Eco Roof and Solar specializes in installing residential Solar Photovoltaics (PV) for generating electricity in your home, and protecting yourself from escalating electricity costs. Not to mention, you can make a difference for the environment by using solar power to generate clean electricity in your home. Benefits of solar PV can include:
● Elevating your home's value (by as much as $20,000 for each $1,000 in annual reduced operating costs)
● Reducing your electric bills
● Helping the environment by eliminating the polluting emissions associated with fossil fuel-generated electricity such as coal, oil, and natural gas
● Becoming eligible for rebates and/or tax credits federal tax credits along with state and utility rebates, which can cover 60% or more of your system's installation cost.
PV solar systems are simple to operate. They are fully automated and have no moving parts, requiring almost no maintenance. They also integrate seamlessly with existing electrical and mechanical systems, and all it takes is a flip of a switch to start generating electricity.
Our solar estimate is free and there is no obligation to buy. Call Eco Roof and Solar today at (303) 484-9854 for a free consultation and estimate for your solar P.V. system.
Thermal System
Solar thermal energy systems use thermal energy absorbed by sun radiation (heat) and use it to heat up water or other medium such as oils or special molten salts. The thermal energy contained in the material at high temperature can be used for a range of applications such as:
● Providing hot water in buildings
● Heating of buildings and spaces
● Cooling of buildings and spaces
● Generating electric power
○ Solar thermal systems can offer several advantages:
■ Reduction of consumption of fossil fuels, which reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, combating greenhouse gas challenges.
■ High energy contribution at a fairly low cost.
■ High efficiency levels in solar heating applications, making their moderate costs a good return on investment at short repayment periods. (Depending on environmental conditions, repayment of initial investment can often be achieved within the first five years)
Solar systems can easily store thermal energy by use of storage tanks and use it when it is required (such as overnight or during cloudy periods). As a renewable green energy source, solar thermal systems are expected to grow even further with a higher contribution in the global energy mix.

Graceland, an all American, MEAT restaurant with the appropriate southern roots rock style. it has a rough interior, more like "plasterwork coming off the wall", with rough wooden benches, and is one part American diner, one part barbecue joint.
Associative thinkers would scream: "campfire!", and somewhere, either in reality, or some hidden corners of your brain you'd hear a harmonica, and a Jew's harp. But no – in reality it's the grizzly blues riffs of Scottish band Fan Rail (picture) that took me out on this Sunday afternoon.
Ribs and pulled pork are the specialties here, no steaks, no t-bones, no rib-eyes. Rural, poor man's dishes, corn and beans and bacon and potatoes. Food for cowboys. And the swamp diggers of the Southern marshes.
And the music goes along with the food. Blues, rock, bluegrass, you name it. And, of course, a portrait of king Elvis somewhere, if it wasn't a tattoo on one of the guests' back. It wouldn't surprise me.
Graceland is located on some rare no-man's-land spot between two neighborhoods, next to the Food Plaza – the wholesale market for Amsterdam food entrepreneurs. Even still – if it's not for a Sunday afternoon, and you're planning to go for dinner, even throughout the week, it's advisable to make a reservation first. Graceland is becoming popular.

N.Y. Political Party Blamed High Rents on Jews
But rent is too damn high for us, too!
In the circus that was Monday night's seven-way New York gubernatorial debate, the most amusing sideshow might have been Jimmy McMillan, who is running as the standard-bearer of the "Rent Is Too Damn High Party" (can you guess what its platform is?). Many believed he scored the quote of the night when, on the gay marriage question, he replied, "If you want to marry a shoe, I'll marry you."
But, as Vos Iz Neias? recalled, in 2005 McMillan had a specific idea of who was to blame for the rent being, well, too damn high:
There are over (25) Twenty Five Thousand Newly Rented Apartments, Available, Now Renting in the Williamsberg Section of Brooklyn, NY. as is all throughout the (5) Five Boro's. But… they are only being Rented to the Jewish People.
So maybe gay-baiting Republican nominee Carl Paladino—who, incidentally, briefly departed the debate stage because he had to go to the bathroom—wouldn't be the worst possible winner? (Besides, McMillan's own rent is quite reasonable, to say the least.) Anyway, barring catastrophe, the next governor will be Andrew Cuomo of the Rent Is Fine The Way It Is Party, also known as the Democrats.
UPDATE: Here is the Party's response.

No sign of end to Thailand crisis despite polls
By Nopporn Wong-Anan
PATTANI, Thailand (Reuters) – Thailand's election reruns
for 40 parliamentary seats on Sunday showed no sign of ending a
constitutional crisis that has forced Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra to announce he will step down.
One person was killed in insurgency-hit Muslim southern
provinces where some of the polls were held, despite police and
soldiers armed with rifles patrolling the lush,
rubber-producing region in armoured vehicles and trucks and on
Thaksin won April 2 national elections but his victory was
undermined by an opposition boycott and mass street protests.
Two days later, Thaksin — who has denied opposition charges of
corruption — said he would go in the interests of the country.
The reruns were triggered by the opposition boycott and a
requirement that unopposed candidates must have the support of
at least 20 percent of eligible voters.
Electoral officials in the capital Bangkok said turnout
figures suggested Sunday's polls could still leave up to 10
parliamentary seats empty, forcing another round of reruns next
weekend and meaning no quick end to the constitutional crisis.
Unless all 500 of parliament's seats are filled, it cannot
convene, no new prime minister can be elected to replace
Thaksin and no new government can be formed. Thaksin has
already handed over day-to-day power to his deputy Chidchai
Around half the 40 seats were contested only by Thaksin's
party and the 20 percent rule is tough in a region where the
government is unpopular. A May 2 constitutional deadline looms
for parliament to meet within 30 days of national elections.
Preliminary results from the polls, mostly in southern
strongholds of the opposition Democrat Party, showed candidates
from Thaksin's ruling Thai Rak Thai (Thais Love Thais) party
lost in at least five of the seats.
The baht currency and stock market staged a short-term
rally after Thaksin said he would not take up a third term as
prime minister, but many analysts said a prolonged political
deadlock would hurt the economy in the medium and long term.
Fear and fatigue were evident in the Malay-speaking south
where a two-year separatist insurgency has killed more than
1,100 people, despite statements from the Buddhist-dominated
government that it is winning against the militants.
Violence persisted despite heavy security in the provinces
of Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani that are home to most of
Thailand's 6 million Muslims.
Before voting began, gunmen killed one man and wounded a
woman near a polling station in Narathiwat. The night before,
militants blew up a bus shelter in Yala and clashed with
security forces.
Last week, five people were killed and 30 wounded in the
region during elections for the upper house Senate.
"No matter how many elections or by-elections we have,
violence never ends in the south," Saringkan Chuwongwuth, 66,
said after voting in Yala.
Electoral officials said turnout was under 50 percent in
some constituencies.
At least 18 voters tore up their ballots in protest against
Thaksin and could face up to 3 years in jail as well as a
possible fine of 10,000 baht ($265).
Election Commission secretary-general Ekachai Warunprapa
said 5 polling stations in the southern province of Nakhon Si
Thammarat failed to open because officials did not show up.
Polling would take place on Tuesday, said Ekachai.

Hello, can anyone tell me when is it ok to remove what look like young plantlets on my Guzmania. Thankyou
Hello everyone and a happy new gardening year!!
Can anyone help me with a grapevine it must be 23 years old but for the last 8-9 years hasn't had any fruit but has grown so much that I have had to prune it back several times a year. At the moment I have cut it back to old stems to see if that will make any difference.
What am I doing wrong??
Can someone help me please. My grapevine is about 20 years old but in the last 9 or so years there hasn't been any fruit. Also I'm not sure if I'm pruning it correctly.

Icon of latex, Bianca Beauchamp, reminds us that Comic-Con is the gift that keeps giving the whole year 'round. It may have ended in July, but the wonders of nerd-dom have not ceased even this far into Autumn. Over the summer, at the Super Bowl of high geekery, she tortured some poor souls with her Jessica Rabbit get-up. Now we have this nifty video of her hottie hijinx.
Watch as she breaks one dorky heart after another by seducing and immediately dispensing with some pretty sad sacks at this summer's Comic Con. She coyly asks them "Wanna be my Roger Rabbit?" and "Can I have your phone number?" before cruelly sending them on their way. Come for Ms. Beuchamp's lithe latex-clad funbags, stay for the looks of geeky shame and awkward come-ons. For all those shattered seducees, remember: She's not bad — she's just drawn that way.
Thanks, Vidhuntr.com

Mr_Jet, on 03 July 2014 - 12:12 AM, said:Oh so we're going there? Okay.
My thoughts on azjetsfan.
1. He's your classic whipped white suburban husband. The wife likely still has the fat she gained when she was pregnant with the kid, so that has him a little depressed. She constantly nags him and emasculates him in front of the children. He drives a big pickup truck and maybe even has a gun to compensate. Listens to Rush Limbaugh on the drive home from work, then watches Sean Hanitty before bed. Which only reinforces the misguided beliefs and opinions he already has. The kind of guy who constantly complains about "big government", the evils Obamacare, and the national deficit. But supported the invasion of Iraq and still has his Bush/Cheney 04 bumper sticker on his pickup truck.
2. He likes to play the victim and complain about how hard white guys have it in the 21st century. He thinks the only white racists are in the KKK or some group like that. He thinks he has "black friends" because he makes small talk about sports and the weather with the few black people he comes in contact with on a regular basis. So that alone means he "doesn't have a racist bone in his body" and anybody that calls him racist is the real racist. He likes black athletes and entertainers, but the idea of an educated black person in a real position of power is unsettling to him. He believes they must've gotten there because of affirmative action obviously.
3. He's a guy who thinks he knows everything because he sees himself a success because he as a few bucks and measures success based off of that alone. But thinks he should be more successful (meaning rich) and others are holding him back from that success. He wants to blame other people for his problems and thinks others are the reason he's not as happy as he should be.
This was actually worthwhile to read. I don't think you nailed AZ in this little tid bit but you kinda projected a lot of shit about yourself.

I did a 5 year bid for beating the daylights out of a 17 yr old kid that thought he was going to try to hit my now ex-wife. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't check someone's ID before preventing them from hitting a woman. I got charged with 2nd Degree Agg Assault & Endangering the Welfare of a Minor. I'd gladly do it again. Even as much as I hate the b!tch now, I still wouldn't allow a guy to hit the mother of two of my children.
Did you like stomp him out with his teeth on the curb or something? Seems highly excessive unless you had a history of assault. Even if you had a shitty public defender, it's still a crazy sentence.
Any stories from the pen? Did they have weights were you was at? How was the food? How hard was it to get back on your feet after half a decade behind bars? Also, its crazy to think but you missed out on dial-up internet. You went in, what, 96? When AOL was just starting and most folks didn't have computers and you came out when everything was in full swing. Also, were you amazed to get your first cell phone?

I hear he's a pretty top bloke as well."mfc/bp/jw

Discuss the storylines of Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, or whatever your favourite soap is, here. (Feel free to ask if you want anymore soaps added to this intro.)
Hollyoaks Later reached its dramatic conclusion last night, when, in a shocking twis, Rae Wilson (Alice Barlow) was brutally murdered by Silas, played by accomplished actor Jeff Rawle. She had mentioned earlier to the misogynistic serial killer that she was through with relationships and was now going to play the field, and that Theresa McQueen (Silas's original target) was wanting a relationship with Will, rather than sleeping around like Silas originally thought.
Warning, this scene is upsetting.
Apparently Silas's next target is to be his daughter Heidi. It was revealed this week that he murdered his wife when she cheated on him, so he could find out about Heidi's affair with Gaz. Strange how he doesnt seem to notice Mitzeee sleeping around.

By posting pictures of emaciated people to raise awareness, it is just reinforcing that stereotype so that the general public still have the idea that to be unwell the sufferer must be very thin and it makes sufferers feel that unless they look like that photo then they are not unwell enough to seek help.
I'm not asking you to eff your beauty standards, I'm asking you to eff your preconceived notions. Understand that not a day has gone by in the past eighteen years in which I haven't been cussed and tutted at and judged for looking the way I look, yet I still get up and go into the world and try to be the best version of myself.
If the young do receive praise, any good behaviour or achievement is regarded as something as rare as a blue moon. The man/woman often appears utterly astonished that someone 'so young' could do 'such a brilliant thing.' ... it is up to us, the young adult population, to 'portray [our]selves the best way [we] can' and to get our voices heard; so it no longer becomes rare but the norm.
The media is on fire with questions about whether Nicki Minaj went "too far" with the artwork for her next single, Anaconda... Amazingly, what nobody is discussing is the wider issues of the historical roots, cultural resonance and contemporary implications of a mass circulated image that arguably reduces black women to just "big butts" and little more.
For those of you who have not seen True Detectives, the series starts in 1995 in Louisiana at a time when only 2% of police officers in the whole of the US were women. Indeed as befits the time much of the writing focuses on life through the eyes of the two lead male detectives so in fact I don't think it is surprising there is not a lot of focus on strong female role models.
Every country and culture has stereotypes that go alongside it, some truer than others. Scotland of course, is no different. However, what I have noticed is that while Scotland is part of the UK British stereotypes tend to be more closely associated with the English portion of the country. It is a common mistake to think of the U.K. and England synonymously, when this is not true. As a Scot, I have no objection to being called British, but I am certainly not English.
Have you ever read something you think is so outrageously wrong you have to correct it? Well, that feeling overwhelmed me when I read fellow Huffington Post UK blogger Jack Fletcher's post entitled Feminism Is For Men Too. I'm now going to spend the next few hundred words explaining and defending why not agreeing with feminism is not the same as being a misogynist.

Richard Downey
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Agrium's 2013 Second Quarter Conference Call. On the phone today to review and discuss our results is Agrium's leadership team, including Mr. Mike Wilson, President and CEO of Agrium; and Mr. Chuck Magro, our Chief Operating Officer.
As we conduct this conference call, various statements that we make about future expectations, plans and prospects contain forward-looking information. Certain material assumptions were applied in making these forecasts and conclusions, therefore, actual results could differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking information. Additional information about these factors and assumptions are contained in our current quarterly report to our shareholders, as well as the most recent Annual Report, MD&A and Annual Information Form filed with Canadian and U.S. securities commissions to which we direct you.
I will now turn the call over to Mr. Mike Wilson.
Michael M. Wilson
Thank you, Richard, and good morning to everyone. Agrium's mission statement is providing ingredients for growth. Our strategy over the past 10 years has been to grow across the crop input value chain and continue to strengthen our competitive advantages in each of our products and services. This strategy has paid off for our shareholders and provided additional stability in times of uncertainty such that we are not dependent on one particular nutrient, input or region. And at the same time, we provide excellent exposure to the agricultural space.
The second quarter is our busiest quarter of the year as we strive to provide the time-critical crop nutrients and other inputs and services to our agricultural customers so they can optimize their yields and returns. In this regard, our second quarter results were our second highest quarterly earnings in our history and we achieved this despite less than ideal conditions for the spring season in a number of our key markets.
A reality of our business is that weather can have a significant impact on the timing and total sales volumes of crop inputs for a given region. This year's spring application season across the U.S. Corn Belt was compressed compared to both last year's record early start and wide open season, as well as compared to what would be considered a more typical spring season. As of May, mid-May that is, U.S. corn growers were almost 60% behind last year's seeding phase and almost 40% behind the 5-year average. This had a proportionally greater impact on our Retail business results than those of our Wholesale business for the first half. Our geographic and product diversity helped offset this with excellent demand from Western Canada, where the timing of the spring application season was closer to normal.
We continue to be active in our share buyback program. As of July 31, we've purchased approximately 2 million shares at an average price of $88 per share for total consideration of $179 million. In fact, over the past year, we've returned or announced approximately $1.9 billion in capital distribution to our shareholders through share buybacks and dividends. Moving forward, we'll continue to grow the business, while weighing opportunities against additional incremental return of capital.
We closed on the Australia portion of the Viterra agricultural products transaction last month. The process and dialogue with the Competition Bureau on the Western Canadian assets is ongoing. Clearly, we would like to complete the acquisition of the Viterra Agri-products business as soon as possible and the Bureau is aware of this. This process does not lend itself to making firm forecasts on a completion date, but the process continues to move forward and we now expect to close this acquisition late in the third quarter. We're committed to communicating in further detail once the Competition Bureau review process is concluded, and we continue to believe that our acquisition of the Agri-products business will provide a significant benefit to farmers.
For a discussion on how our business results and the outlook, I'll now turn it over to Agrium's Chief Operating Officer, Chuck Magro.
Charles Victor Magro
Thanks, Mike. Starting with our Retail business. Retail achieved record results this quarter, driven primarily by a higher gross profit on crop nutrients and seed compared to the same quarter last year. However, our full earnings potential was impacted by the compressed spring season in the U.S. this year and somewhat lower year-over-year results from Landmark due to a severe downturn in the livestock sector, which impacted livestock-related sales and merchandise.

Optimize UI performance
Why is it the games UI requires an excessive amount of GPU usage, but very little CPU usage? I would hope the future UI revamp includes a certain amount of reprogramming, to make the UI more efficient in it's hardware usage.
I have a pretty decent hardware setup, and yet I still struggle getting above "Medium" graphics, especially on Ground maps.
Core 2 Duo @ 3 GHz
6GB DDR2 Memory
Geforce GTX 465
To demonstrate the imbalance between CPU load and GPU load, I have taken a screenshot while viewing the "Character Screen", which is a far cry from being as demanding as the overall UI in the game. I seriously believe the UI programmers -must- take a look at this;
i think you have your logic reversed here....
let me ask you one question
when you have 99% GPU load how many frames per second do you get on that empty login screen?
The UI runs on the CPU, on ONE CORE to be precise.
When there is too much UI stuff going on, your GPU load goes down, because your CPU is too busy to keep the GPU working. (the GPU is technically starving for data to process)
what i see happening for you is, you have VSync OFF and no Framelimiter active either -> meaning your Framerate can run wild in the hundreds (more than your monitor can display!), your GPU is working at full speed, your CPU is almost idle sitting at 20%.
Now test the following:
go into the game and load your Inventory, Bank and the Foundry Mission list.
now look at your Framerate (should be very low), you CPU will be at 50% ( = one of your 2 cores is maxed out), and your GPU will be at 2 or 3 % maybe.
That is because the GPU is technically starving for data to process,
and the CPU is too busy with the UI and can not supply the GPU with what it needs.
I swapped from a Q6600 @ 3,1GHz to a Core i5 2500K with 4,6GHz per core (both were over clocked of course, i don't think Intel is even officially selling a 4,6GHz CPU yet... ) and i get a lot more frames and my GPU is running with more % because it gets more data to process.
(i have my CPU and GPU load on the Logitech G15 LCD display, i can monitor that stuff at all times)
When i get framedrops in STO, it is not because my GPU is not fast enough, it is because the UI is running on one CPU core only, slowing everything else down until it is finished.
The more UI clutter you can hide from your screen, the better for your Framerate.
The more GHz you can have on one CPU core, the better.
(the silly thing is when they start to talk about "polygon budgets" on Starships, those Starsips could be 10 times more detailed without any impact to a modern System, but the UI is the real framerate killer in this game...)
You might want to make sure your "GPU-accelerated particles" option is set to off. It is under the troubleshooting section of video settings.

The New York Post has found an editor in chief for its weekly version of the Page Six gossip column. Margi Conklin, a former top editor of the British title New Woman, will be at the helm when Page Six: The Magazine re-debuts this fall.
"Yes, I'm the editor in chief," confirms Conklin, who most recently served as the temporary second-in-command at Harper's Bazaar. A source with knowledge of the Post's plans says the new weekly will be modeled closely on the British fashion-and-celebrity title Grazia (though presumably with more canoodling).

Economic growth, reflected in increases in national output per capita, makes possible an improved material standard of living. Sustainable development, popularly and concisely defined as 'meeting the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs,' directly addresses the utilization of natural resources, the state of the environment, and intergenerational equity. Fundamental questions addressed in this textbook include: What causes economic growth? Why do some countries grow faster than others? What accounts for the extraordinary growth in the world's population over the past two centuries? What are the current trends in population and will these trends continue? Are there limits to economic growth and population growth due to resource constraints and environmental thresholds? Is sustainable development compatible with economic growth? Can sustainable development be attained without addressing the extreme poverty that afflicts over a billion of the world's population? This interdisciplinary textbook uses a blend of formal models, empirical evidence, history and statistics to provide a coherent and comprehensive treatment of economic growth and sustainable development.

As for separating images in your post, there's a little paper clip icon (between the emoticon and undo arrow) that lets you select your uploaded pictures to insert them in text. That way they don't all clump together at the bottom of a post.

UPDATE: The charges against Sims were dropped in November of 2012.
BOISE - Police officers say a 40-year-old Boise woman was likely intoxicated when she allegedly used a kitchen knife to make stabbing motions at a teen in a Boise home on West Fernwood Drive late Thursday night.
Witnesses told officers that Cambria L. Sims had become involved in an ongoing dispute with a teen boy, and that she threatened him with the knife at approximately 11 p.m. Thursday.
Officers who responded to the call say Sims appeared very intoxicated, and did have access to a kitchen knife later recovered from the scene.
Officers and witnesses say the teen feared he would be stabbed, but was able to leave the house before he was injured.
Sims was arrested and booked at the Ada County jail on one charge of felony aggravated assault.

ioSafe Solo review
The ioSafe Solo is bulkier, heavier, slower and more expensive than less robust external drives. But it works well enough, and if you need your data to survive being burned and flooded, you can put your trust in this device.
Eurocom Monster 1.0 review
This 11.6in. notebook is an outstanding performer. It's not particularly lightweight or attractive, but the specification is top-notch and the screen, keyboard and touchpad are all perfectly usable. Plenty of professionals will be keen to get their hands on this system, if they can stomach the price tag.
Orange San Diego review
The first Intel-powered smartphone offers excellent value for money, with its large screen, good battery life and NFC support. On the downside, it lacks storage expansion, runs Android 2.3 and some apps may not run on the Atom processor.
Drobo B1200i review
Network storage doesn't come much easier than this, with very little expertise needed to manage the 12-bay Drobo B1200i. It's also fast, with three iSCSI ports, lots of redundancy and data-aware tiering — just like enterprise products costing a great deal more.
Acer Iconia Tab A510
Acer's Olympics-branded Iconia Tab A510 isn't the most eye-catching of Android 4.0 tablets, but it does have a quad-core processor, a useful software bundle and above-average battery life. Business users may prefer the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T for its keyboard dock.
Toshiba Satellite Pro C850-10N
The Satellite Pro C850-10N delivers decent performance at a reasonable price. The keyboard flex is a concern, but build quality is generally robust. Overall, it's a good basic business workhorse.
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
The Transformer Pad implements a number of cost-saving measures and consequently lacks the sparkle of the Eee Pad Transformer Prime. Still, the Pad is significantly cheaper than the Prime, so you may well be prepared to accept the trade-off.
Dell PowerEdge T320
Dell has done a lot more than simply upgrade the PowerEdge T320 to the new Xeon E5-2400 processor. Memory and storage also get a huge boost, and there's optional iDRAC 7 management and an embedded hypervisor option, making this a real SME power platform.
Dell Vostro 3555
Despite a number of drawbacks, the Vostro 3555 could be a good buy if you're looking for a low-cost business workhorse. It's also the first business notebook we've seen with three USB 3.0 ports.
Toshiba AT200
Toshiba's AT200 impresses with its slimline design and light weight, but better value for money is available elsewhere. For example, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime — complete with keyboard, Android 4.0 and quad-core processor — can currently be had for a similar outlay.
Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook
Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook looks stunning, and has a good keyboard. However it's short on ports and connectors, and the display's resolution and vertical viewing angles could be better.
NComputing M300
NComputing's M300 thin client/virtual desktop infrastructure solution is straightforward to set up and manage, and also extremely cost-effective. Schools, small businesses or other budget-strapped organisations should consider putting spare desktop PCs or servers to work hosting this well-designed VDI system.
Dell Latitude XT3 Tablet PC
Dell's convertible Latitude XT3 tablet has some neat features and a good choice of configurations. However, it lacks USB 3.0 and an optical drive, battery life is disappointing and it's relatively heavy for a 13.3in. notebook. As a result, we'd hesitate to recommend it for everyday use.
Lenovo ThinkPad T420s
Much of this ThinkPad's design — and particularly the excellent keyboard — is traditional, but it packs plenty of up-to-date specs too: Core i7 CPU, hybrid discrete/integrated graphics, solid-state drive, USB 3.0 and a high-quality multimedia subsystem. All this makes for an expensive notebook, but it's one we're happy to recommend.

Gartner: Global cellphone sales fell in 2012
Saturday - 2/16/2013, 11:50am EST
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Research firm Gartner says worldwide cellphone sales fell last year, as economic turmoil dampened shopper appetites.
The decline was 1.7 percent, and it was the first time since 2009 that cellphone sales have fallen, Gartner says. Sales amounted to 1.75 billion units, meaning that one out of every four people on the planet bought a new cellphone last year.
A competing research firm, IDC, last month said that sales grew at 1.2 percent last year.
The firms agree that smartphone sales grew quickly, while non-smartphone sales declined by a roughly equal number.
Samsung Electronics of Korea is the world's largest maker of phones, followed by Finland's Nokia Corp. and Apple Inc. of the US, according to both research firms.

Protect Your Players From the Sun
Arm your players with the right sun protection to ensure that damaging rays don't cut short their time on court or compromise their health. Both UVA and UVB rays can lead to skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, and most doctors agree that sunscreen should be at least SPF 30 and protect against both types of ultraviolet rays. And for best results and the best protection, sunscreen should be reapplied often during prolonged sun exposure. Check the labels for specific protective ingredients.
Dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad, founder of Murad Inc., developed a line of specialty skin care and sunscreen products. Along with the UVA/UVB sunscreens found in the four Murad Age-Proof Suncare Products, there is the addition of pomegranate, which the company says replenishes and prevents moisture loss. Murad's Waterproof Sunblock SPF 30 (retail $25) fits the bill for more active pursuits. 800-33-MURAD; murad.com
Neutrogena Active Breathable Sunblock (retail $9.99) comes in SPF 30 and 45 and in addition to offering broad protection from UVA and UVB rays, contains silica powder that absorbs oil and allows skin to breathe. This lightweight, non-greasy covering is sweatproof, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic, says the company. 800-932-3025; neutrogena.com
The Bullfrog Waterproof Sunblock line (retail $7.99 to $9.99) offers several applications in SPF 36. The Quik Stick, Quik Gel, and Quik Gel Sport Spray contain vitamin E and Aloe moisturizers in addition to UVA/UVB protection. They are also non-greasy and non-comedogenic. 800-233-3764; bullfrogsunblock.com
The new Coppertone Continuous Spray Suncreen product line is available in an Ultra Sweatproof Sport formula SPF 30 (retail $11.99) for active players. It's oil-free, hypoallergenic, waterproof, and PABA free and provides a steady, non-stop application of product for complete coverage and protection, even upside down. coppertone.com
No-Ad Suncare products includes No-Ad Sport Sunblock Lotion in SPF 30 and 50. They're non-greasy, waterproof, and sweatproof, with aloe vera and vitamin E for extra moisturizing benefits. The bottles feature a no-slip grip along with the Skin Cancer Foundation seal. 800-327-3991; no-ad.com

"We needed a unisex baptism invite for our twin boy/girl and both names fit on the invite and worked perfectly! This invite was great and is a steal for the price. The paper, colors, preset colors and font were perfect and didn't need to be altered. We entered the information and were good to go!. A great invite for the money."
"I'm very pleased with the work Tiny prints has done with the invitatios for my baby girl christening invitations. I will definitely use them for all occassions."

LIMA — Lima may have a better chance of protecting the tank plant if it finds ways to share the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center's property with the community, consultants said Thursday.
Task Force LIMA should consider working to either lease out part of the JSMC's expansive property south of Lima or find some way to partner with the community to save costs for both the facility and the community, retired Brig. Gen. Bob Clouse of CBD Advisors told the group.
"The objective's met, and cut costs," Clouse said. "That's the goal."
Clouse worked through the types of partnerships available to a military installation. The JSMC is a Public-Private Partnership, or P-3 for short, with the federal government owning the facility but General Dynamics Land Systems running it.
That's an advantage for the plant, Clouse said, because it's already operating with a partnership. The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act opened up more possibilities for cooperation, especially if it jointly serves citizens and military. One requirement is it can't require additional funding from the U.S. government, though.
"I am sure ther are some opportunities here," said Keith Deters, the plant manager at the JSMC.
The Department of Defense has suggested shuttering the plant for several years until it needs a new order of its famous Abrams tanks.
The starting point is finding those opportunities, then working through them with a newly formed office in the Army looking for these efficiencies, said retired Gen. Matt Kambic of CBD Advisors. Officials from the military will help walk them through it.
"There are opportunities to explore," he said. "We just want to plant the seeds here."
Clouse said the Air Force has been the first to really use this newer tool. He noted successful partnership projects at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and Youngstown Air Reserve Station.
These types of partnerships do help the Army understand the importance of a facility to a community, Clouse said.
The group also talked about leasing out parcels of the expansive 370-acre property. There are already long-term leases for a park and the Veterans Freedom Flag Monument.
The group will continue to showcase the plant any time it can, including upcoming visits by several key Senate aides and a pair of generals within the next month.

Hispanic Americans
Hispanic Americans are an American ethnic group who originate either from Latin America or Spain. There are more than 50 million Hispanic Americans in the United States, making up over 16 percent of the total American population. The group is composed of people originating from the following countries: Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic; Central American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras and Panama; and Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Uruguay, Venezuela and Peru in South America. Hispanic Americans are scattered all over the United States but are generally concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast. Most Hispanic Americans speak Spanish. The classification of groups of people into the Hispanic-American category is based on their common heritage.
Hispanics have lived in America since the first Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th century. Famous Spanish explorers who first pioneered the New World include: Juan Ponce de Leon, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, Hernando de Soto, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, Gaspar de Portola and Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. The Spanish created the first European settlements in America, first in St. Augustine, Florida, and then in Santa Fe, New Mexico. For hundreds of years the Hispanic communities established by the Spanish in California, New Mexico and Texas remained autonomous until the United States conquered these territories. Following the Mexican-American War, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo granted citizenship and constitutional rights to the Hispanic population.
Mexican Americans are mostly concentrated in the Southwest, in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Cuban Americans can be found in Florida. Puerto Ricans live in the Northeast, in the New Jersey and New York areas. Many Hispanics reside in Los Angeles, numbering more than 4 million. California has almost 11 million Hispanics,while Florida and New York have almost 3 million; almost 7 million live in Texas, and a little more than 1 million live in Arizona. Most Hispanic immigrants come from Mexico, constituting over 67 percent of the overall Hispanic-American population.
Hispanic Americans contribute to all areas of American life and culture. They are prominent in the entertainment industry, in literature, in government, in the military and in the business world. Hispanic Americans have fought in numerous American wars, including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the two World Wars, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars. Hispanics display their culture via their writers, singers and entertainers. Important Hispanic writers have given the American public a sense of Hispanic belief and culture. The collection of Hispanic literature includes the works of Rudolfo Anaya, Sandra Cisneros, Micol Ostow, Tomas Rivera, Richard Rodriguez and Oscar Zeta Acosta.
There have been Hispanic members of Congress and the Senate, including Romualdo Pacheco, Ladislas Lazaro, Henry B. Gonzalez, Herman Badillo, Manuel Lujan, Kika de la Garza, Dennis Chavez, Ken Salazar and Joseph Montoya. Hispanic governors have included Susana Martinez, Brian Sandoval, Jerry Apodaca, Bill Richardson, Octaviano Ambrosio Larrazolo and Bob Martinez.
According to Felipe Korzenny and Betty Ann Korzenny, authors of Hispanic Marketing: A Cultural Perspective, the Hispanic community is a homogenous group. They write: "In the areas of implicit culture, the belief and value systems, thought patterns, psychological and sociological make-up of the different Hispanic nationalities are surprisingly uniform." Despite the controversy surrounding immigration from Mexico into the United States, Korzenny argues that the Mexican presence within America is a necessary one for economic reasons: "The United States depends on Hispanics, particularly Mexicans, for the labor that different sectors of the economy demand: agriculture, building, landscaping and gardening, hospitality, janitorial, and many other trades and services." The larger the Hispanic community grows, the more the American market adapts to the needs of their Hispanic consumers. Television channels and radio stations are devoted to Hispanics. Major satellite and cable companies compete for Hispanic customers.
Sandra L. Shaull and James H. Gramann have studied the assimilation process of Hispanic Americans within American culture. They argue that Mexican Americans in particular have not assimilated into the Anglo-American culture as their Hispanic counterparts have. The Mexican-American community is very home and family oriented, providing further insulation. Family cohesiveness is a major aspect of Hispanic culture. Many immigrants feel a loss of social structure and identity. Yet when Hispanic immigrants come to large Hispanic communities already established in places like Los Angeles, Hispanics feel a lesser need to assimilate or even to learn the language. Many Hispanic Americans send money to their friends and family in their native countries, thereby promoting a greater influx of immigration.
