Thomas Mann was only twenty-two years old when he began writing his first novel, Buddenbrooks: Verfall einer Familie [Buddenbrooks: Decline of a Family], in October 1897. The work was completed in July of 1900 and published in October 1901. From the start Mann's ambitions were set high. He wanted to write "a society novel disguised as a family saga" in the tradition of the great nineteenth-century European social novels, such as Renée Mauperin (1864) by the Goncourt brothers, Stendhal's Le Rouge et le noir [The Red and the Black, 1830], and Theodor Fontanes Die Poggenpuhls [The Poggenpuhls,1896]. Furthermore, he wanted to surpass the literary fame of his older brother Heinrich, …

JASON PETERS put in a call to Eagles coach Chip Kelly, after Peters was arrested for drag racing and resisting by flight in Louisiana on June 11.
"I'm pretty sure y'all told him," Peters said yesterday. "But I called him. It wasn't nothing major. They threw it out. Now it's time to play ball."
Peters got the charges reduced to driving with improper equipment and paid a $656.50 fine. This came to light earlier in the month, on the same day it was announced that Peters had settled his suit against the company that made the Roll-A-Bout scooter that Peters said collapsed under his weight in the spring of 2012. Peters got nearly $2 million, after re-tearing his repaired Achilles'. He ended up missing the 2012 season. (An Eagles fan might ponder whether, given how the 2012 season went, Peters maybe should have paid Roll-A-Bout $2 million for saving him a lot of bother.)

The Cay

|Timothy of the Cay
The Cay is a children's novel written by Theodore Taylor. It was published in 1969.
The Cay took only three weeks to complete.[citation needed] Taylor based the character of the boy in his book on a child who was aboard the Hato, when it was torpedoed, who drifts out to sea on a lifeboat. The novel was published in 1969 and dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr.
When World War II breaks out, 11-year-old Phillip Enright and his mother board the S.S. Hato to Virginia because his mother feels it's unsafe to stay in Curaçao with the German submarines surrounding the area. The ship is torpedoed, and Phillip is blinded shortly after a blow on the head by a piece of timber and is stranded in the sea with an old black man named Timothy and a cat named Stew Cat. Drifting at sea, they soon find an island in Devil's Mouth and build a hut while keeping track of the days by putting pebbles in a can. With few supplies, they live alone together for two months, fishing and collecting rain water. The cay is only 1 mile long and 1/2 a mile in width. Initially, the pair display significant difficulty in being able to tolerate and work with each other, often because of young white Phillip's racial prejudice against the elderly black Timothy. Phillip learns to overcome his disdain for Timothy and develops a strong bond of friendship by the end of the novel, as Timothy takes care of Phillip and teaches him to survive independently, to the point where Phillip doesn't need him anymore. Planes fly over the cay, but they do not see Timothy and Phillip, lengthening their time stranded there. After a hurricane hits the cay and Timothy dies "from being tired", Phillip, devastated, digs a small grave for him. He is left with only Stew Cat. Phillip is then rescued by a navy vessel and one year after he and Timothy find the island, he has many surgeries to get his sight back. In the end, Phillip decides he will become a sea explorer and travel to multiple islands and soon hopes to find the Cay he and Timothy had been stranded on, which he is certain he will be able to recognize by closing his eyes.[1]
Phillip Enright: 11-year-old protagonist and narrator, is marooned on a cay in "The Devil's Mouth" with Timothy. Skeptical of Timothy at first because he is black, he relies on him when he is blinded and comes to appreciate him and creates a strong bond of friendship and trust with Timothy.
Timothy: West-Indian native of Charlotte Amelie in Saint Thomas, is marooned with Phillip. He cares for Phillip and understands many survival tactics including fishing and shelter-building. Although at times superstitious, he is old, wise, and patient, stern, and helps Phillip learn to be self-sufficient.
Stew Cat: Feline companion of Phillip and Timothy on the cay, especially comforting for Phillip. Timothy at one point believes he may be an evil spirit called a Jumbi. Before the S. S. Hato was torpedoed, he was the cook's cat.
Phillip's Mother- Grace: Accompanies Phillip on the S.S. Hato headed for Virginia, is separated from him when it sinks. Notably racist against the black inhabitants of Curaçao.
Phillip's Father-Peter: Relocates the family to the Dutch West Indies for government-related work. He works in an oil refinery that increases the production of aviation gas.
Henrik van Boven: Phillip's Dutch-national friend in Curaçao; he doesn't understand Phillip's mother's disdain for blacks.
Phillip is in the beginning and throughout the early parts of the novel skeptical of blacks, which seems partially provoked by his mother, who is described as homesick for Virginia and unused to Curacao.[2] Phillip mentions that his mother did not like the blacks who worked on the bay, asking him and his friend Henrik not to go there and telling him that the blacks live differently than Phillip.[3] Phillip doesn't understand why she feels this way, especially since Henrik finds it particularly unusual, but nevertheless, initially, it shows that he seems to have the same sentiments when dealing with Timothy.
Phillip finds that there are some similarities between himself and Timothy. On page 40, Timothy reveals he's from Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas, to which Phillip responds that means he's American, citing the American purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark as a result of the Treaty of the Danish West Indies. Timothy only laughs and mentions that he never gave it much thought.[4] Phillip seems unsure what to make of Timothy and asks if his parents were African; he notices that Timothy looked "pure African" and says he looked very much like men he'd seen in "jungle pictures", but Timothy says he has only ever known the Caribbean islands.
When Phillip ends up blind, he comes to rely upon Timothy to provide for him and teach him. This alters the dynamic of their relationship greatly. Timothy proves to a surprised Phillip that he has a great knowledge of the Caribbean islands and survival tactics, able to make shelter, gather food and water, and survive. He teaches these to Phillip so that he won't be an invalid. In turn, their bond strengthens and Phillip grows to admire and befriend Timothy. He is devastated at Timothy's death, makes a grave for him, and sobs.[5]
When he returns to Curacao, Phillip spends a lot of time with the workers of St. Anna Bay, many of whom knew Timothy and remember him fondly. Phillip notes that he feels close to those people; he no longer has any prejudice.[6]
Published to both wide acclaim and pointed criticism for its impact as a promoter of racial harmony, The Cay received Jane Addams Children's Book Award in 1970. In 1974, when NBC-TV adapted its story for a television drama, the Council on Interracial Books for Children organized a press conference to "urge people to watch the telecast and, if you feel as we do, that an insidiously racist message is contained in the story, please call your local stations."[7] As part of that press conference, the current chair of the Addams Award Committee, who was not the chair at the time the award was given to The Cay, publicly stated that she thought it was a mistake to have named The Cay an Addams Award winner for having a racist theme.[8] In response, Taylor, who saw the work as "a subtle plea for better race relations and more understanding,"[9] returned the Award "by choice, not in anger, but with troubling questions."[8][10] In later years, Taylor reported that the Award had been rescinded.[8][11] Even though The Cay remains on the list of Addams Award winners, Taylor's claim is widely thought to be true and has become a part of reading and discussing the book as required reading in schools in dozens of U.S. states as well as internationally.[8]
Adaptation and sequel[edit]
- The book was adapted into a one-hour TV drama in 1974 with Alfred Lutter as Phillip, James Earl Jones as Timothy, and Gretchen Corbett as Phillip's mother.
- In 1993, Taylor published Timothy of the Cay, a book which tells both of Phillip's life after and of Timothy's life before the ordeal.

Organizing Ideas for a company brainstorm: Wiki, blog, what?
I work in a subdivision of a large music entity. There are many high-level ideas and challenges that float around every week. I'm trying to research a system that would allow for our staff of several hundred people to be able to both post ideas and solicit feedback on improving our products, our relationships, etc to a central website as well as being able to respond to others ideas. (for example: "how do we better provide value to cd purchasers" or "what can we do to optimize communication between department") Challenges: - Many of the people involved are not computer-savvy (not sure they'd be able to figure out how to use a wiki) - The individual items will need to be easily categorizable and accessible (this is why i hesitate to use something like Wordpress or Blogger, because after something's no longer on the home page, its out of peoples heads) - There will need to be an intuitive 'global' view I guess I'm kind of asking for something like AskMeFi, actually. But with an additional summary layer. Ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Examples of 'The Infinite' in Myth and Their Effect on Conditions of Truth
I am searching for examples of The Infinite, or the immeasurably large, in our mythologies and archetypes. I am also interested in the categories of Truth which came out of the emergence of Western, ontological thought. Does the trust in a rationally conceivable reality deny us the infinity of the mythological realm? By rooting ourselves in the present, and denying atemporal mythologies, do we also deny the infinite origins from where we came? [more inside]

The stone is as harsh and unremitting as the hot sun.
The story is as obdurate and hard as Pennsylvania granite.
Looking down on the emerging foundations at the archaeological excavation of the President's House, you can see a drama that - as the site reveals - was well-developed at the birth of the nation and continues to this day.
It is the drama of slavery present at the heart of liberty, and, ultimately, the drama of race in America.
The drama is evoked by the symbolic potency of the findings unearthed at Sixth and Market Streets, site of the house where slave-holding George Washington and antislavery John Adams conducted their presidencies in the 1790s.

Anita Desai was born in Mussoorie, a hill station north of Delhi, to a German mother and a Bengali father. After reading English at Delhi University, she married Ashvin Desai, combining her writing career with the demands of raising four children. She emerged on the literary scene in the 1960s, part of a new generation of women writers, such as Nayantara Sahgal and Shashi Deshpande, who sought to displace neo-colonial and patriarchal authority. Unlike many Indian writers in English who have risen to prominence in the west since the 1980s, Desai has lived in India for most of her career. It was only in 1993, when she began teaching at MIT, that she adopted the itinerant life of a postcolonial migrant, dividing her time between the USA, …

While the interest levels have become substantial, generally, payday loans are seen whilst the latter throughout a financial emergency. Thus even individuals with no credit or poor credit document could apply as you can find no credit checks required. These loans may be applied like car restoration, energy costs, for any cause, faculty charges etc. payday loans really are a speedy way of taking care of fiscal issues.

In trying to find the legitimate payday loan companies, just a little care must be used. The mortgage amount you obtain is based on your relationship using the bank and on your own income. This works like a stability towards the loan company that you will not be unable to spend the amount of money back.
Can I obtain a shortterm mortgage online without excellent credit? – Another yes! No credit rating check means that your loan isn't depending on any of the credit bureaus numbers. Each one of the three credit bureaus can record differently and the quantities will vary, but that makes no distinction with an online payday loan software.
By completing an online research, find out about the Business's status. Seek advice from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to learn what others assert about this firm. It'd replicate in the BBB website if a company has been granted bad consumer rating.

A pioneering adventure Grapevines were planted in the north of Chile in the 16th century, in the wake of Spanish conquistadors.Production expanded rapidly and the country was soon exporting to Peru, challenging imported wines from Spain. The Echenique family, of Basque origin, planted vineyards in the Peralillo area of the Colchagua province around 1750 and in the 19th century, the same family was part of the rapid expansion that took place in Chilean wines, at the initiative of a handful of pioneers who were inspired by the French model. The first French grapes were planted in the Cañeten Valley of Colchagua in 1850 but when phylloxera ravaged Europe's vineyards, Chile's production increased dramatically. Vineyards went from 9,000 hectares in 1870 to 40,000 hectares in 1900. The first exports of wines to Europe took place in 1877. In 1947, production in the Cañeten Valley of the Peralillo region was reorganised and rationalised. Plots of land were cleared and prepared for planting, water supply and storage systems were put in place and cellars equipped with cement tanks were built. The "Cañetenes" wines gradually built up a good reputation. However, the land reform measures which came into force in the late 60s and early 70s put a stop to any further expansion. Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite took over the Los Vascos estate (Los Vascos meaning The Basques, in honour of its Basque origins) in 1988. At the time, the property extended to some 2,200 hectares, of which 220 hectares were under vine. The pioneering ambition of DBR in Chile was above all the result of extensive research into the potential of local wines. Many properties were visited and very many wines were tasted before choosing Los Vascos, because of its location near the ocean and its exceptional soil. Along with ideal weather conditions, Los Vascos benefits from intense exposure to the sun, adequate water sources, semi-arid soils and little risk of frost. At an average of 130m above sea level and at just 40 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, the microclimate of Viña Los Vascos has everything to produce fine wines. The new Los Vascos project included major investment under the direction of the Technical Director at Château Lafite Rothschild from 1983 to 1994. The vineyard was restructured, a replanting programme was put in place and yields were reduced. Drilling provided a plentiful source of water and a weather monitoring station was installed in the vineyards. The bodega itself was enlarged and modernised step by step to cope with the new requirements in winemaking and ageing. The refurbishment included the installation of stainless steel tanks, pneumatic presses and improvement to the barrel cellar. The aim of all the improvements to the winery and the vineyard was to improve quality and, under the supervision of Claudio Naranjo, a new team of local management was recruited. Los Vascos is now a single plot, 580-ha vineyard in the heart of a 3,600-ha hacienda. Gradually, the improvements to the property have been mirrored in the wines and the vineyard's increasing maturity has meant that premium wines like Los Vascos Grande Réserve and Le Dix de Los Vascos have been added to the range. In recent vintages, the wines overall have shown increasing concentration and finesse. The finishing touch to the estate has been the construction of a new guesthouse, designed in the traditional Chilean architectural style. Read less

Thank you for your opinion before hand. For thise with experence with Redfield's 550 ranger finder, please tell your opinion, pros and cons. Will it range deer out to 500 yds in the field?
I was wondering how many other shooters sight their rifles to zero at 25 yrds?
My 7/08, 140gr NP @2800 fps has point blank range to (+/- 3") 279 yds, zero at 25 yds and again at 237 yds.
Here is my method. Set a target 25 yds, or paces away. (in front of a good back stop).
From a rest, cross hairs dead center target, fire one round. Return the rifle to point of aim, holding rifle still adjust cross hairs to center of bullet hole. Now I am spot on with a one shot sight-in. Sure saves on ammo.
For a rest I use empty beer cans. Crush them in the middle and stack them Linclon-log style. I put a shop rag down to protect the hood of my beater 72 ford p/u. Hint: The faster the beer is drained the more cans and better the rest.
Then I stagger out to 100 yds or so and set the target up. I use a pie tin. If I knock it over I'm good to go. One time I don't remember seting two targets 100 long steps away but when I looked through my rifle scope I saw both targets. With both cross hairs on both targets I knocked them both down with one shot. I owe this good shooting to the 13 emptied beer cans used for a solid rest. The 16oz seem to make a better rest than 12oz.
I can't be full of it, I drained the beer

A Spacious Kitchen Made for Socializing
this description from the Apartment Therapy House Tour:
Big tables sit at the center of the kitchen and dining rooms awaiting gregarious parties of friends and family for holiday celebrations or casual farmers market feasts. On less festive, but equally jovial occasions, dining tables become conference tables and wine glasses make way for laptops. A little alcove off the kitchen houses a well-appointed stock of liquor, vintage ice buckets, and martini shakers. Guests can mix a drink then retreat to the hearthside in winter, or the porch overlooking the wilds of a nature preserve in summer.A few resource notes: The leather handles on the kitchen cabinet doors (the couple's "biggest indulgence") were purchased in London, and the lighting fixture above the dining room table is from Wyeth in New York. The appliances are Aga and Sub Zero, and the stove is made by DCS—Kate's absolute favorite. As she says: "I used to have a Viking and the DCS has better control and is so much easier to clean."

Evaluating the running game was clearly the priority Saturday night for the Arizona Cardinals in a 30-28 preseason loss against the Minnesota Vikings.
Andre Ellington, who's locked in as the starter, had two carries for 5 yards and a reception for 16 yards. But Saturday wasn't about him.
It was about seeing how Jonathan Dwyer, Stepfan Taylor and Robert Hughes can fill in behind Ellington as a running back corps with defined roles rather than a defined ranking.
Here are some other thoughts on the Cardinals' second preseason game of the year:
Kicker Jay Feely knew what coach Bruce Arians wanted -- kickoffs that are deep and high. He kicked off five times and three of them -- including his first two -- were kicked into the end zone. His first two were 4 yards deep and returned for 26 and 31 yards. Feely's third kick was fielded at the goal line and returned 44 yards, while his fourth went to the 3 and was returned 15 yards. His fifth kickoff was his best, going about 8 yards deep, and was returned 25 yards.
The running game produced the majority of Arizona's points Saturday. Dwyer scored on a 1-yard run, bouncing outside as Hughes opened the edge with a block as fullback. Dwyer finished with 10 yards on five carries. Hughes added a touchdown on a 2-yard score in the third quarter on a dive up the middle.
A few Cardinals strengthened their hold on a roster spot. It'll be hard for Jaron Brown to lose the fourth receiver spot after catching two passes for 86 yards. While Darren Fells was the fourth tight end heading into the game, his 1-yard jump-ball touchdown was a flash of why the Cardinals took a risk on him last year. He used his size to out-jump Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway and his sure hands secured the pass.
Special teams had a rough day and it wasn't all Feely's fault. Poor coverage marred Feely's kicks, especially on the 44-yard return by Minnesota's Joe Banyard. After Banyard broke free, Feely ended up bringing him down. On one kickoff return, Brittan Golden received the kick a few yards deep in the end zone and began to return it, but at the last second he had second thoughts. It was too late, because he had already stepped out of the end zone, giving the Cards' position at their 5.
Saturday was Ryan Lindley's chance to make Arians consider him as the third quarterback, but the third-year signal caller didn't make a strong enough case. He was 7-for-13 for 53 yards and looked out of sync in the fourth quarter, missing a gimme touchdown pass to Fells then missing on his next two passes, to Golden and Dan Buckner.
The Cardinals' final touchdown came on as an odd of a play as there is. Lindley fumbled the snap and in the scrum to recover it, offensive lineman John Estes knocked the ball away. It was picked up by rookie running back Zach Bauman who scored. The play was reviewed and upheld as a backward pass that was recovered as a fumble.

|The small pro on standard rack is not going to do much for you, this route is all crack with mostly moderate to large pro opportunities. You could even use some small Bros if you have them, or large cams. Reaching deeper into crack seems only option to place midsize pro, otherwise you'll want BIG stuff or runout.

Through three games against a trio of low-major opponents, Missouri junior point guard Phil Pressey is averaging a team-leading 15.3 points and 4.7 assists per game, with a 2:1 assist-to-turnover ratio. He's also picked up 5 steals, playing a team-high 32 minutes per game, and is shooting 46% from the field, and 42% from behind the arc.
As Pressey and the Tigers prepare to head out to the Bahamas to play Stanford on Thursday in the Battle 4 Atlantis, ShowMeMizzou.com spoke with the SEC preseason Player of the Year selection to get his thoughts on Missouri's start to the season.
"I feel like once we just put it all together for a full game, we'll be alright," said Pressey. "We just have to be more consistent."
"Last year's team, we had played together for a lot longer time than this team has," explained Pressey, comparing this year's team to the Missouri squad that won 30 games a year ago. "I was the youngest guy on that team."
"With this team, the freshmen are young, and the transfers are trying to figure out how to fit themselves into the system," continued Pressey. "I mean, we're going to have our ups and downs, but hopefully we can figure out how to put two halves together, and come out with wins like we have been."
The Missouri staff is intent on developing and establishing Alex Oriakhi as a low post scoring threat, and they've emphasized that Pressey and the Tigers get the ball to Oriakhi down low. In the early going, that hasn't always looked pretty, but the coaching staff believes that it will make them "a better team" in the long run.
"Alex told me from the beginning that he doesn't need me to get him the ball for him to score," explained Pressey. "He can go rebound and score. So him telling me that just tells me a lot, that he's not worried about scoring. But I know he can score in the low post, so I try to get him the ball as much as possible, and try to run plays for him, to keep him happy down there."
Coach Haith said that Phil Pressey does "whatever we need him to do". But, don't expect Flip to continue to lead the Tigers in scoring.
"We have a lot of guys on this team that can go get twenty," explained Pressey, addressing his approach to scoring. "It just depends on the game………………………………………… At times I feel like I have to score. Our first couple of games, we started off kind of slow, so I felt like I had to get my team going. But other than that, it just depends. Hopefully, we can get it going in the first half."
Pressey attributed the Tigers' early-season success in the second half of games to Coach Haith's halftime coaching.
"Whatever Coach tells us to do at halftime, we try to do it," explained Pressey. "And, we've played better in the second half."
Through their first three games, the Tigers have held their collective opposition to just under 34% from the field, and have out-rebounded their opponents by an average of 49-35. Early on, it appears that Missouri is establishing an identity as a being very good defensively. Yet, there's considerable room for improvement on the defensive end. Missouri's opponents have shot 36% from behind the 3-PT arc, an unacceptably high percentage from the Tigers' perspective. Missouri has at times been slow to close out on perimeter shooters, and the Tigers have often failed to block out on the boards. These are just a couple of fundamentals on a sizable list of things that Assistant Coach Dave Leitao said that the Tigers "need to clean up".

One aspect of making space is physically making space. I've had a unique opportunity to do some serious decluttering this past week. It's been really great. What always happens when I do some major space-making is my daydreaming gets HUGE and HAPPY, and I have bad dreams. Like, during the day I'm almost high from happiness, from possibility; and at night I'm fighting demons in my sleep.
I think it's all part of the process. And one message I keep getting is to get less specific about one particular area I've been pretty concerned about. Like, take my focus OFF of trying to detail out how it will/could/might happen. The internal message I'm getting is that if I try to make happen what my current level of imagination will allow, it won't be what is really out there and available for me. Recent experiences of being really surprised by unexpected good things seem to tell me that this is true, so OK.
But then at night the bad dreams come. The dreams of running away, of hiding, of the massive intrusiveness of those who do NOT have my best interests at heart.
Here's why I think this is all part of the decluttering. As I'm clearing out massive kid clutter in most of the house, there's this one room that suddenly looks like a big pink toy bomb exploded in it. LOL I mean, the rest of the toy stash is suddenly contained, beautifully contained, and the clothes have recently been sorted, and most of the places that feature toy storage or display are now live-able. But this one room has gotten worse and worse over the course of the organizing process. Haha Now it looks like a complete disaster. Like FEMA might see it and take an interest. Yow!
But it ain't no thaing. It's just more stuff, and it just gives me a chance to go tackle something else – just organize it if that's all I want to do right now, or really declutter in that room too if that feels good.
What's been decluttered has been liberating. And therefore scary. I plan to hug my pillow REALLY tight tonight. LOL But I'll still be daydreaming, still be making space, and still be learning to be open to all the ways good can come.

Report: Yankees' Mark Teixeira to Miss 1st Week of Spring Training Games
George A. King III of the New York Post reports?that?Mark Teixeira won't?likely play in Spring Training games until March 3, at the earliest, due to a wrist injury.
His wrist is still tight, even though he says there is no pain and he hasn?t had any setbacks.
He said earlier this month that it could be June before that tightness disappears completely.
If he?s not productive this spring, the Yankees will have to be rely pretty heavily on only a small number of guys.

So I've been downloading and playing some fun titles off PSN as I eagerly wait for LBP, Motorstorm 2 and Resistance 2 later this year. I really enjoy these little games as they offer a more relax play experience that I just don't get out of MGO. However, don't let their indie look fool you. Games like Pixeljunk Eden are as intense as they get.
I'll try to keep these short.
This is a fun and comedic little game that sadly wears off pretty quitly mainly because there is only one level to play on. The physics engine in this game a allow for some off-the-wall seemingly random mishaps but they soon become predictable. The controls are accurate and simple, and you'll learn them fairly quickly. There are various game modes like "Spank the Monkey" which add some variety to this pain simulator. Is it worth the money? Well, yes. If would have been nice to get it when the summer special of $4.99 was still in effect, but if you missed it you now have to pay full price of $9.99.
This is PSNs 3D version of Geometry Wars and it doesn't dissapoint. With 5 total planets/levels to play in, stunning HD visuals and trophy support, this game is definitely a must get. The arcade feel and the retro music add to the atmosphere of what is one of the best games on PSN next to the PixelJunk series. Enough said!
Let's just say the trailers are deceiving. The game looks zen but it will stress the heck out of you. The controls takes some time to get used to and even then there is really nothing you can do to prevent your little grimp from falling all the way to the bottom of the level. There's definitely a period where you have to adjust to the game mechanics but if you prevail, you'll find yourself enjoying the game more than you initially thought you ever would. The trophy support feature is a plus but don't think getting them will be a cake walk. The time limit adds another dimension to the game, but it can become a burden on certain levels when the enemies are relentless and seemingly invincible.
I hope you enjoyed reading all of this. If I get a new game, I'll make sure to tell you guys how it is.

Through my work, readings and conversations, I have come to a strong conclusion about people who change the world - they recognize that there are no rules! There are no rules to follow if you want to create a new product or programme to transform education, improve transportation, connect the world via the internet or support entrepreneurs. Richard Branson wasn't following any rules when he created the Virgin Group, Mark Zuckerberg wasn't following any rules with creating Facebook and he certainly isn't following any rules now with creating 'Aquila' to beam internet connectivity down to millions from an unmanned aircraft. Oprah Winfrey didn't follow anyone's rules in pioneering real-talk daytime talk shows and Larry Page isn't following anyone's rules with creating Alphabet as a parent company for Google and other interests. Why are we so bothered with trying to follow another person's rules? If something makes sense in your imagination, you have an obligation to yourself to try to implement it just as it is. Don't worry about making it perfect; experimentation is perfectly fine, and you can always tweak your ideas as you go on. You are much better off implementing an imperfect idea than sitting on your hands trying to perfect a single thought. Get up and get going! Start doing something!

A summary of my musings in the last week. It's quite untrue when people say there are a set of rules to follow in order to succeed and much worse when they say there is only one way to success.

ECS H67H2-M & H67H2-I Reviewccokeman -
Category: Motherboards
Price: H67H2-M $139, H67H2-I $90
» Discuss this article (4)
Intel's Sandy Bridge processors and platform were released with a lot of attention to this next generation's performance and capabilities. Unfortunately there also was the quickly resolved bug in the SATA 3G controller that soured a successful launch. This aside, the Intel Sandy Bridge 2500K and 2600K processors have proven to offer excellent performance at stock speeds with even more performance available if you choose to push the limits with processors reaching 4.8 to 5.0GHz at will on the P67 platform. But the boards I am looking at today are part of ECS H67 lineup. Intel's H67 board did not provide any overclocking ability above the limits of the processor's Turbo Boost 2 multiplier when I looked at it during the Sandy Bridge launch article due to the limitations of the chipset. The H67 based boards from ECS are no different in this respect. On the IGP side of the fence though, the ability to bump up the performance of the Intel HD 3000 graphics can pay dividends across the whole suite of applications that are GPU accelerated. The two motherboards I have to look at from ECS are the H67H2-M and H67H2-I. The "M" is a fully featured Micro ATX form factor motherboard that is part of ECS "Black" series and is equipped with the Intel H67 chipset for use with Intel's latest second generation Core processors. The "I" is a mini ITX form factor motherboard is equipped with the features to easily outperform many of the small form factor boards on the market when equipped with one Intel's Second Generation core series processor. Both of these motherboards would be right at home in an HTPC or small form factor build.
Closer Look:
The packaging for these H67 boards is much improved over prior ECS designs. The packaging of the H67H2-M features a wealth of information on the capabilities of this board along with many of its attributes on both the front and rear panels. The front shows off the potential 235% increase in GPU performance when the HD 3000 graphics are overclocked. There is mention of improved gold contacts, that the Quooltech cooling solution on-board is 15 to 20C cooler running and that the board should have a 6x improvement over prior designs based on the solid capacitors. In the upper corner you see that this board is a B3 revision, that this board supports Turbo Boost 2.0 and offers 3D support. The back panel of the "M" is covered with explanations of the included features. Things such as the eight channel audio, all solid capacitors, GPU overclocking, Dual Gigabit LAN and more. The "I" version in the series is a Mini ITX form factor board for use with the second generation Core processors. The graphics used on this board are significantly different enough from the "Black Series to make the distinction. The front panel lists many of the attributes of the board from Bluetooth capabilities, USB 3.0 SATA 6Gb/s, Turbo Boost 2.0, 3D and multi-monitor support. The back panel talks about what makes this offering special from an explanation of the Bluetooth 2.1+EDR technology, MIni PCIe support while listing the included ECS software eJiffy, eBLU,eDLU and eSF.
The accessory bundle for both boards is eerily similar with the inclusion of a manual, quick start guide, driver disk with the proprietary utilities, I/O shield, SATA cables and a set of plugs to protect the unused ports on the I/O panel when not in use.
Even though the H67 chipset prevents any CPU overclocking, I am curious as to how well these boards perform in their as-delivered configurations. Hopefully, the boards will have the ability to bump the on-board graphics up a couple of notches to increase the IGP performance. Small in size but not features, these two board look pretty interesting.

The data obtained from the purification of various cell and tissue samples demonstrated that high yields of quality DNA are easily extracted with the KingFisher Cell and Tissue DNA Kit.
DNA purified from mouse ear, liver, and kidney samples produced a high yield of DNA, as shown in Figure 1. This is demonstrative of the ability to provide quality starting material for applications, such as the genotyping of mice, where ear and tail are typically used. DNA yields obtained depend on both the lysis time and volume of tissue; 10 mg and 15 mg of mouse kidney samples were lysed for 1 hour, 4.5 hours, and overnight, the results of which are shown in Figure 2.
However, even after only 1 hour of lysis, the DNA obtained was of an excellent yield and ratio, making it ideal for use in downstream applications. In addition, lysis of the ear, liver, and kidney samples in the KingFisher Flex for 15 minutes was effective, producing an adequate yield for subsequent PCR reactions (data not shown).
The effects of the amount of sample material were compared with the purification of DNA from a different quantity of HeLa-S3 cells. The results indicate that there is a direct correlation between the yield of purified DNA samples and the number of cells in the sample, as shown in Figure 3. Even with the smallest amount of approximately 15,000 cells, the purification process was efficient and the subsequent PCR was successful.
Efficient and fast DNA purification is an essential starting point to a broad array of drug discovery applications. As such, it is essential that researchers have a reliable method of obtaining high yields of pure DNA. The KingFisher Cell and Tissue DNA Kit, in combination with the KingFisher Flex offers a high-throughput workflow solution.
Since different sample materials require a range of lysis times, the entire purification process can be effectively optimized to take into account the volume and type of material being used. As a result, optimal yields are produced from each purification for use in downstream applications. Additionally, with some materials, the hands-on time can be minimized and throughput maximized by performing the lysis directly in the KingFisher instrument.
