so I bought dunlop gecko-tac overgrip yesterday and it has a PU outer layer. what is the purpose of this outer layer? I felt the small sample square took the PU layer off, I liked it better that way. the PU layer just seems like plastic and make the grip kind of slippery here's a pic of description and grip
Like a plastic wrapper that is clear? If so, I've always taken it off and I'm pretty sure that you should.
I am pretty sure that what you are talking about is just designed to protect the grip, and keep it brand new until you put it on your racquet. It is designed solely to protect the grip, and it is expected that you take it off before putting the grip on your racquet.
PU is very tacky and is also very hydrophilic, meaning that it sucks water into itself. This is a fairly unique combination of attributes and is the reason why polyurethane is the primary component of all synthetic overgrips and replacement grips. Underneath the pu layer is cotton or some other absorbant layer that acts like water storage. So the pu wicks your sweat into the cotton layer where it is stored. If you sweat too much snd the cotton becomes saturated, then the pu layer will become slimey and slippery. Geckotac seems to get slimey faster than others. I don't know why.
That little square on the outer packaging is a cutting from an overgrip, so it still has the plastic film on it. You would need to peel it off to feel the actual overgrip.

As I gaze into the mirror after a cup of tea confusion reigns supreme a man half my age is staring right back at me he looks familiar - a real handsome fellow I have seen him before - but forget his name That woman who calls me darling - I forget her name why has she not made my cup of tea! Makes me mad!! Told me it is summer - Can't wear 7 jumpers What is wrong with that?? Told me I left the house key in the fridge think she is confused, so blames me Crazy woman told me I got lost last week can't go out alone, so now I depend on her Where is that thing that I put my money in that man on the phone wanted money I should call him Oh damn! How do you use this thing??? Where is my cup of tea? Damn woman! Why are tears rolling down my face? My emotions so erratic - all over the place Where is that thing to wipe my eyes? What happened to that thing to do my hair? Where is my wife I need her - I feel disorganized Bewildered - who were those people at the dinner table? Perplexed and suspicious of those around me Baffled by what is going on with me A shadow of the man I used to be What is happening to me? Help me someone please help me I have fallen into a dark abyss Where is that woman with my cup of tea!!! 18 November 2015 Mirror of Memories 'Alzheimer's' - Poetry Contest by Tammy Reams Alzheimer's Progressive mental deterioration that can occur in middle or old age, due to generalized degeneration of the brain.

Over recent months I've had trouble with my hearing… Misinterpreting what is being said isn't so endearing Take a step back and think of all the things you would miss if you couldn't hear at all The list is endless but here are a few I came up with The cry of a newborn baby and your child's first words The symphony of the dawn chorus Music and speech on the radio or TV Phone conversations or chatting with friends Going to the theatre or to a concert The door bell or alarm clock ringing And of course there are those three little words we love to hear … 'IS DINNER READY ?' OOPS I MEAN I LOVE YOU I took the plunge and saw a specialist and have been fitted with a hearing aid Wow what a difference it has made I can hear perfectly now From the squeak of a mouse to the moo of a cow And the best bit of all… If someone is mouthy and starts to scoff I can quickly turn my hearing aid off!!! 10~06~16 N B I have to approach what has been and what is going on in my life with humour it is just the way I cope with what life throws my way

It crouches above the ripe strawberry of her left nipple - a swelling blot on the flawless skinscape of her breast; a mortality reminder, a dead bell echoing in her ear, eclipsing future hope and all she holds dear. Mornings, in the bathroom, she absently fingers it and feels the ice-curl of chill around her heart as subterranean steam February-frosts the mirror with a hazy gleam. Nightly she lies thigh-to-thigh with him. He tastes the vanilla butter scent of her skin. She tastes horror's metallic tang, crushing close to him, sweaty with anxiety and morbid with imaginings; slipping through the cradle of his arms, that fault-line crack, as the earth and her world quietly shatter apart. And she knows words are helpless to hold back the fear-frosted air. The horror is strung between them, taut as a tightrope across which creep all her figures of fear - the dream demons who whisper constantly in her ear. And all she wants is normality's reassuring touch - a benign, safe hand upon her arm. She tries to hide within the details of daily living and takes small comfort where she can: mundane morning rituals, clatter of diurnal routine; dishes dunked in foam-bubble water, telephones ringing, voices asking. Snowdrifts of hospital appointments pile up on a table. And she feels isolate and separate as a snowflake; a temporal frailty melting on the heat-pulse of humanity. She no longer feels human. Cells mushroom and proliferate within her body's twisting maze; sickness spreading through labyrinthine arteries, darkness shadowing veins' corridors, gathering in nodes. A hidden malignity glitters in the web of infinity; her skin shimmers ice-iridescent with radiation. Cold mornings close in. She prepares antioxidant-rich fruit in a bowl, slicing strawberries with surgical precision.

I gave you a balloon, It held my life inside. Within a shiny rubber tube components of my soul aligned, a sign, I became something new for you... Memories Feelings Ideas Each speck a tickle upon my breath, a tiny bubble of nuanced personality; The strengths of me debrided the secrets of my lungs, pink and untold for you to confide, ease trouble in eyes before me. Yet were you astute? Could your mind compute the depth of the beautiful find floating before you? You bent, my unique particles ended their show of strength broken in length; You twisted, crushed and divided my dreams subsided... Molded to an unrecognizable form, I became your norm. Though you never knew, my secret hope to survive my own gift thrive and lift, lay within you. Your grip thirsted control so long, the pieces of me left burst to skitter away in song among soaring clouds, leaving shrouds of pain grounded and gone... Flying far from the land one beautiful day, away from you and the broken balloon that laid in your hand.

I'm losing my mind in a hurry! Maybe, maybe, losing the mind is letting it find itself or maybe, i'm just crazy I keep running with anticipation, with heart open and judgment closed [I discover most superbly this way] Foolishly Dropping it, hoping that it'll pick up something useful On sidewalks, books, table-top salty discussions, Sometimes in filth letting it pervade the crevices And when I tidy it, sometimes It doesn't all come out, but I try my best Ever so often, after a new dish soap and scrubbing gloves it comes out cleaner then it ever was, With spicy remains of the crude yet true substances Chunks fall out where the glue of stability erodes I know that I am fond of it this way So I can put them back together With my own fingers Organized C H A O S Instead of the media's, my peers, my parents, piloting The pivotal pieces I let them descend tenderly into location In my own decimal code I constitute the regulations here This belongs to me, my only Safe place It doesn't matter to me if life doesn't flow If it's jagged or slow, here I don't care If insanity is the real sanity Or that distinctive is incorrect This is my society and I shape it as I please Seeing as it only affects me As long as my mind is In flurries of expansion I don't really care if it's lost at all

It afflicts king and queen alike. Brought to the castle by the master of infildelity. He moves smoothly from one to the other. He swiftly takes them as is his right, he believes. Only to have his fill from the fair maiden to the sullied trollop. He sees them all equally in his adventures. He spreads his curse from one to the other. It robs it's victims of their eyes and senses. Over the years, it slowly degrades their intelligence and lives. It can bring down the greatest Empires if given enough time.

Materialize before my eyes: Amorphous clumps of clay In puddles of brown broth Walk around with empty mouths That house ravens of despair Silent stupidity and empty Sockets follow blindly A path hewn ages before They even existed in weary Acceptance of fate unavoidable. And I follow slowly; Crawl on elbows; Claw with hands that grab Mud as a last rope To pull me away from Emptiness shown on Their faces while they step over Me in strange indifference To continue their way My head rests on hands slick and silt with tears spilt for their mute life where words have no weight but what is put in one outpour of grief They say from darkest soil Lightest flowers grow Salty water sprinkles Where my knees touch My lips softly kiss Lovingly, in hope. *** March 11, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Pink- Pink- Pink- Every peak has its own attractions, Like the mountains, The mounts of a woman, Have always remained, Her pride possessions. 01 It has the charms, More intoxicating than wine, As it reveals the beauty, Of a woman's alluring binds. 02 These mounts gives, The wings of imagination and colors, In the mind of an artist, And they arise the passion, In lovers mind.03 Their rise and fall, Has shaken great empires, Under their cool and peaceful shade, The dreams of a child form shapes. 04 Its serenity has given birth, To most pious and holy figures on Earth, And their warmth have shaped the dreams, Of many powerful kingdoms on Earth.05 They feed life giving milk, To every new born light, Every time they laugh and cry, These lofty mounts, Help in forming shapes, When the child begins its story. 06 But these pride possessions, Of a woman, These lofty inspirations, Of Poets, Writers and Artists, These magical charms Which often become more attractive, Than the face of a woman, Are facing, A wide spread pollution,* Which is the unwanted gift of Modern living and They are also the gifts, Of worst living habits, Adopted by thousands, and millions of woman, As they fall prey, Before the charms, And shows of modern generation. 07 Many such wonderful women, Who are in the grip of this pollution,* Have brought this curse on them, Mostly because, Of their own follies and errors. 08 Many such suffering women, Can really get rid of, From the curse of this pollution,* If only they can show, The courage to adopt, The natural way, Of living and breathing, Possible under the boon like shade, Of real Yoga. 09 The reasons, Of the distortions,* Of their pink pink ribbons, Are mainly the results, Of their own creations, And these results, Are not something, For which, One should blame, The destiny or God every time. 10 Some of the serious reasons are, Not caring rightly, For one's own pride possessions, And the lack of, Physical manipulations. Not keeping, A cool and calm mind, And eating, From morning till night, All the junk foods and wine. 11 And working, Beyond all time limits, While stressing, your peaceful mind. 12 Running and more running To catch others, So that you may not leg behind. 13 And madly crying, For more and more wealth, Even if you have sufficient, For your life time. 14 Are the reasons, Which invite the pollution,* To sow its rotten seeds, To spoil, The enchanting valley, Which exists, Amid the mounts of, Pink pink flowers. 15 The pollution,* Can still be derived out, With the little practice of Yoga, But it remains untouched, And unsung about, By most of the modern women. 16 These otherwise elegant women, Regularly face the problems, Of distress, Lack of peace, And sound sleep. Which ultimately take away, Their happiness, And coolness of mind, Resulting in strengthening more, The un sprouted seeds of pollution.* 17 Still it is not too late, If they can only change, Their life styles, Their eating and drinking habits, And adopt from today, The way of natural living, By adopting, The boon like Yoga. 18 As the practice of Yoga, Not only add years to your life, But life to your years, as well. 19 Ravindra Kanpur India 15th Nov. 2012 *Pollution- The other name of Cancer.

~Cancer~ Seaweed waves upon my hair, an empty grave in a maggots lair. The taste of death is what I crave. Don't forget the pretty flowers on my grave. I sleep under a sycamore tree, waiting for a miracle to rescue me My days have been out numbered, counting every link on my chain. My guilt will cause you pain, for laughing at my imperfection ways. Alive and dead in this disease body called hell. We are now connected, in a way I'll never tell. Now I grin at the power you can't decline. A forever gift that will rot down your spine. The real question in my rhyme. Is this curse yours or mine? by;p.d.

R.I.P. William Dale Eubanks d. July 1, 2012, aged 68 yrs., Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee Death came as no surprise the first Sunday in July; it claimed you, on a ridge in Tennessee, with kin who took you in and waited with you through the last hard days. You kept what fears you had well hid, did not betray with loud complaint the fate you could not but know awaited. A smile, a joke, a hug – exotic meals – And genuine interest greeted all you met. And you were, certainly, never boring but well-traveled and smart beyond the telling. We'll miss your wit, your bright demeanor, and will remember all you freely gave --- and what you took from us with your passing.

Ana's taught me to count not in numbers but calories with a yolk-yellow calorie handbook. The calories pulse with a heartbeat. They are not dead and number-flat; they whisper and breathe, real and alive. A pebble-heavy potato = 105. She's grey-gaunt, spinning herself thin, this mirror woman staring back at me, anaemic-pale and flower-frail. But fat silently seeps, oozes greasily beneath jutting hips, contaminating, expanding like some monstrous child. Consumed by the rituals of chew-and-spit - food without guilt and regret, no threat, no unctuous slippage of calories down the throat. But hunger escapes from the body's bone-cage; my tongue tingles for texture and taste, craves chocolate's dark velvet melt. "Eat," my body pleads. "Resist." Ana stabs my ear with a knife twist. Eat. Resist. Eat. Resist. Eat. Resist. The fading scar on my left wrist where I tried to cut out calories is the silvering slash of a grin. And Ana's still smirking, skewing reality, sneering "You'll never cut yourself free from me." 3 a.m., bloating in the bathroom's mirror-bright gaze, one pound gained; the scale's needle jabs hard into catastrophe's red haze. Ana's on her knees beside the toilet, guilt-goading me, forcing unforgiving fingers down my throat. Cardiac arrhythmia. My heart flutters like a flickering bulb, stutters like my tongue searching for words to voice a lie. Ana tightens the puppet strings, pulls my marionette mouth into shapes that say: "I'm not hungry." "I've already eaten today." Her voice is snake-hissy slithering into my ear: "How many calories? How many calories?" Insistent, scratching my bone china mind, screeching like nails down a windowpane. Drifting dizzily through pangs and pains, giddy with the headiness starvation brings, air-light and feather-floaty. My thoughts could take off like birds. Always cold. The Arctic gusts in and I'm blown to bone. My arms are winter branch brittle; wrists could snap with one tap. I wobble on frangible twigs that barely pass for legs. Ketosis: a sour apple smell clinging acidic on breath and skin. Hair strands are falling: spider web threads, wisps and glints of coppery red; autumn filaments floating off into empty space... Drip. Drip. I'm tubed and taped - the needling invasion like soul rape. A fattening elixir of nutrients and glucose is cannula-fed into my winter-blue veins. Ana's jabbering on the end of the bed, swinging matchstick legs, her bone-brittle voice word-jabbing me: disgusting, pathetic, obese. They've stuffed me with Prozac, fed me Diazepam, in a desperate bid to turn her volume down. Gauzy morning, a hollow dawning: I must play the hunger game, consume just enough to gain. Discharged, I'll count my days not in numbers but calories, guilt-grubby and grubbing for the killing crumbs, spinning myself thinner till Ana frees or kills me.

The rainbow of reason ends With a pot of gold and jabberwocky. When hippocampus dwells in solitary, silent, eerie, forgotten dormitories of the expatriated mind. In planned visits To familiar spaces, When elapsed faces are still hailed with fervor, and hasty, eager, vivid candor, As though they had never gone. Deep in thought In cavernous bowels tangled lost, Remote repartees recurring restlessly. Cautious, wary, and ever leery of echoing footsteps anxiously nearing, as though someone might overhear. As even eyes fail to mirror The twilight of past vigor, Speaking in feeble voices muddled beneath walls, beneath walls, beneath walls, beneath walls. Walking politely in ancient, and empty, imaginary halls. The stars stop still and unfleeting Listening to last breaths, and the heart's last beating, To hearken timid last words from the past's last illusions, past apparitions, past veritas past delusions, Where celestial alae still go a-flutter with lost aspirations. When the frail hand that once held and sheltered Cannot even rattle dandelion clocks, Or crush delicate imago wings into dust, and caress, and feel, and touch, Save for Elysian veldts Where the rainbow of reason ends.

Yoga in Poem - A novel attempt 01/ Many YOGA is a priceless gift given by great ancient Indian saints for every human being through Vedas. I am trying to bring one step each week before all my known and unknown friends of Poetry Soup and for other viewers for a glimpse of this treasure of India, which in fact is a gift of Good Health for the entire humanity. Ravindra Meditation Step 01 Meditation remains The essence of healthy living And the most precious Gift given to humans By the Almighty God. We think and think And puzzle our mind With ideas and emotions With worries and Irrelevant thoughts. This goes on in our minds Ever since we find that We have grown-up To know and understand And to behave with The world. But unfortunately From that very time We unknowingly start Worrying also and Sometimes Not only during daytime But even When we are in sleep. This never ending Row of worries and worries only Sometimes for reasons And often without a season Have become a habit To lament On what we have and More on, What we do not have. This constant Lamentation and pondering Brings and form shape A Free Gift for all of us In the form of slow poisoning Which we inhale and drink Every day and every moment When we breathe and talk When we love or walk When we behave and misbehave When we are in a haste and Even when We lie on a cot Or when we fight Without a cause. This constant thinking and Worrying Slowly destroy everything Good and great in our heart Given by the Almighty God. But meditation and Yoga Can restore What we often unknowingly Just throw away By our day and night worrying Which continues When we go to sleep or Are busy in accomplishing our tasks. Meditation and Yoga Can restore What we often unknowingly Have lost By our worries While sleeping and even while Accomplishing our tasks With a gift of better and healthy life. Ravindra Kanpur India 4rd /6th July 2013 To be continued …… NOTE: The series which I am starting today is also a gift for all American friends on their Great of Independence 4th July. My Greetings for all of you. With best wishes…Ravindra Benefits of Meditation can be seen and noted on the following webpage. http://www.ineedmotivation.com/blog/2008/05/100-benefits-of-meditation/

Thunder and lightning ruled the black night As the frightened young mother struggled Beads of sweat ran down her pretty face The old midwife calmly sponged off sweat She hummed a lullaby to soothe her pain Praying that the husband would be back soon Five miles to travel in treacherous weather Seeking the one doctor for hundreds of miles Twelve hours of labor now seemed like days. Fell trees and shaved off roof tops, toppled by whipping winds Rising rivers were swollen, and flooded make shift roads Endless rain poured like there would be no end Meanwhile her unborn child lay bridged as it battled for release Suddenly the door burst open and the doctor rushed in His clothes sticking to his skin; there was no time to change With his palm he felt her forehead asking pertinent questions He and the old midwife tried manually to turn the exhausted child At each attempt, mother's painful cry was heard in the distance She gave one guttural scream and usherd her baby into the world The child, born limp, barely breathing as the mid wife took her away He starred into her eyes, and knew that she was beyond his help He brought the new born to lie in her mother's warm arms The silence was noticeable; the raging storm had passed The sound of light rain, now a comfort, gently tapped upon tin roof In a soft, weak voice she called her husband and managed a smile Then she blessed her child with words from a mother's heart "May you be a light, swift as lightning when days grow dark." "May you have wisdom and foresight beyond your days" "May your heart nurture and remain open to love" "Like rain, may you bring life to all " "Born this stormy night, your name will be "Rain". ~*~ By : Audrey Carey Note: Imagination at work:) Written for Constance's "Rain, The Story" Contest. My imagination took me to some little village in Africa. This scene is played out in many villages where health care is non-existent. However, there's always, thanks to God, a wise, caring "midwife" to help mothers during delivery. Everyday, countless miracles are performed by God through "midwives"!

Sudden and strangely strong many shocks flood my body causing muscles to stiffen in protest. Does it hurt? Sometimes. My mind drowns itself in electricity without prior warning causing a myriad of odd seizures. Each one different from the last; no seizure is the same. My memory is not impaired, I remember every one and everything around me, although speech disappears. People appear scared, not from me but from what I have – epilepsy. Many stigmas float around the condition, many are as false as the common school rumour. Still they are believed like an old wife's tale. Epilepsy? An unwanted burden, it limits possibilities, still I have it and so bare its unwanted scars. My life impounded and unfulfilled, epilepsy is a curse without any hope of a cure, it's only made controllable by a blend of concoctions created by textbook intellect. Still my body and soul remain my own regardless of how hard it tries to take control, I remain confident and strong. Epilepsy? Dominant as it may be life must go on and I must continue to grow and prosper.

Sleeping in your crib, you were curled onto your side, A thumb inside your mouth, a blanket cuddled in your arm. Only 18 months old, your baby blue eyes so beautiful, How could anyone bruise you this way, your innocence lost, Who was it who hurt you like this, if only you could talk. You take a bottle from me and nuzzle into my grasp, I want to protect you from any more harm and pain, All I can do right now, is love and care for you with all I have, And give your medications that will make you strong again. So I kiss you good night and place you back in your crib, May your night be filled with good fairies and sweet dreams. Then Social Services will take you away when you are well, I only hope and pray that you will be safe now forever more. **A true story from my Nursing career working in Pediatrics.

Do not slip away.There are still tomorrows to follow Still stories to tell,Photographs to be taken More cakes to share,Candles to blow Walks in the meadows, Strolls along Summer shores. Hold on , Hold on , Be strong ! Helplessly I turn to God, I Pray to the one... The one I hug and fight my battles with The one I love , hate , love ,ignore and adore . ' Do not give me chrysanthemums, dear Lord Nor bless my land with cypress trees Do not let widow sparrows rest on mother's window sill Nor let our spirits wear their silent wings. Don't let me hear the sound of mourning bells Give him life, and give me joy Give him hope, and give me laughter Give us petals, velveteen petals that keep on blooming Give me Spring ,Don' t give me Fall.'

For the ANXIETY poetry contest of Lewis Raynes (I rarely have anxiety myself but I have seen its effects for many years on my husband. The reason I put this poem in the past tense is because he is better now but some nights the "night snake" returns.)

Chain smoke until I'm in care of the CO. There's one left, still. I smoke it really slow. "It's the end," I anticipate As the last inch evaporates. I can't get Over it; It's over before I know it. Butt, I can't quit. I'm possessed with this Obsession; I'm addicted. My lungs have oxygen, Yet I'm suffocating inside. I can't breathe again Without my 'noxide.
I saw the Four Horsemen - the famous apocalypse guys. They rode silently past neatly folded laundry, They approached me in silence, their breathe a rye and meadow wind. Each of them in turn, gliding ghostlike past where I sat, watching steam on the mirror grow cold. War had no use for me, past my prime, bum knee. Not even as cannon fodder. Famine had little to work with, I had known hunger, want, poverty, nothing he had could scare me. Pestilence likewise dismissed me out of turn, for which I'll be forever grateful, probably too sedentary to spread the touch. And Death, well, we all must dance, but today is not the day, now not the hour, Death merely bid me good day. And then they were gone, their vacancy tangible, while I decided to look up embolisms or strokes, trying to close this doorway into myself. Until I saw the tracks in the talcum powder, heard the soft whicker of horse, and tasted their life on my tongue.

Cancer, you are an artist A prolific one at that, For several dear ones Have encountered your work. Your wretched fingers as sculptors Design imprints of faces unknown. You smudge white, pain-ridden clay A little here, a little there, Till your subject becomes amorphous. But oh you are not finished! A red cross encrusted kiln Invariably cements your doings. A surgery of crackling and burning, Until the shape is spit out, A hard shell lost of all dignity. Satisfied with your creation, You give it one last look Before it rests on an earthly shelf And another project is begun. I am sad to say, You are quite skilled at your craft.

Monitor Tweaking Guide
In the effort to tweak every part of your system, we cannot leave out one of the most important peripherals - that being the Monitor. You may not know it, but even your monitor can be tweaked, not necessarily for performance but for quality. Read on and enjoy!
Monitor Cleaning
let's start with the dirty work first. If you want your monitor to have superior quality you are going to have to clean your monitor at least once a week. You know we all get those pesky peoples who insist on touching and pointing to things on screen *Argh*. There is specific monitor cleaning liquid(s) around, to me its just like a Tennis Racket company recommending you use their tennis balls... BS, anyways grab some Window Cleaner liquid you have laying around the house, however make sure you DO NOT use any liquid with Ammonia in it as I have been told by various people it can wear out the outer coating (Anti-Reflective Anti-Glare) on your monitor screen. Once you have that grab a couple pieces of paper towel. Now TURN OFF YOUR MONITOR (never attempt to clean your monitor when it is on), now spray an adequate amount of window cleaner onto the paper towel (again, never spray anything directly onto the monitor screen). Depending on the size of your monitor you will need more or less spray. First rub the wet paper towel over the monitor, go over the WHOLE screen a couple times (don't let any liquid leak into the monitor insides) now with the other dry piece of paper towel dry the screen, remember to get into the 'hard to reach' spots and also try to remove dust etc. If you have the time you also might wish to clean the rest of your monitor (e.g. top, sides). Now that your monitor is clean, lets move onto the next step.
Monitor & Power
I'll keep this section short as possible, if your monitor is plugged into a power board (or anything else to that effect) you may experience undesirable effects like glowing, fuzziness, lines and even a black screen with no picture. To avoid all that, simple do not plug your monitor into a power board. Instead just plug it into a direct power source such as a plug in the wall. I've seen some people that have actually sent their monitor back saying it was faulty, but of course they had their monitor plugged into a power board.
This goes without saying...but... make sure all power connectors are connected correctly into the back of your monitor and power source.
It is also a good idea not to have external communication devices such as mobile phones near your monitor, this can also cause some undesirable effects that were listed above.
If you have done everything listed above try Degaussing your monitor (that is if you have a digital monitor), if that doesn't work try turning your monitor on and off. If none of that doesn't work it may be that your monitor is faulty, in most cases many monitors have a 3 to 5 year warranty, so there should be no troubles getting a replacement.
Refresh Rates
On the quality side of things, this is the most important step you can perform. Depending on your video card we are aiming for a highest possible Hz Refresh we can archive. If you have a old (and I mean really old) video card such as a Cryix Logic 2mb card you will be struggling to reach 85Hz... If you have a video card that is around 3 years old or less you should easily be able to get a 85Hz Refresh rate.
To change your refresh rate you can either use a option built-in to Windows or you could use a very cool program called, PowerStrip. First I'll show you how to change the Refresh Rate within windows and then with PowerStrip.
Changing Refresh Rate in Windows
1) Right click on your desktop and click Properties
2) Click the Settings tab, and advanced, then click the Monitor tab
3) Under Refresh Rate, pull down the 'pull down bar' and start at 75Hz and slowly increase to 85Hz and see how your monitor copes with each setting. As I said above, if you can reach 85Hz and looking good that is our aim, if you can't reach 85Hz, chance are you'll have to stay at 70Hz or 75Hz.
Changing Refresh Rate with Power Strip
1) First you'll need to download Power Strip if you don't already have it. Click Here to download Power Strip 2.65.03 (645kb) from our server
2) Setup and Install Power Strip by loading psbeta.exe
3) Open Power Strip, right click on the icon in the taskbar and click PowerStrip Configuration
4) In the settings tab you will see the option to choose your Refresh Rate, first increase the setting from default slowly up to 85Hz, if your monitor doesn't support 85Hz, leave it at the highest possible setting that it looks good at.
Note - While changing your Refresh Rate within Windows or Power Strip if your picture looks bad / un-viewable you'll need to restart your system in Safe Mode (at boot press and hold F8) and choose a lower Refresh Rate and reboot again. With both Windows and Power Strip after you change a setting there is a option to change it back to the pervious setting, so do so if the Refresh you choose is incorrect.
Video Card Options
Again, also depending on your video card you can increase the amount of colors Windows uses for applications and games. A common setting is 16 bit color, such video cards like the Voodoo 3 cannot handle anything over 16 bit color due to its chip. If you have a TNT1 / TNT2 / GeForce / GeForce II / Voodoo 4/5 you'll be able to use the current maximum of 32 bit color. If you have the option of 16 bit or 24 bit color, go for 16 bit color as overall things in general looks better, same with if you can choose 24 bit or 32 bit color go for 32 bit.
Monitor Cooling
Monitor cooling has been around for a little while now... I believe 3DCOOL.com were the first to produce a monitor cooler. Your monitor as most of know can output some heat, too much heat can be bad and even cause your monitor to play up. I don't have a 3DCOOL.com Monitor Cooler to review, instead I have just refereed to their website for info and pics.
The 3DCOOL.COM Monitor Cooler is one of our more unique products. it's actually quite simple in nature, a clean white casing that houses a powerful fan to suck the air off of your monitor. This fan does not blow in dusty air to your monitor, it takes the air out of your monitor, keeping it clean inside! The monitors heat is reduced to little to nothing, and your monitor will live a happy happy life with this inexpensive addition to your PC.
- 38CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of power!
- Fan spins at 2100RPM
- 27dbA loudness, a whisper is 23dbA
- Fits on any monitor guaranteed
- Blows the heat off of your monitor
- 210 x 150 x 43 mm
- Drops temperature by 30 degrees (F) average
If you have a little cash laying around I'd suggest you get a Monitor Cooler, apart from being useful they are pretty cool. Do your homework and search around the net for a decent and well priced cooler as there are many available.
Is your monitor looking any better now? Well it would want to be otherwise I'll personally come over and throw a brick through it.... err well maybe not but I'd want to if it didn't perform to the stands we were expecting. Also remember older monitors, such as 13" / 14" Analog can not really be tweaked, the older = worse quality making it harder to produce a better output quality. If you are on the look out for a new cheapish monitor I'd recommend a ViewMaster NEC CromaClear 17" (that's what I'm using at this moment). On the other hand, if your monitor is outputting a much better picture then before this guide, you'll of course look forward to better gaming experience. That can't be a bad thing one a 6 hour Counter Strike LAN...

Reese Witherspoon invited Prince William and Kate Middleton to her recent wedding.
The 'Water for Elephants' actress tied the knot with Hollywood agent Jim Toth in a romantic ceremony last month and she was keen for the royal couple to attend so they would ask her to their highly-anticipated nuptials on April 29.
She told US TV show 'Live with Regis and Kelly': "I can't even contain my enthusiasm for the royal wedding! I'm kind of bummed I'm not invited to the royal wedding. My girlfriend asked me if I was invited. Well, no, but I invited them to my wedding!"
While Britain's future king and queen failed to attend, Reese - who has two children, Ava, 11, and seven-year-old Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe - says she enjoyed every minute of her big day.
She revealed: As my girlfriend says, 'You only get married for the second time once!'
"It was so much fun. My daughter helped me pick out my dress. She was my maid of honour. It wasn't stressful."
Reese recently revealed she "didn't have to think" before accepting Jim's marriage proposal because she was absolutely certain she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
She said: "I knew he was The One all right. A clue was when he asked me to marry him and I said yes right away. Didn't have to think about it. It just feels like the right thing at the right time in my life."

Hiller hot, has to get hotter
Jonas Hiller has allowed two or fewer goals in 11 of his past 13 games, going 9-2-2 with a .927 save percentage.
Now, he'll have to be even better.
That starts Friday, in Detroit, where the Red Wings have won only 18 in a row and the Ducks, historically in the regular season, have been rotten.
"Well, somebody has to break that streak," Hiller said, laughing. "They definitely have a great team. But we've shown that we can play with the best teams right now. We have to believe in being able to win there."
The Ducks' first visit to Detroit this season -- on Nov. 5 -- resulted in a 5-0 loss. They haven't won at Joe Louis Arena since Feb. 10, 2008. That's exactly four years ago Friday.
"This is a new game," Hiller said. "It doesn't really matter what happened last time. I think everybody's really motivated to go in there and do our best. I think we have a chance."

When we lived in Australia, one of my treasured memories of being a small girl in England was the bluebell wood in Spring....I could almost smell the faint hyacinth scent and feel the wet sappy stems in my fingers if I wished hard enough....
Now I'm all grown up, I realise that pulling up these woodland beauties is not only illegal but guaranteed disappointment! There's no sadder sight than an armful of bluebells thrown down, wilted and withered, by someone who didn't realise they wouldn't even survive until they got home....They are meant to be enjoyed like this, growing under the beech trees, sunlight dancing on their blue bell flowers, filtered through the bright green soft new leaves above. Now we are living here again, I insist on an annual pilgrimage to a bluebell wood, to breath in the scent and marvel at the blue carpet before me, as far as the eye can see, in every direction.......

Hi Susie,
Well, there is no more beautiful a sight than a bluebell wood in full bloom. Just beautiful.
So sorry that I haven't been around for a while.....massive computer and Blogger problems ..... HUGE !! I am hopefully back on track now but, I'm not holding my breath !!
Hope you and yours are well and enjoying the most glorious weather that we are having. XXXX

Figures from the two most hyped weddings of 2011 are on Barbara Walters' list of the "10 Most Fascinating People of 2011" — although one wasn't the bride and the other has already ended her union.
Pippa Middleton, the obsessed-over sister of Princess Catherine, and Kim Kardashian — along with the rest of her camera-loving family — are part of the list that Walters will count down in her annual special, which airs Dec. 14 on ABC.
Others on the list include "X Factor" impresario Simon Cowell; "Modern Family" stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet; pop star Katy Perry; Donald Trump; and New York Yankee Derek Jeter, who became the newest member of baseball's 3,000-hit club this year.
If you're wondering why Pippa Middleton made this year's list over her sister, it's because Kate was part of last year's special. Also, by our count, the names revealed Wednesday (Nov. 30) account for, at most, eight slots on Walters' list (and possibly only seven, if she counts Ferguson and Stonestreet as one entity).
We suspect a political figure will fill one of those spots — and no, we're not counting Trump. There's also not a movie star on the list yet — so Ryan Gosling, this may be your chance to put the Bradley Cooper Incident behind you. (Last year's No. 1 was Gen. David Petraeus, then the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan.)
Who should round out Walters' list for 2011?

Sorry for the delay, I was flying to the hated Dulles. Most of you know the extent of its poor flying experience, so I won't belabor it, but I will say that I saw George Stephanopoulis looking similarly flustered by the whole thing, so I guess it sucks for everybody.
I brought too good a book for my plane book, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I couldn't concentrate what with the guy elbowing me and with Diane Lane fliting about the screen in the no doubt terrible Must Love Dogs.

Nowadays, all of the well-known online casinos, including wsop, have special bonus programs for regular customers and new users. New gambling sites users pay lot of attention to those bonus programs because nobody wants to waste his or her own money needlessly. So what exactly is a no deposit casino bonus and how can you benefit from it? Well basically a casino will give you say $20 to play at the casino, now you can not just withdraw the money but you can if you turn it over the required amount of times depending on the terms of the no deposit bonus.
There are several types of bonus programs in online blackjack, roulette betting, and poker gambling establishments. Almost all online casinos provide free no deposit casino bonus programs for new users. The only thing you have to do is to create an account on a gambling site. The point is that all the casino bonuses are usually limited in time. The lifetime of deposit bonuses is usually about a week, and for non-deposit sign-up bonuses it may be even shorter. The sign-up bonus amount in online casinos and poker rooms is usually from $15 to $100. Some gambling establishments choose an alternative approach: they provide huge bonuses (up to $1000, or even more) which you have to use during a very short period of time (an hour or something like that). Such an approach usually hits the spot because online casino users are hot-tempered and risky people. They just can't miss such an opportunity!
In some online casinos, including Rainbow Riches, you must have a certain sum of money on your account if you want to use your free no deposit casino bonus in game. Experienced players highly recommend to keep this sum on your account even if bad luck pursues you. Inasmuch as the lifetime of bonuses is short, you will lose them if you don't turn them over in time. They also recommend to use bonuses for playing games with low casino advantage (blackjack, craps poker, pai gow poker, and so on). Speaking of poker, online poker rooms have some specificities which other US no deposit casino don't have. Firstly, you may take part into free poker tournaments which are also called freerolls. In freerolls, the money prize fund is usually formed by means of a poker room, and the participants don't have to pay entry fee. Another good opportunity for poker players is a special bonus program which almost all of the online poker rooms have. At the beginning, you have to complete a special test with questions about poker rules, variations, strategies, and logic. The reason why poker rooms offer those programs is that poker is quite complicated and multidisciplinary game, and you will hardly win in poker cash game if your knowledge in all of those areas are not so strong, and online poker rooms promote the idea that everybody can become a poker professional and earn money for life at the gambling table.
Online no deposit casino bonus programs is not the only way to play blackjack on your mobile, roulette, or poker for free. Almost all of the top online casinos offer free casino games. You don't even have to register on a gambling site – just download special software and play! Many online casinos also have online versions of the games, and the range of online games is usually much wider.

Shorten an album to 4 tracks to make an excellent EP
It's pretty difficult. Was listening to Sufjan Stevens last night during a long drive and, bored and weary, tried to compress Illinois into four tracks. Tricky.
Had this thread a few years ago but thought it would be worth another go. New albums, new users...
This was mine back then:
Shellac - 400 Hurts
- A Prayer To God
- Canaveral
- Shoe Song
- Watch Song
would work well
for virtually any band with nothing to offer over their singles.
Underworld - dubnobasswithmyheadman
Dark & Long
Dirty EpicWha?
there's not a dud track on the album. Only change I'd make is to swap the album version of Skyscraper for the Telegraph mix.
I might be doing it wrong
I wasn't saying the album's got duffers on it, it was that if those 4 tracks had been released as an EP, it would be the greatest EP ever.
The Queen is Dead
The Queen is Dead
Bigmouth Strikes Again
I Know it's Over
There is a LightI'd turn Phoenix's - Wolfgang Amadeus into fantastic a 3 track e.p.
Just leave the first 3 songs and delete the rest.
Superchunk - Majesty Shredding
Digging for Something
Crossed Wires
Slow Drip
Rope LightThe first Ramones album
Blitzkrieg Bop
Beat On The Brat
53rd and 3rd
Judy is a PunkWould possibly make the best ep ever

Bananafishbonesyou've angered me now
not because those aren't 4 of the 5 best tracks (they are) but because the title-track is the best song on the album (give or take Give Me It). Make it a 5-track EP and we'll talk
that one's good too
whole album's vastly underrated
It sure is
Amazed at how much it gets slagged off, but it's one of my favourite Cure albums.
have to admit to it not being a favourite of mine
I remember loving it when I was much younger, because it was very different to anything else I'd heard. But I've since wearied of it — especially the Bananafishbones and the Piggy in the Mirrors.

Wash your fucking ears, man. "Apart" and "Trust" are the only duds, and "dud" is probably too harsh a term.
Wish is one of the essential 6 Cure albums.
auteur55 this'd thisI might allow Doing The Unstuck
the album is just so heavily dominated by those three tracks, for me
A Letter to Elise does nothing for you? really?
ThirstyDog this'd this
the s/t would definitely make for a great EP, though
I'd have a slightly different tracklisting (5 tracks):
End of the World
The PromiseWild Mood Swings
This is a Lie
Mint Car
Jupiter CrashKiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Just Like Heaven
Like Cockatoos
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
CatchMessed with the running order for this one. Pretty happy with that. Much happier than I am with the full album, that's for sure.
I love this album
It's their most varied & colourful selection of tunes IMO, something for everyone. My EP would be almost the same as yours except I'd swal Like Cockatoos for Hot Hot Hot or Shiver & Shake.
mine would be similar but I'd get Torture in there somewhere
and try very hard to get The Snakepit in too
I do love the album as a whole, but
dig it:
Love Is The New Feel Awful
Holding Me Up
A Loan Tonight^^^35-minute EP of pure psych-wank goodness (eff you Pitchfork)
Certainly the best way to approach New Order's late albums

it pulls it around fairly miraculously considering

Ascendingmaybe not Ascending
maybe Insatiable (Two) or who knows Halcyon Days
the other three are locks though
Only Child is one of ToD's best by far
maybe it's just being an only child myself that makes it so good to me, but it really is gorgeous
those three songs are all among the band's best
I actually have Luna Park as their finest hour - it's just the most fucking cinematic build-up imaginable. and wasn't even written by Keely, lol
the rest of the album is disappointingly taken up with the 'fast bit - slow bit - fast bit' formula they've made their own, including Ascending which isn't as good as I remembered it being
it could have been a brilliant career

Grave Architecture
Rattled By The Rush
Half A Canyonbut it's cool to see what other people rate
i knew this album would have loads of different opinions
because, beyond the usual which tracks are better arguments, WZ also shows off so many sides of the band that someone like me who loves their quiet, reflective side would choose an entirely different set from someone who loves their ragged, weird side.

Pat Summitt said Friday she decided on her own not to continue coaching the Volunteers and never felt Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart forced her out.
"It was entirely my decision to step down from my position as the head coach of women's basketball at the University of Tennessee," Summitt said in a three-paragraph statement in response to the "misunderstandings" created by her comments in a signed affidavit that was released Wednesday.
Summitt said she wanted to clarify her comments in the affidavit.
"I did not then, and I do not now, feel that I was 'forced out' by the university," said Summitt, who has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. "Anyone who knows me knows that any such effort would have met with resistance. If my affidavit has caused confusion on that point, it needs to be dispelled."
In the affidavit that was part of a lawsuit filed by former Volunteers media director Debby Jennings against the university and Hart, Summitt said the AD told her that her she would not be returning — "a decision I would have liked to have made on my own." Summitt also said that Hart later told her she'd misinterpreted his comments.
Wake Forest suspended six football players, including four starters and the team's second-leading rusher, for its game today at Maryland because of a violation of team rules.
Coach Jim Grobe said cornerback Merrill Noel, safety Daniel Mack, linebacker Mike Olson, guard Frank Souza, running back Deandre Martin and receiver Airyn Willis will be eligible to be reinstated for the Oct. 20 game at Virginia.
Highly recruited twins Andrew and Aaron Harrison committed to play basketball at Kentucky. Andrew is the No. 1 point guard in the class of 2013. Aaron is the No. 1 shooting guard in the class. They selected Kentucky over Maryland. …
Another top recruit, Jabari Parker, plans to make official visits to Duke, Florida, Michigan State, Stanford and Brigham Young, his father said. …
Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie, who took over last month when Jim Calhoun retired, made some changes to his coaching staff. Ollie promoted Glen Miller from assistant to associate head coach, and promoted Karl Hobbs from Director of Basketball Administration to assistant coach. Former associate head coach George Blaney will remain as an assistant.

Quilt in a
I started this stained glass version of a Stack & Slash quilt July 2nd.
My plan was to use Sharon Pederson's quilt-as-you-go method of construction.
It's my first attempt at anything bigger than a table runner quilting this way.
I enjoyed it and will look for other QAYG design ideas!
I made one of these quilts from a Clueless Quilter's Workshop years ago. That one I hand-quilted and gave to my sister-in-law. (She hugged it over and over, earning future quilt-gifting privileges!) This one was supposed to use up stash from my totes and only buy fabric as needed. So how did I manage to buy 11 yards by the time it was done? Let's just say it takes a lot of black to make the stained glass sashes! And 2 yards don't really count as I grabbed fabric that looked perfectly black at the store, but when I got it home it looked like charcoal.
I lucked out with my first stack of 9 fabrics: slashed and re-stacked with no two fabrics in blocks together. As designed. Unfortunately my 2nd stack got shuffled wrong and EVERY block had two of the same fabrics in them.
I fixed them. Of course.
And then went to the internet to find the correct formula for stacking & slashing.
My Stitch-in-the-Ditch presser foot (or Edge foot) was getting it's first real workout and I needed to learn to look ahead at the foot guide and not where the needle goes in so the stitching would land near the "ditch". My recent discovery that my old Viking 960 indeed had needle position features - either unused or forgotten - came in amazingly useful. It's like a brand new toy!!
I decided to give up my ritual of watching local morning news loop (repeating the same news for 2 hours) and headed into the sewing room soon after Tom left for work. Things were going along quite nicely and by July 9th a stack of blocks were all quilted and I was beginning to sew rows together. About 8 a.m. I looked up from my sewing machine and out through the open window. TWO MEN, with GUNS and a SEARCH DOG were walking past the window - less than 3 feet away! DOC was written on the backs of their bullet proof vests! Department of Corrections. Searching for escaped convicts and one of their grandmothers lives across the road!
Perhaps a better response would have been to for me to dive for cover UNDER the sewing machine?
Instead I said, "Um, EXCUSE ME?"
Not sure which of us were more surprised! One asked me if I had seen two men walk by?
(No...just you two...with guns.)
Quilt progress came to a grinding halt.
August 1, 2012.
Jax tested it out first.

Deals of the day-Mergers and acquisitions
March 27 The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 1330 GMT on Monday:
Feb 28 Wal-Mart Stores Inc's U.S. Chief Administrative Officer Tom Mars will step down in March after more than a decade with the company, in which he also served as general counsel, the Wall Street Journal reported.
A Wal-Mart spokesman declined to provide a reason for his departure and Mars could not immediately be reached for comment, the paper said. He will leave the company on March 13, it added.
As the retailer's general counsel from 2002 to 2009, Mars was involved in an investigation into bribery allegations regarding a Wal-Mart store built near the Mexican pyramids, according to company e-mails released earlier this year by members of Congress, the Journal said.
Separately, U.S. shopping center operator Kimco Realty Corp said it had received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission over an investigation involving Wal-Mart Stores and possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Wal-Mart could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters outside of regular U.S. business hours.

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill has suffered another seizure and did not make the trip with the Golden Gophers to face No. 19 Michigan.
Minnesota officials say Kill was not feeling well on Friday and planned to travel to Ann Arbor on Saturday in time to be there for the game. But he suffered a seizure on Saturday morning and is resting at home in Minneapolis.
Kill suffers from epilepsy. It's the fifth game-day seizure he has had in three seasons at Minnesota, and the second this year. Kill did not coach the second half against Western Illinois but did return to coach the entire games against San Jose State and Iowa.
This is the first time that Kill will miss an entire game because of a seizure.

Nicholas Cage versus Alice Kim
Nicholas Cage boozes it up in New Orleans this weekend and gets arrested! Cage was captured on video arguing with his wife and taunting the police early on Saturday in the French Quarter. He was charged with domestic abuse, disturbing the peace, and public drunkenness.
Cage and his third wife, Alice Kim, where on the corner of the street in the French Quarter arguing loudly, just after midnight.
