COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - Curtis Dickson scored three goals, including the winner with 19 seconds to go as Canada edged the Iroquois nationals 9-8 at the world field lacrosse championships on Sunday.
Canada led 8-3 in the third quarter before the Iroquois stormed back with five goals to tie the contest late in the fourth.
Adam Jones had two goals and two assists for Canada (2-1), while Wesley Berg, David Earl, Mark Matthews and Jeremy Noble also scored.
Lyle Thompson led the Iroquois (2-1) with three goals and an assist. Randy Staats scored two and assisted on another, and Cody Jamieson, Miles Thompson and Craig Point added single goals.
Canada outshot the Iroquois 39-35.
The United States leads the blue division — which features Canada, the Iroquois, Australia, England and Japan — with a 3-0 record after downing Japan 21-3 earlier Sunday. Canada plays Japan on Monday and Australia on Tuesday to wrap up pool play.
Israel, New Zealand, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Ireland and the Czech Republic won their respective divisions with 3-0 records at the end of their round robin play. The Netherlands won the green division 2-1. Those eight teams will play two rounds of games on Monday and Tuesday with the two remaining undefeated teams advancing to the quarter-finals Wednesday against the third and fourth place finishers from the blue division.

Many attend community ceremonies acknowledging the role of our soldiers in preserving the American way of life and protecting our fundamental ideals, the most significant of which is freedom.
An untold number of families have members of the military within their immediate and extended throng of loved ones, whether local, in some distant corner of our nation or on the other side of the world.
It is the truly blessed families who still have a veteran from a past war within their households — whether the man or woman in uniform is a survivor of the World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq eras.
Some organizations, schools and churches are already observing veterans ceremonies in tribute to individuals within their own congregations and membership rolls. Some did it Friday. Some are doing it today. But Veterans Day itself comes Monday, a time when our hometown community comes together as one in tribute to our men and women in uniform, past and present.
The annual Veterans Day Ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. in beautiful downtown Cleveland on the Bradley County Courthouse Plaza. Other observances might also take place over the course of the day. Whenever, wherever and under whatever circumstances they are held, we urge full participation.
It is important and this is why. Our nation and our community owe a deepening debt of gratitude to those who wear the American uniform and who apologize to no one for their love of country and their belief in the message behind the red, white and blue of the U.S. flag.
As we have pointed out in years past, in some communities Veterans Day — and even Memorial Day — are given little recognition other than serving as the third day of a three-day weekend.
Not only is this disconcerting, it is disrespectful to those who have safeguarded the many freedoms we hold so dear in today's troubled world.
Let none make this mistake. Veterans Day and Memorial Day observations are not celebrations of war. They are not a sand-in-the-line plea for additional military confrontation. No one wants war, nor should they. A uniformed soldier would be among the first to agree.
Wars are won and wars are lost.
But what of the soldiers who must fight them? Even in their nation's victory, few soldiers win. These courageous warriors must spend the rest of their lives haunted by the memories of combat, the uncertainties of death and the stark reality that life for them has changed forever. In the knowing words of Argentine writer Jose Narosky, who we have quoted in previous commentaries, "In war, there are no unwounded soldiers."
In keeping with this message, we offer a reminder to all — especially to those who have surviving veterans within their families, those who work with a veteran or those who call a veteran friend.
To honor their sacrifice is an admirable act and one that is well-deserved. But deepen those tributes. Get to know the veteran and to understand his ways or her values.
Don't just glance at a veteran during a ceremony; look into the eyes.
Don't just shake the hand of a veteran; tighten the grip and hold the exchange.
Don't just slap the veteran on the back; embrace the warrior and feel the warmth.
Don't just "congratulate" the veteran on this special day; offer a "God Bless You" and say it with feeling.
Don't just wave at a veteran across the way; seek him out in the crowd or find her after the ceremony and say, "Let me buy you a cup of coffee. I just want to talk."
Don't assume a veteran has little to say; engage his expression and read her mannerisms, then interpret with reassuring kindness and unconditional love.
Veterans Day is, and should always be, a venue for ceremony.
But most importantly, it is a time for sharing.
We urge all to share on Monday.

So the recovery: Happening for the elites. Not for the rest. An interesting take on this has to do with SS benefits and "entitlement reform": if workers got their share of projected productivity growth over [the past two decades], wages would be around 40 percent higher in 2035 than they are today. How much do you want to bet that workers would prefer before-tax wages that are 40 percent higher with another 2 percentage points pulled out for Medicare, than stagnant wages and no tax increases? IOW; the upward redistribution of wealth in this country is affecting our retirement too. |

Four hurt in Cumbria fells
Last updated at 18:55, Sunday, 24 February 2013
MOUNTAIN rescue teams were busy with a number of call outs in the Cumbria fells this weekend.
Yesterday members of Patterdale and Keswick Mountain Rescue Teams were called to the Thirlmere side of Helvellyn, where a father and son had fallen on an icy path.
Both had sustained leg injuries and were airlifted from the scene by a Navy Sea King helicopter.
While the first incident was finishing, the team received a call from the police to say that someone had fallen on the other side of Helvellyn. A 27-year-old man from Cheshire was reported to have fallen 100m on the face of Helvellyn, towards Red Tarn.
When they reached the man he was found to have dislocated his shoulder and fractured his ankle. He was treated for his injuries, splinted, placed into a stretcher and then lowered down the snow slope to a waiting air ambulance.
While the second incident was under way, the team was alerted to reports a 47-year-old walker from Oxfordshire had fallen, again on icy slopes, fracturing his ankle.
Members of the Patterdale team were diverted from the second incident to this incident and the Penrith team was called to assist.
They found the man, splinted his leg and he was winched into a helicopter which took him to hospital.
The Wasdale and Duddon and Furness Mountain Rescue Teams were also in action yesterday after a woman fell and injured her knee on Scafell.
The Navy flew members of the teams to the scene and the woman was flown to hospital.

Have your say
Is it just me or is something mentaly wrong with people that decide to go walking in such conditions ie ice, snow. And majority of time think its a level headed idea to take thier kids in tow!
Surley u would climb the Lakes highest points in Spring, Summer even Autumn, leaving the Wintery condtitions for lower fell walks ie round tarns. I just cant for the life of me figure out why put your kids in such danger, and yourselfs, in these conditions.Also mountain rescue need to take action. There needs to be fines for careless mindless people. For example, each case should be investigated on and individual case, ie if u cant read a map/ dont have the right equipment and end up lost- u get fined the call out charge. Or, if you fall over, break a leg, then so be it, accidents happen.I would love a response from any mountain rescue team member to why you put your life in danger for careless people time and time again. Brave is one word for the mountain rescue team. Patience is the other.

The World Champion San Francisco Giants will dedicate a section of their parking lot across the Lefty O'Doul Bridge from AT&T Park into "The Yard", which will contain an Anchor Steam beer garden, a coffee shop, some retail stores and a waterfront deck. The 18,000-square-foot facility should open in March.
Puritan Ohio Law Will Discourage Craft Brewing Investments
Ohio has a puritan style law that mandates that no beer made or sold here can be exceed 12 percent alcohol.
Ohio has a big disadvantage in the competition for craft-beer expansions, like the $31 million East Coast brewery planned by Stone Brewing Company. Ohio feels that Columbus is in the running, but it is up against two cities in Virginia — Norfolk and Richmond. Both cities are in a states that has no limit on what a creative brewer can do with the art of beer.
In a possible fix, Ohio House Bill 391 would end the limit of 12 percent, raising the cap to 21 percent and placing beer into the bracket between wine and liquor.
Beer Market Increasing in Maine
Maine's boom in craft beer production shows no signs of stopping this year, a trend that stands to increase craft beer's share of the overall beer market and raise competition among smaller brewers and national giants joining the fold.
A study commissioned by the Maine Brewers' Guild found the 35 breweries operating in 2013 plan to increase production by 36 percent this year and triple collective production in five years. This year, another eight breweries have come online, and another five are expected to open.
That growth comes against a national backdrop of craft breweries increasing production by 18 percent in 2013 and opening at an average rate of 1.2 breweries per day in recent years, according to the national Brewers Association.
"Which is insane," said Bart Watson, the association's staff economist, especially given that overall beer production last year was down about 2 percent.
But counting the number of craft breweries — the nearly 2,900 independently operated breweries that can be as large as Boston-based Samuel Adams — is not the way to think about just how much the market can sustain, according to Watson.
"Everyone should stop talking and/or worrying about the number of breweries," Watson said in a 2013 article. "It is much more relevant to talk about capacity and/or market share."
And that depends largely on changing beer-buyer preferences for dynamic flavors and local production. Peter Bissell, who started the Portland-based Bissell Brothers Brewing with his brother in November, said that leaves a lot of room to grow for the industry generating $92.6 million in Maine sales last year.
"The interesting thing is that the craft beer industry is changing at the same time as our economy is changing," Bissell said. "Older people say, 'When is the bubble going to burst?' and the truth is there is no bubble. … I think the sky's the limit."
And national craft brands, such as Sierra Nevada, see something happening here, too. In August, the nearly 1-million barrel California brewery will bring its beer tour to Portland, one of seven cities nationwide.
Nationally, Watson said craft beer makes up just less than 10 percent of the total beer market. In Maine, that number is close to 17 percent by volume, with Maine-made beers making up more than 7 percent of that total in 2013, according to state figures. And Watson said areas such as Portland, Oregon — where craft beers have more than 30 percent of the market — prove more is possible.
When there's not more market share to grab, brewers in Maine expect competition for producing unique, high-quality beers will heat up.
"It will ultimately create a higher level of quality across the board, and the weaker [breweries] aren't going to succeed," said Tim Adams, a co-founder of the Newcastle-based Oxbow Brewing, which expects to put out about 1,300 barrels of beer this year. A barrel contains 31 gallons.
Luke Livingston, founder of Baxter Brewing Co. in Lewiston, agrees that dynamic could be good for the industry, saying breweries that lose focus on quality and "aren't treating the business like a business" stand to be weeded out. But the newcomers have posed short-term challenges for his brewery that recently expanded and expects to produce up to 25,000 barrels this year.
Livingston said it's become harder to find space at the tap, prompting his company to look sooner than expected at distribution outside of its base market in northern New England.
"It's more difficult for more established breweries to get draft access than even two years ago," Livingston said. "It's funny being 3½ years old to consider ourselves more established, but this is just how this industry is now."
Sean Sullivan, executive director of the Maine Brewers' Guild, said he expects there's still room to add to the new batch of brewers, most of whom have different approaches, geographic focuses and do not compete directly.
"What we're seeing is a shift toward a lot of smaller breweries that have different distributions rather than a lot of nascent startups that are looking to total domination," Sullivan said.
That's the case for Tim Gallon, founder of the Orono-based Black Bear Brewery. Gallon said he expects to put out around 1,000 barrels of beer this year, up from 850 in 2013. So far, demand in northern Maine has been enough to move that much beer through bars, restaurants and the brewery's tasting room, which he said opened up his brewery's local niche.
So far, he said, collaboration with Bangor-area breweries has been a boon to his business. But he acknowledged there may be a tipping point.
"If a brewer opened up next door, I'd feel differently possibly," he said, but he tries not to focus on competing. "I think there's a healthy competition there, and you want to be the best you can be for yourself and not worry too much about what other people are doing."
But that competition won't come just from within the state. The craft beer boom has drawn attention from companies such as conglomerates Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors, who are putting more resources into developing and buying up their own craft brewing brands. Anheuser bought Chicago-based Goose Island in 2011, and it inked a deal this year to acquire the New York-based Blue Point Brewing.
In an October 2013 investor presentation, Adam Oakley, the company's vice president for high-end brands, said year-to-date production of Goose Island was up 67 percent over 2012. Its move to keep Goose Island independent, while providing the resources to boost production and distribution, kept quality high, according to Livingston.
While craft brewers in the state all said quality is the keystone to success, they noted local production and the ability granted by a 2011 law to open on-site tasting rooms still gives them an edge with customers in Maine and across the region.
"We get tourists here who can purchase directly from the brewers, and people are basing entire vacations around that," said Adams, with Oxbow, which last year tested sending its beer during the quieter winter season abroad to Copenhagen, Barcelona and Rome.
Closer to home, Adams said he's not worried about bigger breweries pushing into the craft market.
"I think consumers are becoming much more educated and for the most part are able to see through those facades," he said, noting some upside, too. "Some of those faux craft beers have actually been stepping stones for people to make the transition toward better beers, so I'm fine with it."
Goose Island at Chicago Craft Beer Week 2014
When Goose Island opened the doors to its Clybourn brewpub more than 25 years ago, "craft beer" was barely in Chicago's collective vocabulary. Now, new breweries open here each year, and we can brag that our favorite beers are made just a neighborhood away. All of that hometown pride culminates annually in Chicago Craft Beer Week—actually 11 days of $4 pint specials, tap takeovers and bar crawls—which runs May 15-25. So, how to prepare yourself? First, you should start carrying around a giant bottle of water … right now. This will serve you well. Next, download the official Chicago Craft Beer Week app so you have access to the full schedule, searchable by neighborhood, on your phone. But because sorting through 430-plus beer events can make your eyes glaze over, we've chosen a few can't-miss parties for every type of drinker.
Great Basin Brewing Company Takes Icky to California and Oregon
A Sparks craft brewery is taking some of their flagship beers on the road, thanks to some big upgrades. Last year, the locally-owned Great Basin Brewing Co. installed a new bottling system. Now they are churning out ten 6-packs every minute. They are also the home to the silver state's three largest fermentation tanks.
That extra muscle has made it possible to send some local favorites, like "Icky," over the state line. Great Basin says they are now equipped to ship more than 5 million bottles every year, to stores and restaurants in California and Oregon.
The company's beers are already available at more than 400 venues across Nevada. Great Basin owner and brew-master Tom Young calls the new expansion part of his "lifelong dream."

Invoke Their Wrath
A look at the Assault on Ulthuan expansion for Warhammer: Invasion |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 26 January 2010 |
Once again, the shores of Ulthuan are besieged. Led by Malekith, a power-hungry betrayer who seeks to rule the High Elves or destroy them in the attempt, the insidious Dark Elves drive an army of slaves deep into the lands of the Phoenix King. This will be a battle that will shake the Old World to its core; Malekith's prowess is as legendary as his ultimate betrayal, but the Phoenix King and his followers will do everything in their power to oppose the vile and destructive Dark Elves.
In December, we announced Assault on Ulthuan, an upcoming deluxe expansion for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game! The Assault on Ulthuan expansion explores the bitter enmity between the Dark Elves, a cruel race who enslave and sacrifice prisoners, and the High Elves, a proud race who rely on healing an ranged attacks. Featuring two forty-card core decks for these new factions, plus a host of new cards for players of existing factions, Assault on Ulthuan will bring a new level of excitement to your Warhammer: Invasion experience.
For this week's "card of the week" feature, we're pleased to reveal two powerful tactics that will no doubt become additions to any Elf player's deck.
First, the tactic card "For Ulthuan!" allows a High Elf player to strike a devastating blow against an unsuspecting enemy. Before choosing which of your battlefield units will be taking part in either attack, play this card. You will want to build your battlefield units considerably beforehand, since you will have to split your attacking forces... but if played correctly, you can bring the game to an early end!
In response, the Dark Elves possess a tactic that is potentially every bit as devastating as the Orc's Troll Vomit or the Empire's Judgement of Verena. "Invoke Khaine's Wrath" lets you deliver a harsh punishment to any foe, and its presence in your deck will make your opponent think twice about how many units to declare as attackers.
Both cards will make their way onto tabletops this spring, with the release of Assault on Ulthuan. Join us next week for another spotlight on Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game!
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a card game by Eric M. Lang in which 2 players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game™ format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
Awesome! can't wait to get this when it comes out!
I too am a little disappointed with the art of these two cards...the grittier the better :) High Elves can can be done to have an ethereal feeling in a gritty environment IMO...c.f. Archmage of Saphery, Radiant Gaze - hope to see more like those.
Also hope that High Elves will have something to better manage multiple corrupted units, as Chaos means to corrupt become more abundant...
love this game I only have the core set but just that is really fun
This will be GREAT!
I hope most graphics will be Dark Sorceress level, rather than this. At least Khaine's wraith has a so much OMG effect that you maybe don't even recognize the picture :P
The Art On These Cards Is Not Good It Looks To Bright And Childish Where As Warhammer Art Should Be Dark Grim And A Bit More Believeable. Its A Shame Cause On Your Other Products Youve Done An Excelent Job.
also.... when is "this spring"?
wow both thoes cards are awesome....
damn... i can see DE and HE entering and wiping the floor with the other 4 factions at the moment!
I have to say that I have been drooling over the prospect of this expansion, Even more so that the Battle Packs. One of the best aspects of this game is how the various factions play so differently. Bring on more factions!!! Has anyone else played using 2 Capitals pushed together for mixed race decks? It helps with loyalty and you still have 1 Kingdom, 1 Quest and an extra long Battlefield. Waiting for Alliance cards to turn up is frustrating. Cheers!
I hope the rulebook embodied within this deluxe pack will detail what "units that participated in combat" exhaustively mean (i.e. does a Chosen of Tzeentch that didn't defend but used his action during a combat is "participating" or not ? )
Very nice card effects BTW. The loyalty cost of the High Elf one definately makes it a great card for any Order deck : I can't remember how many times I "lose" a turn to burn a section with only 1 or 2 HP remaining.
Mig el Pig: Thanks for taking the time to write about the background history of the two races. That was very informative. After playing the game, I got very interested in the Warhammer setting. I'm even planning on reading some of the Warhammer Fantasy novels.
Does anyone know if Malekith will make an appearance in the Dark Elf deck ?
Anyway, I think the game is great and I'm looking forward for the expansion!
meggypegs and robro, High Elves are Order, Dark Elves are Destruction. This box has decks and capital boards for both to help flesh them out as factions fully, they are currently getting some support in the BP's and the Core set but this will make them both playable just like the core set decks with a prebuilt deck for each race, making each side have three full races each with their own 40 card decks.
Their history is actually quite complicated,
The dark elves(also called Druchii) originally hail from the Ulthuan (High elf Continent) northern province of Nagarythe.
One of those Nagarythe called Aenarion became the first Phoenix King of all the elves. He and his people fought fiercely against Chaos in a long war until he eventually disappeared after being wounded in a great battle. (the elves did manage to 'limit' the chaos power to the poles) His son Malekith got bypassed as the next Phoenix King when the princes of the other provines elected one of their own, Bel Shanaar, as Phoenix King.
Malekith became a great general and his wars against the Orcs and Chaos increased the borders of the elven empire. Many new colonies were founded abroad from Ulthuan. He even founded an alliance between the dwarves and the elves, the 2 mightiest empires at the time, against Chaos (and Orcs)
Eventually Malekith accused Bel Shanaar of being a Slaanesh (one of the Chaos gods) cultist, Bel Shanaar got killed and Malekith was horribly disfigured by the Flames of Asuryan, a sacred ritual every Phoenix King had pass. He claimed that he was cursed by his opponents and after being nurtured back to health by his mother he rallied his people to his cause. A great civil war swept over Ulthuan but even the battlehardened Nagarythe could not defeat the rest of Ulthuan. In the end their sorcerers used dark magics to try end bend chaos to their will and destroy their opponents but their homeland got wrecked by the forces they unleashed and they had to flee. (in style though since they lifted their cities and used them as floating fortresses.
They inhabited a land north of Ulthuan and became the Dark Elves with Malekith as the Witch King. The High elves ended up in a war with the Dwarves (instigated by Dark Elf raids) which they lost. After which Malekith tried his first invasion of Ulthuan. He didn't succeed but the High elves had to abandon many of their colonies due to the civil war, the war against the dwarves and the raids and invasion of the Dark elves. The elves that got left behind in the oldworld (empire, kislev, bretonia,...) became the Wood Elves (also known as Asur)

Some of you may remember CB (citizen band) radios. You may have had one in your car or truck to communicate with other motorists.
"Hey good buddy, what's your 20?"
Yes, I had one in my 1973 Monte Carlo. My dad, Cliff, bought it for me. He was an early adopter, installing one in his Buick almost as soon as people started using them. His handle (radio name for you younger readers) was "Class Clown." Mine was "Yabba Dabba Do."
(OK, laugh if you want to. Let's see who's laughing when leisure suits come back in style.)
Mobile communication is light-years advanced from those almost forgotten relics. We now communicate and instantaneously access information with smartphones and iPads. These technologies and the ever-expanding universe of social media are changing our lives and the way we engage prospects and customers.
Even so, it may be that we haven't seen anything yet - at least regarding how mobile communication and instant access to information are merging with social media to shape commerce. As business people we better be paying attention.
For example, this past February, Facebook CTO Bret Taylor announced Facebook is working on mobile payment applications (apps) to facilitate mobile/social commerce. Significant? As of this past February there were 845 million Facebook users. The figure is expected to top 1 billion by August.
Max Clark, VP of business development of Vitrue, shared other significant mobile trends during a recent Internet presentation that I attended. Vitrue is a New York-based social technology provider. The name of the presentation was "How Mobile Changes Social. Marketing Effectively to Mobile-Social Consumers."
Some of Clark's other observations during the presentation included:
To date, the most popular Internet destinations by mobile users are games at 67 percent of users, with shopping/retail seventh on the list at 28 percent. Considering the hundreds of millions of mobile device users, 28 percent still represents a huge number of consumers. The difference between these percentages will likely become closer as young adults start families and get farther into their careers.
What's not expected to change is their acceptance of and reliance upon social media, just one manifestation of their on-the-go lifestyles. It's clear that service providers like us will have to learn how to better drive conversation and incite action via the Internet and using social media.
In an unrelated matter, credit goes to sister publication American Nurseryman for the fine "Alternatives to Ash" article in Turf's March issue. Thanks AN!
He was a very large young man. I guessed him to be about 20 years old, maybe 6 foot 4 inches and somewhere north of 250 pounds. He was impossible to ignore as he lugged a bulging army surplus duffle toward the rear of the airplane.
If you've flown recently you can imagine what all of us already-seated passengers were thinking. For heaven's sake, no not here.
Shrugging his shoulders apologetically, his young round face offering a sheepish friendly grin, he wedged himself into the seat beside mine.
After settling in and easing down the armrest separating our smallish seats, he fished his iPhone out of a shirt pocket. Until the flight attendant requested we turn off our electronic devices the trigger finger on his huge right hand scrolled and poked the device. Not for an instant did he take his eyes off the device's tiny screen.
Watching that young man so connected to the world with his smartphone reminded me of the huge transformational shifts - generational and technological - constantly redefining our society.
As the airplane whisked us toward our destination 600 miles away, I let my mind play with these interconnected threads. What will it mean to our green industry businesses three, five or perhaps 10 years into the future?
When we landed in Detroit I still wasn't satisfied I had drawn any firm conclusions other than we as an industry need to learn how to connect with and serve the rapidly expanding universe of mobilely engaged consumers. They're our future.

it makes me sick when i hear of dog breeders that don't take care of their animals,breed them too often starve them,keep them in cages with no fresh air or light,etc. just for profit.Why don't they make laws for breeders? they make laws for everything else.i wish they would put the breeders in the same conditions they put the dogs in. ralfsmom |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are laws. The problem is money required to enforce those laws. When people police are in short supply, animal police funds are lucky to be available at all. Want to make a difference? Find those disreputable breeders and turn them into the authorities. I am not advocating being a vigilante---no skulking on provate property filming or picture taking. Just talk to everyone and anyone to find out info---and turn that info in to the proper department in local government. |

As silly as it sounds, right now is the first time we can officially say words like "Haswell" and "Z87". Due to the general way an Intel NDA works, our ability to release specific names when it comes to upcoming platforms is rather limited. While anyone who pays just the slightest attention to computers would know that "Intel 4th Generation Core processors" indeed referred to "Haswell", till now, we couldn't officially write that in coverage.
You're going to see an absolute ton of coverage to the new platform as it brings with it so many new products. Unlike the last Intel CPU we looked at, the Intel Core i7 3970X Extreme Edition, the Core i7 4770K brings with it a new chipset in the form of the Z87 Express. The products that surround a new chipset are what are going to keep us extremely busy for the coming weeks and months.
It of course starts with new motherboards from the huge amount of vendors that exist. It's not just a matter of receiving a single motherboard from each vendor, we have up to nine motherboards from a single vendor at the moment. Weeks before launch the amount of motherboards we had already sat in double digits, and as the days go on the amount of boards we have to test is climbing at a rapid rate.
It's not just motherboards, though, a new platform often brings with it new memory. We saw the last generation Ivy Bridge platform bring with it a chance to achieve memory speeds much higher than we had seen before. The latest Haswell platform is said to take that a step further and that of course means that Corsair, G.Skill and others are jumping on the high speed memory bandwagon as quickly as they can.
We've then of course got multiple CPU models coming out for the desktop platform along with mobile versions of everything. Combining all this together means that we've then got a bunch of new systems coming from PC builders and of course laptops and ultrabooks coming from manufacturers.
Today, though, is all about two things. The new CPU's that we'll be seeing alongside the performance of the top dog Core i7 4770K. The second is the new Intel Z87 chipset. The particular Z87 motherboard that we'll be using today comes from ASUS in the form of the Z87-Expert.

Orchidnick how many orchids do you have in your collection? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Great question Bea! Nick has such a beautiful and extensive collection of orchids. Allymarie |
- Posted by orchidnick z9Ca (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, May 25, 14 at 19:51
My collection increased in waves. Initially a nice red one, yeah how about a nice yellow one. This led to a lot of Cattleya hybrids and Cymbidiums. All others from those days (circa 1995) want to orchid heaven. Then I discovered the orchid shows and places like SBOE and Notman's. I had an office close to Normans. Some of these acquisitions I still have. Then came an office in Chula Vista (close to Mexico south of San Diego) which I visited once a week. On the way home I crossed Andy's palm with some cash and added some nice species on a weekly basis. Soon after that however I got a little ill and also moved. Between these two issues I lost a lot of these 'early' species. 10 years go I had an operation and a few other adjustments which made everything well and that's when the real collection started. By then I knew what I was doing and had a greenhouse. Initially heavy emphasis on Australian Dendrobiums all of which survived and whose only fault is that they are getting to damn big. Also a lot of Kawamoto's catt hybrids as my daughters begged me for these, to this day they can't get enough of them. Even though they were appreciated by my daughters, I got rid of most of the 100 odd Cymbidiums which were taking up too much space about 3 years ago. 5 to 6 years ago, I built the cold greenhouse and the modern day collection took shape. Cloud forest plants, Coelogynes, Maxillarias and other species in the cool house, Bulbophyllums, Dendrobiums and other species in the warm house Terrestrials the last 3 years with heavy emphasis on Cypripediums and American terrestrials. I have never counted them but I have a catalogue which has 37 entries (average of the first 4 pages) on a total of 54 pages. Comes to around 2000 which is what my guess would have been. I don't consider that a huge number, I know a number of people who have way more than that. How easy is it to look after that many? Every second day 2 hours is all I need to keep things rolling. The trick is to treat everyone in a certain area the same. In the cold house that means that everyone gets watered with RO water at least every 2 days. If a plant does not find that suitable, it will regress and either end up on the raffle or silent auction table or die. I neither have the time nor the inclination to provide special care, they either sink or swim. No regrets on the sinkers, just enjoy the swimmers. When I buy plants I try to keep in mind what conditions they'll get and make appropriate purchases. Also I don't have much of a potting bench as most of my potted plants are grown in such a way that they do not need repotting. The ones in Sphagnum moss are the exception, when I decide it's time to give them new moss, it may take me a week of steady work to remoss them all. Now that we have Orchiata which lasts up to 5 years, many of these are going to go into a small orchiata/moss/lava rock mix which should work like SM. Nick |

Rebecca Eaton
AGE: 64. last year's ranking: New. STAGE OF GLOBAL CONQUEST: Great reviews and solid ratings have been the norm during Eaton's 27-year tenure at the helm of both Mystery! and Masterpiece, but with Downton Abbey she has given the newly glamorous PBS its most talked-about show since the early 1990s. Eaton initially passed on the series because she didn't think American viewers would be interested in another Upstairs, Downstairs. But when Maggie Smith was cast, Eaton jumped on board. Downton Abbey attracted 17 million viewers in its second season, and Sherlock, the Masterpiece detective series that also came back for its second season, looks like another ratings hit. ZOMBIE IN THE CLOSET: Eaton's mother was a stage and screen actress whose credits included the 1945 horror classic Isle of the Dead, with Boris Karloff. THE LONG ROAD: Though Eaton, who has been the Masterpiece executive producer since 1985, is known for bringing idealized depictions of English country life to American television sets, she's actually from Pasadena, California. She started her career at PBS as a producer for the rollicking 1970s children's show Zoom. CONTROVERSIAL STROKE OF GENIUS: Cutting the "Theatre" from Masterpiece, scrapping the old theme music, and hiring a youthful non-Brit—former X-Files star Gillian Anderson (who's since been replaced by highbrow darling Laura Linney)—as host. Her 2008 rebranding made the 40-year-old series seem less stuffy—and helped pave the way for the mass appeal of Downton Abbey. YEAR AHEAD: ↑
ALEC BALDWIN, SETH MacFARLANE, ROGER AILES, GEORGE CLOONEY, REBECCA EATON, JON STEWART AND STEPHEN COLBERT have all won Emmys.

"Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe"
"And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, …..
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be. "
"I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps "
"Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.
Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Stick around, and it may show,
But I don't know, I don't know.
Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me.
I don't want to leave her now.
You know I believe and how"
"There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more "
"You are me and we are all together"
-I am the walrus
"And in the end,
the love you take,
is equal to the love you make"
-The End
"take these broken wings and learn to fly"
"all you need is love"
"living is easy with eyes closed
misunderstanding all you see
it's getting hard to be someone
but it all works out
it doesn't matter much to me"
-strawberry fields forever
And that's just out of a few of their "popular" songs…

Known for spacious Spanish-style terrace houses and academically-strong James Madison High School, the southeast Brooklyn enclave of Madison offers a wide variety of homes and a thriving community set away from the subway system.
The neighborhood spans from Kings Highway to the north to Avenue U to the south and from Nostrand Avenue to the east to Ocean Avenue to the west. Madison is part of Brooklyn Community District 15.
The Madison area remained undeveloped longer than much of Brooklyn, with the first farm only sold for development in 1877. Development was accelerated by the neighborhood's proximity to the Sheepshead Bay racetrack. Irish and Italians were the first tomove in, but newer immigrants to Madison include Asians, Russians and Orthodox Jews.
Madison has a wide variety of housing, from grand four-bedroom stucco homes on large lots with paned glass and wood detail to detached and attached one- and two-family homes-some with yards and driveways. Roomy one-bedroom co-ops in six-story elevator buildings are found primarily on Nostrand and Ocean Avenues.
In addition to the big dailies, check out The Home Reporter and The Spectator, local Brooklyn papers, and The Homefinder, which is distributed in local supermarkets and bank branches. Another potential source of information are the privately-run real estate websites, such as Real Estate Español, Realty Times, Realtor.com or HomeStore.

Positive thinking
Of course it's good to think positively. That alone makes you feel better, and gives you a feeling of hope instead of a feeling of desperation. Positive thinking can help you through the day. But stating that thinking positively and repeating affirmations infinitely would actually be able to remedy whatever and even the most desperate circumstances, that is over the top.
In the view of Linda Evans, who developed the NPL technique, a negative situation results from a pattern surrounding a person in the form of matter.
If you want to eliminate a complaint for ever or reverse a negative situation, this can only be done by destroying the pattern responsible for it. Since behaviour and life circumstances are controlled by subconscious patterns or programs, and not by positive or negative thoughts.
With positive thinking, visualizing and repeating affirmations the subconscious patterns remain present in the subconscious mind. Someone may possibly succeed in deactivating some patterns (temporarily), this means calming them down. But eventually the pattern will reemerge, and most patterns may not even be deactivated by positive thinking.
You may be really convinced of the value of positive thinking and you may hold on to it and you it may comfort you. That's ok, one has a right to his opinion. But perhaps you may meanwhile have experienced that in spite of the promising propositions of positive thinking and visualizing and repeating affirmations (if you keep on affirming, you may change whatever) It hasn't got you very far.
In this last case you may possibly be interested in reading about the NPL healing theory.

You may be wondering why I haven't posted my sewing cabinet reveal yet, so I am here to update you on my progress. I know I had promised to share my finished cabinet with you early this week, but it is taking me a little longer than I had anticipated to finish it. There are so many little nooks and crannies on this piece to paint and I paint everything by hand! This is one of those times where a paint sprayer would really come in handy. I may have to break down and buy one some day. Work smarter, right?
Also, my family and I were away this past weekend so I wasn't able to get into the garage to paint and because I work full-time during the day, I only have about an hour or two each day to work on my painting projects between running after my kids and the mountains of laundry. I am so behind on my projects this week, but I am sure you can relate in one way or another!
Anyway, I should have my sewing cabinet all finished and ready to show you in the next day or two. In the meantime, I thought I would leave you with a sneak peek of my cabinet as it was yesterday; all painted and ready for distressing, glazing and topcoating.
The color looks so vibrant here, doesn't it? It is actually a light turquoise in real life! What do you think?
I am so excited to share its transformation with you soon! I hope you will like it.
Updated: Please click HERE to see the final reveal of my sewing cabinet.
On another note, one evening last week when it was cold and rainy outside I kept myself busy making these amazing tags from Lilac & Lavender.
I found Megan and her blog while on Pinterest one day. Let me tell you it was love a first sight. I can't believe all of the wonderful free printables that she has on her blog. Thanks so much for sharing these with us Megan!
I printed out these gift tags on white letter size cardstock on my color laser printer. They printed out beautifully and they look as if they are professionally printed. Megan's tags are such great quality.
To cut out the tags, I used my small Fisker's paper trimmer. This took me only about 5-10 minutes. I then used my small hole punch to make holes in the top of each tag and I finished them off by threading lengths of thin twine through them. I found the twine at the Dollar Store. It was actually a part of a children's necklace making kit.
Click on the tag name above the photos to find the gift tags that I have shared in this post.
This one below is my favorite!
Aren't they sweet? These would look gorgeous on a gift or they could used as sales tags for those of you selling your handmade items. You could also frame these tags as works of art, use them in your craft projects or use them in your photo transferring projects.
For more eye candy and an abundance of free printables, please stop by Megan's blog and say "hi!". I am sure that you too will be amazed by all of the wonderful printables that she has on her blog. http://lilac-n-lavender.blogspot.ca/
Until next time,
Don't miss a post on thrifty transformations, crafts, DIY projects and more!

Just stopped by Costco in Kansas City today. They had different types of Peonies packaged up for about $13-$14.
You could choose:
However, some of them were already sending up shoots in their packaged bag with some small leaves on the end. I couldn't see the root system of all the peonies, but some of them were the same size as what I ordered from Gilbert H. Wild. If you do buy any of these from Costco or another box retailer, select the heavier package as the root systems are probably in better shape than others. 4-6 roots for $14, not bad, if you don't mind planting in spring and being patient for blooms/healthy growth. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The package with the Bowl of Beauty I think is the best on your list. I buy them regularly when I find those I don't already have. Pot them up in one gallon pots now and plant in the garden in the fall. It takes 3 years for first really good blooms, but I seldom lose a plant. Al |

Semya Pualo |
I want to share a secret today with you, when I have planned to make this dish for Office Potluck, I don't have time to go to Indian Store and get the Semya. Usually My pantry will be full with semya but with our recent move, i did not stock up any indian staples yet. I was browsing in the international aisle in the walmart, and come across this mexican fideos which almost resemble like semya (vermicelli). they are little thicker than semya though. Today I have made this dish with my interest finding... it came out as superb as if i have made this with real semya.
Mexican Fideos |
So, don't be panic when you don't have semya handy, if you can run to any super market near by and get this. I know my foreign readers can take super advantage of this tip. :-)
will meet you here with another great recipe..

i've tried to search "primer" unsucessfully, even tho primer is shown in the title under the latest posts in paint catagory. i'm looking for the best drywall primer for our new home. any suggestions on how to find these posts? is it possible the search feature is not working (correctly)? thx |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know why this got bumped to the top suddenly. OP is probably long-finished with his painting. Zinsser Bullseye 123 is one good "all-around" primer, though PVA Drywall primer is generally less expensive and intended for new drywall. The Gardenweb search feature is inefficient. Use Google and search with gardenweb as one of your search terms. |
- Posted by Jumpilotmdm (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 12 at 20:44
Before Pratt & Lambert was bought by SW they had a primer called Suprime 4, a very good drywall primer. See if they still make the stuff, if there is a P&L dealer around? |

One of my hobbies is cosplaying and if it is feasible, minus the needlework, I make the props and other parts of my costumes like weapons, gadgets and the like.
This is the first tutorial that I'll be posting in my blog. This is a very quick and easy tutorial on how to make a superhero mask. In my case I made Robin's mask for my Damian Wayne costume.
This may or may not work for you, if not I hope it can give ideas on how you can create your own masks using available materials you can buy near your area or even stuff around the house. Here we go.
I. Materials (I'm using local prices here in the Philippines and just making an estimate in USD. The prices may be different in your area or country):
- Scissors – Average size but the bigger and sharper the better.
- Spray Paint (Php 90–120 or $2-3) – select the color that you would want to use. In my case grass green was the closest to Robin's mask. One can is more than enough for a couple of masks.
- Pencil – for the drawing patterns. You can use other writing materials but this is better because it leaves a visible mark and you can easily erase it if you make mistakes.
- Mask pattern – You can get lots of pattern over the internet or even make one of your own. Or by copying the mask of the character that you want. I included a sample pattern I created which you can download (link in the instructions below) for your reference. It's a PNG file, just resize it to fit your need.
- Sand paper (Php 5-10 or 25-50 cents) – you'll only need a small portion of the paper.
- Opera type mask (Php 50–250 or $1-5) – I'm not sure if this is what you call them but that is what I think it is. Where I got it from, just says mask though. This is the main/important component and this is what makes the whole build easy. A whole or half face mask usually made from a cross between plastic and cardboard, so it is very durable and flexible. Mine has a thin fabric type cover as well. They have a standard size but stores may have different sizes. These are really cheap, if you would notice the gap with the price range is a bit big since it really depends on where you will buy it. If your budget allows you, get at least two so you can test out different patterns or if you make a mistake. You can get these kinds of masks in magic shops, party needs shops, book stores, or costume shops.
- Straps – Normally these are included with the actual mask that you will get. If you don't want them or if you want a different one you can replace them.
II. Procedure:
1. Draw or print out your mask pattern on a paper, which is adjusted to the size of the mask and cut the outline. You don't need to cut the eyeholes on the pattern since the opera mask already has them. You may need to resize or adjust a couple of times to make it fit to the mask or your face. There are two mask patterns I made, the one seen here that looks like a cross between Damian's Robin mask and Nightwing's mask and the second one is the original Damian Robin mask.
(Dowload the sample patterns HERE)
2. Get the opera type mask. The great thing about the mask is that it has the shape of a face already which is hard to do from scratch or without molding or rubber latex. Doing it with just a regular pattern will leave it flat.
Remove the straps for the time being. Now, place the Pattern on the opera type mask and draw the outline on the mask itself with a pencil or any marker. I directly drew the outline on the opera mask since I remember the pattern I liked. I added a point above the nose bridge since I like a Nightwing touch on my mask as well. Again it is better to use pencil since it is easier to adjust and erase.
3. Once the pattern is drawn check the proportions and make the necessary adjustments. Then all you need to do is cut the outline.
4. You will now have a super hero looking mask. Fit it and again make the necessary adjustments and cut them.
5. There will be parts and edges of the mask that will feel sharp due to the cutting. All you need to do is feel where they are while wearing or touching them and sand the parts as long as needed.
6. From here on you just need to paint the mask. It would be better to coat it with primer paint if you have one or if you have extra budget. Then coat with the main color. This would make the color stand out and make it last longer.
In my mask I just painted it directly with the green spray paint. To make better results try to make a thin initial coat and let it dry and then add a second or third coat if needed.
7. Wear your mask along with your costume and be the superhero your city deserves! Boom! Pow! Bam! Kapow!
III. The Mask In Action:

Item number 7 is a figure of speech. The mask will help make you "LOOK" like a superhero but it won't actually make you a real one. Well not instantly, lol. So please put them to good and responsible use. Don't go fighting crime all by yourself. Don't go on punching and kicking people you think are villains. If you see something wrong or ongoing crime, contact the proper authorities. Please don't get shot.

where can I find deodorant for 7 year olds. My gran daughter gets a little musty when she go out and play. |

Hi, One of the best products I have found for a deodorant product that would be good for anyone including your little one is something called ProSeed Anti-fungal foot powder. It may also be listed as Seed A Sept. I know that sounds like a strange thing to use, but the package information says it also makes an excellent anti-fungal body powder. It is an all natural product, with the main ingredients being grapfruit seed extract; which is an anti bacterial, and slippery elm; which I understand to be an absorber of moisture. I really prefer to use this over any of the commercial products, since it doesn't or hasn't caused any irritation like the aluminum based products do. It's a little expensive, but I think it is worth it. Go to www.imhotepinc.com for more information, and please post back here to give us your feedback since I'd like to see some other opinions on it. |

rabbit - A quick shower is all kids need. |
Gooseberry, I just went to website you recommended. I never heard of this company, but I think I will try the foot powder for my feet. They itch a lot when I wear black socks in my boots. Thanks for the help. |

rabbit, Post back when you get it, I'd like your opinion of it. GG |
I will. |

Lazygardens, I totally agree! |
And clean clothes! Linda C |
Quite a few children have a funky musty odor. I had one son that I swear was born smelling stinky. One reason can be that she is not drinking enough fluids to washing out waste products in her urine and it comes out in her sweat. Encourage her to drink more water. There is a deodorant powder...."Shower to Shower" that uses baking soda. It is quite good and it doesn't put any chemical anti-persperants on her skin. But the most important is daily baths and clean clothes. With little girls that age, it's also a chance that she's not wiping herself when she used the toilet. |

go organic. eat organic buy organic and get clean with simple baths- dont use heavy chems on kids. the body skin is an organ, treat it with respect, allow it to not get poisoned with all these commerical products that in the wild would kill most other animals. And people are of the animal kingdom and need to get back to basics sometimes to stay balanced. The food one eats is about most of the problem. Go organic and save her life instead of feeding her food processed with cides and presevatives. |
I am with the bath and clean clothes crowd. Children don't need deodorants, powder or otherwise until puberty. If she's playing hard enough to get a little musty, that is a good thing. Maybe it is the detergent or fabric softener reacting with her skin. The perfumes in them can smell differently on peolple, just like regular perfume can smell wonderful on some and stink on others. |
I tackle the musty smell in DD's school clothes by using white vinegar as fabric softener, and using only the recommended amount of detergent to launder the clothes. If you use too much detergent the water will never rinse clean. Also the vineger ensures that the soiled smell and soap gets completely rinsed clean. |
Kids should start using deodorant whenever they need to. However, be very careful about the deodorant you choose. Find a deodorant that has no Aluminum, Parabens, or Propylene Glycol. I have found Junior Varsity's Kids Deodorant to be a great option. You can visit their site at www.jvdeodorant.com. |

Our Group can trace its origins back to January 1997, entered into a joint venture through the investment holding companies, Motif Etika Sdn Bhd ("Motif Etika") and Jasnida Sdn Bhd ("Jasnida"), to engage in the manufacturing and distribution of milk products in Malaysia.
Clarity Valley Sdn Bhd ("Clarity Valley") which was initially incorporated on 22 March 1996, was used as the joint venture vehicle to engage in what is now our principal business. In October 1996, Clarity Valley acquired a parcel of land of approximately 348,916 sq ft, at the newly developed in industrial park at Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia to build EDSB's first condensed milk production factory.
On 25 January 1997, we changed our name from Clarity Valley to Etika Dairies Sdn Bhd, to associate the Company with the Group identity of Motif Etika and to reflect the Company's principal business of manufacturing and distributing milk products which mainly comprise sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and complementary products such as the repacking and distribution of full cream and instant high calcium non-fat milk powder, instant coffee powder and tea dust.
The factory was completed in December 1998 and the installation of a modern and fully automated sweetened condensed milk production line was commissioned in February 1999. Its current workforce stands at approximately 370 headcount.
Our Founding Members were desirous to create and develop a premium brand that would be easily identifiable within the domestic market and compete effectively with the existing brands of multinational companies on a regional and international level. With this in mind, we unveiled "DAIRY CHAMP" as our trademark brand on 1 March 1999. "DAIRY CHAMP" is now a household brand name which is readily identifiable by our distinctive logo of a champion's trophy.
