Compared to other computer components, a system case is a highly conservative product. Mainboards, hard disks and processors all call for an upgrade once every two or three years if you want to keep your computer up to date. And replacing a processor with a faster one often requires that you replace your mainboard, too. As opposed to that, a system case can survive not one or two but many upgrades. That's why many people prefer purchasing as good a computer case as they can afford because it is going to serve not one or two years, like a graphics card, but much longer.
That's quite okay with the manufacturers who don't have to bother about updating their model range constantly. If a good system case gets popular, it can sell successfully for a long time. On the other hand, they must promote the demand somehow and entice customers into replacing their current system cases with newer and better ones, just like it goes with other computer components.
Alas, new system cases are often but versions of older ones with a redesigned front panel. More serious innovations provoked by changes in design trends can be observed no sooner than once in a few years. Transitioning to larger fans, moving the power supply into the bottom part of the chassis, providing a special compartment to hide cables in are the kinds of innovations that have been very slow to arrive. Their introduction often coincided with a debut of a completely new product series.
It's somewhat different with the front-panel connectors. On one hand, they are often implemented as a separate unit and can be easily replaced. On the other hand, most manufacturers don't bother about adding anything to the standard selection of two audio connectors, two USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire. The eSATA interface is not new but has only recently ceased to be a unique feature of expensive system cases. And now that the manufacturers have got accustomed to eSATA, there is another new interface to be implemented, USB 3.0 (you can read more about it in our earlier review). Of course, it is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 and even has a same-size connector, but has more signal lines, so the connector is different anyway. Another problem is that this interface is not often implemented on mainboards as an onboard header. USB 3.0 connectors can usually be found at the mainboard's back panel so far.
Notwithstanding these difficulties, some manufacturers have already offered new system cases with USB 3.0 ports. Let's have a look at them, especially as these models would be interesting even without their USB 3.0.
We are always glad to test an Antec system case as this company has regularly pleased us with very good products. This time around, it is the flagship model of the new Dark Fleet gaming series.
As becomes a flagship, the DF-85 is large. It is a real Big Tower. Although lacking the gloss of the Performance and the practicality of the Hundred series, this model attracts the eye. Its intricate and irregular front panel with the excrescence at the top provokes associations with ships or rather with spaceships. It seems to come from those sci-fi books where a pompous fleet of huge spaceships travels the entire galaxy to destroy a dozen or two of planets. So, the visual effect of the DF-85 is most impressive.
Take note of the windowed side panel. This model is going to be appreciated by people who like to look at their computer components (or to show them to others).
Let's examine the top panel first. Here, in front of the two 140mm fans covered with punched-out grids, we can see the ship's queerly shaped superstructure.
It is there that the system case's buttons and connectors reside. The Power and Reset buttons are placed at the opposite sides, so you can't confuse them. They are half-sunken into the slanting plastic surface, which provides some additional protection against an accidental press.
The front-panel connectors are in between the buttons. A pair of audio connectors is complemented with as many as three USB 2.0 ports. There is also a USB 3.0 port which can be easily identified by its blue color. There is another connector above but we'll discuss it later. We can only add that this system case lacks eSATA, which is a downside.
As we've written above, today's mainboards don't come with onboard USB 3.0 headers, so the manufacturer of this system case had to recall one old trick. The cable from the front-panel connector goes along the entire chassis and then outside through the special back-panel bracket with a hole. Then this cable is just plugged into the mainboard's back-panel USB port. Although lacking in elegance, this solution is the simplest possible. The only thing we don't quite understand is why that bracket is so bright and shiny while the system case is black overall.
The USB 3.0 cable is thick in one spot so that you could fix it within the bracket. As a result, the cable doesn't hang loosely inside, and its "tail" behind the back panel looks more or less neat.
The remaining connector on the top panel can be easily identified as soon as you take a look at it from above through the transparent plastic. It is a couple of SATA connectors (interface and power) that are placed outside the system case so that you could attach a 2.5-inch hard disk drive to them. This is a very odd solution, we must confess. Thick hard drives (12.5 rather than 9.5 mm) cannot be plugged in at all because the plastic frame at the front gets in the way. And when you do manage plug an HDD in, it will stick out precariously. You can tear off the connector by accidentally pushing the connected HDD. Furthermore, the purpose of this arrangement is unclear because most users prefer to install 2.5-inch drives into external enclosures that convert the drive's native SATA into USB interface.
Let's get back to the front panel, though. Besides the superstructure, its appearance is determined by the plastic brackets covering the 5.25-inch bays. Although they look original, it is not handy that you have to push them aside each time you need to access your optical drive. Users who install manual fan controllers and other such devices into 5.25-inch bays won't like that, either.
There are only three 5.25-inch bays in this system case, though. Most of the front panel is occupied by three doors which provide access to the HDD bays. Perhaps some users will miss more 5.25-inch bays, but we guess the configuration of the DF-85 is more adequate for today's applications. There is a dust filter in front of the fan on each door. You can easily take the filters off for cleaning.
The speed of the front fans can be adjusted by means of the small control in the bottom right of each door.
By the way, the doors are not so easy to open. There is a common guide inside the plastic front panel. It is shared by the three doors and its position is changed by means of a small lever inside the chassis. When the guide is closed, you can't open the doors without damaging them.
Frankly speaking, it is unclear why the manufacturer provides quick access to HDDs from the front if you still have to open the side panel to access the lever and open the doors. You can leave the guide open all the time, but that's not enough because HDDs are fastened in the bays by means of thumbscrews.
The back panel is rather ordinary. The PSU bay is at the bottom, and the power supply is fastened to a detachable frame that is compatible with Antec's exclusive CPX format. We can also see two openings for the pipes of a liquid cooling system and two 120mm fans here.
You can find four tiny 2-way switches in the top left of the back panel. You will easily guess their purpose if you have ever dealt with modern top-end system cases from Antec. These switches set the speed mode of the system fans. Take note that each switch has only two positions. The manufacturer has abandoned three-way speed management, so the TriCool fan series is now replaced with TwoCool fans.
The feet are very simple. They are four rubber cylinders placed at the corners of the bottom panel.
Removing the side panel, you can have a look at the translucent plastic with a fan seat. It is designed for 120mm fans. Interestingly, two poles of the fan seat are made from the same translucent plastic while the other two are made from soft silicone which is usually used for vibration-absorbing pads for HDDs. This solution is meant to reduce vibrations and noise.
As you can expect from such a huge chassis, there is a lot of free space inside. The quality is high, the steel is 0.8 millimeters thick, and there is no chance you can cut your fingers when assembling your computer in this system case.
It is simple to install a power supply here. You just put it down on the four rubber poles and screw it to the back panel. Take note that a PSU with a horizontal fan can only be installed with the fan up. There are no vent holes in the bottom of the case.
There are four holes in the center of the bottom panel. Judging by the distance between the holes, a 2.5-inch HDD (or an SSD) is supposed to be installed there. You shouldn't use that place for a drive you plan to take off frequently because you have to turn the whole system case upside down to unfasten the screws.
By the way, if you do install an HDD on the bottom panel, your choice of PSUs will be limited to models with a length of 21 centimeters or shorter.
The back-panel brackets are meshed and fastened with thumbscrews. That's handy but you have to use a screwdriver for the first time anyway because the thumbscrews are very tightly fastened at the factory to prevent them from getting lost during transportation.
As we've said above, the front rack is solid, without individual baskets. Its larger section contains 3.5-inch bays. The smaller section consists of only three 5.25-inch bays.
Trying to install our optical drive into the top bay, we faced an unusual problem. The back of the drive pressed against the fan while its front panel was still sticking out by about 5 millimeters although our drive is not very large, only 180 millimeters. We hadn't expected to feel a lack of space in this system case, really. Of course, you can install your drive into a lower bay or buy a shorter model (most of today's optical drives are 170 millimeters long), yet that was quite an unpleasant surprise.
The DF-85 can accommodate nine HDDs. You can enable hot swapping for four of them if you use the included mechanisms which are fastened to the back of the HDD bays. That's a cheap, simple and rather handy solution, but it prevents you from securing your HDDs with screws.
The DF-85 offers a really handy way of hiding cables out of sight. There are a lot of openings leading to the hidden compartment and you will find cable ties in there. Most importantly, the compartment is large, about 2 centimeters wide, so you won't have problems laying even thick cables in there. The thickest bunches of cables can be tucked away behind the drive bays. There is a generous amount of free space there.
When we were assembling our test configuration in this system case, we realized that it was not very long, actually. The distance from the back panel to the drive bays is 312 millimeters, but the sticking-out drives leave only 300 millimeters for the graphics card, and you may want to have some 15 millimeters more for the HDD connectors. If you use the hot-swap adapters, the expansion cards will only have 265 millimeters to settle in.
You get a lot of space for your CPU cooler, though. Instead of a standard 170 millimeters, this system case can accommodate CPU coolers as tall as 180 millimeters. And if you decide to install the radiator of a liquid cooling system above the mainboard by fastening it to the top panel, you will have as many as 75 millimeters, not counting in the 25 millimeters occupied by the system fans. The only thing you have to remember is that the fan seats here only support 140mm fans standing next to each other (a radiator for two 120mm fans can be fastened outside, on the back panel of the system case, though).
Another thing you should take into account is that an extension cord for the 12V CPU power connector is not included into the box. So, if your power supply has a short CPU cable, you may have to stretch it out along the shortest route, i.e. inside the chassis, rather than behind the mainboard's mounting plate.
The interior of the assembled DF-85 is neat and has a lot of free space. This system case is obviously designed for more advanced configurations than ours.
The fan highlighting is red and matches the overall exterior design perfectly. It can only be turned off by replacing the fans, but we guess most users are going to like it.
The second product to be discussed in this review comes from the renowned Corsair. We already know the huge Obsidian and now it's time to take a look at the new Graphite series.
The Corsair 600T is different from the DF-85 as well as from many other system cases because it is long, not very tall and very broad. It's kind of podgy. To be exact, the 600T is about 5 centimeters wider than ordinary models with their width of 210 millimeters. This is its main distinguishing feature, actually, because otherwise there is nothing extraordinary about its exterior design. It is a nice-looking box with rounded-off edges and a meshed front panel.
The side panels are blank and have no windows or vents. They are fastened with two handles rather than with screws.
The top panel is covered with a mesh, too. In its front part we can see all the controls and I/O connectors.
The connectors are placed around the large knob of a fan speed controller. To the left of it, and close to each other, there are as many as four USB 2.0 ports. One USB 3.0 and one FireWire are on the right. Two audio connectors are above. We guess an eSATA connector below the controller knob would make this an ideal picture.
The Power and Reset buttons are not so easy to find. They are placed near the mesh and have the color of the surrounding surface. The buttons have a short travel distance, which may be a problem. There is a high chance of an accidental press if something falls down on the system case.
You can take the mesh off by pressing down on its rear part. Below you can see a large compartment with yet another mesh and a lock of the left side panel. The second mesh allows to install two 120mm fans. It looks like an invitation to put the radiator of a liquid cooling system here, but it can hardly fit below the exterior mesh. The system case won't look so good without the latter. There is a 200mm fan installed here by default.
There is another such fan behind the removable mesh on the front panel. It is sunken into the chassis for some reason. As opposed to the top mesh, this one is fine and helps protect the fan against dust.
The back panel is ordinary enough. The Graphite 600T has a bottom PSU bay (the PSU can be oriented in either of two ways, as has become typical of top-end system cases). There are two rubberized openings for the pipes of a liquid cooling system next to the expansion slots. In the top part of the panel we can see a 120mm fan.
The bottom panel impresses with its unusually designed supports. The feet of this system cases stretch along its edges and seamlessly transition into the plastic panels of its exterior. The feet are large. Their vibration-absorbing pads are about twice as large as those of competitor products.
In between the rear feet there is a vent opening for a power supply with a horizontally positioned fan. The vent has a dust filter which can be easily removed by pulling it backwards. You won't have to turn the whole system case upside down for that.
Despite its rather thin steel, only 0.6 millimeters, we have no doubts about the rigidity of this chassis. The quality is expectedly high. Every edge is properly finished. The openings leading to the hidden compartment for cables have rubber covers.
The expansion-slot brackets are reusable and fastened with thumbscrews as is typical of top-end system cases. The eighth bracket differs from the others: it has a cutout for the USB cable to connect the front-panel USB 3.0 port to the mainboard's back-panel connector.
5.25-inch devices are fastened with a screw-less mechanism. The device is pressed against the bay on one side, and a plastic lock with a couple of prongs is used to fix it in place on the other side.
HDDs glide into their basket along flexible plastic guides. You put a guide on your HDD, aligning its prongs with the screw holes in the sides of the drive. The guide holds within the basket due to the force of friction and small protrusions. This may be not enough if you are going to carry the assembled system case somewhere in your car.
There are two HDD baskets here, and you can place them one above the other or next to each other using the guide in the bottom panel. This solution ensures that you can install any, even very long, expansion cards into this system case, even though there is as many as 35 centimeters from the back panel to the HDD bays anyway.
We guess a third HDD basket would be a demanded option for users who need a lot of disk space.
You can see the mentioned guide for the second HDD basket in the photo. Next to it, there is a mechanism fastened with two screws to the bottom panel of the case. This is a support for a power supply. You can move it along the chassis, choosing the necessary group of mounting holes. This mechanism supports PSUs with a length of 140 to 200 millimeters.
The bumps on that plate may get in the way if you've got a nonstandard power supply, but you can always take it off altogether.
The hidden compartment for cables is as wide as 4 centimeters in the Graphite T600. You might even hide a second computer based on some Atom processor in there! As an example: the bunch of cables shown in the photo did not prevent us from closing the side panel at all.
The increased width affects the main interior of the system case, too. The Graphite T600 will easily accommodate a CPU cooler that will press against the side panel in other system cases. The cooler can be not 170 as usual but 200 millimeters tall!
This red warning leaflet included with the system case shouldn't scare you. It just wants you to go directly to an authorized service center rather than to the shop you bought the system case in if you've got any problems with it.
It was easy to assemble our configuration in this roomy system case.
The highlighting of the fans is too dull.
We test assembled system cases at a constant ambient temperature of 23°C maintained by an air conditioner. As we assume that most users prefer low-noise computers, we set the speed of the CPU and system fans (those connected to the mainboard's 3-pin connectors) into Silent mode (the quietest mode in the mainboard's BIOS). If the system case has its own speed controller, we switch it to minimum speed, too. We do not change the default configuration of airflows determined by system case design.
The following components are installed into the system case:
The CPU temperature is read with the ASUS PC Probe utility included with the mainboard. The temperature of the HDDs is measured with HDD Thermometer. The graphics card's temperature is reported by its control panel. The speed of the fans is measured with an optical tachometer Velleman DTO2234. There are the following test modes:
Every temperature is read after the system has worked for half an hour in the current test mode.
The following table shows the temperatures of the components if the system is assembled without an enclosure ("open testbed").
The noise level is evaluated subjectively.
First we are going to discuss the results of each system case individually and check out the temperature of HDDs depending on their position. We will also discuss the noise factor.
HDDs are numbered from top to bottom.
In the Antec DF-85 we installed the top three HDDs next to each other. They were separated from the bottom HDD with one empty bay.
Antec Dark Fleet DF-85
The DF-85 ensures comfortable conditions for our components at the minimum speed of the fans. Well, we might have expected that from a system case with five 120mm and two 140mm fans!
The noise level is rather typical of Antec products in this category. The DF-85 is not silent, but should seem quiet enough for most users (except for the most demanding ones). The front fans produce more noise. To balance the airflows, the developers set the three intake fans at a higher speed than the four exhaust fans located at the top and back panels. For example, the back 120mm fans have a min speed of 900 RPM whereas the front ones, 1000 RPM. The 140mm fans have the lowest minimum speed, 800 RPM.
Antec dark Fleet DF-85, max.
Increasing the speed of all system fans makes the computer rather noisy. The speed grows up to 1500 RPM for the rear fans, 1200 RPM for the top fans, and as high as 2000 RPM for the front ones. The temperature only improves by one or two degrees at that. Running the fans at such speeds may only be necessary for very top-end configurations or if the ambient temperature is very high.
In the Corsair 600T the top HDD was placed separately from the others.
Corsair Graphite 600T
Like its opponent, the Corsair 600T is quiet but not silent. The speed of the fans is not low enough for them to produce no noise: 600 RPM for a 200mm fan is quite a lot, especially as both such fans installed in the 600T are pumping the air through meshes.
Corsair Graphite 600T, max.
The Corsair is better than its opponent at maximum speed. We mean in terms of noisiness rather than temperature. It is overall quieter and has a more agreeable spectrum of the noise. The 120mm back-panel fan was almost silent at 1050 RPM while the top 200mm fan was humming quietly at 750 RPM. The problem was with the front fan which was defective in our sample of the 600T and buzzed with its motor when rotating at maximum speed. That's annoying because it is going to be not so easy to find a replacement for the 200mm giant.
Now let's compare the two products with each other as well as with the open testbed.
The system cases go neck and neck throughout our tests. The Antec DF-85 is somewhat better as our components were one or two degrees cooler in it, but we wouldn't call that a big advantage. Overall, you will hardly need to set the speed of the fans above the minimum level with these system cases unless you've got a really top-end configuration.
We've said in the Introduction that system cases are conservative products and do not change frequently, but the products we have reviewed today do show some changes in design.
Those in the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 are somewhat questionable. This is not a bad system case. It features an original exterior and allows to build anything from a top-end gaming station to a large-capacity file-server. Still, we had expected something better from it. Its inexpensive hot-swap feature is implemented poorly and the top 2.5-inch bay is not practical. Its cooling system is rather too noisy. So, the DF-85 might be an excellent system case, but it is only just good. Perhaps its low price is going to make up for the minor imperfections, especially as it is free from really serious defects.
The Corsair Graphite 600T leaves a highly positive impression. It is a pleasure to assemble a computer in such a roomy system case. It doesn't offer anything new functionally, except for its increased width, but represents a good and time-tested design. You only have to take two things into account. The Graphite 600T is really wide and may not fit into some computer desks. And secondly, the cooling system of the 600T includes 200mm fans. Replacing such fans may be a problem.
Now, what about USB 3.0? This interface is too new and its implementation in system cases is rather awkward as yet. It is going to become far more popular in a couple of years and we will get rid of those cables going from the front to the back panel. But today, you have to put up with such provisional solutions if you really need USB 3.0 in your system case.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -- Sunday morning on the backside, and Bodemeister was standing in the same stall we found him in Saturday at the same time -- but now he's the Arkansas Derby winner, which elevates him greatly in our estimation. The dark bay colt with the sideways blaze was bright-eyed and cold-legged and curiously greeted a few straggling well-wishers. For the moment, as far as media attention was concerned, he might as well be just another horse in just another barn on just another backside on a quiet morning. To go from maiden winner to champ of a key Grade 1 prep for the Kentucky Derby changes things, sure, but it takes a while for horses to notice that. They may be born with greatness in their veins, but picture posing and the strut of a champion and the buzz of celebrity takes a little time to build. Bodemeister is off to a great start in that direction after his impressive 9 ½-length victory for Zayat Stables on Saturday, and once the Bob Baffert trainee rolls off the plane in Louisville Monday, the hype will begin. It starts slowly, week before the week before the first Saturday in May, as photographers ship into town and video crews begin filming. By April 27, the Friday before the Oaks, out-of-town reporters will be arriving on the grounds and anticipation will be mounting and the spotlight will shine on the ones we expect to run well, horses whose prior performances indicate they're something special. This one made the grade. Welcome to the big leagues, kid. Earlier this week at Oaklawn, a television crew set up near the barn in which Baffert's runners were stabled. With right-hand man Jimmy Barnes leading up the invasion (the boss stayed at home), eventual Apple Blossom Handicap winner Plum Pretty was headed to the track. A nearby horseman complained about the camera lights, but the 2011 Kentucky Oaks victress didn't seem bothered by the attention -- in fact, she rather relished it, striding up to the oval past cameras with the poise of a supermodel. "Don't worry," Barnes told members of the media. "Our horses are TV-camera-broken." For Bodemeister, who had been known to get a little wound up heading over to the starting gate before a race, a decision by Baffert to remove his blinkers and give the big colt a chance to settle seems to have done wonders in the afternoons. Although the way he'll handle the crowds and drama of the big day in Louisville remains to be seen, all but the highest-strung runners are able to adapt and handle the backside buzz leading up to Derby. Because the excitement builds gradually, the horses have time to acclimate, to adjust to their new roles. In spite of all the unknowns around Derby time, one thing's for sure. If Bodemeister runs anything like he ran here when he breaks in that field of 20 runners at Churchill, the other horses will have some tough competition to beat. Lightly-raced -- the Arkansas Derby was only his fourth start -- the big bay could be peaking at just the right time. "This is a special horse," Baffert told members of the media Saturday. In three weeks, we'll find out just how special he really is.

Soulstice cast hits the right notes with Sondheim's 'Follies'
Just after intermission in the production of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" now being staged by Soulstice Theatre, Heidi Schiller — oldest among the pre-World War II showgirls attending a one-time reunion — begins to warble an operetta-like tune from her heyday.
Playing the older Heidi, Amanda Hull sings that we must never look back. But of course Heidi looks, remembering the ravishing young performer she'd once been, when she could hit every note in songs like this one. Which the suddenly materialized younger Heidi (a lovely Julianne Frey) then easily does, singing of the bittersweet passage of time — something a young Heidi can't possibly feel as acutely as her older self does. »Read Full Article

Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise). Knowing how to take your pulse can help you evaluate your exercise program.
Count your pulse: _____ beats in 10 seconds x 6 = _____ beats/minute
Normal Heart Rates at Rest:
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate achieved during maximal exercise. One simple method to calculate your predicted maximum heart rate, uses this formula:
220 - your age = predicted maximum heart rate
Example: a 40-year-old's predicted maximum heart rate is 180 beats/minute.
There are other formulas that take into account the variations in maximal heart rate with age and gender. If you are interested in learning more about these more accurate but slightly more complicated formulas please see these resources:
Please note that some medications and medical conditions may affect your heart rate. If you are taking medications or have a medical condition (such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes), always ask your doctor if your maximum heart rate/target heart rate will be affected. If so, your heart rate ranges for exercise should be prescribed by your doctor or an exercise specialist.
Your actual maximum heart rate is most accurately determined by a medically supervised maximal graded exercise test.
Your Actual Values (Actual values are determined from a graded exercise test)
* This chart is based on the the formula: 220 - your age = predicted maximum heart rate

I spent a big chunk of today getting myself set up to test taming 'pet' creatures on the PTR. I reactivated my husband's account, installed the PTR on his laptop, copied a pre-made level 70 mage (that I have no idea how to play), read for an hour while both this character and my copied main waited in the PTR queue, ducked the hundreds of requests for teleports that came in as soon as I got on, and headed out across the world to try taming some of the controlled beasts that people have mentioned.
I had absolutely no luck.
I tried sheeping (and turtling and pigging) alone, with various traps, with Scare Beast and anything else I could think, in a group, not in a group, with one hand tied behind my back, with my fingers crossed …
My eventual conclusion: Coilfang Rays are special.
More to the point, so far as I could tell my trolling the data mining sites like Thotbott and WoWHead:
- Most of the NPC pet beasts, like Savannah Cubs and Scarlet Hounds, are created via a summoning spell apparently cast by their controllers. But Coilfang Rays do not appear to be created via a spell.
- Coilfang Rays can drop loot. Not very much has been recorded on these sites so far, but they do drop loot. The other NPC pet beasts leave corpses that cannot be looted. (Note that the sites sometimes show loot for these creatures anyway, but I verified that most of them just don't have lootable corpses.)
- If I am understanding correctly, the Coilfang Ray has the purpose tag <Observer's Pet>, in the same sense it might say <Hunter Trainer> or <Coilfang Matron>. In other words, it's almost part of their name. Other NPC pet beasts, on the other hand, have "So and so's pet" in their mouseover info in the same way that they have "Level 62 Beast".
So at this point, I am thinking that NPC-summoned beasts can't be tamed — no matter what Beast Lore says — and that the Coilfang Ray is not an NPC-summoned beast in the same way that the others are.
… Which is a pity, because I really wanted to tame a Scarlet Hound.

College & Community Relations
Free tax service available at Aims Community College in Greeley and Fort LuptonSubmitted on: 01-03-2013
Taxpayers who earn less than $49,000 can get help preparing and e-filing their taxes for free at Aims Community College through Tax Help Colorado, a program funded by a grant from the Denver-based Piton Foundation, operating at 16 colleges statewide.
Aims has helped more than 2,000 Weld County tax payers claim more than $3 million in federal and state refunds in the past four years through the program. Students from Aims and the University of Northern Colorado, as well as community volunteers, will be helping with tax preparation this year.
"Tax Help Colorado has been a tremendous success and is an extremely rewarding experience," said Aims Accounting Professor Gina Jones. "Our volunteer tax preparers and quality reviewers are well-trained individuals who are dedicated to superior customer service and producing a quality product. This is also a tremendous benefit to our local businesses as the refund dollars are spent in our communities. I am looking forward to another successful year."
Interested parties should bring the following documents:
- All W-2, 1099 and other income-related documents
- Proof of mortgage interest, property taxes, daycare payments, college education expenses, charitable contributions and all other tax-deductible expenses
- Social Security cards for all family members
- A copy of last year's tax return, if available
- Bank account number and routing number to direct deposit refunds (direct deposit refunds will be received in 7 to 10 days)
Tax Help Colorado will be operating at Aims Community College on the following dates:
- Greeley campus (Westview 114): Fridays, Feb. 1 through April 12 (except for March 8 and 15), 1 to 7 p.m. and Wednesdays, Feb. 6 through Feb. 27, 4 to 7 p.m.
- Fort Lupton campus (room 111): Saturdays, Feb. 9, Feb. 16 and Feb. 23, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Show you what. I don' see anything. Are you talking about how you want someone to show you "Step-by-Step" the sitcom? I hated that show.
Nevermind, I can see it now.
j) Let me do j for you step by step.
Notice that our is the same as the numerator of our given except of the numerical coefficient . Do you see it?
Now, we can put the by doing this.
Is this equal to the original given? Of course yes. So we can continue.
There is a formula in integral calculus that states that the .
Hence in our problem..
Plugging in .
You can check by getting the derivative of our final answer. If it results to the given, then we're pretty much correct.
I hope this helps.
For h, let me ask first, is it a Definite Integral? With limits 2 and 3? Do you know how to evaluate Definite Integrals?
The problem is quite easy and you can try it by yourself.
Try to continue this, just feel free to ask if you have some questions.
Hint: Start with this:
Hey darth! If I were you, I would change my signature. You should write the work function so that it doesn't make you look like you don't know that the limit of a constant is that constant.
I'm just joking with you. Sometimes people can't pick up on humor through text.
The limit as x tends to infinity of work is, guess what?

Dublin Voters Say No To Drive-Thru
By Todd Bookman • Mar 12, 2014
Hungry motorists in the Town of Dublin will need to get out of their vehicles for provisions. Residents rejected a proposed ballot measure on Tuesday that would have permitted commercial drive-thrus in certain zoned districts, on a vote of 339-222.
The town's lone gas station at the intersection of Routes 101 and 137 is seeking to renovate its convenience store, and add a drive-thru window.
Opponents of the plan argued drive-thrus would change the character of the small town, and open the door to more commercial development.

Personal Loans
Cash For Any Reason.
Personal loans are one of the most common loan types. Typically they are for between $2,000 and $35,000. Although the lower amounts are not as common as in past years due to the wide spread use of credit cards. There are still many times you don't want to use a credit card to pay for a purchase.
No Banks.
Historically you would go into your local bank and do what was called a signature loan if you needed to borrow less than $5,000. Today, the bank will hand you a credit card application and tell you that is how you get a personal loan. Aside from the fact that it is more profitable for the bank. It also is worse for your credit, being an open revolving credit line it will lower your credit score in most cases. And lets face it, in the current economy we all like having a fixed payment and term. Avoiding the credit card trap is easy when you apply for a unsecured personal loan through a service like Prosper or PersonalLoans.com.
Fixed Rate and Term.
Every personal loan through Prosper is a fixed rate, fixed term unsecured loan. There are no pre-payment penalties, so you can take out a short term loan or use the full term to repay. This is flexibility and safety that you can't get with a credit card.

So long; Natural.
It could cause me someday to no longer be a fan. The attachments to certain players; in my favorite team's uniform. Then all of the sudden it is never again. When I got the email tonight that read in the subject line 'Reds acquire pitching from Rangers', and I opened it to see that Josh Hamilton had been dealt for two unproven minor league pitchers; I had to read it twice. Three times. Back over it again. I'm hoping then anything can take it back. But it can't. Josh Hamilton is gone. Gone as I know it; other than a passing glance in the box score or on the highlight reel. No longer can I go to the park and hope to talk to Josh; the most personable player I've ever seen (save Sean Casey) in my time as a fan.
What happened tonight makes me sick. It makes me want to have a few good minutes with Wayne Krivsky. I don't respect the man; and I don't believe in him at the helm of my favorite baseball team. Here you have a young player who hits .300 and shows good power to all fields while being an exceptional talent in his rookie season. He was the finest story in all of baseball last year; maybe in the last several decades. However, Krivsky couldn't wait to serve up Hamilton for the first couple of prospects he could. Hamilton was dangled and offered in every deal that there was opportunity for. I knew, the time was nearing; because where there is smoke there is fire in this game. It would not go away; the name would not go away. Hamilton's name was continually rumored to be shipped one-way out of town. This would be following the departure of the two men who were instrumental in getting him back in baseball; Johnny and Jerry Narron.
The guy could do it all. Power to the opposite field like I've never seen. An arm like a greek god; speed in the outfield and on the basepaths. It pains me to know this will never be realized while wearing the wishbone "C".
You watch; these two young Texas arms the Reds acquired will be kicking around the major leagues in a few years; struggling to stick somewhere. They'll be journeyman at best. Not that I know the destiny for Josh Hamilton; but it would have been nice to see him chase it in the Queen city; where for one season he was all the buzz and the biggest story each night from the spring training games into the warm summer nights.
No matter what happens; I'll never forget having the privlidge to watch Hamilton play in my major league city for a summer. In some small way; he allowed me to be a part of it. For that, I'll always pull for Josh.

The value of a CPA
Many ECPs think they are saving expenses by not working with an accountant, but the way I see it, they are holding their practice back from the important benefits of a necessary business advisor.� An office manager or other trusted employee can certainly perform many routine bookkeeping tasks on a daily basis, but a CPA offers a much higher level of service.� I find the professional fees charged by accounting firms to be quite reasonable for the services provided.
Smart CPA firms will work with you to set up QuickBooks or other software programs and work with the reports it provides.� The accounting firm will also work with the production reports from your practice management software.� The CPA should charge different fee rates for different categories of work; some services like payroll checks and checkbook reconciliation are surprisingly affordable.
Consider these CPA services
How to find a good CPA
If you don't have a good relationship with a CPA, the best way to find one is by referral from someone you trust.� Ask an optometric colleague, other business associates, a banker or an attorney.� Most CPAs will be happy to schedule a courtesy meeting to see if you hit it off well and to discuss accounting fees.� Find someone you like working with and let him or her help you build your practice.

We are nearly a third of the way through the season, and a whole lot has happened. It seems like two seasons have already completed in Beantown with very separate results.
In April and the beginning of May, the Red Sox struggled to hit, pitch or do much of anything. New acquisitions Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford bore the brunt of the criticism from the Boston media, and it appeared that the season would spiral out of control after a 2-10 start.
Since then, the Sox have gone 28-13 and have finally begun to validate everyone's preseason predictions. Currently, the Sox sit in first place in the AL East, and things seem a lot brighter. The pitching has come around, the offense is scorching hot and the rest of the American League has a lot to worry about.
With a majority of the season ahead of us, a lot of things can still change. The trade deadline is not until July 31st, but teams are surely scouting everywhere possible to find the player or two to put them over the top. As of now, the Red Sox have few holes, and are likely to be quiet for the most part. However, they could use a piece or two to stay ahead of the hated New York Yankees.
Here are nine players who could don Red Sox uniforms by the end of July.

Introduction: Many studies suggest that cardiorespiratory fitness, measured as peak oxygen uptake (V˙O2peak), may be the single best predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and premature cardiovascular mortality. However, current reference values are either estimates of oxygen uptake or come from small studies, mainly of men. Therefore, the aims of this study were to directly measure V˙O2peak in healthy adult men and women and to assess the association with cardiovascular risk factor levels.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 4631 volunteering, free-living Norwegian men (n = 2368) and women (n = 2263) age 20-90 yr. The data collection was from June 2007 to June 2008. Participants were free from known pulmonary or cardiovascular disease. V˙O2peak was measured by ergospirometry during treadmill running. Associations (odds ratios, OR) with unfavorable levels of cardiovascular risk factors and a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors were assessed by logistic regression analysis.
Results: Overall, mean V˙O2peak was 40.0 ± 9.5 mL·kg−1·min−1. Women below the median V˙O2peak (<35.1 mL·kg−1·min−1) were five times (OR = 5.4, 95% confidence interval = 2.3-12.9) and men below the median (<44.2 mL·kg−1·min−1) were eight times (OR = 7.9, 95% confidence interval = 3.5-18.0) more likely to have a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors compared to those in the highest quartile of V˙O2peak (≥40.8 and ≥50.5 mL·kg−1·min−1 in women and men, respectively). Each 5-mL·kg−1·min−1 lower V˙O2peak corresponded to ∼56% higher odds of cardiovascular risk factor clustering.
Conclusions: These data represent the largest reference material of objectively measured V˙O2peak in healthy men and women age 20-90 yr. Even in people considered to be fit, V˙O2peak was clearly associated with levels of conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

The City spent the last several years working with the community to develop a plan to replace Hillview Community Center and Park. At nearly 70 years old, the Community Center does not meet the functional needs of recreational programming and has reached the end of its useful life.
Acknowledging that a prior plan developed in 2009 was not in line with the community's expectations, the City re-engaged with residents and developed an updated plan which included three project components:
- Replacing the existing recreation facilities at Hillview Community Center with a new, multi-use facility for recreational, social and educational programs and services
- Building community pool facilities
- Improving Hillview Park, open space, and sports fields
The project was estimated to cost $87 million. Of this, the City proposed to contribute up to $25 million of existing funds to the project. Additionally, the City Council placed a measure on the November 2015 ballot asking Los Altos voters to approve a $65 million general obligation bond. The bond measure did not achieve the necessary 2/3 majority voter approval and thus was unsuccessful.
The City Council is expected to determine next steps for the project in 2016.

You need relative distance, not actual distance. The actual length has nothing to do with it, except perhaps it would change the bridge's newtons.
A hiker who weights 985 N is strolling thru the woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weights 3610N and rests on two concrete supports, one at each end. He stops 1/5th of the way along the bridge. What is the magnitude of the force that a concrete support exerts on the bridge First at the near end and at the for end???
How do I do this with no length of the bridge.
I am lost on this one.
Can someone help please.
I know he goes 1/5th, but how does that give me a distance??
= upward support force on the far end of the bridge
forces up = forces down
let the near end be the pivot point ...
torque clockwise = torque counter-clockwise
note that each term has L = bridge length as a factor ... like I said previously, they will all cancel.
all set up ... solve the system.
I am still in the fog. I do appreciate the help. I am really lost on this one.
Thanks for helping, I will write down what you gave.
I kinda understand, but I don't. One of those things, tonight nothing has been clicking like it should, but this one was a good one.

A patient navigator who speaks the patient's language and has time to spend answering questions and removing barriers makes a difference in whether that patient will get colorectal screening.
A study in Boston randomly assigned community patient navigators to half of a diverse group of low-income patients who were behind in colorectal cancer screening. Compared to patients who received usual health care, patients who got help from a patient navigator were more likely to complete screening, have a colonoscopy, and have polyps detected and removed.
After getting an introductory letter from their primary care doctor, patients in four community health centers and two public hospital clinics got a call from a patient navigator who spoke their language. The navigator helped them decide how they wanted to be screened — with fecal occult blood testing or colonoscopy.
Patients spoke English, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, or Spanish as their primary language.
For the 465 patients in the study, patients assigned navigators were more likely to:
- Be screened for colorectal cancer within one year (33.6 % vs 20%).
- Be screened using colonoscopy (26.4% vs 13%).
- Have adenomas (polyps) detected (8.1% vs 3.9%).
Use of a patient navigator was particularly helpful for blacks and those who didn't speak English as a their primary language:
- 39.7 % of blacks in the navigator group were screened compared to 18.6 % in the usual care group.
- 39.8 % of non-English speakers helped by navigators got screened compared to 16.7 % who didn't have a navigator.
The patient navigators were lay people in the community who guided patients through the medical and screening system, answering questions, helping them to get insurance, and arranging transportation and childcare. They were able to reach 7 out of 100 patients assigned to the program and contacted each individual a median of 8.5 times, spending an average of 107 minutes with each patient.
In a commentary, Thomas Bodenheimer, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, observed that the intervention worked because physicians had help from a team. He said,
In this era of primary-care-physician shortage and excessive panel sizes [numbers of patients per physician], quality improvement requires reducing panel size or delegating responsibilities from the physician to a healthcare team.
Writing in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Karen E. Lasser, MD, MPH and her colleagues concluded,
Patient navigation increased completion of CRC screening among ethnically diverse patients. Targeting patient navigation to black and non–English-speaking patients may be a useful approach to reducing disparities in CRC screening.

AC Milan had one of their worst seasons in decades, and yet they still sent seven players to the 2014 World Cup.
Milan players don't usually make up a large percentage of the Italian national team, but they have three potential starters in the lineup, leading with Mario Balotelli.
The former Manchester City man scored the winner against England, and after the game, he flashed the 2-1 score on camera with his hands.
"We are strong and everyone should fear us," Balotelli told FIGC.it (h/t Sky Sports).
Nations also represented are the Netherlands, Japan and Ghana. Over the next couple of weeks, we will assess the performance of these Milan players. Return to this page for updates.

Get Owingsville, KY Digital TV Service for Less
Since June 13, 2009, 100 percent of the country's television stations have broadcast in digital, which is advanced broadcasting technology. The government pressed for the switch to digital over analog because of all the benefits such as more readily available broadcast spectrum, enhanced picture and sound quality, a number of programming choices and interactive features.
Top Digital Television Features for Owingsville, KY Residents
One of the newest options digital TV are the various programming choices or multicasting that's available. When using the old analog broadcasts, stations could just offer one program per station. However, with digital, a station can deliver many programs. For example Channel 8 can broadcast one program on 8-1, another program on 8-2, and yet another program on 8-3, etc. This means more programming is offered to fit viewers' needs.

Investigators at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) seek patients with phantom pain due to upper limb amputation to participate in a study. Phantom pain refers to the sensation of pain felt by patients who have had a limb amputated. The treatment of phantom pain is often disappointing and is unable to provide adequate relief to patients. The area of the brain involved is called the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and is found on the opposite side of the amputated limb.
This study will use low frequency (1 Hz) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to decrease the excitability of the PPC on the opposite side of the amputated limb. Researchers believe that if they can decrease activity in the PPC they may be able to reduce phantom pain.
Eligible patients must be between 18 and 65 years of age, and have had amputation and phantom pain for at least 12 months (pain should be moderate and present at least 8 hours per day, or severe, lasting at least 2 hours per day).
Patients with previous stroke or brain lesions, severe depression, poor motivational capacity, serious cognitive deficits, severe uncontrolled medical problems, a history of seizures or other neurological disorders, severe coronary disease, metal in the cranium except mouth, intracardiac lines, increased intracranial pressure as evaluated by clinical means, and cardiac pacemakers, and those on neuroleptic medications or pregnant, are not eligible to participate.
The study will take place at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. All study-related expenses will be paid by the NIH.
For more information, physicians should send a referral letter and a copy of the patient's hospital medical records to Shashi Ravindran, R.N., M.P.H., Clinical Research Coordinator, Human Cortical Physiology Section, NINDS, NIH, Building 10, Room 5C40, 10 Center Drive MSC 1430, Bethesda, MD 20892-1430; telephone: 301-402-1916; fax: 301-480-2286.

Workers need more sleep, survey says
If you have some time off from work for the holidays this week, you may want to make room in your schedule for a long winter's nap.
That's because, according to a recent survey of more than 1,000 office workers conducted by Philips Consumer Lifestyle and the National Sleep Foundation, more than half (56 percent) of participants reported not getting enough sleep on a regular basis.
Among other issues cited:
- Eighty-five percent of respondents reported that a lack of sleep caused decreased productivity at work
- Sixty-four percent said that a poor night's sleep caused their day to start off on a low note
- Nearly a third of workers said they'd been late to work because they'd overslept
In addition to problems at work, a variety of sources have found that chronic lack of sleep has been linked to hypertension, diabetes and obesity.
While a number of factors may contribute to lack of sleep, having a stressful job is a known trigger for insomnia. According to the NSF website, "Stress causes hyperarousal, which can upset the balance between sleep and wakefulness."
Since more than three-in-four Americans reported being under an unhealthy amount of stress this year, and more than one-in-four reported that they'd lain awake at night in the past month, according to a recent study by the American Psychological Association, even adults who normally have healthy sleeping patterns are susceptible to disruptions if they're stressed out at work.
Feeling like you may need more than a nap to catch up on your sleep deprivation? Try these tips to prevent stress from getting in the way of your nightly shut-eye:
1. Wind down: According to the NSF, it's best to stop fielding work-related phone calls and e-mails at least two hours before bedtime. While watching television is acceptable, reading or listening to music is even better.
2. Stay organized: If you lay in bed all night thinking about what you have to do in the morning, make a to-do list at the end of each day, outlining the next day's top priorities. Getting the information out of your head and down on paper where you can see it will make the tasks seem more manageable. Organizing your schedule into a calendar will also help, since you won't have to worry about forgetting meetings, birthdays and appointments.
3. Exercise: According to the Mayo Clinic, working out during the day can provide twofold benefits around bedtime. First, the added activity may make you more tired, and thus help you fall asleep faster, plus exercise promotes relaxation and reduced stress levels. Just be sure to exercise in the morning or early evening, since you'll have an increased energy level for a few hours post-workout – which is great during the day, but not right before bed.
4. Watch what you eat (and drink): Clearly, downing a cup coffee or tea (that's not decaf) before bed is not a good idea if you're having trouble sleeping, but caffeine can appear in unexpected places, preventing you from falling asleep. Consider this: A serving of Hershey's dark chocolate contains 31 mg of caffeine, almost as much as a cup of tea (about 50 mg) or a 1 oz. shot of espresso (about 40 mg). Additionally, limiting liquid intake at night will prevent midnight bathroom trips.
5. See a doctor: Insomnia can spurn a vicious cycle. You can't fall asleep, so you're tired at work, which means you can't get as much done, so you get behind, which causes stress, etc. If you think your insomnia is getting out of control, or if it persists for more than a few days, the NSF recommends seeing a professional.

This might be a cool idea: get Citroen to withdraw their entire introduction campaign (including an over expensive commercial, outdoor posters, ads, etcetera) for the new Citroen C3 Pluriel in the whole of Europe. How? Read this.
In all of their communication Citroen is eager to tell you how versatile their new C3 Pluriel is. You can use it as a normal car, as a cabriolet, as a spider, and so on. But they also say you can use it as a pick up. And that is not entirely true! To convert the car to a pick up, you have to put the boot down. But then you cannot see the license plate. It is illegal to drive that way! Hence they are selling you a car that cannot drive on the public road. They make promises they cannot live up to.
So make the complaint to your local advertising regulation company and get them to withdraw their very expensive commercial. It is completely and utterly crap anyway, the human race is better of without this sorry excuse for advertising on the tv.
That is hilarious! They spent X million on promoting an illegal feature - will the strategy/planners get fired for this?
This made my day, I'll keep a lookout for these ads in my country.
The manual of the car mentions the pick-up mode to be used only on private terain.
(Would ads for guns be banned if people would find out that you could perform a series of illegal actions with it?)
No only if the ad for said gun was headlined "SHOOT THE PRESIDENT with our new and improved colt" which is a federal threat and an illegal action (to kill people is yaknow).
Ads can not use as a selling point, something that can not legally be done. It's false advertisisng.
Its a bit late to mention it in the manual, when the TV ads are the ones using it as a selling point.
I never did see these ads. Perhaps they were pulled?

Main Forums > Someone I Care About Has HIV
Looking for TB and Cat related advice for HIV+ partner
(1/3) > >>
Hi there,A new posting from me.Just got results from my boyfriend's tests:13th August CD4 551 VL 880354th November CD4 404 VL 21737He came back from the clinic this morning with the results and they are as above.He does not have TB and was vaccinated with a BCG when he was a child against TB, however the doctors have suggested that as there are relatively high rates of TB in this country that he should start a year long preventative course against TB.The pills they want him to take are called Isoniazid, and they appear to be relatively safe, although Wikipedia does say that there can be side effects.To the best of my knowledge they didn't do a test to see if he has imminuty against TB from his childhood BCG, so I am interested to hear whether anyone knows anything about this.Also I understand that they do not provide any HIV medication here until the Tcells drop below 250, which I understand is also the case in the UK, but in the USA it is 500.Wouldn't mind hearing from people about the advantages of getting on HIV Medication now rather than waiting for the T-cells to drop below 250, although I am not even sure whether that would be possible as I understand that the government regulates HIV medication here and there are no private treatment facilities.This is a fairly new diagnosis from the beginning of this year. The first HIV test was positive, the Western Blot was negative, the second HIV test was positive and the second confirmatory test wasn't a Western Blot but was positive.Finally the doctors suggested that us having a cat was not a good idea, which sounds kind of extreme to me so I was interested in peoples thoughts on cat ownership as well!Anyway any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks.
Hi Magnoman, I cannot comment on the TB, but I am a cat owner and have been around cats for my entire infection with no problems. There are many cat owners on here and they will tell you the same.I think the problem is with the litter box , you just have to be careful when handling it (but even neggies should handle carefully, right?), you dont have to go to extremes. I use surgical gloves when cleaning the box and also avoid inhaling the dust, but that's probably not even necessary. Just clean up real well with warm water and soap afterwards.Enjoy Mr. Kitty :)-WIll
--- Quote from: WillyWump on November 28, 2012, 05:32:32 PM ---Hi Magnoman, Just clean up real well with warm water and soap afterwards.Enjoy Mr. Kitty :)-WIll--- End quote ---That's what I do too. Also, on those rare occasions when I get a little scratch from playing with my cat, I clean the cut with plenty of hydrogen peroxide and apply Bacitracin first aid antibiotic ointment afterwards.
--- Quote from: magnoman on November 28, 2012, 02:54:51 PM ---Finally the doctors suggested that us having a cat was not a good idea, which sounds kind of extreme to me so I was interested in peoples thoughts on cat ownership as well!--- End quote ---Toxoplasmosis is an opportunistic infection that can occur when one has a severely comprised immune system - like having an AIDS diagnosis. It can be transmitted from cats feces to humans if precautions are not taken (gloves, washing hands, not breathing in used cat litter dust)Is your doctor a reputable HIV doctor? this seems like a very big over-reaction by your doctor since your BF is no where near an AIDS diagnosis right now.while I have only 3 dogs now, I had a cat who lived to be 19. She lived with me through some of the worse years of my life (92-02) when I had AIDS, was in and out of the hospital, and sick with a lot of things - but never toxo. The simple precautions like others have stated (though I never used gloves or masks) should totally protect you.As a bonus to protecting your BF from toxo, washing hands frequently will also protect from a lot of other illnesses. ;)
Hi MagI volunteer at an animal shelter, at the moment we have 35 cats and kittens. About 7 weeks ago I had a few problems going on and my CD4's dropped to 180, the advise my ID Doc gave me regarding the cats was be careful, she never once told me to give up caring for the cats.The guys have given you some good advise, listen to them and take care, I have two dogs and a cat at home and have never had any problems.ArohaJan

Do you have the tea party supplies that are needed to host a proper teatime?
While bone china teacups and a silver teaset are not necessary, there are certain accouterments that not only help teatime go smoothly, they also exude the essence of serving tea.
The Tea Party Bee has been busy gathering this checklist to make sure you have the essential formal teatime accessories for your parties. Check it out and don't wait until the last minute to get what you need.
Teakettles - kettles are a "behind the scenes" essential for boiling the water. (Don't you dare microwave it!)
Teapots or Tea Service - Service consists of a teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl. Sometimes a second teapot or pitcher is used for hot water (those who prefer their brew week). Teasets can also include teacups.
TeaCups and Spoons - Don't forget the saucers. No mugs at teatime please!
Dessert Dishes - Serving Dishes - a 3 tier server is a classic for teatime.
Serving Tongs - good to have for proper party etiquette (and they're pretty too!).
Cloth Napkins - use the smaller beverage napkins if you can. If not, regular
dinner napkins can be folded in many different fun ways (spread the larger
ones on your lap).
T. Party Bee Tip: Acquire pretty and useful teatime service supplies and accessories as you come across them, instead of waiting for a planned event. Don't forget the Decorations and Invitations for your teatime parties!

General Settings: Wireless
The Wireless subgroup, with settings of the wireless connection, contains as many as five pages, first of which is called Basic Settings. Here, you can specify the operation mode of the WLAN module. It can be an access point, a WDS link, or Bridge mode. For the access point mode such parameters as SSID, active channel number and wireless connection standard can be specified.
The Advanced Settings page offers a lot of options that should not be tinkered with unless really necessary. These are mostly low-level settings such as beacon interval, fragmentation threshold, transmitter's power, connection channel bandwidth, etc.
The Security Settings page offers security options for the wireless connection. The router supports all the three basic technologies: WEP, WPA (2) PSK, and RADIUS. For WPA, the traffic can be encrypted using the TKIP or the AES algorithm, which was selected officially for 802.11n.
On the Access Control page you can allow access to the router to wireless devices with specific MAC-addresses which are entered right here.
The WPS page allows to easily set up a wireless connection of a "router-client" type without entering additional settings on the client device. This is done by pressing a special button on both devices or using a special PIN-code. As a matter of fact, none of the wireless adapters we received from Edimax has such a button.
