So...DVC finally sent me a postcard in the mail regarding buying into the Vacation Club. Do you think I should sign up for a seminar, or do you think it's worth it? Hmmmm....I'm so torn!!!
If you want to learn about DVC then sign up. :yes: It's not at all a hard ball pitch. They explain the program to you, give you a tour, and sometimes a little giftie (and sometimes not) and off you go. Can be a fun way to spend a few hours.
We've done it a couple of times and it's really fine. Not at all a hard sell and at the end, they normally give you a gift and take you wherever you want to go :)
We've also done a couple of other ones off-disney but from reputable places and wow, talk about hard sell :lol: Very lucky that I'm used to business negotiations and don't mind saying no because some of those places aren't letting you out unless you're very forceful!
Thankfully though the Disney program has nothing like that.
I couldn't go to one, I would sign up and buy one :D
I think I'm in the market is why I would want to go.
I just need to find out more info.
It's either become a DVC member or get a new car. :shrug1:
I know what my choice would be :D :lol: and it wouldn't be the car :lol:Quote:

No pressure at all.
If you're even asking about it here, your thinking about it enough to go. :yes:
Tom (:macwave:... just wish I could have afforded it back then!)
DVC is the better investment. ;)Quote:

I did sign up to go to a seminar in a couple weeks. I'll let you know what I think! :yes:

In just a few days, members of the energy industry will have an opportunity to come together to discuss intelligent energy initiatives and the keys to accelerating their transformation.

Smarter Rail Confidential
Noah Kuttler 110000SVNJ email@example.com Tags:  maximo kiwirail smarter-rail service-management integrated-service-manage... 1,755 Visits
The title to this blog is a nod to New Zealand born actor Russell Crowe and one of my favorite of his films, "LA Confidential."
Crowe, a naturalised Australian, was born a kiwi.
Kiwis. The birds. The fruit. The people. Are awesome.
This week, my favorite kiwi is by far our Smarter Rail customer; KiwiRail.
Tod, Jessica and Kevin put together a pretty awesome press release, "KiwiRail Selects IBM to Deliver Smarter Rail Network for New Zealand" on how KiwiRail is using "...asset management and advanced analytics services to improve the speed, safety, and reliability of rail service across 4,000 km of lines."
For us Americans, 4,000 km of track is about 2,485 miles. Which, as the crow flies*, is roughly the distance from New York city to San Francisco.
The thing that excites me about what KiwiRail is doing is that the management has an analytics portion to it with our Cognos business analytics software.
One of my previous roles at IBM was working on Business Intelligence marketing and I got to know the space pretty well. In talking with so many of our customers, it was the analytics that contributed to their ability to innovate and save time, money and reduce risk.
The combination of GBS services, Maximo software and Cognos for KiwiRail is going to be a huge win for the entire population of New Zealand considering how much of their economy is based on rail transport.
The take away here for our non-rail customers is to look at the Smarter Planet solutions that match your industry.
We cover a lot of ground with KiwiRail and their requirements. If we can do that for them, what can we do for you?
IBM is striving to develop solutions based around your industry and provide things, like Integrated Service Management in this case, to match your business objectives and help you achieve success in your industry.
Take a look at the IBM Smarter Planet website and the site we have devoted to Integrated Service Management for Industries and post comments below or reach out to your IBM sales rep and/or Business Partner (use the Business Partner Locator) and ask them to sit down and talk about it with you.

Recent IBM news on "Smarter Cities" is invoking fond memories of one of my favorite courses at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: Politics of design taught by Professor Langdon Winner. Some of my favorite discussions during this course focused on urban theory and planning and environmentally and ethically responsible innovations. A few of my favorite personal readings included:
The concrete connection between
While innovations and technologies always fascinate me, personally I'm most interested in the political, socio-cultural aspects of Palmisano's statement below:
"All the ways in which the world works come together in our cities. They are the proverbial melting pot -- not only for immigrants, but for systems, blending them together to engender new forms of commerce, of culture, of science, of life and of society. Which is why cities -- more than states, provinces or even nations -- are likely to be the crucible for human progress and evolution in the coming century."
Smart cities require smart people and deliberate thinking. How will

Tornado-Proof House Design Concept
Tornados and other natural disasters are the main concern for people who live in the areas where these occur often so a 10 Design studio created a concept of a tornado-proof abode that burries itself underground during tornado. Powered by hydraulic levers the house can move up and down to secure itself and its residents from the natural disaster.
This innovative technology would allow not only keep the house safe from damage but also keep it safe from wind and water thanks to a water tight seal. The futuristic design looks like a capsule on one leg which collapses to hide the house below the ground.
But while this design concept is in a prototype phase to make your house more tornado-proof make sure to build it with a reinforced concrete roof, strong internal support system, and thick walls, experts advice. If you already have a home that isn't really tornado-resistant you can create a safe room within it.

Additional Information
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.

Great Point and Shoot camera
This review is from: FUJIFILM FinePix Z20fd Ice Blue 10.0 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Pros: This is a great Point and Shoot Camera. I transitioned from a Nikon to this FujiFilm, and was impressed. While FujiFilm does lack the lens quality of the "top of the line" brands, the features you get in this camera more than make up for it. The Manual setting allows you to adjust ISO, and tinker with other settings, perfect for someone semi-interested in real photography but does not have the money for a SLR or D-SLR. (I'm not saying the image quality is that of an SLR, it's still a point and shoot camera). It's got enough features to keep a
Cons: One thing I've always disliked about any gadget is having a non-standard battery. Recently while on a day trip during vacation, the battery exhausted. You can't just buy a couple double-A's and get back to taking pictures. I had to put my camera away and wait until I was back near an outlet and my charger. Definitely a big CON for me. (The reason for the 4-star rating)
Other Thoughts: A great value. It does everything it says, comes with a LOT of features, produces great pictures indoors, outdoors, low light, etc.

Great Camera For The Price
This review is from: FUJIFILM FinePix Z20fd Ice Blue 10.0 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Pros: Small, very easy to use. This camera takes great closeups of flowers and even butterflies! It works well in low light situations-even got a good shot of the orange moon during the Calif fires. It fits in my purse and has never accidentally turned itself on. I wasn't looking for video, but it takes great video too! Absolutely a great deal for the price!
Cons: The supplied software installs Quicktime automatically and doesn't give you the chance to say no. It takes a tad longer than I'd like to snap the photo, but I just bought a faster card (SanDisk Extreme III 8GB) and have high hopes for quick shooting. I had to look in the manual to find the USB port - it's well hidden. Of course, my eyesight ain't what it used to be!
Other Thoughts: If you ask someone to take a pic for you, show them the button to press - one of my friends pressed the video button and didn't realize it. But, all of his *itching about the battery being dead and the camera not working is now recorded for posterity! I love this little camera and am very happy with it. It takes pictures comparable to or better than my Canon AE1 35mm 28/80 + macro. Highly recommend!

Great Camera - Great Deal
This review is from: FUJIFILM FinePix Z20fd Ice Blue 10.0 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Pros: Very small design that fits easily into my pocket. Picture clarity is fantastic. Camera has many features including rapid fire shooting. Rechargable battery lasts for quite a while before needing a recharge.
Cons: Like the previous review says. The lens placement is in an upper corner so finger shots are common. I guess it will just take a little adjustment to avoid that.
Other Thoughts: The feel of the camera is a nice sturdy, yet compact design.

pocket sized with good pictures
This review is from: FUJIFILM FinePix Z20fd Ice Blue 10.0 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
Pros: I wanted a camera that was small that I could carry in my pocket. It takes nice picture and is easy to use. It has many features with onscreen discriptions of when to use them.
Cons: The shutter lense is in the upper corner, when holding the camera with two hands you can take pictures of part of your finger easily. It takes getting used to for proper finger placement.
Other Thoughts: Colors of camera's are much brighter and better looking then the online pictures show.

Rathbone's movie debut was in the London-filmed The Fruitful Vine (1921). Tall, well profiled, and blessed with a commanding stage voice, Rathbone shifted from modern-dress productions to Shakespeare and back again with finesse. Very much in demand in the early talkie era, one of Rathbone's earliest American films was The Bishop Murder Case (1930), in which, as erudite amateur sleuth Philo Vance, he was presciently referred to by one of the characters as "Sherlock Holmes." He was seldom more effective than when cast in costume dramas as a civilized but cold-hearted villain: Murdstone in David Copperfield (1934), Evremonde in Tale of Two Cities (1935), and Guy of Gisbourne in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) (Rathbone was a good friend of Robin Hood star Errol Flynn -- and a far better swordsman). Never content with shallow, one-note performances, Rathbone often brought a touch of humanity and pathos to such stock "heavies" as Karenin in Anna Karenina (1936) and Pontius Pilate in The Last Days of Pompeii (1936). He was Oscar-nominated for his portrayals of Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet (1936) and the crotchety Louis XVI in If I Were King (1938). In 1939, Rathbone was cast as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles, the first of 14 screen appearances as Conan Doyle's master detective. He also played Holmes on radio from 1939 through 1946, and in 1952 returned to the character (despite his despairing comments that Holmes had hopelessly "typed" him in films) in the Broadway flop The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which was written by his wife, Ouida Bergere. Famous for giving some of Hollywood's most elegant and elaborate parties, Rathbone left the West Coast in 1947 to return to Broadway in Washington Square. He made a movie comeback in 1954, essaying saturnine character roles in such films as We're No Angels (1955), The Court Jester (1956), and The Last Hurrah (1958). Alas, like many Hollywood veterans, Rathbone often found the pickings lean in the 1960s, compelling him to accept roles in such inconsequential quickies as The Comedy of Terrors (1964) and Hillbillies in the Haunted House (1967). He could take consolation in the fact that these negligible films enabled him to finance projects that he truly cared about, such as his college lecture tours and his Caedmon Record transcriptions of the works of Shakespeare. Basil Rathbone's autobiography, In and Out of Character, was published in 1962.

Need a good reason to upgrade to Oracle Database? I'll give you seventy five!
By Margaret Hamburger-Oracle on May 20, 2013
A few times a year, I'm asked to update the Oracle Database Reference Booklet. Each time, the number of customers benefiting from upgrading to the Oracle Database grows. Read for yourself how an airline cut analysis time for travel partner bookings from 10 hours to 10 minutes, helping staff develop better informed partner sales and marketing strategies. Or how a bank completed their database upgrade without disruption to their day-to-day operations and minimized system downtime for more than 2 million customers, who expect around the clock services. Or how a manufacturing company saved an expected US$609,000 on storage hardware costs. These are just of few of the customer who improved performance, provided better service for their customers and saved money with the Oracle Database.
Need a good reason to upgrade to the Oracle Database? Look no further.

How to use new Fuji Firmware feature
Easy upgrade to new firmware for XE-1. I set the main FN button for ISO and the secondary one for Film Simulation mode (for now).
To use the secondary just tap the down arrow on the rear pad. If you hold the arrow you will open up the custom FN button in the menu. SO I would also say its a shortcut to access the menu as well if needed.

SEOUL, May 27 (Yonhap) -- South Korean banks are further turning their focus to the Asian market as squeezed profit margins and the economic slowdown at home are prompting them to find new sources of income, market watchers said Monday.
Local banks' move to tap the overseas market is not a new trend, but top lender Kookmin Bank and its three major rivals are ramping up efforts to make inroads into the Asian market where economic growth remains relatively solid, they added.
Top lender Kookmin Bank is aiming to provide tailored services to local residents and engage in project financing in overseas markets after expanding sales channels, officials added.
Kookmin Bank is preparing to open an office in Myanmar after recently getting the green light from regulators, they added. The bank also set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in China and opened an office in Beijing in 2012, bringing the number of its overseas units to 16.
No. 3 industry player Shinhan Bank is also seeking to raise the portion of overseas income to around 10 percent by 2015 from the current 6.3 percent, officials said.
Shinhan Bank is awaiting regulatory approval from the Indonesian authorities to take over a 40 percent stake in Bank Metro Express, officials said. Shinhan Bank has 65 overseas units including subsidiaries and offices.
Woori Bank said it is making efforts to strengthen overseas networks by nurturing employees who are equipped with communication and business skills. With 62 overseas operations in 17 nations, Woori Bank is targeting to grow into one of Asia's top 10 lenders by 2016.
No. 4 player Hana Bank added that it plans to increase the portion of its overseas assets to 10 percent of total assets by 2015. It also said that it is seeking to generate 15 percent of its net profit from overseas units by the same year.
The move came as local banks have already suffered from weak earnings in the first quarter as their profit margin has been on the decline amid the central bank's easing cycle.
South Korean banks' combined earnings fell 45 percent on-year to 1.8 trillion won (US$1.6 billion) in the first quarter as their interest income declined on the falling trend of interest rates, according to data by the Financial Supervisory Service.

BLOOMINGTON: Sheriff's deputies investigating shooting as attempted murder (UPDATE)
1 of 2More Galleries
Updates with CHP guarding Riverside office
A man was shot at his home in Bloomington early Wednesday, Feb. 26, an attack that led to the CHP guarding his office in Riverside.
The shooter was at large Wednesday.
The unidentified victim, an employee of the State Compensation Insurance Fund, was hospitalized after being shot in the 9700 block of Grace Street in Bloomington, San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said.
Someone called the Sheriff's Department about 5:30 a.m. to report that his son had been shot. The victim was awake and breathing at the time, Bachman said.
CHP officers guarded the office on Day Street in Riverside as employees entered and exited the building. The Insurance Fund is a quasi-state agency that sells worker's compensation insurance to businesses.
Insurance Fund spokeswoman Gina Simons said she had few details on the attack or who the shooter might have been. She said the agency requested the extra security.
"Out of an abundance of caution we wanted to look out for the safety of everyone," she said.
Detectives from the sheriff's Fontana station are investigating the attack.

0 Comments | Copyright: IANS
Mumbai, April 3 (IANS) Bollywood actor Rani Mukherji moved a petition in the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court Thursday, challenging the cancellation of her ownership of a piece of land in Maharashtra.
Rani's father Ram Mukherjee arrived in Aurangabad and furnished the necessary documents pertaining to the land deal before the registrar of the court.
The petition challenging the Shrirampur sub-divisional officer's (SDO) order directing her to surrender the land in Ningaonkovali village, on the border of Nasik and Ahmednagar districts, will come up for notice before the court Friday.
Nandkumar Suryavanshi, the SDO, said that earlier there was a sugar factory on the land that was subsequently closed. Since the factory had excess land, the government took it over in accordance with the Urban Land Ceiling Act (ULCA) and handed it over to the Maharashtra State Farming Corporation (MSFC).
As the land remained unused for a long time, the MSFC sold it to the original owner, a farmer who worked in a hotel in Shirdi town. From the farmer, Rani bought the plot in December 2005 for Rs.3.3 million.
However, when she applied for registration of the plot in her name, the revenue department refused permission and stressed that as it was an agriculture land, only a farmer could buy it.
The deputy collector of Ahmednagar district conducted an inquiry and Rani was asked to pay penalty for buying a farmland. Since the actress failed to pay the penalty, the Shrimanpur SDO ordered her name be deleted from the sale deed.
Suryavanshi told IANS that instead of going to the court, Rani could have availed of the options of either regularising the plot in her name at a reduced penalty or ask to reconsider the decision.
'But as per the ULCA, the penalty on her could not have been waived totally,' he said.
The actor's father Ram told the media in Aurangabad that Rani did not commit any irregularity in the land purchase.
'The deal was transacted as per the laid down procedure and the payment of the stamp duty. Rani was not the first person to purchase the land - it has changed hands at least six times before Rani bought it,' he said.
'The penalty imposed on her is totally unfair. Why did the objection not come up earlier? Is it because she is a celebrity, a Bollywood star? Would this ever have happened if any common man had purchased the land?' he added.

"The less known Bruxelles-Cap Region" Région de Bruxelles-Capitale by Norali
Région de Bruxelles-Capitale Travel Guide: 5,966 reviews and 12,957 photos
You are not aware of this but when you say "Brussels", you are probably referring to Brussels city or to Bruxelles-Capitale Region. Both are correct since the Region is so small that you are not even aware of that it comprehends 19 communes... and that the latter are worth a visit as well.
For instance, I use to say that I live in Brussels. That's true since my homeplace is Woluwé-Saint-Pierre, a commune in Region of Bruxelles-Capitale. Have a look at my hometown page!
Besides, actual configuration of the Region was defined in June 1989. On June 18, 1989, Brussels people elected their MPs so as to grant the region of same status as Wallonia and Flemish Regions.
19 communes in Bruxelles-Cap region are, in French and Flemish:
Anderlecht | Auderghem - Oudergem | Berchem-Ste-Agathe - St.-Agatha-Berchem | Bruxelles - Brussel | Etterbeek | Evere | Forest | Ganshoren | Ixelles - Elsene | Jette | Koekelberg | Molenbeek-Saint-Jean - Molenbeek-Sint-Jan | Saint-Gilles - Sint-Gillis | Saint-Josse-ten-Noode - Sint-Joost-ten-Node | Schaerbeek | Uccle - Ukkel | Watermael-Boitsfort - Watermaal-Bosvoorde | Woluwé-Saint-Lambert - Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe | Woluwé-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-Woluwe.
Official Languages: French and Dutch. You mainly hear French in the streets since 70-80% of Brussels population is "francophone" (French-speaking). Apart from that, you may hear at least Arab, African languages and languages of countries that are EU members... and off course, Dutch.
In winter: smell of waffles in Brussels center streets; hot chocolate in heated cafés; music in Rue des Tongres for / while Christmas shopping
In spring: cherry blossom and season opening as for terrasse sitting :-)
Season opening as for walks through forests and green areas.
It's the season I enjoy most to go to markets. Don't ask me why. I hate doing it in summer when it's crowded and sticky hot.
In my study years, hearing tennis rallies, from a tennis court near my house, while I studied for my June exams. Frustrating!
In summer: heat and very often rain accompanying sales month (july)... and evenings at Zizi and Aux délices de Capoue (ice-cream with Belgian speculoos). For that, see my Must-see activities tips in my Brussels page.
In autumn: frenzy atmosphere when people return from holidays. Shops are packed with scholars and their mums trying to buy scholar stuffs. One has to buy new autumn cloth as well. A bit of rain. Hot chocolate season starts.
Just to warn you: this page is mainly for travelogues that are more related to Bruxelles-Capitale region and not only to the Brussels commune. At the moment, I am thinking of posting here pictures of some events that cover the entire region. And think that this would be the only purpose of this page.
First, the cows...
- Pros:Good transportation means, multicultural, good food
- Cons:May seem messy for those who are not used to it..
- In a nutshell:19 communes that are worth discovering

MSI Launches Budget Haswell-Ready H81-P33 Motherboard
Subject: General Tech | August 25, 2013 - 07:09 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: msi, haswell, h81-p33, H81, atx
MSI recently launched its own Haswell-ready motherboard equipped with Intel's H81 chipset. Aimed at budget builds, the new MSI H81-P33 is a sub-$100 ATX board.
The H81-P33 features an LGA 1150 CPU socket and two DDR3 DIMM slots (32GB DDR3 1600 MHz maximum) fed by a 6-phase VRM. Below the CPU socket is a single PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot, two PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots, and three legacy PCI connectors. To the left of the PCI slots sit two SATA III 6Gbps ports and two SATA II 3Gbps ports. A USB 3.0 header sits at the bottom of the board.
Rear IO on the MSI H81-P33 includes:
- 2 x PS/2
- 4 x USB 2.0
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x VGA
- 1 x RJ45
- 3 x Analog audio jacks
MSI has not announced specific pricing or availability, but expect it to be under $100. It should be a good starting point for a budget Haswell build.
Quad GPU on the MSI Z87 XPower thanks to the PLX chip
Subject: Motherboards | August 13, 2013 - 06:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: msi, Z87 XPower, PEX 8747 PLX
MSI's Z87 XPower is a brilliant board to base a multi-GPU system on as it's 5 PCIe slots are capable of running two cards at 16x if you are not using the other three, for triple GPU you can manage 16x/8x/8x or even four slots at 8x if you go to the utter extreme thanks to the PEX 8747 PLX chip found on board. If you are only using one GPU you can choose the slot which avoids the PLX chip altogether to avoid the latency penalty it adds. A Killer NIC, MSI's Super RAID SSD caching, Multi-BIOS II, Debub LED, Go2BIOS, V-Check Points and Direct OC all add to the benefits you get from choosing this board. If the $440 price tag doesn't immediately scare you off check out the full review at [H]ard|OCP.
You can also check out Morry's indepth look at the slightly less expensive GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-OC Force right here.
"Higher end products are niche items which don't make a lot of sense for the vast majority of users. Even gamers and enthusiasts sometimes shy away from these products unless the feature set aligns with their needs, desires, and budgets. The feature-packed MSI Z87 XPower is a fine example of this high end motherboard category. "

MSI Launches MS-9A29 SFF Embedded Fanless PC
Subject: Systems | August 5, 2013 - 01:00 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF, msi, Intel, embedded, atom d2550
MSI recently launched the MS-9A29, which is a fanless small form factor (SFF) embedded PC. The new PC measures 196mm x 136mm x 43mm and weighs 1.2 kg. The MS-9A29 is encased in a small black chassis that is covered in fins to aid in passive cooling with the front and back banels hosting various IO ports.
Front IO includes four USB 2.0 ports and four COM ports. The back panel holds two RJ45 GbE jacks driven by two Intel 82583V NICs, one line out audio jack (Realtek ALC887 HD codec), two USB 2.0 ports, a single HDMI port, and one VGA port. Finally, the case provides two openings for antenna passthroughs.
Internally, the MSI MS-9A29 features an Intel Atom D2550 processor (dual core at 1.8GHz, 10W TDP), Intel GMA 3650 GPU (400MHz), a single DDR3 SO-DIMM slot (4GB maximum), and Intel NM10 Express chipset. The motherboard can be accessed by a removeable bottom panel on the case. The system supports one SATA drive, one mSATA drive, and two Mini-PCI-E cards. One mini-PCI-E slot can be used for a 3G SIM card adapter.
The SFF MSI MS-9A29 can be mounted to the back of monitors or on a wall. It supports Windows 7 and Windows XP and can output video to two simultaneous displays. It is aimed at kiosks, signage, POS, and industrial machines.
More information can be found on the MS-9A29 product page. However, the company has not yet released pricing or availability (expect it to be on the pricier side though as it is aimed at business/industrial users).
MSI GS70 Stealth Ultra Gaming Notebook

Tagged: msi, gs70, gaming laptop
Laptops have been evolving towards thin, light, efficient, and powerful... enough for web browsing and that is about it. The internet is a popular thing, go figure, and many manufacturers are nervous about marketing a laptop or tablet which does much beyond that. Razer took a bit of a gamble with their Blade and Edge line of laptops and tablets, respectively, but they have since shown promise.
Now MSI has not been a stranger to gaming laptops. While not as popular in North America, although they are gaining traction, they are experienced in this market. Perhaps bringing along Steelseries, a main competitor of Razer, might increase your chances? At the very least, you will probably have an epic keyboard.
The GS70 Stealth "ultra gaming notebook" combines an Intel 4th Generation Core i7 with an NVIDIA GTX 765M, up to 16GB of RAM, and a pair of SSDs into a 17.3" aluminum-magnesium alloy case. Also present, Creative Labs SoundBlaster Cinema audio and a Killer ethernet connection.
The SteelSeries keyboard is backlit in whatever color you desire. Each button has been rearranged in a unique order that I have yet to see; some keys, such as numpad 0 and right shift, to crush the number pad in with the main keyboard which effectively provides many of the benefits of a tenkeyless design.
A final note, albeit an important one, is their addition of multiple video outputs. Through "Matrix Display", three 1080p displays can be connected in addition to the built-in 1080p monitor. Certain users could set up a multi-monitor workstation at their desk for this laptop to dock into.
Check out MSI's press blast for more information -- except for the all important pricing and availability, those are currently unknown.
MSI Launches Factory Overclocked GTX 770 With 4GB GDDR5 Memory
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 17, 2013 - 05:58 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: msi, gtx 770, GK104, gk-104, gaming, factory overclocked, 4GB
MSI recently announced the GTX 770 Gaming 4GB which combines a factory overclocked GK-104 GPU with 4GB of GDDR5 memory and the company's Twin Frozr IV cooler on a custom PCB. This card joins the existing MSI GTX 770 with 2GB of memory in the company's GPU lineup.
Specifications the new graphics card include a GK-104 based GTX 770 GPU with a base clock of 1137 MHz and a GPU Boost clockspeed of 1189 MHz. This compares to the 4GB Zotac GTX 770's base and boost clockspeeds of 1059 MHz and 1098 MHz and to the reference NVIDIA GTX 770's 1046 MHz base and 1085 MHz boost. In short, the upcoming MSI card is one of the fastest-clocked models with 4GB of memory. Unfortunately, that 4GB of GDDR5 does not come factory overclocked, and is instead left at the stock 7 GHz clockspeed.
Further, the MSI card is cooled by the company's Twin Frozr IV cooler. This HSF features two 100mm fans that cool an aluminum fin stack. In turn, that fin stack attaches to the GPU block via five heatpipes. There is no backplate, but the card does have a reinforcing plate between the PCB and cooler (which also, likely, helps dissipate a small bit of the heat generated by the VRMs and RAM).
The card is essentially the same card as the existing 2GB version, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The model number on the 4GB card is N770 TF 4GD5/OC. MSI has not released pricing or availability, but expect it to be around $430 and up for grabs later this summer.
More photos of the upcoming 4GB GTX 770 GPU can be found over at TPU.

MSI's Z87-GD65 Gaming is a brilliant board at a reasonable price
Subject: Motherboards | July 15, 2013 - 06:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z87-GD65 GAMING, z87, msi
At just under $200 the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming offers great value and performance for someone building a Haswell based system. It has all of the current features you expect from a high end board from MSI such as OC Genie 4, Military Class 4 components, super ferrite chokes, Hi-C Capacitors, Dark Caps and a Killer NIC. [H]ard|OCP was also very glad to see the end of MSI's ClickBIOS and were much happier with the new UEFI BIOS that MSI is using on their new boards. With three PCIe 16x slots you can utilize multiple GPUs and 10 SATA 6Gbps ports ought to satisfy almost any user. It picked up a Gold Award from [H] and you can see why in the full review.
If you missed Morry's review of this board you can get it right here.
"MSI's GAMING series is back with an all new entry. The Z87-GD65 GAMING is certainly a promising contender and is one of the more unique offerings we've seen from MSI. We liked the last GAMING board we looked at, and we have liked all previous GD-65 series motherboards, hopefully this followup entry can measure up."

Another Wrench – GeForce GTX 760M Results
Just recently, I evaluated some of the current processor-integrated graphics options from our new Frame Rating performance metric. The results were very interesting, proving Intel has done some great work with its new HD 5000 graphics option for Ultrabooks. You might have noticed that the MSI GE40 didn't just come with the integrated HD 4600 graphics but also included a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M, on-board. While that previous article was to focus on the integrated graphics of Haswell, Trinity, and Richland, I did find some noteworthy results with the GTX 760M that I wanted to investigate and present.
The MSI GE40 is a new Haswell-based notebook that includes the Core i7-4702MQ quad-core processor and Intel HD 4600 graphics. Along with it MSI has included the Kepler architecture GeForce GTX 760M discrete GPU.
This GPU offers 768 CUDA cores running at a 657 MHz base clock but can stretch higher with GPU Boost technology. It is configured with 2GB of GDDR5 memory running at 2.0 GHz.
If you didn't read the previous integrated graphics article, linked above, you're going to have some of the data presented there spoiled and so you might want to get a baseline of information by getting through that first. Also, remember that we are using our Frame Rating performance evaluation system for this testing – a key differentiator from most other mobile GPU testing. And in fact it is that difference that allowed us to spot an interesting issue with the configuration we are showing you today.
If you are not familiar with the Frame Rating methodology, and how we had to change some things for mobile GPU testing, I would really encourage you to read this page of the previous mobility Frame Rating article for the scoop. The data presented below depends on that background knowledge!
Okay, you've been warned – on to the results.
Continue reading our story about GeForce GTX 760M Frame Rating results and Haswell Optimus issues!!

Rumor: MSI Readies Budget GCN-Based Radeon HD 7730 Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 5, 2013 - 10:19 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: R7730, msi, graphics card, GCN, 7730
If rumors hold true, consumers may be greeted with a new AMD Radeon graphics card today, in the form of a Graphics Core Next (GCN) based HD 7730. According to the leak by Videocardz, MSI will be launching a new card based on this budget GPU called the R7730-1GD5V1. It will use a shrouded fan and heatsink cooler with the company's propeller blade fan technology. Afterburner support and solid capacitors are also features of the MSI card that is rumored to use this new GPU chip. Video ouptuts include one DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort connector.
The HD 7730 GPU itself is based on the same basic Cape Verde chip as the existing HD 7750 and HD 7770 GPUs. However, the HD 7730 has fewer stream processors. Specifically, the 7730 will use 384 stream processors clocked at 800 MHz. It will be paired with 1GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, with the memory clocked at 4.5 GHz. For comparison, the HD 7750 features 512 stream processors clocked at 800 MHz along with 1GB of GDDR5 at 4.5GHz.
This new chip will not be as fast as the similarly-clocked HD 7750, but it will also be cheaper and use less power as it is able to get all of its power from the PCI-E bus (no PCI-E power cable from the PSU required).
The MSI HD 7730 graphics card is rumored to launch sometime today for 70 Euros, or about $90 USD. (At least we will not have long to wait to see if the rumors are true!)

BORING. This flash doesn't work because...
Dude, you NEED a PROBLEM for a good story to work. Something for the audience to look at and go, "i wonder how this problem will get resolved?"
Without that, the story sucks. Mildly pretty animation doesn't get you anywhere, man.
Try harder next time.
PS: You did a nice job w/ the anime copying. It seemed like an anime.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I liked it
A bit of a "girl's" story so far, but it was interesting, though as with almost every creature in anime-ish films, i can't stand the animals making weird noises performed by humans, its just blah.
otherwise i liked the show.

King David's Genes
Epstein, Nadine, Moment
Three thousand years ago, tradition says the prophet Samuel anointed a lowly shepherd named David king of Israel. A warrior who could defeat Goliath and write love psalms, David managed to pull the quarreling Jewish tribes together into one nation and then ruled a kingdom that today remains the heart of Jewish claims to the land of Israel. Living from approximately 1040 to 970 BCE, he had at least one daughter and 22 sons, and amassed enough wealth and power for one of those sons, Solomon, to build the Temple in Jerusalem.
Male descendants of King David ruled Israel until the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem in 597 BCE, and Jews scattered. Some managed to stay in Palestine, others fled to Egypt, but the victorious Babylonians took most of the nesi'im--the princes of the Davidic line--to Babylon. There, the King David line continued: Princes of the House of David were appointed by religious leaders to govern the Jewish community. This person was called Rosh ba'gola, which translates as "head of the exile" or exilarch. Fraught with behind-the-scenes political infighting, the position survived the Arab conquest of Baghdad but came to an end when the last exilarch, Hezekiah, was imprisoned and tortured to death in 1040 CE.
Descendants of the exilarchs and other nesi'im fanned out across Mesopotamia, the Levant, Egypt and the Mediterranean basin in search of new lands in which to practice their faith. Some stayed in Spain, Portugal and Italy, and from there migrated to Europe. Like other Jews, they followed varying routes to modernity, separating into Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mlzrahi and other groups. Some families, especially rabbinic ones, kept careful track of their pedigrees, passing the tradition of royal descent from generation to generation. But through the centuries, plagued by perennial migrations and persecution, the vast majority of King David's descendants, a number estimated to be in the millions, lost knowledge of the line ...
Susan Roth discovered her family's lineage through a chair. Not any chair, but the hand-carved chair of Rebbe Nach-man, the 18th century founder of the Breslover Hasidic sect in the Ukraine.
Her parents were actors who had kit their pasts behind. Her father, the well-known Yiddish actor Pesach "Peishachke" Burstein, had run away from home as a teenager to join a traveling East European theater troupe, and her equally well-known mother Lillian, had been raised in Brooklyn disconnect-ed from her family's East European history. Her mother's grandmother, Rivkah Rabinovitch, had immigrated to New York but was traumatized by pogroms and rarely spoke of the past. Pesach's parents had been murdered in a pogrom, so Susan and her twin brother Mike, who grew up performing alongside their parents, knew little of their ancestry.
Her brother went on to become the famous Israeli actor Mike Burstyn, but Susan, a diminutive, energetic blond with a flair for the dramatic, left the theater at age 19 and married Michael Roth and became Orthodox. In 1997, when asked to participate in a film about her parents (The Komeidant, which would go on to win the Israel Academy's award for best documentary in 2000), she was hesitant. She agreed on the condition that the producer and director would arrange for her to see the chair of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. The chair, revered as a holy relic by Breslovers because of its connection with their founder, had been brought from Ukraine to Israel and lovingly refurbished. It was kept in the men's section of the Breslov synagogue in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim.
"They did it!" she says, "they carried it up to the women's section, which had never been done before. I spent an hour with the chair and then I went down and talked to the head of Breslov. He asked me why the chair was so important to me." She told him that the only thing she knew about her family's history was that her great-grandmother Rivkah's grandfather or great-grandfather had been Baruch, the shochet (ritual slaughterer) of the town of Tiplik, and that he had carved Rebbe Nachman's chair. …

Sully's Sexism: Andrew Sullivan's Masculinist Worldview
It is puzzling indeed that it is the Weekly Standard's William Kristol who has earned the appellation "Always Wrong" from the snarkosphere. As far as being persistently, punishingly, jaw-droppingly wrong on issue after issue, for year after year, Kristol has nothing on the likes of Andrew Sullivan.
Sullivan, whose popular blog, The Daily Dish, runs on the website of the Atlantic, has exhibited stunningly bad judgment for well over a decade. To run through just a few of his greatest hits: in 1994, while editor of the New Republic, Sullivan ran a lengthy excerpt from the Bell Curve, the discredited and toxic polemic which argues that innate racial IQ differences account for the achievement gap. (To this day, he's "proud" of having done so.) Also while editor of TNR, he ran Betsy McCaughey's dishonest attack on the Clinton health care plan – an article which is said to have been partially responsible for the defeat of ClintonCare. (As a result, the great James Fallows nominated McCaughey for his coveted "most destructive effect on public discourse by a single person" award.) In 2001, in the wake of the 9/11, Sullivan charged that American liberals "may well mount . . . a fifth column," and side with the terrorists. He was a zealous supporter of the Iraq war, and heaped abuse on those who dared to disagree with him. For the past two years, he has fanned the flames of Trig Palin birtherism, frantically and fanatically claiming that Sarah Palin is not the mother of her child. Even his predictions regarding the Obama presidency have turned out laughably off-base. In a 2008 Atlantic cover story, Sullivan argued that an Obama presidency would end the racial and cultural wars that have divided this country.
We see how well that has turned out.
But the purpose of this post is not merely to bring to light the myriad mess-ups that Sullivan is responsible for – I'm not attempting to write a (longer) Moby Dick here. Rather, I wish to point out another disturbing element of Sullivan's thinking: his equation of all that is venal and corrupt with the feminine, and his worshipful view of all that he associates with masculinity. His is a Manichean worldview that is as simple-minded as it is sexist.
Let us begin with Sullivan's contemptuous view of the feminine – and his concomitant hatred of some very powerful women. Take his attitude towards Hillary Clinton. In 2007, and 2008, as Clinton was mounting a run for the White House, Sullivan's blog was a hotbed of inflammatory and derogatory rhetoric aimed at the then-New York Senator. He charged that Hillary Clinton had "betrayed feminism" which occasioned the American Prospect's Dana Goldstein to ask, "who stepped down and named Andrew Sullivan king of feminism?" In extraordinarily condescending fashion, he lectured women and feminists that "it's time feminists realized that Clinton is a dream gone sour . . . One day, there will be a woman worth electing to the White House. But not this one." And it hardly escaped notice that the pictures he chose to run of Mrs. Clinton were always highly unflattering, either showcasing her wrinkles, or using shadows and darkness to make her appear almost demonic.
His attitude towards Sarah Palin would require a book-length treatment in itself, but here, at the very least, is a representative post. Famously, Sullivan has been ferocious in arguing that Palin is not actually the mother of her child. On his blog, weeks were spent consumed with the subject, and he continues to flog that horse to this day. Indeed, the real question Dana Goldstein should ask is, "who stepped down and named Andrew Sullivan Sarah Palin's OBGYN?" While Sullivan is clearly a highly emotional man, prone to fits of passion, he has never displayed the kind of scorn and hatred for men that he does regularly for women like Clinton and Palin. He also applies a double standard to lesbian women: while on the record as an opponent of outing closeted gays, he nonetheless demanded a public accounting of the sexual orientation of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.
Conversely, all that Sullivan sees as good, he portrays in hyper-masculinized language. Take his frequent use of the term "balls." He champions the "fiscal balls" of Chris Christie. He celebrates April Fools, with "bigger balls." In complementing the journalist Spencer Ackerman, he gushes that "Spencer is a good person, dedicated to real investigative journalism and with more balls and capacity for hard work than most of his peers." And he says that members of the Journolist mailing list are "devoid of any balls whatsoever." Apparently, to Sullivan, virtue is equated with the posession of testicles. And Sullivan writes in near worshipful terms of virtuous, masculinized men. Of Reagan: "his visionary focus [was] matched only by a gentleness of character and a brilliance of rhetoric," of Obama, "he's the best thing we've got." Even women sprout balls when they agree with Sullivan. He says that Maggie Gallagher "has balls." ("In a good way," he hastens to add.)
This is merely the tip of the iceberg; Sullivan's blog posts upwards of twenty items a day, and in attempting to follow Sullivan's vacillations, wild swings of opinion, and overheated rhetoric, one is liable to contract whiplash. But, suffice it to say, the same pattern is clear — the gender-bifurcated worldview is the one constant of the Daily Dish.
Many of Sullivan's acolytes like to point out that he has apologized for some of the colossal errors of judgment that he has made in the past. The Iraq War is an example: he has publicly declared that he was mistaken to support the invasion.
But in what terms did Sullivan apologize? "I supported the war in Iraq like a teenaged girl supporting the Jonas Brothers," he has said. Ah, of course: according to Sullivan, supporting the Iraq war was the girly thing to do.

The Major Histocompatibility Complex and Primate Behavioral Ecology: New Tools and Future Questions

Since the serendipitous discovery of the effect of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on mate choice in laboratory mice nearly 40 yr ago, there has been sustained interest in the role that MHC genes may play in vertebrate sexual behavior. However, the challenges posed by MHC genotyping have long hampered progress in this area. We briefly introduce the documented links between MHC and behavior, before presenting an overview of the genotyping methods that were available before the introduction of new sequencing technologies. We then clarify why next-generation sequencing represents a major breakthrough in MHC genotyping by reviewing the recent successes —and pitfalls— of pioneer studies applying these techniques, before envisioning their revolutionary implications for future MHC studies in evolutionary ecology and primatology. We hope that our practical guidance to the design of MHC-based projects will promote and facilitate the integration of a MHC component into the research agendas of primatologists.

Sadie Jones (Moore) has always longed to marry the man of her dreams in her family church. Though she found her lifetime companion in Ben Murphy (Krasinski), Sadie is distressed to learn that St. Augustine's has only one wedding slot available over the next two years. While Sadie and Ben do qualify for the slot, charismatic St. Augustine's minister Reverend Frank (Williams) won't wed the couple until they agree to attend his two-week prenuptial course. Now, as their wedding date draws near, Sadie and Ben must attend every one of Reverend Frank's exhausting classes and complete a series of rigorous homework assignments designed specifically to test their dedication to one another and ensure that their union will have a sound foundation. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
