Look out, Flash! Phase-change RAM IS HERE ... in Nokia mobiles
Micron is shipping phase-change memory to Nokia for use in its Asha smartphones. Phase-change memory (PCM) stores each binary bit using the electrical resistance of a chalcogenide chemical: when the material is an amorphous blob, its resistance is high and it represents a 0; in its poly-crystalline state, its resistance is low …
I imagine they're testing it in cheaper handsets first before moving it onto the bigger smartphones.
It shows Nokia are still cutting edge, wireless charging, super sensitive screens, optical stabilised camera lenses and now this.
So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech.
When was that, again? As far as I can recall they've never pushed out new tech, but they have had a history of success refining existing tech at a premium price...
> It shows Nokia are still cutting edge, ... and now this.
You may not have noticed but the PCM was developed and manufactured by Micron. It just happens that Nokia pushed this out first.
> optical stabilised camera lenses
It isn't really 'optically stabilised'. This is normally used to mean a real stabilising system such as actively shifting a lens or the sensor based on a feedback mechanism. All the 920 does is mount it on springs. In real tests (unlike the faked ones that Nokia fed us) it is not so great. A comparison with the ancient N8 shows that it is slightly worse overall:
Yes, but what use is the hardware
...when you only have locked down operating systems on it?
actually it is great stabilization....and Nokia is innovative
There are videos about stabilization tests:
It appears the mechanical stabilization of the Nokia 920 is better than the iPhone's digital stabilization:
Nokia was and continues to be innovative by deploying cutting edge technologies...other phones are more about hype. A few examples
. tessar lens (already in the N95 in 2007)
. first to deploy GPS in the N95, well before the iPhone
. inductive charging of Luminas
. NFC - a Nokia technology
. the capacitive touchscreen on the 920 also has the ability to be used by gloves, the first smartphone to do so
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech. (@Zaphod.Beeblebrox)
There's really no ground on which you can give Nokia more credit for being amongst the first to ship a new kind of solid state storage that they've started buying in than you can give Apple for being amongst the first to ship capacitive multitouch based on the technology of an entire company they've bought and then funded for a few years.
Let's hear it for Micron and FingerWorks.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Re: actually it is great stabilization....and Nokia is innovative
> It appears the mechanical stabilization of the Nokia 920 is better than the iPhone's digital stabilization:
Neither are stable. It may be that the 920 is worse than iPhone, but the Nokia shows that it is just springs because there are times when the phones are held steady, as shown by the iPhone steadying, and the Nokia bobbles around a bit. Compared to an actual stabilisation system (such as optical) rather than spring mounting these are both poor.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech. (@ThomH)
Wasn't giving Nokia props, just challenging those given to Apple since they don't deserve it, in my opinion, for pushing out new tech. Nothing wrong with what they do - taking existing tech, refining it, and selling it on at a premium price (and making wads of cash in the process). In fact, I applaud them for it. Just don't try to make it sound like theyare doing *new* tech.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech.
"they have had a history of success refining existing tech"
Suppose you are right, I can see Apple Sanding Corners on rectangular objects and they did dump their own OS in favor of using an open source alternative as the backend
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech. (@Zaphod.Beeblebrox)
Actually its the incorporation of tech which could also be innovative.
The poster is correct. And Nokia has a long lineage in being inventive. Where they've failed is in getting the products to market.
No one is saying that Nokia is perfect, however you need to give them credit where credit is due.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech. (@Ian Michael Gumby)
Innovative <> new
Innovative can be new, but does not necessarily imply new. And in Apple's case, it is not.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech. (@Ian Michael Gumby)
> Innovative <> new
Innovate -> in (into) + nova (from Latin novus (new)) + tive (adjective)
At its very core it is and means 'new'.
Re: So much for the days of Apple pushing out new tech. (@Ian Michael Gumby)
Well then, I retract my statement, and reiterate what I originally said - Apple does not innovate, they refine existing tech and sell it at a premium price.
No, not testing in cheaper ones. It's a replacement for NOR flash at the moment, and is not yet available in large enough sizes for smartphones.
This was the case when the S40 PCM plans were made and AFAIK this is still the case.
Speed comparison
Not fair to take NAND block erase into account when looking at speed, block erases and wearleveling are normally done when the chip is idle (background garbage collection), you only notice this in benchmarks that completely fill the device....
Re: Speed comparison
The flash controller doesn't have a clue of what is garbage and what isn't unless it's either filesystem-aware or you're using some form of TRIM-like operation. Neither of those should be taken for granted.
Re: Speed comparison
Thanks for being clue-less and thumbing down... and do read up on wear leveling. It's the controller that is doing the wear leveling and as such knows when a block is dirty (all blocks inside a sector have been copied out and no longer in use) and needs erasing.
TRIM is merely the OS saying which blocks that hold data can be erased in advance since the data isn't needed anymore. So that it can erase more sectors and make things even faster.
You could have argued that the controller doesn't know *when* to do garbage collection, which is why it will likely interfere with operations, certainly when the drive becomes full or is written to a lot and constantly (ie benchmarks)
Re: Speed comparison
"Not fair to take NAND block erase into account when looking at speed, block erases and wearleveling are normally done when the chip is idle (background garbage collection), "
You really don't want this in a mobile device if there's an alternative. I spent a considerable amount of time working on power management for smart phones in a previous incarnation and the first rule is that if something isn't doing something useful (and having a NAND driver chip faffing around doing housekeeping to compensate for the failings of the underlying technology when there's an alternative which doen't need it definitely comes into the "not useful" category for my money) it gets put into a low power standby mode (or ideally powered down completely) as soon as possible. I'm seeing a definite battery life win just from this here, and that makes this interesting in itself.
You'd be amazed at how much effort goes into minimising the amount of time hardware (up to and including the processor core(s)) spends powered up and idle. Or given the difference in battery life between the Symbian OS devices I worked on and their Android/IOS equivalents maybe you wouldn't... :-(
That's not a Nokia phone.
It's from Apple. Only Apple innovates. And not only does Apple innovate, Apple already wrote up a patent application for it.
Re: That's not a Nokia phone.
Apple patented using chips built by a vertically non-integrated supply chain? Curse them!!
You've won this time, Cupertino, but we shall meet again!
Re: That's not a Nokia phone.
I'm sure I read that the USPTO have granted Apple™ a patent™ on the word innovate™
...you'd better lawyer up sharpish
I smell Apple's lawyers..
I wonder what bullshit they will use to sue this time?
I can't wait...
...until this stuff obliterates the spinning rust crap. What d'yall reckon? A few years? Methinks Samsung knew exactly what they were doing when they hacked off their successful spinning rust arm.
Ah those are the Nokia phones that are still selling in any appreciable numbers, unlike the other range. What were they called again?

Green semiconductor advice goes beyond the chip
The semiconductor industry is poised to make major contributions to global energy efficiency, according to NXP Semiconductors chief technology officer René Penning de Vries speaking at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). The need for energy efficiency is twofold, according to Penning de Vries speaking at …
CFL longlife is an industry myth
For a good long while I have flirted with using CFLs to replace my older style lamps and I have to say that I am pretty underwhelmed regarding the long life claims.
Most of the standard supermarket CFLs I have bought have a far shorter life than their tungsten counterparts.
Symptoms of failure are typically chosen from the following list:
- output "strange" spectrum blue light that makes you feel really ill after a while
- just refuses to come on
- whistles
Oh, and the other thing is that they are typically slightly bigger than tungsten lamps and are therefore useless for close fitting enclosed bathroom enclosures.
Oh and another thing while I'm at it - they take so long to "warm-up" that they are useless for garages, cupboards and stairs.
Oh and they are more expensive.
Is there any reason why people are NOT flocking to buy them?
Could someone please explain
how digital meters will have any effect on power use?
I personally own 2 LED light bulbs. I use one as a desk lamp, and I can't think of a use for the other. They are exceedingly dim and annoyingly blue. I suppose I'll use the second to replace the first after its 50,000 hours are up (ten years from now or so)
The Bulb Delusion
The first two comments are surprising to me. I have been using CFLs for too many years to remember. Nearly all the first generation (phillips globe) are still working perfectly. They were expensive (£6), slow to get to full power, but had a warm colour.
Which would suggest, your correspondents did not use these or had an electricity supply or use that destroyed them.
Subsequent CfL of the 'rod' variety were very much cheaper - 49p seems to be the norm nowadays. Some are good, some from cheap factories are blue and dodgy. Could this be what your correspondents are judging from? As for size, the normal inexpensive CfL is a little larger. But I have never had a problem getting a compact version of that would fit in the space of the old 60w. Yes, these are more expensive (~£2) but still are much cheaper than 60w when consumption is taken in.
Sorry, these people are either rather thick, or deciding (like that NI minister yesterday) that their agenda is more important than fact.
But then 19% of the UK population believe the earth goes round the sun once a month so I guess alllowances must be made ....
Don't buy cheap CFLs
I have had one melt down (burning plastic time) and another go s/c taking out the main house breaker. This from a reputable housewares and furniture company (1). The older more expensive (Phillips again) are still working fine. I don't fancy risking a house fire with cheap ones, and they don't last as long either.
Buy cheap, get cheap.
PS: Why no standard fitting for the tube to the starter/main body of the device? Very green to throw it out if only one part is borked (bork, bork, bork #1).
Yeah got a few kicking about the house now, they do take a little while to warm up but are fine after that and are brighter than the bulbs they replaced, also do remember
60w for the old bulb, 11w for the new one.. Work it out
Cost of bulb + cost to power it over it's a timespan (approx what 3,000hrs)
say 60w bulb at say 50p ..
3,000 x 0.06 Kw = 180 Kwh of power required for this 1 bulb.. what's power these days 9p/Kwh something odd.. -> £16.20 + 0.50 for the bulb - £16.70
Now for the CFL - cost £1.80 say (it's a phillips one) so that's
3,000 x0.011 Kw => 33Kwh of power at 9p/Kwh = £2.97 + £1.80 => £4.77
So even if it only lasts 3,000 hrs dues to lots of spikes / blips / repeated on/off which kills many things quicker, your still saving..
So I'll stop there, yes it's a pain you can't use them in certain fittings but it doesn't say you can't, it just says that it will reduce it's lifespan.
Now if they could get them to work with a dimmer switch I'd be loving it as 5 x 9 w much better that 5 x 40w.

As we mentioned yesterday, Grazia Daily was lucky enough to meet Ellie Goulding at The Mayfair Hotel on Thursday. In Ellie's ridiculously glossy suite, we chatted about how she ended up on the Burberry FROW and why she wants Barbie pink hair before being serenaded by her dreamy tunes at Vodaphone's London Fashion Weekend. But what does the lovely popstrel have to say about her personal style moments – from wearing Vivienne Westwood at the Brits to letting it all er, hang out on stage? And so today, dear readers, we bring you Ellie, The Fashion Jury...
'This is my weird festival get-up when I was going through my boy phase. The trousers are Urban Outfitters and the Nike T-shirt is about 100 years old. The skull necklace is by Jade Jagger – I love her jewellery. The hat was left in my dressing room so I decided to put it on. After that, all these girls came to my shows wearing them so there were all these ears popping up!'
'I like having colourful hair because of the whole Barbie thing. This is my favourite belt in the world, it's by Alice Temperley and I'd wear it everyday if I could. These are my little cloggies from River Island and the dress is Mulberry. They sent it to me and I really liked it.'
'This was me dressed appropriately for the Burlesque premiere in House of Holland tights, Kurt Geigers and a D&G suit with a bowtie. I'd wear a suit and tie everyday but I think certain people wouldn't agree...'
'I love this actually. My bum was popping out slightly so I didn't turn around. I think the shorts are Antipodium – I saw them and fell in love. The top is from Topshop. I would wear skirts on stage but I need something sturdy to put my [mic] pack onto and I jump around so it can easily fall off. Although at Glastonbury, I turned around and my bum was actually out!'
'This is my favourite. I'm wearing Vivienne Westwood from the archives so it's quite random. It fell on my body quite well and I'm wearing my vintage Chanel necklace and those Louboutins are the best I've ever seen in my life - I had to wear them.'
This is me at the Burberry show, just vibing in one of their amazing trench coats with gold studs. I saw it and completely fell in love. I didn't get to keep it but it's one of those things that's reserved for a very special occasion.

Personal & Work Retreatants: Please inform us in advance of your time of arrival and whether you are coming here for the first time.
What does the price of the retreat cover?
Gaia House is a non-profit organisation and the Standard Retreat Rate reflects just the basic costs of providing the facilities, managing and maintaining the centre. About Retreat Rates
In the Buddhist tradition of Dana or generosity, all teachings at Gaia House are offered freely. Teachers are not paid for their time and energy, so at the end of your retreat you will be given the opportunity to offer financial support to the teachers who have guided your retreat or practice. Before you come on retreat please read About Dana.
Can I come for just part of a retreat?
Can I stay extra days, before or after my Group Retreat?
- If you are new to silent meditation retreats it is essential to attend the introductory talks before beginning the retreat.
- Please arrive in time for registration on the first day of your Group Retreat.
- We regret it is not possible for first time visitors to book extra days before a retreat.
- It is possible to book an extra day of silent retreat after your Group Retreat has ended.
Experienced Retreatants:
- If you have stayed at least 5 nights on silent meditation retreat before, (at Gaia House or similar retreat elsewhere), it is possible for you to arrive a day early for your Group Retreat, as well as stay an extra night afterwards.
- If you would like to arrive more than a day in advance, or leave later than one day after the Group Retreat has ended, please check in advance with Reception whether room is available.
- Please apply for more than two extra retreat days in the same way as a Personal Retreat, by submitting a Personal Retreat Application Form.
Select extra retreat days as options in the drop down menu when booking on-line – or book by phone.
If arriving early or leaving late, please respect the routine of the House and those engaged in long-term silent retreats, by treating the opportunity as additional silent retreat time, and observing the House Guidelines.
Please pay the Personal Retreat daily rate for any additional time you spend here.

What I should wear and what should I bring with me?
If you do forget any outdoor clothing, we have a range of old, communal boots, coats and umbrellas available.
What should I bring with me? Please bring your own towel – we do not have a large supply here. Toiletries: unscented, please. Remember to bring any food supplements or medication you regularly take – enough for the length of your stay.
Please bring a watch or clock (which is not your mobile phone). Although there are bells to wake you up and mark activities during the day, having your own watch or clock supports you in turning your mobile phone off.
We have a very small shop containing a small selection of toiletries and first aid supplies, should you run out of these.
All bed linen is provided. Meditation mats, blankets, cushions and benches are also provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
What work will I be asked to contribute?
Please wash up and put away your own mug between meal times – Thank you!
You are also asked to clean your own room on the day of departure. Gaia House relies on this offering of service to help keep costs down. We are very grateful for your co-operation in this!
If you are unable to do a work session, or can offer only light work, it is important that you let Reception know of your situation when booking.
Are there opportunities or space for other activities?
Please refrain from other activities such as playing musical instruments, art and craft work, juggling, acrobatics etc. anywhere on the premises or grounds of Gaia House.
In the spirit of simplicity and silence, Group Retreatants are asked to refrain from reading and writing during your stay here.
Personal Retreatants may read to support your retreat, however you are encouraged to do so with moderation, and only in the library or your bedroom.
Can I go out while I am on retreat?
Are there any meditation groups near where I live?
If you run a meditation group and your details are not featured, please let us know so we can add you to this list. Please keep us informed of any changes, so that we can keep this list up to date.

I'm the administrator at Rustic Crafts and Chic Décor. The site is full of craft projects and decorating ideas in a rustic or shabby chic theme.
When I became a stay at home mom, almost 23 years ago, I took up crafting and decorating with a passion. I also acquired a builder's license when my husband and I acted as general contractors for our second home.
At a certain point, I turned my craft hobby into a business and sold primarily at fairs and some retail stores. Then in 2010, I created my site and my Etsy store, The Rustic Attic.
Decorating has always been fun for me. When I started having friends and neighbors asking for help and advice, I decided to incorporate my decorating passion into my website as well. I especially love to create decorative items out of junk, vintage finds, recycled materials and natural elements for some low cost options.

After 14 years and more efforts by veteran advocates than can possibly be imagined, SB219 was passed by the Nevada Assembly 41-0 today. SB219 creates a State Veterans Gift Account and directs that all money earned through the purchase of veteran license plates will be deposited to that account for veteran outreach. Prior to this bill, the money was either all deposited to offset operational expenses, or only a portion was gifted to the veterans.Thank you to great efforts of all veteran advocates, but some deserve some additional credit. Frankie Finlayson originally contacted the office and was there presenting testimony on behalf of the bill at the first hearing. Thank you to the veterans who faithfully attended each hearing and provided the necessary push when it was needed. Finally thank you to the efforts of Assemblymen Manendo, Oceguera, and Stewart. Their careful monitoring of this bill and behind the scenes efforts assured the bill made it past several very close deadlines.Upon signature of the governor, we can finally rest easy and note, the veterans license plate program is truly "Veterans helping Veterans."Thank you all.
I've just returned from Carson City with another win. SB219 - the veterans license plate bill and gift account measure was passed without opposition by the Assembly Government Affairs Committee this morning. Through the relentless efforts of Assemblyman Stewart and support of Assemblyman Oceguera we finally will fix the veterans license plates and allow veterans to support their fellow veterans. Thank you to all who helped in this endeavor, with floor passage and referral to the Governor, we may finally have this issue behind us.

Next Mazda Miata to be lighter; get smaller engines and electric power steering?
by Dan Roth (RSS feed) on Mar 24th, 2009 at 4:27PM
Low weight and greater efficiency might not be the sexiest of selling points for a sports car unless you're a devotee of Lotus founder Colin Chapman's "add lightness" philosophy. Thankfully for those less-is-more enthusiasts, however, Mazda has steadily adhered to that formula with its MX-5 Miata – and now, word from the crew at GoAuto is that company engineers are working even harder to adhere to that design philosophy, with thoughts of smaller, force-fed engines and lighter curb weights dominating discussions for the next iteration of the iconic roadster. There have long been... Read More

During ESPN's coverage of the Spurs-Jazz game on Wednesday night, an interesting situation came about. As the 3rd quarter was coming to a close, play by play announcer Dave Pasch and color commentator Jon Barry decided to flip a coin in order to decide who would have to interview Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich at the end of the quarter.
Since there was no sideline reporter on hand, one of them would have to take on the tough task of interviewing San Antonio's coach. Pasch was the odd one out here as Barry called heads and got it right. This of course was all done in good fun.
Popovich is well known for his very abrupt answers to questions during these interviews, and he certainly displayed that in this game. After the Spurs outscored the Jazz 31-24 in the 3rd, Pasch asked Pop what he liked about his defense in the quarter. Popovich responded in typical fashion with "not much."
Pasch again tried to rephrase the question by asking if there was anything at all Pop liked about his defense. Of course Gregg Popovich once again said "not much." He then starting walking away telling Pasch that "that's your two questions."
This comes only a week after Pop gave a very memorable interview with ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy, when he was covering the Spurs game against the Mavericks.
While some fans may find Popovich's lack of cooperation during interviews a little rude, this is all part of his persona. Pop is a guy who doesn't care what others think about him. All he is concerned with is the play of his team. The broadcasters know this and are having fun with it, as is Gregg Popovich.

2016: Death of the wallet as NFC tap-cash arrives at last
Forrester research reckons 2016 will be the year when electronic cash takes off, thanks to PayPal, but over at ABI they're saying 2014 will see Google Wallet filling virtual pockets. Forrester's research is based on conversations with 10 "senior executives", while the ABI prediction comes from its "Mobile Wallet Strategies" …
'Forrester's research is based on conversations with 10 "senior executives"' - wow, how many thousands did they charge for a bit of executive lunch conversations? I'm sorry, I'm just feeling dirty that anyone could get away with chatting to 10 dicks and making out that it is statistically significant enough to charge money for.
This looks just like the push to the cloud. A lot of overpaid executives anxious to get their hands on your money and data.
Google or PayPal? No thanks, I think that I will keep my hand on my wallet thank you. After all you can trust Google and E-bay can't you?
I would love to see this open up the market away from the likes of Visa and Mastercard as they are effectively in a position to tax the western world.
I'd rather go back to cash
The cost of dealing with cards was absorbed by the retailer as the cost of doing business.
In recent years they've been adding the surgharge on to customer transactions for thsoe that elect to pay by card.
Unfortunately, they seem to now be building this charge in to sale prices in the assumption that everyone pays by card.
If it means discounts at the tills for those that pay by cash, then I'll happily carry a few notes around if it means a potential discount of 1.5% (or whatever it is) at the tills.
All the middleman is doing, is driving up our prices as their "cut" gets factored in ... and I for one am not happy about it. *bangs fist on desk and spills tea*
I for one welcome our new corporate executive overlords
Kids these days. Get paid a good wad of dosh to chat up with half a score executives of companies who want to track our every move because that's their business model, and ask them to predict when they'll've succeeded in taking over our wallets with their electronic gadgets, and get to call it "research" too. Nice for the resume, I'm sure, but what it has to do with science is a bit beyond me.
Then again, that's a couple more years leeway to tell our friends and family exactly what it means to forego cash and, well, ask them vote with their wallets. Personally, unless the replacement is truly and provably anonymous, I won't want it, and neither should anyone else on this side of the payments divide.
These bozos forget one big advantage Cash has
You can do deals 'off the books'.
What the Gov can't see, the gov can't tax.
BB naturally.
related topic....
I have three (debit/credit) cards with wireless PayWave system but no pubs accept them and instead I have to wait for ages for pin to be entered and payment to be authorised.
Why don't pubs accept these quick payment methods!! GGrr
How soon before....
"Cash sir? We don't accept cash at this establishment sir. Now will that be card or phone. sir?"
"Cash? Cash is subject to a 10% handling charge."
It will happen sooner or later.
Hmm We've been there and done that
Mondex anyone.
Didn't work in Swindon.
Whatever is used has to be as conveninet , accepted everywhere, and untracable as cash for all sorts of reasons from losing VAT, to a partner not finding out what your reading habits , and I mean the Daily Mail there :) None of the systems so far do that, so cash will remain king.
Wallet to Wallet transactions?
Until these electronic cash replacements offer the ability to transfer funds seamlessly from one "wallet" to another (without charge!) to cover the "here's the fiver I owe you mate" scenario, they're going nowhere.
P2P payment applications may allow you to do that :)
re: Wallet to Wallet transactions?
Please let us mere mortals know what planet you are living on.
Do you really think that.
"ability to transfer funds seamlessly from one "wallet" to another (without charge!)"
will be allowed.
The will be at least a 10% handling charge levied by the banks etc.
Then what is to stop the guy standing next to you on the 17:30 tube from Bank to Barnet from emptying your wallet during the crush from Bank to Camden?
Fail Sir. I say Fail.
e-cash MUST be anonymous
so that people can have confidence that their payments cannot be linked to sales... sadly, due to the incessant "War on Terror", this will never be allowed... the days of the implanted chip in the forehead or right hand are fast approaching...
Now we find out that NFC really stands for No Fucking Cash ...
It's already happening
My wife has stopped banking cash a long time ago, as the banks charge her an arm and a leg for handling cash. Creditors are now paid cash as far as possible, whilst sudry expenses are also paid in cash.
I think banks have already cottoned on to the fact that people do not like paying extortion fees, that is why they are pushing other, safer (at least for them, as they are guaranteed an income) methods of payment.
<---- Evil banks/bankers, of course.
Cashless Society
Can't happen soon enough. No more scum bags asking for change or mugging you if no one ever has any usable cash on them.
yeap your right! Instead they will just mug you for your phone ....... oh wait.....
Cash may well be out of fashion by 2016,
but in that case, because we are all broke, not because most of us are dying, like certain Reg employees, to wave mobile phones at a terminal in order to purchase biscuits. Odd, is it not, that neither Forrester research nor ABI seem to be aware that there's an economic crisis rolling over the world ?...

Please have fun with this group, and don't hesitate to challenge me to a trivia duel:D
What's up, the name is J Warrior or J for short. I'm a fan of the original Star Wars, I enjoy some Star Wars games. I am as well a "gaming nut". From NES to PlayStation 3, you name it I've probably played it.

Hello, my name is System of a Down (you may call me soad or John). I am also a "gaming nut" and I love Star Wars quite a bit. I just graduated high school, and will soon be in college.
Sup, my name is Courier Six, i'm Co-Owner of this group, and a Hardc0r3 gam3r. I love Star Wars, especially the lore. I'm "currently" in Junior High. I've also played a lot of the Star Wars games, and my favorite Star Wars character is Jango Fett.
Hello, my name is Commander Shepard, you may call me Dylan or Shep for short. I am in high school currently. I love Star Wars, also thank you for creating this group, it's hard to believe GIO didn't already have this.
@Shep They did, but it was dead.
@Courier Oh, well thanks to Carbon, we now have this! Thanks Carbon!
Carbon, I like that!. And don't mention it:)
Courier is co owner and I'm not lol? I was one of the first to join. Whats a guy to do in order to be co owner?
Meh its just a popularity contest...
I AM CAMERON THE CAPED CRUSADER! ( or Cameron, Cam, Cape, Crusader or Nuck for short ) I AM THE SUPREME RULER OF THE UNIVERSE!, no I`m just kidding. I love video games and comic books (am I the only one here who likes comics?). My favorite games are RPGs (Elder Scrolls and Fallout in particular). I am kind of new to this group of people (Toilet, Shep, Courier so on...). I love Star Wars too. That is why I am here.
Well Cam I'm the nicest guy on Gi :) Oh and please call me toilet. Unless your American of course... Then it would be Carson.
I am american
No Cameron, you are not the only one who loves comics. I like them too, at least most of them.

A whimsical swashbuckling tale of wonderland journeys and unimaginable dangers, starting in Port Elisabeth, Jamaica in the year 1728, and quickly heading across – and beneath – the waves. The first three issues are collected with an all-new epilogue.

NINE7OH DESIGNS is graphic design studio based in Fort Collins, Colorado. We specialize in custom wedding invitations and professional graphic design. We aim to create an invitation with a unique blend of creativity, fresh design and a one-of-a-kind style that will set the perfect tone for your big day.
Our ability as a graphic design studio does not only consist of custom invitations. Whatever you need designed we will happily help you create it. Whether it is business cards, flyers, posters, baby announcements, bridal shower invitations, you name it we will get it done.
We take great pride in offering extraordinary style, quality and unique creativity in all of our work.
Hello, I'm Denae, Owner and Graphic Designer at NINE7OH DESIGNS.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in graphic design and photography from Colorado State University.
Like most little girls, I was always fascinated with weddings and the idea of 'happily ever after.' Now as an adult, my fascination has matured into something much greater. In 2007, I began photographing weddings; I loved being a part of the happy couple's big day. Having the opportunity to share and capture one of the happiest and most significant days of their lives was liberating. However, as time went on I realized how much I had missed design. I decided to set out a new path, but I wasn't willing to give up the wedding industry.
And so, NINE7OH DESIGNS was born. I absolutely love the creative process in designing wedding invitations; nothing beats the reaction I receive when I have successfully created an invitation that not only suits the couple's wedding theme, but also their personalities. Throughout the process of creating each invitation I found the most rewarding part is working with every couple on an individual basis making sure they receive the perfect invitation.
When I am not designing, I love spending time with my family; my amazing fiance, Colin, our son Liam who we welcomed into the world January 2012, and our dogs Kodi and Oshi. I am also a long distance runner, triathlete and avid rock climber; living in Colorado we enjoy spending time in the beautiful outdoors. We currently reside in Fort Collins, Colorado.
I look forward to working with you and congratulations on your engagement!

The origins of SPAR in Austria date
back to 1954 when the first SPAR organisation was established. The
modern SPAR AG was established in 1970 when the original founding
families joined with other regional wholesalers to form a
corporation to operate SPAR. SPAR Austria AG is a 100% privately
owned Austrian Company.
SPAR Austria has seen continued
growth through 2010. Retail sales increased by 4.5% to a record
€5.13 billion, with retail selling space now at over 1 million
square metres.
SPAR store numbers increased to
1,502 by the end of 2010. More than 700 of these are operated by
independent retailers SPAR continued its store modernisations
programme with some 100 stores undergoing refurbishment.
In 2010, SPAR Austria created 2,000
additional jobs bringing the total employed to 38,000, including
SPAR Austria has promoted the
development of SPAR outside Austria. ASPIAG (Austria SPAR
International AG) which was established in 1990, has developed SPAR
in Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia and the Czech Republic. ASPIAG also
operates a SPAR organisation in Northern Italy.
SPAR Austria opened its first
environmentally friendly supermarkets in 2010. The reduction in CO
Vienna and Murau (Styria) equates to the total annual emissions of
40 Austrian households. The two new stores were awarded with an
international climate protection prize by ÖGNI.
INTERSPAR celebrated its 40 Austria
in 2010. This was marked with the opening of 10 new stores, 4 new
build and 6 refurbishments. NTERSPAR invested €60 million in
these projects.
A new INTERSPAR store concept was
developed in 2010. This concept is focused on urban areas and the
store size has been reduced to 2,500m2. By the end of
2010, SPAR had opened 4 hypermarkets based on this new
The expansion of the SPAR European
Shopping Centres Business (SES) continues. A total of 24 major
shopping centres across central Europe are owned and managed by
SES. The most recent shopping centre was opened in Vöcklabruck,
SPAR Austria launched the SPAR
Express format in Austria. 11 SPAR Express stores were opened in
2010 and it is planned to open a total of 70 SPAR Express stores on
petrol forecourts over the next 2.5 years.
The development of the private
label range continued with the successful launch of SPAR Premium, a
new high quality artisan range. Pierce Brosnan is the face of the
SPAR Premium range. The S-Budget range continues to perform well
and the range was also introduced by SPAR UK and SPAR Ireland. SPAR
Austria organised the first. S-Budget-party involving thousands of
young people at different hotspots in a number of Austrian cities.
The S-Budget concept was extended with the launch of the S-Budget
travel website, which offers low cost travel within and outside of
'Stickermania' was one of the most
successful marketing activities of the year. Collectable stickers
were distributed when items were purchased in SPAR stores. The
novelty sticker books were sold out within weeks.
The social network presence of SPAR
Austria was extended with profiles being created for Facebook, Xing
and Twitter.
SPAR Austria continues to place
huge importance on Corporate Social Responsibility. Their
contributions to charity totalled €.3 million in 2010. They
received the Austrian Integration Prize in 2010 their
apprenticeship academy.
SPAR established a new form of
sustainability training for apprentices. The apprentices learned
about issues such as responsible shopping, saving energy, etc.
These learnings have been put into practice as the apprentices can
feed back the information to customers in-store.
For many years, SPAR Austria, has
been committed to alternative egg production. Recently, a unique
control system for eggs was implemented in Austria, which exceeds
general standards. This commitment was recognised when SPAR Austria
received the international animal welfare award, 'The Golden Egg'
in October 2010.
SPAR Austria are investing in
electric mobility in the form of e-bikes and e-forecourts. They are
the first Austrian company to introduce an initiative of this kind.
2,000 e-bikes have been sold by EUROSPAR and INTERSPAR stores with
56 e-forecourts constructed in 2010.

Hon Pete Hodgson
Ministerial Group on Climate Change
16 July 2001
The Government today released an information document on forest sinks and the Kyoto Protocol as part of its efforts to improve understanding of climate change issues.
A forest sink is a growing or expanding forest that absorbs and stores carbon. Sinks help mitigate climate change because CO2 is removed from the atmosphere, where it would otherwise contribute to global warming.
Under the Kyoto Protocol New Zealand would receive "sink credits", based on the carbon in forests planted since 1 January 1990 on previously non-forested land.
New Zealand's "Kyoto forests" are expected to remove approximately 113 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent over the protocol's first commitment period of 2008-2012. Sink credits could generate significant revenue for New Zealand in international carbon trading.
The information document explains forest sinks and presents the first discussion of how a system to manage New Zealand's forest sinks might operate.
"This document is an important step to help the forestry sector's involvement in the development of New Zealand's domestic climate change policy for forest sinks," said Pete Hodgson, Convenor of the Ministerial Group on Climate Change.
"Formal consultation on a system to manage New Zealand's forest sinks is due to begin in August, following publication of a further discussion document detailing the Government's policy options."
The information document provides opportunity for feedback by 10 August 2001.
Climate Change negotiations in Bonn this week are likely to provide more detail on the Kyoto Protocol rules that will govern forest sinks.
Copies of the information document are available from the Publications Officer, MAF Information Bureau, 04 474 4100, PO Box 2526, Wellington, from www.maf.govt.nz and www.climatechange.govt.nz

Afghan Finance Graduates Achieve Vital Fiscal Milestone
By NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan Public Affairs
KABUL –Thirty-five officers from various Afghan Ministry of Defense departments were the first in the country's history to graduate from an 11-month planning, programming, budgeting and execution (PPBE) course. The course structure focused on aiding Afghan budgeting programmers to develop a transparent, accountable three-year budget resistant to corruption and built to incorporate incremental, sustainable improvements.
"The Afghan Army is a new army," said Afghan Deputy to the Assistant Minister of Strategy and Policy, Major Gen. Asadullah Akram Yar. "We are providing the necessary skills to bring about success and build upon what we've already accomplished during the past ten years."
With transition—in which the Afghan government will take full control of their country's security—set for 2014, U.S. and coalition forces are expected to decrease their operational footprint and assume a mainly advisory role. Training such as the PPBE course is a critical part of the transition process, providing the knowledge needed by the Afghan government to continue the progress made towards stable and sustainable security and defense programs.
"That is part of the whole process of building the Afghan Army—enabling ourselves to take responsibility for the defense of our own country," explained Yar.
Fiscally, Afghanistan is expecting a smaller NATO financial contribution in coming years as the buildup of forces reaches its ceiling and the budget must only support the less expensive sustainment of those forces. Graduates of the new class learned to prioritize requirements to match these expected lower funding levels, marking a clear indicator that the Afghan government is confident in its progression.
"Programming is only three years old in Afghanistan," said Lead PPBE Instructor Philip Bossert. "[It] is a natural anti-corruption mechanism, which if done correctly, makes the entire PPBE system open, all-inclusive, transparent and accountable."
The graduation is one of many milestones Afghanistan has achieved while working toward transition of security in 2014. According to U.K. Col. Bruce Russell, NTM-A Senior Advisor for Afghan MoD Strategy and Policy, the Afghan's desire to self-sustain and independently navigate their own future is fueled by a need for knowledge and growth.
"This is a good milestone. It's not the end, it's not the beginning, but it's all part of the process," said Russell. "A lot of work they do is extremely complicated, and the concepts and procedures that these Afghans have to do in the MoD are, for the most part, completely new."

Beetles in sunflowers nothing to worry about
As sunflowers near maturity and harvest approaches, it is common to spot beetles of all sizes on sunflowers.
There may be a lot of these beetles, but they are not considered sunflower pests. There are two beetles that are seen actively feeding on sunflower heads but cause no damage to the crop: bumble flower beetles and sap beetles.
Bumble flower beetles measure about 1/2 to 5/8 inches long and come in different colors ranging from yellowish brown to dark brown with black spots on their forewings.
Sap beetles are much smaller in size (1/8 to 1/4 inch long) and dark colored with orange to yellow spots and bands on their body. Neither bumble flower beetles nor sap beetles are known to cause any damage in sunflowers, and no treatment is necessary to manage these insects. For more information about beetles, visit http://igrow.org/agronomy/other-crops/bumble-flower-beetles-and-sap-beetles-in-sunflowers/.

The University has two options for those interested in voluntary retirement: the Optional Retirement Plan (403b) and the 457 Deferred Compensation plan.
From Brief, May 14, 2008
The University of Minnesota, along with more than 20 major Minnesota employers, has joined Financially Fit Minnesota, a statewide initiative to help employees plan for their future. As part of the program, the University is encouraging employees to participate in the voluntary retirement plan. The goal is to improve financial literacy and security among U employees.
"As U employees, we have the benefit of great retirement savings plans that offer a lot of options and flexibility," says Carol Carrier, vice president of the Office of Human Resources. "With the voluntary plans, even a modest regular contribution can result in a healthy balance when it grows over time."
Recent economic news has highlighted a problem that has been lingering for years. Many people aren't saving for retirement or are dipping into retirement savings to pay off debts. A 2007 nationwide survey found that 40 percent of workers are not saving for retirement and many more aren't saving enough. Social Security might not be there to bail them out. The Social Security Trust Fund Board reported in March that the fund may be depleted by 2041.
Although most University employees can expect to receive retirement benefits from pension plans such as the Minnesota State Retirement System or Faculty Retirement Plan, income from these plans alone may not be enough to ensure a comfortable retirement, particularly if one considers the rising costs of medical care. According to the Employee Benefits Research Institute, a man with employer-based health insurance who retires at age 65 and lives to age 80 will need $80,000 just to pay out-of-pocket lifetime medical expenses.
Workers age 25 to 34 are typically the lowest savers, but they have the most to gain from starting early on retirement savings. By investing early, one doesn't have to contribute a lot each month to get a sizable retirement nest egg. A worker who begins investing just $20 per month at age 25 will have over $130,000 by age 65.
The University has two options for those interested in participating in the voluntary retirement program--the Optional Retirement Plan (403b) and the 457 Deferred Compensation plan. A variety of investment options are offered in each plan through four investment firms. You can contribute to either or both of these plans. Detailed information about each plan can be viewed on the Office of Human Resources Web site.
The Office of Human Resources also offers workshops to help U employees understand the voluntary retirement plans and make informed investment decisions. A list of workshops can be found at HR benefits. To request a Voluntary Retirement Plan enrollment kit, call Employee Benefits at 612-624-9090 or 1-800-756-2363, and select option 2.

Each of our four floors houses a specialized program of care in an environment designed to enhance the quality of life for our residents. Every floor offers modern, comfortable resident rooms, along with dining rooms, lounges and activity spaces. Residents can take advantage of the centers recreational areas and a large, secure outdoor area. A gift shop, hair salon and cafeteria are also on site.
Specialized services
Residents at Farren Care Center participate in one of four specialized programs:
Residents benefit from our multidisciplinary treatment team, which includes psychiatric, psychological, behavioral, nursing, social services and pastoral care professionals. Team members meet weekly to review each residents progress and adapt his or her care plan to meet changing needs. Available services include:
Family and friends throughout the Northern Hemisphere will soon gather to celebrate the season of giving. Burning candles, exchanging gifts, singing traditional songs, illuminating the night with lights are customs we observe to chase away the darkness of winter. Each small flame, each light, each act of kindness, makes the days a little warmer, the nights a little brighter. Also at this time of year, friends of Farren Care Center have remembered loved ones, living or deceased, through the Gift of Light program.
Mental illness casts a dark shadow over the lives of those touched by it. For over a decade, the Franklin County community has been the home of Farren Care Center a home for individuals, mostly seniors, from across the state with severe physical and mental challenges. Farren residents require skilled, specialized, nursing care only available in a limited number of communities across the entire country.
Light a light to honor the memory of a friend or family member, commemorate a special occasion or to give thanks. A light in the Gift of Light display is available for $5 each. In addition, an ornament bearing the honorees name will be placed on the indoor holiday tree. All proceeds from this event will directly benefit the Farren residents by making possible the purchase of program equipment and supplies that enable residents to develop and improve their physical and social skills. A holiday gift (in some instances, the only gift the resident receives) is purchased with funds generated through this program, as well. Please return the enclosed form.
We hope we can count on your support of the Gift of Light program this holiday season. Together we can bring more light to the lives of those afflicted with mental illness.

The warmth and laughter and holly jolly times of the holidays are accompanied by big-time stress. For many revelers, there's too much food, too much drink, and way too much emotion and expectation for naughty and nice alike. In a realistic turn, The Music Box Theater's The White Christmas Album 2: The Sequel has chosen to embrace this fact with its second annual Beatles-based year-end finale. "It was during the recording of The Beatles' The White Album that a lot of the conflict began with the group," says Luke Wrobel, Music Box's co-creative director and an actor in the company. "So this year, we look at the conflict of Christmas." In addition to numerous beloved and seemingly loving Fab Four tunes, including "I Feel Fine," "Come Together," "Eleanor Rigby," "All My Loving" and others featured in last season's inaugural installment of the show, Wrobel says TMBT fans should also expect a hefty dose of holiday standards thrown into the mix. "We realized that a lot of these songs lend themselves to sort of a mash-up," Wrobel says, noting that musical director Glenn Sharp has done a fine job with the Lennon-McCartney carol-splicing.

Orphaned dog saved by a flight to a new life
By KVAL News Published: Aug 2, 2012 at 4:28 PM PDT Last Updated: Aug 2, 2012 at 5:51 PM PDT
COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. — An orphaned Australian cattle dog is reunited with her foster-mom after the volunteer program "Pilots 'n Paws" flew the pup from a Pendleton shelter to a home in Cottage Grove.
The six-year-old dog, Maggie, was evaluated by Sonja Wilkins at a rescue shelter before she was adopted two years ago by a Pendleton man. Maggie was orphaned after her new owner recently committed suicide.
After the man's death, Maggie was taken to a dog pound in Pendleton where she faced being euthanized. Word got back to Wilkins that Maggie was homeless once again, and she said that she would be happy to take her back in.
The volunteer organization "Pilots 'n Paws" agreed to fly Maggie to live Cottage Grove until she is adopted. Wilkins will serve as a temporary foster-mom because of her previous experience with Maggie.
"I know she loves treats, loves tennis balls and Kong toys to play with, so she'll be all set here!" Wilkins said while waiting at the Cottage Grove airport.
This was the first flight this volunteer pilot as done for the "Pilots n' Paws" organization. He said that Maggie looked pretty bored on the flight to her new home, but appeared happy upon arrival.
