Latest update December 18th, 2013 6:20 AM
Dec 16, 2013 Gerald Hampton Data Management, Issue 18 0
Private organizations and governments are proposing that all corporations be assigned a carbon allocation. Under such an allocation plan, exceeding the allocation would result in fines and other penalties. With impending government regulation of carbon emissions, the development of an energy cost and carbon allocation strategy will be essential in minimizing the business and financial impact on an organization. Within an office building, the datacenter will most likely represent the biggest source of carbon emissions and wasted energy.
A logical first step, in order to avoid excessive energy expense, is to learn how to measure the datacenter's carbon footprint. Three key variables – datacenter location, IT load and electrical efficiency – impact datacenter power consumption the most and are the drivers for the development of datacenter energy consumption measurement tools.
First key variable: Location
A geographical location that experiences extreme temperatures and humidity levels will consume more energy as the datacenter physical infrastructure systems (e.g., power and cooling systems) work harder to maintain consistent, moderate temperature and humidity levels.
The local source of power generation will also have a major impact on a datacenter's carbon footprint. In France, for example, most of utility generated power comes from nuclear energy. A datacenter in France would have a much lower carbon footprint, from a daily operations perspective, than one located in the Midwestern US. In the case of the US datacenter, the energy source 'mix' may be 60 percent coal, 20 percent oil, 10 percent natural gas and five percent hydro and five percent wind farms. The datacenter in central France would draw 95 percent of its electricity from a nuclear power plant. A nuclear reactor does not emit CO2 while a fossil fuel burning power plant emits significant quantities of CO2.
Second key factor: IT load
IT load reflects how much power the IT equipment in the datacenter consumes. The IT load consists of all of the IT hardware components that make up the IT business architecture: servers, routers, computers, storage devices, telecommunications equipment, as well as the security systems, fire and monitoring systems that protect them. The higher the load, the more power will be required and the higher the carbon footprint.
Third key factor: Electrical efficiency
Datacenter systems have traditionally been oversized in order to build in a fat margin for error in terms of estimating datacenter capacity. Oversizing results in underutilization of equipment that impacts overall datacenter efficiency. Fortunately, new generations of modular scalable IT and physical infrastructure equipment allow for a 'pay as you grow' approach that helps to optimize equipment utilization. Advancements in capacity planning software also allow for much more accurate prediction of datacenter capacities and power consumption.
Measurement tools
Automated measurement tools, such as the APC by Schneider Electric Data Center Carbon Calculator, Efficiency Calculator, Energy Allocation Calculator and Power Sizing Calculator TradeOff Tools (http://tools.apc.com) can be accessed at no cost and can help datacenter professionals understand how they use electricity, and to recognize how changes in efficiency can impact carbon footprint. Although not precise, these tools do provide sufficient accuracy to allow for meaningful analysis of various 'what if' scenarios.
Entering the data into each of the tools requires some knowledge about the particular datacenter's environment (e.g., number of servers, type of cooling systems, power distribution). In some cases, IT staff and facilities staff will work together to gather appropriate input data. Third parties, such as APC by Schneider Electric, can provide assistance by offering datacenter efficiency assessments that can also provide valuable input to the tools.
For more information on carbon allocation and datacenter carbon emissions see APC white papers #66, Estimating a Data Center's Electrical Carbon Footprint and #161, Allocating Data Center Energy Costs and Carbon to IT Users available for review at www.apc.com.

Limbaugh: "[A]ppeasers" have "water[ed] down" definition of torture like "NOW gang" did with definition of domestic violence
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Loading the player reg...
LIMBAUGH: We have allowed -- we have allowed these guys, Obama and his buddies over at the CIA and in Congress, to water down the definition of torture to mean anything that makes a person uncomfortable. You know what this reminds me of? Remember when the NOW gang and all these other social interest groups started asking women if they'd ever been a victim of domestic violence? They didn't like the numbers they got initially. The numbers weren't high enough for the NOW gang. So they expanded the definition to include a man shouting at them. A man shouting at them equaled domestic violence. It didn't matter if the women shouted first. But let's not get sidetracked. The important thing to understand is that these appeasers have painted themselves into a corner. Dick Cheney has now called their bluff. The stark truth is that despite what the political left and the Hollywood elite say, extreme measures, enhanced measures, so-called torture -- whatever you want to call it -- it works. And he's seen the memos. And he wants them released.

This busy little bar is mildly chaotic, and the food (deep-fried macaroni cheese with your chicken, anyone?) is a deliciously unhealthy treat. Grab a seat in the cosier upstairs section if you can and enjoy a pile of free-range fried chicken (a portion of wings £4.50; thighs £6.50), skinny fries and some serious cocktails.
Unit 12 Market Row, Brixton Market, SW9, wishbonebrixton.co.uk.
Spit and Roast
It's worth trailing across town for the wonderful buttermilk fried chicken from this brilliant food truck. The fried chicken bap (£6) is dangerously tasty, especially with the homemade Korean hot sauce and very good slaw. Other goodies may include chicken and sweetcorn chowder and mac 'n' cheese (£3 each). It travels around London as part of the pop-up food market, Kerb, between The Gherkin and Brockley Market, so keep your eye on their Tumblr for their movements.
Rita's Bar and Dining
It was chicken that gave Jackson Boxer the idea to start Rita's. His offering — a fried thigh served in a white roll — is excellent, as is, for the veggies out there, the super-stodgy mac and cheese.
Rita's Bar and Dining is at Birthdays, 33-35 Stoke Newington Rd, N16 8BJ, ritasbaranddining.com.
This is a posher, yuppier Nando's – friendlier staff, more meat on your bones and even more gimmicks than the great house of chicken. Buttermilk fried chicken is served in a crumbly, not-too-greasy batter.
43 Muswell Hill Broadway, N10 3HA, chooks.me.
Another finger lickin' food truck using 'good, honest, British free-range chicken', currently parked up outside The Sun and 13 Cantons in Soho as part of a two-month residency.
The Sun and 13 Cantons, 21 Great Putney St, W1F 9NG, weareroost.com.
The menu changes often, but try to catch the fried chicken (£6), served boneless, like a large nugget but better, with a fresh and zingy salad. The setting is a big, bustling, converted grain store with high ceilings and long tables. Finish with a coffee; the in-house blend is delicious.

European Union
The European Union (EU) engages in security sector reform (SSR) as part of its development cooperation, conflict prevention and crisis management support as well as forming part of EU pre-accession assistance. Efforts to develop a common, coherent and comprehensive approach to SSR began in 2006 with the release of an overarching policy framework for SSR support which brought together instruments across several EU policy areas and bridged the fields of security and development.
All EU Member States are members of the DCAF Foundation Council. DCAF supports the EU from its Headquarters in Geneva, directly in field locations, and also has a DCAF office located in Brussels. DCAF benefits from secondments from EU members while a significant proportion of DCAF's activities are also supported by member states. In relation to the development of the EU's approach to SSR, DCAF has supported a number of EU Presidencies in advancing this agenda.
While the EU concept papers highlight the great deal of progress made, it is acknowledged that this is only the beginning of the EU's efforts to shape its support in this area. To fulfil a key strategic objective of the Centre, DCAF has provided significant support to developing the EU's emerging approach to SSR though policy advice, policy research and operational activities. DCAF continues to receive important EU policy research mandates in our core business of security sector reform. Increasingly prominent in DCAF's cooperation with the EU has been a wide range of operational activities. An approach that seeks to bridge policy and practice enables DCAF to contribute to a holistic EU agenda for SSR. This paper summarises DCAF's EU SSR-related activities to date.
In addition to supporting the EU's SSR activities outside the Union, DCAF also works to strengthen security sector governance (SSG) within the EU. Notably, the Centre has been involved in a number initiatives designed to enhance parliamentary oversight of the EU's own internal security, justice and home affairs agencies, as well as its overseas missions. Key projects have included:
- Elaborating the EU's approach to SSR and supporting a number of EU Presidencies in advancing the SSR agenda though policy advice, policy research and operational activities;
- Conducting policy-relevant research under an EU mandate on Parliamentary Oversight of the Security and Intelligence Agencies in EU Member States, jointly with the European University Institute - Florence.
- Supporting the development of EU guidelines for the regulation of private military and security companies
- Examining and promoting the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security, and related resolutions at the EU level and in EU member states
- Providing DCAF/ISSAT assistance to EU justice reform programmes in Guinea, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Providing DCAF/ISSAT assistance to the Evaluation Unit of the EC's work on justice and security system reform over the period 2010-2011
- Developing a training programme for the EU's border security service (FRONTEX) and the EU assistance mission in Modova and Ukraine (EUBAM)
For more information on DCAF activities with the EU please see the following factsheets (summary) (complete version).

Central banks across the globe have been waging a war against the natural economic ebb and flow. Like any war, it has had many battles. Since 2008, central banks have won every battle. Now their luck is running out.
I do not know how the war will turn out, but last week my model gave a definitive call that central banks are likely to lose this battle.
Economic indicators can be broadly divided into three categories: the lagging indicators, the coincident indicators, and the leading indicators.
The focus of our research at The Arora Report is leading indicators from 23 countries. As the name implies, leading indicators provide an early indication of the direction of an economy. Examples of such indicators are vendor delivery schedules, hours worked in a week, and new construction permits.
Early last year, when the consensus was that the world may enter into a recession, our models based on the leading indicators were forecasting a slower economy, but no recession in the U.S. or Asia, and only a mild recession in Europe. This correct call by our economic models was primarily responsible for generating profits last year.
This time the picture is different. The leading indicators are warning that the probability of a recession has increased.
We do not rely solely on economic indicators for market timing.
At present the following are the key ingredients of our timing model.
1. Aggressiveness of fund flows
2. Leading global economic indicators
3. Commodity price movements
4. Relationship between currencies
5. Risk appetite as demonstrated by the relationship between the price movements of the assets deemed safe vs. assets considered speculative.
6. Price action of the markets at key technical support/resistance levels
7. Price action of the markets as various classical technical patterns become apparent
8. Changes in internals of the markets as the prices push through or fail at key support/resistance levels
The ZYX Global Multi Asset Allocation Model now predicts that the U.S. will enter a mild recession; the recession in Europe will be deeper than the consensus, and Asia will slow down more than generally expected.
Setting aside all the complex math and extensive amount of data we use, it is common sense that the business cycle has not been repeated. As hard as the central bankers may try, they are fighting a natural economic order. There have been 47 recessions in the United States since 1790. The last recession ended in June 2009. After three years of growth, even though the growth has been subpar, for the first time since 2007, I am making a call for a recession.
Of course, all bets are off if central banks decide to throw in a few more trillion dollars to prevent the recession.
Investors can take protective measures by buying puts, by short-selling ETFs such as SPY, +0.14% QQQ, -0.16% and DIA, +0.05% Another way is to go long on volatility through an ETF such as VXX, -1.12%
Gold bugs as well as gold momo crowd complain about the shenanigans of central banks. Unfortunately, concentrating a portfolio in ETFs such as GLD, -0.88% and SLV, -0.72% will not offer much protection if a recession were to materialize.
If a recession were to materialize, it would be great news for long-term investors who prepare now to pick up the bargains.
Disclosure: Subscribers to The Arora Report have a short position in QQQ, a long position in VXX, and an arbitrage position in GLD and SLV.

Hey everyone, so, New Year, new start!

I've been hard at work compiling a whole load of "making of" blog posts for The Hit Squad. It's time to start showing off what has been happening with the movie and revealing what will be happening next with it.

The Hit Squad is definitely not dead! It's alive and well on my computer!

Here's the first of a weekly blog post to tell you about The Hit Squad and what has been happening with it behind the scenes: http://superpixelchris.com/2016/making-a-cartoon-movie-1-new-years-low-resolution/

Oh and for non-believers: here's every scene in its currently edited state, you just gotta squint a bit.

Hello all!

So, where to begin?

Firstly, if you didn't see it a few months back, the newest teaser trailer dropped showing the updated style of the movie, a short sample of the music, the voices and a little sneak into the characters Charles, Frank and Roddy.

Why the wait? Where's The Hit Squad?

There's a dull reality to making indie movies: either release small-scale, digital download, make a couple of dollars and scrabble around trying to make the next project or hold your ground, work to get the best possible cast, release through a proper distributor, earn enough (hopefully) to fund the next project.

Right now, the production process is finished. I'm finalising the cast, aiming high for the best possible voices for the characters. There's long long waits to get a response from the named voice actors, small scale indie projects aren't top of their list and it's difficult to get your voice heard over other projects they get approached for. So that means really long waits to even get the conversations going. But things are moving closer for the final casting for The Hit Squad and hopefully the final cast will be signed and announced soon and then can move straight onto getting the film released and in front of your eyeballs.

Its a painfully boring process right now and feels like its all moving at a snails pace, but there is movement and it will all be worth it and add the finishing touches to an already awesome movie (it is, I promise!).

The Future

While there's a wait, I'm gonna post some blog posts every couple of weeks giving some deeper insights into the production process, the story, and revealing the whole behind the scenes shebang into what it takes to make an animated movie. All of these updates will come through Kickstarter and the mailing list, so make sure you keep an eye out!

Things are moving, thanks for all the messages and your patience! I'll update more very soon!

 So, as you may have read through my last post, production is over and the movie is taking shape into a proper movie-type thingy (a movie). As I've said before, I chose to take this from a quaint little hobby project to something that has filled pretty much every single waking hour for the past year and a half. The more I did, the more I wanted to add to make it better. Now I've gone so far down the rabbit hole I've driven myself into a madness I can't escape. Not really, the movie is nearly done. I've started to piece it together and I'm breathing sighs of relief because scenes work, things fit together the way I envisioned and I even catch myself laughing at jokes I forgot I put in (always a nice surprise).

 As most of you know, I've had to start working back at a full-time job in order to keep a roof over my head, so I'm currently living a dual life like a really shit version of Batman. A Batman with living parents. Who makes films. Outside of the day job I'm starting to push the movie into post-production which is where I start to piece it together and add in the proper cast voices etc...

THE MOVIE

 As I said, it's coming together well. I'm proud of how it looks, sounds and feels. It doesn't look like anything else around, which makes me happy. The pixel style really feels nice to watch in HD, weirdly satisfying. I've kept things pretty simple throughout, but I've made sure the details are in the right places. Ultimately The Hit Squad is about fun, sharp dialogue and storytelling. I want people to sit with a smile on their face for 85 minutes and leave feeling like a kid again. If you can't quote at least one line from the movie then I have failed! :)

 CAST

 Casting is one of the last things I'll be doing for the movie, as it can be overdubbed pretty easily before the final lip sync. I'm in talks with a big potential cast member, someone who is WAY out of The Hit Squads league. I'm being realistic and assuming that they will turn it down, but its flattering to be discussing anything with them. I will be contacting the Kickstarter cameos very soon with their lines to record. And it is very likely there will be an open casting call for one or two parts, so keep a lookout for that!

DISTRIBUTION

For those who don't know, independent film is going through a big transition at the moment, the current model is changing and a new digital-only model (Netflix, iTunes, HULU etc...) is starting to rear its head. There are a few forward thinking distributors out there who work exceptionally well with traditional (cinema) and digital and as I'm starting to edit some scenes, I'm going to start approaching some to discuss how best to get The Hit Squad out there. I'm formulating a plan of action and working hard to get all of my ducks lined up before making a final decision on what will happen for release. But trust me when I say that the cogs are turning and I am talking to people about it.

OTHER STUFF

Crowdfund backers, you will be contacted very soon if you were one of the people who bought their cameos or name in the movie. Also, I'm working out a list of exclusive things that backers will be getting. You'll be getting some very cool stuff.

 A few select press outlets have started to pick up on me making the film and want to run a piece on me, which is fantastic, so I'll keep you updated on that.

 I feel like I really have to apologise for my blog posts as I always write them when I'm tired and I can't really muster up any jokes or witty remarks, so please feel free to insert a good Miley Cyrus joke here [INSERT TWERKING JOKE].

As always everyone, I am working my hardest to make sure that you all get bang for your buck. It's been a long journey and having the support that you've all given me has been amazing.

Hello everyone!

Chris Blundell here, the director of The Hit Squad.

it's been a tough old time during production, lots done, still lots to do, but the end is near! I am starting a crunch period of a month to finish off this last section of production. if you want to know a bit more on that, including more info about release, check my personal blog: http://superpixelchris.com/2013/the-hit-squad-crunch-time/

In the meantime I am releasing a new screenshot for you all to take a look at, head on over to the Facebook page to take a look! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151822081081340&set=a.430880561339.216973.352211156339&type=1&theater

For the backers who are being pixellated in as an extra or have their names in graffiti in the movie, I will be contacting very soon.

Thank you all again for helping make this movie happen! Speak soon!

Missouri Valley College Hall of Fame
Frank Loeffler III came to Missouri Valley College in 1961 and became a leader for the Viking football team. Frank was a three-year member of the Viking football program from 1961-1963, serving as a co-captain his senior season. For his work on the gridiron, Frank was chosen as an all-conference athlete his junior and senior seasons. Following his playing career at Missouri Valley Frank was signed as a free agent to the Buffalo Bills.
Outside of football, Frank was a member of the MVC track and field team and a two-year member of V-Club, serving as vice president his senior year. Frank was also a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and active in intramural sports.
Frank graduated from Missouri Valley College with a degree in economics. After graduation, Frank worked as marketing manager with International Harvester-Overseas Division, director of Maintenance and Transportation operations for the Decatur County board of education and marketing manager for Flint River Mills. Frank retired from the work force in 2006.
Frank says three people influenced him greatly during his time at Missouri Valley. Coach Volney C. Ashford was his mentor and Coach Ashford's guidance helped to define the person he became. He also says former Economics Professor Gerald Sanders devoted a great deal of time in and out of the classroom on his behalf. Frank says observing William "Pop" Ferguson showed him that you can be a kind and caring person and still be successful.

"Good series, have read all 6"
enticing, exciting, integral
I loved the story lines, so close to so much of our own peoples history, struggles, triumphs, and the ongoing fight between good and evil. It never comes by just getting everything handed to the people; character is never developed by living the life of Riley. The characters are well developed and are taken through a series of challenges, experiences, choices and relationships that teach them to grow up and become men and women of good character. The stories give good examples of how character is developed through the challenges and experiences we face in life. I love how the books give indications of gospel truths, principles of truth through out as the fight with good and evil wages and how truth can be twisted and used for evil. Alluding to the growth that comes by learning how to follow the spirit of God, (the medium) and how to discern the spirits that attempt to influence our lives for good and for evil. I was captured by the story lines and the characters.
Loved them all, the good guys and the bad guys, great performance; I was inspired to look into some of her other works, did not care for some of the other stories but I am reading the Mermaids sister. I would look at and peruse anything Jeff has written and Kate has performed.
I am an avid reader, of all kinds of genre, and I will say, I was grateful to read such good stories that let you know the man and woman were going to marry and be intimate, without having to read through or skip the details. I really appreciated the respect and trust the characters develop in their relationships without having to read about their genitals or the sex. I know some people like that kind of thing, and I am not a prude, but I prefer the stories without having to enter into the bed chamber. I would recommend these books to my nephews and nieces for reading as well, I believe they would enjoy them.
Say something about yourself!
"Ok conclusion to trilogy"
A bit of a disappointment after the second book. I really enjoyed the first half of this book. I found the ending a bit forced. Kat Rudd does a good job in the narration. Obviously worth the read if you have read the first two books.
"Super disappointing.."
Series had promise, but failed utterly in the last book. Character development stalled and things just became ridiculously juvenile
"good end to trilogy."
Enjoyed the set.Convenient going back and forth from ebook to audio with the sync function.
Love to read but these old eyes need a break now and then, so I am trying Audible. I can read faster though...
"The Last of the Trilogy"
Kate Rudd's performance was awesome, as usual. She is so good that time just flies by.
Lia in the Lair. Very exciting, an "on the edge of your seat" experience.
She so capable and articulate. I find myself wishing I had a list of her work and then find stories in that list that I might like.
Not really, unlike the others in this series. I was just wanting to get to the end.
"Great story and superb narration"
Great story and superb narration. A rare combination in audiobooks. I've listened to the whole story twice and probably will again sometime.
Her husband comment
"Very pleasantly surprised, recommended for teenagers"
This review is for the whole series of books.
Lia and Martin
I enjoyed this series very much. Many people criticize this book for many things. Christian references, negative against women, and poor writing. I did not find any of these to be true.I am Christian, so it was kind of fun to have the references, but almost all of them are Old Testament references other than the main character. It's just a story, and God in these stories, is a very hands-on God. That is to be expected in a book about magic tho.The Medium (which would be the Holy Spirit) from what I can tell was neither masculine or feminine. But truly, the evil character was feminine. But also, the main character, who was very strong, was feminine too. (So tit for tat no pun intended)I found it to move along nicely, but I would've liked to increase the pacing in the last book. The narration was absolutely perfect. Kate rocks!!!!!!!!!!
I would say that the love story needs to be a little bit more passionate. But to be fair-- because it wasn't so passionate-- I would highly recommend this book to teenagers, because it is so interesting.I did enjoy it so much, so I am definitely going to check out his Kingfountain books. So many writers nowadays love to take you to the bottom and rip out your heart, for shock factor, and maybe clean up the story afterwards so you will finish the book. This author, however, put a nice bow-tie on the end of it. It could easily lead to a whole new series, and he did not go there that I'm aware of.
Writer and illustrator, gardener, cook and mother... A woman with too many hats to name!
"Loved this series"
Jeff Wheeler is a breath of fresh air in my hunt for good fantasy books! I really am such a picky reader... all too often I put books down before the second chapter because of poor writing technique, voice, weak story line or ridiculous over-telling narratives. I found none of this here. Jeff's books were very enjoyable and for once I didn't put a book down in disappointment. I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the style of writing. Very well done!
"Grand Finale!"
After just finishing the Kings Fountain series and falling in love with Jeff Wheeler's writing and characters, I bought this series and was NOT disappointed in the least! The storyline and characters were intriguing. The suspense continued to build and compelled me to listen till well past my bedtime so I could find out how it would end. I am looking forward to the next Muirwood Series, "Covenant of Muirwood".
It was unremarkable. Pleasant bedtime listening but not memorable. There were some very strange accents and not all were easy to understand.
"A fitting end to an amazing trilogy."
The story so immersive, the characters so familiar and real means you live this story from beginning to end. I miss Lia, Pasqua, Soa all of them and am a little less for their loss.

Getting beyond "interesting" : teaching students the vocabulary of appeal… (edition 2012)
by Olga M. Nesi
Work details
Getting Beyond "Interesting" by Olga M. Nesi
No tags.
No current Talk conversations about this book.
When students are asked to write about a book, they need to be able to say something more than the books was just interesting. Nesi presents a method of having students create descriptions, blurbs, and hooks for a fiction book that would entice another reader. Perhphas in the current days of book discussion groups, book trailers, and digital storytelling, this might be a valuable resource, but it only covers the one aspect introducing a book to a group though writing. The book contains a CD with worksheets done in Word format and ready to use, although we found these pretty traditional and directive. In the era of Common Core, informational books, multimedia, Web 2.0, and overall writing skill, we found this book to be very narrow and too focused for today's writing skill and curriculum. We recommend that our readers look elsewhere for a broader approach to writing.
Are you struggling with the concept of how to have students better develop their critique style from just "interesting" to read comments? If so, this book offers many thoughts about how to move students beyond this comment and bring them into the empowering world of critique. Basic, but interesting, especially the glossary, index and appendices. Whether dealing with a beginning reader to a more sophisticated reader, this book offers ideas about how to best present concrete information that will help a future interest develop or not in that particular read. Standards backups to lessons are from the AASL set rather than Common Core, but they can be easily translated to CC if one knows them. Wishing for more technology as ways to disseminate this student generated information. Recommended.

I am looking for
(1) a way to make FortranForm (a) put out Fortran statements that go
from column 7 to column m where m is less that or equal to 72;(b)break
up lengthy expressions into continuation lines numbering from 1 to a
maximum of 19;and (c)provide an option to specify all the real
numbers in the expressions either in the e or the d
(for double precision) format. REDUCE does (a) and (b) quite nicely.
(2) a way to make TeXForm break up lengthy expressions into a

Not Reinventing the Wheel
While Bulldozer and 32 nm processors from AMD will not show up for some time yet, AMD is taking off the wraps of a new revision of the 45 nm Deneb core. The X4 965 was a 140 watt TDP critter, and now it has been tamed to a slightly more manageable 125 watts. Let's see how this affects performance and overclocking!
Clarkdale makes its debut
Intel took some time to preview its upcoming Westmere processors, Clarkdale and Arrandale, during this past week at the Intel Developer Forum. The new CPUs will combine a dual-core Nehalem-based design with on-chip integrated graphics to create a high-performance, low power and low cost CPU for the mainstream PC user. Stop in to see if you will be picking one of these up this winter.
Propus to the Rescue
The latest quad cores are relatively tiny as compared to their older brothers and the competition from Intel. While these are not barn burners when it comes to performance, AMD is hoping that the combination of available performance and budget pricing will prove to be irresistible to users and OEMs alike.
Lynnfield Reaches Retail
Intel's Lynnfield processors have been getting a lot of attention recently but one SKU left out of the parade has been the Core i7-860. Coming in just a bit higher than the Core i5-750, the i7-860 adds support for HyperThreading technology and thus should see noticeable improvements in certain applications. We take the new CPU for a spin in our benchmark suite and judge it on performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar.
2nd Generation Ultra-Portable
The Tigris and "Codename formerly known as Congo" are two new notebook platforms that aim for the mainstream and ultra-portable marketplaces. While we have seen these products before, the combination of tuning and manufacturing changes allows them to fit into the mobile market. The extra boost could give AMD a nice set of weapons to further improve their marketshare in the mobile space.
Lynnfield Architecture
Today Intel is officially releasing the Lynnfield processor that many of us have been waiting for since the release of Nehalem last year. This time around we find better frequency scaling, lower prices and performance that will simply blow you away for the money and power it will cost you to run it. Intel's dominance simply can't be debated anymore.
200 MHz Here, 200 MHz There, Pretty Soon We are Talking Real Performance!
AMD has released another high end processor into the fray, and Intel had better watch out. Sorta. While aimed at the Q9550 and Q9650 parts, the X4 965 is priced at a competitive $245, thereby pushing all of the previous Phenom IIs before it into much more affordable territories. Not all is perfect with this chip, but does its imperfections cause it to fall when facing the competition? Read on...
Lower Price, Better Margins (hopefully)
Recently the first die shot of the upcoming Propus class of processors showed up, and I took a good long look at it to figure out how it will affect AMD's lineup, and if it will be the next big thing in the budget quad core market. From what I have seen, things look surprisingly good...
The Fast and the Faster
Intel has refreshed the Nehalem line of Core i7 CPUs today by introducing the new Core i7-975 EE and Core i7-950 processor. These two new offerings are replacing the Core i7-965 and i7-940 in terms of pricing though they of course bump up the frequency one bin or so. Come in and see how the fastest desktop processor in the world performs!
65 nm? Pah! Time for something different!
It has been several years since AMD released a true desktop dual core processor, and finally they have delivered with the Athlon II X2 250. They have also released a Phenom II based X2 that could be the new darling of budget enthusiasts everywhere. We explore the performance of these new parts, as well as try our hand at overclocking to see where we go. While they might not be world beater's, they certainly give AMD a fighting chance in the dual core market.
Guess we have to bring this up finally
Today a $1.45 billion fine was handed down to Intel for antitrust and anti-competitive practices in the European markets. We take a look at the summary judgment, both Intel's and AMD's initial response and just how the decision might after the consumer.
AM3 Done Right
AMD has finally released their high end AM3 processor, and it certainly does not disappoint. While AM3 does not propel the X4 955 to new heights, there are certainly enough extra features and overclocking headroom to make this a exciting and desirable product.
"I'll be gone til November..."
Last year the industry was expecting Intel to roll out the Nehalem architecture based i5 processors for the mainstream market by the beginning of Summer, 2009. The Computex was thought to be one giant showing of motherboards supporting the upcoming LGA-1156 products, but changes in competition and the rough economic times look to have made Intel shelve its plans to release a new midrange monster.
Intel Talks 32nm Westmere
Intel had a press and analyst meeting today to go over its newest roadmap and the changes it has seen courtesy of the economy and a ramping up of 32nm process technology. We got to see some more specifics on the first CPU with integrated graphics, a six-core Nehalem processor for 2010 and plans for mobility and mainstream markets in 2009.
A surprise CPU review
Intel is finally bringing the low-cost PC world a dual-core version of the wildly popular Atom processor with the Atom 330. The CPU runs at 1.6 GHz and sports a pair of cores that both support HyperThreading for a total of four threads of computing. Will the Atom 330 revolutionize the performance levels of netbooks?
Fleshing Out the Family
AMD is unveiling their AM3 platform today with the launch of the Phenom II X4 810 and the Phenom II X3 720. These sub $200 processors are paving the way for DDR-3 support with AMD processors. While their support for DDR-3 is nice, they still are compatible with AM2+ sockets and DDR-2 support. These two processors help to flesh out AMD's offerings for the budget marketplace, and should allow AMD to transition that much faster to all 45 nm parts.
AMD is unleashing its first 45 nm processor, and while it is a large step in the right direction, AMD still has a tough mountain to climb to compete with Intel and their Core 2 Quad and i7 processors. While the Phenom II is not a world beater, it certainly puts AMD in a much more competitive position.
An Athlon 64 X2 By Any Other Name...
This week AMD released the long awaited Kuma, and while performance is surprisingly competitive with what Intel has in the market, the real story is how this strange little processor came to market.
NVIDIA isn't the only game in town
NVIDIA and the CUDA programming model have been getting all the attention for GPGPU computing recently but AMD wants to fight back with news of its update to the ATI Stream programming model that will include a completely free transcoding application in December.
Introduction to the Nehalem Architecture
Intel's Nehalem-based Core i7 processors have been the discussion of the tech world for over two years as we have tracked their development, the technology inside the architecture and the performance they might bring. No more guessing is required though: the Core i7 CPUs are here and we have all the performance and analysis you need to understand Intel's newest processor technology.

High Tech / Small / Military Grade Anchor Rope Cord Reel - Ideal for Kayaks!
I've finally found the ultimate anchor rope management cord wheel. Anchor rope management is a big problem for me and I have a Ranger Z19 bass boat. I've started fishing more open water, and anchor frequently when I find a hump or other structure that is holding fish. I hate having anchor rope all over the front deck, particularly when I am fishing or burning across the water at high speeds. It's quite dangerous and a big hassle!
I've scoured the Internet looking for a small reel that is durable, and just haven't been able to find anything. About six months ago, I found this company in Australia called Ruslyn that was creating a small cord wheel for military combat engineers, search and rescue, special operations, etc.
This particular reel just came out of beta, and is now patented and being distributed in cases of 24 reels to military organizations. I begged the Ruslyn CEO to sell me one reel, but he wouldn't do it. But I kept begging him...
Finally he agreed to sell me 3 reels, which I received a few days ago. These things are awesome!
I know most guys in the forum will think the price is outrageous - $40 per reel + shipping. But for me it's well worth the money.
So I'm going to keep 2 of the reels (one for backup or other uses) and sell the third reel for what I paid. It winds up being $40 + $6 for shipping which equals $46.
I think this reel is especially attractive to Kayak fishermen because space is a number one requirement.
Go to http://cordwheel.com/ruslyn-pack-reel/ to see the website and specification.
If you're interested in buying this reel, please send me a PM. I'll also provide you with a copy of my receipt so that you can be assured I'm selling it at my cost.

Green buildings are designed and constructed with the goal of reducing the building's impact on the environment throughout all phases of its lifecycle, including siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green buildings seek to reduce the use of resources, including energy, water, and materials. Green building principles also take into consideration the impact buildings have on human health, including reducing toxicity and improving air quality.
LEED Certification - The most common certification system for green buildings is the LEED program, established by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED, standing for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, rates buildings on various sustainable design characteristics including: energy and water efficiency, sustainability and toxicity (or lack thereof) of the materials used, and indoor air quality. For more information about LEED certification, visit the U.S. Green Building Council website or its local affiliate, Green Building Alliance
Energy Star Certification - A second option for verifying the environmental impact of a building is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star Certification. The Energy Star program provides guidelines for energy management and building design to help meet strict energy performance standards set by the EPA. To qualify for the Energy Star label, a building must score in the top 25% of buildings based on the EPA's National Energy Performance Rating System for similar buildings. For more information, check out the Energy Star website.
Pittsburgh Green Garage Initiative
Construction, maintenance, demolition, and building-use consume a very large amount of energy. In the U.S., buildings account for:
- 65% of electricity consumption
- 30% of raw material use
- 30% of greenhouse gas emissions
Green buildings not only help to protect the environment, conserve natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emission, but they also are important to the overall health of our population, as most of us spend the majority of our lives inside buildings. Buildings that are not built with human health and safety in mind often contain materials that are unhealthy, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), asbestos, and other products that decrease indoor air quality. Further, green buildings usually cost much less to operate than traditional buildings. In fact, a recent study of 121 LEED New Construction buildings, shows that the average LEED building uses 25-30% less energy than the national average (New Buildings Institute). This energy savings translates into cost savings.
In recent years, the City has adopted 2 key pieces of green building legislation: (1) a density bonus for LEED certified buildings allowing them to rise 20% higher and include 20% more floor area than other buildings in their zoning districts, and (2) a requirement that all publicly-financed development over $2 million or 10,000 square feet attains LEED Silver certification.
Today, Pittsburgh is ranked 8th in the nation in number of LEED-certified buildings and ranked 10th in terms of square feet, thanks in part to the leadership of local non-profits, universities, and businesses.
There are currently 39 LEED-certified buildings in the city and more than 59 in Western Pennsylvania, with more than 60 new projects in the city pursuing LEED certification.
Pittsburgh boasts many green building firsts, including 2 of the first 12 green buildings to be certified in the nation. Other green building firsts include the following:
- First Green Convention Center - David L. Lawrence Convention Center
- First Green Financial Institution-PNC Firstside Center
- First Green Children's Museum - Children's Museum of Pittsburgh
- First Green University Dance Studio - Point Park University Dance Complex
- First Green Welcome Center in a Public Garden - Phipps Conservatory Welcome Center
- First Green Smithsonian Property - Senator John Heinz History Center
- First Green Radio Station - WYEP Radio Station

Pownce scores on gender options
How many of you are using Pownce?
I can barely keep up with all my social networking profiles these days. Between Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, del.icio.us, LastFM, Digg, Flickr, FriendFeed, and more, I'm definitely experiencing Web 2.0 Fatigue, but what's one more profile added to the mix? (I admit it, I actually signed up for several Pownce accounts, a habit of mine when signing up with online services to reserve a handful of preferred usernames.)
I first learned about Pownce in January 2008 when I attended a talk by one of its founders, Daniel Burka. What is Pownce? In their own words:
Pownce is a way to send stuff to your friends. What kind of stuff? You can send just about anything: music, photos, messages, links, events, and more. You can do it all on our web site, or install our lightweight desktop software that lets you get out of the browser.
Basically, it's like Twitter on testosterone!
Anyway, during the sign-up process I was thrilled to see that Pownce gives you a multitude of options for selecting your gender:
I previously praised Flickr for doing something similar, but Pownce has definitely raised the bar here!
I'm not sure how much use my account will get quite yet, but if you're using Pownce add me as a friend.

UW engineers gear up for SmartAmerica Challenge
Story by Clare LaFond
Photos by Conrado Tapado
Uw start-up BluHaptics demonstrated their telerobotics technology May 13 at a SmartAmerica Challenge preview at UW.
Using technology developed by Dr. Howard Chizeck's lab in the UW Department of Electrical Engineering, a team of UW scientists and engineers is creating a control system for underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). ROVs can perform a variety of undersea tasks too dangerous – or even impossible – for humans. The BluHaptics team joined eight other organizations May 13 at UW as part of the SmartAmerica Challenge team, each demonstrating telerobotics technology that could make disaster response faster and more efficient.
It's all part of the SmartAmerica Challenge, an initiative designed by two of this year's Presidential Innovation Fellows to encourage new technologies that help society in our increasingly connected world. UW engineers and partner organizations demonstrated their telerobotics technology for the news media and the UW community at a SmartAmerica Challenge preview event held in the Electrical Engineering Building atrium. The team, which formed about six months ago at an initial brainstorming gathering in Washington, D.C., will present their projects in D.C. in June.

Alissa the key to hot advertising campaign
Lebanese singer Alissa is to travel to Dubai during the beginning of May, where she is scheduled to shoot a commercial for the international sunglasses company Ray Ban. The singer is to be the star of Ray Ban's advertising campaign and will hold a press conference to talk about the campaign followed by an honorary ceremony for Alissa.
According to the London based Elaph, the event was previously scheduled to take place during February, but had to be postponed due to the sudden death of Alissa's father. Alissa will first head to Italy at the end of April to shoot a new commercial for the international soft drink Pepsi Cola. Alissa recently took part in a special conference held in London by Pepsi Cola, after receiving a special invitation for the debut of a new commercial — starring Britney Spears, Beyonce Knowles and Pink.
The countdown for the release of the latest album "Ahla Dunia" (The Best World) by Alissa has begun, as the singer prepares to dazzle her fans once more with new songs and styles. The singer was able to achieve significant success in the Arab and abroad in such a short time.
Rotana will release the new musical album entitled "Alissa 2004". The new album includes 13 songs by many poets and composers such as Nizar Francis, Nabil Abu Abdo, Samir Sufair, and Sherif Taj. –Albawaba.com

There's a conversation running right now on the relative value of certain Bible translations.Depending on who's talking and for what purpose, it might strike some as tedious. I happen to enjoy the discussion, and I think there's one strain that's worthy of consideration for those interested in how language might affect their spirituality.In discussing the recent republication of the Knox Bible, a mid-twentieth century translation, Michael Brendan Dougherty mentions one "fatal" flaw, the … [Read more...]

Novelist John Updike once called the King James Bible "our language's lone masterpiece produced by committee." He said that in a New Yorker review of Robert Alter's translation of the Pentateuch—The Five Books of Moses.Well, Alter now has a new book about the King James Bible and its influence on the style of six American novelists: Herman Melville, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Saul Bellow, Marilynne Robinson, and Cormac McCarthy.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX slips after Fed, banks lead decline
(Adds portfolio manager comment, updates prices to close)
* TSX ends down 20.07 points, or 0.14 percent, at 14,732.98
* Eight of the TSX's 10 main groups close lower
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, June 17 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index slipped on Wednesday as the country's biggest banks retreated, after the U.S. Federal Reserve moved cautiously towards rate hikes later this year.
The central bank of Canada's main trading partner said the U.S. economy is growing moderately as it trimmed its growth forecasts and stretched out its timeline for higher borrowing costs.
Toronto-Dominion Bank led the decliners, down 0.8 percent at C$53.86, while Royal Bank of Canada slipped 0.6 percent to C$78.05 and Bank of Nova Scotia declined 0.8 percent to C$65.28. The heavily-weighted financial group fell 0.6 percent.
The biggest pushback came from the materials group, which gained 0.8 percent overall, as miners benefited from a higher gold price. Barrick Gold Corp rose 2.6 percent to C$14.13.
Other major gainers included Canadian National Railway , which rose 0.8 percent to C$73.95. Continued...

[American Jewish Committee 58th Annual Meeting]
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
Unidentified audio. Identified audio based on individuals present.
Recording begins abruptly.
Morris Abram, president of The American Jewish Committee speaks about hope. He makes reference to two attendees, Martin Luther King and Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. Abram speaks of both men's work for civil rights.
He speaks of the Civil Rights leadership and of "astonishing willingness [of African Americans] to forgive the wrong when righted."
He says that the only valid test is absolute equality and that on that test we still fail. He speaks of the tensions caused by the struggles for equality, but reiterates the importance of non-violent demonstration. Abram mentions the support Jewish Americans have shown for African Americans. he notes that despite both groups struggles, the African American's experience with slavery sets them apart. He speaks of the differences of their struggles - African Americans have been the only minority to have been denied access to the American educational system.
Abrams moves on to speak of the Jewish people's ties to Germany - he says that despite the atrocities of the past guilt is personal and can not be applied to a nation.
He also speaks about forthcoming conclusion of the Second Vatican Council and the relationship of Catholics and Jews.
He finally speaks contrasts the Soviet Union's concept of human rights to America's.
Ends abruptly.

Orthodox Jewish revival opens niche for Yiddish news
By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor
(Reuters) - The rapid revival of strict Orthodox Jewish communities that has shifted New York City's religious demographics and transformed Israel's political landscape has created a new market niche for a 115-year-old Yiddish newspaper.
Next Monday, Forverts (Forward) will launch a daily news website for Yiddish speakers who are bringing the language of Eastern Europe's Ashkenazi Jews back from its near-death experience when millions of speakers died in the Holocaust.
The New York-based weekly, launched in 1897 as a crusading socialist daily for Jewish immigrants to the United States, has been in slow decline since 1945.
It cut back to weekly from daily publishing in 1983 and launched an English-language weekly in 1990.
"The website is going for an international audience," said associate editor Itzik Gottesman, noting the ranks of native speakers, mostly from Hasidic and yeshiva (religious school) backgrounds, was now booming in the United States, Israel and other countries.
"Research in New York City said there are 80,000 Hasidim who speak Yiddish at home. That population is exploding," he said.
In Israel, Yiddish is the language of many Haredim ("those who tremble before God"), whose tradition of large families has propelled them from a tiny minority decades ago to a politically influential 10 percent bloc of the population.
About one-quarter of all Israeli first grade pupils are now from Haredi or "ultra-Orthodox" families. In the New York area, more than one-third of all Jewish children are Hasidic. Continued...

There are still milliions who have fond memories for the days of dear old Adolf Hitler, the man who knew how to kill. There are still many who prefer their communities rid of the riff raff who make life unbearable because they dress in old clothes and or smell dfferently. For many in Europe "those peope"go by the name of –Roma. They inhabit the fringe of society and they simply have large families not like the desired one or two children. Gilles Bourdouleix, may of Cholot recently became very angry at the sight of some Roma who were illegally setting up tents. What else could he say but, "maybe Hitler did not kill enough."
Yes, those were the times, no Roma, no Jews, and certainly no gays in town. Just decent, hard working white folk. Oh well, the good news is this man spoke what was in his mind while others think these thoughts and express other words. At least, a bit of honesty.

Kenya c.bank seen cutting rates by 200 basis points
By Kevin Mwanza
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenyan policymakers are expected to slash the central bank's lending rate by two percentage points at their November meeting, to lower lending costs and give the economy a vital boost, a Reuters poll showed on Monday.
The central bank's rate-setting committee, which embarked on a monetary easing cycle in July, is scheduled to meet on November7, amid on-target inflation and a stable exchange rate.
The 12 analysts and market participants surveyed said they expected the committee to cut the benchmark Central Bank Rate (CBR) by a median forecast of 200 basis points to 11 percent. They have cut the rate by a total of five percentage points over two meetings since July.
"With inflation likely to remain in low single digits for a while, and the KES stable thanks to the sterilisation of liquidity... the CBK will be comfortable cutting interest rates by a sizeable amount yet again," said Razia Khan, head of research for Africa at Standard Chartered in London.
Year-on-year inflation fell to 4.14 percent last month from 5.32 percent in September, after food prices rose at a slower pace than the previous month.
A senior Treasury official told Reuters last week that inflation was "where we want it to be". The Treasury has an inflation target of 5 percent over the medium-term.
Geoffrey Mwau, who is the economic secretary at the ministry of finance said despite the drop in inflation, easing was likely to be gradual to ensure credit expansion does not outpace growth in the real economy, to avoid overheating.
The prevailing stability in the exchange rate could however create ample room for the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to adopt a very dovish stance in order to boost economic growth, one analyst said. Continued...

The guys over at EvilControllers offer custom game controllers of all sorts. And they just added a PlayStation 4 lineup of DualShock 4 controllers in various designs. While the controllers are pricey — retailing at $30 bucks — they're pretty exciting and will draw a lot more attention than Sony's standard PlayStation 4 controller.
Check out some of the controllers below — we're particularly fond of the white retro styled edition (seen above). You can check out their full (and expensive) EvilControllers lineup here. They have a sale on some of the controllers — the white one above retails at $90 bucks at the moment.

338 Edge - History and Development
338 Edge - History and Development
By Shawn Carlock
I developed and named the 338 Edge in 2001. Now, I am sure I was not the first person to neck up the 300 Ultra (RUM) case to .338. But I have, in all probability, spent considerably more time with this 338 round than anyone else.
The 338 Edge is simply a 300 Ultra Mag necked up to .338. This is a simple process requiring no more work than a standard .338 reload. I choose this option for the 338 Edge for several reasons. First, the round had to run through a Remington 700 long action, use a standard magnum boltface and launch very high BC 338 bullets. I settled on .338 caliber for the Edge early on for its BC and weight.
When I started searching for a suitable case for the Edge, the 338 Ultra Mag case was the only realistic choice. When Remington released the 338 Ultra Mag it occurred to me that there could be some confusion about what you could chamber in the rifles, so I named the round the 338 Edge mostly to avoid confusion of the 338 RUM vs. 338-300 Ultra issues.
Jacob Gottfredson wrote an article about my 338 Edge test rifle that published in the October 2000 issue of The Accurate Rifle, this article on the 338 Edge can still be viewed in the snipers paradise website. Since initial development of the Edge we have been refining the 338 Edge to become the most practical bang for the buck available to the long range hunter/shooter/tactician.
Our first refinement to the 338 Edge was to move to 30 match barrel of extreme quality. We chose Hart barrels based on reputation and our experience with them and have never looked back. We currently use others as well for the 338 Edge but the Hart tubes are the overwhelming majority used for the Edge.
With the longer barrels used for the 338 Edge we started running heavier bullets specifically the .338 Sierra 300 gr. SMK. We can run the 300 SMK .338 bullet 2800-2950 fps depending on the load and individual rifle. Our initial push was to develop a 338 Edge bullet rifle combo that would penetrate 3/8 mild steel @ 1000 yards with extreme accuracy. Below you see the results of a 338 Edge bullet cratering in a piece of ½ T1 steel at 735 yards. This bullet /speed combo in the Edge will penetrate 3/8 mild steel at 1000 yards.
What has become our standard load for the 338 Edge runs right at 2800-2830 fps. While you can run faster, this 338 Edge load combo gave extreme velocity spreads of low teens and single digits. Also since we were using a Hodgen extreme powder for the 338 Edge when we tested temperature sensitivity we found it to vary less than 30 fps from 20-90 degrees. No other combo we tested came close to this kind of consistency in the 338 Edge. From my position I will gladly give up 100 fps (or less) for this kind of performance in the 338 Edge. To put this performance into perspective, running the 300 grain .338 SMK at 2800-2850 fps and shooting a big game animal at 1000 yards with the 338 Edge is just like putting your 308 Winchester right against the fur!

We'll Be Mending Your Soil This Saturday!
My seminar at the home and garden show last weekend was fun and interesting. Many people had questions about bad-looking lawns, copious weeds, vegetable gardens that struggled last year, and trees that wouldn't grow. The answers to all boiled down to one inescapable truth: gardening success along the Gulf Coast starts with healthy, organically enriched soil.
- If you don't aerate the lawn and add a soil amendment, you may never achieve a healthy stand of grass in our clay soils. And our hardpan soil is a perfect invitation to weeds.
- If you don't make a raised bed for veggies, herbs, perennials, annuals ... even small landscape shrubbery ... you're going to struggle at least, and perhaps completely fail.
- If you don't amend your soil so the roots of newly planted trees and big shrubs have time to adapt to existing soil conditions, they are going to languish as well.
So, to help with all those needs, I will have a myriad of free Soil Mender products to help fix your problems at my appearance this weekend at Buchanan's Native Plants, 611 East 11th St. in the Heights. I'll be there 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, and if your soil falls into any of the aforementioned categories, Soil Mender and I will almost certainly be able to provide some assistance.
We will have plenty of their food products to give away as well, so print a copy of this blog post and bring it with you as your prize coupon. Even if you think your soil is already good, show me what plants, veggies or herbs you're buying while at Buchanan's and I'll give you some free food to match just for the asking.
Speaking of food, check Buchanan's website see what food trucks will be dropping by this weekend and what new arrivals, special deals and promotions you can expect during your visit. Remember, Buchanan's is Houston's premier nursery and garden center inside The Loop, specializing in Texas native plants and organic gardening practices.

Shea Moisture Milk
I'm not finding any threads dedicated to this topic (I am on the app so poor search function); hopefully, I'm not repeating.
For those that do use the milk how do you use it specifically? Which one do you use? I'm interested in the curl & hibiscus line one.
The milk is in my rotation as a rinse out. My hair is fine and prone to over-conditioning. The milk gives me great moisture without being so rich that I get over-conditioned. In low dews, it's a nice, light leave in.
That's a good idea to try it that way. I'm thinking over conditioning may be happening to me as well.
It's been years since I've consistently styled my hair to wear down and now I'm re-learning what to do with my hair. So much more info has come out since 11 years ago :)
