Gaming News: Ninja Gaiden 3 Splits Critics Down The Middle
The first reviews for Ninja Gaiden 3 are in and – somewhat unusually – initial verdicts on the game are completely mixed. With reports surfacing on the web you'd expect to have some idea whether the game is a must-purchase or not. And yet, critical opinion on the recent edition in the Ninja Gaiden franchise is entirely divided, with no-two reviews being the same. IGN's Mitch Dyer has delivered the most notable panning,...

What are some non-surgical treatments for snoring?The main categories of non-surgical treatment of snoring are:
Behavioral changes Behavioral changes are the easiest to identify, but some of the hardest to accomplish. For example, if a person gains ten pounds, his or her snoring may become a problem. It is easy to tell a person to lose the ten pounds, but it is difficult to accomplish. Behavioral changes include weight loss, changing sleeping positions, avoiding alcohol, smoking cessation, and changing medications that may be the cause of snoring. Losing weight may improve snoring. Snoring usually is worse when lying flat on the back, as discussed previously. To help this problem, a pocket can be sewn into the back of the snorer's pajama tops. A tennis or golf ball in the pocket will "encourage" the snorer to roll over to sleep on his/her side. Alcohol or sedative medications make snoring worse, and therefore should be avoided. Dental devices As previously discussed, snoring is exacerbated by normal airflow through a narrowed area in the throat. Part of the narrowing is caused by the tongue and palate falling back during sleep. Some dental devices have been developed that hold the jaw forward. Since the tongue is attached in the front to the jaw, the tongue also is held forward when these devices are used. Some devices are designed to hold the palate up and forward. All dental devices (similar to a mouthpiece) are best made by a dentist to ensure a correct fit without causing problems. These devices may improve snoring in 70% to 90% of cases. There are some drawbacks to dental devices, however. They must be worn every night in order to work, can cause or exacerbate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, can cause excessive salivation, and can be moderately expensive. The available data on some of these devices revealed both subjective and objective improvement in snoring. These devices may be appropriate and recommended for those individuals with primary snoring or mild obstructive sleep apnea who did not benefit or did not qualify for the aforementioned behavioral changes. Nasal devices and medications For people with narrow nasal passages, snoring can be alleviated with nasal devices or medications. Breath-rite strips open the anterior nasal valve (front part of the nose). If this is the main or only area of narrowing, snoring may improve with use of these strips, but this is frequently not the case. If nasal mucosal (lining) swelling from allergies or irritation is causing the problem, nasal sprays may help. Nasal saline irrigation spray is a way to clean and moisturize the nasal lining since environmental irritants that stay in the nose (dust, pollen, and smoke) continue to irritate as long as they are present. The nasal lining also swells when it is cold and dry. Nasal saline helps to wash away irritants and moisturizes the mucosa without side effects. Other nasal sprays that may be used to improve nasal breathing include nasal steroid sprays and nasal decongestants. They are very helpful for swelling due to minor allergies or irritation. Steroid sprays decrease inflammation in the nasal passages. Very little of the steroid is absorbed into the body from the nose so there are few side effects with these sprays. Nasal decongestants that shrink the blood vessels in the turbinates also can be used to improve snoring that results from nasal congestion. These measures may also be helpful for people who only snore when they have upper respiratory infections or colds, which typically cause swelling of the airway passages. Nasal CPAP CPAP or continuous positive airway pressure is a device that is commonly used in patients with a clinical diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. This device works by providing a constant, increased air pressure to prevent airway narrowing during inspiration and expiration. It entails wearing a mask that is connected by tubing to a pump that keeps the pressure of the inspired air at a higher than normal level. This device has proven to cause subjective and objective improvement of snoring and other symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. The air pressures are adjusted individually for each patient based on their parameters of a sleep study. The main problem with CPAP is that the CPAP machine is bulky, noisy, and possibly uncomfortable for patients to wear all night, every night. Therefore, patient adherence to the use of CPAP often is not optimal. Over-the-counter products for snoring There are many other simple over the counter products available to help with snoring. Generally, they may not be scientifically studied and recommended. They may be useful in some people subjectively. Regardless, if snoring exists, then it needs to be fully evaluated by a physician to assure that there is no underlying potential medical condition and to choose a proven method of treatment.

At a time when I have 6 young kids at home and during a week where I felt like I couldn't take another minute unlike any other time in my life, I ordered this and instantly felt CALM wash over me as I read the first few chapters. Much like I was visiting with a real friend who understood right here in my living room. God has spoken peace to my heart through this book. Period. It is simply amazing. No other mentor, church resource, friend, or family member has ever touched me regarding Motherhood like this book! A must-read for any Mom, especially those who may feel a little overwhelmed! I will certainly be recommending it and passing it along to all my "Mom" friends :)
Good book for the weary mom (me included). It is a quick read, but it does leave you feeling the pressure for comparison to the authors. We each have a journey...their perfect worlds are not mine exactly.
I wish I'd had this book seventeen years ago when my kids were young. Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson have discovered a heartbeat of moms that I haven't seen much on book shelves. This book is different because it isn't one woman telling other moms how to be a "better" mom. There are no lists of ideas to try, or new recipes that all kids will eat, or discipline that works! This book is DIFFERENT. My favorite thing about Desperate is Sarah Mae's crystal-clear honesty. She shares her heart openly - even the stuff we don't like to say out loud. Like, "I just can't be a mother today." "I just want to be alone ..." "Lately it's been easier to put on the T.V. than put on being a good mother." "I am so selfish! Every day I see it in myself more and more." "When my life feels overwhelming, I escape to the Internet." The second thing I love about Desperate is Sally Clarkson's wisdom shared within her own failures turned into victories. Each chapter starts with an exchange of letters between the two women - Sarah sharing her heart and asking for help. Then Sally counters with words of godly wisdom, encouragement and all are completely bathed in "been-there-done-that." There are also times after each chapter to open scripture and speak openly with God with your own personal struggles and ways to re-think them. Could be used as a group study of women together. In the end of the book are twenty-two pages of Q&A with Sally and Sarah. I loved hearing other moms express their questions from the heart that make me feel so "normal". My fears and questions are actually felt by others out there. And that may be the greatest reason to buy this book and pass it on to every mom you know - so not one mom ever feels she is not normal. There is also a special note of attention for single moms included. Thanks to Thomas Nelson for allowing me a free copy in exchange for my honest review.
Wonderful book. Must pass on to al young desperate mothers. So encouraging. Highly recommend it.

Over 30 students and teachers from The Language Connection and the Center for Professional Education posted their global experiences on the "Wall of Impressions" in the atrium. During the celebration, passersby could be seen reading and commenting on the postings on the "Wall." A panel discussion was also held in which students Alhanouf Altaimani and Yijie Mei from The Language Connection, along with graduate assistant Shari Elcock and resident assistant Dylan Orr, shared their experiences about "unexpected friendships" with people from other cultures and how it had changed their perceptions.

Great DrivePros: Super fast. Cons: Requires an additional hard drive for storage. Other Thoughts: Bought this SSD on christmas for 130$. For the price and spec's it is one of the best deals I've seen in a while. Threw this SSD into my Asus G74SX. After about 3 hours of installing a clean windows 7 and driver hunting, its running extremely smoothing. Cold booting in 20 seconds, waking from sleep in under 2 seconds. Ridiculous. Did you find this review helpful? |

(came with a sticker that says "My SSD is faster than your HDD" lol) Cons: None. Can't wait for SSD's to get larger in size. 1TB+ would be nice, too bad they're all $2,000 or more Other Thoughts: This is my first SSD and it didn't disappoint! These things truely make a difference. Full system reboot in under 30 seconds (Windows8). Haven't owned it long enough to run performance tests yet, but I've noticed a considerable difference in load times in everything. Perfect solution for reducing load times and quick rendering for Gamers, Video Editors (especially if you're editing in 1080p), and Studio recording.

Q: When is the tax-free weekend for energy-efficient appliances? - M.S., St. Pauls
A: North Carolina's annual sales tax holiday on the purchases of certain energy-efficient appliances is always the first full weekend of November.
This year, that'll be Nov. 1-3.
The tax holiday applies to sales of certain appliances that qualify for the Energy Star rating, including washing machines, freezers, refrigerators, air conditioners, air-source and geothermal heat pumps, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers and programmable thermostats.
Meanwhile, the sales tax holiday for the purchase of school-related items is always the first full weekend of August - Aug. 2-4 this year.
Exempt from sales taxes that weekend are clothing, footwear and school supplies under $100 each, sports and recreation equipment under $50, computers under $3,500 and computer supplies under $250.
Note: You'll still get taxed that weekend on such items as food, cosmetics, jewelry and furniture.
For more info, check www.dornc.com/taxes/sales/ salestax_holiday.html.
Q: I saw the item about the person asking about remedies for cluster headaches. My late mother suffered from these debilitating headaches and tried everything without relief - until a local neurologist referred her to another neurologist who did acupuncture treatment. She said it cured her. - L.H., Eastover
A: Thanks for letting us know about her experience, L.H.
L.H. said her mother had the treatment about 13 years ago and was free of cluster headaches until her death about five years ago.
She said the treatment also seemed to greatly reduce the number of migraines that her mother had suffered from since childhood.
Cluster headaches are not the same thing as migraines, though they're sometimes called "cluster migraine" headaches.
L.H. said her mother started experiencing cluster headaches when she was about 53 and said they were far worse than any migraine she'd ever experienced.
L.H. said her mother received acupuncture from Dr. Richard Serano at Highland Neurology.
Other readers have posted suggestions and information about cluster headaches in the comments section of the June 25 column in question, which you can find at fayobserver.com/help/ staff/catherine-pritchard, and at Live Wire's Facebook page, facebook.com/FOLiveWire.

Because the conventional lending markets become much less and less willing to buy startups, angel and early stage investors are getting more and more important to businesses. The banks continue to maintain credit tight, and individuals with excellent business ideas are finding it quite hard to find startup capital or early stage business growth cash. That's where angel investors have been shown to be invaluable because they match a market need for company backing. As the investor gets a chance to make higher returns since the company receives the necessary cash it's a win-win situation.
Meeting Financial Challenges
Securing the appropriate level of funds for business startup is really one of the very difficult challenges every business and every new business must make do with at some stage. For this reason investors hunting for higher returns are really so important in any market but particularly within an economic slowdown. The tight credit market has resulted in the growing significance of bringing new businesses and private investors together, which is where angels enter.
These investors are eager to put money into new companies understanding they have a better chance of getting a higher rate of return than could be made in the conventional markets. The investor receives the required rate of return along with the company receives the capital it desires. They're called "angels" because they are prepared to purchase brand-new businesses which do not have a monetary history yet or have not been analyzed in the market.
There were about 25,200 company owners financed by angels.

The Library at the Scarlet - home to the new Scarlet Book Club
Scarlet manager Nikki Broom has had an – ahem - novel idea: start a book club at the Scarlet.
We're inviting any fiction fanatics that may be lurking in the environs of Mawgan Port – and further afield for bibliophiles prepared to travel – to join us in the Scarlet Library once a month for some literary loquaciousness.
Relentless reader Jane Costin has volunteered to facilitate the meetings.
She said: "I worked at many different jobs before I discovered my passion for English literature, which I studied as a mature student.
"While I really enjoy reading and writing about books, these are both solitary occupations giving me no opportunity to discuss what I have read with other, like-minded people.
"So, I was enthusiastic about Nikki's idea of starting a book club at the Scarlet. I thought that talking about books in the comfortable surroundings of the library would be a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon."
We would like to suggest the first meeting at 2pm in the Scarlet Library on Thursday 27th September 2012.
Jane will help the group agree a reading list and agree times for further meetings and the format you might like them to take.
There is no charge to join or attend the Scarlet Book Club, but you might treat yourselves to some tea and cake whilst you are here.
Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know if you are able to attend on the 27th September.
Please bring suggestions for the reading list to the first meeting.

Cornwall Food & Drink
What could be a better treat than an evening at The Scarlet, perched on the North Cornish coast, just as the English summer finally decided to arrive?
With the sun bathing the hotel in a magical light and pouring through every window as we arrived, it was the perfect backdrop for the hotel's Natural Wine Evening, the first in a series of informal, topical get-togethers for residents and non-residents.
Not knowing quite what to expect – "What is a natural wine exactly – isn't all wine natural?" "And what happens on a natural wine evening? " - we soon found out that there was much more to the subject and the evening than we had expected, with an informative tasting session to be followed by dinner created by the talented new Head Chef Tom Hunter.
If we had worried that the evening would be dominated by very 'worthy' types who take life very seriously (there's nothing wrong with that but it's not necessarily what you look for on a night out), we needn't have done so, the announcement from some of the other guests, "We're not your normal eco-warriors," proving to be the under-statement of the evening.
These were gals who clearly liked to have fun and managed to provide plenty of entertainment!
So what are natural wines and why are they worthy of their own special evening at The Scarlet? In the first part of the evening led by the hotel's wine specialist, Meeche Hudd and co-hosted by Lucy Cornes of Ellis Wharton Wines (specialists in natural wines and suppliers of all the wines for the evening) guests learned that, typically, they are made by natural methods with minimal intervention, in small vineyards.
Some of the winemakers may employ organic methods; others follow biodynamic principles; while others simply use time-honoured practices - and many merge all these processes together. The result is often a wine that much better reflects the individual characteristics of the terroir and is light on sulphites.
Logically, one can assume their carbon footprint and environmental impact is also light, but this subject is such a minefield (is it environmentally friendly to import relatively small volumes of these wines to Cornwall rather than them being consumed closer to their place of production?) that it tends to be less of a focus than the quality and individuality of the wines.
Guests were then treated to a blind tasting session, comparing natural wines with some of their more mass-produced counterparts. Of the two reds and a white that were tasted, amazingly all the natural wines came out as the preferred choice. And the wines used for comparison were the best equivalents too. This is a really forceful argument against those who claim that commercialisation, mass production and 'modern' methods have produced better quality, more quaffable wines.
Next it was time for the fizz - and wow, this was the moment we decided we were glad we'd come! The first was Mas de Daumas Gassac Frizzant, from the Languedoc region, made entirely from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. A naturally sparkling rosé bought in 1971, this was an absolute delight to the senses, the bubbles just lightly tickling the tongue and flavours perfectly balanced. This was (for me) like trying on a dress that you fall in love with immediately because you know it's such a perfect fit and you could happily wear it (drink it) all the time.
The second, Champagne Philipponnat Le Clos des Goisses Brut, was served alongside Tom's exquisite canapés – smoked salmon and crème fraiche; spring vegetable tempura; Cornish crab arancini. From one of few surviving walled vineyards (this is what the 'Clos' within the name means, although most other 'Clos' you come across retain the name despite having lost their walls), the anticipation attached to the opening of this Champagne was palpable. The vineyard is just 5.5 hectares and has a huge reputation, using the knowledge acquired over generations to make wine that is aged in their caves for 8 to 10 years before being released.
We were trying a bottle from the year 2000 and neither Meeche nor Lucy had tried the wine previously. I have no idea what the price of this wine must be but I'm sure it's not something you just open a bottle of to make sure it's OK. It didn't disappoint, despite being a complete surprise. Very truffley and earthy on the nose, it was much lighter on the palate than I'd anticipated; all Champagne of this quality that I'd tried previously had been much richer and more lingering in flavour.
Dinner followed, each course created by Tom to match the wines rather than the wines being paired with the food. In this, he really excelled. Little touches, like the crisp green apple flavour accompanying the wonderfully cooked scallop starter reflecting the sharp crispness of the Verdicchio, made all the difference. Even the belly pork and venison main course, which we at first thought too rich for the rather light and slightly chilled Frappato that accompanied it, proved to be exactly right – the lightness cutting through the fattiness of the pork where something heavier might have had us sliding under the table by that point.
Finally, the dessert wine, a lovely fruity and sparkling Moscato, proved a much better bedfellow for the vanilla panna cotta with raspberries, pear and a little touch of thyme than a more typical fortified pudding wine such as Muscat de Beaumes de Venise. This proved to be one of the hits of the evening, due to its sheer drinkability, despite its sweetness; Meeche's claim that she could "drink this all night" being echoed around the table.
So, how would I sum up the evening?
− The fact that we nattered all the way home meant we'd discovered lots to chat about.
− We found The Scarlet a really relaxed place to dine and all the staff are extremely welcoming.
− Tom Hunter is now top of my 'one to watch' list of Cornish Chefs.
− Natural wines can be fantastic – but I have no idea how much they cost.
− Taking some time to match a wine well with food (or getting someone to do it for you) makes all the difference to your enjoyment of both.
When's the next evening?

Here are a few of the said lovely ladies enjoying a lounge on The Terrace.
The champagne, conversation and laughter flowed.
While the ladies coiffed champagne and sipped their Tregothnan tea, they all got to listen to some great music from Jonny Fenner AND raise money for a very important cause: Breast Cancer Care.
The strawberry cream cakes proved a big hit too.
Thank you Meeche for organizing such a brilliant afternoon.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 10:57 p.m. Monday, Aug. 20, 2012
By Jamie Dupree
Even as President Obama and Mitt Romney tangled on Monday in their battle for the White House, my thoughts were focused on upcoming trips to Tampa and Charlotte for the Republican and Democratic conventions.
It's a familiar political trip for me to plan, as this year will mark my 12th and 13th national political conventions - my first was covering the 1988 Democratic convention in Atlanta.
The trips usually feature a variety of security headaches and frustrating technical troubles, mixed together with long hours and a general lack of news.
But my colleagues and I still look forward to hopping on the plane to join the madness every four years.
On Monday, I started sending out the obligatory emails to state party organizations, trying to touch base and lay the groundwork to visit the hotels of the four state delegations that I will cover from Georgia, Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma - the states where my radio stations are located.
One of the most enjoyable things about a convention is to go the hotel where your state delegates are staying, and troll for interviews in the lobby or just outside.
Sometimes you get lucky and run into the Governor who is going out for a jog, stumble into someone you need to talk to completely by accident, or just see old friends who are chasing delegates as well.
Maybe that's why my eyebrows went up a little on Monday when I was told by officials at the Georgia Republican Party that none of their gatherings outside of the convention hall would be open to the press.
I can understand that some convention events aren't meant for pesky reporters like me, but the daily morning breakfast gatherings of delegates at the state delegation hotel have been part and parcel of my rounds since I covered my first political convention back in 1988.
But the Georgia GOP wasn't handing over any kind of meeting schedule to me, making it clear that if I wanted to talk to any of their delegates, I had to email the state party and ask permission.
Here were the guidelines, sent out in an email on Monday afternoon after my inquiry:
• Who are you requesting for an interview? • What date and time (EDT)? • What is the topic of this interview? • What type of interview (recorded TV, live TV, newspaper, etc.)? • If not a telephone interview, what is the proposed location for your interview? • Other pertinent information, if any.
Of course, these "criteria" issued by the Georgia Republican Party made me furrow my brow, roll my eyes and shake my head, as the curmudgeonly reporter in me immediately thought of a number of snarky replies.
It's okay - I know what hotel the Georgia folks are staying at in Tampa. And I'm sure someone will be nice enough to accidentally tell me what time state delegates are having breakfast.
Meanwhile on the Democratic side, I'm still waiting to see if the party will give me a parking space near the convention site in Charlotte.
It would be helpful to have a place to park when I drive in before sunrise each day - and hey - the convention starts in two weeks time, you know.
My GOP parking spot cost the company $150, and if any Charlotte 2012 people are reading this, we are willing to fork over a similar amount at the Democratic convention.
If not, I guess I will be looking for a bus or cab to get me close to the venue. One more convention headache to deal with.
Earlier this month I experienced something new, when the hotel where I had made a reservation in Tampa called me to say that my reservation did not exist anymore.
It seems that my hotel was one brand when I made my reservation late last year, but in the interim it was sold to another hotel chain, and for some reason, my reservation wasn't transferred over to the new chain's computer system.
Luckily, I found another hotel, even as at least a dozen listeners and readers offered up housing in their own Tampa area homes and condos.
I thank you for the offers.
It reminded me that for my first convention in 1988 in Atlanta, I slept on a living room couch. Back then, I was working for a shoestring news service, and the boss happened to have a friend in Atlanta who put us up at his house.
There was no rental car, so every morning before dawn, I walked down the street to catch the bus.
To cover my bus, cab and food expenses for the week in Atlanta, the boss gave me $150 up front - he said whatever I did not spend, I could keep.
Considering that I was making $250 a week before taxes at the time, it was an offer I couldn't refuse, as I ended up coming home with about half of the boss' cash.
So, while I may grouse about the inherent troubles of covering a convention, I can't wait to get to Tampa and Charlotte.
And I can't wait to get home either.

Hey guys I saw this awesome deal on a Ultra X3 1000W PSU> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4267989&Sku=ULT40311 I'm thinking of getting it! I didn't bother reading reviews yet and decided to come straight to TPU for advice. Is this a good choice?
It seems alright, but the it only has 1 12v rail, it does have a good 70amps on it but still I think you could find a better one,alot of good quality PSU's come with at least 2 12v rails depending on the model, up to you man. My Corsair HX1000W is a awesome PSU, its got all the right specs and its gonna last me a long time which is good. try looking for that one but most likely it will be more expensive then that ultra but I do think its still a good purchase, I wouldnt do tri SLI or anything higer than that on a single 12v rail even though its 70amps, Im not a PSU pro but Im still learning like everyone else, anyways i hope this helps.
More 12v rails doesn't make a PSU better. It's all about the amps. A single, high amperage 12v rail is the best solution (all power can be fully accessed). Ultra is usually a low-end brand but maybe their top-end stuff is better. EDIT: The $159 Corsair 850TX has same 12v rating, and a few more amps on +5v and +3.3v, but no modular cabling.
I've always had my eyes set on Corsair and $150 is at the top of my budget for psu. I was originally going to get this> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-_-Power Supplies-_-Corsair Memory-_-17139009, but the Ultra is "full" modular and more watts.
Yeah that's what I was wondering.....I didn't want too jump in and buy just because it was half off. I think 1000W might be a bit overkill for my new setup (in progress). Modular would nice, but maybe I'll just stick with my first choice- the TX850W.
They aren't fudging the Watts, they just throw a lot of extra Amperage to the 3.3 and 5 volt rails, I guess technically it's padding the wattage but a lot of companies do it. Ultra PSUs are reliable though.
Also the good thing about Tigerdirects deal is no tax and free shipping. I am stuck between these 3: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4267989&Sku=ULT40311 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-_-Power Supplies-_-Corsair Memory-_-17139009 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-_-Power Supplies-_-Corsair Memory-_-17139010
Corsair underrates their PSUs. Don't worry, I have a Cosrair PSU. But I will spend the money on a modular one on my next system. The cables coming off this thing are ridiculous.
I'm not bashing Ultra, I was just presenting some facts, that's all. The modularity looks nice. Ultra probably rates their PSUs by peak wattage and Corsair probably rates theirs for continuous output.
HX650W would be great for for my current setup, I am looking for more out of a psu when my new rig is finished (plus room for overclocking).
Is the LOL a joke, or are you serious? I know it peaks higher then 700W but for example could it handle: two GTX275's and an overclocked Phenom II 920 -water cooled?
I would go with the 850TX. More headroom for whatever the future brings. Holy S@#$, check this out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139009&Tpk=850TX Edit: Oh wait, you found that one already. Looks like a great deal to me.
Using the eXtreme PSU calculator, an i7 975 with 4 sicks of DDR3 RAM, 4 HDs and SLI'd GTX275s requires 492Watts. Not an exact science here, but yeah, a 650Watt PSU that TRULY delivers 650 Watts (like a Corsair) could realistically handle what I listed (before degradation). These PSU threads always ended up teaching people just how much power they actually required. Shame nobody busts out the power consumption calculator anymore and asks "Why go for a PSU that delivers way more power than you'll ever use?" anymore.
492w is still 75% of the 650w PSU's power capacity, a little bit high don't you think? The 850TX is on sale for $140 with free shipping anyway. And then you added the word "degredation". Sure, he has a wimpy AMD X2 and a 9600 GT ATM, but what if he does actually get that high-end of a system in the future? And yes, I do know about PSU calculators. Why not get a quality, high wattage PSU if you can afford it? Wouldn't it in turn save you money in the future?
I got the Antec 750Watt and have 2 XFX GTX 285's in sli with a mild OC and a core i7 960 DO OC to 4.0GHZ. Cpu and gpu's are all watercooled with a swiftech mcp655 variable pump and a 480 dual pass rad. with 4 Scythe Kraze 120mm fans on the rad and it handles everything fine. Mine is not modular, I do have all the extra wires stuffed into a space where they are not seen or in the way.

'Another important Illinois ... project'
My father, Ardo Curnyn, founded Curnyn Construction in 1941. A Geneseo, Ill., based company, it is not often that big infrastructure projects with the opportunity for considerable work, comes right near our hometown. We are a family run company, with the income we make being invested right back into our community to help support our local economy. We need more opportunities for local jobs; we need the projects that bring those jobs.
As an Illinois resident and businessman, I like the idea of an influx of low-cost, domestically-produced power that will keep our costs down. I support the Rock Island Clean Line transmission project. I also applaud Clean Line Energy for working with Kiewit Construction, to visit with and learn more about local businesses early in their development process, so that companies like mine have a shot at participating in the construction of the project.
Back in the 1960s, my dad worked with Kiewit to help build the section of I-80 between Moline and Atkinson. Likewise, the construction of this new transmission line could offer us the chance to carry on our company's legacy by working on another important Illinois infrastructure project.

Mother's Day is less than a week away. I don't know about you, but it seems that every year I struggle to think of what to give for Mother's Day. My mom has most of what she needs and even wants (and she says she has enough jam).
For the next three days, I'll be posting a series of Mother's Day crafts. First up, is a trio of favored simply syrups in reused bottles. The syrups are quick to make and can be used to flavor iced tea, cocktails, or even coffee and other hot beverages.
I made ginger, lime, and lemon-mint syrups, but you could use any herb (lavender, rosemary, thyme, etc.), citrus, berry, or even spice (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, etc) to flavor your syrup.
Basic Simple Syrup
makes 1 cup
1 cup sugar
½ cup water
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and place over low heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves. When sugar is dissolved, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Cool and refrigerate. Simple syrup will last for quite a long time in the refrigerator.
For citrus syrup:
Use basic simple syrup recipe, but add the zest of 2 lemons, limes, or other citrus with the water and sugar. Take off heat and allow the ingredients to steep for another 10-20 minutes. Strain and let cool.
For herb syrup:
Use basic simple syrup recipe, but add a small bunch of lavender, mint, rosemary, thyme, or lemon verbena to the syrup once the sugar dissolves, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the syrup when cool.
For spiced syrup:
Use basic simple syrup recipe. When the syrup is done, remove from heat and add: 1 ½ teaspoons whole cloves, 4 cinnamon sticks, or a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes, then strain.
I didn't let my lemon-mint or ginger syrups steep as much and they needed (I've adjusted the recipes above to make up for this), and will likely reheat them and try again. Last summer I made lemon-thyme syrup that was wonderfully flavorful, and even became slightly colored by the lemon peel. These recipes are easily adjustible to taste, and are very forgiving.
Place a bow around the syrup bottles, add a card and a date for tea or lunch and enjoy the day with a mother you love—perfect.

DAYS before the Isle of Wight hosts the Global Ecoislands Summit, a sustainability expert is urging people to think about their eco-footprint.
The Global Ecoislands Summit 2012, run in conjunction with sustainability consultancy firm Best Foot Forward, will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday at Cowes Yacht Haven.
Communities from around the world have been invited to attend and commit to becoming renewable-energy self-sufficient by the end of the decade, and entirely sustainable by 2030.
Nicky Chambers, chief executive office of Best Foot Forward, said: "If humanity lived sustainably, then our ecological footprint would be the same size, or less, than the planet we live on.
"It's not, our eco-footprint, or the land needed to produce the resources we use, and deal with the waste, is currently estimated at one-and-a-half times our planet."
Before committing to the project, the Isle of Wight, Ecoisland's flagship project, had an eco-footprint so large, that if everyone on the world were to live the same way, humanity would need a planet two-and-a-half times the size of the earth to sustain it, Ecoisland claimed.
David Green, founder of the Ecoisland Community Interest Company, said: "Setting a definition of sustainability is an important first step, but the Ecoisland Summit is also focused on providing the necessary resources to turn those targets into a reality."

Like it or not, we're all contributing to the degradation of the environment so the more we try to live our lives greener the better the long term chances for our planet and humanity. Eating less or no meat, as Graeme says, would significantly cut down on greenhouse gases. It's just a shame that some people hide their guilt for failing to act by blaming others or sending up those who are just trying to protect them.
by Graeme Egerton
12th October 2012, at 13:25:54
One of the best things you can do to be eco friendly is turn veggie. Cattle are responsible for about 14% of our greenhouse gases. It is also strange that we have starving people but feed animals so they can in turn feed humans. Will the summit's menu be veggie peradventure?

Hmmmmm,, what annoys me is what about the Space Shuttle, jet liners, massive V8 engine American cars, old smokey trucks in India and Vietnam that run work all day and once rigged up to their home it powers the electric at night, the list goes on with these globally challenging engines, yet we on the island MUST be careful about turning a light off while in the toilet, not flushing afterwards, and we all must dress in hessian sacks and eat home grown potatoes raw. Sorry no, there are too many people on this island (and in the UK), too many houses being built to accomodate more, we should put a cap on how many live here, and have a rule, one off, one on. Seriously.

peter "would it not therefore have been more eco friendly to video conference the whole thing"Ha,ha,ha! Of course it would, but there would be no publicity or photo opportunities doing that would there?Without publicity and photo opportunities, nobody would know who any of them are.I hear a Belgian delegate, Goebbel De Gook, is going to be the European guest speaker.
by peter williams
11th October 2012, at 15:13:15
i hope they have negotiated a discount on the delegates ferry fares, if these people are coming from all over the world then surely their travel has caused a huge footprint and would it not therefore have been more eco friendly to video conference the whole thing

Last night, we watched the first episode of Netflix's new series House of Cards. I'd been eager to see how the series turned out because they'd filmed scenes all over my old Baltimore neighborhood of Mt. Vernon for most of last year. I like it so far, but it's tough to get over the frequent familiar landmarks. I wonder if other Mt. Vernon folks have the same problem?
When they were filming, I got used to navigating around production trucks at locations like the Belvedere, the Engineer's Club, or the old Monumental Life building. This was a frequent scene on my way to and from work:
I knew I'd recognize some of the exteriors, something The Wire got me used to, but it's still neat to see my neighborhood in a series, though it can be distracting, especially for anyone watching with me when I say things like, "Hey, that's the Lyric Opera House, though they changed the sign to read 'The National Center for Performing Arts'. Is that CG? I think they did that with CG." (Sorry, Sophia.)
In the shot below, Zoe Barns (played by Kate Mara) heads into her apartment, which is wedged between Dyonisus, where I spent many nights after grad school readings, and Nino's Pizza, where I'd grab post-Dyonisus pizza. It's less than a block from the University of Baltimore building were I had all my classes. So, you know, memories.
And that's all just from the first episode! People from Los Angeles must be desensitized to this sort of thing by every movie, TV show, and car commercial ever made. But for this Baltimore boy, it's still kind of a thrill.

SOURCE River Island
LONDON, September 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
This Autumn/Winter 13, River Island is excited to announce Eudon Choi as the latest young designer for their Design Forum initiative.
Eudon Choi was named 'One to Watch' by British Vogue in 2012 and it's not hard to see why. With his great attention to detail, sartorial techniques and masculine cuts that shape the female form, he creates flawless pieces, which reflect his unique style - a merging of the masculine and feminine. Eudon seeks inspiration from historical photography and film, and by sourcing vintage fabrics and garments from around the world.
For Eudon's first foray into high street, he has stayed true to his roots by combining his high level of precision and luxe looking fabrics with wearable designs. The fully cohesive collection uses buttery soft leathers, clean streamlined pieces, biker detailing, alongside a carefully put together colour palette. For this 16-piece collection, Eudon was inspired by a series of photographs called 'Wild at Heart' shot by Peter Lindbergh in 1991 that featured a host of the world's most powerful supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Tatjana Patitz.
Eudon says, on his experience working with River Island:
"As an emerging designer, the opportunity to work with a major high street retailer is an incredible opportunity. My mainline collections are sold in high end stores and I love the idea that people all over the UK will be able to buy this collection."
Korean born Eudon trained in Seoul in menswear design, and developed his skills in tailoring techniques. He moved to London, to attend the Royal College of Art's prestigious MA in womenswear. After a few years working in-house as a designer, Eudon set up his eponymous label in 2009. A number of fresh young, famous faces including Jessie J, Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora and Delilah have all worn Eudon's designs. This September Eudon will present his 4th on schedule show during London Fashion Week.
The Eudon Choi for River Island Design Forum collection will launch via a short film at London Fashion Week's Fash/on Film* event on 15th September. Fash/on Film is an initiative derived by The British Fashion Council and River Island, that has grown from strength to strength. The collection goes on sale in selected stores in the UK and Internationally and online (http://www.riverisland.com) on 23rd September 2013 and prices range from £30 to £250.
*BFC Fash/On Film initiative, sponsored by River Island, aims to develop relationships between fashion designers and filmmakers and recognises the on-going development of fashion film as an important medium in the industry. Fash/On Film's main objective is to encourage, promote and stimulate the growth of designers and brands using film as a means to showcasing, thus strengthening London's position at the centre of this digital revolution.

Washington, DC Wednesday, April 11, 2012
Attorney General Eric Holder spoke at the annual convention of the National Action Network, the civil rights organization founded by Rev. Al Sharpton. He promised a fair and independent review of the Trayvon Martin case, plus legal action if warranted.
Atty. Gen. Holder spoke at the annual convention of the National Action Network (NAN), the civil rights organization founded by Rev. Al Sharpton.
Following Holder's remarks, a panel of legal experts discussed the state of the criminal justice system in the U.S. today.
Speakers addressed the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, as well as a recent Tulsa shooting, where three African Americans were shot to death. The group also took audience questions.
The panel, moderated by NAN General Counsel and Executive Vice President Michael Hardy, included Harvard Law Professors Christi Cunningham and Dr. Charles Ogletree, ACLU Director of the Washington Legislative Office Laura Murphy and Vice President of The Fortune Society Glenn Martin.

Kickstarter has gained considerable steam in 2012, as reflected in its 70 per cent annual growth in pledges in the first three months, a period in which videogame designer Tim Schafer took in a $3.3 million advance for his project Double Fine.
Not only it is now considered realistic for an idea to exceed $1 million in advance crowdfunding, but more physical spaces are certain to surface on the website, after a proposal to build LowLine, the first underground park in New York City, met with mass media enthusiasm.
The concept has been slower to catch on in Canada, though, partly because Kickstarter remains inaccessible to those who lack access to a U.S. bank account. But anyone imaginative enough to raise money for a project from scratch can figure out a workaround.

LCSC tennis teams draw preseason NAIA rankings
The Lewis-Clark State College men's tennis team is ranked No. 11 while the women's team is ranked No. 15 in NAIA Preseason Top 25 polls, which were released this week.
The Warrior men stand at 3-2 on the season heading into this weekend's action. Although he's excited by the men's rankings, LCSC coach Kai Fong noted that California schools did not appear in the ranking because the Region did not submit ratings in time for consideration. Fong says there are five California schools good enough to be ranked in the Top 25, which could alter LCSC's ranking in the first regular-season poll.
The Warrior women are 1-1 on the season and just four points behind Shorter College of Georgia in the poll.
Last season, the Warrior women finished No. 18 in the final poll, while the men were No. 20.

Reporting and Fixing License Violations
This guide presents some practical tips for solving common Free Software license compliance issues. It is not legal advice, and if in doubt, you should contact a qualified lawyer.
Reporting a violation
Be careful when reporting a violation. Accusations and suspicions voiced on public mailing lists create uncertainty and do little to solve violations. By checking your facts you can help experts resolve violations quickly.
Useful violation reports to companies about a potentially infringing product should contain:
- The name of the product affected
- The reason why a violation is believed to exist
- The name of the project code that may have been violated
- A statement regarding what licence this code is under
- A link to the project site
Useful violation reports to organisations like gpl-violations.org or the FTF should contain:
- The name of the project code that may have been violated
- A statement regarding what licence this code is under
- A link to the project site
- The name and website of the party who may be violating the code
- The reason why a violation is believed to exist
Additional tips:
- Please do not forward long email threads. They make it difficult to assess the situation.
- If you have clear evidence of a violation it is a good idea to tell the copyright holders. They can take legal action if necessary.
You can send violation reports to:
- gpl-violations.org: firstname.lastname@example.com
- FSFE's Freedom Task Force: firstname.lastname@example.com
Handling a violation report
It is important to handle violation reports carefully. Free Software development focuses on community engagement and clear communication. That means it is important to respond to issues reported, even if your reply is initially brief. This helps prevent escalation.
Here are some useful steps:
- Confirm you have received any reports sent in and inform the reporter you are looking into the case
- If the report was made on a public forum try to move the discussion to a non-public space as soon as possible
- Isolate the precise problem. If you don't already have the information, ask the reporter for:
- The name of the product affected or the exact code causing a problem
- The reason why a violation is believed to exist
- The name of the project code that may have been violated
- A statement regarding what licence this code is under
- A link to the project site
- Send updates to the reporter when they are available
Please bear in mind:
- Not every reporter understands licences fully and there may be mistakes in their submissions
- Compliance with the terms of the licences is not optional and lack of compliance can have serious consequences
- You can hire compliance engineers or purchase compliance services from third parties if necessary
You can get more information about best practice in this field by contacting:
- FSFE's Freedom Task Force: email@example.com
You can obtain compliance engineering support by contacting:
- Tjaldur Software Governance Solutions: http://www.tjaldur.nl
Preventing a violation
The best way to fix violations is to prevent them occuring.
Useful tips:
- Read the licences you will use
- Check out the websites explaining these licences
- Get advice from experts
Useful tips for supply chain management:
- If third parties supply you with code, ensure you have licence compliance stipulated in your contracts
- Ask suppliers to bear the cost of resolving violations
For more information you can contact:
- gpl-violations.org: firstname.lastname@example.com
- FSFE's Freedom Task Force: firstname.lastname@example.com

In the UK, it is possible for someone to be barred from acting as director of a company, if their misconduct is sufficiently bad. There may be rules like this in other jurisdictions as well.
Also, if you can show that someone has infringed the rules of their professional body (if they have one), there is a small chance that they may be struck off, expelled, or prevented from practising (at least in theory).

Afterall they can say: "Look, the patent-office, staffed by competent people that aren't us, examined the patent and granted it. Surely, if the patent was *obviously* bad to the point where believing it to be valid and demand that infringers pay is criminal, the fine folks at the patent-office would have denied the patent."
It's really tricky to argue that the patent-office saw the patent as valid, yet that anyone else who *also* sees it as valid, are acting with criminal neglect and/or malevolence.
Posted Nov 11, 2011 12:11 UTC (Fri) by michaeljt (subscriber, #39183) [Link]
How much are the (US) patent office expected to know about the current state of the art? Given the number of applications relative to the number of examiners, they would have to be sufficiently familiar with every field they deal with to have an idea off the top of their head about whether or not it is original if they are to spot prior art without help. Is this really what courts assume about them?
Posted Nov 11, 2011 12:48 UTC (Fri) by ekj (subscriber, #1524) [Link]
They'd have to be, afterall, because the chief criteria are first that it's novel, and second that it's non-obvious. The definition of the latter vary somewhat by jurisdiction, but for USA it means that:
"the difference between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the subject matter pertains."
In other words, if the technique being patented would have been obvious to a person who has knowledge of formerly used techniques *and* ordinary skill in the subject-area, then that technique is not patentable.
That's what the law says - offcourse in practice it doesn't work like that. It *is* obvious to a person of ordinary skill in developing payment-solutions for webshops that shopping can be made with one click if the required information has been stored previously - and it's equally obvious how to implement this. Nevertheless the patent was granted.
A patent-examiner, in principle, has examined the application and determined that it is novel, non-obvious and useful. It's gonna be really tricky to make it stick that believing his conclusions amounts to criminal neglect.
If you *could* make it stick: "Nobody in their right mind could believe this", then you could conceivably also sue the patent-office for criminal neglect, since they'd be guilty of the same mistake.
That'd be the day -- but I ain't holding my breath.
