Saved myself quite a bit of money going PC GPU with some BIOS + EFI flash, rather than the Sapphire Mac model. With the savings, I went ahead and got a Samsung EVO 250GB SSD for my Bootcamp. Very happy so far, everything runs smooth and is significant performance upgrade from the stock 5870. Now I just need to find someone to buy my old card...

A trapped Kestrel I found near the desert of Qatar .. someone tied it up by plastic rope!
I guess he managed to escape yet he perched in the wrong place .
Later..I released him safely.

My granddaughters Emily and Julie are helping to keep the earth clean by picking up trash in the vacant lot across the street.
Life Saving Victoria is able to dispatch a range of various vehicles from which it houses, including 4WDs, ATVs, Jetskis, Inflatable Rescue Boats, Rigid Hull Boats, Drones and even Helicopters. LSV trains a range of volunteer members to operate equipment and provide services to the community around the beach to support and protect those while enjoying a day out. Each model shows the range of vehicles included and techniques to achieve certain angles, patterns and details that they have.
On Thursday, I glanced at the empty lot formerly occupied by the River City Motel on Stockton Blvd in Sacramento. I pass it everyday on the way to and from work. I thought I saw a large dog, but I wasn't quite sure. A day later, I saw it again and was more assured that it was a dog. I figured it belonged to a homeless person who might be camping in the back right corner of the lot. But today, Melissa and I took a closer look and discovered that it was a scared, shivery, bony great Dane. Who abandons such a rare and valued breed of dog?
We assumed we could take her to our vet, scan her microchip, and contact her owner. We came back with some food and a blanket. She ate voraciously, but she didn't want to move. She huddled further into the corner for a while. But once Melissa got her moving, she walked with us and jumped right into the car for the ride to the vet.
She had no chip, so then we checked Craigslist for any posts about a lost great Dane. We quickly found the likely owner and have now verified it's Zoey, but a reunion is not so simple. Eight days ago, Zoey ran off from a doggie daycare in the area here she was temporarily staying while her owner tried to find a new owner for her. She can't keep her because she had to move and couldn't find a place that would accommodate her. I sense a bit of a financial crisis might be happening. So, tomorrow with her owner's blessing, we will call a great Dane rescue resource and hopefully send her on her happy way before she eats us out of house and home.
It was completely unexpected. One minute, we were relaxing in our off time, the next, air raid sirens were blaring and the ground was shaking. The comm system was offline, so I grabbed the nearest weapon, a pistol unfortunately, and ran off to find Lt. Jon. I ran into the research center, just as the wall caved in. Rebel troops poured in. one had a flame thrower with a beastly range. I saw a Mandalorian merc bending over a pile of rubble! Lt. Jon was trapped and this Mercenary wanted him as a hostage! I only had one shot. If I missed, he would see me, and it would be over. I pulled the trigger and popped him right in the head. He crumpled, and after that, the rebels lost morale. I guess he was their commander. Needless to say, we triumphed and Lt. Jon emerged a bit battered, but all in all none the worse for wear.
I think I should be an admin because I have been with conquest since the beginning, although I missed the first mission. I would bring creativity to the team and I think would be fun to work with.
Some might consider this carbon offsetting, saving the planet or a health kick.
To a degree they would all be right because I think that we do have a responsibility to consider the impact of what we do and I really have more high tech toys than I need, even if I might have less than most around here.
It's also a fact of nature that while where I live is relativly flat, the garden centre wit the cheapest bird food in 20 kg sacks is also at the opposite side of the highest hill around here which is why I chose the mountain bike instead of the fixie and yes I was forced to resort to the lowest granny gear on the way back.
It was also a nice day for a ride, but the real reason for it was not carbon offset but personal fuel use offset. I am in the position of having two partners, a form of polyamory if you like, and I like to spend time with the one that I don't live with. Since the distances involved are greater than my current fitness levels it means using the car. So I try when I can to walk or cycle journeys that I might have otherwise used the car for and so offset the fuel I use for being with my other partner (and any other personal running around). I do this because fuel comes out of the common budget with live in partner so it's not really fair to do anything else.

The Cornish Air Ambulance (Eurocopter / Airbus Helicopters EC135) seen parked at Newquay Cornwall Airport. This airframe - G-KRNW - has been with the charity for 13 years and operates using the callsign 'HELIMED01'. The Cornwall Air Ambulance was interestingly the first helicopter operated air ambulance in the UK (beginning in 1987 using a Bo105), hence the callsign and makings on the airframe.

Home energy saving kits are now available to borrow at all Dublin City Public Libraries.
The Home Energy Saving Kits have been developed by Dublin's energy agency Codema and contain six practical tools to help the public save energy at home. The items in the toolkits address three key areas of energy use in the home - space heating, hot water and electricity consumption - and can help identify common problems such as lack of insulation, poor ventilation and the appliances in the home that might be driving up electricity bills.
