Oilfield-services operator Schlumberger Ltd. said Friday that it has completed its $11 billion acquisition of Smith International Inc.
Schlumberger is the world's largest oilfield-services company, with 2009 revenue of $22.7 billion and net income slightly above $3 billion. Smith is less than half as big, earning about $1 billion on revenue of $8.2 billion last year.
Shareholders of Houston-based Smith will get 0.6966 of a Schlumberger share for each Smith share. As a result of the deal, former Smith stockholders own approximately 12.9 percent of Schlumberger's outstanding shares of common stock.
Smith makes drilling bits and other tools used in oil and gas production, and Schlumberger expects the deal to diversify its offerings as it competes with Halliburton Co.
Shares of Schlumberger rose $2.30 to close at $55.76 and fell 11 cents in after-hours trading.

Vent/Am I being too sensitive?
hmmmn. maybe they are not wanting to break tradition ? if theyve had it every year at the sisters it might be a "thing" for them. Sounds like they are only humoring your request and you are the preparty before going to the sisters house. i wouldnt have offered personally, sounds like they want thigns the way they were. I would rather be a quest then a host anyday! as for you not being able to leave til past midnight? did you not drive yourself there? especially with a young child people need to be understanding if you are tired. if your hubby caved into family and made you stay i would have drove myself home and told him to get a ride when he felt like it. but then again i'm very intolerant of people being selfish and ignoring my families needs( especially my sons).
I can understand why you feel that way, but yeah I think you might be a little sensitive. It sounds like there is history there with his mom, so you might be a little sensitive to anything having to do with her.
Could it be possible that the mother is trying to make both you and the sister happy by attending both?
Honestly, I'd be happy not to have to cook or clean up :)
Good luck!
Im curious about how they "forced" you to stay?
If everyone else wants it to be at your house, then cool. Let MIL go sit at SIL's empty house by herself
I do host Xmas brunch. I make a breakfast casserole and monkey bread... Yum
Tis the season for families gettin on our nerves ;)
I just started taking an antidepressant .... Here's to hoping it kicks in before my extended family drives me mad!! ;)

Hooray! Taoti Creative has won three additional awards for the National Association of Counties (NACo.org) website design project.
We're thrilled to announce that we won the MarCom Gold Award for our work on NACo.org!
The MarCom Awards are a creative competition recognizing the concept, writing and design of print, visual, audio and web materials and programs.

Many factors go into planning, designing, and building a great website that's designed to meet your audience's needs. But too often, a recurring series of habits combine to chip away at how much that site can live up to its potential. This is true at nonprofits with small staffs that do not include a dedicated web team. However, the scenarios listed below can be just as likely to occur at large organizations at which staff members have "update the website" on a to-do list longer than their arms.
When I first moved to Washington, I found the city's inhabitants to be fairly unwelcoming. I decided to do my part to change that and create positive interactions for others (read: tourists), mostly by way of giving directions. My husband says I'm a vigilante helper; I see it as being friendly. Either way, it probably explains why I like the recent trends in 404 errors (commonly referred to as "page not found").

Dear Lifehacker,
I've read about why I really should use a VPN and I've been looking into different providers, but there's one thing I'm worried about.

Wonderful composition!
thanks a lot.
No problem. You've created a cool, magical quality to your picture--something I still can't create in mine. Kudos!
another stunning drawing
Must just be me, but I don't really get a creepy feeling from this (the big fox doesn't really look threatening to me).
I really like this one though, the swirling shapes in the background and the grainy texture are great

A wonderful folk/fairy tale image, dark and mystical...
You work is brilliant!
This is Awesome
Wow, this is gorgeous.
This is great, the branches almost slither around the larger fox. The mood is excellent, it makes you feel as though you've been put right in the middle of a story. I also agree that it's got a very nice texture.
How do you get that grainy look for the darkness? It looks great.
Simply amazing
This reminds me of my favorite child hood book, Watership Down. I love the texture and grace in your drawings, as if done with a slight of the hand, but given a lot of detail in the finish. It looks very natural and comforting stylisticly, but the subject matter is effectivly unsettling.
<3 Really great work from you.
<3 Really great work from you.
Haha, I love how freaked out the small fox is and how creepy the....creepy fox is XD
Cool! This reminds me of the fox and Dream in The Dreamhunters.
That's going to creep me out for a very long time. I love it!
For some reason this image was on my Facebook page thumbnail on Google Chrome for months. I have no idea why. Have you done anything with ImagineFX?
Wow This is amazing, the wolf / fox..shadow things' eyes looks like the moon. I love all the scratchy textures
fox is correct.
thank you!
thank you!
^W^ Well I think its wonderful, it reminds me of Yoshitaka's painting of Dream as a giant fox in the dream hunters. A beautiful book that i heartily recommend.

It's likely to be an upbeat message from George Osborne, given the light winds of growth lifting GDP, but some in Tory circles are nervous. They're worried it's too little too late – that families out there in the country won't have felt the recovery in their pockets before next year's election. So whether Osborne opts to turbo-charge growth or focus on debt will be interesting to see.

Fox News Lies About "Violent Wisconsin Protests"

Fox News is at it again! Here's a clip form tonights O'Rielly show with reporter Mike Tobin. They are still lying and deceiving people! You've gotta see this. They spliced in a clip from some place else to make it seem as though there was a rowdy crowd in Madison Wisconsin. Look closely for the palm trees in the background (I have yet to see a palm tree in Madison). UNBELIEVABLE!! FOX NEWS LIES AGAIN!

"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"This design is a fun mix of traditional and modern elements. The paper is thick and the quality of the printing is excellent. The matte finish and subtle texture lend themselves well to the wood background. The default font for the body of the text ("Join us...") was a little too thin for us so we opted to go with Wayne instead. The only thing that might make this invitation even better is the option to change the color of the back. We liked the red gingham but we would have gone with green gingham if it were an option."
"I love the colors, the quality of the paper and the printing are wonderful. I was impressed when I noticed that I could change the hair color , that was awesome."
"Overall, I love these invitations! I decided to round the edges of the invitation. There was plenty of space on the front to put in the details of the party. On the back, I chose the one picture option. The only think I wish I could have done would be to round the edges of the picture on the back - the hard corners make it look somewhat out of place - but that obviously was nothing major and I'm sure only something I will notice. I like that Tiny Prints also includes rectangle envelopes so that I don't have to pay more in shipping for the square invitation."
"Very bright, vivid colours. The quality of paper was fantastic thick and sturdy. Beautiful invitations received quick with no hassle. Loved the invitations. Guests loved them as well."

How to make these? I tried to make one once but it didn't work for me(I tried on the clock gadget).I added another set of codes for my PNG files but it doesn't show my skin when I install it.Do you have some idea?
I basically modded the images of the original gadget. Make sure your images are the same size (pixels) as the ones you might be replacing.

"And this time it will get me: just one or two little chills," he reflected, thinking of black-water fever.
It quickly became pernicious, and developed into black-water fever.
Fever not unfrequently assumes the dangerous form known as "black-water fever."
Four times in his nine years of missionary life has he suffered from the fell "black-water" scourge.
We are surrounded by mangrove swamps, and they breed mosquitos, and consequently malaria and black-water fever.

How To Make These Very Zines, Again
There have been some delays, but How To Make This Very Zine is again available for download in German, Arabic, English, Khmer, Spanish, Greek, Russian and Georgian, on my "real" internet web-page, here. If you would like to translate this document into Swedish, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Mandarin, Lakota, Thai, Swahili or Latin, please let me know! Just not French. I'm not into that.
Modern Printed Ephemera
I'll be teaching a class starting this week called Modern Printed Ephemera at the Newberry Library (I think you can still sign up here) and we'll be starting the class off with a look at some of my collection of images—from the Newberry and elsewhere—of artist's books, small press publications, and other printed matter. Like this:
A Civil-War-era schoolbook, with lessons.
Just in case you didn't know.
This is a small book-lette from the US Department of State called The Right of People to their Freedom.
An 1894 Chicago-produced scrapbook of meticulously cut out children's games, toys, and holiday cards. (In the Newberry's collection.)
And of course, the Brigadebucher, from the Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei:
And, same era, some solidarity between the GDR and whoever's at war with the US:
New Episode: Unmarketable Podcasts
Fiona, who appears in the book as the die-hard American Girl Place fan—and who subsequently set me on this path, and this one—has the next entry in our weekly series of Unmarketable Book Release Party podcasts. I should mention that the release party was held on November 7, 2007 at the Hideout in Chicago. (The above video has quality issues, but you get the picture.) To celebrate the release, I asked my variously talented genius friends to create advertisements for products that no one wanted—and, in fact, that no one should probably have. The results were ridiculously funny, across the board—but Fiona's was one of my favorites. Listen or download it here:

Joining the original English version of How To Make This Very Zine—an 8-up folded teeny baby publication that instructs you on its own creation—and the Spanish, German, Khmer, and Arabic versions are these two new versions: Russian, above, and Greek.
Enjoy—and please pass them along to all the Russian and Greek would-be zinesters you know!
Ten Facts, Some of Which Relate to Steve McQueen
I wrote this several years ago and never finished it. It probably makes about as much sense unfinished as it would finished, though, so here it is.
I had a doctor's appointment once that didn't go terribly well—I needed medicine for anxiety and they weren't able to prescribe it for me. On the way out of the office, in the alley, I found a bag of weed.

Code Name: Aquarius [on Chicago Public Radio]
Audio from The Encyclopedia Show Season Two: Volume Three, The Zodiac is currently available from Chicago Public Radio's Chicago Amplified. You may recall my piece (the last on the audio, but listening to the whole thing will allow you to hear the pleasures known only to man as Toni Assante Lightfoot, Robbie Q. Telfer, and Jill Summers) from my November 2009 post, "Code Name: Aquarius."
What you will not recall, because I did not tell you about it, was that it kicked off an interesting exchange with the biographer of Ms. Moore, Sr., in addition to eliciting a very mysterious comment from someone blogging inside a government building in DC.
Handbook of Public Pedagogy
Oooops. . . forgot I have a new book out! Routledge just released the exciting new Handbook of Public Pedagogy, in which an updated (and corrected) version of my Fall of Autumn classic, Be a Zinester: How and Why to Publish Your Own Periodical appears alongside the work and theory of several of my friends and colleagues who have, and have not, been called terrorists on popular television program Bones.
And it's only $114.95!

I teach Y3/4 but it is really useful to see examples of ways to set out planning for mixed classes. Lots of possibilities for adapting for different classes. Thank you.
Great guidance inthese plans thanks so much for sharing
This is great, thanks. I can adapt it for my SEN group working at this level.
awesome planning - thanks for sharing. i cant use it as i have y123, but i am going to use your format as it's so much less bogged down than what we've been doing for years and years!

It's a water, for anyone who asks.

Beautiful! (really this is all i have to say) i mean really! i have no idea how you could capture this! and the background is almost like a wave coming down on top of the water droplet! Unless it is water! and that would have to be even more amazing! over all i think that most people should look at this and think of it as an inspiration. i know i do. i really think this is beautiful. enough said here. this deserves to be put in a museum! This is what i have to say........ B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! What do you think?
The Artist thought this was FAIR
16 out of 17 deviants thought this was fair.
While not the most original of works, as everyone eventually thinks of water droplets as inspirational, Damienn has brought a new layer of beauty into the picture with Broken. At first glance, one gets feelings of awe and delight at the suspended water drop which seems to break the laws of nature with its spherical perfection. The perfection of the droplet is amazing, and there is not an overabundance of ripples as so many others have done. The clean, plain feeling to the piece actually makes it stronger. The lighting is fantastic, and helps to provide depth to the background ripples while also highlighting the aqueous globe. The colors are bright and vivid, and lead the individual to think about what may lie beneath the surface, and perhaps whether our lives are simply ripples under a neutral being. Or, maybe the artist simply thought, "Let's just try to take a beautiful picture today". The effort paid off, and won him a well-earned Daily Deviation.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
18 out of 19 deviants thought this was fair.
I like that the colors are great and the drop is well placed
This looks really interesting. What drew me in was the large amount of blue in the picture, since I'm a sucker for my favourite colour The whole water droplet is very pretty, and it must've taken a lot of time and effort to get the right shot. The end result, with the vibrant colours and the clarity, is probably worth it.
Awesome work!

Superb! Love colour works really well.Great detail
Love the use of color in this one, it's chaotic yet warm.
You've got it going on!
Oh, my. That is absolutely amazing, I hope I can create something as wonderful as this someday. C:
This is how I feel when I'm drifting asleep! Great job capturing the concept. I love the detail and twists and turns
Looks more chaotic than meandering.....either way nice piece.......and congratz on DD!
This is stunning. puts me in mind of crustaceans...
Haha, I love it. So detailed and it's a good representation of my thoughts when they wander ("How the hell did I get to thinking about corn?").
Thank you for the nice comment....my thoughts usually don't wander....they are on the loose.....stampede...hahahaha....
Actually reminds me of a blanket I have ... At first glance it just looks like jumbled nonsense but there's actually a bunch of ducks
Thanks for commenting. I like ducks
Me too I have a collection of 300+ rubber/stuffed ducks, parenphanalia (not sure how you spell that) and even a live pet duck named Brain (she's a Black Cayuga).

Wow! I love this sort of artwork! The idea is stunning <33 Definitely watching you!
Stunning work

Thank you Stephan. You draw some nice portraits!. Is Lupin a Bengal cat?
He's a half breed Bengal. We didn't know what he was when he was young. meant we got him for almost nothing! He's a wonderful little creature although as I type this he's jumping on me, accidentally shut off the laptop and scratched my hand! Luckily I like him
Thank you for the compliment as well.
I don't know what I'm looking at but I love it!
i couldn't concentrate when i looked your picture.
The subtle use of color is what draws you to this picture and then the details keep you looking longer.
Very nice! Congrats on the DD

If you follow her tweets, @KittyBradshaw, you'll learn about how you can be a better digital influencer, what events she's attended and depending on what's going on - you'll be laughing over a number of her comments whether she's talking about her personal life or making a comment on something she's viewing. Kitty has such an over the top personality (which if you know me, you know that I love this and think that it's an essential) that anytime she does an event, it's a must attend.

We track four people on their journey.
Caught in the crossfire of the US war on gangs
James Bays | 30 May 2013 07:57 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, China, Egypt
United Nations - New chances that international peace talks will take place in Geneva in the next month hang in the balance of ongoing diplomatic maneuvering.
Syria has expressed its intention, in principle, to attend. But Russia is warning that the decision of a divided EU to allow its arms embargo to lapse threatens the prospects for the conference. The Syrian opposition, which has never been united, still has not decided if it will attend.
It is, however, worth looking at what is planned in Geneva. When analysts consider the importance of the meeting if it were to take place, the reasons for all the current wrangling become much clearer. Some of the key issues include:
US/Russia agreement on the plan
The idea for Geneva 2 came from the US and Russia. They certainly do not agree on most things concerning Syria. But for the first time in months, the deadlock has been broken. The two countries agreed at the beginning of May on a plan for the way forward.
Geneva 2 would not be just another international meeting on Syria. What is proposed is face-to-face talks between one delegation representing the opposition, and another made up of regime figures.
How is that different from Geneva 1?
The first Geneva meeting was held on June 30, 2012. Back then, many of those attending did so to pay lip service to the peace initiative of the then UN and Arab League joint special envoy Kofi Annan.
It was formally agreed was that "a transitional governing body" with "full executive powers" should be formed, leading Syria to "free and fair multi-party elections".
The "Action Group" of countries had come up with a plan, but then they completely ignored what had been agreed. Most did not really believe a negotiated settlement was the way things would play out. They felt the outcome in Syria, like in Libya a year earlier, would be the result of a military victory. At the time, both sides in the conflict, and their international backers, believed that they could win on the battlefield.
Why revive the Geneva Process now?
The Russians have continually invoked Geneva over the last year. But the plan was not mentioned by the US government for several months. Things only changed when John Kerry took over as US Secretary of State in February. The humanitarian situation was becoming desperate, the risk of major regional instability was growing, and there were credible reports that chemical weapons had been used. Yet he knew the White House still had no appetite for military intervention.
Kerry has known his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, for years. Lavrov, who had a frosty relationship with Kerry's predecessor, Hillary Clinton, is believed to have a much better rapport with the new Secretary of State. Many of the US concerns about the situation, particularly on chemical weapons and regional turmoil, are shared by Russia.
On May 7, Kerry met Lavrov in Moscow. They agreed to another Geneva meeting - but this time with the ambitious goal of face-to-face talks to form that "transitional governing body". Lavrov would persuade the regime to attend. Kerry would lead western efforts to get the divided opposition to the table at Geneva.
A tight timeline was set. Initially, it was proposed the conference should be held by the end of May. That date has slipped and it is now proposed that the conference should be held during the week of June 10. The idea is to create momentum, which could become unstoppable. It is also considered helpful that the talks take place the week before world leaders meet in Northern Ireland for the annual G8 gathering. The idea, one diplomat said, is that the G8 would be able to, "build on any progress, or if Geneva fails, to pick up the pieces."
Who would be at Geneva?
Diplomats say ideally both sides would send a negotiating team of about eight members. They admit, however, that bigger teams may be needed, particularly to represent all the strands of the opposition.
The opposition has said that no one from the regime with "blood on their hands" should be allowed to be attend Geneva. Some western diplomats, however, are concerned that may mean Assad sending a low level delegation with no authority to make concessions.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
Even if the opposition does decide to attend, questions will also be asked about whether their delegation really represents those fighting on the ground in Syria.
The conference will be held inside the Palais de Nations in Geneva, the UN's European headquarters - and once the base of its ill-fated predecessor the League of Nations. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon would open the session, before handing over to the Special Representative of the UN and the Arab League, Lakhdar Brahimi. He would handle the detailed negotiations, which would last about three days.
Brahimi chaired the talks at Bonn in 2001, which drew up the post-Taliban administration of Afghanistan. Brahimi is said to have told diplomats that Bonn would be his model for Geneva 2.
Western nations initially did not want international representation at the conference changed from Geneva 1. In June last year, the countries that attended were China, Russia, France, UK, US, Turkey, Qatar, Iraq and Kuwait, in addition to the EU, UN and Arab League. Kuwait was there because it chaired the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Arab League.
Qatar chaired the Arab league's Syria committee, and Iraq was the overall chair of the Arab League. This time around, if the same pattern is followed, the Arab states will be represented by Egypt (chair of Foreign ministers) and Qatar (currently both the overall chair and the chair of Syria committee).
Russia, however, would like the participation extended. Iran, Syria's closest ally, would like to attend. Saudi Arabia, along with Qatar, one of two countries most involved in arming and assisting the opposition, does not want to be excluded again. There are other core members of the Friends of Syria group who would like to attend.
It is possible the opening session will be widened to all those that want to attend. One diplomat told Al Jazeera that "this photo op" would then be followed by the actual negotiations, where only a small group of countries would get involved.
What about Assad?
This is the big question that has been left unanswered by the US and Russia. What happens to Assad, his family and his inner circle? Some western diplomats concede that although there can be no place for the family in a future Syria, perhaps he could stay on in the initial transition phase.
The "new transitional governing body" will take over executive powers, but perhaps diplomats say Assad "could keep the Palace for a time" in a ceremonial role. Among the western allies, France is the country most opposed to Assad having any role at all.
Arms embargo
Recent discussions over lifting the EU arms embargo may be seen to be going against the spirit of the US/Russian peace plan. Why would you support a peace proposal while suggesting you may soon start arming one of the sides in the conflict?
The EU was deeply divided on the issue, but in the end decided to allow its current arms ban on the opposition to lapse. This was a victory for the UK and France, who argue that the only way to get Assad to agree to negotiate at Geneva and make necessary concessions was to present him with a stark alternative.
Russia's Deputy Foreign minister has said this decision threatens the chances of Geneva 2 taking place. At the same time, he suggested Russia will ship S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Syria, adding almost wryly that they would be a "stabilising factor".
Fighting on the ground
An increase in recent offensive operations by the regime on the ground, particularly around the strategic town of Qusayr near the Lebanese border, is almost certainly in part linked to the prospect of Geneva. Assad is probably trying to strengthen his hand in negotiations, by changing the facts on the ground before they start.
Western diplomats say they do not want even to talk about a possible partition of Syria as part of negotiations, but they believe this could be part of the Assad game plan.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, a series of what is known as 'fairy doors', began popping up around the area in 2005, built into buildings, shops and restaurants and quickly acquired a cult following. Father and children's book author, Jonathan B. Wright, believed to be behind the installation of the whimsical tiny portals, is kind of like the Banksy of fairy doors.
One of the fairy doors in Ann Arbor, outside the Peaceable Kingdom store. There's a miniature replica of the shop behind the door built under the window display, which can also be seen from tiny windows inside the store…
It all began in 1993 when Jonathan was renovating his home and decided to install some fairy doors for his daughters (one in the fireplace and two in the kitchen). You can see the doors he built for them here. Over a decade later, he decided to go public. On April 7, 2005, the first public fairy door appeared outside Sweetwater's Coffee and Tea. Ten days later, the Peaceable Kingdom one appeared.The door at Red Shoes is a near-exact replica of the actual entrance, and inside the store is a small green door similar to the doors found inside the building. Written on the red door outside is Ours 123-4:5683?, which is a take on the real entrance that lists the store hours.
You can buy your own Fairy door but mine was special made for me and can only be seen from the window of the room in which I write. Today I found a fairy sized rake and shovel for 'them' and put down walking stones so they can keep the insides tidy!
Thistledown's Crown
Thistledown wus his name and sometimes he stung, well actually his stem stung. The stinkers gave him a bad name, they did! Handsome wus he. Aye, the ladies loved him. Coming near to his full bushy head of royal purple pomp, thought he smelled good too, they did, bees to his honey.
Summer time was his time, the time to bloom. His thorns served as fairy swords. An', on mass, he an' his guarded the fey's mound. Thistledown kept the cows from trampin' the wee ones. An' the cow plops from offendin' the Royal's wee noses. No hoof falls made treacherous the field's lay.
Suren, he wus sharp this fine boyo. He did 'ave a soft side, a sure sweetness. When fall's goddess Mordron* brought the chill down, he softened. Queen Mab* sent fey to catch his whitened crownin' glory, as each strand, a silken treasure, soft fell and so, Ole Thistle lost his head, for from his crown, and its down, wur made sheets of silken softness for the Tuatha De Danaan's* beds.
*Goddess Mordron/Welsh mythology, Modron ("divine mother") * Queen Mab of the Fairy* Tuatha De Danaan pre-Christian gods represented as heroes or fairies.[Tribes of the goddess Dana]
I am putting out cream for Thistledown I heard he's taken a wife and the fairy mound is near! Hopefully they will like their new home!
Do you believe in fairies????

I'm looking for some good references for learning how to model 2d physics in games. I am not looking for a library to do it for me - I want to think and learn, not blindly use someone else's work.
I've done a good bit of Googling, and while I've found a few tutorials on GameDev, etc., I find their tutorials hard to understand because they are either written poorly, or assume a level of mathematical understanding that I don't yet possess.
For specifics - I'm looking for how to model a top-down 2d game, sort of like a tank combat game - and I want to accurately model (among other things) acceleration and speed, heat buildup of 'components,' collisions between models and level boundaries, and missile-type weapons.
Websites, recommended books, blogs, code examples - all are welcome if they will aid understanding. I'm considering using C# and F# to build my game, so code examples in either of those languages would be great - but don't let language stop you from posting a good link. =)
Edit: I don't mean that I don't understand math - it's more the case that I don't know what I need to know in order to understand the systems involved, and don't really know how to find the resources that will teach me in an understandable way.

the pc should include a free upgrade to vista you can cash in later if you so desire.
Great deal at Dell for a basic computer with 512 MB memory. My question is, should I get XP or Vista Basic? Will Vista Basic run on 512 MB?

Great deal at Dell for a basic computer with 512 MB memory. My question is, should I get XP or Vista Basic? Will Vista Basic run on 512 MB?
I had to make that decision and based on the newness of Vista I chose XP Pro. This was after running 6 months on Vista Beta and RC1. I really liked it but ran into applications that did not run and hardware that did not have drivers. Some still don't, so my decision was/is to wait until the first Service Pack comes out and vendors get their Vista versions running. Then I will make the change. It does need more memory to perform well and in some cases just equal to XP with less memory.
Vista has a problem with older software, so if you have any legacy software that you intend to reuse check the website to see if Vista will run it before the decision is made. Yes Vista will run on 512, but not as well as 1 gig. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa905075.aspx
Vista Premium needs at least 1gb minimum, that is what I have. I have not had any problems since I downloaded all of my drivers. not all of the hardware has new driveres , it is worth the time to download what is available. At the beginning I did not like Vista, but now it is like having a new computer.
If you plan on playing games, 2 gb is better as far as speed.
I would reccomend Vista Premium over Vista Basic, it is worth the money.
XP is a very reliable operating system unlike vista (so far). vista has caused many o problems on lots of systems (especially hps) and hasnt worked out all of its kinks yet. My personal opinion is that vista just looks really nice and fancy but the interface is really difficult to navigate through and it is really hard on your video card. Also it might not run well on 512 mb of ram, it will run but not as well as XP would run on 512 ram. Also home basic does not have very many features or extra programs.
It sounds like your getting your self a pretty basic system. I think that for now, you would be best to get XP. There really isn't that much difference (functionally) between VISTA basic, and XP. Also, XP will run all of today's software, VISTA can't make that claim. In the future, when you upgrade your memory to 1, or 2 MB, you can upgrade to VISTA Home Premium. It's there where you will see a difference between VISTA, and XP. If you'r buying a new PC, spend the few dollars more and get a PC that will run VISTA.
Good Luck, and best regards,
Vista Basic is not a version of Vista that you'd want nor want to keep and with that in mind, consider Vista Ultimate before you decide as you can upgrade from Vista Basic to Ultimate for less. If you go with XP you will not be able to upgrade to Vista Ultimate for the same amount of money. Choose very carefully, read the license terms and conditions before doing anything as I wasn't able to agree to them so I'm passing on Vista. I'm not saying Vista is bad or it won't improve as I think it will be much better when SP1 comes out. I've seen full versions of Vista Ultimate for sale at less than retail price on usedvictoria.com as I'm not alone in my decision not to go with Vista. It's a matter of choice and you should not take a biased opinion on it.
First, it is highly unlikely that you will want to stay with Vista Basic
as you will upgrade to a different version which will cost you more money. I'm sure that Dell would not sell you Vista Basic without being able to run on 512 mb so that is not a concern. I'd be more concerned about what version of Vista you would want and decide which version you want and order a laptop with that version as it is going to cost you more for memory and the different version but not as much as it would if you bought this laptop with Vista Basic. My advice is don't buy anything with Vista Basic buy it with Media Center or Ultimate with 1mb of ram as minimum but preferrably with 2 mb as Vista in these versions are memory users.
Vista Basic is basically a virus to computer hardware if you don't have more than 512MB. My HP laptop came with 512mb and Vista Basic. The hard drive was almost constantly working away as virtual memory to compensate for the lack of memory. That said, it is do-able if you have some basic knowledge of Windows. You can use the msconfig command to stop non essential programs from running at startup. Check the startup list against Google to see which you can safely disable. You can then adjust Vista's performance settings to run for performance rather than appearance. These things make a big difference, quieten down your hard drive a lot, reduce heat and so on. Otherwise, as I say, Vista Basic is a virus of the very worst kind. Is that Microsoft's fault or the computer supplier who put Vista onto a computer with only 512MB. Probably the latter, but even so... That aside, you have the obvious issues of compatibility. Vista's time hasn't arrived, yet. Stick with XP and you will be a lot less frustrated and retain a quality of life. I'm tempted to say that to those on a tight budget, Vista is far worse of a nightmare than was the half baked product that was Windows Millennium. When I bumped the memory up, though, Vista ran as fast as XP. Is that progress, though!
Ive done the same thing, but if you don't run sidebar, and put the theme to Windows Classic it wouldnt be that bad. Don't get me wrong, my 'top was really slow until i got a gig stick and threw it in. I haven't had any compatibility or software or driver problems, so given my expirence, I would go with Vista, as it is LIGHTYEARS ahead of XP. Case and point; I've tried to hook up my laptop via SVIDEO to my tv, (when I had XP) and couldn't get it to work. A few weeks after I got Vista, I plugged the TV in to try a few things, and ALL BY ITSELF it adjusted the resoultion and refresh rate for the TV. Microsoft has done a great job with Vista, and contrary to all the pessimists and *ignorant* people (aka mac users, specifically ones who believe in those funny but biased switch commercials)I think its going to be a success story for microsoft (not that windows already hasn't been one) But yeah go for vista, get a gig if you can, but if you can't get it with 512 and go and buy a gig stick later.

What position did you play?
Devoid replied to arbnranger's topic in Carolina PanthersI was starting quick guard and back up DE/DT 4-3 my senior year. Our O-line looked like this TE QG C SG T OT the strong side would switch based on the play. Also I got Honorable Mention for All County as a guard at 6 foot 140 lbs. I pulled well and run blocked almost perfect every game but sucked at pass blocking seeing as I was so tiny. Funny story I was supposed to start my junior year but I would run block too high and get pushed around (140 lbs). While on JV during half-time the coach pulled me aside and told me to block lower and stop getting pushed around (he sounded pissed). To show him I was already doing my best I bear crawled for the rest of the game on run plays. After the game he congratulated me and said if I had done that all year I would have been starting on varsity. My greatest moment was when I blocked an extra point by tricking the guard. I lined up outside shoulder and shot the inside gap. I went through clean, blocked the kick, and had a painful red mark with jersey lines just above my arm pit; hurt like hell.

When and Why to make Noise
Devoid replied to Devoid's topic in Carolina PanthersAt first I almost went with the huddle but they are grouped together to block out the noise and are in tight together. Now after they break the huddle or from the no huddle offense get loud. Crowd noise will affect a QBs ability to change the play from the line more than anything else. I will not be handing this out because I will not be at the game, I live a few hours away. This does sound like a job for the Roaring Riot or someone who knows someone that can slip this into the programs. Although this site does get a lot of traffic so you never really know if it will help and there has been some discussion which is cool.

When and Why to make Noise
Devoid posted a topic in Carolina PanthersAfter reading how to Maximize Your Noise I feel I should remind people when and why making noise helps and hurts teams. When our team is on offense you should be silent from huddle to tackle. This helps our team call plays, make adjustments, and communicate during the play. Yes the offensive line communicates during the play so save it till the play is over. I know you are exited and want to cheer for Cam to drive the field or get a third down but silence will actually help him and the team. It can also help with the hard count causing some defenders to jump giving up free yards and all you have to do is be silent. With big plays, first downs, penalties in our favor, and of course touchdowns make sure to rock the house to motivate our team while demoralizing theirs. The defense is a bit more complex but I will try and keep it short. Save your voice by knowing when to get loud to be the most effective. Start making noise when the offense comes to the line and continue till the hand off or pass then cheer the tackle (unless it is a big play for them). Holding back on first down (still make noise) and getting louder on third down will save your voice some. Always get as loud as you can when you see the QB changing the play, you will see him step up, yell, look around, or do hand signals (still get loud the O-line and WR will talk to make sure they are on the same page). With big hits, tackles for a loss, stuffing a third down, penalties in our favor, sacks, interceptions, and fumbles make sure to rock the house to motivate our team while demoralizing theirs. Stay as loud as possible when they are in the Red Zone. If done right you can screw up a play or force a timeout and that is what home field advantage is all about. Do get loud for penalties in our favor nothing hurts worse than screwing up on this stage and having some 60k+ fans point it out to you. All of them even if you don't think it matters, get loud. You can get into players heads with that causing more screw ups. I always remember announcers talking about how quite it was for Peyton Manning when he was on the field in Indy everyone could hear his voice clearly; we have to be like that. Also if you are at the game fix anyone around you that is screwing up. This applies for all 4 quarters get started early, no matter the score up or down, and leave it all behind in the fourth quarter to seal the deal. They can hear you and it motivates them. You can affect the game. Remember if the fans don't quit there is no way the players will and if no one quits there will always be a chance to win.

2014 vs 2015 - Panthers Offensive Line
Devoid replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersAt this time last year they had two question marks fighting for the LT spot with the loser getting the RT with no depth (other than an injury prone kid, that was still worse than Bell and Chandler, and a project). We had Amini and Scott at the guard spots with one failing to live up to his draft spot and the other a back up at best (well both are back ups at best). Now they have a solid inside with depth and a RT spot with at worse Remmers who played well. The only question mark is the LT spot where even Bell looked almost average when the other four spots were locked down. If Oher can play as well as Bell they should be fine. If he plays better than Bell they could be scary good. This is the first year in a long time that they have options, depth, and continuity. Starting to get over excited for the season...

Private & Confidential
To: Mr. Cade
From: Zoe Kilgerran, your employee
I find this difficult to say and don't know where to start, so I'll take a deep breath and begin!
I'm afraid you've formed the worst possible impression of me and even branded me a heartless tramp with no morals.
Your opinion means so much to me. Can I ever convince you that you are so wrong? Perhaps we could meet and talk it through....
Diana Hamilton was born in a town. Wanting to be a country child, her imagination came into play at an early age, transforming a neighbors tree into a forest, a hole in a stone wall into a gingerbread house, a gas puddle into a fairyland, complete with mountains, lakes and flower meadows.
She loathed housework but made to do her share, to lessen the boredom, she told herself stories, in a very loud voice, featuring princesses and flower gardens, discovering that telling herself stories was almost as good as reading them in a book.
She loathed school with an equal passion and got through it by pretending to be somewhere else. Even so she left grammar school with respectable grades.
And was sent to art college when she wanted to study to be a vet. This was nowhere as bad as it had seemed because it was there, at age 18, she first saw Peter. He had returned from two years active service in Korea to resume his studies, and Diana immediately fell in love with him.
Gaining a degree in advertising copywriting, Diana worked as a copywriter and married Peter. They moved to a remote part of Wales after the birth of their second child, Paul, when their daughter, Rebecca, was three years old. There, Diana enjoyed pony trekking and walking in the mountains; and her third child, Andrew, was born.
Itchy feet brought them back to England to the beautiful county of Shropshire four years later and they have been there ever since, gradually restoring the rambling Elizabethan manor that Diana gave her heart to on sight, creating a garden out of a wilderness of nettles, brambles and old bedsteads.
In the mid-'70s Diana took up her pen again to write stories to read to her three children at bedtime. These were never offered for publication but the bug had bitten. Over the next 10 years she combined writing over 30 novels, published by Robert Hale of London, with bringing up her children, gardening and cooking for the restaurant of a local inna wonderful excuse to avoid the dreaded housework!
In 1987 Diana realized her dearest ambitionthe publication of her first Mills & Boon romance, Song in a Strange Land. She had come home. And that feeling persists to this day as, around 30 Harlequin/Mills & Boon romantic novels late, she is still in love with the genre.
*Sadly, Diana Hamilton passed away on May 3, 2009, at her home in Shropshire, surrounded by her family. She will be sorely missed by her fans and everyone at Harlequin Presents.

Gravity Rises on Kim Sale
(GRVY) surged 21% after controlling shareholder Jung Ryool Kim sold his 52% stake and set plans to quit as a director. Gravity said the sale covered shares owned by Kim and his children, Jung Ryool Kim, Ji Young Kim, Young Joon Kim and Ji Yoon Kim. The buyers were Ezer and Techno Groove of Japan, a pair of technology ventures controlled by Nichiei Ryu and Taizo and Masayoshi Son.The buyers said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that they might seek to increase their stake but said they wouldn't pay more than the $7.10 an American depositary share they forked over in the initial transaction. The buyers also said they might seek to delist the stock or sell Gravity's assets to a company they control, depending on market conditions and circumstances. "We expect this sale to result in a change of control in us," the Seoul-based online gaming company said. Its shares rose $1.51 to $8.61.Gravity
