If you haven't already, now is the time to check out Kim Kardashian's video game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. Apparently the plot line is about networking, rising to fame, and making the money that comes with stardom along the way. Oh, and guess what? It's been out for only about a month and it's already made a whopping $200 million. Do your thing, Kim.
Those that follow Justin Bieber on Instagram know a few things for sure. 1. The celeb likes to, no, LOVES, to show off his muscles. 2. Selfies are his favorite form of photography. There's no denying it. Not only does he post a bunch of these gems, the celeb invested in an app that is basically a social networking program named Shots of Me that is dedicated to the selfie itself. The world made it into the dictionary, after all.
Suits star Megan Markle made a move in the lifestyle sphere with her website, The Tig. The site is described as a "hub" for people who have a "hunger for food, travel, fashion and beauty." Not to be confused with Goop, this Internet landmark doesn't have a commerce component, meaning you don't have direct access to buy Megan's faves through the platform.
Blake Lively's lifestyle site, Preserve, is an editorial and commerce compilation that includes a fun (but kind of pricey) shopping section, as well as videos, photos, and some snippets from Blake herself. If you have the time to scroll through recipes and suggestions of artisan salts, it's definitely something to dive deeper in. The graphics and color story of the website, however, haven't received the best reviews.
Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop leads the pack of celebrity lifestyle brands. The inspirational shopping and lifestyle website is also the place where Gwyneth chose to inform the world of her conscious uncoupling from her husband Chris Martin. Go figure.
When speaking of her to-be-launched online lifestyle brand, E.D., Ellen told WWD, "I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't want it to be the biggest brand name that you can imagine." So what's it going to be about? From pet products to decor to apparel, Ellen's brand will store it all. It sounds major—kind of like that Oscars selfie.
Kate Bosworth's app is all about style, which is no surprise considering she launched a line of clothing with Topshop a few months ago. Kate's app, Style Thief, allows you to find the source of an article of clothing you see in photo so that you can then purchase it. Don't snap too many street style pics. Your bank account might not be too pleased.
Calling all cosmetics queens! DJ Hannah Bronfman launched an app you need to know about. Her project, Beautified, allows users to find and book open beauty appointments at the very last minute.
Ashton Kutcher has been said to have financially backed apps like Uber and Washio, a laundry app. Interested?

In 1963, Singapore merged with the Federation of Malaya together with North Borneo and Sarawak to form Malaysia. It was not a happy, incident-free union. It ended the 144 year British rule of Singapore.
There were many ideological differences between Singapore and the federal government of Malaysia which led to distrust. It resulted in frequent disagreement within politics, economic, financial and social policies. Within a year racial tension increased dramatically. It was fueled by Federal policies of affirmative action, which granted special privileges to the Malays guaranteed under Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia. The Malays also enjoyed more financial and economic privileges. In 1964, racial riots broke out.
To prevent further bloodshed, Singapore was expelled from Malaysia on 7 August 1965 by a unanimous vote of the Parliament of Malaysia. Lee Kuan Yew tearfully announced Singapore's sovereignty and independence by saying: "For me, it is a moment of anguish. All my life, my whole adult life, I have believed in merger and unity of the two territories."
On that day Singapore became the only nation in modern history to gain independence against its own will. The new state became the Republic of Singapore, with the Yang di-Pertuan Negara becoming President.

As soon as Jayson Werth saw Brewers shortstop Yunesky Betancourt's throw get away from first baseman Prince Fielder, his mind was made up. Werth took a wide turn around first base, hustled toward second and slid in safely. He hadn't reached base with a hit, but then, what little damage the Nationals had done came without the benefit of hits.
They'd scored two of their three runs on walks by Brewers pitcher Chris Narveson, taking advantage of some wildness from the left-hander before he settled in, and went silent after that. They'd been beaten in twin complete games by Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee the last two days, shut out by Lee in the second one, and had a .209 average for the season, making a too-regular habit of wasting good pitching performances.
So Werth wasn't waiting around for a hit - especially when an error gave him a reprieve on a routine grounder. He slid into second, and within three pitches, he was gone. Brewers pitcher Zach Braddock gave him one look before throwing a 1-1 curveball to Adam LaRoche, and by the time Braddock stepped toward home, Werth was gone, stealing third base without a throw. And when the Brewers brought left fielder Ryan Braun in as an extra infielder, trying to throw him out at home on a grounder, Werth didn't flinch. He and third-base coach Bo Porter had talked about going on contact, even with one out and a drawn-in infield. But the Brewers weren't going to stop him, not in a lefty shift that had no one within four steps of third base.
LaRoche bounced a grounder toward Fielder, Werth slid into home as the throw came high, and took off prancing down the first-base line, celebrating a 4-3, 10-inning win with anyone who had a free hand.
"He went out there and busted his butt on three separate plays," LaRoche said, "and got us that win."
Was it an ugly way to end a two-game losing streak? Absolutely. But the Nationals are in no shape to be going after style points at the moment.
They're missing Ryan Zimmerman. They switched leadoff hitters in an effort to jump-start their offense, and aside from a sacrifice fly, Danny Espinosa did the same thing Ian Desmond had been doing: he went 0-for-4. Even Werth is in a prolonged slump; he went 0-for-5, dropping his early-season average to .196.
But what they can do is make hard turns around bases, time pitchers' jumps for steals and take anything they can from an opponent who might be vulnerable in a lazy moment. Players who do those things are the ones general manager Mike Rizzo stockpiles. They're the ones Jim Riggleman, with all of his talk about "mistakes of aggression," loves to manage. And Werth, in effectively winning the game after a break, modeled the ethic that might help the Nationals win a few games they don't deserve until their offense gets going.
"I think we've given away a lot of games this year already - games we had a chance to win, and didn't," Werth said. "Who knows what can happen? We've got a good club, and we've got a lot of talent."
They had a 3-0 lead early, and still were up a run in the ninth inning until Sean Burnett blew his first save of the year. Instead of watching it slip away, though, they wrested away a win they might not have gotten in the past, and probably shouldn't have had on Friday.
"You can look at it the other way, too, and see a lot of the games you let slip away," LaRoche said. "That's what we want to eliminate. We don't want to have a lot of games like tonight, where we're in a position to win, and just come out short. To go out and get one in extra innings, and again have some great pitching, that can carry you for a while."

March Madness Is Not Destroying Your Company
The NCAA men's basketball tournament has tipped off, giving bosses and managers their annual opportunity to freak out over the competition's effects on office productivity.
Every year around this time, studies and articles postulate on just how much time employees spend goofing off to watch their alma maters face off during working hours. Some of these go beyond individual offices to project the economic hit to the entire American workplace. Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. released its annual report last week under the rather alarmist headline, "March Madness Could Cost Employers $1.2 Billion." That figure represents the wages paid to unproductive workers, based on a 2009 Microsoft survey that determined that 50 million Americans participate in tournament office pools, the average hourly earnings of $24.31 in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent employment report, and the assumption that each worker spends at least one hour filling out a bracket or otherwise engaged in NCAA-related activities.
These numbers -- and, more importantly, their interpretation -- are dubious at best. Charles Clotfelter, a professor at perennial March Madness participant Duke, conducted a similar study involving academic research and told NPR in 2010 that while immediate productivity appears to decline, the effect on overall productivity is probably overblown, as students and workers anticipate the tournament and can therefore plan ahead to compensate.
"The tournament has a profound and widespread impact on patterns of work," he later wrote on Harvard Business Review's blog. "But American productivity probably isn't affected too much, no more than it is by, say, Thanksgiving." He added that fans and workers can "simply learn to budget their time" when they expect their team to make a significant run.
Still, inflated numbers based on questionable methodology leads some bosses like this one "to police his underlings like a strict school headmaster." Frankly, if you have that little confidence in your employees' capacity to multitask and prioritize, you should probably re-evaluate your hiring process. Additionally, I hate to break it to you, but your office already features the constant presence of a distracting time-suck with the potential to whittle away your employees' productivity. It's called the Internet.
Some employers have actually begun to embrace March Madness as a healthy morale boost for their employees. A survey by OfficeTeam found that 32 percent of employers think the tournament increases employee morale, and 27 percent believe it has a positive impact on productivity, while only 11 percent thought it was a detriment. It's the same idea behind casual Fridays and office happy hours: The happy worker is the productive worker.
By the way, Challenger actually happens to run an office NCAA pool itself, which makes total sense: Every March, it needs to increases its analysts' productivity to tell you just how much yours is going to decline.

Head over to 30_118_9485_13041%5E13076 00.html AMD's website and you'll see that the new Athlon X2 7550 and 7750 have appeared on the list. It is also noticeable that the 125W TDP Athlon 64 X2 6400+ has vanished from the range although the 6000+ model and its slower variants are present and correct.
We tested the Athlon X2 7750 on an MSI DKA790GX Platinum motherboard which has integrated Radeon HD 3300 graphics so we were able to concentrate on the performance of the processor without getting distracted by our choice of graphics cards.
The upshot is that the Athlon X2 7750 had very similar performance to Phenom X3 8750 in PCMark05 so we can conclude that 2 x fast core = 3 x fairly fast core, at least in some applications. In a dedicated processor test such as POV-Ray the triple cores in Phenom X3 wipe the floor with Athlon X2. In our experience most software isn't threaded to take advantage of anything more than a dual core processor which puts the emphasis on raw clock speed and the Athlon X2 has that in spades.
When it comes to overclocking the Phenom X3 8750 we could raise the base clock from 200MHz to 230MHz to give a speed of 2.76GHz. With Athlon X2 we were able to increase the clock multiplier of this Black Edition processor and zipped up to 3.2GHz without any trouble.
The real surprise lies in the power draw figures as the overclocked Phenom X3 required an extra 30W under load while the Athlon X2 only wanted an extra 5W. As the idle figure in the Windows desktop appeared to drop by 5W we have to say that both figures are within the margin of error so overclocking an Athlon X2 doesn't appear to require any extra power.
Faced with a straight choice of the Athlon X2 7750 at £80 or Phenom X3 8750 at £105 we would choose the dual core model any day of the week but of course we need to consider how AMD stacks up against Intel.
We grabbed the figures from our review of the Intel DG45ID motherboard that was tested with a Core 2 Duo E8500 processor that runs at 3.16GHz. This is a relatively expensive processor that currently sells for £155 however the Intel graphics on the DG45ID are feeble compared to the AMD HD 3300 so you have to read the figures carefully and look at the PCMark05 CPU figure rather than the Overall score. This shows that the Athlon X2 compares very favourably to Core 2 Duo although it has to be remembered that you can overclock the E8500 to 4GHz without difficulty.
A 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E7300 that costs £97 may have given a better comparison to the Athlon X2 however we don't have one to hand. That forces us to take an educated guess that the 2.7GHz Athlon X2 has the edge over a comparable Core 2 at stock speeds. Once the processors are overclocked the Intel processor should pull ahead slightly but honestly it's a tiny margin, unlike the price difference.
With its Athlon X2 7750, AMD's processor division seems finally to be at least close to the track if not back on it. This dual-core CPU brings the technical advancements of the Phenom range to a cheaper, lower price and lower power package and compares well with the competition from Intel. It's not an outright winner but it's certainly one to consider.

A clueless review, if you don't have the hardware to give a comparative review, why bother?
Clueless? really?
I compared the Athlon X2 7750 with Phenom X3 9750, Athlon 64 X2 6400+ and Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 and extrapolated the figures to the cheaper, slower Core 2 Duo E7300 so it's hardly accurate to say that I 'don't have the hardware' although I didn't have the fourth processor on my list.
> Clueless? really?
Don't worry Leo, your review appeared to make sense to me. And your point was well made about the cheaper X2 been a better buy than the X3.
i know this might sound off topic. but do you think a overclocked Athlon X2 7750 just like your one will be powerful enough to play empire total war without a slow and sluggish proformance.
currently i am using amd 64 X2 5200+ 2.7GHz(overclocked to 2.889GHz and vista OS) and it really slugish and slow.
In the PCMARK5 test, Why does the 6400+ blow away the 7750 under the memory test portion??
the 7750 uses ddr2-1066 and has a L3 cache vs the 6400+ which uses ddr2-800 and has only a L2 cache!
Did you make an error while reporting the data?
This review is a joke.... The data is full of holes!
How does the 7750 @ 2.7 GHz consumer the same power as the 6400+ @ 3.2 GHz.
How does the 7750 consume less power when you over clock it and obviously increase the voltage to do so...

Chapter 6
Sasha walked in the front door, the house was silent. She walked to the living room and peeked in. No one was there. She looked into the kitchen. Empty. She crept down the hallway and looked into her parents bedroom. Also empty.
"Hello?" She yelled. No answer came.
It was very unusual for the house to be empty when she got home, but she welcomed the change. She stepped into her bedroom and sat down at her desk. She had been anxiously waiting all day to check her Facebook and see if Oliver had responded. She pulled the web page up and was greeted by 4 notifications and 1 message. She ignored everything else and went straight to the message. It was from Kelsie.
She felt a pain in her chest. She had really thought he would have responded by now. She passed by Kelsie's message and clicked on the conversation with Oliver. He had seen it this morning at 10:55 but hadn't responded. She reread her response 5 times. Maybe she had been too forward. Maybe she had misinterpreted his message. She leaned back in her chair and felt sick to her stomach. She wished Oliver hadn't seen it. She wished she could go back in time and just take it all back.
Sasha slammed the computer shut. She sat in the chair for another 5 minutes feeling miserable when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was Kelsie. Sasha groaned and threw her phone across the room. She had no desire to talk to anyone right now especially Kelsie. She stood from her chair and looked around the room for anything that might distract her. Her eyes rested on her sketch book. She grabbed the sketch book off the ground and found her pencil and sharpener. Then walked to her window seat.
The seat stretched all the way across her large window and was cushioned with a creamy white thin mattress that her mother had sewn for her before her father had died. The seat was decorated with 3 orange throw pillows. Sasha threw back the bright orange window curtains letting in the soft light of the setting sun. she adjusted the pillows just right and plopped down on the seat. She gazed out the window. She had a perfect view of the back yard which was a tiny dirt patch. Nobody ever went back there. Sasha had a perfect view of the sunset and so she decided to draw it. She dumped her colored pencils out next to her and began blending the colors into a beautiful portrait.
Sasha woke with a start. The room was pitch dark. The sun had completely set. She rolled over and felt something hard underneath her. It was the colored pencils. She brushed them onto the floor. They hit with a loud clatter. She saw a small sliver of light coming from underneath her door. Then realized the sound that woke her was someone coming home. She glanced at her alarm clock. 5:42. She had slept for almost 2 hours and what were they doing home so late. She heard footsteps coming across the wood floor towards her bedroom and the door handle creaking. Sasha closed her eyes pretending to be asleep. She heard the door creak open and a deep voice. It was David's.
"She's sleeping."
"Well that explains why she didn't answer her phone." It was her mothers voice.
"I guess we didn't need to rush home after all." David's voice came again. Sasha realized that the two had been out together.
"Well who says we have to end our fun evening just because we're home?" Sasha could hear the sound of them kissing then the door closed.
She heard the footsteps recede and the their bedroom door close. Sasha opened her eyes and groaned. It was all happening again. David probably surprised her with flowers and some beautiful lunch out and a well thought out apology then treated Rachel like a queen until she just couldn't resist forgiving him. Now everything would be all fine and dandy for a few days until David couldn't stand another day without a beer and everything would go back to the way it was. Sasha's apology was probably planned for the next morning at breakfast. She had to think of a way to get out of the house before that.
Sasha rolled over. A tear snuck down her cheek. Then another and another until tears were pouring down her face uncontrollably. Her nose started running. The tears stuck in her throat until she felt she couldn't breath. She sat up and coughed, gasping for breath. She wiped at the tears but they wouldn't stop coming.
"Why?" She whispered, "Why did you have to leave me?" She sputtered and coughed. "I need you!" Her voice was getting louder now. "You were the only one I could rely on. The only one who understood me and you just left." She paused trying to control her voice. Then whipped her nose on her sleeve. "You Left me alone." Her voice became quiet again and the tears stopped. "Daddy." She whispered it as if it felt funny to say. She hadn't said the word in years. She felt as though she had cried every tear she had. Her whole body was numb. She sat on the window seat for 10 minutes in utter silence and blackness. Until she felt she could speak again.
"God?" She paused as if waiting for an answer. "Are you there?" She knew no answer would come but it felt right to ask. "If you can hear me. Will you please help me? Kelsie says you help people in need and that you are always there for me." She said it as if trying to convince herself. "I don't know if you're even there." Her head fell to her chest. She felt completely defeated and the tears began again. "What am I doing?" She almost yelled the words. Then gained control of her voice once more. "No one can help me." She lay back down on the window seat and let the tears flow until she felt so exhausted she couldn't let another tear fall and she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

The Athenaeum
Went here for a hen day girlie lunch on saturday and had a great experience.
The decor is safe and comfortably posh, although lacking a bit of personality.
With the lunchtime offer, the price was worth it. The food was OK, nice enough, good presentation, but nothing to write home about.
What really stood out for us was the outstanding friendliness and helpfulness of the staff! They were accomodating and understanding even when certain members of our party were late.. very late!
Complimentary water, coffee and truffles was a nice touch!
Thanks so much to the staff who made it an extra special experience for the bride to be :)

bunch of us girls took the private room (no need to pay extra, just reserve in good time) for a dinner party last night and had an absolutely awesome time!! (private room big enough to seat 14 comfortably and seats are on pillows on the floor)
The food was very impressive and plentiful for the extremely reasonable price of £10 per head for the bronze menu! For starters there was sheish kebab and chicken tikka were succulent and flavoured well, and the naan bread was fresh from the oven and very tasty. For mains we had two types of curry (not the run-of-the-mill korma and biryani), fresh salad with endless mint sauce and more naan bread and rice.
Dessert would have only cost £1.50 extra per head (unlimited soft drinks £1.50 extra per head) but we gave it a miss because there was still birthday cake to come!
Incredibly good value, good service, and the ipod feature in the private room was an extra special touch. We could dine in privacy to whatever soundtrack we pleased from our ipods. Would definitely recommend for informal parties and gatherings.
This place has won recent awards and recognitions by the media, proudly displayed in the front window and rightly so!
well worth the trek from the station to get there.
I will definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful evening Maida! :)

Mint Leaf
Wow.. my bf took me here last night and I was really impressed!! it is certainly a sexy place to go to! The atmosphere was a perfect balance of ambience and intimacy with a hint of mystery! loved it.
the cocktails were great (try the porn star one), and food was scrumptious. We had the jumbo prawns, potatoe cakes, lentils, lamb curry (this was OK not worth £16) and various other little dishes! The chocolate fondant dessert was to die for!
on the whole very impressed and had a lovely evening! A bit on the pricey side but I think for the whole experience, it's worth it. Hopefully will be back v soon to check out the bar area and more of those delish cocktails!:)

Ark Fish Restaurant
I was impressed on my first visit to The Ark so I was anxious to bring some friends to try it. The portions were generous so most of the party could only manage a main course for lunch.
Although the fish was especially fresh and tasty, the chips let the fish down! They seemed to be the kind out of the bag instead of from freshly cut potatoes, and secondly, they weren't cooked enough, so they weren't crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
For the price, I would expect perfect chips, as well as perfect fish.
The mushy peas are great and the staff are lovely.
I'd probably give it one more chance.

My vegan friend from New York was visiting and I had the responsibility of finding us somewhere decent to dine!
In all honesty, I was simply dreading an experience that was not only vegetarian, but vegan!!
HOWEVER, i was SO pleasantly surprised and impressed by the standard and tastiness of all 3 courses and i had to eat some humble pie that night, as well as a banana and walnut cake to die for AND pancake with vanilla icecream and cholocate sauce -- all incredibly vegan-friendly!!
wow!! may even convert after this experience!! :)
ps; if you go, you must order the pasta with wild mushrooms and cashew cream -- it's on another level!!

Regarding the previous review, I thought it a little harsh in all fairness. I ate at Browns last night with a companion and it was a really nice atmosphere in there. The waitor was extremely helpful and friendly and the place was absolutely packed with people enjoying the dining experience.
I think the food is tasty and satisfying, although of course not comparable to le gavroche or mr. ramsey, but you get what you pay for!
I had the rump of lamb which was succulent and hit the spot, my friend had her regular favourite the guiness steak pie which also gained a thumbs up.
We shared a sticky toffee pudding which was just delightful and a brilliant sweet way to finish off the meal which was not rushed at all despite being busy.
So many people come back time and time again to Browns for the food, cocktails and excellent service - methinks that the previous reviewer may have been just a little bit fussy!
2 main courses, 1 dessert and 2 LARGE glasses of red wine for £35 - I don't think that's unfair by any standards!

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

This design features a common symbol for weddings and anniversaries: a bell. One Irish wedding tradition has the bride and groom ring a bell at the wedding ceremony, then afterward keep it close at hand in their new household. Wedding guests would often ring small bells too, to "ring" the couple out of the church building. Throughout their married life, whenever the couple argued, they should retrieve the wedding bell and ring it in order to remind them of their solemn wedding vows.

- Peel the red liner off the back of your bell, and center it on the parchment paper on your card. Press to adhere firmly. Peel the red liner off the shape, and begin to embellish. Follow the main lines of the stamp first, then fill in as you like.
- When you are done embellishing, press all threads down using your leftover red liner. Then place your card into a shallow tray or ziploc bag and pour beadlets over the tape surface. Swirl to cover fully and tap to remove excess beads.

|Re: [general] Sun will take GPL License?
|Thu, 09 Nov 2006 12:28:53 GMT
It's somewhat of a no-op, IMO. Sun had a very difficult decision to make wrt licensing. They had quite a few competing forces to deal with such as : 1) How to try maintain whatever 'control' over compatibility they currently have. (I do think this is just them "fighting the last war", as I do believe the market wants compatible Java and nothing else.) 2) How to try and keep the licensing revenue for the class library for those (like IBM) that get the classlibrary under commercial terms that allow proprietary implementations 3) How to build as many bridges to the open source community as they can So my theory has been that Sun's business goal was to build a "walled garden" for it's users, customers and ISV partners. I'm pretty sure that like with Glassfish and OpenSolaris, Sun will require that contributors grant Sun joint copyright for any contribution, allowing Sun to relicense (read "sell") the codebase under terms favorable to proprietary implementations. I think that this aspect will prevent participation both from organizations that wouldn't want to have to purchase their contributions back from Sun as well as Free Software advocates that don't want to write software for proprietary implementations. It will be interesting to see how it works out. geir Leo Li wrote: > Is it a good news for Harmony? > > On 11/9/06, Andrew Zhang <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: >> >> >> http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/breakingnews.jhtml;?articleId=193600331 >> >> >> -- >> Best regards, >> Andrew Zhang >> >> > >

Has anyone tried getting one of these photobooks made, basically you can put your pictures and text together and get it printed as a book. Might be a good way of keeping all observations for a year or several years together and in an easily accessible place on the bookcase.
I am a slight enthusiast for this at the moment as I have only just had one done and not got the hardcopy back yet, see:
It was quite easy to do, just drag whatever pictures you want onto the page and add text (or not if you don't want text). I think its possible to automatically get this kind of thing done from some online photo sites too. Perhaps a 'nice to have' for ispot at some time in the future.
Note there are several different companies that make photobooks so if you are thinking about it don't only look at the particular company I used. Also check the type of binding, stitched type may last a lot longer than just glue.
Your book is superb, thank you for sharing it.

10 February 2011 - 10:45am miked
Just took a few evenings to do. Now I'm thinking of all the things I missed out and want to add and its still not arrived yet. I am guessing that its printed in USA and shipped over here, current estimate is 15 feb. Just have to be patient. As I mentioned I sent it off as the software they supplied to do it started doing a few odd things such as inserting random pages, changing page order and crashed once or twice so was frightened of loosing everything i'd done so far.
Actually I suspect that if I had just kept an eye on the software then it would not have lost the whole project since I did back it up regularly. An alternative option would be to use a standard page layout bit of software which would hopefully not have these issues but then it can be a bit more tricky to convert the pages to something the photo book companies can deal with.
hardcopy now arrived and
16 February 2011 - 9:24am miked
hardcopy now arrived and looks good, especially the cover photo and largish size (33cmx28cm). Printing looks good on the heavy weight paper, colour balance seems accurate and brightness of images generally correct. Other books of this kind from other manufacturers I have seen have somewhat washed out images with colour balance that is not quite correct.
The text itself is rather large, could not easily judge what size of text or font would look best until you see the hardcopy. Also the image captions don't work particularly well next to the images on the side as they vanish into the binding, the words are still all there but just have to flatten out the pages a bit to see them. Would have been better below the images.

On 26 April the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) handed down its landmark judgment against Charles Taylor. The court found Taylor guilty of aiding and abetting and planning crimes against humanity and war crimes during the brutal Sierra Leonean civil war.
The case demonstrates that those who commit the most serious of international crimes can and will be held to account. It demonstrates that international justice is patient and its reach is long. And it demonstrates to Taylor's many victims that impunity can and will be challenged. Yesterday, the SCSL sentenced Taylor to 50 years' imprisonment. He is likely to serve this sentence in a British prison.
Some will criticise our decision to stand by our commitment to imprison Taylor in these difficult economic times. But it is vitally important that we do just that. Honouring our commitment is a clear indication of our support for justice, for the process and the principle. Our commitment to international justice means that we too must share in the responsibility of imprisoning those found guilty. And in this case, our decision is a reflection of our deep-seated connection and commitment to post-conflict Sierra Leone.
In West Africa, where the scars of Taylor's crimes are healing, the judgment has been welcomed as the final step in securing justice following the SCSL's inception in 2002; a symbolic watershed between the past and a more prosperous and peaceful future. In Monrovia and Freetown, the people and their governments can now move on, building on the Special Court's legacy. Both governments can refocus attention on economic growth, improving social justice and, in Sierra Leone's case, preparations for the presidential election in November.
Over the past year, we have seen countless examples that demonstrate why leaders must be held to account for their actions, and why we need to invest in the institutions to do that. Beyond the SCSL the Government's support for international criminal justice is exemplified by our strong support for the International Criminal Court, which, in its 10th anniversary year, is regarded as a cornerstone of international criminal justice.
The ICC delivered its first verdict in March – convicting the Congolese militia leader, Thomas Lubanga, of war crimes. Last year it handled the UN Security Council's referral of the situation in Libya with speed and efficiency. This referral showed just how relevant the ICC is and demonstrated what can be achieved when the international community acts together swiftly and determinedly. We will continue to challenge impunity and to shine the light of accountability in all areas which it has not yet reached.
We send a message to the leaders of those countries who believe themselves immune from prosecution for criminal acts like those that took place in Houla, Syria, last weekend: we will not turn a blind eye. We will continue to challenge impunity and hold those, like Charles Taylor, who commit the most serious of international crimes to account.

Observational gallimaufry
Observation One: NDAs make for boring journals
I originally planned to start this journal to record, y'know, game development and such. So last night I was thinking about why I have yet to actually post much about, y'know, me developing games. Today it finally dawned on me: I never post anything here, because all of the interesting stuff I work in is covered by a few really tight NDAs.
I really don't know why that never occurred to me before, but now it has. I'll see if I can pull some strings and get some NDA-slack to talk about some of the less sensitive programming and other work that I do.
Observation Two: The "Helldesk" is Aptly Named
So the tech support/IT/helpdesk guy is off this week for maternity leave (just to clarify, his wife actually had the baby, not him). That leaves me as the only person in the office who isn't management and is here often enough to answer the phones. To their (somewhat marginal) credit, the management does answer a few calls while I go and stretch my lunch hour out as much as I can, but it's still mainly my curse to bear.
Observation Three: Office politics are The Suck
This is only annoying because helldesk duty tends to fall to me pretty much all the time for various reasons these days, and I'm already under a lot of fire for being "behind" on my current project. Now, for some perspective, my project team consists of me. The schedule was written up in ten minutes on a whiteboard by the management - without consulting me. So in essence I've got a set of totally random dates and a bunch of deliverables that are due on each of those dates. Suffice it to say that the schedule is in no way possible, and I get to hear about it. A lot. I've attempted repeatedly to explain that the schedule was too incredibly arbitrary and contrived to even be remotely meaningful, and that in light of the major rewrite that I'd been telling the management I needed to do for the last four months, the final deadline really should have been about six weeks later than it was. Apparently this is "understood" but not really processed by said management, as we have yet to actually revise the schedule in any way. I'm currently working on tasks for an interim "beta" release that was due four days ago.
Or at least, I would be if I could get a solid ten minutes without having to answer the phone.
Observation Four: The C2.com wiki is hazardous to your health
About the only thing that's kept me sane is idly browsing the C2.com wiki while listening to inane questions. Unfortunately there's just far too much good stuff on there, and naturally I'd much rather read it than explain for the dozenth time to someone what a serial number is for.
Observation Five: Knowledge organization and retrieval is an unsolved problem
The Wiki concept is really cool, but it lacks something that I personally wish for on a daily basis: a reliable, high-level overview. I'm a sucker for hierarchies and trees and nested lists and all that good stuff, and Wiki is not really designed for that. I'm sure that some kind of metadata engine could be tacked on to make the Wiki thing much more accessible at a high level, but somehow I suspect that wouldn't work nicely.
The keywords concept is nice if you know the right keywords. If you don't, you get NamelessConcept syndrome, which is a pain in the posterior.
And of course the existing hierarchical trees of knowledge organization just plain suck (witness exhibit A, the Yahoo Directory).
I'm thinking there has to be a better way, but I can't think too much about what it might be, because I have to think about explaining serial numbers.
Observation Six: Sleep is weird (redux)
My sleeping patterns are now totally borked. I'm fine during most of the daylight hours, but I seem to be on some kind of aharmonic, chaotic pattern where I'll randomly either be wide awake all night or fall asleep at 7 PM. Sometimes both will occur in a single night. It's very surreal but kind of entertaining at the same time.
Observation Seven: "Redux" is a weird word
There's something about that word which bugs me. At one time I took a half-serious oath never to use it in conversation or writing, but I'm a soulless bastard so I just did. Twice.
I'm gonna burn for sure.
Observation Eight: I HATE SERIAL NUMBERS
In case it wasn't already plain.
Observation Nine: Programming expands your vocabulary
Case in point: I learned the word "gallimaufry" from Dan Appleman. I think I still have his Guide to the Windows API for Visual Basic Programmers laying around someplace.
Observation Ten: I've made a lot of dumb observations here
That one should be self-explanatory. The writing of this collection of inanity has been continually interrupted by additional opportunities to explain serial numbers. Again.
Observation Eleven: I write long and primarily pointless journal entries
Again, self-explanatory. Are you bored yet?

The options for online learning are expanding as the number of online students increases. In the fall semester of 2009 more than five million college and university students took at least one online course. This finding from the Sloan Consortium's 2010 Class Differences report was an increase from the previous year. While Campus Technology reports a possible decline in this growth pattern, market researchers from Ambient Insight forecast 25 million students enrolled in online courses by 2015. Not all of these students are, or will be, enrolled at strictly online universities.
In response to decreasing operating budgets and increasing student demand, many traditional schools are branching out to offer online courses as well as completely online programs. Online courses can both attract a new group of students to traditional schools and help alleviate costs associated with maintaining physical campus facilities. Today's higher education students, even many that live on campus, appreciate the convenience and flexibility of online courses that allow them to accommodate work schedules, family commitments, and additional activities.
Exploring New Options
What can you expect from a traditional-online experience? Explore some of the options now available, ranging from community colleges and state university systems to private schools and Ivy League institutions.
- Rio Salado College, part of the Maricopa Community College District in Arizona, is not new to online learning, but continues to enhance its offerings. With over 20 online certificate and degree options, Rio Salado is also part of the College Choices for Adults consortium – a voluntary group that monitors quality through student learning outcomes and assurance reviews.
- California Virtual Campus serves as a central hub to "provide complete, timely, and accurate information about online courses and programs in California higher education." This project allows students to search for online courses offered at institutions across the state and also provides distance education-related resources and support to both students and faculty.
- The University of California-Davis is just one school in the University of California system that will benefit from a grant awarded by The Next Generation Learning Challenges Program. Six new online courses are planned for UC Davis by the end of 2012. Other schools in the system will be adding online courses as well. This initiative hopes to improve the student experience in a number of ways that include making more sections of highly demanded courses available, offering requested courses more frequently, and reducing class size in large courses.
- The University of Washington recently announced plans to add to the current list of online courses through a new initiative that will not only add undergraduate level classes, but also work to reduce costs and improve efficiency. With this initiative 50 new undergraduate courses will be offered over the next two years. The University's continuing education department already offers 41 graduate level degrees and certificates online. An interesting component of this initiative is that it will not replace traditional courses with online versions, and instead will offer students both face-to-face and online options.
- The Pennsylvania State World Campus is also not new to distance education and has offered online courses for over 10 years. The most recent addition to a long list of online programs is a master's degree focusing on teacher leadership. Penn State strives to provide all students, no matter how their courses are delivered, with equivalent learning experiences and access to support services.
- Old Dominion University Distance Learning programs have graduated more than 3500 students in a combination of online programs and 46 satellite locations in Arizona, Washington, and Virginia. Explore their "How It Works" page for more information as well as self-assessments related to readiness for online learning and related technology needs.
- Harvard University is now offering online courses through its Harvard University Extension School. More than 150 semester-based courses are available in asynchronous (recorded video) and synchronous (live web-conference) formats. You can view several sample lectures online. Harvard also offers free, non-credit options through the Open Learning Initiative.
This is just a small sample of the online courses and programs currently offered by traditional institutions. If you are interested in taking online classes, but like the idea of having support services available nearby, contact your local colleges and universities to find out about their programs and future plans for online offerings.
Potential Implications for Online Students and Online Programs
- If the demand for online education continues to grow, additional options will become available across all types of higher education institutions – for-profit/not-for-profit and online/traditional – and prospective students will have more choices.
- Employers' opinions of online degrees are improving and may continue to do so as traditional colleges offer online degrees. Employers' views of online degrees are often related to the reputations of the schools that granted the degrees. Online degrees from traditional schools with established reputations may be a good option for students who need the flexibility of online schedules and location, but work in fields where degrees from prestigious schools are highly valued.
- Greater competition for available students is possible. How will online and traditional schools offering online options market similar programs? The desire to attract qualified students may result in new incentives, initiatives, and available services.
- An increased focus on the effectiveness of the learning experience takes the emphasis away from delivery mode. We are moving toward a place where you can make comparisons across a wider range of similar programs. No matter how a course or degree is delivered – face-to-face or online – it is important to focus on quality of the educational opportunity provided. A recent article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution captures this well, stating that while "online degrees are not all equal … programs that are well-designed, cost-effective and fill a workplace need will meet a ready demand."
Making Choices
While the number of online learning options may be increasing, that doesn't mean they will be right for everyone. There are pros and cons to online delivery and learners must approach this environment with a clear understanding of not only what will be expected of them, but also what they can expect from the institution. Prospective students, and traditional students considering online courses, should take the time required to assess their own readiness and choose a program best suited to their education and career goals.

Thread: Apex Speed Tech tuning the Singer Porsche motor on an engine dyno + Why engine dynos are important
Apex Speed Tech tuning the Singer Porsche motor on an engine dyno + Why engine dynos are important
Many of you probably do not know yet that Apex Speed Technology does the tuning for the Singer Porsches. We'll let them tell you the story in their own words:
Last week Tim and I went to Cosworth in Torrance, CA to setup and being tuning on the Singer Vehicle Design Porsche 911 motor, using Pectel Engine Management. It was a great project, and we got to work with a lot of really smart people. These days chassis dynos are so common people seem to forget the value of a proper engine dyno. Last week was a good reminder.
Chassis dynos have always been much better tuning tools than they are for fine power measurement. I find it entertaining when people make evaluations based on small changes in chassis dyno reported horsepower. Here are several of their shortcomings:
- Theres a whole power delivery system between the flywheel and the driven wheels that absorb energy at different rates. These include transmissions, differentials, tires and clutch components. They all have different amounts of drag at different loads and RPMs, and they all heat up and cool separately.
- Its harder to control the environment. Chassis dynos offer mathematical corrections for air density, but that cant effect how coolers reject heat, etc.
- You generally dont control for humidity. Water displaces air, period.
- You cant always run as consistently as you want. Good dyno installations have closed-loop water and oil temperature control so this doesnt play a factor.
- You cant always control the throttle as accurately on a chassis dyno.
- You cant hit all the load sites you want.
- They are less safe, and engine failures can hurt the entire driveline or even chassis.
One great thing about this project is the brain power involved. Everyone had their expertise and the group gelled incredibly well. Our team consisted of:
- Maz Fawaz, our fearless leader from Singer Vehicle Design, who stayed calm and made sure we were properly fed and watered.
- Eric Hsu from Cosworth, our dyno operator and an excellent tuner in his own right.
- Tim Gergorio, the General Manager at Singer whos also responsible for a lot of the mechanical parts that go into this.
- Tim Whitteridge from Apex, who handled the entire electronics system design and wiring harness build.
- Jae Lee from Mirage International, expert on all things air-cooled Porsche.
- Lyon Kaplansky from Cosworth, the Indycar & F1 veteran engine builder whos contribution in terms of technical experience and knowledge is immeasurable.
- Tyler Hara from Cosworth, helping with dyno setup duties.
Its not often you get to work with a team as good as this. Special thanks to Ken Anderson and Jeremy Sundt from Cosworth for making this happen, and Rob Dickinson from Singer for his vision.

Very interesting article, thanks!
In the bullet-list of "who did what" - of all the people mentioned, it doesn't mention who actually tunes the Singer Porsches. Was it Tim W.?
By "tunes" I mean the individual who is responsible for identifying and specifying the engine-management coding for the appropriate fuel and timing maps, WOT and part-throttle, optimizes lambda values, etc. The software side... not the hardware side. Who did that?

So I'm the boss and responsible for all things tuning at Apex. But we couldn't do our jobs at the level we work at without the experience and background of the engine builders we work with, the dyno operator and our wiring guys. So to answer your question, the team above, including myself, are all partially responsible for the tuning. I get input from the whole team based on the data we gather as to what might be the best direction for fuel, timing, intake manifold phasing, etc. I use my experience to guide them and the results we get are superior and more efficient than any one of us could do alone.
At Apex, there are 3 of us currently that do some degree of dyno work, but we share experiences through detailed reports, meetings and collaboration. We are continually sharing info on new features, updating our base maps and improving our knowledge of systems by sharing our experiences from each project. We interact with engine builders & car owners before, during and after the tuning session to make sure goals are met. This way we can guarantee a more thorough and consistent tune than most "tuners."Neel Vasavada

By Brenda Huettner (@bphuettner)
The design of information can make a big difference in how effective your information delivery will be, particularly in today's multi-platform world. At this year's summit, our Design and Testing track has some really fun and unique perspectives on how design informs technical communication, and how tech comm can in turn improve design. For a great start, be sure to check out opening keynote speaker David Rose's talk "The New Vanguard for Business: Connectivity, Design, and the Internet of Things." An instructor and researcher at the MIT Media Lab, David will explain how we will all be designing experiences, not just creating new technologies.
Throughout the rest of the Summit, we've got talks that expand on this theme, taking you from the very beginning of the process (like Leah Guren's Help Begins with the GUI: TC Meets R&D) through improving older, "finished" documentation (with Neil Perlin's Preparing Legacy Help Projects for Responsive Design). There will be fun, light-hearted takes (From Fred Flintstone to George Jetson: Creating Tension In Training Increases Adoption from Viqui Dill) as well as more serious research-based presentations like Kirk St. Amant's discussion of The Attention-Comprehension Gap: An Integrated Approach to Usability Testing and Design.
And that brings me to the second part of this track: testing. It really isn't enough to just create information and throw it out there, we also need to make sure that our output meets our audience's needs. Ideally, this will occur throughout the development process. Pamela Noreault will be talking with us about incorporating the Customer Experience into our tech comm strategy from the very beginning (Customer Experience (CX) – Come Join the Party). Yu-Quan Chiu will show us how he incorporated a focus on user testing and usability considerations throughout a project in An Extreme User-Centric Approach to Kiosk Writing. But even if your projects are out in the wild already, you can still learn some valuable testing techniques from Dave Bachman and Mandy Morgan's session on how to Use Usability Testing to Enhance Your Documentation with Feedback.
Don't forget to check the full schedule for additional topics and speakers. See you in Anaheim! #stc16

Meanwhile in Topeka, the Gorillas followed suit as they were swept by Washburn. The Pitt State men lost 67-51 while the women lost their 3rd straight 58-44.
In Division 1 hoops, the Jayhawks' 18-game win streak came to an end with an 85-80 loss at home to Oklahoma State. It's the Cowboys first time winning in Phog Allen since 1989. It's also the first Kansas loss at home since January 2011.
Their rival and 18th ranked Kansas State managed to hold off a late push from Oklahoma on the road to win 52-50. In the SEC, 17th ranked Missouri handled business at home against Auburn 91-77.

not the longest or most accurate but extremely forgiving and very east to hit.... better players will definitely opt for something stronger....
This hybrid is unbelievable. I purchased the 2H pretty much to replace my drive since i cannot hit that straight consistently, and my first two rounds i was out-driving my friends off the tee. Straight and long!
I recently traded in 3 Adams Tight Lies hybrids (2, 4 & 5) for 3 Adams Red hybrids (2, 4 & 5). I've always loved Adams hybrids. The Reds are all of that………. They are longer and more forgiving than the Tight Lies. I have to get used to the difference in distance, but that's not a bad thing. A solid and very well made hybrid. I guess TM put their finger prints on them.
Great iron replacement type hybrid, if you are looking for a hybrid that isn't a hook machine check this club out.
I've only had it at the range a couple of times but have been blown away by this club. Long and straight and I love the feel. I haven't tried moving the weight around but don't think I'll need to. I bought the 20* and am really considering the 18*. The club was rated "Very Good" but looked almost brand new. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I desperately want to gang bang my wife she is so sexy and wild in bed but has reservations about being with two or more men at once. Every day I m********* to the thought of her sucking multiple c**** at once and being f***** while she sucks my c***. She knows I'm really into gang bangs and have even done a few in the past she will watch gang bang p*** with me and let me f*** her. I want so bad to shove my d*** in my wife's wet p**** after she has came a few times and has a few loads of c** dripping out of her p****. The thought of her being taken in every hole at once just gets me hard and I have to pull out my c*** and beat off. When I j******* right before I c** I close my eyes and imagine I'm j********** on her face at the same time with a few other guys. I also love to pretend or imagine there are other guys around her while I f*** her like she is the center of a gang bang. I am trying to get her to start with a three way and hope that after two cooks at once she will want three c**** and maybe four.

I also have the same fantasy. want to be g********* by seven well endowed guys.
Go for it, you both will love it. My wife and I are both s** addicts. We have weekend orgys sometimes about a 8-10 couples come over we all get naked and f*** all kinds of ways the whole week end I love watching my wife being f***** by 3 guys at once. then I eat her p**** while she sucks my d*** and another guy f**** her in the ass.
I did my wife from behind while she sucked 2 other guys. Also for 2nd round watched then drill her with one of us on each side touching her. Then when they were done she had me lick her clean before finishing off inside of her. This was really hot! Can't wait to da it again, but wife has to be in just the right mood.
That is so horney
The only way it will work is for her to want it and dream about it as much as you. We were lucky because my wife had a wicked crush on a couple of younger guys at her work, and we were able to set up a very discreet evening with her, me, and two of her co-workers. They were also single young aroused guys who were totally into it and her. (trust me - she's got a great body) I can tell you after she finally relaxed, I have never seen her enjoy her self so intensely. I did a lot of watching, but it was absolutely amazing watching her go completely wild.
Sadly you can lose her someday to another guy if you keep this up.
I let my wife f*** my best friend who is much more well endowed than I am. I looked up to and respected my best friend and told him he could have his way with my wife, the only condtion was that I got to watch. Everyone was fine with it we started out find me just watching then me watching and jerking off. After awhile I couldn't satisfy my wife anymore she left me for my best friend who is now no longer my best friend who is with my now ex wife. Maybe you'll get what you hope for. Hopefully you're prepared to live with the consequences. Real life and fantasy are two seperate things.
Just go for it, it's fun!
Sounds like someone doesn't respect his wife all that much.
Sounds like someone doesn't respect HIMSELF all that much.
Keep it as a fantasy. No emotions in a fantasy. I tried bringing other people in my wife and my bed and it was awful.

Sepracor Inc., Marlborough, MA
PURPOSE: Examine the long-term safety of levalbuterol (LEV) HFA administered via metered dose inhaler (MDI) in patients with stable asthma.
METHODS: Mild-to-moderate asthmatics (mean FEV1 2.2L, 68.3% predicted) ≥12 years participated in a multicenter, parallel group, open-label study. After a 7-day QID single-blind placebo HFA MDI run-in, patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to equivalent doses of (R)-albuterol in LEV MDI (90 μg; 2 actuations of 45 μg (R)-albuterol; n=496) or racemic albuterol (RAC) MDI (180 μg; 2 actuations of 90 μg (R)-albuterol and 90 μg (S)-albuterol; n=250) for up to 52 weeks of QID dosing. The primary endpoint was the incidence of post-randomization adverse events (AEs). Asthma attacks, laboratory evaluations, electrocardiograms, and the % change in FEV1 from visit predose were also assessed.
RESULTS: The incidence of AEs was similar for LEV (72.0%) and RAC (76.8%). Rates of β2-mediated AEs were 18.8% and 25.6%, respectively. The incidence of serious AEs (3.6% and 5.2%, respectively) and discontinuations due to AEs (9.1% and 9.6%, respectively) were also similar. No deaths occurred. Rates of asthma AEs were 18.3% and 19.6%, respectively, and rates of asthma attacks were 16.3% and 18.4%. Small mean changes in potassium occurred in both groups (LEV: post-first dose −0.03 mEq/L, at 52 weeks −0.02 mEq/L; RAC: post-first dose −0.05 mEq/L; at 52 weeks −0.06 mEq/L). No statistically significant differences were noted at 52 weeks for changes in ventricular heart rate or QTc-F. Mean % changes in FEV1 one hour post-first dose were 18.1% and 16.3% for LEV and RAC, respectively; and 12.7% and 11.6% at week 52, respectively.
CONCLUSION: In this trial, LEV MDI administered as 90 μg QID for up to 52 weeks was generally well-tolerated.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Long-term treatment (up to one year) with LEV HFA MDI is well tolerated in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, suggesting that it may be an appropriate treatment now available for use in the management of reversible airways obstruction.
