"Alexis Hightower delivers passionate acoustic soul…mesmerizing audiences with a dancer's grace." -Ebony.com
Enthralling vocalist Alexis Hightower announces her first full-length album, Girl Next Door, to be released on Big Finish Records on November 25th. Described by Ebony.com in 2013 as "mesmerizing," Alexis' chic alternative R&B sound is a sophisticated mix of classic jazz touched with the hip-hop and classic soul she grew up on. Her song writing is truly unforgettable: transparent and truthful.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Alexis was raised in California and made the long-
anticipated move to New York City during the heyday of neo-Soul, hip hop and spoken word. Her various homes influenced her distinct sound, leading to collaborations with emerging talents including Kareem Riggins, Eric Lewis (ELEW), and Saul Williams among others.
Alexis' various surroundings come together in her riveting yet gentle sound found throughout Girl Next Door. The project's intro, "We Can Do This," sets a tone of vulnerability while the rim shots in "Love Thing" cut deep and Alexis' expressive harmonies make the track glow.
Girl Next Door is an ensemble-driven, ten-track journey through the life and times of a young artist, featuring performances by Duane Eubanks on trumpet, David Bowie guitar-man, Gerry Leonard and Brooklyn-bred poet Tkalla. "This is the sum of all my parts," Alexis states. "It's all the music I ever loved and that am right now." With tracks that keep you head-bopping to a sweet, sophisticated groove, Girl Next Door is a smart, expressive engine of jazz-infused soul.
Alexis' NYC album release party was presented by iRockJazz and hosted at DROM (85 Avenue A, NYC) on Sunday, November 23, 2014 to a sold out crowd. The album has garnered enthusiastic press that keeps coming in. Look here for live tour dates coming soon.

Amen to that.
I also agree that the ecological impact of the zebra muscles was overblown. However, one can't dismiss the downside that these critters ruin lake side access. A friend has a summer lake house on one of the Finger Lakes. I wouldn't call the waterfront a beach, more like grass up to the water's edge with a rocky bottom that you wade out until it drops off dramatically. The kids would bring floaty toys out and play in the deeper water. They can't get out there now, without shoes on. Zebra shells will tear your feet to shreds like little razors.

Rachelle - I'll definitely be doing so - as for my gear right now I am going with nothing (film wise anyway) but will be visiting that camera market in Beijing I've heard so much about and settling on some sort of rangefinder - I'd love to continue with MF (in that case probably a folder) but may end up with a 35mm as I have a new d*g*tal cam which accepts m-mounts...so perhaps a leica will be on my horizon. Either way I'm bringing my always reliable Luna Pro - it's practically a lucky charm for me at this point
Also I should mention that I'm going to try to make this trip last as long as I can and may apply for an extension to my visa if I decide to stick around China. If I happen to still be around when you head out we should definitely keep in touch!!

The Indo-Pakistan tennis duo of Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi has booked a berth in the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals to be held from November 20 to 27 at London's O2 arena.
The "Indo-Pak Express", who have got a bye in the opening round of the ongoing BNP Paribas Masters in Paris, will be making their team debut at the season finale, which will feature the top eight doubles teams.
Bopanna and Qureshi have been rewarded for their consistent show this year. They pocketed two ATP Tour Titles -- at the Gerry Weber Open and the Stockholm Open -- and made the quarterfinals and semifinals of more than five ATP 1000 Masters events.
The US Open semifinalists, ranked seventh in the world, became the seventh team to join the elite list which will battle it out at the Tour Finals.
"This has been a great year for us, and we are very excited to be playing against the best of the world. All our hard work has paid off and we are glad we met the goal we had set for ourselves earlier this year," Bopanna said.
"This would not have been possible without the help and guidance of Shayamal Vallabhjee, Robert Davies and the rest of our team," he added.
Echoing similar sentiments, Qureshi said, "We had a great 2011 and we thank all our fans for their constant love and support that has helped us reach these heights.
"We are looking forward to playing against the best in London. Doing well there would be a great way for us to finish an amazing season."
The 2010 US Open finalists have come a long way this year, from being the reserve team in the battle for London last year to getting a shot at the title this year.

I liked doing this one, maybe I just like this land...hmm
1. When explorers leave thier tent to roam, which Jungle Cruise animals make themselves at home?
2. Indiana Jones Adventure awaits, and as you exit find the truck's license plates.
3. Find who's in charge of keeping time (in the tiki room)?
4. For these Adventureland activities you'll have to pay, but which one costs the most to play?
Rajah's Penny-Prees
Shrunken Ned's Witch-Doctor Advice
Aladdin's Other Lamp wishes
5. At Indiana Jones Adventure step just inside, to a stone obelisk showing how people died. These fates await those who look in Mara's eye, but which one of these is NOT a way you'll die?
Eaten by rats
Bitten by a snake
Impaled on stakes
Stung by a scorpion
6. This last question will make you take note, while waiting in line BEFORE boarding your boat. A queue-line creature is what you seek, it's animated movement makes it unique.(Jungle Cruise)

Cutter rig, comment
We have a cutter, with furlers on both the genoa and the staysail.
Big disadvantage:
Tacking the genoa, and sucessfully getting it folded thru the slot between the stays, is tricky, sometimes it gets stuck. It helps to backwind it halfway thru the tack, then let it go, the timing is critical.
Big advantage#1: When the wind pipes up to 20 knots, we furl the genoa, use the staysail and the main with one reef. The boat sails well and the helm is balanced this way.
Big advantage#2: When the wind is above gusting above 28 knots, we use the staysail alone, the ride is ok and the helm balance ok. You won't go close hauled like this, though. Basically, it's a built-in storm jib.
Small advantage: flying both jibs looks cool but does not really increase sailing speed much, except on a reach, perhaps 1/2 knot increase, maybe less, depending on trim.
Convertible Sloop/Cutter: I modified the rig to avoid the big disadvantage; I built a sliding car, like a spinnaker car, only heavier, that takes the head of the staysail, and added another stemhead fitting near the mast. We use a quick-disconnect pin at the stemhead(s). For normal sailing, we are now a sloop, the staysail car is slid up and the the staysail furled, almost vertically, near the mast. We only deploy it in high winds. So the boat is now a convertible cutter/sloop ( "Slutter"? "Cloop"? ???). Now we are normally a sloop, and tacking is easy; but we can deploy the staysail when we want it. Converting takes only a minute. I think two boatbuilders make something like this off-the-shelf, Caliber yachts, and perhaps Shannon(?), they call it a "Scutter" rig.
It works for us.

Naftogaz Ukrainy, Gazprom to Soon Sign Gas Contracts – Tymoshenko
KYIV. Oct 3 (Interfax) – Naftogaz Ukrainy and Gazprom (RTS: GAZP) will in the next few weeks sign long-term contracts on the delivery of natural gas to and its transit through Ukraine, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko told a news conference on Friday.
"We instructed economic agents – Naftogaz Ukrainy and Gazprom – to sign contracts on the delivery and transit of natural gas in the next few weeks with regard to an intergovernmental memorandum signed on Thursday," Tymoshenko said.
The contracts will be signed for at least ten years, the PM said.
Ukraine and Russia agreed on the gradual switch to European pricing for gas and its transit services, she said.
Gas prices for Ukraine will grow together with the growth of tariffs for the transit of Russian gas through the country, the PM said.
Tymoshenko did not forecast what the gas price for Ukraine could be in 2009, noting that it will become clearer after Gazprom agrees on the terms of buying gas from Central Asian producers.

SNOQUALMIEPASS, Wash. -- Interstate-90 is a priceless east-west conduit in Washington state. But for wildlife, it is a dike blocking the flow of migrating animals on both sides.
Research by the Western Transportation Institute and Montana State University, shows DNA collected from black bears on one side on I-90 differs from that collected from black bears on other. It indicates the freeway interrupts travel and mating habits.
So that group and others, including Conservation Northwest and the I-90 Wildlife Bridges Coalition, helped convince the Washington State Department of Transportation to include wildlife corridors in it's designs for improving I-90.
The result is two new, huge bridges east of Snoqualmie Pass. The bridges replace a cramped bridge where Gold Creek runs under the freeway. Remote motion detection cameras show wildlife used that smaller passageway in a very limited manner. The new bridges provide more than 1,000 feet of space for the animals to safely pass under the freeway. The discovery last week of coyote tracks under part of the unfinished project are a strong indication, say the groups, that the project is working.
Thursday, scientists waded through the knee-deep snow to see more tracks. This time they were from a snowshoe hare that passed underneath.
It's too early to call the project a wild success, but supporters say the tracks are a good start to the re-establishment of an ancient wildlife corridor.

|Fast Facts on the Saturn Floppy Drive
The Saturn Floppy Disk peripheral is an add-on to the Sega Saturn console released in Japan by Sega on July 27, 1996, for 9,800Y. The drive uses commercially-available 3.5-inch floppy disks (MF-2HD) for external storage from the console. It connects to the Saturn using the console's rear extension communication terminal. By using the included FDD software, users can copy data from the console's internal RAM. It can also be used by games or software to save to floppy disk directly. The floppy disk's set includes the floppy drive, AC adapter, FDD Operator CD-ROM and a floppy disk.
The floppy disk drive is a rare peripheral, and it's not even listed on the peripheral sheet that came with late Saturn consoles, though it was listed earlier. The Japanese version of Panzer Dragoon Saga supports it directly, as does Dezaemon 2's shooter construction kit. Although it might not have been on external peripheral lists, the floppy disk extension was in the dev kit info. In fact, anyone who used Sega's libraries (they're in the BIOS) to write savegames could have supported the floppy drive. They might have intentionally not done that, given that it would have been impossible to test without the drive, but the save libraries do support removable storage to some extent. (Internally, it supports selecting partitions, directories, etc.)

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.

Back-to-back league victories over Chelsea and Tottenham have given the Magpies' season a markedly different complexion and have gone some way towards proving Pardew's assertion that his strongest XI is more than capable of competing with the leading teams.
The 52-year-old has spent virtually every transfer window since his arrival on Tyneside in December 2010 praying the club could hang on to its biggest names.
The club rejected an Arsenal offer for France midfielder Yohan Cabaye in August and the rich form of Hatem Ben Arfa and Tim Krul could have the richer European clubs circling St James' Park in the new year.
The Gunners did not come close to meeting their valuation of Cabaye, and Pardew firmly believes the France playmaker's form for both club and country since - he starred in their 3-0 World Cup play-off victory over Ukraine in midweek - justified their stance.
He said: "Yohan's performance this week has validated what we did in the summer in not letting him go.
"I went to see Portugal and one or two of their players went for big, big money and I don't think they are as good as Yohan.
"Yohan proved that on Tuesday night - 'Le Petit Prince', he was called the next day in L'Equipe, and that's what he was. He's a fantastic player.
"It's important that we keep our results strong for keeping our players in January, but also to attract maybe one or two new ones."
Newcastle headed into the international break sitting in ninth place in the table following a battling 1-0 victory at Spurs in which keeper Krul was outstanding.
They are only three points adrift of the top six and, with no European football to stretch their relatively meagre resources this season, are hopeful of making a much better fist of things than they did last term, when relegation became a distinct possibility.
However, Pardew knows they have to maintain momentum, starting against Norwich on Saturday.
He said: "There have been many times, even before I was manager here, when this club has shot itself in the foot when it gets in a great position, and it's very important that we show the consistency on Saturday for our fans and bring a performance here that backs up Chelsea and Spurs, very important.
"We have got ourselves in a poised position, and now we need to capitalise on that, something we have not done well in the last 18 months.
"Go back two years, and we were capitalising on these positions, and that's what this team needs to bring home, that if we win, we can put ourselves right in the mix, and that's what we need to do."

Great natural product, and container is a good size for ease of puffing powder into hen house crevices! A larger refill pack would be useful too.
This product is a must. Saves using chemicals and is safe and very effective. I have used Diatomaceous earth for many years on cattle, dogs, cats, poultry, dog bedding, carpets, in fact any where where there is an infestation. I also use it for worming and it is very effective. Also good for head lice! This product should be more widely marketed.
Easy to use, multi-purpose anti-parasite powder. Stops me worrying about my chickens being attacked by nasties.
Excellent results after using in food and nesting area
I use this for the chickens and around the home! Some goes in the hamsters cage and I recently put some down to get rid of silverfish - which are notoriously hard to get rid of!
I have found the instruction very vague so I'm not sure if I have used it correctly as a worming powder, or if it has worked.
Very good, I sprinkle it in the eglu and on the ground in the run, once a month when I do a big clean out. I think it keeps it fresh and smells at bay!
This product is great value for money. I use it every day and it ALWAYS gets results!
I used DE to treat my hens for lice , and it worked a treat! I previously tried a lice powder which did not work so would recommend DE, it also has other uses which is great.
My girls are on soil so when it's time to clean out the run I spread this around liberally before I put a fresh lot of Hemcore in. It certainly does the job and I can honestly say that they don't smell, even in this hot weather!

One useful aspect of on-demand and streaming titles from Warner Archive is the chance to see obscurities that sound halfway interesting, as well as to confirm that, in some cases, obscurity is merited.
Shot in Italy with a mostly Italian cast and crew (and obvious dubbing in certain scenes), Panic Button offers several points of half-interest. Top-billed Maurice Chevalier spends the whole movie winking and shrugging and mugging as though paid by the tic, twice bursting into jaunty if unmemorable songs by George Garvarentz. It will also appeal to fans of Jayne Mansfield, who has a reasonable role showing off her assets, although this film is shot in a flat, unflattering black and white that devalues what should have been all its pleasing vistas.

Jilted lover kills 5 in Delhi shooting spree, shoots himself
Published on Sep 4, 2012 12:28 PM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - A jilted New Delhi resident upset over the marriage of his lover to another man shot her and four others dead before turning his gun on himself, a report said on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old man, named as Ravi, shot the woman, her new husband and her landlady in one location on Monday morning before travelling to a suburb to kill her father and sister, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Ravi, who had allegedly continued his relationship with his ex-girlfriend even after her marriage over a year ago, was unhappy with her family who had prevented him from marrying her, a senior police official was quoted as saying.
Parents in India often choose husbands or wives for their children, although the trend for "love marriages" has grown during the country's economic transformation.

I recall my mom and many others saying "you never get a second change to make a first impression". Right from the start things were poor.
Of the 2 people staff the front desk, one stayed on a phone, not talking, while a small line formed. She never did say anything, and eventually shrugged and hung up. Body language was "this call is more important than you". The other person was far too verbose, telling each and every guest about every amenity (those of us waiting probably memorized it by the time we were the primary subjects), even though it should have been clear we all don't need to hear about everything.
Decorating and vibe was trendy / modern / minimalist / kewl. (Not sure the right word, but definitely not your dad's best western.)
Hallways were loud, and seemed like echo chambers. (This assessment was validated when the bar rush returned.)
Rooms were very functionally designed. Unfortunately, some small concerns - bathroom sliding door wouldn't fully close (2 inch gap), small closet handing and storage area adequate only for tiny luggage, water pressure more like what you expect at an up-north cabin, mattress was the worst I can remember at a hotel in at least 10 years (maybe it was from my dad's best western).
Hoped for a nice lounge night at the end of the evening. However, hotel had booked a large birthday group (50+ people) with their own overly-distorted-loud-from-too-small-and-overpowered sound system. Why would a hotel with a cool bar allow the rest of its patrons to be overwhelmed?

Pentagon leaders defend withdrawal of US from Iraq
Tuesday - 11/15/2011, 3:12pm EST
By DONNA CASSATA and LOLITA C. BALDOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Tuesday defended President Barack Obama's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq in seven weeks, but left open the possibility for continued negotiations with Baghdad over a force presence there.
In heated exchanges with Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Panetta insisted that the administration had no choice in fulfilling the agreement reached by Obama's predecessor, GOP President George W. Bush, to pull out troops by year's end. Negotiations for a small, residual force failed over Iraq's refusal to grant legal immunity to American forces.
"The bottom line is that this is not about us," Panetta told the committee. "It's about what the Iraqis want to do and the decisions that they want to make. And so we have now an independent and sovereign country that can govern and secure itself, and hopefully, make the decisions that are in the interests of its people."
Eight years of war have left more than 4,400 Americans dead and more than 32,000 wounded. Obama announced on Oct. 21 that U.S. forces would leave Iraq, fulfilling his 2008 campaign promise.
Still, Panetta and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the panel that the U.S. military will continue limited counterterrorism training with Iraqi forces at up to 10 camps around the country beyond the end of the year.
They also disclosed more details about the make-up and duties of the U.S. Office of Security Cooperation personnel _ both military and civilian _ who will remain in the country. Some of those personnel, Dempsey said, will provide counterterrorism training inside the camps, but will not venture outside the wire with Iraqi security forces.
"This isn't a divorce," Dempsey said. "It might _ it may feel that way because of the way the numbers of _ the way the Iraqi government came to the decision. But the fact is, we will be embedded with them as trainers not only tactically, but also at the institutional level."
Panetta said the United State may ultimately negotiate a further presence for the U.S. military in Iraq. The Pentagon chief also pointed out that the United States has some 40,000 troops in the region, including in Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
"We're not going anywhere," Panetta said.
The details emerged during often fiery partisan debate over whether the Obama administration's decision to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq by the end of the year was driven by a purely political desire to end the war.
Senators, led by Obama's 2008 presidential rival, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., complained that using thousands of contractors in Iraq in place of U.S. troops beginning next year will be more costly and create a greater security risk in the country and the region.
Under current plans, there would be about 16,000 U.S. U.S. embassy personnel in Iraq, and a large portion of those would be civilian contractors handling security.
"The truth is that this administration was committed to the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and they made it happen," McCain told Panetta during a particularly heated exchange.
"Senator McCain, that's simply not true," Panetta shot back, adding, "This is about negotiating with a sovereign country, an independent country. This was about their needs; this is not about us telling them what we're going to do for them."
McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., insisted that military and Iraqi officials provided them with different information during their visits to the country. Graham said Gen. Lloyd Austin, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, told him that a residual force of some 19,000 American troops would be necessary.
Austin has said repeatedly that Iraq is not yet fully capable of defending its own air space or land borders, and that it needs help in other areas such as intelligence and logistics.
U.S. officials and Iraqi officials have acknowledged that they failed to reach an agreement that would give U.S. forces in Iraq legal immunity. U.S. military leaders said they would not leave troops in the country without legal protections, particularly considering the country's immature judicial system.
"If you're going to engage in those kind of (counterterrorism) operations," Panetta said, "you absolutely have to have immunities."
U.S. officials have suggested that they may move at least 4,000 of the troops to Kuwait.
On Tuesday, Dempsey said that the U.S. should have ground, air and naval forces that rotate in and out of Kuwait, including some number of combat troops.

Wat Photharam
Situated in Ban Tha Krai, Bueng Kan sub-district, Amphoe Mueang Bueng Kan, Buengkan province, Wat Photharam is an important temple where Luang Pho Phra Yai (literally means big Buddha statue), the spiritual center of Bueng Kan people, is enshrined. Luang Po Phra Yai is a Lan Xang style Buddha statue of 5'4" width and 7'00" height in attitude of subduing Mara. According to a story, 200 years ago, the local people moved from Mueang Yot (currently Yasothon province) to settle and cultivate crops here. At that time, this area was a jungle covered up with vines so the people clear-cut this area and found a Buddha statue. They named it "Luang Pho Phra Yai" due to the huge size of the statue.
Annual festival to pay homage to Luang Pho Phra Yai (Tham Boon Luang Pho ceremony)
In the old times, people usually asked Luang Pho for a blessing and protection against all dangers and their wishes have always been fulfilled until present. Since then, the festival has always been held twice a year to express the gratitude to Luang Pho's kindness. The first ceremony of the year is held on the full-moon day in the 3rd lunar month. Local people make merit by offering roast glutinous rice and two bee castles to monks in order to pay homage to Luang Pho. The second ceremony is held on Songkran day. People sprinkle water onto Luang Pho Phra Yai. It is a big annual celebration, in which people from everywhere come to join. The celebration is usually held on Saturday or Sunday, one week after April 13th.
Miracles of Luang Pho
1. During the Indochina war, a blaze, brighter than the light from storm lantern, appeared from a "Bot" (a building in the temple used as ordination hall or praying room) of Ban Tha Khrai temple crossing to Pak Bueng area in Laos and then crossed back and disappeared at the starting point.
2. In about 1947, the debris of Bot were removed for a re-construction. All artisans and workers are Vietnamese. During the excavation for the installation of pile foundation, they found thousands of small Buddha statues. They considered them as antique items, so they secretly took many of them away. In that night, some of them lost their mind, some got severe diarrhea or acute febrile illness. Finally, they had to return those statues to where they found and they recovered from the illness as if it had never happened to them.
3. In 1953, a girl from Ban Tha Khrai stayed with her relative in Chonburi province. One day, she was crashed by a truck while she went out for shopping and she was thrown to the opposite side of the road. Unbelievably, she was safe and got no any injuries, although her bicycle was completely broken and the truck bursted into flame. This girl only wore a plastic neck locket with a photo of Luang Pho inside.
4. In 1968, a girl and her younger sister from Ban Tha Khrai went to Ban Mak Yang Sak. They were robbed of their 45.7g weight golden necklace at night fall. They had to run back home breathlessly to tell this to their parents. Their parents told them to ask for Luang Pho's help. They could not believe their eyes when they saw the necklace which was robbed 3 days ago on the balcony in front of their house with no any scratches.
5. In 1969-1970, before the current Bot was constructed, there was a light appeared from a Bodhi tree next to the Bot crossing to Ban Pak Bueng area in Laos. This occurred every couple of months in the Buddhist day of observance and was often seen by many people.
6. Capt. Kam Mao Chanthawong living in Ban Pak Bueng, Laos, opposite Moo Ban Tha Khrai, always asked Luang Pho for his safety every time before he went to the war service. He had three plane accidents, but he was always safe. Hence, he had a deep faith in Luang Pho and donated 20,000THB to build the current Bot.
7. In 1985, I (the author of this story) experienced a miracle of Luang Pho with my eyes. After meeting with local people, we agreed to hire a photographer to take a photo of Luang Pho and keep it in plastic locket for sale. Before taking a photo, the photographer offered Luang Pho a rice bowl decorated with flowers to ask for his forgiveness for any mistakes. They took many photos of Luang Pho in more than ten different poses. After photographic processing, the photos were all blank. Moreover, the films were all dark and the shutter could not be pressed as if there were blocked by something.

(En español: Hematoma)
Say: hee-muh-toh-muh
This word looks a little like tomato, but you don't grow hematomas in the garden! Hematoma is just a medical word for bruise, or black and blue mark. The "hema" part of the word means blood, which is what you see under your skin if you get a bad bump. When you get a bad bump, the blood vessels break and the blood leaks out. But then your body goes to work to clean things up. Before you know it, the black and blue color has faded to green or yellow and then it's all gone.

Everything was fabulous. The crew were friendly, efficient and approachable and we did'nt want for anything. It was great viewing everyday life on the water and the pace was just what we wanted - easy and slow. The meal at the wine estate was the best we had on our Perth visit. Congratulations

Our Mascots
BCHAZMAT has gone to the dogs! We think "Bring Your Dog to Work Day" is a great idea, but not for only one day. The dogs have many duties here in the office, ranging from picking up crumbs, to just being cute! They all enjoy the occasional doggie cookie that comes their way.
Vinny is the resident BCHAZMAT office dog! He is a Chihuahua cross who was rescued from a pound in California, and now lives with Maegan. Vinny is from Animals In Need Society. He loves his new family and coming to work each day to keep us entertained.
Gizmo was a 7 year old Pekinese. He brought his person, Bruce, with him when he came to visit us here. Gizmo was named after a famous movie character because of a superficial resemblance, but was much nicer, even when he got wet. He was a Certified Therapy Pet (Pacific Animal Therapy Society), and loved to visit people, especially us! We are sad to report that in December 2014, Gizmo crossed the Rainbow Bridge to be with his buddy Gabe. We will all miss his cheerful face!
Gabe was Gizmo's buddy. He was such a sweet dog with the most beautiful blue eyes. Oh, and he loved the doggie cookies too! On June 11, 2012 Gabe crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. He is missed.

Lowered latency on DDR3 kits
Subject: General Tech | November 22, 2007 - 02:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Just in time for your X38 motherboard, Patriot has released their PDC32G1600LLK PC3-12800 low latency memory wich run at 1600MHz, with CAS latencies of 7-7-7-18, and they are only $560. For that price however, you get fast DIMMs that are capable of breaking 1900MHz if you relax the timings a bit, according to PC Stats' testing.
Misunderestimating the target market

The Tech Report feels that AMD has totally missed their target with the Spider platform, an opinion that has almost nothing to do with the performance. The problem as they see it is that the Spider platform is powerful with AMD CrossFire X, a AMD quad core CPU and a nice AMD motherboard, all bundled together into a packaged platform to be sold to the enthusiast in one peice.
See the possible problem with that yet?

HavokFX kicks the bucket
Subject: General Tech | November 20, 2007 - 11:48 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Inquirer has read about and announced the death of physics on the GPU. With Intel's purchase of HavokFX the likelihood that it will ever be officially supported has pretty much disappeared, meaning no game company will consider it a way to implement physics simulation in their games. Ageia is probably dancing at this news, and the rest of us should run out and pick up a quad core CPU or two if we want to see things smash prettily.
Of clock speeds and translation lookup buffers
Subject: General Tech | November 19, 2007 - 12:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The day has finally arrived, we can see the performance of a 'true' quad core processor, and the chip that will take AMD into the future ... as a distant second to Intel. Barcelona just doesn't have what it takes to compete against the much higher clock speeds of the newest Intel chips, and can barely match them clock for clock. Their price is just pathetic too ... as [H] pegs it, only $283 to the $1250 of the QX9770.

Everyone wants a faster internet connection, and there is a way to increase the speed that you may have never tried.

About this Business
- HoursSun-Sat7:00 AM - 9:00 PM
From Our Editors
Owning a tanning salon in Hawaii means having to compete with miles and miles of free coastal sunshine. That's why the owners of No Tan Lines, Alysin and Lyssa, offer much more than tanning services; they want to give each client their personal attention through other beauty-bolstering treatments, including red-light-therapy. Before each age-defying session, they consult with clients on their desires, whether it's to vanquish acne bacteria, firm up wrinkles, or improve muscle stiffness. Between services they offer clients beverages.
When they are not turning back the clock for clients, they gear their tanning services to provide the comfort and convenience not available on the beach. Each of the three levels of beds come equipped with fans to keep clients cool throughout the 12-to 20-minute sessions. Face lamps in all three types of bed get faces glowing with energy specifically calibrated for facial skin to prevent the reddening that often occurs outdoors due to the sun's intense rays or dive-bombing seagulls.

Chara to the rescue…
|12.13.08 at 8:58 pm ET
One thing a captain does is stand up for his teammates, under any and all circumstances. When Boris Valabik tried to intimidate Phil Kessel in front of the Thrashers net in the second period Saturday night, Zdeno Chara came in like a raging bull and made sure that his countryman knew that wasn't acceptable.
"It's the number one thing to be playing as a team and stick up for each other," Chara explained. "That's one of the main things on this team, to stick up for each other."
Kessel certainly appreciated it.
"I just think it says a lot about him, coming to my defense like that," Kessel said. "He's a great captain, a great guy and shows what type of team guy he really is."
Chara may have taken 17 minutes in penalties, but coach Claude Julien didn't just give Chara a pass, he applauded the message he delivered.
'It was the right thing to do. It was for the right reasons," Julien said.
"That was good by Z," added David Krejci, who aided the Bruins cause with three assists on the night. "I was actually pretty surprised because Valabik, I'm pretty sure they know each other from Slovakia. It was nice to see Z stick up for Phil."
That's what happens when your team is 21-5-4, winners of 11 straight on home ice.

Player self rated too high - what now?

Join Date: Sep 2007

Posts: 3,992
As a general comment, I think part of the problem with league and self-rating is that people rush into it too soon... meaning, don't give themselves enough time between picking the game up (again), and self-rating / getting on a league team.
If possible, I think a better approach is to play social tennis for a couple or three months first, and then see where things stand. The level of play after three months is going to be much more of an indication of what it's likely to be for the next year. And also, playing already-rated players over the first few months would take a lot of the guesswork out of self-rating.
At least it did for me. I had no idea of what the self-rating guidelines were, but I knew pretty much what my level was based on comparison with friends who had ratings.

I believe those that can help have helped every way they can or could. But yet I still believe that people are truly good inside and they don't need broadcast what they have done. I like to call it an "offensive linesman outlook" You block your ass off all game long and the quarterback/running back/receiver get the credit and the T.V. time. Some people just do without having to have the spotlight on them. They may look lets say at a thread like this and send the text or follow the link to help without having to put their name on it.
Thank You Don for making the thread to get people who may not know how.
Jessica Thank you for posting the things that we all take for granted and that these people need.
Marc & Mikael Thanks you for the Info to help the cause.
Tony thank you for sharing your thoughts from someone directly impacted by this storm.
Scott not a personal attack on you cause I do not know you or your situation but just cause people have not posted does not mean they don't care.

I no longer do test prints unless requested because after so many prints ive received in silver, I use and trust the design rules and no longer worry about the final print. By the way, the silver im talking about is the regular silver not silver glossy. ]]> SGDesigns 2012-10-27T19:27:57-00:00 Re: A strategy for a check-print? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56053&th=11330#msg_56053 Syncopator 2012-10-27T19:46:02-00:00
