Michelle Willis is someone who is evolving into a rose in music. Just like the rose, she has opened up her brilliance for all to see in the form of her writing. Once the rose has opened, everyone can see the beauty it held inside. Through Michelle's songwriting, who she is inside is showing through for everyone to see. You can turn a rose in any direction and you may find a little imperfection. But this only adds to the character of the rose, making it ever more appealing. This all holds true for Michelle no matter how you look at her. The things she has experienced in life may have some imperfections in it, but it's these things that has created a new rose in music. And when you look out over a field you may see many colors of roses, and when you listen to Michelle's music, you see the many colors she posses. Michelle is the new rose of music and with each new song she writes, she becomes even more vibrant. Once people began to see the beauty of a rose everyone wanted one, and the same holds true for Michelle. With each new song Michelle releases more and more people are wanting and waiting for more. They have discovered a new rose; Michelle Willis
Michelle has been doing a great deal of writing and recording over the past year letting people know a little more who Michelle is inside. She says all of her music does come from a special place in her heart. "The feelings in my song Dizzy Love, I'm actually going through them right now" Michelle says. There's a guy she has had feelings for, and the intensity of her feelings are so overwhelming that they make her, dizzy. Her song Fallen Angel has to do with the peer pressure that she and other teens go through. She wanted to express her feelings, and she was able to do it in Fallen Angel. Unfortunately Michelle was horribly bullied in elementary school. She says this was a very tough time for her. Can't Rain Forever is a song that came from those memories. "From about third grade to fifth, I was bullied horribly. I was an outcast; alone" said Michelle. She wanted a way to use her stored up anger from bullying to help other people; which happens to be a passion of her's. Out of her experience came an uplifting and reassuring song, Can't Rain Forever.
Other than beauty from a rose, there's the magic it holds to warm a heart or to lift up someone's day. Michelle posses these very same traits. Can't Rain Forever is a powerful song and this song of Michelle's is finding its way into people's hearts. Michelle says she has had several people come up to her after performing that song and express how much it helped them through a hard time. "A little girl came up to me and told me how she was being bullied at school, and how my song gave her hope" Michelle said. Michelle says this has become her favorite reaction from an audience member because it filled her heart with joy to know her song put a smile on that little girl's face and convinced her to push forward.
Songwriting is an ongoing process for Michelle with several songs in the making right now. One of these songs is about her crush who she cannot seem to get off her mind. Another is just a laid back song about having fun and living in the moment. She is also working on a CD, so be on the lookout for that.
Michelle has two music videos to be released in the next few weeks. She also has several new songs that will be released soon as well. Also she has several Christmas performances coming up and fans can keep up with all of that on her website, WWW.MichelleWillisMusic.com.
There will be a new web series starting in the next month or so-called, Lilac. Michelle will be the musical voice for the series. She also wrote a song for Lilac, called Broken Sky. The series is about a ten year old homeless girl. The girl acts like a Robin-hood figure for young children. She saves the children from injustice like bullying, abuse, and neglect. You don't want to miss this when it comes out.
Michelle has been very busy writing and recording, but she also has been busy on stage. She has always loved performing for charities and one that she has grown to like very well is the Tunes For Tots. Michelle says what this organization does for kids is great and would like to see more of this kind of thing. Performing at events like this allows her to see how her music can reel in people to donate, even if it is just a couple of dollars. She gets to see the change her music is making first hand. Michelle looks forward to working with them more in the future.
Other than Tunes For Tots Michelle has performed this past year at: Girls on the Run, Simon Youth Foundation, St. Mary's fundraiser for disabled adult school, and Alexandra Museum of Art. Michelle is always reaching out to help others in some way.
Michelle is someone who is being found more and more in people's music garden. People are seeing how much diversity she has in her music. Just like the many colors of the rose, people always find something they like that brightens their day. When someone like Michelle can share what and who they are inside, the more they connect and make a difference in the lives of others. Michelle is what an artist is all about, being able to touch someone. Just like that little girl, Michelle will put a smile on your face as well. What a beautiful rose Michelle is!

We 3 and She is an amazing group of girls from Michigan. The girls have a great chemistry, everything they do seems to fall together effortlessly, and their harmonies are breathtaking.
These five beautiful girls have come together to create enjoyable music that everyone will love. The girls have only been together as a group for about two and a half years. It all started back in March 2012 with two sets of sisters. These two sets of sisters consist of Cayenne and Ginger Johnson, and Phoebe and Jaclyn Holmes. These four girls were taking guitar lessons from Cayenne and Ginger's dad when Cayenne brought in a flier to class for a Battle of the Bands; she wanted to enter. W hen she was asked who would enter, she said we three, and pointing upstairs, she. So the name of the group was born, We 3 and She.
For the Battle of the Bands it was required that the song be original, and uplifting. Cayenne took the challenge and put together her first ever original song. They performed the song for Battle of the Bands and won second place, plus $500.00. It was this performance that gave them the bug and launched them into their new careers. At the performance their friend Erica came out to see them. They knew Erica could perform, and it was not long before they asked her to join their group. We 3 and She is a blossoming group of young girls, Jaclyn 13, Phoebe 17, Ginger 13, Cayenne 16 and Erica 15 and they are out to make their mark.
One of their favorite performances came when they played the, Concert for Alayna. This was a local concert to raise money for a friend who had cancer. The girls liked this really well, it made them feel their music made a difference. They said, they also loved playing at the Michigan State Fair Superstar Competition. At the competition, We 3 and She placed 4th out of 32.
We 3 and She has done well and have many accomplishments as a group, but they also have excellent achievements separately as well. Erica was a finalist in the 2014 Detroit Sphinx competition, a 2013 Canterbury Idol winner, and won Best Young Artist at the 5th annual Spirits Awards. Jaclyn and Phoebe were the 2014 Canterbury Idol winners as a duo and finalists in the recent, National Singing Star Detroit Competition. Phoebe was the only Lake Orion high school student named to the exclusive 2015 US Army All-American Marching Band. Jaclyn, Cayenne and Ginger have competed and won various awards in national vocal competitions, such as OnStage NY, and Access Broadway.
One of the best things about being a group is they have each other to count on, both musically and vocally. They say each of them play an integral part in each song with their instruments, as well as their harmonies. The girls work so well as a team, if one is not there it is tough to make it work. WE 3 and She love their fans, and when people get up and dance with their music, that really makes them happy. When they are out performing they like to cover Fleetwood Mac. They say, they have well written songs with plenty of opportunities for harmonies. They are currently covering, Landslide and Dreams by them.
Their goal is to release an album or EP in the spring, and maybe actually make some money at what they love. They would also like to sing the National Anthem for a major sporting event. From here they would like to play bigger and bigger gigs, hopefully getting into some real funding.
We 3 and She does a wonderful job covering songs, but they also have their own songs to share with their fans. Right now they have ten songs written, and plenty more growing. Each one has written or co-wrote an original song, but it is Cayenne who has written or co-wrote most of the songs. One of the songs they wrote is called, "Broken Dove". This song is special to them and has morphed into something cool. The song has grown from a simple song that Cayenne wrote, to a band collaboration that became an almost living thing. Cayenne said her ideas often come while in the shower or sometimes when she is playing on her guitar she will come up with a riff and put words to it, and it blows up into a song. Sometimes when she writes with Phoebe and Erica they come up with some pretty cool stuff. No matter who writes a song, when they take it to the band it always becomes something different, but in a good way.
We 3 and She specialize in 5 part harmony, and have come a long way in a short time. They love their fans and have worked very hard to become what they are today. This group has become an awesome power and they are growing everyday. These five girls have a bond and sound that will make them standout from the rest, and they do. We 3 and She have the talent to one day, could be an icon just like Fleetwood Mac.
Keep your eye out for another video, this one will be on their original song, Broken Dove. They will be filming over Thanksgiving break.

There has been a lot of great things that have come about to change lives and bring about discovery, and one of those things is the internet. Without the internet such amazing people like Jamie Lou may have gone unseen and unheard. It would be a true travesty for an artist of such talent to have been missed. Fortunately Jamie was born into an era to where the world can enjoy all the wonders great and small, and Jamie is truly great!
Jamie Lou lives in the Caribbean and she is going to do what Jimmy Buffett did for Key West. You can not think of the Keys without thinking of Jimmy, or think of Jimmy and not the Keys. Now that the internet is allowing the people to get to know and hear Jamie, it will not be far off to where you cannot think of the Caribbean without thinking of, Jamie Lou. While the internet is her launching pad, she will rise far beyond and be the talk of everyone much like Beyonce and Taylor Swift.
Jamie is unique as an ocean wave and her voice as pristine as the waters surrounding the island. All of the songs she covers, she adds her own spin to them so when you listen, you know it is Jamie. This is what will take her, like many others before her, to stardom. She has a brilliant delivery and her cover of , Royals shows just how much. Her spin with this song was combined with Reggae giving it a fresh new vibe that made it better than original. This is what a true artist can do, take a song that already exists and put their own twist to it, making it more spectacular that it originally was.
Off the coast of Spain on an island called, Ibiza is where Jamie was born and raised until she was five years old. At the age of five her parents picked her up and moved to the Caribbean where she resides today at the age of twelve. Her mom says she has been singing since before she could talk, and it certainly sounds like.
Jamie does a lot of recording in the studio, but she has not made very many public performances lately. Her last performance was at Shirley Heights which is also one of her first public performances. She said she loved singing there, it was really fun. There was a talent show in kindergarten that is a lovely memory for her, because her and her friends sung together. They won third place.
There are many great artists that Jamie likes to cover, but she really loves covering Rihanna, Birdy and Lorde songs. Jamie says she loves covering them because it's the kind of style that fits her voice. It all comes down to Jamie loves the thrill of performing and hearing the people cheering. "I can get really nervous at first, but when the first words of the song comes out of my mouth it calms me down and I just enjoy the show" says Jamie.
A couple of months ago Jamie began writing her own songs. She says it is exciting and cannot wait to share them with everyone. Jamie and her crew have written seven so far. All of the songs are special to her and they all express how she feels or felt in the past.
Jamie is an amazing girl who loves singing, but also likes acting and writing. Her focus is to show the world what she can do. Jamie does hope to share her music so people can enjoy it. She would also like to act a bit and possibly write a book.
The sky is the limit for Jamie. The quality of talent she has far exceeds many. With the creativity she posses along with the dynamics in her voice will carry her to the top. Jamie has a keen sense when it comes to music on how to deliver it so that it continuously draws you father in as you listen. It will be a true treat for people once she begins to release her original songs. Jamie has a lot of passion and love for music which makes the covers she sings brilliant. So what will this do for the originals? Add the creativity, the passion and the dynamics, she will produce music that no one will want to ever turn off. Instead of people at the dinner table talking about Rihanna, they will be talking about Jamie. With a little time Birdy and Lorde just might be covering Jamie.
Jamie is one of a kind, and it is artists like her, that people want and cling to. There are not many who have the heart the same as Jamie, you can hear it in every song. Jamie, just like the internet is great, and because of it, the people near and far get to watch and listen to her rise to be the star that she so deserves to be.

Bailey is from Alabama, and she has added even more beauty to the state. She is a very beautiful young lady, and she carries one of the most beautiful voices anywhere. Her voice is soft and tender, and at times elegant, but don't let that fool you, when a song needs attitude she can and will bring it. Bailey Coats, what a great addition to music she is.
The people of Alabama began getting a taste of what was to come from Bailey back in first grade. At her elementary school she performed in plays and musicals. This all kicked off what was to become an amazing artist.
Bailey has gone from performing at her elementary school, to an artist performing coast to coast. She has been from LA to Plant City Florida. These two cities have become two of her favorite places she has performed. She said these places gave her an adrenaline rush from the music. This is something she will not soon forget. Bailey remembers there was so much great energy.
In music, artists write and sing songs that show who they are, and Bailey has done just that. One of the songs she wrote is called, American Girl. This is a song that defines who Bailey is. This song is all about embracing diversity, and being yourself. For Bailey finding out who she was, was a struggle for her. She wants to let all people know it is okay to be different, and to be your own person. American Girl was co-written by Scott Fairclough out of Nashville. Bailey has written many songs and they all have a special meaning, but in different ways. Her songs represent every emotion that she has felt and every internal struggle she has gone through. All of her ideas come from real life experiences and personal emotions. In every song she writes, Bailey wants to make sure they each have a quality that everyone can relate to. A great example would be her song, Don't Forget. This is a song that was written to commemorate the lives lost at Sandy Hook. Her goal was to honor the precious lives that were lost and to encourage others not to forget.
It does not matter the reason, Bailey loves getting on stage; this is home for her. Being on stage gives her a rush that is unforgettable. It makes her feel alive, and she is truly herself. When Bailey is performing it gives her a sense of comfort and she knows, she is doing the right thing. Bailey's goal is to know that she has impacted someone's life through her music.
Even though Bailey is a great songwriter she does do many cover songs and one of the artists she loves covering is Adele. Bailey feels Adele's songs allows for an artist to interpret her songs in their own way.
Bailey has many shows coming up for anyone who would like to stop by and listen to some great music. She will be playing all around Alabama and Florida so keep an eye out for dates and times. She has also started putting together her own band, this should be exciting. Bailey has more music videos coming soon as well. With so much in the works, Bailey will have a busy schedule for a good while.
One of Bailey's biggest messages is to let people know it is okay to be different. She has struggled with this so much about going against the status quo. She has realized she is different from the social norm, and Bailey wants others to find comfort in accepting it themselves. Bailey says she is just who she is and wants to be a positive influence on young and old alike.
There is no doubt who Bailey is, she is one amazing artist that will be turning heads throughout the music world. The music she produces should be on every radio in every car and home across the country. There comes a time in an artist's life that they shine, and Bailey is shinning bright!

Eddie Jones: Undercooked Springboks are there for taking
Calling the shots
Saturday 20 June 2009
The Lions have made their decisions in selection and there's no changing them.
I'm not convinced of the wisdom of leaving Andrew Sheridan, the strongest loose-head scrummager in the party, out of the Test squad – at the very least, I thought he might have been on the bench, primed to have a real go at the Springbok captain John Smit on the basis that it's always good to give the opposition captain all the personal trouble he can handle. But Ian McGeechan has opted for mobility and work-rate, and there's a logic to his thinking.
Now is the time for the head coach and his staff to back off. In fact, they should have started their retreat pretty soon after the team announcement and the subsequent training session. I know there's a lot of ceremonial stuff attached to the Lions, with former players handing out shirts and making grand addresses, but the nearer it gets to kick-off, the more the onus is on the captain and his senior colleagues to set the tone. It's a difficult thing to get right, but it has to come from within the squad. If the players leave it to the coaches to create the right mood, they're not in the right mental place to win a big game of rugby.
This will be a big test of Paul O'Connell's qualities as a leader. He has done his fair share of captaincy with Munster, but his experience at international level is limited. Is he up to the task? The Lions' mindset in the opening exchanges will tell us a good deal. With the all the hype flying around, it is easy for a team to become over-emotional in the dressing room and then fall flat when the contest begins. There has to be a mix of fire and water: some rousing words at the right time to get the juices flowing, then a period of calm reflection, then perhaps a little more heat if the temperature isn't quite right. Some players will need encouragement, some will need to be left well alone. At moments like this, there is a hell of a lot for a captain to think about.
O'Connell must ensure that his players don't start the game in too tense a frame of mind. To absorb the kind of pressure a pumped-up Springbok side will attempt to inflict on them, they'll have to be cool, calm and collected. The last thing the Lions need is to be caught up in the chaos and mayhem of it all. Clarity is everything. If the Lions can keep their wits about them and stay in command of time and space amid the fury and physicality, they will go some way towards winning the game.
And I can just about see them winning it, although the contest will be extremely tight. In my view, the South Africans are the stronger side on paper. The core of the World Cup-winning side of 2007 is still there – seven of today's team started the final, although Smit, a very fine hooker, is now playing out of position at prop – and having worked with them during that tournament, I know how strong their focus can be when the big prizes are available. They really are a very single-minded bunch, and in the likes of Fourie du Preez, and Victor Matfield they have individuals of the highest calibre.
But there is a feeling outside the Springbok camp – and, I would venture to suggest, inside it – that a six-month break from international competition has left them underdone, especially as they have played only a single, low-level, barely relevant warm-up game in Namibia. They could be vulnerable in the first 20 minutes. A Test match cannot be won in the opening quarter, but it can be lost there.
It seems that the Lions have worked out how they intend to play, which is not always the case with touring teams. I think they'll move the ball early from outside-half through Stephen Jones, who is tough enough physically to take it to the line and ask questions of the Springbok defence, and I expect the wings, Tommy Bowe and Ugo Monye, to get through a lot of work.
If there is one thing that concerns me, it is the absence of Martyn Williams from the back row. If the Lions are looking to move the Boks around at speed, they would surely benefit from Williams's skill as a link player. But as I said, the time for selection is over. The Lions have made their choices. Now is the time to justify them, because this is their best chance of victory.

One of my favorite things to do is theme parties. I love planning events for any occasion. I just love getting ideas and bringing them together!
I received a few emails to blog about my princess 1st birthday party and I know it was about 3 months ago but the reason it took me a while to finally decide to blog about it was because I wasn't so sure I wanted to include my private life on here but after a lot of thinking I decided this might help a lot of my readers when it comes to event planing.
Event planning can take a lot of your time and can get some what stressful so be prepare to feel overwhelming at times but overall it's so much fun.
We decided to go with The Little Mermaid theme. As a lot of you know my princess name is Ariel so what better theme for her 1st birthday party! I didn't want the traditional Little Mermaid birthday party so I decided to go with a baby version Ariel and for the main colors to be purple and mint green with a little bit of gold.
I ended up celebrating her birthday twice but only because dad was on deployment when she turned 1 so we had to push her birthday party a couple of weeks back. The first celebration was just princess, brother and I. I wanted to do something special for her on that day and capture some amazing pictures which I decided to do a diy place for her to have her smash cake.
I love how everything turned out and how little money I spend on it. One of the first stores I shop at for parties is Dollar Tree. You can find so many amazing things for just $1. I love to save as much as I can just incase there is something I want to splurge on for the party. For the backdrop I used a purple table cover from Dollar Tree. All I did was tape it to an empty wall. Table covers are amazing for a great backdrop or if you're trying to cover up an ugly wall so it won't look bad at the party. I also went to Party City and picked up some very inexpensive balloons that went with the color scheme. Some other favorite stores I like to go to is Joann Fabric and Craft Store and Michael's, especially because I can use their coupons. Most of the time they have a 40% off on an item, they even sometimes have a 50% off. I love that each store has an app for its coupons because I'm that person that always forgets her coupons at home. I hate when that happens. The great thing about these stores is that you can also use each others coupons at both stores. We all know that throwing a party can get very expensive so I try to save on everything that I can.
The materials for the fabric/ribbon garland I got at Joann's and the rope is from Michael's. For the Happy Birthday banner I got the materials at Michael's and cut out two different size of shells, the lettering and put it together. Because I didn't want the traditional Little Mermaid I decided to google a baby Ariel to my liking and I was so lucky to find one that I loved!
For her outfit I used a Little Mermaid shirt that she already had. Her tutu was a gift from a friend when Ariel was born so it all went together and I didn't need to spend a dime on it.
When it came to her headband I really wanted something different but very cute so I went with a starfish. I got some glitter elastic in the $1 section of Joann and found the starfish at Michael's. I thought it looked super cute but I decided to make it a little bit more girly so I added a pearl.
I really love to bake so it only made sense to make her a smash cake too. I went for a really girly rose cake. This was her first time having cake and let me just say she didn't enjoy it. She didn't like getting dirty or the texture of the frosting on her little fingers.
To make her special day even more especial I went and got some Little Mermaid wrapping paper to give it more of a theme set up. You can definitely skip the character wrapping paper because it does tend to be a little more expensive. I found mine at Party City.
I love how everything turned out and my little princess loved it. I definitely got some amazing pictures for her album and it was very inexpensive but very time consuming, I definitely enjoyed it!
When planning her birthday party I knew I would use some of the things I used for her smash cake set up so I had some things already made. I really wanted her birthday party to be amazing and colorful. I know she's little and won't remember anything but birthday's are very special to me and I think it should always be a really special day and if you can make it amazing then why not.
For her invitations I knew I wanted something that went with her happy birthday banner so I decided to make a shell that opened. I really wanted to give the outside of the shell that real shell look so I added some cutouts to give it that feel. I picked out purple and mint green for the shells to stay with the party theme. I used the same baby Ariel I used for the banner and also added a flounder to it. I couldn't believe how cute they turned out. I was very happy with the finish product and couldn't wait to send them off to our family and friends!
For the party backdrop I used 2 mint green table covers to cover up the front of the garage door and to make it look like the sea. I also twisted some purple, white, and mint green steamers to give it that life of the sea look. I found the mint green table covers and mint green streamer at Target and the white and purple streamers at Party City. The table covers were $3.50 and the mint green streamer was $2.00. At Party City I got the streamers for under a $1 but they didn't have the mint green I wanted. The lanterns I found at Target and Michael's. The hardest part was finding the perfect mint green that all went together.
The party wouldn't be complete with some real effect under the sea!!! Bubbles!!! I had a bubble machine running and my princess loved it!
I also decided to reuse the fabric garland at her table. I added some candy and shells to her table for the kids. I made two different goodie bags for the kids.
I went with a Flounder goodie box for the boys. I cut out the box and printed Flounder's fins to glue onto the box making it look like Flounder. Inside I also included bouncing balls, a pirate patch, pirate tattoos, skull rings, party blowers, candy and other little toys for the boys.
For the girls I made an inspired Ariel goodie bag. I bought the bags on Amazon and bought the material at Joann's. I love that they were so girly and cute. Inside I included bracelets, necklaces, rings, candies, Little Mermaid tattoos, stickers and party blowers. I definitely included nothing but girly things inside!
The goodies boxes and goodie bags took so much of my time. They required a lot of detail just like the invitations which were the items that I spent most of my time making. After a while I was like "what am I getting myself into!" but in the end I'm so glad I did it!!
For the cake I decided to make a two tier white cake. I didn't want the cake to scream Little Mermaid so I went with something more settle but still went with the theme. The cake almost gave me a hard attack because I didn't make it in the comfort of my own home but I made it happened and it came out amazing!
Having the perfect outfit for your birthday is a must, even when the birthday girl can care less. I knew right away that I wanted her to wear a tutu but the hardest part was figuring out what colors, and what pattern to go with. There was just so many choices to choose from at Joann's.
After looking and looking for the perfect tulle... I finally found it! I went with purple, green mint, and the same fabric I used for the Ariel inspired goodie bags! I literally made her whole birthday outfit a day before the party. Tip to myself: don't ever do that to yourself again!! but knowing me I'll probably will!
When it can to her shell top I didn't think daddy would be on board with it but to my surprise he was!! I was so excited! For her shell top I used felt, glitter pen, and tights.
She looked super cute!
Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of our centerpieces but they looked something like this. I got the idea from A Pumpkin and A Princess. I got the little jars from Dollar Tree for just $1. I bought the aqua rocks from Michael's and used my 50% off coupon. The Little Mermaid figures I got on Amazon.
A party wouldn't be a party without a piñata! She really enjoyed hitting it.
I was so happy how everything turned out! Thanks to my husband for helping me so much! I couldn't of done it without him! Everyone enjoyed themselves and unfortunately I couldn't get pictures of everything because I was so busy but the pictures I did captured are priceless!
I really hope this helps some of you to when it comes to planning your birthday/event parties. I love being creative and doing it yourself looks a lot better!
Next, I'm planning my son's 7th birthday party, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!! So stay tune!!

Report Roundup
Charter Schools
"Charter School Demand and Effectiveness: A Boston Update"
Those who are most likely to benefit from charter schools are the least likely to be enrolled in them, says a new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School Effectiveness and Inequality Initiative.
The study is the third in a series of reports that have examined the impact of charter schools on student performance in Boston. The second study in the series, which was released in May 2013, found that students who attend charter schools in Boston were more likely to have higher proficiency rates on state tests than students in the Boston school district, especially students of color and English-language learners.
However, the new study's analysis found that charter schools in Boston served a smaller percentage of students with disabilities than did the regular public schools, although that gap is shrinking. Charters also serve a smaller percentage of English-language learners than other city schools do, and that gap continues to persist. The study found that both types of schools served similar percentages of students of color through the study period, which ran from 2002 to 2012.

Yes, it's annoying. This is the only forum it seems to be a problem on. Links are always an issue.
If you click on my Chillblast link, that should take you to the "Ivy". Then if you go through "customise", and just make the 4 changes I listed above, that should come to £606 total. It would be better to have 8GB RAM, but 4 is OK, unless you can up budget a bit.
All you need to do is add graphics card ASAP.

If you have no particular preference between nVidia and AMD, it rather depends what games you like. In the sub £200 bracket, probably the best value card is the MSI TwinFrozr HD7870 @ £181. That has consistantly good performance across a wide range of games. It beats the slightly cheaper MSI TwinFrozr GTX660 @ £166, in most games, by a reasonable margin. However, some popular games favour nVidia, including BF3, Borderlands 2, Starcraft, and Portal 2. In those particular games, the cheaper GTX660 actually slightly beats the dearer HD7870.
The same sort of thing applies to the next cards, up the line, the HD7950 @ £250, and the GTX660Ti @ £227.
Hope that makes sense.

City seeks RFPs for property near Peace Bridge
Send this to a friend
- James Fink
A vacant parcel in the shadow of the Peace Bridge has caught the eye of several developers and because of the interest, the City of Buffalo has decided to see just who really wants the property.
The Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning has issued requests for proposals for the 2.6-acre parcel along Fourth and Jersey streets and near Porter Avenue. The property was once home to the Peace Bridge Exhibition Center and a Ted's Hot Dogs restaurant but has been vacant for more than a decade.
"We had some people talk to us about it," said Brendan Mehaffy, director of the Buffalo Office of Strategic Planning. "Just given the interest, we thought we should issue and RFP and see who really wants the land."
The land is currently owned by the Buffalo Economic Renaissance Corp. BERC is in the process of being absorbed into other Buffalo economic development entities.
"Ideally, especially given its location just opposite the Peace Bridge, we'd love to see something happen there," Mehaffy said.

thinking about this exact same problem, specifically with reference to her and her boyfriend's shared save file on Super Mario Galaxy.
Although things start well with sharing the game -- switching off every other planet, and dividing play-time equally -- the plan goes a bit haywire when she visits home for Thanksgiving, and her beau just keeps on playing... and beats the game without her.
Of course, we think the answer is obvious: separate save files for separate people. Single-player games are hard to turn into shared experiences, especially when both parties desire equal play-time.

A buzzing back massager that looks like a hand! Make this project with your littleBits Starter Kit.
Bits used: bargraph , power , pressure sensor, vibration motor, wire
Let's begin by creating the circuit! Connect the following bits in this orders: power + pressure sensor + bargraph + wire + vibration motor
Next, draw a shape for your back massager handle on cardboard and cut it out. Our back massager is shaped like an arm, what will yours be shaped like?
When you are designing your back massager handle, make sure you include some holes for your Bits. You will need 1 hole large enough for a ping pong ball to fit through. You should also design a hole large enough for the pressure sensor to be accessible. Last, but not least, you will need a hole that is large enough for lights from the bargraph.
Then, use an x-acto knife to cut a hole in the ping pong ball. Use a glue dot to secure the metal vibration motor inside of the ping pong ball. Squeeze the pressure sensor to feel it the ping pong ball buzz!
You are almost done! Now you just have to add your Bits to the back massager handle that you designed.
Press the pressure sensor and let the relaxation begin!

Michael Schumacher: Lukas Podolski dedicates Germany victory to F1 legend
The Germany forward, who is at the World Cup in Brazil, paid tribute to Schumacher after coming out of a coma following his skiing accident in Grenoble six months ago
Joe Krishnan
Joe is a journalist for The Independent & Evening Standard
Tuesday 17 June 2014
Lukas Podolski has dedicated Germany's 4-0 win over Portugal to compatriot Michael Schumacher after revealing news of his recovery inspired them to victory.
Schumacher, 45, suffered a serious head injury after a skiing accident in the French Alps just before the New Year. But six months after the incident, his spokesperson Sabine Kehm confirmed the former Ferrari, Bennetton and Mercedes driver has been transferred to Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland after coming out of a coma.
And Podolski, who came on as a second-half substitute in Germany's comfortable win over 10-man Portugal on Monday, said that news of Schumacher's first steps to recovery inspired the team to triumph in Salvador.
"Of course it helped us," Podolski said, after the win put Germany top of Group G. "When you hear the news about a good friend it always helps and you get a little bit of a boost and I was very happy when I heard about the news.
Lukas Podolski and Michael Schumacher, who are close friends, at Germany's Euro 2012 training camp
"In the end [the victory] was for him. He's a good friend, a good guy and he's also crazy about football. Maybe he watched the game or he knew about the result."
The Arsenal striker is a personal friend of Schumacher and has previously shown support for the seven-time World Champion by wearing a special pair of boots with the message 'Keep Fighting, Michael' in the FA Cup Final against Hull City.
Podolski also pledged to dedicate the World Cup title to Schumacher should Jochaim Low's team reach the final at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro on July 13.
He added: "Yeah, if we win the title of course it would also be for a good friend."

Kimi: Lack of running pretty normal
Kimi Raikkonen has downplayed the lack of running at Jerez on Tuesday, saying it will take time for the teams to get up to speed. Raikkonen's first day back on track with Ferrari was not without problems as he brought out the first red flag of the day. The Finn broke down on his opening lap with Ferrari billing it as a "precautionary stop by engineers." He went onto cover 31 laps while the second most productive driver was Lewis Hamilton with just 18 laps. "For sure everybody wants to see more laps and we want to do more laps, but it is pretty normal with such a big change," Raikkonen told Autosport. "It will take a little bit of time before we can run 100 per cent...

Q. BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT: I have a disruptive student in my class who has a history of mental health problems. How do I handle it?
A. Students with disabilities are expected to meet the same standards as students without disabilities. It may be helpful to outline behavioral expectations during a private meeting with the student. Consider contacting the student Disability Services office, or contacting the dean of students for guidance.
Q. ANXIETY: I don't know if one of my students has an emotional or mental illness, but he exhibits extreme anxiety and may "freeze up" during tests, cry or faint while giving presentations, and occasionally react to a situation with an angry outburst. How can I be most supportive without lowering academic expectations?
A. It is best to set up a private meeting with the student and state that you have noticed he becomes very anxious in response to stressful academic situations. Ask the student what support measures he would find helpful in reaching his optimal performance. Do not ask him if (or suggest that) he has a disability, but encourage him to make use of a list of campus resources (that may include the Disability Services office) that he might find appropriate.

6-year-old takes mother's car for ride
Updated On: Feb 04 2013 09:01:19 AM EST
A 6-year-old Lawrenceville girl took her sleeping mother's BMW for a drive Sunday morning, but the ride only lasted about a half-mile before she crashed.
"The girl decided she wanted to visit her father, who lived in a different location. She picked up the car keys and got in the car and drove away," Pittsburgh Police Sgt. Jerry Parker said.
Police said the child's mother called then after waking up and noticing her daughter and the car missing.
Rommie Hawkins said he was shoveling snow when he saw the car coming at him: "It kept going. I thought she was going to hit me, but then she stopped just in time not to hit me, and as I observed, she was this little kid. She couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 years old."
Police said the girl drove her mother's car for about half a mile to Stanton Avenue at Woodbine Street before she lost control of the car.
"I was like, 'Stop, stop, stop.' She looked at me, and she took back off and she stopped again, so I started running up the hill, telling her to stop, and she was going and stopping, going and stopping," said Hawkins.
Officers said the drive ended when the car hit three parked vehicles and a utility pole. Officers said the girl stepped out of the car uninjured, but she was upset and asking for her father.
Police brought the girl's father to the scene and talked to him inside a patrol car. Investigators said they're not sure how the girl knew how to start the car and drive.
"That's amazing, but she was pretty tall for a 6-year-old," said Parker.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.

Comments Thread For: WBO Rejects Cleverly's Fight, Demands Sukhotsky Bout
WBO President Francisco Paco Valcarcel has rejected Nathan Cleverly's announced fight against Robin Krasniqi, which promoter Frank Warren announced earlier today for April 28th. Cleverly (24-0, 11KOs) was given permission to face Tommy Karpency in February with the understanding that a mandatory defense against Dmitry Sukhotsky (18-1, 13KOs) would take place in 120 days. Sukhotsky and his management have long complained about being unable to secure their mandatory shot at the title.

Funny realy when you click on the WBO LH TITLE on Boxrec. Before Clev had the belt ,There was a Lot of fighters challenging for the title who had similar, if not worse records than Robin Krasniqi. (Dmitry Sukhotsky stands flat footed looking for bombs, Clev beats him all day btw)
Lets all be honest WBO are in bed with whoever got the more money. (Although I did think Frank Warren was on 'good' terms with the WBO)
It looks like German Promoters are getting more and more powerfull.
Having said all that I would like Clev to fight the best, and not be controled like a cash cow by Warren.
All time great

The WBO should never have approved karpency for a title fight. Cleverly continues to make Erdei's reign look solid

A little about me...
Originally from Cleveland, I've been in Arizona since 1997. Currently "retired". I have 4 grown kids. The reason I stopped at 4 is because I heard that every 5th baby born in the world is Chinese. I enjoy music, and play the guitar. I also enoy taking my pet bird for walks through the neighborhood.
About the one I'm looking for...
I'm looking for someone to be a "couple" with. At our age, we know that if the chemistry is there, it should be obvious almost immediately. A brain in your head is also important.
I'd just like to add...
I suppose I should list my Deal-Breakers. If you are politically correct, a born-again Christian, high maintenance, have large dogs, or hair that is shorter than mine, please look elsewhere. Otherwise, I would love to hear from you.

The Chattanooga Roller Girls (CRG) will host a much-anticipated rematch when they meet the Vette City Roller Derby girls in their season opener Saturday, March 29 at the Chattanooga Trade and Convention Center at 7 p.m.
CRG met the Vette City Roller Derby team on their home court in Bowling Green, Ky, in January at the Vette's season opener, losing a close bout 190-212.
"We have a lot of respect for the Vette City team," said Shawn "The mBOMBinator" Williamson, member of the CRG team. "They are a great team, but we can beat them. We've all been looking forward to playing them again – especially in front of our fans at home."
Ms. Williamson said CRG has one of the strongest fan bases in the roller derby community, which has steadily grown since the Chattanooga Roller Girls skated into town in 2008. Each year, the excitement has grown along with the fans. "The family-friendly, fast-paced bouts are a great, inexpensive way to spend a Saturday night," said Ms. Williamson.
Not only are the Chattanooga Roller Girls tough and fierce competitors on the derby track, they are also conscientious and passionate contributors within the Chattanooga community. The team supports local organizations by participating in local events and donating a portion of the proceeds from home bouts to the Humane Educational Society, and other local charities.

Bahrain Parliament wants tougher sentences to curb assaults on servicemen
Manama: A court in Bahrain on Thursday sentenced 16 people to 15 years in prison for their attempt to kill policemen and to torch their vehicle patrolling near a village to the west of the capital Manama.
The criminal court also ruled that the defendants collectively pay 10,508 Bahraini dinars.
On Tuesday, the lower chamber of the bicameral parliament endorsed a recommendation by the foreign affairs, defence and national security committee to toughen punitive actions against people inciting attacks on security servicemen.
The committee said that the new legal measures would help curb the increasing number of assaults on the police.
Interior ministry officers have said that hundreds of policemen have been targeted in sometimes lethal attacks by demonstrators.
