In Win Dragon Rider Review
There isn't a single case out there that is exactly like another. Every case has its own upsides, and in some cases downsides. Cases are bought for looks especially and for many other reasons as well. When looking for a case, what features do you find important? I know for sure any good setup needs cooling and any good case at least needs to have good internal airflow. A case is not simply just a shell to protect your components - it must also keep them cool. Today I have for review a rather well-featured case from In Win. I must admit - each successive In Win case I have gotten has impressed me more and more with the features brought to the table and the Dragon Rider is no exception. The Dragon Rider comes standard packed to the limit with fans. Provided are a 200mm side intake and one 120mm fan for every other panel on the case including the top, front, and side panel opposite the 220mm side intake. All in all included are 4 fans. Of course, the list of features runs a lot further but this would just run on if I put it all in here, so read on.
Closer Look:
Not only is the case well featured but from the get go, it is well represented on the box, which features rather good cover art of a Knight and Dragon as well as the case its self nestled in the bottom right hand corner. Next up though is the back of the box, which shows just the case by itself but from the other side which shows the 120mm side LED fan. Next up is the side of the box displaying the features and last up is the side of the box depicting the table of specifications.
Upon opening the box we are greeted by the front of the case which has been put in back first. On top on the left and right you can see the package of screws and hardware as well as another bag which contains something else very special to this case. As with some cases this one is sandwiched in between two pieces of foam packing material and it has been put inside a bag.
There is plenty yet left to see so why not move on and take a closer look.

Tampa Bay Tech defensive end Tony Guerad confirmed late Wednesday night that he has committed to UCF, the 12th commitment for the Knights' 2013 recruiting class.
Guerad, a 6-foot-3, 256-pounder, is the third defensive end in the 2013 class, but the first one with true college defensive end-type physique. The other two commitments listed as defensive ends in high school, Blake Keller (6-2, 215) of Bradenton Manatee and Seyvon Lowry (6-3, 225) of Jacksonville First Coast, have a more suitable build to play linebacker.
Time will tell once these players get on campus and Keller plays much bigger than his listed 215. He looks like he's more toward 230. College training tables and weight programs also have a way of dictating future positions.
Guerad visited UCF three weeks ago for the Knights' home game against FIU and was waiting for the offer to come. It did and on Wednesday he jumped on it.
He had 12 other scholarship offers, including FIU, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Syracuse and Iowa State.
Guerad is teammates with WR Richard Benjamin, who had committed to UCF in July before pulling back his pledge in late August. UCF could still be in the picture for Benjamin, who lists Louisville, Texas A&M and West Virginia among his top four, along with the Knights, according to Rivals.com.

Whites are not so crazy about blacks, that's why whites move when blacks move into white neighborhoods. If Obama was more than half black and looked like Samuel L. Jackson he wouldn't be president.
That. You can't talk about it, but that.
It's a basic question.
What policy or action does (D) take that so overwhelmingly wins over both these ethnic groups. Specificly.

That. You can't talk about it, but that.
1. AAs are welfare junkies who don't want to work. (Part of the 47%)
2. Illegal immigrants (which includes friends and families of Latino citizens) are bankrupting the county and should all be deported.
Don't ask questions to which you already know the answers.
Like I said in the other thread, the black vote is gone now. No chance for Reps to ever crack 10% again.
The Latino vote can be won back though. Latinos share many conservative values about religion, family and even fiscal conservatism. Reps just have to stop alienating them with the "self-deportation" nonsense. Lets secure the borders, make becoming a citizen easier for people and not threaten to deport their families, many of which have children.
That and Rubio heading the ticket in 2016. Latinos will come back.
Forgot to mention. The GOP needs to stop letting the Democrats and liberal media define them as anti-woman b.c of one or two knuckleheads. Republicans are under a microscope and the littlest thing will be blown out of proportion. They need to police themselves and get rid of these loons.
It is simple. Win back some women and appeal to Latinos who are the fastest growing population.

I wouldn't be surprised if more whites go back to the Republican party since it's perceived that the minorities drove this election (actually Republicans blew it themselves). This was really an unusual race, a horrible republican candidate and a half black democratic candidate who isn't seen as threatening to whites. Hilary Clinton isn't exactly Miss Popularity outside of the tri-state area, a decent Republican candidate can beat her. They've got four years, they just need to put some thought into it.
Why do white people watch guys drive cars in circles and call it a sport?
Why do white people live in trailers in hurricane and tornado prone areas?
Why do black people like Hennesey?
Why do Greeks like the buttsecs?
Why are Asians good at making small automobiles?

First of all, thanks a lot for making such a wonderful plugin. I used clouflare free ssl then installed your plugin. Everything is working fine as of now. So, do I need to change anything in Htaccess file?
I checked your redirect on the http domain, it is already 301 redirected. So you're fine.
Hi Rogier,
Seems my site is SSL Safe on the backend (dashboard) but not on the front end?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
I can see a 301 redirect to https, and a nice secure lock on your site. Looks fine to me!
I understood that I must create property all my URLs in case 4. Well, my site had as main URL http: // www on it was my site map and my international follow up. Now my main URL is https: // www and here is my question. Do I have to leave the map site in the new URL and do the international follow-up configuration only for https: // www?
Yes, I would reset all these to your new url, that's the best.
After switching to https I see my website disappearing from Google searches.
Websites that have a 301 redirect (you can check here:

A new report shows that over the last year , retail rents either stayed flat or declined in major retail corridors — except for Times Square, where rent continued to go up. Soho, Madison Avenue, Herald Square, and Upper Fifth Avenue all saw declines; average asking rents on Fifth between 49th and 60th streets in particular dropped 18 percent between this year and last year. But Times Square asking rents have ticked up, and the spaces in Union Square and Flatiron District are still "in great demand." Vacancy has dropped 3 percent and asking rent has stayed flat.

Using nunjucks in the browser takes a little more thought because you care about load and compile time. On the server-side, templates are compiled once and cached in memory and you never have to worry about it. On the client-side however, you don't want to compile templates even once, as it would result in slow page render time.
The solution is to precompile your templates into JavaScript, and load them as a simple
file on page load.
Maybe you do want to dynamically load templates while developing, however, so that you can see changes immediately without recompiling. Nunjucks tries to adapt to whatever workflow you want.
The only rule you must follow: always precompile your templates in production . Why? Not only is it slow to compile all your templates on page load, they are loaded synchronously over HTTP, blocking the whole page. It is slow. It does this because nunjucks isn't async by default.always precompile your templates in production
These are two of the most popular ways to set up nunjucks on the client-side. Note that there are two different js files: one with the compiler, nunjucks.js, and one without the compiler, nunjucks-slim.js. Read Getting Started for a brief overview of the differences.
See Precompiling for information on precompiling templates.
This method will give you a setup that dynamically loads templates while developing (you can see changes immediately), but uses precompiled templates in production.
An optimization is to use
instead of
in production since you are using precompiled templates there. It's 8K instead of 20K because it doesn't contain the compiler. This complicates the setup though because you are using different js files between dev and prod, so it may or may not be worth it.
This method always uses precompiled templates while developing and in production, which simplifies the setup. However, you're going to want something that automatically recompiles templates while developing unless you want to manually recompile them after every change.
With this method, there are no differences between development and production code. Simply commit the templates.js file and deploy the same code to production.
To precompile your templates, use the
script that comes with nunjucks. You can pass it a directory or a file and it will generate all the JavaScript for your templates.
All you have to do is simply load
on the page, and the system will automatically use the precompiled templates. There are zero changes necessary.
There are various options available to the script. Simply invoke
to see more info about them. Note that
names of all asynchronous filters need to passed to the script
since they need to be known at compile-time. You can pass a comma-delimited list of async filters with
, like
-a foo,bar,baz
. If you only use normal synchronous filters, you don't need to do anything.
In developed countries, older data estimated that the prevalence of marginal magnesium deficit is 15%–20% of the population.
This corroborates more recent data indicating that around 10%–30% of a given population has subclinical magnesium deficiency based on serum magnesium levels <0.80 mmol/L.
The 2006 National Health and Nutrition Survey found low serum concentrations of magnesium in 36.3% and 31% of female and male Mexican adults, respectively.
The authors of the study concluded: 'Low serum concentrations of…magnesium are published for the first time and show significant prevalence of deficiencies',
and up to 20% of the general population has low serum magnesium levels.
Superspeed Bra Superdry Eastbay Cheap Online RDFMjhY
A systematic review of 37 articles discovered that magnesium deficiency was a possible public health concern for older adults. 32
Magnesium deficiency has been found in 84% of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis diagnosed by low magnesium trabecular bone content and Thoren's magnesium load test.

Among apparently healthy university students in Brazil, 42% were found to have subnormal magnesium status (based on plasma or erythrocyte magnesium levels). 13 The average magnesium intake was only around 215 mg/day. Magnesium depletion has been found in 75% and 30.8% of patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes based on serum and intracellular magnesium status, respectively.

Magnesium deficiency can be present despite normal serum magnesium levels.

Approximately 20% of 381 unselected elderly men and women (most of them in their 80s) were found to have low erythrocyte potassium and magnesium levels. The authors of the study concluded: 'This study underlines the large prevalence of magnesium and potassium deficiencies in the elderly'. 35 Another study concluded: 'The commonly designated low limit of the normal range…is below levels that exist in patients with marginal deficiencies that can predispose to development of pathologic findings, so that the prevalence and importance of this disease is insufficiently considered…It is a statistical error to use the confidence limits of the normal population as the exclusion limit for those with abnormal Mg status'. 36 In other words, our normal range of serum magnesium is inaccurate and that serum magnesium levels at the lowerend of normal likely suggest marginal magnesium deficiency. 29 Indeed, 'The magnesium content of the plasma is an unreliable guide to body stores: muscle is a more accurate guide to the body content of this intracellular cation'. 37
Another study highlighting the discrepancy between serum and body magnesium levels concluded: 'Although serum-K and serum-Mg values in patients receiving long-term treatment for hypertension or incompensated heart disease usually are normal, muscle-Mg and muscle-K contents are reduced in around 50% of these patients…Evaluation of the K and Mg status during diuretic treatment should be preferentially based on tissue determinations. The muscle biopsy method is rapid, reliable and may reveal conditions of deficiency…oral supplements of Mg have proved to be adequate to restore the normal K/Mg status'. 38

Can you imagine going from one child to six, in five minutes? Missionary couple Gavin and Carrie Jones are parents to the first set of quintuplets born this year. Will, David, Seth, Marcie and Grace (that's three boys and two girls) are stable in the NICU at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Born at 27 weeks, the babies required a team of 50 doctors and nurses for their quick c-section delivery, and ranged in weight from 1 pound, 12 ounces to 2 pounds, 11 ounces. The couple, who work in Papua New Guinea supporting bible translation in the country's more than 200 languages, also have an 8-year-old son, Isaac. It's unclear when they will be able return home to the South Pacific.
Plus: Enormous Baby Born in Texas Hospital
Although having quintuplets is extremely rare (on average, there are about 12 sets born each year), what we find really surprising is that these multiple were not a result of IVF. However, the couple did use injections to conceive.
Stay up-to-date on the quints' progess by following their blog.

Wait, aren't the Lakers the old, decrepit, beat-down team in town?
And aren't the Clippers supposed to be the young, fresh, new kids on the block?
Could have fooled me Friday, what with the first-place Clippers limping into their Hallway Series matchup with the Lakers without super-sub Jamal Crawford, who sat out with a left foot injury, and everyone from Lamar Odom to Matt Barnes dealing with some sort of physical ailment – including the nasty sinus migraine Caron Butler played through after missing the team's morning shoot around.
And that's not to mention Chauncey Billups, whose left foot injury has sidelined him the last three weeks, and Grant Hill, who still hasn't played this year with a right knee bruise.
"We're running out of players," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro quipped beforehand.
It didn't seem to matter, at least not against a Lakers team sorting through so many issues it would take from now until the All-Star break to touch on all of them.
And who knows how much longer to fix – if that's even possible.
In that sense the Lakers were the perfect tonic for the Clippers to break out of their mini two-game slump – depleted roster and all.
And if there was any doubt left who the kings of Los Angeles are, well, considered them quelled after the Clippers tidy little 107-102 victory in front of a decidedly red and white dominated sellout crowd at Staples Center.
Let's face it, if the full-strength Lakers can't deal with a shorthanded Clippers team what hope do they have once the Clippers have their entire roster?
But that's the thing with the Clippers; someone goes down, someone steps up, their next-man in philosophy carrying them through injury issues all the way to the top of the NBA.
With Crawford out, the Clippers leaned a bit harder on back-up point guard Eric Bledsoe and asked starters Chris Paul, Willie Green and Butler to give just a little more than usual.
It didn't matter the Clippers faced a back-to-back situation tonight, hosting the Golden State Warriors, or they're at the tail end of brutal stretch of four games and five nights.
"No excuses," Del Negro insisted.
None needed, not against the Lakers, anyway. They just keep fading and fading further from the Clippers in the Pacific Division, by now a mere speck in the Clippers' rear-view mirror as they cruise through the first half of the season.
They toyed with the Lakers for most of Friday, opening leads as big as 18 points, withstanding an obligatory Lakers run or two only to flex their muscles again and widen their lead.
And at the end of a long night – and one more mighty Lakers run – the Clippers collected themselves over the final minute behind the mastery of Chris Paul to hang on for the win.
It all seemed so familiar, in execution if not part designation.
It seemed so Lakers-like, if you catch my drift.
Shocking, isn't it, how the NBA landscape has changed in Los Angeles?
How many times have we seen the Lakers beat up on the Clippers in these games over the years, padding their win total on the way to Western Conference titles and NBA supremacy?
Those days seem so long ago now, although an obvious role reversal once Paul landed with the Clippers rather than the Lakers last year in a trade coup the purple and gold will need years to recover from.
The Lakers' plan was to first bring in Paul, with the trade for Dwight Howard the final stroke in a masterful piece of artwork that would catapult them into a bright new era.
But as we all know now, they only completed half the portrait.
Depending on whom you believe, the NBA either hid the Lakers' paint brush by nixing the Paul trade or they were just the victim of circumstance.
Bottom line, it didn't happen.
And the Lakers will pay dividends on that failure for years.
Worse, the Clippers swooped in and acquired Paul, adding him to dynamic power forward Blake Griffin and then constructing a perfectly balanced supporting cast of youth, experience and young, experienced and talented.
All of a sudden the funny-looking, pimply faced little brother the Lakers used to punch around sprouted into full-fledged Ultimate Fighting machine.
Meanwhile the Lakers just aged before our eyes.
And it's the kind of old that can't take advantage of a young gun even on one of his slower days.
In that sense, the Clippers Friday found the perfect tonic for their two-game funk.
My, how things have changed around here.

My Highlights from ARCOmadrid
María de Corral
How we stage our surroundings and how these surroundings become the scenery of both festive and tragic moments, recurring home rituals, and lonely daydreams are the subjects that interest Hans Op de Beeck. Utilizing diverse media—including installations, sculptures, video works, animated films, short stories, paintings and drawings, photography, new media, and stage design—Op de Beeck creates deserted scenes that can evoke both peacefulness and melancholia; they can be experienced as beautiful or uncomfortable, as banal or serious. A House by the Sea (2010), for example, was an eerily monochrome model house, presented in a gallery surrounded by drawings of of land- and seascapes.

The piece starts with a choir and a dark soundscape over laid with violin FX and horn FX. Underneath a deep reso synth bass provides a pulsing slowly joined by a higher saw based synth arpeggio. This builds to a heavy rock middle which eventually drops out back to the sinister dark feelings of the intro. This piece is ideal for horror action elements, or anything that requires a modern cinematic style horror track.

WASHINGTON – Boeing has developed a plan that it intends to propose to federal regulators to temporarily fix problems with the 787 Dreamliner's batteries that have kept the planes on the ground for more than a month, a congressional official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner is expected to present the plan to Michael Huerta, head of the Federal Aviation Administration, in a meeting on Friday, the official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly.
Boeing Co. spokesman Marc Birtel said the company doesn't talk in advance about meetings with federal officials.
"Everyone is working to get to the answer as quickly as possible, and good progress is being made," Birtel said.
After a battery caught fire on a plane parked in Boston and a smoking battery led to an emergency landing by another plane in Japan, the FAA and overseas aviation authorities grounded all 50 of the planes in service worldwide. The 787 is Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced plane. It was supposed to exemplify the future of commercial aviation, but the groundings have been a major public black eye and financial drain for Boeing, which vies with Airbus for the position as the world's largest commercial aircraft maker.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the battery fire in a Japan Airlines 787 that was discovered shortly after the plane landed at Boston's Logan International Airport on Jan. 7. Japanese authorities are investigating a battery failure in a 787 that made an emergency landing nine days after the fire. Investigators have said the batteries experienced short-circuiting and thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that causes progressively hotter temperatures, but they haven't found the root cause of the incidents.
Boeing hasn't said how much the 787 grounding will cost it. Imperial Capital analyst Ken Herbert estimated last week that it could cost Boeing $25 million a month in direct costs, with the total price tag climbing past $1 billion, including spending to fix the problem and expenses for delayed deliveries.
Boeing is still building five 787s each month, and has said it still wants to speed up to 10 a month by the end of the year. The company had orders for 800 of the planes at the time they were grounded.
It would take a delay of more than a couple of months for Boeing to back away from its speed-up plan, UBS analyst David Strauss wrote in a note on Wednesday.
Eight airlines in seven countries have 787s in their fleets. United Airlines, the only U.S. carrier with 787s, has cut its five 787s out of its schedule through the end of March. The grounding has been the most disruptive for Japan's All Nippon Airways, which has 17 of the planes.
LOT Polish Airlines is losing $50,000 a day due to the grounding of its two Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes, according to information made public by the Polish government on Wednesday. One of LOT Polish Airlines' 787s was stranded in Chicago by the grounding. LOT is still waiting for six more 787s to be delivered, several of them early this year.

UH Manoa investigates effects of munitions disposed near Pearl HarborUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Senior Research Scientist, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology
Marcie Grabowski, (808) 956-3151
Outreach Coordinator, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
Starting on March 29, 2014, a full array of state-of-the-art technologies including several owned and operated by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's School of Ocean Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) will be used in the latest phase of an Army-funded research effort to further investigate sea-disposed military munitions. This research will take place south of Pearl Harbor at an area designated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) as the Hawaiʻi-05 (HI-05) site.
HI-05 is a deep-water site that contains both conventional and chemical military munitions.(Consistent with an internationally accepted practice at the time, DoD disposed excess, obsolete or unserviceable munitions, including chemical warfare material, in ocean waters off the United States prior to 1970, at which time DoD discontinued this practice. Congress subsequently prohibited sea disposal of waste materials into the ocean in 1972.) UH is undertaking this research in partnership with the U.S. Army, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Environet Inc., a local environmental consulting firm.
This effort is a continuation of previous research that used towed sidescan sonars, the Hawai'i Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) submersibles and remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs) to locate and assess the effects of the ocean environment on sea-disposed munitions and sea-disposed munitions on the ocean environment and those who use it. During a 15-day research program in 2009, UH researchers imaged approximately 2,500 conventional munitions and collected sediment and water samples within 2 meters of 20 conventional munitions as well as biota samples from the area containing munitions. At these distances, no munitions constituents -- materials originating from military munitions including explosive and non-explosive materials, such as metals, and degradation, or breakdown products -- were detected in the samples collected.
In 2012, a follow-on field program used the same tools to sample within 2 meters of likely chemical munitions. Analyses of sediment samples collected less than 2 meters from munitions show the presence of mustard agent and its degradation products. Shrimp scavenging nearby and sea stars living directly on top of munitions exhibited no trace of contamination from chemical constituents. The upcoming program will focus on these munitions to determine if there have been any changes in biota, sediment, and water chemistry while testing the ability of UH's new ROV, Lu'ukai, to collect these samples.
Said Mr. Hershell Wolfe, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health: "The Army supports this phase of the Hawaiʻi Undersea Military Munitions Assessment because it believes it will close additional knowledge gaps about the potential impact of sea disposed munitions on the ocean environment and those that use it. DoD expects the results of this effort, like those of previous HUMMA phases will provide DoD and the international community significant benefits. Although this is the final phase of the Army's planned research of this area, the Army expects its benefits will include development of more efficient procedures, improvement of its understanding of the potential effects of sea-disposed munitions on the ocean environment, and development of methods to use remotely operated vehicles to effectively study sea-disposal sites."
During this phase of the research, the UH Research Vessel Kilo Moana will deploy the ROV Lu'ukai to collect sediment and biological samples adjacent to selected munitions and at control sites for laboratory analysis. Chemical analysis of the samples for munitions constituents, including explosives and chemical agents, will be performed on board the ship to ensure personnel safety. The U.S. Army's Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center is providing chemical safety and analytical support for this effort.
"The Hawaiʻi Undersea Military Munitions Assessment, or HUMMA, has dramatically increased our understanding of what is happening at historical sea disposal sites," stated UH Principal Investigator Dr. Margo Edwards. "We've been able to bound the areas affected, characterize the method of disposal to focus on specific types of munitions, and measure the infiltration of munitions constituents into the surrounding sediments at levels on the order of parts per million. We have also collected specimens living in direct contact with the munitions, but have not found evidence to suggest that the munitions constituents are affecting them. In contrast, our research shows that several types of animals use the munitions as habitats."
"We have been sharing the methods developed and results discovered by UH at international meetings in support of an open dialogue for a global problem," added Edwards. In that spirit, the upcoming expedition will host observers from Australia and Europe who will gain direct experience with the approaches and tools used to investigate sea disposal in Hawaiian waters. These international partnerships support a primary goal of UH's Hawaiʻi Innovation Initiative (HI2) -- broadly transitioning our research and knowledge to enhance global understanding.
A special peer-reviewed, public journal describing the results from HUMMA and comparing them with findings from the Baltic Sea is scheduled for publication by the end of 2014. The Army will make its report of this research publicly available once the data has been evaluated and the report has been approved. The Army does not anticipate this report being released prior to January 2015.

Dolphin gets Frisky: Artist Focus - DJ & Producer
~ Dolphin gets Frisky: Artist Focus ~
Liverpool based DJ and Producer, Frisk is one of few true junglists representing Merseyside right now. The award-winning artist first became interested in DJing when some of his friends got turntables, inspiring him to start off his own collection, and it didn't take long for the DJ to make himself known in his hometown of Liverpool.
From playing at house parties and after parties, Frisk began playing out on the club circuit, and not just in Liverpool, but around the UK and parts of Europe.
Frisk claims that learning music theory from a young age provided a great platform for his music making, giving him the skills and knowledge he needed to produce "real" music, not just recordings put together from a bunch of synth samples and preset rhythms like many other "DJs" do.
"This was an ideal basis for all my future music projects. If you know your keys and patterns it's easy to compose any genre of music."
In 2003, Frisk entered his first professionally produced track 'How to Drop a Bomb' into BBC 1Xtra's cutting room competition, which he won and received his first dubplate. Frisk also won the 'Deadline' (originally produced by Digital) Remix Project competition, came runner up in the Run Tingz Recordings 'informer' , and also in the EZ Rollers, 'Crowd Rocker' Remix competitions - adding yet more dubplates to his growing collection.
It took a couple of years to develop his recognisable D&B/Jungle "sound", then he was soon one of the most well known DJs on the D&B scene of the North West. But playing the same tracks as other D&B DJ's in the city was never going to be enough for this guy, and it was his desire to take his work further, be different and unique that acted as the catalyst for his compositional journey.
Exclusive interview with Frisk @ Dolphin HQ
How did you first become interested in music?
Frisk: I played guitar a long time ago. When I was younger I really wanted to play guitar, didn't to listen to any "rave" music as I called it back then. I was really into rock and bands and I wanted to play guitar, my mum and dad got me a guitar so I learnt how to play, learnt music and it's all just gone on from there really.
"It's rave, but it's 'alright' rave!"
Yeah, there came to a point in my life when I was going out to clubs and then I started getting into 'rave'... I think it was the prodigy was a turning point, as soon as I heard some of their music I was like ooh this is rave but it's "alright" Rave, and then that opened the doors to everything else then so I've got the best of both worlds. There's always this thing between ravers and rockers, but I'm a raver rocker.
How long have you been composing your own music for?
If you include making stuff up on the guitar, about 20 years now. I started writing my own tunes on my guitar when I was 14 and I'm 34 next year. Yeah, 20 years worth of making music, stuff that's good enough for release I'd probably say 11 years, it took 9 years to get to grips with it all, and find my feet.
Which do you prefer, the tech side or the performance?
The tech side! When I was in a band you had to rely on other people, you know, when I'm me I get to decide how everything goes, so I'm my own boss, I like it, there's no arguments between band members.
How would you describe your style?
My style? My style of Drum & Bass and Jungle, it's like the older stuff but with the production of today. Back then no one really knew how to use the all equipment properly, so they got a vibe down, so they got the sound and they put it out. With today's standards of mastering and EQing you can't mix a tune from, say 10 years ago because production-wise, they're just so different. People really produce the a** out of their tunes these days, I find, they make the tune then they get in the studio and produce it and it just doesn't have the original sound that it had, and that's what the old skool music used to have for me. I like to think I have the best of both worlds I've got that old skool vibe but with new style, like today's production values.
Do you prefer digital or analogue?
Oooh, that's a very good question, erm... they've both got their advantages! They really have both got their advantages. Everything I make is digital, I don't really use any hardware synths or anything like that, it's all like software, so I couldn't really say I'm analogue as such because I don't really use those mediums, but my last two releases have both been on vinyl which is kinda "analogie" isn't it really, they're not digital releases. I dunno, I like them both!
What is the most important element of your music?
Energy! Energy! I mean I don't really tend to stick to one style of D&B or Jungle cos there's so many, I just make stuff that's got high energy, so I'm not just appealing to one part of the genre I'm trying to appeal to everyone. The way see it is like, when I first started goin' out and ravin', if I was having a conversation with someone and I heard a tune come on that I really liked, I'd stop the conversation and be like, "I'll be back in 5 minutes, I've gotta go and dance to this man" you know just like p****d walking across the floor like. So I try to make tunes that would make people want to stop a conversation to come and dance, and I think that I achieve that.
Would you say your music's intended to make people get up and move or is it more so an "energy" that in any way affects people?
It's an energy that will affect people to the point of getting up and moving, really! [laughs]
So do you have any slower tracks?
Erm, I do, but the stuff that I'm known for is high energy D&B and Jungle. I do have side projects that some people get to hear, you know like bits of hip hop and R&B and reggae but it's not really what I'm known for making.
What is your favourite composition?
Oooh, tough one. It's one of my latest releases, it's either the one that came out today which is 'Police in Helicopter' on Necessary Bass, or it's 'Hypnotic' which came out on Wicked Vinyl in Austria. 'Hypnotic' is probably the latest one I've finished, but for overall vibe it's between those two, definitely.
Where has been your favourite place to perform?
Austria! Austria without a doubt. It's called Flex Club in Vienna, the night's called Wicked, and the guy who runs it, Wicked Squad, he's like one of the best people to go over and like perform for because he really looks after you as an artist and the club... is just amazing, it's like I've never played on anything like it in this country, it's [stutters] sick!
It's custom built, the sound system is custom built for the club so the stage that you're performing on is actually a bass bin that's tailored to the dimensions of the room. I remember the last time we were over the guy who does all the audio engineering took us underneath the stage and showed us all the bits of hardware that stop it from getting feedback and stuff, and it stretches right out behind the stage. It's like truly amazing the system in there, it's the best, second to none.
What gear do you use?
What gear do I use? Make all my stuff with FL Studio by Image Line; I use sE microphones to record the artists, and that's pretty much it to be honest. I do all my mixing and mixdowns in FL Studio, what I make it in. I don't use any soft synths, it's all audio, all .wavs in my DAW. So yeah, it doesn't really take up too much room, keeps me quiet and outta trouble... sometimes.
"Keeps me quiet and outta trouble, sometimes"
Do you work with or collaborate with other production artists?
I try to, I've got like say 2 or 3 tunes, 2 or 3 tunes with someone sat in with me and we made a tune together, and... Argh! I'll admit it; I'm a hard person to work with, cos I've got my own way of doing things and there's people who come around and we've been in the studio together and I've started pottering around doing something and they've said "why don't you do this like this", and I've thought, that wouldn't... sound very good! So I'd just do it my way, and tend to find I just get carried away you know, I'll just sit there and they'll say "change that bit like that" and I'll change it and it won't sound right and then I'll fiddle with it till it sounds how I want it, by which time they've already got bored, so I'm just like "right, okay, guess I am kinda hard to work with".
What do you see/hope for in your musical future?
It would be good if things carried on developing the way they are at the moment, and would always be nice to get more gigs out in Europe and the rest of the world. I always used to say I'd like to have my own label if I got asked this question but in all honesty I do not have the time to manage one right now with trying to balance my time between work, music and my life in general - It can get quite hectic at times. Working with already established labels is always a better look than trying to start your own from scratch, especially in today's climate where the internet has given anyone has the ability to start up a digital label and start trading. At least when working with an already established label some of the hard work is done for you, there is still a big element of promotion involved but not as much as would be needed with a new one.
So yeah, in a nutshell, more of the same please; more DJ-ing work, more track releases and more work with other artists would be great.

Two-day inauguration for Obama second term
Washington, January 20, 2013
President Barack Obama will take the official oath of office in a small, private ceremony at the White House on Sunday, setting a more subdued tone for his second inauguration than his historic swearing-in four years ago.
Obama will still be sworn in publicly outside the US Capitol on Monday with all the traditional pomp, but that event will be mostly for show.
Technically, Sunday is the only one that really counts according to the Constitution, which mandates that the president be sworn in on Janaury 20.
Compared to the momentous atmosphere of Obama's first inauguration, the mood will be different this time.
A bitter 2012 election fight, stubbornly high unemployment and fiscal showdowns - both past and still looming - have tempered the hope that Obama symbolised when he took office after sweeping to victory on a mantle of change as America's first black president.
This time the crowds are expected to be smaller and enthusiasm surrounding the event diminished.
"For a lot of people, this is kind of old hat," said Russell Riley, an expert on presidential rhetoric at the University of Virginia. "The newness and excitement around the president's first history-making inauguration has given way to time-worn political reality."
On Sunday, following a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Obama will be sworn in at the White House at 11:55 am EST (1655 GMT). That portion will be private - except for a limited media presence - with a small audience of mostly family members gathered in the Blue Room.
Obama repeats the procedure the next day in the customary ceremony on a giant platform overlooking the National Mall. Ronald Reagan in 1985 was the last president to take the oath twice to avoid holding Inauguration Day festivities on a Sunday.
Both times, Obama will be sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts who, after flubbing the oath the first time in 2009, administered it to Obama again in the White House the day after his inauguration.
While second inaugural addresses rarely make history, Obama's speech on Monday will be the centerpiece of the celebration and a chance to lay out his vision for the next four years.
The audience is not expected to be as big as in 2009 when a record 1.8 million people crammed into the National Mall to witness the swearing-in, but turnout is projected at 600,000 to 800,000, with millions more watching on television.
Although Obama won re-election decisively in November and his public approval ratings have hovered above 50 percent, he will usher in his second term facing an array of daunting challenges.
Battles are brewing with Republicans over spending, taxes, the national debt limit, gun control and immigration reform, while overseas he has the tasks of winding down the war in Afghanistan and reining in Iran's nuclear ambitions.
This weekend, Obama found himself juggling inauguration preparations and his presidential duties, including briefings on the fate of Americans and others caught up in a deadly hostage siege at a gas plant in Algeria.
Obama will save specific policy proposals for his annual State of the Union speech before Congress on Feb. 12, and on Inauguration Day he will instead focus more on broad goals and loftier themes, aides say.
In his inaugural speech, Obama is expected to talk about the need for political compromise where possible - a nod to the divisive fights with the Republican-led House of Representatives over fiscal matters. That, however, will also remind Americans of his own failure to meet his promise to be a transformational leader who would fix a dysfunctional Washington.
"It'd be great if the inauguration were a unifying moment - though I honestly can't say it will be. But just maybe for a day they can bury the hatchet and celebrate an important day for American democracy," Brian Hurley, 57, a local salesman, said as he guided an out-of-town visitor outside the White House gates.
But mindful of just how low the Republicans' poll numbers have sunk, Obama may seize the opportunity to appeal to Americans to bring pressure to bear on their lawmakers.
With the public ceremony falling on the national holiday honoring slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., Obama will also have a chance to draw historic parallels. While taking the oath on Monday, he will place his left hand on two Bibles - one once owned by Abraham Lincoln and other by King.
Obama kicked off inauguration events on Saturday, rolling up his sleeves at a school renovation project as he joined in a nationwide day of community service to celebrate King's legacy.
Workers, meanwhile, were putting the finishing touches on viewing stands stretching along the parade route, security barriers were going up, and thousands of police and National Guard troops were being deployed around the city. - Reuters

UPDATE: Police say man found dead outside Wall Street Towers jumped
June 19. 2013 9:43AM
MANCHESTER – A man whose body was found on the ground Tuesday morning outside Wall Street Towers apparently committed suicide.
Police identified the man as Nicholas Kisielewski, 33, who lived on the 16th floor of the 555 Canal St. apartment building.
Lt. Maureen Tessier said some people reported seeing him fall shortly after 11 a.m.
"A preliminary investigation indicates there was no foul play and that he committed suicide," Tessier said.
Investigators believe Kisielewski jumped from the balcony of his 16th floor apartment.
Previous story follows:
MANCHESTER – Police are investigating the death of a man late Tuesday morning whose body was found on the sidewalk on the Canal Street side of the Wall Street Towers.
Police said in a press release issued this afternoon that the man has been identified, and his name is being withheld pending notification of the next of kin. Police indicated their early investigation does not point to foul play.
Canal Street was reopened about 3:45 p.m.
Sgt. Craig Rousseau said investigators are trying to determine what happened, including whether the man jumped or fell from the parking garage.
The body was covered by a yellow tarp. Late this morning, the area from Spring Street north on Canal Street to the end of the building's parking garage also was cordoned off with yellow police tape.
An officer on the fifth floor of the garage was seen wrapping yellow police tape around a pillar.

What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A strain occurs when a muscle is stretched or torn. A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched or torn. Strains are often the result of overuse or improper use of a muscle.
On the other hand, sprains typically occur when a joint is subjected to excessive force or unnatural movements (e.g., sudden twists, turns, or stops). Sprains can be categorized by degree of severity:
What is tendonitis?
Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon, a band of tissue that connects muscle to bone. It is most commonly the result of overuse during physical activities. Repetitive motions can stretch and irritate the tendon, causing pain and swelling. Tendonitis occurs around joints such as the elbow, shoulder, wrist, ankle, or knee.
What is bursitis?
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa or bursae (more than one bursa), small fluid-filled sacs that cushion areas of friction around joints. Bursae contain synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. Bursitis typically occurs as a result of overuse during physical activities or infection of the synovial fluid. If a bursa becomes infected or irritated from repetitive stress, it will cause pain and limited movement. Bursitis is most common in the shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, or heel.
What is arthritis?
The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, can affect any joint in the body, but most often afflicts the knees, hips, and fingers. Most people will develop osteoarthritis from the normal wear and tear on the joints through the years. Joints contain cartilage, a rubbery material that cushions the ends of bones and facilitates movement. Over time, or if the joint has been injured, the cartilage wears away and the bones of the joint start rubbing together. As bones rub together, bone spurs may form and the joint becomes stiff after long periods of activity or inactivity.

BORN 12 Sep 1858, Grembergen (near Dendermonde) - DIED 12 Nov 1921, Brussel
GRAVE LOCATION Brussel: Begraafplaats Laken
Khnopff grew up in Brugge (Bruges) and after a short period at the Brussels Law School he studied under F.X. Mellory at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. In 1877 he visited Paris and saw the paintings of Delacroix, Moreau, Rossetti and Burne-Jones. These painters influenced his style and he became an important painter in the symbolist movement.
In 1883 he co-founded the Groupe des XX (The Group of Twenty). His work enjoyed critical acclaim in the press and in 1892 he was one of the 60 artists that exhibited at the first Salon de la Rose+Croix at the Durant-Ruel Gallery, rue Lepelletier, Paris. This was not entirely to the liking of several members of his "XX", who didn't care for Joséphin Péladan, the organizing writer who claimed to be a descendant of the last king of Babylon.
Women shown as sphinxes or chimeras were recurring themes in Khnopff's work. He frequently used literature or poetry for inspiration. "I Lock my Door upon m ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Radio- changes ahoy!
December 22, 2010 1 comment
For my second blog post, I thought I'd try something a little different. I'm going to move away from sport for a second, so we'll see how all this turns out.
The end of this year signaled a bit of a mix up in radio land, with numerous hosts in Sydney and around the national networks switching stations and time slots. Add to this the return of one very prominent figure in Australian radio, and I think that it's an incredibly interesting and exciting time for those who tune into their wireless (and I mean, who doesn't?!)

The ladies stateside have all the luck!
I tried one of these NYX pencils and was in love! The eye pencils are incredibly soft and easy to apply – sometimes a pencil can seem soft when applied to the hand but not on the eye but these are just as soft and pigmented on the sensitive eye area.
These are the chubby lip pencils – I got these as a lot and some of the colours are darker than expected but nevertheless, the are really soft and leave a bit of a tint on the lips too:
I also bought some of the glitter eyeliners, but they are quite disappointing – they literally just have glitter and no pigment at all. It makes them quite difficult to use as there is a waxy base in the pencil which could dilute colours applied over it.
The jumbo eye pencils are highly highly recommended though!

Best Twitter Reactions To The Supermodels At The Olympic Closing Ceremony
Did you get a chance to see the British supermodels storm the stage at the Olympic Closing Ceremony? Kate Moss! Naomi Campbell! Lily Cole! Georgia May Jagger! Lily Donaldson! Stella Tennant! Lone male model David Gandy! They all get exclamation points after their names! Especially when they're striding on a stage to David Bowie's Fashion. Seriously. It was like the novel Tyra Banks wanted to write.
So, anyhow, this was a great moment in the Olympics for people who don't particularly like sports. However, not all the reactions seem to have been as enthusiastic as we were. Here are some of the feelings people have felt about this:

Support for solar project in Monadnock Region soughtBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
February 27. 2014 8:11PM
KEENE — Before moving forward with a model for their planned community solar project, Monadnock Sustainability Network and a group of students from Antioch University New England plan to host a meeting with a core group of citizens interested in developing, funding, and implementing what would be the first community solar project in the Monadnock region.
The meeting will be held March 13 at 6 p.m. at Antioch University New England in Keene.
"This meeting, which we're calling our core group meeting, is essentially anybody who thinks they may be interested in maybe donating money, buying into the community solar program that we're trying to get up off the ground and really essentially anybody interested in community solar, particularly in the Monadnock region," said Robert Keller Thursday, an Antioch student. "We would like anybody that is interested in community solar to attend this meeting."
Students plan to present different options including whether the project should be utility-based or non-profit based, Keller said.
"There are different models that we can implement as far as community solar goes and the main take away from this meeting is essentially if people are interested we're going to be welcoming their feedback to what they think is the most successful model," he said.
Community solar systems are cooperatively owned and are typically started by a core group of local citizens who provide the initial investment to begin project development. The remaining capital is raised by selling shares of the solar array within the broader local community.
The projects take advantage of federal and state financial incentives and generate income for owners, who may not otherwise be able to invest in solar energy.
To RSVP or learn more about the project, contact John Kondos, President of MSN, at (603)363-9969 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Police in riot gear surrounded a settlement of indigenous people next to Rio de Janeiro's storied Maracana stadium on Saturday, preparing to evict them as soon as an expected court order arrived.
The site commander, police Lt. Alex Melo, explained officers were "waiting for the order, and understand it can come at any time."
But the order still had not arrived after a tense, daylong standoff. Frightened residents wondered why law enforcement came without an order to enter, and federal public defenders who have worked on the protracted legal battle over the space tried to mediate.
"This is absolutely arbitrary. They can't enter without an order," said public defender Daniel Macedo. "If they did, they could be charged with a crime, with abuse of authority. It could be a blood bath, which could look really bad for the government of Brazil and the state."
The indigenous group includes men and women of about 10 ethnicities — mostly Guarani, Pataxo, Kaingangue and Guajajara — who have been squatting for years in 10 homes they built on the site of an old Indian Museum, abandoned since 1977.
The police arrived early in the morning and surrounded the compound. By noon, the residents locked the main gate. As supporters arrived, the Indians lowered a wooden ladder over the brick wall surrounding the complex to let them in, later pulling the ladder back up.
During the nerve-racking wait on Saturday, the squatters painted their faces and bodies and donned elaborate headdresses, at times playing rattles and flutes or whistling bird calls. Some displayed ornamental bows and arrows over the wall and through the gate separating them from the black-clad police in body armor.
The settlement and the remains of the building that lodged the museum are adjacent to the Maracana, which is being refurbished to host the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics and the final match of the 2014 World Cup.
Blighted streets around the stadium are also to undergo a vast transformation to become a shopping and sports entertainment hub, complete with parking lots. Most of a favela, or shantytown, about 500 meters away has already been demolished to make way for the new development.
The governor of Rio de Janeiro, Sergio Cabral, told a news conference in October that the building's razing is necessary for hosting the World Cup.
"The Indian Museum near the Maracana will be demolished," Cabral said then. "It's being demanded by FIFA and the World Cup Organizing Committee. Long live democracy, but the building has no historical value. We're going to tear it down."
However, a letter from FIFA's office in Brazil to the federal public defender's office published in the newspaper Jornal do Brazil said that the soccer authority "never requested the demolition of the old Indian Museum in Rio de Janeiro."
The indigenous have been resisting their possible eviction for months, operating with little or no information from authorities about what to expect, or what alternatives are available to them, said their leader Carlos Tukano.
"I know they are going to come in, and our proposal is to remain firm, but without moral or physical aggression," he said. "We cannot fight them with bows and arrows; they are armed."
Most of the approximately 30 Indians who live there and about 200 sympathizers packaged the compound Saturday to discuss how to peacefully deal with a possible police action. Several men, masking their faces with shirts, climbed high into the upper floors of the tumble-down building and surveyed the scene with professional bows and arrows.
The squatters believe they have history and the law on their side.
The crumbling mansion with soaring ceilings that housed the old museum was donated by a wealthy Brazilian to the government in 1847 to serve as a center for the study of indigenous traditions.
After the museum closed more than three decades ago, Indians of various ethnicities started using it as a safe place to stay when they came to Rio to pursue an education, sell trinkets in the streets or get medical treatment.
"They would come here without money, without knowing anyone, and sleep in the streets," Tukano explained. He himself is from a village deep in the Amazon. "We made this our space."
The head of Rio state legislature's Human Rights Commission, representative Marcelo Freixo, called for the need to stay calm and avoid violence.
"Conflict here is not in anyone's interest," he said before addressing the squatters and supporters inside the compound. "If there is a judicial order, the police will have to enforce it, but we have avoid any injuries with dialogue."
As he spoke, state public defender Eduardo Newton proposed an alternative legal tactic.
Under state law, Newton said, there can't be a mass eviction without proper legal proceedings. With group approval, he began gathering documents that would prove that more than 10 families lived on the grounds so he could try for a rushed stay on the eviction notice.
Police, meanwhile, police continued to stand guard the compound.

G-Technology G-DRIVE Mini & Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro 750 GB Review
Hard drive manufacturers have been producing external storage drives for a very long time. In general, the technology is similar to that of internal storage drives, with the exception of protective casing and external connections on the former. Generally, USB, eSATA, or 1394 IEEE FireWire have been used for connectivity. The quest has always been to have more space, faster speeds, and smaller form factors — convenience all around. While most older devices required a secondary means of power such as an external power supply, newer devices can now be completely powered by USB or FireWire connections.
Today, Hitachi has provided two of their recent 750 GB External Hard Disk Drives: the G-DRIVE Mini and the Touro Mobile Pro. The first is protected by an aluminum case with a heat sink. Supporting Mac computers out of the box, it is also compatible with Windows systems after a quick formatting. Connectivity utilizes FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0. On the other hand, the second drive utilizes USB 3.0 and has relatively smaller dimensions. Uniquely, its style is reminiscent to that of the iPhone 4.
Closer Look:
We will first examine the G-DRIVE Mini – a drive with a capacity of 750 GB and operation at 7200 RPM. The front of the box lists these features and the supported connections – FireWire 800/400 and USB 2.0. It also displays a decent corner-shot image of the drive. The design of the package is clean and simple, with a blue and white color scheme. The back of the box displays the drive next to a laptop, alongside photos of its features and included carrying case. Specifications in both English and French can be found at the bottom, most notably presenting the drive's out-of-the-box support for Mac systems. On top of that, it can be formatted for Windows usage too!
Information-wise, the first side also lists the package contents, system compatibility, and drive specifications. Flipping to the other side, we can find some suggested uses and an approximate estimate for the number of movies, MP3s, or photos per 100GB of storage – 50,000 2 MB photos, 25,000 4 MB MP3s, and 140,700 MB DivX movies. The barcode label is on this side as well. Lower down, there is a circle indicating its three year warranty and four squares indicating support for Mac and PC computers through FireWire and USB connections.
The top and bottom of the box both display the G-Technology logo and their saying: "Performance. Style. Reliability". The top also indicates the drive as an award-winning high performance Hitachi 2.5" model in an all-aluminum enclosure.
Upon opening the box, we are greeted by a large G-Technology logo and a smaller Mac logo. While this drive is formatted for plug-and-play on the Mac operating system, there is also a link and instructions for installing the drive onto Windows via the included CD. Most importantly, the drive is completely protected by foam.
Underneath the foam, we find the drivers CD and additional information about formatting the drive for Windows. Further inside, there is a flap that hides the cables and carrying case.
The carrying case is of decent quality, using Velcro to stay shut. On the backside, it has an elastic band to secure its cables. Included is a FireWire 800 cable, a FireWire 800-to-400 adapter cable, and a USB 2.0 cable, so connectivity is not a problem!
The drive comes with a product CD and a reminder card for the user to reference the G-Technology website for information on formatting the drive for the Windows operating systems. Lastly, the drive is protected by a gray antistatic bag.
Time to open up the second drive!

'Water banks' help cities weather drought
With $250 billion in taxpayer money headed their way to remedy their phenomenal incompetence, banks aren't exactly paragons of public confidence right now. But in California, where two years of severe drought have emptied reservoirs and created a water crisis almost as scary as the financial one, a slightly unusual type of bank just might save the state's bacon.
We're not talking subprime-loan slinging outfits like Washington Mutual, or free-toaster-offering First Hometown banks. In this case, California's Department of Water Resources is hastily building a state-run "drought water bank." By this spring, if all goes according to plan, there will be a pool of water available into which the state's drought-hammered cities can dip.
In normal times, "there may be one large municipality that knows it needs water, and sends its people out looking for water rights," says Larry MacDonnell, a Colorado attorney who has studied the evolution of water banks. But during a drought, many different water users need to buy water, "and it's basically a free-for-all," he says.
With the bank, however, the state can negotiate with individual irrigation districts to buy farmers' water supplies for the year, "bundle" them together, and then resell that water to needy cities — or to other farmers who grow high-value crops and are short of water. "The bank helps organize the buyers and sellers, and creates the rules of the game," MacDonnell says.
In California, irrigation districts that receive water from the State Water Project or the federally run Central Valley Project — which together supply water to nearly 4 million acres in the state's Central Valley — can sell up to 20 percent of their water to the bank. The bank would then use both projects' canals to route that water to buyers. Rather than permanently selling their water rights, participating districts would essentially lease water to the bank and its customers for the year.
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which serves 18 million people in Los Angeles and San Diego, has negotiated several water-transfer deals with individual irrigation districts in recent years. But the water bank offers a far more attractive option than beating a path to the front door of every one of the state's 1,200-some irrigation districts.
"We pursued a lot of water last year, but we didn't get an awful lot," says Steve Hirsch, Metropolitan's water-transfer manager. "I just felt there was a greater likelihood of us getting more water through a bank rather than going out on our own."
Water banks aren't a particularly new idea. Farmers along Idaho's Snake River established the first water bank in the 1930s, as a way to share unused water. "It operated for a number of years informally outside of the regular legal water-law system," says Clay Landry, the managing director of a consulting company called WestWater Research. "The local community got together and came up with this concept, and it was such a good idea that the Legislature finally authorized it 40 years later."
Since then, water banks have bloomed in semi-riotous profusion, and produced many different hybrids. Water banks have been launched in at least eight of the 11 Western states, but not all of them have been successful.
"People at the local level will find what's comfortable for them," MacDonnell says. "If they are comfortable, it's going to work. Otherwise, you're going to create institutional rules nobody's going to use."
That happened on the Arkansas River in Colorado. In 2001, the state Legislature created a water bank — but saddled it with so many restrictions that, after seven years, it has yet to complete a single transaction. Only two water users offered to sell their water through the bank, and the asking price was so high that "it was just prohibitive, unless you were going to grow some kind of illegal crop," says Bob Hamilton with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District.
Bank customers in California may themselves face high prices next year. Much of the water for the bank would likely come from rice farmers in Northern California's Sacramento Valley. But rice prices have essentially doubled each of the past two years, and farmers may prefer planting to take advantage of boom prices rather than selling their water to a bank.
Thad Bettner is the manager of the Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District, which has participated in several water transfers in the past. "Right now, the district's maxed out," he says. "It's pretty much planted wall-to-wall. And if anything, the price (of rice) next year is probably going to be even higher."
Regardless of how water prices finally shake out, the water bank also provides a twist on an old antagonism in the state. Some California agricultural communities still harbor a lingering stigma about selling water to big cities. The water bank could provide cover for farmers who'd like to sell some of their water, but can't stomach the idea of selling it to Los Angeles. As one longtime observer of the state's water deal-making says, "It's a lot easier to show up at the local coffee shop and say, 'I'm not sure who my water's going to, but I'm selling it to this bank.' "

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — After being acquitted three times by Turkey's judicial system, a woman was found guilty on Thursday of involvement in a deadly 1998 bombing by Kurdish rebels and sentenced to life in prison.
Pinar Selek, a 41-year-old Turkish sociologist now living in France, was accused of aiding and abetting the rebels and planting a bomb in Istanbul's 17th-century spice market that killed seven people and wounded more than 120.
Selek, who maintains her innocence, was acquitted of the charges in 2006, 2007 and 2011. But those verdicts were overturned by appeals courts that ordered new trials. The case has been complicated by contradictory reports about whether the deadly explosion was caused by a bomb or a gas leak.
On Thursday, a court with three judges ruled 2-to-1 to convict Selek, sentenced her to a life term, and issued a warrant for her arrest.
Her lawyer, Yasemin Oz, said the defendant will appeal the guilty verdict.
Speaking from her home in Strasbourg, France, on Turkish TV, a tearful Selek said: "Despite the ordeal, I am hopeful." She said she believes the European Court of Human Rights, based in Strasbourg, will review her case as soon the proceedings in Turkey are concluded.
In its ruling Thursday, the court also confirmed a previous acquittal of a man being tried alongside Selek on the same charges, Oz said.
Human rights groups say the long-running case against Selek has exposed flaws in Turkey's legal system, which allows people to be repeatedly tried for the same crime.
Selek spent two years in jail before leaving Turkey, claiming she had been tortured as a prisoner.
The rebels she was convicted of helping, the Kurdistan Workers' Party, is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey and its U.S. and European Union allies. Since the 1980s, tens of thousands of lives have been lost in the rebels' struggle for independence for Turkey's Kurdish minority.
