AMD FX-8350 and FX-6300 Processor Review: Vishera Breaks Cover
Results: WME 64 and Euler3D
This multi-thread aware encoder is getting a bit old now, and will likely be replaced by a newer application which supports the latest QuickSync and GPGPU/OpenCL enabled processors. Until I finish working out the kinks with the new application, we go with the old. I take a 250 MB 1080P file and transcode it to 47 MB 480P.
I was unable to get working numbers for the 8150, but we can again look at the 6300 and 6200 for a frame of reference. The 6300 is six seconds faster than the faster clocked 6200 in this particular benchmark.
This benchmark uses a subset of a professional simulation which models airflow over an airfoil. It is compiled to take advantage of SSE instructions on Intel processors, but otherwise uses x86 floating point instructions for any non-Intel processor. Or at least we thought it did.
We see a much bigger jump in performance with Vishera than we would expect. For some reason Euler3D really likes Vishera vs. the older Phenom II and Zambezi. We saw this behavior with the earlier Trinity review. That being said, Intel still owns this particular benchmark. We would expect the 8350 with 8 threads to actually beat the i5 3570K at its max 4 threads. So even though the deck is somewhat stacked against AMD in this particular benchmark, the new processors make a decent showing.
" While Zambezi was not exactly stillborn, it was more than a tad under-cooked" Haha, oh Josh, I love your analogies.
Overall it was as expected, which is a shame because I never expected much from this. I don't think it's a big enough improvement for me to switch up from my zambezi but may pull some new people in with that price point.. Afterall, it's what AMD need if they want to have a financially viable business.
"Copious amounts of dust helps to simulate real world conditions."
LOL Josh is the best hardware reviewest on the interwebz.
No Cinebench R11.59 single core results? Move my 1100T up to 4 ghz just like the FX-8350 and it beats it in most situations easily. It's been two years and AMD can't even supply me with a worthy upgrade. Another year...... another dud.... sigh
Move that 8350 up to 4.4 or 4.6 and then take another look. Can't overclock one without the other. Add in some NB/L3 overclocking and the processor really perks up. Remember, these results were all stock clocks.
Their lack of performance gains is frustrating. Not trying to put a downer on your article but I've been AMD for a long time now and I'm tired of making excuses for them.... aren't you?
I think my conclusion holds up well. This is essentially a part that should have been released last year. Only now do they have a competent next gen part that competes with what Intel has at that price range. I do miss the days of competition where AMD had the original K7 and K8. So, they have a good part that has finally reached market and will attract some buyers. It doesn't beat up the competition in any meaningful way, but it is a good step forward for the company. Hopefully Steamroller continues this trend.
With the money trouble that their in, Piledriver is not going to be the shot in the arm that they need. AMD could go away by Steamroller's arrival.
Well, their financial situation is much more stable now and they actually have some money in the bank. They will get through Steamroller, but beyond that is a big crap shoot. While their ex-CFO did leave them in good financial shape, we have to wonder how much he undermined the foundation of the company with his policies.
Not to argue your point but AMD just announced quarter 3 results of a $157 million loss and well as hundreds of layoffs for employees planned. I wouldn't exactly call anything about that as "stable".
Well, they consolidated debt, built up cash reserves, and paid down a lot of stuff all the while renegotiating contracts to be less financially binding. They are in a better overall shape now then they have in years, and while this past quarter was a big negative... they are still ahead of where they were 2 years ago by a long shot.
1100T's limit is 4Ghz
8350's limit is 4.9-5Ghz
Let's compare them now.
And a 1100T at 4Ghz doesn't win in all scenarios against a 8350 a 4Ghz.
That's some fast "DDR-2" on the test page : P
Must have cost you an arm and a leg.
Haha, you should see the hammer I had to use to get those damn DDR-2 modules to fit into the motherboard I used!
Thanks for the head's up... fixed.
Lets see how it does at 5GHZ and nice NB speed....
I'm requesting one of their LCS and will attempt to get there.
Perfect timing, i'm building a new rig and getting ready to purchase the mobo and CPU next month. I've been using AMD CPUs since 1994. I'll probably go with the 6300 and then upgrade further when they get around to releasing a new chipset, I also prefer sticking with the lower wattage parts.
Great Article as always Josh!
Its refreshing to see AMD with a competing part.
Unless i was reading wrong, it looks like they finally surpassed the X6. About damn time, way to go.
Geeze that i7 is freakin fast though.
Although it would be nice to see this vs an i5 to get a better idea of performance.
I am really happy for AMD.
Next CPU better have the 3.0s on the Mobo though. I want to see comparisons of Intels USB 3.0 and PCIE 3.0 vs AMDs
I am finally starting to understand where AMD is going with this architecture. I am really looking forward to seeing where they will go with this later on down the road.
It's funny because i always want AMD to make some big comeback, we need to keep that competition stiff with Intel so they don't get lazy.
I was thinking in my head - this FX6300 is priced low and games fine, maybe i'll try it in my next build.
Then i remembered i5-2500k is only $159.99 @ microcenter....why the heck would i even use an FX6300? The i5-2500k will still be faster, overclock higher, and do all of this while using less power and putting out less heat.
Cmon AMD!!! Step it up!
the i5 2500k doesn't cost 159$
stop lying.
I'm going on my 8th gaming rig and I'm sticking with AMD. Intel cpu's dont't hold up as good is AMD. With out over clocking i had a FX 6200 walk all over a Intel I7 2700k. and then replaced it with my friends I7 3770k and no diffrents at all. same boards, same ram, same SSD size and brand. Even same MSI GTX 580 video card. So don't beleave every thing you read. Most people are not testing cpu's right OR they are being pay to talk down AMD. I have been working on computers long enuff to know whats up.
What a crock of shit! walk all over a 2700k! Blah Blah Blah.
there only just keeping up with the i5, are they not!. Would you be on you 8th gaming rig this year cos you keep blowing them up as you don`t have a clue what your doing?
Hi, Neat post. There is an issue with your web site in web explorer,
might test this? IE nonetheless is the market leader
and a large component to folks will miss your fantastic writing due to this problem.
Here is my web-site :: vietnamairlines
FX 6300 "walk all over" a 2700k!!?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA\\
KOoL sToRy BrO!!!!!
I especially like the part where you swapped out AMD processors and Intel Processors "Using all the same motherboard and Ram"....Which is impossible
Time to get real here
Josh, did you bench at min rez for comparison? I would like to see it vs an i7 would be cool.
Could there be multi gpu tests in a seperate review, with hd 7870 and 7970, maybe even 7770 series performance level cards? To see at what point FX Vishera crossfire or sli is adequate. Games with old and new engines could be differentiated...
Might take a while to do it (to-do list is rather long these days), but I think this would be an interesting aspect to test.
Let's see an Interlagos 16-core version of this part. AMD is behind at single-threaded performance so they should emphasize their strength which is multiprocessing.
Also let's see a dual-CPU capable version of Vishera, and some cheap desktop motherboards with dual sockets. Multi-threading is here to stay.
Cheap dual socket opteron boards are not available. Our best price for dual socket is about $500-$600. Single socket 16 core may be interesting in some tests though.
How much is it going to cost me to stick 16 cores worth of piledriver on one motherboard?
Please if possible do another round of benchmarking with the 8350 at 4.8GHz, and the 1100T at 4GHz
Almost every review I have seen so far, shows the 8350 hitting 4.8GHz before the heat overpowers what most heatsinks can handle.
The average overclock for the 1100T is 4GHz (though some users are able to hit 4.4GHz on liquid cooling)
anyway, most of the people who are reading this article are most likely overclocking their CPU. If I build my own system targeted at performance, I am going to overclock.
The newer FX chips run at a significantly higher clock speed and even at those high clock speeds, struggles to beat the 3.3GHz 1100t.
For the users overclocking their Phenom II x6's to 4GHz, how viable will the 8350 be when overclocked to 4.8GHz as compared to the 1100t?
Remember, the Phenom II has a higher IPC so a 700MHz overclock will do a lot more for it than an extra 800MHz will do for the 8350.
The 8350 beats the 1100T in every scenario just fine and the difference is more than obvious.
The 8350 is AMD's fastest cpu in everything by a good margin.
Thanks for the indepth article Josh. Just one minor correction. In the Test Setup section on the third page, the third sentence reads:
"In the meantime we have seen Intel release their Ivy Bridge lineup, as well as the Ivy Bridge E series."
I'm assuming this should read "Sandy Bridge E" instead of Ivy E, unless you guys at PCPer have access to some shiny newness that you're not telling us about ;)
Otherwise, a good read.
Ack, yes... I meant SB-E. I almost wish that socket would just die...
It would be interesting to see how much power spike happened on the 8350 when it was clocked to 4.6ghz. Since its only 400mhz overclock but AMD cpu's lately have been know to chew power up on mild overclock's.
I went from amd sempron to amd phenom then to 2x xeons loved it now im with i7 3770k 4.9Ghz im never going back to amd!
8 Cores, TDP @ 95w, stock speed 4.0ghz/4.6ghz turbo, running cool on air, under $200.00 then we're talking... until then I see no reason to purchase. Step in the right direction however..dont give up AMD!
You guys do know both the PS3 and XBox720 will be using AMD APUs. AMD is not going anywhere.
But these dont seem very competive aginst Ryzen

Norwich man charged with murder in death of Darius Bishop
Bozrah — State police charged a Norwich man Monday with the gunshot murder of Darius Bishop, who was found dead in a Bozrah baseball field three months ago.
Dequan McKethan, 34, of 61 Summit St. was charged with murder and held on a $1 million bond pending his arraignment.
Bishop, 28, a former Norwich resident, was found dead Sept. 25. He died from an apparent single gunshot wound to the head, police said.
McKethan, who police said was already in jail on other charges, was arrested Monday morning and processed by the Eastern District Major Crime Squad at Norwich Superior Court. On Friday, the crime squad had applied for McKethan's arrest warrant charging him with Bishop's death.
Bishop's body was found at Ray Hayward Memorial Field on Route 163 in Bozrah. The state medical examiner ruled the death a homicide as a result of a gunshot wound.
Two days later, Norwich police arrested McKethan, on motor vehicle charges and seized a .22-caliber semiautomatic handgun, a clear plastic bag of cocaine and a marijuana cigar. Bishop had been killed with the same caliber handgun, police said.
When he was arrested, police said McKethan was found sitting in his car less than 300 feet from where Bishop's car was found on Bills Avenue.
Police did not charge him in connection with Bishop's death at that time, but at his arraignment on the motor vehicle, drug and weapon charges Judge Kevin P. McMahon set his bond at $500,000. McKethan was unable to post that bond despite efforts by his attorney to lower it.
Bishop, who lived at 27 Greene Ave., worked two jobs: delivering food during the day and working in distribution for a furniture outlet at night, according to a neighbor.

Star-Banner readers share their thoughts regarding Social Security, gun control, Dan Kuhn and more.
Dysfunctional, part II
While I agree that Congress is responsible for "robbing" the Social Security Trust Fund and has recently been very dysfunctional, a great deal of what the writer of "Dysfunctional" (Jan. 26) says in her letter is just not true. Since 1984, members of Congress have paid into Social Security.
The 27th Amendment to the Constitution (passed in 1992) says that Congress may not vote themselves a pay increase. No pay raise passed may take effect until the next duly elected Congress is installed. In addition, members of Congress get as a pension an amount that varies based of years of service and is NOT equal to their salary for life!
As to the gun control problem, I agree completely with the writer. However, the writer of "Simple gun control" said it best in his letter Sunday. He calls for the registration of all weapons, like cars, with fees/taxes charged based on size and capabilities. Then require medical tests, as with airplane pilots. These security clearance checks will generate fees that can be used to pay for all security-related expenses.
I would add to that only that Congress must do something to force the states to enforce all existing gun laws to their fullest extent. No criminal or mentally ill person should be able to get his or her hands on any gun.

Headaches to come
I would like to address Leo Smith's guest column ("Exposing Kuhn saved us bigger headaches," Jan. 27) on how exposing Dan Kuhn saved us bigger headaches. It seems to me that Smith is a very biased person and had a case of sour grapes about Sheriff Dean grooming his replacement.
Not for one minute do I believe Smith was ever going to vote for Mr. Kuhn. He said Kuhn did this to himself. Not Melissa Cook or Chris Blair or anyone else. He cheated, lied, betrayed his family, blah, blah, blah.
Who cares who he had relationships with? Does cheating mean you aren't qualified to run a business? I do not think so.
John F. Kennedy could not keep his pants up and he ran this country. Bill Clinton did the same thing, and they tried to impeach him over his infidelity and he won.
The bigger headache is yet to happen. Everything Sheriff Dean accomplished is about to go down the can. Rehiring all these retired-with-pension good ol' boys is idiotic. Why aren't people complaining about all the double-dipping going on here. Retired and collecting what they each got for retirement. What is wrong with this picture?
Let's watch the Sheriff's Office go to hell in a hand basket. It is not over, because it has only just begun. We are going to be the laughingstock of Florida with the can of worms that was opened.
I am disgusted with Mr. Blair and his cronies. You did not win honestly, so you went down and dirty. Karma is calling your name and I am sure she will tap you on the back.
Sandra St. Denis
Chicago shoots itself
Once again the city of Chicago has led the way in showing the futility of banning guns.
Chicago has the tightest gun control laws in the nation, to the point that the only guns on the street are in the hands of gang members and other criminals.
Now they have had eight persons killed in one day by gunfire, which now totals several hundred over the past year.
How many young people have to die in Chicago before the homunculus that is the mayor and his cohorts stop promoting their personal agenda and finally admit that what they are doing is not working. Trained citizens should have the ability to defend themselves, but stifling local laws have made them public victims.
Dell Brown
Giving away America
Am I the only person in the United States who is outraged by our president sending planes, tanks, arms and aid to Egypt? Does he really think he is going to be the global leader?
We are arming the enemy all over the Middle East. The weapons that killed the latest Americans over there were from Libya and we pump billions of dollars into that country.
What about us? We should cut all foreign aid until we get on solid economic ground again. And then give aid only to friendly countries.
Has all this aid made these countries like us any better? It seems like we pay to arm them and disarm our own citizens.
Once again, Americans, wake up. Your country is being given away right under your own noses. This will be his legacy.
Pat Lee
Armed and alive
Thank God Nikki McNeil had a gun, not a weapon of mass destruction, but a gun. Job well done.
Patty Q. Slupe
Gun choices
After reading the article in Sunday's Ocala Star-Banner from The Associated Press, "Democrats stand in way of gun measures," I have to wonder if they are biased. The very last paragraph reads, and I quote:
"Democrats, especially those from gun-rights states, will be weighing whether to side with the NRA or follow the president, or how best to split the difference."
Why is it that the choice is between NRA and the president, and not their constituents or the Constitution and the president? The NRA has over 4 million Americans that are members. Its membership is growing by the thousands every week. Why is that? Oh yeah, it's because we want to hang on to our guns and our religion.

Former champion reclaims lead in Iditarod
Mar. 12, 2013
NOME, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's famous 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race has come down to a furiously contested sprint among veterans, with one seasoned musher grabbing the lead from another Monday and several others within striking distance.
By evening, 2004 Iditarod winner Mitch Seavey was ahead of four-time champion Jeff King and last year's runner-up Aliy Zirkle, as he reached the checkpoint at Elim, 123 miles from the finish line in Nome, a frontier town on Alaska's wind-pummeled coast.
Others were closing in, including Ray Redington Jr., the grandson of race co-founder Joe Redington Sr. Nome favorite Aaron Burmeister was fifth behind Redington as he raced toward his hometown.
If he were to win the Iditarod, one local official said, it could be pandemonium. The "place would come unglued," said Richard Beneville, the vice president of the Nome Chamber of Commerce.
Even though Seavey's son, Dallas Seavey, won after beating Zirkle by an hour last year, leaders in this year's Iditarod have been leapfrogging each other. That led race spokeswoman Erin McLarnon to call this year's race of the tightest in years.
Front-runners began traveling north along the frozen Bering Sea Coast on Sunday as they jockeyed for the front of the line.
King snatched the lead earlier Monday from Seavey, leaving the Koyuk checkpoint first.
King left Koyuk just six minutes after arriving, then camped out for a while 8 miles from the checkpoint. His team began moving again late morning.
"You must be having fun," a local said in an Iditarod.com video as the 57-year-old veteran prepared to leave Koyuk.
"Does it show?" King said.
Seavey fed his team as King headed out.
Seavey had been leading since Sunday and beat King to Koyuk by 34 minutes. The 53-year-old musher rested his team then left three hours and two minutes after King.
"Only one thing to do," Seavey said in an Iditarod.com video. "I can't make speed without resting."
The race began March 2 with 66 teams at a ceremonial start in Anchorage. The competitive start began the following day in Willow and has since changed leaders several times. Those at the front of the field included four-time champions Lance Mackey and Martin Buser, who were running in 16th and 17th place, respectively, on Monday.
Mushers have taken mandatory 24-hour and 8-hour layovers. They also must take a second eight-hour layover at the checkpoint at White Mountain, 77 miles from Nome.
Five mushers have scratched. A sixth, Canadian Gerry Willomitzer, was withdrawn Sunday after losing a dog that was later found.
The first musher to reach Nome will win $50,400 and a new 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck. The rest of the $600,000 purse will be split among the next 29 mushers to cross the finish line.
As teams push toward Nome, the town of 3,700 was bustling with anticipation.
Volunteers in the old gold rush town erected the famed burled arch on Front Street, a block off the sea, on Sunday. Monday morning, volunteers put up the finish banner that hangs above the arch.
Inside the city's small convention center, which doubles as race headquarters, banners with each musher's name were being hung from the rafters by volunteers working with Alaska Missions including Shannon Scoggins, 22, of Stephenville, Texas.
Her group will spend the rest of the week caring for the canine participants at dog lots on the outskirts of town.
"It'll be a once-in-a-lifetime chance," she said. "We're excited about that."
In Nome, McLarnon said the race was shaping up to have an exciting finish with so many front-runners clustered together.
But will it match the 1978 mad dash down Front Street that left Dick Mackey as the winner with one second to spare over Rick Swenson, who went on to become the Iditarod's only five-time champion?
"You know, it very well could be" McLarnon said. "The way the things are looking right now, it could be one of those close ones."
Race watchers are predicting a Tuesday afternoon finish in Nome, but off any record-setting pace. McLarnon said it usually takes mushers about 18 hours to reach Front Street after they hit White Mountain, a checkpoint 77 miles from the finish and where they have to take a mandatory eight-hour layover.
"In that last 77 miles, anything can happen," McLarnon said.

Hey Curious, not to rain on your parade here, this is the eponymous
Frank's Friendly Cars Maui Car Rental
. The main reason I'm posting is to exploit this frenzy that you've been whipping up for rental cars on Maui. I couldn't have asked for a better excuse to post and let everyone know that my company is already doing [almost] everything that everyone on this thread is asking for! We've got cheap reliable cars (four-doors with fold-down seats, station wagons and minivans) with a/c (that you can leave off if you choose), roof racks (and tie-down straps), optional beach chairs and coolers, and airport pickup and drop-off with the key under the mat that everyone likes so much - as we tell our customers, all you need to do when you get here is hop in your car and drive off to do whatever you came here to do. The cars do have a few dings and dents, not too many, so no one has to feel embarrassed being seen in them, but just enough so they blend in with the local scenery, plus they have colorful aloha style seat covers and comfortable steering wheel covers.
We're a real company registered and licensed for car rental by the State of Hawaii. We've been in business more than two years and we've served hundreds of customers, so you know that when you rent from us you're going with a company with a proven track record. For newcomers to Maui, we've been known to give guided tours of the windsurfing beaches and other hot spots, including time on the water helping you with everything from bottom turns to flakas - of course you are more likely to get this if you look good in a bikini. As an extra bonus, many of our keychains come with the supermarket discount mini-card that will save you big bucks when you go shopping - they're left over from past customers so we don't even know who gets the bonus points. We're well connected in the windsurf community, you can ask about us at most of the windsurfing shops and sailing beaches. We even rent to kitesurfers, as long as they promise to behave, and we only charge them twice the going rate - just kidding.
I also want to put in a plug for Kimo's Rentacar, when I'm fully booked I refer my callers to him because I know he takes extra good care of his customers and has plenty of cars. The other windsurfing-friendly place to rent from is Sergio's Manaloha Rentacar up in Haiku, he's been in business forever and still chugging along.
Anyone who wants to contact us can find our website
Frank's Friendly Cars Maui Car Rental
, or
. We're listed in all kinds of search engines and directories, and we're even on Facebook - for the month of March we're offering a $5 discount to anyone who joins our Facebook fan page.
Be sure to call ahead when you're coming, even with twenty cars we're 100% booked about thirty days out usually - the reason is that we have the best rental cars for the money on this little rock in the middle of the Pacific, and we're deliberately keeping this thing small so that, among other things, every customer can feel they are one of the lucky few. And, people, regardless of who you choose to rent from, if you're coming for one of the peak seasons, be sure to book as far as you can in advance, as there is a serious shortage of rental cars on Maui during peak season.
Aloha, may all your bottom turns be tight, and all your top turns snappy, and if you think this is a blatantly commercial post, well, you're absolutely right.
PS> Curious, if you want some pointers on the do's and don'ts of the car rental business, feel free to contact me. I know another guy in my neighborhood just getting started with rental cars and he has a little white automatic station wagon that sounds just like yours, if I were you I would try to team up with that guy, maybe you two can have some sort of synergy, what with the matching cars that could be the start of a fleet, plus he's a great mechanic too.

Al West's/Aloha-fits the bill just fine; If you don't know them, you should research them before you do too much work on launching a new car rental biz in Maui. They do an awesome job serving the "rent-a-dent" market in Maui.- CCB

Rent-a-dent, or rent-a-wreck is the way to go if you don't have a wife or partner that wouldn't be cought in one.
Last time there, I rented a beater that ran perfectly, I wish I could remember the rental co., too much pakalolo I guess. Anyway it was a faded red Toyota Celica, with some dents. While cruzing up to Honolua Bay, (no wind, looking for good waves) I found some fuzzy dice, the kind for the rear view mirror, laying by the side of the road, all dirty. I brushed them off and hung them on the mirror. We had boards on top with soft racks, an oldish car, with dice hanging from the mirror, and we were getting waved at by others driving in the other direction, so we'd wave back,,,,,,, go figure. Musta been the dice, hell I don't know to this day, but it worked.
Got some decent waves at the bay also, with no hassels, the locals were checking out our car while pulling our boards off the top, dice and all.
Any moral to the story???
Maybe, look cheap, somewhat unkept, which we were, and you'll have a great time.

What: UT/TSU Extension Office of Hamilton County Master Gardener program
When: 6-9 p.m. Jan. 7 & 9 a.m.-noon Jan. 8; each class is limited to 30 students.
Cost: $160, which includes textbook and handout materials.
Information: Call the UT Extension Office at 855-6113 or go to www.mghc.org.
Garden Expo
The first "Master Your Garden" Garden Expo will be held at Camp Jordan Arena on April 20-21. Go to www.mghc.org for more information.
Gardening is good for you.
Not only do you reap the rewards by growing tasty vegetables or beautiful flowers, gardening is good for your health.
In a study conducted in Norway, people who were diagnosed with depression, persistent low mood or bipolar disorder spent six hours a week growing flowers and vegetables, according to a report on CNN. Three months into gardening, half the participants not only experienced a measurable improvement in their depression symptoms, their mood continued to be better three months after the gardening program ended, the report states.
And gardening offers other benefits that are good for everyone, not just you, says Tom Stebbins, UT/TSU extension agent for Hamilton County.
"More people are concerned about where their food is coming from," Stebbins says, and many gardeners share not only their crops, they share their skills, he says.
"More people are taking time to give back."
One way gardeners give back to their community is through the local Master Gardener program, a program that's offered once a year in Hamilton County. The 15-week course that gets under way in January typically is filled every year.
"Topics include soils, trees, perennials, vegetables, fruits, insects, lawn care and much more," says Stebbins. "Sessions are taught by about 20 different topic experts. Students get a huge Master Gardener manual, which they keep as a reference."
Stebbins says he has organized and taught Master Gardener classes in Michigan, Nashville and now teaches area residents as part of his responsibilities as the local extension agent. In the upcoming program, he will teach about insect and plant disease and pesticide safety.
In addition to learning about gardening, participants in the Master Gardening program become acquainted with like-minded people, Stebbins says.
Chattanoogan Michael Payne, who teaches the beginning and newcomer classes in the program, became a certified Master Gardener in 1994, the local program's first class.
"If you have a love for your environment and volunteering, then the Master Gardener program is for you," Payne says. "People enjoy growing their own vegetables, and a lot of new
gardeners like growing organic. Organic is fine, but it is the pesticides that I try to limit.
Also my big organic use is compost. Why put leaves, grass and other organic items into the landfill and then go buy bag compost when you can make it yourself?"
You don't have to be an expert to become a Master Gardener, Stebbins explains.
"The program is about connecting with other gardeners, with community and with reliable resources for information. Master Gardeners use trees, flowers and veggies to impact the lives of people in their communities."
The Master Gardener Association of Hamilton County is an active group with ongoing educational classes for graduates of the program, he says.
"Master Gardeners grow personally through the expansion of their communication, management and leadership skills," Stebbins says.
Continuing education is part of being a Master Gardener. Each year, Master Gardeners must take eight Continuing Education credits to stay up on current practices, Stebbins says, and they also must volunteer a minimum of 27 hours each year.
"After completion of the training program, individuals become Master Gardener interns. They are promoted to the title of Master Gardener upon completion of their 40-hour volunteer service commitment," Stebbins says.
The program is open to anyone interested in gardening, especially those with an added desire to give back to the community using the newly acquired knowledge, he says.
Payne says he "knew gardening" before taking the course, but he wanted to add the ability to teach.
"I have a passion for gardening and never feel like I am a Master Gardener due to the fact that I continue to learn," Payne says.
Stebbins, who has been a Master Gardener for nine years, says there are 3,000 active Master Gardeners in 46 counties in Tennessee, but they are active nationwide. In 2009, 94,865 Master Gardener volunteers contributed more than 5 million hours educating the public, running youth programs and helping food banks with deliveries of produce, he says, citing a 2009 survey," Stebbins says.
Presently, there are about 20 ongoing group projects involving Master Gardeners, Stebbins says.
"The Hamilton County Fair exhibit is the biggest effort where over 60 people help every year. Numerous Master Gardeners now are active with the Chattanooga Area Food Bank Demonstration Garden. They help in the greenhouse or in the raised-bed garden. Many give out gardening information at the Chattanooga Market."
Master Gardeners also assist organic vegetable gardeners at Crabtree Farms, Siskin Children's Institute Gardens, the Tennessee Aquarium, Habitat for Humanity, The Chattanooga Public Library and The Chattanooga Arboretum and Nature Center.

Skip to comments.Senate Republicans clash with Grover Norquist
Posted on 06/15/2011 9:15:36 AM PDT by Bigtom67
Several Senate Republicans are angry at anti-tax activist Grover Norquists position on a major ethanol vote, creating a rift between one of Washingtons most influential conservatives and a Republican Party that has marched largely in lock step with his campaign tax pledges over the years.
What Grover Norquist has just done is blown his pledge wide open, Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) told POLITICO.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Grover Norquist is a fly on something, I don't think it's "the Wall" however.
Grover Norquist is a fly on something, I don't think it's "the Wall" however.
Can anyone explain how cutting a subsidy is a tax increase?
ooops! Sorry for double post.
Watched Judge Napolatano on Fox last night. Ethanol was the topic. Mitch McConnell voted with the democrats in the senate and we lost by ONE vote. The judge stated it cost taxpayers 1.78 a gallon.
It sounds like a bunch of nonsense on both sides. Grover Norquist is not a reliable conservative, and neither are those senate RINOs who voted to keep the ethanol subsidies in place.
Removing ethanol subsidies is NOT a tax increase. If you take the damned ethanol out of gasoline, it will save everyone money. I have to take my weedwhackers and chain saws in to get fixed just about every year, or the damned things won't start. Ethanol rots out their insides. And the same with my outboard motor.
And I'm sure it increases expenses on keeping my car engine going, too. Plus reducing mileage and making the car cough going up hills.
good points.
ethanol is insane on sooo many levels.
i like Thune, but his math is plain wrong.
they say ethanol reduces our foreign dependence.
but, in the entire (Pop Deming) process,
it takes MORE than a gallon of gas, to make a gallon of ethanol, which produces less btu's than the original gallon of gas.
so, NET,
it INCREASES our foreign dependence,
and INCREASES the price of oil.
...and costs taxpayers over 6 billion a year, on top!
Good for Chambliss. The day that Grover Norquist ceases to be 'influential' in the GOP will be a very good day.
From CPAC, ACU and the NRA, Norquist/Keene are the enemy within, nefariously attempting to hi-jack the GOP platform to appeal to homosexuals, islamists and illegals.
Such a surprise that they are a part of the Romney team of political hacks.
FU Norquist!
I didnt realize he was this stupid. Surprised he didnt demand Republicans extend Obama's 'Making work pay' tax credit too.
I'll say it again: using food for fuel is immoral and is the most obvious example of what is wrong with our government.
If you tell a Senator to get in touch with Common Sense he will most likely refer you to the Foreign Relations Committee.
Ethanol subsidies bad, therefore repeal. But no, we can't do that.
Copyright restrictions also apply downthread.
Get out of politics and take Ralph Reed and the rest of College Republican irrelevant friends a slow boat to China...
>>>Can anyone explain how cutting a subsidy is a tax increase?
Congress has provided the motor fuel industry with a tax incentive for blending ethanol with gasoline in the form of 45 cents per gallon of ethanol tax credit known as the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit.
Why anyone has anything to do with this Muslim terrorist sympathizer is beyond me.
I don't view the termination of a selective subsidy to be a tax increase. Maybe for those affected, it is. But not to the taxpaying public at large. To me it's just a return to the normal status quo where they are now being taxed just the same as everyone else.
>>>I dont view the termination of a selective subsidy to be a tax increase.
Would you view the mortgage interest tax deduction in a similar way?
For me personally, no I wouldn't view it the same way. But that's the whole problem with our tax code; it's really nothing but a fight by special interests for preferential treatment. Your tax cuts should be eliminated but I'll fight if you want to cut mine. It's the flip side of the same coin when you talk about the spending portion of public finance. Whether the subsidy exists as the government not taking money in the form of revenue or handing out money in the form of some kind of "entitlement" is only a difference of nuance, not of substance.
In the end, fiscal decisions, both public and private, are not made on the basis of economic efficiency but rather on political connection and clout. And we wind up with a crazy distorted economy that is chasing away jobs and stifling productive innovative activity.
We need a streamlined tax code for everyone, a revenue generating system that is uniform and predictable, and designed only to obtain as much revenue as necessary to fulfill the core functions of government. Arguing over this deduction and that credit is an argument over re-arrangement of deck chairs.
Your logic leads to one inescapable conclusion:
Ethanol belongs in a beer can, not a gas tank. I think I have a new tag line.

PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Singing Serbian national songs and waving flags, more than 2,000 people welcomed convicted war criminal Momcilo Krajisnik home as a national hero on Friday evening.
He returned to Bosnia after being granted early release from a British prison where he had served two thirds of his 20-year sentence.
"It's like a dream. You have no idea how beautiful this country is," he told reporters.
But he also said he does not understand what this giant party was about. "After all, I am a war criminal," said 68-year-old Krajisnik.
He was arrested in 2000 and convicted by the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, of persecuting and forcibly expelling non-Serbs during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia. His initial 27-year sentence was reduced on appeal.
The former Bosnian Serb Parliament speaker was granted early release by the tribunal's president, Theodor Meron, in July.
Krajisnik first landed in the Bosnian Serb city of Banja Luka, and a government helicopter then flew him home to his wartime stronghold of Pale, near Sarajevo.
Supporters arrived by bus from all over the Bosnian Serb part of the country to welcome him, and convoys of cars cruised Pale streets all afternoon, with people waving Serb flags through windows, honking horns and stopping at the main square, where Serbian nationalists songs were blaring from loudspeakers.
Milorad Ugrinovic, 60, arrived from the northern town of Laktasi. "We gathered to show support for Mr. Krajisnik, who did not deserve to sit for so long in some jail. Instead he deserves the support of the entire Serb people because he sacrificed himself for the Serb people," said Ugrinovic.
Many Serbs refuse to realize or accept that their side committed most or even any of the war crimes during the Bosnian war, despite the findings of international courts. The fact that most of the war criminals convicted by the U.N. Tribunal are Serbs is interpreted as an international anti-Serb conspiracy, rather than a real picture of the distribution of guilt.
The welcome home party in Pale was organized by the Serb Democratic Party, which Krajisnik was member of. He was the closest ally of Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic who is now on trial at the Tribunal for alleged genocide and other crimes.
Bosnia is made up of Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats, and Krajisnik's sentence said he was part of a joint criminal enterprise that sought to ethnically reorganize the territories under the Bosnian Serb Republic's control by cutting the proportion of non-Serbs.
The decision to release him after he served two-thirds of his sentence contained a report from the U.K. prison authorities that said Krajisnik was a "model prisoner" who during his term learned English, took part in a Bible study group, and used the gym to keep fit. He told prison authorities he plans to work in Pale at a gas station owned by his children. In a letter Krajisnik wrote in March asking for early release, he said he stands "prepared to help seek reconciliation between the three peoples in Bosnia-Herzegovina."
Non-Serbs in Bosnia were outraged by Friday's pompous welcome party.
Hatidza Mehmedovic, a widow who lost family members during the Srebrenica massacre of Muslim men, said of the ceremony: "This encourages future blood spilling and some future genocide."
Muslim Bosnian politician Fahrudin Radoncic said he does not know what Krajisnik will be doing in the future, but he hopes "he will not get involved in politics and especially not the politics he used to pursue."

North American cities, including Cleveland, are getting a relatively low return on their greenhouse gas emissions as measured by their annual economic output, according to this story from TheAtlanticCities.com. The story is based on data from the Carbon Disclosure Project, which ranked regions of the world based on their annual economic output per ton of greenhouse gas emissions. Leading the way was Europe, where 24 cities measured in the study produced output of $12,502 per ton of emissions, according to the website. Latin America was next, at $6,816 per ton, followed by East Asia ($5,831) and North America ($5,550). North American cities that were part of the study were Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Montreal, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, Toronto and Vancouver. The Asian sample did not include any of China's megacities, "where economic growth and emissions are rapidly on the rise," according to TheAtlanticCities.com. "But it's a worthwhile comparison to note that North American cities are producing substantially less wealth per ton of carbon emissions than European cities are. Undoubtedly, this has as much to do with the particular form of sprawling, car-dependent U.S. cities as the kinds of economies they have." The website notes the full report "argues for how climate action can help make cities healthier and wealthier at the same time (as they save money on LED light bulbs, or expand bike lanes that also get people active)." It also demonstrates that "the goal can no longer be mere economic growth. Instead, it should be efficiency, a metric on which European cities are outclassing virtually everyone else."
It would be nice if we reaped more economic benefit from our carbon emissions
Bloomberg does a nice job exposing the ethical murkiness of the student-loan debt-relief business, in a story that begins with an anecdote from Polly Williams, a single mother in Cleveland who recently lost her job. Desperate to lower the payments on her $23,000 in student loans, she called "one of the many companies advertising debt relief online," according to Bloomberg. "For a $250 fee, the University of One, now known as Student Consulting Group Inc., offered to help," the news service reports. "To come up with the money, Williams skipped an electric bill and lost power, forcing her to throw out $150 of food in her refrigerator, she said." Ms. Williams "could have avoided the fee because the government offers borrower assistance programs entirely for free," according to Bloomberg. But Student Consulting Group is part of an industry that's "profiting from consumers' confusion and desperation, charging as much as $1,600 to sign them up for these repayment plans," the story says, citing a report from the Boston-based National Consumer Law Center, a nonprofit advocacy and research group. "It's disgusting, it really is," Ms. Williams, 54, who earns $26,000 a year as an executive assistant for a Cleveland nonprofit helping the terminally ill, tells Bloomberg. "I can only imagine how many other people they are taking advantage of." Such companies are proliferating because borrowers "are buckling under the weight of student loans, which now total $1 trillion, exceeding all other consumer debt aside from mortgages," the story notes. "Former students are also struggling to navigate the government's often complicated assistance programs." Student loans, according to Bloomberg, "are among the most onerous forms of debt because they can rarely be canceled through bankruptcy." For their part, the student-loan debt relief companies say they are comparable to organizations that help taxpayers file their returns — something customers could also do for free.
7.6 million and counting: Forbes.com updates billionaire Cavaliers owner/Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert's efforts to snap up property in Detroit, noting that last week's purchase of two buildings on Woodward Avenue near the Detroit River gives him control of 30 buildings there with 7.6 million square feet. "Gilbert, who repeatedly has expressed his belief in Detroit's potential, has snapped up some of that space for as little as $5 a square foot, rehabilitating a number of properties in the once-empty downtown corridor," according to Forbes.com. The two Woodward buildings have a combined 40,000 square feet of office and retail space. Mr. Gilbert "is expected to use the ground floors for retail space (one building currently houses a Thai restaurant) and the upper floors for office space," according to the website. That's entertainment: Cleveland Indians fans are getting a good value for their ticket dollars so far this year. MarketWatch.com reports that a new study from TicketCity, a Texas-based ticket reseller, ranks the Indians fifth out of the 30 major-league clubs when it comes to the "bang for your buck" fan factor. TicketCity bases its rankings "on a complex formula that factors in three key areas for each club at home: the median price for tickets on the resale market, the winning percentage, and the skill level of opponents," according to MarketWatch.com. (Essentially, a team that costs less, wins more and faces stiff competition generally ranks higher.) The Pittsburgh Pirates are on top of the rankings through Sunday, the result of their good home record in the strong National League Central division and a median resale price ($15) that's the lowest in the majors. Cleveland trails only the Pirates, the Detroit Tigers, the Washington National and the Arizona Diamondbacks in giving fans their money's worth at the ballpark.

The People Vs. Alex CrossBook - 2017

A very enjoyable Alex Cross novel but I do feel that there could have been more explanation with the whole Soneji cult episode.
Patterson's Alex Cross novels remain his best work. Cross is such an interesting, complex, and believable character and his cases are always unusual and challenging. His family and friends are integral parts of these stories and often add tremendously to the reader's enjoyment of the tale.
Keep the Cross books coming, Mr. Patterson. It will be interesting to see where Cross's career goes with his new career venture.
This is the next book in the Alex Cross series. Not my favorite of the series, but I still enjoyed reading it and look forward to seeing what happens to Alex Cross and his family next.
This bored me too much. I have only read like three other Alex Cross books so I was barely interested in all the side characters. You'll only appreciate this if you've been reading all the Alex Cross books and the entire series.
Happily, yet another Alex Cross novel was totally satisfying. I love all the family dynamics in this series; everyone is integral to the plot in one way or another. There is plenty of drama -- and all without extreme graphics so the imagination can fill in the blanks. I am aways looking for the next Alex Cross as soon as I turn the final page.
What't not to like about an Alex Cross story by James Patterson. Nothing! This one is a cut above though. Two great story lines going at once, leaving Cross frustrated and doubting himself and his future. And, as usual, lots of family engagement, though this time with one very interesting subplot that impacts one of the main story lines [notice no spoilers here]. There is cybercrime, courtroom drama, missing people, partnership issues, and at the end a surprising career move. Really a great read and so hard to put down, it will go fast. Wish Patterson would hurry and turn out the next great Alex Cross story. Enjoy.
I enjoyed this book and all Alex Cross books like to hear about this family and what they are envolved in at the time. Fast Read
A good read and glad to know that we actually have tech weens tuned into the dark side of the net. Glad to see the Soneji crowd put to rest and Alex taking on his new assignments. Wonder where old John Sampson and friends will wind up in the future??? Contract staff to the Cross Agency?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book especially the kidnapping of the blonds and the dark web.
I found the other plot a bit perplexing that it took a cyber wizard and Alex's son to figure out the halogen plot. How could a bunch of thugs have the intelligence to use this trickery? Patterson didn't explain that and the fact that the criminals were ready to put there life on the line knowing the guns weren't in there hands. Were they drugged too? Find there are missing ties but enjoyed the book anyway.

Security at NHMS: 'Safety of fans is absolute top priority'By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 21. 2013 1:01AM
In the wake of last Monday's terror attacks near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, officials at New England's largest sports venue are taking a second look at security policies and asking the question, "What if it happened here?"
What if a bomber with a backpack loaded with explosives decided to hit a major racing event in New Hampshire? Are the protocols and procedures in place adequate to handle such an event? And if not, would more aggressive security procedures relieve - or ratchet up - any safety concerns the public may have?
"We are working with various local, county, state and federal agencies along with NASCAR security in evaluating and refining our security measures," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. "Events such as the tragedy in Boston on Monday create heightened awareness and a thorough review of procedures for everyone hosting events nationwide."
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is the largest sports facility in New England. Located on approximately 1,200 acres in Loudon, the venue boasts a capacity of 105,491 spectators and a 1.6-mile road course.
NHMS hosts the only NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and Global RallyCross Championship events held in the six-state New England region.
Both NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races regularly sell out, and exceed the NFL Super Bowl in attendance.
Gappens said security procedures at the track have been reviewed in advance of this summer's NASCAR races. Gappens said ushers and security personnel regularly inspect coolers, bags and backpacks of race attendees.
"The safety of fans is the absolute top priority of New Hampshire Motor Speedway," said Gappens. "We already have a strict screening process in place.
"Every year as we approach the racing season, our security directors, who are former high-ranking state police officers, work with local, state and federal agencies along with NASCAR officials to review, analyze and update our security procedures to ensure the greatest level of safety possible for our fans.
"This tragedy weighs very heavy on all of our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who were injured and affected."
Gappens said because a NASCAR race and a marathon are two completely different kinds of events, held in different types of venues - an enclosed facility versus city streets - it's not fair to compare them in terms of vulnerability to threats like bombs in backpacks.
"Unlike 'open' events, such as last Monday's marathon, we have screeners at each gate that examine backpacks, coolers and any suspicious clothing," said Gappens. "Each guest is screened every time they enter the grandstand area. No one is just waved through.
"Ticket takers are also monitoring each entering guest. Uniformed officers are assigned to each entry point along with the screeners and ticket takers."
Gappens said the speedway has a command center onsite to utilize if an event does occur there.
"NHMS has a command center in which speedway officials, law enforcement, fire and EMT personnel and a number of other agencies work together to ensure guest safety," said Gappens. "The command center coordinates and monitors all calls for service. We instruct all NHMS employees to be vigilant for any suspicious, unattended packages or people acting out of the norm. Messages appear on the scoreboard asking guests to report any suspicious activities.
"We provide phone numbers and a texting number for reporting issues of concern. The NHMS security department stands ready to respond to any complaints and patrols the property 24 hours per day."
Gappens said there are surveillance cameras that monitor all areas of the speedway, that could provide important footage for investigators to analyze should an attack ever occur there, but would not say how many.
Longtime NASCAR fans contacted last week for this story said they have no intentions of skipping the New Hampshire 300 race this summer, in the wake of the Boston attacks.
"We love it," said Betty Gadomski of Kingston, Ontario, who has been coming to the races for over a decade. "It's the whole weekend, a great time. We wouldn't miss it, and I'm not worried about anything happening."
"You think about what happened, but you have to get out and live," said Don Shepard of Pelham, Mass. "We come every year, and we'll be there again."

Microsoft forms 'Special Projects' black ops team
'Disruptive technologies' tentacle to battle Google X?
Microsoft has secretly formed a "Special Projects" sub-tentacle of its Microsoft Research limb in an apparent attempt to out-black-ops Google X.
This sinister group is "tasked with working on disruptive technologies that could benefit the company and society". Although MS is remaining tight-lipped on when it was formed and who will be seated in the black leather swivel chair where they will stroke the white cat, ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley says Norman Whitaker, former deputy director of the Information Innovation Office at US military bonkers-boffinry bureau DARPA, will have control of the button which dispatches inadequate minions into the piranha pit.
Foley claims a recent job ad for the group's "Principal Member of Technical Staff" explained it would tackle "hard and interesting problems", specifically "in the areas of systems, networking, distributed computing, UX design, devices, cloud, mobility, machine learning/artifical intelligence, big data and datacenter technologies".
This information appears to have been removed, indicating MS is keen to keep things under wraps. This is in contrast with the flamboyant Google X, which is happy to let the world know it's working on self-driving robocars, internet-disseminating balloons and other astounding technologies.
Of course, that's the stuff we're aware of, and we look forward to seeing if it's MS or Google which is the first to complete its volcanic data centre/space launch lair, from which to deploy "disruptive" orbital diamond-encrusted laser weapons against its rival. ®
Reader Richard Bryant says MS is probably unaware of the significance of the acronym "SPG" on this side of The Pond.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican is playing down an Australian cardinal's comments that Pope Benedict XVI's decision to resign was "slightly destabilizing," saying cardinals are not media savvy.
Cardinal George Pell told Australian Broadcasting Corp. that the pope "was well aware that this was a break with tradition, slightly destabilizing." The comments were interpreted by the Italian media as unusual criticism of the pope.
But in the interview, Pell also seems at pains to defend the pope, saying: "He felt that because of his weakness and sickness ... that he just didn't have the strength to lead the church."
Spokesman the Rev. Thomas Rosica said it was unwise for the Vatican to comment on what cardinals say, and that journalists shouldn't take advantage of cardinals who, he said, aren't media savvy.

A Queer Eye on Vancouver Cuisine: The Food Gays
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Vancouver's restaurant scene has been described by The New York Times as "truly outstanding." Anthony Bourdain has lavished praise on the "high density of really good cooks and chefs," while USA Today has dubbed the city a "foodie's fantasyland."
Yet perhaps never before has Vancouver cuisine been explored from a perspective like this.
The Food Gays is a new and exceedingly popular local website created by "two fabulous gay men from beautiful Vancouver, who both love all kinds of food." Started just two months ago, the site offers a unique take on local restaurants and cafes, while also serving up new recipes and exploring the intersection of LGBT and foodie culture in Vancouver.
One recent post showed the guys sampling the city's emerging street food scene at the weekly Food Cart Fest at the historic Waldorf Hotel. Throughout the summer, vendors selling everything from wood-fired pizzas to gourmet perogies and freshly squeezed juices converge on the hotel parking lot for a celebration of street eats.
In their latest post, the Food Gays even get tips on eating right and staying fit from Vancouver's most famous transgender beauty queen, Jenna Talackova. Jenna jumped into the headlines earlier this year when she was disqualified from Miss Universe for not being a "naturally born" woman. She was later reinstated and finished in the Top 12.
For more lowdown on Vancouver cuisine and queer culture, check out the Food Gays website.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Joins Sin City 2, Rejects Godzilla and Guardians of the Galaxy
He's taking a role originally offered to Johnny Depp.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, recently eyed for the Godzilla remake and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, has said no to both, in favor of Robert Rodriguez's Sin City sequel A Dame to Kill For. He's taking the role of Johnny, a part first offered to Johnny Depp. After seeing Gordon-Levitt in Lincoln, Looper, The Dark Knight Rises and Premium Rush in 2012 alone, it seemed reasonable to expect at least two out of three movies here, but hey, the guy deserves a bit of rest.

SYDNEY (AP) — An Emirates flight from Sydney to Dubai made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff because of an engine fault, the airline said Monday.
Passengers reported hearing a loud bang and seeing flames coming from the engine of the Airbus A380 after it took off from Sydney on Sunday night. The plane landed without incident and passengers were rebooked on other flights. There were no injuries.
John Fothergill of Auckland, New Zealand, told Australia's News Limited that he saw flames shooting out of the engine and felt the plane shake.
"I thought it could have been lightning but then we saw flames come out of the engine," he said. "The whole interior of the A380 lit up."
Passenger Ross Clarke told Australia's Seven Network that he heard a loud bang.
"We were told by the pilot that something had gone wrong on the starboard engine, number three engine," he said.
An Emirates spokeswoman, speaking on the airline's customary condition of anonymity, denied there were flames in the engine.
"There was no fire, no flames, no smoke," she said. "There may have been a loud bang."
Investigators were looking into the cause of the engine fault, she said.

Travel into Canada's High Arctic and experience its remote wonders during a lodge stay
Located 800 km inside the Arctic Circle, right on the Northwest Passage, the Arctic Circle Wilderness Lodge qualifies as the world's northernmost safari resort. This pristine tract of wilderness – replete with riverways, canyons and waterfalls – are incredibly scenic in themselves, but it's the flora and fauna here that are the real highlight. Beluga whales romp about in the waters, polar bears and musk ox plod about the land and gulls, falcons and snow geese scour the skies. In between outings and lectures dedicated to the wildlife, there are opportunities to careen around in an all-terrain vehicle, kayak among icebergs, hike through canyons and whitewater raft down the swiftly flowing Cunningham River. If it's a mix of animals and activity you're after, look no further.
Hike out to the Triple Waterfalls and watch water cascade down five stories
Spot beluga whales splashing about in the Cunningham River Delta
Get closer to this amazing environment while paddling a kayak around floating icebergs in Cunningham Inlet
Uncover the Arctic's huge range of wildlife – see gulls and peregrine falcons soaring around Gull Canyon
Wander through the gigantic skeletal structures of bowhead whales in the Badlands
Even transport on Somerset Island is an adventure – whiz about in the snow in an all-terrain vehicle
As you'd expect, temperatures in the Arctic are very cold. A warm parka will be provided along with waterproof boots and unlimited hot drinks, but you should also bring base layers and lots of warm clothing. Please see the trip notes for further important information about what to bring.
Weather depending, you will be making regular excursions in a Zodiac boat to explore the local area and look for wildlife. It can get very cold and wet on the Zodiac, so make sure you are dressed appropriately and that you keep your camera safe and dry. Sturdy sea legs are needed as you make wet and dry landings from the boat, and on steep terrain, snow and other uneven surfaces. Some ships have a lot of stairs, so please hold on to the handrails if seas are rough.
The weather plays a pivotal part in this adventure and although there's an itinerary in place, there are no guarantees that you'll be able to do everything that is planned for. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially to such a remote area.
This trip takes places during the time of year that Spitsbergen enjoys 24-hour daylight. Just one of the benefits of this is that incredible wildlife can be seen at any time of the day – be prepared to be woken at any time so as to not miss out on exciting animal sightings.
Polar bears are one of the most incredible and appealing animals on the planet, but they are also powerful predators with little fear of humans. Therefore it's necessary to be aware of the guidelines surrounding any contact with Polar bears. Follow your leader's instructions and do not stray from your group – your leader carries equipment to protect you.

As a beginning example, the Online Archive of California, has a digitized image of the San Francisco earthquake available on its Website. The image is entitled, "Looking N. E. from Sansom and Sacramento Sts. after the Earthquake & Great Fire of Apr. 18th to 20th 1906, San Francisco, Cal" The contributor is The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-6000. The copyright notice is as follows:
Copyright has not been assigned to The Bancroft Library. All requests for permission to publish or quote from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Head of Public Services for forwarding. Permission for publication is given on behalf of The Bancroft Library as the owner of the physical items and is not intended to include or imply permission of the copyright holder, which must also be obtained by the reader.It is obviously implied that the photograph is subject to a "copyright" and that the copyright has an "owner." From the further information given with the photograph it was taken in 1906. So the question is whether or not there is any possible copyright law in the U.S. that would apply to or protect the owner of the photograph?
Copyright Owner: University of California Regents
Copyright Contact: The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720
First of all, where did the photograph come from? Who took the photo? Normally, a copyright is owned by the creator of the work. Quoting from the U.S. Copyright Office Website of the Library of Congress, "Copyright is the right of the author of the work or the author's heirs or assignees, not of the one who only owns or possesses the physical work itself. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section "Who Can Claim Copyright." More importantly, this photograph was taken in 1906, more than 100 years ago. Suffice it to say, that the time periods concerning copyright protection are fairly complicated, but for works published before January 1, 1978, the longest recognized term of copyright is 95 years and most works are protected for far less time periods. For a longer explanation, see the publication, Copyright Basics, from the United States Copyright Office.
So, in fact, there is no legal way that the photograph taken in 1906 could still be subject to copyright. But, there is another question. Can the scanned copy of the photograph published on the California Website be copyrighted? Without going into a huge legal discussion, the answer is no. Making a copy of a work does not create a copyright. That does not mean that the information contained in the Website is not copyrighted, it just means that there is likely no copyright protection for the image itself. So why all the verbiage from the Website about copyright? The clue is in the statement made about the copyright holder. The University of California does not what to be sued, so it is hedging and acknowledging that in some possible universe, some kind of claim might be made so they don't want to be responsible.
From a practical standpoint, it is extremely unlikely that original historical documents themselves, especially those more than 100 years old, can be subject to any possible copyright claim even if they are reproduced on the Internet.
Next time I will discuss fair use and how that might impact historical documents.

text: Alright. Another stupid mistake. I accidentaly put too much arctic silver on my AMD T-bird and when I looked at how hot it was in my BIOS it said 90 degrees celsius. Could this damage my t-bird. I shut it off right away as soon as I saw the temp. So then I corrected my error and put the proper amount of arctic silver on. At the same time my case was open I sold 128 megs of very good RAM so now I only have 256 megs of generic RAM. So then I started my computer and my gigabyte motherboard posted "Checking NVRAM..." and stopped there, twice. I'm hoping this is a RAM problem because I really don't feel like buying another t-bird. Also, once it posts "Checking NVRAM..." I have to do a hard shut down (hold the power button 5 seconds" for it to shut off. So, does 90 degrees celcius kill my CPU?
