Comparison of Four Entry Level Home Theater Projectors – Overview
Ease of Use
Each of these projectors offers about the same level of difficulty to take out of the box, plug in, and connect the cables. If you are totally clueless about component video, HDMI, and other connections, I'll suggest you read the manuals, and the startup guides. Ultimately there are only 2 – 3 things to plug into a home theater projector, if that many, beside the power cord.
Many buyers will have a home theater surround system that may or may not switch video sources for your projector. If it does, you probably will have only one source – the receiver, being plugged into the projector, plus power. If you don't have a receiver, you will plug your DVD player, cable/satellite box, and possibly game machine orVCRs in separately.
From a standpoint of remotes and menus, each of these projectors, once set up, requires little adjustment. Most notably you may want to change settings in going from movies, to the type of viewing where you are likely to have some light on in the room, like watching sports, or playing a video game. All four of these projectors allow you to change directly from the remotes, from modes like Cinema or Movie to TV or Bright, or Dynamic (the terms will vary from model to model)
When It comes to the menus and navigating of them, I would have to consider the Epson the best, followed by the Optoma and BenQ. However with the BenQ, you don't get any access to "advanced" color controls, etc.
BenQ W100
The limited advanced menu features is a strength and a weakness of the BenQ W100. It is the "plug and play" projector of the group. It works best for people who don't want to fiddle with settings, tweaking, etc., but just want to plug in and watch.
The matching Remote control is downright excellent. I may be biased, as I own the top of the line BenQ projector, the PE8720, and it uses the same remote, (but mine has more buttons). The remote is great! It's large, buttons are well spaced out (even for large hands), the backlight is very bright, and buttons are organized intelligently. And also important, the remote has lots of range. I could bounce the signal off of my screen and have the projector pick it up easily over 30 feet away (total). Nothing worse than a weak remote that requires you to turn around to adjust the projector (assuming you are sitting in front of the projector, which should be true with three of the four projectors (except the InFocus).
InFocus IN72
Menus are plain looking, and very deep in terms of layer of menus, not what I consider ideal. There are a great number of adjustments you can make, in almost all areas, so while you learn your projector, keep the manual handy. (It's manual is on CD, and is a pretty good manual – that's a complement – however a hard copy manual would be a real plus.
The accompanying remote is small, and LED lit, it even can double as a LED flashlight (not a bad thing at all, I used that function many times, while taking notes). Overall I found the remote to be excellent, with one reservation that applies to the remote and the control panel, and for that matter, InFocus'es methods of navigation.
Let me explain. Most remotes rely on a menu button, plus four arrow keys for navigation, an Enter button, and usually an escape, or other button that moves you back up toward the first level menus. This is true of the other three projectors. Not so the InFocus. They use a 4 button system instead of 7. Once you bring the menu up, there are just up and down arrows and an enter. To move back up a level, you have to select "Previous" off of the menu you are on. This takes longer, and generally is a mild pain, by comparison. I think it also tends to force InFocus to have more menu levels. It's not more difficult to understand, it just has you doing a lot more clicking, to get the same job done. For example you might be on an advanced menu, on the 8th item down where you just made an adjustment. Now you want to go to the previous menu, so you hit the up arrow 7 times to get to previous, then hit enter. With the others, one button does it. That said, you will spend the vast majority of your life watching content, not playing with the remote, so don't let this be a deal breaker if the InFocus otherwise looks best for you.
Optoma H27
Nothing wrong at all, with the menus, or their organization, however, the remote is weak, in terms of range, and the backlight not very bright. Since the remote is well laid out, the backlighting shouldn't be a problem, as it's not that bad, and you'll quickly learn where the most often used buttons are. (You'll also learn quickly that any button lights up all the buttons).
It's the range that bothers me. When I reviewed the unit, most of my watching was in my viewing room – which is fairly large, and my screen is 128″ diagonal. I did not completely fill the screen, but I still couldn't consistantly get a good bounce off of the screen to the remote sensor on the front of the projector – that was about 25 feet total. I found the range to be pretty much limited to 20 feet total. (note my screen is a gray surface – with a white surface screen, the bounce may be longer).

She was supposed to perform at a special Corporate Night fundraiser with the Chicago Symphony on May 20 and at Connecticut's Foxwoods Resort and Casino May 26.
A message on her Facebook page reads:
Due to her doctor's recommendation for treatment during the time frame of May 20 & 26, Ms. Aretha Franklin has regretfully withdrawn from her scheduled performances at Foxwoods Resort & Casino and with Members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) on Monday, May 20 at 7:30 p.m. celebrating the 24th annual Corporate Night. Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Janelle Monáe has graciously agreed to perform for this special performance. Monáe's popularity has skyrocketed since her 2010 album debut with The ArchAndroid.

For this performance Monáe showcases her unique talent for fusing R&B with pop and soul all while embracing expansive and vibrant orchestrations through some of her most popular songs. This program will be debuted with the San Francisco Symphony on Thursday, May 16, 2013.
The League of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association celebrates its 24th annual Corporate Night, which pays special tribute to Chicago's business community each year with a one-night-only performance that pairs musicians from the CSO with some of today's most popular artists. Proceeds from this important fundraising event benefit the CSO's general operations and nationally recognized community engagement and music education programs.
Corporations can participate as sponsors or purchase tables for the evening, which includes an exclusive pre-concert dinner and prime seats for the special concert with Janelle Monáe. Sponsorships start at $25,000 and table packages range from $800 to $16,000.

Power station row rumbles on
A trust made up of north Wales councillors could face legal action over a decision on the future of a site earmarked for a possible gas power station.
It is understood that the Isle of Anglesey Charitable Trust has decided to sell the option to buy the Rhosgoch site to Burlington Resources.
Ynys Mon Council is keen to see a new gas power station on Anglesey.
Land at Rhosgoch, which is controlled by a Charitable trust made up of the island's councillors, has been earmarked as a suitable site.
Rival bidders
Three companies have been bidding for the right to buy the option on the land with a view to ultimately developing a power station there.
It is understood that, following presentations from the three bidders on Thursday, the councillors decided to accept a bid by Burlington Resources.
As an agreement has yet to be signed, the Trust has yet to confirm the deal.
But Canatex Energy Ventures Ltd, one of the rival bidders, said it might launch a legal bid to challenge the decision.

Samsung Galaxy Note - the total package?

Well, I upgraded my Note to ICS last night. I don't see much difference in terms of usability, but it does seem a bit more "polished".
The upgrade process was somewhat more arduous than I've seen before. They don't have an OTA upgrade path, and it must be done on a PC or Mac (I saw a post where someone did in on a Linux box using Wine) using Kies (Samsung's answer to iTunes). Samsung's servers are a bit busy right now, and it took me more than an hour to download and install Kies, but once that was done it went smoothly.
My Note preserved all my data and apps, and automatically upgraded any apps that have newer versions for ICS, but it didn't preserve my home screen icons, so I had to go through the hassle of re-doing that. It also didn't preserve my Bluetooth pairings, I didn't realize that until I was on my way to work this morning and my hands free didn't pair.
Since I only upgraded last night, I don't have a feel for battery life yet, the propaganda says it should improve; we'll see.

From Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program
Artist: Linda Rossi
December 13, 1996 - February 2, 1997
Minnesota Artists Gallery
This installation featured the work of photographer/installation artist Linda Rossi, who combined illuminated sculpture, video, sound, and still photography in a 'room of the seasons" designed to focus on human and environmental exchange. In her four installations Rossi over-lapped images of the environment (still work and video footage from Minnesota and Africa) and the human body in multireferential narratives that explore personal, cultural, and geographical territories.
The objects and images found throughout Rossi's exhibit were intended to describe emotion and reveal a variety of themes, including psychological cover-ups (depicted by such images as snow or eyelids), decorative illusion (represented by curtains and clouds), and the elusiveness of time (the clay heart pendulum of her grandmother clock "measures desire instead of time").
Through her metaphors, Rossi reckons with sorrow and loss; her ritualized, shrinelike presentation puts the magic and beauty of daily life into context.

Although you wouldn't believe it to look at her, Doris Bullock (pictured above) turned 101 on 25 February 2014.
Over the course of her long life, Doris married Jim, with whom she had 2 children, David and Hilary. Doris is now a great-grandmother, and head of a family who describe her as 'an extremely dignified, loving, strong-minded and humble lady - a true inspiration to us all'.
Doris shares her wisdom on the importance of being happy, and explains why she's a fan of Eggheads:
Keep out of trouble, and try to keep fit and healthy. My diet has generally consisted of eating little but often, and I was taught to always chew my food. Exercise regularly: I used to walk a lot when I was younger and used to have fitness routines such as touching my toes 10 times a day.
In later life I think it's important to keep your mind active. I love doing crosswords and always read the newspaper front to back. I also love watching Eggheads on TV and guessing the answers.
Above all, I think the most important wisdom I can give is to be happy and enjoy life. Also never be afraid to ask questions when you can as you may never get the chance again. One big regret that I have is that I never knew my mother as she died when I was two. I never asked my Dad about her as he remarried and didn't want to make things difficult for him, but I wish I had, so I would know more about her.
Meeting my husband was a very happy time for me. He has sadly passed on, but those happy memories will stay with me.
I also have a very lovely and kind family, and I get a lot of pleasure spending time with them. I'm not able to get out of the house as much these days, so if I know that I'm seeing family it gives me something to look forward to.
Remaining as independent as I can for someone at my age also makes me happy. I would still go into town on my own at the age of 99 to get my hair done; I now have a lady who comes to my house to do this.
I feel lucky that my son and daughter live close by and they call in on me regularly, and I am extremely grateful for that. Over the last 6 months I have had carers come and visit me in the mornings and evenings. Some of them are very nice, and I now see them as friends.
My husband and I built up many friends over the years. We were regular attendees at church and some of the other churchgoers remain close friends, keeping in touch with me and this also makes me happy.
I feel that I have been treated very well and I feel very lucky for that. I can see that other people are not as fortunate as me and that's a shame.
The older generation can teach the new generation about the past and that's something which should never be overlooked. I have seen a lot of changes in my time. I have lived through two world wars, I remember having to hide under the kitchen sink when a Zeppelin came over the house when I was very young.
There have been so many changes in fashion, transport and technology. For instance, I remember the old rubbing boards for washing, and dolly blue water and making starch as we didn't have irons in those days. But I wouldn't know what to do without a washing machine these days!
I feel that my age has just crept up on me. In some ways, I don't feel any different from when I was younger, but then in other ways such as my balance and mobility, it's certainly getting a bit harder to get around.
Family is what's really important to me and that comes first. I now have memories which I treasure such as seeing my children, grandchildren, and now my great grandchildren grow up.
And finally, now it's important to me that I'm able to look after myself, remain independent, and live in my own home for as long as possible.

Magic on a Dime
Take the kids to Disney without breaking the bank
Looking for something to do while we're stuck inside during this record setting below zero streak?
I can't think of too many things more pleasant than planning a getaway from all this cold and snow. Planning a trip to Disney with your family this spring can be a great relief, and you'll need to do some planning and preparation to have the vacation be one you'll all enjoy.
The look on your children's faces when they see Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and their favorite of any of the Disney Princesses is worth any price. But the real question is how are you going to afford a priceless memory like this at almost $1,000/day.
However, there are ways to see all the magic at a fraction of what you think it will cost you for a Disney vacation.
Despite conventional wisdom, flying sometimes is not worth the cost. The cost is often more than monetary. Frustration with flight delays, airport security, and tension mounting as the kids get more antsy can start any trip off on the wrong foot.
With flight delays and cancellations growing at nearly 70% over last year during the heavy November-December travel period, most airlines have cut so deep that's it's impacting the flying experience to the point where driving is both financially and mentally a more reasonable alternative.
So, start off your planning by considering driving down to the Magic Kingdom....you'll save a bundle over airfare and you'll have the convenience of having a car with you to see ..... ;ja;lsf;ljf
What about the cost of hotels?
If you plan the trip out in advance you can use frequent traveler points earned via hotel stays and any one of a number of different hotels' credit card programs. If you want to save some money without sacrificing your vacation lifestyle it's time to think about cashing in on those miles and points you've earned. Hilton Honors is one of the best frequent traveler programs out there with a combination of extra point stays and giving airline points in addition to hotel points. Highly rated by ....al;jsfljs;fl As we drove through Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia we found a Hampton Inn that exceeded our expectations. The whole way we were able to book using Hilton points and save a bundle. We stayed in some outstanding facilities including the Atlanta downtown Hilton Garden Inn.
What about staying at a Disney resort?
The Disney resorts come in three categories: value, moderate, and deluxe. The prices are roughly what you would expect, but the difference between the levels is large in price, value, and acomodations. If you want to avoid the crowds, and stay in an "adult" hotel that has lots of activities for the kids then look no further than the Hilton at Downtown Disney. It is the only non-Disney hotel to offer the "extra magic hours" and offers guests a large pool and dining area with three pools and a semi-private hot tub area for adults.
A quick drive to the Disney parks, you can save cash and time by parking in the Disney lots and taking a break in the middle of the day for rest. Take a nap, a dip in the pool, but use this advice...a;ljf;lskjf;lks w

"We are a loving married couple that are looking to fill our dreams," the ad says. "I can have children but I cannot carry them. We will love any child that is blessed to us."
A gay man from Christmas Island is also using the website to search for a surrogate mother.
In his ad, 42-year-old Steve says he is desperate to have a baby of his own.
"However, being gay has obviously put up one obstacle and the other is trying to find a surrogate who does not have a problem with this," the ad says.
"I am not in a position to pay any huge fees although if I had a million dollars I would gladly pay it to have my own child."
Stuart from Bunbury has also placed an ad for a surrogate mother to "create a wonderful child to whom I can devote myself".
In his ad, Stuart says he already has two children, but he only sees them two days a fortnight.
"I am an experienced parent, have lots of 'step' children and personal references and am seeking this as a true understanding of what I want to devote my life to," the ad says.
The first legal Australian surrogate resulted in the birth of a baby girl in Canberra in 1996.
Under ACT laws, altruistic surrogacy is legal, allowing friends or relatives to enter into unpaid surrogacy agreements.
Public debate about surrogacy ignited in 1998, when the High Court ordered a Victorian couple to return a baby to her birth mother.
The child, known only as Evelyn, was conceived in a surrogacy arrangement with longtime friends of the couple.

Fisher Body plant to remain vacant
The former site of Fisher Body and General Motors Pittsburgh Metal Stamping Division operations in West Mifflin apparently will remain vacant.
At Tuesday's council meeting, borough community development director Walter B. Anthony said an Atlanta auto parts supplier withdrew a bid to buy the 72-acre lot along Lebanon School Road.
"Negotiations with the owner (Mifflin LLC) fell apart," Anthony said. "They were in the process of getting a conditional use application."
GM owned the location from Dec. 23, 1948, until April 1, 2011, when it changed hands in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan filed by GM successor Motors Liquidation Co.
GM's Pittsburgh Metal Stamping Division plant was sold for $1.2 million to Commercial Development Co. Inc., which sold it to Mifflin LLC for $2.78 million.
Commercial Development and Mifflin LLC have the same address in St. Louis.
Atlanta-based Pull-A-Part calls itself "the Rolls Royce of do-it-yourself used auto part superstores." It has an online www.pullapart.com operation and 25 locations in 12 states.
The parties involved could not be reached for comment at presstime.
The Fisher Body plant once made about 200 parts for GM cars and trucks and employed more than 1,500 workers.
It closed in early 2008 when a bid by Allegheny Holdings LLC to buy it from GM and save the last 200 jobs collapsed for lack of financing.
In October 2010, Motors Liquidation set up a $773 million trust fund for the cleanup of hazardous waste at former GM properties in 14 states.
For Pennsylvania, where the West Mifflin plant was the only property on the list, $3.3 million was set aside.
Anthony said nine residential permits and three commercial permits were issued last month, a commercial plan was reviewed.
Public works director James Hess said Pennsylvania American Water made repairs last week to portions of Homestead-Duquesne and Thompson Run roads between Coral Lanes and Bull Run, where a water line was laid a month and a half ago.

Four at the Forum
Refusing to give up on my great-grandfather's death date, we drove to Molise's capital city, Campobasso. Luckily a gentleman actually walked us to the Archivio di Stato, or we'd still be there climbing up and down the mountains of stairs searching for it. Once inside I said, English? She said, Italiano? Non!! Parlez-vous français? Oui! Voila! We can communicate!
Document after document, phone call after phone call, two hours later we were actually relieved they gave up. Michelina's prosciutto di cotto and prosciuttella were calling to us. And then luscious desserts from a pasticceria!
Having missed the turn-off for Saepinum we drove first to Isernia with its church dating back to 1275 and the cattedrale. Also known for its lace, we were only able to window shop since siesta time is 1:00 to 4:00.
Saepinum is situated on the spot where in 1000 BC, the shepherds traded their wool with the farmers. Those Samnites were conquered by the Romans in the First Century BC, so Augustus built a commercial center in Saepinum that lasted for about four hundred years-complete with forum, amphitheater, market, necropoli, walls, and baths. After the fall of Rome in 476, Saepinum went into decline and was sacked by the Saracens in 882. Now you can see farmers living amid these overgrown first century ruins. Imagine having a whole Roman town all to ourselves! Sitting in the amphitheater, standing in the basilica built to honor pagan gods, walking through the massive entrance archways was a humbling experience that none of us will forget.
We arrived back in Ripabottoni just in time for dinner of zucchini soup, pork chops with Indonesian spices, saffron risotto, and herbed mashed potatoes.

Peter + Zinfandel =
Zinfandel wasn't always made this way. Given a chance, zinfandel can make an elegantly balanced, soil-expressive, ageworthy wine. Last night my friends and I tasted a number of zins from Joseph Swan, one of the old masters of the variety. The 1986, one of the last vintages made by Swan himself, was impressively youthful, with a dark, rich concentration of fruit and firm acidity to hold it in place. I was a little less enthralled with the 1985, which felt compressed and one-dimensional, or with the 1983, which was the only one that showed a roasted, warm-weather character to the fruit. The 1982, however, was my favorite of the night – rich, complex and harmonious, it saturated the palate through intensity of flavor rather than relying on weight or ripeness, and appeared to be at an optimal point of maturity. I also loved the 1981 for its crisp, cranberry-like acidity and juicy, high-toned sense of red fruit flavor.
None of these wines had the alcohol listed on the label, but I doubt that any of them could be higher than 13 percent. None of them felt in the least bit alcoholic, nor did any of them exhibit any trace of overripeness. Even the 1983 felt roasted from warm weather rather than desiccated from over-maturity as many modern wines are. I realize that these might not be the sort of wines that true zin lovers are looking for, and in fact, some might be distinctly disappointed with them. But for me, this style is so much more intrinsically worthwhile than the over-extracted, alcoholic fruit bombs. I'm not saying that there aren't good zins being made today. I don't think, though, that anyone is making wines like these. If they did, I might be more interested in zinfandel.
5 comments:
any idea about the more recent vintages being produced at Joseph Swan? Also, I was wondering if the friends who have been holding these or who had been intrigued enough to buy them were also fans of Nalle in Dry Creek Valley and/or Sky Zinfandel on Mt. Veeder. These two wineries doggedly stick to their guns and make the wines in the same way they made them and have been making them since before anyone had ever heard of Turley that is to say, with finesse and balance, not at all what today's Zin fan's want or expect. I brought these back into New York with David Bowler Wine after they had been out of the market for years, victims of the high alcohol, high extraction trend that now seems synonymous with the grape. We tasted verticals at each winery and were wowed at the consistent quality and though I'm hardly well versed on California wine, by benefit of tasting multiple vintages of each they certainly seemed to be possessed of the transparency of site and vintage that we enjoy finding in Burgundy and Germany. The wines have had some success in NY, especially Sky which has a little more cult cache and has the geeky marketable distinction of being made by a hermit named Lore Olds who lives year round at the vineyard on Mt. Veeder in a tar paper shack with no electricity. This is Napa? (Our visit there also relates to your cooking over open fire blog entry as we were treated to one of the best meals I've had, prepared by Lore's girlfriend who just happens to work at Chez Panisse!) The winery is right there and also operates free of electricity. The winery space is dominated by a huge vat that contains the entire production of the 2003 and 2004 vintages which went horribly bad and is only sellable for distilling purposes because of experimentation with limited sulpher use. Oops. 2005 was put back on track with the help of Lore's incredibly beautiful daughter Mayacamas (it's true! That's her given name, Maya for short) whose strained relationship with her father along with his very questionable and possibly deteriorating grasp on reality leaves one to question the reliability of the future production from this very unique winery. I can vouch for the 2002 however, it is absolutely stellar and the 2005 is said by reliable sources to be quite good. I highly recommend trying both Sky and Nalle to anyone with an inerest in real old school Zinfandel.

With this post, I am closing the book on this series. Thanks for joining me in this tour of Malacca. I may start posting random photos before I start with a new series.

The Ruins of St. Paul Church
This church was originally a small chapel built by a Portuguese captain Duarto Coelho in 1521 and called "Nosa Senhora - Our Lady of the Hill". The chapel was handed over to the "Society of Jesus" in 1548 and enlarged in 1556 with the addition of a second storey renamed "Anunciation". A tower was added in 1950.
When the Dutch took over Melaka from Portuguese, they changed the name to St. Paul's Church and used it for 112 years until their own church, Christ the Church (the red church I featured previously) was completed in 1753.
St. Paul's Church lost its tower when the British took over but had one new feature added to it - the lighthouse at the front. The British however did not use the church for worship, but used it instead for storage of gunpowder. They also erected a tall flagpole and renamed the hill on which the church is sited to Flagstaff Hill (Bukit Bendera). The name, however, did not last. The flagpole was taken down and the church abandoned
The renowned Spanish-born Jesuit missionary, St. Francis Xavier was a regular visitor to the church from 1545 to 1552 and when he died his body was interred here for nine months before being exhumed and taken to his final resting place in Goa, India. A statue of St. Francis was built in 1952 to commemorate his passing and internment here.
The St. Paul's church ruins were gazetted as an old monument and historical site under the Antiquities Act No. 168/1976 on May 12, 1977.

Oil palm trees as far as the eyes can see.
Oil palm has replaced rubber as the country's leading agricultural export. Oil palm produces palm oil which is used in both edible and nonedible products.

City Walk
Spotted this while taking a walk around the city. I am not really sure but if my memory serves me correctly they called this the freedom hall (something like that).
It was so bright that day, the sun was ablaze, it was hot. But looking at this picture (sans processing at all), it doesn't seem like a hot day.

The Stadthuys
Situated in Melaka city.
The Dutch Square is famous for its red-painted buildings. It has a display of many unique Dutch mansonry and architectural skills. The Stadthuys, in the Dutch Square, was built in 1650, it is a typical Dutch building with a clock tower. It was once an official home to the Dutch Governors. The Melaka Clock Tower was built in 1886.

Christ Church
In the center of the city is Malacca's famous Dutch Square. It is also known as the Red Square because of the crimson colored old buildings that surrounds the area. To me the most dominant building is the Christ Church completed in 1753.
It was formerly the Dutch Reformed Church of Malacca, but is now an Anglican Church.
The pink bricks were brought from Holland and plastered with local red laterite.
It is the oldest surviving Dutch church building found outside the Netherlands.
It simply is gorgeous. I read that this is a popular place for photo shoot of newlyweds. Red brick building is the perfect backdrop for any kind of photo shoot. Plus red is considered lucky with Chinese, right.

It's a pity the sun was really bearing down on us that day that it was advisable to stay indoors. They are beautifully decorated. I believe every country has a version of it.

Welcome To Malacca
Here are the pictures I took on a day trip to Malacca in Malaysia.
Malacca or Melaka in malay is known for its historical prominence and its cultural appeal. In the 16th century, Melaka enjoyed a reputation as the foremost maritime trading center in the region. So coveted was Melaka by the European powers that it was ruled successively by the Portuguese, Dutch, and English until the Federation of Malaysia was formed on 8/31/57. (Info from Malacca flier)

Today's Fashionista is not only an expert at finding deals online, but she knows how to find that happy medium between comfortable and girly. I was heading to class when I caught a glance of her floral backpack and I knew I just had to get her advice on trends, her style inspiration and her love for anything Korean.
Name: Maria Chavez
Major: Political Science
Year: Junior
CollegeFashionista: Tell me about what you are wearing.
Maria Chavez: I received this denim jacket as a present two years ago for Christmas . I got this black dress from Papaya and the shoes came from Mexico. I got this ring at a flea market for a dollar and my backpack I ordered it online from eBay.
CF: Where do you get your style inspiration from?
MC: My style inspiration comes from watching Korean dramas to browsing the web. I have always been influenced by what the main characters wear in those dramas.
CF: How has your style change throughout the years?
MC: When I was younger, I wanted to wear everything that I saw advertised in magazines. Nowadays it's more about the comfort yet looking fashion-foward.
CF: What is your favorite accessory item?
MC: My favorite accessory would have to be a bag because of the range of choices available. Anything that is considered a bag, such as a purse or backpack and if it looks unique, then I will buy it without thinking twice.
CF: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
MC: I would have to say Seoul, South Korea because the people there are always super trendy. I like how they are always up for trying new trends and most of the youth there looks fashionable whether they are a guy or girl. Aside from fashion, I enjoy watching Korean dramas and eating Korean food when I get the chance. My hopes are to one day visit and learn more about their culture.
CF: What advice could you give to our Fashionista/os who are on a college budget?
MC: Clearance section is your best friend! Don't always follow trends because it is not meant for everybody. Just wear whatever feels natural to you.
How To: To look girly and feel as comfy as today's Fashionista, make sure to wear your favorite black dress and a pair of oxford shoes. Add the denim jacket to your ensemble to achieve that laid back appeal. If you are looking for something with a grungy feel then add a leather jacket instead. To add the finishing touches to this look, add on a bedazzled ring to your finger and a floral backpack. Thanks to today's Fashionista, you too can be comfortable and girly at the same time!

- "The second film is where we start zooming in on the characters and getting to the heart of them, challenging them, and pushing them deeper."
- ―Rian Johnson
Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, marketed as Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is the upcoming eighth film in the Star Wars saga and second film in the sequel trilogy. The film was written and directed by Rian Johnson and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman along with executive producer J.J. Abrams. It is currently in post-production, and is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 15, 2017. The film will begin immediately after the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.[5][8] It sees the return of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. New cast members include Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran.
- "Rian [Johnson] is definitely going to places and investigating things that haven't really been done in the 'Star Wars' universe. For me, it's so fun getting to explore different things that I wouldn't have expected in this universe. In some ways it feels like we're making an independent film. Certain things we get to play with – this kind of intimacy that we get to find – it's special. It's been really fun."
- ―Oscar Isaac
Unofficial reports claimed in November 2012 that Lawrence Kasdan—who originally wrote the screenplays for both Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi—and Simon Kinberg would divide writing responsibilities for Star Wars Episodes VIII and IX, and both would co-produce all three films of the upcoming sequel trilogy.[9] However, in February 2013, Disney confirmed that Kasdan and Kinberg were working on standalone films, not saga films.[10]
On June 20, 2014, a spokesperson for director Rian Johnson confirmed that he would write and direct Episode VIII, as well as pen a story treatment for Star Wars: Episode IX. Ram Bergman, Johnson's frequent collaborator, was also confirmed to be brought onto the project as a producer, working alongside Kathleen Kennedy.[1] To prepare for Episode VIII, Johnson and crew screened select classic films such as The Bridge on the River Kwai, Gunga Din, Letter Never Sent, Sahara, Three Outlaw Samurai, To Catch a Thief and Twelve O'Clock High.[11][12][13] While writing the script, Johnson had meetings with Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams, who showed him dailies as well as an edit of the unfinished film.[14] According to Abrams's friend Greg Grunberg, Abrams was so impressed by the script that he regretted not directing it.[15] John Boyega also claimed that the script was "darker" than the one for The Force Awakens.[16]
On August 7, 2014, it was reported that actress Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey in The Force Awakens, may reprise her role in both Episodes VIII and IX.[17] On October 16, 2014, at the opening of the new Industrial Light & Magic facility in London, ILM President Lynwen Brennan confirmed that Star Wars: Episode VIII would be filmed in London.[18] On March 12, 2015, Disney chairman Bob Iger originally announced the release date for Episode VIII of May 26, 2017, forty years and one day after the release of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope,[19] but the release date was later pushed back to December 15, 2017.[4]
Preliminary filming took place in September 2015 on Skellig Michael, an island off the coast of mainland Ireland that was first used for The Force Awakens in 2014.[20] This sequence with filmed with IMAX cameras.[21] Before leaving, the crew donated €10,000 to the ferry service that had transported them to-and-from the island.[22] Production officially began in England in February 2016,[4][23] under the working title of "Space Bear".[24] From March 9-16, production took place in Dubrovnik, Croatia,[25][26] followed by a return to Ireland for twelve weeks in County Cork.[27] As a favor to Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow, Johnson shot a brief bit of content that will connect to that film.[28] In an interview with Polygon, Hamill described the security measures on set: "You get your pages in the morning, and they take them from you as you walk so they can shred them before it somehow leaks. You have security lines you have to walk through, both to and from set. And, not to mention, you have to wear these big monk hoods to protect your costume from drones."[29] By June 2016, filming was "in the home stretch."[30] Principal photography wrapped on July 22, 2016.[31]
Johnson began editing on August 15, 2016.[32] Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016, though she had completed her work on the film before her death. Bob Iger later confirmed that her character's storyline in the film would not be altered from what was shot and that her character would not be recreated digitally.[33][34]
Many of the same prop-makers from Episode VII returned to work on the next film in the saga.[35]
During a concert with the Young Musician's Foundation Debut Orchestra on February 9, 2013, composer John Williams voiced his desire to write the musical scores for all three films of the sequel trilogy.[36] Star Wars Insider 144 implied that he would score the entire "new Star Wars trilogy,"[37] but Lucasfilm clarified that he had only been confirmed for Episode VII at the time.[38] At a Tanglewood concert in August 2016, Williams confirmed he was scheduled to start scoring Episode VIII "in the next few weeks."[6] Williams began recording the score in December 2016, which was expected to be completed by March or April 2017.[39][40]
The Last Jedi topped polls from both Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes as the most anticipated film of 2017.[41][42] Rian Johnson first publically discussed the film in a panel at Celebration Europe.[43] The film's title, The Last Jedi, was announced on January 23, 2017. The title announcement was accompanied with a release of a logo for the film featuring the Star Wars logo in red rather than its traditional logo. This coloring change, previously seen with Return of the Jedi and with "Brothers" and "Revenge," installments of Star Wars: The Clone Wars focused on Darth Maul, led some to speculate that the film's creators may be hinting at dark events within the film.[44] The title's announcement also launched a frenzy of online speculation in regard to the identity of the "last Jedi," with some noting that the term "Jedi" can be used plurally.[45] (Foreign translations also had the title as plural.[46][47][48]) However, Rian Johnson later said that in his mind the title is singular and refers specifically to Luke Skywalker.[49]
Footage of The Last Jedi was shared with Disney shareholders in March 2017, including a look at the beginning of the film, which happens immediately following the ending of The Force Awakens.[50] Disney CEO Bob Iger, having seen the film, referred to it as a "perfect chapter" in the saga, stating, "I can promise you it's worth the wait."[51] On April 11, Hamill and Ridley appeared on Good Morning America to promote the Force for Change charity;[52] One of the three rewards will be a trip for two to the premiere of The Last Jedi.[53] Cast and crew featured in a Last Jedi panel at Celebration Orlando.[54] At the end of the panel, Johnson debuted a teaser poster and teaser trailer.[55] The film was featured in the May 2017 issue of Vanity Fair (for which the cast and crew were photographed on-set by Annie Leibovitz) and the August 2017 issue of Entertainment Weekly.[56][57]
Disney added The Last Jedi-themed content to its Star Tours: The Adventures Continue ride,[58] including the new planet Crait.[59] The film's product line will debut on September 1, 2017, known as Force Friday II.[60] Like with The Force Awakens,[61] the months leading up to the debut of The Last Jedi will see the release of several novels, short stories, comics, reference books, and activity books entitled the Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The media, written and created by several different authors, will cover various topics related to The Last Jedi as well as other aspects of the Star Wars universe.[62] The video game Star Wars Battlefront II will feature sequel trilogy characters as they appear in The Last Jedi.[63]

Coming soon: Uma Bharti's new party
February 20, 2006 09:47 IST
Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti on Sunday said she will announce the formation of her new nationalist party by April.
She said this was the second stage of her Janadesh Yatra.
Earlier, she had visited Allahabad and Varanasi districts and will now tour all Uttar Pradesh to mobilise workers as well as to frame the structure of a new party.
She said the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh had worsened during the Samajwadi Party rule.
Criticising the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership, she said the 'General of the Army had shaken hands with enemies'.
The ideological differences started in BJP after the visit of former party chief L K Advani to Lahore, she said.
Criticising the statement of Uttar Pradesh Haj Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Qureshi, announcing a bounty of Rs 51 crore on the head of a Danish cartoonist, who caricatured Prophet Mohammad, Bharti asked Mulayam Singh Yadav to immediately dismiss him.

|"Giving Up the Gun"
|Single by Vampire Weekend

"Giving Up the Gun" is the second single from Vampire Weekend's second album Contra. The song was originally performed by L'Homme Run, a comedic rap duo that featured Vampire Weekend vocalist Ezra Koenig. The video was released February 19, 2010.[1] Koenig got the idea for the song from Noel Perrin's 1979 book titled Giving Up the Gun given to him by his father.[2]
Music video[edit]
The video[3] was released on February 19, 2010 worldwide and directed by The Malloys. The video intercuts between members of Vampire Weekend performing at an indoor tennis tournament officiated by RZA and a female tennis player (Jenny Murray, the goth girl in the "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" video) competing in the tournament. They featured Caleb Brokaw's Whitetennisballs.com Brand white tennis balls, featured as a company promotion.
As she plays her way through the competition, her opponents feature a handful of characters including blonde twin sisters, a samurai, an Amazonian woman, Joe Jonas and Jake Gyllenhaal. As she advances to the final match, it is revealed her last opponent is herself and has trouble matching up until some advice from her coach, Lil Jon. She ends the match with a return that causes the tennis ball to turn into a fireball and go right through her doppelgänger's racket, concluding the video by winning the tournament and pouring a bottle of milk over herself at the trophy ceremony. RZA then turns on a boombox that starts playing the band's song "Holiday", the next single from the album.
Chart performance[edit]
"Giving Up the Gun" began to receive increasing radio airplay throughout February and March 2010. On March 14, 2010, the single debuted on the UK Indie Chart at #23. The following week, the single climbed two places to #21. On April 4, 2010, the single climbed a further six places to its peak of #15. The single also managed to enter the UK Top 200 at #172 that same week.

Hi, and Welcome.
As you are new, read this guide will help you a lot. [Guide] AIO Guides For Hackintosh
And follow Pimentel tips, this is very important.
Hi Folks,
I might get a good deal on a Dell Precision M6800 Workstation (laptop), configured as such :
Intel Core i7-4900MQ : 2,80GHz, 8Mo (QM 87 Express Chipset)
17,3" UltraSharp FHD(1920x1080)
RAM 8Go (2x4Go) 1600MHz DDR3L
HD 750Go SATA 7200tr/min 2,5"
NVIDIA Quadro K4100M with 4Go GDDR5
Dell Wireless 1550 + Bluetooth 4.0
Audio Waves Maxx
It seems from the All Included Guide that It could do, however :
The main reason I want to have an OSX installed besides Win7, is that I want to use it for Music Production. In order to do this, I don't care about much except :
- Getting a decent resolution to view all my tracks/knobs and automations + my VSTinstruments interfaces (No 3D involved here)
- Full Speed USB (2.0 is enough) communications to my Musical Gear
- Being able to use the DVD drive to install my Payware Virtual Instruments ("Komplete")
I've come accross this discussion on the previous M6700 Model : http://www.insanelym...x-installation/
But they try to get the most of their added GPU, I'm only concerned with disabling it properly in order to use the built-in HD Graphics 4600 and still retain a decent resolution. Wi-fi, Ethernet, Blu-tooth and even sound gear (I use external ASIO devices through USB) are of no concern to me (in fact, the less it is in communication with the outside world once I have OSX up and running, the better for stability purposes over time. I can activate may Payware VSTi by an external computer)...unless you think they are important!?
Is HD 5200 close enough from HD 5000 to be supported natively by Mavericks ?
Is my SaTA HD going to send data as fast to my CPU as under Win7 (those 7200rpm ARE required for proper music production) ?
Last thing : I use reaper as my digital audio workstation software (www.reaper.fm). Anyone can have a go at it (there is only a remainder that you should pay Cockos if you like it and use it : no add intended, I have no connection with these guys), so if anyone with a recent Precision Laptop would be kind enough to install and run it under Mavericks to assess whether it's all slugish or working smoothly with a correct resolution, I'd really appreciate.
Great Job and Great place to look for informations anyway !

IT may be in with the new as far as the Rock development is concerned, but it's not entirely out with the old.
For a new heritage project shop, within the heart of the £350 million showpiece retail area, turns the clock back to Bury's shops of yesteryear.
Eye-catching graphics, allied to old photographs of the town and written memories, are featured in the empty shop unit.
One of the people who played a vital role in the creation of the heritage project is Flo Leeming, aged 79, of Market Street, Bury. The verger at Bury Parish Church was approached and asked to recall her own memories for the centrepiece of the display. She said: "I was asked to write down a few pages of my memories of Bury, particularly in terms of shopping in the town. It was good to recall the old days and the old shops."
Joanne Fitton, attached to Bury archives, helped source old photographs and images to reflect Flo's memories. And with additional assistance from Urban Deluxe, which edited the material and DS Emotion, which produced the graphics, the whole display was finally put together.
Rock centre director Mr David Laycock said: "This is a good use of empty retail space."


text: By TOM RAUMWASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ It's not the first time that government economic engineering has produced a time bomb with a short fuse. Back in 2011, few lawmakers, if any, thought deep and indiscriminate spending cuts, totaling about $85 billion and now starting to kick in, were a smart idea. The across-the-board cuts, set up as a last-resort trigger and based on a mechanism used in the 1980s, are a reality largely because President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, failed to find a way to stop them. Republicans, influenced by tea party and other conservative factions, insisted on just spending cuts to narrow the deficit. Tax increases were out. Obama and the Democratic-run Senate didn't budge from a mix of cuts and increased tax revenues. "Arbitrary" and "stupid" Obama called the auto-pilot cuts, known as sequester. But history shows a long trail of unintended consequences from government actions â¿¿ or inaction: â¿¿President Franklin D. Roosevelt, after a solid re-election victory in 1936, believed that the Great Depression was winding down. Unemployment was declining and economic activity was coming back. Roosevelt and Congress believed it was time to cut free-flowing government spending and raise taxes. The Federal Reserve tightened its financial reins. But the fragile economy couldn't withstand the blows. The Depression roared back, lasting until the 1940s when U.S. involvement in World War II finally revived the economy. â¿¿President Ronald Reagan's ambitious 1986 overhaul of the tax code simplified taxes and closed many loopholes, including repealing the popular tax deduction for credit-card interest. Then people started borrowing heavily against fast-rising equity in their homes; that interest still was deductible. But the practice eventually helped put millions of homeowners under water on their mortgages when the housing bubble burst, contributing to the 2007-2009 recession. â¿¿The Fed has kept short-term interest rates unusually low and printed money to keep downward pressure on longer-term rates, easing borrowing for businesses and individuals.

Linfield College graduate Sammy Smith has been appointed women's lacrosse coach, director of athletics Scott Carnahan announced Monday.
Smith, a 2009 Linfield graduate, replaces Tim Hart, her college coach, who stepped down after four seasons for personal and professional reasons.
The second-leading points and goal scorer in Linfield lacrosse history, Smith becomes the first woman to lead the Wildcats and only the fourth coach in the program's 15-year existence.
Smith also becomes the fourth women's head coach currently employed at Linfield – the most in school history – joining basketball coach Robin Potera-Haskins, tennis coach Amy Dames Smith and golf coach Brynn Hurdus.
"We've been very impressed with Sammy's enthusiasm and interest in developing our women's lacrosse program," said Carnahan. "We anticipate she will be able to elevate the program to the point where it is regionally and nationally competitive."
"I'm very excited and honored to be given this amazing opportunity," said Smith. "My primary goals are to help the program build greater cohesion, see the girls have fun, and watch the Linfield lacrosse program grow and improve."
Smith competed in lacrosse for four seasons at Linfield before graduating in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. She currently works with special needs students, ages 3-5, at the Northwest Regional Educational Service District in Beaverton. Most recently, she coached the junior varsity squad at Beaverton's Westview High School.
As a player, she holds Linfield career records for goals per game (3.19), points per game (3.84), shots per game (5.16) and game-winning goals (3). She ranks second all-time in goals (137) and points (165).
Smith will focus on refining the Wildcats' passing game, concentrating on the fundamentals of throwing and catching the ball.
"Women's lacrosse is a game of finesse," she said. "As a player, you find openings rather than make openings. It demands a greater reliance on teamwork."
Smith, 25, will be assisted by her father, Joel, who will focus on shoring up the Linfield defense while the younger Smith devotes her primary attention to developing the offense.
Under Hart, Linfield struggled to a 1-7 record last spring and won just eight matches combined over the previous four seasons.

LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Ross Schofield (So., Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) scored five times, including a hat-trick in the second period, as Johns Hopkins University survived against Fordham University 11-8 to reach a meeting with No. 20 Brown University in the 2010 CWPA Eastern Championship Fifth Place game on Sunday, November 21 at 11:30 a.m.
In a game that featured 24 ejections, eight advantage/penalty goals, 22 saves and two cards, the story of the game was the play of Schofield who took over command of the contest in the second period to help stave off a Rams comeback bid.
Hopkins never trailed in the game opening up a 3-1 lead in the first period.
Schofield opened the scoring 45 seconds into the contest as he rifled home a shot at the 7:15 mark to put the Blue Jays in front to stay. Fordham tied the game 30 seconds later when Ali Arat (Gr., Istanbul, Turkey/Sisli Terakki Secondary/Koc University) whipped in a behind-the-back shot off an assist from Alex Powell (Sr., Palos Verdes Estates, Calif./Palos Verdes) at 6:45.
Johns Hopkins closed the period with back-to-back special teams scores as John Barrett (Sr., Clarendon Hills, Ill./Fenwick) weaved a man-up blast from across the pool off an assist by Alex Whittam (So., Hillsborough, Calif./Sacred Heart Prep) at 4:10 before Kielan Crow (So., Portola Valley, Calif./Lick-Wilmerding) converted on a five-meter penalty shot with 56 seconds remaining for a 3-1 lead.
The margin expanded to 5-1 in the opening minutes of the second period as Schofield cashed in a five-meter penalty shot at 7:20 and lobbed a ball into the cage at 6:47 for the Blue Jays.
Fordham climbed back into the contest with a 3-0 run fueled by back-to-back strikes by Mikey Edwards (Sr., Walnut, Calif./Rowland/Mt. San Antonio) at 2:21 and 1:37 on the heels of a natural marker by Ryan Hultman (Sr., Newport Beach, Calif./Corona del Mar) with 3:53 showing on the clock to make it a 5-4 game.
However, Schofield completed his quarter-trick with another marker at 1:26 before Barrett accepted a long outlet pass from goalie Jeremy Selbst (Sr., Old Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) for his team's seventh goal of the half and a 7-4 scoring margin at halftime.
The Rams again climbed back into the contest as Arat found the cage with a back-hand at 6:39 and tossed in a 6-on-5 score at 4:43 to move Fordham back to within one at 7-6.
Hopkins and the Rams counterpunched throughout the remainder of the period as Eli Levitt (So., Miami, Fla./Ransom Everglades) scored at 4:24 for Hopkins, Powell pumped in a goal on a man-up opportunity at 2:20 for Fordham and Charlie Weintraub (So., Los Angeles, Calif./Harvard-Westlake) netted the eventual game-winner at 1:13 off another 6-on-5 chance to make it 9-7 through 24 minutes of play.
For the third period in a row, the Rams charged back into the game as Jake Bakas (So., Miami, Fla./Belen Jesuit) connected on a shot with 6:21 remaining in the fourth period to inch within 9-8.
But, the Blue Jays received a pair of gifts from Victor Batista Medina (Sr., San Cristobal, Venezuela/Juan XXIII/West Valley CC) who was whistled for a flagrant foul against Barrett which gave Hopkins a five-meter penalty shot and a man-up chance.
Crow converted the five-meter at 2:38 immediately following the foul and, following an ejection on Fordham goalie Christian Flessner (Sr., Naperville, Ill./Naperville North), Schofield hammered in the ensuing 6-on-5 chance at 2:18 for the 11-8 final score.
In cage, Flessner finished with nine stops for the Rams, while Selbst picked up the victory with a game-high 13 saves with a five-meter penalty block.
Fordham will meet the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning in the seventh place game. The Rams are 1-2 against the Engineers this year picking up 8-7 and 9-8 victories, while falling 13-10.

Expecting English artist Sam Taylor-Wood, 44, was spotted taking a leisurely stroll with her fiancé Aaron Johnson, 21, in Primrose Hill, London on Monday (January 9).
The couple – who are already parents to 1-year old daughter Wylda Rae Johnson – dressed warmly for the cool London weather. It seems Sam was busy checking her phone.
Sam was recently presented with an OBE by Prince Charles. She was recognized for her photography and video work. David – one of her most famous pieces – features LA Galaxy soccer stud David Beckham sleeping.
The couple are expecting their second child early this year. Sam already has two daughter with ex-husband Jay Jopling.View Slideshow »»

This paper studies the properties of the sex ratio in two-period models of threshold (e.g., polygenic or temperature-dependent) sex determination under heavy-tailedness in the framework of possibly skewed stable distributions and their convolutions. We show that if the initial distribution of the sex determining trait in such settings is moderately heavy-tailed and has a finite first moment, then an excess of males (females) in the first period leads to the same pattern in the second period. Thus, the excess of one sex over the other one accumulates over two generations and the sex ratio in the total alive population in the second period cannot stabilize at the balanced sex ratio value of 1/2. These properties are reversed for extremely heavy-tailed initial distributions of sex determining traits with infinite first moments. In such settings, the sex ratio of the offspring oscillates around the balanced sex ratio value and an excess of males (females) in the first period leads to an excess of females (males) in the second period. In addition, the sex ratio in the total living population in the second period can stabilize at 1/2 for some extremely heavy-tailed initial distributions of the sex determining trait. The results in the paper are shown to also hold for bounded sex determining phenotypes.

Mortgage rates have gone up about a quarter of a percentage point in the last two weeks, according to the weekly Bankrate.com mortgage index. The average rate on the 30-year fixed was 5.35 percent in this week's survey. Two weeks ago, it was 5.11 percent.
What does the Fed's withdrawal from the mortgage market have to do with this rise in rates? Probably not a lot. Read the above-linked article to find out more.

L816S/001 Ophthalmic Glasses
L816S is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of L816Sin our 2016, and 2017 Lacoste range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The rectangular shape of the frame exudes self-confidence and power. Especially for round shaped faces, the rectangle is a perfect counterpoint. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The L816S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get L816S at such a low price, not even in the sale.
