Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Toronto put six runs across in the first inning and never looked back as the Blue Jays routed the San Francisco Giants behind R.A. Dickey, 10-6, in the opener of a two-game set from the Rogers Centre.
Dickey (3-5) struck out a season-high 10 in six innings of six-hit, two-run ball for Toronto, which has won three in a row after dropping its previous three.
"I felt like I had a pretty good knuckleball today," said Dickey. "I was getting a lot of swings and misses."
The Jays brought 11 batters to the plate in the opening frame and put six runs across, giving Dickey an early cushion. Pablo Sandoval's throwing error allowed leadoff hitter Melky Cabrera to reach base. Jose Bautista then drew a walk and Edwin Encarnacion and Mark DeRosa followed with RBI singles.
Two batters later Colby Rasmus delivered an RBI poke to right and following a Henry Blanco strikeout, Emilio Bonifacio and Cabrera plated runs with sharp liners that fell in front of the Giants outfielders. Toronto did not have an extra base hit in the frame.
Cabrera paced the Jays' 18-hit attack with a 4-for-5 effort which included two RBI and two runs scored against his former club. Encarnacion also drove in two and scored twice, while Brett Lawrie had a season-high three hits.
"We got some big hits the other way," said Jays manager John Gibbons. "We were staying on the ball and that's what good hitters do."
Barry Zito (3-2), who had allowed more than one earned run just once all season, was tagged for eight runs -- five earned -- on a season-high 12 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
"They hit a fair amount of my pitches tonight," admitted Zito.
Trailing 6-0, Nick Noonan put San Francisco on the board in the top of the second with an RBI single to right.
The Giants tacked on another run in the fourth when Brandon Belt clubbed his fifth of the season, a solo shot to right field.
Zito, who had settled down after the six-run opening stanza, was pulled with men on the corners and two down in the sixth inning. George Kontos took over and on his second pitch, Encarnacion ripped a two-bagger over the head of Hunter Pence in right field. Pinch-hitter Adam Lind then singled off Kontos' foot, plating another run, and Lawrie capped the three-run inning with his RBI double to right.
The Jays' final run came in the seventh inning. With two away, Bonifacio singled and Cabrera plated him with a double to deep right field.
San Fran got things going late with four runs in the final two innings. The first came in the eighth on a Belt RBI double, and the final three in the ninth on Sandoval's three-run shot to left field off Brad Lincoln.
Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5 and extended his hitting streak to 13 games.
Scutaro has at least two hits in nine of his last 10 ... Toronto improved to
5-8 all-time against San Francisco ... The Jays went 8-for-17 with runners in
scoring position.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

A busy winter high school sports season wraps up this week with the state boys basketball tournament at Target Center and Williams Arena.
Teams in four classes begin play Wednesday, March 20. Championship games are Saturday at Target Center.
Here's a tournament primer:
Apple Valley (28-1), the No. 1 seed in the big-school division, comes in with a 27-game winning streak. Park Center (26-3), the No. 2 seed, is the only team to beat Apple Valley this season. That happened Dec. 8, when the Pirates defeated the Eagles 72-70 in the Breakdown Tip Off Classic at Minnetonka High School.
Apple Valley is led by point guard Tyus Jones, the No. 2-ranked junior in the country. He is surrounded by a standout supporting cast that includes Dustin Fronk, Dennis Austin and Harry Sonie.
No. 3 seed Edina (22-7) features perhaps the best inside-outside combo with Graham Woodward, a point guard who averages 26.3 points, and Reggie Lynch, who averages 14.1 points and 8.4 rebounds a game.
The most interesting quarterfinal is expected to be between No. 4 Woodbury (25-4) and No. 5 seed Eden Prairie (21-8). Eden Prairie, fourth in last year's state tournament, is led by Andre Wallace and Grant Shaeffer. Wallace averages 16.1 points a game, and point guard Shaeffer 12.6. Shaeffer quarterbacked the Eagles to the past two big-school football state championships. Woodbury lost a tense quarterfinal to Hopkins last year but returns behind Renard Suggs (19.
The championship conversation begins and ends with DeLaSalle, which just might be the best team in Minnesota regardless of classification. The Islanders are the defending champions, and there is no indication they won't have a successful title defense. Junior Reid Travis is perhaps the most dominant post player in Minnesota, averaging 24.1 points and 8.7 rebounds a game. Teammate Luke Scott averages 13.9 points.
"DeLaSalle is the clear favorite," said Johnson coach Vern Simmons, whose team takes on Delano in the second quarterfinal. "But you know, everyone has a shot at this time of year."
The Governors just might be the team to pull off an upset.
Simmons says this Johnson team overcame early-season personnel losses when two players quit the team, but the Govs still managed to qualify for the state tournament for the seventh time in his 12 seasons as coach.
"This season was a challenge, but it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had as a coach," Simmons said. "The kids have risen to meet the challenge."
Johnson's tallest player is 6 feet 3. "We've had to play smarter. We don't have the talent we've had in the past," Simmons said. "It's not easy to compensate for that. To see the guys transform into hard-working kids is something I truly appreciate."
Minnehaha Academy earned the top seed on the strength of a 23-6 record against mostly larger schools. Two of the Redhawks' losses are to DeLaSalle during the Tri-Metro Conference season. Another loss is to Blake, another Class 3A tournament qualifier. Senior Kahari Carter, son of former University of Minnesota standout Randy Carter, averages 13.8 points a game. Teammate Marcellous Hazzard has been good for 12.2 points and 7.5 rebounds a game.
Litchfield (24-5), the No. 2 seed, is no stranger to state championships. The Dragons won titles in 2000, '02 and '03. Current Vikings tight end John Carlson was a standout on all three of those teams.
Lakeview Christian Academy (20-10) of Duluth is a dangerous No. 5 seed. Don't let the 10 losses fool you; the Lions took numerous trips to the Twin Cities to play top competition and toughen them up for this week. Senior Anders Broman, the most prolific scorer in Minnesota prep basketball history, averages 41.7 points a game and has scored more than 5,000 points in his career. He shoots an astonishing 58.1 percent from the field. But the South Dakota State recruit isn't a one-dimensional player. He also averages 10.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 5.1 steals per game. His brother, Bjorn, a sophomore, averages 21.1 points.
Maranatha Academy, a private school in Brooklyn Park, is 29-1 and the top seed in the small-school class. Isaiah Hanson leads the Mustangs, averaging 17.7 points and 7.1 rebounds.
-- Reggie Lynch of Edina averages six blocked shots a game.
-- Grand Rapids sophomore Alex Illikainen is one of Minnesota's most heavily recruited players. He is averaging 27 points and 15.2 rebounds.
-- Edina's Graham Woodward, the school's all-time leading scorer, has signed to play at Penn State.
-- Andover junior Connor Wilkie, who averages 18.8 points, also is a highly regarded quarterback.
-- Brainerd last won a basketball state championship in 1954.
-- Blake, Byron, Sartell-St. Stephen and Walker-Hackensack-Akeley are first-time qualifiers.
-- The Mountain Lake part of what is now a Mountain Lake/Butterfield-Odin co-op team competed in the state tournament 13 times, winning a championship in 1939.

Cleveland love: Cribbs, Haden and MGK
By Playbook Sounds
What's it like to be truly
? Locally grown rapper Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) hangs out with the Cleveland Browns' talented Joe Haden and Josh Cribbs (on his birthday) to talk about their dedication to the city -- including, in MGK's case, turning down a special opportunity with Manny Pacquiao to spend time in his hometown.
(And yeah, there might be a little anti-LeBron James sentiment thrown in.)

Kelsey and Camille Grammer Finalize Their Divorce
And that's a wrap.
As expected, Kelsey and Camille Grammer's divorce was finalized in L.A. County Superior Court on Thursday. TMZ reports that a judge signed the divorce decree for the former couple, who were married for 13 years and share two kids: daughter Mason, 9, and son Jude, 6.
PHOTOS: Most shocking Hollywood splits
The stage is now set for former Frasier star Kelsey, 55, to wed for the fifth time; even as his divorce plans were up in the air, the actor had announced plans to marry British flight attendant Kayte Walsh, 29, in February. (The New York Post reported that the new couple already booked a hall at NYC's swanky Plaza Hotel and sent out invites.)
PHOTOS: Biggest Housewives bombshells
Financial details between the mulitimillionaire pair -- there was no prenup -- will reportedly be dealt with at a later date.
Kelsey split from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille, 42, in July -- and immediately stepped out with Walsh, whom he met while performing in Broadway show La Cage Aux Folles in NYC.
A lightning rod on the Bravo hit, Camille famously butted heads with fellow housewife Kyle Richards -- but gained major fan sympathy for the sad, startling end of her marriage.
VIDEO: See Camille break down over Kelsey's affair
In the show's season one finale, Camille broke down in tears telling BFF D.D. about discovering Kelsey's other woman while visiting him in NYC.
Upon arriving at the family's NYC apartment, she was stopped by the doorman. "I'm Mrs. Grammer," she protested. "You're not Mrs. Grammer," responded the confused doorman, who was used to seeing frequent visitor Walsh.
PHOTOS: Hellish housewives romances
Former Playboy model Camille has frequently said she was reluctant to sign on to the reality show -- but her then-husband urged her to. "Looking back, maybe he wanted to keep me preoccupied in California while he was off having his affair in New York," she sniped to the New York Post.

Before They Were Stars...They Were Funny Looking Kids
Can you guess the identities of these future celebs? My fave is the young gal in the bottom row. She grew up to become a very generous Goodwill Ambassador later on in life, and is also known for an even more generous smile. There has been ongoing speculation concerning her (hush-hush) brush with collagen as an adult, but she seems genetically blessed in this early picture with a nice pucker. Who is she? My lips are sealed. Giggle Girls, give it a guess!

Suicide Deaths Spike Among Middle-Aged Americans
Any ideas, disinfonauts?
Any ideas, disinfonauts?
You might very well think that, but I couldn't possibly comment. BBC News' North America editor Mark Mardell has some interesting thoughts, however:
It is eerie to walk so close to a weapon of mass destruction.
The B-52 bomber is one of the ultimate expressions of American power. If the president decides to drop a nuclear bomb, this is the sort of aircraft that would do it.
I am careful not to step over the red line around the plane. A sign painted on the ground warns lethal force can be used against those who cross it without authorisation.
I've come to Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, filming for the new BBC One programme The Editors.
… Read the rest
The programme aims to get the BBC's on-air editors to explore – and hopefully answer – a big question. My chosen subject is the decline of American power.
There's little evidence of it at the base, where the sign above the gate reads: "Only the best come North".
Monday's just around the corner, and with it the godforsaken shriek of the alarm clock. Oh, but to have five minutes more sleep… Well, how much is it worth to you?

STV Glasgow reports on untraceable blue and yellow orbs as new hazard of air travel:
… Read the rest
A passenger plane was involved in a near miss an unidentified flying object, two pilots have reported. The blue and yellow UFO came within 300ft of the Airbus 320 on December 2 as the plane approached Glasgow Airport.
The UK Airprox Board – which investigates near misses in the skies – heard the incident had taken place at around 3500ft. Both pilots on the flight reported seeing the UFO "loom ahead".
The board heard the object appeared blue and yellow or silver in colour with a small frontal area but that it was "bigger than a balloon".
The board said: ""Investigation of the available surveillance sources was unable to trace any activity matching that described by the A320 pilot. Additionally there was no other information to indicate the presence or otherwise of activity in the area.
An Israeli plane bombs a target in Syria. The news is passed along first to Fox News, (huh?) by someone in the Administration.. It happened on a Thursday, but we find out about it late on Friday. The New York Times assigns three reporter to cover the story that goes up on the website in the middle of the morning on Saturday.
Earlier that day, President Obama, speaking in Costa Rica, said there will be no US ground troops on the ground in Syria. Now, the Administration says it is considering "military options."
Saturday's New York Times choses this story for the first page:
And so, the story is reframed with Israel the defender, not the aggressor. The bombing makes it into the third paragraph on page 1 but refers only to the bombing of "a target."
The earlier story has now ben moved by the Times to the bottom of page 10:
"ISRAEL BOMBS SYRIA as the UNS Considers Its Own Military Options."
"American officials did not provide details on the target but, instead, referenced an earlier attack attacking a Syrian military supply effort to Hezbollah."
Unmentioned is that the original report understated the extent of the damage caused by the bombing.… Read the rest
Barack Obama won acclaim from civil libertarians in 2008 when he pledged to close Guantanamo Bay. Five years later, the prison camp remains open, costing taxpayers $900,000 per-prisoner, per-year.
Rand Paul scored similar praise this year when he challenged Attorney-General Eric Holder on the domestic use of armed drones. Now, the Kentucky senator may be doing a bit of back-peddling himself. In an apparent move to position himself for a 2016 presidential bid, Paul has softened his position on the use of drones over U.S. cities, controversially indicating he'd be okay with drone-fired Hellfire missiles being used to stop convenience store hold-ups, according to Politico. The son of Ron Paul was swept into the Senate with support from civil libertarians of the right-leaning variety but now wants to unshackle himself from that "vocal group" of tantrum-prone "contrarians."

Is cannibalism the seed from which the United States sprang? Historical accounts have long hinted that the settlers at Jamestown, the first English colony in America, survived the harsh winter by feasting on the dead. Via CNN, researchers now have physical evidence in the form of bodily remains:
… Read the rest
The winter of 1609 to 1610 was treacherous for early American settlers. Some 240 of the 300 colonists at Jamestown, in Virginia, died during this period, called the "Starving Time." Desperate times led to desperate measures. New evidence suggests that includes eating the flesh of fellow colonists.
Archaeologists revealed Wednesday their analysis of 17th century skeletal remains suggesting that settlers practiced cannibalism to survive. Researchers unearthed an incomplete human skull and tibia in 2012 that contain several features suggesting that this particular person had been cannibalized. The remains come from a 14-year-old girl of English origin, whom historians are calling "Jane."
There are about half a dozen accounts that mention cannibalistic behaviors at that time.

I can't remember where I saw what inspired me, but I have always wanted to have a black silk velvet dressing gown, with white silk charmeuse lining & cuffs. A good second best, (and this I do remember), is a velvet crazy quilt kimono dressing gown (which I saw on "Married to the Mob", on Michelle Pfeiffer). Total luxury, totally unpractical.

I love, love, love elaborate Victorian and Civil War era gowns, but sewing one ... I don't see it happening
I already sewed my other big "goal" garment, my wedding gown.
I've always wanted to sew a faux fur jacket similar to this $3,245 Armani Pieced Rabbit Jacket. My version would be made of faux fur, not rabbit. I already have more than enough fabric -- Donna Salyer's faux sable, bought for a bargain price on ebay.
I also have my pattern -- a Frankenpattern cobbled together from several fur jackets -- as well as my first muslin, which I sewed last winter. The jacket would be several inches shorter, ending at the hip instead of mid thigh. I would run the fur verically, rather than horizontally, for a more slimming look. But the basic style is quite close to the one on the Neiman Marcus website.
I'd like to start this jacket in the fall. Faux fur is such a pain to work with. But it would be such fun to have a jacket like this -- even if I never actually wear it.

I am a big fan of Tudor history and have a wonderful book called "The Tudor Tailor." I have often fantasized about making myself or one of my daughters a historically accurate garment from one of the patterns. I'm not a 'Ren-faire' kind of gal though, so would have no occasion to wear it.
A suede jacket, or two. One in teal, maybe, and maybe one in plum.
I've been thinking about trying suede.
I want to make a historically accurate costume. The only time I would wear it would be to work on Halloween so it will probably never happen.

hi robmorfin it's not a bad composition ! i think that u should add some shades in the first plane so that u can create the sensation of deepness and space ! The yellow light or what it is we are seeing on the window is two yellow ( the color it's too strong ) and we can't find it anywhere else in the image ( u must keep u'r image balanced from every point of view ) ! u lack some contrast and the perspective it's inverted at the chest or on the bench i'm not sure what it is ! keep it up and have fun !

Thanks for the observations, much appreciated.
Your sketchbook is very nice by the way, I am going to start adding Architecture to my Enviros from now on, I was avoiding that until I had the basics more under control.
Your prismacolor and chartpak marker peices look really good. I really love your alien music store concept, that one stood out to me the most. I hope to see it in full texture and with a background, if you ever plan to finalize it!
your perspective is very good, but I dont see many rganic natural elements. your 3D work seems to be lacking some texture and background though, more details and natural weathering on the surfaces would make everything look better
Thanks a lot again.
This was an assignment for the Environmentoring class, the idea was to create thumbnails of a world that we wanted to see, I Got really carried away with the "Game Universe" that I want to see, so before the thumbs, I decided to plan and think through how the universe was going to be, what kind of planet, atmosphere, environments, culture, etc; Otherwise the thumbs would have been way too random (which maybe it would have been better, who knows, so here is the thinking behind the thumbs:
Two planets collided into each other, one being 3/4 the size of the other, this created ripples in the collapsed area, half of the new planet is water, the other half is land divided in two continents, there are to twin moons rotating around the smaller collapsed planet and there is one smaller moon rotating around the twin moons.
8 Kilometers of Oxygen (moons have their own atmosphere of oxygen, each one of 500 meters thick), there is a ring of sulfur gas around the bigger planet area, surrounding the diamater at 1 km from the surface, it is 500 meters wide by 250 m thick.
All energy is created by the absorption of sulfur from the atmosphere's ring by Vacuum Power Plants, there are four of them, Energy Structures and Terminals installed all around the planet supply free energy for all, anybody that tries to monopolize, sell or sabotage this system receives the death penalty; The ring's sulfur regenerates itself, keeping the same sulfur volume always.
Stable Core, no eartquakes, no tornados, storms are very predictable by the weather man, they are always stopped by flying vehicles that surround the storm and fly in the opposite direction of it, while vacuuming it up to a stop point; Tide change is very considerable, 25 meters difference every 32 hours; A day consists of 64 hrs., moons rotate around the planet every 8 hours, the planet rotates around its star (year) every 48 days (time flies); Gravity is equal to 4.86m/s2 (50% the Gravity of Earth); Waves from 6' to 42' break in a spiral breaking mode; Temperature ranges from -40dC to 90dC; Sea Water is drinkable.
One Master God, he can be seen but he is inmaterial, can't be touched or replaced, he names the other Gods and replaces them as will he has a palace in one of the twin moons, there are 5 more Gods (2 men and 3 women), they are human and can be replaced through death each one has its own palace and its own city.
Everyone flies after they are born, they have only human strength.
There are no animals.
Jungle Vegetation in both continents, planted as food farms of different types, random growth in the mountains.
-Defense Towers,
-Main Temple,
-Healing Buildings,
-Vacuum Power Plants,
-Energy Terminals,
-Food Farms,
-Water Plants,
-Energy shield transformers,

Well, as I said, Carried Awaay.
Isometric I've worked on last few days.
some colors added
I really like them all.
That last isometric view you posted is quite nice as well.
The only thing i notice is that the perspective on the spire of the lower bridge seems to be bent and is quite distracting.

ABSTRACT: A new indole-based fluorescent chemosensor 1 was prepared and its metal ion sensing properties were investigated. It exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity toward Hg 2+ among a series of metal ions in H 2O-EtOH (7:1, v/v). The association constant of the 1:1 complex formation for 1-Hg 2+ was calculated to be 9.57 × 10 3 M -1, and the detection limit for Hg 2+ was found to be 2.25 × 10 -5 M. Computational results revealed that 1 and Hg 2+ ion formed with a central tetrahedron-coordinated Hg 2+.Tetrahedron Letters 02/2012; 53(9):1169–1172.

ABSTRACT: We synthesized a simple fluorescent receptor 3 bearing two boronic acid groups as recognition sites. The recognition behaviour of receptor 3 towards various anions was evaluated in THF/H(2)O (1:1, v/v) solution. Receptor 3 showed high selectivity for iodide among a series of anions. Fluorescence spectroscopy and computational calculations revealed that the electrostatic interaction played a crucial role in its high selectivity for iodide.The Analyst 12/2011; 137(3):571-4.

LSU's Justin Hamilton will enter his name for the NBA Draft.
BATON ROUGE - The one-and-done syndrome of college basketball is not just a Kentucky issue. It has hit LSU in a way.
Junior star center Justin Hamilton, who led LSU with 12.9 points and 7.2 rebounds a game in the 2011-12 season along with 43 blocked shots, announced Thursday that he will enter the NBA Draft. Hamilton, a 6-foot-11 transfer from Iowa State, has been at LSU for two years as he had to sit out the 2010-11 season because of NCAA transfer rules. He previously played two seasons at Iowa State, but as far as LSU coach Trent Johnson is concerned, he had Hamilton for one season on the court.

San Diego Former Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado stood outside the downtown Central Jail on Monday as he called for the repeal of California's public safety realignment law, which shifted responsibility for housing and monitoring some lower-level criminals from the state to the counties.
Maldonado, a Republican from Santa Maria, said he has put together a committee to qualify an initiative for the November 2014 ballot to repeal the law.
The law, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, was intended to save the state money and help it comply with a court mandate to reduce prison overcrowding. It went into effect on Oct. 1, 2011.
Since then, local governments, including San Diego County, have struggled to deal with some of the changes, including a provision that allows offenders convicted of certain nonviolent and nonserious felony offenses to serve years in county jail instead of prison.
"These are not the facilities to be housing folks that have criminal backgrounds for long periods of time," Maldonado said.
Last week, Maldonado began traveling to California cities to announce plans for the ballot initiative, which has not been drafted. More information about the effort can be found at stopearlyrelease.com.
But officials tasked with implementing realignment have said repeatedly the law does not specifically allow for early release. Under the law, offenders who have completed their prison terms for nonserious or nonviolent crimes are now monitored in their respective communities by county probation officials or some other local entity, instead of state parole.
Authorities admit, however, that offenders are classified based on their most recent prison conviction, and that they may have committed a violent crime before that.

Toshiba Satellite L850 (PSKFWA-01R012) laptop
The Satellite L850 is a good all-rounder, but it's perhaps a little too expensive for what it is
- Core i7 CPU
- Discrete AMD Radeon graphics
- 1TB storage
- Very cramped palm rest
- Single-band Wi-Fi
- Screen's viewing angles
Bottom Line
What you get in the Toshiba Satellite L850 is a 15.6in laptop that can be used for a little bit of everything. It has a good CPU and discrete graphics, and it ships with plenty of internal storage space. However, its keyboard can feel cramped thanks to a very small left palm rest area and we also think that its asking price is a little too high compared to the competition.

Special Offers
Toshiba's Satellite L850 is a 15.6in laptop that's designed primarily for home use. It's the type of laptop you should consider if you want something that can allow you to do a little bit of everything, including play games.
The engine room features a third generation Intel Core i7 CPU and an AMD Radeon HD 7670 graphics card, so you can definitely get some great performance out of this laptop. However, for what it is, the L850's price point is perhaps a little on the high side. Compared to similar models on the Aussie market that offer the same amount of speed, it should be a couple of hundred dollars cheaper.
Features and performance
The Satellite L850 isn't the type of computer that you can easily take with you to and from the office or the classroom. At 2.4kg, with a 15.6in screen and a thick profile, it's best suited to those of you who want a portable, relatively powerful desktop replacement-style notebook for the home, something you can move from room to room. That said, if you can put up with the weight of the laptop and its large power supply in your backpack, then it can most definitely be taken on the road.
Along the edges of the chassis, you'll find a built-in DVD burner, three USB ports (two of them being USB 3.0), a VGA port, an HDMI port, a Gigabit Ethernet port and an SD card slot. The SD card slot is located under the front-right lip of the unit and can be hard to use unless you lift the notebook up off the desk a little. Cards don't go all the way in either and stick out from the chassis. Annoyingly, every time an SD card or a USB storage device is plugged in to this laptop, the pre-installed Clickfree backup software is invoked. You'll need to uninstall this if you have no intention of using it or it will drive you crazy. There's plenty of other pre-installed software that you might want to assess the future of, too.
It's a well-built laptop with plenty of space inside its chassis for the CPU and the discrete graphics adapter. It doesn't get too warm when it's under a full load for a while, and we didn't find its fan irritating. There is a large vent on the right side for warm air to escape and the laptop sits on noticeable rubber stands that allow the vents at the bottom of the laptop to breathe, too. It needs to be a well ventilated machine considering that it ships with an Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU, a discrete AMD Radeon HD 7670M graphics adapter and a 1TB hard drive. It also has 4GB of RAM installed, with a spare slot free for expansion.
We had no issues with the Satellite L850's performance during our tests. Regular desktop performance and Modern UI apps downloaded from the Microsoft Windows store ran perfectly well. In our Blender 3D rendering test, the 2.4GHz CPU and its eight threads (four cores plus Hyper-Threading) returned a time of 19sec, which is excellent. Our iTunes MP3 encoding test was also completed in a competitive 53sec, while our AutoGordianKnot DVD-to-Xvid test completed in 38min. The CPU also showed off its strength nicely in our Arcsoft MediaConverter 8 test, taking just 7min 29sec to convert a DVD file to an MKV file.
Gaming with this laptop is possible thanks to its Radeon HD 7670M graphics adapter. You'll be able to run many modern games quite well as long as you don't mind running at low graphics settings and at a low resolution. Games downloaded through the Windows store and played through the Modern UI should also run quite well on this machine. We tried Riptide GP and Adera Episode 1, and both ran flawlessly. In 3DMark06, the L850 recorded a score of 9223, which reinforces the fact that it can be a decent gaming laptop if you are on a budget.
Storage is handled by a Toshiba hard drive (MQ01ABD100) with a capacity of 1TB and a spin speed of 5400rpm. It isn't the quickest drive in town. This was shown in our file duplication tests, where it recorded a relatively low 32.61 megabytes per second (MBps). In CrystalDiskMark, it put up a read time of 114MBps and a write time of 110MBps. Unlike many new laptops however, it doesn't have a solid state drive installed to boost the laptop's boot time. That said, boot time was still a zippy 15sec in our tests, this being the time it took for the laptop to cold boot to the Windows login screen. It was able to resume from sleep within 3sec.
Battery life
The L850's battery sits along the spine of the chassis and it's removable. It has a rating of 48 Watt-hours and it provides a life that is not too bad considering the notebook's class. In our rundown tests, in which we disable power management, enable Wi-Fi (there is a single-band, 802.11n module from Realtek in this unit), maximise screen brightness and loop an Xvid-encoded video, the L850 lasted only 2hr 37min. Laptops that we've seen with similar configurations, such as the old Medion Akoya MD 98068, for example, lasted a little closer to three hours in the same test. That said, if you employ a proper power management plan, a low screen brightness, and if you only use the laptop for tasks that are not CPU intensive, you'll get a good deal more out of it.
In terms of style, the L850 comes in a dark grey with some glossy black bits around the screen and keyboard tray. It's not an unattractive laptop by any means. It also doesn't have any extra buttons along the top of the keyboard. All you get above the keyboard are the speaker grilles, which blend in with the overall style of the unit, and the power button. In a nod to convenience, the function keys have been reversed so that the brightness, volume and media player controls are the primary functions. You don't have to press the Fn key in order to change those settings, but this can be reversed in the BIOS if you like to do things the conventional way.
However, we're not fans of the overall layout of the keyboard. Toshiba has packed in a number pad on the right side of the keyboard, which means that the keyboard itself sits a little the left of centre. As a consequence, the touchpad sits centred under the space bar, meaning that it is also positioned greatly to the left. The end result is a palm rest area that is very cramped for your left hand and it can make typing feel very awkward, especially if you have big hands. We would have liked Toshiba to either forgo the number pad on this model and make the keyboard feel more luxurious, or for the touchpad to have been installed a little more towards the centre of the unit rather than so far to the left.
The keyboard itself isn't too bad though. The keys have adequate travel and responsiveness and we didn't make too many errors while using it — which is always a good sign. But again, the fact that the left palm rest is so small (83x88mm) made it tiring to type on this model for long periods of time. We should also point out that it's not a backlit keyboard; you'll have to leave a light on if you want to work on this computer at night.
The touchpad is a large 91x56mm and it has dedicated left and right buttons. It's a Synaptics pad that performed smoothly and accurately for us in our tests. It supports multiple-finger gestures such as three-finger swipes, and it also supports edge swipes that allow you to easily access Windows 8's Charms, Switcher and program settings. However, the touchpad isn't flush with the palm rest. Instead, it is slightly depressed in the palm rest and has an 8mm border around it. It can feel a little awkward to make the swipe in gestures because of this.
Even though this laptop runs Windows 8, it doesn't have a touchscreen. It's equipped with a regular LCD panel that's passable for most tasks, but it isn't great. The viewing angles are narrow (especially vertically), colours can look a little washed out, and reflections can be a problem off the glossy finish. The native resolution is 1366x768, which is nothing unusual for a mainstream laptop at this price point.
With Windows 8 running the show and a strong configuration under the hood, the Satellite L850 feels quite zippy for everyday work. It's a good unit to consider if you want something that can be used for productivity as well as fun tasks. It will run many games quite well and can be used to run the likes of Battlefield 3 comfortably, although at low graphics and resolution levels. However, we can't help but feel that the price point is just a little too high. A few competing laptops with very similar configurations, such as the 15in Dell Inspiron 15R, can be had for a couple of hundred dollars cheaper if you shop around.
If you need help using the new Windows 8 interface on a laptop such as this one, be sure to check out our Beginner's Guide to Windows 8. We show you how to use the Start screen and all of the other features that the new operating system offers.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.
1Lord, my heart isn't proud.
My eyes aren't proud either.
I don't concern myself with important matters.
I don't concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me.
2I have made myself calm and content
like a young child in its mother's arms.
Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child.
3Israel , put your hope in the Lord
both now and forever.

Forget Oktoberfest, October is Women's Small Business Month
This is a guest article by Shannon Suetos of ResourceNation. For The NextWomen she describes a variety of tools how to plan your business, including peer-to-peer lending, business plan writing and bootstrapping your company.
October marks the beginning of fall, Halloween, Oktoberfest and a little known fact that it is women's small business month. According to the Center of Women's Business Research, there are in the US, "10.1 million firms owned by women, and generate $1.1 trillion in sales." More and more women are being recognized for their great accomplishments, and women in tech are finally getting their dues.
Within the last 5 years or so, women have started getting more recognition in the male dominated tech world. A quick search on Google and you can find lists of women in web design and the most influential women in technology.
Carla Thompson, an emerging technology analyst and the CEO and Founder of Sharp Skirts, wrote a guest post on Mashable and states the following:
- Women-owned or led firms are the fastest growing sector of new venture creation, representing nearly 50% of all privately held businesses.
- Women-owned businesses are more likely to survive the transition from startup to established company.
- The number of U.S. software patents held by women has increased 45-fold since 1985; three times the national average.
- Women currently make up more than 30% of the technology workforce, but receive less than 10% of venture funding.
So now we know who some of the women in technology are, and that they are extremely successful—but how did they do it? Of course had work and determination, but they also had to have a plan—and so should you.
Funding your company: Peer-to-peer lending
If you are going to start up a company, you need to research not only your competition and key demographic, but also how you will get funded.
Financing?Banks might not be lending, but that doesn't have to stop you. There are plenty of other ways to get the financial backing you need to get started. One great alternative is peer-to-peer lending (P2P lending).
The idea is simple—one person needs capital and the other is looking to invest. Think match.com, but instead of finding your soul mate you're finding your perfect investor. Prosper, LendingClub and Peer-Lend are just a few sites to look into.
Obviously thinking outside of the box is going to be necessary if you are going to be an entrepreneur. LendingTree is another great source because it puts banks in a competitive environment, and can be another great option for attaining capital.
Bootstrapping your company
Elizabeth Charnock, the chief executive and founder of Cataphora, bootstrapped a 60-employee firm that makes software used to track and analyze computer users' online activity and communications, reports The New York Times. Charnock goes on to say, "here in Silicon Valley, everyone assumes that larger start-ups are venture-backed and swimming in money… Even very smart, senior people have been known to ask me, "When do you run out of money?" I then have to explain that real businesses don't run out of money. They go make more."
Bootstrapping is a viable option, but remember you could go a year or more (a year and a half in Charnock's case) without receiving a paycheck. So make sure you have other income or enough savings to get by at home before going this route.
Business Plan? Tools
If you are going to go the VC route, you need to have a great business plan in place. If you don't know how to write a business plan you have two options—research how to do it, or outsource. Investing time and money into your business plan should pay off. Bplans.com, the SBA and PlanWare all provide business plan templates and offer assistance on research. These are good places to start, but make sure you don't rely just on the templates themselves. Do the work and find the data you need to get the attention of investors. Templates can range anywhere from $10 a template to $200 for template software.
You can also have someone write the entire business plan for you. Business plan writers can be found on websites such as USBusinessPlan, Ethos360 and MasterPlans. Depending on the size of the company you are starting, you can hire a business plan writer for $200-$5000.
There are many steps to starting a business, and writing a business plan and finding capital are two great places to start. Take the lead from all the other women who have gone before you and tell yourself you can do it.
October might be women's small business month, but you can be successful in any month.

November 29, 2015
BAGHDAD (AP) -- An Iraqi government spokesman says the U.S. should offer new amendments to a draft security agreement that would keep American troops in Iraqi until 2012.
The spokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh, said Monday changes proposed by the U.S. were "not enough" and asked Washington to offer more if it wants the pact to win parliamentary approval.
The two sides have gone back and forth over the pact, but the Bush administration said its offer last week was final.
But al-Dabbagh said that wouldn't be enough for the Iraqi government.
"There are still some points in which we have not reached a bilateral understanding," he told The Associated Press.
Al-Dabbagh said the government wanted "answers that are suitable to the Iraqis."

MSO Pops delivers a Gershwin treat
Style, elegance, foot-tapping rhythms and soaring melodies filled Uihlein Hall on Friday evening, thanks to a particularly fine Milwaukee Symphony Pops concert.
The orchestra, under the baton of guest conductor Jeff Tyzik, presented an evening of George Gershwin. It avoided the most often heard of Gershwin's pieces, in favor of lesser-known works, capping the evening with concert excerpts from his quintessentially American opera, "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article

not too sure
by dave , 01/24/2012
I called this business to sell my old car, but not only were they not the company towing but not the ones buying either. They may be a service that networks with actual businesses, but it all felt sketchy. Also, on the website they promise you a minimum of 420, my quote was over this amount, but I was forced to renegotiate on the spot for under 420.

Hah! Hah! I can honestly say that I am proud of this piece. I took my time, I didn't rush it, and I believe that work shows all of this. 3 years I drew a similar piece, but it was nothing be proud of. With this one however, I will happily hang up on the fridge . But seriously though, I love this thing!
If anyone is even remotely interested in what I used for this, here's the list:
Prismacolor Premier Art Marker with Dual brush and fine tips
Micron Inking Pens

I love this product and have recommended it to a friend. Now she AND her husband use it and report back they feel much better! As for me,I don't know what I did without it; I am not tired all the time, my mind is clearer!

This is an all-purpose supplement. It is strong enough for topical antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-viral use. This is the only iodine/iodide I've found (without an Rx) to be strong enough for antiseptic use... the over the counter ones at the pharmacy are toxic and should be avoided!
Iodine for the skin

Posted by Jasmine44 on Jun 23, 2011
I bought this to use on a sebaceous cyst on my face. A dermatologist indicated that removal so close to my eye would likely require 2 procedures even though it is relatively small.I read an article indicating that iodine would disperse the cyst in a matter of weeks. In a little over a week it is noticeably smaller.

I have read that iodine can get rid of cysts and skin lesions when applied to the areas. I had a small skin cyst on my inner thigh. I applied iosol every day for a few weeks and thought nothing was happening. One morning I went to apply it and the cyst had completely disappeared! I was quite pleased, and now I will try it on some sun spots

this is good to paint on, an inch square to see if the body will absorb it, which it does when you are low on iodine.It is better than the tincture, which can cause irritations in sensitive people.

text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 56920613 LA English T1 Passionate spirituality : Hildegard of Bingen and Hadewijch of Brabant A1 Dreyer, Elizabeth,, YR 2005 SN 0809143046 9780809143047 AB "Passionate Spirituality explores the roots and meanings of passion in Western culture, and then examines how passion is expressed in the works of two medieval women mystics - Hildegard of Bingen and Hadewijch of Brabant - and in the lives of contemporary Christians seeking to deepen their own spiritual journeys. Too often, the term "passion' is associated only with steamy films, sexual, sin, and emotional excess - cutting off the breadth of its meaning and expression for positive good. But the great mystics succeed precisely because they hold together both the affective and the intellectual aspects of the spiritual life in creative and convincing ways. Their accounts of their mystical experience are important resources for information and understanding about how to talk about God more formally, and for what it means to be passionately in love with God and the world."--Jacket.
