ModRight ModMat Review
Posted 03 November 2012 - 12:15 AM
Today I am reviewing the ModRight ModMat thanks to FrozenCPU
First here is some Details about it...
1200mm x 600mm which is over 47" x 23
Anti-Static Wrist Strap Included (26" unstretched)
Grounding Wire Clip Included (26" unstretched)
Oversized Work Area Allows All Parts To Be Laid Out Safely Making Installation Easier.
Surface Safe For ALL COMPONENTS Including PCB Boards, RAM, VGA Cards, and Expansion Cards.
Non Scratch Surface Keeps High Finish Parts and Side Panels From Blemish (aka liquid cooling radiators, custom mod parts, and Window Panels)
Easy Transport Carrying Box w/ Handle
Fan Spacing Chart From 40mm to 140mm
Inch and Millimeter Rulers For Handy Measurements
Snaps for Anti-static Strap and Ground are Now Moved to the Top For More Work Space.
Heres some Pictures of the packaging
This is a anti-static mat/Workspace,(To me at-least) for your computer hardware Handling the need to keep your components safe outside of the box.
Its made of Rubber so straight off it will not conduct static, It comes with TWO snap in Grounding points that are so to say Stapled in but not with staples.
Also have included a Grounding strap with a Elastic wrist strap to attach to yourself to the mod-mat, also a alligator Clip from the mod-mat to the case.
The length of these cables alone are More then enough to do anything on the surface, including extra length if you have to grab something outside the area you are working on.
They even give you a nice little handle on the Box it comes in which seems durable as the package serves as a Case to the Mod-Mat and allows easy storage and carrying from place to place.
Now, as I said above, I did note that I said it was fine if they had a Miss Printed mod-mat and that it was fine to send it to me.
So as mine is misprinted, I can still tell its a 120mm/140mm fan ect. Because the corner of the fans lineup with the Center marker points in each circle for the fan holes.
This is just a nice handy thing to have on it just because if you have Smaller fans to larger fans, You can tell what each on is ESPECIALLY if you had them a long time and don't have it labeled.
Also handy if you want to make something that fits each fan, like lets say a Side panel Acrylic window? You can make sure you dont make a mistake, as well as not scratch the surface if you need to drill the holes but have no way of Marking where first.
What I found that was maybe more useful to Modders then just a regular system builder is the fact it came with Inch and Millimeter rulers on it, and they are DEAD ACCURATE.
Which is Necessary if you make a ruler on any product because if it is Slightly off it can ruin what you are making.
There are 20inches on the Right side area 0inches to 20inches from top to bottom and 80CM on the are 0cm middle left bottom to 80cm the right bottom.
(First one is Inches, Second is Millimeters)
Now just to show you how big the space is, that's 1200mm x 600mm which is over 47" x 23
Its a Incredible amount of room for a anti-static work space, Here just to show you, it can fit quite a amount of hardware on it, but Im going to show you what it can fit regarding the Boxes everything comes in for a more FILLING area.
Sadly my case is Pretty huge as it is a Haf-X so I'm not going to include it due to picture reasons.
I fit two GPU boxes, a PSU box, and a E-ATX Motherboard Box with the Mod-Mat and 2 120mm fans with some room to spare still.
Putting it away is as easy as rolling it back up and putting it right in the box. The handle makes it easy to carry around.
Honestly, for 40$ from FrozenCPU you cant go wrong as you will pay MORE for less or Less for the same price.
If you were to buy another Mat similar to this, you can also be paying 3x the cost or even more some places.
I've had a wonderful experience with this ModMat from ModRight and I hope to see more amazing products from them in the upcoming years.
I would just simply have to say this is a MUST BUY for ANYONE.
There's only one con and that would have to be...
-Preferably have the Grounding points Vertical instead of Horizontal to fit cases in that general area
Overall it has to get a 5/5
Since I also work on the Floor and stepped on it here and there, It was easy to clean off with just some wipes so if you get some TIM or something on it, will come off easily.
Please feel free to ask me something if you would like a Pic or Information regarding it in general.
Thanks for reading!
Oh so my buttox feels like its been man handled is on topic?

If I would have something close enough to the size of it, I would say its the same if not just a little thicker then the memory PCB.
And yea, I totally understand that rrplay, thats how I work on my stuff haha.
The measuring and just the size alone is overwhelming, and also can make a few nice things when reviewing other products which im sure you do as well =P
You get a background, measuring tools, and antistatic work space.
Oh so my buttox feels like its been man handled is on topic?
Posted 05 November 2012 - 02:16 AM
What do you think ? & Thanks again in advance.
Posted 05 November 2012 - 02:39 AM
Also no problem, I try to watch my reviews I do constantly, as it also looks good on me too =P.
I just dont have any of those tools around me or actually where they are in my house currently, but it is quite thin hence why you can roll it up easily as well.
Ill try to take a picture showing how thin it is sometime tonight to let you see for yourself compared to Memory.
But honestly, if I had anything Super sensitive to static, I would also test these as ive seen on another review that this did NOTHING to some super sensitive materials where they would admit 1 or 2 things getting messed up always out of a batch just because static is always flowing around so I mean honestly, this thing is good.
Theres not much to say because its simple, smart, cheap cost, effective, and thats all there is to say about it cause its just that darn good haha.
Watch this video at exactly 4minutes in, they take it to the extreme with the grounding.
Also I would just like to let you know incase as well, incase you SOMEHOW break your Straps you can buy replacements for 6$ for both together so you get that good Hearty snap back in and nice length of the grounding cables.
Oh so my buttox feels like its been man handled is on topic?
Posted 05 November 2012 - 02:57 AM
Edit: >> thanks for the pic that was quick Cody
Posted 05 November 2012 - 03:06 AM
Can always save you money down the road also just from Super sensitive products to static.
would make a nice gift to anyone you know for the holidays.
I would like to mention though that FrozenCPU.Com also ships internationally and has had great reviews and time on the shipping for those outside of the USA Reading.

Thanks for all the reference pics.
I wish they had included 200mm fan reference points - both NZXT specific and else.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 02:54 AM
Certainly an interesting thing... don't know how absolutely necessary it is, but it's always useful to have something protecting your goodies.
Thanks for all the reference pics.
I wish they had included 200mm fan reference points - both NZXT specific and else.
Well I assumed they didnt just because it has not become really a Standard for Case Modders or anything else of the sort, just because People still prefer 120/140mm fans regarding Radiators and what not.
Of course this is their 2nd revision of the ModMat I think as well so maybe in future revisions you would see it.

Jordi Flip-Flops, for Fun Summer Style
Filed under: Shoes
Flip-flops have gone way beyond being just beach and gym shower footwear to being an essential part of a summer wardrobe. And since most of love a new pair, but occasionally have to rein in the spending just a tad, Lindsay Phillips's versatile Jordi ($24) is a good choice because it can be accessorized with "snaps" ($12) that secure to the center front and can change the look to match your outfit or mood (see the gallery for just a few options). Jordi comes in six colors and sizes 6-11.

Weekend Forecast: Should you stay or should you go? Friday's full moon brings a make-it-or-break-it moment. Over the last six months, a professional or personal relationship has been evolving, and the day brings you to a critical crossroads. You can't hem and haw any longer: Are you ready to make this duo official, or is your gut telling you to fly solo? If you're leaning toward the latter, Sagittarius, stand by your truth-telling values and be up-front. Misleading this person (even if you're just trying to be nice) could mean dealing with high-drama fallout. You can see the pros and cons of this pairing, but you'll need to seal the deal, one way or the other. If you believe this connection runs deep, jump in with both feet. The good stuff starts rolling in once you've firmly made a commitment. Have you been wondering where your sexy went, Sag? Don't worry about where it wandered off to, 'cause it's back with a vengeance. Become reacquainted with your sizzling sensuality over the next two weeks, whether you don fishnets and garters in a burlesque class, head out to a salsa club in your stilettos or surprise your sweetie with a copy of the Kama Sutra. Meow! On Saturday, stand firm in your beliefs but know when to back off. Is this issue truly worth the fight? Driving your point home and insisting you are right could backfire, leaving you looking like a bully. Pick your battles. You've got a case of itchy feet on Sunday. Break out your overnight bag and follow your whims out of town for the NYE of a lifetime. If you're grounded at home base, get out among peeps from different cultures and provenances to quench your thirst for the unfamiliar.

"Feeling Sequimish"
Mark Couhig
Contact Mark at email@example.com
Mark Couhig has been a writer for more than 50 years.
His first experience with the written word arrived at a very early age when he was required to painstakingly hand-trace dotted lines in a notebook, a process that led first to a mastery of the straight, purely angular letters of the English alphabet. He soon turned his attention to the curved letters, exhibiting a full proficiency in that skill by the end of his seventh year.
Before another year had passed, Couhig had begun to cluster letters into meaningful compositions, an accomplishment for which he was awarded a coveted gold star, the first-ever public acknowledgement of his extraordinary aptitude with words.
In time he would take these words and strategically create further clusters, which he called "sentences."
Paragraphs soon followed.
In the third grade Couhig learned the skill of cursive writing, allowing him to greatly expand and accelerate his output.
Over the ensuing months and years Couhig's now-renown facility for dramatic narrative developed. He was able to work the delicate filigree of fiction — dramatic, purposeful action that engages the reader — to a degree that astonished Ms. Sweeney, his teacher and mentor. Of one of Couhig's early works, "Run, Tom, Run," she wrote, "I'm so proud of you."
As his facility with words grew, so too did his worldview, aided in part by his assiduous readings of "The Weekly Reader," which he continues to regard as a formative influence in his later, more mature works.
In the fifth grade, Couhig's repertoire and love of the written word translated to a sterling turn on the stage as Shepherd No. 3 in a new and dynamic dramatic reading of the Gospel According to Luke, a popular work of the time.
Approximately 50 years later Couhig moved to Sequim where he writes a blog.
It's that time of year when we look over our past failings, whine about them and vow to do better next year.
It's time for New Year's resolutions, or as I like to call them, preludes to failure. That's because no one can be perfect, of course. Not even me.
But every day, in every way, you can get better and better. Let's begin by making a simple promise to ourselves: next year, less whining, fewer vows.
Here's my plan for 2012.
1. Diet and Weight Loss: This year I will lose 20 pounds and toward that end I hereby resolve to make my appointment immediately with the liposuctionist.
2. Exercise More: in 2012 I firmly resolve I will exercise more often, and more vigorously, than in 2011. To aid in that effort, I stopped exercising altogether last July.
3. Help Others. This year, I fervently pray, dear Lord, that with the help of your grace I will give more freely to those in need. I even more fervently pray, dear Lord, that you will deliver your part in this bargain by way of that very special lottery ticket I've been asking for lo these many years.
4. Spend More Time with Family. This year I swear, dear wife, I will learn the name of my son-in-law and the up-to-the-minute number of my grandchildren.
5. Quit Drinking. After midnight Dec. 31, 2011, I won't drink any more alcoholic beverages. The punchline, if you actually require it: Of course, I won't drink any less, either.
6. Quit Smoking. Next year I will quit smoking, quit emitting gamma rays and quit bursting into spectacular displays of pyrotechnics.
7. Chill. I will reduce my stress levels by better understanding that stress is largely self-generated. If I can simply stop worrying about "eating," "having a roof over my head," and "paying for my car," I can relax and live out the rest of my greatly abbreviated life in peace.
8. Get Out of Debt. This year I promise to pay off my credit cards utilizing a whole new set of credit cards.
9. Learn Something New. I may investigate this whole interwebs thing. Sounds like it might grow into something big.
10. Get Organized. Speaking of which: Has anyone seen my stapler? It was here a minute ago.

The first JeffCo officer slain in the line of duty was in Arvada!
Clarence Bunch Fugate: Killed in the line of duty October 17, 1940 in Arvada, Colorado
Undersheriff Fugate went to Lee's Tavern in Arvada with intentions of arresting Jack Carleton, the bartender, who earlier in the evening shot a man in the bar for flirting with his wife. Fugate was accompanied by two deputy sheriffs, who stood by the doorway while the undersheriff entered the empty tavern and confronted Carleton. During a brief interview relating to the location of Carleton's gun, the suspect told Fugate that his gun was in the kitchen. Fugate searched the kitchen briefly, found no gun, and returned to the bar where Carleton was waiting. Without warning, Carleton opened fire on Fugate, killing the undersheriff. The two deputy sheriffs returned fire on Carleton, wounding him five times before taking him into custody. Carleton recovered from his wounds and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Taxes could be going up and government spending going down but what does it really mean to Utah residents and local businesses.
"It is concerning. I don't know how much is in my control," said Chief Operating Officer of Level 9 Sports Mitch Lamb.
As employees at Level 9 help customers shop, questions about the fiscal cliff linger in the mind of Lamb.
"I think there are a lot of unknowns out there. I think there's a lot of trepidation about what's going to happen and how it's going to affect all of us," said Lamb.
But according to Natalie Gochnour from the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, if we go over the cliff there is one thing that is for sure.
"It affects everyone in the country," said Gochnour.
She describes that there will be less federal money being spent in Utah and there will be less money in your paycheck.
"I think the right way to think of it is the fiscal cliff takes money that's currently in our economy and removes it," said Gochnour.
She tells ABC 4 a loss of federal money in Utah could be disastrous for the economy.
"This is a very serious issue," said Gochnour.
And a loss of money in your pocket wont help you or local businesses like level 9 sports.
"So, it could potentially affect what they have in disposable income to come and spend on skies and outfit the family to get up on the mountain and have a good time," said Lamb.
Now, it's a waiting game for a solution or to fall off the fiscal cliff.
"There are major ramifications if that happens for us on the business side," said Lamb.

Does Valentine's Day have any significance to you and if so why?
February 12, 2009
Max Atwell ( in De Soto) says...
Yes. It's just kind of a romantic day. Generally, the wife and I will go out to eat or some romantic thing.
Darlene Bedford ( in De Soto) says...
I guess it's just another day to have fun and give valentines to my kids and give them to my husband, too.
Diane Zwahlen ( in De Soto) says...
It's a very significant day for me to express to all those in my family I love them. When I was teaching, it was the happiest day of the year because we all want to get that extra hug.

On Monday, September 24, 2012, the Surgery Interest Group (SIG) hosted its ninth annual Festival of Surgery. A number of leading surgeons from Einstein's University Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center, addressed more than 100 first- and second-year medical students.
Dr. Robert Michler, professor and chair of both surgery and cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at Einstein and Montefiore, as well as surgeon-in-chief at Montefiore, opened the evening by describing some of the exciting opportunities in the field of surgery. He was joined by surgeons representing surgical specialties including bariatric, vascular, orthopedic, cardiothoracic, urologic, plastic and reconstructive, general and trauma surgery. SIG faculty advisors Dr. Joseph Shin, chief of the division of plastic and reconstructive surgery, and Dr. Peter Shamamian, chief of the division of general surgery, were among the professionals who shared specifics from their respective surgical disciplines.
Each year, the festival allows students to learn about the types of procedures each specialty performs and the variety of patients seen. Students also gain insight into the work-life balance of each specialty and the different paths one can take to enter each field from medical school via a multitude of residency and other training programs. Following the presentations, students have the opportunity to speak with the surgeons individually and to network with the professionals over dinner.
The Surgery Interest Group is a student-run organization with the mission of educating, informing and keeping students up-to-date about the world of surgery through lectures and interactive workshops with leading surgeons at Einstein and Montefiore. The group's events include a lecture series corresponding to different body regions covered during the first-year anatomy course, a panel discussion featuring women in surgery and a session on how to be competitive when applying to residency programs. Through an extensive shadowing program, the group also enables development of mentoring relationships and insight into the daily life of a surgeon.

By Robert S. Kutner, Esq.
In 2001 President Clinton signed the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001 (the "Federal ESA"). The Federal ESA recognizes the validity of agreements made electronically, namely, documents communicated via email, fax, text messages, instant messages, and similar methods. The Federal ESA has been hailed as a giant leap toward paperless transactions. In a sense, it marks an electronic revolution, just as the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 marked a political revolution. Many federal courts no longer accept filings on paper. Documents may only be filed electronically.
In 2004, Massachusetts enacted the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act, authorizing electronic transactions under state law, General Laws. Chapter 110G, Section 1 ("Massachusetts ESA"). Due to widespread use of real estate agreements transmitted electronically, it is crucial that REALTORS® understand the basic rules for electronic transactions.
Before the Federal ESA was enacted, there were three primary approaches under state law. Some states provided that any type of electronic signature was valid. Other states required some minimal form of security such as being able to tie the electronic signature to the signer or being able to ascertain that the message had not been altered. Still other states recognize as valid only "digital signatures," generally defined as signatures that are basedupon some form of encryption technology that requires a password or special software to lock or encrypt and a second password to open. No encryption technology is required under Massachusetts ESA or Federal ESA.
Even if consent has been obtained, both the Federal ESA and Massachusetts ESA permit a person to withdraw consent at any time. Each act also permits the parties to vary the provisions for electronic signature by agreement. If a signature made under oath is required to be notarized by law, the Massachusetts ESA provides that the notarization requirement is satisfied if the electronic signature of the notary is provided together with all other required information (date signed, presence of individual, personal knowledge of identity of signer or review of driver's license of signer, etc.)
Where state laws or Board of Registration regulations require documents relating to a transaction to be maintained for a specific period of time (for example, Massachusetts Mandatory Licensee-Consumer Relationship Disclosure, notifications regarding lead paint, receipt of Home Inspectors Facts For Consumers), an electronic record satisfies the requirement, according to Chapter 110G, Section 13.
Both state and federal law contains limitations and safeguards. Neither act applies to: the creation and execution of wills, codicils and trusts; to adoptions, divorces, or other matters of family law; to court orders or notices; to any notice of cancellation or termination of utility services or the default, repossession, acceleration, foreclosure, or eviction under a credit agreement secured by the primary residence of an individual or under a rental agreement for one's primary residence; or to termination of health or life insurance benefits; or to the recall of a product.
With knowledge of the requirements of state and federal law, electronic transactions may be handled seamlessly, completing the revolution.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." (Romans 8:35, 37) When I first learned I had multiple sclerosis (MS) I was teaching second graders. The relapse I was having made me lethargic. Too weak to teach. I knew I couldn't tell my students I would be absent because I was too tired. The challenge was explaining my illness in a way they could understand without scaring them. First, I involved them in a role-paying activity.

Was the Republican National Convention a Success for Mitt Romney? >
Romney's Performance Sounded Good, But Devil Is in the Details
The RNC's happy talk allowed speakers to skip over the ticket's less cheery policy plans
August 31, 2012
The Republican National Convention was long on happy talk and short of substance. The GOP presidential and vice presidential candidates told us what nice guys they are and that the country is headed in the wrong direction. What the candidates and their surrogates didn't tell us was where they wanted to take the country or how they would get us there.
The lack of substance at the GOP conclave was ironic because the Republicans used their giant media photo op to criticize President Barack Obama for being long on style and short of substance during his 2008 presidential campaign. The GOP claims that Obama was able to win the White House by using vague platitudes like "change" to cover up the specifics of his plan to bring European style socialism to America.
But that didn't stop the Republicans in Tampa from using vague platitudes to cover up their plans to hand over the United States to the Koch brothers and their banker and billionaire buddies. Now you can't accelerate the transfer of wealth to the financial big dogs unless you take the money from somebody else. The irony here is that the big dogs are driving to the U.S. Treasury with Mitt Romney in a cage on top of the roof of their armored car.
[See a Slideshow of the 11 Most Memorable Political Convention Speeches.]
You can hardly blame candidates Romney and Ryan for not talking about the devil in their details because their plan would scare the living daylights out of voters. The blueprint for their administration is in the budget that Paul Ryan wrote and Mitt Romney says he supports. The Romney/Ryan budget would let corporate canines like the Koch brothers avoid paying their fair share of taxes. But there's no free lunch for bankers and billionaires, so the GOP would make up the money by cutting back on free school lunches for poor kids, funding for healthcare for seniors, education loans to college kids, and prenatal care for pregnant women. Forget about all that, we can't afford them and find $4 billion a dollars in tax freebies for the oil companies.
The happy talk should give Romney a bounce which will last a week until the president gets his boost from the Democratic convention. Then we'll get down to the nitty gritty which will blow away all the happy talk and hot air that came out of Tampa.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Vigna Marenca boasts a center of bright red berries that is surprisingly supple and elegant. Sweet red cherries, freshly cut flowers, spices and mint take shape in the glass as the 2008 shows off a refined, high-toned register that is rarely found in this wine. The 2008 boasts..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tightly wound, delivering sweet spices, cherry and licorice up front, with firm tannins on the back end. There's a nice tension here, and the acidity pushes the length, but this needs time."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Barbaresco S. Stefanetto (from vines in Treiso) is a firm, yet generous wine endowed with notable purity and depth in its dark, sensual fruit. Truffles, worn-in leather, spices and menthol round out this harmonious, beautifully balanced Barbaresco. Though undeniably attractive today, the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Good saturated deep red. The most pristine of these Barolos to this point, offering aromas of black cherry, blackberry, licorice, mocha and menthol. Sweet, ripe black cherry fruit is complicated but not overwhelmed by a hint of leather, with sound acidity giving clarity and energy to the wine's..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Elio Altare is among the most important producers of the La Morra area of Barolo and this non-cru wine shows his talents. There are smoky notes of roasted hazelnut and chocolate that frame lively aromas of cassis and red currants. There's great depth and delicacy here and the wine boasts..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Beautiful raspberry, cherry and black currant flavors are backed by firm, dusty tannins in this harmonious, fresh red. Floral and tobacco notes add dimension as this cruises to a long, lingering finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cannubi sweeps across the palate with layers of dark red fruit, flowers, subtle French oak, mint, licorice and spices. This is an especially pliant, generous 2008 laced with expressive fruit and fabulous overall balance. The south-facing Cannubi yields a juicier more fruit-driven..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark-colored, structured, elegant 1998 Barolo Costa Grimaldi offers purity and harmony allied with power, density, and extract. While relatively seamless for such a young Einaudi Barolo, there is plenty of tannin underneath the glycerin and fruit. I suspect it is only a matter of time before..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a cool, inward wine. It boasts striking power and masses of fruit in an implosive style that will require many years to show at its best. The 2006 is all about sheer energy, power and muscle. Layers of fruit begin to flesh out on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barbaresco Montefico is another dazzling Barbaresco from Roagna. The Montefico is naturally deeper and richer than Asili. It shows tons of depth and intensity and sheer muscle in a virile style that is typical of this vineyard. Mint, flowers and crushed rocks wrap around a firm finish..

Then, after about 2 seconds, the "indentify" icon disappears. So I can't continue identifying.
I have to press back, then select the same file a second time, then the identify button is there and I can select it.
This happens every single time I want to identify a new file. I have to select it twice.
Small bug but I wonder if any other boxee user gets it?

Indian and Himalayan Art Teapot Adorned with Scenes of Rural Life Made in Bhowanipore, Calcutta (present-day Kolkata), West Bengal, India, Asiac. 1890-1900 Grish Chunder Dutt, Indian, active late 19th - early 20th century Silver with repousse work, ivory * Gallery 227, Asian Art, second floor (Wood Gallery) 2007-111-1 Gift of Joan K. Short, 2007 |
LabelFor most of the nineteenth century, silversmiths in Bengal catered to English tastes, producing wares with simple lines and minimal decoration. In the months leading up to the Calcutta International Exhibition of 1883, however, a community of artisans in Bhowanipore, an area of Calcutta (Kolkata), pioneered a new type of luxury silverware featuring detailed depictions of Bengali rural scenes and festival processions. This design shift may have been driven by a desire to fashion a more distinctively "Bengali" mode of silverware for the global market. Ironically, the images of rustic and city life on this teapot were largely inspired by paintings and photographs produced by British travelers to the region.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

ASU students definitely agree that football is the primary sport that's followed and talked about here. While ASU football doesn't always have a great season, followers are still faithful and full of spirit. Baseball and basketball can be pretty popular among students as well. The students who are into other sports here usually either participate or know someone on a team. There are also many opportunities for athletes who do not have the time or ability to participate in varsity sports. While intramural and club sports are not as popular as the varsity sports, there is still an impressive number of students who participate in them. There are classic sports like soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball, as well as specialty sports like martial arts and different forms of dance. The hip-hop coalition is widely known at ASU and provides an upbeat, fast, and fun atmosphere for both men and women that are into dancing. Of the many students at ASU and the great number of hot bodies here, it's obvious that a good number of them find something at this school to keep them in shape.
ASU pride and support are highly visible, as demonstrated by the often intimidating student turnout for football and basketball events in particular. The biggest, and most heated, game of the year is the football game between ASU and University of Arizona (U of A), played late in the season. Even when the teams meet in Tucson, home of the Wildcats, many students make the trip to show their support. The Sun Devil/Wildcat rivalry is the most storied in the state and among the most infamous in the region. If you love sports, there is surely a team at ASU that will fit your interest.

From the time Langley Township firefighters called in a report of a break and enter at near Willoughby firehall Sept. 19 to the time two men were arrested was 20 minutes.
The RCMP was called about the shed behind the firehall at 202nd Street and 72nd Avenue being broken into during the morning.
A captain advised that a male was seen leaving the shed with two boxes and entering a black Suburban. The vehicle fled eastbound on 72nd Avenue.
The police found the vehicle in the 21300 block of 64th Avenue.
The owner of the shed advised a welder and welding helmet worth nearly $1,000 had been taken. These two items were located in the Suburban, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.
The two occupants of the vehicle, males aged 36 and 46, both from Langley, were arrested have been released to appear in court Oct. 4 on charges of possession of stolen property and break and enter.
In this particular investigation, Im very happy to report, it was a mere 20 minutes from the initial report to arrests being made, commented Insp. Amrik Virk.

Abstract: Background: In low-resource settings, patients' use of multiple healthcare sources may complicate chronic care and clinical outcomes as antiretroviral therapy (ART) continues to expand. However, little is known regarding patterns, drivers and consequences of using multiple healthcare sources. We therefore investigated factors associated with patterns of plural healthcare usage among patients taking ART in diverse South African settings. Methods: A cross-sectional study of patients taking ART was conducted in two rural and two urban sub-districts, involving 13 accredited facilities and 1266 participants selected through systematic random sampling. Structured questionnaires were used in interviews, and participant's clinic records were reviewed. Data collected included household assets, healthcare access dimensions (availability, affordability and acceptability), healthcare utilization and pluralism, and laboratory-based outcomes. Multiple logistic regression models were fitted to identify predictors of healthcare pluralism and associations with treatment outcomes. Prior ethical approval and informed consent were obtained. Results: Nineteen percent of respondents reported use of additional healthcare providers over and above their regular ART visits in the prior month. A further 15% of respondents reported additional expenditure on self-care (e.g. special foods). Access to health insurance (Adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 6.15) and disability grants (aOR 1.35) increased plural healthcare use. However, plural healthcare users were more likely to borrow money to finance healthcare (aOR 2.68), and incur catastrophic levels of healthcare expenditure (27%) than non-plural users (7%). Quality of care factors, such as perceived disrespect by staff (aOR 2.07) and lack of privacy (aOR 1.50) increased plural healthcare utilization. Plural healthcare utilization was associated with rural residence (aOR 1.97). Healthcare pluralism was not associated with missed visits or biological outcomes. Conclusion: Increased plural healthcare utilization, inequitably distributed between rural and urban areas, is largely a function of higher socioeconomic status, better ability to finance healthcare and factors related to poor quality of care in ART clinics. Plural healthcare utilization may be an indication of patients' dissatisfaction with perceived quality of ART care provided. Healthcare expenditure of a catastrophic nature remained a persistent complication. Plural healthcare utilization did not appear to influence clinical outcomes. However, there were potential negative impacts on the livelihoods of patients and their households. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/547 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Background: The size of the elderly population both in numbers and proportions of the whole world is increasing rapidly. The increase in the number of elderly people in the world will exert a big impact on health and social services. It is established that physical activity is one way of limiting age related disabilities. Objectives: This study aims to asses the levels of physical activity and the factors associated with it among older adults in selected institutions for the elderly in the Southern Province of Rwanda. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at 2 institutions for older adults in Rwanda. An interview questionnaire with close-ended questions was used to collect data. Results: More than one-third of the study sample was categorized as sedentary. Physical activity levels decrease with age. Females reported higher prevalence of physical activity than males. Conclusion: Older adults should be encouraged to engage in physical activity to gain the physical and mental health benefits associated with it.

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to assess factors contributing to poor performance of Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) in Mopani district of Limpopo Province, South Africa. An exploratory qualitative approach was used to investigate the factors that contribute to poor performance of the DOTS Strategy. Four focus group discussions were conducted, two with Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) Supporters and two with patients on treatment for more than 6 months. The focus groups (4) discussions were tape-recorded. Data collected were descriptively analyzed using thematic methods. The patients generally found supervision of TB treatment helpful as they were motivated and encouraged to continue treatment. Some of the aspects identified as being unhelpful were the inconvenient times for treatment support and stigma due TB supporters' visit to patients home. Patients often preferred family members as supporters, whereas health workers favoured trained volunteers as DOT supporters. Other factors affecting DOTS were poverty, food shortage, cultural beliefs, and side-effects of the medication. Patients receiving disability grants prefer to remain uncured so as to continue receiving the grant. Behavioural factors seem to play a major role in noncompliance with TB treatment. The findings of the study support the importance of initial counseling and motivation of patients in improving adherence in the programme. Self-motivation was mentioned rather than the motivation from the DOT supporters. Further exploration of alternative DOTS supporters other than trained volunteer demands further investigation.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Although the health benefits of physical activity have been proven, many children and adolescents still do not meet the recommended guidelines for sufficient physical activity. The purpose of this investigation was thus to examine the levels of PA, and learners perception of support from teachers, family and friends at an independent school in the Western Cape. Furthermore, the investigation aimed to examine the influence of social support on physical activity. METHOD: A cross-sectional design using quantitative methods was used in this study, which included 100 learners in the senior phase of the school (i.e. grades 5 to 7). The data was obtained with a self-admininstered questionnaire. The data was analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. The Chi-square test was used to explore associations between nominal and numerical data. The T-test was used to determine statistical significance between groups (independent t-tests) and within groups (paired sample t-test). RESULTS: Overall the sample responded positively when asked about support for physical activity from teachers. Furthermore, the study sample had a positive perception of both physical education (PE) and physical activity (PA) enjoyment. Boys participated in vigorous physical activity significantly more regularly than girls. CONCLUSION: As children are spending a considerable time at school, teachers, friends and parents should be encouraged to be supportive of their participation in physical activity.

Abstract: In the wake of the mineral revolution, and the Cape Colony's attainment of responsible government, Cape Town's population doubled in the nineteenth century's latter years. Its largely British ruling class, seeing opportunities for wealth and a greater significance in empire and world, sought to construct a social order conducive to those goals. Faced with increasing ethnic heterogeneity, gender imbalance due to the numbers of male immigrants, and frustration in combating the endemic poverty and slums, city fathers and their closest colleagues – doctors, clergy – perceived the way forward in terms not of extending rights but of moral reform. This article carries the ongoing investigation of family life and law in Cape Town through the Victorian period. It examines legal enactments and social developments where they impacted on marriage, divorce, concubinage and related matters, with particular reference to the welfare of children and those born out of wedlock.

Abstract: The treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) and circumneutral mine water (CMW) with South African coal fly ash (FA) provides a low cost and alternative technique for treating mine wastes waters. The sulphate concentration in AMD can be reduced significantly when AMD was treated with the FA to pH 9. On the other hand an insignificant amount of sulphate was removed when CMW (containing a very low concentration of Fe and Al) was treated using FA to pH 9. The levels of Fe and Al, and the final solution pH in the AMD–fly ash mixture played a significant role on the level of sulphate removal in contrast to CMW–fly ash mixtures. In this study, a modelling approach using PHREEQC geochemical modelling software was combined with AMD–fly ash and/or CMW–fly ash neutralization experiments in order to predict the mineral phases involved in sulphate removal. The effects of solution pH and Fe and Al concentration in mine water on sulphate were also investigated. The results obtained showed that sulphate, Fe, Al, Mg and Mn removal from AMD and/or CMW with fly ash is a function of solution pH. The presence of Fe and Al in AMD exhibited buffering characteristic leading to more lime leaching from FA into mine water, hence increasing the concentration of Ca2+. This resulted in increased removal of sulphate as CaSO4·2H2O. In addition the sulphate removal was enhanced through the precipitation as Fe and Al oxyhydroxysulphates (as shown by geochemical modelling) in AMD–fly ash system. The low concentration of Fe and Al in CMW resulted in sulphate removal depending mainly on CaSO4·2H2O. The results of this study would have implications on the design of treatment methods relevant for different mine waters. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/763 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: BACKGROUND: In South Africa, former apartheid laws encouraged rural males seeking employment to migrate to urban areas, moving weekly, monthly or annually between their rural families and urban workplaces. The combination of the migrant labour system and long family separations caused an explosion of serious health consequences, among others sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the migrant population. OBJECTIVE: To describe some correlates of male migration patterns for the rural women left behind, especially the fear of STIs that this engendered in them and their risk-avoidance behaviour. Setting and subjects. In KwaZulu-Natal, 208 prenatal patients who were partners of oscillating male migrant workers were interviewed to determine their demographic and behavioural characteristics, and their fear of STIs. RESULTS: Thirty-six per cent of the rural women said that they were afraid of contracting STIs from their returning migrant partners. Women who saw their partners infrequently were more fearful of STI transmission, and were less able to have sexual communication. However, almost none of the women protected themselves, while only 8% used condoms, primarily for contraceptive purposes. CONCLUSIONS: These results reflect the gender-based power relationships of South African male migrants and their rural partners, the social and economic dependency of the women on their migrant partners, and the women's social responsibility to bear children. The results point to the need to go beyond interventions that simply seek to modify behaviour without altering the forces that promote risk taking and discourage risk reduction, and the need to develop appropriate interventions to curb STIs and decrease HIV.

Abstract: This article focuses on educational research conducted at the newly merged UWC faculty of dentistry. The research emphasises the change in teaching methods employed to address the concerns experienced in teaching the new large classes as observed in the prosthetic techniques module. These educational interventions were conducted over 5 years and the study design included the principles of action research. Students were assisted in learning the theory of the practical procedures and the subsequent completion of these procedures with the accurate application of the theoretical concepts. Changes in the teaching methods enhanced students learning and successful translation of the theory into practical work. The active learning exercises incorporated into the teaching further motivated and assisted students with deep learning. The debates indicated that students know and accept the value of the module as part of their training. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/224 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The history of federalism in Africa is a history of ambivalence. In the run up to independence, federalism was an idea that galvanized several political movements that, following the retreat of colonial powers, emerged to represent the interest of ethnic groups that were anxious about their political status in post colonial Africa. But it was also an idea that was subsequently rejected by those that wield state power and thrown into historical dustbins. Recent developments indicate that the federal idea that was never given a chance to develop and was being strangled at birth is now re-entering the constitutional scene of several African countries. This short article examines how African federations have responded to the ethnic diversity that characterizes their societies. In particular, it examines how the territorial autonomy solution, implicit in these federations, have helped to deal with the challenges of ethnic diversity.

Abstract: The feeding biology and the vertical migration of Sagitta friderici were examined over 24 h at two stations in the southern Benguela during spring (October) 1987. Together with studies conducted during summer (February 1991) and winter (May 1984), they serve to allow valuable generalizations of the biology and ecology of this abundant chaetognath. Populations migrate vertically and feed nocturnally, although the timing and the extent of migration vary between studies. S.friderici exhibits ontogenetic layering and the cross-shelf distribution of maturity stages differs, suggesting that it is able to take advantage of cross-shelf water movement in order to maintain populations in the nearshore waters of the West Coast. S.friderici prey almost exclusively on copepodg (cannibalism is rare), and there is a positive relationship between the lengths of predator and prey that is influenced by the size structure of the prey environment. This casts doubt on the validity of a chaetognath species-specific relationship between predator and prey size. S. friderici selects its prey on the basis of size, and not species. Daily ration is related linearly to prey density, so reflecting the low density of prey and providing support for theoretical predictions regarding ingestion rates under oceanic conditions. The impact of S. friderici predation on the copepod assemblage is generally less than 3% of the standing stock, although it could be much higher under conditions of low copepod biomass and poor secondary production.

Abstract: This paper shows that mobility management protocols for infrastructure Internet may be used in a wireless mesh network environment. Mesh topology tends to be an unplanned graph and routes change dynamically and in this research Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 are successfully implemented in a wireless mesh network environment. Horizontal handover simulation with ns2 involved Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 applied to wireless mesh networks. Mobile IPv6 was used as a baseline to compare the performance of the two protocols. The results show that in mesh networks, Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6's performance is superior to Mobile IPv6. Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 generates more throughput and less delay than Mobile IPv6. Furthermore, Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 drops fewer data packets than Mobile IPv6. Even though MIPv6 and its extensions are for infrastructure networks, they can be used effectively in mesh networks. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/424 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This contribution focuses on two matters pertinent to the office of trustee. First, the fiduciary nature of the office of trustee is investigated, with particular reference to the essence of a trustee's fiduciary duty. Secondly, the protection afforded by a trustee's fiduciary office to trust beneficiaries, particularly contingent beneficiaries, is examined. It is shown that the protection enjoyed by contingent trust beneficiaries is frequently ascribed to their "vested interests in the proper administration of a trust" (which, it is submitted, means that each contingent trust beneficiary enjoys a personal right against the trust's trustee for proper trust administration as counterpart to such trustee's fiduciary duty). The question is then posed whether, as some commentators contend, such an interest in or right to proper trust administration allows extending a direct action, through the actio legis Aquiliae, to contingent trust beneficiaries for claiming delictual damages from an errant trustee in breach of trust.

Abstract: There is increasing awareness in the health sciences of the potential of qualitative research to address questions that quantitative research cannot satisfactorily answer. While a growing number of studies in health sciences and health sciences education discuss the value of such research or describe the methodology and data collection processes, few detail how analysis was carried out. Reliability and validity of findings from qualitative research depend on the quality of data management, retrieval, and interpretation or identification of meaning. The robustness of data analysis is therefore an important factor in the rigor of qualitative research. This article uses a study of dental students' conceptual learning to illustrate strategies that ensure rigor in qualitative analysis. Factors that informed the decisions regarding analysis are discussed in detail. The use of both grounded theory and literature is discussed. The role that deductive and inductive reasoning played in the analysis is outlined. A brief section illustrates the kinds of conclusions that can be made about conceptual learning when qualitative data are rigorously analyzed. Finally, potential shortcomings in the study and alternatives or additional mechanisms for ensuring validity and reliability of analysis are discussed.

Abstract: Samples corresponding to Sporolithon ptychoides Heydrich were collected in the mesophotic zone (50 m depth) south of Espírito Santo State, Brazil. The collected material presented features characteristic of the species namely: tetrasporangia of 75-105 x 40-55 μm grouped into sori that are raised above the surrounding vegetative thallus surface; presence of a basal layer of elongate cells in areas where the tetrasporangia develop; presence of buried tetrasporangial compartments deep in the thallus; and 3-5 cells in the tetrasporangial paraphyses. These same features said to collectively characterise S. ptychoides, were all observed in a representative specimen and the type specimen of Sporolithon dimotum (Foslie & Howe) Yamaguishi-Tomita ex M.J Wynne. 2 This latter species is thus conspecific with S. ptychoides and is therefore considered a heterotypic synonym thereof as S. ptychoides has nomenclatural priority. This study expands the known geographical distribution of the species and may give insight into the origin of the species into other geographical regions.

Abstract: If X, which follows a power-law distribution, is observed subject to Gaussian measurement error e, thenX+e is distributed as the convolution of the power-lawand Gaussian distributions. Maximum-likelihood estimation of the parameters of the two distributions is considered. Large-sample formulae are given for the covariance matrix of the estimated parameters, and implementation of a small-sample method (the jackknife) is also described. Other topics dealt with are tests for goodness of fit of the posited distribution, and tests whether special cases (no measurement errors or an infinite upper limit to the power-law distribution) may be preferred. The application of the methodology is illustrated by fitting convolved distributions to masses of giant molecular clouds in M33 and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and to HI cloud masses in the LMC.

Abstract: It is assumed that K blocks (e.g. seasons) of observations are available, and the parameters characterizing a fixed-frequency sinusoidal variability (mean light level, amplitude, phase) are constant within each of the blocks. The paper is concerned with estimation when any combination of these parameters varies between blocks of observations. This allows observations subject to changes in mean light level, spot sizes and/or spot locations to be modelled. Objective choices between competing models, and the calculation of the standard errors of model parameters, are also dealt with. Illustrative applications to simulated and real data are given.

Abstract: We have built a hybrid voice/text web–board that utilizes floor control for handling resources such as microphone and interface events. The aim of this research is to determine the most appropriate floor control mechanism for a hybrid communication tool that allows conventional text and audio users to communicate with one another using a common interface. Research on floor control mechanisms provides many implementations for arbitration that are application-specific. Myers proposes a categorical explanation of the most widely used mechanisms for providing floor control and discusses these different dimensions with respect to a project called Pebbles. We have chosen to model our arbitration policies along these categories. The application will be implemented as a Java applet and gives users a view of both the text and audio aspects of the exchange. To facilitate the multi-modality of the system we will provide media conversion, using the Nuance system's Java API. Our hypothesis is that well–known multi-tasking arbitration protocols such as FCFS, Round Robin, Token – based, and many more can be adapted to create a conferencing floor control policy for the interface of a hybrid communication environment so as to facilitate free–flowing multi-modal conversation. Measurements to determine which floor control implementation provides the best arbitration in terms of user interaction with the system will be calculated using RPT, ORT and usage tests based on the Kirkpatrick Model. We hope to show that users benefit more from an implicit arbitration mechanism than they do from an explicit one. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/538 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article, an expanded version of a 2008 public lecture, explores the life and times of Adolph Gysbert ʻSailor' Malan, a South African who rose to prominence as a combatant in the 1940 Battle of Britain and who, after his post-war return to the Union, became a notable personality in liberal reform politics. A classic Anglo-Afrikaner empire loyalist or ʻKing's Afrikaner', Malan became ʻSailor' through his interwar merchant marine service, joining the Royal Air Force in the later 1930s. An exceptional fighter pilot, his wartime role as an RAF ace in defending Britain turned him into a national hero, a migrating loyal Springbok who had sprung selflessly to the defence of Great Britain. Subsequently, as an ex-serviceman, Malan drew on his wartime sensibilities and beliefs to return to political battle in his home country, in opposition to post-1948 Afrikaner nationalism and its apartheid policies. The mini-biography of Sailor Malan analyses several key life-story elements, including his seafaring apprenticeship, British wartime identity and combat experience, and troubled relationship with post- 1945 South Africa as a gradualist liberal.
