SixtyFo - Friday, September 15, 2006 - linkSo do they still use a dongle between the cards? If you had 2 xfire cards then it won't be connecting to a dvi port. Is there an adaptor? I guess what I'm asking is are you REALLY sure I can run 2 crossfire ed. x1950s together? I'm about to drop a grand on video cards so that piece of info may come in handy. Reply
unclebud - Friday, September 01, 2006 - link"And 10Mhz beyond the X1600 XT is barely enough to warrant a different pair of letters following the model number, let alone a whole new series starting with the X1650 Pro."
nvidia has been doing it for years with the 4mx/5200/6200/7300/whatever and nobody here said boo!

SonicIce - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkHow can a whole X1900XTX system use only 267 watts? So a 300w power supply could handle the system? Reply
DerekWilson - Saturday, August 26, 2006 - linkgenerally you need something bigger than a 300w psu, because the main problem is current supply on both 12v rails must be fairly high. Reply
Trisped - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkThe crossfire card is not the same as the normal one. The normal card also has the extra video out options. So there is a reason to buy the one to team up with the other, but only if you need to output to a composite, s-video, or component. Reply

bob4432 - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkwhy is the x1800xt left out of just about every comparison i have read? for the price you really can't beat it.... Reply
araczynski - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - link...I haven't read the article, but i did want to just make a comment...
having just scored a brand new 7900gtx for $330 shipped, it feels good to be able to see the headlines for articles like this, ignore them, and think "...whew, i won't have to read anymore of these until the second generation of DX10's comes out..."
I'm guessing nvidia will be skipping the 8000's, and 9000's, and go straight for the 10,000's, to signal the DX10 and 'uber' (in hype) improvements.
either way, its nice to get out of the rat race for a few years. Reply
MrJim - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkWhy no Anisotropic filtering tests? Or am i blind? Reply
DerekWilson - Saturday, August 26, 2006 - linkyes, all tests are performed with at least 8xAF. Under games that don't allow selection of a specific degree of AF, we choose the highest quality texture filtering option (as in BF2 for instance).
AF comes at fairly little cost these days, and it just doesn't make sense not to turn on at least 8x. I wouldn't personally want to go any higher without angle independant AF (like the high quality af offered on ATI x1k cards). Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkAnisotropic filtering was enabled in all tests at 8xAF as far as I know. When we use antialiasing, we generally enable anisotropic filtering as well. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkLooks like there's no HDCP support or HDMI connector added like I'd expect with a brand new top-end card. And, they didn't add the new quieter cooler to the X1900XT. Pity. I doubt it would cost ATI more, and it'd up the sale of cards since people hate the noisy fan ATI has been currently using.
I'll pass. My older (by alpha-geek standards) X800XL does the job fine.
P.S. -1 for not doing any bench tests with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Reply
DerekWilson - Saturday, August 26, 2006 - linkalso, all of these cards have HDCP support -- which I believe I mentioned somewhere in there. HDMI is up to the vendor. Reply

YOu should change your phrase from "Sometimes we can have our cake and eat it too"
to "Sometimes we can eat our cake and have it too" Reply
poohbear - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkthe established exnglish expression is "you cant have your cake and eat it too", even if it doesnt make logical sense. There are many words and expressions that dont make sense in english (driveway, football, highway). Im guessing you're not a native english speaker, but that's the way the language is. now, please post about technology and not the logic of english expressions. Reply
Griswold - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkWhats wrong with football? Or do you mean american "football"? Reply
poohbear - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkcan anyone confirm if those power consumption tests are for the entire system or just the vid cards? the highest figure was 267wts: a high end system that consumes 267wts underload is sweet! can you confirm that is indeed for the entire system (cpu, mobo, hdd, vid card... everything). thanks. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkI'm pretty sure that this is power use for the entire system, but Derek's results are quite a bit lower than what I got on the ABS system I tested last week for X1900 CrossFire. Of course, the water cooling and extra fans on the ABS system might add a decent amount of power draw, and I don't know how "loaded" the systems are in this test. I would guess that Derek ran Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for load conditions. Reply
DerekWilson - Saturday, August 26, 2006 - linkyeah ... i didn't test power with crossfire -- which is a whole lot higher. also, i have a minimal set of componets to make it work -- one hdd, one cdrom drive, and no addin cards other than graphics.
we'll do multi-gpu power when we look at quadsli Reply
ElFenix - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkthe review states that power consumption was measured at the wall wtih a kill-a-watt, during a 3Dmark run.
in addition to the water cooling, it could be he's running a more efficient PSU. in a powerful system drawing 220 watts from the power supply would draw 277 watts from the wall with an 80% efficient PSU (like a good seasonic) and draw 314 watts with a 70% efficient PSU. that's a pretty decent difference right there.

Rock Hydra - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkWith those competitively price parts, hopefully nVIDIA will respond with lower prices. Reply
CreepieDeCrapper - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI'm not familiar with 1920x1440, did you mean 1920x1200? What resolution were these tests performed? Thank you!
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - link1920x1440 is a standard 4:3 aspect ratio used on many CRTs. It is often included as performance is somewhat close to 1920x1200 performance. Reply
CreepieDeCrapper - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkThanks, I've been using my LCD for so long I forgot about the vintage CRT res's out there ;) Plus I never ran that particular res on my CRT when I had one, so I just wasn't familiar. Reply
cgaspar - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkWhile average frame rates are interesting, I _really_ care about minimum frame rates - 300fps average is useless if at a critical moment in a twitch game the frame rate drops to 10fps for 3 seconds - this is especially true in Oblivion. Of course it's possible that the minimums would be the same for all cards (if the game is CPU bound in some portion), but they might not be.
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkA lot of games have instantaneous minimums that are very low due to HDD accesses and such. Oblivion is a good example. Benchmarking also emphasizes minimum frame rates, as in regular play they occur less frequently. Basically, you run around an area for a longer period of time in actual gaming, as opposed to a 30-90 second benchmark. If there's a couple seconds at the start of the level where frame rates are low due to the engine caching textures, that doesn't mean as much as continuos low frame rates.
More information is useful, of course, but it's important to keep things in perspective. :) Reply
kmmatney - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkThe charts show tht the 7900GT gets a huge boost from being factory overclocked. It would be nice to see if the X1900XT 256 MB can also be overclocked at all, or if there is any headroom. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkWe used factory overclocked 7900 GT cards that are widely available. These are basically guaranteed overclocks for about $20 more. There are no factory overclocked ATI cards around, but realistically don't expect overclocking to get more than 5% more performance on ATI hardware.
The X1900 XTX is clocked at 650 MHz, which isn't much higher than the 625 MHz of the XT cards. Given that ATI just released a lower power card but kept the clock speed at 650 MHz, it's pretty clear that there GPUs are close to topped out. The RAM might have a bit more headroom, but memory bandwidth already appears to be less of a concern, as the X1950 isn't tremendously faster than the X1900. Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI think its obvious why ATI is selling thier cards for less now, and that reason is alot of 'tech savy' users, are waiting for Direct3D 10 to be released, and want to buy a capable card. This is probably to try an entice some people into buying technology that will be 'obsolete', when Direct3D 10 is released.
Supposedly Vista will ship with Directx 9L, and Directx 10 (Direct3D 10), but I've also read to the contrary, and that Direct3D 10 wont be released until after Vista ships (sometime). Personally, I couldnt think of a better time to buy hardware, but alot of people think that waiting, and just paying through the nose for a Video card later, is going to save them money. *shrug* Reply
Broken - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkIn this review, the test bed was an Intel D975XBX (LGA-775). I thought this was an ATI Crossfire only board and could not run two Nvidia cards in SLI. Are there hacked drivers that allow this, and if so, is there any penalty? Also, I see that this board is dual 8x pci-e and not dual 16x... at high resolutions, could this be a limiting factor, or is that not for another year?
DerekWilson - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkSorry about the confusion there. We actually used an nForce4 Intel x16 board for the NVIDIA SLI tests. Unfortunately, it is still not possible to run SLI on an Intel motherboard. Our test section has been updated with the appropriate information.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Derek Wilson Reply
ElFenix - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkas we all should know by now, Nvidia's default driver quality setting is lower than ATi's, and makes a significant difference in the framerate when you use the driver settings to match the quality settings. your "The Test" page does not indicate that you changed the driver quality settings to match. Reply
DerekWilson - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkDrivers were run with default quality settings.
Default driver settings between ATI and NVIDIA are generally comparable from an image quality stand point unless shimmering or banding is noticed due to trilinear/anisotropic optimizations. None of the games we tested displayed any such issues during our testing.
At the same time, during our Quad SLI followup we would like to include a series of tests run at the highest possible quality settings for both ATI and NVIDIA -- which would put ATI ahead of NVIDIA in terms of Anisotropic filtering or in chuck patch cases and NVIDIA ahead of ATI in terms of adaptive/transparency AA (which is actually degraded by their gamma correction).
If you have any suggestions on different settings to compare, we are more than willing to run some tests and see what happens.
Derek Wilson Reply
ElFenix - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkcould you run each card with the quality slider turned all the way up, please? i believe that the the default setting for ATi, and the 'High Quality' setting for nvidia. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
michael Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI think as long as all settings from both offerings are as close as possible per benchmark, there is no real gripe.
Although, some people seem to think it nessisary to run AA as high resolutions (1600x1200 +), but I'm not one of them. Its very hard for me to notice jaggies even at 1440x900, especially when concentrating on the game, instead of standing still, and looking with a magnifying glass for jaggies . . . Reply
mostlyprudent - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkWhen are we going to see a good number of Core 2 Duo motherboards that support Crossfire? The fact that AT is using an Intel made board rather than a "true enthusiast" board says something about the current state of Core 2 Duo motherboards. Reply
DerekWilson - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkIntel's boards are actually very good. The only reason we haven't been using them in our tests (aside from a lack of SLI support) is that we have not been recommending Intel processors for the past couple years. Core 2 Duo makes Intel CPUs worth having, and you definitely won't go wrong with a good Intel motherboard. Reply
nextsmallthing - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkDid anyone else notice that the specs for some of the NVIDIA cards are wrong? For example, the core clock of the 7900GTX is supposed to be 650 MHz, not 700 MHz, and the core clock of the 7900GT should be 450 MHz, not 470 MHz. Also, the pipeline configuration for the 7300GT (according to Wikipedia anyway) should be 8 pixel & 4 vertex.
This many mistakes really makes me question the accuracy of other specs I read on Anandtech.
(And by the way, would somebody please inform the DailyTech writers that it's "Xbox 360", not "XBOX 360". And yes I'm aware of the conventions that punctuation goes inside quotes and you shouldn't start sentences with "and".) Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkThe 7900GTX/GT clock speeds that were listed were actually vertex clock speeds, not general core clock speeds, so they were technically correct (parts of the GPU do run at those frequencies) just not comparable to the other numbers. They have been corrected.
The 7300GT is indeed 8 pipes, that was a copy/paste error. Thanks for the heads up.
Take care,
Anand Reply
nextsmallthing - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkWow--prompt correction and courteous reply. I'm impressed, and my faith in Anandtech is restored! Reply
Josh7289 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkFrom the looks of the pricing structure for ATI's cards on the first page, and especially from the looks of the pricing structure for ATI's cards after they simplify their lineup, it looks like ATI is giving up on midrange cards, from $100 - $200. The 7600GT and the upcoming 7900GS both are alone in that price range (about $150 and $200, respecitively), with no competition from ATI, so it seems they really are giving that price range to Nvidia.
Am I right with this or am I seriously missing something? Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkthere is a x1800GTO2, price last I looked was around $230, of course, they released it rather quietly. Still, thats about $90 higher than the 7600 GT (or in my case the eVGA 7600GT KO). Reply
OrSin - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI wondering the same thing. Are they going to stop making any 1800's. They should be dropping in this price range nicely. Not sure how competative they are with the 7900's. And now that the 7900GS is coming out the 1800 might be just too outclassed. (you guys just missed a great deal on woot 7900GS for $145).
I hope 1800 drop is still being made and I hope it drops to $150-180 range to fill that gap. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI think they've already stopped making all of the X1800 series, but there are still cards floating around. Reply
Josh7289 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkThe X1900GT is a card meant to compete with the stock 7900GT, and as such is somewhere around the $200 - $250 price range.
As for the X1950 Pro and X1650 XT, what are these supposed to compete against and at what prices. More importantly, when are these supposed to launch? Reply
coldpower27 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkAs well the X1650 XT is also in the works. Reply
coldpower27 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkX1950 Pro, is upcoming, as well they still have the X1900 GT. Reply
Ecmaster76 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkIs it a GDDR3 or a DDR2 product?
If the former, any chance it will crossfire with x1600 xt? Oficially I mean (methinks a bios flash might work, though x1650 is maybe a 80nm part) Reply
coldpower27 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkNo I don't think that would work.
an X1650 Pro has 600/1400 Speeds so 100% sure is GDDR3, DDR2 doesn't exisit at such high clockspeed.
Genx87 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkSome of the other reviews had this x1950XT beating the GX2 almost every time, sometimes by a wide margin.
I still cant get over the power\transistor\die size to performance advantage Nvidia has over ATI right now.
PrinceGaz - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkInteresting. The first review I read was at where the X1950XTX beat or equalled the 7950GX2 every time, then here the reverse is true. I think I'll have to read more reviews to decide what is going on (it certainly isn't CPU limitations). Maybe 's focus on optimum quality settings rather than raw framerate is the reason they favoured ATI, and another is the clear fact that when it came to minimum framerates instead of average framerates ( posted both for all tests) the X1950XTX was especially good.
In other words the 7950GX2 posted great average numbers, but the X1950XTX was playable at higher quality settings because the minimum framerate didn't drop so low. Hopefully some other sites also include minimum framerates along with graphs to clearly show the cards perform.
I remember a few years ago when ATs graphics card articles included image-quality comparisons and all sorts of other reports about how the cards compared in real-world situations. Now it seems all we get is a report on average framerate with a short comment that basically says "higher is better". Derek- I strongly suggest you look at how test cards and the informative and useful comments that accompany each graph. There may only have been three cards in their comparison but it gave a much better idea of how the cards compare to each other.
Anyway I'll not be getting any of these cards. My 6800GT has plenty of performance for now so I'll wait until Vista SP1 and the second-generation of DX10 cards which hopfully won't require a 1KW PSU :) Reply
PrinceGaz - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkIt seems the comments system here uses the brackets in HardOCP's abbreviation as some sort of marker. Apologies for making the rest of the text invisible, please amend my comment appropriately. I was talking about HardOCP by the way, when I said they use minimum framerates and optimum quality settings for each card. Reply

JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkAh, seems you figured that out already. ;) I need to see if we can disable that feature.... Reply
haris - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkActually if you look at all of the reviews a bit more closely the sites the scores depend on which processor is being used for the test. It appears that nVidia cards tend to run better on Conroes(probably just means the games are slightly less cpu bottlenecked at the resolutions being tested) while ATi tends to run better on AMD systems(or when the cpu is slowing things down) Of course that is IIRC from the 5 reviews I skimmed through today. Reply
coldpower27 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkNo just no X1950 XTX alone is not more powerful then the 7950GX2. Only in ATI favourable scenarios or where SLI flat out doesn't work will this occur.
UNESC0 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - link
You get the same performance, same features and better flexibility with the CrossFire card so why not?
you might want to run dual monitors... Reply
Vigile - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkMy thought exactly on this one Anand... Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkYou can run dual monitors with a CrossFire card as well, the CrossFire dongle that comes with the card has your 2nd DVI output on it :)
Take care,
Anand Reply
kneecap - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkWhat about VIVO? The Crossfire Edition does not support that. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkFor high-end video out, the DVI port is generally more useful anyway. It's also required if you want to hook up to a display using HDCP - I think that will work with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, but maybe not? S-VIDEO and Composite out are basically becoming seldom used items in my experience, though the loss of component out is a bit more of a concern. Reply
JNo - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkSo if I use DVI out and attach a DVI to HDMI adaptor before attaching to a projector or HDTV, will I get a properly encrypted signal to fully display future blu-ray/hd-dvd encrypted content?
The loss of component is a bit of a concern as many HDTVs and projectors still produce amazing images with component and, in fact, I gather that some very high resolutions+refresh rates are possible on component but not DVI due to certain bandwidth limitations with DVI. But please correct me if I am wrong. I take Anandtech's point on the crossfire card offering more but with a couple of admittedly small quesiton marks, I see no reason not to get the standard card and crossfire for the second later if you decided to go that route... Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, August 24, 2006 - linkI suppose theoretically component could run higher resolutions than DVI, with dual-link being required for 2048x1536 and higher. Not sure what displays support such resolutions with component inputs, though. Even 1080p can run off of single-link DVI.
I think the idea with CF cards over standard is that they will have a higher resale value if you want to get rid of them in the future, and they are also more versatile -- TV out capability being the one exception. There are going to be a lot of people that get systems with a standard X1950 card, so if they want to upgrade to CrossFire in the future they will need to buy the CrossFire edition. We all know that at some point ATI is no longer going to make any of the R5xx cards, so if people wait to upgrade to CrossFire they might be forced to look for used cards in a year or two.
Obviously, this whole scenario falls apart if street prices on CrossFire edition cards end up being higher than the regular cards. Given the supply/demand economics involved, that wouldn't be too surprising, but of course we won't know for another three or four weeks. Reply

TigerFlash - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI was wondering if anyone thinks it's wise to get an intel core duo 2 motherboard with crossfire support now that AMD is buying out ATI. Do you think ATI would stop supporting Intel motherboards? Reply
johnsonx - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - link
Do you think ATI would stop supporting Intel motherboards?
Of course not. AMD/ATI isn't stupid. Even if their cross-licensing agreement with Intel didn't prevent them from blocking Crossfire on Intel boards (which it almost surely does), cutting out that part of the market would be foolish.
dderidex - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkWhat's with the $99 -> $249 gap?
Weren't we supposed to see an X1650XT, too? Based on RV570? ...or RV560? Something? Reply
TigerFlash - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkI suppose I worded that the opposite way. Do you think Intel will stop supporting Crossfire cards? Reply
michal1980 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkCan we not even get any numbers for cards below the 7900GTX.
I understand your limited, but how about some numbers from some cards below that, to see what an upgrade would do.
I know we can kind of take test from old reviews of the cards, but your test bed has changed since core 2, so its not a fair heads to heads test of old numbers to new.
it would be nice to see if theres a point(wise or not) to upgrade from a 7800gt or that gen of cards, or something slower like a 7900gt.
but it seems like ever 'new gen' card test just drops off 'older' cards Reply
michal1980 - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkwhat i meant is that on the tables, or where all the new cards are, it would be nice to have some numbers for old cards. Reply
Lifted - Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - linkAgreed. I'm still running a 6800GT and have not seen much of a reason to upgrade with the current software I run. Perhaps if I saw that newer games are 3x faster I might consider an upgrade, so how about it? Reply

Clean Logic Cucumber Melon Soap Sponge
I love beauty innovations, and products that have (effective) 2-in-1 capabilities as well. This product was created to be soap and a sponge that also exfoliates. I used the Cucumber Melon, which was really refreshing and clean, and pretty authentic with the fruit notes. When I opened the soap for the first time, I could see that in the middle of the soap was the sponge, which was surrounded by the soap itself. When I got it wet in the shower, I could actually feel the sponge material on my body and it automatically created a nice lather effect. The scrubbing effect was gentle yet thorough and was perfect for the gym (and travel) as it also comes with its own soap dish. (With repeated use, the soap then appears as a sponge with the soap lathering from within it.). The cleansing effect is nice – not too drying and very thorough with out leaving any residue or film on the skin. If you have very dry skin however, you will need additional moisturizer after using. For those of you who like to get a quick shower in AM, this is the perfect time saver, and it's also a great product for the family, as kids can easily hold and use the product and get a great clean as well.

Zito grounds out to short.
Cincinnati Here We Go.
26 Years and Counting...
Lot's of baseball left to play guys
The game isn't over yet. With Cueto out, the Reds didn't have much of a choice but to use Leake today. Some things are out of our control. Latos on 3 days rest in back to back appearances, we don't know how he'll respond. And who knows how Arroyo would do in a game 5 on 3 days rest against Cain.
Pagan had eight home runs this year. Blanco had five.
Leake is just lobbing garbage up there.
Zito is pretty junk ball too and he's keeping the ball down especially after his walks. Sigh.
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
Leake isn't a joke. He's a pretty good 5th starter. He's just not talented enough for this spot.
Pagan walks

By Thomas Gold, VP, Research and Evaluation
The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship congratulates the research psychologist Angela Duckworth for her incredible accomplishment in becoming a 2013 recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship. Dr. Duckworth's pioneering work is on the role that grit and self-control – non-cognitive skills – play in the way young people learn. Her research has made a major impact on the way we view educational attainment, achievement and success in young children, which, for too long, has neglected these critical components in favor of focusing mostly on cognitive skills and the performance on standardized tests.
Dr. Duckworth's research strongly informs the work of NFTE, a global non-profit that provides entrepreneurial education for young people across the world. For the past 25 years, NFTE has provided programs that build skills in young people from low-income communities to stay in school, to recognize business opportunities and to plan for successful futures.
Our reach has covered 500,000 middle and high school students, and we're growing. We believe that building an entrepreneurial mindset that incorporates the ability to persevere, learn from your mistakes, act on opportunity and take calculated risks are key to preparing young people for the rigors that today's world presents them and to compete in an increasingly competitive global economy. NFTE is also working to develop measures of these skills – an Entrepreneurial Mindset Index – in innovative ways so that schools and school districts have more than just test scores to inform their policies and programs in the 21st century.
We celebrate the success of Dr. Duckworth and look forward to learning from her work to inform ours in the coming months.

Source: Martha Stewart Living, May 2008
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 3 cups mixed baby mesclun
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Within walking distance to Towne Center, the home at 2510 Fairway Drive is a mid-century modern design calling out to a buyer who is looking for something a little different. With lots of levels and lots of glass walls, this large contemporary home is situated on a shaded lot along the Baton Rouge Country Club golf course. Built in 1954 and upgraded over the years, this architect's home features two master suites, clean lines and five exterior exits. With closets, nooks and crannies galore, storage space is not a problem here.
The entrance is up six wide aggregate concrete steps from a double carport with a workshop. Brick planters line the steps up to a slate stoop just before the entry. To the right of a small foyer inside is a wood staircase that leads up to a big bonus room and down to the second master suite. The wall behind the staircase is glass, the first of many glass features in the home. Ahead, dark-stained antique pine floors the living room and dining room, and travertine tile is the other predominant flooring. Berber carpet is in the home's four bedrooms.
The living room and formal dining room are on opposite ends of a beautiful long area with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, providing an absolutely unobstructed view of the shaded back yard backing up to the golf course. On the living room end of this space, a wide electronic fireplace turns on with a click of a remote. Painted beams and a coffered ceiling top the whole space, which is down one step from the entry level of the home. Guests can step down from the foyer into the living room and step up into the kitchen from the dining room.
The kitchen is a long, modern setup. No antiquated appliances here. The stainless appliance package includes double ovens, and accents counters topped with stark white quartz for a clean bright look. A wide breakfast room adjoins the kitchen and has its own bar and windows to the front yard. The home's big L-shaped laundry room is behind the kitchen.
Meanwhile, the first master suite is down a short hall with glass that could best be described as a wall transom. The glass continues down the hall, then wraps around the edge of the master bedroom ceiling. The bath here has a vanity, a separate makeup desk and a tub/shower combination. A hallway from the master suite to two other bedrooms has a full bath on one side. The rest of the hall is lined with storage cabinets, closets and a drop off area. Bedroom No. 3 at the end of the hall has built-ins and is being used as a home office.
The second master suite on the opposite side of the home is down one level. It's is the larger of the two masters, and has a sitting area with a large window. Continuing the glass wall theme, a double row of glass blocks is at the half-wall level on one end of the bedroom. The second master's bath has two vanities and a closet, as well as built in dresser drawers.
Finally, a swinging glass door leads from the formal dining room to a side courtyard, where a gas line has been stubbed for an outdoor kitchen. The courtyard connects to a wide covered porch. The right buyer will fall in love with this unique contemporary home. If you think that might be you, Glenda Daughety with RE/MAX First will host an open house today from 2-4 p.m.

I have a table like the one in the illustration and I want to find a way to centre text vertically in the first column so that it is always centred relative to the left icon:
The first row is easy when the text takes up only one line - I simply set vertical-align: middle on the  and . However, I when the text overflows to the second line it goes down below the image - not what I want. I want it to be centred vertically like in the illustration (I made the second row as it should be in photoshop). How can I do it with CSS? I also tried float: left, but it failed as well. I know I could place the icon and the text into another table but that seems ugly.
Of course, this is a table so the width and height of the first column can be variable depending on how much content there is in other rows and cells so I don't want to set any fixed dimensions. And I'd like it to work in IE8+.
you need to wrap your text in a SPAN, and give THAT display:inline-block; that way the text(actually the SPAN) will be treated as a unit
Okay, I wrapped the text in a SPAN with inline-block but the SPAN sits next to the image only when the text is short. When it is longer than one line then the whole SPAN goes under the image.
Can you post a live example, or some code we can play with?
Try this:
image is in a , text is in a
; both tags are set to {display:table-cell}.

Saudi Arabia ranked high on a UN survey assessing countries' e-government infrastructure development. Above, Saudi students attend a class at the Technology College in Riyadh. [Fahad Shadeed/Reuters]
The Saudi government is intensifying its efforts to provide citizens with e-services to save time, reduce workloads, and to keep pace with the country's current electronic services boom, officials said.
Saudi Arabia came in 41st out of 193 governments assessed by the level of their e-government infrastructure development and ranked 21 out of 25 emerging leaders in e-government development, according to the 2012 edition of the United Nations E-Government Survey.
Abdullah al-Asmari is among those working with Saudi Arabia's e-government services.
He said Saudi Arabia's rank on the UN survey is due, among other reasons, to the abundance of quantitative and qualitative information available on the country's e-government portal.
"The e-government portal made Saudi citizens the focus of attention in terms of offering [them] services and adopting an approach that relies on the principle of transparency in communication with the [target] audience," al-Asmari told Al-Shorfa.
He said it is also important to recognise the kingdom's efforts to take advantage of successful experiences in this field by way of transferring expertise and using it locally.
Currently, Saudi Arabia's most prominent e-government services include the "Yesser" programme, which is slated to help the General Survey Authority establish a geospatial database and make it available through an integrated government channel.
Other services include the electronic transactions programme "Shawer", which helps the Shura Council operate 80% of its services electronically, and "Qudratak", a programme for basic computer skills and electronic transactions that helps the Council meet its needs and train its staff to keep pace with technological and informational changes.
Abdullah al-Ghaith, a former official at the Institute of Public Administration, said the performance of Saudi government agencies is not fully competitive in the context of globalisation.
"It makes sense in light of the technological revolution that, by pressing a button, citizens can complete their daily transactions and finalise their project licenses without the need for paper or waiting in long lines to process their applications," he said. "But the success of transitioning into a digital society still depends on providing information protection systems, most notably e-security."
Al-Arabiya's website reported earlier this month that Saudi authorities are seeking to implement a new national information security strategy.
The plan will be implemented in about two months and involves establishing a global information security centre that shares responsibility for protecting technical infrastructure against hacking, electronic theft or systematic attacks on government websites.
Abdul Rahman al-Dulaimi, an engineer for Saudi company "Bayanat al-Oula for Network Services", said implementing e-government services must be a collective effort involving all government entities.
"There are a series of interconnected e-government transactions, meaning that in order to complete a certain transaction, there must be an exchange of information among different government bodies," he said. "It would be insufficient to rely on only one ministry or government agency to complete the work cycle."
Meanwhile, several companies have begun building the infrastructure necessary to launch electronic services, and using collaboration programmes to exchange expertise in order to advance electronic transactions and share successful experiences.
Ahmed al-Jaber, who works in the field of information technology infrastructure applications, said he expects the electronic portal market to grow steadily.
"This growth is supported by levels of spending on e-government projects as well as by increased awareness on the part of different sectors when it comes to the benefits of such portals," he told Al-Shorfa.

The Callahan Report: Hornaday Dominates Louisville
13 July 1997LOUISVILLE KY: Getting through lapped traffic was Ron Hornaday's biggest concern while driving to his third victory in four races. Hornaday guided the NAPA Brakes truck to the lead by the end of lap one and never looked back. It was the NASCAR Sears Craftsman Truck Series champion's fourth victory of the year.
Ron Hornaday
Hornaday wasted little time getting by the all Dodge front row at the small D shaped track. The "on a roll" driver started his number 16 truck on the outside of the second row. He gave front row starter Tony Raines a bump going into turn three on the opening lap, sending the Pennzoil truck high on the track. Raines dropped all the way to seventh before dropping back in line. Hornaday then charged passed polesitter Jimmy Hensley as the trucks headed to the start/finish line.
Tony Raines: Bumped aside early.
The race settled and was a follow the leader parade at the front. Joe Ruttman, driving the LCI International truck, came home in second place. He started the race from the third spot. Jimmy Hensley drove a smart, safe race, bringing the Cummings Eng/Touch 1 pickup across the line in third. Raines made some good passes late in the race working himself back up to fourth at the end.
The event sponsor, Link Belt Construction, saw their truck involved in the worst incident of the day. Young driver Wayne Grubb slammed the Louisville concrete hard. The twenty-year old was taken in an ambulance to the on site care center. Late race traffic allowed Ruttman and Hensley to close on the leader but they could not make a move for the lead on the tight track. The heat (95 degrees air, 132 track) added to the slipping and sliding excitement for the capacity crowd on hand to witness the annual event.
Ten cars finished the race on the lead lap. Rich Bickle, driving the number 17 Sears DieHard truck, improved to fifth from his eleventh place starting spot. Stacy Compton finished sixth. Local favorite Scot Walters drove the Red Man Golden Blend Chevy to a seventh place finish. Jack Sprague, Boris Said, and Mike Wallace rounded out the top ten. Open wheel stars Mike Bliss and Kenny Irwin Jr. finished in thirteenth and eighteenth respectively.
Hornaday's win was the fourteenth of his truck career. He is closing fast on Mike Skinner's record sixteen truck race victories. With Hornaday's recent dominance, he will likely pass Skinner's mark by the end of the season. The Link Belt Construction 225 race at Louisville Motor Speedway marked the halfway point in the 1997 NASCAR Sears Craftsman Truck schedule.

Is it the greatest play in the English language? It might be.
"Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" is certainly one of Shakespeare's best plays. It is also one of his longest plays. A full performance can last more than 4 1/2 hours, and even at a free performance like Shakespeare by the Sea's — which runs again at Point Fermin Park in San Pedro on Thursday — it is more than the audience can endure. And it's not just because the wine will run out.
So "Hamlet" has to be cut. And with just two hours at the park, including intermission, it has to be cut a lot. That means the story comes first, with the poetry and introspection (and there is a lot of that in "Hamlet") being sacrificed. There are some of the famous soliloquies by Hamlet and Polonius, but action makes a bigger impact than thoughtful retrospection in this version.
Hamlet is played by the very young and heart-throbbingly handsome Cylan Brown, and from the start he is already haunted by his fate (and by the ghost, whose appearance onstage is immediate). His Hamlet is introspective, yes, but more in the action-hero mold. And when he draws his sword for the final duel at the play's end, you are almost relieved.
His Ophelia is Olivia Christina Delgado, and she plays a more prominent role in this version (perhaps because other parts are cut). She is lovely, plaintive, and confused by her life, which should be happy but is marred by Hamlet's feigned madness.
The story tells of King Claudius murdering his brother to assume the kingship, partly for his lust for Queen Gertrude, and that element is very forthright. Jay Castle is a virile Claudius, and his Gertrude (Kristina Teves) is sexy and delicious, concerned about her stepson Hamlet but not as much as she is concerned about her affair with Claudius.
Polonius is the effective Charles M. Howell IV, preaching to Hamlet, and killed accidentally. B.J. Allman is stalwart as Hamlet's friend Horatio, and Chris Aaron is a little comic relief as the Gravedigger.
This is a practical, straightforward telling of "Hamlet:" A story full of contradictions and an introduction for more detailed versions, but perfect for a breezy summer night.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Three hand grenades were found near Downtown Disney on Wednesday evening, according to authorities.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the grenades were discovered by a maintenance worker who was emptying a trash receptacle in the back lot of Downtown Disney.
The devices were close enough to the cast services building for it to be evacuated. This implies that a case member or worker may have put them there because guests are not allowed onto back lots.
Disney officials notified the Sheriff's Office after discovering the grenades, which resulted in the deployment of Orange County's bomb squad.
Once on scene, technicians said they determined the three devices to be hollowed out training grenades and did not appear to be dangerous.
The OCSO said the grenades were safely removed.
Disney would not comment about security concerns.

THE Worcestershire Stage of this year's Tour of Britain has been revealed at a special launch event in Worcester.
Stage Four of the Tour will be starting at The Hive in Worcester on Wednesday, September 10, in what will be the first time the race has returned to the county since 2008.
This year it is being hosted by Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership with support from Worcestershire County Council, Worcester City Council, Malvern Hills District Council and Wychavon District Council.
And one of Worcester's largest employers, Sanctuary Group, has also confirmed its sponsorship of the Tour through a Worcester schools engagement initiative and will be hosting cycling safety activities at local schools in the build up to the event.
The Worcestershire stage will start at The Hive before travelling through the city centre via The Butts, City Walls Road, Deansway, and New Road before heading up through St John's and Rushwick to Leigh Sinton.
Cyclists will pass through Malvern Link, Barnards Green, Welland and Upton then on to Pershore, Evesham and Broadway before passing into Gloucestershire and finishing in Bristol.
Worcester MP Robin Walker, who was at the launch yesterday, said the return of the tour to the county was "very exciting".
"It's a great opportunity for tourism and for local businesses to get behind us," he said. "It's nice to see the LEP supporting it. I think the more we can do to bring people to Worcestershire and show off the fantastic facilities the better."
Councillor Pam Davey, chairman of Worcestershire County Council, said: "I think all these activities tend to focus attention on Worcestershire and I know it's very well received by business and by the young people taking an interest.
"It's an extremely good thing for the county. All these events are opportunities to show people just what sort of things happen in Worcestershire and we really are a step ahead, thriving community."
Gary Woodman, Executive Director of Worcestershire LEP, added: "The return of the Tour of Britain to Worcestershire offers us a perfect opportunity to profile the county and all that it has to offer, both as a tourist and business destination.
"We are delighted to have such a showcase for Worcestershire and we are confident that the event will draw massive support and inject significant finances into the local economy. "
Full details of the Stage route through Worcestershire once it leaves Worcester City are still being finalised and will be announced at a later date.
Any businesses interested in sponsoring the Tour should call the Worcestershire LEP office on 01905 346180 or email email@example.com.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/7/2013 (1486 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Midsummer can be an excruciating time in farming. It's the waiting season, a time when wise farmers take the family to the lake so they don't have to helplessly watch what weather is doing to their crops or listen to what markets are doing to prices.
As good as the crop might be looking now, they are still weeks away from harvest and just a cloudburst way from disaster. Just ask farmers in western Manitoba.
But just as the weather is proving more volatile and unpredictable than ever, the markets are settling down -- literally --after three years of behaviour that fooled many into thinking a "new normal" had been established.
In fact, it was a standing joke that anyone can be a marketing genius when wheat is at $9 a bushel, canola is topping $14, and corn over $8. At prices half of that, where markets now appear to be headed, not so much.
"I don't want to portray it as all doom and gloom," said Mike Jubinville, president and market analyst with ProFarmer Canada. However, making a profit in the coming year is going to require a bit more finesse and a lot more planning.
Canola futures prices have tanked in the past week falling below what is considered "a key support level" of $520 a tonne or $11.79 a bushel. Several market analysts have predicted it will sink even lower in coming months.
Jubinville said the size of the incoming canola crop is less of an influence than some of the macro-factors in play.
The way Jubinville sees it, the past three years have been an anomaly rather than a new norm for global commodity markets, despite all the rhetoric about insatiable demand from a hungry world.
"Markets are inherently cyclical," he said. Rising demand pushes up prices, which draws in more production, which then pushes prices down. But a few things happened in recent years to give that pendulum arrhythmia.
The collapse in equity markets in 2008 pulled speculative money into commodity markets in a way never before seen as investors looked for safe places to invest. That surge caused those markets to swing faster and higher than before.
Demand for key price-setting crops such as corn skyrocketed as ethanol production in the U.S. ramped up. Within a few short years, an industry that once consumed relatively minor amounts of volume grew to where it was competing against traditional food and feed users for one-third of the available production.
Then crop failures cut into the available export supplies from key production regions of the world --such as the former Soviet Union, Europe, South America and finally, the historic drought that seemingly came out of nowhere last year in the U.S.
Corn was so tight in the U.S. last year, there were calls on U.S. politicians to shut down the ethanol industry in the name of feeding people and livestock rather than gas tanks. High feed prices caused the U.S. cattle herd to shrink to its smallest in 60 years. The hog sector also shrank as producers closed barns rather than pay more for feed than their pigs were worth. That demand is gone from the market as those herds rebuild, a process that takes more than a growing season.
Meanwhile, production in the major producing regions appears, at least so far, on the rebound. That means supplies are set to rise more quickly than the demand will recover, with ominous implications for prices.
Plus, now that equity markets appear to be entering a growth period, the speculative funds are withdrawing from agricultural commodity markets. Just as their entry into those markets exaggerated the highs, it is believed their exit will have a similar effect on the lows.
When Jubinville looks at these factors, he's thinking a return to historical price ranges is feasible, barring unforeseen production hiccups in major production regions of the world.
That's not to say profits are impossible, just that hitting the market highs will be harder. Instead of a sustained market rally of recent history, he's predicting the coming year will be characterized by smaller, sharper bursts to the upside.
And it helps of course, if farmers have something to sell, which brings us back to that weather.

Halonate ointment
Generic Name: halobetasol ointment and ammonium lactate (HAL-oh-BAY-ta-sol/a-MOE-nee-um LAK-tate)
Brand Name: Halonate
Halonate ointment is used for:
Treating inflammation and itching caused by certain skin conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Halonate ointment is a kit that contains a topical corticosteroid and a humectant. The corticosteroid reduces skin inflammation (redness, swelling, itching, and irritation). The humectant moisturizes and softens the skin.
Do NOT use Halonate ointment if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Halonate ointment
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Halonate ointment:
Some medical conditions may interact with Halonate ointment. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines or other substances
- if you have rosacea, any kind of skin infection, cuts, scrapes, or lessened blood flow to your skin
- if you have had a recent vaccination; you have measles, tuberculosis (TB), chickenpox, or shingles; or you have had a positive TB test

- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Halonate ointment before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Serious side effects may occur if too much of Halonate ointment is absorbed through the skin. This may be more likely to occur if you use Halonate ointment over a large area of the body.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1914 — Germany
As a young boy growing up in Berlin, Harry developed a love for the theater. At 15 he began acting in minor roles at a theater at the Nollendorfplatz. He was also apprenticed to a hairdresser but disliked the work. He spent most of his time with other actors, both at the theater and in nightclubs where homosexuals gathered.
1933-39: When the Nazis came to power, they closed the gay bars. Some homosexuals, especially those who were Jewish, were killed by Nazi hooligans; my friend "Susi," a drag queen, was stabbed to death. In 1936 I was arrested under the Nazi-revised paragraph 175 of the criminal code, which outlawed homosexuality. I was imprisoned in a camp at Neusustrum, where I worked in the marshes 12 hours a day. After 15 months I was released.
1940-44: In 1943 I was turned in by two boys pressured by the Gestapo to denounce homosexuals. Again I was sentenced under paragraph 175. Again I was released, this time after only eight months because friends in the theater intervened on my behalf. I was then drafted into the army but wherever I went, people knew of my 175 conviction and called me a "dirty faggot." I couldn't stand it and deserted twice. Finally, as punishment, I was sent to a special combat unit in which almost everyone was killed. Somehow I managed to survive.
After the war, Harry started his own small theater.

Without exception, the collected
eggs were plastic pieces that split into two parts and reassemble once
they have been filled with candy and other treats. My child was born on
an Easter Sunday, so many birthday parties included searches for these
types of eggs. For years after scavenger hunts lost their appeal, we
found plastic egg parts under shrubs and inside squirrel hollows, the
edges notched with tiny teeth marks.
Over the ages plastic egg
colors have ranged from your primary school color wheel: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, purple. Now the big box store shelves stock glitter
pageant-pink and tie dye eggs. There are even various shades in camo,
which I will never, ever understand considering the Easter message of
light and life. Let's mull that over for a breathe or two.
on, Easter egg hunts seem to me a major jump into spring, both feet
firmly planted in greening grass. Maybe those feet aren't bare yet, but
the promise of shoeless weather has been extended. Soon we'll enjoy
close encounters with eggs that haven't been molded, stamped and shipped
for one one-hundredths on the dollar from oversees to big box craft
I'm talking the true blue life affirmation robins' eggs of
the finest turquoise and frog eggs clusters that burst with squiggly
tadpoles. Even that male cardinal, the finch who beats himself senseless
on my mom's car's rearview mirror every morning, means love or akin to
it is thrumming through Northwest Ohio.
As for me, I will hunt for
warm, brown chicken eggs, the numbers of which will keep pace with the
growing grass. Each day leads me through straw, empty bee hives and
under donkey's hay for fresh eggs. Every find is exciting— a sign of
health and goodness for every season.

The seventh analysis of the St. Johns Bayou and New Madrid Floodway Project has been completed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and the Corps apparently is ready to take on government agencies, environmentalist, and scientist groups who oppose closing the quarter-mile gap in the levee along the Missouri portion of the Mississippi River.
The closing of the levee gap would make farming on the New Madrid flood plain much more profitable for farmers who lose crops or are hindered in planting because of flooding every three to five years. Around 100,000 acres are currently farmed in the flood plain.
The concern is that as much as 55,000 acres of "wetlands that provide backwater habitat for fish and waterfowl" would be destroyed by completing the Corps plan.
Area residents reportedly don't see the extent of wetlands that the activists claim will be harmed. Lynn Bock, the attorney for the St. John Levee and Drainage District, contends the Environmental Protection Agency and Interior Department officials have "overestimated the extent of wetlands in the region, especially on agricultural land," wrote Juliet Eilperin with The Washington Post in paraphrasing Bock and local farmer's contentions.
For some reason, as one former George W. Bush official put it, "the decision nearly a century ago to turn the Mississippi River from a wild river to a managed river" has never been completely settled.
Eilperin wrote that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the EPA have officials arguing that 93 percent of the lower Mississippi flood plain has been eliminated and the Corps closing this levee gap will basically wipe out the rest.
Allowing the flooding of farmland in this area of Missouri, like occurred in 2011, supposedly has been the escape factor to keep Cairo, Ill., from flooding, and an early pre-release evaluation of the full Corps report by The Washington Post didn't explain how Cairo flooding will be alleviated in the future. But the Corps new proposal definitely indicated East Prairie, Mo., won't be protected from flooding.
In 2007, a U.S. District judge ruled the Corps didn't complete appropriate environmental analysis and halted the Corps construction of a project thought to be similar to the new project being proposed. Eilperin reported the Corps spent $12 million during 4 ½ year to restore the site. At that point, there was little anticipation that the Corps would do its seventh analysis and plan on filling the wetlands gap in the river levee.

John Tortorella:
"We fought back a couple of times. I thought we did a lot of good things underneath the hashmark offensively. We just couldn't get the lead. And it's frustrating."
On the PK and d-zone coverage:
"You look at the goal in the second period where they go up 2-0. We're really good, where our defense is not allowing plays to come between the defenseman and the post out in the slot area. (Rozsival) is there, but he isn't, and it doesn't get done. We made some mistakes defensively. But some of it, it's one of those games that ends up being wide open. Both teams were wide open.
"But we have to continue to work in our end zone on some of the things. I'm really happy about a lot of things with our team, but there are some things that we still have to work on to be a better club."
On the penalties:
"The one that frustrated me, and we get scored on again, it's the same play Michael Del Zotto did the prior game. You can't do it. You can't. No matter if you agree with it or not, that's what they're calling. You can't do it. It's a penalty."
"Now at the end of the game, on the goal, Dubi gets blatantly interfered with penalty killing, and prior to that, the penalty called (on Brian Boyle), I don't get it. And I'm not going to whine. I don't want to whine about it. But it just frustrates the hell out of me when two teams fight so hard and you end up, it's really a non-call there. And that's frustrating. I guess I am whining a little bit, but it just pisses me off. It does because I think the teams need to decide it.
"And then after that, Dubi's is a blatant interference on the faceoff he loses before the power play goal is scored. Blatant interference."
On the work ethic:
"Yeah, we did a lot of good things. I still think we have to close up our neutral zone at times. I still think our gaps need to be better. Defensively we still have to work on things. But I'm not unhappy with the work habit of the hockey club tonight. We did a lot of good things that way."
On Chistensen and Frolov, whom he had kind of called out before the game:
"Played much better. They did. Erik on the power play, on that one power play he was dominant, and he made other good plays. And Frolov also. So hopefully we can continue.
"You can't get down. You don't get rewarded but we still have to continue to work at how we're going to play. I thought it was more consistent tonight. Although we made some mistakes, I thought it was more consistent on how we want to play."
On home vs. road records:
"Last year you could crawl all over us about our (home) starts. Our starts have been good. I thought we played a harder game, more consistently, tonight than the other night. Again, tonight we still made some mistakes, but we were much harder.
"I don't even want to talk about it because I think we talk ourselves into it. We've got to keep on fighting here. You can't break apart. It's still early, but we have to keep on trying to recreate ourselves as far as how we're going to play. We need to stay consistent with that and I think things will bounce our way, home or away."
On whether Stepan did more of what he wants to see.
"At times. He was better, he was better. There's still a lot of work there, and there's going to be for quite a while."

A short film capturing the everyday lives of some of the 47,000 unpaid carers in Wiltshire has been launched today.
Carers Voices is the latest in a series of DVDs organised by Wiltshire Council to highlight the stories of people who may not always have a voice.
The series records the thoughts of different groups of people who may not always go to meetings to make their views known, so their experiences can be considered in key decision making.
A number of unpaid carers speak in the film, explaining how caring for a family member or friend has affected them. The film shows some of the challenges they face including taking time out for themselves and the physical and emotional challenges of caring. It also looks at their hopes and dreams for the future.
Six carers speak on the film including a wife looking after her husband with dementia, an 18-year-old carer and a mother who cares for one child and faces challenges looking after her other children.
A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family or friends who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or substance misuse issues. In the 2011 census it showed that there were 47,608 carers who provide unpaid care in Wiltshire.
Keith Humphries, cabinet member for public health, said: "This DVD delivers a powerful message which everyone should hear Many unpaid carers continue to be unseen who have often been silently struggling to cope with their responsibilities. I hope this film reassures carers that they are not alone and help and support is available."
Corporate director for public health Maggie Rae said: "Hearing from people about their experiences can reveal so much more than leafing through a report. This film will be used to help raise awareness amongst the public and health and social care professionals about the issues affecting unpaid carers in Wiltshire and what can be done to support them."
The film is the 13th in a series called the Wiltshire Voices project. The first 12 films received central government funding and captured the stories, views and opinions of different groups from Army wives, Polish people and stroke survivors.
It was decided to add another which was commissioned by Wiltshire Council and NHS Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group and co-ordinated by Carer Support Wiltshire to highlight this important field, and the film and the other 12 can be viewed online at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshirevoices.

Betty Takes Fashion Week: Retro Looks at Milly and More!
Plus, PJ dishes on impractical swimwear at Gottex and the well-placed snack truck.
-The Betty Editors
What PJ said about Milly, Gottex and surviving Fashion Week:
On my way to the tents, I noticed a coffee truck parked nearby that was offering free Illy coffee, lattes, espressos and biscotti! I was starving and went over to it. Turns out, the truck was a promotion from the Sundance Channel. They wanted to create awareness for their new reality TV show, Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys.
At the OneStopPlus.com curvy fashion show, I bumped into an old friend; author Jene Luciani (The Bra Book, amazon.com). We ended up palling around the day. We sat next to each other at shows, gossiped, laughed and oohed and aahed over the clothing.

The Big D BearDance brings in the Brit-based DJ HiFi Sean to the turntables at its annual TBRU dance party, but you probably knew him well before tonight's event.
Sean Dickson made his splash in music in the late 80s and early 90s as the frontman for The Soup Dragons who struck gold with the singles "I'm Free" and "Divine Thing." But even as a waifish, hipster frontman for a popular band in an exciting alt-rock and pop music landscape, Dickson didn't let go of his DJ dreams — but it was also a hint of other things.
"When I would mix and DJ back then, I would play a lot of 'gay' music," he said. "That should have been a clue!"
