Phoronix: Intel Continues With Mesa Changes For Valve
Intel open-source developers continue to make changes to Mesa at the request of Valve Software's Linux team...
This for radeon, pretty please? AMD's official linux tools are completely useless (fglrx + gdebugger).
If this continues, I'm going to have to buy an ivy ;)
I personally put them in contact with mupuf of Nouveau.... Corbin Simpson of Radeon too.... Corbin was supposed to be flying out there a few weeks ago for an interview or something but haven't heard back since. Last I heard from mupuf is that they weren't really communicating and then yeah not sure if they're oding anything with Corbin right now.
Yeah i know they had contact with them. But i thought they were looking to employ those guys and not have them improve the drivers directly. Anyway.
As for why they haven't done anything more i have no idea. I hope that at some point they will invite the devs to their offices to play around.
I'm sure that's exactly it - I don't know why nobody hasn't come realize that yet. I'm not entirely sure but I think the Source Engine requires opengl 3.2, which the FOSS drivers don't support yet.
I'm sure in Valve's point of view, they want a customer experience that is complete and consistent. That's why they want proprietary drivers (or drivers that are 99% actively developed by 1 company, like intel's) and why they chose to work with Canonical. The fact that Valve has even attempted cooperating with FOSS drivers or the blob drivers for that matter is pretty commendable. The fact that they're making a linux release at all is just plain awesome.
For those who are whining that the radeon and noveau drivers arne't getting (as much) attention is just plain aggravating to me. Yes, they need improvement, but don't think that's why valve is ignoring them in the first place? That's like telling a doctor to heal someone with cancer when there's someone with the flu who can actually be healed quickly. I support the efforts of radeon and nouvea and they've made a lot of progress, but valve attempting to fix them is a waste of their time and resources when there's already a functioning and better performing alternative. I personally would prefer steam and the source engine be released within a month on blob drivers than wait a half year or more so they fix up the FOSS.

Dart Short-Block Motor - Power in a Package
Written by on December 18, 2009 We Combine Dart's New 400ci Short-Block With One Of Their Top End Induction Kits For 523 Hp The Easy Way.There are many paths to putting together a true high-performance street engine, but when starting from scratch, you'd better be ready to set aside plenty of time to go along with the money. As seasoned car guys, we've been down that road plenty of times, from rummaging the boneyards and swap meets looking for a suitable core, to tearing down the greasy mess and trucking it down to the machine shop. Still, it's a roll of the dice until an inspection gives the basic core components the nod, then it's a matter of gathering parts, machining, and waiting. Many guys will look to sidestep the entire process, instead looking toward the convenience of crate engines, however, the Dart SHP (Street High Performance) short-block offers yet another approach that is definitely worth a look.
While a crate is certainly the most time effective way to a high-performance engine, this approach typically comes with some compromises. Often, the engine combinations are "one size fits all," or based upon a limited number of combination choices. With the SHP short-block, what you get is a brand-new Dart SHP iron block filled with a brand-new balanced rotating assembly. When you really look at a short-block assembly as an alternative to a full build or a crate, there are some real advantages. With the bottom end built, the most time-consuming aspect of the engine project is already done and ready to go, but the options on heads, cam, valvetrain, and other go-fast ingredients are still wide open to build the combination any way you want. Really, the combinations are virtually limitless, resulting in an engine equipped with the components that are right on target for your combination.
The Short
Whatever engine package you might conjure up will only be as good as the foundation it is built on. If that foundation is a stock 40-year-old block, it's already compromised. For serious power and long-term reliability, there isn't any production core that is a match for today's breed of aftermarket blocks. Dart is a leader in this field, with a long history of manufacturing Chevy blocks in a wide range of configurations. The SHP block is targeted right at the high-performance street enthusiast, taking some of the best features of Dart's race castings and offering them in an affordable block built to take the punishment.
These Siamese-bore castings have the extra meat where it counts, with thick cylinder wall spec'd out at a minimum of .230 inch at a bore size of 4.165 inches, heavier main webs and deck, and all poured from a superior grade of iron alloy. All of the boltholes are blind, eliminating the need to slop sealer on the cylinder head fasteners, and the bottom end is secured with splayed-cap four-bolt mains. Add in the priority-main oiling system, revised cooling jackets, and you've got a foundation that puts the engine in another league compared to a junkyard block.
The SHP short-block program takes the SHP block to the next level, providing a fully machined assembly precision-fitted with the basics of a solid performance engine. The short-blocks are available in 4.125x3.48-inch, or 4.125x3.75-inch bore/stroke specifications, producing 372 or 400 cubic inches. The base package here includes a cast-steel crank, I-beam rods, and hypereutectic pistons priced at $2,975 for the assembled 372-cube package. From there, options include forged pistons, a 4340 forged crank, and H-beam rods, allowing the short-block to be tailored to your specific needs.
Build It
We were looking to put together a nice 400-cube small-block Chevy, to build a hot-street pump-gas combination with a minimum of 500 hp and reliability that we could count on for the long haul. After exploring the options, the Dart SHP short just made sense as the starting point. Considering the scarcity of production big-bore 400 blocks, and weighing that against the improvements with the Dart unit, it really didn't take much to tip the scales to favor the SHP block as the basis of the build. Ultimately, we went all the way with the assembled short, considering it to present a good value for machining and assembly given the quality components used. Working the numbers, we would have a hard time equaling the short-block assembly for the money, not even accounting for the additional time required when starting from a bare block. To make the bottom end as stout as possible, we ticked all of the option boxes when making the order, upgrading to the forged crank and pistons with H-beam rods (bringing the short-block total to $4,184.66). And while we didn't see these upgrades as an absolute necessity for the power level achieved in this story, we do have our eyes set on upgrading to a more potent top end and valvetrain at a later date.
With the short-block taken care of, we could focus our attention on the power parts to complete our combination. Since dependable street use was our target for this story, the camshaft would be a hydraulic roller. The roller cam would eliminate the need for a tedious cam break-in procedure, and provide more lift than a conventional flat-tappet cam. We weren't shy when it came to our cam choice, going with a healthy COMP Cams Big Mutha Thumpr stick, part number 08-602-8. Spec'd out at 299/319 gross duration (243/257 at .050), with .533-/.519-inch lift on a 107-degree lobe separation angle, the tight separation and extended exhaust duration would definitely have some bark. The Dart block is already configured to accept the full OEM hydraulic roller system, but instead we opted to step up to COMP's new short-travel hydraulic lifers, which are available as retrofit-style lifters only. [More on these extraordinary pieces to come in a future issue.-ed] The limited-travel lifters allow the cam to act more like a solid at high rpm, reducing the likelihood of lifter instability problems when turning tight.
As with the camshaft, by starting with the short-block, that left the cylinder head options wide open. Here, we looked no further than the Dart catalog, going with the Dart Pro-1 200cc aluminum heads with 64cc chambers. These as-cast Pro-1 heads offer a good balance of cost, flow, and runner size, putting them right on target for our displacement and rpm range. To accommodate the heads, the springs were upgraded to COMP number 930-16 pieces (a 1.550-inch diameter dual-spring assembly). The large-diameter springs can create clearance issues with some rockers, but we found they worked fine with a set of COMP Ultra Gold aluminum rockers in a 1.5:1 ratio. To provide the link between the rockers and the lifters, we went with a set of Manley hardened 5/16-inch pushrods in a length of 7.250 inches.
To round-out our power-parts combination, we still had the induction system to consider. Here, we weighed the potential benefit of a single-plane manifold for top end power against the stronger overall torque curve of a dual-plane. Within the realm of street rpm of under 6,500 rpm, a modern dual-plane will almost always show more average power over the engine's operating range. To keep the major castings all in the same family, we went with a Dart dual-plane, an intake manifold that is regarded by many engine builders as one of the best of this configuration. (Note that you'll need to chase down the proper pipe plug fittings for the manifold and cylinder heads ahead of time.) To top the manifold, we had a couple of Holley carburetors to try, a brand-new 750-cfm Ultra Double Pumper (anodized blue to match our Moroso ignition gear), and one of our old favorites, an 850 Street HP.
With the major components of the build selected, the parts were taken to Andy Mitchell's Outlaw Racing Engines for final assembly. Having a complete short-block as a starting point, the assembly process was completed very quickly, with no undue surprises. Mitchell degreed the cam in to an installed centerline of 102 degrees, using a COMP timing set, and locked it down with an OEM GM thrust plate. A COMP two-piece aluminum timing cover (to aid future cam swaps) was use to seal the front of the engine, with a TCI Rattler damper hung on the nose of the crank. The heads went on with a set of ARP bolts, giving a compression ratio calculated at 10.66 by Mitchell based on 64cc combustion chambers, .039-inch thick Fel-Pro gaskets, and .028-inch piston deck. Providing for the lubrication, Mitchell used all Moroso components, including an Eliminator seven-quart pan and standard-volume pump. Turning back upstairs, a Moroso DuraFire HEI distributor and Blue Max wires put the final touches to our completed engine.
On The Dyno
Anytime a new combination is put together it comes down to the power numbers to gauge the success of the effort. We have to admit that this engine assembly all came together with out-of-the-box parts, with none of the custom "massaging" that some of our engines get. Really, to all of us involved, it just seemed too easy this way, and it made us wonder if it could really "turn a number." This apprehension was at its peak the day the engine was bolted to the Westech engine dyno. Editor Johnny Hunkins was responsible for most of the parts selection, and it did look good on paper. With the cubes, heads, cam, and compression, the ingredients were there for power. We were looking for an honest 500 hp on pump gas, and I reassured Hunkins that "anything we see over 500 hp is pure gravy."
Westech's Steve Brule, our dyno operator, had first-hand experience with these Dart SHP engine combinations in the past, having personally put together and tested a 372-cube version. As he put it, "These Dart short-blocks are nice. It's the highest-quality crate short-block I've ever seen." Needless to say, Brule confidently predicted that the engine would make our target with ease.
With the timing set conservatively at the damper, the Dart SHP fired instantly, and with a few preliminary checks of the timing and fuel, the engine was allowed to seat the rings on the SuperFlow dyno's automated break-in cycle. Next, it was what we had been waiting for: power testing. If the engine build seemed a little too straightforward, the same can be said of our dyno test session. Right out of the box, the dyno readout showed our first carburetor, the Holley 850 Street HP, was very close on jetting, and the power curve was picture perfect. We had an almost ideal dyno graph, all the way from the bottom to the top, with no flat spots, dips, or instability from 3,500 to 6,600 rpm. Better still, we were well past our 500 hp target. With some minor adjustments of the jetting and timing, the printout showed 523 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm, and 523 horsepower at 5,700 through 6,200 rpm. The power curve was fat, with almost 500 lb-ft right at the bottom of the test at 3,500 rpm, and a power peak that just hung on at the top.
We still had the 750 Ultra Double Pumper to test, a new lightweight aluminum-bodied carb from Holley that features an electronic choke for street driving. The 400-cube Chevrolet certainly did seem to like our big 850-cfm baseline carb, and we had to expect a power penalty going with the smaller 750. As we went into the pulls, the mixture numbers were virtually dead-on, and the 750 Ultra's power was within a kitty cat's hair of the bigger Holley. Even with a 750-cfm carb, the combination delivered.
While there are still plenty of applications where a fully custom-built engine may be the right choice, we found the Dart short-block to be right on target for our objectives here. What we had was an all-new big-bore, big-inch small-block with power to spare, and components inside we can believe in. With the SHP short-block, we certainly shortcutted the build time and trouble, but the results showed we didn't get shortchanged on power. That's what we call a win-win situation.

Youth Golf Clubs
Youth Golf Clubs
Product Selection
Learn More: Buying Kids Golf Clubs
Its time to inspire their passion for the game with a pair of kids golf clubs and youth golf clubs at DICKS Sporting Goods.
From complete sets to individual clubs, find the golf gear that matches your budding athlete. Kids golf clubs are lighter than traditional clubs, with grips designed to comfortably fit in small hands.
Playing with kids clubs is the best way for children to hone proper technique. Watch them learn the game with complete club sets that come with all the essentialsincluding two woods, a hybrid, three irons, a driver and puttereach specially crafted for the forgiveness a beginner needs.
Shop top golf brands for junior clubs, including Top Flite®, Callaway®, Cobra® and PING®.
Buying Tips
Consider your child's age, size and skill level when picking out your set of kids' golf clubs.
Hybrid golf clubs are new to the junior golf bag, but they are a big hit on the golf course. These clubs are ideal for young golfers who need a club to split the difference between the distance of a fairway wood and the control of an iron. These clubs ultimately replace hard-to-hit long irons by combining the accuracy of an iron with the forgiveness of a wood.
A kids' golf putter has a mallet-shaped design with an oversized head for increased forgiveness. To help your young golfer visualize the putting line to the hole, choose a putter that features alignment lines and a matte, non-glare finish.
Don't forget to outfit them for the course with kids golf clothing, like polos, jackets and pants.
Expert Advice
Not all sets of kids' golf clubs are the same: Youth sets are designed for various age groups, sizes and skill levels.
Junior golf clubs are crafted for a simplistic design. Because children have a lower center of gravity than adults, the junior driver comes with a lower-profile head, producing higher, longer and straighter shots. The junior driver has unique flex that maximizes clubhead speed.
In order for your child to get the most out of their clubs, it is important to make sure their shafts are the correct height for their body. As they grow, invest in longer clubs with different levels of flex using incorrectly sized clubs often leads to bad habits on the greens.

2013 Benefits Open Enrollment
Dependent and Beneficiary Designation
Instructions and Information for
Completing Your Personal Enrollment
These instructions will assist you in completing your Personal Enrollment for The University of Iowa Benefits Program.
The first step in completing your personal enrollment is verifying your dependent and beneficiary information.
Dependents: Check to make sure the dependents listed are correct. You can make additions yourself. Please contact the Benefits Office for deletions and corrections. Later in the enrollment process, you will be prompted to designate dependents. Any dependents you plan on insuring need to appear on this list.
Children may be covered on health and dental insurance through the end of the year in which they turn 26 without tax implications. Coverage for children who are full-time students or disabled can continue as long as they continue in that status.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined that if an employer allows employees to insure dependent children past the age of 26 who do not qualify as the employee's tax dependents, there is a value that must be added to the employee's taxable salary when reporting income earned on the annual W-2. The 2013 information can be viewed at: http://www.uiowa.edu/hr/benefits/health/fpsmse/taxable_ins_hd_fpsmse13.html
Beneficiaries: Check to make sure the beneficiaries listed are correct. You can make additions yourself. Please contact the Benefits Office for deletions and corrections. Later in the enrollment process, you will be asked to assign beneficiaries when selecting eligible insurance plans. Anyone you plan on assigning as a beneficiary needs to appear on this list.
If you have Spouse and/or Dependent Life Insurance, add yourself as a beneficiary with relationship "employee."
In order to permanently delete a beneficiary or if a beneficiary is not appearing under a benefit area where you want to cover them, please contact the University Benefits office.
As you are enrolling online, there are a few things to remember:
- You will always be the beneficiary for Spouse and Dependent Life Insurance.
- Life insurance proceeds are divided between primary beneficiaries. Contingent beneficiaries only receive proceeds if there are no living primary beneficiaries.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the enrollment process, please contact:

In the 2014/15 season, each mainstage production features current or alumni resident artists in major roles: André Chiang is Dr. Falke and Ian José Ramirez is Dr. Blind in Die Fledermaus; Jennifer Forni is Micaëla, Katrina Galka is Frasquita, Ian José Ramirez is Remendado, and Alexander Elliott is Dancaïre in Carmen; Lindsay Ohse is Magnolia Hawks, Hannah Penn is Julie La Verne, Katrina Galka is Adult Kim, Ian José Ramirez is Pete, and Alexander Elliott is Steve Baker in Show Boat; Ian José Ramirez is Sellem in The Rake's Progress; and Katrina Galka is Adina, Matthew Grills is Nemorino and Alexander Elliott is Belcore in The Elixir of Love.
Each resident artist gives an intimate solo art song recital at the Portland Art Museum during the season. As a group, they perform at many season previews, production previews, and other community-based concerts.

The 12 Dumbest Ways New Yorkers Prepared For The Last Hurricane
Let's remember how bad New Yorkers are at preparing for hurricanes with these pictures from Hurricane Irene. God bless us all.
1. With towels and masking tape.
2. Covering their cars in garbage bags.
3. Covering their cellar doors with garbage bags, tape, and bricks.
6. Covering their windows with cardboard.
7. Duct-taping their doors shut.
8. Cardboard "sandbags"
12. And last but not least, poorly taping their windows.

Which is a myth by the way. Tape doesn't do anything!

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than standard lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are made from a similar material to that of bulletproof glass, these lenses are 10 times more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses however this material is relatively soft, subsequently polycarbonate lenses need a scratch-resistant coating to prevent surface scratches. These lenses are for low-to-moderate prescriptions of 0.00 to +/- 3.00. If your prescription is higher than this, we suggest HI INDEX material.
High Index 1.67 are recommended for prescriptions ranging from +/- 3.00 to +/- 6.00 to keep the lenses the thinnest possible. High-index 1.67 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 40%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
High-Index 1.74 is the thinnest lens possible today. High-index 1.74 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 50%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. These lenses are recommended for prescription that range from +/- 6.00 and higher. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
Transitions or sometimes called Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken into sunglasses on exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Once the UV is removed (for example by walking indoors), the lenses will gradually return to their clear state. These features make Transition or photochromic lenses a great convenience, by reducing your need to wear prescription sunglasses in most outdoor conditions.
Polarized sunglasses are specialized lenses designed to reduce glare and increase contrast sensitivity. Glare distorts the true color of objects and makes them harder to distinguish. Unlike traditional sunglasses, polarized sunglasses selectively block out glare instead of dimming the entire field of vision. Polarized sunglasses are popular with sports enthusiasts, including skiers, golfers, bikers and joggers, fisherman, as well as the general public.
There is a huge variety of colors shades and intensity that prescription glasses can be fashion tinted in. Fashion tints provide variety and create special looks for both men and women by accenting, complementing or bringing out their eye color.
Crizal Avance is a premium Anti-Reflective coating applied to the surface of lenses to reduce reflection. Anti-reflection lenses decrease reflection making eyewear look better, less glare is particularly noticeable when driving at night or working in front of a computer monitor. The decreased glare means wearers often find their eyes are less tired, particularly at the end of the day. Allowing more light to pass through the lens also increases contrast and therefore increases visual acuity.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - While local newspapers are filled with news of growing corporate development, seemingly beyond our control, Truckee is in danger of letting a valuable public asset, central to our values and prosperity, slip through our fingers.
An iconic, publicly owned property is well into the process of being sold to a private party. Through a series of negotiations, generally unknown to the community, Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District and Nevada County have paved the way to sell the Veterans Memorial Building.
This historic site, where luminary C.F. McGlashan (publisher of our first newspaper and author of "The History of the Donner Party") built a museum and the "The Crystal Palace" residence in the late 1800s, features The Rocking Stone, a sacred site of the early Washoe and one of only 25 geologic phenomena of its kind in the world.
When the mansion burned down in 1935, the McGlashan family donated the site to our community, and, since we were not yet incorporated, Nevada County held the property on our behalf. After a successful building drive by the American Legion, the Veterans Hall Memorial Building opened in 1939.
The iconic Gothic Revival presiding above Truckee has been continuously used by veterans and the community for 70 years, housing a CHP shooting range, weddings, veterans' meetings, county services, community blood drives, noon basketball, cribbage, youth soccer, visiting youth groups and many more activities.
In 1960, the Olympic Torch spent the night here on its trip to the Squaw Olympics.
TDRPD purchased the Vets Hall and Rocking Stone from Nevada County for $1 in 1994. The deed required the building be used for recreation and veterans. However, with the additional square footage of the new Rec Center, the TDRPD deemed the Vets Hall facility "surplus property" and, without soliciting public input, the Nevada County Board of Supervisors agreed to lift the deed restrictions.
In addition to loss of this public property, consider these points:
• Those familiar with the steep, winding and narrow streets know how dangerous this area is, especially in winter. It cannot safely hold the increased traffic that a church would create. This small, residential neighborhood already houses one church and paid parking, and events downtown have created additional traffic issues. A high use building here is a dangerous idea.
• There is a reason why the street going straight up the hill from the old jailhouse is called Spring Street. When I-80 was built for the Olympics, it created drainage problems that continue to flood properties around the Vets Hall. Parking requirements for a church would necessitate cutting down an aspen grove and paving to the freeway, creating an impermeable surface that would exacerbate drainage.
• Historic character is a major reason for the prosperity of Downtown Truckee. The Rocking Stone and Vets Hall are part of the Historic Downtown Walking Tour, frequented by visitors and local public school classes alike. If the Vets Hall becomes a church and the Rocking Stone becomes its backyard, this spot will no longer be a public space.
• While a church may describe itself as being open to anyone who wants to attend, is this really a public use? Why would we want to lose a public asset with capacity to serve a diverse community of 16,000 residents and thousands of visitors to a religious community of 100-200 people? Why are we giving up an asset we own that will never return to public use?
• Recently, the Blue Star Mothers of America dedicated two plaques at the Vets Hall for local marine heroes, who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Sierra Sun reported, "The dedication was the culmination of months of negotiating; finding the appropriate location..." The American flag that currently flies proudly on the site celebrates a landmark that honors our history and our countrymen, rather than one group's house of worship.
It is unfortunate the community did not have a chance to weigh in on the use and preservation of this asset. However, it is not too late.
Now that the community is aware, there is pressure for TDRPD to re-think this action. Ideas brought forward include a museum to house historic archives, resources and photographs. Other uses could be nonprofit office space, a training/meeting center, child care or a Boys and Girls Club. We are sure our smart, creative community can come up with more ideas.
This irreplaceable asset belongs to us. Attend a public meeting Tuesday, March 5, 6:30 p.m. at the Vets Hall or email the Rec District at email@example.com.
Ruth J. Hall, Stefanie Olivieri, Val Kelly, Buff Cano, Bill Millholen, Ben Trustman, Rolf Godon, Pam McAdoo, Nancy Wilkins and Patty Lomanto are Truckee residents.

Macy's makes Mother's Day a social event
The retailer, which is one of three finalists in the Internet Retailer Excellence Awards' Marketer of the Year category, is donating $3 for every ...
How I bought all my gifts this year without ever having to look for parking.
It hit me during a rather mundane task. After procrastinating about as long as lawmakers did in crafting a plan to avoid the U.S. going over a fiscal cliff, I finally sat down last night, cup of joe in hand, in front of our fire and began the oh-so-thrilling chore of sifting through holiday sales receipts.
Oh boy. $79.87 at Amazon.com, $22.47 at Etsy, $33.55 at RibbedTee.com.
Wait...Could it be? No? Really? Yes. It was true.
I bought every single holiday gift online this year. Every. Single. One. That's saying a lot for a gal who has to shop for eight nieces and nephews, three siblings, a set of parents and a fiancé.
The thing is, I didn't mean to. Yes, I write about e-commerce 40 hours a week, so perhaps it was a subconscious gesture. But in most cases it simply made the most sense. Surfing the web helped me find what I was looking for—and in many cases they were pretty specific items—fast, look at reviews, and visit multiple stores to comparison shop without fighting Chicago traffic and giving the evil eye to the jerk who steals my parking spot.
We all know shopping the web is faster and more convenient than getting in a car and toddling around town to those cute little boutiques praying they have the perfect, thoughtful gift. However, I've selected a handful of examples from my Santa sack this year that I feel really drive home the argument for shopping online.
Exhibit A: Mission Impossible
After sending the yearly "Please-tell-me-what-you-want-for-Christmas-this-year" e-mail to my family, my brother presented me with a challenge.
Here is the transcript:
You are the perfect person to get me what I cannot seem to find myself.... I have tried LOTS of different plain white t-shirts and can't find any that I like. All I want is a white undershirt that
1 stays white after washing
2 holds its own shape (especially in the collar)
3 is soft and wrinkle free (aka nicer looking than plain ol cotton)
Don't even bother with Hanes, Fruit of the Loom or anything like that. I have a Claiborne that is close but I'm sure you could find me the holy grail of undershirts. I just need one. If I like it I will stock up on my own dime. My size is XL. Good luck on your mission if you wish to accept it."
Never one to shy away from a clothing-related mission, I took to the web and Googled "best men's undershirts". Up came a digital edition of the men's magazine GQ with a Top 10 ranking. I then headed to Facebook and messaged a few of my more fashionable guy friends. I even found a blog devoted specifically to this one item: "The Undershirt Guy Blog." After gathering all the suggestions, I visited the e-commerce sites that sold each of the brands and styles recommended to check them out myself and price compare, keeping the tabs open for each one at the top of my computer screen so I could quickly toggle back and forth. I was done in an hour, settling on a style from RibbedTee.com. My brother loves his shirt and has since purchased three.
Exhibit B: The Case for Catalogs:
I'm endlessly annoyed at the amount of catalogs I receive in the mail in general. That annoyance triples around Nov. 1 at the start of the holiday season. They seem to multiply each week. But one caught my eye this December. Uncommon Goods.
You see, my other brother is slightly obsessed with 1940s and 1950s decor for this new home. He is picky to the point of OCD, spending hours scouring forums and blogs for such items as a perfectly restored Eames Lounge Chair. I cannot afford purchasing such pricey items, but I did want to get him something in my budget that would meet his standards and add a nice touch to his home. Paging through the Uncommon Goods catalog, I was pleasantly surprised with their healthy selection of retro and vintage goods in my price range. I headed online to UncommonGoods.com and found and even wider selection. I stumbled upon a set of coasters and a serving bowl made from real old vinyl records. Perfect. I was sold. And although I wasn't able to select the artists or albums and my brother isn't exactly a fan of "The Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page, he loves the gift nonetheless.
Exhibit C: The Picky Eater:
My fiancé is one of the pickiest eaters I know. His meals rotate between french fries, chicken fingers, and ...french fries. Looking for a small stocking stuffer, I decided to get him the third type of food his palate won't reject, his favorite snack: sesame sticks. Those suckers are surprisingly hard to find. They aren't like Doritos or Snickers bars, gracing the aisles of every supermarket. I've found them occasionally in trail mixes, but those typically include other savory snacks my other half does not enjoy. I've found them at supermarket Jewel Osco once in awhile only to return to find they are out or no longer carry them. That's where Google and Nuts.com come in. A quick search led me to a one-pound bag and they were at my office in two days. They were gone, however, in one.
Exhibit D: A Special Request:
As I alluded to earlier, I am engaged and in full wedding-planning mode. My 3-year-old niece is going to be my flower girl, but at Christmastime, only her mother knew this. I wanted to find a special way to ask her that also incorporated her Christmas present. Thank you, Esty.com and your never-ending customizable selection of all things wedding-related. Scouring various offerings from independent designers (including a flask that the bride and bridesmaids could slip under a garter!), I found a lady who would make customized flower girl T-shirts complete with the flower girl's name. There were several options to tweak the design and I could pick the color of the script and the shirt. I called my sister-in-law who asked Aubrey her favorite color. While the designer didn't carry "rainbow" she did carry Aubrey's second-favorite color, purple. Done. A thoughtful gift that took less than one hour to find.

ConnieLove This!I have short,fine, pixie cut hair. I loved this product. It worked well for texturizing, then I could finger style and "piece it out". I have several pomades/clay, but they weigh my hair down. Smells nice. The spray is really forceful, kind of blasts your hair around when you apply it. Bummed that I can't buy it on folica anymore. :(Reply to this postFeb 29, 2012Link to this post
MeshIs This Like The Spray Wax?Is this like the short sexy hair- spray wax? I'm not sure by the reviews. Can someone let me know, pls? TYReply to this postOct 26, 2011Link to this post

The talented faculty and staff of the UNEs online education masters degree program delivers the most up-to-date instruction on current practices for educators who want to reach the next level.
Founded in 1831, The University of New England (UNE) is a top-ranked independent, coeducational university with two distinctive campuses on the coast of southern Maine. UNEs Department of Education is guided by a mission to advance quality of life in Maine and New England through the development of quality teachers & school leaders. Now, through UNEs online Master of Science in Education (MSEd) and Certificates of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) programs, professional educators can deliver on this principle at a national level.
The online learning environment is challenging yet supportive, structured yet flexible to accommodate adult learners. The program supports creative application of course skills and knowledge to teacher's classrooms and schools.
Master of Science in Education

"To say that the support offered by the faculty and staff is an asset is an understatement. I never once felt disconnected from the professors, program manager or my fellow students."
– Harold Zitman, Graduate UNE MSEd Inclusion Education, N. Bergen Board of Education, New Jersey
"I thought the quality of the texts used in my coursework was outstanding and keep my new library of resources close by for reference. I feel current in the area of literacy and am applying my knowledge to my study skills, classes, and my Freshman English section."
-Jackie, Graduate UNE CAGS Literacy
"For the MSEd and the Educational Leadership focus the coursework was on target. Many of the courses and coursework were applicable to my current work in my school. It allowed me to see some of our challenges in a new light and to have a new approach to accomplish our goals"
-Blaine, Graduate UNE MSEd Educational Leadership

Kumuhau Subdivision
David Franzen
The architecture takes cues from mainland plantation-style homes of the 1920s and '30s, which were often retrofitted with awnings and carports. Rebar-reinforced driveways hold up to heavy trucks and boats.
Deep overhangs and prefinished aluminum awnings shade interiors from Hawaii's hot summer sun.
The 45 fiber-cement-clad homes are oriented for solar exposure and staggered to capture trade winds. A slab-on-grade monolithic pour (carport to house) and Hi-Bor treated building pad keep termites at bay.
Solar panels clip easily onto the reflective standing-seam metal roof.
Natural ventilation was a cost-saving strategy. An open plan optimizes the whole-house fan. Living room and bedrooms have at least two walls with windows at body height, and an 8-foot sliding-glass door makes carport dining a breeze.
With their metal roofs, awnings, carports, and vertical siding, the 45 subsidized homes in this rural community bring to mind Hawaii's old plantation-style dwellings. Some of those traditional elements even helped the project earn LEED-Gold status, and targeting LEED gave Armstrong Development the edge in a competition sponsored by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, the state's largest residential developer. "Everyone else was close on price and qualifications, but we were the only competitor committed to certifying each model under LEED," says architect Daniel Sandomire.
The company took a risk, which caught the attention of our own judges. In a climate with summertime humidity topping 80%, these homes have no air conditioning; instead, a whole-house fan exhausts hot air into the vented attic. Installed and operated at a fraction of air conditioning's cost, it became one of the homes' most popular features, along with a carport that doubles as a dining lanai. "For a target clientele that likes to live outdoors, the carports make the houses more livable, and you can't be running the air conditioning when you're moving between indoors and out," Sandomire says.
Panelized metal wall framing went up in one day, adding cost efficiencies, and the metal roof surface is ideal for solar panels, which clip onto standing seams without penetrating the skin. Rainwater collects in 51-gallon storage containers, where it's tapped for drip irrigation.
The 2.5-kW PV array is slated to supply about two-thirds of each home's electricity needs. And by including wiring for additional solar panels, a future electric car, and square-footage expansion, Armstrong's designs allow buyers to stay put even if their circumstances change. "Many people were buying the home they could afford, not the one they needed," Sandomire noted of the five models, priced from $225,000 to $325,000.
