beany323 - Tuesday, January 11, 2005 - linkWow, I have been planning on getting a new computer (from Cyberpower) and was like, ok get the PCIe...then i see the SLI....so i read up on it..now i am confused! I bought a hp 2 years ago, and now i would be lucky if i could use it to play WoW (i tried already, to old a video card, anyways) i am willing to spend some money but dont want to get stuck with a big paperweight. I thought the idea with 2 cards sounded good (i was even thinking might as well get 2 ultra's :) ) but not sure now... anymore thoughts? Just from reading this thread, you guys know WAY more then i could ever sit down and read...so thanks in advance!!
endrebjorsvik - Tuesday, January 11, 2005 - linkWould it be possible to use two 3D1-cards in non-SLi-mode and still use all the GPU's? Then you would be alble to get serious performance in triple-/quad-monitor-systems. Reply
sxr7171 - Sunday, January 09, 2005 - linkI thought the whole point of SLI was to offer an upgrade path that allowed consumers to stagger their spending by upgrading their performance in two stages. Buying a single card with two GPUs that costs the same and performs worse than a single 6800 ultra is quite pointless.
There are absolutely no situations where a dual 6600GT card outperforms a single 6800 ultra card. There are no synergies in having two GPUs on the same card and no incentive to buy such a card. Reply
PrinceGaz - Saturday, January 08, 2005 - linkJust in cast that sounded abit harsh, all I will say is would you perosnally swap a 6800GT based card for that 3D1 multi-core card? Reply
PrinceGaz - Saturday, January 08, 2005 - linkI'm sorry but I still see no sensible reason whatsoever to buy a dual-core 6600GT card when a 6800GT could be bought for a similar price. I can see lots of stupid reasons for buying the dual-core 6600GT, but nothing whatsoever people have said in the comments or in the review give a good reason for choosing it in preference to a 6800GT. I'm afraid I'm going to have to jump on a bit of a bandwagon and wonder if everything reviewed here is always considered good generally, as I can't remember the last time something got a well deserved slating. Which this 3D1 should have been given because of the hardware compatibility issues, and also software compatibility issues with games that aren't SLI recognised, or the fact it will work at half speed (one core) with games nVidia hasn't bothered looking at.
When you review stuff you see good and bad, but all we ever read about here are products which are great, or products which will be very good after they fix this and that. The only review recently which had any constructive criticism was that of normal 6600GT's where you looked at the fan-mounting method. Maybe you only get to see the very best products because that is all the manufacturers will send you (which explains why there was no mid-range/budget memory round-up as they don't want to send a 512MB ValueWhatnot stick that will perform worse than everything else).
What I'd have said about the 3D1 after looking at the performance is that they shouldn't have bothered with a 6600GT dual-core, but instead have done an NV41 based dual-core card. You'd be a fool to buy the 3D1 the way it as at the moment.
Review quotes like "Until then, bundling the GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard and 3D1 is a very good solution for Gigabyte Those who want to upgrade to PCI Express and a multi-GPU solution immediately have a viable option here. They get the motherboard needed to run an SLI system and two GPUs in one package with less hassle." make me wonder if someone paid you to say that. Reply
AtaStrumf - Saturday, January 08, 2005 - link*loose some performance* - compared to a more powerful but equally priced single chip solution Reply
AtaStrumf - Saturday, January 08, 2005 - linkjohnsonx the reason for buying one card with 2 6600 GTs or two separate 6600GTs instead of one 6800 GT may be in the fact that you get very close to 6800 *Ultra* performance, provided you don't use AA or Aniso in newer games. Granted OC-ing 6800GT will do the same + give you AA/Aniso performance od the same level.
I guess the reason to go for SLi is in its ability to provide a cheap upgrade path and not for two GPUs to be put on the same board and save you 0$ + loose some performance. Gigybyte may have missed an important point here. What they should be making is one board 2 x 6800 GTs, since that provides unheard of performance in a single card (something NEW) and/or at least lower the price of 3D1 to make it cheaper than 2 separate cards and of course make it work in non SLi boards. Simply put, give it some tangible extra value over 2 board SLi solution and not the other way around as it is now - only two monitors and such. Reply
MadAd - Saturday, January 08, 2005 - linkNvidia are looking more and more like 3dfx every day - big boards, sli, late with real releases
Id prefer an AIW X900SLI board tho Reply
glennpratt - Saturday, January 08, 2005 - linkjohnsonx - I agree, though I have a theory. If your like me and the 10 other computers in your house/immediate family consist of hand me down parts from a couple primary computers, it would be nice to have two decent video cards when you upgrade next. Still stupid... Reply
johnsonx - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkWhat I find puzzling about this whole SLI thing right now (not this dual-GPU card in particular) is all the people buying an ultra-expensive SLI board and dual 6600GT's to build a new system. I understand buying an SLI board and one 6600GT or 6800GT to allow for future upgrade, and I even understand buying SLI and dual 6800GT's for maximum performance (though it sure seems like overkill and overspending to me).
But buying dual 6600GT's on purpose just doesn't make any sense at all. I guess they just want to say they have it? Even though it costs far more and performs the same as a non-SLI board with a 6800GT....
This particular dual-GPU card doesn't make any sense right now either, for all the obvious reasons.
Maybe later....
sprockkets - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkThanks for the clarification. But also some were using the Server Intel chipset cause it had 2 16x slots, instead of the desktop chipset to use SLI. Like the article said though, the latest drivers only like the nvidia sli chipet. Reply
ChineseDemocracyGNR - Friday, January 07, 2005 - link#29,
The 6800GT PCI-E is probably going to use a different chip (native PCI-E) than the broken AGP version.
One big problem with nVidia's SLI that I don't see enough people talking about is this:
Jeff7181 - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkWhy is everyone thinking dual core CPU's and dual GPU video cards is so far fetched? Give it 6-12 months and you'll see it. Reply
RocketChild - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkI seem to recall ATi was frantically working on a solution like this to bypass Nvidia's SLI solution and I am not reading anything about their progress. From the position the article points to BIOS hurdles, does it look like we are going to have to wait for ATi to release their first chipset to support a multi-GPU ATi card? Anyone here have any information or speculations? Reply
LoneWolf15 - Friday, January 07, 2005 - link25, the reason you'd want to buy two 6600GT's instead of one 6800GT is that PureVideo functions work completely on the 6600GT, whereas they are partially broken on the 6800GT. If this solution didn't work in only Gigabyte boards, I'd certainly consider it myself. Reply
skiboysteve - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkIm confused as to why anyone would buy this card at all. Your paying the same price as a 6800GT and getting the same performance with all the issues that go with Gigabyte SLI. thats retarded. Reply
ceefka - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkAre there any cards available for the remaining PCI-E slots? Reply
Ivo - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkObviously, the future belongs to the matrix CPU/GPU (IGP?) solutions with optimized performance/power consumption ratios. But there is still a relatively long way (2 years?) to go. The recent NVIDIA's NF4-SLI game is more marketing, then technical in nature. They are simply checking the market, concurrence, and … enthusiastic IT society :-) The response is moderate, as the challenge is. But the excitements are predetermined.
Happy New Year 2005!
PrinceGaz - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkI don't understand why anyone would want to buy a dual-core 6600GT rather than a similarly priced 6800GT. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkI appologize for the omission of pictures from the article on publication.
We have updated the article with images of the 3D1 and the K8NXP-SLI for your viewing pleasure.

johnsonx - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkTo #19:
from page 1:
"....even if the 3D1 didn't require a special motherboard BIOS in order to boot video..."
In other words, the mainboard BIOS has to do something special to deal with a dual-GPU card, or at least the current implementation of the 3D1.
What NVidia should do is:
1. Update their drivers to allow SLI any time two GPU's are found, whether they be on two boards or one.
2. Standardize whatever BIOS support is required for the dual GPU cards to POST properly, and include the code in their reference BIOS for the NForce4.
At least then you could run a dual-GPU card on any NForce4 board. Maybe in turn Quad-GPU could be possible on an SLI board.
bob661 - Friday, January 07, 2005 - link#19
I think the article mentioned a special bios is needed to run this card. Right now only Gigabyte has this bios. Reply

FinalFantasy - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkPoor Intel :( Reply
jcromano - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkFrom the article, which I enjoyed very much:
"The only motherboard that can run the 3D1 is the GA-K8NXP-SLI."
Why exactly can't the ASUS SLI board (for example) use the 3D1? Surely not just because Gigabyte says it can't, right?
phaxmohdem - Friday, January 07, 2005 - linkATI Rage Fury MAXX Nuff said...
lol #6 I think you're on to something though. Modern technology is becoming incredibly power hungry I think that more steps need to be taken to reduce power consumption and heat production, however with the current pixel pushing slugfest we are witnessing FPS has obviously displaced these two worries to our beloved Video card manufacturers. At some point though when consumers refuse to buy the latest Geforce or Radeon card with a heatsink taking up 4 Extra PCI slots, I think that they will get the hint. I personally consider a dual slot heatsink solution ludicrous.
Nvidia, ATI, Intel, AMD... STOP RAISING MY ELECTRICITY BILL AND ROOM TEMPERATURE!!!! Reply
KingofCamelot - Friday, January 07, 2005 - link#16 I'm tired of you people acting like SLI is only doable with an NVIDIA motherboard, which is obviously not the case. SLI only applies to the graphics cards. On motherboards SLI is just a marketing term for NVIDIA. Any board with 2 16x PCI-E connectors can pull off SLI with NVIDIA graphics cards. NVIDIA's solution is unique because they were able to split a 16x line and give each connector 8x bandwidth. Other motherboard manufacturer's are doing 16x and 4x. Reply
sprockkets - Thursday, January 06, 2005 - linkI'm curious to see how all those lame Intel configs by Dell and others pull off SLI long before thie mb came out. Reply
Regs - Thursday, January 06, 2005 - linkOnce again - history repeats itself. Dual core SLI solutions are still a far reach from reality. Reply
Lifted - Thursday, January 06, 2005 - linkDual 6800GT's???? hahahahahehhehehehahahahah.
Not laughing at you, but those things are so hot you'd need a 50 pound copper heatsink on the beast with 4 x 20,000 RPM fans running full boar just to prevent a China Syndrome.
Somebody say dual core? Maybe with GeForce 2 MX series cores.
reactor - Thursday, January 06, 2005 - linkso basically it performs the same as sli and for the same price as the sli setup, but only works with gb boards. wouldve like to see some power/cooling comparisons and pics although ive already seen it.

bbomb - Thursday, January 06, 2005 - linkIt seems like Nvidia just wants to make sure that none of their partners can benefit from SLI technology to ensure that Nvidia has some new technology to introduce in th future.
I bet Nvidia already has a multi-gpu card that work on any board and can probably work in SLI with another multi-GPU card sitting in a cabinet somewhere until Nvidia sees fit to let us get our hand on the technology.
I hope ATI's solution stomps Nvidias into the ground, but then again Nvidias software team cant seem to get it right and they blow away ATI's driver progam which leads me to beleive that ATI will have driver problems as well.

People for the American Way has called for the resignation of a town clerk in Upstate New York because she has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
On Aug. 30, Ledyard Town Clerk Rose Marie Belforti refused to issue a license to a lesbian couple. Ledyard is southwest of Syracuse in the Finger Lakes Region of the state.
Because of her opposition to marriage equality, Belforti delegated the job of issuing all marriage licenses to a subordinate. She turned the couple away and said they'd have to return another day.
In an interview with the right-wing Christian website CitizenLink, which is affiliated with Focus on the Family. Belforti said she objects to same-sex marriage because it could lead to bestiality. Ironically, the site used a picture of the clerk with her cow.
The women turned to PFAW.

Using Gene Therapy Against Cancer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Researchers said they have genetically altered regular blood cells to turn them into tumor attackers. The National Cancer Institute said the treatment eliminated all signs of cancer in two years for two men who had advanced melanoma. The NCI called it the first success in cancer gene therapy, but also noted the altered cells did not help 15 other melanoma patients. Researchers hope to start testing the gene therapy on a few patients who are dying from other forms of the disease, including breast and colon cancers.

EPD working to make roads safer with the use of social media
EUREKA- Last year, the Eureka Police Department responded to about 850 traffic collisions. Hoping to reduce that number, the EPD is now turning to social media.
Starting Wednesday, EPD traffic officers will be using social media to let the public know when and where they will be conducting specialized traffic enforcement details.
"We have been doing it all along. The only difference is we're going to now tweet it out and tell people ahead of time where we're at," said Chief Andrew Mills, the Police Chief of the EPD.
Traffic officers will be able to post to Facebook and Twitter from the field with their iPhones. If they are not too busy, they will be able to use those social media platforms to inform the public if they are on the lookout for certain collision factors.
"I think that most people want to conform with the law and most people want to obey traffic laws. The issue is you forget sometimes so this is an opportunity to remind," said Chief Mills.
The objective of Operation Safe Tweets is not just to let people know when and where they can expect maximum enforcement areas.
"It's not only what we're doing, but what we've accomplished. Or we can even broadcast out, 'I'm at a major injury collision at the intersection of Broadway and Wabash,' so it can give a little heads up to somebody who might be traveling through town, 'Hey, maybe I should steer clear of that intersection," said Officer Gary Whitmer, the Senior Traffic Officer for the EPD.
Officials say their goal is not to write as many tickets or arrest as many people as possible, but to keep the roads as safe as they can. Operation Safe Tweets is designed to do that.
"If we can educate the public via social media, and it just puts that little though in somebody's head that, 'Hey, the Eureka Police Department is doing this,' maybe it will remind them to slow down, buckle up and put their phone down and pay attention to their driving and be safe," said Officer Whitmer.
Some officers will continue doing unannounced traffic enforcement throughout Eureka.
You can follow the EPD on Twitter at @Eureka_Police and on Facebook by searching "Eureka Police Department."

>General Running>Running in Houston?
One day at a time
This weekend, I'm taking DS down to visit Rice. My mom and sister are driving down from Austin, and we'll be staying at a hotel near the Galleria. Is there a park or other area nearby that would be good for a long run? DS will work out with the team on Sunday, but Monday he'll be on his own. He's trying to stay off pavement as much as possible. I'd like to run, too, but I'm not as picky.
In it for the long run..
"It's not who wins the workout..."
BANNED from the LLR (Ladies' Locker Room) forum at age 64. Remember, folks, it's just running.
Thanks, Karen! Funny question, but is the path technically ON campus? Next Monday is an NCAA Dead Day for track, so he's not supposed to step foot on campus! Crazy rule. It's the only Dead Day from August through some of December, and the coach didn't realize it when he scheduled the visit. He'll still have most of Saturday and all of Sunday to spend with the team and/or coach.
The 3 mile loop follows the perimeter of the University, so I would say no it's not on campus. I would check with the coach though to make sure. If you are feeling adventurous you could also try memorial park. There's lots of trails there to try as well.
I wouldn't do the loop on dead day even if you get the feedback that it is technically ok.
Wish I could tell you other places to run, but my knowledge of houston is ancient. And not pleasant.
The link to Hermann Park appears to be broken but it is located just east of Rice University. Try this one.
You may have guessed I'm from H-Town. I regularly run on Saturday mornings at Terry Hershey Park (I live on the west side). But like someone else mentioned, the loop around Memorial Park is the mecca of Houston running. There's runners there at all hours of the day, in all shapes sizes.
... Oh- Hanszen is the best residential college.
I beg to differ, the best college is Will Rice!
Memorial Park and/or Buffalo Bayou along Allen Pkwy...I will likely be running these after dark next week - can anyone tell me if they are lit? Or any other safety concerns there?
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and roguesWe're on the road to nowhere, let's find out where it goes
Running Rev'd
I beg to differ, the best college is Will Rice!
Will Rice Will Suck!
But yes, Memorial Park is nice too, same with Hermann Park.
I believe Buffalo Bayou is lit. That's pretty too. Well, pretty for Houston.

I believe Buffalo Bayou is lit.
I believe Buffalo Bayou is lit.
Anyway, sun goes down a lot later over here, so light wasn't an issue. Ran from downtown to Memorial, around and back.
Holy runnerverse! Houston had an endless supply of folks from 5pm to 6:30 hitting the pavement. Overwhelmed by numbers of runners. Pretty cool. And friendly too, even ran a loop of memorial with some random dude who happened to be running same pace.
Not the most scenic, agreed, but nice place to run.
Feeling the growl again
the loop around Memorial Park is the mecca of Houston running. There's runners there at all hours of the day, in all shapes sizes.

My wife is a Houston native. I showed this to her and Memorial Park was her recommendation. She says the loop is roughly 2.5 miles.

Now use your magical wand for a translation.
This passage of mine got me thinking whether I should have used magic instead and here's what I've found:
Results 1 - 10 of about 50,000 for "magical wand" . (0.21 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 2,560,000 for "magic wand" . (0.31 seconds)
Which points to the collocation "magic wand" being favored in a ratio of 1 to 51 (roughly).
Now magic vs. magical:
Results 1 - 10 of about 841,000,000 for magic [definition]. (0.34 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 65,000,000 for magical [definition]. (0.53 seconds)
12 to 1 (roughly)
My Longman dictionary of English Language and Culture has an entry for magic wand but none for magical wand.
And here's what my Merriam-Webster's Concise Dictionary of English Usage says regarding magic/magical
According to Fowler 1926 the distinguishing features of magic and magical are that (1) magic is used literally and in fixed phrases while magical is used with extended meaning. But Burchfield 1996, the lattest reviser of Folwer, finds thta except for a few fixed phrases such as magic carpet and magic square, there is no tidy distinction between the two words. Here is what we have found in the evidence we have collected.
The adjective magic is almost exclusively an attributive adjective. Magical can be either an attributive or a predicate adjective, but attributive uses are about three times as common as the others. So nonattributive uses of either word are relatively uncommon.
Both words are used with literal force to refer to the supernatural.
... bulls and stags represented a greater magic potency - Katherine Kuh*, Saturday Rev., 20 Nov. 1971
The practice of using human fat as a powerful magical ingredient – A. W. Howitt, in A Reader in General Anthropology, ed. Carleton S. Coon, 1948
And both are commonly used with extended meanings, thorough their connotations may differ. Magic often implies some kind of instant effect, while magical often involves a feeling such as enchantment. These are only tendencies, however, because the figurative uses of two words overlap quite a bit.
… the magic solution to the defense problem in Europe – J.F. Golay, New Republic, 19 Apr. 1954
… a man who really had the magic touch – Leonard Bernstein, Atlantic, April 1955
… the magic plainness of La Fontaine's language – Richard Wilbur, New York Times Book Rev., 14 Oct. 1979
… looked more and more magical and silvery as it danced away – G.K. Chesterton, The Innocence of Father Brown, 1911
… its magical mornings and its incomparable sunsets – Paul Bowles, Holiday, March 1957
… the magical ease with which they are summoned forth – Dnaiel Menaker, Harper's, October 1972
* Quite an aptronym for someone named cow.

FOR the best part of 100 years, William 'Wass' Reader's secret First World War diaries remained just that - a secret.
Even when they were discovered in a forgotten box in stores at the York Castle Museum a few months ago, their contents remained a mystery: because they were written in shorthand.
An army of volunteers have since spent months decoding them, however. And what they reveal is an extraordinary record of life on the front line during the Palestine Campaign from 1917-18
We don't know much about William - generally known as Wass - himself, other than that he served with C Company of the Ist East Riding Yeomanry during the Palestinian Campaign.
But his character - and his weariness with war - shine through.
He had an eye for a good-looking nurse, enjoyed having a good time with his mates when he could snatch one - and loathed the lice which were the soldiers' curse.
Wounded once in the shoulder himself, he was also able to describe with vivid clarity the horrors of war, from watching from his hospital bed while a man had his leg cut off to combing the ocean for bodies washed up on the shore.
On January 1, 1918, he wrote: "What a black prospect for the New Year... the bodies of 150 nurses lie under the sheds at the dock awaiting burial."
His thoughts and observations on the events going on around him offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of soldiers during the war, says Philip Newton, assistant curator of history at the York Museums' Trust.
"Here is a down to earth young lad thrown into a world of chaos, harsh conditions and bloodshed who is describing his life in such a way that it is impossible not to warm to him. His matter of fact language and his accounts of football, Christmas drinks with friends and his relationship with the nurses also hits home that this is an ordinary young man not too different from young men today."
The diaries have been translated following an appeal by York Castle Museum. The appeal attracted attention from all over the world, with volunteers spending hours translating every word.
The diaries will now feature in the Castle Museum's First World War exhibition 1914: When the World Changed Forever.
Extracts from the diaries:
4th August 1917
It is just three years ago since I drove to Walton Street in a cab and entered my life as a real soldier. Three years of the best part of my life wasted
20th May 1917
I am becoming simply smothered with constant lice and the seams of my breeches are absolutely thick with eggs. I had a good wash-down in a bucket of water this morning but I cannot get rid of the lice
28th June 1917
Football is now in full swing here and we have matches every night. Our sergeants played 'B' Squadron sergeants this afternoon for 100 ... and we beat them 3-2. I sprained my thigh and I can hardly walk now.
29th June 1917
This afternoon we saw a very thrilling air battle just over our lines. The Taub had been in the habit of coming over here every day at the same time so our fellows lay in wait for him today. Three of our machines darted at him from all directions and darted round him like flies but whether he got hit or not we could not see for he got out of sight.
23rd July 1917
This is a comfortable hospital and the nurses are very nice and good looking.
29th July 1917
I am getting well in with all three sisters – I like the auburn haired one best as she has such a nice figure.
Memo October 1917
We have been without "fags" now in the canteen for nearly 3 weeks and managed to get a few boxes of Woodbines the other day. We expect "Johny Turk" to throw up the sponge the next time we attack in force and all our N.C.O.'s are being taught the Turkish for "throwdown your arms, surrender and you are surrounded". The effect sounds awful.
14th November 1917
Got our forage and rations in this village and then went out to take the next one. It was while galloping across the field to do this that I got hit in the neck and I fell off my horse. I was picked up in about an hour and taken on a sand cart to the Dressing Station.
15th November 1917
Stopped last night at the 22nd Dressing Station and was taken away this morning in the ambulance to the 3rd L.H.F.A. I think the bullet is in my right shoulder. Our Regiment has a lot of casualties... I have seen some horrible wounds and some fellows are in bad pain. We get bully and biscuits to eat in the hospital. Left this station tonight in a motor lorry and had a most painful journey for 30 miles.
23rd November 1917
They have put me in a bed next to the operating theatre and it is only covered in with matting. Last night I peeped through and saw them take a chap's leg off.
25th December 1917
The third Christmas Day of the war. Had the tent brightened this morning and "poshed up" accordingly. As usual I went into town after tea and met all our lads altogether. What a night! There were 12 of the P.B. men sat drinking round one table. I will draw a gentle veil over the events of the evening, but thank goodness Christmas only comes once a year.
29th December 1917
Went to town as usual and went to a concert at the Y.M. where Miss Fitzjohn and HarryPalty?, all singers were performing. She is very hot stuff and used to be a Music Hall artist but now she is the wife of a crooner
1st January 1918
What a black prospect for the New Year. We have parties at the ocean looking for bodies washed up and burial parties parading all day. The bodies of 150 nurses lie under the sheds at the dock awaiting burial.
30th May 1918
Here's another birthday come round. Am I 25 or 26? Blessed if I know. What I am wondering is how many more birthdays I am going to spend in the blinking army.
Monday 11th November 1918
Everybody here went mad last night and the air was simply full of fairy lights, rockets, etc from 18.00 to 24.00.

The morning plenary session at the National Sexual Assault Conference erupted in a group chant that sent chills up my spine. "Si se puede!" led by speaker Dolores Huerta. The power of 1400 voices rising together, believing that ending sexual violence is possible, made the struggles, frustrations, and doubts throughout the year worthwhile.
I think that's something wonderful about participating in this conference. There is a sense of community among activists and allies that can rejuvenate me in my work for the coming year. Whenever I go to a group learning experience I make an effort to balance my learning. It's tempting to only go the sessions on topics I'm currently working on. You can always learn something new on a topic, even if you consider yourself an expert. Another person can bring their own experiences and perspectives to the topic. This challenges me to think about my topic in a new way!
At the same time, I try to make half of my learning experiences relate to topics that I know little about. This has helped me to keep the ideas rolling and rekindle the flame for this work. My grandma once told me that the day you stop learning, you die. If you don't think you're learning anymore, you've really just learned that what you're doing isn't working.
This conference has a blend of folks who have been coming for years and brand new participants. I think it is vital to have that blend. The returning attendees are so excited to reconnect with friends and colleagues. The registration table is home base for hugs. I can also remember how excited I was to attend my first conference. My voice came to the table, my learning was valued, and my opinions were important.
If you have not had the opportunity to get to a state or national conference, I am telling you that it is worth it. It's worth taking the time to ask about funding provided by your state coalition or scholarships available to attend. We'll be in Pittsburgh next August when we cohost NSAC 2014 with PCAR. I hope to meet you there.

Beeper Bebe Plushies
Handmade Plushies from Secondhand Stuff
de Holly Keller
Acerca del libro
Outfitted with sketchy knowledge of toy design at best and a hand-me-down sewing machine, I began designing plushies back in 2005, naming my little company Beeper Bebe.
The basic tenets of Beeper Bebe plushie design were to incorporate thrifted and reclaimed materials in each design--largely focusing on natural fibers like wool and cashmere--and to design for kids first and foremost. An Etsy shop, a well-populated Flickr account and a blog soon followed.
This book offers an overview of Beeper Bebe plushie designs from 2005-2008 and each design's inspiration--covering everything from Bitty Bebes (teeny little baby dolls with teeny little accessories), to Babies on a Stick (a rattle) and the multitude of Mangy Menagerie designs--and many more.
If you are a Beeper Bebe fan, or just looking for some plushie inspiration, this book might be for you (who can say? You decide.). Or, if you are part of my family or one of my friends, you might also want a copy for some unfathomable reason.
Whatever the case, you can read more about Beeper Bebe and the mundacities of my life at chezbeeperbebe.blogspot.com
Or buy one of my handmade plushies at: beeperbebe.etsy.com
Thanks for looking.
Acerca del creador
I handmake plushies from secondhand stuff. Sometimes I make other stuff like bibs or greeting cards too. Mostly, I am just a crafty-mutha who digs designing things--especially toys. I was nominated for a Softie Award in 2008, have been featured in an interview on the Plush You website, was in the 2008 Plush You gallery show in Seattle, and have had my designs featured in Minneapolis-Saint Paul Magazine.
