Belinda Lockhart has created and sold women's hats for the past nine years.
But ask her fans across the world who "Belinda Lockhart" is and they probably won't know. Ask them if they know "Ms. Purdy" and they'll likely rave about a whimsical creation from their favorite milliner.
Five years ago, the Clinton woman was able to take her business making Kentucky Derby style and Victorian style hats from a part-time to a full-time gig. It's something she never expected to do.
"It was all an accident," she said.
It started when a friend that was opening an antique store asked Lockhart if she had ever made a hat (which she had not) and sent her home with the supplies to start. Nearly a decade later, Lockhart is entrenched in the milliner life.
"My house is filled with nothing but hats," Lockhart said. "My dog walks around with feathers on."
Lockhart is one of a number of Gateway-area crafters selling their goods in a nationwide and global marketplace with help from sites like Etsy, an online marketplace where artisans can sell their goods to customers across the world.
Sellers pay 20 cents to post an item on the site. Etsy takes 3.5 percent of the sale and PayPal also takes a small fee to process payments, leaving artisans with a small overhead for selling their goods.
Lockhart has sold hats, fasteners, and other accessories to customers as far away as New Zealand, Japan and the United Kingdom all from the comfort of her home.
"Online is just the best," she said. "You reach so many people."
While she takes time off during the holidays, Lockhart said her business remains steady throughout the year, with peaks before the Kentucky Derby and Halloween. From mid-September to the third week of October alone she sold 125 items ranging from $9.99 to $200 depending on the item and how extravagant it is.
"I have lots of regular customers who want custom hats," she said. "Ladies don't want something that someone else has. They want something unique. So all my creations are made with that in mind," Lockhart said.
Mary Krajnovich, of Clinton, started as an Etsy customer admiring the myriad of handcrafted items and lamenting their steep prices.
"I'm a jewelry fiend. I love, love, love jewelry. I started looking at pieces and I wondered 'I'd love to have that, but it's too expensive for me. How much would it cost me to make that?' So, really it started out kind of selfishly," she said.
She quickly jumped to YouTube for free lessons and became enthralled with the jewelry-making process from sketching a design to the end product.
Krajnovich launched her online business, "Mary Jae Designs," selling wire wrapped precious gemstones and handcrafted sterling silver, brass, copper and fine silver jewelry via Etsy this October. Items range from $7.50 to $50.
Like Lockhart, she's committed to providing her customers with a high quality product. Affordability and versatility also top Krajnovich's list of priorities.
Two months after opening, she had a Christmas sales bump with the help of supporters across the country.
"I have to thank my friends for getting the word out there," she said. "The really truly amazing thing is I consider them friends, but I've never met them. It's people believing in what I do, in who I am, and they've never even met me."
Her real confidence to share her goods came after the owner of Sarah's Classic Design in Clinton, a stranger, gave her a chance to sell her jewelry at the salon.
"It's not just me thinking my stuff is good. Other people think it's good, too," she said. "Because this stranger was kind enough to give me this opportunity, it really pushed me to get out there and showcase my stuff."
Although Krajnovich pulled her items from the salon after six months, she remains rife with validation.
Online, her items have been selling in spurts to buyers across the country. She's also clinched a new deal to sell her pieces with the Painted Rooster and Mercy Medical Center South's gift shop.
Beyond the faith from strangers, the stay-at-home mom also has the support of her husband, their three children and her best friend.
She tries to escape to her attic studio space to create for at least one hour a day.
A pile of Christmas presents sits in the corner of Krajnovich's studio but they wouldn't be if it weren't for the money she makes through her jewelry business, she said.
She's also hoping to help people with her craft by making custom pendants for parents who have lost a child.
"I am just touched and humbled by the stories I have heard," she said. "I want to be able to do something for other people.
Becky Hilgendorf doesn't make much money off of the cards she creates in her riverfront Fulton, Ill., home and sells on Etsy.
And that's fine with her.
"I'm not motivated by money. I'm not worried about that," she said. "It's just been fun."
Her garage turned studio space is an amalgamation of tools a mixed media artist needs, paintings, dolls and other creations from the past seven or eight years. Upstairs her kitchen table is a "happy mess" from creating a card, she said.
Among the richly colored displays and stations filling the garage stands a rack holding roughly 70 cards Hilgendorf made.
Layered in with the others on one of the shelves are cards she created for people battling cancer. Hilgendorf started making them for friends with the disease.
"You couldn't find anything that was kind of appropriate or fun so I started making cards for cancer," she said.
The feature images of strong looking women with phrases like "Cancer is a word not a sentence," or "Peace, Love, Cure."
She sold her cards and paintings to friends until she was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 1⁄2 ago and decided the latter belonged to her kids.
"I never in a million years when I was making the cards thought they would apply to me," the retired hairdresser, who is now cancer free, said.
Hilgendorf didn't completely pull herself away from selling her goods, though. She continued to sell cards both to friends and acquaintances. Her largest sale was 45 cards to her son's friend in Ohio. She also ventured online to reach customers across the world under the Etsy monicker "pikesbabe."
Her cards have traveled as far as Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia.
While she does have other cards with similar vibrant images, the cancer cards constitute a majority of the cards she sells.
"People who buy the cards usually drop me a line afterwards and let me know they are going frame them and give them to a friend," she said. "You feel like you're helping."

Chappell sent an e-mail stating Ganguly is not "physically or mentally fit" for the job, according to media reports.
Board president Ranbir Singh Mahendra told the BBC: "I have received an e-mail from Greg but I cannot disclose the details now."
Ganguly has said he was asked to resign before the first Test in Zimbabwe.
But earlier this week Chappell responded by claiming he was seeking to motivate Ganguly after a run of poor form with the bat.
"It is disappointing that what was a private discussion between the captain and myself has become a cause of public speculation.
The issue is likely to be discussed at a meeting in Mumbai next Tuesday when the team's performance since Chappell replaced John Wright as coach is to be reviewed.
Former captains Sunil Gavaskar, Srinivas Venkatraghavan and Ravi Shastri are part of the committee who will look into the matter.
Ganguly was serving a ban, imposed because of persistently slow over-rates during a series in Pakistan, when Chappell first took charge.
And although he returned to action during a one-day competition in Sri Lanka in August, Rahul Dravid continued to lead the side.
"I'm not worried about the captaincy and I'll bat at any position," Ganguly said at the time.
But India lost all three games against Sri Lanka during the tour and Ganguly was given the job back when the squad for Zimbabwe was announced.
The dispute is going on against a background of uncertainty about the Board of Control elections, which have now been postponed until November.
The High Court in Calcutta has appointed two former chief justices of India to oversee the election of a new president, but this has been challenged by Mahendra and his supporters.
"We cannot be the servant of the observers," said Jagmohan Dalmiya, patron of the Board and Mahendra's predecessor.
Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar is to stand against Mahendra, having lost out by one vote in last year's election.

This is a great time of the year for home repair or maintenance projects, especially the exterior painting of your home. While most people paint their house to change the appearance of it or to update their colors there is a far more important reason why you should be concerned with the condition of paint on the exterior of your home. Paint actually acts as a protective barrier against all of the elements that your home weathers. Rain, sunlight, wind and freezing temperatures all have adverse effects on the paint on your home over time. This is why you should inspect the condition of the paint on your home often and take preventive measure at the first sign of trouble. Some of the signs to look for include the obvious, any peeling or flaking paint is a sure sign of trouble because any exposed wood can begin to deteriorate and rot in a short period of time. Other signs include any blistering of the paint and also when the paints color begins to fade. Another thing to also check when inspecting the paint on your home is the condition of the caulk on your home. Any missing or split caulking should also be repaired as soon as possible. Of course the other reason to paint your home is that it also beautifies it. Nothing can change the entire look and feel of a house more than painting it. In the picture that I have posted is a recent painting project completed by Evans Painting which is located in Pelham Al. After the proper repairs and necessary prep work was conducted the home was then painted using a high quality satin paint. The freshly painted home looks brand new and the homeowner was well pleased. If you have noticed any of the warning signs of the paint beginning to degrade on your home then call a trusted, fourth generation Pelham Al house painting contractor today for a free estimate. Evans Painting can also offer you expert advice on your next project as well as assist you with color selections.
Evans Painting offers exterior painting, interior painting, general home repair and expert carpentry services. Evans Painting serves the entire Jefferson and Shelby County area including all of Birmingham, Hoover, Pelham, Alabaster, Homewood, Helena, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Gardendale and Chelsea Alabama.

My Dad was told that he was working for the mafia, and that he should bring his child in on the train so no one would be suspicious of him. That his child could stay at a safe place while he did his thing. His thing would be to watch this or that and make pointless reports back. What he was really being paid for was ME.
My Dad, Mom, brothers/sisters, were and many relitives were all part of some screwed up shit. This had something to do with the Catholic Chuch in association to Jesuits and Masons. As i understand it was slavery, to build nations, and manipulation of natural psychic abilities inherent in my bloodline.
The worst thing to ever happen to me was a "play", they'd put someone like me, a very young child, in a room with old men, that would then channel, Archons, or what ever you want to call them, demons, fallen angels, to interact with me. I was bait so they could learn things. I was raped, and beaten and tormented, tortued, and they tryed to make me into "one of them". Them are human husks that archons use to interact with this planet and its people.

This is a fantastic little label printer. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles or the build quality of the premium label machines, for small business it is perfect. It will easily handle moderate shipping needs (25-100 per day) with very little trouble or maintenance.
The only con that I have is the driver support. Windows is it. Linux support is very sketchy and Mac support is non-existent.
I bought this printer to print UPS labels using an on-line account. The printer does a really nice job of printing the labels, but I ran into a "gotch-ya" when it came to loading the driver.
While Zebra has drivers for this printer to run in 64 bit Windows 7, they won't work with UPS' on-line CampusShip. To print labels from your on-line account, you have to use UPS' driver that you download from their site. This driver works fine in 32 bit Windows XP, but won't install in 64 bit Windows 7.
Luckily for me, Windows 7 Professional and higher as a built in virtual machine called Windows XP Mode. Loading the driver in the virtual machine allows the printer to work in 64 bit Windows 7. Windows 7 Basic and Window 7 Home Premium don't include XP Mode.

This is a thermal label printer. First, it has small form factor, i.e. space saving. Second, it is a thermal printer that means no ink or toner is needed. The print quality is good/decent. It is well suitable for printing paypal shipping label and many other bar code labels. When u buy it, make sure you get the one with USB port. Some of the older model do not have USB port (only parallel port). Some sellers may sell this unit with a software CD. Well, the software can be downloaded directly from www.zebra.com website though (at least the driver). The only downside is that it does support only MS windows environment. If u need to run it with Mac OS X, you need to get parallels or some other windows VM software. -GearPool
Bought this printer as a more cost effective way to print shipping labels for my e-commerce website.
I like the speed and quality of the printer. I have no other label printers to compare this to, but it works well for my needs.
The only downside to it, was the set up time required to get it operational with my system (currently print postage through Stamps.com and UPS).
It was not a very user-friendly setup, and I had to resort to online community based forums to get help setting it up. Eventually I got it working, but it was not a simple plug-and-play device.
I like the quality of printing. What I dislike like about is I had trouble setting it up and printing labels on paypal at first. Now I really enjoy this printer a lot. I would recommond it to anyone who needs a thermal printer.

FOREX-Euro steady, investors hold fire before summit
- Tweet
- Share this
* Euro flat vs dollar, strong support around $1.2440 * Little progress on debt crisis expected at EU summit * Italian short term costs rise By Nia Williams LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - The euro steadied against the dollar on Wednesday after hitting a two-week low the previous day, but looked vulnerable to losses ahead of a European Union summit that is not expected to deliver new measures to ease the region's debt crisis. Any move toward the issuance of common euro zone bonds appeared less likely than ever after German Chancellor Angela Merkel was quoted as saying Europe would not share total debt liability "as long as I live". German leaders have deflated expectations of any breakthrough from the two-day summit which starts on Thursday, but investors are reluctant to sell the euro aggressively in case any progress in tackling the debt crisis is made. Another factor checking the euro's losses is the fact that speculators already have large bearish bets against the common currency. "People are waiting for the inevitable - which is that policymakers will probably fail to do what is necessary," said Neil Mellor, currency analyst at Bank of New York Mellon. "There's still the tantalising possibility there may be some give and take at the summit, so there's a degree of giving the euro the benefit of the doubt. But the long-term downtrend is distinctly negative." The euro was flat at $1.2495, recovering from a fall to a two-week low of $1.2441 hit on Tuesday on trading platform EBS, a level seen as providing strong technical support. The next downside target is a two-year low of $1.2288 hit on June 1. Some traders said a roadmap towards a common banking union or a decision at the summit to activate the euro zone's rescue fund to start buying Italian and Spanish government debt and lower their borrowing costs could provide relief to the euro. Italy's six-month borrowing costs rose to 2.957 percent at auction on Wednesday, their highest since December. The spike comes just ahead of a five- and 10-year debt sale for up to 5.5 billion euros on Thursday. On Tuesday, Spain saw its short term borrowing costs nearly triple. Growing concerns that more peripheral euro zone nations will be shut out from capital markets and expectations that fiscal austerity will drag the region into a more painful recession will see the euro stay under pressure. Any bounce towards the $1.27 or $1.28 level would attract sellers, traders said. "I am going short euro/dollar into the summit," said Stuart Frost, head of absolute returns and currency at RWC Capital, a London based fund manager. "The euro should be a lot lower than what it is and even if there is an agreement, chances of which are very low, the currency is headed towards $1.20." A Nomura survey showed a majority of investors expect the summit to produce no concrete measures. Twenty-two percent expected "a bailout announcement of sorts" while 14 percent were looking for "a resolution towards banking union", reflecting an outside chance of a breakthrough. JAPANESE POLITICS Against the yen, the euro was flat at 99.334 yen, having hit a two-week low of 98.74 the previous day. The common currency has lost more than 1.6 percent against the yen so far this week. The dollar was also flat at 79.47 yen, well below a two-month high of 80.63 yen hit earlier this week. Some market players said that while the yen was being supported by safe-haven inflows, political uncertainty stemming from a rift inside Japan's ruling party could start to weigh. Many investors outside Japan, though, are still unsure of the implications for the yen from the political uncertainty. "International investors have been burned so many times by trying to trade dollar/yen around Japanese political events. They are happy to watch the story unfold but unwilling to take positions, in FX at least," said Gareth Berry, associate director of G10 FX strategy for UBS in Singapore. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda faces the risk of a split in his party that could trigger a snap election after his signature tax increase plan cleared parliament's lower house on Tuesday despite its rejection by a group of party rebels. The hike is aimed at curbing Japan's snowballing public debt, which already exceeds two years' worth of its economic output. Analysts at Morgan Stanley believe the move to raise taxes will give the Bank of Japan more leeway to ease monetary policy and that is likely to be negative for the yen.

read morei am a little bit disappointed with the season finale. dapat wala nang cliffhangers!
i seriously hope that the next season would be about a totally new case. kapag yung Rosie Larsen killing pa rin ang season 2, i wouldn't watch it. i would not watch another 13 episodes just to find out whose Rosie's real killer is. [spoiler start]from the very beginning, mukhang yung councilman naman talaga. siguro, kaya lang gumawa ng fake photo si Holder eh para maaresto kaagad si councilman. i guess sometimes the end could really justify the means [spoiler end]
Bitin na bitin ang season finale. Haha
Though there are a lot of negative comments about the finale and the show overall, I REALLY LIKED 'THE KILLING'.
-Who killed Rosie? season 2 will just get better.
Linden and Holder (my favorite character) will be back for sure and the tension between them will surely rise.
Linden will be aggressive and less trusting, Holder will be having secret and complicated actions come next season.
-What will happen to Darren Richmond?
(the way the finale wrapped up, my take on him being the killer lessened down.)
-Who's the mystery person in the car that Holder spoke("Photo worked. He's going down.") about Richmond's arrest?
-What the f is going on Belko?haha
Watched The Killing's 2-hour premiere on FOX (Philippines) with my mom. All my mom could say is, "Parang di US show tong pinapanood natin"
Nakakaiyak yung scenes na kasama ang mga Larsens especially yung ending scene sa pilot. I'm hoping maging sunud-sunod na panonood ko nito.
Watching Episode 3 on Fox now. Nice way to input a Chandra Levy-reference. That case was such a headliner 10 years ago in DC.
---[spoiler start]And yes, nakita ko na rin yung Tagalog scene![spoiler end]
season 1 plang po ba to?
WOW! Both GoT and The Killing on April 1!
Best month of the year.
I remember watching the pilot. Almost gave up on the show. But the last few minutes of it screamed awesomeness. BAM. Tuluy-tuloy na.
Last edited by mykel14; Mar 13, 2012 at 10:54 PM.
o yeah boy. one of my fave shows last yr. april 1, marked date.
who killed rosie? what happened to holder?
I remember reading somewhere that they should have released the same poster as that of season 1 since they are still dealing with the same plot: finding the killer.
Nevertheless, Episode 1 Photos
Two-hour season 2 premiere on April 1!
bukas na ito season 2 1 day to go...
2hrs Season 2 opener...
awesome season 2 premiere...
-Richmond[spoiler start] is absolved in the murder for he was in the lake in tacoma that night to celebrate his wife anniversary and apparent suicide attempt. [spoiler end]
and from the looks of things he could win this election if he use his publicity right (handicapped) and awesome performance by actor who played jamie
Ganda ng episode!
I was worried that extending the case/series wouldn't be effective; but they set it up perfectly.
Mireille Enos is just amazing.
very nice second season premiere!
akala ko din hindi na magiging maganda, but i was wrong! ganda ng episode at hooked na naman ako! sino kaya pumatay talaga kay rosie?
buti na lang:
1. dropped yung charges kay richmond dahil nasa lake pala sya nun to celebrate yung wedding anniv nya ba yun?
2. hindi pala masama si holder
3. ang bait ni jamie. he really stucked it out with richmond. ang loyal niya talaga.

Madden NFL 25 – First Five Steps to dominate with the Cowboys in Connected Franchise Mode
Growing up in the shadows of Texas Stadium, Cowboys football flows in my blood. On Sunday's I live and die with every snap. And I, like many other die hard fans of the silver and blue, have been disappointed with the last decade in Dallas. Many people point the finger squarely at the eccentric ownership as the culprit. Jerry Jones is probably the most engaged owner in the NFL when it comes to personnel, coaching staff, and marketing one of sport's most recognized brands. He seems to have his tentacles in just about every aspect of his franchise. That makes him the perfect target for media and fans alike when things are going bad. So you think you can do better? With Madden NFL 25 by EA SPORTS, it's time to put your money where your mouth is with the all new Owner Mode in Connected Franchise. Here is the first 5 things I would do to get the Cowboys back on track and competing for titles in Madden NFL 25.
1. Fire Jerry Jones. His name is far too tainted in Big D to catch a fair shake from the fan base. I have very little interest in trying to extend the man's legacy and substantiate his methods. If I am going to be held accountable for the success or failure of this team, I am going to do it under my own name. Besides, he's already cemented his place in the ring of honor, it's time to start my own journey to Cowboys excellence.
2. Address the interior offensive line. Previous ownership has been all about sizzle on draft day and forgotten that the steak is what brings home the hardware. It all starts up front in the NFL and the Cowboys are woeful in the trenches. Drafting Travis Frederick might have been a reach, but we must work with what we have so I recommend purchasing the Center progression package as soon as you possibly can. His development is crucial to the interior running game and being a rookie, it's the perfect time to invest in his future.
3. Trade the rookie TE Gavin Escobar. I did not understand this pick on draft day in the first place. With the young, speedy TE James Hannah progressing well at the end of last season, you should have a serviceable, young 2nd option behind the aging, but very capable Jason Witten. Use this draft day mistake to leverage more help on the offensive line. Look for a solid young interior lineman to replace Bernardeau or Arkin. You could potentially evaluate a young Right Tackle to replace Doug Free, but with his contract restructured, he is much more of a viable option out there for the first couple of seasons during your CFM.
4. Upgrade the safety position. With the retirement of Gerald Sensabaugh, you will need to add some veteran leadership back there to pair with the young hard hitting Barry Church. You will need to scour the FA wire to help there until the next draft day. I would utilize an early pick in the 2014 draft, perhaps a 2nd rounder, to bolster that position for years to come. With a solid front seven, opponents will most likely target your secondary as the weakest part of your defense and attempt to exploit that in the passing game unless you make some moves here.
5. Move back to the 3-4 defense. The Cowboys have the best LB core in Madden, in my opinion, if you stick with last year's formation. Ware, Spencer, Carter and Lee will be a force to reckon with and present all sorts of problems for an offense because of the speed they possess. With Ratliff, Hatcher and Crawford (or Wilbur potentially) you have a serviceable defensive line for a season, but you will need to address strength up front at some point if you want to get the most out of your LB core.
So there it is. Your roadmap to putting your stamp on America's team and reviving the glory days in Big D.

Walking and eating in Venice Italy
My favorite thing is Venice's personality. One of the best features is that there are no cars! Both the tourists and the numerous dogs have no fear of being hit by a motorized vehicle or even a bicycle, being bombarded by noise from cars, or having to wait for lights when crossing streets. And you quickly get used to the peace and quiet after dark - the loudest noises come from the church bells several times a day and the footfalls of people walking to the commercial areas or vaporetto (boat buses) stops. Walking is a real pleasure - just try to avoid the busiest areas during peak tourist season (June - October) and times of day (after 9AM and up to 9PM. Feel free to explore all the narrow calles (alleyways) and many campos (squares) and find lovely little restaurants the locals frequent, historic architecture, resident families being themselves (kids are kids everywhere, except in Venice they are polite) and even to get lost as many streets dead-end at canals and there is often no direct route to where you are headed. Get a good map at your hotel or at a kiosk, and let the fun begin. Locals will help you if you are unsure or lost, but half the fun is just exploring. The streets are very safe, certainly in most of the city (I can't speak for the Giudecca as I didn't go there after reading that it's reputation is checkered). Crime against people is almost non-existent - just be as prudent as you would be in touring in any urban area in the US or abroad, and keep your money and passport in a slim money belt under your shirt at all times when outdoors. I personally never carry a pocketbook when traveling - just a tote bag for water and maps and my lipstick. If you take an expensive camera, try to keep it hung on your neck so you don't lay it down and forget it somewhere. Everything else can be left at the hotel locked in your suitcase. If you like to shop, there is every kind of store from expensive Italian and French designer clothes and jewelry to local family-run shops to African street sellers. Buy the museum package tickets to save a little money and time. Expect crowds everywhere, so minimize the inconvenience by starting your day early (e.g., 8-8:30AM) as many museums open by 9AM (check your guide book for each place, as well as for which ones are closed on which days). Don't embarrass your countrymen by 1) throwing food wrappers on streets or bringing food into museums or stores, 2) talking too loud and disturbing the locals, or 3) wearing inappropriate clothing such as shorts and tank tops (in churches, you'll either be refused admittance or asked to pay for a shawl to cover your shoulders; in restaurants Venetians, like most Europeans, dress up rather than down when eating out and walking around the city, so blend in and you'll be welcomed everywhere.) Everything! The way the rising and setting sun makes the buildings look gold and pink, the aqua color of the laguna and Grande Canal on sunny days and the sound of water lapping everywhere, the wide variety of places to eat from the smallest neighborhood pizza shop to the 5-star restaurants (most places are around 3-star and not overly expensive. Do what we did and have breakfast in your hotel if it's included free, and either skip lunch or get a cheap sandwich or pizza, then splurge a little on dinner. Many places have a price fixe dinner that is well worth it, and the wine is great and inexpensive for 1/2 liter). Venice's museums are numerous and other buildings are historic and fascinating as well - just the idea that most were several hundred years old left us weak-kneed. The churches are lovely (some with high bell towers from which you can see for miles). the public gardens are nice - the Giardini stop [after the Arsenale] on the vaporetto brings you not only to the gardens but to other neighborhoods with more restaurants and other sites to see. If you can, spend more than a day or two and get to know the city. We spent 5 days and didn't regret it. I would definitely go back there.

Far Cry 3 Performance Test: Graphics & CPU
Ultra Quality Preset
Running Far Cry 3 at 1680x1050 with the highest possible in-game quality settings activated alongside 4xMSAA, the GTX 680 managed only 59fps while the HD 7970 GHz Edition offered just 54fps and the standard HD 7970 averaged 52fps. The HD 7950 Boost came out 2fps ahead of the GTX 660 Ti with 49fps, while the standard 7950 averaged 43fps, a notch ahead of the GTX 660, which is the slowest card we'd bother using to play with these settings.
At 1920x1200, the GTX 680 drops 10fps to an average of 49fps, while the HD 7970 GHz Edition managed even less and the GTX 660 Ti and HD 7950 dipped below 40fps.
If you plan to play Far Cry 3 with its highest quality settings at a resolution such as 2560x1600, you'll definitely want an upper-end multi-GPU configuration, as a single GTX 680 only rendered 31fps while the HD 7970GHz Edition offered a meager 29fps.

Because the state of north carolina requires this information to charge you taxes on your animals. We do pay taxes on cats and dogs in this state.
There are many free rabies shot drives throughout the state each year. No excuse to not have your pets vaccinated. As to the photo ID, soon we will need it to vote, thank God! Every other state I lived in and the military bases required a current photo ID with address on it to be able to vote. Why is this not the law everywhere? Get your rabies shots and vote.
Why is photo ID needed to vaccinate your pets but not to vote? Glad Mom Dad and baby are ok and fox will not get to hurt anyone else.

Man killed in SW Wash. logging accident
May 20, 2013 @ 4:30 pm
COUGAR, Wash. (AP) - The Cowlitz County sheriff's office says a Rochester man has been killed in a southwest Washington logging accident.
Spokesman Charlie Rosenzweig said 28-year-old Kyle Schlesser was killed instantly Monday when he was struck by a tree felled by his logging partner, Owen Fickett.
The sheriff's office says that a tree cut down by Fickett hit a second tree that in turn fell and struck Schlesser. Fickett says he called out to Schlesser before cutting the first tree to make sure his partner knew what he was doing. Schlesser was in the area cutting down another tree.
Rosenzweig says it appears the death near Cougar, Wash., was a tragic accident.
The victim was the son of business owner James Schlesser and had nine years of logging experience. Fickett told sheriff's officers he's been logging 23 years without ever causing an injury.

Krissy aiming to crack Kilimanjaro
Posted: August 16, 2013
|By isaac crowson
A SUPPORT worker from Derby is taking on two gruelling challenges to raise money for a charity that is close to her heart.
Krissy Walker will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in October for Child Reach International. She expects it will take her 11 days.
And on August 31, she is walking 22 miles across Derby while carrying the weight of a child in her rucksack.
The 27-year-old, who has had the Kilimanjaro challenge planned for over a year, said: "I'm more excited about them both rather than feeling nervous.
"It's going to be a huge thing to do and will take great effort but I know it will have many more benefits afterwards.
"I wanted to do the Derby walking challenge because it represents the long distances that people in Africa have to walk to get water.
"Sometimes this can be over four miles and by doing this I will have the idea of carrying a child towards a better future, something we take for granted."
Child Reach International aims to improve children's access to health and education and restore their rights.
It works in India, Morocco, Nepal, Tanzania and the UK.
Krissy, who lives in Derby city centre, believes her work as a care worker at Alderwasley School has given her more inspiration.
She said: "I have a real passion for young people and really enjoy my time at the school, so it was a great chance to put something back.
"The staff at the school have donated towards it and it's lovely to have their support.
"They're all so encouraging and I just want to do a good job for them now."
This is Krissy's first big charity event and she has taken inspiration from donating to previous ones.
She said: "I'm always giving to other events for people so I thought I might as well try to do something on my own.
"Don Amott, Cottage Garden Florists in Willington and LH Profession Hair have all helped me out and that's great."
Krissy has so far raised £757 and aims to reach a total of £2,400 with the help of a number of donations.
You can donate to Krissy's challenge at website www. mydonate.bt.comfundraiser. kristinawalker2

Sellotape "12 days of Christmas" by Brothers and Sisters
Rating: 5.0
By CLAIRE BEALE, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 19 June 1998 12:00AM
Digital television will not be the dramatic revolution predicted by
pundits, and just 1 per cent of UK homes will be capable of receiving
digital TV by the end of this year, according to the first digital
forecasts from Zenith Media.
Zenith predicts that just 245,000 households will have either digital
terrestrial, digital satellite or digital cable by the end of this year,
rising to 1.6 million by 1999 and 2.9 million by 2000.
Digital television is expected to be available in more than 30 per cent
of homes by 2005, and Zenith expects the analogue signal to be switched
off in 2013.
Against this, Zenith predicts a tailing off in adspend as a percentage
of gross domestic product, from 1.47 per cent last year to 1.39 per cent
by 2005. However, TV's share of ad budgets is expected to rise by
Of the different digital platforms, Zenith's 'UK Television Forecasts to
2005' says digital terrestrial will face a harder struggle to get
established than cable or satellite.
The possibility of greater interactivity via cable TV delivery could
give digital cable an advantage over dish and digital terrestrial.
Zenith forecasts that cable homes will overtake dish homes in 2002.
Although the digital terrestrial consortium, British Digital
Broadcasting, believes it will break even with just under two million
homes, Zenith comments: 'We don't think it will get there on its current
programme line-up.'
According to Zenith's head of publications, Adam Smith, BDB's main
problems will be coverage, consumer resistance and price. 'BDB's basic
package is cheap,' Smith said. 'But few will want basic alone and a
pay-TV price war is quite feasible.'
Zenith's caution comes amid a row between ITV and BSkyB over carriage of
ITV on Sky's digital satellite package. Sky has hit out at ITV's refusal
to sign up its programming for digital satellite, but ITV has warned
that Sky is trying to 'dominate' the future of digital television.

Samantha Prosser keeps guard of third base during the Lady Eagles' double header against Lassen last Friday. The Eagles beat the Cougars by one run in both games. Photo by Maddie Musante |
The Feather River College softball team went on the road last weekend for two doubleheaders. On Friday, March 22, the Eagles faced off against Lassen, winning the first game 7-6 and the second game 9-8. The following day Feather River lost both games to Shasta College 6-5 after being up the majority of the game. The outcomes put FRC at 7-3 in conference.
Feather River's wins over Lassen were due in large part to the team's pitching. Brittany Klapper closed both games to save the team. The Eagles' assistant coach, Heather Kelley, attributes the teams' wins to a full team effort.
"We played very well," said Kelley. "We had a few errors, but nothing too crucial. Our offense was there and our pitching was really good. It was a group effort all around."
In the first game, Julianna Waller hit a two-run home run to give Feather River the lead and win the game.
In their games against Shasta, the Eagles had a lead through the fifth inning in both games. Shasta came back to win by a single run both times.
"They were a really good team," commented Kelley about Shasta. "They did all the little things right and we had a few shaky errors on defense that killed us. When they come to Quincy, though, it's going to be a different ball game."
Shasta is leading the Golden Valley Conference with a 10-0 record in conference play. The Eagles are second.
Feather River plays at Butte March 27 and at the Redwoods April 5. The team's next home game is against Lassen on April 13.

An IPO is an Initial Public Offering. This is the initial sale of stock to the public from private investors and holders of the company. There are several reasons why a company would issue stock to the public. Publicly traded stock allows the company to offer shares in mergers and acquisitions, easing the mechanism in purchasing other companies and lowering the cost. Publicly traded stock also allows the company to offer incentives to employees, by giving shares of stock. The greater exposure and publicity also help retain and attract talented employees and management. The value of a company is also higher compared to when it's private. This is because increased levels of liquidity and transparency are more attractive to investors, who will allocate a higher multiple for the company's value. The biggest downfall to a company issuing stock to the public is greater scrutiny from investors, as all financial records are made public. This comes in the form of an increase in legal and marketing costs, plus time spent with analysts and other investors explaining the inner workings of the company.
Proactive Approach Is Key to Investing in This Stock Market
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Imagine letting a losing trade run, and before you even realize it, the position is down 20%, 30%, or more. Your $10.00 stock declined 30% to $7.00; you decide to hold the position, hoping for a rebound, but deep down you know the stock would need to rally more than 40% just for you to break even. Clearly, it's not easy when a stock falls to greater depths.
But that's why you should take the opportunity to dump losers when the stock market rallies, as is the case at this time. Avoiding a loss is just as good as making profits.
As many of you know, I believe the stock market is vulnerable to some selling and a stock market correction, based on my technical analysis of the charts. The S&P 500 is fighting resistance to advance higher, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while setting anther record-high on Monday, continues to show the potential of a stock market correction of at least six percent.
Think about how the stock market has moved to these levels. The easy money policy pushed by the Federal Reserve has been a key driving force behind this four-year run-up. But now, with the Fed expected to begin tapering in December or early 2014, the focus will shift to the economy and corporate revenue growth—which aren't so stellar. In fact, in both cases, they're flat.
Even the surge in the initial public offering (IPO) market is a red flag in my view. When I see an IPO double on its first day, it reminds me of the euphoria that I witnessed in late 1999, … Read More
What It Would Take for Me to Consider Buying Twitter
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
If you chased and purchased Twitter, Inc. (NYSE/TWTR) at $50.09 on the first day of its initial public offering (IPO), you would already be looking at a paper loss of 15.5% after the company's stock price fell to $42.32 on Friday morning. For those who chased the stock price of Twitter higher—it was the wrong move.
Twitter was initially priced at $17.00 to $20.00 and was raised when demand became euphoric. Even at $50.00, the company's stock price was already nearly three times the initial lower range, which is astounding. (Read "2013 IPO Frenzy an Omen for the Stock Market?")
But just like Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ/FB), Twitter's stock price could inevitably head much lower after all of the initial excitement fades and investors realize the company needs to make money.
I wouldn't be a buyer now at the current stock price; I still wouldn't be buying the company at $40.00. A decline in the stock price to the mid-$30.00 range may strike my interest, but again, I would likely want to wait until the company's stock price fell to $30.00 or below before even considering the social media stock. At $20.00, I would seriously look at picking up some shares of Twitter. Some of you may not believe Twitter will sink that much, but just look at what happened to Facebook and Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ/GRPN) following their strong debuts.
With social media stocks, it comes down to eyeballs—the more, the better. Facebook has about one billion users, so it is intriguing to investors. The company is working hard to monetize its user base … Read More
How Investors Can Profit from These Frightful Valuations
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
These are some scary times for holders and chasers of some of the high-volume brand-name momentum stocks, especially in the Internet services area. (Just in time for Halloween…)
While I always like to trade and follow the trend, I'm concerned with some of the superlative moves in the stock market and the resulting excessive and non-realistic valuations in the Internet area.
While I don't want to wreck the celebratory mood on Wall Street, I highly recommend investors take a step back and really look at some of the euphoric buying we have been seeing specifically with the Internet stocks. It reminds me a bit of what happened in late 1999 and early 2000, prior to the market implosion.
We are clearly witnessing some unjustified buying in Internet stocks as overzealous traders seek profits. The problem is that the pro traders generally are a step ahead and know when to exit.
You don't want to be caught in a massive stampede to the exits. I'm not saying it will materialize, but it's something you have to keep in mind.
In my previous article, I discussed the upcoming initial public offering (IPO) for Twitter as it begins its road show this week, drumming up business for what will likely be its overpriced IPO and the frenzy to follow. (Read "How Small Investors Can Still Get a Piece of Twitter.")
The current valuations I'm seeing with numerous Internet stocks in the social media space is outlandish and would make Warren Buffett shake his head. Buffett may admit to not understanding technology and the Internet, but he clearly knows a … Read More
How Small Investors Can Still Get a Piece of Twitter
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Twitter Inc. is the most highly anticipated company to debut its initial public offering (IPO) this year as it sells its story to the big institutional investors who are clamoring to buy shares. Of course, there will likely not be a lot of selling needed for its IPO, as the company will garnish immense interest.
Sorry, dear reader, but we are out of luck, yet again. A popular IPO such as Twitter is never offered to small investors. You have to have major bucks and clout with Wall Street to get in on the deal. The way popular IPOs are sold was supposed to change with opportunities given to the small investor, but it hasn't; so once again, we are shut out as the rich get richer.
You can probably indirectly get a piece of Twitter at the IPO price via investing in funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that will buy into Twitter at its IPO price. The funds buying will eventually become clearer, but a possible ETF is the Global X Social Media Index ETF (NYSEArca/SOCL), which invests in brand-name social media stocks from around the world.
Based on what we have seen so far this year, technology IPOs are hot and you can expect Twitter to likely double up on its first day from its expected subscribed IPO price of between $17.00 and $20.00 sometime in early to mid-November.
For the average investor, the hope will be that Twitter copies Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ/FB) in its first day of trading, but I doubt that. (Read "The Plentiful Opportunities I Still See in the … Read More
A Dire Warning for Stock Market Investors A stock market crash bigger than what happened in 2008 and early 2009 is headed our way. In fact, we are predicting this crash will be even more devastating than the 1929 crash… …the ramifications of which will hit the economy and Americans deeper than anything we've ever seen. Our 27-year-old research firm feels so strongly about this, we've just produced a video to warn investors called, "A Dire Warning for Stock Market Investors." In case you are not familiar with our research work on the stock market: In late 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, we told our clients to buy small-cap stocks. They rose about 100% after we made that call. We were one of the first major advisors to turn bullish on gold. Throughout 2002, we urged our readers to buy gold stocks; many of which doubled and even tripled in price. In November of 2007, we started begging our customers to get out of the stock market. Shortly afterwards, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for stocks. We correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And in March of 2009, we started telling our readers to jump into small caps. The Russell 2000 gained about 175% from when we made that call in 2009 to today. Many investors will find our next prediction hard to believe until they see all the proof we have to back it up. Even if you don't own stocks, what's about to happen will affect you! I urge you to be among the first to get our next major
prediction. |
