GiveWell is an American non-profit charity evaluator and effective altruism-focused organization.[5][6] Unlike any other charity evaluators, GiveWell focuses primarily on the cost-effectiveness of the organizations that it evaluates, rather than traditional metrics such as the percentage of the organization's budget that is spent on overhead.[6][7] GiveWell recommends several charities per year. In 2015, its top recommendations were the Against Malaria Foundation, GiveDirectly, the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, and the Deworm the World Initiative.

Principles for selecting charities[edit]
Focus on developing world charities[edit]
Though GiveWell does not explicitly focus on recommending international charities, most of its top recommendations have been for organizations that work in the developing world. GiveWell argues that the best charities working in the developing world are far more cost-effective than the best charities in the developed world.[8] However, GiveWell has previously recommended some charities in the US, including KIPP (Houston branch)[9] and Nurse-Family Partnership.[10]
Room for more funding[edit]
One of the key ways that GiveWell seeks to distinguish itself from other charity evaluators is through its focus on scalability, which it calls "room for more funding" — how much additional funding the charity can use, the activities that additional funding will be used for, and how well the effect of current funding can be extrapolated for additional funding. GiveWell has published a guide on room for more funding[11] and has a number of blog posts on the topic.[12]
Heuristics to identify outstanding charities[edit]
Unlike other charity evaluators such as Charity Navigator, GuideStar, Philanthropedia and Great Nonprofits, GiveWell is not focused on rating large numbers of charities.[5] Rather, GiveWell focuses on identifying outstanding charities that are proven, cost-effective, scalable, and transparent. It performs detailed reviews only for those charities that, based on its preliminary investigations, hold clear promise of being outstanding.[5] Its 2011 international aid process review explains, "Our focus is on finding outstanding charities rather than completing an in-depth investigation for each organization we consider. For that reason, we rely on heuristics, or meaningful shortcuts, to distinguish between organizations and identify ones that we think will ultimately qualify for our recommendations."[13]
Evidence of impact[edit]
GiveWell believes that the burden of proof for establishing success should fall on the charity. For this reason, when charities do not clearly disclose information or provide evidence that their programs are having the desired positive impact, GiveWell does not assume that the charity is effective. Charities that do not provide data indicating positive impact rarely receive a full review from GiveWell.[14]
Overhead spending[edit]
Though some charity evaluators give negative ratings to charities that spend a large fraction of their budgets on administrative expenses and fundraising,[15] GiveWell does not consider this a good metric for evaluation, because it argues that overhead spending can make an organization more effective in accomplishing its goals.[16]
Evaluation process[edit]
Identifying candidate charities[edit]
GiveWell uses a number of sources to identify candidate charities for further investigation and rating.[13] It accepts candidates for evaluation from charities, donors, and others. In addition, GiveWell considers organizations that receive grants from impact-focused foundations and grantmaking bodies such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Children's Investment Fund Foundation, Mulago Foundation, Skoll Foundation, Jasmine Social Investments, and Peery Foundation. It considers charities that are participating jointly with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab and Innovations for Poverty Action in the evaluation of their programs. GiveWell also considers domain-specific charity lists, winners of various awards, and lists of charities highlighted by other charity evaluators and donor groups.[13]
To be eligible for evaluation from GiveWell, charities must perform a program that GiveWell believes has strong evidence of success (such as salt iodization) or must perform rigorous evaluations of its impact.[17]
Investigating and rating charities[edit]
There are several ways in which GiveWell seeks evidence of cost-effectiveness and positive impact for charities. GiveWell has conversations with charity staff members and experts in relevant fields. Notes from these conversations are posted on its website.[18]
Since 2011, GiveWell staff have been performing site visits[19] for all potential top-rated charities and posting, where possible, audio and photographs of their visits.
GiveWell also uses external sources to evaluate philanthropic interventions (for example, microfinance). These include:
- The Cochrane Collaboration
- Innovations for Poverty Action
- Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab
- Millions Saved: Proven Successes in Global Health
- The Disease Control Priorities Project
- Copenhagen Consensus
GiveWell regularly publishes updates on the activities of all current and past top-rated charities.[20]
Top-rated charities[edit]
GiveWell provides detailed reviews of each of its top-rated charities as well as other standout charities. It also lists reasons for rejecting other charities.[21] GiveWell's top recommended charities at end-of-year are given in the table below. The official list is typically released in the last week of November.
|Top-recommended charities at end of year
|2015[22][23] (official list released November 20, 2015)
|Top charities: Against Malaria Foundation, Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, Deworm the World Initiative, and GiveDirectly.
Standout charities: Development Media International, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition's Universal Salt Iodization Program, Iodine Global Network (formerly International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders), Living Goods.
GiveWell recommended that Good Ventures make end-of-year grants to AMF ($22.8 million), DtWI ($10.8 million), GiveDirectly ($9.8 million; this was separate from the three-year $25 million grant made in August), and SCI ($1 million), plus $250,000 each to each of the standout charities. Their recommendation to donors was to give money at the current margin to AMF, but they provided a more detailed comparison to address donors who had other goals.
|2014[24][25] (Official list released December 1, 2014)
|Top charities: Against Malaria Foundation, Deworm the World Initiative, GiveDirectly, Schistosomiasis Control Initiative.
Standout charities: Development Media International, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition's Universal Salt Iodization Program, International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, Living Goods.
Good Ventures made grants of $5 million each to GiveDirectly and AMF, $3 million to SCI, and $250,000 to Deworm the World Initiative and to each of the standout charities.
Taking into account the money already allocated by Good Ventures, GiveWell's recommended optimal giving allocation was: $5 to AMF (67%), $1 to SCI (13%), $1 to GiveDirectly (13%) and $.50 to DtWI (7%) for every $7.50 given.
|2013[26][27] (official list released December 1, 2013)
|Top charities: GiveDirectly ($2.5M target), Schistosomiasis Control Initiative ($1M target), Deworm the World Initiative ($2M target). GiveWell did not provide numerical rankings in 2013. Instead it set minimum targets of the amounts it would like to see each charity raise, and recommended that donors fund each charity to the minimum target before donating in excess of the targets.[26] On December 20, 2013, GiveWell published another blog post stating that for donors who "have a high degree of trust/alignment" with GiveWell, they recommended donating to GiveWell itself, until GiveWell was able to raise $850,000 in additional revenue.[28]
|2012[29][30] (official list released November 26, 2012)
|Against Malaria Foundation (#1), GiveDirectly (#2), Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (#3). GiveWell recommended a donation ratio of 7:2:1 to these three charities. GiveWell also published additional blog posts explaining how it ranked its top charities.[31][32] Against Malaria Foundation was removed from the list of top-rated charities on November 26, 2013 due to issues related to room for more funding.[33]
|2011[34][35][36] (official list released November 29, 2011)
|Top charities: Against Malaria Foundation (#1) and Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (#2). GiveWell also identified six standout organizations: GiveDirectly, Innovations for Poverty Action, KIPP (Houston branch), Nyaya Health, Pratham, and Small Enterprise Foundation. GiveWell discontinued identification of standout organizations the next year (2012).
|VillageReach was the top recommended charity, and one of only two getting a Gold rating. The other top-rated overall charities were Stop TB Partnership (#2), Against Malaria Foundation (#3), Small Enterprise Foundation (#4), Village Enterprise (#5), and Chamroeun (#6) -- all of these were given a Silver rating. The top-rated recommended United States charities were KIPP and Nurse-Family Partnership, both getting Gold ratings. In late November 2011 (the next year), GiveWell indicated that it believed that both VillageReach and the Nurse-Family Partnership are still outstanding but have limited room for more funding; hence, it did not advise donors to give to them.
|VillageReach was the top-rated charity. Other top charities were the Stop TB Partnership (#2), Nurse-Family Partnership (#3), KIPP (#4), Against Malaria Foundation (#5), Population Services International (#6), Partners in Health (#7), the Global Fund (#8), Teach for America (#9), and Pratham (#10).
|The top charities in "International aid" were Population Services International and Partners in Health. Top charities in the US included KIPP, the Nurse-Family Partnership, and the HOPE program for employment assistance in New York City.
2015 funding gaps for top charities[edit]
In its blog post announcing its 2015 top charities, GiveWell estimated funding gaps for each of its top charities.[23] These funding gaps (in millions of US dollars) are below. Funding gaps already take into account the funds recommended for Good Ventures to donate. The funding gaps up to a later execution level are cumulative, i.e., they include the funding gaps up to earlier execution levels.
|Funding by Good Ventures
|Funding gap up to Execution Level 1
|Funding gap up to Execution Level 2
|Funding gap up to Execution Level 3
|Against Malaria Foundation
|Schistosomiasis Control Initiative
|Deworm the World Initiative
Guidelines for donations[edit]
GiveWell provides recommendations on charitable giving [40] and suggestions for individuals on how to do research and what questions to ask when evaluating charities.[41]
Criticisms of charities[edit]
GiveWell generally does not focus on providing negative feedback to charities. However, GiveWell has sometimes criticized popular charities, including Kiva, Grameen Foundation, Heifer International, Smile Train, UNICEF, Acumen Fund, the Robin Hood Foundation, the Millennium Villages Project, the Worldwide Fistula Fund, and the Carter Center.[42]
GiveWell has not listed any disaster relief charities as top recommendations and has made general arguments against donating to disaster relief.[43] However, GiveWell publishes analyses of disaster relief efforts and recommendations within the disaster relief category after major disasters, including the 2010 Haiti earthquake,[44] the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami,[45] and the East Africa/Somalia famine.[46] In addition, GiveWell has a blog category devoted to disaster relief.[47] Among the charities that GiveWell has recommended in the context of disaster relief are Doctors without Borders, Partners in Health, and Direct Relief.
The Open Philanthropy Project[edit]
Shallow overviews[edit]
As part of its work related to the Open Philanthropy Project (formerly GiveWell Labs), GiveWell publishes shallow overviews of general causes.[48] These are distinct from its charity recommendations and reviews. The first shallow overview appears to have been published in April 2013.[49] but GiveWell appears to have first officially announced shallow overviews in a blog post in May 2013.[50] As of September 2013, shallow investigations have been conducted in the areas of anthropogenic climate change, detection of near-Earth asteroids, migration (intra-country and international), volcanoes, geoengineering, nuclear security, business environment, infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa, and the treatment of animals in industrial agriculture.[48] GiveWell co-executive director Holden Karnofsky discussed more about the purpose of shallow overviews in a conversation with Giving What We Can representatives and other effective altruists.[51]
Grants made as part of GiveWell Labs (the Open Philanthropy Project)[edit]
Some of the grants made by Good Ventures were made as a result of work done on GiveWell Labs.
|Date of announcement
|September 27, 2012
|U.S. Cochrane Center, part of the Cochrane Collaboration
|GiveWell announced its first "Quick Grant" recommendation: it recommended that partner organization Good Ventures make a grant of $100,000 to the U.S. Cochrane Center, part of the Cochrane Collaboration. The idea behind "Quick Grants" was that GiveWell could recommend to specific large donors to quickly grant a sum of money to an organization that was in urgent need of funds, even though GiveWell had not had time to investigate the organization thoroughly enough to put it in GiveWell's list of recommended charities.[52][53]
|May 2013
|Center for Global Development for Millions Saved
|Recommended by GiveWell.[54]
|July 3, 2013
|Center for Global Development
|$100,000 each for three years to support operating expenses.[55]
|March 2014
|Center for Global Development to support the research of Michael Clemens
|The grant would be paid out over 3 years to the Center for Global Development to support research led by Senior Fellow Michael Clemens, on GiveWell's recommendation.[56][57]
|July 2014
|ImmigrationWorks Foundation, the 501(c)3 sister organization to ImmigrationWorks USA
|The recipient is a group that advocates for freer movement of low-skilled workers for employment to the United States.[58] The grant was recommended by charity evaluator GiveWell.[59]
Reception and impact[edit]
Money moved[edit]
Around February of every year, GiveWell publishes a complete self-evaluation in a series of blog posts. In addition, GiveWell publishes quarterly reports (in the form of blog posts) about its web traffic and money moved.[60] They also provide an updated summary of their money moved statistics on their Impact page.[61]
|Money moved in USD at current prices (not adjusted for inflation)

Money moved to top charities from donors excluding Good Ventures[edit]
The numbers are guesstimates since not all donations influenced by GiveWell's recommendations were correctly attributed to GiveWell. The table below is restricted to the four organizations that are currently top GiveWell recommendations, since they receive the bulk of the money donated; more details about other charities are in the referenced links.

Partnerships with philanthropies and use by other charity recommenders[edit]
In June 2012, GiveWell announced a close partnership with Good Ventures, a philanthropic organization with similar aims that was co-founded by Cari Tuna and Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz.[78]
In March 2010, GiveWell announced[79] a partnership with GuideStar through GiveWell's participation, along with Great Nonprofits and Philanthropedia, in the TakeAction@GuideStar program. This program allows donors to see detailed information from GiveWell, Great Nonprofits, or Philanthropedia, where available, when looking up a charity on GuideStar.
GiveWell does not have a formal relationship with charity evaluator Giving What We Can, but Giving What We Can does reference (and occasionally critique) GiveWell's reviews of the charities that it recommends.
The website The Life You Can Save, based on an eponymous book by Peter Singer, bases its recommendations of top-rated charities on the recommendations provided by GiveWell and Giving What We Can.
Reception of GiveWell's 2013 recommendations[edit]
On December 3, 2013, Good Ventures (an effective philanthropy organization that works in close collaboration with GiveWell) announced a grant of $2 million to GiveDirectly, so that only $500,000 of the minimum target specified by GiveWell for GiveDirectly was not yet raised. Good Ventures also announced that it would match up to $5 million in funds donated to GiveDirectly till January 31, 2014 (with a limit of matching $100,000 per individual donor), suggesting that the actual amount needed from individual donors to achieve GiveWell's minimum target would be $250,000 (assuming no very large donors).[70] GiveWell wrote a blog post responding to the Good Ventures announcement, stating that they had recommended the grant but not the donation matching.[72]
Effective giving advocacy group and charity evaluator Giving What We Can published a blog post on December 12, 2013, stating that they continued to recommend Against Malaria Foundation as their top charity, despite it no longer being recommended by GiveWell.[80]
Reception of GiveWell's 2012 recommendations[edit]
Charity evaluator and effective giving advocacy group Giving What We Can had multiple blog posts with critical analysis of GiveWell's 2012 recommendations.[81][82] GiveWell's recommendations were also critiqued on the 80000 Hours website[83] and elsewhere.[84] The Wonkblog, a blog of the Washington Post, also published a piece on GiveWell's recommendations.[85]
Media coverage[edit]
GiveWell has been covered by various news organizations including NPR,[86] CNBC,[87] CBS MoneyWatch,[88] Business Week,[89] and Forbes.[90] USA Today[91] and the Wall Street Journal[92] mentioned GiveWell as an organization that can help donors research and choose charities. In December 2012, the Wonkblog of The Washington Post published a detailed post reviewing GiveWell's end-of-year charity recommendations.[85] Dylan Matthews discussed the work of GiveWell and Good Ventures on the Open Philanthropy Project, in the broader context of the effective altruism movement, in an article for Vox.[5] The Huffington Post published an article about GiveWell's work discussing its relationship with the ideas of effective altruism popularized by Peter Singer, and also including an interview with GiveWell co-founder Elie Hassenfeld.[6]
GiveWell was founded in 2007 by two former Bridgewater Associates investment analysts, Holden Karnofsky and Elie Hassenfeld.[93][94][95] In 2008, GiveWell's initial funding was provided by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's Nonprofit Marketplace Initiative, the goal of which was to ensure that "by 2015, ten percent of individual philanthropic donations in the US (or $20 billion), would be influenced by meaningful, high-quality information about nonprofit organizations' performance."[96][97] The Hewlett Foundation continued to be a major funder of GiveWell for several years. In March 2014, the Hewlett Foundation announced that it was ending the Nonprofit Marketplace Initiative.[97] A GiveWell blog post in August 2014 offered GiveWell's thoughts on the ending of the initiative.[98]
In June 2012, GiveWell announced a close partnership with Good Ventures, and Good Ventures has been one of GiveWell's main funders since then.[78]
In September 2011, GiveWell announced the creation of GiveWell Labs, which was created in order to research and fund more diverse philanthropic causes.[99][100] In August 2014, GiveWell Labs was rebranded as the Open Philanthropy Project, to better reflect its mission as well as the fact that it was not solely a GiveWell project but rather a joint venture between GiveWell and Good Ventures.[101]
Astroturfing incident[edit]
In late 2007, GiveWell's founders promoted the organization on several internet blogs and forums, including MetaFilter, using astroturfing.[102]
GiveWell's board of directors investigated and found that an "inappropriate promotion"[103] had occurred involving the founders Karnofsky and Hassenfeld; as a result, both were fined $5000, and Karnofsky was relieved of his executive director role.[102][104] GiveWell issued a public apology[105] and, as part of its transparency policy,[106] included the incident on its website at a page called "Shortcomings" with the stated purpose: "This page logs mistakes we've made, strategies we should have planned and executed differently, and lessons we've learned."[107] Karnofsky was later reinstated as Board Secretary and Co-Executive Director.[4]

I think "I'm marrying my best friend" has become such a cliche that many brides say it without thinking twice about what they're saying. But hearing it kind of makes me cringe.
I mean, are you REALLY marrying your BEST friend?
I love my husband dearly. He's wonderful and supportive and kind and adorable. He's a fantastic father and he's the person who I chose to share my life with.
But calling him "my best friend" because chick flicks and Emily Giffin novels have told me he should be feels about as sincere as calling him "Prince Charming." Plus, I feel like it downplays how important my actual best friend is.
My best friend is the one who coached me over brunch back when "my husband" was just "that guy who BETTER call me."
My best friend is my sounding board when I want someone to listen to my problems without trying to fix them.
My best friend is the one who'll watch Jennifer Aniston movies without saying, "This is soooo lame," the whole time. (She also doesn't make me watch historical fiction when it's her turn to pick the movie.)
My best friend is the one who says, "Eh, those pants kind of give you a muffin top," while my husband—god bless him—will say every time, "You look beautiful!"
And my best friend is the one I whine to when my husband is driving me nuts. (Sorry, dear! It doesn't happen that often!)
I dunno. Maybe I'm missing out on something by not having ONE person who's the MOST important person in my world. But I think it's nice that when one of people who's most important to me is tied up at work or watching the game, I can call the other to go for a run or a mani-pedi.
Do you say, "I'm marrying my best friend"? Are you? REALLY?

There's never a shortage of blog posts to read, so how do you decide which ones are worth your time and which to ignore? I always try to read high quality, well thought out articles and tend to skip the blog posts that look hastily slapped together. Good graphics will go a long way towards […]Part 2: Redesigning the United Flight Search in Photoshop
The launch of my new course, Photoshop for Interface Design, is coming up in less than a week! Next Tuesday, February 25th, at 11:00 AM Eastern the course will open up to the public. The beta launch was very well received and I used the feedback to make the course considerably better. I've added four […]Redesigning the United Flight Search Interface in Photoshop
Flying out of Boise, Idaho you don't have a lot of options. There are only direct flights to a few cities and every itinerary has its downsides. Because of that I spend a lot of time using United's advanced flight search. I had two goals in redesigning this screen: To know how it […]Using Shapes & Paths in Photoshop
Last week I covered the tools to get started using Photoshop to design interfaces and this week I want to take it a bit further. Since my new course, Photoshop for Interface Design, is all video I figured these next tutorials should give you a sample. First, a bit about the course. This coming Tuesday […]How to use Photoshop to design interfaces
You care about designing good software. How do you do that? You can read books about user experience and design, but at some point you have to actually start designing the interface. More than just how the software or website functions and how you interact with it, but what it actually looks like. There are […]Reactions to iOS 7
Many designers have struggled to make the transition from iOS 6 to iOS 7. Even when they figure out how to design an app that works for iOS 7, it's hard to still make it unique. My friend and co-author of The App Design Handbook, Jeremy Olson, wrote this post when iOS 7 was announced […]Case Study: Redesigning Commit for iOS 7
To get your own copy of Commit for $2.99 on the App Store. A few years ago I designed an iPhone app called Commit. This little app has made me more money (indirectly) than just about anything else I've done. It's not the app sales (those have totaled about $10k in two years), but instead […]

Sorry for all the arts of mystery guy.
it's impossible for Lio and this guy to meet, but if they had met...I pictured it going something like this...?
I think he really needed someone like Lio in his life.

Oh my gosh, who is this guy?!?!? Is it genderbend Blanca or something?
ohh those dramatic moments of love and hate and mystery, one of thee best story themes of anime.
Whoa, he's getting more and more bloody with every picture. Not that I mind.
Man-Blanca is getting progressively more bloody. And less clothed.
Also their crotches are touching ehehehehehehe
Also their crotches are touching ehehehehehehe
Omg... is he the one that causes disaster in Blanca's life?.. Because Lio is the one who is not affected, right?
D: Ugh, mystery
D: Ugh, mystery
aww lio
He is the craziest person i have ever seen...EVER! Maybe i can get him to be my assistant in the lab. Zombie Apocalypse my ass, boom boom headshot.
This actually really interests me. I really like like it, its very curious...if that makes sense.
What's your comic about? From this pic it looks pretty interesting. ;D
i like the blood and the look of a crazed man. that's pretty cool.
Ahh this guy seems nutty hahaha can't wait to meet him. Poor Lio, he's just sitting there like "Wtf is this....?"
this is awesome!!!! love the background.
That's so cuuuuute~!
But I like him with Xender'k better. :I
But I like him with Xender'k better. :I
I can't wait for the new part ; u; <3
daaaaaaaaaaaaw and cool!
Why wont you die? Reminds me of Schrodinger from hellsing. That is if he dyed his ears black, and tinted his hair brown.
I love Lio!!
ah mysterious guy. saying such words whilst pressing himself VERY CLOSE. XD
love it ^^
Really goood!!!!!
I used to read your comic, I comletely forgot about it! I wonder how much you've updated since I've been gone.
Well clearly he is a cat. He's got at least nine lives. Maybe this guy should try a few more times.
I can't explain why i like this so much, i just do
I love this! The anatomy is wonderful, so soft and fluid. I really love your drawing style! xxx
So even if you Kill Lio, he won't die? Omg, do you realize the opportunities here??! That means the assassins (the black arrow guys) won't stand a chance against Lio! Jeezez, Lavender-Ice, you're standing on a goldmine here! This mystery guy could be Lio's nemesis! Just a little twisted on the inside, trying to understand something he can't quite grasp, and Lio's the key. Or so he thinks...
I guess I should make clear that in this picture mystery guy wasn't directly trying to kill Lio (the blood all over the place represents blood of other people, he didn't attack Lio)
anddddddddd I need to shut up before I do spoil things
anddddddddd I need to shut up before I do spoil things
... Cloe have something to do with both of them, doesn't she? :3 I think I'm starting to realize a couple of things here... Very clever, Lavender. Clever indeed. Makes good drama.
I love this picture <3
I love this picture <3
wow,PMS got serious!
Because the Nekomimi's a guy?
Whatever, fav!
Whatever, fav!
Amazing. The expressions and words capture the moment wonderfully. Instant fan.
I think i know now... O.o I hope i know or i will die because i dont actually know...

Hi Guys
I just did a fresh install on my computer (win7) as its been long overdue! All has gone well as im pretty good at backing up important data and settings. There was one I didn't foresee and now its causing me a massive headache!!
Im having problems with Vst's. I use a lot of virtual amps, impulses, ect...
Now that I have reaper back up and running, projects, templates, fx chains, ect. cant find the vst plugins and therefore wont work. The vsts lived in their own folder within the reaper directory before the new install. Im assuming that because the exact address of that folder as maybe changed slightly, they no longer want to cooperate. Ive tried renaming, moving, etting their location in the settings.. but i just cant get them to work.
Has this ever happened to anyone, and if so how did you solve this nightmare?!
If there is no solution, does anyone know how to set it up so this just does not happen to me again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm really at my ropes end with this. I hate to think I may loose all these templates and projects
Thanks Guys

Very cool
I don't like this series very much,
but I love him, and how he turned out on this pic.
Especially his suit and this a-bit-art-nouveau-ish style. ^^

Whether you prefer to hit the trails, paddle on the lake, or watch a glorious sunset from The Lake Club deck, the good life is right outside your door. Revel in the lakefront paradise, and love the convenience of being just minutes away from downtown and the Kelowna airport. That's the beauty of Lakestone.
Phase 6 is now selling. The Waterside neighbourhood offers some of the finest lakefront and lakeview homesites in all of Lake Country. Thanks to a sloping landscape, these fully-serviced homesites are all either lakefront or lakeview.
Lakestone is located in prime Lake Country, an extraordinary natural environment. Over 25km of walking trails weave through our 300 acres of preserved open space, from the lakefront to the Summit Park which connects to the Lake Country trail system.
The $3.5 million lakefront clubhouse with pool, hot tubs, fitness centre, BBQ area, outdoor kitchen and catering facilities is the centre of it all. From here, take to the water or hike the hills – everything is so close.

The way patients make health care decisions is much more complicated than is often recognized. Patient autonomy allows both that patients will sometimes defer to clinicians and that they should sometimes be active inquirers, ready to question their clinicians and do some independent research. At the same time, patients' active inquiry requires clinicians' support.
When health care workers migrate from poor countries to rich countries, they are exercising an important human right and helping rich countries fulfill obligations of social justice. They are also, however, creating problems of social justice in the countries they leave. Solving these problems requires balancing social needs against individual rights and studying the relationship of social justice to international justice.

I'm creating a new form of money, it's called DanBills. The only way you can get DanBills is to send me red, green, or white gummy bears. No yellow, I hate the yellow flavor. Once you get DanBills, you can use them anywhere that accepts DanBills.
I'm just kidding, that would be crazy. No one individual can just invent a new currency and have it accepted by millions of people all over the world. Unless you invented Bitcoin, or Litecoin, Peercoin, Namecoin, Primecoin, or about half a dozen other ___coins.
Bitcoin is the most popular of the bunch so far. In fact it's such a hit that CNN is reporting on a new company that's planning on installing Bitcoin ATMs around the country, starting with Seattle and Austin next month. The ATMs will work more like trading exchanges (such as E-Trade) then an actual bank account, since users are kinda buying into a fluctuating asset. Basically, you'll create an account and deposit US currency into the machine. Then you'll be able to use that money to purchase Bitcoins at the going rate and put them on your ledger. When you need cash, you'll go back to the ATM, sell your Bitcoins at the going rate, and pull out US currency. The amount you put in will probably never be the amount you get out.
The reason that you don't get what you pay for here is that Bitcoins, like stocks, are not stable. Their value fluctuates (sometimes wildly). With most currencies around the world, if you put $100 into your bank account on Tuesday, when you wake up on Wednesday, that cash will be worth more or less $100. (Except for Greece.) On the other hand, in December the value of a Bitcoin went from roughly $1,200 to roughly $575 overnight. It's kind of like buying shares in Zynga.
One of Bitcoin's original selling points was that there are no government regulations or banking transactions associated with it. With these new ATMs, you'll have to create an account with a government issued license and pay a transaction fee for usage. The interesting thing about these machines, though, is that to access your account, you'll need to scan the palm of your hand, which will become your password. Although I'm going to assume that there will never be a Bitcoin ATM when you really need one. And finally, why would you want to convert your money into something that can only be used at a couple Subway sandwich shops, San Francisco's Pacific Tradewinds, and to fly Virgin to the moon? It's not like any of these places don't accept cash.
Look, if you're into speculation and have money to burn on a currency a handful of governments have already said they would never take, then go ahead and buy Bitcoins. However at this point, because of the price, you might have already missed the boat. Luckily for you, though, you can still get in on the ground floor with DanBills.

If there is one message that we have heard from you following each stop of the Windows Vista, 2007 Microsoft Office System, and Exchange Server 2007 Business Value Launch, it is your cry for a copy of the software so that you can play and become familiar with it. Working in conjunction with the Product Managers, we are happy to say that we can now fulfill your request. Everyone who attended a Launch 2007 event and submitted a completed evaluation form with their name and address will receive a complimentary Launch 2007 evaluation kit containing
· A downloadable full copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2007
· A Microsoft Office Running Start CD
· Resources and tools for evaluating Windows Vista
· A Microsoft Partner Solution DVD
With the large number of people that attended Launch 2007 events, this process will take some time to roll out so please be patient. Expect to see your package within the next 2 to 6 weeks. Don't forget that you can also download full recordings of each of the Launch 2007 sessions, as well as get links to additional resources by visiting the Launch 2007 post-event page at http://www.microsoft.ca/anewday.
If you have any questions (or just want to provide your feedback) please post a comment on the blog.
I hope this also applies to the Montréal leg of the show. I attended with an employee of mine and we were both disappointed when no copies were given out.
Thank you.
I have to admit a tinge of jealousy when I saw that our American counterparts were getting a free copy of Office. No longer!
Thanks for the update, but I think it is kind of unfair.
I always submit the evaluation form with my email and name but I don;t put my address...it is unfortuante that I will miss out on the software just becaz of that.
When doing the registation they have the complete profile/address/email (all the required info).
I was more thatn jealous, I felted 'taken' and second class. I have attended launch events for past few years and enjoyed every one, but most of all enjoyed receiving my own copy of Office and always bought a few more copies for family and friends, but most important, because of the time I had to learn the changes and improvements, made a point of recommending same to all my customers.
I did however, believe that MS would come around and treat us Canadian's with the same respect as our US cusins.
So, I'll be looking forward to receiving a my copy of Office 2007 and for the record, I did buy a copy after my trial ran out becase I needed more time to complete eveluation.
I deeply regret that work caused me to miss this. <sigh>
Glad to hear it! I definitely submitted the evaluation (always do) but I don't remember if I filled in the address portion.
Is there a way to find out if my name is on the list of people to receive the launch pack?
I can't remember if I did the evaluation or not. Is there someplace where I can find out if I did?
I'd honestly be more interested in a free copy of Vista than Office, but I doubt that my poor little computer would survive the upgrade.
But yeah, I'd like to chip in that I was pretty surprised that unlike other launches I've attended that copies weren't given out right at the event, and that nobody knew what was happening with that. Even if there isn't anything like copies being handed out or distributed afterwards, it'd be really good to at least know what's happening.
Thank you. Classy.
By the way, will the packages be arriving by snail mail or e-mail? It's a pretty dumb question to ask, given that mention of "name and address" above, but I still have to ask, just to be sure.
Hello Everyone.
Thanks for all the positive comments. If you did attend and you're worried about your address or having filled an evaluation, send us an email by using the link at the top of the page with your detailled information so we can respond.
I'd like to provide some answers to the questions above:
André : Yes, all attendees of any stops of the launch tour will receive the kit.
Marwan / Joel / Art : Please email us using the link above with your full address and contact info and we'll take care of it.
Coldacid : The package will arrive by mail and will contain an id that you'll then use to download Office from a web site.
Thanks everyone.
One of the great things about attending Microsoft events, especially their launch events, is that you almost invariably walk out of the place with some quality software for free. Back in 2005 when the latest version of Visual Studio was released, attende
Has anyone received their kit yet? I have yet to receive mine. I'm probably over excited waiting for it.lol
I was talking with Christian on Tuesday, actually, and he told me that there was a delay in getting them to send out. But they should be arriving quite shortly now that the delay is out of the way. (Hey, that rhymed.)

Ardour 2.8.10 is released
- keyboard presses and releases are now correctly sent to Ardour created plugin GUIs (e.g. for LADSPA plugins), making it possible to use the keyboard to set parameter values and define preset names.
AATranslator now has Ardour support : compatibility with other DAWs arrives!
AATranslator is a Windows program that converts sessions created in one DAW (or video editor) into formats understood by others. It supports session formats used by ProTools, Nuendo, Cubase, PreSonus Studio One, Vegas, Reaper, Wavelab, Pyramix, AMS Audiofile, Fairlight, Waveframe, DAR, N-Track, Sadie, Soundscape and more.
We heard today that its support for Ardour is now complete (for the moment), meaning that it can both import and export to/from Ardour. Read on below for more details on what it can do ....
Recovering from the mute bug ...
Although Ardour 2.8.9 no longer suffers from the subtle bug that caused the mute button(s) to no longer work by default, many users of Ardour will not see the situation change until they remove their
~/.ardour2/ardour.rc file. This probably contains default settings for mute like this:
<Option name="mute-affects-pre-fader" value="yes"/> <Option name="mute-affects-post-fader" value="yes"/> <Option name="mute-affects-control-outs" value="yes"/> <Option name="mute-affects-main-outs" value="yes"/>
If your version of this file has
value="no" for those options, you should either edit it by hand (its just a text file) so that it says
value="yes" instead or just remove the file entirely. Editing is preferable, but removing the file will not hurt. Note that the following values
y,Y,1,yes,Yes,YES are all equivalent to "yes" and similarly
n,N,0,no,No,NO are all equivalent to "no".
You should also check the file
/etc/ardour2/ardour_system.rc, or a related location if you installed Ardour somewhere non-standard) for the same issue, though it is less likely to be seen there. Do NOT remove this file - if it contains "no" as the settings for these options, you should edit the file.
Ardour 2.8.9 released
Just a couple of days since 2.8.8, and Ardour 2.8.9 is here. Why? It turned out that the infamous mute bug (which caused the mute button to do nothing) was actually not fixed in 2.8.8 (or prior versions where this has been claimed). This has been one of the worst regressions of recent versions of Ardour, and I mistakenly blamed packagers and distributions for it. Thankfully ardour.org member the_CLA spent time with me on IRC and we finally proved to my satisfaction that the bug was really in Ardour. Its now fixed, hopefully forever. Two other smaller but important bug fixes are described below ....
Ardour 2.8.8 released
Its June and Ardour 2.8.8 is finally here. Time for everyone to upgrade!
Although this is primarily a bug-fix release, some of the "bugs" fixed are so pervasive and significant that they could almost count as new features. In particular, automation editing has finally arrived at a place that people with experience on other DAWs may consider actually usable. Issues with alignment of new and existing recorded material are addressed too, and there are lots of other bug fixes for issues small and large (including 3 or 4 crashing bugs). Thanks to motivation provided by the Mixbus project, there are also yet more improvements to AudioUnit plugin handling on OS X. Anybody using Ardour 2.8.7 or earlier should upgrade to enjoy increased stability and better functionality. Read more below ...
Controlling Ardour with OSC, Part II: TouchOSC and Ardour
Interesting Podcast on financing open source software (featuring Ardour)
What's been going on with Ardour?
There hasn't been much news posted here for a while, so I thought it was appropriate to update subscribers and other supporters of my work on Ardour on what has been going on. Development efforts have ben split (about 60:40) between Ardour 3.0 and continuing work on the 2.X series, both to fix bugs and to support the continuing improvement of Mixbus. Read more below ...
Ardour 2.8.7 released
- Smarter decision making when deciding which in/out configuration to choose when handling an AU plugin that has several.
- When exporting/bouncing/consolidating, tell AU plugins the new processing blocksize so they will actually run during the process. Yes, that means what you think it means.
- Remove use of std::locale() which is utterly and completely broken on OS X, and causes a program to crash if used with any actual national locale.
- Don't reconfigure I/O of AU plugins when they already have the correct I/O configuration

worst grooming behavior
So our 6 month 70lbs puppy has thee worst tantrum when trying to groom him. First off, when he was a pup he was GREAT, awesome at the vet, we bathed him once before in our bathroom tub with doors no problem, he let us blow dry him after :-), clipping nails was not too much of a challenge but we were able to do it.
But now its a complete 180. Clipping nails forget about it. He'll let you do whatever you want to his paw with 1 hand. But the millisecond you touch him with two hands FORGET IT. We've tried doing a one for one with high value treats and it almost is worse. we actuall took him to our local petsmart just to get him used to their grooming staff(before us trying)and have them trim nails. He flipped out. They were only able to do one nail.
We took him to beach and he absolutely loved/loves the water. But when we got home, time to wash all that sand out right? Wrong. He loves his kiddie pool and hose but is a nightmare to control trying to clean/rinse him out.
we are kinda at a loss on what to do. Also fearing bringing him to vet now too. Its not that he gets violent cause he doesn't, its just that if you try to hold him or even restrain in the slightest way he just goes balistic. I dont want to scar him on anything to make it harder on us and him for the future. Any help

by giving up you are letting him win
so now he knows if he screams and carries on you will quit
put him in the tub and smear peanut butter on the wall for him
then put on your big boy or girl pants and get to washing him
same for clipping nails
one of you bait with treats to get him to stand still
the other just hurry and get nails clipped
btw it might be better to use a dremel
if you nick him it will only confirm his worst fears
also with my gsd i stand in the tub with him straddling him with him standing and bathe him that way
with a shower attachment

My boy got progressively worse in clipping nails. The last time I tried with my nice nail clippers, he screamed bloody murder in my son's lap while still taking the offered treats. Now, he's 15 months old and my husband dremels his nails while I keep him still and give him treats. It is MUCH easier to dremel than it is to clip. I just place him in a down, then nudge him to his side and just keep a hand on his neck. When we started with the dremel, I treated when we turned it on and off. Then we dremeled one nail and treated. Now, I hold a treat and he nibbles on it while my husband works. I just keep treating.
As to the water, my boy loves water but of course doesn't want me to wash him. That's just too bad. I have to do it by myself with my 90 lb boy, but he quickly figured out I wasn't going to let him win, and he gave up. Now, he's resigned to the yucky task.

I have to agree that you're letting him win. My vet showed me how to hold the dog while clipping nails and it involves two people. Lucky for me, I'm able to do it on my own now.
As for bathing, same thing, you're letting him win. All of that winning creates more fussing with each new attempt. You just have to get down to business and approach the tasks as non-negotiable. Use treats, praise, whatever, but practice being proactive about it instead of reactive.

My boy is a heck on wheels when it comes to a bath in the tub. Always took 2 of us. Last time we tried in the tub, he came out of it, bruised my pride, pulled a couple of muscles in my back. Same way about his nails. He can not handle tight areas and confinement. This was after all the great tips you have seen here and elsewhere on the forum.
We tried the kiddie pool. Works like a charm. Bonus is I don't have a bathroom to clean.
For his nails, I had him get on the ottoman, went through a series of touch his nail with the clipper - click and treat; then clip, click and treat. He will play cute sometimes and offer different behaviors on the ottoman, his favorite is rolling on his back looking at me with the tongue out and the goofy grin; a quick eh, roll him back over and continue clipping.
Keep in mind, Woolf does have a couple of wires crossed, so I choose my battles. I won by finding a way to bathe him and clip the nails without causing more anxiety.

I also wash mine outside (i.e., he doesn't get a bath in the winter hehe). His kiddie pool works well with the water hose. Also, I *can* do his nails myself, using my regular nail clippers. We can just get them shorter using the dremel as I'm terrified of quicking him with his hard, black nails so I only take the tips off. I can do it by myself though as he is very good to listen to me ... at least about that. I usually keep a bag of treats and treat often while working by myself, with the cat sitting beside me pawing my leg asking for treats as well.

Conquest For Khador by SolavWatch
©2012-2016 Solav
The earth was a barren land, the soil charred or annihilated from the continual devastation the cynarian army caused to keep the khador off it's walls to assault. As the Soldier's moral began to waver within the outer rim of the range of the cygnarian guns. the earth began to tremble, the low sound of the fall's of thunder as something came from the tree line. Thump, thump, thump the noise began to grow closer and closer till. with a gasp of awe from all that waited something of magnificence and the true iron heart of khador came forth. The collasal stood. tall, proud, and with the true strength of khador upon it's frame. with a bellowing vent of steam and smoke the monstrous machine made it's entrance as more came forth. The People of khador cheered and cried as the monstrosity moved. followed by more as they took on the charge. Giving the effect needed for all. the Conquest's began...
very nice job but i notice you didnt paint the gun holes whys that but besides that look awsome
twas because d'is ORK wuz ra'da frustrate'd wit d'e damn model w'en yer take'n et appart te get ALL d'e detailz X.x wit out breaking resin bit'z X.x
i like the idea of the collassals, but they cost so damned much that it really seems wasteful to expend the money on them. ohwell i guess i wont be getting the kraken anytime soon.
but thats missing the point here: love the paint job you did on this one. the conquest is so much cooler looking than the damned cygnar one
