year we also have a good one in Marcus Jackson, but we also understand what we have in Jonathan. We are going to do some things with him in the passing game and also the running game. People don't realize for a quarterback that is 6'4" and almost 190 lbs he can run well to. We are going to put in some packages and give him a opportunity to win some games for us."
Your team made it to the quarterfinal's two years in a row. What are you talking to your kids about to help get them to the next level?
Coach Shiftlett-" We talk everyday about how important each opportunity is and you got to capitalize on them. Working in the weight room and working in other sports is making us better. Getting to the quarterfinals last two years was great, but we have other things we want to accomplish at Pepperell. We are going to work even harder than the last two years to get us to that point."
Coach I don't really like to talk about 9th graders too much but there is alot of buzz about your upcoming 9th grade class. Myself and Chad Simmons ( South Recruiting Analyst) have seen them in person. Few of them of 6'4 and 6'5" 240+ kids. Do you see any of them playing next year?
Coach Shiftlett-"In our offense and defense lines for next year we have a very good group.Last year may have been the best offensive line we have ever had. We only lose one starter in Michael Ozment. I think Michael was the best offensive linemen I have ever been around. Having 4 returning starters we do think some of those young kids will step in and fill back up roles. They will have some good upperclassmen to learn from."
You have 3 juniors in Marcus Jackson, Drew Pearson and Watters that alot of colleges have on their radar. Do you turn to these guys as your leaders?
Coach Shiftlett"-Naturally that should happen with those three young men. This group of upcoming Seniors have played 26 games in the last two years so I think they will all be great leaders for us. I think our experience part will play a big role for us."
Rusty's Final Word- This team took a big hit on the defensive side of the ball especially at linebacker. Pepperell will have to outscore teams early on as the new starters on defense learn on the job. Look out for young man named Dakota Ball who played alot as a freshman on the defensive line. I saw him last night and he is everybit of 6'2" 250lbs right now.

Authoring Software
3Designer is the foundation of all of Orad's graphics systems, providing content for news, elections, sports events, weather segments, business reports and more. Whatever the format that is required, 3Designer is capable of creating compelling content.
Powerful intelligent templates
The core philosophy of Orad's graphics suite is "create once, use many times". Each scene that is created in 3Designer may have "exported" elements that can be updated dynamically during the production, while other elements remain locked against changes.
3Designer gives the user complete control over which of the elements will be exported, from text content, object position, colours to textures, video and audio sources. During production, all the exported parameters of the scene are available for modification from the controllers, allowing operators to easily update content without requiring extra work from graphics creation.
3Designer can introduce intelligence to the exports by creating connec¬tions between different parameters. For instance; the height and colour of a bar can be set by the value it represents, and by simply changing the value of the bar, the height and colour will automatically change; a full frame table can automatically control the number of visible rows according to the presence of data in each field.
Crunching large volumes of data is also straightforward to implement in 3Designer by using statistical functions on different values. This is especially useful for handling the datasets that are present in financial or election graphics. For instance a single "change" value in a financial template could be used to calculate the percentage change from the previous value, set the direction and colour of an arrow representing a stock's status.
3Designer's easy to use drag and drop interface enables all of the variables to be added, modified and changed quickly without requiring any scripting or programming.
Empowering artists
3Designer templates are composed from an unlimited number of layers. This unique feature is useful when constructing a scene that incorporates both 2D and 3D elements; a dedicated camera is assigned to each layer providing maximum flexibility and control over the scene's elements. Whether the designers are used to working with traditional CG style 2D content or more advanced 3D graphics, 3Designer keeps the workflow easy and efficient. Each layer or scene can also be mapped as a texture on the surface of another object, providing stunning new types of animations and effects that are normally only possible in post-production.
An intuitive object tree allows designers to manage even the most complex scenes easily. Any scene element, from a single object to a complete set of layers can be taken from the object tree to the Orad asset management system and then shared with other artists in the studio.
3Designer also offers extensive text handling that encompasses 2D vector based text, decorated and 3D texts. A unique algorithm was developed to ensure the maximum text quality at any given text size, thus avoiding text blurriness or pixelization even at very high resolutions that are found on a video wall. 3Designer fully supports Unicode and multiple regional language environments, multi-line and multi-style texts, shrink-to-fit, alignment and kerning adjustment.
In order to enhance the level of photorealism, 3Designer is fully equipped with texture and layer blending modes, cubic mapping, multi-textures and shaders such as bump mapping, displacement mapping and other video effects. 3Designer provides an API which allows programmers to write their own shaders and implement them using 3Designer.
User friendly and simple to operate
Running on a conventional PC or laptop, 3Designer is extremely simple and intuitive to use, and employs a common drag and drop interface. The local rendering preview does not require any additional rendering hardware in order to provide a true WYSIWYG view of the graphics while they are being created.
3Designer supports unlimited undo, configurable short cuts and local preview capabilities making corrections to the design template quick and easy. Template animations are created with keyframes and may be edited directly from the timeline by adjusting the keys, or from a dedicated animation window where animation ranges and curves can be set.
Interactive graphic creation
With 3Designer, the designer can easily create and define which elements in a scene are interactive and which interactions can be made. Buttons, menus, sliders, carousels and telestration can all be designed in keeping with the station's look, whilst allowing presenters to conveniently control content on-air.
Logic without programming
3Designer has a unique feature called 'Triggers' which allow artists to create different events that can be triggered within the scene when an animation is played, a value is changed or an interaction received. The triggers themselves can contain an unlimited set of events that play other scene animations, start / stop tickers, or set values for other scene parameters. Everything is described in clear English so there is no programming language that the designer needs to learn in order to start working with the triggers.
Distributed architecture
3Designer scenes and assets can be shared between multiple users. Assets that are created for 3Designer are not bound to a specific scene and can be used in different scenes by multiple users. 3Designer scenes can be stored in Orad's Graphic Asset Management database along with dynamic metadata fields. Once stored in the database other users can invoke searches based on the metadata fields that were assigned. A user rights management system controls the access rights of different users to different assets.
Enhanced workflow with Photoshop, 3D Max studio, After Effects
3Designer smoothly integrates to the graphics creation workflow. 3Designer can retrieve bitmap files from composting applications such as Adobe Photoshop while retaining the original layer and blending structure. Each element is retrieved as a 3Designer file, permitting per layer manipulation and anima¬tion. A "merge" mode also allows importing all Photoshop layers and retrieves them as a single 3Designer layer.
3Designer provides powerful tools for interfacing with 3D modelling software such as 3D Studio Max, Maya and Softimage. Using either the VRML or Collada formats, 3D models along with their animations, textures and materials can be imported and become assets within 3Designer.
The 3Designer After Effects plugin provides a route for transferring content for pre-visualization, promo or online use made in After Effects into 3Designer without the designer needing to recreate all the graphics from scratch. The After Effects plugin supports basic shapes, colours / material, textures, texts, masks, keyframe animations and layer / camera properties.
3Designer offers 3rd party plugins including; Line Graphs and advanced geometry.

The sophomore scored one goal and set up another in a 2-0 win at No. 2 Stanford on Friday night and scored both goals two days later in another 2-0 victory at California on Sunday.
Cheney has scored 16 goals and six assists in 14 games for the Bruins, who have not lost since falling to Texas, 2-1, in their season opener.
She silenced a capacity crowd at Stanford's Laird Q. Cagan Stadium when she converted on a penalty kick in the 37th minute after being taken down in the box. She then fed junior Christina DiMartino for the insurance goal with 15 minutes remaining in the game.
The Bruins have yet to give up a goal in four Pac-10 games. They got a big weekend from Valerie Henderson in goal and welcomed back Erin Hardy, a third-year starter on the backline, from a knee injury suffered earlier in the season.

BlueStacks Subscription Problem – Solution
I would like to mention one problem which is mostly faced by so many Bluestack's users. Also I wish to tell a suggestion for that trouble. People are facing a subscription problem with the Bluestack, this may be noticed when you run that app player. I'm not sure that everybody will get this, but may be few.
So when you identify a subscribing window in front of you, along with that you'll also see other option like if you don't want to subscribe, install the suggested apps from Play Store. Select the second option because subscribing to Bluestacks will cost $24/year, if you go with installing the apps you'll get benefited. In case if you disconnect the Internet at that time when you select that option, the apps also won't install. So one click gives two profits and in the end, you'll save your money and Internet data.
That's it for this session. I believe you've made it easy and challenging to download Showbox for PC on Windows 8.1/7 or Windows 8 laptop. Also don't miss out the chance to get Show box on Mac, in case if you use Mac.

Holes in the top plate
I'm looking into my options for doing blown in insulation. Read about removing the top portion of the aluminum siding, don't care to patch numerous holes on the interior of the house. I came across on two different sites, one being Cellulose.org where they mention the option of drilling into the top plates of the exterior walls from the attic. Keeping my options open, I want to consider this. My question and concern would that it weaken the top plate with so many holes drilled into it. on this site's sister contractor site, only go to read a couple comments, one saying it weakens, one saying they do it that way a lot. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.
You can drill holes up to 50% of the top plate's diameter, provided that your loads stack. That means your rafters and ceiling joists line up with your studs. If you have loads landing on the top plate between the studs, I'd suggest that you don't get too crazy drilling holes, as it can weaken the top plates' ability to span the distance between the studs and support the loads.
I'd be hesitant to allow an insulator to do any drilling into the structure of my house. There are other ways to do it that just involve little wall patches.
KC, I was hopeing for a reply from you, I would be doing the insulating my self, trying to do my homework on it. I have plaster walls, I've done lots of patching, but not enough to get real good at it, don't want to finish up and see the evidence left behind. By rough measurents walking around outside with a tape, have about 104 bays, its a ranch so if I have the option of trying from the attic, I think I would get better results. For under windows, I would remove the baseboards to make a hole. Also am planning on using 1" holes, thanks for the response. I appreciate your views on this site.
Do you have crown moulding?
You will probably have to rent an angle drill in order to make drilling easier under the rafters in the attic...Depending on how tight it is. Personally, I'd use it as an excuse to tell my wife that I have to buy a new drill. :yes:
No crown molding, and I did give thought to adding it to the rooms, but still like from the attic the best. As for the angle drill, have given thought to needing one, its going to be a tight fit up there, I'll either go buy one or my boss will let me use one from work, thanks for the ideas.
Well, I checked out the attic today. As was mentioned above, its a very tight spot. I'd be more apt to drill a hole right out through the side of the house instead of into the wall cavity. I'll have to go with removing some of the siding to get at it. thanks again.
What kind of siding do you have? Holes can be patched pretty easily with Rock Hard Water Putty or a similar exterior patch product.
its aluminum siding, its a ranch so I don't have to go up real far, I'll just try to be very careful about pulling off the top one or two sections., There is one section near the meter box that I'll do from somewhere besides near the power line.
holes in plaster are easy to repair. just use durabond 90 setting type compound first (which does not shrink or crack and bonds to plaster good) then use a coat of something that sands easy to finish it like the regular joint compound in the pail. i think you could drill a hole in the plaster, then use the angle drill to drill a hole through each adjacent stud to put the insulation in through. that way there would be only 1/3rd as many holes to fill in the plaster.

What is GIS?
23 Mar 2010 Jason 0
GIS, which stands for Geographic Information System, is a huge topic, difficult to restrict to a simple or concise definition. It covers everything from a simple GPS handheld device that gives you your current location to tracking the growth of the Gobi desert. It is the science of translating geographical information into a format that can used to make informed decisions on anything from where to locate a new supermarket to finding the nearest gas station and everything in between.
The one thing that binds all these different things together is that they are related to geography, or location. Both spatial and non-spatial data (see the box Spatial vs Non-spatial) can be stored for analysis purposes to help us make sense of the world around us.
A GIS is made up of several parts including:
- Personnel – Staff trained in collecting and processing GIS data.
- Data – Data collected for the purpose of building a GIS system. Most of the work in creating a GIS is in collecting accurate data.
- Software – Software applications designed to help with the collection, recording, storage and retrieval. A popular GIS software application is GeoBase, which allows companies to develop customized mapping solutions.
- Hardware – This can include dedicated web servers for running web-based GIS applications (such as Google Maps) to handheld GIS data collection devices.
Spatial vs Non-spatial You might hear the terms spatial and non-spatial used when talking about GIS data. It sounds complicated but it can easily be explained if we understand what the word spatial means. Essentially it is anything related to, or having the nature of, space. The space we're referring to is not the final frontier space tackled by the USS Enterprise but instead object data that includes location, shape, size, and orientation. For example, the center of a square (where the diagonals intersect) specifies the object's location and is thus spatial data.
Non-spatial data (also referred to as attribute or characteristic data) is data which is independent of the spatial features such as location or size. Using the example above of a square, it might be a red square. This is non-spatial data since it is red regardless of its size, shape, location or orientation.
Both spatial and non-spatial data can be included in GIS overlays.
There are many different uses of a GIS and they are used by businesses, government departments, non-profit groups and even individuals to interpret and analyze geographical information.
Here's an example to illustrate, in a basic way, how you might use a GIS. Say you wanted to setup an ice cream parlor in L.A. but you weren't sure of the best location. Knowing that most of your customers will be young children with a sweet tooth, you use a mapping tool to show a map of the city overlaid with age data of the people living in different areas, using publicly available census information.
You can see from the illustration above that, as you would expect, there is a younger population close to available schools. If the GIS included attribute information on the type of school, you might be able to narrow it down to elementary schools targeting the children under 12. Based on this information, you choose a location for your ice cream parlor where there is the heaviest density of young people under 12, thus increasing your likelihood of making more sales. You've also just used a GIS to solve a real-world information need.
Vector vs Raster GIS data GIS data (also known as geodatabases) is normally represented in two main ways – vector or raster. The type of information will generally determine whether vector or raster is used.
Maps using static images to display features of the earth's surface, such as vegetation type or census information, are more likely to be displayed using raster (e.g. a map filled with colored points, or cells, to highlight different zones or themes) whereas vector (made up of polygons, lines and points) can provide a more simplified view of an area, showing city locations, roads, lakes and other non-adjacent locations on a map.
The great thing about a GIS is that they can be custom built to suit the individual's needs, so there's no limit to how it can be used in the real world. Its uses are as varied as the different companies, groups or individuals that use it. Anything from environmental analysis to crime mapping, urban planning and transport logistics can all use a GIS to solve real-world problems.
While GIS has no special problem-solving properties in itself, it provides a very helpful platform to empower decision-makers to more accurately analyze the real-world, and hopefully make better choices.
As mentioned at the outset of this article, it is very difficult to offer a definitive, all encompassing explanation of what GIS is, so hopefully this has at least given you a broad overview that goes someway to explaining the term. To help explain it further, we'll consider a real-life use of a GIS in our next post.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bskien from High quality, comfortable pair of shorts! These shorts are a great combination of comfortable and looking good. They're not quite a baggy and floppy as some cargo shorts so in my opinion look better than most cargo shorts. They sit just above the knee and seem to run slightly smaller at the waist than my other shorts. Great choice for a combination of comfort and good looking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CapBeeba from Still Great I have had the original Brownsmead shorts for years, mainly because of the comfort and long lasting nature. After losing a few pounds I found that I needed new shorts this year. I was very pleased when I got these shorts to find out that they are still the same great quality and fit. There are a couple subtle changes like the Velcro on the back pockets not being there, but in general they are the same. I'm very happy to still be able to get my favorite shorts of all time. (Even though they are slightly different)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crawdad9 from My Go-To Short Love these shorts! PROS: - Fit comfortably; does not ride up or hang too low. - VERY soft material. - Deep front pockets. Even has a coin pouch inside the right front pocket! - Cargo pockets are billowy, with lots of room. CONS: - Back pockets do not have any enclosure; I would like to have a zipper/button/hook & loop flap or other to better secure my wallet. - Cargo pockets are roomy, but a little shallow; I have a tough time securing the the hook & loop flap over my iPhone 6s Plus or my sunglasses case. All-in-all a GREAT pair of shorts! Just bought my second pair and plan on buying more.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Patrick28 from Great shorts...color not true to description The Brownsmead 2 shorts are a very nice pair of shorts. The 8 inch length does not go below the knee which is nice. It is hard to find cargo shorts that stop at or just above the knee. The color though does not match the description on the website. I really liked the "Fossil" color which is what I ordered, but the shorts I received were tan. Not the color I wanted but the fit was good enough that I kept them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by USMCE4 from Comfortable and sturdy! These shorts are nice and rugged! Comfortable cloth with durability. The cargo pockets are nice as they don't bunch up like most other cargo shorts. It helps they have buttons rather than velcro even if they are not quick access, still better design. Purchased on sale and well worth the price at the point.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shortee from Found What I Wanted These shorts are an excellent product. They fit me perfectly, and are very comfortable. I bought the same shorts last year. They were very good, except that the rear pockets were too small. I complained in a product review. Much to my surprise the new pair have larger, deep rear pockets. I like everything about the new pair of shorts, especially the color.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bruce1 from Beware Sizing For decades I have had a 32 inch waist. Five years ago, these shorts in size 32 fit me. Since then the waist has become larger to the point that the last pair I bought are size 30 and fit comfortably. Just to be sure I used a tailor's tape and checked my waist. Yep, I'm still a 32 inch. "Size inflation" has come to even supposedly measured sizes. Otherwise these are good journeyman shorts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Braves from Durable I now have 5 pairs of these shorts. I work at a golf course, and my work clothes take a beating in the warm months. These shorts get wet, muddy, covered in grass and stand up to it all. I will not wear anything else anymore. The shorter inseam allows for ease of movement on, and off machines without having to pull the leg up over the knee.

Rated 5 out of 5 by craM from Brownsmead II Short These shorts are nice in build, material, and comfort. I really like different inseam lengths that are available. I have to other versions of these shorts, and will be looking for another. One note of caution. My cargo pockets were catching on cabinet door knobs in the kitchen and bathroom. Now, I have a kitchen cabinet door that has one vertical frame ripped away from the rest of the door. It's a glue and clamp event to fix. To prevent more of these snags, I am going to get some of the iron-on seem glue and close the flaps on the cargo pockets.

Rated 3 out of 5 by WalterDog from Sizing Info Misleading I ordered a 36 (my normal size) because the site said it fit small and I thought if it was too small I'd return it for a 38. Actually it was 3"-4" too large in the waist and baggy in the seat and hips, so I returned it. Material and construction seemed good; can't say how it would wear. Now it's no longer available anyway. Be careful with their sizing information. Next time I'll call and ask one of their sales reps about the exact size of a product before buying.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TeresaNC from Nice Shorts These are lovely men's shorts. I bought them for my husband and they fit excellently. The only complaint I have and the reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the back pockets had no button or velcro for closure. That's an important feature for my husband, which I didn't realize at the time. I'm going to stitch velcro to the pocket openings. I think it's important to know, for those who can't stitch. The fabric seems crisp and durable, very sharp looking. They aren't sloppy looking like some cargo shorts. I will probably order a couple more pairs for him.

However they only lasted a year and half before they started ripping at the pockets, and now they have an almost 2 inch tear in the seat. I have cheap shorts from a competitor which have lasted longer. Would not recommend these to anymore.

Dr.Pulley has been producing roller weights for a while, and as these became more and more popular, Dr.Pulley decided to develop their own Dr.Pulley Variator, a variator that would be the perfect complement for their rollers.
Dr. Pulley Variator Vespa ET4 / LX / LXV / S 125 / 150cc GTS / GTS Super / GTV / GT / GT L 125-200cc meets the highest quality standards - quality of materials, workmanship, finishing, everything is above reproach. We recommend to use them with Dr.Pulley's self-lubricating 'SR' roller weights (1 set is included). Their "hand-in-glove" fit leads to optimum performance - improved acceleration and increased top speed. Throttle response and power transmission to the wheel is noticeably better than with the original set-up.
- 3 variator sliders
- 1 jset of washers
- 1 variator sleeve
- 6 roller weights 20 x 15mm / 12g / 13g

please tell me what ive done wrong...because there is something bugging me and i cant fingure out what it is...also, i know that i dont have guantlets or a middle chest piece because its at a friends house
please tell me what ive done wrong...because there is something bugging me and i cant fingure out what it is...also, i know that i dont have guantlets or a middle chest piece because its at a friends house
Id say that all you really need is an ammo belt, and the codpeice. And I would ditch the boba dent, it's so strange that a good deal of customs get shot in the same place
i dont see a gun, so why should he have ammo, yet a belt to keep it in?? kidding looks great so far man
dun much use guns...like melee combat...this mado is a hunter. not a bounty hunter lol. and i didnt like the cod-piece because it just annoyed me so i took it off and i MAY use a gun...but i doubt it...im working on lots of melee weapons like axes and swords right now for it
i think the gloves need little metal spikes on the back. that would look pretty cool, also great for fighting.
so just a hunter?... so you do need a belt. bolas, cleaning knife, traps, extra rope. That and what is your prey? perhaps you need some scratch marks here and there.
if i could get a little more insite into the Mando idea it could help.
extend the dent. make it a deep graze.
i would put some color on the armor, something about a hunter im bright crome just dont sit right. but do your thing man, its yours to do
oo may i sugest maken the sash out of leather?.. kinds like darth mauls belt. then adding a the second sash after. it gives a harder line and to me seems more "fettt" like
even if you are a hunter, a gun would still be good since in an ambush (if something's hunting you) then nothings better than a blaster, maybe just a small assassins pistol.
uhm your armor is crooked,one sideo n the bottom is longer than the other..is that supposed to be like that..and take away the sash...
I like what you are doing here! It looks good! Like a Captain Jack Mando!
Although, you seem to have a hole in your jumpsuit...uhh..in your crotchal region...
thats a button...
I'm an idiot.
lol its actually the bottom zipper...that flightsuit is my uncle's flight suit from vietnam...and yes, after much debate, i decided to work on a gun, but i havent decided exactly what it will look like...and im working on ammo belts, ect, and its not chrome, its just the flash was really bright, its actually a faded/scratched black with silver vizor part. i like my sash, and i really dun have enough leather for another sash...the armor is crooked because its attacked by velcro. that way i can just take it off and reshape it if i need to...like in that picture! lol, and im trying to do something to the dent, but i havent decided what yet...hmm...

Grade Level: 4th - 6th; Type: Life Science
Ecological succession is the natural process of the introduction and development of living things into an area. In an area where there is no soil, the process is called primary succession. In an area where soil already exists, such as an abandoned field or forest after a fire, the process is called secondary succession. The research aspect of this science fair project is to test soil taken from an abandoned field to predict future secondary succession.
Natural damp soil from an abandoned area will be placed in a large bowel and sealed with plastic wrap, and then placed in a sunny window. For a week or two observations will be made of the soil looking for new plant growth. If new plants are seen growing in the soil they will be recorded and analyzed. From the results of the observations and analysis a data table will be produced and a graph plotted. The practical application of data gained from this study will be the ability to predict if the abandoned field will undergo secondary succession.
- What is the project about?
- What are the goals?
Questions for Background Research
- What is ecological succession?
- ecological succession? • What is the main difference between primary and secondary succession?
- What kinds of plants sprouted in the model of secondary succession?
- What kinds of plants sprouted in the model of secondary succession? Were the plants that sprouted in the bowl unusual or common for the area?
- Explain how the plants that grew in the model of secondary succession can be pioneer species.
- From the type of plant(s) that developed in the model what was most the dominate plant in the area before it was abandoned?
- From the data gained from the model what are the possible stages of secondary succession that will take place on the abandoned field sometime in the future, if left undisturbed?
Ecological succession is the gradual development of communities of living organisms over time. Often a series of stages is observed during succession. Primary succession occurs in an area that was not previously inhabited by living things; no soil is present. Secondary succession occurs in an area where an earlier community was disturbed by fire, landslides, floods, plowing for cops, land excavation for road of building constructions, etc.
The main difference between primary succession and secondary succession begins with the formation of soil. Secondary succession begins on preexisting soil, such as when an existing community is disrupted by natural disaster or by farming. Pioneer species in primary succession are usually lichens, which begin the formation of soil. Pioneer species in secondary succession are usually seed plants, which germinate and take root in the soil.
*A eutrophic pond will eventually fill with sediment. First aquatic plants will grow. When the pond is completely filled, the area will undergo secondary succession.
- Any required diagrams/pictures (Pictures speak a thousand words!)
A series of stop-action digital photos can be taken over the course of the succession investigation also the following sites offer down loadable images that can be used on the display board
http://mrswolfgang.wikispaces.com/file/view/yay_ven_diagram.png/75839849/ yay_ven_diagram.png
Empty coffee can, large clear plastic or glass bowl, water, clear plastic wrap, and soil taken from an abandoned field also, an optional digital camera.
With the exception of the soil all of the items for this project are available locally at most major retail (Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar general, etc) discount department stores also, a Tri-fold cardboard display board can be purchased from an art & crafts supply store.
A test soil sample can be gathered from an abandoned field, cleared construction area, bank of a eutrophic pond*, cleared or vacant farmland, or a vacant city lot.
- What materials are required?
- Where can the materials be found?
Experimental Procedure
|Name of abandoned field from which soil sample was taken:
|Succession Days
|Number of Plants Seen
|General Observations
- Scope up a sample of soil using an empty coffee can or other large container from an abandoned field, cleared construction area, bank of a eutrophic pond, cleared or vacant farmland, or a vacant city lot.
- Place the natural soil brought from the abandoned area into the large bowl, and dampen the soil with water.
- Cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap, and place the bowl in a sunny window.
- For 2 weeks, observe the bowl for any new plant growth. Describe and count the number of plants observed.
- Record these and all other observations in the table similar to the one shown.
- Using graph paper or a computer equipped with Excel® visually display the data in the table by plotting a bar or line graph showing the number of plants verse days of succession.
- The time (days) is displayed along the horizontal axis and the number of plants seen growing if any (population), is displayed along the vertical axis.
- Note: Do not allow the soil to dry out and using a pair of tweezers remove areas of mold that may develop inside of the bowel.

A whole host of Microsoft related news today so let's get straight into it...
Firstly the Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Release Candidate has arrived this week as expected along with SP2 for Windows Server 2008. Both TechNet and MSDN subscribers can get it immediately. A mass general public release will come "in the very near future" but no doubt those of you using Bittorent or Usenet have it already. A final release will appear in Q2.
As for Vista's successor, president of Taipei based Compal Electronics Ray Chen has let slip Microsoft is telling PC makers that "according to current planning it {Windows 7} should be late September or early October." If you haven't heard of Compal, they make laptops for giants such as HP and Acer so this shouldn't be taken lightly.
More officially however is Microsoft letting slip about the latest changes since the Windows 7 beta candidate which will appear in the RC. Encouragingly they are fairly minor (boding well for a fast release) with additional keyboard shortcuts, more taskbar scaling to fit in extra icons, more noticeable animations for 'needy windows' (7 beta is too subtle), multi-touch support for a touch keyboard (incl. right click) and visual tweaks to Media Player and non-removable HDD FAT32 library support.
Now for all the excitement about Windows 7, it is arguable Windows Mobile 7 is even more pertinent to Microsoft's future given the tragedy of Windows 6.1/Windows Phone but Ballmer has confirmed this will not arrive until 2010. This was somewhat expected however and he has also restated Microsoft will not be entering the handset market. With the LG deal we're slowly starting to believe him).
Phew. Right, any other companies care to announce some news today...?!

No Lands - Negative Space
Negative Space is the debut full-length LP from No Lands, the recording project of Brooklyn-based electronic musician and sound artist Michael Hammond. The music of No Lands exists in the realm between sonic experimentation and traditional song craft, a space that will be familiar to fans of Brian Eno, Fennesz, and late Talk Talk.
The record was declared Best Electronic Album of 2014 by The Brooklyn Rail, and was also included on Tome to the Weather Machine, Will Stratton, and Ted Gioia's Best of 2014 lists.
buy on Bandcamp, iTunes and Amazon
Release Date: July 29, 2014
As a sound designer, producer, and programmer, Hammond has fostered a lifelong obsession with sound. Growing up in West Tennessee in the 90s, Hammond first began his recording experiments on the family desktop computer, printing his sprawling opuses on CD-Rs and pushing the limits of primitive processors.
Later, Hammond spent time creating custom music software and soldering together speakers in a search for new sounds. Studying with visionary composer and instrument builder Dan Trueman, Hammond further honed his technical craft. On Negative Space, some of these tools are employed, along with an arsenal of guitars, vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and processed vocals to create pristine and enveloping sound worlds.
Written and recorded over the course of 3 years, the album is an atlas of the sounds that have preoccupied Hammond. While the majority of the instruments were performed by Hammond, the album features cameos from Anthony LaMarca (current touring member of The War on Drugs and previously a member of St. Vincent), Aaron Roche (who performs regularly with R. Stevie Moore and Chris Schlarb), and Jay Hammond.
When performing live, Hammond is joined by these musicians. The four-piece becomes a digital hive mind of wires and devices, with each individual's vocals and instruments filtered through the central brain of Hammond's computer.
In visual art, the concept of negative space refers to the areas around and between the subject of a work of art. The auditory equivalent of negative space is not immediately apparent. Is it silence (as John Cage might conceive of it)? Or maybe noise? On Negative Space, No Lands plumbs the depths of these questions with a patience and intensity that is rare. Ultimately, the album is a document of this obsessive relationship with both sound and song, the genesis of which spans the course of three years and a hurricane.
Negative Space consists of 9 sonic environments that range from ambient soundscapes to sprawling song structures. The album drifts from one environment to the next as if navigating a dream state. Swirling digital textures give way momentarily to tightly arranged songs. Some tracks are cut off abruptly and swallowed whole (see the end of "Pretender" or "City") while others transfix the listener into a deep hypnosis ("Sleep Atlas").
Much of the music for Negative Space was written and recorded following a period of itinerancy in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The flood swept through Hammond's apartment and studio space in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn and leaked a particular feeling of unease and rootlessness into his music. The watery world that displaced him became a renewed object of fascination, kindling a nascent obsession with all things aquatic.
Visions of vast bodies of water and civilization lost pervade the album: on "Seawall," Hammond sings: "Sea flowing westward, reveal the streets of gold." At the same time, the name No Lands itself suggests both a warning and a fantasy, a liminal state where blissful glitch sets the stage for a synthesizer melody desperately gasping for its final breath ("Icefisher"). The No Lands sound is born of the clash between the creative and destructive qualities of water, where the difference between the displacement of a flood and the zeal of an afternoon swim is never quite clear.
Negative Space was mixed by Alexander Overington and mastered by Joe Lambert. In addition to digital and CD, the album will be available on 12" vinyl, including a limited edition run of clear vinyl.

It would appear that civilized society has some of the requirements for acheiving homeostasis, but that it lacks others, and because lacking them it suffers from serious and avoidable afflictions. (WB 312-313)
Are there not general principles of stabilization? May not the devices developed in animal organism for preserving steady states illustrate methods which are used, or which could be used, elsewhere? Might it not be useful to examine other forms of organization - industrial, domestic or social - in the light of the organization of the body?
These are tempting questions. Many times in the history of philosophy and sociology similar questions have led to an examination of the analogies between the body physiologic and the body politic. The biologist is as subject to temptation in respect to these analogies as are the philosophers and sociologists! He may lack the philosophers' broad outlook and the sociologists' knowledge of the complex details of the social system. But as a unit of that system he is interested in it. And he looks on the analogies from the biological point of view. May not the new insight into the devices for stabilizing the human organism, which we have been examining in the foregoing chapters, offer new insight into defects of social organization and into possible modes of dealing with them? The details of bodily homeostasis are, of course, available to anyone who cares to see whether they offer any suggestions for the study of social conditions. As a stimulus to such suggestions it might not be amiss to consider some features of their apparent analogies. (WB 305-306)
Not only may the bodily needs be inadequately supplied, but in addition there may be suffering because of a loss of the sense of security. In the animal organism, as we have learned, the device which preserves homeostasis, which protects the cells in all parts from perturbations whether from within or wothout, is the controlled fluid matrix. What is the agency in civilized society which corresponds to that feature of our bodily arrangement? (WB 313)
What does the stability of the organism suggest as to modes of solving the problem? Here we must be careful not to extend the principles of homeostatic orderliness at first to large and unwieldy administrative regions. If we assume a limited and fairly self-sufficient administrative region, we may suppose that the suggestions of the organism would be somewhat as follows. (WB 316)
In our study of the effects on the organism of a controlled stability of the fluid matrix we noted that just insofar as the stability is preserved the prganism is released from the limitations imposed by internal and external disturbances. Is it not probable that similar results will flow from control and stabilization of the fluid matrix of the social organism? (WB 322)

Because recently there have been a slew of things in my life that have changed rather dramatically (see this post that, in fact, started this whole blog), and suddenly I find myself eagerly taking part in things that…well, things that I used to look down my nose at other people for doing. So for Quick Takes this week, I'm going to look at all those things I used to think only crazy hippies/crazy homeschoolers did. That I now do as well, even though I'm not as cool as hippies and I'm not as organized as homeschoolers.
