Intel Core i7-3720QM
The Intel Core i7-3720QM is a fast high-end quad-core processor for laptops based on the Ivy Bridge architecture. Due to Hyperthreading, the four cores can handle up to eight threads in parallel leading to better utilization of the CPU. Each core offers a base speed of 2.6 GHz but can dynamically increase clock rates with Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz (for 4 active cores), 3.5 GHz (for 2 active cores) and 3.6 GHz (for 1 active core).
Ivy Bridge is an enhanced die shrink of the Sandy Bridge architecture with improvements on both GPU and CPU performance. The CPUs are produced in 22nm (versus 32nm Sandy Bridge CPUs) and are the first to introduce 3D transistors for increased energy efficiency when compared to similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processors. Other new features are integrated PCI Express 3.0 and DDR3(L)-1600 support.
The performance of the Core i7-3720QM is slightly above a similarly clocked Sandy Bridge processor due to slight architectural improvements. As a result, overall performance is higher than the former fastest model, the Core i7-2920XM.
The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 offers 16 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at 650 MHz up to 1250 MHz with Turbo Boost, making it one of the faster variants.
As with most quad-core Ivy Bridge models, the Core i7-3720QM is specified at a TDP of 45 Watts including graphics card and memory controller. Therefore, the CPU is well-suited for laptops 15-inches or greater.

text: I attended a large political event today in my snoburban county. Every major and minor local politico was there. There were speeches, of course. There was praise of firefighters and police officers and union employees, of course. There was an honor guard, a bagpipe group playing patriotic songs, an orchestra of local high school kids (mostly Asian), and a Jewish a cappella group. Saying prayers were a Rabbi, a Muslim imam, and a Baptist minister. An African American soloist sang "God Bless America" (beautifully) from her wheelchair. There were no unitarians or atheists, though.

Here's a quick quiz for you: What does Jack Frost look like? Young or old? I confess I've never had a mental image of Jack. In fact, until seeing "Rise of the Guardians," I never gave him any thought at all. The kids around me at a preview screening seemed more expert, perhaps because they know the inspiration for the film, William Joyce's book series, "Guardians of Childhood."
In those books, unread by me, Joyce imagines a loosely knit Avengers-style federation of the guardians of childhood. Most of them are famous: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and so on. Jack Frost's reputation suffers sadly in comparison. Voiced in the film by Chris Pine, he finds himself literally invisible. When he visits Earth, people are able to walk right through him. Since he is a spritely boy, he finds this depressing, although many kids have probably felt the same way.
Why is this so? The Man in the Moon never explained it to him. The Man in the Moon functions in the story as sort of a symbolic nature god, who never does anything but shine enigmatically in the sky.
This is a hyperkinetic 3-D action comedy, with the characters forever racing on Santa's sleigh, hurtling down chutes and zooming through tunnels that rework the same 3-D illusions over and over again. The characters aren't all referred to by what we might call their Earth names, and we get such as North, a broad-shouldered Santa (voice of Alec Baldwin); Tooth, the fairy (Isla Fisher), and Bunny (Hugh Jackman).
There's also a villain, called Pitch by others and sometimes resentfully the Boogie Man by himself. This dastardly fiend (voice of Jude Law) is envisioned as all darkness, teeth and claws, determined to put the Guardians out of business. In this moment of crisis, the team calls on Jack Frost to lead their resistance, and in the process, he inevitably redeems himself, becomes visible and achieves a personal victory. Now we know what he looks like. I was reminded of Peter Pan, although he isn't green.
There's an audience for this film. It's not me. I gather younger children will like the breakneck action, the magical ability to fly and the young hero who has tired of only being a name. Their parents and older siblings may find the 89-minute running time quite long enough.
Still, let it be said that director Peter Ramsey and his art team have created a crisp, colorful fantasy world, sharper-edged than many feature-length children's cartoons. Especially fetching: The Tooth's countless followers, called "Baby Teeth"; Bunny's ranks upon ranks of Easter eggs and Pitch's scary manifestations. I thought by the end of the picture, Pitch had earned some sort of redemption, but I guess he goes back to wherever Pitches come from.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Roster Countdown: 5. Brandon Bass
With the most exciting moments of the offseason behind us, Celtics Town is counting down the Celtics' roster from 16 to one. We'll offer speculation on the role each player has to play, and where they'll be in the rotation as we look towards the upcoming season. If you missed the last column in this series you can check it out here.
You can make a pretty compelling argument that Brandon Bass is underrated. Acquired from the Orlando Magic for Big Baby Davis (and Von Wafer!), Bass was an integral part of the Celtics' success during the past year. After the postseason he immediately started working towards resigning with the Celtics, eventually agreeing to a contract paying him 19 million over three years which many believed to be below market value, so why no love for Brandon Bass?
While we've spent a good deal of time lamenting Brandon Bass's (lack of) post game, Jesse pointed out that Bass made more than 46% of his shots from 16-23 feet, a number that puts him on par with guys like Dirk Nowitzki. Bass might be a one-dimensional offensive player, but he's extremely good at what he does. Despite the criticism he received last year for his uneven performance during the playoffs, Bass had the best Offensive Rating of any Celtic over that period (111, and it wasn't even close). The spacing he can create hanging at the elbow or running the pick and roll was integral to the Celtics success last year (especially Rondo's), and with Bradley returning and Lee a talented slasher in his own right he'll have an even bigger impact going forward. Oh, and he's the third best playoff free throw shooter of all time (not among big-men, third best period), so there's that too, for whatever it's worth.
The biggest problem with Bass is his size. Generously listed at 6'8″ (he's just a shade over 6'6″), Bass isn't what you look for in a prototypical NBA power forward, or at least he wasn't. But with the NBA trending more and more towards smaller lineups, it's much easier to mask Bass' deficiencies; he just makes the starting lineup a "small" one by default. If you look around the Eastern Conference most of the starting power-forwards on playoff contenders are stretch fours (or think they are: Looking at you, Spencer Hawes), and Bass fit's right in. While he's not the greatest rebounder (6.2 RPG last year) his crazy 7'2″ wingspan helps him match up with taller 4′s on the block and also doesn't make him a bad choice when it comes to defending LeBron (see: Eastern Conference Finals Game 7, at least the first half). While Bass doesn't have the speed Jeff Green does to stay with LeBron on the wings (I distinctly remember screaming at my TV telling him to sag off LeBron these past playoffs. He didn't hear me.), he also outweighs Green by a good 15 pounds and has a three inch higher standing reach (8'10″) making him a fine choice to body up bigger players on the block.
Bass is not a superstar, but he's a quality role player. He's loyal and shows his energy and passion for the game every time he steps on the court. With an impeccable midrange game and ever-improving defense, Bass' skill-set compliments the rest of the Celtics quite well. With Rondo throwing him the ball and Garnett screaming in his ear, there's no reason to believe Bass can't continue to improve on both ends of the court. Everything Bass has achieved he's done through hard work and perseverance, and there's no better attitude for a Celtic to bring into the Garden every night.

I don't see anyone down on Bass. All anyone is saying that I've seen is that at this point he is a high quality role player, which is what you seem to be saying. I think it's good that we have Sully to push him. Those two guys may end up making each other better.

Wouldn't it be the other way around? After all, JS is a rookie this year. What I like about BB is his consistency and no dis to Big Baby (ironic they share the same initials) but BB is a lot more level headed. A great piece to the team and happy to have him back this year.

Student Becomes First-Ever Minority, Communication
Major to Receive Piercy Scholarship
MAILED: May 15, 2001
EAU CLAIRE—Maiknue Moua, a UW-Eau Claire junior from
Green Bay
, is the first- minority student, as well the first communication major, to receive the George T. and Clayton T. Piercy Memorial Scholarship.
The $5,500 scholarship is one of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation's largest and is awarded annually to a student who demonstrates excellence in scholastic and co-curricular achievement. Moua was chosen from among 27 applicants nominated by department chairs.
The scholarship was established in 1987 by retired Exxon executive George Piercy, who died in 2000, in memory of his late brother Clayton's involvement with UW-Eau Claire. After he retired from his position as an accountant with General Motors, Clayton Piercy moved to Eau Claire, attended university classes and was active in the UW-Eau Claire Foundation.
Moua found inspiration from her family to apply for the scholarship. Her parents came to the United States in 1979, following three years spent in refugee camps in Thailand after fleeing their home in Laos.
"My most significant reason for applying is my father," Moua wrote in her scholarship application. "The hardships my parents faced when they came to this country gave my father every reason to be a strong believer in education."
"My father has always given me support and motivation, as well as encouraged me to challenge myself," she wrote. "Most importantly, he taught me that nothing is impossible as long as I believe in myself."
Moua, who has a cumulative grade point average of 3.82, is a member of the Golden Key National Honor Society, Phi Kappa Phi, and Mortar Board, a student organization whose membership is based on service, scholarship and leadership. She is also a campus ambassador and a leader in the Eau Claire Hmong Student Association. She has been active as a mentor and resource person to prospective UW-Eau Claire students and their parents, and she was the recipient of the Sally A. Webb Diversity Tuition Scholarship in Organizational Communication. Moua is also a student employee in the UW-Eau Claire chancellor's office.
"On paper, (Moua's) application simply rose to the top of a truly outstanding group of students who had been nominated by department chairs as good candidates for the scholarship," said Robert Shaw, associate dean of students, whose office made the final selection of the scholarship recipient. "Once you meet and get to know Maiknue, you understand how faculty and others really see her as exceptional."
Moua received the award at an honors banquet held April 28 in Davies Center at UW-Eau Claire.

Taka name of the currency of Bangladesh
- Wednesday, 24 August 2011 06:32
- admin
- Hits: 1372
Taka name of the currency of Bangladesh. The word is derived from Sanskrit 'Tanka' which was in ancient, and even in medieval times, a denomination of silver coin of four masha weight. The term Taka was widely used in different parts of India but, of course, with different meaning. In north India, Taka was a copper coin equal to two paisa and in the south, it was an aggregate of four paisa or one anna. It was only in Bengal where Taka was taken as a sliver rupee. However, in all areas of India, Taka of Bangladesh was used largely for money in general. But Bengal was the stronghold of Taka.
Rupee was introduced by the Turko-Afghan rulers and strongly upheld by the Mughals and the British rulers. The Bengal people always called Rupee as Taka, be it of silver or of gold. Ibn Batuta noticed that in Bengal people described gold coin (dinar) as gold tanka and silver coin as silver tanka. In other words, whatever might be the metallic content of the coin, the people called it Taka. It is indeed noteworthy that the Bengali nation has borrowed two crucial things from the very heart of its history and heritage - the name of the state, Bangladesh; and the name of its currency, Taka.
The very word Tankah as the name of the denomination and value has been used for the first time in Bengal on the coins of Nasiruddin Mahmud (Delhi). All the silver coins of Bengal were of full tankah denomination and were of more or less one tola weight standard. The first "rupee" is believed to have been introduced by Sher Shah Suri (1486-1545), based on a ratio of 40 copper pieces (paisa) per rupee.
The three Presidencies established by the British East India Company (Bengal, Bombay and Madras) each issued their own coinages up to 1835. All three issued rupees together with fractions down to 1/16 rupee in silver. Copper denominations were more varied. Bengal issued 1 pie, ½, 1 and 2 paise. Bombay issued 1 pie, ¼, ½, 1, 1½, 2 and 4 paise. In Madras, there were copper coins for 2, 4 pies, 1, 2 and 4 paisa, with the first two denominated as ½ and 1 dub or 1/96 and 1/48 rupee. All three Presidencies issued gold mohurs and fractions of mohurs.
In 1862, coins were introduced which are referred to as Regal issues. They bore the portrait of Queen Victoria and the designation "India". Denominations were 1/12 anna, ½ pice, ¼ and ½ anna (all in copper), 2 annas, ¼, ½ and 1 rupee (silver) and 5 and 10 rupees and 1 mohur (gold). The gold denominations ceased production in 1891 while no ½ anna coins were issued dated later than 1877.
In 1906, bronze replaced copper for the lowest three denominations and in 1907, a cupro-nickel 1 anna was introduced. In 1918 and 1919, cupro-nickel 2, 4 and 8 annas were introduced, although the 4 and 8 annas coins were only issued until 1921 and did not replace their silver equivalents. Also in 1918, the Bombay mint struck gold sovereigns and 15 rupee coins identical in size to the sovereigns as an emergency measure due to the First World War.
In the early 1940s, several changes were implemented. The 1/12 anna and ½ pice ceased production, the ¼ anna was changed to a bronze, holed coin, cupro-nickel and nickel-brass ½ anna coins were introduced, nickel-brass was used to produce some 1 and 2 annas coins, and the composition of the silver coins was reduced from 91.7% to 80%. The last of the regal issues were cupro-nickel ¼, ½ and 1 rupee pieces minted in 1946 and 1947.
The Paper Currency Act of 1861 gave the Government the monopoly of note issue throughout the vast expanse of India, which was a considerable task. Three series of paper currencies were introduced by Bank of Bengal. These are- Victoria portrait series: The first set of British India notes were the 'Victoria Portrait' series issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000. These were unifaced, carried two language panels. The security features incorporated the watermark, the printed signature and the registration of the notes. Second series include the unifaced series was introduced in 1867 as the Victoria Portrait series was withdrawn in the wake of a spate of forgeries. These notes were issued in denominations of Rs 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 10000. The third series is known as the George V series carrying the portrait of George V introduced in 1923, and continued as an integral feature of all paper money issues of British India. These notes were issued in denominations of Rs 1, 2½, 5, 10, 50, 100, 1000, 10,000. Fourth series is known as Reserve Bank issues: The Reserve Bank of India was formally inaugurated on Monday, April 1, 1935 with its Central Office at Calcutta. The bank issued the first five rupee note bearing the portrait of George VI in 1938. This was followed by Rs. 10 in February, Rs 100 in March and Rs 1,000 and Rs 10,000 in June 1938. The first Reserve Bank issues were signed by the second Governor, Sir James Taylor. During the war, the Japanese produced high-quality forgeries of the Indian currency. This necessitated a change in the watermark. The profile portrait of George VI was changed to his full frontal portrait. The security thread was introduced for the first time in India. The George VI series continued till 1947.
After the Partition of India in 1947, following advice from an expert committee, the Governor General of undivided India issued the 'Pakistan (Monetary System and Reserve Bank) Order, 1947' on 14 August 1947, the day before partition. Under this order, the Reserve Bank of India was to be the common currency authority for India and Pakistan until 30 September 1948, with notes issued by the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India remaining legal tender in Pakistan until the same date. The order also allowed for notes issued by the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India to be inscribed with 'Government of Pakistan' in Urdu and English, and placed into circulation from 1 April 1948. Following a seven-month period where notes of the Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India continued to circulate in Pakistan, modified notes of the Reserve Bank of India in the denominations of 2, 5, 10 and 100 rupees were introduced as planned, along with modified 1-rupee notes of the Government of India.
During the 24 years of Pakistan regime, Bangladesh was known at first as 'East Bengal' and then as East Pakistan. Pakistan issued first series of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 100 rupees bank notes in 1948, Second series notes 2, 5, 10 and 100 rupees were issued during the end of 1948. In the third series, there were 2, 5, 10 and 100 rupees notes including three one rupees notes and in fourth series the portrait of Mohammad Ali Jinnah was added and 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 rupees denominations were issued during 1957-1970.
It is also interesting to note that the while the currency of Pakistan is the 'Rupee', this was not the name used by the people of East Pakistan for the currency; they called it 'Taka'. While the Urdu and English text on the bank notes refer to 'Rupees', the Bengali text refers to 'Taka'.
On 16 December 1971, a new state, Bangladesh, is born, when Pakistan Army surrendered after a bloodbath of nine months, starting from the mid night of 25 March to 16 December 1971. It was decided at the first meeting of the Government that the name of the currency will be Taka and name of its fractional unit will be termed as poisha of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of the country, was set up on 16 December 1971 by the Bangladesh Bank Order 1972. The government accepted the assets and liabilities of the Deputy Governor's office of the State Bank of Pakistan in Dhaka and declared the Bangladesh Bank as a fully effective and permanent central bank. A. N. Hamidullah assumed the post of Governor.
As soon as Hamidullah took over the responsibility, he contacted eminent artist Quamrul Hasan to prepare the designs of the notes of the new country. Due to preoccupation Quamrul Hasanintroduced K G Mustafa, his student for this task. K G Mustafa, within very short time designed Two designs of each Taka Five and Ten Taka notes introducing traditional designs of rural and riverside Bangladesh. K G Mustafa also designed five metal coins too. He introduced traditional plough, hilsa fish, pan leave, and pigeon into these coins. By this time to meet the emergency, Hamidullah ordered Indian security press to supply Taka one, five, ten and one hundred notes with geometric designs and portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Due to emergency security thread and watermark could not be included. The first one taka note hads signature of Finance Secretary K A Zaman and bank notes bore signature of A N Hamidullah. Later notes with all security measures included were printed from UK and were introduced during late 1972 and early 1973.
Afterwards, a 500 taka note was introduced in 15 December 1976, 20 taka note was introduced in 20 August 1979, 50 taka note was introduced in 1 March 1976 and 1000 taka note was introduced in 17 July 2009. At present notes of 8 denominations, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 taka notes are in circulation.
Whereas, 5 different coins of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 poisha coins were issued in 15 September 1973. Later, 1 taka coin was introduced in 1975 and 5 taka coin was introduced in 1993. Taka helps to exchange our necessary good and services from one another.
Striking features of Bangladesh coins is that it has national emblem on the reverse side and all the write up were in Bangla. At present coins of seven different denominations are in circulation. Besides, there are some commemorative coins issued on different occasions.

NEW YORK , Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Credit Suisse Private Banking USA convened its annual Wealth Management Conference in New York on October 19, 2012 to discuss finding opportunity amidst uncertainty. Speakers and panelists discussed the challenges facing investors as a result of a convergence of pivotal political and economic events in the United States, Europe and emerging markets. Columnist George Will delivered the keynote address about the upcoming American presidential election and the challenges awaiting the winner.
More than 300 attendees participated in the conference, including 200 private investors. In addition to the keynote speech, attendees heard a presentation about the science of motivation from a bestselling author, and listened to a conversation with David Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group.
Credit Suisse Private Banking Managing Director Matt Gorman, who heads the New York office, delivered opening remarks. "A great deal has happened since we met here a year ago," he said. "Our goal here today is to try to find opportunities amidst all this uncertainty."In the keynote session, George Will explained that the United States has begun an important debate about the role of government. "The American people think, not without reason, that we're approaching a tipping point," Will said. "Temperatures are high because the stakes are high." The conference featured interactive polling with wireless keypads, which allowed participants to respond instantly to questions. According to the results, a plurality said that of all the challenges over the next 12 months, America's fiscal cliff worried them the most. Regarding the upcoming elections in the United States, 51 percent of the audience predicted President Barack Obama would retain the White House while 49 percent predicted former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney would capture the presidency.

UTRECHT, The Netherlands -- Stork Technical Services, a provider of knowledge-based asset integrity management services for the oil and gas, chemical and power sectors, has announced a further $3.2 million (£2 million) investment in its new daughter craft, The Edradour.
The Edradour will be delivered to the Subsea division later this month and will provide additional operational support to meet the expanding needs of Stork' s diving operations as well as complementing its existing fleet; daughter craft, the Aberlour, a mother vessel, the SIEM Stork, and three dive intervention craft.
The Edradour has the same design specification as the Aberlour which will allow both crafts to be interchangeable with the existing twin davit system.
"We are very pleased to welcome The Edradour to our fleet. The shared design specification allows compatibility with our existing launch and recovery system and will bring familiarization to all our crews resulting in a greater safety recovery and efficiency in our diving operations," said Roddy James, senior V.P., Stork Technical Subsea.
In addition, The Edradour has additional lifting capability for four-point lifting, providing vessel crane launch and recovery capabilities and increased generator capacity—resulting in greater ROV and electrical equipment capacity.

Harry Potter Stars Try to Speak With American Accents
MTV's Josh Horowitz recently got to sit down with the stars of the Harry Potter series and got them to say a bunch of quintessential American phrases like, "Hey, buddy, can I get an order of mozzarella sticks please?" and, "BOOYAH!"
Tom Felton pwns pretty much across the board, and Daniel Radcliffe isn't too shabby, but Emma Watson needs to up her game. You go to school in the states now, gurl. You're one of us.

Give me your money or else: debt collectors ratchet up the pressure
Matt Cardy/Getty Images
Debt collectors have turned nasty in their attempts to get money from those who don't have any
As if asking someone to pay you back repeatedly wasn't unpleasant enough, some debt collectors have taken the art to a new level. Harassing phone calls, abusive language and even physical violence have made their way into the world of debt collection as collectors fight (all to literally) to pry money out of the hands of many Americans who simply don't have it anymore. The comforting fact in all of this is that actions such as these are illegal under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act of 1977. But is that only "cold comfort" to Americans unable to pay their bills?

I have to admit this is hard for me, to actually look someone in the face, or tell them directly 'no'.
I've always got to try to find some way around it, I'll think about it, maybe later, ask me closer to that day, whatever. I really need to learn to just say "I'm sorry but no".
Would make things easier when I don't have to use the same tired excuses for things. I tend to think people might be slightly insulted when I do that to them as well. :(

It's a battle of the braggarts! The season begins with shots of the contestants converging on a field insterspliced with footage of the players telling us how awesome they are. Spencer boasts about how genius and diabolical he is, and uses his tying for first place in a big chess tournament as evidence. Kass tells us her track record as an attorney is undefeated. Morgan informs us that "from a guy, I usually get what I want," while Jefra talks about getting second place at the Miss Kentucky pageant three years in a row…which actually sounds more sad than impressive. I mean, three years in a row? It's like, take the hint, woman!
But wait, here are some more people that want to brag! "I'm super smart" says Tasha. "They don't want to look at ugly girls all day," explains Alexis as to why she won't get voted off. "I will go down as one of the best players to play," claims Spencer. Hold on, Spencer again?!? Get out of here, buddy. You already had your turn. Just for once I'd love for the show to can these Big Brother-type pre-game boasts and just have someone come out and be all like, "Yeah, I could do okay. Really depends mostly on luck. We'll see."
While all this is happening, Jeff Probst has somehow managed to get himself stuck up on a treacherous island mountain peak. No idea how he is planning to get down from there. Yet somehow — after delivering his famous "One Survivor!" line — he does and now he is on that field waiting for the contestants to show up. It's the Survivor version of planes, trains, and automobiles as the players arrive by truck (the Brawn tribe), a boat (the Beauty tribe), and by helicopter (the Brains tribe, who win a point for coolest mode of transportation. It is the only point they will win all night.).
Probst lets the players figure out whether they are Beauty, Brawn, or Brains, and that takes all of three seconds. But then: TWIST TIME! The host forces each tribe to pick a leader. Well, that seems a bit random, but okay. Ah-ha, but with great power comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility comes the opportunity to screw yourself over in a big way. That's because the newly appointed tribe leaders now need to pick out the person they deem the least valuable in their group. Beauty leader LJ picks Boobs McGee (a.k.a. Morgan) because he trusts cute more than hot and Boobs McGee is hot. At least that's his logic. Brawn leader Sarah picks Trish, I guess because she's older and skinnier.
Then Brains leader David — who goes to great pains to make sure we all know he is not wearing a suit because the jacket and pants do not match — picks out Garrett with nary a pause nor a trace of emotion, explaining that he is "focusing on the last two-thirds of the game." Dude, at least fake it like you have a heart. People don't want to align with a robot (unless it is a breakdancing robot, because breakdancing robots are awesome). By announcing you are already focusing on the last two-thirds of the game, all you are doing is making people want to get rid of you before then — in the first third of the game. Ugh.
NEXT: Gimme shelter…no seriously, can someone please make us a shelter?

|Hi friends,
I'm new here. My boyfriend and I are closing on our first home on October 20th. We're getting a Fannie Mae Homestyle Rehab Loan. We're wondering how the disbursements will work. We'd like to bargain shop and use Craigslist to buy some materials, like our kitchen cabinets. If we were to find the cabinets we want on Craigslist, do we buy it out of pocket, or is there a way to get that money from the loan, or do I ask the contractor to pay and tack it onto the final bill? Anyone have any experience with this?
I'm sure I'll be around with many more questions in the coming months. :)

|You need to ask your lender for specifics like that. I would 'imagine' you could buy what you want and just pay off the loan instalments, but every one is different so don't take my (or our) word for it!

|Make sure you have the answer to this prior to making up your contract with a contractor. Frankly, as far as I have had experience with construction loans (which this may or may not be) the bank wants to pay the contractor directly, with you as the co-signor. They want that money to be re-invested into the house and they also want to make sure that the contractor gets paid to avoid any possible lien issues down the road. They also want the project managed professionally to ensure proper timeline conformance as well as oversight and proper management of other subs if necessary.
Also, many banks are loathe to allow homeowners to do their own work on a project they've financed; they want the job done correctly as they don't want to foreclose on a house with full of DIY hack work (no offense to you personally).
If you don't get this settled and go into a contract thinking that you can purchase the materials and the contractor will happily install them for you, you may be in for a big surprise.
Many contractors rely on their buyer's discount as part of their margin and if the homeowner attempts to cut that out of their pockets, they may either refuse to continue or may perform poorly in the long run. Worse and I've run into this more than once, is the fact that some products or materials may be better for a project than what the homeowner believes would be. Frankly, as a contractor, when I'm doing the work and am responsible for the final product, I prefer to choose what I'm going to be working with -- I'm the one who will end up working with it anyway. If a product has a bad reputation for quality or workability, or availability, the contractor may not be so thrilled to work with it.
I had a contract with a person who wanted to purchase their own materials. The bank wanted to disburse payments directly to me. I was a nice person and wanted to work with the homeowner, so I agreed to allow her to purchase on her credit card what she wanted to use, with my oversight and then I'd reimburse her after each phase.
To make a long story short, I wasted over 60 hours running from store to store with her looking at product and helping her to make up her mind. Then after the first phase she decided to change her mind and started purchasing materials not included in the budget. I had to back out of the project as she was spending far more than the contract budget allowed and I could see no end to it.
I heard from others that she hired an inferior contractor to finish the work and in fact she tried to come back and sue me for their inferior work, blaming me for leaving the contract early. This was a nightmare that lost me a lot of money, wasted my time and made a very unhappy customer on my past customer list.
I'm sure most people wouldn't have acted like that woman, but as you can see from the example above, this can happen and banks don't like it.
So, if you have to disburse directly to the contractor, make sure at least you have to co-sign and an inspection is conducted after each phase.
Make sure you have some input on product and know what the contractor likes to install and see what they recommend. Find the contractor you feel most comfortable with. Be honest with them and once you've signed the deal, that's it, stick with it and you should be fine.

Hall of Famer Willie McCovey turned 76 on Friday, and to celebrate, let's turn our eyes to one of the coolest landmarks around any ballpark: AT&T Park's McCovey Cove.
The cove is an attraction unto itself, featuring some of the craziest watercraft you've ever seen:
Like a floating DeLorean:
Or a sinking pirate ship:
Or an angel, shark and panda racing on paddle boards:
Or a psychedelic unidentified floating object:
Or a dude delivering hotdogs in a kayak:
Or even an accident-prone mariner:
Of course, the most famous things to visit McCovey Cove are small, round and usually arrive via splashdown --
Sometimes from Pablo Sandoval:
Sometimes from Brandon Belt:
And sometimes, of course, from the maestro:

Happy birthday, Willie. May your name be forever associated with baseball awesomeness:

Recipes that work.
Cook's Illustrated is dedicated to developing foolproof recipes for America's favorite home-cooked meals. And unlike glossy cooking magazines that are staffed by food stylists, Cook's Illustrated employs test cooks, editors, and food writers. Our test kitchen — the same kitchen in which we film our top-rated public television show, America's Test Kitchen — has three dozen full-time test cooks whose 9 to 5 job (well maybe 7 to 6 on baking days) is testing and retesting recipes 20, 30, sometimes 50 times until we can offer our readers a recipe we're confident will work. Every time you make it. They are "Recipes that Work".
We also offer ratings and reviews of cookware and kitchen equipment to inform you how different models compare and compete so that you can shop smart. We taste test supermarket ingredients and kitchen staples you use every day, so you know which brands taste best, and which are best avoided. And because Cook's Illustrated is 100% advertising FREE, you get unbiased, objective information. That's our promise to you.
Getting this humble Mexican breakfast just right is easy when you have homemade tortillas and ripe tomatoes lying around. All we had were mediocre supermarket staples.
The huevos rancheros found on American brunch menus more often resemble heaping plates of nachos than the quick, satisfying, south-of-the-border meal of tortillas, eggs, and salsa.
We wanted to use supermarket staples to produce the most authentic version possible.
We started at the top, analyzing how to improve the salsa. We enhanced the flavor of the base vegetables (tomatoes, chiles, and onions) with a little tomato paste and then roasted them. Adding garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, lime juice, and cilantro gave the salsa a zesty, clean flavor. The next layer, the fried eggs, presented a true challenge: Even if we didn't break the yolks when we placed the egg on top of the tortilla, it ended up looking ragged and irregular. Poaching the eggs in the hot salsa not only left them looking perfect but also gave them a boost of flavor. Finally, we brushed supermarket tortillas with oil, sprinkled a little salt on top, and toasted them so they'd be crisp and dry enough to provide a sturdy and flavorful base for the eggs and salsa.

Osho continues:
"All other beings are already fixed, patterned. They bring a blueprint, and they simply follow the blueprint. The parrot will become a parrot, the dog will become a dog, the lion a lion; there is no question of the lion being somebody else. But with man it is relevant to ask whether he is really a man.
"Each lion is really a lion, and each elephant is an elephant too, but man is a question mark. A man may be a man, may not be. A man can fall below the animals, and a man can rise above the gods. That ultimate state above the gods is buddhahood – the awakening, the ultimate awakening, the realization of your potential in its totality.
"The buddha is above gods. This was one of the reasons Hindus could not forgive Gautama the Buddha, because he said the buddha is above the gods. Gods are also asleep; of course, their dreams are nice, their dreams are not nightmares, they live in heaven. Their lives are only of pleasure. Heaven is nothing but pure hedonism, the very idea is hedonistic. Hell is just the opposite. Hell is pain, heaven is pleasure; hell is a nightmare, heaven a sweet dream. But dreams are dreams; sweet or bitter, it does not matter.
"The gods are also asleep and dreaming beautiful dreams. The buddha is awakened, he is no longer dreaming. The Buddhist scriptures say: The day Siddhartha Gautam became a buddha gods came from the sky to worship him, to wash his feet. Hindus could not forgive this idea, because for them the gods in heaven – Indra and other gods – are the suprememost. And look at the arrogance of the Buddhists who say gods came from heaven to wash the feet of a human being.
"Buddhism raised humanity to its highest pinnacle. No other religion has done that. Man becomes the center of existence. God is not the center of existence, according to Buddha, but the man who has become awakened. The periphery consists of those who are asleep and blind, and the center consists of those who have eyes, who are awakened. Gods are simply dropped; they are no longer relevant."
In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is opening for business in the midst of a partial government shutdown.
The justices take the bench Monday for the start of their new term with important cases about campaign contributions, housing discrimination, government-sanctioned prayer and the president's recess appointments already on tap. Abortion, contraceptive coverage under the new health care law and cellphone privacy also may find their way onto the court's calendar.
The court announced it will operate normally at least through the end of this week. The justices are hearing six arguments, including a challenge to limits on campaign contributions.
The new term may be short on the sort of high-profile battles over health care and gay marriage that marked the past two years. But several cases ask the court to overrule prior decisions — bold action in an institution that relies on the power of precedent.
"There are an unusual number of cases going right to hot-button cultural issues and aggressive briefing on the conservative side asking precedents to be overruled," said Georgetown University law professor Pamela Harris, who served in President Barack Obama's Justice Department.
Paul Clement, a frequent advocate before the court and the top Supreme Court lawyer under President George W. Bush, agreed that the opportunity exists for dramatic precedent-busting decisions. But Clement said each case also offers the court "an off-ramp," a narrower outcome that may be more in keeping with Chief Justice John Roberts' stated desire for incremental decision-making that bridges the court's ideological divide.
The campaign finance argument on Tuesday is the first major case on the calendar. The 5-4 decision in the Citizens United case in 2010 allowed corporations and labor unions to spend unlimited sums in support of or opposition to candidates, as long as the spending is independent of the candidates.
The new case, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, is a challenge to the overall limits on what an individual may give to candidates, political parties and political action committees in a two-year federal election cycle, currently $48,600 to candidates and $123,600 in total. The $2,600 limit on contributions to a candidate is not at issue.
Since the Buckley v. Valeo decision in 1976, the court has looked more favorably on contribution limits than on spending restrictions because of the potential for corruption in large contributions. The big issue in the current case is whether the justices will be just as skeptical of limits on contributing as on spending.
Three justices, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, have signaled their willingness to do so. It remains to be seen whether Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, the other two members of the Citizens United majority, are willing to go along.
Among other top cases already set for review:
While several cases call into question high court precedents, the justices will be writing on a blank slate when they take up the president's recess appointment power under the Constitution.
In that case, the court will confront an appeals court ruling that effectively would end the president's ability to make such appointments, if it is left standing.
Former Justice Department official Peter Keisler said that justices often ask a lawyer for the best case in support of his argument. "No one is going to ask that question because 't'aint none.' No Supreme Court decisions are material here," said Keisler, a partner at the Sidley, Austin law firm in Washington.
The impasse that led Obama to install members of the National Labor Relations Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director Richard Cordray in office without Senate confirmation has been resolved. So what remains of the issue is whether Obama and his successors will be constrained in the future.
The topic splits Democrats and Republicans, but their view of the matter is almost entirely dependent on which party controls the White House.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Looks cool.
Now we know who is responsible for creating the 616 Cybermen -- Tony Stark!
