Gaming laptops - What do you suggest?
View Single Post
March 5th, 2013, 05:12
I considered the Y580, but I just wanted a more powerful graphics card to "future proof" the laptop a bit more.
I also considered the very nice Lenovo Y500 with dual 650m graphics cards in SLI. Very nice setup for $1050, but it didn't come with a blu-ray or DVD drive, and I still wanted more power.
Lenovo does make some nice laptops though. I would recommend them to someone on a budget for sure.

"Inquiries are ongoing both nationally and internationally," a Customs spokesman said.

About Bioethics and Film
Vision of the Program in Bioethics and Film
Founded in 1998 by award-winning filmmaker and physician, Maren Grainger Monsen, the Program in Bioethics and Film creates films and education programs that touch people emotionally and intellectually to cause them to think deeply about important issues in healthcare and improve care. Grainger Monsen has developed a singular style of interweaving documentary footage with haunting imagery and sound to create visually, intellectually and emotionally stirring documentaries that cross traditional boundaries to engage a wide audience — from medical students and healthcare providers to the general public.

Chris Burke found he could only add a period of exile to his first two Scotland caps.
They were won in 2006, when the national team won the Kirin Cup in Japan, and the future must have seemed full of potential to a player who scored twice as a substitute on his international debut, then won a trophy in his second game.
Burke was 21 at the time, and trying to establish himself in the Rangers first team. He seemed a figure of promise, skilful and lively, but there were periods of fragility, too. He was never able to wholly rebuke the notion of him being frail after fainting on the pitch during a hot summer's day at Pittodrie. The winger was suffering from a virus at the time, but his career at Ibrox did not fully recover.
Loading article content
Spells at Cardiff City and now Birmingham City brought rejuvenation. At 29, there was excitement when he received notification of his return to the Scotland squad, but also a renewed sense of purpose. Burke is the only player called up by Gordon Strachan who did not feature during Craig Levein's tenure, so he is entitled to consider this an opportunity to re-establish himself as an international player.
"If I'm honest, my Rangers form didn't go the way I wanted it to," he said. "The [Scotland] manager picks players who are playing well and I wasn't. That's probably the reason why I didn't build on it. This season has been a bit up and down for me and the whole Birmingham team, so I was surprised and delighted. It doesn't normally happen that you wait seven years for a second call-up, but hopefully I can still adapt and offer something."
Burke is a more mature player now, and he impressed enough this season to have been one of the players widely expected to be sold by Birmingham during last month's transfer window to raise money to deal with the club's financial issues. That move didn't occur, but Burke can add to that sense of value against Estonia at Pittodrie tomorrow night. Seven years on, he is more accustomed to the demands that come with his status in the game.
"When you come through at Celtic or Rangers, you are in a goldfish bowl," he said. "Everybody puts a little bit of pressure on you and thinks you will be the next big thing. Sometimes it doesn't happen for you [and] you need to go somewhere else for your career to blossom."

Edit Article
wikiHow to Automatically Stop Torrents when Your VPN Disconnects Using Vuze
When using torrents, it's better to protect your privacy with a VPN. If your VPN disconnects or your computer restarts, you want to be sure that your torrent client will not leak your real IP onto the internet. Using Vuze and a P2P friendly torrent provider, this protection can be set up in minutes.
2Make sure your VPN provider has a 'No-Logging' policy.
- Also consider using DNScrypt[4] for an extra layer of security.
3Connect to your VPN. Note the IP address. You need the IP address that comes from your VPN provider.
4Start Vuze, and enter the Options menu.
- Select "Tools" at the top.
- Select "Options" at the bottom of the menu.
5Select the "Advanced Mode" options. At the top left of the options Menu, make sure "Mode" is selected.
- Click the "Advanced User" proficiency mode.
- Click "Save" in the bottom left of the Options window.
6Enter the "Advanced network Settings".
- Click the arrow to expand the "Connection" menu.
- Select "Advanced Network Settings".
7Find your VPN interface. Look for the IP address that you noted in the first step. In the example provided, the VPN IP is attached to "eth6".
8Bind the VPN interface to Vuze. Enter the Interface value from the previous step.
9Enforce the IP bindings. At the bottom of the window, (you may have to scroll), check mark "Enforce IP bindings even when interfaces are not available...".
- Click "Save" in the bottom left of the Options window.
10Confirm that the bindings work. Mouse-over the routing icon. You should see your VPN ip address and "Force=yes".
11Start a torrent in Vuze. Use an opensource torrent like Linux to test.
12Confirm that the torrent stops when VPN disconnects.
- Disconnect your VPN.
- Watch for your traffic to stop.
- The binding address will change to 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
13Confirm that the torrent re-starts when VPN connects.
- Reconnect your VPN.
- Note that the VPN IP has changed but the binding adapts. Since the eth6 interface is active.
- Watch the traffic re-start and the routing icon to go green.

DETROIT - Someone called in a bomb threat to Comerica Park Tuesday evening during a Tigers baseball game, Detroit Police say.
The call came in around 7:50 p.m. and police traced it to a tower off of Michigan Ave.
After investigating the area, police didn't find a suspect or a phone.
The cell phone used came from a burned out cell, which is untraceable, police told Local 4.
Comerica Park was not evacuated and stadium detail investigated. The Tigers game went on as scheduled.

Thousands of politicians, pundits and party faithful have flown through the airspace above Tampa, Fla., to come to the GOP convention. But if that wasn't enough to sate their appetite for time above the clouds, an event Tuesday evening offered the next best thing.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and the National Business Aviation Association hosted an event in conjunction with The Hill that offered a virtual look at the wild blue yonder.
A flight simulator set up a few blocks from the Tampa Bay Times Forum in a Greek restaurant offered those brave enough to strap themselves in a realistic approximation of flying a two-seater Piper Club airplane.
Built by Redbird Flight Simulation, the $57,000 piece of equipment allowed attendees to grab the yoke and use multiple monitors to take a trip around Tampa. No word on whether the simulation included virtual disgruntled Ron Paul delegates.

I've been scouting around a lot locally for potential places to go for jazz as an undergraduate major, though when I ask for people's opinions on the matter, I have found that none of them are alike! I'm playing at around the Grade 11 level (ARCT) if anyone you are familiar with it..but to put it into perspective, I'm currently working my way through Ibert's Concertino da Camera and the Phil Woods Sonata as a way to increase my technique/musicality along with focussing on my jazz studies.
Some places I've been looking at are Berklee, New England Conservatory, Manhattan, and Juilliard. These are just locations I've scouted out myself - feel free to contribute other names (please) as I'm not too clear where to go.
Of course those colleges are rather idealistic..Juilliard is especially intimidating and I don't know if I'd be able to get into the other 3.
Also, a question of mine. In my line of questioning, I was told repeatedly that the undergraduate programs will give me the same quality of education regardless of where I go. But I personally don't believe that. Assuming the teachers are the same level, I think a big boost towards the Juilliard/Berklee direction is because of the incredible players in the student body. I've always personally found competition helps me improve a lot faster. So is what they say true? Am I making the right assertions?

General Question
Would it be feasible for someone with ADHD to have no trouble concentrating?
Asked by longgone (12852) April 30th, 2014
On another thread, @ibstubro and I were talking about the characteristics of ADHS. I often tap out rhythms with my fingers, feet, or teeth. I seldom notice changes in my environment, and I'm not good at listening attentively.
OTOH, I really don't have trouble concentrating. I study pretty efficiently, I'd say. When I need to sit still, I can, with some difficulty. Would I be able to do these things if I was suffering from ADHD?
I realize a doctor's assesment is the only way to know for sure. However, my knowledge of psychology is minimal at best, so for now, I'd be interested to find out what you think.

Dow Jones Foundation Webinar Series
Thanks to generous support from the Dow Jones Foundation, ICFJ is hosting a series of free webinars on critical tech topics for journalists around the world.
For one of the latest webinars in the series, ICFJ Knight Fellows Chris Roper and Raymond Joseph shared social media strategies for journalists and, in particular, Twitter's capacity to reinvent journalism for media companies.
Roper is the data editor for ICFJ's Code for Africa data journalism initiative in four hub countries: Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania, while Joseph is an ICFJ Knight Fellow working with Code for South Africa to strengthen storytelling and audience engagement through data journalism and civic innovation.
Previous ICFJ-Dow Jones webinars:
How to Improve Workflow in Digital Newsrooms
The latest webinar took place on Dec. 9, 2015, and it was led by Nasr ul Hadi, ICFJ's first Knight Fellow based in India. Ul Hadi guided participants on how to transform newsroom practices to take full advantage of digital sourcing, production and distribution tools.
Ul Hadi brings years of experience in print and broadcast newsrooms to his work as a Knight Fellow. He is working with news media in India to develop and expand the use of news technologies and improve access to quality information.
Ul Hadi works closely with senior staff at the Hindustan Times to propose systemic changes while training reporters on the use of digital tools like Parse.ly and Dataminr to implement his overall vision for the modern sustainable newsroom.
Twitter for Journalists
The fifth webinar was held on Nov. 18, 2015, and it was led by ICFJ's Africa-based Fellows, Code for Africa's Chris Roper and Raymond Joseph. This webinar focused on social media strategies and, in particular, Twitter's capacity to reinvent journalism for media companies. You can read a writeup of the webinar here.

How to Analyze Data
The third webinar took place on Dec. 9, 2014, and was led ICFJ Knight Fellow Friedrich Lindenberg. In his talk, Lindenberg provided resources for investigative journalists to help simplify how they analyze data.
During his fellowship, Lindenberg worked with journalists and watchdog organizations to develop data resources and investigative tools for Code for Africa and the African Network of Centers for Investigative Reporting.
Mapping for Journalists
The second hour-long webinar in this series was led on May 7, 2014, by ICFJ Knight Fellow Gustavo Faleiros on digital tools that journalists can use to map data.
Faleiros is an environmental journalist who focuses on data journalism. During his first Knight International Journalism Fellowship in 2012, he launched InfoAmazonia, a digital map that uses satellite and other publicly available data to monitor the Amazon rainforest.

Stimulating Writing through ICT – Education Leeds 3
Back in Leeds with Colin Davies, of the Leeds support team, at The City Museum, Leeds, for the third event in the ICT to Inspire series.
Today, we were joined by colleagues from Bankside Primary School, Brodetsky Jewish Primary, Burley St Matthias C of E Primary, Christ The King Catholic Primary, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary, Hovingham Primary, Middleton Primary School, Shakespeare Primary School, Ss Peter and Paul Catholic Primary, Whitecote Primary School, Chapel Allerton, Alwoodley Primary and Summerfield Primary.
It is always fun to do a training day with staff from a variety of schools. It gives us, and them, a real chance to put some of the interactive technologies in to place, both during, and after, the event.
Tomorrow at we are at St Matthias C of E Primary doing some lessons with children across the age range, so that staff from today can see "it in action" ut also become invloved and muck in with an exploration of the power of virtual worlds.
Today was another one of those that was postponed, because of the snow, back in December. Thanks, all, for your patience, and for your great sense of humour, and imagination, today. Onwards!

Thanks very much for an awe inspiring day! Your boundless energy and enthusiasm is contagious.I have learnt so much, that I just can't wait to get back into the classroom and infect (or should that be inflict?) my pupils with the bug that I have caught!
Truly inspiration ride with loop the loops that left us hanging all of the way. One of the most informative courses of my teaching career – 8 years.
Thank you
Steven Hall Bankside Primary School, Leeds
Another great day, it was entertaining, informative and inspiring. Although I've been working with you both for a couple of years now, I'm still learning so much. Feedback from teachers has been incredibly positive and I'm looking forward to seeing the demonstration lessons tommorrow. Thanks again for a wonderful day.
I had a fantastic day gaining practical ideas about how to inspire children's literacy through ICT. I can't wait to explore the free downloads we found out about and have already starting using some of the shortcut tricks! I am also really looking forward to tomorrow's session in school where I will see a demonstration lesson. I know the children will love it as much as I did!
Thanks for a great day! I am just about to attempt to wow my husband (ICT trainer himself) with the wonderful things I have learnt today. Looking forward to seeing a great lesson tomorrow morning.
Wow – am always exhausted after our Stimulating Writing Days! Even on our third time together I find myself buzzing with ideas and endless possibilities, frantically making notes to myself (even though I know the locked page and blog contain all I need to know!!) It is the best boost of motivation, ideas and excitiment that any teacher can experience in a day and I love watching the joy on the participants faces and listening to their excited chatter…a real treat as a consultant!
It's difficult to add anything else to the great comments already made but, yesterday was fantastic and made me reflect and review aspects of teaching. I really appreciated having time to explore a great resource and be so well supported. I'm looking forward today's follow up in school.
Thank you so much for an inspirational and informative day yesterday. The lessons this morning were fantastic – great to see the children bursting at the seams with ideas, new vocabulary and pride in their own writing. I'm already planning on using some of the websites you mentioned with my Y6 class.

Aaron Carter brings his comeback party to Amherst
A lot has changed for Aaron Carter since beginning his performance career as a pop music-focused 7-year-old in 1994. He found platinum success with a trio of Disney-approved albums. He became a reality television star ("House of Carters"), dancing star ("Dancing With The Stars") and Broadway star ("The Fantasticks"). And, in between, he became old enough to legally drive a car.
But, after his Friday night tour stop at The Forum inside Amherst's Maple Entertainment Complex, one thing remains unchanged amid these deviations: Carter is still the same caliber showman who approached the millennium as a frosted-tipped tween sensation.
If a career-rejuvenation at the age of 25 can actually be referred to as a comeback, then the Tampa, Fla., native's 2013 "After Party Tour" could be billed as just that. Carter hasn't recorded a studio album since 2002's "Another Earthquake." He hasn't toured since 2005 and, intermixed with his diversified entertainment detours, he's countered drug-related appearances in gossip magazines with rehab, recovery and scattered performances. Now on the back end of an over-150-show tour that started in February, the pop star behind 2000's Pixy Stick-infused "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" can still summon the same charisma and command that once controlled his Nickelodeon legions.
Carter – backed by his four-piece touring band – greeted the Forum's screaming female-laden crowd with his popular cover version of The Strangeloves' "I Want Candy." Dressed and dancing in a backwards cap, pajama pants and an oversized sweatshirt, he showed no signs of forgetting performance moves essential to any burgeoning (or former) teen idol.
Stare longingly at the ladies through expressive vocals? Check.
Point to your heart when the lyrics demand? Yes.
Shed a layer of clothing between tunes to incite female hysteria? Got it.
And, blot performance sweat with removed layer of clothing before tossing this item to your adoring horde's outstretched arms? Of course.
Over his hourlong Amherst set, Carter continuously reached into his heartthrob toolkit while touring through his catalog of hook-heavy, pubescent pop anthems that reference anything from Sony PlayStation to retired NBA center Shaquille O'Neal.
And, between these aged references, he paid tribute to some current radio hits, medley-style. Carter led Forum's suburban base through his own "To All The Girls" before cooing a credible mash-up cover of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Daft Punk-Pharell Williams collaboration "Get Lucky."
He followed this trick by dishing crowd favorite "Not Too Young, Not Too Old"; donning a Lakers jersey for his fantastical smash "That's How I Beat Shaq"; and delivering tween-aged rebellion on "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)."
Before ending his performance with a new single – the acoustic guitar-flavored "Where Do We Begin" – he expressed a heartfelt thanks to the crowd for sticking with him through what has been a roller coaster ride of a career and early life. A few ups and downs; some twists and turns. Now back on solid ground, Aaron Carter is happy to be back – and performing like he never left.
Opening the night for Carter was a trio of acts. Justin Levinson manned his Privia keyboard, Martin guitar and harnessed kazoo in the vein of Ben Folds and Kweller.
Alex Babini followed Levinson with his own brand of sugary acoustic stylings.
Finally, West Seneca son J3 delivered his Buffalo-bred batch of hip-pop to a large contingent of local fans.

There are instructions on how to make semitrasparent status bar on the 1st page (posts 3,2). You need to modify the SystemUI.apk, so grab the mod you want (or stock SystemUI.apk), mod it and flash it. It's easy and worth trying
Since 2.07 there are no changes to android.policy.jar, framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk files, so all mods (including wake-up-with-volume-keys) work ok. I tested them. Flash the attached 2.07 version and you should be ok!
Hi all,
Question re: weird behaviour on APK files I've edited according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...07&postcount=2
I use a couple of apps regularly and have tried modifying them to make the UI suit me a bit better. For what it's worth, one's a Twitter app and one's a keyboard.
I've used apktool to decompile them, edited certain res .xml files to change the interface and then compiled them again with apktool. I've then signed them using Sigare (obviously it's not signed using the original developers key, but a key that I've made)
I've then replaced the apk in data\app with my modified one.
The problem is that, while the new app works for a little white, after a while it just disappears from my app list. When I go to run it directly, I get a message that the app won't load.
TL;DR: apps I've modified work to start with and then don't. Anyone think of a reason?

London - Glencore's third-largest investor, Harris Associates, said the Swiss trader and miner is making great progress on a $13 billion debt-reduction plan designed to bolster finances during the commodities rout.
Harris has increased its stake in the company to 7.1 percent, from the 5.1 percent reported in its most recent filing in September, David Herro, who manages the $25bn Oakmark International Fund, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg News on Friday.
"They've significantly de-levered already and more is coming for 2016," Herro said earlier in an interview on Bloomberg Television.
"They are taking a multi-pronged approach."
Glencore's billionaire chief executive Ivan Glasenberg responded to growing investors fears about its $30bn debt load last year by scrapping the dividend, selling new shares and announcing plans to offload assets.
The stock slumped 73 percent in the past year as commodities tumbled and China's economy weakened.
"These fears that a slowdown in China is just going to disrupt the world, I think are overblown," Herro said.
"If prices continue to drop below what we think is intrinsic value, these are reasons to add to stocks. One could conclude, given the weakness in Glencore, what we are probably doing."
Glencore slid 1.6 percent to 77.48 pence in London, valuing the company at about $16.2bn.
The firm has completed $8.7bn of the planned $13bn debt reduction.
In November, it said it would target net debt of about $25bn by the end of 2015 as the company moved to stave off a credit-rating downgrade to sub-investment grade.
Glencore plans to sell more assets and net debt may fall as low as $18bn by the end of 2016.
Herro spoke favourably about Glencore's commodity-trading division, historically responsible for about a third of operating profits.
"Because the rest of the business isn't earning much, that trading operation is doing more," he said.
"This is one of Glencore's biggest competitive strengths."
The company's most important objective is to retain its investment-grade rating and cut mine production, Glencore Director John Mack, a former chief executive officer of Morgan Stanley, said last week.
"We are not backing out of trading," Mack said.
"We are as aggressive as we have ever been in trading."
Peter Grauer, the chairman of Bloomberg LP, is a senior independent non-executive director at Glencore.

Hosni Mubarak's heart has stopped beating and he's not responding to defibrillation. Mubarak is clinically dead. Wait, no—Mubarak is in a coma and now he's on life support. Just kidding, Mubarak is almost stable.
Uncertainty shrouds the 84-year-old former Egyptian president's condition like smoke from so many hookahs. But confusion also accompanies the various medical terms tossed around in the last 20 hours to describe Mubarak's precarious state of existence. What do doctors mean by clinically dead, and how is that different then, well, dead?
Fox news takes a stab at nailing down that elusive clinical death:
The criteria for using that term are "poorly defined," said said Dr. Lance Becker, a University of Pennsylvania emergency medicine specialist and an American Heart Association spokesman. "In its crudest form, clinical death just means that a doctor thinks he's dead — somebody standing at the bedside believes he is dead," he said.
And a more elaborate exploration of the term, according to the Encyclopedia of Death and Dying:
Usually this term referred to the cessation of cardiac function, as might occur during a medical procedure or a heart attack. A physician could make this determination quickly and then try CPR or other techniques in an effort to restore cardiac function. "Clinical death" was therefore a useful term because it acknowledged that one of the basic criteria for determining death applied to the situation, yet it did not stand in the way of resuscitation efforts. This concept had its drawbacks, though. Many health care professionals as well as members of the general public were not ready to accept the idea of a temporary death, which seemed like a contradiction in terms. Furthermore, clinical death had no firm standing in legal tradition or legislative action.
AsiaOne adds layers of ambiguity in their exploration of the definition of death:
The legal and scientific definition of death is a topic that has not ceased to cause debate.
To add to the confusion, there exists an array of apparently synonymous terms – brain death, biological death, vegetative state…
Whereas in the past the lack of a heart beat or spontaneous breathing was enough to lead to a declaration of death, that changed with the advent of resuscitation techniques like CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and defibrillation, organ transplants, and life support machines.
In summary, no heartbeat + no breathing + no brain activity = clinical death, but it does not necessarily spell Death. Clinical death is treated as a medical emergency, with CPR and the like following. Only when a physician calls off the efforts and throws in the towel can brain or biological death, eventually followed by legal death, be declared. In the U.S., this marks the removal of "personhood" from the deceased's body.
Regardless of whether Mubarak ever returns to this world in the literal sense, for some, he's been dead for months, according to Reuters:
"Mubarak has been dead since his people sentenced him to prison and threw him in Tora. His people wronged him and did not give him his rights," said Loola Yamany, 50.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA9) -- An employee scared off a would-be robber by throwing at chair in Manassas, say Prince William County Police.
The attempted robbery happened on Tuesday at 9:05 p.m. at the Yorkshire Service Center located at 7522 Centreville Rd.
According to police, a man entered the business, approached the counter, and demanded money. He then put out his hand, which was covered with a pillow case, to imply he had a weapon.
Police say the victim decided to throw a chair at the man. The man then ran out of the store without any money.
A police K-9 was used to search for the suspect but police have not found him.
The attempted robber is described as a White male, between 16 & 19 years old, 5'7", 160 pounds with a thin build. Police say he was last seen wearing a camouflage jacket, a gray hooded sweatshirt, light colored pants, black shoes and something black covering on his face.

Age 69. Slightly complicated! Symptoms suggest both types of neuralgia. Is there a connection? I had two red spots on face(+ one inside my thigh). Very dry, painful, left eye. Not diagnosed as shingles. Some friends had shingles. After treatment for \"conjunctivitis it began to subside.
Meanwhile I broke a tooth on the R.H. bottom jaw. No pain then. Dental check and appointment to treat. Then pain started, with slight twinge to cheek. So slight thought nothing of it. Dentist found tooth embedded in jaw. Took a half hour digging, hacking with every possible tool. broke off top leaving root to deal with later and maybe send to hospital. Needle injections hit the nerve at side of face and also above top jaw. Day after tooth removal I left for week's holiday.
Suddenly the side of my face erupted with violent stabbing pains such as described in the main article and others in the list of websites. Like a trapped back nerve I had years ago. Worst pain in eardrum area. I had fatigue and drowsiness. There was pain in the tooth cavity from the extraction but this was extra. Desperately trying not to spoil our holiday I tried to keep going with periods of bed rest during each day. First week-end was agony. Took Iboprofen with limited relief. Gradually towards the end of the week it calmed down. My husband, only understanding it as \"toothache!\" wanted to take me to hospital to have the roots out. I declined as we had to get home again. We are now home and on Monday I have to either go to the Drs. or back to dentist. Could this have been spurred by the dental treatment? Is there link with the previous eye and spot problems? I am not out to complain to anyone just to understand.

Hi, I need to know what type of motherboard my Inspiron 530 has.
Anyone know?
It's a Dell Inspiron 530 motherboard.
It's OEM. There may be a retail version that comes close, but there would be enough differences that make a direct swap to take some work (Dell Windows install CD/DVD wouldn't allow booting to a non-Dell board, the front panel connector is Dell-unique, so you'd have to figure out a way to interpret the pin-out and work with the cable).
Member since 2003
I'm wanting to upgrade my current setup. Do you know if this is compatible w/ the current MB?
The 530 systems were build with two different models of motherboards.If your 530 was purchased with a Core 2 Duo processor and a 300w power supply, this system usually has a 0RY007 motherboard, that supports Core 2 Duo processors only. If you have a Quad 4 processor and a 375w power supply, you have the 0FM586 motherboard.The 0FM586 motherboard can be used for both Quad 4 & Core 2 Duo processors.
If you have the 0FM586 motherboard, the Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W, should be compatible, providing before installing you update the BIOS to the latest version.

What is the motherboard name if it's an Intel Celeron?
I have a 530S
Dell Inspirons shipped with 1 of 2 different motherboards, both made by Foxcroft, and both quite similar.
Released on June 26, 2006, the Dell Inspiron 530 is Dell's first desktop to use the Inspiron name. The Inspiron 530 has an Intel Celeron 450, and can be customized up to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550. It has 2 GB of DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz, which can be upgraded up to 8 GB (4gb for systems shipped with core 2 duo processors and g33m02 motherboards, and 8gb for systems shipped with core 2 quad processors and g33m03 motherboards - noted in the system documentation.
The desktop has a 320 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA hard drive w/DataBurst Cache, which can be upgraded to 750 GB. There are also data recovery versions of the 320 and 500 GB hard drive sizes. The Inspiron 530 is customizable with a variety of DVD+/-RW and Blu-ray Disc drives.
The Inspiron 530 has integrated Intel GMA 3100, and can be customized up to an ATI Radeon HD 4670 discrete graphics card. It has integrated 7.1 channel audio and can be customized up to a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card. The Inspiron 530 has no initial Wi-Fi card, but can be customized up to a Dell 1505 Wireless-N PCI-e card.
The Inspiron 530 has two variants of motherboards, both made by Foxconn and based on the G33M series. The G33M02 which supports up to Core 2 Duo processors and the DG33M03, which supports up to Core 2 Quad processors.
Inspiron 530 systems sold with Pentium Dual-Core or Core 2 Duo processors can not be upgraded to Core 2 Quad processors without adding at least a 350W power supply and swapping motherboards to the DG33M03 motherboard. The reason the G33M02 doesn't support Core 2 Quad processors is because it only has 6 voltage regulator ICs, the DG33M03 has 11.
Hope this helps.
Mike Roy
Note - I am NOT employed by Dell
FoxConn not FoxCroft. There are more than 5 different motherboards. The Models are G33M Rev02 and G33M Rev03 however there are also A, B, C, D designations due to 4 ram slots vs 2 ram slots.
The 530S is the Slim Desktop Version.

I have a 530s Running 8gb of Ram (4slots) and a Radeon 7750HD Low Profile..... and Im finding alot of the time Im running out of CPU , I have Core 2 duo E6550 in it now but have been looking into running the Core 2 Quad Q9550S 65watt CPU... will this run on the older board, I dont have the one that runs quads stock or a power supply that fits my slim... if this ran in it then just a better fan or liquid cooling could be the cure to my CPU bottleneck... Just wondering what everyone here thinks or has done that might involve this combo of parts Core 2 Quad 65watt and the 0RY007 motherboard, Or with the Intel Core Quad X3360/Q9550 2.83G from Xeon E5440 SLBBJ/SLANS +2pc Mod Adapter they sell on ebay, this is a cheaper solution but more risky, I am curious if anyone has done it..... IF not let me know if anyone is interested in someone trying it enough to help offset some of the cost of trying it on a donation board or something...... I know this is an old pc ,I know its its cheaper to build a new one, but whats the fun in that? Im trying to keep this thing running way past life just to see what can really be done SSD and HD7550 with 8gb of ram already play wow in 1080p like butter but when I run more stuff I hit the cpu bottleneck if I can crack that , Im going to bench mark it vs the orginal and see just how far it has come. This is a SS of what its got so far, but ram has just been changed to all match.
Set up so far

8gb of Corsair

Have you read my previous post here:
The 0RY007 motherboard has no support for any Core 2 Quad processors.
You need the FoxConn DG33m03 motherboard, the G33m02 [Dell P/N 0RY007] and DG33m03 [Dell P/N 0FM586] are essentially identical, except for the power regulators on the motherboard. The G33m02 is a cheaper version of the board that has only has 6 voltage regulator IC's and there are 11 voltage regulators on the DG33m03.
Plus a minimum of a 350w power supply is required for a Socket LGA775 Core 2 Quad processor.Bev.
Yes I did read that , but the Q9550S is not a high wattage Processor its a 65 watt Just like the core 2 Duo ........ it should run in theory as long as the micro code is there. Dont mistake the Q9550 with the Q9550s, The Low TDP is the point in my question...... I realize i could upgrade the board and power supply and run a quad core but that would defeat the purpose of getting more life from this board. Thanks for your fast reply.. I know this question has not been asked before in these forums as I have tried to find anything on the web to see if anyone has tried it. But its looking more like I'm going to be the one who tries it .
Check the charts , you will see the TDP is same as E6550 I have in it now and should in theory not require more power or more regulators to make more wattage. ....... ofc thats theory and real life will vary LOL.

Good luck, let's hope it works out for you.
Please post back with the results.
Did you ever try out the 9550S 65watt cpu? and what was the result, I am considering this for my own Inspiron 530.
I have a Vostro 230 series which uses also uses the Foxconn g33m02 motherboard with a Intel Xeon x3370 (identical to the Q9650 series CPU) in it running fine since March 2013, with an upgraded Power supply (400 watt). I've also had to change out those [Admin NOTE: Profanity removed as per TOU] Goldstar (HL series) optical drives (which has since renamed itself to LG Electronics) - but that's another story.
Please let me know. I've had difficulty getting the Core 2 duo E8600 (intel SLB9L) series CPU to work properly (it works but had some issues here and there) with the g33m02 motherboard in my Vostro 400 due to some stepping issue but the Core 2 duo E8500 (SLAPK) works great.
Your input on the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S and it's success or failure would be a great boon.
What issues did you have getting the Core 2 duo E8600 series CPU to work properly? The reason i am asking i just bought this CPU for this installation and waiting on it to get to delivered. Should i go ahead and send it back?
I had some issues with the e8600 core 2 duo where it caused windows vista/7/8 to crash. It could of been the CPU I got as it was used - but I read there were "stepping" compatibility issues with regard to the mobo in this series Dell. I currently use the Intel q9550S (core 2 quad - lower power consumption) with the g33m02 type series mobo w/ no problems.

In the Season 2 finale of CBS's "Madam Secretary," Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni) falls from power. Episode 23, titled "Vartius," depicts the tension in the White House when President Dalton considers replacing her as Secretary of State.
Elizabeth may be resourceful and strong, but her power in Capitol Hill has been greatly reduced. The Secretary of State has, in the recent past, been attacked by Russell Jackon, the President's Chief of Staff. Fans of the show will remember that Bess didn't sound particularly diplomatic when she was asked about the Chilean mining conflict, or about the Doomsday clock.
The Secretary of State has been on the receiving end of Russell's tirades, and the implication of her answers on the President's hopes of re-election. In this context, it isn't surprising that President Dalton wants to fire her. But what does Bess do in order to lose her job? Could it be related to Dmitri?
In episode 22, Russia's Foreign Minister said they would exchange Dmitri and Talia for Peter Buckley, the Russian spy.
Bess knows that Dmitri's release would repair her fractured marriage, but the President wouldn't arrange Peter's travel to Russia. The promo for episode 23 includes a scene in which Russell says, "You have no business even discussing this in the middle of an election."
Will Bess lose her job? Will she contest for President in Season 3? What do you think will happen? Let us know in the comments section.
Season 2 episode 23's synopsis (via TV Guide) reads:
Season 2 concludes with shocking news about an important political operative reaching Elizabeth, who finds herself navigating her way through tricky waters after hearing that President Dalton is considering replacing her as Secretary of State. Meanwhile, Stevie and Jareth get engaged.
"Madam Secretary" Season 2 episode 23 airs at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, May 8, on CBS. You can live-stream the episode via CBS All Access.

Johannesburg - An investigation has been launched into R100m in missing SA Clothing and Textile Workers' Union (Sactwu) pension funds, it said on Thursday."I have appointed a senior attorney at one of the top legal firms in South Africa to deal with the allegations," Sactwu general secretary Andre Kriel said."If any guilt is proven, the guilty must go to jail for a long time," he said.Canyon Springs Investments 12 took the funds as an unsecured loan, apparently lost them and faces liquidation, the Star reported on Thursday.It wrote that the prospects of recovering the money seemed slim. Sactwu claimed about 85 000 workers could be affected.
I cannot understand why people continue to invest with unknown companies. Have we not learnt lessons on the back of fly-by-night's going under? Who is Canyon Springs Investments anyway? Who at SACTWU was responsible for giving the mandate to this money money? Maybe they should go too.
What??? an unsecured loan of 100 mill. Sounds like a typical cadre move if you ask me.... Oh well at least it seems their own will suffer this time
Maybe they should put the people from pension fund who gave permission for transfer of R100m in jail as well.
Hold all the directors responsible. Send them to jail and throw the key away..
Visit Moneyweb for a more detailed story of those involved. Looks like ANC cronies strike again.
Definitely sounds like ANC cronies again. The ANC is great at taking other peoples' money, especially that of taxpayers who don't support them in the first place.
just who are the the Directors involed on both sides, the name list will tell us a lot !
will it ever end the rich and connected stealing from the poor. And yet 6 out of 10 people still voted for the ANC.The will continue to steal from us who give them the funds through our pensions and taxes.

Kienle and Cave win 2012 Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Las Vegas
The men chasing were running fast, but not fast enough to make up enough time on Sebastian Kienle of Germany.
Kienle won the men's 70.3 World Championship in Las Vegas in 3:54:35 this past Sunday, September 9, 2012. The recap of the race was probably best put by three-time IRONMAN world champion and the defending champion here, Craig Alexander, who said, "I had a good day. You're not going to win them all, and the better man won. The stronger man. He had a great bike ride and had a great run – he hardly faded at all." That's big praise coming from the defending Ironman World Champion.
Leanda Cave started out the 2012 slow, but she is coming on strong to win the women's race. Considering the field of women assembled here that Cave beat across the line, it looks she might be ready to go for a strong finish. "There's still some tough competition in Kona and I'm keeping my eye on the prize," Cave said, obviously determined to try and move up a step or two on the podium in Kona.

By December, BMC will discontinue its Patrol product line and begin the era of BMC Performance Manager, a network management solution with elements of Patrol and its lighter-weight, agentless cousin Patrol Express, said Dave Hardy, product manager at BMC, Houston.
BMC Performance Manager will simplify the Patrol solution by performing in both the environments the two previous products served, he said. For example, instead of Patrol customers having to deploy Patrol Express to monitor remote IT environments that are simpler to manage than the main network, Performance Manager will be able to "expand the reach of monitoring without expanding the more complex management of the full Patrol agents and solution," Hardy said.
Licensing will also be simplified with Performance Manager. In June, BMC will combine the licensing of Patrol and Patrol Express into one, said Hardy. The combined licensing should have a minimal effect on pricing for customers running both Patrol and Patrol Express, he said.

Something is stirring down in the Dungeon
The London Dungeon's "despicable and 'orrible" attractions have titillated tourists for years from its dark and "ghastly" recess under the railway arches at London Bridge Station.
But not for much longer.
The home of plague-infested streets, torture chambers and the Drop of Doom tower could soon be moving near the London Eye on the South Bank.
Merlin Entertainments Group, the operator of the Dungeon, said yesterday that it had received planning permission to relocate the facility to the County Hall building.
Under the proposed plans, it would convert part of the building into a new Dungeon facility. The plans submitted to the London Borough of Lambeth show that many of Dungeon's existing attractions could be recreated there, as well as some new ones — such as…

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Irish Repertory Theatre Company Inc, New York, NY, USA
We have attended many performances by this group and each one has been of superb quality in terms of the acting, directing, costumes, sets,choice of play, etc.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
many, many theatrical productions of gripping, superbly executed plays.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
their selection of plays from the historical,classical canon -- plays that focus on provocative ideas, verbal communication, insight into society and human relationships.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
all efficient and courteous.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
bring a boon to the NY theatrical scene.

Much of the world's enduring literature — stories, fables, fairy tales and even stage plays and operas — deals with the clash between good and evil. Some of grand opera's vivid personifications of evil are the police chief Scarpia in Puccini's "Tosca," the Duke of Mantua in Verdi's "Rigoletto" and Iago in his "Otello," and Hagen in Wagner's "Gotterdammerung." Among the villainous women are the Wicked Witch in Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" and Delilah in Saint-Saens' "Samson and Delilah."
With its upcoming production of "Anya17," Opera Parallele is exploring one of the vilest iterations of evil in our day: human trafficking. Viktor is the character in the opera, who, as a modern-day personification of evil, masterminds the abduction of Anya, a young, naive and lonely girl in Eastern Europe. He and his evil cohorts lure her into human slavery via the sex trade.
Adam Gorb, recent winner of the British Composer Award, composed the music to a libretto by Ben Kaye in order to raise awareness of this exploitative secret world in which an estimated 800,000 young women and children are trafficked into the countries of the European Union every year.
According to program notes, "amidst a maelstrom of deception, secrecy, betrayal, violence and apparent hopelessness," the opera explores the minds and motivations of four such women, along with the callousness of their lovers, captors and even some members of their families.
At the very least, the subject matter is uncomfortable and disturbing. But, as most music lovers know, setting a tale to music is like adding color to a painting or three dimensions to a drawing. Music can intensify the message and cause it to reach more deeply into the human soul. This subject matter is indeed a worldwide problem that cries out for broad human help.
The brilliant Nicole Paiement will conduct "Anya17," and the ingenious concept designer-director is Brian Staufenbiel.
Cast members are baritone Victor Benedetti in the role of the heartlessly evil Viktor; soprano Anna Noggle as Anya; mezzo-soprano Catherine Cook as Carole and Natalia; mezzo-soprano Laura Krumm as Elena; soprano Shawnette Sulker as Mila; and tenor Andres Ramirez as both Uri and Gabriel.
An open stage rehearsal, after which Paiement and Staufenbiel will lead the cast and audience in a question-and-answer session, takes place at 4:30 p.m. Friday at the Marine's Memorial Theater, 609 Sutter St., in San Francisco. Paiement and Staufenbiel, along with Gorb, will also participate in a panel discussion at the same location at 7 p.m. on June 18. Both events are free and open to the public.
The opera plays 8 p.m. June 20-21 and 4 p.m. June 22 at Marines' Memorial Theatre; tickets, $35-$100, are available at 415-392-4400 and www.operaparallele.org.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILL: The venerable William Shakespeare, whose name is still bandied about all over the planet as though he lived just around everyone's corner, was actually born 450 years ago and died a mere 52 years later. But even as his bones are "a-mouldering in the grave" in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church in England's Stratford-upon-Avon in England, his notoriety keeps marching on. Immediate case in point: The San Francisco Choral Artists are throwing a 450th birthday party for him and his friends.
Choral Society leader Magen Solomon, the singers and a few actors are gathering to celebrate the Bard's achievements with a "Midsummer Night's Singing" concert featuring works set to music by his own contemporaries, such as Thomas Morley, and by some more recently Shakespeare-smitten guys, such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Richard Felciano and Paul Chihara. Actors from the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival will deliver monologues and dialogues.
Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 1111 O'Farrell St., San Francisco; 4 p.m. Sunday, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 114 Montecito Ave., Oakland; $12-$30; 415-494-8149, www.sfca.org.

Mar 2015
Hireling Shepherd, 2015 16'x12'x12′ Bellevue Art Museum, WA.
Something like this could usually be easily remedied. Well, probably not easily, but could be remedied. It happened slowly in a way that, while it could be conceived of, was barely believed. Then it happened all at once. I guess, at that point it was easier to call the growing discomfort a sense of anticipation—to tell ourselves this was something we chose—to distract ourselves until the numbness was almost complete and we could say, this is what pleasure feels like, if not pleasure than peace, if not peace then at least contentment. Something like this could usually be remedied.
It is really uncomfortable, and will eventually be fatal, but there is no immediate danger.

PLEASANT HILL — At the halfway point in the Diablo Valley Athletic League's volleyball season, four teams have three wins or more and five of them still feel that they have a shot at winning the league crown.
A league that has been dominated by Northgate in recent years now has several teams looking to dethrone the champs.
One of those teams is College Park, which is searching for its first league title since 1995. Heading into this week, the Falcons were 13-10 overall and 3-3 in league play, 21/2 games back of DVAL-leading Northgate. College Park plays Northgate on Oct. 10.
"The league is pretty wide open this year and I think Northgate is beatable," College Park coach Na Vo said. "It's an open race and it could come down to who can grind it out and who has energy left in the last match or two."
Challenging for a league title is a huge step in the right direction for a Falcons program that, before last year, had gone a decade between playoff appearances. And after 24 wins a season ago, they are certainly in a great position to make the playoffs once again.
It's an impressive feat when you realize that the team only has three returning players from a year ago, though all three play a major role.
Sierra Stratton, a junior outside hitter, leads the team in kills and is the go-to girl when the team needs a side-out, while fellow junior Rachel Henry leads the team in assists from the setter position, and also hits from the outside.
Senior libero Anika Anderson leads the defense and is one of only two seniors on the team.
"We're a pretty young team and inexperienced," Vo said. "But we're very athletic. I have never had a team as athletic as this team."
A big part of the transition from a losing program to a winning program for College Park is having the team believe that it can win when it takes the court and that it can compete for league titles, and in the North Coast Section playoffs.
"It's huge for us because they've never experienced it," Vo said. "We have a chance to get back to being a consistent program."

London based FC Exchange was founded in 2005 by entrepreneurs Nick Fullerton and Martin Steenkamp. The fast growing foreign exchange company has grown by 230% in the last three years as FC Exchange expands its global reach, including capturing payment flows in Asia. Global offices are located in South Africa, Australia, Spain, France and Cyprus.
FC Exchange is now in the midst of robust growth plans, involving strengthening its position in the UK, where FC Exchange has offices in Berkhamsted and Cornwall. With more than 25,000 clients, FC Exchange transfers approximately £100 million monthly. The firm seeks to expand its e-commerce business sector in 2016, employing their e-money licence in a bid to offer services that challenge the existing eMerchant service payment providers. FC Exchange was awarded a UK Best Company Award in 2016.
For clients moving abroad, buying overseas property and returning to the UK:
• Best Rate Guarantee- often up to 5% better than banks
• Dedicated currency broker for each customer.
• One-off, 'spot transfers'
• Regular Payments scheduled
• Travel Money
• £50 Amazon voucher for referring a friend
Industry experts work with business clients to develop Industry Solutions for key issues faced in aerospace, agricultural and manufacturing sectors as well as:
• Spot transfers
• Forward Contracts
• Market Orders
• Regular Payments Scheduled
• Bulk Payments
Partnership options allow companies to directly refer another firm to FC Exchange or direct them to FC Exchange's website through widgets installed on their websites. The benefits of tailored partnership agreements include enhancing client offerings, sales and marketing support and a new revenue stream as commissions are shared.
Rich with content, FC Exchange really seems to empathize with both personal and business clients. Noting that 14% of persons migrating to the UK are actually citizens who had been living abroad, FC Exchange is prepared to assist clients with service few other FX companies had anticipated. This insight doesn't carry through to other website details which offer such a broad brushstroke of services , it becomes difficult to focus on anything of substance. Blog posts are likewise vague and unsubstantial. Currency hub provides a currency calculator and a sampling of lives exchange rates. A quarterly forecast can be downloaded.
FC Exchange has a 0.7 rating on TRUSTPILOT with a scant 265 reviewers. Most clients enjoy good customer service and compliment their dedicated accounts managers for giving them clear information regarding their transfers. One complaint, however, involved a client who hadn't been informed of security checks which hadn't been completed prior to his transfer with the result that he expected to lose the foreign property he'd hoped to buy with his temporarily unavailable funds.
A best rate guarantee is a fairly standard promise made in the foreign exchange industry. FC Exchange follows best practices by giving clients a dedicated customer service representative, which is fine for personal transfers. An FC Exchanges ambition of shaking up the eCommerce services requires more than an expert customer service representative. There's nothing on offer at all in this category at present, so it's difficult to know why eMerchants would choose FC Exchange over companies which these services and global reach already firmly established.
4 out of 5 stars for good personal services and a lack of business options
A dedicated currency broker is the best way to provide clients with a good customer service relationship in personal or business transfers.
Although expanding, FC Exchange hasn't yet established global licencing. Transfers to or from the UK and FC Exchange locations are available but FC Exchange's hopes to shake up eCommerce services is an idea not yet realized.

Fast forward several years, and I begin dating him. He told me early in our relationship about his background with her. I thought he was so brave. Little did I know what the future would hold in store for us.
Dday #1 was 4/30/13, just shy of our 5th wedding anniversary. I found emails between my WH and the MOW. I remember feeling numb. Completely convinced that there had to be some sort of mistake. There was no way my loving husband could have sent these emails. It was him. I confronted him, and he swore to me that they had only met in person once, for lunch. He said when we visited my newborn cousin in the hospital, it was the same hospital the baby they had placed up for a adoption had been born in. He said it caused him a trigger back to that day. He had emailed her asking if she had any photos of the son they had placed for adoption. After they met for lunch, he said she emailed him saying she was still in love with him (despite the fact that each of them happened to be married). Their "EA" continued from that point on.
Four days after I discovered his lies, his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Until that phone call, we had not talked or touched one another since DDay. I hugged him as we both cried over the devastating news. At that moment, I knew I wanted to work on our marriage, and get through the coming challenges together.
We had been working so hard at rebuilding our relationship. He told me he had gone NC as soon as I learned of their relationship, and promised me nothing physical happened.
Last night I told him that I was afraid that he was still hiding something and that one day, I would be blindsighted by him again. He asked me why I thought he was hiding something. I simply asked him if he was hiding something. After a pause, he said yes. I felt the ground shift from below me as I waited for what felt like an eternity for what was to come. He then admitted to me that he slept with her twice during their affair.
So I am numb again. Completely devasted that he lied to me again. Shocked that I let myself start to forgive him for the damage caused to our relationship. Now I find myself switching back and forth between sobbing and feeling so empty that it hurts.
For his part, he playing the role of the remorseful WH again. Promising me that this is the whole truth, and pleading with me to one day love and trust him again.
The thing is, I just don't know if I can. I don't know that I can glue all of my shattered pieces back together again. Never in a million years did I believe that this would be my life.
On one hand it's good that he was honest(ish) when you asked for it. On another that admission was such a lie and that is what has strained me the most with deciding if I want the M or not.
Take the time you need for you. Decide what you want and if you do decide to keep the M decide what kind of man you expect him to be. Hold him to that, but with him being the driving force of it, not you pulling him up to that. It is HIS effort, not yours.
I'm so very sorry. We know and share your pain. Please don't try to pick up the pieces yet. You have to find them first. You have to work on yourself and make sure the pieces are the ones YOU want to rebuild with. Whatever happens in your future take this lesson, apply it, be a better person. Grow, prosper. Reach out. Strength is there. We are here for you.
He promised me that he wouldn't be a coward anymore. He said that everything was on the table...but the bottom just keeps sinking lower and lower.
I do know how you are feeling and it is painful. I am sorry and wish you the best.

LANSING (WWJ) – The Patriot Flag will be flying high in Michigan on Tuesday.
The more than 1,700-square-foot flag honoring those who died in the 9-11 terrorist attacks is scheduled to be flown at the state Capitol. The flag is making a cross-country trip, and Michigan is the first stop since Navy Seals killed the al-Qaeda chief. The goal is for the flag to fly in all 50 states as the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks approaches.
The White House, meanwhile, is trying to decide whether to release graphic photos of a dead Osama bin Laden, and video of his burial at sea.
How do WWJ listeners feel about that? Following are some of the comments received from listeners:
"They should not release videos or pictures. I think we should trust the word of our Navy Seals and our president of the United States."
"I believe 100 percent that it should be showed. That way people can see the justice."
"I don't think this video should be used of Osama bin Laden's killing."
"It wasn't too gory to show all the news coverage when the towers came down and all the people that he killed, so as far as I'm concerned, I want proof that he's dead."
"I absolutely think they should, uh, show the video of Osama bin Laden. What was more gruesome than watching the 9-11 live with people jumping out of 90-story buildings to their death?"

WE Fest Karaoke Roundup makes dreams come true
For several years now, the WE Fest Karaoke Roundup has given aspiring singers a unique opportunity to open for some of the biggest acts in country music during the annual WE Fest country music festival.
On Thursday night, Lorie Streeter of Le Sueur, Minn., was the latest singer to get that chance. As the third place finisher in the grand finals of the 2008 Karaoke Roundup competition, Streeter opened for Thursday night's headliner, Rascal Flatts.
"I didn't think there was any way I would place (in the top three), but I told everyone that if I did, I wanted to open for Rascal Flatts -- so I got exactly what I wanted," said Streeter Thursday, just minutes before she was scheduled to take the WE Fest stage.
Streeter and her family also had the opportunity to meet the band prior to the show, and "I gave my demo CD to Gary LeVox (lead singer of Rascal Flatts)," she said excitedly.
Though she entered the Karaoke Roundup for the first time this year, Streeter is no stranger to the music scene.
"I had a six-piece band and traveled with them for a long time," she said. "I've opened for Marty Stuart, Collin Raye, and Neal McCoy (the latter also performed at WE Fest Thursday)."
But all that was nine years ago, before Streeter gave birth to her son.
"It's the first time in nine years I've done anything with my music," she said. "I stopped when my son was born, and this is my first year back."
As such, she wasn't expecting to get too far when she took part in the local competition at Mully's on Madison in Mankato, Minn. But she did.
"I made it to the top 10 of the southern Minnesota state finals," Streeter said.
That was enough to get her into the grand finale competition in Hinckley, Minn., on May 31. She placed third -- which meant that she would be performing on the opening day of WE Fest (the second and first place finishers, Dustin Weiss and Aimee Lauren, performed on Friday and Saturday).
Prior to taking the stage, Streeter said, "I'm not nervous. I'm excited for my son to be able to see me do this. This is an unbelievable opportunity they give to us (contest winners) -- I've never sung in front of this many people before."
Streeter, a bit on the shy side, admitted that she felt more comfortable on stage than down amongst the crowd in the concert bowl.
"I feel much safer on stage," she said. "Hopefully it comes across that way on stage."
What makes Streeter's return to the concert stage all the more remarkable is the fact that she was diagnosed with lupus last year.
"It's my hope that I'm going to inspire somebody who maybe doesn't feel so good all the time that they can still do whatever they put their heart and mind to," she said. "It's about living out your dreams."
So now that one dream is accomplished, what's next?
"I think I'm going to go out for Nashville Star (the reality TV singing competition) next," she said, noting that experienced performers such as herself had to "get creative" when it came to getting national exposure.
"Country fans really are open to all kinds of performers," she added.


text: BANGKOK, May 8 (Reuters) - Thai shares posted their worst drop since January on Thursday after an anti-graft body found former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra guilty of negligence over a rice-buying scheme while stocks in Vietnam fell the most in nearly 13 years amid a South China sea dispute with China. Bangkok's key SET index ended down 1.7 percent at 1,379.02, the lowest close in almost six weeks, led down by large caps such as Advanced Info Service. Yingluck's rice scheme case will be further heard by the Senate and she now faces a ban from politics if found guilty by the Senate. Domestic institutions sold shares worth a net 1.3 billion baht ($40.14 million) while foreign investors bought worth a net 1.2 billion baht ($37.05 million), Thomson Reuters data showed. The Thai market saw a net 2 billion baht of foreign selling on Wednesday after a court ordered Yingluck to step down after finding her guilty of abuse of power. Thailand's consumer confidence fell for the thirteenth month in April, reflecting worries about the prolonged political uncertainty. The Thai stock market was Asia's second-worst performer on the day after Vietnam, which was the worst, Thomson Reuters data showed. "It's no surprise that the political situation is undermining consumer confidence and the economic outlook ... As the lack of further clarity on politics leaves fiscal policy in a vacuum, growth will remain subpar at best," said economist Julia Goh at CIMB Investment Bank. Stocks in Indonesia ended nearly flat after Bank Indonesia kept its key reference rate unchanged at 7.50 percent on Thursday, as widely expected, with pressures over inflation and a widening current-account deficit easing. The Philippines and Malaysia saw a range-bound session before the Philippine central bank and Bank Negara Malaysia both held key interest rates as expected. The decisions came after market close.

Type: Improvement
Status: Resolved
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
here a patch for creating two interface : HttpResponse and HttpRequest (implementation are moved to HttpResponseImpl and HttpRequestImpl).
We expose to the deft user only those interfaces (with the javadoc as API documentation) and hide all the parsing/accumulation process.
The idea is :
- hide the complexity to the user, provide clear API with it's doc
- prevent user to call unwanted methods
- being able to change the inner implementatio without affecting user code
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
looks fine for me, yep there is something to do about package organization
If you look for an eclipse fomater, here the MINA one (java convention with space in place of tabs) :
+1 for the extraction (the package is starting to look a little random now to me; might get to that).
I ran through it all and applied the changes with only minor changes. You're going to hate me, Julien, but I had to run my own formatter to see what was what... we should have a standard formatter available soon (or so I keep saying). I'm pretty sure it's all there, though. Let me know if I missed something
Committed: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1153593&view=rev
Ready for review.
Sorry for the formatting I fogot my eclipse is configured on autoformat on save
Yes it's exactly what you described plus some javadocing on the interfaces (API doco).
Hi, Julien!
The formatting differences make it a little confusing, but from a quick glance this is a straight Extract Interface refactoring with references to the new implementation added as needed right? Sounds like a good idea.
If nobody else gets to it first, I will take a proper look at this for you tomorrow. In the meantime could you please upload "HttpRequestImpl.java" again, and check the "Grant Rights" box?

Thanks so much to everyone who answered my survey! The results were pretty overwhelming in favor of smaller skeins, so I'm glad I asked. Since a few people did want the larger skeins, and that's actually what I have dyed up right now, I'm making those available…for now.
But before I explain that, let me explain what I've been working on for the last…um, six months or so! It wasn't supposed to take that long (yeah, we all know that one, don't we?), and another part that works behind the scenes in conjunction with it that was the reason for the switch in the first place and will make my life much easier once it's all finished still isn't finished and so my life is temporarily more difficult, but it's reached the stage where if I don't do this part of the transition, it will be even more work for me…
Where was I?
Ah! This! My new store!
I switched to different shopping cart software, and so I've been adding all of the new products into the new store. So…silk yarn, lace weight yarn, silk combed top, merino/cashmere combed top, yarn and combed top (wool/alpaca) and combed top (100% wool) from The Local Wool Project…it's all there.
I'm doing things a little differently than before. You can pick a base yarn or fiber, and then order it in any of my colorways, whether I have it in stock or not. If I don't have it in stock, I'll dye it to order. And if I have two skeins but you need four for your project, don't worry; I dye in batches of 5, and I will send you four skeins from the new batch so they're a good match.
This will let me bring you a lot of new yarns and fibers since I won't have such a huge initial investment for each line.
And if you're a wholesale customer, ordering will be much easier. There's just one store for everyone now, and if you have a wholesale password, the wholesale prices are visible to you. Easy peasy.
I've done a whole bunch of testing, but if you find something isn't working quite right, please let me know, and please be gentle! I'm still trying to do 587 things simultaneously, and I'm a bit stressed!
Oh! And the silk! For a short time, if you buy two 50g skeins of the same colorway, i.e., 100g, you can have the 100g skein that I don't have to rewind into two smaller skeins, and you can use the coupon code GOTSILK to save $3 so you're getting the 100g at the original $87 it would have been. Nice?
Also, I'm working on a cowl pattern for the silk yarn.
I think that's everything…there's probably more, but I need to go fall in a heap now.
Hope you like it. The new store, not the heap I fall into.
