The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
Annual fee is expensive. They add in hidden fees. They force you to use annual automatic credit card renewal which is hard to cancel. Tracking feature uses up batteries within 2 hours.

Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
I've just returned from a two month journey paddling the Inside Passage from Seattle WA to Ketchikan AK, and thought I'd send some feedback from the field. First of all, we managed to get a message out every day of our journey, which supplied invaluable peace of mind to our family. However, the device - or more specifically the software - has its quirks and leaves something to be desired. Here are some thoughts and comments:
Physcial Device:
-The actual SPOT should be a bright, unnatural color - say coast guard orange or neon green. I want something visible from more than ten feet away, especially when the device is perched on a boulder on a beach.
App/Software (iPhone/iPad):
-I had to rediscover the device on my iPhone (or iPad) EVERY SINGLE TIME I connected. This is a royal pain. Other devices reconnect automatically once paired, and this should be the standard behaviour.
-I had to connect to the device to use ANY feature of the app. Some basic functionality should be present, in fact the more settings and info that could be stored with the app the better.
-The app was flakey in recording the history of sent messages. The device would indicate that a message had been sent, but it did not always show up in the message history on the app. Since I had no other way of confirming the message actually had been sent, on several occasions I resent the message just for MY peace of mind of seeing it listed in the message history. Turns out this was a waste of battery power and time, as the message really had been sent, it just didn't make it to the message history screen. I couldn't find any rhyme or reason for recording message history - I tried leaving the iPhone on until the first message went out, or turning it off and reconnecting, and couldn't find any correlation to the behaviour.
-It was far to easy to accidently clear the app settings. I hadn't successfully paired the device yet, and my cold, wet, tired, fumble fingers at the end of a long day accidently hit the "I don't have a SPOT connect" button rather than getting back to the iPhone settings to manually discover the device. BOOM. All my account settings were GONE. UNACCEPTABLE. Fortunately I had my iPad as a backup for communicating to the SPOT. In two months I think I had Internet access three or four times, so I wasn't exactly in a position to reload the account data.
-When I returned home I discovered that only a max of thirty days of messages are available on the online map. Really? These are tiny messages, and I was hoping for an archive of our journey. Since we were out for two months, I lost the first half of our trip. This is really unacceptable.

Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
It took several calls for set up. Instructions are incomplete and not clear. Tech staff are very helpful. service subscription fees are not clear until you acivate. The Track Progress is cumbersome. I would recommend to SPOT to hire tech staff to write instructions.

Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
This spot connect does not work correctly. I have been working in IT for a long time and it acts like a beta product that has not been thoroughly tested. I tested it before this trip and it seemed to work. I was in the wilderness in Montana for 5 days and on the 2nd day the device made the bluetooth connection with my iPhone 4s but the app could not find the device no matter what I tried (closing app, turning off connect, turning on and off the iPhone 4s). Finally I tried logging off the app and to my surprise and immense frustration, an internet connection is needed to log back on. What [*] thought of that - if I had an internet connection, I wouldn't need the Spot?? The device was useless for the rest of the trip. I am returning it. I may consider the older, not-bluetooth Spot.
Best Uses
Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
I bought this to use on solo men bike trips in remote areas. On a couple test runs w/ the device I found it very difficult to get connected to my iPhone 4s. I suspect the device may be faulty, but I doubt I will spend the extra money getting a unit that syncs to a phone next time.
I need a device that I can turn on and send an OK message or HELP message in an instant so I can get back to enjoying my time away from civilization. Syncing to the phone seems like a good idea, but messing around with tech is not really why I go out on remote rides.
Best Uses
Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
There are so many bugs with this thing that other reviewers have documented that I won't bother to describe, but I'm sure we've had all of them. We have finally been able to get it to work most of the time by unpairing and re-pairing the SPOT from our phone in the bluetooth settings EVERY time we use it. This usually makes it able to work. (We are using a Droid Razr Maxx phone).
Some new issue seems to come up every other time we use it though, and the customer service at SPOT is terrible (they actually told us we'd have to uninstall and reinstall the app from our phone every time we used it...kind of defeats the purpose of the device when you are out of cell range). Pretty annoyed these guys have our money for the device AND the subscription when it does not work as advertised. I only hope that if we needed the SOS at least that would work. Very disappointed.
Best Uses
Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
My father was recently killed in a snowmobile accident (3-11). Afterwards my family was extremely nervous about me going sledding and not being able to check in or reach emergency services. After looking into all available options, I selected this device based on price and features.The initial setup was a bit more lengthy than I expected, but was essential to create accounts and input contacts.The basic yearly service fee is $99, but that's just it - basic. Another $10 gets you $100K insurance for emergency services. For $50 your friends and family can track your position via Google maps and updated coordinates every 10 minutes. And then there's messages $.50 each. I'm out $300, but my wife can sleep.The neat feature about the iPhone version is you can create custom messages as needed, or use stored ones. Program also offers some additional features that gives you more feedback about what the unit is doing. Initially I had trouble getting it to pair with my phone, but once setup I haven't had any pairing troubles.My wife and I both liked the tracking function. She was able to keep an eye on my sledding adventures (sort of) in real time. And once home I could look at where all I had been. Having coordinates with a date stamp in order was useful and the pins left a nice digital breadcrumb trail. Just wish Google maps had better zoomed-in close maps of where I was in the mountains.Eventually Spot will be coming out with a two way version, and then you'll see this one on [@]. In the meantime, for the sub $500 price point this unit is well made and functions well. My family has piece of mind and I can better map out my favorite riding spots.
Best Uses
Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
I bouth this unit because I was going to be a long way out in the ocean going to the Dry Tortugas and wanted a back up means to communicate with family and friends. This unit did just that. It allowed me to send my location information and text messages tolet everyone know how the conditions were. The unit worked great.
Once I figured out how to use it, it worked really good. Make sure you use it before heading out to make sure it is configured correctly.
The only probelm that I had was with the web site. It takes a long time to add you contacts and it didn't keep them organized into my groups. I had to repeat the process several times to make sure it was correct.
I can't wait for the next upgrade so that your contacts can send you back text messages!
Best Uses
Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
I purchased this device for my upcoming through hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. I wanted something to give my wife and kids peace of mind and the ability to communicate my progress.
It took several attempt to get the SPOT paired with my iPhone 4s. After paired, I played around with it, turning both devices off and back on and pairing over and over. Worked each time. I then paired the SPOT with my iPad2. It paired on the first try. I then sent a test message and it went through in less than 2 minutes. The next test was to Iron Mountain in San Diego. I tested the tracking and gps coordinates and have to say it was SPOT on. I sent another test text and again it went through in less than 2 minutes. So far so good.
The computer set up was easy and worked fine. Will be doing more testing before heading out on April 14th.
Best Uses
Comments about SPOT Connect Satellite Communicator:
Firmware update was a slight hassle, probably more my computer then an issue with the Connect. Luckily I had another computer nearby to complete the task, but I could see where others might think its an issue with the Connect.
Account setup was pretty standard. Create a user name and password, pay the yearly fee.
First try to pair the Connect by Bluetooth with my iPhone 4 failed. But after a reboot of the iPhone all went well. Each time Bluetooth is turned off then back on I have to go into the Bluetooth settings to re-connect (not pair just re-connect) to the Connect. Would like it to automatically recognize and connect like most other Bluetooth devices, but oh well.
Setup of contacts, contact groups, and predefined messages was easy. Did it on both my computer and on the iPhone, just have to be sure to sync the app afterwards. Each message went out and was received within a minute of initiating. Of course the unit still spent 10 plus minutes locked-out while sending out the redundant messages, which weren't received (which is intended). I wish the SMS sent out had a link to a map showing the location like the emails do.
Put iPhone in airplane mode, turned Bluetooth back on and connected, then sent out more test messages with no problems.
The only possible issues I can find are; if I don't sync changed contacts or predefined messages before leaving cell coverage there could be issues with the sent messages. Or, if the Spot Connect app gets "signed out" while out of cell coverage, I won't be able to open the app rendering the Connect only useful for only SOS mode.
After my initial setup I began pairing the Connect to a second iPhone, my iPad, my Android Tablet, and a Android smartphone. All had no issues and sent out messages, even from inside the house.
Yes, all this testing was done from the comfort of my home, but I look forward to putting it through it's paces in the field soon.

So when interviewed for a special that will run Monday at 8 p.m. on NBA TV, the six-time NBA champion former Chicago Bulls guard said he currently views Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant as having the more successful career to this point than Miami Heat forward LeBron James.
"If you had to pick between the two, that would be a tough choice," Jordan, now owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, told program host Ahmad Rashard, "but five beats one every time I look at it."
Bryant has won five championships with the Lakers, with James winning his first NBA title last June.

He is making great decisions and doing what everybody wants to do but can't.
are we going to discredit Shaq because he dunked the ball? If you're that dominant to be able to do so, you should get all the credit.
Bottom line: LeBron is an incredible player doing incredible things. No ifs or buts, period. If anybody disagrees, then rest assured you're dead wrong.

Ask dotTechies: What type of articles do you want to see more of on dotTech?
August 22, 2010 42 Email article | Print articleOn dotTech I write on many different topics. To help better focus my time and effort on topics that interest dotTechies, I would like to know what type of articles everyone is most interested in. Please cast your vote in the poll below, and share your thoughts in the comments, to help improve dotTech!
[poll id="19"]
Thanks to everyone that participates!
42 Comments »
Pick just ONE!?!?!?!? REALLY???? I look forward to all of the topics. I chose tips& tricks because I love learning new things about software and computers and windows but with that you have to have some really good freebies to utilize all of the capabilities of computers. A huge thanks goes to this site for all of it's helpfulness and time and also heads up about bad software, this really is a site that needs to stay and keep up the amazing work it has been doing!!! THANK YOU!!!!
27I voted for "Other", because I think that you already have the proper balance of the other choices.
In other words – Don't change too much, just keep on keeping on with more of the same!
What a great site you have!28The first 3 for me:-
Freeware Review.
GOTD Reviews.
Pretty well the way it is now.
And I find a lot of Tips & Tricks come out in with the reviews.32Hi Ashraf…
I can see that others have felt similar to what I feel. With many things that some of us are interested in, it may be easier to give us numbers to place in the boxes instead of checking just one box. For example, if you have seven choices, allow us to pick what is most important to us as number one, and least important as number seven. That way you may be able to get a better picture of what we favor. If you have an "other" box, I don't think that helps you at all. I hope this response helps you.
I view your site everyday and enjoy it very much. I'm not a techie, but I get a lot of help and information from this site. Keep up the GREAT work!
Sincerely, Harold33I am also choosing "other" as in everything you review is a learning experience for me.
34My discovery of dotTech was via GOTD, and I am now in the habit of visiting your site daily. It has become an indispensible source of useful software and interesting information for me. Your reviews are in-depth, wysiwyg, informative and clear and they determine whether or not I will install an item of software. I am amazed at how you find time to research and generate such well-presented articles.
My vote would be for 'all of the above', but only if it were not to detract from the excellent reviews you currently produce. Given your talent for research and presentation, any topic you choose to write about would be a worthwhile read. However, restricting myself to a single category, I have voted for Tips 'n Tricks.
Keep up the good work, it is very much appreciated.
35I am not sure what category this falls in to, but I bet there would be a lot of people interested -
"How to fix the horrible Windows 7 Start Menu"
(aka How to get it as close to the Classic Menu as possible)There are some free programs out there that tap in to the Shell, but I have learned to 'let sleeping dogs lie' (aka 'don't muck with the internals')
IT HAS NEARLY KILLED ME, but I have managed to get this when I click the Start Menu
(PS I have to hover over (or click) All Programs')
This is ALL THAT I SEE (Nothing else) -
Administrative Tools
StartUp_DisabledYou probably could dispense with _Other_Programs and put them in _Misc
Or perhaps have _Misc_BoringThe above are all parent Menus, and that is all that shows in my Start Menu.
I have to click those to see the Sub Menus or EXE's
Hover would be nice, but I can live with a single click to see the contents of say _MiscThere are a lot of people Googling for something close to the Classic Start Menu.
And there are a lot of rude people telling those 'searchers', that they should learn to use the new Search box (and love the 'Ribbon'), instead of organizing our Menu.
They got me very angry, and thus made me determined to find out how to organize the Win7 Menu into what many of us want.36definitely for an "everything above" option. The more the better :)
Appreciated Ashraf!37Like everyone else I cant pick just one. Everything, sounds good to me.
38Add one more for "everything above". I'm always happy to learn new things when it comes to tech, and your reviews of software -whether they be freeware or GOTD related- are invaluable and help me make an altogether safer decision about what to use on my system. My deepest appreciation to you and all who work to make dotTech such a go-to site for so many people worldwide.
41I have been thinking and it would be great if we could email and/or submit computer questions and request software reviews. Then you would review the submissions and pick a few to write about here and deliver the article in a newsletter.
Just a thought42

Slowly, I began to feel uncomfortable eating junk around Nick. He would be slamming down protein shakes, growing bigger and stronger, while I remained small and soft and unsure of what to do with this vast difference in body type.
the gym
Because I sure as shit don't.
working out
In general, songs about clubbing and ex boyfriends makes me want to fill my ears with gum.
Sure, you can get your fitness on at a gym, but I'd rather watch a movie to get svelte.

It's been 10 whole days of 5 am boot camp and afterward I am cranky and irritable and exhausted. When does the awesome kick in?

Following the closure of its two convalescent homes in Colwyn Bay, Medicash's plans will no longer cover payments towards rehabilitation at home and convalescence.
Another benefit, funeral plan expenses has been withdrawn due to circumstances beyond Medicash's control. Medicash's interim chief executive Susan Weir says: "Medicash first introduced funeral benefit in 1996. There are two reasons why we can no longer provide this, the first relates to the level of risk associated with this benefit for Medicash. In the past it was re-insured by a third party, when this party informed us that they were no longer in a position to re-insure this benefit we searched for an alternative provider and no-one was willing to take this on. Secondly, the Financial Services Authority defines insurance in various different categories. Funeral benefit is classed as life assurance and Medicash is a general insurer not a life assurance company. We took legal advice and were advised that it was no longer appropriate for us to offer funeral benefit. These factors have meant that it simply would not be responsible for us to continue to provide funeral benefit."

Beating the rain
Published at 09:06, Monday, 30 July 2012
RAIN will not stop play for golfers in Tynedale thanks to a new weather-beating scheme.
For golfers who fall victim to the rain at Matfen Hall will be invited back for a free round.
The gesture is open to all visiting players who pay the full rate green fee, and suffered rainfall for at least nine holes, or for two hours.
The scheme is designed to run until the end of August.
Matfen Hall's head professional John Harrison, said: "We know there are many frustrated golfers out there who have looked forward to playing and have just had their round washed out."

OSU Alums-What was your favorite part about graduation?
Eh. I'm on the "When its over" side. The graduation wasn't emotional to me. Packing up my truck and driving home for the last time was when it hit me. It was that "Wow its really over" moment. I stayed the summer after graduation but that morning in August when I came home was more emotional than the ceremony.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Also graduated in St John Arena. Getting my diploma was awesome - couldn't believe we had so many graduates, and yet when I walked across the stage, there was my diploma. But, the best thing was our speaker - Gerald Ford. He agreed to speak before he became President, and honored his commitment after he took office despite many advising to forgo the address. The entire experience was awesome.
Graduated last December. Gonna have to go with "when it was over." Standing for an hour in the auxiliary gym gave me a splitting headache, which lasted for the entire ceremony. Gee gave a good speech, though. The speaker was some cookie company CEO I'd never heard of. Unfortunately, Archie was in New York for the Heisman presentation.
The best part about graduation was the Mongolian Barbecue dinner with family afterwards. The emotion of the moment didn't really hit until the next day, when I had time to think about something other than my throbbing headache.
The North remembers.
Graduated in the Oval in 2001 so I am with all of you on not walking into the 'Shoe... My biggest regret... I had my hand on Eddie George's diploma and almost took it instead of my own. So wish I had Eddie's diploma. It would be hung on a wall as opposed to mine which is in a box in the basement.
I voted other, because when I graduated spring quarter of 1997, we were the first spring quarter class to not graduate in Ohio Stadium since World War II. We all walked over to the stadium from French Field House, but the skies opened up as the class entered the stadium and it poured rain for 45 minutes. By the time we ready were for the speeches, the speaker and microphone cabling was under 2 inches of water and cutting in out out. Everyone was soaked to the bone, so they moved the whole thing back to French Field House. We all gathered into pseudo-lines and received our diplomas from a box. We eventually all received a small pin in the mail of an umbrella over '97. So for me, I remember the rain :)
I graduated in 2001 as well. Bill Cosby was at the ceremony so I decided not to walk. Not that I have anything against him, but c'mon, Bill Cosby? My parents were so pissed because I skipped it. I was so burned out from finals and my senior project that I just wanted the whole damn thing to be over. Not to mention that I was really stressing about not having a job to go along with a ton of debt. Thankfully that didn't last long. It didnt' really hit me until the interview for my first job, which I'm still at. They asked questions about my courses, experience, etc, and they seemed impressed. I guess it all gets lost in the 4+ years of class and college life, but that degree really holds some weight. I proudly hang my diploma on my office wall.
Congratulations to the class of '12 and good luck in the real world.

97% of all data breaches could be avoided with consistent implementation of simple or intermediate controls.
-Verizon 2012 Data Breach Incident Report
Security is too complex and dynamic to manually identify the gaps that lead to breaches. Complexity emerges from the volume of control data (millions of rules and objects) and topological interactions between controls is beyond human comprehension. RedSeal uses Big Data techniques and methodologies to dynamically analyze large complex datasets to give you the right actionable intelligence.
RedSeal continuously analyzes your network security infrastructure to identify critical points of weakness, configuration flaws, and compliance violations that lead to breaches. Armed with this "security gap intelligence," RedSeal customers build world-class security operations that reduce attack risk every day.
Visualize Network Infrastructure Security
You Can't Secure What You Can't See
The first step in assessing the strength of your security infrastructure is understanding it. The RedSeal network map, policy diagrams, Risk Map, and flexible web-based reporting all visualize RedSeal security gap intelligence graphically and interactively. These visualizations cut through complexity to present the highest priority gaps in the context of business groups, policy standards, network topology, and overall business risk. RedSeal visualizations spare security analysts from tediously scanning log files, configuration files and interminable reports – they take you directly to actionable results.
Automate Compliance
Transform Painful Compliance Snapshots into an Effective Management Process
Compliance audits (PCI, NERC, etc.) are typically time-consuming snapshots that only cover a fraction of your actual infrastructure. In short, they can be an expensive waste of time. RedSeal compliance automation capabilities transform intermittent compliance pain into a much more cost-effective, ongoing operational process that drives better real-world security. Audit data collection, violation identification, remediation prioritization, and reporting are all automated. By delivering daily prioritized audit findings, RedSeal customers build ongoing operations that not only ensure compliance, but systematically reduce real attack risk.
Proactively Protect Against Cyber-Attack
Identify Your Most Critical Control Weaknesses – Every Day
The number one question that most security teams need answered is "Where are we most vulnerable to attack?" With a prioritized answer to that question, security can be run like a business. You can allocate limited security resources where they will deliver the best return. This is RedSeal's core mission. Which vulnerabilities are most exposed to the Internet? Are critical asset firewalls preventing non-essential traffic? RedSeal automatically answers these and many other critical attack defense questions on a daily basis. With RedSeal, security teams allocate resources, build processes, and take action to eliminate attack risk where needed most.

Glimpse inside the new GIMP
Polygonal Selection
Anyone who uses GIMP for graphics design or to chop objects from images will know how sorely polygon selection was missed from the selection tool armory. Now GIMP offers a basic polygon selection tool ( Free Select), probably the best polygon selection tool ever in any similar application. The refurbished tool allows a lot of flexibility in making the selection. For example, now it is possible to use the Free Select tool directly as a polygon selection tool by placing nodes and then clicking on the starting node to close the selection. Moreover, you can move the nodes you have placed – although this feature works only while the selection is being made. All you need to do is move the mouse over to a previously placed node, left-click and drag the node to move it, then left-click again to drop it at its new position (Figure 4).
Notice that if you drag the mouse button with the Free Select tool, it behaves like a drawing selection tool, whereas if you move the mouse button without dragging it, Free Select behaves like a polygonal selection tool. Also, you can mix both modes of selection in the same selection, making it very, very useful.
Transform Pivot
One minor but very useful feature in selections is the presence of a pivot point for the center of a selection or an image. As soon as you select Transform Tools on either a selection or a layer, GIMP places a cross-hair circle in the geometric middle of the layer or selection bound. That pivot point is used as the basis of rotation transformation (Figure 5). Now you have the ability to move it interactively and use that customized pivot point for rotation transformation.
Paint Me Differently
The paint toolset also gets revamped with the addition of brush dynamics (in the tool options). Graphics tablet users can now use the pressure and sensitivity parameters. The new brush dynamics tool option also introduces a new method of value input to GIMP in a new slider-cum-info bar option. This option allows you to see the currently selected value graphically like stairs (Figure 6a). Left-click on the selected value to bring out the slider to change the value. Brush scaling is also possible with bracket keys on the keyboard (Figure 6b).

Once upon a time I would have said integrating Gimp was a bad move. I love gimp and have a lot of scripts for converting and sizing. You tend to use individual tools of Gimp, so I have wondered sometimes should the pieces be seperated more at the GUI level, so that newer users realise that there is a lot you can do without even loading the whole program.
But actually I do like the integration, you can still script as we always did and the neater interface is nice.
But I wonder if it is as obvious to new users that there is still a lot you can do from the command line or through scripts, taks made for scripting, the old thumbnail and resized pic for your web site picture viewer. Or colour balancing enBatch.

Hong Kong 344 properties
Recommended for you in Hong Kong
Style Amidst the SkyscrapersOne of the world's busiest and most populated cities, Hong Kong is best-known for its stunning skyline with over 1200 skyscrapers and its "East meets West" cultural mix. With architecture and interior design influenced by feng shui and modern technology, this city is truly unique. Hong Kong offers plenty of interesting city and thematic tours, ranging from cuisine-oriented, to architecture, to nature. The latter is particularly fascinating as Hong Kong has many amazing mountain landscapes, marine parks and the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island is only a ferry ride away. Kowloon is a busy urban center near Victoria Harbour, where ferries are an excellent choice to see just how tall Hong Kong's buildings actually are. Excellent tax-free shopping can be found in high-class malls, boutiques and street markets. Hong Kongs' unique cultural fusion is clearly seen, tasted and heard in the local food, like dim sum from Maxim's Palace or hot pot from street vendors complimented local Cantopop music in the backgound. Arriving at Hong Kong International Airport you're only a short trip from the city centre. Whether you're staying in a chic hotel or a budget hostel, Booking.com has the perfect accommodation for your Hong Kong holiday. |

Glass is made when a mixture of sand, soda and lime is heated to very high temperature into a liquid state. But it doesn't form crystals as it cools, which means it can be molded into almost any desired shape, and it will hold that shape as it cools. Glass is typically very fragile and easy to break. But if it is spun into very tiny fibers, it becomes strong and flexible. That's why glass fibers are often added to materials to make them stronger.
Fiberglass is a composite material. A composite is any material made of more than one component, and therefore has properties of both. Glass fibers are embedded in certain polymers to make them stronger. Fiber-reinforced composites are both strong and light, often stronger than steel. Fiberglass is one such composite. In fiberglass, the glass fibers aren't arranged in any particular direction. By lining them all up in the same direction, scientists can make the composite stronger -- but only in that one direction.
To get stronger composites that can withstand stress from all directions, the fibers can be woven into a kind of fabric "net". Surrounding the fibers with a polymer helps hold the fibers together and also better absorbs force of impact, or stress, so the composite material is tougher than glass. The polymer also keeps the glass fibers from buckling when compressed.

Cheers to Dr. Chris Holland and the staff of Fayetteville Optometric Eye Clinic.
Recently, my right eye was in severe pain. Since my optometrist's office was closed, I started calling other optometrists.
Although Dr. Holland had seen his last patient for the day, the receptionist took my plea for help, and Dr. Holland agreed to wait for me. When I arrived 20 minutes later, he took care of me.
Because he had empathy, I enjoyed a blessed Christmas and 49th wedding anniversary.

Cheers to the person who found my diamond bracelet at Millstone 14 movie theater recently and turned it in. This meant a huge deal to me. I did not believe it would be there but had to check since this bracelet was a Christmas present from my mother-in-law many years ago. I was almost in tears after the lady handed me the bracelet. I really wish I could thank you in person. All I can say is God bless you.

Sorry for the double post. Hard OCP's multi-GPU, gameplay 8150 review http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/11/03/amd_fx8150_multigpu_gameplay_performance_review
I'm bacccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. [o_0]/ FX 6100 and asrock 970 extreme 3 on the way. Oc time on the cheap.
My buddy just got a Asrock 990FX board. Seems solid and looks great. He got it for $120. He's on a budget as well.
I love my AsRock 1155 board. I would of gone AsRock with my AMD rig, but I'm pretty much stuck on Asus when it comes to AMD.
Honestly, they've never let me down. With the exception of a few I've had issues with Gigabyte, AsRock and other brands with AMD in the past. I'm fully aware that brands have changed, but really I'm most likely just a bit stubborn with the whole thing. Plus, I liked my CH IV so much that it was a natural choice for me to go with teh CH V.
I agree, the short time I had my CH IV, I loved it. I just needed money and sold it. But if I was to buy another board for AM3+ it would most likely be the CH V. Never been let down by ASUS on my AMD rigs.
Also I am not sure how much you trust this. Nvidia hasn't build a driver for SLI with AMD in mind for nearly 8 years. Maybe, just maybe, using drivers designed specifically for Intel's architecture could have something to do with this. I would much rather see this done with dual ATI cards and an overclocked AMD FX-8150.
I usually go with higher end boards, and its usually ASUS as well. Their boards tend to give me the most solid performance and overclocking headroom. Now, I have used a cheap Biostar with a 2500k before and it OC'ed just as well as the $250 evga p67 ftw I had. But the reality is, with sandy bridge, the board isn't the limiting factor, its your multiplier wall. For AMD ht overclocking however, you usually have to pay to play. For now though, I'll be sticking to multiplier oc'ing with the $85 asrock board.
Guys people with the ASUS Crosshair V Formula board, can you try out the latest BIOS with the performance improvements.
Yes especially that "Update CPU Level up function". So what the Bulldozer's are not leveling up efficiently enough? Or perhaps it's doing a real bad job hence the results we've been getting. Speculation, until we can get a test(s) done.
I'll be reporting back sometime this weekend. My stuff should all be here tomorrow.. we'll see how it goes.
It's just basically an AUTO overclock setting and nothing important in terms of performance. 9911 is an "official" beta bios made by Asus. The ones like 9913 were done by a 3rd party.
I don't know if this is good or bad, but I will say this. This is a decent HT increase and CPU frequency for a $84 motherboard. THIS is what overclocking is about, THIS is why overclocking is fun. :] One crappy thing about this board though, is has a lot of vdroop. Example, if I set 1.5 in the BIOS, it ends up using 1.45 during load. LLC is on, with it off, its even worse. That's the bad thing about some low end boards.
That's a good score and a nice OC. Looks like Bulldozer needs higher clocks to really shine. Though server chips are faster at what they are good at. And this benchmark shows this. Hopefully Piledriver will be faster and with higher OC's.

We have lost. The giants and Gaea the earth mother have won the war. They took over the earth and monsters run rampant. Cities crumble as they fall into a state of decay. The gods have been enslaved, along with the mortals, and any other living beings. Earth has become a living hell. The mist no longer exists, mortals see the truth. They are aware of what has happened. All seems grim. However, a small group of demigods have survived and remain unfound. They hide in secret and prepare for round two. The obliteration of the giants and of Gaea. Monsters no longer regenerate, no need. They die once and stay dead. But, every monster ever to exist walks the planet among us. Giants can be killed. So can Gaea, but how will a group of eight fight that much evil? War is brewing. The strong stand with us. The weak bow and crumple in the face of onslaught. We are civilization's last hope. Failure is not an option.

I just had to check the house to make sure Ralphie is still here. Because for a minute there I thought he'd upped sticks and moved in with Kate and Wills. Headlines report the Royal pair have just adopted a black cocker spaniel puppy and this picture suggested Ralphie has been enjoying strolls on the beach with the Duke and Duchess. The cheek! Just kidding, it's a Ralphie lookalike and there seem to be a lot of them.
I saw a Ralphie being walked by someone in Newport Pagnell the other day, he was in today's Daily Mail and he features in a framed photo in Ikea, Milton Keynes. Honestly, what he gets up to while we're at work, God only knows.

NOTE: This months Teacher Feature is a guest column written by Meghan Wounded Head. Meghan is a high school English teacher in the Hamlin School District, and was part of one of the teams working to create sample items for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
Involvement, collaboration ease assessment concerns for South Dakota educator
Common Core Standard implementation is in full swing, and at my school district we are updating our current curriculum to align to the CCSS. Yet, a question for me remains: In the midst of adding rigor and text complexity to my curriculum, what is the assessment by which students will be measured?
I was able to answer my assessment concern when I attended the Initial Achievement Level Descriptor (ALD) drafting workshop for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. In short, a group of educators including K12 educators, specialists in curriculum and instruction, and content experts from each governing state collaborated to write rubric-like performance descriptors for each Common Core standard.
The highlight for me in my ALD experience is developing an understanding of the potential assessment for Common Core Standards. I feel it is important for me as an educator to know what the assessment could look like. And after seeing Smarter Balanced sample test items, I feel the test potential is amazing! (Click here to access.) I am taken aback at the possibilities of how children could be assessed. For me, it seems a much more authentic assessment with a truer measure of where students are as learners.
The ALD drafting workshop for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium was an excellent experience for me, as I collaborated with educators from various levels. I now have a firm grasp of college and career readiness expectations because of working with college professors. In addition, I further understand alignment as I was able to collaborate with 6-12 educators and content specialists in developing ALDs.
Finally, I look forward to the potential for an authentic measure of learning after seeing Smarter Balanced assessment possibilities. Overall, after the Smarter Balanced workshop, I feel positive that my implementation of CCSS is headed in the right direction, giving me a sense of confidence as I continue to lead my students to college and career readiness.

Thousands of people lined up for Ovechkin's autograph
Look at this. I got it from Pavel Lysenkov's tweet. At first I thought it was a joke, but Pavel replied it was no joke and suggested to read SovSport.ru.
Here it is:
Thousands of people lined up for an autograph. More than a thousand people gathered in the narrow aisle. The guards and the fences could hardly contain the crowd. During the session there are minor skirmishes, but guards still manage to avoid the jostle. Judging by the capacity of the narrow corridors one can get a treasured autograph maybe the next day, and in any case, there still will be a lot of unhappy people who won't get it.Un-freaking-belivable... :-)
The organizers couldn't imagine how many people were wishing to get an autograph or take pictures with the idol. That's why a gigantic line gathered in the hallway of the arena. It almost came to a jostle.
In addition, as the third period has just started, the police roughly pushed the fans, and Alexander Ovechkin took his place on the podium, while several hundred people were cut. Some of them confessed that they got in line in the first period.
Update: More from Moscow Dynamo web site:
Here's the video of crowd for Ovechkin's autograph. Crazy.
Here's more from Nicholas Cotsonika, Yahoo Sports writer, who was actually at the game:
There were hundreds of people, actually thousands. They had come to see one of their modern Russian hockey heroes, Alex Ovechkin, only to find he wasn't playing because of illness – only to find they would be able to see him, anyway.
The announcement came during the second period of Dynamo Moscow's game against Dinamo Riga on Monday night: Ovechkin, the locked-out captain of the Washington Capitals, would be signing autographs on the second-floor concourse during intermission. Even though it was a one-goal game, the stands emptied immediately. The fans lined up behind metal barricades. They leaned over the third-floor overhang, knowing they would have no chance to meet him there, but a better chance to see him.
They waited.
And then there he was, surrounded by three guards, wearing his white No. 32 Dynamo jersey and stylishly ripped jeans. Ovechkin waded through the crowd and waved. He took a picture with a kid in a wheelchair. Then he signed, and signed, and signed, and signed. Little kids. Old ladies. Grown men. He signed hats and scarves and shirts and jerseys. He signed pictures and programs and whatever else a marker could mark.
It was very cool. Maybe Ovechkin passed along some germs – sounds like bronchitis, and Mikhail said he's supposed to be out a week – but it was worth it.
Ovechkin signed as fast as he could. He posed for picture after picture. The guards barked at people to keep moving. When the intermission ended, Mikhail whisked him away. He didn't get to everyone – not even close – but there was no way he could have. Not unless he wanted a serious hand cramp. Not unless Dynamo didn't care if anyone watched the third period.

Jon Hare: 3DS "is just a hardware gimmick which might do well"
MegaLo Mania, Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer designer Jon Hare has trolled the 3DS, describing stereoscopic 3D as "a hardware gimmick" and criticising big budget production's focus on showy graphics over design.

Jagex appoints Jon Hare as head of publishing
Jagex Games Studio announced today that Jon Hare has joined the company as Head of Publishing, with a particular focus on further developing FunOrb.com, Jagex's gaming website targeted at time-pressed gamers.
"Jon is one of the most highly rated game designers in Europe and has had a hugely successful career developing classic titles such as Sensible Soccer, Mega-Lo-Mania and Cannon Fodder," said Mark Gerhard, Jagex CEO.
"Jon will be playing a very hands-on role, actively engaged in developing and optimizing all of our games. Jagex has always focused on creating games that we want to play, FunOrb is no different. We have specifically created FunOrb for the time-pressured gamer, people who want a high quality deep gaming experience but only have 30 minutes a day or perhaps even a week to relax and enjoy playing.
"The site isn't for kids or for mums; it is designed for adult gamers who ask themselves 'why don't they make great games like they used to?'."
Hare has developed more than 30 games on over 20 formats from Sinclair Spectrum to the Nintendo Wii, and was named one of the top 10 Britons who changed the games industry by The Times.

I am selling my desktop to a friend for 700$. I am going to need to rebuild. Im gonna need a whole entire computer. I need it to be about 700$ with shipping. I game a good bit. My monitor will be a 22'' 1680x1050. Im open to do AMD or Intel. Same way with Nvidia or ATI. Please help .
AMD/ATI will fit your price the best... go for Phenom II & Radeon 5770/5890... you'll have to get a cheaper case, because you should also get a good power supply and motherboard. Newegg is the place to be. Antec 300 $60 Asus M4A77 Mobo $79 Corsair 550W $80 G Skill 4GB Ram $105 Phenom II 940 $150 Caviar Blue 300GB Hdd $48 Radeon 4850 $124 =$648+ shipping (est $25 to NY) minus video card is 525 plus shipping (550) you can get a 4850 for 125, but im not seeing a 5850 for less than 300 - so you'll be closer to 900 at the end than 700
Heres a combo Newegg has listed. Might be a good base to start with. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.319352
Buy my 965BE AM3 is the way to go for gaming Athlon X4 if you are on tight budget. Im tired of looking at these parts on my desk (if you couldn't tell).
id say intel dual core or AMD x3 720 terms of GPU in your price range 5770 something like Case generic $50 DVD drive generic $20 CPU cooler: Xiggy s1283 $35 CPU x3 720BE $120 oem mobo Asus M4A79XTD evo $110 gpu 5770 $170 PSU corsair 550vx $80 HDD pick something $60 Ram pick something $100 4gigs OS : win 7 64bit $100 not really in your budget but a good base line to work with
well then that means the above is pretty damn close to what you need the above is roughly $745 without shipping get a antec PSU and look at some combo deals and mail in rebates and your good to go http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022 OCZ psu 550 watt mail in rebate = $44 for it half the price of the corsair means $710 roughly and it seems the 720 has dropped to $109 so thats $11 less so $699 haha hells yea im on a roll woot Coolermaster Hyper 212+ $29.99 brings us in at $694 His 5770 is $162 so $8 less again so $686 im pretty sure you can get it all to fit good luck Charper
id go with the fa1ality or w/e PSU to save another $40 and get a the tricore with aftermarket cooling id also go with the ANtec 300 illusion as it comes with 5 fans 3 120s and 2 140mms for about $5 less
telling you man get the Antec 300 illusion has 5 fans and its $60 that gives you $30 leeway because that CPU is an OEM meaning your gonna need a heatsink and fan
Ok. Good idea. What do you think about the 4850 downgrade? EDIT: The Illusion has 15$ shipping which is only 10$ cheaper than the scout....
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...129066&cm_re=ANTEC_300-_-11-129-066-_-Product that case id keep the current GPU as it will overclock to 4890 speeds meaning DX11 + low power requirments http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._fatal1ty_power_supply-_-17-341-022-_-Product that PSU has a huge rebate meaning more savings
The rebates mean nothing to me. I dont usually bother with them.. And the thermaltake is a better psu.
well suit yourself but decent psu for $44 is better then $70 also allows you to keep the better GPU trying to get biggest bang for buck here
See lemme explain better. No matter what the rebate is, the problem is I wont have the money to buy the thing. So when I spend that type of money if I have a better option I want to take that.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...re=phenom_ii_processor-_-19-103-674-_-Product I can get that if I downgrade to 4850 temporarily. EDIT: In my last posting of my cart I didnt include a heatsink so I will have to downgrade to 4850 to get that AMD proc with the stock heatsink.
yea do that then and get the $99 sapphire 4850 (512mb) since your resolution is 1680x1050 the 512mb should be alright till you can upgrade to something better later

Welcome to e.metaclarity.org.
This is a blog. It is shiny and new. It's about whatever I deem it to be about at any given time; I will try to keep it interesting to at least some non-trivial subset of the population; this subset may change from post to post.
Let me start by introducing myself: Hi, my name is Eike. I'm a computer and computer science fanatic. I'm a guy. I'm 27 years of age. I've done some stuff and missed some other stuff.
Since this is not MySpace, I'll not delve into all my likes and dislikes. Suffice it to say I have them. Some of them I will shed some light on in this blog.
I'll be writing posts and pages in English for the most part — meaning that a German one could slip in every now and then. Don't hold that against me, Google Translate, Yahoo Babelfish, etc. can help you understand the text next to the pretty pictures.
This site is part of metaclarity, a collection of blogs by different people. We all know one another, though that is not to say we are alike.
If you would like to comment on something I write, feel free to. Depending on the level of spam and abuse, comments may be moderated or disabled at any given time. Please try to make your comments useful to other readers and keep them on topic. While I certainly appreciate criticism and praise, they alone are not very interesting to anybody but myself unless they are constructive or add something new. If you just want to talk to me, contact me directly. Comments may be censored, edited, deleted, etc.; if you cannot agree with that, post on your own blog or do not comment here, please.

Behind the KOffice split
Posted Dec 15, 2010 8:18 UTC (Wed) by ingwa (subscriber, #71149) [Link]
In the case with KOffice / Calligra and Nokia, the code is developed inside the main repository and committed one bugfix or feature at a time. For new features and complex bugfixes there is a review process using the KDE review board.
The situations have almost nothing in common.

For now?
Since you seem to know the situation well, could you please remind us what are the respective licences of all these?
Posted Dec 15, 2010 14:50 UTC (Wed) by ingwa (subscriber, #71149) [Link]
Regarding licenses, the majority of Calligra is under LGPL with some small parts under GPL. All code contributions so far have been under LGPL.

I think most people are missing the point here. For KHTML, the code was copied from the KDE repository by Apple and then developed away from the community for a long time until it was released as a big code dump with so many changes that it was basically impossible to merge back into the main branch.

"Don't look now but" the Detroit Pistons are building a wave of momentum.
With all of the talent they put together over the summer, it would take a minute for this team to gel. It's still extremely early in the year, but there are plenty of signs already pointing to a bright future for this franchise. The NBA is a game of runs, and Detroit is slowly hitting a stride.
The Pistons are coming off of three straight victories pushing them to a 9-10 record. Each victory having a special significance by blowing out the Philadelphia 76ers at home, then winning back-to-back road games against the defending champion Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks.
During these victories, Detroit has jumped out to fast starts including 40 first quarter points against the Sixers and holding a double-digit first quarter lead against Miami.
Not only are the Pistons starting off hot, but they're learning to close out basketball games. The double-digit road leads against Miami and Milwaukee were challenged, but Detroit found a way to answer every run. Whether it's a clutch Brandon Jennings triple, or a put-back by Andre Drummond, this team is growing and learning to close out games.
Detroit's roster is one of the youngest in the NBA with an average age of 25.5 years and only 3.9 seasons of experience. Not only are they young, this is a brand new roster with only one returning starter.
A 9-10 record is nothing to throw a party for, especially in the Eastern Conference. Only two teams in the East have a winning record (Indiana, Miami) and the rest have a .500 or losing record. But for a brand new team like Detroit, around now is when you expect their identity to start taking shape.
If you're not completely sold on the Pistons quite yet, there's one piece everybody is on board for, and his name is Andre Drummond.
After slowly making strides his rookie year off the bench, the second year center has emerged as the next big thing in the NBA. Drummond absolutely dominates the paint averaging 13.5 points and shooting a league best 64.6-percent from the field. He also lives around the rim grabbing 12.8 rebounds a game, including a league best 4.9 offensive boards.
Drummond's athleticism as a 6-10 270-pound 20-year-old is off the charts, but it's complimented by a unique hustle you don't see often from NBA big men. Similar to Pistons legend Ben Wallace, you see Drummond pressuring point guards off of inbound passes creating turnovers for the Pistons. Detroit leads the NBA with 9.9 steals a game, and Andre Drummond is a big reason why.
The effort shown from a kid like Drummond is prime for a young team like Detroit.
Drummond anchors the strong point of this Pistons team, being the frontcourt. Drummond and forwards Josh Smith and Greg Monroe was the biggest experiment for Detroit to figure out because of their size, skillset and floor spacing. The Pistons lead the NBA with 14.1 offensive rebounds, and keep life alive on second chance scoring because of those big bodies down low.
The biggest X-factor this season was newly acquired point guard Brandon Jennings. He's been able to prove he's a good enough passer averaging 8.4 assists a game, 5th best in the NBA.
Before the start of the season, I mentioned Jennings needs to play slower in half-court sets and faster in the full court. Thus far, one of those tasks has been mastered.
Courtesy of Jennings, the Pistons are tied for 4th in fast break points averaging 17.1. Jennings makes his best decisions in space and on the run. He's been able to find his teammates in the open floor. He's budding a great bond with Drummond and Josh Smith.
Jennings is one of the biggest risk takers in the NBA. While some of his shot selection is a complete enigma, Jennings somehow finds a way to make big plays when the Pistons need them most. He's only shooting 38-percent, but he's knocked down clutch jumpers in pivotal moments. He's not a great defender with his feet, but he has some of the quickest hands in the NBA. Lebron James learned that first-hand Tuesday.
Outside of the stars, the Pistons have found improving play from role players like Rodney Stuckey, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Kyle Singler. Stuckey has been one of the most dangerous 6th men in the league averaging 16.2 points.
This team still has a long way to go, and plenty of improvements to make. The Pistons can't establish themselves in the NBA shooting a league worst 67.1-percent from the free throw line. They also goat themselves into foul trouble going for too many blocks and being unable to defend the paint.
19 games in, you have to be encouraged by what the Pistons have displayed. It's a long road to the postseason, and a tough December schedule looming. But stretches like these will test the character and progression of Detroit.
