Kenan Fikri
Kenan Fikri is a senior research assistant at the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program.
Hiking payroll taxes on the country's working stiffs in the middle of a fledgling recovery—let alone during the holidays!—might not be smart macroeconomic policy, but in Washington's new "sur-reality" the prospect looms on the horizon. Should this occur, which places would be hit hardest by the expiration of payroll tax relief?
Individuals derive their income from three sources: Earnings for paid labor, investment income, and government transfers. Metropolitan area economies in which larger shares of total personal income are derived from earnings—the working stiff metros—are the ones that stand to take a disproportionate blow from Congressional inaction to extend the payroll tax cut.
The map below uses Bureau of Economic Analysis data from 2010 to break the country's 100 largest metropolitan areas into five groups according to the share of earnings in total area income. Workers win more of the bread in the blue metro areas and less in the red ones. Since the payroll tax hike would be levied against a larger share of total income in the blue working stiff metros, they stand to take the hardest hit.
Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program
Working stiff metros are neither uniformly white- nor blue-collar and can be found in every region of the country. Many have performed well over the recession and the recovery, but some have notably struggled.
Workers are the greatest breadwinners in high-wage, hyper-educated Washington, D.C., where they pull in fully 75.4 percent of all metro area income. Rounding out the top five are Houston, Denver, Nashville, and Dallas. A large federal government presence empowers breadwinners in Colorado Springs, Ogden, and Virginia Beach. Austin and San Jose represent a skilled and tech-y contingent. Des Moines and Worcester have had strong recoveries; Charlotte and Memphis, weaker ones. A number of other state capitals with diverse industrial bases round out the top 20: Atlanta, Columbus, Honolulu, Indianapolis, Raleigh, and Salt Lake City. Incomes (followed by spending) in these metros would feel the biggest impact from a payroll tax hike—a dose of anti-stimulus that could undermine their otherwise strong recoveries.
Relatively insulated from any potential payroll tax hike, meanwhile, are retiree hotspots in the Sun Belt and high-poverty or aging metropolitan areas mainly in the Rust Belt and California's Central Valley. These metros, in red on the map, depend least on workers' earnings as a source of income (although working stiffs still earn the majority of income in every metro area except Cape Coral and North Port, FL). Instead, income in these places is relatively more dependent on either investments or transfers, or both. Many—but not all—of these metros have struggled through recession and recovery.
Certainly, economic performance over recession and recovery explains some of the variation in earnings' share of total income across metropolitan areas. After all, automatic stabilizers in the form of government transfers kick in, by design, during recessions to support lost earnings. Underlying any cyclical noise, however, are real differences in the nature of economic activity in and across metropolitan area economies. Certain metros, structurally, subsist more on the earnings of working stiffs than others. These places have the most at stake in the current payroll tax cut debate.
The coronavirus crisis stands to dramatically reshape cities around the world. But the biggest revolutions in urban space may have begun before the pandemic.
What do we know so far about the types of places that are more susceptible to the spread of Covid-19? In the U.S., density is just the beginning of the story.
Now more than ever, public transportation is not just about ridership. Buses, trains, and subways make urban civilization possible.
To help get essential workers around, cities are revising traffic patterns, suspending public transit fares, and making more room for bikes and pedestrians.
In the U.K., researchers believe they can train dogs to sniff out the distinctive odor of coronavirus, potentially assisting in mass infection screening efforts.

Pine Creek athletic department under restriction for CHSAA violations
Pine Creek High School's entire athletic department has been placed under restriction by the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA), The Gazette in Colorado Springs reported on Tuesday.
Originally, it was believed that just Pine Creek's football and wrestling programs would face sanctions, but all 22 sports are affected.
Principal Kolette Beck declined to comment earlier in the week and referred all questions to District 20 public information officer Nanette Anderson, who has not returned multiple messages from The Denver Post. Athletic director Matt Mahan also did not return phone calls.

I was super excited when one of my sponsors BurlapFabric.com sent over some
If you haven't shopped them before- you should take a peek.
They have colored burlap, huge rolls of burlap, jute webbing, burlap and coffee sacks, etc.
When it arrived~ I was happy that the burlap was much better quality than the
garden burlap I had purchased before and that it also comes rolled up neat and tidy on a big roll
Oh and those the coffee sacks?
and I love how it turned out.
The rustic look was perfect for this nearly 9' long chippy painted farmhouse table.
I love their beautiful petals and the shabby soft look the peonies have as they are drying as well.
So while I was in my crazy burlap sewing mode...I also sewed a new tablecloth

1 hospitalized after 2-car Harford County crash
Fire officials: 52-year-old woman extricated from vehicle
Fire officials in Harford County said a two-car crash Tuesday afternoon in Joppatowne sent one of the drivers to a hospital.
Crews from the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Co., as well as other units in the area, were called to the intersection of Mountain Road and Philadelphia Road around 1:30 p.m., minutes after the crash was reported.
Fire officials said two people were injured, including a 52-year-old woman who was trapped in the driver's seat of her vehicle. She had to be extricated with the help of the jaws of life.
The 52-year-old woman was taken to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in stable condition. Officials said the other driver was treated at the scene.
Maryland State Police are still investigating the cause of the crash.

Question: An inductive coil has an internal resistance of 20 $\Omega$. When an AC Voltage source with a frequency of 100 Hz is connected to the coil, the current lags the voltage by 30 degrees. What is the value of the inductance L.
My Work: I am unsure where to begin here. If we know that $\omega_d=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$ and we also know that $f=2\pi \omega_d$, then we can just find the capacitance and solve for L in the first equation and we will have our answer. However, I am not sure how to find capacitance. Any help is appreciated.

XMA necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 135 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
My natural eczema treatment product, XMA needs a new logo.
See the current one at http://www.xma.com.au
My 5 year old natural eczema treatment product needs a makeover.
We inherited the brand when we took over but enough is enough, time for a change. The product is all natural and the design needs to reflect this, without being too "washy" if you know what I mean. Still needs to stand out from the crowd.
Our main competitors are http://www.hopes.com.au and http://www.itchy.net.au and the winning design will be seen on multiple websites and in stores all over Australia as we sell thousands of jars each month all over the world.
The XMA needs to be prominent as the main brand with a sub brand of "Relief Cream" or "Skin Therapy".
Extra points if you show it on a cosmetic tube for effect. It will be used on something like this (Will probably be all white tube - though open to suggestions!) http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thu…c_tube.jpg
Happy to look at a character type logo if it works, similar to Nudie Fruit Juice at http://www.nudie.com.au - Up to you
The winning design will have 1st shot at the label design as well.
I will give constant feedback along the way.
As an example of a design I really like see http://www.woolworths.com.au - the new logo says fresh and natural without being sterotypical.
Good Luck!
P.S. Keep it up everyone, Looking Great!
- XMA to be the predominant brand
- Sub brand under logo ie. Skin Therapy, Relief Cream, Baby etc
- Natural Feel
- Natural feel that gets lost in the crowd, still needs a point of difference.

Too caught up in schmoozing to post anything yesterday, but I had the chance to enjoy several sessions. First off was 'The Arab Social Web', with the speakers Mohamed Najem, Co-founder of Social Media Exchange and Moeed Ahmad, Head of New Media at Al Jazeera, discussing how social media enable people in their region to circumvent censorship and other restricting factors.
The best session of the day was 'Once Upon These Times: New Stories for New Audiences' with Jeremy Ettinghausen, Digital Publisher at Penguin Books, and Matt Locke, Commissioning Editor at Channel 4 Education. They presented six stories about storytelling, using successful examples to drive home key points:
1. You Suck at Photoshop, key point: hide stories in unexpected places
2. Surrender Control, key point: give yourself ridiculous restraints
3. We Tell Stories, key point: experiment outside your comfort zones
4. I am Cherry Girl, key point: invent a character without a storyline
5. Yu-Gi-Oh!, key point: give fans stuff to play with
6. Smokescreen, key point: create stories you can binge on when you want
I had the chance to sit down with Jeremy after he spoke. What was supposed to be an interview turned into a lovely discussion about books and the industry, but I'll hopefully have the chance to catch up with him, and other speakers in the coming days.

So this year seeing as we are poor students and can't send out Christmas cards, I still wanted to do one that everyone could see.
Ryan is in his second year of Medical School and is doing so well. He is loving learning everything and loves to come home and practice all his techniques on me which is wonderful. He is doing so well and will find out in February where he will begin his rotations in the summer. He is the most wonderful father and loves spending time with the boys when ever he gets home from school. Ryan is the Scout Committee Chairman in our ward and loves working with the boys. He is such an example to me about hard work. He would do anything for our family and loves just being at home and relaxing with us when he has the time.
I (Heather) love being a stay at home mom and am so grateful that I have the opportunity to do so. I love Colorado other than the fact the we are so far away from family. I also love the weather here. I am determined to learn how to ski or snow board one of these days but who knows when that will happen. Recently I have taken up sewing and love making little things for my boys. I have made a lot of their Christmas presents this year which was so much fun and probably will be appreciated more now that when they are older and don't want moms homemade clothes and stuff. I am a Visiting Teaching Supervisor in our ward and love getting to know the other women in the ward.
Blake will be 3 years old in February. He is such a smart little boy. He is constantly talking and learning new things every day. He has been potty trained for the past 3 months which has made my life so much easier. He loves reading books with us and playing with any type of car or truck that he can find. As Ryan would say " he is such a boy" which I guess is a good thing. Blake loves to play with his best little friend named Levi. They are so cute together and could play for hours with each other. Blake definitely teaches me something every day.
Carter will be 9 months old the day after Christmas. He is such a joy in my life. After having colic for the first 4 months of his life he has definitely turned out to be such a happy little kid. He is a pro crawler and starting to pull his self up on anything and everything. Carter thinks that Blake is the most hilarious kid ever. He laughs so hard at any thing that Blake does and even tries to copy him whenever he can. Carter loves to be outside and loves to go on walks. He is such a wonderful addition to this family and we love him so much.
We are so grateful to be where we are in life and know that trials make us stronger. We love our families so much and are so grateful for their love and support of us. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and pray that we can all keep the true meaning of Christmas in our hearts this holiday season.
Love, The West Family

Dear Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra,
I hear that Asians aren't allowed to play in your famed ensemble. I first learned this by listening to Jian Ghomeshi's guest on "Q," William Osborne -- an American composer based in Germany -- who has been advocating for greater diversity in the VPO for years now.
First off, as the unofficial-unelected-self-appointed-spokesman-for-all-Asians-everywhere, allow me to reassure you, as Asians... we get it.
If I bought tickets to see The Harlem Globetrotters, I wouldn't want to see a bunch of red-haired, freckled-faced, white boys. Ain't nobody got time for that! If I go to Hooters, I don't wanna be served by a dude! I mean where would it end? Animals demanding to perform at Cirque du Soleil?!
But let's face it, your PR problems aren't going away. As Osborne pointed out: you were the last orchestra in the world to admit women. And the fact that your history is so intimately intertwined with Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich isn't exactly helping.
It's also becoming increasingly difficult to claim that Asians aren't good enough musically. After all, fully a quarter of the students admitted to Vienna's famed University of Music and Performing Arts come from Japan, Korea and China. And given the shortage of qualified local Aryans, you've actually had to resort to hiring white-only foreigners.
Luckily for you, I have just the solution!
Have Asian musicians play in white-face. Think about it. Your patrons probably can't see so well. So why not have your Korean second violinist simply wear a platinum wig?
I can already feel you squirming. Who in HR is going to have THAT conversation? "Roosevelt Wang, your audition was exceptional, but how do you feel about colored contact lenses?"
Don't worry. I know kids like these. If you had the misfortune to be born to Asian parents who had classical music designs on you as a fetus, you never had a life. You never went to sleepovers. You missed your prom. In fact, you may still be a virgin!
Asian kids who spent 100,000+ hours weeping into their cellos would consider modifying their appearance to be a very small price to pay for a chance to play in the same hall where Mozart once conducted. Plus, lots of Asians are trying to look white anyhow. Kids from Tokyo all have rust colored hair, and epicanthic eyelid surgery is all the rage in Asia.
But what of those eagle-eyed patrons sitting in your first and second rows? What about the close intimacy of chamber music ensembles? No problem. Just increase the realism.
After all, we Asians are nothing if not determined. Even if it means going on YouTube to learn special effects makeup tricks to appear 10 years older, Asians will do whatever it takes to appear more convincingly white, and do our part to maintain the illusion of Germanic cultural supremacy.
Sincerely yours,
P.S. I hear Yo-Yo Ma has an opening in his schedule. He's so nice, I'm sure he'd be delighted to stay out of the sun for you :)

The most determined Dublin Fringe Festival fans might power through the 17-day festival without a single stop for food, satisfied beyond hunger and thirst by the enormous menu of theatre, art and performance already on their plate…
But realistically, you're going to need a bite to eat.
Neil Watkins is a big cheese on the Dublin Fringe scene and knows a thing or two about dining out in Dublin to boot.
This year he presents Dinner and a Show, a decadent feast of disco and food. What a combo! What better man to guide us around his favourite Dublin spots for pre-theatre dinner and post-show drinks?
It may only be open a little over a year but the Fumbally has become a foodie hub thanks to its simple, but delicious spreads and chilled-out atmosphere. Its food comes from some of the city's finest sources and is melded into something wholly unique.
Neil says: I love this space so much I got a job here. Fumbally opens occasionally for evening gigs and you can enjoy a dish of something mighty tasty for a reasonable price.
We recommend: The Fumbally's porchetta and apple sauce ciabatta is so good it earned it a place in the Observer's Top 50 Foodie Picks.
French restaurant, L'Gueuleton, is set in the heart of Dublin's creative quarter – as good for the people-watching as for the soupe a l'oignon. And if you're there in seson they do an amazing venison dish. Magnifique!
Neil says: I love the atmosphere there. The food always hits the spot – if you don't want to gorge, you can't go wrong with French onion soup and fries.
We recommend: L'Gueuleton might bring out the best in Gallic flavours, but its Rare Breed Pork Belly is Irish meat at its freshest and most flavourful.
In a city of full of pubs, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. But that's exactly what Grogan's does. The perfect place to grab a sandwich and a pint and escape the bustle of the city. Or, come night time, a buzzing spot with a traditional heart. Unfussy and authentic, it's a winner.
Neil says: Friendly clientele, a laid back atmosphere and a lovely Guinness. It's usually a pint of blackcurrant for me, but we'll see how long that lasts…
We recommend: Officially the king of the Dublin toastie.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
The former home of the much-loved South William club, Damson Diner has quickly established itself for offering the city's best spot for cocktails – dinner and dancing, all rolled into one.
Neil says: I ended up in the Damson Diner on South William Street. Great tunes played by Sally Foran – though I much prefer dancing outside, when the opportunity arises. Recently, nearby at the Stag's Head a guy randomly set up a sound system and had a whole street party brewing, you get these spontaneous occurrences a lot in Dublin City!
We recommend: The disco scene is throwing glitter all over town at the minute. Try Together Disco, Damson Diner's Damn Son!, Nightflight and Mother for full-on glam.
And if none of that tickles your tummy's fancy, Supperette is a transient food station that will be set up in the Project Arts Centre from the 7 until the 14 of September, or chow down at Dinner and a show with Neil Watkins himself from the 17 until the 20 September.
Don't forget your appetite because Dublin is getting tastier by the second.

First off that is a beautiful G-1 kit! Looks like it was re-parked and the wood is in great condition. Yes I believe most metric mags will work though someone else might have had other experiences.
The "locking lug" is most likely the "locking shoulder" seen here Locking Shoulder, .256 - .267-D S Arms
this is the way Fals are head spaced.
As far as which reciever; I perfer DSA receivers as they just look nicer. But at the end of the day both receivers work it is just price/looks.
If you dropped 9 bills and that included the receiver then that's not bad, if it was without that receiver in the picture then ya it wasn't such a good buy, but you have rare and a beautiful kit!

Why TTM Autographs Are Perfect for Tough Times
By indyreds AKA Mike Greene
I know that the economy has been a little rough and many of us are cutting back or trying to make our collection dollars stretch further than before. The county I work in is currently at over a 17% unemployment rate and the National unemployment rate is now over 9%! Many collectors have a much more limited budget for their hobby as we all tighten our belts. While I am one of the lucky ones who
Autographs Hot or Not?
by Mike Greene, Jr. AKA indyreds
It seems like there are always trends in the collectible world and I can not help but wonder about autographs in the long term. Will they still hold the same place for sports fans or will they just fade away? We have seen what over production can do to sports cards. Will there continue to be enough demand to keep up with all the supply out there? Why do we find them so desirable in the first place? Will there even be autographs
I was just looking aroung the TTMM database here at SCF and found out that we have over 1600 new addresses added this year. It is nice to see that we may still hit 5,000 new addresses added in 2010. I will admit that I was a little nervous when we first rolled it out last year. We had a few members who really did not seem to warm to the idea of the database set up at first. It looks like a whole that the SCF autograph community has warmed to the idea alot since then. Thanks to all of you who have
The TTM database has been installed and is doing very well at this point. For the most part it was recieved positively. I was a little nervous about the release and a little shocked that we are still having so many successes posted in autograph central that are not going into the TTM Manager! Hopefully as more members give it a shot they will realize all the new tools at their disposal. I personally have enjoyed the tracking feature of the database. It is cool to see who I had sent to and when the
It has been awhile since my last blog entry. It is nice to see the returns picking up not just for me, but for others on the site as well. My best few autos since my last blog entry actually were email requests from Mary Tyler Moore, Anne Murray and Shirley McClaine. My sports autos have been coming along fine as well. The one I liked the most was since my last post was an 8x10 of Sparky Anderson. We have lost some great TTM guys rescently as George Kell has passed and John Wooden no longer signs

I spent the 2000s completing a PhD in computer science at UNSW in Sydney, developing new approaches to dynamic extension and hot swapping features for the Haskell programming language. I also worked on compiler optimizations for GHC, leading to "stream fusion" (parodied in this comic strip). At the same time I squeezed in a lot of open source hacking, and co-wrote "Real World Haskell", a book on Haskell programming.
I then worked at Galois, Inc. in Portland, Oregon, for four years, as a researcher doing Haskell programming for high assurance systems — particularly using DSLs and compiler technology.
I moved to New York in 2011 to build trading systems in Haskell for Standard Chartered Bank, eventually landing in London. Over 6 years I built a team of 40 Haskell devs writing code for all parts of the financial markets business at SCB.
In 2017 I joined Facebook as engineering manager for the Infer static analysis team.

Welcome to our coverage of WWE Unforgiven. We will be updating this page throughout the evening, so check back often for updates. Coverage will begin at the conclusion of the first match.
Unforgiven opened with a video package highlighting the major matches (Edge-Cena, DX-McMahons & Show) on the PPV.
Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro, with Melina, vs. Jeff Hardy.
There was a "Hardy" chant as soon as the theme music ended. They locked up, with Hardy breaking clean on the ropes as Nitro stepped to the apron. Nitro got back in and grabbed an armdrag. Nitro bragged about his move. There was a "Nitro Sucks" chant. Nitro blocked a hiptoss, but messed up on flipping over it. Hardy came back with an armdrag of his own and applied an armbar. Hardy slid under Nitro as he escaped and then hit another armdrag. Hardy leapfrogged Nitro as he tried a whip in the corner, then hit another armdrag. Nitro came back with some kicks, but Hardy avoided an armdrag grabbed an Oklahoma Roll for two, then grabbed another armdrag.
Nitro started throwing forearms, but Hardy grabbed a backslide as he tried a neckbreaker for a two count. Hardy hit a double legdrop to the "lower abdomen" and Nitro went to the floor to regroup. There was a "Hardy" chant. Nitro hit some forearms and whipped Hardy hard into a corner, then measured him with big punches. Hardy reversed a whip, and Nitro tried a leapfrog, but Hardy avoided it and dropkicked Nitro into a corner. Hardy hit some punches and a kick out of the corner off the ropes, then set up for a Swanton. Nitro rolled out of the ring, and Hardy hit a baseball slide. Hardy brought back his old "walking the security wall" spot, hitting a clothesline on the floor.
Back in the ring, Hardy went to climb the ropes, but Nitro dropkicked him down. Nitro applied a spinning toehold and dropped down on the leg. Nitro hit the move again, then backed Hardy in a corner and kicked at his leg. Hardy battled back with punches. Hardy missed an enzugiri, and Nitro slammed Hardy's knee into the mat. Nitro scored a two count. Nitro stood on Hardy's foot and kicked his leg. Nitro stayed on the leg, kicking it out from under Jeff for a two count. Nitro went to the floor, pulling Hardy's leg across the apron, and pounded it. Nitro slingshotted onto the leg as it was stretched across the apron.
Nitro took it back into the ring, scoring a two count and continuing to work on the left leg of Hardy, putting on a modified Indian Deathlock. Nitro pulled on the leg, then hit a shinbuster before kicking the leg again. Nitro put Hardy's leg on the second rope and dropped his knee across it, then applied an ankle lock. Hardy tried to rally with some chops, but Nitro hit a chopblock on the knee. Nitro went to the top rope for a corkscrew moonsault, but Hardy moved out of the way and Nitro crashed to the mat.

Hardy held onto the ropes, and Nitro crashed to the mat. Hardy then hit the Swanton, then crawled onto Nitro for the cover, but Nitro got his foot on the bottom rope. Nitro lunged at Hardy's leg, but Hardy grabbed a sunset flip, only for Nitro to roll through it into an ankle lock. Hardy hit a mule kick to escape, then went for a Twist Of Fate, but Nitro grabbed the leg to escape and applied an ankle lock with a leglace. Hardy reached for the ropes, but Nitro pulled him back into the center of the ring to reapply the hold. There were chants for Nitro and Hardy at this point. Hardy made the ropes to escape the hold.
Nitro went for the leg again, but Hardy kicked him away, and into Melina, who had gotten on the apron. Melina was knocked to the floor and Hardy rolled up Nitro for a two count. Nitro charged Hardy, who backdropped him to the ring apron. Nitro went to the top rope and jumped off, attempting a rana, but Hardy caught it and powerbombed Nitro to the mat. Hardy slumped against the ropes after the move, and Melina (who had removed her boot after falling to the floor), blasted Hardy in the head with the heel of her boot. Hardy fell to the mat and Nitro got the pin at the nineteen minute mark.

As they brawled in the crowd, the referee counted out both men at the eight minute mark.
Result: Double countout.
They brawled all the way to the back, as fans booed the result.
Backstage, the McMahons were watching footage from Raw, and bragging about beating DX. Shane said he would take them down, and Vince could just cover them for the pin. Vince said that unlike Canada, which has all of their allies do the work, he wanted to be the one to put DX down and beat them.
World Tag Team Champions The Spirit Squad vs. The Highlanders.
Mikey and Kenny are wrestling for the Squad tonight. Rory started out with Mikey, grabbing a sunset flip for a two count. Mikey hit a back elbow, but missed a charge in the corner. Rory rammed Mikey into the turnbuckles, and then into the head of Robbie for a two count. Robbie tagged in and headbutted the outstretched arm of Mikey.

Tenby has a long and enviable reputation as a great place for a family holiday, and renting a cottage or house for one or two weeks is a cost-effective way of finding accommodation, either as a single family or for an extended family to get together and share the cost.
There are house and cottage rentals available right through the holiday season, with prices being higher during the school holidays. Some rentals are in the town of Tenby itself, while others are cottages either inland or with spectacular coastal views.
Another option is to rent a fixed caravan or chalet on one of several sites in the Tenby area. These are generally cheaper than cottages or houses, but with fewer facilities on offer.
Tenby is justly famed for its safe sandy beaches which regularly receive blue flag awards for cleanliness. Lifeguards patrol the main beaches during the summer months.
Tenby's North Beach is close to the town centre and is extremely popular in summer. It is safe and flat, and children will love exploring the rock pools near the cliffs and Goscar Rock, which is a prominent feature of the beach.
South Beach is less commercialised than North Beach, running away from the town for over a mile and backed by sand dunes. There are fine views towards Caldy Island.
Castle Beach is in a small cove overlooked by the town and the ruins of Tenby Castle. It is possible to walk across to St Catherine's Island at low tide.
Harbour Beach adjoins North Beach but is more sheltered. Boat trips to Caldy Island leave from here at high tide (and from Castle Beach at low tide).
Tenby's narrow streets are lined with terraced houses, a number of which are available as holiday lets, which makes a beach holiday with a young family very convenient and attractive.
Tenby can offer a huge range of sports for young and old, both for the adventurous and the less energetic. Visitors are welcome to play at Tenby Golf Club, on a renowned links course alongside South Beach. Water sports include surfing on South Beach and jet skiing and kayaking from North Beach. Coasteering is very popular, involving cliff scrambling and jumping under expert supervision.
Tenby is sited on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which offers magnificent cliff walks in both directions from the town into an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is the UK's only coastal National Park.
Tenby has much to offer the budget-conscious family in this very special part of Wales. Taking a cottage or house for a week or more is an excellent way to have a memorable holiday.

I had a twenty-minute telephone conversation yesterday with an earnest and good-natured guy at DIRECTV that illustrated the shortcomings of customer service in our era of social engagement. In a sentence, service still has nothing to do with reacting to customer requests or fixing problems, and everything to do with precluding them in the first place.
I'd called the company to cancel our subscription to Showtime, for which we'd been paying $12 every month and rarely watched. Interestingly, my self-empowering account log-in on the web would let me buy anything, but I had to call before I could cancel something. Doing so got me switched to someone I'd imagine has a title like "account recovery expert" or "sales renewal associate."
I let him do his thing, which started with trying to understand what kind of movies I like to watch (I said I don't), and then moved to selling me other entertainment packages and Internet services. It was exhausting, for him, but I just went along for the ride until he faced the inevitability of my cancellation and, about twenty minutes after I'd first called, gave me what I had asked for. Nothing had changed, only we were both a bit older.
I couldn't help but think what a waste of time and effort, and what DIRECTV could have done with those resources in a proactive approach to customer service:
Told me first. I know I've probably signed away my every TV viewing habit to the company's data crunchers, and I must say I wouldn't have been perturbed had it reached out to me and suggested I cancel Showtime. It's like mobile providers that happily let customers accrue zillions of unused call minutes because the fine print says they'll eventually expire. Couldn't DIRECTV review my account every few months and send me an email suggesting ways I could save money on stuff I don't use? It's like they're betting that so many of us numbnut viewers won't notice we're wasting money (it took me almost a year to come to that conclusion, sadly).
Given me a customized deal. I imagine DIRECTV has two goals for its customer relationships: maintain or grow charges/month, and keep those relationships going over time. The sales guy should have had access to my file and noticed we'd downloaded a half-dozen teen horror movies over last few months, surmised that we have a teenager in our household, and offered some special package for the next chunk of those flicks. Since I was ready to dump Showtime, why not offer me another month of it for free, with the encouragement of giving it a shot? It was like he wasn't really talking to me, per se, but simply throwing out generic sales pitches.
Rewarded my loyalty. The ugly truth of most any subscription relationship is that current customers are constantly reminded that new ones get better deals, albeit for a limited time. I swear my DIRECTV monthly bill is almost twice what it was when I installed the service a year ago. Isn't that bass-ackwards? I have no idea what the company spends to sign new customers, but wouldn't it be better service (and more profitable) to offer a series of benefits, or cost-savings to existing customers, and thereby keep them loyal and happy? I get better perks from my local pizzeria.
More broadly, my telephone experience reminded me that the time to provide customer service isn't when there are problems, but to commit to it proactively so as to preclude them. Satisfied and happy customers generate far more valuable and reliable social memes than those who have to publicly complain in order to get a wrong righted.
I don't understand why most services brands don't have "customer satisfaction" groups instead of "customer service" departments. Waiting for complaints, whether direct, as in my case, or on a public social platform, affords brands the chance of getting reputations back to the starting line. Hopefully. It also tacitly accepts the probability that a lot of customers are dissatisfied, but simply haven't complained yet.
Proactively making sure customers stay happy moves the satisfaction needle forward.


text: We're celebrating the first anniversary of Blacktip Reef by highlighting some of the amazing animals that call our newest exhibit home! The Humphead Wrasse (sometimes called the Napoleon Wrasse) is one of the largest fish you'll find in a coral reef, and he's quite the sight to see! With large lips and a characteristic bump on its forehead, it's not hard to guess where this fish gets its name. With a lifetime spanning more than 30 years, the Humphead Wrasse can grow up to six feet and a colossal 400 pounds—that's about the size of a full grown male gorilla! These reef behemoths have a few other remarkable qualities, like a rare immunity to certain toxins found in sea stars, boxfish and sea hares. And did you know? A Humphead Wrasse can change its sex, sometimes transitioning from female to male later in life. Our Humphead Wrasse loves the camera, so don't be surprised to catch him front and center on our Shark Cam. Check back all week as we continue to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Blacktip Reef!

Say hello baseball's off-season. Time for this report, then a different report, then yet another different one. It is part of the process and unique to baseball. You just don't hear the same kind of rumors in other pro sports.
Years ago when Wheels and I were the PR team, he used to kid, "Baron, we should be the department of confirmation and denials." Seldom, it seemed, are announcements surprises. Oh, it happened recently with Thome.
When more than one person knows a deal has been made or a free agent has been signed, it is tough to keep it quiet.
Banquet Circuit
Tonight, Curt Simmons is among the 2011 inductees into the Philadelphia Pro Sports Hall of Fame.
On Saturday, Shane Victorino receives the Branch Rickey Award for contributions in the community by the Denver (CO) Rotary Club.
Speaking of the community, Cole, through the Hamels Foundation, is having a pitching clinic on Saturday and Sunday at the Maple Zone Sports & Fitness in Boothwyn, PA.
Monday, the Jimmy Rollins Foundation is having a charity event at the National Constitution Center. Sure there will be media coverage as they will pester J-Roll on his free agency status.

**Thursday, NL Cy Young.
Following week will be the MVP announcements.

I'm currently reading Jerome K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)," the bloggiest book of the 19th century. Since it concerns the adventures of three 19th-century bachelors and a dog rowing a small skiff down the Thames and camping along the way, there is unsurprisingly a lot of emphasis on the procurement, enjoyment, storage and preparation of food. This isn't by any means the funniest bit in the book, but I found it resonant:
How good one feels when one is full — how satisfied with ourselves and with the world! People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained. One feels so forgiving and generous after a substantial and well-digested meal — so noble-minded, so kindly-hearted.
It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions. After eggs and bacon, it says, "Work!" After beefsteak and porter, it says, "Sleep!" … After hot muffins, it says, "Be dull and soulless, like a beast of the field — a brainless animal, with listless eye, unlit by any ray of fancy, or of hope, or fear, or love, or life." And after brandy, taken in sufficient quantity, it says, "Now come, fool, grin and tumble, that your fellow-men may laugh — driven in folly, and splutter in senseless sounds, and show what a helpless ninny is poor man whose wit and will are drowned, like kittens, side by side, in half an inch of alcohol."
We are but the veriest, sorriest slaves of our stomach. Reach not after morality and righteousness, my friends; watch vigilantly your stomach, and diet it with care and judgment. Then virtue and contentment will come and reign within your heart, unsought by any effort of your own; and you will be a good citizen, a loving husband, and a tender father — a noble, pious man.
Now, as it happens I do not react to either muffins or steak in quite the way Jerome describes, nor do I have any wish to be a tender father. But of course those specifics aren't the point. The point is that this sort of normal, attentive, joyful, purposeful eating is a real and tragic casualty of our cultural quest for thinness. It's terrible the way mini-mania erodes the self-esteem of all sizes of women, but it's also terrible that it makes us unable to enjoy food qua food.The idea that food of different kinds can feed your body and mind in different and necessary ways, that you can't be functional or kind without it (Jerome goes on to describe his normally cantankerous compatriots' changed countenances after a good meal), that eating "with care" can mean eating as well and as mindfully as possible instead of as little as possible — these concepts seem as archaic as a boating holiday on the Thames.
We — all of us, but especially women — attach moral value to hunger in modern society. It's virtuous to go without; it's sinful or decadent to indulge. What if we turned this idea on its head? What if the compassion and goodwill and contentment that come from a full stomach were more morally valuable than privation? What if we recognized that allowing food to be a valuable — but not paramount — part of our lives made us kinder to others and to ourselves?
One to chew on, if you'll excuse me. Meanwhile, I think I'll have that whiskey now.

An individual can be adopted at any point of his/her age irrespective of the religion and nationality. Adoption is like a God's grace to the orphans. It comes like a holy charm, helps in the reorientation of life and thus paves the future of an entity. It is a very common practice in the United States of America.
Many details about the adoptee and adoptive parents, age at the time of adoption, date and place of adoption, registration details, maiden name of the birth mother (if permissible), race, gender, citizenship, occupation of the adoptive parents, guardianship specifics and the likes are thus available with the Gilliam County, Oregon public adoption data site at an ease.
One can therefore retrieve meticulous and copious information including birth and birth certificate numbers, marriage and separation proceedings, death and demise reports along with burial and cemetery details, civil war data, naturalization and immigration accounts with census archive, military achievements history and enlistment details, civil court actions, land assessment and allocation details, last will and estate specifics, legal suits and guardianship figures regarding the scheduled will left by the forefathers and so on from the online public adoption records directory of the Gilliam County, OR that constitute the vital and public statistics to a great extent.

Selki necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 69 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Hi. I am a young woman starting my dream of a raw vegan dessert and snack company. If you are unfamiliar with the "raw food world," it's basically the healthiest way you can make food, especially desserts, bc everything is natural, mostly organic, not processed, and full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. And absolutely delicious! I make raw chocolates, cupcakes (the cake is made out of nuts and dates), pies, more cakes, ice creams (made from nuts or coconut), and many other treats. I started making food for myself, and then my friends and then friends of friends, and now hopefully for many many people :) I would like the logo to be fun, classy, and a maybe a little sassy.
My desired audience will be raw food enthusiasts, and more importantly, the average Joe or Sally who really wants to have some dessert but realizes that the Chips A Hoy cookies keep sending them back to the doctor. I really want my company to appeal to everyone, not just the "whoo whoo" hippie raw food people (and I say that with love, as I am very into raw food!)
The main thing I want my company to exude is that one doesn't have to feel guilty about eating my delicious desserts or snacks bc they are truly good for you. Nor do you have to eat sugar free fat free processed junk with chemicals in it to lose weight. My REAL, natural, succulent treats will make you think they are unhealthy, but they are actually benefiting your health, and helping you stave off diseases and weight gain. This is really important to me. I want to break the whole "dessert is only for special occasions, and/or I should feel guilty when I eat it" mantra.
Words associated with my products: delicious, pure, healthy, clean, empowering, fun, sexy, funky, refreshing, satisfying, mmmmm, zingy, freeing, feeling like you are bending the rules, bliss, strength, power, energy, raw, natural state, earth, abundance, ripe, high quality, life, feeds your cells, uplifting.... Just to give you an idea of the picture I want to create.
1. No cartoons please I want it fun, but not cheap or childlike
2. Please no hippy, goddess pictures
3. I would love to see the essence of what I'm trying to create played out in the wording of the name
4. Have fun!! :) And thank you for helping me create this. It is much appreciated.

Building a 10 GigE storage network
10 Gbps Ethernet is here, with plenty of products available, so it's only a matter of time before most data storage shops decide to step up from 1 GigE to 10 GigE.
- Dennis Martin, Demartek
10 Gbps Ethernet is here, with plenty of products available, so it's only a matter of time before most data storage shops decide to step up from 1 GigE to 10 GigE.
Many data centers still use Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) -- or 1 GigE -- to handle normal local-area network (LAN) traffic between laptop computers, desktop computers, file servers and application servers. But many application and file servers currently use multiple 1 GigE network interface cards (NICs) because they need more total bandwidth. It's not uncommon to see four, six or eight 1 GigE ports in these servers. Some of the ports are used for management functions, while others are dedicated to network traffic flow, including some file or block storage traffic. Certainly, with the increasing adoption of virtualization, we find that more network bandwidth is needed.
The solution has actually been lurking deep inside the data center for a few years: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GigE). This technology, as its name implies, is 10 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet, and was actually ratified as a standard back in 2002. However, its price point has been too high for a very long time, so adoption during its first few years was limited to data center core networking, where the higher bandwidth and price could be justified. Initially, it was used primarily for switch-to-switch connections for trunking of network connections. Earlier implementations of 10 GigE also used different cabling and connector technologies requiring fiber-optic or specialized copper cabling. For several years, 10 GigE couldn't use the same type of familiar cabling we use for Gigabit Ethernet and the slower speeds of Ethernet.
Growing use of 10 GigE
In the last few years, however, 10 GigE has been increasingly deployed not only at the network switch but within application servers. Although it's still somewhat expensive, the price per port for 10 GigE technology has dropped enough to make it viable for more organizations. Many of the blade servers introduced in the last two or three years have two or more 10 GigE ports on the blade chassis that allow for increased total bandwidth into and out of the blade chassis. More recently, 10GBASE-T was introduced, which makes 10 GigE technology available with cabling and connectors that are very similar to the familiar Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables we use today for Gigabit Ethernet.
Servers, solid-state spur adoption
In early 2012, another event occurred that's expected to stimulate the adoption of 10 GigE. The major server vendors introduced new servers built around Intel's newest server processors (Intel Xeon E5 series, formerly known as "Romley") that have options for 10 GigE connections directly on the motherboard or a nearby daughterboard. By having 10 GigE as a factory option on individual servers, the transition to 10 GigE is expected to be easier and more appealing to a larger number of organizations.
In addition to server virtualization driving the need for more network bandwidth, solid-state storage or solid-state drive (SSD) technology is also driving up CPU and network utilization. As SSDs in various form factors are deployed more widely, storage performance (typically among the slowest performing parts of an IT infrastructure) is increasing, which has a ripple effect on other technologies. We've observed in our Demartek Labs testing that SSDs and 10 GigE go well together.
Due to all these factors, some industry analysts who observe the networking market are making some pretty strong predictions about the growth of the 10 GigE market over the next three or four years. At Demartek Labs, we're conducting an increasing number of server and storage hardware and software tests that require or prefer 10 GigE.
10 GigE ports
One of the advantages 10 GigE has over 1 GigE is that 10x more bandwidth can be achieved in the same form factor. This applies to switch ports and host adapter ports. In a host server, for example, if eight 1 GigE NIC ports are required, this can be achieved by using two quad-port, four dual-port or eight single-port NICs. This consumes either two, four or eight I/O slots in the server and results in eight cables running from the server. This may work for some environments, but not all servers have that many slots or you may want to use some of the server I/O slots for other purposes, such as RAID controllers, Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), PCI Express (PCIe) SSDs and so on. Using 10 GigE, one dual-port 10 GigE NIC could be used and it would provide more than the bandwidth of eight 1 GigE NIC ports on a single port with still another port for failover or other management purposes. This would consume only one I/O slot, freeing up I/O slots and potentially consuming less electrical power. It would also require no more than two cables. Alternatively, the same dual-port 10 GigE NIC could be placed into a smaller form factor server, such as a 1U server with only a couple of slots, while still providing plenty of network bandwidth.
A dual-port 10 GigE NIC requires a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot to ensure maximum bandwidth at full duplex operation. Some dual-port 10 GigE NICs support PCIe 1.0 x16 slots. A single-port 10 GigE NIC can work in a PCIe 1.0 x8 slot or a PCIe 2.0 x4 slot. PCIe 3.0 slots aren't required for a dual-port 10 GigE NIC, and true PCIe 3.0 Ethernet adapters won't be available until probably late 2012 or 2013.
10 GigE adapters
Additional features are available with 10 GigE adapters. There are versions of these adapters from several adapter vendors that have TCP/IP offload engines (TOE), iSCSI offload, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or all three. These can improve performance in some instances, and in most cases reduce the host CPU utilization by offloading these functions onto the adapter. The adapters that support TCP/IP, iSCSI offload and FCoE together are known as converged network adapters (CNAs) and provide an interesting blend of traffic on the same wire at the same time. This function requires Data Center Bridging (DCB) in the switch to operate. Demartek Labs has published plenty about how this works, as well as the results of some of our lab results. Some performance reports are available on Demartek's FCoE Zone website.
Most of the Ethernet switch vendors provide 10 GigE switches with a variety of port counts and some with support for DCB. Some of these switches have ports than can support both 1 GigE and 10 GigE, provided the same form factor of connector is used for both. If your switches have ports that support both speeds with the appropriate transceivers or connectors, this can help smooth the transition to 10 GigE.
Connectors and cables
There are basically two common styles of connectors and cables used for 10 GigE. The most common today is the SFP+ connector, which can be used with fiber-optic cables or copper cables. For fiber-optic cables, these are known as OM3, OM4 or OS1. These days, OM4 is the recommended multi-mode fiber-optic cable for 10 GigE, but OM3 is generally considered to be a minimum requirement. OS1 is used for very long distances, up to 10 km or 6.2 miles. SFP+ connectors are also available on copper cables with the distance limited to within a rack or a nearby rack.
The other 10 GigE form factor that's beginning to gain a great deal of attention is 10GBASE-T. This style of cable isn't directly compatible with SFP+ but uses the familiar RJ45 plug on the cable. The recommendation for 10GBASE-T is to use Cat 6a or Cat 7 cable, but Cat 6 can work for distances up to 55 meters. Cat 5e cable isn't recommended for 10 GigE. Adapter vendors are making models of their 10 GigE adapters with either SFP+ or 10GBASE-T ports.
The majority of 10 GigE switches support SFP+ connectors and transceivers, but we're seeing a number of 10 GigE switches that support 10GBASE-T. The 10GBASE-T products have been a few years behind the SFP+ products, but the 10GBASE-T form factor is expected to gain acceptance more quickly. Some switches are becoming available that have SFP+ ports and 10GBASE-T ports.
A wider wire
10 GigE promises to deliver a lot more networking "punch" while consuming fewer server I/O slots and less cabling. 10 GigE switches provide the opportunity to consolidate networks into simpler infrastructures and network topologies because a large number of 1 GigE ports can be combined into 10 GigE ports while providing more total bandwidth.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
With the Scrypt ASIC race heating up and things moving towards more powerful miners getting available on the market very soon the prices of the Gridseed ASIC miners are getting lower and lower. Gridseed even recently announced that they have stopped producing the smaller 5-chip Inifinity USB miners, though the larger G-Blades are apparently still being made. The good news is that the prices of the Gridseed ASIC miners are getting lower while the distributors and sellers are clearing up their stock, so you can get to buy them at some pretty low prices. We have checked and compiled a list of the latest prices you can buy Gridseed Infinity USB and G-Blade ASIC miners. Do note that while the prices are up to almost twice as low in some places compared to the prices few weeks ago, this does not guarantee quick return of investment, though it should be faster than buying at the old prices.
MinerEU currently has the small 5-chip Gridseed ASICs for $65 USD, the large 80-chip G-Blade at $960 USD and they have even listed the new Gridseed A2 ASIC miner based on the 28nn Innosilicon A2 Terminator chips, though that one is still pretty expensive at $12000 USD. These are probably the best prices you can currently get for Gridseed ASIC miners shipped from Europe.
GAW Miners is a great choice for buying from if you are based in USA. They currently have the smaller 5-chip Gridseed ASICs at $79.95 USD and the bigger 80-chip G-Blades for $949.95 USD. They do not yet have the new A2 listed, however they are already taking preorders for new more powerful Scrypt ASIC miners with their own branding.
JustASIC based in USA, but apparently shipping in EU too through partnership with MinerEU have almost the same prices as their partners. They do sell the 5-chip ASICS only in packs of 20 however in order to get a $65 USD per device price and the G-Blade is $940 USD, no other miners are available.
EyeBoot based in Hong Kong, China has their lowest price of a single 5-chip Gridseed ASIC at $110 USD, though for larger number of units you can get lower than that. They are still selling the G-Blade miner pretty high at a price of $1700 USD, so not a good idea to buy it from them at the moment.
Zoomhash based in USA currently sells the 5-chip Gridseed ASICs for $119.99 per single unit. They do have the G-Blade sold at the old price, however they do offer pre-order at almost half of the standard price if you are willing to wait up to about 10-13 days. They also have listed the new Gridseed A2 ASICs with a price of $11999 USD.
Hash Master also based in USA currently sells their 5-chip devices at not so attractive prices, but they do offer the G-Blades with 8 day pre-order at a price of $1089.95 USD. The company is apparently moving towards offering ZeusMiner hardware as they already have these listed for pre-order at their website.
Note that we have not listed all of the companies that do sell Gridseed ASICs and we have intentionally left out some that we have previously mentioned as they have either not yet reduced the prices or have stopped selling Gridseed devices completely. Of course we could have missed some as well as there are probably quite a low of companies that we are not aware of…
We've been getting quite a few questions about where to order Gridseed ASICs from, so we have decided to compile a short list of places that offer Gridseed 5-chip BTC/LTC ASIC miners. Note that we cannot confirm the reliability of these distributors and resellers of Gridseed, simply because we have not ordered from all of them, so do treat this list with caution and be careful where you order from. A good idea is to start with a small order to test the seller first and then make a larger order for more units if you are happy or go to another seller. The best option would be to go for a company selling in your Country or Region, even though you might be able to get better prices with Shipping directly from China. The idea is that you could be able to get the miners faster and with less possible problems, especially if ordering from a seller you are not sure you can trust!
Gridseed, the official manufacturer's website where you can order directly for the best price. Note however that they accept minimum order quantities and the quoted official price is about $158 USD per unit. The shipping is done from China, so it will be more expensive to ship to Europe or USA an there will be extra taxes to pay. This is a good option if you want to become reseller of Gridseed, not something a normal user would do due to the very high MOQ.
MinerEU, this is the only company we have personally tested so far and can confirm that we have received our order without problems and on time, exactly as promised. This seems to be the best place to order if you are based in Europe as they Ship from London, UK, however they do also ship overseas with orders dispatched from China to US and Asia. Currently out of stock with a new shipment expected to arrive soon, $235 USD per unit and lower prices for orders of 10, 30 or 50 units.
Miners World, a Netherlands-based online store selling ASIC devices (Europe) that has in stock only 10 miners package with all accessories, the price for the kit is € 2499 EURO. The site is not in English, so you might have trouble ordering from there, unless you are based in NL.
Hashra, claims to be a UK & Hong Kong based company, but is shipping only from China. Currently has on stock 10 miners pack with all accessories for $2425 USD and 20 miners pack with all accessories for $4835. Their website lists positions for only the miners in packs of 10 or 20 without extra accessories, but these are currently out of stock.
JustASIC, apparently a USA-based company shipping only to US. Claims to have one of the best prices for Gridseed ASICs at $165 USD, but you cannot order a single unit, you can only order packs of 20 units for $3300 USD ($165 per miner) with no extra accessories included, currently with available units on stock.
Zoomhash, apparently based in LA, Califronia, USA with local stock available. They do seem to ship worldwide as well, but they are probably a better choice if you are based in US and not somewhere overseas. The price per single unit is $214.99 USD without any accessories (we've seen a photo taken by us posted on their website of our early revision unit). You can also order 10 devices with accessories for $1999 USD, or 20 devices with accessories for $3899 USD and their store also has some other mining accessories such as PCI-E risers.
Hash Master, another company that seems to be based on Los Angeles, CA, USA. Apparently they do also ship internationally, not only in USA, but information about international shipping is posted in product pages. Price per single miner is $238 USD and you get only the miner with a USB cable, no PSU, but they do sell accessories separately as well, and for a single miner with all accessories including a PSU you will have to pay $330 USD. They also offer packs of 10, 20, 50 and 120 miners that include all of the necessary accessories to make them run without the need of a PC.
GAW Miners, a East Longmeadow, MA, USA-based company selling both the mining hardware and ASIC hardware and hosting services as their location. Also what makes them different is their 5 Day Delivery Time Guarantee and the fact that they claim to offer 24 hour support service to customers. No clear information about international shipping, though apparently they do support it. We were actually contacted a few days ago by the company's CEO, who sent us some nice photos of their custom multiple unit miners in action – you can see one of these photos in the top of this post. The price per single miner they sell is $189.95 USD for a single miner with no accessories, a 10 miners pack with accessories is available for $1999.95 USD, and you can go for their custom miner packages consisting of more devices that are ready to provide you with 15 MHS, 25 MHS or 42 MHS of hasrate that include everything you need to setup and run the devices.
Helixminers is a Deerfield Beach, FL, USA-based company though it seems they also have a distribution center in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but the good news is that thy ship worldwide. For the moment the company sells only Gridseed ASICs, though they let us know that they will be reselling the ASIC hardware of many of the other companies that have announced to be working on such devices with shipping dates set of later this year. A single 5-chip miner currently costs $175 USD, ad the company also offers larger packages with 8, 16 and 24 miners including all accessories required to start mining immediately and you can also buy accessories separately if you wish to.
EyeBoot is a Hong Kong, China-based company that sells both Bitcoin and Litecoin ASIC miners. The prices of most SHA-256 ASIC devices are not very attractive, besides the ones of some USB ASICs, but the ones for Scrytp miners are lookign better. They do offer the single chip GC3355 Dualminer devices for $80 USD, the 5-chip ASICs for $140 USD fr a single device along with packs of more devices that provide you wiht a better per unit price. There is not much details about the shipping of products, but we presume they do ship Internationally.
UBERASICS is a Netherlands, Europe-based company that may seem like a good choice for ordering from Europe, though unfortunately they do seem to ship only to some Western Europe contries only and there is no option to pay with crypto coins. A single 5-chip Gridseed miner will cost you 189 EURO or 199 EURO with all the needed accessories, there is also an option to buy a 10 pack kits that will be a bit better in terms of price per unit and accessories separately.
USBMiners is another Netherlands, Europe-based company that sells not only Gridseed products, but also various other mining hardware in the form of SHA-256 ASICs and even GPU miners. They offer the single CG3355 chip DualMiner at a price of 79 EURO and a single 5-chip Gridseed ASIC will cost you 124.95 EURO and yo have options for multiple unit packs that should normally give you a better price per unit, though the prices for 10 and 20 unit packs are actually higher that for the same amount of units with the single unit price. The company does seem to ship Worldwide.
There are probably quite a few more resellers/distributors offering Gridseed ASIC devices that we did not cover here, we don't know about all of them. Do note however that we have not personally tested any of the listed sellers, unless otherwise noted above, so we give no guarantees about these companies whatsoever. So regardless of where you decide to order proceed with caution and do not start with a big order directly, test with a small one to confirm that everything is Ok, before ordering more miners. We do recommend to use a local seller if possible and not order from overseas as this can be more expensive, cause delays and bring other issues as well, even if the price seems more attractive often the end result might not be worth it. Feel free to share your feedback if you have used any of these sellers and if you can recommend another one that is not listed yet.

CHATTANOOGA — "Save Our Planet!" That's what it says on the card in my hotel, and all I have to do is reuse my towel.
But in reality it will take a lot more than that — a thoroughgoing planetary makeover. Among many other things, we have to learn how to make cleaner cars, meaning not only hybrids and electrics but also cleaner manufacturing. Building the vehicle is at least 10 percent of its lifetime environmental impact, so if you can go to zero waste (as General Motors has done at half its plants, and Volkswagen is doing here in Chattanooga), you're having a big impact. They got 65,000 applications for 1,200 production jobs, but, hey, maybe they're still hiring.
The huge, 2-billion-square-foot, $1 billion VW plant will produce an as-yet unnamed sedan to replace the Passat, code-named New Mid-Sized Sedan (NMS). I saw a chassis covered in shrouds, and a sketch. But I also saw a really green manufacturing process. Half of the 6,000-acre site (a former Army TNT plant) will be preserved as open space, with nature trails.
Most of the pollution in a car plant comes from the paint shop, and that's where I got my tour. Rich Schmidt, the plant engineering manager who worked for two Japanese carmakers, says VW's process (which uses 52 robots and can paint 31 cars per hour) is by far the cleanest he's seen.
Cars will be dipped, rather than sprayed, and the process skips the primer coat and the bake oven to save 20 percent on water and chemicals. Among carmakers, this process is new — only the Mini Cooper is also painted this way. "We get more output on a smaller footprint," says Schmidt. Also cutting edge is the way VW changes colors, a process that reduces both paint and solvent use by 123,000 gallons.
But the coolest thing is what happens to waste paint. Only 80 percent of the paint actually makes it on the car, and the other 20 percent is normally diluted with 50,000 gallons of water per day. But in Chattanooga, the paint drops into dry limestone powder. Why? So it can be blended in, then sent to a cement kiln where it becomes, well, cement. Nil to the landfill.
There was a lot more of this kind of stuff — emu feathers clean dust off the cars. The white cypress wood shipping pallets are donated locally to make furniture and art projects.
