Whether you're looking for a community near outdoor attractions or arts and culture events, Summit may be the perfect place for you. Summit apartments for rent are near several major highways, as well as the Newark Airport, which makes travel and commuting a breeze. This city is very community-oriented, and it prides itself on its vast diversity – more than 35 languages are spoken by residents here. Although Summit has a suburban atmosphere, the city is only 30 minutes away from the Big Apple, so anyone looking for cosmopolitan amenities won't have to travel far from Summit apartments. With a population of about 21,500 people, Summit is the perfect small town in the Garden State.
When you're looking at Summit apartments for rent, you'll quickly notice the historic charm of this community that dates back to its founding in 1710. According to AreaVibes, the city received a score of 83 for its exceptional livability based on its stable housing market, abundance of local amenities, high income per capita and low crime rates. It is also known for its top-rated schools, making it a truly family-friendly community.
Although the city only spans 6 square miles, there are plenty of green spaces, an active community business center, running paths, a local golf course and shady tree-lined streets. The Reeves-Reed Arboretum is a local favorite with its roots dating back to 1889. Not only is it a beautiful place to go for a stroll, this historic attraction features garden designs inspired by early 20th century trends.
With the high quality of living, great schools and nearby attractions, it should come as no surprise that the median rental rate for Summit apartments for rent is 26 percent more than the rest of New Jersey. According to AreaVibes, the overall cost of living is about 51 percent more expensive than the rest of the state and 94 percent more than the nation's average.
Residents of apartments in Summit will also have to figure in transportation costs. The average cost of a gallon of gas is on par with the rest of the state and the average commute time is 9 percent longer than other residents of the Garden State. The center of Summit is fairly walkable, but the city as a whole is only somewhat walkable, according to WalkScore.
Residents living in apartments for rent in Summit are not far from endless opportunities in the Big Apple, but they don't have to go that far for employment options. Some of the top private businesses in the region include Merck & Co., NEMF, USI Services Group, Overlook Hospital, Maher Terminals and Alcatel-Lucent.

Louis I. Kahn: Unbuilt Masterworks
Kent Larson; Louis I. Kahn
Publisher: Monacelli Pr
Publication Date: 2000
Binding: Hardcover
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Using computer imaging techniques to complete unfinished work, this collection of "unbuilt" masterworks by the great architect includes plans for a meeting house at the Salk Institute and a Holocaust memorial.
"Most moving of the eight schemes visually reconstituted here are for the Mikveh Israel Synagogue of 1961-72 in Philadelphia and three successive versions of the Hurvah Synagogue in Jerusalem, on which Kahn worked from 1967 until his death. Both the American and the Israeli shuls are unquestionably lost masterpieces, especially poignant in a period that has produced very little distinguished religious architecture. Perhaps Larson's lifelike depictions will inspire donors to resurrect these compelling schemes and to give Kahn's fellow believers houses of worship equal to the finest churches of Christendom."

The purpose of this Annual Report is to collect information about the operation and activities of all the SIGMAAs (Special Interest Groups of the MAA) in an effort to establish a record for archival purposes. This information will be maintained by the MAA Department of Programs and Services and shared, in a variety of forms, with the SIGMAAs, with various MAA administrative units, and with the MAA general membership. This effort will enable the Department of Programs and Services, along with the MAA Committee on SIGMAAs, to better serve the needs of SIGMAAs and their members as well as provide SIGMAAs an opportunity to share best practices, new ideas, and concerns. Reports were submitted by seven SIGMAAs.

RUME: The SIGMAA on RUME had two contributed paper sessions at the January 2004 Winter Meetings. In addition, we held our business meeting, which included a special address on research in undergraduate mathematics education by Chris Rasmussen, San Diego State University, as well as an election of officers. Business meeting minutes are available at <http://rume.org/minutes.html>.
QL: SIGMAA QL held a reception at the 2004 MathFest. This was our first-ever event.
EM: None
STAT-ED: None
RUME: None
HOM: None

QL: There was a QL panel discussion at the MAA Pacific Northwest Section meeting in June. SIGMAA QL member Mike Boardman organized the panel, and four of the five panelists were SIGMAA QL members.
WEB: None
EM: None
STAT-ED: Open meeting of the ASA/MAA Joint Committee on Undergraduate Statistics participation at the JSM (Joint Statistical Meetings)
RUME: As part of its on-going activities to foster research in undergraduate mathematics education and the dissemination of such research, we held our seventh Conference on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education in Fall off 2003 and our eighth in February 2005. The 2003 conference was held in October 2003 in Scottsdale, AZ and the 2005 event was held in February 2005 in Phoenix, AZ. The 2006 is currently planned to take place on the East Coast, and we hope to distribute the locations geographically in the future. There were about 120 attendants at each of the 2003 and 2005 conferences.
HOM: None
POM: None
QL: Judith Moran and Caren Diefenderfer, both officers of SIGMAA QL, were members of the resource faculty for the 2004 QL PREP workshop in Washington State in August 2004. Many SIGMAA members were there with interdisciplinary teams from their respective campuses.
WEB: None
EM: Our intention had been to meet physically at JMM and Mathfest.However, we never met our quorums until Phoenix, JMM 04. (The SIGMAA BIG President had warned me that our thresholds were much too high, and we have since lowered them to more realistic percentages.) Most of our "delegated" business is done by phone or e-mail, with the lead being taken by the Coord., Assoc. Coord. or other Council member. E.g., the Formal Activity Coord. would take the lead on CPS's. However, there is a great deal of cooperation that crosses titles.
STAT-ED: Meeting of officers and business meeting at JMM E-mails and telephone calls throughout the year
RUME: We meet at every Joint Meetings (last in January 2005) and at our annual research conference (most recently October 2003, and February 2005). We conduct the bulk of our business by email - e.g. in 2003 there were over 300 emails just on Executive Committee business (not including other committee business).
HOM: Frequent email communication. Officers meetings at the JMM.
POM: We met during the January 2004 joint meetings; otherwise, we correspond via e-mail. This seems to get things done.
QL: During 2004, the officers conducted all business through frequent e-mails. We planned to meet in person for the first time at the 2005 Joint Meetings.
WEB: Executive Board meetings are held by email in accordance with the WEB SIGMAA Charter, as issues arise. Issues handled during 2004 included the membership of the Nominating Committee and events to be held.
EM: These were our first elections and they were carried out by the Assoc. Coord. (As per our Charter) It was mostly a case of beating the
bushes for volunteers - no positions were contested.
STAT-ED: In July and August, the Past Chair, Carolyn Cuff, solicited nominations for officers from the membership via e-mail. In September she sent out the e-mail ballot with directions for voting and one-paragraph biographies for each of the candidates. Later in the same month she announced that Ginger Holmes-Rowell had been elected Chair-Elect and Sue Shou had been elected Secretary. Both winners assume their positions at the end of 2005 JMM. The election followed the SIGMAA's charter. One of the defeated candidates requested the actual count of that candidate's race. This was initially denied by the SIGMAA's Executive Committee based upon information from MAA Central. After obtaining revised information from MAA Central, the SIGMAA's Executive Committee agreed to provide this information. The level of participation by SIGMAA is only known by the Past Chair and any candidates who request that information, but it is known that the necessary number of members participated in the election.
RUME: From our charter V.2.d.: The Executive Committee will appoint a Nominating Committee of three members and will designate one of the three as Chair. No more than one member of the Executive Committee may serve on the Nominating Committee. The Executive Committee will notify the membership of SIGMAA-on-RUME regarding the composition of the Nominating Committee at least two months prior to the meeting at which elections are to be held and will request that suggestions for nominations be sent to the Chair of the Nominating Committee.
The Nominating Committee will propose and publicize a slate of more than one officer per position, if possible, at least one month before the January business meeting at which the election is to occur. Additional nominations may be made from the floor at that annual meeting.
Voting for all officers will be by secret ballot at the appropriate January business meeting, provided a quorum is present. If there is only one nominee for a given office, that person will be deemed elected. For all other offices, the person receiving the most votes will be elected. If a quorum is not present, current officers will serve until the next business meeting at which there is a quorum and an election can be held.
The last election was January 9th, 2005 at the Joint Meetings in Atlanta. The Nomination Committee for 2005 consisted of Annie Selden (chair), Draga Vidacovic, and Margaret Kinzel. They presented a slate of candidates for three offices: Treasurer, Coordinator-Elect, and Organizational Chair. At the Atlanta meeting there were approximately 44 attendees. (Quorum is 25 members including 2 officers.) Recently we have begun to discuss the possibility of an electronic vote if that becomes available through the MAA.
HOM: A nominating committee is formed form the general membership, usually including on e outgoing officer. A slate is presented to the membership via email in October or early November. Email ballots are gathered in December and the results are announced at the annual meeting. Approximately 25% of the members vote.
POM: None: the first elections (after the original election of the first officers)(for new Chair-elect, Program Director, and Newsletter editor/Web Page Manager) will be held in November 2005.
QL: The initial slate of officers was in place at the time the charter was approved. We then decided to stagger the elections for officers, so we had two elections in late 2004/early 2005. In November 2004, then-Past Chair (and SIGMAA QL founder) Rick Gillman selected two nominees for Chair-Elect. An election was held by e-mail over a two week period. Just greater than one-third of the SIGMAA QL membership voted in the election. Then in December, then-Chair-Elect Caren Diefenderfer selected two nominees for Webmaster. An election was held at the business meeting in Atlanta, which was attended by approximately one-third of the membership.
WEB: Nominations and elections are the responsibility of a three-person Nominating Committee whose membership turns over on a three-year cycle. The Nominating Committee is appointed by the Executive Board but is otherwise independent of the Board. At its discretion, the Nominating Committee may nominate one or more candidates for each position, after consulting with the membership and the Executive Committee as it sees fit. During 2004 this process worked smoothly, with a well qualified slate of nominees proposed and an electronic election conducted.
EM: We consider our most important activities to be the ones associated with doing things - bus trips, walking tours, workshops, etc. The MAA office handles most of the PR and collection of fees for us. We just supply the information. So far, it has worked very well. As for our Web, we have been slow to get this off the ground. (We are hoping our new Webmaster will take control - time will tell.)
STAT-ED: Our SIGMAA used e-mail, a website, and list serves during 2004. We did not send out an electronic newsletter, but did produce a letter from the Chair.
RUME: From its inception in 2001, the SIGMAA on RUME Website committee (Shandy Hauk (chair, '99-present), Eric Hsu ('99-present), Annie Selden ('03-present), Kathy Bonn ('99-'03)) has provided a number of services on the web (listed below). The membership has reported that it has found the many sites useful in their own work and in educating their peers and supervisors about the enterprise of RUME.
The web site has been successful because of the energy of the committee and the positive suggestions of the membership. As mentioned in last year's report, a result of concerns about timely posting through the MAA we now host our site elsewhere and have the MAA link redirect to it: http://www.rume.org
One notable addition to the web site arrived in 2004. As a result of a RUME listserv discussion, Shandy Hauk (chair) wrote and rume.org now hosts a linked-list of U.S. Doctoral Programs in Mathematics Education, with clear indication of those programs with a focus on RUME. This particular site has been quite successful in three ways: (1) it has generated discussion on the listserv of what is valued about different programs (e.g., what is valuable about a PhD in math ed housed in a department of mathematics); (2) it has provided a touchstone for recruiting new PhD students; (3) it has provided an alternate, moderated, site for information to be posted where doctorates focusing on RUME work are highlighted (i.e., promotes RUME-based research as valued dissertation research).
In 2004 the web site committee continued to update the linked lists for RUME research and policy related issues:
HOM: We have three email lists: officers, our larger advisory council, and the membership as a whole. We also have a website. we have no problem at present.
POM: We e-mailed the membership prior to Mathfest to inform them of the upcoming talk by Phil Davis. We are about to start a listserv, but haven't done so yet. Of course, about 1/3 of the members don't have e-mail addresses listed with the MAA, and so didn't receive the message, and a few (but only about a half dozen) bounced back - and some of those were due to spam filters not accepting messages with such a long "to" list. The web page has some difficulties: under most browsers most of the pages linked from the main page (all except the charter) come up on only the left 1/3 of the screen and scroll bars aren't always present; the list of contributed paper sessions still (after a year of requesting it) hasn't been posted.
QL: The listserv was instituted during the summer of 2004, and it was utilized to a fair degree after that time. The officers posted information about events at MathFest and the Joint Meetings, while members asked QL-related questions. Because we were a new SIGMAA without official membership in 2004, it was somewhat difficult to get an accurate list of people for the listserv. Now that we have official members for 2005, we should no longer encounter such problems. Additionally, then-Webmaster Matt DeLong created a web page for our SIGMAA.
WEB: With the assistance of MAA staff, a list server was implemented during 2004. It is used both for emailings to the membership and for discussion of issues of interest to the membership. The list server has been helpful but usage for discussion has been light. One problem noted is that some members have provided no email address to the MAA and addresses for some others are out of date. A postal mailing to these individuals elicited a few updates, but a few members remain out of contact with the organization.
EM: Our main benefits are associated with "hands-on" activities -- ) Early warning 2) Discounts (where there is a fee involved)
STAT-ED: The SIGMAA wrote a letter of support for the NSF ND grant proposal by the Consortium of the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE). If the proposal is accepted by the NSF, CAUSE will be able to provide numerous benefits for the members of our SIGMAA.
RUME: Our annual conference (see above) has been a very important and central activity for our membership.
HOM: Announcements of events in the subject area. Student writing contest.
POM: In late 2004 we sent a postcard to all members informing them of the upcoming events for 2005, and giving them contact information. We also wrote up a description of the SIGMAA's activities for Focus.
QL: None
WEB: An on-line newsletter is in development. There is discussion of a discount program with some major vendors of products relevant for the purposes of WEB SIGMAA. The vendors have expressed interest, and the MAA, which would have to approve any such arrangement, is reportedly willing to consider a specific proposal.
EM: It took leaps of faith to plan so far ahead. However, our actual expenses seem to track our predicted expenses pretty well.
STAT-ED: We overestimated our expenses for 2004 because we based them upon previous years.
RUME: The budget submission and review process for 2004-2005 proceeded smoothly for the portion of the budget that dealt with dues monies. We did, however, experience complications with the budget money from the ExxonMobil Foundation grant. There was a discrepancy of approximately $15,000 between what SIGMAA on RUME was expecting and what was ultimately allocated. Leaders at the MAA were alerted to the discrepancy and provided documentation. Leaders at the MAA then worked with SIGMAA on RUME to resolve the dilemma to the best of their ability, given the unfortunate budget complication. Overall, we have found the MAA to be responsive to our budget needs and while working toward making the reporting process more systematic and more flexible in understanding our varied spending needs.
HOM: No Issues
POM: The one big problem was actually in January, 2005, when we found out that we hadn't been asked technology needs for our invited address and there was no lcd projector, which was essential. So we had to rent one out of our own pockets on the spot.
QL: The budget was a fairly simple process during our first year. The MAA awarded us startup funds of $1100, and our only expenses to date have been receptions at the 2004 MathFest and the 2005 JMM. John Bukowski prepared the 2005 budget, which was fairly easy to do.
WEB: During 2004, expenses consisted of catering at meetings. Income income has exceeded expenses by a considerable amount. There is discussion of using remaining income to support the proposed on-line newsletter or to co-sponsor invited speakers who require travel support.
EM: As far as we can tell, the success of formal activities such as CPSs, IPSs and Panel depend more on scheduling than anything else. Our informal activities seem to be intrinsically attractive (and can be scheduled at what we think are optimum times). The Phoenix Geol-Math bus trip went from a 45-passenger bus to a 55-passenger bus, to a waiting list. The Providence walk ballooned to such an extent that a frenetic last-minute hunt went on for a second leader (Reminiscent of the Boulder walk.) The former had a fee and the latter was free, so it isn't a question of money. MAA members seem to welcome some kind of physical activity to complement the long hours of sitting and listening at various presentations or committee meetings.
STAT-ED: As part of our JMM business meeting we had a reception and a swap of favorite classroom activities session. After our JMM business meeting, interested SIGMAA members joined the Executive Committee for dinner. In preparation for our 2005 JMM business meeting, pledges of door prizes were obtained from a number of sponsors.
RUME: The Research to Practice proposed MAA Notes volume has been a successful way to pull together some of the most exciting and recent research in our field. We have had a program of mentoring mini-grants which we offered to help collaboration in the field of Research on Undergraduate Mathematics Education. In this program we gave special priority to new researchers and connections to research math and science scholars. Funding for this program has ended, but we hope to get new funding for a new mini-grant program that will give small grants to collaborations among mathematics education researchers, as well as collaborations involving mathematics education researchers and mathematicians and/or scientists or science educators.
HOM: Our annual speaker has gone well. Our student writing contest also seems to be getting off to a good start.
POM: Our contributed paper sessions continue to be very popular. We put a break for discussion and refreshments twice during our session in January 2004, and that worked very well: there was a lot of discussion during it among members, and many more attended than attended the business meeting.
QL: Our only event during 2004 was our MathFest reception, a fairly typical SIGMAA event.
WEB: As our organization is still new, we'll defer to other SIGMAAs on this.
EM: According to our Charter, the Chair of the Committee on Math. in the Environment is an ex officio member of our Council. The former(?) CME chair (PCK) had the impression that the CME was being terminated. So we invited PCK to run for Secretary in the Fall 2004 elections. (We had had a Secretary in absentia and, happily, her term was up.) January rolled around, yet neither she nor members of the CME had gotten definite word that it had been terminated. If the CME has been terminated, there is no problem; if not, there is a problem - at least for the SIGMAA EM. We would like to see the status of the CME settled, hopefully before our Council meeting at Mathfest 2005.
STAT-ED: The MAA should consider making this annual report for the period between JMMs instead of the calendar year because that corresponds to the terms of office and major activities for most SIGMAAs. There is a need to include a listing of issues that each SIGMAA plans to address in the future in the annual report. For example, our SIGMAA plans to rethink whether the Web Editor should be an elected position. There is a need to provide the quarterly financial reports and three listings of the members on a more-timely basis. There is a need to revise the quarterly financial reports and three listings of members so that they may be more informative. For example, there is a need to explain the difference between paid and gratis members. There is also a need to revise the format of the financial report and the budget form so that they provide more information. There is a need to standardize the election procedure of all of the SIGMAAs. The votes should be tallied by MAA Central or outsourced by MAA Central. SIGMAA membership forms should be prominently displayed and provided at the MAA booth in the JMM exhibit area. Each SIGMAA should be provided a time slot and room for a meeting of its officers at the JMM before each SIGMAA's business meeting. The time of the Meeting of SIGMAA Officers should not conflict with an SIGMAA-sponsored session or meeting. In 2004 this meeting was scheduled during our contributed paper session. Ideally the time and place of this meeting (and the meetings of all committee meetings) should be announced before attendees make their travel arrangements and placed in the program. The Committee on SIGMAAs should eventually be replaced by a SIGMAA Coordinating Council made up of representatives from each SIGMAA, with elected officers nominated from the SIGMAAs.
RUME: None
HOM: We have several hundred members listed by the MAA. However, we think that many of them are memberships given out by the MAA. Most of the people listed are not involved. And occasionally someone doesn't know how they got on the list.
POM: Our invited address at Mathfest was reasonably well-attended, but not as well attended as we would have liked. The program unfortunately didn't include the speaker's name (a well-known speaker!) or title, much less the abstract of the talk, even though the organizer of the meeting had the speaker name and title by March 20. And there was the issue of technology needs for our speaker at the joint meetings in January 2005, mentioned above under technology.
QL: None
WEB: None to mention at this point

Well the pictures don't work for me now, but I'd guess it's just a vortex. Seriously. There is a fan mounted right behind the CPU fan in the normal orientation. Compare the two when they aren't running. It's absolutely ludicrous to think that one would behave differently than the other unless the fins are backwards, or some how your polarities are reversed and it's spinning backwards.
Guys Help Me Out, Here Are Some Pictures, I Made Sure The CPU Fan Is Blowing on the heatsink. {and for thoes with the comment on the hands in pictures, I Already Said That I Ask My Brother To Help Me) These are the fans When Not Working (red lines are spin direction) this is when only the CPU fan is working And Blowing Air (notice the Noctua Lable)
Well, after seeing the slope of the blades, I'd ahve to agree, adn the fan is mounted up-side down. I do understand what you are seeing. Why not just try flipping the fan over and see what happens? Teh airflow created by teh fan shoudl kinda be like a tornado, the blows on the outside, but does draw some air in the middle. The actual airflwo should be a very wide circle around the out rim only, and the air is drawn over the blade edge, and then forced to hte tip of hte blade, and out, with the circular motion of the fan itself.
Depending on how strong the intake and exhaust fans are, it could be possible that the CPU fan is recyling its own air exhaust regardless of which direction the fans are spinning. Since the fan isn't blowing air back to the rear of the case, the case fan has to work harder to push air out of the case, and similarly of the front fan. Maybe verifying that it's blowing air down by remounting the fan might help and if leaving the side panel off is helping, you might want stronger intake/exhaust fans. I would also make sure that the 680 also isn't blowing warm air back into the chassis and if it is, it could be a sign of not enough intake pressure. Even on my Antec 1200, I have 3 120mm intake fans on the front and 2 120mm and 1 200mm exhaust fans. All it takes is the 3 intake fans to get clogged up with some dust to let temperatures go up.
Just For The Sport, I Will Flip The CPU fan And Check (Although I Dont Believe what you described about the flame going in because of a turbulace) [I also checked with smok and it got sucked up strait away] - I Mean, Logig & Expiriance say That if the CPU fan Was Blowing Air Out, THEN THE FLAME & SOME Would Have Blown Away!!!!! (Im guessing it would have been dificult to even light the lighter). But Hey . . . . Lets Make Sure Aey..? (but i guess its either that the polars are fliped or ...thats how the fan is) I Said Before, The Case 120mm Noctua fans Are Working Like You Guys Said (Throwing Air on The side of the lable). But the CPU fan.... Well you saw the pics.
This is becoming maddening. My point exactly.:shadedshu There comes a point when it's pointless to argue with sheer stubbornness. Unsubbed.
OK guys, You Were Righht! Indeed! Fan Was Fliped! (i still dont understand how does a blowing wind could suck the air?) (flame should have been blowen away) anyway you were right ! This is awsome, i can feel the air thrown all over the RAM. (wicked) Checkout the new RIGHT Config Scene:
GPU TEMPS ARE DOWN BY 10c Thank you (its 24c-27c) (im still figuring it out how i missed this) (think i thought that the lable should have been infront, and since i saw the flame\smoke going in, i figured it was the right config) I was way wrog! Thank you. Now i just need n application for controling the asus 680 fans (dont want to use the asus tweak utility)
Ok, so, can I suggest you just leave well enough alone? When the card gets too hot, the fans will automatically speed up. The cooler on that card is overkill compared to the stock reference fan, so that GPU in your rig will run cooler, and quieter, than any reference card. Now, fi you notice poor perforamnce, or stability issue, then worry about changing stuff. It's Occam's Razor, in reverse. Rather than the simplest answer...let's just keep it simple.
As was suggested, given the known rotational direction, the angle of the fan blades should have made it obvious that it was not blowing inward. For future reference, and you can probably even verify it on these fans, the fans usually have two little arrows somewhere on the outer edge. One indicating which direction it turns, the other which direction it blows. I'll refer you to good old Wodney...#51 - Question/Answer: Fan Airflow Direction and R... At least you got it sorted, and yes, those are more in line with the temps you should be getting with that card.
I would still watch you ambient temperatures inside your case, I bet you that it could be lower. Glad that it's doing better though.
My friend, I am sorry if my BiG red words are scorching your eyes. (realy sorry) Like The Friend Said, It was A way To Express How Greatfull I Am For Getting The Atention & Patiance From Exp' Users. Anyway.. no harm done i guess. ----------------------------------------- My case Temp's were around 40c-48c during rest, Now i can see 35c-40. (definatly improvment). sorry for my bad eng. - (its not my 1st lang)
What? I am not the one that complained about the large red fonts. So let's be specific here 1stcowgirl and MT Alex, I am not "that guy".
Well, the last few posts doesn't really talk about the card anymore, but I would just like to say that I've seen some other Kepler cards also reach almost 80C in temps over here (my Fermi does too) when playing the game. It seems that it only happens with Nvidia cards though (or at least, HD 7800/7900 users don't complain about temps over in a "local" forum), I wonder why...
of course your not. (why would anyone think its you?) (we do have our nicknames right beside our comments) Anyway .. Problem Solved. I realy Enjoyed this post. If this post is what the rest of the forum looks Like then.. SHAPO! Delicious!!! Thank you
Because in your post #67 you quoted me, then said this... "My friend, I am sorry if my BiG red words are scorching your eyes. (realy sorry) Like The Friend Said, It was A way To Express How Greatfull I Am For Getting The Atention & Patiance From Exp' Users." ...which doesn't really make sense.
yup you right. I quoted you, wanned to mention how helpfull yu'v been but that user just ruind my show with his comment (his comment was distracting). So sorry for the misunderstanding
Yeah, no harm no foul. Just sayin it's a LOT less confusing if your reply is actually aimed at the one you're quoting.

About Last Night: The Comeback Colts
By Spike Friedman atIn case you were rocking a CFL jersey in court, here's what you missed in sports on Thursday:
- Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts once again used their comeback magic to eke out a 30-27 win over the Tennessee Titans. "Wow, we were pretty fortunate to get that win," Luck said after the game. When asked by reporters to phrase his comments another way, Luck replied, "It was a hell of a fortuitous outcome, that's for sure. Chance favored us, as we were blessed with kismet." When asked again to phrase what he was saying in perhaps a simpler and more headline-friendly way, Luck said, "Oh, I see. Well, I would say we struck gold with this team. I would say the win was in the cards. Some may say we caught the breaks, that our run has been a fluke, that the gods were smiling upon us, that victory and my team were joined by serendipity. I mean, we got horseshoes on our helmets and clovers in our pockets, so what would you expect?" Luck then glared at the assembled media and added, "Suck it, for me."
- Andre Iguodala's buzzer-beater was the difference as the Golden State Warriors beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 116-115, in a riveting Western Conference battle. "Another tough loss, but we're so close," an optimistic Kevin Durant said at the postgame press conference. "I mean, we're just one player away from being really good. And it's no one's fault that we don't have that guy. This front office and ownership group has only made smart decisions." Durant then went to take a sip of water, when things went horribly awry. Durant started shooting sparks out of his mouth, and saying in a horrific robotic voice, "FAILURE, ROBOTIC FAILURE, MUST POWER DOWN, WHY WOULD YOU PROGRAM ME TO FEEL PAIN?" before collapsing to the ground and bursting into flames. Suddenly, a human Durant burst into the room yelling, "They drugged me! They didn't want me to talk," before looking at his robotic double dying on the ground at his feet. "You tried to play God, you monsters!" Durant yelled, as he held his robot double's head in his hands. "All to save a couple million bucks on the Harden deal. This robot must have cost that much. Curse you, Clay Bennett! Curse you!"

Audit: Michigan Strategic Fund erred in reporting job-creation numbersBy Chris Gautz
The Michigan Strategic Fund has been giving the Legislature a rosier report on the success of its job creation programs than what is actually occurring, a state audit has found. The audit, released today, also found that the Strategic Fund has not been disclosing in its reports to lawmakers that it relies on the companies that have been receiving state assistance to provide the job numbers; the fund does not verify whether the information is accurate. "As a result, the annual report data may have negatively impacted the Legislature's ability to correctly evaluate program results," the audit said. The fund is required to submit to the Legislature on April 1 the results of grants through the 21st Century Jobs Trust Fund's Centers of Energy Excellence program. In the report, the Strategic Fund stated that 75 percent of the jobs projected to be created did materialize. But the audit, submitted by Auditor General Thomas McTavish, found that just 19 percent of those promised jobs were created; one company, in fact, went bankrupt. The bankruptcy was not included in the report, even though it occurred roughly six months earlier. The company, which was not identified in the audit, submitted its job numbers through Sept. 30, 2012; went into bankruptcy in October; and sold to another supplier in January. It had self-reported that it created 12 percent more jobs than had been projected; however, it actually created 19 percent of the projected jobs, the audit found. In a statement, Michael Finney, chairman of the Michigan Strategic Fund and president and CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., said the state is working quickly to correct the problems the audit found. "MEDC is committed to transparency and takes very seriously our responsibility to keep citizens informed about programs and incentives supported by their tax dollars," Finney said in the statement. But the audit also noted that some of the same problems were identified three years ago and that the fund had complied with only one of the five recommendations. One of those recommendations was to fix a problem regarding payments to Procurement Technical Assistance Centers. Contracts between those centers and the MEDC state that payments cannot be sent until the PTAC submits an itemized invoice of its expenses so the state can ensure they were qualifying expenses. The recent audit found evidence that PTACs did not submit itemized reports, although payments were still handed out. The audit also found that the Strategic Fund did not always ensure that recipients complied with the provisions of their grants. With several programs, including the 2006 and 2008 Business Plan Competitions, the Strategic Fund never looked at performance data or evaluated the programs' effectiveness. The audit looked at the grant recipients and found that just 22 percent of the projected jobs materialized. In one instance, an unidentified company claimed it would create 600 jobs; it created just seven. In his statement, Finney said a number of steps have been taken to address these issues. He said more robust policies and procedures are being developed. Finney also said the MEDC supports House Bill 4480, which would consolidate the 21 annual reports the state has to submit on the 21st Century Jobs Trust Fund program into one annual report. "This will greatly assist the MEDC in producing a more complete and understandable legislative report on these programs," Finney said. Chris Gautz: (517) 403-4403, email@example.com.

Coast Guard: 4 on raft alive
Empty raft with clothes, food, Cuban ID card washes ashore in Miami
A Styrofoam raft with clothes, food, a Santeria altar and a Cuban national ID card washed ashore in Miami, and the Coast Guard said the four people seen on-board it are alive.
The raft was discovered Saturday near the Black Point Marina. Nancy, who declined to provide her last name, and her husband found it as they walked a trail at the marina.
"At the end of the trail was a raft, an empty raft," she said.
Inside the 12-foot raft was an altar to Elegua, the Santeria god that opens and closes all paths to mankind.
There was also a Cuban ID card that could have helped the owner stay in the U.S. under the "wet foot, dry foot" policy.
The Coast Guard said witnesses saw four people on-board the raft from the Carnival Valor
"They started asking for help, or yelling for help I should say, and that's when the cruise ship Carnival Valor saw them and picked them up," said Jon-Paul Rios with the Coast Guard.
The crew fed the four and kept them on-board for a week, said Rios.
More than 350 rafters made it to the U.S. in the 12 months that ended Sept. 30. The number who died trying to cross the Florida Straits is unknown.

6th Grade

As a student half way through my last year in elementary, the transition between divisions piqued my curiosity. Even though some teachers don't consider the transition between elementary and middle school one of the most important, Mrs. Sara Khoury disagreed, "I think that the transition is the biggest transition students go through in their student lives," she said, as I questioned her on the transition.
A step into middle school also comes with some requirements, "You definitely need more responsibility," stated Mohammad H., a newly promoted 6th grader. Mrs.Khoury also thought that moving into 6th grade required increased responsibility, "Going from E.S. to M.S. is going from being with one room with teachers coming to you to suddenly having a locker outside the classroom and having to organize yourself, you need to organize your time, you have to remember your schedule and were the rooms are, so there's a lot of new responsibility that falls on the students' shoulders." The chance to have the time and space to move freely also requires enhanced independence.
Excitement has stirred around the 5th grade hall as the thought of moving up has passed around the students. I asked Hadi A. how excited he was, "I am extremely excited," he said, "but I will miss this building." I asked Mohammad, "I much prefer M.S.," he answered with enthusiasm.
Moving into middle school is very exciting and moving in will be extremely nerve wracking, and as 2011 comes to a close the transition is ever closer.
Christmas Time

Christmas time is coming and decorations are starting to appear on every shop window. People are starting to put up their Christmas trees and and rushing about all the time, fearing that they won't get everyone's gifts in time. The feeling of Christmas is something different from the feeling of the west. Instead of snow, the sun shines through every day of the month. The heat may be different and yet people come out covered in layer after layer after layer of thick clothing. Back in the U.K. walking on the pavement was not an option, for they were covered in ice! Never the less, the spirit of Christmas stretches across all four corners of the earth, and Lebanon's no exception.

I bought CoolIT ECO A.L.C. from Newegg because my Mini P180 is very limited in space and my Iceage 120 Boss II made switching out hardware a pain in the ass (and my hands, cut myself twice). I was going to buy either the H50 or ECO, whichever I could find for a better price and Newegg had the ECO for $83 shipped w/ a $20 rebate. I ordered it on Saturday and it came Wednesday, so shipping/delivery was on time. I took apart my system to put back the motherboard's stock backplate, removed the rear fan, and then proceeded to install the ECO. However, right out of the shipping box I noticed that the ECO's retail box was NOT shrink wrapped like the one I bought from Directron a while ago, and the corners of the box were dented. I took the unit out and noticed that the AM2 mounting hardware was not stuck together (very hard to describe) & was not wrapped in plastic like the one from Directron. The installation guide (one sheet of paper) was slightly wrinkled & had a tiny spec of red on it, something like ketchup. By now I was very skeptical, and not surprisingly I took the ECO out of the its Styrofoam housing and BAM the radiator had a ton of bent fins. Granted, Newegg gave me an RMA # and a shipping label to send back the piece of junk for a refund, but what the hell? Do they even check the hardware before approving an RMA? Or did they ship me a used unit hoping I have down syndrome?
my guess is either hoping you have down syndrome or just an honest mistake by an overworked order picker
I love Newegg & all, but this is ridiculous. The only reason they didn't realize the ECO was so banged up was that they didn't even open the damn box when they received it back. That or the person inspecting the unit was blind. I don't get it though, isn't it standard protocol to check RMA items? It probably was returned by some jackass who claimed it was 'never opened', but the box corners were dented and it was so blatantly obvious that the unit was previously opened (the flap/tab thingy was sticking out a bit) that it should have never made it back to their shelves along with the actual brand new units.
Agreed -- I've had very few problems with newegg -- and when there's been a mess up, they've always been great about getting the error resolved. Only issue I have recently is that their prices seem to be higher than a lot of brick and mortar stores here in houston.
I agree that Newegg does ship some questionable items sometimes, but considering their volume, they have a pretty good track record. They check returns for "functionality", not aesthetics. I bought an open box Mobo that was $40.00 cheaper that new, only to find that the 2nd PCI-E traces were destroyed. I was going to RMA it, but it only cost me $51.00 and it was rock solid except for the 2nd PCI-E slot. I understand your anger expecting something new and receiving an open box instead. hang in there an endure the RMA process. Hopefully everything works out with the replacement. Nobody's perfect, but Newegg is still the best overall.
I am leaning towards an over worked individual who is working for them .. it happens...Hey just be glad its newegg that your dealing with or you could have been even more disappointed.
Newegg sells their RMA'd items as Open Box items. So if you bought a retail version and not an Open Box, then more than likely it was a simple mistake. Either the returned item got put in the wrong place and shipped back out as retail, or someone just grabbed the wrong one off the shelf when packing your order. You definitely take chances like this with open box items. I had a similar experience with a P5N32 board. Though in my case the second pair of RAM slots didn't work. I simply RMA'd it through ASUS for a brand new board. Newegg will make things right, sometimes better than right(e.g. they've given me store credit twice in the past because of their mistakes).
This would make sense if I bought a recertified, open box, or refurbished item. I paid retail price for that thing expecting a retail product. Color stains on the manual (which is a single sheet of paper so if they even checked it would have been impossible to miss), signs of wear and tear on the packaging, no shrink wrapping, and half a row of bent fins on the radiator that weren't even black anymore? Really? >_> ANYBODY who went as far as to open the package would have seen the damaged radiator.
i got some of those lcd picture frames for are moms from newegg i still havent sent them out but im ??? they seek open box or like a referbished cuz the boxes look like they been around the block a few times like some of the things it came with sees like someone put them back in after opening it it has two stickers on the tab you open to open the side makes me think there where returned and sold as new
I do not order anything off the "open box" shelf over at newegg. Most of it are just returns from prior customers. They look at it for 2 seconds before listing it as a restock and selling it to someone that will return it again for the same reason. Read the reviews under the item labled "open box" and the comments will probably leave a trail to what's in your basket.
FTFY That is what open box is, customer returns. I don't really have a problem ordering them, because I know what to expect, and know how to deal with missing parts. I like saving the money.

The Glendon Bar & Kitchen
Online Reservations
I went here for a lunch meeting. We were thankful to find a great Westwood location on such short notice. The staff at the Glendon was great. We were promptly seated upon arrival. Always a plus. Everyone from the host to the wait staff made us feel welcome; giving us enough time to decide on a selection, but not being more than whisper away. Our waiter was helpful in helping us make a selection from the menu, and our food was warm when served. The only down side we experienced was the seating. The booth seat I sat in was overly depressed causing me to become sort of stuck in it. My companion's chair was unstable to the point they felt as if they would fall.
It's a fun and friendly restaurant serving good food with a hip bar flair. The service is very attentive and personal. The noise level can get rather high when full.
I love this place. We've eaten there many times and have always had terrific food and service. The only complaint I have are the seats. Every time I sit down, I feel like I'm at a level too low to eat, and I'm 5'9" tall. However, if that's my only complaint, they're doing a good job of otherwise satisfying their patrons.
Had an intimate birthday celebration and the restaurant staff were incredibly friendly. Our waitress was very respectful when interrupting the conversation to ask us if we needed anything else. Great martinis!
We went to the Glendon for a late lunch/afternoon brunch before my daughters UCLA graduation. The service and food was excellent. New had a party of 15 and everyone received their food and drinks at the same time. Our server was great. Everyone in the party thought it was a great choice.
When you get off work at 10pm you're usually stuck with 24hr diner food or drive thru. Surprisingly, not only is the Glendon serving a full menu that late, but they start a second happy hour at 10pm so there are a slew of small plates for $6 each, plus well drinks for $5.50. I didn't ask about the other brands, but their well bourbon is Evan Williams which ain't too shabby. I'll be back.
Loved this restaurant! We had a reservation and were seated right away. Menu had a good variety and prices were very reasonable. We ordered a pizza off of the happy hour menu, which was 1/2 price, and delicious. We had the veggie pizza and the Namaste Chicken salad. Both were amazing. Service was terrific too. We didn't have dessert, but they looked yummy too. The only downside is the high noise level, so don't go if u want a quiet dinner. I will definitely go back!
Went on the Sat. of a long weekend and it was not crowded at all. Might be a bit more energetic in it were busier.
My friend and I went this past Saturday and had a wonderful time! The happy hour menu is great, we ordered exclusively off of it and were stuffed by the end of our meal. The food at the tables around us looked great as well! Seems like it would be a fun place to go at night and take advantage of the late-night happy hour prices. The service was a little slow, and it took us a while to get served after sitting down, but other than that it was still a fun experience.
I had penne pasta and chicken for lunch and it was excellent. Their menu should offer more variety and maybe fewer carbs, but overall the food is very, very good.
We were looking for something new and interesting in the restaurant week offerings. Saw their 3 course prix- fixe offer and it looked appealing. We were very happy with the selections and each of our courses was perfect! And the service was great. They have a very long high table in the middle of the restaurant, and we thought this could be an excellent place to bring a group of our friends after an upcoming event planned at UCLA.
Our first time at the restaurant, a pleasant surprise. The salad was excellent, with a home made dressing. We had two pastas both of which were well prepared with very tasty sauces. We had a child with us and they were flexible in preparing a pizza for him just the way he wanted it. The pizzas were thin crusted, which we prefer. The final surprise was desert. We had a bread pudding, which was a little like french toast in character, and exceptionally good. We also had chocolate chip cookies, which were made to order, warm, with a good quality chocolate--outstanding. Service was excellent and we had a nice talk with the owner as we left. In sum, the food and service were outstanding and we shall return soon.
We have passed this location in our car a half dozen times and never noticed it. This restaurant is so subtly advertised that you could easily miss it, but don't. The garlic fries were addictive. The Cajun crab pasta is sublime. There is little doubt we will return to this incredible eatery and it is within walking distance of the Geffen Playhouse.
We had never been here, but based on reviews decided to try it out since we were in the area. It was an awesome find! The food was super, the cocktails, awesome, service attentive but not intrusive, and really comfortable seating and atmosphere. It was perfect for what we were looking for that night! It is a casual and comfortable eatery and bar with a solid menu. We really enjoyed it!
Nice casual atmosphere, relaxed. A little noisy, even with the place only half full and the service was slower than I might have liked. I would have ordered another drink if the waiter had seen I'd finished my first. Great happy hour menu (pizzas, wings, etc) and good selection of beers. A small place hidden in Westwood without signage or the traffic of nearby Westwood Brewing Co.
The Glendon is great dining experience for those on a budget but who still want good ambiance. Everything on the menu is mouth watering and the happy hour is amazing.
Finally a decent restaurant close to the theater and just across the street from validated theater parking. We ordered some beautiful thin crust pizzas off the happy hour menu, although the waitress did warn us that due to the pizzas' popularity, they were soon to be removed from the happy hour menu. In any case, a good place for a bite before a play. And they accommodated a large party that came in right after us with ease.
We were celebrating our anniversary. It is a fun lively place to get together with friends. We went there because it is close to the theatre and it has good reviews. We enjoyed it but I don't consider it great for special occasions.
Super service and nice lunch selections for reasonable prices!
We made an opentable reservation for 16 and ended up with more like 20, but The Glendon was very accommodating and gave us all excellent service! We love the food here, especially since they specialize in truffle! You can truffle anything! Good drinks too.
Though I have walked passed before, I had never tried this spot until last night. Great atmosphere, good food, good drinks and decent prices! Will definitely be turning to my new fave' spot!
Nice. It has good size portions of well prepared food. The place is nothing to look at. We were there at an off time; in fact, we were the only customers for a little while (Sunday, 5:30 p.m.). A friend tells me that it is usually very crowded and somewhat noisy, though not impossible. We will probably return the next time we are going to the Geffen for a play or UCLA Royce Hall for a concert.
Hard to find high quality meals near Ucla that aren't super expensive... But this Is that middle road menu we wanted. A pub like atmosphere but quiet on a Sunday nite. Interesting choices including fig appetizers, pork belly tacos,and great bread pudding and crusted brownie...all home made desserts! But choices for the non adventurous as well...
With all the turnover in Westwood, it's becoming more difficult to rely on a place for dinner before a game at UCLA, play at the Geffen, or movie in the village. This place has good drinks, a menu with "something for everyone", and can accommodate a couple or a large group. We became acquainted with it for a UCLA get-together and have gone several times since...pizzas, burgers, small plate dishes are all tasty and not over the top expensive if you just want some quality food. The service is a little slow, but friendly.
