Gold & Platinum Refining by the Acid Method
Shor carries everything you need to refine gold, silver and platinum group metals.
Our saltwater system, the Simplicity Refining System works without acids or other toxic chemicals. This system is suitable for refining jewelry, bullion, coins, jeweler's bench sweeps and other similar material.
Our aqua regia system, the Shor Aqua Regia Gold & Platinum Refining System, uses no nitric acid, is completely self-contained and employs an integrated scrubber to clean and neutralize all fumes before they are exhausted. This system uses the revolutionary Quadratic Precipitant and MX3 concentrated dissolving agent.
We also have all of the chemicals you need for refining, including both chemical compounds and mixtures developed by Shor R&D (such as Quadratic and MX3), complete chemical kits like the Aqua Regia Starter Kit, as well as the more common chemicals such as sodium nitrate and sodium metabisulfite. All at very competitive prices. Comprehensive instructions are available on all of these products, as well as free, no-charge technical support.
Shor Aqua Regia Gold & Platinum Refining SystemFor complete video instructions:
One of the safest and most advanced aqua regia gold refining systems available.
The Shor Aqua Regia Gold & Platinum Refining System is ideally suited for refining of electronic scrap as well as jeweler's polishing and bench sweeps. This system will also refine nuggets, dust and all other forms of gold.
In an industry where refining companies often pay only 10-15% of the gold content in electronic scrap, do-it-yourself refining is a must. This system generally pays for itself several times over in just the first batch.
What's included
This complete unit comes with all of the supplies included in the Aqua Regia Starter Kit, which consists of:
- One pound of Quadratic Precipitant
- One pound of MX3 Dissolving Agent
- two cups of Urea
- One bottle of Ammonia Detection Liquid
- One bottle of Precious Metal Detection Liquid
Note: muriatic acid, while not included with this system, can be found at any paint store.
The Shor Aqua Regia Refining System comes with all of the equipment needed to refine, including:
- Refiner Base, with integrated Testing Stone
- E-Scrap Basket, tailored for refining electronic scrap
- Reaction and Dissolution Chamber, with integrated immersion heating technology
- All the measuring supplies and safety equipment you need
SKU: SubzGoldRefining
Pneumatic Agitator Cap for Shor AR Refining System
This cap pneumatically agitates aqua regia solutions and gold for a much more rapid and complete dissolution of the metal.
Aqua regia refining of some forms of gold can be a challenge. With gold dust, jewelers sweeps and similar materials, the particles tend to sit tightly against each other, making it difficult for the solution to enter and dissolve the metal. With high silver content kart gold (10K, 18K and green gold), the silver content form an insoluble coating of silver chloride that inhibits the AR solution's ability to get through to dissolve the gold under that coating.
The Pneumatic Agitator Cap solves this problem, stirring the aqua regia by continually injecting air into the solution.
Cap is available in 110V only.$89.95
SKU: SubZaircap
Dissolution ChamberDissolution Chamber for the Shor Aqua Regia Refining System.$99.95
SKU: SubzChamber
E-Scrap Basket for the Aqua Regia Refining System
The Shor Aqua Regia Gold & Platinum Refining System is often used to refine the gold found in e-scrap (circuit boards, chips, etc.). The volume of non-metal (plastic, fiberglass, ceramics, etc.) to metal is pretty high, so much more acid is required just to cover the material than is required to dissolve it. So the most economical way to dissolve the metal is to remove the non-metals after the metal is dissolved and then add more e-scrap.
The Shor Aqua Regia Gold & Platinum Refining System provides you with one E-Scrap Basket, though many users choose to use multiple for faster processing.
This process of adding e-scrap and later removing the undissolved non-metals can continue until the acid is saturated with metal and no longer will dissolve any more. The basket provides an excellent, convenient way to easily add and remove the e-scrap.
- Easily add and remove e-scrap
- Extra basket allows for faster adding and removing e-scrap
- This product is generally used with a Shor Filter Pouch, to capture fine undissolved particles
Aqua Regia Gold Refining Starter Supplies
Includes all of the consumable supplies needed to begin refining circuit boards and other gold-bearing material.
Supplies included:
- 1 bottle of Precious Metal Detection Liquid
- 1 bottle of Ammonia Detection Liquid
- 1 pound of Quadratic Precipitant (1 lb.)
- 2 cups of Urea (1 lb.)
- 1 pound of MX3 Dissolving Agent (2 cups)
- 1 reusable pipette for sampling the solution
- Comprehensive, written instructions.
Scrubber for Aqua RegiaDesigned for aqua regia systems. This is a passive system and requires no pumps other other positive or negative air displacement apparatus.This is a passive unit that should be connected by hose to a sealed cylinder or other similar apparatus.$99.95
SKU: MX3-Scrubber
Treated Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, is much more porous than regular charcoal, which allows stronger absorbance of fumes. It is used in the Aqua Regia Refining System in a self-contained system to eliminate any arising fumes.
Treated activated charcoal not only neutralizes the aqua regia odor, but it also neutralizes the acidity of the vapors. The result is a full scrubbing of aqua regia fumes.
Made with the finest grade of coconut shell.$19.95
MX3 Concentrate
A superior, dry, non-hazardous substitute for nitric acid when making aqua regia. This very dense chemical mixture dissolves instantly, making it far more economical to use than sodium nitrate. MX3 possesses all of the advantages that sodium nitrate has over nitric acid, including:
$11.99 to $99.99
- It is far less hazardous
- Fumes are reduced by 90-95%
- it is more easily obtained
- It is far less expensive
A dry, powdered, non-hazardous replacement for nitric acid when making aqua regia with muriatic acid.
Nitric acid is highly corrosive and highly toxic nitric oxide fumes when used in the aqua regia process of refining precious metal. Additionally, it is expensive and difficult to obtain. By using Subzero instead of nitric acid, nitric oxide fumes are completely eliminated. Subzero can be comfortably stored for extended periods of time without deterioration or hazmat concerns. Subzero is a safe and economical replacement for nitric acid when making aqua regia.
All ingredients in the Subzero are chemically pure.For detailed instruction on use:$11.99 to $99.95
Sodium Nitrate
A commonly used dry substitute for nitric acid when making aqua regia. This compound is significantly better than nitric because:
- It is far less hazardous
- Fumes are reduced by 90-95%
- it is more easily obtained
- It is far less expensive
One drawback is that is dissolves very slowly. Often much of both the sodium nitrate and HCl are wasted because the sodium nitrate remains undissolved. For a compound that dissolves faster completely, we recommend MX3 Dissolving Agent.For video instructions, see:$9.90 to $29.95
When refining using the aqua regia method, it is necessary to add urea before the gold is precipitated. Typically, especially with nitric-acid-based aqua regia, there are free nitrogen ions in solution. This can cause some gold to redissolve after it has precipitated. Adding urea neutralizes free nitrogen ions and prevents gold from redissolving.
This product is chemically pure (99.90%).$9.99 to $79.99
Quadratic Gold PrecipitantThis exciting new product makes gold refining much easier and more comfortable. After over a decade in development by Shor's R&D department, this powdered precipitant has been perfected to meet all of the characteristics you've been asking for, including:
$19.95 to $159.95
- Odorless
- Non-hazardous
- Unlimited shelf life
- Gold precipitates as heavy mud, commonly referred to as "sponge," making filtering unnecessary.
- Precipitates pure gold from all chloride-based solutions, including: saltwater, nitric acid-based aqua regia, SubZero based aqua regia and all other chloride-based solutions.
- Very selective; precipitates only gold, of at least 99.95+% purity.
- Over a decade in development by Shor R&D. Field tested by hundreds of users.
- Reasonably priced.
Sodium metabisulfiteSodium metabisulfite (also known as sodium bisulfite) is an affordable and effective selective precipitant for gold. This chemical can recover up to 99.95% of pure gold when the precipitated gold is thoroughly rinsed. It works well even at room temperature. This product has a chemical grade purity of 99.98%.
Proper ventilation is required. This precipitant has a very strong, pungent, acid odor and is corrosive.
Precipitated gold particles vary in size, but tend to be small and float easily in the rinse water. For this reason, special care must be taken to avoid accidentally pouring off gold with the rinse water.For video instructions, see:$9.95 to $29.95
Precious Metal Detection Liquid
The Precious Metal Detection Liquid is a stannous chloride solution used to determine that no more precious metal is dissolved in aqua regia or saltwater solutions.Detect your metals. Intuitively.
Precious metals are just that: precious. Therefore detecting metals in solutions must be simple so that precious metals aren't left behind.
- This liquid detects gold, silver and platinum group metals (including platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium) by changing color.
- Each precious metal makes a unique and vivid color change.
- Used to test for the presence of dissolved precious metals in chloride solutions.
- Sensitive down to 4 parts of precious metal per million parts of solution
- Recommended use on spot plate or mirror for the most sensitive results.
- Requires only a drop or two of solution to test
- One bottle is usually sufficient for a hundred or more tests
Ammonia Detection Liquid
Ammonia Detection Liquid is used to determine that your gold has been thoroughly washed and is very pure by detecting dissolved impurities clinging to refined gold mud.
- Sensitive to 4 parts dissolved impurities to one million parts solution.
- Requires only a drop or two to test.
- Shelf life of about 1 year.
- One bottle is usually sufficient for over one hundred tests.
SKU: AmmoniaTestLiquid
Ammonium ChlorideThis is an effective and non-hazardous precipitant for platinum and palladium in chloride based solutions, such as saltwater and aqua regia. Add 1 ounce for every dissolved ounce of metal. Package contains 1 pound of ammonium chloride.$14.99
SKU: AmChloride
Citric AcidAn environmentally-friendly way to neutralize caustic soda (lye) solutions. Citric acid is a critical component to safely work with caustic solutions.$11.99 to $49.99
Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide), 5 poundsAlso known as lye or caustic soda. Add water and simmer in a Pyrex or Stainless Steel pot for 1 hour. Removes rouge, shellac, rubber wheels, iron filing and even deoxidizes your bench sweeps. all in one step! Sodium hydroxide is a hazmat item.$24.99

In the movie The Cured, what happens when the undead return to life?
In a world ravaged for years by a virus that turns the infected into zombie-like cannibals, a cure is at last found and the wrenching process of reintegrating the survivors back into society begins.
Among the formerly afflicted is Senan (Sam Keeley), a young man haunted by the horrific acts he committed while infected. Welcomed back into the family of his widowed sister-in-law (Oscar nominee Ellen Page, Juno), Senan attempts to restart his life–but is society ready to forgive him and those like him? Or will fear and prejudice once again tear the world apart?
Pulsing with provocative parallels to our troubled times, The Cured is a smart, scary, and hauntingly human tale of guilt and redemption.
Some of the scenes from the movie The Cured were filmed in the old Belfast Victorian prison called the Crumlin jail.
Fun fact: Ellen Page bought the entire production crew pancakes on the last day of filming.
Check out photos from The Cured:

Past Public Program
Chen Tamir gave a survey of the history of Israeli art, from its founding to the present day, with a special focus on the social, political, technological, and economic circumstances that have shaped its fascinating history and the radical art being made today. Special attention was placed on how the Occupation, technology, and the liberalizing of the economy in the 1980s and 1990s spurred developments in the mass media and visual culture that have so greatly affected video art since. The 45-minute lecture was followed by screenings of videos by artists Boaz Arad and Miki Kratsman, Yael Bartana, Nir Evron, Dor Guez, Raafat Hattab, Itamar Rose, Ruti Sela and Doron Solomons.

053: Fighting Crime On the Streets To Catching Keyboard Gangsters w/Morgan Wright Part 1
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 58:37 — 53.7MB) | Embed
Google and Facebook are the epitome of unchecked power. What are the biggest mistakes we're making when it comes to our online security? Why isn't there a category king in the internet security space? Why is every company a tech company nowadays? On this episode, we are joined by Morgan Wright, who shares on his career and staying safe in this highly connected world.
It's hard for people to quantify the value of security immediately. Unlike seat belts, and planes, there is no immediate impact if I have a bad password. -Morgan Wright
- Facebook is not a platform for you to exploit, you are a platform for Facebook to exploit.
- Hacking is often self imposed, we shoot ourselves in our foot with bad passwords and weak security.
- It's not about what security stops, it's about what it makes possible.
At the start of the show, Morgan shared on how he got started and his background as a cop. We also talked about his current job as a security expert, and what people need to do to be safe on the internet. We also talked about why hacking is mostly self-imposed, what security companies get wrong with their marketing, and why companies really have to elevate the CISO. Towards the end of the show, we talked about the importance of making security a part of your culture.
Morgan also spoke about;
- Ransomware as a service
- Reasonable suspicion vs. probable cause
- Why are there no category kings in internet security
- What country he fears the most
- Why every home needs a shredder
In this day and age, you should be as able to talk about security as you are about profit and loss, human resources, and the stock price. Until we get to that point, security won't be taken as seriously as the bottom line. We have to make security part of our culture if we want it to really become a priority. Remember things like good passwords, secure VPN and two-factor authentication, make the biggest difference in keeping you safe.

We did it!
Jess Cook raised £487 from 27 supporters
Start your own crowdfunding page
Closed 27/11/2017
We've raised £487 to help me Molly Dolly, continue to fight Rett Syndrome!
- Funded on Monday, 27th November 2017
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Hello everyone,
It's me Molly Dolly :)
As some of you may already know, I was officially diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in October last year. Rett Syndrome is an incredibly rare neurological disorder causing severe mental and physical disabilities.
I am now in the regression stage of the syndrome which has left me unable to walk, talk and use my hands. I get very distressed and have several screaming episodes each day which are sadly out of my control. I have problems sleeping and difficulty eating, chewing and swallowing. Very soon, I am expected to develop breathing problems and seizures.
Things are very hard for me at the moment and will get even tougher as I get bigger and older. I will continue to need lots of specialist care, equipment and therapy to improve my quality of life. Your kind donations will help make this possible.
Rett syndrome controls every aspect of my life but I refuse to let it take away my smile!!!
Thank you to all my friends and family who continue to support me :)
Lots and lots of love,
Molly Dolly xxxx

The most watched cable premiere of the year, TNT's Falling Skies, has taken on wordwide buzz. The executive producer is Steven Spielberg and the visual magic is thanks to DreamWorks. The red carpet was rolled out in Munich this week and we took note.
Ivonne Polizzano and Steve Madden Marvilis
Steve Madden has a Marvilis Wedge Espadrille Blush Suede that's good to go with a great-looking top like this, worn by actress Ivonne Polizzano. Steve Madden's Marvilis is a real go-to for the summer's splashy and floral prints.
Natascha Gruen and Diane Von Furstenberg Kathryn
A Diane Von Furstenberg open-toe always succeeds in adding height and grace to a pretty blue marine frock like this, worn by Natascha Gruen. For a strappy high-end look it's all there in the Diane Von Furstenberg Kathryn Cage Sandal Black Leather.
Sarah Winkhaus and KORS Michael Kors Vail
German TV host Sarah Winkhaus made sure her form-fitting dress left lasting impressions via gold waist accent. Another lasting impression for Sarah would be via the KORS Michael Kors Vail Wedge Pumps Black Suede. KORS Michael Kors is well known for delivering a tapered and contoured look in quality shoes.

Mercury News reports that Apple is experimenting with a new store type in Palo Alto that is a few meters apart from its store in 451 University Avenue. The new store will include skylight, trees and "inviting day-lit interior that is designed to dissolve the boundary between exterior and interior to connect the activity on the street and within the store,"
The work will begin 'any day now' and Apple will use all the experience it has gathered from its Palo Alto store and all its stores from all around the world and put it all into this new store.
Here is what Apple said in a statement –
"Our Palo Alto store was one of our first retail stores when we opened it nearly a decade ago and it's been incredibly popular.
We are planning a beautiful new store just a few steps away, building on everything we've learned from our customers in Palo Alto and around the world."

Where are the certified identification cards for taxi fare beneficiaries?04/11/2011 10:51
While the Consumer Council is appreciative of the fact that a 20 percent fareconcession has been awarded for up to 20km of distance to senior and physically challenged citizens, the Council however is disappointed with the inaction on the part of relevant stakeholders to make this happen. The new taxi fare comes into effect from 7 November and senior and physically challenged citizens are not aware how it will be implemented.
With the announcement of new taxi fare increase few weeks ago, certain conditionswere laid out in the agreement between the Government and the Fiji Taxi Union. Oneof it was to give 20percent discount on the new taxi fare within the perimeter of20km to senior and physically challenged citizens. The Fiji Taxi Union through apublic notice has announced to support this in good faith.
To date the Council has not seen any sign of this happening. It has not even been mentioned as to which appropriate agency would be issuing the certifiedidentification cards.
A number of consumers have raised concerns as to how they will benefit from this arrangement when they are not equipped with appropriate identification cards in the first place.
A number of consumers have raised concerns as to how they will benefit from thisa rrangement when they are not equipped with appropriate identification cards in thefirst place.
The Council on behalf of the consumers seeks answers from all stakeholdersinvolved. The Ministry of Transport should make an announcement to guide thepublic who are continuously enquiring this. Today is the last working day and thenew taxi fare will be implemented after two days. The delay in the issuance ofidentification cards will mean double suffering for our senior and physicallychallenged citizens.
Part of the signed agreement also states for taxi meters to be switched on at all timesfor throughout Fiji and for taxi drivers to produce a receipt upon demand bypassengers. The issued receipt would contain details such as fare charged, distancetravelled, taxi registration number, owners contact details etc.
Passengers are therefore advised to ensure the meter is switched on when they boarda taxi and to demand for a receipt as the evidence of their travel shall they require anyredress later. Consumers should also practice taxi pooling as this will lessen the burden of paying high taxi fares individually.
The Council also urges the Land Transport Authority to be vigilant in its monitoringof taxis using meters and issuing receipts which is compulsory under the new fare conditions.
The Council will be closely monitoring the movement of taxi operators to ensure they live up to their words and meet public expectation in their service delivery.

"Cougar Town" stars Courteney Cox as Jules, Christa Miller as Elle, Busy Philipps as Laurie, Dan Byrd as Travis, Brian Van Holt as Bobby, Josh Hopkins as Grayson and Ian Gomez as Andy.
The series is from ABC Studios. Bill Lawrence is executive producer/writer/director, Kevin Biegel is writer/co-executive producer, and Courteney Cox and David Arquette are executive producers.
Sean's Take: While not my cup of tea, this might have some longevity to it. It's a timely issue in our society as women are owning their sexuality much later into life than they used to. Might go to a second season, I'm not sure yet.
Each year one of LA's most prestigious law firms recruits four young lawyers from the finest law schools worldwide. The only way for these first-years to survive is to support each other even as they compete against one another in the cutthroat arena of high-end law. Sex, greed, romance, betrayal it's all part of being a first year associate at Sterling Law.
"The Deep End" stars Matt Long as Dylan Hewitt, Ben Lawson as Liam Priory, Tina Majorino as Addy Fisher, Norbert Leo Butz as Rowdy Kaiser, Leah Pipes as Beth Bancroft, Billy Zane as Cliff Huddle, Sherri Saum as Susan Oppenheim and Clancy Brown as Hart Sterling.
The series is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television. David Hemingson is executive producer/writer. The pilot was directed by Michael Fresco.
Sean's Take: I don't know why, but I'm getting a real Dirty Sexy Money vibe off of this one. Any time ABC tries to focus on "sex" and "greed" they pretty much bungle the job. It just isn't who they are.
Three very different women find themselves drawn together by a mysterious man who unleashes unique powers in each of them, and this small New England town will never be the same. The series is based on the popular movie "The Witches of Eastwick" and on the novel of the same title by John Updike.
"Eastwick" stars Rebecca Romijn as Roxie Torcoletti, Lindsay Price as Joanna Frankel, Jamie Ray Newman as Kat Gardener, Paul Gross as Darryl Van Horne, Sara Rue as Penny, Veronica Cartwright as Bun, Johann Urb as Will, Jon Bernthal as Raymond and Ashley Benson as Mia.
The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Maggie Friedman is executive producer/writer. The pilot was directed by David Nutter.
Sean's Take: … no, no and NO. It worked as a movie, it will not work as a television series. I am just boggled how this even got past concept to pilot. Bad, bad, horrible idea. If this makes it past six episodes I'll be shocked.
When a mysterious event causes the entire world to black out, humanity is given a glimpse into its near future, and every man, woman and child is forced to come to grips with whether their destinies can be avoided or fulfilled.
Adapting award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer's revolutionary novel, executive producers David S. Goyer (visionary co-writer of "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight") and Brannon Braga ("24," "Star Trek: Enterprise") invite you to embark on a journey to answer the question, "if you knew what your future held, what would you do?"
"Flash Forward" stars Joseph Fiennes as Mark Benford, John Cho as Demetri Noh, Jack Davenport as Lloyd Simcoe, Sonya Walger as Olivia Benford, Courtney B. Vance as Stan Wedeck, Brian O'Byrne as Aaron Stark, Christine Woods as Janis Hawk, Zachary Knighton as Bryce Varley and Peyton List as Nicole.
The series is from ABC Studios. David S. Goyer is executive producer/writer/director. Brannon Braga is executive producer and co-wrote the pilot. Other executive producers are Marc Guggenheim, Jessika Goyer, Vince Gerardis and Ralph Vicinanza. Guggenheim will be the showrunner, along with Goyer.
Sean's Take: It was a novel, and you think you can take it to series length? Maybe a mini-series, but an ongoing serial? Seems like another one of those "would have worked in another format" deals.
From executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer comes a crime show in which a team of dedicated amateurs work on cases involving unidentified victims. After the police have given up, this group must first solve the puzzle of the victim's identity in order to then help catch the killer. They work to give the deceased back their names, lest they become — The Forgotten.
"The Forgotten" stars Rupert Penry-Jones as Alex, Reiko Aylesworth as Linda, Michelle Borth as Candace, Bob Stephenson as Walter, Anthony Carrigan as Tyler and Rochelle Aytes as Detective Grace Russell.
The series is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Warner Bros. Television. Mark Friedman is executive producer/writer, Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman are executive producers, KristieAnne Reed is co-executive producer and Danny Cannon is executive producer/director.
Sean's Take: I don't know on this one. Jerry Bruckheimer is the man behind the CSI franchises, so he knows how to rope an audience, but it feels a bit too much like Cold Case from CBS to me. And the group being amateurs feels a bit odd. Don't know on this one, not sure there has been much like it, will have to hook viewers pretty quickly to go long.
Kelsey Grammer stars in this timely comedy as Hank Pryor, a titan of industry who suddenly finds himself out of work, almost out of money and around a wife and kids for whom he's never made much time. Despite his recent setbacks, however, Hank is confident he's on the road back to the top. He knows he is destined to return to greatness. And he is just not the greatness he imagines.
"Hank" stars Kelsey Grammer as Hank, Melinda McGraw as Tilly, David Koechner as Grady, Macey Cruthird as Maddie and Ryan Wynott as Henry.
The series is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with McMonkey Inc., Grammnet Productions, Werner Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television. It is written by Tucker Cawley. Tom Werner, Tucker Cawley, Kelsey Grammer and Mike Clements serve as executive producers. The pilot was directed by James Burrows.
Sean's Take: This is either going to be a huge hit or a huge flop, there is no middle ground on this one. For it to be a hit, it would require people to want to revel in what has happened to the real titans of industry in the USA as of late. However, that could also be its undoing as people watch TV and movies generally to forget the miseries of real life. I love Kelsey Grammer, but this concept is going to walk a real tightrope with viewers on how much they want to visit this subject this soon after all of the economic issues.
Haplin, Minnesota, "Happy Town," is approaching almost a decade of peace after being riddled for years by unsolved kidnappings. But in the wake of this small town's first crime in seven years, some dark truths are being revealed about some familiar faces. They say every town has its secrets that doesn't even begin to describe Happy Town.
"Happy Town" stars Geoff Stults as Tommy Conroy, Lauren German as Henley, Amy Acker as Rachel Conroy, Dean Winters as John Haplin, John Patrick Amedori as Andrew Haplin, Sarah Gadon as Georgia Bravin, Jay Paulson as Larry Root Beer' Rogers, Robert Wisdom as Roger Hobbes and Sam Neill as Merritt Grieves.
The series is from ABC Studios. Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg are executive producers and co-writers. The pilot was directed by Gary Fleder, who is also an executive producer.
Sean's Take: Again… series length? What is up with ABC and the mini-series length show concepts going to full series? My feeling is pretty much a disaster here.
The Hecks are a middle class family living in the middle of Indiana, just trying to keep their heads above water. Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton stars as a wife and mother of three in a comedy about raising a family and lowering your expectations.
"The Middle" stars Patricia Heaton as Frankie, Neil Flynn as Mike, Eden Sher as Sue, Atticus Shaffer as Brick and Charlie McDermott as Axel.
The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline are executive producers/writers and Werner Walian is producer. The pilot was directed by Julie Anne Robinson.
Sean's Take: Eh. Standard sitcom fare, very bland and middle of the road. This is the network that kept According To Jim on the air for eight seasons, this one will probably last for some time.
Today's American families come in all shapes and sizes. Shot from the perspective of an unseen documentary filmmaker, this comedy takes a modern look at the complications that come with being a family in 2009.
"Modern Family" stars Ed O'Neill as Jay, Sofa Vergara as Gloria, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron, Ty Burrell as Phil, Julie Bowen as Claire, Sarah Hyland as Haley, Rico Rodriguez as Manny, Nolan Gould as Luke and Ariel Winter as Alex.
The series is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television. Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd are executive producers. The pilot was directed by Jason Winer.
Sean's Take: I liked this show when it was called Sherman Oaks (except the filmmaker played a role in that). Could be funny, will have to see an episode before I pass final judgment.
From Mark Burnett, executive producer of "Survivor" and "The Apprentice," and Sony Pictures Television comes "Shark Tank," an exciting new reality show that gives budding entrepreneurs the chance to make their dreams come true and become successful and possibly wealthy business people. But the entrepreneurs must first try to convince five tough, multi-millionaire tycoons to part with their own hard-earned cash and give them the funding they need to jumpstart their ideas.
In these trying economic times, it's difficult for an individual possessing a dream or even a working small business poised for growth to get a loan for a risky venture. Whether it be an imaginative enhancement for an existing product, a family recipe that has all the ingredients to become a profitable culinary treat, or the latest technological gadget that could take the world by storm, most of these dreams die an early death because no one dared take a financial chance on someone with an unproven and oftentimes outrageous proposal. Many of these people now see "Shark Tank" as their last chance at success. Some have been laboring on their ideas for years or even decades, have invested large amounts of money, and are being pressured to throw in the towel by friends and family. Others have simply never had access to the means to live out their dreams, until now.
Enter the Sharks of "Shark Tank" Barbara Corcoran (Manhattan real estate titan), Kevin Harrington (king of infomercials), Robert Herjavec (technology tycoon), Daymond John (fashion mogul) and Kevin O'Leary (venture capitalist) five multi-millionaires who lifted themselves up by their bootstraps to make their own entrepreneurial dreams come true and turned their ideas into empires.
Each week ambitious entrepreneurs from across the country will present their breakthrough business concepts, products, properties and services to the panel of ruthless investors. Their goal is to convince these merciless moguls to invest their own dollars in the concept. Convincing real-life millionaires to part with their own money is no easy task, because when the idea is poor, the Sharks will tear into the ill-prepared presenters and pass on the idea with a simple, "I'm out!" — sending them running for the exit.
But these Sharks aren't just out for blood, they too have a goal: to own a piece of the next big idea. Entrepreneurs will be asked to give up a percentage of their companies' equity to the Sharks in order to get the investment they need. But when the Sharks hear a really top-notch idea, and more than one of them wants to sink their teeth into it, a war between them will erupt. Then the once-desperate entrepreneur can rejoice when the Sharks reveal their true interest in the product and bid up the price of the investment.
Sean's Take: Well, this is based on the British show called Dragon's Den. If they do it in limited "cycles" like other reality shows, it may work. I love the original version, but how many times has a USA network screwed up a British concept?
"V" is a re-imagining of the 1980's miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race in which the aliens call themselves The Visitors, and have a seemingly friendly agenda that may or may not be a cover for something more malevolent.
"V" stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols, Joel Gretsch as Father Jack Landry, Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie Stevens, Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans, Laura Vandervoort as Lisa, with Morena Baccarin as Anna and Scott Wolf as Chad Decker.
The series is produced by HDFilms in association with Warner Bros. Television. Scott Peters is executive producer/writer and Steve Pearlman and Jace Hall are executive producers. The pilot was directed and executive produced by Yves Simoneau.
Sean's Take: Could be great, could be horrible. The V mini-series was great, V: The Final Battle was okay, V: The Series was a complete train wreck. This is a "re-imagining", but I am sure the basic concepts will stay intact, but lets just hope there is no "star child" malarky to mess the whole thing up.
I know I didn't do this with the Fox line-up, but there is something really glaring at me in ABC's schedule: Wednesday night is all new. I'm not sure I can ever remember a network taking a gamble like that. There is no proven show to anchor the night, and that is a huge risk for them to give it a go.
Also, moving Ugly Betty to Friday nights is a bad sign this show is on its last legs. Friday's are like the graveyard of the television schedue, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see it go for a limited run this year.
It looks like ABC is going to stir things up this year, and I'm not so sure they're doing it in the right way.

I got a great comment on the Bow ST thing by +Sean Powell, a fellow engineer and archery enthusiast. So I decided to make a post out of my responses to his comments. My responses to his comments will be in blue italics. His stuff is in black bold.
I've only been the occasional GURPS fantasy player (GURPS makes a better superheroes game IMHO and there are plenty of systems for swords and sorcery
This might be the first time I've ever heard of GURPS as a preferred system for supers over certainly swords and maybe sorcery!
You got the math right. (Yay math!)
After all the work on The Deadly Spring, I hope I can get E = ½ F^2/K correct. J
It's nice seeing someone use historic data to number-crunch a game for realism. (Yay game realism!)
When I did The Deadly Spring, I researched it somewhere between quite a bit and very heavily. I read scientific papers on bow physics, at least seven or eight books on making and shooting bows of various cultures, as well as empirical trials, such as the much-loved Defense Academy Warbow Trials. I even corresponded over email with one of that study's authors. I also paid attention – even where I thought the cases were overstated – to the many articles about armor and how it's impervious to nuclear weapons when made by the proper medieval craftsmen.
OK, I embellish. But between the stories of bows punching through battleship belt armor and someone wearing tin foil mail being impervious to a 200-lb. warbow firing a 1,500-grain arrow, I covered the gamut of bows being the deadliest weapon to not worth using if the other guy is armored at all. I wound up striking a balance that one known armor aficionado mentioned approvingly as a good one: that a strong warbow could punch through moderate mail (DR 3-5 in GURPS terms) some of the time, but not much more. This led to the 130# longbow being pegged at about 1d+1 or so, which would make it fail vs DR 5 and higher. Plate of 1mm (DR2-3) would be vulnerable to strong bows, but 2mm and higher would basically be nearly impervious, and certainly provide massive protection against even the strongest warbows.
In any case, the fact that we could turn Joules of energy into something that could be calibrated against firearms to some extent (take a 11.43mm bullet like a .45ACP with 475J, basically 2d penetration, and compare with an 11m arrow with 160J, and tell me how any arrow will do more than 2d penetration?) made for a nice well-supported touchstone.
I'm not a terribly strong person being a desk-jockey with arm-chair spread but it takes a fair amount of conditioning for me to maintain strength to draw my bow consistently.
The need for sport-specific exercise, as well as technique, is frequently present in the real world, but hard to model fairly in GURPS. Can be done, though, as I hope my article showed.
Very few other recreational archer I meet can consistently draw my bow even if they are very good shots with lighter bows. (They also think I'm nuts) and the ones who can already shoot ELB or self-bows.
Yeah – I've heard too many stories of guys that can bench press 350lbs that can't draw a 100-lb. bow, even though ST 14 probably accounts for the ability to do both. Again: sport-specific. Pushing vs. either pulling or pull/push. I bet the archer couldn't press 350 either. Apples and oranges.
Having read the accounts from Crece, Agincort, Poitiers and the Mary rose find along with others I don't think that the Mary rose held an atypical selection of archers.
Me either, but the Mary Rose had a few hundred bows, and there were, what? 5,000 bowmen at Agincourt? So not truly representative. But on the other tentacle, to reach out to the 230yds that was "within bowshot" enough to be militarily significant at Agincourt, you need a strong bow.
My spreadsheet puts a 130# bow firing a 0.2-lb arrow (about 1,500 grains) with a max range of about 245yards. A 100# bow firing an 1,150-gr arrow will reach to just shy of 230-yards.
A 915-gr flight arrow would (by the same sheet) reach to about 265 yards, but be basically no threat to anyone on an armored region (I suspect 1d+2(0.5) would be about right for that, good for harassment but not a threat to an armored foe with more than DR 3).
Still, it supports the notion that at least a ST 14 (98-lb) bow would have been somewhere between the minimum and a decent average for the "fire at 230 yards" to have the equivalent meaning as "fire for effect."
If the Mary Rose held typical archers and the typical archer could pull in the 160-180 lb range then we as modern men are WEAKLINGS! I only know 1 or 2 modern archers who can draw in that range consistently and they aren't really that strong at other tasks. Meanwhile the people I know who are generally strong can span my bow a few times but not hold it without shaking and they aren't capable of drawing the historic draw weights.
I suspect that when you have about 800,000 men available (population of England in 1400 estimated to be about 2.5 million people) getting 5,000 archers that can draw strong bows is not a problem when your national policy reflects the need. That is a very specific kind of strength, and given the "train his grandfather" trope, I suspect that kids started on light bows and drew progressively heavier ones.
The human body is very good at repetitive exercise, and this is the sort of thing that should respond well to modern training methods – if we didn't care about skeletal deformation and out-of-balance musculo-skeletal development!
It seems the only way to draw and shoot bows in that poundage is to develop a special dedicated set of muscles (not just generally strong) and that set of dedicated muscles comes from a lifetime of bow training.
Yeah, this!
Which leaves us with: Historically the solution may be 'trained strength' even if that does not fit with game mechanics and game balance as easily… BUT you might consider access to certain regional/society/racial perks (Born Welsh or Raised in Mongolia)that could reduce that cost or provide a cumulative bonus if maintaining historical accuracy was very important to you.
Trained ST as it's given in Technical Grappling and to a lesser extend in The Last Gasp is a full-body strength that is basically the ability to apply leverage, force, and weight dynamically against a resisting opponent. That's why the +50% (ish) boost to ST requires you to get to DX+10 in order to leverage that.
Drawing a bow is not quite so dynamic. You don't have to worry about being picked up and thrown suddenly, or doing it on the move. You set up, plunk your arrows into the earth in front of you, and fire one every ten seconds (!) in a lather, rinse, repeat motion, in order to replicate battle tactics (not FRPG fighting!) as described at Agincourt, Crecy, and the like.
As such, the Technique-based logic that makes drawing a heavy bow a matter of fairly mild point expenditure makes sense to me. The ONLY thing it applies to is . . . drawing a heavy bow. Not lifting your friends to safety, climbing walls or a rope, wrestling, or swinging a sword. Nor does it impart hit points. So if all of that is 10 points per level, then the ability to pull a bow of a given power is going to be much less than that. If you can pull a bow but not even carry heavy weights (Lifting ST at 3/level) then at the lowest you're dealing with about 1/level (a -60% limitation on lifting ST) and at most you're talking 2/level (-60% on Striking ST).
I like the idea of cancelling skill penalties when drawing heavy bows rather than boosts to ST, though, since it preserves the maximum amount of the RAW and tends to avoid arguments about what else ST might be good for. It's good for one thing: cancelling penalties. This would include penalties to hold a bow at full draw, though – something that is touched on in The Deadly Spring when it comes to aiming a bow.
(This reminds me of a deleted scene in the movie Gladiator, where the Emporer is monologuing in front of a guy who he's going to execute, all the while his archers are behind him with shaking arms and full-drawn bows, looking really panicked about it.)

Claire Lorden is with me today to talk about a pizza loving lobster named Lorenzo. Why is Lorenzo so awesome you say? Because he loves pizza. You can't not like a creature that loves pizza (that's why people are so awesome). Claire is not only a lobster lover and pizza aficionado, but she's also a pretty great writer and illustrator as well!
Claire: It started when I was back in college and my boyfriend and I were at a gift shop that sells Rhode Island merchandise (we went to school in Rhode Island). My boyfriend noticed a cute lobster stuffed animal and said how much he liked it because it reminded him of a pet crawfish he had growing up.
When his birthday came around I decided to give him the stuffed animal lobster that he had admired months earlier. We chose the name "Rhodie" for the lobster stuffed animal because his backstory is that he is from Rhode Island. Somehow, one day when we were eating pizza we decided that Rhodie was Italian and loved pizza. It became a joke and I thought how ridiculous it was that a lobster loved pizza!
I thought this would make a great character in a children's book. After many revisions and many sketches later Lorenzo, the Pizza-Loving Lobster is an actual book!
Dani: Is there anything you learned in the creation of your book?
Claire: I learned many things while creating Lorenzo. One thing that stands out is how important it is to have a consistent color story throughout the book. Something that really helped was that I made a palette and colored all of my thumbnails before moving on to the final art. Also, it was a challenge having a red lobster and a green sea turtle be friends without the colors clashing too much. There were many color explorations until I found a color combination that really worked well. I'm happy with how it turned out.
Dani: How did your previous experience in illustration/design help you with entering the picture book industry?
Claire: I came from a really strong illustration background, which was definitely a plus when I started approaching picture books (My degree is in illustration). I already had experience telling stories through images and I just needed to learn how picture books work and what are the standards of the industry.
Claire: One illustration job I loved doing was creating wall murals for a school in Russia. I created images based on the local animals that live there. Seeing the final product of my images on the walls floor to ceiling is pretty incredible. Hopefully I will visit the school someday. Here is the project: http://www.clairelordon.com/kazan.html
Dani: Do you have any words of wisdom that people should keep in mind while working on their dummies?
Claire: Give yourself plenty of time for the thumbnail stage. Play around. Explore different angles and points of view. Play with pacing and spots vs. full bleed. Most of all have fun! It will show!

November 2007 Issue
Letters: 10/07
I think your comments about EFIS in the September 2007 issue (First Word, page 2) miss the point. The current EFIS design as replicated across many vendors products provides a consistent human/computer/airplane interface in much the same way that a six pack of steam gauges provided a consistent interface that allowed a pilot to go from one airplane to another without a lot of retraining. Right now, the pilots of light aircraft are in the process of retraining from steam to EFIS, so now we have to know how to fly two rather different systems of displaying the same information. If every vendor had a different representation of the data, then who knows how many systems we would have to learn? When mistakes can lead to safety issues, some degree of standardization is actually a good thing.

Suggestions run rampant that the Trump administration would cut federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This measure would have to be approved by Congress.
The CPB isn't just an incubator for high-quality educational programming. Rather, it's an important network providing the only source of broadcast information for many rural listeners.
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
Alternative Sources of Funding for Public Broadcasting Stations

Well the EV "cat" is out of the bag - with GM, Fiat, Ford etc all coming out with EVs. Besides, Nissan-Renault has essentially bet the farm on EV. They are spending billions in these hard times. I just don't see a 3% Daimler share changing that.
Infact, I'm not sure what Nissan-Renault is getting out of this deal. May be some access to dealerships for Infinity ? Daimler ofcource needs Nissan-Renault's small cars (atleast for CAFE etc) and batteries.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
People that know me and Match know we're a frugal couple. We don't mind spending money on some of the finer things in life, but we're very picky about where we spend our dollars. So stores like the Dollar General make our frugal hearts happy. They carry some off brands, but also well known name brands for 90% less than other stores. My favorite thing to shop for is their wrapping paper and decoration section. I can always find something I can use, or make into something great that looks a lot more expensive than what I actually paid for.
Now that there is a Dollar General in California I'm sure to keep within our budget and build our savings up even more. The store I lovr to frequent is in #1215 3015 West Capital Avenue West Sacramento, CA 95691. I love exploring the store for inexpensive treasures. There are all sorts of fun crafts that can be made from the random items they sell. I've connected with Dollar General Facebook and signed up for alerts to even more savings. There are even some Dollar General stores that have grocery shopping. With the price of groceries always increasing, I can definitely appreciate their low prices.
One thing I love about shopping at the Dollar General is that they support literacy. Obviously I'm a big fan of reading (if you didn't read you wouldn't be on this blog right?) so companies that support literacy are a hit with me. If you haven't checked them out, I think they are worth a second look. You'll be amazed at the great finds you can score there.

pictureDRIFT worked with production company ShotBox and advertising agency SOSS Creative to produce two animated commercials for QBE.
This aim of the commercials was to communicate the immense expertise of QBE through an exploration of vast and complex commercial ventures across the globe made possible by QBE's unique services. The commercial then shifts focus to the local, inviting the viewer to imagine the possibilities this global expertise can provide for them personally and their home and car insurance needs.
Our treatment involved creating a continuous fluid and free moving camera, which navigates through epic, expansive three dimensional scenes "frozen" at the point of action. Each scene was built from a mix of stock and commissioned photography which was camera projected onto 3d geometry, creating vast three dimensional spaces frozen in time for the camera to navigate.

As women, our bond with our mother is probably one of the more power relationships that we may ever form. Whether we realise it or not, this relationship sets the stage for all the other relationships that we will have. Or so is the view of Bronwyn McNutty, the author of the article from which the following excerpt has been taken.
For better or for worse, what does our relationship with our mother say about us? How has this relationship impacted upon the future relationships we form? No relationship is perfect or indeed easy. Drew Barrymore, Megan Ryan and Britney Spears have all had very public bust-ups with their own mothers. Yet that bond with the first person of our gender can have a much deeper and lasting impact on us than we may actually realise.

The relationship between a woman and her mother is so powerful, it affects everything from her health and self-esteem to all her other relationships, experts say. Dr Christiane Northrup, author of the book Mother-Daughter Wisdom (Hay House), says: "The mother-daughter relationship is the most powerful bond in the world, for better or for worse. It sets the stage for all other relationships."
Dr Northrup says that no other childhood experience is as compelling as a young girl's relationship with her mother. "Each of us takes in at a cellular level how our mother feels about being female, what she believes about her body, how she takes care of her health, and what she believes is possible in life."
Jennie Hannan, executive general manager of services at counselling provider Anglicare WA, agrees. "How a woman sees herself, how she is in her adult relationships with partners, and how she mothers her own children, is profoundly influenced by her relationship with her own mother," she says. But while most five-year-old girls love their mothers with an unshakeable conviction, it's often a different story by the time they reach adolescence. The once-adored woman who rarely put a foot wrong is suddenly always doing embarrassing things.
"The time you are going to start having major problems with your daughter will be around adolescence," Hannan says. "Adolescence is a very difficult, tumultuous time for children and their parents, and it tends to happen in girls earlier than in boys."
Fortunately this wild swing from closeness to remoteness usually only lasts until the daughter reaches adulthood. "If the mother and daughter can hang in there during adolescence, your relationship moves to a different level and becomes more of a respectful friendship," Hannan says.
"I think what triggers them coming back is they become independent ... they move away from home, get a job, do the adult things in life. There's a need to grow up and the relationship shifts."
The relationship will change again when the daughter has children. "There's a greater level of understanding of the sort of depth of responsibility that you have as a mother to that child." If you had a less-than-perfect relationship with your mother, it doesn't necessarily follow that you won't have a good relationship with your own daughter, Hannan says.
"It gives you a head start if you had a good relationship with your mother, but lots of women who have had bad relationships with their mothers have had really positive relationships with other women in their lives.
"The idea that you can have a perfect relationship with anybody is flawed. Mothers do get blamed an awful lot if something's wrong with their kids. But being aware of things that were good and not good in your relationship with your mum is really important in not repeating any mistakes."
For most, the mother-daughter relationship is ultimately fulfilling. Despite conflicts and complicated emotions, 80 to 90 per cent of women at midlife reported a good relationship with their mother, a Pennsylvania State University study found.
"The relationship between mothers and their adult daughters is one in which the participants handle being upset with one another better than in any other relationship," says researcher Karen Fingerman, author of Aging Mothers And Their Adult Daughters: A Study In Mixed Emotions (Springer). "There is value in the mother-daughter tie because the two parties care for one another and share a strong investment in the family as a whole."

I noticed that the gremlins can't climb but there are some on cliffs and a pack in a cave that sinks in the ground a little.
- the Gremlins should be able to climb and jump on to railings ( if thats not difficult to code in.)
- the gremlins should be able to throw pebbles or chunks of scrap metal if they can reach you.
Also the Drones can hover but they can't go up any higher.
- the drones should be able to hover higher but not to high because more energy is required for more upward thrust (depending on what fuel/energy is used like oil, electricity, ect it would cause strain on the engine causing it to malfunction.)
I think i found all the armor in the demo but i dont have any gloves. The character has what looks like a bracelet on his right arm and a cool futuristic apple watch on his left arm but no gloves.
I found out i could climb almost 90% angles which i thought was funny in a way like I'm more capable of naturally surviving on 2020 Earth with my ripped muscles and superior upper body strength than the gremlins XD

Yesterday, I talked about fear. I told you about my fear of flying, my epiphany while watching a trailer for a Will Smith movie, and my understanding that abortion-minded women too often act out of fear.
I told you that, while I have never been an abortion-minded pregnant woman, I have been ruled by fear, and I have witnessed firsthand its destructive power.
Now I'm gonna do that thing where I tell you something intensely personal about myself. It's gonna make me feel vulnerable and bad for a while. But every time I do this, it seems like I help a lot of people, and I feel led to keep doing it. I think it's worth the horrifying naked-in-the-high-school-hallway feeling I get when I share intensely personal things about myself.
Everything I am about to tell you, dear readers, only about three people know as I write this.
I used to have this thing called panic disorder. Panic disorder is like this: you're sitting at a computer or driving a car or taking a shower, and all the sudden your heart starts pounding and palpitating, you can't breathe, and you go, "Um, what?" And you're pretty sure, based on what you're feeling, that you're having a heart attack and/or definitely going to die.
There's an adrenaline surge. Your heart is racing. Your mouth is dry. You're dizzy. Your vision blurs. You have a fight-or-flight response. There is nothing to fight, so you fly. You get in your car and drive 80 miles per hour to somewhere you think is safe.
I had my first panic attack when I was 23 years old, sitting at my desk at work, minding my own business, not thinking about dying. I drove at dangerous speeds to my mother's house, where she tried to tell me I wasn't dying. It got worse. Waves of horrifying, terrible numbness started in my chest and flowed throughout my body. She took me to the hospital. They said: "Oh my God, you're dying."
Just kidding. They said: "You're fine. Go home."
People think panic attacks start because you're freaking out about something. They don't. The physical symptoms come first.
After a while, you become so convinced there is something physically wrong with you that you think the next time you really will die. You go to the ER several times. The doctors keep telling you you're fine. In between panic attacks, you think, "That could not have just been my mind. There has to be something physically wrong with me."
So you become excruciatingly aware of every minute feeling in your body. Everything you feel could be the beginning of the blood clot, stroke, heart attack, or whatever, that will kill you. This is called anxiety sensitivity, and this is what I live with now.
In some ways it's better than the panic disorder. In other ways, it's worse. It's death by a thousand cuts. It wears out your energy and your will over time. Just getting through the day can be a struggle. Some days are worse than others. Some days you almost panic, even. But some days are pretty good. Some days you feel almost normal. Almost.
I know what you're thinking: "Get thee to a pharmacy." Doctors have offered me prescriptions, but I'm not really into pills. I've seen too many cases where the cure is worse than the disorder, and besides: I want to address the source of the problem. And I'm working on it.
Anxiety disorders are a funny thing. They're different for everyone. Some people, you can tell they're having a meltdown. But you could sit next to me all day and never know what was going on inside me.
Another weird quirk of mine is that real, external anxieties are a piece of cake for me: if someone starts freaking out and screaming, or a fight breaks out nearby, or whatever, I'm the calmest person in the room. I'm so busy with my own imaginary crises that the real ones are a walk in the park. In fact, they're kind of refreshing.
There are millions and millions of people who have what I have. I'm not as uniquely wacko as you might think. A lot of people with anxiety or panic disorder end up agoraphobic. They feel "safe" in their home, and after a while they are loath to leave it. I understand this tendency. If I let it, it could happen to me. But I won't let it.
I will leave the house, I will get on the plane, I will go out into the world. It's hard. Sometimes it's really hard. But I refuse to make any decision based on fear.
Fear is imaginary. I am living proof.
When I hear abortion advocates talk about the fear a woman is feeling, I simultaneously empathize with her and feel utterly certain that her fear is no reason to encourage her to abort.
When we are afraid, reality is distorted. We don't see things as they really are, and we make terrible decisions. There is no way to know how many young women abort their children based on fear, but I would guess it is a large percentage – maybe even the majority.
Just like I am probably not going to have a stroke later today, the frightened abortion-minded young woman's parents are probably not going to actually kill her if they find out she is pregnant. Her life is not really going to be over if she has a baby. Her career path will not be impossible.
This is not to say nothing bad will happen. Maybe her boyfriend will leave her. Maybe she won't be able to hang out with her friends as much. And she most definitely will gain weight.
But in this – as in almost everything – the fear is worse than the reality. As pro-life advocates, when we talk to abortion-minded women, we need to help them see the situation from outside their fear.
Fear has a biological purpose to keep us from danger. It is there so that we run from the hungry lion instead of trying to hang out with it, and that's a good thing. But beyond that, it is destructive. Danger is real, but fear is a choice. We can recognize danger without letting fear limit us and prompt us to make bad decisions.
The abortion-minded woman should not be told her baby will come out riding a tiny magical unicorn and waving a rainbow wand that will make all her problems go away. Babies are work. Children are work. Her life will be more difficult, more complicated, and less self-centered. But it will also be full of joy, possibility, and love.
It is incredibly telling to me, as someone who battles the dark, destructive side of fear every day, that the people who claim to battle for "choice" also encourage women to act out of fear. Let me tell you this: whatever decision you're about to make, if your primary motive is fear, it's probably the wrong decision. Fear distorts, paralyzes, and controls. The anti-lifers use fear to encourage the decision they want. They nurture a woman's fear, fanning its flames, encouraging her to act based on a destructive emotion.
It is our job, then, to show her the reality beyond her fear. It is up to us to clear away the fractured, mirror-maze image of her future she is seeing. That is fear, not reality. It's not an easy task, but it's up to us to guide her out of the darkness of fear and towards the light of a life-affirming decision based on morality, reason, and hope.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card from NVIDIA Quadro K2000 to a Quadro P2000 or a NVIDIA Quadro P4000. I looked up the spec sheet on the Z420 and said it can handle the Quadro 4000 and the K4000, but nothing about the P4000. My guess is because the card didn't exist when the spec sheet was created... so that's why it's not there. I am concerned about the power supply and if the computer can fully handle it.
Also, what are your throughts about the the P2000 vs K4000? I take it there will be a noticible difference with Avid and the two cards; or will there be? I generally want to upgrade the workflow working within Avid and BCC effects... don't like the waiting; just wondering if the K4000 is worth the extra money.
HP Z420 Workstation | Intel Xeon CPU E5-1620 @ 3.60 GHZ 3.60 GHz | 32 Gigs of RAM | NVIDIA® Quadro® K2000 | Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit | Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro 4K | Samsung SSD 840 SCSI HDD | CalDigit VR2 6 TB Media Drive
i'd go for gtx 1070.
find a model with only one fan, those blows heat out of the chassis.
the world is out of gpus though, because cryptomining.
check the wattage of your PSU, if it's over 550W you're good to go.
Z420 config guidline http://resources.avid.com/supportfiles/config_guides/AVIDHPZ420ConfigguideRevD.pdf last update Aug. '14. P series Quadro didn't exist at the time.
Quadro 4000 is ~8 years old. They run really hot. Consequently, the fan runs really loud. Distractingly so. I still have one on the shelf. Replaced it with K4200. Not silent but adequately quiet.
Quadro through k4200 are PCIe2 cards if you've an old mobo. K5000 & newer/more powerful cards are all PCIe3.
GeForce cards are significicantly less expensive than comparable Quadro cards. One is presumably better served by GeForce unless some software used (e.g. Mistika) specifies it uses a Quadro only feature.
Avid specified Quadro once upon a time but not for a while. MC does not rely heavily on GPU processing. Not sure about BCC. DaVinci Resolve yes.
BitCoin bubble has driven up GPU prices. Suggest waiting for bubble burst unless you need new GPU today.
Hope this helps,
P2000 works excellent with MC.

The GTX 1070 is not worth it based on the current z workstation I own. Last year I tried with a 1080 and the power consumption became a serious issue. Plus Avid and Adobe After effects had problems seeing the CUDA cores to take advantage of the rendering capabilities... It was so much of a nightmare I just returned it. I just want to plug a new video card and go.
You are a big fan of the P2000? I'll jump from 2 to 5 GB of GDDR5 ram. That should show a serious change. I'm just still on the fence if it's worth jumping to the P4000. At this point, I'm really not interested in spending more than the P4000.
If the heat and sound is an issue on the P4000, maybe I'll consider the P2000. It gets a great rating for it's price and speed compared the others out there.
George Angeludis:
P2000 works excellent with MC.
Heat and sound is an issue on the quadro 4000 (no letter) mentioned in the old z420 config KB article. P4000 is ~4 generations newer.
M2000 with 4GB ram working with no issues
P4000 working fine on Z840
Using the P2000 with MC - no problems.
M4000 with 8gb works great for me.
I've decided to go with the P2000. It's designed for the workstation and it gives me the boost I need to speed up my editing process/rendering without dropping over the $1000 pricepoint. Thanks for everyone's feedback and help.
