Blinker light fluid? What? Are you trying to say you disagree? Because plain old English would make more sense.
I don't quite get what you are trying to say regardless. I can only confer that you are saying AMD should be even cheaper, since AMD themselves advertises as a more budget friendly platform.

BAHBAHBAHBAHROOOWW....Cheeeelllll. The joke I made, at the time I thought of it, was intended that you really don't know what you're talking about. Intel does not make video cards, they just integrate a GPU (Graphics Processor Unit) with some of their CPU's (Central Processing Unit). Now I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, that you meant AMD and NVIDIA (Which they don't even make cards per say, just the GPU chipset), but only because I'm an awesome guy like that.

Ooohhh. I have never heard that as an insult before. Usually someone would just say "You're retarded."
Until an Intel can be overclocked by the average person in a more user friendly manner, my votes always gonna be AMD. I have my 1100t locked in at a comfy 4.4 stable, and I am happy with it.
The big ting people seem to forget is that beyond a certain level, CPU power doesn't matter. Whether you drive a Corvette or a Ferrari, if all you are doing is going to buy groceries, you won't notice a difference.

SUBMITTED: Monday, October 10, 2005POSTED: Monday, October 10, 2005
A U.S. district court judge has stopped the allegedly illegal practices of an Internet kiosk business opportunity and frozen the assets of the companies and their principals, following Federal Trade Commission charges that their income claims were deceptive and their location- assistance offers were false.
The FTC names as defendants Transnet Wireless Corp. and its president Bradley Cartwright; Nationwide Cyber Systems, Inc. and its president Farris Pemberton; and Paul Pemberton, who directed day-to-day operations at the companies, which are based in Florida.
The FTC will seek to permanently ban them from selling business opportunities, barring them from violating the FTC Act and the Commission's Franchise Rule.
The defendants told consumers they could use the kiosks to start their own business, promising them a substantial income and help finding high-traffic, high-volume profitable locations for the machines, according to the FTC.
According to the FTC, consumers typically lost the money they invested, and the defendants rarely, if ever, delivered the terminals to profitable locations.
The machines sold were public access Internet terminals, mounted computers that accepted payment in exchange for access to the Internet that could be placed in public areas. The defendants ran television and radio ads selling the terminals, making claims like, "You simply receive a monthly check for all the wireless revenue generated at your location . . . There is unlimited income potential. . . Prime locations are available now." The ads then provided a toll-free number to call for more information, according to the FTC.
Over the phone, salespeople made additional false claims, according to the FTC. Salespeople made claims such as, "a 142% return on investment in the first year," "locations include convention centers, military bases, hotels, malls, hospitals -- high-traffic, high-volume locations," and that $1,000 to $2,000 per month per kiosk could be expected in revenue. In many cases, buyers were told the machines would be delivered to the location within two weeks to 45 days after purchase.
Customers paid from $10,000 to $15,000 for one kiosk, up to $100,000 for multiple kiosks. Their terminals, however, were rarely, if ever, delivered and installed in profitable areas. In many cases, the terminals consumers bought were never delivered at all. And, when terminals were delivered, it was hardly ever within the promised time period, according to the FTC.
Although the defendants did supply the required disclosure document for franchises, it was missing crucial information, including criminal charges against one officer, the names and addresses of consumers who had bought into the business venture, and any information about how long it would take to place a terminal. Finally, the FTC claimed that the defendants had no support for the earnings claims they made. Typically, buyers lost their entire investment.
The complaint also named Margaret Pemberton as a relief defendant -- someone who is not accused of wrongdoing, but has allegedly received ill-gotten gains and does not have a legitimate claim to them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Warwick law students 2006
|Posted on
Thought I would ressurect this thread, given that every other section at Warwick have there own thread.
Anyone read any of the books on the reading list (though admittedly, it's not compulsory)?
I noticed that the 'How to Study Law' book that was recommended was contributed to by two Warwick professors.
I actually went to a library the other day to check out the Law books...but sadly most of them were area-specific. I couldn't find any of those "Introduction to Law" book types...

D'you reckon we could actually learn anything from his novels? Like, seriously.
omg and mikes you are a drummer? *grins*

I am not sure whether you would learn anything from those books, the ones recommend seem to be rather basic but important reading for any new undergraduate.

Focus Stocks
HSBC Is Close to Resistance
Published on Monday, 11 February 2013 07:52 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, February 11th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HBC) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $57.37. The stock ended the trading session at just $56.76, which is near levels that make it difficult to buy or start a position.
HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HBC) is the holding company for the HSBC Group. The Financial firm provides a variety of international banking and financial services, including retail and corporate banking, trade, trusteeship, securities, custody, capital markets, treasury, private and investment banking, and insurance. The Group is headquartered in London and operates worldwide. The firm is the largest lender in Europe and one of the largest banking institutions worldwide, with the most emerging markets exposure.
HSBC's stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $47.21 and by the resistance level at $57.37; the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it harder for participants to establish fresh longs.
Traders don't have a clear entry point for HSBC. However, as the stock pulls back towards $47.21 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand, if the stock breaks above its resistance level at $57.37 then traders will get an opportunity to enter the stock as it moves to a higher range.

If a beekeeper's doing their job, then you'll never know about them. It means the bees haven't escaped to wreak havoc on the local playground, and there's no honey shortage on the local grocery shelves. Look at it this way: if you're suddenly famous for keeping bees, something's gone horribly, horribly wrong.
That said, there have been many famous people in history who aren't known for keeping bees, but are known and did keep bees. (Still following?) Ever hear of Ben Franklin? Thomas Jefferson? How about Pythagoras (a.k.a. The Theory Guy)? All of them kept bees at some point or another in their lives.
So while you may not get your fifteen minutes from maintaining hives, it seems, at least, that you'll be among lofty company. Who knows, maybe you'll get famous for something else entirely, and then join a similar list on the beekeeping career guides of the future.

I'm using your theme for a personal/resume website. I looked through tons of free and premium themes and this one is great. It's very professional and clean looking. My only problem is with creating a custom menu and changing the fonts.
When I create a custom menu under Appearances->Menu it's changing the color of the menu to orange and all of the buttons are running into each other so it looks like 'About MeResumePortfolioContact'. I like the look of the menu when the menu is default but then it changed my 'About Me' page to read 'Home', which I don't want.
The second thing is the font when I'm using the WP Resume plugin. I don't know if this is an issue with the plugin or the theme, but I'd like to change the font on this. The fonts are fine for the rest of the site. If it helps my site is benpicton.com

A trip to Italy may not feel complete without a visit to a world-famous art museum or a stroll through a field of Roman ruins, but there's a side of Italy that's beyond what the typical "culture vultures" have on their itineraries. Italy is an excellent destination for adventure travelers, too.
For as much as Italy travel guides focus on the cities, there's quite a bit of Italy that's ideal for a variety of outdoor activities, no matter what the season. Fair weather visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, horseback riding, sailing, road cycling, hang gliding, and snorkeling, just to name a few. In the winter, this mountainous country becomes a haven for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. Whether your trip includes all adventure activities or a mix of food, culture, and adventure, there are undoubtedly tours to suit you. This is especially true if your preferred activity would require a bunch of gear that you don't want to haul to Italy yourself – signing up for a tour means all the gear is provided, and all you need to do is show up.
Here are a few of the Italy adventure travel ideas you may find appealing:
Horse Riding in Chianti Day Trip from Florence – Spend a day out of the Renaissance capital of Florence, exploring the picturesque Tuscan countryside on horseback. The slow pace gives you a chance to truly soak in your surroundings, and the one-hour small group ride takes you through vineyards, after which you get to sit down to a Tuscan meal and wine tasting.
Tuscany Bike Tour from Florence – What better way to work up an appetite for a typical Tuscan lunch than by riding a bike through the surrounding hills? This small group tour guides you to Chianti from Florence with a stop at a wine estate for wine and olive oil tastings, as well as a stop for a hearty lunch. The pace is relaxing, but getting there under your own power totally justifies that extra helping of pasta.
Panoramic Bike Tour of Rome – Not all outdoorsy activities happen in the Italian countryside. You can explore the cities in an active way, too, with things like this 4.5-hour bike tour of Rome. This particular tour highlights all the best viewpoints in the city – and since it's built on seven hills, you know you're going to get in a little bit of a workout!
Guided Hike in Tuscany with Transport from Siena – This private guided full-day hike sets out from Siena and winds through Chianti vineyards and the Tuscan hills. You'll visit the ancient walled town of San Gimignano and walk along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, and your picnic lunch comes with a view overlooking vineyards and olive groves.
Dolomites Day Trip from Milan – From the bustling city of Milan you can escape for a full-day trip to explore the majestic Dolomites. This tour isn't a hiking trip, but it gets you out into the fresh mountain air and gives you a chance to see some of the area's natural attractions. You may just be intrigued enough to plan a return trip to hike through these gorgeous mountains, too.

'1 teen death by suicide is too many'
Bullying by another girl at school was the catalyst that led an Orange County high school sophomore to want to end her life, but the underlying causes were much more complicated.
The girl, whose name is not being revealed to protect her anonymity, has a psychiatric disorder. She is on medication, has an individualized education program (IEP) at school, a therapist and a case manager. Both of her parents are mental health professionals, so her condition is well monitored.
And yet, no one — including her mother and father — had any idea of the depth of the pain and distress caused by her illness until the escalation of the trouble at school.
On a particularly upsetting day, the girl told the school nurse that she was going home to take an overdose of her medication.
The school immediately called her family, who took her to a local emergency department. From there, she was evaluated and admitted to a mental health hospital that treats adolescents and teens. The girl stayed in the hospital for several weeks and was able to open up with staff about her despair.
"I was told she had wanted to die for quite a while," her mother said recently. "She would have gone through with her plans. I had no clue whatsoever that she was so sad and felt this way."
Her daughter is now "better, but not 100 percent," she said. "I have my moments when I wonder. It's very scary to realize your child doesn't want to be alive."
The family shared their story in hope of reaching out to other adolescents and teens who might think that death by suicide is the only way out of whatever pain or troubles they may be experiencing.
She said she thinks her child may not have truly comprehended the finality of her plan.
"They're so young," she said. "I don't think they understand that. I don't think she really thought it through, that she'd be dead. Dead."
It's a timely message for our area. In Orange County alone this year, two Monroe-Woodbury high school students have died by suicide, within days of each other. Another student in that district attempted suicide around the same time.
Add to that the fact that death by suicide sometimes goes unreported as the official cause of death, said Maria Idoni, director of the Hudson Valley chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
"It could be listed as a drug overdose, or a single-car accident," she said, "but we don't know if it was intentional."
Fact Box
According to experts, teens are more likely to consider death by suicide if they have some of those factors:
• Previous suicide attempt or gesture
• Family history of suicidal behavior
• Feelings of hopelessness or isolation
• Psychiatric disorders or mental illness
• Substance use or abuse
• Life stressors such as interpersonal losses, and legal or disciplinary problems
• Physical abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Sexual orientation (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, questioning)
• Juvenile delinquency
• School or work problems
• Contagion or imitation (the suicide of a friend or exposure to media reports of suicide)
• Chronic physical illness
• Living in isolation
• Access to lethal means such as firearms or medication
• Impulsive behaviors
• Homelessness
Some youths in minority or marginalized groups have an increased risk of suicide.
Source: Centre for Suicide Prevention
Teenagers facing challenges
Several mental health professionals recently weighed in to discuss this topic and the communitywide efforts under way to help prevent teen suicide.
Today's youth face myriad challenges, acknowledged Chris Ashman, commissioner of the Orange County Department of Mental Health.
Many return to empty homes after school as most parents work, especially in these difficult economic times. There is relatively easy access to drugs and alcohol, increased bullying in schools and abuse in some homes and relationships. Add to that the isolation brought on by the overuse of so much social media.
Even so, Ashman was careful to point out that these stressors will not cause most kids to even consider death by suicide.
"The sky is not falling," he said. "Most kids are fine."
In fact, 90 percent of all people who die by suicide have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder at the time of their death, according to the AFSP.
Fact Box
If you (or someone you know) are feeling depressed, hopeless, sad, lonely, or considering death by suicide, help is available:
• Call 911 if you are in imminent danger.
• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-TALK (bilingual)
• Helpline: 800-832-1200. A 24/7 hotline offered by the Mental Health Association in Orange County Inc. that offers crisis intervention, information, emotional support and referrals. Use 346-HELP if calling from outside Orange County.
• Adolescent Suicide/Crisis: 800-621-4000
• Text 4 Teens: 391-1000; available Fri., Sat., and Sun. from 5 p.m.-midnight
• Dial 211: A free, confidential, multilingual, health and human services information and referral telephone service that covers seven local counties.

Third leading cause of death
But for American youths age 15-24, according to the organization, death by suicide is the third leading cause of death.
"One teen death by suicide is too many," said Carol Chichester, executive director of the Orange County Youth Bureau.
Nationally, 1 out of 14 high school students has had thoughts of suicide, said Angela Turk, director of Children Services at the Orange County Department of Mental Health.
"Every two hours and 15 minutes," she said, "someone under the age of 25 dies of suicide." Risk factors for death by suicide by youth, according to the AFSP, include suicidal thoughts, psychiatric disorders (depression, impulsive aggressive behavior, bipolar disorder and certain anxiety disorders), drugs and/or alcohol abuse, and previous suicide attempts.
The risk increases, according to the organization, with situational stress and access to firearms. Compounding the problem, said Darcie Miller, the Orange County Department of Mental Health's deputy commissioner, is the fact that the underlying mental illness often responsible for these deaths is still somewhat shrouded in shame and embarrassment.
"Get kids treated for their symptoms," she advised parents. "It's OK to acknowledge that you need some extra help."
Education on prevention is being spread, said Ashman, throughout local communities, in schools, places of worship, on sports fields and youth organizations — wherever kids "touch down."
"Do we know who they are?" he asked. "What are we doing to help them?"
Resources are essential
It is crucial, the professionals said, that adolescents and teens know where to turn for help if they're in crisis.
One useful resource, called Text 4 Teens — funded by the Orange County Youth Bureau and Orange County United Way — is run by the Mental Health Association in Orange County Inc., which also offers a 24-hour crisis hotline.
Two years ago, Anna Lemmerman, the association's community relations manager, noticed that the hotline was not getting many calls from teens. Texting, she realized, was the way to enable kids to reach out for help.
"Their principal means of communicating is through cell phones and texting," she said. "We have to speak their language. We're equipped to help these kids. Text our line and we'll point you in the right direction."
The text line, which is manned by a local high school teacher, operates on weekend evenings and nights, when, as Lemmerman said, "a lot of things go down."
The teens may be at a party where there's a lot of drinking or bullying. They may be home alone. Or they may have just broken up with a boyfriend or girlfriend or suffered a sexual assault. They may just have the anxiety that Sunday night brings for some kids, worried about returning to school the next day.
"They want to understand that someone understands them," said Lemmerman. "And that they're not alone. We hear you. We are not here to judge. Just talk to us."
Peer-to-peer groups, Ashman noted, can also be effective.
Safe School Ambassadors, for example, is a nationwide program that teaches kids skills on how to de-escalate problems within school groups before they spiral out of control. It's in place in several local schools.
But anyone in contact with youth can help, Ashman stressed.
"They don't have to be an interventionist," he said. "It could be the ladies in the cafeteria, or the bus driver. That's the message we're trying to get across: Who can see the changes in children?"
"We have to not close our eyes when we see someone in distress," said Turk.
Don't romanticize deaths
The experts also said it is important not to romanticize these deaths. Even well-intentioned gestures, such as creating memorials to the deceased, are harmful, as a youth at risk of suicide might think he or she would like to be remembered this way. And a number of suicide prevention websites ask the media not to focus on the details of a particular death by suicide, or the family's angst, to discourage the possibility of "contagion" or copycat deaths by suicide.
Awareness even extends to having "relevant and real" information available when teens see a production of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," said Miller.
The professionals talked about the importance of building 40 "internal and external assets" to protect kids. Some of these include self-esteem, courtesy, community service, setting boundaries, constructive use of time and being a positive role model.
The experts also urged peers to tell a responsible adult if they feel their friend might be in danger of harming himself.
"We believe that suicide is preventable," said Ashman. "But you have to have an active plan."
Months after her crisis, the high school sophomore's mother tries not to hover, but certainly takes notice when the girl seems sadder or moodier. And she prays, a lot.
"I'm just so thankful she said something," she said.
"When people are reaching out, they want help," said Lemmerman. "There's always hope. You are not alone."
Fact Box
Although some do not, most suicidal teens will show signs that they are in distress. Your child or friend may at risk if they:
• Talk about suicide or a plan for suicide
• Say things like, "I'm going to kill myself," "I wish I were dead," "I shouldn't have been born," "I won't be a problem for you much longer," "Nothing matters," or "It's no use."
• Make statements about hopelessness, helplessness or worthlessness
• Complain of being a bad person or feeling "rotten inside," refuse help or feel beyond help; do not tolerate praise or rewards
• Give away favorite possessions or make a will
• Are preoccupied with death
• Show a loss of interest in pleasurable activities or things they used to care about; always feel bored
• Show marked personality changes and serious mood changes, and withdraw from family and friends
• Have trouble concentrating or increased difficulties with schoolwork
• Complain frequently about physical symptoms often related to emotions, such as stomachaches, headaches or fatigue
• Display a change in their eating and sleeping habits
• Show impulsive behaviors, such as violent actions, rebellious behavior or running away
• Become suddenly cheerful after a period of depression - which may mean the teen has already made the decision to escape their problems through suicide
Experts advise that you trust your instincts about your child's or friend's behavior. Seek the advice and aid of family, friends, clergy, teachers, counselors, doctors, crisis lines, mental health services or hospital emergency departments.

Martinez: I Should Be Favored To Beat Mikey Garcia!
By Keith Idec
Rocky Martinez is the defending world champion and has boxed between junior lightweight and lightweight throughout his 12-year pro career.
Much to Martinez's disbelief, Mikey Garcia is still a heavy favorite to defeat him as they approach their HBO "World Championship Boxing" main event Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Texas.
"I feel that I should be the favorite," Martinez, 30, said on a conference call Wednesday. "I am the champion. I'm the naturally bigger guy. I'm strong. I've prepared myself well and I feel I'm going to win this fight because of that."
Puerto Rico's Martinez (27-1-2, 16 KOs) won the then-vacant WBO super featherweight title against Mexico's Miguel Beltran Jr. (27-2, 17 KOs, 1 NC) nearly 14 months ago in Las Vegas. Martinez bounced back from a draw with Mexico's Juan Carlos Burgos (30-1-2, 20 KOs) in his first defense Jan. 19 in New York to deal Diego Magdaleno the Las Vegas fighter's first defeat, a split-decision win for Martinez on April 6 in Macau, China.
The undefeated Garcia figures to emerge as Martinez's toughest opponent, but Garcia's trainer and older brother, Robert Garcia, expects a difficult debut at 130 pounds against a champion eager to pull of an upset and prove he's not a steppingstone for one of boxing's rising stars in the sport's lower weight classes.
"We're training for the best Rocky Martinez out there," Robert Garcia said. "We know everybody's counting him out and we know those are the most dangerous opponents. So we've got to be ready for a great champion that's going to go in there and do everything possible to defend his title."
Mikey Garcia (32-0, 27 KOs) lost his WBO featherweight title at the scales the day before he knocked out another Puerto Rican opponent, Juan Manuel Lopez, on June 15 in Dallas. The 25-year-old Oxnard, Calif., native anticipates much more resistance in first fight since demolishing Lopez (33-3, 30 KOs), especially since Martinez has never been knocked out.
"I feel I'm the smarter guy," Mikey Garcia said. "I feel I'm just as strong. I'm faster. The possibility of me winning is very high. I know it's not an easy fight, not an easy fight at all. I know how strong he is and that he comes to fight and win. But that's why I worked so hard and why I probably had the best training of my life. I know how important and how difficult this fight's going to be."
