Kodak Accepts $830 Million Financial Deal from Steering Committee for InterimNovember 29, 2012 No Comments
On November 28, American company Eastman Kodak announced that it finally accepted and received the offer of Steering Committee of the Second Lien Noteholders Committee for interim worth $8300 million. The commitment replaced the $793 million offer of Centerbridge Partners, GSO Capital Partners, UBS and JPMorgan. According to the official press release of Kodak, "This financing strengthens Kodak's position to successfully execute its remaining reorganization objectives and emerge from Chapter 11 in the first half of 2013."
It is stated that the senior secured notes of the company are in the hands of the ten institutional investors of Steering Committee while the improved financing will be open to investors by all other holders of the notes which includes the investors that extended their November 12 commitment.
It was also stated in the press release that the "financing includes new money term loans of $455 million, as well as term loans of up to $375 million issued to holders of senior secured notes participating in the new money loans in a dollar-for-dollar exchange for amounts outstanding under the company's pre-petition second lien notes."
The commitment of Kodak to Steering Committee for interim and improved financing wasn't something surprising since it was reported that it was way back in 2007 that the company made a profit and was struggling in the industry since then, resorting to generate revenues through aggressive patent litigation. The business slow downfall rumors was even proven to be true when they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection early this January and was followed by their announcement of exiting the digital image capture business, phasing out its production of digital cameras in the market in February. It was also in the same month that they sold their Image Sensor Solutions (ISS) division to Trusense Imaging Inc. They stated that their exit was to focus on the production of their home photo printers, high-speed commercial inkjet presses, workflow software and packaging. But in September 28, it was altered when Kodak announced its plans to stop selling inkjet printers in 2013 and will focus on commercial printing, but also said that they will still sell Kodak inks for their printers.
"The improved financing commitment provides a longer maturity, lower fees and pricing, and greater liquidity than our previously announced commitment," said Antonio M. Perez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This is a vote of confidence in the future of our company. We are particularly pleased that the financing allows for participation by all of our pre-petition second lien noteholders in a manner that is cost-effective for the company."

Friends, New York fashion week is coming to an end. Can you believe that there is only one day left? Worry not, the tents seem to have saved some of the best shows until last, check out the round-up below of Wednesday's shows:
Michael Kors
Fashion can be fickle, one moment you're in and the next moment you're out. Which makes Michael Kors' feat even more remarkable. He is the man who has helped defined classic American fashion for the last 30 years (and held his own as a judge on fashion TV show Project Runway over the last few years). Kors used his catwalk show to display just how relevant he still is with a stunning collection of pieces. Sparkling silver dresses hit the catwalk, cinched in at the waist, neutral colours were the theme of the day and when it came to textures, silk was used to highlight the luxury of the collection. On a negative note there was some fur on the runway (I know that winter in NYC is cold but really, we're still doing this?) The dresses were particularly beautiful, with cuts that highlighted the real shape of the female form, complete with thigh high spits on some of the designs. According to the Wall Street Journal, Kors described his collection as "glamour that's comfortable". While the New York Times reports that the sign at the mouth of the runway told models to "celebrate 30 years of American glamour. You are strong, powerful and so sexy, people can't breathe! Kill them with chic and power. Have a great show! Of Kors!" The front row was packed with stars including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michael Douglas and Bette Midler, all perched on their seats.
Oh how we long for the days of Studio 54 ... Lucky then that Mario Schwab presented the autumn/winter collection for Halston today. Doing away with a runway, models were standing up on plinths instead. The collection of dresses were mainly neutrals, lots of deep creams, muted greys and soft browns. The soundtrack for the show was Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'. The New York Times described the collection as disco revival that seemed "intent on sticking to the jersey dress formula". While Elle UK magazine was far more upbeat about the collection, celebrating Schwab's talent for reviving the brand and ticking all the boxes when it came to highlighting the 70s decade, which is having a fashion moment right now.
Some people can actually afford runway clothes (not me, obviously)
The Wall Street Journal reminds us that fashion week is not just a week of fun parties, pretty clothes, champagne and a chance to hang out with models, but a week for designers to showcase collections they hope to sell. Based on this, the Wall Street Journal has tracked down people who actually head to the shows and then ring up the purchases on their credit card once they get home. Among them is Ana Pettus, who bought a $74,000 Balmain dress after seeing it in Paris last year. Fact: in future I'm going shopping with these women, they rock!
Jeremy Scott
From the man that brought you Mickey Mouse trainers came a disco/rave inspired collection. It was neon pink, pink, pink on the catwalk for Scott's runway show, from the shoes to the streaks in the models hair. One dress looked as though a Skittles sweet packet had exploded onto the fabric (the collection was called Candy Flip, so what do you expect?), while another outfit was a pink bikini with a clear plastic coat on top and the dresses in the collection looked like Coca-Cola bottles. Explaining the collection, The Cut Blog reports that Jeremy's inspiration was his youth, being young and clubbing: "the excitement of getting dressed, doing your hair and getting ready for a club or a rave. This epitomised that moment. I loved clear plastic. I would make clear plastic kimonos to wear," says Scott. Kanye West was front row.
Fashion news in brief
Coolest collaboration:
Mad Men star and the British doyenne of fashion team up.Elle.com reports that Christina Hendricks (better known as Mad Men secretary Joan Holloway) is set to be the new face of Vivienne Westwood's jewellery line.

APIs, Connectors and Integration Applications
In this post, I wanted to give an analogy around how to think about API's, connectors, and integration applications. This is something that can be confusing when you first start working with or building integrations since the definitions of applications and connectors are relative terms which means that they differ in the application space vs the integration space. Let's say that you want to connect your laptop to your TV so that you can watch some YouTube videos. What would this look like using the terminology used in the integration space?

BA said the figures were encouraging, although it warned - as it has over the last several months - that trading conditions remain highly competitive.
"Yields continue to be under pressure, and there must be some caution around travel patterns for the millennium period, when demand will be difficult to forecast," the airline said.
BA said premium traffic had risen 8.2 per cent, compared with a 2.4 per cent decline in October 1998. Non-premium traffic was 1.7 per cent lower.
The airline, which aims to boost yields by cutting capacity by 12 per cent over the next three years, also confirmed that capacity would be reduced by about 1 per cent for the rest of the year despite a 0.6 per cent increase in October.
A BA spokeswoman said the slight rise in capacity last month was a one- off coincidence, which did not indicate any shift in BA's strategy.
Fuel prices were relatively steady throughout October, BA said, adding that the level of its fuel hedging for the rest of the financial year was around 85 per cent. The yen continued to strengthen against sterling in October, it added.
Excess capacity in the North Atlantic, rising fuel prices and a strong yen have all contributed to falling yields and a squeeze in profits for BA.
The airline reported an 84 per cent drop in pre-tax, pre-exceptional first-quarter profit in August and is due to release first-half figures next Monday.

text: Hi all. I recently moved my washer and dryer up from the basement to the first floor for convenience sake. While doing some wire management and such, I noticed that both the wire from the service panel and the breaker itself were slightly warm to the touch. I am using 10-3 from the circuit panel to the plug in the laundry room. The total run from panel to plug is about 40 feet. The pigtail from the plug to the dryer does not get warm. I swapped out the breaker with another one and the problem did not go away. The breaker is rated at 30 amps. Is my wire undersized for the run or is there something else I should look for? The wire and breaker aren't hot, just slightly warm. Thanks!!

Well i found that most of the restaurants, and places i go, dont have it poste. However, if i am in a bimd and have to run into a convenient store or something that is posted i ignor it, because they 1.) Wont notice hence concealed 2.) Should the off chance in the few minutes i am in there, and something should happen, robbery for example and the owner is at gun point, pretty sure hed appreciate the the fact i didnt dollow the sign. So to be honest though, depends on where i am going and howlong id be there. If longer than 10 mins prolly follow the sign.
But i do plan on moving first chance i get, milwaukee is not a place to get caught in a self defense case, odds are against you, just because of the biasness of the police/judges and such. Now, dont take that wrong, im not saying that they are all swinging against it, however with the stories just seems like the odds would be against you... IMHO

Iraq Detains 1000 AQ Suspects in Mosul
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki continued his vigorous suppression of violent opponents last week by surrounding the Ninevah province in the city of Mosul and then sweeping the city in order to clean up al Qaeda's last major urban stronghold in Iraq, according to the Reuters report.
Lieutenant-General Riyadh Jalal Tawfiq, head of the Iraqi-led offensive that began a week ago, said 1,068 suspects had been detained so far.
"This operation will last until we finish off all the terrorist remnants and outlaws," he said.
Bill Roggio's report at Long War Journal adds that of the thousand detainees, almost 200 are known Tier 1 or Tier 2 operatives, according to US Major General Mark Hertling. Tier 1 operatives are operational leaders; Tier 2 operatives are foreign facilitators, bomb makers, or cell leaders.
"There have been some very big fishes caught," Hertling said.
The Maliki government continues to offer amnesty to armed combatants who have not killed anyone and choose to hand over their weapons. They are to be paid an unspecified amount for the weapons. The amnesty policy has been successful in convincing a large number of members of Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army to lay down their weapons in Baghdad and Basra.
Meanwhile, the AP report includes comments from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who visited Iraq over the weekend. Apparently Ms. Pelosi is beginning to recognize that the Maliki government is producing national reconciliation, which she complained in February they had not. Rightward bloggers are wondering whether this means Ms. Pelosi has adjusted to reality, or whether this is the beginning of a new Dem strategy (see, for example, Power Line and Commentary observations.)
I've been admiring Maliki's shrewd activism for several months now, as the new Iraqi government flexes its muscles in putting down armed opponents around the nation. Saddam Hussein appears to have tolerated large, armed bodies within his country, but the violence of 2006-7 made it clear that an independent Iraqi republic could not sustain such forces. Maliki is taking sane but effective measures to secure the nation from extremes of violence, and now seems to be closing one of the worst lines of foreign incursion.
The goal of the Iraq war all along has been a stable, free, and prosperous republic to stand as an example of how the Middle East can prosper; the Bush administration staked its policy on the notion that prosperous free republics don't attack each other and don't breed terrorists. This long-term goal may yet be achieved, despite fierce opposition from foreign terrorist elements and constant, negative posturing from domestic politicians. I remain one of the few who believes the war was not a mistake, but a bold plan with some chance of success.

…Saddam Hussein appears to have tolerated large, armed bodies within his country…
I thought Saddam's main thing was suppressing his enemies through force. As far as I know, if he tolerated armed militias, they were part of, or friendly to, Hussein and the Bath party.
Comment by Phil
My thought was that "Armies of 40,000 armed men do not appear out of nowhere," so I figured that several of the militias in Iraq must have existed before the invasion. Your comment prompted me to look into the matter further, thanks. Turns out I was right, and wrong.
The Badr Organization did exist before the invasion — in Iran. It's composed mostly of Iraqi exiles who fled Saddam Hussein, and apparently fought against him in the Iran-Iraq war, armed and trained by the government of Iran. It now has some influence in the south, and may still have ties to Iran (but they deny it.) It's the military arm of the SIIC (Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council), the largest Shiite party in Iraq, which is included in the Maliki government.
The Mahdi Army, on the other hand, apparently did not exist until shortly after the invasion, and was originally made up of Shiite students. It's grown to around 60,000 armed men. This is the group that Maliki is working pretty hard to disband.
The Iran-Iraq war and the militarization of Iraq under Saddam Hussein made it so that nearly every man in the country has military training and access to light infantry weapons. However, my assertion that "Saddam tolerated armed militias" was incorrect.

The impact of planning delays and other holding costs on housing affordability
Garner, Gary O. (2008) The impact of planning delays and other holding costs on housing affordability. Queensland Planner, 48(4), pp. 21-27.
|Published Version (PDF 183kB)
Housing affordability is gaining increasing prominence in the Australian socio-economic landscape, despite strong economic growth and prosperity. It is a major consideration for any new development. However, it is multi-dimensional, has many facets, is complex and interwoven. One factor widely held to impact housing affordability is holding costs. Although it is only one contributor, the nature and extent of its impact requires clarification. It is certainly more multifarious than simple calculation of the interest or opportunity cost of land holding. For example, preliminary analysis suggests that even small shifts in the regulatory assessment period can significantly affect housing affordability. Other costs associated with "holding" also impact housing affordability, however these costs cannot always be easily identified. Nevertheless it can be said that ultimately the real impact is felt by those whom can least afford it - new home buyers whom can be relatively easily pushed into the realms of un-affordability.

We're going to an Acerbus render for the second time today and for good reason. Having gone ahead and imagineered an Avant version of the new C7 A6, Acerbus also went ahead and tailroed it in RS spec. As with his usual work, Acerbus kept it with knwon styling cues such as oval rims, RS 5/ TT RS style rear valance and subtle box flares as seen on the current RS 6.
So What Do We Think?
Having first sampled Audi's new A6 just last week, we've become entirely convinced that the new car will bring about an all-new level of prominence for the brand. Given that, we've been particularly curious about what new variants of the A6 will look like. Thanks to photoshop render artist Acerbus, we're now able to see.
So What Do We Think?
One of the things we really like about Acerbus
Ever since Audi first showed its 400-hp Q5 design study at Worthersee in 2009 (and again at the SEMA Show in 2010), blogs and car magazines have theorized at possible S and RS versions of Audi's 5-passenger crossover. Most recently we've stumbled across this RS Q5 render by Andrei Avarvarii who is well known for his renders published in German car magazines like Autobild.
So What Do We Think?
Given we were so captivated by Audi Tradition's Volkswagen Iltis we tested recently in Mont Tremblant , we ran a quick search for examples of the Jeep currently for sale. Result: We found just one after a quick search of the usual places. Like we said... rare, but not impossible to find.
This standard issue army green example has been listed on the Phoenix area Craigslist. It's a '79
Inside Line's European editor Alistair Weaver attended the first British wave of the Audi A6 launch event in Italy recently and, while there, had a chance to sit down with Audi Group design chief Wolfgang Egger. The conversation touched on several future product topics. Here's a quick rundown.

For no doubt a healthy premium, Bamford wraps the LS' body and chain wristband in a military grade PVD coating for that murdered out look. Check
Okay, I'll admit, while we enjoy noting the cool celebs that drive Audis we tend to shy away from posting the more stalkarazzi shots of people filling their car with gas and the like. Acknowledging that, we'd like to apologize to Jessica Biel for posting this shot and a link to another over at Celebrity Cars Blog.

For the advanced computer user, 24in monitors are probably the sweet spot right now, offering the ideal combination of price, resolution and desk space. WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolutions are only just making their way into panel sizes below 23in (at least in desktop monitors; laptops like the Alienware Area51 m15x offer them below 17in), with most 22in monitors still only offering 1,680 x 1,050. The advantages of the higher resolution are not only that it gives you more working area, but it's also ideal for displaying full HD (1080p) content.
Going above 24in, the dot pitch also goes up, meaning your images are no longer as sharp. Meanwhile, adjustability goes down, with only rare cases offering pivot or even height adjustment. Of course, taking things to the next level, you could go for a 30in screen, but these severely tax both your wallet and your graphics card, and use up to twice as much electricity.
The 24in market itself can be roughly divided up into two segments: on the one hand we have the cheap and cheerful displays such as the BenQ G2400W, usually sporting TN panels, minimal inputs and almost no adjustability; on the other are more expensive monitors that use higher quality panels (sPVA/MVA or IPS) featuring potentially more accurate colours and better viewing angles. These usually offer the full range of ergonomic adjustments, and multiple inputs including USB, component and HDMI. An example of this type is the Samsung SyncMaster 245T.
While the former are adequate for 'normal' use and PC gaming, if you require colour accuracy, flexibility or the ability to hook up multiple consoles (especially the Wii, which needs component for the best quality), the latter segment will be for you. And in that case keep reading, because - on paper at least - Dell's latest 2408WFP fulfils all these criteria and more.
In terms of physical design, anyone who is familiar with the previous 2407 will find themselves in well-known territory. But that's by no means a bad thing, as the 2407 was among the better 24in designs of 2007. Of course, Dell has significantly updated some of its monitors' looks with the UltraSharp 2707WFP, but personally, I'm glad the company kept the matte black bezel and sleek silver foot for its flagship 24incher. It's one of those timeless looks that's serious and attractive at the same time, and if it isn't broke, why fix it?
Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor 1920x1200 Dell 2408WFPb$119.95 View Item
Dell 2408WFP Ultrasharp 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor Grade C Refurbished$134.99 View Item

Dell 2408WFP Ultrasharp 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor Grade B Refurbished$224.99 View Item
What on earth is going on with Dell's pricing on this monitor it is constantly up and down a little while ago it was on sale for under 𧹈 now it's up to 𧻪.83 which makes it more expensive than their own new 27" model at 𧹦.
What a complete joke.
That's pretty insane alright, but then Dell are known for this kind of thing. If you want the 24in for a reasonable amount, PCBuyIt's price is still the same. Otherwise, 𧹰 (the current price) is not half bad for a 27in PVA!
Quite frankly, that was an excellent review. Of some 8 reviews I've come across this was knowledgeable, fair and interesting. No need to read the conclusion - the article as a whole was good.
I have a query of Mr Seghers. Your image score of 7 - was it based on the fact that initial viewing quality was perhaps poor formatted and required tweaking to make it a 7/10 or after tweaking the image quality in various screen functions could only make a 7? For if the latter, your review seems to give it - on the basis of image quality - a rather higher figure. Nonetheless, thanks for the quality of the review.
@ChrisH: Sorry for the late reply, didn't notice there was a new comment :(
Glad to hear you liked the review. About the image score, first of all keep in mind that it's relative: a 7 for an MVA/PVA or IPS panel still gives far better imagine quality than a similarly-rated TN.
To answer your question, the 2408WFP came VERY close to scoring an 8, but its factory settings were poor. Tinkering did resolve this to some extent, but to get the most out of it one would need a calibrator which most people don't possess.
If you're still in the market for a 24in monitor, I would seriously consider HP's LP2475w, a review of which is coming soon. And you're welcome :)
Any idea whether Dell will be updating this model in the coming weeks / months? It looks due a refresh. I'm also looking at the HP model, but I'd be interested to know whether anyone knows if a successor to this Dell is imminent

Question: Do I need to empty my gastank?
Hey guys,
I recently got a tune on a flasher that is gonna put my car up to 91 octane. The programming as it is right now is stock so I'm using regular. My tank is half-full. Do I need to empty it and put in 91 before I tune, or can I tuen it andrun on the 87octane for a few days?
i would wait till its less than a quarter tank, than fill up with 91. or throw some octane booster in and fill up with 93 if accessible.
Yup same here, run it out and fill up with 93. Also why did you get a 91oct tune and not a 93oct?
I wasn't sure what to get. Didn't want my car to blow up.
Here in Texas 93 octane is very abundant. Gotta love Texas and our refineries lol
Now I just need to figure out how to drain the gastank...
Just drive it out, it's way too much of a hassle to drain it, trust me on that lol
Ha, yeah, I looked up some videos on youtube and I really don't feel like putting my car up on ramps after getting off work at 1am....I'll just have to take the scenic route home...
Take the scenic route and don't use 5th gear lol
I fill up w/ premium after I ordered my tune, makes it easier.

Mod Hairstyles, The Mod Bobs For Today
Mod hairstyles have been making a comeback tor a number of years now, we have been witnessing a return of some mod styles that were popular many years ago with a new, exciting twist for the modern times that we live in.
The 1960's are thankfully not an exception to this unspoken hair recycling rule. Bobs and pageboys were much sought after looks in that day and are still going strong in present times with a new flair towards the dramatic.
The 1960s Mod Hair
One such mod hairstyle captures the ease and beauty of the pageboy with the versatility and simplistic beauty of the Bob hairstyle and blends it together with a modern touch.
Another terrific element to this hairstyle is that it is practically perfect for all hair types. Whether your locks are thick or fine, this style can be modified to work with your tresses. Very straight to slightly wavy locks will work best with the mod look such as this because the finished look is sleek. However with a little time and a few hair products and tools, you can wear this updated retro, mod hairstyle if you so desire.
Modern women need modern hairstyles to suit the life that they need. It is incredibly important to have a fabulous hairstyle that can take you through every moment of your day and make certain that you always look your best. That however does not mean that you want a boring cut that is out of place anywhere out of the office.
After all, a cookie cutter haircut is not something that most women feel happy with. Instead, these hairstyles give you the freedom to look great while never compromising your individual flair.
The Cut
Although there are of course countless retro hairstyles that you can choose, from, the one that the model is wearing will give you a base idea to work from. This hot retro hairstyle takes very little time for your stylist to achieve and even less time for you to shape into the height of hair fashion each day.
Ask your stylist to give you a cut that is the same length in the front and on the side, your bangs will be long and fall to past your brows. This hairstyle does not make use of layers as you want your locks to be sleek with little movement. As the model has done, you can opt to have select strands left long on either the sides and or back of your head for flair and drama.
Another exceptional way to make your style stand out is through the use of color. This model has an interesting red hue to her locks that provides her look with an extra amount of shine. Make use of color to really create a hair statement.

Arsenal and Sturm Graz have met on just two occasions in competitive games, a two-legged Inter Cities Fairs Cup second round tie in 1970.
Arsenal's 1970 Inter Cities Fairs Cup Final win against Anderlecht ended a period of 17 years without a trophy for the Club.
The following season Arsenal began the defence of their trophy with a 4-2 aggregate win over Lazio in the first round, before being draw to face Austria's Sturm Graz in round two.
Arsenal had originally been drawn at home in the first leg but the considerable risk of snow in Austria by the scheduled date for the second leg brought about a request to swap. The Austrians were also guaranteed a good gate by playing at home first; a heavy defeat at Highbury would have wiped out much of the interest.
In the end it became a very interesting tie indeed. Sturm Graz got their gate, just under 20,000, and responded to their support by winning their home leg 1-0 with a second half effort from Heinz Zamut. Ray Kennedy redressed the balance at Highbury, but the unheralded Austrians rose to the occasion, despite having to substitute their goalkeeper in the first half.
Arsenal for their part were guilty of wasteful finishing, and the match seemed bound for extra time when the 90 minutes were up.
However, the dutch referee Boosten added on five minutes for injuries and stoppages, and in the fifth minute of that time George Graham's volley was handled on the line. Peter Storey's nerve stood the test again from the penalty spot, and Arsenal were through 2-1 on aggregate. Overall it had hardly been a performance to savour.
Arsenal went on to defeat Beveren 4-0 on aggregate before going out to FC Koln on the away goals rule at the Quarter-Final stage.

Article - Office of College Advancement
Ohlone expected to change long criticized election system
By Matthew Artz, Oakland Tribune.
Sunday, June 13, 2010—Reprinted from Inside Bay Area: The Argus. Correction published Tuesday, June 15, 2010.
Fremont — Ohlone College leaders this week are poised to officially do away with the school's long-criticized system for electing board members.
The seven-member board is expected Wednesday to approve a resolution to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters, ending its system in which candidates vie for specific seats on the board instead of competing in an open field, with the top overall vote-getters winning election.
The new system would debut in November when four seats are up for grabs — two representing Newark and two representing the entire district, composed of Newark, Fremont and part of Union City.
"Before, you had some (incumbents) who never had any challengers," board member John Weed said of old election system, in which the seats were numbered one through seven and candidates had to declare which seat they would seek.
Ohlone trustees voted to scrap numbered seats in February after nearly two decades of pressure from the League of Women Voters of the Bay Area.
The league argued that numbered seats were undemocratic because strong incumbents were rarely challenged, while challengers flocked to contest seats that were vacant or held by a weaker incumbent. The college is reverting to its original voting system designed to ensure that Newark residents are represented on the board.
Two of the seven seats will be decided only by Newark voters and represented only by Newark residents. The other five seats will be voted on by the entire district, but restricted to candidates from Fremont and Union City.
This November, the top two finishers for the Newark seats and the top two finishers for the districtwide seats will be elected to the board.
"We feel that it's a better system for the voters," said Miriam Keller of the League of Women Voters.
The Ohlone board adopted numbered seats about 1979 to target an incumbent who colleagues wanted off the board, said Weed, who has served on the board since 1977 and always has opposed the numbered-seat system.
Just two years ago, the board voted 4-3 to keep numbered seats, but two members of that majority — Bob Brunton and Trisha Tahmasbi — no longer are on the board.
When the league again forced the issue this year, there was strong support for making a change.
"Before, you were actually targeting a specific person," board member Rich Watters said. "It seemed very confrontational to me."
Watters and Bill McMillin both say they are planning to run for re-election in November as the two Newark representatives. The two Fremont board members up for election this year, Garrett Yee and Weed, haven't decided if they will run for the two seats that will be open to a districtwide vote.
Meanwhile Brunton, who lost his 2008 re-election bid, says he is strongly considering running in the districtwide race.
The league isn't finished advocating for more open government reforms with the college.
The college should start televising its workshops and provide more information about topics on its meeting agenda, Keller said. When the board first approved the election changes in February, it was listed on the meeting agenda only as "Recommended Election Policy Approval."
Correction: Ohlone College
By Bay Area News Group.
Tuesday, June 15, 2010—Reprinted from Inside Bay Area: The Argus.
The story "Ohlone set to change election system" in Sunday's Argus incorrectly explained the new procedure for electing Ohlone College board members. The entire district will vote both for the two seats contested by Newark residents and the five seats contested by residents of Fremont and Union City. The story incorrectly stated that the two Newark seats would only be voted on by Newark residents.

More than a hundred years have passed since an unknown English poet, named Edward FitzGerald, sent his MS of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám to the Editor of Fraser's Magazine, only to have it returned to him after two years' delay unpublished. Since then no poet has succeeded in communicating, to any comparable degree in English verse, the beauty, wit, and originality which is at once apparent to anyone who can read the Persian poets in their own language.
The author of this book, John Charles Edward Bowen, is a writer who, in the field of Persian literature, has gone on, so to speak, from FitzGerald. For he has presented in English verse a selection from five centuries of Persian poetry, and has added to his renderings a series of fascinating pen portraits of the original poets.
His book contains a frontispiece specially painted for it by Aqa'I Sha'isteh of Shiraz, decorations by a Polish artist with long experience of the Persian scene, and a preface by a distinguished Persian critic, Aqa'is S H Taqizadeh, lately Imperial Iranian Ambassador at the Court of St James's.
This third, revised, edition has been reset and re-made after being unavailable for some years.
A selected few, but all delightful. This little book from the past is fascinating on two levels. The original poetry and the reviewer's own era.

She also serves on the board of directors of the D. Augustus Straker Bar Association, a bar association in Oakland County focused on increasing minority representation in the legal profession and facilitating equal justice for underserved members of the Oakland County community. She also has participated as a leader in the State Bar of Michigan's orientation on professionalism for new law students
Before joining Cooley's faculty, Moore held a position as partner and shareholder at the firm of Moore Vestrand & Pozehl in Southfield, Mich.
"It is an honor and a privilege to serve the legal profession and the public in this capacity," Moore said of her work with the AGC.

Slammed my head...when is it cause for real concern?
With what happened to Schumacher and others when do you know if its something really serious
I hit my head after wiping trying to avoid someone. Had helmet but felt a slight "brain rattle". 6 hours later I'm feeling OK but a sliiiight headache.
I'm not a doctor so take my advice with a grain of salt. A headache after a heavy hit to the head is normal, in which case some advil and sleep is a good idea. If you are seeing lights or spots then you might have a concussion, and I would suggest taking a break for a few days.
If the headache gets worse, goto the hospital.
Thanks guys. I'm more worried about a bleed ala Schumacher and Natasha Richardson
That's why you pay attention, if you think it was hard enough.... goto the hospital.
If things start getting worse for no reason.... like you're lying down and you notice your head starts to hurt like crazy, goto the hospital.
as you also know when you have a serious concussion you need to be woken up regularly
Know how and what to look for in a concussion. There is a lot more to them then was previously thought by the medical profession. Used to be you got your bell rung, take 2 aspirin, quit whining and deal with it, not so much anymore

And I promise that if the "cat friend" you are shopping for is YOU, I won't tell.
Uncovet, this very delightful bangle. For your cat friend who loves arm candy.
A cat bowl! It is on Etsy and in lots of different colors! This bowl is great to hold things like pennies or THIS RING BELOW:
Yep, this ring would fit perfectly in that cute little bowl. Also, if you want to spend all your money on cat rings, definitely look up "cat rings" on Pinterest. This ring is on Etsy, too!
Hey, look! It's me! I'm wearing the cat tights that I love so much. I bought them on eBay for really, really cheap. I don't regret it.
See, look? SOOO cute! The back has a tail! TWO TAILS, one on each leg! I gotta wear these again soon.
Okay mooooore Etsy finds, sorry! But, it's just the best place to shop for your cat friend. This print is 1. really super cute and 2. really super true.
Another one of my goodies! I bought this from a gashapon machine in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This kitty fits on your finger whenever you want it to. And it's also a keychain.
Another of my own cat gifts. This keychain of a lil guy puking out a .. gold coin? MAYBE?! I saw the machine in Harajuku while I was shopping in Japan and seriously could not walk away from it. Could you?! Here is the machine.
I'm happy that I got the gold one, but do you see the lounging one at the top?! If anyone knows Japanese, please tell me what they are all saying. Now this little kitty barfer is living on my 3DS.
Cat creepers. I swear to God, I don't know why I don't have these already. In all my years of living, including like six of those years working at Hot Topic, I never have owned a pair of kitty creepers. Buy your cat friend these shoes and she will love you forever.
This was a gift to me! The family we stayed with for a few days in Atsgui, Japan gave us this tin to bring home. Hello Kitty on the front is adorable and the nori snacks (ume flavored!!) were so incredibly delicious. Now I'm trying to figure out what I want to use the tin for now that we ate all the treats. Also, trying to find out how to order more of these snacks in the US.
This says that it is a dress, but I think it would be the cutest over leggings and with an over-sized cardigan to go with it. However you wear it, it is pretty much the best.
This Lucipurr Women's Tee from Black Craft has been on my wishlist for about a million years now. Why don't I have it?! WHY!? Buy this for your cat friend that also wants to throw some runes with you. Like me.
Ok I just found this picture on Pinterest and can't get enough of it. If you are buying gifts for your cat friend, go ahead and print this out and - ta da - instant card! Sign your name on the back, draw up a few cartoon cat paws, and there you go. Perfect DIY. 1. Print it. 2. Done.

It's statements like this that perplex me What exactly gave you the idea that I feel I'm "Better" than anyone else? Is this simple "misinterpretation" of my board conduct or personality, or do you have some sort of personal beef with me? How can you make statements like "God Complex" and the like and expect that the guy on the receiving end won't take it as a "Baiting" insult? Lets address these statements ...
God complex huh? Last time I checked, I put my pants on the same way you do. Unless of course we're talking about the days where my pants are so stiff from bondo and fiberglass resin that I have to stand them up and jump into them
Look, I know I'm expendable. What exactly ever gave you the impression otherwise? I know "There's always a bigger fish". And no matter where I go, there's always going to be someone that can slap me down. The same goes for you too
FP, you have some serious guilt issues man. Move Along
And for the record, if I have a personal beef with someone, it will be discussed in person so that there is no miscommunication of feelings via typed words.
Here's my .2c on recasting.
If you want to keep stuff from being recast, don't sell it. Someone either through malicious intent or plain ingnorance will at some point copy your stuff (or attmept to). That is true.
But is that really the attitude you want people with access to great stuff to have? If so, then guess what. Those great items will never see the light of day and you'll have to make do with your janky innacurate scratch builds.
You see, only a small percent of this community has access to the good stuff and most of those people will never offer those highly sought after items for the fear of someone recasting. And the community suffers as a whole for it.
The only way anyone can offer anything of quality is if the prop community takes a stance to protect those who make these rare items available.
It's not whether you scratch build it or not that is important here. It is the person responsible for bringing the rare item into the populace that deserves protection for the item he is bringing because without him...
If you cannot have access to that great item, as much as it sucks, you have to bite your lip and suck it up. Maybe the next great item will be made available to you. However be mindful that your position on recasting ethics will place you in a catagory of whether or not you can be trusted.
That's a big part of the reason why some people get stuff and others don't.
And we are watching.
Mirax, I believe you can recast soft goods as well by copying patterns of a sold soft good part. That's just as bad as dipping something in silicone. The same concerns I have of releasing a fabric part are the same ones I have for a resin piece.
AMEN!..Perfect post Gino....makes sense to me..
I think the big difference between the resin and soft parts is, that even to 'reverse engineer' a jumpsuit or ammo pouch, you still need a certain skill set to reproduce that item. With resin, anyone can watch a half hour DVD on casting then buy the supplies and make a garbage recast to sell cheap. Maybe I am wrong to think that was the thinking behind Mirax's statement. I agree that both are equally offensive and neither should be tolerated, I think the cost/benefits would push most unscrupulous people towards the hard parts when it comes to knockoffs.
I don't really want to continue this indefinitely, we eventually should think about an endpoint for all of this. I don't think we are going to all come to a single unified consensus on this topic or a lot of others for that matter. It's been good to air our grievances but it's distracting from the topic at hand. Costuming and having fun.
Man, I love these threads. I wish I wasn't at work, so I could post an even longer response. I swear this is mostly on-topic...
Why do folks like wizardofflight contribute incredibly comprehensive armor and helmet templates? Why have I spent several weekends drawing ESB paint scratch templates? Why do people post helpful tips and techniques in progress threads? For example:
We do it so that TDH members can expand their skill base and multiply their talents. And so we can all make great costumes!
I don't have the time or the space to do sculpting or mold making (though I studied it in college), so I try to contribute to the SW fan community in other ways where I am capable. I'm generally against the idea of someone not receiving credit where it's due. However, people here should remember that the ultimate goal is that everyone here gets to make progress on their costumes, and everybody has the best resources to do so.
I'd rather see folks who make a hardware part here encourage other members to pick up the manufacture later. I'd rather see 30 people making aluminum parts, 30 people making armor and helmets, 30 people making soft parts, etc. based off of the best reference designs. Users like WOF (for example) enable that kind of propagation of ideas and skill.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I'll go back to drawing decals and fabric patterns and will continue posting what I make for everyone to use.
I am with Count Dookie. For me, it is more important that the few finds I have made are known by the general populous than the fact that I found them is known. I do get a bit irritated when others try to take credit for my efforts, but in general I just want the information out there and available so people can use it to make a better costume.
True but alot of people act as if we own these prop rights, no matter if we sculpted, catsed it off an orignal......ect I think we take for granted that we're ALLOWED to do this and LFL doesnt shut all of this down.
As ive said before recasting is wrong but we shouldnt have this above all attitude and pretend that these are OUR own pieces that we created. In some form or another we stealing others designs from the movie and we lucky to be allowed to be even doing this without any license.
And for the record I think Fett Pride has take the right approach as a dealer and not hiding his products but mass producing for TDH and making his name be known as the go to guy. Ive seen to many times in the past members offering top notch stuff to only sell them to a select few, which IMO is heading down the wrong road.

Most of the time, when you see people only selling to a select few, it's because it is to people who have gained their trust. Can you blame them?
Also, we all know that none of us own the "true rights" to any of this stuff. No one is arguing that. But for people who are lucky enough to have obtained "the good stuff" to offer it to the populace, the only way they are going to continue to do that is if they feel that what they are bringing forth is going to be protected from mass distrubution. That's what it really boils down to.
Trust, and a feeling of security that they aren't just giving away their opportunity to sell or trade their special item for other things in the future.
If everyone has it, it will have lost it's special-ness, therefore losing its value, and therefore losing it's power to open doors for new acqisitions or selling value.
If you've never had a rare item (prop-wise), I'm sure it is difficult to understand the reasoning behind what I'm saying.
Trust me when I say that if your goal is to stay in this hobby and collect the rare coveted items, the only way that is going to happen is by realizing the importance of discretion, limited runs, and CONTROL over the distribution of the rare item to not fall into the hands of someone who is going to mass produce it.
You want these rare items to come available to you, they come with a price in the form of a recasting ethic. You can't have it both ways.
If you take shady means to get your trinket now, you might be serving yourself for the immediate, but ultimately will be doing a HUGE disservice for yourself later because no one will trust you to have any of their rare items.
The bringer forth of the rare item must be protected AS IF he were the original artist otherwise they never will bring them forth.
In my best soup nazi voice, "No super accurate rocket pack for you!"
Cast away my friends, cast away. But don't recast away.
Wow last night we set a new record for the most members online at the same time.

WET200 External Antenna - Possible trouble
I just purchased a WET200. I understand it will transmit on one antenna and receive on two antennas. With this WET200 I observe only one antenna will receive. If I disconnect the left antenna and do a site survey, the various signals are excellent. Put the left antenna back on. I then disconnect the right antenna and again do a site survey, the WET200 receives no signals. Is it defective?
Many thanks in advanced for you help.

American striker Kenny Cooper appears to be one step closer to returning to English soccer with the report that second-level Cardiff City
has agreed a fee of around $4 million with MLS.
Cooper, who back his pro career in the Manchester United system, scored twice for FC Dallas in its 4-0 win over Los Angeles on Sunday to give him 11 goals in 18 games this season.
FCD coach Schellas Hyndman remained hopeful of keeping Cooper. "I think his heart is in Dallas," he said. "He would love to play here. We're trying to do everything we can to make sure he stays with
this club. Kenny is very important for this team, He is definitely someone we want to keep."

The Arlington ban was instituted by the track's parent company, Churchill Downs Inc., which has refused to allow Houghton ride at any of its racetracks due to a pending Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau investigation into suspicious betting patterns on several races, including three in which Houghton rode.
Houghton rode at Hawthorne Race Course in Chicago this spring and is currently riding at Indiana Downs.
An IRB hearing on Houghton's ban, held May 3, failed to produce information that could implicate Houghton of wrongdoing, but while evidence was not presented that could justify denying Houghton a racing license, the IRB does not have jurisdiction over Arlington's rights as a private property to ban individuals.
Houghton filed a May 24 lawsuit against Arlington because of the ban, demanding damages stemming from loss of income and damage to his career and reputation.

My advice may not be appropriate for you. That's ok. You are just fine how you are and I am the right kind of me.
I read this article--I wish I could find it for you. I think it was in ReadyMade magazine. The author was a child in this kind of situation and if I remember correctly it broke his heart when the arrangement broke up after some years and he lost his "sisters."
What about it appeals to you? (I'm asking because I really want to know.)
I also say find the poly families thread. While I have seen it work out beautifully, I have also seen implosions. I think expecting or forcing a relationship into that mold is a recipe for disaster, but if it naturally grows that direction it could be wonderful for all. If you haven't even found another couple you like, I think expecting to end up in a cohousing/comarriage situation is premature.

If you haven't even found another couple you like, I think expecting to end up in a cohousing/comarriage situation is premature.
Few things to point out here.
Cohousing is a term for a community-minded neighborhood, has nothing to do with a status of one marriage.
I'm me. In love with this guy. We're bringing up two girls: Big A (8) and Little A (3)
I've been poly for 13 years, so I know what the terms are. I've never had any interest in living with anyone besides DH. Living with others is a different kind of dynamic, and I think of it as having to do with housing/parenting expectations versus those of open marriage situations.
Consider carefully the challenge involved in finding people and really looking at what the other partners-- your DH and both of the other potential partners would get out of such a relationship. It can work, but every additional adult in a household quadruples the complexity in my experience.
I don't think there's anything wrong with quad relationships at all... I do think they have the potential to become very complicated, but that's true of almost any romantic arrangement. Like others, I think that in order for things to go smoothly EVERYONE has to be on board 100%. This can't be something agreed to for the sake of keeping a partner happy. This has to be something that all four parties deeply desire on their own.
However, I'll be honest. It sounds very much like you are not satisfied with your relationship with your husband. You are dissatisfied with things that apparently can't or won't change. I really do not thing adding 2 more people to your relationship is going to improve anything in that respect. If anything (and it sounds like your husband may have realized this over the past couple months), it has the potential to be quite devastating to your husband. When you turn to others for so much of your needed stimulation, but reserve the "intelligent conversation" for him. Just the fact of knowing he's not enough would be incredibly hurtful and detrimental to any sort of healthy relationship, IMO.
Here's the current poly families thread: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...highlight=poly
If you search on "poly" in Advanced Search and check off "Queer Parenting" as the subforum, you should find the threads you're looking for.
I know cohousing means something different, but I do know triads that live together and triads that although they have had a marriage ceremony, live apart. Differentiating the two for me is the housing situation. (I only know a quad that lives apart). Sharing physical space with more people adds complexity on top of that added by the long term commitment. Can you start with arranging ways outside of your marriage to meet some of your other needs, like an exercise partner? It just sounds like from couple unsure about poly to quad is an awfully big leap to start. Try a non-romantic exercise partner, maybe then a romantic situation, let it grow a little slower.
My advice may not be appropriate for you. That's ok. You are just fine how you are and I am the right kind of me.
If you find that you need intensity, etc., and your husband is open to the idea, I think your best bet is to find some people that you, and you alone, can casually date. That should give you a chance for the physical stimulation you want, when and as you want it, with minimal demands placed on you, your spouse, and the people you're dating.
If you aren't allowed to casually date then how to you think you would ever find people to form a long-term commitment with? I've been around/involved with poly to one degree or another (I go through monogamous periods) for 11 years. I've never ever seen an insta-relationship turn out well. In an insta-relationship (going from not dating to 'married') you are not really having interactions with a person you are having interactions with your fantasies about that person. No good can come of that.
Quite frankly if you can't date you can't add anyone to your life in a realistic way. I think this just isn't going to happen for you, sorry.
|I think that you should more directly address the issues you have with your husband as your partner, and your marriage in general. You say he is very intellectually stimulating, but does not stimulate you in other ways. Are those deal breakers? Can you find a way to dial down the intensity of one of your physical activities and enjoy it with him? Can you find some good friends (non-sexual) who would share those activities with you?
I don't think any partner is going to give you 100% of what you need, but I also don't think they are supposed to.
This. Full disclosure, poly is not something that would ever happen in my marriage. It would be completely unacceptable due to faith and personal reasons. So I am looking at this from the perspective of the spouse who would be saying "No".
Some of these issues are not sexual, do you need to add sexual/lifetime partners into the mix in order to get them met?? I thought it was interesting that someone who is living a poly lifestyle pointed out what I immediately thought--in adding two more people, you will be adding complexity to the relationship, and they will have needs too. From your post it looks like you are wanting this for yourself. The fact is, when you have any sort of committment or partnership, you have to be a giver as well. Are you prepared to add two more relationships to which you will need to give as much as you take, in order to keep them healthy? Are you currently practicing this sort of giving and need-meeting with your husband, as well as looking to have your needs met?
my friend has a bf and a dh, they are looking for a 4th and have been together 7 years. a quad is my ideal situation.

I was impressed on one play where Bryant had run through the entire Oconee defense, but Laguins managed to finally put him on the ground with what seemed like total determination. Anything less and Bryant would have scored.
Laguins is long, but will need to fill out. He played a fair amount at outside linebacker, and you could tell that he got knocked back at times you didn't want him to get knocked back - either making a tackle or attempting to defeat a block. I kind of felt like he played too tall, and that he needed to get better pad level on both defense and offense. Obviously, he's still raw.
Let's keep in mind, too, that this is the first game of his junior season. He is going to grow over time. He's already 6-1, but only at about 205. His length is what is going to help him in the future. You can see that he's going to grow into a body that is much larger than he's got right now.
I also thought he didn't get much help from his teammates on the defensive side of the ball. I liked the fact that he was also a running back in Oconee's offensive system. It shows me that he's athlete enough to get back there and carry the ball. He's not a running back, but I throw up a red flag on a player of his athleticism who does not play more than one position at a high school the size of Oconee County.
Overall, it was a fine, but not great night for Laguins. He's going to have to grow into his body more, and that will help his deal with some of the issues I talked about above.

If this happens to you, don't ignore it – shutting down can be an early warning sign of serious damage to come if the cause of overheating is not fixed.
It can create software problems too – just like powercuts, sudden shutdowns may cause corruption in Windows files (e.g. the registry) and stop Windows starting up.
An overheating computer will typically shut down or reboot (restart) by itself – in more serious cases this may happen just a few seconds after the computer starts up.
Once the computer has restarted it will likely stay on for even less time (because it is already hot to begin with) e.g. if it shuts down after an hour and you restart immediately, it may only stay on for a few minutes – because the cooling fans can't dissipate the heat quickly enough.
Other signs may include random BSOD ('Blue Screen Of Death') crashes or increased noise (as fans in the computer have to spin more quickly to try to cool it down).
Using HWMonitor To Check If A Computer Is Overheating
HWMonitor (Hardware Monitor) is a free program that reads the main health sensors in computers. It displays the temperatures and speed of fans, as well as voltages and battery power/health. The program handles the most common sensor chips and can read the thermal sensors found in modern processors, as well has hard drive and video card (GPU) temperatures.
Download the portable (.zip) version of HWMonitor from the developers here – the portable version is highly recommended as it requires no installation. It is available in 32bit or 64bit versions.
[Note: the installation version may contain additional software e.g. the Ask.com toolbar/search engine will be installed automatically if you do not opt out.]
Unzip (extract) the portable zip file and run the HWMonitor.exe program – after a short delay, the Hardware Monitor program opens. The current data is displayed in real time (Value) as well as the Minimum (Min) and Maximum (Max) values since the program was opened – this lets you track how temperatures change during use.
An example is shown below:
What Do The Values Mean?
Detailed interpretation of the values may require you to search manufacturer or user forums to find the normal (and maximum) operating temperatures of the components in your own computer.
However, a general guide to the more important values is as follows:
CPUFANIN0 – the CPU (processor) fan – should be a positive value. A value of 0 may be a faulty reading but visually check if the fan is spinning.
SYSFANIN – the system fan – normally a positive value but not all computers will display a reading.
CPU Temperatures
AMD CPUs typically run hotter than Intel CPUs. Newer CPUs typically run cooler than older designs.
Intel and AMD guidelines for maximum temperatures under full load vary from 75 to 90 degrees depending on the CPU design but, ideally, it should be 30 – 60 degrees max
Hard Drive Temperatures
Vary by hard drive but typically should be 25 – 40 degrees. Over 50 degrees should be considered dangerous.
Graphics Card Temperatures
Vary hugely depending on the card. 40 – 70 degrees is common.
No Data In HWMonitor?
If HWMonitor does not recognize your components or their sensors it can't report on their temperatures.
A good alternative is Speccy which I reviewed here – although primarily a system info tool to report what components are in a computer, Speccy also reports temperature data for many components.
If you are unable to start Windows, most computers display basic temperature info in the BIOS – usually accessed by pressing Delete or F2 button on startup.
Also consider the most obvious physical signs:
- PC – from the outside of the case, is the power supply too hot to touch. Are any of the metal plates at the back (especially if there is a separate graphics card) too hot to touch?
- Laptop – does the bottom/side of the laptop feel like it will burn through your trousers…
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, it is likely that the computer is overheating.
HWMonitor is a useful free program to check if a computer is overheating – it can report and track temperatures of key components with compatible sensors.
5 Responses to "How To Check If A Computer Is Overheating"
Two comments for this. One, what to do if it is overheating??? Since it should be built to cool itself as it runs, how is anyone to change this problem or resolve it? My laptop overheats even in cool weather so in summer it is a real problem, since it is also my primary working computer. I have not found a cooling solution, from cooling pads to external fans.
Second, the install for the software tries to change people's toolbars & search to Ask.com, automatically checks YES & gives a "fake" accept this agreement to use Ask.com to install the software dialogue that would make the non-tech user think it was required to install the HWMonitor. Not sure if it had this in it when you recommended it, if so I'd be very upset that you didn't warn people before download. In any case my comment may help others avoid it if they see it before they click download anyway. You might want to add this to your article to help them get around it too. I hate software that has these often spyware, malware & other dangerous auto-opt-in add ons during installs.
Hi, I turned on my computer this morning after it being off all night and it gave me the "cpu is overheating" message… I had barely turned it on, so there's no way it was actually over heating, right? I've noticed no signs like random restarting or anything… and I regularly clean my pc with compressed air. I set my BIO to ignore it and that's how I got in, but could anything else be causing it? and am I right to ignore it? My brother in-law built this pc for me in January, but him and my sister are getting a divorce now so It's a bit awkward to ask him anything…
You can check the internet for information about your computer. Then check information about the cpu cooler (fan & heatsink). Then check the forums for a better (higher wattage) cooler. Also check for instructions on how to change the cpu cooler.
If you use "cpu-z" for the computer information you can ask "Tom's Hardware forums" for advice. You will need the information about your laptop for anyone to be able to assist you. Ebay has many cpu coolers low priced just be sure it is the one you require before purchasing.

Grass-Powered Lawn Mower Cuts Dependence On Fossil Fuels
EcoMow could provide a sustainable way to cut the grass and power other appliances.
Mowing the grass results in a lot of wasted biomass that could probably be put to better use. EcoMow is a small self-fueled mower and grass pellet harvester that uses freshly-cut grass as fuel, and processes the biomass that it does't use into a dried pellet form which can be used for other applications such as heating or power generation.
Even though Jason Force, the company's founder, has tested the robot and discovered that consumers love the idea, investors aren't so keen. They think it's too far from what consumers are used to, which put simply, means there is a risk it won't make enough money. In an interview with Gigaom, Force explained further:
"A lot of work would have to go into this product to make it safe; don't run over your pets or children, don't run into the street and cause an accident. The concern was we would get to the end of the $2 million development cycle and the customers would just decide they didn't like it."
In the meantime, EcoMow will produce a larger mower that will harvest hay fields for fuel pellets, something investors are willing to back. He hasn't forgotten about the consumer mower though, with plans to develop it from the beginning of 2016. A small model designed to manicure lawns less than an acre in size might cost $500 and weigh less than 10 pounds.
Beyond simple garden aesthetics, Force also sees the EcoMow as a potentially powerful tool for developing nations. Instead of building a power plant and biomass processor, plus buying a harvester to collect biomass, communities could use a version of the EcoMow for all three.
"An application I'm pursuing is having little micro grids set up in East Africa where the units would go harvest during the night and then come back and plug themselves in to a power unit during the day and supply power to the local region during the day," he told Gigaom.
