That PC in the picture runs Gentoo 64 bit Linux and is my home desktop and is still running today.
My other main PC is my laptop which is my daily user. It is a Dell studio XPS 15 inch laptop with 2.6 quadcore processor, 8 gigs of ram, a 160 gig ssd, dual Nvidia 260m cards and runs WIndows 7 , lots of VM's incuding Backtrack and dual boots Ubuntu 10.04 with awesome window manger.
I have various other servers and laptops laying around but I do not use Backtrack as my main OS.
I also have my favorite machine: Password Crackers » The Tools Server gets a Fat Upgrade
As soon as i do 'Reset Window Manager' my screen just goes white! WTH
Well do you have your graphic drivers installed, give us some details what card you have, did you search on google etc.

Hi, so I followed what you said and everytime I switch over to compiz as my window manager, everything on my screen inverts. All the menus, everything, it's all inverted. It used to work fine a long time ago, but it seems like some update to BT may have messed it up? I researched it a while back and read that it might have had something to do with some python update? Anyone that can shed some light on the situation? Im not that concerned as i dont NEED compiz, but it does add a little something nice. Thanks in advance for any help!
would this work in R2 ?

Andover 77 Overton 5.
Scenes of wild celebration greeted the final whistle at the Goodship Ground last Saturday as Andover's young 'All Blacks smashed their way to the Hampshire Division One title and automatic promotion to the London Leagues.
"Champions and promoted, those words are music to my ears" said relieved head coach Andy Waite as his Oakwood sponsored side put a plucky Overton to the sword with a display of power, pace and skill that had a big noisy crowd in raptures.
Andover were excellent, particularly in the early part and made sure there was to be no late twist in this enthralling title race, despite Fordingbridge doing their part with a bonus point win over Southampton.
Indeed Andover showed just why they are champions by running in 13 tries to make it 138 in just 22 games, winning the league by a huge points difference from Fordingbridge, who graciously congratulated Andover straight after the game.
"It's been a great tussle at the top between two clubs who respect each other enormously and we wish them the best of luck in next week's play-off and hope to see them up with us next year" added Waite who also paid tribute to those who work so hard in the club's academy for their contribution to this success.
"Today we fielded no fewer than 14 out of an 18 man squad who have graduated from our academy in the past six years. That is a remarkable feat and is the reason we have achieved what we have.
It really is a whole club effort and a whole club success and that's what makes it so special.'
Despite the nerves that had been jangling around the club all week Andover prepared well and played some ruthless rugby to expose the gap between themselves and relegated Overton, who certainly had not turned up to make it easy.
As often before this season though, teams have found that being committed and physical against Andover is never enough, as the pace and ability all over the side combined with a well drilled and efficient set piece, gives Andover so many ways to win.
That was the case in this one, as from the start Andover simply probed in different areas until they found they key to unlock the visitors.
As early as the fourth minute the brilliant footwork of Jack Stott and Jake Kane combined to give flanker Simon Preece a chance to grab the first score and Andover were on their way.
Minutes later came a breathtaking solo effort from man of the match Elliott Copestake who danced his way over from 70 metres to increase the lead.
Dave Catt finished neatly after good work from Tom Erskine and Andy Franklin and soon after he doubled his tally after Callum Staff's wonderfully timed pass.
With the bonus point secure Andover visibly relaxed and Overton immediately woke them from their slumber with a well worked try of their own.
Suitably admonished Andover restored normal service and just before the break powerhouse Nic Reed willed himself over the line for a try converted by Copestake.
Playing up the slope in the second period and with Tom Waite winning almost every scrum and skipper Alex Morgan and Preece doing the same in the lineout Andover began to dismantle the visitors.
Paul Tuinasakea, who was named 'Vice President's Player of the Year' pounced on a loose lineout to score the first of his brace.
James Dawson was next to go over after a Waite strike against the head then Staff finished his own sublime kick and chase to the loudest roar of the day.
Tuinasakea then grabbed his second from a short scrum before Catt completed his hat-trick after another great piece of play by Staff and Copestake.
As Overton finally wilted Andover showed no mercy and a brilliant solo effort from Stott, followed by a second pacey effort from Copestake, punished them further before Catt had the last word with his fourth try from his own kick and chase.
Andy Franklin added six further conversions to complete the scoring as referee Ian Britton signalled time for the party to begin.
As Andover trooped off to huge applause Waite had one last tribute to pay.
"I cannot praise the efforts of player coach Marc Wilding enough" he said.
"This team has grown and developed so much over this season and much of that is down to him.
'Unfortunately Marc couldn't be here to today due to work commitments and played his final first team game last week.
'He has coached and mentored and put his body on the line for this all season and I know all the lads would like to thank him for all he has done."

Blue Lake to ban marijuana dispensaries
BLUE LAKE- The Blue Lake City Council has directed staff to draft an ordinance to ban all medical marijuana dispensaries within city limits. The council unanimously agreed to move forward with the plan after listening to the city's attorney presentation at Tuesday's Council meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem, Lana Manzanita, said the risks outweigh the benefits of having dispensaries in town. "We decided that it's a risk we didn't want to take," said Manzanita.
Manzanita said other cities have had to pay for increased crime associated with dispensaries and have faced problems when the federal government closes them. "Until the feds and California decide if their going to play nice, small cities can't afford to be sued," said Manzanita.
Under the plan 215, medical marijuana card holders, will still be able to grow marijuana in their homes in compliance with the law, but have to travel to neighboring areas to purchase it from a dispensary.
Bo Seymour lives in Blue Lake and is a 215 user. He said he would like to see the city make money off dispensaries in town. "The industry or the business is going on anyway. Why not collect some revenue from it," said Seymour.
The closest dispensary is located in Arcata, nine and a half miles away from Blue Lake.
Manzanita said the ordinance can be adjusted when the political landscape changes. "I need to protect the city anyway that I can to keep them from being sued or upping the crime rate," said Manzanita. "That's my job."
The ordinance will be written by the city manager and attorney, then go to the planning commission before being brought to the city council for approval.

A PRINCESS and a magician will be among the unusual visitors invited to a Kidderminster store in a bid to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
TK Maxx, in Weavers Wharf, will be hosting a charity event each Saturday in March as well as collecting bags of unwanted clothing and homeware for the store's nationwide Help Beat Kids' Cancer Sooner campaign.
Each event will see a special guest visit the store to entertain children and provide a photo opportunity between approximately 10am and 4pm.
Tomorrow and on Saturday, March 22, two magicians will be conjuring up funds for charity.
Saturday, March 15 will see a princess visit the store and Saturday, March 29, the animal man will be bringing his creepy critters along.
Staff will also be holding fancy dress days and encouraging shoppers to donate £1 at the tills.
Local businesses and schools have also been collecting bags of donations including clothing, homeware and ornaments to help the store meet its target of 413 bags.
Mark Mountford, charity champion for the store, said: "We raise money for Red Nose Day one year and then Cancer Research the next.
"It's something we really focus on as a company. We've been with Cancer Research for nearly 10 years, we're the biggest company that work with them and have raised £13.5 million across the country since 2004."
Shoppers can also drop off their bags of donations in store.

Drivers are being warned that tailbacks of several miles and delays of up to an hour are likely from the next set of Upton bypass roadworks, if drivers do not change their route.
This is the stark reality of a lane closure on the A35 north of Poole, when five weeks of work gets underway on Monday, January 14.
The need to strengthen Policemans Lane Bridge will mean the closure of the inside lane of the westbound carriageway and Dorset County Council is urging drivers to use other roads.
Modelling by engineers on the impact of the lane closure shows that the morning peak traffic flow will be around 200 vehicles over capacity and the evening around 800 vehicles over capacity.
"Many drivers tend to commute on auto-pilot, so we're giving plenty of advance warning of this work to ensure that drivers can take action to avoid these delays from day one," said Cllr Peter Finney, county council cabinet member for highways and transportation.
"We are carrying out this work at a time of year when the daily average number of cars using the road is at its lowest, but we know it will still have a large impact on people's daily journeys.
"Drivers should try to understand that this work is for their benefit – the road needs to be maintained so that it can continue to be used by the thousands of vehicles that use it every day," he said.
Gridlock was caused in early November on the Upton bypass when two sets of roadworks coincided with the refit of the Sandbanks ferry. This marked the start of 15 weeks of engineering work by the county council.
The latest lane closure will allow work to strengthen bridge support columns and carry out surfacing work, barrier repairs, drain cleaning and verge clearance.
The closeness of the bridge support columns to the edge of the road means the only way to carry out the work safely is to close a lane, says the council.
Their suggested diversion for drivers wishing to avoid the congestion is the A349 Gravel Hill up to the Merley roundabout and onto the A31.
From Monday February 18 work will move to the central support columns of the bridge and the central reservation. The eastbound and westbound outside lanes will be closed for five weeks.
During the morning peak the westbound carriageway carries around 1,600 vehicles between 8am and 9am and 2,200 between 5pm and 6pm.
What to expect:
Phase 2a – westbound works (towards Dorchester)
Jan 14: Five weeks of work to strengthen Policeman's Lane Bridge westbound support columns and replace the safety barrier in front of the columns.
Jan 14-Feb 15: Nearside lane closed, with all traffic in the outside lane at 40mph, for tree maintenance, drainage work and barrier repairs.
Phase 2b – central works
Feb 18-Mar 22: Five weeks of work to strengthen Policeman's Lane Bridge central support columns.
Feb 18-Mar 15: Eastbound and westbound fast lanes closed for repairs to central reservation and some drainage works.
Mar 11-22: Westbound night-time closure for surfacing works.

The Cleveland Browns are winless, 0-9 for the first time in franchise history. They are ranked dead last at No. 32 in the AP Pro32.
And now they must play on a short week at their hated rival, the Ravens — who used to be the Browns before fleeing to Baltimore in 1996.
Baltimore was floundering, losing four in a row before beating Pittsburgh, another hated rival by both the Ravens and Browns. A win over Cleveland could give the Ravens sole possession of first place in the AFC North.
It's a benefit for John Harbaugh's team that it is taking on Hue Jackson's squad Thursday night. And no, not only because the Browns have the league's worst record.
"You just have to get right to the next opponent, which we did being Cleveland," Harbaugh said. "Fortunately, I think for both teams probably, they are opponents that we both have familiarity with, being a rivalry game and in the division, and we played each other once already this year. So that helps the preparation mentally, but things change, Cleveland has changed scheme and personnel a little bit, so we really have to look at that.
"More than anything, it is getting back physically. The guys will be emotionally ready to play. It is a big game for both teams. ... It is a national game. Everybody is going to be excited."

Central second in regional softball rankings
PELLA — Despite making a jump in the NFCA Division III top 25 coaches' poll a day earlier, the Central College softball team slipped a notch to No. 2 in the NCAA Midwest Region rankings.
The Dutch, 26-7 overall, have a 21-4 in-region record after a 3-1 week in which they swept Buena Vista University and split a doubleheader with Coe College, which is rated No. 4 in the region. They climbed to No. 14 in the NFCA poll. The University of St. Thomas (Minn.) takes over at No. 1 in the Midwest Region. The Tommies are 23-5 overall and 19-4 against in-region foes.
Fontbonne University (Mo.) (25-9) is third with Simpson College (27-9) at No. 5 and Luther College (23-7) at No. 6. The regional rankings serve as the basis for selections to the 62-team NCAA Division III tournament field which will be announced May 6. Central was earlier named one of eight schools to serve as a host site for regional tourney action May 9-13. It's the third straight year the Dutch have played host to a regional.
Central and Luther clash Saturday in an Iowa Conference twinbill that concludes the league's regular season. Game time is 2 p.m. at the A.N. Kuyper Athletics Complex field. The contest will be broadcast on KRLS-FM (92.1) with Trevor Castle and can also be heard via www.kniakrls.com. Live stats will be available at www.central.edu/athletics.

And the winner … the city of Prairie du Sac in southern Wisconsin for having the best tasting water in rural America. Earlier this week, at the National Rural Water Association's Water Rally, Prairie du Sac won the coveted gold medal as part of the Great American Water Taste Test.
USDA Rural Utilities Service Acting Administrator John Padalino served on the judging panel. Padalino administers USDA water and environmental programs.
"This event is a reminder of how essential rural water infrastructure is to every community in America," Padalino said. "A strong rural water network leads to a strong rural America. A strong rural America leads to a stronger America, where food, energy, goods and services are plentiful. Congratulations to the hard-working water utility operators and the community of Prairie du Sac in Wisconsin."
A panel of judges selected the finalists from entries across the United States. Each sample was judged on clarity, bouquet and taste.
The City of Emporia, Kan. won second place, and Village of Psagh, Iowa, placed third. Other finalists included the Village of Roscommon, Mich., and the Village of Trenton, Neb.

Crucial MX100 (256GB & 512GB) Reviewby Kristian Vättö on 6/2/2014 3:00 PM EST

extide - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkWow, 256Gbit dies! That would mean up to 2TB in a standard 2.5" SSD -- Crazy! Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkActually one could fit 4TB into a standard 2.5" (or even 8GB when using 32 packages) but the problem is, as far as i can tell, no single controller can adress so much space. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - link*TB obviously :) Reply
extide - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkYeah but it's a chicken and egg thing I think. There seems to be a max price cap of about $600 for these SSD's, and so for 64gbit NAND that was ~512GB and 128Gbit NAND it is about 1TB. When they design a controller to exist during the lifetime of 256Gbit NAND there is a good chance that someone is actually going to make a 2TB drive because that much NAND would then fit inside that 'max price' so they will design the controller for that max amount. And in the same vein a contrller for the 128Gbit era would be 'OK' with a 1TB max.... if that makes sense, heh. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkAlso, there is already 2TBs drives out thre on the old 64Gbit flash :) Reply
danwat1234 - Monday, January 26, 2015 - linkIntel S3500 2TB exists, not sure if it works in laptops though Reply
fruitcrash - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkIt's not that you can't address it (for ONFI NAND you can use the Volume Select command), but that you can't have more than about 8 chips on a channel because of capacitive loading. Reply
extide - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkNOTE: I am talking about the future NAND, NOT what is used in this drive. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkStill, 256Gbit dies can can't help you much, if controller can't adress that much space. As i've said above, once could fit 4-8TB of flash, it's just isn't possible yet. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkAny details on the 128GB version ?
I've read somewhere, that it will be using the old 20nm flash... Reply
blanarahul - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkCrucial sucks balls at making performance drives.. They should leave that market to Sandforce and Samsung, and concentrate on beating Samsung in value SSD market... Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkSandforce makes performance drives ?!
hahahah thats new :) Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkPlease read the article. Reply
SmilingTornado - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkI am pretty sure this would be a "budget" SSD because of the $110 price tag and the fact that TigerDirect would be selling it for as little as $100 if you get a coupon Reply
danwat1234 - Monday, January 26, 2015 - linkNo need for more performance than sandforce 2xxx, that pretty much eliminates the hard drive bottleneck completely for most uses in home computers Reply

Hrel - Monday, June 02, 2014 - link"Sequential Write 150MB/s 330MB/s"
Why so slow? Especially when $100 drives get 550MB/s at 95k IOPS. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkWhere do you have 100$ drive, that gets 550MB/ write ?! Reply
extide - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkThis is explained in the article... But it is because it uses fewer large capacity NAND dies to hit the low prices. For fast writed with NAND you need lots of dies, which is why the bigger versions of this drive see better performance. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkAnd competitors are using nasty tricks like turbowrite or compression to achive such write speeds. But actual nand inside those mainstream drives isn't capable of such speeds. Reply
sonny73n - Saturday, December 20, 2014 - linkSamsung Evo comes to mind ;-) Reply
MikeMurphy - Monday, June 02, 2014 - link330MB/s reads with zero random access penalty is ample for 99.99% of the users out there.
There isn't much (or any) real world difference between this and something faster. Reply
isa - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkYes, I'd love to see a link to a $100 external SSD with 550MB/s at 95k IOPS. Reply
UltraWide - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkDo you plan to include tests with encryption enabled in the future? Thank you. Reply

stickmansam - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkDang those prices look good

khkha - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkI have just bought seagate 600 for my early 2011 mbp. Should I return the drive and buy this instead for 30gb space bump?
Thoughts anyone? Reply
s44 - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkSpace will be the same, they're just advertised differently. But the Crucial idles at much lower power than the Seagate, so I'd consider switching to save battery life. Reply
tobho - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkSome serious question over here: is this drive a real competitor to the Sammys Evo or even Pro SSDs? I was planning on buying the 256Pro but the Crucial seems to perform better in a lot of tasks. I cannot really differentiate much but the price: 256Pro = 512MX100 Reply
hojnikb - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkJust get MX100. For the price, its a steal.. Reply
rvb3n - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkHi, can someone give me a suggestion for a pro SSD for a laptop with about 500 GB? Is the Samsung 840 Pro still the king (price/performance)? Reply
blackrain - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkLooking forward to the Bench being updated with the Crucial MX100 line:

rahuldesai1987 - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkA 256Gbit die should enable a $300 1TB and $600 2TB drive, 6 months down the line. Hope we see a TLC Samsung 850EVO soon, at even cheaper prices. Reply

Samus - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkI've installed over 100 M500's and have personally been using a C300 since 2010 in my daily driver laptop. Rock solid drives. Who cares if they're 10% "slower" than a Sandforce drive. Reply
Onyx2291 - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkJust ordered a 512GB for $199.99. Such good value. Reply
beatsbyden - Thursday, August 21, 2014 - linkGreat bargain for the price. I heard the 256GB drive is in fact a 320 GB drive with 20% overprovisioning...that would even be more a bargain. Performance decrades less than with all other brands that only have 7%. I also like the protection and encryption on the mx 100. Still have to chose between the samsung 840 evo 250gb and the mx100. Would chose the mx100 if had better writing performance...but now i have doubts...Gonna use it for audioproduction...so lots of reads and writes that would make the samsung evo 840 a better choice right....i have a Samsung 830 128GB now and i'm satisfied with it, never failed me, but need a bigger one. Should i stick with Samsung or get the MX 100? Reply
SpartanTech - Wednesday, September 17, 2014 - linkGet the 512GB MX100, should satisfy your needs and provides even more storage....
PS: Don't think you'll notice any difference tbh Reply
Canadaram - Wednesday, October 22, 2014 - linkBecause Crucial is a direct seller as well as a wholesaler, they can set the MSRP much closer to wholesale/street pricing levels, so don't expect as large of a discount from MSRP to street as you would on retail brands. Reply
akin1231 - Tuesday, December 02, 2014 - linkThis drive is not a steal, it's a massive rip off because it doesn't work reliably. There's a massive issue with it falling off intermittently but frequently. There's no fix for it yet. Check the Crucial forum:

Shoe designer Zack Lo says his creations are for the "strong and confident modern woman."
-Diana Denza
Zack Lo first made waves in the fashion world with his debut shoe collection, "Voodoo Circus." The perfect mix of elegant and daring, you can expect classic black stilettos adorned with zesty yellow pompoms or blooming floral designs. We chatted with Lo about his background, design inspirations, and "Virgo", his sure-to-be fabulous 2013 line. These shoes were made for strutting – be sure to grab a pair or two in BettyConfidential Shop's exclusive flash sale!
Betty Confidential: When did you first know you wanted to become a designer? What was the spark?
Zack Lo: I was always attracted to fashion and design, even as young boy. I come from a somewhat conservative family and was encouraged to pursue a practical career path. My compromise with my parents for going to art school was that I would study graphic design. But in art school, I was friends with the fashion folks and got involved with their projects and shows as much as possible. When I traveled to the United Kingdom for graduate studies, I was far enough away from home and from expectations, that I began to look more deeply at fashion as a career. I think I needed that distance from my family and from my home to really get more in touch with my true feelings.
BC: What was the first thing you ever made? Do you still have it?
ZL: In Taiwan, if you make a particularly nice painting or drawing, the teacher takes it and puts it up on the black board at the back of the classroom as an example for the other students. I can't remember what I made the first time my teacher put me up on the black board, but every time afterward, whenever I made something it was with the silent hope of being recognized. It was a really great lesson for me, that part of being successful is pleasing as many people as possible while at the same time pleasing yourself. I think the teacher kept most of my artwork!
BC: What was your first fashion memory?
ZL: I remember seeing the work of Jean Paul Gaultier in a magazine my older brother had and being really excited by it. Shoes especially always interested me because I sort of thought them as a kind of pedestal. You know, in traditional Asian art, everything of great value is put on a pedestal. When I see a woman in high heels she seems all the more beautiful to me because she is elevated.
What inspires Zack, how he reacted when someone said, "No," to his designs and more up next!

Southern Baptist Convention leaders will be talking about sex at a spring summit in Nashville — taking on marital and teen sexuality, homosexuality and how pastors should address immorality in their flocks, among other topics.
The denomination's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission president, Russell Moore, said the theme, "The Gospel and Human Sexuality," is timely in a changing society.
"As technology advances and the culture changes, the questions that we have to grapple with are often increasingly complex," he said on the commission's website. "At the ERLC Leadership Summit, we'll talk about these questions, and how we can be faithful in ministry, gospel-focused in engagement and Christ-shaped spiritual warriors in the ways we seek to wrestle with the principalities and powers of this age."
The summit is scheduled for April 21-23 and will include speeches, panel discussions and breakout sessions to explain "how the gospel shapes our sexual identities, redeems sexual desire and sets free those who are held captive to sin's bondage," the posting said.
Registration and more information are available online at http://erlc.com/summit. Sessions will be live-streamed at erlc.com and Tweeted @ERLC with hashtag #erlclive.

Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio
Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio promises the adventure of Uruguays traditional ranch experience and stunning nature, the splendor of South Americas finest beaches, the thrill of parties that outlast the sunrise, all amid the comfort, sophistication, and aesthetic magnificence of an estancia hotel beyond compare. Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio: a luxury travel experience until now simply unavailable at any price.
The Estancia
At Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio all common rooms border patios that bring light and space to every corner of the estancia building. This open architecture scheme of patios, gallerias and windows creates 360-degree views from virtually every location.
The Living Room
Painted by Clever Lara, one of Uruguays foremost artists, the Google-earth inspired 18-foot high ceiling and frieze of paintings fill the 3000 square foot surface of the living room. Eight enormous semi-precious Uruguayan geodes natures art hang along the walls. World-renowned sculptor Pablo Atchugarrys three and a half meter, four ton white statuary sculpture presides over the immense space, acting as the axis for the building, while each end of the living room boasts 18 foot high fireplaces of natural red Uruguayan stone designed by architect Marcelo Daglio.
The Dining Room
The Dining rooms design with beautiful Lapacho wood floors, brick vaulted walls and ceiling combines modern elegance with a true Uruguayan traditional feel.
Wine Cellar
The vaulted wine cellar and dining room were created over nine months using local brick painstakingly filled and fit without the use of grout. This dramatic room plays host to a variety of South Americas finest wines, and with room for over 5000 bottles, our guests are assured to find a wine to fit their taste.
The Parillero offers views of the herb and vegetable garden to the north and the patio to the south. Constructed of undulating tin siding inspired by the humble shacks found wherever the gauchos roamed, Marcelo Legrand contemporized the space by painting the paneled chapa walls in his colorful, chaotic, abstract style. The energy evoked by Legrands art makes this a lively place to spend time. Sit at either the four and a half meter long cinnamon wood table or the organically shaped handmade Elm Burl wood tables and enjoy the freshest homegrown organic vegetables and finest beef in the world.
Game Room
The Game Room is accented by a polished monochromatic wood sculpture by Roberto Piriz which towers, pristinely symbolic, above the horizontal slate fireplace, and a floor-to-ceiling wall sculpture ingeniously assembled by Jose Pelayo using discarded construction scraps, evoking the grit within the estancias masterful construction.
Gym & Spa
At Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio, comfort and luxury are expected and indulgence is encouraged. Estancia Vik offers a gym where you are surrounded by large murals by artist Jose Trujillo and beautiful views of the landscape and a spa to help you unwind after the days adventure. Featuring a range of equipment including an elliptical machine, tread mill, strength training machine, free weights and spinning cycle as well as a sauna/steam, personalized yoga instruction and spa treatments the facilities will complete your work out and relaxation needs.
TThe scene that awaits you as you enter the gates into Estancia Viks grass covered North Garden is the Uruguayan Absolute Nero granite reflecting pool. Beyond the pool stands Pablo Atchugarrys abstract and sensual monumental sculpture sitting at the central point of the living room. Four native Ibirapita trees, the tree of Uruguays liberator and founder, Jose Gervasio Artigas, frame the reflecting pool. Along with the gardenia bushes, bougainvillea is planted on the north wall and promises to fill the entry with its showy, vibrant flowers.
Estancia Vik is making every effort to bring organic freshness to the table with the use of fresh produce from our garden.
At either side of the South Garden, the galleries offer shade where lounge furniture awaits guests in search of a place to read, nap or enjoy a drink by the pool. In the evenings fiber optic lights illuminate the granite swimming pool with reflections of the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere above. From this vantage point he views of the Arroyo, rolling prairie and Laguna are spectacular!
The East Patio sits between the Parillero and the Game Room and leads to the Ochre Wing of Estancia Vik. The tall red wood and metal sculpture by Jose Pelayo sits in one corner and the black metal vertical sculpture by German Cabrera sits opposite like gauchos standing guard.
With the Uruguayan slate and wood floor and its colors of the earth and the sunset, the West Patios alludes to the end of the day. It is home to two powerful sculptures by Ricardo Pascale and Alejandro Turell. Relax and read a book in the oversized wicker chairs or dine in the fresh evening air of Jose Ignacio outside of the main dining room. The West Patio leads to the Blue Wing, the color of the evening sky.
Colorist Carlos Musso painted Estancia Viks magnificent romantic chapel in his vibrant color chromatic style. This powerful yet small chapel made of mud and wood is harmoniously integrated into its surroundings, ensconced in ancient trees and lulled by the glorious chorus of bird song and cattle low.
The Galpon with its charming gravel and cobblestone center courtyard sits apart from the main estancia building and serves as additional special event space, polo pony stalls, and charming apartments.
Things We Do
In this place where Marlboro country meets St Tropez of times past, Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio offers the ultimate Uruguayan experience. Visitors enjoy horse riding, bird watching, nature exploration, playing polo on the Estancias private polo field, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, surfing, kite surfing, water skiing, tennis and golf, as well as a gym and wellness spa. Only minutes away, guests find trendy restaurants, art galleries, funky boutiques and nightlife. In a style only seen in Uruguay, relax over a long lunch of fresh fish and mojitos at a casual seaside restaurant, watch the sun disappear beyond a deserted beach, or party into the morning with South Americas beautiful people. If you must WIFI is available throughout the Estancia! Whatever you desire is here for you, all while you discover the extraordinary land that is Uruguay.
Nature abounds on Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio. Take a canoe trip on the Arroyo de Jose Ignacio and see the fish jumping above the water in front of you. As you travel along, stop to watch flocks of the pinkest flamingos you could ever imagine gathered on a sand bar alongside huge white egrets and a variety of other exotic birds. As the flamingos take flight know that you have landed in a paradise that few have ever experienced. Ride one of the Estancias stable of Uruguayan Criollo horses out over the landscape to the Laguna and find yourself cantering alongside South American Ostrich who will undoubtedly outrun you! Stop and pick up an ostrich egg the size of a small football, discover a variety of animal bones or watch an armadillo bound for cover! The Laguna Jose Ignacio also boasts some of the finest fishing in the area.
At Estancia Vik Solar tubes are being utilized to produce heat, wind power for needed electricity, thermal energy and heat pumps to heat and air condition, and rainwater is collected and utilized for irrigation. Additionally, there are fireplaces in each room providing additional warmth and ambience. At Estancia Vik Jose Ignacio, we pride ourselves on our energy autonomy.
Organic Herb
Located outside of the Barbeque and the North Garden herbs and vegetables are planted in a symmetrical pattern reflecting art in nature. The temperate climate of Uruguay makes it possible to produce fresh produce throughout the year.
Estancia Vik stretches out along the northern edge of the Laguna de Jos Ignacio for many kilometers and to the west of the Arroyo de Jose Ignacio with 1,400 hectares of spectacular rolling land which gently slopes down to the Laguna and Arroyo. Herds of horses, cattle and sheep freely roam the land alongside wild ostrich, fox, armadillo and a host of other indigenous animals. The private residence hotel is located on a high point of the estancia, with grand and expansive views out over the Laguna and the Southern Atlantic Ocean.

mckirkus - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkYou should link to the previous Podcast on every one of these so people don't have to hunt around for the prior episodes.
Request - Would love to hear more about very high resolution desktop monitors, a discussion of 120 hz (not for 3D), how a RAMDISK would score on Anand's SSD benchmarks, HSA, PS4 AMD A10 rumors, Valve's Linux Steam port, how we might use 16+GB of RAM, and I also want someone to buy me a pony.
You should put your podcasts on YouTube and link to the relevant times in your "related articles" section. I hope you guys don't just give up on this because of the time required, these make my commute 42% more tolerable. Reply

dishayu - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - link- Do one episode on SSDs please.
- Maybe you can open it up to us people for buying suggestions? And since you'll get a big load of them, you can cherry pick an interesting one or one that might relate to a lot of people and then discuss/argue about that? I think 15 minutes towards the end could be a fair amount of time for this. People not interested can just stop at that point.
- How about getting charlie as a guest on an episode? The guy has some extreme viewpoints but it would be quite interesting (entertaining). I noticed that Anand and Charlie have been quite chatty on twitter lately. ;) Reply
MFK - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkAlso, is there a review for the Optimus G forthcoming?
I'm guessing that phone will be a part of a lot of peoples shortslists owing to its hardware similarity to the Nexus and the fact that it comes with 32GB (every variant except the AT&T).
Other sites have their reviews up but none do as thorough of a job as you guys so I'm waiting for your take on it.
Any word on whether you guys plan on reviewing the device? Reply
Spivonious - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkI really don't get the Windows Phone hate. If you want a Dropbox app, tell Dropbox to make one. This is not MS's fault.
The criticism of messaging is also an odd one. What about the Facebook integration throughout the OS on WP? Apple is just now putting that in with iOS 6.
WP8 will be very popular, especially with people who have bought Windows 8/RT PCs and tablets. Their "three screens and a cloud" vision will finally come together, as the phones, tablets, PCs, and next Xbox all share a common platform. Reply
jeffkibuule - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkSeems like Brian actually likes Windows Phone, but there are still issues that prevent him from saying "I don't need any other phone to function."
And honestly, it is kinda sad when major 3rd party developers do not take a platform seriously. It's not about having an app access a service, it's about the lack of a 1st party app that cares about a platform, because we all know that 3rd parties will never get the same API access the actual company does (just see Twitter).
I also think most of the startups never bothered hiring any .net developers. Most learned iOS because that's where all the money is and pretty much everyone is taught Java in college. Though I'd argue that Java is close enough to C# that any competent programmer can pick it up, that still doesn't mean a Windows Phone or Windows 8 app will be made by the company.
However, this is where the important of Windows 8 cannot be understated. Windows 8 is too large a platform for any major developer to ignore. As such, the skills to make a Windows 8 app directly translate to Windows Phone 8. That's where I hope we'll see some cross pollination, if not direct transfer of code between platforms for most apps. Reply
QuesoLoco - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkYou can thank Mathais Duarte for that one!
Palm Hardware / Software = Android 4.0+ Nexus 4/7/10 Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkHow can you say Windows RT is as good as Android and iOS now, when you're also saying it needs at least Cortex A15 to run well? Android still runs on 600 Mhz ARM11 processors. Let's see Windows RT do that.
I also think you bought too much into the Windows RT ads. I love how the other guy said "especially when using Office" - as if there's anything else that exists in desktop mode right now. How exactly is Windows RT any more productive than Android and iOS other than using a keyboard, which the other 2 can use, too? Name a few ways in which it's more productive and you can't do the same on iOS or Android. I'm tired of vague statements that have nothing to back them up.
And speaking of big.Little and A15. I don't know how you run your benchmarks, but if you're maximizing the CPU utilization for the devices, that may not be the PROPER way to benchmark a big.Little chip. The big.Little set-up is configured that way because in 80% of the tasks, it can use the A7 chip. But if your benchmarks are designed to use only the maximum performance, then it will just use A15, and will end up showing much lower battery life than it should - that won't be very relevant to how a normal person will use the phone. Again, I don't know exactly what tests you're doing, so I mean this just as a warning before you start reviewing big.Little devices, so you don't end up benchmarking just the A15 part of big.Little without realizing it. Reply
QuesoLoco - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkI think you may have bought too much into the Windows RT hate.
How about automatic side-by-side applications (Samsung's new Touch Wiz only can do some stock). How about actual driver support in mouse/keyboards as well as printers.
How about not having to root a ton of stuff to get down to the low level, as well as getting almost all of Windows 8's features. It's a powerful system. Reply
VivekGowri - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkI actually wasn't even aware of the Windows RT marketing campaign, since most typical avenues of advertising don't factor into my world unless I specifically go looking for them.
Windows RT is like having Windows 7 on a tablet device, except that when I want to use it as a slate I don't get screwed on the UX side. It's really the only one that offers multiwindow use as a built-in capability (except for the Galaxy Note 10), with both Windows UI Snap as well as the ability to put side by side windows in desktop mode. Bam, productivity. Multitasking at its core - using your device to do multiple things at once.
Other thoughts: having direct access to a file system in the Windows shell is phenomenal. Command prompt. Control panel offers far more power over device settings than you can get anywhere in iOS (or the Windows Settings app). Real, full versions of Office (or close enough). And no, current mobile office suites do not cut it. You cannot replicate the experience on iOS at all, even when you jailbreak it, and it takes far too much work to get close with an Android tablet.
With that said, I think the Clovertrail Windows 8 tablets are probably a better bet than the Tegra 3 based RT tablets, but the OS is the exact same thing. You obviously can't install x86 apps on the ARM tablets, but you'd never want to use them in tablet mode anyways (unless secretly you really loved the Tablet PC). Other than that, it's literally the same UI/UX. I don't understand all the kvetching. Reply
phillyry - Monday, November 12, 2012 - linkLol.
Good reply Vivek.
It always irks me the way there's people who are ready to get their back up over everything when it's obvious you guys are just trying to tell it how it is.
Well rebuked.
Also good to squash all the squabbles. There are so many intelligent people in this forum, it's a waste for people to be yammering on with reactionary comments and flame wars. Reply
jeffkibuule - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkAndroid 4.2 may run on 600Mhz ARM11 CPUs, but not smoothly. There's good reason why Android 2.3 is still a huge chunk of the market, and it's not because phone vendors have a strong love of Gingerbread, but because ICS really raises the bar on what is asked of both the CPU and GPU. Reply
usopen65667268 - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkSo glad you guys are back in business!!! Been missing your podcast! I have been feigning so badly I resorted to messaging Brian on Google Plus, and crying big tears in an email to your site! Really looking forward to hearing what Podcast 9 has to offer!! Keep up the great work guys, you are in a class of your own and the bar has been set incredibly high with your efforts!!!! Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkAt 1:36 one guy says that iPad Mini has a higher PPI than the original Kindle Fire that was 1024x600.
Except it DOESN'T. 1024x600, which is what the first 7" Android tablets used to have long ago, is actually slightly higher PPI than what iPad Mini has at 7.9" with 1024x768. It's 169 vs 162 PPI. Who knew right? Well, you guys should've known before making incorrect statements like that and having thousands of people hearing them and sending them elsewhere. If you had live chat during the podcasts it would be better to correct you in real time. You should hold Hangouts. Reply
Zink - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkDon't scare them out of doing more podcasts. I really like them just chatting which each other whenever they find time. Live would be pretty cool though I think it would restrict the length which is my favorite part. I like being able to have hours of awesome content on the go but not that many people wan't to take 2h out of their day to listen live. Once you have a definite time limit I think it might lead to interesting side stories getting left out. On the other hand a small number of people in chat might be an advantage to cut down on arguments and name calling that could make doing the podcast more stressful. Reply
VivekGowri - Thursday, November 08, 2012 - linkI went back and listened to it, and I think you're thinking when I said that the pixel density was higher than the original iPad display? I mentioned reading in the Kindle app a bit before then, but I don't think the Kindle Fire came up as a topic at all in this part of the conversation. Reply
Zink - Friday, November 09, 2012 - linkI also didn't hear it now that I'm done listening. Reply
Death666Angel - Saturday, November 10, 2012 - linkHe only says pixel density on the Mini is higher than on the original iPad (obviously, both have the same resolution :D). He does not compare Kindle Fire with the Mini in terms of pixel density. :) Reply
phillyry - Monday, November 12, 2012 - linkSeriously?

And the version difference will tell us why Nexus4/10 was so bad on sun spider/browsermark bench in preview. Reply
Muyoso - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkActually, I don't think that version of Chrome changes anything. For some reason the unit they have is thermally throttled, at least while running the GLBenchmark suite, and probably during the browser tests as well.. They ran the test again, but with the phone in the freezer and performance nearly doubled. Its a heat issue. They talk about it a tiny bit during the podcast. Hopefully the final software will fix this issue, but its not as simple as an update to Chrome. Reply
tempestglen - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkA15 is a new micro architecture, the software support plays a key role, don't forget chromebook with same exynos 5250 achieved double performance in sun spider/browsemark.
2nd Nov.
Chrome for Android Update
The stable channel of Chrome for Android has been updated to 18.0.1025464 for ARM devices and to 18.0.1026320 for x86 devices. The new update includes important stability fixes and support for the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10. Both updates are now available for download on Google Play and in the Google Play Store on your mobile devices. Known issues are available on the Chrome support site. Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, November 07, 2012 - linkIt felt that this pod cast was scrapped together with a much more rigid agenda and focus (mobile) than others in the past that'd diverge between topics based upon the conversation.
Surprisingly I didn't hear much about the hurricane in this pod cast. Various launches were affected by this. It would have been interesting to hear how this event affected other scheduling for reviews etc. (including this podcast).
Not covered was AMD's Piledriver chip on the desktop and server alongside the even bigger news of AMD using ARM cores in future Opterons. Similarly no mention of the new 64 bit ARM cores or that MIPs has been bought out by Imagination. These are two shake ups that'll have a long term effects on the industry. i suspect that we'll be hearing about these in the next podcast. Reply
phillyry - Monday, November 12, 2012 - linkThey did mention that there was so much this week that other stuff would have to wait until the next podcasts. Especially since They've been away/tied up for so long. Reply
noblemo - Thursday, November 08, 2012 - linkThanks for a great podcast. I especially appreciated your discussion regarding the disruptive nature of the Nexus 4. The following is a comparison of economical carrier plans currently available. The total cost of a 16GB Nexus 4 with 24 months of service is shown in brackets for each plan.
- $30/mo ($1070) T-Mobile Monthly4G: 5GB data, unlimited texting, 100 minutes talk plus $0.10 per extra minute
- $45/mo ($1430) Straight Talk on AT&T or T-Mobile: ~2GB data, unlimited talk, unlimited texting
- $55/mo ($1670) AT&T Prepaid: 3GB data, unlimited texting, 250 minutes talk plus $0.10 per extra minute
- $60/mo ($1790) T-Mobile Value Package: unlimited data, unlimited texting, 500 minutes talk
- $70/mo ($2030) T-Mobile Value Package: unlimited data, unlimited texting, unlimited talk
- $80/mo ($2270) AT&T Prepaid: 3GB data, unlimited texting, unlimited talk
By comparison, a 16GB Galaxy Nexus or iPhone 4s would cost $2500 with a two-year Verizon contract including 2GB/month of data, unlimited text, and unlimited talk. Reply
dishayu - Friday, November 09, 2012 - linkDamn, just when we in India were raging about Nexus 4 16GB costing close to $650 unlocked (we have no system of carrier subsidized phones in india at all, all phones are sold unlocked, at full price), we still would end up paying A LOT lesser over 2 years.
$650 + $16 per month plan from tata docomo = 1034$ (unlimited text and calls, unlimited data)
We don't even have restrictions on using skype/facetime/google video etc on phone. It's completely unregulated. So, Reply

This is my new favourite topic (so it must be everyone's, right?). Reply
itsbotime - Thursday, November 08, 2012 - linkYou discussed the lack on messaging in WP8 but never mentioned the Skype integration. I think they intend for Skype (and email for document sharing) to cover these needs especially since they announced that they will be killing Microsoft Messenger and pushing those users onto it. Reply
phillyry - Monday, November 12, 2012 - linkThey're talking about the lack of a well-integrated messenger program that could meet to the needs of a lot of protocols (or something). For, say, sending a full-res photo in a text like fashion, without the need to go into email. Not sure which other restrictions there were but that doesn't dismiss the other pluses.
It's valid to say that they should have spoken about the Skype integration plus-side (I'll have to take your word for its usefulness since I have no first-hand experience with it and, as you pointed out, they didn't make it an emphasis).
But again, this is a separate feature and does not dismiss the messenger feature that is left wanting. You should have both and shouldn't need to compensate for one with the other. They should be complimentary. Reply

I have a directory that is password-protected via apache. I have a "pretty" login so that users can enter their username and password from the web site instead of the usual/ugly apache prompt. Basically, PHP (but it doesn't matter what language) takes the form input and redirects to the destination using a format like this:
Everything works perfectly in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer, I get the following error:
"Windows cannot find 'http://username:email@example.com'. Check the spelling and try again."
What gives? Thanks for any help!
P.S. The PHP is irrelevant. I get the same result if I bypass that step and just enter the redirect URL directly into the browser.
You are aware that putting credentials in the url is really horribly insecure.
Haven't bothered to look but my money would be on IE stomping on this practice to help ensure security.
Yeah, I'm looking for a better way, and you're absolutely right. Internet Explorer no longer supports usernames/passwords in URLs, even over HTTPS. Thanks. I can't seem to figure out whether or not PHP can put the username and password in a cookie that Apache would recognize in order to bypass a second login (.htaccess). Do you know? Nothing I've been able to find seems too clear on the subject, but maybe it's just me...
Sorry, no idea -- really avoid apache and PHP when I can these days . . .
Hi look at storing your hashed passwords in PHP using sessions. You can carry over and verify the password hash on ever page
ServerStorm, I'm confused. I already store the passwords in sessions so that a successful login carries to every page, but I don't know how to make it so that the username and password are read by Apache when the user navigates to an area that has its own, separate security (though the username and password will be the same as those used by PHP in this case). I'm trying to avoid making the users enter their username and password twice. Thanks again for any help.
ServerStorm hit the mark with sessions. However, you will have to read and write sessions as your visitors proceed throughout your website. More security in particilar areas? Encode the visitor's permissions in the session and you don't need add'l Apache logins. I've done that in the past and it works a treat.
Again, I'm already reading and writing sessions. The problem is that I don't control the area that has the Apache login, and it can't be changed. But the client wants its users to be able to enter their username and password on the home page of their web site and have it redirect them to the area that I don't control (it's actually a subdomain) without having the Apache authentication popup kick in (because they'll have already entered a valid username and password).
Sorry, your client does NOT understand how servers work. You'll have to use a healthy of "unobtainium" to resolve HIS problem.
Could you reverse proxy the content using a PHP script that could pass the credentials?
Note this is all pretty moot if the apache server using http authentication isn't running ssl anyhow.
In any case your client probably needs a reality check. Or at least a visceral demo of how easy it is for a user / pass to slip out this way.
As wwb_99 says you would need to have the main-site that gets passed the credentials to use ssl (https). If this was the case, you could use a post widget that posts the credentials to the main-site. To get this to work though, you will need to change the main-site page to accept this, and given that you said you can't change the other site, then I don't know if this is possible?
Also, no matter what method is chosen, it is true that it is very easy to steal passwords without some sort of proxy, ssl and encrypted passwords, so don't do any method until you know that it is secure.
I like @wwb_99's idea about showing a visceral demo :tup:

New York-based creative professionals take note! Odds are, you're familiar with 3rd Ward, the massive workspace in Bushwick full of all sorts of resources, supplies and classes for any creative project that interests you, from woodworking to filmmaking. And if not I just told you the gist of it, so there you go.
But aside from being a great place to learn, create, and promote all sorts of great DIY projects, their newest addition now also makes it a great place to work. Dubbed a "coworking space," it's a modern, bright, airy office designed for collaborating as well as solo work, full of shared desks, personal workstations, conference rooms, plenty of brand new iMacs, free wifi and printing, and of course, free coffee. All of it's designed for any smart creative freelancer, startup or telecommuter who wants to have a place to get their work done while networking with other like-minded people. You can even meet clients and have business mail delivered there.
At the heart of all of this, though, is collaboration. The nice thing about 3rd Ward is that it provides the perfect environment for creativity: step inside and you're surrounded by people in all sorts of different crafts from all sorts of different backgrounds, and everyone has ideas flowing. A graphic designer may not realize they can get inspiration from a welder until it happens, and these sorts of things happen all the time at 3rd Ward.
And of course, we wouldn't recommend anything unless we've seen and experienced it ourselves; 3rd Ward has given Workbook Project a space to shoot at least one RADAR episode, and we also partnered with them for Inside Design as well.

|Went up from Fish Creek. Not a huge gainer (3400') but a distance killer; about 22 miles round-trip. The incline of the trail is too moderate in my opinion; climb up a ridge as soon as you get a chance; it will shave off lots of distance! Other than that, a beautiful side of the wilderness. Go up early; thunderstorms tend to develop late morning.

I went from Vivian Creek TH to San G, then from San G across to San Bernadino, then from San B to Angelus Oaks TH, then I biked back to the Vivian Creek TH. 36 mile day: 8 miles up, 10 miles across, 8 miles down, 10 miles biking.
I did this 36-mile hiking/biking circuit in 2003 also. In 2003, I actually bagged all 9 peaks. Today, I was only concerned about hiking 26-miles in thin air and only bagged three (San G, San B East, San B). Great day. You can read my trip report about the bear on the trail.

|My second backpacking trip at age 15--kind of a trial by fire. It was January of 1984. The weather was good but the snow was rock-solid and dangerous. My crampons kept coming off and sliding down whatever gully I was attempting to climb. I got within about 1500 feet of the summit and turned back due to blisters, intense fear, lack of confidence and those funky, faulty crampons.
I failed again the next year in January of 1985. I was a little more experienced this time but just couldn't make it due to severe shin bang from my Koflach Vivas and blisters on the balls of my feet. I chose to turn around about 1000 feet below the summit before things got worse. I still had a great time.

When you harvested soybeans this fall, did your yield monitor make some wide swings as you moved through the field? Part of the problem was due to the drought and soil type, but part of the problem may have resulted from soybean cyst nematode (SCN) in your field. Although you could not do much to control what yield loss was due to the drought, SCN's role in your lower revenue may have been preventable to a significant degree. Plan this winter to recapture those lost dollars.
SCN has been robbing yields for most soybean producers around the Cornbelt, and there is no better time than the present to reverse that trend, say Ohio State University plant pathologists Anne Dorrance and Terry Niblack. The specialist say high populations of SCN can create huge yield losses, particularly when soybean varieties are planted that are susceptible to their attack on roots.
Unfortunately, since SCN operates below the soil the problem usually is not detectable until harvest time the soybeans do not fill your grain tank as fast as you would have expected. They will be in pockets in the field, especially in no-till fields say Dorrance and Niblack. They report that within a 25-foot span the level of eggs per cup of soil can range from zero to 2,000, and at that point yield losses are measurable. They advise producers to look at the low yield spots in a soybean field and target those areas to sample the soil and begin monitoring the potential problem you have on your entire operation to ensure it does not get out of control and soybean profitability plunges.
SCN resistance within soybean varieties comes from a variety known as PI 88788, but since that has been the dominant source of resistance and has been used for many years, its resistance is wearing down, just like waterhemp and marestail are becoming resistant to glyphosate. Dorrance and Niblack report that some populations of SCN in Ohio are feeding on the roots of soybean plants with the PI 88788 genetics. That means even users of soybean varieties that are supposedly resistant the SCN should begin to monitor SCN populations in their fields.
Nasty, unexpected surprise
The SCN specialists say they have found some fields where SCN populations are more than 10,000 per cup of soil, and producers took their advice to not plant soybeans in those fields for several years in an effort to starve the SCN down to more manageable levels. However, after 3 years of no soybeans, the first crop was still severely damaged by SCN even though the field was planted with a variety that was considered to be resistant. After harvest, soil samples were taken again and SCN populations were still considered too high. Even though the field was in Ohio, similar cases have been reported in Missouri and Iowa where that research was also done. The outcome of the research points to the need to keep populations low, since high populations cannot be reduced.
Suggested control measures
- Rotate the field with non-soybean crops.
- Keep weeds under control which also provide food over the winter.
- Plant varieties with the best SCN resistance genetics.
- Sample the soil in areas of low yield to find out your level of SCN population.
Suggested strategy
- If soil samples show non-detectable levels, and you have a 3-year rotation without double-cropping wheat and soybeans, then sample every 20 years.
- If you have non-detectable levels with a 3-year rotation, and you do double crop wheat and soybeans, then sample every 10 years.
- If you have non-detectable levels and you have a two year rotation of corn and soybeans, sample every 10 years.
- If your SCN populations are 40 to 2,000, and you rotate soybeans with corn and wheat, sample every 5 years.
- If SCN populations are 40 to 2,000, and you plant only soybeans, sample every year.
- If SCN populations are over 2,000, sample every year.
Fall is the best time to sample since it provides an opportunity for the lab to provide a report before you turn in your seed order for the following year.
How do you sample a field? Iowa State University SCN nematode specialist Greg Tylka provides a 9-minute YouTube video of sampling both soybean and corn fields for SCN populations.
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) may have been consuming a good portion of your soybean yield if you noticed spots in your field where yields were much lower than others, but problems were not detectable during the growing season. SCN is now becoming resistant to soybean varieties that have been bred for resistance to SCN. Both rotation with other crops and soil sampling should be done regularly to monitor population levels.

PANDORA — Two trees in Pandora Village
Park are taking on new life. An elm tree on the east side of the park
is being carved into a Pandora-Gilboa Rocket. On the west side of the
park the remains of an ash tree awaits it turn to become a bear,
The idea for the carvings started when
Tree Tech was cutting down the two trees. The elm tree had a disease.
On the second day of cutting Pandora village employees Scott Stant,
Lee Eisenbach and Rick Morrison saw the potential for the over
20-foot high stump to become a carving. Morrison suggested a bear
carving, something he has always wanted for the park. Stant
questioned if a PG Rocket may be more appropriate since the tree sits
near the former P-G school.
Stant approached Mayor John Schlumbohm
about the idea and got the nod of approval. Schlumbohm also garnered
a donation from the Pandora-Gilboa Rocket Boosters to help fund the
carving. Also agreeing to pay for part of the cost was the Pandora
Chamber of Commerce and Ted's Market.
The carver, Jay Leahy, has agreed to
have the carving completed for Ted Fest on Sept. 13.
"Leahy gave us a great price on the
rocket and the bear," Stant said
The Pandora-Gilboa High School Art
Class has agreed to paint the carving the appropriate colors.
When Leahy saw the ash tree on the west
side of the park he suggested this 10-foot high stump would make a
great bear.
"It has two outreaching limbs that
will be perfect for arms,' Leahy said.
Morrison said in a short time they had
individuals and a business also donate toward the carving of this
"We plan to give this carving a more natural look,"
Morrison said. "It will be stained.
Leahy said he doubted if this carving
would be done by Ted Fest.
Leahy, who is employed at Ice Creations
in Napoleon said he does ice carvings for a living. "I do these
wood carvings on the side," he said.

How big is Apple's new iDataCenter in Maiden, North Carolina? It's plenty big, as illustrated by this aerial video posted to YouTube (apparently taken by an area realtor) of the 500,000 square foot facility. The new $1 billion data center will be nearly five times the size of Apple's existing 109,000 square foot Newark, Calif. facility, and is seen as a key component of Apple's cloud computing strategy. The video is brief (about 35 seconds), but provides an interesting perspective on the new facility:
Apple's data center in Maiden is expected to provide the back-end for a larger move into cloud computing, with most speculation focusing on a shift of iTunes user libraries from user desktops to online storage. For those just joining this story, here's a summary of our reporting on Apple's new facility:
- Is an iTunes "Reboot" Driving the iDataCenter Project?
- The iDataCenter and the Cloud
- Maiden iDataCenter Will be 500,000 Square Feet
- It's Official: Apple Data Center to North Carolina
- The Apple-Google Data Center Corridor
- Apple iDataCenter set for Maiden
- Apple Moving Quickly on NC Project
Can this video tell us anything interesting about Apple's data center design and what's happening inside the facility? Have a look at the video and share your insights and theories in the comments.

AGA Says Reliable and Stable Prices for Consumers This Winter
Washington, D.C. - The American Gas Association (AGA) today held a press conference announcing that consumer natural gas prices should be similar to those of last winter. Ample domestic natural gas supplies are available to meet customer needs, and there should be little change in the overall winter bills, even during what is still a very uneven period of economic recovery for the nation.
Natural gas customers will feel even warmer this winter knowing they made the affordable choice to cleanly and efficiently heat their homes, said Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of AGA. Responsible resource development of our nation s vast supply of natural gas has positioned our diverse gas supply sources to meet and even exceed expected demand during the coldest winter months. Natural gas continues to be the best choice for homes when it comes time to turn up the heat
External factors, particularly severe weather, could affect the demand for, and the price of, natural gas and thus winter bills. However, AGA Managing Director of Policy Analysis Chris McGill reminded the attending media that creating a portfolio of natural gas supply for residential and small commercial customers is a process that occurs over time. Primary pricing mechanisms tend to be market based so natural gas price increases and decreases are reflected in consumer bills. Stability in the market today and the near future is a positive element for natural gas customers in the months to come.
Bree Raum, director of government relations at AGA, also joined the press briefing and discussed the importance of Congress acting to fully fund the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which is currently appropriated under the continuing resolution that runs until November 18. Despite the fact that the FY2010 and FY2009 level for LIHEAP was funded at the fully authorized amount of $5.1 billion and FY2011 was funded at $4.7 billion, FY2012 could only be funded at $2.57 billion. If states are forced to operate at the $2.57 billion level, this will mean a roughly 50 percent cut to their home heating assistance budgets.
For more information about energy-saving tips and home-heating assistance provided to consumers by local natural gas utilities, please visit www.aga.org.

Some questions about one example in model library
I am redoing the example of "Terzaghi Compaction", and I have some questions or confusions:
1) In the "Darcy's law----> storage model" section after part "Definition", we just need to set K as K_s, but not point out specific K_s, K_s in "variable" or "Variable 2"? How to distinguish the two when computing?
2) In the "Darcy's law----> storage model" section after part "Materials", we should follow "From the Fluid material list, choose fluid", that means the fluid properties in storage model should come from "Material----->fluid", but we didn't set the properties of solid particles, and set it default as "domain materials", why?

I used regular density foam from airtex, I again went to Joann's and purchased the foam that was on sale!
After the foam was added its time to add the batting on top of the foam. The reason I added the batting is to add that extra layer of softness. We did not staple the seat foam because it fit snuggled between the frame and the fabric will keep it in place once placed on the chair.

About the Book
"Sue, Your Geese Flew Over, Love Laura"
for: Ron and Mary; my parents whose suffering I cannot relieve.
Remember and celebrate what we had. But live for today.
I hope you find as much comfort reading this, as I did creating it.
I cannot claim full authorship of this book, It is more an anthology of collected essays by several writers inspired by Sue's life and our loss. I've included text of the eulogies written by Ronnie Angelus and Rachel Myers. And there's a chapter of articles written by Laura Young, the life-coach, photographer and muse whose work so touched us in the final hours of Sue's life.
Ever the producer, I pull all this together to paint a picture of Sue's life; to create a record and share it with you. My hope is one day years from now, you'll stumble upon this book and leaf through its pages and remember Sue,. And smile. She'd like that.
A special 'Thank You' to Alberto Aguillar who took many of the photos in the back half of this book, including the two amazing pictures of the trumpeter swans.
And finally, 'Thank You' to Laura Young, whose inspired writing was the last gift I shared with Sue.
This book is my way of remembering Sue. To capture the essence of her spirit. And to set it free.
