I posted the wrong amazon link, http://www.ebay.com/...r-/140934439651 , if you look at the sellers feedback they are shipping 5+ of these screens everyday with no problems.
There a reports of the casing not being the highest quality but that's about it.
I don't know where you are getting they are class B or C panels? Care to share your source? Apparently they are A- panels (stated here: http://forums.whirlp...archive/2023067)
You can pay $30-40 more for a 0 dead pixel guarantee model. I cant remember how many counts as zero but I believe it is under 20 pixels. Not that you can really spot a dead pixel on such a high PPI monitor without green screening.
If you go with green sum as the seller in the link in this post then you know they will replace it or refund you if it is faulty. So the only downside would be having to ship it back to Korea. Well worth the risk IMO.
i just assumed that because that tends to be the case with the cheap korean brands, A- is not bad. you definitely can notice a dead pixel on these displays though depending on where it is.

make it again
Serves 8
Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add all remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
This recipe is fantastic exactly as written. Healthy, fresh meal that would be great as a side, but I enjoyed it on it's own. Even though it's great as-is, I did like adding some Louisiana hot sauce.

Restaurants in Helsinki
With a love of simple organic ingredients, Helsinki restaurants are a cut above. While Helsinki does have its share of Michelin star restaurants, it is the smaller community restaurants that thrive. One such restaurant in Helsinki is Bar Sandro. With its African influences, there are many amazing vegetarian dishes, as well as meat and seafood dishes. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and cozy, not stuffy at all. Conveniently located in south Helsinki and offering live African music some Sundays during brunch, this is a restaurant to try.
For an authentic Finnish treat, try Juuri restaurant in Helsinki. Known for its tapas, also known as sapas, and organic and locally grown food, Juuri is a true treat for the taste buds. There is a large selection of fillings that include meats, vegetables and seafood. Booking in advance is a good idea; Juuri is very popular and known as one of the best restaurants in Helsinki. Restaurants in Helsinki also serve European fare from France, Germany, and Italy.

Hugo Chavez Dead?
The former Ambassador of Panama to the Organization of American States (OAS), Guillermo Cochez, said Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez suffered brain death and who had died four days ago. According to statements given to international news channel NTN24, "the president suffered brain death since December 31 and have been disconnected from the machines that kept him alive for four days."
On whether Venezuela is prepared the worst news, the journalist said: "Not at all, people who can read the political news can be but most people do not, hence the opposition goes on to say that everything is a braid, the people Chavez want to be told what happened to his Commander President, some say he has died, I have learned that on December 30 was the first death, brain death."
It requested through his Twitter account the Venezuelan government to file a proof that Chavez is kept alive. "They've been cheating on Venezuela and the world," he wrote.
"The infighting in Venezuela, the Cuban government pressure, are situations that have not allowed the news of his death be released," said the reporter Cochez
Pamela Silva.
"Chavez was taken to Venezuela because the Cubans did not want to give the disconnect there and have kept him from returning to Venezuela in that state. Would not have been able to teach Evo Morales and Ollanta Humala or Cristina Fernández" he explained.
After the diplomatic Cochez questioned Venezuela's decision to postpone the oath of President Hugo Chavez to be receiving medical treatment in Cuba, Panama's government decided to dismiss him.
CNN Chile consulted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela, who claimed that this version is not true and it contradicts the medical treatment that is currently performing the President of Venezuela. They refused further comment.
Guillermo Cochez, meanwhile, said Chavez died four days ago and asked her daughters to disconnect the ventilator which was connected to survive.
"Our commander is undergoing additional treatment, as we have reported, these treatments are highly complex and tough," Maduro said in a ceremony broadcast on state television after reporting that he had just returned from Cuba.
Chavez was first diagnosed with cancer in June 2011. Castro sent an open letter to Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro that was published in the Cuban Communist Party's Central Committee newspaper, Granma, reminiscing about when he first met Chavez in 1994.
The minister said "this development reached began implementing systemic medical treatment for the underlying disease as an adjunct to surgery December 11, 2012″
He said that the medical staff taking care of Chávez" is available for the Commander around the clock. They talk to him, take care of his treatment and are aware of everything that he has been through."
Chavez, 58-years-old and in power since 1999, has not been seen or heard since last December 10, 2012 Venezuelan state television aired a few images of him just before leaving for the island to have surgery.
Opposition leaders are demanding that the government provide more information about the condition of Chavez and want new elections.
According to Maduro, Venezuelan people are "supportive and loyal to Commander Chávez" amidst his illness.

Israeli Settler Killed, Two Injured in Attack near Jenin
A Jewish female settler was killed in an ambush set up by Palestinian fighters near the northern Palestinian town of Jenin, while two males were injured, one seriously, reported Radio Israel.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army said Thursday it had lifted a three-day curfew in the flashpoint West Bank town of Hebron but was continuing to prevent Palestinians from going in or out of the city, reported AFP.
The curfew was put in force Monday on a sector of the city where some 400 Israeli settlers live under heavy army protection amid around 40,000 Palestinians, and did not apply to the settlers.
A military spokesman did not indicate how long the total blockade would continue around Hebron, where some 120,000 Palestinian residents have been barred from entering or leaving following violent incidents on Monday.
Reports said Palestinians opened fire on a settler enclave, setting off a gun battle between Palestinians and Israeli troops and settlers that left 15 people wounded.
Five Israelis including a seven-year-old boy were wounded, along with 10 Palestinians -- among them a 10-year-old -- Albawaba.com

London — A former British Minister for Africa Baroness Lynda Chalker has criticised the Nigerian press for focusing on negative issues rather than propagating the many positive things that abound in the country.
Speaking at a press conference at the end of the 13th meeting of the Honorary International Investment Council (HIIC) in London yesterday, Baroness Chalker said the Nigerian press "has let the country down". Chalker is the co-ordinator of HIIC.
"Nigerian media should focus on positive things which are there," she said, explaining that the international press usually picks up what the local media and Nigerians say about their country.
"Even people who have not been to Nigeria make negative comments about the country. If you ask them how the formed their opinion, they will tell you they picked it from the Nigerian media and Nigerians. The media should get their facts right and highlight positive issues about the country, she stressed.
She said a lot of progress was being made in Nigeria, which she said, "has real opportunities", but pointed out that a lot of the problems confronting the country were not being tackled yet.
Speaking in the same vein, Minister of Information Mr. Labaran Maku accused Nigerian media of "bandying" negative statements about the country and turning them into "declarations" without bothering to find out the facts.
"The Nigeria media is so negative about the country. They are not interested in believing the progress being made in the country. They are running the country down".
"You can't blame the international media, because they are re-echoing what the local press say about their country," he said, and urged the Nigerian media to be more cautious and objective.

Due to geo-morphosis taking place in Himalayas, river Saraswati began to dry up and the Saraswats were forced to migrate to greener pastures. Some went to Kashmir in the north, others went eastwards. Few made their way to the konkan and Goa. These came to be recognized as Goud Saraswats or Dakshinatya Saraswats, to distinguish them from other Saraswat groups of North.
The new immigrants were called 'Goud' because they were followers of monism or advaita as preached by the great guru Goudapadacharya, who was guru of Govinda Bhagavatpada whose direct disciple was the great Shankaracharya, who is famous for resurrection of Hinduism or Vedic religion in India. The first math of Saraswats dedicated to the memory of Goudapadacharya was established in Kaivalyapura or Kavale in Goa in the 8th century A.D. To this day, the swamis of Kavale math are known as Goudapadacharyas. Thus Kavale Math is Goud Saraswat Community's Adimath (first math) and three main sub-sects of Dakshinatya Saraswats, viz., Sashtikar (Dorke including Bardeshkars), Shenvis (Karbharis), and Chitrapur Saraswats (Bhanaps) were all known as Goud Saraswats or Konkani Brahmins till three-hundred years ago.Other Saraswat subsects include Kudladeskars, Pednekars, Rajapur Saraswat Brahmins and Balavalikars.
In the 13th century, Dwaita (Vaishnava) philosophy advocated by Madhvacharya became popular and many Saraswats adopted vaishnavism. They however continued to worship the deities they brought with them from North. These were 'Mahan Girish' or Mangueshi, Shakti or Shanta durga, Vishnu, Ganesh and Surya. They form 'Panchayatan' or five deities, sacred to all Saraswats.
Goud Saraswats were spread in all the big and small kingdoms of western coast under different dynasties right from 6th century A.D. Kadamba, Rashtrakuta, Hoysala, Chalukya Shilahara and Vijayanagara kings had given very important posts to Saraswats. There were admirals, treasurers, ambassadors, army chiefs and foreign language-interpreters among them. They were famous traders as well, who conducted maritime trade with Eastern and Western countries of the contemporary world. Spoken language of Saraswats is Konkani.
Then came the Portuguese for trade followed by Christian missionaries. Forcible conversions began to take place under the patronage of Portuguese government in 1560 A.D. Most of the Saraswat families left Goa with their family deities, risking life and limb. They settled down in the adjoining Hindu principalities. New temples came up in the coastal districts of Karnataka for Saraswat deities. When conditions slightly improved in Goa and forcible conversions stopped, the idols were taken back to newly constructed temples in Goa. But they are not in the original ancient spots, where churches were built, destroying earlier temples. Many people migrated to Kerala and built temples mainly dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his different avatars. Kashi Math at Kochi came up in 1560 A.D. and at Bhatkal in 1540 A.D. This was shifted to Gokarn hence known as Gokarn Jeevottama Partakali Math to include the name of famous Saint-Pontiff by the name Jeevottam of the Math stationed at Partakal or Partakali, Goa. Finally, this Math has its establishment at Kankon in Goa. All the Vaishnav Saraswats are Kulavis (followers) of either Kashi Math or Gokarn Math. 'Smarth' Saraswats owe allegiance to either Kavale Math or Chitrapur Math.
Saraswats continued to hold important posts under Keladi or Nagar rulers. Many families who emigrated from Goa settled down in smaller towns and villages in Shimoga, South and North Kanara Districts. Most of them became village accountants, some Accounts Officers or Divisions (Nada Karanik = Nadkarni) or group of villages (Kula + karanik = Kulkarni). Saraswats were the first beneficiaries of English education introduced in 1840 A.D. Very soon they began to show their grit skill and efficiency in all the fields. That is how we find bankers, industrialists, doctors, surgeons, educationists, administrators, freedom fighters and social reformers. They excel in the field of arts and sports as well.
Among a billion Indians, the Saraswats form a minuscule minority. Their total number does not exceed two and a half lakh (250,000). However they are a big force.
The group of Smarta Gowda Saraswats (mainly Kushasthalikar and Keloshikar families) who migrated to Karnataka at the time of the Muslim invasion in the 1400's were mostly the educators and administrators. This migrant group moved a little inland to North and South Kanara. Their intelligence and generations-old experience as administrators, allowed some of them to secure prominent positions as accountants in the courts of the Hindu rulers of the time. One such Hindu king of the Keladi kingdom, was so impressed by the diligence and skills of his Saraswat accountant, that he decreed that each village in his kingdom, be administered by a Saraswat. Eventually these Saraswats took on the name of the village as their last name. Once they had migrated to the Kanara district, the Shenvis were not able to sustain their unity with the Saraswat Brahmins they had left behind in Goa. Even though they continued to believe in Smarta tradition, their connection with the Kavale mutt was cut off since the Kavale mutt at Kushathali was destroyed in 1564 AD and the swamis shifted to Varanasi and were not available locally.
Although the Saraswats were well respected as accountants, they were not readily recognized as true Brahmins by the local Brahmins because of their lack of a spiritual guru. Therefore, the Shenvis felt that it was necessary to seek a spiritual preceptor for their community. They pleaded with a Saraswat Sanyasi, Parijananasharma Swami, visiting from North India, to become their Guru. He consented to guide the community and established a new Mutt for them in Gokarn in 1708 AD. The people of Gokarn sent letters to the members residing in Mangalore and Vithal to notify them about the guru who would be touring around the south to give sermons and grant blessings. Sringeri Shankaracharya mutt in the Kanara district was asked for their consent of the new guru which was granted. This firmly established Parijnanashram Swami as the guru of the community. In 1739 AD, the ruler Basavappa Nayaka II donated land in Gokarn to build a mutt in reverence to their primary deity, Shri Bhavanishankar.
His successor Shankarashram Swami attained Samadhi at Chitrapur, on his way towards Gokarn, in 1757 AD. Another Mutt establishment was built in Chitrapur near Shirali in Uttara Kannada and it became headquarters of the Mutt. This group considered themselves as superior in intellect and cutoff the connection with other groups in Goa claiming that they are the descendants of Kashmiri Brahmins and eventually formed their own sub-sect, called the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins (also referred as Bhanaps after one of their popular caste members) and continued their Smarta tradition.
During British rule in Kanara district (from 1799) the people of this Chitrapur community came to be appointed as Shanbhags (temple accountants) in most of the villages in South and North Canara, and thus, the Chitrapur Saraswats have almost as many surnames as the villages in these two districts, and the surnames like Ullal, Udyavar, Beltangady, Honavar, Chandavar, Kokradi, Kodkani, Divgi etc. represent the place where the ancestors of the holders of these surnames had been Shanbhags or village accountants. Due to certain peculiar historical and social reasons, this group of people took to English education earlier than all other communities in Canara and came to dominate in the civil service under the British in these two Canara districts.
When the British ruled India, the Bhanaps took to English education earlier than others. Subsequently, they were able to obtain key jobs at the district offices and the Collector's offices in Mangalore, Honavar and Karwar. They were also quickly employed as administrators in the cotton and textile export industry in Kumta, Hubli and Dharwad. Many Bhanaps made their way into the cosmopolitan city of Bombay by the late 1800s.
From Mangalore, where many Chitrapur Saraswats were concentrated due to their getting some key jobs at the Collector's and other district offices, they also moved to Honavar where there was Deputy Collector's office in the undivided Canara. They also came to Karwar in 1863 when it was made the new headquarters of the newly created North Canara. As they were the earliest to take to new English educatlon and had influential positions at various government offices, they could get appointments as village accountants for their castemen. They were in a better position to educate their children than others like traders (which most of the other Saraswats had been), craftsmen or agriculturists. By the close of the 19th century the Chitrapur Saraswats were an educationally advanced community having taken to new English learning and the Cotton Boom of the American Civil War days (1863-64) helped them secure positions in cotton business and industry at Kumta, Hubli, Dharwar and later Bangalore. The railway headquarters which was at Dharwar was shifted to Madras and with that many Chitrapur Saraswats reached Madras. New education helped them to reach Bombay and Madras by getting positions in the administrative set up also and in Bombay many private firms also provided them footing before 1900.
Among those settling down in Bombay, Shamrao Vithal Kaikini from Karwar (after whose name Shamrao Vithal Co-op Bank functions) and his sister's son Narayan Chandavarkar from Honavar became very important public men, social reformers and academic personalities. Chandavarkar became the President of Indian National Congress (Lahore, 1900), the Vice-Chancellor of Bombay University and Chief Justice of Bombay High Court. Veteran Freedom fighters Karnad Sadashivrao, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya, Krishnabai Panjekar and Umbabai Kundapur belong to this section. Mention must be also made of noted Kannada writer Panje Mangesh Rao among others.
One of the major aspects of this group is that of language. The members of this caste speak Konkani, one of the Indo-Aryan languages which descended from the Middle Indic Prakrits. Some Bhanap scholars noticed that the caste continued to become increasingly confined within their own group as time passed. One of the major contributors to this developing situation may be the fact that the Konkani language binds the members of this small caste in a way that is unique among the Saraswats. In fact, many members of the community fondly refer to their mother-tongue as "amchigele" meaning of our own.
The number of Chitrapur Saraswats stands at 22,498 according to Kanara Saraswat Association's 2001 census, up 7 per cent from 20,932 in 1971, the reality is that the 0-19 age group, its veritable future, has shrunk from 33 per cent to an alarming low of 18 per cent and the 20-44 age group has also gone down from 38 per cent to 34 per cent.

When a veggie description says 'ready in 80-100 days, when does one start counting? Is it the moment one plants the seed or start when the plant emerges from the ground?
Also... as you know I grow Stowells evergreen sweet corn, I have been doing research on it. Seems every site has a different maturity time.
I have seen it anywhere from 70-100 days. Some say it needs picked at 80 days or it is not edible, others say 95 days...
Some say it last longer after picking than most while another site says you have to cook it within hours or it looses all it's flavor. Who to believe.
I never watched growing times however last year, it seems I waited to long as the kernels were way to tough.
I usually watch for the milky kernels to tell when to pick.
Any corn growers got some ideas here?
YB, you're certainly doing alot of brainwork on this and I hope you can work it out, but it sounds like it comes down to trial and error since it's all up to the weather really.
I CAN help on one thing though and that's when to pick to avoid tough corn.
When the kernels go milky that means the sugar is turning to starch, so you'd want to pick when the tassels are browned and the punctured kernel's sap is still mostly clear.
As far as cooking your Stowells, I'd take an ear early in the morning, break it in half. Cook one half right away, and then the other half the next day for comparison.
Can't hurt to try.
mostly dependent on your area. Just trying to pin things down a little closer to reality.
why I have never bothered to grow granny's teeth (corn) now I know why. Toooooo damn complicated.
the package shouls say germination time and then time till maturity. most seeds are between 7-12 germination days and then 60-120 days till maturity. So after they sprout is when maturity count begins!
Stuie told me once that that any corn is best when you first pick it. If you let it set (after picking) it continues to develop starch and lose it's sweetness. After he said that I made a point to always get the corn put up as soon as I was done picking. Previously I sometimes would pick late in the day, put it in a cool place and then put it up the next day.
Don't you just miss Stuie? I know I do.. and where is BUMPS?
Has anone heard from Pumpkin Doug?
Bump's still lurking out there.
Nothing from Doug.. wonder if he will ever get back on but then again, we asked that about the Bumpster too...
I agree with REDMINK about the clear juice - but disagree as when to pick. Usually veggies are better in the AM as the juices from the roots are starting UP the plant - fresher than waiting until afternoon. I also try to process the same day.

Is photographing the food we eat, the new grace?
I thought I was the only over zealous enthusiastic person taking photographs of food. BUt it appears not.
AS I sit in Thailand I see others taking photos of their meals before feasting in. I see pictures uploaded to facebook of people displaying their food and I have an album or two of pure food shots.
I can of course rationalise my actions through my work and desire to share the word that healthy food looks awesome. It looks inviting, vibrant and ALIVE! But is that what all these other people are doing?
I think the new fad of photographing your meal is a form of acknowledgement and gratefullness. A form of grace if you will. Thank-you GOD for this food we are about to recieve…. hang on, I will just take a photo instead. Same senitment, different dialogue.
And if this is the inspiration behind people taking pics of food, keep it going. I encourage
it. Images say a thousand words and maybe when we flick back through our pics we get to indulge in our fortunes one more time. It is a good thing.
What do you think?

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A plan to cut the commercial and industrial property tax rates in Iowa didn't get out of the statehouse last year. But with a state budget surplus in excess of $800-million dollars, many lawmakers and business owners alike believe this may be the year.
Tuesday, Iowa Governor Terry Branstad made property tax reform one of his top three Condition of the State speech goals. On Friday, he reemphasized that idea with a "tweet" message to followers that said "Iowa's unemployment rate is fourth lowest in the country, but we need property tax relief to reach our full potential."
While commercial and industrial property tax relief might not rate high on the wish list of average Iowa voters, it does resonate with the business crowd. And that was obvious Friday when the Cedar Rapids Economic Alliance hosted the first Legislative Forum of the new session with area lawmakers. In front of a mostly-business crowd, both the first question and many following questions involved the status of the commercial tax relief issue.
One attendee was John Wasta, who with several partners, owns Tallgrass Business Resourcesan office design and furniture supply business. Wasta and partners have locations in four Iowa cities with a total of 47 employees. He said wages and health care costs have the biggest impact on his business budget. But in recent years, he's seen the growing impact of rising property taxes on the buildings he owns.
"Property taxes is something that's been talked about for a long timeespecially commercial property taxes and it's time to address it," Wasta said.
Wasta said most business property owners have a real problem with how taxable value is determined. Business owners get taxed at 100 percent of value. Residents, by contrast, pay taxes on just over half the value of a personal home.
At the Legislative Forum, several lawmakers weighed in on the tax issue. Representative Tyler Olson (D-Cedar Rapids) told the business group he is somewhat surprised to be dealing with the tax reform issue again this year.
"I thought we were going to get there last year. We didn't. But I think we can get there this year," Olson said.
Newcomer Representative Daniel Lundby (D-Marion) said he is in the process of setting up a home business. And that gave him an eye-opening look at the property tax issue.
"I was rather concerned to find out how high the state of Iowa was when it comes to property taxes," Lundby said.
Governor Branstad has proposed cutting commercial and industrial property tax values by 20 percent over four years. But lawmakers at the forum said if you spend too much on that problem, then there's less available to address other issues like the funding of mental health programs or education.
Business owner Wasta said he actually agrees action on those two issues will probably have to come before any significant work on property tax reform.
And while there is general agreement that cutting commercial and industrial property tax rates is an issue getting a lot of attention now, no one is willing to bet yet that attention will translate into legislative action by the end of the session.

They should have used the same material for the back as the device the one touch idol. Still if priced correctly this can take a good chunk out of mid range (price wise not full spec wise).

"The bad news continues with the addition of a dual-core, instead of a quad-core."
Sometimes, dual-core is better than quad-core :) I will take dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon, insted of quadcore. Because i'm sure that it'll be chinese MediaTek. It's really processor for low cost phones.

In the modern world terrorist attacks are no longer a distant treat they are the 100% reality. And all the western societies are well aware that it is better to be prepared well in advance, rather than regretting lack of action. Taking this all into consideration many universities identified the gap in education systems. Up until now we almost didn't have any targeted and professional counter-terrorist training or education courses. In this article we want to discuss couple of the newest and the best education options for people wanting to attend anti-terrorist classes.
What are the medical risks of travelling to the high terror-risk areas.
Have you ever wonder what are potential medical risks when travelling to the high risk countries. We want to show you some of the potential medical risks and help you understand how you can protect yourself and your family. First of all you need to understand that the high terror risk countries have very poor medical systems, and most of them don't have any advanced or sophisticated equipment that ultimately can save your life. Hence it's extremely important to understand the risks and diseases that are present in the country you're travelling to.
Top most dangerous places to travel
Today we want to discuss some of the most dangerous places you may travel to. These places we want to mention usually should be avoided by all chances, as the terrorism activities are very high out there. It is also absolutely essential that you fulfil couple of necessary steps before going to these places, as there may be some military activities in some of the regions.
We want to refer you to the Global Terrorism Index, that is calculated annually and is developed to cover and capture all the possible terrorist activities on the world. The GTI is calculated by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University of Maryland. The index is calculated based on the number of terror attacks and events that took place in any given country (it also takes into consideration severity of the attacks) – the country with relatively largest number of events will have bigger index value and will be higher up on the list.

Over the edge
"He's not for you."
What did he think was for me? Him? I wondered. He moved in and kissed me softly. When I let him he took it to the next level, the kind of kiss that used to send me over the edge. Ben had never sent me over the edge. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed into him. In one simple exchange I was back, back to Mathew and me.--Lisa Loomis (Boy in a Band--a novel)

"That's what happens when you squeeze too hard. You have to go slow," Mathew said as he took the nozzle out of my hand, extending his hand for my cup.He was talking about more than the beer tap and he knew I knew it.--Lisa Loomis (Boy in a Band)

CWR Mobility, the leading provider of mobility solutions for Microsoft Dynamics® CRM, announced today its "Mobile First" initiative, a major new technical strategy and product plan designed to help forward-looking companies gain strategic business advantage by capitalizing on mobile as the new normal for enterprise CRM applications. The initiative offers significant benefits for customers and substantial opportunities for Dynamics CRM Partners.
With the convergence of Mobile, Social and Cloud technologies well under way, leading companies are now looking to deploy modern, customer-centric business processes as mobile experiences first--and desktop or Web experiences second.

The CWR Mobility Mobile First initiative provides a strategy that IT organizations can adopt to help their business rapidly accomplish these goals using Microsoft Dynamics CRM and CWR Mobile CRM.

CWR Mobile CRM will enable Partners to deliver custom solutions that deliver compelling new business capabilities and meet customer operation and TCO requirements. The Mobile First initiative will unleash a wave of new custom application development opportunities, as custom mobile applications based on Dynamics CRM become easier and more cost effective than ever before to build, deploy and maintain.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.3 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4000 GPU running at 650-1100 MHz on a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

THE exploration of what may be one of the world's largest untapped oil reserves is about to begin, with the arrival next week of the deadline for companies to submit requests to prospect for oil in the waters around the Falkland Islands.
But too little attention has been paid to the effects of oil extraction on the islands and their 2000-odd inhabitants, says Peter Prynn of the London consultancy Environmental Resources Management. Prynn warned in a 1994 report on the consequences of an oil rush, commissioned by the Falklands government, that oil industry development would "run the risk of destroying everything which gives the Falklands their unique character".
A total of 50 000 square kilometres of seabed are up for grabs, divided into 19 "tranches" in shallow waters north and south of the islands. Companies will be charged an annual fee of $30 per square kilometre for the right to ...

Shabbat Menu – Easiest Roasted Lamb
2 comments | Leave Comment
In this week's parsha Bo, we witness the final three plagues against Egypt. In preparation for the final plague, the Children of Israel are commanded to sacrifice a lamb and sprinkle blood on their doorposts. When we commemorate the Exodus on Seder night, we have a tradition to refrain from eating roast meat or lamb so that it does not appear that we are trying to replace the Paschal lamb. Since Passover is still months away and lamb has a starring role this week, we decided to try a six-ingredient Roasted Lamb with Lemon Potatoes that is going to turn heads this Shabbos.

|0 units
The passive infrared detector (PID) motion sensor SE-10, also called a passive infrared (PIR) sensor, detects movement of infrared light sources at 7 to 14 μm. People emit infrared radiation from 8 to 14 μm, which makes this an excellent sensor for detecting human movement. Two infrared detector "pixels" allow the detector to filter out changes affecting the whole sensing area, like weather or light.

Rachelette - Good luck, I will pray for you and your little one!
xakana- Congrats! I hope you feel more at ease now.
Megan - funny to say, but I hope you keep on feeling sick!
AFM I still have very few symptoms. Weird food cravings have started though. I grew up vegetarian and still eat very little meat normally but lately all I have wanted is "high quality protein." The other day I woke up wanting nothing but chicken teriyaki so I made myself some for breakfast! Today I HAD to have a hamburger and sent DH out for one.
Also, very strong sense of smell. I was praying with 2 other ladies at church and we were very close to one another and their breath was killing me! It was so distracting that I felt bad but they did not notice it from each other so I am pretty sure it was my super-smell. also I can barely handle feeding the dog in the AM because his food stinks! might have to pass off that chore to DH.
I am a crunchy, opinionated, Christian woman. Happily married to DH since 7/07. Mom to DD born 11/23/11 and furbaby Taj (our 10 yr. old border collie)

My ultrasound went great this morning, i go for a follow up on the 30th. pictures on my blog http://dreamingofanunassistedbirth.blogspot.com/2011/03/turkeys-first-ultrasound.html
Yay Kami!! So happy for you. My follow-up u/s is the 30th too, so we can be basket cases together that week.
Rachelette, hope all went well for you today too....thinking of you.
All well here, my symptoms are still keeping me good and reassured and practically puking. Still guarded but feeling great about the fact that I'm past the point of things going wrong in the last two and still feeling so pregnant and hopeful.

Thanks for the good thoughts. I didn't have any spotting on Sunday or Monday, so instead of rushing into the city and trying to get an emergency appt, I figured I'd go in tomorrow for my regularly scheduled appointment.
I'm also in the puking camp. Spent all day in bed, taking ginger to keep my food down!
Megan~ Hopefully we'll both have another great ultrasound on the 30th.Thankfully i have a busy week of appointments for my son the rest of this week he goes for a hearing test on the 23rd then for a developmental evaluation on the 25 so that will help the rest of the week go by something else to worry about lol praying his mild to moderate hearing loss was related to the ear infection he had in one ear when the test was done. I also plan on knitting more baby stuff to keep busy.
Rachelette~ Oh no on the puking. Glad the spotting stopped.
Kami - yay to a good ultrasound!
Rachelette - I'm glad the spotting stopped and I hope you get good news today at your appointment.
I'm hanging in there. It seems like everyday I'm just waiting for the next.

So the embryo still has a heartbeat, but apparently didn't grow as fast as my MD would have liked. In the 5 days between my first and second sonogram, the embryo went from 6 wks and 1 day to 6 weeks and 4 days rather than 6. The MD said that it could easily be a measuring error, and so I have to go back next week for another measurement, which I hope will show better growth. My acupuncturist gave me treatments to help sustain the pregnancy and asked me to cancel a trip this weekend and get lots of bedrest.
Has anyone else had this and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy and baby?
Hugs, Rachel! I don't have a positive experience to share BUT those measurements (especially at this early stage) are plus/minus 3 days, as I'm sure you know. So being off by two days, this early, really doesn't necessarily mean a thing. Even IF you had the same tech and machine both times, there are many things that could throw the measurements off by the tiniest fraction of a mm and that means days at this point! So there is plenty of room for hope. We're here to help you get through this week, which I'm sure won't be an easy one. I agree with your acupuncturist, do whatever you can to be kind and gentle to yourself. Do things that make you feel happy, serene, and cared for. And stay off google (says the hypocrite.....)!!!

Thank you so much! The advice is awesome! Though I did find a few stories where women were told their fetuses hadn't grown in 2 weeks and were all ready for an m/c and hey presto the fetus rallied and caught up.
I feel like sometimes being so heavily monitored isn't the best thing, because it is pretty anxiety provoking. Especially because there is very little anyone can really do at this stage.
Rachelle~ They didn't give it much time to grow, i also agree maybe they didn't measure just right and i wouldn't worry about a measurement being off by 2days.
it's official I've lost it lol anyone want to weigh in on the if I'm imaging twins.. i posted pictures on my blog . I had a good friend look and she thinks it could be twins her dh even agreed. http://dreamingofanunassistedbirth.blogspot.com/2011/03/hmm-twins-or-i-really-am-loosing-my.html
Kami--I think it's really hard to tell, lol. That could be pretty much any organ and I'd think they'd have caught it if it was a twin (certainly not definitely, lol). Are you hoping for twins?
BTW, thanks for sharing your u/s photo, it helps me get through this stage seeing what my baby probably looks like (although I'm a week further along).
Musing Mommy
Rachel - just take it easy and hope for the best. You and your baby will be in my prayers! I think it can be hard to know every little detail but it is also hard not knowing anything. I don't have my first apointment until the 31st!

I drink a lot of herbal tea these days. I used to be a Earl Grey gal, but I'm taking a break from real tea for at least the first trimester. I've been drinking lots of mint tea, some chamomile, sometimes ginger, sometimes a fruity, tart herbal blend. I also drink water with a little lemon juice in it pretty regularly. Perhaps buy a bottle of lemon juice to keep in the fridge for when you run out of actual lemons? And I really love carbonated water these days, but don't have it around as often as I'd like. :)
Oops! I was trying to reply to a different thread and somehow my comment got published here. :blush
This is how I feel too. Last time with my m/c I wished I didn't have any ultrasounds at all and it just happened without being in stressful limbo the whole time. I am going to try a doppler at my next appointment but an u/s is definanitly not on the table until the anatomy scan unless the midwives give me a good reason as to why I should get one. I stress too much as it is and don't need anything extra!
Anyway Rachelette, you are in my thoughts and do your best to stay positive. It makes all the difference in the world.
Awesome vegan mom to wolverine 11/11 and sabertooth 11/13 and partner to a we also have
Hi all,
I'm freshly pregnant. I've got a nine and a seven year old and we lost our son in 2008. Our rainbow boy was born in September 2009. We talked about having another baby MAYBE. But I am 34 and still nursing my 18 month old. I wasn't sure I was wanting another but feeling blessed to have gotten a positive today. I haven't really told anyone other than my husband and a close friend. Low and behold...a PAL thread. Fate? :) So now I can admit it. I am terrified. I don't remember being this scared with my rainbow. I thought if I ever did this again it would be easier. It's not. Ha ha. Is it ever? When we lost our son, I think I always knew during the time I was pregnant that it wasn't going to work out. I would say stuff like "I'm far enough along now that if we lost this baby, it would be terrible." I just feel a sense of doom again but I don't know if it's shock at being pregnant, a "feeling", or just normal fears. I guess I need the dust to settle a little and see.
Anyway, glad to find company. It felt good to type that out.
Congratulations Lisa! And I love that you have minions!
Thanks Tank! I definitely know what you mean about the anxiety. I am trying to remember that the little one is sitting in a stew of all my hormones and stress so the best thing I could do is to just focus on loving him/her and relaxing, but that is proving awfully hard to do! It was really helpful to hear from people who had healthy babies that their sonograms showed different growth patterns. Perhaps my MD is just preparing me for the worst by not reassuring me....
You are in my thoughts as well, and I'm hoping we both have lovely November babies this Fall!
Welcome Lisa!

Nina I had the *exact* same thing happen with this pg - the few days leading up to 6 weeks I started to have a bad feeling and symptoms eased off for a while. The same thing I'd had happen with both losses. That's why I was so sure we'd see a non-viable pregnancy on the ultrasound at 6w4d, but lo and behold we had a healthy heartbeat this time. So you just never know. My symptoms picked back up a lot at 7 weeks, I think that is a somewhat typical hormonal fluctuation pattern....
Welcome Lisa! It's a really fine line between paranoia and gut instinct, isn't it? Hang in there!
I understand what some of you are saying about being highly monitored, sometimes it is better to just go with the flow and not worry about what you don't know. But as someone who's had two different "missed" miscarriages I personally feel much better knowing. Going around thinking I was still pregnant for 3 weeks when I wasn't was the worst part of my first loss. If I'd had an ultrasound when I wanted to and known right away, I could have processed it and dealt with it much better than I did. It was impossible to trust my body and instincts after that experience. With my second loss, as excruciating as it was to wait out 3 weeks to miscarry naturally, I was able to fully process and grieve and in the end was glad to have known. I came out of it much healthier. But that's just me, just another perspective....I think which ever is going to allow you to relax the most - knowing or not knowing - is the right path for you obviously.
Kami I can't see a thing personally but who in the world knows on these early blurry u/s! I've certainly heard of twins not being spotted that early because they're still so tiny it's easy to "hide", especially if the doc isn't looking for them!

And our rainbow is here! E 10/11
Hi all! I'm in the middle of my "first two weeks of knowing I'm pregnant," which is always the most stressful for me. My first pregnancy I found out I was pregnant at 7 1/2 weeks and miscarried exactly 2 weeks later. My second pregnancy was an early loss (~5 weeks). My third pregnancy I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks, and exactly 2 weeks later, I was in the ER while my husband and I were on vacation with an ectopic pregnancy. Because my tube was in the process of bursting (thus the extraordinary pain, the only time I've ever been a 10/10 on the pain scale), they had to remove the baby and tube. They did leave my ovary though... Since then, I've had two girls, but the first two weeks of me knowing are always super stressful. I had my first beta test on Monday (20 dpo), and my next is today at 10 am. I'm hoping that the number has sky-rocketed so that there is no question of miscarriage (at this point) or ectopic. I'd prefer not to get an u/s, but I will if there's even a question of an ectopic because I want to save my one tube if possible. Hang in there ladies! This beginning is always tough.
Hi everyone - may I join you?
I have a almost 3 yo DS. I had a m/c (my first and hopefully last!) in early December. I am currently 6 weeks 1 day. I went for my fist appt today. I had had 2 beta tests prior to the visit (first was 3422 this past Friday and yesterday's was 9224 so I guess that's good. I wasn't going to get an u/s (I really want to keep them to a minumum) but I caved and let her do a really fast one. (it took all of about 90 seconds) because I really wanted to know how far along i was and I hadn't been tracking that closely this time. No heartbeat to be seen, but I know it;'s still early. Anyway Im trying not to get anxious about all this, but the next few weeks - month are going to be tough!

Hi, I'm Joy, unexpectedly prego for the 12th time with (prayerfully, hopefully) baby # 5. I am due November 29th.
I have had 5 early losses and 2 second trimester losses. I have all boys so far, (though one of my 2nd tri losses was a girl) ages 9, nearly 7, 3 and a 1/2, and 8 months old. I am very happy to be pregnant again, though nervous with pregnancies so close together on top of my loss history. Lots of prayer and intentionally putting off my fear and anxiousness and putting on faith and peace. Trying to stay off the roller-coaster as much as I can, some days it works and some...not so much! :)
DH&Me Christ follower, homeschooler, gardener, (insert lots of additional crunchiness here) chicken mama, & occasionally blogger. Mama of boys 9,7,3.5,&11months....& SURPRISE expecting a BOY in November! 7 sweet-babes gone too soon.
I have read many posts, but am new to this. I am pregnant for the fifth time. I have a 4 yr old and 10 mo old baby and two spirit babies. I am supposed to be about 8 wks, but ultrasound measured a 6 wk baby. I have had a hard time because I have had an unusual amount of pain and learned that I have a sub chronic hemorage. Has anyone else had this? Since I have had a blighted ovum before I was worried I would miscarry when the first ultrasound showed no baby, but the second one showed baby with heartbeat and this clot. I don't know where my mind should be right now. Also does anyone know of any herbs ok in pregnancy that can help with blood clots?
