Andrew Bynum's four keys to guarding Dwight Howard
ORLANDO, Fla. -- As I mentioned in my column about how meaningful a learning experience the NBA Finals has been for Andrew Bynum, he was a subtle but major reason the Lakers rallied to win Game 4.
The Lakers trailed by 12 points at halftime, and Bynum said of the Magic players: "They thought we were going to quit."
Instead, the Lakers had the lead -- largely because Dwight Howard was unable to get open to get the ball -- by the time Bynum drew his fourth foul and went to the bench. Right before exiting, Bynum had scored the previous four Lakers points and served as a decoy under the hoop to draw defenders on a play where Pau Gasol looked past Bynum to an open Trevor Ariza for a 3-pointer. Earlier, Kobe Bryant had used Bynum's pick as a shield to hit a 3-pointer.
There's no doubt Bynum is expecting to win the championship -- he slipped up a few times while we were talking and used verb tense to indicate it was a done deal -- but he'll have at least one more chance to apply what he has learned about defending Howard. This is how it basically goes:
- Get downcourt before he can take his deep position.
- It's all about angles when you're playing him.
- Make him go up the lane or out toward the sideline when he's trying to make a move.
- Save some fouls for the end of the game.

To reproduce the problem on Linux, I think all you have to do is try to create a database in the root directory or other unwritable file system via network server. I say, I think, because I don't actually have a linux system. The original bug (Derby-128) was discovered by linux users after my errant checkin to NSinSameJVM which made it try to create a database in the root directory. If just trying to create a database in the root directory with network server does not seem to work as I suspect, or you would like to reproduce using NSinSameJVM, you can just temporarily change this line. 82c82 < String url = jdbcUrlPrefix + databaseFileName; --- > String url = jdbcUrlPrefix + "/" + databaseFileName; or svn update -r 125447 NSinSameJVM.java to get the buggy test before fixed. Then run on Linux and you should see the NPE. Let me if that doesn't work. Kathey

Putting It All Together
EditPutting It All Together
If you read the previous pages, you'll know how each piece of the Tactics screen works. Any given tactic is made up of more than the sum of the parts, however. You can and should set all the previous screens to work together as one cohesive strategy.
Football Manager 2013 gives you a simple tool to do this. From the Tactics Overview screen (the same one with the Formation on it), you can click a button in the bottom-left corner marked "+ Add Tactic" that opens the "Tactic Creator Wizard." This will take you step-by-step to create a whole new tactic set and automatically add it to your team's set of active tactics.
Just remember that it takes your team time to adjust to a new tactic, especially one that is vastly different than what they're used to. Completely overhauling your system in the middle of the season is a good way to lower morale, or at least slow progress.

How to save millions and get years of project cycles back with Velocity
Posted by Robert DeStefano
- December 15, 2015
- Posted in Mobile Enterprise Application Platform, Productivity, Terminal Emulation, Uncategorized
I thought that title might get your attention, but we've literally had conversations with companies over the past few months that have done just that!
As businesses look to refresh some of their mobile technology, they're faced with the challenge of putting far more advanced mobile devices (rugged or consumer) in the hands of workers, but then taking some of the benefit of these devices away by placing previous generation mobile clients on these devices. Though proven technology, these text-heavy mobile clients are not designed for these new mobile computers.
We've been speaking to a number of businesses about this over the last few years, and a common situation seems to repeat itself. I'll summarize one example below:
A 3rd-party logistics provider was acquiring a new generation of mobile devices, replacing legacy Windows CE-based mobile computers (typical for many). They had been running Telnet, but were looking at an app re-write that would update the experience and bring some consistency to their WMS and other supply chain management systems' mobile interface. However, as they got through scoping their application re-writes, they came to the realization that it would be five years before all the systems would be updated, and well north of $15 million.
App migration is a serious challenge. It's loaded with risk – you're modifying or replacing systems that are essentially the backbone of your business. Migration also takes huge amounts of effort, and significant investments (as summarized in the situation above). In many cases, your existing host applications work quite well and it's only an improved mobile interface you'll need to get the most out of today's powerful mobile devices.
That's exactly the challenge Velocity was designed to solve. Your goal is to maximize the user productivity on the latest mobile hardware. You're aiming for faster app navigation, an intuitive user interface – a modernized experience through which workers can accomplish tasks. You're providing workers with a mobile application that improves data accuracy. Best of all, you can deliver this modernized experience without modifying the host applications you've made significant investments to optimize.
If you're heading to NRF2016 in January, stop by our booth #1310 for a Velocity demonstration. I'll be there, and will be happy to discuss enterprise mobility with you! You'll also find Velocity in the Zebra Technologies booth #1603 under their All-Touch TE brand.
Five retail tech experiences I'm thankful for!
Posted by Robert DeStefano

- Posted in General, Industry, Supply Chain, Uncategorized
"Black Friday", "Cyber Monday", the "Holiday Shopping Season" is upon us. Starting just before the American Thanksgiving holiday last week, I began reflecting on all the wonderful tech that has made shopping much more enjoyable and an easier task to accomplish. I'm not talking about the online versus in-store experience, but the various experiences I've enjoyed, and make it a point to take advantage of as a consumer. Here are a few of my favorites and my personal suggestions to help you enjoy them, too:
- In-store pickup: Sometimes, being in a crowded mall during this time of year can suck all the good will out of a shopper. Sometimes, it's so helpful (and often faster) to be able to pick out a few pre-determined gifts online, pay for them, and then go right to the pick-up area in their brick-and-mortar store. This will save you significant time on trips where you want to grab-and-go. Browsing the store on these same trips undermines the benefit.
- Digital loyalty cards: I carry one wallet, which provides limited space for loyalty cards. I carry one iPhone, but within a single app I can hold all my loyalty card info in digital form – including barcoded loyalty numbers. Bonus points for retailers whose employees use 2D imagers and can scan those loyalty barcodes right from my phone's screen (faster still, compared to the retail associate having to key in my loyalty number). Bottom line: whether buying coffee, groceries, or you next electronic gadget, the savings and rewards these cards offer may be worth sharing some shopping habit data with these establishments, which I've written about on our LANDESK blog.
- Self-checkout: I'm like the legendary wild-west gunslinger Doc Holliday when it comes to scanning my own items at checkout. Give me a retail barcode scanner and I can capture every barcode on every ingredient of our Christmas dinner menu in a matter of seconds – including coupons. It's not a contest against the other checkout lines. It's a matter of continuous improvement of my own barcode scanning skills. (Full disclosure: I've worked for several years at firms that produce these devices, so testing scanner aggressiveness is kind of a habit). For the fastest scanner-slinging experience, make more frequent trips that include fewer items. Then, place items in your shopping cart with the UPC barcode facing up. You won't have to touch the items – just point the scanner's laser line across the barcodes.
- Personalized offers and coupons: I like coupons for stuff I typically buy. Getting an email, in-app offer, or (dare I say it) direct mail coupon offer that saves me money on something I buy frequently will likely get me into a store – especially during this busy time of year. The tech may not be the coupon itself, but the analytics that help the retailer recognize my buying habits. However, if you really want to impress me with the impulse buy technology – send me a digital offer (in-app or via email) that allows me to buy now and you'll ship it free, fast. If the product is something you use regularly, or that has a reasonable shelf life (and you have space to store it), give in to the impulse buy!
- QR coded retail tags: Sometimes I want to know more about the product while I'm in the store, but at this time of year, no amount of retail staff can help everyone. And sometimes, I want to research on my own, anyway. QR codes on shelf tags that connect me to your online product page so I can look at product specifications, food ingredients, or even store inventory (where necessary)are a great resource. There are plenty of QR code reader apps out there, so if you have the opportunity to interact with these funky-looking barcodes, you'll be surprised to find what information they can connect you to – even incentives if you buy immediately (read: personalized coupons).
Here's to a great season of giving! I'm thankful to all the people working throughout the supply chain, from manufacturers through distribution and into the retail stores or delivering packages to my door: Thank you!
Add Voice to What You Already Have!
Posted by Robert DeStefano

- Posted in Mobile Enterprise Application Platform, Terminal Emulation, Uncategorized, Voice
When warehouse managers start to explore voice enabling tasks, they often start with an inflated project scope. Often times, it's past research or experiences in previous careers that set this notion. Other times, it's because they have heard the horror stories from their peers – stories of voice application vendors who have entrenched themselves deep in the Warehouse Management System (WMS) in an attempt to make the two inseparable. And the project expands from there. Let's take a look at the three components you may already have in place and how you can add voice to these existing systems to improve productivity.
Your Host System: The truth is, you can add voice to your warehouse operations without touching your WMS! Here's the thing: traditional voice apps are designed with a requirement for some host interface software. It's a relic from an earlier time, when mobile devices couldn't handle all the voice processing. However, today's devices can convert voice-entered data into the same data stream as data captured via barcode scan or keyed entry. Your WMS doesn't know (nor care) which data was entered via voice. For more on this, check out my previous blog: Four Implementation Costs Traditional Voice App Providers Don't Want You to Think About
Your Mobile App: So, it's established that you can add voice and maintain your existing WMS. Now, for the mobile application: if you've already had rugged mobile devices deployed in your warehouse, you've probably been using a thin-client app such as Terminal Emulation, or a browser interface to your host system. If you've got that in place, there is no need to disrupt what's been working! You can add voice to that existing application and save significant time and money by voice-enabling that existing application.
Your mobile computers: You might be looking to add voice as part of a refresh of your mobile computers, and if so, that's going to ensure the added productivity benefits that today's rugged mobile devices can offer. However, even if you're aiming to get a few more years out of an existing mobile deployment, you're in good share. I mentioned above how today's devices can turn voice-entered data into the same data streams that feed your host system with barcoded or keyed entries. That's possible because mobile devices released to the market over the past 7-8 years have the processing power to perform all the voice processing right on the device. So, if your current mobile computers are at least as recent as this, you can add voice today, without having to make an investment in new devices.
If you haven't had a demo of Speakeasy, you haven't seen how simple it can be to add voice to your existing systems. Request a trial here, and we'll help you assess your current system readiness and get you started toward greater productivity with voice.
Before wearables were "cool"

Wearable tech is all the fashion these days. Apple Watches, Google Glass, as well as Fitbits and other health trackers, – are all new interpretations of technology that's been with us for the last few decades. Like so many technologies that came before – internet, email, cellular communication systems—they all started in vertical use cases before broadening into the consumer market.
What's great about this process is that it forces technologies to mature in environments that are even more demanding than consumer use cases. If a concept fails in intense markets like military, aerospace or logistics, they aren't ready for "prime time" consumer use. Likewise, once a technology is proven in these markets, it's more than ready for you and me.
Take for example the wearable scanning system. If you're in the logistics field, you might recognize this term and the mobile computers bearing this name (if not, this image of the Symbol WSS1040 might trigger memories).
Consider the parallels: this is basically a computer strapped to your wrist that can capture and present data, and can wirelessly synchronize to software located elsewhere. Sound familiar? This product (ca. 1997) looks hokey by today's consumer wearables standards and rightfully so. It was purpose-built for hands-free barcode scanning and data entry, not as a fashion statement. However, the extensive research done for devices like this – to determine ergonomic balance (how comfortable can it be?), user fatigue (how heavy can it be?), display readability, operating system and host software interactions, and more, all contributed to the knowledge base that helped design today's wearable consumer tech (not to mention several generations of product evolution on the wearable scanner you see here).
Another fun fact: as you think about the role today's wearables will play in tomorrow's supply chain, only Wavelink has been managing these wearables since way before wearables were "cool." Yes, we offered enterprise mobility management for this device with Avalanche.
There are a lot of ideas out there for how wearable computing will enter the enterprise. The good news is, if it drives workforce productivity, you can bet we'll be ready for it! Where do you hope to see more wearable computing in your business? Comment below or email me your use case ideas: email@example.com
Touch the Future of Mobile Productivity With Velocity
Posted by Robert DeStefano
- June 23, 2015
- Posted in Mobile Enterprise Application Platform, Productivity, Supply Chain, Terminal Emulation, Uncategorized
Last week, we announced a brand new product designed to help your workforce accomplish more tasks during their shifts. Velocity modernizes the mobile interface of your existing host application (such as your WMS or ERP system) so that it is easy to navigate on today's touchscreen mobile computers. So, when we say Velocity helps your workforce get more done, what do we mean?
What we're talking about is the speed that your workers can navigate through a task: entering data, progressing through screens, even selecting the next task assignment. Recently, I wrote about what's making touchscreen devices more relevant in more rugged use cases. Taking advantage of the multi-touch displays on these devices (and the supporting operating systems, of course), Velocity gives the worker a mobile interface that lets them tap and swipe across menus in their host application, rather than have to enter multiple keys to accomplish the same task on previous generation devices. Accelerating them through their tasks means enabling them to accomplish more tasks during each shift.
For example: if I've been using Terminal Emulation for my existing mobile interface to my WMS, I might need to press [Function], [F5], [Enter] to choose my task. That key entry works fine on my existing mobile computers that have physical keyboards. However, moving to a touchscreen mobile computer, this can be improved upon with a simple tap on the field on a menu screen – allowing me what used to take even 2-3 seconds into a sub-second selection.
Now, consider the ability to simplify data entry throughout a task – shaving 2-3 seconds off every selection in the workflow, and multiplying that by the number of tasks a worker can accomplish during his/her shift. Finally, multiply that by the number of workers you have. See how a modernized user interface with Velocity can squeeze additional productivity out of your existing applications?
Finally, consider your changing workforce. Are you seeing younger workers joining your team? The next generation of workers require the next generation of productivity tools to let them get things done. They're used to the mobile experience they get on their personal mobile devices, running Android or iOS. These workers aren't familiar with text-based applications, but are fluent in tap and swipe navigation – reducing training times, and errors, while accelerating productivity.
Five Reasons Touch is Growing in Enterprise Mobility
Posted by Robert DeStefano
- May 6, 2015
- Posted in General, Industry, Mobile Enterprise Application Platform, Uncategorized
There are some great technologies heading into mobile these days, and it's always exciting to see what emerging trends will flourish into mainstream. Some will have long adoption curves, while others may see only limited adoption.
One trend that has become mainstream, and provided tremendous opportunity along the way, has been the proliferation of touch-enabled mobile devices. For those who remember the late 1990s in mobile computing, you'll recall the early days of stylus-based, or "pen computing" – when Palm OS and then PocketPC reset the user experience in mobility. Touch-enabled devices, such as those running Android or iOS, have done the same thing and are following some of the same themes for market adoption.
If you're thinking about deploying new devices, or upgrading your mobile computers to the latest generation, here are some reasons to consider a touch-enabled device:
- Speed: The operating systems on today's touch-enabled mobile devices have made navigation incredibly fast. With the swipe of a single finger, I can navigate through pages of information. Consider the possibilities when your workforce can navigate through a task this way!
- Size: Think about the variety of display sizes you can choose from. By removing physical keys, even the smallest touch-enabled mobile devices saw screen size grow from 3.5-inches to 4-inches or more. And tablets offer an amazing experience starting at 7-inches, while remaining manageably mobile at as much as 11-inches. This size range has opened the door for new use cases for mobility (planograms, reading schematics, etc.)
- Familiarity: Choosing a touch-enabled mobile computer provides your workers with a device that works like their personal smartphones and tablets do – likely with the same operating system and navigation experience (tap, swipe, pinch, pan, etc.). This increases users' comfort with the device – reducing the learning curve, and improving accuracy.
- Data entry: While physical keys may be minimal, the on-screen keyboards work well for data entry in many use cases. Like the operating system itself, the keyboard is something familiar to your workers. Productivity-oriented mobile apps – such as Wavelink Terminal Emulation, also allow you to create custom keyboards for your workers. This means that when your worker gets to a specific data entry field within the workflow, they're presented with a keyboard that only offers the keys appropriate for entering in that field (who needs letters when the field is "Quantity"?).
- Image: Over the past five years, I've spoken with many companies that were considering touch-enabled mobile devices, and a number of them included among their reasons: Their brand image. These businesses saw a strong value in having touch-enabled mobile devices in the hands of workers who were in customer-facing roles. Consider retail store associates who are on the sales floor. They're asked to help consumers find product, check stock, compare online prices, look up registry items, and more. In these roles, having a device that looks similar and works like the mobile device that the consumer is carrying makes the store associate more approachable, relatable, and gives the consumer a feeling that the store is trendy, modern, sophisticated, tech savvy, etc.
Touch-enabled devices are expanding in enterprise mobility because of these reasons, and surely others. While there are numerous use cases where key-based data entry (and devices that deliver that experience) remains an absolute, the growth of touch-enabled devices has been impressive. When deciding what mobile device will best deliver productivity gains in your business, consider all your options. I'm happy to report you have a great number of choices!
Four Implementation Costs Traditional Voice Application Providers Don't Want You to Think About
Posted by Robert DeStefano
- March 18, 2015
- Posted in Supply Chain, Uncategorized, Voice
We talk about voice-enablement with enterprises throughout the supply chain a lot, and hear stories about their prior experiences with traditional voice applications. Their stories are maddening. Their stories are horrifying. Their stories are the kind that make anyone with P&L responsibility want to scream. Too often, these recounted experiences are stories of large up-front investments and then a bunch of unforeseen expenses post-deployment. The problem is the traditional voice application model, which adds costs in these four common areas:
- Voice-dedicated hardware: Traditional voice apps require a separate, proprietary computer (typically worn on the belt or shoulder of the worker), that house the speech-to-text and text-to-speech processor. However, if the barcode-scanning mobile-computers you're currently deploying are fairly new (developed in the last 8-7 years), they already have the horsepower to handle voice processing, so you don't need to buy proprietary voice hardware.
- Middleware or "System Interfaces": In most warehouse applications, your workers are already interfacing with a host system – your WMS, ERP or other supply chain management system. And, in most of these cases, your workers are using Terminal Emulation on their mobile computers to interact with this host system. There is no need to wedge additional middleware between your host system and mobile device client in order to enable voice. Your interest is to recognize productivity gains by adding voice to your existing mobile application, so there is no need to buy middleware to enable voice.
- Host System Modifications: Recently, I wrote about the problems that can arise when your voice vendor wants to make changes to your host system. You've invested a significant amount of money in your host system, and you don't need another vendor putting their hands in there (and charging you consulting services fees to do it). Adding voice to the mobile application should simply pass data back to the host system in the same way that barcode-scanned or key-entered data is communicated. Your host system shouldn't even need to know which method of data capture was used for a given data field, so adding voice shouldn't require changes to your host systems.
- Post-Deployment Host Modifications: Once your workers are voice-enabled and you're realizing the productivity gains of voice-enablement, should you discover a process change that will further optimize your workflow, many traditional voice vendors will require that you contract them to contribute to the changes you want to make to your host system. They want to be included because they've already made changes to your host system to make their voice application work, so if you want to make any changes, they'll need to ensure their application isn't adversely affected. Deploying voice-enablement shouldn't require host system modifications. You shouldn't have to pay professional services fees to your voice vendor every time you want to make a change to your host system.
If you've encountered any of these issues when considering adding voice to your picking or other warehouse workflows, it's time to look at Speakeasy. It's 100 percent mobile device driven (no proprietary voice hardware or middleware required), and does not require any modifications to your host system (which also eliminates the associated post-deployment costs). You get the productivity benefits of full-featured voice-enablement, but without all these additional costs that often make traditional voice applications cost prohibitive. Plus, you can deploy in as little as 30 days, so the productivity gains and cost savings can start adding up quickly.
Coming to ProMat 2015 (March 23-26) in Chicago, IL? Come see Speakeasy in action at the Wavelink booth #4864.
Warehouse Productivity is a Team Sport

In this post (which is loaded with American football references), I've taken a few notes from the playbook of our good friends and strategic partners over at Zebra Technologies and added a bit of additional color commentary to build a kind of "can't lose" game plan for optimizing your warehouse productivity and operations. Taking a look at the recent post from Mr. Mark Wheeler at Zebra Productivity Does Not Increase by Voice Alone, several key points are brought to the forefront:
- "Voice picking technology can be significantly increased with complementary solutions that aren't necessarily voice-driven…" this is, indeed, correct. For optimal worker productivity, add voice where voice makes sense. Voice should be one part of a multi-modal warehouse picking solution, alongside barcode data capture and keyboard/touchscreen data input, for example. These methods of data interaction team up to build the strongest solution – each contributing its strengths to the overall performance of your mobility deployment.
- "Reporting tools can access [individual worker productivity] data and provide insights to the current process, identifying ways to streamline and improve it." Tracking is a key to optimizing productivity. Sure, there is the need to track for ROI purposes, but optimization includes continually measuring the performance of each worker and finding ways to get even more productivity by making small adjustments to the workflow. This is an ongoing pursuit of perfect productivity – scoring the most output and tackling inefficiencies.
Here's another big play: For your multi-modal warehouse picking, consider the benefit of implementing this solution without having to make changes to your host application (your WMS, etc.). That's a game-winner! With Wavelink Speakeasy, all the voice-processing is handled on the mobile device, so there is no need to touch the host system to accommodate voice. For more about this, you can check out my recent blog post "Hey Voice Vendor: Hands off my host system!" By keeping your existing host applications intact, you'll realize significant cost savings, and score some extra points by easing the implementation. Now, go in there and score that productivity touchdown!
Predictions for Mobile Productivity in 2015

What a wild ride 2014 has been in the mobile productivity space! We've seen sizeable mergers, watched the mobile OS roller coaster ride continue, and been thankful to see the economy continue to increase demand for business throughout the supply chain. I've recently taken a look back at my predictions for 2014 and found not too much was far off, though surely occurring in a different manner than I expected. Now, with 2014 about to come to a close, let's have a little fun picking what's to come in 2015:
- There will be more mergers and acquisitions among mobility vendors. In 2014, hardware vendors changed logos and several industry solution providers merged. 2015 will bring more consolidation as companies combine expertise to better serve specific markets and industries.
- Mobile productivity meets the millennials. As more Millennials start joining the workforce, enterprises are going to focus on equipping them with technology that is familiar to them – reducing the learning curve so they can be more productive, more quickly.
- As Android multiplies, Microsoft's mobile strategy will be determined. The number of Android devices designed for mission-critical mobility has accelerated in 2014. While that trend is expected to continue in 2015, the market will influence Microsoft's direction for mobility. We will find out if the market accepts 8.1 for mobile, waits for a Windows 10-based operating system, or shifts its confidence further toward Android.
Whether these or the numerous surprises 2015 will have in store for rugged mobility market, Wavelink will be here with you speaking the language of Mobile Productivity. Got predictions of your own? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your expectations for mobile productivity.
Finally, on behalf of all of us at Wavelink, thank you for choosing us as your partner for mobile productivity. We wish you all the best for a happy, healthy, and productive 2015!
Hey Voice Vendor: Hands off my host system!
Posted by Robert DeStefano
- December 16, 2014
- Posted in Supply Chain, Uncategorized, Voice
It amazes me how complex some traditional voice applications are to implement. Looking at some of the workflow diagrams publically available from these vendors, I'm left scratching my head. Voice is an additional mode of data capture. It is the vocal equivalent of pressing a few keys on a device's keypad or scanning a barcode. It takes place at the point of activity – where the worker is picking product in the warehouse, for example. It offers huge productivity gains for the business by making that mobile worker be able to complete tasks faster. So, why do some voice vendors make it so complex? It baffles me that a voice vendor would require access to make changes to your host system (your warehouse management or ERP system) in order to implement their voice application. Think about it: at some point, you made a significant investment in selecting the host system that best fit the needs of your business, and now, your voice vendor wants to make changes to it in order to make their system work. Once they've made these changes, they're locked in. Every time you want to make a change to your host system software, you now need to include your voice vendor in those discussions (and expect to be billed for their services), to make sure any changes you make anywhere in your host system don't break their voice application. That's frustrating. To draw an analogy, if I want to have my electrician put a new light fixture in my house, I don't want to have to pay my air conditioning contractor to be involved – just because the air conditioning system also happens to use electricity. Voice can be implement easily, and much more quickly, when voice is enabled at the point of activity. With Wavelink Speakeasy, all the voice processing is done on the mobile device. What does this mean? From the perspective of your host system, the fact that the data was entered via voice is irrelevant. As I mentioned earlier, voice is one method of data entry – part of a multi-modal approach to capturing data. All the voice-enabling technology can take place at the point of activity, just as it does for the other means of data entry. There is no need for your voice vendor to be touching your host system, nor charging you recurring fees every time you want to make any host system changes.

The agreement has been hailed as a means to ease the damage that unresolved Indian land claims have inflicted on the resource-based economy of British Columbia, but has also been condemned for eroding the rights of the Canadian province's non-native residents.
"Today we make history as we correct the mistakes of the past and send a signal of hope around the world," said Chief Joseph Gosnell, who attended the ceremony in native dress with a carved headdress symbolising the eagle.
More than 500 Nisga'a members, most adorned in the red and black costumes of four clans, sang songs of celebration and danced outside the new community hall in New Aiyansh where the initialling took place on Tuesday. One man held the photograph of an ancestor who helped take the Nisga'a complaints to government officials in the 1880s.
The only news to marr the celebration came later in the day when word arrived of an aircraft crash, at the nearby Nisga'a village of Kincolith, in which five people were killed.
But, this tragedy apart, it was "a good day", as one young girl was heard to say to a friend at the celebrations.
The agreement would cede to the Nisga'a 745 square miles of land at the Nass River, near the Alaska panhandle, with self-government rights, and compensation of some 490 million Canadian dollars (pounds 200m).
The colourful ceremony, with tribal, federal and provincial officials, is only the start of a long ratification process. The treaty must be approved by the 5,500 or so Nisga'a, and by Canada's Parliament and British Columbia's provincial legislature.
The ratification process has been under attack since negotiators gave the treaty "handshake" approval in mid-July, with critics demanding a province-wide referendum.
Critics also complain that giving the Nisga'a law-making powers in their territory will give them special rights over non-Indians in the area.
"This government has no right to change the way we live together without public consent," Raef Mair, a conservative Vancouver radio talk-show host, complained in a commentary.
Indians make up only 3.8 per cent of British Columbia's 3.7 million people. The tribe's path to this treaty has been as rough as the road to New Aiyansh - a long gravel road that crosses a lava flow that killed 2,000 Nisga'a in the 1770s.
Although Sir Francis Drake first claimed their region for England in 1579, the first recorded European contact with the Nisga'a came in 1793 when the British sea captain, George Vancouver, encountered their tribal canoes while mapping the coast.
The Nisga'a and other British Columbian tribes were soon complaining about the loss of traditional fishing and hunting grounds, but Canadian and provincial officials responded by outlawing their right to pursue land claims. "We had all the land. It was arbitrarily taken from us," Roderick Robinson, a Nisga'a leader and negotiator, said.
Although the rules against land claims were repealed in the 1950s, the negotiations that produced this treaty did not begin until 1976, and British Columbia declined to join federal and tribal negotiators until 1991.
If ratified, the treaty would be the first comprehensive land-claims settlement in British Columbia this century.
Glen Clark, Premier of the province, has called the treaty a "template" for talks under way with nearly 50 other tribes.
"We must continue our work to renew the treaty process to ensure it delivers to all First Nations the opportunities that will flow to the Nisga'a," Mr Clark told the gathering.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The slaying of an Oklahoma couple who were abducted from a New Mexico rest stop and burned after being shot to death stemmed from a lie about whether they had guns inside their travel trailer, a key prosecution witness testified Wednesday.
A defense attorney asked Casslyn Welch, the cousin and girlfriend of defendant John McCluskey, why McCluskey didn't let Gary and Linda Haas go free, as he had with a pair of truckers kidnapped shortly after McCluskey and two other inmates escaped from an Arizona prison with Welch's help.
Welch acknowledged that she told investigators shortly after her arrest that the lie about the guns had set McCluskey off.
"I've seen less set him off," Welch said in the recorded interview that the defense played for jurors.
Defense attorney Gary Mitchell grilled Welch about whether there was a conversation between McCluskey and Gary Haas inside the trailer before the couple were shot. She testified earlier this week that she heard nothing coming from inside the trailer after previously telling investigators she heard words exchanged.
Mitchell pointed to Welch's inconsistencies, saying she has established a pattern of lying to investigators and prosecutors and has tried to diminish her role in the crimes in hopes of getting a lesser sentence. However, Mitchell did not challenge Welch's statements that McCluskey was the triggerman.
Welch pleaded guilty last year to carjacking resulting in death, conspiracy, use of a firearm during a violent crime and other counts. She has yet to be sentences but could face up to life in prison.
Under questioning by the defense, Welch said the plan had been to target someone with a truck and travel trailer so the trio could "get off the grid" and go into hiding. The plan didn't involve killing anyone, she said.
The idea had been to find a remote spot far off Interstate 40 where the Haases — retirees on their way to Colorado for an annual camping trip — could be tied up and left. Welch said she and the fugitives wanted a four- to five-hour head start to get away.
The slayings occurred three days after Welch said she helped McCluskey and two other inmates escape from a privately run, medium security prison near Kingman, Ariz.
One of the inmates was caught a day later in Colorado. The search for Welch, McCluskey and his former prison bunkmate Tracy Province sparked a nationwide manhunt.
Welch also acknowledged Wednesday that she lied to federal prosecutors about her efforts to smuggle drugs into two Arizona prisons where McCluskey was housed while serving a 15-year sentence for attempted second-degree murder.
Under questioning by a defense attorney, she testified that she smuggled heroin and marijuana in dozens of color-coded balloons that she sometimes hid in a body cavity. She visited McCluskey every weekend and took drugs in most of the time, she said.
The account conflicted with statements she previously made to prosecutors.
"The real reason for getting involved in bringing drugs into prison facilities is because you needed the money," Mitchell told Welch.
He then asked her again about lying to federal authorities.
"I've been protecting people all along, yes sir. That's why I lied," she said, later explaining she was afraid of what would happen to McCluskey in prison if she revealed details of the drug smuggling.

Valencia High lacrosse player leaves a legacy
For Jenna Fogliasso, scoring goals is more responsibility than burden.
Fused with her eye for the back of the net, Fogliasso's ability to identify a scoring opportunity makes her the prototypical forward. Her sturdy build invites contact, and she's known to play physical.
But Fogliasso also is nimble and deft in a way few of her peers can quantify. Valencia High's girls lacrosse program was built around Fogliasso's strengths, and its future, as a result, is exceptionally bright.
"I like playing pretty much any sport," she said. "I just like running around. I feel like lacrosse is another way to get out and play sports."
School always came first in the Fogliasso household.
Suzanne Fogliasso, to this day, remembers interrupting a practice to yank her daughter off the soccer field after she received a substandard report card. Fogliasso said she had to "pull the mom card out" in that instance.
By age 4, Jenna Fogliasso was playing multiple sports. Introverted, she often shied away from competition, even when playing exceptionally well.
"She was a go-with-the-flow kind of kid," Suzanne Fogliasso recalled. "Jenna has always been very much into athletics, very good at what she does, but I couldn't ever say she was competitive."
Club soccer and gymnastics provided Jenna Fogliasso her first taste of competition at an advanced level. Suzanne Fogliasso said her daughter's interest in pursuing club sports waned as her schedule sapped the fun from participating.
Jenna Fogliasso never lost her passion for sport, however, and Sydney Hermann was there to offer an alternative.
"I was still in high school at the time," said Hermann, a cousin of Fogliasso. "None of my other cousins played lacrosse, so I handed a stick to Jenna and said, 'Here, learn how to do this so I could have a partner.'
"In two weeks, she took off on her own."
Fogliasso often lost afternoons at her grandparents' house playing catch with Hermann, then a junior at Esperanza High. Suzanne Fogliasso called lacrosse their "pastime," noting how Hermann always carried an extra stick for her younger cousin to play with.
The summer before her freshman year at Valencia, Jenna Fogliasso joined a lacrosse camp Hermann hosted at Esperanza. She had all the makings of a brilliant high school player, Hermann recalled.
"She was sold," Suzanne Fogliasso said. "That was all she cared about."
Valencia fielded its inaugural girls lacrosse team the spring of Jenna Fogliasso's sophomore year. Ecstatic, Fogliasso jumped at the opportunity to build the program from scratch.
Tigers coach Barry Gardner had himself a natural leader in Fogliasso, a player he said "listens and gets everyone else to follow." Gardner named Fogliasso a captain that first season, and Fogliasso said the team "did better than we thought we would."
"Jenna gained confidence playing lacrosse," Suzanne Fogliasso noted. "She helped younger kids. She had to be assertive. She would make judgment calls and decisions. It was different for her to be that assertive, and for me to see that competitiveness."
As a junior, Jenna Fogliasso led Orange County in goals scored with 100. She scored 88 goals this spring as Valencia completed its second season at the varsity level.
Fogliasso, 18, came into her own this year, Gardner said. She harnessed her intensity and played smartly, creating scoring opportunities for teammates when her chances failed to come to fruition. She stopped forcing shots on goal.
"Jenna's not super vocal," Gardner said, "but she leads by example. She knows her role and controls the pace of the team. ... Jenna is the ultimate team player."
Suzanne Fogliasso said her daughter received offers to play lacrosse at East Coast universities, but opted to remain local. Jenna Fogliasso will attend Santiago Canyon College next fall, though the campus does not have a women's lacrosse team.
"Before high school, I'd never played lacrosse before," Jenna Fogliasso said. "Playing showed me to try new things, and that trying new things can work out.
"I did pretty well the last couple seasons," Fogliasso added, "so I've learned just to try new things and go for it."

Some useless commiseration here. My garden has evolved over the years under
Darwinian pressures formed mostly by climate and deer. Plants that need much
water are gone, and plants that deer like are here only in limited numbers, at
their own risk. I get to see about half my tulips bloom each year. No more
lettuce or cabbage or other foods deer eat. I do have a few tree seedlings,
but I have to keep then in wire cages until they're several feet tall. One
reason I turned to irises as a major part of the garden was that deer leave
them alone, though they have killed a few by stepping on them. I used to
chase them away, but now I usually don't bother. They're just part of the
garden. Their population is controlled somewhat by the deer hunt, and the
highway in front of my house.
I have deer come within ten feet or so, but never had one follow me around.

My first two cels arrived today.
- Joni -
I'm the guy behind cereal:geek magazine, The He-Man and She-Ra Blog!, and The unofficial cartoon guide to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe...
is that it only a hand full of cels ? come on people where are your great cels ?
I don't have that many He-man or She-ra cels, but I scanned my better cels for my Rubberslug Gallery
Hi, all. Very long-time lurker, first-time poster.
Some very nice animation cels you folks have. Always cool and interesting to see what cels have survived and are out there.
I myself collect He-Man and She-Ra cels as well. You can see them (and cels from other toons) at my cel gallery:
It's funny that James spoke of cels from deleted sequences because I have a couple of He-Man and She-Ra cels that appear to be from deleted sequences:
Funnily, I wasn't aware that the two cels were from deleted sequences when I bought them. I didn't realise they were from deleted sequences until I skimmed through their corresponding episodes after receiving the cels.
Maybe James can confirm these, if there is any mentioning in the scripts about sequences, that are not in final episode.
With He-Man cel, the mark does make note of MU121 which is "Magic Falls", but that pose is not found in the episode. Very interesting.
I just checked out your gallery - GREAT collection - Yeah, that Man-At-Arms clapping cel you have...deleted scene - And the cel of He-Man with both his arms to the side that you're unsure of, that's from "City Beneath the Sea"...
It's odd, because in the last two weeks I've managed to purchase two deleted sequences...both featuring He-Man...
Also, I should mention that sometimes a sequence is trimmed for time - I have a cel from "Sweet Bee's Home" that doesn't appear in the episode, even though the shot is in place - It appears that they decided it was one frame too many...and I have that frame!

Would you happen to know which episode this cel of Cringer comes from? Like the aeformentioned He-Man cel, there's no MU markings on the Cringer cel, and I don't recall seeing the cel anywhere in the series.

I'd like to get around to posting pics of my small cel collection, but the ones I see in here put mine to shame.
Guys your pieces are amazing! Congrats!
Those model sheet cels I mentioned yesterday, arrived a moment ago.
- Joni -
OMG Eurocoin those must be some of the rarest Filmation model sheets ever! In fact I'm surprised Bustatoons doesn't have em' ! Thank you so much for sharing them, that Starchild one will be very helpful for my, as of now on hold, fan-comic story!
Visit my art page at: http://theblock.deviantart.com/ , if you like my work and have an account there to, feel free to fave or watch me, I could use the street cred !
My new chant: Lets go NA MARA, spike-flail pon-y-tail
Can anyone recommend any reputable/reliable online stores where one can buy portfolios to store the cels in?
I need to get some portfolios to properly store my cels in.
so the demand for them might be low.
I'd feel the model-sheet of Teela Na or Kuduk Ungol would be more rare. (and wanted)
Would the scarseness of certain character model-sheet make it more rare than some other? rarity by demand and supplies? I dunno.
Do you have an inclin, James, as to what character model-sheets are among the rarest?
If you want to just use poly bags and boards (like comic books) Bagsunlimited.com has the best selection. Lobby card bags/boards are the right size, and they have archival foam board backings that work well for cels.

Back in the nineties model sheets were SO hard to come by - Now that are popping up more and more - And since they weren't one-offs, they're readily available...if you can find them...
I'm the guy behind cereal:geek magazine, The He-Man and She-Ra Blog!, and The unofficial cartoon guide to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe...
Got me a cel with laserbackground.
From one of my favourite episodes "Teela's Quest" the monster Bakull with Teela. Shame that I didn't ask the buyer more details about this.
Came today and found out that it's from the batch by Sunday Funnies, who made laserbackgrounds with more than mere backgrounds in them. lol.
So the only cel I got, was of Bakull. And he looks great.
But the Powersword and Teela are printed as part of the laserbackground, which definitely came as a suprise.
Someone pointed me to another store where I can purchase Itoya portfolios, but the shipping costs were at rip-off prices so I didn't order the portfolios from them. I've looked for Itoya portfolios on other art stores, but they were either too expensive or shipping was killer on the wallet.

You can still get away from computers and telephones and see wildlife somewhere other than the zoo. You can go to sleep on a regular bed and still wake up to the sound of birdsong. Yes, you can have it both ways.
However long you want to stay at "John C.""Jack""Briscoe Group Use" Campground, whether it's just a couple of days or a week or more, don't forget to check on area attractions just in case you get bored after a day or two in a hammock. Also, it's important be aware of the fire danger level where you are, for safety reasons.
Don't wait too long to book your spot at "John C.""Jack""Briscoe Group Use" Campground in Missouri - the best cabins and campgrounds sell out early, so check availability and book your trip right away.

text: Applicant A\'s résumé shows an associate degree in business. By taking community college classes, studying online, and learning on the job, Applicant B has earned \"digital badges\" in product design, marketing, business writing, sales, bookkeeping, leadership, mentoring and teamwork. Who gets the job? Badges aren\'t just for Boy Scouts--or video game enthusiasts--anymore. The Mozilla Foundation; the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; and the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Advanced Collaboratory (HASTAC) have created a $2 million Digital Media and Learning Competition to encourage the development of digital badges that recognize lifelong learners\' knowledge and skills. [Learn how digital badges could significantly impact higher education.] The first set of winners in the teaching category were announced Jan. 12. One of the winners, Carnegie Mellon University\'s Robotics Institute, will develop a series of badges for computer science teachers. \"To earn the NXT-G Instructor Badge, a candidate must first earn the NXT-G Knowledge Badge, then demonstrate additional competency in instructional material scaffolding, questioning techniques to build student understanding, and technical expertise in maintaining robots and software in her classroom,\" the proposal reads. Calling badges a \"game-changing strategy,\" U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has offered a $25,000 prize for the best badge concept serving veterans seeking skilled jobs. Instead of trying to get college credit for skills learned in the military, veterans could accumulate badges showing their expertise. If digital badges gain employers\' respect, colleges and universities will face significant competition, writes Kevin Carey, policy director of Education Sector. \"Traditional colleges and universities use their present monopoly on the credentialing franchise to extract increasingly large sums of money from students,\" writes Carey. That will change--if badges prove their validity as credentials. Once a badge \"ecosystem\" is developed, people will display an e-portfolio or \"digital backpack\" of their badges, degrees, and other credentials using Mozilla\'s Open Badges platform, advocates say. Employers, prospective investors, and others will be able to click on a badge to see what skills it represents, how it was earned, and who issued it. Badges could supplement college learning by \"providing employers with a more nuanced and perhaps relevant understanding of skills and capacities,\" says Connie Yowell, director of education grants at the MacArthur Foundation. Community colleges should see digital badges not as competition in workforce credentialing, but as a way to offer more value to students, advises Sheryl Grant, social networking director for the Digital Media and Learning Competition. [See four things to know about community colleges.] In \"the age of the learner,\" people need ways to prove what they know, says Grant. \"Community colleges have been in the business of doing exactly that--helping students show proof of knowledge.\" In an Open Badges world, \"a community college that offers digital badges is going to be more relevant\" to students. Badges let people manage their reputation, Grant says. Community colleges that offer digital badges to students will enhance their own reputations by showcasing \"the variety and relevance of skills being taught.\" With years of experience working with employers on workforce training, community colleges may find a role endorsing badges developed by industry. For example, the Manufacturing Institute is working with high schools, community colleges, and universities on plans to create a series of badges certifying skills needed for advanced manufacturing jobs. However, badges don\'t have to be limited to technical skills, writes Duke University Professor Cathy Davidson, a cofounder of HASTAC. \"Individuals can earn badges from multiple organizations, some certifying human skills such as collaboration or even helpfulness, that mean as much to future employers as skills and experience and credentials from traditional institutions.\"

Two women who attempted to evade police after shoplifting more than $1,600 worth of merchandise at the Franklin Walmart were arrested after their car struck a street sign on Sunday, Franklin police said.
According to a Franklin Police Department statement:
Officers responded to Walmart, 6701 S. 27th St., after an employee reported two women were trying to shoplift $1,650 worth of merchandise about 1:47 p.m. Sunday. An officer found the suspects' vehicle near Walmart and attempted to pull it over, but the driver failed to stop and instead led police on a 2.5-mile pursuit.
The pursuit ended about 2 p.m. when the suspects' vehicle spun out and struck a street sign at College Avenue and Lake Drive in Cudahy, where the suspects, a 36-year-old Milwaukee woman and an 18-year-old Milwaukee woman, were taken into custody.
The 36-year-old woman was arrested for fleeing/eluding police and retail theft. The 18-year-old woman was arrested for retail theft and on an Outagamie County Sheriff's Department warrant for prostitution and obstructing an officer.
Franklin police were assisted by the Oak Creek, Cudahy and South Milwaukee police departments, as well as the Wisconsin State Patrol. Charges against the two women are pending.

One of the things Lincoln will need to do to succeed is deliver something to customers that's unique to the brand's vehicles, which are exclusively rebadged models from parent company Ford. We're not sure this is going to be distinctive enough.
Unlike its last new vehicle, the Navigator, the work done on the MKX is smooth and refined. The stance of the vehicle, with its 21-inch wheels, is aggressive enough. Viewed from the profile, the overhangs appear rather short, while character lines keep it from looking slabsided. In front, we might be witnessing the cleanest interpretation yet of Lincoln's twin grilles. The headlights are slim and stylish, and we're digging the shape and style of the mirrors, which feature integrated turn signals that outline the mirror cap.
That said, the overall look still reminds us too strongly of the Ford Edge Concept that was shown in LA. A number of key styling elements, like the taillights and the shape of the greenhouse, have more Edge DNA in them than we'd like to see. The MKX does have an interesting styling to its roof, although we can't say that this treatment would make it into production.
In any case, this is a clean, stylish and attractive piece of design. Certainly, Lincoln seems to be coming to grips with its styling language, adding some of the very best cues from the upcoming MKC to the MKX Concept. All things considered, had the MKX debuted before the Edge Concept, we'd probably be a lot more impressed.
Unfortunately, we don't have any interior images to share, and Lincoln is completely mum on the details. Here's hoping that the interior is attractive enough to create some distance between the MKX and the Edge. And we hope the same can be said of mechanical details.
All things considered, then, it's time we asked what you thought. Take a look at the full gallery of images at the top of the page, read through the press release below, and then head into Comments and let us know if Lincoln's handiwork is up to snuff. What do you think they should change, and what's your favorite design aspect on the MKX Concept? Have your say below.
> The Lincoln MKX Concept, unveiled at Auto China 2014, previews an elegant update to Lincoln's midsize premium utility vehicle
> Well-balanced proportions highlighted by wide shoulders, a sloping roofline and 21-inch wheels create a gracefully athletic presence
> Full LED headlamps with strips of dynamic LED signature lighting – which light sequentially as part of Lincoln's updated approach detection – float within a reimagined Lincoln split-wing grille
> Projections call for continued growth of the premium midsize utility segment worldwide through 2018
BEIJING, April 20, 2014 – The Lincoln Motor Company today unveiled the MKX Concept at Auto China 2014 in Beijing. The Lincoln MKX Concept hints at a global SUV that will become the third of four all-new Lincoln vehicles due by 2016. It is designed to capture the attention of consumers worldwide.
This unveiling in Beijing marks the first time Lincoln has stepped beyond U.S. borders to reveal a concept vehicle.
Drawing design inspiration from airplanes and motorbikes, the Lincoln MKX Concept evokes feelings of power and agility, offering a glimpse of the American luxury brand's future as it enters the rapidly growing Chinese market.
Several customer research clinics were held in China and the United States to gather feedback on the design to ensure the final execution would satisfy and delight luxury customers around the world.
"Great emphasis was put on the proportions of this concept vehicle," said Andrea Di Buduo, exterior design manager of the Lincoln MKX Concept. "It's a very emotional, athletic design. Its horizontal lines and defined undercuts are gracefully integrated and very sophisticated, yet convey a powerful and dynamic presence."
Intensive study of the Chinese luxury customer over the past few years revealed that a medium premium utility vehicle should express off-road capability and sportiness.
Based on that, the MKX Concept includes elements such as a separated front skid plate, heightened ground clearance and reinforced wheel arches. The floating aluminum body-side rocker molding is engraved with the Lincoln logo.
This execution communicates adaptability to different road conditions, combined with crafted execution and attention to detail.
Defined by an aerodynamic, sloping teardrop roofline, the Lincoln MKX Concept's modern silhouette lends to its sporty personality, which is highlighted by wide shoulders flanking its recessed rear windows to heighten the design. Dynamic side undercuts, a high beltline and 21-inch machined aluminum wheels further enhance the well-proportioned design.
The roof over the rear was lowered to give the vehicle a sleeker shape. Highlighted by a panoramic glass surface that lets natural light fill the cabin and integrated roof racks, the floating rear spoiler houses the center high-mounted stop light and hides the antenna.
The Lincoln MKX Concept offers a new interpretation of Lincoln's signature full-width taillamps.
"Concept vehicles are defined by every design detail," said David Woodhouse, Lincoln design director, "and this MKX Concept shows how Lincoln's thoughtful design philosophy continues to evolve. The Lincoln brand was built on vehicles with stunning design, and the MKX Concept is the latest example."
Lincoln's aggressive signature split-wing grille accentuates the front end. The artistic interpretation of the grille features horizontal lines that continue as strips of LED accent lights below each headlamp. These strips of light glow sequentially as part of Lincoln's updated approach detection feature – one element of the Lincoln Experiences package.
Lincoln Experiences, a technology-driven suite of features introduced on the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC small utility vehicle, is designed to create a warmer, more personal luxury car-owning experience. Anticipating and responding to a driver's needs and preferences, Lincoln Experiences offers a warm embrace that begins as a driver approaches the vehicle and continues upon entry and vehicle start-up.
"The transformation of The Lincoln Motor Company is under way, with sales up 27 percent in the United States over the last six months, due largely to the all-new MKZ sedan, and excitement is building for the soon-to-arrive MKC," said Jim Farley, executive vice president, global Ford marketing, sales and service and Lincoln.
"That momentum continues with this MKX Concept. It demonstrates the design direction for the third all-new vehicle from Lincoln, one that will capture the true essence of the brand – warm and inviting, beautifully styled, and with the promise of engaging technologies that appeal to a younger luxury consumer in a global market."
Lincoln will enter the Chinese market later this year when MKZ and MKC go on sale. An MKX production model would compete in the fast-growing midsize premium utility segment there. With 245,000 sales in 2013, the segment has grown 9,650 percent in the past five years. Premium midsize utility vehicles – which represent 17 percent of the luxury market and 45 percent of the luxury utility market in China – are projected to grow an additional 84 percent, to more than 450,000 units by 2018.*
In the United States, the segment grew 13 percent from 2008 to 2013, to 441,000 units. That growth is expected to continue through 2018, when projections call for almost 550,000 vehicle sales. Globally, the midsize premium utility segment accounted for 839,000 sales in 2013, and is projected to eclipse 1.2 million sales by 2018.**

This review is from: ABIT LG-95Z LGA 775 Intel 945GZ Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: Purchased the motherboard with a rebate, therefore I didn't lose as much money as I would have without one.
Cons: I purchased the motherboard.
I bought it for a build to give as a gift, and I wanted to keep the price under three hundred (without peripherals), so I purchased this board because of the rebate. In week one the board died, and in the process emitted a burnt smell and a loud
noise (sounded like a wire hitting the CPU fan, unfortunately it was not).Then the quest for warranty repair service began.
Other Thoughts: First I went to their rma website and tried to create a new customer account to no avail. I then called the company, spoke to a representative whom offered no help and then transferred me to a voice mail account, fine, I left a message and then waited patiently. I received no response. Then I sent them a fax explaining my situation with all necessary info to start the rma process. Afterwards an email was sent to me with their apologies stating that I have to request an rma thru their website, and that they are also experiencing problems with the site, so I should wait and try again. I waited over a week; finally I was able to request an rma. 2 weeks later and still no rma return # has been sent. I have given up my quest, but I have learned something: DON'T BUY ABIT PRODUCTS EVER.READ FULL REVIEW
