I must say--two GTX470s put out a lot of heat. The two 460s do too, but considerably less. Still more than enough to heat up my ~120 sq ft dorm room Really even the new Pentium Dual Cores feel wicked fast. For basically everything, my i7 is overkill. At this point a $75 CPU is more than enough, and a good SSD makes the biggest difference. I love the one in my laptop--night and day vs the 5400RPM disk in my i7.
I thought that this might be informative.I'm actually stunned by the PPD difference between my GTX 460's(@780 MHz) and my GTX 560 Ti's(@900MHz). The 560's are running at max PPD while the 460's have slowed down by almost 24%. There are 2 other factors that I'm too lazy to test. 1)The 460's are on XP and the 560's are on Win7. 2)The 460's are on an old A8N-Deluxe with an Athlon 64 3200+, the 560's are on a P7P55D-E PRO with an i5-650. I also know that one of the 460's is running core_15 v 2.25 while the 560's and the other 460 are running v 2.22. So, is it the old A8N or do all those extra specs on the 560 make that much of a difference?
That's way off. On the 5757pt WUs, I'd get ~16.2k PPD with my GTX460s (@848MHz). Something like 15.3k (IIRC) @ 750. I can't imagine that it's the old AMD A64--maybe it is XP though
Biggest ppd impact: core 2.25. That thing alone shaved 3500 ppd on a single gtx 460. Revert to 2.22 ASAP.
Why is Stanford pushing out a new core that cuts performance so drastically? How is that possibly good for them? I'd imagine that the clocks do have an impact--with the additional 3.5k PPD, he'd be at ~14.5k, which is low but not terribly so.
As you can see, i didn't said support. I said better support. SUPPOSEDLY, they do fare a little better. Nevertheless, it was such a pain finding what was stealing my ppd!
Grrrr. Just checked and both 460's are on 2.25. The process to revert to 2.22 is no fun and there's no guarantee it won't download 2.25 again.
As long as you don't re-install your client (delete the core), you should be fine. I did the revert only once.
Did you just delete the 2.25 core or did you follow http://fahwiki.net/index.php/Downloading_FAH_Core_files_manually Edit:I had "client-type" set to "advanced" and that CAUSES 2.25 to be downloaded!!!!!!http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=22793
It must be because i said i only did it once that my 4 gpu3 clients switched to 2.25 during the night... Of course i did not had a 2.22 copy on hand...
That is much better! I'm glad you got that sorted out! Those GTX560s are really doing an amazing job! ~same PPD as a GTX470, but with (presumably) far less heat
Buck, you should really come back to -bigadv : i was having heat issues, and while testing, i picked five 8102 in a row! That's 7 including the last two wus my sr-2 returned!
Already have one rig back on -bigadv, but got an 8101. Waiting for the other to finish up tonight with WCG and then both are back on F@H. Remember, if your not running 2.25, you will not recieve the -beta unit. I'm gonna run a GTX460 for a week to see if I can pick up one or two. Currently getting 11,880 PPD with 2.25. Bruce: are those 560's the 448 core model?
Have you guys seen these new GPU Beta clients with Quick Return Bonuses? Apparently a 580 can do over 250kPPD on them (P8057), WU are in short supply though.
I don't believe that's true. I'm almost sure of it. 2.25 is only required for Kepler based cards. "I got one! It appears to run fine on v2.22 FAHCore_15. I'm getting 95,500 PPD on a GTX 460!"-P5-133XL Nope, just GF114 560 Ti's
Must have been info I saw back when it was a closed beta. They were using the Kepler version of Fahtracker v2 that carried the -beta flag.
That's absolutely incredible. Once these go live, that would absolutely be enough for me to bring both GTX460s back to FAH
Getting back into the swing of F@H with 3 dumps today for a total of 1.032 Million points. Still no P8102's in sight(Feanor hoarded them all). After the WCG Challenge is over, Norton will bring the Opty-6176 over for a visit. Keep on folding boy's.
Sweet! I'm negotiating with KieX to buy a pair of HD7770s, in which case I'll probably bring some GPUs back to FAH
I should have a GTX460 1gb next week folding for you guys, I know it isn't much but i will also throw in a 8800GTS G80 till it dies completely.(its been unstable)

Sometimes you need to broaden your horizons. Vantage/Legrand wants to provide a bit of one-stop shopping, adding distributed audio to its product offering with the Vantage Axium 450AV multiroom amplifier.
The Axium 450AV was designed by system integrators with the system integrators in mind, meaning the installation is a breeze. While you might not care about your installer's feelings (they have them, you know!), an easier installation could translate into savings for you—and I think that's something we all care deeply about.
The multi-zone audio/video amplifier combined with keypad controllers, and/or the Vantage InFusion automation system enables you to individually control the power, volume and source selection in up to four rooms, with four sub-zone preamplifier outputs available.
Vantage Controls' Axium 450AV Series multizone amplifiers may be interconnected via the expansion bus, providing up to 32 zones of control which boasts a simple cable installation.
The Vantage Controls Axium 450AV Series has four separate amplifiers and preamplifiers, providing 4 zones of independent yet integrated control. There are seven stereo sources (S1 – S7) and an eighth mono source (S8) typically used for paging applications. Each unit incorporates an eight source by four-zone composite video matrix so screens in four different rooms may display any of the eight sources (S1 - S8). Buffered video outputs allow expansion of these sources to 32 zones.

India's state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd has entered into a contract with Russian firm United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) to manufacture 205 multi-role transport aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF), Russian Air Force (RAF) and export market. The partners have secured a second Russian firm - Multirole Transport Aircraft Ltd (MTAL) - as partner in the joint venture for the project, according to HAL's Tuesday statement.
"The aircraft will be designed for cargo/troop transportation; para-drop/air drop of supplies, including low altitude parachute extraction system," said HAL Chairman R.K. Tyagi. "Our primary objective is to achieve self-reliance in design and development and production of an MTA and manage the program with international collaboration and global suppliers."
HAL will carry out design & development of its workshare of the MTAL at its Aircraft R&D (ARDC) Center at Bangalore while its Transport Aircraft Division (TAD) at Kanpur will manufacture the prototypes and subsequently the serial production will be at Kanpur where dedicated facilities are being set up. HAL's other R&D Centers and manufacturing divisions will share development of systems & LRU's and manufacture of components, sub assemblies and composite structure. HAL will showcase its expertise in design of aircraft as well as systems, manufacturing & flight testing while jointly working with the Russian team in Moscow as well as in India.
The primary objective is to achieve self-reliance in design &development and production of aircrafts of this size and also to manage the program with international collaboration and large number of global suppliers.
The tripartite contract was based on the inter-government pact signed earlier by the Indian and Russian governments for joint design, development and production of the aircraft on 50:50 cost sharing basis by the joint venture partners. The joint venture will also work with Russia's aerospace major Rosoboronexport to co-develop the aircraft.
HAL & UAC-TA propose to design, develop and produce 100 aircraft for the Russian Air Force, 45 aircraft to the IAF and 60 for the third countries. Total requirement for the present is 205. The MTA project preliminary design will start immediately on signing the follow up contract on preliminary design on which tripartite discussions have been concluded.

At Tesla we're proud of our Roadster. "Fergus247" put it best in his comment about our recent video, "Imagine if all car companies loved their products this much. Hell, imagine if everyone producing some kind of product loves it like Tesla loves theirs." It's true. I look forward to driving one of our cars every chance I get, and get a thrill every time I'm behind the wheel. I think everyone who can should be driving a Roadster. It's a feeling all of us share at Tesla. So you could say we're biased. That's where car critics come in.
One of the more common misconceptions about the Tesla Roadster is that it is an electrified Lotus Elise. This has been an interesting problem to deal with because the Tesla is vastly different from an Elise and it is important that people are aware of this. In fact, we recently counted how many parts the two cars shared and the total number was under 7% by parts count. If you were to analyze it by parts value, the number would be even smaller.
Stephen Casner spent 25 years working on protocols and systems for transmission of audio and video over packet networks, starting before the Internet existed and continuing through the Internet Multicast Backbone (MBONE). He was recruited to the Silicon Valley to work with startup Precept Software and its IP/TV product, which was later acquired by Cisco. He is currently a Fellow at Packet Design, working on route analytics, and waiting patiently for his Signature One Hundred number to be called.
I've been driving production electric vehicles since November, 1998, when I took delivery of a General Motors EV1. I lost that first-generation EV1 when it was recalled in March 2000, but two months later I was able to lease a Gen 2 EV1 with NiMH batteries. GM pried that one out of my fingers when the three-year lease was up. I managed to continue driving electric by leasing a Ford Ranger EV pickup, but again that was only for a year before it was taken back. Luckily, I was given the opportunity to lease or buy one of the last few 2003 Toyota RAV4-EVs. Given the EV1 lease experience, the choice to purchase was obvious!
Imagine yourself strapped into a Tesla Roadster speeding down a rough cobblestone path intended to cause so much agitation that the ride stops being fun and starts becoming more like work. It's just a typical day at the Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA), an engineering and testing facility where we are punishing two of our Tesla Roadster Engineering Prototypes (and several of our engineers as well!).
At its heart, Tesla Motors is an engineering company. We get invited to a variety of events because of our technical expertise as well as a general interest in what we are doing and how we are doing it. I often get asked what it is like to work at Tesla Motors and to describe some typical problems we solve. Here is my take on those questions, based on my own experience and a swift survey of some of the other engineers.
This blog continues to attract some fascinating questions and perceptions regarding the philosophies of energy consumption, alternative fuels, well-to-wheel efficiency and other significant issues that affect us all. Then there's the technology of the car itself with its lithium ion battery pack, onboard charging system, power electronics to handle the immense energy available and that little motor that blasts you towards the horizon at warp speed……Linking all these systems and their safety monitors involves more computing power than the combined total on board all the cars I've ever owned. You could probably add your total in too!
So, apart from the new high tech stuff, what else do we do at Tesla Motors to ensure that our customers can enjoy this unique offering?
Holy smokes! There is no way I can respond to all your comments, but thank you everyone for writing. This time I will discuss one common thread that many of you raised: what exactly is Tesla's relationship with Lotus? Along the way, I will address a few other threads from your feedback. Once again, I am writing without Marketing's filters, so I apologize in advance for any "pc" slips.

Publication of the latest edition of Mondes review (May 18, 2012)
The new edition of Mondes has just been published. It is devoted to the responsibility to protect. This concept, adopted in 2005, was first applied in practice during the United Nations operation in Libya last year. It is more relevant than ever now, at a time when massacres of civilians are continuing, particularly in Syria.
To discuss the responsibility to protect and the issues surrounding it, figures directly involved in considering and implementing the principle have taken up the pen. They are Emmanuel Lebrun-Damiens, member of the Foreign Ministry's Policy Planning Unit; Jean-Marc Thouvenin, Professor at Paris West University Nanterre la Défense and Director of the International Law Centre in Nanterre; Nicolas de Rivière, United Nations and International Organizations Director at the Foreign Ministry; and Muriel Ubéda-Saillard, Docent at Paris West University Nanterre la Défense.
This 10th edition also contains, among other things, an interview with Stéphane Hessel entitled "Le parcours d'un indigné" and an article by Pierre Duquesne, the Ambassador for Economic Reconstruction and Development, "Palestine: l'Etat sans l'Etat".
Mondes is a quarterly review published by the Foreign Ministry. Aimed at the French- and English-speaking public, academics and researchers, think tanks and companies, as well as the French and foreign administrations, Mondes seeks to raise awareness of the challenges of foreign policy and the thoughts and analysis of French diplomats and researchers.

BALTIMORE -- This won't be the template for victory the A's draw up in the future.
They coughed up two leads Friday night, including an early five-run cushion, then hit their way back for a wild 14-9 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Overcoming a messy pitching display, the A's mustered some fortitude to take the opener of a three-game series that has surprisingly big implications on the American League wild card race. The A's entered the ninth inning trailing 9-8 but batted around in a six-run rally that capped a 16-hit attack. The Orioles had 15 hits.
"Boy, that was like a heavyweight fight," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "With both teams fighting that hard, it was one of the better games I've ever seen actually. Obviously you want to be on the winning end of that because of everything you put into it -- all the pitchers used, all the key hits by both teams."
The A's have now won 17 of 20 in July and moved to within 4½ games of A.L. West Division-leading Texas, the closest they've been since being four out May 21. The A's are a half-game behind the Los Angeles Angels for second place and the top wild-card spot.
A scary conclusion to the game even turned out in Oakland's favor. Right fielder Josh Reddick slammed into the wall while making a terrific catch of Nick Markakis' deep drive with two men on.
Reddick lay flat on the warning track for several minutes and was taken off on a golf cart after being tended to by trainers. He came away with an upper back contusion, but A's head trainer Nick Paparesta said Reddick suffered no concussion or head injury and is day-to-day.
Chris Carter's two-run home run helped the A's build a 5-0 lead. But starter Jarrod Parker couldn't handle the prosperity. The Orioles, now 2½ games back of a wild-card spot, chipped away and Adam Jones' three-run homer in the fifth put Baltimore up 6-5.
Parker surrendered six runs over five innings and hurled his glove in anger when he reached the dugout after the fifth.
"I've gotta be better," Parker said. "A couple lazy pitches will get you.—
But the A's answered the very next inning. Seth Smith pinch-hit for Jonny Gomes and ended a terrific at-bat with a three-run double to left-center for an 8-6 A's lead.
Smith added a two-run double in the ninth and tied his career high with five RBIs. It's been a challenging stretch for Smith, who has sat the past several games in favor of Gomes as the A's have faced several left-handers.
"I don't remember a stretch like this, even when I was a platoon guy in Colorado, where we've faced so many lefties," Smith said. "But Jonny is good against left-handers. Everything Bob does is the right thing."
After a six-day layoff, closer Ryan Cook entered trying to get a four-out save with an 8-6 lead, but he allowed three run-scoring singles to give Baltimore the lead.
But the A's answered in the ninth. Derek Norris chopped a game-tying RBI single to right, Jemile Weeks blooped a go-ahead RBI single to left, and the scoring parade was on.
An ESPN report suggested the A's and Orioles are the leading contenders to trade for San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley, one of the most coveted players as Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline approaches.
It's known the A's are trying to acquire a shortstop. When it comes to third base, a look at the numbers suggests their current starter, Brandon Inge, is giving them more production than you might expect from a .206 hitter.
Inge has 46 RBIs in 60 games since he was signed April 30 after being released by the Detroit Tigers. That RBI rate per game is better than that of both of Oakland's RBI leaders -- Yoenis Cespedes and Reddick.
Inge also is a solid defender and by all accounts a very good veteran presence in the clubhouse. Figure the A's will take all of that into consideration as they weigh whether to acquire a third baseman.
Headley, 28, is hitting .267 with 12 homers and 51 RBIs this season. He's a switch hitter and won't hit free agency until after the 2014 season, which makes him appealing.
The Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Indians also are interested in Headley but reportedly to lesser degrees than the A's and Orioles. Worth noting: Omar Minaya, the Padres' senior vice president of baseball operations, was at Camden Yards on Friday, and other Padres officials have scouted Baltimore games in recent weeks.
"What we're looking for at this point is how he feels afterward, and he feels great, so that's kind of the first step," Melvin said.
Anderson will throw a bullpen session in a few days before his next start is scheduled.
Dallas Braden was set to face hitters Friday in Arizona for the first time since being shut down with shoulder complications in spring training.

What exactly is a carbon tax ? If we pay a tax, then it's OK to emit carbon ?
Prometheus December 5, 2013 at 03:06 pm
Close but no....you pay another tax based on the amount of carbon your home uses...oil, nat gas,…Read More etc....and you pay a tax based on that amount. It has nothing to do with anything other than social justice and the redistribution of wealth.

The two most widely used tests administered to adolescents assess both aptitude and achievement.
The SAT, formely called the Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test, was revised in March of 2005 and consists of two tests. The first, the SAT Reasoning Test (formerly the SAT I), measures verbal, mathematical, and writing skills, while the second, SAT Subject Tests (formely SAT II), assesses knowledge of particluar subject areas such as biology and world history. Some suggest the SAT Reasoning Test measures reasoning aptitude and the SAT Subject Tests measure achievement.
The new SAT Reasoning Test consists of ten sections divided into three math, three reading, and three writing sections, with an additional equating section that may be any one of the three types. Separate verbal, writing, and mathematical scores are reported with a range of 200 - 800 for each. A perfect score on this new three - part version of the SAT is 2400.
SAT Subject Tests are one-hour multiple-choice tests given in individual subjects such as English, history and social studies, mathematics, science, and languages. Each individual test is scored on the same scale of 200 to 800.
The SAT is administered to approximately a million high-school seniors every year and used by a majority of colleges and universities in the admissions process. Scores from the old SAT appear to be good predictors of college grades across a wide range of majors and areas of concentration. Old SAT scores also are predictive of college graduation rates and were found to be related to g or intelligence (Frey & Detterman, 2004; Stumpf and Stanley, 2002)
The American College Testing (ACT) Assessment Program (1995) is another widely used assessment instrument. The ACT consists of three parts: the Academic Tests, the Student Profile Section, and the ACT Interest Inventory. The Academic Tests assess four content areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. The Student Profile Section collects demographic data, high school activities, and academic plans for college. The ACT Interest Inventory surveys students' vocational interests. The ACT yields scores of 1 to 36, which are averaged to create the ACT Composite. The ACT differs from the SAT in two distinct ways. First, the ACT measures basic competencies that are necessary for success in college in addition to vocationally relevant interests. This makes the ACT more useful than the SAT for counseling students in their educational and career decisions. The second difference is that the ACT is more closely tied to secondary school curricula and therefore functions as a truer achievement test than the SAT.
The main advantage for colleges in using these test scores is that tests like SAT and ACT make it easier to compare students from different educational backgrounds and grading systems. However, critics of the SAT and the ACT argue that they are not immune to the race/ehnicity, socioeconomic, and gender biases discussed in regard to intelligence tests. In addition, high-school grades are almost equally predictive of success in college. Finally, both tests claim to measure innate ability; however, special classes and coaching can significantly influence the score on either of these tests. For these reasons, the College Entrance Examination Board has long since encouraged colleges to rely on other admissions information.

Barack Obama's Department of Justice shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections
Last year, two federal courts ordered the State of Georgia to implement a system to verify the citizenship of registered voters. This arose after Karen Handel, Georgia's Secretary of State, sent letters to 4,771 voter registration applicants whose records at the Georgia Department of Driver Services indicated they were not U.S. citizens. Federal law requires the Secretary of State to make sure the information is | Read More »

I was still oohing and aahing over the town of El Fuerte when the owner of Rio Vista Hotel, Chal Gamez, invited me to join a group bound for a native dance performance by indigenous Mayo Indians. The hotel van jounced along a potholed asphalt road barely wide enough for two vehicles, passing through desolate scrub desert where everything was coated with a thick layer of dun-colored dust. Twenty minutes later we reached the tiny settlement of Capomo, a handful of squat adobe houses in the middle of this vast, desiccated wilderness. We pulled off into a compound in front of one of the houses and sat on simple log benches beneath a canopy constructed of woven twigs.
Chal explained that the Mayo Indians are generally considered to have the purest native blood in Mexico, with most members of the tribe being at least 70% Mayo. Their ancient dances had their origins in animism. The Danza del Venado (Deer Dance), for instance, was performed in a full deerskin outfit with a bow and arrow. However, in 1590 Jesuit missionaries arrived on the scene and began converting the Mayo to Christianity. Rather than prohibiting heathen dances, the crafty Jesuits introduced religion by dance, allowing the natives to intermingle their animistic beliefs with Christian theology. Today these dances are performed at important religious gatherings, such as Semana Santa (Easter week) and the festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Three Mayo males stepped into the enclosure as Chal was completing his explanation and squatted in front of instruments that have not changed for thousands of years. Two of the musicians produced a rhythmic rasping sound by drawing twigs and lengths of notched hardwood over the rounded tops of hollowed-out, halved gourds. A third musician beat a halved gourd floating in a tub of water with a short club, while elders seated on the side played traditional skin covered drums.
When the thumping and rasping merged to create a syncopated rhythm, Jose Luis Talenius shook his bright red gourd rattles and began the Danza del Venado. A small deer's head was cinched to the top of his head by leather throngs and decorated with flowers, the colors of which vary according to the ritual being performed. Every item of his clothing was symbolic: the red scarf Continue reading

No Surprises Expected in Today's New York State Primaries
By Chris Ulanowski
Oswego, NY – A weekend poll conducted by the Qinnipiac Polling Institute shows that support remains very strong for Eliot Spitzer who is being challenged by Tom Souzzi for the democratic nod for Governor.
The closest race remains the democratic contest for State Attorney General.
WRV0's Chris Ulanowski asked Quinnipiac Pollster Maurice Carroll about the findings.

"Since the very first days of the drupa, visitors to our booth have been very interested in the joint solution from HP and Muller Martini," said Aurelio Maruggi, Vice President and General Manager, Inkjet High-speed Production Solutions, HP. "As the market continues moving away from conventional printing methods to digital printing, our customers realize that we offer them completely new opportunities – in particular in terms of print quality, production speeds and flexibility. This translates to new business segments in the area of inkjet printing."
Aurelio Maruggi (Vice President & General Manager for Inkjet High-speed Production Solutions at HP): "HP and Muller Martini offer their customers completely new opportunities – in particular in terms of print quality, production speeds and flexibility – and therefore new business segments in the area of inkjet printing."
Benefits of Inline SystemsFor Maruggi, it is important to demonstrate the greatest advantages of inline systems to drupa visitors. "For example, they will see we offer a joint solution that seamlessly merges digital printing and print finishing," says Maruggi. "We chose Muller Martini as a solution partner because the company understands digital printing extremely well." According to Bruno Müller, CEO of Muller Martini, part of such expertise is Connex, the worldwide leading data and process management system in digital book production from Muller Martini, which optimizes and automates finishing of printed materials from offset and digital printing presses. "With the increasing importance of digital printing, an intelligent workflow has become unavoidable," emphasizes Bruno Müller. "That's because it's only possible to produce products directly and cost-effectively in one operation if the entire process is totally automated and integrated. This is precisely where Muller Martini serves as your reliable partner to ensure the security of your investments: whether offset or digital, every business determines the corresponding degree of automation and networking that is required." According to Bruno Müller, "Connex fulfils all customer requirements in this respect – in particular for the efficient production of short runs."
Visitors to HP's booth have been very interested in the joint inline solution from HP and Muller Martini for the finishing of digitally printed books.
Color as Well as Black & White BooksAt HP's booth, color as well as black & white books are being produced in live demonstrations on the HP T410 Inkjet Web Press and the fully integrated SigmaLine complete solution from Muller Martini designed for the production of digitally printed books and featuring the SigmaFolder and SigmaCollator (for 42 inch webs). The black & white products are printed on the HP T410 at a speed of 244 meters per minute, while color books are produced at 183 meters per minute. In addition, four pallets of books for an Italian publishing house are being printed every other day at HP's booth. The books are then bound on the new Alegro perfect binder at Muller Martini's booth shortly before the end of each day.

Alexander Skarsgard
Alexander Skarsgard fans…
As you can see…Team Eric, HAS LOST the Battle of the Fang : (
It was a hard, valiant battle but in the end they rallied enough to move ahead.
First I want to start off by saying THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you to the Fans…the sites and Alexander!
Thanks to the Ladies at the Nest, Team Bill and Stephen!!
Together we made this a wonderful event!!
Thank you to Melanie at SkarsgardNews, Barbara at Skarsgardfans, Dee Dee at EricNorthman, and all the other fansites/media sites out there that helped to promote this thing…
You guys ROCK and Alexander is very lucky to have you all behind him…
The Tall One is blessed and he's well aware of how hard you all worked to make this endeavor so special…
We may have lost in the contest but really…we all won!!!
Together we raised $70,000 as donations have continued to come in past the 1:00am CST deadline.
Not only have we brought a worthy charity a little bit more recognition…we helped them pick up a few sponsors for the future and one of our very own Skarsgirls who is a physician and donates her time for Doctors Without Borders, has mentioned her interest in becoming an active member in the SOS Family.
I'm so thrilled to have been a part of this and I think next year…
BATTLE OF THE FANG 2011 will NOT have the same Champion!!!!
Pussar och kramar from all of us here…
the Tall One sends his love!!!

The second release from Rope Swing Cities comes from long time friend Brian Grainger, Milieu. I still really enjoy this album today. Reading these old release notes makes me laugh, I love how I referred to Rope Swing Cities as a "we," like it was more than me in my apartment getting excited about music.
Here's what I said:
"Songs We Found In The Sand was the second full album produced by Milieu. After meeting through a chance encounter in the magical land of the internet, he offered the release to us with the warning, "i know it sounds a little dated, i'll understand if you don't want it, seriously."
Luckily, here at Rope Swing Cities we're more concerned with the quality of music then worrying if our artists are cutting themselves on the bleeding edge electronic music. What we discovered upon listening, is a wonderfully moving, emotional album, filled with simple, enchanting drum patterns and haunting synth lines. Needless to say, we enthusiastically told him that we'd love to release it.
As we spoke further with Milieu regarding the music on this release, an interesting fact about his production work came out that answered some questions we had about the sound of his music: initially all of his samples, keyboards, guitar and drums are recorded to tape and then transferred to the computer for arranging and looping. After the track is built it's sent back to tape, then to the computer again for final mastering. This incorporation of such a loved analog medium helped explain to us the warmth and depth of sound found in this release. In his own words, "I still think it sounds better on cassette though."
On this album, Milieu's music brings up intense feelings of nostalgia. The beauty of it, is that it doesn't attempt
to guide your inner exploration. Whether you're reminded of fond memories from childhood; running through sprinklers, basking in the warmth of the sun. Or if you're looking at your past for closure on the darker moments that have plagued you for some time, Songs We Found In The Sand is the perfect accompaniment on your journeys.
More information about Milieu can be found here."

VIDEO: Amazingly Close Up View Of A Woodpecker
By Mark Memmott
Maybe you won't agree, but we think this video is fascinating. It's a very close encounter with a woodpecker at a bird feeder in Dryden, N.Y.
(Hint: don't give up before the 15-second mark.)

The Emmay Bath has been designed to make your baby feel safe and secure and make every bathtime a pleasure for you and your baby. The shape is comfortably rounded to allow you to easily hold and support your baby.
bath is bigger than I thought which is a bonus and is quite sturdy, a lot more than what I expected for the price. Havent had a chance to test yet as baby not yet arrived but no concerns about using it and 100% sure will do the job perfectly. all in all a great bargain buy
Easy to use, great quality as I wanted one with a bit of depth so water would bot splash out and it even has space for soap etc. Just what I wasl looking for and the price was just right!
All I wanted was a simple baby bath, without a plug (as I just think that's something to fail and leak!). That's what this is. A simple baby bath, wih no frills. It's a lovely shape and well constructed, a good buy.
good value bath for when our granddaughter comes to visit.

If Disney World had a Foodland, it might look a little like Traverse City, Michigan (population: 142,000). Too-cute-to-be-true storefronts line downtown's Front Street. Kids lick American Spoon Foods gelato (spoon.com), and tourists graze on cherry-flavor everything at Cherry Republic (cherryrepublic.com).
The small farmers market is a tableau of gorgeous produce. Farm-fresh food headlines most menus--green beans in Radish's salad bar (myradish.net) or raclette cheese at Martha's Leelanau Table (marthasleelanautable.com). Lake Michigan glitters, orchards blanket the hills, and everyone talks--no, gushes--about the food.-
Several factors explain Traverse City's culinary scene. The lake climate makes for bountiful harvests. Vineyards yield respected wines. The Great Lakes Culinary Institute attracts young, ambitious cooks; some stay to open restaurants.
In fact, of our top towns, Traverse City has the most established food reputation. So why the silver medal? Traverse City is less affordable than Madison. And, aside from secrets such as Middle-Eastern cafe Silver Swan Homemade Foods (silverswantc.com), it's relatively lacking in ethnic options or hole-in-the-wall favorites. Sins to be sure, but easily forgiven over a sack of fresh-picked cherries.

UH coach records uniform prank on the team
By Craig Hlavaty | October 31, 2013 | Updated: November 1, 2013 12:52am
Photos: See the Coogs' Halloween gear
Ahead of Thursday's University of Houston football game, the Cougars' coach decided to play — and record — a prank on the team.
This week, the school unveiled a set of limited edition football uniforms that the team was to wear for their Halloween Night matchup, which went on auction after the game.
But before the real jerseys, pants, and helmets were shown to the team, Cougars head coach Tony Levine decided to have a little fun with his guys. Levine did a good job building up the drama before the unveiling, with some of the players looking on in worry.
Out comes a mannequin cloaked in Cougar red. Levine sort of fumbles the big reveal, with the mannequin falling to the ground, but that only adds to the luster of the prank.
Some Cougars laugh and point at the faux uniforms, which look like a high school freshman team's finest duds. The missing hand on the mannequin was a nice touch.
Soon enough, the real thing comes out and the video gets pretty loud.
Bidding began on the uniforms ahead of the game, with the price on one of the helmets already at $1,125 and rising.
The Houston Cougars defeated the South Florida Bulls 35-23 at Reliant Stadium.

So, new seasons of shows are up and all. Breaking bad is OVER! YAY! The rest of us non-fangirls can relax a little more.
I'm just curious what everyone is watching.
New shows:
Marvel: Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. (Of course)
The Black List (This is pretty good so far. Though, I usually avoid cop shows)
Season Premeires:
The Voice (Yay! Ceelo and Christina are back!)
The Vampire Diaries (Yea, my little guilty pleasure. A lot of it is very cliche' but heh... it's something mind numbing to watch.)
Watching Online:
Supernatural (I never really got into the show. I watched maybe the first few and stopped. But, I started picking it back up recently)
The Originals (Vampire Diaries Spinoff. I know it's a new show, but I haven't actually started watching it yet. Gonna get around to that eventually.)
I think that is all of them. Is there something else out there I should be watching? You know.. other than Breaking Bad.

Isabella Roden, Digital Projects Intern for The Nature Conservancy
By Isabella Roden
When I arrive at my college campus each year in September, the first thing I think of isn't about how to be an environmentally conscious student.
It's more like; "Should I introduce myself to that person I've never met before? No, too stressful. Where are my friends? Where is my room?!"
At the same time though, college is one of the greatest places where you can actually DO something for the environment, and it's not even that hard.
You might be more focused on seeing friends, starting a new extracurricular, or hey, maybe even attending your classes, but you'd be surprised how easy it can be to go green at college!
Here are some of the ways you can show your support for the environment on campus:
In the end you don't have to go full-on hippie (unless you want to!) to go green on your college campus. Small, easy steps can lead to large environmental benefits, and you'll be able to go home and brag about how you've become so responsible. Just don't tell your mom that you haven't done laundry in two months.

VA Benefits:
Other Programs May Provide Lessons for Improving Individual Unemployability Assessments
GAO-06-207T, Oct 27, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides disability compensation to veterans disabled by injuries or diseases that were incurred or aggravated while on active military duty. Under Individual Unemployability (IU) benefit regulations, a veteran can receive increased compensation at the total disability compensation rate if VA determines that the veteran is unemployable because of service-connected disabilities. GAO has reported that numerous technological and medical advances, combined with changes in society and the nature of work, have increased the potential for people with disabilities to work. Yet VA has seen substantial growth of IU benefit awards to veterans over the last five years. In 2001 GAO reported that a growing number of private insurance companies in the United States have focused their programs on developing and implementing strategies to enable people with disabilities to return to work. Our testimony will describe how U.S. private insurers facilitate return to work in three key areas: (1) the eligibility assessment process, (2) work incentives, and (3) staffing practices. It will also compare these practices with those of VA's IU eligibility assessment process.
The disability programs of the three private insurers we reported on in 2001 included three common return-to-work practices in their disability assessment process. Incorporate return-to-work considerations from the beginning of the assessment process: Private insurers integrated return-to-work considerations early and throughout the eligibility assessment process. Their assessment process both evaluated a person's potential to work and assisted those with work potential to return to the labor force. Provide incentives for claimants and employers to encourage and facilitate return to work: These incentives included requirements for obtaining appropriate medical treatment and participating in a return-to-work program, if such a program would benefit the individual. In addition, they provided financial incentives to employers to encourage them to provide work opportunities for claimants. Strive to use appropriate staff to achieve accurate disability decisions and successful return-to-work outcomes: Private insurers have access to staff with a wide range of expertise not only in making eligibility decisions, but also in providing return-to-work assistance. The three private disability insurers told us that they selected the appropriate type and intensity of staff resources to assess and return individuals with work capacity to employment cost-effectively. In comparison, VA's Individual Unemployability decision-making practices lag behind those used in the private sector. As we have reported in the past, a key weakness in VA's decision-making process is that the agency has not routinely included a vocational specialist in the evaluation to fully evaluate the applicant's ability to work. Preliminary findings from our ongoing work indicate that VA still does not have procedures in place to fully assess veterans' work potential. In addition, the IU decision-making process lacks sufficient incentives to encourage return to work. In considering whether to grant IU benefits, VA does not have procedures to include vocational specialists from its Vocational Rehabilitation and Education (VR&E) services to help evaluate a veteran's work potential. By not using these specialists, VA also misses an opportunity to have the specialist develop a return-to-work plan, in collaboration with the veteran, and identify and provide needed accommodations or services for those who can work. Instead, VA's IU assessment is focused on the veterans' inabilities and providing cash benefits to those labeled as "unemployable," rather than providing opportunities to help them return to work. Incorporating return-to-work practices could help VA modernize its disability program to enable veterans to realize their full productive potential without jeopardizing the availability of benefits for people who cannot work.

I live in Arizona and have been interested in genealogy and family history for many years. I have been using Find A Grave for quite while and found it especially helpful on a research trip I took to Michigan in April 2008. That trip really got me thinking - and knowing that all my tombstone pictures will get tossed after I die - I decided to start participating!
I am contributing in hopes of helping others who may be searching for names in their family tree. If you have additional information or corrections - please contact me. If I have made a memorial for your direct relative and you'd like it transfered to you, just ask.

Parley Starr (116899945)
Hi Denise - Thanks for the message about Parley's birth place. I think the stone is actually indicating his place of death, though. I looked again at his hand written death record, which appears to say either "Milton Conn" or "Milton Corn(ers)" But in the photo, there's a word that looks like "in" engraved in the middle of the figure that looks like a chess piece just above "Milton VT". I also found an ad in the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press of March 18 1853, where "the farm lately occupied by Parley Starr, late of Milton" is up for sale by EC Starr. I updated the memorial to list Milton as his place of death and noted the confusion over his death record as well. Still working on his birth info - at least 3 people named Parley Starr lived in Vermont at the same time, so it's a challenge to get it right. Your photos have helped a lot toward that goal! -Deb

Denise ___ This is terrific! Thank you so very much for these Firman / Schneider transfers ... and the description note on the Superior Cem.
It's exciting to link Minnie's two families to her MacLean/Coey ancestry. Still have two of her three brothers and two sons/two daus to locate before this family circle is complete.
Truly appreciate your speedy response to these transfers. It was a joy to read about this cemetery too.
