In the industrial world, process alarm systems affect the bottom line. Well-functioning alarms can help a process run closer to its ideal operating point, enabling higher yields, lower production costs and improved quality, all of which add up to greater profits.
At many other facilities, however, there is no formal strategy for managing alarm performance. These sites are confident their alarm systems are in order and assets are fully protected - failing to recognize the potential for failures.
A lack of effective alarm management can result in billions of dollars lost every year to accidents, equipment damage, unplanned plant or unit outages, off-spec production, regulatory fines, and huge intangible costs related to environmental and safety infractions.
Employers, irrespective of the size of their business, have responsibility for the day-to-day health, safety and welfare of employees and visitors to the workplace. This duty of care is usually set out in the occupational health and safety (OH&S) legislation of the relevant country.
Companies, as well as individuals from the supervisor to CEO level, have been legally prosecuted for breaches in OH&S regulations. Duty of care typically mandates that employers in automated industries provide a suitable alarm system that gives adequate warning of impending abnormal situations to operators so they have time to take action to prevent upsets or incidents from occurring. Duty of care also includes the provision of an appropriate control system for manufacturing facilities.
In principle, the distributed control system (DCS) alarm system is a vital, productive tool for managing industrial processes, which can be configured to identify and notify personnel of a wide variety of abnormal conditions in plant operation. Alarms provide a unique layer of protection against scenarios impacting safety, the environment or financial loss. They combine the flexibility and adaptability of the plant operator with the power of technology.
However, in practice, poor initial design and lack of effective alarm management often result in alarm systems that are not "fit for purpose."
At many industrial facilities, alarm systems do not receive the attention and resources they deserve. This is understandable, because alarming appears to be a deceptively simple activity. Facilities often retain the alarm design philosophy developed by the engineering firm at the time of their original construction (see Fig. 1).
(Figure 1) At many industrial facilities, alarm systems do not receive the attention and resources they deserve.
Justifying the cost of a comprehensive alarm management program can be a difficult task. Operations and engineering realize alarm system performance is a serious issue, but may have trouble convincing senior level plant management that they should invest in an advanced alarm technology.
Alarm management is one of those areas where financial returns aren't immediately apparent. The return is on the avoidance of a production loss which is achieved by properly designed alarms. It's a concept often overlooked at the expense of other higher profile improvement programs. Why? Financial resources may be limited. On paper, process optimization and performance monitoring yield a better financial gain. There is also a common lack of understanding on what alarm management is.
At complex processing plants, there are many potential repercussions from disregarding alarm management. These can range from process upsets (i.e., downtime/loss of production) and plant shutdowns, to loss of containment and catastrophic failure.
Abnormal situations cost industry billions of dollars every year. A number of plant incidents partly attributed to alarm management issues have tragically resulted in injury and death of personnel and huge financial losses.
At BP's Texas City, Texas, refinery, for example, key level alarms failed to notify operators of the unsafe and abnormal conditions that existed within the tower and blowdown drum. The resulting explosion and fire killed 15 people and injured 170 more.
The tank overflow and resultant fire at the Buncefield oil depot in the UK caused a £1 billion (1.6 billion USD) loss. The incident could have been prevented if the tank's high-level safety switch, per design, had notified the operator of the unsafe tank condition or had automatically shut off the incoming flow.
At the Bayer facility in Institute, WV, improper procedures, worker fatigue and lack of operator training on a new control system led to a residue treater overcharging with Methomyl - resulting in an explosion and chemical release.
Several institutions and societies have produced standards on alarm management to assist in the best practice use of alarms in industrial manufacturing systems. Among them are the UK-based Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA), and the US-based American National Standards Institute (ANSI), International Society of Automation (ISA) and American Petroleum Institute (API).
EEMUA Publication 191 ("Alarm Systems – A Guide to Design, Management, and Procurement") was first released in 1999 and is acknowledged as the de-facto industry standard for alarm management (a second edition was released in 2007, the third release September 2013). This standard provides a detailed description of the tools and techniques for various aspects of alarm management (e.g., rationalization, risk assessments and graphics design).
ISA and ANSI approved ANSI/ISA-18.2-2009 ("Management of Alarm Systems for the Process Industries") in June 2009 to specify an overall lifecycle approach to alarm management. ISA-18.2 has many similarities to the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) standard IEC 61508/11.
Both of these publications have similar key performance indicators (KPIs) for alarm system performance. So how can process plants ensure their compliance with the standards and avoid the likelihood of alarm-related failures or incidents?
The first step in addressing a lack of alarm management is to understand the relevant issues and acknowledge where problems exist. This requires a thorough assessment of alarm performance, which can help determine alarm requirements to minimize risk potential.
In alarm system assessments, a tool known as the "Swiss Cheese" model of accident causation is commonly used for risk analysis and management. Originally developed by Dante Orlandella and James T. Reason of the University of Manchester, it is sometimes called the cumulative act effect.
With the Swiss Cheese model, an organization's defenses against failure are modeled as a series of barriers, depicted as slices of cheese. The holes in the slices represent weaknesses in individual parts of the system and are continually varying in size and position across the slices. The system produces failures when a hole in each slice momentarily aligns, so that a hazard passes through holes in all of the slices, leading to a failure (see Fig. 2)
(Figure 2) In alarm system assessments, a tool known as the "Swiss Cheese" model of accident causation is commonly used for risk analysis and management.
The Swiss Cheese model includes both active and latent failures. Active failures encompass unsafe acts directly linked to an accident, such as (in the case of plant accidents) operator error. Latent failures include contributory factors that may lie dormant for days, weeks or months until they contribute to the accident.
Here is an example of a true incident analyzed with the Swiss Cheese risk model:
1) Plant operation is relatively unstable towards the end of a 12-hour shift (operational factor) 2) Tank containing hot material reaches high-high level (process factor) 3) High-high level DCS pump interlock was disabled to replace an instrument, but had not been re-enabled (management of change factor) 4) Control room operators miss the alarm because they are overloaded and distracted by an alarm flood (alarm management factor) 5) Safety level switches in the safety integrity level (SIL) loop for tripping the incoming pump power supply have not been tested for over two years and fail to operate (maintenance factor) 6) Tank overflows with workers in close vicinity (incident result)
Based on real-world experience across the process industries, it is obvious the lack of an effective alarm management strategy has a direct negative impact on plant operations, performance, profitability, and safety.
Figure 3. Alarm management should be a comprehensive process employing the concept of layers of protection.
Quite simply, some plants do not take alarm management seriously. It is not unusual for facilities to address the performance of process alarms and then forget about them. This is foolhardy, since plant processes are dynamic and alarm conditions are constantly changing.
All too often, the ownership of an alarm management program resides with the control system department, and not with the operations manager where it belongs. This is because alarms that are flooding or not annunciating correctly are typically viewed as a control or instrumentation problem.
Operations personnel need to realize the process control system belongs to them and how it functions is determined by their requirements. The DCS group can make required changes to the alarm system, but it must be driven by operations. The alarm is a tool used by the operator; thus, it is in the operator's best interest for this tool to function correctly and meet the operator's specifications..
Alarm management is a comprehensive process by which alarms are engineered, monitored and managed to ensure safe, reliable operations. At the heart of this process is the concept of layers of protection, which provides independent layers of protection around hazardous processes to reduce the risk of undesired consequences such as fire, toxic releases, etc. Alarms are considered to be a layer of protection (LOP) and are often used in SIL analysis (see Fig. 3).
(Figure 4) Some automation system suppliers conduct workshops at customer sites to help make alarm management efforts more fruitful.
Education is the best remedy for improving - and maintaining - alarm system performance. Personnel across all areas of plant operation, including control room operators, field operators, process engineers and instrument technicians, should be instructed in proper alarm management and then buy into the program. This is a proactive approach to alarms.
Some automation system suppliers conduct workshops at customer sites to help make alarm management efforts more fruitful. This training can begin with a general orientation for all plant stakeholders, followed by specific instruction according to job function using approved alarm philosophy documents. The workshop is a valuable tool for helping workers understand how they are expected to engineer, manage and maintain their alarm system (see Fig. 4).
Alarm management is imperative to assessing, improving and optimizing process alarms, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the plant. Without an effective alarm program in place, nuisance alarms, alarm floods and improperly prioritized alarms can lead to operator confusion, and thus increase the risk of accidents.
However, it is important to remember that alarm management is not a one-time project; it is a re-design/re-engineering and a lifecycle process. All new alarms are designed on how they fit into the process and the benefit they give the operator. Therefore, the performance of the alarm system is continuously being improved and optimized.

Yes, um, I actually made this quite some time ago, but seeing as I've been afflicted with that horrible Lazy Syndrome, I'm only getting around to it now. Many, many moons ago, Jessy from the oh so awesome blog, Happy Vegan Face, posted about a Shepherd's Pie recip e she had made.
I'd never had Shepherd's Pie before vegetarian or otherwise, but who doesn't like mashed potatoes, veggies, and beans? Why not put them together? I know! Great idea! So I decided to make up my own recipe based on what I had around and it was pretty darn good. I think I'm going to try using green lentils in place of beans next time I make this. Black Bean Shepherd's Pie The Taters4 russet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed (leave the skins on for some excellent fiber!) 2 cloves of garlic, peeled 1/2 cup milk 2-3 tbsp butter or Earth Balance 1/2 cup gouda or non-dairy cheese shreds salt Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes and garlic. Boil until potatoes are tender and drain. Combine all the ingredients with a mixer or potato masher, seasoning with salt to taste. Rest of the Stuff2 tbsp safflower oil 6 carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2 onion, chopped 1 cup sweet corn 1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped 5 cloves of garlic, minced 1 small can tomato sauce 2 cups black beans Preheat oven to 350. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the veggies and cook for 10-15 minutes or until soft. Add the tomato sauce and black beans and cook until heated through. In an 8x8 pan, spread the bean/veggie mixture and top with the potatoes. Place, uncovered, in the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until top is nice and golden. Enjoy! Yum, just posting about it makes me want this again, it was hearty, filling, and super tasty. I just wish I had had some green beans or peas to add to the mix. Or broccoli like Jessy used. Mmmmmm, green veggies... So, in some exciting but completely off topic news - Brett and I are getting ready to welcome a new addition to our home. A couple of weeks ago, Brett and I went to St. Louis for the weekend to celebrate (belatedly) the holidays with my parents and brothers. I met my first little nephew - Gabriel - and he seemed as scared of me as I was of him. Perhaps when he is older we will both be more comfortable... Anyway, while we were up there, my parents took our Cocker Spaniel, Sadie, to the vet to have something checked out. While there, they discovered that a kitty had been found very sick in a trash can and was brought to the vet by a daughter of one of the nurses who found him. He was this tiny little orange puff ball who was scared, thin, malnourished, and in need of love and food. Stacey fell in love but was torn - she might have an infant in the house soon and a little kitty and babies don't usually mix. But the kitty was so sweet and unless someone took him, he would be taken to an animal shelter and likely put down because he was a runt and they couldn't guarantee his long-term health. So she asked Brett and I if we might want to take him. Now, as a little aside, I would love to take ALL animals in need of a home. But we cannot. We live in an apartment and are limited in both funds and space, so we can only have so many critters and still be able to provide a good home with plenty of love. There is a shelter here in Columbia called Second Chance . They don't have a facility, rather, all the animals are put in "foster homes" where they live until they are either adopted or, well, they've lived out their days. They are no-kill. I think this is one of the most amazing organizations I've heard of and I would love to be able to help foster one days. Anyway, back on topic. While we can't have all the animals that need a home, the more I got to thinking about it, the more it seemed like we had more than enough room for another kitty. I spoke to Brett about it and he agreed that we could go see the kitty at the vet. He knew (as I did) that as soon as he agreed to go see it, we were going to be adopting the cat, whether it had three legs and one eye, it didn't matter, we were going to give this unwanted kitty a home. So we went to the vet and the nurse brought out this tiny orange fluff ball. He is so cute! He was very shy but took to me instantly. He let me love on him and didn't cower as he usually did. He was just the sweetest little thing. We decided we would call him Peanut Butter (we will call him Butters for short, like South Park :-)) and that he would definitely be welcome in our home. Since he was so thin and was having some problems with his kidneys, they kept him at the vet to fatten him up and get his insides working a little better. Oh, and they are also going to fix him. EEEEEEK! Word from the vet is that he is really coming out of his shell and is starting to play a lot. They think he is 10-11 months old. He will be ready to come home on Saturday and my parents will be bringing him down. We can't wait! Except...we have to introduce a new cat into our home and though I've only had to do it once before, it was not fun and was quite a stressful time. So while we are looking forward to him coming home, we are not looking forward to the introduction process. Yuk. Anyway, that's about all the news I have for now. I'll get some pictures of Butters this weekend and post them for all to see. 'Til next time. |

How to: Lock Controls to Windows Forms
When you design the user interface (UI) of your Windows application, you can lock the controls once they are positioned correctly, so that you do not inadvertently move or resize them when setting other properties.
Additionally, you can lock and unlock all the controls on the form at once, which is helpful for forms with many controls, or you can unlock individual controls. Once you have placed all the controls where you want them on the form, lock them all in place to prevent erroneous movement.
Note |
The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Customizing Development Settings in Visual Studio. |
To lock a control
In the Properties window, click the Locked property and select true. (Double-clicking the name toggles the property setting.)
Alternatively, right-click the control and choose Lock Controls.
Note Locking controls prevents them from being dragged to a new size or location on the design surface. However, you can still change the size or location of controls by means of the Properties window or in code.
To lock all the controls on a form
From the Format menu, choose Lock Controls.
Note This command locks the form's size as well, because a form is a control.
To unlock all locked controls on a form
From the Format menu, choose Lock Controls.
All previously locked controls on the form are now unlocked.
To unlock locked controls individually
In the Properties window, click the Locked property and select false. (Double-clicking the name toggles the property setting.)

Kia wins four 'red dot' awards for its compact models
- New Kia pro_cee'd receives the 'Best of the Best' award
- 'Winner' awards go to the Kia cee'd, the cee'd Sportswagon and the new Kia Carens
(SEOUL) March 12, 2013 – Kia's design team has won four prestigious 'red dot' design awards, including a 'Best of the Best' distinction for the new Kia pro_cee'd in the product design category. The Kia cee'd five-door, cee'd Sportswagon and Carens compact MPV models collected 'Winner' awards.
Along with the iF product design award in November 2012, this is the second prize won by the Kia pro_cee'd before the new model goes on sale later this month. The four 2013 awards bring the total number of Kia's red dot wins to 10 since 2009. Kia's Soul, Venga, Sportage compact SUV and D-segment Kia Optima sedan – the latter was awarded the coveted 'Best of the Best' prize – were followed last year by awards for the five-door Kia Rio B-segment hatch and the A-segment Kia Picanto.
"We are very proud of the 'red dots' that have been awarded to all of the cee'd family, along with the new Carens. And we are especially enthusiastic about the 'Best of the Best' award for the Kia pro_cee'd because, after the Kia Optima, yet another of our vehicles has received the highest honours from the jury," says Peter Schreyer, President and Chief Design Officer of Kia Motors Corporation.
"The fact that our most important compact models have won four prizes is a great acknowledgement of the work of our international design teams. Our cars have now been winning for five years in a row, which once again confirms that we are on the right path with our consistent design strategy."
red dot award: a seal of quality in product design
The Design Centre of North Rhine-Westphalia founded the red dot awards programme in 1955, and it is now one of the most prestigious design contests in the world. The internationally acclaimed seal of quality features 'product design', 'communication design' and 'design concepts and prototypes' categories. This year, 1,865 manufacturers from 54 countries submitted 4,662 products. A 37-strong jury judged the products according to nine criteria, including degree of innovation, clarity of function, formal quality and sustainability. The award presentation will be held at the Aalto-Musiktheater in Essen on 1 July 2013.
The cee'd family and the Carens: attractive choices in the compact class
The cee'd family first launched in Europe in 2007 and is now well-established in the C-segment. The winner of the 2013 red dot 'Best of the Best' award, the three-door Kia pro_cee'd, sports a new athletic look that sets it apart from the five-door cee'd model. It is exceptionally well-specified with a high level of equipment as standard and is offered with two diesel (1.4-litre and 1.6-litre) and two gasoline (1.4-litre and 1.6-litre) engines, with up to 135 bhp and CO2 emissions from under 100 g/km.
The Kia Carens is a new family-friendly compact MPV that builds on the already excellent functionality and flexibility of its predecessor with a new sleek elegance. In both its five and seven-seater configurations, the new Carens offers an impressive specification as standard, including air conditioning, audio system, multifunctional steering wheel, cruise control and LED daytime running lights. The Carens is available with a choice of two gasoline engines (1.6-litre and 2.0-litre) and a 1.7-litre turbodiesel, with performance spanning 135 to 166 bhp and CO2 emissions from 124 g/km.
Every new Kia in Europe – including the pro_cee'd, cee'd, cee'd Sportswagon, and Carens – benefits from the brand's unique 7-Year, 150,000 km warranty.

Turning Leaf Vineyards Riesling
Turning Leaf Vineyards
- California
- United States
Although they originated in Germany's beautiful Rhine Valley, the Riesling grape soon spread around the world, where it thrives in many countries with a colder climate which can support this pale and unique grapes. Riesling grapes are considered one of the finest varietals on earth, capable of expressing fascinating features of the soil type they are grown on, resulting in some highly interesting wines with plenty to offer those who are looking for something different. Riesling grapes are also noted for their aromas, which tend to be highly perfumed, floral and often with smoky notes accentuating their unusual flavor Because this was always the predominant grape grown in Germany and other such countries, Riesling wineries have always been keen to experiment with its range. This has resulted in dry white wines, sparkling wines, semi sweet wines and several others, but the finest examples are usually considered to be the Riesling dessert wines. These are occasionally made with unusual processes, including the 'eiswine' method, in which the grapes are allowed to freeze in the early frosts, or by allowing the development of 'noble rot', which withers the grapes and results in some truly spectacular and unusual flavors.
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

Multi-month campaigns to feature exclusive content.
After more than a year of licensing difficulties and delays, London-based music streaming service Spotify finally launched in the U.S. earlier this month in partnership with major brands including Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, and Motorola.
Having worked closely with Spotify for months prior to the much-anticipated Stateside launch, The Coca-Cola Company's presence on the service is set to escalate over the next few months for both its flagship cola and Sprite brands, the beverage giant's integrated communications director for North America, Linda Cronin, told ClickZ.
Following the initial rollout of the U.S. service, Coca-Cola leveraged its position as Spotify's exclusive non-alcoholic beverage partner to distribute early access invite codes through its websites, and through social channels such as Facebook and Twitter. Cronin described that element of the sponsorship program as key for Coca-Cola, allowing it to offer "value and social currency" to its consumers.
Coca-Cola also hopes Spotify's mobile apps and social media connectivity will let it "engage teens and young adults through one of their top passions," according to Cronin.
In the coming months, Coca-Cola and Sprite will evolve on Spotify, progressing through multiple phases. Beyond the display and audio ads now running, the brands will offer access to exclusive, and perhaps more engaging, content. Current display ads for Sprite simply aim to build Facebook followers, for example. That media could instead be used to promote custom curated playlists, or perhaps content from artists affiliated with Coca-Cola's brands.
Speaking with ClickZ following its U.K launch in 2009, Spotify's U.K. sales director, Jon Mitchell, said it offered the ability to target ads to specific users based on their listening habits and other demographic information. The depth of data remains relatively meager for U.S. users at present, but Cronin said brands have been promised "more opportunities to target relevant messages based on listening habits" as the service's user base continues to grow.
Coca-Cola wouldn't say how it's paying Spotify, but Mitchell told ClickZ that early brand advertisers in the U.K. paid on a run-of-site basis, achieving click-through rates of between 0.7 to 1 percent for audio ads, and upwards of 0.3 percent for display.

It has taken years to find what I consider the perfect cleasner, and I am pleased to say I have found it with Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleansing Pads. The dual textured pads work together perfectly to clean and exfoliate, while giving your skin a clean,tingling feeling afterwards. The soy in the product does indeed help even out skin tone as claimed. Only 28 come in a package, so if used morning and night, the product must be purchased frequently so I buy several at a time in order to always have a cleansing pad on hand. I cannot recommend this product enough - your skin will thank you!

The typical denial-of-service attack involves a larger volume of data than ever before and is therefore much more likely to succeed at disrupting even the most sophisticated networks, according to researchers from Arbor Networks, who report a 78% increase in average bandwidth now used in DoS attacks. Their report also found a fourfold increase this year in the number of attacks exceeding 20 Gbps, with 4% of all DoS attacks exceeding 10 Gbps.

Britney Spears Taking Her New Puppy to the Vet | Pictures
Britney Spears and Her Boys Leave the Vet With a Pink-Cast-Clad Puppy
Britney Spears held her new puppy close as she headed into a pet hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA, yesterday. On the way in, the puppy was wrapped in a blanket and later emerged with one paw fitted with a bright pink bandage. Britney's sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were along for the trip, though they stayed outside with Britney's bodyguard during the visit.
Britney's new teacup-sized pal isn't the only thing keeping her busy lately. Last week, Will.i.am released the pair's new music video for the remix of "Scream & Shout." The unexpected Valentine's Day premiere was a treat for fans who responded with half a million views in less than one day. It was also met by rapper Eve's comment that Britney didn't sing on the track, causing Britney's team to set the record straight, saying the remark was "completely not true."

How to Date a Player
Dreaming about the hottie with the gorgeous eyes? Got a weakness for that buff babe who treats girls like they're replaceable? Can't resist his bad boy image and willing to take a chance? Well, here it is--instructions on how to date a player.
1Ask yourself what you want out of this. Chances are he won't stick around long enough for a real relationship, so if you have a fantasy of you two getting married and having some kids, wake up. Be prepared to accept that he is a player! If you know that you can handle him, move on to the next step.Ad
2Get his interest. What type of girl does he like? The good girl, the virgin, the bookworm, the popular girl, the bimbo, or the wild rebellious girl? Find out and do it. Yes, you may have to change who you are if you want to date a player. If you don't want to change yourself, go back to dating regular guys.
- If you don't know what kind of girl he likes, here's a suggestion: players (like normal guys) prefer girls who are not trashy. Dress like a lady, be feminine, be sexy, look like you have a busy social life, and ALWAYS respect yourself. When it's appropriate (such as at a dance or nightclub) show some skin.
3Mentally prepare. Players are players because they act like girls are replaceable. Get ready--he will most likely treat you in the same way. Be ready to walk away from the relationship, and/or be used and dumped by him.
4Players are mostly in it for the thrill of the chase and the sex. If you want to keep a player around, it's going to depend on several things:
- Can you two actually be friends--are you compatible?
- Can you put up with his cheating?
- Players are generally insensitive to a woman's needs--are you willing to sacrifice your self-esteem to be with him?
- Are your prepared to have sex/lose your virginity with him?
5Play it cool. Do not be like every other dispensable girl in the room. Waste no time flattering his ego, because it's already big enough.
6NEVER ask him out. Wait for him to ask you out. If he is not totally out of your reach (eg, he's the hottest guy around, you're chubby and he's into skinny girls), at some point when he sees you hanging around him enough he might ask you out. In general guys like girls that are more familiar.
7Prepare for the breakup. Once you bore a player, he'll either cheat on you or dump you (as long as you don't dump him first). So brace yourself for the time that he dumps you. Don't take it personally; he's a player.
8Come out of it all and be satisfied. In the worst case scenario, you got to date the bad boy--the kind of guy that other guys only wished they could be. Even though he dumped you (or maybe you dumped him), carve a notch on your bedpost and call it even.Ad
We could really use your help!
sunless tanning?
- Remember, players like fun girls; not clingy ones.
- Be a bigger player. Players like the thrill, the chase, and the hunt. They also like these qualities in other people. So find a hobby and go crazy about it. This will help when he talks about random hot women; you'll have something to combat it with like a new stitch you learned crocheting.
- Remember they are not looking for a long lasting relationship. You are expendable so don't take it too badly if he dumps you.
- If the player you're after is ungodly handsome, you have to realistically evaluate yourself. Either you become the woman of his dreams (size, shape, dress, personality), or give up because a thousand other girls will be working just as hard to date him.
- To be able to handle a player, you should have had at least 2 relationships with non-players before you date a player. You need to rack up some experience with normal guys before taking on a player.
- Date a player, sleep with a player, leave a player.
- This might become a shameful episode in your life that will be recalled as a lesson for your children in later years.
- May create cynicism towards men and relationships in general.
- Dating a player may alert friends and family to intervene and try to find you a better boyfriend.
- You might lose your self-esteem, happiness, and self-respect because of him.
- You might get sexually transmitted infections/diseases from having sex with him.
- You might lose your dignity and cause others to shake their heads slowly when you walk by.
Things You'll Need
- Condoms (No joke)

I'll be receiving my cousin's old PC (LGA775 based) in April. Some of the planned upgrades are HD6850 (Might be bottlenecked by CPU) 8GB DDR3 60GB SSD New case (HAF922 ?)
New PSU (Maybe)
LGA775 dual core or quad? If it's a quad you should be fine for now, although you'd certainly see better FPS with a newer processor tech like Sandy Bridge. If it's a dual core then that is going to be a serious bottleneck for sure. I guess I'd recommend you just overclock the CPU as much as you can until you can afford to upgrade to a newer platform.
All bottlenecks aside, what seems to suffer the most with an older platform is your minimum FPS. Even if we both get the same Max FPS, your minimum might be a lot lower than mine. This means that you'll have those times where your FPS drops down so much that the game stutters or even seems to lag out for a moment.
It should be a dual core. With all the ivy bridge stuff coming out, the sandy bridge stuff is surely going to have a price drop, I'll take advantage of that later when it happens. The benchmark of the dual cores looks good enough for now. I'm not certain about overclocking since the PC is after all, a little old, and my cousin is the type that leaves them running all day.
My computer specs, build this more than 2 years ago, have only upgraded the 460 GTX to an 6950 and replaced the HDD with a SSD for OS and applications. I use my samsung 40inch full HD tv as a monitor.

16Gb Corsair Vengeance

Asus Xonar Essence ST
Intel 320 120Gb
3x2Tb Western Digital Green
After numerous problems (infinite boot loop, voltage issues*, incredibly long start up times, an absolutely pathetic EFI**, etc.) my motherboard has decided to stop displaying any video (and no, it's not the GPU - the system just doesn't boot far enough for the GPU's to start up). I put my 2600K on eBay. I wanted to upgrade anyway. I picked up a 128GB Samsung 830 SSD and will get a new mobo/cpu soon. Socket 2011 here I come.
*1.45v for 4.5 GHz on the MSI mobo.1.32v for 4.5GHz on an ASUS board. The voltage also went up under load. So ridiculous.
**Up was down and down was up, childish color scheme/layout, etc.
Good riddance to a horrible motherboard.
That has never happened before, so don't count on it.
Anyway, my specs

Species-Specific MicroRNA Information:
- Designs are based on unique microRNA species from current release of miRBase (Sanger database) (http://www.mirbase.org/)
- Hairpin sequences are excluded from the design process
- Probes are anti-sense to mature microRNA
- For each probe, a double mismatch control is included to ensure specificity of detection. These '2mut' controls are designed to maximally de-stabilize probe-target hybridization, thus, mutations are introduced in the two most stable triplets.
- Non-microRNA controls include positive controls corresponding to small RNA such as tRNA and U6. The small RNA co-isolate with microRNA if the target preparation protocol is based on size fractionation.
- The negative controls contain anti-sense probes designed for abundant mRNA (such as Actb (actin), HSPA4, PGK1). If target samples have some RNA degradation, the partially digested fragments of the abundant mRNA will co-isolate with microRNA during size fractionation, and the corresponding probes will produce high intensity signals. If target samples are of good quality, the negative control signals will stay low.
- MicroRNA Microarrays are compatible with common reagents and fluorescent array scanners
- All probes on every microRNA are 100% quality tested
- Rapid turn-around time
