Mother Jones offers a preview of the State of the Union:
President Barack Obama's state of the union address Tuesday night will be a "Hitlerian screed attacking Republicans, Conservatives, The Tea Party, and anyone who dares to disagree with him," Judson Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation, warned in an essay posted to the group's website Tuesday. "Liberals," he argued, "are the new Nazis."
Less than an hour until the start of the State of the Union, and it's already jumped the Godwin.

Shipping & FAQ
Order Processing
All orders will be processed within 24 - 48 hours on business days. When you place an order a giant gong sounds in our office, Ghost Town DJs starts playing at an illegal volume and we all run around screaming, firing nerf guns into the ceiling and fist pumping spastically in celebration. Once everyone has returned to a semi-calm state we sit down at the desks, return our now smashed monitors to an upright position and place your order with the manufacturers.
Once your order is processed, shipping usually takes between 12 - 20 working days. Please don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions, we always respond within 24 hours.
If you've ordered multiple items, they may arrive separately as our products are shipped to you directly from the manufacturer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have a tracking number?
Yes, BUT (there's always a but isn't there?) it sometimes only works while the item is in the origin country. Once it lands stateside you're just gonna have to bear with us and trust that it'll arrive within 12 - 20 days. Once you place an order, the system will tell us AT THE LATEST when you should get your order by, which is usually something like 30 days after your order gets shipped so if you don't get it by that date, get in touch with us and we'll do everything we can until you're happy (e.g. provide you with a full refund or a store credit).
How DO you manage to keep the prices so low?
By sacrificing shipping time. We get the items shipped direct from the Chinese manufacturers, which means it takes 2-3 weeks, but it saves a TON of costs in logistics (bulk shipping costs to the US, customs fees, warehousing costs, product handing fees, USPS / UPS costs). No joke - all that stuff can turn a $40 product into $100 product pretty quickly. By giving up shipping time, we're saving you a butt-ton of money.
Hey where's the other thing I ordered???
Since our products are made by a few different manufacturers, if you order a few different items, they may arrive separately so don't freak out if you open the packet and there's an item missing!
Is my payment info safe?
The store itself runs on Shopify, and all payments are either handled by Paypal. Either way, we don't store any of your credit card info. Ever.
What if there is a problem with my product?
Let us know as soon as you can and we'll either send you a new one, or give you your money back. No further questions asked. We know what it feels like to get a dud after waiting patiently for ages (and unfortunately when you ship enough orders it happens, not often but it does happen) so we'll do everything in our power to make it right.

Choosing The Best Gardens For Filming Locations...
Here at Dorak Film, we are always looking for picturesque locations for various shoots. Luckily, there are plenty of such locations here in the UK. Selecting a location, arranging a calendar date (or more than one date) for filming, clearing traffic, charting air traffic patterns, studying weather patterns – all of these go into the selection of a location. We've found that we save a lot of time and frustration by hiring companies to arrange all of this for us. These businesses have staff who can make the phone calls, send and respond to emails, and take care of the myriad of other details that go into planning a shoot. Connections It pays to have connections when reserving space for filming. Sometimes, Dorak doesn't have connections in all the right places. So, we source out a lot of our location searches. This is especially helpful when looking for great gardens with the appropriate lawn services and upkeep for filming locations. People who have beautiful gardens don't want them trampled. Estates often spend a large portion of their upkeep budgets on their grounds, and while they may be glad to receive the fees from filming crews, they need to be reassured that no harm will come to their property. The British Film Commission has a great service that not only provides connections to some of the finest gardens in the UK, they can even provide a crew. Their screen agencies...

Surfing Montage At Dorak Film...
Here at Dorak Film, we have a new project in the works that is sure to awe and inspire our readers. It will make them envious, too, because of all the cool equipment we get to use. We are putting together a surfing montage using some of the newest high resolution FPS cameras on the market. The video will feature shots of water, waves, and surfers. With this kind of resolution, the videos and stills are breathtaking. Our chief videographer fills us in on how he does it. Know Your Subject Josh, our lead videographer, says that the first skill he requires of any photographer shooting sports is an understanding of the sport. With surfing, especially, he says that knowing the sport enables the photographer to anticipate the next move. If a wave is perfect for cut backs, the photographer needs to be able to anticipate the move to get the best shot. Otherwise, he misses a great opportunity and an even greater shot. Using a video camera doesn't get the photographer off the hook, either. Much of the filming he does is with a telephoto lens, and there is little room for mistakes. Therefore, knowing the cues that something exciting is about to happen – such as the surfer building velocity before he pops a trick – makes the photo shoot more successful. Know Your Equipment You have to have a fast camera, and a great telephoto lens. Dorak...

7 Tips To Help Improve Your Camera Work
The video camera is something that intimidates many folks, even the people behind the camera! Before I started Dorak Film, I used to shoot promotional films and take pictures for a Cedar Timber Company. With only a few techniques you can learn to improve how you shoot your films. 1. Comprehend Your Camera While you don't need to understand every last feature of your camera, you should comprehend the fundamentals of how exactly to use it. This can be exceptional for many scenarios involving filming. 2. Understand Why You Are Filming Before you turn on your camera, consider what you are about to picture. What's it that you need people to take away from your images? What do you desire them to remember? Is it the activities in the shot? Consider investing in a better mic, when it is a private interview. 3. Create Yourself Be sure to get an establishing shot at the start of filming after you have figured out your primary goal of the shoot and you have to take a hint from the master's. Or perhaps a fast shot of a signal naming the play or the front of the school. 4. Let The Actions Tell The Story Too often, people consider they need to do...

Baz Luhrmann and "The Great Gatsby"...
Something a little different this week. I watched The Great Gatsby over the weekend and I wanted to put out a little review of sorts. Baz Luhrmann is a world-famous filmmaker whose latest production is a remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, "The Great Gatsby." Luhrmann is famous for his grand filmography and artistic style that supporters of the novel consider will come to the fore in this remake. While "The Great Gatsby" has several film predecessors, this latest incarnation of the iconic narrative promises to be the most luxurious yet. "The Great Gatsby" stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the movie 's titular character, Jay Gatsby. Carey Mulligan, a youthful and fresh-faced British performer, plays his love interest, Daisy. Tobey Maguire takes the movie 's leading man, the character of Nick Carraway and narrator of the story. Nick is a young stockbroker making his way to the very top of the brand new cash picture in the 1920s' New York, location and a time where the idea of less is never caught on. The burgeoning class of the recently elite is a cutthroat and decadent one, as Nick learns when he's invited to a renowned bash thrown by the ill-famed Gatsby himself. As the movie advances, Nick learns he...

|Another shot of Abed-nego
from my Primary aged mind's
Some time after Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were brought before King Nebuchadnezzar, he later had a dream which troubled him but when he woke up he could not remember it. He commanded that all of his wise men tell him what dream he had and what it meant. None of the wise men could satisfy the demands of the king, so he ordered that they should all be killed, including Daniel and the others. God had shown Daniel this dream so when the king's guards went to kill Daniel, he asked to be taken to the king to interpret his dream.
After Daniel told the king what the dream was and interpreted what it meant, the scriptures say the king "made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon." Daniel also requested that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego be set over the affairs of all the land, and the king did so.
|Daniel interprets the king's dream.
However, when the time came when everyone was supposed to bow down to worship the idol, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego would not fall to worship it. When King Nebuchadnezzar heard of this, he was furious with them for not obeying his orders. He told his servants to bring them to him, then he questioned them as to why they did not worship his gods or the idol.
They told the king that they would only serve God, and if the king were to cast them into the fire then God would protect them. King Nebuchadnezzar in his rage commanded his servants to prepare the furnace to be seven times hotter than it was usually supposed to be. He then commanded the guards to throw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego into the furnace. God did indeed protect them from the fire and they were not burned. However, the men who prepared the furnace were incinerated immediately because of how intense the flames were.
The king was amazed. He asked his servants, "Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They agreed and then he said "Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." When King Nebuchadnezzar saw this, he stood in front of the furnace and cried out to the three in the furnace to come out. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked out of the furnace and as the scriptures say, the fire had no power over them, "nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them."
We can liken this story to our own lives. This story gives a whole new meaning to the 5th verse of Hymn #85, How Firm A Foundation. It reads:
When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply.
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, thy dross to consume.
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
|Jesus Christ is rock upon
which we build our foundation.
(Helaman 5:12)
Just as King Nebuchadnezzar saw the Son of God in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, Christ and His enabling Atonement help us rest assured that God is always with us. He can never fail us. Even when we think our Heavenly Father has abandoned us, He is always aware of the trials we face and has designed them for our own good. The scriptures tell us God will not give us anything He knows we cannot handle. Knowing this gives me great hope in this life, and things to look forward to in the life to come!

Sunday night and I'm doing my week in a day cooking. In addition to making my dinners for the week, I also like to make a few items that are easy to-go items. This week I made chicken salad and egg salad.
I made the chicken salad a little different than normal and I really loved the outcome. Since it's just me that will eat it – I used only 1 large chicken breast (or 4 tenders), but if making this recipe for more than one, I'd definitely suggest at least doubling up on the ingredients.
First, I poached the chicken in water with onion, garlic, bay leaves, celery, salt and pepper. Once cooked and just slightly cooled, I chopped it to a shredded texture.
Next I mixed the following ingredients:
- large spoonful of mayo (I've been using the mayo w/ olive oil and I love it!)
- small spoonful of softened cream cheese
- small palm full of chives, finely chopped
- handful of grapes, halved
- dash of dill
- dash of salt and pepper
- small palm full of celery and celery leaves, finely chopped
So flavorful and creamy!! Delicious on crackers, a croissant, or just by itself. Also, perfect for a busy work week lunch.

Anivia Build Guide by Achievmentz
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue

Anivia Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Anivia's basics
Anivia is a very strong Ap Carry, I like this build cause it let you to be tanky and its more easier for you to go into teamfights and clear it. Its very important to stack your Mejais to have the ultimate domination over your enemies.
Anivia is a champ who is easily to farm with. If u want to be as good as possible with Anivia, you really need to farm
Its also good to build Frozen heart on Anivia, If u meets a team with much AD's and u want to use a lot of ur spells
I think Froggen also use a build like this, but u can play anivia in many ways.
Rod Of Ages is also an alternative item on Anivia if u get it between 12-18 minutes.
Anivia's Skills
Flash Frost is Anivias stun, it let u to easily stun enemies to nuke em down with your Frostbite, Frost bite can be reactivated and when it hits an enemy they get chilled, wich means that u can use ur Frostbite to make more damage
Crystallize is an amazing skill but that many doesn't understand. You want to use it to keep enemies out of teamfights or block their way when they are chasing you or your teammates.
Frostbite is Anivia's main skill that makes all the damage, You want to use this when they are "chilled" to make all the damage. Your enemies becomes chilled when they are in ur ulti or has been stunned by your Q.
Glacial Storm
Glacial Storm is an AoE(Area Of Effect) ulti that let's you to easily farm creeps. But remember do deactivate it as it takes a lot of ur mana per second.
Anivia's Masteries
I like going 21/0/9 with Anivia,9/0/21 i also a great masterie page. But i think all of the masteries combinations works.

Can we build an egg-free gingerbread house? Yes, we can
Foolishly, because when I last made a gingerbread house 30 years ago I swore never again. That dwelling ultimately involved using tweezers to meticulously place silver dragees. The up side: It lasted several years even though I'd made it with buttercream instead of the usual royal icing.
That's why I knew I could pull off an egg-free project. With buttercream as the cement, converting the dough recipe would be a snap.
Rather than hear the guys debate artistic differences all day, I made two smaller houses from a template on the C&H Sugar site. I wished I'd reduced the template at least 10 percent when I printed it - my Epson Stylus will let me reduce by a percentage by clicking on advanced properties. At full size, the original template created houses way too big for kids who were sick of gingerbread the day after we'd finished the project.
I doubled the dough recipe to make the two houses and still had enough to make two dozen gingerbread men, plus a lot of dough that I threw away because I was tired of rolling. More on that later. You absolutely need a heavy-duty stand mixer to do this. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my KitchenAid Pro?
I used a double recipe of the Wilton buttercream stiff consistency recipe as my plaster. There were a couple of cups left over after construction, and you could easily thin it with corn syrup to get it to the right consistency to pipe on decorations. Not that we piped decorations so much as we squiggled thick lines to hold up the candy.
There's a great how-to on the King Arthur Flour Web site that will guide you through building your house. The construction technique is exactly the same for buttercream as it is for royal icing. I also used the King Arthur recipe as the base for my egg-free version.
I definitely want to do this again in the next 30 years. The guys were happy this time around with arranging Skittle Christmas lights and piling Twizzlers into a patio. I, meanwhile, am dreaming of dragees and tweezers.
Egg-free gingerbread house gingerbread
- 3/4 c plus 2 tbl. buttermilk
- 6 tbl. butter
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 tbl. Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer beaten in 2 tbl. hot water - this is less egg replacer than I've been using of late, but I didn't want a soft, puffy cookie in this case.
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
In a large saucepan, heat the butter in the buttermilk until it is just melted and remove from the heat. Add the brown sugar, molasses and egg replacer. Whisk the spices, salt and baking soda into one cup of flour. Add this to the wet mixture and mix until incorporated. Add flour one cup at a time until you have a smooth, stiff dough. It should be stiff enough to be flexible, but not crumbly or sticky. Divide the dough in half, wrap it in plastic and flatten it out before chilling in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Roll the dough a quarter-inch thick and use a template to cut parts for the house. Bake the cookies on a greased sheet in a preheated 350°F oven for 15–18 minutes; they're done when the edges have started to brown but the cookies still are slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Stupid mistakes I made:
I added too much extra flour. I think most people will wind up needing a bit more than the recipe calls for, but I overdid it by adding another cup. My poor KitchenAid was crying at the end, and I thought nothing could make a KitchenAid cry. An extra half cup is probably closer to right.
When it says the flatten the dough before chilling, get it as close to a quarter-inch thick as humanly possible. You'll thank yourself later. I took "flatten" to mean "spread in a plastic bag in a somewhat level pile." It took me forever to roll the inch-thick dough, and my shoulders were crying at the end.
If you use cardboard as a foundation for your house, don't forget to cover it with grease-free paper. I didn't, mainly because I didn't think the houses would live long enough to become decorations, and I now have unsightly grease ooze from the buttercream icing.

About the Authors:
No matter your relationship with cancer or caregiving, Joni Aldrich is here to help. She knows that when it comes to patient care, knowledge is power. The first thing you need to know? Finding the right treatment facility and protocol is critical. She should know. After her 43-year-old husband, Gordon, was diagnosed, she discovered fighting cancer comes with a steep learning curve. Despite her background as a research analyst—and despite countless hours spent digging through tons of information—she did not discover how to effectively fight the disease until it was too late for Gordon.
Through her articles on a variety of topics related to patient care and caregiving, Joni wants you to benefit from her learning curve. That's why she authored six books that chronicle her experiences with cancer treatment, caregiving under duress, and surviving grief. With Joni by your side, you are not alone in your battle against some of life's most difficult challenges.
Joni speaks your language. She knows what patients and caregivers need to hear and she knows how they need to hear it. Since her most traumatic caregiving experiences included caring for Gordon and her mother with metastatic brain cancer, Joni's last three books focused on help for caregivers of a brain illness patient.
In addition to founding her own businesses--Cancer Lifeline Publications and Basket of Care--Joni is dedicated to her connection within the cancer and caregiving community. She has worked to build relationships with key organizations across America.
With a true desire to reach out and touch others, Joni's new focus is her speaking career and media, and she now hosts three radio shows on www.W4WN.com--the Women 4 Women Network: Caregiving S.O.S., Cancer S.O.S., and Ladies Who Inspire.
Let Joni inspire you with the hard-won knowledge she learned from her own life-changing struggles. To learn more, go to www.JoniAldrich.com and www.BasketofCare.com. For information about Joni's public speaking, look up her profile on www.SpeakerMatch.com.
Neysa M. Peterson, RN, MS, has an extensive nursing and counseling background. She worked as a nurse with hospice for over twenty years and as a family counselor in private practice helping families work through relational and developmental issues. Through nine years of experience caring for her own husband, Jim, who had a degenerative brain disease, Neysa learned firsthand that people with brain illness, whatever the cause, remain capable of relationships to the end of their lives. She learned to focus by affirming and validating Jim. Neysa describes this as being a very nourishing time for her, which is a rare viewpoint under those stressful and difficult circumstances.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! The 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year — the Volkswagen Passat midsize sedan — marches into 2014 with a new turbocharged 1.8-liter I-4 engine and revised pricing. The base-model 2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T starts at $21,715 with a five-speed manual transmission — if you want to pair the engine with the six-speed automatic.With the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter I-5 now gone from the 2014 Volkswagen Passat lineup, most models will be equipped with the turbocharged 170-hp 1.8-liter I-4 that produces 184 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is up thanks to the new engine, to 24/35 mpg city/highway with the manual and 24/34 mpg with the automatic. At least with regard to EPA ratings, that still puts the Passat behind class sales and efficiency leaders such as the 2014 Toyota Camry (25/35 mpg) and 2014 Nissan Altima (27/38 mpg).Above the $21,715 Passat 1.8T S is the Passat 1.8T Wolfsburg Edition, which has a standard six-speed automatic, 16-inch alloy wheels, and costs $24,785. The 2014 Passat 1.8T SE offers 17-inch wheels, leatherette seating surfaces, and the five-speed manual at $25,295. Add $1920 for 18-inch wheels and a sunroof.At the top of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T lineup is the SE with Sunroof and Navigation, which also adds hands-free keyless access and carries a $28,375 base price. Through October, Volkswagen Passat sales numbered 91,522 units, more than the Dodge Avenger and Mazda6, but below the Chrysler 200 and Kia Optima.Read about our thoughts on Volkswagen's new turbocharged 1.8-liter engine under the hood of the 2014 Jetta right here.Source: Volkswagen Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Priced at $21,715 /10 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 10 2 | 10 3 | 10 4 | 10 5 | 10 6 | 10 7 | 10 8 | 10 9 | 10 10 | 10

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine: Songs on Upcoming Album Are 'Definitely Very Dark'
Megadeth have been working on their 15th studio album in Nashville, Tenn.
Megadeth have been working on their 15th studio album in Nashville, Tenn.
Here's a look into some discussion on metal, featuring two of thrash's most celebrated bassists -- Metallica's Robert Trujillo and Megadeth's David Ellefson.
This year's Metal Hammer Golden God has been chosen, and the winner is... Dave Mustaine.
Bassist David Ellefson says he was the 'bad cop' in the failed Megadeth 'Rust in Peace' reunion.
Megadeth, Foo Fighters and Nickelback lead the rock contingent at the 2015 Festival D'Ete De Quebec.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine discusses the band's decisions replacing Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover and offers an album update.
Drummer Nick Menza has accused Dave Mustaine of ripping off his Megadeth royalties.
Dave Mustaine offers high praise to Megadeth's new guitarist Kiko Loureiro.
As previously reported, drummer Nick Menza is not a part of the new lineup for Megadeth's next album and tour.
In a new interview, former Megadeth shredder Marty Friedman claims he was asked to come back.

A heart murmur is a swishing sound that blood makes as it moves through the heart. A heart murmur is an indication of an abnormality of the heart or valve structure. In most cases, these are completely harmless and a normal finding. Occasionally, these can be more serious and require further investigation and intervention. Most children have a heart murmur at some time in their life. These murmurs come and go during childhood. They don't affect the child's health. As your child gets older, the murmurs go away on their own. These are called "innocent" or "functional" murmurs. Some illnesses, like a viral infection, may lead to a murmur that goes away on its own and is a result of an acute illness.
Sometimes a heart murmur is a sign of a problem in the heart. If your child's healthcare provider suspects this, your child will be referred to a heart specialist (pediatric cardiologist). Special tests will be ordered. These include:
EKG. This looks at the electric pattern of the heart.
Chest X-ray
Echocardiogram. This test is like an ultrasound of the heart.
A heart murmur can also be caused by a congenital heart defect (CHD). Babies born with CHD may have symptoms at birth. Others may have symptoms later in childhood or as teenagers. Others may never have any symptoms at all.
These are 2 common types of congenital heart defects:
A hole in the center wall of the heart that divides the chambers
A narrowed or leaky heart valve
A hole in the center wall of the heart may close on its own as the child grows older. Or it may be so small that it doesn't cause any problem. Sometimes your child may need surgery to fix a larger hole. A defect in the heart valve may need medicine, treatment with a special catheter, or surgery.
Follow these guidelines when caring for your child at home:
Innocent heart murmurs don't need any special care or treatment.
If medicine was prescribed, have your child take it exactly as directed.
A teen with a congenital heart defect should not get body piercings. Piercings make it easier for bacteria to get into the body. The bacteria can harm the heart.
Follow up with your child's healthcare provider, or as advised.
Call your child's healthcare provider right away if any of these occur:
In a newborn or baby:
Rapid breathing
Blue lips
Difficulty feeding
Doesn't gain weight normally
Blue legs or feet
In a child or teenager:
Tiredness or difficulty exercising
Trouble gaining weight
Chest pains
Swelling of the legs
Complains that his or her heart is beating fast

Students gain valuable hands-on experience in our on-site teaching. We offer TCM diagnosis and treatments to members of the public. In this clinic, treatments are provided by students under the guidance of a supervision Acupuncturist or Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. The role of the supervisor is to facilitate the students' learning and to ensure that patients receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment. These student clinics are of two types: focused on herbal prescriptions or manual therapy which includes acupuncture.
Prior to providing the treatment, students will first ask you to complete a health history form. In the health history, it will ask about your personal information, health history. After, the group of students will conduct diagnosis. This may take approximately 15 minutes depending on the session and the amount of questions. This will ensure that the treatment is tailored to meet your personal needs. Your student practitioner will then obtain your informed consent before providing you with treatment, which means discussing the proposed treatment plan with you and coming to a mutual agreement as to what it will entail. If you are unclear about any of the information, we encourage you to ask. We want you to gain the maximum benefit from your massage, and to feel relaxed and comfortable in the clinical environment.
The cost of a one hour appointment in Student Clinic is $20. To book an appointment, contact our Student Clinic Reception.

Fred Noble
If you like what we do here at the CGWA you owe some degree of gratitude to Fred Noble. Fred was among the earliest windsurfers in the Gorge and with his cowboy-get-it-done attitude, led the charge in site access, creation, and maintenance. His recent diagnosis with ALS has turned his focus away from windsurfing. The same attitude he had with windsurfing in the 1980s and 1990s, he has applied to ALS research. On April 13th Fred is helping to organize the Ski To Defeat ALS event at Mt. Hood Meadows. Check out their website here.
We recently got the chance to chat with Fred about his involvement in Gorge Windsurfing and what he is up to now. Check out what he had to say below.
How long have you been living in the Gorge? I live in Portland but have been recreating in the Gorge since 1960. I worked bridge construction on Interstate 84 back in 1957. I used to curse the wind and got my first taste of the power of wind trying to carry a 4×8 sheet of plywood on the bridge deck.
When did you first start Windsurfing? 1983. I carried my board to out of state construction sites and sailed local lakes after work
Where was your favorite sailing sight when you first started windsurfing in the Gorge? Wherever the wind was blowing and away from the crowds. That's how I discovered some of the sites we now use
What was your earliest involvement with the CGWA? 1984. Back then I think it was Columbia Gorge Boardsailing Association. I lasted one meeting as it was focused on racing and I wanted to do some development for the people. Nobody listened to me or my friend Marcia Buser, so we never returned.
I decided I did not want to join a club and go to meetings, so I struck out on my own cutting grass at Home Valley and cleaning up the beach. We wandered around and discovered other areas and started doing the same thing.. Mosier, Rowena, Viento, Event Site, Celilo, Rufus and Arlington are just a part of the big picture
What were the largest hurdles the CGWA had to get over in the early days? Whenever I had an idea I was told we can't do that or that won't work. No one was willing to work with us and the locals said windsurfing is only a fad and we should all pack up and go away. Agencies had no money, so I took it upon myself and with the help of CGWA, Peg Lawler and Ross Gardner we implemented a plan to accomplish many things. Of course I never asked for permission and just did whatever I wanted to do with the help of friends. I am sure that today we would be breaking a few laws.
What was your largest accomplishment with the CGWA? Inspiring many people to get involved
Where did you envision the CGWA going when you were first involved? I never gave it a thought, just wanted a place to sail.
Where do you see the CGWA going in the next 10 years? Don't know, I left because for me there was a lot of politics involved and we reverted back to we can't do this and we need permission to do that and we have to be careful so we don't alienate people. Some people did not want improvements at their favorite site because it attracted more people. I figured I put in some 20 plus years and needed to move on
When were you diagnosed with ALS? December 2010
Tell us about how you're involved with ALS awareness and research? It is in my DNA to help others. ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease) is a terrible disease on average, end of life is two to five years. There is no cure and we strive every day to build awareness, and raise funds. The ALS Association also supports us by walking us through all the battles we are facing, loaning us adaptive equipment, helping out with insurance issues and having monthly support group meetings.
In one year 67 of my fellow Oregon ALS patients died and the same amount was diagnosed. Every time I go to support group I wonder who is next ?
To see how you can get involved visit skitodefeatals.org
In addition two dedicated CGWA board members will be leading the charge, skiing laps all day long on April 13th. If you would like to donate directly to these two you can do so by clicking on their names bellow.

Sleep deprivation is now recognized as an increasingly common condition inherent to modern society, and one that in many ways, is detrimental to certain physiological systems, namely, immune function. Although sleep is now viewed by a significant body of researchers as being essential for the proper working of a host of defense systems, the consequences of a lack of sleep on immune function remains to be fully comprehended. The aim of the current study was to investigate how paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) for 24 and 96 h and sleep restriction (SR) for 21 days by the modified multiple-platform method, and their respective 24-h recovery periods, affect immune activation in rats. To this end, we assessed circulating white blood cell counts, lymphocyte count within immune organs, as well as Ig and complement production. The data revealed that PSD for 96 h increased complement C3 and corticosterone concentration in relation to the control group. In contrast, the spleen weight, total leukocytes, and lymphocytes decreased during SR for 21 days when compared with the control group, although production of a certain class of immunoglobulin, the IgM, did increase. After recovery sleep, lymphocyte count in axillary lymph nodes grew when rats had rebound sleep after PSD for 24 h, neutrophils increased after PSD 96 h and lymphocytes numbers were higher after SR 21 days. Such alterations during sleep deprivation suggest only minor alterations of nonspecific immune parameters during acute PSD, and a significant impairment in cellular response during chronic SR.
- sleep deprivation
- immune system
- host defenses
- leukocytes
- immunoglobulin
the number of people who experience sleep deprivation (SD) is on the rise in societies that have a hectic lifestyle. The concept that modern society is chronically sleep deprived has found acceptance as of late, and the repercussions of sleep loss across broad physiological and systemic mechanisms are aspects that have lured the attention of a significant body of researchers. Despite the growing amount of literature on the topic, much remains to be comprehended about the physiological chain of events that underlie SD (23).
Only recently has the view that sleep is vital in various defense systems become ubiquitous among investigators. In spite of some controversy, it is now widely recognized that sleep loss leads to impairment of those defenses, thus rendering an organism more susceptible to pathogens (21, 22). SD expresses comorbidity with disease states in which deregulation of immune variables is considered a principal etiological or contributory factor (27, 33). Otherwise, during infection, animals that have robust sleep responses have a better prognosis for survival than those that do not (34).
During normal sleep, there is a redistribution of circulating lymphocyte subsets and an increase in some aspects of cellular immunity (4). In contrast, in clinical populations that have disordered sleep due to stress or a variety of diseases, decrements in natural and cellular immune function coincide with disturbances of detectable sleep architecture and loss of sleep (7, 8, 18, 19). Despite the intuitive understanding that sleep is critical for health and life, the mechanisms through which SD leads to impairment of the immune system are poorly elucidated. One of the most compelling findings associating SD to a breach in the immune system was reported in a study by Everson (15), in which an increased rate of bacteremia in rats chronically deprived of sleep was observed. Bacteria in blood cultures were found in five of the six rats sleep deprived to near-terminal conditions (15). Also observed were decreases in lymphocyte counts and natural killer (NK) cells during SD (5, 16, 28, 31), although in another study, SD led to increased numbers of lymphocytes and NK cells (4). Furthermore, an increase in antibody titers was found after SD in humans (17), rats (14), and mice (29, 30).
Understanding the effects of sleep and SD on the immune response could shed some light on how the brain affects immune function. The central feature of sleep is an alteration in brain function, which is associated with both direct and indirect changes in other physiological systems (6). In the current lifestyle, most of the deprivation of sleep occurs in the paradoxical sleep/rapid eye movement (PS/REM) phase, which takes place in the second half of the night. For that reason, many investigators have developed and used different approaches to reduce or abolish PS; therefore, most investigations of SD focus on paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD). Yet another strategy used to mimic the sleep loss that society is subjected to is sleep restriction (SR), in which animals are submitted to gradual loss of sleep during long-term periods, also representing an important model of sleep consolidation and adaptation. When allowed to sleep, in both methodologies, animals compensated for the loss of sleep by spending more time in PS, which is a consequence of homeostatic sleep regulation and appears to be proportional to the amount of sleep lost during the deprivation period (24, 25).
Thus, the aim of this investigation was to examine how short-term PSD and long-term SR, and their recovery periods, affect immune activation by assessing circulating white blood cells, lymphocytes within the immune organs, and immunoglobulin and complement production.
Ninety-day-old male Wistar-Hannover rats were bred and raised in the animal facility of the Centro de Desenvolvimento de Modelos Experimentais para Medicina e Biologia. The animals were housed in a colony maintained at 22°C with 12:12-h light-dark cycle (lights on at 0700) and allowed free access to food and water inside standard polypropylene cages. Rats used in this study were maintained and treated in accordance with the guidelines established by the Ethical and Practical Principles of the Use of Laboratory Animals (2).
The procedure consisted of placing 10 rats in a tiled water tank (123 × 44 × 44 cm) for 24 or 96 h. The tank contained 14 platforms (6.5 cm in diameters) rising 1 cm above water surface, thus allowing the rats to move around by leaping from one platform to another. At the onset of each PS episode, the animal experiences a loss of muscle tonus and falls into water, thus being awakened. The multiple platform procedure is effective in producing a total suppression of PS. A significant slow-wave sleep (SWS) loss also occurred throughout the 4 days of SD (−31%) (24). It therefore seems appropriate to consider these animals as being PS-deprived rather than being exclusively deprived of sleep. The cage control group was maintained in the same room the experimental rats were in for the duration of the study and showed normal sleep patterns, PS, SWS, and wake (24). Throughout the study, the experimental room was maintained under controlled temperature and a light-dark cycle. Food and water were available ad libitum, with chow pellets and water bottles provided on a grid located on top of the tank. The water in the tank was changed daily throughout the PSD period.
Sleep Restriction
The protocol consisted of submitting the rats to the modified multiple platform method, as described above for 18 h (beginning at 1600) for 21 days (SR period). After each 18-h sleep deprivation period, the rats were allowed to sleep for 6 h (sleep window beginning at 1000). Throughout the SR procedure, rats slept an average of 30–40% of the time, corresponding to 8–9 h per day. This time interval (1000 to 1600) was chosen because this is when PS attains its highest expression and when SWS homeostatic pressure is already yielded (25).
Experimental Procedure
Rats were randomly distributed into four groups: PSD, SR, recovery, and home-cage groups. Seven groups were obtained at the end of the experiment. The PSD groups PSD 24h and PSD 96h were subjected to PSD for 24 h (n = 10) and 96 h (n = 11), respectively. The SR group SR 21d was subjected to SR for 21 days. The recovery groups were sleep deprived or sleep restricted and returned to home cages and were allowed undisturbed, spontaneous sleep for 24h; corresponding to PSD24R (n = 10), PSD96R (n = 10) and SR21R (n = 10) groups. Finally, the control group (n = 10) was maintained in separate cages in the same room the experimental rats were housed during PSD, SR, and recovery procedures and were killed on the same day the other groups were. By housing all groups in the same room, we held control of those conditions for all groups. After residing in the water tanks (PSD and SR groups) or home cages (control and rebounds group), rats were brought to an adjacent room and decapitated between 0900 and 1200 with minimum discomfort.
Blood Sampling
Blood was collected into sterile tubes containing either liquid EDTA (differential leukocyte count and plasma corticosterone) or serum separator medium (immunoglobulin and complement concentrations). Differential leukocyte counts were determined in blood on an automatic blood cell counter (Advia 120 Hematology System, NY), on the same day that the animals were killed. An aliquot of blood was centrifuged at 4°C for 15 min at 3,000 rpm. The serum and plasma were frozen at −80°C until assays were conducted. IgM, IgG, IgA, and complement C3 and C4 were determined in serum by nephelometry (Immage Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA). Plasma corticosterone (7.1%) concentrations were assayed by a double antibody radioimmunoassay method specific for rats and mice using a commercial kit (MP Biomedicals, Orangeburg, New York). The sensitivity of the assay was 0.25 ng/ml.
Spleen Weight and Lymphocyte Counts
Spleen and axillary lymph nodes were removed after the death, and the spleen weight was immediately measured. For the examination of cell numbers in spleen and axillary lymph nodes, single cell suspensions were prepared by pressing them through 400-μm sterile nylon mesh. Cells were counted in a Neubauer chamber with the aid of a microscope by the same previous experimenter.
Statistical Analysis
Values are expressed as means ± SE. One-way ANOVA was performed followed by Duncan's multiple range test. The level of statistical significance was set at P ≤ 0.05.
Circulating White Blood Cell Count (Leukocyte Cell Differentials)
Total blood leukocytes.
ANOVA test revealed significant differences among groups [F (6,61) = 4,65; P < 0.001]. Post hoc testing indicated that SR for 21 days reduced total leukocytes compared with the control group (P < 0.01). PSD for 96 h increased leukocyte population in relation to the PSD 24h (P < 0.03) and SR 21d (P < 0.001) groups. Rats subjected to recovery from PSD 96h had significantly higher concentrations than those of the PSD24R (P < 0.02) and SR21R (P < 0.02) groups (Fig. 1A).
At SR 21d, these cells were significantly decreased when compared with those of the PSD 96h group (P < 0.01) (Fig. 1B). Monocyte number significantly increased after recovery from PSD 96h compared with CTRL (P < 0.004), PSD24R (P < 0.001), and SR21R (P < 0.001), as revealed by ANOVA [F (6,61) = 4.79; P < 0.001] followed by Duncan's multiple range test.
Neutrophil values are depicted in Fig. 2A. An ANOVA test indicated significant differences among groups [F (6,61) = 8.61; P < 0.001]. Duncan's multiple range test revealed that rats subjected to PSD or SR did not exhibit significant alterations compared with control rats. However, recovery from PSD 96h had significantly higher values than those observed in all other groups: CTRL (P < 0.001), PSD 24h (P < 0.001), PSD 24R (P < 0.001), PSD 96h (P < 0.01), SR 21d (P < 0.001), and SR 21R (P < 0.001). Neutrophils were decreased in the SR 21d group compared with the PSD 96h group (P < 0.007).
Sleep deprivation for 24 h (P < 0.001) and SR for 21 days (P < 0.001) significantly reduced the number of lymphocytes compared with the control group [F (6,61) = 4.00; P < 0.001]. The PSD 96h group yielded significantly higher values than those observed in the PSD 24h (P < 0.007) and SR 21d (P < 0.008) groups. Upon recovery, lymphocytes were significantly higher compared with respective SR 21d (P < 0.02) as depicted in Fig. 2B.
IgM, IgG, IgA, and Complement C3 and C4
SR for 21 days (P < 0.002), as did their recovery period (P < 0.001), significantly increased the IgM concentration compared with control group [F (6,64) = 6.9375; P < 0.00001], as indicated in Fig. 3A. The SR 21d group also presented increased concentrations of IgM compared with the PSD 24h (P < 0.001) and PSD 96h (P < 0.001) groups. Concentrations of IgM in the SR21R group differed from those of the PSD24R (P < 0.003) and PSD96R (P < 0.002) groups.
Complement C3 was higher after PSD24R (P < 0.002), PSD 96h (P < 0.01), PSD96R (P < 0.001) compared with the control group. PSD 96h yielded significantly higher values than collected from the PSD 24h (P < 0.01) and SR 21d (P < 0.006) groups. PSD24R also increased compared with the PSD 24h (P < 0.002) group [F (6,62) = 9.1761; P < 0.00001] (Fig. 3B). C3 were significantly lower on SR21R group compared with PSD24R (P < 0.001) and PSD96R (P < 0.001).
No significant differences among groups were found in the serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, and Complement C4 (data not shown), as indicated by ANOVA test.
Spleen Weight
ANOVA test revealed significant differences among groups [F (6,64) = 4.68; P < 0.001]. Duncan's multiple range test indicated that SR for 21 days significantly reduced spleen weight compared with all other groups: CTRL (P < 0.001), PSD 24h (P < 0.02), PSD 24R (P < 0.001), PSD 96h (P < 0.02), PSD96R (P < 0.001), and SR21R (P < 0.02) (Fig. 4).
Number of Lymphocytes in Spleen and Lymph Nodes
As indicated by the ANOVA test [F (6,63) = 6.49; P = 0.0001], the number of lymphocytes in the axillary lymph nodes significantly increased after recovery from PSD for 24 h compared with all groups: CTRL (P < 0.001), PSD 24h (P < 0.001), PSD 96h (P < 0.01), PSD96R (P < 0.001), SR 21d (P < 0.001), and SR21R (P < 0.001) (Fig. 5). ANOVA test revealed no significant differences among groups in the number of cells in the spleen (P > 0.05).
Corticosterone concentrations increased significantly after PSD for 96 h compared with all other groups: CTRL (P < 0.01), PSD 24h (P < 0.01), PSD24R (P < 0.001), PSD96R (P < 0.001), SR 21d (P < 0.01), and SR21R (P < 0.001), as indicated by ANOVA [F (6,46) = 5.57; P = 0.0002] (Fig. 6).
The SD procedures as used in the present study were sufficient to produce marked alterations in almost all of the immune parameters that were examined as indicated in Table 1. Lymphocyte count decreased after PSD for 24 h, whereas after 96 h of PSD, increases in C3 and corticosterone concentrations were observed. The major alterations occurred in the SR paradigm: spleen weight, total leukocytes, and lymphocytes decreased in relation to the control group. Moreover, an increase in IgM was also observed in the SR group. When recovery sleep was evaluated, C3 concentrations increased and lymphocyte count in axillary lymph nodes grew when rats had rebound sleep after PSD for 24 h. Moreover, the recovery group of 96 h of sleep loss had increased number of neutrophils, while presenting lower corticosterone concentrations. Higher spleen weight and number of blood lymphocytes were observed in the SR21R group. Collectively, the alterations that occurred during SD suggest only minor changes of nonspecific immune parameters on the short-term periods and an impairment of cellular response during long-term SR.
The number and proportions of leukocytes in the blood and immune organs provide an important representation of leukocyte distribution in the body and of the state of activation of the immune system. A previous study showed that alterations in immune circulating cells occurred when rats were subjected to chronic SD by the disk-over-water method (14). However, the methodology that was adopted in that study had the animal move about to maintain wakefulness, and physical exercise was added as a variable of that investigation.
Leukocytosis induced by SD has been a consistent finding in human sleep loss studies since at least 1925, sometimes composing the only physiological finding (20). In contrast, other reports with humans corroborate our findings with animal experimentation and did not show significant differences in circulating monocytes and neutrophils after SD. In a human study using SD for 48 h, these leukocytes did not show any significant difference during the SD procedure (28).
Consistent with our findings, previous studies have shown decreased circulating lymphocytes counts after SD (5, 31). The spleen is a critical immune organ, which has been shown to increase in size after immune activation due to B and/or T cell differentiation and proliferation. Thus, post mortem spleen weights provide a rough estimate of the degree of immune activation (13). To our knowledge, few studies have focused on spleen weight and number of lymphocytes in spleen and axillary lymph nodes related to sleep and/or SD. In this sense, our study demonstrated that only chronic SR resulted in reduction in spleen weight, which was reverted after recovery. In common, these studies raise the hypothesis that the degree, the methodology, and the duration of SD are important in determining its effects on immune function.
Ig and complement levels in serum are part of the data used to assess the integrity of immune system functioning and are essential in the understanding of the impairment and restorative processes occurring during wakefulness and sleep. In this context, the current data are in agreement with previous findings demonstrating an increase in C3 concentration in acute SD humans (17) and that IgM was the first Ig to increase in chronic SD rats (14). No differences between groups were found in the serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, and complement C4.
Studies have shown that alteration in leukocyte distribution is mediated by hormones released by the adrenal gland, like corticosterone. It may be worth noting that most stress conditions, which are found to be immunoenhancing, involve acute stress, and those that are found to be immunosuppressive involve chronic stress (with the effects of stress on leukocyte distribution being an important factor to be taken into account) (9, 12, 32, 35). SD is an inherently stressful procedure, and it may not be possible to completely extricate the effects of SD from general nonspecific stress effects (1, 3). There is some evidence that there are reciprocal relationships between immune function and increased hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis activity in depression (26) and in stress response (10, 11, 12).
A question remained as to whether the observed alteration in immune parameters was caused by sleep loss or by stress inherent to the present methodology. Chronic SR for 21 days by the modified multiple platform method did not alter the concentration of corticosterone but did cause the most significant alterations in immune cells, demonstrating that methodology stress did not lead to those alterations, which were attributed to sleep loss per se. Of note is that although some immune parameters recovered their normal values rather rapidly, others remained altered, indicating that sleep normalization (i.e., recovery) is not the sole factor that leads to the recovery of homeostasis.
Although SD is considered a risk factor for human disease, and some specific health impairments have been linked to SD, it is a condition that increases progressively in current society, in which the population tends to sleep less due to social pressure. Thus, sleep fragmentation associated to the SD method is a condition that mimics the human lifestyle of restricted sleep time and prolonged wakefulness, making that animal model ideal for studies of sleep and sleep loss.
In the present study, however, the two experimental methods used showed distinct effects in immune system: PSD for 24 h caused only a decrease of blood lymphocytes and PSD for 96 h resulted in an increase of C3 concentration. In contrast, SR for 21 days decreased total leukocytes, lymphocytes, and spleen weight and increased unspecific IgM production. In conclusion, the present findings indicate that sleep and sleep loss play an important role exerting differing physiological influence in the modulation of immunity. Our data suggest that although acute sleep loss as that described in our PSD protocol causes minor alterations in some immune parameters, prolonged SR like that observed in a modern population on a daily basis, causes impairment of systemic circulation of leukocytes and quite possibly increases the susceptibility to infectious diseases.

Canada's first blind priest ordained
Fr Tim Devine's first Mass on Sunday was a joyous occasion. Hundreds of friends and relatives attended the service at Blessed Sacrament church in Kitchener, Ontario. The music was provided by his fellow musicians in Critical Mass, a spiritual rock group in which he often plays piano and keyboard. His brother, Matt was there on guitar. The group were chosen to play on the same stage with Pope John Paul during a World Youth Day celebration in Toronto last July. If anyone watched closely, they might have noticed something a little different. Fr Tim occasionally read parts of the service using his fingers to trace the Braille words in a book. His chalice -- a gift from his parents - was specially weighted so it would not easily fall over. The 28 year-old priest, is believed to be the first blind man to be ordained to the priesthood in Canada. Fr Tim was ordained as a member of the Companions of the Cross religious order, and has been assigned to an Ottawa parish until the summer. Twenty years ago, Devine would not have been allowed to begin studies for the Catholic priesthood because church law before 1983 forbade ordination of blind candidates and those with other physical impediments. Blind since childhood, Fr Tim can only discern shapes or blurred outlines if lighting conditions are correct. He says he is thankful he was born at this time - because there are now so many technological aids and advances that enable him to cope in the world of sighted people. Fr Bob Bedard, Fr Tim's superior, told the congregation yesterday he first met Devine eight years ago. "His smile lit up the room we were in. He told me he wanted to be a priest and a member of our order. And, then he said, 'But I'm blind.' " Bedard admitted he had misgivings "but then the Lord interrupted me and said, 'I've sent this man and you open the door and make room for him.' I said to myself, 'OK, right on.' "

Looks like Rovio is preparing a new episode for one of the most popular mobile games of all times. An Angry Birds Seasons update teaser was sent by the Finnish company to Angry Birds Nest, giving us a hint or two about the forthcoming update.
Just in time for the beginning of spring, the update could in fact be for that season and there are a couple of clues in the picture sent by Rovio. Firstly, the backdrop for the image is a starry sky, which indicates that the levels might take place in the spring night.
Then the text, 'The new seasons update is...' is getting sucked into some kind of a black hole or a portal. This hints at some of the mechanics for the new game
The teaser released by Rovio (Image credit: Angry Birds Nest)
The update, which will be the 16th episode of Angry Birds Season, will likely bring some different physics and mechanics, along with a new bird or two. Most fans are itching to see some implementation of the challenging Angry Birds Space game play for the Seasons episode as well. Angry Birds Nest also reports that the update will have some "pretty interesting trick shots", according to Rovio.
The next couple of months promise to be a pretty big month for astronomy geeks. The World Astronomy Day is set for April 20 and there are two meteor showers in the offing on April 21/22 and May 4/5. There is also a partial lunar eclipse on April 25 and an annular solar eclipse is expected for May 10. The presence of the black hole in the picture does cause us to lean towards the theory that there will be some astronomy-based interaction or challenge in the new episode.
Earlier, the company behind Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, Amazing Alex and The Croods had taken to Twitter to announce the new update for Angry Birds Season and also asked fans to decipher the image posted above.
Are you mad about all the Angry Birds games? Tell us what you think Rovio's latest teaser means.

Rome, Italy (PressExposure) July 22, 2009 -- NoMachine, creator and global provider of remote access NX software, announces Oxford Archaeology's addition of NX deployment to their new location in Caen, located in Northwest France. OA is one of the largest independent archaeology and heritage practices in Europe with nearly 400 specialist staff and NX already in use for their current offices located in Oxford, Lancaster, Cambridge and Montpellier, France.
Most of the archaeological work is carried out on-location prior to construction and development projects. Oxford Archaeology is one of the leading service-providers in this field, with thousands of clients in a wide range of industries in both Europe and overseas. Projects may take archaeologists anywhere and with NoMachine NX they can access their hosted virtual desktops and remote applications stored on the central server in the data center.
For a recent project using remote access, a bypass development in Weymouth, Dorset, radio carbon dating revealed the human skulls found on-site were from the late Saxon period instead of the Iron Age or early Roman as originally thought. With NX, data like this is easily stored, accessed, analyzed and updated at anytime and from anywhere, often months and sometimes years after work was initially started.
Mobile employees like on this project, across the company use NX to work remotely from site for what could be any length of time. Some employees have been working on-site in Normandy, France for eight months with NX providing desktop and application delivery; and Yann Hamon, the systems manager for OA currently living in Berlin, uses NX to work remotely and access his hosted virtual desktop and remote applications securely from home and other locations he must travel to. Furthermore, NX's smart caching technology means that OA's users' experience of accessing a remote desktop is like that of a local desktop.
Whatever the location, whether in the East of England or South of France, where burial pits were unexpectedly discovered before a road widening project, remote workers can access Linux or Windows desktop databases, word processing applications, an Internet browser and Web-based management tools. Users connect to both distributed MS Terminal Servers as well as Linux desktops and the GIS package through NX.
NoMachine NX is a fast remote access solution that fits OA's company strategy, providing access to hosted virtual desktops and remote applications while supporting their long-term goal of migrating to a full Linux environment. The cross-platform nature of NX supports the flexible application and platform mix and allows for the user's choice of operating system.
"NX provides superior performance, making remote access a pleasant experience for the end user, even over low-bandwidth connections," said Oxford Archaeology CIO, Chris Puttick. "Extreme security is a requirement of any remote access solution and NX's SSH tunnel provides that very effectively. Most importantly, NX, out of the box, just works, something I expect from IT solutions, but all too rarely discover is not true."
