If you haven't heard about Becca Cosmetic's Highlighters, then you must be living under a rock. Everyone in the beauty community raves about them, and they truly are beautiful. I picked up Opal (a golden pearl colour) about a year and half ago, and I've been enjoying it everyday since. They retail for $46/Cdn, come in a variety of colours to suit your skintone, and are the perfect shimmer to give yourself a summer glow all year round.
I've been a HUGE Jaclyn Hill fan for about 3 years now. I love watching her YouTube videos, she is drop dead gorgeous, she's funny and relatable, and she knows her makeup. When I saw last summer that she was coming out with a Becca Highlighter called Champagne Pop, I was really jealous since I already had Opal and they're very close in colour, I couldn't justify purchasing another shade. Until a few weeks ago…
Jaclyn had been teasing for weeks that something exciting was coming, and then one day on her Snapchat, she shared her new Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette, and I instantly wanted it. The packaging was gorgeous, it had Champagne Pop and a new limited edition highlighter and three blushes. I figured the palette was going to set me back some cash money since it had two full size highlighters (at $46 a pop!) plus three blushes, and was dying to see what the cost was. I told myself if it was over $60, I really didn't need it… Then one day, I'm on Snapchat and I see Sephora and Jaclyn are snapping about her launch party in NYC and if you go on the Sephora mobile app and type in #ChampagneGlow, there was a limited quantity of face palette's available a week early.. So I hoped on the app, and there was the palette, for an early release for $59/Cdn (amazing!! and $1 below my budget). Into my cart it went, and within two days I was opening the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette! Kudos to Sephora for their speedy delivery, even though I never pay for express!
It's safe to say I'm already really obsessed with this palette. The colours are beautiful, and it's honestly PERFECT for summer. The Champagne Pop highlighter is a light golden colour, and adds the perfect glow to your face. Prosecco Pop is a true gold colour, and it's extremely unique, and I'm honestly obsessed with it. The blushes are all very different from each other, and couldn't have come out at a better time. I had been contemplating buying a Becca blush as I'd never tried them before, and they all looked so beautiful that I couldn't decided which to buy! So I figured this set was the perfect time to try out a few shades. The Jaclyn Hill palette includes Rose Spritz, Amaretto and Pamplemousse, they're all equally gorgeous. The blushes are all very blendable, go on the skin nicely, and are great summertime shades.
From left to right: Rose Spritz, Amaretto, Pamplemousse, Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop.
Here I am wearing Rose Spritz with Champagne Pop. I love the bright cheek and glowing highlight.
Here I have on Amaretto and Prosecco Pop. I like Amaretto a lot because it blends well into my contour and just adds a small pop of colour. I also have Prosecco pop on my eye lids!
Out to run errands, I put on a touch of Amaretto, as it does a great job bronzing up the skin and just added a quick flush of colour. I also have on a touch of Champagne Pop here!
Above I have on Pamplemousse with a mix between Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop. I love this blush, it's such a fun colour, and I think it's great that mixing the two highlighters creates a fun new one!
I've been wearing this palette for a few weeks now and the combinations, and the ability to mix the shades together, are endless. I love to place my highlight on my cheek bones, above my eyebrows on my forehead, and the tip of my nose. But I think the two highlighters also make great eyeshadows on the lid or a brow bone highlight, and amaretto can be used in the crease.
I'm really glad I made this purchase, as it's the perfect palette to add to my summer makeup routine! I love Jaclyn and am happy to support her, I know she cares about her fans and creating the best product out there. Becca always does an unbelievable job with their products, and not to mention packaging (how cute is the white and gold of this palette?!). All of the Becca x Jaclyn products sold out immediately, but they're back in stock June 16 on Sephora.com! Make sure to pick something up from Jaclyn's collection, and get your summer glow on!
I'm just winging it. My life, my eyeliner, everything!
Gorgeous 😃
The palette looks great…Jaclyn did a great job! I need to get my hands on one ASAP!!
I'm loving! Everyone needs it!
I love your highlight!
Thank you!
Gorgeous I hope I can grab my own when they restock 💕💸
It's so gorgeous! You need it 😉

Kihei Caffe
What's amazing about Kihei Caffe is that, as crowded as it gets—and it gets crowded, especially on weekends—a table always seems to open up right when you need one. Sure, sometimes it's one of the little wobbly ones and you've got to rub elbows with your dining companions, but you won't be worrying about that as you wolf down a stack of banana mac nut pancakes or a gooey bite of hollandaise-slathered eggs Benedict. The proximity of Kihei's many beaches means you can hop in the water (after waiting the requisite half-hour, of course) for a little post-breakfast float. Sounds like a Saturday to me. 1945 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 808-879-2230. [JS]

SEVERN Trent Water has promised no hosepipe bans this summer, despite telling consumers not to waste water in the coming months.
A spokesman for the Birmingham-based water supply giant said today: "We will not be needing to issue a hosepipe ban.
"We are just being careful and want the public to conserve water during this time of heavy water use."
Severn Trent Water has hit its April water level targets, with reservoirs 95 per cent full. But householders were urged not to "go overboard" as the Easter holidays marks the start of the gardening season.
Water conservation manager Doug Clarke explained that a number of plants can be purchased which use far less water than some other shrubs, while water butts and mulching helped keep usage down.
Mr Clarke said: "There are a number of tips gardeners can use which are really good in driving down usage.
"Easter is always a busy period and is the first time in the year where we will see a big increase in consumption, so we are always keen for customers to be water-wise, both in the home and garden."
Top tips include: Some of the water you use in the garden will evaporate or run off, so avoid indiscriminate watering wherever possible; Avoid watering in the midday sun as the water will evaporate. The best time is evening or early morning; Water less frequently, but deeply and thoroughly. This will also help plants to develop healthy, deep root systems; For more information about water conservation visit www.stwater.co.uk.

Why are Burberry Blue and Black label only available in Japan but not anywhere else in the world?
Long Story Short:
In 1996, Britain Burberry gave license to Japanese Company Sanyo Shokai, for a private label targeted at Japanese youths. Sanyo Shokai designed and developed fashion items specifically for the Japanese market – Burberry Blue Label brand for young ladies and Burberry Black Label for the young men.
The blue & black label was a fusion of Japanese girls' favourite pastels pink & blue colours, with British's sophisticated look. This product line was marketed and sold under the Burberry brand solely in Japan and was not exported to or sold in other countries.
End of Burberry Blue & Black Label, re-brand to Crestbridge Blue & Black label
In 2015, Burberry decided to enter Japan with their own Burberry branded stores. To achieve that, the license to Sanyo Shokai had to be terminated. They were granted permission to sell its existing Burberry licensed products until June 2016. Keeping the subcategories – blue & black label, Sanyo Shokai renamed the product line "Crestbridge".
If you're looking to buy Blue or Black label from Japan, look out for Crestbridge stores instead of Burberry branded store fronts!
Blue label store listing here, black label store listing here. See the article at Japan Strategy for the whole story.
Classic checkered monogram, more affordable designs
The Crestbridge label remains popular amongst young Japanese adults and tourists, thanks to its younger styles and friendlier prices (below $1000). One of the most popular design we always receive at Airfrov, is the 2-way bucket bag. Check out their full range of bags here.
1st row: Crest Bridge Check Bucket Bag ¥ 32,400 (tax included)
2nd row: Crest Bridge Check 2WAY Tote Bag ¥ 31,320 (tax included) | Crest Bridge Check Ribbon Tote Bag ¥ 19,440 (tax included)
How to get Crestbridge Black & Blue Label in Singapore?
Not travelling to Japan? Unless you can find a web store which imports the Crestbridge label to Singapore, your best bet would be to ask travellers who are visiting Japan to help you purchase from the stores directly. Post a request to buy on our web or on our Airfrov app, our community of travellers will be notified. Here's how it works:
- Simply post up a request for the item you want, with a "willing to pay" price. This includes the cost of the item & some rewards for the traveller.
- Travellers who have extra luggage space will offer to buy it for you.
- Place a deposit and wait for traveller to bring it back to Singapore
Check out the below requests for Crestbridge bags, brought back by Airfrov traveller!

Evan Lysacek and his partner tangoed their way to the top with 52 out of 60 points.
This week, all teams got two sets of scores from the judges: one for technique, one for performance.
Evan admits some of his "techniques" off the dance floor are unusual.
"I have to touch each of the judge's chairs as we walk by in the rehearsal in the morning," said Evan. "I'm very ritualistic. I'm getting worse with this show. I have to use the Kleenex out of the same box. I have to chew the same gum before the show. I have to put Vaseline on my shoes."
Nicole Scherzinger and her partner once again landed in second place. Their rumba included a gravity-defying leg extension.
"I was a little scared to do it because from the wrong angle, we are just sharing a lot of Nicole with the world," said Nicole.
Pamela Anderson ended the evening in third.
Chad Ochocinco had his best week of the competition with a fourth-place finish. He's already given his partner a ring. He says a car may be next. And yes, he's hoping he'll make it all the way to the "final three."
"In God's will, I'll be here," said Chad. "As long as Cheryl's here and we are in love, I think we'll be fine." Asked if they really were in love, the two giggled coyly before running away. (After being told they were full of crap.)
Erin Andrews ended the evening smack dab in the middle, followed by "The Bachelor," Jake Pavelka, who got ambitious with his tango.
"Yeah, well, I was most nervous about the stairs," said Jake. "We nailed the stairs, and then the dance after that was just downhill."
Niecy Nash, Aiden Turner and Kate Gosselin are at the low end of the judges' leaderboard.
Tuesday night, one of the nine teams gets the boot during the Results Show at 8 p.m. on ABC7.

A series of interviews with creative and marketing innovators at the 2019 Cannes Lions Creativity Festival: Peter Mears, Global CEO, Havas Media Group.
Bruce Rogers: What's state of the Havas Media's business?
Peter Mears: Despite the challenges facing the industry, business remains good. I joined Havas Media Group two years ago and took on the role of Global CEO at the beginning of 2018. Over that period, we've seen strong growth in major markets like the U.S., U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Latin America.
Rogers: So, what is the leading reason for new business? What is the point of differentiation that you have going in?
Mears: Our story has a couple of major narratives. One is our ownership. We're part of Vivendi, which allows us a to come in at a different starting point. The Vivendi ownership closed in the third quarter last year. Now that we're a wholly owned unit within the group, it certainly gives us a different scale and unique access in the marketplace. The relationship provides us with unparalleled insight into a very important target audience.
The other important part of our narrative centers on what we call "Meaningful Media." Havas has ten years of equity in the meaningful brand space. Our Meaningful Brands research, first started back in 2009, is an annual survey that examines the role brands play for consumers. And the major data point coming from this research is that consumers couldn't care less about brands. In fact, 74% of brands could disappear tomorrow, and consumers wouldn't care.
Meaningful Brands are more successful, so how do we build a meaningful brand? If we're honest, we've had ten years of the Meaningful Brands study, but have struggled a bit to operationalize and leverage it.
What we've been very focused on for the last six to 12 months is, knowing that meaningful brands have more success, how do we really drive that into media? How can we create meaningful media experiences that helps brands become more impactful for consumers?
We introduced new research on this topic as "Meaningful Media." If all brands are really interested in growth and choose to spend all this money on media despite consumer resistance to media and advertising, there's a disconnection here.
We all talk about content. We all talk about media. But it's been slightly divorced from the job of media planning. Going into that research, we hypothesized that some media carries more meaning than others in a world where streaming is happening all over the place, ads are being blocked, and fraud is a concern.
It's an interesting jumping off point for us to think about which media is more meaningful. We're on a mission to leverage our learnings and really help clients maximize the output of that research.
Rogers: Can you provide some context around putting this research into action?
Mears: About six months ago, we launched a project called Media Experience, or Mx, which is our new philosophy around what work that we should be doing for clients, on the heels of our Meaningful Media research. Mx looks at the connection that we're going to make with the target audience, the context in which we're going to reach them, and the content that we're going to leverage. We believe those three factors will deliver a meaningful media experience for consumers.
Rogers: Most people in media don't talk about human beings. They talk targets and gross rating points.
Mears: I think the mechanics of media have gotten in the way of the art, and that has proved detrimental to our industry. Most media agencies very proudly proclaim that their machine is better than your machine. We are proud of our machine as well. We have wonderful access to data. But for us, that human layer that you mentioned is super important. This approach really resonates with our clients because, ultimately, media is a part of consumers' lives. Understanding media's human impact allows us to activate on the idea of meaningful media. In fact, we're presenting it in what we call the Meaningful Rating Point (MRP).
Rogers: Linear TV isn't to that stage yet, but are we heading in that direction? What about digital media?
Mears: Absolutely, yeah. The same logic follows through in the digital space. We've created another tool called the Meaningful Digital Matrix. It provides us with a way to look at all of the different research available in the digital space and understand the most relevant, meaningful ways to use different digital media, partners, and contexts.
Our new way of working is Mx, which allows us to build more effective media experiences for clients to help them work. There's a process and system behind this new philosophy and approach. There are tools behind what I've just described as well.
Rogers: Tell us about your personal journey to the role of Global CEO of Havas Media.
Mears: I started in this business 25 years ago. I'm a media guy, and I'm a media planner. I started like that and still think of myself that way today. And that's what I get excited about and passionate about. I've always worked in media agencies. I was with Omnicom for more than 15 years, IPG for seven, and then joined Havas two years ago. When I started out, I worked for a small media independent, and media was sexy. Media was almost sexier than creative. And then we went through the digital explosion with data, business intelligence, programmatic, and social. Now, I find myself in 2019, and the craft of media is all of a sudden really important again. And that, to me, is personallygratifying, exciting, and motivating.
Rogers: Where did you grow up?
Mears: I grew up in the suburbs of southeast London. I'm the son of a psychotherapist and an engineer, which is the perfect creation for a media person. I grew up thinking I wanted to work in advertising. After I graduated University, I went straight into a media agency.
What I loved about my first job as a media planner – and still love today – is understanding humans. The ability to build that bridge from an insight to a great idea still gets me fired up today. When I sit in pitches with our teams and see the work, you can see that energy, pride, and excitement in the work that we've done, and clients get fired up about it too. We're engineering how to better connect with human beings and understand their motivations.
The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is this one major moment in the year where we get to celebrate and enjoy our industry.
Rogers: Thank you.

State rolls out smart cards
"TSA ramping up smart card technology"
"Feds get carded"
The Homeland Security Department intends to issue a common smart card for its 180,000 employees beginning next year, piggybacking on a government program to issue identification cards to millions of transportation workers.
In a pilot project the agency plans to launch this summer, DHS officials will give 300 federal workers smart cards that will give the employees access to buildings and facilities as well as authentication for computer systems, said Lee Holcomb, chief technology officer at DHS.
Until now, employees for the 22 agencies that were folded into DHS in March brought their own identification cards with them. In many cases, they were not interoperable and did not have complete identifying markers or authorization identification.
But Holcomb told Federal Computer Week in an interview last month that officials want a standard ID card across the new department. "You can get in [to a building] if your chip works," he said. "It will provide physical access, a picture ID as well as cyber access."
DHS officials plan to tap into the smart card program launched by the Transportation Security Administration, known as the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). Officials also plan to ask at least three vendors to provide solutions for the smart cards.
In April, TSA awarded a $3.8 million contract to Maximus Inc. to help develop a universal smart card for transportation workers. Eventually, 12 million transportation workers, such as baggage handlers and security screeners, would use the cards to gain access to secure areas at transit sites. Holcomb said DHS is considering merging what it needs into the TWIC card program.
DHS also has 100,000 digital certificates it inherited when it combined the 22 agencies. The certificates provide access to computer networks. Holcomb said the department is in the process of building a DHS infrastructure for certificates that would be accessible to all employees.
But the smart card project is a long-term program for DHS, according to Joseph Broghamer, DHS director of identity and credentialing. The cards will contain microchips with security information and a photograph of the employee, he said. Although the cards will not immediately contain a biometric identifier, Broghamer said DHS will have the option to add a biometric identifier to the cards, most likely fingerprints.
The department will be able to cancel any card at any time from a central location if it is lost or stolen. Specific security identifiers will also make it impossible to forge a card, Broghamer said.
Issuing smart cards is only one of the ways DHS is dealing with internal security, Holcomb said. In addition, the department is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Defense Department and the General Services Administration to develop standards for the cards that are being introduced into the federal government.
Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the nonprofit Smart Card Alliance Inc., said DHS has studied DOD's smart cards, which the agency has issued to 2.5 million people — the largest implementation of smart cards to date in the United States for physical and computer access. "Many of the major challenges in implementing a large-scale PKI have been addressed as well as the best practices," he said.

Advice for your own greenterior
|Living Photography
Photographer Bart Kiggen and journalist Magali Elali, the duo behind the successful interior design blog Coffeeklatch, have a passion for everything that grows and blossoms. In their brand new book Greenterior. Plant loving creatives and their homes, they show the homes of twenty creative people who share their passion for greenery. Bart and Magali visited homes in Belgium and abroad – Amsterdam, Barcelona, New York – and let the inhabitants talk freely about their collection of plants.
Where does your passion for plants come from?
'We like the caring relationship a plant entails: if you take good care of your plants, they will take care of you. They look good, they provide oxygen… It is a very honest and natural process, which can be instantly gratifying. When we spoke to garden architects Bart Haverkamp and Pieter Croes for our blog, our love of greenery was further enhanced.'
Is it an easy subject: plants?
'The interviews were always very easy. The people we had contacted where also open to our idea, because it is a theme that is not often discussed. While one person keeps very detailed information about his plant collection, the other barely knows what is growing in his house. But all of them are perfectly capable of describing where they got a plant from and what they like about it. We saw people opening up while they were talking about their plant collection. Many times, the type of plants we found in people's houses – cacti, big or small, eclectic or Seventies – also told us something about the personality of those people. That was really fascinating.'
How can I create my own greenterior?
'For us there is only one rule: chose those plants you find beautiful. Don't let certain demands regarding plant care scare you. Make sure you know exactly what your plant is called when you buy it, so you can look up all the necessary information about needs and care on the Internet. Keep that information in a little notebook or in the vicinity of the plant in question. As you watch your collection grow, you can put together those plants that require the same type of care. That's quite handy. Make sure you look for plants that match your taste and way of life. In our house, plants that require a lot of water tend to do badly because we are out of the house very often. But that's okay, there are no households in which every plant grows well.'

Certainly almost everything we do and think is colored in some way by memes, but it is important to realize that not everything we experience is a meme. If I walk down the street and see a tree, the basic perception that's going on is not memetic.
One of the biggest mistakes that people make when they think about memes is they try to extend on the analogy with genes. That's not how it works. It works by realizing the concept of a replicator.

What needs to be done in the garden in October? Good question.
October marks the return of the heavy rain, raging winds, freezing temperatures and in some cases even snow. Your garden will have to endure this harsh weather as well as everything in it and, therefore, you need
to help it protect itself. Plants will die back, leaves will fall and animals will disappear as well as all the life pretty much. Winter can be very damaging so here are a few tips we would advise to minimise damage.
Underneath the soil growing will continue to happen, hardy bulbs will continue to root and worms will still be decomposing mulch so we firstly suggest applying a new layer around the beds and trees.
We all have our favourite plants in the garden that you do not want to lose so focus your attention on those.
A good protection procedure is to remove all plants that look like they will not last and give the hardier plants more of a chanc

Picket Fencing is fencing that has a traditional appearance, lengths of timber attached to two long widths of timber. The planks are positioned with space between and this gives low level privacy/security but is ideal for front gardens or sections of the garden that you keep your pets in.
Picket fencing is very easy to make yourself as well as cheap however if you do not fancy creating your very own picket fencing then check out the panels we have on offer.
Picket fencing is very low cost and easy to make which if what you need is small scale fencing then it couldn't be any better. The fencing however is only a temporary fence and will not last a long time. To increase its lifetime we suggest you treat the timber before hand with a preservative or even purchase pressure treated timber as this will ensure a much longer fence.

The first question you will have is "How to make a picket fence".

Mongolia was, for me, what Pico Iyer refers to as a "secret home". A place you spend your whole life dreaming about, and that you finally recognise once you see. As soon as we drove out into that wild, open steppe, I felt my soul settle, my breath slow, my heart open. And when we arrived at our nomadic encampment in a quiet, bucolic nook of the Orkhon Valley, where we spent two nights with a nomadic family, I felt that this was it, the way of life I had been searching for. I learnt some very important lessons from the nomads, that I know I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.
All we need is the air that we breathe
The nomads reminded me how little in life you need to be happy. The mother and father and their two small children all lived in a tiny ger (the Mongolian version of a yurt) about four metres wide, all four of them sleeping on two single beds. They had a small chest of drawers for all of their clothes, a central wood fire for warmth, and a little shrine. Nature provided them with everything else.
We can live in harmony with our environment
Watching the nomads take only what they needed from the earth, and using it in a way that meant nothing went to waste, showed me that they see themselves as just one species in this greater web of life. A goat was slaughtered for our feast but no piece of it went to waste – the skin would be used as a pelt, the offal that hung in the yurt eaten at a later date. The milk from their mares was used to make their airag alcohol, cheese, cream and butter. Small solar panels were used for the little electricity they needed, and a bit of water from the river for washing. If only we could all have such a sustainable way of living with our environment.
Home can be found in the movement between places
Our society has become so blinded by the need to find a "home", to toil away in jobs we don't love to nail down a place to call our own, often at the expense of true happiness and freedom. For the nomads, movement is the home. When one location ceases to be right for the climate, or the earth is not providing them with what they need, they can dismantle their ger, pack it on the back of their yaks, and simply find another place to rest. I'm aware that this lifestyle also has its pitfalls, and that the nomads in many ways live a tough, hardened life, but the fact that it is so free from shackles is very inspiring.
Good things will come if we wait
How beautiful it was to watch the mother spend five hours patiently sewing her baby a tiny deel to wear. To witness the women spending an hour herding their horses together of a morning for milking, and the men happily chopping wood for hours on end to keep their family warm. Coming from our world of instant gratification, it was so refreshing to see people waiting for what they wanted.
Openness is nothing to be afraid of
In the nomadic world there are no fences, no boundaries. This makes the people very open: they don't have the same suspicions we have, largely because they rely on the kindness of strangers to get through their long, harsh winters. As we sat by the roaring bonfire one evening, playing games and singing songs for each other despite the fact that we didn't share a common language, I realised how important it is in life to cast aside quick judgements, and to be open to making connections with people vastly different from ourselves. How much we might miss out on if we don't.

I feel so lousy. I'm tired and my head hurts. My brain feels like it's wrapped in cotton wool. Unfortunately, I have to hand in part of a project tomorrow evening and take my guitar exam in the morning. I so do not want to do this project, and I haven't been practicing my guitar stuff enough, so I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now. Five weeks down, seven to go. It seems like too much time and yet not enough.
Whatever deities are out there, just give me a little more strength, please. I feel so weak.

System Fit
Carlos Hyde emerged in his junior season as the go-to runner for Ohio State when Urban Meyer arrived and installed his spread offense, which focused heavily on the inside-zone run play. Hyde rushed for 16 touchdowns and 970 yards in just 10 games. As a senior in 2013, Hyde took his game to the next level and garnered all-league honors. He rushed for 7.3 yards per-carry (1,521 yards) and scored 18 times in 11 games. His big senior season vaulted him from middling prospect to the top-ranked running back on most 2014 pre-draft lists. Hyde went off the board in the second round (57th overall), just three picks after Tennessee made Bishop Sankey the first back drafted.
Chip Kelly's offensive system is very similar to the Buckeyes scheme that Hyde excelled in. At the heart of coach Kelly's offense is the zone run, with emphasis on the inside-zone run. Kelly has said, "the zone run is our 'go-to-work' play." It is the cornerstone to his whole offensive foundation. Hyde has expressed excitement and confidence in Kelly's system throuhgout OTAs. "I definitely believe that his system will help showcase all my abilities," Hyde stated. "Not just as a ball carrier, but also as a threat in the passing game. This system is just a blessing in disguise. I'm really looking forward to this year. I'm very excited about this year. I think it's going to be an exciting year. I'm all the way comfortable with it," Hyde said. "I can go out there and just play freely. I know all the plays and know exactly what I have to do."
Flashes of Special Ability in 2015
Hyde opened the 2015 season with a beastly performance on Monday night. He rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns (and added two receptions for 14 yards) against a very good Vikings defense. The highlight was this filthy spin move:
Unfortunately, a foot injury derailed Hyde's 2015 campaign and he ended up on injured reserve after just seven games. In his seven games, Hyde ranked as one of the league's most efficient and elusive backs. He amassed an impressive 2.83 yards after contact per carry. Amongst backs with at least 50 carries, only Marshawn Lynch ranked higher per Pro Football Focus. Amongst the top-44 rushers in 2015, Hyde forced the most missed tackles (.28 per carry).
Hyde has shown up this offseason at a slimmed-down 220 pounds and has impressed observers with his increased quickness and speed. Hyde's limited touches in his first two years have shown the talent is there for him to emerge as one of the league's best young runners.
PPR Upside
The hidden upside for Hyde as he enters the 2016 season is his potential to emerge as a force in the passing game. One of the most overlooked aspects of Kelly's offense is how involved he gets the running backs in the passing game. In his three seasons in Philadelphia, Kelly's running backs averaged 87 receptions for 707 yards. With Hyde expected to dominate the backfield snaps (LeSean McCoy saw 79.1% of the snaps in Philadelphia), he has a real chance to catch at least 50 passes. Hyde has noted he is excited about becoming a focal point of the passing game. "I like playing receiver. It's another opportunity to get out in space and get the ball in your hands," said Hyde. "To me, it's the feeling that you're taking over the game. The defense isn't just worried about your running the ball, they've got to worry about you coming out of the backfield, catching the ball and making plays after you catch the ball. It puts stress on the defense and opens up things for other people on the team."
"I think he certainly has the skillset to be an outstanding running back at this level, because he can do everything," said head coach Chip Kelly. "You're looking for a guy who can be a three down back, and that's certainly what Carlos is." "He's got really, really good hands," Kelly said. "It's interesting from someone that size and that has that skillset as a guy coming out of the backfield. So, it's certainly something we need to continue to build upon with him."
- Lack of Serious Competition for Touches - 28-year-old journeyman Shaun Draughn is currently expected to be the backup in San Francisco. Hyde should get as many touches as he can handle and projects for at least 800 snaps if he can stay healthy.
- History of Production from Chip Kelly's Running Backs - In his three seasons in Philadelphia, Kelly's backs averaged 1,840 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. His backs have also averaged 87 catches for 707 yards.
- Pace - The 49ers averaged just 969 offensive plays over the past two seasons, while he Eagles averaged 1115 over the same stretch. A 15% increase in offensive snaps will substantially increase the production across the board for the 49ers offense on volume alone.
- Injury History - Hyde proved durable throughout his college career and is fully recovered from his 2015 foot injury, but has had some trouble staying healthy in his short NFL career.
- Poor Offense - While Kelly's offenses in Philadelphia finished in the top-13 in scoring in each of his three seasons, the talent surrounding Hyde is questionsable. The 49ers line projects to be near league-average (20th) in Footballguys Offensive Line Rankings. Having the run-threat of a mobile quarterback (Blaine Gabbert ran a 4.61-forty at the combine), will help the line open holes for Hyde. But there are serious questions about the effectiveness of the 49ers passing game.
- Tough Schedule - The NFC West boasts some of the league's best defenses. With a Vegas win total over/under of just 5.5, the 49ers may be forced to play from behind often in 2016.
Final Thoughts
Outside of the top two rounds, Carlos Hyde is the back with the best opportunity to produce elite fantasy numbers. He should see a heavy workload in a running back-friendly system and has shown flashes of the talent that made him such a highly-touted draft prospect two years ago. He may me more heavily involved in the passing game than most are expecting. The combination of a solid floor and enticing upside makes Hyde a prime target at his current ADP.
Other Viewpoints
Tyler Buecher of Numberfire agrees that Hyde could be poised for a breakout season:
"With recent drafters focusing on wide receivers in the early rounds, Hyde is becoming an even bigger value pick due to this receiver-happy trend we're seeing. Hyde is one of the rare running backs entering an incredible opportunity -- to see volume intersect with ability -- in 2016."
Hyde is a favorite of Pro Football Focus:
"When healthy, Carlos Hyde has quietly emerged as one of the best individual running back in the NFL, independent of his blocking, game flow and supporting cast. He's fully healthy now after battling a foot issue that derailed his 2015 season, and he's reportedly dropped a significant amount of weight to prepare himself for Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense. Will his real-life success finally lead to sustained fantasy success? Kelly's track record with running backs would certainly say so."

Decentralizing IT Support – A Sustainable Model for Higher Ed?
On today's college campuses, it's not only at track and field events that batons are being passed.
In various administrative offices, handoffs of a different kind are also occurring – and with rising frequency. There, it's central IT handing the baton of line of business (LOB) system administration and support to department-specific IT staff or directly to functional area business leaders. For most schools, faced with reduced funding for IT, this trend toward decentralized LOB application support isn't merely a preference. It's a necessity. But, is this model sustainable?
At the recent EDUCAUSE Enterprise and Information Technology Conference in Chicago, panelists and roundtable participants repeatedly remarked upon the current stage in the evolution of IT roles and responsibilities. As many noted, schools are finding newer, more agile ways to deploy, maintain and grow their core enterprise applications. One obvious sign of this evolution is the rapidly accelerating adoption of software and services offered in the cloud. Another is this increasingly distributed approach to supporting critical business applications and systems.
But what's most interesting to me is that this evolution is making higher ed IT staff and management look at their solutions in a different light. Specifically, they're learning that decentralization can only be sustained when the post-handoff effect is one where maintaining, tweaking or scaling the system is a matter of configuration, not of massive customization or of heavy duty programming. By enabling shared ownership, this ease-of-administration fosters an infectious enthusiasm for collaboration – critical for the widespread adoption and long-term health of an enterprise platform.
This reminder ties into the overarching theme of the conference: the potential for those involved in IT to provide even more business value to the institution. Wouldn't it be great if your school's software application specialists – whether those folks are in central IT or out in the departments – could spend less time on basic support? What if they could instead morph into hybrid roles?
Imagine it becoming commonplace for these folks to be primarily consulted, not as IT support personnel, but rather as business analysts, collaboration strategists, risk managers and efficiency gurus. Their contributions would be less about merely keeping the systems running, and more about leveraging those systems by adapting and expanding them to address high-level strategic needs and business drivers.
Getting there – particularly as the baton of application support responsibility continues to be passed – requires ease of system administration. With configurable (i.e., not heavily customized or scripted) enterprise systems in place, your institution has a much better chance of ensuring that, for all involved at both ends of the exchange, the action of handing off also means "freeing up."

Netflix gets an interactive Minecraft choose-your-own-adventure show
The latest addition to Netflix' roster of shows comes from the popular Minecraft gaming franchise, along with an interesting twist: you can actually choose your own ending.
Minecraft: Story Mode – which was developed by the last remaining employees at troubled studio Telltale Games before it tragically closed down – lets you make choices to determine how the story progresses across its five episodes. The first three are already out, and you can stream them right now.
So yeah, it's not exactly a game, because you can't control characters' movements and actions. You'll start off with a quick introduction to how the series works, before choosing a male or female version of the protagonist, Jesse, and taking off on an adventure to save the world with your crafting skills and your buddies. Oh, and comedian Patton Oswalt voices one of the characters.
Minecraft: Story Mode can be streamed on smart TVs, game consoles, iOS devices, desktops, and smart TVs via Netflix' service for them; if you want to watch it on an Android device, you'll need to grab the official app from Google Play to do so.

Whoever said 90 percent of life is showing up will be proven wrong in the next few years. We're increasingly seeing more affordable technology that can work with Wi-Fi or cellular connections – and usually smartphone apps – to enable us to remotely control and monitor just about anything and video chat is becoming ever more feasible.
But there are certain applications for which the nearly complete removal of distance confines may have questionable utility. Take, for example, Evoz, "the baby monitor with unlimited range." The idea of remotely monitoring a room with what is essentially a network-enabled microphone and companion app has obvious interest to those who practice espionage. However, I first saw the product on ThinkGeek, where a commenter snarked that the product was a good fit for parents' "for when you leave your baby at home while you go to the grocery store."
Then there's the Viper SmartStart, which lets you unlock and start your car from afar. You won't find any accusations of bad parenting to go along with this product; the remote range is a neat feature to have when, say, you are leaving an office building on a wintry day. Here, cellular is a real enabler, but the notion of unlimited range is again questionable. I can see the case of remotely unlocking a vehicle in case someone accidentally got locked out, but how often does one really need to be able to start one's vehicle from across the country?

The AMATYC Review
A refereed publication of the
American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges
Table of Contents: Spring 2005 issue
Software Reviews
In their sections on inverses most precalculus texts emphasize an algorithm for finding f -1 given f. However, inspection of precalculus and calculus texts shows that students will never again use the algorithm, which suggests the textbook emphasis may be misplaced. Inverses appear primarily when equations need to be solved, which suggests instruction about inverses should emphasize their use in solving the equation "f(x) = c." Instruction, and the algorithm used, should take advantage of the possibility of perfectly paralleling the process for solving "f(x) = y" for x (not solving "f(y) = x" for y). Switching letters after solving, rather than before solving, preserves the parallel. When f is not one-to-one (such as f(x) = x2 or f(x) = sin x), students frequently fail to find the second solution. By discussing inverses in terms of solutions to "f(x) = c," this difficulty is naturally addressed. Furthermore, the terms one-to-one and range have natural definitions in this context and the Horizontal Line Test is also natural. The algorithm for finding inverses and the associated terminology can best aid in proper conceptual development if they focus on the primary context —solving "f(x) = c" for x.

Several formulae for the inradius of various types of triangles are derived. Properties of the inradius and trigonometric functions of the angles of Pythagorean and Heronian triangles are also presented. The entire presentation is elementary and suitable for classes in geometry, precalculus mathematics and number theory.
In "Beyond Pascals Triangle" the author demonstrates ways of using "Pascallike" triangles to expand polynomials raised to powers in a fairly quick and easy fashion. The recursive method could easily be implemented within a spreadsheet, or simply by using paper and pencil. An explanation of why the method works follows the several examples that are provided.
Traditional college algebra courses focus almost exclusively on power functions such as y = x2 and y = x3 rather than the more general y = xp. However, it is the more general form that is the basis of the mathematical models that arise throughout the natural sciences in a host of unexpected and highly interesting, applications. This article demonstrates a variety of applications drawn from biology and other areas that lead to power functions and some of the kinds of questions that can truly motivate students to find value in the mathematics they are learning. For instance: Why can't a turkey fly? How much did a pterodactyl weigh? How many different species can the island of Puerto Rico support? How large does an island have to be to have 100 species inhabit it? How does the size of an organism relate to how fast it can run? Or swim? Or fly?

Practical and relevant examples are given to make the appropriate sampling techniques understandable to students of Introductory Statistics courses. With a thorough knowledge of sampling techniques, students are equipped with the necessary tools to undertake basic research.
Within the context of traditional quality management principles, a program designed to enhance soft skills of College Algebra students was piloted in fall 2001. Results of the pilot project include increased retention, persistence, note-taking ability, and positive responses concerning course expectations. Quality enhancement efforts in this course have manifested significant improvements in this course and in follow-up courses, but overall success rates remain low due to a misalignment of process capability with standards. Possible solutions are presented.

What Does an Oxycodone High Feel Like?
When people abuse oxycodone, they do it for the high it causes. If someone takes more of the drug than prescribed or abuses it, the high of the drug can affect them so much that all they want to do is take more oxycodone so they can feel these feelings again. This can cause addiction, tolerance, and dependence. But what does an oxycodone high feel like?
One of the main reasons individuals who abuse oxycodone and other opioid drugs do so is for the euphoric high it causes. According to the NIDA, "Some people experience a euphoric response to opioid medications, since these drugs also affect the brain regions involved in reward." These individuals will become very happy, blissful, and sometimes excited.
Many people abuse the drug for this reason, but some do not have this response to oxycodone and other opioids. If dosed correctly, oxycodone should not cause euphoria, though many individuals take more of the drug in order to feel this response.
People who abuse oxycodone also do so in order to feel calm. The drug can be very relaxing because it "can change the part of the brain that controls emotions" (NIDA Teen). The high felt by individuals who abuse oxycodone is usually a combination of the calm, relaxed feeling and the euphoria.
Because of this, opioids are not usually abused as club or party drugs, which are more often stimulants or hallucinogens. When a person abuses oxycodone, they most likely do so in order to feel relaxed, calm, and happy.
Drowsiness occurs as one of the most common side effects of oxycodone. It is common to feel drowsy when taking it, and when someone is high on the drug, they will likely feel this way. Along with the calm and euphoric states caused by the drug, this drowsiness makes those who are high oxycodone suggestible and mellow.
Absence of Pain
This is another of the main reasons why people abuse and get high on oxycodone and other opioids. According to the NLM, the prescribed use for oxycodone is "to relieve moderate to severe pain." At its regular doses, oxycodone does well to relieve these issues, but when someone is high on it, there is usually little to no acknowledgement to pain in their system. This can be dangerous, as many opioid addicts become hurt and do not do anything about it because they do not realize how serious the issue is. Someone could skip going to the hospital when it actually is needed, making their condition much worse.
Why Do People Become Addicted to This Feeling?
Being high on oxycodone feels very good. A person will feel:
- Calm
- Happy
- Euphoric
- Unconcerned
- Sleepy
- The absence of pain
All of these feelings can be very pleasant, and some individuals will keep abusing the drug in order to feel them. However, addiction occurs when people taking oxycodone are unable to stop. According to the NIDA, "While the path to drug addiction begins with the voluntary act of taking drugs, over time a person's ability to choose not to do so becomes compromised." And because of tolerance, many individuals end up always feeling as if they cannot obtain the original high they are continually seeking.

Fleetwood Cave
17/02/2017 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Friday 17th February 2017: we welcome Fleetwood Cave to the Hinckley ACT. Traditional folk songs, to Motorhead, Led Zeppelin and Blind Willie Johnson, disparate sources that sound equally good in the hands of these two performers.
"With perfectly balanced voices, and instrumental virtuosity the new duo of Marion Fleetwood and Greg Cave played a set of folk songs, and their own original pieces to a very appreciative audience." Lichfield Arts.
With special guest Ashland.
About Fleetwood Cave
Marion Fleetwood
Marion has a voice which has been described as 'mesmerising' and 'siren-esque', and plays all things bowed.
She has been a well known figure on the folk scene and is probably best known as a multi-instrumentalist member of new folk supergroup TRADarrr and The Jigantics. She was a member of Meet on the Ledge and the award winning ColvinQuarmby – now known as The Gerry Colvin Band, which she still performs with. She has also appeared live with, amongst many others, Feast of Fiddles.
She released her first solo album, 'Holding Space', in the summer of 2015.
Gregg Cave
Since forming folk-rock band CAVE when he was 18 years old, Gregg Cave, has been performing in concerts and at festivals in the UK and mainland Europe. In recent years Gregg has collaborated with musicians and storytellers and has been commissioned by the Arts Council and National Trust to produce two separate pieces of performance.
Gregg is also a founder member of TRADarrr.
His new album 'Old England Grown New' has now been released. In addition to the fine collection of Northamptonshire musicians joining Gregg on this album, Dave Swarbrick (ex-Fairport Convention) plays fiddle on the opening track 'The Bonny Lass of Anglesey'.

Rewind to two months ago on the rooftop of The Row in LA for the Design Week party launch. The skyline is twinkling, the wine is flowing and I'm about one month away from my birthday. I strike up a conversation with who I can now call a new friend, and she asks how I'll be celebrating this year. My response is simple and rehearsed: "Benihanna because I've always loved shitty hibachi, and this isn't really a milestone birthday or anything so I'm gonna' keep it low key." She literally gasps and I'm not sure if I just offended her (perhaps she has a high opinion of Benihanna?). Turns out that's not why she was taken aback. My new friend goes on to say, "Señorita…did you not know this is your Jesus Year?"
Right then. Well I had no idea what Jesus Year meant at the time, but indeed I do now. Side Note: If you don't know what the "Jesus Year" is, I suggest you look into it. It's more so a lifestyle rather than a religious term (that's the only hint I'll give!).
So now fast forward two months and I am living this absolutely lovely JESUS YEAR. YES! I'm welcoming new clients in new cities and signing a lease on a new office space in Little Italy San Diego, with a new team member coming on in the fall.
New Client Details: I'm sooo excited for the launch of my newest client Broadstone on Fifth, opening in downtown Forth Worth this fall. Their hotel-inspired rooftop pool & lounge will have all of DFW trading in their cowboy boots for loafers and Loubs. The property location is just oozing at the seams with character and charm…
New Office Details:
If you're local to the area my new office digs will be in a chic little loft space above a highly coveted wellness center and medical spa in Little Italy on Kettner. If you're not local to the area, all you need to know is that it's beautiful and I'm so lucky/thankful/blessed to have been awarded the title as tenant. I won't officially be moved in until mid-August but stay tuned for a little party announcement.
That's all for now. Thanks so much for tuning in! Happy Jesus Year to all, and to all a good nite.

Teammates at the University of Michigan, quarterback Chad Henne and offensive tackle Jake Long will be reunited as NFL rookies.
More than five hours after the Miami Dolphins made Long the No. 1 pick in Saturday's draft, the Dolphins chose Henne in the second round with the 57th overall selection.
Henne became the fourth quarterback taken, behind first-rounders Matt Ryan of Boston College and Joe Flacco of Delaware, and second-rounder Brian Brohm of Louisville, who went to the Green Bay Packers with the No. 56 pick.
"(Dolphins head of football operations) Bill Parcells wants tough guys," draft analyst Mel Kiper said on the ESPN2 telecast of the draft. "Arguably one of the toughest guys at any position in this draft is Chad Henne."
Henne started all four seasons at Michigan and became the school's all-time leading passer, with 9,715 career yards and 87 touchdowns. Kiper complimented the quarterback's arm strength, calling it second only to Flacco's among the 2008 draft class, but also saw ways in which Henne can improve.
"Under pressure his accuracy declined, the footwork and mechanics need some work, and I don't like the long delivery," Kiper said.
Yet, Henne may still get an opportunity for early playing time in Miami, where the team lacks an established starter. The Dolphins drafted Brigham Young's John Beck in the second round last year, and also have veteran Josh McCown.
"It will be great to compete against them," said Henne in a televised interview.
In Long's case, he has already been penciled in as the team's starting left tackle. The Dolphins, who are coming off a 1-15 season, signed Long to a five-year, $57.75 million contract on Tuesday in advance of the draft.
Although NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's announcement of Long as the top pick Saturday was anticlimactic, the 6-foot-7-inch, 315 pound tackle smiled broadly as he shook Goodell's hand at Radio City Music Hall and held up a Dolphins jersey adorned with the No. 1.
Michigan's first No. 1 overall draft pick since Tom Harmon in 1941, Long is destined for NFL success, according to his former offensive coordinator, Terry Malone.
Malone, who coached at Michigan from 1997-2005, is now the tight ends coach for the New Orleans Saints, and helped scout prospects for the Saints' draft.
"What I told our people is that he's the best offensive tackle that I've seen at Michigan," Malone said. "And that's saying a lot considering the guys I was lucky enough to be around. I have no doubt that he will be a guy you can build a franchise around.
"When I was with him, I could tell he was going to be in the Steve Hutchinson, Jon Jansen, Jeff Backus, Mo Williams group (of Michigan offensive linemen). There's something about 'em. Great work ethic, toughness, a real burning desire to win."
But Malone also understands that Long will have to adapt to the higher caliber of competition in the NFL.
"The one thing that Jake will find out quickly is there are no weeks where you're going to be able to get in there and just dominate a guy," Malone said. "Every week you're going to see as good a defense as you've ever seen. Every team has great players on it. That may be the biggest difference for him. Week in and week out, he'll have to handle the grind of a longer season and the types of people he'll be playing against."
Asked about Henne, Malone said he believes "that if he gets the opportunity, he can be a great quarterback in this league."
Henne's first chance to carve out a pro career for himself will come in Miami, with his old teammate nearby. Understanding the team's draft needs, reporters who cover the Dolphins asked Long last week about the possibility of blocking for Henne once again.
"That would be fun," Long said. "That would be nice."
No other Michigan players were drafted Saturday. The event concludes today with rounds three through seven.

I have gotten GS160 and Sonar to work together before, but for some reason I\'ve gotten into a state where Sonar will work ok when it is installed by itself, but then when I install GS (version 25048 as well as the current 25206 patch) my audio outs are no longer recognized by Sonar (or by FruityLoops, or by Sound FOrge 5.0 for that matter!)
When I uninstall GS, the sound returns back to Sonar (and the other apps).. Only when I reinstall GS does it hog all the audio for some reason....
My specs:
Dakota with beta8 WDM/GSIF drivers
Sonar 2.0
GS160 (with versions mentioned above)
Any help appreciated, this is driving me nuts! Thanks

KACE Product Support Question
Can I have multiple non-RSA K2000s?
04/30/2015 1295 views
At our company we have 2 major sites and a whole lot of remote sites. I've been installing RSAs everywhere with no problem but our K2000 website is a bit slow from the other site on the other side of the planet.
I'm wondering if it's possible to have 2 K2000s. If so, can they both manage the same RSAs? Or would each K2 need it's own set of RSAs?

Data Security/Privacy
A few days ago, a friend forwarded on the Slashdot story about Facebook paying individuals, ages 13-35, $20/month to essentially spy on them. The story is all over the Internet, apparently. I hadn't read it or any other news because I've been too busy shovelling snow and dressing in 50 layers of clothing to stay warm (yes, I'm from Winnipeg and the cold shouldn't bother me, but I left Winnipeg because I wasn't tough enough). To be clear, I don't know if this latest story about Facebook is true, but no one should be surprised if it is.
If it is true, this Research app gives Facebook the ability to collect, on a continuous basis, individuals' "private messages in social media apps, chats from instant messaging apps – including photos/videos sent to others, emails, web searches, web browsing activity, and even ongoing location information by tapping into the feeds of any location tracking apps you may have installed." [According to Will Strafach, Gaurdian Mobile Firewall's security expert].
Think about that for a minute – nearly limitless access to every piece of information that is contained on or goes through the individual's device – a device that is with the person almost 24 hours a day, and reflects almost everything they do, say and think and when they do it and where they do it. Most people even have their phone with them in the bathroom and beside them in the bedroom. Twenty dollars per month to have a person you don't know watch you, know where you are almost every second, read every private thing you say, and see all of the private photos and videos you send!
If you're an adult, you can vote for whichever political candidate you want, drink yourself into a stupor on a weekly basis and make all sorts of poor decisions, and if you choose to allow a company to follow your every move for $20/month, that's your right. Knock yourself out. But this is being offered to children. Children who are starting puberty and just beginning to figure out how to live in the online world, and understand appropriate and inappropriate behaviour and the risks associated with that behaviour. They are making a lot of mistakes in the process – and that's ok. That's what children need to do to become adults. But should a stranger be allowed to spy on a child and document their every search, word, conversation, photograph and video they take and send?
This is not about being a helicopter parent – it's the exact opposite. We want and need our kids to learn about the online world, what works, what doesn't, what behaviour is good, what's risky and what to stay away from. We want them to learn new things and try new things, without strangers hovering over them and recording it all.
Perhaps this type of spying feels more acceptable to people because it's online, it's remote and you can't actually see the person spying on you. Let's step back for a minute. Imagine letting a complete stranger spy on a child in person. They stand right beside the child all day, record everything that child says, does, their location and their every move, for $20 (or for any amount of money). Then when it's all said and done, neither the child nor its guardians have any control over what that stranger does with the information. Does it make it better because it's done through a computer and you can't see that stranger? It's likely worse because that information is permanently stored and you don't know who can access it or how it is being used.
I feel these days that we're a little like boiling frogs. We have been continuously subjected to more and more bad behavior and we are numb. Perhaps we feel that we can't keep fighting these things because it's exhausting and it just keeps coming anyways. I completely understand that and I feel the same way many days. In some ways, not thinking about it is a way to stay sane or is purely a survival mechanism, which is needed sometimes.
Most of our clients are large companies and I'm generally pro-business. But come on, these are children. These are OUR children. Even if you don't have children, you may have nieces, nephews, know a neighbour's child, or perhaps you're just a decent human being. Strangers being able to watch and record our children's every action, every message of friendship, every growing pain, every mistaken text, photo and video, and do with that information whatever they want (and let's be honest, there is no real way to control how the information is being used or to whom it's disclosed), crosses a line. It's not just creepy, it feels predatory. If this sort of spying by a stranger, for $20 or more, happened to a child in person, someone would likely call the police.
So, let's stop being numb for just a minute. Let's not worry that it's too hard to change Facebook's behaviour, or the behaviour of other similar companies. Just change your behaviour and the behaviour of your child. That's it. That's the simple goal. If enough of us focus on the simple goals, perhaps the larger goal of changing Facebook will occur. Even if it doesn't, at least you and your child are safer.

Customer review
Great Value
Used this as a HTPC mobo in a bitfenix prodigy case and it worked like a charm. BIOS very impressive with overclock functions built in (if you want them). IO plate fit's easily.
Overall feel to mobo is of quality and not cheapness
sata connectors well placed close to HDD in case
There is NO DVI port on this mobo, error in description - i had to use a dedicated graphics card to see installation on monitor, as hdmi doesn't work out of the box until OS and drivers installed.
2xPCIe ports would have been better, but 1 is plenty for most needs as the CPU chip takes APU FM2 socket so you dont really need external graphics card unless really gaming.
There are 2x sata cables provided not 4.
These are niggly issues, and shouldn't prevent purchase as I'm very happy with this motherboard and there are plenty connectors which allows for a 5.25 media inch dashboard installation whilst leaving most case connectors available too.
