A: Whether a co-op, condo or a homeowner's association, community associations all have rules that control them. They are governed both by state law and by their own internal bylaws. Community association board members are elected by the property owners living in the community. The best thing that you can do to fix your situation is getting elected to the board of directors.

Consumers can search database of payments made by pharmaceutical companies to health care providers.
A major investigative project by ProPublica and five news organizations has compiled a searchable public database of payments to individual doctors from U.S. drug companies.
While the project includes only seven companies, or about one-third of the market, it still provides an important look into the relationship between doctors and the pharmaceutical firms.
Consumers can search the data to check whether their doctors have received money.
What's better than a Segway tour? A deeply discounted Segway tour, that's what.
I just bought $40 worth of Mexican food for the equivalent of $16.92. Or rather, I've arranged to buy the food in January, when I visit my daughter and son-in-law in Phoenix.
I've written before about social buying, the act of getting deep discounts on products and services through the power of bulk buying. In this case it's $20 gift vouchers to a Scottsdale restaurant for $10 apiece.
Nearly half of cell phone users with contracts said they would consider switching whenever the early-termination fee is no longer a factor.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
A constant source of irritation for cell phone customers is the two-year contract, and a hefty early-termination fee if you break it.
So perhaps it's not surprising that a new survey of cell phone customers suggests that one in five consumers with contract-based service -- an estimated 24.6 million American adults -- is likely to switch in early 2011 to less expensive unlimited prepaid wireless service with no early-cancelation penalty.
Imagine a college that is so inexpensive, you don't need loans. A company has come up with a low-cost alternative.
This post comes from Brandon Ballenger and Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Lately we've been exploring "disruptive innovation": major changes that improve a product or service or lower the cost in such a fundamental way that it has the ability to permanently alter the playing field.
Last week we showed you a company that's offering health care without insurance for $50 a month. In this installment we explore "college without loans" -- a partial solution for spiraling tuition.
Here's a simple three-step process to make savings a priority instead of an afterthought.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
For many people, saving is tough. Between housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, credit card debt, student loans, and other expenses, there never seems to be enough left to set aside for long-term savings. And that's a problem. Most people try to save something out of what's left over instead of saving first.
One of the oldest rules of personal finance is to pay yourself first. All the money books tell you to do it. All the personal-finance blogs say it, too. Even your parents have probably given you the same advice. In fact, it's one of the fundamental tenets of the Get Rich Slowly philosophy.
But what's the best way to do it? What's the most effective way to pay yourself first?
Kohl's and Sears ads are leaked to the Web.
This post comes from Melinda Fulmer of MSN Money.
Some of the first major Black Friday ads are starting to hit the Web, including department stores Kohl's and Sears. As usual, the huge ads contain hundreds of specials -- 599 doorbusters at Sears alone -- between the hours of 4 a.m. and noon.
But which ones are great deals?
Military members get free meals and wedding dresses, and everyone can visit national parks free.
Nov. 11 is Veterans Day, and a number of businesses are showing their gratitude to the men and women who have served our country with free meals and other perks.
The National Park Service is sharing its gratitude by offering everyone free entry Nov. 11 to all national parks that charge an entrance fee. This is the last fee-free day of 2010, but don't forget that some national parks are always free.
Forgo retirement savings. Skip filing your taxes. Cheat a nonprofit. Are these 'advisers' for real?
"Don't pay off your mortgage early -- you'll lose your tax deduction."
"Get married to save money."
"Don't add to your 401k because the stock market is down."
"Buy a top-of-the-line car -- it's an investment!"
"Don't worry about saving for retirement. The government will take care of you."
All these are actual examples of advice given to readers of the Smart Spending message board. A thread called "Silliest advice to save money you've heard" has collected some real doozies: At least two on the thread are illegal, others unethical and some are just dumb.

Q&A with Rulex's Alex Pi
1. Please give us a quick walk through your selection. Why did you choose these tracks and artists for the mix?
We wanted to tell the musical history of Farris Wheel in a DJ Mix. Besides two new tracks we only used records from the back catalog of Farris Wheel. For us the feeling of Farris Wheel is Real House Music. That was our main goal, what you will hear back in the mix. We went from warm to funky to harder tracks and back to house. The two new tracks is a flashforward to our new mix with only new Farris Wheel tracks from 2004 till now. Its really nice to work with these artist and an honour.
2. How did you hook up with Gene Farris and what DJ and production tips did you learn from the Chicago legend?
I met Translucent aka Jason Tyler in Chicago and he told me Gene was living in Amsterdam. One day I met Gene at a beach party and I invited him to play on the truck at Dance Parade. At that time i was living in Amsterdam aswell, so I was visiting Gene a lot. I helped Gene with his parties in the Jimmy Woo Club in Amsterdam and after a while Gene asked me to be his label partner. What I learned from him is how he works in the studio. How he makes his music. That was an honour to see the magic happening in real time.
3. After all these years (and lets be honest) tough times for labels, how have you kept the passion?
It's hard, I agree. Especially after the digital make his break through. But like a famous Dutch soccer player said. Every disadvantage has it's advantage. With the digital sales/labels its much easier to get your music out there and played by DJs. But eventually i think you have to stick to the plan and keep believing in the music and yourself. With good energy there is always inspiration to make music.
4. What are your production plans for 2010?
Rulex is working on a new album of 8 to 10 tracks. That means we will be working a lot in the studio. Besides that we are planning to make remixes and play as much as possible in the clubs and festivals.
5. You're both Amsterdam boys at heart but if you were forced to move where would be your first port of call?
That would be Chicago. Capitol city of House.
6. It seems that Holland has kept the house flag flying for many years, whilst others keep trying to re-invent the wheel with new genres all the time. How do you remain focused on your primary passion?
We are focusing on funky music. And music is a way of expressing yourself or a feeling so we dont think in that way. And we want to reach a wide audience. From America, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia.
7. What are the key elements that make a great house record.
Less is more. Meaning with using less sounds to get more result. Beside the idea, equalizing, compressors, delays, reverbs very important for us.
8. Which new artists and labels, in your opinion, should we be looking out for?
Artists: Egbert , El Funkador, D'Juice le Sweet, Stefan Vilijn & Domingos, Shiva, MC Boogshe, MC Dirty B
Labels: Afro Acid, 3000 Recordings, BOGA Records (not out yet)
9. How did 2 Records come about and what are your plans for the label in 2010?
We are two guys that have known each other for a long time. We think the same way about music and life. During the Winter Music Conference in Miami we were hanging in between two palm trees and made the decision to start the record label 2Recordz. 2010 will be the year of the Rulex Album that we work hard on for the 2Recordz label. Besides that we are working on a new website and new projects and events.
10. Please give us your top 5 'All Time House Music Classics'

If the state is so bad at raising children, how come we allow the state to educate our children?
It's obvious that our educational system is broken, but who is willing to take action to create a new system? Much of learning can be broken down into how much attention does a child get. In a classroom that's almost nil, as a teachers time is spread between 30 students. Studies also clearly show that grading children has a detrimental effect on them. So why do we continue this waste of resources that is also a waste of our children's potential.
What is an alternative to the current method of education. Is there a way to light the fire of children's curiosity rather than smothering it with facts.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 2 2012: I think that ultimately, when the poor are fully under control of the ruling groups or corporations non of this will be a problem anymore. Education will be for the ruling populace and the rest will be served enough to keep them under control.
Of course this could go the other way and the ruled could use the internet to get educated and upset the plans of the ruling parties. It appears it is spreading in this direction. I'm taking courses at an online college and learning much.
We waste resources because they are unregulated. It's really that simple. When resources become rare, we regulated them and decide who gets what and how much, with the rulers getting the highest share. It has away been that way.
We must bear in mind that money takes second place to power and control. With an educated population all the rulers have to do to put them under control is to shrink the money supply, which is what we are going through now. It is a fact that it is easier to control an educated population, provided you keep the educational process in two lots. The highest quality for the rulers children and the lowest for the rest. This is how the University system works and it appears that online education is following suit.
As technology takes control of our living environment, we can expect to see the population cut up into segments of haves and have not's, educated vs non-educated. The people will follow the jobs and that is the carrot that will be used to separate everyone into controllable groups. It is happening today.
Bear in mind, just because you are highly educated does not mean you are not a slave to some rulere(s). They just keep you in a more gilded cage. Not all Geniuses are born into the families of the ruling class.
Today, the smart children are sorted out, cataloged and followed throughout their lives. Opportunity is used to draw them out from their families and put them to work.
Nov 2 2012: THat's a bit pessimistic. It's also a loose argument: 'it's a fact that controlling an educated public is easier'. According to whom? I'd wager it is far easier to control an ignorant people than an educated one. Anyways, my post is about thinking about better styles of education, not spreading worry with tangents of anxiety.
John Dunbar 10+Nov 2 2012: Tao, this entirely depends on what the populace has been educated about. One can educate a group and very easily use this education as a tool of enslavement. If you look at the trilateral commission formed under Ford they basically said there are two types of intellectuals one that praise the system and ones that are, lets say, more value oriented. They went on to say that the value oriented intellectuals must be shunned so as to inhibit "the crisis of democracy" while the former must be held up because of the extremely important role they play in the indoctrination of the young and maintenance of societal function.
I concur with Johns statement it is far easier to control an educated populace when the education is mean to serve the master. Sometimes education can fool you into believing things you already know to be false....
In the communist manifesto Marx claimed that state education was needed so as to protect the children from being molded into sycophants to the ruling class. I think this is true and what we now see with all the hype about the teachers unions is really just a ploy to get in there and teach the children "what they should be learning". This is not to say that government in and of itself cant become a ruling class it can and has. The point I am attempting to make is that "spreading worry" based in truism should be an obligation to anyone who cares about his fellow man.
Nov 3 2012: OK well I agree if by education you mean a system of indoctrination. The point of my starting this thread was for us to collaboratively think of better ways to educate people.
I politely disagree that we should spread worrying truisms without, at the very least, the intention of finding solutions. I feel we should go beyond that any time we utter negative ideas and facts; we need to provide answers or the space for us to collaborate to come up with answers
Nov 3 2012: 'It's the way the world has operated for thousands of years. I don't see any change taking place now. If it were not so we should see evidence of it. Right?'
I believe that also to be a pessimistic, though you surely see it as realistic. Pessimism to me is stating the problems and being unable or unwilling to work towards answers. So my saying you're being pessimistic is not saying you are wrong, but I don't think you are helping us move forward. If we hope to improve the World we need to work with eachother instead of criticizing without any constructive thought.

10th anniversary of the accession of Kyrgyzstan to the Ramsar Convention
Kyrgyzstan has been implementing the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands since 1977 when they were a republic of the USSR. However in 2002, after independence, the government delivered their letter of accession to become a Contracting Party in their own rights to the Convention.
|Issyk-Kul Ramsar Site
On 19 November 2012, a symposium was held in the capital, Bishkek to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the accession of Kyrgyzstan as an independent country to the Ramsar Convention. The symposium was opened by Mr Sabir Atadjanov (Director, State Agency on Environment Protection and Forestry) and Mr E.B. Isakov (Deputy to the Parliament, Kyrgyz Republic), and was attended by participants from a variety of national and international government agencies, research and academic institutions, organizations and NGOs.
The symposium heard reports on the importance of the sustainable management of wetlands in Kyrgyzstan from the perspectives of a variety of government agencies, e.g. environment protection and forestry, health, as well as from agriculture and land melioration. These presentations highlighted the wide range of stakeholder interests in wetlands and the need for an integrated approach for their conservation and wise use. This was repeated by Mr Erkinbek Kasybekov (UNDP), who said that as the UN has announced 2005 - 2015 to be the 'Decade of Water', this would be a good opportunity to take more integrated approach to dealing with the complex issues of water use and wetland management.
|Key guests at the opening ceremony of the symposium
After the one day symposium in Bishkek, a two day technical workshop was held on the shore of Issyk-Kul (lake) which is the second largest mountain lake in the world and is a Biosphere Reserve as well as a Ramsar Site. The workshop heard detailed presentations and held discussions on the conservation and wise use of the three Ramsar Sites in Kyrgyzstan, i.e. Issyk-Kul, Song-Kul and Chatry-Kul. This showed that as the country faced many similar challenges with the conservation and wise use of wetlands as with other countries around the world.
|Participants during the workshop at Issyk-Kul
On the national level, there was a weak legal framework for wetland conservation; insufficient collaboration between decision makers, and between government and academics who can provide scientific backing to support legislation; a lack of capacity in wetland management at many levels, from that of decision makers, site managers to that within the universities; and insufficient information in the appropriate language provided by the Ramsar Secretariat about the work of the Convention.
At the site level, there were challenges with poor awareness amongst decision maker and the public about the value of wetlands; insufficient technical and financial support for wetland conservation and management; and the lack of an integrated approach for wetland management planning. This included challenges with the unsustainable use of wetlands, pollution, mapping and demarcation of wetlands to clarify different land-uses.
|Ms Nazgul Turdumatova and Mr Alymzhan Bektemirov (SAPEF)
However, the workshop also identified many opportunities on ways to improve the situation. At the national policy level, a Ramsar Small Grant Fund is supporting the production of a national wetland strategy, and the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) which is currently being drafted includes a chapter on wetlands and water as a cross-cutting issue. These documents will hopefully lead to higher level awareness and support for the integrated management and conservation of wetlands.
At the site level, the reserve staff and local community at Issyk-Kul are trying to ensure the effective management of the site through various means. This includes requiring visitors to pay an entrance fee where a proportion of the money is set-aside for the conservation; operating the Ecological Centre in Cholpon-ata Town that has an active education and awareness programme for visitors about the importance of biodiversity conservation and the Issyk-Kul Biosphere Territory; and working with scientists to carry out regular seasonal counts of the waterbirds using the lake.
|Student giving a presentation at the education centre at Issyk-Kul
The manager of the Son-Kul Ramsar Site also recognizes the importance of working with the various stakeholders who have an interest in the site, e.g. fishermen, pastoralists, tourists and conservationists, and is seeking funds to develop an agreement amongst all these stakeholders for the future management of the site.
|Representation of Issyk-Kul by a student inside the education centre
The symposium and workshop were supported with generous funding from the Ramsar Regional Centre – Central and West Asia as well as from UNDP.

The expansion of China's Lubura Waterpark added four attractions to an existing wave pool and water slide mix. The mix was designed to appeal to all ages and includes high-thrill attractions and more passive amenities.
Completed in 2011, several factors had to be taken into consideration for the expansion, most importantly, circulation flow and appropriate queuing areas.
The new attractions were designed to complement the existing dinosaur theme. Designers provided theming and matched the existing color scheme. The new attractions include two slides and a family raft ride.
A giant play structure is the quintessential centerpiece. One challenge was fitting the elements into the relatively small footprint.

A phone-based service is available for Minnesotans who think they may have the flu.
As of October 21, 2009, people with possible flu symptoms can call the Minnesota FluLine (MN FluLine) at 1-866-259-4655 for information and treatment options. Professionals will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People with limited English skills will be connected with an interpreter. There is no charge for the call.
FluLine was developed in response to the first global influenza pandemic in over 40 years. Officials are concerned that the pandemic could overwhelm the health care system, and they believe that FluLine can reduce some of the demands on the system.
FluLine is also expected to help decrease the spread of the flu. By providing assitance over the phone, the new service is expected to limit the number of potentially infectious people who gather in emergency rooms, urgent care centers and clinics.
People who need information about the flu, but do not have symptoms, are encouraged to visit the flu information page on the MDH website at www.mdhflu.com.

The internet is literally full of lifeless psychos. I post MY opinion on the playoffs, post videos I didn't make, and links to articles I didn't write, and I have about 20 messages from different anonymous people (go figure) telling me to drink bleach/kill myself/etc…….literally you are all CRAZY. wanna post your own opinions? have the fuck at it. You don't see me stalking through Tumblr tags and then reblogging people to bash their opinion or sending them anonymous death threats.
I DON'T LIKE THE PENS. that's it. I post videos I think are funny or articles that YOU TOO would post if it were about the Flyers or a team you hate. Quite frankly, I'm glad I was able to piss you off enough for you to go out of your way to send me anonymous novels bitching and whining. I'm sorry you lack a social life and a backbone.

I love YouTube, and have found some amazing things on there, but there's whole world of video online beyond what you'll ever find on YouTube. I used to use Google's Video Search , but was never particularly impressed with the results. I knew there had to be something better…
And then I found Truveo, a video search engine that makes it easy to find all kinds of video content from around the web. A Truveo search on Puffins, for example, finds videos from professional media organizations like National Geographic, the BBC and NECN, as well as social sites like YouTube and Vimeo — the best of both worlds.
Truveo is a great reference resource, a way to find relevant video on all kinds of topics. For example, someone interested in information about the journalist Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point and Blink, might be very interested in the Malcolm Gladwell videos found in a quick Truveo search, which includes videos from sources as diverse as Business Week and Comedy Central's Colbert Report, as well as podcasts from the New York and Pop!Tech, and speeches from Fora.tv.
It's not just the quality of the search results that make Truveo so useful, it's also the way those results are displayed in a concise, grid format, with lots of options for sorting and refining the search results. There are options along the top of every page that let you sort results by Most Relevant, Most Recent, Most Viewed This Month, Most Viewed of All Time, etc. If you scroll down below the main search results grid, you'll find various featured content. This varies depending on your search. For example, for a search on origami, you'll find featured channels (content providers) like MetaCafe and Revver, and a list of other channels, like HowCast. A search on the name of jazz trombonist Jack Teagarden also has facets for channels, but also tags like "ukelele" and "armstrong."
Every set of search results also has two buttons, Feed and Snag. Feed is an RSS/XML feed of your search results, handy for putting into your feed reader, personalized Google page, etc. Snag is lets you create a nice blog widget of search results, which you can add to any blog or webpage. Here's my snag widget for the Malcolm Gladwell search:
I highly recommend Truveo — I can't imagine how I lived without it!

The Chicago Bears have parted ways with offensive lineman J'Marcus Webb, ending a 3-year run in which his performance never measured up to his talent.
Webb confirmed Friday on Twitter that he is no longer on the Bears, saying goodbye to Chicago and posting it will "be good to have a fresh start."
A seventh-round draft pick out of West Texas A&M in 2010, the Bears believed Webb had all the physical tools to succeed at 6-foot-7 and 333 pounds. He started 44 games over three seasons - 12 at right tackle as a rookie and 16 each of the past two seasons. But he was inconsistent, missing blocking assignments, and dropped on the depth chart.
Quarterback Jordan Palmer also tweeted that he was no longer with the Bears.

By Jack Kintner
Some people think they're a curse on whale-watching excursions. Having been skunked too often, they conclude that there's some kind of anti-whale karma they put out that guarantees vistas of smooth seas unbroken by a spout or a towering dorsal fin.
These are exactly the kinds customers that Orcas Island's Beau Brandow wants to meet. Owner and operator of Outer Island Expeditions, Brandow has begun offering daily tours out of the Semiahmoo Resort.
His knack for finding the beasts and a lot of other interesting wildlife at sea is nothing short of amazing. It comes from many years studying the creatures and their habits while working on various small islands in the San Juans for the Washington State Parks system, plus undergraduate study at Whitman College.
Since he knows their habits and where and what they like to eat, he knows where to find them if they're to be found at all. It also helps a lot that he's working in waters he knows as well as his own neighborhood, because for the last ten years that's what they have been for this northwest native.
He spent summers on Alder street in Birch Bay and his parents live on Lummi Island in that small slice of the eastern San Juans that are in Whatcom and Skagit counties.
On one recent trip Brandow gently guided his tour boat, a 32-foot aluminum Maxweld catamaran hull built in Hebo, Oregon, to a point deep inside Boundary Bay.
"Here's about where they were yesterday," he said, coasting to a stop as a mature gray whale, 10 feet longer than a standard 40-foot school bus and as heavy as a loaded logging truck, broke the surface with a whoosh and an exhaled spray of steamy wet breath.
"These guys are digging this trench in the mud, roughly from Semiahmoo northwest toward Ladner, to feed on shrimp and other shellfish. They stop to do this here to fuel the rest of the trip," Brandow said. By this time the circling whales were working their way into deeper water – the trench gets into water so shallow that the whales' bellies are touching the bottom – which meant they could come higher out of the water to breathe.
The boat was suddenly overwhelmed with a strong smell, a cross between a very busy gym and the world's biggest dumpster as a gray whale exhaled not 150 yards away.
The gray whale calf that
washed ashore near Birch Point last week may have been part of this
group, but Brandow said that he's only ever seen five whales and at
press time on Tuesday those five were still around.
The calf died of internal injuries suggesting some kind of trauma, according to researchers who examined the carcass, perhaps from getting rammed by Orcas.
Speaking of which, Brandow said, another captain had just told him that part of the transient Orca pod, aggressive meat eaters known for corralling seals and chomping into ton-and-a-half sea lions, was passing Saltspring Island.
"What do you say?" Brandow asked his customers, "should we go take a look?"
Twenty minutes later the boat was at rest just east of Saltspring Island, and as if on cue the large male named T-10 (for the tenth male identified in the transient pod) and two smaller females passed by, heading north as if on a wire and paying little attention to the boats that gathered to watch them.
"We have to respect these
animals," Brandow said, "and part of that means staying at the legal
limit of at least 100 yards or more away."
He also explained that all the whale watch captains are in touch with each other but the channel is not publicized and the locations, direction and type of whales are described in code.
"We don't want a lot of company," he said, "because while the professional tour guides are pretty well self-policed, one person in a power boat can make life miserable for these big creatures."
Earlier this week the resident Orcas began to show up in the San Juans, and Brandow said that these are usually "a lot more fun to watch.
"They eat fish, not meat, and they're more active. The transients are on a mission to get to northern waters but the local guys are home, playing in their back yard."
On the way back to Blaine Brandow pointed out porpoises and Steller sea lions feeding in the prodigious riptide that sets in twice daily near Patos Island, whose lighthouse is being restored. Porpoises sometimes can be coaxed into playing like surfers in the boat's wake.
Sea lions are huge (over a ton), aggressive and voracious, somewhat closely related to bears, but are themselves the endangered prey of Orcas.
A few harbor seals surfaced closer to the mainland, making it five marine mammal species seen on the trip along with numerous eagles and marine birds.
The passengers got a good look at them in part because of the kind of boat Brandow uses.
Instead of being bundled up and strapped into a seat in a big inflatable, Brandow's boats have an upper observation deck that's used when going slowly that's stable and obstruction-free.
The boats only carry a half-dozen to about 20 passengers so there's never a problem getting a good viewpoint. Rates for the four-hour ride are $109 for adults, kids under 14 are $89.
They also have group discounts and combined fishing and whale watch cruises. Departure times are daily at 1 p.m. in May and June and then go to twice daily, at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. in July and August. For reservations call 360/376-3711. For more information visit www.outerislandx.com.

Ok, I have around £1000 budget for a PC and Monitor for my new studio....I've always used a laptop previously, but its time to get serious with a decent set up and to be able to calibrate properly etc.
Any advice would be most welcome...I don't want to go down the 'make your own' route, as I'm fairly clueless in that direction, nor do I want a Mac, so just some make and model names that you knowledgable folks have been satisfied with in the past would be great thanks.
All info greatly appreciated
If you have a good laptop that is powerful enough for editing, you could just buy the best possible screen within your budget after setting aside some money for a calibration kit. The top-range Colormunki kit includes calibration for printer as well as screen.
If you want a desktop you will find many didfferent suggestions on what you need but I have a Dell XPS with 8GB RAM, 2TB hard drive (excessine because all my photos are on external HDD), i5 processor and dedicated 1GB graphics card. I am presuming you already have back-up software/drives...
This one has gone up about 10% in price since I bought one last year but I am very satisfied with it:
It certainly handles my 45Mb Raw files very efficiently in Lightroom 4.1 and Photoshop CS6 with all the associated plug-ins and gubbins.
I use it with a pair of 27" Dell U2711 Ultrasharp monitors with which I am also extremely satisfied. Unfortunately even one of those would take the total cost slightly above your budget - but I see no point in coupling a speedy PC with a shitey monitor or a decent monitor with a shitey PC. Getting the optimum balance of processing power and display quality for your own requirements is probably the secret.
(Edit: Just re-read your post and noticed the reference to "studio", Phil. That suggests that you are a professional. I should stress that when I say that I am very satisfied with the above set-up, it is purely as an amateur photographer, and I can't be sure it would necessary meet the needs of a working pro.)
For a studio environment something like this, Not necessarily 27 inch, 24" would be more than enough.
Why this?
It is tidy, Sleek, Clean & clutter free, Looks fab, Whats more despite the huge amount of " Bull " you'll no doubt receive, This type of system is " More " than adequate for working with 2D still images, It would also be great for 3D and video work, That said 3D & Video work really requires a whole different hardware set up, More on the lines of a CAD machine.
My other suggestion would be a custom built machine ( preferably from a local supplier ) If the budget is tight, Get the builder to construct something with a decent amount of upgrade headroom, But keep the original base unit budgeted at around £500 max, Then use the other 500 quid to get a really decent display, Certainly something with " IPS " technology, Made by NEC, Asus, Dell, HP, or the like, Do plenty of model research, Makes no odds what the badge is, Just make sure the actual panel inside the box, Is one of the better ones.
One example, Certain NEC models priced around £1200 quid, Share the same panel technology ( from the same supplier ) as the much more affordable " Asus " & " HP " displays, Same goes for the 24 & 27 pro Dell models.
Bottom line, Make the monitor/display the most important part of the package, The box of bits that drives it, Is less important, Just so long as it has reasonable future upgrade potential, Certainly from a photographers point of view.....
Your next consideration should be " Storage " ..........But that's a whole other department.
Having the same predicament. My current model doesn't like me playing music on it and using CS5!!!
I was looking at a Dell (XP8500) but came across this which you might find interesting.
I got a Dell U2312HM from Amazon for £168 and I have to say first impressions are its money well spent.
And an XPS 8500 tower from Dell sourced through dmxdimension which again came in at a very good price (i5 3.1 , 2tb , 8gb ram, 1gb graphics, years onsite warranty) for £611 with a free Xbox 360 (which ive sold already for £110!!) and the option to upgrade to Windows 8 for £15 should I want to.
If your shopping for a new comp the dmxdimension is worth keeping an eye on daily as the deals change all the time....and for those that hate all the rubbish Dell put on Pc's as I do a quick foray through add and remove programs gets rid of it all perfectly.
I'd really like to save time and not build my own new PC this time round. I've tried configuring a Dell XPS 8500 but I can't seem to avoid getting things that I don't want or need - like a mouse, or Xbox or MS Office.
I want to configure an i7 with 12gb RAM and an SSD boot disk from a brand or builder I can trust.
What attracts me to Dell is the quality of the cases and how quiet new Dells tend to be. Surely there's a way to configure them without being forced into certain choices?
Why not have a look at PC Specialist. You'll be able to choose exactly what you want, component wise. They have an excellent selection of cases or you can even send in your own. I'm sure they'll be plenty of options that will be just as quiet, and more so, than any Dell option.
I use a Fractal Design Define XL case which I specifically bought with the intention of keeping any noise to a minimum. I've not been disappointed and can highly recommend that particular case.
Another retailer that deals with quiet PC's and components is Quiet PC
Thanks Justin for the recommend, particularly the case recommend.

Love this bag. Coupled it with a Therm-a-rest neo air all season, so I stay super warm when it's a bit chilly outside. Coming from a zero degree mummy bag (which sucked, no room) I was super worried i'd be dropping a load of money on something I (yet again) could not move around in, and thus - be miserable and broke. To my great enjoyment, I have room to kick about, and (surprise!) I didn't even consider how rewarding it might be to flip from back to stomach in this bag. I'm a big tosser-turner, so the pad-pocket doohickey is a huuuuge amazing plus. Favorite bag so far.
I purchased this bag for my fiance as a 3 season bag that was relatively compressible and light weight. For the money this bag is unbeatable no zipper issues and it makes a perfect match with other Big Agnes bags just zipping them together (right and left handed of course) making for a great night in the sac. This bag has held up to all expectations, the only thing that could make it better is if Big Agnes had a little more spunk in there color choices.
Bought this for my fiance, to get her into a new 3 season bag. I have a left hand Big Agnes bad that mates perfectly with this bag (right hand zip) The bag holds very true to its temperature rating. For the price this bag is unbeatable, although I wish Big Agnes would have spruced up there choice of colors. The zipper is great with many other bags i find the zipper to sometimes be a bit grabby though with the Big Agnes I haven't had any issues and when you mate the two bags together it makes for a great time in the sac ;-) but further more I would recommend this bag to anyone in the market for a great 3 season bag

Jack Black Meets Cain & Abel
'Year One' doesn't quite get it right
You didn't expect a comedy with Jack Black and Michael Cera to be entirely reverent toward the biblical account, did you?
Then you'll know that this clip from Year One, an exclusive at Crackle, isn't really a depiction of how Cain killed Abel. (Guilty giggles are strictly between you and God.)
Meanwhile, check out the official website of the film, which will also include appearances by Adam, Eve, Abraham, Isaac, Seth, and "Sodom Officer Rick." (Gold star if you can guess which one's fictional.)
Year One hits theaters June 19.

Zoe Heller
Adult Fiction HELLER
Summary: A lonely schoolteacher reveals more than she intends when she records the story of her best friend's affair with a pupil in this sly, insightful novel Schoolteacher Barbara Covett has led a solitary existence; aside from her cat, Portia, she has few friends and no intimates. When Sheba Hart joins St. George's as the new art teacher, Barbara senses the possibility of a new friendship. It begins with lunches and continues with regular invitations to meals with Sheba's seemingly close-knit family. But as Barbara and Sheba's relationship develops, another does as well: Sheba has begun a passionate affair with an underage male student. When it comes to light and Sheba falls prey to the inevitable media circus, Barbara decides to write an account in her freind's defense--an account that reveals not only Sheba's secrets but her own. What Was She Thinking? is a story of repression and passion, envy and complacence, friendship and loneliness. A complex psychological portrait framed as a wicked satire, it is by turns funny, poignant, and sinister. With it, Zoë Heller surpasses the promise of her critically acclaimed first novel, Everything You Know.

I'm afraid I have to agree with the noes.
RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012
Proudly supporting the #2 cricketer of all time.
Every single one of PEW's posts are ****. No disrespect intended towards the poster though.
Dare I whisper the word "buffoon"?
+ time's fickle card game ~ with you and i +
get ready for a broken ****in' arm
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
I believe in evolution over PEWSism.
What has my future son in law done this time?

"I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you'll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened."
– That's what Ken Ehrlich, executive producer of the Grammy Awards, told ABC News Radio when they asked about Chris Brown's return to the ceremony. Right, the Grammys were really the victims of Brown beating the living shit out of his then-girlfriend Rihanna. More on this in my piece on The Philly Post today.

Sony: Sign new PSN terms or you're banned
New terms of service for Sony's PlayStation Network ask you to waive your right to collectively sue Sony for any reason, including security breaches.
Use of Sony's online services, including the PlayStation Network (PSN), which was hacked to pieces a few months ago when digital thieves made off with millions of users' personal information , is now subject to terms and conditions that see you waiving your rights to collectively sue the company for any reason, including future security breaches.
Anyone taking issue with Sony in the future will be unable to take class action (which is when a group of people collectively sue), and instead will have to work with an arbitrator of Sony's choosing "on an individual basis" to resolve the problem, the BBC reports.
Like most terms of service, you won't be able to use Sony's services unless you agree to them, so PlayStation gamers will find themselves locked out of the PlayStation Network if they don't want to play by the new rules.
You can read through the legalese-heavy terms yourself if you like, but the important bit reads as follows, in a section titled 'Class Action Waiver':
"Any dispute resolution proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or as a named or unnamed member in a class, consolidated, representative or private attorney general
legal action."
Why is Sony doing this? In April a class action lawsuit was filed against Sony after the catastrophic PSN data loss that could reportedly cost the company billions of dollars. These new rules won't apply to that lawsuit (or any class actions filed before 20 August, 2011), but they could stop users of Sony's services from taking class action in the future.
We'd bet our last Rolo that most users will hit the 'Agree' button without spotting the new terms, that could reduce your options if you ever wanted to sue Sony.
You can opt out of the waiver, but to do so you'll need to post (yeah, post) a letter to Sony's Los Angeles address, for the attention of the legal team. You've got to do so within 30 days, and the letter must contain your name, address, PSN account number (if you've got one) and a written statement that you "do not wish to resolve disputes with any Sony entity through arbitration."
We suspect the new terms and conditions are largely aimed at the US, because class action lawsuits are mainly an American phenomenon. Still, we're sure many gamers will be unhappy with the inclusion of these new rules.
Is it fair for Sony to stick this in its terms of service? Let us know in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.

Environmental Health Services
The Environmental Health and Protection Division of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness provides a variety of community services. Restaurants, swimming pools, and wastewater treatment plants are inspected routinely. Complaints regarding mosquitoes, dog bites, lead paint, toxic spills, sewage, and other environmental hazards are also investigated. Health Education is offered to serve the public regarding environmental health issues.
Food Trucks to Begin Getting Inspection Placards
Beginning Monday October 14, food trucks that operate in Louisville will be included in the Department of Public Health and Wellness' ABC Food Placard Program.
"The number of food trucks operating in our city has grown rapidly over the last few years. They have increased the food choices that consumers have available," said Matt Rhodes, deputy director of the Department of Public Health and Wellness. "The food truck inspection placards will give consumers a new tool to make informed choices. Many food truck operators have been asking for this."

TONOPAH, Ariz. (AP) - Phoenix police say they have arrested a man accused of having child pornography and filming a young girl.
Police said Thursday that 59-year-old David Wilhoite faces 20 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts of unlawful disclosure and filming without consent after a raid on his Tonopah home.
Police found several items of child pornography in Wilhoite's home during a search Wednesday.
They believe he also took unlawful photos of a young female in a private residence.
Wilhoite was booked into Maricopa County Jail.

For most women, that diamond engagement ring is one of their most prized possessions.
One woman has a story of how someone found her missing diamond in the rough.
"It was just, it was a great night," Christi Hansen said. "We had a 14 month engagement."
Christi is going to keep her new ring on her finger, make the found diamond into a necklace, and put a new stone in the old setting so she has three pieces from her original wedding set to give her three sons in the future.

The movie "Last Vegas" is filming in Atlanta now after doing some work in Las Vegas. It stars a slew of A-listers, many of whom have been spotted here and there already.
Here's the latest: Morgan Freeman had dinner at Davio's Friday night, while Robert De Niro was spotted at the airport this morning. De Niro was here earlier this year filming "Killing Season" with John Travolta. Welcome back!
The movie filmed in the Edgewood area last week. It'll be doing some interior studio work next. I'll keep you posted.

I like both those guys. I did not know they made movies in Atlanta. What is there to film? A few buildings . Yes, southern hospitality, that would be nice. Now, if they wanted to shop at Walmart when it opened Thursday evening for Black Friday, the ole southern charm would be a bit hard to find.

He is a Clinical Professor (retired) in the Division of Emergency Medicine, UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, and has been the Chief of Emergency Medicine at UT Medical Branch and at UTHSCSA with over 250 publications.
GENERIC NAME: Tanacetum parthenium, Chrysanthemum parthenium
BRAND NAME: Feverfew, Bachelor's Buttons, Featherfew
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Tanacetum parthenium is an herb. The leaves are used as a natural herbal supplement. Tanacetum parthenium contains parthenolide, which works on serotonin receptors in the brain, giving relief from migraine headaches. Tanacetum parthenium is also believed to have anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, and anti-histamine effects. Check with your health-care professional before using herbs or herbal supplements.
PRESCRIPTION: No
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tanacetum parthenium is available as oral capsules, dried leaf extract, and as a liquid extract. Concentration of Tanacetum parthenium may vary from product-to-product due to multiple manufacturers producing various products.
STORAGE: Due to multiple manufacturers making different forms of Tanacetum parthenium, storage requirements may vary based on individual manufacturer practices.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Tanacetum parthenium is used for the prevention of migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, and skin irritations (itching, psoriasis) and many other ailments.
DOSING: Migraine headache prevention: Take 50 – 100 mg dried leaf extract by mouth once daily; for other preparations, see manufacturer's directions.
Safe and effective use of Tanacetum parthenium is not established for individuals under the age of 18.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Tanacetum parthenium should be used with caution with warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), and aspirin because Tanacetum parthenium can decrease clotting, increasing bleeding risk from these medications.
Tanacetum parthenium may reduce break down or conversion of drugs in the liver. Examples include omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), amiodarone (Cordarone), lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), and itraconazole (Sporanox). Check with your doctor before using this herbal product.
PREGNANCY: Tanacetum parthenium may possibly cause miscarriage in pregnant women; therefore, it is not recommended for use in women who are pregnant or women who may become pregnant.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether Tanacetum parthenium enters breast milk; It should be avoided by nursing mothers to prevent harm to the newborn.
SIDE EFFECTS: Common side effects of Tanacetum parthenium are oral ulcers and tongue soreness if dried leaves are chewed. It can cause increased heart rates, dizziness, anxiety, sleeplessness, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and diarrhea.

Does A New Cellulose Dressing Have Potential In Chronic Wounds?
- Volume 17 - Issue 3 - March 2004
- 8341 reads
- 0 comments
The patient lives one hour from the clinic and has missed several appointments, but I maintained phone contact weekly to stress to the patient the need for follow-up and to remind her of the signs of worsening of the condition.
Two months later, the wound was unchanged. I obtained a wound biopsy and requested quantitative analysis. At this point, I initiated the antimicrobial XCell wound dressing along with continued sharp debridement. The patient began performing dressing changes herself with the XCell dressing, followed by normal saline moistened gauze and Kling every other day.
Results of quantitative analysis was 2.2 x 10^6 bacteria, gram positive cocci. I did not initiate an oral antibiotic based on the clinical exam and my clinical experience.
A month later, the exam showed resolution of the ulceration so I discontinued the wound care regimen and fit the patient for multi-density insoles and extra depth shoes. I encouraged the patient to continue nonweightbearing to prevent reoccurrence until she receives her new insoles and shoes.
In Conclusion
This biosynthesized cellulose wound dressing, which has a dual moisture handling capability to donate moisture to dry surfaces and absorb fluid from a highly hydrated environment, shows promise in caring for diverse wounds. The ease of application and the ability to leave the dressing in place for up to seven days allows the private practice clinician to offer wound care services within his or her own practice, and schedule follow up care that is more manageable on a weekly basis.
Does this mean we only need to have one type of wound care dressing available in our clinics? That remains to be seen. However, the concepts that originated this material are founded in sound science and as I have used the wound dressing in a wide variety of cases, I have found it useful in almost every case. As always, we cannot forget the need for sharp debridement, when appropriate, as well as a complete and comprehensive history, physical exam, and clinical assessment of the patient and the wound to determine why the wound has gone from an acute wound to a chronic wound.
All wounds need some sort of dressing and XCell may be able to play a more significant role as the first choice, regardless of the wound type, due to its pure nature to hydrate dry necrotic areas, cleanse wound margins and to absorb excess exudate when present.

Browning Hamburger
One thing that I do to simplify cooking is to brown a lot of hamburger when ever I need some. Then I use what I need right then, and put the rest into baggies or containers and put in the freezer for next time I need browned hamburger. This makes spaghetti, or chili, or hamburger helper, or tacos, just a little faster! In some cases it also saves from having to use and wash a skillet.

For League of Women Voters, prison system is a shambles
Sponsored by the Hollis Women's Club, "Take the Keys and Lock Her Up," is the result of three years of research by members of the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire, who are now sharing what they've learned.
The talks offer some background on the state's decision to defend against a lawsuit filed by four women inmates at the State Prison for Women in Goffstown, alleging the state is violating their constitutional rights by failing to treat them the way male inmates are treated.
"There's a vast expanse of difference in how we are treating men and women," said league co-president Liz Tentarelli, who headed up the study with league vice president Peg Fargo.
According to Tentarelli and Fargo, men at the state prison on Concord have access to medical care when they need it. But at Goffstown, state budget cuts now mean there's no back up for a staff that's already stretched thin. If the Goffstown nurse calls in sick, there's no infirmary that day and inmates who are sick stay in their cells.
At Concord, a mental health staff provides consistent care for male inmates with structured group treatment and activities, crisis intervention and a special unit for the mentally ill.
"They are not providing adequate treatment for mental health and substance abuse at the Goffstown women's prison," said Tentarelli.
Fargo said there's a tremendous need for those services.
As many as 90 percent of the women in the prison have drug- or alcohol-related issues, said Fargo. A large majority have trauma-related problems. They have been abused physically or emotionally at some time in their lives.
At Concord, men can attend classes and study for high school diplomas four days a week. Teachers spend the fifth day at Goffstown.
An industrial training program at Concord offers inmates a chance to learn trades such as building wooden furniture, upholstering, graphic arts and cooking.
"This is what women learn for skills," said Tentarelli as she clicked a button on a laptop that flashed an image of crocheted baby blankets and hand-painted birdhouses on the screen above her head.
For the women there is no training for skills that would provide a competitive wage, she said.
Part of the problem is the old building at Goffstown, which doesn't have space for those types of programs. It also doesnt have space for the inmates. The building has room for 105 inmates. There are currently 127 women there but, in the past, there have been as many as 140.
At one point there were 60 women sharing three toilets, said Fargo.
The League of Women Voters is the fourth group to study the conditions at Goffstown, and no one denies there are problems. And just about everyone agrees that a new system with better services is the key to helping inmates rebuild their lives and avoid returning to prison once they are released. But for years, the state Legislature has voted against spending $37 million to build a new women's prison, Fargo said.
The cost of construction has risen to $42 million, and the state is waiting to hear from a consultant hired to review bids from private companies interested taking over the entire prison system.
The League is researching the privatization of prisons and, so far, members aren't optimistic about what they've learned.
"It's our great hope that this might be our year," said Tentarelli. "We are hoping that a new group of legislators will begin to look at a better solution. It's still a very punitive system when you put people in a facility where there is no hope."
The League has looked at different solutions and when members return to Hollis on Feb. 6, they will talk about alternative sentencing for non-violent offenders.
The last talk of the series will focus on the option of privatizing prisons and on education and training and how to help women become self-sufficient.
For Fargo, the immediate goal is to start the conversation on the impact incarcerating women has on those individuals, their children and families, and their cities and towns.
"This is a time when New Hampshire should be sitting down as a group trying to figure out what we want to do here," she said.
"What do you want to do?" she asked the small crowd in Hollis. "These women will be released and they are coming back to your community."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – With less than 24 hours to go until the Super Bowl, local restaurants are gearing up for one of the busiest days of the year.
"All the employees are working that day. We've passed out advertisements, we'll hopefully be ready for the game," Daniel Kosztowny, owner of Jet's Pizza said.
Jet's Pizza in Middletown opened 4 months ago and says for the big game, its offering specials on pizza, wing and breadstick combo's.
Across the country, Super Bowl Sunday is the busiest day of the year for pizza delivery drivers with almost twice as many pies sold on the big day than on any other day of the year.
