ASUS has announced three new monitors from their Republic of Gamers division, all of which feature Adaptive-Sync variable refresh rate displays.
The monitors include a 28-inch model (MG28UQ), and a pair of 24-inch displays (MG248Q, MG24UQ). Looking first at the MG28UQ, which is a 28-inch, UHD/4K (3840x2160) display featuring a 1ms response time. Inputs include DisplayPort (1.2), one HDMI 2.0, and two HDMI 1.4 ports.
One of the 24-inch displays, the MG24UQ, is also UHD/4K but features an IPS display (and consequently loses the 1ms response time of the 28-inch version).
Finally there is the 24-inch MG248Q, which offers a high 144 Hz refresh rate and 1ms response from its TN panel, but this model offers only FHD (1920x1080) resolution - though still adequate for gaming (especially at higher detail settings) depending on your preferences.
As far as availability goes, ASUS states "ASUS MG28UQ and MG24UQ are available immediately worldwide. MG248Q will be available in April 2016", though pricing was not announced.

ASUS ROG has announced the Maximus VIII Formula, a premium ATX motherboard with integrated EK hybrid liquid cooling which allows users to choose liquid or air cooling for the board's hottest components.
"The latest ROG Z170 motherboard now comes with the exclusive CrossChill EK hybrid cooling block!

ASUS ROG is Swiftly filling the monitor market; meet the PG27AQ
Subject: Displays | November 2, 2015 - 05:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: asus, ASUS ROG, ROG Swift, swift PG27AQ, ips display, 4k, 60hz
The 165Hz G-SYNC compatible ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q was recently on the PCPer review bench, garnering a Gold Award for its performance. Kitguru recently wrapped up a review of a slightly different model, the ROG Swift PG27AQ. Like the other model it is a 27" IPS display which supports G-SYNC, however only to 60Hz as it is a 4K (3840×2160) monitor. The bandwidth required to provide adaptive refresh at higher than 60Hz on a 4K display just isn't really available yet, so you have to make a choice between a high resolution or a high maximum refresh rate. Next year we will see monitors capable of this as the DisplayPort interface is updated. For now take a look at the review to see which you prefer between resolution and refresh rate.
"The ROG Swift PG27AQ is a 4K gaming monitor from Asus that supports Nvidia G-Sync up to 60Hz. It's a 27-inch IPS display with a 4ms response time and a 10-bit colour panel. Add on a flexible stand with pivot, tilt and rotate support, with a redesigned software interface, and it could be a contender for the best gaming display on the market."

ASUS' New ROG Maximus VIII Extreme Flagship Now Available For $500
Subject: Motherboards | October 28, 2015 - 08:38 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Z170, Skylake, Maximus VIII Extreme, e-atx, ddr4, ASUS ROG, asus
Motherboards supporting Intel's latest "Skylake" processor have been trickling out for months, and ASUS is no stranger to the Z170 chipset. After several months of waiting, its flagship motherboard is now available under the Republic of Gamers brand. The ROG Maximus VIII Extreme is a monster both in size – it's an E-ATX board – and features. It's not cheap though with an MSRP of $499.
The Maximus VIII Extreme is clad in black and red with silver capacitors. A massive heatsink keeps the Extreme Engine Digi+ power delivery hardware cool even under heavy overclocking conditions. Nested between the VRMs and the four DDR4 slots (up to 3866MHz) is the LGA 1151 processor socket. This motherboard can be used with the OC Panel II hardware overclocking module which can sit outside the case or in a 5.25" drive bay. There are also overclocking buttons on the top-right corner of the board itself.
Storage options include eight SATA 6Gbps ports (two SATA Express), a M.2, and a separate U.2 MVMe connector. Networking is handled by Intel Gigabit Ethernet (1219-V) and a 3x3 802.11ac WiFi NIC. ASUS is further including its SupremeFX 8-channel audio chipset.
When it comes to PCI-E expansion, this board delivers with four PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots (which can run at x16/x8/x8/x4) and two PCI-E 3.0 x1 slots.
Rear I/O includes:
- 4 x USB 3.0
- 4 x USB 3.1 (3 x Type A + 1 x Type C)
- 6 x USB 2.0
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- 5 x Analog Audio
- 1 x S/PDIF optical audio out
- 1 x DisplayPort
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x PS/2 combo port
- 3 x Wi-Fi antenna connectors
- 1 x Clear CMOS + 1 x BIOS Flashback button
Needless to say this board has everything but the kitchen sink (though that might be unlocked with a BIOS update...) in it. It is squarely aimed at extreme overclockers and gamers wanting to run triple or quad multi-GPU setups along with Intel's latest Skylake CPU. The flagship hardware will cost you though, with street prices just under $500 USD. If you're interested in this beast, keep an eye out for reviews (which appear to be scarce at the moment).
Two new ROG desktops from ASUS, the G11CD and the G20CB
Subject: Systems | October 9, 2015 - 06:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

ASUS has announced two new models of ROG Desktops for gamers based on Intel's new Skylake processors. Both models offer a choice of i5 or i7 processors and a gamut of video cards including and AMD R9 380 and in the case of the G11CD/CB an NVIDIA GTX 745 up to a 980 Ti while the G20CB ranges from a GT740 to a TITAN X.
The G11 is a full sized desktop, 176x440x442mm (6.9x17.3x17.4") and if you choose the CB model you will be able to have an H170 motherboard, a GTX 980Ti and up to a 512GB M.2 SSD. The CD model does not support those features and is built on an H110 motherboard. Both models off a choice between a DVD or Blu-Ray optical drive.
The ROG G20 offers more power in a slightly smaller case, 104x340x358mm (4.1x13.4x14.1") which is achieved by using an external power supply and dropping the optical drive altogether.
ASUS has managed to offer a vertically mounted TITAN X in this form factor, which is no small achievement. The ROG G20 also offers wireless connectivity in addition to a wired LAN Port, along with space for two internal drives.
All models share the familiar black and red ROG colour scheme, a nice mix of USB 3.1, 3.0 and 2.0 ports and 7.1 audio. There is no word on the pricing for either of these desktops, keep an eye out for updates as we learn more.
ASUS ROG GX700 Water Cooled Gaming Laptop Specs Revealed

We already saw an announcement from ASUS (at IFA 2015) for their water-cooled Republic of Gamers GX700 gaming laptop, and now we have more details about this unique product, though some are still pending. The specifications (including the full version of the NVIDIA GTX 980) would make a great gaming desktop system, and that's kind of the idea as the performance increases substantially when the laptop is docked in its liquid-cooling base.
There are certainly questions about this concept that won't be answered until hardware in hand, but it's going to be interesting to see just how well a liquid cooling system will work in a dockable format like this.
Here are the specifications we know so far:
- CPU: Intel Core i7 6820HK
- GPU: GeForce GTX 980, 8GB GDDR5
- Display: 17.3-inch IPS FHD (1920x1080) G-SYNC / Optional 4K/UHD G-SYNC
- RAM: Up to 64GB DDR4
- Storage: Up to 1TB PCIe x4 SSD (2 x 512GB)
- Optical: Blu-ray 6x RW
- Card reader: SDXC
- Networking: Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0
- Keyboard: Anti-ghosting keyboard with 30-key rollover; 2.5mm travel; Illuminated
- Ports:
- 3 x USB 3.0
- 1 x USB Type-C / Thunderbolt 3
- 1 x USB Type-C / USB 3.1
- 1 x mini-DisplayPort
- 1 x HDMI
- Audio: 1x Headphone/mini-Optical S/PDIF, 1x Microphone input
- Webcam: 1.2MP HD camera

Lian Li and ASUS ROG Create Mini-ITX Gaming Enclosure
Subject: Cases and Cooling | August 18, 2015 - 12:26 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: Lian Li, ASUS ROG, mini-itx, enclosure, case, gaming
Lian Li has announced a new mini-ITX enclosure featuring ASUS ROG branding, and this compact gaming case supports full size power supplies and larger liquid coolers, though not everything will fit inside this tiny enclosure.
There are more than a couple of similarities to the NCASE M1, that crowdfunded mini-ITX enclosure that Lian Li built for NCASE, but the PC-Q17 doesn't support dual-width liquid coolers the same way. Part of this has to do with the side window in this new case, essential to show off your diminutive gaming rig. So where does that 240mm radiator fit?
Not everyone will like having the cooler outside of the enclosure, but it's nice that the case offers this functionality without having to modify it should you desire this level of CPU (or in the case of an AMD Fury X, GPU) cooling. For many a smaller air cooler could suffice, and as we can see from this build photo it does look very nice housing a complete system.
As usual no pricing or availability information accompanies this announcement.
ASUS Releases New ROG Maximus VIII Lineup for Intel Z170
Subject: Motherboards | August 5, 2015 - 10:44 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: Skylake, Maximus VIII, LGA 1151, Intel Z170, ASUS ROG, asus
The 6th-generation Intel Core processors and Z170 chipset are here, and to support Skylake for the enthusiast ASUS has added three new motherboards to their Republic of Gamers 'Maximus' lineup: The Maximus VIII Hero, Maximus VIII Ranger, and Maximus VIII Gene.
For those unfamiliar, ASUS includes just about everything (possibly including the kitchen sink, I haven't seen the exact box contents yet) in these Maximus boards, and calling them feature-rich would be an understatement. In addition to the premium construction and overclocking focus there is now a greater emphasis on ease-of-use, with feaures inherited from the company's signature series motherboards. This "5-Way Optimization" includes "all of the enhancements enjoyed by ASUS signature motherboards...complete with award-winning automated overclocking and unmatched fan controls".
There are interesting additions to the new Z170 Maximus lineup, including customizable RGB LED lighting, which can be set to change color based on CPU temperature or "pulsate in time to the beat of your favorite tunes". Who doesn't want their motherboard to do that?
The micro-ATX variant: ASUS Maximus VIII Gene
While silent PC enthusiasts might not think aabout a motherboard that's engineered for overclocking performance, fan headers and speed control are a focus with the lineup. In addtion to what's installed on the motherboard ASUS is offering this nice little accessory (as a separate purchase) connects to a header on the motherboard to add an additional three PWM fans with full control.
The ultimate accessory for the enclosure enthusiast? I think so
You could already create some very quiet system builds with Maximus motherboards and the option of adding additional fans with a "Fan Extension card" is a thoughtful one.
The Maximus VIII Hero, Maximus VIII Ranger, and Maximus VIII Gene will be available immediately from the usual retailers, and ASUS states that "other Maximus VIII models will arrive soon". Pricing was not immediately available at time of publication but I would assume this will mirror that of the existing Maximum VII lineup as in past generations.
Valve's The International 2015
Subject: General Tech | August 1, 2015 - 10:55 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, esports, valve, DOTA, DOTA 2, asus, ASUS ROG
Each year, Valve Software puts on a giant DOTA2 tournament where teams compete for literally millions of dollars. As of this writing, the prize pool currently sits at $17.9 million USD, which is divided between a 6.5 million USD first place prize, down to just under $54,000 USD for 13th through 16th place. Granted, these are per-team prizes, so individual players and their organizations will split the earnings from there how they see fit. It will take place between August 3rd and end with the Grand Finals on August 8th.
Last year, the event was broadcast on ESPN3. While it does not seem to be mentioned on the official website, although the online streaming WatchESPN is listed, ESPN's calendar has The International on its ESPN3 calendar for all six days. That said, you could always watch it online like you obviously watch every episode of the PC Perspective podcast. Right? Live and participating in the chat?
You can also check out an ASUS RoG contest at the JoinDOTA website. The top prize is an ROG G751 Gaming Laptop, a mouse with mousepad, and t-shirt. Second prize gets the mouse, mousepad, and t-shirt. Third and fourth place gets a different mouse (without a mousepad) and a t-shirt. Fifth place has been there, done that, but only gets a t-shirt.
And for the rest of us, maybe someone will snap a picture of a Valve workstation while they're aren't looking... again.
Introduction and Design
With the introduction of the ASUS G751JT-CH71, we've now got our first look at the newest ROG notebook design revision. The celebrated design language remains the same, and the machine's lineage is immediately discernible. However, unlike the $2,000 G750JX-DB71 unit we reviewed a year and a half ago, this particular G751JT configuration is 25% less expensive at just $1,500. So first off, what's changed on the inside?
(Editor's Note: This is NOT the recent G-Sync version of the ASUS G751 notebook that was announced at Computex. This is the previously released version, one that I am told will continue to sell for the foreseeable future and one that will come at a lower overall price than the G-Sync enabled model. Expect a review on the G-Sync derivative very soon!)
Quite a lot, as it turns out. For starters, we've moved all the way from the 700M series to the 900M series—a leap which clearly ought to pay off in spades in terms of GPU performance. The CPU and RAM remain virtually equivalent, while the battery has migrated from external to internal and enjoyed a 100 mAh bump in the process (from 5900 to 6000 mAh). So what's with the lower price then? Well, apart from the age difference, it's the storage: the G750JX featured both a 1 TB storage drive and a 256 GB SSD, while the G751JT-CH71 drops the SSD. That's a small sacrifice in our book, especially when an SSD is so easily added thereafter. By the way, if you'd rather simply have ASUS handle that part of the equation for you, you can score a virtually equivalent configuration (chipset and design evolutions notwithstanding) in the G751JT-DH72 for $1750—still $250 less than the G750JX we reviewed.

Group 1 (HOU) | Group 2 (SKC) | Group 5 (MTL, SJ) | Group 8 (LA)
How they qualified: 2013 Costa Rican Torneo Verano runners-up
Coach: Javier Delgado (CRC)
Best Finish: First appearance (Champions League); winners (Champions' Cup, 1994)
Outlook: Cartaginés have one player who should be plenty familiar to the Galaxy: Uruguayan midfielder Paolo Cardozo, who played for both LA and city rivals Chivas USA during a two-year stint in MLS from 2011 to 2012. Elsewhere, Costa Rica international Pablo Herrera will be key in helping the team maintain midfield shape and has also chipped in offensively, coming away from the team's opening win over Isidro Metapán with a hat trick. Forward Randall Brenes, another Costa Rica regular, also figures to be an offensive threat.
Los Azules will be high in confidence after winning a shootout away from home to open their CCL campaign, and should prove the biggest threats to the Galaxy in terms of getting out of the group. However, considering the manner in which LA dispatched another Costa Rican side – Herediano – in the 2012-13 quarterfinals just five months ago, it's hard to imagine them pulling off the upset.
Isidro Metapán
How they qualified: 2012 Torneo Apertura winners
Coach: Jorge Humberto Rodríguez (SLV)
Best Finish: Quarterfinals (2011-12)
Outlook: Coached by longtime Dallas Burn man Jorge Rodríguez (aka "El Zarco"), Isidro have been regular participants in the CCL, having taken part on every occasion since the tournament took its current format in 2008. They've only gotten out of the group stage once, but will be returning a number of experienced campaigners who are plenty familiar with the Galaxy after facing off against the back-to-back MLS Cup champs in last year's group stage.
Panamanian forward Nico Muñoz has been a wrecking ball at the domestic level and scored six of his side's seven goals in the 2012-13 CCL – good enough for the tournament's top scorer award despite having just one win to their name. The team lost Uruguayan playmaker Paolo Suarez (brother of Luis), but reinforced in attack with the signings of Puerto Rico international Hector Ramos and Brazilian forward Pericles Pinto. Former D.C. United man and experienced campaigner Eliseo Quintanilla is one of the more recognizable names in the squad and will offer Los Caleros some stability in midfield.
LA Galaxy
How they qualified: 2012 MLS Cup winners
Coach: Bruce Arena (USA)
Best Finish: Semifinals (2012-13); winners (Champions' Cup, 2000)
Outlook: After dropping a close semifinal series to Monterrey last time around, the Galaxy have a realistic chance of going one better and becoming the first MLS team since Real Salt Lake in 2010-11 to reach the final. Boasting one of the best rosters and best coaches in MLS, the Galaxy certainly have the depth, pedigree and talent to make another deep run, and at the very least, a third consecutive appearances in the tournament's knockout rounds.
The recent contract renewal for Omar Gonzalez and the signing of experienced Central American campaigner Jaime Penedo in net should put to bed most concerns about defense. The roster should be plenty deep enough to see the Galaxy to the group stages, and should Landon Donovan stay with LA in 2014, it could put the Galaxy over the edge in the knockout rounds, as opposed to the 2012-13 campaign when he was largely a non-factor having recently returned from his four-month leave.
Group Dynamic:
This should handily be LA's group, even if Arena decides to play a mostly reserve lineup as he did last year. Cartaginés should offer some stiffer resistance than the Galaxy faced last year, but even a draw in Costa Rica should leave the Galaxy plenty comfortable. In short, it'd take a big shock for LA not to advance from this group.

Neal Boortz to Kerry supporters: "I deeply, deeply, feel that you present a danger to this country. ... Just as the Islamic terrorists do"
Research ››› ››› AVI ZOLLMAN
Unprompted, and insistent that he was "not saying this for effect," right-wing radio host Neal Boortz, on his July 23 show, said that he could "not make up his mind" about which group "presents a greater threat" to the United States: those "who would vote for John Kerry for president of the United States" or "Osama bin Laden and his Islamic terrorists."
From the July 23 broadcast of the nationally syndicated Neal Boortz show:
BOORTZ: Frankly I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out who is a greater threat to this country and I -- I don't -- I don't ask this question or make this statement for the purpose of saying something outlandish that you will repeat at lunch or dinner today. It's not why I'm doing this. But there's two different groups of people out there that present a threat to this country. Well there's many different groups. But I'm just singling out two different groups of people right now that present a threat to this country, and frankly I just cannot tell you which one presents the greater threat. One group of people: Osama bin Laden and his Islamic terrorists. The Islamic jihadists. The other group of people: those of you who would vote for John Kerry. And both groups present a threat to our safety and a threat to our future. A threat to our freedoms and a threat to our economic liberty.
And again I'm not saying this for effect. I mean this. I can not make up my mind which group is most dangerous. I can't. Because those of you, out there, who would vote for John Kerry for president of the United States, I have -- I deeply, deeply, feel that you present a danger to this country. To our freedoms. To our very safety. And to our future. Just as the Islamic terrorists do. And I hope you know what in the hell you're doing, but frankly I doubt it very, very seriously.
Boortz is an Atlanta-based conservative radio talk show host and author of The Terrible Truth About Liberals (Longstreet Press/National Book Network, 1998). According to statistics compiled by TALKERS magazine, Boortz has a national audience of more than 2.5 million listeners through Cox Radio Syndication.

Celebrities Who Own The Miami Dolphins
February 2, 2012 by staff
Celebrities Who Own The Miami Dolphins, While conservative bloviator Rush Limbaugh is running into some stiff resistance in his bid to become one of the owners of the St. Louis Rams, the Black Eyed Peas' Fergie faced no such roadblocks in her quest to become a force in football as part-owner of the Miami Dolphins. According to SportingNews.com, NFL owners voted on Tuesday to approve her as the latest celebrity minority investor in the storied NFL franchise.
Though the Dolphins have yet to ink an official deal with the singer, as soon as she signs the papers with the team, she can become an investor. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said he's had discussions with Fergie about the deal, but because the Peas are currently touring Australia, he's not yet gotten her signature.
Once the deal is ironed out, Fergie (born Stacy Ann Ferguson), 34, will join a roster of other celebrity investors in the Dolphins that includes singer Marc Anthony, tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, flip-flop aficionado Jimmy Buffett and Latin music power couple Emilio and Gloria Estefan. It was not announced how big a stake Fergie, a California native, was purchasing in the team, but it probably won't be big enough to convince them to hire bandmate Will.I.Am.
All of the Dolphins' bold-name owners have bought very small portions of the team and have agreed to make appearances at the stadium during games as part of Ross' effort to attract a more diverse crowd. On Monday, Estefan teamed up with Hank Williams Jr. on a bilingual version of the Monday Night Football anthem, "Are You Ready for Some Football?" as part of the NFL's Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.

UnNews talk:Hillary Clinton wants votes of a small Greek island counted in Democratic primary
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
HEY! It is NOT a SMALL island! It is Greece's second largest island after Crete (and considerably larger than the 3rd largest Rhodes) and Mediterrenean's 6th biggest (after Sicely, Sardinia, Cyprus, Corsica and Crete). Which island is big enough for you to consider it not small? New Zealand? or only Australia (oh I hate those Australians) is big enough for you?--188.8.131.52 15:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. The target of the humor here is the fact that Mrs. Clinton wants the votes of a place so far away from America to be counted. --THE 18:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Do not take me wrong. I was not offended and I can catch up with political humor (though having Hilary as a potential US president is not fun at all! you already had her from 1993 to 2001 and it was NOT fun!) The charactirization of Euboea as small is simply topographically incorrect. Also having 40,000 people on it, even a humorous tip that all these people would vote for Hilary can make somebody shake in fear! If there is a thing worse than a neo-con that is a neo-con disguised as a libertarian. --184.108.40.206 18:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Hector "Macho" Camacho was a brash fighter with a mean jab and an aggressive style, launching himself furiously against some of the biggest names in boxing. And his bad-boy persona was not entirely an act, with a history of legal scrapes that began in his teens and continued throughout his life.
The man who once starred at the pinnacle of boxing, winning several world titles, died Saturday after being ambushed in a parking lot back in the Puerto Rican town of Bayamon where he was born. Packets of cocaine were found in the car in which he was shot.
Camacho, 50, left behind a reputation for flamboyance -- leading fans in cheers of "It's Macho time!" before fights -- and for fearsome skills as one of the top fighters of his generation.

We left Opua, New Zealand on May 6th bound for Suva, Fiji Islands. The open ocean passage took us eight days, and covered some 1,100 nautical miles.
May 6, 2004 - Day 1 - Departure from Opua
left Opua for Fiji this morning at 11:00am. We
loaded up with our tax-free diesel at the gas dock by noon, and
then we proceeded through the Bay of Islands on our way
to Fiji. This will be the test for me - an open ocean passage for 7-10 days.
I had forgotten how rough the open Pacific Ocean is. The first day out is always a challenge to sailor's stomachs. Also, we are close-hauled on a beam reach, which means the boat rolls more since it is taking waves broadside. I'm feeling fine, but I had a light supper just to be safe.
Craig, Barbara and I are doing 3 hour watches, so that gives us about 5-6 hours of sleep. During daylight hours we do other things when we are off watch, so we have to be careful to get enough sleep, because the last thing you want to do is fall asleep while on watch!
May 7, 2004 - Day 2 - Passage to Fiji
I'm on watch 6-9am, then again 3-6pm. The early morning watch isn't bad, but the
wind has died to 5-10 knots - not really enough wind for Sequoia.
She really needs 15-20 knots to make headway, and she can handle 20-30 knots of
wind - the only problem is after about 25 knots, the crew have problems handling
it! Within half an hour of taking
the watch after mine, Craig decides to motor sail since our
speed has fallen to 3 knots
under sail. At that rate, it would take 2-3 weeks to get to
May 9, 2004 - Day 4 - Passage to Fiji
I have the midnight-3am watch, and around 1am we are running along the edge of a series of squalls, which is mainly to the east of our course. I'm a bit concerned, however 45 minutes later we are mostly clear of them. Clear sailing ahead!
May 10, 2004 - Day 5 - Passage to Fiji
There are lots of stars out this evening. It is so dark on my early evening watch before the moon rises. The Milky Way is a brilliant cloud of stars from horizon to horizon such as I have never observed before. This is the Crux region of the Milky Way. In the Northern Hemisphere, we see the Perseus region - another arm of the Milky Way.
May 11, 2004 - Day 6 - Passage to Fiji
The last few days have had their moments. With NE winds and our course being
to Fiji, we have been close-hauled. This has made for an uncomfortable few
days since we left Opua,
since the winds are often 20-25 knots and the swells are in the 2m range
coming at us off our beam. I
haven't felt much like writing in my journal while my body adjusts to the boat
motion for my first open ocean passage.
May 12, 2004 - Day 7 - Passage to Fiji
Today was the first day
I have worn shorts. We saw a very nice sunset. Venus was so bright this
evening - there was a glowing ripple off the ocean as it set in the west. Although there
are some clouds, the view of the Milky Way was superb.
It was
lovely and warm at 84�F as we ate dinner
in the cockpit under a beautiful clear sky while observing stars (LVM must be at
least 6.0). I finally identified the Large Magellanic Cloud for the first time.
We watched Venus set into the west, with its light reflecting off the waves.
Later Sirius gave us the same beautiful spectacle.
May 13, 2004 - Day 8 - Arrival in Suva, Fiji
My first watch is 6-9am, so I see the sunrise with the Viti Levu landmass
now visible on the northern horizon ahead of us, as well as Kadavu
Island to the west. It is
shirt sleeve weather - clear and 77�F, and it is only 6:30am
as I write this. As it turns out, the Vanuatabu lighthouse appears to be
unlit. Craig
has been fishing the last couple of
days, but pulls his gear in, preparing for our arrival in Suva Harbour.

In September 2008 a group of researchers put together a 150 Page Report with a full examination of the major global debate regarding the identity and lineage of the Antichrist. The report is based on an examination the teaching of the Masonic lodges which are seeking to impose a one world global government in the distant future.
This report has come as at a much needed time with the growing speculation in recent times regarding the identity of the Antichrist. Some believe the rise of Barack Obama at a time when the global ecomony is going through a shocking meltdown is an indicator that he could be the prophesied Antichrist.
Others believe that the Antichrist is Prince Charles of Wales based on a major decoding of the cryptic symbolism embedded within his coat of arms and his significant involvement and influence within the world environment movement. There has also been significant support for the belief that Javier Solana is the Antichrist because of his noticeable presence across a number of high level european strategic positions and a member of the Club of Rome.
Recently there has been a growing wave of support for the Antichrist being an Islamic Madhi (Assyrian) based on a specific interpretation of specific passages in Daniel which have been suggested to refer to the Antichrist coming froming the eastern meditteranean rather than western europe.
The 150 Page Report called "The Antichrist Identity Report" is based on a significant study of the plans being rolled out by the Masonic Hierarchies who are masterminding the transitioning to a world government. Once their plans are examined it becomes clear that some of the teachings in bible prophecy today are not consistent with how the end times events are to happen.
For instance whilst there are those who claim that the Antichrist will be a Muslim Leader of a Muslim Alliance, the clear teachings of the Masonic New World Order is that Islam is incompatible with Masonic New World Order Strategic Directive and as such needs to be eliminated first before the world government can come to pass. This we know will happen with the biblical events of Ezekiel 38 which describes an alliance mostly consisting of islamic nations coming against Israel. As such there are many references within their literature as to the removal of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jersualem because of the requirement for Solomon's Temple to be rebuilt.
Another note is that many bible scholars make reference to the ten nations of a european alliance, however the planned objective of the masonic world government is one where the world has been divided into ten regions which then come under an economic development plan dictated by a socialist agenda. This plan already includes the European Union, the North American Union etc.
The Report is a major and fresh insight that will challenge some of the traditional concepts you may be familiar with as they deal with hard data of the plan being followed to usher in the new world masonic order. Some of the key areas are as follows:
Your view of the The Antichrist will be forever changed by the information in this report when you discover the importance of the Merovingian Bloodline factor and the Holy Roman Empire connection in this major Insight. (Part 1: Page 26)
You will fully understand why certain pro Zionist TV Evangelists like Pastor John Hagee are unsuspectingly playing right into the hands of the Masonic New World Order plans! (Part 1: Page 33)
You will understand the reason why many bible prophecy experts have been muted regarding the election of Barack Obama. What is it that they know but are simply too scared to say and why do many believe Obama is the closest representation of the coming Antichrist? (Part 2: Page 16)
A Major insight into the world views on who is the Antichrist with a significant focus on the lineage factor. Will the Antichrist be Jewish, Syrian, European or an Islamic Madhi? (Part 3: Page 5)
Major Insight into which companies are developing the Mark of the Beast technology and the biological dangers that have already resulted from such research! (Part 1: Page 50)
You will learn why the destruction of Islam and the removal of the Dome of the Rock from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is such an integral aspect of the establishment of the Masonic New World Order! (Part 3: Page 11)
Mel Sanger is an international affairs researcher and heads a media group of researchers with a predominant focus on the formation of the coming new world order and its impact on a political, economic and social level.

There are also some sneak previews of this report on the same website.
Some of the Testimonials on The Antichrist Identity Report
"The dissection of the Barack Obama and Prince Charles Antichrist debate is probably the best exposition I have seen to date on this matter. Fascinating."
Maurice Ellis, Apostolic Church, Connecticut
"The special report confirms the concerns I have had with popular bible prophecy teachings Masonic lodges know bible prophecy and will rollout their agenda in a sinister deceitful way that will catch many of us off guard"

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using an Advance Pricing Agreement: Lessons for the UK from the US and Austrarion Experience
Markham, Michelle A. (2005) The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using an Advance Pricing Agreement: Lessons for the UK from the US and Austrarion Experience. Intertax, 33(5), pp. 214-229.
Administrators only
The requirement in many OECD countries for "contemporaneous documentation" of a taxpayer's transfer pricing methodologies in order to avoid exposure to substantial penalties has led more taxpayers to consider entering into an Advance Pricing Agreement (APA). To these taxpayers, APAs represent an opportunity to remove the prospect of penalties and other areas of uncertainty related to transfer pricing enforcement. The latest transfer pricing survey by Ernst & Young revealed that "Fifty-seven per cent of U.K. subsidiary respondents that have not used APAs would consider using an APA as a controversy management tool in future."
If penalties imposed on multinational enterprises (MNEs) for transfer pricing transgressions have been described as the "stick" to force taxpayers (generally companies) to get their transfer pricing procedures in order, then APAs might justifiably be described as the "carrot". It is significant to note that countries which have been updating and expanding their documentation and penalty rules (such as the United States (US), Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom (UK) and Mexico), have simultaneously expanded their APA programs to deal with the proliferation of transfer pricing controversies. Although the documentation requirements for APAs are onerous, increasingly a cost-benefit analysis is proving a decisive factor for entering into an APA. This is especially the case as countries enact more documentation legislation coupled with severe penalties for non-compliance.
It is generally acknowledged that: "the concept of the APA as used by the OECD Fiscal Committee is very close to that provided by the IRS." As Australia and the UK also closely follow the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations (OECD Guidelines), there are many similarities between UK, Australian and US APAs. This paper proposes to examine some of the advantages and disadvantages of APAs as seen by taxpayers and revenue authorities in the United States and in Australia, along, where relevant, with the views expressed in the OECD Guidelines, in order to discern whether these are applicable to APAs entered into in the UK.

Why is NJ's Population Shifting Away From Suburbia? [AUDIO]
For the past 50 years, the American dream was all about buying a home in the Jersey suburbs, but that's now started to change.
Rutgers economist James Hughes says as the economy slowly improves, "A demographic and economic transformation is taking place – and for the next 10 years or so, suburbia is not the favored location."
Hughes says, "The 3 dynamic growth sectors are the children of the baby boomers- the eco-boomers – in their 20's and 30's – it's a rental housing generation – they want to live in high activity environments, such as Jersey City and Hoboken. They don't want to live in a far-flung suburb…The second growth sector…are aging baby boomers – they are resizing in the housing market- they're rattling around, by themselves, in a big suburban single family dwelling – they'd rather be in a walking environment – and the 3rd growth sector…are foreign born population. New Jersey ranks 3rd among all the states in the percentage of the population foreign born – and their location choices tend to be much more urban and much more dense."
He adds, "All 3 of those in the short term, really point to rental housing demand, higher density housing configurations, not single family units…I think we're going to see real segmentation among the suburbs – some suburbs, with certain attributes – are still going to be favored locations- other will not…Many suburban homes were built between 1950 and 1970, and the question is – that stock is now aging, how viable is that in the 21st century?"
Eventually however, Hughes says, "Those eco-boomers are going to become active parenting adults, and so if we're looking maybe 10 years down the road, we may now have a reverse-swing to suburbia."

|Index → Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Help → (help) utopia & infected mail build
|Please sign your comments with ~~~~. See Help:Signature and Help:Talk pages for further information.
|This forum thread has been unedited for 1421 days and is considered archived. Please don't add to the discussion, unless absolutely necessary.
Hello Yu-Gi-Oh! community, this is my first post on this site.. lol. I've been playing Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG for years but I'm "casual" play-style. I need tips with my Utopia + Infected Mail theme.. its slow & clunky (I run doubles). Please help- the aces I'm thinking:
Number 39: Utopia, Xyz Tribalrivals, Infected Mail
Removed images, cleaned decklist up,corrected grammar, but since we don't know what doubles you have, we can't give you any advice yet. Put down the numbers and we can help you. However, your deck seems very abstract and requires a lot of luck to function. Please explain your strategy and what you want the deck to do so we can recommend cards for you. I can suggest you remove Heart of Clear Water and Dice-nied, as well as Double or Nothing, since those cards are not too useful in most situations. Additionally, remove Warrior Lady as you have only one valid target for it (Goblindbergh), which is only useful when it's normal summoned. Jet-Black Nova (talk • contribs) 12:54, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
thanks for re-editing my post "Jet-Black Nova", im noob at this. also u called it perfectly, during my test vs friend's toned-down wind-up (more friendly to newer players) it was strictly luck draw. my plan was to make a simplified deck w' a one-track mind. im making it simple so i can play w' friends and still win-lose, the younger ppl i play get discouraged about their advance level decks losing =( i tell them not to.. cards are powerful when used correctly but w' that in mind im at lost here. the deck is very clumsy.. to start= i use the upstart golden ninja to get utopia & deck thin: the warrior lady is their for deck thinning like generation force, i use her for marauding captain. bacon saver is just a negate for utopia, during my test bacon saver was a waste- using utopia ability then re-xyz utopia into another utopia was easier. the dice-nied is a cheap anti-trick im using... most players i play "ss" so just there to be a nuisance. heart of clear water there to negate infected mail.. im not 100% on that ruling but if correct i was using upstart ninja to attack directly when able (during test play). zubaba knight was a def. killer & sasuke samurai #4 was just another nuisance card. i use double or nothing to buff utopia. plan is to attack w' utopia. when infected mail & tribalrivals on field i make it direct w' no fear of destroying utopia itself. when able i aim for the endgame- attack directly w' utopia + negate it + double of nothing= easy 50k. please help me balance it & make it actually playable, im willing for change & i also have more xyz monsters if needed.--Hyper-jet-space (talk • contribs) 16:52, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
Oh boy ... where to start? You can't even use Utopia with infected mail. Utopia has a RANK, not a LEVEL. Again, Marauding Captain is useful only when he's normal summoned, so don't use Warrior Lady at all. Drop Sasuke Samurai for a second Zubaba Knight as its effect isn't luck-based. There's a general, unspoken rule that any card in a deck has to be useful for more than one combo or it's not worth using. As such, Double or Nothing, Warrior Lady, and such aren't as useful as you'd hope. Also, if you use Utopia's effect, Tribalrivals is useless. You can't use Utopia as overlay material for another Utopia, only for Utopia Ray and Rank-Up cards. The whole deck just screams poor construction to me, I don't know. I ... I'm exasperated at it. Ask Dark Ace for advice, he loves deck building, but I'm just at a loss for words now. Jet-Black Nova (talk • contribs) 17:05, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
Very big strategy flaws in the Deck's idea.
- "Using Utopia's ability and re-Xyz into Utopia" - As Jet-Black Nova mentioned, you cannot use Xyz Monsters as material for a standard Xyz Summon unless a card effect states otherwise. Xyz Monsters don't have Levels largely for that specific reason. In the same sense, you cannot use Infected Mail with any Xyz Monster.
- "Heart of Clear Water is there to negate Infected Mail" - No, no. Please read Infected Mail again. It sends the affected monster to the Graveyard, which is far different from any form of destruction. Heart of Clear Water will not be able to prevent you from losing that monster, and Xyz Tribalrivals won't do that either.
So you'll have to completely rework the Deck from scratch, because your whole game-winning strategy just cannot work. May I suggest, instead, a ZW Deck? Shouldn't be too strong a change from a Utopia-based Deck. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 01:37, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

OAKLAND GARDENS A pedestrian was physically assaulted and robbed on his way to a nearby park Sunday afternoon, police said.
The unidentified victim was near 56th Avenue and 202nd Street around 4 p.m. when a gray Nissan Altima pulled up to him, police said. Two unidentified men got out of the sedan and hit the pedestrian in the head.
The perpetrators then knocked the man down and stole his T-Mobile Sidekick cell phone, according to police. The men then fled eastbound in their car, which had a New York plate that began with "DEC," police said.

Stephen Colbert Destroys FOX News Calling Gabby Douglas' Olympic Outfit Anti-American
On August 2, 16-year-old Gabby Douglas became the first African-American woman to win a gold medal in individual all-around gymnastics while competing in the 2012 Summer Olympics. And if there's one thing FOX News' audience hates, it's black people winning things for the first time, so here's Alisyn Camerota calling Gabby's outfit anti-American because it didn't explode into red, white and blue fireworks as the ashes floated down in the form Jesus's face. Via The Huffington Post:
"You know, Gabby had that great moment, and everyone was so excited, and she's in hot pink — and that's her prerogative," Camerota said. Webb, who hosts a program on Sirius/XM's "Patriot" channel, wondered, "What's wrong with showing some pride?" He likened the uniform choice to a "kind of soft anti-American feeling that Americans can't show their exceptionalism." Camerota pointed out how other nations, like China, wore nationalistic colors.
Above, Stephen Colbert does a much better job than I would tackling this shit, so in the meantime, let me beat all the racists to the punch by posting a link to some black women criticizing Gabby's hair on Twitter. Because a couple of catty bitches being catty is the same thing as a national news network pandering to its millions of viewers that, yes, most black people are strange, foreign threats who secretly hate America.

All-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive systems are designed to provide the maximum amount of torque to each wheel without causing the tyre to slip. All-wheel drive means full-time 4-wheel drive. This system typically can't be switched off and is designed for all types of surfaces. 4-Wheel drive usually refers to a part-time system that can be switched on or off. It is meant for low traction conditions only. Engaging 4-wheel drive causes the transfer case to lock the front drive shaft to the rear one so that each axle receives half of the torque produced by the engine. This gives you better traction than a 2-wheel drive vehicle.
At Hitech Auto Electrical and Mechanical Auto Service we are an independent expert in servicing and repairs of all 4-wheel drive vehicles. We combine years of experience with our brand new state-of-the-art service and repair centre. As an independent 4-wheel drive expert, we can save you up to 25% more than a dealership service centre. Whether it's transmission maintenance, CV joint, drive shaft, broken axles or fluid replacement, our team of 4-wheel drive specialists know how to look after your 4x4 vehicle to ensure it runs at peak performance, with uncompromising safety.

Fox 75th Anniversary
Package Exploration
Package Exploration
This was a job I worked on that involved coming up with concepts for an unconventional package for the whole collection, as well has having individual line looks that would carry over to the big collection. Below are some of the explorations I worked on.
The big collection box was to be made from "Curious Touch" (suede-like) texture. Separated by Blu Ray collection and a standard DVD collection, the two- piece design would reveal a book that would enclose the movie titles. When the book is removed from the box, the printed fabric on the bottom would have the movie titles of each of the films printed in various fonts. I wanted to emphasize having clean look on the outside, with a contrast of complex fonts on the inside.
The line looks needed to work with movie bundles in a Blu Ray amaray, individual DVD amarays, as well as a DVD O-card. Everything from the logo, to the package was done in either illustrator or photoshop for finishing.
Thank You!

Tips for Making Perl Programs Run FasterFebruary 24th, 2007
In my daily work I tend to manipulate fairly large datasets, such as Wikipedia, U.S. Patents, Netflix Ratings, and Imdb. Here's a few tricks I've come across so that you don't lose time waiting for your programs to finish.
- Use Storable
- If you need to a save a hash, array, or more complex data structure to use in its entirety at a later time, it is around 4 times faster to use storable than to read/write it from a text file. Its simple to use, just two calls…
- store(\%hash, $filename);
- $hashref = retrieve($filename);
- Use a Berkeley Db for random access
- Berkeley Db's are associative databases (as opposed to relational databases like MySql, Postgresql, etc). And they are quite useful.
- Whereas we want to use Storable when we will be later loading the entire data structure back into memory, we want to use BDBs when we will only be performing random access at a later time. So, for example, lets say I have all the IMDB movie titles in a hash, and I want to save it to disk. But I know that later on I am only going to want to look up one or two titles at a time, so that's a case where I want to use a BDB.
- There's two modules for BDBs to choose: DB_File or BerkeleyDB. I usually use DB_File.
- Use Unix Grep
- This might sound a bit off the wall, but when you have your data in a file, rather than reading it in and parsing it using Perl regular expressions, it can be up to 100 times faster to call Grep or AWK. Grep is particularly useful when your task is simply to lookup something in a text file. In general, when trying to speed up code, don't be afraid to take advantage of the operating system.
- system("command", $input, @files);
- Patterns for Storing Hash Structures
- This tip is somewhat domain dependent. I often find myself using 2d hashes, primarily because I work with data represented as graphs (i.e. a set of edges represented as node-node-weight). So these 2d hashes look like {id1}->{id2}=value.
- When writing such a hash out to text I'll use the command chr(1) to generate a delimiter, and directly write "id1 id2 value\n" (with chr(1) instead of spaces) per entry.
- When using Storable, I don't need to do anything special.
- When using a BDB, there is no such thing as a 2d hash. Either one has to create multiple BDBs, or, usually the better option, is to convert the hash to {id}=id2a|value|id2b|value… and use split when accessing the data. Again, I like to use chr(1) instead of | as a delimiter.

OPINION >> Razorback lineman preparing for finale
Special to the Leader
IN SHORT: After injuries delayed his time in the spotlight, Arkansas tackle Zach Tubbs is ready to lead the Hogs O-line.
FAYETTEVILLE Football isnt a marathon. Football isnt a sprint.
Its both. And when you are 6-6, over 330 pounds and coming off two years of a broken ankle and blood clots, you might not feel too good about your chances for either. Especially with the sprint-endurance part getting all the faster and more fatiguing with some no-huddle added to the Arkansas offense by new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.
A beleaguered giant can despair or smile. Zac Tubbs smiles. He smiles, that is, when the Arkansas fifth-year senior offensive tackle isnt huffing and puffing up the Razorback Stadium steps after lifting weights and more running. The Cullman, Ala., native does this all the while dieting like a model told to fit a swimsuit now two sizes too small or else.
And thats already after dieting from once being above 370.
Hes 330 trying to get down to 320, coach Houston Nutt said. And he keeps at it after the injuries hes had. I like his attitude!
Its the only attitude to have if you want to play, Tubbs believes. And you can believe after two years of injury-enforced idleness, Zac Tubbs wants to play. Even if it means going through the marathon 12-game season, 14 games he hopes if the Hogs can add the SEC Championship game and a bowl game, without even much break between plays when Nutt and Malzahn order no huddle.
Its hard, Tubbs said, bathed in sweat after a Friday workout, but all I have to do is get back in the groove and get in shape. Ill get in shape. We all will be ready to go for the no-huddle.
Just having Tubbs available to go at all would seem worth huddling to accommodate him.
Arkansas biggest offensive lineman was supposed to be Arkansas best once the big man he understudied, two-time All-American and Camden native Shawn Andrews, moved on early to the pros.
As a true freshman in 2002, Tubbs played the entire second half against South Carolina when Andrews was injured and started the following game against Louisiana-Monroe.
When Andrews turned professional in 2003 before the Independence Bowl, Tubbs started that 27-14 victory over Missouri. He started the first five games of 2004.
Then disaster struck during an Oct. 5 open date practice. He fractured his left ankle in two places, underwent surgery, and during the portion of recovery when he couldnt move around much, suffered a blood clot in his leg that went to his lung.
Needless to say, Tubbs did not practice the spring of 2005.
But by August he thought he was well and could practice, then hurt the ankle again. Knowing he couldnt play after a few plays of a season-ending debut three games into the year against Southern California, Tubbs preserved a hardship season for 2006.
He practiced last spring but certainly wasnt ready for no-huddle; not that many linemen were. But he practiced every practice while his weight kept dropping.
Thats what Im proudest about, strength coach Don Decker said, hes always had trouble with his body weight. But hes held a high 340 now for eight or nine months without gaining weight when he goes home for Christmas break or spring break. His conditioning level is getting better. Hes moving better, bending better. Zac doesnt have to wear the brace any more on his ankle.
Hes good to go, trainer Dean Weber said.
He had a lot of issues, Weber said, but hes overcome all that and is doing well. As far as we are concerned, there dont appear any limitations on him at all.
That will include no-huddle, Tubbs vows.
We werent used to it in the spring, Tubbs said last Friday, but we know it now.
Hes fixing to know it a lot better, Decker says smiling.
Tubbs knows all about that, the simulated no-huddle crash course in summer conditioning before the Razorbacks report Aug. 4 for official practice commencing Aug. 5.
We are going to start drills on it next week, Tubbs said last Friday. Its all part of it to get our legs in shape. I feel real good and ready to go.
Aside from the no-huddle, Tubbs has had to familiarize himself with the new pass-blocking scheme of Malzahns offense.
Something is comfortably familiar, though, for Tubbs and the rest of veteran offensive line coach Mike Markusons linemen.
They still get to block for sensational sophomore tailbacks Darren McFadden and Felix Jones.
Any time you have those two guys back there and little Mike Smith (the redshirt freshman tailback injured in preseason last year), too, Tubbs said ... just give them a crease, and they make big things happen. Im really excited about that. Theres a lot to be excited for.

|Wildcats shutout Liberty-Eylau
|Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Writer
March 7, 2006 - After taking care of the Liberty-Eylau Leopards, 9-1, in their first meeting of the year, the Sulphur Springs Wildcats came back and scored a 10-0 victory over the Leopards at Gerald Prim Stadium Monday night.
"I thought we played better than we did against Commerce," said Wildcat coach Andy Holt. "We did a better job of finding the feet of our forwards and when we do that it springs a lot of opportunities. We can create a lot more chances and we did an outstanding job of playing balls into the corners. I hate to revert back to Mount Pleasant, but I don't think we did a very good job of that and that is something we will have to do in the playoffs."
Wildcat forward Daniel Santillan scored a hat trick, while teammates Spenser Daniel, Chris Rodgers and Blake Holly had two goals each and Oscar Marroquin had one goal. This was the fifth goal in two games for Santillan.
Holt praised the play of Santillan, Daniel, Rodgers, Holly and Rolando Larios.
"Daniel did a good job and just like Chris on top are working well together and doing a good job," the coach said.
"Spenser did a good job and I think when he calms down and calms the game down and distributes the ball we become a better team. I think when he, Blake and Rolando are in the middle and are able to win that area then we are able to win the game."
Sulphur Springs will now prepare for Pleasant Grove Saturday afternoon and Holt said it will be a tough game for them in Texarkana.
"That is going to be a good game and I think Pleasant Grove will be ready to go. Last time, we beat them 6-0 but it was 0-0 after the first half and I am afraid that we won't have Graham (Northcutt) because he will probably be at the track meet," Holt said. "That is going to leave a void in the back so we are going to need somebody to step up and play a position back there."
Holly opened up the scoring for the Wildcats before fans could get comfortable as he nailed a shot past the goalie only three minutes into the game.
Santillan then got into the scoring column as he crossed up the Leopards' goalie from eight yards out for a 2-0 lead.
Sulphur Springs held a 6-0 lead after the first half of play as they controlled the ball on their side of the field for the first 40 minutes of the game.
One of the most athletic goals came from Santillan in the second half of play as he completely twisted himself around and connected with the ball into the back of the net for an 8-0 lead.
Daniel scored both of his goals in the second half as he opened the second half with a blast from 20 yards out and then capped off the scoring with 25:37 remaining in the contest.
The Wildcats dominated the shots-on-goal category as Sulphur Springs outshot Liberty-Eylau, 29-1, as Jeremy Potter and Victor Medina were able to preserve the shutout.
Holt said for the Wildcats to continue the streak they are on and to be the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, they need to not let up with style of play they showed against L-E.
"We need to win, and if we lose then we will be the No. 2 seed unless Mount Pleasant loses," the coach said. "We are in control of our destiny and as long as we win we will be fine, and if we do like we did tonight I think we will finish out the second half of district like we did the first half."

Being in the middle of Pennsylvania has its ups and downs. We are surrounded by fun, fashionable college students, but hours away from the best cities and large shopping malls. Because of this, many Penn State students opt to online shop. TOBI has become a popular site at our school because of its diverse rage of clothing, low prices and constant discounts. Another favorite is ASOS, especially because of their free shipping and return policy. The days of paying for shipping and handling and paying for something to be returned because it doesn't fit is coming to an end. Shopping is becoming more convenient than ever and can be delivered in our hands within a few business day. Find out how this Fashionista incorporates her favorite online stores with her outfits.
Name: Kristina Coscio
Major: Supply Chain
Year: Sophomore
CF: What are you wearing?
KK: My sweater is from TOBI, and my scarf is from ASOS. I also got this vest at Old Navy.
CollegeFashionista: Who is your fashion inspiration?
Kristina Coscio: It's hard to put a finger on one individual that I model my style after. To be completely honest I think I get most of my fashion inspirations from my sisters in my sorority. Living all together I am always seeing cool, new trendy pieces that make me think outside of the box when I'm getting dressed whether it's in the morning for class or in the evening for a night out.
CF: How would you describe your style?
KK: Is TOBI a style? Because if it is, that's what mine would be classified as. I really like how their clothes range from classy and conservative, to fun and risky. I order a lot of my clothes from their website weather it's crop tops for going out or sweater for cold Penn State days.
CF: How do you remain fashionable in the cold?
KK: Since I started college, I have learned to love dressing in layers. My favorite thing to wear in the winter are sweaters, scarves and vests. With the right amount of each, you have an endless combinations of easy outfits! Recently I have stepped out of the normal black and navy blue vests and have purchased some in white, purple and fur. They are defiantly a staple in my winter fashion.
CF: What are you looking forward to wearing in the spring?
KK: I am looking forward to bringing out the floral prints and bright colors for the nice weather. I love pastel colored pants and can't wait until they are all over campus this spring!
How To: Wear this outfit in the spring season with just a few steps. The vest is great for the cold weather, but with the sun shining, just go with the sweater. Pair the sweater with floral leggings and, my new favorite staple that you can wear all year long, Dr. Martens.

Jet Li finally confirmed his involvement in Jackie Chan's "The J&J Project."
At last it is confirmed. Answering the heavy questions on the collaboration between him and fellow Asian star Jackie Chan, Jet Li has unveiled to ComingSoon.net that he indeed will join the actor to share scenes together in a big screen feature tentatively titled "The J&J Project."
"Next April, we're going to make a movie," he revealed during an interview on his latest film, "Fearless." "Everybody's waiting for the producer and the director to announce." On the other hand, Li, however, refused to give further information on the project, keeping his mouth shut tightly when being asked about the plot or the premise of the flick. "Don't be selfish! Let them tell the world!" so he shouted with a smile.
Trained in wushu since the age of eight which opened his way to become a martial arts film star, Li first stepped into Hollywood through a brief role in Mel Gibson's 1998 vehicle of "Lethal Weapon 4." He next is slated to appear in Lionsgate's "Rogue (2007)" alongside Jason Statham, John Lone, and Devon Aoki.

Leaflet Printing - Cheapest and quite a few Effective Ways of Promotion
Leaflets are small papers distributed and also other things like brochures, newspapers, magazines etc. These can be printed on different paper quality also, like 130gsm, premium 170gsm paper or premium 300gsm. Leaflets bring many promotional and advertising activities. Online printing enables various printing selections for leaflets. These may improve sales various means, like door to door delivery, promotional printing, magazine leaflets and business leaflets.
Flyers are printed on various paper sizes, like A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, DL etc. The A4 leaflets currently have some advantages as a result of their size. These have a very size of 210 x 297 mm (in both portrait and landscape style). For online printing, the dimensions may be chosen as desired from the client. These give an additional space for packing all the required information to become presented in the leaflet. They're greater than another leaflets, and so are easily visible from your distance. Leaflets on this size are premium leaflets, and so are widely used for promotional activities.
One other sizing is the A5 size. These contain the size 148 x 210 mm (in both portrait and landscape). These leaflets are half in space as opposed to A4 ones, and they are the most popular. As a result of their smaller size, they're able to be easily slipped inside other papers, like newspapers or magazines, and also have very less cost at the same time. These also carry a lot of information.
Another size which is desirable to buyers is the A6 size.

HTC to stick with Windows Phone 7
3.5By Nigel Chiwaya February 11, 2011 04:16 PM
Htcpedia news:
You may have noticed that Nokia and Microsoft hooked up today and promised to have many Windows Phone 7-powered babies. But that doesn't mean that HTC is leaving town.
In a statement to PC Mag, HTC Spokesperson Keith Nowak said "this doesn't affect our plans or commitment to Windows Phone. If anything, having Nokia join into the Windows Phone ecosystem validates our decision to commit to the platform."
Of course, I don't know why anyone thought HTC would be leaving the Windows Phone 7 game. They may not be selling as well as their Android phones, but HTC and Microsoft have been tight partners since way back in the way back. I'd be shocked to see them abandon Windows Phone 7
