PowerColor HD 7990 Devil 13 Dual GPU Graphics Card Pictured
Subject: Graphics Cards | August 23, 2012 - 11:17 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: radeon hd 7990, hd 7990, graphics card, dual gpu, amd
Today, more rumors emerged on the ever elusive dual-GPU AMD graphics card. Reportedly, graphics card vendor PowerColor will be one of the Add In Board (AIB) partners producing the Radeon HD 7990. Previous rumors suggested that the HD 7990 would be comprised of two Radeon HD 7970 GPUs and it would be available in late August 2012. While there is no confirmation on the release date, the PowerColor 7990 "Devil 13" graphics card is using two 7970 GPUs in CrossFire on a single PCB.
Back in July, some details emerged on the 7990 that the PowerColor card rumors do not seem to disprove. Some highlights from the rumor mill so far include:
- The 7990 will use two 7970 Tahiti XT GPUs connected by a PLX chip.
- 6GB of GDDR5 memory (3GB per GPU)
- 4,096 stream processors, 64 ROP units
- (at least) a dual slot design with three fan cooler
- Four mini DisplayPorts and two Dual Link DVI video outputs
- Four 6-pin PCI-E power connectors
The earlier post did also mention that the default clock speed would be 850 MHz, but that does not seem to be the case with the PowerColor model. There may still be Radeon HD 7990 cards that come clocked at that speed, however.
As for the PowerColor model specifically, the new rumors suggest that it will be part of a limited run with a total of 500 cards. Coming in a red and black design, the three slot graphics card will use two 7970 GPUs clocked at 925 MHz in CrossFire. While there is no shot of the other side of the board to see how many PCI-E connectors it has, it will reportedly draw as much as 400 Watts. Using a BIOS switch, you will be able to choose between default and factory overclocked clockspeeds for both the GPU and GDDR5 memory.
Videocardz managed to unearth a photo of the elusive dual GPU AMD card.
When in its default mode, the card will run the GPU at 925 MHz and the memory at 5500 MHz (effective), which is the same as the Radeon HD 7970 single GPU graphics card. After flipping the BIOS switch, the card will use overclocked speeds of 1000 MHz for the GPU and 5500 MHz for the memory (so the GPU is the only part getting overclocked, according to the rumors).
According to Videocardz, the PowerColor 7990 has been refined somewhat compared to a showing at Computex earlier this year. From the photos comparison, it looks as though the company has changed out the red PCI back plate for a standard silver color rather than the custom red version. Also, the three fans are slightly different models. It appears as though the card will provide two DVI outputs as well as a full-size HDMI and two mini DisplayPort outputs. The site claims that AMD will not be releasing any reference version and has given its partners free reign to engineer and design custom versions (perhaps we'll see a massive 12GB version heh).
While there is no word on when this card will be released, according to sources speaking with Hardware Canucks, the Powercolor 7990 "Devil 13" will cost between $899 and $999 in the US. While not the card that many were likely hoping for (because of the price), it may well be the best that users hoping for a dual Graphics Core Next card will be able to get–assuming you can get your hands on one of 500 available cards. NVIDIA has had its own dual GPU GTX 690 on the market for some time now, and it is looking more and more likely that AMD is not going to have an answer any time soon in any big way (outside of limited edition runs from partners that design their own custom versions), and that's unfortunate.
I speculated that users would be better off with two single Radeon 7970s in CrossFire, and I still believe that is likely the best option right now. Especially if you opt for the 7950 with PowerTune boost (which we recently reviewed) or 7970 GHz Edition cards with boost as it is looking like the 7990 will not have that functionality.
What do you think though, are you still holding out for the ever-elusive 7990?
You can find more coverage of the AMD Radeon HD 7990 by following the 7990 tag!
I find it impressive, that you can fit that much power in one single card. Would i ever spend 1K on a graphics card? no never. But its still impressive non the less.
So iif you look at, let's say, cram and life hacks for girls buzzfeed I used something called the link word mnemonic to
memorize 300 to 500 vocabulary words a day without too
much trouble.
Review my site - reference (Http://Hackz.info/)
...except that two 7970s in CrossFire are going to take at least four slots, while this thing will fit in at most three, possibly two if you replace that cooler with something more compact. For some people an additional free PCIe slot is a big deal.
Not to mention maniacs for whom the choice is between four 7970s and two "7990"s :D. Eight slots for graphics cards alone? If you want to put in any other card besides those, dual-GPU cards have no alternative.
Yeah, I made that concession on my earlier post, that dual 7970 single cards isn't ideal for smaller cases. Still, I'm thinking two 7970 GHz Edition cards would be faster than one 7990. On the other hand.. if one of the AIBs debuts a card that combines two 7970 GHz Edition GPUs on a single PCB that can use the PowerTune boost and reap the higher power efficiency (thanks to better binning) benefits then that card will be smoking fast!! :D
This card is actually called the PowerColor 7970 X2 -- NOT the 7990 -- and was made as a POC for Computex back in early June. Further, this card was actually announced back in May on PowerColor's website (http://powercolor.com/us/News.asp?id=1159). Re-announcing it in late August doesn't really make any sense, especially since it doesn't look like PowerColor actually has any plans to mass produce this card.
I dunno for sure but the rumors say that its being launched as a 500 unit limited run under the 7990 branding and no longer called the 7970 x2. I guess ill just have to wait until it is finally available to know for sure. Thanks for the bit of backstory on the card :)
YAY for competition!
That card looks badass. A 12GB version would be cool, just for fun.
How long has it been since I had my dual 6990? Finally time to upgrade my rig! :D
If you have a dual 6990, you don't need to upgrade your system. Heck, if you have one 6990, you don't need to upgrade.
If you have 1k to spend on a videocard you should just buy one without a fancy heatsink, and then spend the rest of that on a block and loop to water cool it.

Final Ivy Dual of the Season
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - After suffering their first two conference losses of the season, the Bulldogs are looking to bounce back this week against Brown. What hopes to be a straightforward victory for the Bulldogs will be anything but straightforward in its set-up. The meet will take place mid-week on Wednesday and will be swum at UMass-Dartmouth as opposed to Yale or Brown. Brown comes into the meet 2-6 overall and 1-5 in the Ivy League.
The last time the Bulldogs and Bears met, Yale took a decisive 181-119 victory on senior night at home. The Bulldogs won 11 of the 16 events, while senior Susan Kim won three individual events and helped the 200-yard medley relay to victory. She also broke the Yale pool record in the 200-yard breaststroke, which had stood since 1995. Senior captain Andrea Clifford won two events and sophomores Hayes Hyde and Rachel Rosenberg also won events. Sophomore Abby Nunn broke five minutes in the 500-yard freestyle for the first time in her collegiate career at the meet, and Yale also broke the pool record in the 400-yard freestyle relay, a record which had not been broken since 1999.
The Bulldogs are coming off a tough loss at HYP, last weekend. Princeton won the meet and the Ivy League dual title. Yale fell to Princeton 191-107 and Harvard 180-120. There were some bright spots. Kim and freshman Alex Forrester both won events, broke pool records, and earned NCAA B cuts. Kim won the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:12.64, which broke the Princeton pool record and earned her an NCAA B cut. Forrester won two events. She won the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 49.92, breaking 50 seconds for the first time this season and earning an NCAA B cut. She also won the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 52.64. She broke the Princeton pool record and again earned an NCAA B cut, and this time she nearly earned an A cut. She was just 0.62 seconds off the A cut time and has a good chance to earn it before this season is done.
The Bulldogs season is quickly winding down. After Brown, the Bulldogs have their final dual meet and final home meet of the season on Saturday against UConn. It will also be Robert J.H. Kiphuth Director of Swimming Frank Keefe's final meet at Yale. After that the Bulldogs get two and a half weeks off before heading to the Ivy League Championships for the culminating meet of the year. Beyond that it is up to individuals to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Rosenberg and freshman Paige Meneses have already punched their tickets to the NCAA Zone Diving Championships. Kim, Forrester and others still have a few more chances to punch theirs.
The meet will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Feb. 3.

New tests arrive with Common Core
Of all the growing pains that come with the switch to the Common Core State Standards, the biggest might prove to be the introduction of new tests aligned with the reform.
New standardized tests will be given online -- replacing the No. 2 pencils and little ovals associated with the Connecticut Mastery and Connecticut Academic Performance tests, which themselves will be things of the past by the end of the school year for state assessments in English/language-arts and math.
Greenwich education officials argue the changeover to an online testing format will not overburden their district from logistical and financial perspectives. But the big ache could arrive when the scores do -- which has been the experience of other states that are ahead of Connecticut in implementing the Common Core reforms.
During the 2012-13 school year, for example, New York state students in grades three through eight took new exams. In both ELA and math, only 31 percent of students met or exceeded the proficiency standard. The year before, 55 percent of students in those grades reached proficiency in ELA and 65 percent hit that benchmark in math.
Results were similar when Kentucky switched tests two years ago. In Maryland, the decline was also noticeable, although not as dramatic as in the Bluegrass State.
In Connecticut, state education officials said they also anticipate challenges in transitioning to the new assessments. Scores are likely to drop.
"The new standards require a focus on getting kids to a higher level of learning, and the test results will reflect that, and we will adjust our expectations and produce over time higher and higher percentages of kids who reach those new standards," said Allan Taylor, chairman of the state Board of Education. "We'll have to explain that the results don't mean their kids are doing more poorly or that they're not learning, but that it means that the expectation of what they need to learn is higher."
That might prove to be a tough sell. Because what is not likely to change is the importance people in and out of education place on test scores.
Standardized testing has assumed a preeminent, many say damaging, place in public education since the No Child Left Behind reform was passed in 2002. And emphasis on testing is only likely to grow going forward: The arrival of the Common Core coincides with state education reforms that include new teacher assessments closely tied to student performance on standardized tests.
Carol Burris, principal at South Side High School in Rockville Centre, N.Y. and New York State's 2013 high school principal of the year, worries that an overemphasis on testing could create an unwelcoming learning environment for students.
"My biggest fear is that we're raising a generation of kids in elementary and middle school who are going to hate school, and that would be a terrible tragedy," she said.
"All of this accountability around these tests, coupled with very difficult tests, coupled with teachers scared that their livelihoods are connected with these tests, is creating a climate that is not good for kids."
Teachers' representatives, here and in other states, are calling for a grace period during the changeover. While the state transitions to the new assessments, the evaluations should incorporate multiple measures of students' academic performance and growth, said Mark Waxenberg, executive director of the Connecticut Education Association, the state's largest teachers union.
"Teachers have never backed away from being evaluated," he said. "What they want to make sure is what they're being evaluated on is really applicable to that child's growth and ability."
State education officials appear to favor a similar strategy, at least for this year. Contingent upon federal approval, they say they plan to allow districts to choose whether or not they use state testing data in measuring student growth and development in 2013-14 evaluations.
The new online exams will replace the Connecticut Mastery Test's ELA and math sections in grades three through eight. In high school, they will supersede the Connecticut Academic Performance Test for 10th graders with an exam for 11th graders. The state will continue to administer CMT science tests for fifth graders and eighth graders and a CAPT science test.
The tests are the final piece of the transition to the Common Core, which Connecticut is making in its classrooms this year. The reform, adopted by 44 other states, states specific skills students should master in ELA and math at each grade, kindergarten through 12th grade.
The new assessments -- developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, which includes Connecticut -- could debut in Connecticut districts during the current school year. That timetable will depend on whether the U.S. Department of Education accepts a state request, which would give districts the choice of using the new tests and/or the CMT/CAPT in 2013-14. The SBAC exams are scheduled to be fully implemented in Connecticut by the 2014-15 school year.
Greenwich officials have said they want to use the new tests this year. With the district approaching a ratio of three students for each computing device, Director of Digital Learning and Technology Phillip Dunn said the school system will be able to comfortably accommodate online exams. The district will likely use several types of devices to administer the tests.
"What we would probably try to do is run a parallel process, where we'd have some students on desktops, if the principal thinks that's appropriate, and other students on iPads," Dunn said.
Greenwich High School is already incorporating "SBAC-type" questions into instruction, said Headmaster Chris Winters.
Describing the SBAC exams as "much more difficult that the CAPT," Winters acknowledged concerns about the new assessments being administered in 11th grade, the same year when many students take a number of other standardized tests, such as SATs, SAT IIs, ACTs and Advanced Placement exams.
"The SBAC testing adds an additional burden to students who already have a lot of testing to handle," Winters said. "We will monitor their anxiety and stress as closely as we can."

Fedora 8 Installation Guide
Prices can reach well into the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars, and depending on the method and location of installation, plumbing can also add to the cost. ,
Installation Option #3 via ATI Installer
You can get the latest ATI-Driver here:
The above bugzilla contains a patch to the firegl module source code. Here is an annotated walk-through for those not familiar with using the patch utility:
- Install the driver interactively
sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run
- Backup the existing module, download the patch
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ cp firegl_public.c firegl_public.c.orig wget -qO- http://ati.cchtml.com/attachment.cgi?id=466 > firegl.patch
- Apply the patch
patch -p0 < firegl.patch
- Now build and install the kernel module
./make.sh cd .. ; ./make_install.sh
- Create an initial X Server configuration file
aticonfig --initial
- Restart your X Server (by logging out/in or rebooting)
- AMD/ATI Catalist Control Center (amdcccle) fails to start, see this bugzilla entry.
FYI: this patch (and others like it) is incomplete. It fails miserably with the drm module loaded. It will not work without drm either, and what would be the point? As seen by dmesg:
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 1898 MBytes. [fglrx] ASYNCIO init succeed! [fglrx:KCL_enable_pat] *ERROR* Pat entry 2 is already configured [fglrx] PAT is disabled! [fglrx:firegl_init_module] *ERROR* firegl_stub_register failed
The livna rpm incurs the same failure. Stick with F7 and kernel 2.6.22, or use the radeon driver instead.
Updated by yangyud:
You need to remove the loaded "drm" module from kernel before install the fglrx module.
rmmod radeon; rmmod drm
See Also
Ok, the problem is gdm. I can `startx`, but gdm fails to load with fglrx, and there is no indication in any log as to why. This continues with new 7.11 Catalyst driver. Because of this, the problem is NOT with the driver, rather it is the default GDM time value of 10-seconds. To remedy:
vi /etc/gdm/custom.conf [daemon] GdmXserverTimeout=60
This allows enough time for X to startup before gdm considers it dead and aborts the X startup process.

The pleasure of discovering Spain by sail
Spain is today one of the countries with the best nautical facilities in the European Union.
Sailing in San Sebastián (Basque Country)
Barcelona Port
Cliffs on the island of Tenerife
Are you imagining how much you would like to enjoy the sunshine and crystal clear waters of a hidden cove somewhere? How would you like to enjoy all this on your own boat or a rented vessel? In Spain you can sail all year round, on a catamaran, sailing boat, motor launch... Come on! Head out onto the open sea or try sports like windsurfing, scuba diving and water skiing. Sailing is pure pleasure. Enjoy!
If you choose Spain for a nautical getaway you are sure to be pleased. Here you will find almost 8,000 kilometres of coastline, excellent weather, especially March-October, more than 300 marinas, a host of mooring options and Marine Resorts, fully equipped with everything your could need. A dream come true for sailing enthusiasts. Don't think twice. Full speed ahead! On your visit to Spain, sunbathing, going diving and enjoying the scenery from your boat will be your only worries.
Once you have chosen Spain for your "seafaring holiday", you have various options. If you have your own boat and sailing license you can experience captaining a boat on the Spanish coast, whether of the mainland or the Balearic or Canary Islands. Can you imagine feeling the rays of the sun, out on the open sea, with stunning views of the coast? It is advisable to decide in advance which port will be your base and book your mooring if you are coming in summer. Fuel and other necessary items can be bought at the marinas.
If you don't have a boat or know how to sail, but it has always been your dream... Don't worry! All along the Spanish coast there are many companies offering a wide range of sea charters. You can rent everything from larger sailing boats to small motor launches, depending on the license you have. Otherwise they can also provide an experienced crew. The company will take care of organising insurance and other obligatory documentation. So there is no excuse for not enjoying the sea, whatever your age or sailing experience.
A world of activities on the sea
Are you thinking that your maritime adventure ends when you get back on dry land? Nothing could be further from the truth, because Spain's marine resorts offer a variety of other water sports. For the more adventurous, good options are windsurfing, surfing, kitesurfing, parasailing, jet skiing and water skiing. Would you prefer something less daring? Then try sailing, kayaking, angling, snorkelling or scuba diving. You will never forget the beauty of Spain's sea beds! Don't worry about the equipment; all this can be provided. There are also beginners' courses to get you started. Use our search engine to find out which resorts offer these services.
What's it going to be? The broad beaches and unique light of the Mediterranean and the peace and calm of the Mar Menor, the perfect sailing winds of the Cantabrian Sea and its stunning cliffs, the beauty of Atlantic estuaries or the stunning sea beds of the islands... In all these places you will find fully equipped marine resorts, and towns and villages with beautiful monuments. Whatever you choose, you will discover all the beauty of our seas in the easiest possible way. Spain has maritime flavour. Sail over its waves, dive into its waters, and feel the freedom of the open sea.

Comments on The Long Hallway
26 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
For a design business, The Long Hallway is not an option: it's crucial to survival. I'd say, scramble and adopt it during the slow initial rise of the trend, or be run over by it when it attains critical mass.
Lucky Balaraman
But what about the customer? I think it's much harder to introduce a virtual company in business competition and explain it to it's customer than building up a working team. Those guys who work for us are allready experienced in futuristic web behavior. The clients mostlikely aren't.
This article is a very good one, very interesting. But i think my question / problem with it is at least as important. Answers or suggestions?
just wanted to say, great article!
ALA is one of the few places in the virtual world where I frequently get the feeling that hey, I know exactly what you're talking about! (Well, sometimes not, as it may happen, but that is also challenging and useful.) The situations and issues you discuss in your article are part of my everyday life, and mostly we're just making it up as we go along, solving the most pressing problems asap and dealing with others - well, later, when they do become pressing problems.
Thanks for a great article & greetings to everyone who is trying to create a balance between having a life and running a virtual company.
I worked for a long time in a virtual team. We made every week one meeting so everyone was up to speed and to avoid double and unneccesary work. These meetings also help to build trust in the team. It is very important that everyone in a virtual team /company trust each other. Difficulties with trust are bigger problems then the long hallway.
I don't think there will be many virtual companies. But I totally agree that there will be many many projects with virtual teams. The difference is that a company has a common interest into something. Whatever the interest is, you want to build something stable, much more than just making a bit of revenue with one client. A project with a virtual team is different, you know that you are working together with the other team members for a limited time and after that you might work together again on another project, but you also might see the other team members never again. So if you have the possibility to work together on a project basis, why would you want to make a company out of that? A company makes sence if it is bigger than the sum of its parts. But to grow bigger these parts have to have strong relationships that I don't see in a virtual company. So yes, work together as the article described, but not in the form of a company.
The problem that I have is doing the business side: sales,
accounting, lawyers, etc. These people can be annoying to find,
but absolutely essential to running a small business. Sales
can especially solve networking issues in finding clients.
Is there any effort to attach these folks to the more technology based networks?
I think it's a thin line between a company and a team of independent professionals collaborating frequently. The key issue is indeed to 'build something stable', and yes, that is hardly possible if you just hire people cheap on a project-by-project basis without any intention to build long-term relationships based on mutual trust and benefit.
I couldn´t see a great difference between a project team and a small virutal company. In both cases everyone is following the main goal of the company/project and also own interest. In a virtual company you couldn´t switch of personal interests especially with not equal employees.
As far a sales go, the client doesn't need to know that you're a virtual company. Whoever is pitching to the client pitches as a member of the firm. Meet with clients either in public places, like cafe's and restaurants, or in the clients' own workspace. It maximizes the convienience to the client to do this, and helps them feel more comfortable. It shouldn't matter that the guy doing the pitch is in NYC and the lady desinging the page is in Melbourne, AU, and the front end developer is in France, and the PHP guru lives on a houseboat in Lake Erie.
Just provide a quality product and experience, and you can keep your vitrual company's inner workings to yourself.
We've got a core team of four supplemented by a network of subs in illustration, database management, programming.. (you get the idea). It's worked well for us and allows us to be lean and flexible but still maintain a "physical presence" that seems to be important to some of our clients.
But what's really made that work well is the suite of tools we use to collaborate not just on projects but on ideas, direction, studio culture - the things you'd find around the break room table or during drinks after hours that we noticed we were missing as a partially virtual team. Our favorite of those tools right is Campfire (37Signals.com), we started out using it as a brainstorming space for our team and subs, but it's evolved into an open-all-day studio space we all log into in the morning and sign out of at night - between which discuss projects, each other's kids, future plans, ideas and everything else under the sun all day while we're at work in other windows.
It's really helped our subs feel like they've become part of the core team, helped everybody get and stay on the same page and quick questions get resolved fast, with transcripts available to look back and check if there's a conflict about what was said.
Great article!
I recently used a company that was pretty much based on this setup - although the project worked out well the senior managers I worked for were never convinced about the professionalism of them because they didn't have "an office". Admittedly these were not web or tech savvy people - the company's core business had nothing to do with the web or IT - but a lot of companies still fit that description.
Great Article. I'm in the midst of building my own virtual company. Two observations based on my experience:
1 - Virtual works great when you have a group of people who are highly talented and self-directed. I think it's much different to _develop_ the talent of a virtual team. Teaching really requires face time to be done right.
2 - I think at some point you have t have some kind of "meat space" for your company. A nice office space where you can bring Clients and team members for meetings/socials and prospects for pitch presentations. Clients want to "know where to find you" and a nice office can help them feel like you are planning on "sticking around" and will take good care of their business.
I think many creative professionals function in this sort of environment to one degree or another. The company I work for farms some of their work out to an agency in another state and maintain contact usually only by internet or phone. I rarely need to have face to face contact with my freelance clients, and even have a few clients whom I've never met in person.
I've been running a virtual company for years now, and I actually make it part of my pitch. If you present it the right way, it's a positive.
For example:
"Because I have less overhead, I can pass these savings onto you, Mr. Customer."
Get it?
Thanks great article and much needed since our company is contemplating the long hallway. One concern, or maybe two, that I have is, the creative energy that happens in a room of people is almost impossible to replicate over the phone or via email etc . . . There is something to be said when everyone shares the same physical space and shares and discusses ideas freely. It seems almost impossible to have this dynamic in a virtual situation. And like another comment earlier I can see the ability to do projects in this manner but long term, strategic thinking regarding a company seems much more difficult.
Losing the ability for face to face collaboration is indeed a challenge for management, but it is trumped by the ability to access a greater depth of talent. No manner of face-to-face will make up for a team that is composed of more talented individuals.
BTW: Once again the quality of your articles is incredible.
Transparency and honesty is crucial, especially when providing quotes for each creative project. There are dozens of on-line communities discussing rates for everything from logo design to Web site production openly. It takes a client five minutes to see if their own quote is somewhat realistic. Honest professionals will thrive in this virtual environment, which is very competitive. Honesty also generates many desired testimonials, inspiring present clients and establishing some credibility for new ones.
In the 80s and early 90s I worked in a Fortune 500's cubicle farm. Since then, I've worked in virtual companies only and absolutely love it. You do need self-motivated partners and fairly frequent phone/email contact to keep excitement at a steady high, in my experience.
Great article. I run a micro firm acting as a virtual company. I haven't found it difficoult yet to have clients embrace this innovative way of running a firm.
They're just happy when they understand that they're buying the best they can buy. And they pay just for what they need, not for the overall "structure" that lies behind the project.
I think that with the advent of instant messenging, conference groups, and webcams, that this is not such a bad idea. I've known someone who made a two hour commute to work one way. Then you've got the price for gas. This is a great labor and expense saving technology. People do need people skills to take advantage of it though.
Nice article. The long hallway can be quite OK for some businesses, can cut costs, and bring many other benefits. On the other hand, even if you have met your coworkers in person before, it is no guarantee that you can create a sustainable long term environment.
...has demonstrated time and time again that many paradigm shifts have been forged in the heat of crisis…like now (Spring 2008):
As the crushing costs of energy and resulting related expenses rise, virtual companies, telecommuting to established brick-and mortar businesses and hybrids yet unborn will spring up. Count on it.
There will be little distinction between creative people and more (no offense meant) mundane types of knowledge/information workers in their remote work style.
Current questions about virtual management, trust of workers unseen and "should I shave and shower before I web-cam the rest of the team?" are mere details.
Soon enough terms and phrases like "virtual companies" and "telecommuting" will themselves be relics, as are phrases like "IBM compatible" and "new media" today. The actions and concepts behind the phrases will simply be the way we live and work—routinely.
This is exactly why I am excited to be starting a business; now more than ever.
Wow this article holds true even today. In fact these days, it's so easier to outsource work or form your virtual team and get work online. There are so many Web 2.0 project management and collaboration tools available these days!
And I completely agree with copy-writing skills. I think even though the broadband speeds have substantially increased in the last few years, and videos have taken over to a great extent, but yet text still remains the main driver of the internet.
Great article. Brought back a lot of old memories.

When it comes to top luxury hotels in the U.S., the West seems to be a favorite with the TripAdvisor crowd. More than half of the top 25 U.S. luxury hotels in the Travelers' Choice 2013 picks are located in Hawaii, California, Arizona and other western states.
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Kaupulehu in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island was the big winner as No. 1 as the best luxury hotel and the top hotel in the U.S. and the world.
In the luxury hotel category, it's followed by the private residence-turned-hotel Wentworth Mansion in Charleston, S.C., at No. 2. Bardessono in Yountville, Calif., where eight wine-tasting rooms in the Napa Valley are within walking distance of the hotel, came in No. 3. Other luxury hotels in the West include:
— Four Seasons Seattle at No. 4;
— The Grand Del Mar in San Diego at No. 5;
— Four Seasons Resort Lanai, the Lodge at Koele in Lanai City, Lanai, Hawaii, at No. 7;
— Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur at No. 8;
— Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg, Ore., at No. 9;

You met with art directors at the Intensive. What did you learn from encountering them? Did they share tips for everyone?
Janis Marziotto: I'd like to know more about your process about working your illustrations into someone else's story. How do you start? Do you let the story speak to you and whatever pictures pop into your head those are what you go with? As a writer, when I look at pictures, the pictures speak to me in words.
Melanie Hope Greenberg: At the SBCWI NY Metro Illustrator's Intensive portfolio critiques were done privately with three art directors and an agent. I'm sure each illustrator gathered new knowledge and inspiration at their personal critiques. I took the opportunity to have a critique. Learned that my portfolio needs to always be updated. Don't rest on my laurels. Show new work. I show picture book art on my website: http://www.melaniehopegreenberg.com/art.html
I started a blog to keep adding new art. These illustrations are also for sale. http://melaniehopegreenbergillustrations.blogspot.com/
Joy Chu: @ Janis: When you experience a picture book, do you notice what the illustrator has done to enrich what the author has written? That is, what's NOT mentioned in the text?
JC: @ Melanie: Did Laurent Linn indicate what he looks for on behalf of his publisher, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers?
MHG: @ Janis, that's an excellent question and Joy brought up something very important about the under layers of a story to transcend the text into silent stories. I am going to discuss this further in Question #7.
Either way, as author-illustrator or just the illustrator, I need to breakdown the text to a 32 page format. Books are printed in increments of eights. See my post at the Mermaid on Parade Blog to visually learn about my process. http://mermaidsonparade.blogspot.com/2009/05/writing-and-illustrating-dummies-are.html
MHG: I was in Pat Cummings' class at the same time Laurent was teaching next door. I do not remember that question addressed when Pat and Laurent came together. I suggest to Google an interview with him and find out what he likes.
The good news is that I found the handout from that day. Here is what Laurent prefers: Send snail-mail samples of illustration, postcards are ideal. No email samples. Send to: Laurent Linn, Art Director, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, NY, NY 10020
JC: Aha. So what gems of wisdom did Pat share with you? I love the vibrancy of her art.
MHG: And remember folks… NEVER send original art, only reproductions that the publisher can keep on file.
JC: Thanks for that LL mailing tip, by the way.
Adding to Melanie's excellent advice on art samples: Make sure your sample fits neatly into an 8.5 x 11″ file folder. In other words, never send anything larger. And it should always be a reproduction, not an original. Each piece should have all your vital contact information.
MHG: Students in Pat's class had homework to create art for their story. One at a time, each student displayed their illustration in front of the whole class to be critiqued. Pat discussed composition, character development, narrative arc, color palettes, child friendliness, text placement, among many other nuances that come up when illustrating a picture book. Very informative session. We all came away learning how to be better at this craft.
Judy Salinsky: Oh… I have been reading every post, I am learning so much. Living in San Diego is a wonderful place and Joy's class was so informative, wish we had more. I love this. Seems like many artists are "self-taught", hit-and-miss. Hopefully, I will get a hit someday. I wanted to post a THANK YOU to Erin for recommending Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes: Volume 1: The Walt Stanchfield Lectures. Amazon offers a 'Look Inside the Book.' Oh my goodness, what a gem. Thanks so much for welcoming me to my first on-line discussion group, this is wonderful.
Judy Salinsky: @ Melanie: Will you ever do a workshop in California, or another one in New York! I would love to learn more!
MHG: Invite me to California and I am there!
Janis Marziotto: @Joy: Yes, I do. In fact, as a writer, we are reminded that if our words don't do a good job o conjuring images then we didn't do our job. I think of white space when pondering your inquiry. Even if a book is just words, the white space speaks volumes as well. I was just wondering about Melanie's process. Thank you.
JC: Glad you jumped right into the countdown, Janis. Let's re-visit your query when we get to Question 7, as Melanie suggests. :-)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA's newest delivery service has finally made it to the International Space Station.
After a week's delay, Orbital Science Corp.'s Cygnus cargo ship pulled up at the orbiting lab Sunday morning. The space station astronauts used their robot arm to grab it. The capsule is making its debut on this test flight, and contains more than a half-ton of food, clothes and other supplies for the six astronauts.
It marks a major accomplishment 260 miles up. Only one other private company has ever made such a high-flying shipment.
Orbital Sciences launched the Cygnus capsule from Virginia on Sept. 18. It was supposed to reach the space station four days later, but got held up by inaccurate navigation data. A software patch fixed everything.

In Dusty-speak, the new autobiography of Dusty Rhodes is full of "if you wills" instead of "jelly wellys," with action favouring bionic elbows rather than a figure-four leglock. And, unfortunately, it's got a "Dusty Finish."
But, true to form, Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream, written by Rhodes with former NWA President Howard Brody, is an entertaining, colourful ride -- just like Stardust himself.
It's got the cadence and tone of Dusty throughout, a rhythm that keeps you reading in anticipation of the next angle or insight. You'll rolly polly through the pages.
You'll also laugh at the tales of "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch, be touched by his appreciation for friends and family, be angered by his ego (which he reminds us often is large) and be educated on some of the backstage shenanigans that took place everywhere from Championship Wrestling from Florida, Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) to Japan and the back roads of Texas.
The book is written for true fans, and doesn't try to explain terminology or much background on wrestling or various wrestlers. This makes for a breeze of a read for all the hardcore fans out there, but perhaps might be a stumbling block for somebody who only knows The American Dream from afar. The language is ribald, sex talk is pretty blue and punches pulled add up to a grand total of zero.
Rhodes, now 59, addresses many of his controversies from over the years:
It's all good stuff. The brief quotes from various people from Dusty's life are a welcome respite from the trampling by the "Bull of the Woods." (Kudos to Sports Publishing for the index too!)
But like a Crockett NWA show from the late '80s, Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream, leaves you thinking as much about what didn't work as what did.
Taking a line from "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin, it seems that Rhodes believes that "It's not his fault." Jim Crockett Promotions burning through money in the late '80s, being forced to sell to Ted Turner? It was an accountant's fault; repetitive, infuriating booking that burned out towns during his watch (hello, Chicago) be damned. The Dusty Finish? "It doesn't exist. ... The phrase was created by sheet writers. ... [It] was around a hell of a lot longer than before I was booking," according to Rhodes.
A couple of whoppers that made this reader roll his eyes: Dusty was Vince McMahon's first choice to lead wrestling into the MTV generation, and "the yellow finger", Hulk Hogan, was the fall-back; perennial AWA World champion Nick Bockwinkel was a "mediocre hand."
Yes, it's ego talking; but it's an ego who has been there and succeeded. ("In my 30-plus years of being in the business, I have seen more shit go down than one can imagine," Rhodes notes.) He always had the gift of gab in interviews, and this book is no different; he can spin a tale with the best of them.
But Rhodes admits he held back too. "I made a decision that I was going to tell my story the way I saw and lived it. I was not going to grind any axes. I was not going to come across like some bitter old man. I made the decision to tell my story like it is, and if some people are soiled in the process, well then, that's an unfortunate side effect of the story."
With a 30-year career, there obviously has to be things left out. Where was the discussion of the Bunkhouse Stampedes and the NWA's suicidal run into the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island? What were the politics behind his NWA title wins? How was Rhodes "f***ed over" by J.J. Dillon? How come the Road Warriors and the "metal spike" don't get mentioned? How did the War Games idea come about? Did the jokes about his weight hurt? (Jesse Ventura: "Dusty Rhodes wouldn't win a body building contest for best abs, McMahon, he'd win for MOST abs.")
As active as he wants to be on the independent circuit today, and recently dismissed as booker for TNA, Rhodes still has his hand on the pulse of wrestling. His view of it is somewhat harsh, but relevant. "I can look at guys I've broken into the business and guys I brought in and I can say I knew from the time they walked into the room if they were the deal," he writes. "However, I cannot walk into a room anywhere in the country where there are independent wrestlers and see one person who tells me they're the real deal. On the independent circuit, I'm walking around and seeing great stuntmen."
Yet as I sit and think about the book, I keep coming back to its conclusion.
During his stint as a booker -- particularly in Jim Crockett Promotions -- Rhodes left fans with a bad taste in their mouths with his booking that had them believing that a title change had taken place only to have the decision reversed. It became known as a Dusty Finish, rightly or wrongly. He didn't create it, and probably gets unjustly criticized for it, but in the late '80s when the WWF was having pretty clean finishes -- especially in title matches -- Dusty's NWA was creating convoluted finishes seemingly night after night, reaching bigger audiences than ever before.
In Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream, the ending is weak too.
The chapter on his family starts off well with an appreciation of what a wrestler's wife goes through, but degenerates into a love-in for his kids and an amateur shrink's take on the relationship between him and his son Dustin. Following that, it slows a little more as Rhodes books his "Starrcade Prime" card, covering many of the workers he's already praised in the book. To conclude, Rhodes and Brody allow 10 different fans to ramble on about what The American Dream has meant to them. Those 20 pages grind everything to a halt.
One more Dusty Finish.
But it's all left open enough for a sequel, just like that Chi-Town Heat Starrcade pay-per-view in 1987 where Dusty failed to deliver a much-needed Road Warriors win over Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson. I may be infuriated and have bitched to my friends about the book(ing), but I'll be there for the next one.
Greg Oliver was one of the hordes who booed Dusty Rhodes and cheered Ric Flair when they were brought north to Hamilton for MoscaMania in 1988 (which also doesn't get mentioned!). Oliver is the producer of SLAM! Wrestling and can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

3/ Commencing upon the first day of the month following the date the supply lateral project facilities are placed
in service and continuing for a term of ten (10) years, Shipper shall pay negotiated reservation rates of
$10.3417 per month. (The monthly reservation charge is equivalent to a rate of $0.34 per Dth per day on a 100%

is required by the FERC to assess such a commodity charge, in which event the commodity charge shall be set at
the minimum permissible level, and the reservation rate described above shall be reduced to a level that causes
the combined commodity and reservation rate to equal a 100% load factor rate of $0.34. Should the FERC or a
court with jurisdiction issue a ruling that has the effect of prohibiting Transporter from collecting, or
penalizing Transporter for collecting the rates and revenues provided herein, then the parties agree to enter
into a substitute lawful arrangement, such that the parties are placed in the same economic position as if
Transporter had collected such rates. The negotiated rate shall be applicable to revised primary receipt or
delivery points, and Transporter shall agree to all requests for changes to primary receipt or delivery point
changes if capacity is available at such points and the change can be made without adversely affecting system

Commodity Rate shall be $0.17 per Dth per day and the Reservation Rate shall be $0.00.
4/ Shippers may amend primary receipt and delivery points under these contracts pursuant to Section 2.2 of Rate
Schedule FT. All such point changes are posted on Transporter's EBB as contract amendments and will not
necessitate a change to this tariff sheet.

My son just turned 13 months old. I returned to work while he was 3.5 months old. I have been pumping at work since then and would leave behind 3 4oz bottles of BM every day, which he would happily finish.
We started BLW around 7 months, but he was still going strong with the bottles of BM.
Since the last couple of weeks, he has completely refused to drink BM out of the bottle. (I'm gone between 9 AM-4PM). He nurses fine while I'm at home, about 3-4 times during the day and may be once at night. My MIL watches him while I'm gone.
He has been drinking water (a few sips) out of an open cup since we introduced it around 9 months. So, yesterday I tried giving him milk in the open cup. He would have none of it.
His solid intake fluctuates wildly, so I'm concerned that he does not take any milk during the day. Any ideas on how do I get him to take the BM when I'm not around?

The mental approach is always better when you are coming off of a win. But when you win three in a row for the first time in the season, it is hard not to feel like you are walking three feet off of the ground. Tuesday afternoon at 6 the Bisons play Tennessee Tech from the Ohio Valley Conference at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. The two teams will meet against Wednesday at 6 in Cookeville.
Bisons coach Jeff Forehand is hoping that his team doesn't crash. The Bisons are 10-18. Tennessee Tech, which has lost its last six games, is 11-17.
"Anytime you win a few games in a row you hope you are going to get momentum going into the next games," Forehand said. "We had more pep in our steps. The combination of three wins and some pretty weather had everybody's heart beats going a little faster. We hope this spills over into Tuesday and Wednesday and back into next weekend.
"Tennessee Tech has had some hard knocks like we have. They are hitting well over .300 as a team. They have a pretty solid offense."
Forehand plans to start freshman left-hander Blake Fonfara Tuesday. It will be his fifth appearance and second start. He is 0-0 with a 12.86 earned run average.
The Bisons will send senior right-hander Matt Bowling to the mound Wednesday. This will be his 10th appearance and second start. He is 0-3 with a 17.00 ERA.
"Obviously, in the mid-week games we will get as much as we can out of the starters. Then everybody else will pitch an inning or two to get us ready for the weekend."
The Bisons continue to improve offensively. Lee Wilson, Zach Messer and Tyler Wilson each have 12 multi-hit games. They are tied for the team lead. Ryan Wilkins has 10.
"Starting out we couldn't get more than a couple of people going at the plate," Forehand said. "These guys are hopefully all going to be hot at the same time at the plate."
Messer also leads the team with 10 multi-RBI games. Forehand expected this type of offensive production from Messer.
"He has had several opportunities to drive in some runs," Forehand said. "He is the type of player who can definitely lead you on offense. I hope he can keep on doing it.
"He started off kind of slow. I think he is hitting his stride now. He is a threat every time he comes up to the plate. Every time he comes to the plate I have the feeling he is going to hit it hard somewhere. I think everyone in the park expects him to hit the ball hard."

About Da-Rell T.Close
Hip hop is associated with moving to the rhythm, looking cool, being flashy, and unique and unconventional. Thats how it looks from the outside. However, from the inside it looks more like a release of inhabitioned movement, a fusion of different perspectives and disciplines, as well as a oneness shared between body, mind, and music. Forever shifting as it must.
I have studied styles of dance that I teach to all my students that lets them learn other styles easily. I can teach anybody how to create their own dance moves. I provide them with the proper perspective to begin to understand dance moves they see on television or when out dancing. Want to learn how to move with rhythm and style? Then i can teach you, no problem!
About Da-Rell
I can teach: popping, locking, waving, tutting, liquid, sliding, house, footwork, breakdancing, acrobatics, choreography, improvisation, and theatrical.
I can help you build your own style. A style that specifically pertains to you. I'll show you how to incorporate concepts, themes, and ideas, to tell a story, or to just express yourself through movement and rhythm.
I love teaching, and I love that look i
If you want to learn hip hop, house, or fusion- I am a very patient yet motivating teacher. I can be strict at times, but only when needed ;-)
Classes focus on ideas and concepts as well as ways to act them out. We learn how to utilize balance, emotion, finesse, attention, and focus to transition between movements. Exploring performing with character, style, technique, and form to develop their own individual philosophies on movement. We dissect different instruments and rhythms to experience them in different parts of the body. Integrating hip hop, ballet, modern, house, and martial arts into one cohesive style.
My goal is to foster artistic growth and to help you surprise yourself!

Fall and the land yacht.... For those that may not remember, we named our rig SLOTH for Sailors Living On The Highway.
Back in the motorhome after hauling our boat in the Chesapeake Bay and driving south from Hurricane Florence. We wrapped up some appointments in Florida where we had the motorhome stored and started our trip. Epcot Food and Wine Festival was first. We were invited by friends we met at one of our regular campgrounds and it was a special treat. Lots of options for small plates and wine pairing, with a short concert by Starship. Just a very enjoyable day with perfect weather and good friends.
Next stop was family in Tampa and a chance to spoil my granddaughters just a little bit more. One of the sad part of our nomadic life is time away from the grandkids. We also had wonderful visits with old sailing friends, then our usual stop in New Orleans as we headed west. As soon as we hit Texas we rustled up some lunch with sea and land cruising buddies Chris and Barb. They winter near Houston and after several attempts we finally arranged a visit.
The season plan was 2 months in Texas checking out several RV resorts to consider for a winter home. Then we would move on to visit the last few National Parks that we haven't been to yet in Arizona and California, along the way checking out more RV resorts and visiting friends. At the end of the season we would decide which area we would purchase a park model unit and become snow bird residents each winter.
In Texas after touring several parks we found a wonderful community at Llano Grande that met all of our criteria, had fun people, and an 18 hole golf course. Weekly dances, nightly card games, shuffleboard, almost any craft or hobby, this park checked off every box on my spreadsheet and more. DeeO'gee enjoyed the dog park with a dog wash station! I even joined Steve on the course golfing in the two best ball scrambles each week. Now add that my grandson could join us from Austin for holidays and we decided to look at some housing options. We close on March 1st on a lovely park model and look forward to becoming an even bigger part of the Winter Texan community. After 2 months we said a temporary goodbye to friends and headed west again to complete our planned adventures.
Arizona was great, what a beautiful state with so much to see and do. We visited 2 sets of sailing friends, a high school friend I hadn't seen in decades and my Milwaukee bestie in the Tuscan/Phoenix area.
Doug and Meyka took us to Kartchner State Park for a hike and cavern tour. We enjoyed a day trip to the historic town of Bisbee and toured the mine there as well as stopping at Tombstone. Add food, wine and several games of Pegs and Jokers and you have a recipe for a great time.
Kim was a gracious hostess and our tour guide for Tucson. One afternoon we spent a few hours taking in Sonora living desert museum. I never knew there were so many varieties of Cactus, now I want to plant a cactus garden!
We then visited Saguaro National Park during the shutdown so the visitor center was closed but the road through the park was open. The entire area is populated with saguaro of every shape and size. It takes these magnificent succulents 75 long years of growing before they begin to sprout the arms and live to be over 150 years old. Hmmm, did i mention food, wine and several games of Pegs and Jokers?
Moving north we visited with Kitty and Bill in their new winter home near Phoenix. This time we mixed things up a bit, food, margaritas and cards! I just don't want you to think we aren't flexible.
Petrified Forest National Park was gated due to some vandalism so we will visit that one on our way back through to Texas. Hopefully that will be before the next government shutdown.
A great car tour is on the scenic old Apache Trail stagecoach route. Stopping at several vistas and lunch in Tortilla Flats makes for another lovely day.
Last but not least was meeting up with Bill and Colleen on the north end of Phoenix. A day trip to Prescott with a stop at the Arcosanti
artist community. Don't forget the food, wine and Pegs and Jokers each afternoon...are you seeing a pattern here?
So much to see and so many friends...
When it was time to move along we took a route that would let us visit Quartesite, all full timers head to check out this area eventually. This area has free and almost free desert camping on BLM land. Many events take place over the winter that draws hundreds of RVers. Motorhome rallies, rock shows, swap meets, etc.
Our last stop before leaving the state was Lake Havasu. While summer is a better time to visit, we had lovely winter weather and enjoyed the sights. I'll have to put a summer visit on the bucket list.
The fact that London Bridge is in the Arizona town just doesn't seem to make sense. The bridge was purchased from London in 1968 for over 2 million dollars, it took 3 years and another 4.5 million to transport and reassemble the bridge. It would be interesting to talk to the city father's to see if the bridge was worth the cost.
We enjoyed Arizona so much that we are glad we have to pass through again to return to Texas.

The Dismal Swamp and on to the southern Chesapeake Bay
03 September 2018
finishing up the 2018 season
After finishing up the Albemarle Loop in Elizabeth City we started our route north again. The Pasquotank River took us to the south lock to enter the Dismal Swamp Canal. This journey was 38 miles of scenic waterway that reminded me of our small creeks off the lake I grew up on in Wisconsin, but so much longer. Picture turtles sunning on logs in water smooth as glass and birds flying over their own reflection in an area barely wide enough for two boats to pass. It's a bit too long to travel in one day as the entire length is a no wake zone and several free docks are available.
The Great Dismal Swamp canal is on the edge of the 750 square mile National Wildlife Refuge of the same name. The canal is the oldest continually operating man-made canal in the United States as it was opened in 1805. In 1859 the Albemarle-Chesapeake Canal opened rerouting commercial traffic away from the swamp leaving it for recreational boaters. Hundreds use this route for the annual spring and fall migration of snow birds. Depending on timing there can be so many boat tired up to overnight at the Visitors Center free dock that they raft up several boats wide.
At the north end we rejoined the ICW at the city of Chesapeake. One night in a marina and a couple of Uber rides refilled the larder and we were off to our last stop before entering the Chesapeake Bay.
Mile marker 0, the official beginning of the AICW, is smack dab in the middle of the world's biggest naval base. Naval Station Norfolk was established in 1917 and covers an area of approximately 3,400 acres. The USS Wisconsin is one of the largest and last battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy and sits proudly for the visitors to tour. This is a mighty impressive area to travel through in a little 32 foot boat surrounded by massive battle ships, aircraft carriers and supply ships.
We stopped to enjoy two free nights at the Portsmouth Town Dock. We were fortunate enough to arrive in conjunction with a street art fair and a farmers market. We toured the Portsmouth Lightship, walked the colonial streets and ate at a sidewalk cafe. This was another really charming town! It is obvious why the east coast has so much history, being where everything started, but to a Midwesterner it all seems awe inspiring.
This truly is a trip to remember. We finish this year on the southern Chesapeake at historic Cape Charles. We planned to end our incredible season with the MTOA Northern Rendezvous there but Hurricane Florence had other plans. Several boats had arrived before the event was canceled so we were able to participate in docktails and pot lucks before we all scattered to save harbors. We hauled our boat, secured it for the winter, rented a car and headed back to out motorhome.
Splash, Cruise, Haul, Repeat!

Janice & Steve
This adventure began in October of 2007 when Steve came to look at a boat that Janice had for sale on Craig's List. Steve wanted to learn how to sail and Janice needed a new kitchen.
They struck up a deal where Steve got the boat with lessons and Janice got her fabulous kitchen (see photos in The Beginning Gallery). It didn't take long to see how perfect they were for each other in every way. They discovered that they shared the same dream of cruising the islands so in only a few months the 'bartered' boat was again up for sale. They were looking for a blue water cruiser and purchased a Tayana 37 Cutter. They named her Sailacious - and that was the start of the journey from Paradise Island, FL to unlimited Tropical Islands! This site will detail the adventures of the Sailing Vessel Sailacious. The entries will take you from the purchase of the boat through all preparations and off cruising the Caribbean Sea. We know written words can never describe the beauty and excitement of it all, but we will try. We would love to hear from you either via email or in the blog comments. Update 2015: Sailacious has been sold and we continue our adventures in a motor home. Now we explore national parks and lands instead of tropical islands. We still continue to be amazed at the beauty of this world.
FAVORITE QUOTES: 'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do then by the ones you did. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.' Mark Twain 'We went cruising not to [...]
escape from life but to keep life from escaping us' Betsy Hitz Holman 'Our Boat is our Bedroom and the world is our Living Room.' Unknown 'A ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what a ship is for.' John A Shedd 'The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.' William Arthur Ward 'I don't know who named them swells. There's nothing swell about them. They should have named them awfuls.' Hugo Vihlen 'It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs, but what a ship is... is freedom.' Capt. Jack Sparrow 'Not all who wander are lost.' 'He who is contented with what he has is already rich. ' 'Sailing is hours of bordom punctuated by moments of stark terror.' Joe Karpinski

3 Day Draft May Happen In 2010
Nfl.com has reported that the NFL has confirmed this, here is what the article said.
The NFL confirmed reports that the league is considering the idea of starting the 2010 draft in prime time on a Thursday night and making it a three-day event but added that no decision has been made.
The Dallas Morning News reported that the NFL was considering holding the first round of the draft on a Thursday night, the second and third rounds on a Friday night and rounds 4 through 7 on a Saturday. "We think it can be very appealing from a fan's standpoint and an audience standpoint," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in the story.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy posted the same details on his Twitter channel, asking his "followers" to let him know what they thought.
Last year, the NFL shortened the time between first-round picks from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, and this year's first round took 3:23 — making it the fastest first round since 1990 (when there were four fewer teams in the league).
So what do yall think of this idea, leave a comment below and let me know.
