Your vacation sounds wonderful! Here's what's on the menu plan at our house (we've headed back to school . . . but we're not quite ready to be back!)
August 08, 2011 at 10:58 pm
I love those collaborative family dinners!
Our kids are spending some time away at "Cousins' Camp" so hubby and I are making the most of a few rare date nights. I'm amazed at how little we can spend dining out when it's just the two of us! No wonder we used to eat out all the time!
August 08, 2011 at 11:34 pm
Ohhhh where in arkansas??? I live near Branson Missouri =] Hope you are having fun and staying cool =]
August 08, 2011 at 11:37 pm
Your pictures are so cute! Have fun on your vacation!
My husband is gone this week and I don't like to cook much when he's away. My menu is pretty simple based on food from my garden – and I'm keeping it mostly meatless until my husband comes back on Friday.
Wish I could just feed my kids cereal and popcorn and not cook at all…but I guess that's not very responsible of me! Here's my link: http://www.simplifylivelove.com/2011/08/aug-menu-part-2.html

My boys just returned from their summer week of fun at Grandma and Grandpa's. That means I need to menu plan again this week…I took last week off since they weren't home. Enjoy your vacation!
August 09, 2011 at 07:55 am
Sounds like fun! I hope you are having a blast! We just got back from our friends lake house last week. Generally, I enjoying cooking but when I'm on vacation, I really like to keep it simple. I also raided our pantry and here are some of dinners we did.
Frozen pizzas with salad. We stopped at a produce stand on the way and got some really yummy tomatoes to go on it
Raviolli and salads
pasta salad, grilled burgers and hotdogs, and another side. I think it may have been baked beans or gr beans.
Ham steaks from walmart, Simply mash potatoes and a frozen veggie
One night the adults just ate chips and salsa with margeritas and the kids had boxed mac and cheese. What can I say, I like it simple! Good luck!
August 09, 2011 at 08:10 am
We're super busy here with VBS at church (I'm directing!):
August 09, 2011 at 08:35 am
Our menu this week is below. I have already deviated from it, as dinner tonight isn't going to be enchilada casserole, but the rest of the week should be close.
August 09, 2011 at 08:39 am
Our farmers' market is in full summertime swing, so I based my meal plan around that. (With shopping tips!)
August 09, 2011 at 09:08 am
Your vacation sounds like so much fun! Enjoy! We went to Virginia one week and Pa another for vacation…visiting both sides of the family! Loved it!
I must say that I haven't been making a menu list but here are two recipes that I tried out for the first time: http://simplylivingmommie.blogspot.com/2011/08/testing-out-some-recipes.html
I am trying to be creative with what we have in our pantry. Trying to make new things so my husband and I do not get bored. That can lead to us going out to eat and that really is not an option. Our budget for the month is to stay under $150 for the 2 of us and our 1 year old daughter. So far we have spent less than $35 on essentials. I LOVE Aldi!
August 09, 2011 at 09:19 am

We always pitch in and cook together when we vacation with extended family. Most nights we grill out–cheap and easy (and the guys are in charge of the grilling…an extra plus).

August 09, 2011 at 08:24 pm
We were at Silver Dollar City this weekend and a little girl there looked very similar to Kaitlyn. It then made me wonder if it was time for your annual AR vacation and if it might be you guys. I then saw her go to a parent and it wasn't, but I got excited for a moment that I might get to meet your family in person. Have fun on your vacation!

The book of Amos is made up of three parts. In the first part, which includes the first two chapters, there is a general title of the work along with the name of the author and the general date of his ministry. Also as explained in the Catholic Encyclopedia, "The first two chapters are made up of a series of oracles against, Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah, and finally Israel."(Cath Ency 435). In the words of the Catholic Biblical Encyclopedia (note that the Catholic Biblical Encyclopedia, and the Catholic Encyclopedia are different works), this meant that in these chapters God declares that the first six nations listed will be punished for their wickedness, and Israel will be driven into exile because of it's immortality, luxury and idolatry. (p. 62)
In the second part of Amos comes the judgment and sentence upon Israel.
Finally in the third section come the five visions of the future judgment.
Below I will give you a background of Amos and then go into the book itself and explain its happenings. I will wrap the paper up by bringing Amos' views to our time today and reflect on how he and God would feel.
Amos was a herdsman in a small village in the Southern Kingdom called Thecua, 12 miles from Jerusalem. (Cath Ency 434) Along with his title of herdsman Amos was also known to be a simple dresser of sycamore trees. Amos lived in the time range of 700-800 b.c. (www.bibletutor.com)
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "Amos was not a wealthy man, Thecua was apparently a shepard's town, and it was while following his flock in the wilderness of Judah, that, in the reign

For years demons have roamed the earth under the guise of being human. It is only now that they have finally come clean about their existence, now they try to integrate with the humans as much as possible. Although all seems peaceful there is still conflict between humans and demons, prejudice towards both races. There are some demons who will stop at nothing to be able to rule again, believing they are superior to the humans.
Many humans have become accustomed to the demons, addicted by what they have to offer in return for having their blood fed off of and sometimes even their souls.
Humans: Your basic life forms that have roamed planet Earth for centuries and have made it their own, slowly pushing the demons to the side.
When the demons were first discovered, the humans learnt about their thirst for power and slowly beat the demons down to size with relentless prejudice and even violence. Others sided with the demons intrigued and curious about the seemingly otherworldly beings, they became their
As the time has passed, humans have finally learnt to live along side the demons almost peacefully, but the prejudice still exists in some stronger than before.
Demons: Your more advanced life forms with supernatural speed and strength which makes them a cut above the rest.
Living in secret well before humans plagued the earth, the demons thrived and managed to live in peace for once in their lives.
When they were finally discovered by the humans, so were their weaknesses: Holy Water, Belladonna and a new poison that was soon developed to use against the 'noisy' ones that decided to speak out and change what their world had become.
When they were finally somewhat accepted and integrated with the humans, some agreed and went on living peaceful lives but others continued to rebel and refuse to back down until hell was unleashed on earth.

Every Thursday night galleries from Soho to Chelsea open their doors with latest works of the artiste du jour.

Another gem from NYIGF. Hipster-ish distributor Sweet Bella had these sweet bird calls on hand in their booth (along with a bevy of other Brooklyn-esque products). The bird calls are extremely accurate and were painstakingly developed over years by Monsieur Morel who has been making calls since he was a child in the mountains of southern France. The calls are slowly and conscientiously created from lasting materials such as boxwood, maple, beech, leather and brass, and according to Morel, learning "to recognize birds by their song, to communicate with them, to discover, observe and love them – this is 'without doubt a first step in understanding the secret of happiness.'"

Scrutiny of Corporate Monitors Is on the RiseThe National Law Journal 2008-03-31 00:00:00.0 During the past five years, independent corporate monitors have become almost commonplace. After the 2002 indictment of Arthur Andersen precipitated the accounting firm's demise, the deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) and similar out-of-court resolutions short of indictment became a frequent means of resolving allegations of criminality by a business organization. In 2007 alone, the federal government entered into at least 35 DPAs and similar pretrial agreements. See Lawrence D. Finder & Ryan D. McConnell, Annual Corporate Pre-Trial Agreement Update -- 2007, 22nd National Institute on White Collar Crime (March 2008). An important component of many such agreements was the appointment of a monitor to oversee a company's commitment to overhaul deficient controls, procedures and culture. Amid this growth, monitorships drew relatively little attention. But the new year has brought a wave of scrutiny that seems destined to reverberate in 2008 and beyond. Legislation has been introduced to address DPAs and the role of monitors. In at least one criminal case, victims of a convicted company have asked the sentencing court to impose a monitor even though the written plea agreement did not call for one. And the U.S. Department of Justice recently conducted its own internal review and issued guidelines governing monitorships. This article will review these recent developments. Congressional attention to monitorships began in January, when the press reported on a deferred prosecution agreement under which the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey had appointed former Attorney General John Ashcroft as a monitor for Zimmer Holdings Inc., a medical device company. Philip Shenon, "Ashcroft Deal Brings Scrutiny in Justice Dept.," N.Y. Times, Jan. 10, 2008, at A1; Carrie Johnson, "Ex-Officials Benefit from Corporate Cleanup," Wash. Post, Jan. 15, 2008, at A1. On March 11, Ashcroft responded to a House Judiciary subcommittee on commercial and administrative law that questioned him on DPAs generally and the Zimmer monitorship specifically. In his opening remarks, Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., noted the potential for department politicalization in the current monitor-selection process and pointed to the Zimmer monitorship selection as an example. Ashcroft, however, denied that there was a conflict or even an appearance of conflict from Christie's selection of his firm as the Zimmer monitor. See Philip Shenon, "Ashcroft Defends Contract that U.S. Steered to Him," N.Y. Times, March 12, 2008, at A20. On Jan. 16, in a joint letter to the comptroller general of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the chairmen of the Senate and House judiciary committees "request[ed] that you perform an inquiry into the use, award, and implementation of contracts since 2001 to outside lawyers and other professionals retained by companies for monitoring compliance with out-of-court settlement and deferred prosecution agreements reached in criminal investigations between companies and the Department [of Justice]." Letter of Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., to Comptroller General David M. Walker. Such a review is presumably under way, and the Government Accountability Office, known as the investigative arm of Congress, typically issues public findings in the form of a report or testimony. On Jan. 30, Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., introduced H.R. 5086, a bill that would impose new standards in the realm of DPAs and independent monitors. Section 1 of the bill would require the attorney general to issue guidelines as to when U.S. Attorneys should enter into a DPA. The bill specifies five factors that should be considered by prosecutors, including the potential harm that a DPA might cause to employees and shareholders; the degree of the company's cooperation in the course of the investigation; the company's remedial efforts; and the availability of criminal charges against individuals. It is of particular note that the bill singles out for consideration the costs to shareholders and employees associated with a DPA. Because the prospect of a corporate indictment is so damaging, the tendency is to view the alternative of a DPA as a display of leniency by the government under almost any circumstances. But there will surely be cases in which the high burdens of a DPA -- in terms of reputational damage, distraction from company business and, of course, the expense associated with a monitor -- will not be justified under all the circumstances even though prosecutors may enjoy the leverage to demand one by threatening indictment. COMPORTING WITH PUBLIC INTEREST Section 2 of the bill would require that a U.S. district judge or magistrate judge "review the terms of a deferred prosecution agreement to ensure that the agreement comports with public interest and all applicable laws and legal precedent before authorizing the deferred prosecution agreement to be entered into by the parties." This requirement would not likely alter current practice considerably, since most DPAs are now submitted for court approval. However, it is possible that this provision might provide nonparties who have an interest in the outcome to oppose terms of a DPA that might violate the public interest or violate the law. Section 3 of the bill deals with monitors specifically. The section would apparently make monitors mandatory for all DPAs by providing that "[a] Federal monitor shall oversee a deferred prosecution agreement." The bill provides that "a Federal monitor shall be appointed by an independent third party (a United States district court judge or a United States magistrate judge) from a pool of pre-qualified firms or individuals (or both)." Many DPAs already have provided for the judicial selection of a monitor from agreed-upon candidates, as the bill would mandate. However, under several DPAs (including the Zimmer example referenced above) the prosecution chose the monitor unilaterally. Finally, �4 of the bill would provide that "the district court where a deferred prosecution agreement was approved shall determine if the deferred prosecution agreement has been breached." This would mark a change from the terms of several DPAs, which expressly provided that it was for the prosecution to determine whether the corporation had complied with the terms of the DPA. The consequences of a breach are potentially catastrophic, because most DPAs allow prosecution of the corporation with the aid of a full admission by the corporation of criminal violations. It may turn out that this legislative proposal, rather than becoming law in some form or other, served more as a catalyst for the Department of Justice to issue its recent written guidance to U.S. Attorneys regarding DPAs and monitorships. Appearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 7, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said: "[T]he increasing phenomenon of monitors is something that we noticed well before there came to be publicity about it and [we] have been looking into it. We've asked the Attorney General's Advisory Committee, which is a group of United States attorneys from around the country who can gather information from United States attorneys about the prevalence of the phenomenon, and whether there is a way of coming up with best practices or guidelines." As a result, on March 7, acting Deputy Attorney General Craig Morford issued Department of Justice guidelines regarding the selection and use of independent monitors. With respect to selection of monitors, the guidelines provide that each U.S. Attorney's Office will create a standing committee to consider monitor candidates, and the government is forbidden to choose monitors unilaterally. The guidelines express a preference for consideration of a pool of at least three qualified candidates in any given case, and they require approval of a monitor by the office of the deputy attorney general. The guidelines stress the independence of a monitor, who must be free to consult with both the government and the corporation without acting as an agent or employee of either party. Moreover, prosecutors are instructed to obtain a commitment from the corporation that it will not hire or be affiliated with the monitor for at least one year from termination of the monitorship. The new guidelines further provide that "the monitor's responsibilities should be no broader than necessary to address and reduce the recurrence of the corporation's misconduct." In particular, "[t]he monitor's mandate is not to investigate historical misconduct." Finally, the guidelines set forth principles relating to the duration of a monitorship. The guidelines favor allowing the government discretion to extend the duration of a monitor's term when the corporation has failed to satisfy its obligations. Conversely, the guidelines say that in most cases an agreement should provide for early termination if the corporation can demonstrate that the need for a monitor has been eliminated by changed circumstances, such as a purchase of the corporation by an entity with an effective compliance program. As these developments unfolded in Washington, a corporate criminal prosecution in Houston provided a novel context for evaluating the appropriate judicial role in the appointment of an independent monitor. Late in 2007, BP Products North America Inc. entered into an agreement to plead guilty to a violation of the Clean Air Act arising from an explosion and fire at its Texas City, Texas, refinery. See U.S. v. BP Products North America Inc., No. 07-CR-434 (S.D. Texas Nov. 20, 2007). The terms of the plea agreement included a substantial fine, a period of probation during which the company would honor a separate agreement with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and continuing cooperation with the government inquiry. The plea agreement was executed pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(1)(C), which allows the court either to accept the sentence agreed upon by the parties in the plea agreement or to reject the plea proposal altogether. Some victims who were injured or lost relatives in the explosion filed an application in the Southern District of Texas seeking leave to intervene and oppose the acceptance of the plea agreement. The victims enumerated several objections, including the absence of any provision in the plea agreement allowing for the appointment of an independent monitor. They argued: "[T]he most obvious probationary safety measure that the court should consider is a Court-Appointed Environmental Monitor who would ensure that BP is truly complying with environmental laws. ... At the very least, the Court should reject the proposed Plea because it precludes the Court from even considering whether to undertake this reasonable measure to ensure that the Texas City Plant is safe." Victims' Joint Reply Memorandum in Opposition to Proposed Rule 11(c)(1)(C) Plea Agreement, at 4. The government contended that there was no authority for the court to impose a monitor. However, the victims cited the "open-ended" statutory authority to impose appropriate conditions of probation under 18 U.S.C. 3563(b), which provides in relevant part: "The court may provide, as further conditions of a sentence of probation to the extent such conditions are reasonably related to [statutory sentencing factors] . . . that the defendant ... satisfy such other conditions as the court may impose." Interestingly, the victims argued that the court was authorized under Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 to reject the plea agreement for "not being in the public interest" -- a "public interest" analysis similar to the standard for judicial approval of DPAs in the proposed legislation described above. The victims additionally argued for rejection of the plea agreement on the ground that the prosecution had failed to consult with them about the proposed plea agreement pursuant to the Crime Victims' Rights Act, 18 U.S.C. 3771. The victims cited Department of Justice regulations implementing the act, which provide: "Federal prosecutors should be available to consult with victims about major case decisions, such as dismissals, ... plea negotiations, and pretrial diversions." See U.S. Dept. of Justice, Attorney General Guidelines for Victim and Witness Assistance at 29 (May 2005). In short, the victims want a say in whether the public interest would be served by a court-appointed monitor, even though the government is not requesting one. As this article goes to print, the district court has rejected the Crime Victims' Rights Act claims, but has not yet addressed the victims' remaining attacks on the plea agreement, including the demand for a monitor. The victims have filed a mandamus petition in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for relief under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. Monitorships have become institutionalized as an important part of the process by which allegations of corporate criminal conduct are resolved. But the mechanics of the monitoring function are being scrutinized from new perspectives that at once emphasize the costs of having a monitor and the costs of failing to have one. Only one thing is reasonably certain: The role of the independent corporate monitor will continue to evolve in light of enhanced scrutiny. Christopher J.

Sitting Down with Coach Leoni
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - After narrowly missing a berth to the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament last spring, the William and Mary baseball team returns a wealth of talent this year and is eager to challenge for the conference title in 2012. Led by seventh-year head coach Frank Leoni, as well as tri-captains Sean Aiken, Ryan Brown and Chris Forsten, the talented and experienced squad looks poised to reach its postseason goals. With the start of the season less than a week away, TribeAthletics.com recently sat down with Leoni and discussed the upcoming campaign.
Direction Heading into the 2012 Campaign
What are the goals for Tribe baseball in 2012?
Coach Leoni: "Our goals remain simple. Make the CAA playoffs, try to win at least 30 games and win the CAA championship."
Compared to last season where do you expect the biggest improvement to come from?
Coach Leoni: "I think we'll be a much more effective offensive team. We did not do enough to adapt to the changes in the bats last year. Also, we have a considerable amount of experience returning in our line-up, which I think will provide improvement."
What kind of identity do you anticipate this 2012 squad to have?
Coach Leoni: "This year's edition will be "team first" all the way. I believe we'll be tougher when it matters most."
Who are you expecting big things from this season?
Coach Leoni: "I never like to single out players. That said, I believe our pitching will continue to lead the way. We're more athletic this year, and as I've mentioned previously, our offense should be more productive."
Chemistry is an integral part of any team; describe how important chemistry is in college baseball.
Coach Leoni: "Chemistry is very important in baseball, especially since there is more downtime than in other sports. Our team chemistry has been outstanding so far."
Who will the Tribe rely on for leadership this season?
Coach Leoni: "We have nine seniors and 10 juniors. Many have played a lot for us over their time here. They are all doing a great job of keeping our team focused on what's important. The leadership on this team has improved considerably."
Pitching Outlook
Junior hurler Brett Koehler headlines a Tribe pitching staff that ranked near the top of the CAA last season in every major statistical category. The 2012 Preseason All-CAA selection dominated the competition last spring, posting an overall ERA of 2.73 and a league ERA of 1.25. After moving to the bullpen in the early part of last year, Koehler tallied eight saves, which was good for third in the CAA. Junior Matt Wainman, fresh off of a solid sophomore campaign brings depth and quality to the rotation. The southpaw started 10 games last season, posting a 5-3 record with a 4.06 ERA. Rounding out the returning experience is senior right-hander Matt Davenport, who made 18 starts in 2011, striking out 60 batters in only 68 innings pitched. Talented freshmen - Matt Houston and J.T. Castner - look to be in the mix, by adding quality depth to the staff.
Pitching Q&A:
Last year's pitching staff ranked among the CAA's best. What is the 2012 outlook for the pitching staff?
Coach Leoni: "The staff is solid once again. Replacing Logan Billbrough's contribution from a year ago will be difficult, but we have added some exciting new talent here, and there are others ready to step up to fill the void."
Offensive Outlook
At the plate senior slugger Tadd Bower leads the College. Last season, Bower drove in a team- best 40 runs, while homering five times and tallying nine stolen bases. At one point last season, the Chesterfield, Va., native reached base in 38 straight games. Junior outfielder Ryan Brown adds to the Green and Gold firepower. Last spring, Brown started all 55 games and posted a .292 batting average. The speedy Brown led W&M with 15 stolen bases during the 2011 campaign, while his .445 on-base percentage was good for 10th in the CAA. Sophomore Ryan Lindemuth looks to keep the momentum rolling after a stellar freshman year. As a freshman last spring, Lindemuth appeared in all 55 contests, earning 54 starts.
Offense Q&A:
Offensively, what kind of potential exists?
Coach Leoni: "We have the potential to be a more consistent offense. The addition of Coach Miller has helped us change our mindset at the plate. The hitters have bought into being complete offensive players and I believe we'll take better advantage of opportunities as they present themselves."
Defensive Outlook
Defensively, the Tribe returns a core group that finished second in the CAA in fielding last spring, posting a team-fielding percentage of .967. Pacing the Green and Gold vacuum is junior outfielder Ryan Brown. Named a team captain for the 2012 season, Brown roams the gaps for W&M, and last season notched a .985 fielding percentage. Senior catcher Chris Forsten has been a mainstay behind the plate for the Tribe during his career. Named a captain for the third consecutive spring, the College will rely on Forsten for his solid defense and leadership abilities. Last season, 23 baserunners were caught stealing by Forsten, which ranked the senior leader third in the CAA.
Strong fielding and a solid bullpen can win a lot of games. How do you envision these two components being this season?
Coach Leoni: "As I mentioned, we're more athletic this year, which I believe will translate into an improved defensive effort as well. We've made some changes to the middle of our infield, which I know will be positive in the long run. We have a host of players who should anchor another strong bullpen. Games are won and lost in the bullpen, so we feel we're going to be in good shape."
The Schedule
Headlining the non-conference portion of the 2012 slate are match-ups with 2011 College World Series participants Florida and Virginia. William and Mary opens the season on Friday, Feb. 17, as it welcomes the Rhode Island Rams to Plumeri Park, for a three-game series. On Feb. 21, the College will travel to Virginia for a mid-week game against the Cavaliers. Three days later on Friday, Feb.24, W&M treks down to Gainesville for a weekend series against the Gators. Rounding out the mid-week non-conference schedule are contests against VMI, NYIT, Quinnipiac, Norfolk State, Richmond, Maryland-Eastern Shore, Longwood, East Carolina and George Washington.
Colonial Athletic Association play begins for the College on Friday, March 9, as the Northeastern Huskies travel to Williamsburg for a weekend affair. Other league members making the trip to Williamsburg include: Towson, Delaware, Old Dominion and UNCW. Conference road trips are comprised of visits to: James Madison, George Mason, Georgia State, VCU and Hofstra.
Schedule Q&A:
The early season schedule consists of 2011 College World Series participants Florida and Virginia. In past seasons, the College has played national powers Oklahoma and LSU. How do playing these teams prepare the Tribe for the remainder of the season?
Coach Leoni: "Matching up against the best of the best prepares your team for conference play. There should not be much that we haven't encountered once we get to CAA play. We'll truly know our strengths and weaknesses, and what we'll need to do to improve."
The Tribe's season gets underway Friday, Feb. 17, against the Rhode Island Rams. First pitch from Plumeri Park is slated for 4 p.m. Fans can follow all of the action online at TribeAthletics.com with live audio and stats.

Boise, Idaho, September 25, 2006 – Memory performance is becoming increasingly critical for a wide range of applications including PC gaming, servers, super computing and high-definition television (HDTV). All of these applications process a large amount of data that needs to be accessed quickly and efficiently. To enable the next level of memory performance for these applications, Micron Technology, Inc., is introducing today a 1 gigabit (Gb) double data rate (DDR)3 device that provides these key applications with faster speed, lower power and increased memory density. "We are excited to introduce the world's first 1Gb DDR3 components," said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron's memory group. "Micron's strength in advanced DRAM technology has given us the industry leading position in high density memory solutions." Micron's DDR3 products will support data rates of 800 megatransfers per second (MT/s) to 1,600 MT/s with clock frequencies of 400 megahertz (MHz) to 800 MHz respectively, doubling the speed from DDR2. At DDR3's top speed, a 100,000-page document can be transferred in approximately one second. The DDR3 supply voltage has been reduced from 1.8V to 1.5V, reducing power consumption by up to 30 percent; the device is manufactured on Micron's 78nm process technology. These DDR3 benefits will help enable the next level of performance in a wide array of computing devices. "Early 2007 should bring memory thirsty computing and consumer applications, such as Microsoft's anticipated Vista operating system. DDR3 will initially benefit the server, notebook, and desktop markets and will then reach consumer applications such as graphics and HDTVs," said Shane Rau, senior analyst of IDC, a market intelligence firm. Evaluation samples of Micron's leading-edge 1Gb DDR3 components are available to select customers with production expected to begin early next year. Micron's 1Gb DDR3 components will be available in various output configurations (x4, x8 and x16), and will be fully compliant to the most recent JEDEC DDR3 specifications (JEDEC is the leading developer of standards for the semiconductor industry). These components will support module densities from 512 megabytes (MB) through 4 gigabytes (GB) and a variety of module types including FBDIMMs, UDIMMs, SODIMMs, and RDIMMs. A 2Gb DDR3 device is also expected to be available from Micron early next year, helping to enable even higher density applications. Micron Technology, Inc., is one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions. Through its worldwide operations, Micron manufactures and markets DRAM, NAND flash memory, CMOS image sensors, other semiconductor components, and memory modules for use in leading-edge computing, consumer, networking, and mobile products. Micron's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the MU symbol. To learn more about Micron Technology, Inc., visit www.micron.com.

"A 2Gb DDR3 device is also expected to be available from Micron early next year" just intime to lure us to build new rigs for DX10...sweet
Sorry to do any bubble-bursting but Gb = gigabit as in referring to the FBGA chips, not the full memory dimms. It will likely be at the earliest 3rd quarter next year before we see availability of DDR3 platforms.
2Gbit = 256MB -> double sided dimm w/ 16 chips * 256MB = 4096MB = 4GB / dimm I think there's no reason for anyone's bubble to burst.
Hey Steevo, thanks mate. Largon, samsung have had ddr3 for several months now, intel have had it for longer, and I still don't see any modules (granted, there are no boards yet). The demand won't pick up until mid 2007 at the earliest, look at the transition from DDR to DDR2, was there much non-DDR SDRAM around when DDR2 was introduced? Not in the enthusiast sector, not at all. The market doesn't change that rapidly.

Cliff Burton
Cliff Burton
Although Metallica would become a '90s heavy metal phenomenon (due largely in part to their multi-million selling self-titled release from 1991), the band's major force early on was undeniably their late-bassist Cliff Burton. Burton had a major say in Metallica's music, look, and direction, which was an unglamorous slap in the face against glam metal (ripped jeans, shirts of their fave bands, long unkempt hair, etc.) with absolutely no interest in videos or the mainstream. After Burton's untimely death in 1986, Metallica enjoyed their biggest success, but wound up going completely against what they originally stood for. Burton was born on February 10, 1962, in Castro Valley, CA, and took up bass as a teenager. Influenced mainly by '70s heavy metal (Black Sabbath, Blue �yster Cult, Rush, Thin Lizzy, etc.), Burton retained his retro "bell-bottom jeans" look well into the fashion conscious '80s, making him a true original. His playing style was unmistakable as well; he played a lead-style on bass that was often drenched with distortion. Guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich realized this when they caught Burton playing L.A. with his band Trauma and they immediately asked Burton to join their new band, Metallica. Burton accepted on only one condition: that they move to San Francisco. The members agreed and Metallica was on their way. While the majority of "metal" bands of the era were wearing makeup and spandex, singing about partying, and playing nothing more than hard-edged pop, Metallica went completely against the grain. Their music owed a lot to the British metal bands of the early '80s (Iron Maiden, Mot�rhead, Diamond Head), as evidenced by their rough debut album, 1983's Kill 'Em All (which saw guitarist Kirk Hammett replace original guitarist Dave Mustaine), that included the vicious Burton-bass solo "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)." The band was signed to Elektra in 1984, which issued their exceptional release Ride the Lightning, easily one of metal's all-time classics. But the best was yet to come; Metallica's third release was unquestionably their finest hour -- 1986's Master of Puppets -- and it broke into the U.S. Top 30 and went gold without any radio or MTV support. After completing a spring/summer opening slot with Ozzy Osbourne, the band embarked on a European tour. What should have been a time of celebration quickly turned to tragedy on the morning of September 27, 1986, when Burton was killed when Metallica's tour bus was involved in a horrible accident. With mass success around the corner, the band decided to soldier on with ex-Flotsam & Jetsam bassist Jason Newsted taking Burton's place. Burton's tenure with the band was celebrated with the 1987 home video Cliff 'Em All and a poem of his (as well as a few unused riffs) turned up on the song "To Live Is to Die" on Metallica's ...And Justice for All release. Despite scaling greater commercial heights after Burton's death, all three Burton-era Metallica releases remain their finest. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

How SAS® Is Different
Only SAS provides better fraud detection and greater operational efficiency with:
- A hybrid approach to fraud detection that combines rules, anomaly detection, predictive models and network analytics.
- Text analytics for analyzing unstructured data like claims notes, customer service logs, police reports, medical records, etc.
- Social network analysis, which lets you uncover organized fraud rings that might otherwise take years to identify.
- An insurance-specific data model and fraud engine, along with prepackaged heuristic rules, anomaly detection and predictive models specifically tailored for insurance fraud, so you can get up and running quickly.
- The flexibility to configure the system to meet your specific needs, as well as update models and adapt the system to address changes in insurance fraud trends.
- Detect more fraudulent activity than ever before.
- Insert advanced analytics into the process, in addition to rules engines.
- Process all claims data (not just a sample) through rules and analytical models in real time or in batch.
- Use customized anomaly detection methods to detect previously unknown schemes.
- Spot linked entities and crime rings, which can help stem larger losses.
- Overcome poor data quality issues associated with imperfect matching and highly linked entities.
- Prevent fraud losses before settlement.
- Stop fraud before claims are paid using online real-time scoring or daily batch scoring.
- Detect loss padding in similar claims using anomaly detection and loss comparisons.
- Identify repeat offenders and more accurately score incoming claims by searching databases of known fraudsters and capturing all fraud outcomes, referrals and suspects within the system for reuse.
- Uncover insider or collusive fraud by integrating staff data and audit records that show who handled which claims.
- Apply risk- and value-based scoring models to prioritize output before presenting to investigators.
- Insert analytical models into your process workflow, enabling real-time access to information.
- Lower loss-adjustment expenses.
- Greatly reduce false positives using a sophisticated fraud scoring engine.
- Improve investigator efficiency with advanced case management tools.
- Increase investigator ROI per investigator by prioritizing higher value networks and conducting more efficient and accurate investigations.
- Capture all claims settlement amounts within the system for reuse with similar claims in the future.
- Gain a consolidated view of fraud risk.
- Identify cross-brand/product fraud by seeing customer claims and policies for all lines of business.
- Continuously improve models and adapt the system as needed to address changes in fraud trends.
- Understand new claim threats and prevent substantial losses early using social network diagrams and sophisticated data mining capabilities.
- Improve your competitive position.
- Generate fewer false positives, which leads to greater customer satisfaction for legitimate customers.
- Drive fraudsters to target other insurers with less diligent and effective fraud detection methods.
- Satisfy regulatory and rating agency requirements through enhanced fraud management.
- Fraud data management
- Consolidates historical data from internal and external sources for fraud analysis and investigation.
- Includes data quality tools that can reduce or eliminate data inconsistencies or redundancies.
- Supports integration with third-party fraud applications.
- Rule and analytic model management
- Enables you to logically manage rules, models and alerts for investigators.
- Allows you to create and manage business rules, analytical models and known fraudster lists.
- Lets you maintain simple or complex routing and suppression rules.
- Detection and alert generation
- Scores claims in real time with an online scoring engine that combines business rules, anomaly detection and advanced analytic techniques.
- Calculates the propensity for fraud at first notice of loss, then rescores claims at each settlement stage as new claims data is captured.
- Goes beyond claims fraud detection by deploying at policy inception to prevent fraudsters from taking out policies in the first place.
- Alert management
- Assembles alerts from multiple monitoring systems, associates them with common claimants and gives investigators a more complete perspective on the risk of specific claimants.
- Calculates risk scores based on specific characteristics of the activity, and includes transparent reason codes.
- Prioritizes alerts and automatically assigns them to appropriate team members based on user-set rules and requirements.
- Social network analysis
- Provides a unique network visualization interface that lets investigators identify linkages among seemingly unrelated claims and uncover previously unknown relationships.
- Lets investigators go beyond transaction and account views to analyze all related activities and relationships at a network dimension.
- Automatically identifies suspicious networked behavior in the data.
- Gives investigators fast access to full details on claims and all related parties and networks.
- Allows investigators to merge and delete network entities as well as add annotations (text and images) to specific entities in a network.
- Case management
- Provides a systematic means for facilitating investigations, using a configurable workflow.
- Captures and displays all information pertinent to a case, including interview notes and evidence needed for criminal or civil prosecution, restitution and collections.
- Assesses your overall fraud exposure, including losses due to fraud as well as fraud detected or prevented.

I just bought some 15" 1.2's with 888's from Demon Tweeks - cost £870 delivered, balanced etc etc. The Pro Race 3's (which I also enquired about) was about a 4-6 week wait as they had to make them to order cause they didn't have any in stock in Anthracite, but they were a tiny bit cheaper, like £850 or something like that (still with 888's). Not sure what the normal price is cause I got a discount with my Pole Position discount I have with them, which is 10% off, plus a little bit more depending the mood of the person running it through the system.
Not sure what the 16" price was though, so may not help you, but may give you a kind of idea. Other places were cheaper when buying the wheels and tyres separately, but then there's the costs of fitting the tyres, balancing etc., which makes the package with DT cheaper.
try rimstyle bud
cheers guys, I have now done a little searching & found these wheels. As I can't seem to get pr 3's in 16", these seems pretty close. What size do i need ?
I've been looking at 3s, albeit in 15s, and I've only seen them in 15'' and 17''. Even direct they don't give a 16'' size
Im going for the Rota's now
Is 7x16 the same as the standard? Help please as I wannu get em ordered
Not sure if 7" is standard but it will fit. iirc standard is 6.5.

Square Enix isn't the only one with a new teaser site. Capcom Japan has also put one up, so for this week we get to wrack our brains about two different upcoming games. No countdown for the Capcom site, though, but there is a number.
The Capcom teaser site features the number (date?) "1560" lazily sliding back and forth against a hazy background. The numbers could mean anything, but it's worth noting that the teaser site is accessible from Capcom's Sengoku Basara portal, and the date corresponds to the setting of the series. It definitely strengthens the possibility of a new entry in that action series.
Interestingly, the first Onimusha game was also set in 1560. Could this be some sort of crossover game between the two franchises? The mind boggles.

Sign in to digital edition
Monday 9 Dec 2013
By Emily Sharpe. Web onlyPublished online: 03 June 2013
Plans to move the Munch Museum to a new glass structure on Oslo's waterfront finally got the official green light on Tuesday last week—four years after the Spanish architectural firm Herreros Arquitectos won the competition to design the new building.
The "Lambda" project had stalled because of wrangling by local politicians over the cost and location of the new museum, with those opposed to the move arguing that the new building should be built on the museum's current site in Toyen, a residential area of Oslo. An agreement was reached just days before the opening on 2 June of the exhibition "Munch 150", the centrepiece of a series of events to be staged in the country to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Norway's most famous artist.The decision "shows that even the starkest political opponents can put aside their differences for the [common] good", said Hallstein Bjercke, the city's commissioner for culture and industry, at the press opening on Friday for the exhibition. The Norwegian minister of culture, Hadia Tajik, joined Bjercke in expressing relief that the dispute has been resolved. The 12,000 sq. ft museum, which is expected to cost NKr1.6bn ($273m), is due to open in 2018. "Oslo is the fastest growing city in Europe and the new, modernist Munch Museum is part of that growth. [Because of the new museum] Munch will have a key role in how modern Oslo will look," Bjercke said. Officials are due to meet Wednesday to discuss further details.

This was the Camp home, owned by the family which operated the Camp Corset Company. They were world travelers, and kept a trunk on a landing in the stairway to their second floor. It was filled with objects which they had picked up during their travels. From that trunk they would produce prizes for the winners of bridge parties which they would host for friends.

Rockstar Games is renowned for (amongst other things) its ability to invent services and clever fake brands with which to adorn the virtual cities of the Grand Theft Auto series. The worlds feel that much more real and alive when you're driving down the street with believable billboards and adverts staring down at you.
It seems as though the team is flexing its collective creative muscle even further with Grand Theft Auto V, as evidenced by a series of in-game TV ads that you might see during your journey in Los Santos – watch them all below in the included trailer to see the kind of effort going into just one aspect of the enormous game (Note: Content could be considered NSFW, depending on your place of W):

Final - 10.1.2012 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
Philadelphia Phillies | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 1 |
Washington Nationals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 |
Washington Nationals' 19-year-old outfielder Bryce Harper was named the NL's Rookie of the Month for the month of September. It's the second time he's won the award this year.
The Washington Nationals celebrated winning the NL East crown in front of 35,000+ adoring fans in the nation's capital last night.
When Jayson Werth signed with the Washington Nationals in late 2010 he said he saw a future where the nation's capital embraced the Nats and the team brought championships back to the nation's capital.
The Phillies shut out the Nationals 2-0, but Washington secures their first ever division title.
Who cares about the WPA, NATS CLINCH THE NL EAST!!11!(ONE)!(ELEVENTY)!!
The Washington Nationals couldn't beat the Philadelphia Phillies, but the Pittsburgh Pirates came through for the Nats, beating the Atlanta Braves in PNC Park to hand the Nats their first pennant! And the first in D.C. since 1933.
Washington Nationals' left-hander John Lannan didn't make the Nats' Opening Day rotation, but he gets a chance tonight to help his team clinch the NL East pennant.
With one more win, the Washington Nationals will clinch the NL East pennant. Then it's on to the postseason for the first time for a team from D.C. since 1933.
With a win tonight in Nationals Park, the Washington Nationals can clinch their first NL East pennant. Only their NL East rivals from Philadelphia stand in the way.
The Washington Nationals are one win away from clinching the NL East as they return home to the nation's capital to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the final regular season series of the year.
Walks, WPs, booted double-play balls, and rallies that only miss by six runs--today's WPA is ready for the playoffs!!
The Washington Nationals could have clinched with a win or an Atlanta Braves' loss today, but neither of those things happened on Sunday afternoon.

Averages for Playacar in August
Playacar, Mexico, is a luxury resort located in Playa del Carmen. While the resort enjoys all the attractions and nightlife of Playa del Carmen, most of which is within walking distance, the community itself prides itself on being a quieter and more luxurious setting, with many adult-only accommodations.
August in Playacar is hot hot hot! The heats from the previous summer months linger and any reading lower than 23 degrees Celsius, even overnight, is practically unheard of. Visitors can expect highs of 33 degrees at this time of year. The summer rains continue, and will do so until the end of the rainy season in November. August typically sees around 146 mm of rainfall.
Those seeking things to do come rain or shine should pop in to the Aventuras Mayas tour operator, who have an office right on the Playacar ring road. Whether looking to visit the historical sites of Tulum, snorkel in Turtle Bay or fly high above the rainforest on a zip line, Aventuras Mayas can arrange it all. What's even better is that food and drinks are included in all excursions.
However, those who still find themselves peckish afterwards have an array of dining choices, including the Palazzo at the Royal Hideaway. One of the resort's more upscale dining establishments, this Italian eatery specialises specifically in regional dishes rather than generic pizzas and pastas. Decorated in red and gold hues, there's a definite charm and elegance here.
At £103 per night on average, the ClubHotel Riu Tequila is by no means the least expensive in the resort, but guests receive great value here. Nestled deep within a palm tree surround, this resort is very intimate private and with a spa, nightclub, numerous restaurants and shopping opportunities, there's no need to ever leave the complex!
