About Me
Jennifer (mom of four)
I am a GRITS Girl (Girls raised in the South). I was born in Alabama and lived there up until May of 2005. I am a mom to four wonderful Children, three girls ages 16, 13, 8 and one boy age 11. I am an only child and my husband is the oldest of eight children. When we got married everyone asked about kids when we were having them and how many. The usual bombardment of questions during the first month of marriage. I knew I wanted more than one and my husband knew we wanted less than 8. So we compromised and had 4 children. I of course had no idea what I was getting my self into. I had no concept of the " she touched me ...No she touched me" . "She is looking at me funny." How did I survive being an only child???:-)

Accessories are the magical ingredients to complete any outfit. They can help add the finishing touches to mundane clothes and really let your personality shine through. My favorite is a cuff 'n' bracelets, and I love layering them. The more the merrier for me.
Because, there are so many different styles, shapes and bright hues to choose from, they are hard to resist. Take a look at the different style of cuffs and bracelets I found in these local boutiques. This is only a tip of the accessory iceberg of what's available in stores.

I hope that it eased the transition to know that I also cherish what we know about our ancestors. I've said it many times here before, any work I do in the arena of genealogy is done while standing tall on her shoulders... figuratively, of course because otherwise that would be elder abuse;) (Mom likes that joke.) There is, for all of her work, a built in succession plan, and she's trained this pip-squeak of a successor well, but I still have so much to learn from her.
Before I went to see her recently to celebrate her 96th birthday, she said quite a few times that she was retiring from genealogy. I guess I was reluctant to believe it, or maybe I didn't want to. But when I arrived I could see that she was serious. The binders were put away and the computer untouched. It made me sad. Yeah, I could see that she meant what she said about retiring.
But then I thought about it all and finally put it in perspective: Mom can rest, knowing she's made a real contribution. Cousin Rich had told me that Mom has built a tree that links together many, many families in the Morgan and Hampshire Counties of West Virginia, especially in the mid-1800s. It's landmark work, nothing as comprehensive out there, he indicated. I have seen for myself how important her work is and continues to be due to the numerous people who have contacted me because of her tree on Ancestry. You know her tree: Virginia Williams Kelly's Big Tree, the one with almost 70,000 people on it.
I asked Mom if I could "borrow" one of her books and she said, "Take what you want. I'm done with it." So I carefully went up to her room and started browsing to determine what I wanted. But I was melancholy doing it, I can tell you.
It marks the end of an era. I can easily remember the days when we were back and forth burning up the internet and the phone lines with what we'd found and comparing notes. By the time I got going on my own projects Mom was no longer making trips to court houses and libraries, so she'd slowed a bit already. For her to continue to slow was a natural progression.
Mom and I had a nice talk about it, in a round about sort of way. We both agreed that life events can sometimes limit our activities, and when that happens we need to get over ourselves as quickly as possible and start looking for a way to grow. Both she and I knew it was true from personal experience and chatted about ways in which events in our own lives had come to curtail certain activities. We concluded that it's our own individual responsibility to discover what's left that gives us joy and brings meaning. Life's never a static event, that's for sure!
As I got a bunch of her binders ready to take to the pack-and-ship place I saw it as the formal passing of the baton. I feel the responsibility to honor her work in the best ways that I can. It's a duty that I embrace, joyfully. I already have my inheritance and it's more valuable than a pot of gold!
I got sad, and now I'm glad. Thanks a million, Mom!

To spur development around Microsoft's Silverlight technology and the Windows Phone 7 (WP7) smartphone platform, McObject has changed its licensing and distribution for the Perst for .NET object-oriented, open source embedded database system.
For a limited time, Perst is available for use in commercial applications on WP7 for a one-time charge of $395 per developer, with free distribution in an application running on consumer mobile phones. This change eliminates run-time royalties, making it easier to distribute mass-market WP7 smartphone software that embeds Perst.
In addition, McObject has temporarily lowered Perst's price to $495 for use in a commercial Silverlight application that runs on a PC. The change discounts the previous server licensing fee by 38 percent. The new pricing is aimed at designers of rich Internet applications, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers, who deploy Perst in software that is accessed by client PCs (or other devices) to obtain Silverlight's out-of-browser experience, with local database storage.
Perst remains an open source database system that can be used freely under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL). Perst for .NET is available for free download here.
Developers questioning whether WP7 devices' tight memory, CPU, and storage constraints will permit use of a "real" embedded database can look to Perst's successful track record on BlackBerry smartphones. In 2006, McObject released Perst Lite, an edition of Perst for the Java ME technology used on BlackBerry. Since then, developers have successfully integrated Perst Lite in commercial and open source software for BlackBerry devices ranging from mobile customer relationship management (CRM) clients to banking, consumer, healthcare, and other vertical market solutions.
Perst and Perst Lite are part of McObject's family of small footprint, embedded database software products. The eXtremeDB in-memory embedded database, which is written in C and includes C/C++, SQL ODBC, and Java Native APIs, is used widely in devices including MP3 players, WiMAX base stations, digital TVs, telecom/network communications equipment, and military/aerospace technology. Perst is available in Java and .NET editions, including Java ME and .NET Compact Framework.
For more information about developing for Windows Phone 7, see Gaston Hillar's Developing a Silverlight UI for Windows Phone 7 in Dr. Dobb's Mobile Developer.

Michael Bauer - On the route to free infrastructure - FunkFeuer Vienna
And probably the last confirmed presentation (we are full!) from Michael Bauer at the Progressbar Opening Party on Saturday (19.2.2011) at 16:00:
Michael Bauer - On the route to free infrastructure - FunkFeuer Vienna
FunkFeuer networks are free infrastructure IP-networks in Austria. They
rely heavily on wireless lan and dynamic routing. In this talk I will
shortly touch upon the history of FunkFeuer in Austria, specifically
Vienna; elaborate a bit on fundamental rules and technologies; and finally
proceed to my vision of free infrastructure.
About me: I'm a geek of medical sciences (so far) grown to love mingling
with technology. Having free systems for me is vital to satisfy my thirst
for knowledge. Along my way I was a founding member of the Chaos Computer
Club Erfa in vienna which pretty much dissolved into the Metalab. In 2003
me and some friends collaborated with quintessenz (the austrian digital
civil liberties defense squat) to create a free and anonymous access point.
This got us attention from other places and we were offered to take over a
formerly provider run W-LAN network. We knew what to do.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish losses from gains. The world we live in constantly changes and so how to make sense of it all? What is the relationship between mind and body when the mind's world is built from the body's sensations? What will we be when we return from war, from love? Who will we be in the post-human machine world? How will genetic manipulation change us and our representation of ourselves? The Told World contemplates some themes of 'The Pastoral' in a contemporary world and explores the stories that can be told from that chiaroscuro.
'"With this fine collection Gardner's work achieves what one poem describes as 'beauty itself / taut against the half-life rendering.' Human experience is the shadow cast by these poems, and not the other way around. 'A wholeness ghost-licked or absent / gets caught in the machinery,' Gardner observes, and yet these fearlessly unhaunted poems serve to backlight the ghosts that gather at their edges, that any reader brings to bear upon these stanzas' precise attentions." —G.C. Waldrep
'"Angela Gardner's exhilarating work pushes the materiality of language with all its smart, nimble coherencies and her inimitable wit against the immateriality of ideas almost always grasping 'the telling space of it'. With immense, high-wire verve, Gardner flits between living in the inconsequential, dismissive social world and the lofty dreaming of an artist's envisioning truth. Her syntax mirrors these splits and severs and then is healed with passionate and lyrical engagement." —Cherry Smyth' (Publication summary)

My favorite worldwide trend....comedy shows in countries throughout Europe (and now beyond) making videos making their claim to being "second best in world" since Trump has declared America First! The Dutch kicked it off, the video weent viral, now inspiring at least two dozen others everywhere, even supposedly Mars, all mocking Trump (and shockingly up to date on details of his own claims and language). There's now a web site posting the videos, Every Second Counts, just click on country on their map.
I'll post as many as I can below, starting with Holland, which kicked it off:

Jurkiewicz and Lyles Star in Western Australia
Frenchman Jeremy Jurkiewicz executed a flawless performance while American Elizabeth Lyles had the hot feet to bag the biggest wins of their careers at SunSmart IRONMAN Western Australia in Busselton.
Jurkiewicz, who spent a month in Australia with his family, shared the early lead with Australian Luke Bell, but when the Victorian withdrew midway through the bike, the Frenchman took over and withstood all challenges to win in 8:08.15.
In the women's race, Lyles waited to unleash on the run, coming from eight minutes back off the bike (behind German Mareen Hufe and local star Lisa Marangon) to storm through the field.
The American, who only turned professional last year, ran a three hour flat marathon to win in 8:59.43, just 19 seconds outside the race record.
Men's Race:
In the opening swim leg Bell and Jurkiewicz managed to open up a 14-second gap on Guy Crawford, David Dellow, Alex Reithmeier and Andreas Raelert.
At the end of the first of three laps on the bike the leaders, Bell and Jurkiewicz, had cleared out, putting time into the chase group, who were now over two minutes down.
Disaster struck at the 70km mark for Raelert, first with a mechanical issue then a recurrence of a pinched nerve in his back that also forced him out of the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii. Raelert had hoped for redemption here in Busselton to put the disappointment of failing to finish in Kona behind him, but it was not to be.
"I'm so disappointed, I was very excited to be racing here today," said Raelert.
Just 20 km later Bell was also forced to pull out, unable to continue after doing damage to his knee.
Jurkiewicz suddenly found himself leading the race and, spurred on by this unexpected position, the Frenchman forged ahead over the last lap of the bike and headed into the final change-over with a four minute lead.
Australian Matty White was the first to challenge, as did compatriot David Dellow, but both fell away as Germany's Markus Thomschke pushed through on the run. No-one could challenge Jurkiewicz, however, who enjoyed the day's best run of 2:48 to claim his second IRONMAN victory and by far the most important of his career.
Thomschke fought through on the run to claim second ahead of leading Australian David Dellow.
"It was a crazy race, I give all on the bike and on the run I pushed and pushed and pushed and then and I won with a crazy time," Jurkiewicz said. "I had a six-minute lead, but I said to myself 'keep pushing.' I knew that I could get a good time, so I pushed for the line."
Women's Race:
In the women's race Lisa Marangon set herself up nicely, exiting the swim with a three minute lead over Kate Bevilaqua, Liz Lyles and Rebecca Preston, with Michelle Bremer, Julia Grant, Rebecca Hoschke and Germany's Mareen Hufe trailing behind them.
Marangon continued to extend her lead in the early stages of the bike leg, but by the end of the first lap Bremer had reduced the deficit to a minute. Lyles, Bevilaqua and Hufe also continued to take time from Marangon.
Bremer had the 33-year-old Marangon in her sights, but ran out of fuel, with Hufe making the big move to lead the women's race at the 130 km mark. She had a healthy lead off the bike, but Lyles absolutely flew to claim the lead by the halfway point of the marathon.
The American was in a class of her own to record her second IRONMAN victory after winning in Wisconsin last year in her debut season after taking four years off for the birth of two children. She was close to Gina Crawford's race record, but well clear of all challenges, with nine minutes back to Hufe in second and 20 minutes ahead of Marangon.
Earlier pre-race favourite Rebecca Hoschke suffered the effects of a recent heavy racing schedule, having to withdraw in the last stages of the bike.
"It was a fantastic day. It is true what I have been told, that this IRONMAN is one of the best because of the crowd," Lyles said. "I knew I could not give up too much time on the bike with some of the great bike runners in the field. I am the happiest I have been in my whole life."
Nearly 1,600 competitors joined the professional field this morning to make their IRONMAN journey to the hallowed ground that is the finish line and celebrate their achievement at the 10th anniversary of the SunSmart IRONMAN Western Australia event.

British actor Michael Sheen has sparked rumors he is dating comedian Sarah Silverman after the pair were spotted getting close at a party in Los Angeles.
The two partied together at the bash in West Hollywood last Thursday, according to Usmagazine.com.
An eyewitness tells the publication, "They were making out at Soho House. They were all over each other for a lot of the night."
Silverman also attended Sheen's 45th birthday party at Craig's restaurant in Los Angeles last week along with Demi Moore, Sheen's "Masters of Sex" co-star Lizzy Caplan, and his former partner Kate Beckinsale.
A source says, "Sarah and Michael came and left together. She drove. When they left, Sarah opened her trunk so Michael could put all of his gifts in and then they drove away."
Sheen and Beckinsale split in 2003 after eight years together, while his relationship with actress Rachel McAdams came to an end in 2013.
Silverman previously dated talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Instant Pot Crispy Carnitas
This Instant Pot Carnitas recipe is quick and easy to make in the pressure-cooker, and it's SO flavorful and juicy and delicious!
Are you all as in love with the Instant Pot as I am?
I'll be the first to admit that I was a little reluctant last year to dive into the craze when everyone started cooking with them. Pressure cookers used to scare the crap out of me growing up, and I didn't have room in my apartment for any more kitchen appliances, and frankly, I was already perfectly content with my slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté pans, and steamer, thankyouverymuch. But after hearing enough friends rave about their Instant Pots and the 5 million brilliant things that they are able to do, I finally bit the bullet and broke my I-don't-buy-things-on-Black-Friday resolution and ordered one for half price that day on Amazon. (Ok, and then let's be honest, promptly stared at it sitting there in my kitchen for about a month. Resistant to change much? ?)
But, once I finally swallowed my pride and geared up my courage to set that knob to "sealing" and give it a try, I could not believe how quickly and how perfectly it cooked so many of my favorite recipes! My favorite slow cooker barbacoa beef, teriyaki chicken, and beef stew all ready to go in less than an hour! My favorite butternut squash soup, lentil soup, and potato soup all ready to go in less than 40 minutes! No-soak beans ready in 45 minutes! Perfectly-cooked rice in 15! Pasta in 8!
All the things! Less time! And so far — perfectly cooked, every time!
As someone who nerds out over efficiency in life, I admit that I'm now 100% sold on this thing. (And recommending it to everyone who asks.) And my favorite recipe thus far that I've been recommending to my friends? These incredibly juicy, crispy flavorful, and super-speedy Instant Pot Carnitas.
Instant Pot Carnitas Recipe | 1-Minute Video
Well, really, you can make just about any kind of carnitas with this method (including the ingredients in my traditional Slow Cooker Crispy Carnitas recipe, which I totally love). But lately, I've been hooked on cooking with Cuban mojo sauce, which is a yummy (and ultra-easy) marinade made with lots of fresh citrus juice and lots and lots of garlic. Two of my faves.
Simply sear some big chunks of pork in the Instant Pot. (Love its speedy "Saute" setting!) Then pour in your marinade, and set it to pressure cook for 30 minutes on high, and then naturally vent for 15-20 minutes afterwards.
Once the pork is ready to go, give it a good shred with two forks. Then — my favorite tip for any sort of slow-cooked (or pressure-cooked) meat — transfer it to a large baking sheet and pop it under the broiler for 5 minutes to crisp up those edges. Remove, toss the pork with some of the remaining juices, then broil and toss again.
And in less than an hour, this amazing batch of crispy, juicy, ultra-tasty pork carnitas will be yours to enjoy.
Feel free to serve it up in tacos like I did…
…with this simple pineapple salsa that I made (or you can stick with traditional chopped onions and cilantro, to make them "street taco" style).
Or, of course, feel free to use the carnitas however else you'd like — burritos, rice bowls, salads, quesadillas, youuuuu name it. Can't to go wrong with these guys.
Cheers to fancy new technology making life a little easier…and even more delicious.
Instant Pot Crispy Carnitas
These Instant Pot Crispy Carnitas are super quick and easy to make with a pressure cooker, and marinated in the most delicious Cuban mojo sauce!
Instant Pot Crispy Carnitas Ingredients:
- 1 (4-5 pound) lean boneless pork roast, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2-inch chunks
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 batch mojo sauce (see below)
- for serving: chopped fresh cilantro leaves and fresh salsa (I used the pineapple salsa below)
Mojo Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup beer (or chicken stock)
- 1 head of garlic, cloves separated, peeled and minced
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
Optional: Fresh Pineapple Salsa
- 2 cups finely-diced fresh pineapple
- 1/2 cup finely-chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup finely-diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely-diced
- salt and pepper
To Make The Instant Pot Crispy Carnitas:
- In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the mojo sauce (see below).
- Season pork chunks on all sides with salt and pepper.
- Click the "Saute" setting on the Instant Pot. Add oil and half of the pork, and sear — turning every 45-60 seconds or so — until the pork is browned on all sides. Transfer pork to a separate clean plate, and repeat with the other half of the pork, searing until browned on all sides. Press "Cancel" to turn off the heat.
- Pour in the mojo sauce, and toss briefly to combine. Close lid securely and set vent to "Sealing".
- Press "Meat", then press "Pressure" until the light on "High Pressure" lights up, then adjust the up/down arrows until time reads 30 minutes. Cook. Then let the pressure release naturally, about 15 minutes. Carefully turn the vent to "Venting", just to release any extra pressure that might still be in there. Then remove the lid.
- Turn on the oven broiler to High.
- Shred the pork with two forks. Then transfer it with a slotted spoon to a large baking sheet. Spoon about a third of the leftover juices evenly on top of the pork. Then broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges of the pork begin browning and crisping up. Remove the sheet from the oven, then ladle a remaining third of the juices from the Instant Pot evenly over the pork, and then give it a good toss with some tongs. Broil for an additional 5 minutes to get the meat even more crispy. Then remove and ladle the final third of the juices over the pork, and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, then serve immediately in tacos, burritos, salads, or whatever sounds good to you! Or, refrigerat pork in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
To Make The Mojo Sauce:
- Whisk all ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl until combined.
To Make The Pineapple Salsa:
- Toss all ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, also adding in extra lime juice if desired.

Can you sub pork tenderloin for the pork you used?
I want to make this but do not have an IP, can this be done in a slow cooker?
Use a Dutch oven instead of slow cooker. It will taste better. You'll have to cook for a lot longer than using a pressure cooker like the instapot
What kind of beer did you use? TIA
would you change the recipe at all if you have an instapot mini? It's only 3 QTs, I see you call for 6QT or bigger…
Not if you can fit the recipe in your port before the max line. I have a six qt and it was not where near half full.
I added the oregano but did slice a fresh small jalapeño seeds and all to the pot and it was delicious.
If I double this recipe, how long should cook it for in the instant pot? Thanks! Can't wait to try this!
I would do the same amount of time. It's just going to take longer to come up to pressure and release pressure.
What about substituting beef broth for the beer? Would that impact the overall flavor in a good or bad way? Curious…
I cut mine into very large pieces so I could just pull it apart from the fat before broiling. It would waste a lot of time and possibly meat to cut it off prior to cooking.
First time using the sautee setting on my instant pot and it sucks! It takes so long, I rather do it on the stove top!
Try next time to adjust the sauté temp. There's a high med and low. Maybe yours was on low?
Pork shoulder is pork butt. It's the butt end of the shoulder and unless it's a very small piece has bone in it. You had the right piece of meat.
These were delicious!!! I think I'll be making this all the time!!! Yummy!!!!

The Colts have placed running back Vick Ballard on injured reserve and have promoted rookie tailback Kerwynn Williams from the practice squad to replace him.
The roster move was disclosed in the NFL's Friday transactions.
The Colts' starting tailback, Ballard suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in a practice drill on Thursday.
The 5-foot-8, 195-pound Williams led the Colts in rushing in the preseason, gaining 169 yards on 41 carries. He was one of the Colts' two seventh-round picks in April. Williams, 22, played at Utah State, rushing for 2,515 yards for the Aggies.
Williams is listed as the Colts' third-string running back behind veterans Ahmad Bradshaw and Donald Brown.

When it comes to AMD Radeon HD 7970 video cards, one of the most sought after cards is the ASUS MATRIX HD 7970 Platinum graphics card that is available under the part number MATRIX-HD7970-P-3GD5 for $499.99 shipped. This card has the AMD Radeon HD 7970 'Tahiti' GPU core clocked at 1100 MHz and the 3GB of Hynix GDDR5 RAM is clocked at 1650 MHz (6600 MHz effective). The stock core clock on the AMD Radeon HD 7970 is 925 MHz, so this card features a 175MHz core clock increase. This is a 18.9% improvement, so it already has a fairly hefty overclock on it from the factory. Don't think for one second that is all that ASUS has changed on this card. ASUS basically took the factory reference design and threw it out the window. The companies engineers in Taiwan burnt the midnight oil and came up with an entirely custom card. Pretty much the only thing on this video card that is similar to the original design is the GPU itself. Is that radical enough for you? You can run out and get the lowest cost AMD Radeon HD 7970 for around $387 shipped after rebates, so hopefully all these customizations will make up for the ~$110 price premium that this card carries.
Let's cut the chit-chat and start looking at the ASUS Matrix HD 7970 Platinum 3GB video card!
As you can see from the image above, the ASUS Matrix HD 7970 is a very nice looking video card that is primarily black with some red accent touches. The red and black color scheme is pretty much standard on ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) products, so this video card will complement an ROG motherboard for example. Once you take in the colors, you'll see that ASUS is using the DirectCU II dual-fan GPU cooling technology to help keep the card nice and cool.
Notice that this card takes up three expansion slots, so it is a very big card. How big? Well, our measurements put the Matrix HD 7970 at 11.1875″ in length and 5″ in height! The card feels great as well with a solid build construction thanks to a metal back plate and metal fan shroud. The Matrix HD 7970 weighed in a 3lbs 2oz, so why ASUS used metal backplates and brackets to keep the PCB nice and straight.
As we mentioned earlier ASUS is using their DirectCU II technology on this card. This means that it has five 8mm copper heat pipes that are directly touching the GPU and then three of them go to one aluminum cooling fin array and two to a block directly over the GPU. Each of the independent cooling fin sections has a 100mm fan blowing directly over them. ASUS says these two fans deliver 6x more airflow and are 3x quieter than the AMD reference design, resulting in a 20% lower operating temperatures despite the overclock. These fans are also 'dust proof' in design, so they will stay cleaner inside the motor housing and last longer than standard fans. ASUS also offers independent control of the fans.
On the reverse side of the ASUS MATRIX HD 7970 Platinum we see that ASUS fitted this card with a full length black backplate. This is not just for
looks as it protects the components on the back of the PCB from being
damaged. It doesn't do anything in terms of cooling though as it doesn't
directly touch the PCB and no memory chips are located on the back of
the card. The card does have plenty of holes across it, which help for air circulation and reduce weight.
Notice that ASUS moved the SAP CAP capacitors away from the GPU. These are usually directly behind the GPU, but were moved to accommodate extreme overclockers GPU pots.
Directly above the GPU you might have noticed that there is a large black component clearly visible through the backplate. This is the iROG controller and it handles all the PLL and vMEM voltages on the card.
It also controls the VGA hotwire features. ASUS uses a 20-phase Super Alloy Power technology on this card and told use they used industrial components on it to ensure a long operating life.
Along the right edge of the card you'll see one of the many features that make this card stand out from the crowd. This is called the VGA Hotwire corner and is where ASUS has placed the connector for monitoring the Vcore and various solder points additional tweaks that overclockers often use. VGA hotwire allows for additional voltage to be supplied to the card for the GPU Core, Memory and PLL. In addition it also provides monitoring. This is independent of the standard Probe points for referencing of voltages on the card. As you can tell, ASUS designed the Matrix HD 7970 with heavy focus on overclockers and power users.
You need to feed tons of power to a beast of a video card like this,
so ASUS equipped the card with two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Assuming
the card can pull the proper 150W from the PCI Express 3.0 slot and
each of the 8-pin power connectors it means that this card has 450W of
power going to it. Due to this ASUS suggests a 650W power supply with a
+12V current rating of 42A for proper operation of the entire PC. ASUS has a pair of LED lights under each PCIe power connector. These two
LED lights are a form of quick diagnostic for issues when connecting
power to the video card. Depending on the presence or lack of presence
of power connections ( or secure fitting ) the card will display an LED –
RED or Green. Green meaning power connections are correct and Red
meaning power connections are not.
To the left of the power connectors you'll see the PLL and Vmem hotwire connectors. As you can see ASUS has made it pretty easy to volt-mod the Matrix HD 7970!
The ASUS MATRIX HD 7970 can be run in Crossfire and has a pair of Crossfire bridges located along the top edge of the card. You should be able to run four of these together in 4-way CrossFireX in theory, but with each one taking up 3 PCI expansion slots there isn't a desktop case or motherboard that would support that.
Take note that ASUS also has a BIOS switch, but it it not a BIOS switch. It changes the vBIOS display output functionality allowing for a 6-way Eyefinity setup (2 single links) or a 5-way (single link and dual link). Differences in display resolution will occur to the DVI ports under this configuration.
At the end of the PCB you'll see that ASUS has placed their "TweakIt' technology on the actual PCB, so you can adjust hardware voltage in real-time as well as turning the fan speed up to 100%. By pressing the '+' or '-" button you adjust the GPU
core voltage up to +0.125V in 10 jumps ranging from 1.270V to 1.335V. This is great for
overclocking as you can be running a benchmark and if you start to see artifacts or issues you can just click these buttons for more or less power.
The 'safe mode' button is one that is seldom used when things are going right, but saves your butt when crap hits the fan. By pushing this button it resets the
graphics card back to the default clock frequencies and voltages! Think
of it like a clear CMOS button for a motherboards BIOS. This switch is a
life-saver as it keeps you from possibly bricking the card during an
extreme overclock. Enthusiasts and overclockers will certainly
appreciate this feature as it takes some of the worry out of
overclocking, so you can focus on having fun. Above those three buttons you have the 100% fan speed turbo button. This button puts the fans at 100% power with just a click of a button. There are also 10 LED lights to show you how far you've increased the voltage.
Since the ASUS MATRIX HD 7970 takes up three expansion slots, ASUS was able to run pretty much any video connection types that they wanted due to all the space. At the end of the day you can see that ASUS went with a pair of DVI-D outputs that are rated to support resolutions up to 2560×1600 (2048×1536 w/ D-Sub). You also have four full size Display Port connectors! It's nice to have regular sized outputs as you don't need any adapters. If you want to run a three panel setup with DVI cables then you will need an adapter and you'll also need adapters if you want to run HDMI.
Lastly, we have the 'MATRIX LED load Indicator' located along the top edge of the video card. ASUS uses five multicolored LED indicators behind the word 'MATRIX' at the top of the card to give you a visual display of the current GPU load on the card. Most gamers will see it blue (at idle) and red (under load).
If you look under the fan shroud and above the PCB you'll see the "high endurance frame" (the metal black part above the PCB) that ASUS uses to keep the card straight and it actually acts as a heatsink for some of the boards power management.
This card uses ASUS DIGI+ VRM with 20 phase Super Alloy Power, so it is very beefy. We were going to take apart the card to show you the PCB components, but you have to remove the red decals that are glued down in order to take off the fan shroud. We didn't want to glue the card back together, so we didn't do this. We could have removed the entire GPU cooler from the backside, but that would mean that we have to clean off the thermal compound and we wanted to leave that alone for temperature testing reasons down the road.
Here is a shot provided by ASUS of the bare PCB. You can clearly see the twelve Hynix GDDR5 memory chips that make up the cards 3GB of memory and the 20 power phases. As you can see ASUS has customized this card from top to bottom!
If you have any more questions on the Matrix HD 7970 video card we found a great video done by JJ over at ASUS. He took an in-depth look at the Matrix HD 7970 graphics card in a 30 minute long video that covers everything in great detail. You can also download the reviewers guide that ASUS gave us here. In this guide you'll find some additional details on on the cards layout if you still have feature questions.
Now that you have read nearly 2,000 words about the ASUS HD 7970 Matrix Platinum 3GB video card and its features we can check out the bundle and get to testing!

ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves, who began the night with the most home runs in the majors, showed they can win playing small ball.
Now Washington's Stephen Strasburg must show his right arm is completely healthy.
Andrelton Simmons hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, then made an eye-popping play to start the ninth as Atlanta beat the Nationals 3-2 on Monday night and ended their four-game losing streak.
"We battled and did the little things right," said Simmons, the second-year shortstop. "We got the bunt down. We got the sacrifice fly to get the run in."
Washington manager Davey Johnson said Strasburg, who was pulled after six innings, has "a little tightness" in his right forearm.
Johnson said Strasburg was seen by a doctor after the game.
"That was a tough one," said Johnson of the loss. "But the main thing I was a little concerned about was Strasburg."
Strasburg, who had lost a career-worst four-straight starts leading up to the game, said he'll be able to make his next scheduled start. He is 1-4 with a 3.13 ERA.
Strasburg appeared to struggle to get comfortable on the mound. Johnson also noticed, saying Strasburg "doesn't look right to me."
"He was shaking his elbow more frequently," Johnson said, adding Strasburg didn't complain "but he was irritable."
"I was really concerned," Johnson said. "Any other time, I might have let him continue. Hopefully, it's no more than a tired arm or something."
Strasburg gave up six hits, four walks and two runs in six innings, striking out eight.
Strasburg insisted he "felt good" but struggled with his control.
"I couldn't throw strikes early on," Strasburg said. "I was able to kind of battle through it and keep it close."
Atlanta beat the Nationals for the eighth straight time dating to last season. The Braves swept three games at Washington earlier this month.
Ian Desmond off the ninth with a slow grounder that Simmons charged. Simmons slipped as he fielded the ball and fell on his backside, but somehow fired a strike from the seat of his pants that first baseman Freddie Freeman caught by making a long stretch.
"That's the first time I've ever seen two guys do a split on the same play at the same time," Braves closer Craig Kimbrel said.
Desmond was called out on a close play, and disagreed with the decision. Johnson came out to argue with umpire Tim Timmons.
Simmons was able to laugh about his awkward but successful throw.
"I just lost my footing," Simmons said. "It was a little muddy. Fortunately, we've got Freddie helping out there. ... Sometimes you've got to improvise to get it done."
The Braves began the night with 36 homers, one ahead of the Yankees for the lead. Against the Nationals, Atlanta's only extra-base hit was a double by starting pitcher Julio Teheran.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Teheran, who allowed 10 hits and two runs in 5 1-3 innings, showed his growth by escaping jams as the Nationals left six runners on base.
"We're watching him grow up in front of our eyes," Gonzalez said.
Gerald Laird led off the Braves' seventh with a walk from Tyler Clippard (1-1). Laird moved up on pinch-hitter Tyler Pastonicky's sacrifice bunt and was held at third on Jordan Schafer's single.
Simmons' fly ball to right allowed Laird to slide safely headfirst across the plate.
Jordan Walden (1-0) struck out three in 1 2-3 hitless innings.
Eric O'Flaherty struck out two in a perfect eighth and Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his ninth save.
Strasburg's first pitch of the game sailed to the backstop. He walked Schafer, who stole second and scored on Justin Upton's soft single.
Freeman followed Upton's hit with a single to left field, but took a wide turn around first and was thrown out. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez argued the call with Timmons at first base, and replays indicated Freeman's hand was on the bag before he was tagged.
Former Braves star Chipper Jones visited his former teammate and hunting buddy Adam LaRoche, now the Nationals' first baseman, before the game. Jones, who has said he has possible interest in becoming a hitting coach, watched video with LaRoche of the slumping left-handed hitter's swing.
The video review with Jones must have helped as LaRoche led off the second inning with a single to snap his 0-for-26 drought. LaRoche's hit started a string of four straight singles, including run-scoring hits by Chad Tracy and Kurt Suzuki, to give Washington a 2-1 lead.
Freeman walked to lead off the fourth, and singles by Dan Uggla and Laird made it 2-all.
Washington's Jayson Werth crumpled to the ground after fouling a ball off his left foot in the eighth. He completed his at-bat - a strikeout - and was replaced in right field by Roger Bernadina in the bottom of the inning.
Notes: Braves RF Jason Heyward sat at his clubhouse locker but clearly was far from full strength one week after having his appendix removed. Heyward said he hopes to return no later than the May 24-26 series at the Mets. He said his doctor's instructions include "No spinning, no twisting, no lifting the dog." ... Washington C Wilson Ramos was activated from the 15-day DL but did not play as Johnson said he wanted to be careful not to push the strained left hamstring. C Jhonatan Solano was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. ... Schafer stole two bases. ... The series continues Tuesday night when Braves RHP Tim Hudson goes for his 200th career win, facing Washington LHP Gio Gonzalez.

High Country Horses - Queeenstown / Glenorchy : DO NOT miss out on this!
If you only do one activity whilst you are in New Zealand, make sure you head out on the day ride with High Country Horses... you will love it!
The question has to be where do you start to describe the truly amazing experience we had out and about with High Country Horses ..? The whole day was an absolute dream from start to finish and we simply cannot wait to get back there and do it all again ..!
We were picked up in the morning from our hotel in Queenstown and were taken the 45 minutes by road down to Glenorchy and on to Paradise – where, by the way, the place more than lives up to its name, calling it Paradise is putting it mildly – it surpasses anything you have ever or will ever see in terms of the stunning scenery.
The trip along the road was very comfortable and our driver / guide filled us in with all the info, facts and figures we would need to know together with really interesting stories along the way. We paused for a photo stop at Bennett's Bluff which takes in views to Glenorchy, Paradise, Mt Nicholas High Country Station, the very impressive Earnslaw Glacier, Mt Alfred and other cloud piercing snow capped mountains. I am really not fibbing when I say that the even the postcard shoots of the region cannot do the place justice – it really is jaw dropping stuff!
When we reached the stable yard you could see the horses all tacked and ready for their day out! After a small bit of obligatory paper work we were decked out with all the equipment you would need – right down to footwear. I am sure that High Country Horses carries gum boots in the biggest range of colours and sizes you have ever seen – there is a pair for everyone! And so armed with a wind proof oil skin jacket and a small saddle bag (again both courtesy of High Country Horses!) we made our way out to meet and greet our trusty steads for the day!
We were expertly matched with our horses and I immediately fell in love with Meade. He is such a sweetie – a real gentle horse! He has a beautiful temperament and I felt 100% safe on him. Of course, he is an animal and I am pleased to say that he has a mind of his own. Just like me, he loves to snack (chocolate for me ... willow branches for Mead) and just as I need a beady eye on me at all times in my fav chocolate shop ... so too do most horses heading through their version of a choccie shop ... aka willow banked rivers! It's simple enough stuff and the guides give you full instructions on how to move your horse on – I know it would be harder for them to move me on in a choc shop then it is for us to move these gorgeous horses on ...!!
Heading out of the yard and onto the river banks the scenery simply opens up as you zig zag your way across The Rees River and up into the upper reaches of the river and into the National Park. Under safe and expert guidance from our lovely guide we were able to first trot and then canter through the lupin fields as we made our way past several places where Lord Of The Rings was filmed right up to the base of the Invincible Mine where we stopped for lunch.
Lunch was supplied by High Country Horses and it was delicious. All dietary requirements were catered for and the lunch was more than enough! The horses also had a fill up on the lush grass and we went off to explore the small waterfall and crystal clear stream running into the larger river bed. Pausing to take in the moment you really felt privileged – the wonderful company, the horses, the scenery, the experience, the silence, the sunshine on your face all coupled with knowing you were exploring areas that many can only dream of is something super special.
After a the rest we were back on the horses again and riding through native NZ bush before taking a turn up the hill and through what is known in the region as the 2000 gate. Here for those that wanted we were able to take off the brakes and go for a real run up the hill through the manuka bushes up to the top of the hill and WOW..!. Not only was your heart beating from the gallop up the hill but the views from the top were simply out of this world .. a full 240 degree panorama over Glenorchy, Paradise, The Greenstone Valley, the Rees River and Dart River bed is something that I simply cannot find the words to describe .... you have to head up there for yourself! We waited for the others who did not want to gallop to join us where we were like paparazzi at a Lady Gaga concert ...! We were non stop taking photos and video of the views and of the awesome horses who had looked after us so well – we were simply grinning from ear to ear...!
We made our way down the hill and back through the lupin fields, zig zagging back across the river back to the yard to end our amazing day in the saddle – and what a day it was.
I have tried my best to describe the day but just like trying to describe the location, the experience with High Country Horses is every superlative you can imagine could never even begin to come close to describe what an incredible amazing day we had.
If you only do one activity whilst you are in New Zealand, make sure you head out on the day ride with High Country Horses... you will love it!

Pinguino from Caminandes 3. This character was rigged using BlenRig5 ***(beta)***. To see the BlenRig panel, you need to have the addon installed.
This file (and BlenRig, and pretty much any file with drivers or Python stuff on it) won't work properly unless you have "Auto Run Python Scripts" enabled in the user preferences, or click 'Reload Trusted' on the info bar on the top when loading the file.
I when i open it i dont see the BlenRig Panel, i tried with victor's rig too and i dont get it either... is it a problem on my version?, i got it yesterday from the buildbot... i have autorun scripts on... any ideas?
Me too, I also don't see the BlenRig panel. I'm going to go explore & see what I find.New Solution Shoes Asics Speed FF Tennis Clay 2018 Womens rgZx8Ewrq
We just published the first Beta of the addon. You need to have it installed and activated to see the panel. The addon is still being developed by Juan Pablo Bouza, let him know your comments and suggestions in the blog RTRY White US7 5 Heel Black Ivory Spring Lace 5 Wedding Summer Fall Red CN38 Flower Women'S Flat UK5 EU38 rqOwFx6r7
Oh, you're right, much better solution, thanks Andy.
Thank you! I wouldn't have been able to figure it out on my own! Even after your explanation it took me a while to find the node :D
I'm off to a good start - looks FANTASTIC !!! Bring the BlenRig_5_beta.py into your text editor and hit the Run Script Button. Done.
No. simply go to your blender preferences and hit 'install from file', then select the .py
Note that The latest script only works with the rigs from Caminandes, Cosmos Laundromat rigs need the version used in that project. I'll update all my rigs so that they can use the latest version in the future!
Hey! Thanks for the note, I've added the production version of BlenRig to the characters section so people can use it with the rigs. Can't wait for the update! Thanks :D
Hi! first of all, kudos for the rig and the model, great stuff! Now, I did a test anim and noticed there are some random spots on around the belly, any idea what is causing that?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swZJDMqMDGYMetallic Phenom EP Ridge Rock Women's US PUMA B Beige 8 5 nFUgqRTxw
Awesome anim! Eek! sorry that would be my fault. the spots were mapped to random texture coordinates, so that when we instance a number of penguins, they would each get a different pattern. This technique uses the Generated Coordinates, which works fine apparently for the body mesh, but not for the fur particles. I switched the mapping to use the UVs instead, we will replace this file with the fixed version.
It's great to see people putting these characters to good use, stay tuned! :) Andy
should be fixed now! Thanks for the feedback! :D
ermm, today the cloud seems to considere that I'm not loged in each time I try to download a file :S any idea?
Hi! And many thanks for this awesome tool!!
This Pinguino looks great, and could be a very good example to start using BlenRig5, however there is an issue somewhere in the script; when I open the file, the terminal prints the following error continuously:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/polosson/.config/blender/2.76/scripts/addons/BlenRig-master-2aa1dedf8fddd732b561bc358b2cf9201a3d03dd/ui_panel_controls.py", line 1086, in draw
if arm_bones['properties_arm_R']["toggle_fingers_R"] == 1:
KeyError: 'bpy_struct[key]: key "toggle_fingers_R" not found'
And the Panel doesn't show everything (no Armature layer, incomplete body picker, and nothing more below). Is that because this file was using the beta version of BlenRig5, and I have installed the official release?
How can I fix this (without having to install beta version)? Or should I wait for someone to update this file with good settings? Thanks again!
Cheers :)
Hi @polo: , yes, this might lead to confusion. Pinguino is not meant to work with the latest BLenRig, the Caminandes 3 version of the addon should be used if you want to have a panel in that rig.
I will update all these "old" characters at some point, so that they can work with the latest BlenRig.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Haha, don't be sorry you made an awesome job, you're my coding hero! What a patience!
And I'll try to be patient as well, waiting for this cute penguin to be fully BlenRig-able.
Thanks a lot again JP!
Hello, I gave this character a try but something's wrong with the file (I suppose). In Blender 2.77 (on MacOS), I have the latest BlenRig (v1.0.1) and the cheeks of the penguin are wobbling so much that they distort the lower part of the head. I only opened the file, hit play and saw that. Am I missing something obvious there ?
Hi @nicolas.antille:
Sport Bikini Nike Beige Dri Fit 138276 Underwear Women's Performance I'm just checking on Linux and I don't see the issue. Can you check with 2.76?
Apart from that, the latest BlenRig won't totally work with this rig. The only character here which uses the latest BlenRig is Victor, all the others use the version of the addon from the movie they were used in. In this case, you should download the addon from Caminandes 3, in case you want to use the gui. The addon is not really necessary to use the character.
Well, let me know what happens in 2.76!
@nicolas.antille: Hi! Are you sure you have Auto-Run Python Scripts enabled? (also known as "Reload Trusted" when opening a file).
Also, in the description it says that it's rigged using BlenRig (beta), so maybe it conflicts with the latest BlenRig? Better check with Juan Pablo.
Ok, yes, the Auto-Run is a must have. About the addons, I don't think any version of the addon would cause such thing.
@Juan Pablo Bouza: Hello, thanks for the quick feedback ! It's obvious that this option needs to be enabled but it was not mentioned anywhere (if it was, I didn't find it) and it's not enabled by default in Blender. Auto-run fixes the whole problem and it works fine under 2.77. :)
Thanks for this :) I could not get this to work at all until I downloaded the production files for Caminandes 3. I'm working on a Mac, and I installed BlenRig + enabled "Auto Run Python Scripts" and was about to give up (tried various versions of Blenrig from Github too.)
So it was a nice surprise to be able to open the Pinguino blend file and find it working perfectly.
Could this way of accessing the character be made clear in the overview above, with a direct link to the production files?
There is something wrong with this file. When a open it in Blender (with auto run python scripts enabled) appears with only the default cube/camera/lamp. It's weird. :/
@Néstor Arellano: The extension was wrong, it was .blend when it was actually a .zip file (the right Blen-Rig script is bundled). I've re-uploaded the file now.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hello all,
I'm new here and not sure if this is the right place to post a question, If not I'm truly sorry, please point me in the right direction and I'll get it right the next time. Heres my question I've heard that the fishing in the seabrook "Hole" Or area is a really good place to catch a few fish. I come to mississippi atleast twice a year to fish their barrier islands with my father and we do pretty good but my father has gotten on this thing about fishing in the big lake, Lake "P". So I'm doing some reserch and would like to try the area this time when we come down. I'm mlooking for information on Boat ramps and bait shops in the area that allow close access to that area. I've got really good maps of the area so finding it wont be a problem. We are comming down the first week of june, Is that a good time for the area? Any and all advise is greatly apprecaited. like i said we are new to that area and would love to learn how to fish it. Thank you of your time and help.

Here we usually catch the released or surfcasting from beach. We have a large expanse of white sand beach, fine, that binds to its beauty, proximity to the Doñana Natural Park, which makes them a really beautiful natural setting.
But that does not correspond to the results obtained from our sea. Good for commercial fishing, either by the cold ocean waters in this latitude (12.14 degrees), or by the inexperience of speaking to you, the truth is that this water, once rich in species and quantity of fish , today is a cause of concern and disappointment over a fisherman. There are few days when we return home empty, albeit with a rich vocabulary of insults and expletives at all, so fish as tides, winds, etc.. Finally, it is what we have.
We usually fish for bass, bream, sunfish, blacksmiths, gold, corvinatas, some bream and especially smooth, using the most of the time natural bait, such as different types of worms (American, Korean, thread, aunty, llobarrera, etc.). crab, razor clams, squid, sardines, mackerel, etc.. Here in Andalusia is forbidden to use live fish, thereby further limiting us.
As for gear, used all kinds: to plumb the lower end and several gut, the same but with a single hook, and so on.
Best of all, is that the beauty of this sport, health cures us always and always brings us back with renewed excitement every time we go to practice. And I can not miss a good hotel where hospedarce may well be charming hotel Pyrenees your room now and come to enjoy the perfect combination of sports, beauty, nature and a comfortable stay. In our charming hotel pyrenees you will find an interesting propousal for an unforgettable holiday.

I live in Nairn,Louisiana. Was Born in New Orleans, Married a Ballay and moved down in 1995. I have no regrets moving down, even after Katrina took our house, and our community. The reason I am telling you this is..............
I have no clue where to fish, I just bought a boat, I am still learning how to back it down , and I am 40 yrs old. I have lived down here for twelve years,
and there is still alot of city in me.
So, how does a green fisherman learn to navigate the waters, catch fish
and still be able to get home! LMAO
Thanks in Advance
Interesting, fascinating game, realistic simulation of
There is big variety of fish, each which has its own behaviour.
In this game you have an opportunity to perfect your
equipment - fishing-rod, hook, bob, bait, spoon bait,
and fishing-line. You can play in full-screen mode, reduced
window mode, and also you can minimize the game.
In minimized mode the image of the bob will appear on your
monitor, and will tell you when you have a bite.
Such a possibility gives you time to do other things if
fish don't nibble or if you are trying to catch very big fish,
which always takes much time and patience.
55 different types of fish.
Competition spirit in the game during all the time.
To have play in new location you need to get 150 points.
The beautiful water will not leave you unaffected.
There are 28 different locations each with beautiful
landscape s and splendid music will help you to relax.
Come down to the Louisiana Gulf Coast for great fishing and hunting in The Sportsman's Paradise. We also invite you to visit our website at www.cajuncountrygifts.com/go.cgi?shop=5962 and shop for your friends and family. Unique Cajun pralines, candy and cookie products at money saving prices.

Actor Kevin Sorbo spent four months relearning how to walk after suffering a series of strokes while shooting his hit TV series "Hercules" in the late 1990s.
The hunk awoke one day with blurry vision so he headed to the hospital, where doctors discovered he had suffered an aneurysm in an artery near his shoulder, which had been producing blood clots for some time.
He struggled with the health problem in secret and only went public with the news in 2011, and now Sorbo reveals his medical scare was far more serious than he originally let on.
Speaking about his recovery, he tells "Today," "It took four months of rehab to learn how to walk again. It took three, four years to recover."
But the 54-year-old feels lucky his speech wasn't permanently affected – or else he would have had to also relearn how to speak: "I had four strokes actually. … That (last) one (blood clot) dissolved on the way to the hospital at Cedars-Sinai. … That one was (affecting my)… speech… I'm pretty fortunate."

Vladimir Putin, the most manly of manly sportsmen of sport and also prime minister of Russia, couldn't have been expecting boos when he stepped into the ring on Sunday night to swing his dick around in advance of Russian parliamentary elections. But it was boos he got. Russian MMA superstar Fedor Emelianenko had just dispatched American anarchist Jeff Monson on national television when Putin clambered into the ring and grabbed a microphone. From The Washington Post:
"Today all martial arts fans are having a feast," he began, and then the boos began to descend. Putin stopped, resumed, spoke louder. "We are all grateful to Fyodor Emelianenko, a real Russian bogatyr" - a Russian knight of old - "and not just because he is very strong and has wonderful muscles but also for his character and will, a real Russian bogatyr. I am greeting you, Fedya."
Putin is not accustomed to boos. He is accustomed to wrasslin' grizzlies and freediving blindfolded to the bottom of Lake Baikal with one hand tied behind his back. All to the sound of polite applause. Not in MMA, comrade.

In my pre-magazine days, I worked with a guy at the electric utility company who was passionate about researching and implementing new technology. He was always finding the latest software and hardware devices to increase worker efficiency and improve the electrical system's reliability levels. The problem was he could think of new ways to use technology to improve a process or system before most of us could even start to feel comfortable operating the one we currently had up and running. Sure, he was doing what he thought was best for the utility—and having fun doing it—but the rest of us just felt left behind.
To make matters worse, he seemed to get a new boss every few years, and each of these new supervisors would set a different priority list for what projects he should be working on. As a result, many of the projects he started never really moved to full completion or delivered the projected cost savings initially promised.
Every company has a technology guru like my co-worker from the utility. It may be an estimator who knows all there is to know about tweaking Excel files to spit out the most accurate bid possible. Or it may be a project manager who improves the company's billing cycles by figuring out a faster way to move field data to a centralized corporate database. Every company could use at least one person like that, but for all of their innovation and forward-thinking, they aren't the individuals who should be leading technological change within the organization.
If a company really wants to drive internal technological change, it needs an executive-level staff person who possesses technical expertise, can make decisions about which technologies are most likely to generate the highest rate of return, and has the horsepower to champion the right projects through to full completion. Only then will the company continue to succeed and stay one step ahead of its competition.
As much as I'd like to take the credit for dreaming up that concept, I can't. A lot of the biggest electrical design firms are well aware of the benefits of enlisting a high-power employee for that role and have been taking advantage of that IT structure for several years. Whether your firm is big or small, the ideals these companies have built their technology hierarchy on are applicable in most situations. And if you were hoping to get an inside look at what some of these firms' IT executives do, you're in luck. In this month's cover story, "Leading Technological Innovation From Within," on page 42, Amy Florence Fischbach takes a closer look at how a few of the top electrical design firms in this market have addressed this issue, either by appointing a single executive or via a tag team approach through two individuals.
High-tech tools will always be a part of the business, so the ability to find the latest and greatest advances is what will set you apart from your competition—and that means choosing the right person for the job. You can either trust the guy with all the ideas but none of the follow-through or a tech-savvy exec who has the corporate muscle to finish the job. Both may know where to find what you need, but only one of them will know how to make it work for you.

There has been a lot of buzz on the Internet lately about the Crosman NPSS (that stands for Nitro Piston Short Stroke) air rifle. Crosman sent me one in .177 caliber (.22 is also available) for review, and I found it pretty interesting in a lot of ways.
The first thing that sets the NPSS apart from the herd is its looks. It has an ambidextrous composite "thumbhole" stock that has a carbon-fiber-look "soft-touch" covering. A digital camo version is also available. Starting at the rear of the NPSS, you'll find a ventilated soft black rubber butt pad. Moving forward, a soft rubber cheek piece wraps over the comb of the stock and down both sides. Moving forward again, there is a triangular hole in the buttstock that serves as the thumbhole.
The pistol grip has small bumps on either side (as does the forestock) that provide additional gripping surface. Just ahead of the pistol grip, the trigger guard is made of plastic and has a hole toward the rear edge, through which a screwdriver can be inserted for adjusting the length of the trigger's second stage. The black trigger is made of metal, as is the Gamo-style safety lever (push forward to fire, pull back to safe the action).
Moving forward again, you'll find the forestock, which has a screw hole on either side for securing the receiver and a slot down the middle on the underside to provide clearance when cocking the break barrel action.
Ahead of the forestock is the barrel, which swells from the breech block into a 7/8-inch matte-black-finished bull barrel. Moving back on the top of the NPSS, you'll discover the breech block. Move back again, the shiny black metal receiver is fitted with dovetails for mounting a scope and a hole for engaging an anti-recoil pin from a scope mount. The extreme rear of the receiver is covered by a black plastic cap.
Included in the box with the NPSS is a CenterPoint 3-9 x 40 scope and a one-piece scope mount. To mount the scope, of course you have to take the tops off the scope mounts, and when you do, you need to take the smaller allen wrench included with the mount and use it to run the anti-recoil pin down so that it will engage the hole on the receiver. The NPSS weighs 9 lbs, 7 oz with the scope mounted and stretches 43 7/8 inches from end to end.
To cock the NPSS and open the breech for loading, pull the bull barrel down and back until it latches. Cocking requires about 27 pounds of effort, and this is where you'll encounter the second thing that sets the NPSS apart from the herd: the gas-piston action (sometimes called a gas spring, and which Crosman calls a Nitro Piston) action. Because of the gas-piston action, there is no spring noise during cocking, and the air rifle can be left cocked for extended periods without worry about spring fatigue. Slide a pellet into the breech, return the barrel to its original position, and you're good to go.
Next time, we'll shoot the NPSS.
Til then, aim true and shoot straight.
– Jock Elliott
