So my Dell 3007WFP 30" 2560x1600 is giving me some grief lately... it's ghosting images when closing windows and I've noticed in gaming the movement is blurred sometimes, starting to mess with my eyes.
So I don't have the cash for another 30" Dell since they are around $1100....
I am considering the following 2 monitors, because of the price and because they are on Amazon Prime. I'd rather spend $3.99 to ship it overnight then go somewhere else and spend $35 for shipping.
^Doesn't seem bad... isn't IPS but has good reviews, and a low refresh rate of 1ms (so it claims) or this one
is IPS, but goes up to 7ms refresh rate.
I know I am losing a ton of space by going from 16:10 2560x1600 to 16:9 1920x1080, but which one seems better of the two and on top of that, do you have a third monitor to recommend that would be on Amazon Prime?

When you bought a Motion car, you were going all-out. Nobody in the supercar game was doing what Motion Performance was doing. Motion cherry-picked the best factory parts, added the best aftermarket parts, then dyno tuned each car to make sure that when it was delivered to the customer, it was at the very peak of its game.
The flipside of that deal is it took some pretty serious money to buy a turnkey Motion car. They were genuine exotics and had the price tag to match. The Motion customer had to swing not only a new Corvette, but also the price of Motion's conversion and the killer insurance premiums to keep it registered. Not everyone could pull off such a deal.
Another way to tap into the Motion mystique was to go through their catalogs and roll-your-own Motion Corvette. This made more sense to guys with limited funds. They could Motion-ize their ride one paycheck at a time. That's what the original owner of this '68 Corvette had in mind.
He lived in Philadelphia and bought this Rally Red '68 Corvette with a 427 Tri-Carb and four-speed. He drove it in stock trim while he was making payments, then after that last one was mailed off, he ordered a load of equipment from Motion.
"He always loved the Motion cars," said current owner Jamie Jarvis of Jonesboro, Arkansas, "but he was just a working guy, so he ordered the conversion kit from Motion and had it installed at a shop there in Philadelphia to convert the car to a Phase III. That was in 1973."
For the next three years, owner No. 1 enjoyed driving and racing a very hot Corvette. In 1976, he sold it to the second owner with 32,000 miles on it. Owner No. 2 racked up only 4,000 miles on it over the next two years, and in 1978, he parked it in his driveway. The engine and transmission were removed and placed on the driveway next to the car, and there it sat for the next 25 years until 2003.
Those 25 years of exposure to sun, rain, and snow didn't do anything to improve its condition. Jamie found it one day while surfing for Corvettes on eBay. "When I got the car it had no paint on it, and the motor and transmission were sitting next to the car. It was in really bad shape and had been banged up in several spots," Jamie recalls. "But it was amazingly complete. It still had all of the Motion pieces with it. It was all in rough shape but they were all there." Jamie thinks most of his Motion-enthusiast friends must have been lying low that week because he was able to buy the car pretty reasonably.
Once Jamie got the car home, he went to work on it right away, working on it after work and on weekends. Because it was complete, he didn't have to do a lot of searching for parts, but one original item that did have to be replaced was an Ansen Sprint front wheel. Years earlier, a previous owner had an encounter with a curb and came out on the losing end. Pieces of the broken wheel were still in the rear of the car.
As the restoration took place, Jamie began trying to get in touch with the original owner. The guy he bought it from had a vague recollection of his name and address, and a call to directory assistance jogged his memory. Jamie called that number and was referred to the guy's nephew. The nephew turned out to be the original owner and was beside himself to learn that his car had survived and was being restored. He had some great tales to tell about its speed and power. He said it was never beat in a street race. A cousin went so far as to buy a '70 Hemi 'Cuda to beat the Corvette. He could not beat it and ended up selling the Hemi 'Cuda to Ronnie Sox. He also said he threw the original Tri-Carb away because he could not get it tuned. he had some old photos of the car's early days, including its conversion, and he promised to try and recover them from storage. In the meantime, he was helpful in answering questions about some of the restoration details.

ACKERMAN – It was win or go home Tuesday night inside the Ackerman High School gym.
The No. 3 Eupora boys' basketball team did just that with a 82-52 win over No. 6 Ackerman in the Class 2A, Region 5, District 4 tournament.
The Eagles set the tone early, starting the game on a 17-0 run to establish the tempo of the game.
"We have been trying to set the tone the last two weeks of the season," said Eupora head coach Bryant Thomas. "It has kind of been the story all season, especially the last three weeks, we have been jumping out. I told them we needed to start strong and finish strong for once. They took a stand and went out there and played hard."
The game looked to be noncompetitive after the first quarter as the Eagles held a 21-6 lead, but the Indians answered back.
They went on 13-4 run to pull within 11 at 30-19. The Eagles went on their own 5-0 run to push the lead back out at 35-19.
Ackerman finished the half hot with an 11-3 run to cut the lead down to single digits at 38-30.
"The pick and roll was working," said Ackerman head coach Shaston Coleman. "We were going to try and get them in foul trouble. We were trying to get it in the paint."
That was as close as the Indians got, as the Eagles came out in the second half on a mission.
"We had some guys in foul trouble and we had some younger guys in the game," Bryant said. "I told them at halftime that you younger guys get in the game you have to hold the ropes. Eventually we got back in it and turned it up again."
The Eagles limited the Indians to only 13 points in the third quarter as they scored 24 themselves to take a 62-43 lead into the final frame.
"I think it just got away from us," Coleman said. "l think my guys got flat. We didn't get shots. We missed shots and layups. I just think we kind of ran out gas there at the end. As the lead increased, I think they got a little discouraged. It has been that way up and down all year. (We) made a run at them just fell short."
The Indians were led by Matthew Davis with 18 points. Lenny Taylor chipped in 11. Ackerman concluded the season with a 6-13 record.
Derrick Jones led all scorers and Eupora with 27 points. Trey Pittman added 13, Devin Simmons chipped in 12 and Randall Cunningham got in double digits with 11 points.
The Eagles improved to 7-14 for the year and will play again Thursday at 5:30 p.m. against the No. 2 seed Greenville St. Joseph.
Girl's Game
No. 4 East Webster 64,
No. 5 Ackerman 39
ACKERMAN – For the second time this season, the Lady Wolverines stormed into Ackerman and beat the Lady Indians on their own home court.
This time it was for the right to continue a season.
The Lady Indians kept it interesting in the first quarter. They jumped out to 5-4 lead before East Webster went on an 8-0 run to push its lead out to 12-5. The teams traded baskets for the rest of the quarter and the Lady Wolverines took a 19-16 lead.
Ackerman scored the first three points of the second quarter and made it all even at 19 each. The Lady Wolverines went on a 15-0 run to end the half and took a 34-19 lead into the locker room.
"We always come out a little shaky on defense," East Webster coach Mandy Jewell said. "I think we settled in and started playing our game. We changed defenses a few trips down the floor and had a few steals on them. I think that helped us get a little more relaxed and we were able to go back to our 2-3 zone and stopped them with that."
The Lady Indians did not have much of an answer in the second half as the Lady Wolverines stretched their lead to 47-29 before entering the final frame.
"We tied it up 19 all and then we missed three or four easy shots and we gave them to many rebounds on the inside," Ackerman head coach Gary Beals said. "They have two good post players on the inside. Difference in the game was rebounding and us not making a couple of plays. They got a good ball club. They played inside-out tonight very well. They hit some key shots and made some shots inside."
East Webster turned on the defense as it has all year.
"We didn't really change anything," Jewell said. "We stayed back in a 2-3 zone. I got to play my second group a lot (Tuesday) and I think that helps keep fresh legs on that first group. That makes a difference at the end of the game when they have rested throughout the whole game to play defense because they have fresh legs."
The Lady Indians were led by Bridgette Robinson with 15 points. Iasia Lee added 14 points. Ackerman ended the season with an 8-10 record.
Quantesha Patterson led the Lady Wolverines and all players with 26 points. Katesa Dear added 14 points.
East Webster improved to 15-11 for the season. They will play No. 1 William Sullivan on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Girl's Game
No. 3 Greenville St. Joseph 49,
No. 6 Eupora 19
ACKERMAN – The Lady Eagles struggled to find themselves offensively.
The Lady Bruins held a 28-15 lead entering the fourth quarter. The Lady Eagles cut the lead down to 12 at 30-18, but St. Joseph went on a 14-0 to stretch its lead back out at 44-18.
The first points for the Lady Bruins came with 4:47 remaining in the second quarter when they made a pair of free throws.
"That has given us the most trouble all year," Eupora head coach Curtis Ford said of the offense. "We haven't been able to shoot, pass, dribble and rebound. That is where the ballgame is."
The Lady Bruins scored the first 12 points of the game and lead 8-0 after the first quarter.
The Lady Eagles scored three points in the second quarter and entered halftime trailing 16-3.
The Lady Eagles had a better showing offensively in the second half. Eupora scored its first field goal, a 3-pointer, with 5:55 remaining in the third period to cut the lead down to 18-6. It followed up the trey with another basket for their first back-to-back baskets of the game.
"I told them at halftime that basketball is not about Xs and Os so much as it about fundamentals," Ford said. "That was how we were getting beat with the turnovers and forcing our bad shots and being over anxious. That is where it has been most of the year."
St. Joe was lead by Corbin Divinity with 18 points. They will play the No. 2 seed Pisgah Thursday at 4 p.m.
Jaliyah Patterson lead the Lady Eagles with 10 points. They finished the year with a 6-13 record.
Boy's Game
No. 4 East Webster 52,
No. 5 Pisgah 27
ACKERMAN – The Wolverines used good defense and a couple of lengthy runs offensively to send the Dragons packing for the year.
East Webster opened up the game on a 6-0 run and never gave that lead away. They entered the second quarter ahead 15-4.
The Dragons kept it interesting in the second quarter cutting the lead 21-17 before the Wolverines went on a 10-0 run to push their lead out to double digits at 27-17 at the intermission.
"We lapsed in the second quarter defensively," East Webster head coach Corey Stidham said. "We got it out in transition and got some rebounds and some stops. We made a little run to get a little lead right there before half."
The defense picked up for the Wolverines in the second half. The Dragons managed to score only two points in the third quarter and East Webster stretched its lead out to 38-19 entering the final frame.
"We challenged them at half," Stidham said. "You gave up four points in the first quarter and you lapsed in the second quarter. We can't do that. We had a foot on their throat and you got to finish it off. And they stepped up third quarter and I think they gave up two points. The way we have to win is defend and rebound."
Charles Guyton led East Webster with 17 points. Darius Dear chipped in 10 points.
The Wolverines improved their record to 10-15 for the season. They will play Thursday night against No. 1 William Sullivan at 8:30 p.m.

You are Linda Hegg. Your home state is Delaware. You have a degree in linguistics and served time in the military. You are the subject of a three-month missing persons search and it's time to go home.
If someone told you this, it would sound as foreign and unreliable to you as it did to the 56-year-old woman living in a Toronto homeless shelter. Only for Linda Hegg it was true.
Three months ago, she arrived at a Canadian shelter with $20, a paper bag stuffed with shredded paper, and only the knowledge of her first name. Who she was and how she got there was as much a mystery to case workers as it was to Hegg herself.
On Tuesday, Toronto police pieced together Hegg's identity with the help of concerned family members and an anonymous web sleuth, who linked Hegg's online trails to the missing persons report. Hegg, a former Naval Officer, had traveled to Canada by bus with an expired passport, according to the Toronto Star, and walked into a Toronto homeless shelter where she remained until this week.

How To Make Halfway Cookies
Chewy cookie on the bottom, marshmallow-like meringue on top, and a rich layer of chocolate sandwiched in between - these halfway cookies have got to be one of the best inventions ever! The recipe has been around for decades and we often find it in old church and community cookbooks. The only problem is that some of the instructions are unclear or have gotten scrambled over the years, and that makes it rather hard to follow along. An updated version is definitely in order!
What You Need
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar, separated
2 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
9x13 baking dish
aluminum foil
parchment or wax paper
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut two pieces of aluminum foil and fold them to match the width of the pan. Press one piece into the pan lengthwise and the other into the pan crosswise with the ends hanging over the sides of the pan, like this. This makes it easy to lift the bars out of the pan once they're cooled. Spray the foil with nonstick coating.
2. Make the Cookie Dough: Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl and set aside. Using a standing mixer, a hand mixer, or by hand, cream together the butter, the granulated sugar and just 1/2 cup of the brown sugar until this looks like smooth frosting.
Separate the eggs, reserving the whites. Mix the yolks into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time until they are completely absorbed, then mix in the water and vanilla. With the mixer at a low speed, add the flour mixture and beat gently until all the flour has been absorbed and the dough looks crumbly.
3. Add the Cookie Layer: Press the cookie dough gently into the pan with your hands, making sure the surface is even.
4. Add the Chocolate Layer: Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough and use your palms to press them slightly into the dough. This will help keep them from moving when you add the meringue.
5. Make the Meringue: Using a stand or hand mixer with a clean bowl and a clean whisk attachment, start whisking the egg whites. Gradually increase your speed to medium-high. When the egg whites are very frothy and look like loose foam, start adding the remaining cup of brown sugar a little at a time. Continue increasing your speed to the highest setting. When all the sugar has been added, continue whipping the meringue until it holds a soft peak. It should look like glossy, soft-serve ice cream.
6. Spread the Meringue on Top: Scoop the meringue down the middle of the pan. It will be very sticky! Use a spatula to gently spread the meringue from the middle to the edges. We found it helpful to skim meringue from the top and gradually push it outward.
7. Bake the Bars: Lightly press a piece of parchment or wax paper on the top of the meringue (this makes an even layer and protects the meringue from scorching). Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment. Continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the edges look toasted and are pulling away from the sides of the pan.
8. Allow to Cool: Wait until the pan is completely cook before lifting out the bars and cutting them into pieces.
Additional Notes:
• To make a crunchier meringue layer, use granulated white sugar instead of brown sugar and beat the meringue until it forms firm peaks.
• You can also reduce the amount of sugar in the meringue down to 1/2 cup (minimum) if desired.
• Other ingredients can be used in place of or in addition to the chocolate chip layer! Consider things like butterscotch chips, nuts, toffee bits, dried fruit, and fruit preserves.

The OPEN Beta is here!
Dunno about other systems, But just go on the XBOX marketplace and download it for free (1.6gb or so).
Metro Map on Rush Mode.
Bad company 2 is my fav shooter, So I've been looking forward to Battlefield 3.
Looks like they stepped up the realism ALOT, And the beta map is pretty huge. There is a new game engine from the previous game (Frostbite 2).
It's a little disorienting at first, You dont actually know where your enemies are (as it should be) and your vision is impaired by your surroundings (realism).
I like it alot!

U.S. (10/30/13) – Spanning the line between fall and winter, life and death, Halloween is a time for celebration and superstitions. Halloween is believed to have originated from a Celtic Festival called Samhain, where people would dress up in costumes and build bonfires to ward off roaming ghosts.
The Celts celebrated their new year on Nov. 1, which marked the end of their summer and the beginning of the dark, cold winter and a time associated with death. The Celts also believe that the night before the new year, the edge between the living and the dead became distorted. They believed that on the night of Oct. 31, the ghosts had risen from the dead to roam the earth. The Celts celebrated Samhain. During the celebration, they wore costumes that mainly consisted of animal heads and skins and would attempt to read their fortunes.
The Celts were worried the Druids would take the presence of spirits and "predict" the future. For those who were dependent on the unstable natural world, the prophecies that were made were an important source of comfort and direction during the cold long winter. To commemorate the celebration, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people would gather to sacrifice animals and burned crops to the Celtic deities.
When Halloween came to America, the celebration was very limited in colonial New England because of the Protestant belief system. Halloween was more common in Maryland and the southern colonies. As beliefs and customs of different European ethnicities as well as the Native Americans merged, a new American version of Halloween began to transpire.
Some of the very first celebrations included "play parties," which consisted of public events that celebrated the harvest, where people would share their stories of the dead, tell each other's fortunes, and sing and dance. Other festivities also included telling ghost stories and mischief-making. Even though by the middle of the 19th century, annual autumn festivities were common, Halloween was not celebrated throughout the country just yet.
By the mid-19th century, America became flooded with immigrants, especially the Irish fleeing from the Ireland potato famine, which helped to popularize the Halloween celebrations nationally. Taking from both Irish and English traditions, Americans began to dress up and go house to house asking for money and food, which would later be known as today's "trick or treat" tradition.
As the late 19th century rolled in, there was a move in America to mold Halloween into a holiday more for the community and neighborly get-togethers than about pranks, ghosts and witchcraft.
Over time, Halloween has evolved into a community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities.

On PHPMaster.com today there's an interesting article about something called "inattention blindness" - basically, the situation that comes up when you can't seem to find an issue/bug yet it's completely obvious to someone else.
Your code isn't working! You don't know why and you've been staring at it for what seems like hours. You're grumpy. You're falling behind schedule. You're getting increasingly irritated. Why doesn't it work? Why can't you see the bug? It can't be so hard to find, can it? Out of sheer frustration (as opposed to rational thought) you call over a coworker to help you find the problem. Within seconds they do what's been seemingly beyond you - they identify the source of the issue. To make matters worse, it's painfully simple. [...] Inattention blindness is a phenomena related to people's perception of the data they receive through their senses.
The talks about the invisible gorilla test and four theories that might cause the person to miss the obvious. He then relates this back to programming, pointing out a few reasons you might "miss the gorilla" when it comes to debugging your code:
- Specific Language Experience / Programmer Expectations
- Operator Overloading
- Syntactic Noise
- Whitespace - Vertical and Horizontal

By CAROLE MCREYNOLDS DAVIS
It was a beautiful early morning just after sunrise on Oct. 9, 1978, and I was driving along the roadsides searching for a subject to paint for that day. I was getting into our remote and rural bumpy roads into the real world of country living. Suddenly to the left I saw an old man sitting on his broken down front porch looking down at something in his hands.
I pulled into his dirt/grassy road, which was more like a path leading up to his modest, falling down home. He looked up from what he was doing and said, ŌĆ£Come on to my porch!ŌĆØ I told him who I was and that my mission was to paint his portrait. He smiled and said, ŌĆ£Sure.ŌĆØ I was so excited as I got my supplies from my car and popped up my easel. My thoughts were of the beautiful day and my beautiful subject.
Why do I go outside to paint? This is where my best subjects live. I hope when each one of my paintings have been completed that you can hear those old pick-up trucks rattling by on those bumpy country roadsides of Oktibbeha County and feel what I felt as I painted. I am truly with my subject.
I want you to use your senses, of sight by looking at the painting itself, touching my painting, hear the birds and taste what might be cooking on the old stove in the kitchen.
If I go outside into the countryside of our spectacular landscapes in Oktibbeha County I shall then bring home the senses that I experienced so they will be forever captured on my canvas. Oct. 9, 1978 lives again just as I painted it years ago.
What a day I was about to experience as I began to paint a lovely old gentleman, Frank Gallagner, age 82. As I painted he told me stories of his life, I learned much from this country man.
I learned how he had lived his life and his philosophy of living in this house all of his life. He had seen his first car ride down this road, and he had seen his first airplane fly over. I became fascinated by his stories he told me.
Gallagner had been a logger. He had cut and hauled logs on those long trucks. He worked hard at his job as had his father before him, who was also a proud logger.
Suddenly I thought how perfect that my subject was still working with a piece of wood as he keep on whittling, touching and working with wood. Look at his pink cheeks, which indicate he had spent his life outdoors. Look closely at his old work shoes as they tell the story of his life. They are top black shoes laced up to the top.
Look at his faded flannel shirt with its many colors of blue squares. Find his two pockets, and look at his worn gray pants. See the old chair with a hint of the back of the old chair. His porch has wide planks, which were constructed of thrown away pieces that he salvaged from the sawmill to build this entire house. I caught the blade of his knife right before he whittled a final piece of the wood. It is a curved blade, and it is sharp. Find the piece of wood, held tightly so he wonŌĆÖt cut his other hand.
His hands are large and show the time as he worked as logger. Notice the shavings from the wood that he is whittling between his two feet. I kept the background simple to blend in with told porch floor.
The chair cast its own shadow as the sun danced across the old porch giving the planks character. Look at the lightest part of this painting, which is untouched canvas, right above his hands. I want your eyes to be drawn into his hands as they move.
I completed this painting and his portrait. I placed my name and the date at the bottom. I was exhausted after I packed up my supplies. I reached out to shake his hand, and then I invited him to come see me in Starkville soon. I promised him that I would return to visit him soon, too. I thanked him as I was leaving because he was a treasure to capture on my canvas.

Comments On Jun 07, 2015:Tire did it's job great! The wear is better than average for a mostly off-road tire.

Comments On May 18, 2015:these tyres got the ktm690 in places enduro riders feared to tread. I was constantly being congratulated on the amazing capabilties of this bike and the places i was able to conquer. Slightly because of my mad skills, a lot because the ktm is an amazing bike, mostly because these tyres grip where it defies logic...
They lasted about 2000km of hard core hill climbs and single track.
Slight criticism in wet they're not as good as knobbies , but they aren't knobbies. They are the best dual sport tyre ive used....

Comments On Dec 12, 2014:first time using this tire and I absolutely loved. worked well in rocky terrain, loose gravel, hard pack dirt and mud. Its an offroad tire but worked well on the road although it didnt last when I had to commute, but i knew that ahead of time. if you plan to do ANY kind of commuting or distance on pavement beware it wont last long. I got 3500 miles out of my rear 606. very happy with it and will get another in the future when i know i'll be doing lots of off road traveling

Comments On Sep 02, 2013:As a front tire, this thing will last forever - like seriously the rubber will decompose before the tread wears. Grip is fairly average in hardpack but as soon as the terrain gets a bit loose you might as well just run on slicks. These plow at the drop of a dime. I've heard pretty good things about the rear, but for a front tire I'd look elsewhere.

Comments On Sep 22, 2014:Dunlop absolutely hits it out of the ballpark witht he D606 tire! This tire was one of the best investments for my KLR 650. Took its handling from sketchy, to confident.

Comments On Sep 22, 2014:I put this on the front last year. The wear pattern was odd as others mentioned, but I found it to hold up well on road and on dirt/back roads. Never had an issue with this tire. Wore it out, and looking to replace both the front and rear with these for next year as it handled the mud as well as rain, and dry roads very well. I would have liked it even more if it lasted me all season, but all N all no complaints. RG

Comments On Sep 20, 2014:I've had good performance with these DOT tires, and with the Bstone UHD tubes you can run them pretty low pressure and get good traction in the rocks.

Comments On Aug 07, 2014:Pretty good tire. Good grip. Purchased this for a friend. He lives on a dirt road, doesn't use it for off roading per se. Wish the tire lasted longer, as it only lasted about 6 months.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 29, 2014:Bought these to use on my KLR650. They wore about as expected and the off-road riding was great with them. They were very noisy on the pavement until they got worn down some. I would use them again with out any problem.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 09, 2014:As another reviewer stated, some of the center knobs on the front wear way faster than the rest. It will be time to replace sooner than expected because they will be worn to nothing while the rest of the tire looks great. Very strange. I have gone through 2 of these and they both did the same exact thing.
The rear wears consistently on all the knobs though and has decent life. I wouldn't buy the front again but the rear is acceptable. I would normally expect the front to outlast the rear but this is not the case with these.

Hi all,
I know this has been covered time and again but does anyone know when snuff and dodger will be released in the black covers? I have tried emailing the publisher but they haven't responded yet. I am desperate to read both of them as i have every other disc world book and snuff has been out over a year now. I hope I am not alone in wanting to own a matching collection of books, it makes my shelves look tidy.

Sultan Sanjar and the Old Woman
The lyrical paintings of this poetic cycle depict love stories from the classic works of celebrated Iranian poets, biblical and Qur'anic episodes, and hunting vignettes. Collectively, they stand as valuable documents of the original architectural formats and narrative programs of eighteenth-century domestic interiors. The reconstruction below illustrates how this painting cycle would have been displayed in its original context, which would have been a residence or a pleasure or hunting pavilion built during the Zand period (1750–1779). Such works were viewed as visual complements for poetry that the hosts, their guests, or storytellers would recite to entertain one another at convivial gatherings in intimate settings. Although the compositions of these works are derived from manuscript painting, their treatment differs considerably; the scale of the figures in relation to the background is larger, while the number of figures and degree of ornamental patterning is reduced.

The first day of Mississippi State bowl practice open to the public, wasn't so open.
The Bulldogs took the show inside the Palmeiro Center and no fans were permitted inside. The media was allowed to watch.
MSU head coach Dan Mullen and safeties coach Tony Hughes were not in attendance. Instead, they were on the road recruiting.
Offensive line coach John Hevesy took over running practice, but just like most practices, the drills were run by position coaches.
Just has Mullen and the rest of the coaching staff has done in past bowl practices, younger guys got the bulk of the work.
One of the positions that saw some new guys was at linebacker as freshmen Beniquez Brown and Richie Brown both took snaps.
"Let the young guys get their reps in," senior linebacker Cameron Lawrence said. "It's always good to see a fresh crop of guys coming in. These two linebackers we've got are young guys and I just see tremendous potential in them. I see a bright future for the program and it's exciting."
Many of the starters and seniors stood on the sideline during the scrimmage portion of the practice and had a good laugh at the young guys.
They also saw the people that will fill their spots once they are gone. Lawrence views it as a time to take a break and regroup.
"Time to get our bodies back healthy," Lawrence said. "Any bumps and bruises, (we) get those healed up."
Mullen said last week he wasn't going to do a great deal of experimenting, but he was going to see how sophomore linebacker Christian Holmes fared at tight end and fullback.
He did catch a few passes, but he has been doing it in most of bowl practice, which started last Friday.
"Actually I caught one last week in practice, but that was like the first time since my senior year in high school," Holmes said.
Freshman defensive lineman Nick James got some work as well. The Long Beach native weighs in at 330 pounds and stands 6-4.
There were times where he looked confused on the defensive line and times where he looked completely in control.
Today's practice starts at 3:45 p.m. and is open to the public. It will be held at the practice fields, which is right behind the softball complex.
Russell spent
practice in boot
Junior quarterback Tyler Russell spend the whole practice with a boot on his left foot.
He got banged up in the 41-24 loss to Ole Miss to end the regular season.
Mullen confirmed last week that everybody was healthy for the bowl game.
Russell did take a few snaps and throw a couple of balls during the scrimmage.
Griffin suffers
torn ACL
Sophomore running back Nick Griffin tore his ACL in his right knee during practice last Saturday.
He is set to have surgery today.
Griffin was present at practice, but did not participate. He walked around for a little while with his knee in a brace.
No timetable has been set for his return.
"Y'all just don't know how much I appreciate all the love and support from everyone," Griffin tweeted out after practice. "Promise to make it a speedy recovery."
Gator Bowl
to allow cowbells
Just like in 2011 when the Bulldogs played in the Gator Bowl, Bulldog fans will be allowed to ring cowbells.
The Bulldogs (8-4) are set to face off against No. 21 (Associated Press) Northwestern (9-3) in Jacksonville on Jan. 1, 2013.
Just like in regular season home games, MSU officials are urging fans to ring responsible inside EverBank Field.View more articles in:

Cmd.exe does not support UNC names as the current directory
Article ID: 156276 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q156276
When you call out CreateProcess on Cmd.exe, for example:
CreateProcess(NULL, "cmd /c copy file1 file2", ....),and the current directory has been set to a universal naming convention (UNC), Cmd.exe returns the following message:
'<UNC path>' is an invalid current directory path. UNC paths are not supported.
Defaulting to Windows directory.
Cmd.exe checks to verify if a UNC name is used for the current directory. It does this because a UNC name may cause problems with child processes launched from such a console when that console is exited or halted. Microsoft Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 did not check this; thus it was possible to use a UNC name as a current directory.
Obtain the updated Cmd.exe. You must also make a registry entry to be able to use a UNC path as the current directory.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
Under the registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft \Command Processor
add the value DisableUNCCheck REG_DWORD and set the value to 0 x 1 (Hex).
WARNING: If you enable this feature and start a Console that has a current directory of an UNC name, start applications from that Console, and then close the Console, it could cause problems in the applications started from that Console.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

Graphene could make internet one hundred times faster
The use of graphene in telecommunications could dramatically accelerate internet speeds by up to a hundred times, according to new research by scientists in the University of Bath's Department of Physics.
In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, researchers from the Centre for Graphene Science at the Universities of Bath and Exeter have demonstrated for the first time incredibly short optical response rates using graphene, which could pave the way for a revolution in telecommunications.
Every day large amounts of information is transmitted and processed through optoelectronic devices such as optical fibres, photodetectors and lasers. Signals are sent by photons at infrared wavelengths and processed using optical switches, which convert signals into a series of light pulses.
Ordinarily optical switches respond at rate of a few picoseconds – around a trillionth of a second. Through this study physicists have observed the response rate of an optical switch using 'few layer graphene' to be around one hundred femtoseconds – nearly a hundred times quicker than current materials.
Graphene is just one atom thick, but remarkably strong. Scientists have suggested that it would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil to break through a single sheet. Already dubbed a miracle material due to its strength, lightness, flexibility, conductivity and low cost, it could now enter the market to dramatically improve telecommunications.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #33
G-8 and His Battle Aces #18 Audiobook
The Death Monsters
by Robert J. Hogan
Read by Nick Santa Maria. Liner Notes by Will Murray
Out of war-torn skies soars…G-8 and His Battles Aces! The greatest combat pilot of the War to End All Wars, G-8's true name was stricken from all official records. Flying a supercharged warplane, backed by his wild wingmen, Bull Martin and Nippy Weston, G-8 fought the most horrific foes the Kaiser could throw at him. The creation of writer Robert J. Hogan, G-8 and His Battles Aces appeared in the magazine of that same name for over a decade.
Eighty years ago in the summer of 1933, Popular Publications President Harry Steeger and his executive editor, Rogers Terrill, decided to enter the new field of pulp magazines built around a single hero. They enlisted popular aviation fictioneer Robert J. Hogan to help conceive
G-8 and his Battle Aces
, which debuted late in August.
Steeger recalled, "I can remember that Bob Hogan and I picked "G-8" because G-8 was the hero of his first novel and I added "Battle Aces" so that people would know what type of magazine it was and also because
Battle Aces
had been a very successful book."
G-8 was born in the front seat of a car crawling through the Holland Tunnel. His father was Robert Jasper Hogan, who had made quite a name for himself as a prolific pulp writer specializing in aviation fiction during the glamorous era of aircraft now styled Between the Wars. Among practitioners of that now-lost art, this school of writing was styled Yammering Guns, after the sound of contending synchronized cockpit-mounted machine guns in furious action.
Steeger and Hogan hashed out an idea. It was part Eddie Rickenbacker and part
What Price Glory?
—which was a popular Maxwell Anderson stage play turned into a motion picture.
stressed the horrors of war as counterpoint to the sentimental comradeship of the Allies in the trenches. Only in this case, by horror, Popular Publications meant something far more horrific than mustard-gas trench warfare atrocities.
For, envisioning the expected strain on the writer's imagination a monthly novel would enact, Steeger and Hogan agreed that the new series would soon grow stale of they didn't spice it up with elements of the fantastic. This recipe ranged from merely super-scientific death rays to unabashedly supernatural manifestations. Nothing was taboo in G-8. Hogan was a pioneer of over-the-top plotting generations before the term was invented.
Driving home to New Jersey from Manhattan, Hogan passed through the Holland Tunnel. While in traffic, he worked out the details of G-8's first wild adventure. He named his hero after a Colorado ranch where Hogan worked one summer. G-8 never had another name. His wingmen, Bull Martin and Nippy Weston, were modeled on a pair of real-life flyboys named Bull Nevin and Nippy Westover.
The premier G-8 tale, which appeared in the October, 1933 issue of
G-8 and His Battle Aces
, exemplified the outrageous approach Steeger and Hogan envisioned for the series. Hogan called it
The Bat Staffel
. Therein he introduced a twisted German genius who would bedevil his new hero the length and breadth of the series—some eleven tortured years. This first time out, the Kaiser's maddest mad scientist,
Herr Doktor
Krueger, unleashed monster bats as big as bi-planes on Allied Sopwith Camels and Spads. It made for fearsome reading.
Before it was all over, G-8 battled weird menaces ranging from Martians to Zombies, with assorted undead minions of the Kaiser sandwiched in between. If Hogan couldn't concoct a fresh beast-man, why, a clutch of cave men or freshly-defrosted Viking berserkers would keep readers riveted. Recurring foes came and went. G-8 finally vanquished
Herr Doktor
Krueger late in the series. Or did he? Maybe they renewed their feud for World War II. If so, Hogan failed to record those encounters. No doubt they would have captivated ever-loyal fans of the one and only Flying Spy.
For our second G-8 release, and to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the magazine's founding, we've selected one of the wildest and weirdest novels in the series' long run.
The Death Monsters
is taken from the pages of the March, 1935 issue of
G-8 and his Battle Aces
. In this nightmare story,
Herr Doktor
Krueger, frustrated at being thwarted by the Master Spy time and again, deploys his most diabolical creations yet––the Ulp. What are they? Let's just say that Krueger may have gotten his inspiration from reading the works of H. P. Lovecraft....
This stupendous audiobook is brought to life by Nick Santa Maria, with Roy Worley and Milton Bagby reading the exciting short stories, "Too Old to Fight!" and "The Wolf Ace," also by Robert J. Hogan. Prepare to follow a sky-trail of terror with G-8 and his unflappable wingmen...
Nick DeGregorio composed the music for the G-8 and His Battle Aces series of audiobooks.

text: At Wheaton, we like to show how computer science is so much more than what many think it is. It's not about the technical details of this or that technology. Computer science is about problem-solving, devising efficient solutions to the puzzles of the world. Computer science is one of the most interdisciplinary fields, connecting to work in the sciences, social sciences, literature, and music, not only in the way computing technology aids those disciplines but also in the way computer science trains the mind for rigorous, logical thinking. Computer science isn't just about programming, but it involves a lot of it. Programming is one of the most creative human activities as a programmer can create nearly unlimited worlds in the most flexible medium possible: software. Come join us on this adventure.

Installation - Solid Floors

Somerset Hardwood
Installation - Solid Floors
Installation - Solid Floors
Installer / Owner Responsibility
Somerset products should be installed by a qualified hardwood flooring mechanic. Many important decisions affecting the performance and appearance of the installed floor must be made on the installation site, and therefore are the responsibility of the installer and/or owner. These include, but are not limited to, complete evaluation of site conditions including moisture testing of the entire site and flooring, acclimation of flooring to proper site conditions, site preparation, flooring layout, milling, grade and color, proper installation methods, and clean up. DO NOT INSTALL any flooring if there is any question as to acceptability — INSTALLATION CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE. Additional technical information can be obtained from the National Wood Flooring Association at www.nwfa.org.
Site Conditions, Handling, and Storage
Somerset solid hardwood flooring may be installed above or on grade (outside soil level). Never install below grade (where soil is present along any perimeter wall and is more than 3" above the installed wood flooring level).
Somerset floors must be installed after all other construction that may affect them is completed. Concrete, drywall, plumbing and any other "wet work" should be thoroughly cured.
Keep flooring dry at all times. Provide good air circulation around pallets, bundles, or cartons. Do not stack flooring bundles or cartons more than three layers high, and maintain a flat stack. Record flooring moisture content upon delivery and at time of installation for future reference.
Factory finished flooring is finished wood work, and should be handled carefully to avoid damage to the finished face, edges, corners, etc.
Solid hardwood flooring must be acclimated to stable, permanent site conditions before installation. Hardwood flooring should be between 6 and 9% moisture content, and the subfloor and flooring should be within 4% of each other (2% on wider planks). In no case should the moisture content of either exceed 12%.
Permanent HVAC must be in operation before, during, and after installation. A temperature of 70 degrees F +/- 10 degrees and a relative humidity between 35-55% is recommended. Heating units or un-insulated ductwork close to the flooring or sub-floor may cause "hot spots" which must be eliminated prior to installation.
Radiant Heat: Somerset recommends only narrow widths (2-1/4, 3", and 3-1/4") of solid hardwood flooring may be installed over modern radiant heat systems (excluding exotic species). As installation and heating system conditions are very detailed, please consult NWFA and the manufacturer of the heating system for further details. Somerset cannot be responsible for improper use of radiant heat.
Site Moisture is the most important factor. Confirm proper drainage exists around the structure. In crawl spaces, exposed earth must be fully covered with minimum 6-mil polyethylene sheeting. Crawl space vents must be open at all times, and must equal at least 1.5% of the total square footage of the crawl space. Basements must be dry and remain dry.
Sub-Floor Types And Conditions
The sub-floor must be clean, dry, flat (within 3/16" in 10'), and structurally sound. Correct any joints or areas that are not flat. Securely fasten any loose boards or panels.
CDX plywood or OSB subfloor/underlayment grade is recommended. Minimum single layer sub-floor thickness is 5/8" plywood on 16" o.c. joists or 23/32" OSB on 19.2" o.c. joists. The flooring must run perpendicular to the floor joists, or additional sub-floor thickness is required (refer to NWFA for more details).
Somerset solid hardwood flooring may be installed over concrete subfloors by first installing a wood subfloor or screed system (refer to NWFA for details).
Installation Preparation
Allow 3/4" expansion space between the wood flooring and any walls or other obstructions. Undercut door jambs, casings, drywall, etc. A clearance of 1/16" above the floor is recommended so the floor fits underneath and allows proper expansion space. Over the subfloor, install a layer of #15 building felt, overlapped 4" at the seams. After applying the felt, chalk joist locations for reference when nailing.
The best appearance is usually achieved by installing parallel to the length of the room, but always install perpendicular to the floor joists unless special sub-floor conditions are met (see wood sub-floors). While each job is unique, it is critical to establish a primary working line for the entire job (usually through the longest continuous area to be installed) and reference all flooring layout from that line. Always rack out the flooring before installing to avoid clustered end joints and repeating patterns. Work simultaneously from several cartons to achieve good color distribution.
Use caution to avoid edge and face damage during installation. Special footer plates are available for flooring tools to protect factory finished flooring faces and edges. Use backer boards of 1/2" plywood ripped to an appropriate width to establish straight lines. Backer boards should be secured to the sub floor and carefully aligned with starter lines.
Use flooring fasteners (cleat or staple) minimum 1-1/2", (avoid conflict with concrete under subfloors and radiant heat systems). Air pressure should be regulated so the fastener seats fully in the groove, but does not split the tongue or wood below it. Nailing schedule is standard NOFMA, for strip 8-10", 1-3" from end joints, for plank 8".
Face nail only as required with 7d or 8d finish nails or cleats, 1/2" from the groove, pre-drilling the nail holes to prevent splitting. Nailing schedule is the same as with blind fasteners (above). Face nails should be counter sunk and covered by molding or properly filled.
Adhesive/fastener Installation:
On wider width planks (4" and wider), combining adhesives and fasteners is an option to minimize flooring movement after installation. #15 felt paper should be omitted when using adhesives. Use a quality urethane hardwood flooring adhesive.
Follow all practices recommended by the adhesive manufacturer including adhesive temperature, room temperature and humidity, proper ventilation, spread rate, open time, safety procedures and equipment, clean up and cure time. Avoid allowing urethane adhesive residue to dry on the face of the flooring. Special cleaners are available (from the adhesive manufacturer) to clean off any residue.
Aggressive solvents may attack the finish, so test any cleaner for finish compatibility before using it on installed flooring.
Finishing Touches
Somerset offers five standard molding profiles factory finished to blend with your Somerset wood floor. These moldings will address most trim and transition situations quickly and cost effectively, and should be ordered with the flooring to avoid needless delays in closing.
Fill any nail holes or small cracks with the proper filler (Somerset Touch-Up Kits are available). Leave the touch up kit with your customer for their use as needed.
Clean the floor thoroughly and remove all scraps and debris. Leave care and maintenance information for the consumer. A Somerset floor care kit makes a good closing gift, and starts them on the right maintenance program.
Note: Applying additional finish over the factory finish may cause problems and does not improve durability or seal the joints. Any finish materials used that are not recommended by Somerset Hardwood Flooring will void your warranty.
If you have questions about proper installation, contact Somerset, your Somerset distributor, or the National Wood Flooring Association (www.nwfa.org).

Our History
In January 1955, the Central Florida Federation of Art and Sciences, a group of visionary Central Florida citizens, chartered a small non-profit science museum, to be called the Central Florida Museum and Planetarium. Beginning as a "museum on the move," the staff presented demonstrations in area schools and displayed exhibits in store windows and bank lobbies.
In 1957, the City of Orlando provided space for a permanent facility in Orlando, Loch Haven Park. The Central Florida Museum and Planetarium opened its doors in 1960. In its first decade, the museum was anthropology-centered with a focus on the natural history of Florida and the Caribbean basin.
Orlando Science Center has come a long way since 1955. For most of its history, the Science Center operated in a small building that was the original cultural facility in Loch Haven Park. Today, Orlando Science Center occupies a beautiful, 207,000 sq. ft. facility that is architecturally distinctive and built for the future with spacious exhibit halls, nature habitats, classrooms, a theatre, an observatory and visitor amenities such as a science store and cafe.
Today, Orlando Science Center attracts nearly 400,000 visitors each year with dynamic and engaging content. The goal has always been to personalize the guest experience; demonstrating how science impacts everyday life. Structured programming ranges from on-site experiences that utilize exhibits, theatrical performances, classes, and events, to off-site educational programs in the schools.
The Science Center's many collaborative partnerships with public school districts, universities, colleges, science/technology corporations and other commercial and professional enterprises aid in promoting science and technology education for students and in fostering science literacy among Florida's citizens.
Our Future
To truly be a community destination, the Science Center seeks to represent the needs of the people it serves. To that end, we strive to bring the core concepts of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to bear in an engaging way. To satisfy our mission Inspire Science Learning for Life, we will continue to encourage exploration and discovery by focusing on the following areas:
- Early Childhood
- Health and Wellness/Life Science
- Technology (digital media, modeling and simulation, optics and lasers)
- Earth and Space Science
- Environmental Science/Renewable Energy
We firmly believe that this approach will allow the Science Center to continue to be serve as a cornerstone for informal science learning.
Undoubtedly, the future will continue to unfold at a lightning pace. The Science Center's goal is to continue to be a place that helps our community prepare and embrace the changes that tomorrow brings.
Equally important to the long-term viability of our organization is its ability to adapt to new and exciting ways of disseminating and receiving information. No longer just a building, the Science Center continues to evolve into a concept, bringing the exciting world of STEM to our audience - onsite, offsite and online. We will continue to explore new and innovative ways to deliver our message in a relevant, meaningful way.
Science is about change. Orlando Science Center embraces that change and will continue to look for ways to lead.

Posted in History and Future
To celebrate Orlando Science Center's 500,000th visitor during our 60th anniversary year, we surprised a family in the admissions line with a presentation of goodies delivered by the programming staff; new resident robot, PAL; and President and CEO JoAnn Newman.
Rachel Zabar and Rebecca DuPrey are childhood best friends. Rebecca and her daughter Abigail were visiting the Zabar family from New York and they decided to visit Orlando Science Center with their families! The families enjoyed a private tour of Mummies of the World: The Exhibition a meet and greet with our resident robot PAL and a baby alligator, and received many other VIP perks, including a free annual membership and a gift bag from the new Science Store.

Turning 30! 1
Next month I am going to celebrate my 30th birthday. Yes you heard it right the big 3..0 is descending upon me. It has got me thinking about a lot of things.
The problem is I am not fearful of turning 30, I just don't want to look 40! Whilst many women at this age are at the peak of their careers and enjoying nights out in the city, having date nights and lavish meals out, I on the other hand have opted for a different life.
It was never supposed to be that way. I had always envisioned the above, but you see, love has a lot to answer for and when I fell for my husband at the whipper snapper age of 18, I did not contemplate marriage by 22 and three children by 26. Life has a funny way of not being as planned as you had expected.
