Eventful's "Demand it!" Service Will Empower Voters to Choose Local Bases for Screenings Before the Epic-Scale Action-Adventure Opens in Theaters on May 18
San Diego – April 12, 2012 – Eventful Inc., the leading digital media company connecting consumers with live entertainment, movies, and local events, and Universal Pictures announced today the first-ever online campaign to bring sneak previews of Universal Pictures' "Battleship" to 10 U.S. military bases. The epic-scale action-adventure opens in theaters across the country on May 18.
To join the "Battle of the Bases" campaign, friends and family may choose a military base that is near or special to them by voting online now at http://eventful.com/battleship. The 10 military bases that receive the highest online vote tally by May 8th will receive an advance screening of "Battleship" at a theater near the base between May 15 and May 17. Nearly 300 military bases nationwide have the chance to make the top 10.
In Summer 2012, the battle for Earth begins at sea. Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom, Friday Night Lights) directs and produces "Battleship," an epic-scale action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. The film stars Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, Tadanobu Asano and Liam Neeson.
"These early screenings of 'Battleship' allow Universal an opportunity to thank our active duty and reserve service members and their families for their constant sacrifices," said Josh Goldstine, President of Theatrical Marketing, Universal Pictures. "The spirit of the film is one of assembling the best of the best for a daunting, shared mission. We hope that by bringing together our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coast guardsmen with their families, they may enjoy a night out at the movies."
Voting is easy through Eventful's "Demand it!"TM service, which empowers fans to bring films and live entertainment to their communities while gaining access to exclusive content, pre-sales, and other unique promotional opportunities.
"We're gratified to work with Universal Pictures to use the power of social media to reward our service members with a chance to see one of the hottest action films of the summer," said Jordan Glazier, CEO Eventful.
While Eventful has used Demand it! engagement to spark numerous, successful online screening campaigns, this is the first time the company is teaming up with a film studio to arrange showings for military bases.
Eventful will promote the screenings in communities around the winning military bases. Tickets will be issued by Eventful to all RSVP subscribers to the screenings on a first come, first-served basis (with ticket availability determined by Universal and Eventful in advance).
Along with engaging voters, the five-week campaign is intended to help build awareness about "Battleship" and drive views of its action-packed trailer. For additional information on "Battleship," check out http://www.battleshipmovie.com/.

Fool's Gold
Listen to Audio (right click to save)
My outreach trips to South Africa have been with some wonderful ministry experiences. We saw African young people coming to Christ. We had the privilege of training South African youth workers to reach lost young people. And we're even training people to reach the lost and the young through radio. One afternoon we were able to sneak away long enough to visit one of the gold mines that helped make South Africa the richest country on that continent. Years ago this was the largest and richest gold mine in the world. Today, an old miner take guys like me, puts a helmet on them, gives them a light, and takes them on tours. It was fascinating to hear him describe how gold was uncovered and then extracted from deep inside the earth. At one point, he asked us to shine our light on one wall of the mine, and it sparkled with this bright, yellow gold! It was amazing - beautiful! The old miner told us, "Don't get too excited." He said, "Real gold is black. It doesn't even look like gold. That stuff that glitters, well, that's just fool's gold.
It's "values clarification time," with the help of our word for today from the Word of God. 1 Timothy 6:8-12, "If we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich (that's the people who go after the stuff that glitters) fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
It's so easy to buy the values of a world that measures worth by success, by how much of the glittery stuff you have - to spend major life-energy going after more house, more car, more wardrobe, more position, more prestige. It's gold - but it's fool's gold. Notice the words God uses to describe the pursuit of more: a trap, foolish desires, harmful desires, ruin and destruction, wandering from the faith, grief. The foolishness of all this is summed up in two words God uses to describe security that is based on earth-stuff "so uncertain." That's what He calls it in 1 Timothy 6:17.
So God reveals the scam - what looks so valuable is so worthless, and the spiritual riches that may look so worthless are so valuable. Like fool's gold and real gold. The chapter goes on to describe the real gold. "But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness." Don't look for those on the Dow-Jones, but they are so much more precious than anything you'll find there and certainly a lot more lasting.
God says when you live your life to give instead of get, you will be one of those who "lay up treasures for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life" (1 Timothy 6:19) or the gold that is really gold.
Take a moment for a priority check - not about what you believe, but about how you're spending your life. Honestly now, is most of the best of your life tied up in going after fool's gold? Do you even have much energy, much time, much resource left to pursue the gold of what will last for eternity like getting to know Jesus better, getting people to heaven with you, showing Jesus' love to people who really need it, absorbing God's Word? It's time to live for what will last.
With whatever years you have left, go where the real gold is. The stuff that glitters is what most of the people around you are going for. But remember, it's just fool's gold.
Learn how to begin a personal, love-relationship with the God who made you.

What surprised me was no Native American showing for me (it is confirmed that I have Native American heritage through a Mohawk ancestor, Ots-Toch born ca 1622 in what is now New York state), and that I have a small bit of East Asian. However it's important to note that one test isn't the final answer, especially when searching for confirmation of heritage from several generations back.
So it doesn't concern me at all that my Native American heritage doesn't show in the 23andMe.com results. The raw data from my brother's DNA test on Family Tree DNA also did not show our Native American heritage until I had it analyzed by Professor MacDonald, who is conducting his own study on DNA and has a different set of algorithms for providing results. Then it showed my brother as having .7% Native American heritage.
And the icing on the cake is that my brother's DNA test from 23andMe.com also showed our Native American heritage at .7% (with East Asian at .1% just as mine is)
My brother's test from 23andMe also showed .7% Iberian which is the region of Spain and surrounding areas. We know from his raw data that he has a rare mutation which is known to have occurred when a group of Basque men went up to help build Hadrian's Wall between Scotland and England. So that fits with the finding of Iberian heritage.

Archives and Libraries[edit | edit source]
Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm. This Wiki page describes the major repositories of genealogical and historical records and sources for researching German-speaking people from Russia.
Although, the records you need may be in a foreign archive or library, the Family History Library may have a microfilm copy of them. Check the FamilySearch Catalog before writing to or visiting archives in the Commonwealth of Independent States (hereafter CIS) or Germany.
If you plan to visit one of these repositories, check their website, or contact the organization and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, fees, and whether they allow visitors. For further information about the collection try looking in the FamilySearch Catalog Author/Title Search under the archive name for inventories and registers. You could also try the FamilySearch Catalog Place Search under the place where the archive is located and the topic "Archives and Libraries."
There are six major types of genealogical repositories for records about Germans from Russia:
Many large collections of Germans from Russia records exist in Central Europe as well as the Commonwealth of Independent States. Soviet archives centralized vast holdings of church and vital records dating from 1722 to 1917. By so doing they have assisted in preserving records that might otherwise have been lost or destroyed.
State and National Archives (Commonwealth of Independent States)[edit | edit source]
Archives in Russia and other former Soviet regions are, at best, very difficult to deal with and at worst, impossible to deal with. Some, such as the main Archive in St. Petersburg are completely closed (as of 2009) to any form of research. Research in these archives is best left to the most experienced of genealogists, and in particular, those with ready access to those sources. Some of the Germans from Russia societies have made special arrangements to work in some archives. Such societies are the best starting point for research.
Repositories of primary interest to genealogists are the Central State Archives [Центральный Государственный Архив = Tsentral'nyy Gosudarstvennyy Arkhiv] and theCentral State Historical Archives [Центральный Государственный Исторический Архив = Tsentral'nyy Gosudarstvennyy Istoricheskyy Arkhiv] systems of the CIS, with over two hundred seventy central and branch repositories located throughout Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaidzhan, Moldova, Kirgizia, Tajikistan, Armenia and Turkmenistan. Included in these systems are traditional provincial and country archives.
Central States Archives in Russia do not normally have the funding to respond to correspondence. All church records have been sent to Central State Archives. Civil registration was begun in 1917 and records are available at the Central State Archives. A few questions may be answered by correspondence at Ukrainian archives. Most researchers either visit the archives in person, or hire an agent to do the research for them. For information about hiring professional researchers
Repositories and significant collections of vital records for Russian-German research include:
Central State Historical Archives of Belorussia in Minsk contains church books of the Lutheran Bishopric of Minsk, vital records of the Mogilev Roman Catholic Consistory, and poll tax records for the Minsk province.
Central State Historical Archives of Moscow has vital records for the Moscow Evangelical-Lutheran Consistory, 1833-1917.
State Archives of the Saratov Region houses original church books for the Lutheran congregations of the Volga region, vital records of the Tiraspol Roman Catholic Consistory, and poll tax records for the Saratov province.
St. Petersburg Central State Historical Archives contains vital records for the St. Petersburg Evangelical-Lutheran Consistory of which the years 1833-1885 have been microfilmed and are available through the FHL. Later years are known to be held by these Archives. The territory covered includes most of what was western Russia at the time (except for Poland and Baltic States) from Arkhanglsk in the north to the Black Sea in the south AND Alaska. Poll tax records for the Sanktpeterburg province are also held there. As of 2010, this Archive is closed to all research. It has been closed for the past eight years or so for building renovations. Reopening date is not known at this time.

Contacting the Central State and Central State Historical Archives systems is both difficult and time consuming. All correspondence must be written and addressed in the native language using the Cyrillic alphabet. Do NOT send money through the mail. A guide listing both addresses and telephone numbers for these archives is:
International Directory of Archives = Annuaire international des archives / International Council on Archives. Archivum, vol. 38. München; London; New York; Paris: K. G. Saur, 1992. (FHL book 020.5 Ar25 v. 38). Commonwealth of Independent States archive addresses are listed state-by-state in English on pages 71-88, and in Russian on pages 88-121.
Arrangement of Russian Archive Records. Russian archive material is organized by fond [фонд], opis [опись], and delo [дело]. The records in a fond are simply the records of a specific organization, portion of an organization, or individual. An institution creates records for its own purpose and use. When the administrative or personal value of the records expires, they are transferred to an archive.
Archives may also create collections as opposed to fonds. These collections contain records of differing authorship and are filed together on some logical or thematic basis. In some archives, therefore, vital records may be found in collections rather than fonds. These collections, as in the Crimea for example, usually include records of more than one religious denomination.
Fonds and collections are often described in guides [путеводители = putevoditeli]. The individual item in a fond is a file or volume [дело = delo]. Each delo is given a title based on the record type and contents. Items are usually filed chronologically by the earliest year of information found in that item.
The inventory of files in a fond or collection is known as an opis [опись]. While fond is a statement of authorship, opis is a statement of content. It consists of the title assigned to each time listed in a sequential order. It also includes information on inclusive dates and number of pages. The opis is the key to finding records in a fond and is considered the most significant finding aid used by researchers. It is usually not available outside of the archive.
A fond may have more than one opis. These sometimes reflect different types of material or blocks of material accession by the archives. The decision as to what to include in an opis is in the hands of the archival cataloger, and will vary significantly from archive to archive.
Special German Archives[edit | edit source]
Researchers who identify the German, French, Swiss, or Austrian town of origin of their German-speaking ancestors who settled in Russia can find information about significant archives and how to contact them in the "Archives and Libraries" page of the Germany Wiki. Four German archives in particular are important for researching Germans from Russia:
German Center for Genealogy [Zentralstelle für Genealogie] was founded as an archive for genealogical materials. It has an extensive collection of German church records from Poland, Russia, Lithuania, and other east European German-speaking settlements. The Family History Library has microfilms of these records, but if you need more information, you can contact the center. For a fee, employees of the center will try to find genealogical sources. But as a general rule, research must be done in Leipzig by the researcher. The address is:
Deutsche Zentralstelle für Genealogie
Postfach 274
D-04002 Leipzig
German Foreign Institute [Deutsches Ausland-Institut (Stuttgart)] between 1917 and 1945 created a parish register inventory, genealogies, biographies, and a dozen alphabetical index card files listing names of Germans from Russia, their settlements, and showing many of their places of origin. In 1987 this collection became part of the Federal Archive [Bundesarchiv] in Koblenz. The Family History Library has microfilms of these card files. They are described in the Author/Title Search of the FamilySearch Catalog under Deutsches Ausland-Institut (Stuttgart). Many are also cited in the appropriate Germans from Russia Wiki pages. The archival material from this collection is now at:
- Bundesarchiv
- Potsdamer Str. 1
- D-70173 Koblenz
A sixteen page inventory of this collection is:
Deutsches Ausland-Institut (Stuttgart).Karteienverzeichnis: 1750-1945 (Card Index Inventory, 1750-1945). Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988. (FHL film 1340061 item 3).Also FamilySearch.org
East German Genealogical Study Group [Arbeitsgemeinschaft ostdeutscher Familienforscher (AGoFF)] specializes in ancestors east of the Oder-Neiße line and east European settlements such as Russia and Moldova. The study group requests inquiries be typed and in the German language whenever possible.

United States[edit | edit source]
Many archives and libraries in the United States have information about Germans from Russia. For more information about these repositories see the Wiki article United States Archives and Libraries and the appropriate state Wiki pages. A significant library of German-Russian material is:
- Family History Library
- 35 North West Temple Street
- Salt Lake City, UT 84150-3400
- Telephone: 801-240-3433
- Fax: 801-240-1925
The Family History Library has acquired German-Russian records from archives in Russia, Ukraine, and other sources. These include:
- St. Petersburg Lutheran Consistory, including parishes near St. Petersburg, near the Black Sea, in Bessarabia, and Volhynia
- Bessarabian Lutheran settlement church records
- Volhynia Lutheran church records (see complete list at SGGEE )
- Bukowina and Galicia (formerly Austria) some church records
- Library of Congress collection of Berlin Document Center films
See the Germans from Russia "Church Records" Wiki page for details. The Family History Library has no records from the Volga region or the Caucasus.
The hours, holidays, catalog, collection, services, key resources, and how to prepare to visit the library are described in Library Services and Resources.
Historical and Genealogical Societies[edit | edit source]
Many Germans-from-Russia started historical and genealogical societies. Some societies maintain libraries or archives that collect genealogical records. Many also publish valuable newsletters. For more information, including addresses of some societies see the Germans from Russia "Societies" Wiki page.
Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards[edit | edit source]
Computers with modems are important tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, news groups, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
- Locate other researchers interested in the same ancestors. Investigate the membership directories of genealogical groups to see who is researching your ancestors.
- Post queries. Ask about a particular ancestor or how to do research in an area. Other researchers may reply with exactly the help you need.
- Send and receive e-mail asking a specific individual or organization for information.
- Search large databases for information about specific individuals. Some computer archives contain compiled genealogies. Others are transcripts of original records.
- Search computer libraries for information about how to do research and genealogical book reviews.
- Join in computer chat and lecture sessions for ideas, inspiration, and tips to help your research.
Researching by computer can be very rewarding, but it also has its limitations. You will need access to a computer with a modem to use these files. An increasing number of public libraries provide network services for their visitors to use. Family History Centers usually have access to premium computer on-line services or networks. It takes time and practice to get acquainted with the various systems. However, local genealogical societies often have computer interest groups or members who are familiar with computer genealogical research. Sometimes there is a fee for accessing computer records. You often need to know where an ancestor lived to find further information about him. Information obtained by computer may contain inaccuracies and should be verified in original records where possible. Only a limited supply of records are available by computer. Other kinds of records must also be used to complete your research.
On-line services are provided by subscription. Commercial companies have designed subscription services to attract computer users to hundreds of areas of interest. Besides news and weather, you can also explore libraries and services specifically for genealogists. Look for membership directories, message boards, chat rooms, and libraries of research instruction and genealogies.
Networks allow your home computer to access information in the computer of someone else. Several noncommercial computer networks are available to help genealogists. For example, the Internet has many useful sites. Such sites come from libraries, archives, or individuals interested in sharing their records or findings. The sites include information about people and records from almost every historical time period and place.
News groups and bulletin board sections (BBS) on computer allow you to post messages, read replies, and reply to other researchers' messages. Both commercial on-line services and noncommercial networks offer this service.
The list of computer sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at little or no cost. The following sites are important gateways linking you to many more network and bulletin board sites. Addresses for network sites are subject to frequent changes. For a list of Internet sites for general United States research see the United States Archives and Libraries Wiki article. Germans from Russia family historians have been especially active in sharing information by computer network. To get started with computer network research contact:
- FamilySearch Internet http://www.FamilySearch.org Access the FamilySearch Catalog™, Ancestral File™, International Genealogical Index®, SourceGuide™, lists of Family History Centers, family history related web sites, and lists of researchers interested in similar genealogical topics. Learn about and find the availability of Family History Library publications.
- Cyndi Howell's List - Germans from Russia http://www.CyndisList.com/germruss.htm More links to other genealogical sites than anywhere else. Includes other Internet sites, mailing lists, people and families, news groups, publications, transcriptions of records, societies, villages and colonies.

Village Coordinators[edit | edit source]
These are individuals who coordinate the gathering of information and compiling of databases about the inhabitants of specific Germanic villages in Russia and the Ukraine. You are encouraged to share your family information with the village coordinator for the village where your ancestor lived. You may also benefit from information already submitted by others. The most up-to-date list of village coordinators, especially for Volga Germans, is found on the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia (AHSGR) Internet site described previously. The Germans from Russia Heritage Society (GRHS, Bismarck, ND) has the best list of village coordinators for the Ukraine and Moldova. However, you must be a member of GRHS to gain access to this list. Some parts of Ukraine, especially Volhynia, Kiev and Podolia regions, do not have village coordinators due to the huge numbers of villages in which the Germans scattered themselves. This region is served by the Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe.
Inventories, Registers, Catalogs[edit | edit source]
Most archives have catalogs, inventories, guides, or periodicals that describe their records and how to use them. If possible, study these guides before you visit or use the records of an archive so that you can use your time more effectively. Many guides and inventories to archives containing German-Russian records are availablein the Place Search of the Family History Library under:

NEWS- Boot-ville: Footwear defines Senate campaign
It's been 18 years since Spike Lee appeared in a Nike television spot and said the words, but if the July 22 debate between U.S. Senator George Allen and his Democratic challenger, Jim Webb, is any indication, the words are just as true as ever. If there's one thing that characterizes each candidate, "It's got to be the shoes."
Webb strode into the grand ballroom of The Homestead in Hot Springs wearing his Marine combat boots– a reminder of his service in Vietnam. Moments later, Allen walked the same aisle wearing the cowboy boots that have become his trademark. For the next 105 minutes, it seemed the shoes fit. In their first face-to-face meeting as opponents, Webb– the stoic, rigid military man– squared off against Allen, the folksy, politically able everyman.
If this election is to become a nasty, mudslinging affair, one wouldn't have known it from sitting in the room at the Virginia Bar Association-sponsored event. In fact, at times the two sounded like old friends, calling each other by their first names, swapping stories about working for Ronald Reagan (Allen as chairman of Young Virginians for Reagan in 1976 and Webb as Reagan's Secretary of the Navy), and even making plans to meet again in a less formal setting.
"I like George Allen," said Webb. "He's someone I wouldn't mind going out and having a beer with."
"I wish Jim were still endorsing me, I'd buy him a beer," Allen replied, alluding to Webb's public support for Allen in the 2000 race.
But not all the sparring was so chummy. Allen suggested that because Webb switched from the Democratic Party to the GOP and back again, "Someday we're going to be using the acronym R2-D2."
Webb countered that Allen had agreed with President Bush 97 percent of the time and said, "When two people agree 97 percent of the time, one of them doesn't need a job."
But it was Allen who scored the most visible blow. In the segment where the candidates put questions to one another, Allen caught Webb unprepared when he asked "What's your position on the proper use of Craney Island?"
"I'm not sure where Craney Island is," replied Webb. "Why don't you tell me?"
Allen proceeded to inform Webb, and the rest of the room, that Craney Island is a man-made peninsula off the coast of Portsmouth under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for which the Senate had appropriated $671.3 million for expansion and construction of a fourth port three days earlier.
After the debate, Webb blasted Allen's question as "gotcha politics" adding, "Anybody can have an esoteric issue put in front of them. He clearly didn't know the Montgomery GI Bill was a peacetime bill." Webb was referring to his own question about a proposal to fund today's veterans' education the way it had been funded for the veterans of World War II.
"It's a big, big deal. We just acted on Craney Island," Allen told reporters afterward. "This fourth port will mean thousands of jobs. It's not as if I asked him about someplace where nobody lives."
The pop quiz was the one unscripted moment in a debate for which both candidates had carefully planned their remarks. On the issue of Iraq, Allen reiterated his claim that "We can't tuck tail and run," while Webb reminded the audience that he had opposed invading Iraq in 1991 and in 2002, warning, "There will not be stability in the region until we leave."
Speaking with reporters, both expressed hope that American troops can be brought home soon, but differed on the method of expediting their return. "We can be out of Iraq in two years if we put the right diplomatic forces in play," Webb said. "Nobody can sit out."
"As soon as the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down," Allen retorted. Asked how to define that moment, Allen spoke of a recent meeting with Gen. George Casey, leader of U.S. military operations in Iraq. "He says right now one-fourth of the military operations in Iraq are led by Iraqis, and he thinks it can be three-fourths by the end of the year."
Among the other topics covered were embryonic stem cell research (Webb is for federal funding of it, Allen opposes it), affirmative action (Webb says it should apply only to African-Americans as compensation for slavery, saying, "I will fight for the rest of my life" to limit it as such; Allen emphasized the need to fully fund Virginia's historically black colleges), and the proposed Virginia constitutional amendment banning gay marriage (Webb opposes the amendment because of "how it could affect heterosexual and homosexual relationships"; Allen says he backs the amendment so that marriage in Virginia will be clearly defined "when Bob and Bill move from another state, like Massachusetts.")
Campaign managers are negotiating details of future debates, but currently the only firm date is September 18 at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce. The election for the six-year job takes place November 7.
In their first meeting as opponents, Sen. George Allen and Jim Webb debate Iraq, affirmative action, and gay marriage.

Mark Vlossak's training as a winemaker began when he was a young man and tasted wines daily with his father, a wine importer. As an amateur, he produced sparkling wine in 1985-87 and apprenticed with Fred Arterberry, Jr. at Arterberry, Ltd. in 1987 and 1988. At The Wine Lab in Napa, CA, he trained in enology under the tutelage of Lisa Van de Water. He was the winemaker for Panther Creek Cellars from 1994 to 1999. St. Innocent Winery was founded in May 1988 by Mark Vlossak, the current winemaker and president, and eight investors. Ten tons of grapes were crushed the first fall, producing 396 cases of still and 176 cases of sparkling wine. Production increased to our full capacity of 6800 cases in 2004. The winery is located in Salem, Oregon, at the southeast corner of the Eola Hills, in the mid-Willamette valley. St. Innocent produces small lot, handmade wines: seven single vineyard Pinot noirs and a blended Pinot noir called the Villages Cuvée, two Chardonnay from Dijon clone plantings, two Pinot gris, and a Pinot blanc. In the spring of 2006, St. Innocent purchased an interest in Zenith Vineyard (formerly O'Connor Vineyard) located in the Eola-Amity Hills. This 133 acre site has 81 acres planted. 4 acres of Pinot noir are currently in production for St. Innocent's use, 5 more are planted and will come into production in 2010, and an additional 7 acres will plant in 2008. The winery also works with 8 different growers, leasing specific blocks of vineyard to produce terroir-specific wines. Unique sites produce grapes that have a concentration of flavor reflective of the site-based terroir. Maintaining a close working relationship with its growers allows a collaborative fine-tuning of viticultural techniques in order to focus these flavors and aromas in the wines. We are now located at our new winery at Zenith Vineyard. This 17,500 sq. ft., 4 level, gravity facility features underground barrel rooms, a temperature controlled crush floor, and a 900 sq. ft. tasting room. We harvested the 2007 vintage the new facility and the tasting room opened in February 2008. The philosophy behind the winemaking at St Innocent is that the function of wine is to complement and extend the pleasure of a meal. The characteristics of a wine should enhance different food and flavor combinations - this interaction amplifies the pleasure of a meal. To this end, St. Innocent wines tend toward higher acid levels, and more diverse and balanced flavors. The winery is open 11-4 from Tuesday-Sunday beginning May 1st through October, and weekends 11-4 from November through April. We are also open Memorial Day and Thanksgiving weekends, when we have our famous buffet including our winemaker's signature cassoulet and herbed leg of Oregon lamb. You may schelule a private tour and barrel tasting at other times by calling for an appointment. Read less

Whitewater, Wis. September 7, 2013 – No. 9 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter en route to a 17-7 victory over Washington University in St. Louis in the season opener for both teams Saturday afternoon in front of 4,282 fans at Perkins Stadium in Whitewater Wis.
Washington U. had a 7-0 lead with less than 10 minutes remaining in the contest, when Wisconsin-Whitewater scored 17-straight points to win the season opener. The Bears were limited 36 yards of total offense on 28 plays in the second half.
"We had a good performance today and the kids played hard for all four quarters. We felt like we were controlling the tempo of the game," said Washington U. head coach Larry Kindbom. "We played against an outstanding defense today and we had trouble getting first downs in the second half."
Washington U. drove the field on its opening possession, going 80 yards on nine plays in just under four minutes. Senior quarterback Eric Daginella capped the drive with a 29-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Will Smith to make it 7-0 with 11:06 to play in the first quarter.
That would be all the scoring until the fourth quarter. Whitewater's offense never moved into the Bears' 40-yard line until the fourth. Washington U. had 156 yards of total offense in the opening half, and took a 7-0 lead into the locker room.
Daginella was efficient in the first half, going 7-for-11 with 126 yards and a touchdown. Junior wide receiver Tim Bartholomew had three catches for 86 yards in the opening half. UW-Whitewater was limited to 115 yards of total offense and punted on all four of its possessions in the opening half.
Whitewater finally got on the scoreboard following a 32-yard field goal by Eric Kindler with 9:19 left in the game to cut the Bears' lead to 7-3. The Warhawk defense held, and on the Bears' punt, Justin Howard was interfered on a fair catch attempt. The penalty put the Whitewater offense at the Washington U. 30-yard line.
Junior quarterback Matt Behrendt connected with junior wide receiver Jake Kumerow for a 30-yard touchdown pass on the next play to make it 10-7 with 6:39 remaining. Dennis Moore added a 28-yard run late in the contest to make it 17-7.
Daginella threw for 147 yards on 9-of-26 passes with a touchdown and an interception, as Washington U. was limited to 195 yards of total offense. Sophomore running back Zach Lonneman led the rushing attack with 32 yards on 10 carries.
Junior linebacker Fade Oluokun led the defensive unit with 11 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack, while senior defensive lineman Nelson Nwumeh added a career-best 10 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and a half of a sack. The defensive unit limited Whitewater to 258 yards of total offense.
Washington University (0-1) hosts Rhodes College in the 2013 home opener Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m.
Bear Notebook: UW-Whitewater defeated Washington U. 34-0 a year ago in St. Louis in the teams first meeting … WUSTL is 18-7 in season openers under Kindbom, but has dropped six of its last 10 games … The Bears had their four-game winning streak dating back to last season snapped … Whitewater had a 34:27-25:33 advantage in time of possession.

The Owners – Alex and Jenna are thrilled to own and operate the Good Earth Nursery & Garden Center. Although they're native New Jerseyans and grew up somewhat close to one another (Alex is from East Brunswick and Jenna is from Millstone Twp), the two met during their undergraduate studies at The University of Rhode Island (URI), where Alex studied Natural Resource Sciences and Jenna studied Marine Biology. After completing their studies, the two took an adventure on The Appalachian Trail, hiking from New Jersey to Maine to raise awareness and funds for the Matthew Krug Foundation. Shortly after that, they moved to California for Jenna to complete a Master's degree in Marine Ecology. For her Masters, she completed hundreds of SCUBA dives at Catalina Island. Meanwhile, Alex worked for the Los Angeles County Fire Department as a Forester. One of Alex's responsibilities was to run a county native plant nursery.
It was there that he learned about nursery management. He also completed a Master's in Public Administration. After completing her thesis, Jenna worked for the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains. A large part of her work was dedicated to helping to conserve the endangered steelhead trout population that spawns in the southern California coastal creeks as well as restore native wildlife habitat to the area. While they enjoyed living in California, the two always imagined that they would move back to their home state of New Jersey. When Alex saw the listing for the Nursery in late 2013, it was the beginning of their next chapter. They re-established the Good Earth in June 2014 and since then, not only have their plants been growing, but their family has grown as well with the addition of their beautiful daughter Norah.
We would like to give many thanks to our fabulous friends and family, especially Jenna and Alex's parents, who have helped us out in the beginning stages and continue to give us amazing support!

MOORHEAD - With the 2014 election on the horizon, a Republican candidate has emerged to contest Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson for his seat in Congress.
State Sen. Torrey Westrom, R-Elbow Lake, will announce in Moorhead today his bid to unseat Peterson in Minnesota's Seventh District - making him the first candidate to launch a campaign aimed at taking on the 12-term Democrat from Detroit Lakes, who hasn't been in a close election in nearly 20 years.
In an interview before his announcement, Westrom cast Peterson as part of what he called dysfunction in Washington, D.C., while portraying himself as a new face with political acumen honed in more than a decade in the state Legislature.
"They can't even get a farm bill through," Westrom said. "You can't change the dysfunction in Washington if you don't change the players at the table."
A lawyer and small-business owner, Westrom was first elected to the Minnesota House in 1996 to represent the Elbow Lake area, where he lives with his wife and three children.
He jumped to the state Senate last year, which stretches across eight of the 7th District's 38 counties.
Combined with his background in agriculture – he grew up on a farm and "woke up milking cows before the school bus came" – Westrom said he has a pulse for the district that will help him take on Peterson.
Westrom mulled the decision for months before becoming the first Republican to officially announce a bid. He acknowledged beating the longtime Democrat won't be easy.
Known as a moderate Democrat and a strong voice on agriculture, Peterson has sailed to smooth victories in nearly every election since he was first voted into office in 1990. After close re-election races in 1992 and 1994, Peterson has crushed Republican challengers by 20- to 40-point margins.
Most recently, he defeated Lee Byberg by 17- and 25-point margins in 2010 and 2012, respectively. That's despite running in one of the most Republican-leaning districts in Minnesota - second only to Rep. Michele Bachmann's Sixth District, according to the Cook Political Report's Partisan Voting Index.
"The 7th District Republican Party members will have to consider their options as I'm hearing there are others who are looking at getting in the race," Peterson said in an emailed statement. "Frankly, I'm just concentrating on getting the farm bill done."
Montevideo businessman Scott Van Binsbergen, who has been considering stepping in for more than a year, said he plans to decide around the new year. He said Westrom's announcement won't factor into his choice.
A focus on smaller government
Westrom said he will build his platform around "the need for a smaller, less-intrusive government." He highlighted cancellations of health insurance policies prompted by the Affordable Care Act - commonly called Obamacare - as an example, and predicted the health care law will be a major issue again in 2014.
He also said he would support a constitutional amendment requiring Congress to pass a balanced budget.
Westrom stressed his broad experience in the state Legislature in the last decade as an asset – including issues such as agriculture, energy, finance and civil law.
But there's one particular issue he's always tried to champion: helping those with disabilities. Westrom has been blind since 1987, when a car accident took his sight at age 14.
"I will be a loud voice for those people," he said, working on ways to help those with disabilities find work and remain independent.
Westrom said he plans to spend the next few months raising money and touring the district, which covers most of western Minnesota.
A helping hand
Westrom's campaign is getting a jumpstart from national Republicans, who targeted Peterson early this year.
The National Republican Congressional Committee put $22,000 worth of ads attacking the Minnesota Democrat on the air in Fargo-Moorhead and in the Twin Cities this summer. Peterson was one of seven Democrats the NRCC targeted for the 2014 election.
And though the NRCC is in Moorhead helping Westrom launch his campaign, spokeswoman Alleigh Marré said her organization won't back his campaign financially – at least not until Republicans in the 7th District choose their candidate in a primary.
"Our focus is on offense against Peterson," she said.
An official from the 7th District Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party did not respond to a request for comment.
Minnesota Senate Minority Leader David Hann was glad to hear Westrom decided to challenge Peterson. Hann said he had urged him to consider challenging Peterson, and he thinks Westrom can win.
Hann, the top Republican in the Senate, has been colleagues with Westrom in the Senate for just a year, but he said Westrom's work ethic, political skill and ability to connect with constituents are obvious.
"He's just a guy that has the right blend of experience and is certainly well-connected to the people out in western Minnesota," Hann said. "When (voters) meet him and talk to him, they'll see that right away."

DeLAND, Fla. – The Harvard baseball team got into the win column Sunday night, defeating 19th-ranked Stetson in the second game of a doubleheader at Melching Field. Harvard dropped the opener by a score of 3-0 before coming back with a 5-1 victory in the nightcap.
In the second game, Harvard (1-5) received outstanding pitching, especially from reliever Matt Doyle (1-0), who shut down the Hatters for 3.2 hitless innings. The righty struck out three and worked out of several jams caused by three walks and a hit batsman.
Zack Olson, who has steadily come on as Harvard's go-to closer out of the bullpen, worked the final 1.1 innings for the win. Sam Dodge worked around five walks and three hits in his four innings of work which included three strikeouts. In all, the Crimson pitchers worked around nine walks and a hit batter to hold the Hatters at bay.
The Crimson jumped on top with a single run in the first. Mike Martin singled to lead off and came around on a sacrifice fly from Jeff Reynolds.
Stetson (12-3) tied the game in the second on a sacrifice fly from Trey Blackman.
Reynolds struck again in the third with an opposite field single to score Martin, who singled with one out. The Crimson was unlucky however as Danny Moskovits lined out with runners on first and third to end the scoring threat.
Harvard extended its lead to 4-1 in the sixth with a two-out rally. Carleton Bailey singled home Zach Boden (single, stolen base) and then came around on an opposite field triple from Jon Smart.
Smart spearheaded an insurance run for the Crimson in the ninth as well as he tripled to lead off and came home on a bizarre play that saw Reynolds loft what would have been a sacrifice fly to right. The ball was dropped however and a force play at second got an out to avoid an error and a sacrifice fly in the scorebook but more importantly made it a 5-1 Harvard lead.
Martin, Reynolds, Smart, Bailey and Jack Colton all ahd two hits apiece for the Crimson, which out-hit the Hatters, 11-5 on the night.
Stetson took the first game by a score of 3-0. The Hatters scored a pair of runs in the fourth inning on a one-out wild pitch and an RBI single.
In the fifth, Steven Dill doubled with one out on a grounder up the middle that was knocked down and bounced into right field with the Crimson catcher hustling into second. Stetson starter Lindsey Caughel worked out of the jam with two strikeouts, giving him seven through the first five innings.
In the sixth, a leadoff single was followed by a pair of grounders but an infield single and a throwing error allowed the third run to score.
From that point on, Caughel shut the door, finishing with 10 strikeouts in 7.0 innings during which he allowed just five hits. Robbie Powell struck out two in 2.0 hitless innings for the save.
Joey Novak suffered his second loss of the year in tough-luck fashion as he scattered four hits in 5.2 innings of work.

New law helps, not hurts, juveniles
The [March 8] Week in Review's "toughest on juveniles" paragraph was wildly inaccurate when it stated that the General Assembly passed a bill making the suspension and expulsion records of students open to public scrutiny.
It's true that legislation gets introduced year after year proposing to impose adult sanctions on young people and ratchet up penalties for their misbehavior, even though juvenile crime rates are lower than ever and falling. But HB 367, sponsored by Delegate McClellan, is actually a step in the direction of protecting youth from unfair treatment. The bill requires the Virginia Department of Education to publish suspension and expulsion rates disaggregated by race, disability status, and gender– just like we do routinely with graduation, dropout, and SOL pass rates– while protecting the confidentiality of individual students.
Suspension and expulsion disproportionately affects students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, students with emotional disabilities, and minority students. For example, while black students make up just 24 percent of Virginia's student body, they received 57 percent of the total suspensions last school year. More recently, the U.S. Department of Education released national data indicating that over 70 percent of students involved in school-related arrests or law enforcement referrals are Hispanic or African-American.
High suspension rates are associated with low student achievement, high dropout rates, and increased contact with the juvenile justice system. HB 367 gives communities the information they need to confront disparities and work toward keeping more youth in school and on track to college or career.

Science Fiction Author Jaleta Clegg Lands On The Child Finder Trilogy
Today's guest-blogger is Nexus Point author, Jaleta Clegg, and I have to warn you…she's a hoot! Jaleta was born some time ago, so she tells me. She's filled the years since with many diverse activities, such as costuming, quilting, cooking, video games, reading, and writing. She's been a fan of classic sci-fi books and campy movies since she can remember. Her collection of bad sci-fi movies is only rivaled by her collection of eclectic CD's (polka, opera, or Irish folk songs, anyone?).
Her day job involves an inflatable planetarium, numerous school children, and starship simulators. Her summer job involves cooking alien food for space camp. She writes a regular column in Abandoned Towers Magazine–fancy dinner menus for themed parties.
Her first novel, Nexus Point (www.nexuspoint.info), is now in print from Cyberwizard Productions. She has stories published in Bewildering Tales, Abandoned Towers, and Darwin's Evolutions.
Jaleta lives in Utah with her husband, a horde of her own children, and two ancient, toothless cats. She wants to be either Han Solo or Ursula the Sea Witch when she grows up. If she ever does. She also detests referring to herself in the third person, but sometimes she bows to necessity. Read More

ATLANTA (AP) A man was injured in a fight outside the Georgia Dome and taken to nearby Grady Hospital following Atlanta's loss to San Francisco in the NFC title game.
Georgia Dome spokesman Jason Kirksey emailed a statement to The Associated Press Sunday saying an altercation occurred in a parking lot outside the dome at 6:40 p.m.
The 35-year-old's name was not released. The statement says he is in stable condition and that it is unclear ``if anyone involved in the altercation attended the game.'' Georgia Dome and Atlanta police ``are investigating the incident.''

A factory-finished pre-hung door gives you the peace of mind that your door will swing evenly, smoothly, and close securely.
We ship unfinished single door orders as a complete, pre-hung unit. Finished doors, orders with multiple doors, doors with sidelites, and double doors are shipped in what is called "knocked down" condition. We complete the pre-hanging at the factory and disassemble your door into its component pieces. Upon receipt of your door you will need to assemble the jambs and attach the hinges - all holes are predrilled, and assembly for a typical door takes approximately 20 minutes.
The nature of a knocked down door insures you still receive a factory-quality pre-hung unit, but saves substantially on what you would otherwise pay to ship a much larger assembled door.
Shipping Info
UberDoors is a leader in large format freight shipping. We specialize in delivering large products (doors) directly to your home or job-site.
Due to the size and weight of a typical solid wood door, all orders are shipped LTL Freight.
**Please note: Shipments under 95" will have lift-gate services and curbside delivery. However, shipments over 95" will not fit on a lift gate and will require assistance in unloading. Please make the appropriate arrangements by the shipment arrival.
The crate that your door comes in is composed of 2 x 4 framing and plywood and/or OSB sheets. We finish our crates with metal or plastic banding to help insure its integrity. Our crates are designed to withstand the rigors of shipping heavy products like doors across the country, but they also add to the already substantial weight of a solid wood door.
Especially if you're ordering multiple doors, please be advised that the package you'll be receiving will be quite substantial & most likely require help from multiple people or equipment to move. The delivery driver has only been contracted to deliver the package curbside.
Many of our customers unpack their crate curbside and move the component pieces into their home or storage location, making it easier to manage.

The preliminary legislative review of the controversial cross-strait service trade agreement scheduled for today was temporarily postponed and two more public hearings are to be held instead in response to continuing opposition from the public to the legislature ratifying the agreement.
Academics and representatives of civic groups apprehensive of opening up the nation's service sector to Chinese investors continued to call for lawmakers to take citizens' opinions into account through a deliberative democracy process before the agreement is reviewed in the legislature.
Lawmakers from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Taiwan Solidarity Union have voiced support for the demand that the impact on each industry covered by the trade agreement be discussed at a separate public hearing, with business owners and representatives of those employed in the sector invited to talk about their views before the legislative review begins.
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) did not agree to the request.
Two separate public hearings were held yesterday by a joint committee led by the Internal Administration Committee, entrusted by the legislature's plenary session to do a preliminary review of the agreement.
The preliminary review was scheduled for today, but the KMT agreed to postpone the meeting after it turned down a request by the DPP and the TSU that protesters rallying outside the legislature be allowed to be present at yesterday's public hearing as observers.
A total of 28 representatives from academia, business associations and civic organizations were invited to present their views on the agreement, while Mainland Affairs Council Minister Wang Yu-chi (王郁琦), Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) Chairman Lin Join-sane (林中森) and Minister of Economic Affairs Chang Chia-juch (張家祝) were also present.
At the hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people, most of the seats were taken by legislative assistants and officials from various departments.
The government signed the agreement with China without consulting affected industries and the public, and now "you mobilized officials and legislative assistants to occupy the seats that were supposed to belong to the people," DPP Legislator Lin Shu-fen (林淑芬) said.
KMT Legislator Lin Hung-chih (林鴻池) said that it was against the rules to allow people to attend the meeting unless they have applied to attend beforehand.
At the hearing, several representatives of groups opposing the agreement emphasized the need for lawmakers to listen to people's opinions.
"We demand that the legislature hold a public hearing specifically for each industry and that all related information be made available before a public hearing is held," Chung Yuan Christian University associate professor of financial law Hsu Wei-chun (徐偉群) said.
The legislature should enact a law to regulate how the government assesses the impact of trade agreements on the nation and to require the government to present what policy it will adopt for industries covered by a trade pact following its implementation so people can better predict how the liberalization will affect local industries, Hsu said.
Terry Chang (張天立), president of online bookstore TAAZE and founder of books.com.tw, said he doubted that officials involved in the negotiations have a basic understanding of the industries covered by the agreement.

There are various kinds of lawn mowers available in the stores. With such a wide range to choose from, buying the right lawn mower for your particular yard can be quite an overpowering thought. However, a few basic guidelines can be of great help in this direction.
There is simply no dearth of models when it comes to selecting lawn mowers. They range from hand-operated walk behind, to cordless type, and from the robo-mowers to electric and gas mowers. Even in one particular category, you can have more than one option to choose from! No wonder the process of selection is overwhelming!
Without doubt, your most important criteria for selecting your lawn mower should be the area that you need to mow on a regular basis. A hand-operated mower can perfectly fit the bill if the area you have to mow is about an acre or less. Along with giving you a tidy and spruced up yard, such a mower can help you get rid of some of your extra calories too. However, for several acres of land, the hand mower is not the ideal choice. Though more economical, a hand-operated mower takes more time to mow acres of land, and is tedious too. Even a battery-operated mower is not a good option, as it needs a lot of care for keeping it in good running condition.
In case you happen to be an environment-loving person, putting in efforts to take care of the environment, then, in the best interest of the environment as well as your lawn, you need to go in for an electric mower!
Your concern for the environment will be the deciding factor in your choice of a mower. Though an electric powered grass destroyer is an ideal choice for environment reasons, on the local level; in the long run, however, there is need to look for substitute fuels and energy sources to protect the environment.
The need for an energy source to run the electric mower is the first requirement, and having to keep it running while using the mower may be a bothering thought. The gas powered-mower as another option is not very viable too as it is a source of pollution. Moreover, it is quite chaotic and problematic due to the continual fuel refilling.
For a big lawn, there is yet another kind of lawn tool that can be conveniently used, and it works safely, noiselessly, and mechanically – the robotic lawn mower. All you have to do with this one is – give it an electric supply and plan out the supply, allowing the mower to find it at specific points.
You will simply be amazed at the safety features of a robotic mower – it operates mechanically in a safe mode, ensuring complete safety of your family and pets. The mower automatically changes its path if your child walks into its path. Moreover, its blades stop rotating when it gets stuck. If you have large acres of land, a robotic mower saves you time and energy, and hence becomes the perfect choice!

We're at the end of the development road here, so its time to collect the info from the megathread so the same questions aren't answered ten times and people can submit interest for the final product.
If you are interested in a kit, please leave a post and/or send me an email at mikejmoffitt {at} gmail {dot} com.
What is NeoVGA?
NeoVGA is a mod accessory for an MVS, AES, CD*, and Capcom CPS2 system that provides high quality, accurate additional video outputs without lag. You can read about its development and theory here.
What is the price?
The price for a kit is $150. For volume options, contact me personally, especially if you are interested in offering it as a CMVS option.
You jerk, why is it expensive? It should be $50!
I was originally going to be manufacturing these by hand to save costs. However, that only works if I don't consider the value of my time investment. After building about 8 of these by hand I'm tired of it, so they're being manufactured in a factory in small runs by MacroFab. The first board from them came in and is excellent, so I feel fully confident going with them. Any profit from the price (and it's not much) is for the amount of time and resources I've put into this relatively niche project, and also buys you my attention should you have trouble and wish to send me an e-mail for help.
What video outputs do I get from NeoVGA?
NeoVGA will output all of these options:
- 480p VGA (640x480)
- 480p Component Video (YPbPr 640x480)
- 240p RGB (320x240)
- 240p Component Video (YPbPr 320x240)
The 480p modes are great for a modern LED-LCD, LCD, Plasma, or Projection setup. The 240p modes are great for driving a CRT; many WEGA series Trinitron TVs take 240p component very well.
Sync-on-green may be enabled for VGA mode as well for those who require it.
What is the installation like?
The installation is not hard, just tedious. A number of wires must be soldered to the Neo-Geo board - 19 bits for pixel data, 2 for control signals, one clock, power, and ground. 6 wires must go to the VGA port as well for output. Optionally, switches may be installed for options (or hard-wired).
As I get my hands on new Neo-Geo systems, I can create wiring diagrams. A general wiring guide is available for those who are using a system I have not yet been able to try. All of the Neo-Geo systems have the same points on them, but they are arranged differently in some. I would say this install requires a medium level of familiarity with electronics.
The clock wire must be short, and is ideally shielded. I use old wi-fi antennas to shield the clock. Because the clock goes through the 5V-tolerant buffers (to protect the FPGA), it is much more sensitive than usual. If you are having intermittent issues, especially on brighter flashing scenes, then it is likely that the clock line is too long or needs to be shielded.
The clock is the only tricky part. Here's a picture of how the coaxial cable can be grounded to the NeoVGA PCB's outer grounding ring for both grounding and stability:
I will be including a ~3-4" run of shielded wire for the clock. Because this wire is relatively short keep board positioning in mind.
Where is the wiring info?
A quick reference guide describing the board's pins: http://mikejmoffitt.com/neovga/docs/QuickReference.pdf
In addition, here are wiring diagrams for various PCBs: http://mikejmoffitt/com/neovga/diagrams
Will you install one for me?
I can't promise that kind of time commitment, but I will probably sell some MVS boards with the kit installed and ready to go. I'm sure many community members who are accustomed to working on CMVS and AES systems will be more than capable of offering assistance.
Why can't I just use the connections on the JAMMA edge?
NeoVGA pulls its video data digitally from the system before it ever goes analogue. This allows it to be relatively simple compared to a system that must use an ADC, possibly introduce a filter to correct errors, perform clock recovery, and have a buffer to render to. This kit is one that must be installed on the system itself, rather than as an external accessory.
How about scanlines?
NeoVGA has built-in scanline generation for 480p modes. Scanlines are synchronized to the VGA output and are always lined up correctly as a result (no "free-running" uglies). Scanlines may be darkened between 50% and 100%. On a monitor with a good scaler, the 100% scanlines look much like a BVM monitor.
Can it support other systems?
Theoretically any system with an exposed parallel pixel bus and at least double pixel clock can be supported. I have written firmware for it to support Capcom CPS2 (and probably CPS1) boards. Williams 1982 hardware will probably be supported at some point too (Joust, Robotron, Defender, Bubbles, Sinistar, etc). Most '80s and '90s arcade games can be supported, but it's a matter of me getting my hands on hardware and putting in the development time.
Many have asked about PGM boards. I'd have to look at the video DAC stage to know if the data can be pulled, so that's a maybe. Saturn/STV looks like a no from pictures of the PCB, but I could be wrong.
Is this better than transcoding my existing RGB into Component?
In general, just about any TV that has 480p component support or VGA support is going to handle those signals a lot better - they will mangle it a lot less. Many modern TVs support component video, but treat 240p as 480i which comes with plenty of downsides.
Does this have any lag?
The NeoVGA board does not introduce a noticeable amount of lag. Precisely, it introduces 1 / 262th of a frame of lag, which is one line's worth. It is up to your VGA or Component display to not introduce more lag. From my testing, most VGA monitors tend to introduce between 0-2 frames of lag for VGA scaling (from 640x480 to native panel res), and TVs with 480p Component support have similar results. One TV with a VGA to HDMI adapter had two frames of lag. In the better cases, this is comparable to a Framemeister, In just about every case it's far better than 240p component into a modern HDTV (no incorrect deinterlacing to worry about, no smearing).
How is compatibility?
So far, many monitors, TVs, and projectors have been tested. Here are some of the ones I've tested that have passed with flying colors:
-Viewsonic 19" TV with VGA
-Dell 1800FP
-Dell 2000FP
-Dell 2007FPb
-Dell 2407WFPHC
-Dell 2408WFP
-Some dell 17"
-Viewsonic 19" 1080p monitor
-Sony W600-series HDTV (480p component)
-LG 42" LCD (480p component, and VGA to HDMI)
-Samsung 940Be (480p and 240p RGB/VGA)
-A large 40" Sony Bravia TV (VGA; don't remember the model off hand)
-Many SDTV CRTs (240p component and RGB)
-Many CRT VGA monitors (480p)
Only one LCD TV has had trouble with it, the GPX TDE1580B.
Can I use a VGA to HDMI encoder?
Yes, provided your VGA to HDMI encoder is okay with the Neo-Geo signal and your TV is okay with the resolution. I used this one, and the results were great.
Is it okay if my Neo-Geo is overclocked?
Yes, that's okay - as long as you give the original 12MHz clock to the NeoVGA and not your new higher frequency signal.
I live outside of the US, will you put a low value on the customs form to reduce fees?
I'd love to help, but I'm not willing to lie, especially not on an official government document, sorry, so the answer is no.
Until I have a nice graphical guide ready, I can at least get started here:
The NeoVGA board requires connections to the Neo-Geo pixel bus. This data comes from the DAC section of the original Neo-Geo system. On every MVS and AES system (and probably CD systems) there is a section with many resistors, two 74HC273 D latches, and a 74LS05 or 74LS06. We also need the composite Sync signal, in digital form, before it has its voltage divided for the JAMMA edge, and the 12MHz clock, which goes to the CPU and a few other things. We are using this because it is 2x the 6MHz pixel clock the DAC uses.
For each Neo-Geo system, the wiring point locations are a little different. All are principally similar, and some even match. For ones that I've already reverse-engineered, I can provide wiring diagrams. For ones I haven't yet wired up, here is a general guide on identifying connections. Once it has been figured out, it would be best to collect this information so others don't have to go through the same bother.
Finding The Pxel Data:
The 74HC273 latches feature the 15 RGB bits (5 per channel). Each chip has 8 D latches, with an input and an output. The outputs of both '273s go to the resistor array, which forms the original DAC. By identifying which resistors feed which channel (RGB), and tracing back certain resistor values to the related '273 output, we can determine which pin corresponds to which bit. After identifying a '273 output, we want to take the data from the corresponding D latch input. The input is adjacent to the output; we want the D input for the related Q output. Here is an image of the 74HC273's pinout:
The 15 bits for RGB will be on the 74HC273s. These get wired to the RGB inputs on the NeoVGA board, labeled 0 - 4. Bits 5-8 may be ignored, as they are for future use.
The /CLR signal will be on pin 1 of either 74HC273. Choose either.
The /DAK and /SHAD signals will be connected to the 74LS05/74LS06. Similarly, we want the input for the data, not the output. In this case, using the output may cause more serious metastability issues. The DAK and SHAD signals are replicated 3 times, so you can choose any one of the three inputs to pull from for each. The '06 and '05 are pinned like this:
For tracing back from the resistors to the output of the chip in question, here is a list of resistors to map to bit values:
3.9k: Bit 0 (RGB)
2.2k: Bit 1 (RGB)
1k: Bit 2 (RGB)
470: Bit 3 (RGB)
220: Bit 4 (RGB)
8.2k: DAK
Remember: You want the input related to the output driving the resistors!
You can see this forms a very crude linear DAC, but it's not super accurate - plus, they are usually 5% resistors. NeoVGA will wind up providing you with a more consistent DAC, even in 240p RGB mode.
Finding the control signals:
We need a few other signals: /CSYNC and CLK12. /CSYNC is composite sync, in the digital form before it is reduced in value for the JAMMA edge. From the JAMMA edge you can trace back to find a resistor divider. The signal from before this divider is the one you want. This varies very much between systems, and just like the other signals it is worth recording the tap point for future reference. If you use the signal from the JAMMA edge, it may work, but act funky if an RGB source is connected as well.
For the 12MHz clock signal, this is easiest to find at the CPU's pin 15. The wire for this signal must be very short. The NeoVGA board is extra-sensitive on the clock, because it goes through a level-shifting buffer. As a result, a short wire is recommended. Even better, a shielded wire (like from a Wi-Fi antenna cable) is the best one to use, as its grounding sheath may be connected to the ground ring on the NeoVGA board and to the ground pin near the CPU's pin 15. This is the most important wire. The others may be longer, so place the NeoVGA board as close to the 12MHz clock as possible. It doesn't have to be from the CPU, as long as it's the same 12M signal. This will also vary from system to system, and is noted on wiring diagrams.
Wiring VGA outputs:
This one is up to you. The six pins on the right side of the NeoVGA board are for the VGA output. the R, G, and B pins go to VGA pins 1, 2, and 3. The HSync and VSync signals go to pin 13 and 14 respectively. Finally, VGA pins 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 should be connected to ground, which is the sixth pin on the NeoVGA board. The RGB wires should be shielded if they are going to be very long.
Wiring Power:
The lower-right of the board features two holes, one for Ground and one for a 5V connection. These should go to the main Ground and Power rails of your Neo-Geo board. Don't use a super-thin wire for either: NeoVGA only consumes around 150mA but it doesn't hurt to have extra thickness on your return path.
Component Video:
When enabled, the VGA output switches to Component Video. The SYNC signal is now mixed into the green channel, and the pins are remapped: VGA Red becomes Pr, VGA Green becomes Y, and VGA Blue becomes Pb. A common VGA-to-Component passive adapter will allow you to just use a VGA port and not have to wire a second port, which makes sense considering both aren't active at the same time anyway.
The HSync and VSync pins will continue to do their original thing in Component mode.
Configuration Jumpers:
At the top of the board are two chevron-shaped pads. The leftmost one will enable Sync-On-Green for VGA and RGB mode. The rightmost tells the NeoVGA board you are using an MV-1C, all-in-one-JAMMA, or other NEO-GRZ based system. This is to slightly modify the timings appropriately. Put a small solder blob to close the pad to enable these settings.
Scanlines, Component Video mode, and 240p mode are all user options. If the switches aren't installed, NeoVGA defaults to 480p VGA. The four option switches are in the top-left of the board, in a 2x4 pin array. Linking a hole on the right to the left enables the option: You may install a 2x4 header and use jumpers, or solder wires from the holes to switches. The pins on the right are the options, and the pins on the left are ground.
Programming Ports:
The 2x5 pin ports are for programming the NeoVGA board and aren't required (or populated) for the end-user. Don't mistakenly wire to these!
This one is up to you. NeoVGA has four holes for screws, should you wish to use them, but every Neo-Geo is a different shape and none have convenient mounting spots. The NeoVGA board should be close to the CPU clock, so you can't exactly mount it outside the board area. I usually tack it down firmly with some neatly placed hot glue for testing, but it's held quite well and the board is not expected to undergo any substantial mechanical shock. If you are designing a CMVS, you may be able to design a mounting system to utilize the screw holes.

Paul Sadala, a poacher-turned-militia leader known as "Morgan" who operated in Congo's Orientale province, surrendered on Saturday with around 40 of his followers.
He was being brought by the army to the town of Bunia when he attacked the soldiers escorting him, government spokesman Lambert Mende told Reuters.
"He caused a shootout which resulted in the deaths of two army soldiers and two of his own men. He tried to flee but suffered a serious injury," he said.
Mende said that Morgan was taken by helicopter for treatment but died on the way from excessive bleeding.
Morgan has repeatedly attacked populations in the Okapi Fauna Reserve, a World Heritage site, since 2012.
U.N. experts said in December he switched his focus from poaching elephants to attacking gold mines. They accuse him and his men of kidnapping people to carry looted goods and of forcing women into being sexual slaves for militia members.
They said in another report last July that former captives had told them the group, known as "Mai Mai Morgan", had engaged in cannibalism on several occasions.
Morgan's militia is just one part of a complex and deadly network of armed groups in Congo's lawless east. Most of these groups finance their operations by competing for control of Congo's vast deposits of minerals, including gold, diamonds, tin, copper and coltan.
In November, the Congolese army, alongside U.N. peacekeeping troops, defeated the main M23 rebel group, seen as the greatest threat to President Joseph Kabila in more than a decade.
The government has had an arrest warrant out for Morgan since November 2012 on charges of war crimes and crimes of sexual violence.
Government spokesman Mende said earlier on Monday that not all of Morgan's followers had surrendered and urged them to do so. Morgan's group operates deep in the jungle, a long way from where M23 was based, and its numbers are not known.
