The Springboks will take on an international English Premiership XV in Bloemfontein on 3 June in preparation for the Test series against Scotland.
According to Rapport newspaper, the Premiership team would contain several South Africans including Thinus Delport, Cobus Visagie and Andre Snyman.
Former Wallaby fullback Matt Burke, All Black No 8 Taine Randell and Jonah Lomu, who is currently with the Cardiff Blues, are other players who could make the trip to SA.
With the Springboks playing Scotland in two Tests on 10 and 17 June, and France on 24 June, Bok coach Jake White wants his side to have a decent warm-up against quality opposition. The Springboks' 134-point thrashing of Uruguay in their first fixture of 2005 did little to prepare the side for their match against France in Durban (which they drew 30-all) and White does not want to make the same mistake in 2006.
With Bloemfontein not hosting a Test in 2006, the Premiership warm-up is seen as the perfect fixture for both the Boks and the Free State Rugby Union.
Meanwhile, the Boks are set to play four matches on their end-of-year tour – two against England and one against Italy and France. This means the Boks could play as many as 13 Test matches in 2006.

Softball Drops a Pair to Visiting Lincoln Memorial
March 16, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Visiting Lincoln Memorial swept a non-conference doubleheader from Pfeiffer University 6-5 and 6-0 on Tuesday afternoon at Jack Ingram Field. The Railsplitters improve to 20-6 overall while the Lady Falcons drop to 11-15.
GAME ONE: LMU 6, Pfeiffer 5
Lincoln Memorial put three on the board early in the second as Joy Grills (West Salem, OH) had a sacrifice fly while Meghan LaFevor (Columbia, TN) notched a two-run double. A Heather Nobles (Angier, NC) solo home run in the bottom of the frame put Pfeiffer on the board, before Brittany Stuive (Portland, TX) picked up a two-run single in the top of the third.
Each team traded runs in the fourth as Ashley Legge (St. Paris, OH) singled home Jackie Adams (Columbus, OH) while Nobles secured her second RBI plating Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) with a double to left-center.
Pfeiffer made things close with a run in the sixth and two in the seventh, but ran out of time as the Railsplitters held on for the game one win. Waylock scored on a wild pitch in the sixth while Amber Johnson (Spokane, WA) picked up an RBI single that scored Bryttny Kreshka (Roseburg, OR) and Kylee Nichols (McMinville, OR). Nichols scored on a throwing error inside the same play as Johnsons single.
GAME TWO: LMU 6, Pfeiffer 0
In the nightcap, LaFevor took matters into her own hands tossing a two-hitter from the circle. LaFevor hurled all seven frames scattering just two hits with a pair of strikeouts improving to 12-2. Nobles broke up the no-hit bid with a two-out single in the fourth.
Devin Sponsellor (Delaware, OH) singled home Adams in the first while Stuive drew a bases-loaded walk in the third, followed by Ashley Knights (Palm Harbor, FL) two-run single to left.
Single runs in the fourth and fifth would round out scoring on the afternoon as Grills scored Chelley Christian (Kingsport, TN) with a single to center in the fourth, in front of Legges two-out RBI-double in the fifth.
Pfeiffer returns to Conference Carolinas action on Wednesday, hosting Barton at 2:00 p.m.

Saru has confirmed the Springboks' home fixtures up to the 2015 World Cup and that it will be taking over the running of Test matches in South Africa.
The Boks will face their 2015 World Cup Pool B opponents, Scotland and Samoa (as well as Italy), in a new tournament featuring double-header Test matches in 2013.
According to a statement from Saru, fans will be able to watch two Tests for the price of one after a decision of the Executive Council (Exco) overhauled the way that Tests are run in South Africa. For the first time in Springbok history, Tests will be solely hosted by the mother body.
The decision was taken by the Exco after consulting the 14 member provinces. The Exco also took the unique step of announcing the Test schedule for the next three seasons – featuring Tests in Nelspruit for the first time.
However, Saru cautioned that all matches were subject to conclusion of commercial terms with planned hosting venues.
'Saru was the only major union in world rugby that didn't properly own its own Test matches,' explained CEO Jurie Roux. 'The decision by the Exco now gives ownership to Saru.
'The key benefits will be in allowing us to plough a share of the profits back into all the provincial unions and, that by controlling the ticket office and all commercial activity in the stadium, we will be able to provide an experience for our stakeholders on a par with what we experience when playing overseas.'
The Saru statement says that the existing model had seen rugby's governing body effectively 'sell' Springbok Test matches to the major provinces. The Test-hosting unions paid a rights fee (the amount of which was dependent on the stature of the opponent) and then set ticket prices and kept all receipts as well as commercialising aspects of the match as they saw fit.
'This is a major change in how rugby is run and will present challenges,' said Roux. 'But the major effect is that it has placed Springbok Tests in the ownership of the mother body, for the benefit of all rugby's stakeholders.
'We are taking the Springboks to a new venue in 2013 and have an exciting new competition format for the June Tests – by coincidence against two of our World Cup opponents of 2015. We have also been able to map out a home fixture schedule for the next three years – something the provinces had also wanted.'
The new-look quadrangular tournament for 2013 is between the Springboks, their 2015 opponents, Scotland and Samoa, as well as Italy.
The tournament – which will be played on a log basis over two rounds to determine finalists – will open at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on 8 June.
Saturday, 8 June (Mbombela Stadium): Scotland vs Samoa; Springboks vs Italy
Saturday, 15 June (Kings Park): Samoa vs Italy; Springboks vs Scotland
Saturday, 22 June (Loftus Versfeld): Team 3 vs Team 4; Team 1 vs Team 2

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function. Algorithms are used for calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning. In simple words an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for calculations. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, will proceed through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output" and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Algotithm)

If you require further information on any of our Closed-End Funds:
There are several characteristics of closed-end funds that can help investors meet their investment goals:
Portfolio Management - Closed-end funds offer active professional management often at cost-effective prices.
Stable Asset Level - The asset base for closed-end funds is fairly stable. Without the pressure from unexpected cash flows into and out of the fund, managers can focus on longer-term strategies and participate in opportunities that may involve less liquid securities.
Market Pricing - Investors who wish to buy or sell fund shares do it on the stock exchange in a process identical to the purchase or sale of any other listed stock. All the strategies associated with stocks, such as market orders, limit orders, stop orders, short sales, and margin buying can be used in the purchase and sale of closed-end funds.
Trading Liquidity and Flexibility - Stock market listing means that closed-end fund shares may be bought or sold at any time during the trading day, and the price is updated throughout the trading day. Closed-end fund share prices will fluctuate with the market and may be worth more or less at the time of sale than the original purchase price.
Distributions - Although the amount of distributions may vary with fund performance and market conditions, distributions are paid according to a prescribed schedule -- typically monthly or quarterly -- and investors can rely on their timing.
Use of Leverage - Closed-end funds may use leverage to potentially enhance portfolio returns over the long term. By borrowing capital, the fund managers seek to provide outsized gains or enhance earnings. The principle is simple: the fund borrows capital or issues preferred shares in order to leverage its portfolio. When markets are rising and the cost of borrowing is lower than the net long-term rates earned by the underlying fund's portfolio, the fund's common shareholders will see greater returns. If the cost of leverage is too high or markets retrench, it can result in lower returns and increased volatility.
Lower Expense Ratios - Closed-end funds do not carry ongoing costs associated with distribution of shares, as a result their expense ratios may be lower. Over time, a lower expense ratio can boost investment results.
Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans - With an automatic dividend reinvestment plan, shareholders in a closed-end fund can generally choose to receive any dividends distributed by the fund in cash, or use the dividends to purchase additional fund shares. An automatic dividend reinvestment plan automatically invests all dividends received by investors in additional fund shares.

Tree spears car in Snohomish, putting homeowners in a bind
Nicole Loistl-Minkel looks over a 1985 Mitsubishi pickup Thursday that was speared by part of a large cedar tree that sheared off Tuesday night at the home of her in-laws, Brian and Theresa Minkel, of Snohomish. Theresa Minkel said the large broken section could strike their house if it falls the rest of the way. She said a tree removal service estimate to remove the tree was $3,200, but it is not covered by their homeowners insurance because the tree landed on the truck. They also must find an affordable way to remove the tree before it falls on the house because, she says, the insurance will not cover that damage either, now that they have been warned.

A few years ago an American friend asked me about opening a pop-up store in Paris, featuring something he creates with chocolate in New York City. At the time, I advised against it. People outside of the United States do have some preconceived notions about how Americans eat (many still think we all eat at fast-food restaurants), but a recent wave of magazine articles about food in America, small restaurants in Paris with America-trained chefs and owners, and most importantly, people traveling to the United States and seeing the astounding produce at the greenmarkets, I'd like to think has caused a shift in thinking.
So I was excited to see that Nunu Chocolates from Brooklyn had set up a space in the Brachfeld Gallery in the Marais here in Paris, for a temporary pop-up shop featuring their chocolates.

- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

A little over 4 years ago, I lost my job. I now have one.... so that is slightly better. However, I am making significantly less than I did with my previous employer. Having a job is better than none... I have a steady income, decent health insurance, I have payed off my car, and am slowly reducing student debt. However the pay stinks compared to my previous job and it is not enough to really aid me in working towards some goals I had set.
The fact that I got this job had nothing to do with any claim of economic recovery. Instead, it has to do with the fact that this employer got rid of a couple people to save money and hired me to replace them. In my city, there has been a very small improvement in out economy... but it has been so slow that I can't say that it is due to any good decisions made by politicians.... If anything, a few reasonable claims could be made that a few politicians actually slowed the recovery.
No longer broke and subsisting on Top Ramen. However, also no longer getting smashed and partying every weeknight, my only care being exams or a cranky professor.
I'm honestly not sure whether that counts as "better off" or not.

Seriously, though: politicians - president or congress - don't have much influence over the economy. They can't agree on a coherent policy without poking it so full of loopholes as makes it useless. Anymore, they can't even pass lasting legislation, and short term policies aren't going to impact the long term business cycle.

There's definitely a large difference in what Europeans and Americans feel is the 'center' of the political spectrum. I'd say that the center of the European spectrum is firmly planted in the left of the American spectrum. People labeled conservative in Europe are, at best, moderates, or left-leaners in the US. People in the US labeled liberal are probably more centrist in European politics.
This is probably the case.
Obama, however, has definitely cemented himself as a liberal socialist. He's made it clear that he wants a large, strong federal government that controls the resources and allocates them from those with to those without, in a massive redistribution scheme. He can't achieve what he wants, because the Congress won't go along with it, but his preference would be to have a highly taxed upper class, punished for their hard work and accomplishments, and a dependent middle and lower class, suckling at the government teat. Of course, this flies in the face of EVERYTHING that the US was founded upon - self-reliance, small federal government, states rights, personal freedoms.
This sounds like a Glenn Beck monologue
Taxing the upper income earners more than the middle and (especially) lower brackets is a pretty moderate political position considering our current system of government. Otherwise we would either be desperately short on revenue or end up with a system of regressive taxation, which is both untenable and reprehensible. Progressive taxation is not a punishment, it's just a sensible method of optimizing revenue. People who can afford to pay more do so, and those who can't, don't. There are of course bad ways to implement this (such as our current clusterfuck of a tax code) but I'm not sure why so many people have such an issue with this basic concept.
Also, "states rights" is a loaded term, not useful in this context...perhaps localized government would be more appropriate...though it was pretty much settled in the first half of the 19th century that our federal government has ultimate supremacy over state government. I will grant you self-reliance and small federal government, but the founding fathers were really only concerned with personal freedoms for the rich, white, men who made up the "ruling" class at the time. =]
All that said, I don't believe the political spectrum to be linear, but more circular. People like to label the Nazis as right-wing, but in reality, their government was very socialist, however, they pulled nationalism from the right-wing. Hence, they belong on both sides of the spectrum, at some weird vortex where shitty people meet shitty policies.
Well, I agree that the political spectrum is certainly not all-encompassing, but it can be a useful tool. Nazism [wikipedia.org] is hard to categorize and does lie in a "weird vortex" as you say. However, in practice it was essentially a form of fascism, and (though they started out with a real socialist agenda) Hitler used a different definition of "socialism" than everyone else in the world.
Well, yes, I have a wife and kids, a mortgage, a car payment.
Well...THERE's your problem!!
Yeah...if you decide to get hitched and especially if you decide to have one or more kids...well, there goes your disposable income. But hey, life is full of trade offs, and you have to decide what is important in your value system.
Personally, I've never wanted kids...I like to have as much of my disposable income for me to enjoy and party with....I've not been much of one to want to be tied down to just one woman all my life...when there are so many out there.
But again...trade offs for everything. I guess it all boils down to what you want to do with your money and your life.
Whatever you choose....deal with the consequences, and try not to bitch too much about it...I don't guess there is much else any of us can do, eh?
But I do applaud you...if you DO choose to have kids...realize that you must (unless you are lucky and quite wealthy) make sacrifices...that's part of having kids and raising a family. You have to give up that spending money for yourself, AND, most importantly...your TIME.
While that's not a sacrifice I would be willing to make, hence, not wanting any kids....if you do choose to have them, then you have to be prepared to give up these things for them.
Sounds like you have your priorities straight....so, good for you!

Yes, you will have less time and money if you have kids, but it's not an entirely fair comparison. You don't know how much happier or more fulfilled having kids will make you feel until you do (and isn't that a big part of why we do our hobbies?). For many of us (most of us, hopefully) the deal works out in our favor because we're happier than we would be if we had all that time and money to spend on our old hobbies. It's a net gain, but it's easy to present as a net loss because it's the unknown.

Baseball Sweeps King; Runs Winning Streak to Six
March 8, 2014
BRISTOL, TN – The Pfeiffer baseball team (14-7, 5-1 CC) ran its winning streak to six games as they swept both ends of a doubleheader at Conference Carolinas foe King University (6-16-1, 0-3) on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons won game one 3-1 and took the second game7-6 after taking the series opener on Friday by a score of 9-3.
Keith Little was the star in the first game as the lefty won his second straight decision to improve to 3-1 on the year. Little tossed six innings and allowed just four hits and one run while fanning six batters. Over his last three starts, Little is 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA and has struck out 20 batters over his 18 innings of work.
King took the lead in the bottom of the second, scoring their lone run of the game on an RBI single from second basemen Landon Weitekamp. Little would shut down the Tornado the rest of the way, allowing only two more hits.
The Falcons evened the score in the top of the fourth on a RBI groundout from Zach Scudder that scored Anthony Allende. The game stayed deadlocked at one until the Falcons pushed two runs across in the top of the seventh on a two-RBI base hit from Dylan Goodman.
Dylan Norris came in to pitch the seventh inning to record his sixth save of the season.
Pfeiffer ran out to a quick lead in game two, plating single runs in the first and second innings. Jon Gray led off the game with a single to left field but was later caught stealing. With two outs and nobody on, Tyler Summers reached on an error and was driven in by Allende, who doubled to left center.
In the second inning, Zac Chilton hit a leadoff double and advanced to third on Goodman's single. Kevin Price would knock home Chilton with a single down the right field line. However, the Falcons would leave two runners in scoring position to end the inning.
King would tie the game with runs in the third and fourth inning before the Falcons burst the game open with a three run sixth inning. Cole McGraw delivered the decisive blow with the bases loaded and two outs. The second basemen knocked in all three runners with a base hit to left center.
Summers and Allende added RBI's in the eighth inning.
King made the game interesting by adding a run in the bottom of the eighth and three runs in the bottom of the ninth. King had the tying runner on first base with one out but J.D. Wallace lined into a double play to end the game. Norris pitched two-thirds of an inning to notch his second save of the day.
Tyler Lequire earned the win, pitching six innings and allowing no earned runs. Josh Branch pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. as they host UNC Pembroke at Joe Ferebee Field.

Woods Earns Two More Postseason Honors for Men's Basketball
March 31, 2010
PEMBROKE, N.C. – Ten student-athletes from seven different colleges and universities comprise the 2009-10 North Carolina College Sports Information Directors (NCCSIA) College Division All-State Men's Basketball Teams released on Wednesday.The teams consist of student-athletes from North Carolina NCAA Division II, Division III and NAIA institutions. Nominees were submitted by North Carolina sports information professionals. NCCSIA members voted for the all-state teams and teams were selected for men and women in both the college and university (NCAA Division I) divisions.
Founded in 2002, The North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) is comprised of sports information professionals from NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA and independent institutions from the state of North Carolina. The purpose of the organization is to promote collegiate athletics at all schools. Membership is open to anyone affiliated with a college, university or conference located in North Carolina, and whose area of responsibility lies within sports information.
NCSSIA selects all-state teams in the University (Division I) and College (Division II, III, NAIA) divisions for men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, softball and baseball.
The first team is dominated by upper classmen as four seniors, as well as one junior, comprise the squad. The quintet combined to record a collective .716 winning percentage this season, while three student-athletes led their squads to NCAA postseason appearances.
Pfeiffer's Chris Woods, the only non-senior to grace the first team squad, averaged 22.4 points (10th nationally) and 7.3 rebounds in just more than 24 minutes per game on the floor to lead the Falcons to an 18-10 record, as well as the NCAA team statistical championship in points per game (103.1). Woods connected on better than 60 percent of his shots from the field, as well as a deadly 77.7 percent accuracy from the free throw stripe, and posted six double-double performances. He scored 30 or more points in five games, including a 32-point, 17-rebound effort against Mount Olive in which he hit on 50 percent of his shots from the field and 80 percent of his free throw attempts. Woods was also named an All-American Honorable Mention by the Division II Bulletin.

RICHLANDS — From to during the week, Mark Lunceford is an Electrical Trades and Core and Sustainable Construction teacher at Richlands High.
Once the final bell of the day rings, however, the 54-year-old Lunceford heads to the softball field.
And while he's still learning the ropes — or in his case how to give the Wildcats a spark — he knows there's a correlation between his day job and his being the new softball coach at Richlands, which has been one of the area's better softball programs in recent seasons.
"I think we stress developing skills and developing confidence in the
"But at the same time, you got to bring them together and play as a team. I think it's a close comparison, I really do."
Lunceford, a Richlands teacher for eight years, took over the softball program after coach Jay Fields retired after last season. Lunceford had served as an assistant for the last six years and he has been a student of the game since his daughter Casey picked up the sport when she was younger.
Thus far, Lunceford has enjoyed leading the Wildcats (4-2, 0-1 East Central 2-A Conference, who play host to
"I never wanted to be (a head coach). When coach Fields retired and the position was open and me being a teacher here on staff, they asked me if I wanted to step up and take it," Lunceford said.
"At first, I was a little apprehensive about it because I would have loved to have seen some new blood come in and I was a little unsure about the responsibilities. Building a team and trying to change some things are always hard.
"But it's worked out. Coaching is full of challenges. It's full of challenges, but I have enjoyed it. I think the girls are representing the community well, their attitudes have been great and the work ethic has been pretty good. I'm pleased so far."
The Wildcats feature just three seniors in Amber Wargo, Michelle Parks and Soraya Kornegay and five juniors, including Casey Lunceford, Mariah McCahan and Rachel Pierce.
"The rest are sophomores," Lunceford said. "Soraya has been a team captain for the last two years and she's shown some solid leadership, and I got some underclassmen that I'm using as captains, also.
"We still got a lot of work ahead of us, but … establishing the JV team was one of my priorities because we had not had one in a while."
Lunceford hopes the first-year JV squad will help keep the Wildcats as one of the area's better programs.
"A lot of girls play travel ball, but we also have a lot of girls who are fairly good athletes but who have never played that much softball," he said. "This year we had real good numbers. It gave the opportunity to a lot of underclassmen who maybe wouldn't get a chance to play softball."
But while establishing the JV program was one of Lunceford's goals, it's not the only thing on his agenda. He wants Richlands to win games, play the game the right way and for players to be able to take what they have learned from the diamond with them in life.
"It's always rewarding to see kids grow and mature," Lunceford said. "Wins and losses, I'm not saying they're not important, but building character is probably one of the biggest satisfactions on my end of the game and that applies to the classroom as well."
Still, Lunceford knows people like winners, and he wants to help keep the Wildcats a competitive team. Richlands finished second in the state in 2-A in 2009 and has typically played well in the tough ECC.
The Wildcats, however, have plenty to work on, their coach said.
"We coaches need to work a little harder to get them mentally and physically prepared for a game. We don't need to wait until the fourth of fifth inning to start playing ball. We have been slow starters for most of our games," Lunceford said. "We just have to build some consistency. The skill level is there, I just think a lot of it is we are a young team and a lot of nerves come into affect.
"But I'm optimistic. Naturally I hope to do well because we have a lot of talent. It's just figuring where to plug it in."
Spoken like a true electrician.

hey, you guys have been great. Like having a Mac Psychoanalyst. (Or cheeerleader?) I'm disappointed that there are not more postings from other readers/users of this site. Be nice to hear from them too. (I know you're out there, I can see the 'read' numbers on these posts increasing!)
The current problem with me PC is definately a hardware problem, this can happen to *any* computer, regardless of its brand. In another thread, dude's talkin 'bout his boutique PC, and they have a processor incompatable with the motherboard? Hmmm, that sounds like a fishy diagnosis to me. However, bad RAM, incompatable drivers, crappy on board sound devices, corrupted firmware, plugs forced into sockets backwards/upside down - these I've all seen and suffered from. Any joe wants to be a 'computer maker' can be. I love the one says: "Yeah that kid next door fixed my computer - he's a genius" I'm sorry, no, your nieghbor's kid is NOT a genius! Any monkey can take a card out of a box, plug it in, and load a disk. This is dangerous in the PC world, as many out of the box add in cards are incompatable with components, software, drivers, etc already on the machine. Rarely will someone search the system being repaired for such conflicts. They just throw in the card.
Since I'm kinda jumping in the deep end with my new mac, I think any problems will be solved by Apple, and not me. I chunked down the 300 bucks for the extended applecare, and that better be more than just phone support. But, after all on my PC woes, I am a firm believer in backup. I run almost a terrabyte of backup now. I do a good percentage of my work from my home office, and productivity is crucial to justify the time that shows up on my reports at work. (This weekend is a loss, since I'm preoccupied with my system crashes and the new mac.)
My thinking with the MAC is this: Apple controls all of the software and components that are in a mac. This, is a good situation, since they can control that all of the components that make up the Mac are compatable in all ways. From the RAM to the video, everything is Apple blessed. As opposed to the MS certified stuff, there are thousand of possible configurations and there is no way MS could possibly ever test them all. (We are the testers: "Would you like to send an error report to Microsoft? No personal information will be.....")

The Apple care is a great idea as it also covers all the Apple extras you got with your Mac for the same base price, like your Apple 23 inch Monitor, Ram, Hard Drives... And of course you can call Apple for just abut any reason related to Hardware, Software or User error. Very good value!
You are right abut people thinking they are computer technicians because they know just a little bit! They are the most dangerous, but they do keep the real techs in business
I do wish more people would post, I love reading spot on posts from people who nail their comments, I often learn a thing or two from them along the way...

The mac arrives on thursday! yippee. Serious bummer that I have to wait till the weekend to play with it. Went online this morning to check its satus and and my entire order had "cancelled by customer" listed next to all the items... I freaked! Zipped off an email to the sales guy, and he was all "relax, I corrected your order and its under another number.." Whew!
Been reading about parallels on the forum, I'm worried about glitches with it. Any of you guys have experience with it?

What kind of glitches have you read about? I've been running it since it's been available and have encountered little to no issues and with every release of it, it gets better and better.

OK.. I'm a new guy here that don't mind posting, but, I tend to display my stupididy when I do..
I'm thinking of the big switch because I have grown very tired of constant PC glitches, crashes and unkown goblins living in my box(I can here the suckers when they should be sleeping
). What has cut my last piece of cake is after 15 yrs of building my own(no.. Im not a comp. wiz) I bought my first major brand and not there cheap one..only to be dissapointed and sick, everything in it needing its drivers updated, slow when I need fast and crashes already. Autoupdates and Windows critical security updates are nighmares that I can't stand any longer.

Swampwood, you bought an off the shelf vista box? Or was this prior to vista? I'm curious, my Dad bought an off the shelf vista machine. (He loves it, but then he does nothing to really 'tax' his machine.) Myself, I just can't do it anymore. (Windows.) If I could leave windows behind entirely I would in a heartbeat. Too bad that I can't. I went at it like, if I have to buy all new hardware to run an OS that really doesn't give me anything that I can't live without, (you know, the killer app), then why should I hassle with the crap that redmond has decided I have to, *IF* I buy their OS. We'll, I didn't. Count me amongst the switchers of windows users fleeing the useless crap. I am a refugee!
John B.: I've been reading a lot on Parallels forum, and of course, most people only post to a forum when they have a problem, not when they don't. So, the majority of posts are concerning peoples problems with parallels. What I saw a the Apple Store was amazing, and it worked pretty seamlessly inside OSX. Most people have downloaded and installed parallels on their own, so it's the usuall conifurgation problems, or bad installs. But some are incompatabilities with their windows apps, or inability to access external drives and removable media in the windows OS. I need to be able to access a firewire external HD with all of my standard cadd drawings and details, a drive formatted as NTFS. I can't change that format or I won't be able to use the data on it. I'm glad to hear that you've had no working problems with the VM. Its crucial to me that it work without glitches. Although I know that I will spend oodles of time learning and playing with my new toy, part of the purpose of buying the mac is to avoid the useless waste of time that my wife likes to point out about my time on the winXP PC: "You spend more time working on fixing that computer than you do working on *work* on that computer.

I just loaded Parallels last night and pointed it to my Boot Camp as its source Windows image. Wow how cool! Parallels unmounts your Windnows partition and then Boots from it so now you can use the same Windows install in Boot Camp or in Parallels. I was also playing with the "Coherence" mode which gets rid of the Windows Dektop, just the Windows Toolbar remains at the bottom of your Mac OS X finder window, very freaky, right now I have Windows full screen on my external monitor and Mac OS X on my main. The only funny stuff I have seen so far is sometimes when Parallels unmounts and trys to boot from the Windows Boot Camp partition it wil fail to find the image? I just hit the Green start button again and it usually works the second time, no biggy.
Thanks for your support! Good luck with your wife, that can be the hardest part, getting it past the boss

The mac is close! UPS puts it about 10 miles from me right now, and it's on the truck for delivery. Vey cool. My PC took another dump on me this morning, the infamous "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTEMCONFIG is either missing or corrupted. Please insert the windows install cd rom and select 'r' for repair." Love it, seen it at least 30 times. Maybe thats what fried my HD, all the re-imaging of the drive. (By the way, inserting the install cd and selecting 'r' doesn't really do anything special for ya, so I just re-image my drive everytime it's happened.) So this morning, I get that message, and I immediately pop in my ghost disk and begin the re-imaging. It takes like 2 hours, so, as my drive heated up from the constant use, the system crashed about half way through the imaging. Don't know if I'll be able to keep that drive up long enough to image it completely. Which in the windows world means I'm f'ed for the moment. I'm gonna try to see if my sys admin has a spare drive lying around that I can use to test out my machine. But, I just need some settings from it and some other stuff, MAC arrives today you monster! And you're going to the shelf for future DISPOSAL.

You will have loads of funw ith your MAc, i don't knwo if you have been reading my posts, it is a bit daunting using a MAc for the first time, but after the first ten minutes it just feels natural (not so liek its distant cousin ( I mean very distant) the PC which **** up all the time), I have had no problems with it at all, i do need to get soem software though, I am not sure to get iworks or ms office and there is no way I am installing XP or Vista on it, the Mac does everything I want it to an more and the ease, I never want to go back to a PC but unfortunately I think i have to as I use them in workk daily, I have suggested that we upgrade to Macs, my boss replied no f***ing way.

Yeah everybody that knows I'm getting the mac today thinks I'm a nut job. They all use PC's and everything that we run is strictly PC/WinXP software. I am so peeved at the PC right now, the 'man' says he threw out all the old hard drives!!! Why??? Now I'm gonna have to go buy one and install it in the old machine myself - I hate that!
Of course your boss said no way. Costs and software availability and costs are major concerns for most employers. I suggested that my company purchase a PC for me to use at home on THEIR WORK, because I am getting the mac and don't want to deal with the bullcrap on my new, expensive computer - he snickered at me. If I didn't make so much extra money on the over time work that I perform at home, I would say "I won't do any more OT untill you provide the tools for me to do it." They would reply "Come in to the office if you want overtime." Which is basically a mexican standoff: They don't get the work done and I don't get the money. There's no way I'm spending my weekends and evenings in the office. At least at home I can do what I want, work when I want, break when I want, and I have my own bathroom and kitchen there!

Give NeoOffice a try, I have been playing around with it for about a week now and am very impressed at it's usability and compatability with MS office, The fact that it's free means you can try before you buy (or should I say buy MS Office for Mac)
Link to Article:
Link to NeoOffice:
Your new machine will use SATA drives not sure of you could of used the old ones if they where IDE old that is.
Keep on plugin, it's guys like you that open doors for others like your coworkers, over time it will wear on them and they may even open up to you and your Mac. I have an IBM server technician friend that has been giving me a hard time about Apple for years, now he owns an iMac 24 inch, he sold his home PC outright. It all started with an iPod Nano and iTunes.
Get them using iTunes, The first one is alwasy freeeeeee

Wow, uh, yeah. Without a doubt, it is one sweet machine. Last night was a trip. YES! Just opening the boxes was a joy. You are so right when you say apple has a way of packaging stuff that it is truly enjoyable to unpack it. (Although, when macmall repacked my box after doing my BTO, they busted some of the styrofoam packing, and had a million little pieces of the crap stuck to everything in the box.)
Some things are different than I expected upon my setup, I believe because macmall had to install my windows and parallels. (And oh, they stuck this stupid big ugly windows license sticker on the side of the macpro's case, which I can't get off.) When I booted up the first time I expected it to go through a setup process for the internet and for me to create and admin & a user account for myself, which it didn't. So, I have to get myself set up with a user account for me, and a admin account for me to use. I have not been able to connect to the internet. Which really was my first priority when I got it set up. I don't think it's the mac's fault, or that there is a problem with my connection, I think I need to just correctly set up my camcast account for the new computer.
I called comcast last night at around 10:30 to get server info and passwords from them for that setup, but as soon as I mentioned "It's a MAC." the girl started stuttering and giving me the run around, and trying to tell me this "is how vista does it..." Obviously, she has not been trained for anything but the deluge of callers they have switching over to vista. So, I was like "look, just give me the mail server names and password, and the news server name and passwords, and I'll figure it out." Well, the Mac wants a little more info than that. I'm not sure if I connect by way of TCP\IP or PPPoE, or DCHP or what. At the very LEAST, this girl should have clued me in on that. Now when I get home today, I'm going to have to call back, and ask for someone to walk me through the setup. I absolutely must have a connection to the net. If my old computer would not have died, I would copy these settings from it, but I can't even get the thing to stay alive long enough to re-image the drive. So, I need the twit at comcast to help me out. Unfortunately, tonight I have a 25th anniversary party to attend, which I can't get out of...
Took me a while to figure out why it would not play sounds from my speaker system, gee, I gotta tell it to do that.
Have not hooked up my scanner or external HD's yet, I'll get around to it. My Logitech wireless USB 3 button mouse works no problems. I was gonna hook up the apple mouse, but that thing is just weird. As far as I can tell, my mpeg coverter won't work with it either, which bums me out 'cause it cost me like a hundred bucks, just less than a year ago. I have to get my analog video into it somehow, so I'm going to have to spend some more money on a converter that is mac compatable.
I found some older software that I had which was mac/windows versions, but I think it's from a time when mac was running like on OS8 or 9, will it work with the OS X? Like will that rosetta you guys talked about make these old programs work? Is rosetta part of OS X? or Do I have to buy it? I have one program from way back, "Art Dabbler" which is a painting program, it's actually Mac OS/Win98, you think it will work? I got a wacom pad too, and this would be cool to try it out on.
The computer is so so so quiet, I can barely tell when it's running. Very beautiful too, all the connections, the ports, the inside!! My gosh, its like "so this is what it's
to be like!" I am very pleased with it. My old PC sounds like a herrier jet taking off. So loud I can't hear anything else, but this is silent. I really need the internet though, so I can ask you guys questions when they arrise, and get to the knowledge base and stuff.

gamerating.co.uk - iPhone App. Five Stars.
The app is everything it says it is and more. Like many iPhone users out there It's hard not to use an app for every part of my day to day life, but when it comes down to it, this is one of the most precise and accurate apps out there in the travel/directions suite. TomTom could have priced this App at double the selling price it is today and I still would have been satisfied with my purchase, it is good value for money. Magnificient, magical and faithful. It's always got me to the correct destination.

First off...uh, what? If you meant to say "this game is good", well, that's the most positive way an optimist could describe this game while maintaining credibility. Not great, not excellent, not a masterpiece- just good. And that's if they were somehow able to overlook the achille's heel of the game part of the game- the execution of Things and Thing stickers.
Second of all, I reviewed this game. I plan to review more games in the future. Many others have also done the previous 2 sentences. And there is nothing you can do to stop us.

Yeah... way too many people on this board search for subjective flaws rather than looking at the objective successes of this game. Granted, there's going to be a wide variability in review scores regardless, but there's a point where you cross from making objective criticisms (e.g., little story, boss problems, etc.) to subjective hatred (battles are repetitive, coins aren't an incentive, etc.).

CHERRYVILLE — Ashley Mull and her South Point senior teammates had one last chance to go out with a bang in the Bud Black/Dennis Tate Holiday Classic.
A hot start and a strong finish helped make that possible as South Point held on for a 66-59 victory over Bessemer City for the tournament championship Saturday at Cherryville's Nixon Gym.
Mull scored 26 points on her way to most valuable player honors as South Point won its fourth title in eight years after losing to Cherryville by two points in last year's title game.
"It's my senior year, and we lost last year and it didn't feel good," Mull said.
Mull, a 5-foot-4 guard, finished the tournament with 83 points over three games, including a career-high 36 in the semifinals. Mull also dished six assists in the championship game and went 10-for-12 from the foul line, including 6-for-8 in the final 1:06 to help seal the outcome.
Asia Jackson added nine points while Haley Stewart, Graylin Heustess and Chrissy White scored eight points each for South Point (11-1). Blair Griffin added seven points for the Red Raiders, who led by as many as 14 in the first half but had to withstand a Bessemer City rally.
"Bessemer City played well," South Point coach Scott Tudor said. "They slowed it down. We like to play a little bit more up-tempo and they had to a crawl. But we're happy."
The Yellow Jackets scored the first eight points of the second half to cut their deficit to 39-36. Bessemer City never got any closer but South Point couldn't pull away.
South Point previously won the tournament in 2005, 2007 and 2010.
"It just validates what we try to do," Tudor said. "We work hard and try to do things right, try to develop the players, the team and the program. It's one of the things that we circle on the calendar."
Tierra Dameron and Madison Carter scored 18 each for Bessemer City (5-4), which was making its first title appearance since winning the tournament three straight times from 1996 through 1998. The Yellow Jackets host Davidson Community on Wednesday.
Third-place: Hickory Grove 55, Cherryville 34 — Anna Parsons scored 12 points to lead Hickory Grove. Latiya McDowell and Jacquilla Burris scored 12 each to lead Cherryville (2-10), which resumes conference action with a trip to North Lincoln on Friday.
Fifth-place: Castlewood (Va.) 61, Chase 41 — Korey Purtee and Lexie Kennedy scored 11 each for Castlewood.
Seventh-place: Hunter Huss 49, Thomas Jefferson 25 — Jalaah Crosby scored 27 points as Hunter Huss snapped a 41-game losing streak. The Huskies (1-12), who hadn't won since Jan. 21, 2011, against North Gaston, outscored Thomas Jefferson 20-6 in the second
quarter for a 26-10 halftime lead. Nicole Knox and Cierra Lipscomb added six points each for Hunter Huss, which hosts Crest on Jan. 8.
Boys third place: Cherryville 77, Castlewood (Va.) 75 — Kenny Poston scored 20 to lead three Cherryville players in double figures as the Ironmen bounced back from Friday's semifinal loss. Brandon Warren added 14 points and Nick Corbett scored 13 for the Ironmen (7-5), who had competed in the previous 17 championship games. Cherryville travels to North Lincoln on Friday in a Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference game.
Dylan Trent scored 24, Tyler Austin 19 and Reid Edmonds 18 to lead Castlewood (5-5), which traveled four hours to compete in the tournament.
Fifth-place Australia A 63, Thomas Jefferson 47
Seventh-place: South Point 60, Australia B 53 — Deonte Gaston, John Chavis and Tanner Muse scored 12 points each as South Point (1-10) took seventh place and picked up its first win of the season. Dan Johnson added nine points for the Red Raiders, who resume conference action Friday at Forestview.

Why using BTM
There are two different arguments here:
- Why would I need a transaction manager ?
- Why using BTM and not insert your favorite TM here ?
Why would I need a transaction manager ?
If you either use two databases (or more) in your application or you use both a database and JMS then you need a transaction manager. Some people will argue that you can do without one even if you fall in on of those two cases. They are true: it is possible to have a transaction span two resources (like JMS and JDBC) by writing so-called idempotent methods manipulating these resources and some simple error recovery logic.
The fact is that it is usually harder to write idempotent methods and you also have to write some recovery logic to handle crash cases. It is more or less easy to write code that makes sure the information gets registered at least once. Idempotent methods make sure that in case they got called twice (because of a retrial after a crash) data will be safe anyway.
Why would you have to accept those constraints when you can get free of them ? And why would you have to be careful about low-level logic in your code when you can delegate it to an component specialized in this task ?
Would you write your own web framework or your own ORM nowadays ? Neither would I. It is the transaction manager's job to make sure consistency is kept across disparate resources, not yours.
Why using BTM and not insert another TM here ?
In short: because it is complete and easy to use.
BTM has been tailored to support only the most common scenarios: XA with JDBC and / or JMS. It's internal logic is kept as simple as possible to only support them. On the other hand, great care has been taken to make those scenarios working as best and as easily as possible. BTM also fully supports crash recovery thanks to its disk logger.
You might need more than what BTM proposes, like JCA Connectors support or JTS. In that case you should look at other available products.

Test ID: FEUR
Iron, Random, Urine
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinemia, and impaired biliary clearance (limited value).
Note: The preferred specimen for assessing urinary iron excretion is a 24-hour urine specimen.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Iron is an essential element, serving as an enzyme cofactor and facilitating oxygen transport. Iron is cleared primarily by biliary excretion via the feces and secondarily by renal clearance, which is a relatively minor route of clearance. Excessive accumulation of iron in iron-overload diseases leads to higher than normal urine concentration of iron, known as hemosiderinuria.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-15 years: not established
> or =16 years: 100-300 mcg/L
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Normal excretion of iron occurs at the rate of approximately 100 mcg/L to 300 mcg/L. In the event that dietary iron is below minimum daily requirements (<2 mg/day in females, <1 mg/day in males), urinary excretion will be less than normal.
Urinary iron is greater than normal in iron overload. It is not uncommon to observe iron excretion >20,000 mcg/L in a patient with clinically evident hemochromatosis. Daily urine output of iron ranging from 500 mcg to 5,000 mcg suggests active hemolytic anemia, early-stage hemochromatosis, or impaired biliary clearance.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Because iron elimination undergoes extreme diurnal variation (serum levels 10 times higher in a.m. than p.m.), results from random urine specimens can be very misleading and are of limited value; 24-hour specimens are preferred.
High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

There are a number of problems that affect the oral health of children, including tooth decay, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, lip sucking, and early tooth loss. Even though baby teeth are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, keeping baby teeth healthy is important to a child's overall health and well-being.
Baby bottle tooth decay
Reader Stories
Baby bottle tooth decay (also called early childhood caries, nursing caries, and nursing bottle syndrome) occurs when a baby's teeth are in frequent contact with sugars from liquid carbohydrates, such as fruit juices, milk, formula, fruit juice diluted with water, sugar water or any other sweet drink. Human breast milk can cause tooth decay as well. As these liquids break down in the mouth into simple sugars and are allowed to sit in the mouth, bacteria start feeding on the sugars, causing tooth decay.
If left untreated, decayed teeth can cause pain and make it difficult to chew and eat. Also, baby teeth serve as "space savers" for adult teeth. If baby teeth are damaged or destroyed, they can't help guide permanent teeth into their proper position, possibly resulting in crowded or crooked permanent teeth. Badly decayed baby teeth could lead to an abscessed tooth, with the possibility of infection spreading elsewhere.
