What materials did you use? Brass bezel, brass jump ring, crystal clay, printed picture, leather cord.
This is really lovely! What did you use for the gold? Is this set in a bezel finding or did you make your own? Lisa
I just read your material list and see that the bezel is brass - but what did you use for the gold? It is really effective - looks like gold leaf - beautiful!
"German Silver"!!! It really looks like gold - thanks for letting me know - it's a beautiful piece of jewelry.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I forgot to mention that I sealed the surface with quick dry clear nail varnish. Now that I have purchased the renainssance wax I will use this. Regarding the German Silver color it looks much more golden under yellow light. However in reallity it is not that sparkly.

An Iron Man 3 trailer was shown during the Super Bowl (needless to say, U.S. only – or perhaps Canada, too) on Sunday, Feb. 3. Let me rephrase that: the Iron Man 3 trailer wasn't really a trailer, but a TV spot. Anyhow, whatever you call it, the whole thing goes by in the blink of an eye, keeping you in tremendous suspense as to: Will Tony Stark / Iron Man ever utter an exclamation stronger than "Oh, boy"? (Please scroll down to check out the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl TV spot.) [Photo: Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man a.k.a. Robert Downey Jr Iron Man 3.]
Directed by Shane Black, whose previous directorial credit is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, released about eight years ago, Iron Man 3 brings back Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, last seen delivering smart-ass remarks to (the much funnier) mad villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in Joss Whedon's worldwide megablockbuster The Avengers. (See also: "Iron Man 3 Trailer: Tony Stark vs. Mandarin, Sea Water.")
Now, will Iron Man 3 be superior to Iron Man 2, considered a major letdown by numerous North American critics? Who the hell knows? But one thing seems clear: If Iron Man can (officially) save only four people stranded (quite literally) in mid-air, you can bet your panties that when push comes to shove he'll be able to rescue four million air-floating humans if need be.
So, "does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?" Who cares about philosophical issues, as long as the Iron Man 3 visual and sound effects tickle the fancy of moviegoers? That's all that matters.
Robert Downey Jr toplines Iron Man 3 cast
Besides Robert Downey Jr. the Iron Man 3 cast features Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rebecca Hall, James Badge Dale, Stephanie Szostak, Wang Xueqi, and Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau. Additionally, Paul Bettany returns as the voice of JARVIS. Screenplay by Shane Black and Drew Pearce, among whose credits are (the announced) Sherlock Holmes 3, which will also star Robert Downey Jr, and (the also announced) Godzilla, which may or may not star Aaron Johnson (a.k.a. Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
Iron Man 3 release date
Iron Man 3 opens in late April in a couple of dozen countries, including Australia, Mexico, Japan, The Netherlands, Brazil, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. In early May, the latest Iron Man movie will open in another batch of countries, including France, Argentina, Germany, South Africa, and the United States (May 3).

Dear Interested Collector or Art Appraiser.
Due to the volume of requests and emails that I have received about my Echruseos (gold leaf) art I felt compelled to add a button to my Website. I know how frustrating it must be to you who are seeking to establish a value on the Echruseos art.
I coined the name for my new technique. I took a Greek lexicon and invented a word to go with my art technique. Ek means 'out of'. Crus is 'gold'. Ous means 'having been done.' So literally the word Echruseos means, 'Out of gold having been done.' It is pronounced Ek-Crus-os.
Since the advent of the Internet and the appearance of eBay attention has resurfaced about my career and the gold leaf work. I heard of a man buying a 11"x14" at a garage sale for $35. A couple discovered one of my gold leaf pieces in a wrecked house. It was among the rubble. I have also seen one 30"x40" sell for $25,000. Many are priced anywhere between $500 and $25,000. This is a huge chasm in pricing. What this means is many people own the Echruseos and are not aware of what they have. You have all heard stories of someone finding a Norman Rockwell stuck in an attic, covered with dust. Once cleaned up they realized they have a very valuable piece of art.
Since I stopped producing my Echruseos art in 1978 and several have broken due to mishandling, the supply is shrinking. My Echruseos art is in eleven museums and in my humble opinion one day will be a coveted collector item. I may well be dead before the art reaches it zenith; nevertheless I am fully convinced that this technique will be recognized as a rare collector item. Only time will validate my claims or prove me wrong.
My sincere advice to you and your heirs is to hold on to the art, make sure it is secure and insure it for a considerable sum. It is with confidence that I say my epic historical novel on Texas will be a successful published book. With the book my name will resurface in the art world. When that happens the true collectors will began to surface. Be aware you own an extremely rare piece of art. Once the technique is exposed to the Christies and Sothebys in the world of art collectors you can expect the Echruseos to explode and reach a six figure plateau.

Today marks the 119th anniversary of the overthrow of Lili'uokalani, the last monarch of Hawaii. Few know this, but one of her happy times as queen occurred on Maui as part of the royal progress she made throughout the islands after succeeding her brother, Kalakaua, to the throne.
In many ways - other than that no one saw fit to educate her politically - Lili'uokalani, then 52, was well-suited for the role of Hawaii's queen. She was "a gentlewoman, very kindly and generous," with an excellent command of English and she moved easily in Hawaiian and foreign circles.
Lili'uokalani began her tour in April 1891 by sailing to Molokai, the first reigning monarch to visit the leprosy settlement. She slept on a rug on the deck of the Likelike with her entourage, and compassionately took with her family and friends of patients, many of whom had not seen each other for years. For this she was severely criticized.
At Ho'okena on Hawaii, Lili'uokalani was borne by a hundred Hawaiians on a manele, an honor "only accorded to royal personages of very high birth," according to The Hawaiian Gazette. At Keauhou, a double canoe manned by eight men wearing feather ahu'ula (capes) conveyed her to shore, a gorgeous sight. At the landing, mats were strewn to cover the 300-foot path to the royal quarters.
Lili'uokalani and her party arrived at Ma'alaea aboard the Hall at 5 a.m. on Friday, May 29. They were met by 400 Hawaiian women dressed in native pa'u who escorted them to Wailuku as guests of the Hon. H. Kuihelani, a high chief. (It is he for whom the highway between Kahului and Wailuku is named.)
It was traditional for the alil'i nui to visit Lahaina, the former royal capital, but plans to entertain the queen did not materialize. The sugar entrepreneur Henry Baldwin met Lili'uokalani when she arrived and, hearing of this breach of hospitality, spontaneously invited her to a luau at his home three days hence.
With the help of dozens of volunteers, according to the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, he "produced one of the most perfect entertainments of the kind ever enjoyed on Maui, in spite of the short notice."
Baldwin met the royal entourage at the Paia train depot with horses and carriages for all, a procession extending over half a mile. Lili'uokalani made stops at the plantation camps at Kaheka in upper Paia and Hamakuapoko, visiting the schools and "giving the children a few words of encouragement and advice."
The party drove down the long tree-lined driveway of the Haiku Plantation manager's estate (whose grounds still exist at the foot of Kokomo Road) under a fern arch bearing the motto "E Ola Mau ka Moi Wahine," long live the queen.
Mary Tilton, a student at Maunaolu Seminary, was given the honor of decorating the long tables spread out under the monkeypod trees in the hollow of the home's great lawn. Decades later in The Maui News, she remembered "the bustle of preparation, the women and young girls preparing poi and lomilomi salmon, kulolo, opihi and raw fish to be served with seaweed; the men, oiled against burns, tending the imu with its kalua pig and steaming sweet potatoes; leis being strung, their fragrances mingling with the scents of the forthcoming feast; children looking on wide-eyed, being shooed away by busy mothers."
A hush fell over the people as the queen alighted from her carriage, "and then a murmur of approval. She was wearing black, with the gold of many ilima leis, the longest anyone had seen, and her train swept gracefully behind her . . ."
Lili'uokalani was "a short, stout woman, wearing a black satin holoku with its long train draped gracefully over her arm," recalled longtime Paia School Principal Mary Fleming, then a girl. She had a "rich, soft voice," and "a kindly smile and a friendly word" for all.
"Lili'uokalani retained her regal bearing, whether receiving the homage of her subjects or when entering into the gaiety and happiness of the crowd," Tilton recalled.
John Owen Dominis was taken sick in July and died on Aug. 27, 1891, at a time when his wife needed him the most. Dominis broke Lili'uokalani's heart with his extramarital affairs, but he was considered levelheaded when it came to affairs of state. As governor of Oahu and a longtime member of the court, he understood the complex political forces at work in the kingdom in a way the queen did not.
Had he lived, and guided her wisely, I suspect the queen could have prevailed in her agenda and the events of Jan. 17, 1893, would never have occurred.

Today's the first day of district playoffs for this school year, and that must mean it's time for my annual "what they did wrong now" column.
Let's start with a couple oldies but goodies: playoff seeding and cutoff dates.
For the second year in a row, Indian Valley is the No. 2 team in District 6 Class AA field hockey, despite the fact that the Warriors play a schedule that no other playoff team in the district can match. Yes, coach Tish Maclay will tell me, she'd rather play a game Thursday than have a week off - and I understand that.
At the same time, neither Huntingdon nor Forbes Road is signing up to play non-league opponents like Donegal and Selinsgrove, both perennial favorites for a state title who account for blemishes on Indian Valley's record this fall.
Yes, any of the three teams could win the district title - nothing is guaranteed. But I still think the Warriors deserve better.
In District 4 - where East Juniata and Midd-West play - I just wish we could get a bracket more than 15 minutes before the first game.
OK, I'm exaggerating - the field hockey pairings were out Sunday morning, and the soccer that night. But that's three and four days later than the other two districts in which we have teams.
District 4's position is that the seeding should not be done until every game is played, so every game counts. As Col. Potter used to say on "M*A*S*H," horsehockey. There were only a small number of games left after Thursday, a couple makeups, and I'll bet few of them impacted the playoffs at all.
It's not fair to the kids, the coaches, the parents, the officials - well, to pretty much everybody but the proverbial powers that be - when the district committee waits until the last second to put together its playoff bracket.
I will give District 4 kudos for working to make sure two teams from the same school have a chance at the same site in the playoffs, even though that means waiting longer to find out when and where the games will be after each round.
District 4 welcomes a new soccer chairman this year, as Sullivan County's Hal Stockdill - who admirably ran the tournament for many years - hands the reins to Glenn Fogel. Fogel, today associated with Mifflinburg, is a familiar name to some in The Sentinel's coverage area - his playing days were at West Snyder High School.
Fogel stands as the only official who's ever ejected me from a PIAA sporting event - a misunderstanding nearly 10 years ago. I still get a laugh telling the story. But that's for another day.
While I'd be the first to raise my own argument about seeding, District 6 apparently believes it doesn't have to follow its own rules for some schools.
Belleville Mennonite's boys soccer team is the fourth seed in its bracket, and therefore has earned the right to host No. 5 Penns Valley, the last to qualify. But instead the game will be in Spring Mills.
I can assume that's because the Mifflin County school does not have lights, and the district wants to play the games at night. Then play it at a neutral site - or just play it in the afternoon, and let the deserving team have the home game.
Several football teams that just a couple weeks ago were still mathematically in the running for the postseason have seen that door of opportunity swing shut. District 6's Lewistown, Juniata and Mount Union will all be calling it a season after Nov. 5, as will East Juniata in District 4.
That leaves Indian Valley, which will need some help to get in - with Bellefonte's win over Central Mountain, the Red Raiders can clinch the second and final spot in District 6 Class AA by winning either of its last two games. Indian Valley not only must win out, but must hope the team from Centre County takes losses from both of its last two.
The two currently are 130 points apart, a distance the Warriors can close only with wins over both Central Mountain (120 points) and Central (80). But a win over either Clearfield or Bald Eagle Area pushes Bellefonte out of reach.
Finally, congratulations to Lewistown, which will make its first playoff appearance in school history in volleyball. But the rumor is the Panthers will be forced to play on Saturday, when any number of fans would rather be watching college football. Last year, the tournament played entirely on weeknights.

GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, MI – Looking to take home a dog or cat?
The 8th annual Pet Fest will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10, at Genesys Health Park. Admission and parking is free.
As part of the event, hundreds of cats and dogs will be up or adoption.
Organizations that will be at this year's Pet Fest include Adopt-A-Pet of Fenton, PAWS, Forever Friends, Canine Companions Rescue, K9 Stray Rescue, Los Gatos Cat Rescue, House of Hope and Lucky Day Animal Rescue
"It's a great place to meet your best friend," said Angela Renwick, volunteer coordinator with Adopt-A-Pet and Pet Fest organizer.
Renwick said she wasn't sure of the number of pets that would be at the event on Saturday, but said from Adopt-A-Pet of Fenton alone there would be about 30 dogs and 15 cats up for adoption.
At last year's event about 40 pets were adopted said Dawnell Binder, Pet Fest coordinator.
Binder said the organizations will be available to talk about the pets and those looking to adopt can ask them questions about such things like the pets' temperament and how they're around children.
"Many of the animals have been in foster homes, so the groups there are better able to match them with an animal suitable to them," Binder said.
All animals that will be available for adoption will be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccines.

To the editor:
Today is World Fair Trade Day, and a good opportunity to inform people of the good that the fair trade movement is accomplishing.
Fair trade is about fair compensation for farmers and artisans who grow, harvest, or produce the products we enjoy. In countries where child labor, slave labor, extremely low wages, and dangerous working conditions are more the norm than the exception, the fair trade co-ops make it possible for people to thrive, not through charity, but by the implementing of sound business and agricultural practices.
Impoverished workers are not the only ones to benefit from fair trade products. When we buy fair trade, we reap the benefits of superior quality goods and foods. I can attest to the superior flavor of fair trade coffees and chocolates. Strict standards and farmers' ownership of their businesses help to ensure the quality that we find in Fair Trade Certified products.
Now that I have made a commitment to support justice by purchasing fair trade products whenever possible, I am always on the lookout for local sources for such products. Fair trade coffee is available in all of our local grocery stores. Other items like tea, cocoa, chocolates, sugar, and produce are much harder to find. As more of us understand the importance of using our dollars to speak out against injustice, our local merchants will likely respond with more fair trade choices for us.
The next time you go shopping, look for the black and white Fair Trade Certified symbol. By choosing Fair Trade Certified coffee, tea, and chocolate we can make a difference in the lives of others and support the principle of justice for all.

Ig Nobel For Why Don't Pregnant Women Tip Overtoddler-times
The awards best known for honoring scientists doing "improbable research" have picked a doctor's study on why pregnant don't tip over as a winner in this year's Ig Nobel awards.
Grabbing the honor for the physics prize were Katherine K. Whitcome of the University of Cincinnati, Daniel E. Lieberman of Harvard University, and Liza J. Shapiro of the University of Texas, whose study "Fetal Load and the Evolution of Lumbar Lordosis in Bipedal Hominins," was published in Dec. 2007 in the Journal of Nature.
As a once pregnant woman, I've got to admit the question has merit – your entire center of gravity is off thanks to that fetal load (really wish I'd know that term when I was preggers – sounds so much better than "thing hanging under my growing boobs").
So what's the answer? Straight from the research: "human females have evolved a derived curvature and reinforcement of the lumbar vertebrae to compensate for this bipedal obstetric load." Which is fancy shcmany scientific talk for "because woman are highly evolved creatures," right?
The Ig Nobel awards are given for research that makes people laugh . . . and then think. This one sounds more qualified than most.
Congrats to the winners – and to all you pregnant women who have managed not to tip over. It's hell trying to get back up.

At the open day, I heard that Sheffield usually have more than enough rooms to fit everyone in. I visited all the accomodation and none of it is anywhere near bad, so we don't need to worry about being placed somewhere disgusting
They said the only time you might not get your first choice is if you apply to Endcliffe ensuite because that's over-subscribed. Being allocated to Ranmoor is hardly a big loss though
Recieved my accomodation booklet today and i'm excited, even though it's only my insurance!

Data Sets
terasaur - Gigabytes to Terabytes: A Hybrid Cloud Approach to Publishing Large Files
Cloud storage providers make it easy to store and share small files, but significant challenges still exist when publishing and distributing large files. terasaur addresses this gap and offers a platform for consumers, researchers, and institutions to manage and share files between 1 GB and 1 TB in size.
Storage capacity and file sizes have increased dramatically in recent years. Linux distribution DVD ISO images typically require over a gigabyte, high quality video files and virtual machine images reach 100's of gigabytes, and research data sets easily stretch into the terabytes. Such large files present a challenge for digital content management and data transfer. HTTP and FTP remain the standards for accessing information and downloading files. However, these protocols offer little protection against network interruptions or file corruption at the source.
terasaur is a Web-based file and data distribution platform targeting objects and collections between 1 GB and 1 TB in size. BitTorrent serves as the favored transfer method due to its handling of very large files, built-in stop/restart functionality, and wealth of open source clients. Researchers and individual consumers can use a normal BitTorrent client to download files.
Typical BitTorrent tools work well for consumers but do not meet the needs of large content publishers. terasaur enhances BitTorrent by making data objects discoverable, authoritative, and persistent. Users are guided to enter structured metadata to facilitate discovery. The terasaur discovery engine is based on the Dublin Core metadata standard. Content publishers can attach rich descriptions and classifications to objects in the system. The application supports local search and browse activities, as well as exposes metadata for indexing by search engines. RSS and Atom feeds facilitate continued engagement between content providers and their communities.
terasaur draws from social network and web of trust models for its content publication and quality control framework. This framework allows content owners to ensure the authenticity of material, as well as gives community members the ability to contribute feedback.
Finally, a BitTorrent server module (Seed Bank) enables institutions to easily plug into terasaur and share large collections. Objects in the Seed Bank persist as long as the owner wishes to make them available, perhaps indefinitely. File storage follows a hybrid cloud model. When publishing data into terasaur, a user selects the destination from a list of available Seed Banks. The list may include a Seed Bank housed in a local data center or a 3rd party Seed Bank hosted in a cloud environment. This allows a user to consider data management policies, as well as storage capacity and convenience when publishing files.

Bizarre details come out in Melky Cabrera case
The New York Daily News breaks the story on the bizarre tactics used by Melky Cabrera to try to hide his use of banned substances.
In a bizarre attempt to avoid a 50-game drug suspension, San Francisco Giants star Melky Cabrera created a fictitious website and a nonexistent product designed to prove he inadvertently took the banned substance that caused a positive test under Major League Baseball's drug program.
But instead of exonerating Cabrera of steroid use, the Internet stunt trapped him in a web of lies. Amid the information-gathering phase of his doping case last month, his cover story unraveled quickly, and what might have been a simple suspension has attracted further attention from federal investigators and MLB, the Daily News has learned.
This is a pretty stunning chain of events if true, and with the involvement of the Feds this story is just getting started. While the federal government has stumbled when trying to get convictions of high profile players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemons, they have used leverage with witnesses to uncover improper conduct by players, trainers and others. Here, with the possibility that Cabrera and his associates used the Internet in a lame attempt to hide his activities, we might see this whole situation explode into a much larger story if the Feds decide to squeeze Cabrera to give up his sources and possibly other players. Stay tuned.

text: A copy Keats made of an engraving of the Sosibios Vase, which he traced from an engraving of this vase found in Henry Moses's A Collection of Antique Vases, Altars, Paterae, circa 1819. The drawing obviously bears on his Ode on a Grecian Urn, witten about this time. He knew the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon in Athens, which are the subject of his sonnet "On Seeing the Elgin Marbles". Keats had also seen the Townley, Borghese, and Holland House vases. Shakespeare also responded to images of the Greek pastoral in As You Like It and The Winter's Tale. Critics have often noted how Shakespeare anticipates Keats' sense of art's immortality in his Sonnets, such as 18 and 55. Courtesy Yorck Project, under GNU Free Document License.

Just because a prospect didn't get a September call-up—costing them some service time and a nice big-league paycheck or two to close out the year—doesn't mean they're being punished. After all, top prospects are typically handled with caution, especially pitchers who have already logged a sizable amount of innings throughout the season.
Sure, it would be nice for a team's fan base to get an early look at a player who is expected to be a huge part of that team's future. But it would also be nice for that pitcher to come into the following season with a fresh arm after not being overworked the previous season.
And it would certainly be beneficial for a hitting prospect to get his feet wet against big league pitching. Because of 40-man roster implications, however, a prospect not yet eligible to be drafted in the Rule 5 draft during the upcoming offseason is often excluded from the September call-ups in order for the organization to maintain roster flexibility.
Several recent call-ups making their debuts this month have a chance to be in the majors for good, and a few will be Rookie of the Year candidates in 2014—but that's also the case for plenty of others who are going home after the minor league season ends.
Here are eight notable 2013 September call-ups snubs who figure to debut next season.

Comcast subscribers across the metro area have suffered intermittently poor TV reception this week, with video interrupted by a kind of digital blotchiness known within the industry as "tiling."
The cable operator said it's been working since Monday to identify the cause of the problem, and reports it finally nailed it down this afternoon. Comcast spokeswoman Theressa Davis said the trouble stemmed from how Comcast transmits signals around its regional cable network.
At times, customers reported, the interruptions made TV unwatchable for extended periods. Comcast said most interruptions were shorter than that, but that the disruption was widespread though episodic.
"It was certain parts of the system at certain times," Davis said.

I know NAFTA hurt the livelyhood of Mexicans in many ways, it also hurt the U.S. farmer and every other non corporate entity as it was meant to. no one promissed work to mexico, it was simply a selling point, part of business.
Chaves as an example is a juxtaposition of Mexican Machismo vs the Mexican American advocacy of Cesar Chavez and they are both my heroes, and if you ask JC he has given his life for Mexico.
I still dont believe you can blame the U.S. Government any more than you can blame the Mexican government for the problems of Mexico. the consumption of drugs is a stupid reason to site, Many hispanics are in the U.S. and may be drug users as well, does that mean they are to blame also?
If you believe violence is not intrinsic in Mexican life, then why do you have the quotes by Paz and Zapata??? arent those blanket statements also?
Generalizations are a fact of life and conversation my friend, learn to live with it.....

In 1958, we1 reported the early results of attempted arterial reconstruction in 137 limbs ischemic beyond simple claudication but not yet at the stage of fixed extensive gangrene. At that time, it seemed that apparently hopeless extremities often could be saved by sympathectomy, arterial reconstruction, or both. It is of interest that a similar study, reporting essentially identical results, was independently published at the same time by Roberts and Hoffman.2
Between 1958 and Jan 1, 1961, an additional 411 severely ischemic limbs were treated at the Cleveland Clinic, increasing the total to 548 lower extremities in 495 patients. This study was terminated on Jan 1, 1961, in order to obtain a follow-up period of at least one year on all patients studied. The maximum follow-up period is eight years after operation.
The etiology of the ischemia in all instances has been arteriosclerosis obliterans. Ischemic limbs resulting from embolus

There are a number of issues here that have to be carefully
handled. Since blurring is not an easy distortion (the
term usually refers to a camera lens that is not properly
focused) I have no idea what you mean here, but one of
the following might address your issue.
[1] One might want to create an image using an XImage
structure, then, somehow, populate it. This structure
can be displayed on both displays, though performance
might suffer under certain conditions on at least one
of the displays, as the XImage structure is client-side.
Pixmaps won't work as they're tied to a display, though
one might try drawing into a display1 Pixmap, then using
XGetImage on it and XPutImage on display2; if one's doing
such things as ray-tracing where one has to construct
things a pixel at a time anyway, one might also look into
using XPutPixel directly for each pixel, then putting the
image on both displays.
You are apparently attempting to use XGetImage/XPutImage,
so you're halfway there; however, you're apparently
grabbing the image from a display1 Window instead of a
display1 Pixmap (both are Drawables). This is fine, *but*
there are a few other issues in that case.
[2] Grabbing an image from a Window is possible but one
has to wait until one's sure the display is constructed.
Creating a window does not ensure that it is drawn, or
even visible; one has to wait until one is sure it has
been mapped (XMapWindow) and drawn into.
[3] Anything obscuring the display1 Window will also
be grabbed. (This might be useful, or not.)
[4] If the display1 Window includes subwindows, the
subwindows will be grabbed as well. In most cases,
this is what one wants.
[5] If the display1 Window has moving parts (an animation,
such as one might see from Flash), XGetImage may capture
some strange-looking artifacts if the window just happens
to be updating at exactly the wrong time.
[6] If window1 is from an application completely outside
your control (e.g., you're trying to capture something from
a Web browser and display it), one might have additional
issues because of the window manager; XQueryTree on the
root window will return the display manager's Window as
opposed to the application's. A XGetImage from the display
manager's Window will include such things as title bars
and borders. One can also use XGetImage on the root window,
in which case one gets the entire desktop.
[7] On modern PC desktops, colormaps shouldn't be a
problem (it's all Truecolor), but on older displays (8
bits or less, mostly, with class Pseudocolor), one might
have a number of issues as pixels on display2 will not
have display1's colormap. Even on Truecolor displays,
if display1 and display2 are different depths (16 and
32, nowadays) things might get funny looking, leading to
"falsecolor" images.

Well if you want to overclock, you'll want a k-suffix processor rather than the one I picked out for you. It's only, like, ten or twenty dollars more.
I don't know much about the demands of Arma 2, but Blizzard's games are famously easy on graphics cards. SC2 especially hits your CPU far heavier than your GPU.
Posted 28 August 2012 - 02:42 PM
So is the i5-2500k for $160 a good deal at Microcenter? People seem to rave about it when I read the reviews, and that seems like a great price. They also seem to bundle them with a MOBO at a discounted rate so I will be looking at MOBO you suggested ($95 at MC) and see if I can bundle them together to make them cheaper.

I'd like to point out that if you plan on doing 3D PC gaming, that monitor won't work for it. I checked into it myself a while back and thought that it'd be the cheapest option to get into 3D PC gaming, but alas, it doesn't work that way.
Yup, thats it. I have the monitor already (got it a while ago with credit from BB), so that's paid for, and I'm sure there are definitely better options out there but as of right now I'm gonna be using that.
I think I would like to overclock, so I understand ill have to grab an aftermarket fan, but I wont consider the fan, OS, PSU or Monitor in this part of my budget.
I think I may have to contact you via pm about the OS when it is time for that step
And yup, I am in America, and actually have access to a Microcenter store as well which I've heard are somewhat rare but have amazing deals. As for games I intend to play, I do lean more towards fps and tps shooters (reaaaaally wanna try the DayZ mod for ArmaII) but I do also plan on playing games like Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2
When I was in High School a friend got a 100% on a D.A.R.E. test and they gave him a D.A.R.E. duffel bag. Two years later, a drug dealer that was a friend of ours at the time asked to borrow something to transport 2kg of cocaine in and he handed over his D.A.R.E. bag. He brought it back to him with an oz of weed in it as a thank you.

Aye, he knows. And with $500 for a motherboard, CPU, and GPU, he wasn't gonna be doing much 3D, anyway.
And... I'm not sure what elessar is talking about; Ivy Bridge is not twice the price of Sandy. Ivy Bridge (which includes the 3570 I mentioned earlier) and Sandy Bridge (which includes the 2500k) are nigh-identical in both function and price. That said, $160 for a 2500k - the most popular Sandy Bridge CPU - is a good deal. Go for it.

CPU:Wanted to leave OC'ing as an option. Figure it's worth the extra couple bucks. Know I'd need a fan for it, but it's not something I'll be actively persuing immediately.
Video:Current one tops out at 1600x900. Planning on getting a new one a month or two down the line. Getting a bunch of new PC parts and a new monitor would put quite the strain on my finances.
Case:Not particularly. Not completely sold on that one. Cutting back there is definitely an option
Hard Drive: Considered it, decided against it. It's something I can add later if I need to.
Optical Drive: Scavanged from another machine. This if you're curious
Posted 30 August 2012 - 08:44 AM
Call me crazy, but theres no such thing as having too much hard drive space lol
I have the exact board+CPU. It's nice. Only downside for me is that it doesn't have WiFi built in. And it only has 4 fan connectors, so you might want to buy an extra fan power cable if you get a case with more fans, like I did.
Browsing and watching Hulu with a stock fan, and the CPU is at 37C. So I wouldn't worry about a 3rd party fan yet.
I did buy an SSD, but I have buyer's remorse on the size of it. I wish I got a 128GB instead of a 256GB, since I don't have enough installs to fill it, thus wasting money.

MarshallJacob: If you're looking for a better GPU than the 560, this is a good deal for a 7870, which is a pretty substantial improvement. And it's not a crappy XFX 7870 or anything.
Also, free game, albeit not one I'd be too interested in.

I'm on the opposite end...I bought a 64gb SSD and wish I had gone bigger. But then again, Its mostly only for the OS and certain small programs. Everything else goes on my 2TB hdd

Posted 30 August 2012 - 09:25 PM
I'm looking to build something that will smash anything I throw at it, so here is what I have so far (Pricing from newegg.com)
AMD FX-8150 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 (2x4GB) (2 sets for 16GB of memory)
HIS IceQ Radeon HD 7870 2GB (2 cards to set in CrossfireX mode)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive
Crucial M4 128GB SSD (2 drives to mirror in case of drive failure)
Samsung SATA DVD Writer Black
Antec DF85 Case
Antec CP-1000 Power Supply
Logisys Dual Red Cold Cathode
Rosewill 120mm Red LED Fan
Total for all of this came out to $1,510.86.
I was also considering getting two Asus VE248H 24" Monitors to go with the setup which would be $359.98.
Total for Tower + Monitor = $1,870.84
I'd be loading it with a Win 7 64-bit copy I have. My only concern is with the SSD drives as I've never used them before. I know they are super fast but reliability was a concern when they were coming out (the last time I looked at them) I figure mirroring them will be beneficial to ease my worry in case one fails.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciative. I'm looking to get another 5-6 years of use out of this guy.
Posted 30 August 2012 - 09:44 PM
Here's my opinion.
Personally, I don't like AMD, but I won't go into that.
Don't buy two sets of RAM. Buy a kit of 4x 4GB or 2x 8GBs, matched.
Get a single gfx card over the XF, such as the GTX 680/670 or 7970. Higher compatibility with everything, and less heat/power. I personally would (and did) go with a 670. You're also looking at only 2x 1080p.
Samsung platter drives are horrible.
Mirroring an SSD can lower it's performance. What you should do is get a single Samsung 830 or Intel, and run a backup program to backup onto a platter drive.
Posted 30 August 2012 - 09:52 PM
Considering how much real estate most programs use, whether they be games or plain applications, 256gb is a lil on the low side. Maybe if you wanted to put a couple games on it. I'm waiting for prices to drop more on ones larger than 256.
Exactly. For installs, 256 GB is too much for me. And it's too little for storage.

I've always been a fan of AMD (and only built gaming rigs with them for myself) so I've always stuck with them. No rhyme or reason other than the products I got from them performed well and lasted a long time at a cheaper price than intel. I'd be interested in hearing arguments for either or.
On the video card I've always stuck by nVidia, but have heard that AMD (ATI still to me) has gotten significantly better. I wouldn't mind sticking with nVidia, but figured I'd give AMD/ATI a shot. The two cards was mostly just to say I had a setup like that. I'll probably end up switching out to a higher end single card. Any big difference between the GTX 680/670 or 7970?
On the SSD, it's still new ground to me. All of my tech buddies are urging me to switch over to one as my primary drive, but I've read too many reviews stating that they failed with in the first 6 months or so. My wife tends to store a lot of kids pictures and whatnot on the desktop so in the chance that it fails and I don't have proper fail-safes in place.. I'm dead. My same tech buddies also mentioned some software that does backups to another drive in the system automatically. How long does a backup typically take with that and are there any specific products that are good. I used to use Acronis True Image a bunch for imaging drives. The short life before failure still worries the hell out of me though.

Gardening Tips For A Healthy Life
- Details
- Category: Healthy Tips
- Published: Tuesday, 14 October 2014 12:10
- Written by Meghan Riddle

Gardening can be fun and exciting activity with many therapeutic benefits. Having a small garden in your backyard where you can grow some vegetables and tomatoes can be of great help not only by providing you with fresh tasty food but also making the environment around your home more beautiful and refreshing. A vegetable garden will give you an opportunity of having more vegetable intake in your meals and this will impact on your health more positively. Gardening is a form of exercising that impacts virtually every part of your body giving you a huge sense of accomplishment.
These are some of the common benefits of gardening
Disease Prevention
Similar to exercising in gym, gardening has been proven that gardening reduces risks of heart disease and stroke attacks. Exposing the body to sunlight as you garden is a good way of getting more vitamin D which helps body in absorbing calcium. Calcium is necessary for strong bones which then help in boosting immunity. Gardening has also been said to reduce blood pressure.
Stress Relief
Physical exercises have been known to release endorphins that are necessary for alleviating stress. Being mindful as you go through your digging, planting or weeding also helps in lowering stress. Listening to the wind blow, the trees and touching the earth as you dig has a way of just calming the mind restoring balance and well being.
With some knowledge on the benefits, lets now look at some tips you can use to keep your and maintain your garden. Keeping your garden green and healthy requires commitment. Before planting it is good to take some time and prepare the ground well. A well prepared soil is suitable for healthy growth of plants. Organic matter like compost, manure and peat moss can be added to increase level of nutrients. Healthy soil produces healthy plants that are more capable of resisting insect, and disease problem.
Presence of weeds in the garden affects growth and health of the plants. It's important to weed the garden and rid it of any form of weeds as weeds harbor insects and disease. Weeding regularly is an effective way of keeping weeds away.
Mulching is very helpful as it preserves moisture from the root of plants and also helps in reducing fast sprouting of weeds. It also helps in regulating temperature around the root of the plant. Dry grass is very good for mulching using grass that has been mowed for mulching is fine. Mulching also prevents erosion and disease reduction.
Watering frequently is what will make the vegetables thrive and be productive. Measures should be put in place to make sure the garden is efficiently watered. Lack of enough water is likely to cause the vegetable to wither and dry.
Understanding the type of soil in your garden will help you know the type of treatment. Different soil types require different types of treatment. Clay soil, sandy soil and loam soil should be treated differently when preparing and administering water. Loam water soil is good at absorbing water and storing it for plants use. Clay soil requires some tilling to open it up as it takes in water very slowly. Sandy soil should be mixed with organic material to be able to contain the water for plant.

The big sticky-out antenna was really inconvenient. I recall switching from
a Nokia phone with an external antenna to the 6310i (the best business GSM
phone ever made bar none) some years ago and being delighted that I was
suddenly able to get the phone out of my jacket pocket without having to
spend so long disentangling the antenna from the pocket lining that the
call had been diverted to voice-mail.
Making the phone slimmer was stupid if it meant compromising on battery
life. The phone is a tool, not a fashion accessory. Most phones on the
market today are too small to hold securely in chubby fingers anyway.
How about an enhanced (bigger) 680 with the T|X screen and all the extra
internal space taken up with a bigger battery? That would be good.

Yeah. Stupid. I have just returned from a holiday on which I took my T|T
... I couldn't find my travel charger so I just pulled the transformer from
the desk cradle -- forgetting that the T|T doesn't have a socket to connect
to the transformer directly. I was away for a month and fortunately only
needed to use the T|T a few times (to look up addresses for postcards) and
the battery was still alive when I got home (which is impressive) ... but
I'd have been much happier if I could have recharged it!

What are you most proud of? I had to examine my source picture to analyse the colours. I then had to mix the dyes to achieve the colours in my picture. As I had never done this before I was very pleased with the results.
When I first looked at it, I thought strawberry. Then i thought heart. Did not get the leaf until I read the title. I like the colors.
I saw a strawberry at first as well. I think it looks very neat though.
Yes, it's a leaf with a pink edge and an acid yellow centre with dark green veins. I love the way that it turns into a heart when it's pixelated. I just bought the couple of colours that I didn't manage to dye so I'll be cutting and sewing shortly!

A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) player (left) vies for ball possession with a Malaysian Politeknik player during the West Asia Hockey Tournament at the Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha yesterday. Photo by: Kammutty VP
Doha: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) trounced Malaysian Politeknik 5-0 to register their second consecutive win in the Doha Hockey Friendship Festival (DHFF) at the Al Rayyan Stadium here yesterday.
Playing two consecutive days, did not seem to faze the PIA team and they were off to a flying start once again in their game against Malaysian Politeknik (MSP).
The Malaysians seemed to be a very fit and young side, but they were no match for the experienced PIA players, who opened the scoring through a field goal from Waqas Akbar.
The second goal for PIA was not far behind and Hammad Shakil Butt, who dazzled throughout the match easily beat the MSP goalkeeper MD Ridzwan under the bar to make it 2-0.
The Malaysians tried their level best to equalise, but Muhammad Irfan in the PIA defense repulsed all the attacks. At the other end, PIA forwards kept up the pressure and manage to slip two more goals past the MSP defense in quick succession through Muhammad Zubair and Asfar Yaqoob to take a commnading 4-0.
The four goals did not seem to deter the Malaysians.
they came up with the ocassional attacks and earned the first penalty corner of the match, but were unable to convert, whilst on the counter attack, it was PIA's turn to get a penalty corner and their corner specialist, Ihsanullah made no mistake beating the MSP goalkeeper hands down, 5-0.
PIA could not add any more goals thereafter, while the Malaysians did not trouble the scorers.
The final score thus read 5-0. Today's game features the Malaysian Politeknik against Qatar. The winner will take PIA in the final, on Thursday.

I'm going to travel by jet to the south of France
Hit the fine ladies; put them in a trance
So party people; say what you want to do?
Dining on my yacht in Paris too
With the finest clothes and drive a big car
Sun roof, Rolls Royce, and the caviar
Fine wine, champagne, Don Perignon
Party like crazy to the break of dawn
Up and down and on and on
The party won't stop until we break the law
In my hundred room castle, in Madrid
And walking through the night with my man LC
"Success is the Word" is KRS-One's first record as part of the group '12:41.' The record was released in 1985, but the group's membership would soon change, leading to the creation of the short lived 'Scott La Rock and the Celebrity Three' in 1986, which afterwards lead to the creation of 'Boogie Down Productions' (often referred to as BDP). This particular record was dismissed as "wack" by Mr.Magic. This, in addition to the release of MC Shan's "The Bridge" lead to the hip-hop rivalry known as the "Bridge Wars," officially starting with BDP's response record entitled "South Bronx."

The Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate by three-quarters of a point early today.
Ist he economy heading into a recession? Watch for more analysis from CBN News Financial Editor Drew Parkhill, following this report. The Fed action was also a sign that it is concerned about a potential recession in the United States. It marked the biggest one-day move by the central bank in recent memory.
The move came after international stock markets took another hit overnight. Overseas investors are worried that the United States might be headed into a recession. From Tokyo to China, India and Australia -- the sell-off intensified in the Asian stock markets with two back to back days of panicked trading.
Japan's Nikkei Index tanked 5.65 percent -- its biggest drop in nearly 10 years.
Australia's benchmark saw its steepest slide in nearly 20 years -- falling seven percent.
And, Hong Kong's Hang Seng, down by nearly nine percent.
Investors fear that trend will follow across Europe and to the U.S. amid increasing concern that the American economy is heading toward a recession.
"This is very severe, really what it's doing is it's affecting confidence, so you'll see the impact of that over the next six to nine months," said Geoff Wilson with Wilson Asset Management.
Foreign markets worry that an economic downturn here in the U.S. -- with the credit crisis, housing slump, and American consumers tightening their spending - will weaken demand for products from other countries - spreading a U.S. slowdown around the world.
"People are still apprehensive and people want to see how the U.S. market reacts to the global financial crisis tonight," said Francis Lun, general manager of Fullbright Securities Ltd.
And in Washington, there's an air of urgency to get something done quickly.
The Fed decision was taken during an emergency telephone conference with Fed officials on Monday night. Officials decided to cut the federal funds rate "in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth."
Last week, President Bush and Congress dicussed an emergency plan to stimulate growth, including giving tax rebates to American families -- meant to inject a financial shot in the arm to the economy by increasing consumer spending.
But global investors are obviously giving those ideas a vote of no confidence. So we could see more measures from Washington - including serious interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve.

How to Pick a New Razor
Posted on January 27, 2008 | 13 Comments | Permalink | Email Article | Tweet
I think you should go with Occam's razor.
How did you get a shaving cut on your forehead?
He shaves his whole head and face every day.
I think the Shishkebab would be even better, lol
lol i got razor ads
Anyone else lol at the ad for the antique razors on the side?
Friend of mine had a straight razor. Of course he doesn't actually use it, he'd kill himself.
Bald guy with a goatee here... Gillette Fusion with King Of Shaves gel. Works wonders. I haven't cut myself in years.
Plus, I let my girlfriend do my goatee.
Stone cold Steve Austin, why do you let your girlfriend do your goatee??
I use the blade of flames. Ha ha nice graphic!
You could ask your female friends, too. Although I suppose that face-shaving might have different needs than leg-shaving.
You would think, but apparently not very much. My hubby finds that the lady razors serve *much* better than the men's ones do. We have ended up using slightly different venus razors (mine has more movement to the head while his is more rigid), but not very much so.

MMA has some really scary-looking dudes.
Before a fight, you have to stand across the cage, looking at a guy who wants to rip your head off.
Some fighters don't have a great staredown, and generally aren't all that terrifying.
But then there are others, whose simple stare can send shivers down the spine of the most intense and focused of fighters.
These fighters are big, scary, brutal, and have killer instinct.
Every list is subjective, but here, as far as I'm concerned, are the top 10 scariest fighters in mixed martial arts today.

How One Pro Finds "Great Companies"
Jim Huguet looks for undervalued stocks in companies with double-digit earnings growth potential, but takes his time buying them
Earnings growth and valuation are key to finding good stocks, but other factors make a company "great," according to Jim Huguet, president and co-CEO of Great Companies in Tampa. The money manager holds 25 stocks in his large-cap portfolio because it's hard to find ones that pass all of his tests. "Not all great companies are great investments," he says.
Huguet starts by studying a company's five-year earnings record and evaluates whether the stock is trading at a discount to its projected five-year earnings growth. Then he determines whether the company is led by a terrific CEO, operates in outstanding businesses, has strong protective barriers such as patents and brand franchises, is innovation-driven, has global reach, is people-oriented, and embraces sound corporate governance (see BusinessWeek.com, 6/14/04, "Good Governance, the Best Investment").
"If you look at great companies that have solid earnings growth over a long period, it's almost like there's a DNA in the makeup of the company—it's part of the culture and what they do," he says.
His strategy has reaped impressive returns in both bear and bull markets for his clients. During the bear market from 2000 to 2002, his large-cap portfolio rose 1.8% (cumulative), while the Russell 1000 tumbled 55% and the S&P 500 lost 37%. In the bull market from 2003 to 2005, the portfolio rose 57% (cumulative), vs. 45% and 49%, respectively. Since the portfolio's inception in 1993, his annualized return is 13.4% (after expenses 12.7%), vs. 10.3% for the S&P 500 and 8.29% for the Russell 1000. Huguet says he's planning to launch a fund within the next three months or so.
Karyn McCormack of BusinessWeek.com met with Huguet in New York recently to talk about his favorite stocks. Edited excerpts follow.
What's your investing philosophy?
We believe that if you look at companies with great earnings, that are trading at a discount, and have all the qualities of a great company, you will end up getting great returns. What we look for are companies that historically have had solid earnings growth, will continue to grow their earnings going forward, and are trading at a discount. Earnings determine the market price.
For example, Coach (COH) has historically grown earnings at 46.2% since 2000, and the return has been 52.5% for investors annually. Weatherford (WFT), an oil services company, has had 29% growth in earnings and a 25.9% return. Stryker (SYK) had 24% earnings growth and 25% return. Over the longer term, you'll see for companies that are increasing earnings, their market prices will increase at approximately the same rate.
Goldman Sachs (GS) is trading at a discount to its true value. Historically, Goldman has increased earnings at about 13% a year. Going forward, the estimate from 19 analysts that follow Goldman is it will increase earnings over the next five years at 15% a year.
So here's a company trading at a discount that is going to slightly increase earnings growth—if it were to do that you would look at an annualized return over the next five years of about 19.5%. That's the kind of company we want to invest in.
What are the other criteria you look for?
The traits we look for include: a terrific CEO, is it a great business, does it have strong protective barriers, is it a global company?
What are some of your favorite holdings?
We think Weatherford is a very well-run company.
We like Coach. If you look at the earnings line, just like Goldman Sachs, this company has historically increased earnings at 46% a year, from 2000 to 2006. That's going to slow down, we think, to 20% a year. But given where the stock price is, we think you're looking at returns over the next five years of around 15%.
What's the most important thing you look for?
In our premises for investing, No. 1 is earnings determine market price. No. 2 is we want to have companies showing double-digit earnings over time. That's really our definition of a great company—that over time, it's growing at double-digit rates, 14% to 15%.
No. 3 is it's trading at a discount to its value. Then you're going to make money on that investment, somewhere in the 15% to 20% range, because there's a direct correlation between earnings growth and returns.
But by the same token, great companies don't stay great forever. Managements change and businesses change, and you could have a situation where a company becomes overvalued and you want to sell and get out of the stock.
Procter & Gamble (PG) is a terrific company—with great brand franchises, wide moats, innovation, outstanding management, global—they're everything. But the stock is trading above its earnings growth rate.
Furthermore, earnings growth is expected to slow from 17% to about 11% going forward. Because it's overpriced and earnings are slowing down, your return on Procter over the next five years is probably going to average around 3%—not a particularly attractive return. It's a great company, but not necessarily a great investment.
Take UnitedHealth (UNH)—another one that I think is a great company. The stock price is trading at a discount—it got hit as a result of the backdating of options and the CEO making a lot of money. If you look at their earnings growth rate going forward at 17%, now you're looking at a return over the next five years of 14% to 15%.
They're both great companies, but one is a great investment and the other isn't.
What are some of your newest positions?
Goldman Sachs and Weatherford are new. They were bought within the last three months. Coach we added fairly recently also.
How many stocks do you own?
We have 25 stocks in the large-cap portfolio. The challenge that you find, quite frankly, is the difficulty in finding companies that have really solid earnings growth and are trading at a discount.
For companies like Procter—a predictable, solid company—people pay a premium for that kind of certainty, vs. companies that are volatile in terms of pricing and what their earnings might be. So it's hard to find really great companies that are trading at a discount. But they're out there if you look hard enough.

When New York developer Tony Goldman arrived in Philadelphia with plans to revitalize Center City's seedy 13th Street, almost everyone here wondered whether he was crazy.
One of the skeptics was Michael Nutter, a city councilman in 1999 when Mr. Goldman sought tax incentives for his project.
"We just all kind of looked at him and thought, 'What the hell are you talking about?' " Nutter said Wednesday. "He had all these ideas and a vision, and there was nothing going on down there."
Mr. Goldman, 68, died of heart failure Tuesday in New York, leaving as his epitaph a trail of signature, vibrant, urban neighborhoods that changed whole downtowns, including Mayor Nutter's Philadelphia.

Alley Lek, 6, takes part in games during a recent community event at the Wellswood community.
by Woodinville Weekly staff
WOODINVILLE--The Wellswood community in Woodinville took a more active roll in their future and that of their children.
Residents of the 30-unit King County Housing Authority complex elected the first-ever Family Council at a recent community celebration.
According to council Vice President Catherine Howard, the group hopes to address issues such as community parks, landscape and maintenance, and how federal money is spent at Wellswood.
Wellswood is located near the Woodinville Park and Ride. Howard, a 14-year resident, indicated forming a "Kids Council" was a high priority as well. Renters from this country and abroad live at Wellswood. There are Ukranians, Cambodians, Vietnamese and Russians among others. Residents elected Kevin Haines as president, Howard as vice president, and Josie Duby, David Mahmood, Lyn Nasson, Hier Veg, Lillie Clinton, Tricia Meeker, Flora Baniqued, Nikolay Panasquk and Urina Palatova as boardmembers.
The board will elect two from among them to act as secretary and treasurer of the council.
The first board meeting will be Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. at Howard's apartment (S-2). Call 481-6959 for details.

From avoiding the public pitfalls of Facebook, to forgoing embellishing their bodies with inked art, former Ohio Supreme Court Justice Yvette McGee Brown provided a wide range of wise, and often humorous, words to students at St. Joseph Academy Feb. 6.
She was the highlight of the sixth annual Women's Leadership Symposium, which took place at the Cleveland all-girls Catholic high school on Rocky River Drive in the city's West Park neighborhood.
"The keynote speaker is very impressive and someone who can serve as a role model to our girls," said Mary Ann Corrigan-Davis, academy president, in an interview prior to Brown's speech.
"She will tell them what made her the person she is today, and 50 other professional women will work with the girls in breakout sessions throughout the day. (The symposium) is energy in the building, and women love to give back.
"This is important. It's about the future — envisioning, dreaming what you can become. It's a great day."
Before taking her place at the podium, McGee Brown said she would emphasize to the girls to "challenge themselves, that they're capable of anything."
"Basically, my message is about confidence, pursuing excellence and believing in yourself," she said. "To be open to what life brings you."
She told the students how her teachers "saw something in me before I saw it." McGee Brown also credited her mother with pushing her to greater achievement, both in school and in life.
"Sometimes we can't believe how special we really are," she said. "Your teachers want you to step into who you were meant to be. Leadership is about being willing to see things not as they are, but how they could be."
McGee Brown laughed often, engaging the girls' interest by reminding them high school is merely 10 percent of their entire existence. Drawing on her own experiences and those of her childhood friends, she warned the students to keep their bodies free of tattoos. That drew chuckles throughout the audience.
"Don't get tattoos," she stressed with a smile. "You're not always going to have that tight little body you have now. Don't do it. I promise you, in 10 years you will remember that I was right."
McGee Brown, who has worked as a lawyer and family activist, was also the first African-American woman to serve as an Ohio Supreme Court justice. Another career highlight was her selection by former Gov. Ted Strickland to be his running mate in 2010 during his unsuccessful re-election campaign. Her current job is partner with the Jones Day law firm in Columbus.
She has come a long way, she said, from being raised by a single, teenage mother in a challenging environment.
"When I was little, I could not imagine this life," McGee Brown said, before addressing a student who asked if it was difficult to gain the respect of her male peers. "I didn't waste time thinking about that. My life is easy compared to how my mom lived every day. If you walk into a room with confidence, back it up with substance. If (sexism and racism) were there, I didn't recognize it. Go in looking like somebody who is confident and knows what she's doing, and is dressed to inspire the people who are there."
The girls clearly understood her message, as some of them talked later in a breakout session about what they learned. "To work hard, even though people may put you down," one girl responded. Another added it's important "to set your own course and don't let others make decisions for you."
McGee Brown also emphasized one other important life lesson.
"The person the public sees should be the person people see when nobody is looking," she said. "That's integrity."
