Highway speed. In the interest of fuel conservation. the Chancellor has requested that state-owned vehicles be driven at a maximum speed of 60 - 65 miles per hour when on the highways. The efficiency of the modern automobile seems to be highest when driven at speeds between 50 and 60 miles per hour.
Activities of the President. I have attended four meetings of the ad hoc committee for the consideration of the Nerden - Wattenbarger Study on Post High School Occupational and Continuing Education Programs in Virginia. Our charge was to consider their recommendations and make any proposed changes which we felt necessary. and to develop a procedure for implementing the study. The target date for the final report of this ad hoc committee is June 21.

Few beauty things are a bigger c-block of a good time than itchy, tight, scaly dry skin. It's terrible, and no one should have to put up with that massive load of bullshit. I have been there, pal, and lived to tell the tales. (Do you remember that commercial from the 90s where homegirl wrote "DRY" on her arm, or something? That's the crap I'm talking about.)
But I have found the solutions to this craptastic beauty problem, and they are vast and varied. So read on, playa, if your skin is feeling extra thirsty.
But I have found the solutions to this craptastic beauty problem, and they are vast and varied. So read on, playa, if your skin is feeling extra thirsty.
Best Product for Shiny, Non-Crocodile-y Legs
|nivea creme, $7.29 at walgreens
Even more than the Nivea lotion, I friggin' adore Nivea Creme. (Sorry, Mom.) It's so thick and MF-ing indulgent, like putting a marshmallow fluff all over your skin, if that wasn't completely disgusting. And look at the sheen on those legs! I usually reserve this goodness for just lower body areas, pretty much because I like shines on my legs and not anywhere else, but you can use it wherever the hell you want.
Best Overall Getting-Moisturizing-Business-Done Lotion
|palmer's cocoa butter, $6.79 at walgreens
I will straight boil bunnies if this cocoa butter ever tries to leave me. Okay, I won't, because I effing love bunnies, but I do feel very strongly about this lotion. I've tried a million other lotions, several different cocoa butters, and nothing comes close to this mofo.
If you like smelling like chocolate lite and having skin dripping with moisture (okay, no, gross), you'll love this. And you can buy it at pretty much every store on the planet. It puts the fetch in perfect(h)ion. Whatever. I give up.
Best Anti-Old Lady Hands Hand Cream
|ahava mineral hand cream, $23
Add to that the fact that I now live in second driest city in America (I googled that, because I research stuff), and you can imagine the state of my paws at this point. I'm at least at an orange on the unfortunate mitts scale. Maybe even orangey-red. Because of this sad sack state of affairs, I've been trying an ass-load of hand creams since I've moved here, and usually I'm all:
I HATE when my hands feel all greased up, like I'm ready to assist in a cow insemination process, or something, and that's the feeling that I get with 99% of hand lotions. So I was digging through a box of beauty products that I've never gotten around to trying, and I found a tube of this Ahava Mineral Hand Cream. I have no idea where it came from. Maybe it's from my mom. Maybe someone sent it to me to review (sorry, person, if that's the case), but whoever planted this stuff in my life is my hand guardian angel.
It smells like gardenias, which makes me feel like Blanche Devereaux, and that is always a positive in my book. Even better than that, it makes my hands feel like a rich heiress' finest silk blouse and NOT GREASY. Even after I've washed my hands a couple of times, the backs of them are still soft and moisturized. I don't know what kind of magical Care Bear Stare is bottled in this stuff, but I love it.
The one drawback is that this mess is pretty pricey, for sure. But Ulta has it on a buy one, get one half off sale right now (even the travel-sized version for ten baby bills), so that softens the blow (heh) just a tad.
Best Super-Dope Body Oil
|shea moisture argan oil & raw shea body oil, $9.99
Get on the body oil train, yo. You won't regret that decision, unlike the short-lived stirrup pants revival of '08. That was beyond regretful. And, yes, I totally wore them. Again.
I'm going to lotion away the memories.

A photo of a diamond mine shocked me and inspired this article
The "Radical", Ethical, Loving Act of Choosing Conflict-Free, Cruelty-Free Gems
If you're getting married or contemplating an approaching anniversary, you've probably been looking in store windows for the perfect diamond jewelry. And why not? Since time immemorial, diamonds have been a symbol of undying love.
Well, actually that isn't true. In fact, it's a falsehood as oversized as the 69 carat uber-diamond Elizabeth Taylor sold in 1978 to fund the building of a hospital in Botswana. (Now there's a lady who knew how to get the most out of her jewelry!) Diamonds didn't become symbols of "undying love" until the mid-'50s, eight years into the De Beers diamond company's brilliant advertising scheme. It took twenty years of hard work to convince Americans that a diamond engagement ring was necessary to prove your love, to umm, your love. (And, maybe more importantly, to everybody else.)
Most of the world's diamonds have been monopolized by De Beers, a cartel run by a single family, the Oppenheimers. De Beers is also named The Syndicate, in Israel; the Diamond Trading Company in the U.K.; Anglo American, Forevermark-- a slew of AKAs, worldwide. De Beers has controlled 90% of the world's diamond supply since the late 1800s, when diamond pipes were discovered in South Africa. (Before that, diamonds were truly rare; a few pounds a year, found only in alluvial deposits, along rivers in India and Brazil.)
The early rarity of the hardest known gemstones had kept them off the radar for most consumers: demand for the now plentiful stones now had to be generated. De Beers got busy with creating that demand. Early ad campaigns included "educational" seminars for high school girls, linking diamonds with love and engagement. Film stars and British Royalty were wooed and won as marketing partners. Advertising paid off; the misperception lingers--despite the fact that diamonds are found all over the world and in every shopping mall--that diamonds are precious and rare.
You can't fault De Beers for world-class advertising. But the diamond business is rife with price fixing, child labor, slavery, environmental ruin, arms running, drug trading and human rights violations. Government corruption. Forced relocation of millions. Genocide. Starvation. The use of children as soldiers. Rape. Amputation. Who knew diamonds could be so ugly?
It's impossible to briefly cover the amount of evil done around the mining, cutting, buying and selling of diamonds. The problem encompasses much of Africa; Botswana, where De Beers and the government have driven the indigenous people off their native lands; Zimbabwe, whose military violently appropriated the Marenge mine and enslaved miners; Congo, Sierra Leone, Angola, Namibia. All major diamond-producing regions, embroiled in power struggles; invariably, it is the inhabitants, helpless against rebels, mine owners and their governments, who suffer. Money that should return to communities doesn't. Starvation, lack of education and clean water supplies, and disease abound.
Children and Diamonds
Under heat and pressure, that most common element, carbon, becomes diamond. Stones are mined from extinct volcanoes; in holes blasted a mile deep and a mile wide. Small children are sent down on ropes, through narrow vents, to fill buckets 12+ hours a day with rough diamonds. Across the ocean, in Indian sweatshops, more children cut and polish stones, under inhuman conditions. Some are "bonded" by their parents; sent into servitude to pay family debts. Others are slaves outright.
Strictly controlled stones are sent to diamond cutters in cities like New York, Amsterdam and London, who make a decent living. The wealthy grow richer. According to the advocacy organization Global Witness, 46% of Angola's miners are under the age of 16. In West Africa, children between the ages of 7 and 16 are forced into the military or rebel factions, where they are routinely drugged, abused and brainwashed; these "baby soldiers" commit atrocities, often against other children. These factions smuggle diamonds out of the country, in exchange for weapons. The miners are children; the soldiers are children; the victims on both sides are children, too.
Poverty is the common factor in the continuing abuse of these children; an ironic comment on the industry that sells the ultimate luxury item. Partnership Africa Canada reports that in Angola and Sierra Leone, 90% of 700,000 miners, working in an industry that brings in $700 million a year earn the U.S. equivalent of $1 a day. Legislation Weak The United Nations and various governments have tried to restrict "blood diamonds" by enacting legislation requiring certificates showing that individual stones have been mined under conflict-free conditions.
The "international initiative" sponsored in part by the diamond industry (De Beers) and known as the Kimberly Process seems more marketing ploy than a useful deterrent to blood diamonds, as it is unregulated. One study of Kimberly Process certified stones showed that of 149 certificates obtained, one-third were fraudulent. 90% of diamonds are being mined by small operators, making accountability even more difficult. But blood diamonds continue to find a market because De Beers agents actively purchase diamonds from anyone--Angolan rebels, Zimbabwean military, --anyone with a rock to sell. De Beers agents and front companies have been caught on video buying illegal Angolan diamonds.
Why does De Beers pursue diamonds with such single-mindedness that it freely, knowingly profits from the misery of millions? It can only be greed, bolstered by tradition. De Beers has always focused on controlling the world supply of diamonds. With new reserves being discovered everywhere, diamonds are becoming, well, as common as dirt. Knowing that, De Beers can maintain control of the supply only by buying every loose diamond on the market; no matter how it got there. Also, U.S. consumers already own some 500 million carats of diamonds; 50 times the amount produced in De Beers' annual holdings (told you they weren't rare!)
The supply, if salable, would meet demand for the next 50 years. But the retail mark-up on diamonds runs between 100 and 200%; a retailer can't offer even half the original price of the stone without losing money on the deal. Most jewelers won't buy a second-hand diamond at all. If one does, he or she will certainly offer you less than 50% of what you paid for it. It's all part of the system that keeps demand high. (De Beers is being sued in Canada, for price-fixing; it already paid a $10 million fine in the U.S. for the same crime.)
In fact, De Beers has so tightly controlled diamond supplies, distribution and prices, that stones are sometimes deemed more stable than currency. Cash-strapped African rebels routinely trade diamonds for arms; in Israel, in the '70s, a depreciating currency made diamonds a better financial risk, so dealers began hoarding. Threatened with quota decreases, dealers stockpiled even more, causing shortages in New York City---and raising prices.
So what does this mean to us? It means the loss of a decades-old illusion. Diamonds do not equal love, aren't rare, aren't a good investment. The diamond industry is based on brutality, illegal price controls and fabulous advertising. Buying diamonds, we fund civil wars, child abuse, government corruption, widespread starvation, environmental degradation. And diamonds lose at least half their value the minute your credit card clears. As one savvy writer pointed out, a diamond is forever-- because you can't ever get rid of it.
At this point, some people sigh, shrug and say, "Well, what can ya do?" The answer is NOT rhetorical. You can refuse to buy blood diamonds.
Blood-Free Mined Diamonds
If it must be a diamond or the wedding is off, buy a certified Canadian diamond, from the Diavik or Ekati mines, Northwest Territories; mined by workers of legal age, overseen by a watchdog organization. But if the environmental aspects of diamond mining (also drastic) concern you, you have several other options, all of which are less expensive and cruelty-free. (Not all Canadian diamonds are independent; De Beers owns two Canadian mines and is opening a third.)
Manmade, Cultured , Lab or Synthetic Diamonds
Heat and pressure can also be applied to carbon in a lab. Lab diamonds typically cost 15% less than mined stones, with none of the associated barbarism and no flaws. And, like the other stones discussed here, lab stones are available in any color you can name.
My particular favorite! If you're willing to buy a stone that is more brilliant, more fiery, nearly as hard (9.5) and much cheaper than a diamond, consider the silicon carbide lab stone named Moissanite, after Henri Moissan, who first discovered the natural stone in Arizona in 1893. Natural Moissanite is extremely rare, being found mainly in meteorites and other stones from outer space, but it's inexpensive to manufacture. A one-carat Moissanite stone, superior in color and clarity will cost you around $300--90% less than a diamond of the same size and cut.
Cubic Zirconia
Cubic Zirconia is a lab-made stone comprised of Zirconium dioxide bonded with a stabilizing agent such as yttrium or calcium oxide. CZ has a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale (diamond is 10); it weighs more than a diamond and shows greenish-yellow under fluorescent light. CZ tends to be more brilliant than diamond and is naturally flawless. CZ's reputation was once tarnished (so to speak) by the fact that early CZ stones tended to become cloudy in a year or two, but the stabilizer keeps today's stones shiny forever. And Cubic Zirconia is easily affordable. A big stone might cost $10, with the majority of cost in a ring going into the setting--yellow or white gold, platinum, silver, palladium are the usual choices. And best of all, if you manage to drop your ring down the kitchen sink, you can replace it before your husband even gets home.
It Starts with Us
Typically, men buy diamonds for women. Just as typically, they would be happy to spend the money on something else. But until women draw the line and insist on cruelty-free, blood-free jewels, change is unlikely. Can we reject decades of brainwashing that taught us all that diamonds are for lovers? That tell us we gain status and recognition by not just the size of our stones, but by their "authenticity"? I think we can. Sure, we love to sparkle and shine: let's sparkle with silicon carbide, zirconium dioxide or lab-grown carbon crystals. Let's shine in the knowledge that our purchasing power will help build stability and safety in far-off places. Once the word gets out, women will wear their fake gems as proudly as many now wear obviously fake fur. Perhaps Moissanite and Cubic Zirconia will come out with lines of t-shirts and hats that say, "No, it's not a diamond; it's __________". Or, "Yes, my diamond is man-made."
There's a simple, affordable way to express your love --without buying a piece of someone else's pain. Now that you know, it's time to put your money where your heart is.

Entrepreneurs are always on the lookout for their next big idea, but Elmerei Cuevas didn't have to look far for inspiration. "It was all my 'hugot' from college," he says of Diligence Cafe, a cross between a co-working space and a cafe. Located in Quezon City, it's the brainchild of Cuevas and his co-owners Anna Lorraine Uy, and husband-and-wife Ariel and Nancy Meneses.
Cuevas, a materials engineering graduate of University of the Philippines, remembers the grind all too well: as a student, his days were booked solid with classes and extracurricular activities—often leaving him to buckle down on schoolwork well past midnight. Finding a distraction-free place that was welcoming even at wee hours was difficult. Libraries and coffee shops have closing times, while his comfy bed was too big a temptation back at the dorm room.
"My last resort would usually be fast-food chains, but they have no wi-fi or electrical sockets," he recalls, and even then, the guards would scold him if he and his friends lingered too long after eating. "I realized that students, [...] people in general, we have dreams, we have goals, we are easily inspired or encouraged, but we don't have the place to do the nitty-gritty stuff."
Prior to its debut this year, Cuevas and his co-owners harbored worries that people might not embrace their hybrid concept—one that uses an entrance-fee pricing model for its facilities, while food and merchandise are priced separately. But it hasn't taken long for Diligence Cafe to catch on; students, freelancers and young professionals alike have since made for repeat customers.
Here, a daily rate of P350 or just P60 per hour will get you free-flowing brewed coffee or juice, use of their wi-fi, and a place to plug all your gadgetry—you can even ask to borrow their extension cords. A conference room, available by the hour, can host meetings and brainstorming get-togethers. There's also a menu of hearty meals and pastries to fuel your study sessions.
And then there are the creature comforts that make it perfect for pulling all-nighters: Diligence Cafe is where you can hustle hard, but also recharge with a power nap. You'll be lent a pillow to doze on, and the staff can be instructed to wake you up at a time of your choosing, not unlike a human alarm clock. There's also lockers that can be rented out to keep your belongings safe while you're working long hours or catching some shut-eye. And for a Php 100 fee, Diligence Cafe offers the use of its showers for customers to freshen up—it comes with a shower kit that includes soap, shampoo, a toothbrush, toothpaste and use of their towels and blow dryer.
However unconventional, these were thought-out and purposeful features. "More than offering space, we ensure that we help our guests actually be productive," Cuevas says. "We want to be part of their journey towards their success. This is a place for people with dreams and goals to actually work on them and finish them."
Expansion is already on the founding team's minds—they're eyeing possible new branches in other cities—but they're also cooking up more creative corners in the same vein as Diligence Cafe. "We dream of providing specific spaces for specific fields," he shares. "We realized that the Filipino youth are smart, yet we lack spaces for them to tinker with their ideas and bring them into reality. We want to provide these places for them because we know that if they are able to play with their ideas and sharpen their skills and crafts, they can one day contribute to society."

The Song Path – Preparing your ProTools Sessions for Mixing Part 1
Written by Andy Patterson
No matter whether you are mixing your own tracks or asking another engineer to mix your tracks, there are a few things you can do to your ProTools sessions to make them a lot easier to work with when mixing.
Track Ordering
Some engineers will change this anyway, and at the top end of the scale, will have assistants to prep the sessions for them, but as a starting point – try assembling your tracks in order:
Drums – Kick, Snare, Hats, Toms, OHs, Room
Bass – Amp and DI
There are many longstanding reasons that this was the way that sessions were laid out – some of it goes back to the use of analogue tape where there would be a roll off of response at the edge of the tape – so the Kick was always track 1 (or sometimes the Bass). The Vocal was always towards the latter half of the tape so that the fader would be close to the mix position (and hence easy for the engineer to reach).
Defeat the Mutes
If any tracks are Muted because you don't want them, then right click on the track and click HIDE and MAKE INACTIVE. Doing this will ensure that the tracks are still there in case the engineer decides to use them, but he can assume with confidence that you didn't want them to be included. If you have muted regions (or 'clips' in PT 10), then decide whether you want them or not. If you're sure that you don;t want them, then delete them, or remove them. Or copy them to a new track and make it inactive and hide it. Whatever you do – get rid of them.
Again- another engineer may have a different plan for this, but its a good idea to tidy up your groups especially ones created in the heat of the session – and thus called Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. So, if one is your drums, label it so. If one is the BVs in the first chorus, then label it so.
Try colouring different tracks, or type of tracks differently – so all drum tracks could be RED, and then all electronic percussion ORANGE. This will help the engineer to listen through the track at the start of the session.
Get rid of any markers that aren't important – so if you have added a marker to cue your singer, then remove it.
We'll add another of these guides soon.. there are more things you can do to save your mix engineer time, effort and ultimately, your money!

Orange Vinaigrette
- 1 quart fresh squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 1 cup of orange juice reduction (or concentrate)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2½ cups canola oil
- 2 pinches fresh ground pepper
- 2 tbsp cold water just in case [1]
- Reduce the orange juice and cider vinegar down to 1 cup over medium heat in a heavy pot.
- Stir regularly with a wooden spoon. Be careful, once it starts to thicken it can stick and burn to the bottom of the pot.
- Allow this to cool before proceeding. [2]
- Place the reduction (or concentrate) in a stainless steel bowl.
- Add the Dijon mustard and the honey, and using a wire whisk, whisk it together.
- Then very slowly add the oil in a steady stream, constantly whisking. Continue until all the oil is added.
- If at any time it appears that the mixture is becoming too saturated with oil and might separate, add 1 tbsp of the cold water, while still whisking. Then continue with the remainder of the oil.
- Add the fresh ground pepper.
- ↑ The cold water is only to use if it appears that the dressing is going to separate, if it does, add 1 tbsp of the cold water while whisking.
- ↑ If you do not have the time to reduce orange juice, you can use thawed, frozen orange concentrate, and stir in the cider vinegar. This does not produce as good a dressing however.

(actually, I haven't turned thirty yet… not 'til Wednesday). Enjoy! 🙂

What I did when I turned thirty…
Filed under 1
Earlier this week,
I was going off a little bit on a class that was wasting time instead of doing what they were asked to do. My back to the whiteboard, I stood looking out across the class, and in the middle of a sentence, I suddenly saw a huge bird on the window ledge. A defunct air conditioner fills most of that window, leaving less than a foot on either side of it. A metal gate protects children from jumping or being pushed or accidently falling out of this fifth floor window, and the gate is cut to go around the AC unit. Pigeons squeeze under the bottom and around the sides of the gate to roost on the windowsill and nest there. We've had eggs and baby birds all spring, though this year we didn't see them hatch, as they did in a previous year. I'm looking at the window and lecturing the class, when I see a bird, light brown, tawny, much too big to be a pigeon, and mid-sentence, I realize it's a hawk! The shade is down part way, further obscuring the view, and the whole bird is larger than the little square of window, but it's unmistakably a hawk.
Okay, everyone, I want to show you something but you have to be very, very quiet and still and not jump up or shout…
I point them towards the window. They try to be quiet, but there's a commotion anyway. Kids in the back of the room, who can't see that section of the window, rush forward. I walk very slowly closer to the window, but the hawk takes off, lands briefly in another window, then flies away. Some of us get one last, momentary look at the whole bird as it soars by – others never glimpsed it at all.
The tension is defused. I send the kids back to work.
I found an apartment to move into in Brooklyn at the end of the month. But as soon as I had that out of the way, talent show rehearsals started, and I did something to my back (posture-while-typing-related), so now my afternoons go roughly like this: Monday – physical therapy, Tuesday – doctor or lab for x-rays/MRI or if I'm lucky, gym, Wednesday – physical therapy, Thursday – leave home at 7, talent show then gym then writing class, home at 11, bed, Friday – time with people I really like. Somewhere in there I have to do things like feed myself, do schoolwork, complete assignments for my class… Running doesn't make my back worse so I'm sticking to the 10K plan as best I can – it's marvelous to feel myself getting faster and breathing more smoothly. Anyway, I'm not saying any of this to garner sympathy or over-share, just to explain my neglect of the blog.
I'm reading a fascinating book; here are some bits & pieces. I wish I could fit an Arabic or Greek (classical) class into my schedule and finances. You know, after the French and Spanish classes I want to take. Ha ha.
Spring #1
Cameraphone pix are my new postcards. People don't seem able to receive them, though. I miss my little Canon, which is still in the shop. Fix it quickly, camera doctors! Then again, my regular camera can't email them… I went to the gym on the east side today, ran a crazy speed interval workout – I am getting faster already! (but an hour later I get a massive stomachache) – then walked across the park by the reservoir and saw the cherry trees, the ground beneath them blanketed with pink petals, and watched the sun setting silver-gold across the water, and listened to this song on repeat:
Here Comes the Sun Again (M. Ward) Kingdoms and queens they all bow down to you, Branches and ranch hands are bowin' too And I've taken off my straw hat for you, singing Here comes the sun again The leaves on the trees they all call out your name, Chrome on the freight line shines the same And the stars in their cars roll their tops down for you singing, Here comes the sun again Oh but if you're gonna stay show some mercy today Blow a little breeze on my face Snow banks drift down the hillside for you, Slides inside sandy river before the day is through, And before evenin' falls I may find myself there too, singing Here comes the sun again

So much going on…. more dramatic events with students (kids removed from the school in handcuffs for damaging city property), grades due last week, house guest last week, visiting apartments all over the city (though mostly in Brooklyn, which makes for at least an hour's journey from where I am now to spend 10 minutes chatting with a stranger, only to decide the place is too small, not my style, too expensive, too fratty, too arty, too dirty, or in a neighborhood I hate), a couple of big tests/projects to grade, a friend's thesis to edit, personal essay homework assignments to do… I barely have time to eat, let alone blog. Change is time-consuming. Also, why does spring keep teasing us? I'm ready for a run of 4 sunny, warm days in a row.
God owed us a field trip to beat all field trips…
because everything was awesome. SonyWonder, which is largely under renovation and not accepting field trip groups, had no problem with three "families" of one adult and four children. We entered without incident, the kids had a blast playing Playstation games, designing a video trailer, and playing electronic "instruments" along with a video of BowWow. Personally, I think the so-called creative elements of the place are actually quite limiting, mostly just following directions and, at most, choosing from a few options and combining them in new ways. Maybe it's better when not being renovated? But the kids had a great time. From there, we went to Chelsea to visit the studio of a man who makes violins, violas, cellos, etc. for concert musicians. It was incredible… he had a real way with the kids, walked them through the process of building a musical instrument, answered their myriad questions with inspiring thoughts about the value of learning as many things as possible and finding a career that you feel passionate about. Even the other chaperones were impressed by his talk, and time flew by.
Meanwhile, the creative writing enrichment group was walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, then responding to it in writing. The pouring rain stopped before they arrived, and who was on the bridge but the entire NY Giants team, filming a commercial… The kids got to talk to the Giants! And the entrepreneurship group went to Wall St. and visited the corporate headquarters of… SweetRiot – a chocolate company. I didn't hear much about the other groups' experiences but as far as I know, everyone had a fantastic day.
Clearly, we had some karma coming to us.

It all began with a simple search for me, his mom.
"Mommy? Mommy, where are you? Mommy! Where are you, Mommy? Mommy! Answer me, Mommy! I can't find you!" Within minutes of his searching, the panic set in. What followed next was very disturbing, an emotional display that cannot be adequately conveyed in ink. No one could ever forget those bloodcurdling screams nor his terror-filled eyes! They spoke a language all their own, something no parent ever wants to see or hear.

The year is 2011 and hopefully, everyone today is using LCD displays instead of CRT monitors. If you haven't already made the move, you should know that there are a whole bunch of advantages to using a flat panel display. Some of these are space saving, power saving and crisper image quality. If you've already bought an LCD display several years back, you should know that there are better displays out today. Of course, there are a bunch of things that you need to keep in mind before you decide to splurge on an LCD display and that's exactly what we're going to run through in this buying guide.
Correct size monitor
It's important to judge what sized display is perfect for your PC. This depends a lot on how far you sit from your screen. A 22-inch display should be a bare minimum, if you like watching movies and playing games on your PC. Most 22-inch displays support 1920x1080 resolutions as do 24-inch displays.
Size and resolution should be chosen based on needs
The density of a 24-inch is slightly lower than a 22-inch display. If you sit really close to your display, a 22-inch will do. If you sit say two feet away from the display, a 24-inch would make better sense. The pixel pitch on the 24-inch is lower than it is on the 22-inch of the same resolution.
Panel Type
Most of the screens that we've been seeing over the years are all based on TN panels. TN panels offer average colour reproduction in comparison to MVA and IPS panels and their variants. If you have the option, go for the IPS or MVA panel display if the price difference is small. You'll notice slightly vibrant colours and gradients than you normally would with a TN panel. They also have better viewing angles. There was a lull period where manufacturers focussed on making TN panels, but in recent times, MVA and IPS panels have returned, so it's worth looking out for them.
Aspect ratio
Majority of the LCD panels sold today are in the 16:9 aspect ratio. It wasn't always like this. Widescreen displays were built on 16:10 panels. For example, 1920 x 1080 is 16:9, whereas 24-inch panels in the past with 16:10 panels supported resolutions of 1920x1200. The 16:10 offered slightly more vertical viewing area, which was handy while browsing long web pages. While many claim that 16:9 offers the optimum resolution for 16:9, most movies produced are available in very skewed resolutions. This means those HD movies will still not fit accurately on a 16:9 display. If you're not particular about the aspect ratio, a 16:10 display is a better bet. Of course, finding these models is a bit of a problem.
Connectivity options
If you're spending more than Rs. 11,000 on a 24-inch display, you might want to keep in mind connectivity options. D-Sub and DVI ports are a given, but look for displays that have HDMI ports as well. HDMI is commonly used by media players, gaming consoles and even HD DTH set top boxes, as well.
Ample connection options on a high-end display
With HDMI ports, you'll be able to use the display as a mini TV, as well. Some of the slightly expensive monitors in the Rs. 15,000 range come with built-in TV tuner capability, which means you can connect Composite, Component and in some cases RCA cables to it.
Response time
TN panels are known for low response times and there was a noticeable difference in early displays. Advancements have reduced the response times drastically, so you can safely go out and buy a MVA or IPS panel without worrying too much about it. We've been reviewing a few of these panels and there's quite literally, no noticeable difference between the panels. Also, do not buy into the 1ms and 2ms response times advertised. There's no difference that a user will notice between a 1ms and a 5ms display.
Inbuilt speakers
Some displays come with built-in speakers. While the speakers are not really great for watching movies, they're decent enough for some light gaming and music listening.
A speaker unit built into the monitor
If you don't have a set of desktop speakers, it might be worth spending a couple of hundred rupees more on these displays.
LED-backlit displays
Manufacturers will try and sell LED-backlit displays as LED monitors. The displays being sold today are all LED-backlit displays, and not LED monitors. However, the technology does offer marginally better contrast ratio than traditional CCFL backlighting. Don't pay a whole lot more specifically for LED-backlit displays.
USB hub
For those users who have few or no USB ports at the front of their cabinets, or if their cabinets aren't easily accessible, plugging in USB devices can be a pain. A USB hub built into the monitor comes handy. Some of the monitors have between two and four USB ports. Look for these features and you might even find displays with a headphone and audio jack built into the monitors.
This might be one of the factors least considered by users. Some of the stands on monitors offer swivel functionality, which lets you setup the monitor in a vertical layout.
Portrait layout offers better usability while viewing web pages
This is great for browsing web pages as compared to the horizontal layout. There are also some other benefits. These stands allow height adjustment and rotation, which means you don't have to bother raising the monitor by shoving a few books under the display.
While the ultimate way of choosing a monitor would be actually trying it out at a shop, it's not really possible except in some malls. Armed with this information, buying a new display should be a breeze.

CMT's Catastrophe Relief Concert, Music Builds, touched viewers' hearts Thursday evening. The display began with images of devastated southern towns. Hank Williams Jr. and the Blind Boys of Alabama performed the gospel tune, "I Noticed the Mild." The event was hosted by comedian Ron White, HLN's Robin Meade, and ESPN's Erin Andrews. They mentioned the powerful storms that ravished sixteen states.

And for $49.95 you can download software that magically seems just in time to save the working day. Research display that organized criminals are earning $10,000.00 a day from scareware. That's roughly 200 individuals a working day obtaining nabbed. Some "distributors" have been estimated to make as much as $5 million a social media services yr. Just shut down your browser and do a scan with your existing anti-virus. Then update your browser simply because it's most likely out-of-date, which is why you noticed scareware in the initial place.

Know and keep inside Twitter's limitations. Whilst these limitations are certainly very high, you should nonetheless be conscious of them. Twitter limits everyone to one,000 tweets and 250 direct messages a working day. If you adhere to or unfollow hundreds of people in a solitary day, your account can draw scrutiny. Also, be aware you are restricted to subsequent 2,000 individuals unless of course you have a ton of followers your self.

MAC Style Black: Hmmmm….
There's a very tiny buzz on the blogosphere just now about the all-black MAC Style Black collection launching in October. Scooting round for images, I discovered that all the blogs that have already flagged this collection up have removed the pictures, with the exception of a couple, and I can't find out why (yet!) The above image is borrowed from www.ladies-beauty.com so by reprinting it here, I guess if there is an image issue I'll find out about it soon enough. Expect to see black lipsticks, volcanic ash face masks and Mineralize eye shadows in black with hints of coloured pearl. It's already popping up on Ebay.

I'm getting scared about the future of beauty. Eyebrowless women. Black lips. What are we facing?! I'll be curious to see what you can get your hands on for more information. I'm dying to know what MAC has in mind for us. I'm not sure about this whole "mime beauty" thing. But, I am a sucker for style so I might be buying a lip shade called "black lust" or something soon. OY VAY! xoxoxoxox
i love that you're testing the waters! now i want to know why it's been removed too 🙂
There are swatches a plenty from Style Black on Specktra.
yes, you are right Vex, but on sites such as http://www.abrilliantbrunette.com, and several others its been removed…although saying this, I've done another search today and a few more pics have popped up.
And http://www.1fashionaddict.wordpress.com, and vampirefreaks.com….
A very (tiny) niche product. I'm surprised M.A.C. would bother.
P.S. someone remarked about eyebrowless women. That's a beauty oldie. At different times throughout history it was fashionable to not only shave your eyebrows, but your hairline to create a high forehead look over which you wore those big head-dresses. Made you look like something from Plan 9 From Outer Space, but considering some of the laughable "trends" we've seen in the 20th century……
I'm actually excited for this collection. Australia has it (or so I have been led to believe) and it looks great. Black eye products with flecks of colour.. gorgeous for winter.
I actually quite like the look of some of this – although Linda Mason has been doing a very good sheer black gloss for years. I don't think I am going to buy it though; MAC nearly always disappoints me in the execution with its LE stuff.
this will be puuurfect timing for Halloween! I think sales will fair well if launched early October.
I actually think this is causing a buzz because for once MAC are not churning out pastels and neutrals in a demi-shade darker/lighter than the colors in the permanent line – about bloody time too!
I loooove this collection! I have the eyeshadows and they are amazing!

When we see the mold of man, the common assemblage point of humanity, we see a structure that looks like a complex onion, though don't get caught in the allusion. Layers upon layers built up over a lifetime. Stabilizing beliefs, concepts, ideas and opinions. Most of these are not actually ones we choose but are chosen for us to fit in with this band of awareness known as life. But the universe is so much more interesting. And the fixation of our perceptions through layers of repetition, constrain our ability to actually see the universe for what it is…. Energy manifesting form. Knowledge, information, awareness criss-crossed with lines of vibrating strings and warping fields.
It is a brilliant system, this convoluted onion. It has sub circles and structures within and through its form that glow with great intensity. Often the sub structures are in direct conflict with other sub-structures, the whole more distractingly beautiful than the flawed pieces. We have, as beings of awareness, come to accept the inherent conflict between the parts, like religion versus science or sanctity of life with the death penalty. We have become so good at compartmentalizing these fixations that few human truly understand the deep stabilizing conflicts within the structure. And most subtle, humans have chosen to stand fixedly staring at the world through these conflicting structures and maintained a self-absorbed belief of our centrality in the schemata of things. There is no other like us that we have found… ain't it grand!

Introducing Alex Adamson
Hi, and welcome to my website. My design team and I, have tried to make my site user friendly, warm and informative. I believe that by browsing through you can get a good feel for therapy in general, as well as gaining an overview on me as a therapist (with the help of my client testimonials), some of the issues I specialise in dealing with, and also a glimpse into the theoretical orientation that underpins my practice. Feel free to browse at your leisure, and contact me if you have any further queries.
I love my work as a Psychotherapist and passionately believe that we all have the inbuilt capacity to change and overcome even the most painful of histories and live life to the fullest of our potential. However, in today's ever changing world, huge pressures are often placed upon us by our environment, and support & acceptance can be an all too rare commodity. During my work therefore, I will endeavour to offer hope, support, guidance and increased awareness which is integral in allowing us to live a life more in touch with both ourselves, and the world of others we populate. This is achieved in part by increasing our self awareness of mind and body, which will serve to enhance your capacity for deeper, more meaningful and fluid contact with both yourself as well as others in the here and now. In less therapeutic jargon free terms I will be aiming to help you notice exactly where you are now, and attend more fully to what you are doing in the moment. This renewed focus will help you grasp how you have been structuring your life to date which will help to free you up from old blockages making you more able to step into the options available before you today with vigour.
The following examples whilst not exhaustive, clearly illustrate a brief overview of some of the issues I have experience in helping with:-
- Abuse - Emotional and Physical
- Alcohol Problems
- Anger Issues
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Behavioral Problems
- Bullying in the school, home or workplace
- Conflict
- Debt relate problems
- Depression
- Divorce
- Eating Disorders
- Family Problems
- Gender Issues
- Illness - Permanent or Long Term
- Insomnia
- Life Changes
- Loss - Job - Partner
- Low Self-Esteem or confidence
- Marital Problems
- Menopause
- Post Natal Depression
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Race Issues
- Relationships
- Seperation Issues-child/partner/relative
- Sexual Abuse
- Stress
- School Related Problems
- Trauma
- Work Related Problems

With numerous stakeholders lined up in opposition, OSHA announced it will hold an informal public hearing to receive testimony and documentary evidence on its proposed rule for Confined Spaces in Construction. The hearing is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. July 22 at Department of Labor headquarters in Washington, D.C. If a second or third day is necessary, the hearing will begin at 9 a.m. those days.
In comments filed for OSHA to consider, stakeholders have called the proposed rule complex and unnecessary. OSHA chief Edwin Foulke Jr., however, said the rule will address construction-specific issues and give employers needed guidance to protect workers who enter confined spaces.
Commenters are all but universal in opposing the scheme of classifying confined space that OSHA has proposed in the rule. Terence O'Sullivan, general president of the 500,000-member Laborers' International Union of North America, one of the largest unions of construction workers, said the classifications "may cause more harm than good, leading contractors to ignore a rule they find to be too complex." O'Sullivan, like many other commenters, urged OSHA to apply the simpler, current general industry confined spaces rule to construction instead of enacting this rule. T. Peter Ruane, president and CEO of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, also urged reliance on the general industry standard, but he devoted the bulk of his comment to concern about the rule's imposing of strict liability on the "controlling contractor" for all entry operations on a site, eevey if that contractor's employees are not participating. This will be very difficult for the construction industry, especially on transportation construction sites where a government agency is frequently the owner of the facility under construction, Ruane wrote.
OSHA published the proposed standard Nov. 28, 2007 (72 FR 67351) and the public was given until Feb. 28, 2008, to submit comments. Those who intend to present testimony at the hearing -- many commenters stated they intend to testify -- must notify OSHA in writing of their intention to do so no later than May 21. Parties who request more than 10 minutes for their presentations at the hearing and those who will present documentary evidence must provide copies of their full testimony and all documentary evidence no later than June 20. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

I don't know what happened last week but this post didn't publish on time! (I usually have this scheduled early in the week so I don't forget.) I had a great streak going too! Oh well, time to start again.
I present to you Eight Sentence Sunday, a blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. Here are eight sentences from the novel I am currently editing; Moon Murder.
She was shorter than me and mom yet this woman looked down at both of us simultaneously.
Melisa held out her hand, "I am the headmistress." There was no comment on being pleased to meet us. The hand shaking seemed to be a formality she dealt with because everyone else expected it, and that was it. Why did I help this woman distract my mother?
A voice straight from Brooklyn came from my arm, "Hey there doll face ain't you glad to see us? How about you get rid of that scowl of yours and show us where we can have some fun in this joint."
Ah yes, that would be why.

A few thoughts on linguistics.
Sanskrit and Tamil are the two oldest languages of India from which most of the other indian languages were derived. South indian languages have the root in Tamil; North indian languages have the root in Sanskrit. I have seen a few words in Tamil taken from Sanskrit; I do not know if there are examples of words in Sanskrit from Tamil. Hindi obviously has adopted a large number of words from Sanskrit. Here, I discuss (criticize) the modification Hindi made while importing a few Sanskrit words.
Speaking should not hinder the breathing pattern. It appears that Tamil and Sanskrit follow this as a principle. All vowels and a few of the consonants are sounded with exhaling breath. The remaining consonants are not sounded with exhaling breath. In fact, they cannot be sounded without combination with with a vowel. For example, the consonants l, m... can be sounsed separately whereas those such as k, p... cannot be sounded so. They can be sounded only by combining with a vowel as with, 'Ki' in King or 'Pe' in Pen. If you try to sound them separately, your breath will be held as long as you try to sound them. Try to pronounce and experiment this. Tamil and Sanskrit words do not end with such consonants. Let us take a few examples.
Kamalam (कमलम् ) means Lotus in Sanskrit. It is used as such in Tamil (The native word in Tamil for lotus is Thaamarai) whereas Hindi takes it as Kamal (कमल). This is fine because of the ending consonant 'l'. Now, let us take the word, 'Raathri' (रात्रि) meaning night. It is truncated as 'रात' ('Raath') in Hindi. This last consonant, 'त' ('th') makes pronounceing this word difficult. A few other examples are:
Sanskrit Tamil- Hindi रात्रि (Raathri ) ராத்திரி रात (Raath) नाथ (naathaha) நாதன் (naadhan) - नाथ (naath)

Creatine supplements will assist you not just develop muscle, however will likewise assist your muscles recover much faster after exercises. If you lift weights, some lifters say that they are able to do more representatives when they use creatine supplements. You have exactly what is understood as a filling period, generally one week, and then you use it for a couple of weeks, stop, and draw back once again, depending upon the supplement producers instructions discovered on the label.
Do not get me wrong, I know lots of individuals already understand this, but the issue is that they tackle dieting the incorrect way, making significant mistakes occasionally keeping them from preserving and gaining muscle mass.
Consume lots of water. Very first thing in the morning in a standing position, attempt to drink 3/4 to 1 litre of water directly down in one constant movement, without gulping. Aim for an overall of two litres of water during a day.

He then goes on to state that all this is hype and they are just attempting to steal your difficult made money, however he's not. His strategy is not a gimmick according to him.
Finally, the FDA's RDA is for sedentary adults. For children and kids they double it to.75 gram daily per pound. Why? They are growing of course. If your goal is to add lean muscle mass you too will grow, clearly then. So a minimum of.75 is needed. In truth it has actually been figured out that 1.1 to 1.5 gram benefits active, strength training grownups.

Call me crazy.
Seriously, do it. (That was fun, right?)
So today we had a bump in the road that involved calling people and fixing things again. And again, it wasn't so much a big deal as a time-consuming one, and the Preacher (who has patience and perseverance) fixed it. He solved the problem while I was flapping my arms and fussing.
So he told me to go shopping, and I left to buy a new pot for my philodendron. I've had this plant maybe eight years, and it was given to me by my grandmother. A few years back, it was thriving as usual when I knocked it on the ground while I was vacuuming. It was decimated, roots torn off everywhere.
But philodendrons are hardy, so I saved a leaf just in case. I put it in a glass of water, and it grew a root. And when I planted that root, wouldn't you know the leaf sprouted another one, and now there are seven? When it grew another baby leaf last month, I decided it needed a new pot. Off to the store I went.
|The new leaf! With a little fresh dirt.
(Oh, what's that? You say you're not here to talk about my issues? Oops!)
I was upset. But I bought a pot and some soil anyway, and on the way back to my car, I started humming that old Potter's Hands song. (Does your brain do that? You buy a pot and start singing a song about it?)
When I got into the car, 10,000 Reasons was playing on the Christian station. The thing is, it's a song I actually do like. But today it brought something else to mind - and that's what made the difference. It's Psalm 103, and it starts like this:
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
David's song reminded me what was so easy to forget: His benefits.
I'd been neglecting them.
So I started remembering them in the car, like:
"Forget not how He delivered you from a life built around yourself.
Forget not how He set you free from lies and curses.
Forget not how He gave you two children - TWO - when you wondered whether you could have one.
Forget not how He blessed you with a family that loves you.
Forget not how He gave you friends who forgive you for not answering the first call, or knowing what to say, or being at every party.
Forget not that He gave you a husband who's patient with your weaknesses, and who just says, "I"ll take care of it," when you're panicking.
|Photo credit
The benefits are infinite, but David just says, "Forget not all." That is, don't forget all of them. Remember them as they come to mind.
We remember this huge grace from the God who knows we're really dust.
We remember because the God who knows we're dirt also,
knows we're something more.
In our powerless moments, the breath of life reminds us of His benefits.
And in weakness, life sprouts from the ruins.
Glad for a new pot,

At the time I had no idea that we would become lifelong buddies... but yep, that we are :) I love these guys. I feel so fortunate to have been there to see it all begin, and to watch their family grow and grow again, and now I'm in love with these two little stud muffins as well :) It's sad that they live in Michigan, which is just so far away from Maryland :( But every time we get together it is like no time has passed <3
