paddys brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 41 Designs von 13 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
PLEASE NOTE - most entries are ignoring what we want and simnply redesigning our current site. WE WANT A MICROBLOGGING TEMPLATE, so check out the example sites listed below before submitting a design.
We are in beta development stage of a travel microblogging website, and want a fresh new design that sets our site apart.
We've already developed a location search site (with maps) for travellers to find spots they are interested in. After our initial private beta release around a month ago, we are now looking to upgrade both the application as well as the look/feel of the site, to be more of a micro-blogging site.
We have a few sites to take some examples from: obviously Twitter.com, Tumblr.com and Jaiku.com first off. But other sites like placeshout.com or revou.com are worth checking out for their incorporation of maps.
We essentially want a minimalist design with some color incorporated - the exact color scheme you use is up to you.
Note: Instead of the one submit field like on twitter/jaiku, there should be 2 as in placeshout.
Also, the search results will be shown with a round "sticker" icons on the map, which may be incorporated into the logo
- Simple, clean look
- Focus is on microblog entry form (see examples)
- Smaller search form somewhere on page, with textboxes for location and tag fields
- Maps incorporated
- Minimalist design
- Examples include: twitter, jaiku, tumblr, revou, placeshout
- Possibly round stickers incorporated somehow, as these will be used to signify location on maps
- Ill tell you if you do something I dont want - but for now Im open to anything you may toss up

I, of course, fly the flag for curvy women – I'm one myself and the celebration of having a full figure is what this blog is about. But the debate about what constitutes a 'real' woman makes me shudder. We are all real women, whether we are flat chested or blessed with an impressive cleavage; someone with slim hips is as beautiful as those of us who are more cushioned. One is not better than the other.
The conversation about what is attractive seems to me to veer into quite nasty territory sometimes…
There's an awful Nigella Lawson vs Gillian McKeith image floating around on the internet and on Facebook at the moment which really gets my back up, the premise being that one is the most attractive and desirable.
In her photo Nigella is seen in a gorgeous evening gown (wouldn't mind one like that myself, it's beautiful – and very flattering), wearing full professionally done make up, hair coiffed gorgeously and she's well lit. The photograph was taken at a public event and she's made an effort, to put it midly.
The Gillian portrait contrasting Nigella's is a still from 'I'm A Celebrity (Get Me Out Of Here!)' She wears no make-up and surprisingly enough hasn't had time to do her hair, probably because she's been doing things like diving into tanks of fish eyes and kangaroo boy bits to earn food for her fellow camp mates. Oh, and she's been living on rice and the odd courgette for God knows how many days at this point so forgive her if she doesn't quite look her best.
It's unfair to compare the two with these photographs, and it muddies the waters about beauty and body shape.
This isn't some sort of competition where one type of woman comes out on top. What we should all be aiming for is that us curvies get an equal deal from retailers, magazines and so on, and that skinny women aren't represented as the only ideal. Being horrid about a slim woman not looking her best isn't the way to go, we need to celebrate all women and encourage acceptance of all shapes and size!

Celine outlet reviews jungle Aged care crisis Only one in five are receiving proper palliative care.
Up celine sale to 50 per cent of residents are malnourished, with some people being left for entire days in soiled nappies. More than 200,000 people are living in Australian aged care facilities and advocacy groups now describe the shocking state of care being delivered as a national human rights emergency. This exclusive report from Margot O'Neill. MARGOT O'NEILL, REPORTER: Here's how life in a Victorian nursing home ended last year for Margaret McEvoy, a post War bride, much loved nurse, midwife and foster carer who also raised six children and had 17 grandchildren: JANE GREEN, DAUGHTER: She was screaming in pain. There was a lot of people that came in contact with her care over those five days and they witnessed and they know I witnessed mum screaming in front of them and they still did not see that as being pain. MARGOT O'NEILL: Nursing home staff believed Margaret McEvoy was attention seeking. JANE GREEN: celine bag sale She was portrayed to outreach nurses as being a whinger, she was attention seeking. And he actually admitted that that's what they had said to him, that she is only attention seeking, so there's nothing wrong with this lady. MARGOT O'NEILL: For five days staff tried to make Margaret McEvoy walk. In fact she had an undiagnosed broken thigh bone, a raging infection and severe dehydration. Her daughter Jane Green, who's also a nurse, had to fight to get her mother taken to hospital where Margaret McEvoy was immediately put into palliative care. She died six weeks later. During those final weeks of attentive medical care in hospital, Jane Green was surprised to see the spirited, happy woman she knew as her mother re emerge. JANE GREEN: We saw slivers of our mum again, we saw some happy times again, which we hadn't seen. And I guess that that highlighted and became much more of a contrast to what really had been going on for mum. MARGOT O'NEILL: What had been going on It's a familiar litany of complaints. Overworked and undertrained nursing home staff weren't giving medication properly and were leaving Margaret McEvoy to wet herself or worse because no one was available to take her to the toilet. JANE GREEN: Mum was horrified. She just couldn't cope with that. MARGOT O'NEILL: Her mother lost weight and was constantly hungry. JANE GREEN: One evening, mum even got served raisin toast for a meal, a main meal. MARGOT O'NEILL: And she said the staff often abused her. JANE GREEN: The staff member called her a spoilt brat and a princess and that she always wanted her own way. You know, she had actually obviously suffered so much. When we weren't there, what were they doing Because they weren't that kind to her when we were there. MARGOT O'NEILL: Her once confident mother seemed broken. JANE GREEN: She would not make eye contact with us. She became very shut down. She was gutted, basically. It was like seeing someone who had had the stuffing knocked out of them, basically. MARGOT O'NEILL: Jane Green has since spoken to a former staff member and other family with relatives in the same nursing home. They told her that other elderly residents were also abused. An incapacitated man had urine soaked sheets thrown at him. Another woman was left crying out with agonising abdominal pain. She later died with a gangrenous gall bladder. Despite Margaret McEvoy's lifetime of nursing people and their children, she was denied appropriate medical care and she knew it. JANE GREEN: You know, that's really heart rending. And when I was leaving her on. (getting emotional and then crying). Sorry..I'd leave her on Friday nights, she'd look at me and just say to me, "I'm alright. Please, just I'll be OK. I'll try and be OK." And I knew she was just trying to be brave. MARGOT O'NEILL: Margaret McEvoy's story is not isolated. In a NSW nursing home, nurse and health care lecturer Mardi Walker was horrified when she found her 91 year old grandmother with exposed raw air cartilage due to lack of turning and one of her celine id bracelet size celine outlet price celine id bracelet size celine outlet uk arms immobilised after staff botched injections. MARDI WALKER, GRANDDAUGHTER: They were coming along and injecting into the one spot all the time and she would just scream. Mum said it was horrific when they did it, she would just scream. MARGOT O'NEILL: But Paula Javurek was tough. She'd survived Nazi concentration camps. She wasn't Jewish, but had fought the fascists and had been tortured and raped after being captured. She and her husband built a new life in Australia after the War. But when Paula Dvjorak's family could no longer look after her, they told the nursing home that only female staff should wash her because of residual trauma from the war time assaults. The family has since counted 70 times when male phantom tote celine carers washed their nan who tried to fight them off. MARDI celine outlet reviews jjshouse WALKER, GRANDDAUGHTER: I think she felt like she was almost probably back in war time again. My mother often used to say, "Some days, Mardi, it was so bad," sometimes I think she would've been better off in a concentration camp than where she is here.
MARGOT O'NEILL: After finding their nan shivering from cold and suffering undiagnosed pneumonia, the family took her home. A week later, in February this year, Paula Javurek died. .

Slick Tricks
Telecommunications slamming and cramming is back, with new twists on an all-too-tiresome theme. Complaints about hijacked phone accounts (slamming) and unauthorized add-on charges (cramming) have increased in the past few months, according to FCC officials. Even entrepreneurs wise in the ways of buying telecommunications services can be fooled by the latest scams.
Marc Goldman, president of Web services consulting firm Goldbar Enterprises Inc., in Briarcliff Manor, New York, tried last February to switch his long-distance service from AT&T to a new competitor. Shortly after the competitor took over the account, it mysteriously reverted to AT&T--a case of reverse slamming.
Goldman knew federal law enables slammed phone customers to enlist the help of their local phone companies to "freeze" their long-distance provider. He got Verizon to lock in his long-distance account with the new company.
Clerical employees often unwittingly agree to telecom trial offers, says Lee Biddle, a telecom analyst with the Utility Consumers' Action Network of San Diego. When the bill arrives, accounting gets stuck sorting out the disputed charges. Biddle urges, "Make sure all employees know you won't agree to anything."
Fit and Trim
Finding relatively easy ways to trim expenses is kind of like finding loose change in your sofa cushions: You're probably sitting on more than you realize.
Entrepreneur Carrie Governor recently snipped $5,000 a month in overhead costs. Some of that was through big changes-like moving to a bigger, cheaper, better-located office. But to her surprise, Governor, president of Caregiver Services Inc., a Medford, Oregon, in-home care staffing agency, found lots of ways to snip overhead expenses. Governor saved $200 a month, for instance, by having the cleaning service come weekly instead of twice a week. "Every decision we make now, we're conscious of the cost," says Governor.
Start by examining where your overhead is getting out of control, advises John Knoff, a financial and management consultant in Chicago. Compare your annual budget for each operational category to monthly purchases to see where you're leaking cash.
Hand small, specific decisions to staff members. For instance, let support staff choose whether they'd rather splurge on pricey disposable pens or colorful sticky notes. If one type of office supply has become popular in your office, negotiate a wholesale rate for it.
Analyze your local newspaper, magazine and Yellow Pages advertising to see which ads are least effective, and eliminate those. Or run a cost-benefit thumbnail on memberships in local business associations and national trade groups. If you're too busy to attend meetings, it might not be worth it to continue to pay membership dues.
Joanne Cleaver has written for a variety of publications, including the Chicago Tribune and Executive Female.

Disaster - a deadly virus SDGS (most of those infected have died, but some were mutations that increased their strength, endurance and aggressiveness). In May 2015, the world heard about a new outbreak of bird flu infection in a month on humans, in July were recorded deaths in those infected by the time the vaccine was developed and the disease went into decline. The fall of the infection back to a more dangerous form: deaths accounted for ~ 90% of cases, moreover, the incubation period is sometimes reached week. Two weeks later, when authorities impose quarantine measures, and even after a week of martial law. It did not take long to realize that it is impossible to localize an outbreak and it has been decided to hide the political elite in the bunkers. Citizens of the Russian Federation once again were left to fend for themselves.
This model have places for infantry and some destructible pieces. Good luck, have fun! :)

Google Sign-In manages the OAuth 2.0 flow and token lifecycle, simplifying your integration with Google APIs. A user always has the option to revoke access to an application at any time.
This document describes how to complete a basic Google Sign-In integration.
Before you begin
Before you can integrate Google Sign-In into your website, you must create a client ID, which you need to call the sign-in API.
To create a Google API Console project and client ID, click the following button:
When you configure the project, select the Web browser client type and specify the origin URI of your app.
After configuration is complete, take note of the client ID that was created. You will need the client ID to complete the next steps. (A client secret is also created, but you need it only for server-side operations.)
Load the Google Platform Library
You must include the Google Platform Library on your web pages that integrate Google Sign-In.

Specify your app's client ID
Specify the client ID you created for your app in the Google Developers Console
with the
google-signin-client_id meta element.
<meta name="google-signin-client_id" content="YOUR_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com">
Add a Google Sign-In button
The easiest way to add a Google Sign-In button to your site is to use an automatically rendered sign-in button. With only a few lines of code, you can add a button that automatically configures itself to have the appropriate text, logo, and colors for the sign-in state of the user and the scopes you request.
To create a Google Sign-In button that uses the default settings, add a
element with the class
g-signin2 to your sign-in page:

The following is an example of the default Google Sign-In button:
Get profile information
After you have signed in a user with Google using the default scopes, you can access the user's Google ID, name, profile URL, and email address.
To retrieve profile information for a user, use the
function onSignIn(googleUser) {
var profile = googleUser.getBasicProfile();
console.log('ID: ' + profile.getId()); // Do not send to your backend! Use an ID token instead.
console.log('Name: ' + profile.getName());
console.log('Image URL: ' + profile.getImageUrl());
console.log('Email: ' + profile.getEmail()); // This is null if the 'email' scope is not present.
Sign out a user
You can enable users to sign out of your app without signing out of Google by
adding a sign-out button or link to your site. To create a sign-out link, attach
a function that calls the
method to the link's
onclick event.
Sign out
function signOut() {
var auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
auth2.signOut().then(function () {
console.log('User signed out.');

Shoreside Terminal, also known as Airport Tube Station, is a subway station on the Liberty City Subway in Shoreside Vale, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It is located in a plaza next to Francis International Airport, just to the south of the Shoreside Lift Bridge.
A teleport glitch can be performed in the subway at Shoreside Terminal station. If the player exits the front-most door of the train, they will reappear on the roof of the tunnel in blue hell. Then the player can run on the tunnel (the player have to jump one of the first "electricity thing" on the ceiling, otherwise the player will fall of the roof). This is a good method to reach the whole Shoreside Vale, if the player not have unlocked it (if the player dies or gets busted, the player will be transported to the hospital/police station on the nearest island that the player have unlocked). If you want to reach Shoreside Vale, jump into Blue Hell. You will respawn on the ground of the island.
The station actually becomes accessible to the player after completing the mission Driving Mr. Leone in LCS and Sayonara Salvatore in III before Shoreside Vale is officially unlocked. However, a gate blocks the exit from the station (despite this, many pedestrians can be seen walking inside the station and on the other side of the gate).

| 9°C Belfast
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has refused to get drawn further into a war of words with his Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho, this time over Yaya Toure escaping disciplinary action.
Pellegrini last week responded for the first time to Mourinho's regular jibes, and the Portuguese has since fired back yet again.
Mourinho's latest salvos concerned the decision by the Football Association not to take action against City midfielder Toure over an off-the-ball incident at Norwich last weekend, and calculations over the London club's transfer spending.
These came after Pellegrini responded to Mourinho's claim that Chelsea were the "little horse" of the three teams in the title race by saying they were "little, but rich".
Pellegrini had also suggested Mourinho was continually telling lies about City - there had been previous remarks about Financial Fair Play and luck with refereeing decisions - in the hope that some became established as the truth.
Pellegrini had previously refused to get involved in such tit for tat and the experienced Chilean, who clashed with Mourinho during their time in Spain, wants to revert to that position.
The 60-year-old said: "I answered just once to Mourinho because if you remain in silence always, (people) may agree with those things.
"He started talking about referees and Financial Fair Play, I don't think it is the way (to go about things).
"But just once. I will not continue every week talking about things that for me are not important."
Mourinho's frequent barbs have been depicted as mind games in a close Barclays Premier League title race but Pellegrini insists they will not work.
He said: "No, I don't think those are mind games. I don't think any managers can be affected by those kind of things."
An FA disciplinary panel opted not to take retrospective action against Toure after the Ivorian appeared to kick out at Norwich striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
The incident in Saturday's goalless draw at Carrow Road was missed by referee Jon Moss but caught on television and Mourinho suggested the Ivorian should face a violent conduct charge.
But Pellegrini, speaking at a press conference, said: "I repeat, I don't respond to things Mourinho says every week because he will continue every week to try talking about things that are not from football."
As for the incident itself, City might be relived that there is now no prospect of Toure facing a ban at a time when key players Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho and Samir Nasri are injured.
Pellegrini said: "I suppose the FA acts the way they think is better for all the teams. I trust in the FA and I trust in referees."
Mourinho claimed not charging Toure could effectively give players licence to "do whatever".

In light of recent attacks, troops are told to "build trust, but make sure you have a bodyguard present." NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Updated at 5:54 p.m. ET: An apparent insider attack by Afghan forces has killed a U.S. service member and a contractor, officials said Sunday – bringing the total number of U.S. troops killed inside Afghanistan to 2,000 according to some measures.
A U.S. official confirmed the latest death in the 11-year-old conflict on Sunday.
The American service member killed was a soldier. The American contractor was working as a trainer for either the Afghan army or police, according to NBC News.
On Saturday night, an Afghan soldier approached Americans, killing a soldier and a contractor; with that, the number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan is around 2,100 in the United States' 11-year-war in the country. Insider attacks have become increasingly common – and no one seems to have a good answer about how to stop them. NBC's Lester Holt and Richard Engel report from Kabul.
The attack happened Saturday at a checkpoint on a highway in Wardak Province, a defense official said. Two Afghan National Army soldiers approached the checkpoint and had a brief conversation with the troops there. One of the ANA soldiers then shot and killed the American service members and the contractor, officials told NBC News.
With a suspected "insider" attack at a checkpoint. the US military has suffered its 2,000th death in the war in Afghanistan. NBC's Atia Abawi and Mike Viqueira report.
A brief firefight ensued, and left at least three Afghan Army soldiers dead – including the initial shooter, officials said.
The Afghan military claimed the Americans were killed by a mortar attack, but the American military insisted that is not true, that the Afghan soldier opened fire and they returned fire.
The dead U.S. soldier was identified as Sgt. 1st Class Riley G. Stephens, 39, of Tolar, Texas. Stephens was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), based at Fort Bragg, N.C.
The U.S. toll in Afghanistan has climbed steadily in recent months with a spate of attacks by Afghan army and police against American and NATO troops, and questions about whether allied countries will achieve their aim of helping the Afghan government and its forces stand on their own after most foreign troops depart in little more than two years. The U.S. is preparing to withdraw most of its combat forces by the end of 2014.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that the latest death was the 2,000th member of the U.S. armed services killed inside Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion on Oct. 7, 2001. However, that AP figure did not include those who died after sustaining injuries in Afghanistan or those killed in other countries as part of the same campaign against al-Qaida and the Taliban.
TODAY's Lester Holt heads down the road to Sangasar, the physical and spiritual heart of the Taliban. He speaks with American and Afghan soldiers along the way.
According to icasualties.org, an independent monitoring organization which uses the wider definition, the latest death brings the toll of U.S. service members to 2035. At least a further 1,190 coalition troops have also died in the Afghanistan war, it says.
The Brookings Institution, a Washington-based research center, said 40.2 percent of the deaths were caused by improvised explosive devices, with the majority of those after 2009 when President Barack Obama ordered a surge of 33,000 troops to combat heightened Taliban activity. According to the Washington-based research center, the second highest cause, 30.6 percent, was hostile fire.
Tracking civilian deaths is much more difficult. According to the U.N., 13,431 civilians were killed in the Afghan conflict between 2007, when the U.N. began keeping statistics, and the end of August. Going back to the U.S.-led invasion in 2001, most estimates put the number of Afghan deaths in the war at more than 20,000.
The 2001 invasion targeted al-Qaida and its Taliban allies after the Sept. 11 attacks, which claimed nearly 3,000 lives in the United States.
"The tally is modest by the standards of war historically, but every fatality is a tragedy and 11 years is too long," Michael O'Hanlon, a fellow at the Brookings, told the AP. "All that is internalized, however, in an American public that has been watching this campaign for a long time. More newsworthy right now are the insider attacks and the sense of hopelessness they convey to many. "
Attacks by Afghan soldiers or police — or insurgents disguised in their uniforms — have killed 52 American and other NATO troops so far this year.
The so-called insider attacks are considered one of the most serious threats to the U.S. exit strategy from the country. In its latest incarnation, that strategy has focused on training Afghan forces to take over security nationwide — allowing most foreign troops to go home by the end of 2014.
As American troops draw out of Afghanistan, officials say the removal plan is on track but that time is precious and the Taliban threat is worrisome. NBC's Lester Holt reports.
Although Obama has pledged that most U.S. combat troops will leave by the end of 2014, American, NATO and allied troops are still dying in Afghanistan at a rate of one a day.
Even with 33,000 American troops back home, the U.S.-led coalition will still have 108,000 troops — including 68,000 from the U.S. — fighting in Afghanistan at the end of this year. Many of those will be training the Afghan National Security Forces that are to replace them.
"There is a challenge for the administration," O'Hanlon said, "to remind people in the face of such bad news why this campaign requires more perseverance."
The Associated Press and NBC News' Courtney Kube and Atia Abawi, in Kabul, contributed to this report.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – The LA Galaxy became MLS' third team to claim a spot in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League thanks to a 1-0 victory over Motagua at Estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino on Thursday night.
Juninho provided the lone goal for the Galaxy in the 29th minute of play.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
The win catapulted the Galaxy up the table to first place in group A, ahead of Alajuelense — who were eliminated — and Morelia due to head-to-head goal differential among the three sides.
The Galaxy were able to earn the result without stars Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane. Donovan started the match on the bench due to a nagging quadriceps injury but eventually put in 22 minutes of work, while Keane remained out due to an adductor strain.
One of Motagua's largest crowds in recent history came out to see David Beckham & Co., who were received with cheers rather than jeers – the latter which has been the case in other venues throughout Central America.
The match started off sloppy, but it was the Honduran side who nearly drew first blood in the 19th minute, when forward Jerry Bengtston fired a shot that went just wide of Josh Saunders' net.
Just two minutes later, it was the Galaxy who were threatening the net as Chad Barrett forced a diving save from Motagua goalkeeper Kerpo De León.
The visitors finally broke through in the 29th minute when Juninho fired an audacious ball from 35 yards out that appeared to be going over the bar before dipping over De León an into the net. The goal was the Brazilian's sixth in all competitions, with five of the goals coming from beyond the box.
WATCH: Postgame with Juninho
As the Galaxy sought to preserve their lead, Motagua threw numbers forward in search of the equalizer and forced Saunders to make a number of key saves to keep LA in the lead.
The pressure from Motagua did not last long, however, and the Galaxy began to control wide stretches of possession as the game went into the waning minutes.
LA nearly put the match out of reach in the 89th minute, when Donovan fired a shot from the top of the box that sailed over the bar.
Just moments later, Motagua nearly ended the Galaxy's dreams of reaching the quarterfinals when Frankie Hejduk was forced to make a last-minute poke as the home side's Guillermo "Pando" Ramírez prepared to shoot from just outside the six-yard box.
The loose ball, however, fell to Bengston. The Honduran international took it on the bounce but fired it well over the crossbar.
With the result, the Galaxy could face Salvadoran club Isidro Metapán or fellow MLS sides Toronto FC or Seattle Sounders in the quarterfinals.

I like the idea of hand made gifts. I have, in the past, made jam/jelly or different kinds of salsa and given jars as part of a gift basket. Most if not all of the ingredients come from our garden or grow wild. I am hoping this year to get a good crop of both wild grapes and some hubby grows in the garden for jam or jelly. If we can get them before the birds do!
I had that bird problem with my raspberries until my husband mowed them down by mistake.

Return to: Interdisciplinary Majors and Minors
Department of Economics and Finance
A composite minor in Real Estate/Insurance consists of 18 hours and includes 3 upper-division hours at MTSU. A 2.00 GPA is required in the Real Estate/Insurance minor. This minor is not available to Finance majors with concentrations in Insurance or Real Estate.
An elective business minor may be chosen, but additional minor(s) require total hours for graduation to exceed 120.
Interdisciplinary minors require the student to complete a minimum of 15 to 21 hours from a list of specific courses. Unless otherwise noted, a student may take no more than 6 hours of courses from a single department until he or she surpasses the required minimum number of hours necessary for completing the minor. Exceptions to this rule may be found within the discussions of several of the minors. In most cases, a student is also limited to just 3 hours of credit toward the minor in the same department or discipline in which he or she is taking a major. Except for the Paralegal Studies minor, no course may be counted both for major and minor credit. Students must fulfill all departmental prerequisites for any course within an interdisciplinary minor. In some cases, advisors may approve course substitutions within these program requirements.

From the DVD case:
A bar owner forces his wife and her lover into a murky Southern swamp to be eaten by giant leeches. These over-sized bloodsucking monsters soon develop an appetite for human flesh. Sometimes scary, sometimes chilling, but always low-budget and slimy, this cult classic makes a fine choice for a late night scare/laugh. (1959, b&w)
Mark says:
Sometimes I wonder if the people who write descriptions for DVD cases have actually watched the movies they are describing. Anyway, this is a movie about giant leeches in a swamp.
You'll recognize a lot of the same cast and crew from the movie Night of the Blood Beast. Low-budget kings Roger and Gene Corman produce the picture, and Bernard L. Kowalski directs it. You'll also see Michael Emmet and Tyler McVey again as Cal Moulton and Doc Greyson, respectively. What this movie has, though, is what Night of the Blood Beast sorely lacks, Yvette Vickers (Attack of the 50 Ft Woman). I'll watch anything with Yvette Vickers in it.
Yvette plays her part as the sexy, swamp tramp, Liz Walker, to the hilt. The scenes between her and Bruno VeSota (The Wasp Woman) as her unlikely husband, Dave, are by far the most enjoyable scenes of the picture. If the major story focused on them, this might have been a better movie.
Unfortunately, the hero of Giant Leeches is Steve Benton (Ken Clark). Steve and his girlfriend, Nan Greyson (Jan Shepard) are rather uninteresting people, and for some reason we spend a lot of time with these dullards. Tyler McVey as Doc Greyson is equally dull, and eats up a lot of screen time.
The creatures themselves are classic Corman monsters, typically described as men wearing garbage bags. Perhaps that description is a bit too harsh, but it's not off by much. The more you see of the leeches, the worse they look. I imagine the hardest part for the actors was not laughing while the garbage bags sucked on them.
Attack of the Giant Leeches is a bad movie, but it is certainly good fun. The backwater swamp characters and dialog make for some amusing scenes. I found George Cisar as Lem Sawyer particularly entertaining. I was a little disappointed that he was killed off so quickly. In fact, a lot of the most interesting characters are killed off early in this picture. But I won't list any more names; I don't want to ruin the suspense for you.
This movie clocks in at just over an hour, and though it has its slow moments, the scenes with Yvette Vickers and Bruno VeSota make it worthwhile. You'll want to watch it more for laughs than chills, though.
Scene to watch for: Dave Walker (Bruno VeSota) sops the sweat off his face as he watches his wife (Yvette Vickers) lotion her legs.
Line to listen for: "I wouldn't touch that critter for all the money ever made! And if you seen it you wouldn't neither!"
FYI: This movie is also known as Attack of the Blood Leeches, Demons of the Swamp (UK), She Demons of the Swamp, and The Giant Leeches.
Mark's Rating: ! ! ! out of 5.

I want to use a socket (mysql) in multiple jails. Using nullfs to mount it in each jail where you want to use it does not work (bug in nullfs?). Using a hardlink (if the jails reside on the same FS) works. I hope this info safes a little bit of time in case someone tries to do the same.
The hostname MySQL sees in such a connection is "localhost". Maybe this is obvious to one or another, but because jails don't have a 127.0.0.1 it was not obvious to me.

50 Years Ago, Pratt & Whitney Engines Helped Bring Beatles to U.S.
Four dependable Pratt & Whitney engines powered the flight that brought the British Invasion to America. Fifty years ago today, Pratt & Whitney JT4A engines provided the power as The Beatles traveled to New York aboard a Boeing 707-300 bound for their first live television and concert appearances in the U.S.
The Beatles' itinerary on Feb. 7, 1964 is well documented. Pan Am Flight 101 from London touched down at John F. Kennedy International Airport at 1:20 p.m. John, Paul, George and Ringo were met by throngs of screaming fans and scores of reporters.
Photos and footage of the Fab Four offer clues about the aircraft that carried the band to the states. The aircraft's name – Jet Clipper Defiance – and its registration number – N704PA – are visible in many images from that day. Author Jim Winchester and a Logbook Magazine database of the Pan Am fleet identify that aircraft as a Boeing 707-331.
Jet Clipper Defiance was reportedly one of several 707s ordered by – but not delivered to – Trans World Airlines. The aircraft joined the Pan Am fleet instead. (Winchester, in his book, "Airlife's Classic Airliners: Boeing 707/720," identifies a delivery date of March 15, 1959. Logbook Magazine says March 23, 1960.) The 707-300 was powered by four Pratt & Whitney JT4A engines.
Pratt & Whitney turbojet and turbofan engines powered most models of the 707. The JT3C engine, a commercial version of the J57 military engine, powered the original 707-100. The JT4A, a commercial version of the J75, powered the -200 and -300. And the JT3D engine powered the 707-120B and -320B.
While in the U.S., The Beatles made two live appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" (New York on Feb. 9; Miami Beach on Feb. 16) and taped a third performance for broadcast on Feb. 23. The group also performed at the Washington Coliseum in Washington, D.C., and at Carnegie Hall in New York.
When the band returned to England on Feb. 22, 1964, Pratt & Whitney provided the power once again. Pan Am's N704PA – temporarily designated "Jet Clipper Beatles" – brought the group back to London. The scene was much the same as it had been in New York – with a crush of screaming fans and a huge press corps. On both sides of the Atlantic, it was Beatlemania.

Forbes Profiles kajeet Mom Sales Team
July 21, 2009
by Carol Politi
"A Phone For Kids And Moms" is an article by Forbes highlighting our very own Mom Sales Team here at kajeet! When we found that many of our customers had come to us because they were referred by other customers, and that most of our purchasers are moms, it occured to us that we should be tapping into this moms network more formally. Since November we have been testing a program where moms that like the kajeet service go out and sell our phones to other moms. This has worked out well for both kajeet and many of the moms, who are able to provide a highly personalized introduction to kajeet for potential customers through their personal relationships, school and church relationships, and social networking channels. Now that we are starting to slowly expand the team, our experienced salespeople will act as mentors to those that are new. We hope this will help jump start the sales process for the new moms as they will be able to take advantage of the hard work we have done over the past 8 months.

Master of Arts in Criminology
Thank you for your interest in our online Master of Arts Program in Criminology!
This curriculum is comprised of 10 three-credit hour courses (total of 30 credit hours). The MA in Criminology curriculum is comprised of 5 required courses (15 credit hours), 5 elective courses (15 credit hours), 1 research tool course (which is included in the required courses).
There is no thesis requirement, but students must complete a 3-credit hour research project and pass an oral examination (this is one of the required courses listed above). Every course in the curriculum is taught online which provides students with the opportunity to complete assigned reading materials, to submit assignments, to watch video recorded lectures, and to participate in class discussion boards during days and times of the week that are convenient for their personal schedules.
Our plan is to offer four courses each Fall semester, three courses in the Spring semester, two courses over the summer months, and one course during the 3-week winter term in January. This should provide students with the opportunity to complete the program in one calendar year.
Prospective students may use the links on the right to learn more about the application process, to read an overview of our MA in Criminology program, to learn about the curriculum, and to view a listing of our faculty and their areas of concentration. We have also posted our tentative schedule of course offerings in this new program over the next two calendar years.
How to Apply
If you wish to apply to our MA in Criminology graduate program, you may apply online by visiting the Office of Graduate Studies and Research website. The application process for our program requires applicants:
1) to submit an application
2) pay the application fee of $40
3) submit official Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores, and
4) submit official transcripts from all universities attended (WKU alumni do not need to submit official transcripts).
Applicants may also decide to submit a "non-degree" seeking application. This option is available to prospective students who would like to complete up to 12 credit hours of coursework (4 classes) before formally applying to our graduate program. Non-degree seeking applicants must complete the online application, pay the application fee, and submit all undergraduate and graduate level transcripts. However, applicants do NOT need to submit official transcripts or GRE scores until they apply as a "degree seeking" student. Please remember - only 12 credit hours (4 classes) can be taken as a non- degree seeking student before students must formally apply to our graduate program.

First mentioned in 1278, the Augustinian friary in Freiburg is almost as old as the town itself.
The chancel roof dating from the 14th century is the oldest in Freiburg after the one on the minster. At the beginning of the 18th century, the church was extended and remodelled in the baroque style, but the friary was secularised in 1810. The Augustinium Museum opened in 1923 and houses the municipal collections including medieval sculptures and pictures, baroque art, 19th century paintings, a collection of prints and drawings, and collections of applied arts and everyday culture.

CashParking FAQ
What is CashParking?
CashParking® is a service that lets you earn money on your parked domain names. If you associate your domains with your CashParking account, our advertising partner places context-relevant advertisements on your page. Each time a visitor clicks a displayed advertisement, you receive a share of the generated click-through revenue based on your CashParking plan (60% to 80% of the generated revenue). The amount you receive and the price you pay for the CashParking service depends on the plan you select. You can add an unlimited number of domains to your CashParking account.
Parked domains are domains that display a temporary Web page when someone enters your domain name in a Web browser.
How do I get paid for my CashParking commission?
To receive commission for your CashParking® account, you must select one of the following payment methods: direct deposit, PayPal®, Good As Gold, or personal check. The amount paid depends on your CashParking plan.
Electronic Payment Options
We make payments midway through the second month following the month they're earned. For example, we pay commission you earned in January in mid-March.
- Direct deposit payments are subject to a $10 minimum.
Note: We can submit electronic deposits only to U.S.-based bank accounts.
- PayPal is not subject to a minimum. To ensure that you can receive payments, see PayPal's International Payment Restrictions.
Note: If the payment amount exceeds $20,000 it will be split into two separate PayPal transactions.
- Good As Gold accounts are subject to a $5 minimum.
Note: If you do not earn the monthly minimum, your commission rolls over to the next month until your total earnings meet that amount.
Domestic (U.S.) Check Payments
U.S.-based check payments are subject to a $100 minimum. A $25 service fee is applied. If you do not earn the monthly minimum, your total commission rolls over to the following month until your total earnings reach the minimum.
We deduct the $25 service fee from the total amount paid.
Use one of the following payment methods to avoid service fees and lower your minimum amount:
- Direct Deposit
- PayPal
- Good As Gold
Checks are issued on approximately the 25th of each month.
International Check Payments
International check payments are subject to a $100 minimum, and there are no service fees. If you do not earn the minimum in a quarter, the total commission you earned rolls over to the next quarter until your earnings meet the minimum. We send checks to international customers approximately 45 days after the end of each quarter, on the following dates:
- Feb. 25, for commission earned Oct. 1 to Dec. 31
- May 25, for commission earned Jan. 1 to March 31
- Aug. 25, for commission earned Apr. 1 to June 30
- Nov. 25, for commission earned July 1 to Sept. 30
Cancellation Notice
If you cancel your account, a $15 service fee is deducted from the unpaid funds in your account. After all applicable fees, we pay the remaining balance using your selected payment option.
What is click fraud?
Click fraud is a common problem in Internet-based pay-per-click advertising programs. It is the act of clicking online advertisements for the purpose of generating a fraudulent or invalid per-click charge that increases the site owner's profits. Invalid clicks can be generated by manual action or through automated tools that imitate manual action.
We monitor all CashParking-related traffic for click fraud and take appropriate action, up to and including suspension or termination of a CashParking account, if clicks are found to be invalid or fraudulent.
Can I add a domain name registered elsewhere to CashParking?
If you registered your domain name elsewhere, you can monetize your domain name with us by selecting the CashParking plan you want to use and entering your domain name. You must change your nameservers through your current registrar to the CashParking nameservers:
Note: You must add your domain names to your CashParking account before changing your nameservers.
How is revenue generated?
Through our advertising partners, we place contextually relevant advertisements on your parked, CashParking domain names. Each time a visitor clicks one of the advertisements displayed on the page, our advertising partners pay a certain amount. That revenue is split between the service provider and the domain owner, in accordance with the applicable revenue-sharing plan. For example, CashParking customers who sign up for the 80% revenue share plan receive 80% of the generated revenue while the remaining 20% goes to the service provider.
The actual revenue generated when a visitor clicks an advertisement varies and is determined by the specific advertisement on which the visitor clicked. A number of factors define which advertisements display on your page, including the quality of your domain and the amount and nature of traffic your page receives.
CashParking revenue is reported with a delay of up to 48 hours. This delay ensures that the revenue displayed in your CashParking account shows your actual earnings, rather than a generic estimate.
How many domains can I associate with a CashParking account?
You can associate an unlimited number of domain names with your CashParking account, and you can add up to 500 domains at a time. Because you can associate an unlimited number of domains with a CashParking account and conveniently track and manage all of them through that one account, you only need one CashParking account. You can also upgrade or downgrade your revenue-sharing plan at any time.
What are the CashParking domain statuses, and what do they mean?
You may encounter the following domain statuses listed in your CashParking control panel:
- Pending
- The domain has been submitted and is currently in the process of resolving to the CashParking name servers.
- Pending Review
- The domain has been submitted and is currently being reviewed for eligibility in CashParking. Your domain should process within 1-2 business days.
- Active
- CashParking is active for the domain in question. The domain has been submitted and is resolved to the CashParking name servers.
- Ineligible
- The domain you have submitted has been reviewed and is not eligible for CashParking. Reasons for ineligibility could be due to, but are not limited to, potential trademark concern, qualification requirement from our upstream feed providers or domain ownership.
- Error
- An attempt was been made to add a domain that is not associated with your customer account; the domain is registered with us under a different shopper number. If you encounter this error and are the legal owner of the domain, log in to the account that contains the domain and add it to your CashParking account. If you have any questions, contact Customer Support.
- Removed
- You removed the domain from your CashParking account, or the domain was in Pending status for more than seven days, and we moved it to Removed status.
Why aren't advertisements displayed on my CashParking site?
Failure to display advertisements on your CashParking website might be caused by any of the following issues:
- Incorrect name servers
- Ensure that your domain name is set up with the CashParking nameservers.
- Inappropriate domains
- Advertisements might have been blocked due to the inappropriateness of your domain name. This will generally result in a "Removed" status for your domain name in the CashParking control panel.
- Expired membership
- If your CashParking account is allowed to expire, all domains are automatically removed from the CashParking account.
Why did I receive an error message when adding a domain name to my CashParking account?
There are a number of issues you may encounter when adding domain names to your CashParking account. The following list describes common errors and resolutions:
- The following domains are invalid or not supported by CashParking.
- Some top-level domains (TLDs) are not currently supported by CashParking and cannot be added to your account.
- Domain is already being monetized by someone else.
- The domain is currently active in a different CashParking account. A domain cannot be associated with more than one CashParking account at a time. If you encounter this error, contact Customer Support.
- Because of fraudulent activity, this account was suspended and most features are disabled.
- The account was suspended because it violated the Terms of Service agreement. You can log in to CashParking and access reports, but you cannot add or manage domains. If you have questions, contact Customer Support.
- Your CashParking subscription has expired.
- Because the subscription expired, your account was suspended and will be canceled if it isn't renewed. To continue using CashParking, renew your account.
Note: If a domain entered into your CashParking account is currently registered with us, but under a different shopper ID, that domain will be listed with "Error" as its status. If you are the legal owner of this domain, log in to the account that contains the domains and add the domain to your CashParking account. If you have any questions, contact Customer Support.
Why is my CashParking account suspended?

X Factor boss Simon Cowell told the actor who is to play him in a new musical: "Just go out there and be a d**k every night."
I Can't Sing! The X Factor Musical, penned by TV Burp's Harry Hill, has received Cowell's financial backing despite its savage lampooning of the song contest.
For authenticity's sake, Cowell advised leading man Nigel Harman, of EastEnders and Downton Abbey fame, to play up his trademark rudeness.
The 54-year-old mogul told The Sunday Times Culture supplement: "We had lots of people trying to do really serious versions of the show, but we just turned them down.
"When Harry used to take the p**s out of us on TV Burp, we all wanted to be the one he parodied.
"He knew we had banned the word 'journey' - they're not on a journey, they're on a talent show for a couple of weeks, so we fined anyone who used the word 'journey'.
"Then we banned the word 'dream' because it was getting out of control.
"Of course, when he pitched it to me, the first song they played was called Journey to a Dream. It made me laugh and I was in."
Speaking before the birth of his son Eric on Valentine's Day, Cowell added: "The deal I made with Harry was, 'I'm not going to change a word'.
"It is what it is. If it looks like I had an influence, it won't work."
The musical takes its inspiration from X Factor's chaotic 2010 season, which saw judge Cheryl Cole battle malaria, race rows, contestants with mental health and visa problems, and ludicrous performances.
Commenting on the show's thinly-veiled portrayal of Cole as a character called Jordy, Cowell said: "Cheryl is going to kill me when she sees it. I mean, seriously, I'm going to get it in the neck."
Harman explained that while he imitates classic Cowell mannerisms such as the way he stands and uses his hands, the performance delves into "a whole new realm of farce".
"People will sit in the audience and go 'I can't believe he's allowed this to happen,'" the 40-year-old said.
I Can't Sing! previews at the London Palladium from Thursday.

I'm siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!! (insert lots of whining, kvetching, moaning, and just general unpleasantness of personality here)
I swear to y'all, I have the WORST immune system! I started feeling unwell a couple of hours after Syd did--six hours after that, she's jumping up and down on the bed, and today, I'm still fainting while attempting to microwave the girls a Hot Pocket (guess whose husband did the grocery shopping this week?).
And so why am I sitting here, in my break between evening classes, alternately typing and laying my cheek on the cool, cool surface of my desk (likely teeming with germs), and not laying in my near-permanent at this point fetal position on the bed at home and trying to dream my way to my happy place?
Because I'm just that good of a teacher, my friends.
Is my halo showing?

Yeah, Kimberly's sick, too. She probably sent you virtual germs along with those virtual hugs. Look out!
I do hope you feel better soon, though. I can definitely see an angelic glow coming from around your head--Saint Julie, patroness of teachers and crafters.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
On the thermal image above you can see how things look on one of the PCBs of the new Gridseed G-Blade Scrypt ASIC in terms of temperature, the GC3355 chips of the device run pretty cool at about 40-50 degrees Celsius. These are the thermal images of the voltmodded Gridseed G-Blade ASIC that we have posted about. Do note that the thermal images are of the modified device with the additional cooling heat sinks attached to it, so the temperature of the voltage regulators is lower and the overall PCB temperature as well. You can use these if you plan on doing a voltage modification to your miners in order to see what are the possibly weaker spots – the components that get hot, in order to improve their cooling and to make sure that you will not overheat and burn your ASIC miner. We do recommend extreme caution when voltmodding the G-Blades as they are already pushed pretty close to their maximum by Gridseed and you do not have a lot of headroom for further gaining some extra performance. The power part of the Blade Miners is clearly not designed to handle much increase in the voltage, even though the GC3355 chips are just asking for more as we've seen with the smaller 5-chip ASIC devices from Gridseed.
Take a look at how hot the PCB gets (around 50 degrees Celsius) near the power connector and that is with about 85W of power consumption per PCB, a clear sign that the connector used is not the perfect choice for powering the G-Blades and while with the stock setup it might be Ok, you should be careful when you voltmod. Do note that we already have a large motherboard chipset heat sink attached to that side of the PCB and it does lower the overall temperature as well. It is placed on the back side of the PCB where the voltage regulators are and it helps to reduce their temperature, because the airflow from the cooling fan does pass through it as well and helps to keep it quite cool.
Looking at the side of the PCB where the voltage regulators are placed, thanks to the heat sink we have placed directly on the three VRMs their temperature is quite Ok, but there are other components that might have some issues with heat. These are the choke on the left of the voltage regulators on the photo and the 16V capacitor below the regulators as they both get to about 70 degrees Celsius in terms of temperature. And while they still do seem to work fine in the long run this may cause some issues, so you might consider replacing the capacitor with a more serious one.
Again we are going to advise you to be very careful should you consider doing a voltage modification to the new Gridseed G-Blade miners as it can be dangerous and you can easily damage your expensive miner. The modification here is not as easy as just replacing one resistor as you need to do cooling improvements as well and you are not able to push things too much to be on the safe side, so the hashrate increase is also not that big as compared to what you are getting without the modification. So you might really want to reconsider if it is worth doing the modification at all, we are probably not going to be modding another G-Blade for a while until we see how the voltage mod will handle on the longer run in its current state.
In the previous post with our first hands on experience with the new G-Blade miners we have mentioned a bit the topic about voltmodding the new Blade Miners. Now is the time to talk a bit more about it and share our experience based on the voltmod experiments we have already done on our G-Blade. We already said that the new G-Blade uses the same UPI Semiconductor UP1509 chip for controlling the voltage of the GC3355 chips as is used on the smaller 5-chip ASICs. So it is easy to do the voltage modification to the G-Blade as you are going to be essentially replacing the same resistor, though there is a bit of a difference in how things look on the new PCB. There are no element markings, so make sure you replace the right resistor marked on the photo above with a green circle with the 333 written on it. The resistor we are replacing is also a 33 kOhm one (~1.2V default), though here it is 603 type and not 402 like on the 5-chip ASIC devices, so it is easier to replace.
Do not be in a hurry to solder a new one before reading our advice. Since the default voltage of the GC3355 chips is 1.2V as on the smaller 5-chip ASIC miners here you can pretty much expect the same out of the box performance, though our tests have shown about 800 MHz to be the safest option in terms of how high you can go with no or very minimal HW errors, so a bit lower results than what we are seeing on the 5-chip ASICs. Also since the voltage regulators used on the new G-Blade are not that much powerful than the ones used in the 5-chip models you are not going to have the same safe headroom to increase the operating voltage of the chips, in fact you are actually pretty limited.
We were quite disappointed in how Gridseed has designed the cooling of the new G-Blade miners, and especially the use of a powerful and noisy fan to compensate for the lack of adequate cooling for the three VRMs. The CG3355 chips can easily be cooled with a silent and much lower RPM fan, however it seems that the powerful fan is there just to be able to ensure that the mosfets are kept cooler without having any radiators directly placed on them or on the back of the PCB where they are located. We are getting about 60 degrees temperatures of the IR mosfets at the standard voltage and operating frequency of 800 MHz, however as soon as we remove the fan the temperature of the VRMs starts to get higher very quickly while the CG3355 chips still remain pretty cool. By replacing the resistor marked above with a higher value one and increasing the operating voltage of the chips you can easily overload the voltage regulators and burn them in a matter of just a second without the fan and even with the fan running you can still burn them if they get too hot. So the moment you decide to voltmod the new Gridseed G-Blade you need to also think of improving the cooling of the voltage regulators a lot and not try to push the operating voltage of the chips too much, or you risk the VRMs easily overheating and burning up. We have used an old motherboard chipset radiator glued on the back of the PCB (with thermal glue) where the voltage regulators are placed, so that it can help in keeping them cool and have also placed a smaller video memory cooler directly on top of the regulators on the other side of the PCB.
We have slowly started increasing the operating voltage of the chips from the standard value of about 1.2V until we have reached 1.4V with the use of a 39 kOhm resistor and decided to stop there as we've already seen the voltage regulators getting quite hot. At this point we were aiming at a stable operating frequency of about 1000 MHz while keeping the device cooler and being on the safe side for the voltage regulators. With the 39 kOhm resistor replacing the standard 33 kOhm one we already saw the mosfets easily getting up to 90-100 degrees Celsius in about a minute (without the extra cooling). With our extra 2 radiators attached to the PCB and the chips we were able to bring the temperature below 70-75 degrees on the long run, so pretty much safe for leaving the miners run all the time like that, though you should continue to carefully monitor the temperatures. We have decided to stay at 39 kOhm, though pushing a bit more for like 40-41-42 kOhm with extra cooling might work, going for 47 or 49 kOhm may be a bit too much for the VRMs to handle. So be extra careful should you decide to go higher tan what we have used, though we do not recommend it, and monitor carefully the temperature of the voltage regulators as they may get very hot in no time and burn up without adequate cooling!
Here is what we are getting after replacing the resistor from the standard value of 33 kOhm to a 39 kOhm one. Running the device (only one of the PCBs is connected on the photo) at 1000 MHz seemed quite Ok with little HW errors, though we have decided to go a step lower in order to lower the HW errors a bit more. After some additional testing we have settled for 988 MHz as it brings down the HW errors up to something about 1-2 per hour which is much more acceptable than getting an error about every minute or so at 1000 MHz. The local hashrate at 988 MHz we are getting per PCB is close to 3.4 MHS or almost 6.8 MHS total for the whole miner with the 2 PCBs modified, up from about 2.6-2.8 MHS per board or about 5.2-5.6 MHS without the mod and the miner running at 800 MHz. The power usage per PCB after the voltage modification is about 85W or a total power consumption of about 170W for the whole modified miner.
The results we are getting are not bad, but do require you not only to solder a resistor, but also to improve cooling of the device. You also need to be extra careful should you decide do go even higher than what we have achieved as the voltage regulators might not be able to handle well the additional load or the temperature. It seems that with the G-Blades things were already pushed close to their limits by Gridseed, so there is not that much of headroom left for users to squeeze some extra performance for free by voltmodding the units. We are a bit disappointed by that, we kind of expected more, especially after seeing what the GC3355 chips were capable of in the smaller 5-chip devices. We are going to be doing some more tests and experiments in the next few days to see if we can get something better than what we are already getting, but the chances for some significant improvement are not that good.
Again we advise anyone willing to do a voltage modification to his Gridseed G-Blade ASIC miner to be extra careful as these devices are more expensive and can handle less abuse from the users as compared to the smaller 5-chip ASIC miners, so proceed with caution! The smaller 5-chip miners allowed more headroom as they were designed to handle much higher power usage because of the BTC mining part, but for the new G-Blade miners Gridseed has decided not to support the SHA-256 mining part (the chips do, but the device cannot supply enough power, so do not try to activate BTC mining or your miner may burn). So the headroom for overclocking without doing some modification related to the voltage regulators is actually very little with the new G-Blade ASIC devices, and working only on improving their cooling does help only a bit. Reworking the power part of the miner could open up some additional possibilities, but that is not something that most users can easily do themselves unlike the replacement of a single resistor for example. In short, if you are expecting performance boost on the bigger G-Blades like on the smaller 5-chip devices with a voltmod, you will be very disappointed, and the fact that after voltmodding the Blade Miner you might have trouble cooling it down properly for long term operation might not be worth the extra performance boost you will get.
Not long ago when Gridseed has announced the new 80-chip Blade Miner with an expected retail price of about $3000 USD we were not planning to buy any of these devices, but at the new $1600 USD price we have decided to order one and play with it. We just got our unit yesterday and have been playing with it since, so we are ready to share our first hands on experience with the new G-Blades. Soon after the announcement of the new Blade Miners we were able to do some remote testing of the performance, so you might want to check that out first if you still haven't read the post. Now, that we finally have the device in our hands we can say it performs pretty much the same as we've seen from our tests.
Starting with our first impressions, the new G-Blade Miner is a bit smaller than we have expected it to be, but that is not a problem. The thing that we did not like very much is the noisy fan – a 92mm fan is being used and a quite powerful one that can produce up to about 55 dB. The cooling radiators however do seem very cool after 24 hours running the device, so the fan does its job perfectly fine, however we suspect that with a quieter fan we could have achieved the good cooling performance and much quieter operation. The fan is directly powered by 12V from of the PCBs of the miner, so there is no temperature based control for example and it runs at maximum RPM all of the time.
A single Gridseed G-Blade ASIC Miner consists of 2 PCBs that are attached into a single device, each of the PCBs has 40 GC3355 chips and has separate power and control logic built in. So essentially you get two separate miners each with 40 chips packaged in a single device.
Do note that the cooling radiators are at the back of the PCB and not directly on top of the chips, this is the easier way to do things, especially if the chips don't get too hot, as you use the back of the PCB as a cooler as well. There is a thermal pad between the PCB and the radiator on the back and apparently with the powerful fan there are absolutely no problems for cooling the Gridseed GC3355 chips.
Now, the actual problem is with the parts of the PCB that is not covered by the radiator – the place where the power and control chips are located as well as the connectors for the power supply and the USB port for control of the miner. The weakest point in terms of cooling actually do seem to be the voltage regulators and the powerful fan is some kind of a not-so-good solution to address the issue with the VRMs getting quite hot without getting a serious airflow. Gridseed uses International Rectifier 5300 and 5302 power mosfets and while these are a bit better than the ones used on the 5-chip ASICs, they are not much more powerful to handle serious increase in the power consumption. In fact they are not capable of supporting the power consumption that the GC3355 chips would require if they are used in BTC mining mode, so that is why Gridseed does advertise the new miners only as Scrypt capable and warns users not to try to mine BTC with them.
The good news for people that are interested in voltmodding these new G-Blade miners is that the voltage control part is again controlled by UPI Semiconductor UP1509 Single-Phase Synchronous-Rectified Buck Controller with 2-Bit VID Input control, just like on the smaller ASICs from Gridseed. So you can easily increase the operating voltage by replacing a single resistor, however we do warn you to be extra careful in doing so, especially with higher value resistors as the voltage regulators will not be able to handle voltages as high as on the smaller ASIC miners. Another good news is that the resistor you need to replace here on the G-Blade is a 603 type and not the smaller 402 type used in the 5-chip ASIC devices, so you can have less trouble replacing it. We have already done a voltage mod to our G-Blade and are currently running tests on the device, so shortly we are going to publish a little more details about that, meanwhile we warn you not to be in a hurry to mod yours as you can very easily damage the device. And using a 47 or 49 kOhm resistor will most likely be a bit too much for the VRMs to handle and you can easily blow them up in a matter of seconds without the appropriate cooling or even with such!

Recompose, the latest piece of technological innovation to come out of MIT's Media Labs, is in many ways unclassifiable. It's a user interface whose design part gesture-based, part touch-based, and entirely ambiguous in its purpose. Still though, it's intriguing.
Each tile in the array is powered by an actuator. You can interact with the tiles directly, or you can wave your hands around, not unlike a puppeteer, and the tiles will rise and fall appropriately. Further more, it can also serve as an output device, providing represenations of maps or data points. But the real magic of Recompose is comes through in the video. Stop reading and just click play.
