We have just finished the work on updating our footprints rendering engine to OpenStreetMap/LeafletJS solutions.
This significant change will allow us to develop further towards OpenSource solutions and bring additional functionality to our web site users.
As of today our maps will load OpenStreetMap by default with possibility to switch to Satellite view which is based on NASA Blue Marble (up to zoom level 7) and Google Maps Hybrid from level 8 and higher.
Now you can also change the footprint transparency with the control in the bottom right corner.
Many thanks to all the contributors and special kudos to our Android guru alssiesko for making it happen!
If you have any questions or problems with the new functionality do not hesitate to contact us.
We will be performing some site works tomorrow (27-Feb-2018) at 02:00-04:00 GMT so some of the services may be unavailable during this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience!

Growing up into adulthood, you likely began to associate hearing loss with aging. You probably had older adults around you struggling to understand words or wearing hearing aids.
But just like 30 or 60 only seemed old to you until it fast approached, as you learn more about hearing loss, you find it has less to do with aging and much more to do with something else.
This is the one thing you should know: Admitting that you have hearing loss doesn't make you old.
Hearing Loss Is an "Any Age Problem"
By the age of 12, audiologists can already detect some hearing loss in 13% of cases. You'll agree, this isn't because 12-year-olds are "old." Teen hearing loss has gone up 33% in the past 30 years.
What's at work here?
2% of 45 – 55-year-olds and 8% of 55 – 64 year-olds already have disabling hearing loss.
It's not an aging problem. What you may think of as age-related hearing loss is 100% preventable. And you have the power to significantly reduce the progression of your hearing loss.
Age-related hearing loss, known medically as sensorineural hearing loss, is most commonly caused by noise.
For generations hearing loss was thought to be inevitable as you age. But today, science knows more about how to protect your hearing and even restore it.
How Noise Causes Hearing Loss
The first step to protecting your hearing is understanding how something as "harmless" as noise causes hearing loss.
Sound is made up of waves. These waves travel into your ear canal. They move down past your eardrum into your inner ear.
Here, tiny hair cells in your inner ear vibrate. Which hair cells vibrate, and how fast or frequently they vibrate, become a neurological code. Your brain can translate this code into words, rushing water, a car horn, a cry or whatever else you may hear.
But when the inner ear is exposed to sounds that are too loud, these hair cells vibrate too quickly. The sound shakes them to death.
Without them, you can't hear.
Why Noise-Induced Hearing Loss is Irreversible
If you cut your hand, the wound heals. But when you damage these tiny hair cells, they cannot heal, and they cannot grow back. The more often you're exposed to loud sounds, the more tiny hair cells you lose.
As you do, hearing loss progresses.
Common Noises that Cause Hearing Damage
Many people are shocked to find out that everyday activities can cause hearing loss. You may not think twice about:
- Going to a concert/play/movies
- Wearing earbuds/head phones
- Turning the car stereo way up
- Mowing the lawn
- Using farm equipment
- Riding a motorcycle/snowmobile
- Driving on a busy highway with the windows or top down
- Working in a factory or other loud profession
- Hunting
- Being a musician
You don't have to give up these activities. Fortunately, you can take proactive steps to reduce noise-induced hearing loss.
How to Keep Hearing Loss From Making You "Feel" Older
If you're already suffering from hearing loss, admitting it doesn't have to make you feel older. In fact, failing to acknowledge it can doom you to faster progression and complications that "will" make you feel a lot older in just a few years like:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Dementia/Alzheimer's
- Increased Fall Risk
- Social Isolation
- More frequent trips to the ER
- Strained relationships
These are all significantly more common in people with untreated hearing loss.
Prevent Further Hearing Damage
Start by learning how to prevent hearing loss.
- Get a sound meter app on your smartphone. Find out how loud things really are.
- Learn about dangerous volumes. Over 85 dB (decibels) can cause permanent hearing loss in 8 hours. 110 takes about 15 minutes to cause permanent hearing loss. 120 dB and above causes instant hearing loss. A gunshot is 140 to 170 dB.
- Know that If you've ever had trouble hearing temporarily after a concert, you already caused permanent damage to your hearing. It will become more pronounced over time.
- Wear earplugs and/or sound-dampening earmuffs when appropriate.
- Follow work hearing protection rules.
- Limit your exposure time to loud sounds.
- Avoid standing close to loudspeakers or turning speaker up at home.
- Get earbuds/headphones that have integrated volume control. They never go over 90 decibels. Most people would have to listen almost non-stop all day to cause permanent damage.
- High blood pressure, low blood oxygen, and some medications can make you more susceptible at lower volumes.
- Wear your hearing aid. Not wearing a hearing aid when you need them causes the brain to atrophy. It's similar to your leg muscles. If you stop walking, it gets much harder to walk.
Get a Hearing Test
Are you procrastinating or are in denial? Stop it. You need to know so that you can be proactive to reduce further damage.
Talk to Your Doctor About Hearing Solutions
There are no "natural cures" for hearing impairment. If hearing loss is severe, it may be time to get a hearing aid.
Do a Cost-Benefit Analysis of Hearing Aids
Many people are either in denial about hearing loss. Or they decide to "tough it out." They think hearing aids make them seem old. Or they think they cost too much.
But when they realize that hearing loss will get worse faster and can cause many health and relationship complications, it's easy to see that the pros well outweigh the cons.
Talk to a hearing care professional today about getting a hearing test. And if hearing aids are recommended, don't worry about "feeling old." Hearing aids today are much sleeker and more sophisticated than you may think!

Back to a couple of weekends ago. I'm with my friends, on the way back from Tauranga, and we passed through Katikati. These shots were the result of a very, very quick stop at the Katikati Heritage Museum, just to look around the outside, not to visit the museum itself (which is a tour which does take time because virtually every inch of the walls inside has something of interest to look at. Trust me. I glanced through an entrance door, and knew my friends were indeed wise to make this just a five-minute snap-and-run.)
If you're not into the museum, or the souvenirs, there's always the Miniputt ...
According to the sign beside it, this is a steam-driven butterfat testing device, "used in dairy factories to determine the amount of butterfat the Farmer produced so as to pay him."
At the moment, the museum is owned and run by Ken and Nancy Merriman, but earlier this year, they announced plans which would have meant the museum's closure.
The debate about the museum's future began earlier this year when the Merrimans, after trying to sell it as a going concern, announced plans to auction the collection, land and buildings to begin "the second stage of their retirement".
Bay of Plenty Times, 28 April 2011
At this point, it seems that a community committee has been formed to look at ways at either buying the land, to maintain the museum, or at least buying part of the collection, keep it in storage, and then work on a means to display it in the future.
Not sure whether this character was part of the Miniputt course or not ...
Nicely done, with the horse hitched to the cart. But -- why the horse-blanket?
Some pukekos who look like they won't take much nonsense.
I remember when almost all schools in the 1960s-1970s had play equipment like this. Today, this sort of stuff is probably frowned on by the Powers That Be as far too dangerous for little boys and girls. There certainly were a lot of scrapes and war wounds from the jungle gyms.
It would be a shame if this character's vigil over the highway had to come to an end.

The Gardnerian Book of Shadows, by Gerald Gardner, at sacred-texts.com
Form circle. Invoke, Purify. Cauldron is placed before altar filled with water, wreathed with summer flowers. The people, men and women alternately, stand round circle. High Priestess stands in north, before Cauldron, holding raised wand, which should be Phallic or tipped with a pinecone (anciently the thyrsus) or a riding pole or a broomstick, invokes the sun.
"Great One of Heaven, Power of the Sun, we invoke thee in thine ancient names, Michael, Balin, Arthur, Lugh, Herne. Come again, as of old, into this thy land. Lift up thy shining spear of light to protect us. Put to flight the powers of darkness, give us fair woodlands and green fields, blossoming orchards and r ipening corn. Bring us to stand upon thy hill of vision, and show us the path to the lovely realms of the gods."
High Priestess draws invoking pentacle on Magus with wand.
Magus comes forward sunwise and takes wand with kiss, plunges wand into Cauldron and holds it upright, saying, "The spear to the Cauldron, the lance to the Grail, spirit to flesh, man to woman, sun to earth." He salutes High Priestess over Cauldron, then rejoins people, still bearing wand.
High Priestess takes aspergillum, stands by Cauldron, says, "Dance ye about the Cauldron of Cerridwen the Goddess, and be ye blessed with the touch of this consecrated water, even as the sun, the lord of light, arriveth in his strength in the sign of the waters of life."
The people dance sunwise about the altar and Cauldron, led by Magus bearing wand. High Priestess sprinkles them lightly as they pass her.
Ritual of cakes and wine.
Any other dances, rites, or games as the Priestess and people wish.

Buzzworthy Find: 'Mythical' Corpse-Eating Flies
Behold the bone-skipper, high in the running for the strangest fly on Earth. For the bone-skipper, fresh carcasses just won't do. No, these flies prefer large, dead bodies in advanced stages of decay. And unlike most flies, they are active in early winter, from November to January, usually after dark.
They also disappeared from human notice and were declared extinct for more than a century. That's why they've often been considered almost mythical or legendary, said Pierfilippo Cerretti, a researcher at the Sapienza University of Rome.
In the past few years, three species of bone-skipper have been rediscovered in Europe, setting off a buzz among fly aficionados. But many bone-skippers were found by amateur scientists and recorded in photographs or video; actual specimens of the flies are few and far between. For the first time, Cerretti and colleagues have established a "type specimen" or "neotype" for one bone-skipper species, to which all of these bone-skippers will be compared in the future, in order to be identified.
The flies' "previous taxonomy was almost completely incorrect —a mess," Cerretti told LiveScience. "If you have no good specimens, you have no good taxonomy."
The newly typed species, Centrophlebomyia anthropophaga, was first described by a scientist in 1830 "based solely on his memory of specimens he had observed in large numbers destroying preparations of human muscles, ligaments and bones in the Paris School of Medicine in August 1821," according to a study detailing Cerretti's findings published online in June in the journal ZooKeys.
Aptly named
The bone-skippers get their name from the prominence of bone in the heavily decayed carcasses they call home. Also, developing flies have a habit of jumping or "skipping" up and down, so these carcasses appear "alive with larvae," Cerretti said. (This makes them similar to the cheese fly, which is "famous in Italy," Cerretti said, adding that the cheese fly's maggots are known to jump out of infested cheeses.

To jump, the bone-skippers connect their mouth hook to their tail and contract their dorsal muscles, letting go and flinging them upward. This dorsal muscle contraction is similar to the way click beetles propel themselves, Cerretti said.
Another species of bone-skipper, Thyreophora cynophila, was discovered in Mannheim, Germany, in 1798. At first, they were called dog flies, as they were found in a dead canine. They had been thought to be extinct for about 160 years before being found again in Spain in 2010. This species was noted for its alleged capacity to emit a luminous shine from its large, bright orange head.
Little known
Usually, bone-skippers prefer even larger dead animals, including humans. Researchers speculate that they may have been more abundant in preindustrial times, when larger mammals were more prevalent throughout Europe, and carcasses weren't disposed of as quickly as they are today.
Very little is known about bone-skippers' life history, other than that the larvae feed on carcasses and spend the summer developing in the soil below, Cerretti said, adding that the fly's keen sense of smell helps it find dead animals as it flies over snow.
In addition to being found in large carcasses, bone-skippers have turned up in a bag of dead, decaying snails; dead rodents; traps baited with dead squid; and a dead bird, according to the study.

Prevent Vision-Related Learning Problems Through Early Detection
Vision plays a vital role in one's ability to learn, but did you know that more than 61% of the United States population needs some sort of vision correction? Combine that percentage with this fact: In a person's first 12 years of life, about 80% of their learning takes place visually. So, what does this mean for young children who have undiagnosed vision problems? Their learning may be impaired due to preventable, and detectable vision-related problems.
The Importance of Vision in Learning
There's no denying that vision plays a key role in a child's ability to learn from a very young age. Specifically, even as babies and toddlers, children need sound vision to acquire eye movement skills and focusing abilities. As they get older, their eyesight helps them acquire teaming skills, binocular vision skills, visual perceptual skills, and even visual-motor integration.
Still, with about one in four children suffering from vision impairment, those who don't receive corrective treatment for poor eyesight, learning problems can result because these vision problems interfere with a child's ability to reach full learning potential (American Academy of Optometry).
Problems That Can Arise
Unfortunately, vision problems can be difficult to diagnose. Often times, signs of a vision problem are first noticed by a classroom teacher, who may observe that the child is struggling in a particular area of study. Furthermore, some schools conduct vision tests, and this is also a common juncture at which vision problems are detected.
According to the American Optometric Association, when a vision impairment goes undetected for long enough. learning disabilities are more likely to form. Some examples of common learning disabilities that can be related to vision impairment include:
- dyslexia
- issues with spoken and written comprehension
- challenges with reasoning
And while it's possible to work around these learning disabilities, they can have a major impact on a child for the rest of his or her life.
Early Detection is Key
The best way to avoid a learning disability caused by vision impairment is to detect vision troubles as early as possible in children. This means scheduling them for regular eye exams at the recommended intervals, being six months, three years, and upon entry into school. From there, annual eye exams are recommended to ensure there aren't any changes in a child's vision. By scheduling eye exams early on and regularly, parents can get their children any corrective lenses that may be needed to ensure full learning potential in school.

Dessert Designer ($12.95) by Dana Meachen Rau features 51 fun creations that's easy enough for kids. It's always funner when you do things together, right? And well, really, if it's easy enough for kids then a noobie like me should be able to handle it as well.
Using store-bought baked goods, simple ingredients and step-by-step instructions, the point is decorating the cake rather than cooking it. These designs are adorable and beautiful.
This book seriously looks so good, I wish I could eat the pictures. There's flowers, gift boxes, slides, roller coasters, popcorn (really, candy), baskets, and so much more! Here's a sample of the Fluffy Bunnies you could make. The creativeness is simply genius.Recommended for kids ages 9-13 but I think it could apply to so many more people. Even if I don't do exactly what they say, there are so many possibilities and ideas that could branch out from these initial instructions. I can even see this being the source of some fun Valentine's Day creations!
Mouthwatering, right? Gosh, I only got to review the book and the spatula but for you, Capstone has created a wonderful giveaway set that includes the book, the spatula and a gorgeous set of 6 rainbow colored mixing bowls!! As usual, we appreciate Capstone for sending us a second copy of the book to donate to the Pediatrics Hematology and Oncology unit!

Pantry Pretty: Dollar Store Pantry Makeover
First things first, I needed more containers. After the onslaught of "Pinterest Pantries" out there, I made it my mission to find affordable containers. Considering the ones I wanted cost $20 A PIECE, and I needed a lot. So if I were to buy the 20 large containers I wanted at $20 each and the 20 small containers I wanted at $10 each, this pantry would have cost me $600. Goodness gracious!
Instead, I headed to the dollar store (Dollorama to be precise) and here is the cost break down:
8 xVintage Looking Square Glass Containers $1.50 each = $12
6 x Large Plastic Bulk Containers $2.00 each: $12
6 x Glass Round Containers $2.00 each: $12
20 x Clear plastic "disposable" containers $2 for 10 = $4
4 x White Plastic Baskets $2 Each: $8
Total Cost: $48
Not bad, hey? Of course, I think the labels really help make it (if I do say so myself!). I ended up printing out a gazillion of them for everything I could think of to label. I even labeled the canisters I keep on my counters because they are just so pretty. I LOVE the white baskets. I've put them in my fridge as well, and in person they are sturdy and clean and modern looking and definitely not "dollar storey".
I'm not going to lie, sometimes I walk over to the kitchen and open up the cabinet and just stare... and smile. That's what organization should feel like, right? Well, let's just say I'm certainly inspired to continue the label love throughout my entire home...
These plastic lunch containers above are not the best quality around... at all. They do crack sometimes... they aren't super seal proof so not sure I would ever use them for wet stuff, but at 20 cents a piece, I can afford to replace them when the kick the bucket. And they've held out for me for a couple of months already. That being said, when I find something better (but same sort of profile) I will likely upgrade.
And to finish it all off, they even look pretty on the counter (especially framed by my new bianco marble backsplash- that I scored for $2/square foot instead of the $30 retail price per square foot- but that is a story for another day!).
UPDATE: Thanks to all stopping by from iHeartOrganizing or Pinterest! Here are some answers to some common questions I've got on here as well as on iHeart Organizing.
Where can you get these labels?
Check out my "Freebies" page for a link to some free label downloads!
If you would like more labels, different labels, or custom labels, come visit my new shop at The Paper Society and check out my facebook page for some unlisted label designs. I'm always open to designing new things so feel free to contact me if you have an idea of what you want but can't seem to find what you're looking for.
How do you print these babies? I now have an FAQ page with a link to instructions on my website so check it out for lots of ideas!
About the containers? Yes, these are all from a dollar store in Canada, but shop around a bit and I'm sure you can find something similar in the US!
Is that a clock on the counter? Yes, yes it is! I got it at an interior design warehouse sale for $10.

Anyway, Benz asked me some really serious questions about blogging. Here they are:
Question: how does it feel when a complete stranger knows so much about you? doesnt it feel creepy and like being stalked at? how do you edit how much to share? kasi when you share you have people who like your blog in mind diba? but it is not always the case there are just people out there who reads even when they dont like you, worst some people who hates make sure they readpa nga. does it ever stop you? any security fear? yours kasi is a personal blog and about you and your family eh.
How does it feel when a complete stranger knows so much about you?
The thing to remember is people only know a little about me, not really a lot. I may seem like I'm sharing a lot but, in truth, what you see in the blog is what I want you to see. There are huge aspects of me that you don't know about, that will surprise you, maybe even turn you off. But, don't worry, you're right when you guessed I'm a nice person--I really am nice!
Anyway, I have no secrets (no sex tape or anything sordid like that!). There are family secrets that are part of me that will knock your socks off but I swore to my mother to never ever write about those in my blog. But I promised her the blog, not a book so...
Doesn't it feel creepy? Like you're being stalked?
Nope. You have to remember that I'm a writer--I really have to pour out my soul. It was my choice to have a personal blog because, if you meet me in real life, I do share a lot about my life. I like spreading the joy that is my life.
But at the same time, I'm also very guarded. There's a lot I don't share to people. I will spill my guts, yes, but I will spill them all to a very select few. I can count my real friends on one hand. Yes, they are that few. There are very very few who really know me. So I don't feel freaked out when strangers know "a lot" because in reality, they don't. Go over my blog and you'll see that it's all bags and shoes, shopping finds, eBay, events, parties, trips, clothes. That's it!
When people tell me stuff they know about me, ya, I (and Vince too!) get a bit weirded out for a few seconds. Then I get very happy because it only means they love reading my blog and, as a writer, I find that very gratifying. It's absolutely one of the best feelings in the world!
How do you edit how much to share?
I've been blogging since 2005. I've learned, from past experience, to not talk about bad stuff. Or the personal stuff of other people. Or my personal negative feelings for real people, like family. And recently, I also was warned not to post bad stuff about products and brands. Really bad things have happened because I was too cavalier with my opinions. So it's all happy happy joy joy on my blog, dammit!
I also refrain from posting photos of private individuals without their permission. I always ask, "Can I post your photo on my blog?" Most say yes. There are those who refuse and I respect that. I also don't post photos of school-age kids, unless they're at my event or my house (wedding, party).
When you write, you have people who like your blog in mind, right?
Not at all. When I write, it's for entertainment purposes. I know people will like it, I know some people won't. I can't please everyone so ultimately, I just write for the sheer pleasure of writing!
Do haters stop you from sharing whatever you want to share?
Nope. What makes me very careful about what I share is my husband, my family and my work. Especially my work because I don't want to get fired!
Any security fear?
Yes. That's why I don't say where I'm going or what I'll be doing at a specific time (i.e. "I'm going to Manila Pen tomorrow for lunch!" or "This is my address" or "I'm off to dinner at Cibo"). I'll usually share stuff after it happened (i.e. "Just came from ChaTime" or "Enjoyed our stay at Shang Mactan.") Even on Twitter, I very rarely give away my location.
As for my family, I have no problems with showing my face or my husband's. I used to. Then we became magazine editors with our faces in the magazine, newspapers and on TV shows. Kinda strange to play coy when we're public figures.
As for Vito, I really didn't want to show his face to the world. But Vince said so many people--complete strangers!--sent gifts and love so the least we could do was proudly show off the bebe. And true enough, the first thing Vince did after I gave birth was guest blog at Topaz Mommy and share photos of our boy. And so many people adore Vito because of our blogs that I just can't keep him all to myself!
However, when Vito starts school, I'll stop showing his face on my blogs. Right now, when we're out, we get greeted a lot with "Hi Vito!" by people we don't know. It's so cool and freaky at the same time. But in a couple of years, Vito might not like complete strangers talking to him. He might not like it that his face is all over the Internet. And I should respect that.
* * * * * * *
Well, that's all my answers to your questions, Benz! Let's have tea! I have lots of questions for you, too!

Appeal to defend the INF Treaty
Jürgen Scheffran: ICAN Ban Nuclear Weapons
In October of 2017 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), "for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons". Jürgen Scheffran, Professor of Geography at the University of Hamburg and former Senior Research Scientist at ACDIS (2004–2009), contributed the following commentary.
INES congratulates ICAN on winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize
INES (International Network of Engineers and Scientists) congratulates ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) on winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize for its successful work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons. This treaty adopted by over 120 countries in the UN was a huge success of ICAN, its partners, one of which is INES, and other members of the peace movement.
And the campaign goes on, we have to continue pressuring our governments to sign the treaty.

From the spiral kick of a football game to the little league playoffs - a sport not only helps build character but also teaches a lot about team spirit. If you have a favorite team or play in a particular squad then it is only natural to want to boast your pride to others.
One of the best ways to display your loyalties is by using helmet decals and stickers. Luckily for sports fans, there are a variety of helmet graphics available in the market for all kinds of sports, such as, basketball, football, lacrosse, baseball, and the alike. These graphics are made of vinyl and are usually UV treated. This means they do not fade even if they are put under direct sunlight. You just have to stick them on your helmet by peel and stick.
Basic Characteristics:
Decorating your sports gear can't get any easier than this. Helmet decals are removable, and leave no gummy residue behind. These decals come in several different shapes, sizes, and colors. Moreover, you also have the option to buy them ready-made or to order customized designs from professional designers. In fact, with state-of-the-art technology, personalization has become extremely easy. All you have to do is take a picture or sketch of your design and get it professionally edited and printed right onto the vinyl. For instance, if you want to get your school's football team's name printed on your helmet, then all you have to do is find a good designing company and give them a rough sketch or a photograph.
Paying for a good helmet decal shows that you are a professional team:
If you own a professional league then think of these helmet decals as an investment. Paying for a well made design helps you in telling the world that your team is professional. In today's world, creating a presence that is unique is very important, and a capable graphic designer can definitely help you achieve this.
When you're looking for long-lasting helmet decals and stickers, get in touch with a professional decal printer! It is important for the provider to have a lot of experience in creating colorful, inventive, informative and durable helmet stickers. The company must also have an excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau. One of such companies is Team Fitz Graphics. Team Fitz is dedicated to developing the most unique helmet stickers for their customers. The client is made to work directly with an experienced graphic designer appointed specifically to deal with his/her individual needs.

Support Lowe's for Dropping Ads from Hezbollah / Iran's "All-American Muslim"
Since yesterday, the biggest news story in the Detroit area is Lowe's decision, last week, to drop its advertising from "All-American Muslim," the Islamic propaganda show shot in Dearbornistan. (I haven't commented earlier because I've been sick.) Predictably, moron celebs, like pan-Muslim, anti-Semitic Russell Simmons and anti-Israel Mia Farrow, are endorsing a threatened Muslim boycott of Lowe's. It's incredible that they describe Lowe's as supporting hate, when, in fact, Lowe's repudiation of "All-American Muslim" is a repudiation of the anti-Semitic, pan-terrorist hate of the participants in the show.
TLC's "All-American Muslim" Whitewashes Hezbollah/HAMAS/Khomeini Iranian Revolution Supporter Suehaila Amen & Her Terrorist-Supporting Family
Lowe's deserves our applause for doing the right thing. But Lowe's should never have advertised on the show in the first place. As I've reported to you, the participants in the show are all Hezbollah-supporting Shi'ite Muslims. Yes, none of them will condemn the Islamic terrorist group that murdered over 300 U.S. Marines and civilians in Beirut at the Marine barracks and at the U.S. Embassy. None of them will condemn the Islamic terrorist group that helped Al-Qaeda bomb the Khobar Towers, murdering more Americans. And none of them will condemn the Islamic terrorist group caught murdering American troops in Iraq. Hezbollah did all of these things and more. One of its commanders, Ali Mussa Daqduq, orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of four U.S. soldiers in Iraq. And Hezbollah built the bombs and IEDs that killed many more. These Anti-American–NOT "All-American"–Muslims support that and won't condemn it. That's UNAmerican. Period.
Moreover, as I've told you, Suehaila Amen, the show's main character and spokesman for the participants in the show, is an officer in an organization that leads Hezbollah and HAMAS rallies. She, herself, has participated in those events, where swastikas were happily displayed and anti-Semitic slogans shouted. And she's an activist in HAMAS front group and unindicted terrorist co-conspirator CAIR Action Network. No retailer or respectable business establishment should be involved with a show that whitewashes monsters like this who proudly support mass murderers of Americans. And, finally, there is the fact, that Suehaila Amen, her mother, and her sisters, proudly support Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Iranian Revolution, in which our American Embassy employees were kidnapped and taken hostage for 444 days, human rights abuses and Islamic totalitarianism became the order of the day, and Iran has funded Hezbollah and HAMAS for decades.
I worry, though, that Lowe's will soon capitulate under HAMAS' CAIR (again, it's a terrorist co-conspirator according to federal documents filed in court) and other Arab Muslim pressure, as US Airways, Nike, Target, Walmart, Northwest Airlines, and a host of other companies have. I predict that within days, Lowe's will announce some sort of joint sensitivity training program, as Northwest did, paying HAMAS' CAIR oodles of money for the privilege. That's why it's so important that you contact Lowe's in support of its decision and cite the facts about the "All-American Muslims'" open support for an Islamic terrorist group that mass murders Americans, something the show whitewashes and won't dare expose.
Today, Islamic terrorist, marriage and immigration fraud perpetrator, and FBI award revokee Imad Hamad sent out this e-mail to the Muslims who dominate his Hezbollah- and HAMAS-supporting ADC organization.
Take Action Now: Don't Let Bigots Pressure TLC
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) calls on its membership to take action and counter recent calls by fringe individuals and groups pressuring advertisers to drop spots on All-American Muslim, a new series airing on The Learning Channel (TLC).
Lowe's yanks ads from 'All American Muslim'; local community outraged
The Detroit News
Local Muslim and Arab-American activist Imad Hamad said he was "stunned" over Lowe's decision and called on "supports of diversity" to voice their concerns …Take Action Now!
ADC is asking you to contact Lowe's and voice your concern!
Contact Lowe's:
Phone: 1-866-900-4650
Email: email@example.com
Mail: Lowe's Companies, Mail Code CON8, 1605 Curtis Bridge Road, Wilkesboro, NC 28697
I urge you to use the contact information and congratulate Lowe's and give the company the facts about these terrorism supporters on the show. We cannot sit by as Muslims seek to rule commerce in America. As reader and friend Rob wrote:
Since when can a group of people demand that a private company advertise on a TV show?
I don't get this whole (supposed) controversy.
Exactly. But whining, loud Muslims never miss an opportunity to create controversy and exert influence. Don't let them get away with it.
Don't forget, the participants in "All-American Muslim" are American by accident of birth, but they are Hezbollah and HAMAS supporters by choice.

When it comes to picking a great gaming chassis, it's not always about looks. Aesthetics can be a major part of your decision making, but there is a lot more to consider, including great air circulation, plenty of cable management holes, the absence of low quality parts, and features that other chassis may not offer. Check out what the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I can offer you.
It is impossible to say which gaming chassis is the best. Everybody has their own preferences and this can definitely change their views on which case is the best. If you're an extreme overclocking enthusiast with water cooling, the Silverstone Temjin TJ11 series, the new NZXT Switch 810 or Phantom 820 cases might be one of your choices due to its massive size and the possibility to install plenty of large radiators and water cooling parts that will cool your complete system. Conversely, some people need a more compact system due to space restrictions in their rooms, or would like a silent system due to either noisy equipment or specialty work like sound recording. The Thermaltake Overseer RX-I is a case that could be considered a combination of all the good features found on other chassis. While it is impossible to get everything correct to please everyone, the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I has plenty of features that makes it a great gaming chassis. It has plenty of cooling options, great cable management, plenty of Hard Drive/SSD or even 5.25″ drive bays, and other nice features like external 3.25″ drive bays, USB 3.0, water cooling options, and even a nice plexi glass on the side panel to show off your hardware.
The Thermaltake Overseer RX-I costs $129.99, which is a reasonable price for a Full Tower chassis with the features the Overseer RX-I comes with. But for a limited time Newegg is offering a $20 rebate, which brings down the price of the chassis to $109.99 which is a bit more justified for what this case offers. Read more to find out why.
- Pulsating lighting effect.
- E-sports gaming style front bezel.
- USB 3.0 SuperSpeed via internal 20-pin connector.
- Top-mounted HDD docking station enables blazing fast file transfer and effortless hot-swap capability.
- Black coating makes stylish inside look.
- Bottom-placed PSU design for better and easier installation.
- Supports most advanced AMD & NVIDIA graphic cards up to 12.5″/32cm

We have taken a look at a few Thermaltake chassis in the past, and they all come in a very sturdy cardboard box that requires quite a bit of banging to actually damage the product inside it. The Overseer RX-I is no exception. It comes in a fairly big blue and black themed chassis that resemble the LED fan colors with a Transformer type robot on it's front with the Overseer RX-I. The back shows off some of the key features of the chassis, like the internal USB 3.0 connector, the fan filters, the tool-less drive installation, etc. The side of the packaging includes more specifications about the product.
Inside the box you will find the usual Styrofoam packaging that keeps the chassis from getting damaged during shipment. The RX-I is also covered in a plastic transparent back to prevent the Styrofoam from scratching the surface of the chassis. The Plexiglass window originally comes covered with a plastic transparent cover as well from both the inside and the outside to prevent scratches as well. It is recommended to remove these parts before starting up your system, but you can keep them on until you finish installing your hardware. So right off the bad, Thermaltake makes sure that your product arrives without any issues and that you would have great first impressions about their products.

Let's check out the actual chassis from all of its angles. This is where most of the design is happening and what most people will see when they look at your chassis. To be quite honest, we've never been a big fan of crazy designs, but the Overseer RX-I keeps the presentation of the chassis professional even though there are a lot of edges and curves on the edges of the front and top of the chassis. One side of the chassis is completely closed with no air circulation or windows. this is fine because this will prevent excess noise coming out of the system during heavy loads, especially if you have the chassis to the left of you. The right side of the Overseer RX-I has a upside down L shaped Plexiglass window that will provide a great view of the hardware installed in the chassis. The circular honey comb mesh cutout below the Plexiglass is one of the locations where Thermaltake allows you to install an additional 200mm x 200mm x 30mm fans to the side panel of your chassis. It's a bummer this fan is not included, because having a fresh flow of cool air from the side of the chassis is important to keep the video cards, the CPU, and the motherboard cool within the chassis. In our opinion, Thermaltake left this fan be an additional option that the end-user can buy just to keep the cost of the chassis as low as possible. However, the chassis does come with a 200mm x 200mm x 30mm fan on the top, which makes it possible to remove this fan and mount it on the side panel to provide more air intake for the hardware inside your system. This would be referred to as the push-pull type setup. Though, do watch out, because the top screws can easily be stripped due to the fact that they are screwed in way too tight to keep the top fan from vibrating. By removing the top fan, this allows you to install All-in-One water cooling solutions, such as the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer, Pro, or Extreme. The Performer and Pro can be installed on the back 120mm fan as well, but this is just yet another option that is possible with this chassis, we'll take a closer look at that on the pictures below.
The rear photos of the Overseer RX-I give us a nice overview of what to expect from this chassis as far as expansion slot count, external water cooling, power supply placement, and rear fan size. We'll take a closer look at these below as well.

Both the right and left side panels come with a beveled and extruded design. This actually comes quite handy considering that an extruded side panel allows for more space for larger Air coolers while keeping that massive 200mm x 200mm x 30mm fan on the side panel. The right side panel's extrusion helps with cable management. Many cases come with cable management holes, but unless you can really route your cables and make sure these cables don't overlap too much, you'll have a hard time closing your side panel. With the extrusion, there is extra space to route your cables, making it easy to snap back your right side panel even if you have a thick clutter of cables behind the motherboard tray. This is one excellent feature that we believe is essential in a well built chassis, and the Overseer RX-I has it.
While not quite visible, the Overseer RX-I comes with circular feet that have rubberized bottom. This will prevent vibrations caused by fans and other hardware within the system.
So as a recap, a quick overview of what we have talked about. #1 shows the front 200mm x 200mm x 30mm blue LED fan which cools down the hard drive compartment and provides more air to the hardware within the chassis. #2 shows the top 200mm x 200mm x 30mm blue LED fan that comes with the Overseer RX-I chassis. There is an additional 200mm fan location right next to the 200mm fan that is pre-installed for additional air intake or exhaust, but this location does not come preoccupied with a 200mm fan. If the fan is removed and perhaps placed to location labeled #4, then the the #2 location can be used for a CPU and/or GPU water cooling setup. It doesn't have to be an all-in-one water cooling loop, it can be a 100% self built water cooling loop also. #3 shows the Plexiglass window, #5 shows an additional 120mm fan location where the user can install a 120mm fan. This location along with where the power supply is installed comes with a fan filter to prevent dust from getting inside the chassis. All the rest of the fan locations also come with fan filters.

Moving on, a closer look at the top front of the Overseer RX-I, we are presented with a external 3.25″ drive bay. This drive bay also comes with a pre cut 2.5″ hole to allow for SSD installation also. This is a great way of keeping a backup of your files on a Hard Drive or SSD, if you do not plan on installing your hard drive or SSD in an external storage backup enclosure. The front also comes with two USB 3.0 connectors, which come with internal USB 3.0 connector, two USB 2.0 connectors, one eSATA connector, one headphone jack, and one microphone jack. The front emblem like design lights up when the system is running with the Overseer RX-I logo. Finally you have a Reset button on the left and a Power button on the right.
The 2nd image shows the 4x 5.25″ drive bays. As we will see later in this review, the bottom 5.25″ drive bay can be used as a 3.5″ drive bay.

Removing the front panel is as simple as just pulling on it. No need to go inside the case and unlatch the sides to take the front off. This is great because installation of hardware and switching out fans becomes easy. The old way of doing it was just too much hassle. Once the front panel is off, we can see that the top 5.25″ drive bay cover has been automatically removed. This is designated for your DVD or Blu-Ray player, but you're not limited to only that slot. The cable sticking out from the drive bay is the cable that connects top accessory ports. Those cables eventually get plugged into your motherboard so the top connectors would become usable.

At the bottom, we can see the 200mm fan that was installed in the factory by default. The front fan runs at 600~800 RPM with a noise output of 12~14 dBA. This should be quite inaudible, however, sometimes the fan filter and the mesh can cause some noise of air movement even if the fan is completely quiet. Since this chassis does not come with a door in the front, there is no sound insulation that would prevent the air noise generated by fans. Taking the top cover of of the Overseer RX-I is just as simple as taking the front panel off. It's just a matter of pulling on it the top panel hard enough, and the frame will eventually give. The nice thing is that these panels should not break even if they are taken off multiple times. Taking the top cover off reveals the top 200mm fan, which runs at the same speeds of 600~800 RPM, but has a 1 dB(A) higher noise output of 13~15 dB(A). This is how you would get access to the fan to remove it or to install other hardware.

Now we can talk about the details of the back of the chassis. There are a total of 8 expansion slots. This can make it difficult to run 4-Way SLI or CrossFireX configurations in this chassis, unless the specific motherboard used supports such expansion slot configuration. 3-Way SLI or CrossFireX should not be a problem at all. There are two large 1/2″ water cooling loop grommets installed in the back allowing the user to install external water cooling loops even with the 1/2″ tubing. The Power Supply mounts on the bottom of the chassis, allowing the power supply to suck cool air in from the bottom of the chassis. Not to worry, as the bottom of the chassis comes with a fan filter that will prevent dust from being sucked in. It is a great possibility that little specs of dust still get through, however, its is 10X better than not having anything. The top of the chassis comes with a 120mm fan. The top fan filter doesn't slide out like on the Cooler Master Storm Stryker or Storm Trooper chassis, which makes cleaning the filter harder, as it is attached to the top plastic cover. Removal of the top plastic cover might be necessary.

Opening up the Overseer RX-I is simple. It's just a matter of unscrewing two thumb-screws at the back of the chassis on the sides and the side panel will slide right off. Once the chassis is open, we can see a bit more of what we talked about above. No fan on the left side panel, and no fans on the bottom. We can also see an optional fan spot on the top right corner. These are optional fan spots and will cost you extra if you'd like to install fans there. There are three massive rubberized cable management holes on the motherboard tray, making it possible to nicely tuck cables behind the motherboard tray. There are additional motherboard tray cable management holes on the bottom and on the top of the chassis. The top cable management hole is mainly designed for the 8-Pin CPU Power Connector from the PSU, and other fan cables or accessory cables. The bottom cable management holes are designed mainly for the bottom front panel connector cables that connect on the bottom of the motherboard. Finally the side cable management holes are designed for the 24-Pin Motherboard power connector, the SATA cables, fan cables, lots of power supply cables, and much more. These cable management holes are designed to tuck your cables out of the way to make sure you have good air circulation within your system. So even if it takes a few more hours to build your system it is essential to get the cable management right correctly the first time. This way you won't have to bother with it in the future, and it will keep your system nice and clean looking even if you switch out hardware. We'll have photos below showing exactly how it should be done. While we are not professional at it, it should be a great example for system builders. The motherboard tray also has a cutout around the CPU area of the motherboard. This allows for easy CPU Cooler installation, especially if the CPU needs a backplate. This became a standard on all the latest computer chassis.
Do keep in mind that if you're planning on installing a radiator on the top, that you make sure that the radiator won't be too thick to get in the way of the motherboard, otherwise you might run into compatibility issues with your hardware.
Here is a closer look at the drive bays available on the Overseer RX-I chassis. The three top slots are designated for 5.25″ drives, including a 4th one below the top three, which can also be used as a 3.5″ drive bay. Finally there are 5 other 3.5″ drive bays which can also be used as 2.5″ drive bays. Unfortunately only the top three 5.25″ drive bays are tool-less design, meaning that the other drive bays will require screws for proper installation.

If we take a look at the bottom filter, we can see how easily it can be removed by just pulling on the little handle bar at the end. It slides right out and can be washed easily or cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. The hard drive cages easily slide out once you get a nice grip at the end and push in the little notches on the handle. A Hard Drive or SSD can easily be installed with the provided screws. The back of the chassis has the open area for the hard drive compartment, because this is where you will be required to connect your hard drive connectors and power leads. We can also see how the main case cables are already routed in the back through the cable management holes. These might have to be rerouted depending on which motherboard you are using.

Here we take a look at the cables that come in the Overseer RX-I for the connectors within the chassis. The first image shows the main front panel connectors, including the USB 2.0 connector and the headphone and microphone jack connectors. The second image shows the main front panel buttons and LEDs, including Power Switch, Reset Switch, HDD LED, and Power LED cables. The final image is showing the eSATA cable, the external SATA 3.5″ drive bay connector and the USB 3.0 connector.

Some of the accessories that come with the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I includes a user's manual, a Speaker for post or error reporting, two 3-pin fan header to Molex connector adapters, a 8-pin CPU extension cable or 4-pin CPU connector adapter, plenty of installation screws and cable management cable ties.
The System with Hardware Installed
Click Images to Enlarge
Here is our Sandy Bridge system running a Intel Core i7-2600K processor, and the ASUS P67 WS Revolution motherboard. We are using the Thermaltake Frio OCK CPU cooler to cool our processor and a 1300W power supply to power up the system. It might be an overkill but it allows us to upgrade the system with multiple video cards in the future without having to replace the power supply. Plus it serves us a good purpose of showing how large power supplies don't have a problem fitting within the Overseer RX-I chassis. The back of the chassis shows the cable management we have done. We used zip ties to tie the cables to the motherboard tray, making it possible to easily close the case. The end result is a nice and clean system where cool air can circulate without any obstruction.
The tool-less 5.25″ drive bays are super easy to work with. once a DVD player is pushed in, it automatically snaps into place without having to readjust the position. It holds very tight, but additional screws can be installed to keep it in safe position. To remove the drive from the drive bay, all you have to do is push on the blue bar, and it will release the clips holding the drive in place.
Here is another photo of the Overseer RX-I that shows multiple high-end graphics cards installed in the chassis without any problems.
Testing methodology
Our testing methodology is rather simple for cases. We let the system idle for 30 minutes and we measure temperatures. Then we turn on OCCT to load the video cards and the processor to 100%. After 20 minutes of 100% load, we measure the overall temperatures. If there are multiple fan settings available, we test the lowest and highest fan settings.
Test Rig

CPU Measured with CoreTemp and averaged all cores. GPU temperature measured with MSI Afterburner and averaged all GPUs. Motherboard temperature measured with Ai Suite II.
Here are the temperatures we got from our testing:
Temperature | ||||
Idle | Load | |||
Motherboard | 32 C | 45 C | ||
The temperatures are quite good especially knowing that our processor was overclocked, and our GPU tends to run quite hot even in well ventilated systems. The fact that there is no side ventilation does add to the heat on the video card, but with the installation of an optional 200mm fan on the side panel would drastically help improve temperatures on the video card, CPU and motherboard.
The Thermaltake Overseer RX-I is a fantastic gamer's chassis. While the design of the case did not blow us away, the Overseer RX-I does offer some nice features that can be appreciated, including: lots of cable management holes for routing your cables, tool-less installation for 5.25″ drives, fan filters, Internal USB 3.0 and extruded side panels for extra space within the chassis for cable management and coolers. However, the case does have it's downsides as well, which included poor quality buttons, no fan included on the side panel or at the bottom of the chassis, and of course the fact that the front panel comes off way too easily, making it dangerous carrying around the chassis when holding it on the sides, because the front panel could easily snap off and you could drop your system.
Overall we're very satisfied with the case, and we'd recommend it to any gamer. This case might not be for the enthusiasts, but it does come at a reasonable price of $129.99, or if you get lucky $109.99, which would make it a great affordable gaming chassis for an average gamer.
Our Verdict: Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Case | ||||||||||||||||||
Summary: The Thermaltake Overseer RX-I is a perfect gamer's chassis that comes with lots of features, tool-less installation for 5.25″ drives, plenty of cooling potential and comes at a reasonable price. Therefore the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I receives Bjorn3D's Silver Bear Award. |

George Lucas appeals to Star Wars fans to keep blasters holstered
He made the request on Twitter ahead of the opening of the latest Star Wars film in cinemas across the UK and Europe.
The president of one of the UK's official Stars Wars clubs, Richard Walker, confirmed they had been asked not to take their weapons out when posing for pictures at events in the community.

Hide AdHe said: "We've been asked by George Lucas not to use or draw weapons, most cinemas have asked everyone to leave them at home .
"We're fine with that, it's probably a good idea given what happened in France."
Mr Walker added that the cinemas are asking people not to bring replica weapons but his group have found a way to get around that.
He added: "We'll be at the Odeon for the premier and we're putting yellow tape round the handles of our weapons.

Mr Walker said most groups he had spoken to agreed to support the ban on withdrawing weapons - although there had been some disquiet from groups in places like America.
He said: "There's a bit of animosity between one or two groups who say it's not right, the kids want to see the weapons and that it makes a better picture but we're doing what Lucasfilm asked us to do."
The new Star Wars film has sold more than half a million tickets for its opening week at UK cinemas, smashing their previous record set by James Bond film, Spectre.

Versatile ride for a wide range of musical styles and applications.
Paiste Sound Technology stands for first-class manufactured cymbals and high quality sound design at an affordable price. PST5 is the entry to Paiste's world of bronze cymbals and since its introduction in 2005, it continues to be a best seller. Considering recent musical trends, the PST5 was newly designed by our Swiss Sound Development Team. Visually the PST5 were consciously altered only in detail but their fundamental sonic value changed considerably. The cymbals are lighter resulting in a deeper, warmer sound while preserving its bright basic character. They have increased flexibility resulting in a more appealing feel. Overall the new PST5 is significantly more musical.
