mtoma - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkI'm amazed how his articles roll, on and on and on. Mr. Sklavos must be the most prolific writer on this site. Cases are one of my favorite topic and I am pleased. Although the competition is high, I can count only 2 models who can please me. Only one thing would be desired: keeping as long as possible the same test bed over a long period of time. Which, for the moment I don't see here happening. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkI'm going to try and maintain it as long as humanly possible. I'm not PSYCHED with the case testbed I'm using now, but it's at least a good starting point, I think. I HATE the idea of switching over to a new one (and thus breaking continuity with previous reviews). Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, July 27, 2012 - link"Which, for the moment I don't see here happening."
This isn't a review of the case. It is the review of a completely built PC by a boutique (Origin) based on the Bitfenix Prodigy case, which was reviewed here:

mtoma - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkIt is not he review of a case, of course. But, one can extract bits and pieces of information, about: the BitFenix Prodigy, the Asus motherboard, of the video card. Different people have different fixations (mine being the PC case), different buying needs on a particular moment, and collecting all sorts of information, helps. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Sunday, July 29, 2012 - linkI'm supremely enjoying seeing the amd 7970 and 7950 getting utterly stomped in every game at 1920x1080, instead of the amd favoring 1920x1200 this website always uses.
I was right, and here is the proof above. Reply
Olaf van der Spek - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkNo sound measurements? Reply
geniekid - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkThat's the first thing I looked for as well. A box this small running a high end GPU is going to either overheat with extended use or be very noisy, and it would be good to see where this guy stands.
The author does point out that it gets noisy under load. Reply
cosminmcm - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkThere is a mistake in the specifications box, the i5 doesn't have HT. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkFixed. Stupid oversight on my part. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkI completely agree! I have an adapter for a slim line optical drive (BluRay for me) and a 2.5" HDD with 2 USB ports. It is much more useful than just having a large ODD. It is also smaller than most normal sized ODDs I found which helps with keeping my TJ08-E innards clean and tidy. Reply
dman3k - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkCan someone tell me what psu they are using in here?
I got a Silverstone SFF PSU like Anandtech recommended, and now I have to buy molex to SATA power adaptors because it does not have enough SATA power plugs and that the cable is too short if you have an ODD and three HDD. Reply
HCAIT - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkThey say it in the specs on the first page. 550W Corsair TX550M Reply
HisDivineOrder - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkAlso shows you what PSU in the picture of the layout. Reply
zero2dash - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkLooks very clean and nicely built. Reply
headbox - Saturday, July 28, 2012 - linkyou mean "Looks like an Apple PowerMac G3 from 13 years ago" Reply
sulu1977 - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkI'd prefer to have most of the USB 3.0 and eSATA ports in the front, not the back or the side. Messing around the back of the case is usually a pain in the donkey. Reply
xweb - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkThe one thing I look for in these reviews that is missing is sound measurements. Does this thing sound like a blow dryer under load? Reply
cknobman - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkI would buy this thing in a heartbeat!!!
It really does look like one of the most well designed, thought out, and executed LAN builds I have ever seen.
No signs of cost cutting anywhere and IF you can really get that configuration for $1499 it really is sold at a reasonable price.
WOW Reply
ImSpartacus - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkGrabbing everything from Newegg (except the disk drive, OS & OOS case) comes to $1248 (using coupons). Toss in $80 for the case and about $30 for the LG GT60N disk drive. and we're past $1350. Then add in a $40 Windows 8 (or retroactive 7) license with the double upgrade method and we're at $1400.
So Origin gets about $100 to build, overclock and warranty this machine. If I had the money, this would be a tempting purchase. Reply
graf1k - Saturday, July 28, 2012 - linkWell, they are going to get a better price on all those parts than you or I would buying @ retail from a company like Newegg, but still it's a competitive price either way. Reply
nbcbubba - Friday, July 27, 2012 - linkGood article - why, at this price and configuration, isn't this a "best buy award" - or something similar? Reply
j03h4gLund - Saturday, July 28, 2012 - linkyup Reply
bhima - Saturday, July 28, 2012 - linkOrigin isn't known for being price competitive, but this LANbox is definitely that. I concur with the other posters: Can you run this through your normal case sound tests just so we get an idea how loud this baby is.
Heck if I hadn't built my own pc already I would seriously consider this. Reply

bobeth - Saturday, July 28, 2012 - linkI'm very surprised at the price, seems awfully reasonable.. Reply
Pappnaas - Sunday, July 29, 2012 - linkFor a LAN box this might not be a big concern. But for any home use i'd wanted to know before sinking 1.5k $$. Reply

Quincunx - Monday, July 30, 2012 - linkWait I'm a bit confused..consumers can't get your review config for $1500.. As configured it's $1,882, making it a gouge, not a great deal?
Assuming you're not afraid to OC yourself, you can build a comparable system for about $1,300. This is with an arguably better PSU, though I went with the ASRock Z77 instead of the ASUS.

ELPCU - Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - linkSo, Origin desires to put their logo on the case rather than fancy Bitfenix symbol,
but not willing to change color of ODD+MultiCard reader?
I can see component choice are pretty decent, but Still.
I just don't understand why do they go for BLACK odd + multicard reader for WHITE case.
It is very odd.
AND, I would not recommend this much high spec system for small case.
It makes system pretty damn noisy for sure.
though, considering GTX660Ti or 660 is not out on market, VGA choice is understandable. Reply
trimspababy - Saturday, October 13, 2012 - linkgood article--persuaded me to buy this over a month ago. not sure what originpc's track record has been with this build but I had to wait at least 4 weeks from the time I ordered and I'm still waiting with various "minor" delays. anyone else has experience purchasing this build from originpc. this build doesn't look to be available anymore--link provided brings you to a build but cannot select the same features in specs above. not sure what that could mean. noticeably, graphics card is a 580 and not 670.
hoping for no more delays and a product with no problems upon receipt Reply

Members of FDA's Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Devices Advisory Panel recently explained they see little value in most patients receiving metal-on-metal replacement hips. The panel was asked to discuss the current status of such replacement hips in light of increasing reports of patients having problems with them.
FDA has not talked about a recall of the devices and the panelists stopped short of calling for one. But most panelists said there were few, if any, cases where they would recommend implanting the devices. "I do not use metal-on-metal hips, and I can see no reason to do so," said committee chair William Rohr.
Recent data gathered from foreign registries show the devices fail at a higher rate than older implants. That information comes on top of nearly 17,000 reports to FDA of problems with the implants, which sometimes require invasive surgery to replace them. Experts say that the pain and inflammation reported by patients is usually caused by tiny metal particles that seep into the joint, damaging the surrounding tissue and bone. The long-term effects of elevated metal levels in the bloodstream are not clear, though some studies have suggested links to neurological and heart problems.
Agency staff told the committee that patients complaining of pain and other symptoms should get regular x-rays and blood testing for metal levels. However, panelists reportedly noted problems with the accuracy of blood tests and the difficulties of interpreting the results. There are no standard diagnostic kits for sale that test for chromium and other metals. For patients who are not experiencing pain, panelists said annual x-rays would be sufficient to monitor their implants.
FDA scientists say the studies will help "fill in the blanks" on a number of scientific questions, including the long-term effects of metal particles. But public health advocates said it could take a decade before that information is available.
Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, Joshua Rising of the Pew Charitable Trusts and colleagues said that "there is now compelling evidence that these implants fail at a higher rate than hip prostheses made of other materials; indeed, one type of metal-on-metal hip has a failure rate of nearly 50% at six years."
Critics, including an independent panel of experts at the Institute of Medicine, reportedly have expressed concern that metal-on-metal implants may have been approved too quickly under FDA's "fast-track" program for medical devices.
Responding to concerns, in May 2011 FDA ordered manufacturers to carry out post-marketing studies, tracking the safety of the implants in recipients. But in the New England Journal article, Rising reported that most of these studies have yet to begin and their first results will take years to arrive.
Metal-on-metal devices have already been recalled twice. In 2008, Zimmer's Durom Acetabular Component, was recalled because instructions were not clear. And in 2010, a DePuy Orthopaedics device was recalled because more patients than expected had to have new surgeries, according to FDA. Earlier this month, a device called the Smith & Nephew R3 Acetabular System was taken off the market because the company said it was "not satisfied with the clinical results of this component."
"Keeping these metal-on-metal hips on the market for the next five to 10 years while research is conducted is not ethical," said Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Research Center for Women & Families, during a public comment session at the meeting. "If the companies want to sell metal-on-metal hips, they should be required to prove their safety first."

The improving housing market is reducing the number of homes headed for foreclosure. Third-quarter data from RealtyTrac shows that lenders initiated foreclosure on the fewest number of homes since 2006.
Foreclosure starts were down 39 percent from the third quarter of 2012. On an annual basis, foreclosure starts were down in 38 states. The slowdown is attributed to rising home prices, which move more homeowners out of negative equity; job growth; and fewer troubled mortgages.
Starting fewer and finishing more
Although fewer homes are entering the foreclosure process, lenders have been stepping up repossessions, resulting in a rise in the number of foreclosed properties. From second quarter to third, completed foreclosures rose 7 percent, according to RealtyTrac.
"My general take is that since home values are increasing, it now makes sense for banks to accelerate the repossession of homes and put the homes on the market as quickly as possible to minimize their carrying costs and losses," says John Walsh, president of Total Mortgage Services in Milford, Conn. "I also think the rise in home values is making it less worthwhile for people to let their homes go into foreclosure."
Foreclosures reached a peak in 2010 and have been declining since then. Walsh expects that trend to continue. "Since pretty much all signs point to a housing recovery that is accelerating, I think we will continue to see more normal foreclosure activity going forward."

Steelers can't keep up with Ravens returner Jones
The one thing Jacoby Jones knows about returning a kick for a touchdown is that you never know when it's going to happen.
"It happens when you least expect it," Jones said.
And it happens when it's needed the most.
Jones returned a first-quarter punt 63 yards for what turned out to be Baltimore's only touchdown, as the Ravens took control of the AFC North with a 13-10 win over the Steelers at Heinz Field.
It was the first regular-season punt return for a TD by an opponent in the 12-year history of Heinz Field. New England's Troy Brown returned a punt for a touchdown in the 2001 AFC Championship Game.
"Those are the hidden points that makes the difference in games. It was huge," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "I am proud of Jacoby and the entire special teams."
Jones also averaged 29 yards on two kickoff returns.
"Jacoby's been huge," Harbaugh said.
The Ravens signed Jones late in the spring to help supplement the Ravens wide receiving crew along with return kicks.
The Houston Texans had seen enough of the 27-year-old Jones. His two fumbles (one lost) in a playoff loss to the Ravens last January seemed to seal his fate in Houston.
Now, Jones has been nothing but a spark for the Ravens' special teams.
Jones has returned a kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown against Oakland and 108 yards against Dallas. He felt it was only a matter of time that he returned a punt for a score.
"We have two kickoff returns, it's time to have a punt return," Jones said. "That is what we emphasized this week. We worked on it real hard and (we) hit like it did in practice."
Jones fielded Drew Butler's punt at Baltimore's 37, delayed a second until his blockers were in place, and raced up the near sidelines before cutting across the field and outracing Butler to the far corner of the end zone. Only Baron Batch had a chance to tackle him around midfield.
"After that, I did what I do and that's run as fast as possible," Jones said.
It was the first punt return the Steelers have allowed all season.
"It was a good effort by him," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "They did a nice job, they double-viced our gunners there and when they do that, the tackle has to come from the core of the punt formation and it didn't. Obviously, a significant football play."

which begins with quotations from Mark Twain and Florence King, respectively:
"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be"; and
'Very' is the most useless word in the English language and can always come out. More than useless, it is treacherous because it invariably weakens what it is intended to strengthen".
The article goes on to include this exhortation by N.H. Kleinbaum to
avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys--to woo women--and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won't do in your essays.
And yes, this is followed by 45 erudite words that are superb (to the point of causing a glistening in the eyes of inveterate verbivores) alternatives to the plebian "very".
(To whet the reader's appetite, one should substitute "terrified" for "very afraid"; "furious" for "very angry"; and "atrocious" for "very bad".

Did you know?
Fossilised dinosaur eggs from the Triassic period were found in Golden Gate Highlands National Park in 1973.
Loved for its unusual scenery and renowned for its golden aura as the sun illuminates its sandstone cliffs and outcrops, the Golden Gate Highlands National Park in the Free State province lies equidistant from Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein, and is the ideal escape for those longing to stretch their legs, breathe fresh mountain air and allow nature to restore their balance.
Situated in the western foothills of the Maluti Mountains, close to the Lesotho border, Golden Gate is South Africa's only grassland national park.
The park's most notable features, aside from its variety of resident grasses, are its extraordinary sandstone cliffs and outcrops – coloured in multi-hued bands and eroded by the sands and rains of time.
Millions of years ago, the area was a swampy delta ruled by dinosaurs. Later, wind and sand scoured the landscape to desert, and sculpted the park's renowned golden-coloured cliffs. Finally, volcanic activity capped the landscape with dark peaks, known as Drakensberg basalt, and mineral-rich soils gave rise to the vast multi-species grassland biome for which the park was proclaimed – there are more than 50 species of grass in the park.
Today black wildebeest, eland, blesbok, oribi, springbok and Burchell's zebra graze its wild, dappled pastures, and rare bearded vultures circle the skies above the lost pathways of the San hunter-gathers, who once dwelt in the park's caves.
Explore the largest of these, the Cathedral Cave, on a guided walk. In this cavern, where Basotho worshippers and Anglo-Boer war refugees once sought shelter in their own times, a colony of rare sacred ibis breeds.
Hike up the Brandwag buttress, or Ribokkop, the highest point in the park; spend the night in the wilderness on the two-day, one-night Rhebok Hiking Trail; visit the Vulture Restaurant; horse ride, mountain bike or go on a game drive; and make time to stop so you can absorb the park's panoramic views and magnificent stillness.

How to get here
From Johannesburg: take the N3 Heidelberg/Durban road. Cross the Vaal River before Villiers, and take the left slipway on to the R26. Turn right at the bridge that crosses over the N3. Follow the R26 to Frankfort. Turn right at the T-junction before Frankfort. Pass Frankfort, and cross the Wilge River. At the Reitz/Tweeling signboard, turn left. Follow the R26, driving straight through Bethlehem on the N5 Durban road. About 5km out of Bethlehem, turn right onto the Clarens/Golden Gate road (R712).
From Durban: follow the N3 from Durban to Harrismith. Take the N5 to Kestell, and then to Bethlehem. Before Bethlehem, look out for the Clarens/Golden Gate (R712) turn-off. Turn left and follow the road to the park.
From Bloemfontein: follow the N1 to Winburg; turn right on to the N5 to Bethlehem. Drive through Bethlehem and turn right on to the N5 Durban road. About 5km out of Bethlehem, turn right onto the Clarens/Golden Gate road (R712). Alternatively, take the N8 Ladybrand route. This is longer, but more scenic, and takes you through the towns of Clocolan and Ficksburg.
Best time to visit
Spring (September/October) and summer (December to February) are the best times to explore the park. Those who don't mind cold weather and enjoy mountain snow choose to visit in winter.
Around the area
Trout fishing; golf; hot air ballooning; white-water rafting; motorbike, quad-bike or mountain-bike rides; and visiting the artists' village of Clarens.
Tours to do
A visit to the Basotho Cultural Village will introduce you to the people who call these mountains home. Take a walk through the Van Reenen family graveyard.
Length of stay
Golden Gate Highlands National Park is suitable for anything from a half-day excursion to a week-long stay.
What to pack
Golden Gate is prone to sudden changes in weather. Summer is mild and dry, often with afternoon thunderstorms (November to February). Winters are cold, and temperatures can plunge to below freezing temperatures. Snow is a regular occurrence in the park in winter. It being mountainous, winds can sometimes be severe.
Pack sturdy walking shoes; cool, light clothing for summer; and warm clothing for winter. Hikers require a hat, sun block and sufficient water. A camera and binoculars are recommended.
Where to stay
Stay at the Brandwag Hotel, or go for self-catered rondavels (circular huts), guest cabins or camping at the Glen Reenan Rest Camp. Escape 2 200m above sea level to the secluded eco-log cabins of the Highlands Mountain Retreat, or stay in the historic Noordt Brabant self-catering guest house – all inside the park. Nearby Clarens has plenty of accommodation too.
What to eat
Try a traditional lunch when you go on a cultural tour of the Basotho village. Stop at farm stalls en route for home-made goods and fresh farm produce. Clarens offers food from Free State boerekos (farmers' food) to euro-café snack-chic.
What's happening
The annual Cherry Festival takes place in nearby Ficksburg around November; the Clarens Mountain Bike Challenge happens in May; and Fouriesburg hosts an Asparagus Festival around September.
Best buys
The clear light of the eastern Free State has attracted many renowned artists to Clarens. You'll find their work in a number of galleries in the town.

CURRENT READING: BORIS VIAN: BORIS VIAN'S MANUAL OF SAINT GERMAIN DES PRES:RIZZOLI BOOKSSubmitted by Wayne on Sat, 2008-09-13 18:52.
Did the Saint Germain Des Pres of legendary French provacateur/novelist/playwright/jazz musician/singer Boris Vian really exist? Or was it just another variation in his theme of reality bending into fiction? Those questions profilerate in his Manual Of Saint Germain des Pres, a dreamworld of habitues in post-war Paris swirling to jazz, battling their arguments in existentialist salons and stirring up new strains in art, theatre and literature. The cast of intellectually glamorous types include Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Jean Cocteau, Jean Genet, Alberto Giacometti, Juliette Greco, Raymond Queneau, Jacques Prévert, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Before we ever heard his debut LP, Velvet Changes, Atlanta-based Phil Jones, who records as Dog Bite, was was introduced to us as "Chaz from Toro Y Moi's favorite band."
To the extent that name-dropping Toro Y Moi has become shorthand to denote a kind of hazy, recursive, sun-drenched nostalgia pop—we won't use the c-word, but you know what we mean—it's not a surprising comparison. All the components are in place: the dreamy, repetitive vocal lines, the synth, the summery lyrical referents ("The ocean is leaving my house," Jones intones on one track; another is titled "Super Soaker"). Add in the fact that Jones spent months as the touring keyboardist for Washed Out, and you might feel pretty sure you know what you're getting into.
But there's more to Dog Bite than beach-barbecue music: unexpected turns into heavy, shoegazey guitar work, a dose or two of unresolved, minor-key existential dread, and at least one song that draws inspiration from our favorite creepy Peter Weir movie—"Native America," which we're very excited to premiere below, along with our chat with Jones about the album.
ALEXANDRIA SYMONDS: You've been recording as Dog Bite for several years, longer than you've been working with Washed Out. Is it weird to put out this solo debut, when you had this other identity popped in the middle?
PHIL JONES: Well, I just never stopped working on Dog Bite stuff, even when we were touring with Washed Out. I didn't have a laptop, so I couldn't really make anything, but we had an acoustic guitar, so on breaks or whatever, setting up, I would just mess around on the guitar.
SYMONDS: So you didn't feel like you were making a conscious switch back and forth between two different sides of your musical persona.
JONES: No, not all. Washed Out was more of a live band, so we'd play the songs every day and we'd have fun with them. But when we weren't doing that, I would just sneak away and do Dog Bite stuff.
SYMONDS: Since you didn't have access to your computer, or any of the toys and samples you'd be able to work with normally, do you feel like Velvet Changes came from a sense of restriction?
JONES: Definitely. If I had still had my laptop at the time, I probably wouldn't have learned to play the guitar the way I did, or even bother to really go into it.
SYMONDS: [laughs] Have you thought about trying to do something similar for your next bunch of material, in terms of forcing yourself to work in a medium that's unfamiliar or at first uncomfortable?
JONES: Yeah, that's what I kind of like to do for each album—change up the sound a little bit, but still maintain the Dog Bite sound, if you want to call it that. I feel like the next record will be different than Velvet Changes, and the next one after that will be different.
SYMONDS: The song we're premiering is "Native America"—how did that track in particular came together?
JONES: Well, I guess that song was mostly centered around this movie called Picnic at Hanging Rock.
SYMONDS: Oh, great movie.
JONES: Yeah, like the first line... The lady dressed in all red, the teacher, there's a line about her in there. I kind of started to think of what happened to them afterwards, after they disappeared, it just kind of came through. I think it was one of the last songs on the whole album, too.
SYMONDS: I would never have guessed that.
JONES: No, that's good. I like putting little references in there and seeing if anybody notices. I mean, they're not very bold or anything.
SYMONDS: The line in the song, "Let's not rush," repeated over and over, is a good way into the tone of the album. It's naturally unhurried music—I don't ever feel like I'm waiting for the bridge or something with one of your songs.
JONES: Oh, good. I get stuck on sounds, basically. I just like to hear those go over and over again. I see them more just as a bunch of loops that I put together, but they somehow kind of mesh together and form this very fluid kind of motion. I never want to try and break them up too hard and get too artsy with it.
SYMONDS: Good, I'm glad to hear it. Can you tell me a little about your art background?
JONES: I've just been doing art since I can remember. I went to art school after I graduated from high school. It just didn't really work out, because I really wasn't focused at all. And then I came back to Atlanta and started working at this art gallery. Then I was hanging out in Atlanta a lot, and I started getting into music like crazy after that.
SYMONDS: Do you feel like you've switched over pretty completely, or are you still working on art on the side?
JONES: Yeah, any artwork associated with Dog Bite, or video stuff, I'm definitely heavily involved. The artwork wise, I do it all by myself. I'm usually still working on stuff all of the time. Hopefully, some of it will be coming out this year.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: What Is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition that affects children and adolescents and can continue into adulthood for some.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that 3% to 5% of children have ADHD. Some experts, though, say ADHD may occurs in 8% to 10% of school-aged children. Experts also question whether kids really outgrow ADHD. What that means is that this disorder may be more common in adults than previously thought.
Children with ADHD generally have problems paying attention or concentrating. They can't seem to follow directions and are easily bored or frustrated with tasks. They also tend to move constantly and are impulsive, not stopping to think before they act. These behaviors are generally common in children. But they occur more often than usual and are more severe in a child with ADHD.
The behaviors that are common with ADHD interfere with a child's ability to function at school and at home.
Adults with ADHD may have difficulty with time management, organizational skills, goal setting, and employment. They may also have problems with relationships, self-esteem, and addictions.
What are ADHD symptoms in children?
Symptoms of ADHD in children are generally grouped into three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.
Inattention -- A child with ADHD:
Hyperactivity -- A child with ADHD:
Impulsivity -- A child with ADHD:
What are ADHD symptoms in adults?
Adult ADHD symptoms may be different than the symptoms in children. In addition, they may stem directly from ADHD or may be the result of behavioral issues. Symptoms include:

MUD, magic and mayhem – this year's Glastonbury Festival did not disappoint.
An estimated 137,616 pop fans descended onto Worthy Farm for a weekend jam-packed with some of the hottest acts on the planet.
Headliners U2, Coldplay and Beyonce wowed the crowds and performed all of their famous hits.
Morrissey, Wu-Tang Clan, BB King, Paul Simon and the Chemical Brothers produced dazzling displays.
Surprise guests Radiohead and Brit-pop kings Pulp stunned the crowds – the latter attracting an estimated 30,000 'Common People, which is a record for The Park stage.
It would not be Glastonbury Festival without a drop of rain, but revellers endured torrential downpours on Wednesday and Thursday.
It led to the familiar muddy scenes that have become so accustomed with the festival.
The sun finally broke through on Sunday and scorching temperatures gave the spectacle a fitting finale.
As of Sunday, there were 309 reported crimes – up by four from the previous year – and 123 arrests – up from 109 last year.
This year's event was certainly a special event and here's hoping the festival comes back bigger than ever after a well-earned break in 2013.

WORCESTER'S champions of Record Store Day have defended the independent celebration despite it facing strong criticism from Paul Weller.
The musician, who is often referred to as the Modfather, hit out at touts who re-sold his limited edition single, Brand New Toy, for inflated prices on eBay following the event on Saturday, April 19 and said he won't be taking part in the day again because he feels "disheartened".
However, Rise in CrownGate shopping centre enjoyed its best event with people queuing out of the door and around the corner to get their hands on hundreds of exclusive vinyl records.
Sam Jones, the store's assistant manager, says they often search eBay for releases being sold locally but they cannot be sure whether it has been bought at their store or at Carnival in Malvern and Rapture in Evesham.
"It's something that's always going to happen unfortunately. People are always going to do that, whether it is Record Store Day, ticket touts or limited releases that come out any other time of the year."
Mr Jones added: "If he (Paul Weller) was that concerned he would have done it on general release, then everybody can have it. Part of me thinks that maybe it's a strategy to just build up some news around him."
A spokesman for Record Store Day said they shared the former Jam singer's frustrations about the activity of touts but added some re-selling was expected due to only 500 copes of the single being available, while complaints of unauthorised sales were "well down" on previous years.
He added: "Record Store Day would not exist without the support and commitment of artists and labels and we take our responsibility to them very seriously."
In a statement on his official website, Paul Weller said: "It only takes a few to spoil a wonderful concept for everyone else. Shame on those touts.
"Don't support their trade and don't let them use Record Store Day to ruin the very thing it's designed to support."
Record Store Day came into being in 2007 when more than 700 independent stores in the USA came together to celebrate their unique culture, and 2014 was the seventh such celebration in the UK.

CARE homes in Oxfordshire need to provide more activities for residents, a report has warned.
Members of the Oxfordshire Local Involvement Network (LINk) recently visited 30 residential homes across the county.
And although their report to the county council's adult services scrutiny committee said they witnessed many good examples of care, most providers didn't do enough with their charges.
Report co-author Mary Judge said: "You can see from the report there is in many cases a good provision.
"But activities are a matter for concern. A list of weekly activities is often put up on notice boards, but in our opinion activities should involve being active.
"Some homes did have some interesting rotas of entertainment, but most have very little to get people through a long day."
She said staff at the homes meant well, but were unable to provide the best activities because of a lack of training.
The council's deputy director for joint commissioning, Sara Livadeas, said the council would take the issues raised on board.

I did… until I thought about the consequences of such an action, the way other people would think of me, the guilt I would have, and the person who I would traumatize.

- Upskirt Train Panchira:
Ummm… maybe the light from outside the train is way brighter than what is on the inside, that's why the camera could only pick out pure white?… though that IS true, it's a possibility that it's on a set. And since there is no audio of the "recording" that supposedly took place, we cannot tell if it's authentic or not. But of course, since there is another person within such close proximity of the two, it must either be that the guy is also in it, or that it's staged. There are instances …
- Upskirt Train Panchira:
Haha, same reaction I would have if I ever encounter it in real life… but it'll be funny if the thing is actually staged and you punched out the boyfriend of the girl… hehehe that'll teach him.

Uh-huh… so if the chikan is not bad looking, then it's o.k.?… okkkkkkkkk

…it's a trap…

Yes, she likes it so much, she is pushing the guy's hand in more. Or maybe, it was she who directed the guy's hand inside her pantsu… yes, it all makes sense now.

Watch: Abbey Lee for Versace Behind the Scenes
The new fragrance commercial, shot by Mario Testino.
Abbey Lee Kershaw is quickly making a name for herself as Donatella Versace's new muse. The Australian model has featured in various Versace advertisements, including for the Italian maison's successful collaboration with H&M, which made record-breaking sales at retail level. Now, we see behind the scenes footage of a platinum blonde and fringed Kershaw appearing for the fashion house once again, this time in the TVC for newly-launched fragrance, Yellow Diamond, shot by Mario Testino.
In an ode to the rare gemstone, Yellow Diamond is billed as a "celebration of exquisite, timeless beauty." The scent 8 notes of citron, pear sorbet, bergamot, orange blossom, mimosa, and amber woods and is appropriately encased in a lavish glass bottle. The fragrance launch for the fashion house follows their very successful SS12 runway show and looks set to be another hit for Versace.

• farrago •
Pronunciation: fê-rah-go • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A disorganized assortment, hotchpotch, salmagundi, miscellany, clumsy mixture, gallimaufry, or jumble of odds and ends.
Notes: Back in the 16th century two adjectives emerged that I rather like: farraginous and farraginary. They have not stood up well against the tramping of time, but I can easily imagine a farraginous (or farraginary) speech made up of nothing more than bits and pieces from the speaker's life. An E is usually added to the plural, farragoes, but this bit of adornment may be foregone and we may write simply farragos.
In Play: If you think about it, the US is a farrago of cultures from all over the world: "We found ourselves to be such a farrago of nationalities, we decided to put together an international fair for the benefit of the entire city." We also find farragoes all around the house: "Dinner tonight will be a farrago of leftovers; I need to clean out the refrigerator."
Word History: Today's Good Word is simply Latin farrago "mixed fodder, a hodgepodge", removed from that language and served as is. This word was derived from far, farris "spelt", the Latin remains of Proto-Indo-European bhares- "barley". The root of the Latin word can also be seen in farina, also borrowed from Latin. In Old English this same PIE stem picked up a common suffix, -lik "like" (today -ly, as in friendly, commonly) and emerged as bærlic "barley-like", then went on to become barley itself. The name for the place for storing barley came to be Modern English barn. (We will offer no farrago of words but a pointed word of thanks to Ed Pellicciotti for suggesting today's Good Word.)

Cooks in Sutton have been urged to make sure they are careful with raw chicken.
As part of food safety week, Sutton Council is urging people not to wash their chicken before they cook it.
Sarah Page, the senior environmental health officer at the council, said washing chicken can spread harmful bacteria that would be killed during cooking all over the kitchen.
She added: "It's important that we do our part to make sure that people know to handle and cook food safely for themselves and for their families. We're proud to be keeping people in Sutton safe and well by being part of this campaign to spread the word – and not the germs."

Organisers of the Seend Beer Festival are urging people to buy their tickets in advance as there is a good chance the event will be sold out.
The festival, on Saturday May 3, is in its 14th year and last year was the first time it had sold out in advance.
Tickets have been on sale in Seend since the beginning of March but go on general sale today.
Richard Todhunter, one of the organisers, said: "We are hopeful we will sell out in advance. People do come from further afield for the festival, including people who plan it around their trips to local campsites."
The line up of beers is in the process of being finalised and there are likely to be a few more than last year with between 30 and 35 and about six ciders. A pig roast will also be available.
This time there are more live bands with four playing throughout the day. They are Jamie R Hawkins, Phil King, Claire in the Tommunity and A Dig in the Ribs.
Non-beer drinkers can attend and entry is £5, not available in advance. Under 18s can attend but must be accompanied by a paying adult.
The event is the biggest single fundraiser for Seend Community Centre and last year it raised £2,000.
Tickets are £10 from Seend Post Office, the Community Centre, the Brewery Inn at Seend Cleeve or Devizes Books. Online tickets are £11 from the website www.seendbeerfestival.co.uk

'Ice Age' to the Digital Age: The 3D Animation Art of Blue Sky Studios - Katonah Museum of Art
Through January 20, 2013 - Katonah
This unique interactive exhibition looks at the imaginative work of Greenwich, Connecticut-based Blue Sky Studios, a leader in the animation industry for over 20 years. Creator of such blockbuster films as the "Ice Age" series, "Robots," and "Rio," the studio prides itself on technical innovation, while retaining a strong narrative heart. '"Ice Age" to the Digital Age' will guide visitors through Blue Sky's entire process of creating computer-animated films: from initial concepts, storyboards, character design, background art, and three-dimensional modeling, to the highly technical work of animation, rigging, materials, lighting, special effects, and sound. In addition to final movie clips, the exhibition will feature rarely-seen original concept drawings, sculptural models, props, and digital stills. Interactive stations will allow visitors to sketch a scene or manipulate computer-generated images to better understand the innovative technology that brings the films to life. Katonah resident Chris Wedge, a co-founder of Blue Sky in 1987, believes that the secret to the studio's success is in its inventive process. In his view, the art challenges technology and technology inspires the art. The Museum will be turning all the galleries, including the Learning Center, over to this exhibit. There will be gallery talks with Blue Sky co-founder Chris Wedge and "Ice Age: Continental Drift" directors Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier, as well as a calendar of programming in partnership with the Jacob Burns Film Center. Details about these programs are available at katonahmuseum.org. The exhibition will be on view from Sunday, September 16, 2012 through January 20, 2013.

Composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick teamed up with librettist Joseph Stein to create this timeless classic musical, magically woven with universal themes, music, dance, poignancy, and laughter.
"Fiddler on the Roof" is based on "Tevye and His Daughters" and other tales by Sholem Aleichem that he wrote in Yiddish and published in 1894. Set in 1905, the musical takes place in Anatevka, a small Jewish village in Russia.

The daughters are Rachel Prather (Tzeitel), Sarah Rolleston (Hodel), Dana Glaus (Chava), and local children Gianna Florio and Julia Gold, who will alternate as Bielke, and Samantha Robins and Shannon Stout who will alternate as Shprintze. Terry Palasz is the meddling Matchmaker, Yente. The girls' suitors are Andrew Boza as Motel the tailor, Eric Johnson as the butcher, Lazar Wolfe, Joe Longthorne as the student revolutionary, Perchik, and Chris Giordano as Fyedka, the Russian Cossack. The cast also features Michael J. Farina as Mordcha the Innkeeper, Drew Martin as the Rabbi, Benjamin Dean as Mendel, Stephen Tewksbury as the constable, Lucas Thompson as Nachum, and Stephen Valenti as Avram.
The production is directed and choreographed by Richard Stafford. Jesse Factor is the associate choreographer. The musical director is Leo P. Carusone, set design is by John Farrell, technical director is Steve Loftus, lighting design by Andrew Gmoser, sound design by Jonathan Hatton, costume design by Michael Bottari and Ronald Case, production stage manager is Victor Lukas and the assistant stage Mmnager is Ron Rogell.

Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's new book Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?: Flaming Challenges to Masculinity, Objectification, and the Desire to Conform begins by yanking readers out of the closet, burning their designer duds and enlisting them in the fight against assimilation. I was excited for this book because I had been futilely searching for queer fraternity on out.com, and I wanted alternatives.
"No one would buy into the hype of gay mass consumerism if they were sure that alternative modes for living and creating culture existed and were easily accessible without shelling out the cash," Ali Abbas asserts in the book. Sycamore's attack on commercialized queer culture is a call to forge a new queer identity and walk in solidarity on a road unpaved by commercialized commonality. Create a community, not a profile! she screams. Don't buy your identity; make it yourself!
However, the book's contents cannot be attributed exclusively to Sycamore. Collectively, the book is a politically infused queer tome backlit with Sycamore's fanaticism. In her introduction to the anthology of essays by multiple authors, Sycamore writes that the book "reinvokes the anger, flamboyance and subversion once thriving in gay subcultures." While this sometimes poignant, cathartic and often obscene anthology is not always so seditious, Sycamore seeks to re-evaluate what it means to be gay, suggesting that, in the current sociopolitical atmosphere, homosexuality comes with more responsibility than defense of same-sex relations. Ironically, by making sexual identity synonymous with a subversive political statement, Sycamore exemplifies why faggots are so afraid of faggots. As a gay man, the idea that accepting a queer identity also means accepting a political one leaves me quivering in the proverbial closet.
Sycamore, aka "Matt," is for all intents and purposes male, but identifies as "genderqueer" and responds to the pronouns "she" and "her." Her use of the word "faggot" is an attempt to reclaim it. And like her, people in the book assume limited labels to expand definitions through intimate experience, forcing us to re-examine who we may have misclassified or miscategorized. In the process, this book definitely does its job of exposing prejudice, but the esoteric content and sensationalism may only serve to perpetuate it.
The internet is a common theme in these disjointed essays, used as a metaphor for the restrictive nature of labels. Hookup chat sites are ideal for this since they often force users to identify with limited labels—"dad" or "lad," "top" or "bottom." Michael J Faris and ML Sugie write that "conversations in hookup chat rooms reproduce and enforce dominant narratives with regards to race, gender, sexuality and sex." The internet isolates and magnifies the sickness and superficiality present in male gay culture. Sycamore suggests that the internet and consumer bandwagons help LGBTQ people maintain a sense of community without sacrificing the straight/acceptable facade.
But this book offers no viable options. One man suggests that coming out to show solidarity is queer obligation, going so far as to tattoo "queer" on his arm. Another suggests that we should take an inventory of the AIDS casualties to strengthen "gay lineage." If prompting a queer revolution is the goal, these techniques are more guilting than inspiring, which seems to be the book's overall effect. It obfuscates rather than illuminates, like an octopus emitting a shroud of ink and then disappearing in the fog. It gives the reader a visceral sense of queer affliction and creates a cloud of complaints without pragmatic solutions.

AT&T Impulse 4G Review
0. phoneArena posted on 21 Sep 2011, 07:00
Even now, buying a "4G" enabled AT&T smartphone still requires you to fork over some serious cash flow, but as we continue to become inundated by them, it's only inevitable to find them increasingly on the affordable side. Plus, when you're Chinese manufacturer Huawei, you know it's going to be close to dirt-cheap. Well people, we're finally at that level as the Huawei manufactured AT&T Impulse 4G is taking off sporting a tempting on-contract price of only $29.99...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Great video review! I'm curious, how would you score this in the "entry-level smart phone" category? Obviously you gave it a 6.5 compared to all, but in addition it may be good to know how it stacks up to other entry-level's (my mom and little sister would probably be interested). Maybe an 8.5? Thanks!
2. Mercenary (unregistered)
It's good to see nice phones with low prices,but...what's up with the call quality?
I mean is it hard to make the call quality good?Like the htc hd7,LG optimus 7,samsung omnia 7...those are really nice phones but the call quality...!!!
I also liked the SE XPeria mini pro TXT as a budget phone..but the same problem..call quality!
4. vette21man (Posts: 351; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Good question...It seems these budget smart phones cut corners on everything (screen, processor, camera), including the very thing it is at its core...a PHONE. I would think at the minimum, the call quality has to be good on any phone. Any phone (smart or not) suffering from bad call quality doesn't deserve to be sold. $300 Droid Bionic with whining sound? Pathetic.

As you said...
what i like in nokia that all it's phones have good call quality.

I am not being funny but why is everyone obsessed about viewing angles?? Do you read your phones display from the side?? I certainly do not. And not having great viewing angles means more privacy from anyone sitting next to you. I for one look at my phones display head on not from the side. Stupid
8. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
For this price it should deserve more points in the review.

Just got this phone. Cheap and cool. So far so good.

Got this phone Saturday and Im not impressed with a few thing. The text messaging is one of them
11. Itzabitz (unregistered)
I'm finding that frequently when people call me, they can't hear me. I have to call them back and then it connects properly. In fact, when they call and can't hear me, if I hang up before them and they stay on the line, they connect with my voicemail. Is anyone else having this problem?
12. jodee (unregistered)
i think im going to get this phone, im excited but , to people who have this phone, what do you think and if you think i should not get this phone is there an at&t phone that does not cost too much that you recommend?(preferably slide)

I like this phone but this is my second one in the 3 weeks that ive had it for problems. It shuts off by its self and freezes. This second phone i have only had for 4 days now.
17. BMHarris (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
I've had the same problem. I have to reset my phone at least 5 times a day because features stop working or it just freezes up. Anyone know how to fix that?
22. shelbyxxoo (Posts: 1; Member since: 04 Mar 2012)
I've been having this same exact problem... it drives me nuts!
15. lyss (unregistered)
have had this phone for a week now....only 2 things that I have had problems with is the call quality and very short battery life, I have to charge it by 11pm every night or mid day if I plan to have a late night. Kinda annoying because everything else seems to be working flawlessly, not sure how they missed 2 very IMPORTANT qualities....get a car charger folks! Otherwise I do love this phone, very speedy with all features, and you can not beat the price :-)
18. carolyn65 (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
This phone has been an absolute nightmare. I have had it replaced three times in 10 days and they all drop almost every call I make or receive. I use my phone for my business so I can't afford these kind of problems. After trying 3 phones that clearly do not work I asked to trade for a different kind of phone. The salesperson said that was not their policy that they could give me # 4 to try. I gave #3 back to them , had to pay a $35.00 "restocking fee" and left without a phone. Needless to say I will be ending my relationship with AT&T as soon as the contract is up.
19. Thullraven (Posts: 26; Member since: 14 Nov 2011)
Been using the Impulse for a week. Wanted to try an Android phone for awhile. Much about it to like and some things I don't like. I love the customizations I've been able to do. My live wallpaper is very cool. Gaming is good. Surfing is good. Also, for an Android, the battery life has been stellar. Better than my BB Torch 9810. However, I've decided to return to my Torch for two reasons alone, the first which is a deal bteaker for me : Signal Strength and texting. I've installed antenna boosters in the battery compartment but my Torch still has a much stronger signal and I work in an area where I need a strong signal. All the fun of this phone means nothing to me if I can't use it as a phone. Also, texting is ok but not great. The text has to play catch up and errors.are common, but that could be me :) That said, I could have typed this out a lot quicker on my Torch.
20. madisondanielle (Posts: 1; Member since: 13 Feb 2012)
I first off would not reccomend this phone. it deletes all my pictures sometimes and they never seem to restore.But when i go into my camera i can see the previous picture i took so i dont know what the issue is but again i d o not reccomend this phone.
21. nateford1982 (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
This phone has had many problems. I've gone through 4 sim card and this my 2nd phone. On incoming calls the connection is bad sometimes and they can't hear me on the other end of the line. When this 2nd phone with the 2nd sim card started doing that, I had enough. They wouldn't do anything for me at the At&t store so after speaking with about 4 different people on the warrenty hotline they made it so I could get an early upgrade. Its only been 4 months since I've had this phone. They waved all the fees and shiping costs and my Samsung Galaxy S II is on the way. I'm only out the original 30 bucks I originally paid for the Impulse. You get what you pay for.
23. jaden153 (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Jul 2012)
WOSE PHONE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this phone has random spaz attacks when the touch screen wil stop working and you have to pop out the battery. it is also extreamly hard to assign a 3 to a contact that u have downloaded from facebook. i wrote this revew after my phone was completly fryed after attempting to bring up an app. the screen will also cut of if u toch the screen more than once at a time the screen is horrible at recocnizeing swipes and tapps.

Identify your sales wolves
Sales wolves are ferocious; they go for the jugular and eat the competition alive, like a ravenous wolf pursues and devours their prey. These are the elite sales professionals who make personal accountability a core part of their existence and consistently perform at the top 10-20th percentile.
The science and art of selecting sales talent… At the Rainmaker Group, we are not interested in untested theories. We do not guess who your potential sales wolves are; our "Rainmaker Algorithm" is based on empirical data. Our Rainmaker Algorithm consistently separates the high-risk candidates (bottom line vampires) from the low-risk candidates (wolf-class salespeople) with stunning, consistent statistical accuracy.
We will not help you identify sales talent that is just better-than-average than other salespeople. We identify salespeople who are profoundly better.
Go ahead. Run our Rainmaker Algorithm against any other sales hiring approach.
Assemble your killer pack
Our Clients trust us to help them search for and recruit only the top sales professionals worthy of the title "sales wolves." These folks do not fit a traditional definition — they redefine what it means to be salesperson. Our data-driven, evidence-backed Rainmaker Algorithm is our "smart weapon" to laser target and recruit only the best in the industry.

"For our August wedding, we have collected over 150 vintage glasses for our guests to drink their cocktails out of. We are inviting them to take the glasses home, and wanted a way of letting the caterers decipher between what goes back to the rental company and what stays. These stickers are perfect for the bottom of the glasses and they match our wedding invitations and color scheme."
"Beautiful stickers that I used to seal my pocket fold with wedding invitations inside. Guests thought it was a great touch!"
"I was most impressed with the paper quality and how professional everything appeared. The designers really took their time to make sure everything was perfect."
"I LOVE the way the stickers turned out ! I am using them for our wedding favor bags for our guests in their hotel room. Such a classic chic design!"
"Very beautiful! As others have said, it does look more like a sand when printed than a gold ring but it does clearly state in the description that it does not have any metallic ink or foil. Perfect size to go on top of my jam jar favours."

spawnocula - Friday, November 21, 2003 - linkIt would be nice if Anandtech would review the ALIENWARE AREA-51m, Voodoo Envy 855, Sager 8890, and Hypersonic Aviator GX6 or 8, to see which is better of the bunch and has longer upgradeability. Reply

alexruiz - Thursday, November 20, 2003 - linkI am quire sure MOST of the available Athlon 64 laptops are based on the MITAC 8355. Clevo doesn't have an Athlon 64 design. The other 2 Athlon 64 laptops are the hyped Arima A520-K8 that is nowhere to be seen (mobility radeon 9000 only though). The other is the Uniwill 766 that employs the SIS 755 chipset, still not seen yet.
So, I am 95% confident all the machines available are based on the MITAC design.

Madcat207 - Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - link#3&4-
Im not sure why the article says there is no DDR400, but Uniwill and Clevo both have good DDR400 supplies. I cant speak for Uniwill, but Clevo ships Apacer PC3200, CL2.5, which can be OCed (with some register editing) to CL2. Also, this ram is commercially sold to end users..
Hypersonic's A64 laptop is the EXACT same as Voodoo's, since they both get thier laptops from from the same ODM.. Reply

ssamurai26 - The Alienware 51M systems most likely use Kingmax, but the problem still remains to be supply. SODIMM DDR400 modules are very very rare. The highest speed that is actually available to the general consumer still remains to be DDR333. Reply

Out of curiousity, why is it then that the Area 51M ships with DDR400 sodimms? Reply

text: Buchanan was captain of the CSS Virginia during the Battle of Hampton Roads. It was the first battle between two ironclad warships. During the battle, he climbed to the top deck and was shot in the thigh by a sharpshooter on the USS Monitor. The battle was a draw. Buchanan eventually healed from this wound and went on to other battles.
