12 U.S. Code § 1743 - Insurance of mortgages
(a) Additional authorization; advances during construction
(b) Eligibility requirements
To be eligible for insurance under this section a mortgage shall meet the following conditions:
(1) The mortgaged property shall be held by a mortgagor approved by the Secretary. The Secretary may, in his discretion, require such mortgagor to be regulated or restricted as to rents or sales, charges, capital structure, rate of return, and methods of operation. The Secretary may make such contracts with, and acquire for not to exceed $100 stock or interest in any such mortgagor, as the Secretary may deem necessary to render effective such restriction or regulation. Such stock or interest shall be paid for out of the General Insurance Fund, and shall be redeemed by the mortgagor at par upon the termination of all obligations of the Secretary under the insurance.
(2) Preference or priority of opportunity in the occupancy of the mortgaged property for veterans of World War II and their immediate families, and for hardship cases as defined by the Secretary, shall be provided under such regulations and procedures as may be prescribed by the Secretary.
(3) The mortgage shall involve a principal obligation in an amount—
(B) not to exceed 90 per centum of the amount which the Secretary estimates will be the necessary current cost of the completed property or project, including the land; the proposed physical improvements; utilities within the boundaries of the property or project; architects' fees; taxes and interest accruing during construction; and other miscellaneous charges incidental to construction and approved by the Secretary: Provided, That such mortgage shall not in any event exceed the amount which the Secretary estimates will be the cost of the completed physical improvements on the property or project, exclusive of off-site public utilities and streets, and organization and legal expenses: And provided further, That the principal obligation of the mortgage shall not, in any event, exceed 90 per centum of the Secretary's estimate of the replacement cost of the property or project on the basis of the costs prevailing on December 31, 1947, for properties or projects of comparable quality in the locality where such property or project is to be located; and
(C) not to exceed $8,100 per family unit for such part of such property or project as may be attributable to dwelling use.
The mortgage shall provide for complete amortization by periodic payment within such term as the Secretary shall prescribe, and shall bear interest (exclusive of premium charges for insurance) at not to exceed 41/2 per centum per annum on the amount of the principal obligation outstanding at any time. The Secretary may consent to the release of a part or parts of the mortgaged property from the lien of the mortgage upon such terms and conditions as he may prescribe and the mortgage may provide for such release.
(c) Payments; default; insurance benefits for mortgagee; value of mortgage; foreclosure of mortgage
The failure of the mortgagor to make any payment due under or provided to be paid by the terms of a mortgage insured under this section shall be considered a default under such mortgage, and if such default continues for a period of thirty days, the mortgagee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of the insurance as hereinafter provided, upon assignment, transfer, and delivery to the Secretary, within a period and in accordance with rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of (1) all rights and interests arising under the mortgage so in default; (2) all claims of the mortgagee against the mortgagors or others, arising out of the mortgage transaction; (3) all policies of title or other insurance or surety bonds or other guaranties and any and all claims thereunder; (4) any balance of the mortgage loan not advanced to the mortgagor; (5) any cash or property held by the mortgagee, or to which it is entitled, as deposits made for the account of the mortgagor and which have not been applied in reduction of the principal of the mortgage indebtedness; and (6) all records, documents, books, papers, and accounts relating to the mortgage transaction. Upon such assignment, transfer, and delivery the obligation of the mortgagee to pay the premium charges for mortgage insurance shall cease, and the Secretary shall, subject to the cash adjustment provided for in section 1739 (c) of this title, issue to the mortgagee debentures having a total face value equal to the value of the mortgage, and a certificate of claim as hereinafter provided. For the purposes of this subsection, the value of the mortgage shall be determined in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary, by adding to the amount of the original principal obligation of the mortgage which was unpaid on the date of default, the amount the mortgagee may have paid for (A) taxes, special assessments, and water rates, which are liens prior to the mortgage; (B) insurance on the property; and (C) reasonable expenses for the completion and preservation of the property and any mortgage insurance premiums paid after default; less the sum of (i) an amount equivalent to 1 per centum of the unpaid amount of such principal obligation on the date of default; (ii) any amount received on account of the mortgage after such date; and (iii) any net income received by the mortgagee from the property after such date: Provided, That the mortgagee in the event of a default under the mortgage may, at its option and in accordance with regulations of, and in a period to be determined by the Secretary, proceed to foreclose on and obtain possession of or otherwise acquire such property from the mortgagor after default, and receive the benefits of the insurance as herein provided, upon (1) the prompt conveyance to the Secretary of title to the property which meets the requirements of the rules and regulations of the Secretary in force at the time the mortgage was insured, and which is evidenced in the manner prescribed by such rules and regulations; and (2) the assignment to him of all claims of the mortgagee against the mortgagor or others, arising out of the mortgage transaction or foreclosure proceedings, except such claims that may have been released with the consent of the Secretary. Upon such conveyance and assignment, the obligation of the mortgagee to pay the premium charges for insurance shall cease and the mortgagee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of the insurance as provided in this subsection, except that in such event the 1 per centum deduction, set out in (i) hereof, shall not apply.
(d) Certificates of claim; amount
The certificate of claim issued by the Secretary to any mortgagee in connection with the insurance of mortgages under this section shall be for an amount determined in accordance with subsections (e) and (f) ofsection 1739 of this title, except that any amount remaining after the payment of the full amount under the certificate of claim shall be retained by the Secretary and credited to the General Insurance Fund.
(e) Debentures; date of issuance; interest
Debentures issued under this section shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of section 1739 (d) of this title except that such debentures shall be dated as of the date of default as determined in subsection (c) of this section, and shall bear interest from such date.
(f) Applicability of other provisions
(g) Mortgages in connection with sale of property under subchapter I, II, VIII, or X of this chapter
The Secretary shall also have power to insure under this subchapter or subchapter I, II, VIII, or X of this chapter any mortgage executed in connection with the sale by him of any property acquired under any of such subchapters without regard to limitations upon eligibility, time, or aggregate amount contained therein.

Las Cruces, N.M. – The New Mexico State men's and women's tennis programs were each honored with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic Award, the ITA announced this week. The individual Scholar Athlete list was also released. The teams are among six Western Athletic Conference teams named to the list.
The men's team led the WAC with eight ITA Scholar Athletes, while receiving the All-Academic Team award for the second straight year. The women's team garnered six scholar athletes and made the team list for the 10th time in 11 years.
Junior Germain Degardin, sophomores Thomas Douglas, Liam Goldberg, Jeremy Harlas, juniors Patrick Pfister, Strahinja Trecakov and seniors Naveen Manivannan and Marc Westgate were named to the ITA Scholar Athlete list. This is the second straight season for Degardin, Harlas, Manivannan, Westgate and Pfister and the first honor for Trecakov, Goldberg and Douglas.
On the women's side, junior Susana Alcaraz, freshman Brittany Collens and sophomore Ashvarya Shrivastava picked up the award for the first time as Aggies, sophomore Mia Brandt and junior Denise Van Der Ben were named to the individual list for the second time and departed senior Annemieke Witte garnered the award for the fourth straight season.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above. All eligible student-athletes have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2013 and spring 2014).
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must be a varsity letter winner, have a grade point average of at least 3.50 for the current academic year and have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters.
Both teams earned success on the court as well. The men finished the year 12-11 (3-0 WAC) and the women 11-12 (1-0 WAC). Both teams finished the season by reaching the finals of the 2014 WAC Championships this spring.

Thurgood Marshall Leadership Academy's Thanksgiving dinner Tuesday night had all the traditional fixin's: turkey, mashed potatoes, ham, green beans, rolls and various desserts. But this gathering was about more than celebrating the November holiday.
"It's a dinner with a purpose," said Tameka Wilson, the school's interim principal.
The "Stand up, speak out, feed out bullying" community dinner was a gathering of students, families and members of the community and gave students the opportunity to show off what they'd learned in character education, a national program focusing on six areas, or pillars, of strong character.
For the past month, Marshall Academy students have been learning about the sixth pillar of respect, which also includes bullying awareness.
Classes studied the topics in different ways and presented what they learned in different forms like posters and performances, including a rap, for the attendees.
"It's very important to let the community know that bullying can happen in school but it also shouldn't be happening outside of school," Wilson said.
The Urban League and teachers at the school donated food items, and the school's lunch provider cooked the food.
•Bishop Luers High School Music Department will hold its annual Christmas concert on Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium. Admission is free.
•On Dec. 8 Bishop Luers High School will administer the Henry-Keefer Merit Scholarship Exam to any current eighth-grade students interested in competing for a total of $10,000 in scholarships to attend Bishop Luers. Pre-registration cost is $10.00. Please arrive at the school at 7:45 a.m. Exam begins at 8:00 a.m.
•Manchester University junior Miranda Piercy will receive a PNC Foundation-Indiana scholarship to help her toward a career in elementary education. Piercyis one of two Hoosiers to receive the Foundation's "Improving School Readiness for Underserved Children through Teacher Training Scholarship."
•Formula for Life students will be collecting donations of construction supplies, surgical supplies and bulk food for direct receipt by the Rev. Andre Sylvestre, the director of a Haitian orphanage students are working to rebuild. Those who wish to donate should contact Amy Obringer, Formula for Life faculty adviser, to make sure the donation fits the Haiti project. She can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com or 399-7700, ext. 8210. Donations will be accepted through Jan. 10.

By Carol McIntire
May 21, 2013
What has been known to Carroll County residents the last couple years was reinforced to the state Thursday when the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) released its 2012 Utica Shale production numbers: Carroll County is the leader in Utica Shale production.
During a televised "State of the Play" conference in Columbus last week, ODNR officials released information that places Carroll County at the top of the list for the number of wells in production as well as both oil and gas produced.
Carroll County led the state in the number of wells producing at 50; an additional 99 have been drilled and permits issued for another 108.
Three drillers reported production numbers for Carroll County: Rex Energy, Enervest Operations LLC and Chesapeake Exploration LLC. Companies are required to report numbers by March 31 of each year for the preceding year.
Rex Energy reported one producing well in Carroll County, the Brace well in Washington Twp. Enervest submitted reports for one well, the Cairns well in Harrison Twp. The other 39 producing wells in the county (as of Dec. 31) belong to Chesapeake.
Production days ranged from two days on the Scott well in Perry Twp. to 306 days for the Shaw well in Center Twp.
The best producing well in the county was the Burgett well in Center Twp. Chesapeake reported the well produced 46,914.01 barrels of oil, 342,445 MCF (1,000 cubic feet) of gas and 17,082.5 barrels of brine in 206 days of production. A barrel of oil is equivalent to 42 gallons. ODNR officials noted the number of days produced does not necessarily indicate consecutive days of production. Additionally, they said it is unlikely any of the wells produced at anything near capacity. Wells produced at high initial rates have the potential of being permanently damaged.
They also noted reported gas volumes likely include both "dry" and "wet" gas. "Markets and pipeline capacity are limited so production is likely choked back," they wrote in the report. "Once processing plants are up and running, the produced wet gas volumes will dramatically increase."
The gas produced by 82 wells represents about 16 percent of the total gas produced in 2012. Total gas production is based on production from about 50,000 conventional wells along with the shale gas wells.
Numbers were reported for producing wells in Augusta, Brown, Center, East, Harrison, Lee, Perry and Washington townships.
Harrison County was the closest to Carroll County in producing wells with eight. Columbiana County has six wells, Guernsey, 5; Tuscarawas, 2; and Stark, 2.
ODNR officials noted the number of producing wells increased from two to 87. At this rate of growth, they expect Utica shale well production to exceed the yearly output of all of Ohio's nearly 51,000 existing conventional wells by as early as 2015.
Utica wells represent less than one percent of all producing oil and gas wells in Ohio.
"The production from these initial Utica wells makes a compelling statement about the staggering amount of oil and gas resources Ohio's shale appears to contain," said ODNR Director James Zehringer. "As more data is collected and analyzed, ODNR will continue to report it and continue its careful regulation of this rapidly growing and economically vital industry."

I'm 40DD asymmetrical post reduction 30 years. I'm unable to wear any support bra that causes pressure against ribcage due to multiple fractured ribs in 1996 & costal chondritis so desire reduction to small C. I've sought consults w/ 3 Top Docs. Doc #1 says she can remove 650>R/500>g. Doc# 2 is reluctant to remove desired amt due to possible nipple loss. Doc 3 says most he will reduce is 250g R & 170 L He would leave nipple untouched. Q. Is desired reduction amount too risky? Bellasma
What is Percentage of Complications for 2nd Reduction?
Doctor Answers 2
Risks for a repeat reduction
A second reduction can be done but the risks of post-operative problems are certainly higher. If I have a patient requesting a second reduction, I request a copy of the operative report from their first surgery as this can help me plan the second. Even so, the risk of problems with wound healing or nipple loss are higher. Whether this risk is reasonable for you is something you need to be honest with yourself about and discuss with your surgeon. I had one patient who did have a significant healing problem which required revisionary surgery. She ended up considerably smaller than either of us had anticipated. However, she understood the risk and was willing to accept it and so, for her, it all worked out. But it was a much longer recuperation than anticipated and she had an additional surgery. Good luck to you with your decision.

U.S. Ninth Circuit Judges to Discuss: "Governing With the Gavel?"
As confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor proved, the country remains divided on the role and scope of the courts. The Pomona Student Union will present a discussion between Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Stephen Reinhardt '51, Judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, regarding the proper role of judges and courts in a democratic society. This discussion will held at Pomona College on Thursday, November 12 at 8 p.m., in Edmunds Ballroom (Smith Campus Center, 170 E. Sixth Street, Claremont, 91711).
Kozinski and Reinhardt will address some of the following questions: Are judges referees—calling "balls and strikes"—or does interpretation of the law require a more complicated, subjective process? Should empathy play a role in interpreting the law? Do Senate confirmation hearings for judicial nominees provide a substantive, meaningful check on the executive branch? As the Supreme Court prepares to debate and rule on cases ranging from national security policy, to campaign finance law and executive privilege, these questions merit examination.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal is by far the largest of the thirteen courts of appeal and has a reputation for liberal judicial activism. Since 1993, there have been several proposals introduced in the U.S. Congress to split or otherwise reorganize the Ninth Circuit.
Kozinski earned both his A.B. (1972) and J.D. (1975) from UCLA. He went on to clerk for then-Ninth Circuit Judge Anthony Kennedy and Chief Justice Warren Burger. Kozinski's first judicial appointment was as chief judge at the newly formed United States Court of Federal Claims in 1982.

text: The Salvation Army Song BookIn the preface to "Salvation Army Songs", published in 1899, William Booth wrote: "Surely no man has ever been called upon to make, or direct the making of, so many song books as have I." While there is no complete list of the song books issued under his direction, it is clear that he had a significant influence on all the principle collections used by The Christian Mission and The Salvation Army for congregational singing between 1865 and 1930.Revival HymnsThe earliest hymnbook known to have been compiled by William Booth was The Revival Hymn Book, a booklet of 112 hymns with 6 additional hymns on the title page and covers. This was published on August 4th 1866. Thirty-four songs from this book are included in the Song Book we use today.This was followed in June 1868 by The Enlarged Revival Hymn Book, which included 333 hymns, with five additional hymns printed on the title page and end pages.The Christian Mission Hymn BookIn early 1870, William Booth compiled The Christian Mission Hymn Book, a collection of 531 hymns. This was published, as Booth explained in the preface, because "we have not found one containing a sufficient number of hymns suitable for the regular services of a congregation, and at the same time adapted to all the requirements of open air and revival meetings". At about the same time Booth published some other books: A revised edition of The Revival Hymn Book (125 hymns) The Children's Mission Hymn Book (123 hymns) The Hallelujah Hymn Book (106 hymns)Revival MusicSo far, all the hymnbooks published for The Christian Mission included the words of the hymns only and it is still the practice in Salvation Army meetings for congregations to sing from books with words only, with the music being published in separate tune books for band, organ or piano accompaniment.William Booth's first tune book, Revival Music, published in 1876, had 494 tunes and above most of the tunes were cross-references to the numbers of the hymns in The Christian Mission Hymn Book and The Hallelujah Hymn Book.In the preface William Booth said: "It contains such a collection of popular revival melodies as has never before appeared". Responding in advance to possible objections to the use of secular tunes, he stated: "I have sought to print just that music which has been sung amidst the most overpowering scenes of salvation in this country and America during the last 30 years, and only those who appreciate such music can be expected to favor my design."Booth was at first reluctant to use secular music but soon realized the value of using melodies with which the people were already familiar. One example is Champagne Charlie is my name which became Bless His name he sets me free. (Chorus 149)1878 Song BookWhen The Christian Mission adopted the name The Salvation Army in 1878, there was an immediate need for a new song book reflecting this change. A revised edition of The Christian Mission Hymn Book was published in August 1878, under the title: Songs of The Salvation Army know as The Christian Mission. It contained 546 songs and a supplement of 101, including 89 songs not in The Christian Mission Hymn Book, omitting 75 hymns from the earlier hymnbook. The supplement, which was a revision of The Hallelujah Hymn Book, was also published as The Hallelujah Book.Before the end of 1878, a revised edition of the earlier Revival Hymn Book was published with the title The Salvation Army Song Book, including 118 songs. This book was intended for services in opening new Stations and where 'large numbers of strangers' were unlikely to purchase the large Song Book.New Songs, 1879-99In July 6, 1879 The Hosanna Songs of The Salvation Army was published marking the emergence of distinctive original Salvation Army songs.The first penny song book with the title The Salvation Army Soldier's Song Book appeared in 1880. Several editions followed in the next 20 years.In October 1880, Holiness Hymns was published. This was a collection of 101 songs selected from the various Song Books. Also, a revised edition of the tune book, Revival Music, appeared under the title Salvation Army Music, with supplementary tunes bringing the total to 532.1899 Song BookIn November 1897, William Booth asked Richard Slater to begin collecting together songs for a new song book. From a total of over 11,000 songs, Richard Slater selected about 2,500 from which William and Bramwell Booth and a council; of officers made the final selection. The new song book, Salvation Army Songs, published in July 1899, included 870 songs and 216 choruses. In May 1900, a new tune book, Salvation Army Music, appeared, containing 303 tunes. Brass parts were published in 1900.1930 Song BookA new song book, Salvation Army Songs, 1930, compiled by a Song Book Council established by General Bramwell Booth included 1,003 songs and 730 choruses. About 170 songs from the old song book were omitted and 300 new songs were included.In 1928 a new Band Tune Book, with 541 tunes, was published and a four-part harmony edition, The Salvation Army Tune Book for Congregational Singing was published in 1931.1953 Song BookThe next new song book, The Song Book of The Salvation Army, 1953 included 983 songs and 457 choruses. 208 songs from the 1930 Song Book were omitted and 186 new songs were included. In 1953 The Salvation Army Tune Book Supplement, containing tunes 542-756, was published in 1953.In 1963 The Young People's Song Book of The Salvation Army was published and contained 395 songs. The Salvation Army Tune Book Supplement No. 2 was also published at this time containing tunes 757-807, to provide tunes needed for the new young people's song book, and some additional tunes for general use.1954 American SupplementThe American Supplement was published to add to the Songbook used in North America songs of a patriotic nature (or culturally relevant) not included in the International songbook and songs that were not granted reproduction permission in the USA edition in a "words only" format.1974 Keep Singing!In May 1974, a Song Book Council was established to consider the need for a new song book. In a series of nine meetings the Council initially prepared Keep Singing! (1976), a supplement to the 1953 Song Book containing 102 songs (words and music).1986 Song BookAfter the publication of Keep Singing! the Song Book Council continued to meet over the course of the next ten years. The result came in 1986 with The Song Book of The Salvation Army. It contained 962 songs and 251 choruses. 236 songs from the 1953 song book were omitted and 217 new songs were added.Simultaneously, a new tune book was in preparation to provide tunes for the new song book and for a new young people's song book, Sing for Joy. Band parts for the new tune book were published in August 1988.1987 North American Edition of New SongbookIn 1987 a new North American Edition of the songbook was published included a revised American Supplement.Last WordAlthough Salvationists in every generation sing many new songs, the words of William Booth, quoted in each new edition of the Song Book since 1899, are still relevant today: "Sing till your whole soul is lifted up to God, and then sing till you lift the eyes of those who know not God to Him who is the fountain of all our joy."

You can walk to everything from this hotel. They have Free parking and a pass to save an admission fee for the beach. The pool is tiny, but nice... Only a 2.5 hour drive from Maryland.

Not happyPosted Aug 17, 2013
Pros: Close to boardwalk
Cons: Alot!! I honestly feel like i shoulf be compensated.
I am not happy with my experience. The room was very shabby, tight to move around and very outdated. The rate should be like 40 dollars a night not 80! Also went to open the microwave and there was a bucket of old fries ....yuck. and the shower was gross witg a stained "comfort inn" shower curtain. My daughter also seen blood on the curtains of front window. Not happy.

good enoughPosted Aug 14, 2013 on Hotels
This hotel was fine for just an, overnight stay at the beach on a budget, but not a comfortable place to be spending a vacation stay. The shower in our room was not cleaned from the last person, but the people were friendly and helpful and location was great.

Wasn't a nice hotel but if you are looking for a place just to sleep after a day of drinking it works.

Would not stay here again.Posted Jul 26, 2011
Although the front desk staff was kind, the room itself was unclean and unkept. The doors are VERY hard to UNLOCK and LOCK and I found myself strugging just to get INSIDE and OUTSIDE of my room. The only good thing about this hotel is the location as it is situated 1 block from the beach and boardwalk and 1 block from all the clubs.

Yikes!Posted Jul 22, 2010
This motel was a bit scary. There were good points- location- a block from beach/boardwalk, wireless, pool that was ok, fridge in the room. However, the condition of the motel was rather scary- did not appear to be very well taken care of, and the room itself wasn't very clean- I didn't feel comfortable going barefoot in it. There was a mark/stain of something that looked like blood in the shower. I was afraid to sleep on the sheets. No one came in to clean the room between the 3 days/2 nights we stayed. So, stay at your own risk. Not the scariest room I ever stayed in (that was in college on spring break), but be aware the condition is sketchy.

Do not stay herePosted Jul 7, 2010
Window was broken in our room, they gave us another room which still had trash behind the beds and on the floor. Trash bags lined the walkways up to our room. The window was never fixed and they gave the room out to another family. The place was full of weird employees watching you. All in all the place sucked and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
Why doesn't this go on here?
I can't even see what you are holding buddy. What is it?
He holds up a Lego wheel part and the wheel from a wooden rocket ship toy that he pulled apart earlier that day.
That isn't going to work buddy it's not made to fit together.
Why not?
Because Lego didn't make that wheel, so it doesn't fit with Lego parts.
But why mom, why doesn't it?
Because it has to be made by Lego to fit onto that piece.
But why mom, why does it?
There is no answer to your question honey.
Head down and face averted. Don't say that to me mom, you're destructing me.
I'm what?
You're destructing me with that.
Are you trying to say that I'm being destructive to you or that I'm destroying you?
No I'm just saying that you are destructing me.
Destructing isn't a word. You can say that I'm destroying you or that I'm being destructive to you.
No mom, you're just destructing me, stop destructing me.

Did he maybe mean distracting? Like you were trying to get him off the subject or something?
(likely not. I'm attempting to apply reason where there probably is not a lot.)
I thought about that later on and asked him if he was trying to say distracting. He was, and my heart lurched a bit at the image of him practising the word to himself over and over again until he found an opportunity to use it, and then I completely misunderstood him. poor kid. It's a good thing their not easily discouraged.ReplyDelete

The first mini PC with Intel Core i3 processor will be available in two versions: only the motherboard and barebone chassis and power supply.
Intel officially joined the mini PC industry with the first two NUC (Next Unit of Computing), which will be on sale from next month. Both models (DC3217IYE and DC3217BY) will be available in two versions: one motherboard or barebones kit with an aluminum frame and plastic, cooling system and power supply to 19 volts, which the user will have to add RAM and mass storage. The NUC are also based on Ivy Bridge 22-nanometer and will be priced between 300 and 320 dollars. A third model (DCCP487DYE) will hit the market during the first quarter of 2013.
The NUC DC3217IYE DC3217BY and share almost all the technical features. The boards are installed in a chassis-shaped box (11.7 × 11.2 × 3.9 cm) which exhibits outside the various connection ports: three USB 2.0 (two on rear, one front) , HDMI (two for the model DC3217IYE), a Thunderbolt for DC3217BY and Gigabit Ethernet for DC3217IYE. There are also two antennas WiFi and Bluetooth.
The motherboard is based on Intel QS77 Express chipset and supports dual core ULV Core i3-3217U (1.8 GHz, TDP 17 Watt HD Graphics 4000 GPU and 350 MHz-1, 05 GHz), two slots for DDR3 memory 1066/1333/1600 MHz (up to 16GB), a mini PCIe half-length (for modules Bluetooth and WiFi) and a mini PCIe full length with mSATA support that allows you to connect a SSD. Included is provided an external 19 Volt. To assemble the mini PC you should buy then the RAM, solid state drives (SSD mSATA Intel offers the model 520 from 180 GB) and cable (Type C6) to connect the power supply to the chassis.
Intel NUC has been designed to perform various tasks, ranging from HD video to digital signage, in all areas where you need a small device, with a decent processing power and low power consumption. The cost of the hardware, the user must add also that of the operating system. Intel ensures compatibility with Windows 8, as well as previous Windows XP/Vista/7.

Which would you consider safer? We've always had an electric range/stove, and that's all my family ever had when I was a child. We are buying our first home, and I'm considering possibly upgrading the range/stove. I'm wondering what others think about the safety of gas vs. electric. My ideas so far
-No open flame
-No possibility of gas leak
-Controls usually at the back of the stove and out of reach of children
-Slow heating/cooling time means a lot of time for potential burns before/after actual cooking
-No clear visual indicator to a child that it is on/hot (I don't think the "surface heat" indicators are helpful at all for a toddler or preschooler)
-Quick heating/cooling time
-Easier to see if it is off/on
-Open flame
-Possible gas leaks, especially if the child manages to turn on the gas but not ignite the burner
-Controls are often on the front and therefore accessible to small children (though I know child locks are available)
Other thoughts? Am I missing something? Has anyone else made safety a primary consideration when choosing a new stove/range, or did you mostly go with your personal preference and just implement safety measures accordingly?
Monkey (31) + Pirate (28) = a forever family (5/10) - Baby Bird (8/12), our long-awaited first, one (9/13 @ 7w 6d), and Baby Yummy (10/6/14)
With ours you have to push in and turn to access the gas and it then makes a clicking noise while trying to light so we can hear if any little hands happen to access it, which is pretty rare.
I am not sure if it is rational or not but I am definitely more afraid of burns with the electric ones than our gas. Maybe because they can visibly see the flame, whereas electric only changes color when very hot.
My gas stove has a safety feature that if the gas is on and it does not ignite within a certain amount of time the gas flow is turned off. It then beeps at me and I have to go check the knobs and press a button to get it working again. Between this and proper installation, I'm not worried about gas leaks.
When my kids were little I used knob guards and a stove guard as preventatives. I had climbers, so I would have needed the knob covers no matter where the knobs were located. And I never walked out of the kitchen with the stove on. I did like that the burners cooled off really fast, so I didn't have to babysit the stove while it cooled down.
