Razer first made its mark by launching one of the world's first dedicated range of gaming mice, the Razer Boomslang, and since that success the company has continued developing peripherals year after year that give us gamers the edge that we need to dominate the opposition.
I was fortunate enough to meet with Razer during the recent rAge 2013 gaming expo to get some hands-on time with its latest offerings, and throughout the presentation it was impressed upon me how much emphasis Razer places on community input and feedback, even to the point of developing its latest mouse, the Razer Naga, for left-handed players.
Razer is very serious about satiating the needs of their customers and this can be seen in their staff, all of whom are gamers – it's even a question in a typical Razer job interview: "Do you game? What do you play?" With that in mind, we can be sure that the products from Razer are going to impress even the most hardcore of gamers.
- The Razer Blade Pro
If I could take one thing home from the rAge 2013 presentation room it would have been the Razer Blade Pro. From its 17" full HD screen to its i7 Haswell chipset and Nvidia GTX 765M, it'll make any gamer smile from ear to ear. That's not all, though, because the Blade Pro also has what Razer calls a 'Switchblade' user interface which is located next-to your keyboard and is made up of a touch-screen and ten dynamic adaptive tactile keys which change according to the profiles chosen.
The touch-screen can be used to watch YouTube videos while waiting to respawn in a game, or it can be used to change your load-out during gameplay. Unfortunately at the moment the Razer Blade and Blade Pro are only available in America with Europe to follow soon, but the peripherals are fortunately available in South Africa including the newly released MMO gaming mouse, the Razer Naga.
- The Razer Naga
Razer is definitely a brand trusted by gamers and it's a well earned trust having produced top notch products time and again. When the Razer System starts hitting South African shores, we will definitely see more of these beasts at our local LAN events and competitions.

This looks like one of Sergey's rehoused lens recently on ebay. Maybe Sergey or someone close to him you could follow up with.
Have made contact with EMS office Russia. They have no knowledge of a parcel with the tracking number that Sergey gave me.
Rob i think you only have 1 option get a russian solicitor in the uk and let the solicitor deal with it and forget about it.You will get your money back and i would also tell the bank manager about the problem.A very good friend of mine works in a bank but would it even help if there is a way of getting an address.
Unfortunately, I know nothing, Bob. I only know what others and my own experience can add on topic.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he would come up, addressing he's simply not aware of it because he has been in vacations and thought the lenses would already be with you, following up the shipping information you received from him.
I think as grown-up people we all just know what matters now... is to guarantee the money placed with him is not lost, minimizing other eventual losses with the whole hassle.
Let's hope for a happy end as best as possible. Fingers crossed.

While most of the images of Israel presented to the American public are of military conflict, a recent mission to Israel sponsored by The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, which included City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, City Council President Alex Padilla, Cesar Chavez Foundation President Andres Irlando and myself, revealed something very different. We saw a multiethnic democracy full of citizens, with jaw-dropping stories of survival, demonstrating incredible resilience.
Halfway around the world, we encountered a small nation confronting many of the same challenges we face in Los Angeles and returned convinced that increased contact between Los Angeles and Israel can facilitate the solution of many complex problems at home.

Soft Side Braids
When it comes to essential hairstyles for the red carpet, we've noticed that one style continues to attract top-notch tastemakers: the soft side braid. Most recently popularized by Miu Miu's S/S 10 runway-yes, the look Guido created for a show two and a half years ago is still going strong-the soft side braid is a decidedly down-to-earth way to wear your hair. Carefree and casually cool, it's no wonder why everyone from boldface names (Beyonce) to beloved actresses (Rashida Jones) to European fashion plates (Clemence Poesy) adores this style. In celebration of this easy-to-achieve look that captivates all the cool girls, we called up stylist John Ruggiero-he's responsible for the iteration Elizabeth Olsen debuted at the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards last month-and asked him to walk us through his process. Here's the good news: The style works best on second-day hair, so remember that the next time you get a blowout!
If you're starting from scratch, the key is to get the right texture before you start braiding. If you have fine or medium textured hair, Ruggiero suggests spraying your whole head with Bumble and bumble's Surf Spray ($24), which is what he used on Olsen. Mist each section of your hair, but don't get it totally damp; you want body, not frizz. Next, Ruggiero blew out Olsen's hair, using his hands instead of brushes and directing the hair to one side. "You don't want a defined part," he says. "It should be very loosely done, so it looks effortlessly side-swept." If you don't want to dampen and dry your hair, you can also use Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray ($19.50) to achieve the correct texture, Ruggiero says. Another option is to curl your hair first, as this will add some bulk to your braid. Don't spend lots of time creating the perfect waves, Ruggiero advises. Just be sure to curl your hair in different directions and don't be afraid to rough it up a bit once you're done. As for those of you who have curly hair, our mane man says you'll want to prep your hair in the opposite way, using a grooming cream to define the curl instead of bulking it up.
Once you have the right foundation, the rest is a snap! Your hair should already be swept to one side, so merely braid it as you see fit and secure it with a clear elastic. If a piece falls out on the opposite side of your braid, Ruggiero says not to fret, simply leave it in place or you can pin it back. Once you're done, Ruggiero also suggests going into the braid and loosening it up slightly-your plait shouldn't be super tight. And there you have it: a fuss-free hairstyle, inspired by the runways and red carpet, that's as easy as can be. It's practically perfect-no wonder why everyone loves a soft side braid!

How can you support the Orchestra?
Langham Arts Trust is a completely self-supporting organisation channelling all our resources back into the unique ministry of the All Souls Orchestra, so we value the help (financial, practical and prayerful) of friends and supporters.There are a variety of ways to help: you could join the Orchestra, or the Support team, or even help organise an event. But if you are not able to do any of these, we really appreciate the financial contributions others are able to make.
Live music is a cost-intensive exercise and whilst some events are able to generate a surplus contribution others are not so we are reliant on sales of recordings and additional donations to allow us to continue to support these events and develop other new ones, such as the schools project (see news for up-to-date needs).
Here are some of the ways you can help:
- Make a donation
Individual UK Friends (one-off, standing order or even through your pay packet)
Overseas Friends (multi-currency)
- Join the Corporate Partnership (for members of the business community)
- Be creative
We have some suggestions for ways to help even if you can't make a financial gift:
Organise a Fundraising event
Or have a look at these other ideas

SWINDON TOWN: Draw is a damp squib after action-packed week at the County Ground
6:00am Monday 22nd October 2012 in Sport By Sam Morshead
AT the end of a fortnight stuffed with panic, pandemonium and Sir William Patey, this was about as underwhelming an anti-climax as anyone associated with Swindon Town could possibly have anticipated.
To be honest, even matching the intensity of 14 days which included the revelations of a transfer embargo, a tremendous comeback against Coventry, the removal of former chairman Jeremy Wray, the appointment of a former high-ranking diplomat in his place and the subsequent speculation over manager Paolo Di Canio's future would have been a decent effort.
But instead the County Ground crowd were treated, nay subjected, to an occasion that lacked substance or style and which ended, disappointingly, in stalemate.
Swindon were not poor, but they were classy neither. Despite possessing quite evidently more ability on the ball and more fitness off it, the Robins failed to secure the kind of win they really must be making second nature if they are to have realistic aspirations of promotion from League One this season.
Aden Flint's sending-off, for two unnecessary yellow cards within 15 minutes of each other, gave the visitors the lifeline they so desperately needed; such was the gulf in class in the half-hour before the centre-back's dismissal.
By that time Town were already a goal ahead, thanks to James Collins' fine finish at the end of a swift and devastating move which ripped the Scunny defence apart.
But having to play the best part of 65 minutes with 10 men took its toll, even on Di Canio's uber-fit squad.
Passes went astray from time to time, decision-making was not as intelligent as it should have been and in the end all it took was one moment of quality from a visiting player to split the points between the sides.
Karl Hawley, otherwise anonymous and living up to a scoring record of just 16 goals in 159 appearances since he left Carlisle in 2007, produced a brilliant, deft header from Mark Duffy's right-wing cross to beat Wes Foderingham.
With Swindon continuing to be alarmingly profligate at the other end, as Darren Ward, Adam Rooney and Gary Roberts all spurned glorious chances to score Town's second, Scunny were able to hold on – despite having the man advantage – for a valuable point.
It's impossible to say whether the boardroom reshuffle has sent even the weakest of shockwaves through the dressing room – every player who has been asked insists the reverberations are well above their heads, but it was hardly inspiring.
As ever, Town started brightly.
Jay McEveley, Paul Benson and James Collins produced a slick passing move down the left in the third minute, only for Collins to see his shot blocked, before referee Pat Miller waved away Nathan Thompson's claims for a penalty when he toppled dramatically in the penalty area.
Scunny briefly threatened when Leon Clarke, returning to his old stropping ground and soaking up a torrent of tantrum-related chants from the Swindon fans, headed Jimmy Ryan's cross over the bar - but the hosts quickly raced back into the ascendancy.
McEveley was livid that his superb, fizzing cross wasn't turned home in the 15th minute, but less than three minutes later Swindon had the lead.
Collins started the move wide on the right, feeding Matt Ritchie inside him who in turn laid the ball onto Simon Ferry.
Ferry's pass to Benson was neatly flicked on by the frontman to his strike partner, who cut inside the diving challenge of Paul Reid to slide beneath Chris Slocombe.
It was a stunning team effort, and for a few short seconds reminded the Swindon players, management and fans exactly how good they are.
Eight minutes after taking the lead, the Robins should have opened up a sizeable advantage.
Ferry's inch-perfect pass sent Ritchie clear through on goal, only for Slocombe to make himself big and take ball and man in one inglorious bundle.
Swindon seemed to be in cruise control, easing the ball around midfield and leaving their guests chasing shadows. However, with 12 minutes left of the first half, the balance of the game shifted.
Flint, already booked for a careless lunge on Clarke, appeared to trip the former Town striker as he went through on goal. Despite the protestations of his teammates, referee Miller handed him his standing orders. Suddenly Swindon had to regroup.
Alan McCormack replaced Benson, leaving Collins to run the channels alone, and having reached the break still in front Town faced another 45 minutes of hard graft.
Three minutes into the second period Ward sent a glancing header from Tommy Miller's corner wide of Slocombe's goal. It was a miss that was to prove costly.
Hawley may hardly be the most menacing of prospects given his goals-per-game ratio but out of nowhere he popped up with the leveller 11 minutes after the interval.
Clarke, given too much time in possession, picked out Duffy on the right. Duffy, given too much time in possession, swung in a delicious to the near post. Hawley, yep you've guessed it, crept in front of Ward to head home.
Swindon heads dropped, minds switched off and two minutes later they were almost behind.
Clarke wriggled free in the area and lashed goalwards, only for Foderingham to leap to his right and push the ball to safety.
After their momentary paralysis, Town soon clicked back into gear and started to dominate territory and possession.
But with 10 minutes remaining Scunthorpe again came within a whisker of snatching victory.
Duffy split Swindon's back four in two with a scything through-ball and substitute Andy Barcham bore down on goal.
The winger beat Foderingham with a delicate chip but could not direct it inside the Town stopper's right-hand post. It was a major let-off and the visitors' last chance of any real note.
Instead, for the final 10 minutes, Swindon flooded forward in search of a winner of their own.
Rooney should have had one when he dragged his shot wide when played clear by Ritchie's header, but Roberts' miss two minutes earlier was even more wasteful.
Troy Archibald-Henville nodded Miller's corner into the wide man's path and, six yards from goal and unmarked, Roberts could only sidefoot volley over.
It summed up the afternoon.

A word from Benchmark Restaurant
Located in the heart of Brooklyn's Park Slope, Benchmark features a New American menu focused on pasture-raised animals and locally-grown produce. Chef Ryan Jaronik has created a diverse menu that melds the traditional and the contemporary with global influences. Featured is a section of à la carte
steaks and chops offering up to five different cuts, including a 24oz Bone-in Ribeye and an 11oz Filet Mignon. Other favorites include Duck Confit Salad with Frisée, Lardons and a Poached Egg and a Trio of Beef Shortribs.
Between the '20s & '40s, the space that now occupies Benchmark was used as an icehouse and major way station for goods that that arrived on the banks of the Gowanas Canal. While excavating, several "benchmarks" (surveyor's marks) were found, along with architects' tools, some of which are displayed on the restaurant's walls. Benchmark's rich history and naturally rustic interior is enhanced by warm exposed brick, arched windows and spacious garden seating.

Forum Index » Pre-Trip Planning » Big SEKI Loop (as an alternative to the JMT)
"Can you take Diamox if you get altitude sickness, or do you have to take it before as a preventative?"You can take it either way, but for those prone to AMS, prophylaxis saves some initial discomfort.Edited: I just read Bob's post. His advice about staying hydrated is on the mark, but that is good mountain policy in general. Diamox has a diuretic effect, and what goes out needs to be replaced.
Edited by ouzel on 02/19/2013 20:06:58 MST.
This is fantastic. You have put a lot of hard work into describing it for people.While many people could do this without resupply, there are others who can't or won't want to walk 15+ mile days, and WILL want a resupply. It might be helpful to list Kearsarge Pass/Onion Valley as the easiest resupply exit.- Elizabeth
Question about permitsIf I go clockwise, I'de get a permit for Copper Creek. I bet that's lower use. That would entitle me to do the entire loop?Would I be able to get a permit a few days after Labor Day or should I make a reservation?Is there any place near Roads End where I could camp out over night?Then I could just get up the next morning and pick up my permit? They open at 7 AM.
I'm pretty familiar with Sequoia and Kings Canyon. They are administered as a single park."If I go clockwise, I'de get a permit for Copper Creek. I bet that's lower use. That would entitle me to do the entire loop?"Lots of backpackers want to go up Copper Creek simply because it is right there at Roads End. Unfortunately, it is quite an uphill march, so I would not recommend it to the faint of heart. Of course, if you try to start out over Avalanche Pass, it is even worse."Would I be able to get a permit a few days after Labor Day or should I make a reservation?"It's hard to say. Reservations are almost always more reliable."Is there any place near Roads End where I could camp out over night?"Yes, Cedar Grove is about six miles back down the road, and there are some big car campgrounds there."Then I could just get up the next morning and pick up my permit? They open at 7 AM."Yes and no. Lots of backpackers try to do it that way. They roll into one of the Cedar Grove campgrounds, spend the night, then drive up to Roads End at the crack of dawn. Then they discover a waiting line that has been forming at the permit station. Often the people waiting are striving to get into the walkup permit quota for the most popular trails, like the Rae Lakes Loop one way or the other.I have gotten excellent results by reserving my permit, and then picking it up in the afternoon the day before I actually start out. That also allows me to hit the trail at 6:00 a.m. while it is cool and not wait until 7:30 or 8:00 like the waiting line people do.Yes, one permit will allow you to travel the entire loop. Technically, if you leave the loop and go to town for resupply, you will need a new permit to re-start there. Some people have devised good methods for legally working around that.--B.G.--
Edited by --B.G.-- on 02/22/2013 17:39:04 MST.
Thanks Bob (and Amy and...)They close at like 2:45PM so I'de almost have to leave a day earlier because it takes two days to drive there (14 hours) oh well, maybe I could go further the first day and get up early the second day to get to the permit station well before 2:45PM.Are there vacancies in Cedar Grove campgrounds?Another thing, do you really have to carry out your toilet paper? Not that big a deal - two zip bags - I've become acustomed to draining the poop tank in my RV which has to be way worse - but sort of weird.Maybe I should wait a week after Labor Day and start on the next Sunday or something.
"Are there vacancies in Cedar Grove campgrounds?"Yes and no, as you would expect. I generally make a point of arriving on some weekday away from the holidays. I try to arrive there early, about the time that others are leaving, 9-11 a.m., so I always score a site. If you are picky or have an RV, then there might not be so many perfect spots. There are black bears that prowl around those campgrounds, and they will steal your dinner in the blink of an eye. Then they run across the river to make your pursuit unlikely.I generally try to arrive early like that and spend the rest of that day doing some short easy hiking. That may help with altitude adjustment.I believe that the permit station ranger makes the same statements about toilet paper. I won't tell you what to do. Let's just say that some backpackers have gotten used to burning up their used toilet paper and then burying the remaining ashes in the hole. Besides, backpacker's toilet paper is very thin and produces very little ash when it is burned.--B.G.--
What??? You make a fire in the Sierras??? I would think that wouldn't be such a good idea.
"What??? You make a fire in the Sierras???"Surely you jest. I never said that I made a fire.There are some places where wood fires are forbidden. There are some places where all open fires are forbidden. There are places where there are legal fire rings, and you are forbidden from constructing any new fire rings. There are some times of the year when lots of stuff is forbidden. You just have to be aware of the rules in effect for the time and place you planned.--B.G.--
Cool info on some great hiking ideas. Coming in from the east, I really like the ability to basically find an access trail, and then make that my start/finish point on the loop. That could save a ton of time with regards to driving time. Thanks for the ideas!
This is a great thread. A resupply near the midpoint is possible using Sequoia Kings Pack Train on the JMT at the Kearsarge Pass junction. They only require a 1/2 day to get to that point so the billing is only a one day use of packer and mule. I've used their service 4 years now. (I do the JMT annually, will be doing my 6th this summer. I've done the High Sierra Trail for 7 years prior to that.)Another option is you can do the High Sierra Trail as a lasso-loop round trip that is around 150 miles long, nearly the same length as what you show. It enables a resupply at Lone Pine, via HorseShoe Meadow Trailhead (less costly than use of the Packers at the Kearsarge Pass junction). I've done it. Great hike.Start in Crescent Meadows in SEKI.At Kern River meetup on the High Sierra Trail (HST), go downriver, not upriver (as the HST states), go downriver 9 miles to Kern Canyon Ranger Station where there is a suspension bridge over the river.Cross river, go east about 18 miles to Horseshoe Meadows TH, resupply via Lone Pine (Whitney SHuttle Service or hitchhike from TH to Lone Pine), stay overnight in Dow Villa, enjoy hot spa, and get back to Horseshoe Meadows TH before 24 hours has elapsed to avoid losing your permit. Get back onto trail but head north on the PCT up to Crabtree Meadows. From there go up to Whitney Summit and Back, then head back to Crescent Meadows via the normal HST route, and you'll get back to the Kern River junction where you originally went downriver, but now you'll stay on the HST to get back to Crescent Meadows. Great hike. You'd need two maps Tom Harrison SEKI/Whitney high country map and the Golden Trout Wilderness map from Tom Harrison.Advantage of this hike is that you end up where you started, easier to deal with logistics. There is a shuttle bus from Crescent Meadows to Lodgepole, and from there to Visalia, CA where there is a small airport or buses to major airports.
To echo the sentiments of others, this is a fantastic thread and one of the reasons I rejoined BPL as a forum member. I would chime in here that during last year's early season hike of the JMT (when we ran into a ton of PCT thru-hikers headed north), I couldn't help but think that there had to be other spectacular routes that would provide far more solitude in the Sierra. I started researching routes this winter with the idea of returning again in a few years. Lo and behold Amy did a lot of this work for us!I agree with Roleigh on the importance of logistics. The loop aspect of this hike is very appealing (as are the cross country opportunities) primarily because you can save a lot of time and effort at the end of the trip. Leaving via the east side of the Sierra presents logistical challenges that can extend the time it takes to return home. The ETA, for example, doesn't run buses on weekends. Thank you for this thread, Amy. Great work!Dirk
You don't need Google Earth to view KML (or KMZ) files, if the file is posted on a public web site like Amy's.Just paste the address of the KML into the Google Maps Search box and press Return.You'll get something like this:Some KML files are too complex to view this way, but most work fine.Great loop, you've got me thinking, thanks!-- Rex

Provocative Dutch Ideas Showcased at TEDxBinnenhof 'Innovation' Event
"It's not allowed to say that broccoli prevents cancer. But it's okay to promote sugar and say candy bars give energy. Twisted?"
This thought-provoking question comes from Rob Baan, a micro-entrepreneur in the field of agriculture. Rob was one of 10 speakers at TEDxBinnenhof. In his talk, he made a case for a return to common sense in our eating and farming habits.
At the TEDxBinnenhof Catwalk for Innovation, 10 Dutch speakers were given a chance to share their pioneering ideas on tackling global challenges such as pollution, healthcare costs and climate change. Maarten Beelen, for example, proposed a robot revolution: high-tech machines that can be used for risky eye operations. Allard van Hoeken captivated the audience with his ideas of harnessing the power of the tides to generate clean energy. And Niki Fens illuminated some of the possibilities associated with exhaled breath analysis (breathomics), a potential tool for diagnosing and monitoring disease.
The event was held in the Ridderzaal in The Hague on June 25, and live-streamed to viewing parties at 39 Dutch embassies and a number of locations in the Netherlands.

Thread: Exhaust Confusion
Exhaust Confusion
I really want to change my exhaust on my 2007 new body style silverado. its the 5.3 engine and it cuts back to 4 cyl from 8 when cruising. Now the confusion, I have been told if you put on dual exhaust it will sound like a helicopter when it goes from 8 to 4. So with that said what are my options, do you have to get a tuner to turn this feature off? Can I just cut off the muffler, please help. hopefully this makes sense. I have always had true duals on my other trucks and this truck has been quiet way to long. thanks

05-04-2011, 10:11 AM #2Yes they do sound funny when there running in the 4cyl. mode. A Diablo Preditor can be used to turn off the DOD, plus you can adjust your LongTremFuelTrims (LTFT's) this helps with mpg's, throttle response and all around performance. Plus you have many other mods you can do with it.
05-04-2011, 10:19 AM #3I installed a Magnaflow Duel exhaust on my '10 GMC Sierra with the 5.3L and Variable Valve Timing. When in V-4 mode, I do notice a deeper thrum in the exhaust noise that reminded me more of a prop plane at cruising speed. I will say though that with the system I had installed, the sound change is very subtle, and not that loud. After working closely around aircraft for a good 3 years on a carrier, I do find the sound quite soothing!

It's already been weeks since Chief Justice Corona was ousted from office of the Judiciary Department after receiving a "guilty" conviction on the country's controversial impeachment trial.
Many of us have thought that the judgment will take longer than expected, yet a 45-month duration has successfully concluded the court case. A lot of things have transpired during this historic event making an essential experience for everyone in the government and for the rest of the nation.
Though we were a lot entertained with the heightened episodes as the court proceedings reached its last leg, many are still pondering. So the chief justice was impeached, what to do now?
The government is up until this moment, diligent to find us the next commendable head to run the judiciary branch. Speculations suggest that the next chief justice could come out of the current roster of the Supreme Court, which most professional counsels have expressed that doing so is unorthodox yet plausible.
Other than scrutinizing every detail for the eligibility of the succeeding chief justice, it has awakened the awareness of the public about the laws of state and somehow enlightened us that many of our public servants are possible to have the same misgivings as that of the ejected Corona. The impeachment should have marked and served as a stepping stone for the search for truth and honesty among the people in the government as we are all aware that our nation's administration has contributed to the world's corruption. I hope it is just not another reason to keep our current leader's ratings high and nothing more than just good publicity. I suppose we had enough of the fault-finding and time to keep up with the needs of the people.
Soon a new chief justice will take the seat but for the majority of the public, a systematic and honest public organization is what we always hope for. We can impeach everyone but when will it ever stop?

Ninety-five to ninety-eight percent of GMU's require no preference points—or just a single preference point—in order to draw a limited license in those units. Take a look at the number of points required to hunt in the area you selected.
Preference points are earned when you apply for a limited license but are unsuccessful in drawing a license for your first choice.
You can also apply just for the purpose of earning a preference point or purchase a point through the application process. However, all the hunter education and Habitat Stamp requirements must be successfully completed before applying. The goal here would be to save up preference points to have a better advantage next year or whenever you choose. Preference points earned in the current year cannot be applied until the following year.
You can apply for a preference point and still buy an OTC license the same year.
How to Scout Your Area Before Buying a License
The Big Game Brochure contains the GMU map (11MB) and tips about some areas. The interactive brochure contains some great introductory and how-to videos. You can also download the PDF version, order the printed version online or pick up a copy at a CPW wildlife office or a license agent.
State Wildlife Area Maps: Many Colorado Parks and Wildlife Areas provide opportunities to hunt and fish.
Big game hunting guides: These guides provide hunting information for Colorado, split into four areas. Included are statistics, directories—and some great hunting tips for each area.
Also consider:Road and trail closures can unexpectedly ruin your hunting trip. Check for road/land closures in the area you plan to hunt.
Be informed about the pine bark beetle epidemic. It's a huge problem in some parts of Colorado and can cause road and trail closures, affect herd movements, among other problems. Get the latest information from the US Forest Service about pine bark beetle mitigation work that may take place near your planned hunting area.
Other Helpful Sources of Information
The Colorado Outdoors Magazine contains great content about hunting and fishing, among other Colorado outdoor topics. The Jan/Feb issue publishes the annual population data for Colorado deer, elk and pronghorn herds and is a great planning tool for hunters applying for limited licenses. A one-year, bi-monthly subscription is $13. The subscription includes your choice of either the annual Hunting Guide or Fishing Guide ($5 each if purchased separately). Some back issues also available for $2.95 each.
Improve your skills in the field—for before and after the hunt: Buy Down to the Bone and Elk Hunting, Colorado, DVDs, for just $17.95 each.Considering the services of an outfitter or guide? A list of state-licensed outfitters and guides is available at http://www.coloradooutfitters.org/. Also, look over Finding an Elk Hunt Outfitter from Elk Hunting University. Consider camping at a Colorado State Park. Park passes and off-highway vehicle (OHV) permits can be purchased online.

Monitoring Mars
Life from Space
Most scientists have long assumed that life on Earth is a homegrown phenomenon. According to the conventional hypothesis, the earliest living cells emerged as a result of chemical evolution on our planet billions of years ago in a process called abiogenesis. The alternative possibility--that living cells or their precursors arrived from space--strikes many people as science fiction. Developments over the past decade, however, have given new credibility to the idea that Earth's biosphere could have arisen from an extraterrestrial seed.
Planetary scientists have learned that early in its history our solar system could have included many worlds with liquid water, the essential ingredient for life as we know it. Recent data from NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers corroborate previous suspicions that water has at least intermittently flowed on the Red Planet in the past. It is not unreasonable to hypothesize that life existed on Mars long ago and perhaps continues there. Life may have also evolved on Europa, Jupiter's fourth-largest moon, which appears to possess liquid water under its icy surface. Saturn's biggest satellite, Titan, is rich in organic compounds; given the moon's frigid temperatures, it would be highly surprising to find living forms there, but they cannot be ruled out. Life may have even gained a toehold on torrid Venus. The Venusian surface is probably too hot and under too much atmospheric pressure to be habitable, but the planet could conceivably support microbial life high in its atmosphere. And, most likely, the surface conditions on Venus were not always so harsh. Venus may have once been similar to early Earth.

In particular, I am referring to the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
What's the difference between the correlation between $X$ and $Y$ and a linear regression predicting $Y$ from $X$? First, some similarities:
Second, some differences:
| ||||
Here is an answer I posted on the graphpad.com website: Correlation and linear regression are not the same. Consider these differences:
| |||||
In the single predictor case of linear regression, the standardized slope has the same value as the correlation coefficient. The advantage of the linear regression is that the relationship can be described in such a way that you can predict (based on the relationship between the two variables) the score on the predicted variable given any particular value of the predictor variable. In particular one piece of information a linear regression gives you that a correlation does not is the intercept, the value on the predicted variable when the predictor is 0. In short - they produce identical results computationally, but there are more elements which are capable of interpretation in the simple linear regression. If you are interested in simply characterizing the magnitude of the relationship between two variables, use correlation - if you are interested in predicting or explaining your results in terms of particular values you probably want regression. | |||
Correlation analysis only quantifies the relation between two variables ignoring which is dependent variable and which is independent. But before appliyng regression you have to calrify that impact of which variable you want to check on the other variable. | ||||
From correlation we can only get an index describing the linear relationship between two variables; in regression we can predict the relationship between more than two variables and can use it to identify which variables x can predict the outcome variable y. | |||||
Correlation is an index (just one number) of the strength of a relationship. Regression is an analysis (estimation of parameters of a model and statistical test of their significance) of the adequacy of a particular functional relationship. The size of the correlation is related to how accurate the predictions of the regression will be. | |||
Correlation is something more than regression analysis. In correlation, we see only the relationship between two or more variables without being concerned about which variables are independent or dependent; and in regression analysis it is very important to know which is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable to estimate the regression. | |||||

That is one key to staying on track with your resolutions in the New year. I have a list of 9 ways to achieve your goals this year:
1. Make it something you really want. Don't make it a resolution that you "should" want or what other people tell you to want. It has to fit with your own values.
2. Limit your list to a number you can handle.
It's probably best to make two or three resolutions that you intend to keep. That way, you're focusing your efforts on the goals you truly want.
3. Be specific. To be effective, resolutions and
goals need to be pretty specific. Jettison the amorphous "exercise more," in favor of "I'm working out at the gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:30 p.m."
4. Automate. Automating financial goals can maximize
your odds for success without you having to do anything. If your goal is to save $3,000 this year, calculate the amount out of each check, then arrange to have it automatically deposited into your savings account each time you get paid.
5. Make a plan. Rather than stating one daunting
goal, create a series of smaller steps to reach it. Have an action plan. Figure out exactly what you want to do.
6. Be prepared to change some habits. One reason that resolutions fail is people don't change the habits that sabotage them. One potent approach is to realize that all you ever have is the present moment. So ask what you can do now that will get you closer to your goal. It could mean trade-offs such as sacrificing an hour of couch time for your new goals. That's how you get resolutions implemented.
7. Write down the goal and visualize it regularly.
Writing and visualizing are effective tools for fulfilling a goal because they fix it firmly in the subconscious. And if you write down your goals, put them in a prominent place where you'll view them frequently, such as on the fridge or on your desk. Glickman keeps her important life goals and priorities on her computer's screen saver.
8. To tell or not to tell? Having someone hold you accountable can be a powerful tool. In general, making a public commitment adds motivation.
9. Forgive yourself. If you fall off the wagon, jump back on. Many people fall into the trap of believing that if they stumble, they should give up. The truth is you don't have to wait for next year or for some magic moment. Instead, realize that "slipping is part of the process.

As much as 30% of water can be lost to evaporation by watering the lawn during midday.Homes with in-ground sprinkler systems use 35% more water outdoors than those who do not have an in-ground system. One reason may be that system controllers are not adjusted according to seasonal irrigation needs.
General Watering
Water before 8 A.M. or after 6 P.M. and avoid watering on windy days.
Water in several short sessions rather than one long one. For example, three ten minute sessions spaced 30 minutes to an hour apart will allow your lawn to better absorb moisture than one straight 30 minute session.
Only water when your lawn is thirsty. Over watering promotes shallow root growth making your lawn less hardy. (To determine if your lawn needs to be watered, simply walk across the grass. If you leave footprints, it's time to water.)
Install moisture sensors in each irrigation zone (sunny, shady, etc.) to better determine irrigation needs.
Sprinklers/Sprinkler Systems
Check sprinkler system valves periodically for leaks and keep the heads in good repair.
Adjust the timer on automatic sprinklers according to seasonal water demands and weather conditions.
Install a rain shut-off device on automatic sprinklers to eliminate unneeded applications.
Make sure your sprinkler is placed so it only waters the lawn, not the pavement.
Avoid sprinklers that spray a fine mist, which increases evaporation.
Drip Irrigation
Install a drip irrigation system for watering gardens, trees and shrubs. Drip irrigation provides a slow, steady trickle of water to plants at their roots through a network of hidden pipes and hoses. The systems are regulated by a controller that can be adjusted for different levels of watering according to the needs of the plants. Drip irrigation systems reduce over watering, inefficient watering, weed growth, and the time and labor involved in hand watering.

Welcome from the Head of School
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast.
The Law School at Queen's is ranked as one of the top Schools in the UK and Ireland. Teaching quality within the School was judged to be 'excellent' and our research was awarded a 5B (excellent) by the UK Higher Education Funding Bodies. There are over 1,000 undergraduate students enrolled in the School, 120 postgraduates, 30 PhD students and almost 50 members of academic staff. You will be taught by scholars from all over the world, many of whom have international reputations in their fields and all are committed teachers and researchers. In addition, the School has active relationships with universities in Ireland, France, Spain, the USA, Canada, South Africa, India, Latin America and Australia through which opportunities for study abroad and staff exchanges are fostered.
Although many of our graduates pursue careers in the legal profession, the majority develop careers spanning a very wide range of other sectors. Our goal is therefore to provide students with a liberal legal education - one that exposes you to the widest possible understanding of the nature and role of law in society and provides the basis for a very wide range of potential careers. We currently offer five undergraduate degrees. Most of our students take the Single Honours LL.B, but significant numbers are also enrolled on the LL.B Law and Accountancy, the LL.B Law with Languages (Spanish or French) and the LL.B Law with Politics. As with all undergraduate degrees at Queen's, our programmes are taught within the modular structure across two semesters per academic year. Students have access to an excellent law library and extensive IT facilities.
The School operates a proactive system of student support. Advisers of Studies are allocated to each degree programme tasked to guide and support you throughout your time with us, together with the School's experienced and helpful administrative staff. In addition, we place considerable emphasis on facilitating good communication between staff and students. To this end, a Staff-Student Consultative Committee, comprised of elected student representatives, the Advisers and the Director of Education, meets twice each semester. This Committee provides students with a forum in which to raise matters of concern to them and also enables the School to keep students informed about matters affecting the School and wider university.
All that remains to be said is that this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life. As one of our students, you are amongst the brightest entrants to Queen's and indeed one of the best qualified to any university programme anywhere. Upon graduation, will join a community of past students comprising Nobel prize winners, the judiciary, politicians, leading scholars, senior members of the legal profession, the civil service, media, banking and the business communities. My colleagues and I look forward to meeting you in the class room and at the various social events enjoyed by staff and students during the academic year. I am confident that your time at Queen's and in the Law School will prove to be the high point in your educational experience, and a launching pad for great things to come!
Head of the School of Law

*Forewarning, this post totally got away from me.
So, going back to the tabloid discussion I had with my husband a couple days ago, in which we spoke about stars and haters. The specific example my husband used during our conversation was Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. I am a little ashamed of my initial response, which was,
"Yeah, but they kinda deserve it. You don't go around flashing your vagina to the paparazzi and expect to be treated kindly."
Well, well, well, I might be a wee bit judgier than I've led you to believe.
I guess when I was thinking of stars that people love to hate, it was more along the lines of, oh, say, Jessica Biel, or Jennifer Aniston, or someone. I'm sure both of these women have had a slipup or two, I mean, who wouldn't when cameras surround you constantly? But I'm not sure theirs are intentional. Going out clubbing all night long with a short dress and no bra or panties, however, is pretty fucking deliberate. Seriously, if you know you are going to be stepping in and out of cars all evening, with cameras flashing all over the place, donning undergarments should be a given. And if you choose to say, "To hell with panties, I'm showing the world my cooch" then you should be prepared for backlash. To be honest, I can't really think of one good reason to go out sans underwear, particularly while wearing a short skirt. Do you want your bits to inadvertently come into contact with a barstool sat upon by hundreds, possibly thousands of people? I sure don't. So, modesty aside, germs are high up there in the pros list for wearing panties.
I used to have a friend that consistently went commando when going out at night. And I know this because she made it a point to tell people. In fact, I saw her boobs more times than I could count, because she would flash her girls at the drop of a hat. She frequented bars and clubs without undies every week, and freely told guys she flirted with about her little 'secret', and also went home with a lot of those dudes. I would describe her as a free spirit. She was tons of fun, and an evening out with her was sure to be wild. The no panties and willingness to sleep with virtual strangers was…just the way she was. I am not saying there's anything wrong with that, if that so happens to be the life you chose for yourself. However, for most of the time I knew her, she really, really wanted a boyfriend. Like a real deal, permanent dude in her life. Monogamy. Kids. The whole nine yards. And she could not understand why things never seemed to work out with the guys she hooked up with, or at least, not for long. It is my opinion the reasons probably started with the fact that she met them without drawers on, thus leaving them with one less thing to take off of her a few hours later.
I would imagine at least a few of you are fuming right about now. Understand that I am not saying she, or anyone for that matter, shouldn't sleep with whomever she chooses. All I'm saying is that informing your flirtation for the evening that you aren't wearing panties, and then throwing down and getting nekkid a short while after is probably not the best way to begin a lasting relationship. I'm not saying it's impossible, but…
Whether it's a fair judgment or not, I think forgoing panties is slutty, not sexy. Maybe if you were going out with your partner, and decided to do so to make things exciting, then okay I can see that. But should it be part of your introduction when you meet people? No. Put on drawers. There's something to be said for keeping a little mystery, a little anticipation. And how can you have either of those things if your shit is hanging out there for public viewing? Save a little something for the unveiling, you know what I'm saying?
And now, finally, we get to the heart of this post. Sexy vs slutty. I'm sure the choice to go commando is seen as sexy to some. My interpretation, obviously, is decidedly different. But of course, my personal view is only an opinion. When I think sexy woman, I think Monica Bellucci, not Lindsay Lohan, which is funny, because a google image search for Bellucci brings up a whole host of provocative and sultry pics. Yet somehow, in my mind, there's a difference (aside from the whole drunken mess thing). And speaking of hot messes, Marilyn Monroe was a bit of a train wreck, had substance abuse problems, and posed nude. However, I would say she managed to walk the sexy side of the line.
And that, my friends, is how I came to spend the afternoon pondering the fine line between slutty and sexy. I sat down to write this post about a dozen times, tapped out a few sentences, and then got interrupted by something. Each time I sat back down, I had a new thought in my head. When I got to Monica Bellucci, that of course made me think of Vincent Cassel. I decided to throw in the towel, because I could probably write an entire post about his odd appeal, and this was a post about ladies, not men. Maybe we'll discuss that next week…
Happy Friday y'all. Go forth and have a sexy weekend. Or a slutty one, whatever works for you.

This next-gen Alone in the Dark is also built around a unique episodic game structure -- the story is split into a number of distinct 30-40 minute episodes, doled out one at a time as you play. Each time the player launches a saved game, the episode will begin with a video summary of the previous episode to quickly re-immerse the player in the story and removing the need to remember where they were or what they were doing. Every episode will close with a nail-biting cliff-hanger ending to rattle players' nerves, and if the player is leaving the game a video teaser of the next episode will play to leave them wanting more.
There may not be a haunted mansion, and Cthulu is no where to be found, but Edward Carnby is back, and that's all that really matters. Atari's latest revival isn't too worried about aping the Resident Evil formula like their last try. This time Eden Games has thrown in the kitchen sink to create a completely original take on survival horror.
There's a lot of nastiness lurking around in the shadows, and not a lot of help going your way. There's even a lot of those old fashioned adventure game puzzle we missed so much. When you're back's to the wall and your flashlight is flickering, you know where to turn: IGN Guides.
In this Alone in the Dark strategy guide you'll find:
