I've had some brilliant bargains in my time but of all the current ones this dress takes the cake. My favourite local op shop doesn't normally stock plus size clothing or if it does it moves swiftly. I wandered in one day looking for nothing in particular and the print instantly grabbed me. The prettiest pastel shades of blue, pink, purple and taupe on a background of white without a single stain or tear. The label looks as if it was made in the late 60's or 70's with the original patent belt ... [ Discover More ]
Aussie Curves – Secondhand
In the name of multitasking I present my second look photographed on the same day... and yes it did involve a quick outfit change in a public park because I'm a risky dare devil like that. I'm also a bit of a cheater, the dress isn't secondhand but the handbag is, that totally counts right?

From global flavors to clean labels, it's clear that some buzzworthy noncommercial menu trends are universal. But FoodService Director 's 2016 surveys have revealed some noteworthy differences within segments in the Northeast, South, Midwest and West regions. We combed through data from our College and University Census, Hospital Census and Long-Term Care/Senior Living Census for the most surprising variations in menu trends and expectations.1. Plant-based dishes are on the rise at Midwestern colleges and universities
Seventy-seven percent of C&U operators in this region say...
Ithaca College is turning to new solutions to address overcrowding at a dining hall that is already understaffed, The Ithacan reports .
The Ithaca, N.Y., school's Terrace Dining Hall has seen a large influx of students this year after being renovated, causing lines to wrap around the dining hall.
To ease congestion, Sodexo Area General Manager Jeffrey Scott told The Ithacan that the eatery has added a separate entree line, as well as signage displaying menu items at less-crowded food stations in an effort to draw students to the other side of the dining hall.
Anybody think the popularity of mac and cheese has played out? Anyone?
More likely, foodservice directors are trying to bake new life into the comfort staple by tweaking the presentation and components. Here's a snapshot of how that rejuvenation effort looks in streetside restaurants.
Noncommercial foodservice operations and other employers would be spared from costly new overtime pay regulations if 21 states succeed in the legal challenge they jointly filed yesterday.
The lawsuit asks the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to set aside the rules, which are scheduled to take effect on Dec. 1.
If the court rejects the request, restaurants and other businesses will be required after that date to pay overtime to any salaried employee who works more than 40 hours in a week and earns less than $47,476 on an annual basis.

PricewaterhouseCoopers has been conducting Paywell salary surveys since 1997 for various industry sectors in a number of Central and Eastern European Countries.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Macedonia will soon be launching the 5th edition of PayWell Salary and Benefits survey, that will result with detailed report on compensation and benefits policies, operated by the companies active on the Macedonian market.
The PayWell Macedonia 2014 Report will contain invaluable information on compensation and benefits and overall reward management. Our experience shows that those companies that put in place effective reward and compensations programs will achieve the greatest level of success in the increasingly competitive market environment.
Salary and benefits data will be collected throughout February until end of April and will be based on data as at 31 December 2014. The Report will contain information on participants' anticipated changes to compensation and benefits, so can be used when considering changes to your overall compensation and reward offering for 2015.
PayWell Macedonia 2014 uses the PricewaterhouseCoopers STRATA job matching methodology which enables us to evaluate and then compare on the basis of role and responsibility rather than on the basis of formal job title. We believe our job matching methodology, as well as the election of the companies – participants makes this Survey unique on the Macedonian market.

Hello dear reader and welcome to my latest trip report!
In November 2011 I had to travel to Lisbon on business. I posted a trip report about that here:
KLM, TAP, A Lot Of Fog And The Greve Geral (by knightsofmalta Nov 25 2011 in Trip Reports)
This had been my second visit to the city. Even so, I still could not really say that I had ever really seen Lisbon. On the first visit I was only passing through on my way to a place called Cascais, which by the sea – about 35 minutes away from Lisbon by regional train – and really beautiful. The second time, as I already mentioned, was on business and, save for an unexpected day off due to the strike, I did not get to see much of the city either, apart from the journey from the hotel to the airport where the course I gave was held.
So I decided to give Lisbon another go, to try and figure out what I'd missed previously. By the time I left I knew I had really missed something. Lisbon really took my breath away. I think it is such a beautiful city. It's old in places and looks very tired in others. But even so, it lures you in and before you know it you just know you'll be back! Of course, the beautiful sunshine and a spotless blue sky helped matters.
This report covers the return journey form Lisbon to Zurich on TAP in Business Class. The outbound was also on TAP but in Economy and featured a small but rather tasty hotmeal. But alas, the return in Business was a bit of a let down. The crews were friendly but uninspired and the food was certainly nothing to write home about.
Before we start, just a word of apology. I forgot my camera at home on this trip. So all the pictures you see here were taken with my iphone.
When I left Switzerland, the weather was pretty much like this:
And here are a few images of how Lisbon greeted me:
But on to the report.
My flight back to Zurich left at 14h30. So after a very leisurely, lazy breakfast I went back up to my room to back. I stayed at the Sofitel on Avenida de la Liverdade. From here there are two busses to get to the airport: the Aerobus, which costs EUR3.85, or the 'normal' bus 745, which takes a slightly different route and stops more often.
Yours truly...
I had actually intended to take the Aerobus, but when it still had not arrived after 30 minutes I gave up and simply chose to take the next 745.
The Aerobus that never came...
The bus does not actually stop in front of the terminal building and there's a short walk of about 3 minutes from the stop to the terminal. What I thought was particularly funny is that there's writing on the roof of the airport stating that apparently 'Lisbon airport just keeps getting better'. I'm still not sure if this was meant to be taken seriously of if the airport's management simply has a hilarious sense of humour. Lisbon airport is a complete mess and far from good, let along better!
As I was travelling in Business, I was allowed to use the 'green way', which is the express channel for security. And indeed, when I arrived I was the only passenger there and the staff were very helpful and chatty.
After getting myself a lovely bottle of 30 year old Port, after all this is Portugal, I headed passed the Harrods outlet and straight to the TAP lounge.
The lounge was quite busy, although it cleared up pretty soon after I arrived.
When the time came to board I headed to the gate which was a complete mess and evidently not large enough to accommodate a full A320 load of passengers.
Once on board I settled into 1A and watched as seemingly entre hoards of passengers boarded the plane. At some point I really started to wonder where they were all supposed to fit.
The cabin looked rather old-fashioned but clean.
Once we were airborne, it took a while for the crew to get the meals ready for serving. I found this rather odd as it's not as though they were waiting for the hot meals to warm up or anything like that.
A cool, jasmine scented towel was served prior to the meal. That was followed by the meal itself.
During this entire time interaction with the crew was minimal. And once they had completed the service they disappeared in the galley to have their lunch, which was a hot meal.
Here's the meal. Rather frugal for a flying time of 2 hours and 30 minutes.
This here is a Portugese sweet you find everywhere in Lisbon. But alas the TAP version of it includes candied fruit with a subtle hint of moldiness...
The mango was good though. Then again, that's not really TAP's achievement is it? The brown paste thingy was banana jam I'm told...
The cutlery is branded upside down.
After the meal I went to the loo. Not so much because I needed to but rather to see if the crew were actually still on board.
I like this picture here. The reflection makes my fingers seem enormous.
After verifying the presence of the crew I settled back into my seat and enjoyed the rest of the flight and the view.
All in all I think TAP Business Class was a bit of a let down, especially after the good experiences I've had with them in Economy. I certainly would not pay extra for the low level of service they provide in Business. Which is a pity really and certainly does not do justice to the Portugese people, whom I found to be very friendly and polite.
That concludes this very short report. I hope you enjoyed it just the same.

Something to Tell and Share
'Why So Quiet?' My (Somewhat Sheepish) Response
The last time I posted the transcript of a political speech on my website was months ago, in August last year. Since then, I haven't given any talks, taken part in any panel discussions, or written any commentaries.
Some of my friends and readers have asked: 'Hey, why so quiet?' A few have gone on to inquire, with gentle solicitousness, 'Are you all right?' (meaning, I suppose, that at my age, anything could have happened!)
Well, I owe it to my concerned friends and readers to give an explanation. I am being very quiet now because I have simply nothing more to say. It is an embarrassing admission. I have absolutely nothing that is new or worth saying. Indeed, I would only be regurgitating old stuff and wasting everybody's time.
In the aftermath of the watershed General Election of 2011, I had plenty to say. I was speaking and writing with furious energy about a PAP government in disarray, about leaders who seemed too shocked about the party's worst performance in its electoral history, to be clear about how they should learn from its very painful lessons. So they ended up sending mixed, confusing signals to the people.
Today, nearly three years after the election, there seems to be the same confusing ambivalence. For instance, while on the one hand they talk exuberantly about change and a new frank dialogue with the people, on the other, they are still intolerant of criticism, as shown in their recent curbs of the social media. But just in case the people think they have not learnt from GE 2011, they have cast off the old arrogance and can be all affability and charm……
It is certainly a most unsatisfactory neither-here-nor-there, smoke-and-mirrors situation that one can only watch closely to see how things clear up. My best guess is that this political limbo will begin to take on an identity only after the next General Election, as only then will the Lee Kuan era which has shaped Singapore politics for almost half a century, be truly over.
It will also likely be the time for the emergence of a line-up of new PAP leaders. For the first time, there will be leaders who are young enough not to have been under the influence of the powerful Mr Lee, and so are free to develop their own style of governance. Will they do an overhaul, a makeover of the PAP? Even small hints of such changes will merit a lot of attention from political commentators like myself. But right now, I don't see these hints. It seems to be business as usual.
Fortunately, my inability to write any significant or relevant commentary during this period has not stopped me from continuing to meet up with those readers of my website who contact me to request interviews, ask advice or simply to chat on topics of common interest. It's always such a pleasure exchanging views with them!
Here's a picture of me with three Junior College students who met up for a chat just this month.

The Jaguars have some solid pieces for the future along their offensive line. Eugene Monroe, Eben Britton, Kevin Haslam and Uche Manuwai all represent youth on the line that can translate into longterm fixtures. While this youth does exist, there is some age on the interior of the line that will need to be replaced soon.
While Vince Manuwai and Brad Meester both had relatively strong seasons, those players will be turning 31 and 34, respectively, prior to the beginning of next season. Finding longterm replacements along the interior of the line is something that will surely be high on Gene Smith's list of priorities as he continues to improve the roster. One such player that could be added to provide an instant upgrade along the interior of the line and allow the Jaguars to continue to identify themselves as a blue collar, running offense is Lehigh's Will Rackley.
Rackley was a four year starter at Lehigh, earning first team All-Patriot League honors in his final three years and first team FCS All-American honors in his final two years. He displays all the character traits that Gene Smith admires in a player, serving as offensive team captain for the Mountain Hawks.
Rackley started at tackle for Lehigh, but at 6'3, 307 and speed in the 5.1-5.3 range he'll likely move inside in the NFL. According to Josh Buchanan, the head writer at JBScouting.com and someone who exclusively scouts small school talent, had this to say about Rackley:
He has the massive thighs and is strong enough to slide inside to handle those bigger tackles. He also struggles some with speed off the edge making a switch to guard more attractive him.
When asked what Rackley's biggest weaknesses were, Buchanan cited consistent technique and blocking in space as the points that needed to be improved upon. In the NFL, these weaknesses can be masked by a move to the interior of an offensive line.

Computer Scientist Gamers
I find it interesting that most
majors entered the field for no other reason than to make money writing
s. I find it interesting now that I work on a board game website... --
What is it that you've seen or heard or read that brings you to the conclusion that most Computer Science majors entered the field with the intent of going into gaming?
From talking to my Computer Science friends... very scientific basis I know. heh
List of people who originally studied
to write
(Tho' one could hardly call it
: I learned to program from a high school student and two college students, as we wrote computer games, for our own entertainment.)
(Playing Hunt the Wumpus on a Honeywell Multics machine, and then games on an Apple ][ are what made me interested in computers. The first program I wrote on my Spectrum was a game. I don't work in the games industry -- it pays peanuts and programmers don't have enough creative control for my tastes -- but have written a game for an advertising agency and write games for fun in my own time, using Eiffel, SDL and Linux.)
The console-game series JakAndDaxter
was written by a couple of
s from
! See
also started after hunting wumpii, albeit, in the graphical TI 99/4A format. Though, I'm
(and actually jumped ships from CS to EE after the second semester).
who started out writing non-commercial games on the Apple ][, then went on to co-found a games company that funded game development by writing business software. The company released one educational game in the early 90's. It made no money and became a bone of contention in an intellectual property dispute with a partner, so we went back to writing business software. I've come full circle, though: I now teach on university level games development courses.
How about some other reasons why people studied Computer Science (or taught themselves it as a hobby)? Please, each person add just one.
I wanted to understand how 'mind' works - I thought it would be possible to write a program that thinks (hah!).
Actually I,
, got involved in computers because I wanted to PLAY games. In 1976, while in junior high school, I discovered
, the computer game, and was instantly addicted. Later, around 1980, while running the computer department at my high school, I discovered that people would be willing to pay me money to program computers. (Until then, I was planning to be a traffic engineer or architect. ;-) Since then, I've gotten "burnt out" on games, and hardly ever play them (except in video arcades, sometimes).
I was just *always* in CS, from the age of seven, when I was too young to have a clearly-articulated purpose. Somewhere in my late teens I got into computational linguistics, which is where I've been ever since. --
Everything electronic was heading towards microprocessors. You can't design a toaster today without one.
So, I became a mushhead to keep up with the
s world - now look at me! --
I find it interesting that one of my coworkers, John Knoderer, wrote the very first
game ever written to run on microcomputers in 1978! --
It would be interesting to list some reasons you've stayed on f games did get you into programming, but you have ended up not writing games for a living.
Fell in love with the feeling of sitting, thinking, and just sort of creating structure out of the void. I admit to relating very closely with people who draw analogies between programs and devising magic incantations.
A real sense of satisfaction when you get a machine to do something useful, especially when you get it down to a MakesItGoButton
Strange. I never thought about it that way. But I have to admit, that my very first real program was a game (on an electronic experimental kits 4-bit processor). And many of my following programs revolved around games (mostly on the
). But my interest changed quickly to compilers and operating systems, even though I still toy around with some game ideas occasionally. But for me game programming was never the reason for programming nor for the study of
- interest and curiosity for (mathematical and other) problems was. --
I actually ended up with CS degree not because of the video games (although I've tried to design a few along the way) but because the college I went too would not teach a
degree and I didn't want to go do the EE path. Ah, the road less travelled.

Are you sitting down, Calvin and Hobbes fans? No, the deliciously anti-establishment comic strip isn't returning, but its creator is – after a 19-year absence.
Bill Watterson, the genius behind the classic comic, has just released his first original cartoon in nearly two decades: a poster for the documentary Stripped, a film that celebrates comic strips while exploring the decline of the newspaper industry.
Watterson also participated in the documentary, which the official site bills as the first-ever audio interview with the very private artist.
"In the right hands, a comic strip attains a beauty and an elegance that really I would put against any other art," Watterson says in the film, according to USA Today.
Watterson's new poster features a cartoonist at work who is literally knocked out of his clothes when he sees a headline that blares 'Bye-Bye Newspapers.'
It's an eagerly-awaited return for devotees of Watterson's classic comic strip, which debuted in 1985 and followed the exploits of precocious, anti-establishment Calvin, a 6-year-old boy in an unidentified suburb, and his equally smart-alecky BFF Hobbes, a stuffed tiger alive only to him.
In 2010, the Cleveland-area native, 55, reiterated that he "never regretted" stopping Calvin and Hobbes when he did – and is reticent to comment on its legacy.
"I just tried to write honestly, and I tried to make this little world fun to look at, so people would take the time to read it," he told the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. "That was the full extent of my concern. You mix a bunch of ingredients, and once in a great while, chemistry happens. I can't explain why the strip caught on the way it did, and I don't think I could ever duplicate it. A lot of things have to go right all at once."

text: Explore Songnisan National Park Coastal Chungnam The Baekje capitals Gyeryongsan National Park Daejeon Cheonan and around Songnisan National Park Danyang and around Share SONGNISAN NATIONAL PARK (속리산 국립 공원) is justly one of the most popular parks in Korea, partly owing to its position in the centre of the country, but also thanks to its temple and the visually arresting 33m-high bronze Buddha, the tallest such figure in the world. Songnisan's myriad trails are a joy to hike, the paths winding uphill alongside gentle streams to heady 1000m-high peaks, but though the park's name translates as "mountains far from the ordinary world", the area between the bus terminal and the main park entrance couldn't be more typical of a Korean tourist hotspot, with more souvenir shops, restaurants and karaoke rooms than you'd expect to find in the midst of such tranquil environs.

One of the overriding themes of the regular season was the Western Conference's depth — at several points, only a few games separated eighth and 13th place. No teams can speak to that volatility more than the Ducks and Predators. Anaheim went from sitting on the postseason bubble to earning home-ice advantage, riding Corey Perry's stretch-run goal-scoring binge to seven wins in its last 10 games. And they needed every point.
"That is amazing," winger Teemu Selanne told The Orange County Register. "It just shows how tight it is. You have to believe. That's what it's all about."
Meanwhile, the Predators, despite also totaling 99 points, aren't finishing on quite as high a note — they had a chance to clinch the fourth seed but couldn't take care of business against the Blues on Saturday. Despite that, for the sixth time in seven seasons, they're in the playoffs, where they're looking to advance for the first time.
"For us, (winning a series is) the next step," coach Barry Trotz told The Tennessean. "Sooner or later, we're going to break through that. That's been our goal since last year — to take the next step. Hopefully, we can take it this year."
The Ducks stand in their way.
The playoff necessities
So much goes into winning a playoff series, but the team that holds the edge in these three categories often ends out on top:
Secondary scoring: Anaheim is unquestionably top-heavy — they boast elite forwards in Perry (98 points), Selanne (80 points), Ryan Getzlaf (76 points) and Bobby Ryan (71 points) and a legitimate Norris Trophy candidate in Lubomir Visnovsky (68 points). Saku Koivu (45 points) is their sixth-leading scorer. Nashville, meanwhile, gets its offense from a similarly small group of players but lacks even one forward approaching the talent level of Anaheim's four stars.
Selanne, for example, would lead the team in scoring by 30 points, and he was drafted while "Beetlejuice" was in theaters. Ready to turn 41 in July, he's good as ever — his 16 power-play points are third-most in the league, and he scored four game-tying goals in the final three minutes. The number of people who have done that before, according to NHL.com: Zero. Plus, the guy managed to get in his second career fight over the weekend. What more could you want? "Sometimes I just watch in awe at what he's able to do," rookie Cam Fowler, who at 19 is four years older than Selanne's first son, told NHL.com
Edge: Ducks
Goaltending: Jonas Hiller, Anaheim's starter for much of the season, has appeared in three games since the All-Star break, due to vertigo. The Ducks survived Hiller's absence thanks to Ray Emery, who went 7-2-0 with a .926 save percentage down the stretch in his return to the NHL after a career-threatening hip and injury and a stint in the AHL. Emery, though, is no sure thing — a lower-body issue kept him out of Anaheim's final two games. If Emery can't go, either Hiller or Dan Ellis, a former Predator, will get the start.
In Nashville, the goaltending situation is decidedly more clear — Pekka Rinne (33-22-9, .930 save percentage, 2.12) has solidified his world-class status and would give the Predators an advantage over virtually anyone in the West. Teammate Mike Fisher, acquired from Ottawa in February, sums it up: "Scary good," Fisher told FOX Sports South.
Edge: Predators
Health: Emery's injury could keep him out at the start of the series, and Hiller is, at best, a question mark. Thankfully for the Ducks, Ellis showed no signs of the problems that plagued him with Tampa Bay before he arrived in Anaheim; he went 8-3-1 with his new team. As for the Predators, Steve Sullivan (22 points in 44 games) returned from a groin injury in time for the playoffs. Marcel Goc (shoulder) was lost for the season in February.
Edge: Predators
Prediction: Ducks in seven. Anaheim has too much firepower, and played too well down the stretch, to go down in the first round. Plus, it has an "it" factor in Selanne, who could well be in his final season — though if he knows for sure, he isn't saying "I view the season as an elevator," he told the San Jose Mercury News. "One day you feel like you can play many, many more years. The next, I wonder: 'Why am I still doing this?' Some days I don't feel good, but I had those days when I was 25, too." As for Rinne, he's good enough to get Nashville over the first-round hump — but the rest of his teammates aren't. He will, however, carry Nashville to a different franchise first — never before have they forced a Game 7.

As you may know, I am continually expanding the boundaries of oatmeal possibilities. For my first oatmeal endeavor, I aimed to eat a bowl of oats for every color of the rainbow. As evidenced by this post, I managed to span the color spectrum with relative ease. My next breakfast-time challenge was inspired by the annual arrival of Girl Scout Cookie season. In anticipation of the cookie season, my cravings for the sweet little rounds of joy reached maximum capacity…so I decided to make my own GS cookies–in my oatmeal bowl! I managed to keep most of my renditions relatively healthful, and all successfully satisfied my cookie cravings.
Thin Mints
Lemon Chalet Cremes
While I did not make a bowl for every GS cookie flavor, I did manage to re-create all my favorite varieties. What are your favorites? For those of you outside the US or simply have no idea what I am talking about, you can read up on Girl Scout cookies here.

An estimated 3000 or more home visiting projects are under way across the United States, operating through local initiative or under the more than 70 state-based efforts in progress in 2009.1 Most provide in-home support from nurses and paraprofessionals to new and expecting parents, primarily those who have 1 or more social risk factors (eg, parents who are younger than 20 years, have less than a high school education, have below poverty income, or are otherwise considered vulnerable or at risk). Participation in these programs is purely voluntary and most families choose to continue for a period of 1 to 3 years. Their goals generally are to reduce child abuse, promote optimal child health and development, strengthen parent skills, and improve family economic and psychosocial well-being.

Yes they can. Again is is relatively common for a CT series to be

Not off the top of my head. There have been some inquires on the
newsgroup in which people were asking how to take such images load them
into a voxel space. I've certainly had the experience of 3d
visualization vendors complaining about images in a series not being
uniform in their orientation and/or spacing. Clearly it is a much
simpler task to build the voxel space when the slices are uniform; but
is not neccessarily impossible, just a lot harder, when they are not.
I'd put the question to tech support/developers at Volview,
AnalyzeDirect, and Cedera to see what they all had to say. They all
have enough experience in this area, that they more likely than others
to have done it.

Cyberpower Infinity Achilles GT System Review
Introduction and System Specifications
Published: 17th June 2013 | Source: Cyberpower | Price: £1899 |
It's been quite a couple of weeks in the hardware world. Just when you thought it was safe to finalise your list of desired hardware nVidia appeared with the stunning GTX780 and Intel rapidly followed up by releasing their 4th Generation CPUs and the Z87 chipset.
In one fell swoop most of us were left looking enviously at the benchmark results, and disappointingly at our own hardware which suddenly seemed obsolete. With a graphics card that makes even a GTX680 seem ponderous and a new CPU that requires a new motherboard, perhaps the time is is perfect to refresh your entire system.
Cyberpower are a big name on the other side of the pond and have been recently gaining ground on these shores. With a huge range of systems, the capability to customise them with any hardware of your choosing, and none of them being over-priced just because it's prebuilt, it is the perfect time to see what is available if you want to purchase a completely state-of-the-art system.
Today we're looking at their Infinity Achilles GT model which, like all their systems, comes with a 3 year warranty and telephone support from some of the most customer friendly tech people on the end of a phone.
System Specifications
Even if you're the type of person who only check in with what's current every now and again, you'll still nod appreciatively at the specifications of the Infinity Achilles GT. Top line, overclocked, 4th Generation CPU cooled by a custom water loop, best single-GPU card on the market, blazing SSD, bucket loads of memory all wrapped up in a great case. Even if you sat down with a blank cheque we think you'd struggle to put together a better system for a sensible price. Of course if any part of it isn't to your taste then Cyberpower will happily swap for alternate hardware. As always we'd recommend sticking with Windows 7 instead, but that's personal taste.
Intel Core i7-4770K @ 4.6GHz

As we all know from speccing our own systems that you can always get a little better for a little more, but before you know it you've added £200 to the bill. You have to draw the line somewhere and I'm not convinced that a AX would have a noticeable benefit. Certainly the fan of the CX never span up under heavy loading which is realistically the only thing that matters giving that we're barely using half it's capacity.
Glad you enjoyed the review.Quote
I agree that for the extra £20 you'd be better off going with the faster write speeds of the Samsung Pro. The CX/AX debate is less important. If you're building yourself then the AX has plenty of benefits in ease of build, but the CX is more than enough for this system at half the price.

But yeah good review nonetheless VB Quote
Nice write up, I don't like the colour scheme and I think the fun of having water cooling is doing it yourself to match a theme so this sort of build isn't something I'd consider but fair play to Cyberpower for doing it properly.
As for the use of the Corsair CX PSU, it would be good to see one of the better quality units in there but CX 750w isn't a bad choice at all so that's fair enough.
Seeing all those air bags takes me back, the first and only pre-built I bought was from Cyberpower and I had great fun scaring my family by jumping on the air bags to make them pop Quote
Nice review! although I am a bit confused why they did heaven @ 8XAA? Bit of a weird one as most comparisons are with it maxed out @ 16
In that case how is the 780 getting nearly 80 fps? My 780 OC'd at 1227mhz boost & mem at just under 7000mhz effective, with a 2700k@5ghz + 16 gb DDR3@1886mhz gets 62 fps? Also every vid/other review i have seen online i have seen gets around the 60's too. This with everything maxed @1080.
How is it 20 fps higher?
Is it done with unigine heaven 4.0? I am sure i am missing a trick here but just cant figure it out XDQuote

Would Chad Ford make up his mind????!!!!!!
ESPN's NBA draft analyst Chad Ford has churned out his seventh mock draft and it's getting harder and harder to take the man seriously.
As recently as Monday, Ford's 6th mock draft had Syracuse University's Donte Greene going to the Houston Rockets with the No. 25 pick.
Today, in his seventh (and hopefully last) mock draft, Ford has Greene going to the Golden State Warriors with the No. 14 pick.
Now what in the wide world of sports could have happened within the past three days that would have caused such a swing? Hey! Maybe Greene grew and now he really is 6-foot-11!!
Remember, I'll be providing live (as opposed to dead?) blog updates tonight during the draft.

I've done some research for natural preservatives to add and found the following seem to be the best:
1- Rosemary Leaf Extract: Seems to be the best totally natural one. Some others should work way less or don't be natural. (For example the famous grapefruit seed extract it seems it acts as a preservative cause of the actual artificial preservatives used in the making)
2- Natural Vitamin E: Good preservative for some bacteria (not general) and good for the skin. (Not all "natural" product brands sell the natural vitamin, make sure it's natural, only natural works as a preservative.)
3- Potassium Sorbate: Not as natural as the above but lot of comercial "natural lubes" use it. Good to prevent mold and bacteria. In theory, way less side effects than most other preservatives.
I bought some rosemary and will try it with xanthan and water alone in a month or so. Let's see...
I don't have or plan to a fleshlight. I haven't done xlube yet (will soon). But i'm interested in xanthan lube and this forum seems the more active about it. If anybody had experience with the components or whatever you'll tell. I wrote it to share and for anybody interested to know and test.

The Hard Disk Drive turns 50
September 14, 2006 Awww shucks – we missed another birthday. Yesterday was the big FIVE OH of the hard disk drive, as on September 13, 1956, IBM shipped the 305 RAMAC. The 305 was the first magnetic hard disk for data storage, and RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control) technology became the industry standard in short order. The storage capacity of the 305's 50 two-foot diameter disks was 5 megabytes of data, cost tens of thousands of dollars a year to lease and weighed in at more than a ton (that's it pictured with the girl on top).
Just to put it all in perspective, the modern computer is 60 (born February 14, 1946), the colour television is also 50 (born July, 1954), the digital camera is 30 (born October 7, 1975), the Apple II that became the first successful mass-produced PC is 29 (born April 17, 1977), the Sony Walkman (arguably the first identifiable forefather of the MP3 player) is 27 (born July 1, 1979), the IBM PC that started the whole IBM PC-compatible boom is 25 (born August 12, 1981), the computer virus is 20 (first known occurrence January, 1986), the MP3 is just 11 (born July 14, 1995) and the banner advert is 11 (born October 25, 1994). The first computer? Try 184 years old, for Charles Babbage's programmable, steam-powered, "difference engine" and the world's first computer programmer (Babbage's assistant and daughter of English poet Lord Byron, Augusta Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace) would be 191. Some excellent piccies in the image library with this story.
In early 1952, IBM opened an innovation laboratory at 99 Notre Dame Avenue in San Jose, California. Research work at this site led to the invention of the hard disk drive, which has become one of the computer industry's most significant technologies. IBM remained at 99 Notre Dame and expanded to other downtown sites until 1956 when the company moved into a new hard disk drive manufacturing plant at 5600 Cottle Road in South San Jose.
In 2003, Hitachi acquired Big Blue's hard drive business, combining it with it's own hard drive business (which had been a pioneer of the industry in the early sixties) to form Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. Today, Hitachi still maintains its hard drive corporate headquarters in San Jose, employing more than 3,000 people locally.

Watching Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, it's easy to imagine George Lucas standing in the middle of a giant arena on his planet-size Skywalker Ranch and bellowing like the gladiator Maximus, challenging a restless crowd, Are you not entertained? When "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" came out three years ago, the crowd made clear that even while millions were shelled out in ticket money, it wasn't nearly entertained enough considering the forces of myth and marketing propelling ticket sales. And so Lucas, the Jedi Knight of Marin County, retreated, and meditated, and emerged renouncing the dark side of the summer-blockbuster Force, with its groaner dialogue, camp characters, showy but undifferentiated special effects, and gimcrack product tie-ins.
And yet here we are again: not entertained, not nearly enough, by an installment of the "Star Wars" epic that, for the first time, exhibits symptoms of…nerves. And a chill, conservative grimness of purpose, rather than an excited thrill at the possibilities of cinematic storytelling.
"The Phantom Menace" was an off-key story of trade wars, with distracting appearances by a kid actor as little Anakin Skywalker and a computer-drawn horror as Jar Jar Binks, but at least Lucas dared to try something new, even weird: Binks bombed, but we hadn't seen his ilk before, a "Star Wars" mutant annoying enough to draw hate mail. "Attack of the Clones" is "better" than "The Phantom Menace" – i.e., less jar-jarring and more securely fitted to the overall scheme and heroic scale of the projected six-part saga – yet it's clammy with sweat stains of effort. In "Episode II," a decade has passed and Anakin (Hayden Christensen) is now an impetuous Jedi-in-training chafing under the tutelage of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor); Queen Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) has become a senator, through with the Kabuki-lip look but still a style-setter with a penchant for pagodalike headgear; and the two comely young people, reunited, give in to a swoony romance, complete with pouts and splendor-in-the-grass storms of teen emotion.
Current events intrude: Separatist rebels led by a rogue Jedi attempt to assassinate Padmé, and Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent to her aid, during which Obi-Wan uncovers a plot to overthrow the Republic and learns of the formation of a massive army of clone soldiers. But the heart of "Attack of the Clones" beats in the gathering moral darkness that will one day turn Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, hero-become-villain in a universe riven by competing urges of good and evil. This is a slow, crucial turning point in the grand design, and during lulls in the narrative (or during the few times Jar Jar Binks makes an appearance, obnoxiously jive-talking still, while the audience hisses), we who have seen the future can advance the action ourselves by contemplating the fates of Vader's son Luke and Luke's sister Leia and Vader's hideous head with his helmet off.
When Obi-Wan says to Anakin, "Why do I think you're going to be the death of me?" we're desperately grateful for the laugh, because there are precious few laughs in "Clones," not intended ones, anyhow. The dialogue, by Lucas and Jonathan Hales, while not as Wookiee-footed as in "The Phantom Menace," is still of the "patience, my young friend" variety, with occasional position-paper statements thrown in ("The day we stop believing democracy will work is the day we lose it"). Which would be fine – there's a traditional place for declamatory language in a cinema epic – if the acting style doesn't glumly follow suit. Christensen keeps Anakin in a funk; Portman is preoccupied with ensuring that Padmé's hairdos don't tumble. Only McGregor manages to smuggle in a little zip between Jedi business. And little, wrinkled, hairy, backward-talking Yoda has one nice moment when he drops his fortune-cookie ways and throws down some serious Force.
Zip and butt-kicking. That's what's missing now in this venerable 25-year-old franchise. The sophistication of special effects has rocketed since "Star Wars" opened in 1977, and the showpiece chases and futuristic aliens of this fifth production are as ornate and state-of-the-art as any tech-head could want. But all the lightsaber showdowns in the universe and all the space races wherein one zooming vehicle shoots at another can't supply the pizzazz of one gripe from Han Solo or the magnificent terror of one James Earl Jonesian rumble from Darth Vader.
And so instead Lucas turns to iterations of zip past – including an extended "Gladiator"ial smackdown during which Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan, chained up in a huge coliseum, fend off an onslaught of ferocious attackers while a digitally drawn mob of onlookers cheers for blood. (Christopher Lee, bad "Lord of the Rings" wizard, presides as bad Count Dooku, fallen Jedi.) The scene is big, busy, inventive in the way of actors jumping around in front of a blue screen pretending to slay mechanical monsters created on a computer, and we are attentive. But entertained? Ah, that sensation is as faint as light from a galaxy far, far away.

Long-distance Shark Dive: Success and Failure
Photo: Volunteers aiding Scott Cassell during an emergency equipment malfunction nearly halfway through his 30-mile dive in the Catalina Channel. Credit: Scott McGee.
Sometimes, life's biggest lessons come not when everything goes as planned but when everything goes wrong.
Early Saturday morning, as Discovery News reported last week, undersea explorer Scott Cassell set off from Catalina Island with two goals. One was to set a long-distance scuba-diving record by traveling 30 miles underwater without surfacing.
The other was to attract sharks with an acoustic device — both to draw attention to the endangered animals and get a sense of how many of them still live off Southern California's coastline.
The day did not go exactly as planned. After about five hours in the water, Cassell experienced a major problem with his equipment and nearly drowned. To avoid death, he came briefly to the surface before going back under again. Battling hypothermia and extreme dehydration, he finished the journey in about 11 hours.
DISCOVERY CHANNEL: Tips for Diving With Sharks
The other surprise involved the sharks. Despite diving through a notorious great white shark zone, Cassell didn't see a single shark all day. About 20 years ago, Cassell has reported, he often saw as many as 100 sharks during a dive in the area.
According to a press release put out by Cassell's team, advancements in fishing technology and a major rise in demand for shark fin soup have led to a nearly 90 percent drop in the shark population over the last two decades. In the Catalina Channel, about 97 percent of blue sharks have been killed over the same period of time. And around the world, people kill three sharks every second.
BLOG: Tiger Sharks May Yo-Yo Dive for Food
"Sharks are not the villains depicted in films," Cassell said. "They are highly intelligent, emotional and a critical component to our ecosystem and marine world. If we continue to allow for sharks to be viciously hunted and be used for things like shark fin soup, there is no chance that we can save this vital population, which has been in our oceans for more than 5 million years, ensuing a massive trickle down affecting the entire marine ecosystem that will eventually threaten yields of other commercially important species."

Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
The oldest son of reggae legend Bob Marley and his wife Rita, Ziggy Marley was the natural heir to the throne left vacant by his father's untimely 1981 death; along with backing band the Melody Makers, a unit comprised of his brothers and sisters, he successfully carried on the tradition of communicating the music's message to a growing global audience, in the process even scoring a U.S. Top 40 single -- a claim neither of his parents could make. Born David Marley in Kingston, Jamaica on October 17, 1968, he received guitar and drum lessons from his father, and began sitting in on Wailers recording sessions at the age of ten. In 1979, Ziggy -- so nicknamed in honor of his love of David Bowie -- his sister Cedelia, brother Stephen and half-sister Sharon all joined Bob in the studio to record the single "Children Playing in the Streets"; christened the Melody Makers, the four siblings continued playing together at family events, and even performed at their father's state funeral. Marley was not even 17 when he and the Melody Makers issued their EMI debut LP, Play the Game Right; the burdens of becoming a second-generation star weighed heavily on the youth -- who looked and sounded almost eerily like his father -- and he allowed the record and its 1986 follow-up Hey World! to veer closely towards pop music, resulting in derision from reggae purists. Poor sales, combined with EMI's public desire to market Marley as a solo act, prompted the band to jump to the Virgin label, where they entered the studio to record their masterpiece, 1988's Conscious Party. Produced by Talking Heads' Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, the album was both a critical and commercial smash, with the single "Tomorrow People" reaching number 39 on the pop charts. The follow-up, 1989's One Bright Day, continued the Melody Makers' artistic growth; it was also their best-selling effort to date, cracking the Top 20 and like its predecessor winning a Grammy. Marley and the Melody Makers resurfaced in 1991 with Jahmeyka, another assured and creative effort; it sold well, edging into the Top 20, but failed to generate much radio or video airplay. 1993's Joy and Blues barely charted, despite adding elements of contemporary dancehall (a showcase for Stephen's rapping skills.) The record was the Melody Makers' last for Virgin, and they moved to Elektra for 1995's Free Like We Want 2 B; Fallen Is Babylon followed in 1997, and scored a third Grammy. Like his father, Marley emerged as a leading political voice, and was named a Goodwill Youth Ambassador for the United Nations; at home in Kingston, he also founded his own record label, Ghetto Youth United, created to spotlight the next generation of reggae talent. In addition to the four siblings in the Melody Makers, three other Marley children -- Damian, Julian and Ky-Mani -- also pursued careers in music. The music continued well into the new millennium, for Marley released Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers Live, Vol. 1 in fall 2000. Jason Ankeny

Police put out a plea Thursday for the public's help in identifying a man who opened fire during an attempted robbery in Reading.
The holdup attempt happened a few minutes before 3 a.m. last Saturday at the Sunoco A-Plus convenience store in the 700 block of Spring Street.
The store clerk was standing near the hot dog grill when a man entered the store and pointed a gun at him, yelling, "Give me all your money," said police, adding that the clerk stood there for a moment in disbelief before the would-be robber fired a shot at the floor.
The clerk then ran behind the counter's glass partition and locked the door behind him, prompting the gunman to fire two shots at the protective glass before fleeing the store without any money or merchandise, police said.
The clerk was not injured.
The would-be robber is described by police as a Hispanic man who was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a red-brimmed hat and jeans.
Anyone with information about the attempted robbery is asked to call Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913. A cash reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

R (nudity, profanity, violence, drugs, adult themes). Playing at: Ritz at the Bourse, AMC Neshaminy and Showcase at the Ritz Center/NJ.

Richard Kelly's messy post-9/11 epic, Southland Tales, doesn't answer these questions (especially the one about Duane "The Rock" Johnson's nervous-ninny digit flexing), but it has a goofily self-conscious, all-over-the-map time posing them - and lots of other Deep Thoughts packaged in cheesy pop iconography.

Chris Rice
Outstanding gospel songwriter Chris Rice became a recording artist as well in 1996 after signing a contract with Michael W. Smith's own record label and releasing his debut album, Deep Enough to Dream. The son of Christian-bookstore owners from Maryland, Rice was obviously involved in the gospel industry as a child, but was also influenced by friends and relatives close to him. His songwriting career began in the mid-'80s, a full decade before he became the 1995 Christian Songwriter of the Year (according to American Songwriter magazine) after writing Kim Boyce's "By Faith" (the single was proclaimed Song of the Year). Thanks in part to his success at songwriting, he became the first artist signed to Michael W. Smith's label Rocketown Records in 1996. Rice's producer, Monroe Jones, passed a demo tape to Rocketown president Don Donahue, who leaped to sign the newly transformed recording artist. With the help of Jones' production skills, Chris Rice recorded Deep Enough to Dream for a September 1997 release. Past the Edges followed a year later; Smell the Color 9 was issued in fall 2000.

Has anyone here been laid off before? Damn, this sucks......
Has anyone been laid off before? Man, I got laid off from my job on Friday. Been there 5 years, and busted my ass for them. They told me on Friday, that they had to downsize, and I was one of the workers let go.
Ive known that there was a possibility of the company downsizing, but thought there was no way that I would be let go. My manager and I had real problems, and hated each other, but the owner/boss and I were really cool.
I will receive 5 weeks of severance, and they told me after that 5 weeks, if I want, I can go and claim unemployment, and they wont fight it.
Ive been saving up a little cash to start my own pool company, but just havent done it because I never wanted it to interfere with my job. But with 5 more weeks of severance pay, and the safety net of an unemployment check, I feel like this is the time to go out and do it. In addition the checks, since they downsized, they had to let go of a 10-12 customers, and they are going to give me all of their info so that I can have them come to me for service.
Wish me luck my BScene homies, this is gonna be a hard couple of months until I get my feet back on steady ground, but in the name of Jesus, I will be back in the swing of things quick.

I hope everything goes well for you, HTown. Good luck with the pool business if it is what you choose to pursue, but make sure you have a good plan before you get started with anything of your own. A job lost is only a stream of steady income lost, but a business lost can potentially have you losing all of your initial investment as well.
I would seriously recommend looking for another job (5 years experience doesn't count for nothing) and being more serious with the pool business as well.

As far as the 5 weeks of severance, I dont know why it was only 5 weeks. The company was just a little mom and pop pool company with 15-18 people working there, so there was no "Official" severance package. They down sized by a few people, and I was one of them. She told me that she wasnt even legally obligated to give me that, but since I have been there so long, busted my ass for them, and because she really personally liked me, that she was gonna give me that.

I already have 10-15 pools to start off with from the jump. Plus I was doing pool service and repairs for big time athletes, and multi millionaires.
So if it doesnt go the way that I want, in 6 moths I can stop the business, and go get a job at an oil company over here in Houston. I really dont want to work for anyone anymore, so Im taking my chance now.
Plus I wont be in too bad of a spot financially, because my wifes paychecks pay the mortgage, car note, and all of the bills. All of my checks were just disposable income, so if anything I will just have to cut down on spending for the next few months.
