Effects of Supplemental Dried Distillers Grains or Soybean Hulls on Growth and Internal Parasites Status of Grazing Lambs
View PDF File
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of supplementation of grazing lambs with dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) or soybean hulls (SBH) on growth rate and nematode-parasite status. Over the course of four experiments in consecutive years, 312 lambs were grazed on the same four or six paddocks. Grazing lambs were allotted to one of three supplementation treatments: 1) control, no supplementation (CONT), 2) DDGS, or 3) SBH (Exp. 3 and 4 only). Supplemental DDGS improved (P < 0.01) ADG when compared to CONT, and SBH supplemented lambs were intermediate. An analysis comparing CONT vs. DDGS supplementation across all four experiments revealed a reduction in anthelmintic-treatment rate required when DDGS were supplemented (81.2 percent vs. 30.1 percent for CONT and DDGS, respectively; P < 0.01). Measures of FAMACHA© score, packed-cell volume (PCV), and fecal-egg count (FEC) were recorded in weeks 3, 5, and 10. An analysis comparing just CONT and DDGS supplementation across all four experiments revealed that DDGS supplementation reduced (P < 0.01) FAMACHA score in weeks 3, 5, and 10, but only reduced FEC in week 3 compared to CONT lambs. Supplementation of grazing lambs with DDGS in this study allowed for increased growth, reduced anthelmintic-treatment rate, and reduced risk of becoming anemic as a result of internal parasites.

Performance of Meat Goats Control-Grazed on Winter Annual Grasses
View PDF File
The performance of yearling replacement does and castrated male goats (Capra hircus hircus) controlledgrazed on cereal rye (CR; Secale cereale L.), annual ryegrass (RG; Lolium multiflorum L.) and triticale (TT; Triticosecale rimpaui) was evaluated during a 3-year study. Each year, 54 Boer and Boer-cross goats (avg initial age and BW: 8 mo to 10 mo and 30.4 kg, respectively) were assigned to nine plots (0.19 ha each) each containing six "tester" goats. Additional goats (put and take) were used to control forage growth. Forage species had no effect on ADG; however, castrated males gained more weight than does in year 2 (139 g/d vs. 94 g/d; P < 0.003) and during period 2 in year 3 (224 g/d vs. 146 g/d; P < 0.0004). Gain per ha was greater for RG than CR and TT (year 1: 514, 311, 293 kg, P < 0.001; year 2: 237, 144, 184 kg, P < 0.004; year 3: 528, 268, 149 kg, P < 0.004). In year 3, pH of ruminal fluid, ruminal ammonia and chilled-carcass yield from castrated males grazing RG, CR and TT was similar (avg: 6.67, 25.7 mg/dL and 51.3 percent, respectively), whereas plasma-urea nitrogen (16.4, 21.9, 24.1 mg/dL; P < 0.024), ruminal acetate (62.0, 60.7, 57.7 mM/100mM; P < 0.017), propionate (22.0, 25.2, 27.0 mM/100mM; P < 0.006) and acetate:propionate (2.83, 2.43, 2.22; P < 0.017) differed among forage species. Results indicated that yearling goats achieved satisfactory BW gains when fed only on these forages under controlled, rotational-grazing management, but that RG resulted in significantly greater BW gains per hectare.

Efficacy Of Garlic Juice, Copper Oxide Wire Particles, And Anthelmintics To Control Gastrointestinal Nematodes In Goates
View PDF File
Resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) to anthelmintics and a need for nonchemical control of GIN necessitates investigation of alternative control methods. This study examined the efficacy of garlic juice (99.5 percent pure) (G), copper oxide wire particles (COWP), levamisole (L), moxidectin (M), a combination treatment of COWP and G (CG), and no treatment (C) for GIN control in lactating Boer x Kiko does. Treatments were administered at d 0 and the G treatment was repeated every 7 d throughout the 28 d study. Mixed-model procedures for repeated measures were used to evaluate the effect of treatment and date of sampling on fecal-egg counts (FEC), and percentpacked-cell volume (PCV). Larval cultures from fecal samples at d 0 contained H. contortus, but Telodorsagia and Trichostrongylus were the predominant parasites. There was no difference (P > 0.05) in FEC or PCV of does due to GIN-control method. The PCV was greater (P < 0.05) at d 0 (31.2 percent ± 0.7 percent) when compared to d 7 (29.1 percent ± 0.7 percent), d 14 (28.7 percent ± 1.1 percent), and d 21 (28.8 percent ± 0.8 percent). The PCV at d 28 (23.5 percent ± 0.9 percent) was lower (P < 0.001) than all other sampling d. The FEC did not differ (P > 0.05) at d 0 (756 eggs/g ± 414 eggs/g), d 7 (1349 eggs/g ± 448 eggs/g), and d 14 (1782 eggs/g ± 436 eggs/g). The FEC at d 21 (2259 eggs/g ± 464 eggs/g) was trending (P = 0.08) higher as compared to d 0. The FEC at d 28 (3935 eggs/g ± 449 eggs/g) was greater (P < 0.05) than FEC at all other sampling d. Trichostrongylus and Telodorsagia were the primary GIN species and not H. contortus as is often assumed at the research and farm level. These data support determining which GIN species are present in a goat herd at various times of the year and applying an internal-parasite-management protocol accordingly. Treatments used in this study were not effective in controlling any of the GIN species present.

Effectiveness of Theobromine and Caffeine Mixtures in Coyote Lure Operative Devices as a Predacide: A Simulated Field Study
View PDF File
Predators are capable of causing damage to domestic livestock throughout North America. Lethal responses for managing livestock depredations may include the use of sodium cyanide in M-44 devices. Currently, several states have banned the use of M-44s and several other states are forecast to ban these devices. Therefore, additional tools are being sought to expand the repertoire of options available for managing coyote depredations on domestic livestock. We evaluated the use of a theobromine:caffeine mixture delivered within a Coyote Lure Operative Device (CLOD) as an additional predacide for coyotes (Canis latrans). Results from six trials involving 38 captive coyotes were ambiguous. Issues related to the attractiveness of the CLOD, palatability of the compound, and absorption of the theobromine:caffeine mixture produced mortality levels below the desired >90-percent-mortality rate deemed adequate for laboratory efficacy study to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration and operational use. While many coyotes died from consumption of the theobromine:caffeine mixture, several coyotes recovered with symptoms of poisoning disappearing within 12 hours in those animals that survived exposure to the toxicant. Several issues related to palatability of the mixture and compound delivery, as well as coyote behavior, sensory abilities, and physiology, indicated the use of a theobromine: caffeine mixture in a CLOD may not be an effective method for managing coyote depredations on domestic livestock.

Post-Natal Skin Follicle Development in The Raieni Cashmere Goat
View PDF File
One hundred eighty (180) skin samples were taken from the mid-right side of 30 Raieni Cashmere goat male and female kids at 1 mo, 1.5 mo, 2 mo, 2.5 mo, 3 mo and 3.5 mo of age. Numbers of primary and secondary skin follicles were determined for each sample. Numbers of secondary follicles increased until 3 mo of age, but numbers of primary follicles did not change after birth of the kids. The skin-follicle traits were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by sex, birth type and age of dam.

Research Symposium Utilization of Genomic Information for the Sheep Industry
View PDF File
During the ASI Annual Convention in Scottsdale, Ariz., January 26, 2012, a research symposium Utilization of Genomic Information for the Sheep Industry was co-sponsored by the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) and the American Sheep and Goat Center (ASGC). The Symposium Program Planning Committee consisted of Paul Rodgers, ASI; Will R. Getz, Fort Valley State University; and Larry R. Miller, ASGC, who also served as Moderator. The symposium was somewhat different from previous ASI research symposia, in that it more comprehensively focused on a single topic, involved speakers from different perspectives and engaged participants in more indepth discussion.
Especially in the past two decades, volumes of new genomic and genetic information have been generated by means of new research approaches, techniques, and tools. This information created a challenge to harness, interpret, and utilize the wealth of new genomic/genetic information by drawing upon disciplines, such as biochemistry, genetics, statistics, computer science, animal breeding, and several other sciences associated with the biology of the animal.
The speakers addressed the symposium topic from the following points of view, reflecting their different expertise and experiences: Genomic Information Available for Use by the Sheep Industry, Noelle E. Cockett, Utah State University; Application of Genomic Information for Improvement of Quantitative Traits, David R. Notter, Virginia Tech University; Utilization and Potential of Estimates of Genetic Value from an Industry Perspective, David L. Thomas, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Utilization from a Producer Perspective, Chase T. Hibbard, sheep producer, Helena, Mont.; and Genetic Selection Specifically Utilized for Evaluating the Introduction of Outside Breeds and Measuring Their Potential, John Helle, sheep producer, Dillon, Mont.

Get ready for snow time fun with these Nylon Snow Pants for Kids from Anshu Jain! You can easily make these kids' snow pants using nylon fabric or revamping a pair of nylon pants you already have. This easy tutorial is great for beginning sewers!
- Nylon waterproof fabric : 1 yd (test the fabric to make sure it's waterproof before you use it)
- Coordinating lining fabric (cotton woven) : 10 in X 10 in
- Wide elastic ( 1 inch or more wide) : 1 yd
- Narrow elastic ( 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch wide) : 1/2 yd
- Use the simplest PJ/pants pattern you have to make these pants. Keep the following things in mind while cutting these pants: Make sure you add half an inch to the width (on each side) because you need these pants to fit over multiple layers. Also remove any margin for waistband, because we will be sewing waistband separately.
- If you are making these out of another pants, make sure the hem of your pants fall on the original hemline. That would save you the time of hemming them again.
- First sew the inseams on both legs (leave the bottom two inches or the length until the hems open), then turn one leg right side out, insert into the other, align the middle part and sew along the middle of the pants.
- Set pants aside while we work on the yoke and waistband.
- Cut a semi circle with a 7 inch base from nylon. Cut another one from the lining fabric. Cut the wide elastic in two parts. Place them right sides together and sandwich the elastics between these two layers. Place the elastics such that they are about 2 inches apart at the top of semi-circle. Sew a seam along the circular part, making sure you're catching all the layers as well as elastic ends. Cut notches in the fabric along the seam. Turn out.
- For the waistband, measure around the top of the pants. Let's call this length W. Cut two pieces of width W+1 inch and length 3 inches, one from vinyl (outer shell), one from interlock (lining).
- Sew each of the W+1 inch pieces into a tube by sewing along the 3 inch side (right sides together, half inch sewing margin). So now you will have two tubes of periphery W. Line up these tubes right sides together such that the seams are aligned.
- Sandwich the yoke we just made in step 1 between the two layers of the waistband. Make sure the vinyl side of the yoke is facing vinyl side of the waistband. Sew along the edge, just the part where the yoke is.
- Now decide what length you want your elastics to be, and where they will be positioned in the back. I recommend a criss-cross placement for a snug fit, but you could also do them side by side. Once you have decided the length and placement, pin the elastics and sandwich them between the right sides of nylon and interlock such that when we turn the waistband out they will be attached to the waistband without any twists. If you're not sure, try to hand baste with running stitches and see if they turn out correctly.
- Now that the top part is done (except for the elastic at waist), sew the whole top to the bottom with the right sides of nylon together. Sew all around the waist and make sure you center the yoke at the front center of pants.
- Now turn the whole thing right side out. Does it begin to look like a snow bib? Top-stitch close to the upper edge of waistband. Now fold the interlock lining of the waistband on the inside and sew along its lower edge from the outside. In this seam leave two gaps of 1.5 inches on either side of the yoke. These will be used to insert elastic.
- Insert an elastic in the back of waistband, using the gaps you left in step 8. Sew the elastic on both sides, reinforce with multiple seams. Now sew the gaps shut.
- If you have used the hems of original pants to be the hem of these snow-pants, you could use the existing hems as casing. Insert the elastic in the hems using the opening left in step 2. Pull it such that the leg cuffs are comfortably snug on the child's leg. Now sew the opening shut by sewing on the inseams until you reach the bottom.
- If you have made these from fabric, fold it one quarter inch, and then fold it 3/4 inch ( with a one inch gap) to make a casing. Now insert a narrow elastic in this casing. Sew both ends of the elastic together and sew the opening shut. Repeat for the other leg. Now you're ready to play in the snow!

stevel114 - Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - linkOk, I bought the case and put my system in it. It's a water cooled Asus 790 SLI with 2 280 GTX video cards. I have 2 Velocityraptor drives and a 1000watt PS. First, is it any louder than my Coolmaster stacker case, no mayber quieter since less fans are running. The loudest noise are the fans on the video cards and in the PS. The design keeps all the cabling inside for the most part, very clean look. Since my XFX 280 video cards don't have the bulge on top there was no problem installing them at all. I think the large cooling fan on top is keeping temps down over all. Blows on the video, chipsets and hard drives hanging on the side. Since I almost always take the side panels off the case to change parts this works for me. Things they could do better. Change the bracket for the cards to a stronger material, plastic not a good thing. Routing cables inside needs small hands. Once the PS in very hard to work cables around. Over all, a good case that is different. Aloha Reply
mindless1 - Monday, October 20, 2008 - linkFor my purposes of initial testing, hacking, troubleshooting, etc, an open frame case would be ideal. However Antec pretty much ruined this by using the bulky stylized support beams and fan on top. If they insisted on having a fan it should have sat at the front edge of the board and blew sideways instead of down.
I'm sure I could wiggle my hand in barely but it's not the same at all, I can already wiggle my hand into a normal case. Reply
kod4krome - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkNo I would not use this as my everyday case. But I have to say that I'm definetly going to pick one of these up for tinkering/building new machines. I think Antec is betting on people like myself who seem to be tinkering with a different machine every week or two... for that this seems like a godsend. I've come very close to buying a HSPC Tech Station but I think this looks like a nicer solution. Reply
nubie - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - link"All of the cables hang out the back of the case, since there is nowhere to hide them."
I disagree, route them all to the left and down one of the "legs", it looks pretty crappy as-is. (FP Audio/USB/Power and LED connections are always on the 'bottom' of the motherboard, so route the wires there.)
Honestly, for $140 they can't afford a bit of plastic or some zip-ties to hide these in?
Interesting that they failed on a pretty standard video card, maybe if they raise up that 'fan shroud' thingy it would work better? Or make that fan thingy removable, so you can choose to run without it. I was this close to calling it an awesome case, but if it looks like this and fails on actually being able to hold components (the one thing it could do in trade for the ridiculous looks) then I don't know what to say but Fail.
I am still waiting to see my dream case, which would have the back of the motherboard face to the front, so I can access all of the back panel connections. It shouldn't be hard to swap the PSU slot for a couple 5.25" bays, but I have never seen one.
If you need a PC "test-bed", chances are you have already bought one. They are considerably cheaper, and made of aluminum or plastic. Reply
MAIA - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI just had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine while watching the several pics:
Me - "Hmmmm, I can see where I can flip the burgers"
My friend - "Wow, an upside down overcraft ..." Reply
Linden - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI am torn. Emotionally, I very much like the design and innovation of this Skeleton. As a system builder, tweaker, and overclocker, I see so much fun and ease of use with that frame-case (but maybe it's a pain in the but for high performance CPU heatsink mounting?).
Noise. Hmm, what would it sound like? Maybe not so bad with a low-flow 120mm fan on the CPU heatsink and a passive cooler on the video card, such as the Arctic Cooling Accelero?
This is definitely a case targeted for a limited demographic-- 1) no small children, 2) no inquisitive pets, 3) dust tolerant or willing to clean often, 4) ample desk/room space for the large footprint....
But I want one! Reply
Linden - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkLooking at the top fan frame assembly, it appears to be attached to the lower assembly with screw-type hardware, one for each arm. Is that correct? If so, what effort is involved in removing the fan and it's support assembly. If that is not labor intensive, that would be a solution for relatively easy installation of large CPU heatsinks and video cards with a "bulge."
I am looking forward to the full review. Reply

SpatulaCity - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkI actually think it looks interesting in it's own special way, but I really like the fan on top idea. I do worry about the EMI since I have so many other electronics in the same closet.
Are there any other enclosed computer cases hat have a fan on top like this one does? I utilize a duct fan to suck air out of my computer closet and I would like to hook it up to a main computer ventilation fan directly. Reply

Randybob - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkNo cooling information? Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkOpen up your current case, you will then have the same temperature your CPU would have in that case. Since it is open there is not much difference as the mobo would just lie on the table. The additional airflow from the top just keeps it at room temp, can't be less ;) Reply
judeau - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkIf I opened my current case I wouldn't have a giant fan on top of it blowing air. I don't expect it to drop below room temp but I want to know how close to room temp it stays as you pump power through it.
How loud is that 250mm fan? How much air does it push? In the article you say you wouldn't want it on your desk because computers are loud. How loud was this case compared to others? Obviously 3 vid cards will make it quite loud but is it possible to get a decent setup that woudl be quiet?
I think Randybob is just confused since this review doesn't do any of the standard benchmarking/comparisons usually seen at anandtech like their recent review of the HTPCs which had temp readings, fan speed info and noise info.
Overall I'm a little dissapointed there wern't more details about the case or any testing with it. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkThat's why it's called a blog. I want to test it a little longer. In general I use the cases for a few month to check their usability in daily life before writing a review about it.
As for being quiet, I don't think you are going to build a silent PC with that case :D But the fan is not very loud at all. I will have these readings as well in a following review. Be sure about it... Reply
judeau - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkMy Bad. Didn't realize it was a blog not an actual review. Was showing up top where I usually find reviews and under the "More Reviews" section. It does say blog so I should have realized. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkMost blogs go to the lower area, but there wasn't much else up when I posted this and I figured it was interesting enough to warrant promotion to a "top of page" position. Seems like the number of comments support that, since most blog posts don't get more than 10-20 responses. Even if half of these comments are to say, "Wow, that is one ugly case!" LOL Reply
Crucial - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkWhy would you need that in an advertisement fluff piece? Reply
TA152H - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkThis is the perfect case for people that never quite get around to putting all the sides of their case. You know, you don't want to close it until you get that new hard drive in, or replace the fan, or put the extra memory in. Of course, sometimes (often?), I never do anything with it, despite always having these intentions. Am I alone in this? Maybe not; this case seems to make me feel a little less stupid, since it might be made for those of us who have this failing.
I am guilty of this just as often as I put the sides on. But this is better, since it allows convention to work better since the top is also, mostly, open.
It may not be so attractive, but it's more attractive than my computer cases that I never quite get around to closing.
Also, it would use less power than a normal case, for the simple reason you need less fan power to get air out of the case. But, you'd have to use low noise components, since it's not only failing to block EM radiation, it's also not blocking noise.
I don't think it's for everyone, but I think it is for someone. That's really all any case can hope for.
I like the idea, and think it will be a success.
piasabird - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkMy first thought is it is just too large. I cant see putting this on top of a desktop ever. Instead of making really large computers we need smaller computers.
The other thing is if you have children poking their fingers in to touch or move the wires all I can see is Zap or electrocution of children.
Also in a well designed case, you can pull air through the case and cool off the Drives. In this case this does not seem possible. Then fan noise can not be blocked in an open case. Also Vibration noise can not be reduced in an open case. What you will not get though is the amplification of these items when inside a case.
While this case design is interesting as a showpiece you need room for it and it is not children friendly. Reply
djc208 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkA 500W PSU and a triple SLI setup. Does that actually run properly, or was that just to show a PSU installed? I've read the 1000+ watt monsters aren't necessary but that seems a little small. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkFinally one who actually saw that. Just wanted to show how you install a PSU. I tried PSUs with 80mm and 120mm fan to check if there is enough space for airflow. I am running that triple SLI with the PCPower 860W AT Edition. Reply

7oby - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkI did put a smiley, which means my posting shouldn't be taken literally.
For those who've been in IT business for more than 15 years, it's verly likely they came in touch with the Amiga the one or the other way. At that time a x86 PC was always a cuboid either staying on the one side (desktop) or the other (tower). There wasn't even such thing as a midi tower let alone HTPC case. Only companies such as Atari, Apple, C=/Amiga were designing other shaped computers.
Since a cube has the largest volume among cuboids with a given surface area, you could call that in a certain sense efficient. And companies who design efficient solutions are innovative even besides the aesthetic aspects. Showing other companies have innovative before.
To sum it up: I think my post will put a smile on some geek's faces. Reply
TA152H - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkActually, most professionals never came across an Amiga - it was a toy machine. Atari's were typical keyboard and computer design. Macs have always been strange shaped, and always slow and overpriced. We used to call them MacIntoys. Amigas were also pretty boring in terms of shape as well. A prototype doesn't mean the same thing as a production machine.
x86 computers came in many shapes and forms (although none of them would be considered exotic). The PS/2 line alone had several different shapes, from the small Model 50/70, and the 55/56/76, the mid-sized desktop Model 90 (the machine I used mostly at the time) to the larger desktop cases like the 77. There were also towers, like the 60/80 initially, and the 95 which was shorter and wider. The 95 would be a mid-tower by today's standards. The point is, they made all the sizes they needed, and there were multiple sizes so you could get what you really wanted.
The cases of a PS/2 were FAR superior to the junk you can buy today. Most of the geeks here would struggle to even lift a PC/AT or PS/2 Model 80. They were much more advanced back then too; the PS/2 Model 70 could be taken about without a screwdriver, and didn't even have a single ribbon, cable, etc... in it. You could take the entire computer apart in less than a minute.
I collect antique computers and have PS/2s that were never used, and some PC/ATs, so I am not going on memory only. I had to lift a PC/AT the other day, and still am surprised at just how heavy it is. The keyboards were also very heavy.
Stuff now is high-speed junk. It's fine because we replace it before it goes bad, most of the time, but my Tandy 3000 I bought for around 5K in 1986 still runs fine today, and I did things that you would never think of doing with today's computers. Back then, you actually had to have some skill to overclock. It was not as simple as changing BIOS settings and then pounding your chest like you've done something. You'd have to unsolder the crystal, and buy another one, and solder it in, and hope you didn't screw anything up. On some old machines, before the PC, to do upgrades, you'd have to cut electrical connections, and run wires and solder them in for certain upgrades. Uggggh. But, my Tandy 3000 went through this a few times, and still never complains, and has been running overclocked (10 MHz) by 25% almost since the beginning.
New machines are fast, and they are cheap, but, in terms of quality, they are much lower. It's a good tradeoff though, since computers only have a limited useful lifespan for most people. Also, they are much easier to move. The weight of old computers is unreal.
kondor999 - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkYour sort of 'professional" is what made me leave Tech and go to medical school. You are completely out of touch with modern tech, aren't you?
Overclocking a Tandy 3000 by 10%? Swapping crystals? Who the Hell cares?
And if you think it doesn't take some skill to overclock today - you're hopelessly uninformed. You ever build a custom liquid nitrogen cooler for that Tandy? No - I suppose not. Do you even know what a Peltier cooler is?
Maybe you should pull your head out of your ass, stop screwing with 25 year old useless junk (like that Tandy) and learn something about the current state of the art.
Jeez, I'm 42 - but you sound like my grandfather. The only people who still think the Amiga and Mac were toys are bitter old fossils who fail to recognize that both the the Mac (for its brilliant interface) and the Amiga (for its innovation in using seperate chips for graphics and sound) were instrumental in creating the modern PC that we know and love today.

Clauzii - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkI have a PS/2 Model 30. Still works and yes, can be taken apart faster than any modern PC :D Reply
TestAccount - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkContrary to popular belief, the PC was more of a toy machine than the Amiga based on game sales.
The Amiga's professional sector was video (editing / rendering / broadcast graphics). So quite a bit of professionals came across the Amiga. If any of you remember the Newtek's Video Toaster you know what I am talking about. Also the "channel channel" as I used to call it, aka the guide channel on cable, was run on Amigas. Every now and then when they would update the guide, you could see the Workbench in the background. Reply
TA152H - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkYou're using pretzel logic. Everything on a PC sold better than on an Amiga. So, considering the huge installed base of PCs, naturally even games sold better. Proportionally, especially back then, PCs were the business machines, and Amigas were much less. I never saw one in a business in my life. I'm not saying no one used them, but they were by no means something most people came across as the original poster had said.
I'm not knocking them, by the way, they just weren't business machines. I liked the 68K line a lot, and I hated x86 assembly with a passion. The 68K was much more elegant, but the operating system for the Amiga was primitive compared to OS/2, and they simply didn't have the quality of software available for it. And, of course, with IBM being so important back then, connectivity with mainframes was very important as well. I don't think the Amiga had a 3270 emulator, but maybe it did.
It's a pity that everything is based on the x86 now, arguably the worst instruction set from that era. It's a real irony that the worst one won, because of a poorly thought out decision by IBM to use a clearly inferior processor (as compared to the 68K). Now we're stuck with it :-P. Reply

emilyek - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkIs Antec trying to create a liability lawsuit machine?
People will spill their Mountain Dew in it.
Or perhaps people's babies or pets will decide to poke around in it while it's running.
Seems like a bad idea to me. Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkUnfortunately Antec can't make sure its customers are not stupid, so they might have to throw a label on the box that says something to the effect of "If you have kids or rodents don't buy this case". Reply
Griswold - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkAgreed. But they can protect themselves with a huge red sticker on top of it saying "do not pour liquids on your computer, keep out of reach of your children and pets and do not poke the little gizmos with a pen or similar objects". :p Reply
Risforrocket - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkMeh. Too open, too unprotective of expensive and delicate computer parts. And it's not really cool enough to overcome those faults. I won't buy one. Reply
mmntech - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkIt's probably a dust magnet too. They've had cases like this for ages and in the past, they've not been recommended for permanent use. I definitely wouldn't put this in a house with kids. Reply
greylica - Monday, October 13, 2008 - linkThis is a great innovation for overclockers, but need more attention on details like those of the VGA fans. Probably a 120MM Tower willn´t fit into the case too.
Another great Idea is to put a grid outside the unit for cover, only to avoid some problems with curious persons that can´t resist to put a finger where isn´t alowed.
(Touch memory when the system is running ?:P )
To improve better cooling, a big fan without a duct can´t help a lot, most of the airflow is lost, then we prefer 4- 80X80 or 90X90 MM fans in the top with plastic ducts and temperature control. (tpc controller)
But well, this is a great change and an art piece for pcs.
Like some naked motorcycles, this atr case could be improved as well to the point we can admire a piece of art inside the desk. Reply
4wardtristan - Monday, October 13, 2008 - linkfor such a space age design, it doesnt look that spacious Reply
Martimus - Monday, October 13, 2008 - link"An open case like this does not have any EMI protection, which means in the worst case you will have problems with radio and/or TV reception when the system is on, particularly if it's near your stereo/television."
I looks like a Faraday cage to me. It doesn't look very susceptible to EMI to me. Reply
Griswold - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkYou dont seem to be familiar with the faraday cage concept - that or something is wrong with your eyes. :P
Otherwise you would know, that it has to be enclosed entirely by a conductive material, be it solid or a mesh. This thing has huge holes on all sides and therefore it will neither be protected from outside EMI nor will it keep EMI contained. Reply
Aluvus - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkA Faraday Cage encloses all sides with (usually) a metal mesh. This case has no shielding on the top area where the motherboard sits(superstructure looks to be mostly plastic, and is very open regardless), and the drive area is open on 2 sides. The case will provide very little protection from EMI. Reply
Goty - Monday, October 13, 2008 - linkNot enclosing all sides of the case just means it would radiate preferentially from the open sides. To completely block all emission, the system would have to be completely enclosed.
I honestly don't see EMI being a big factor. How many cases do you see out there with windows in the side? Now, how many of those do you see causing any sort of noticeable interference with any other consumer electronics? Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, October 13, 2008 - linkActually, I've seen quite a bit of problems with radio interference. In fact, my radio reception in my house is *terrible* - probably has to do with the number of PCs/laptops downstairs. The real question is: how many people still listen to or watch OTA radio and TV transmissions? About the only time I have the radio on is in my car these days, and I've been using cable or satellite TV for two decades or more. Reply
Spacecomber - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkI think that the problem is with more than just OTA radio/TV reception. Wires and other components in your electronic equipment can act as antennas in your electronic hardware and pick up (and transmit) this noise. This can add unwanted background noise to your HiFi, for example.
I'm using a fairly well shielded computer as a music server, and I find that I have to be careful how some of the wires lay in relation to one and other in order to keep the background noise level as low as possible. Reply
Screammit - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkMy cable provider charges extra for HD capability, now that you can get OTA HD service on major networks, I just use that, as there is no loss in signal quality and I can't get comedy central in HD yet :P
and I have definitely noticed a problem getting a signal with my HTPC turned on Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkAnyway, there is no reason to argue about it. In the European Union it is forbidden to sell products that aren't protected which means you cannot have any opening larger than 1cm². I am still searching for U.S regulations though but I am sure Antec can also bring some light into this matter. Reply
Spacecomber - Monday, October 13, 2008 - linkI'm not an electronics expert by any means; so, I was wondering, how would one go about testing a case for whether it is susceptible to radiating electronic noise? I was curious about whether the case that looked like a kick bass drum might have a problem with this, as well (since the enclosure wasn't made of metal). Reply
shabby - Monday, October 13, 2008 - linkHave you guys tried mounting tall tower heatsinks? I would hope theres enough space for them. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkThere is space for most bigger heatsinks. With some exeptional big ones you might have the same problem like we had with the gfx and you would need to install them later though. Just go like this, everything as tall as a normal size graphics card will fit perfectly. When it's taller it will still fit, but after the slide went back. It also depends on where exactly your CPU socket is located since some might sit a little higher (closer to the upper edge) some a littler lower. Reply

Lincoln Highway? There's an app for that
Modern meets historical at the Ligonier Theater, a building that housed a blacksmith shop in the 1920s.
Along with many other decades-old landmarks along Route 30, the theater is stepping into the present day to spread the word about its activities.
"With the code ... it's a whole new electronic step," said Cathi Rhodes, director of the Valley Players of Ligonier, which calls the theater home.
The code she's referring to is one that can open new doors for Route 30 corridor travelers, businesses and attractions. The Lincoln Highway Experience is a web-based smartphone Quick Response code that can connect travelers with destinations.
Smartphone or tablet users can scan a Quick Response code that will take them directly to the mobile-friendly website www.lincolnhighwayexperience.org .
Stickers with the code -- similar to a black-and-white bar code -- can be found in the windows of selected businesses, historic sites and attractions along Route 30 and on the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor's website at www.lhhc.org .
Olga Herbert, executive director of the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor, said the code meets the immediate needs of travelers.
"Visitors often find themselves in a new area for a certain event -- wedding, conference or getaway -- and want to know what else there is to do there," she said.
The Lincoln Highway Experience provides the same information as local tourist centers, just with new technology, Herbert said. Destination listings come with an address, phone number and website.
The "cutting-edge" technology released late in the summer is a great way for businesses and attractions to market themselves, said Julie Donovan, director of marketing and public relations at Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau.
"It's a very effective way to bring attention to the businesses along Lincoln Highway," she said. "It drives Web traffic, and the Web is where the majority of travelers find their information."
New destinations are added to the Lincoln Highway Experience regularly. More than 200 establishments selected by the heritage corridor are listed: from North Huntingdon to Gettysburg.
The content management system was developed by Fireman Creative of Pittsburgh. It was funded by a marketing grant from the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau and the Franklin County Visitors Bureau.
"It is yet another way to help support and market small businesses along our six-county corridor," Herbert said.
Up close and personal
Plenty of locations in Unity Township, Latrobe and Ligonier are listed as destinations, including the Ligonier Valley Railroad Museum, the St. Vincent Gristmill and Latrobe Community Park.
Users of FourSquare, a location-based social website, can "check in" at Lincoln Highway Experience destinations and provide tips to other users.
One user touted Fort Ligonier as the "historical treasure that is what made our town."
And Keystone State Park campers are warned to keep food locked up at night: "The raccoons are lively."
An Extra Mile Rewards program is built in for locations that want to offer a special treat for users, such as a discount or freebie, Herbert said.
"Many have expressed interest to be a part of this, and our staff is working hard to catch up with all those requests," she said.
Even though her business is not directly on Route 30, Kara Kadagishvili thinks the benefits of being part of the Lincoln Highway Experience can attract traffic onto neighboring roads.
For Kadagishvili's restaurant, Chef Dato's Table in Derry Township on Route 711, the future is taking advantage of technology.
"I like working with the Lincoln Highway group, and it's more to get people" to local businesses and attractions, Kadagishvili said.
"We like it," she said. "All the social media is a great way to advertise."

An Equivalent Seriously WTF Moment
Slow poker news day, so we're sitting around racking our brains trying to figure out what an equivalent "seriously wtf" moment would be to seeing a shirtless Lee Watkinson with panthers on a billboard outside McCarren International in Las Vegas … …and that moment would be sitting on a sofa in 1983, watching Mtv, and this fucking thing comes on for the first time.

A 57-year-old Ogden woman died late Saturday from injuries she suffered earlier that evening in a traffic crash.
The Utah Highway Patrol is still notifying her family has not disclosed the woman's name, though UHP spokesman Jesse Valenzuela said the woman and two passengers in her car were all from Ogden.
Just after 6 p.m. Saturday, the woman, a 24-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man were travelling north on Interstate 15 when their vehicle rolled near Brigham City. The older woman was driving and it appears she suffered from a medical condition that caused her to pass out, Valenzuela said.

Perhaps it sounds like a commonplace observation, but one of the hotly debated statements about public education is just this simple: Poverty hurts student achievement in schools.
Obvious, yes, but in many education circles that observation can lead to a heated dispute over whether poverty is destiny and public schools can't be expected to produce excellence, or even adequacy, with such material as provided by America's poorest neighborhoods.
Yet we can see examples in public schools in New Orleans where if poverty hurts, some schools are finding ways to do better, sometimes significantly better, with students from poor backgrounds.
This is a reason why reformers around the country are looking to New Orleans for answers.
In New Orleans, 84 percent of public school students met the standard definition of poorer students, eligible for free- or reduced-price lunches, according to data from the state Department of Education.
Yet in the 2013-14 school year, says a new report from the Cowen Institute at Tulane University, that high number — which in many schools it is close to 100 percent — did not exactly correlate to poor academic performance.
Instead, since the pre-Katrina school year of 2004-05, the average of school performance scores has increased 41 percent in New Orleans, compared with the statewide increase of about 16 percent.
That is a pretty significant increase, and one that came even as the dislocations of the storms and levee failures of 2005 caused significant economic problems in the city; the Cowen report said the student population in poverty in New Orleans has increased 9 percent since 2005.
Along the way, school performance scores have been adjusted, but the Cowen study accounts for those changes.
The report is a "by the numbers" comparison, noting that New Orleans' 84 percent of students with free- or reduced-lunches is greater than that of other major cities.
Nor does the Cowen report draw conclusions from this data alone, but it shows that there are schools rated F on the grading scale of the state department that have the very highest percentage of poorer students — but not all schools are that way.
We think this report is quite suggestive that some good things are going on in New Orleans schools.
Is there a silver bullet for the impact of poverty on student learning? Clearly, some schools remain afflicted by a level of poverty so pervasive that it is a huge challenge to overcome, however dedicated the teachers and staff.
It might more accurately be said that poverty still is a staggeringly significant factor in the lives of young people in our city, and there are as many secrets to success as there are schools, charter or traditional or magnet, beating the odds.
By the numbers, though, some things are going in the right direction.

Jodha Akbar is now at a crucial point where Jalal has decided to face his enemy in person. Jodha and Akbar come to Amer to attend the wedding, where Pratap too is invited. Love blossoms while enemies lurk within Jalal's people.
Jodha Akbar get into trouble when they decide to go on boating. Jodha and Akbar would relax for a bit when they would get attacked. Jalal, who is always alert would assure Jodha that she does not have to worry since he is with her.
Akbar would decide to attend the wedding in Amer even though he knows it is trouble. He decides to win the hearts of whom he could not defeat in war. Though he knows Pratap, his enemy, might be attending the wedding, Jalal would prepare to attend with Jodha. Pratap, however, would decide to not attack Jalal since there would be women with him.
Akbar along with Jodha would leave to Amer. On the way, Jodha and Jalal would take a private round of boating since Jodha likes boating. The duo would be having a good time alone, away from any interference, until they would be attacked in the middle of the river.
Jalal would assure her that she does not have to worry since he is with her. They row to the shore and Jalal is furious he is attacked even with such tight security. Jalal would suspect the enemy is lurking amongst them.
They reach Amer, where they receive warm welcome. Jalal, who knows Pratap is in the same palace, would come face to face with him. Also, the romance between Jalal and Jodha is blossoming too. Jodha, on her own spends the night in the jungle in Jalal's tent. Since she is the only wife around Jalal for now, she decided to apply the medicine with her own hands.
While romance keeps Jalal's mind occupied, the enemy amongst his own plot to harm him. Let's wait and watch what happens next on Jodha Akbar tonight.
Jalal Flirts With Jodha
Jalal has always been a little flirty with Jodha. He prefers to talk no politics with her, like he does with Ruqaiya.
Jodha's Punishment
Jodha's punishment for putting Jalal in such trouble is to cook his meals entirely herself in Amer.
They Get Attacked
Jodha and Akbar would get attacked when they were in the middle of the river. Jalal says not to worry and he will take care of her.
Jalal Suspects
Jalal suspects that the attack was from someone amongst themselves and not any outsider.
Jodha and Akbar reach Amer for a lavish welcome as this was the first time they are here after their wedding.

MOBILE, Ala. • Officials say a Carnival cruise ship that had been disabled for days in the Gulf of Mexico has broken away from its moorings in a Mobile, Ala. shipyard.
The U.S. Coast Guard tweeted Wednesday afternoon that high winds are likely to blame for the Triumph becoming dislodged.
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen says the ship drifted and is resting against a cargo vessel. Gulliksen says tug boats and U.S. Coast Guard officials are on the scene.

When planets collide there are significant consequences. What is not clear from the recent price action in offshore markets is whether it is just a glancing blow and a relatively minor adjustment, or a head-on collision and the start of a more serious correction.
The tension has been increasing over the past few weeks and has resulted in a long overdue self-evaluation by investors.
Europe was whipsawed. Initially The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that the Bundesbank was willing to back an array of stimulus measures by the ECB next month if needed to fight unacceptably low inflation. Then ECB executive board member Peter Praet told Die Zeit newspaper the ECB was preparing a range of policy measures to boost growth.
That caused quite a stir and gave European government bonds another boost. On Wednesday, 10-year bund yields dropped 5 basis points to 1.37 per cent and 10-year French OAT yields fell 7 basis points to 1.81 per cent. The peripheral joined the tightening train; Spanish 10-year bonds fell 7 basis points to 2.84 per cent and 10-year Irish bond yields dropped 3 basis points to 2.63 per cent – both record lows.
Those movements also had a strong influence on USTs; on Wednesday, 10-year yields lost a further 7 basis points to 2.54 per cent, the lowest since October 2013.
Then on Thursday, Europe got off on the wrong foot, with plenty of weak GDP data to go around. Eurozone Q114 GDP came in at just 0.2 per cent (consensus 0.4 per cent). Germany was once again top of the class with GDP at 0.8 per cent (cons. 0.7 per cent). However there were plenty of dunce's hats to be worn: France at 0.0 per cent (cons. +0.1 per cent); Italy at -0.1 per cent (cons. +0.2 per cent); and let's not forget Holland at -1.4 per cent (cons. 0.0 per cent).
That saw peripheral equity markets getting slammed, Italy slumped 3.6 per cent, its biggest one-day fall since February 2013. Spain's benchmark index fell 2.4 per cent and the French CAC was off 1.3 per cent. Peripheral bonds also shared the pain: 10-year Italian yields rose 19 basis points to 3.10 per cent and 10-year Spanish yields jumped 16 basis points to 3.02 per cent.
However, core European government bonds rallied, as investors shunted into perceived safe-haven assets; 10-year bund yields lost 6 basis points to 1.31 per cent and 10-year French OAT yields dipped 5 basis points to 1.76 per cent (the lowest in about 1 year).
Experts urge caution
Then on to the US, where economic data was mixed – jobless claims were good; the lowest in seven years no less – but there were plenty of depressing figures to contend with. I think the industrial production and capacity utilisation data would have surprised most; again going back to my concerns that the recent slowdown has been caused by underlying weakness and not just the cold weather.
The result saw US equities sell off, with small caps leading the carnage and investors flocking to USTs; 10-year yields were crushed another 6 basis points to 2.49 per cent.
Fortunately for shell-shocked investors, Friday's bond and equity markets were relatively calm.
Meanwhile, the voices of caution continue to grow; and these are opinions of experienced investors that are worth listening to.
David Tepper, founder of $US20 billion hedge-fund firm Appaloosa Management who knows a thing or two about distressed investing, said, "I am nervous. I think it's nervous time . . . I'm not saying go short, I'm just saying don't be too frickin' long right now."
Howard Marks, the chairman of Oaktree Capital, which manages $US86 billion, said, "the rise of shares can't go on forever, and some day there is a day of reckoning. That's why we have crises – they serve to remind people that risk awareness and risk limitation are important virtues . . . If the tide hasn't gone out for many years, people may not understand the need for risk control and may engage in risky behaviour – which will bite them when a correction occurs."
At the moment, the bond and equity markets are in an almost in perfect opposition – equities are still close to all-time highs and government bond yields at record lows. The seismic tension is building – like two tectonic plates on a transforming boundary, grinding past each other – and will eventually be released, as these views cannot hold stable over the long term.
Low-bond yields indicate that fixed-income investors believe further support is likely to be forthcoming from central banks, as growth is still expected to be sub-optimal. Equities, on the other hand, have a very different view, with prices supported by earnings growth, more M&A, potentially more QE and a strong economic recovery.
Given the recent tremors in the markets, investors should be braced for further volatility, with equities looking vulnerable to say the least.
Have a good week.

Sign up for our weekly email * The Chinese state-controlled oil and gas explorer CNOOC has signed an agreement to acquire the Canadian energy firm Nexen for approximately $15.1bn in cash, or $27.50 per common share. The transaction, expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012, will improve CNOOC's presence in Canada, Nigeria and the Gulf of Mexico and adds a significant presence in the North Sea and diversifies its growth platform. Nexen said its assets in the UK, US and other countries will continue to be managed from its regional offices and CNOOC will retain the current management and employees in those operations, as well as continue to work with local suppliers. Li Fanrong, CEO of CNOOC, said: We believe the transaction provides a number of significant benefits to Canada and to Nexen. CNOOC Limited looks forward to welcoming all of Nexen's employees to its worldwide team and we will clearly benefit from having Nexen employees play an important part in our international business growth platform. In addition, the transaction is a reflection of our disciplined M&A strategy which is focused on resources, risk and return. Kevin Reinhart, interim CEO of Nexen, said: CNOOC Limited is one of the largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies in the world. This transaction will allow for significant investment in our business and opens the door to new opportunities for our employees. After completion of this acquisition, CNOOC is planning to establish Calgary as the head office of its North and Central American operations and will retain Nexen's current management team and employees.

779 F2d 53 United States of America v. Michael D Stevens
779 F.2d 53
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,
MICHAEL D. STEVENS, Defendant-Appellant.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Sixth Circuit Rule 24(c) states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Sixth Circuit.
BEFORE: MARTIN, CONTIE and WELLFORD, Circuit Judges.
This matter is before the Court upon consideration of the response to this Court's show cause order.
It appears from the record that the final order was entered June 11, 1985. The notice of appeal filed on July 10, 1985, was 19 days late. Rules 4(b) and 26(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. A motion for extension of time was filed in the district court on August 26, 1985, and denied on August 27, 1985.
The failure of an appellant to timely file a notice of appeal deprives an appellate court of jurisdiction. Compliance with Rule 4(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, is a mandatory and jurisdictional prerequisite which this Court can neither waive nor extend. Peake v. First Nat. Bank and Trust Co. of Marquette, 717 F.2d 1016 (6th Cir. 1983). Rule 26(b), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, specifically provides that this Court cannot enlarge the time for filing a notice of appeal.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be and it hereby is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(a)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

The turnip is an often overlooked vegetable with a low reputation. Writers wax poetic about tomatoes or apples- even the potato, but the turnip, not so much. Some people are familiar with a common preparation of the vibrant leafy turnip greens simmered with bacon, which is delicious, by the way. But, it is just hard to get most people excited about turnips. Even though turnips are abundant this time of year, they aren't included as a holiday staple on most Thanksgiving tables. I once tried to include turnips in my family's Thanksgiving meal, and I was greeted with opposition and hostility. Eek! But, that doesn't stop me from experimenting with different turnip preparations. Below, you will find some turnip facts and a few recipes to encourage you to experiment with including this humble vegetable into your family meals.
Let's take a look at the many virtues of the turnip. It is inexpensive and adaptable to many climates and types of soil, which makes it a cold-weather staple crop in many parts of the world. If you've never tried a turnip, it has a sweet, tender but crisp flesh and a mild bite, similar to mustard oil. Turnips can be eaten raw or cooked, much the same as a radish. Grated raw turnips serve as a digestive aid. Cooking sweetens the turnips and mellows their bite. They strengthen the blood and are good for general detoxification. I like eating raw, fresh, young turnips, sliced very thin with a sprinkle of good salt. Beautiful colored sea salts provide a nice visual contrast to the white flesh of the turnip.
A visit to the Edible Schoolyard right now means you will see lots of cabbages, dark leafy greens, lettuces, herbs, gourds- and yes, turnips! Our turnip patch is a bed of bright green tops and cute little purple collars poking out from the brown earth. It's wonderful! Just this past weekend, parents and children participated in a turnip harvest in the garden and turnip tasting in the kitchen. It was great fun. And, kids and adults even at the turnips! I prepared them by cutting the turnips (about 5-6 small turnips) into small cubes, tossing them with a few tablespoons of melted butter, a pinch of salt, and a big glug (about 2 tablespoons) of maple syrup. Then, I baked them in a foil-covered dish at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, until barely tender. After that, I removed the foil and baked for another 5 minutes until they were beginning to caramelize around the edges.
Here are a few other links to my favorite turnip recipes found on the web:
David Lebovitz- pickled turnips: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2012/09/pickled-turnips-turnip-recipe/
Pioneer woman- turnip gratin: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/11/turnip-gratin/
Daniel Holzman- smashed turnips with horseradish: http://nymag.com/restaurants/recipes/inseason/turnips-inseason-2011-3/
I hope you feel inspired to give turnips a try. Maybe you'll consider adding them to your Thanksgiving (or any other) meal this holiday season.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Travel safe, enjoy your family, share a wonderful meal- and remember to give thanks to the farmers that grow our food!

A MELBOURNE woman who allegedly ran a series of fake conveyancing businesses is facing 480 criminal charges for defrauding and stealing from home owners.
Victoria Police has charged Marina Dankovic, also known as Marina Dawson or Marina Loprese, with deception, fraud, credit card theft, trading as an unlicensed conveyancer and scores of other offences stemming from property-related businesses that reportedly operated at various addresses in Footscray and Sunshine.
Police said the 49-year-old woman from Braybrook, who is now on remand, had her bail revoked after being charged with trading as an unlicensed conveyancer.
Consumer Affairs Victoria earlier this month issued a public warning about Dankovic, who operated under the trading name Marina's Conveyancing, after receiving multiple complaints from clients and others.
A CAV spokeswoman said anyone who had had dealings with Dankovic should seek legal advice.
Dankovic, who was unable to be reached for comment, is due to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 1 and August 11.

Welcome, Wanderer!
"All that is gold does not glitter, nor all that wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien
If you have already played Nehrim, or are in the midst of playing, please look around, leave comments and contribute if you like. If you have not yet played, look around and you soon will!
If you are interested in Nehrim, it means you must have played Oblivion. If you enjoyed Oblivion, Nehrim will be an unforgettable new experience. It's new, and it's so incredibly entertaining that Nehrim was voted the No. 1 winner of the Mod of the Year (Editor's Choice Awards) and the SureAI team has been placed among the best developers of 2010. What's more, Nehrim is so impressive that it was a contender even for THE BEST RPG OF THE YEAR, according to PC Gamer! If Oblivion was a disappointment in comparison to Morrowind, Nehrim is definitely a must-have or... should we say, a must-play! IN FACT, MOST PEOPLE THAT HAVE PLAYED NEHRIM SAY THAT IT`S BETTER THAN OBLIVION, WITH GAMEPLAY REACHING WELL PAST 100 HOURS! For general articles on differences between Oblivion and Nehrim click here. NEHRIM IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD, you need only an Oblivion disc to run it. Download the game from the official SureAI site here.
Nehrim - At Fate's Edge is a Total Conversion Mod using the Oblivion game engine. It is the largest and most elaborate project bySureAI and has taken over 4 years to develop, released in June 2010. Set on the world of Vyn, the continent of Nehrim is the only country not ruled by a god. It is split into three realms and the ancient kingdom of Treomar. It covers close to 40 square kilometers. The Northrealm with its fortress capital city Cahbaet (mountainous and filled with pine forests, snow and ice) is split from the Middlerealm, and the war between the realms has devastated large areas. The Middlerealm has the beautiful capital Erothin, the moderate climate favoring the cultivation of land, mixed forests and clear blue lakes.Then there is Southrealm with its capital being the port city of Ostian, ruled by the Temple of the Creator. Tropical weather has created beaches laden with palm trees. West of Ostian is a harsh, stony desert and to the east lies a a mysterious crater. The ancient kingdom of Treomar sits on the west coast. The capital Treomar glowing bone-white in the sun lies in ruins, but gazing at the structures you can envisage the grandeur that was once there, brought to its knees and destroyed by the gods (The Light-Born), a millennium ago. It is now 1017. The war between the Middlerealm, ruled by Chancellor Barateon, and the Northrealm, ruled by Taranor (a former secretary), is at its peak. The Southrealm is an absolute theocracy and Kingdom of Treomar is nought but ruins.
The Middlerealm has banned magic, while an order is fighting to keep it alive and give freedom back to the people. This is the world you have entered. What lies in front of you? What is your destiny? What is your Fate? Do you have a choice? Find out!

Glazed Cinnamon Rolls - Bread Machine
Recipe by Zewbiedoo
The bread machine makes these rolls easy! I usually make them at night and refrigerate them to bake for the next day's breakfast. Adapted from Betty Crocker's Bread Machine Cookbook. Prep time listed includes the dough mixing time and rising time.
Top Review by Geca1170
I just made these and they're tasty. Mostly, I'm surprised by how PERFECT the directions are. Usually, you have to tweak or go by instinct with a recipe but this one is SPOT ON in terms of timing and quantities.
The only thing I didn't like was the frosting, WOW was it thick and powerfully sweet, but that's just a matter of taste, I suspect.
One note for rookie bakers: when the dough comes out of the bread machine, the gluten has seized from kneading. I couldn't figure out why the dough wouldn't roll out for me, it would just spring back into a ball. I looked it up and let it rest for 30-40minutes and I was able to roll it out just fine when I came back. FYI!

Chuy's recently opened up its first Charlotte location at the SouthPark Mall and we hit them up on a Friday afternoon. The food was pretty good but nothing really stood out as being above ordinary or at all memorable. The only thing that we can say was memorable was how incredibly loud it was inside. Whoever did the interior decor / design obviously didn't consider the amount of hard surfaces they were using in the design because the restaurant was borderline uncomfortably loud with just an average amount of guest inside talking and enjoying their meals.
If you grew up on Chuy's its probably the best thing in your world… in mine its not. Chuy's was pretty average and I cant say I'd be going back anytime soon. My two cents, go across the street to Paco's Tacos and Tequila.
