SHINING STAR -- Debbie Klier We'd like to thank you for all that you've done. For the time you've invested in our daughters and sons. For the places you've taken them, and you've taken them far! For leading and guiding them, to their North Star! For your timeless energy that never seems to tire. For that special talent you possess to inspire! For making your students the best they can be. For trying to teach them all to see; how far they can fly and how high they can soar. For making them all crave to learn more! You've challenged their minds, their hearts and souls. You've taught them it's possible to reach for their goals. And as they journey through life near and far, We will always remember their SHINING STAR! The Teacher -- William Arthur Ward The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. Teachers --(Author Unknown) Teachers are full of patience Teachers never give up, and won't let you give up either. Teachers take students seriously. Teachers care in their sleep Teachers see the genius in every drawing, poem and essay. Teachers make you feel important. Teachers also help others. Teachers never grow old. Teachers stay famous in their student minds forever. The School Teacher --(Author Unknown) Do you ever think about her, and the job she does for you Do you ever say Thank you, for watching all this crew She's not in it for the pay, there's not enough for that, She wants to teach and take care of them, and that is where its at Do you put yourself in her place, as you send them through the door Do you know she worries, until they're home once more That is your most precious possession, she is holding in her hand She knows this and she wishes, someone would understand She is your child's School Teacher but don't sell her short She is caring for your children, and she's doing it from her heart. A Teacher's Prayer -- Jill Wolf I want to teach my students more than lessons in a book; I want to teach them deeper things that people overlook. The value of a rose in bloom, its use and beauty, too, A sense of curiosity to discover what is true; How to think and how to choose the right above the wrong, How to live and learn each day and grow up to be strong; To teach them always how to gain in wisdom and in grace, So they will someday make the world a brighter, better place. Lord, let me be a friend and guide to give these minds a start Upon their way down life's long road, then I'll have done my part. Teachers ... Molders of Dreams -- Clark Molenhoff You are molders of their dreams. The Gods who crush their young beliefs of right or wrong. You are the spark, that sets aflame the poet's hand Or lights the flame in some great young singer's song. You are the Gods of young - the very young. You are the guardian of a million dreams. Your smile or frown can heal or pierce a heart. Yours are one hundred lives - one thousand lives. Yours is the pride of loving them, the sorrow too. Your patient work, your touch, make you the God of hope That fills their souls with dreams, and makes those dreams come true. Thank You Teacher -- Sharon Harper I bet you've tied a million shoes and dried a million tears and given out a million hugs as a teacher, through the years. In my child's life, the role you've played has been a priceless part and your must know the special place You hold in my child's heart. Tribute to a Teacher -- Brook E. King Her features don't stand out, But her acts of kindness do. She walks to her class each day Wearing the colors her children love. She teaches them to read and write; She teaches them to play. She used to be afraid of them, And worry what they thought, But now she knows they love her So she needs to have no fear. With fun and laughter she fills each day, And learning comes as well. Some learn fast and some learn slow, But she loves them all the same. She spends extra time helping those that need it, And gives compliments when they do their best. At the end of each day she is surrounded By a sea of little heads giving hugs of thanks. That is all they give in gratitude; That is all she needs. Teacher's ABC's --(Author Unknown) A is for the abundance of questions and yearning B is for both inward and outward beauty C is for creative learning D is for doing it over ''til it's right E is for the effort you pour into preparing each night F is for watching how far we can go G is for seeing us blossom and grow H is for reaching for that star so high I is for imagination, for the courage to try J is for joy in touching a child's life in a meaningful way K is for kindness you bring children each day L is for the love of teaching we see M is for the "me" you're helping me to be N is for never being to busy to pray O is for overcoming our desire to stray P is for the positives you bring to each Q is for the quintessential way to teach R is for your willingness to give us a reason S is for teaching us to appreciate each season T is for touching those that sit before you U is for understanding our fear of all that's so new V is for the vitality you show each day W is for every wonderment you bring our way X is for the extra-special teacher we see Y is for our sense of yearning to be, and Z is for the big "yahoo" sent from your very own "zoo"! The Teacher --Haim Ginott I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my personal approach that creates the climate. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I posses a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized. Hands --(Author Unknown) These hands are for you, Hands that represent the Hearts of the children You have lovingly inspired To dream, To live, To be. These hands are for you, Hands that will continue To learn because you Have been their master For a little while. These hands are for you. Thank you teachers Use this poem with hand prints of a child or children as a gift to a teacher. TEACHERS -- by William Byrd T eachers dwell in some far-distant heaven, E ven the most plain and down-to-earth. A ll your expertise and dedication C aptures our naive imagination, H eightening the aura of your worth. E ventually, that youthful admiration R eturns as we embrace what you have given, S erving as the seed of our rebirth. THE TEACHER --(author unknown) The teacher looked ahead with misgivings, but with hope. Would the way be smooth or rough? Would it end in success or failure? And she stood and looked and wondered. And a voice said, answering: "There will be no end." And the teacher smiled and said: "I know it will end. I may teach one year, two years, Or possibly many years, But this I know: Someday it will end." And the teacher went forward to teach. And many gathered around her, And they all had need to learn. And the teacher looked into their eyes and desired to fill their needs And she taught them with mind and heart and voice — A mind filled with knowledge, A voice speaking wisdom, And a heart overflowing with love. Then life changed, and the teacher taught no more. No more did eager students gather around her. "It has ended," said the teacher, continuing on the road of life. "This is the end of my teaching." And she believed this until A doctor stood and said: "I am here because this teacher taught me." A lawyer stood and said: "I am here because this teacher taught me." An astronaut stood and said, "I am here because this teacher taught me." An engineer stood and said, "I am here because this teacher taught me." A teacher stood and said, "I am here because this teacher taught me." And many in good positions stood and said, "I am here because this teacher taught me." And the teacher looked ahead of those who had been taught and saw the continued steps of progress, work, and success before each one. And joy filled the teacher's heart, and she said, "This is not the end. There is no end to my teachings." What Is a Teacher? -- Barbara Cage A teacher is someone who sees each child as a unique person and encourages individual talents and strengths. A teacher looks beyond each child's face and sees inside their souls. A teacher is someone with a special touch and a ready smile, who takes the time to listen to both sides and always tries to be fair. A teacher has a caring heart that respects and understands. A teacher is someone who can look past disruption and rebellion, and recognize hurt and pain. A teacher teaches the entire child, and helps to build confidence and raise self-esteem. A teacher makes a difference in each child's life, and affects each family and the future of us all. To My Teacher --(Author Unknown) A substitute for working moms, she comforts, pampers, soothes and calms With all the love she has to share, She's great to have when mom's not there. She loves to rock a fussy child, corrects the one who gets too wild. She hears her share of tearful pleas, and comforts those with skinned up knees. With little children she plays a peek, for bigger ones it's hide-and-seek. She is an expert at each game, but somehow loses just the same She helps them learn the alphabet, and gives them hugs when they're upset. She is a true and trusted friend, who helps them learn and play pretend. Although she's paid, it's plain to see, She serves them with a love that's free. Partnership -- Gloria Weber Henbess They bring their child to me And hope I'll come to know How much the offspring means to them, Their trust in me bestowed. They bring their child to me With love and hope and pride, Looking for a helping hand, A teacher who will guide They bring their child to me, And our partnership is clear: To nurture and allow to bloom A life we both hold dear. They bring their child to me, A step toward letting go And trusting in our special plan To help the child grow. Whose Child Is This? --(Author Unknown) "Whose child is this?" I asked one day Seeing a little one out at play "Mine", said the parent with a tender smile "Mine to keep a little while To bathe his hands and comb his hair To tell him what he is to wear To prepare him that he may always be good And each day do the things he should" "Whose child is this?" I asked again As the door opened and someone came in "Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile "Mine, to keep just for a little while To teach him how to be gentle and kind To train and direct his dear little mind To help him live by every rule And get the best he can from school" "Whose child is this?" I ask once more Just as the little one entered the door "Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled And each took the hand of the little child "Ours to love and train together Ours this blessed task forever." Why God Created Teachers --(Author Unknown) When God created teachers, He gave us special friends To help us understand His world And truly comprehend The beauty and the wonder Of everything we see, And become a better person With each discovery. When God created teachers, He gave us special guides To show us ways in which to grow So we can all decide How to live and how to do What's right instead of wrong, To lead us so that we can lead And learn how to be strong. Why God created teachers, In His wisdom and His grace, Was to help us learn to make our world A better, wiser place. Teacher's Serenity Prayer --(Author Unknown) God grant me wisdom, creativity, and love With wisdom, I may look to the future and see the effect that my teaching will have on these children, and thus adapt my methods to fit the needs of each one. With creativity, I can prepare new and interesting projects that can challenge my students and expand their minds to set higher goals and dream loftier dreams. With love, I can praise my students for jobs well done and encourage them to get up and go on when they fail, Lord reveal yourself through me. Amen YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE --(Author Unknown) There are many who go the "second mile" And greet each day's tasks with a smile; Who spend their lives serving others And look upon all men as brothers. Who work for all children everywhere, When there's a need - they are there. Their time and talents freely dedicate Serving in places small and great. These are the ones we honor today And to you we wish to say - This world is now a better place Because it looked upon you face. Anonymous In recognition of your dedicated service to (...name of your school or school district...) To Teach.... - --Tracey Smith Bradley, June 1998 To teach is to touch a life forever.... To teach is to see a struggling student smile... To teach is to hear a child read a story... To teach is to know it may take a while. To teach is something that comes within us... Something that grows inside your heart. To teach is a calling that was given us... Something that has been with you from the start. To teach is to give enough of yourself... To a child who needs your time and care... To teach is to share your world with others... So their knowledge will always be there. To teach is to cry when a child is having troubles... And to cry with joy when they achieve success... To teach is to cheer them on when they are at their worst... And to pat their back when they reach their best! To teach is something you'll have forever... It will never cease or die... For a teacher remembers each child, each face... And holds each one dearly inside. And though at times you may get tired... And wonder is it all worth the strain... You'll remember one child who succeeded with your help... And you know that you would do it all over again. What Is A Teacher ? --Garnett Ann Schultz What is a teacher? She's so much that's fine. A precious companion, a mother part time; She patches up bruises and wipes away tears, With a kind understanding, she banishes fears. A teacher is blessed with a patience so rare, A voice soft and gentle, a heart sweet and fair; She lends of her knowledge that each child might see The reason for learning, and accept graciously. What is a teacher?... A heartwarming smile, A very good listener, so much that's worthwhile. A playmate at recess, what pleasant delight, A stern referee if someone starts a fight. A teacher is laughter, she's pleasant and gay Yet she disciplines firmly, should a child disobey; An adult or a playmate, she has so much to lend, What is a teacher? A child's dearest friend. TEACHER APPRECIATION --(Author Unknown) When children go off to school, You wonder what they'll learn. You hope and pray that the troubles of today, In the classroom are not a concern. When a child always comes home inspired, And looking forward to each learning day, You look to the teacher for answers, To why the child responds this way. So teacher, to you we are grateful, For the encouragement and love you have shown. For teaching children to cherish their cultures, And respect those that aren't their own. We thank you for being creative; For allowing your students to shine - Through the making of crafts, And understanding of books, You excited and strengthened their minds. We don't know if our children will have another teacher quite like you. But their memories of this precious year, Will be revealed in all that they do. And years from now with their success, This effort they will redeem; To a teacher that's the greatest gift, And a parent's answered dream. GOD MADE TEACHERS . . . --(Author Unknown) God understood our thirst for knowledge, and our need to be led by someone wiser; He needed a heart of compassion, of encouragement, and patience; Someone who would accept the challenge regardless of the opposition; Someone who could see potential and believe in the best in others . . . So He made Teachers Teacher's Prayer -- (Author Unknown) Lord, Please help me, To strengthen their voices, bodies and minds, To express their feelings and control them sometimes, To explore what's near and venture afar, But most important to love who they are.

League of Legends
I feel like Xerath needs a rework.
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
At the moment, I want to say Xerath is possibly the worst champ in the game. Certainly one of the top 3 least picked. I have no idea what a complete rework would entail, but because the game is changing to have even more aggressive mids who get up close and personal, Xerath is becoming more and more outclassed in the meta. He needs to be way more mobile.
Everything feels better fresh out of the dryer. Even death would be nicer if it was dryer fresh.
The only change he might need is an ammo system for his ult instead of having to use all 3.
He's far from bad. He's mostly not played because most people find him boring.
"Combine Cloak and Dagger with Boots of Swiftness so CC doesn't stop you from moving faster toward defeat." - Frost_shock_FTW
Give him more range. :V
his ult should be like corki's leave the same damage tho
"Let me demonstrate Hammer Diplomacy!" - POPPY
I have sex with yordles... Is it blasphemy?
his psasive is really the only thing i have a problem with

LoL IGN:TheCakeIsNotAPie PROUD FATHER OF RIHOOF ALSO CREATOR OF THE WORD FERGLEBLAST
There's nothing wrong with his kit. If an enemy champ gets close enough to you that mobility is a problem you've done something very, very wrong. His 3 second CD Q and spammable ult make him a prime candidate for BFT (or whatever the SR equivalent is) in S3.
Just because a champ doesn't fit the meta doesn't make him bad.

his psasive is really the only thing i have a problem with
This tbh
I wanted to get him before the free week but now after testing him, I really like him.
There's nothing wrong with Xerath besides being team dependant, and having difficulty carrying late-game.
Some more ratio buffs would be all that he needs as well as a lower CD on his ult then he would be perfect.
Kitty Kat --> /\_/\
From: Damien 5000 | #001
Certainly one of the top 3 least picked.
No, top 3 are Urgot, Karma, and Sejuani. He's in the top ten though.
Xerath is becoming more and more outclassed in the meta.
Here is the thing, it's not that Xerath is outclassed in the meta, but rather that he doesn't fit the meta. Tristana is outclassed in the meta because the meta for bot lane is people with good poke, escapes, and burst damage, and her poke/escapes/burst damage are inferior to Graves/Ez/Corki. AP Sion is outclassed mid because the current meta for mid are people with high mobility, good farming, and great ganks that can transition into either a carry or utility role and Sion isn't mobile enough and doesn't have carry or utility potential.
Xerath fits the poke/seige meta. He's probably one of the best mids at that, next to Kog'Maw or Anivia or Lux. But he while he's really good at doing that, he can't fulfill other mid roles because the thing that makes him good also stops him from moving for several seconds. So whenever the meta doesn't support mids that poke/seige, Xerath won't be picked.
Is it bad that some champions are specialized for certain roles? Eh. I don't have a problem with it. I like the idea of champs having specialized roles because it makes the ban/pick part of draft far more interesting when you can pick/ban play styles instead of just picking/banning whomever is OP atm. However, I'm not a part of Riot's design team and they seem far more interested in everyone being interchangeable.
Honestly, changing every champion to fit the current meta is bad for the health of the game. It's different when a champion does not fit any meta (Karma), but ideally Riot shouldn't be trying to coddle the meta.
I'm actually incredibly overly passionate and...whats the word...viscous? - EltoniaX

Overall staff was very friendly and stay was pleasant. Would definitely recommend this hotel. One of the key points about this hotel is the location. The hotel is located near the shopping mall and restaurants.
Review collected in partnership with La Quinta
Very nice stay! I do wish there was a spare blanket left in the room. The décor was very nice and the location of the hotel was perfect. Thanks for a great visit. We will definitely stay at the location again.
Room was nice and comfortable Bathroom was really clean and Beds are nice as well. The front desk is always nice and polite. Breakfast is decent with easy access to the highway and many good places to eat
Quality of breakfast items is less than nearly any hotel I have stayed and travel 5 nights a week the last 7 months. Cereal low grade, no prepared scramble eggs, bacon,honey, peanut butter,etc. Expect: Hard boiled eggs, waffles, muffin,bagels, toast and juices.. Coffee is not good and the styrofoam is most difficult to use. The grounds and room are nice....
Last minute plan to stay! Price was right. Hotel room was small. Overall enjoyed our stay.we stayed 3 nights and the room was cleaned in an appropriate way each time. Did not worry about my belonging. Breakfast was a plus and also good.
I have stayed over 25 days at this location for business over the past year and I am always pleased by the courtesy and professionalism of the front desk staff. Rooms are very clean and comfortable and the value is outstanding. Close to many restaurants and shopping.
I found this La Quinta through an internet site and it was close to my final attraction. Since I arrived during the Blizzard of February 2015, I was surprised that the front office called me to make sure I was ok. The room was ready and the bed was warm. Breakfast was ready, hot and varied the next morning. It...
Staff was great, room was nice and clean. However, there were some real shady guest. One was very rude with the staff at front desk. The room next to mine was loud all night and there was a definite smell of marijuana on my floor. My students and I were not impressed with the clientele of this hotel.
This property's got a fantastic location if you're traveling the Interstate. It's easy to find and quick to hop on and off the freeway. It was very clean, updated, and surprisingly quiet. Staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. I only stayed one night, but my dog and I were both comfortable and well-rested in the morning.
Always enjoy staying at this particular La Quinta. Good location, especially if you want restaurants and shopping near by. Also, safe. It has a good swimming pool, jacuzzi and workout area. I didn't eat the breakfast, because I didn't get up in time; however, most of the time the breakfasts are good! Staying at a LaQuinta Inn and Suites is...
do the windows in the rooms open?
Does the hotel offer shuttle service to AT&T Stadium, or anyone know if it is within walking distance?

43 year old woman | Ukiah, CA, USA | Seeking men 38-48 within 50 miles
Active within 3 days
If you like pina coladas...
I've been on match.com for a quite a while and my tour of duty is ending in a few months so I am going to take a moment to re-vamp my profile and let the cards fall where they may... I am looking for a meaningful, well-balanced, stable, mature, monogamous relationship with a like-minded individual. All of us are looking for the same list of characteristics and values in a relationship: smart, funny, witty, quirky, attractive, active, nice, genuine, considerate, honest, spontaneous, and the list of adjectives goes on and on...I don't need to list every one. A glimpse about the kind of person I am can be gleaned from my interests/hobbies and other formatted areas filled in on this site. I think most importantly...I am looking for a well-balanced, normal, educated, funny, attractive, fun, stable, grounded man IN MY AGE GROUP!!! To be honest, I'm not going to be interested in dating a man in his 30s because most likely he doesn't have children of his own and still wants to have children of his own or he has very young children. And if this is you in your early, mid, late 40s...the same thinking applies. I have two beautiful, wonderful, happy, healthy children (junior high school aged) and I'm not wanting to start over with someone who wants to start his own family or has toddler-aged children of his own...been there, done that. At the opposite end of the spectrum, I am not interested in dating a man over the age of 53...and even that is a stretched ceiling. Men in their 50s and 60s need to move over to another mature-aged dating site. That is what I plan to do when I hit that age if I am still single and still looking for a partner. This may appear shallow, jaded, cynical, or whatever other term that comes to mind but I'm tired of wading through "likes", "winks", "emails", "instant messages" from men who just aren't a match for me. It's match.com...so maybe I'm not being clear enough about what my match is. 40s-ish woman looking for 40s-ish man. Must have a job, be stable, normal, fun, attractive, witty, and nice. I promise to be the same: I have a career, I am stable, I am nice. Fun, witty and attractive are in the eye of the beholder so I won't presume to think that anyone and everyone would find me fun, witty and attractive (but I like to think that I am). It also helps if you are actually located within a reasonable distance from me that if we should so chose, it is a physical possibility to meet without the purchase of a plane ticket or driving for hours and hundreds of miles. P.S. if you can't take the risk to include a profile picture of yourself, I can't take the risk to respond.

Astro Bob: Monday night's northern lights 'incredible' -- if you could see them
"WOWOWOWOW! Incredible!"
That was the reaction of Shawn Malone of Marquette, Mich., to the show put on by the aurora borealis late Monday into early Tuesday -- a show of brilliant red and green arcs, spires and rays that was visible over much of the country, as far south as Arkansas and Tennessee.

Check here for local news from ECHO and ECHO Distributors!
ECHO was pleased to participate in the 2015 Thunder on Ice ISR World Series of snowmobile ice drags in Oconto Falls Wisconsin, February 13-14. This event has been hosted by the Oconto Falls Sno Jokers snowmobile club for the past five years and has participants from all over the U.S., Canada and even Sweden. The event is a fund raiser with proceeds going towards local school scholarships and athletic programs along with assistance to fire and rescue agencies. One participant won a CS-590-20 ECHO Timber Wolf chain saw. And the ECHO Snow Bike made an appearance courtesy of Ron Jensen, Director of Warranty & Product Training. Several participants took it for a ride ... the unit is one of only 360 produced.
ECHO Incorporated builds on its already expansive recycling and sustainability program by adding a more efficient in-house program for employees. New containers (blue for aluminum and green for plastic) have been placed around the ECHO campus to spur on recycling efforts and keep our environment "clean and green".It's worth noting that in 2013, ECHO recycled 132,340 pounds of aluminum and 270,527 pounds of plastic. For more information about ECHO's pro-environment commitment, please click here.
ECHO Distributor, Outdoor Equipment Distributors, Inc. in Raleigh, NC, ran their second "Carving for the Cure" Event May 1-3 at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market in Colfax, NC. Thirteen carvers from around the country created pieces of art from blocks of wood using chain saws and hand tools. Spectators watched as the wood blocks took life and then were able to participate in auctions for the sculptures as well as machine-made quilts to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.® There were also additional raffles with the proceeds going to the cancer organization, and the local Susan G. Komen chapter was present to accept cash donations as well. Outdoor Equipment Distributors was please to report that over $5,200 was raised for the "Cure"! This money will provide 52 free mammograms for women who would not have been able to afford them otherwise. All competing carvers were given awards based on the dollar amounts their carvings earned through sculpture sales during the event and live auction, and each carver took home an ECHO chain saw. ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment, Joe's Tractor Sales in Thomasville, NC; and the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market were the primary sponsors of this event.
ECHO Incorporated will have a booth hosted by ECHO distributor, Golden Eagle Distributing, at the 2014 International Society of Aboriculture in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trade show dates are August 3 - 5. Come and see what all the outdoor power equipment buzz is about at ECHO in booth 441!Check out ECHO's new and improved chain saws, set up a field trial for you and your crews, speak with local dealers and enter a fantastic raffle for a chance to win one of three CS-355T chain saws!If you want to access event details on your mobile device, click here to download the app for the ISA Arborist Expo!
ECHO Incorporated is proud to support the Equipment & Engine Training Council's Paul H. Scholten Memorial Scholarship fund. Students must be pursuing a certificate or degree in power equipment technology at an EETC accredited school in order to be eligible. Applicants are judged on their academic achievement, leadership activities and student statement. Preference is given to qualified applicants who exhibit financial need. ECHO's Ron Jensen, Sr. Manager, Product Training and Consumer Support, presented the scholarships.Scholarships, which are given in memory and tribute to Paul H. Scholten (1940-2002), aid students in educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, and housing as they pursue their degrees and careers in the power equipment industry. Paul H. Scholten was a founding member of the Equipment & Engine Training Council, its past President and fervent advocate for excellence in power equipment service and repair. The EETC dedicates these scholarships to Paul in the hope that young people entering the power equipment industry will regard him as a role model for excellence in all of their life's endeavors.Thanks to ECHO and the EETC, each of five scholarship recipients received $1000 towards their college expenses in a OPE Technician Program. ECHO wishes the best to this year's recipients Ross Daniel Lubner of Appleton, WI; Easton Marie Murry of CobleSkill, NY; Paul Curtis Pickering of Waco, TX; Richard Terrell Morris of Raymond, MS; and Kyle Bernard Volker of Alexandria, MN.

LibreOffice Lands A Ton Of GPU OpenCL Functions
Published on 29 October 2013 10:15 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
39 Comments
More than fifty commits pushed into the core code-base today for the LibreOffice open-source office suite work on support for "GPU Calc" to take advantage of OpenCL for various math spreadsheet calculations.
Earlier in the summer we heard about
LibreOffice looking to take advantage of OpenCL
for faster calculations, particularly for its spreadsheet component, Calc, and now some of this work is finally landing. AMD was trying to spearhead the OpenCL support in LibreOffice while the work to talk about today is coming out of MulticoreWare.
Among the functions that were implemented in OpenCL for offloading onto graphics processors from LibreOffice include
(a financial payment on the principal equation),
(the inverse of the Fisher transformation),
(Fisher transformation),
(GAMMA function value),
(depreciation of an asset based upon straight-line depreciation),
(natural logarithm of GAMMA),
(the accrued interest for a security that pays interest at maturity),
(dollar fraction to dollar as a decimal number),
(dollar as a fraction), and numerous other functions have been implemented with OpenCL support.
As pointed out by my descriptions, most of the implemented functions in CL are around financial functionality that's supported by LibreOffice Calc and generally mirrored by what's available in Microsoft Office Excel. There's been more than 50 code commits today working to expand LibreOffice's OpenCL capabilities. OpenCL won't make much of a difference for users of simple spreadsheets, but it will be interesting to see how much of an advantage OpenCL can provide on GPUs for more intensive spreadsheet workloads.
With the work hitting the core Git code-base today, the OpenCL changes should be apart of the LibreOffice 4.2 release due out in late January or early February.

Manufacturer: Wintec
Model: Isabelle
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: For my birthday about six months ago I was in the market for a dressage saddle. After many weeks of looking for a saddle that fit me and my high withered horse, I finally tried out an Isabel of my friend's. It was great, and my horse responded very well to the CAIR air panels. I bought it at Dover Saddlery in Chantilly, VA for $999.99.
Likes: I like everything about my new Wintec Isabel! My favorite part about it has to be the CAIR air panels because they are VERY comfortable for my bony, high withered thoroughbred. I also enjoy the equisuede, as I do not like cleaning tack very much. It keeps the slipping of a leather saddle from happening and is nice and grippy for sitting my horse's bouncy trot. The Y girthing system is also very good at distributing pressure, and it really prevents the back part of the saddle from bouncing. The deeper seat is secure, but definitely does not push you into position. The easy change gullet system was very easy to change and took only about five minutes in total.
Dislikes: There is not really anything that I dislike about this saddle. Oh, the equisuede does attract a lot of dust, but it is easy to clean.
Quality: A very well made saddle with correct tree construction, CAIR air panels that conform to your horse's back, and much much more! This saddle will last you a lifetime!
Summary: An overall great saddle that is attractive, well made, and quite comfortable! I would suggest this saddle to anyone in the market for an affordable dressage saddle that can be used on many horses, and will still last a very long time!

Cheapest terracotta
I searched high and low for cheap, large terracotta pots for this season. Most places were $20 to $50 for 5ish gallon size pots necessary for successful vegetables! That is just insane to me.
Anyone else having this problem may want to check out IKEA, I was surprised to find them there when I went rug shopping! $5.99 for brand new terracotta pots, 5-7 gallons, haven't measured yet.
I did check Walmart, and, at least where I live, the terracotta remained extremely expensive. I was just at my local garden/hardware and it was literally $40 each for the same 5-gal terracotta, made by a different brand of course.
Walmart was great for DIY plastic containers, but not terracotta, IME. And plastice does not quite cut it in the heat of summer, where I live.
There are different manufacturing processes for terracotta pots. The method used is the primary factor in the cost. This link has a good explanation. The good news is that even the cheapies can last for years if properly maintained.
No ideas where you might want to shop, but at least you can know more about determining if you're getting what you pay for.
We have a wonderful family owned/operated farm market/garden center. Their prices are more than HD but their quality and knowledge of their staff is fantastic and their garden center is great. On his pots and garden statues he is very high and you'd think he'd reduce the prices so he wouldn't have to store them all winter but his philosophy is that if he reduced them too much and sold them, it would probably cost him more to rebuy new items for the garden center when he reopens in the Spring for business. He has great fruit and vegetables and tries to buy from local farmers.

Orlando Bloom is finally finding his way after the breakup of his marriage to Miranda Kerr left him feeling "rudderless."
"After a period of feeling a little rudderless, I feel like I've set a course again. I feel like I'm very much at the beginning of something," Bloom told the UK's The Times magazine in a story published Sunday.
The 37-year-old British actor and 30-year-old Australian model called it quits last fall after three years of marriage.
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr Split
But they have remained friends for the sake of their three-year-old son Flynn.
"I've said to her, 'We're going to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives and we have a child, so it's important to me that we respect each other as we always have and that Flynn feels that and understands that,'" Bloom said in the interview. "There's a deep love between us."
Now that he's a single dad, Bloom is also ready to leave his globetrotting days behind.
7 Celebrity Exes Who Have Stayed Friendly
"I've lived a very nomadic life, which I enjoy," he told The Times. "But now that I have my son it gets a lot more serious – I want to be in his life and have as much input and influence on his life as I can."
Bloom added that he'd also like Flynn to be educated in Britain.
"I'd like him to have some experience of living at home – in England," he said.
Miranda Kerr Wants to 'Explore' Sexuality, Doesn't Rule Out Women
Meanwhile, Kerr is having "some fun" being single, and says she wouldn't rule out having fun with another woman.
The supermodel told British GQ for its May cover, "I appreciate both men and women. I love the female body and truly appreciate the female form."

Flies and chickens
I've had my flock of 24 hens and 1 rooster for almost four months now. We have screen and metal mesh over the windows in the chicken coop to keep preditors out. I have noticed a lot of flies traped in the screen trying to get out. I leave the chicken door open all the time. So, I'm sure that's how they get in.
Will the flies cause problems with chickens. Do I need to do something to keep the flies down?
I have 2 fly traps hanging in my chicken coup. They catch a lot of flies. I get them at Walmart.
I also sprayed a patch on the outside wall of their coup with Quickbayt. It is safe around poultry. I use the one that's dry in the bottle, you add water.
See the results in this post on my blog.
Here is a link that might be useful: MY BLOG
There can be a problem if the chickens find where the flies are hatching and eat the maggots. They can develop a condition called Limberneck. Bot flies may also pose a threat to chicken health.
You probably need to clean and put down some shavings to absorb the moisture from the chicken droppings, especially under the roost.

Alert Golden Retriever
The dog is one of the most readily-available subjects in many households. Getting a good shot of the dog is not always easy, however. Here I had the dog hanging out in a green field near sunset. With the sun nearly behind me (just enough angle so that my own shadow was not in the frame), I caught the tongue barely exposed and alert ears in this picture.

This is the Jeep Renegade. Yes, Renegade. A strangely fighty name for a car that's more 'ahhh' than 'grrr', the bug-eyed new baby of the Jeep line-up.
Sam Philip04 March 2014
Grrrr! It's the Jeep Renegade
It's the new baby of the Jeep line-up, a bug-eyed rival for the Nissan Juke. Renegade? Really?
Renegade. This is rather like calling a Golden Retriever puppy 'Slasher', no?
Fighty it may not be, but the Renegade is worthy of closer inspection. Sharing underpinnings with the Fiat 500L (Chrysler is a subsidiary of Fiat, remember), this is a compact SUV to rival the Juke or Mini Countryman.
It measures just 420cm end to end, making it some 15cm shorter than the five-door Range Rover Evoque. Within that compact length, Jeep's designers have squeezed all their firm's signature styling cues, giving the Renegade a... well, let's say a surprised look.
Behind that perma-confused face, you'll find a range of sensible Fiat-spec engines: four 'MultiAir' petrol and two 'Multijet' diesels, all four-cylindered. The fruitiest of the bunch is the 2.4-litre naturally aspirated 'Tigershark' petrol making 184bhp, which could render the Renegade a mini-hot-SUV rival for that Nismo Juke.
Transmissions? Four- and five-speed manuals, a six-speed dual-clutch effort and, most interestingly, a nine-speed auto, which must surely represent the greatest imbalance in the number-of-gears/length-of car-ratio in the history of motoring.
You can have your Renegade in either front-drive or four-wheel drive flavour. Spec that latter and, in normal road driving, drive to the rear axle is disconnected, the engine driving only the front wheels. But when the going gets slippy, the Renegade can chuck the full 100 per cent of torque to whichever of the four wheels can utilise it best.
In other words, this thing is potentially far more dirt-track capable than the current swathe of 'baby SUVs'.
And if you're really up for the off-road, you can even your Renegade in 'Trailhawk' guise, which adds a 20:1 'crawl ratio' mode to the auto' box, extra ride height, the ability to ford almost half a meter of water, and even tow-hooks front and rear.
Expected to roll out across left-hand drive markets first, we're unlikely to see the Renegade unleash its wave of mild-mannered terror on the UK before 2015. Be afraid. Actually, don't be.
What do you think?

text: Health is generally considered an important resource in games. It makes sense. When we run out of health, we die, we lose, and we have to start some portion of the game over again. We always like to know how much health we have, and in RPGs, a very numbers-driven and statistic-heavy genre, we like to know exactly how much health we have.

We have been covering Jonah Hill's dramatic weight loss recently due to the popularity amongst the public, and it seems his appearance at the VMA's made the masses aware of his dramatic weight loss once and for all.
Jonah Hill has kicked a massive amount of weight and has not been shy about undertaking normal activites, even with constant commentary on the fact. But on Sunday night at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, it seems everyone and their mothers now know.
When he was pressed on how much weight he has kicked, he was reluctant to say, simply saying he didn't even know how much he had actually lost, but did tell of the torture going through the process and how his had to change his life completely.
One of the most common questions people have is, will Jonah Hill be funny skinny? We think the answer will be a resounding YES!

Kichler LED undercabinet light flashing
puppeezMarch 22, 2014
I had the LED lighting installed 3 yrs ago in the kitchen remodel, and they have been working fine. They are on for most of the day for ambient and task light. For the last week the lights would occasionally flash once. Today they started continuous flashing like strobe lighting. I turned them off and right back on and they continued flashing. I left them off for 15 min and turned back on and so far they are working normal. Oops..that lasted about 15 minues. back to flashing. Any ideas?

Buy your lighting. DJ lighting consists largely of two types of lighting, stage lighting and intelligent lighting. Stage lighting is going to consist mostly of par cans. 4 par cans on each side on tree stands work just fine for a start up DJ business. Experiment with colored gel sheets to get the right mood setting colors for the theme or atmosphere of the party you are DJing for. Your other style of lighting is intelligent lighting. These are DMX controlled units which are capable of movement and color change and will add the special effects to your show.
How to Set Up DJ Lighting
Part of working as a professional DJ is having a portable, professional looking lighting show. However, chasing Christmas lights just wont do. The professional DJ needs an arsenal of many different types of lighting fixtures to truly create a unique package to present to your clients. These fixtures can be quite confusing at first, but with a little hands on experience you will be setting up your lighting like a pro in no time.
Things You'll Need
- DJ lighting equipment
- DJ lighting accessories
How to Set Up DJ Lighting
Buy the right accessories. Be sure that you are equipped with a DMX controller that can operate your style of lighting, the correct lighting cables for your lighting units, dimmer packs for to control the intensity of your lighting, and lighting stands and clamps to secure your lights in locations that will be most effective to your show.
Buy a haze machine. There can be some confusion between a hazers, dry ice fog, and fog machines. Working from the bottom up a dry ice fog machine outputs a low lying fog that stays close to the floor. A fog machine puts out short bursts of heavy fog that stays around a medium height. A haze machine is your best bet for lighting as it emits a very thin haze of fog that spreads evenly throughout your entire space. A haze machine helps refract and trace the lights and give an overall wow effect to your lighting show.
Add accessory lighting. Moonflowers, strobes, disco balls, and lasers are all huge additions to your lighting arsenal that will add to the effect and professional look of your lighting show.
Design your show. Only a real amateur just sets each unit to an automatic setting to bounce with the music. Plan where you are going to put your lighting, what color or gobos you are going to use, and then change them dependent on the mood of the song or the mood of the party.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Invest in lighting control software. You can literally plan your whole lighting show before hand to choreograph with the music you plan to play.
- Lighting is expensive. Invest in quality bulbs and cords to assure that you will get good life out of your equipment.
- Be sure that your venue has the power to run your lighting show at least a few hours before you're on. This will prevent embarrassing power outages to your equipment.
