For too long I've endangered my good name, made an idiot of myself and generally debased my own character on a daily basis.
Because of breasts.
No matter how many breasts I might see or how many I'm lucky enough to touch, the second they're gone, I forget what they looked like, felt like, and I become inexplicably, dark-magically obsessed with them again. It's like I have sensory amnesia. Oh, look at that woman's wonderful breasts! I wonder what they look like?
Because, really, they aren't impressionist art. They all have the same basic components, yet as far as I'm concerned, each pair is a set of snowflakes, their likeness never before seen and never to be seen again.
Like old family secrets regarding Lebanese bank accounts and tax fraud, breasts have haunted me. In so many of my decisions -- what train car to sit in, which tax agent at Jackson Hewitt to use, whom I date -- breasts have been, ridiculously, the deciding factor.
Every time I step outside my front door, I'm subconsciously indexing all the important things I need to be aware of. Cars, buses, cabs, anything that moves and could break my spine? Check. Where I'm going, how to get there, and what time it is? Check. Is that dog poop on the sidewalk? Yes. But the remaining percentage of my brain? It's focusing on breasts. If it's between catching a train and taking an extra 10 seconds to stare at the top half of some woman digging in her purse for her cell phone, I'm missing the train.
It has to end. I must become Spartacus to Breasts' Rome. Here is my plan.
I don't stare at woman's breasts, unless I'm wearing sunglasses. You know what? That's not cool. No more. For years I've allowed myself to search out those two sacks of adipose tissue beneath your button-downs, dancing inside your dresses, tight against your T-shirts, cloaked under your coats -- all while hiding behind a pair of aviators. I may be on my way to a court hearing where I'm the defendant, but I'll be eyeballing a woman on the A train, unconsciously crumpling up the summons in my hand.
No longer. Sunglasses remove any roaming charges and make it safe to stare. And thus the looking at the boobs only makes me think about boobs more, which then makes me act on their behalf. No more sunglasses, no more unfettered boob access.
Remember the Titans, You Schmuck!
Oh, don't worry, I can feel the hate emails coming, but before you write in that the best part of me ran down Satan's red leg, know that I'm not advocating objectifying women or saying that breasts are the only things about women I like. (If you've read any of these columns you know that's not the case.) What I am saying is, within the realm of physical attributes that get men hot and bothered, breasts give me a fever and infuriate me with lust.
But guess what? Boobs are fairly uneventful! Why can't I ever seem to remember this? I mean, I know when it comes to sex, even an inveterate pothead can suddenly become Ben Franklin and invents all sorts of moves, positions and dildo attachments, but seriously, breasts pretty much just hang there (unless they're fake, in which case they sort of hover there). So my constant quest for breasts will now forever be leavened with the understanding that, as marvelous as they are, they don't actually do anything. Unless you're an infant, in which case they're ... oh, forget it.
All Breasts Are Great, All Breasts Must Leave Me Alone
To women with small breasts who might be reading this and feeling left out, your breasts, too, are magical. Small breasts can be shapely and fun and beautiful. Small breasts contain nipples! The male nipple, by comparison, is a Residence Inn. But a woman's nipple? A cliffside four-star with a private beach and a piano bar! But your small breasts, however wonderful, must now be summarily ignored.
To women with huge breasts who endure back problems and wardrobe issues, thank you for everything, but I'm done. You've been carrying such a burden, and please know that your boobs, however painful they may be to haul or dress, are gifts to everyone around you. If there's anything that can engender more agreement between friends, co-workers and strangers alike than a "that girl has huge boobs" statement, I haven't heard it. You may have trouble finding a shirt you can button without asphyxiating yourself, but you give us all something to marvel over. I will now only go as far south as your chin when it comes to looking at you. Thanks for the memories!
Look, I get that confessing this makes me seem like a little bit of a perv. I'm a boob man, I'm sorry. But I'm an equal cup-size boob man. Still, I simply think about boobs too much, and I approach women whose boobs call to me, whether they're of the melon variety or softball, and it's just not working out.

...from Zester Daily
The electric green and pink box contained a candy bar like nothing I'd ever seen: a green tea and cherry blossom Kit Kat bar from Japan. This exotic gift came courtesy of my friend Susan Heeger, who had recently returned from a trip to the island nation. I marveled at the package and its contents: How could the Kit Kat inside the box, with its cherry blossom wrapper and its playful…

Montgomery Residents Voice Concerns About City
If you could ask the Montgomery Mayor, the Public Safety Director, or the Police Chief one question, what would it be? Alabama News Network took to the streets to find out what some of your biggest concerns are. Montgomery has 21 homicides so far this year and that number has many people alarmed. To help stop some of the violence, Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange has publicly called on churches to get more involved in the community. But not everyone knows what it is the church can do. Liz Boyd of New Life Church says she'd like more details from the Mayor. "What specifically can we do?" she asks. "I mean, we have churches all over the city and we just really feel like if they could, come with us and give us specific details on how we can be more involved." Others want answers from Police Chief Kevin Murphy. Terrell Taylor says he believes Montgomery police don't have their priorities in order. "We've got a lot of unsolved murders and they're focusing they're attention on the wrong thing," says Taylor. "They're focusing on insurance and locking people up for tickets." One Montgomery resident tells us she'd ask what could be done about some of the abandoned buildings around town. "I would ask the Mayor what his plans are for some of the vacant property here on the west side," says resident Sherry Davis. "I'm concerned because people hang out in these abandoned properties and it just makes the neighborhood look bad." Others tell us they're concerned with another part of their neighborhood, the roads. "There's a lot of streets that need to be fixed and that are not fixed," says Bernice Hines. "But when you go out on the interstate and different places, they're fixing it up and doing that. They won't even fix mine in our neighborhood and we pay city tax just like everybody else." |

ListView.SearchForVirtualItem Event
Occurs when the ListView is in virtual mode and a search is taking place.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
This event occurs when a ListView is in virtual mode and the FindNearestItem or FindItemWithText method is called. When handling this event, you should calculate which item from the list of items supplied by the Items property matches the search criteria and set the SearchForVirtualItemEventArgs.Index property to the index of the ListViewItem. If an item is not provided, FindNearestItem and FindItemWithText will return null.
For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.
The following code example demonstrates the use of this member. In the example, a search returns the nearest match to a specified integer in a list of the first ten thousand squares. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the VirtualMode property.
//This event handler enables search functionality, and is called //for every search request when in Virtual mode. void listView1_SearchForVirtualItem(object sender, SearchForVirtualItemEventArgs e) { //We've gotten a search request. //In this example, finding the item is easy since it's //just the square of its index. We'll take the square root //and round. double x = 0; if (Double.TryParse(e.Text, out x)) //check if this is a valid search { x = Math.Sqrt(x); x = Math.Round(x); e.Index = (int)x; } //If e.Index is not set, the search returns null. //Note that this only handles simple searches over the entire //list, ignoring any other settings. Handling Direction, StartIndex, //and the other properties of SearchForVirtualItemEventArgs is up //to this handler. }
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)

That being said, I would be hard-pressed to recommend one vendor over the other simply because I believe their products are comparable in terms of performance and reliability. This leaves support and compatibility as factors left to consider in making the right choice. A review of your existing hardware environment and the backup software you are (or will be) using may impose a natural selection by elimination.

Lately I have been getting really bad soreness in my wrists and feet, I have no clue what this could be but I'm really young so I hope it's not to bad
Do go to a dr. There's no other way to find out more about what it is. No one on the web will be able to tell you. It also could be something that would be able to be helped a lot more, the sooner you go. Good luck! Leah
young, what is young? If I went to a doc's office everytime I got a new pain, I'd be living there... Do a lot of research online...acupuncture could help, it helps a lot of people and if the pains are "new" a better chance..... Do you do sports, on the computer a lot...could be issues from these if you do them...jam My first pains came on at 18 and that was back stuff...I've lived a long life and did a lot of chiro work and massage work and ended up with a messy hip replacement 2+ yrs ago and I'm in worse pain from the trauma of surgery...so, it's a challenge but there are a lot of options out there.. Thinking more on this subject, I can hear the screams and noise from the LA Marathon runners going past my apt as they head for the finish line at the ocean...and thinking how those people are destroying their bodies.... I met a woman a couple weeks ago at my podiatrist office and she had gone thru major foot surgery, she was wearing one of those big boots...she had done a lot of ballet as a young person.... Then all the rough and tough sports people how they are damaging their bodies...it's a vicious cycle... So what I can say is moderate exercise and don't go crazy cause it comes back to haunt us.... [This Message was Edited on 03/17/2013]
And what is young? These days anyone younger that 70 is younger than I !!! I hjave so many different aches and pains lately and I probably need to go and mention to do ( should have done so at my yearly checkup). I probabloy could use an MRI for my probably sciatica, cervical or vertebrae problems. Don't want to have to pay for the test or the surgery or have to undergo it, if I don't have to. Sorry gotta go fix dinner. Hope I didn't help Jam hijack this thread. Forgot the original question or problem. Hugz, Granni
says on his Prolotheraphy program every weekend, elective surgeries are a BIG gamble, I elected hip replacement and boy that has been a shocker with other pains.... Always will wonder where I'd be had I not done it...gotta let that go -- can never go back. I do walk fairly well NOW and no groin pain since replacement but it's been a struggle for the last 2+ yrs... For the poster, I'm taking a new supplement Anatabloc and it's pretty amazing with inflammation....again wonder what your age is....I'm walking better, sit much much longer...feel like a newer person kinda....jam Thinking about this feet and wrists...my feet started to bother me about 4 yrs ago or so, I know I posted about it when we had the Arthritis board and my hands/wrists not much at all...some issues but hardly any..and better since on Abloc.[This Message was Edited on 03/17/2013]
Wondering if your problems have anything to do with Fibromyalgia. I have FM but every now and then I get like a burning in my hands and it really hurts a lot. However, then after awhile it goes away. Your problems might also be arthritis too that comes and goes. I know I have osteo arthritis in my neck and probably some in my hands and fingers every now and then too. I think the burning might be something else, either FM or something going on with the nerves I am guessing. Hope you can find out the problem or at least find what helps you. When my hands do that I stick them in very hot water which seems to help too. That may indicate arthrits but who knows. Ti many aches and pains to figure out what they all are. I ahve also been bothered lately by what I think is sciatica. Pain in my lower back and butt area and keeps moving around. It keeps making getting dressed in the morning a challenge for me, let me tell you. Bye for now. Hope your problems clear up some from you. I know none of it is fun believe me. Hugz, Granni

A local group is planning to rework the neighboring land with landscaping, benches and fruit trees. Critics say it could draw in homeless people.

After more than a decade of work on a new I-5 bridge connecting Portland and Vancouver, the project is dead.

In a few years, we may see bluetooth enabled pills.
Giant Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis AG, based in Basel, is developing a pill containing an embedded microchip, which it hopes to submit for regulatory approval in Europe within 18 months. The chip is activated by the stomach acid, and transmits information to a patch attached to the patient's skin, which then sends it on to a doctor via the Internet or a smartphone.
In my opinion, something like this should be easier to get approval than some of the awful drugs that have a LONG list of side effects that are pushed down peoples throats by doctors every day.
Regardless, this could have a HUGE impact on medicine. GO TECHNOLOGY!

This top is made from chiffon and I can tell you, I will never ever be working, with this kind of fabric, again! It is like alive… but.. you know.. :D And that's why I'm marking this as advanced sewing, because it was really hard.
Lining is basic acetate lining.
I thought it could be a nice A – line dress, but when I was walking my dogs I just realize, it could be a nice top! :) And voila! I love it already. So it is important to have breaks during sewing, it works for me :)
Pattern is basic blouse pattern. I got this pattern still from my sewing course.

Local school boards play a crucial role in preserving our democracy, preparing our children to be productive citizens, and enriching the lives of our communities. School boards also strive to mirror the diverse democracies they serve as representatives of their communities. All school boards derive their power and authority from the state and at the same time, all school boards generate "law" of their own by establishing the policies by which local schools are governed.
By overseeing public education and representing lay involvement, local school boards provide a structure for public accountability and a means for parents and the community to influence vital policy issues affecting schools. The school board remains the tried and true governance mechanism for delivering excellence and equity in public education for all our children.

We receive lots of letters and comments from patients thanking us for the treatment and care they received at the Christie.
Here are just a few of those comments, including a short video of Russell Watson telling his story of his time here at the Christie:
Because of Christie's being a specialist hospital it feels like going into a family unit where everyone is the same. You can talk freely to anyone. The staff deserve to be praised for the work they do.
The next time I can't get a five star hotel room in Manchester I will give the Christie a call. It was really that good. The staff are the best, food was excellent, communication was easy - everything was great.
It is a pleasure to attend a hospital where staff have not been trained to avoid eye contact. The food was very good and a stay in the Christie (apart from the obvious problems) is like having a holiday.
Everyone was more than nice. I was called by my name wherever I went so it made me feel like I was the only person there. Very friendly staff, always with a smile because they knew what you were going through.
I found all the staff friendly and informative. This made my stay as relaxed as possible as I was concerned about my condition. This also helped my family to cope.
Everything you need to know before your treatment begins.

Hi all,
I would like to find the best way to split a publication, doc set up with facing pages and auto numbering masters.
I want to reformat for from 8.5x11 facing pages to ipad tall format single pages
My best result so far has been to apply liquid layout to scale for all pages and masters. Then Change doc setup to Ipad (1024x768 tall). It reflows and scales like a dream (for the most part). Then I go to doc Setup again and unclick Facing pages. and all is still fairly ok. The issue is that the master page folios particularly the right hand folios do not move properly. and when I reapply a right hand master to a sigle page the it apply's the left folio instead???
Any Ideas?
Much Thanks.
Steve S.
Hello All,
I have been working this further and think I've come up with a process to take traditional design files set to print ...in spread format...use liquid layout to reformat but keep facing pages ON when reproportioning for 1024x768_Tall. Then once the layout has been reproportioned allow Document pages to shuffle, separate as seen in attached...and upload to folio builder.
I find following these steps in progression allow master page setup in spreads to not mess the page layout up.
Seems to work! Anyone know if this practice is not suggested for some reason?
On funny thing that happens while testing is that Object States sometimes jump to wrong page when testing in the Content viewer. Don't know if this is due to the page spread shuffle or if its just a buggy content viewer?
Well for stage one I was going to offer to the client there Pub as is. Just so its available on the pads.....With few overlays.
Pinch and Zoom Pdf will be enabled so if they want they can read the smaller text.
Future option would be to yes restyle.
Any input on the Overlay popping up on wrong page occasionally? Its fine then Ill go back to the Content viewer a bit later and an Overlay such as MSO would be on on wrong page in the article....???
Think this has anything to do with the Shuffled facing pages???
You are running the risk of the app being rejected by Apple.
Overlays moving to the first page of an article is fairly common complaint and it's bug in the ACV that seems to happen mostly with horizontal swipe only set for the article.
I find archiving and redownloading the folio to fix it.

Ok, I'm willing to pay full price for the 920 but like everyone I'd like to get it as cheap as possible. I've had the 900 since it came out in April and that is when my contract started. What are your thoughts?
Buy no contract(estimate)
Get a new line and break it:
$99(phone)+$36(activation fee)+$325(ETF)+$40(second line one month fee maybe?)
Not sure this is feasible but what do you think?
Pay the ETF on my phone, would that make me eligible for a new discounted phone?
$99(phone)+$36(activation fee)+($325-$70ish)(ETF)
Am I missing something? Is the last option even possible? Anyone work for AT&T that knows?
Thanks! - 11-06-2012, 09:20 AM #3
Breaking the ETF on your line would cancel your line. AT&T has no method of breaking your contract but keeping your line active.
Otherwise the first two options are do-able... you also have...
Get a new line, but don't break it (only if not on a DataShare plan):
$99(phone)+($36 activation fee)
Once you do that, buy or find a cheap basic phone, take your shiny new Lumia and put it on your current line, and take the basic phone and put it on the new line. You pay $10 a month for the remainder of the new line's contract, so add $240.
You can also call AT&T and complain about the activation fee. -$36
Nokia Lumia 1020, Nokia Lumia 928, Droid DNA
Surface Pro 128GB - 11-06-2012, 09:32 AM #5
And if this is true It makes my second option useless since Option 1 and 2 would be the same price and option 3 is definitely out. I still like the add a line for $10 but unfortunately I am on a family share plan so that doesn't work for me but it could work well for others.
You can also wait for the AT&T 920s (locked) to start showing on ebay in a month or two .. they will be way under the unlocked price. If the 900 is anything to go by, they should be selling for about $250-300
What I want to know is if you buy unlocked, can you use it on AT&T's $15 unlimited media net plan, or are they going to block those. They don't block Symbian devices, I've been using it for a while and it works fine.. - 11-06-2012, 12:31 PM #7
I also picked up the 900 right when it came out this April. I called this morning and while they didn't have specific too-early upgrade pricing for the 920 in their computers yet the rep guessed that the too-early upgrade price would be similar to that of other phones at $250 plus the phone's two-year contract cost, so a total of $350.
Of course this could change once they receive official pricing. I'm holding out hope that Nokia/M$ worked some sort of deal similar to Apple for better early upgrading for the 920. The AT&T rep noted that I could early upgrade now to an iPhone 5 at a reduced too-early upgrade fee, although technically I'm not eligible to upgrade to another phone right now without that $250. I plan to call tomorrow for official word. - 11-06-2012, 12:37 PM #8
you break contract, you lose number? perhaps thats why you dont want to do that, im sure somebodyc an confirm this if this is the case.
what's really great about this is that our starting price point is really low.. $100, so from that point on there will be all sorts of good deals around the web. We should be able to get the att locked 920 for anywhere between $250 and $400, which is still a great price for that kind of tech.
I web chatted with AT&T and they did confirm that the only way to get out of the contract is to leave them. You cannot pay the etf just to end the contract and stay with them.

I know from my own experience leading a school district that this time of year is especially exciting—and challenging.
Lunch is in the classroom instead of a cafeteria, and students rely on public transportation rather than school buses to get to Longleaf School of the Arts in downtown Raleigh. But you won't hear students complain.
When offered a choice, Palm Beach County parents are increasingly opting to place their children in charter schools to obtain a public education.
A complete failure. That's how the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty rates the City of Milwaukee's policy of giving Milwaukee Public Schools the authority to sell or lease the district's unused school buildings.

The Ford Five Hundred sedan packs nearly 30 percent more power and boasts a new look inside and out for the 2008 model year.
On sale by summer 2007, the Five Hundred features a new front end resembling the popular Ford Fusion, more horsepower and torque thanks to a new 3.5-liter V-6 engine, a new six-speed transmission and all-wheel-drive system and safety upgrades that include Ford's available AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system. Structural upgrades to further improve crash protection include reinforcements in the footwell area and new interior door panels.
"Customers love the Five Hundred's ride and package, and its safety reputation is excellent," says Cisco Codina, Ford's group vice president of North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "For this year, we've dialed up the appeal with a new, more expressive look, a more powerful engine and more than 500 changes to make this great car even better."
The Five Hundred's 3.5-liter Duratec V-6 now delivers an estimated 260 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. It also benefits from the same smooth shifting, six-speed automatic transmission and the same available all-wheel-drive system as the new Ford Edge . Importantly, even with the upgraded powertrain, real-world fuel economy for the front-wheel-drive model is expected to be similar to the current model – thanks to advancements in powertrain technology.
New look inside and out
The Five Hundred's new look aligns it with the Ford Fusion. New from the A-pillars forward, the Five Hundred now features Ford's signature three-bar chrome grille. A sculpted hood adds a touch of crisp detail, and a new front fascia is chamfered at the outer edges, adding structure to the design. All-new side mirrors are smaller yet provide better visibility and reduce wind noise. Chrome side vents, door handles and mirror caps give the Five Hundred Limited models a more expensive appearance. New taillamps carry the horizontal theme to the rear, while a new rear fascia houses chrome-tipped dual exhausts.
Ultra-quiet interior and plush ride
For 2008, the Five Hundred's sound package has been completely revised, helping make it as quiet as many luxury cars. The new sound package includes such technologies as expandable foam pellets in the A-pillars to reduce wind noise and the use of an advanced sound-deadening material called Sonosorb in the doors, headliner and pillars. Sonosorb increases sound-deadening efficiency by 20 percent while retaining the same thickness as the material it replaces.
Engineers also reduced road noise by stiffening the area where the rear package shelf meets the floor pan. Even the climate control system was improved by making the system 50 percent quieter than before.
The Five Hundred's quiet, confident ride starts with an already solid foundation. Upgrades include revised shock towers that help increase front suspension travel by 10 percent, new dampers and springs in both front and rear, and a revised, retuned rear suspension.
One of the most significant changes is how the engine is mounted in the vehicle. Previously, the engine was mounted to the front subframe. On the new model, the engine and transmission are bolted to the body with hydraulic mounts to reduce vibration. By moving the roughly 600-pound powerpack off the subframe, engineers were able to better tune the suspension and, ultimately, create an even better ride.
Maximum convenience and space
The Five Hundred features the most spacious interior of any large sedan, with best-in-class legroom front and rear and 60/40-split fold-flat second-row seats. With the fold-flat front-passenger seat, items up to nine-feet long can fit inside.
Five Hundred also offers a number of must-have technologies. In addition to a standard auxiliary audio input jack, available convenience features include a voice-activated navigation system, a DVD entertainment system and factory-installed SIRIUS® satellite radio. Ford Sync™ is also available on the new Five Hundred. Sync is a voice-activated hands-free in-car communications and entertainment system which fully-integrates mobile phones and digital media players. The Sync in-car communications system was developed in collaboration with Microsoft and will be offered exclusively on 12 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury products in North America beginning this year.
Building on safety leadership
The 2007 Five Hundred is already the segment leader in safety, earning five stars in all four categories for the U.S. government's crash tests. Five Hundred was also the first Gold Award winner from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and is the class leader in rear crash performance.
For 2008, Five Hundred offers the added safety and control of Ford's AdvanceTrac® electronic stability control system. AdvanceTrac can predict the vehicle's intentions using a sensor to detect and measure oversteer and yaw by monitoring the vehicle's speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle. When the system senses wheel slip, engine torque is reduced and braking is applied where needed to help keep the car tracking safely on its intended path.
Five Hundred comes standard with dual-stage driver and passenger front air bags, seat-deployed side air bags for driver and front passenger and Safety Canopy side curtain rollover air bags for both rows.

Started out like one of those \"message\" movies indicting Big Pharma but ended an entertaining movie.
I ************ this movie at Dollar Cinema. It was awesome that changed many ways and the ending totally unexpected.
Mixed review - very slow to start and I felt the details got a bit \"muddled\" as the plot unfolded. Has a bit of a Hitchcock feel to the movie without Hitchcock's sharp focus. Enjoyed Jude Law. Okay matinee movie.
Unexpected ending!
Somewhat satisfying. Took too long to get to the thrills and the ending was unbelievably mundane.

RobberyPros: 2gb, Might be good for photoshop??? Cons: Worst heatsink i have seen on any gtx 460, and to top it off there is no ram heatsinks. =( I really wish I could get my money back but it has been way too long. when I got this card i paid 260 and for that price i could have gotten a much better radeon. Other Thoughts: It took a while for me to figure it out how horrible this card way this is what happens when u dont do enough research. they prey upon the idea that 2gb of memory is worth an extra 50 bucks when infact i does not help hardly at all with video games. With the low grade componets and lack of ram heatsinks this has felt like complete robbery. Palit wants to cheap out and save money then charge u more. I would hate to see what would happen if i had a problem with it dont think they would honor thier warranty after seeing the way they make thier cards. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Don't BuyPros: OverClocks well. Cons: Runs Hot. Cheap heatsink shroud. Fan broke into peices randomly. Tried to rma it but palit refused. Just get a car from evga with lifetime warranty. I've rmaed several cards through them without a hitch. ( Has a computer fan hooked zip tied onto the h/s now and it actually works better) 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Don't buyPros: Very fast! Cons: Cooler sucks! It cooled when it did work. Fan started making noise. temps jumped from high 50c to high 80c on load. No heat tubes. No heat sink on ram chips. It felt really cheap. And was a pain to find a after market cooler. Never going to buy palit editions again. Comparing to the other brands this cooler looks like a joke to them. Oh thats all at stock clock. Other Thoughts: antec 300 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
bad sli scalingPros: very good single card,easy overclocking,very good price for the spec. Cons: I buy 2 of these cards as being entousiaste and in proper travelled any possible benchmark on the gtx sli 460 1 go ,unfortunately the placing a scale of sli in games is not good as in the bench. nothing do with the test perform proper setting same. less fps in just cause 2 in sli, any gain fps in kane and lych 2 and several other games. I have try uninstall nvidia driver and re install it more times without success. I have even reformat without success where it would have a possible conflis. I change the sli bridge without succes also. I do try a card with a the benchmark for both card separer and it been normal. I am disappoints to sli performance :( Other Thoughts: I am not satisfied with my purchase and I change to gtx 570 sli 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
BANG FOR THE BUCK!Pros: Can handle any game without hiccups and RUNS VERY COOL. Idles at 43c with everything stock. I don't know why everyone else runs hot, I was thinking when you buy them now they include a better heat-sink. Plus the card is smaller than the avg GFX card, will fit in more cases. Cons: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Other Thoughts: About an inch or 2 smaller Did you find this review helpful? |
Great cardPros: I have this card oc'd at 875 core clock, 1750 shader clock, 2102 memory clock @1037mv using msi afterburner. All games are running fine at max settings. The only game that I have not ran yet theat may give it some trouble would be metro2033, I'm just to lazy to reinstall it and find out. Cons: I have read the 1gb sonic platinum edition has a much better heatsink that also covers the ram and has heatpipes. If I would have known that before purchase I would have bought that. Overall I am happy, I can always change the cooler. Other Thoughts: I probably did not need the 2gb version but too much is always better than to little. While gaming it never has used more than 900mb. I do not really do any photoshop or cad so I can't speak for that. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Warranty ?Pros: Every thing I said in first post Cons: everything I said in first post ,however nno one fre palit responded sooo I will ask again.were is warranty info if your card breaksdown due to problems?The box and add says there is one ,if it is there isnt info posted on your home page. Other Thoughts: I would have thought a rep would have responded a long time ago Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Cheap hardware for CUDAPros: Bought this for one reason. Adobe Premiere and Mercury Engine. Works great. Went from ATI 3870 software rendering to hardware rendering in Video. Cons: ALot of heat and noise on games. I expected that. If you buy Nvidia cards then expect some heat. Other Thoughts: Still waiting for my rebate. Did you find this review helpful? |
JustIcePros: Great rendering. handles all current games well. Cons: Price is high even for two gigs of ram. Stock fan and shroud blow hot air out all over the place since the shroud has gaps at the top and bottom of the board. This increases the overall temp of the case. Other Thoughts: With all that being said this is still a good card and would have got 5 eggs had there not been gaps on the shroud, I did however come up with a custom solution for this that allowed me to keep the stock fan in place since it cools the card well enough. I made a new shroud that funnels the air to the back. I used thermal plastic to create a new shroud and after doing so watched the temps drop off by 10%. I do not recommend you try this unless you know how to bend thermal plastic as it will void your warranty. I build cases from scratch which is why i have the ability to make one from scratch. Did you find this review helpful? |
great if you know how to make your own heatsinksPros: awesome 2gb of memory. needed for cuda and such. gaming is amazing for a 'lower' end card. Cons: heatsink and fan in the middle of the cad blowing air no nowhere. I used a dremel to cut apart an old heatsink and some berquist heat foam to attach it to the memory areas on the back. Other Thoughts: I am now using the cad with a fan hitting it, overclocking software just for the fan to go upto 80% during dx11 stuff, and added my own heatsinks to the ram modules. I have a lot of mod abilities under my belt, and if you do as well, get it and mod it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

No urgency to create cap space, but still might happen if they sign a couple of players early in free agency and want to add more.

Intel's Larrabee--more and less than meets the eye
Intel announced on Monday that it will be presenting a paper at Siggraph 2008 about its "many-core" Larrabee architecture, which will be the basis of future Intel graphics processors.
The paper itself, however, has already been published, and I was able to get a copy of it. (Unfortunately, as you'll see at that link, the paper is normally available only to members of the Association for Computing Machinery.)
The paper is a pretty thorough summary of Intel's motives for developing Larrabee and the major features of the new architecture. Basically, Larrabee is about using many simple x86 cores--more than you'd see in the central processor (CPU) of the system--to implement a graphics processor (GPU). This concept has received a lot of attention since Intel first started talking about it last year.

Great boot

Comments about Scarpa Charmoz GTX Mountaineering Boots - Women's:
I bought these boots right before a spring time trip to the Northern Sierras, with a climb to summit Matterhorn Peak. The whole trip was about 10 miles total with 10,000 feet of elevation change, through mixed terrain. I was nervous about having to break them in, but they were comfortable and didn't give me any trouble at all. As a matter of fact, they performed great- my feet didn't overheat in warm socks while we were on the trail, even though it was 70+ degrees. Once we got into snow, my feet stayed toasty and completely dry. Above the timberline, they were great through multiple types of snow- from powder to grainy to sloshy they stayed dry. There were only a few instances where my toes were cold, and it was really only when I was sitting around at night or very early in the morning (which is to be expected). Contrary to the other reviewer's gripe about the stiffness of the sole, stiff is what I want in a mountaineering boot. The stiffness was good for using crampons, edging, kick stepping on the way up, and good for plunge stepping on the way down. I wouldn't choose this boot for a hike, even through some snow, but for higher altitude mountaineering and climbing, they were awesome. My only gripe is that they're pretty ugly, I don't know who thinks lime green and silver is a good color combo. Definitely didn't care about that above 10,000 feet when my feet were warm and blister free though!

First Outing
By Adventure Runs
from Portland, OR
Just tried these out for my first time today - was a great fit, and had great stability. I have small ankles and the boots fit like a glove, and didn't shift on all types of terrain. We traveled over jagged rocks, snow, and wet ground, and I had great balance. My only con is that because they are so stiff you don't have any flex in the shoe, so although they were so amazing and comfortable on the way up, the trek down was steep and the lack of flex started to make the boot feel less comfortable since it was hard to catch myself while walking down. Overall though, loved the boot, and it was my first hike with them, so I'm certain they probably have a certain amount of break in time. But very satisfied thus far!

A nice cup of warm tea is so lovely on these cold, dark, early winter evenings. I appreciate the messages written on Yogi tea bag strings, especially this one. Here's to knowing it is true!
My favorite lesson to teach in both of my marketing classes is on storytelling. I am drawn to marketing is because, when done right, it is simply the telling of a story about how lives can be improved, problems solved, or days made a bit more joyful. The class is always really fun because the students must tap into their creative brains and come up with a story from a visual prompt that I give them. The days before and after the lesson I am hunting for images that are rich with a story.
This semester, the day after class, I was waiting for the bus and saw this. Such a great story to be written, no? What do you think is the story behind the lost key?
Here's some evidence behind what experience has taught me to be true: gratitude can make you happier. From the Harvard Business Review blog.
It's wonderful how someone's unexpected kindness can turn around a bad day. Just as wonderful is understanding that we each have the power to turn around someone's day by extending kindness. Doing someone a favor without them asking you for it is all it takes. What a powerful realization.

Chapter 6: Supervision
6.3 Function of a Masters Candidate Supervisor
Research candidates for the Masters degree pursue research under the direction of a main supervisor and an associate supervisor, who report on the candidate's research and progress to the Graduate Coordinator of the relevant School. Supervisors also report whenever research candidates fail to make satisfactory progress in their research or fail to fulfil the conditions of their candidature, or appear unlikely to reach the standard of the degree for which they are enrolled.
The supervisory relationship can be idiosyncratic. The working relationship that the supervisor and research candidate negotiate will determine the degree to which a supervisor guides the research candidate and the degree to which the research candidate is autonomous. The Faculty recommends that early in the relationship the supervisor and the research candidate discuss their respective expectations and assumptions. The Faculty recommends research candidates and supervisors discuss:
the meeting schedule;
a research timeline;
responsibility for the selection of topic;
of supervisor direction in research and thesis writing;
for the standard of the thesis, and
responsibility for
finishing within the minimum time period.
These issues need clarification and negotiation on an individual basis. The Faculty of Arts has guidelines and responsibilities for supervisors and research candidates. Candidates need to read the 'Code of Practice for Supervision of Masters Candidates' (See below).
If more than one supervisor is appointed candidates consult all such supervisors on all matters of general concern to their research and thesis.
If candidates believe the appointment of a particular supervisor is inappropriate, the candidate has the right and duty to consult the School Graduate Co-ordinator or the Head of section or School, or, if necessary, Associate Dean (Graduate Research).
When the thesis is complete the Faculty's Masters Regulations require that the supervisor submit a statement certifying:
The extent to which the work was carried
out by the candidate;
Whether the thesis is properly presented
and prima facie worthy of examination;
Whether the length of the thesis is appropriate to
the topic and to the prescribed weighting of the thesis.
In certifying that the thesis is properly presented and prima facie worthy of examination, supervisors are not forecasting the result of the examination. They are stating that, in their opinion, an examiner who recommends the award of the degree would not necessarily be acting unreasonably. A certified thesis is expected to have minimal typographical and grammatical errors and to contain a properly presented bibliography. Supervisors need to emphasise to candidates the necessity of proof reading very carefully the typescript of the thesis before it is presented for examination. This practice reduces the need for amendments after examination.
If a supervisor does not certify that the thesis is properly presented and prima facie worthy of examination, the Faculty can still determine that the thesis can be examined. When a supervisor certifies that the thesis is not properly presented the options open to the candidate are to:
Request the Faculty to accept the thesis
for examination forthwith;
Seek the Faculty's permission
to revise the thesis before submission; or
Withdraw from
candidature for the Masters degree.

Tigers, Gators with Something to Prove |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
That's a constant question in American rugby, where many leagues and teams play in isolation. This weekend, we perhaps get something of an answer, as the Southeastern Collegiate Conference Western #1, 4-0 LSU, plays the SEC Eastern #2, 3-1 Florida. The game is in Gainesville and gives the Gators a chance to show they've got the tougher conference, and are just as good as the other guys. "We're pretty confident that we're going to give a good performance," said Florida flyhalf Luca Baistrocchi. "We played them in the fall, but neither side had their best side out there. But we're confident we can beat LSU. We cannot expect it to be the same game. We know they're doing really good this season, but so are we." Baistrocchi said the team has been working hard on their line speed, and also their running lines, assessing space, and support. They expect, it seems, LSU to kick, and they are working to be prepared. Defensively Florida has been supremely tough on defense, having scored 162 and given up only 30 in league play. Twenty of those points came in a 20-12 loss to Tennessee February 11; a game Baistrocchi said the players would like to have back. Defense is solid also with LSU, as the Tigers have won all four of their league games, scoring 194 and giving up a paltry 17. Their last effort was an 85-0 drubbing of Mississippi State, with Daniel Dowd, Will Middleton, Morgan Mills and Jason Pickup all scoring three tries. Dowd came on as a sub at fullback for Pickup, meaning their fullback position claimed six tries. Obviously using their #15 in the line is working for the Tigers, and they will want to punish the Gators the same way. It wasn't all offense for LSU, as they held off Mississippi State on several possessions. It's a classic clash between two teams on a roll. Despite being the traveling team, LSU should be favored, but they will also be looking forward to perhaps their sternest test of the season so far. |
