Service Requests
Service Requests
When a help desk call is received, a Help Desk Team member will initially try to resolve the issue over the phone. In the event that the problem cannot be resolved immediately, a help desk ticket will be created and assigned to a technician. Help desk tickets will be assigned to technicians based on locations and expertise around the campus.
Setting Priorities
For each priority level, the Help Desk Team will contact the user in a time interval appropriate to the priority and will respond with action to resolve the problem in a time frame consistent with our support capacity. Within a given priority level, calls are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure that lower-priority calls are not continually crowded out by high-priority calls, lower-priority calls that age past the response time will be escalated to the next priority.
The Help Desk Team uses the following table to determine how to prioritize calls. Calls are placed into three priority queues: P1, P2, and P3, with P1 being the highest priority.
Down (machine dead, departmental network printer or critical feature down)
- All Campus: Immediate Response
- Lab, Department, or Electronic Presentation: Immediate Response
- Individual Customer: P1
Limping Along (can get some work done)
- All Campus: P1
- Lab, Department, or Electronic Presentation: P2
- Individual Customer: P2
Ok, but need upgrade, improvement
- All Campus: N/A
- Lab, Department, or Electronic Presentation: P3
- Individual Customer: P3
P1 (Priority 1)
Contact Time: a.s.a.p. and within 30 minutes
Resolution Time: 2 business days
Escalation if Response Time Exceeded: Escalate to Help Desk Department Manager>
Resolution Time: 2 business days
Escalation if Response Time Exceeded: Escalate to Help Desk Department Manager>
P2 (Priority 2)
Contact Time: 2 business days
Resolution Time: 5 business days
Escalation if Response Time Exceeded: Escalate to P1 and email the Help Desk staff person assigned the service request and his/her manager
Resolution Time: 5 business days
Escalation if Response Time Exceeded: Escalate to P1 and email the Help Desk staff person assigned the service request and his/her manager
P3 (Priority 3)
Contact Time: 5 business days

Guh, KISS will probably be a bunk album. They're promoting it as CRJ's debut, which it's not. I want her to prove me wrong, but I doubt it will come close to Tug of War in terms of quality.

This was my first attempt at trying something savory with mango and it worked beautifully! I still have some leftover mango sauce that I can't wait to use with prawns or scallops, do give it a go! :)
- Show all comments
SeanWow! This is so creative - how does the mango sauce affect the flavor of the fish?
SunandaIt is very subtle but it has a slightly tangy, slight sweet taste which pairs really well with the fish :)
JithinWhere do you get Salmon in Bangalore?

amarittabeaneand the way...
is to write a little every day. 3 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
How I did it: I got a publisher... and I published my book. Google Eccentric Beauty by: Jessica Layne Bird
That's mine.
I have a second book, and then a novel coming out.
You have to first have a product, the you find a publisher, and then you have to be accepted. Or you can self publish. Then you have to market.
It's easy to get published... but it's hard to do well. How well you do at it. Is a) How talented you are. and b) How much work you are going to put into it.

|View Poll Results: do we need a windows 7 64-bit only forum section?
|Yes we need a 64-bit only forum section
|No, its fun to confuse the two.
|There is just no need.
|Voters: 63. You may not vote on this poll

Following the logics of OP: I'm running Ultimate and Enterprise editions because of Bitlocker and language packs. Should we get Win7 x86 Ultimate & Enterprise forums, and Win7 x64 Ultimate & Enterprise Forums, because issues with these two editions are so different?
Starter and Home Basic are so reduced, and different than other editions, so do we need Win7 x86 Starter and Home Basic forums and Win7 x64 Starter and Home Basic forums?
You see where I'm going?
|My System Specs
|06 Apr 2010
is there any software that Ultimate & Enterprise will run that starter and home will not?
are there different drivers?
are the updates the same? or do special ones come out for Ultimate & Enterprise?
any other basic limitations?
seems to me if issues like that affected Ultimate & Enterprise and not starter and home basic
they should have a section on the forum also.
should some 32 bit user have to wade pages of issues of getting a nice 64-bit browser to work with flash, issues that dont matter to him at all?
how about the newest video driver for his card? wait once again not his problem and not info he can use
and about 5000 more issues like this will crop up
leaving the post to remember to post his version of windows and the version of the software he wants to use.
just take a look at the post of some guy looking for a 64-bit image browser
about 20 idiots chimed in about the cool 32bit viewer they were using telling him it worked fine in 64-bit. i bet he enjoyed filtering all that out. just look at the guy telling my with out flash player my life will not exist
fact is there are major operating differences between 32bit and 64 bit.
today the issues are small as it will take time for pure 64bit software and hardware to come out.
and when they do, there will be TONS of newbies who cant tell the difference. if half the conversation is what bit is the software and what bit is the os it will be a night mare.

i give up... i think this pic pretty much sums up the thread
|My System Specs
|06 Apr 2010
Yet again it all boils down to general 'everyone no matter what version of Windows 7 they are running could expierience this problem' such as registry BSODs which is probably 80%+ of this forum or specialist problems like the age old flash in a 64 bit browser problem or how to get Windows XP mode apps in the Windows 7 start menu.
If we're looking to satisfy the masses it would be easier to not have specialist pages and lump them all in together and hope the specialist ones get spotted by specialists and are solved.
However if we had specialist forums, for example 64 bit specific specialist problems, who's to say we shouldn't keep creating sparsely populated niche forums for everything?
EDIT: For the love of Atheizmo, how do you keep beating me to put down posts severedsolo?!???!?!!!

You really don't have to use the Seven Forums. Membership here is voluntary, nobody is forcing you. Feel free to setup an x64 forum and stop trolling here.

someone has a different opinion. and is not willing to conform and agree with you
so you think im a troll
how nice for you.
you never answered my question..
is there any software that Ultimate & Enterprise will run that starter and home will not?
are there different drivers?
are the updates the same? or do special ones come out for Ultimate & Enterprise?
any other basic limitations?
not lots of intelligent conversion going on. what is now degraded into name calling.
good luck with that.
i can see why they have a chill out room
im just surprised it dose not have more posts in in
unless they delete them from time to time to reduce the impact

Break it up Kari and Nutpantz you know what the consiquences for fighting can be.
In answer to your questions Nutpantz all the updates (except perhaps Windows Aero ones) are the same for every version of 7. The drivers are all the same. Pro, enterprise and ultimate will run Windows XP mode as well as being able to perform certain network connectivety tasks as well as some other stuff I don't use that the other versions can't do. Home Basic and below don't support Aero.
|My System Specs
|06 Apr 2010
There are more differences between Ultimate / Enterprise and the other editions, than there is between x86 and x64. If you were half so clever you'd like us to believe, you would have noticed it yourself. Same with Starter compared with the rest. Compare Windows 7 Editions
Over 70,000 members here, mostly quite happy, and then come you. Second day as a member, 16 posts, over third of them in this thread, which you started with your third post.
Yes, it's trolling. I beg you to start your own x64 forum, so you can feel yourself better.

KKR's Green Portfolio Program Achieves Three Major Milestones In Its Fourth Year
KKR announced the fourth year of results from its Green Portfolio Program (GPP) today. Launched in 2008 with Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the GPP comprises 24 enrolled KKR private equity portfolio companies focused on improving their environmental and business performance around the world. Through efforts in energy and water efficiency, better waste handling, and operational improvements, the reporting portfolio companies achieved approximately $644 million in combined financial impact and avoided more than 1.2 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, 3.4 million tons of waste, and 13.2 million cubic liters of water use, cumulatively from 2008 through 2011.
"Nearly five years since we started on this journey with EDF and our portfolio companies, our results continue to demonstrate the significant environmental and financial benefits of our program's efforts," said George Roberts, Co-Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of KKR. "However, the results also show us the enormous opportunities that remain to continue to improve operations and enhance the companies in which we invest. Our commitment to partnering with our portfolio companies on environmental sustainability remains strong."
The Green Portfolio Program was designed to encourage innovation, reduce environmental impacts, and improve the financial bottom line of KKR's participating private equity portfolio companies. The program began with just three portfolio companies. During the last four years, the GPP has grown to encompass 24 of KKR's portfolio companies globally, including the addition of eight new companies in 2012: Del Monte Foods and Capsugel in the U.S.; TDC A/S in Denmark; Versatel and KION Group in Germany; Bharti Infratel and Dalmia Bharat Cement in India; and MMI in Singapore. TDC, Van Gansewinkel, and Visant are reporting results for the first time. The remaining new companies are expected to report results for the first time in 2013.
"Moving forward, in addition to working intensively with GPP participants, we will focus on sharing our findings and best practices across the entire KKR portfolio," said Ken Mehlman, Head of Global Public Affairs and a Member of KKR. "We are proud of our progress to date and believe this is the next step in scaling the program to create an even-larger opportunity for positive impact in our portfolio and beyond."

Day 103
Even still...
With his prolonged absence, we feel the stagnation that life took. A hold came upon us all, our development inflicted with an emptiness where he once fit.
The days could be a little bit brighter, the celebrations happier, the milestones attended to longer. We all feel the strange heaviness of him gone and try, all we can, to be happy for this moment.
The milestones are the hardest, the traditions and the markers of life. These have us all reeling for closure and reuniting. These all pull our hearts, these all present a thickness in the day our feet attempt to walk through, heavily picking up one foot with hesitation and letting it fall in front of other. Wading through the sad undertone in the air, here we are together. Still, we sing; still, we dance; still we celebrate what we do indeed have anyway.

Coffee-Marinated Bison Short Ribs
Tenderizing meat with coffee makes sense due to coffee's natural acidity. And because beef is a hearty ingredient, it won't be overpowered by the coffee's flavor.

There are excellent energy rebate programs going on all across the U.S. to make your home more energy efficient. No matter what state you live in, the majority of local electric utility distribution providers are offering financial incentives to homeowners to upgrade the energy efficiency of their home. What is available in your area is totally dependent upon which specific local distribution supplier that you have. Not everyone lives in an area where incentive programs are available. It's up to each individual homeowner to find out what is available in their own location.

All programs vary, from state-to-state, city-to-city, and local geographical locations. There is a wide spectrum of energy rebates running from a free replacement of your home thermostat to $15,000 for installing a solar energy system in your home. Most rebates cover insulation, radiant barrier, and HVAC upgrades. Some programs offer rebates for installing solar screens, solar water heaters, and energy efficient windows. Most programs offer a solar energy discount ranging from $2 to $3 per kilowatt installed in your home. Each program has specific coverages and qualification requirements.

The local electric distribution service providers are offering free money to upgrade your home to lessen the load off of local electrical transmission grids which capacities are frequently overloaded. The majority of transmission lines in the USA are outdated and very expensive to upgrade or replace. Many of our transmission lines were built 20 to 30 years ago, in some cases even more. In simple terms, the grid is struggling to keep up with population growth, new homes, and new businesses.

To find out what incentives are available in your area, you must contact your personal local electric distribution provider. Your provider is not always who you buy power from. In deregulated areas, you must contact the company you call when the power goes out. That is your distribution provider. Which company handles outages in your area should be listed on your latest electric bill. Start by visiting their website. Most energy efficiency programs are listed on company websites. In most cases, you can contact your provider by either email or phone.

As an example, in the Dallas Forth Worth area in North Texas: If you live in Dallas, you would need to call Oncor. Oncor handles the electric distribution in the majority of the DFW metroplex. Up the road 20 miles north, in Lewisville, you would call TNMP (Texas New Mexico Power). If you lived 10 miles further north, in Denton, you would need to contact Denton Municipal Electric. Oncor, TNMP, and Denton Municipal Electric all have energy efficiency programs. All 3 programs vary in product categories, dollar amounts, and percentages of coverage.

Two cream of the crop programs going in the State of Texas are in Austin and Denton. Both Austin Energy at the State Capitol and Denton Municipal Electric in Denton have excellent energy efficiency programs. Austin Energy offers rebates on programmable thermostats, HVAC upgrades, heat pumps, window AC units, and several types of water heaters. Denton Municipal Electric offers rebates for insulation, solar screens, energy efficient window upgrades, HVAC upgrades, programmable thermostats, and solar energy systems.

Here is a breakdown of rebates offered by Denton Municipal Electric:

Programmable Thermostats: $50 per unit/ up to 50%

Insulation: $400 per structure/ up to 50%

Radiant Barrier: $300 per structure

Solar Screens: $200 per structure/ up to 30%

HVAC Upgrades: $700 per unit limit (16 SEER or higher)

Windows: $500 per structure/ up to 30%

Solar Water Heaters: $300 per structure/ up to 50%

Solar Energy System: $15,000 maximum/ $3 per watt

When you compare the two programs, they are very similar, yet, there are differences. Both programs cover solar energy systems, HVAC upgrades, and solar water heaters. However, the Austin Energy program does not cover radiant barrier, windows, or solar screens. On the other hand, the Austin Energy program offers rebates for new window air conditioning units and free programmable thermostats at no cost to customers (certain conditions apply).

The bottom line is that each program is unique in each locality. Two unique examples are: in Marshall, Minnesota, Marshall Municipal Utilities offers customers rebates for load management, lighting, and holiday lighting. In Idaho Falls, Idaho, Idaho Falls Power offers free energy audits, rebates for manufactured homes, and zero interest loans for energy efficient appliances.

Children in Chains, China's New Child Abuse
Last month in a shocking expose extensively reported in China Daily, the daily newspaper launched reports and undercover photographs of orphans chained up in a government-run welfare institute in Wenzhou (Cangnan county) which has shocked and horrified readers all across Asia. In the last accounts, the newspaper noted "Experts said a lack of professional nursing staff was the main reason the children were chained and said such cases occurred at welfare institutes across China."
Other child care professionals commented that the "tie-up" is widely accepted. This welfare institute housed 21 children who are now being moved elsewhere. Apparently there is no provision under Chinese law which would allow the Chinese government to bring charges of child abuse against orphanage employees that were trying to help house unwanted children overnight.
The photos depicted 2-year old Guo Qun tethered to the back of an old wooden chair by a strip of cloth around his neck. Next to him 8-year old Guo Cheng's right foot was tied to the same chair by a chain. In comments that rocked China authorities said staff of Cangnan County Social Welfare Institute tied up the boys due to safety concerns. "Children (of the welfare house) are only restrained when they have a twitch or a propensity to violence — they're free for the rest of time."
According to Wu, both the boys were born with defects and that is why they ended up in the institute. The Institute houses 21 orphans, 19 of them were born with defects. The average age is nine, poor babies. Lost souls.
Do you have fears about adopting internationally? My family is not eligible to adopt from China because we're too old.

Linking to the whole story, it said that the child was chained because he was schizophrenic. How do you diagnose a 2-year-old with that? That's poor child raising, plain & simple. He was also labeled "incontinent." He's 2, that means he is not to be expected t fully have control over his bladder. It doesn't mean there's some sort of problem with him. I hope these children are able to get the love and care they deserve rather than the sickening "care" they were subjected to.

1995 Mazda 626Visitor, Northridge, CA, November 05, 2010 17:31Car is 16 years old with 138000 miles. Just replaced rear brakes for the first time. Just had first engine repair-water pump. Clear coat on paint just beginning to wear through, on a car that has been outside it's whole life. Now the bad. Auto trans rebuilt at 50 and 85 thousand miles. It has unrepairable cooling issues, just a poor design. There was a recall movement, but nothing ever came of it. Door panel material has shrunk and peeled off, and headliner rotted and came loose, The four cylinder engine with the auto is very weak. With the AC on the acceleration is poor, and the MPG drops by about five mpg

Coachella might have rocked the socks off some celebrities this weekend, but Rihanna is reportedly head over heels for rapper, A$AP Rocky. Rihanna was spotted in the VIP section watching A$AP kill it on stage and afterwards she was caught talking to the rapper, inquiring about his gold teeth, and sending a runner out for drinks to share. Who knows if this will blossom into a relationship for Rihanna but until then we can daydream about all the tattoos and golden grills they could get together.
A$AP Rocky just released his first single, Goldie, from his official debut album, LongLiveA$AP. Also, Rihanna is killing it still with hometown hero, Drake, with their song Take Care. Watch the video below.

Damsel in Distress Stories
Stories I've written about tied-up heroines.
I like creating humorous stories about damsels in distress. Nothing mean, just stories about heroines who for some reason or another find themselves tied up and perhaps in perilous situations. No one is tortured or humiliated; there is no sex; and you can be sure that everything ends without anyone coming to any actual harm, even if I do give a story a cliff-hanger ending.

Review - Isla Teja Hotel
Don't stay here during cold weather!Submitted by: Robyn in 05/05/08
- Age Group: 51 - 60
- From: Australia
- Traveller type: Mature Couple
If you enjoy cold showers and cold rooms during zero and 3 degree Celsius minimum temperatures, this is the hotel for you. This hotel seems to have a policy of constantly turning off the hot water to the bathroom and the radiator heaters. Also, most of the staff are either eating or playing computers games at the reception desk. Not a good look to guests.

DALLAS It was an ordinary night, August 26, at the Exxon Tiger Mart at South Polk Street and Interstate 20 in Dallas.
C.J. Thomas,the store'sclerk, was behind the counter when a rush of customers came through the door at 10:12 p.m.
There was more coming in than going out, Thomas said. Once they realized how many were in there, one of the students started throwing stuff and screamed out. Everything after that went crazy.
Store surveillance cameras from different angles showbottles being thrown.
Seconds later, Thomas ran to the front door. He tried to close it, but he couldn't hold back the crowd.
Some of them grabbed drinks, chips, and other items and began pushing their way out. Thomas said he tried to stop some people from stealing.
In the process of them walking out, tried to stop a student with a lot of things in his hands and when I tried to do that, he shoved me out into the parking lot and swung at me, Thomas said.
Thomas then says several men then pulled him to the ground and started kicking and punching him.
I was terrified, he said. At first, I thought I would be able to get back into the store, and once they got me on the ground, I thought they were going to kill me.
Thomas suffered cuts on his nose, eyes and lip. He still has a bruised rib and bicep. He told us his injuries would have been worse if two girls hadn't stepped in.
I'm very grateful for that, said Thomas. If it wasn't for them, I could have lost my life.
Thomas and his family met with Dallas police Wednesday afternoon.Officers are now investigating the incident as an aggravated robbery assault. Thomas hopes this video motivates witnesses to come forward.
If you all have any idea who did this, please put their names out there, 'cause if they don't get caught, they are going to do it again, Thomas said.
If you have any information on this case, call the Dallas Police Department.

Thanks. With so much oil/NG in the USA now the Canadian stuff wouold just add to the backlog. We need to build more refineries in Canada. BTW, we're still importing oil as well!!!
I'm glad to see you got your consecutive days back! Bad GasBuddy! lol! Ron
It looks like the GasBuddy system dropped more 300 GBs back to zero consecutive days this morning! Yesterday, there were 1,163 GasBuddies with 1,000 consecutive days or more, now there are only 849, and my buddies abuck and chris85am (1,255) both went to zero this morning also! Yesterday, the bottom of the list of 4,000 consecutive day leaders was at 277 days, now it is 137! Something is definitely wrong with the system! I have sent the mods a message this morning! They probably have already been hit with a ton of messages! Send the mods a message to let them know that you went back to zero! Hopefully, they'll fix the system and restore your consecutive days along with the other 300 or so! Have a nice week! Ron
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 2M mark and your nice new ride! Wow! Truly awesome! Keep leading the way for others to follow here in GasBuddyland! More than 90% of all the GBs that signed up over the past 13 years will never make it to 1M points, most GBs quit before they even get close, and there are only 3,545 GBs out of more than 8 million plus GBs that have reached 2M points! :( Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at 3M points with that big red limo, only 1,272 GBs out of more than 8 million plus GBs that signed up over the past 13+ years have continued onto 3M points ! Keep going, don't stop now! It's nice seeing you come back each day as I track your progress to that 3M milestone! Thanks buddy for your 7+ years of dedication here in GasBuddyLand! Have a nice week! Ron
Thank you.
Wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas and most joyous and prosperous new year! May God bless us, everyone!
VV, Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a less gubr'ment intrusive, thereby more prosperous year ahead. (stay warm up there :)
Merry Christmas my friend and best wishes for a healthy, safe and prosperous 2014!
Happy Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful day! Ron
VomVom, Thank You for the birthday wishes! It's been a good day so far even though I had to work. But, work is done for today and I have had a wonderful dinner this evening with the wife and our two daughters. I appreciate your friendship and thanks again for the birthday wishes!

Suburbs: The new face of America's poor?
Suburbs, not inner cities, are home to the largest and fastest-growing poor population in the US. Unfortunately, they don't often have the services to help.
Stephen J. Carrera/Special to The Christian Science Monitor
David Knox sits at a suburban Chicago food pantry, scanning local headlines that seem less dire than those that might sum up his own life at the moment: His home is in foreclosure. He lost his job in September. His wife is on disability after a car accident.
Mr. Knox lines up once a month at a food pantry in Hoffman Estates, a middle-class suburb just a short drive from the biggest mall in the area and the global headquarters of Fortune 500 companies like Motorola, McDonald's, and Kraft Foods. Knox, a computer programmer, used to be part of that prosperous world. But at 53 and with skills he says are rapidly becoming obsolete, he doubts his ability to climb back in.
"I'm older, and in a lot of cases they want to hire younger people," he says.
Knox, once a middle-class suburban homeowner, may be the new face of American poverty. The suburbs – not the inner cities – are now home to the largest and fastest-growing poor population in the US, according to a report by the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. The population of poor jumped 15 percent between 2000 and 2008 – reversing the previous decade's gains – but the suburbs saw the biggest increase, climbing by 25 percent. By 2008, according to Brookings, the suburbs were home to one-third of the nation's poor.
Many are first-generation migrants struggling to find low-wage jobs, but others are middle-class professionals fallen from fortune.

It's cheap, it comes ready to use with batteries plugged in and all taken care of. The shockbutton is perfectly strong in my opinion. Not too stong not too weak.

It worked perfectly and fun to prank people with, since they won't except to get shocked by a laser. The second button on the laser will only make people more curious so that they will press it.

It is very small with a nice working laser with a red dot. The laser is brighter as I expected. It fits in your pocket. Its easy to fool your friends and it gives a big shock when batteries are full.

This little gadget is sooo unassuming that no one will even think its a shocking device. no one will be suspicious of it, thinking its just a laser pointer, and seeing you play with it.

The laser itself has excellent range and visibility, far better than others that I have used. Cannot change the batteries. Large - it's about 1.5x the size of other key chain lasers.

muse92 a Ć©crit:histoire de relancer le topic, Ć©coutons ce que dit http://www.thedigitalbits.com[Editor's Note: Much is made online of the evils of DNR on Blu-ray and other HD presentations. Sometimes that's absolutely justified (Patton, Pan's Labyrinth) and sometimes it's less so. It's important to note that with the Digital Interpositive (D.I.) process used in the post production of so many films these days, DNR is just one more tool in the post production toolbox, not unlike color timing. Just because there's DNR visible on a Blu-ray, that doesn't automatically mean it was done specifically in the BD mastering process. It's often applied by the filmmakers in post production as well, prior to the film's appearance in theatres. DNR is a tool, and like any tool it can be used to both positive and negative effect. So the issue of DNR is far more complicated - particularly with regard to new and recent films - than you'd think based on some of the online discussions of the subject.]
Oui mais quand le DNR est appliquĆ© en post prod par le rĆ©al, c'est souvent pour que les scĆØnes Ć effets spĆ©ciaux se dĆ©marquent moins des vrais Ć©lĆ©ments du dĆ©cor, c'est un "blend in".

Efficient organometal trihalide perovskite planar-heterojunction solar cells on flexible polymer substrates.
Summary of "Efficient organometal trihalide perovskite planar-heterojunction solar cells on flexible polymer substrates."
Organometal trihalide perovskite solar cells offer the promise of a low-cost easily manufacturable solar technology, compatible with large-scale low-temperature solution processing. Within 1 year of development, solar-to-electric power-conversion efficiencies have risen to over 15%, and further imminent improvements are expected. Here we show that this technology can be successfully made compatible with electron acceptor and donor materials generally used in organic photovoltaics. We demonstrate that a single thin film of the low-temperature solution-processed organometal trihalide perovskite absorber CH3NH3PbI3-xClx, sandwiched between organic contacts can exhibit devices with power-conversion efficiency of up to 10% on glass substrates and over 6% on flexible polymer substrates. This work represents an important step forward, as it removes most barriers to adoption of the perovskite technology by the organic photovoltaic community, and can thus utilize the extensive existing knowledge of hybrid interfaces for further device improvements and flexible processing platforms.

Veg Boxes
Shortly after we moved up to Northumberland the first time, we became aware of an organic veg box scheme, but for some reason didn't ever get round to using it. Part of that reason was because I was fairly adamant that we would be Growing Our Own thankyouverymuch and wanted to try to be as self-sufficient as we could. Often, this would result in huge gluts of courgettes, tomatoes, runner beans, chard and potatoes, but very little else as my ability to grow beetroot, carrots and broad beans was limited (I don't know about you, but I like beetroot to be a little larger than a marble and my carrots not to resemble a piece of orange lace!). Quite why I didn't go for the veg box then, to supplement my own offerings, I shall never know, but since moving back, I knew that I wanted to give it a go, so I signed up for a month's trial and have just collected my first lot of vegetables.
For a long time, eating organically was seen a bit of a snob's preserve and few believed the claims made about the possible health and environmental benefits. Thanks to a stellar study published by Newcastle University a couple of months ago (more details and full paper here), the benefits of organic vegetables versus their conventional counterparts far exceed what even I thought possible. What does this mean? It means that there are 60% more antioxidants and considerably lower neuro-toxic metals, such as cadmium and mercury, in my veg box than in a conventionally-grown one. This means that to reach my magic five-a-day goal, I wouldn't need to actually eat five a day, yet I would get almost all of the same benefits (minus the roughage).
All of the vegetables produced are organic and grown locally (though some fruit has to be shipped in – Northumberland's climate doesn't support banana production!), and compared to standard non-organic supermarket fare, they are considerably cheaper, as we have cut the middle man out of the equation. Cost is a big issue for many, if not all, families and I know that vegetable prices have rocketed in the last couple of years. When buying at a supermarket, we could happily spend about £20 per week on conventionally-grown fruit and veg, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on our menu. For one week of our organic, locally-grown fruit and veg, it'll cost us the princely sum of £13 (for a whole week's fruit and veg!) and there is plenty in the box to keep us going for a whole week. If that doesn't make you want to go organic, I don't know what will! Each week, the selection of vegetables changes, which ensures seasonality and a diversity of ingredients throughout the year. I'm also hoping that this regular influx of new vegetables will help inspire me to try new recipes and stretch my kitchen repertoire. As for tonight, I'm thinking lop-pork sausages from our favourite (Lincolnshire) farm shop with a selection of yummy roasted veg, lentils and wilted chard. Not bad, eh?

Finally a day with some sunshine and most importantly NO RAIN.
Today we're keeping it simple with partly cloudy skies and afternoon highs in the lower to mid 80s.
Many kids around the area are enjoying their last few days of freedom before school starts on Monday. And what better we to do that than to enjoy an afternoon outside out in the sun.
The dry and warm weather will be with us through the weekend.
Have a great day.

Why Do I Feel Like My Girlfriend is Avoiding/Ignoring Me?
So this all started two months ago when she confessed to me. We were best friends since 5th grade and now we're in 8th. Anyways, we were on our spring break and she suddenly texted me telling me that she liked me. We started dating a week after that. She has been a great friend before that and I know literally everything about her. She tells me when she's in a bad mood, when she has her period and all that. We were happy until 2 to 3 weeks ago, I felt like she started avoiding me; both at school and on gmail/whatsapp. I have told her multiple times about her being so moody and she simply said it was her period. But that was almot 3 weeks ago, how could her period last THAT LONG? Then she started to ignore all my texts, nor does she talk to me at school, not even a simple wave. And most importantly, she is never on gmail ever again! We don't even talk anymore now. I asked her about that but she said it was her parents. (her parents are rich/famous as hell in Asia and also really protective/strict so she isn't allowed to date) I wasn't too aware of this until yesterday. Yesterday, a friend of mine said he had to tell me something about my girlfriend's ex. And that what he was about to tell me would make me heartbroken. He didn't tell me at last but that has kept me up all night. Of course he could very well be sh*tting me but all of this is just killing me. As you can see I'm really f***ing paranoid Because I really love her and she seriously means a lot to me. I jut want some advice from you guys and maybe a few ways to tell if she's cheating or just plain avoiding me. Thanks for your time and any help is much appreciated!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Sounds like she gave you some signs to stop contacting her.I am sure she wanted to be honest but she doesn't want to upset or disappoint you.In your case my guess is she doesn't want her family to find out about the relationship because she knows they won't approve it.I don't think she is cheating.There is a high chance this is about her family.Give her some times.If she keeps remaining silent then I am sorry to tell you there is nothing you can do about it.You can send her a last message and tell her that you guys need to talk and you willing to listen to whatever reasons she is ignoring you.Tell her you are ready for anything.I hope she will consider replying you.
Thanks for the BA.
What Girls Said 5
Honey, you guys are children. Forget all this relationship nonsense and enjoy your youth before you are swallowed up in college exams and retail hell. I would just believe her regarding her parents (I wasn't allowed to date until 15, and my parents weren't strict) and move on. It was immature of her to give excuses and not be upfront, but come on, you're 13/14 years old. People 10 years older than you still act like children.
Sorry for your situation. It's possible I guess that her family want her to be with her ex not you, or she is conflicted and unsure of her feelings about him, but I would definitely not assume she's cheating. I think you need to confront her about her behavior and what it means for your relationship. She's not responding to your texts but I'd say she is reading them - text her and say you've had enough of being ignored and you're coming around to her place if she doesn't pick up the phone and talk to you about it. I don't think that's too stalkery because you guys are still theoretically in a rel'ship and she hasn't actually told you to back off.

The Company is an online auction marketplace for wholesale, surplus and salvage assets. It enable buyers and sellers to transact in an efficient, automated online auction environment offering over 500 product categories.
Not a sexy business, but who cares as long as it makes money. With a 20% sell off, I'll bite. Expecting a long term winner, and got it at a discount.
Even after taking the hit, it's still at 20x earnings and first quarter FY13 was horrible. Top line looks good but bottom line has been all over the place. What's the case for it to go up? Even if the two analyst estimates for FY14 are right, it's still at 15x+ PE. Seems like the sell off put it where it is supposed to be on a fair valuation, not at a bargain price.
I see a forward P/E of 12.3, and here's the case I see for LQDT right now.
Its TTM price to earnings is about half the industry average. Its 3 year average growth is over triple the industry average. It's operating margin is over triple the industry average. Its net margin is double the industry average.
It's growing revenues consistently, bringing home juicy net margins, and doesn't have a ton of competition. Maybe me wording it as "at a discount" wasn't the way to say it. But I like LQDT as an investment going forward, and I'm glad I bought in after the 20% discount.
And I did it again... * after 20% drop*

More reviews by AntiqueGlitter
Whenever somebody asks me what are my top recommended eyeshadow brushes, I tell them: "MAC 187, 129, 217, and 239." There are other MAC brushes that I use and like (such as the 219 and 209 brush), but if I had to choose my top 4 brushes, those would be it.
The 239 Eye Shader Brush, honestly, really isn't that special. The concept isn't new; it's actually pretty traditional. But out of all the regular eyeshadow brushes, this one of best.
The bristles are white, soft, packed, and dense. The density allows for easy eyeshadow application. But please note that this isn't a multi-purpose brush. This brush is made exclusively for packing eyeshadow onto the lid. I also use this brush to apply MAC Pigment (which is a loose, concentrated powder that can be used as basically anything. I use it as eyeshadow though) onto the lid. Although, who knows? There might be other undiscovered uses that I don't know of.
The price, which is about $25, is rather expensive, but that's the kind of price tag you expect from MAC. I'm not sure if it's worth that much though (more like $15-$20).
Would I repurchase? Yes, but I doubt I'll need to.
Here's what I love about this brush - the application is so smooth. Yes, it can be a bit shy with some colors, but even when you layer, the application is so smooth and even. It's slightly large for my crease area, but I angle it a bit, and it works great. I love it for my lid above the lashes, and have two - one for light and one for dark colors. I've had mine for over 20 years, and they're still fantastic. While some people like the 242, because it's smaller and more generous with the depositing of color, the application to me is grainy.

This is a versatile brush. I can use it on the eyelid, in the crease, under the eye for smudging. I have even used it as a concealer brush. I thoroughly recommend it, the bristles are very soft and they dry fast after cleansing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this in applying lid colors. Very soft. Doesn't bleed or shed. Dries very fast. Will purchase again if I lost my current one.
Ah, 239, where would I be without you?
I have a lot of make-up brushes and tonnes of applicator brushes and (unless I'm using creams) the 239 is the one I always reach for.
Great for:
Packing colour onto the lid
Going under the eye
Doing a soft brow
Smudging the crease colour (if going for quite a defined crease look).
Have had this for years and it's never shed and it hasn't lost its shape. It's easy to clean (one caveat, see below) and dries quickly following a deep clean. It's dense. It's stiff, but not too stiff so you can smudge with it.
The single complaint. White hair?? It looks classy when it's new but it can stain. I have serious OCD when it comes to stuff like staining so I have spent the hours to get mine clean again. I wasn't going to bother but when I dipped my green stained brush into a pale champagne eyeshadow guess what happened..? Yep, puke green eyes. I guess my experience shows that it can be cleaned again - mine look white as new now - but the upshot is that I now don't use the brush with some highly pigmented eyeshadows or bright pigments that it should be fine for.
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
There is no doubt that this is a truly great eye shadow brush. It applies colour really well - if you are into "packing on" eye colour, this is really the brush for you. It sweeps and blends shadows beautifully too, even the less than ideal shadows - the 239 will help them apply more evenly. When I first bought this brush, I wondered why anyone would make a brush with WHITE hairs but this brush comes back to its pristine shade with a simple washing with baby shampoo, no matter what colours you've used or how "dirty" it looks. There is no "package" to speak of or to rate (sorry but at these prices, MAC could include some sort of reusable "package" that would keep this brush clean in your purse/makeup bag). And the brush ain't cheap....and it seems to me that MAC has really jacked up its prices for brushes (which was already pretty steep) in the last year or so.
So, while this is a great brush, whether it's worth the price or not is, I guess, an individual decision. I'd love to own a 2nd one of these but at these prices, I think I'll pass, though this is certainly "repurchase worthy". I have a Sonia Kashuk eye shadow brush (the one with the white handle) that I've had for several years that is almost every bit as good as the 239 (maybe not quite so perfect but pretty close), and it cost under 10 dollars.

I like this brush its perfect for my lids, however its costly and I think Sigma brushes are just as good. Im not a huge MAC fan I feel like they are overratted in many ways. However I think the quility is good. The lettering on the brush fades really fast my sigma brushes still have the name on them and I got them before my mac brush but I do like it.
This brush is not really that worth it to me. It only works on my lid, and is probably too big for my lid. I can use it for an all over wash of color, but for anything else, I have to blend blend blend blend to get it to look right. I'd rather just use a smaller lid brush or the 219for more concentrated colors or my 217 for an all over wash.
This is my first and only MAC brush. I hope to get more, but this one is definitely a great start! It's not itchy like most brushes, and it blends eyeshadow so nicely. It's pretty pricey at 30 dollars, although there are definitely way more expensive. I'd say it's definitely worth the price though, although my boyfriend seems to think I'm absolutely insane for thinking so haha.
I have two of these because I like to do multiple colors for many of my looks, and this brush is a perfect lay down brush and in a pinch you can also use just the tip for smudging, etc.
I sometimes wish it werent white just because I get residual colors left there even after washing it with brush shampoo!
