text: First Impressions of a New Mac Pro Compared to an Older iMac for Color Grading Tom Parish January 19, 2014 1629 As a colorist I've come to think that no matter how much power you have under the hood of a machine, you always seem to want more. But practically speaking, what is enough power? Especially if you want to invest in a new machine and you're focused on staying with the Apple products – in particular the new Mac Pro that you plan to use for the next 3-4+ years before starting another upgrade cycle. It's time for an upgrade in my studio, and I wanted to know if the new Mac Pro would be the right direction for me. Thanks to OmegaBroadcast here in Austin Texas, who generously allowed me to borrow their new Mac Pro for a few days, I was able to do some testing. This wasn't the most complete, objective testing one can do, but I just wanted to get a rough feel for what the performance is like on the mid-priced standard configuration show here. So I brought that little black cylinder home, hooked it up to my environment, and took clips from two full-length narratives I recently completed grading. One film was shot on Canon C300 using C-Log encoding in 1920×1080, which is representative of the kinds of on-going projects I see. The other was an EPIC 5K RED-based 4800×2700 film using their REDLogFilm encoding. Believe it or not, I've graded literally dozens of shorts and long-form narratives on a two-year-old iMac fully tricked out with 256 SSD, 32GB of RAM and 10TB Raid 5 Thunderbolt drive, and I use Resolve 10 for my projects. I have been reasonably happy with the performance of HD projects on this older iMac, and I can even get pretty consistent audio playback. But in general it feels like that machine is at its hairy edge trying to keep up, and I know render times could be better. Needless to say, noise reduction can only be used sparingly. Though I have graded EPIC 5k projects on this machine, it's a challenge at times and not the most efficient way to work. You work with the tools you have, right? That said, I know the time has come to upgrade, and I'm not going to move to a PC nor am I interested in purchasing an older Mac Pro. General Impressions As other bloggers have commented, when you first pick up the little black jewel you can't help but wonder how in the world they engineered so much power into such a small package. It's hefty when you lift it – roughly 11 pounds – but your lasting impression is this guy is PORTABLE. I began imagining how I could take advantage of its small size. I have the option of keeping it on my desk to marvel at or easily find room in the cabinets below. This is going to be a popular machine for on-set grading, and I imagine we'll see hundreds of these Mac Pros sitting in booths at NAB 2014 this year. You can easily lift off the outside case and look inside. The memory cards and graphics are accessible immediately after lifting the round case, and they appear to be replaceable. The CPU, which is down at the bottom on the daughterboard, is replaceable, too, I'm told, though that would require some disassembly. Yes, the Mac Pro is quiet. Frankly, I never heard it, as even the quietest disk drives seemed to be louder than Mac Pro. On the tests below where I rendered 5K files using the full debayering feature, the Mac Pro was pushing warm air out the top but there was no loud rush of fan noise. This to me is a huge deal for me. I do a lot of audio work. It's critical to keep my studio as quiet as possible, so that's a plus. Subjective performance observations – booting, loading Resolve, loading stills, moving through timelines – all of these just felt substantially faster, especially with the 5k EPIC files. But even the handling of HD files – which I thought was adequate on my older iMac – was substantially quicker, snappier. The render times for tests are below and they are impressive. Before I review the testing I did, I ask you to keep two things in mind. One, this was a quick, partially objective, partially subjective testing process for me. I had projects to get out, so my time was limited. Two, if you're looking for a down-and-dirty, nuts-and-bolts performance analysis, you'll find that at AnandTech and other places showing detailed performance benchmarks, and they are more comprehensive in their reviews of the Mac Pro features. Another excellent backgrounder was written by Jason Myers of LiftGammaGain. He was able to run a few different benchmarks, including the Resolve 9 Standard Candle, as well as a variation that Juan Salvo has been working on called the Standard Flashlight, some Sapphire Plugin benchmarks, a 6-node HD encoding test, along with playback performance for a number of cameras. His tests were on the same Mac Pro I used in my tests. Juan Salvo Jason Myers and Josh Petok give an extremely thoughtful perspective on whether or not to buy a new Mac Pro on their latest Coloristo's #15 Podcasts "The new Mac Pro". New Mac Pro testing – I ran two tests: 1. Render a single ProRes 422 1920×1080 file from Canon C300 C-Log encoded clips. Total length: 16 minutes 23 seconds 2. Render a single ProRes 422 file 4800×2700 fully debayered from RED EPIC clips. Total length: 6 minutes 17 seconds. Here is a quick summary of my current iMac and new Mac Pro configuration with Blackmagic disk speed tests. Note that on the RED footage tests I did NOT have the same disk drive on the new Mac Pro. I just didn't have a practical (safe) way to move the source files that were on my iMac because I was still making some changes to that film. I had an 8TB FireWire Raid 0 LaCie drive which had a duplicate set of source files, so I thought what the heck, let's run the Mac Pro with a significant disk handicap and see how it does. Sure enough, the Mac Pro beat the pants off the iMac, even with the handicap. CANON C-LOG HD FILES TEST iMac – CANON C-LOG 1920×1080 Render Test LaCie 4TB RAID 0 Thunderbolt: Write 250 MB/s Read 265 MB/s Timeline speed – 20-24 FPS – ~5 nodes per clip Render 6:17 minutes of Canon C-LOG source files to a single ProRes 422 file — 21.25 minutes New Mac Pro – CANON C-LOG HD Render Test LaCie 4TB RAID 0 Thunderbolt: Write 250 MB/s Read 265 MB/s Timeline speed – 24 FPS ~5 nodes per clip Render 6:17 minutes of Canon C-LOG source files to a single ProRes 422 file — 5.5 minutes RED EPIC FILES TEST iMac – RED EPIC files 4800×2700 Render Test LaCie 1oTB Raid 5 Thunderbolt: Write 550 MB/s Read 710 MB/s Timeline speed at half resolution – good – 3-5 FPS (typically 7-8 nodes per clip) RED files test 4800×2700 6:17 duration – Force sizing and debayering to highest quality took ~55 minutes New Mac Pro – RED EPIC files 4800×2700 Render Test ** FireWire Raid 0 8TB LaCie drive: Write 60 MB/s Read 75 MB/s Timeline speed at half resolution – good – 24 FPS – solid (typically 7-8 nodes per clip) RED files test 4800×2700 6:17 duration – Force sizing and debayering to highest quality took ~38 minutes Results In summary, this mid-level Mac Pro was easily outperforming the older iMac in playback and render times, even with the Mac Pro using an older FireWire drive on the RED files. I can see stretching some financially to get the faster graphics cards and going up to 8 processors versus 6 and upping the SSD RAM to 512GB or likely 1TB. I'm basing this partially on the testing I've seen at other blog sites and my intuition in configuring systems over the years. I will not likely go for the 12-processor model. Having worked at Motorola Semiconductor for 12 years and seeing the development of parallel processing CPUs, I have some insights around the product maturation process and increasing performance over time. Typically the 12 processor is going to cost a lot more and the additional performance can be questionable. As a side note, I made a rather interesting observation: The back of the Mac Pro lights up around the connectors. As cool as this is, I found it actually to be a kind of hindrance. In a darkened studio, my eyes try to adjust to the rather bright-white outline around the connector area, but I cannot actually 'see' the connector inputs because they are so black! I chuckled about this as I know that Apple must be assuming you'll be in a well-lit room when you plug cables in. No biggie here; just saying it was odd at first as I couldn't actually find the right hole to plug in cables quickly in my studio. Hope you found this useful. It was revealing to me, and the only downside was having to give the little guy back. Now back to work! Tom ————— ADDENDUM 1 – One additional point I want to make is that your decision to purchase a Mac Pro is that for some people the new 27″ iMacs with SSD RAM and NIVIDA graphics coprocessor(optional) are an excellent buy. In fact I suspect that most businesses will find this a better solution unless you're truly needing all the power of a Mac Pro and you're willing to spend the extra coin. My two year old iMac still works very well for HD projects and as I said I've completed a 5k RED full length movie on it. It was slow at at times but the running at 1/8 resolution brought me 24fps playback. Although audio the addition of audio was a problem. The other issue with the older iMac is that noise reduction is very very slow. Doable just slow. So if you're looking for a best fit solution for your budget I would encourage readers to look at getting an iMac. For a more detailed discussion of needs versus power versus dollars let me encourage you to listen to this podcast by Juan Salvo Jason Myers and Josh Petok as they give an extremely thoughtful perspective on whether or not to buy a new Mac Pro on their latest Coloristo's #15 Podcasts "The new Mac Pro".

not that much thats for sure
There are some things a man needs to believe in wether they're true or not;
Frame doesn't weigh 2 pounds, more likely 4 to 5 pounds.
That guy is an insane liar. That price is crazy - "Campagnolo Parts" - there are no parts except the headset! the bike has no tubing decal. 2 lbs w/ fork or w/o fork? Come on.
Are you kidding me? $2500 buy it now?

Or is there a Bianchi expert that can "enlighten" us mere mortals, as to why that would sell for either of those figures!
I "asked seller a quesstion" to see what his take on it was.
Hopefully I stated it politely enough to merit a reply.
We'll see. I'm "watching that item".
Well, except dropouts and BB cable guides.Originally Posted by splytz1
And, c'mon, it's Celeste Green...that's gotta be worth at least $500 itself.

(I actually can't even tell if thats Campy really, possibly not)
Chop a few zeros off the end and I'd think about....
N-1 is my long-term goal
I wouldn't pay that much if it was brand new old stock. My roommate has pretty much the same bike, in decent condition, that he got for $350. Before I clicked the link I was thinking $100.
Falling is learning...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]...learn to not fall in a box.
Any good American will watch THIS -and- WHERE WAS MY BIKE MADE?
Hey, come on, give the guy a break. He meant two kilos; he was still a little foggy from his recent score.
My local CL has a complete Bianchi Campione listed for $500. Even that seems a bit steep to me...unless it's got some high end Campagnolo group. Looks like it has modern brifters.
The lightest lugged steel bike made by Bianchi was a proto-type,an EL-OS.It was in 1991.Complete with pedals it weighed a shade over 17lbs.It had a titaniam stem.Doing the math,the frame was no less than 3lbs. The bike listed can't weigh 2lbs.,frame only,let alone with fork.Start with a falsehood,the rest flows from there.
I got a frame to paint from Craig Calfee one time. He said the goal was to keep it less than 2 1/4 pounds.
It weighed 2 pounds, 1 1/2 ounces when I got it.
It weighed 2 pounds, 3 7/8 ounces when he got it back! (wheeew!)
BTW, Calfee frames are carbon!
except for the bamboo frames.
So even 2 kilos is generous!
Now revised, no weight and reduced price. It's actually a pretty interesting Bianchi frame. I've never seen that seat-stay top or fork crown before. Looks like a 70's bike except for the extra bottle bosses on the seat-tube. Maybe added later and repainted?
If he had an accurate scale and could show that the frame/fork weighs 6lbs, I would say $500 might be an ok price if it is an SL tubeset. But I'm a sucker for Bianchi's.
IT IS every bit of a 6lb. bike. NOT worth $500 even if it hadn't been re-painted,which it HAS,at LEAST a partial.I know "un-authentic celeste when I see it.Originally Posted by Otis

Iran 'Mossad Spy' Gets Death Sentence
Majid Jamali-Fashi confessed to the murder of nuclear scientist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi in January 2010.
By Gil Ronen

Screen Capture
On Sunday an Iranian court sentenced to death Majid Jamali-Fashi, who has confessed to the murder of Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, one of Tehran's "top nuclear scientists," in January 2010.
Ali-Mohammadi's assassination was the first of several attacks on scientists which Iran has blamed on foreign agents.
According to taped interviews with Jamali-Fashi that appeared on Iranian television, he travelled to Turkey in search of work and became involved with the Iranian exile community in Istanbul, who in turn introduced him to the Mossad.
Ali-Mohammadi, an elementary-particle physicist, was leaving his Tehran home to go to work on Jan. 12, 2010, when a bomb hidden in a motorcycle exploded nearby and killed him.
Two similar attacks in November killed two nuclear scientists and wounded another, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, who has since become Iran's atomic energy chief.
Iran's nuclear programs were further set back by the invations of the Stuxnet worm that destroyed operating systems.

Self-labeled Sexual Orientation and Sexual Behavior: Considerations for STD-Related Biomedical Research and Education
June M. Reinisch Stephanie A. Sanders Mary Ziemba-Davis The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Indiana University, Bloomington
It is a characteristic of the human mind that it tries to dichotomize in its classification of phenomena. Things either are so, or they are not so. Sexual behavior is either normal or abnormal, socially acceptable or unacceptable, heterosexual or homosexual; and many persons do not want to believe that there are gradations in these matters from one to the other extreme.
--( Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin, & Gebhard, 1953)
Prior to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) crisis, relatively few members of the scientific community focused their research on human sexual behavior. With the advent of AIDS, understanding sexual behavior has become an essential component in all scientific activities related to arresting the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Progress in understanding the sexual transmission of HIV, predicting the spread of the virus throughout our population, and developing effective prevention programs, however, has been hindered by a lack of basic information regarding sexual behavior within and among the various social, cultural, and ethnic groups in our society.
As evidenced in the opening quotation, Kinsey and his colleagues noted in Sexual Behavior in the Human Female ( 1953) that the prevailing sexual nomenclature reflects our predilection for dichotomous categories of human sexual behavior and responsiveness. In both popular and scientific parlance, sexual behaviors involving opposite-sexed partners are referred to as heterosexual, behaviors involving the same-sex are referred to as homosexual, and, accordingly, the participants themselves are referred to as either heterosexual or homosexual. By extension, these labels are presumed to predict the sex of one's partners, the

Hey guys,
I just put up my first self-published tutorial ( sellfy.com/p/CGJg/ ) , but I'm thinking of doing more. It'd be better for me to get some feedback on what sort of tutorials you'd want to see from me, so that I can actually take them into consideration for producing more tutorials. Also, and feedback from those that have seen the tutorial, please send it my way, I'd love to hear some feedback! I want to be able to make a handy library for people to have some material on how to paint, so if you have suggestions, toss them into the comments!

Hi there, Im very sorry to bother you, but what if I asked you (begged you on hands and knees) to allow me to display/feature your "Portrait of a Deadman" in my Shadow-Psychology group, would you allow that? (grovels at your feet imploring with tears in eyes!)
Great, thanks! I think some character/creature tutorial would be nice, too
wish u all the best !
however sites like skillshare has similar stuff for the same price . .cheaper considering for 9.90 u can access tons of tutorials for famous artists
and there's free stuff everywhere
feng zhu etc
but the site sellfy seems really interesting and i hope u get lots of purchases
but the site sellfy seems really interesting and i hope u get lots of purchases
I am also on skillshare I wanted to see if doing this myself and selling it on my own would prove more useful for people, because skillshare only allows a certain number of minutes on videos and I wanted to do something a little different. Still, I do have a class there!
yes i just saw your class after i posted a comment . . i'm signing up and will defitely look at your class .. i already bookmarked it
love your website also . .
love your website also . .

This client sells sweetened beverages. She displays her merchandise at a store in the mall, which she rents together with her colleagues in the same business. She started her business with seed capital received from her husband; later, she benefited from a Hekima loan. She has been in this business for eight years.
This new loan will be used to purchase 20 cases of sweetened beverage. This is how she sends her children to school and feeds them. To conclude, she strongly thanks Hekima for helping small entrepreneurs excluded from traditional banking become autonomous.
Additional Information
Important InformationHEKIMA is a microfinance institution headquartered in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with branch offices in Goma and Bukavu. HEKIMA aims to contribute to the transformation of the economic, social, and spiritual lives of the economically active poor of the DRC. To this end, HEKIMA provides its clients with solidarity group loans to support income-generating activities. Despite ongoing instability and violence in its operating areas, HEKIMA continues to keep its doors open and provide credit and savings services for its over 90% female clientele.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I hope it's fine, but I tried coloring this comic.
I've taken no credit.
I've taken no credit.
I find it hilarious and extremely pleasing that Aaaall of these comics end with larger busts :3
Well i just gonna say that made me get a boner pretty fast...nice jooob~
your punchline is allway boobs ...right?
XD nailed it
I like how these comics start out so seemingly clean, and then out of nowhere take a 180 into "WHAT THE-" territory. It's funny.
Why would you give yourself boobs?
I am laughing my tail off
is it wrong to want her and the compound*giggles*
heheheh :b
It's like, "Something doesn't feel quite right here."
I read every one of these on DA because just the last panel alone is hilarious for me. I think This one might be a personal favorite.
Radioactivity can do that.
I just bought the full comic, and it was totally worth it. I love it.
The last panel ... I'm glad my mouth was empty! I would have been cleaning my screen (again). Last time it happened was ...
Butt Shot.
If you haven't see it, search his gallery.

this looks like a good one.
Well at least she was a woman to begin with. lol
I expected a shootout or something. the ending was not expected what so ever. XD
Now I find out!
Looks great.
Looks great.
"Congradulations, you now have breast cancer." were the words running through my head the second I got to that last panel after I saw that the box was radioactive. Anyway, awesome comic, I'm curious to know what program you used to make this. Did you use Manga Studio at all? I have Manga Studio Debut 4 and stuff and this looks pretty similar to it and whatnot. So I was thinking it might have been 3 or something. Just curious though.
Actually, I think it's a biohazard symbol
But good observation
I feel more sorry for hamsterjack though...
But good observation
I feel more sorry for hamsterjack though...
haha, i'll remember the warning ^_^
One of these days I'mna buy one of these comics just to find out how it all ends.
One of these days I'mna buy one of these comics just to find out how it all ends.
The only real reason I'd buy it is because I don't like reading something and not being able to continue.
well then. XD
i like the layout as well, couldn't be more effective.
O_O we need more of that stuff mass produced.
Cool style and great layouts.
The last panel you add to these always makes me giggle and this one is no exception =]
You always come up with such interesting stories
You always come up with such interesting stories
The punchline killed me.
What? *researching stuff noises* Ooohhh! Its a sex comic... Not my thing dude, but nice pictures. Best of luck in your business.
You know what? I actually klick on these just to see what the Hamster does. Yes, the snippets from new comics are nice, but the antics of the Hamster are what draws me back. By the way, this one is realy hilarious. Well done.
Loving these shorts. This one made me chuckle.

The Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS is new offering in 2009 from Canon, presumably Canon's answer to Nikon's 105mm f/2.8 VR.
The unusually high number of elements for a "prime" lens (15 elements in 10 groups), the 100/2.8L is probably well corrected in a variety of ways, the main question being whether it can hold its performance from the 1:1 range out to infinity; some macro lenses perform not so well at infinity.
Lens overview
Overall image quality
Because the sample I began testing was badly blurred on one side, and the second sample also had an issue, it's difficult to make an absolute conclusion about the 100/2.8L, but I think I have a good read on the lens, see the conclusions.

DPS In Depth
The diversity of our student body is matched only by the variety of our academic offerings. Students benefit from a solid academic program in our 27 schools and one special center.
Because students learn in different ways, DPS families will find single-gender, Montessori, place-based, dual-language, primary literacy and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs at the preK-8 level and others that challenge students at the high school level. These include STEM at Thurgood Marshall, cutting-edge career pathways at David H. Ponitz Career Technology Center, the International Baccalaureate program at Meadowdale, early college program at Dunbar, and visual and performing arts at Stivers School for the Arts. Students may also benefit from blended learning (online instruction coupled with face-to-face interaction with a classroom teacher). We also recently opened our Rosa Parks Early Learning Center for preschool children, which is expanding to serve kindergarten.
DPS is partnering with the Dayton Foundation, the University of Dayton's Raymond L. Fitz Center for Leadership in Community, and a host of local businesses and health and social service organizations to operate five Dayton Public preK-8 schools as community centers in the after-school hours. The centers are part of the district's initiative to create strong neighborhood schools.
Passage of a 2002 bond issue led to the construction of 26 bright, safe, technology-ready schools for 21st century teaching and learning. State dollars provided 61 percent of the project's funding; the local share of 39 percent was made possible by voter support.
There is no more important work than our dedication to education and the children we serve. We would not be able to achieve the milestones of the last year without the involvement of our families and support of our community partners.

I feel so bad...I totally forgot to give DS his medicine this morning. I just dropped off his lunch and the classroom aide saw me in the hallway and said he was doing okay but seemed really hyper (that's when the light bulb went off and I realized I had forgotten). She said he was running around the room at math time so he's on yellow for math. He always hates getting any behavior mark, and I feel like this time it's my fault. :(
Note to self: add it to my iphone calendar so I will get an alert!!

Through the Lens Benjamin Wells Whitehill
Benjamin Wells Whitehill
This book is a representation of approximately ten months time spent in Italy as a student. I loved every day that I had there and wish to be back soon. The pictures represent many, but not all of the cities that I have visited. There is a mix of the everyday Italy and a few pictures of objects that you may have read about in a magazine or book about Italy. Please enjoy the views as I saw them through my lens.

- Sodium Water Softeners
Sodium Water Softeners
Do You Use a Whole House Water Softener?
Water Ionizers should not be used in conjunction with high levels of sodium, such as with water softeners. Here's the reason and solution for the problem:
Water Ionizers: Sodium, Water Softeners
If you use a sodium or potassium based water softener [or if you live in an area that has very high levels of sodium in your water] you most likely shouldn't hook up to a water ionizer with that water. There are ways to pre-filter the sodium out of the water, and the most customary way is to use a reverse osmosis system. If you do already have a reverse osmosis unit, then make sure you use a remineralizer filter with it. If you don't already have RO [reverse osmosis] I encourage you to get ours, because it comes already configured with a remineralizer.
Sodium is an abrasive mineral and it's also electrically conductive. Because it's also highly alkaline it will concentrate in your alkaline ionized water, possibly making your ionized water too salty for healthy consumption. Too much sodium in your diet can be unhealthy especially if you have high blood-pressure or other health condition.
The fact that sodium is electrically conductive and abrasive makes it a threat to the plates of your water ionizer as well. A water ionizer puts electricity through the water. It may be fine to use extra sodium once in a while [such as with the Enagic's "saline port"], but it may interfere with the ionizer's ability to ionize and even hurt the water ionizer if you continuously used water that was too high in sodium. Most water ionizer companies won't cover damage due to use of sodium.
What can you do to fix this problem?
- Install a reverse osmosis system which also remineralizes the water properly.
Reverse Osmosis: RO is actually the best filtration, and it is great for eliminating hardness and sodium from your water. The Reverse-Osmosis-Remineralizer-System we sell was designed specifically to work with a water ionizer at a flow rate of 1.5 liters per minute. RO will remove up to 99.9% contaminants, it also removes salt and 100% of germs and viruses. You need a big enough tank and a suitable membrane. So, choose your RO systems with care. Also, make sure you get an ionizer that will allow slower flow rates if you're hooking into a reverse osmosis system.
- Another option to use with whole house water softeners is to bypass the water softener with a dedicated line to your water ionizer. This can be done by…
- either making all the cold water in your house un-softened [i.e., bypass the softener for the cold water]. A lot of people do this.
- or, install a direct line to your water ionizer which bypasses the softener.

As winter peeks from under the covers I need a challenge to keep in the saddle and stay on the weight-loss journey. I have made the decision to sign-up for the Seattle area "Chilly Hilly" in February. I presently weigh 289lbs (down from 316lbs) and want to be at around 260lbs by February in time for this ride. Thoughts:
Is this ride suitable for a clyde at my weight? The route:
I intend switching my regular riding to three nights a week of 8 mile rides of a 600-800ft climbing route. Along with a weekend 30 mile ride with climbs (TBD). Good start?
I ride a 2010 Roubaix Comp - stock. Should I change anything out for the climbing?
Thanks all - Im excited

Tim Eyman tried his hand as a lawyer in court Friday and pretty much lost his shorts.
A Thurston County judge threw out the initiative promoter's claim that the Office of Financial Management needs to change its estimate of taxpayer costs for Initiative 1185 in the voters pamphlet.
I-1185 — which seeks to reassert a two-thirds legislative vote requirement for tax hikes and a simple majority vote requirement for all fee increases — is one of a half-dozen measures on the ballot Nov. 6. Superior Court Judge James Dixon ruled that OFM has discretion under the law and that the legal tests were not met for him to order a revision of the statement for the voter pamphlet.
"For that reason, this petition simply fails, or must be denied as a matter of law," Dixon said flatly.
Eyman argued there is no cost and contended the OFM claim that as much as $33 million in toll revenue could be lost because the I-1185 removes the right of the Transportation Commission to set tolls was reckless. He contended that the state should have reused its fiscal-impact statement for I-1053 from 2010, which he said is the same as his new proposal.
But OFM, citing attorney general opinions, said the new measure would "re-set" the legislative vote requirement — or delegation of authority — for toll rates on state highways. So there would be a fiscal impact — although lawmakers could remedy it with a simple vote.
What it all means now is the Office of the Secretary of State can move ahead with printing voter pamphlets that include fiscal impact statements from OFM on ballot measures. And it means that Eyman, who is sponsor of I-1185 and its two-thirds vote requirement for Legislature-imposed tax increases, can get back to campaigning.
I-1185's committee has raised $1.3 million and spent $1.2 million of it just getting the measure onto the ballot. Major donations came chiefly from a group of special interests — including $400,000 from the Beer Institute in Washington, D.C., $110,000 from BP Oil in Chicago, $100,000 from Conoco Phillips in Washington, D.C., $50,000 from the Washington Restaurant Association, $45,500 from the Association of Washington Business and $20,000 from the Washington Farm Bureau — that want to block the chance of any new taxes.
Opponents' campaign committee, which is chaired by former state transportation secretary Douglas MacDonald, has raised just $25,000, all of it from the Service Employees International Union's state council.
Yet the whole initiative might be moot. The two-thirds requirement for taxes is already law in I-1053, but a King County judge has ruled that the restriction on the Legislature is unconstitutional. An appeal is headed to the state Supreme Court this fall.

UAE reviewing reduced legal age for driving
Abu Dhabi: The legal age for obtaining a driving licence is under examination for possible reduction, the Policies and Strategies Council at the Ministry of Interior revealed on Tuesday.
It is yet to be decided what will be the new minimum age limit for obtaining a driving licence. The decision regarding the reduction of the legal age limit will be taken within a legal and procedural framework that ensures public safety.
The decision will help families who are reliant on individuals aged less than 18 to do household errands.
The meeting also discussed various proposals, and terms and conditions, including having a close relative in the car with teenaged drivers. The council discussed some of the regulations that may accompany such a change, like the provision of a speedometer capable of regulating and monitoring the vehicle's speed.
The meeting was chaired by Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior.
The current minimum age for driving is 18 years, but people are allowed to apply for driving licences at the age of 17 years and six months so that they can obtain their licence when they turn 18.

Dell profits fall 33 per cent due to poor consumer sales
Needs to sell more servers quickly
TIN BOX FLOGGER Dell has revealed that it suffered a terrible start to its 2013 financial year, with profits falling 33 per cent to $635m.
Dell, which has been making a big push to become an enterprise server vendor in the past few years, announced that its revenues fell by four per cent to $14.4bn in the first quarter of its 2013 financial year. Its falling revenue was the most positive thing in its financial results, because its profits fell by 33 per cent to $635m.
Not only did Dell post a thumping decrease in profits, revenue from its traditional bread and butter consumer sales fell by 12 per cent to $3bn with operating profit of just $32m. Worse still for the firm were its EMEA and Americas revenue figures, where Dell saw revenue declines of one and seven per cent, respectively.
Even Dell's push into large enterprises, the firms that place orders worth tens of millions, has been checked somewhat, with the firm citing a three per cent decline in revenue in this area to $4.4bn. However its enterprise solutions and services department did its bit, showing a 17 per cent increase in revenue due to server and networking equipment sales.
Dell's poor performance in the consumer market was highlighted by its CFO Brian Gladden, who talked about how its enterprise business is a big part of its overall business strategy, saying, "Our enterprise solutions and services businesses now account for 50 percent of our gross margin, and we'll continue to make the necessary investments to maintain our progress."
Chairman and CEO Michael Dell continued on this line, saying, "We're committed to continuing our strategy to re-shape Dell's business as an end-to-end IT provider. We saw continued progress in our first quarter with the innovative IT solutions we're providing - notably our latest Dell servers, storage, networking and services that deliver customers enhanced productivity."
He didn't even mention Dell's now barely profitable consumer division that has been the firm's cornerstone for many years.
Dell's move to the enterprise is timely. Its tin boxes simply do not command high profit margins, as rival HP knows all too well. The problem for Dell is that its consumer business seems to be falling off faster than it can pick up enterprise business, which is making its financial results look slightly shaky. µ

Unless you were blessed with perfect natural hair color and grays never sprout from your head (i.e., you're one in a million), you probably color your hair. Just as likely? Color fading and chemical damage. Lock color in (see ya, premature fading) with this hair mask, which preserves your shade and keeps tresses soft and shiny for up to 40 days.
This is a great masque and smells great! It left my hair uber soft and shiny. However, there are other products that do the same for considerably less. Since this was a sample, I did not have enough to see the long-term effects on color-treated hair. That may be enough to warrant the price, but I can not say for sure.5
This is the best hair product I've used in a long time. I absolutely love it. It makes you hair so soft and smooth without weighing it down. I have really thin hair, so any product and conditioner tends to make my hair look very flat and greasy but not this one. I just really wish it was cheaper :(5
Well, the scent is divine, and you can actually tell for the next day even that the scent lingers in your hair & get whiffs of the scent when your hair moves periodically thru out the day. My hair did feel noticeably soft. It was a gel-like consistency. No damage repair seemed to have been performed, but that's okay, it was a foil packet. I DID notice that this item specifically is more expensive than my MDR mask that i've been using for the past 6-8 months, so I will not be purchasing at this time.5

"I think I have the perfect spot for you, Adam." Mary said with a smirk. "How pathetic are you? Just a little fucking bug. Don't you remember all of the stuff we used to do as kids together?" Adam knew where this was going and hoped that he wasn't right. "Adam, do you remember our sandbox?"
The sandbox. She went there, and Adam feared for his life even more. Back when Adam and Mary were younger, Adam used to have a sandbox in his backyard that he and Mary would play with while Mary and her parents visited. They would get the garden hose and wet the sand, making sandcastle and a moat for any castle they might build. One day when Mary and Adam were playing City with their sand castle building creations, Mary shrieked out, "Ugh! Disgusting little ants!" Ants had make a queue, marching right into the sandbox, not knowing that they had made a terrible mistake.
"Adam! Help me kill these little creeps!" She shouted and began to run and grab the hose. "Die you little pests!" She screamed and let the hose blast away any small, crawling critters that caught her eye. Even Adam got sprayed, Mary laughed and called him a little bug too. I guess she was right after all those years.
After a session of trying to drown them, Mary thought of an even better way to kill the ants. This is what Adam was afraid of. "Well Adam, I think I found a naughty little ant in my bedsheets. What should I do with this little ant that got away? Stay here.." Mary said as she pulled out a dirty sock from the laundry stack she had found Adam in and balled him up in his sweaty sock jail.
This had almost been a breeze, just not a good smelling breeze. After all that Adam had endured, having to inhale Mary's pungent smell was the least of his torture. He almost welcomed it. He wanted this, rather than putting up with any more of Mary's games.
Mary came bounding back into the room, he knew so from the small earthquakes her petite feet made on the hard wood floor. She picked up the sock jail, emptying the contents like a halloween candy bag, anxious to find what's inside. "Come with me Mr. Ant. Mary picked up Adam with both hands, blinding him in darkness as her hands cupped around him. Adam heard the sound of running water and felt the ground beneath him give out as he plummeted downward until her crashed, splashed, and submerged himself in an ocean of bathwater. Which was his perspective. In reality, Mary had filled the bathtub up with a little over an inch of water.
"Ugh! Ants!" She mocked as she began to act out another one of her sick fantasies.

Here it is. Almost the end I think. I know you all will hate to hear that but I'm running out of motivation. Anything I try to do new here is taken with such negativity that I don't see why it should continue. I'll hopefully finish the stories that are currently open and then work my way to ending the series one by one.

After the D&C, did anyone request to have their baby's tissue tested to see what might have happened?
Comments (9)
i did. we've been told we'll have the results back at our next appt march 24.
i'm not very optimistic though. i've read that only 5% of miscarriages after 10 weeks are due to chromosonal abnormalities (mine was discovered at 12 weeks but happened at 11), so i'm guessing it may not give us many answers.
i'm also going to ask about blood tests for my husband and myself at that appt. anything i can do to reduce the odds of this happening again........
I didnt with my first baby that I MC at 15 weeks, but after having the exact same scenario with this MC but only at 10 weeks, my doctor recommended testing on the placenta (since it was a missed MC the baby would not be a good sample) for chromosomal karotyping. From there we will see if DH and I need genetic testing. She is also gonna do testing on me for hormones, autoimmune and clotting disorders that may be causing the repeated MC.
With my mc in 2006, we did. We did find there was nothing genetically wrong with our baby girl.
With this recent stillbirth, we choose not to test. We did have a visual autopsy done, but nothing invasive. Since our loss was at 30 weeks, my docs, ran the whole gamut of tests on me. It turns out that I have 2 blood clotting disorders. I will find out more when I meet with my Dr for my post partum check up.
Chris-42 & Rob-43, DD-12, DD-5 & DS 20 months
Angel 2006, Angel Phoebe Caroline-30 weeks 2-17-10
I had a missed m/c at 8+ weeks that we found at 10+ weeks. (no signs at all that anything was wrong, no spotting, nothing)
We had the tissue tested and it came back w/ full (not mosaic) Trisomy 15, which is lethal. Although it was hard news, it did provide some closure.
hope this helps.

3 losses in 2010, Little Dictator arrived in 2011! My Chart

I also had a d&c at 12 weeks discovered at 11 weeks. they sent it in to get tested, but the said there wasn't enough cells to pull. So I got no results. Bummer.

My tissue was not sampled, but I did have blood tests a month after the D&C. They came back with a genetic problem called MTHFR. I have to go see a high risk OB to get more answers.
Married to Nate - 9-25-04
Mama to Ella - 1-2-07, Angel Baby 1-20-10, Lilah 1-14-11 (PRS)
I found out at 10 weeks my baby's heart stopped. I had the D&C the next day. They said my baby was missing #17 chromosome. Not sure what that means, but a baby can't survive 1 chromosome short. It helped us put closure to our loss. I was assured it wasn't my body. I was greatful since we might try again.
Although I find a great deal of comfort from this website, it's very sad to hear about how many pregnancies end in miscarriage. I am so sorry for all of you. It makes me appreciate what I have that much more.

35 Comments | Copyright: india-forums.com
Baa Bahu aur Baby: This is one show which has been unique right from its conception, and we are proud to say that it has stayed unique!! The weekend is treated by The Thakkars who entertain us with a meaning. The audience were indeed given a huge shock with Pravina's death, but the new arrivals in the form of Devki and Birju have set the show rolling again. The crispy masala of the Thakkar household is all set to entertain us as usual... We would just say that 'Hats off' to the creatives for not relenting to the usual melodramas we see for the other shows!
Champion Chalbaaz No.1: 'Wow' is what we can say here!! This show just started on Saturday, and it's already attracting many viewers. The judges, Cyrus Broacha and Sajid Khan, are both hilarious and the concept of the show is very interesting. We can't wait to see what the contestants do next to others, and what fun they have... definitely a fun-filled show to watch!
Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan: Although the family is full of sorrow from Suryakant's death, there is a possibility that he could still be alive. Lakshmi is now fighting for her own rights, and it seems like Dev and the sisters are winning against Pavitra... Although there are some setbacks, the show still seems to be moving on in terms of the 'vamps' of the show. We hope to see some happiness and for Pavitra to be caught soon!
Choona Hai Aasmaan: This week, Choona Hai Aasmaan was full of twists and turns, as everyone in the HAWKS have proof that the traitor is one amongst them. This caused a lot of different things to happen - Sameera almost wanting to quit the team, and Samrat having a huge anger outburst... but who is this "unfaithful HAWK"?? Hopefully viewers will find out this week, as the suspence continues to grow and grip the audiences!
Thumbs Down
Kasturi: To come or not to come was the question of this show in this section, but finally it made its way out here. The creatives don't know what they are showing and the audience don't know what they are watching. Kasturi wants revenge of her first husband Raunak from her current husband Robbie and her mother-in-law is dead sure to foil her sweet daughter-in-law's plans. Did that sound 'clichéd'? Did we hear it somewhere before? Have we seen it somewhere before? Yes we have, and that's why Kasturi is a Thumbs Down this week... please show us something fresh and new!!
Kumkum - Ek Pyaara Sa Bandan: Either the creatives of this show have lost their creativity or the audiences are not tired to see this 'so called' creativity. First Sharman married Sia, and now Neeti married Rahul -meaning that Neeti now became readymade mother of Rahul's two teenage girls... sounds confusing, doesn't it? And to worsen all of this, Sumit-Kumkum - the very lovable and adorable pair of Indian television - are not showing any signs of patch up. This show which is always packed with powerhouse performances, now seems to be deteriorating... please, bring it to a Thumbs Up!
Love Story: This show, although usually always interesting the viewers, is brought down to the Thumbs DOWN section of this week - however, it's not because it has stopped attracting the viewers. The Akash-Shruti is continued to being loved by all, but why are the Creatives slowly showing Dev as negative? His shades of grey are scaring us all, because we are so used to seeing him as a positive character all this time. Hopefully he isn't a negative character in the story!

[caption id="attachment_34866" align="alignright" width="300"] A number of Rohnert Park residents travel to Petaluma Health Center, pictured here, because Rohnert Park and Cotati, which have a high portion of uninsured, both lack public primary care options.[/caption]
ROHNERT PARK -- Petaluma Health Center plans to open a new facility in Rohnert Park focused on primary care and dental services, slated to open in spring 2015.
The new center, to be located on State Farm Drive, will serve both Rohnert Park and Cotati, according to an announcement from the federally qualified health center Tuesday. They are the only two cities in Sonoma County without a community health center, yet they have some of Sonoma County's highest rates of uninsured residents who are eligible for publicly subsidized health insurance but are not enrolled, officials said in describing the impetus behind pursuing the location.
The health center didn't specify an exact location of the new Rohnert Park center.
Petaluma Health Center's Rohnert Park facility will provide care to more than 10,000, with the goal of increasing access to quality primary care, mental health, and dental services to underserved community members.
"Improving access to prevention-focused primary health care services is crucial to improving overall health," said Chief Medical Officer Nurit Licht, MD, in a statement.
CEO Kathie Powell told the Business Journal that it had been in negotiations to lease about 35,000 square feet. It expects to serve some 5,000 residents in the first year and eventually reach up to 10,000 to 15,000.
About 5,000 existing patients of Petaluma Health Center already live in Rohnert Park and commute south to the center's main campus on North McDowell Boulevard, Ms. Powell said.
"And there are thousands more who we are signing up for the expanded Medi-Cal and Covered California exchange plans," she said. "The new site would have medical, dental, mental health, substance abuse, integrative medicine, pharmacy, optometry, and strong prevention (and) wellness.

My strong sense is that after the 100 percent plus growth in earnings and 80 percent sales growth to be reported in Q 1 2013 (May 13) and the management re-affirms the 1.61 guidance in the face of the recent Google renewal, (and new products and the accretive increments of new acquisitions), the market will take a second look at PERI. Consequently, giving it a reasonable multiple. For, even a 13 multiple, or about half in this space, will push PPS to 20 – 21 dollars territory. Looking out into 2014, the company is projected to grow earnings another 25 percent or total over 2 dollars per share. A PE at the growth rate puts PPS as high #$%$ 50 dollars. Suppose the market awards half the multiple, still you are looking at 26 dollars stock or one hundred percent profit twelve months hence.
At the cost of repeating my mantra of the last several months, the best investment strategy in PERI can be summarized in two words: BE PATIENT.
Because I have been recommending the stock since it hit a low of 8.25, sharing my conversations with the management verbatim, I suppose I have earned a modicum of credibility about the prospects of PERI . ☺
If you want MORE than a modicum of credibility, you probably shouldn't tell people you've only been in the stock a few months and think the corporate headquarters are in Redmond Washington.
me_gtc- Think I recognize you from QCOR board possibly?? Believe I recall some good posts from you but curious your motives here. Shaw has been pretty decent posting here for quite some time. Anyway... more input, less criticism...
From the website:
"Our main office:
15809 Bear Creek Parkway, Suite 320
Redmond, WA 98052"
Sentiment: Strong Buy
me_gtc, Shaw2kind has been long Peri way before we even heard of you on this board so stop pointing fingers of accusations and acting like a smart #$%$. He has contributed so many opinions about the direction of this stock that you can say he is 99% right.
technically speaking, it will be interesting to see if PERI blows right through $13.08 next week or forms a handle while consolidating before moving up again, that's assuming no negative news and the market cooperates.
Great info, thanks. PERI + PATIENCE = $$
