T o help improve the quality of graphics in games, offers the basic anti-aliasing modes as well as their Edge Detection technology as well. Various filters are used to help improve the image as the AMD hardware detects edges and applies them in those areas. Theoretically, you will get three times the sample rate with the advanced filtering methods. The AMD 4800 series increases the speed at which this can be achieved. In some cases, you can turn up to 8X AA with a minor performance hit over 4X AA.
Video support has always been a big part of the Radeon series of cards and the 4800 set is no exception. Unified Video Decoder 2 helps process video and alleviates the CPU from doing the work thereby offering smooth video playback. Codecs supported include VC-1, H.264, and MPEG-2. When converting video, you can get almost double the speed of real time for high definition video conversion. The HD 4800 series can upscale content past 1080p resolution so it can even enhance DVD picture quality on big displays. With onboard HDCP you'll be able to view all your HDCP protected content on HDCP supported displays. The series also features an HDMI connection so you can pipe both video and audio through one connection on the video card.
So in a nutshell, we have a very feature rich set for the ATI Radeon HD 4800 line of cards. Below is a quick rundown of features for the cards

The Radeon HD 4800 series looks to deliver performance in both games and video. AMD is looking to push multi-GPU setups rather than single high-end cards and having cards priced at a reasonable amount can help further this cause. I've been using NVIDIA cards in my main machines for the past few years so I'm anxious to see if the Radeon HD 4800 series can steer me back to the red side of things.

text: Matt I agree that if you wana keep the beard it's just gotta be kept neat. I don't really think you need a haircut but if you want one you should be going to a salon somewhere (barbershop may not do what I suggest but it's all the same really) and talk with the beautician stylist whatever and ask her you want to look professional but not sure what would look good on you and I she had any suggestions. Men and women have different face shapes and only certain hair styles work for certain shapes and a good stylist should know which is good for you.

Q: Are you just a "monkey's uncle"?
A: Perhaps the most bitter pill to swallow for any Christian who attempts to "make peace" with Darwin is the presumed ape ancestry of man. Even many Christians who uncritically accept evolution as "God's way of creating" try to somehow elevate the origin of man, or at least his soul, above that of the beasts.
God tells us that on the same day He made all animals that walk on the earth (the sixth day), He created man separately in His own image with the intent that man would have dominion over every other living thing on earth (Genesis 1:26–28). From this it is clear that there is no animal that is man's equal, and certainly none his ancestor.
Thus, when God paraded the animals by Adam for him to name, He observed that "for Adam there was not found an help meet for him" (Genesis 2:20). Jesus confirmed this uniqueness of men and women when He declared that marriage is to be between a man and a woman because "from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female" (Mark 10:6). This leaves no room for prehumans or for billions of years of cosmic evolution prior to man's appearance on the earth. Adam chose the very name "Eve" for his wife because he recognized that she would be "the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20).
The apostle Paul stated clearly that man is not an animal: "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds" (1 Corinthians 15:39).
It's clear that the idea of ape-men does not fit with what the Bible says, but what about all the supposed "evidence" for human evolution? Continue reading on our website to see what the facts of the fossil record really tell us.
I Am Not Ashamed!
I am not ashamed began with a simple conversation and prayerful consideration of what message America needs to hear most right now.
We knew we wanted a message that would focus on the Word of God. A powerful message that would resonate in the hearts of believers and challenge people everywhere to think about God. We also wanted a message that would offer a clear call to Christians around the world to stand unashamedly and uncompromisingly on the Bible.
Now, after months of prayerful preparation, we are about to launch a new website designed to bring people together for one cause—the authority of God's Word.
Coming soon—iamnotashamed.org.

hazbeen First Med Family & Walk-in Care
I have been a patient at FirstMed for a couple years now, and have nothing but positive praise for my treatment as a patient. The medical staff at FirstMed was able to cure me of a terrible intestinal infection, and I am so grateful that they listened to me when other physicians wrote off my symptoms as something more minor. Without their help I likely would have ended up hospitalized. During my treatment, they constantly called to check in on me, and made sure that I was seen promptly. I will never go to another physician in town.
mh_2246 First Med Family & Walk-in Care
I am very impressed by the team at First Med. I was recently in with my son after I was unable to get in to see my regular pediatrican (they didn't have any appts for over a month). We walked in late one afternoon and were seen almost immediately, even without an appt! The front desk staff was quick and polite and everyone was very friendly. I felt that all my questions were addressed in depth and the doctor took his time to examine my child and asked alot of questions about his overall health, He let me know what my options were for treatment and was helpful in explaining the medications and follow up care. It was the best experience I have had in a long time at a doctors office and we will definitely be back.
Oldsoul First Med Family & Walk-in Care
I believe the receptionists here could definitely improve on their communication skills and professionalism. As the first reviewer states above, they should not be making insulting judgments about people's ability to pay for services. Even if customers really cannot afford to pay, they do not deserve to be negatively judged. Likely I'm better educated than the receptionists/office personnel dealing with me, yet I was patronizingly treated like someone with zero healthcare savvy when I was actually exercising a smart choice by doing my best to avoid high emergency room costs for a non-urgent injury.
The receptionists should ask you how you plan to pay your medical charges ahead of time if you phone for an appointment to avoid unnecessary waiting and office delays. Also, they should ensure they do not share your private health and financial information with the entire waiting room. This outfit seems to provide a clear illustration of the failings of our for-profit health system.
Diva34 First Med Family & Walk-in Care
I recently had a horrible experience at First Med. I felt that based on the fact that I didn't have any health insurance, I was judged and not treated like a patient that may have had insurance. Hart who is listed as an ARNP, treated me as if I was only there for some sort of pain medication, when all I really wanted was an antibiotic for my swollen glands. He didn't ask what was wrong with me, he just read it off the sheet and started off by asking me what I could afford. I had the means to pay for the visit and any tests, but he was very short and at first didn't listen.
Once I explained that I have chronic kidney stones and stated that I have been to a neurologist, he began to listen (kidney stones and swollen glans was the reason for my visit). He debated whether or not to give me any sort of antibiotic and then proceeded to tell me he would prescribe me something that may or may not help. Is this how First Med treats all their patients w/out insurance?
I have friends that go to First Med and have never had a bad experience. I am very upset and disappointed and don't think anyone should be treated that way.
Business reply David Dunlap replies...
My apologies to you. Please call our office manager, Sue, to discuss this matter privately. We will do our best to solve any problems in person, over the phone, or by email in the future. We need your help to create a better patient experience when you are not satisfied.
David Dunlap, Owner and Physician
camillia replies...
I agree about Mr. Hart, when I first went he treated me like a drug seeker until I told him about my past diagnosis and surgeries. He had me in tears ready to leave actually. I encourage you to see Dr. Dunlap, he is very nice and understanding. He is my primary now, but my husband has seen 2 Dr.s there who were also outstanding and understanding. Mr. Hart just needs to learn some sensitivity.
ylime3499 First Med Family & Walk-in Care
Great customer service through the entire process! I had been sick for over a week after visiting my "normal" doctor. It was the weekend and I used the walk in service here, and was treated very kindly, quickly, and efficiently! Not only did they run different tests, but found the main issue and others that had arisen from not being diagnosed correctly the first time, and after only a day of the prescribed medications I felt better. I will never go anywhere else.

Official Christian Response to the Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson Debacle
4 months ago
Bold. Sassy. Flocking. Cute. Feathery and loud. These are all words that describe ducks, and when you think of a group of gay people having a good time, gaggling and sashaying about with plumed feather hats and molehair suits, wildly eating healthy grain products as they excitedly plan a vacation to South Florida for the winter, you may find these words describe gay people too. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of duck hunting, knows a thing or two about ducks. And […]

The Verano Turbo, with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder seen also in the Regal, is new for 2013. All Veranos now come standard with a backup camera. Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are included on all but the base model...more
The Verano is the smallest Buick sedan since the late, unlamented Skylark. Much has been made of the fact that the Verano is a sibling to the Chevy Cruze, but in fairness, GM has done a lot more to differentiate these siblings than it did with past models. Exterior changes include nearly all the sheetmetal as well as the glass area. Inside, the Verano gets its own dashboard and door panels, higher-grade materials, and wood trim. Leather is available, as are a heated steering wheel, a touch-screen navigation system, and keyless ignition. Although the Buick is 2.9 inches longer than the Cruze overall, it rides on the same 105.7-inch wheelbase, and the two cars have similar interior room and trunk space. There's more differentiation under the hood. The Verano's 2.4-liter engine is larger than the Cruze's 1.4-liter and 1.8-liter units, and the Buick's 180 hp is substantially more than the 138 hp cranked out by both Chevy engines. The flip side is that the Buick's 22/31 mpg ratings are significantly lower. The Verano now offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged four, which brings another 70 hp and 89 lb-ft of torque to the party. Unlike the standard Verano, the Turbo can be had with a manual transmission. It comes with a smattering of sport-sedan bits, as well as the equipment from the convenience and leather trim packages.
Front, knee, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; a tire-pressure monitor; stability and traction control; and a backup camera are standard. Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are standard on Convenience, Leather, Premium, and Turbo trims.

Ricco/Maresca's booth (#412) at the Outsider Art Fair
this year will feature several of the most celebrated Outsider masters, including Martín Ramírez, referred to as "one of the greatest artists of the 20th century" by Roberta Smith in her 2007 New York Times review. Ramírez's mysterious and complex body of work poignantly illuminates his life as a Mexican-American artist suspended between the two very separate worlds of his native, beloved Jalisco, Mexico and the confines of California's state institution system. His autobiographical imagery might be compared with the autobiographical art of Adolf Wölfli that Ricco/Maresca will also exhibit. Wölfli was the first artist acquired by Jean Dubuffet for his Collection de l'art brut, now housed in Lausanne, Switzerland. The booth will feature the abstract and strongly graphic drawings of the artist Günther Shützenhöfer, a resident of the Gugging House of Artists outside of Vienna, Austria.
Ricco/Maresca will bring to the OAF works by famed African-American self-taught artists Bill Traylor, Elijah Pierce, William Hawkins and Sam Doyle. All four of these artists were included in the seminal 1982 exhibition Black Folk Art in America 1930–1980 at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1982. Using primarily found materials, these artists created work inspired by observed life coupled with imagination, and developed thoroughly signature styles. Bill Traylor —born into a slave family, a former factory worker and homeless welfare recipient – created approximately 1,500 drawings of graphite and poster paint on cardboard between the years of 1939-1942. William Hawkins' selective eye seized images from newspapers, magazines, and advertisements from a suitcase archive he kept in his bedroom. Hawkins combined these images with his own recollections to create an expressive picture gallery of animals, American icons (such as the building of the Statue of Liberty), and historic events. Sam Doyle was born and spent his entire life on one of the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina. He created an "Out Door Art Gallery" populated by a diverse and colorful cast of local characters—some real, like his cousin, the island's first black midwife, and some imagined, like the ghost "Whooping Boy." Elijah Pierce turned his barbershop into a gallery for his painted wood reliefs of religious and popular imagery. "Every piece of wood I carve is a message, a sermon," he once remarked.
Contemporary artists George Widener, Ken Grimes and newly introduced Marcos Bontempo will share space in the booth. Self-taught artist and calendar savant George Widener creates mixed-media works on paper that give aesthetic, visible form to complex calculations based on dates and historical events – the sinking of the Titanic is one of his favorite. Widener currently has a major exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof museum in Berlin titled "Secret Universe IV: George Widener" through June 16, 2013. Based in Connecticut, Ken Grimes paints text-and-symbol images in acrylic on Masonite and paper that refer to extraterrestrial encounters and the influence of aliens in our world. He is fascinated with facts and errors that appear to be mere coincidences to most people. Marcos Bontempo was born in Argentina, but now lives and works in the romantic seaside town of Ronda, in Andalusian Spain; a home to poet Rainer Maria Rilke, Earnest Hemmingway, Orson Welles and renown bullfighter Antonio Ordonez. Painting with ink and salt on paper, Bontempo's expressive, often haunting polymorphous figures are certainly some of the most original art being produced today.
The gallery is hosting a Cocktail Party on Friday during the fair, February 1, 7-9PM, which will be held at Ricco/Maresca Gallery, 529 W 20 St, Fl. 3, where the exhibition Henry Darger: Landscapes is mounted. The party is in celebration of the launch of Ricco/Maresca's new website and online magazine Fluence. The double-sided paintings of Henry Darger will be flipped periodically for viewing during this party.

(rosiglitazone maleate) Tablets
- Patient Information:
Details with Side Effects
- Thiazolidinediones, including rosiglitazone, cause or exacerbate congestive heart failure in some patients [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. After initiation of AVANDIA, and after dose increases, observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure (including excessive, rapid weight gain, dyspnea, and/or edema). If these signs and symptoms develop, the heart failure should be managed according to current standards of care. Furthermore, discontinuation or dose reduction of AVANDIA must be considered.
- AVANDIA is not recommended in patients with symptomatic heart failure. Initiation of AVANDIA in patients with established NYHA Class III or IV heart failure is contraindicated. [See CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS.]
- A meta-analysis of 52 clinical trials (mean duration 6 months; 16,995 total patients), most of which compared AVANDIA to placebo, showed AVANDIA to be associated with a statistically significant increased risk of myocardial infarction. Three other trials (mean duration 46 months; 14,067 total patients), comparing AVANDIA to some other approved oral antidiabetic agents or placebo, showed a statistically non-significant increased risk of myocardial infarction, and a statistically non-significant decreased risk of death. There have been no clinical trials directly comparing cardiovascular risk of AVANDIA and ACTOS® (pioglitazone, another thiazolidinedione), but in a separate trial, pioglitazone (when compared to placebo) did not show an increased risk of myocardial infarction or death. [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS.]
- Because of the potential increased risk of myocardial infarction, AVANDIA is available only through a restricted distribution program called the AVANDIA-Rosiglitazone Medicines Access Program. Both prescribers and patients need to enroll in the program. To enroll, call 1-800-AVANDIA or visit www.AVANDIA.com. [See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS.]
AVANDIA (rosiglitazone maleate) is an oral antidiabetic agent which acts primarily by increasing insulin sensitivity. AVANDIA improves glycemic control while reducing circulating insulin levels.
Rosiglitazone maleate is not chemically or functionally related to the sulfonylureas, the biguanides, or the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
Chemically, rosiglitazone maleate is (±)-5-[[4-[2-(methyl-2- pyridinylamino)ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2,4-thiazolidinedione, (Z)-2-butenedioate (1:1) with a molecular weight of 473.52 (357.44 free base). The molecule has a single chiral center and is present as a racemate. Due to rapid interconversion, the enantiomers are functionally indistinguishable. The structural formula of rosiglitazone maleate is:
The molecular formula is C18H19N3O3S•C4H4O4. Rosiglitazone maleate is a white to off-white solid with a melting point range of 122° to 123°C. The pKa values of rosiglitazone maleate are 6.8 and 6.1. It is readily soluble in ethanol and a buffered aqueous solution with pH of 2.3; solubility decreases with increasing pH in the physiological range.
Each pentagonal film-coated TILTAB tablet contains rosiglitazone maleate equivalent to rosiglitazone, 2 mg, 4 mg, or 8 mg, for oral administration. Inactive ingredients are: Hypromellose 2910, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol 3000, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide, triacetin, and 1 or more of the following: Synthetic red and yellow iron oxides and talc.
What are the possible side effects of rosiglitazone (Avandia)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using rosiglitazone and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
- swelling or rapid weight gain;
- chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, sweating, general ill feeling;
- nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the...

My thoughts and prayers go out this week to all the people who have been affected by the storm that hit the east coast this week. It must have been very terrifying for all of the people left in the wake of the storm. And now begins the massive job of cleaning up the mess left behind. Please keep all of these people, especially those who lost loved ones, in your thoughts and prayers.

Bruno Latour fans will know that the French anthropologist's long-awaited follow-up to 1991′s game-changing theoretical provocation We Have Never Been Modern was released in its English translation just a few weeks ago. The book is called An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence (and is becoming better known by its acronym "AIME"), and it provides a state-of-the-art summation of Latour's project of producing an "anthropology of the moderns" — that is, of us.
Most interestingly, it does this as a multi-phase exercise in "interactive metaphysics," which includes a participatory online web site intended to fill in the details and elicit commentary, debate, and refinement.
Hard-core fans will also likely have heard about Adam Robbert's online AIME research group, which will be conducting a group reading beginning next week. The group currently involving several dozen participants (including myself — so you will be hearing about it here), but it is open to the public.

Seasonic PSUs Will Power HashFast Bitcoin Miners
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling, Systems | October 22, 2013 - 07:10 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: seasonic, Power Supplies, mining, bitcoin, asic
Seasonic (Sea Sonic Electronics) has announced a design win that will see its power supplies used in HashFast's bitcoin mining rigs. The upcoming HashFast mining rigs feature the company's "Golden Nonce" ASIC(s) and all-in-one water coolers. HashFast has a single ASIC Baby Jet and multi-ASIC Sierra rig. Both units will be available December 15 starting at $2,250 and $6,300 respectively.
The Seasonic power supplies are high efficiency models with Japanese capacitors and at least 80 PLUS Bronze. On the high end, Seasonic has PSUs that are up to 93% efficient. HashFast stated that it chose Seasonic for its mining rigs because of the build quality and efficiency. The Baby Jet and Sierra mining rigs allow users to overclock the ASICs, and the systems can be rather demanding on PSUs.
The Golden Nonce ASIC is a 28nm chip that is rated at 400 GHash/s and 0.65 Watts per Gigahash.
Beyond that, the companies have not gone into specifics. It is good news for Seasonic, and should mean a stable system for bitcoin miners (the 93% efficiency rating is nice as well, as it means less wasted electricity and slightly more bitcoin mining profit).
The full press blast is below for reference.

Thermaltake Announces Haswell-Compatible Power Supplies
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 21, 2013 - 11:52 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: be quiet, Power Supplies, haswell, Intel, c6, c7
In addition to Be Quiet!, Thermaltake has announced its own list of Haswell-compatible PSUs. The majority of high end Thermaltake power supplies will work with Haswell and its new sleep states. Further, all of the current generation high-end and mid-range Thermaltake power supplies are compatible with the new CPUs.
Power supplies in the Toughpower, EVO, and Smart M family are compatible with Haswell. Specifically, the chart below details which specifc models are compatible with Haswell and the new C6 and C7 low power sleep states.
The following companies have also listed Haswell-compatible power supplies:
German PSU Manufacturer Be Quiet! Lists Its Haswell-Ready Power Supplies
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 21, 2013 - 10:50 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sleep state, PSU, Power Supplies, haswell, c7, c6, be quiet
Be quiet!, a power supply manufacturer based in Germany, has announced that almost all of its recent power supply lineups are fully compatible with Intel's upcoming Haswell processors. The PC Perspective team has talked in-depth about the new C6 and C7 sleep states used by Haswell CPUs. However, for the uninitiated, the new Intel processors have two new low power sleep states. The lowest state, C7, draws as little as 0.05A from the 12V PSU rail. That is a good thing, but not all power supplies will be compatible with the new sleep states as such low load on the 12V rail was not a concern when the PSUs were designed and manufactured. Notably, even incompatible power supplies will still work in Haswell systems, but those computers will not be able to enter the lower-power C6 and/or C7 sleep states.
There is good news for users of Be Quiet! Power supplies, however. The following power supplies are fully compatible with Haswell and the new sleep states:
- Dark Power Pro 10 Series (all models)
- Straight Power E9 Series (all models)
- Pure Power L8 Series (all models)
- System Power 7 Series (all models)
- Pure Power L7 Series (the 630W and 730W models only)
Older Be Quiet! power supplies will still work in Haswell systems, but use of the lowest power C7 state is not recommended. Fortunately, most desktop users can live without the new low power states (which, while nice to have, the new sleep states are more beneficial to laptop users).
As the launch of Haswell approaches, more and more PSU manufacturers are releasing compatibility information. So far, the following companies have put together compatibility lists.
Seasonic Releases Information On Its Haswell-Ready Power Supplies

Tagged: seasonic, haswell, Power Supplies, PSU, 0.05A
Following the announcements from other power supply manufacturers, Seasonic has now released a list of its own power supplies that are compatible with Intel's upcoming Haswell processor. The new Haswell CPUs, set to launch June 3rd, incorporate new C6 and C7 sleep states that draw as little as 0.05A from the 12V PSU rail. Because of the low load, some existing power supplies will have issues with the new sleep states and could result in system instability. In light of that, many manufacturers are validating their existing lineups to determine which ones are compatible.
As of the time of publication, the following power supplies from Seasonic are compatible with Haswell and the new sleep states.

Platinum Fanless Series
M12 II Evo Edition Series

ThermalTake at CES 2012
Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 9, 2012 - 04:06 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: thermaltake, Power Supplies, Keyboards, headphones, CES 2012, CES, cases
Last year at CES, ThermalTake had a rather sparse room of equipment to show off. This year, the room was much fuller in terms of new and interesting products. ThermalTake is a company that is not afraid to jump into new categories, and in this case we are seeing two areas that are a bit foreign to most PC enthusiasts.
ThermalTake was one of the first companies that did not have a background in power supplies to actually move into that industry. The first series of power supplies were actually quite impressive for the time, and they helped to set a new standard that would eventually be followed by the likes of Coolermaster and Corsair. This year they are introducing some improvements in their design and component choices that should allow them to approach the quality and features of industry leaders like Silverstone and Corsair. ThermalTake has the Platinum series which promises up to 93% efficiency and the platinum rating. They are also offering slightly lower gold rated supplies that are now available in white. ThermalTake is a rather fluid company when it comes to products though, and it will be interesting to see what actually gets delivered to market vs. what all was shown. We will see the Platinum series and the white products, but some details may change as well as differences in cable choices. They did show off the massive 1475 watt unit which is also able to power your arc welder...

cool face protection in a small package. Easy to carry around in your pocket. Stands up well to moisture and sun.
Very very convenient for on the go SPF protection and moisturizing. Its a little bit oilier than I would've liked but good for the winter months when the air is much dryer.
Product works great as a moisturizer. I haven't used it as much as I thought I would. It's good to keep on hand and it's small and easy to take with you anywhere. Fits in a pocket perfectly.
While I am out enjoying the nice summer days I know at the same time that i also have the full safe protection on my lips.
Nice product don't use these type of things normally but came in handy on our cruise. No dried out or burnt lips.
It can take a while to cover your whole face with this thing, and it can be difficult to tell if you are actually getting the coverage you would like to be getting. But it definitely is a convenient alternative to carrying around a liquid or a spray.
My nose cheekbone areas burn easily in the sun, so like having this handy. This is a great product to have in your pocket for quick sun protection.
If you have any sensitivity to the chemicals in regular sunscreen, this stick is perfect. It is clear and goes on easily, and you can carry it with you. I love it because it is one of the few sunscreens I can use on my face that will not give me an itchy rash, and unlike zinc creams it doesn't make you look like a patchy ghost. It is made for guys, but I'm a girl and I love it anyway.
I wasn't sure I'd actually enjoy this product as it reminded me of a lip balm but it wasn't as bad as I had expected.
This stuff is much more convenient than carrying around a spray can or tube of sunscreen. For me it lasted about 4-5 hours before I had to re-apply. Felt a little greasy at first, but it fades.

The first order of business for the day in Mui Ne is at sunrise, when the fishermen arrive with their daily catch. Hundreds of people gather to collect, clean and trade the fish and prawns that have been caught, and for a short while, the beachfront is alive with the activity of trade.
The hats, which you see all over Vietnam are known in Vietnamese as "Nón Lá".

Thanks to an Internet outage traced to a maintenance project in Arizona, a few thousand Cable One customers in the county were offline for several hours.
Work stopped, or at least slowed. Frustration grew. For the affected, there was no choice but to go old school — landline telephone calls, for instance, instead of emails or Google searches. Those who had Internet access on their smartphones could still get online, though that's not the same as a 19-inch screen and full-size keyboard sitting on your desk.
On Twitter, Calhoun Countians such as Katy Cairo, the digital media director for Anniston-based WideNet Consulting, struggled to hide their exasperation. When Cable One's Internet connection resumed around noon, Cairo was one of those who rejoiced.
"It's back!!! #theinternet," she tweeted.
In other words, life commenced.
In the grand scheme of things, Tuesday was but a mere blip in modern technology. Outages aren't infrequent. But when they happen during the workweek, they reinforce how dependent many businesses, workers and consumers have become on a reliable connection to the Web. If you were one of those in Calhoun County whose productivity was slowed Tuesday by Cable One's problem in Arizona, you fully understand.
As for those who aren't married to the Internet, Tuesday's slowdown may have seemed much ado about nothing. In fact, Alabama — one of the least-wired states — is home to a high percentage of adults who do not have Internet access either at home or at work. They are the Internet-less generation.
In Alabama, 33.5 percent of residents have no Internet connection anywhere, according to July 2013 data from Governing.com (38th out of 50 states). Only one other state, Montana (9.4 percent), ranks worse than Alabama (9.3) for having residents who connect to the Internet somewhere but have no home connection. Among the uber-wired — those who connect at home and on multiple devices and locations — Alabama ranks 47th, at only 20.1 percent.
Fifteen percent of American adults do not use email or the Web, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Alabama, it would seem, could be ground zero for those who either (a.) want to use the Internet but don't have it, or (b.) don't use it for anything.
Studies such as the Pew report show the deep divide among regions (the South has the least Internet usage) and generations (retirees and the elderly are the least-wired). Eventually, time and improvements in broadband access will lessen those traits.
But make no mistake: we are married to the Web, for commerce, for communication, for work. Momentary blips, albeit short, are shocks to the system.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been flirting with its all-time high for several sessions and any positive economic data this week could trigger the confetti. But some analysts say behind the hoopla are signs of a pullback.
The Dow's all-time intraday high was 14,164.53, a record set on Oct. 9, 2007. The blue-chip index has been within 50 points of that level since last week.
"The closer we get to these milestone events, the market's going to want to hit it," Mark Eibel of Russell Investments told CNBC. If not the ISM services report, a good jobs report could push the Dow to a new record. "The key question will be whether we hold it," he added.
Global markets find themselves caught between growing economic and political uncertainty and extraordinary central bank support. Automatic spending cuts have kicked in in the U.S., China has taken new steps to tamp down its property market and an electoral stalemate in Italy could mean a new election. But with the Fed supporting stocks and a new high for the Dow within reach, positive U.S. economic data tomorrow could push the markets to a new record.
Economists are looking for the February ISM non-manufacturing index to come in at 55, down slightly from the 55.2 reading in January. A reading above 50 indicates expansion and a better-than-expected reading could be what pushes markets upward.
"There is no conviction in the market from what we can see," Keith Bliss of Cuttone & Co. told CNBC on Monday. "You look at this grind higher and you have dividend payers and defensive stocks moving along with it. Generally, that's a trend you don't see."
He noted that the market leaders have been consumer staples and the utilities. "Now that is just bizarre behavior for a market that's trending higher," he said. "I think the bias for this market is downward trending." It could take a slightly negative jobs report or ongoing political paralysis in Washington to tip markets into a slide, he said.
Concerns about the health of the economy may be one reason for investors' ongoing defensiveness. The $85 billion in U.S. spending cuts officially took effect over the weekend. While stocks so far have largely ignored the concerns over the sequester, analysts say signs the cuts are starting to weaken the anemic economic recovery could eventually move markets.

According to Austan Goolsbee, an economist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, the economic consequences of the sequester are not dire, but it could cut growth below 2 percent. Goolsbee told CNBC if growth falls below 2 percent, "I think we ought to expect the unemployment rate to start drifting up again because that's below the productivity rate."
The February jobs report is due out on Friday. Economists currently expect to see 160,000 jobs added to nonfarm payrolls and for the unemployment rate to hold at 7.9 percent, according to consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters. That is well above the 6.5 percent level of unemployment the Federal Reserve is targeting before it begins to withdraw its highly accommodative monetary policy.
Fed vice chair Janet Yellen on Monday said the central bank's aggressive monetary stimulus is warranted since the economy continues to operate well below its full potential.

Global Growth Fears
While the sluggish U.S. economic recovery continues and housing picks up, there are new concerns about the health of the global economy. Chinese policymakers announced new measures aimed at reining in the real estate sector, stoking fears about a broader China slowdown. That weighed on iron ore companies on Monday like Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton as China could consume less of the commodity used in steel production.

Political stalemate in Italy also has focused attention on the fact that the euro zone debt crisis remains unresolved. Failure to form a new government could mean Italians will have to return to the polls.
"There is a concern that the vote in Italy marks the end of the latency phase induced by the ECB's commitment to do what is necessary to preserve the monetary union," BBH's global head of currency strategy Marc Chandler wrote in a research note.
(Read More: New 'Powerful Force' to Underpin Stock Rally)
With Italian bond yields rising, there will be renewed focus on what steps the European Central Bank can take to prevent a greater flare up in the region's debt crisis. Last year, the ECB soothed markets after it made a conditional promise to buy bonds issued by struggling euro zone countries.
And with European and U.K. economic growth fading, the ECB and Bank of England could eventually be forced to loosen monetary policy. Both central banks meet on Thursday. The Bank of Japan will also release a policy statement on Thursday.

But central bank action can only do so much without action from political leaders to address the structural issues plaguing many developed economies.
"We have had a situation not only in the U.S., but also in Europe, of overburdening monetary policy," JPMorgan International Chairman Jacob Frenkel told CNBC. "Much of the burden is being put on the Fed and on the European Central Bank in Europe. It is a good strategy to give the governments time to do their job, but you can't give too much time. It's not healthy."
Nonetheless, central bank policy can continue to support equity markets this year. David Kelly, global strategist at JPMorgan Funds, told CNBC the Fed's $85 billion monthly bond buying is "fixing" markets so that investors cannot make money in cash or long-term government bonds.
"That's what's pushing money toward stocks," he said. "It's not that stocks are so cheap. It's that Treasurys and cash are so expensive."
(Read More: Buffett Still Buying Stocks, Sees 'Good Value')
Sam Stovall, S&P Capital IQ's chief equity strategist, also said stocks may struggle after hitting a new high. "The S&P 500 may have little time to rejoice following the setting of a new record high before collapsing once again, as the median advance following the recovery to break even from bear markets since World War II has only been three percent before stumbling and falling into another meaningful decline within only two months," he wrote in a note.

Combining a kettle, infuser, and teapot, this is the electric tea maker that lets users set the precise steep time to brew the perfect cup or pot. Simply fill the reservoir with cold water and set the preferred steeping time, from two to 16 minutes. The device quickly heats the water to the optimal brewing temperature of 194� F, then releases it into the steeping chamber which can be filled with bagged or loose-leaf tea. When the selected steeping time has elapsed - a short two minutes for green Sencha, or a seven-minute swirl for Chinese Oolong - the brewed tea is dispensed into the glass carafe. A warming plate keeps tea hot for an hour before automatically turning off. The 32-oz. glass carafe, steeping chamber, and tea filter wash easily by hand. Plugs into AC. 16" H x 10 1/4" W x 9 3/4" D.

Florida has nation's second-largest jobs gap, study saysby Jeff Ostrowski
Florida needs to create some 770,000 jobs to get "back to normal," according to an analysis by The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution.
Only California has a bigger gap, the study finds. And this estimate might be optimistic — a separate study by Florida International University says Florida needs to create 980,000 jobs.
Florida's labor department is scheduled to release August job figures tomorrow morning.

What is your first thought when you think of attractive churches? Is it the building, or is it the people?
This topic will cause some discomfort for many of you. The very thought of the presence of power groups seems contrary to the spirit and grace of the gospel. But power groups are very real in churches.
Perhaps our comfort level can increase a bit by calling the groups "influencers" rather than power groups. Choose your label. The fact of the matter is that most churches have a clearly known group that carries the most influence in the church. And it is not unusual for that group to have a clearly known leader.

Yes gentlemen... It is on tonight. I will watch for the freak show factor and I apologise in advance.
I do like Choi a lot though ane feel that he can makke some waves if he is managed better. He seemed to lose a lot since his operation though.
A bit more interested in Kawajiri-Cavalcante, but yeah, I'll be watching too. Can't believe it will be good for Canseco.
What is wrong with Canseco? He must really need the money.
I think you nailed it first try.
He did better than I thought.
Yeah I was surprised too. He landed a few good shots, but every time he threw a punch or came close he turned and ran away.
I think Choi, with his toughness power and wrestling skills could have been something else had he not had to have that tumor removed. He really is a different fighter now. He seems more timid and frail.
If Canseco hadn't hurt his knee, he might have lasted, what, five minutes?
Agreed, Choi looks pretty bad compared to when he fought Fedor.
How long ago was it that Crocop beat Choi?
Just a few months. They fought on New years eve I beleive. Choi goes into his MMA matches witha serious handicap. He is not allowed to throw knees
I think he was allowed knees versus Canseco--they kept talking about how Canseco should watch out for them, didn't they?
I dunno. I watched it in Korean. I know he was not allowed to use them vs Fedor or Cro Cop. I only assumed the same with Canseco.
Why no knees?
I don't know. but the rule was NOT in effect for this fight, because Choi actually throws a knee at around the 53 second mark...
There is a rule somewhere that says if there is a certain size dicrepancy between fighters, then the larger fighter can't throw knees. I am quite certain that was the fact when he fought Fedor and I remember Cro Cop complaining about a knee.
Of course that was on New Years eve and before I gave up drinking!
I guess we'll never know then, huh? Well, at 6'4", Canseco must have exceeded the height limitation....
I was thinking that as I watched the fight that Choi's knee would be right in Crocop's chin with minimal effort but that's a bullshit rule. Make a super heavy class if its that unfair.
It's not unfair. If Choi's knees were quicker, it might be, but they're not....
Did you see Mousassi fight? It wasn't much, but this guy's death to strikers and usually fights at middleweight. Love to see him and A. Silva go at it.
Crocop still has one of the deadliest kicks in the business, if not the deadliest.
Haven't seen it in action in a while, tho...been a string of losses. I'm sure you're right, but it needs to reappear.
I just watched a Crocop highlight flic on youtube the other day for the hell of it. It makes you remember real quick.
It's not that I don't remember--I do. just haven't seen it for a while. He might have made an interesting opponent for Machida...

"I think my next time as Nick Fury is in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' Because I'm not in 'Iron Man 3,'" he told Total Film (via MTV). "None of the Avengers are in 'Iron Man 3.' It's a standalone 'Iron Man' movie." So that will still leave plenty for fans to speculate about, particularly when it comes to the post credit sequence. With none of the Avengers being involved, will we get another tease of Thanos? Maybe Frank Grillo's Crossbones from 'The Winter Soldier' will buy some pad thai? Or maybe the still alive Agent Coulson will tease the upcoming "S.H.I.E.L.D." show. Whatever happens, it won't be Nick Fury's job this time around.
"Iron Man 3" opens on May 5, 2013 and you can check out some very serious looking new images right here.

I want to start off this week by talking about a player that I don't think gets enough recognition in fantasy circles. Ryan Miller has seven wins in nine games, including two shutouts. His 1.62 goals-against-average leads the league and his 0.942 save percentage is second only to the never say die guy, Tim Thomas.
Since becoming the Sabres full-time starter, Miller's games played has risen from 48 to 63 to last year's 76 games. Over those three seasons, he has a 2.65 goals-against-average, a 0.910 save percentage and averaged 35 wins.
Miller is only 28-years-old and in his fourth full season. Goaltenders traditionally take longer to become dominant fantasy players. Miller followed up his worst outing of the season, a five-goal shellacking from the Lightning, by posting back-to-back shutouts.
There is only one trend that may cause some concern. In each of his last three seasons, his numbers have fallen off after the All-Star game. That is the reason the Sabres made sure that they signed a legitimate back-up to properly spell Miller (hint: M-I-L-L-E-R) during the season, so as not to overwork him. All the signs point to a breakout season from Miller.
Department of Edge-u-cation
Sticking with the goaltending theme; over Tim Thomas' last four games, he's only allowed four goals against and has a save percentage of 0.970. There is no goaltending controversy in Beantown. Rodney Dangerfield gets more respect than Thomas.
What's My Line? According to the depth chart, Jeff Carter (11-9-3-12) was listed as the third line centre. Carter has averaged an amazing 21-plus minutes per game, which was the second most on the team.
The Marc Savard of two seasons ago has returned. After back-to-back seasons of 97 and 96 points, last year's 78 points were a disappointment. The feisty center is off to a great start this year with 15 points in 12 games and the 24 penalty minutes are a bonus.
Mike Van Ryn isn't getting top power play ice time, but has eight points in 12 games. He is finally healthy and does have a couple of 37 point seasons in his past, so 35-40 points is possible.
The fog has cleared. It's great to see Simon Gagne and Patrice Bergeron back and performing well since returning from serious head injuries. Gagne has eight goals and 14 points in only ten games and Bergeron has eight points in 12 games.
Johnny Oduya isn't a good bet to repeat his plus-27 of last year. Oh sure, he's plus-8 already this year, but with Brodeur gone for the bulk of the season, every Devil is going to have scars after this season.
I am finding myself doing something I never thought I would…rooting for the Leafs! How can you not cheer for a team that works so hard? The comeback kids indeed! Toskala is a great goalie for this team; he can consistently make key saves to keep them in games. Ninth place!
After going pointless in his first seven games, Mikhail Grabovski has scored seven points in his last six games. Nikolai Kulemin has four assists in his last two contests. Niklas Hagman has scored nine points in his last seven games after recording only one point in his first six games.
Filip Kuba is getting an opportunity to play some significant minutes on the power play. He's averaging almost six minutes per game on the power play. In 12 games, Kuba has 13 assists, eight of which have come with the man advantage. Just keep in mind that his career high is only 37 points. Ten goals and 40 assists is a very real possibility for the 31-year-old.
Inside Edge Picks for Next Week
Montreal plays four games in the week starting this Friday. Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn have started slowly for the Canadiens, but this coming week might be just what the doctor ordered. Last year, against the four teams they will be playing this week, Plekanec scored 22 points in 25 games and Kostitsyn had 22 points in 24 games.
Three Up (Buy Low)
Derek Roy is on pace for 40 points. He has a history of being a streaky scorer. Roy should still end up with 75-80 points.
Martin St.Louis is getting the most power play time on his team and over 21 minutes of ice time per game. After seasons of 102 and 83, the diminutive winger will get back on track in short order.
Last season, from December onwards, Nicklas Backstrom recorded 55 points in 56 games. This season, he started with only one point in his first six games, but has followed that with three points in his last five. Backstrom is averaging 18:29 ice time and getting prime time on a potent power play unit. He will be fine once Ovechkin gets back to his high scoring ways.
Three Down (Sell High)
With ten points in 13 games, Niklas Hagman has gotten off to a tremendous start. The line of Hagman, Nikolai Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski is clicking right now, but the 29-year-old Hagman's career high is only 41 points. Cash in if you can.
Doug Weight has ten points in the first 12 games. The fact he has this many points to begin the season is surprising enough, but there is no way the 37-year-old will maintain this pace. I think 60 points is optimistic at this stage of his career. Not too much upside here.
Brandon Dubinsky's production has slowed and he only has three points in his last six games. He'll still set career highs with 20 goals and between 50-55 points. With 12 points in 15 games, now would be a good time to trade him for a legitimate 70-point player.

Regional Conservation Initiatives
Throughout the country, the Izaak Walton League is restoring watersheds, reducing air pollution, protecting wildlife habitat and open spaces, and instilling conservation ethics in outdoor recreationists. Several regions pose special challenges in conserving fish, wildlife, and their habitats.
Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
At 1.1 million acres in size, the Boundary Waters is the largest wilderness east of the Rockies and north of Florida's Everglades. Wildly popular, the BWCAW is the most heavily visited area in the entire national wilderness system. Protecting this area has been a priority for the League since the 1920s. In fact, the Izaak Walton League is the only conservation organization that has fought every battle since the 1920s to protect this beautiful and popular area.
Increasing amounts of excess nutrients, sediment, and toxic substances are causing serious ecological problems in the Chesapeake Bay. Studies show alarming declines in species of fish and wildlife and in the habitat available to them. In spite of cleanup efforts, the health of the Chesapeake Bay remains very poor. The League is working to protect and restore this national treasure through citizen engagement and advocacy for strong pollution reduction and restoration strategies
The League educates and advocates for restoration of our beautiful Great Lakes. Our current focus is stopping aquatic invasive species. Learn more about how you can help us protect and restore this national treasure.
The League has established an initiative dedicated to promoting conservation of the Missouri River resources and watershed within the tri-state region of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
Mississipi River
The Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) has been a focal point of League efforts since our founding in 1922. From driving the creation of the Upper Mississippi River Fish and Wildlife Refuge in 1924 to the establishment in 1984 of a permanent UMRB office charged with river protection and agricultural conservation, the course plotted by the League has followed the great river.
