Sandisk 16GB Micro SDHC Card with Adapter — The 2012 Blowout Sale for $11.99 + $1.99 shipping
For when you need storage and want to feel like you have giant hands!
37 Comments add a comment
class 4
Anyone know if the different classes (4, 10, whatever) make much difference in a phone as opposed to camera, or what type camera you need for them to matter?
This same one is $15 on Amazon with free shipping. No adapter though.
If someone needs better than Class 4, another deal is for Lexar Class 10 16 GB at Target. $19.99 with free shipping so basically $6 more. no adapter on that either I think:
I've never heard of this site. Does anyone have experience with them? I'm looking for a 16GB card, Class4 or greater, and this is the best deal I've seen.
The picture makes it look huge! I bet an 'actual size' micro SD like that could hold at least a TB.
@mikeymet: They're already making them in 2TB. MicroSDXC. I don't know if you can buy one yet, but I remember reading that someone made one in 2TB.
@pz@woot: I have a class 2 in my phone and it's fine.
Class 4 isn't worth the savings. Get a class 10, only $8-10 more most everywhere, especially Amazon, MicroCenter and TigerDirect. Or splurge and get a 32gb card. Then laugh at all the iPhone users who have to buy a new phone at an inflated prices to get more storage
@rprebel: So I have never heard of any device supporting more than 32gb/64gb first of all. Second of all, imagine solid state drive prices.
This is my third order from this site and I have not had any problems. N41
@pz@woot: For phones, any class would work. Phones do not use the speed as much unless you're running applications or recording HD movies with your phone. If that is true, then you can settle for a class 6 or higher, but a class 4 can do well also.
For cameras, it depends on what camera you have. A class 2 or 4 would be absolutely fine for a point and shoot. A class 6 or higher would be ideal for anything better, and a class 10 or higher is a must for high-end DSLRs to keep up with the camera's high speed of taking shots or movies.
Hope this helps.
@pz@woot: For an Android phone, the small block transfer rate is THE MOST IMPORTANT rating for the memory card. Sandisk Class 2 and Class 4 are supposed to be the fastest for that.
As an example: I recently pulled out the Transcend Class 6 from my phone and replaced it with a Sandisk Class 2 I had around. MASSIVE speed increase. Counter-intuitive, but most brands optimize for large file transfers. In your phone, it's more important that small file transactions happen quickly.
This link goes into the gory details, if you really want to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
@compassstl: If you're storing Android apps on an SD, class 4 Sandisk is the way to go, for the reasons stated in my previous post. If you've got a camera or something, you're much better off with some random class 10 card, since those devices do large-block sequential reads+writes. Right tool for the right job.
I would think this would be perfect for my Sansa Clip+
I have this card in my Mytouch 4G. It can record video in 720P without any problem. My phone doesn't record in 1080P, so I don't know if that would work with this card. Everything else (music, apps, etc) have been fine with this card.
This is a good price, but I have not heard of this site.
I'm in for one. This by far the best price I've seen, coupled with no tax since I'm in a different state. I haven't used this vendor before either, but the low price makes this purchase a good one to try. I'll post back if anything goes wrong.
Same class 4 card on Newegg for everyday price of $19.99 shipped. No real big deal here.
I'm in for one. My Xperia Play needs some more space... too many games!
@ringo4422: Do you mean aside from the fact that this 30% less than the Newegg price you just quoted?
Class refers to read and write speed - Unless you're recording HD video, class 4 is adequate for write speed. Read speed however, is universally useful when dumping the card to the computer, unless you don't usually have much on the card. (but then why are you looking at a 16gb?) I have a number of SD cards here that I use with my cameras and video recorders, and it takes a good 15minutes (at class 4) to dump 16gb of video off the outdoor camera, which I do frequently. But for that I really don't care, I stick in the card and start the copy and go back to something else. So if you're always in a hurry, get the 10. Otherwise the 4 makes more sense.
Perfect. In for one. Thanks!
After charges for sales taxes (which I doubt they pay to the state and city I live in) and shipping, these came to $15.35 each. Good price but pass.
What this card be fast enough to store a movie on for playback on a Xoom?
For twice the price you could get a 16gb class 10
Never know what one of my cards is going to go in so i wouldn't by anything other than a class 10 now. Besides my phone does record in 1080p
@compassstl: lol.. true
@khellendros1984: Thanks for the technical info. I was wondering about that and your comments/links help!
Currently $9.99 At Amazon.
They also have comparison of SanDisk actual class 4 and other brands "Class 10". For reading speed class 2 is fast enough for Movie/Music playback so no wories. The critical issue would be write speed for Video. Class 2 will probably result in choppy audio/video.
/Adding ?Tag=Dealswoot-20 does NOT lower prices of other items...
@thegogmagog: It's $10+shipping. It's not directly from Amazon.
@firebirdude: My Mistake sorry, looked at another that was free super saver (I can always add K Cups or something to get to $25).
In for 2, for extra memory in the kids' Nook Color. Yay!
@khellendros1984: Awesome link on performance. I'm not booting OS from it though and I do take pictures on the phone, so hopefully the Class 4 still works fine. I have no idea what heavy graphic games require, like some FPS or racing.
I'm ordering one, but don't like this in the terms and conditions, "Please note that all sales purchase on Overhalfsale.com are final. There will be no credit or refunds issued." Hopefully whoever said above they'd used this site is right.
One thing a few of you are missing, The class 4 Sandisk is almost as fast as
some of the class 10 cards you buy. there is a free program called h2testw
that will measure read and write speeds.
woot! is ta best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
received the card but the GENERIC adapter was DEAD
anyone else have that problem????
I received this card two days ago and after some testing i can confirm that it is a fake. Not a real sandisk card. Company has yet to get back to me.
@bethfitz: What did you base this conclusion on? Is it labeled SanDisk so you think its a counterfeit or is it showing something else? I'm still waiting on mine, a bit concerned over recent posts
Received it today. Adapter works, PC can read card, sees 14.8 GB free (I'm sure that works out to 16 somehow, not quite at 1024x). Hopefully my phone will also have no problems.

Take this scenario. There is a server(say, A) at www.mysite.com .Now, there's a dynamic number of servers A knows about (knows the IP-adresses to).
The problem is, if a user arrives at http://www.mysite.com/B, we need to redirect him to the server that the URI B will map to( assume that there exists a mapping from such URLs to the list of known servers, and that 'B' is valid here). Is there a way of doing this without redirection? (First deployment will be n GAE, so this redirection is not possible). What I want is the browser showing http://www.mysite.com/B, but rendering content as delivered by the server running on B.
I think that this may be possible, as, multiple webservers are indeed used within the same domain today.

I've been using the Microsoft Intellipoint software with Leopard, Snow Leopard, and currently Lion, to provide mouse cursor movement that feels a lot more like Windows. Has anybody tried installing this on Mountain Lion, and found it to be compatible or not?
Looks like it's not fully compatible. When you reboot your Mac, Intellipoint doesn't start when OS X boots. You need go to System Preferences and open the Intellipoint preference pane. I'm waiting for Microsoft release new version of the utility.
A few links with the same issue on the MacRumors and InsanelyMac forums.
I've got a temporary solution: add the "Microsoft Mouse.prefPane" to the login item list (in System Preferences > Users & Groups). The full path of the preference pane is
This gets inconvenient, however, as whenever you login or reboot, you'll need to close System Preferences after it automatically opens.
I believe I have discovered the real reason why this happens and the cleanest work around (version 8.2 doesn't fix this for me).
Why this happens:
The issue for me was tracking speed (and mouse acceleration!) reverting to the OS X default and not using Intellipoint settings. After trying to learn AppleScript for 2 hours to hack around the issue and adjust my sensitivity settings through an automated script to adjust the preference pane, I remembered there should be a process called 'MicrosoftMouseHelper' loaded for the Intellipoint to work, and I noticed it wasn't running on a clean reboot. This, I believe, is the issue as it must be run to activate the hardware and software features for the mouse. (Use Activity Monitor to check yourself if this is running on clean boot and it likely won't be running, or if you already opened the preference pane as per @tquang's suggestion, kill MicrosoftMouseHelper process and see the mouse behaviour change). When you open the Microsoft Mouse preference pane, the above process starts and stays in memory after you close the system preferences, hence why you only need to open the preferences then close, and why @tquang's approach works rough-enough.
Heres my cleaner/less-intrusive solution:
Microsoft has released a new version of Intellipoint: version 8.2. Although the site says it supports support 10.4 to 10.7 only, I tested it and it seems to work on 10.8. All bugs and problems that I know about have been fixed since version 8.0.
Here's the download link:

Ninel Kurgapkina
Posted 11 May 2009 - 04:01 PM
On 8 May in the outskirts of St P Ninel Kurgapkinas life was tragically ended under the wheels of a car. She was a Peoples Artist of the USSR, renowned Soviet ballierna and leading teacher-coach at the Mariinsky Theatre.
Only two months ago at a jubilee evening in honour of her 80th birthday, she appeared in a long pink gown with fur trimmings over her naked shoulders, on the Mariinsky stage, where she thanked her pupils, My dear girls, who long ago stopped being girls. All applauded, her numerous students and her stage partners and colleagues and friends, all acclaiming this shapely miniature person, in high heeled shoes, with her wild curls, lively black eyes and loud voice (she was hard of hearing) .
A student of Agrippina Vaganovas post-war generation, Ninel Kurgapkina entered the Kirov theatre in 1947. Like her great teacher, she made her journey to ballerina status step by step, and left the stage in 1981, having worked almost 14 years past the usual retirement for ballet artists. though in her 50s shewas dancing in such form that many people thought she left too early. Recalling Ninel Kurgapkinas dancing, everyone, both professionals and public, noted her speed, attack and energy. They spoke of her life-enhancing talent. About cleanness and exactness, a purposeful perfectionism without which she could not take a step.
Among her roles only one was created specially for her - Anna Andreevna in the Oleg Vinogradov ballet Revisor, a hilariously funny provincial lady. This joyful ballerina never incarnated dry-spirited aristocrats of refined, fastidious manners. Better for her such characters as the combative Frenchwoman Jeanne in Flames of Paris and the spirited Spaniard Kitri in Don Quixote. Both are ordinary girls with a realistic view of life, firmly rooted on the ground.
She herself was that sort of personality, she loved a good joke, had the exact retort ready. She could tame even Rudolf Nureyev. That restless lad was given to her as partner when he graduated from the school into the company. At their joint rehearsals the conceited Rudik would curse without restraining his language, but he would still repeat lifts 20 or 30 times, as many times as his demanding partner required. On tours he would drag boxes of apricots into the carriage for her, presents from her fans delivered to the railway stops on the way. In 1989, when he made his one visit to Leningrd following his famous defection, Nureyev stayed in Kurgapkinas flat not far from Palace Square, and for his partner in that historic performance of La Sylphide he chose Ninels leading pupil, Zhanna Ayupova, then only beginning her solo career.
Three years later, the terminally ill Nureyev invited Kurgapkina to Paris as his assistent on his last production at the Paris Opera, and they created La Bayadere together, just as 30 years earlier they had created their roles. On one of the viedo recordings of the rehearsals the old friends sit side by side, chuckling and swearing colourfully, evidently recalling a rich past.
Kurgapkinas gift for coaching appeared the instant she began teaching in 1969 inside the theatre, and after her theatre retirement, at the Leningrads Vaganova ballet academy. In 1989 she graduated a particularly phenomenal class of her girls. True, not one of them today remains in Russia; all are successfully dancing in Europe and America. But in her native theatre many ballerinas owe their professional reputation to Kurgapkina. For example she almost literally gave Uliyana Lopatkinas career legs - after her graduation from school, the young dancer had no special gift for ballerina virtuosity. To her last day Ninel Kurgapkina taught in the Mariinsky theatre, and several generations of stars were her work. And her life ended suddenly, in an instant - not after a hard and prolonged illness.
Ninel Kurgapkinas farewell is being held today in the Mariinsky Theatre.

The Mariinsky Theatre will be bidding farewell to
Ninella Alexandrovna Kurgapkina
on Thursday 14 May at 10.00.
12.00 service at the Church of St Nicholas.
15.30 cremation.
It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic death, on 8 May 2009, of outstanding ballerina and coach, Peoples Artist of the USSR Ninella Alexandrovna Kurgapkina. We have lost one of the 20th centurys greatest ballerinas, who devoted over fifty years to art.
Ninella Kurgapkinas life-affirming art, vivacious and exultant in nature, was in tune with her own era: the ballerina was at the height of her powers in the post-war age a time of unconquerable optimism for a victorious nation. A graduate student of Agrippina Yakovlevna Vaganova in 1947, who together with her contemporaries had known the privations of study during the evacuation of Leningrad, Kurgapkina positively exuded all her unspent energy on stage, her whole youthful fire. A pupil of the renowned Vaganova, Ninella Kurgapkina also stood out for her strong technique, her irreproachable training and her absolute mastery of the profession. Her dance was in tune with Pushkins «profession bowing at the feet of art». She always trusted in the algebra of harmony, striving for impeccable performance levels.
Much of Kurgapkinas repertoire comprised the solo roles in ballets created by her contemporaries Parasha in The Bronze Horseman, Jeanne in Flames of Paris, Gayaneh in the ballet of the same name, Syuimbike in Shurale, Shirin in The Legend of Love and His Beloved in Shore of Hope. These roles suited the «earthly» character of the ballerinas art.
Ninella Alexandrovna Kurgapkina enjoyed a long artistic career, intense in events, creative successes and discoveries and collaboration with contemporary choreographers. Her vast repertoire, itself worthy of detailed study, her mastery of dance technique, her brilliant memory and her great stage experience led to her appointment as a coach for the Theatres ballet company. She was able to pass on the secrets of her skills to the young artistes whom she coached at the Theatre. Ninella Alexandrovna Kurgapkina devoted over forty years of her life to teaching. Her students included Mariinsky Theatre prima ballerinas Ulyana Lopatkina, Irma Nioradze and Zhanna Ayupova and first soloists Yevgenia Obraztsova and Tatiana Tkachenko. Ninella Alexandrovna Kurgapkinas activities as a teacher and coach were unbelievably focussed and productive. Her contribution to the preservation and development of the best traditions of Russian ballet was truly inestimable.

Who remain among the teachers of Vaganova's pure classical style to the female dancers? Moiseeva? Periodically, Kolpakova (who rarely works at home)?
We may not get one unless one Ulyana Lopatkina does become a pedagogue after she retires from the performing stage. She'd be perfect, since Lopatkina was taught by Natalia Dudinskaya herself and was coached by Kurgapkina for most of the 1990's.
Posted 12 May 2009 - 10:12 PM
Here's a 12-part series of her teaching level 8 class, barre ,a little center, and then the variations from Paquita -- to Ponomarenko, Polikarpova and several others: she's uncharacteristically severe with them, "on the warpath" as Karsavina would say.
Kurgapkina's much praised for her earthiness and wit -- and she's VERY earthy in the Nureyev documentary that came out last year-- but her Aurora was extraordinarily refined --
and look at Obrastzova, whom she coached, as Aurora, how in her last pirouette she suddenly opens her arms out a la seconde and floats around at half speed, which is just enchanting -- she seems like the virgin queen Elizabeth of Spenser and Shakespeare, the brave princess who will take care of her country when the time comes. THose qualities perhaps show better in her students/protegees, especially Lopatkina, than they did in her own dancing, but they are CERTAINLY manifest in Lopatkina, who's taken Kurgapkina's perfectionism and great-heartedness and projected them on an even more heroic scale....
The heroic "Ketinoa" has posted MANY clips of her dancing and coaching on Youtube, and we all need to thank whoever that is for opening up this world to us
There has been a report this morning of the passing of Ninel Kurgapkina at the age of 80 in a car accident near St. Petersburg. Nothing available in the news yet. Anyone with further news - it would be greatly appreciated.
Posted 13 May 2009 - 03:18 AM
I remember Kurgapkina's dancing well, when former ballerina's die there is often a tendency to be 'kind' to their memories, but Kurgapkina was a marvel, an absolute joy to watch and as far as teaching goes she has left a gap that I can't see being filled.
Posted 13 May 2009 - 05:55 AM
Posted 13 May 2009 - 07:52 AM
Many people will be thinking of Kurgapkina during those two performances. I hope that the two dancers selected to essay the role of Siumbike in those two performances embody the qualities of the great coach and ballerina -- gorgeous classical lines and a big floaty jump.

From Julie Kavanagh's *Nureyev*:
"Almost immediately Rudolph began preparing for his debut with the virtuoso ballerina Ninel Kurgapkina in *Gayane*. Nearly a decade older than he, and renowned for her spitfire temper, Kurgapkina proved more than a match for the brazen young star. First rehearsals took the form of a contest of wills until Rudolf realized he had met a fellow fanatic, and converted his initial combativeness into compliance and respect. Without protest, he repeated at least a dozen times a lift in which, crossing the stage, he carried Kurgapkina balanced on one hand above his head--until he had won her confidence. 'He was a little bit afraid of me, but he liked my attitude to work and life. I was obsessive in rehearsals but a normal person outside.' It was not long before the pair really had fun dancing together. Kurgapkina's 'amazing quality of earthliness and energy' excited him, and he admired her autonomy (during supported pirouettes she turned herself, and if ever he was overattentive, she would snap, 'Don't mess!'). 'He saw real professionalism in Kurgapkina. She gave him a lot of advice, and he listened to her, whereas there was nobody among the men that he took any notice of.'"

Let $X$ be a complex analytic space. It is a 'well known fact' that the categories of local systems on $X$ (i.e. locally constant sheaves with stalk $C^n$), and of (holomorphic) vector bundles on $X$ with flat connection, are equivalent. I've been looking for a proof of this, but every reference I can find merely says something like 'this is well known' without further argument. Does anyone know of a proof?
Why are local systems on a complex analytic space equivalent to vector bundles with flat connection?
The important point of the proof either of these objects can be locally trivialized with transition functions on each double overlap given by a constant element of GL(n). So, given a local system, you just build the vector bundle with flat connection that has the same transition functions, and vice versa.
EDIT: Brian Conrad points out below that while this is a fairly complete sketch in the smooth case, it requires more work in the singular case.
You might also want to read Carlos Simpson's paper "Moduli of representations of the fundamental group of a smooth projective variety", parts I and II. He explains in great detail how to make the set of objects of each of these categories into the points of an algebraic variety, and why these algebraic varieties are analytically but not algebraically isomorphic. He doesn't use the category theoretic perspective much, as I recall, but he is invaluable for understanding how to work with concrete moduli spaces.
More explicitly, given a local system $\mathcal{V}$ you take the vector bundle to be $\mathcal{E}=\mathcal{V} \otimes_{\mathbb{C}} \mathcal{O}_X$, where $\mathcal{O}_X$ is the structure sheaf, and use $d: \mathcal{O}_X \to \Omega_X$ to define the flat connection on $\mathcal{E}$. Conversely, given $D:\mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{E} \otimes\Omega_X$ you take $\mathcal{V}$ to be $\text{ker}(D)$.
And if the analytic space is connected, one can add one more equivalence: once we choose a point $x$ on the space (choosing a "fiber functor"), those two categories are equivalent to complex representations of $\pi_1(X,x)$ (the "Tannaka dual").

- Binding: Paperback
- Era: World War II
- Number of Pages: 416
- Subject: History
- Date Available: March 2011
Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
These handsome paperback editions of Samuel Eliot Morison's multivolume The History of United States Naval Operations in World War II are being published by the Naval Institute Press with new introductions by noted military historians. The series, hailed for its accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, presents a complete naval record of the war. An eminent Harvard professor, Morison gained a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve and served in all theaters of the war. His books have won two Pulitzer and two Bancroft Prizes.
Volume 9 takes up the story of American naval activities in the Mediterranean with three major amphibious operations: the invasion of Sicily, the capture of the Salerno beachhead, and the long Anzio beachhead struggle. In describing these joint operations, Morison discusses individual exploits and strategies. Never reluctant to tackle controversial subjects, he calls the Sicilian Operation ill conceived, the evacuation of three German divisions from Sicily preventable, the Italian armistice woefully bungled, and the hard-fought Anzio Operation a mistake.
"Revisiting Samuel Eliot Morison's epic narrative of World War II at sea is like returning to an art museum to savor a favorite masterpiece. Few historians have ever told this story with such precision and eloquence. Morison knew ships and the sea, understood grand strategy and macro logistics, enjoyed access to key contemporaries such as Chester Nimitz and Franklin Roosevelt, and quite likely observed naval operations in more corners of the world than any other American. " — Col. Joseph H. Alexander, USMC (Ret.) in his introduction to Volume 7, author of Utmost Savagery: The Three Days of Tarawa and Storm Landings: Epic Amphibious Battles in the Central Pacific

What Bracha do you make on Sushi?
Is the rice the main part and therefore a mezonos, or is it just a toful (less-important ingredient) in which case I guess a shehakol?
It seems to me based on these two fairly reliable opinions here and here that the proper barakha for most sushi is mezunot.
Though if you have some of the more interesting varieties of sushi that are lacking the rice and comprise other things it will probably need to corrected accordingly.
It's also worth pointing out that those who follow the opinion of R' Shneur Zalman of Liadi (in his Seder Birchos Hanehenin 1:11, cited in Mishnah Berurah 208:25) should preferably eat sushi, or any other rice dishes, only during a meal of bread, because there are variant views as to whether rice is the orez mentioned in the Gemara, and this would affect the question of what the proper berachah is. He adds that if this is not possible, one should just say shehakol because of this doubt.
(Mishnah Berurah adds, though, that the majority view is that orez is indeed rice, and that common practice follows this identification - hence the sources quoted by Simchas Torah and mekubal.)
Berachot.com says its Mezonos and, and also writes (Q13, on that page)
I asked this question to a posek once, since the rice is majority but the icar is the fish, he said to me to to sheacol since the beracha to rice is mahloket and there are poskim who say it should be sheacol.

This image shows the entire baby lying within the amniotic sac. Every finger and toe, and even the lower ribs in the chest, can be seen. Although the head is still quite large, the limbs are much more in proportion with the body.
You'll have a scan this week and may be given the opportunity to find out the sex of your baby. Identifying the gender is dependent on a number of factors, including the expertise of the sonographer, the quality of the equipment being used, the position of the baby and, specifically, of the legs, which could obstruct the genitals. Even if all of these factors are favorable and the genitals can be seen, there is an error factor, so the information given is never 100 percent accurate. You may be able to identify the genitals yourself as you're watching the screen, so if you don't want to know, it's advisable to look away.
If you have an amniocentesis test and want to know the sex of your baby, it can be identified with close to 100 percent accuracy.
Is it a good idea to find out the sex of your baby before he (or she) is born?

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The new Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass has been in effect a few days, and will help with much-needed maintenance on state wildlife areas.
Thirty-two sites managed by the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division now require the Georgia Outdoor Recreation Pass (GORP) for visitors ages 16-64. Exempt from the requirement are individuals who have a valid WMA License, Honorary License, Sportsmen's License, Lifetime License or Three-Day Hunting and Fishing License.
In all, Wildlife Resources Division manages more than 100 properties across the state. However, GORP impacts only about one-third of the areas - the spots with the highest traffic by all users.
The GORP requirement began Jan. 1, although communications outreach about the new pass going into effect began in fall 2011. Signs are posted on affected properties and a complete list of sites is online at www.georgiawildlife.com [1] and listed below.
The new access pass provides for users including hikers, birders, cyclists and horse-riders to help cover maintenance at designated wildlife management areas, public fishing areas and natural areas. That work has been funded mostly by hunters and anglers.
"As budgets have become tighter over the last few years, maintenance funds have been stretched thin," says Dan Forster, director, Wildlife Resources Division. "Hunters and anglers have been paying the bill through state license fees and federal excise taxes to maintain these properties. However, other users contribute to the general wear and tear of the sites too. The GORP revenue will be directed to long overdue maintenance projects such as roadways, trails, parking lots and other facilities."
Forster explains that the 32 state-managed properties were chosen through extensive public involvement. GORP was addressed in a total of 12 public meetings in 2010 and 2011. The sites were identified as experiencing the most impact by recreational visitors. Because GORP is a new requirement, enforcement will be an educational process, Forster adds.
For individuals, a GORP costs $3.50 for three days or $19 for a year. For groups of eight or fewer people, the pass is $10 (three days) and $35 (annual). A transaction fee applies ($2.50 online, $3 at retail license agents or $5 by phone).
On sale since Nov. 1, the GORP is available at www.georgiawildlife.com/recreational-licenses, by calling 1-800-366-2661 or through retail license agents.
To learn more, see a map of the areas or review frequently asked (and answered) questions, please visit www.georgiawildlife.com/Georgia-Outdoor-Recreational-Pass .
EDITOR'S NOTE: Following is a list of User Fee Areas where a GORP is required.

New high school football All-Star game to debut next year
SOUTHINGTON — Big changes are upon us in terms of the Connecticut High School All-Star football games.
The Hall of Fame Classic, set for June 29 at Rentschler Field, will feature 110 of the state's best players, by position, and eventually divided into two teams by a draft in April, which will also take place at Rentschler.
No longer will there be the Governor's Cup, featuring Connecticut's elite players against Rhode Island, which had lasted 14 years. Also gone is the All-Star game between New Haven County and Fairfield County, which went by the Hall of Fame Classic and was sponsored by the National Football Foundation.
Rhode Island's involvement in the Governor's Cup has diminished in recent years and its organizers couldn't sustain it any longer.
Connecticut officials looked at various alternatives, including matching up with New York or even western Massachusetts. But the end result turned out to be a joint partnership with Bill O'Brien, the co-founder of the previous Hall of Fame Classic.
Four decades ago, there was an East-West game called the Nutmeg Bowl at Kennedy Stadium in Bridgeport.
When the Nutmeg State Games were introduced in the late 1980s, a football game was also included. That game was replaced by two All-Star games in the mid-1990s.
At an informal news conference at Southington High Friday, the details of th new format were mapped out.
"This option, we felt was the right time," said Steve Filippone, Hand-Madison coach and football representative of the Connecticut High School Coaches Association. "We are able to involve more Connecticut kids. Not that we needed a shot in the arm, but the draft (system) will give us a shot in the arm.
"Our (expanded) playoff system (32 teams) has caught on and the FCIAC pairing with the SCC, and the SWC and Naugatuck Valley League agreeing to play each other during the regular season has helped keep our sport growing," added Filippone. "This will help keep the interest high, too. This is one of the pieces of the process."
O'Brien made the suggestion that the name of the game be called the Hall of Fame Classic.
"We really think that this is a positive thing," said O'Brien. "Connecticut football has improved dramatically since we both started our All-Star games."
All of the major sponsors with the county all-star games will be remain, according to O'Brien.
There will be two, three-hour combines taking place at the New Haven Athletic Center on March 24. The draft will be held in April.
A maximum of four players can be taken from each school although a fifth could be added by each of the head coaches from their own teams.
The head coaches and staffs will be selected on Jan. 12 at the Walter Camp Foundation Breakfast of Champions. Each team will have 10 assistant coaches, but of that list, seven must be head coaches of their teams.
"We want to have the most experienced coaches out there," said John Fontana, the executive director of the Connecticut High School coaches Association. "With the new format, there was a lot of give and take."
The selected players will be housed nightly at the military base at Camp Niantic for a weeklong practice, beginning June 23.
That week in June, there will be a golf tournament, a coaches clinic at Wesleyan University and a youth football clinic at Rentschler Field the day of the game. Kickoff on June 29 is set for 4:30 p.m.

So I'm having this problem (linear algebra).
Given that vector a is defined as OA, and b as OB. I need to express other ones in function of those ones.
I currently found that BA is b-a and DE is -a+b and also that OD is -a and DA is 2a. All using the definition of vectors. (I'm studying using Fraleigh's linear algebra.
But, the problem arise when trying to express BC cause I don't realize how. I now that since this is a regular hexagon the norm'll be the same as the BA and actually the other sides but can't express in terms of a and b.
Any help? Thanks.

I have a Dell 2900 Server with 16 GB of memory running SQL Server 2005.
All 3 of the databases I have configured on the Server all have the maximum memory allocated to each Database. The primary database runs my production environment of our BAAN application, the other two databases run a development environment.
Besides reducing the amount of memory used in the other 2 Databases, is there a command I can issue to show the memory used by each database?

I want to list the specification of tripod adapters clearly, following the incompatibility issue.
how should I call the tripod parts that join the 3 legs?
I want to list the specification of tripod adapters clearly, following the incompatibility issue.
how should I call the tripod parts that join the 3 legs?
We listen. We try harder.
Hello Nick,
I suggest: tripod joint disk, or shorter tripod joint.
This name fits all models with or without a center column.
Hi Wim,
Sound good and clear to most people.
thx a lot.
We listen. We try harder.
Nick, The words that first came to mind were shoulder and yoke. Looking around, I found somebody else had similar thoughts: http://woodgears.ca/tripod/head.html . I think shoulder piece/plate/unit would fit the bill.
Hi John,
Thx a lot. It does look like a shoulder. :-)
We listen. We try harder.
Nick and John,
Yesterday my first thought was "tripod shoulder" but to be sure that these words are valid I googled a bit.
To my surprise all I got was a bunch of references to shoulder straps and shoulder supports for cameras but none of them where about the tripod itself.
We all know about tripod; legs, center column, spikes, but obviously there is no "registrated" name for "the part that joins the legs of the the tripod" and that is a bit strange.
I support John suggestion to name it "shoulder", the word "yoke" is not familiar to me and I think that persons who are not native english spoken wil confuse it with "joke".
Often branches refer to this parts as disk: http://www.gitzo.de/stativ-serie-3-c...alr-power-disk
So I would tend to name it "tripod top disk".
not so easy to find a good description. Camera mounting plate, -disk. Disk for me refers to a "round plate", used on top of center columns as well as on tripods without center column.
Anyway, the camera body part the tripod connects to is always named "tripod socket". May be " camera- or tripod socket connection"?
Ah ok,
Feisol names the part where the legs are connected "mainframe".
One thing may complicate - that is the leveling center column - Manfroto offers one as does Feisol. I have Manfrotto's which is a full length column, seriously debating getting Feisol's which is an abbreviated length. I use the center column rather than the legs for rough leveling, then the EZ-leveler to fine-tune.
Hello Nick,
In the world of Surveying (or Geomatics as it is now called) the part of the survey tripod that connects the 3 legs is called the head,
but in the world of photography the head appears to refer to the bit that goes on top for attaching the camera (or Nodal Ninja) to so the camera can be aimed, so I go along with John's suggestion, supported by Wim, of calling this the "shoulder".
Best regards, Hugh.

Imagining a Better Future
Kayla Perkowski, Civil Engineering Technology, 2013
Co-op Employer: Imagination Nation Children's Museum in Bristol, CT
Co-op Position: Science/Engineering Intern
Hometown: Wallingford, CT
Creating Her Own Co-op
"I wanted to try something completely different than just sitting at a desk every day," said civil engineering technology senior Kayla Perkowski, who cited her love of children and science as reasons for applying at the museum. Although Perkowski eventually wants to work as a structural engineer, she knew she wanted the opportunity to work with kids before graduation. In her role, she teaches experiments to Imagination Nation's visitors and creates lesson plans for science classes for the preschool located inside the museum.
Staying Close to Home
A native of Connecticut, Perkowski contacted Imagination Nation because she wanted to stay close to home for her final co-op. The museum hadn't been built yet when she was growing up, so she asked her six-year-old cousin what she thought about it. "Before applying, I checked it out with her. She raved about it."
Influencing the Next Generation
Before teaching the children about hydraulics and civil engineering, Perkowski first has to make everything simpler. "You have to really know the basics because otherwise it goes over their heads," she said.
To do that, Perkowski incorporates what she learned from her engineering classes at Wentworth into subjects the students already understand, like water and airplanes. "Because of my hydraulics classes, I know how the water pumps in the museum's water display work and I show the kids an example of how they work by creating a dam within the display."
She says one of the best parts of her job is when the kids get excited about something they're doing at the experiment table. "That's when I first knew I liked science too," she said.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is planning to offer to divest a large chunk of T-Mobile USA to gain clearance from the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its takeover, Bloomberg reported citing a person familiar with the plan.
The size of the assets to be divested hasn't yet been decided, but it could even go up to 40 percent, much higher than what AT&T had initially expected, the person told Bloomberg.
AT&T needs permission from both the DOJ and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the merger.
However, the DOJ has filed a civil antitrust lawsuit at the federal court in Washington to block it, saying the merger will substantially cut down competition in the market. The trial is set to begin in February.
Only way out
The Bloomberg report said the divestiture proposal might be the only way AT&T has to avoid a lengthy court battle, and that it could be presented as early as the next DOJ hearing on Nov. 30.
The divestiture will likely contain a higher share of customers and lower percentage of spectrum, the source told Bloomberg.
An analyst interviewed by Bloomberg was, however, skeptical of the plan's success, saying that the pool of potential buyers isn't very big and those that might be interested probably wouldn't have a chance.
"It's unlikely that the DOJ would allow a big competitor like Verizon to purchase the assets," Macquarie Securities USA analyst Kevin Smithen said.
"We have every right to withdraw our merger from the FCC, and the FCC has no right to stop us. Any suggestion the agency might do otherwise would be an abuse of procedure which we would immediately challenge in court." -- AT&T General Counsel Wayne Watts
Citing three sources, Bloomberg said that according to a term in the agreement, AT&T could pay less than the deal's original $39 billion value if regulators demand asset sales greater than 20 percent of the deal value, or about $7.8 billion.
FCC also against deal
The deal has also been buffeted by the FCC. The agency's chairman circulated a draft order on Tuesday among other commissioners asking for an administrative hearing on the acquisition, the first step towards blocking the deal.
AT&T withdrew its application from the FCC after that.
On Thursday, FCC officials said that they had the options to deny the withdrawal -- allowing it to go ahead to the administrative hearing -- or grant it with prejudice, meaning the companies will be barred from bringing the deal back for consideration. Both options would essentially kill the deal.
In a statement on Friday, AT&T General Counsel Wayne Watts said, "We have every right to withdraw our merger from the FCC, and the FCC has no right to stop us. Any suggestion the agency might do otherwise would be an abuse of procedure which we would immediately challenge in court."

Questionable Customer Support

Comments about iRobot Scooba® Floor Prep Squeegee (2 pieces):
I'm very disappointed with iRobot's support of their older products. I'm using ad admittedly ancient Scooba, but it has been performing flawlessly and I've purchased numerous batteries and replenishment kits from iRobot to keep it running. Unfortunately the plastic piece that holds the squeegee in place cracked and was damaged beyond repair. I spoke with a phone representative who informed me that this part consists of only the rubber refill, not the plastic casing (seems about 50 cents worth of plastic) that holds the squeegee in place, and that part was not available as a replacement part. The representative offered no ideas or solutions, simply that the loss of this flimsy plastic sleeve just means that the Scooba won't work properly any longer, and I had no repair options available. This strikes me as horrific customer service, and despite my purchase of numerous Roombas and Scoobas over the years I'm disgusted enough that it just may be time to try one of the competitors.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Can I extend saved components???
Can I extend saved components in Architect?
Say I create a new component and add some configs and methods. I then save this component to the toolbox.
How can I use this component in the project by using it as a base component and extending it into more new components?
I'd like to drag it to the inspector and have it create a new object extending my original one.
Is this possible? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
4 Jan 2013 3:48 PM #2
Unfortunately this is not yet possible in Architect. You are also unable to extend top-level components in the inspector, which is essentially the same thing. We do have plans to fully support deep extension of project classes in a near future release, though it won't be in the upcoming 2.2.Jason Johnston
Sencha Architect Development Team
7 Jan 2013 1:34 PM #3
If I cannot extend components yet, is there a way where I could add an item to view by xtype in Architect?
I'll define the components manually and then add them as a resource.
It would be nice to have a item in the toolbox like "generic item" or "xType" component or whatever it should be called.
Upon dragging this item from the toolbox to a existing component in the project inspector they would be added to the items array like this:
{ xtype: 'mycustomwhatever' }
"xtype" could be the only required config.
All the rest of the config items would be custom as Architect does not know what is in that item.
But I do!
7 Jan 2013 1:40 PM #4
As it turns out, we're introducing something very much like that in the upcoming 2.2 release. When you add a child component, you can specify a 'createAlias' which essentially overrides the xtype in its config object in the generated code. A screenshot:

This is something I've needed.
Any time soon?
31 Mar 2013 9:15 PM #6
createAlias is now in Architect 2.2
createAlias is now in Architect 2.2
1 Apr 2013 2:19 AM #7
And it works good!
NOTE: If you have a top level item in the inspector, createAlias does not show up. Child items will have this config property.
For example, drag a toolbar to the view area. No createAlias property.
Then drag a button to the toolbar. This button will have a createAlias property and you can use a component save in a file somewhere and pointed to by the loader path.

The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete in the Georgia Tournament. Schools in nearly 80 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports. Research has shown that the program, administered through a minimum two-week course during the school year, improves class attendance and behavior. NASP universal fit bows make it possible for students of all sizes and genders to succeed in archery while raising self-esteem levels and improving hand-eye coordination during physical activity.
NASP is taught in 48 states as well as six countries. To date, more than nine million students have gone through the program.
