Zotac GTX660Ti AMP! Review
The Witcher 2
Published: 16th August 2012 | Source: Zotac | Price: £269.99 |
The Witcher 2
Finishing off with The Witcher 2 and we return to where we have been throughout this review. A pair of cards that are impossible to separate such is the closeness of their results.
Most Recent Comments
The second of our reviews of the new GTX660Ti is courtesy of Zotac, and their AMP! model.
Continue Reading
Also price difference between the 660ti and 670 is next to nothing, no reason not to save a few extra � up and go for the 670 or save some money and grab a 7950.
You also didn't say what tesselation? disabled/normal/extreme ?
OC 7950 smokes the OC 7970? wtf?
I bought a GTX570 and it cost �240 then, it still costs �220 now!
The GTX670 came in upwards of �350 and they are still over �300.
The sweet spot for these cards I believe is around �250 at launch.
Then a little while later, when prices begin to fall, the special editions come around and they can charge a bit more.
You mentioned the importance of aesthetics in your review Tom. On that note I would bring your attention to your graphs. I find them difficult to use. I'd like to see the reviewed card in a different colour to make it stand out and maybe group the cards according to type and have the best at the top. And yes I have to agree, some of the results did seem a bit odd, the reference GTX670 in BF3 beating the MSI for example.
That aside, a very good and Prof review as always.
Keep up the good work.

Caught in The Act
Closing Jam Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
Closing Jam Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
We honestly didn't know it was going to happen, but Chad Smith surprised the entire theater when he brought all of the evening's featured drummers onstage to perform a completely unrehearsed jam at the end of his set. Here are a few views of the slightly chaotic but definitely fun throw-down.
Here's how it looked from the side of the stage.
Now here's a view from the back of the stage. (You can't accuse us of not covering all the angles.)
From left to right: Chad Smith, Jason Bittner, Cindy Blackman-Santana, Frank Zummo, Justin Imamura, Adam Alt, and Bobby Alt take their final bows at the end of the show.
Jason Bittner signs a Sabian Holy China cymbal that Chad Smith randomly handed to an audience member toward the end of his set.
After all was said and done, DRUM! Night 2013 was a wild success. If you weren't there, you missed a great drumming event – but here's a video shot by an audience member of the final jam (keep your eyes peeled for a professional video production shot by Drum Channel):
Chad Smith Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
Chad Smith Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
We've tried to convince Chad Smith to appear at DRUM! Night every year since its inception in 2009. Who says persistence doesn't pay off? This year's show finally happened to coincide with his busy schedule, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers were scheduled to play at Outside Lands in San Francisco the day after DRUM! Night 2013. So here are a few shots of his set that reveal several different sides to Smith's onstage personality.
Chad Smith, caught in the grips of a groove, hammering hard.
It's interesting that this living legend kept his spare sticks lying on the floor next to his throne. Is that how he does it with the Chili Peppers?
Smith demonstrates an old-school soloing trick by laying an elbow into the batter head to alter the pitch of his snare drum.
Once a goofball, always a goofball.
Changing things up, Smith segues into a samba feel.
Cindy Blackman-Santana Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
Cindy Blackman-Santana Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
After a brief stage changeover, Cindy Blackman-Santana took over the stage from Jason Bittner to present a totally improvised set of melodic and challenging drum solos.
The audience appeared spellbound as Blackman-Santana began her set. Look closely enough and you might spot her husband, Carlos Santana, looking on from his far-right balcony seat.
Come to mention it, Cindy seemed equally spellbound as she plumbed the depths of her creativity.
Blackman-Santana channeled the best of Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, and other jazz legends while soloing on her vintage '60s Red Sparkle Gretsch kit.
The great drummer shared her philosophies about drumming and life during her question-and-answer session.
Jason Bittner Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
Jason Bittner Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013
DRUM! Night 2013 clinics kicked off with Jason Bittner, who managed to live up to his reputation as a powerhouse double-bass thrasher while surprising the crowd with styles and techniques rarely associated with metal drumming.
Here's my favorite shot from the reams of photos that have thus far made it to the DRUM! office. Here we get the rare chance to share the exact view Bittner had as he launched into his set.
Bittner concentrates on placing his notes in direct proportion to the click track blasting into his headphones.
A maze of stands, cymbals, drums, laptops, and water bottles surround Bittner during his clinic.
Check out the perspective from the balcony as Bittner improvises a chops-heavy solo for the crowd.
Gear Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013 Expo
Gear Gallery From DRUM! Night 2013 Expo
Last Friday's DRUM! Night 2013 festival was a tremendous success, with exhibitors, artists, and attendees alike proclaiming this year to be our best presentation yet. While every seat in the San Jose Repertory Theatre's 500+ auditorium was completely sold out to see Chad Smith, Cindy Blackman-Santana, Jason Bittner, and Street Drum Corps, most attendees arrived early to check out all of the cool drum and percussion gear on display during our pre-show Expo.
Twenty lucky ticket holders were chosen to attend a 4:00 electronic drum kit seminar, in which Bob Terry explained and demonstrated the many creative options available with his Yamaha DTX/Zildjian Gen16 setup.
In this shot, Terry hands the sticks to an audience member and encourages him to give the system a test drive.
The Expo opened up to the rest of the audience at 5:00 with a mighty bang as gear-hungry drummers began to flood the aisles.
As they did last year, Sabian used the opportunity to debut its all-new roster of Cymbal Vote models at DRUM! Night 2013, which the public will gradually whittle down into the company's lineup of new cymbals for 2014.
Eric Gunn of Craviotto Drum Company seems bemused by the onslaught of drummers crowding the exhibit floor.
Adam Murphy explains the subtleties of drumhead selection to two rapt youngsters at the Remo exhibit.
A proud mom looks on as her daughter is guided through basic drumming technique by Mike Farriss at the Pearl booth.
The DRUM! Night merch table did record sales this year – of course we gave ourselves a particularly sweet location.
Up on the balcony level, Bob Hymans explaines how the miracle of Velcro sets his Black Widow Drum Web apart from conventional drum rugs.
John Jones listens attentively while a DRUM! Night attendee asks a question about the impressive assemblage of Thumper snare drums on display.

A watched plot never thickens.
I don't know about that guy from the neck up.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
The Gunner Kiel saga has gone on so long that I honestly thought he was in his late twenties by now. My guess is that his first commitment (to IU) went south after spending a whole day with Kevin Wilson.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Didn't his brother transfer anyway before last season? Of course I imagine his brother probably felt pretty uncomfortable once Gunner de-committed.
I refuse to say anything bad about a guy who is trying to find the right situation and I agree he's a good pickup as a "lottery ticket" type.
When people say that I dont know what Im talking about when it comes to sports or writing, I think: Man, you should see me in the rest of my life.
---Joe Posnanski
How long before he decommits from Skyline to Gold Star and transfers to Price Hill Chili?

Each year, while shopping for everyone on my large Christmas list, I have found myself turning to RedEnvelope for gifts more and more. Their wide selection of items makes it easy for me to get a lot of shopping done at just one place. Plus, I love that they also offer unique and personalized gifts for those people that are hard to please. So, it's no surprise that I had to include RedEnvelope in my Holiday Gift Guide again this year.
RedEnvelope is an online store that offers an array of gifts for everyone on your list. From baby to toddler and Christmas gifts for her and him, you will find a thoughtful gift for everyone at RedEnvelope. Also, RedEnvelope provides exceptional gift box presentation and varied shipping options for those times when you need to have a gift delivered. You can rest assured that each gift from RedEnvelope is unique, exclusive and memorable.
This year, when given the opportunity to review another terrific item from RedEnvelope, I opted to go with the Wall Gallery Frame in Espresso. This beautiful hanging gallery allows you to showoff your most beloved pictures in an artful way. The pre-arranged frames hold up to nine photos and are linked together to create a truly eye-catching piece. Removable white mats inside the frame allow for a professional look, while the hardware adds a clean and modern edge.
When the Wall Gallery Frame from RedEnvelope arrived, I pulled out one small box and then proceeded to dig through the packaging to find the other. Much to my surprise, that was the only box in there. I figured that either some pieces were missing or that the Wall Gallery Frame was smaller than it looked on the website. The later ended up being the case.
The Wall Gallery Frame comes with a wall mounting template to determine the desired height of the frames and to ensure that the gallery is level (with the help of a leveler, of course). After you have the template in the desired place, simply use a pushpin to mark the wall for placement and then drill a hole at each pinhole for the plastic wall anchors. After the anchors are in place, mount the brackets to the wall over the wall anchors and then secure with supplied screws. After installing the hanging rod, hang the frames and enjoy your unique wall art! Even though we haven't hung the Wall Gallery Frame yet (we haven't decided on the perfect place for it), C said that installation shouldn't be difficult at all.
Buy It: The Wall Gallery Frame ($79.95) is available for purchase at www.redenvelope.com

Exelon Generation owns and operates two hydroelectric power plants - one run-of-the-river and one pumped storage - along the Susquehanna River in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Conowingo Hydroelectric Generating Station and Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility provide more than 1,600 megawatts (MW) of low-carbon power generation, as well as much needed load-leveling and baseload (24/7) power.
Exelon Generation's two hydroelectric power plants can provide nearly 1,600 MW of reliable, environmentally friendly power generation that complements the company's fossil, renewable and nuclear portfolios.
The installation of fish lifts at the Conowingo Dam has helped restore the American shad population over the past 30 years. Exelon's stewardship of 9,000 acres of land along the lower Susquehanna River offers public recreation and nature conservancy in the region, including a $4.5 million investment in a new fishing wharf at Conowingo that is handicapped accessible.
Learn more about Exelon's environmental and business strategy, Exelon 2020.
Both Conowingo and Muddy Run currently hold licenses issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that expire in 2014. Exelon wishes to preserve this virtually emissions-free generating capacity and its electrical output, while enhancing both environmental integrity and local community relationships. In August 2012, Exelon filed applications to relicense both Muddy Run and Conowingo with FERC. Typically, a FERC license is issued for a period from 30 to 50 years.
All Exelon facilities employ sophisticated emergency response plans to protect public health and safety. These plans are reviewed and approved by state governments and regulatory agencies. The emergency planning includes coordination with local counties, municipalities and school districts.
Exelon Generation continues to monitor and modify the security arrangements for its hydroelectric facilities.
Giving back. Our power plants aim to be good neighbors within their local communities with active involvement through sponsorships, charitable giving and volunteering focusing on the environment, education, the arts and diversity. We encourage our employees to give back to their communities and we recognize their efforts through various programs.
Exelon Power is headquartered in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. A business unit of Exelon Generation, Exelon Power is responsible for the company's fleet of fossil, renewable and hydroelectric generating assets. Exelon Power fully owns and operates Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility and Conowingo Hydroelectric Generating Station.
Conowingo Hydroelectric Generating Station is a run-of-the-river power plant located on the Susquehanna River in northern Maryland. Conowingo has been providing electric power to the region since 1928. Water flow of the Susquehanna River provides fuel to turn 11 turbine generators.
Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility generates electricity for peak demand, which is typically during the morning and early evening hours. At night, as electricity demand decreases, the units are reversed and used as pumps to fill the upper reservoir for subsequent peak demand periods.
Exelon Power Fact Sheet [PDF | 94 KB]Exelon Power is the business unit within Exelon Generation Company, LLC that is responsible for managing, operating, and maintaining the company's fossil (coal, oil, and natural gas), landfill gas, hydro, wind and solar-powered fleet of generating assets.

Redemption is one of life's great gifts. And the story of former Yakuza toughie Tatsuya Shindo, who runs a Japanese "snack" club called June Bride, is among the better examples I've heard of it:
June Bride's proprietor is Tatsuya Shindo, and he is not a barman. From the age of 20, Shindo peddled stimulants in and around Tokyo for a gangster family under the nationwide Sumiyoshi-kai yakuza syndicate. After several stints in jail, he decided to start offering something else entirely: the gospel.
"I know how bad I was and the bad things I have done," says Shindo, 39, thin-framed and sporting a devilish bit of chin stubble. "At the same time, I know how much I was forgiven by God. So I wanted to engage myself in God's work."
Now, inside this converted bar, the former gangster presides over the Friends of Sinners Jesus Christ Church, where he takes the pulpit and preaches to former troublemakers on the mend. "They are seeking divine intervention," says Shindo, a Kawaguchi native, of his congregants. "They want God to help them with their problems."
I suppose the cynic would look askew at Tatsuya. So be it. He need not care.

42 U.S. Code § 1395g - Payments to providers of services
(a) Determination of amount
The Secretary shall periodically determine the amount which should be paid under this part to each provider of services with respect to the services furnished by it, and the provider of services shall be paid, at such time or times as the Secretary believes appropriate (but not less often than monthly) and prior to audit or settlement by the Government Accountability Office, from the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, the amounts so determined, with necessary adjustments on account of previously made overpayments or underpayments; except that no such payments shall be made to any provider unless it has furnished such information as the Secretary may request in order to determine the amounts due such provider under this part for the period with respect to which the amounts are being paid or any prior period.
(b) Conditions
No payment shall be made to a provider of services which is a hospital for or with respect to services furnished by it for any period with respect to which it is deemed, under section 1395x (w)(2) of this title, to have in effect an arrangement with a quality improvement organization for the conduct of utilization review activities by such organization unless such hospital has paid to such organization the amount due (as determined pursuant to such section) to such organization for the review activities conducted by it pursuant to such arrangements or such hospital has provided assurances satisfactory to the Secretary that such organization will promptly be paid the amount so due to it from the proceeds of the payment claimed by the hospital. Payment under this subchapter for utilization review activities provided by a quality improvement organization pursuant to an arrangement or deemed arrangement with a hospital under section 1395x (w)(2) of this title shall be calculated without any requirement that the reasonable cost of such activities be apportioned among the patients of such hospital, if any, to whom such activities were not applicable.
(c) Payments under assignment or power of attorney
No payment which may be made to a provider of services under this subchapter for any service furnished to an individual shall be made to any other person under an assignment or power of attorney; but nothing in this subsection shall be construed
(1) to prevent the making of such a payment in accordance with an assignment from the provider if such assignment is made to a governmental agency or entity or is established by or pursuant to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or
(2) to preclude an agent of the provider of services from receiving any such payment if (but only if) such agent does so pursuant to an agency agreement under which the compensation to be paid to the agent for his services for or in connection with the billing or collection of payments due such provider under this subchapter is unrelated (directly or indirectly) to the amount of such payments or the billings therefor, and is not dependent upon the actual collection of any such payment.
(d) Accrual of interest on balance of excess or deficit not paid
Whenever a final determination is made that the amount of payment made under this part to a provider of services was in excess of or less than the amount of payment that is due, and payment of such excess or deficit is not made (or effected by offset) within 30 days of the date of the determination, interest shall accrue on the balance of such excess or deficit not paid or offset (to the extent that the balance is owed by or owing to the provider) at a rate determined in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of the Treasury applicable to charges for late payments.
(e) Periodic interim payments
(1) The Secretary shall provide payment under this part for inpatient hospital services furnished by a subsection (d) hospital (as defined in section 1395ww (d)(1)(B) of this title, and including a distinct psychiatric or rehabilitation unit of such a hospital) and a subsection (d) Puerto Rico hospital (as defined in section 1395ww (d)(9)(A) of this title) on a periodic interim payment basis (rather than on the basis of bills actually submitted) in the following cases:
(A) Upon the request of a hospital which is paid through an agency or organization with an agreement with the Secretary under section 1395h of this title, if the agency or organization, for three consecutive calendar months, fails to meet the requirements of subsection (c)(2) of such section and if the hospital meets the requirements (in effect as of October 1, 1986) applicable to payment on such a basis, until such time as the agency or organization meets such requirements for three consecutive calendar months.
(B) In the case of a hospital that—
(i) has a disproportionate share adjustment percentage (as established in clause (iv) of such section) of at least 5.1 percent (as computed for purposes of establishing the average standardized amounts for discharges occurring during fiscal year 1987), and
but only if the hospital was being paid for inpatient hospital services on such a periodic interim payment basis as of June 30, 1987, and continues to meet the requirements (in effect as of October 1, 1986) applicable to payment on such a basis.
(C) In the case of a hospital that—
(2) The Secretary shall provide (or continue to provide) for payment on a periodic interim payment basis (under the standards established under section 405.454(j) of title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on October 1, 1986, in the cases described in subparagraphs (A) through (D)) with respect to—
(A) inpatient hospital services of a hospital that is not a subsection (d) hospital (as defined in section 1395ww (d)(1)(B) of this title);
(B) a hospital which is receiving payment under a State hospital reimbursement system under section 1395f (b)(3) or 1395ww (c) of this title, if payment on a periodic interim payment basis is an integral part of such reimbursement system;
if the provider of such services elects to receive, and qualifies for, such payments.
(3) In the case of a subsection (d) hospital or a subsection (d) Puerto Rico hospital (as defined for purposes of section 1395ww of this title) which has significant cash flow problems resulting from operations of its intermediary or from unusual circumstances of the hospital's operation, the Secretary may make available appropriate accelerated payments.
(4) A hospital created by the merger or consolidation of 2 or more hospitals or hospital campuses shall be eligible to receive periodic interim payment on the basis described in paragraph (1)(B) if—
(A) at least one of the hospitals or campuses received periodic interim payment on such basis prior to the merger or consolidation; and

Valuable Lesson About Variables
by AMNH on
In the last few weeks, 13-year-old Aidan — a 2011 Young Naturalist Award winner whose scientific project, described in his essay The Secret of the Fibonacci Sequence in Trees, garnered much attention for examining whether patterns of tree leaf distribution were linked to more efficient sunlight collection—received another important lesson in his young scientific career.
A Vanished Species: Thylacinus cynocephalus
by AMNH on
Thylacinus cynocephalus goes by many common names: Tasmanian wolf, Tasmanian tiger, zebra dog, pouched wolf, and marsupial dog, among others. A quick look at the animal explains the confusion. Shaped like a dog, striped like a tiger or zebra, pouched like an opossum, and reputed to behave like a wolf, it became many different creatures in the popular imagination.
But the thylacine is, or was, a unique species. Now considered extinct, the thylacine was a carnivorous marsupial that lived in Tasmania and fed primarily on kangaroos, wallabies, small mammals, and birds. Nocturnal and shy, it was seldom seen by humans. Nonetheless, beginning in the 19th century, settlers believed the animals threatened their livestock and, spurred on by a bounty offered by the government, hunted them relentlessly. Despite numerous unconfirmed reports of sightings in recent decades, no definitive sightings have occurred since the 1930s.
Titanosaur Nest from The World's Largest Dinosaurs
by AMNH on
They are some of the rarest of rare artifacts: fossil dinosaur eggs with the embryo still inside. And they are prized for what they can tell paleontologists about the adults that laid them.
The exhibition The World's Largest Dinosaurs features a scale model of a nest found at Auca Mahuevo, Argentina, one of the largest known dinosaur nesting sites in the world. While it isn't always possible to figure out which dinosaur laid a particular egg, in this case, an embryo within an egg found at Auca Mahuevo site allowed scientists to identify these eggs as those of titanosaurs, a group of sauropods that included such species as Ampelosaurus and Saltasaurus. Herds of female titanosaurs are thought to have laid the thousands of eggs — 15 to 40 at a time — in shallow nests dug out with their huge feet in dry mud and sand over miles of ground at Auca Mahuevo.
Podcast: A Hitchhiker's Guide to Habitable Planets in Our Galaxy

Almost every star is now thought to form with a planetary system around it. But just how rare a phenomenon are habitable planets? In this podcast, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Linda Elkins-Tanton discusses what is currently known about planetary formation—and what is needed to encourage the development of life.
Dr. Elkins-Tanton's talk, "A Hitchhiker's Guide to Habitable Planets in Our Galaxy," was recorded at the Museum on April 11, 2011.

Comments about Outdoor Research Voodoo Pants (Men's):
I already had a favorite pair of prana cotton pants for climbing, so I bought these for hiking. But as soon as I got these they became my new favorites for every outdoor activity! The fit is great, they are the only slim-fit activewear pants I could find. They aren't skinny, but I don't feel like I'm swimming in fabric: perfect. They are stretchy for climbing and hiking, and move with me very well. Also, they are styled well enough that they don't look out of place with "normal" non-technical clothing.
Hands down my new favorite pants.

Comments about Outdoor Research Voodoo Pants (Men's):
I wore this pant on a multi-day alpine climb in the Alps and was super impressed as to how well they handled all that was thrown at them. Great stretch when on the rock and they shed snow and moisture well. Then when they did get a bit wet they dried out very fast. Great pant for when you don't want to bring much - they can be worn travelling. Zippered pockets add a nice bit of security when in airports etc.

Parents question immersion program changes

My daughter just completed her fifth year in Newby's TWI program. She will be a fifth-grader in the 2013-2014 school year. As a result of the program, she is almost completely fluent now in both Spanish and English.
One of the parents' chief issues with these program changes stem from the district's changing story regarding the origins of the TWI program. We were told when we enrolled our daughter five years ago, that TWI was a true dual-immersion program, designed to produce children who were dual-lingual. Now we are told that the program was envisioned as primarily a boost to ELLs (English Language Learners), who would flourish side-by-side with native-Engish-speakers.
We believe that any public school program should benefit all its students, not primarily one limited group. If the nature of the TWI program is as the district now describes, we resent not being told that our children were essentially being used to boost the ELL program, with the secondary benefit of gaining Spanish fluency.

What is JUCE?
JUCE is a wide-ranging C++ class library for building rich cross-platform applications and plugins for all the major operating systems. Having been actively developed since 2003, it is used by thousands of developers around the world, and JUCE-based apps are used by millions of people every day.
The JUCE Experience
There are lots of practical reasons to use JUCE, but the most common compliment is purely aesthetic: "The code's just really nice!" A decade of development, mostly by one person, has led to a codebase that is highly consistent, literate and easy to use.
JUCE has hundreds of classes covering a vast range of tasks from high-level user-interface handling right down to low-level collections, networking, strings, etc. Supported platforms are OSX, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and the Introjucer project management tool makes it a breeze to maintain cross-platform projects.
JUCE built in an entirely modular manner, meaning you can easily find what you need, and use only those elements that you need. Everything is divided by function, from GUI basics to cryptography, and the modules all work together as a consistent whole.
Any behind-the-scenes platform-dependent code is kept away from public view and implementation details are hidden. When you include JUCE header files, they only include pure C++ classes, and won't pull in any OS-specific headers. Wherever it's possible to use a pure C++ technique instead of native functionality, we've done so.
High Quality C++
JUCE is led by Jules Storer, a professional C++ coder for 20 years, who has studied all the available C++ guru literature. Every class in the library is intended to be a good example of the best possible coding practices – so if you spot anything dodgy lurking in there, don't hesitate to let us know!

The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) welcomes the recent announcement by the federal government regarding the regulatory approval of the Joslyn North Mine Project.
The project represents a major investment in Canada's oil sands, an opportunity that will bring additional jobs and growth for the Canadian economy.
For the province of Alberta, the Joslyn Mine translates to $9 billion in new capital investment, $52 million a year to municipal property tax revenues and over $10 billion in revenues for provincial and federal government over the next 40 years.
Currently more than 140,000 Albertans are employed directly by the mining industry, and that figure is expected to increase over the next 10 years.
Alberta is also home to more than 540 mining industry suppliers, the third-largest number in Canada, providing services ranging from environmental, engineering and geotechnical consulting to drilling equipment.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Easter was this last weekend. A religious holy day for many, but also a secular celebration for most of us.
Egg hunts abound, but seldom do they really involve real eggs anymore. Health issue and convenience have transformed them into an event where the kids scramble for plastic eggs filed with candy and hopefully a ticket for a big prize.
I watched kids cry because all they got is candy in their eggs.
I am amazed at the parents that I know that also fret over buying their kids "Easter presents" for the baskets. I'll admit this year I bought each of my grandkids a kite for Easter rather than add to the candy they were getting from many other sources, but I am referring to others who stress over I-pods and DVD's and other items to keep the children happy.
I'm not sure when Easter turned into a second Christmas. I used to get a new dress for Easter, but it was my spring go to church dress and I knew I would be wearing it every Sunday until fall.
When I was a kid, (I know many of you are rolling your eyes and tuning me out already) candy was a more of an uncommon treat. So we looked forward to Easter, Valentines day and Halloween as special because we were treated to candy we normally never got.
No I was not deprived. It was really rare to see a kid walking around with candy or a soda. Yes we did get them but not every day or even every week. We had cookies and kool-aid and other treats, but candy and sodas remained special.
Now I see two year olds walking around with bags of skittles at 10 in the morning, sippy cups filled with coke or pepsi and toddlers grabbing big gulps from their parents and sucking up the contents while smiling parents look on with pride.
You see 12 year old's with a can of Red Bull and a bag of Doritos and wonder why he has to take Ritalin to stay in his seat at school. Teens are drinking sports drinks because they think they are healthier than pop, but are getting way too much sodium and electrolytes they don't need.
As I struggle to keep myself healthy, I am grateful for the good foundation of nutrition I had as a kid. It was a gift our parents didn't even think twice about giving us. We are not doing that with this generation of young children. While it may be hard to go against the grain and limit the candy, pop and other junk food your child eats; it is one of the biggest presents you can give them for a long and healthy life.
Now that I have spouted off and maybe insulted some of you I will just say that I enjoy watching the organized Easter Egg hunts every year and applaud those that work so hard to make them special. I also am glad we have so many parents in our community that find ways to keep or make family traditions for their kids even if it is not the way I would do it.
I hope it was a special day for all.

from OTTAWA
I was shock to see this barette at this price; I own a few of these in different color; three pink and one blue(refer to the color of the Mother of Pearl.)I didn't pay nearly as much and the quality was not that great; the blue barrette broke really fast. To be fair, I brought them in a department store and not at TSC. Even though they look exactly the same; maybe they made from different manufactures.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not impressed: cheap quality
By Violettuxedo
from Edmonton
For the price, I am not impressed with this barrette. It is cheaply made and my hair, although quite fine in texture - the barrette barely keeps my hair in place. And the barrette is not made for your hair to be pulled into a pony tail style. The clasp at the back is so cheap for a barrette. This style of barrette is commonly sold for about $5 to $10 at drugstores and novelty stores in the mall.

When an overzealous homeowners association ordered retired Army Col. Van Barfoot, a Medal of Honor recipient, to stop displaying a U.S. flag on his property last fall, the public response was deafening. Blog sites, such as The American Legion's Burn Pit, overflowed with comments from outraged readers. Friends of Barfoot started a Facebook page in support of his right to display the flag; the effort soon had nearly 63,000 fans. Letters to the editor poured in. National media picked up on it. Finally, under nothing more than pressure from the people, the association decided to drop the matter. Disturbing as the incident was, this can happen, and does happen, across the United States.
The whole phenonemon strikes me as ironic. A ban can be imposed against a war hero who wants to fly the flag of our country over his own property, but there can be no such ban on desecrating the sacred symbol of our freedom. "Sorry, Mr. Veteran, you're not allowed to fly the flag on your private property, but the Constitution says you can urinate on it, spit on it and burn it all you want."
For the past 21 years, dating back to the Supreme Court's flawed 5-4 Texas v. Johnson decision, The American Legion has been fighting to end that irony. By a margin of one justice's vote, flag-protection laws enacted by 48 states and the federal government were invalidated.
Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens and the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist usually voted differently, but they were both right about flag desecration.
"In my considered judgment, sanctioning the public desecration of the flag will tarnish its value, both for those who cherish the ideals for which it waves and for those who desire to don the robes of martyrdom by burning it," Stevens wrote. "That tarnish is not justified by the trivial burden on free expression occasioned by requiring that an available, alternative mode of expression - including uttering words critical of the flag - be employed."
Rehnquist: "I cannot agree that the First Amendment invalidates the act of Congress, and the laws of 48 of the 50 states, which make criminal the burning of the flag."
Fortunately, we can do something about this. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives that would allow for a narrowly drawn constitutional amendment that would return to the people the right to protect Old Glory. It simply says, "The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States."
Flag-protection amendments have passed the House six times, only to fall short of the necessary two-thirds supermajority required in the Senate by the narrowest of margins. It is true that most Americans - and all 50 state legislatures - agree that our flag is worth protecting. That is why The American Legion continues to fight on Old Glory's behalf, and always will.
Please join me today in contacting your congressional representatives to seek their support for House Joint Resolution 47 and Senate Joint Resolution 15. The number is toll-free: (877) 762-8762.
and, like all symbols, is created to represent moral and ethical premise(s); e.g. the U.S. Constitution. It would be a corruption of our Constitution to enshrine any symbol.
Having been employed in property management, a majority of communities have CC&R's, which all residents read and acknowledge by signature. If portions are not agreeable to those residents, they should work through their HOA to have the subject clause changed/eliminated.
While I personally view the desecration of the flag as reprehensible, it does provide a clue to the character of the person(s) committing the act. It would be far preferable to engage in a campaign to convince the media outlets to ignore such childish antics, depriving such person(s) of the attention they desire.
Changing the Constitution is not going to stop those who feel that desecrating the flag is a way to express their opinions. They have the right of free speech and expression, as it should be. Under those same rights, I have the freedom to treat them like they are dead, or better yet, never born. Let the word get out that desecrating the flag may not be a crime, but your community, friends, and neighbors who don't approve of it will be showing you nothing but their backs as they walk away. It is going to take social pressure to get flag burners to stop. Treat them (and their cause) like they/it never existed. No matter how just the cause, turn your backs to the flag desecraters. And while I agree in principle with the ideals of a democratic republic, the majority still rules!!
We must not give in to our own emotions over the flag. It is a symbol yes, but one that we collectively own. It belongs just as much to another, and their choice of expressions with it is their right. You can have a flag, and display it all you want, I would oppose anyone trying to interfere with the one you have. If they purchased, or made their own though, they should and are free to use it as they please. I don't agree with the appeal to emotion in the piece, as I would oppose the restrictions on the gentleman displaying his flag as well. Just because a group was wrong, doesn't mean it can be used to argue another point. We should all be fighting for flag freedom, as the Commander argued for for the gentleman in the piece. He should not however, turn around and vote to restrict freedom for dissenting action which emotionally disturbs him. In the end it belongs to us all, not just the one.
I abhor desecration of the American Flag. However, I believe that such desecration is constitutionally protected as an act of free speech and expression. There are all manners of free speech and expression that I do not like. But I served in the military to protect free speech and expression.
I recall that a previous Commander, who vehemently opposed flag burning, opined that the flag is only a symbol of what we hold dear, freedom and democracy.
And it isn't about the minority ruling. Our forefathers established our democratic republic as a method to prevent the minority living under the tyranny of the majority.
Commander, respectfully sir, please give thoughtful consideration to your brothers and sisters in arms that hold the opinion presented here by @rdickerson. The effort and expense of lobbying to usurp the Constitution we all once swore to defend and protect should be redirected toward a program that benefits, for example, active duty and recently discharged veterans and their families.
I for one believe that desecrating our National flag should be considered an act treason. We don't allow for citizens to desecrate Goverment property like our National monuments which are symbals of our country. Then why let them desecrate Old Glory? I bet if it were a goverment bought flag then there would be action! but because it's privately owned the goverment doesn't have a law to protect it. Maybe a 1 cent tax to the goverment on every flag would make it destruction of goverment property and then they could procecute and the 1 cent tax would cover the cost of prosecution. Just a wild idea, but you see there are ways to make this happen!

The Basics of Universal Precautions: Teaching staff to avoid infection
Universal precautions refers to infection control measures that all health care workers and child care providers follow with the goal of protecting themselves and the children in their care from disease-producing microorganisms. The concept requires workers to treat all blood and various other bodily fluids as if infected with HIV, hepatitis B virus, and other bloodborne pathogens.
The camp experience includes many activities where children explore nature and interact with others, so both minor and major injuries can be expected. In very rare circumstances, contact with blood or other body fluids can be a means of infection transmission. Thus, universal precautions should be considered an important component of staff and volunteer training and education. All people who work in a camp setting must understand the proper precautions to take to prevent the spread of infection.
The Basic Principles
Following are the basic principles of universal precautions.
Contact with blood must be avoided
If a camper scrapes a knee or cuts himself, camp staff should be sure that no other child touches the blood. In the administration of first aid, there must be a barrier between the person helping the child and the blood. Examples of barriers include towels, a t-shirt, a bandana, bandages, or whatever is accessible. Surgical gloves may not be readily accessible in the outdoors, but should be provided throughout the camp where cleansing may be needed and at every activity area.
All body fluids (except sweat) should be considered potentials for infection
Blood is the major risk for transmission for the serious bloodborne infections like HIV and hepatitis B. Contact with urine and stool should be avoided, because other pathogens (such as CMV or diarrhea causative agents) can be spread via these fluids. Saliva and spit and nasal drainage are major ways respiratory viruses are spread. Tears are not a major source for infection, and sweat is not considered a risk.
Universal Precautions Applies to Everyone
The term "universal precautions" emphasizes that infection control measures apply to everyone, staff and campers. Many persons can harbor infectious agents and be asymptomatic and unaware. Confidentiality mandates that camp staff may not be aware of an individual camper's diagnosis. Universal precautions assures that all persons are treated equally. Further, the actions of the staff can be powerful teaching tools to teach children that infection prevention measures are easy and expected.
Specific examples of prevention measures are the following.
- Injury involving bleeding: Do not touch the blood; use a barrier to stop the bleeding and cover the injury. Use gloves at the medical facility if significant first aid is indicated (make sure to inquire about latex allergy first).
- Wet bed or loss of stool or vomit: Do not touch urine, stool, or vomit. Clean up child and area as appropriate. If the environment needs cleaning, wear gloves and use a cleaning solution. Put soiled clothes and sheets where others will not touch them.
- Use of restroom: Staff should wash hands with soap for 30 seconds after use of restroom or helping a child use the restroom.
Camps are responsible for training employees and instructing volunteers about universal precautions and for supplying proper equipment. Such equipment should include: gloves in every cabin and activity area, antibacterial soap at all sinks, and a mouth shield with a one-way valve for each lifeguard. It is recommended that all camp staff receive the hepatitis B vaccination (a series of three injections given over six months).
Knowledge, preparation, and attention to proper equipment can help to ensure a safe environment for campers and staff. Applying basic universal precautions will minimize risks of infection transmission and contribute to the wonderful experience of camp for everyone.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Sabres are moving with break-away speed on planning for their $123 million dollar HARBORcenter project for the Webster block near Buffalo's waterfront and the First Niagara Center.
The combined facility will blend office space, retail, hotel, and of course hockey with indoor hockey rinks.
Team officials say the focus has been intensified without the games on ice.
"It's kind of bonded us together as a whole organization around the team and everything else," Sabres Chief Development Officer Cliff Benson said. "If there was anything good about the lockout, it's the fact that we had so many people involved in the Harbor center project that otherwise have a lot of duties. As far as where things are. They're in great shape."
Team officials say everything still points to a March groundbreaking and September 2014 for the main structure complete with indoor hockey rinks. The hotel portion should be finished in the spring of 2015.
