I've wanted to build a gaming computer for some time now and so i thought i might as well do it now. I'm going to try to stay under $500. I already have a hard drive and OS (that im putting on the SSD). This is my first build so some things will probably sound completely dumb. please, be gentle. Ill attempt to give additional information as requested. Im actually new to the site as well......Thanks

I don't think you should wait if you don't want to. The first PC i built was a Duron 1GZ with a Radeon 7000. Was crap but i was able to play Half Life 2 with it. It will give you exp about building comp and what to look for.
This is the best i can come with if you really want the ssd and a computer than can handle itself for a while with an eventual gpu upgrade. If you don't have enough money you can drop the ssd and use your old hdd for now and upgrade it to an ssd later.
[edit] If you need to save more money you can cut on the optimal drive. I did select one reading blue-ray but you could save 10$ by selecting one reading just dvd. You could save money on the motherboard by choosing a micro atx motherboard instead. But the micro atx mbs while less exp have less bells and whistles. But that's an option that would reduce the price by another 20$ and maybe even 30$. You can maybe save another 5$ or 10$ more on the ram by selecting cl9 ram. I would not spend less on the cpu, gpu and psu. People always try to save on PSU but a good psu with more than enough power usually will likely make your pc last longer. I've seen many pc die on crap 400W psu.Go to the full post

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Matt Williams, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 18 June 2009 09:45AM
The newly proposed guidelines comes following a rise in the amount of free-to-air "babe channels", such as Playboy TV and Babeworld TV.
Ofcom is concerned that broadcasting sexually explicit content should only appear on encrypted, subscription-only adult channels, to better protect younger viewers from the material.
The regulator has said that consumer research has shown that people do not expect to see much more than brief nudity between 9pm and 10pm.
Earlier this year, Ofcom fined Playboy TV £22,500 for breaching the broadcasting code by airing unencrypted explicit content on numerous occasions throughout 2007 and 2008.
In 2007, it also reprimanded Babeworld TV for showing sexually explicit material just 15 minutes after the 9pm watershed, following a complaint from a mother who was concerned that her son and his friends were watching.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 6/26/12
If you have been following along here all spring and summer you certainly are well aware of the hard work that Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Ziggy Hood is putting in this off-season. Hood has undergone a tremendous transformation working out at Outer Limits Sports Performance under the watchful eye of trainer Bill Nichol. The last report that we got from Nichol was that Hood had dropped his body fat from 24% down to 18% and that he had turned 18 pounds of fat into 20 pounds of muscle. That was after just phase 1. We had Bill on the podcast shortly after a few of the training videos of Hood Read more [...]

2300 Online tools. All the tools.
Shift Happens 2.0.
Research has shown that students that are in today's K-12 schools experience learning in ways that are significantly different than students even 10 years ago. This is in part due to the use of Web 2.0 technologies that are being integrated into the learning experiences of today's students. The purpose of this workshop is to develop participants' knowledge and skills related to the uses of Web 2.0 technologies (blogs, wikis, podcasts, etc.) and how these technologies can be used with assistive technologies to increase their accessibility and the students' outcomes in the classroom. Hands on experiences linking these technologies to standards-based classroom activities will be provided.

Waitsburg-Prescott routs Weston-McEwen
ATHENA – Waitsburg-Prescott's Sterling Eastman threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns in a 39-13 drubbing of Weston-McEwen Thursday night in crossborder football.
W-P's Billy Brown added two rushing touchdowns in the second half to fuel the rally that brought his team back to win.
Weston-McEwen led 13-6 early in the second and 13-12 at the half, but Waitsburg-Prescott responded in the second half.
"Billy Brown came in that second half and played hard," W-P coach Jeff Bartlow said. "He played hard and rugged. It was fantastic. We held him out in that first half."
"They're physical and I knew they would be," Bartlow said of the TigerScots. "We took it to another level in that second half and they weren't quite up for the task at that point."
W-P jumped out to an early 6-0 advantage on an Eastman 70-yard touchdown bomb to Chance Leroue.
The TigerScots answered back with a 71-yard connection from Eric Washburn to Linton McAllister to tie the score at six apiece.
Tyler Peterson scampered 63 yards in the opening of the second quarter to take the ball deep into W-P territory. He finished the drive off two plays later with a 28-yard touchdown jaunt on the option pitch play.
K.J. White hit the extra point to give Weston-McEwen a 13-6 lead.
W-P fought back before half with a 79-yard touchdown drive, including a 50-yard gain on an Eastman pass to Dalton Estes down the right sideline.
"Scoring right before halftime was huge because we were struggling," Bartlow said. "We were having trouble with our quarterback and his pass protection."
Neither team had great pass protection.
The TigerScots took down Eastman seven times and W-P brought quarterback Eric Washburn down six times.
W-P came out of halftime and scored 27 unanswered points to take home a convincing victory.
"Give it to their coaching staff," W-M coach Kenzie Hansell said. "They made some adjustments at halftime to pick our blitz and to play better defense. We just can't give up all the big plays on third down and long."
Brown had 68 yards rushing in the second half including touchdowns runs of 28 and 10 yards. Eastman snuck in for a 5-yard score and threw a 55-yard touchdown to Leroue.
The touchdown pass to Leroue was the second huge gain for a touchdown in the game for W-P.
"No one wants to start the season 0-2," Hansell said. "But at the same time we're getting better as a football team and that is the most important thing. We start league next week and the preseason schedule is there for a reason. It was there to challenge us and make us improve for league play. We truly have got better the last two games."
Weston-McEwen hosts Enterprise next Friday at 7 p.m. in its Blue Mountain Conference opener.

The Pear Ratz celebrates fourth album at Brewster Street Ice House
CORPUS CHRISTI - Bob Strause took the 1990s off from music and when he came back in 2004 he found himself too old for metal and too young to give it up.
The result was The Pear Ratz, a group born from southern rock, Texas country and a little bit of blues. Or as Strause puts it, "We're like Ray Wylie Hubbard-Atallica."
Strause and bassist Rodd Daws started playing together in high school in the early 1980s, but life intervened.
"We broke it up a little bit before 1990," Strause said. "That was the year my daughter was born. I had to go to real work for a while."
But 15 years later he got the itch again and lead guitarist Chris Nelson and drummer Johnny Aguillon (who was later replaced by John Starek) joined Strause and Daws and the group hit the Texas roadhouse scene. In 2006, the group released its first album. Touring Texas led to two more studio albums (and a 10-day stint entertaining troops in Qatar). Tonight the group will celebrate its fourth album "Live at Brewster Street" with a CD release party on Thursday at, naturally, Brewster Street Ice House.
Strause said he's thrilled to death to have the party at the venue where the album was recorded. Only one thing might be missing: actual CDs.
"The album got sent for mastering," he said. "We're just waiting to hear back. Every indication says we're going to have two to three hundred copies."
If not, Strause will figure out a way to thank the fans that come out either by giving discounts on advance orders, or figure out a way to download the album. No matter what, he said, it will be a party.
The album is a compilation of the band's old hits.
"A lot of people just started listening to us on the last album," said Strause, who provides lead vocals.
The content remains consistent. While Strause can speak at length on "Outlaw" country, a term he believes is becoming meaningless, and his influences when it comes to writing their own music, the band members keep it simple.
"Our bass player has gone through three divorces, so we've got lots of angry-at-women-songs on our albums," Strause said. "We just write whatever is in our heads. We don't have very many love songs."

3rd suspect captured in Addis murder case
U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force members have captured the third man indicted in the 2010 "murder for hire" of Corey Kitts in West Baton Rouge Parish.
Officials tell The Advocate ( http://bit.ly/WYWjfx) Corey Knox was arrested Thursday in New Orleans. Investigators have not disclosed Knox's alleged role in the slaying.
A grand jury on March 14 charged Knox, along with Karl Michael Howard and Monique O. Kitts with first-degree murder and criminal conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
Howard surrendered to West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies and was booked Wednesday evening into the parish jail just hours after District Judge Robin Free denied bond for co-defendant Monique Kitts, who already was in custody.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Monique Kitts shortly after the indictments were handed down March 14.
Investigators found Corey Kitts' body on July 9, 2010, in the bedroom of his residence in the River Landing subdivision in Addis, shot in the head three times at point-blank range.
Prosecutors at Monique Kitts' bond hearing said she hired Howard to kill her husband so she could cash in his life insurance policy.
After District Judge Robin Free judge refused Monique Kitts' request for bond, Assistant District Attorney Tony Clayton asked the court to amend her first-degree murder charge to a lesser count of second-degree murder.
Clayton said he moved to modify the charge against her because the state no longer seeks the death penalty in her case.

Dermatologists help consumers sort through the cosmeceutical conundrum
NEW YORK, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to cosmeceuticals, consumers are bombarded by marketing claims that often fail to live up to their hype. Banking on promises that a product can "reverse the aging process" or "deliver the results of a facelift" leads consumers to spend billions of dollars each year to try an array of anti-aging skin care products. Their hope is that one day they will find a product that actually lives up to its claims.
Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology's SKIN academy (Academy), dermatologist Patricia K. Farris, MD, FAAD, clinical associate professor of dermatology at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, discussed how to separate fact from fiction when evaluating cosmeceuticals and tips for gauging the validity of product claims.
"When consulting with our patients, dermatologists can suggest skin care products that have strong science behind them and that have been proven to be safe and effective in human studies," said Dr. Farris. "The biggest problem with cosmeceuticals is not that they don't work, but that their benefits are greatly exaggerated."
Cosmeceuticals can be divided into categories based on their active
ingredients. Anti-oxidants represent the largest category. They are
followed by peptides (small proteins that stimulate the production of
collagen and thicken the skin) and growth factors (compounds that act as
chemical messengers between cells and play a role in cell division, new
cell and blood vessel growth, and the production and distribution of
collagen and elastin). More recently, Dr. Farris noted that the new trend
is toward combination products. For example, cosmeceuticals with multiple
anti-oxidants, retinol plus anti-oxidants, growth factors plus vitamin C
and other unique combinations that are now being mass marketed. Consumers
tend to favor combination products, embracing th

What is a Media Advisory?
A media advisory, like a press release, is used to send newsworthy (or "timely") information to members of the media. However, media advisories are more highly specific. Media advisories tend to deal with event news, and serve as a sort of invitation for journalists to attend.
The Difference Between Media Advisories and Event Press Releases
Many individuals and companies send press releases to journalists prior to an event. These event press releases aren't the same thing as a media advisory though. Their purposes are different.
An event press release is sent to the media in the hopes that journalists will at least mention the forthcoming event to the public, to raise awareness about the event, and to hopefully lead to increased public turnout.
On the other hand, the purpose of a media advisory is to invite members of the media to attend an event, that may or may not be public, with the aim of having the event, or the information released during the event, covered by the news media. A media advisory's job is to tell journalists the Who?, What?, When?, Where?, and Why?, and any additional details relevant to them (such as where they can park and set up equipment prior to the event). Media advisories aren't meant for public eyes.
Reasons to Send a Media Advisory
One of the most common types of events where a media advisory might be used is the news conference (or press conference). News conferences aren't generally open to the public, but media (whether local or even national) are encouraged to attend. If a publication or media outlet sends a journalist to a news conference, it's almost guaranteed exposure. News conferences can be given to announce a new product, merger, or other company news, and are also often issued in response to crisis situations to keep the public updated. Other examples of reasons to send a media advisory would be for a product unveiling, an industry tradeshow is being held, or someone from the company is holding a particularly important speaking engagement.
This was very helpful for us. Thank you very much. We are arranging a press conference at Queens Park in Toronto, Ontario soon (Jan 29, 1pm) and will create a media advisory as well as a press release now that we read this article.

Is there a source where I can learn what to do with the Event Press Release and Media Advisories once they've been crafted (i.e. where do they go? to whom do I send them?)
Is a great source of training for those wanting to get more information about pr, social media and communications.
Media advisories should be sent to editors, bloggers and producers of broadcast, print, online and radio news sources. Making a contact in person or over the phone is better than an e-mail for a first introduction.

Olson rises to Franklin's mayoral seat
He tops Taylor in race that included numerous write-ins
Franklin — Former Alderman Steve Olson will now become the city's acting mayor after winning the seat in Tuesday's election, defeating Common Council President and County Supervisor Steve Taylor for the position.

By Ed BrockKelly and JoAnn Sullivan's visit with their daughter in Japan was going well until a deadly earthquake hit the region of the country where they were.So far the 6.8-magnitude quake that tore through Niigata prefecture on Japan's central island of Honshu on Saturday has been blamed for 31 deaths. Buildings collapsed, earth weakened by a recent typhoon created mudslides and for the first time in history a "shinkansen" bullet train ran off its tracks, though it was able to brake enough that nobody on board was injured. "I was surprised how much of a disaster it was so close to us," JoAnn Sullivan said. The couple had flown to Japan a week before the quake to visit their 24-year-old daughter Laura Sullivan who works as an English teacher in the town of Ojiya. They were at a hotel some two hours drive away from that town, eating dinner in their room, when the quake hit. Kelly Sullivan, who is president of A&A Safe, Lock & Door Co. in Forest Park and Lawrenceville, said they felt the jolt of the quake even there. "The owner of the hotel knew we were from that area and he came in and told us to turn on the television," Kelly Sullivan said. Ojiya was at the center of the quake and as a result was badly damaged. At first they were unable to return to the town soon after the quake. "Every road going into Ojiya was damaged in some way," JoAnn Sullivan said. They learned that the Japanese carp, or "koi," farm that they had visited the day before the quake was completely destroyed. Later Laura Sullivan learned that her apartment complex had been closed due to damage and she was not able to get back in until Wednesday. "I started the cleaning process and it is going to take a while," Laura Sullivan wrote in an e-mail home. "Things are pretty wrecked but I don't mind. I am just spending the nights in Kashiwazaki at Pauline's place and driving in for the days to clean up my house." The high school where Laura Sullivan taught has been closed indefinitely, Kelly Sullivan said. In her e-mail Laura Sullivan said the school's principal and a teacher lost their houses in the quake and were sleeping in the school's gym. On Wednesday a 2-year-old boy was pulled from the mud and rubble of his home that had been destroyed in a mudslide. The boy had survived four days buried in the rubble but his mother died shortly after she was rescued and his sister is still missing. Quakes were still rattling the area on Wednesday, including a 6.1 quake that caused homeless people in evacuation centers to throw themselves to the floor and scream. But JoAnn Sullivan said she was glad they were there with their daughter when the quake happened, because their presence meant she was also out of Ojiya when the quake hit. "Otherwise she would have been right there in the middle of it," Sullivan said. And the Sullivans would have been worried about her for days since the quake knocked out land lines and cell phone towers as well. It was Kelly Sullivan's first trip to Japan and JoAnn Sullivan's second trip, but it was the first earthquake for both of them. "We had a great time up to the earthquake," JoAnn Sullivan said.

Tip of the hat to Indiana Physical Therapy on Lahmeyer and Stellhorn roads. Ruthie is the best! She encouraged me to get stronger and stronger, and she always had something new to try when the first idea didn't work. Thank you!
Thanks to the young man in the Sherwin-Williams shirt who bought two little "young" ladies breakfast at McDonald's on West Jefferson Boulevard on Nov. 21. It was very much appreciated.
I would like to thank the lovely lady who came up to me and gave an 89-year-old lady $25 while she was grocery shopping Nov. 15. It was quite a nice surprise, and it sure made my day. In case I was so overwhelmed and didn't thank you, I do now. Thank you, and God bless you.
A tip of the hat to all the staff at Dupont Hospital (doctors, nurses and everyone). I was so sick, (they) met me at the emergency room door with a cot. Routine tests done, IV started within a short time, sent up to a room where staff continued to be right there checking me often upon my arrival. Continued this care until I was dismissed. All the staff were wonderful in their caregiving. Thank you, Dupont Hospital.
A major tip of the hat to Fabric & Friends in Roanoke and the Orchid in New Haven. These businesses supplied fabric and meals for about 100 women on a recent Saturday. Participants sewed more than 1,200 pillowcases that will be given to pediatric cancer patients at our local hospitals by the organization ConKerr Cancer. Thanks to all.

Dixie Regional Medical Center proceeds from this year's event will be targeted
toward Heart Services. Cardiac services represent one of medicine's most
utilized and progressive specialties, and Dixie Regional provides comprehensive
care to patients in all stages of heart failure from prevention to advanced
disease. To continue the excellence in the integrated treatment here at Dixie
Regional, two projects are at the forefront: 1) an upgrade to catheterization
lab imaging technology to aid in the diagnosis of heart conditions while
reducing radiation to both patient and staff during procedures; and 2) an
expansion of the cardiac rehabilitation unit to improve the patient experience
and aid in quicker recovery from open heart surgery or heart attack. Dixie
Regional's cardiology program brings together the clinicians and specialists
necessary for our hospital to consistently rank as one of the nation's top
heart hospitals, and this significant investment in catheterization and
rehabilitation services is critical to Dixie Regional's reputation as a
destination center for heart services.

A new powerplant, LSA, air-conditioner, avionics and iPad apps for your Santa's list
|Sagetech's palm-sized Clarity SV (Synthetic Vision-capable) ADS-B receiver takes economical advantage of our new ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) aircraft tracking safety net. It's all part of the NextGen air transportation system.
ADS-B Out transponder devices, by design, transmit precise location to ground stations and all aircraft equipped with an ADS-B receiver. The Clarity SV picks up those ADS-B Out signals from any aircraft in the vicinity carrying the device, (which by law will be just about everybody by 2020). It then delivers the data to an iPad via WiFi link, and the display instantaneously shows where those aircraft are.
The Clarity SV communicates fully with 3D Synthetic Vision software, such as Wing-X Pro, Mountain Scope, iPad EFB and Xtreme Vision 3D. These and other software suites interpret the data to show the nearby aircraft, on a GPS moving map, with AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) 3D Synthetic Vision precision that shows you another airplane's location, altitude, direction of flight and other critically important information.
Clarity SV includes a high-precision WAAS GPS receiver, internal six-to-eight- hour battery, and inflight FIS-B (weather radar, forecasts, NOTAMS, etc.)—and no subscription fees. Price: $1,400. Contact: www.sagetechcorp.com.
For more than 30 years, the name Quicksilver was synonymous with top-quality, fun-flying ultralight aircraft, as more than 15,000 buyers of the kit aircraft discovered. With the advent of the LSA movement and the rush to create "little Cessna 172" aircraft, the virtues—and lower costs—of open-frame, ultralight-style construction went overlooked.
Then mushrooming prices brought renewed appreciation for more basic, affordable aircraft. Quicksilver Aeronautics was given a second lease on life by new investors and management, and at AirVenture this year, the company announced its Sport 2S and partially enclosed cockpit GT500 models (the 500 is already Primary Category certified) should be official ASTM-approved SLSA by the time you read this.
Quicksilver was a top hang-glider manufacturer in the 1970s. When it fitted the popular rigid wing "Quick" with a 15 hp engine, it helped usher in the Ultralight age.
Other aircraft in the Quicksilver line include the single-seat Sprint and Sport, two-place Sprint 2, Sport 2S and single-seat GT 400. The company expects to have all seven models certified as either LSA or Primary Aircraft (to help sell in Europe) by year's end. Contact: www.quicksilveraircraft.com.

Pic of the Week - Page 204
Spinnaker Tower
Location : Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Spinnaker Tower soaring 170 metres above Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent, the Spinnaker Tower is taller than the London Eye, Blackpool Tower and Big Ben and has already established itself as a national icon for Britain. A world class visitor attraction, the much-admired, elegant viewing Tower stands proud over one of the most fascinating seascapes in the world. Situated on the waterfront at Gunwharf Quays, it offers amazing 350º panoramic views of Portsmouth Harbour, the South coast and the Isle of Wight, with views stretching out for up to 23 miles breathtaking by day and a glittering sea of lights by night. There are 3 view decks to explore including Cafe in the Clouds at 105 metres above sea level, plus a gift shop and Waterfront Cafe on ground level.
It was in the evening when I captured this image using a tripod-mounted Canon 5DmkIII camera and a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L lens set to 94mm. I used Live View focusing at 10x on the tower. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, ¼ of a second, f/11, ISO 400 and tungsten white balance. The RAW processing and final adjustments were all done in Photoshop CC

Our new site- [obscured] is about to be launched. Our current developers have gone dark and are have left us with some issues, and we need them fixed in the next few days.
First, the Javascript slider on the home page has sizing issues, on some screens it is distorted and cannot be seen. We need someone to diagnose this and fix it. We also need to change the "see how" to link to the movie, not another page.
Finally, under associates page, the image is the same as each bio, and because the frames are different sizes the images show up distorted. This needs to be fixed.
This project is high priority and we need it completed ASAP, meaning hopefully within the week or less.
Added 5 NOV 2011, 14:54 PM EDT
It has come to my attention that there are many coding errors on the site as well- W3C Markup test gave back some errors. I will need these to be fixed as well. Our budget is around $750.

anyone have 'glx' working on 7800 GS OC ??
I have a 7800 GS OC, and while 'dri' seems to work fine on it with nvidia's
nvidia-drivers, I haven't been able to get 'glx' to work.
If you have 'glx' working under linux with this card I'd like to hear about it,
and get the details from you that have got it working.
The thread below will show my system details, and other details that the nvidia
guys requested to find a solution... with no joy.
I guess they ran out of ideas.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Re: anyone have 'glx' working on 7800 GS OC ??
Don't have much to offer but thought I'd respond just so you might not feel so lonesome out there.
I assume you've done all the usual stuff: latest MB BIOS and drivers and cut off one finger as sacrifice to the Graphic Card Gods. (I'm down to one left to type with.)
Seriously, getting GC fully operational seems to be luck or magic or both. I'm given to believe that Nvidia is better than ATI but neither have the resources to chase down and fix all the Linux issues. Essentially, you're on your own.
I run AMD64 with the 7900GS card. No sweat in WinXP. Major sweat in Linux, especially running a HD projection TV. Tried Fedora 6 for awhile with 9631 then 9746 then 9755 driver. Best results were with 9746. Switched to Ubuntu (6.06) with generally better results. Again, better results with 9746 driver so that's what I'm running now until Ubuntu 7.04 and Fedora 7 hit the street. Then I'll try 9755 (or later) again.
Point is: It sounds like maybe your combination of software/ hardware components may add up to "you can't get there from here".
Perhaps (before you sacrifice too many fingers) you might back up to the 9746 driver. I suspect that 9755 provides little or no utility value to the operation of your card or mine.
You might also consider another distro. Yep, it's a couple of hours of effort but it might give you better results. Might also give you more insight into your problem if you see how another distro handles your card.
Good luck with it.
Re: anyone have 'glx' working on 7800 GS OC ??
Interesting, your ubuntu stuff. I have the latest on a disc around here, and
maybe I'll give it quick spin when I'm rebuilding this machine.
Re: anyone have 'glx' working on 7800 GS OC ??
If you try Ubuntu consider this site:
He's written a set of Python-based programs called "Envy" that are pretty slick. It scopes out your system, determines your hardware and OS, deletes existing as necessary, resolves dependencies, loads and installs necessary deps & driver for your card.
Even runs from GUI. Worked great for me.

64 Women and 12 Men
For the purpose of this study, 64 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia by an ACR physician were chosen by the researchers of the University of Granada, in collaboration with the Asociacin Granadina de Fibromialgia (association of fibromyalgia in Granada). Simultaneously, for the control group, 45 healthy women were randomly chosen. All of them were subjected to a series of medical and physical tests. In addition, the researchers proceeded in the same way with 12 men with fibromyalgia and 12 healthy men.
This research revealed that the symptoms experienced by these women are not limited to pain, but they also present disorders in other aspects that can affect their quality of life. The study showed that this type of patients present impaired motion, which can be used as an additional diagnostic parameter. This is a step forward, since so far, diagnostic tests limited to tender point tests, so it was easy to misinterpret the results. Thus, this test designed by Heredia may be a complementary diagnostic tool.

Best Snorkeling Options in Fiji
Often called the "Soft Coral Capital of the World," Fiji boasts an enormous number and variety of colorful corals—more than 400 species in total. And the country's abundant reefs and atolls teem with sea life, including turtles, sharks, dolphins, eels, sea snakes, manta rays, and a staggering array of fish (35 species of angelfish alone). Fiji's clear tropical waters and balmy weather beckon snorkelers 365 days a year, but the best time to make a splash is mid-summer, when underwater visibility is typically excellent.
Most of the larger resorts offer chartered snorkeling trips and equipment rental on-site. Unlike scuba diving, which requires special permits and expensive gear, snorkeling is simple, and relatively inexpensive. That's why it remains one of the most popular activities among visitors to this South Pacific paradise.
From the golden-hued coral pinnacles off northern Viti Levu, to Kadavu Island's Great Astrolabe Reef, where large groups of Pacific manta rays frequently gather, the azure straights and open seas separating Fiji's islets and islands play host to literally thousands of individual snorkeling sites. But many of Fiji's most popular reefs can only be safely explored during high tide. When the tide is low, exposed coral can cause cuts and bruises. In general, it's always a good idea to ask a knowledgeable local where and when it's safe to dive.
Located between Vanua Levu and the island of Taveuni, the Somosomo Straight is home to the world-renowned Rainbow Reef, consistently rated one of the world's greatest diving and snorkeling sites. This striking reef is the product of a rare phenomenon: as sea water is forced through the narrow, shallow straight, the pressure creates strong currents teeming with nutrients that support living towers of treelike coral.
Even the heavily visited Mamanuca Islands near Nadi have their share of outstanding sites, including the Pinnacle, a coral head that rises more than sixty feet from the lagoon floor.
In Beqa Lagoon, the corals of the Frigate Passage seem to cascade over one another in a great tangled mass. And the nearby southern coast of Fiji's largest island, Viti Levu, is a popular place to dive with sharks—just make sure you're with an experienced dive master!

"CORE is invaluable for reducing the paper chase and telephone tag that has plagued our industry for far too long," said Joel Perlman, CFO, EVP Finance of Montefiore Medical Center in New York. "Having this national solution will make it easier for everyone to perform real-time electronic transactions, and devote more resources to patient care."
"The study shows that when a health I.T. solution like CORE benefits both providers and health plans, adoption of electronic data interchange accelerates and ROI increases. This scenario advances the goals of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, including the need to lower overall healthcare costs and improve the quality of care," said Barbara Archbold, Healthcare Sales and Solutions Leader for IBM's Global Business Services. "Meeting such goals becomes easier and more attractive when everyone in the industry is playing by the same rules."

We ***loved*** our stay at Podere Rigopesci!!! Carla, her son Giuseppe, and his sweet girlfriend Nicole were all welcoming and helpful. Between my very limited Italian and their much-better English, my husband and I were able to learn more about nearby hill towns we were planning to visit.
Each morning, we were treated to an authentic Tuscan breakfast, often including fresh fruit from the family garden and homemade pastries. Everything was delicious.
The room we stayed in (with the neat ladder against the wall) was spacious and comfortable with a private bath, a sitting area, and two locking doors to the outside. It adjoins the common breakfast area. The shower had great pressure and was very quick to heat up. The king bed (two twins together with king bedding) was quite comfy, and along with the clean country air, our tired feet (from exploring) and the ultra-quiet environment, we slept hard!!
The grounds were lovely, including a beautiful backyard garden where we sat and drank wine under the stars.
We highly recommend this B&B! Our only "wish" is that air conditioning would be nice - or fans- because it was quite hot and humid during our June stay... But... Not at all a deal-breaker. I'd return to Carla's home-away-from-home in a heartbeat.
This is the coolest place we have ever stayed - EVER! Carla's apartment is very comfortable and she and her family made very entertaining, interesting, caring and wonderful hosts. They have taken extra care to provide a clean, beautiful, modern space for their guests that also maintains a very Tuscan charm. As an added bonus, Carla was very patient with my limited, choppy attempts to speak Italian with her (she speaks some English so we figured it out)! But her son spoke perfect English and was also a very warm and fun person to get to know. I wish we could have spent a lot more time there, and am sincerely hoping we can return some day. We miss her family and the wonderful accommodations already!
The shared kitchen/living room area was so perfect and it was very nice to have a convenient space where we could cook a bit for our daughter, make afternoon coffee or tea, and enjoy meeting the other family staying there. This is also where Carla prepares an absolutely delicious breakfast each morning. She even cuts fresh flowers from the property to keep the room beautiful and vibrant.
But then when we wanted privacy, our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also so nice - a nice big tile shower with plenty of warm water and water pressure, which we have learned is definitely not a given, especially traveling in the Italian countryside. The main bed was extra roomy (equivalent to a king size, also rare in Italy!) and very comfortable. And we are picky about beds! She also put an extra child's bed in our room for our daughter and she loved it. We had plenty of blankets, towels, etc.
The property (Carla's family lives in the main house and the apartments are a building just down the hill from the main house with plenty of convenient parking) is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning view of Montichiello up on a hilltop and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. There are many flowers and plants to enjoy in Carla's yard, and they have a really nice patio/pergola area that is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Montichiello is a really quaint town with absolutely awesome food and views of the Val d'Orcia, and is perfectly located between Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza. We honestly could not have been happier with everything: the hosts, the apartment, the grounds, the location. It was all so so perfect.
The absolute HIGHLIGHT of our Italy trip! Located just on the outer edge of Monticchiello, this place is what me and my now fiance consider our home in Italy. Carla and her son Giuseppe and his girlfriend Nicole were absolute awesome hosts. They gave us great recommendations of nearby towns and hot springs. We spent an hour before dinner having wine with Giuseppe and Nicole the night I asked my girlfriend to marry me. Nicole made coffee and breakfast for us each morning (they even bought a cappaccuino maker just for us! [and future guests of course]). We consider them our family in Italy and miss them a lot. The room is PLENTY for two people, spacious, comfortable, and with a breathtaking view in the backyard. The room is the master bedroom/bathroom in a three bedroom guest house but it is seperated from the others so you have a lot of privacy. When we do return to Italy, we will ABSOLUTELY come back! Ciao Carla, Giuseppe, e Nicole!!!! Tanto Amore!!! -Phillip and Uyen
Carla villa is very beautiful with 3 bedrooms inside.
Every room is different and very spacious.
Quite an easy drive to get to carla place.
This area of val d'orcia is very beautiful and worth spending more than a week here.
Carla provides her guests with the care one would give to dear friends. All our needs we're met. We were welcomed on arrival at whatever time we pleased. She upgraded our room.
Nous sommes restés deux nuits chez Carla, qui nous a particulièrement bien accueillis. Nous avons pu parler en français, et Carla nous a conseillé les endroits à voir dans le coin - nous l'avons écoutée et n'avons pas été déçus ! Bagno Vignoni est un endroit étonnant, Pienza et San Quirico des petits villages charmants, etc.
La chambre était particulièrement spacieuse, la salle de bain nickel, et la maison très mignonne, chaleureuse, d'esprit un peu typique campagnarde ou "à l'ancienne" (mais avec tout le confort nécessaire). A l'extérieur, des transats permettent de se relaxer ou de regarder le ciel étoilé.
Venir depuis Florence était assez pratique, le GPS nous a emmené pile devant la maison ! Il y a de quoi se garer sans problème.
La maison est située dans un endroit très tranquille, il n'y a donc aucun problème de bruit, les nuits (et jours !) sont calmes. Le village le plus proche, Montichiello, est à quelques minutes de voiture. La région du Val d'Orcia est par ailleurs magnifique ! Plusieurs petits villages aux alentours méritent le détour, le plus dur est de choisir quoi mettre au programme !
Le petit déjeuner était délicieux, avec des produits frais, différents en fonctions des jours, et de nos préférences.
Carla a été très attentionnée et également souple au niveau des horaires (notamment pour le petit dej), il n'y a rien à redire.
Nous avons même pu utiliser la cuisine un soir pour nous préparer un repas, plutôt que d'aller une énième fois au restaurant, ce qui était appréciable.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Carla et aurions souhaité qu'il dure plus longtemps ! C'est avec plaisir que nous y retournerons :)
Encore merci !

It can be tempting to write off your most difficult customers as impossible to please. But how you handle temperamental patrons has a big impact on the way other customers and even employees perceive your business. Learn to support your staff in difficult situations-and still win over your toughest critics.
By Tara Remiasz
Sometimes a customer is difficult because he or she has a temperamental personality, but other times it is because there is a legitimate complaint. The following are strategies that fellow small business owners and managers use to support their employees and convert difficult patrons into valued customers.
Make it Personal, but Don't Take it Personally
When one of Lori Jo Vest's clients changed production coordinators several years ago, Vest made a trip to meet the new coordinator in person. From the start, it was clear that the new coordinator wasn't going to be easy to work with, says Vest who is a sales and customer service consultant in Birmingham, Mich., and works with Metro Detroit-based audio and production studios.
"She always seemed rushed and unpleasant," Vest says of the client. The coordinator's harsh tone was having a negative impact on the morale of a scheduler who dealt with her on a regular basis. "I'd watch [my scheduler] hang up the phone and her shoulders would just slump," Vest says.
Vest assisted her scheduler with a bit of advice that she tries to impart on all of her employees, "They are not mad at you, they are mad at the company and you are just a representative. It's not personal."
Vest may tell her scheduler not to take the abusive treatment personally, but she also advised her to develop a more personal relationship with the client. "I said, 'Lets make it a game.'" She told her scheduler to put on a big smile every time the client called, and ask her about her life, ask her how she is doing, ask her how her new cat is. It took between six and nine months for the production coordinator to warm up to Vest's scheduler, but today she is one of the company's best clients.
This personal approach is key to transforming a difficult client into an asset. For this reason, Vest prefers to respond to any complaints over the phone instead of through e-mail. "I tend toward the very personal approach, and e-mail is so easy to misinterpret," she says. "[On the phone] they can hear your tone of voice, they can hear your compassion."
Having a live operator to handle questions and complaints is key to diffusing a difficult or dissatisfied customer, says Matt Eventoff, president of Princeton Public Speaking, LLC, Princeton, N.J. Eventoff recommends going one step further with the personal approach and giving clients your personal cell phone number. "If you run a pretty small shop, everybody should be of value to you," he says.
Give Customers a Release Valve
Often, just showing that a complaint is being taken seriously can diffuse a customer's frustration. Convey that you value his feedback by allowing him to talk to you—the leader of the company—or someone else who is higher up in the business scheme. "At some point the buck does stop," says Justin Kitch, founder and CEO of Homestead.com in Menlo Park, Calif. "People like having that release valve as high up as possible, but I demand respect as well."
It's common for people's attitudes to cool off when they realize they're speaking to the CEO of the company, Kitch says. "It's almost like the answer doesn't matter. [It's] just the fact that we're listening."
Although it's a good practice to send difficult calls up the company hierarchy, absolutely never have someone lower on the chain respond to an issue than the original person who took the complaint, Eventoff says. If a complaint is bumped up to you, don't strategize about how to diffuse the situation while the customer talks, he says. Instead, really listen to what he or she is saying.
Compromise, but Always Get Something in Return
Sometimes, a customer is difficult, not because he is upset, but because he wants you to bend the rules on something such as pricing. In these cases, Vest tries to meet her clients' requests—at least part way—but she will always ask for something in return. For example, if a client insists on better pricing, Vest will come down from the standard fee. But, she will ask for this client's word that her company will be his first call every time they are looking for a TV or audio production studio.
Don't Try to Be All Things to All Clients
One of the best ways to handle difficult customers is to stop a bad relationship before it even starts. When trying to win or keep business, it can be difficult to tell people that your company doesn't specialize in something they are requesting. But, being straightforward with them can save them and your employees a lot of heartache.
When a client said he wanted Kitch's employees to design a Web site like Janet Jackson's, Kitch knew it wasn't realistic based on this customer's resources. "There are probably three or four people who maintain Janet Jackson's Web site," he says. Kitch's staff told the client that they would not create a Janet Jackson-inspired Web site, and then they focused on all the positive things Homestead.com could do for the client. The key is to emphasize all of the benefits that your business can provide, without promising something that will lead to frustrations down the road.
