text: Getting a tank mod seemed to be the natural progression for my vaping. With tanks holding 3ml or more of e-liquid, my vaping comes a bit closer to low maintenance. Dripping atomizers and cartomizers still have their place, but for the majority of the time, I grab one of my favorite tanks and go for non-stop vaping.For the most part, a tank mod will accept either a 40mm or 50mm(XL) total length cartomizer. Some may come with their own "proprietary" type cartomizers, like the SmokTech DCT's flange (BTW, you can still use a cart without the flange on these).For my tank mods, I like to purchase cartomizers in bulk, and punch my own holes.Tank ModThe Tank Mod Five…a tank for any occasion.SmokTech DCT TankTankSmokTech Dual Coil TankThe Dual Coil Tanks (DCT) from SmokTech are probably one of the best values in the market for tanks right now…and one of my favorites.Even though they come with a flanged cartomizer for use, Shan from VAPECORE suggests flipping the end caps and using a non-proprietary cartomizer.And it works like a charm!Name: Dual Coil Tank Size: 3.5ml / 6ml Tube: Clear or Colored Polypropylene End Caps: Black Delrin / Chrome Cartomizer Total Length: 50mm XL Price: $10.00 – $15.00 Website: Vapor AlleyDepth Charge TankDepth Charge TankThe Stainless Steel Depth Charge is a little pricey for a tank, but it is well worth it. It looks great, and with the angled end caps, works on some of my mods where a flat bottom wouldn't fit.These can be a little messy while filling though. I always seem to get a little seepage while re-installing the top cap.Name: Depth Charge Size: 2ml / 4ml Tube: Clear Polypropylene or Stainless Steel End Caps: Stainless Steel Cartomizer Total Length: 40mm / 50mm XL Price: $50.00 + $10.00 for Stainless Steel Tube Website: Vapor AgeM1A1 Buzz TankM1A1 Buzz TankWhen I purchased my Buzz Pro, I had to have the matching tank as well. Price wise, it's in the middle, without sacrificing quality. They come in a multitude of colors that match the Buzz Pro's, as well.The tube has a plug that screws against the cartomizer, minimizing slippage, and is removable for easy filling.There is also a tube option without the plug.Name: M1A1 Buzz Tank Size: 3ml / 5ml Tube: Clear "UNCRACKABLE tube material" End Caps: Aluminum Anodized in various Colors Cartomizer Total Length: 40mm / 50mm XL Price: $24.95 Website: NotcigsLil Mama TankLil Mama TankThe "Lil Mama" Tank Mod is the smaller version of the "Big Daddy" Tank from Big Daddy Vapor. Another middle of the road at price point, but extremely well made.The Lil Mama tank is made to provide a very tight fit with carts. Because of the extremely tight fit, it can prove a little difficult when inserting a cart.Name: Lil Mama Tank Size: 3ml Tube: Clear Polycarbonate, Pyrex Glass, or Stainless Steel End Caps: Black Delrin / Stainless Steel Cartomizer Total Length: 40mm Price: Delrin – $18.99 / Stainless Steel – $30.99 + $14.99 for Stainless Steel Tube Website: Big Daddy VaporLava TankLava TankThe Lava Tank is an extremely popular, and hard to get tank mod from JonboyUSMC on the E Cigarette Forum (ECF).Making Lava Tank's in batches, they are snapped up in mere minutes. Because there is no website, (selling is through ECF), it takes patience awaiting a new batch, and persistence in making a request once a batch of Lava Tank's go live.Name: Lava Tank Size: 3ml Tube: Clear or Frosted Lexan End Caps: Various materials and colors with one piece Pawn or Ming tip Cartomizer Total Length: 40mm Price: Around $45.00 Website: JonboyUSMC's Lava Tank If you're looking for a tank mod for your pv, definitely give one of the above a look, they're all awesome in their own ways.5 Responses Mike February 6, 2012 Hi.. I just know.. What kind of cartos you use to the M1A1? Just recently buy one and with my regular XL cartos I only get that the M1A1 start licking.. I know that the cartos should at 50mm in length.. but should be at 9mm or 10mm in diameter? TUC February 6, 2012 Mine are measuring 9.1mm in diameter. KarS June 20, 2012 Hey,Just wanted to know which drip tips are attached to the Depth Charge and Lil Mama tanks, and where you got them.Thanks, Kartik TUC June 20, 2012 The drip tip on the Depth Charge is a stainless steel available from Super T Manufacturing.

After months of rumors, we finally know exactly what we thought we knew.
Catherine Tate is heading back to Sabre-Dunder Mifflin.
Speaking as someone who occasionally finds herself awake at ridiculous hours of the night and very much enjoys having something she can turn on, pay no attention to, and hopefully fall asleep by, I find myself concerned that Nick at Nite is allowing its selection of overnight sitcoms to deteriorate. I understood when they added Full House, because at least it's sort of a camp classic, even if it's not up there with classic Nick selections like Cheers and Roseanne.
But, dude...George Lopez? Really? You want me to watch George Lopez when I'm lying awake at two in the morning? I realize that the slavish devotion to The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, which NatN ran so many times that I think I saw every single one three times (Ben Vereen, you bastard!) was perhaps a sign of trouble, but there are plenty of Cosby episodes. We still love Furniture City! Somehow, I feel like George Lopez represents some sort of crossing of the Rubicon, where after this, it's going to be Yes, Dear and Still Standing. On Nick At Nite. Where I'd sooner see The Facts Of Life or Who's The Boss? return to regular rotation, rather than begin the long, painful plunge into the ABC vault.

The TARDIS Lands at Heathrow (Again)!
No, it's not a sequel to The Faceless Ones, nor is it Time Flight 2 (imagine that!) – instead, it's a new bit of Doctor Who-flavoured fun from BBC Worldwide…
BBC Worldwide has teamed up with Heathrow to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary, and from today, passengers travelling through Heathrow will be treated to a variety of exciting themed experiences including: appearances from the famous Cybermen, TARDIS photobooths, genuine props and memorabilia, and augmented reality experiences.
To mark the launch of the partnership, on July 16th travellers through Terminal 5 will be able to enjoy special performances by the London Philharmonic Orchestra of music from the iconic BBC Wales produced series. In addition, novelist Jenny Colgan, author of the recently released Doctor Who: Dark Horizons will also be signing books for fans on the day.
The Heathrow activity comes as BBC Worldwide celebrates Doctor Who internationally ahead of the show's 50th Anniversary in November. This weekend the cast of the show, including Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman, as well as showrunner Steven Moffat will be attending Comic Con, a huge entertainment convention in San Diego attended by over 130,000 people across four days.
Amanda Hill is the Chief Brands Officer for BBC Worldwide
In its 50th Anniversary year we want to include fans around the World in our Doctor Who celebrations and this partnership with Heathrow is a fantastic way of capturing the attention of people from across the globe.
Susan Goldsmith, meanwhile, is the Operations Director at Heathrow Terminal 5:
I am delighted that Heathrow has been chosen to host this much loved British iconic series. With visitors from over 180 destinations worldwide, as the UK's only hub airport, Heathrow offers a fantastic opportunity to bring the Doctor Who experience to an international audience this summer.
Showrunner Steven Moffat was also on hand for comments.
We are delighted to announce another extension to Heathrow's world-beating facilities – all of space and time in a stylish blue box, complete with phone. Heathrow with time travel – nobody need ever be late again.
Are you travelling through Heathrow soon? If you're near Terminal 5, look out for Cybermen!
4 Responses to The TARDIS Lands at Heathrow (Again)!
Cool! Shame I wont be near Heathrow any time soon, but it does seem a rather random location to stage a who event. But I must say its a nice gesture from the beeb. Keep a watch out for the flat bed truck taking the TARDIS away…
It would be great if Michael Craze, Anneke Wills and Janet Fielding would come there.
Bloody hell, the Fifth Doctor's a terrible driver. Hey, celery-man, you're still about 30 years out! Tegan will never get home at this rate!
Just landed in Terminal 5, walked all the way from Arrival to heathrow express, didn't see a thing of Dr who, bit disappointed

Welcome to our website.
We are very proud of the work we do at Brompton Hall.
We try very hard to enable boys who have had great difficulty in their previous schools become successful learners - and to enjoy the process. All the boys that attend the school are individuals with their own issues. However, we want all boys to be able to socialise and enjoy each other's company, to progress as individuals, educationally and personally, and to maximise their prospects in later life.
I hope that the pages of this site give you a good insight into the fantastic work of the school, the achievements and positive experiences of the boys who attend, and the endeavour and commitment of the staff who work here.

Lynx unveils deodorant launch for women
Unilever is launching its first Lynx product for women in the UK as part of a global expansion of the previously men's-only brand.
The launch of 'Lynx Attract - For Him and For Her' is being supported by a £7.2m marketing campaign using the strapline: "Nothing will ever be the same again" across TV, digital, cinema, outdoor and PR.
A teaser video, created by BBH, featuring a female cop and a male robber running towards each other instead of in chase, that claims to show the impact of giving the Lynx Effect to both sexes, launches online today (23 January).
Lynx is also selling 100 cans exclusively through its Facebook page.
The TV ad launches on 1 February showing the apparent chaos brought on by men and women both wearing Lynx fragrance being so "intensely attracted to each other".
Kieran Danaher, Lynx brand manager, says: "This is a historic moment for Lynx as a brand. As a brand we're aiming to push boundaries with creative marketing campaigns this year, and the launch of Lynx Attract is set to do just that and more."
The previously men's-only brand launched Anarchy - a female version in the US earlier this month, under the brand's international name Axe.
Readers' comments (7)
I love the fact lynx is now branding for women I was always using my boyfriend's as it lasts a lot longer. Brought the product and love it.
Surely a limited edition Lynx range for women should of been called Mynx.
Has nobody noticed the pink bottle design? They've left that big black lid on the top which completely ruins the packaging. Not feminine in colour or shape at all.
Absolute let down. Appalling
I love this deodarant but it seem to have come of the shelves for some reason. I also agree should have been a pink top as well.
cannot find anywhere to purchase ladies lynx please nearest stockist kirkaldy fife
Sadly the new lynx deodorant for women has left myself & my daughter with a servere rash , was excited about the product but sadly rash lasted for a week obviously an allergy :-(

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Seems like everyone has a comment but not too many names "Oh there was this one guy who ninja'd..."
I wouldn't expect anyone to really be "realm-famous" unless I see a bunch of people separately mention the same name. Just b/c someone is famous in your little world doesn't mean they're famous on the realm.
Plus I doubt "everyone" on a realm knows so-and-so, as it's been mentioned earlier.
impurezero said...
Name names, you say?
On Bronzebeard there's a kid that went by the name of Msorangey and apparently recently changed it to Byte. I've never grouped with this person, so the only reason I know this is because they are in trade LFM for various raids on any given day. You can see him spamming for people for hours because it takes that long for him to fill a raid. This probably has something to do with all the people calling him out on being a ninja and an all-around terrible player.
Now, obviously you can't say "everyone" knows him, but lets not get into semantics. When some one like me knows this much about someone I've never had direct contact with (in other words, this isn't my own little world talking), it's hard to deny that some people really can be "realm famous."

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
As parents of children with serious food allergies know, any delay in treatment of a severe reaction may cost their child his or her life. Carrying an EpiPen containing epinephrine, an emergency treatment to reverse the symptoms of an allergic reaction, is a smart choice. Yet what if no one around the child can see that they are experiencing a reaction? Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, can be hard to spot. According to the Food Allergy Initiative (FAI), the symptoms can be wide-ranging. Signs of a dangerous allergic reaction include:
Swelling of the tongue, lips, or throat
Difficulty swallowing
Wheezing or shortness of breath
A blue hue, particularly to the extremities, lips, or face
Dropping blood pressure, leaving to feeling faint or weak, confusion, and fainting
Chest pain
A weak pulse
What if the signs of anaphylaxis are noticed, but those around the child are not trained in its treatment? Though millions of people are trained to perform CPR, the numbers are much lower when it comes to treatment of anaphylaxis. According to Huffington Post, this problem is just beginning to be recognized by hospitals, doctors, and educational institutions.
Unfortunately, the problem is only coming to light as the rate of public deaths from anaphylaxis rise. All too often, these reactions end tragically because no one nearby is trained to respond to allergic reactions. Last week in South Carolina, a 4-year-old girl began coughing and said her stomach hurt, just after eating a brownie at a ballpark. Luckily, a county deputy was nearby, and he spotted the early signs of anaphylaxis and called an ambulance. Because it was the girl's first allergic reaction, even her parents weren't familiar with the signs. News stories like these point to the need for nationwide education about food allergies and the symptoms of serious allergic reactions.

Businesses Agree With Starbucks CEO That ObamaCare Is Have A Negative Impact On Small Businesses
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz Says ObamaCare Has "Significant Unintended Consequences" For Small Businesses. "In terms of the health care law, that's going to go into effect, there are significant unintended consequences that was not thought out as much as it should have, that will significantly affect the cost structure of small businesses. This is an example, where I think you've got to be very careful with this kind of transformation legislation that ultimately, perhaps, has a negative effect on the economy." (CNBC's "Closing Bell," 3/20/13)
Companies Have Delayed Workers And Held Off On Hiring
The Federal Reserve: Employers Cited ObamaCare As Reasons For "Planned Layoffs And Reluctance To Hire More Staff." "Employers in several Districts cited the unknown effects of the Affordable Care Act as reasons for planned layoffs and reluctance to hire more staff." ("Current Economic Conditions," Federal Reserve, 3/6/13)
- The Federal Reserve: Businesses Have "Delayed Hiring" Due To ObamaCare. "Firms continued to report changes in health care policy and fiscal uncertainty as reasons for delayed hiring." ("Current Economic Conditions," Federal Reserve, 3/6/13)
- The Federal Reserve: ObamaCare Has Caused Companies To Hire "The Absolute Minimum" Of Employees To Skirt The Law's Burdensome Regulations. "Some contacts noted concern that client companies are hiring the absolute minimum to get by due to uncertainty about the Affordable Care Act." ("Current Economic Conditions," Federal Reserve, 3/6/13)
Former Obama Economic Adviser Jared Bernstein, When Asked If ObamaCare Was Restraining Job Creation, Responded That It Was Making Him "Nervous" And That It Was Something To Watch For. CNBC'S STEVE LEISMAN: "How many times have we heard of the 'Beige Book?' Specific comments from Federal Reserve districts, one where Lacker is the president and one where Evans is the president so there isn't going to be any bias there. Specifically saying the Affordable Care Act is restraining hiring. Jared, I wonder how you will respond to that?" FORMER OBAMA ECONOMIC ADVISER JARED BERNSTEIN: "I'm a little nervous about that, Austan made that point and I think there is something to it. I think it's something worth watching." (CNBC's "Squawk Box," 3/8/13)
Higher Health Care Costs Are Having A Negative Effect On Business' Cost Structure
Coal Operators Shared With The Federal Reserve That "Rising Health Insurance Premiums" Are A Concern. "We heard several reports of layoffs by coal operators. Many of our contacts pointed to rising health insurance premiums as a concern." ("Current Economic Conditions," Federal Reserve, 3/6/13)
- Cleveland's Manufacturing Sector Cited "Rising Health Insurance Premiums" As "A Challenge." "Wage pressures are contained, although rising health insurance premiums remain a challenge." ("Current Economic Conditions," Federal Reserve, 3/6/13)
- As The Cost Of Health Care Continues To Increase, Employers Plan On Shifting The Higher Costs On To Employees. "Costs for healthcare and other benefits continued to increase; some contacts noted that they were passing along the higher costs to employees." ("Current Economic Conditions," Federal Reserve, 3/6/13)

Jennifer Lawrence looks set to join The Silver Linings Playbook after she has finished work on The Hunger Games.
David O'Russell is most likely to add Lawrence to his cast that already reportedly boasts Mark Wahlberg, Robert De Niro and Angelina Jolie.
The director is said to have screen tested many young actresses including Elizabeth Banks, Kirsten Dunst, Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, Andrea Riseborough, and Olivia Wilde, but Lawrence emerged as a clear favourite.
Filming on the novel adaptation is said to start in autumn, when Lawrence finishes on The Hunger Games.
The Silver Linings Playbook is slated for release in 2013.

Telefilms and BAG Films will have some breezy scenes between the two with RK's recovery. And to highlight their growing closeness, the makers have recorded a new romantic song that will be used specially for RK and Madhu.
The track is 'Hum Hai Deewane' and is sung by Orijit Singh (who is the singer of Rabta in Agent Vinod) and famous Pakistani singer Komal Rizvi. The track will be played for the first time in tonight's episode (17 October 2012) when RK gets well after Madhu prays for him at Siddhivinayak Temple. RK soon realizes that he has allowed Madhu to comfort him by holding his hand in his drowsy state, and understands that he has started opening up to Madhu. Also, Madhu realizes that she feels for RK.
When contacted, poducer Saurabh Tewary confirmed the news and said, "Yes, we have recorded a song for RK and Madhu which will be played during RK and Madhu's sequences. The song has been composed by Shaleen Sharma who has composed title tracks for shows like Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha, and many shows on Star One including Miley Jab Hum Tum, Love Ne Mila Di Jodi. The basic idea behind recording a new romantic number was that we did not want to use film songs to depict the closeness between RK and Madhu."
Folks, tune in to tonight's episode to catch this romantic number

Mohamed Mohamud has been found guilty of plotting to explode a bomb during a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland in 2010. The device was a fake that was given to Mohamud by FBI agents.
PORTLAND, Ore. — A jury has found an Oregon man guilty of federal terrorism charges.
Mohamed Mohamud was accused of leading a plot to detonate a bomb at Portland's 2010 Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. The device he thought was a bomb was a fake, supplied by undercover FBI agents posing as members of al-Qaida.
Jurors rejected the 21-year-old Mohamud's claim that he was entrapped or induced by a yearlong FBI sting that began to target him when he was a teenager.
Prosecutors argued that Mohamud was predisposed to terrorism as early as 15 years old.
Mohamud traded emails with an al-Qaida lieutenant later killed in a drone strike. He also told undercover agents he would pose as a college student while preparing for violent jihad.
Mohamud was never called to testify. Instead, the jurors saw thousands of exhibits and heard hours of testimony from friends, parents, undercover FBI agents and experts in counterterrorism, teenage brain development and the psychology of the Muslim world.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight told the jury earlier this week that the decision would be easy. Mohamud pressed a keypad button on a black Nokia cellphone and intended to kill people. Whatever else they might think about the methods of undercover agents or the government's decision to investigate a teenager, the underlying decision was Mohamud's and the motivation was hatred of the West.
Defense attorney Steve Sady had argued that Mohamud wasn't radicalized by online recruiters or friends with jihadist leanings, but rather by a Justice Department hungry for convictions that ignored every caution sign along the way. Undercover agents manipulated Mohamud's faith and plied him with praise and the promise of a life leading other jihadis, Sady said.

There are dozens of things that a homeowner doesn't have control over when it comes to the value of their home. The school district, the neighborhood and neighbors cannot be changed. There are many areas of a home that the homeowner has control over. These things can be improved whether you are considering selling your home or just want to increase the overall appeal of the home itself. Small, easy fixes can make a huge difference in the look and feel of the home.
Curb Appeal
Rotting fences, an overgrown lawn and a garden full of weeds can easily be fixed with some outdoor work. The outside of the home tells visitors and neighbors whether you care about your property and have some pride of ownership.
Window Treatments
Window treatments can be seen from both the interior and the exterior. People are looking at your home whether you want to believe that or not. Consider the state of your window treatments even if your neighbors won't come inside to see the curtains. They'll still see them from the outside. They are an easy way to add visual flair to a drab room. Curtains can be changed more often than the furniture and can improve the aura of the home.
Those half-finished projects that litter the home should be completed. The huge obvious ones like the hole in the wall where you were going to add built in cabinets should definitely be fixed. Half-painted rooms, cabinet doors unfinished and floors only covered with a dozen tiles should be completed soon.
The same goes for repairs. Your home will be more appealing to you and to your guests if leaky faucets are repaired, air conditioning is working correctly, and toilets are not running continuously. While it can be a pain to keep up with repairs, if they are left to fester, it can be disastrous.
It seems like no home ever has enough storage. Adding improved storage options can update the look and feel of a home. Cluttered homes can feel drab and disappointing. When items are stored correctly, the home feels airy and clean. This can improve the state of the homeowner's mood too.
Home improvements make the homeowners happier with the state of their home. If they plan on living there for a few more years, the improvements can make life easier and more pleasant. If they plan on selling, the improvements could bring in more money during a sale.by

Bennett, Liu win twice, but men's swimming and diving falls to Keene State
KEENE, N.H. -- Despite a pair of wins each from sophomore Aaron Bennett (Setauket, N.Y.) and junior James Liu (Longmeadow, Mass.), the Brandeis men's swimming and diving team could not overcome Keene State. The Judges dropped a 172-122 decision to the Owls.
Bennett captured both butterfly events. He won the 100-yard fly in 53.12 seconds - improving to eighth on Brandeis's all-time top 10 list - and the 200 in 2:01.71. Liu was victorious in the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.18) and the 200 individual medley (2:06.57). Liu also teamed with junior Jesse Hershman (Hamden, Conn.), senior Robert Morse (Hope, R.I.) and senior Mike Rubin (Bangor, Maine) to win the 400-yard free relay in 3:22.47.

Gamecast: April 22nd Reds at Chicago Cubs
Johnny Cueto (0-1, 4.22 ERA) vs. Ted Lilly (2-0, 3.86 ERA)
The Cubs try and take game two tonight against the Cincinnati Reds. It is the second night game at Wrigley. The weather has played a big role in the past few games, a cancellation on Sunday, and freezing temps last night, which killed a couple HR's off the bat of Derrek Lee and Geovany Soto.
The Cubs remain in first by percentage points after New York's Oliver Perez decided to self-destruct in the fifth inning against the Cardinals.
Milton Bradley will most likely return to the lineup tonight. He has as many hits as ejections. I'm sure we would love to see him get hot and put this first two weeks behind us.
Who's Hot
Micah Hoffpauir - Say what you want about the 29-year-old rookie, but he came up big last night. After Jay Bruce put the Reds on top, Micah took Micah deep for his first home run of the season. He's only hitting .375 with five RBI (two of which came last night) in 16 at bats. I know there is no way for him to keep it, but if he can hit .290, while getting four to eight at bats a week, I would take it.
Aramis Ramirez - He had one of the best at bats during the fifth inning. He fouled off pitch after pitch, before punching a ball to right to give the Cubs a 4-2 lead. He looks poised for a great year.
Ted Lilly - Roosevelt is 2-0 already this season, after nearly no-hitting the Rockies last week. After last year's lousy start, it has been nice to see him win early.
Who's Not
Mike Fontenot - "Little Babe Ruth" has been nothing like "The Babe" as he went 0-for-3 last night to drop his average down to .205. He drew a walk, but it would be nice to see him hit a little bit like the other Cajun.
Neal Cotts - Poor Cotts. He gets a gift to strike out a guy in the 8th, before remembering he was Neal Cotts. He proceeded to give up a hit, then walk a guy before Lou had seen enough and brought Carlos Marmol into the game. Cotts' ERA dropped, but he went further in the doghouse.
Clogging the bases vs. Slugging: The battle continues wage on as the Cubs clogged the bases seven times last night (nine if you include the two hit batters). The Cubs clogged their way to seven runs, while the Reds slugged their way to two. I wonder how this game will turn out? The Cubs are facing Johnny Cueto tonight, who has walked seven in 10 2/3 innings, but he has struck out 12. The Cubs should be able to do enough damage to take Game 2 to set up the sweep tomorrow against Aaron Harang.

We recommend working through the following five steps when implementing a green desktop computing initiative.
- Estimate your energy consumption.
- Research what others have done to improve efficiency.
- Implement tools to reduce energy consumption.
- Communicate to help people do their bit.
- Share your experiences with others.
This process is informed by several years of experience working with Colleges, departments and museums at the University. It is designed to encourage you to implement a robust approach to power management and in so doing help others achieve similar results.
Whilst we recommend working through the full programme, if you have already decided to execute a project to reduce desktop power consumption then the following quick start can be used as an implementation check-list.
Implement Power Monitoring
In order to demonstrate the power and CO2 savings made, you need to implement power monitoring from the outset.
Turn Off Desktop PCs
Substantial power savings can only be made by powering down desktop PCs when they are not needed. Ideally this is done simply through cultural change - desktop users turn off their PCs at the end of the day to support an organisational goal of reducing unnecessary power consumption.
However, various factors can make it hard to achieve the desired level of compliance. To help this, a number of technical tools are available to help. In particular the PowerDown tools, developed at Liverpool, offer a low-cost and effective automatic power-down scheme for Windows networks. There are also a number of commercial tools (see an Oxford assessment of the NightWatchman, PowerMAN and Surveyor products).
Overcome Challenges with Wake-on-LAN
Two of the most common objections to powering down of idle PCs are that it takes a long time for the PC to start the following morning (wasting time), and that PCs need to be turned on to allow remote access (e.g. to work from home).
The Wake-on-LAN service overcomes these challenges to change by enabling desktops to be automatically powered up on a schedule, or on-demand.
1. Estimate
Here we consider energy consumption with respect to two policies for managing desktop computers:
We calculate financial costs and greenhouse gas emissions over a year and make the following assumptions:
- A typical desktop computer (80 Watts) and LCD monitor (25 Watts) together run at 0.105 kilowatts (or 105 Watts)
- Electricity is charged at £0.12 kWh (12 pence per kilowatt-hour)
- One kWh of UK Grid electricity causes the emission of 0.537 kg CO2eq. (a measure of greenhouse gas emissions)
- To calculate the number of hours a computer will be switched on over a year with Policy B we assume people use their computer for 8 hours a day, and 226 days over the year i.e. computers are powered down overnight, weekends and 25 days of holidays.
- Desktop computers normally consume between 1-5 Watts when switched off, in standby (ACPI S3) or hibernate modes. To keep calculations simple we ignore this energy consumption.
- There is no automatic power management e.g. monitors do not go to sleep during the day.
To calculate the total electrical energy consumed over a year with policy 1 we simply multiply the power the computer and monitor run at by the total time they are used over a year. So for our typical computer the sum would be: 0.105 kW x 24 hours x 365 days = 920 kWh. To estimate the financial costs we simply do 920kWh x 12p/kWh = £110. To estimate greenhouse gas emissions 920kWh x 0.537 kg CO2/kWh = 494 kg CO2.
The tables below use this calculation to show costs and greenhouse gas emissions for different stocks of computers. Table 2 also shows savings that might be achievable with a shift from policy 1 to 2:
|Greenhouse gas
(kg CO2)
The figure of 1 470 000 computers is included as this is the estimate for the total number of desktop computers in UK Further and Higher Education, according to the SustainIT Report, P. James et al, 2009
These calculations are meant to illustrate the differences between the two policies. The actual savings that an organisation can achieve will be dependent on local conditions:
- The power that desktop computers run at
- The cost of a unit (kWh) of electricity
- The amount of time computers are actually used over a year
- Whether power management is currently implemented e.g. policies may already be in place to switch computers into sleep/standby (ACPI-S3), hibernate and off.
It is therefore important to use local measurements to estimate how much electricity consumption can be reduced. (The easiest way to estimate the power your computers when switched on is to use a plug-in power meter).
2. Research
Here we provide a variety of references to resources that range from the inspiring TED talks to highly detailed and specific papers on green computing. Our emphasis in selecting these resource is two-fold: developing low-carbon technology is a huge area of endeavour and there are many exciting projects emerging (2) IT professionals have a very important role in developing solutions, and green desktop computing (office and personal computing) can be achieved today.
Many groups have already achieved significant results but the lesson is clear: the problem is not as simple as it might first appear. Green desktop computing has often been cited as low-hanging fruit in terms of energy reduction. We suspect this assertion came about before people actually tried to tackle the problem in a realistic and complex IT environment. The main problem being that in the end in most situations power management is the responsibility of large numbers of individuals who have not typically had to change the way they work to consider energy consumption.
- The environmental debate has traditionally been characterised as a conflict between economic progress and preservation of the planet. Most TED speakers, insist that we can have both provided we're smart.
- Embodied energy is very difficult to calculate accurately due to the complexities of supply chains, and it is not the only consideration when trying to quantify the social and environmental effects of the full life-cycle of the stuff we consume. (We can also consider the impact of mining on local communities and the landscape, and the utility we gain from the particular tool). However the Embodied Energy Database, maintained by the team at http://www.wattzon.com/about provides a good start to quantifying the total environmental effects of things we use.
- HEFCE Carbon Management Strategy, published January 2010. The key message being: " From 2011, HEFCE capital allocations will be linked to carbon reduction. Higher education institutions (HEIs) in England are required to develop individual carbon reduction strategies, targets and associated carbon management plans."
- Green Desktop Computing at the University of Oxford, by Howard Noble, Kang Tang and Daniel Curtis, 2009. A summary of the findings from the Low-Carbon ICT project.
- Low carbon computing: a view to 2050 and beyond, by Paul Anderson, Gaynor Backhouse, Daniel Curtis, Simon Redding, David Wallom, November 2009. A comprehensive and detailed account of the considerations IT professionals will need to make when designing 'green' IT infrastructures for the future.
- Sustainable Energy - without the hot air, David JC MacKay. Chapters 11, 15 and 22 are the most relevant with respect to low-carbon computing.
- Sustainable ICT in Further and Higher Education, P. James and Lisa Hopkinson. Provides a comprehensive summary of all the issues pertinent to building and maintaining low-carbon computing infrastructures
- The PowerDown project at Liverpool University is an excellent practical guide to achieving significant energy savings with minimal effort. The approach described is being used at many Universities including the Centre for the Environment at Oxford.
- Energy Star provide a good guide to the issues and provide information about solutions on the Activating power management features in enterprises web page. The Energy Star website also provides guidance for people looking to buy more efficient computing equipment.
- "Energy Intensity of Computer Manufacturing: Hybrid Assessment Combining Process and Economic Input-Output Methods", Eric Williams, Environ. Sci. Technol. 2004, 38, 6166-6174. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the methodologies used to calculate the 'embodied energy' associated with computing equipment.
- Oxford central machine room report written by Ramonet LTD, and commissioned by the University looking at ensuring the planned 'machine room' (data centre) is built to high sustainability standards, with respect to cost and in-use greenhouse gas emissions.
- Insomniac PCs An article about power management published for British Computer Society.
3. Implement
3.1. Monitor power management and switch computer on remotely
We recommend all groups first set up what we call FiDo software to plug into the University power management monitoring and wake on LAN facilities. Once installed you will have secure access to a graph of how many computers are switched on during the day and night, and the ability to switch computers on remotely:
3.2. Safely and reliably power down computers automatically
The next step is to look at tools that safely and reliably put computers to sleep (S3), hibernate (S4) or off (S5) automatically. There are many ways to achieve this:
- The PowerDown tools, developed at Liverpool University can be used to shut computers down automatically if they are idle, and nobody is logged in. A modified version of these scripts has been implemented at OUCE.
- Use commercial software. Summaries of the NightWatchman, PowerMAN and Surveyor products were provided at the Keeping IT Clean conference at Oxford, and we have been sent through a case study relating to the use of Powerwise at a large UK University.
- Energy star also provide a list of power management software.
If you have experience of any of these tools, or would like help in negotiating licenses with commercial vendors please send an email to OUCS at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
3.3. Monitor electricity meter readings
The Environmental Change Institute has developed two tools to help analyse energy use. The first tool polls and compiles data from a specific networked meter, then uses the Simile software to produce a graph embedded in a web page, as below:
If you are interested in using a graph like the one above please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The ECI has also developed SMEasure a web-based building energy analysis and carbon monitoring tool helping businesses save money and reduce carbon emissions.
To learn more about the SMEeasure tool please get in touch with the SMEasure team directly.
4. Communicate
- A manager with responsibility for budgets works closely with IT support staff and announces the initiative.
- The announcement should explain the initiative is driven by the need to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and monetary costs. (The distinction here will become irrelevant if energy prices reflect their long term price i.e. include future damage to the environment).
- Provide regular updates on how well the initiative is progressing.
- Provide clear advice on how power management should be implemented on different types of computers e.g. those in training rooms, offices and those brought to the University (e.g. laptops). Advice will also vary depending on the operating system installed (e.g. Windows, Apple and Linux).
- Provide technical support during the transition phase e.g. how to use wake on LAN
- Your green desktop computing initiative will normally require everyone in your group to do their bit. Show a reasonable level of patience as people adjust to new ways of working but 'altruistic punishment' may need to play a role.
- It may be fruitful to use other means to motivate people e.g. gentle competition between groups. In general we recommend you relate energy saving to expressions of social capital rather than directly measures of energy use i.e. people are more motivated by each other than graphs and numbers.

First and foremost watch the video. It's pretty amusing…amusing because the guy in the video couldn't be any more obvious about reading off a quecard. Nonetheless, the Zoomswitch is a useful product for those that switch between Skype and regular landline calls, or simply want to listen to their computers audio on one headset. It connects through a standard telephone jack and USB plug, and should work with most headsets. Unfortunately, I don't see any Bluetooth connectivity.

A new map of "concentrated poverty" areas in America has one unfortunate, intensely colored spot in Utah: tiny, rural Piute County.
It shows that more than 80 percent of Piute residents live in what the census calls "poverty areas," where the poverty rate is 20 percent or higher, for data collected between 2008 and 2012.
In 2000, fewer than 10 percent of Piute County residents lived in such poverty areas. Piute County Commissioner Rick Blackwell isn't surprised that a new census report released on Monday shows such a big, bad change over that decade.
"That's when the recession hit, so tourism was way down," he notes. The county has no other big industry besides agriculture, and "it has been on hard times."
Also, farms bring in transient workers who don't make much money. So dividing all that among Piute's small population of 1,550 people makes for an area of apparent concentrated poverty.
"Everybody who lives here really has to sacrifice to be here. With the [low] availability of work, most people have to drive out of the county to Richfield or Panguitch," Blackwell said. "We love it and that's why we are here."
Nationally, the new Census Bureau report says that 25.7 percent of Americans now live in such "poverty areas," up from less than 18.1 percent in 2000.
In Utah overall, the number of residents living in poverty areas rose to 16.5 percent in 2010, up from 10.5 percent in 2000. The highest such rate among the states was 48.5 percent in Mississippi, while the lowest rate was 6.8 percent in New Hampshire.
"Researchers have found that living in poor neighborhoods adds burdens to low-income families, such as poor housing conditions and fewer job opportunities," said the report's author, AlemayehuBishaw.
"Many federal and local government agencies use the Census Bureau's definition of poverty areas to provide much-needed resources to communities with a large concentration of people in poverty," she said.
Maps in the report show that most Utah counties have fewer than 10 percent of their population living in such "poverty areas."
But Beaver and Iron counties have 50 to 79 percent of residents living in those areas. San Juan and Cache have between 25 and 49 percent. And Salt Lake, Utah, Weber, Carbon and Sanpete have between 10 and 24 percent.
The report said that overall in Utah, 76.4 percent of residents live in census tracts where the local poverty rate is less than 15 percent, 13.6 percent live where it is between 15 and 19 percent, 9.3 percent live where it is between 20 and 40 percent and just 0.6 percent live where it is 40 percent or more.

I'M Alive
One day you came a knocking at my
door,You touched something inside
and took my breath away and shook me
from head to toe.My heart's alive again!
You make me smile whenever you
look my way,Let alone the laughter
you bring to the surface touches
the core of my soul.I'm alive again!
Long time ago I thought I would never
hear me laugh again,You touched something
inside that no other could.I'm alive

A very nice SOPA infographic.
Patry, Gillespie, Wu and other academics/industry experts have (literally) written books on the absurdities concerning how the American entertainment establishment has tried to control technological development. These attempts to control technology stem from fears of what might happen to particular bodies' revenues. Such fears tend to be hypothetical and assume that self-cannibalism of one's own business model is inherently bad, as opposed to a necessary element of a thriving capitalist, neo-liberal, marketplace. Amazon and others have thrived on cannibalizing factions of their businesses, rightly realizing that if you get there first then you can enjoy first-mover advantage, whereas if you are the last then there is a lowered opportunity to enter into the new market environment.
Possibly the thing that sticks in my mind the most around copyright infringement comes from an economic forum I attended a few years back. One of the fashion industry's top branding specialists was presenting and asked about how copyright threatens her (Paris, Brazilian, American) business interests.
In response, she laughed and opened a quick file off her computer. It showed just how much money the fashion industry - as a component of US GDP - was worth in comparison to the entertainment industries. Fashion was worth more than 10x as much as entertainment. After pointing out differences in scale, she simply noted that a lack of copyright protection didn't hinder or limit brand development or product creation in fashion: instead it created a more cut throat, innovative, industry which in turn led to higher productivity and profits.
I love the association between Murdoch and Burns. Not so sure that Murdoch's on the winning side of politics when he claims that the White House is supporting online piracy. That said, if he's listening in on staffers' phone calls, maybe what he's claiming is actually more accurate than the law abiding public knows!
As noted by the folks over at Techdirt:
Just as NBC Universal and other SOPA supporters continue to insist that DNS redirect is completely compatible with DNSSEC… Comcast (and official SOPA/PIPA supporter) has rolled out DNSSEC, urged others to roll out DNSSEC and turned off its own DNS redirect system, stating clearly that DNS redirect is incompatible with DNSSEC, if you want to keep people secure. In the end, this certainly appears to suggest thatComcast is admitting that it cannot comply with SOPA/PIPA, even as the very same company is advocating for those laws.
Lauren has an incredibly cogent framing of the legislative hurdles that might lead to SOPA getting through the House and Senate. I think that the 'lets put up banners' is a cruddy way to inform the public of SOPA's implications. I agree that full-on blackouts of majors sites is a poor public relations tactic and unlikely to positively raise public (and legislative) awareness).
What might work, however, is highly targeted blackouts. Why not prevent the Congress, Senate, and White House, along with all other government bodies throughout the US, from accessing key sites such as Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, and so forth. This would make legislators realize what they're about to do, its implications, and create a large enough media event that the public might wake up to what's going on in Washington. We needn't target the public themselves, but just create a focusing event that brings SOPA and its problems to the public's attention AND legislators' attention at effectively the same time.
Now, would political organizations get around 'blockades'? Sure. The aim isn't perfect enforcement of a blockade but to capture real attention on SOPA and its harms, and make those harms tangibly real to the folks responsible for voting (or not) on this POS bill.

Warrick Dunn no longer plays football here, but his dedication to the Atlanta area remains strong.
His foundation, which provides homes to single moms and their kids, remains active here and in fact presented two local women, Barbara Murgerson and Tamaneka Butler, both moms of three, the keys to their new homes on Tuesday.
"I am in complete awe," Murgerson said.

Warrick is exactly what the NFL and all other sports needs……a genuinely nice person who actually cares about other people. I met Warrick several times when he was here as a player and he absolutely gets "it". He doesn't do these things to be a role model….he does them because he like to do them. What a great guy. I'll second what Holland says…Thank You Warrick Dunn!

Being a kind person is instilled in you when you are a child, and this is the type of person that love creates, to care about other people, to care about what happens to other people. Thank you, Warrick.

From Deidre Dennis on December 28, 2007 at 3:45 PM
Our plans are to visit Busch Gardens Europe and that surrounding area and visit Hershey Park. While we're there, we plan to tour Washington DC and hit Six Flags in Maryland and we also plan to make a pit stop in Philadelphia. Thinking about a "surprise" trip to Disney World next Christmas Break, but wanting to wait to go back after Universal Florida opens Harry Potter so we can do it all on that same trip.

My friend offered to pay my way to Universal Orlando in January to take her son to IOA and USF while she attends a conference. Twist my arm!
I'll be spending a week in May at Cedar Point, make a one-day trip to Canada's Wonderland in June, pop in on Carwinds sometime later in the summer, and hope to hit both Knott's "Scary" Farm and Disneyland in October.
And the planning has just begun...
From Danny Melillo on December 29, 2007 at 5:40 AM

From TH Creative on December 29, 2007 at 8:36 AM
We are looking forward to a HUGE 2008! As Orlando residents we are planning a big year.
We will be at the opening of Aquatica. We will breakout our annual waterpark passes and hit Typhoon and Blizzard. As the spouse of a Disney employee we will use the Maingate pass to hit all of the Walt Disney World parks.
Then in July, we are travelling west to San Diego where we will hit the Comic-Con convention. After the convention we are gonna jump on Higway 5 up to Anaheim where we have reservations at Disney's Grand Californian hotel. Three days there will give us time at Disneyland and California Adventure
It's gonna be a great '08 with us hitting the nation's best water parks and theme parks.

I'll be taking some time off in April/May, and I'm thinking about another BGA/SWF/Aquatica/BGE round-robin trip. The last one was great! We'll be skipping SFGA, however, because we frankly didn't enjoy it!
From Ryan Traylor on December 29, 2007 at 8:55 PM
Cedar Fair Road Trip to include:
Kings Dominion
along with Hershey Park, maybe some east coast SF parks.
and the hometown highlight: Knotts
From Bruce Lane on December 30, 2007 at 11:38 AM
Two weeks. Mexico. November. The thought is especially attractive at this moment due to the disgusting weather the northwest is currently getting hammered with.
Besides old haunts (Xcaret and Xel Ha), my lady and I are going to try for Isla Mujeres, and perhaps Cozumel as well if we have time.
I'm actually going to ignore my own advice from my past trip reports (specifically, leave the laptop and cellphone at home), and will be traveling with my laptop. This way, thanks to the freebie Internet hookup at our hotel, I will be able to post a near-live 'travelogue' to the board while things are still fresh in memory.
Happy travels to the lot of you. ;-)
From Lawrence Smith on December 30, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Plan to hit Cedar Point for the first time in June for a week. Then in July going up to Hershey since I haven't been there in a few years & my buddy has never been. Also, gonna use my Cedar Fair season pass & try out Dorney Park in May since I haven't been there either. And of course, gonna continue to hit up the parks we do every year (BGE, Kings Dominion, SFA, SFGA)
From Deidre Dennis on December 30, 2007 at 3:07 PM
I'm so jealous of all you East Coast people. We have to travel 16-plus hours to get to any type of theme park. We are dying to get to Cedar Point and I imagine that will be our trip after doing Hershey Park, etc. For us though, we have to fly to get to the really good parks, with the exception of California which is still about a 15-16 hour drive :(.
From Mike West on December 31, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Santa brought us Six Flags Passes as well as Cedar Platinum.
(We have 2 six flags parks in CA(Magic Mountain, & Discovery Kingdom) as well as 3 Cedar parks(Great America, Gilroy Gardens, & Knotts Berry Farm).
For these CA boys that means a little midwestern travel is in order for 08. See you there!
(Those numbers don't include the water parks, attached to the thrill parks).
From Scott Marlow on December 31, 2007 at 7:55 PM
My 2008 plans depend on how the theme parks continue their "progress" plans.
2007 was the first year I bought an annual pass to Universal Orlando, as I was starting to go down there more often. However, they have not made me to big a fan as of late. Back to the Future is one of my favorite movie series of all time, and the closure of that ride really struck a nerve. Granted I am a fan of the Simpsons as well, but BTTF is a classic, and there was plenty of other space they could put a Simpsons attraction. Now I hear there are rumors that the Terminator will close, which to me, again ranks up their with BTTF. I am already debating whether or not to renew my pass, and if that happens, I guarantee you it will be a while before I set foot in USF again.
From Robert OGrosky on January 1, 2008 at 9:46 AM
Im glad to say we will be visiting more theme parks this year, yeah!!!!
We will hit the parks we hit every year,
And we will be going to FLA this Dec., so we will be visiting these parks also
And I plan also on visting for the first time Little Amerika park which is a small park outside of Madison Wisc. that I have never been too but has I think 5 coasters including a wooden coaster that opened at the end of last year.
From kevin jones on January 1, 2008 at 8:29 PM
Happy New Year
will be @ Hardrock Park we bought season passes
also BGE and carowinds and Kings D were going to

If you're like me, you watched and read anything Spiderman you could get your hands on. Back then (late 1980s) the closest I got to a Spiderman experience was Halloween and the eventual release of the Sega Genesis video game. Coming this fall, for $50, Hasbro will launch a remote controlled action figure Spiderman that can actually climb walls using Motorized Vacuum Pump Technology.

By the early 1910s, the original bathhouse had fallen into disrepair and was in need of improvements. Although the bathhouse enterprise was now owned and operated by the tribe, the federal government viewed tribal members as wards and collected money on their behalf. Ironically, federal red-tape prevented repair of the bathhouse due to the government's inability to account for entrance fee money. Tribal leaders were aware of these missing funds because they had kept accounts.
Eventually the bathhouse was razed and a second one was constructed in the mid-1910s. This bathhouse, immediately recognizable thanks to its signature turret and "BATHS" sign, witnessed more instances of federal interference. Federal agents routinely questioned tribal use of bathhouse profits, including one $500.00 donation to the Mission Indian Federation: a pro-sovereignty Indian organization. Not understanding that economic decisions were the hereditary and sacred duty of tribal leaders, federal Indian agents routinely failed to understand Cahuilla leadership traditions during this period.
