Testing Methodology
Now that we know how far our Phenom II X4 920 can be overclocked with air-cooling, we decided to check the performance level we could achieve with an overclocked CPU. The main goal was to find out if the new AMD processor could become a better buy for overclockers than quad-core Intel CPUs from the same price range. So, the main action during this test session will be about the side by side comparison of Phenom II X4 920 overclocked to 3.72 GHz against overclocked Core 2 Quad Q8300 and Core 2 Quad Q6600. Intel set the price point for these processors at $183, while Phenom II X4 920 is officially priced at $195. Moreover, we have also included a more expensive Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor. Although it has almost completely disappeared from the official price-list, it is still retailing widely for a somewhat higher price than that of Phenom II X4 920.
As we have already mentioned in our previous reviews, the overclocking potential of junior Intel processors from Q8000 and Q9000 series is determined not by the frequency potential of the semiconductor dies, but by the ability of the chipsets and mainboards to ensure stable operational conditions at high FSB speeds. Therefore, we decided to test our Core 2 Quad processors with a popular ASUS P5Q Pro mainboard. It allows increasing the FSB frequency to 475 MHz for quad-core processors. So, Core 2 Quad Q8300 and Core 2 Quad Q9300 with a 7.5x multiplier were overclocked to 3.56 GHz (7.5 x 475 MHz) in order to be able to compete against Phenom II X4 920. It is the average frequency the owners of these processors can count on.
The previous-generation quad-core Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor is initially designed to work with 266 MHz bus, so its multiplier is higher and equals 9x. So, its overclocking potential was not limited by the mainboard, although high heat dissipation wouldn't let us push its frequency over 3.6 GHz (9 x 400 MHz).
To get a general idea of overclocked processors' performance we included a few high-end CPUs in their nominal mode: Core 2 Quad Q9650, Core i7-920 and Core i7-940. You will also see the results demonstrated by Phenom II X4 920, Core 2 Quad Q8300, Core 2 Quad Q9300 and Core 2 Quad Q6600 processors in their nominal mode. They will help us estimate the performance gain from overclocking.
As a result, we put together three different platforms on 7 processors:
1. AMD Socket AM2+ platform:
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 920 (Deneb, 2.8 GHz, 6 MB L3);
- Mainboard: Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H (AMD 790GX + SB750).
- Memory: GEIL GX24GB8500C5UDC (2 x 2 GB, DDR2-1067 SDRAM, 5-5-5-15).
- Graphics card: ATI RADEON HD 4870.
- HDD: Western Digital WD1500AHFD.
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista x64 SP1.
2. Intel LGA775 platform:
- CPUs:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (Yorkfield, 3.0 GHz, 333 MHz FSB, 2 x 6 MBL2);
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 (Yorkfield, 2.5 GHz, 333 MHz FSB, 2 x 3 MB L2);
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 (Yorkfield, 2.5 GHz, 333 MHz FSB, 2 x 2 MB L2);
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (Kentsfield, 2.4 GHz, 266 MHz FSB, 2 x 4 MB L2).
- Mainboard: ASUS P5Q Pro (Intel P45 Express).
- Memory: Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5 (DDR2-1067 SDRAM, 2 x 2 GB, 5-5-5-15).
- Graphics card: ATI RADEON HD 4870.
- HDD: Western Digital WD1500AHFD.
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista x64 SP1.
3. Intel LGA1366 platform:
- CPUs:
- Intel Core i7-940 (Bloomfield, 2.93 GHz, 8 MB L3);
- Intel Core i7-920 (Bloomfield, 2.66 GHz, 8 MB L3).
- Mainboard: ASUS P6T Deluxe (Intel X58 Express).
- Memory: Kingston HyperX KHX16000D3K3/3GX (DDR3-1333 SDRAM, 3 x 1 GB, 7-7-7-20).
- Graphics card: ATI RADEON HD 4870.
- HDD: Western Digital WD1500AHFD.
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista x64 SP1.
Four processors out of seven were tested not only in their nominal mode but also during overclocking:
- AMD Phenom II X4 920:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300:

I've always had a lot of love for Things for iOS, ever since I began using it on my iPhone 3G. But lately I've felt the iOS version has been lacking a few key features, and struggling to compete with rival solutions. Today, however, Things has received a massive update packed full of new features, including a fresh new look, and Things Cloud syncing. But does it do enough?
Apple's iCloud and Gatekeeper Make Businesses Choose One Security Risk Over Another
In putting together the various features of Mountain Lion, Apple may end up encouraging business and enterprise customers to actually make their Macs less secure instead of ratcheting up security as some key Mountain Lion capabilities are intended to do.
There are a handful of technologies involved, but they center around iCloud and Apple's requirement that apps sold in the Mac App Store support Apple's application sandboxing technique.
Apple's Sandboxing Deadline Has Arrived For Mac App Store Developers
It's June 1st, and that means Apple's deadline for when Mac developers need to have their apps sandboxed has come to pass. After months and months of extending the deadline to iron out technical details, all apps submitted to the Mac App Store must now obey Apple's sandboxing requirements. All existing Mac App Store apps cannot be updated until they meet the guidelines.
While sandboxing will mean safer and simpler Mac apps, there are some negative effects developers have to consider.
Debunked: Hotkey Apps Will Stay In The Mac App Store… For Now
TUAW reported earlier on Thursday that Apple was planning to start rejecting apps from the Mac App Store that used universal hotkeys to trigger functions and access features. The ban was supposedly set to go into effect on June 1st alongside Apple's app sandboxing deadline. A new report from Macworld debunks TUAW's claim by saying that Apple is not planning to start rejecting apps like Alfred that rely on universal keyboard shortcuts.
Apple To Reject Hotkey Apps From Mac App Store Starting June 1st [Rumor]
As OS X continues to become more of a consumer-oriented platform and less of a power user-friendly environment, Apple is reportedly set to begin enforcing new guidelines in the Mac App Store that will ban apps that use "hotkey" functionality.
Apps like Alfred are able to give the user a universal system hotkey that can be used to access the app anywhere in OS X. Starting on June 1st, Apple will be prohibiting these kinds of system-wide features from making their way into the Mac App Store.

Gun Control Works Example #365
While there is video of two men approaching Officer Collier's car, three law enforcement officials said, it does not clearly show their faces. But investigators now believe the brothers killed the officer to get another gun.
"He had a triple-lock holster, and they could not figure it out," a law enforcement official said. "There is evidence at the scene to suggest that they were going for his gun."
Just to suggest that a little MORE gun control, of VARIOUS sorts, would save more lives.
Oh crap, I agree with Jerry on an American poltical issue…
I've heard that a significant percentage of police that are shot in the USA have been done so with their own weapon, is this so?
If so, the example you provided is a good example of a great form of gun control – immensely sad that an officer had to die to demonstrate it.
Apart from what wmconelly said, what part of the gun control system is working?
Excuse my foreign bias, but nearly all the school massacres that we hear about are in the USA.
Now we need foreign warlords, communists, criminals, and dictators being shown given payouts to Obama and other politicians supporting weapon bans and control.
And the Democrats take money from the Trial Lawyers Association, the ACLU, the Sierra Clup, Code Pink, PETA and former Weathermen.
Sorry but most of the will of the people don't want more gun control unless it is background checks and mental health checks.
And as far how it is germane to the discussion both parties have their supporters going back to the Wigs and the Tories.
"I've heard that a significant percentage of police that are shot in the USA have been done so with their own weapon, is this so?"
This was a 3 minute search under "police shot with own weapon. Not too hard even for an unsophisticated user and it's the FBI database. Your assumption is totally incorrect, it is exactly the opposite situation. 72 officers were killed in 2011 and 3 of them were shot with their own weapon.
So you are saying the NRA does not give HUGE political donations to the Republican party? IT IS A FACT. Show me one fact backing up the rediculous statement you just made, otherwise you sir are just a liar.
"So you are saying the NRA does not give HUGE political donations to the Republican party?"
I think you will find that the NRA gave to both parties quite liberally and always has. They know they have democrats from high gun ownership states that they can influence. Lighten up on the "liar" pal, he was making a supposition, not denying the content of the cartoon. Here's some charts for you to see the facts behind some of the remarks made. Democrats have shown themselves very willing to take lobbying money from the NRA and others.
This might be a shock to some of the more rabid posters here, but the majority of the American people are a lot more interested in our economic problems than they are gun control. The latest gallup polls make interesting reading in that regard. This shows that currently Americans are primarily concerned about the Economy, unemployment, dissatisfaction with government, deficits, family decline, education etc. Guns ranked #9 out of 16 categories.
Logic would tell you that gun control is a heated emotional issue but not high on the priority list for most Americans. This is obviously not something we can ignore, but it says to me that there are many more important issues that we need to focus on, some of which will improve this situation. When the economy is healthy, crime goes down as well as violence. We desperately need for our elected leaders to do just that, LEAD, and they need us hammering on them to accomplish that. Bitching at each other in public forums may be momentarily gratifying but it does nothing to pressure our elected leaders. Phone calls and emails (both free) heat up the offices in Washington (and state and local). Make your noise and arguments there, where it can effect change.
Mickey I aagree I was just responding to Zoids stupid comment that foreign warlords, communists, criminals, and dictators contribute to Pres Obama. I said Republicans because that is who he obviously sides with by his rediculous remark and the tone of his comment was that the NRA does not contribute to Republicans. I am personally against the legality of lobbyist and special intrest groups, they ruin the whole ideal of being a Democracy.
"Mickey I aagree I was just responding to Zoids stupid comment"
I understand, it was definitely "over the top," and I don't pay much attention to remarks as such, I'm more concerned with the ferocity of the dialog and this issue definitely brings it out…
You had a metropolitan area of over a million disarmed citizens cowering in their homes at the mercy of random chance, two raging lunatics, and some nervouse police officers. Yeah…. gun control certainly works.

Pick a few values of , say and draw the points . When you have enough points that the shape of the curve is pretty clear then you can plot an approximation.
We have x(t)=1/3*t^3-5t and y(t)=t^2-2t
We need to sketch this curve and identify where the curve crosses the x-axis and where it crosses the y-axis.
I know how to graph x(t) and y(t), but how do you graph the actual curve?

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Diamonds are forever (or maybe not)
Kate 'keep-your-hand-off-me-h''apenny' Winslet and a small boy do the sober or drunk test.
The end of the film prompted some debate. Mr Grigg was adamant the old lady dropped the diamond into the icy waters by accident. Pelly and I were sure she'd planned it. Why else would she have bothered to get her toenails painted for the lingering camera shot on her surprisingly young looking feet? Mr Sheepwash, like a castaway picking out a winkle, is always one to get to the real truth of the matter. He simply went to the computer and googled 'Titanic Diamond Drop'. It appears this is not the first time the argument has surfaced. The search engine came with a number of similar online debates. And the consensus was that she meant to drop it.
We are off to a party this evening, an 18th to be precise. The boy's parents have hired the village hall and are filling it with people our age, which is great for us but I'm not so sure about the birthday boy. The theme is black and white. We were thinking dinner suits and little black dresses. But Mr Grigg and I are tempted to wear the priest's and nun's outfit we used for bellringing a few years ago. Watch this space.
That's about it
Love Maddie x

Fun to read.... if it's not a daft question, why did you wear costume for bellringing.. I don't remember my other half doing it.ReplyDelete
oh I so enjoyed visiting here this morning.. I saw the Titanic move a few years ago.. beautiful yet so disturbing. lovely love story it was.ReplyDelete
If you click on the a 'few years ago' link, PFG, at the bottom of my posting you should see why.ReplyDelete
Never seen Titanic....would be hoping for a happy ending (and know I'd be disappointed!)....ReplyDelete
yes, ending is sad and I cried my eyes out. Saw it years ago in the theater here in the states, beautiful set and costumes and music. And it airs here every once and awhile too on the tele. A fav film, one of many of course. :) xxx seashellReplyDelete
Titanic I always find a marvellous comedy. Billy Zane, such a ham; the ship tipping up at the end and all the people flying through the air; the cartoonish iceberg, and the piece de resistance, Kate Twinset squealing "Jack! Come back! Jack come back!"ReplyDelete
Yes, I believe she meant to drop it....my mother would do the same thing,"if I can't have it, nobdy else will"...speaks volumes!!!ReplyDelete
I do so enjoy visiting your world...
I have seen the beginning but only the first half an hour. I know the ending and I knew I would cry, decided that I didn't need to put myself through it! Have probably seen it all in clips by now. Well done for holding out so long though! Are you still singing 'the' song?ReplyDelete
Sorry - I won't be watching this movie again. Kate and Leo were just plain annoying. Glad to hear that you got it over with, though, and that you can tick off that box in your OC requirements.ReplyDelete
This made me laugh - I bet you talked all the way through it!ReplyDelete
Love your take on Titanic. I quite agree, Leo looked about 12 and Kate was like his Mum.ReplyDelete

Your satisfaction is always my professional priority. I sincerely feel when people select me to represent them in one of the "BIGGEST" transactions in their lives whether they're buying or selling a home, it's a great honor to be considered for the job. Also knowing there are a lot of real estate agents, it is very flattering and complimenting when I am called upon or referred.
Having been in the real estate business for over 25+ years, I have represented many buyers and sellers. As a "buyer's agent", this is how I work with a client:
1) We sit down and discuss the client's needs and wants (such as how many bedrooms, bathrooms, neighborhood,commute and any other concerns one may have) for their "dream home".
2) After our initial meeting, I set up appointments to look at properties with the parameters and guidelines the client has outlined for me. This is when we go out to see the homes so I can get a feel of the positives and negatives of what the client is looking for in a home.
3) At this point, I become your "personal shopper" for a home. I will have a good idea of what one's needs and wants are after discussing, listening, and showing them different properties. For example, in Alameda on Tuesday mornings, we have broker's tour. This is when all the new properties are previewed by the real estate agents. If I find a home which I think fits all the requirements, I'll then contact the client to come see it. Otherwise, I will be on the lookout for that "dream home".
When selling and listing a home for sale, I advise clients, "Your home is now a product and a show piece". In fact, a lot of times when the client sees how their home turns out after getting it ready to go market, they can't believe their eyes.
As a listing agent, these are some of the items I'd do to put one's house on the market and get the best price for them:
1) The key element in any real estate market is "PRICING". This is my job to become very knowledgeable with homes currently on the market, homes recently sold and all other elements which will reflect the true pricing on a home.
2) I will have a list of vendors such as contractors, gardeners, and stagers for my clients if they need any work done to put the property on the market.
3) I develop an extensive marketing plan to sell the property which includes promotional flyers, virtual tours, Realtor.Com, newspaper advertising, networking, broker's tour and open houses.
When it comes to negotiating, whether my client is a buyer or seller, I strive to get the "BEST" for them. My philosophy is: "I treat my client's money like my money".
Real estate is a true passion for me. I truly enjoy the business whether I am representing buyers or sellers. If you decide I'm the agent for you, I'd look forward to hearing from you.
"Anita represented me in selling my condo at the Market Square building in 2015. This was my first real estate transaction as a seller and Anita completely paved the way throughout the entire process. From the preparation and staging of the unit to the marketing and then the sales process, Anita worked tirelessly to make sure that everything proceeded smoothly and seamlessly. In fact the entire process from start to finish only took about a month! As a working professional, I didn't have a lot of time to devote to the process, but Anita was always there to make sure that every detail was completed. When I had questions or needed advice along the way, Anita had a wealth of knowledge from 25 years in the industry and is always easily reachable. Most importantly, Anita was extremely fair, honest, and trustworthy--I always felt at ease. I would highly recommend Anita to anyone looking for a trusted real estate agent. Thank you Anita!" David Goldman
"We would like to express how much we appreciated the efforts Anita put into selling our house. We especially appreciated the extra's (eg: spending time with us getting the house ready and going over every little detail). Those little extras meant a great deal to us. Your respect for our goals with selling our property and getting us what we wanted out of this was the biggest and maybe the best part of the service you offered. We felt that the quality of service and the presentation of our property couldn't be bettered by another real estate agent. Never an inconvenience always felt well looked after. We definitely recommend any further business be directly your way. Very Impressed." Harry & Harleen
"In our very first search as potential home-owners, my husband and I couldn't have been more fortunate to work with Anita Wong as our realtor. Anita was instantly approachable, knowledgeable, and savvy, inspiring trust and confidence during an intense seller's market. We felt truly comfortable working with her, grateful for her tremendous patience and advice, whether it had to do with recommendations for electricians, an appropriate bid, a risky gamble, or a safe location to raise a family. Above all, Anita's genuine warmth and friendship extend far beyond the typical "professional transaction", and have enjoyed each moment spent with her during our home search. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Anita Wong and her team, whether buying or selling a home." Eleanor & Marcus
Eleanor & Marcus were a referral and relocating from San Francisco. After putting in offers in the city and getting out bid, they discovered the East Bay (Alameda) wasn't too far from San Francisco. There were alternative commute systems such as Bart, AC Trans Bus and the Alameda Ferry, which was important to them. They also saw they got more house for their dollar compared to the city.
"Anita Wong
understands your motivation for selling or buying your house, she has a network
of resources that can take care of preparing your house for sale, can manage
the contractors and the process of readying your house for sale, consistently
follows up with you on details, is accessible at any time, and is someone you
can trust. I wholeheartedly endorse Anita Wong if you're seeking a realtor who
can get results, regardless of the obstacles." Jan Yee
Jan Yee is the daughter of Mr. Frank Yee who had a townhome in San Leandro. They were referred to me after I sold two other units in this planned community of Casa Leandro. Jan worked very closely with me getting her dad's property on the market to sell. Note: on offering date, we got a total of 18 offers—the property sold over asking price.
"Anita was always there to answer and explain any questions I had. If she didn't have the answer, she would get it for me. Anita clearly and patiently explained all the technicalities regarding the purchase of a home. She was also very available and extremely responsive to my calls. Anita Wong is someone who I have the utmost trust and confidence in as a realtor. She is honest, straightforward, sincere, and genuinely cares for her client." Yuki
Yuki was going through his first property purchase and the transaction went very smoothly. It was a very good experience for him.
"Anita is very realistic on the timing of selling a home, the pricing to attract the right buyer and the number of days needed to put the sale through escrow. Anita will tell you many times that the correct pricing to attract the right buyer is very important. Anita is a very professional and successful realtor." Carol Johnson Putney, David Johnson, Jim Johnson, & Elizabeth Johnson
Carol Johnson Putney, David Johnson, Jim Johnson, & Elizabeth Johnson sold their family home after their mother had lived there for 70+ years. I coordinated and contacted my vendors and contractors to get the house ready to sell. The end result was the house SOLD with multiple offers and went for well over the asking price! All the hard work paid off. Also, I evenly sold their aunt's home as well.
"From the day that I met Anita, I knew that she was a very special person. Not just a saleswoman with style and a great personality, but more importantly a person who cared about her clients in a way that words cannot describe. Throughout the whole process, Anita played several roles. She showed traits of a mother as she warned us when she thought that we were making a wrong decision. She also played teacher as she explained what all the legal terms meant when signing our papers. Lastly, she was our friend as we sat at a local restaurant discussing our future plans." Patrick and Amber Brose
Patrick and Amber Brose are clients that I met at the checkout line of Trader Joe's. They called me to be buyer's agent. I sold them their first condo which they kept for a rental. Several years later, they purchased a single family home through me. The real estate purchases and experiences dealing with me have been very positive.

Pinball video games have never been able to hold my attention. I've tried many throughout the years but end up always abandoning them after a few rounds. Having never grown up around arcades with pinball machines, the need to represent these attractions in virtual form seems somewhat arbitrary. Considering this, I can say that Marvel Pinball 3D is one of the stronger pinball games I've played. The good use of 3D, which is surprisingly rare in Nintendo 3DS games, is also a treat.
Marvel Pinball has already been released as an add-on to the console versions of Pinball FX2, and while this version is not as fully fleshed out as that iteration, the handheld offering will still entertain players in addictive fits and bursts. The game of pinball can go without much explanation, or so I hope for those diving into the title, and what will really matter for players is how fun the game tables are.
Four tables are available from the start and represent the game's only choices: Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Captain America and Blade. For the most part, the influence of these properties and their movie counterparts succeed in capturing the world of these characters and crafting entertaining environments.
I found myself addicted to the majority of the boards, playing round after round to improve my score. These tables are well-crafted and full of nooks and crannies to explore, allowing players to find new sources of points at every turn. It's a joy to watch the Blade table turn from day to night and discover the changes that occur when launching the pinball down paths in both modes.
Iron Man's table felt like the weakest inclusion, if only because of its smaller size and lack of variation. Still, I found myself frequently returning to it. One drawback to it, though, is that targeting the same few locations is a reasonable strategy. Given the small playing field, this became somewhat tedious.
Blade's inspiration has led to an intriguing board I found myself playing more often than I expected. The changes in lighting and the inclusion of a weapons shop on one side of the board are two standout aspects, but for the table's middling size there are plenty of options for earning major points.
Captain America is not the most attractive table, but the characters standing atop it interact in several interesting ways when triggered. The Cosmic Cube in particular is a fun piece of the board to interact with and leads to some amusing alterations.
The Fantastic Four offering is the largest and will likely take players a number of rounds to fully investigate. Yet even with its relatively expansive size, it is still an easily navigable table with the proper aiming. Luckily, each table comes with an in-game guide to highlight the many facets of the boards. Each table also has 4 or 5 challenges to be completed, but even after these have been dominated, players will likely come back to improve their scores as often as I did and intend to do in the future.
With less content than its other versions, however, there is not much to see beyond these four tables. A multiplayer "hotseat" mode is included, and players can combine their scores with those of their friends to increase their hero score. Other than this incentive though, the tables demand replay simply because they are such well-constructed offerings.
What may keep you returning to the title is the visual improvement the 3D makes. The tables animate well and are fun to watch in 2D, but they truly shine with the 3D turned up to its highest level. The tables come to life, and the 3D nature of a real pinball table, which would have railways and paths above the flat surface, is imitated so well that I rarely shut the 3D down. It does not change the way the game is played, but the feature is so smoothly implemented that I think the download is almost worth the effect itself. This authenticity is only improved by a physics engine that gives the pinball the verisimilitude of real weight to it, allowing each shot to feel true to how a real-life pinball would act on these boards.
I have always seen pinball videogames as more of a novelty than as truly enjoyable titles, but Marvel Pinball 3D is a fantastic entry into the genre. While I'm not often a proponent of 3D, it improves the experience far more than I would have expected. Marvel Pinball may not the most robust pinball game out there, but it can be easy to ignore the lack of content when what's present is so addicting.
Here's the Rundown:
+ 3D actually makes for a better playing experience.
+ Tables are addicting and encourage frequent replays.
– Total lack of presentation.
– There just isn't that much here.
7 and 7.5 represent a game that overall manages to be worth a playthrough, just not worth the full price at launch. These scores are for games that are relatively good or even really good, but generally worth waiting for a sale or picking up as a rental when possible.
Marvel Pinball 3D was developed and published by Zen Studios for the 3DS. The game was released on June 28, 2012 and is available via the Nintendo eShop for $7.99. A copy was supplied to RipTen for review purposes.

We provide extraordinary care for fine
garments & household textiles
U Men is an upscale lifestyle magazine
(over 2 million subscribers) targeting career-minded men all over
the Middle East.
Page through any issue of U Men and you'll find that it's very
similar in content and style to GQ Magazine (by the way, GQ only
has 750,000 subscribers).
Every month U Men publishes a one or two page Q and A column on
men's fashion and style hosted by celebrity fashion stylist Remy
In the December 2010 issue, Remy introduced RAVE FabriCARE to U
Men's readers via his Q and A column.
Here's the question:
"I have many made-to-measure couture suits, shirts and
trousers. However, some of which were ruined by my local dry
cleaner. I know I should have stopped going there at the first sign
of damage, but I thought
after mentioning the problem it would be rectified. Unfortunately,
when my favorite suit took a hit, I said,
"Basta!" What criteria should I
seek in a dry cleaner to maintain my fabulous
And here's his answer:
"...For couture clothing you'll need to find the highest quality
dry cleaner, even if it means shipping your clothes to another town
or country. Believe it or not, I have clients who do this
regularly. The first time their garments were damaged the cleaners
would never accept the responsibility and tried to put the blame
To avoid headaches look for a dry cleaner that is recognized by
authoritative third parties and that services upscale department
stores and boutiques, whose employees are skilled technicians, and
well-versed in caring for designer garments.
In addition to this you should seek out a facility that uses
state-of-the-art equipment designed to handle such clothing and
uses gentle, dermatologically-friendly, non-dye-stripping dry
cleaning fluids and wet cleaning detergents.
This ideal facility will always hand iron your fine garments and
never machine press them. Your whites, creams and pastels will
remain spectacularly bright and your colors will stay rich and
lustrous without that washed out, faded look. This will prevent
garments from coming back shiny, over-pressed and showing wear from
being treated with harsh chemicals. Or, worse yet, still showing
soil on the collars and cuffs. From my own experience,
that's why I faithfully send my designer garments to
RAVE FabriCARE, a full service fabric care specialist based in
Scottsdale, Arizona and recognized as one of the USA's premier dry
cleaners. (italics added)"
By the way, make sure to look for Remy's new coffee table book
on how to discover, create and build a men's personal fashion
style. The book, Legends Of Style, is due out in early 2011.

|< newer release | older release >
|Hear it from the horse's mouth with a Horse Whisperer – the new communication and team building programme available at Swinton Park
|Date: 8th May, 2007
| The
Events and Conferences department at Swinton Park has teamed up
with the Learning to Listen centre, based nearby on the Swinton
Estate, to offer delegates a communication and team building package
with a difference.
The centre is run by Sarah Kreutzer, who trained with the legendary horse whisperer Monty Roberts in the States and has now adapted her skills for training and developing interpersonal skills at a corporate level. "A Horse Whisperer is a master of non-verbal communication, and it is by working with horses that we can interpret and develop an individual's relationship and communication skills." explains Sarah Kreutzer-Brett."Whether or not you are comfortable in the company of horses is irrelevant for training purposes. Working with the horses is an altogether different experience for a group or an individual, which takes them away from the conventional and sometimes blinkered mindsets of today's ordinary training environment."
The training offered would be suitable to mixed groups at all
levels of the corporate structure, and can be packaged to suit
a group's requirements. A half day experience would cost
in the region of £50 per delegate. The nearby facilities
at Swinton Park, the luxury castle hotel in the Yorkshire Dales,
include 30 bedrooms, 5 meeting rooms, private dining, country
pursuits, spa and a cookery school run by the celebrity TV chef
Rosemary Shrager.

click here to read article
This means nothing. I suppose since most people don't even know what is meant by "Phyla" they don't realize that being a creature with a backbone puts you in the same Phyla as a Trout or a Toad.
Here is a list of all the Phyla.
Phylum Common Name Number of Species
Porifera sponges 10,000
Symplasma glass sponges 500
Placozoa placozoan 1

Loricifera loriciferans 100
Priapula priapulans 17
Rotifera rotifers 1800
Acanthocephala thorny-headed worms 1000
Onychophora velvet worms 70
Uniramia uniramians or ateloceratans 1,000,000 These Phyla togther make up a group traditionally called Arthropoda, because they share a hardened exoskleton and jointed legs.
Chelicerata chelicerates (98% arachnids) 63,000
Crustacea crustaceans 40,000
Pentastoma tongue worms 100
Tardigrada water bears 600

ID is the same as creationism." Ever hear of the Wedge document? ID is a back door attempt to introduce creationism in schools. A lot of creationist organizations, like the Discovery Institute, have people saying that the designer in ID is the God of the Bible. You can't get more religious than that and it shows that ID is the code term for creationism
I didn't say that. I replied to it. Read further down in the reply for my take on it.
Agreed, but why the utter disdain for those of us that do believe?
HUH???? I think you met this for someone else. I haven't gotten on anyone here and am a firm believer in the Bible and creationism. That is throught faith and my own confirmation of it. However, I do believe science is important too.
The problem with "the problem with evolution" is that 1) pre-Cambrian diversity has been found (the organisms are unexpectedly tiny) and 2) the gentic evidence is that the various major lines diverged far earlier.
refreing to things like the dragonflies from the Cambrian that had 2 foot wingspans
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad mosquitoes aren't that size.
Saying something has no natural explanation because it is complex is not scientific, it is capitulation. ID offers no scientific insight that is not included in other theories that do not require reworking all of science to make it fit.
Boy, that's a mouthful to say:)
If anything, since so many different Species came from so few Phyla, the factoid misrepresented in this article actually supports the idea that evolution happened.
AAARRRRGH!!!! I have got to put those tags in there so that people will stop referencing things I'm replying to. :)
Some of those "other" theories are fascinating. It will be interesting to see what comes out over the next few years.
What a waste of bandwidth.
God is not religion. A religion is a belief system requiring a certain amount of blind faith, and while most are based upon a belief in a supreme being, some are not. It takes just as much faith to believe in one unproved theory as it does to believe in another, regardless of whether or not God is included in the equation
Good comment though I would say (with regards to the Wiccans), what many people seem to regard as religion IS based upon a belief in a supreme being.
This isn't true, but it's not really the issue, is it?
Science does not deal with metaphysics, philosophy, or the supernatural.
I do think the divide will blur a little with some of the stuff that will probably come out later this century (e.g. string theory).
To a pastafarian, is Atkins "he who must not be named?
And those with celiac disease are just plain out of luck.
But that is not the point. The point is to stop research. A couple monts ago Harvard announced a million dollar seed grant to study biogenesis, and the creationists were beside themselves that science would commit itself to solving the problem.
To a pastafarian, is Atkins "he who must not be named?
Is a vegetarian an anti-pastafarian???
only if he's anti-pasta.
Except in spelling, grammar, sentence structure and critical thinking.
Actually, the chaos prior to the great noodle extrusion is referred to as antepasta.
Thanks for the ping!
This discussion is baking my noodle.
This doesn't cause me any stress. Pointing out the idiocies of this claptrap is FUN!!
I seriously doubt your namecalling brings more people into the evo flock.
Well, I am not evangelizing on behalf of anything. A scientific theory is accurate or not on its own and depends not a whit on whether the general public believes it. But, further, so long as there is a First Amendment, the drive to teach this ID/creationism drivel in school science classes will fail, irrespective of its popularity with the ill-informed.
No, God created the universe is a fact, just as Jesus came to this earth and died for your sins is a fact. The Holy Bible explains that fact. And anyone who claims not to believe in this is, in the words of God, a fool. Look it up.
I've looked it up and the Jews say Jesus was just a man and certainly no Messiah; the Muslims say he was a prophet of Allah and has disdain for the Christians who insult him by saying he was the Son of God; the Rastafarians are p.o.'ed that you didn't point out that Haile Selassie I was the Messiah returned, thereby denying his divinity; and the Hindus, atheists, Buddhists, Animists, Wiccans, Confucionists, agnostics, Sikhs, etc., etc., etc., all had more important things to discuss.
Thanks. These threads are always fascinating.
You are attempting to prove something by assuming the conclusion that the Bible is the word of God. Some creationists argue that logic is important. Apparently others don't.
Dude, you missed the most important source. The actual Bible. Why read what others have to say about him when he tells you in his own words.
Apply this to something close to you. Would you like me to tell you about Darwin from what others who are "enemies" or friends say. You would not accept those others as reliable sources of someones character...why would you accept it about God? Read his word and you do not have to concern yourself about what others say.
If you approach him in humility, he will reveal himself to you personally.
Take a look at Biblical Hermeneutics The Science of Interpreting the Bible.
Take a look at Biblical Hermeneutics The Science of Interpreting the Bible.
My mistake. My quote vs post detector suffered interference at that time.
Its an attack on the human "spirit" and any other kind of "Spirit".. i.e God..
Is the human body a vehicle for a spirit?..
or merely or grandly a "three dimensional lifeform".?..
Because those are the questions that evolution poses..
Where did the human body come from?.. is minutia..
And is argued as a diversion from the REAL questions.. on purpose or not..
Intelligent atheists should be saying, "If there is no god, well, there ought to be one... as a lament not proudly as if they knew something as a mere primate.. If there is no god then one should be invented immediately.. The smartest thing mankind ever did was invent Gods.. them being Primates.. Apeing reality..
Every culture has invented a God.
Does this tell you something about the nature of the infinite?
Or does it tell you something about the nature of man?
The other day I was watching the hummingbirds after the cardinal flowers. The blur of the wings, the angling balance of the tail, the hovering, the fearlessness of humans, moving backwards and downwards like a helicopter...no other bird can do these things. No other bird is so small, or burns so much fuel. So, where's the "in between " bird and hummingbird--? For such differences to emerge, you'd need several "missing links."
It's this logical problem that I don't hear addressed, or the question I always ask--how do you evolve an immune system while you're busy trying to evolve a beating heart? And eyes, and the skin...the computer-hormone chemical system that makes an organism's organs all "talk" to one another? And don't you always need a Mrs. to go with your newly-evolved Mr. Species?
Why hasn't centuries of breeding livestock, in geographic isolation, not produced a new species of something? If it happens so readily by accident, why can't it be reproduced on purpose?
I did study some biology, and believe that it is really impossible to study life without using the "tree of life" theory as a paradigm to illustrate the interrelatedness of organisms.
And the "scientists" themselves use language dogmatic, patronizing and unscientific. They don't speak in terms of "best reasonable explanation"--but insist that you believe--
BOTH.. but both terms, "infinite" and "nature of man" are nebulous terms.. with infinite iterations..
Humility and gratitude are not nebulous and are two of the rarest things on earth.. and doors into "awareness".. Awareness into what?.. I dunno, I havent fully arrived there yet myself..
But my point is that the Jews, Muslims, Rastas, Hindus, etc. all claim to be friends of God, and that you are the "enemy of God," just as you are claiming to be the friend of God and that they are the enemies. You say the Bible is his word, and the others say you are wrong. On that evidence, determining who is a "fool" and who is not is simply a fruitless challenge.
Well, you do have a saintly view of scientists. Sometimes it looks to me like a relentless thirst for Grant Money. Science can be a tough business, sometimes a corrupting one, and it'd be nice to think that it was a Monastery of Truth-Seeking...maybe on good days, it is.
We can make a Shaman of a scientist as easily as we did Jim Jones. They are limited by "original sin"---just like all of us.
There was a NOVA program last week about the "Scablands" in Washington. Apparently they're fairly unique geologically - dry waterfalls, areas that look like waves lapping, etc, and 1 guy - don't remember his name - proposed that they had been formed by a large flood of water about 15,000 years ago. He didn't know where the water might have come from.
The scientists of the day said - how could that be, we know the earth was formed millions of years ago in a low process - and basically shut him up for a number of years.
Then, about 10 years later, another scientist discovered some unique geological features in Montana. It looked like there was a glacier there, forming a large body of water, and then the glacier gave way and the water was released, thereby forming the scablands and other unique features.
I fell asleep a little while after, but understand from a friend that the scientists finally decided that this was one of many things that affected the geology over huge amounts of time.
Short and not very good summary, but I thought it was interesting that the bias (can I say that about scientists??) of his colleagues prevented the true information from being recognized for many years.
We may have just a bit of that kind of groupthink going on these days, whatcha think?
I see what you are saying. If you dont see any difference between those religions than sure...thats what you'd think. The god those other religions discuss is not the same as mine. Mine is the God of the Bible. The Christian God.
Dealing with the afterlife is ultimately more important than how we all started here. Maybe someday you can PM me and we'll discuss why Christ matters.
And btw, my "fool" reference is simply doing a biblical word search on "fool". Proverbs has great short quotes full of wisdom and wit. It is not how I define that word...its how Gods Word does.
Yeah, that representative republican form of government can be a real bitch, especially if you don't have the majority.

Fantasy Guru Daily: 5/16/11
Hey, it is finally that day we have all been waiting for! Mediation is back! Woohoo! The NFL and decertified NFLPA will meet in front of Judge Arthur Boylan, and while any negotiating sessions could theoretically help lead to an agreement between the two sides, we will not hold our breath until there is a ruling from Judge David Doty in the lockout damages case and/or a ruling from the 8th Circuit on the enjoined lockout. But still, yay mediation!
Mediation resumes… Don't get your hopes up. Only a couple days of talks are scheduled, and both sides are certainly fulfilling a court-ordered obligation to meet. Otherwise, they'd be waiting idly on court rulings, just like the rest of us. Any meeting might produce a sliver of hope if one side shows signs of caving, but we don't see any way the sides don't wait for a court ruling from the 8th Circuit to make any sort of moves. In the meantime, Patriot owner Robert Kraft, maybe the most moderate voice in this whole mess, offers some words of warning to both the owners and players. We believe the fans are already angry enough, but Kraft is right: if a deal [...]

|Viewing Single Post From: RUMOR: Craig Wesley paying a visit to Salem?
|Jul 6 2009, 04:23 PM
Except Daniel has already been with two other former patients. Plus, this would be the third guy Chloe has dated/slept in a short amount of time (fourth if you count Brady). I was not a Phloe fan, but I admit a triangle that made more sense would be Chloe between Philip and Lucas and not keeping adding characters for her to sleep with.
What is probably the most frustrating other then the porno breast exam is that when Lucas was brought in, he was clearly the 3rd wheel. Chloe had found out her missing husband was in drug rehabilitation (not that she looked hard for him) and asked for a divorce. She ran to Philip who immediately started things back up, but then wound up getting pushed aside for Morgan. I'm sure that hurt her self esteem. Lucas had his own issues with finding Sami now in bed with EJ and trying to get back into life. It was clear from the getgo that their tryst was a means to boost each of their egos and honestly there isn't anything necessarily wrong in that. It's not like they were cheating on anyone.
But then the show decided it made perfect sense to have them a) move in together b) have clumsy Chloe attempt to be stepmom of the year and c) Lucas has to propose marriage to everyone woman who sleeps with him and ask Chloe to marry him. Chloe's own acceptance of his proposal made no sense. She is a beautiful woman who just saw a promising marriage end disastrously. Why would she think a guy she has lukewarm feelings for be easier to live with? Her attraction to Daniel began to manifest itself in that time, and I think any shrink would tell you it's not so much about attraction or love for Daniel that is drawing her to him, it's the fact she knows she doesn't want to be Lucas, but was too chicken to tell him.
Daniel going after Chloe made him look bad again, not just because she's his 3rd patient he was attracted to but there is no reason for him to remain in Salem anyway. What is it about this non surfing town that keeps him there? He has no family. He doesn't have any lifelong friends that are residents there. It can't be because Salem General is some kind of tabernacle of medical achievement, countless patients who have died there have popped right back up very much alive sometimes just days later. After watching him chase a nearly pubescent girl, then get it with her grandma, are we really to applaud him for coveting after the fiancee of the son/uncle of his former girlfriends? Doesn't he have more dignity then that?
I hate triangles but I admit they can serve a useful function if the story is right. A good triangle will either allow the two rivals to be equal in the girl's affection or make it easier to root for the "good guy" to win over the "bad". We've really got nobody rootable here. Daniel and Chloe look like orange pornrabbits in their fantasies while Lucas being the ignorant tool is so very tired.

Black Boys Prime Targets for School-to-Prison Pipeline
Dorothy Rowley | 3/13/2013, 9 a.m.
Ward 8 Council member Marion Barry said however, that there's also the need for additional programs like Spingarn STAY and Ballou STAY "that really work," reducing truancy and dropout rates.
"When it comes to our black boys, truancy is a very serious, cultural and historical problem," said Barry, 76. "A lot of them are truant because their fathers were truant."
Barry said he often sees young black males "hanging out" during classroom hours and urges them to go to school.
"Some of them have given up hope . . . but the bottom line is that there are no real consequences if these kids don't show up for school," Barry said. "City officials, including the chancellor, are just not that serious about combatting truancy."
During a Feb. 23 forum at Anne Beers Elementary School in the Hillcrest community in Southeast, Judge Zoe Bush, who presides over family matters at the D.C. Superior Court in Northwest, said truancy is a "complicated social problem." However, eradicating truancy takes a collaborative effort, she said.
"Truancy is connected to collaborative services, and then you can improve that child's attendance. But, you can't wait to cure poverty in order to cure truancy," said Bush, 58.
She stressed that a majority of young black incarcerated males read on a 4th-grade level, and that if the issue of truancy isn't taken more seriously, "society will pay the cost."
Meanwhile, a coordinator for the community advocacy group, Black is Back, said truancy is a symptom of what's wrong with the educational system.
Freedom Koofshaw said that the 15 school closings mandated in January by Henderson, serves as a prime example of how easy it is to manipulate impoverished pockets in various communities, where most of the closings are slated to take place by the end of 2013.
"Attacking the school system is one way of opening the pipeline that leads our boys to prison," said Koofshaw, 41. "The other is the dollar signs that large corporations see whenever there's a charter school takeover . . . This combination of charter schools that are for profit, and the prison system which is for profit, is a dangerous mix that is a direct attack on our little black boys."
Koofshaw added that even if the young men return to school, there are no "real" programs to get them back on track and to keep them there.
"That's why they put resource officers in the schools who have arresting powers - because that's a sure way of getting our young boys on the road to prison."

Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi (1932–2009) was one of the most eminent Jewish historians of the twentieth century.

Given his passion for world literature, as well as the lyrical quality of his prose and the care that he lavished on his writing, it is perhaps surprising that "Gilgul" is the first and only piece of fiction that Yerushalmi published. It appeared after his death in the August 15 & 22, 2011, edition of the New Yorker. The short-story form permitted him to experiment with a new mode of writing that mixed his best writerly instincts as narrator and his substantial skills as historian....

DOE testing in support of the ENERGY STAR program has revealed that an Electrolux Gibson air conditioner (model GAH105Q2T1) and an Equator clothes washer (model EZ 3720 CEE), both of which claimed ENERGY STAR ratings, do not meet the ENERGY STAR requirements. Specifically, the test results for the Electrolux Gibson model show that, when tested in accordance with DOE's test procedures, it consumed 6.1 percent more energy than the Energy Star requirement. Test results for the Equator model show that it exceeds Energy Star's water factor requirements by 12.3 percent.
Neither company disputed the DOE test results, and both reported that they are discontinuing the models at issue. DOE is referring both models to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for appropriate action with respect to the Energy Star program.

China Health Communications Campaigns
One-third of all smokers in the world live
in China.
That's 301 million people.
China is one of the highest-burden countries when it comes to tobacco use and its associated health harms. 53% of Chinese men smoke, and 7 out of 10 non-smokers are exposed to secondhand smoke in a typical week.
At the same time, fewer than 1 in 4 adults are aware of the health risks associated with smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.
Since 2007, WLF has been working with both national and subnational government partners in China to change the outlook of this epidemic, by providing technical assistance, materials, and financial support. Our work has helped to advocate for and enforce stronger tobacco control laws in more than 43 cities across the country, and has been seen by more than 300 million Chinese citizens.
Here are a just few of the campaigns we have supported in China:

Prescott National Forest

Comprised of about 1.25 million acres, the Prescott borders three other National Forests in Arizona: Kaibab, Coconino, and Tonto. Roughly half of the forest lies west of the city of Prescott, Arizona, in the Juniper, Santa Maria, Sierra Prieta, and Bradshaw Mountains. The other half of the Forest lies east of Prescott and takes in the Black Hills, Mingus Mountain, Black Mesa, and the headwaters of the Verde River.
Portions of the Prescott National Forest today are much the same as they were when Sam Miller panned for gold in Lynx Creek and was wounded by a cougar, or when General Crook's flag fluttered over Palace Station.
At the lowest elevation, the primary vegetation is of the Sonoran Desert type. As the elevation rises, chaparral becomes common, followed by piñon pine and juniper. Above that, Ponderosa pine dominates the landscape.

Various classes from age 2.5yrs upwards.
And sorry, but naomi - if your child didn't want to join in, I would put her in the corner - everyone's treated equally at Deltoro's and Miss Jane doesn't let any child spoil it for others who want to learn.
I went to DelToro school of dance for 14 years and couldn't IMAGINE my childhood without it. Deltoro is like a home away from home for your child. Both my sisters went there and we have all performed in shows, as well as the national Mardi Gras dance competition. Jane Deltoro is AMAZING and I would recommend it to anybody looking to go. It was literally heartbreaking to leave - hoping to send my children there one day!
I went to this dance school (many years ago) and really loved the teacher miss jane. I left 10 years ago and have now got a baby girl and can not wait to starty her there!! Highly recommend!!!!!!
After reading the earlier review I feel compelled to add my own review of Del Toro. My daughter started ballet lessons at Del Toro just before her 3rd birthday, she is now 4 and looks forward to her ballet lesson all week. I have always found the staff to be fantastic with my daughter, and the atmosphere to be warm and welcoming, I have never found any reason to fault their treatment of my daughter.
I took my 3 yrs old daughter here today. And was VERY DISAPPOINTED with the way she was treated. This was not only the first time she'd been to a dancing/ ballet lesson but also the first time we'd attended here. The lady seemed really nice and good with the children. She went off fine but after a while I could here my daughter crying hysterical, telling the lady she wanted her mummy. I open the door to find my daughter had been made to stand in the corner of the room as she didn't want to join in. I was so shocked, disgusted and disappointed. I certainally will not be taking my daughter back there or recomending it to anyone.
Hi classes run everyday except sunday. My daughters both started when they where 3yrs old, my eldest daughter is now 9yrs and both still absolutely love it.
Hi - does anyone know what days these classes run please?

The 136th Preakness Stakes is in the books, as Shackleford held on against a fast-closing Animal Kingdom to win. He stamped himself as a tough horse, showing yet again that it is almost impossible to get by him.
But now it is time to look forward.
There won't be a Triple Crown winner this year, a pill that is hard to swallow after how much I believed Animal Kingdom could be the one. It's a tough task to ask any horse to win three consecutive races, much less a three-year-old to beat the best horses three consecutive times.
Anyway, here are my five bold predictions for the Belmont and beyond.
