Motherboard upgrade!!??
hi there, i am new to this board and have a first question:I saw 1 of my friend's newly set up PC and i wanna upgrade mine too. I love to play ego shooters like crysis. I just got new good headphones last month. Now i am just looking for motherboard with good audio quality? worth to pay for the price that will last long even for so much usage of PC? and energy saving? Help please? im torn between asrock and biostar?
or any other idea?
I've never had any luck with ASRock, but I've never used a Biostar board either. It looks like both companies have stepped up its game in order to keep up with the big players, but they still fall short between ASUS, GIGABYTE and MSI.
If you can scrounge up the extra dough for one of these three, I think you'll be much happier.
I'd definitely suggest ASRock over Biostar! The processor depends on your budget range, but you'll be wanting to invest most of the system cost into your GPU if you're a gamer!
Thank you for your input, guys!
may i ask whats better with Asrock? I dont really see their advantage. The big brands seem to have good quality of course but i always feel shabby paying the high price for a brand name. thats why i would prefer to go with the underdogs ;)
Anyway, what GPU would be a good match? I am using my good old AMD A6-5400.
I was jus talking to the owner of a computer store nearby and asked him about the choice. He told me both brands would be just fine, but asrock is highly focused on low cost motherboards, although the quality is quite good for the price.
I also found some reviews, but they didnt really help me so much at all :D
Anyway, there was a Hi Fi A55S3 from biostar on stock, so he recommended me to simply try it. Thats why i am using it right now and first round of crysis was really good with it ;)
Thanks for your help and thoughts, guys!!
Can you give any reasons for that opinion?
I am wondering because there are many reviews for asrock but only little for biostar on the web. One that i found was this: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Biostar/Hi-Fi_A85W/
Also there are some Z77 reviews out there, but still, asrock is much more present here. So based on the popularity i would certainly pick an asrock board here, but i could not find out a lot about there audio quality. I understand asrock is a low cost brand from asus, so i am not sure what asus changes to make them less pricey.... anyway, they are heavy focused on overclocking, which is not my priority.
On the other hand i see biostar as separate manufacturer that does not do a lot of marketing at all. So i could imagine they are running as underdog below the radar with a weaker brand (if you can call it like that)
For some reason i will give biostar the chance. The price is comparable and i like their feature set on audio and quality. My sennheiser will teach me if i am right :D
Refering to the GPU: Do you have any suggestion for a good value for money?
Sorry, rodrigo... you had a couple of replies in the moderation queue. I've verified your account so that won't happen again :S
Unfortunately, we haven't reviewed any ASRock or BIOSTAR here, but should do so in the near-future. I've heard great things about ASRock though and typically meh things about BIOSTAR (mostly about their short life before problems occur).
So, the thing is... onboard audio isn't stellar, and if you have a good pair of headphones, you should notice the difference. You might want to invest in a small Xonar card (around the $40) range if you do happen to get a mobo and don't love the sound. Typically, onboard audio changes little up until you get into expensive motherboards that feature special chips (like GIGABYTE with its Xfi, or ASUS with its onboard RoG solution).
Sorry again for the moderation issue!
Hey Man! 2 of my colleagues are using this Biostar motherboard but im not sure which type of motherboard they are. so far 1 was saying its pretty cool to use well optimize as they say, audio is really the main focus. I just dont know how really good this kind of motherboard as they are quite new in the market.
Generally you can check out the nearest market so you can see it for yourself and hear their advice from your Motherboard preferences. Funny thing with this Biostar is they are always out of stock from some market, but for you can have it online order if it so,but then again I can say ASrock so far have gone far and it works well on my side.
250-300 bucks! more or less that could be a good price range.
@ Rob Williams: sounds great. i will also have a look at the xonar sound card. maybe i can add it later if I am not satisfied at all?
i did not get any of the components yet. Due to lack of time the project got stuck at the moment, so there is plenty of time to browse around and compare. Honestly i feel the options are unlimited. Anyway, biostar is the only manufacturer focusing exclusively on audio features. Or does anybody know something comparable?
also, the A55 seems to be quite outdated now. I just found updates to the products websites. now they have even more Hi Fi 3D motherboards with A85 listed....

Good Stone Alternative?
Does anyone have some experience with all those new types of 'stone' out there? I'm considering something like Easyrock or Nextstone because they're lightweight and I get some bonus rvalue out of them, but I'm just concerned with the look. There's a few other companies that do similar stuff, so I figured someone here may have used such a product before and can give me advice! I want to cover up my aging parging and I would love a stone look, but I think it would be way too pricey to do such a thing in natural or cultured stone...
I'll provide a few links if that's ok, so that you know what I am referring to:
I live in Canada, so we get some pretty harsh weather here too. So please, if you have any opinions or experience it will help me out!
It looks like fake crap to me, but I don't work for them like you do.
Wow, you're helpful! I know it doesn't look quite up to par with the real deal, but for what I want it for I think it would do the trick. You obviously haven't any experience with it, so why are you even responding?
Any NON TROLLS want to respond?

I am often amused by lack of self respect one has to have to put themselves out there, on a daily basis, to be riduculed and bascially hated by at least 90% of the others on this forum. To go around like a puppy dog in heat, in attempt to get anyone to respond to the third grade dribble, has got to mean only one of two things. One, the individual is simply lonely and unemployed, probably fired from some civil service job. Or, the individual is just beyond any type of help, filled with hatred for his fellow man because, unlike them, she has no real purpose in life, is living off the fat of government handouts and wishes she could be as smart as anyone else posting on this forum. I am going with a combo-platter here and say, it is probably both. The incessent babbling, attempting to ware you down with constant cut and paste, actually thinking she is making some point or some level of sense is really a sad situation. I propose we all take pity on this poor down trodden individual and try to be nice to her, for at least one post on Monday. This in honor of the 50th Aniversary of John Glenn's first orbital flight. I think Trolls, who is the one of the only people who can communicate with her, keep track!!
Thank you to all for your kind consideration of the poor SKANK!

Open Office: over 50% of companies use it
|Written by Redazione MG News
"The more that the pain could fasting" said the Count Ugolino in his Divine Comedy.
"More than the doubts, could cut the budget" - they say the computer more and more decisively the Veneto are adopting open source Open Office suite.
In fact, according to a survey conducted on the premises of the Club Bit of Unindustria Treviso, now more than 50% of companies adopted a package of office productivity that goes into direct competition with Microsoft Office.
The main reason is obviously that you save the cost of licenses, which mean for companies with 100 or more employees tens of thousands per year.
It 'also true that by now have mostly been allayed the concerns relating to Open Office and that the problems were mainly technical assistance. Many companies are now able to care about the package. Anyway, companies can also easily make do with the strength of supporting documentation, and specific groups online.
Among other significant results of the survey: 63% in the company adopts open source operating systems, the most notable of which is definitely Linux.

Oh Dear ... Taylor Swift Is Being Sued Over Her Lucky 13 Clothing Line
Taylor Swift is facing a hefty lawsuit by the owner of another "Lucky 13" clothing line.
A man by the name of Robert Kloetzly, whose company is also ironically called "Lucky 13," is claiming that the country-pop star is confusing consumers with her same-name brand.
The suit goes on to claim that Swift is stealing away customers from his business, and collecting profits that he could be making with his own company.
It also makes a claim that Swift's music video "I Knew You Were Trouble," showcases clothing that WOULD be produced by HIS company on the guys she's surrounded by. (Their logo includes a skull-themed, rebel design, which you can see in the video below)
If Swift loses this case, she could be in for a very heavy fine. However, I'm not putting any money on the other guy winning, when Swift has been so popular in the music industry. Not to forget that she'd probably be able to settle without a financial fear.
Watch the video below for more details.

Pull Over, Please
As American citizens, and therefore privileged, spoiled jerks, most of us have never been harassed or heavily questioned at a border security checkpoint. The closest we've ever gotten to that kind of tomfoolery is watching Children of Men and realizing, oh, man, that would suck to be treated like total crap. Well, all that is about to change: Installation artist Dadara of The Netherlands is bringing those nasty border-security issues all the way to Dallas so we can experience them firsthand! His interactive exhibit Checkpoint Dreamyourtopia is a fantasy world where visitors need immigration forms (and presumably nerves of steel) to cross the border between reality and their dreams. Already a big hit at Burning Man 2008, the event will be at Dallas' own Centraltrak, 800 Exposition Ave., on Saturday. According to his Web site at dadara.nl, Dadara feels that many people around the world are still hoping for the American dream, but "it is becoming more and more impossible to achieve because of increasingly fierce border controls, visa regulations, etc." Of course, entering his dream checkpoint won't be quite as intimidating as the real thing, given that it looks like a big, pink skull and crossbones. But you get the idea. For more information, call 214-824-9302 or go to utdallas.edu/centraltrak.

Day three of the fruit and vegetable challenge - will I try the lettuce soup?
December 11, 2013 , 4:03 PM by Celine Foenander
Dinner for two turned out pretty good despite the tight budget - $7 for roasted chicken pieces, roasted potatoes and pumpkin and a kind of ratatouille I whipped up with tomato, zucchini and mushrooms. There's even a bit of leftover chicken I could eat tonight or do something with.
Again, it's all about playing your cards right. There'll be some of you scoffing that you could do it cheaper. Props to you if that's the case.
My dinner guest asked, as dinner guests do, whether she could bring anything.... wine, dessert?
"Bring a green capsicum," I blurted.
I haven't seen a capsicum in days. It was like reconnecting with an old friend and it set the ratatouille off beautifully.
And not a scrap of food wasted. We ate 'til out bellies were full and as I said, leftovers too.
Usually I'd have overcooked. Too many vegies, some fancy side dish – none of it needed.
Out of my budget of $40 I reckon I've got about $8 left and the world is my oyster (if I could afford them) from here.
I've got options, options, options.
Today my wonderful producer Brett shouted me lunch. I had a Chinese beef stir-fry so meat and veg all in one. And I saved money thanks to his generosity.
I don't really want a big dinner. I could do something with the leftover chicken or I could do something with the leftover sausages from the other night or I could try Wilma Prentice's lettuce soup.
I kid you not.
Wilma is a listener from West Gippsland and has been following the food challenge with interest.
She scouted around her recipes for something cheap and easy and reckons this lettuce soup will do the trick.
This is no ordinary lettuce soup. Wilma says she had it at a fancy-pants do and loved it. It's almost like a Spring vegetable soup – a cream of green vegetables soup with the key ingredients being a few lettuce leaves, some parsley and peas.
Anyway, I'm not giving away the recipe until I try it – it might blow the budget for tonight, but I could get a couple of meals out of it, if it tastes any good.
If it doesn't, I'm off to Wilma's for dinner for the next few nights.
Today I heard from Kate, another fruit and veg challenge participant who has been taking a long hard look at her grocery bills.
She's never really paid attention to how much she spends on fruits and vegetables until now and she estimates it's about $40 and that usually includes feeding friends who drop around.
But Kate made a really good point.
People with cars have the luxury of shopping around and buying in bulk, but how do you get a sack of spuds, a whole pumpkin or big bags of fruit home if you've got limited transport or you have to walk?
Good thinking Kate.
It's one of the issues being tackled by researcher Julia McCarten, who organised a food forum in the Latrobe Valley last week which highlighted the cost of fresh fruit and vegetables as a barrier to healthy eating.
Anyway, it doesn't sound like Kate has an issue with healthy eating.
Have a look at this yummy recipe she's sharing with us. It's a dhal not unlike the one I grew up on thanks to my Sri Lankan heritage. My mum's is just a little bit different but dhal is one of those dishes you can play around with. Kate added some kumera and chopped red and green capsicum to hers.
My mum sometimes cooks hers with a leftover ham bone – usually after Christmas and it gives it a nice smoky flavour.
You can have it with rice and a curry, or on its own with rice or flatbread.
Have a try:
200g red lentils
2 cloves garlic
1 hot chilli (omit if you want)
1 thumb-size piece of ginger
½ bunch coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
Soak lentils in cold water for 5 minutes. While they're soaking chop the garlic, ginger and chilli and combine in a small bowl.
Chop the coriander and set aside to stir in and garnish at the end.
Drain the lentils and place in a heavy-based saucepan with 3 cups of water, the garlic, ginger and chilli, a pinch of salt and the turmeric.
Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and cook for 20-30 minutes stirring from time to time to prevent it from sticking.
When the lentils are soft, remove from heat, cool for a few minutes and stir in some of the coriander while using the rest as a garnish.
Tomorrow with much fanfare...the lettuce soup recipe.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Cubs snap eight-game losing streak
Travis Wood outpitched Clayton Kershaw in a matchup of All-Star lefties, and Dioner Navarro and Starlin Castro had run-scoring singles to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Dodgers 3-2 Tuesday night, snapping an eight-game skid against first-place Los Angeles.
After losing 6-2 against Zack Greinke in the series opener, the Cubs caught Kershaw on a decidedly off-night for the ace who came in with a major league-leading 1.72 ERA. Kershaw's streak of 18 scoreless innings, dating to Aug. 17, ended in the third when the Cubs took a 1-0 lead.
CARDINALS 6, REDS 1: Joe Kelly tossed six strong innings, and Matt Holliday drove in a run for a seventh straight game, lifting St. Louis over Cincinnati.
St. Louis has won six of its last seven, including the first two games of this three-game set.
The first-place Cardinals have won eight of their last 10 against the third-place Reds and lead them by 4 ? games in the NL Central.
Shin-soo Choo homered for Cincinnati, which lost for the fourth time in five games.
Kelly (6-3), who allowed one run on nine hits, improved to 6-0 in nine starts since rejoining the starting rotation on July 6.
Mat Latos (13-5), who gave up four runs on nine hits over six innings. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.
METS 5, PHILLIES 0: Jonathon Niese pitched a three-hitter and had a three-run double, helping the Mets end a five-game losing streak.
Niese struck out five and walked one in his second career shutout in 112 major league starts. He retired 17 straight batters and scored the first run by running through third base coach Tim Teufel's late stop sign.
DIAMONDBACKS 10, PADRES 9: Aaron Hill lined a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning to give Arizona the victory.
With Hill at-bat and runners on second and third, the Padres employed a five-man infield. Hill lined a shot over the head of left fielder Yonder Alonzo for his eighth career game-ending hit.
San Diego dropped to 7-6 in extra innings.
NATIONALS 2, MARLINS 1: Ross Ohlendorf pitched into the sixth inning, Ian Desmond had three hits, and Washington beat Miami.
Ohlendorf (3-0) pitched five innings of two-hit ball before Christian Yelich led off the sixth with his second homer, ending the starter's outing.
It was Ohlendorf's second start since he was sidelined by right shoulder inflammation.
GIANTS 5, ROCKIES 3: Hunter Pence and Pablo Sandoval hit back-to-back homers, and Yusmeiro Petit won his first game in four years, helping San Francisco beat Colorado.
Pence and Sandoval went deep in the opening inning, marking the first time all season the Giants have hit back-to-back homers.
Brandon Belt had four singles and scored twice for San Francisco, which won for the third time in four games.
RED SOX 13, ORIOLES 2: Shane Victorino homered twice and drove in a career-high seven runs to lead Boston to a win over Baltimore.
Felix Doubront pitched 6 2-3 innings of four-hit ball for the AL East-leading Red Sox.
Victorino also had a two-run double in the seventh, and Dustin Pedroia had three hits for the Red Sox.
ANGELS 6, RAYS 5: Erick Aybar drove in four runs and Los Angeles rallied from a four-run deficit to get the win.
Aybar hit a two-run double off closer Fernando Rodney (5-4) to put the Angels up 6-5 in the ninth.
Jose Molina had three hits and three RBIs for Tampa Bay, which has lost three in a row. The Rays are 2? games behind AL East-leading Boston.
YANKEES 7, BLUE JAYS 1: Alfonso Soriano hit two home runs, Andy Pettitte pitched seven shutout innings, and New York beat Toronto after losing Robinson Cano in the first inning.
Alex Rodriguez and Mark Reynolds also homered for the Yankees, who won for the 13th time in 15 meetings with the Blue Jays this season.
Cano sustained a bruised left hand after being struck by a pitch from left-hander J.A. Happ (3-4). X-rays were negative, and the Yankees said Cano is day to day.
ATHLETICS 6, TIGERS 3: Brandon Moss hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Justin Verlander, and the Athletics beat the Tigers in a game cut short by rain.
Seth Smith hit a leadoff homer in the sixth, and Oakland had the bases loaded with no one out when the tarp was pulled on the field due to the weather. It was called after an 80-minute delay.
RANGERS 4, MARINERS 3: Ian Kinsler scored the go-ahead run on Danny Farquar's balk in the 10th inning, handing Texas the victory.
Kinsler started the winning rally with one-out single against Farquar (0-2) for his fourth hit. Kinsler advanced on Adrian Beltre's single, and then swiped third. After A.J. Pierzynski fouled out, home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor called a balk on Farquar with Alex Rios at the plate, allowing Kinsler to come home.
ROYALS 6, TWINS 1: James Shields was sharp for 7 1-3 innings, Alex Gordon had three RBIs and Kansas City scored five runs in the eighth inning. Shields struck out seven and notched his American-League best 22nd quality start.
Kevin Correia struck out a season-high seven over seven shutout innings, but ended up with a no-decision. Brian Dozier had the Twins' RBI.
WHITE SOX 4, ASTROS 3: Jordan Danks hit a clutch two-run single in Chicago's three-run eighth inning, leading the White Sox to the victory.
Danks finished with a career-high three hits as the White Sox won for the ninth time in 11 games. Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Avisail Garcia had two hits apiece.

"I am a Mississippi State guy all the way. This will work out eventually. I just have to get over it. I don't feel this way for me totally, it's for my coaches. Can you imagine me having to watch my coaches - Tommy (Raffo), Russ (McNickle), Wade (Hedges) and Greg (Drye) - this week packing up their offices and having to leave, turn their keys in?
"I said to myself you can almost see tears in their eyes, you can see their wives crying. And what did they do wrong? What did they do wrong?
"Tommy has been here 19 years - an All-American player here and a coach here with Pat (McMahon) and me. We've gone to post-season play for 21 straight years, except for this year, but I'm not going to get into the injuries. He's been part of championships. He was groomed by me, mentored by me and Pat. He could have had opportunities to go elsewhere, but this is his home, this is his school where he graduated from. He even met his wife Paula here.
"Then a guy (Greg Byrne) comes in who has only been here one and a half years who didn't have an athletic director background and makes the hire. But Greg was consistent - he did a nation-wise search, he waited until the end of the season, and he wanted to make sure it was done right. My hope and my prayers were always that he would say at the end that he did a nation-wide search and a found the guy right here at Mississippi State - Tommy Raffo. I was hoping he would say, 'I was very impressed with Tommy Raffo and I recommend him.'
"The same thing happened in Georgia. I stayed there two years. And (current Georgia head baseball coach) Dave Perno was with me those two years. I went to (Georgia AD) Vince Dooley and told him that his man was right here. He said, 'I have to do the nation-wide search.' And he did. He brought a couple (of potential coaches) in, but it didn't work out. So, he finally said because of my recommendation he was going to hire Perno despite Dave being so young. Since then, Dave has been to the College World Series three times.
"When John Cohen left Kentucky, the head assistant coach got hired immediately. Larry Hayes, my good friend from Texas Tech, just retired and his assistant coach got hired. I asked him how that happened. He said he went in and told the AD the assistant coach is ready. He told him, 'ok, he's been here long enough so he's it.'
"We had people call, fax and email (in support of Tommy), maybe too many. Many of the (current) players went in and their parents emailed. So, I thought it might happened. Then, Buck Showalter told me he had been contacted. Pat Casey had also been contacted. Steve Smith had been contacted. But Greg told me he was going to do (the nation-wide search).
"Then, I heard that John (Cohen) was a strong candidate and that he was interested. So, I called John and told him to please, please don't take it. I told him, 'you have a job that pays you well. It may be colder than it is here at Mississippi State. And it may not have as many people in the stands. But please, please, as your former coach and your friend, do not take your job.' I told him, 'I understand and you understand that if you don't take it someone else might. But here's the problem, if you come here it's going to hurt Tommy bad. And he probably won't want to stay, as the other coaches won't due to their loyalty to Tommy. So, four coaches are out of a job.'
"I wanted Tommy to have the job partly due to wanting to help him with alumni relations, the sky suite plan, alumni baseball weekend. Not to help him on the field. I was going to build my own office at my own expense next door to the current baseball offices. Although I wouldn't be around much due to all the traveling I will do, it would be a place where I could put all my stuff on the walls, etc. I told John (if he's hired) that's probably not going to happen.
"I received a call from Tommy while I was in Athens and I could tell he was (feeling) down. He said he had talked to Greg Byrne and he had indicated that they were going in a different direction. I asked him if it was John, and Tommy said he didn't say.
"Then, I was talking to Steve Smith, one of our former coaches, he said he was being texted by one of our former managers, Bo McKinnis, who is an agent now, saying that Gary Henderson is going to be announced as the new baseball coach at Kentucky. I knew then.
"I called John on his cell phone, even though I knew it was after the fact, and told him, 'I still love you, but I don't like what you did.' I say that same thing to my players often. If they miss a class, are late for practice, I say that to them, but I still love them. It's like arguing with an umpire, the next day it's over with. That's why I think this is going to solve itself eventually once I get past the hurt. It's all going to work out. I just have to have some time.
"So, then I get the calls from the press. And I lashed out at Greg. A lot of people who called, who are in coaching circles, told me the longer it lasts, the less likely it's going to happen. I got to thinking if it's not going to happen, surely Greg would call me and bring Tommy in in March, April, or May and tell him they are going in a different direction. He interviewed Tommy for two and a half hours and I'm sure he was impressed with him, as anybody is. But he didn't hire Tommy, so now he's out of a job."
I guess it's like you see John and Tommy as sons of yours. One son went off and became a successful head coach while the other son stayed with you for 19 years.
"Yes. If I had known then what I know now, I would have encouraged Tommy to go off and be a head coach somewhere and have success and be a candidate."
Don't you think you pushed Greg Byrne too hard trying to get the job for Tommy?
"Well, we had a lot of people call to make sure it happened. That was the thing. It would have been easy for (Greg) to say nobody called, nobody emailed, the players didn't go in and visit. Then, all of sudden Tommy doesn't get the job, and Greg says he didn't hear enough good things from enough people. I didn't know what the happy median was."
Do you feel that you overreacted when you talked to the media right after John was hired?
"Yeah, I did. I'm not going to take my name off the stadium. The will, I don't know, but it's not like I'm willing 50 million dollars. But I'm hurt, I'm hurting bad for my coaches.
"Loyalty is very important to me. Unfortunately, I'm too loyal. I'm loyal to a fault with the college baseball coaches, kids and programs in this country. And because of that, I fought for them, one of the few that did. I'm loyal to Mississippi State. Our kids have never done anything wrong, other than a few mischievous things. Our academic standards are much higher than others. We had good kids. We won some games, lost some games in a tough league."
What do you think of John Cohen as a coach?
"John Cohen is a great coach. He is a good person. He will do a good job. The players will have to make an adjustment because it's a different style of coaching, but it will be fun for them."
If you can get past the hurt you feel about Tommy not being hired, can you understand why Greg wanted to hire a coach like John Cohen, a guy who has been a successful head coach at two different programs, one of which is in the SEC?
"I'm kind of happy that he hired someone in our family rather than someone outside of the family. But I was hoping Greg, who has been here for just a year and a half and had never been an AD, would trust a guy who has been here 31 years."
What are your immediate plans?
"Helping my coaches find other jobs is my first responsibility.
"I have had some calls from various coaches asking me if I am still interested in coaching. I told him, 'I don't know. I don't want to be a head coach anywhere in the NCAA because I'll have to deal with the quotas.' I may be willing to be a volunteer coach because I don't need the money. I'll keep my home here and my land in Browning Creek, maybe go somewhere for a year or two, help someone as a volunteer coach. It's not to slap in the face of Mississippi State, it's more to give me something to do and get over this hurt."
Any last words?
"Tell your readers this - when I went to Georgia (as their head coach), I kept my home here, I kept my land here. I told Vince Dooley when I came there to help them that I would be there three to five year then I was coming back home to Starkville. This is home and it will always be my home. John Cohen is one of former boys. I like him like a son, just like I like Tommy like a son.
"Will I support John Cohen? Sure I will. It's just a matter of getting through this hurt that I feel. It will pass in due time. And I will visit with John in due time. I just have to decide if I'm going to go off and be a volunteer coach somewhere. I'm going to be 65 years old, so I won't be gone for long. I'll come back here because it's my home."

The Bangladesh Accord has paved the way for future positive initiatives, in more than just the field of workers' rights, by demonstrating that it's possible to have a large number of companies working together within a legally-binding framework.
The level of transparency required by the Accord sets a new precedent and has set the bar for companies' future reporting. Over two hundred companies have signed the Bangladeshi Accord on Fire and Factory Safety.

Well my human has finally gotten around to updating this page! A lot has happened in the last few years. Mum continues to be super busy...even more so now that she's studying for her applied psych diploma full time and working full time as well.
We moved to Salt Spring Island for a while. I liked chasing deer with my new older brother Frank. We got into lots of mischief! But now we're back in Vancouver again.
The Mum has 4 birds now. Two lovebirds that STILL insist on hitching rides with me, a Quaker parrot and an Amazon parrot. Meh...I don't care about the birds so much.
Life is good and at 10 years old I'm still healthy and active.
That's all for now folks :0)
Peace out!
WOW!!! Back one day and already Loomis and Gordon have included me in a game of tag!!!
Here's how it works:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post the rules of the game and 7 pawsome facts about themselves in their diary. Then once you are tagged, you choose 7 dogs to tag, listing their names in your diary. Don't forget to bark your friends pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary for the rules -- or better yet, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been tagged!
My 7 things about me.
1) I love to carry toilette paper back from the store for Mum.
2) I have selective hearing.
3) I've learned how to spell "car", "ball", "beach", "walk", "dinner", "dog" and "Frodo".
4) I don't like anyone to watch me poo.
5) I love Mum's new hippie love den (furniture is waaaaaay more accessible).
6) I don't like getting my feet wet in puddles, and I hate the rain, but I love to swim.
7) I live for the scratching of my butt by human slaves.
I am TAGGING:
My Sweety Wingnut
my new pal Bear
and Daisy
Sorry if I've double tagged anyone!
Cheers kids!
I just wanted to say a quick thankyou to all of my pals who have sent me stars and rosettes while I've been away. Due to some issues that some of my pals are aware of, my Mum isn't able to spend much time updating my page but she's gonna try once in a while!
I miss you all and love ya tons!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/8/2014 (1049 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A pair of offenders, who were lousy when it came to lying to police, have received jail sentences.
In the first case, a man caught out past his court-ordered curfew gave officers the wrong name and wrong birth date to put them on the wrong trail.
Unfortunately for him, he stumbled when it came to doing the math and couldn't tell police his correct age based on the false birth date.
"It doesn't sound like he was very convincing to police officers when he's shouting out three different ages that he might be," defence lawyer Ryan Fawcett said.
Jeffrey Joel Gouldhawke pleaded guilty on Monday to public mischief and breach of his bail curfew.
On Aug. 1, around 9:15 p.m., Gouldhawke another man and a woman were acting suspiciously in the parking lot of a downtown hotel.
Police suspicions were heightened when they drove by the trio and heard the woman exclaim, "S---, it's the cops!"
Gouldhawke panicked and gave police his father's name instead of his own and a date of birth of Feb. 27, 1989.
"He stated he was, 'Twenty-seven, 24, no 25!'" Crown attorney Grant Hughes said.
Police detained Gouldhawke, who then gave them his correct name, and his true identity was checked with computer records and the force's digital mugshot system.
Police learned Gouldhawke was on a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. bail curfew and supposed to be living in Swan River.
Judge Shauna Hewitt-Michta sentenced him to a total of 45 days minus 17 days time-and-a-half credit for pre-sentence custody.
In the second case, Charlene Dana Stanley was a passenger in a car on May 10 as it travelled over the Eighth Street Bridge. Officers stopped the car because the bridge was closed and roadblocked at the time because it had previously been damaged by a collision.
Stanley offered police her correct birth date but a different name. She supplied a middle name but couldn't spell it, then told police she had no ID and had to leave to go to the bathroom.
Even though an officer recognized Stanley and confronted her with her true identity, she insisted she was her twin sister and officers had made a mistake.
Her identity was confirmed by photos of her tattoos from police records, and it was learned she was in breach of a bail order by drinking.
Stanley has frequently been caught breaching court orders lately.
On the early morning of May 10, 2013, she was caught in breach of a court order by drinking alcohol and being in possession of a cellphone.
On Aug. 2, 2013, she was caught in breach of her bail by being out past her curfew. And, Stanley admitted to court that she violated a conditional sentence order on Aug. 3, 2014, by taking crystal meth.
That conditional sentence order was terminated on Monday, with more than seven months left to serve. That remaining jail term will be followed by two more months for the various other breaches.

Trying to navigate to "Configure general search settings and see indexing status" or to edit main search option in Drupal 6 yields an out of memory error. And this site is fairly robust memory-wise with over 120 megs of RAM dedicated.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1048576 bytes) in /sites/all/modules/search_by_page/search_by_page.module on line 117
It looks like I cannot use Search By Page unless I up my RAM. How much RAM is required?

Well, I personally have never had much success running a Drupal 6 or 7 site with Views, CCK, and other modules (along with maybe Search by Page) with less than about 256M allocated as the PHP memory limit. Drupal is pretty memory intensive.
I don't think Search by Page itself is probably using up a huge amount of memory -- it's probably just the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" -- in other words, you were probably pretty close to the memory limit on your site before you enabled Search by Page, and SBP kicked you over the limit.
Comment #3jhodgdon CreditAttribution: jhodgdon commented
You are misinterpreting the error message. When your memory size is X, the error message will report "Allowed memory size of X is exhausted" at the moment when the extra memory is needed. It doesn't tell you the total amount that it needs to complete the operation.
That said, the configuration page does use some significant memory when it tries to figure out the indexing status. That could probably be fixed in the module; however, during cron runs the full operation (the one that the configuration page is currently doing) will need to be done, so if you cannot access the admin page the way it is currently set up, you probably wouldn't have enough memory for the cron runs either if I changed the code so that the full operation was only done on the cron run and not the configuration page.
So... probably your site has a lot of content that would have to be indexed and maybe Search by Page will not be the best choice? For a large site, you probably need Solr.

Yes, that would do it! Sorry for not thinking of that in comment #1. Glad it is cleared up for you.

Family Sues Hospital for Violating Do Not Resuscitate Order
All too often, families have to bring lawsuits against hospitals that let their loved ones die through malpractice or neglect.
In Florida, the equation has been turned on its head by a woman suing a hospital and nursing home after medics performed traumatic and invasive lifesaving procedures on her mother in specific violation of a do not resuscitate order.
Alzheimer's sufferer Marjorie Mangiaruca, 91, was given CPR, subjected to other interventions and put on a ventilator after she had a heart attack in 2011, despite her stated and official desire to die naturally when the time came.
"Decedent suffered an artificially prolonged death which was repugnant to her values and wishes regarding how she wanted to die," the suit states. "Decedent was forced to endure violent and painful medical interventions, including having her lip busted, having a hole cut in her throat, receiving paralyzing drugs, having tubes inserted into her throat and her stomach, and having air forced into her lungs."
Mangiaruca's daughter, Sharon Hallada, had medical power of attorney and signed the do not resuscitate order when her mother was initially admitted to the hospital for an infection. In the event that she stopped breathing or her heart stopped working, the DNR was supposed to prevent doctors from trying to bring her back. Somehow, the order was not transferred to the nursing home that Mangiaruca was sent to, nor did the home inquire about any advanced directives, according to the lawsuit. When her heart attack came, EMTs tried to revive her on the way back to the hospital, where she was put on life support systems.
As a bonus slap in the face, after Hallada had to actively make the choice to end life support and let her unresponsive mother pass away, the hospital stuck her with the bill for the unwanted procedures. With nowhere else to find recourse, she filed a lawsuit against the hospital and nursing home for negligence, emotional distress and other counts. End-of-life rights group Compassion and Choices has also joined the suit.
Estimates put the chances of CPR successfully reviving a very old patient at five to 10 percent or less, with potential for peripheral damage from broken ribs, pneumonia, organ lacerations and more. Patients who do regain consciousness still might not live for long once breathing and feeding tubes are removed after an extended trauma, with potential for brain damage from lack of oxygen to boot.
For many people, the risk is worth it for the chance at a few more months or years of life. However, people who decide in advance that they don't want to spend their last moments having their chests pounded on and tubes shoved down their throats have a right that their wishes be respected. The right is codified in law in the federal 1990 Patient Self-Determination Act, as well as various state-specific laws.
"I think this is a case that is of public concern," says Jeffrey S. Badgley, the attorney for the plaintiff in the Mangiaruca suit. "It's something that we're all going to have to be dealing with as our parents go in the direction that Sharon's parents went."
"Unfortunately, I don't think health care institutions are where they need to be on this issue," says Badgley, who is the founder of the Orlando-based Badgley Law Group. "There may be more lawsuits like this one as time goes on."
Inertia and money, Badgley notes, are among the factors that conspire to prevent people from being granted their end-of-life rights. "For several years now the Florida statutes have made special provisions to put in writing decisions made regarding end of life health care. Unfortunately I think it takes a long time for institutions to respond to these innovations in law and medicine," he says. "Another factor is the enormous pressure on the health care industry these days to generate a profit. It's not in their best interest to withhold medical care."
Doctors may also be reluctant by virtue of their profession to not try every possible intervention in order to preserve a life, even those that come at high cost and buy scant time. "I think it's very difficult for hospitals and health care facilities to pay attention to this important right," Badgley says. "Don't treat me. Don't perform a procedure on me. Let me die."

We met with her three times to go over every little detail of the wedding and she even went to our venue to make sure she would get all the details set up perfect. Our venue had a piano and we wanted someone to play. She found someone for us at reasonable cost and even bundled everything into her contract for us! I couldn't say enough great things about DJ Ali!!! She's WONDERFUL!!!"
The Imperial Room
"I wouldn't recommend this caterer to anyone! I hired them to work off site at my venue as a full service caterer. I was promised the world and I didn't get it! For starters, I was told that they would bring all my decorations to the venue and then one week before the wedding I was scrambling for a truck and someone to help me bring everything there! Then the day of the wedding the owner was screaming at me and one of the people helping set up that one of the main focal points wasn't a main focal point when. NONE of the tablecloths fit the tables and they were cheap and flimsy, not like you see at their venue or the ones they told me they were bringing. They didn't set up even half of my decorations and my wedding party had to set up the other half. The food was good, not great, the champagne toast was WINE not champagne! I kept getting yelled at through the night that I was putting them behind and I was running late. A worker of theirs kept stopping me and asking me questions and even asked me if she could have some of my centerpieces. At the end of the night, they made me and my bridal party stay to help clean up even though I had already arranged it so that we wouldn't need to. Of course, after being told I wouldn't need to worry about bringing my decorations to and fro, I needed to arrange to pick them up as well. I found out afterwards that they never even attempted to refill any of the candy at the candy bar either! Hundreds of dollars of candy, wasted!!! Then we found out we were robbed! They immediately blamed my guests!!! Why would the people who ALL gave us money and gifts rob us?! These people were terrible!! Do NOT hire these people!!!"
McKenna's Florist
"Our flowers for the wedding came out very beautiful. My only complaint was that the mothers all had wrist corsages when they were supposed to have pin on's,"
Abigails Jewel Box
"The owners of this store are nice. My husband wanted a ring specially made and no other chain store would even help him. Although his ring came close, it wasn't exactly what he wanted. A week into wearing it and one of the gems were already loose though. The owner was also supposed to give two gems to us in the cost of the ring in case they broke and he still hasn't which is really making us angry. He also promised another 'work' ring to my husband for nothing and he hasn't fullfilled that end of the bargain either. My ring came out perfect and I have no complaints on that end. I would give this store more stars if they didn't leave us with open ended promises."
Photo Booth Vendor:
Lightning Sound
"Paul was absolutely wonderful! The photo booth was such a hit at my wedding and everyone loved it! My wedding party bought the booth for me as a gift and didn't know the props were extra. Paul knew I was a bit disappointed so he came into my bridal sweet and told me that they were all taken care of and to have a wonderful day! I was floored by his generosity! After my ceremony he helped me bring my meal over to my table so I wouldn't have any 'mishaps'. At the end of the wedding, before he was going to pack up, he came over and suggested that I get some photo's in with myself and my husband as well as my family members and bridal party. He was so wonderful! I would recommend him to anyone! Everyone at the wedding is still raving about him!!!"
Sweet Perspectives Photography
"Michelle and Christine are AMAZING! I would recommend them for anything! We had our engagement shoot first and Michelle made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast! The photos came out fantastic! Before the wedding Michelle contacted me to find out exactly what I wanted and double and triple checked everything. They both showed up on time and got to work right away! They were both professional and fun to work with! Highly, highly dedicated to what they promise and the photographs are a testament to their hard work and talent!"
Tuxedo Vendor:
"The owner and his sister are worth the visit alone to this shop! You get the one on one attention when you go into a place like this, not handed a book like when you go to Men's Warehouse. It's a unique and hilarious experience."
Wedding Day Beauty Vendor:
"Beware of hidden costs with this vendor! I really liked how my hair and makeup came out, so don't get me wrong but, I am extremely disappointed on how much I ended up spending based on my initial quote. I feel as though I was lied to and I don't like that. I was told and quoted an initial price and I paid that for myself and my girls for hair and makeup. I went in and even paid an arm and a leg to have a mock up done. As I was leaving that day, I was told that gratuity wasn't included in the price quote I was already given over the phone and in person. WHAT! Come on! And to top it off, she never even told me what the gratuity was! I ended up paying over $120 in gratuity PLUS she asked for a tip! Some nerve! My hair and makeup did come out terrific as well as my girls but, the prices are definitely hidden!!!"
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
David's Bridal
"WORST experience EVER! We went here to get our bridesmaids dresses. We made a late appointment at a bridal show to work around everyone's schedule. When I arrived I asked them to pull up the selections I had saved to my account and they said they had already looked and I had none. I had to pull them up on my phone while we walked around and looked for the dresses on the racks. While the girls tried on dresses I had nowhere to sit. After three dresses they had found one they really liked but wanted to try one more. The lady told them they were closing and we shouldn't have made such a late appointment...WHAT!? The girls decided to get the one they had tried on last. When they asked about layaway, which was the only reason we came, they were told the dresses they were looking at were not available for layaway. In the meantime, I had been looking for a new corset tie for my gown and when I looked online, everyone had said to look at DB. They didn't even want to sell me one because I didn't buy my dress there. When they finally agreed to they quoted me one price and when I went to check out it was $90 more! When I went to the store I bought my dress at, they informed me that I would not be able to get it dyed as DB stated I could. My girls ended up getting their alterations at the store where I bought my dress and the store also bought the corset from me and MADE me a new one in the color I wanted. I wouldn't recommend a chain store like this to anyone! Find a small store and support them!"
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
Love Me Two Time
"I Love, Love, LOVE this store! Such amazing service! They helped me from my wedding dress to my shoes! The pricing on alterations can't be beat either! This store is like a hidden gem!"
The Brandford House Mansion at UConn Avery Point Campus1084 Shennecossett Road
Groton, CT 06340
"Working with the Katherine can be difficult at times but other than that this venue is amazing! I would have rated this five stars but I was upset the day of my wedding when there were people walking around taking pictures and one family planning their own wedding while my wedding was being set up. When I asked the staff to please ask them to leave they told me that until 4:00pm other people were allowed to visit the mansion. I was told when I rented the mansion that it was mine all day and this made me very angry. They picked up on this and very quickly began asking people to leave afterwards but, I thought it was rude and interfering nonetheless."

The University
Francis Marion University, founded in 1970, is one of South Carolina's 13 four-year, state-assisted universities. As one of the state's six comprehensive institutions, FMU prides itself on providing a strong liberal arts education.
Named for Revolutionary War hero, General Francis Marion, who was nicknamed the "Swamp Fox" for using the South Carolina terrain to out-fox the British, the university enrolls more than 4,000 students. The university offers a broad range of undergraduate degrees and a select number of graduate programs in serving the needs of communities, businesses and industries of the Pee Dee region. Francis Marion is the only state university serving the Pee Dee region, and many of its students are the first in their families to go to college.
FMU has the look and feel of a small, liberal arts college with all the benefits of a state-assisted comprehensive university. FMU offers an excellent learning environment, small enough to afford students personalized attention from faculty and staff, and large enough to let students expand their intellectual curiosities.
While 95 percent of its students come from South Carolina, the university enrolls students from 32 states and 17 countries, allowing the FMU community to experience the diversity of people from other cultures. The student-faculty ratio is 16 to 1, and the overall class size is 21. The average age of undergraduates is 22, while the average age of graduate students is 36.
All faculty members have advanced degrees, and 79 percent of the full-time faculty hold doctoral or terminal degrees.
Francis Marion University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award bachelor's, master's, and specialty level degrees. The university is approved by the S.C. State Board of Education and is a member of the American Council on Education and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. A number of FMU's individual academic programs have also been accredited by specialized agencies.
Located about six miles east of Florence, the 400-acre campus is known for its beautiful foliage and landscaping. The campus includes 100 acres of mixed pine-hardwood and bottomland forests accessed by a series of trails. Several acres have been set aside as an Arboretum that is being developed into a resource with many of the native species of the area.
The campus features modern classroom buildings, laboratories and residence facilities to provide a safe, comfortable learning environment for students. The campus also features a number of recreational facilities that are available for use by students, faculty, staff and alumni, and for use in intramural and intercollegiate athletic competition.
Most buildings have been constructed or renovated since 1970. Facilities are equipped with ramps, and those of more than one story are equipped with elevators. Though each building has its own unique design, all are planned for architectural harmony.
One of the busiest places on campus is James A. Rogers Library, the largest library in northeastern South Carolina. It is not only an asset to the FMU community, but serves as a valuable resource for individual citizens, business and industry for the entire region. The library holdings include more than 412,000 volumes, 1,100 current subscriptions, 500,000 microforms and access to more than 21,000 full-text journals, more than 30,000 electronic books and 79 electronic databases to access information from almost anywhere.
The Pee Dee Education Center occupies a 10,000-square-foot facility adjacent to the campus. The Pee Dee Education Center is a regional consortium serving 18 area school districts, 70,000 students and 4,500 teachers. FMU works closely with the Pee Dee Education Center and the Pee Dee Math/Science Hub, which also is housed in the new facility, to provide resources and services to school districts in the Pee Dee.
FMU also provides numerous services to the community, region and public at large. Additionally, the university offers technical and professional assistance, industrial and economic development and artistic and cultural enrichment. Many of the cultural arts are sponsored by FMU, making concerts, lectures, plays, art exhibits and film series free to the public.
The FMU Alumni Association numbers more than 18,300, with about 79 percent living in South Carolina and more than half residing in the Pee Dee area. Private support comes from the FMU Foundation which was organized in 1974 to provide a means for soliciting and accepting substantial gifts of money or property to build an endowment fund that promotes the educational mission and welfare of the university.
The Community
Francis Marion University is located just east of the city of Florence in the beautiful northeastern section of South Carolina. Florence is the burgeoning hub of commerce, agriculture and industry for what is known as the Pee Dee region of South Carolina, an eight-county area located between the Piedmont and Coastal regions of South Carolina. Florence offers relaxed Southern living with all the amenities of big city life. Florence is about 90 miles from the state capital of Columbia, 60 miles from the shores of Myrtle Beach, and the mountains of the Carolinas are only three hours drive to the northwest.
Francis Marion University was founded in response to an overwhelming need for a public higher education institution in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. The university was founded in 1970 and named in honor of Revolutionary War hero, General Francis Marion, who was nicknamed the Swamp Fox for using the South Carolina terrain to out-fox the British.
However, the university can trace its history to 1957 when the University of South Carolina established a freshman center at the Florence County Library. In 1961, a permanent campus for USC-Florence was established seven miles east of Florence on land donated by the Wallace family, the current location of FMU. By 1966, enrollment at USC-F had reached 350, and community leaders began a movement to establish a four-year institution to better meet the educational needs of the area. Following a Commission on Higher Education recommendation, Gov. Robert E. McNair signed into law an act creating Francis Marion College, effective July 1, 1970. The institution gained university status in 1992.
The institution has had four presidents: Dr. Walter Douglas Smith (1969 to 1983), Dr. Thomas C. Stanton (1983 to 1994), Dr. Lee A. Vickers (1994 to 1999), and Dr. Luther F. Carter (present).
Admission to the University
Students wanting to further their education are encouraged to apply for admission to FMU. The university seeks qualified students to enter the university as freshmen or transfer students. Freshman admission is based upon high school coursework, grades and SAT or ACT scores. Students wishing to transfer from another college or university should have 22 transferable hours with a 2.0 or higher grade point average. The application to FMU may be found online at http://www.fmarion.edu/fmuadmissions.
Residence Life
FMU offers a modern and progressive residence life program for the student who wishes to live on campus. The addition of new campus housing in fall 2004 enables about 40 percent of the student body to live on campus. Freshmen are typically assigned to traditional residence halls where students live two to a room in a suite arrangement. Sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students may live in the residence halls or choose an apartment. The apartments offer a variety of choices – from one, two or four bedroom units. In the apartments, students have their own bedroom and share living/dining, bath and kitchen facilities. Apartments are furnished with beds, chest-of-drawers, study desks, sofas, chairs, stoves, microwaves and dishwashers. All campus housing is wired for phone, cable television and high-speed Internet access. Students should apply for housing immediately after acceptance to the university.
The FMU intercollegiate athletics program sponsors 12 sports, six each for men and women. The Patriot women's soccer team and the men's golf team both compete as NCAA Division I independents, while the remaining 10 teams compete in the NCAA Division II Peach Belt Conference. FMU continued its streak of having student-athletes compete in NCAA post-season competition every year since the athletic program moved to NCAA affiliation in 1992 by having a pair of squads advance to NCAA post-season play in 2012-13. In its short 43-year history, Francis Marion has captured five national championships in three sports and garnered 52 conference or district titles. The Peach Belt Conference, in only its 24th year of existence, has produced 33 NCAA Division II national champions and 28 national runners-up. The PBC consists of 14 members, with schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. FMU is a two-time recipient of the Commissioner's Cup, signifying the best all-around program in the conference. FMU annually ranks among the conference leaders in the number of student-athletes named to the PBC Presidential (academic) Honor Roll, which requires a 3.0 grade point or B average.
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available in several forms - scholarships, grants-in-aid, loans and part-time employment on campus and off. Eighty-one percent of FMU students receive some form of financial aid, totaling more than $35 million annually. The university makes every effort within limits of available resources to encourage and assist students in securing an education. For more information or to obtain financial aid forms, contact the FMU Office of Financial Assistance, phone 843-661-1190 or visit the website.

The HP Officejet Pro X551dw is the first example of an in-house developed inkjet printer with a page-width head. This may sound unspectacular or just confusing, but it could herald a new class of fast business printers with the colour print quality of inkjets and the speed of lasers.
Most inkjet printers have a print head that passes from side to side across the paper, as the paper is fed forward a strip at a time. This is slow and prone to misalignments from one strip to the next. HP's new Officejet Pro X551dw has a print head that runs the full width of the paper so it can be fed continuously, as with a laser.
Unlike a laser printer, though, it still has the much wider colour gamut of liquid inkjet inks, so its colour quality, on plain or photo paper, is like its cheaper, slower cousins. The technology has been used before in high-end HP EdgeLine production printers and in some commercial kiosk machines, designed to print photos in chemists and photo shops. This is the first time it has been utilised in a general office printer though.
The HP Officejet Pro X551dw is a big, unconventional looking machine. Its 500-sheet main paper tray is positioned to the right of the print engine, though there's also a 50-sheet multi-purpose feed set into the left-hand side. Pages feed out from the right-hand side of the case, near the top, once a small flap has lifted automatically when a print job starts. They feed onto an inclined support which sits above the feed tray, with a gap for an office ornament between the two.
At the top of the machine is a 109mm LCD touchscreen, which controls its functions and provides access to ePrint apps, if you've downloaded any. At the back are USB and 10/100 Ethernet sockets, but a wireless connection is the most flexible connectivity option.
The four ink cartridges, which like the print head are as wide as an A4 sheet, slide in from the front and click into place in what must be the easiest maintenance manoeuvre yet devised. Cartridges are available in standard and high yield, with the high yield version rated at 6,600 for colour and a whopping 9,200 for black.

We always had a sense of adventure and were lured away from England in the late seventies by the sea. We sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean in our 32 foot sailboat. Planning to be away for just one year, we never returned! Working as crew on charter yachts introduced us to the hospitality industry. When our daughter, Susanna, was born in 1986 settling in the beautiful British Virgin Islands, with their easy access to the US was an obvious thing to do. In the mid nineties, we decided to build our villa Summer Heights. Situated on a hillside on the southern shore of Tortola with easy access to all attractions and with awesome views it has proved extremely popular with guests who return year after year. We would love to share our little bit of paradise with you and introduce you to Natures Little Secrets, the hidden gems of the British Virgin Islands.

A Study of a Criminal Type
October 29, 1948,
, Section , Page 29, Column , words
In the workaday world of screen melodrama, "Hollow Triumph," put on the screen of the Globe yesterday by Eagle-Lion Films, is an adequate examination of an intelligent criminal type. There is not quite enough logic in the plot to enable it to stand up under scrutiny, but the story moves along briskly, the performances are sound and there is always the promise of more violence just around the corner.

Boston Flag Flies at Half Staff at New York City Hall
President Obama has ordered all US flags at half staff today in deference to the Boston Marathon bombing. The staff at New York's City Hall took the additional step of lowering the New York City flag and raising the flag for the city of Boston.
Deputy Mayor Howie Wolfson posted the photo on Twitter.
We have lowered the NYC flag from in front of NYC Hall and have raised the Boston flag to half staff in its stead. twitter.com/howiewolf/stat…

For good measure, here is what the flags of New York and Boston look like.

After getting a tremendous response from the viewers director Tigmanshu Dhulia is all set to attempt a sequel of the movie 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster' and will be named as 'Saheb Biwi Aur gangster Returns' according to to one of the actor of the film Deepraj Rana the entire team has planned to shoot the movie from 15th of march. He also mentioned that along with him Jimmy Shergil, Mahie Gill and Irfan Khan will also be playing role in the sequel.
The shooting has been delayed due to incomplete script and thus the shooting will begin from the mid week of March. According to sources Neil Nitin Mukesh was also approached for the movie but he refused to play role as he found nothing interesting in the movie and thus Irfan Khan found a lpace instead of Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Early intervention and treatment program for children who witness violence
The Foundation's Local Initiative Funding Partners Program is a matching grants program designed to establish partnerships between the RWJF and local grant makers in support of innovative, community-based projects that improve health and health care for underserved and vulnerable populations.A new team of trauma responders--available 24 hours, seven days a week--will offer immediate intervention for children who witness violence in their homes. It is significant that this project developed as a request for help from police responding to violence calls, that the Chief of Police has mandated referrals by police to this new service, and they have already begun training them to do so. The Children Who Witness Violence program replicates a promising project in Cleveland and will use the same evaluator. With this opportunity for further improvements, the model may next be ready for wider dissemination.
