While countries like the UAE and Oman are not typically superyacht hubs, Abu Dhabi is a destination on many UHNW travelers' radars owing to the Formula 1. As a result, in the UAE, Yas Marina holds the majority share of the charter season around the Formula 1 and other sporting events.
"Abu Dhabi features a vast array of attractions and cultural activities that are unique to the region," explained Cedric Le Rest, general manager. "As well as being a vibrant and modern city with restaurants to suit every palate and award winning hotels, the capital also offers wildlife, many museums and iconic landmarks."
During the F1, Le Rest says that an increasing number of superyachts are coming from the Med or southeast Asia to Abu Dhabi for the week. "These superyachts tend to stay in the area for the winter and spend a few weeks in the Maldives before coming back to us and then leaving for their homeport in April or May," he says.
Charter brokers based at Yas Marina include Captain Tony's, Azure Charter and Safwa Marine. "They offer access to a variety of yachts ranging in size – all the way up to 60m, so we are more than capable of accommodating most guests needs," Le Rest explains.
The climate can be harsh in this region, the summer months being prohibitively hot, affecting the charter season."We do have hot months in the summer but we are also lucky to enjoy one of the longest peak seasons in the world," says Le Rest. "We have eight months of weather that are perfect and very comfortable for cruising."
"It is a strange charter market in Abu Dhabi and Dubai," a regular charterer based in London tells us. "It is very seasonal, the local boats out there tend to be designed to stay in one place a bit more rather than charter and cruise, which is a different type of charter to what many Western clients would be looking for. The prices out there can be crazy and to find the right big boats is often a challenge as it is either 100ft boats or 300ft boats. But I think that now there has been some development and the boat market might improve out there. We will see how it goes."
For Le Rest, the Dubai Yacht Show is also a good chance for superyachts visit the region. "Yachts that come from overseas tend to stay berthed in Dubai for the show and then head back to their home berth in the region," he says, adding that "this region overall is certainly very equipped with state of the art marinas & world class services so the influx of yachts should not present too much of a challenge."
Moving away from the larger more established areas, Wayne Shepherd, general manager of Mourjan Marinas, suggests that the Middle East "is more of a destination, as its not on the typical superyacht route" and that it is an emerging market in the superyacht industry. "Dubai and Oman were certainly very rich in their maritime culture, but that was in the pearling and the trading industry," Sheperd says, but where the recreational market is concerned its still in its infancy, with majority of activity in the smaller size end of the market.
"Abu Dhabi is all set up – the facilities are fantastic and they are ready for superyachts, they have clearly directed the market there," Sheperd tells us, saying that in contrast, Dubai has a number of marinas that cater to smaller yachts. "The larger superyachts are still anchoring just off palm Jumeirah," he says, later stipulating that there is an increase of superyacht berths being installed in the region, which has positive indications. "I think there are still some commercial wharfs there, but at the end of the day they can still go and service them even if they don't have direct contact with the shore," he says. He also comment that recently there has been an increase of superyacht berths being installed.
Looking further afield to Oman, Sheperd describes this smaller nation as "gearing up" for the industry. "But I don't believe it will be for the large superyacht market other than for use of commercial wharfs," he says.
The growth in the region surrounding recent superyacht regulations, the new UAE code, an enlarging ownership pool and increasing order book however, is indicative of a region that could potentially see more and more activity in its waters, as the attraction of the middle east as a a UHNWI playground continues to grow. The Middle East undoubtedly is a region of great beauty and potential that for now, the more intrepid owner can make the most of.

Welcome to a new feature on our blog - Featured Member! One or more times a month we will be featuring a member of FiberArt NorthEast, showing examples of her work, and answers to a list of interesting questions that were posed to our group.
Our first featured member is Donna Chambers. You can find more of Donna's work on her website.
What is your favorite technique to employ in your fiber art and why?
I love working in raw edge appliqué . Raw edge appliqué quickly pushed me to experiment with fabric Mosaics. I use small squares, strips, rectangles and triangle bits of fabrics placing them as if they were ceramic tiles. It's very intense and the effect is powerful. Once the piece is free motion quilted it takes on a painterly and a dimensional look.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by many things. Fashion, Fabric, Metallics, Color, Texture and a real good challenge.
What skill, tool, or technique do you plan to master next?
I am currently taking a crazy quilt workshop. Can't wait to learn and experiment with the many hand embroidery stitches.
What other art media do you work in (past or present)? How does this inform your fiber work?
As a teenager I was blessed to work in the Ossining textile art studio of famed textile artist Vera Neumann of Vera Scarves. I know I got my color sense from her, she loved brights, texture, she always worked in groups and she always had a theme. What I learned from her is priceless.
I am a professional goldsmith/jewelry designer by trade since 1980, I manufacture and sell to stores throughout the the US. My jewelry is also influenced by texture and color as well as my fiber work plus metallics.
What advice to you have for
someone just starting in fiber art?
I encourage those starting in fiber arts to play a lot in materials of all sorts, take workshops and get yourself involved with an artistic group of people and let it rip.

Christmas stockings could be lighter than usual in households across the UK this year after it was revealed there was a shortage of 50,000 lorry drivers. About 85% of goods depend on the country's road network before they make their way onto shops' shelves making haulage the backbone of UK distribution.
But the Road Haulage Association (RHA), which represents more than 8,000 trucking companies, has said a combination of retiring drivers and expensive driving licences - a truck licence costs £3,000 - mean the industry is short of between 45,000-50,000 drivers even though road freight employs about 2.2m people.
The shortage raises the possibility that shoppers will be confronted by half-empty aisles in the build-up to Christmas as retailers struggle to take delivery of their orders.
The RHA's chief executive Richard Burnett said the government should step in to help. "We are short of between 45,000 and 50,000 drivers and the situation is getting worse," he said. "Thousands of older drivers are leaving the industry and younger people can't afford the £3,000 it costs to get a truck licence. The Government could help but won't.
"They should support a truck driving apprenticeship but are refusing to do so; even though they are forcing the larger trucking firms to pay the new apprenticeship levy. As far as the RHA is concerned, that amounts to little more than just a tax on payroll. What young person can find £3,000 without some help? This shortage is grave and presents a real threat to Christmas and to economic growth."
The government hopes to plug the gap with apprentices and a spokesman for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills said it was "working closely with the Logistics Trailblazer group and has provided feedback to help them develop their LGV (Large Goods Vehicle) Driver apprenticeship standard".

It's too bad more publishers don't involve their authors like that in the cover art. I'm OCD enough that I get really annoyed at covers that get the details wrong or have nothing to do with the story. LOLReplyDelete
Anywho, it truly is an awesome cover. It's the kind of cover that would pull me across a bookstore for a better look. It just screams, "BUY ME! I'M AWESOME!"
Wow, that's so awesome to see the steps in how the cover changed and how receptive the artist and publisher was to working with you.ReplyDelete

I started with these 8ply merino colours from my hand dyed stash.
I warped the loom and wove using a very deep purple.
And this is how it turned out!
There are many styles to wear a wide, long shawl in.
It's lovely and warm too.
Weaving this has given me some fresh ideas on using the warp as a feature.
I've ordered a second heddle kit for my loom, which means that I will be able to weave double the width of cloth without buying a larger loom! Exciting! I've always wanted to weave baby blankets and the new kit will allow me to do that.
There is always something new to learn or a way to expand your skills.
Happy creating!

We asked some of the people who are molding our neighborhoods, our art scene, and the tech ecosystem to reflect on how far we came in the last 12 months
There's still a long way to go, but he thinks strong leadership this next year is going to shake things up.
Getting the ball rolling on preservation of the Miami Marine Stadium was a big win, but next year Rupp thinks locals will start to take control of the future of their neighborhoods.
Miami hasn't matured as much as Natalia Martinez-Kalinina would have liked, she thinks next year will bring more avenues for exchange between the centers of innovation in Latin America and Miami.
Looking back on his reflections for last year, Willie Avendano thinks Miami's tech scene is still in the kindergarten stage. But he thinks this is the year for us to start working on building the missing piece that's keeping us from graduating.
But he says there's a lot more experimenting to do.
But about that Frost Science Museum...
She's looking forward to the many collaborations in the year to come.

What Students Say About Online Classes
"I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC."—F. Robertson

Testing Your Soil
See Also: Soil pH for Vegetables
Are you only having mediocre results with your lawn, vegetable garden, flowers or shrubs? If so, chances are you need to have your soil tested so you know exactly what is needed to properly grow your plants.
There are several different ways in which you can have your soil tested. One is to use a do-it-yourself home soil test kit. Soil testing services are also provided by the Washington State University Cooperative Extension Service, or by private laboratories. Both the private laboratories and the Cooperative Extension Service charge a small fee for soil testing. The actual fee depends upon the extent of the soil tests. Forms and information for the Washington State University Cooperative Extension Services are available through your local county extension service. You will find them listed in the white pages of your telephone directory under county government. Depending upon the season, it will take from one to three weeks for results.
If you want to test your own soil, you can easily do it with a soil test kit. Most garden outlets feature soil test kits, such as the one sold by Sudbury Laboratory of Sudbury, Massachusetts.
A good soil test is essential because it lets you know the specific nutrient needs of your garden so you do not waste money on the wrong fertilizers. The soil test will also let you know whether you need to raise or lower the pH of your soil. Careful soil testing and correction of the soil to the specific needs of your garden assures that each crop gets exactly what it needs to grow and yield to its fullest potential.
Here is why it is necessary that you know the soil pH, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potash content in your soil.
pH - Soil pH is the factor which determines whether or not plants are able to consume nutrients. If the pH is too high or too low, nutrients in the soil "lock up", become unabsorbable by the plants, thus fertilizer not only goes to waste, but your plants literally starve to death.
NITROGEN - Adequate nitrogen produces luxuriant growth of stalks, stems, leaves, and grasses. Excessive nitrogen causes too rapid growth that results in softness of tissue and general plant weakness. Plants suffering from nitrogen deficiency are more susceptible to disease, infection, and injury. Plants given too much nitrogen resume active vegetable ("green") growth which retards flower and seed formation.
PHOSPHORUS - Phosphorus gives plants a rapid start, stimulates root formation, hastens maturation, aids blooming and seed formation.
POTASH (POTASSIUM) - Proper amounts of potash stimulate early root or tuber formation which is essential for all underground vegetables and tuberous flowers. Excessive potash reduces a plant's resistance to droughts and frost injury and delays plant maturity.
HOW TO GATHER SOIL SAMPLE - Gather a soil sample from two to three inches below the surface using a clean instrument such as a soil sampler, trowel or spoon. Since test results are sensitive to external factors such as ashes, never smoke while gathering or testing your soil and avoid touching the sample with your hands.
Put samples in clean containers and label according to which part of the garden they were gathered from. Samples should be taken from various areas, especially when there is a change in the elevation of the land or where there might be a variation in the soil (a particularly sunny spot, an area beneath a tree, a part of your garden that has been under cultivation, or low-lying areas which collect water). It is best to take samples from each corner and the center of the plot in any case.
The soil should not be too wet. If it is not dry enough to walk on, allow it to air dry naturally rather than over direct heat.
Remove solids and debris such as stones and pieces of wood WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SOIL. Crumble soil as finely as possible. This is easily accomplished by putting the sample in a plastic bag and crumbling or going over it with a rolling pin. Your sample is now ready for testing.
Soil test kits, such as the Sudbury kit, include valuable charts listing the ideal pH for hundreds of flowering plants, vegetables, grasses, and trees, plus, charts illustrating how to determine exact nutritional needs after testing, instructions on how to raise and lower pH, and instructions on when and how to fertilize.
With a properly fertilized lawn and/or garden, with the soil adjusted to the correct pH level, you should have little problem growing beautiful flowers, the juiciest, most nutritious vegetables, or the thickest, greenest lawn in town.

svnsync: Cannot accept non-LF line endings
From: <webpost_at_tigris.org>
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:27:59 -0700 (PDT)
Hello, I have been reading alot on this issue but have not seen a fix.
I am trying to svnc over a repo so that I can start proxying...during the svnsync I get:
The original repo was from svn version 1.2.3 it was then moved to a 1.6.1 server. I then set up another 1.6.1 server as the proxy but I can not get the svnsync to work.
Is there a fix or work around for this? I understand that this is a problem with certain windows clients when doing commits.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

By Angus MacSwan
A long-range strike by substitute Memphis Depay gave the Netherlands a 3-2 win over Australia in a thrilling World Cup Group B game but a brave, hard-charging Socceroos side had threatened to earn a famous victory.
The game was marked by end-to-end action and spectacular goals – notably a stunning volley by Australia's Tim Cahill which cancelled out a goal by the Netherlands' Arjen Robben only a minute earlier.
The match belied Australia's status as underdogs and proved Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal's warning that they would come out attacking to be correct. But in the end, the mighty Dutch, conquerors of holders Spain in their opening game, prevailed.
It was against the run of play when Robben opened the scoring in the 20th minute. Picking up the ball on the halfway line, he charged towards the goal like a bull to a matador and slammed the ball past Mat Ryan.
Tim Cahill replied immediately, however, by crashing a fantastic 20-metre volley into the roof of the net for what will be a strong contender for goal of the tournament.
"It just felt so right to hit it and I hit it sweetly…This is what it's all about because everyone dreams of playing on this stage and I want to leave a mark for all the kids back in Australia and around the world to be inspired by this today," Cahill said.
After that the pace stepped up as the Dutch tried to get more wind in their sails but it was the Australians who looked more threatening. Mark Bresciano missed a good chance in the 30th minutes when good work by Matthew Leckieset him up only for him to blast wide.
Nine minutes into the second half, Australia were awarded a penalty after Oliver Bozanic hammered the ball straight at Daryl Janmaat's arm.
Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak cooly slotted the penalty past Jasper Cillissen, giving Australia a 2-1 lead and the chance to dream.
But this time it was the Netherlands' turn to strike back quickly. In the 58th minute Robin Van Persie banged in a well-controlled shot inside the penalty area.
Memphis Depay whacked in what proved to be the winner with a long-range shot 10 minutes later, sealing the game for the Netherlands.
"Heartbreaker mate, I just wanted the players to get a reward," Australia coach Ange Postecoglou said.
"We went out there and we said we'd have a go and we'll do that in the last game."
Cahill got a yellow card for clattering into Bruno Martins Indi just before halftime so will miss Australia's final group game against Spain.
Dutch striker Robin van Persie will also be suspended for his team's final group game after picking up a yellow card.
"The World Cup is the greatest tournament in the world, with all the best players and it's tough, tough agains tAustralia and again next week and the week after. It's the World Cup," Van Persie said.
"I'm really pleased with the result, especially as I can't play the last game."


text: I recently ordered a set of 760FL's in medium scale length for a bass with a 32" scale. They turned out to be too short (the silk on the E string extends past the nut). So, I ordered a set of long scale 760FL's which, it turns out, are so long that a turn or two of the steel flat wound portion of the string will be wrapped around the tuning peg. Doesn't bother me except that it says on the package not to do this. In fact it says that the strings "will almost certainly break". I'm tempted to try it anyway, especially since the vendor dosen't accept returns if the package has been opened. Will the strings really break? Other than the possibility of a broken string, is there any downside to installing them that way? I'd appreciate any advice.

Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience Review
Hands up, I'll admit that I tried to keep my son away from Peppa Pig for as long as physically possible, but after enduring his Bing addiction for months on end, that thought of how bad can it really be popped into my head. After two episodes he was hooked! Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, Peppa and George are frequent visitors to our household! So when Peppa Pig: My First Cinema Experience came out in the cinema's just around the age we were thinking it would be fun to take Harrison for his first cinema ... Continue Reading

1) Goodbye For Now - Jenny Katz. Strong, focused lyrics. You have something to say and it comes across clearly. Nice feeling of change moving to the chorus and to the bridge. Excellent build up to the outro. Love the use of "going, going, gone". Really well done!
2) The Dream Is Winding Down - Governing Dynamics. "Grasping for the feeling just before the feeling dies" Nice imagery! Nice build up to the chorus. The grammar in the chorus throws me a little if I'm hearing it correctly "So long away" and "You've went far enough". That's what I'm hearing. If that is what you are saying, the grammar will definitely put people off. "You're so long ago" or "So far away" may sound too ordinary but they aren't as distracting. And "you've gone far enough" would be the way to put that second line. Song structure is good. Good use of imagery.
3) Tired Of Counting Down - Bubba And The Amiable Kraken. Good song structure. Rhyme scheme was clear but, at times, felt forced to make the rhyme rather than fit a central idea. There seemed to be a theme of time but then also the theme of this "finding you" that seemed disconnected from the rest of the song. Still the style and sound was very nice and satisfying, reminiscent of the Steve Miller Band. Classic sound. It could be very sing-a-long-able and could "hit home" more if the central idea was more focused. Loved the easy going vocals and sweet backing vox.
4) 4-3-2-1 - Zoe Gray. Clever and sweet. The 4-3-2-1 gives it a sing-a-long-able quality but the rest of the chorus doesn't because each chorus changes at the end. That's not a bad thing at all. It's simply a choice but, it's something to consider if you're pushing for a sing-a-long song (Ex: When I'm gone-Anna Kendrick). Another thing to consider is that the verse and chorus have the same rhyme scheme and melody so there's not a big distinction between verse and chorus (other than lyrically)and that takes power away from the chorus. The melody, however, is quite pleasant and memorable. Lovely voice.
Countdown To Nothing (Shadow) - Rob from Amersfoort. "Crazy business man running for President...ignorance is bliss" very engaging line! A timely commentary on the current state of affairs. Nice touch with the "ticking" in the beginning.
Off The Grid - Brian Gray. Has a quirky Ben Folds feel that I love. The apocalypse subject matter is unique and original. Good chorus! Favorite lines in the song: "Sidestep the impending apocalypse", "Time to do the things I never did", "Other people suck". Though, I think the lyrics in the first part of the second verse could have ended stronger. The first verse set it up very nicely. Then, 'per' and 'were' paired nicely in the rhyme scheme but "that were" wasn't as satisfying an end to that part of the verse because it wasn't as clever as the verse that came before. Just something to consider. Well done!

Avian Mortality at Communications Towers
A workshop sponsored by
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service, The Ornithological Council, and The American Bird Conservancy.
Presentation Number 16
Research and policy overview: a critique and needs analysis
Kathleen Rogers, Esq.
Piedmont Environmental Council, 45 Homer St., P.O. Box 460, Warrenton, VA 20188
Phone: (540) 347-2334
Al Manville's introduction of the sixteenth speaker, Kathleen Rogers.
Our final speaker this afternoon - before we convene our panel discussion - is currently the Director of Land Use Policy for the Piedmont Environmental Council in Warrenton, Virginia. I've also known her in the past in a capacity as Wildlife Counsel with the National Audubon Society. She was an Associate with the law firm of Beveridge & Diamond, and worked on a number of environmental issues with them. She's been a law clerk with a United States District Court Judge in Washington, DC. She served on the United Nations Conference on Women Council, she worked on the Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee, and she worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation before that. Kathleen Rogers is going to give us a research and policy overview, critique and needs analysis. Kathleen.

This section of course is a public policy section, but I think it has a lot of implications for research. I think very quickly, we have to think about the three different types of towers we're talking about here. The first is existing radio and broadcast towers, most of which have been described as monsters, big ones. The second are the PCS cell towers. They're currently being built and there are many, many, many of them. And to go back and talk about Sheldon - and it's not Sheldon' fault - but one of the comments he made about wireless service providers not knowing about the bird implications. I think it's probably incumbent on the industry - and they could probably do it in a few days through their website and other places - to let their providers know that there is this issue. The third, of course, is digital TV towers which are the big, big, big ones that are coming down the pike and those towers are the ones, I think, that will be particularly the issue for both the research and the public policy concerns.
Let me just tell you that the Telecommunications Act [1996] does prohibit, it prohibits localities from prohibiting service completely and it prohibits them from discriminating against providers, but that's about all it prohibits. What it does allow localities - meaning local governments in all of your counties, you each live in a county and each of those counties will have tower applications before them, they have them now, they've had them in the past, they'll have them in the future - it allows those counties to prohibit, for example the building of the cheapest tower. Providers are not allowed or given permission under the law to build the absolute cheapest tower. That provider may have to build multiple towers below a tree-line and that is permissible under the Telecommunications Act. In which case it would eliminate, in most, except for the rarest of circumstances, at least PCS towers over 200 feet. So all of a sudden we're looking at a smaller group of towers if we really do follow what localities have been able to do in many jurisdictions. Except again, in the rarest of circumstances, you're not going to see PCS towers over 200 feet if localities have anything to do with it.
The next is that it allows counties to prohibit builders from building anywhere they want. It allows them to require builders to find very unobtrusive places like Mike Allred of Southwestern Bell just talked about and they've been terrific in terms of avoiding a lot of problem situations in many counties in which they work. There is an exception to this which I think is an issue and I think it was raised by one of the speakers today which is that in state department of transportation right-of-ways. State departments of transportation are allowed, are allowing, and have permission to allow cell towers to be built in the right-of-ways and those towers that they build escape local jurisdiction. Fairfax County challenged that because Virginia is notoriously bad at environmental protection and they have allowed, I think over 100 towers to be built - many in the right-of-ways and they are a problem. That's been challenged; they lost at the local level, but they're appealing it so that's something to watch and it was raised by someone here as towers built in right-of-ways because there is no local power to do much about it or so its been said.
I think case law, just so everyone knows, has been pretty supportive of everything I've said. Occasionally a locality will lose. They may not have the money to appeal, but generally speaking a lot of the case law supports the fact that counties can basically tell cell tower providers where they want them to ride and require them to co-locate and things like that. So I guess my view is, except in the rarest of circumstances, we shouldn't have to be dealing with towers over 200 feet if we're talking about cell towers. I work in an area of the country that is about the size of New Jersey with 12 counties and in our counties we have sometimes at any given time 12 to 15 applications for sites in each county. It's a lot of towers to fight, it's a lot of towers to deal with, but there is one of the things that you can all do. Those applications are generally on the web and if people can focus, you can send comments in either through the web to the county and let them know you either don't like the placement of the tower, or it's along a migratory bird route and they will be able to consider that as part of their environmental review. I can talk about that a little bit more at the end.
So I think the question is what really is FCC's role in this, what is the local county's role, and what is our role, both with respect to research and with respect to what I'll call "activism" for lack of a better word. I don't want to hit Holly when she's down - she's a darling, but she's sitting back there with a sprained ankle - but since she's down, I'll go ahead. I think the FCC's interpretation of NEPA is simply awful and incorrect as a matter of law. The Council for Environmental Quality (CEQ) - the mother of NEPA regulations - allows you to consider things beyond what the FCC is considering in their list of 8 things that were put up on the screen [Mike Allred's presentation]. They've always provided for looking at general environmental harm and I think that if it is pursued to the detriment of migratory birds then it is ripe for challenge. I think also it is important to look at both CEQ and EPAs' recent guidance on NEPA. I'll just quickly read to you, EPA's for example says, "An EPA reviewer can identify geographic area and extend the area when necessary to include the same or other resources affected by the impacts of the project." In other words, EPA and CEQ are taking an ecosystem view of a proposed project so in this case, in the case of a cell tower, I think it's perfectly reasonable to include cumulative impacts along the migratory route. It could be very, very long, but as long as we have the evidence and the impact, particularly if it's a migratory stop-over, etc., I think all of that is something that the FCC can take into account. In fact, because they have taken it into account, and it has been raised with them, I think it's incumbent on them to do that in every circumstance when you have any evidence at all and certainly they know it's an issue.
I think the other thing is that CEQ's regulations also allow you to take into consideration, when you are doing this analysis - in fact they require it where it is reasonably foreseeable - that it is indeed reasonably foreseeable that there will be thousands of towers built. Therefore, cumulative impacts analysis under NEPA requires us to take into consideration that thousands of towers are reasonably foreseeable to be built and therefore we should consider them in toto. Even if they're not yet built.
And I think everyone would agree, if you looked at the law on this, that it's pretty clear that you can take the future construction of these towers into account when you're analyzing it. That's exactly what we all want to be able to consider. Sit down, put the towers on a map and look at where they are going to be. Industry knows where they are building.
They've been in my office many times, for example SPRINT and other people 6 to 8 months ago and said, "within four years, we want x number of towers." And they'll show you a county map and where the towers are going to be placed. That's just one provider in the county. There are multiple providers in every county. You can do what's called an "all-call." Again, Fairfax County did it, where all the cell tower providers are required to put their plans down on paper so that the county can force them to be where they want them to be. That's something that is perfectly viable and acceptable under the FCC rules.
Just quickly, what can you do? I think there is a great need to work with other groups on this and possibly a subcommittee of us could focus on this. I'll give you an example, the Appalachian Trail Conference, a great group that manages a couple thousand miles of the Appalachian Trail. They're about to announce an agreement with the industry which they've negotiated hard and long on, that they're very proud of, that gives them the right to be consulted with any towers placed in front of a scenic trail. Scenic America is doing the same thing. That's great, but that doesn't really help us and the same thing is true of a lot of other groups. They're negotiating agreements with the industry, but we should all be working together.
We should lobby as quickly as we can and as hard as we can, both the Administration and Congress, for money for Holly to do two things. One is for her agency [FCC] to conduct the research or to require that research be done by the industry. And that's not unheard of - it happens in a lot of other contexts. And secondly, let's lobby for Holly for money for other employees to help her. She doesn't have a single environmental reviewer among her staff and that responsibility is not hers, but the FCC has "passed to the fox the hen house review," and so you have the providers doing the environmental research and then you have nobody at the FCC that's competent to review it. This seems to me to be close to insane, but anyway. And I think the FCC would appreciate it. They're a small agency, as Holly said, and they don't have a lot of money, so I think it is something we can help them with.
I think the FCC could quickly create a scientific advisory board. They can do that right now under regular agency law. We should sit on it, we should review permits, all that sort of thing, that we should be able to go ahead and do in working with industry - put the committee together. As I said most of the action is at the county level, you can work with the birding groups, the Sierra Club, National Audubon has chapters all over the place, get on the web. Let the [Audubon] Chapters and all these places pay attention to what's coming up in their counties. Every tower will have county review, even if it's in a right-of-way. Those counties can get information to you. Most counties are on the web so you can respond and say, "yes, that's a problem"; "yes, it's a migratory bird corridor"; and, "yes, it's an important bird area", whatever it is, you can get it very easily if we just get organized.
Work with industry, a lot of them are really great and they're trying to help out. I just spoke to a person who has invested a lot of time in camouflaging towers and putting them in out-of-the-way places. There are people in the industry that we can work with.
Let's petition for a rule-making to help the FCC out if they say they can't do more. Let's do it.
I don't want to pick on Sheldon, but there's another thing he said which is, "it's not been conclusively demonstrated that there's a problem and no administrative or policy measure for limiting fatal interactions should be considered until conclusive evidence is provided." That's not as matter of law. In the legal standard, you don't have to have conclusive evidence before you take action. I'd recommend a petition on the rule making and I think Fish and Wildlife Service - based on their presentation - would probably agree. Find the right site to challenge. If we had a site that's particularly bad, where we know there are a lot of bird kills, let's challenge the continued operation of the site. I think that is perfectly acceptable.
Modification of towers and re-licensing of towers give people the opportunity to step in. If modification or re-licensing are carried out, you have an opportunity to request, in certain circumstances, modification of what the tower looks like.
And finally, I look at a lot of model contracts that landowners sign. Often, particularly in rural areas - that is where a lot of these things are going to be - you have landowners who need money. They'll sign these contracts if it looks lucrative to them and at the end of the contract it says, "all improvements on your property belong to you." Well, not a lot of them think that means the tower, but it does. And so when the service is no longer needed, and it will become obsolete fairly quickly - you know, 5, 10, 15 years it will become obsolete - the landowner is then stuck with taking the tower down. A lot of counties are now requiring bonding so that there is money available to take them down. So I think that's also really something we could petition either Congress or the FCC to require because I think it's all within their power. Thank you very much.

Boris Johnson feels snubbed by Theresa May
So it is all kicking off between Johnson and May.
I was briefed by the Johnson side that third parties (the chief whip and Justine Greening) brokered a meeting between him and her on Monday at the Cabinet Office - and that he turned up and she snubbed him.
Her campaign manager swears on everything dear to her that the Home Secretary agreed to no such meeting.
And there are similar claims and denials about a subsequent attempt to unite the two sides.
It's bloody - made bloodier tonight by an unambiguous statement by Theresa May's team that there will be no deals with Boris Johnson, which his team feel a bit bruised by.
And in tomorrow's Times she writes that the new Tory leader must understand "hardship" and realise that politics is not a "game" - which most of her colleagues will read as code for "we'd be mad to choose another bleedin' opportunist Etonian".
What is funny or tragic, depending on your detachment from all this, will be that both will sell themselves to MPs and Tory members tomorrow as peacemakers, unifiers, One Nation Tories who will apply balm to the referendum-inflicted wounds of party and country.
As for unity between the two of them, I am not sure the UN could broker that.

Judi's Girlfriend Adventure to the Flea Market!
Girlfriendology wrote a great blog about exploring your own city. It was full of great suggestions, and it only took me a ten months to follow her advice. But finally, gal pal Peg and I went to the flea market.
Now, this is not just any flea market. This is the huge one that seems to take up most of three counties. It is by no means the largest in the country or even the state, but it's the largest one near us and we'd been talking about going for over two years. Inspired by Girlfriendology, we set out.
Turn the Map Over
We've passed the flea market more times than I care to count, so of course neither of us thought directions were necessary. "Is this the exit?" asked Peg. "No, I'm pretty sure it's the next one," I answered. You guessed it—we drove right passed our turn. Three miles later, we turned around and eventually found the gate.
We paid our admission and received a map of all the different buildings. While Peg proceeded to navigate to a parking space, I perused the map. "OK, we're at the North Gate, so that means we're here." I said, stabbing the paper. Peg turned off the engine and said, "No, we're at the South Gate." After that, we shoved the map in my purse and decided to wing it.
No Expectations
Even though we'd heard about this place for years, neither of us really knew what to expect. We just opened our eyes and ears and dove into the experience. I found a HUGE concrete worm I just knew had to go in my garden. And we found local made horseradish mustard—yum! If I had made a shopping list before we went, I would how to buy keppra never have either item on it! And I would have completely missed out.
Walk About
I knew the flea market was big, but I did not realize how big. We walked approximately 9 g'billion miles together. [A "g'billion" is a precise measure I just made up that you get by taking the number of possible linear feet times the number of people you have to walk around plus the number of miles you have to walk to get to the closest ladies room minus the number of empty spaces in the parking lot all multiplied by the shoe factor which is a figure based on whether your footwear is made for walking.) Note: events like this are not the place for spiky heels.
Girlfriend Deals
Many of the vendors we found offered extra savings for multiple purchases and with two of us we were able to take advantage of the buy-one-get-the-second-half-off kind of thing. The mustard we bought came in a really big jar, so we bought one and split it later. Perfect girlfriend collaborative shopping.
Time Together
The most important part of the day was the time we got to spend together. Being able to catch up on our lives, talk about the good stuff and the challenges, share ideas for the future—well, that's what being friends is all about, right? Because in between the purses and the jewelry and the garden gnomes and the thousands of other things, the one thing not for sale was friendship.
What local adventures have you and your girlfriends taken?
Judi is Chief of Local Excursions at Girlfriendology.com. She is still smiling at the memories of her weekend venture to the flea market with her gal pal. Her goofy cement worm is settling in nicely to her garden.

SANFORD - A Lillington woman was arrested Sunday after trying to drive away from lawmen on U.S. 421 Bypass at speeds topping 100 mph, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said.
Tiffany Lynn McNeill, 19, of the 100 block of Old Hundred Loop, was charged with two counts of assault on government officials and resisting arrest and one count of speeding to elude arrest, a Sheriff's Office release said.
McNeill was spotted driving erratically, the release said, and deputies attempted to stop her vehicle.
McNeill drove away, but spun out on a ramp as she exited the highway and then rammed a Sheriff's Office patrol vehicle and a Sanford police car, the release said.
Bail was set at $30,000.

Tuo tarina, joka on tosi sai aikaan sen, että korut myytiin loppuun päivässä. Taikauskoa vai onnenkaipuuta, tai sekä että. Tai vain liian harmaa sateinen Syyskuinen perjantai.
Minna told me about a man who had walked into the store, and purchased this lucky charm for his pregnant wife. How thoughtful. This true story was spread forward, and these charms were sold out in one day. Either it's superstition or just wishing for some luck to strike, or maybe both. Or maybe this Friday in the middle of September was just too grey and rainy. (Translation: Merja Barry)
Lucky Eye pendant is an R/H classic piece and has the colors of white snow and fresh nordic water. The Lucky Eye was born to bring luck in the process of the first R/H season. It did a good job so it has stayed ever since.
The Lucky Eye brings good luck and protects the one who wears it.
Handmade in Finland.

Spice Up Your Windows Sound Effects With Amazing Resources
Windows will play a sound when you log on, if your battery is running low and if you encounter an error. But what if you want to mix things up a bit and change the sound scheme for your computer? Check out this article from MakeUseOf.com.
Most people will customise their wallpaper or screensaver, but let's take it one step further by altering sound. A lightsaber swoosh when you receive an email? A famous movie quote when you shut down? The sky is the limit!
This guide will briefly walk you through how to change your sound scheme and point you to some of the best places to download alternative audio.
Alter Individual Sounds Or Set A Scheme
It's simple and quick to get customising your sounds. Windows 7 comes with a good number of preinstalled sound schemes, meaning you can switch to a whole new set in seconds. Sadly, Windows 8 doesn't offer any of these different schemes. The only choices are the default pack or having no sound at all.
Fear not, however, because it's possible to build your own scheme and customise it exactly how you like. Like a Star Trek sound scheme, for example! You can either change specific sounds or go all the way and alter everything.
Changing your sound scheme is a really easy process. You can go ahead and change them all or just alter them as you see fit. For details on how to go about setting your custom sounds, be sure to check out our customising your Windows sound effects guide.
Top Resources For Sound Downloads
Now you know how to customise your sound schemes, it's just a case of picking out those perfect audio files. If you don't have any suitable choices, take a gander at the list below for some free resources.
It's important to note that you can only use .wav files for your audio files. If you're using your own clips, rather than those from the specialised sites below, it's likely they'll be in .mp3 format or similar. Don't fear, it's not a problem – you'll just need to convert your audio files before Windows will let them be used. Happily, you can use a handy free and online tool called media.io to convert your files.
These are some of the top resources we found, but be sure to visit the comment section below to add your own suggestions.
There's a load of variety on offer at FindSounds because it searches all over the web to hunt down the audio. Whether you want your computer to play a different guitar chord for every event, fancy some animal noises to get you in the jungle spirit, or want a Simpsons makeover, FindSounds has got you covered.
FindSounds is still going strong to this day. In fact, this coming August will be the fifteenth year that the site has been live. Just type in what you're looking for and click Search or you can view their list of examples to get the inspiration flowing.
Freesound is incredibly active and new sounds are constantly being added from users all over the globe. There are over a quarter of a million sound effects and counting, making it a hugely varied source. There's the standard stuff that you can expect, like nature noises and drum beats, but there's also more unusual choices like the ambient noise inside a walk in freezer.
You don't even have to convert anything since you can sort all the results by file type, meaning you can pick out the .wav files that'll keep Windows happy. Also, the site was recently updated to include a new feature that allows you to follow specific users or tags. You'll then be notified whenever these are updated through weekly emails, which is great for those who like to keep their sounds fresh.
Sound effects and music tracks aplenty are on offer at freeSFX. Grab a comical squish, the chug of a train or the fax modem signal (just in case you miss the olden days). There are even very specific, specialised noises, which make freeSFX a unique place.
There's also a variety of royalty free music, should you want to opt for some lengthier tunes to accompany your Windows actions. You might want to use this as your log in sound in order to start the day with a track you enjoy – opting for smooth jazz, for example, is a sure-fire way to keep calm!
SoundPackager is different from the others on the list. While those above are websites to download sounds from, SoundPackager is a program that aims to make changing your sound schemes a breeze. It's developed by Stardocks, the guys behind some popular Windows customisation tools like ObjectDock.
The program allows you to apply new sound schemes with a single click. You can also create your own sound packages or edit the existing ones with ease. The only downside is that the program costs $9.99 (with a 30 day trial), though if you're keen on sound customisation it may be worthwhile.
There is also a supporting site called WinCustomize, which is great because you can download full themed sets instantly. While the site isn't really active anymore, it still has a decent archive of sets that might have you covered.
If you want to kit your computer out with Team Fortress 2, Knight Rider or Zelda, then this is a great place to go. There's even schemes on there that you probably wouldn't think of, but may appeal – a whole Justin Timberlake set, for example!
Sound Off
Had enough of all this talk of sound? Want to mute everything and live in a silent world of computer browsing? We've got you sorted, with our detailed guide on how to mute your Windows audio.
For those of you who do like a bit of noise, go ahead and customise your Windows schemes to your heart's content. You can make as many as you like, allowing you to switch things up when different moods strike.
Have you ever customised your Windows sound schemes? What resources do you use to find good sounds?

The Phoenix Coyotes, currently owned and administered by the National Hockey League signed young star blueliner Oliver Ekman-Larsson to a sweet, sweet deal worth $33 million over six years. Of note is that the heavily backweighted nature of the contract means whoever buys the team (may it be soon) will pay him two times as much in 2018-19 as the NHL will pay him next season. As long as he continues to improve it should still be a good price.
Don't look now, but the Minnesota Wild are just two points out of the Northwest division lead. Sure, for the past ten decades that's been a lot like finishing second in the Special Olympics, but this year staying close means even if the don't overtake the flat in their last ten Vancouver Canucks, the 6-4-0 in their last ten Wild on the other hand are trending in the right direction and have allowed 8 less goals in the 26 games each has played. The Xcel Energy center will be quite juiced up in May if the return of native son Zach Parise helps spark the team to a playoff berth.
Sobotka was traded to the St Louis Blues from the Boston Bruins for David Warsovfky after the 2009-10 season and has appeared in 165 regular season games for the Blues. Warsovsky has yet to even get a cup of coffee in the NHL, Vladimir Sobotka has played an additional 9 playoff games. Currently Sobotka is fourth on the Blues in goal scoring.
The Tampa Bay Lightning waived, and their division rivals the Carolina Hurricanes, who happen to read lead the division, claimed Adam Hall. The Michigan native has played for the Nashville Predators, the New York Rangers, the Pittsburgh Penguins since coming into the NHL in 2001. Canes fans should expect Hall to slide into the penalty kill. It is interesting that the Lightning who are 13th in the NHL on the penalty kill should waive him, unless one looks down form their position rather than up. The Hurricanes on the other hand are 22nd in the league as of today and will likely give the UFA to be a workload similar to the 2:11 of shorthanded time on ice he had with the Lightning.
Monday evening, Kimmo Timonen of the Philadelphia Flyers will play his 1000th NHL game. The bastion of the blueline has been in a Flyers uniform since the 2007-08 season and will be celebrating his birthday as well. The Finnish native was drafted in the 10th round of the 1993 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings whom he never played a game for.
Mike Milbury thinks Mike Ribeiro of the Washington Capitals will be available at the deadline. Long his favorite team, Milbury had little more than "buyer beware" to say of the former Dallas Star and Montreal Canadien.

Sometimes all You Need is a Fresh Look.
For many, 'interior design' sounds like a luxury that can't be afforded. What if it could instead be a reality, regardless of your budget? Well, it can. Eastern Vista Design's Mari Takeda specializes in helping you transition from a space that doesn't represent you or your style, to one that suits you to a tee.
Maybe your color scheme doesn't please you, the lighting's all wrong, or your accessories need to be updated. Perhaps the palate's not bright enough or too subdued, or, maybe your space is too vast and empty, and requires more texture.
Mari is an expert at freshening the look, feel, and overall experience of being in a space. After evaluating your home, she designs a road map for a transformed design that makes sense for you on every level, from aesthetics to function. By making changes to accessories, textures, light fixtures, fountains, furniture, window treatments, artwork, sound, and more, Mari can bring a new, vibrant, fresh look to your space.
If you are yearning for a revived look for your home or office, contact Mari for a free interior design consultation today.

Today was a good day. I really needed a good day. The adrenaline that comes with the first six weeks of having a newborn is all gone now and I'm spent, physically and mentally.
D had a good day at preschool and pick up was a breeze. We had a great dinner (which he actually ate) and then went over to a friend's house afterwards for a short visit. He played nicely and *gasp* quietly, and didn't even lose his shit when it was time to leave.
All of this almost completely overshadows the fact that it's after 9 o'clock and he's still upstairs screaming about who knows what. Almost. I will take what I can get though.
I've also started getting back to some having some mommy time. Jules and I had our very first Pinterest party on the weekend. We basically get together and make something we pinned ages ago, thought would be awesome, and then forgot all about.
Good behaviour and creative outlets. This is what I am excited about right now. Small victories.

This is the continuation of a series of blogs to promote the e-book SO YOU WANT to LIVE in COSTA RICA – which is a guide to… the Adventures, Trials and Tribulations of Settling in Paradise… This is a guide book that will give you the kind of insider's knowledge that you might wish you had before you made your decision to move or not move to Costa Rica.
Every blog entry will start with the appendix because that way when you read whatever else I have posted it will 1. make sense (I hope) and 2. give you a point of reference in case you realize you need to read something that is "archived". Because if you read every blog I enter you will have eventually read the whole e-book and won't need to order it for $2.99 from Amazon or B&N. All you'll be missing are the photos that show what you might expect if you choose to undertake the Adventures, Trials and Tribulations of Settling in Paradise.
As I said, I will start each blog with the appendix so that the reader can reference important elements of the book to archived blogs. The page numbers shown are the actual page they appear on in the book. Here is the Appendix – and these are all the nuggets and their corresponding page numbers: Definition of "nugget" – 3, Doors & Windows – 7, Manufacturing – 11, Real Estate – 11, Shipping – 12,Maps, – 15, Corporations – 20, Traffic Cops – 23, Know basic Spanish – 30, Panama – 33, Roof Line – 42, Plumita Pacifica Web Address – 65, Getting the Best a Tico has to Offer – 84, Power Surges – 86, Liberia Airport – 88, Attitude – 104, Cellular Phones – 117, Newspapers – 18, Your Embassy – 137, Buying & Selling Cars – 154, Drive Slowly – 161, Arriving at the Airport – 168, Wages & Prices – 170, Undertows – 226, Life Ring – 230, Avoiding Customs Confiscations – 234, Driving Rules – 236, Walking in the City – 249, Purchasing Anything – 258, Buying Fresh Produce – 263, Bus Tickets – 272, to "Bribe" or not to "Bribe" – 313, Traffic ticket Prices – 315, Exiting the Country – 337
chapter 6 continued
Ok, so I went to Liberia and met the architect who proceeds to hand me the wrong form! What a dingbat. But the good news was that it turned out she had me meet her at the place where they have all of these types of records on file. So I got the correct form and scooted back to Santa Cruz to put the wheels in motion.
This time I got a different person who, when he looked me up in his computer, says "you've already given us this form" (I guess it's magic). But, he says it's good that I have a second edition of the form because the process will require it after the inspector comes out. Ok, I'm used to the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing after nine months here. I left peacefully.
Since then I've been back several times to try to get this process wrapped up. Each time there is something new or different I need to do. But no one has ever asked for that second edition of the form even though I show it to them each time I go there because I'm thinking that as sure as I decide they will never take it, that will be the time they ask for it.

We've made some recent enhancements to the hub Home Page and the hub Join Page that will help administrators to further customize their hubs.
Every hub in MemberHub has a corresponding public-facing Join Page. This page is where prospective members can learn about the group and either join right from that page or request to join. These pages are especially useful if you take advantage of putting a Hub Listing widget on your organization's website. For example, you could list your small groups hubs at your church on your website. Visitors can then click on each group to learn more. The link will take them to the Join Page for that hub where the will see a description of the group, a member count and NOW a personalized group image!
We have a Knowledge Base article you can read to learn how to set up your Join Page(s).
While we were at it, we gave hub administrators the ability to upload an image to their hub's Home Page too. Hub administrators can simply click the blue Edit Homepage button at the bottom of the Home Page to upload an image. We heard this suggestions quite a bit, so enjoy!
Drop us a comment below and let us know what you think. Do not hesitate to contact us over on the Support Forum if you have any questions at all. We're here to serve!

June 2016 Plant Profile: Primula bulleyana
Primula bulleyana was discovered in China in 1906 by Scottish plant hunter George Forrest (1873-1932). It was named in honor of Mr. A. K. Bulley of Ness, Neston, Cheshire, (county in NW England) for whom [Forrest] collected.¹ He described his first sighting as follows: "Where marshy openings occurred, the turf was gaudy with the blooms of a multitude of herbaceous plants, [and] I saw miles, really, of Primula Bulleyana [sic] …"²
The UW Botanic Gardens has much smaller groupings displayed at the Pacific Connections Garden (in the China Entry Garden), but they still make a stunning impact. They are also peppered alongside the small, shaded creek in the Woodland Garden amongst Darmera and Skunk Cabbage.
Primula bulleyana is prized as a garden ornamental and has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. This primrose performs best in damp soils alongside streams or ponds and can take sun or shade. The grouping in the China Entry Garden is in soil with average moisture and full sun and they look particularly healthy, so it seems to be an plant that can adapt to various garden situations. The florets are also fairly tolerant of cold winter temperatures.
Botanic Name: Primula bulleyana
Family: Primulaceae
Common Name: Candelabra Primrose, Bulley's Primrose
Location: Woodland Garden, Pacific Connections Garden/China Entry Garden 110-08*A
Origin: Northwestern Yunnan and Southern Sichuan regions of China
Height and Spread: 20-24" tall, up to 12" wide at base. These primroses can spread easily from their seeds.
Bloom Time: Spring
Description: semi-evergreen, herbaceous plant, bearing 5-7 whorls of florets along the stem and lanceolate leaves with a lovely reddish petiole and mid-rib.
¹ Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh 4(19): 231–232, pl. 39A, 42. 1908.

The Department of Health in Northern Ireland has up to 180,000 for technology projects that promote and support better use of speech and language therapy services for people who have suffered strokes.
Up to 3 early-stage projects will be funded under the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI), with the best ideas going on to compete for further funding to undertake clinical trials.
Aim to improve rehabilitation
Projects should aim to use technology to increase use of speech and language therapy services and make these more effective and efficient.
They should help therapy services improve rehabilitation of stroke patients experiencing a number of difficulties including:
- aphasia, an impairment of language skills
- apraxia, a difficulty with motor skills required for production of speech
- dysphagia, where patients have swallowing difficulties
- dysarthria, which is difficult or unclear articulation of speech
Phase 1 projects will be expected to develop and design prototypes and plan and design clinical trials. Ideas could include:
- tailored patient assessments
- ways of encouraging patient participation including through motivating interfaces and involvement of family and friends
- remote working
- personalised smart programs that adapt to patient progress
- real-time patient feedback to therapy teams
Solutions should be small, portable and conform to relevant standards for medical devices.
Competition information
- the competition is open, and the deadline for tenders is at 3pm on 3 August 2018
- the competition is open to any organisation that can demonstrate a route to market for its idea
- we expect phase 1 contracts to be worth up to 60,000 and to last 6 months
- successful projects will attract 100% funded development contracts
- applications should be made through eTendersNI

"PCI Express isn't just about increased bandwidth. It also offers better power management, including native hot-plug support. And, although the physical interface is not backwards compatible, the driver architecture is. So PCI products can rapidly be moved over to PCI Express with little rewriting of software needed to make them work."

Talkback: The Console Wars
Designtechnica :: Friday, May 27, 2005
"All three gaming consoles have been disclosed at E3, the new Sony/Apple-like Xbox 360, the new Playstation 3, which looks like it was designed by Porsche, and the Nintendo Revolution, which rather looks like it was designed by, well, Sony.
The good news is all of the products look much better than those preceding them, and they should outperform their predecessors as well; however, there are massive differences between them. The Nintendo product is the lightweight in terms of performance, but it's expected to cost less than half of what the other two products cost, in a market that traditionally has not liked products over $200 very much. Unfortunately, it will also be the last to market and it will enter when the other two players should have vastly greater game support. That gives the Nintendo long odds for this race, which has been increasingly between Sony and Microsoft."

PimpRig Review // Sapphire Tech Toxic X700 Pro PCIe Video Card
PimpRig :: Friday, May 27, 2005
"One of the main benefits of this X700 Pro vs the vanilla one is that this one comes packaged with Sapphire's A.P.E. software. This is definitely the easiest out of the box overclocking software I have ever used… to a fault. Simply slide in the install CD and run the setup app and reboot. Done. Don't bother to look for any settings or fancy system tray setup. It won't be there. For the minimalists among you this little app will be extremely attractive but for control freaks like me that love bells, whistles, switches and options (for starters) this little app just won't sit well and you will most likely opt to use your preferred overclocking software instead."
Shuttle SB83G5C Media Center XPC @ t-break
t-break :: Friday, May 27, 2005
The two drive bays and the front panel are all concealed making the look consistent and elegant. The front also houses the VFD display which is a two line display with the top line showing icons of the currently used function and the bottom line showing text such as the time or the temperature of your XPC. We must say that the VFD display gels real well with the mirror finish giving it a somewhat Sony floating glass touch.
Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Review
Designtechnica :: Friday, May 27, 2005
"It's been a while since we've seen any innovation in the PDA scene, especially since Sony stopped selling their Clie line. With the PDA market seemingly shrinking and stagnating, Sharp has released a new versatile PDA that may change what the definition of a PDA is.
The Zaurus SL-C3000 is the latest in the line of Linux-based PDAs from Sharp. What distinguishes the Zaurus from other popular PDAs is the use of Linux as the core operating system. This allows the Zaurus to have a stable, tried and true operating system with a lot of flexibility and extensibility. In addition, Sharp packs the Zaurus SL-C3000 with the best of technologies to create a very unique product."

The Computex show in Taipei is always bringing some exciting new products and today AMDboard.com is revealing one of those The Iwill AMD dual-Opteron is based on the hugely attractive ZMAXdp barebone design with incredible specifications. The motherboard is dual-core ready (yes, that's potentially 4 AMD Opteron cores in a SFF!) which sports NVIDIA NFORCE4 SLI chipset for allowing 2 PCI Express x16 graphic cards to run simultaneously. To power such hungry puppy, Iwill has integrated no less than a 400W power supply unit (PSU) and that's undoubtedly a minimum.

Thermalright XP-90C Heatsink @ Viperlair
ViperLair :: Friday, May 27, 2005
"Three or four degrees difference over the Zalman cooler may not seem like much, but to an enthusiast that may mean the difference in a decent overclock and a great overclock. Naturally when compared to the stock cooler on the 3.4 there is no surprise in the huge temperature difference, but it does give a great example of how much more efficient the XP-90 is."
Ultra X-Connect 500W Power Supply @ GideonTech
GideonTech :: Saturday, May 21, 2005
"The Ultra X-Connect is rated at a beefy 500W, which should more than enough for most modern day machines. That's actually not the selling point of this model. Instead of the typical wires, the design is made to incorporate modular wires. Use what you need, remove what you don't."
OCZ PC3200 Gold Edition (BH5) DDR RAM @ PimpRig
PimpRig :: Saturday, May 21, 2005
"BH5… the Lich King. Any avid overclocker who is worth his salt and has been involved in the OC scene for a while has at least heard of the legendary Winbond BH5 RAM. This RAM was heralded for it's ability to keep low/tight timings (2-2-2-5 1T) at rediculous overclocked speeds (250+MHz) as long as you could feed it the juice it needed (3.5V+). BH5 is back from the dead! OCZ has arranged to have new BH5 chips made from old dies. The result is a lightning quick pair of 512MB sticks available for under $160!"
