My name is Yasmín, rhymes with serene. I'm getting my masters in clinical social work. Don't expect me to be able to summarize my enthusiasm, and spirit in this profile - theres a lifetime of variety in my character and interests. One thing I think you should know off the bat is that I care for myself and my health - among so many other things I am willing to put myself out there which is why Ive had more dates without using match.com then otherwise. Put yourself out there and throw caution to the wind. Looking good and taking care of yourself never hurts either.

Can I use my laptop display for my Desktop?
A laptop's screen lacks the ports that a typical monitor uses to receive input from a desktop computer because they were never meant to function as a stand-alone device. As a consequence of this fact, it is not possible to plug a desktop computer to laptop and use its screen as the display.
Are there workarounds?
Remote desktop
If you have both your desktop and laptop connected to a network, along with the proper permissions, you may use a Windows feature known as Remote Desktop Connection to control and display the desktop's content on a laptop computer.
Laptop no longer in use
If you have a good understanding of electronics, ample spare time, and no longer need an old laptop, you may manually solder a connection from the desktop to the laptop. Though there are YouTube instructional videos on the subject, it is a delicate, technical process and therefore not recommended as a common solution.

3 cups cake flour
2 cups vanilla sugar
4 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 whole vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/3 cups milk
5 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1. Adjust racks to upper and lower-middle position and preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 muffin tins with cupcake wrappers.
2. Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Blend well on low speed. With the tip of a knife, scrape the vanilla seeds out of the bean and add to the flour mixture. Add the butter and 1 cup of the milk, mix on low to blend. Raise the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes (batter will be light and fluffy).
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, remaining milk, and vanilla extract. Add to batter in 3 additions, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Stop when the egg mixture is just incorporated into the batter. Do not overbeat.
4. Using an ice cream scoop or a liquid measuring cup, fill each muffin tin 3/4 of the way with the batter. Bake until cupcakes are set on top (about 10-12 minutes), then rotate pans. Bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until tops spring back lightly when touched. Cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then remove to wire cooling racks.
Makes 24 cupcakes.

28 year old man | Brooklyn Park, MN, USA | Seeking women 21-28 within 10 miles of Minneapolis, MN
I am that dorky guy who apparently is that true gentlemen inside longing to be your Romeo.
What can I say about myself! Well I love to play sports such as hockey, softball, and any activities that allow me to get a great workout. Another hobby of mine is music. I have a keyboard, drumset, and acoustic guitar. I love to play them all! Have I traveled any places or want to? Yes, I have been to New York, California, Las Vegas, and more. Some of the places I am dying to see is Europe, the Medditerainian, and New Zealand. I have also been wanting to explore Hong Kong. Traveling local works for me also. Some of the places I like to go in MN is Duluth, Rochester, and St, Cloud. Each place is really unique in heritage. I love to eat Italian and Mexican foods. But the reality is that I open to any cultures food. A little about myself you say? Well I was born in St. Louis Park at Methodist Hospital. I lived there till I was four and my parents moved to Champlin were I grew up to be an adult. I stayed in Champlin after graduating from high school in 2005 for a while and decided to move in with a roomate next to the Coon Rapids Dam. I love living over here because of all the bike trails and natural forest view. There is literally deer and wild turkey walking in my front yard! Ha! :) My occupation is working at United Parcel Services (UPS). I love working their because of my awesome co-employees, full-time benefits for part-time work, money for school, and great pay. I have two goals I can choose from at this stage of life. Advance my degree in school in psychology or pursue a driving position at UPS. Either one is successful. If you want to know what I am interested in, I am seriously not a picky person. Looks are important but are not the final decision point in making a choice. Women need to be felt special and important. Us guys need to learn that. Females honestly to carry a heavier burden on this planet and us men have to be their to support them. They are responsible for giving life and taking care of that special human being. Therefore they need to be cherished and loved then more than we can give. It's not about giving 50/50 to each other, but 110% to each other. Please let me know if your interested.

Collecting Classic Car Ephemera
Pontiac Ventura: In the glory days of the automobile, the advertisements spoke volumes. From the black and white photos of the early Tin Lizzies to the art deco looks from the 50s and 60s, automobile advertising shows so much more than the cars on the pages. Ephemera from the earliest decades of the automobile capture the identities of the decades. These early ads set the stage for the reality that cars were more than just a form of transportation, but they were a way for individuals to show their style and personality.

Inspirational! First time I've ever said this in the crit gallery, but I see no way to improve the image.
Grasping at straws, perhaps the iris is a little hexagonal in the big portrait.
Still, must say I love it, and it has given me some fresh ideas for my wedding portraits, thank you!
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hello Paul and Kim. I have to say this is unique and quite beautiful. Like Patricia, I feel I am nit-picking, but will say what I think. On the bottom right side there is a red patch that I think spoils the image. I think there is a flower in there (wish I could view large), but it's mostly the white bits that look like skeletal hands that are distracting my attention from the rest of the image. Not sure what they are. Also, on the left of the frame, where the swirl of the stem touches the inner frame, I feel that it has been cut off and that it should continue in an arc to the left of the inner frame, so that it joins the top left. The only other thing that I am not sure about is the amount of space given to the hair and forehead of the background face. I have tried scrolling up to see what it looks like with some of the top cropped, but am still unsure as to whether it improves the composition. I find that what the crop does do is give more attention to the picture bottom left, and makes the larger face more of a "background" without dominating the image so much. It really depends on your intention here. The dimensions would obviously be altered with such a crop, too. Another little niggle, sorry to go on, is the shadow of the inner frame, which I don't feel is necessary. I can appreciate that Kim is trying to give an example of several of the types of manipulation she knows, all in one image. It works well, and should certainly be appreciated by any teachers or judges.

Below is the poem entitled I Cry which was written by poet
Babcock. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Phyllis Babcock
I sat in tears and let them roll down my face
I cried for this child who will not get to know his dad
For his dad was a soldier sent out to fight
a sad thing called terrorism.
He will have no more bed time stories
Or walks hand in hand in the park
He will not get to play ball or sports
He will not remember his daddy at all.
A toddler with bottle in hand
Not aware yet of the terror that exists
Who will protect these little one
Please mankind understand
Many little ones lose their mom or dad
In a world where chaos seems to reign
Why cannot peace find a place
In the hearts of man?
Why must there be death for greed
I see no other name for it
Or you could call it power
with no care for fellow man.
I guess some may be called animals
For they hunt only to kill
Who taught them that man are enemies
Is that what is called war.
I sit and cry for the human kind
What state we are in
I sit and cry for the child
For what will become
Tears run tell they run no more
I cry for this world
I cry for the adult and the child
I cry for this world today.

Newington is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, about 4.5 miles (7 km) north of Wallingford.
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (July 2012)
Archaeological work in the grounds of Newington House in the early 1980s and the latter half of the 2000s revealed extensive medieval occupation including at least one smithy.
Some residual[clarification needed] ancient Roman pottery was recovered from medieval pits, indicating that there may have been a Roman farm or similar in the vicinity. Newington is about 3 miles (5 km) from the Roman town of Dorchester on Thames. The earliest in situ remains are evidence for plots from after the Norman conquest of England, dating from the late 11th and early 12th centuries. These may have been agricultural enclosures, such as paddocks, but were probably laid out as house-plots for tenants. By the early 12th century it seems that a smithy was built within one of the plots, followed in the 13th century by a larger smithy built on stone footings. This smithy was in use until the 14th century when it fell into disuse. Whether smithing was carried out elsewhere in Newington is still unknown, but by the 15th century the plot where the smithy formerly existed had been dug over and used for the disposal of rubbish. There is a 14th-century reference to Andrew le Smith from the attached hamlet of Brightwell;[2] probably Britwell Prior.
Moreau records that, in the Domesday Book, Neutone (Newington) was returned as worth 15 pounds a year, compared with only 5 pounds for the neighbouring parish of Berewic (Berrick), and 30 pounds for Bensingtone (Benson).[3]
He also recounts how a manor in the northern part of Berrick came to be joined to the parish of Newington early in the 11th century. The manor "fell into the hands of King Canute 'through forfeiture of a certain thegn'. It was begged of the King by his wife, Emma [of Normandy], and she passed it to the monks of Canterbury. This transaction swelled the parish of Newington which was a peculiar of the Archbishop of Canterbury",[4] and the manor came to be known as Berrick Prior, meaning the corn farm belonging to the Prior of Canterbury.[5]
As part of Newington, Berrick Prior "acquired an administrative status quite different from that of Berrick Salome, for even in the present [twentieth] century directories referred to it as 'the liberty of Berrick Prior' which reflected a sometime exemption from the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Oxfordshire."[6] This high status ended in 1993 when Berrick Prior reverted to Berrick Salome parish as part of a local reorganisation of boundaries.
An Inclosure Award was made on 30 March 1815 relating to lands in the liberties of Berrick Prior and Newington and Holcombe, pursuant to Act 50 Geo III, c cxiv.[7]
The Manor House was built about 1664, and a third storey and a Corinthian porch were added to it in about 1777.[8] The former Rectory, now Beauforest House, is a Georgian house of five bays built about 1774.[8]
Parish church[edit]
The Church of England parish church of Saint Giles was built in the 12th century, its transepts were added about 1200 and the west tower and spire were added early in the 14th century.[9]
Gilbert Sheldon held the living of the parish for a time in the 17th century. Sheldon also simultaneously held the livings of Hackney, Ickford, Buckinghamshire and Oddington, Oxfordshire. After the Restoration of the Monarchy, Sheldon was consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury in 1663.

She said her drug habit began very casually. "You know, pot at 13, which, in my circle, was very normal. … and drinking every once in a while, but that wasn't really my thing. And then I started getting into cocaine at like 14 or 15. And then I stopped. And, and went to heroin, at about 19, I believe," she said.
In retrospect, Richie said, "I was pretty out of control. And considering the fact that I probably don't remember half of what happened to me, I can only imagine how out of control I was."
Ironically, just days before she was scheduled to check into rehab for help, police found heroin in the car she was driving. "It kind of didn't make sense in my mind at the time. … This is the one time I am not doing anything wrong. But I think that it was kind of a sign. A little reminder of like, 'this stuff really happens to people,'" she said.
Richie completed rehab, was put on probation and began her new life with a hot TV show.
But Richie now had a weight problem. She had put on pounds in rehab, but then underwent a dramatic weight loss that led to speculation about her health and whether she had returned to drugs.
She said she's remained drug- and alcohol-free since leaving rehab. And she insists the weight loss was gradual and that she's simply dropped the extra weight with the help of a personal fitness trainer.
"I have been called too fat. I have been called too skinny. I have been called too short. I have been called wild. You know, I mean, I can't, I can't even keep up with the things that people say. So I just, I just don't. I choose not to," she said.
Still, as with her famous flap with Hilton, rumors persist. And Richie just tries to ignore them.
"I know the truth, and my family knows the truth, and my friends know the truth, and just like drugs, you know, if, if there was a problem, then I would step up to the plate and take care of whatever I needed to take care of, and that's the way that I live my life," she said.
Some credit Richie's turnaround to her romance with Goldstein. The couple announced their engagement in February.
He too is a recovering addict, finding a new life after losing 150 pounds through gastric-bypass surgery. "They had a common hardship and that is sort of the mortar of a lot of relationships. And they had a lot in common going in. He has really settled her down and I think it's sort of like the kind of serenity that she's never had before," said People's Castro.
It's hard to imagine the young socialite falling in love and settling down.
She said it's hard to describe how their friendship grew into love, but she says she's smitten. "If you spend five minutes with him, you'll know in a second. He's just that person. He's just very charming, and there's something about him that makes you fall in love with him," she said.
Richie said she's happy where she is now, and is glad to have pulled herself out of the downward spiral of drugs and rehab.
"I just consider myself really lucky that I got through everything. And I couldn't have done it alone, you know, I have my parents, and uh, a lot of great people around me, and I just feel very lucky."

Heat Level - 3
This Pondicherry favorite is Chef Mody's southern Indian version of bouillabaisse. You can use any combination of available seafood, but I recommend that mussels and shrimp should always be included. This dish is very quick to make—about 15 minutes. Serve it with or over the Lime Rice recipe included here, or with your favorite version of saffron rice.
This recipe, developed at Yale, has haad much success but is currently not FDA approved.
Three varieties of beans were found beneath the ash in the village kitchens of Cerén. Certainly they were boiled, and since they are bland, they were undoubtedly combined with other ingredients, including chiles and primitive tomatoes. The Cerén villagers would have used peccary fat for the lard and bacon, and of course would not have had cumin. But they probably would have used spices such as Mexican oregano.
This recipe was provided by author Kathy Gallantine. She collected it from Antonio Seja Torrez, a clam-picker in Baja. Every day at low tide, Antonio crawls through the mangroves and collects 500 pata de mula "clams," that are really mussels. He carries the several miles to the dock at Magdalena Bay, where he sells them for ten pesos apiece. His daily earnings come to about $2.00 U.S. "About enough to buy a kilo of beans," he says cheerfully. Try this recipe with true clams, but be prepared too pay a much higher price for them! Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
I am including several ceviches from Peru because some travelers claim that they are superior to those of Ecuador. The most popular fish used in Peru is sea bass, or grouper, although every type of seafood and shellfish is used as well. The Peruvian ceviches include a few rounds of cooked corn on the cob and cooked slices of sweet potatoes. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
This dish gets its heat from habanero chiles and a delicious twist from fresh mint. Make it when you have access to plenty of fresh oysters. If you don't have a habanero, you can substitute jalapenos.
This is a basic Mexican version of ceviche that is easily varied with the addition of fruits and vegetables that are in season. I like to add diced avocado, or jicama, or even cucumbers to add not only different flavors but also textures to the ceviche. By adding tomato juice and pulp to the recipe and serving in a large parfait glass, you transform the ceviche into the very popular, seafood cockteles found all over Mexico.
This recipe and others can be found in the following article:


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Three stories make up this volume.In the first, "Fangs for the Memory!", a down on his luck vampire, Count Fangula, moves to New York City to feast on the unsuspecting population.On his first night in search of a victims he gets hit in the mouth and beat on by two muggers who leave him lying on the sidewalk minus his fangs. He then finds a job as a night man at the city blood bank and steals vials of blood to stay alive. Without the thrill of the hunt he grows increasingly bored wondering the streets and watching old vampire movies for laughs. One night while stocking up for the weekend at the blood bank, he is caught in the act of stealing and booted back to the street. On his way home he literally runs into a buxom blond and attacks her out of habit, she uses kung-fu to throw him into some garbage cans then calmly informs him to watch who he tries to mug in the future while showing him her card stating she is a master of kung-fu. She walks away leaving him to lie, sobbing, on the curb. At home again he finally figures a way to continue being able to hunt and feed. Skip to an ally where police are investigating a suposed vampire victim. On the new they are comenting on the twelfth vampire victim. Due to the vampire scare the population no longer ventured out at night, businesses went bankrupt, and the people who worked at night moved to other cities. During the day, the cops went searching for the vampire and the night Count Fangula struck. He found the answer, and was once again able to feel the thrill of the hunt.The second, "Whacks' Museum", is a very punny piece that takes place in a wax museum where the figures talk and make jokes. A doctor shows up to meet the curator and ends up part of the display.The third feature, "RAT!", leans closer to the horror genre of the time. It begins on a stormy night with a low level criminal named Ratzo running from the law and the mob after shooting a security guard and ratting out his partner, Bender. He first tries the shipping yard to climb aboard a freighter but has to find another place after finding he can't get aboard. Running down an ally to find safety, he gets run down by a vehicle and left for dead. The storm erupts with lightning, scaring a rat to run by Ratzo's lifeless body. Lightning strikes at that moment and hits the rat and Ratzo, transferring Ratzo's consciousness into the rat. Ratzo grows into a human sized rat and decides to get revenge on Bender for killing him. After he takes care of Bender he decides to go on a crime spree and breaks into jewelry stores and apartments, killing anyone who gets in his way. Soon however, he finds with every robbery and the more loot he gets, the smaller he gets . Panicking, he decides he needs a doctor and goes scampering off to find one. Evading a rat trap, he turns a corner and runs into a cat, who promptly ends his career as a criminal. The story ends with the storm over on a bright sunny morning....and Ratzo in a trash can.

No playing of trumpets :-)
OK, I'm pretty sure this actually means you shouldn't use your car horn, this is the first time I've ever seen a sign like this one, Romanian drivers tend to be overly fond of using their horns. I wasn't in Romanian long enough to figure out the code they seemed to be using, sometimes they wanted someone to go, sometimes it meant stop, sometimes it meant hurry up. Do you have to learn the horn code before you pass drivers ed in Romania? That is assuming that they have driver's ed.....
You might have noticed from some of my pictures that the streets looked strangely medieval, with no surface on most of them, not even cobblestones. Like much of Romania, the citadel was undergoing massive renovation. It still looked pretty rough when I was there (Brasov is all rebuilt) but soon it will be up to Western standards. Which is a shame, in some ways, because that rough edge gives it less of a chocolate box feeling.
Nothing to worry about, but be aware of your footwear for the next couple of years. Don't wear high heels, obviously, and bring something mud proof if you want to go walking about when it rains.
Tour Buses
The only downside to this town are the tourist crowds. The tour buses unload here in the late morning and early afternoon, and the small size of the citadel makes it a struggle to get about in the tight central streets.
But it's only the central square, and the road that runs between it and the clock tower that is really badly affected. This isn't le Mont St. Michel. Get away from the main square, and get up before 9am, and it's a ghost town.
Felt Safe
I'd heard a story of dodgy people at the station, but I didn't experience any problems there, and the citadel and main town feel as safe as anywhere in Europe. The worst problem this town suffers from, compared to the rest of Transylvania, was the number of beggars. Still, only a few, and they just stuck out there hand as you passed - nothing aggressive.
This was special form of rain water drainage I saw close to the Shoemaker's Tower. It looks a little dangerous to me since there was very restricted light to be in this street in the evening or night, so people and animals could easily get hurt by taking a step too close to the edge or even down in the drainage.
Rains and Floods
Take care in Romania with the rains...are so heavy in fall ...sept and october... i was lucjy because on my two times there it has been rain before my arrival and after and Bucharest was so flooded two days before i get there !!!
see the weather forecast !!!
Street Urchins Plague the Train Station (Gara)
Sighisoara is a beautiful Medieval walled city and certainly worth a visit. However, it shares many of the same social and criminal issues of cities twice or three times its size. Such issues include petty theft and vagrancy.
Do be attentive at the train station, as the moment you step off of the train onto the platform, you will be bombarded by street urchins, and (as much as I loathe to use this word and to generalize an entire population and culture, you will see) "Gypsies" or the more politically correct, "Roma," begging for money, change and perhaps even food on occassion. Unfortunately, as well-traveled and heavily-touristed a city such as Sighisoara there are very few protocols for dealing with petty theft and there are no police officers or security on the platforms.
On occassion you shall see women carrying babies as a method of distraction as they (or their cohorts) dip into your pockets). My recommendation is to ensure that all of your pockets are zipped, locked (if possible) and make sure that you do not put any valuables in a place that is easily accessible*. Also, if they surround you do not hesitate to use your elbows, and hands to push them away. Romanians in general, do not share "western" conceptions regarding personal space.
*Remember if it's easy-accessible to you... it is to them as well. Just be vigilant and aware. I have seen this happen far too often to visitors and watch them flounder at the police station attempting to file a police report while trying (in vain) to communicate in Romanian.

2008 Spring Questions - Top 40
Non-Conference Games
With spring ball underway, it's time to start diving into the 2009
season ... no, it's not way too early. Here are the 20 Big Questions to
start off the offseason, beginning with the top non-conference games.
20. 50 non-conference games to get really, really excited about (No. 1
to 10) ...
10. BYU vs. Oklahoma (in Arlington), Sept. 5
It's an interesting season opener to see
exactly where the two teams are at as they dive into promising seasons.
Oklahoma will likely be everyone's preseason No. 3 (behind Florida and
Texas) or will at least be in the top five, while BYU will look to erase
memories of a rough end of 2008 with losses to Utah and Arizona. Can the
Sooners put up 60+ points on the board to get the ball rolling again
after the fun was interrupted by Florida? Can BYU's high-octane offense
keep up the pace? There will be plenty to analyze.
9. Georgia
at Georgia Tech, Nov. 28
Chan Gailey had a successful run as the head coach
of Georgia Tech, but he struggled against Georgia hastening his firing.
The Dawgs had won seven straight in the rivalry, and then came Paul
Johnson and his option attack. One thrilling 45-42 win later, it's game
on. Now the Yellow Jackets should know what they're doing on offense,
and now the Dawgs will have to work on preparing for it even though the
SEC season ends for them the week before against Kentucky. Georgia Tech
closes out its ACC regular season with a date at Duke, and then it gets
two weeks off to rest up and prepare for the showdown.8. Nebraska
at Virginia Tech, Sept. 19
Last year's battle between the two was a fun 35-30
Virginia Tech win that flew slightly under the radar. It was a bit of a
coming-of-age moment for Hokie QB Tyrod Taylor and it was a fantastic
road win in what turned out to be a strong non-conference showing for
the ACC. The Hokies start out the season against Alabama and kick off
the conference slate after the visit from the Huskers against Miami.
Nebraska is looking for the same type of big, impressive non-conference
road win in year two of the Bo Pelini era after closing out last season
with four straight wins including a thrilling Gator Bowl victory over
Clemson. This is the first test of the year after starting out against
Florida Atlantic and Arkansas State from the Sun Belt.7. Oregon at
Boise State, Sept. 5
Did Boise State catch Oregon at just the right time, when the Ducks were
trying to find its footing after injury problems, or was the 37-32
Bronco win in Autzen Stadium really an indicator of how things are
changing? Before the bowl games, the Pac 10 took a hit in the PR
department because of losses like this, and now Oregon has to make
amends on the blue turf. It's the season-opener for a Duck team that was
scorching-hot to close out 2008, but there's plenty of turnover in key
areas. Boise State is loaded and is more than good enough to win this
game, and if it does, it'll be a hit for the Pac 10, considering Oregon
is supposed to be the league's second best team. On the flip side, Boise
State has the national respect at this point to make it a great road win
for the Ducks if they can pull if off. It's the second meeting between
the two schools.
6. Oklahoma
at Miami, Oct. 3In
2007, Miami found out just how far it had to go to be among the elite
again after being embarrassed 51-13 in Norman. This year, "Da U" will
see this as its national breakout game, but it has a lot of work to do,
of work to do, beforehand with at
Florida State, Georgia Tech, and at Virginia Tech to open up the season.
Oklahoma has lost its last two games played in Miami, the national title
game against Florida last year and the 2005 Orange Bowl, the national
championship, against USC, but it was also the site of the national
championship win over Florida State in the 2001 Orange Bowl. The Sooners
will have to deal with BYU to start out the year, but games against
Idaho State and Tulsa should get them ready for the Canes.
5. Florida State at Florida,
Nov. 28Florida has
won five straight in the series with blowouts in the last two, and
Florida State, at the end of the year, has to prove that the gap has
closed between the two programs. Considering the league the Gators play
in, the schedule isn't all that bad with one brutal road date (LSU).
With Georgia rebuilding a bit and no Alabama or Ole Miss from the West
on the schedule, it's all there for yet another run to the national
title, or at least the SEC title game. Florida State might have a hard
time screwing up the Gator BCS title hopes if everything is humming for
the defending champs, but it'll be the key late November game that
everyone will be watching.
nothing else, this might be a key final argument for Tim Tebow in the
Heisman race.
4. USC at Notre Dame, Oct. 17
Simply put, this game will all but define the
future of Notre Dame football. The schedule isn't all that bad, even
with all the big names on it, so there's no real reason the Irish can't
be 4-1, or even 5-0 if they can get by Michigan State, before hosting the
mighty Trojans. USC will still be rebuilding a bit, so if Notre Dame
ever wanted to come up with the upset in the series, this would be the
time. Since the Bush Push game of 2005, USC has beaten Notre Dame by a
combined score of 120 to 27 in the last three meetings. The games
weren't even that close, including the nightmare of last year's 38-0 win
when the Irish couldn't get a first down until midway through the second
half. USC will have a revenge game against Oregon State the week after.
3. Alabama vs. Virginia Tech (in
Atlanta), Sept. 5Last
year, Clemson came into Atlanta as the hot team of the preseason before
Alabama changed that around. This year, the Tide will be looking to
erase memories of the Sugar Bowl loss to Utah by beating up Virginia
Tech, the two-time defending ACC champion and Orange Bowl winner. The
Hokies have had some fantastic moments in the Frank Beamer era, but for
all the great things they done and for all the wins, they need to win
this game to show the world that the ACC really might be emerging in the
discussion of the best BCS conferences. Alabama will take the following
few weeks off with FIU and North Texas coming to town for the Sun Belt
Invitational, while this game starts off an interesting September for
the Hokies with home games against Marshall, Nebraska, and Miami to
2. Georgia at
Oklahoma State, Sept. 5
This is a BCS caliber game to kick off the year,
and it'll be the type of game that fans of the two power conferences
will point to all season long. The bowls weren't kind to the Big 12,
especially against the SEC, with Texas Tech losing to Ole Miss in the
Cotton Bowl and Oklahoma losing the national title to Florida. Oklahoma
State was stunned by Oregon in the Holiday Bowl in a game that got the
message board debates rolling. This is a big chance to make amends.
Oklahoma State gets almost everyone back from the nation's No. 6
offense, while Georgia has to replace Matthew Stafford, Knowshon Moreno,
and just enough parts to be the underdog. If OSU really is a top ten
team, this is a game it has to win. If Georgia wins, get ready for the
SEC chest-thumping to be deafening.
1. USC at Ohio State, Sept. 12
It's the Rose Bowl that still has yet to happen
in the Jim Tressel/Pete Carroll era. Last year, Beanie Wells was out
injured and the Ohio State coaches appeared to be the only people in
America who didn't know that Terrelle Pryor was the better full-time
quarterback option as USC came up with a 35-3 pasting of the Buckeyes.
This year, USC is reloading on defense while Ohio State is a major
overhaul to deal with. Even so, the Buckeyes have to view this game as a

My PC Brings All The Boys To The Yard
By JediMaster 13 Comments
I took a break from video game consoles this last September to try my hand at PC gaming. (I must admit, the prospect of using an entire keyboard to maneuver a character when my experience with gaming peripherals had been limited to joystick controllers for over two decades, was intimidating.) I upgraded my computer's graphics card, power supply, RAM, keyboard, mouse, and bolted up the diving board stairs and jumped off into the deep end.
Now, I'll be the first to admit I was drawn in by the flashy advertisements, the overwhelming number of users, and the massive environment that comprises World of Warcraft. Yes, I am a sucker. Warcraft, as far as I was and am concerned is sort of like the Harry Potter bastard child of PC gaming (hype much?). There are probably hundreds of other amazing titles (Crysis) that I could have chosen to purchase and probably would have enjoyed, but, how could I ignore Warcraft's 11.5 million user base? When 4 out of 5 doctor's recommend a particular brand of toothpaste, I use it. Why should this be any different? Furthermore, I wanted an experience all together different from the rich single player modes my consoles all ready offer me. Granted, I have played several multiplayer games on my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, from Guitar Hero to Tiger Woods to Gears of War, but felt multiplayer was lacking that extra something. Never in my time on Xbox Live or the Playstation Network did I feel that I was actually part of a gaming community – more like I was in a queue with a bunch of antisocial people who had been thrust together for the sole purpose of proving superior gaming skill. Warcraft proved to be more than advertisements and hype by creating the community my consoles could not, and for this reason, I am happy this was my first PC game experience.
Just like the real world, Warcraft has its fair share of punks, know-it-alls, spammers, idiots, and slackers. But for every one of these people, there are at least 10 or 20 other people who are well mannered, love gaming, have jobs and families, and are eager to play the game with other polite gamers. Warcraft is a lot like Myspace or Facebook, or even Gamespot, in that it will allow you to connect with others who have similar interests and hobbies.
However, because Warcraft is an interactive 3D experience, where you can use voice chat and emotes, it is a much richer communications experience than what you will find on Myspace or even your video game console. The difference between platform multiplayer and Warcraft multiplayer is perhaps best represented by the Guild system which allows players to form a cooperative ensemble, kind of like a club. Some guilds stay reasonably small (around 20 or 30 people) and some are quite large (100+). There are advantages and disadvantages to the various sizes. Larger groups are more likely to perform 25-man dungeon raids together, but people tend to know less about one another are more "game focused". Smaller groups tend to be closer knit, often have multiple players from a single household, or friends from the same town, and tend to be a more social group. The pitfall of smaller groups is they often have more drama. Whichever type of guild you join, chances are you will have gotten to know numerous people over the course of several weeks. Therefore, there is a sense of belonging, camaraderie, dedication, and commitment which feels altogether absent from platform gaming.In other words, the entire time you play Warcraft, you are making friends and, potentially, enemies.
Communication as a lower level character is not as rich or enticing as that of a higher level character, but it is possible. Many of my Warcraft friends have other friends that they've been playing with since their first day in the game. Friend networking is also beneficial when you have a hard quest to complete, don't know how to obtain items, or just need general advice. More often than not, people help people playing the game and many enjoy doing so. The Warcraft community is unlike any community I have seen in any other game and with the right communications skills, is one of the single best ways to connect with other gamers.
The game itself is rich with content and is not entirely unlike other RPG's such as The Elder Scrolls or Mass Effect. Its greatest pitfall is that quests often feel repetitive and a great deal of the game is spent grinding through levels. However, the world that is Warcraft is constantly changing. New gear, items, and dungeons are regularly available through patches, and with the implementation of the achievement system (similar to the 360) there is always something new to do. What keeps users coming back to this game despite its repetitive qualities is the community. Obtaining gear upgrades from a 25 man dungeon is sort of like sporting a BMW through town. Furthermore, co-operative play with friends who help you get that special sword or helmet is incredibly rewarding. Gone are the days of obtaining that long sought after sword alone in your living room, where you stifle your cheer because it seems rather ridiculous to be applauding yourself by yourself. There is a reason 11.5 million people have subscribed to Warcraft and aren't playing another installment of Rainbow Six multiplayer on the Xbox 360. I hope that console game developers are looking at the success of Warcraft and trying to figure out a way to implement more community-esque multiplayer.
I am looking forward to news regarding The Old Republic MMORPG from Bioware at E3. While many other MMORPG's have tried to capture the Warcraft audience, most have been unsuccessful (Warhammer Online). Where The Old Republic may convert Warcraft subscribers is in story and deviation from the repetitive formula – something Bioware has been very successful with over the years. Only time will tell.
For those of you who have yet to take the Warcraft plunge, either because of some bizarre nonconformist value which dictates you should not play what everyone else is playing, or because like me, you have little PC gaming experience – avoid Warcraft no longer! That is, unless of course, you hate interacting with people, can't stand role-playing games, have no desire to explore an open ended world rich with story and atmosphere, or can't afford the monthly subscribers fee. No, Warcraft is not a perfect game, but it is an engaging communication experience.

Android more secure than iPhone, says Google's Eric Schmidt
Google's Eric Schmidt was involved in a Q&A at the Gartner Symposium, a time during which he didn't mince words when asked about Android's security. Said Schmidt in response to the question, "Not secure? It's more secure than the iPhone," not surprisingly kicking off a series of both agreements and hasty dissension. Not deterred, Schmidt went on to explain his reasoning.

Ryd Things to Do
Kyrkö Car cemetery
In a small croft outside Ryd in Småland, Åke Danielsson lived and worked the nearby peat moors. He also had an interest in cars and people came to him asking if they could scrap their car in his yard and he could then take what he wanted of spare parts he could salvage. Sometimes. Åke also repaired cars for people. This took more and more of his time and people came with more and more cars as it became known that Åke was a real enthusiast. In the 80s, the local environment council had objections and in the 90s, Åke was asked to remove all scrap at once due to the environmental hazard. By then, Åke was getting old and moved into a home for the elderly instead. Meanwhile, more and more people all over Sweden had discovered what a cultural heritage this had become and lobbied to make an exception to rules and let the cars stay in what had now become a cemetery. Today, a sort of compromise has been made, no cars have been taken away, but neither are there any road signs to this cultural heritage. You have to ask the locals how to get here once in Ryd. The cemetery is full of Amazons, VWs, Austins and other 40s-60s cars which stand overgrown in the middle of a forest! Best is of course if you can get there in summer when they are covered in moss. You can see many more pictures in the travelogue below.Related to:

1799 7x6 Stars Bust Dollar, AU581799 $1 7x6 Stars AU58 NGC. B-12, BB-160, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. The "No Berries" reverse. Berries, or fruits, were once present on the olive branch of the reverse die (as seen on BB-158 and BB-159) but have been lapped away, as made. The dies are rotated a few degrees counterclockwise. Bowers estimates between 35 to 70 examples of BB-160 have survived in all AU grades.
Deeply Toned and Problem-Free, B-12, BB-160
Deeply Toned and Problem-Free, B-12, BB-160
This is an impressive near-Mint example that has only minor wear on the cheek, shoulder, and ribbon. Deep gray toning covers the nearly unblemished surfaces. Luster shimmers across most of the reverse, and also fills Liberty's hair and the obverse margin. A significant opportunity for the alert specialist.(Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 24X7, PCGS# 6878)

Social Security's Surplus Disappearing Fast in Downturn
Well, no need to worry about 2017 anymore. Thanks to the worst economic downturn since the 1930s, the moment of reckoning is already almost here: according to both the budget proposed by the White House in February and projections issued by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in March, Social Security benefits ($659 billion, according to the CBO) will exceed payroll taxes ($653 billion) in fiscal 2009 for the first time since 1984. Payroll-tax receipts generally hold up much better in recessions than do income taxes, but job losses have been so severe that the CBO expects them to decline slightly from 2008, while benefits rise almost 9% because of cost-of-living adjustments and the beginnings of the baby-boomer retirement wave. (See five reasons for economic optimism.)
If you count the $17 billion in income taxes expected to be paid on Social Security benefits, the system will still manage to provide a slight surplus for federal coffers in fiscal 2009. But from 2010 through 2012, there are small projected deficits, and after heading back into the black from 2013 to 2015, the program will then become a growing drain on federal finances, projects the CBO.
Back in 1983, when Social Security last faced deficits, Congress approved a set of Social Security reforms that included a graduated hike in the payroll tax and an increase in the retirement age. Thanks to those changes, payroll-tax receipts surpassed benefits in 1985, and the system has been operating at a surplus ever since.

Enchanting 1879 Flowing Hair Gold Stella1879 $4 Flowing Hair, Judd-1635, Pollock-1833, R.3, PR65 Cameo NGC. The 1879 four dollar stella is the most popular gold pattern of all time. It is properly considered a pattern, but conventional gold collectors have adopted the issue as well. The stella is pursued passionately by collectors from many different disciplines and backgrounds. An example is considered a highlight of any collection that features one.
Judd-1635, Gem Cameo Proof
Judd-1635, Gem Cameo Proof
The stella was originally intended to function as a medium of international exchange, much as the euro does today. The Honorable John A. Kasson conceived of the coin as a handy denomination, nearly equivalent to the Austrian eight florin, French twenty franc, Italian twenty lire, Spanish twenty peseta, and Dutch eight florin coins. Having traveled extensively in Europe in political assignments as an envoy and minister plenipotentiary, Kasson understood the financial difficulties faced by international travelers in his day. Banks charged a significant premium to exchange one currency for another. Repeatedly changing money as one journeyed from country to country would result in substantial loss through the repeated fees. Money-changers would usually refuse to exchange minor coins, causing further drain on the traveler's funds. Kasson hoped to facilitate travel overseas and foreign trade by developing a coin that could be used in many countries without the expense and inconvenience of monetary exchange. Kasson had impressive credentials as a former chairman of the Committee of Coinage, Weights and Measures in Congress. Using his political connections, the former chairman convinced the sitting Committee of Coinage, Weights and Measures to consider his project. The result was the stella.
Engravers Charles Barber and George Morgan both developed a pattern four dollar gold coin in 1879. Barber produced the Flowing Hair obverse design, which was similar to a half eagle pattern design from 1878, Judd-1574. Morgan created an elegant design known as the Coiled Hair stella, with Liberty's hair gathered up in braids atop her head. The designs used a common reverse, with a five-pointed star as the central element, from which the pattern takes its name. It is believed that 15 Flowing Hair stellas were coined in 1879, but demand from Congressmen and Mint officials caused the issue to be restruck in 1880. The restrikes were from the original dies and may have numbered as many as 600-700 examples. All examples seen in modern times have parallel striations across the obverse design, usually in the hair, and it is impossible to differentiate between restrikes and originals. Morgan's Coiled Hair design was produced in extremely small quantities and was not given out to Congressmen for examination. The design was not restruck and remains very rare today. Experts believe that 400-500 specimens of the Flowing Hair stella have survived. Both Flowing Hair and Coiled Hair varieties were later reproduced in small numbers, with new dies dated 1880, to satisfy numismatic demand from favored collectors.
Kasson's idea was ahead of its time, but it was fatally flawed. The different currencies that he sought to exchange with the stella were not exact equivalents and varied against each other over time. Congress realized that the stella was impractical, and no regular mintage was ever authorized. Many stellas are worn, and popular stories relate that members of Congress used the coins they obtained as exotic gifts for their mistresses.
As a result of their colorful history, many stellas are seen in impaired condition today. Gem Cameo examples are rare and desirable. The present example is a fine representative of this much-loved design. The deeply mirrored fields contrast boldly with the frosty devices to produce a dramatic cameo effect. The strike is strong, and all design elements are brought up in great detail. The lovely green-gold color accents the virtually flawless surfaces. A classic rarity that will appeal to the pattern specialist and the mainstream collector. Census: 14 in 65 Cameo, 29 finer (5/09).(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 28AZ, PCGS# 88057)

Comment: Re:Good grief... (Score 1) 681 681
The nuts and bolts of computer architecture isn't in the scope of computer science. Sure, you might want to know a little about how things work from an abstract level, but let's be clear; Computer science and electrical engineering are two different disciplines.
There's also a big gap between traditional electrical engineering and computer science - computer engineering really is its own thing.
The standard EE curriculum covers a lot of topics: E&M, circuit analysis and design, signal analysis and information theory, wireless communication, VLSI and VHDL, linear electronics, control systems, FPGAs / MOSFETs / ASICs, etc. The most computer architecture that EE covers is the basics of digital logic, and *maybe* a selection of other topics, like memory addressing and a basic instruction set, but it's really just an introduction.
Computer engineering is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. Consider all of the specialized things that a computer engineer studies: processor design, instruction sets, memory / storage / caching, buses / pipelines / wire protocols, networking, parallel processing, power management (especially conservation), GPUs, firmware and device drivers, multithreading and stack analysis, security systems...
My point is simply that a typical EE barely scratches the surface of CE, and a typical CE has only a modest overlap with both EE and CS.
It's frustrating that so many people don't appreciate just how deep and rich and technically challenging these areas are. It's oddly stylish to diss CS and CE as of a lesser scientific caliber than traditional sciences - to look at a computer as a commodity, a basic web browser wired to a basic keyboard. Very disappointing in general, and it's culturally perpetuated by offhanded comments like Nye's.

Jewish Life Coast to Coast, California Style
To an outsider, it may seem as if a group of 20 YU students choosing to spend their winter break sitting and listening to speeches for ten days is sort of like class. In reality, however, the CJF mission, Jewish Life Coast to Coast, was an unforgettable learning experience that challenged its participants to open their eyes and minds to new ideas experiences beyond Jewish life in the Tri-state area.
Every year, the Coast to Coast trip visits a different region of North America. This year, the CJF set its sights on the West Coast, with plans to visit the Jewish communities of the Bay Area in California, as well as Seattle and Vancouver.
What was the theme of the trip? Ask any participant for a one-word answer: innovation. Residing in the backyard of Silicon Valley, home to companies like Google and Mircosoft, Jewish communities on the West Coast are affected by the innovative nature of these entrepreneurial enterprises. Our goal was to see how this mindset affected their daily lives and communal structure. Led by Eliyahu Rosen and Keren Simon, and joined at times by Rabbi Ari Rockoff and Rabbi Kenneth Brander along with his wife, Ruchie, we were ready for our mission.
First stop: Google Headquarters. No other place could have given a better insight into the innovative nature of the West Coast. There, we were privileged to see the Google "campus" (everything a paradigmatic college campus would include, minus the dorms), and meet with "Jewglers," Jews who are employed by Google, to hear what it is like to be a Jew who works at Google.
Over the next few days, we met with numerous Jewish communal leaders, including rabbis of the local synagogues, the Stanford Chabad and Hillel rabbis, and educators at the local Oakland Hebrew Day School. At the Day School, we taught a session to the seventh and eighth graders about Judaism's view on protests. We were privileged to visit the generous sponsors of our trip, the Jim Joseph Foundation, an organization whose goal is to support and fund meaningful experiences in Jewish education.
We went off the beaten path as well. We visited Urban Adamah, a Jewish farm in the middle of a city, and met with Aryae Coopersmith, co-founder of the House of Love and Prayer, who exposed us to his own spiritual connection to Judaism. A wonderful Shabbat was spent in Oakland in Rabbi Judah Dardik's shul, Beth Jacob. There, we had the special opportunity to interact with his unique, diverse, and hospitable community, learning how to connect with Jews from all backgrounds.
Our next intended stop was Seattle, but a major snowstorm shut down the airport and impeded our plans. We delayed for a few more days in San Francisco, before re-routing to Los Angeles. Although this was not on the original itinerary, LA ended up being a wonderful addition to the trip. Perhaps because LA is much more similar to our own communities than San Francisco, our time there gave us a chance see how the lessons we had learned applied to communities similar to our own.
The ultimate goal of the trip was to learn from Jewish communities on the West Coast with hopes of applying what we learned to our own communities upon our return home. I can say for myself that I learned a tremendous amount on this trip. This trip exposed me to the great diversity of the Jewish communities and showed me how we are all, essentially, one nation, despite our geographic diversity. To thrive as a nation, we must build upon our commonalities, not our differences.
