This is a post I'm putting up at all my Blogs, even though that particular Blog may be unaffected due to scheduled posting, etc. Blog posts may be down a little at the moment and that for the last week or so. I have been ill with various illnesses and complaints for the last several weeks, so I have now decided to take the next week off from most Blogging activities in an attempt to rest and recover – if I can while still actually doing my very physically demanding actual job in the real world. I hope to return to Blogging full time in about a week's time.

Bit of a Break
Just a small note to let my readers know that I will soon be returning to this Blog and my other Blogs after a short break. I took a couple of days off and went on a short trip, then returned home to scenes of a major storm and more damage around the place, with no electricity for a short period. Also when I went away I forgot to pack the power lead for my lap top.
I had originally not planned any breaks from Blogging, so a series of events has led to my breaking from posting.
Annual Leave Break – 2 Weeks Off
Let me just take this opportunity to thank all of the visitors to my Blog(s) – except the spammers of course. Thankfully the majority of spam is removed without having to check it over. I would love for the real comments to be posted without having to check them first, however there is still a lot of spam that makes it through and that needs to be separated from the good stuff.
It is time for me to take a break from Blogging and I have chosen to take my break while on annual leave from work, which will allow me to do a number of things – get healthier, get some rest, hopefully travel a little at some point, read some books, etc. It will also give my regular visitors a chance to have a break from my ramblings and carry on. There is plenty of content to look at in the archives though, so feel free to browse those while I take my 2 week hiatus.
So thanks again and feel free to leave some thoughts and comments along the way. Have a great couple of weeks :-)
A Few Days Break
I'll be taking the next few days off – recovering from yet another bout of pneumonia. Just keep on getting it. Sad :-( The next post will probably be Monday.
Thanks for liking, reading and visiting the Blog from time to time – appreciate it.
Plinky Prompt: What Would You Do with a Six-Month Break from Work?
This question is way too easy to answer. If I had a six-month break from work I would travel around Australia, with particular emphasis on Western Australia. I would need a bit of money also, because that would enable me to do so.
Plinky Prompt: What I'll Remember Most About 2011
This is a difficult question to answer – because there has not really been any 'big' events or happenings in my life this year (that I can remember anyway). I must lead a really boring life – which is probably true.
I guess the thing I will most remember, for the next little while anyway, will be the last month of the year. I have been on vacation from work for the entire month of December and have had a great time travelling around the state – well northern NSW anyhow. It has been just the break I have needed and will perhaps save my sanity for a bit.
Persecution News: What was Missed While on My Break – Part 2
The following are articles from Compass Direct News from the period I was on my break:
Back from a Break: Much Needed
Well, I'm back from a rather large break which I have to say was much needed. Now that I'm back it is time to probably reflect a little on just what this Blog is about – or rather, where it will be going into the future. This is something I'll be thinking over a little in coming weeks and I guess what the Blog looks into the future like will be the result of these reflections. So I guess this is really something of a nothing post now that I think about it – except to say that I am back.
Plinky Prompt: Describe Your Favorite Place to Drive
I love driving about the place, discovering new places and enjoying the journey. I love to travel and exploring the countryside. With that said, I obviously enjoy most trips and it is therefore difficult to pick a favorite place to drive.
One of the trips I do like to take on a regular basis is up the Pacific Highway to Coffs Harbour here in Australia. It's about a 4 hour run from here – so not too taxing.
It's just a nice little break visiting a few wild spots along the way, picking up a few things at roadside fresh produce stalls, etc.
Tensions High after Christians Killed in Bombings
Islamic extremist Boko Haram sect attacks churches in Borno, Plateau states.
LAGOS, Nigeria, December 28 (CDN) — Tensions continued to mount in the Christian community in Maiduguri, capital of Borno state in northern Nigeria, following the killing of a Baptist pastor and five other Christians on Christmas Eve.
The Rev. Bulus Marwa and the other Christians were killed in the Dec. 24 attacks on Victory Baptist Church in Alemderi and a Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN) congregation in Sinimari by the outlawed Islamic Boko Haram sect opposed to Western education.
Those killed at the Baptist church, which was set ablaze, included choir members Philip Luka, 22, and Paul Mathew, 21, as well as 50-year-old Christopher Balami and Yohana Adamu. Philip Sopso, a 60-year-old a security guard, was killed at the COCIN church while 25 other persons were said to have been injured during the serial attacks by the Islamic group.
"It is sad that when Christians were supposed to be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, some people, out of wickedness, would come to perpetrate such evil," said Borno State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria the Rev. Yuguda Ndirmva.
The Boko Haram members reportedly first stormed the COCIN church in two vehicles and detonated bombs that shattered the gate of the worship center and killed the security guard.
Many Christians have taken refuge to avoid further attacks as soldiers and police keep watch at churches and other strategic locations in the state.
Danjuma Akawu, who survived the attack on the Baptist church, said "they hacked the two choir members using knives and petrol bomb before heading to the pastor's residence, where he was killed."
Borno Gov. Ali Modu Sheriff said he had alerted police to the possibility of an attack on churches during Christmas.
"It is very unfortunate and sad for the Christian community to be attacked and people killed without any genuine cause," Sheriff said.
Speaking during a visit to the Baptist church on Saturday (Dec. 25), the governor noted that the attack on the Christian community was an attempt by Boko Haram to create conflict between Christians and Muslims in the state. Several Boko Haram bomb blasts in Christian areas of Jos on Dec. 24 that killed scores of people were said to be an attempt to create the same inter-religious conflict.
Borno state, in northeastern Nigeria, is largely populated by Muslims who have disowned some activities of Boko Haram as contrary to Islam.
Police Commissioner Mohammed Abubakar admitted a security lapse on the part of his divisional police officers, whom he said had been told to watch out for Boko Haram members.
The activities of the Islamic extremist Boko Haram, whose names means "Western education is sin," were crushed by police in 2009 with the arrest of many of its members and the killing of its leader.
In retaliation, the group had killed policemen and was recently responsible for a prison break to set free its members in the Borno state capital.
Worried about the safety of Christians in Borno state, the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, asked the federal government to curb the growing trend of terrorism in parts of the country.
"We can no longer allow this group of disgruntled elements to get away with these acts of terrorism in Nigeria," he said.
The general superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, demanded the arrest and prosecution of the Boko Haram members and others to serve as a deterrent.
"A situation in which feuds easily lead to the burning of churches and the endless killings of church ministers and innocent citizens is an abhorrent trend which must not be allowed to continue," Pastor Kumuyi said. "The initiative rests on the doorsteps of the security agencies to bring this unfortunate trend to an end."

Oddometer: 1,573
So, we are riding very fast, when in one of the road twist we see Andres oncoming really really fast, and he see us and starts signaling desperately to turn Back! and follow him.. we (me) are thinking WTF?...
then right immediately shows up Efrain riding as hell also and signaling us as well very urgently to turn back and ride fast!!
I immediatly (and JC) pictured a scene of bunch of mayans chasing Andres and Efrain to get them.. My first thought was (knowing Andres) that he got the driver and "LE PUSO UNA MADRIZA" (got him beaten very bad), so I think damn! the locals saw the beat up on the driver and they are chasing us back!
hell! I got to go quick!
JC is behind me and turns back first, then I in my desperation I kill the motor and I'm having a hard time to turn on the bike again...
While I'm working on turning the engin on, I'm constantly looking at my mirror, just expecting soon the cars or trucks trying to get us...
JC is riding already and slows a bit when he sees my trouble... then I managed to start on Pata de Perro and rev as hell....
I'm the last one now, and riding like freaking "Need for speed" movie
chekcing my mirror, and picturing the APOCALIPTO movie in my mind...
did you watch Apocalipto movie? when the mayan guy is being chased to get him killed? well, I felt the same... We were in Mayan territory you know?

If you're taking a picture of yourself in a bathroom mirror and I see you holding your phone in it, you need not apply. Ha!
Throwback episode of Sunny, circa 2009. Mac and Dennis's (Always Sunny) futile efforts to create a Match.com profile for Charlie were glorious. guilty favorite food? "Milksteak," HOBBIES: "magnets," and don't get me started on "people's knees" ...those really grind my gears. I am formerly a Hoboken lady of 2 years (circa 2010), but made the rumble into 'burbia for work after a Grad year in Brisbane, Australia. Yes, OZ has been knocked off the bucket list and a decent adventure at that... involving Jurassic Park-esque creatures, a Reef under-wonderland, and heaps of $$$ dropped on dry cider and wine. Oi oi, I'm just impressed decent cider came out this year. AUS and US are always two years above or behind each other. Aside from work, family is important. That, alongside with LAUGHTER AND WIT are huge for me. You MUST have a reasonable sense of humor. I, honestly, don't know what I would do if I couldn't laugh at myself certain days. Note: I am equipped with moderate, friendly sarcasm. I appreciate laughing, makes the day go by. A good guy for me: hmmm… someone laid-back (without being boring, I like a good surprise once in a while), RELIABLE, genuine, and gentlemanly (chivalry is NOT dead, nor will it ever be). I definitely prefer someone whimsical, but with a grounded lifestyle (i.e. don't be that guy lost in Kazakhstan or far worse, end up in jail in the next 5 minutes). A splash of controlled audaciousness is always fun. If this works out or not, I promise I'm not an awkward person by nature. Never hurts to increase my network/friends. I'm sure we have some good stories to discuss either way. Feel like a sky dive in May with me? Whooooo's coming with me? Parachute over me.

I enjoy my beach house (LI, NY) There's been some extraordinary times of grilling, sunning, fishing and boating. I could hike, spin, gym, and do some long distance running. It's my trainers choice sometimes. I desire a vacation somewhere warm.
Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, PA
I adore good movies (and have an eclectic DVD selection – sprinkled with Will Ferrell and Wes Anderson classics). When I have time to watch On Demand, I appreciate Shotime (i.e., Dexter, Weeds, to name a few)….Also, some Sunny in Phili, The Office..
Restaurants, ethnic byob's, happy hours- whatever is clever... I like seafood, no allergies.

I stayed at the hotel together with my family while we were travelling across Switzerland. This hotel is located in the great location whereby it is nearby a train station and other transport connections. The staff was very friendly and helpful: the receptionist at the chech in desk answered to all of our questions and showed how to reach several sightseeing objects in Bern. I was also astonished how spacious was our room and it made our stay at this hotel even more comfortable. The choice of breakfast buffet was also enough in order to have a proper breakfast. read hotel review

- June 2013
The only thing which you pay the location is! The room was on the way there at 14:00 o'clock still not ready. In that respect, it stank, the ancient window did not even a rubber seal locked and are definitely not tamper-proof, especially the balconies are on fire stairs accessible. The cable mild weather conditions make in the bathroom there was peeled. In the course of the balconies there were cigarette butts and the wallpaper on the walls loose partly slightly. Only the painting in the entire hotel seemed to be ok. Also it seems to us an open ... house for everyone to be. Control is rather poorly as the staff prefer sitting outside smoking. At the breakfast for friday 20.- we did and well-kept us on the train station. read hotel review

Price-performance ratio was definitely not, torn out socket, lamp without coverglass, bathtub very bad happening, large stains on the carpet, tv with broken remote control and so on. Cannot friday 170.-/ night, the breakfast with friday 20.- is also too expensive for the offer. The location is very central, the room facing the train station. Are with the window open according to. read hotel review

The hotel serves it's purpose. You have a bed and you can sleep. But that is about all. A total lack of atmosphere. It really is about time they fresh up the hotel. On the other hand the staff, especially the reception staff is very friendly. Breakfast was poor. Location is fantastic oposite the railway station. So if it is about a bed to sleep I would recommend the hotel. If you like more atmosphere avoid this place. In that way mixed feelings. read hotel review

mance needed for applications that have traditionally relied on expensive cooled devices.
For both cryocooler and TE cooler technologies, there are a number of commercial market drivers, separate from sensor cooling applications, that will drive evolutionary improvements in SWaP. Over the next 10-15 years, it is reasonable to expect that these improvements will achieve overall reductions in SWaP on the order of 20-30 percent.
In addition to a proliferation of sensor numbers and types, new sensors must be developed to exploit unique target and background phenomenologies and be capable of processing significantly larger volumes of data. Advanced technology sensors have the potential to be used in novel sensing situations—for example, the vetting of potential enemies or the identification of combatants and noncombatants in a counterinsurgency operations. IR sensors with high-performance imaging FPAs have that capability and have long been critical to U.S. relative military superiority. Maintaining this superiority requires continual improvements in the technologies required for advanced ROICs and detector materials growth and continual awareness and incorporation of advances originating from both domestic and foreign developments.

Crew Noticeboard: Creators Club, Apex Stalkers, 44Bullets and Others Now Recruiting
Crew Leader CalebSC, founder of the Creators Core Club, has pulled together an army of 200 Creator power-users who have amassed over 2,700 original published Jobs between them. We applaud Caleb and the Crew for assembling a truly collaborative club of Creator enthusiasts who make, share and help perfect each other's Jobs. You can also check out their dedicated website at www.creatorscoreclub.com.
"We design and promote custom Jobs (Races, Deathmatch) created by us using the online GTAV Content Creator.
We are looking for individuals who love the Content Creator and have created Races and DMs to play and share. This is absolutely a different experience than any other Crew on GTA to date."
Despite loving to raise hell on the streets of Los Santos, TheSource2100 and his Crew Psycho Anarchy really seem to look after their own. These guys are seriously organized – with a dedicated website (www.psycho-anarchy.com), Facebook page, and coordinated Crew meetings.
"Looking for potential members to add to my Crew. We're PSN based and we have a decent amount of active members. We hold occasional meetings and also participate in Crew-only activities & sessions. We love to cause chaos & mayhem. But, we do have respect for one another. We prefer you to have a mic and be fairly active with the Crew. For more info, check out our Crew page and request an invite if you're interested in joining Psycho Anarchy."
All about flexing speed and skill after the checkered flag waves, -Rik96- and his roster of ravenous racers the Apex Stalkers Crew have created an almost-300 strong squad (between both their PS3 and their Xbox 360 branches) of speed demons. The Apex Stalkers ("The Clean Racing Crew") host their own forum for member discussion and have begun scheduling regular road runner meets. They're also heavy on Snapmatic and the Content Creator with 3,000+ photos taken and 527 total Jobs created as of press time..
"Any clean racers out there are encouraged to join! Just note that we will be watching for dirty drivers, Crew killers, and general trouble making. Promotions are also handed out for instances of helping team mates, clean racing, good performances, and most of all, activity on the official forum.
Rules: Just try to respect your fellow racers, we all know the occasional scrape can be fun when under pressure but no deliberate ramming.
Games: Primarily racing. Please guys, avoid grinding criminal records and such... It's not a rule but I'm sure we're not here to grind.
We do also love other game modes, all in the name of fun, for example, proximity skydiving is a bit of a trend atm.
We have recently switched to invite only so that we only get the most active and dedicated members.
The process to join is:
Sign up on our forum.
Post a request to join in the recruitment section.
We will organise to run some races with you there to see if you're a good fit for the Crew.
If you are a good fit, then we invite you!
Open at the moment, but may go the way of invite only when numbers get big, this is to ensure we only have active members taking up our spots."

The 63-member Damned Legion MC has been actively assigning Hierarchy ranks and delegating responsibilities amongst their motorcycle enthusiast clique. These guys know the key ingredient for any Crew is solidarity. To that end, they've launched a dedicated site (with a redesign on the way) to keep their members updated and encourage respect amongst their ranks. In the words of Crew Representative El_Goobong420:
"The essence of a good motorcycle Crew is Brotherhood, Unity, Strength. The essence of a GREAT MC is all of those plus one more ingredient ... YOU!!! The Damned Legion MC knows exactly what you've been wanting in this Crew business. Fun--Unity--Brotherhood--Active--Reliable.. Yeah, that's right; it's FUBAR that such an awesome Crew can exist. And it does exist! All it needs is you, you, and YOU!!!
Come check it out, like what you see. If you want we'd even be willing to friend you for a hang around if you really want to try before you ride. It's a great family of GTA outlaws that is ever growing. Link for our club is below! Go now!!"
The self-proclaimed "band of misfits" known as The Crystal Maze Crew and led by the charismatic beccazombie certainly seems like a good time.
"!!! Join The Crystal Maze, you muthas!!! Are you ready for the sexiest Crew in the universe? Our merry band of misfits will shower you with Top Fun and Water Sports and you will f*cking love it, you filthy beggars.
1. We like mics, so that you can hear our dulcet tones!
2. Must know the words to Barbie Girl by Aqua.
3. If you don't smell like Gamestation, you're not doing it right (mix of hot refuse and teenage angst)."
Finally, this Noticeboard edition's featured Crew recruitment videos come to us via The 4 Wolves Crew and the 44Bullets Crew who've both put together some pretty compelling visuals to underscore their squads' strengths.
The 4 Wolves are a proud quartet led by W1ldthing93 and Commissioners b3ndaniels, imentalist and R4BiDR400N – but they're now looking to create a larger Crew appropriately called the 4 Wolves Army. Watch their promo video below to see if you want to be down.
"Grand Theft Auto 5 Crew promo video, showing the 4 wolves and what we like to do.
We will be taking on members for a new clan called the 4 Wolves Army
Special thanks to The 4 Wolves, Deejayanthon and R*."
The 44Bullets are a long-running group that's been stunting on YouTube since GTAIV. Their Social Club Crew now has 72 members and counting, so if you're all about death-defying, jaw-dropping flights of fancy – you might want to align yourself with these pre-eminent showoffs.
"We are a GTA stunt Crew who makes YouTube videos and currently are about to reach 2 million views. We have been GTA fans throughout the whole series of games and started making stunt videos back from GTA4. Currently we are at 70 members and we are now looking to expand on that with people who are like-minded and have high skill levels when it comes to gaming. We are all mature gamers and we do not just stunt we also produce music in real life and are connected to some of the best artists around with our productions. When it comes to people trying to mess with us while recording, we still like to wipe them out together if they come with that intent and we all have very high ranks and k/d ratios.
If you are interested in being a part of this as we cross the 2 million mark milestone then click my name and send a message or apply to be in our Crew 4T4B from that page and I will respond asap. Looking forward to seeing you in our future videos and If you would like to watch one of our newest videos and songs then click this GTAV montage below. Cya soon.. hooorah!"
Share what your Crew is about with the community in the comments section below. We only ask that you don't spam (one post per Crew - and that includes pasting the same recruitment message in multiple articles). Please keep all such recruitment comments strictly on this and future Crew Noticeboard articles. This is also an ideal opportunity to show off your Crew pride with any fun group Snapmatic pics, Crew Creations or awesome gameplay vids that show everyone why your squad is the place to be or the team to beat. Remember to leave a link to your Crew's Social Club page so that you're easily spotted by those looking to answer your call.

Fire-Sale FDI or Business as Usual?
Using a new data set, we examine the characteristics and dynamics of cross-border mergers and acquisitions during emerging-market financial crises, that is, so-called "fire-sale FDI." Our findings shed fresh light on whether the transactions undertaken during crisis periods differ in fundamental ways from those undertaken during more tranquil periods. The increase in foreign acquisitions during crises is mainly driven by non-financial acquirers targeting firms in the same industry rather than foreign financial firms. This increase in acquisition activity in a given industry is unrelated to the industry's dependence on external finance. There is also no evidence of an increase in the size of stakes bought during crises. In terms of the effect of crises on emerging-market mergers and acquisitions, we find little evidence that foreign acquisitions are resold, or "flipped," more frequently than domestic acquisitions. Moreover, flipping rates are uncorrelated with the industry's dependence on external finance. Finally, the probability of being flipped to a domestic buyer does not differ across crisis and non-crisis periods. All of these results are robust to alternative empirical specifications, different definitions of crises, and the inclusion of macroeconomic controls. Contrary to conventional wisdom, fire-sale FDI and asset flipping by foreign firms appear to have been "business as usual."

Behavior Profiling for Robust Anomaly Detection
Date Added: Feb 2010
Format: PDF
Internet attacks are evolving using evasion techniques such as polymorphism and stealth scanning. Conventional detection systems using signature-based and/or rule-based anomaly detection techniques no longer suffice. It is difficult to predict what form the next malware attack will take and these pose a great challenge to the design of a robust intrusion detection system. The authors focus on the anomalous behavioral characteristics between attack and victim when they undergo sequences of compromising actions and that are inherent to the classes of vulnerability-exploit attacks.

Roger Harris: General Mills pushes back against social media bullies
The rapid development of social media has created a unique opportunity for businesses to communicate with consumers.
And consumers with businesses.
Through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms, companies can deliver their message directly to millions of potential customers at the same time.
Feedback is virtually immediate.
Social media users aren't shy about letting the world know what they think about a company's products and policies, posting comments, photos and videos on the platform of their choice.
The online chatter is often lively as customers banter back and forth about the pros and cons of new products.
The social media conversation offers a rich and valuable source of consumer information for businesses.
Unfortunately, social media commentary can turn ugly, and companies are forced to closely monitor what is said about them online.
Responding to social media attacks can be tricky — businesses don't want to alienate potential customers. But sometimes companies have no choice but to push back when the comments get out of line.
General Mills recently found itself in that position when one of its television commercials drew the ire of certain social media bullies.
The ad featured a multiracial family talking about the "heart healthy" benefits of Cheerios. A YouTube version attracted thousands of viewers, most of whom liked it, but, sadly, some viewers posted angry, racist comments.
In response, General Mills quickly had the offensive comments removed. More importantly, the company refused to pull the ad, denying the racists what would have been a very public victory if the commercial had been taken off the air.
Given the growing influence of social media, it would have been understandable — regrettable but understandable — had the company opted to avoid controversy and pulled the ad.
"There are many kinds of families and Cheerios just wants to celebrate them all," Meredith Tutterow, associate marketing director for Cheerios and Multigrain Cheerios at General Mills, told The New York Times.
It's disturbing that some people cling to racist attitudes and even more disturbing that they apparently feel no shame in posting public comments that confirm their idiocy.
The anonymity of social media makes it easy for the haters out there to attack companies and individuals.

inexpensive but safe hotels in florence
My daughter and her friend need an inexpensive, but safe, hotel to stay in for one night in Florence. Any suggestions? They will be there June 1.
My daughter and her friend need an inexpensive, but safe, hotel to stay in for one night in Florence. Any suggestions? They will be there June 1.
Every hotel in Florence is safe and Florence is very safe. Price is determined by hotel amenities and location (historical center tends to be more expensive than outside of it). Please define inexpensive in Euro. A double room in the city center is unlikely to be under 80 euro, even at the cheapest B&B, especially in June.
Anne, Take a look at Hostel Archi Rossi. They have private rooms (in the Annex), in addition to dorms. That might fit your defininition of inexpensive, and it is definitely safe.
Sharon, can they leave their luggage there all day? they will just be coming into Italy for study abroad program and can't go to host family until next day. Roberto I guess I'm looking for something in $120 (US) and less range since they only need it for one night. Don't need anything fancy just somewhere they can leave their luggage, explore around some, and sleep off jet lag
Have to agree with the post above. All hotels in Florence are 'safe'. If you are looking for a relatively cheap place near to the station the Relais Tiffany is quite a good bet - http://relais-tiffany-firenze.com/
Anne, We stayed in a private room in the Annex, so were the only ones in there. Most hostels have some way to secure luggage.
In Oct. 2011 my sister, niece and I stayed 2 nights at Hotel Accademia, www.hotelaccademiafirenze.com (in R.S. bk)which is between the train station and Duomo and super easy walk from the train station and just steps from the Medici Chapel. Walking directions from train station were on their website. We had a huge triple with bathroom and I can't recall what we paid (included breakfast)but then prices will vary according to time of the year. They were very nice and held our luggage for us all day Sunday as our train back to Rome wasn't until 7:30 pm or so. My niece was in Rome for the semester on a study abroad and we took the train to Florence for a wkend while we were visiting her. Have been to Florence a number of times and have never felt unsafe there.
Thanks Janet! I've been emailing with Thea at the hotel you suggested. Have found out June is not the time to travel cheaply haha. The place looks great and location looks even better. I think it will be great for the girls. Thanks so much to everyone for your advice. It's so nice to be able to turn to the experts!

A framerate of 20 to 32 in places with lighting and HDR fx is still NOT what I call a very good framerate. It's playable, but I really hope the final code will run HDR fx at least 10 frames per second better.
I downloaded latest Fraps and tested, the score much the same as you.
At 1024x768x32 16xAF, all settings maxed included HDR set ON and Forceware's quality setting, I get 17 to 30fps in places with HDR and then I turned off HDR in the option and back to the game, to my surprise I get 17 to 30fps in same places, it much the same in previous Splinter Cell titles Here is no performance loss when turn on HDR, with HDR on, the game run much smooth as well as HDR turn off too, I never get as low as 10fps, it never slowdown or chopping like some tests in 3DMark 2005.

6/18/15-Something Current-LAD-1,TEX-0 by Jon SooHoo and Jill Weisleder/LA Dodgers
I came out in two of the Dodger photos with fan friends Cindy Murphy, Alan Fostet and other Dodger fans. Thanks Jon SooHoo! Thanks Jill Weisleder!! The night of the Balk-Off. Dodgers vs Rangers. Hilarious the picture of Kike Hernandez dancing to Scott Van Slyke! Also in the pictures Norma & Pat. What a game winning it on walk-Off Balk-Off. Had to look at the replay several times to see Kela move his shoulder.

Road Trip to San Diego June 2015
I am heading to San Diego soon for my second trip there this year to see the Dodgers. I am excited to see Kershaw & Greinke pitch Friday and Saturday. The matchups this weekend are:
Friday: Kershaw against Despaigne
Saturday: Greinke against Kennedy. The game time on MLB says 7:10 & the same says on my ticket. Usually games on Saturday in San Diego start around 5.
Sunday: Bolsinger who had been a pleasant surprise fir the Dodgers with a record of 4-1 and an ERA of 2.08 takes the mound. The pitcher for the Padres has not been announced.
Although there is a June gloom, I see the forecast as fun fun fun at Petco Park. Go Dodgers!!
LA Times Book Club "Boys of Summer" Event at UCLA
This weekend I will be in San Diego but if I was not, I would definitely go to this event. From the back of the sport section of the LA Times:
LA Times Book Club names 'Boys of Summer' as its next selection
To celebrate this book, the joy of baseball, and our own Dodgers, we will be hosting an event at Jackie Robinson's alma mater, UCLA, in their prestigious Hall of Fame on Sunday, April 26. Author Roger Kahn, Dodger great Maury Wills, LA Times sports columnist Bill Plaschke and Dodger alumni will be there in person for a great conversation about baseball in our community. Mickey Kantor, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce and avid baseball fan, will moderate the conversation.
It looks to be a great event. Roger Kahn's book about the Brooklyn Dodgers back when he covered the team was the second baseball book I read. It is one of my favorites
Twas The Night Before Dodgers Opening Day 2015
Twas the Night before Opening Day and all through Dodger town
Dodger fans anxiously waited for the final countdown
At the stadium the awnings were hung with much care
in hope that in October they will again be there
The fans all sleepy snuggled in their bed
while visions of World Series danced in their heads
after finishing blogging and loading the MLB at Bat
I went upstairs to take a long nap
when my alarm kept making such a clatter
I sprang out my bed to see what was the matter
Away to Dodger Stadium we left in a dash
drove up I-10 but had to stop for some cash
On the mound, Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw,
Goes against James Shield for the Opening Day show
On Kershaw, on Adrian, On Uribe, on Puig, on Rollins, on Ellis
Give us a win fellas!
Giddiness! Opening Day is the reason
Good luck to my Dodgers and to all fans a good season!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward. Spring Training
In response to The Daily Post's weekly photo challenge: "Reward." I am a baseball junkie. I LOVE Baseball!! What better reward to a baseball junkie like me who had a long winter than to watch her Boys in Blue return? Spring Training is our fix!!
A reward is watching Clayton Kershaw throw again. A reward is getting an autograph from Dodgers future like shortstop Corey Seager

A tough week for LA Sports fan this week.
I mentioned this on facebook but not here.Last week we mourn two LA sports figures in Willie Davis and Merlin Olsen.
Willie Davis who still holds the all-time L.A. Dodgers records for the hits, extra-base hits, total bases, plate appearances, triples, and for the longest hitting streak, at 31 games. The last time I saw Willie Davis was at the RBI(Reviving Baseball in Inter-cities) dinner last year.
Merlin Olsen. As a Los Angeles…

Sixth Blogging Anniversary. Six Days until Pitchers and Catchers Report
On this day February 13, 2009, I decided to start a blog. It has been a labor of love. I always remember the day because it was a day before Valentines Day. So this is my
Sixth anniversary and it is six days until Pitchers and Catchers report for the Dodgers!!22 players have worn #6 for the Dodgers. They are:Lefty O'DoulSam LeslieBuddy HassettJohnny HudsonTony GiulianiJoe MedwickCarden GillenwaterHal PeckCharlie DressenJohn BoilingBill HartCarl FurilloRon FairlySteve GarveyJolbert CabreraBrent MayneJason GrabowskiKenny LoftonTony AbreuJoe TorreAaron MilesJerry Hairston Jr.
Pitchers and Catchers Report
Pitchers and Catchers Report. What Do these beautiful four words mean?
I asked Pepe Yniguez (Dodger Spanish Broadcaster for the last 18 years) what does it mean to him "Pitchers and Catchers report" He said "To me it means that It's time for Dodger Baseball! That the 2015 season is around First Base"
To me it marks the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. It means palm trees and the sound of batted baseballs. It means sun screens. It means mornings of hearing from beat writers about workouts on dewy grass outfields. It means batting cages and practice mounds. It means we finally will start getting baseball news everyday!
Getting daily baseball news about Pitchers and Catchers reporting brings me such freshets of pleasure.
We baseball fans await with much anticipation baseball news and that special sense of the upcoming season that feed our eternal hopes every Spring. We soak-up all the quotes from our grizzled Pitchers and Catchers.
I can more or less go into a cave during the Winter but I come out all giddy with excitement when I hear those words "Pitchers and Catcher report."

Video: Scully, Koufax and Hendley honored
What a great picture and video seeing Sandy Koufax and Bob Hendley together. This year September 9, will be the 50 year anniversary of Sandy Koufax perfect game.

"On a Thursday night at Dodger Stadium, the crafts of pitching and broadcasting came as close to perfection as we'll ever see," said Tom Verducci at Saturday's Baseball Writers Association of America dinner as he introduced the Willie, Mickey & the Duke Award, going to the Cubs' Bob Hendley and the Dodgers' Sandy Koufax and Vin Scully in recognizing the historical significance of the September 9, 1965 night that Scully broadcast Koufax's perfect game beating Hendley's one-hitter.
"The broadcast of the game, we've heard it a lot – at least I have," Koufax said, "and Vinny was so special, it's probably more exciting listening to him than it was doing it that night."
Hendley, who joined Koufax in accepting the award, noted that Saturday was the first time he had actually met Koufax. He also charmingly pointed out that five days after the perfect game, he outdueled Koufax with a four-hitter in…

But underneath the new success of the growing city lies a strange new villain known simply as,The Clockmaker.

Great life. Great job. (Looking for) Great Guy.
I am at an incredible point in my life where I love my job (I'm a preschool teacher), have incredible friends (from all over the world), and I love where I live. The only thing that is missing is my partner in crime/best friend/makeout buddy ;) I moved here from Michigan- Midwestern girl, through and through. Before that I was living and working in The Netherlands where I taught at an International School in The Hague for nearly 5yrs. That job changed my life forever... I traveled the world, met amazing people and found out that I could basically live anywhere if I had to. I am so grateful for my time abroad. That's actually what drew me to the Bay Area and to Google as a company... I craved another international environment and to continue learning about the people and the world around me. I come from a HUGE family and I'm obsessed with my 22 nieces and nephews. They are THE BEST. I spoil them like crazy and I'm the "cool Aunt" (yeah, I'm bragging! I earned that title, damnit.) I can tell you more (in person) about how my best friend from childhood and I got her Dad and my Mom together- parent trap style!!! I'm always up for an adventure, love being surrounded by people- the true extrovert, goofball, life of the party type.. But I know when to be serious (although I vote for not needing to ever be serious- it's more fun!) I am ready to meet "my person" and I know he has to be out there somewhere! Looking forward to hearing from you :) Cheers, Karen

I love music and am pretty open to different genres. I love the blues, especially hearing it live. I cant get enough of Sushi, Italian or Greek food.. mmm Favorite TV shows- How I Met Your Mother, New Girl, Glee.. House Hunters International? LOL

Inside Tract - On Why Academic Medical Centers Must Thrive
On Why Academic Medical Centers Must Thrive
Anthony N. Kalloo, M.D.
Date: July 5, 2013
If you ever needed reasons why academic medical centers need to be kept strong and impervious to the winds of sequesters, Medicare caps and NIH cutbacks, they're in this issue of Inside Tract.
Our clinician-scientists offered the know-how in designing and running clinical trials that helped bring a breakthrough—we don't use that word lightly—in therapy for hepatitis C. As you read this, they're considering how to adapt the bounty of more effective drugs for all of our patients, in every stage of the disease that's receptive.
Esteban Mezey's decade of research on fat-soluble vitamins fits into his new molecular findings to suggest that tapping a natural brake on liver cirrhosis is possible and worth large-scale testing. Xuhang Li's lab is on its way to useful biomarkers that not only point out a patient's subtype of inflammatory bowel disease but also report who risks serious complications.
And even though we weren't on the discovery end of newer, patient-friendly tactics for fecal incontinence, our clinicians have been quick to make them their own and alert patients who'd otherwise suffer.
We invite you to call on us to learn how we can contribute to your practice.

If the card gets warm, yes, it will have the fan ramp up a fair bit.
Using a 3'rd party item, such as EVGA's precision tool, you can change up the fan speeds at different temperatures.
The card is definitely audible when under load, but when I had mine, I never saw it hit those temperatures. I think the max I got to was 79C, and that was with Folding at Home running in the background all the time.
The card definitely is louder than my older 4870 and my current 580, but it should not be obtrusively so.
You might want to re-check your systems air-flow to help cool things down more and better. That's about all I can suggest.
Help to find cures for Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers.

Memphis rapper Snootie Wild's rattling -- but good humored! e.i.: he gone get them bricks and wrap 'em tighter than burritos, etc. -- breakout hit, "Yayo," is finally starting to take hold outside of the South. And now, in addition to a verse from CMG boss Yo Gotti, it boasts an icy Mr. Boomtown-directed video-- which leaves out the song's accompanying dance craze entirely, for some reason.

What is your favorite type of sushi?
I'm one of those people who doesn't eat sushi often enough to know there are even "types of sushi" ! Anything with sticky rice and soy sauce is sushi for me. And anyone who eats sushi all the time and instagrams it is a dork.
