Well if i plugged it into the other graphics cards wouldnt it display the same thing as the other graphics card was displaying? BTW they are not in SLI. Also which client is the fatest client... The Console client or the system tray client?
ATTENTION ALL DUAL(or more) GPU USERS!! I have just found a way that you can run a client on different gpus without the need of a VGA dummie or multiple displays in windows Vista. 1.Open up the folder in which you FAH folders are. 2.Run your first gpu client. 3.To run your second gpu client(or more)first single click the executable so it is highlighted. 4.Now unplug your VGA cable from your main card and plug it into the second card and wait for a display to show up(you wont see your icons) 5.Now hit the enter key on your keyboard once and wait 10 seconds. 6.Plug the VGA cable back into its origional video card. You should now have your second FAH gpu client running. You can repeat this process to enable more gpu clients(assuming you have more than 2 gpus)without multiple monitors or a vga dummie. All these steps assume your FAH clients are setup for multiple gpu use. HAPPY FOLDING!
so im helping the good cause of medical science to help prevent and cure disease by just letting the program run in the backround of my PC and use up 50% of my cpu?
Great news TPU team!! We got a new 50711 member! His username is "ceraphx" and he has a HD 3870X2 24/7 folding! Will also invite him to the forum. THANKS TO OUR NEW "FOLDING MACHINE" - ceraphx mmaakk
AND not only will you be helping medical science and future mankind, but more importantly, you will be helping your fellow TPU Members achieve their goal of World Domination. Muhahahaha
Edit : F@H certificate was already updated. http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=50711
How come I've done 10 WUs and barely rank above someone who's done 3? Is it because I've done a couple of small WUs, or for some other reason?
On the images it says 0 points and 0 workunits, while it should be 193 and 6 but I guess it will be updated soon. Edit: certificates are updated...
Shutting down the Farm. I am shutting down my folding farm on Wed morning. I will be out of town until Sunday(Whitewater Rafting in WV) and will start it back up then. I expect you guys to make up the difference in my absence. I hate doin this, as the team is going to lose 140K PPD over 4 days, but it is necessary. Keep foldin' boy's!
Just wait until I get my new rig, I'll be folding with an 8 series card and a dual core 24/7 soon enough...
white water wafting eh? great fun. I take my son on a ww canoe trip each summer. What a riot. I finally got my new linux machine folding last night. FaHmon says 1200ppd but the very first wu is 1700 points so 1.5 days to complete so 1200ppd covers about 1/4 of one of your video cards
LOL, You got another 28 rigs to make up the other 33.6K? What CPU are you folding with on the Linux rig? Every year my company takes our best customers to WV for some Class V whitewater on the Gualey River. Nothing like 7 guys in a RV for 5 days covering 1800 miles of highway. Oh, the stories I could tell...
Ive started up a couple of my laptops I have laying around folding for the team. They arnt powerhouse systems, but hey everything helps
Ok i got some problems with my folding at home! Currently i am running 2 gpus and a console client on each gpu. The first gpu runs fine 24/7 but as for the second i can only run it once before i get the error CORE_SHUTDOWN:UNSTABLE_MACHINE. Can anyone tell me what this means and how i can fix it... BTW i am using windows vista. Thanks Also the class 6 West virgina white water rafting is awesome... I went with my boy scout troop!
I'm back in action...I'm done with the SMP clients for now...we'll see what my e8600 @ 4.5GHz can do eventually...but for now it's EVGA GTX260 Core216 (stock atm) and my G/F's vGPU modded 850/2175 1100 w/AC S1 rv1 (had to modify to fit on Palit Sonic due to DVI plug layout) can perform. FAHMon detected no difference in PPD...still 4.2k-ish for 9600GT, and 7.2k-ish for GTX260. Hell I had an e6400 I got from Xazax (good chip, nice OC-er) running at 3.2GHz that FAHMon said was getting the same 1.7kppd that my e8600 at 4.0 was getting...so I might uninstall and re-install the program. Too bad there's no PPD reset feature. Either way I'm back in action and better than ever!
Wow, we're slowly climbing up in the global team score: a week or so a go we were 183rd, now we're 179th!
I'm back in town and the farm is up and running. Now let's get folding! Kursah, it's good to hear you have a GTX 260 folding for u again.

ignore this post because i didn't have a problem after all. i was just being stupid. ****although, if anyone is interested in getting the harmony to manipulate music playlists easily then read the non-bold bit at the bottom of this post
I'm trying to setup my Harmony One remote control to be able to easily manipulate music playlists on xbmc. Pressing "q" on the actual keyboard whilst on a song will send that song to the current playlist. This is what I'm trying to do from my remote. so i put a button on the remotes screen that sends the letter "q". My problem is that when i press that new button on my remote it is sending every track in the album to the playlist. Really don't know where to start with this one. Anyone able to help me figure out what's going on? (oh, in case anyone is interested in using playlists with ease from your remote i've added line into the "global" section of keyboard.xml [playlist] that means i now have a button that shows me the current playlist no matter where i am in xbmc when i press it; all i have to do is add a button on the remotes screen that sends "a". also, the ch+ and ch- buttons will move songs up and down the playlist which is handy)

im having some problems on bootcamp with a mac mini.
I had no problems on osx side of things, working beautifully but here nothing works. No matter what button i press the only thing that happens is the volume going up/down on the os side of things. tried adding mce kebyoard and media center, dont work, is the reciever in the mac mini good? i mean since it works on osx, i ahve to assume so. Just seems so weird. Picture: Samsung LE46A656 Reciever: Onkyo TX-SR607B Front Spkeakers: Yamaha NS-555 Computer: Asrock Ion 330, 4gb ram, OCed 2.0Ghz.

Ever since i built my htpc with xbmc and had my harmony one remote i've always put the htpc to sleep when not in use. What i really wanted was for it to power down but i could never figure out how to do this. I'm using a ehome ir transceiver but have not got a remote with it, anyway i managed to get the htpc to power down by pinning a shortcut to my taskbar with (shutdown.exe -s -t 00) code. and mapped the power to my device Microsoft Windows Media Center SE as the following.
(1) Adjust power settings (2) I want to turn off this device when it's not in use (3) A button on the remote for On, and a different button for Off (4) Which command will Power On your device? - I don't have the original remote, but I know the command that is used: POWER TOGGLE. (5) Which command will Power Off your device? - I don't have the original remote, but I know the command that is used: WIN+2 (2nd icon on my taskbar) LIke i say the htpc shuts down via the shutdown shorcut but won't power up when i click my htpc activity even if i click the help button and go through the settings. Anyone know what i may need to do or if its possible. I've got my reciever set up as Microsoft MCE Keyboard Microsoft Windows Media Center SE

You can't completely power down and power up again with the remote. The remote receiver only responds when the HTPC is in sleep mode. The sleep mode is controlled in your HTPC through power management. The Harmony remote can only send a power ON/OFF. And it's up to the HTPC to behave according to your power management settings. So yes, the remote can power down, if you set the HTPC to normal Power ON/OFF. But to power up, you will have to manually push the button. That's why usually we put it to sleep so it can be woken up by the Harmony.

Thanks for that bodhi, one of the reasons why i wanted it to shut down was for some reason my htpc keeps waking up out of sleep for reasons i don't know. I've unticked the lan wake thingy. Anymore ideas.

I've unticked the lan wake thingy. Anymore ideas. First, check your HTPC power management again to make sure that it can only be woken up by the power button. If you have checked all possible causes with the HTPC, e.g Wake-On-Lan, and the HTPC still wakes up randomly, then it might be some interference to your IR receiver. Try to remember which was the last device you used with the Harmony before the HTPC wakes up, it might be the IR signal for that device. Also, some HDTV LDC/Plasma screen are known to cause stray signals that could cause your IR receiver to accept the signals and interprets as the power ON/OFF. |

I'll check, think it may be my Logitech DiNovo Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard. I think number 3 is sticking for some reason.
Now and again i get this in bar on my screen in xbmc that won't go unless i restart my system. And when i shut xbmc and go back to desktop and i get a constant ting sound like i'm holding a button down constantly and when i click start i get a constant supply of 33333333333333 or ££££££££££££££. Would that be the problem you think. Also i've been trying to do a keymap that will allow me to click a shortcut button in my harmony's additional buttons screen. On my main menu i have disabled the my videos and my movies buttons and done my own via playlists, one called Cartoons and the other movies. I did this because i wanted to separate my movies from the kids, right I've done the following. <keymap> <global> <keyboard> <k>UpdateLibrary(video)</k> ( i like to manually update) <f1>ActivateWindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles)</f1> (This takes me straight into my tv show titles list) <f2>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,Artists)</f2> (and i always cycle through to artists so this suits me to go staight to artists) </keyboard> </global> </keymap> But how do i set a button to take me to custom buttons.

EIther the number 3 key on the Harmony or the DiNovo is stuck or some interference that causes it. I would connect the Harmony to the SW and reload the settings. Sometime it helps just to reload it from the database. You can force it by playing with a setting of some key, but not changing any thing. I would also turn off the DiNovo for a while to see if it was the cultprit. Regarding the customed keys. You can program the Harmony to put the k, f1, f2 keys on the LCD page for the Harmony XBMC activity. Go to the Actvity page and Customize Buttons. It should obvious, it is the same procedure as setting the hard buttons. The idea is for each XBMC keyboard command that you define in the keymap, you would have one defined on an LCD page in XBMC activity. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why the colors of hair extensions don't seems exactly as the pictures show or descrition says?
A: Different monitor have different display. And every time, maybe the same color No.will have a little color differentia.
Q: Can they be straightened, curled?
A: Treat the hair as if it is your own.
Use a flat iron/straightener or tongs,even when fitted, but as with your own hair
never use hot tools too often as you could dry the hair and it will not last as long.
Q: Can I dye color the hair?
A: Yes. The hair can be colored. As a general rule it is easier to darken the hair than to lighter the hair.
We recommend to dye darker, not lighter since the hair extension has been processed and colored
It is difficulty to fade the orignial color. Improper dying will ruin the hair.
We highly recommend having your hairdresser dye the extensions as you will get the results you want, coloring them yourself always poses a high risk of not coming out the shade you want.
If you can't get to a salon, alwanys use a good quality hair dye and test a small sample first.
Q: Can I wash & blow-dry the hair etensions?
A: you can wash them as you would your own. Shampoo and conditioner.
We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every few weeks, because the hair is not attached to your scalp,it is not getting the oils it should be.
Using a treatment/hair mask will need to wash your extensions too much, about every 3 weeks.
The extensionscan be blowdryed on low setting, but it is not recommended to do it too often.
It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them.
Q:Why are my hair extensions getting tangled?
A: Your Hair Extensions can tangle due to dryness, oil & dirt build-up, salt water, chlorine
and not combing (wide tooth comb) out your hair daily.
Make sure to wash & condition your hair at least once a week, twice a week is better.
Use hydrating drops or consult your stylist for more help.
Q: How long does it last?
A : This hair can last for a very long time depending on how you maintain it.
Treat it like your own hair and take very good care of it for it to last longer.
Q: What type of hair care products should I use?
A : Treat this hair just as if it was your own hair. Use good quality shampoo and conditioning products.
Conditioning your hair is very important to keep it soft and manageable, so use leave in conditioners.
You can also use products like gel and hair spray to keep the curls in place, but make sure to wash your hair and not leave in these products in for a long time.

As Congress mulls further steps to cut food stamps, it is odd that Christian conservatives seem to be at the front of the charge.
We are in the midst of the season of light. Regardless of our faith, we are dazzled by the display. What is the take away from the glow? When January arrives and the the lights dim and disappear, what will we remember?
If I can provide any insight as a Muslim observer of Christianity, it is that many American Christians do not really appreciate what wondrous beauty they have in the character of Jesus, their teacher.
Jesus teaches us to do good, especially to those who spew hate. We are also taught that whatever we give to others should be given freely, out of love. Although never a popular idea in any era, we are to be walking epistles of mercy, exercising restraint because of unmerited favor we have already received.
Morrow's book reminds us of the possibility that Muslims, Christians, and Jews can live side-by-side in peace and harmony if only they heed the advice of Prophet Muhammad.
As a clergyperson, I'm obviously concerned about people being able to have the freedom to practice their faith. Yet as a woman, I also care about the health and dignity of people who need contraception.
Look, if you're branding the leader of one the most conservative organizations on earth as too liberal and claiming Jesus was a capitalist, then you've jumped the shark.
The pope is not a politician, a media loudmouth or an activist. He is a religious figure.
It is unusual, if not miraculous, within such degrading and abusive conditions as well as the isolation and long years of forced labor, that Mandela did not become focused on his humiliation and suffering but on the dream of bringing freedom to his people.
The word "Advent" has its origin in the Medieval Latin word adventus, meaning "arrival." The season offers the opportunity for Christians to share in the ancient longing for the coming of the Messiah.
Eighty-two-year-old Sr. Megan Rice of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Greg Boertje-Obed and Michael Walli face thirty years in prison for entering the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Let's pray with them during these advent days that Isaiah's oracle would be fulfilled and we will soon "beat swords into plowshares" and "study war no more."
How do we live with our reluctance to engage in family and faith rituals that once gave life, and the season, meaning?
Jay Parini offers us in less than 200 pages a warm, bold, strong, well-written historical biography of Jesus Christ. No kidding. It is probably the most reliable biography on Christ written for a century or two.
David is one of the most prominent figures of the Bible, a person whose life and lineage shaped both Judaism and Christianity in crucial ways. So when I discovered a new book called The Historical David: The Real Life of an Invented Hero, I was fascinated.

Shall I be a red knight or a wizard today?
I was video-chatting with A (formerly known as 'My Man in the U.K.) yesterday and he said, "What is that you're wearing?" I adjusted the web cam so that he could see the new-to-me psychedelic Custo Barcelona t-shirt (worn with a pair of bright orange pants) that I had bought recently at the thrift store. He said that every time he talks to me (which is most days), I am wearing something he has never seen before and that I am like Mr. Benn.
Who is Mr. Benn?
He was a gentleman who starred in an British children's animated television program in the early 1970s. Each episode he leaves his house at 52 Festive Road (I want to live on Festive Road!) and pays a visit to the magic fancy-dress costume shop. There he is assisted by a bespectacled, fez-wearing shopkeeper. Mr. Benn chooses a costume to take to the fitting room to try on. Once on, he passes through a door and into an adventure in a different time and place. Once he was a spaceman visiting different planets, another time he was a knight helping a dragon, and so on. Each time the shopkeeper appears at the end of his adventure and leads him back to the shop. And each time Mr. Benn comes home with a small souvenir in his pocket.
So, A thinks that the local thrift store is like the magic shop where I find a different costume every day. Now, there are some odd characters working and shopping there, but I haven't seen any in a fez (yet). And my adventures are pretty limited to going to the post office or Whole Foods. Although today was somewhat more exciting in that I went to the post office and Trader Joe's. But, maybe one day I will find an outfit that does lead to a wonderful adventure.
Here's the first episode:
I like this one too:

Endings & Beginnings January 4, 2013
Those who know me well know that my 2012 crawled to a close with a whimper and a moan. An old back injury flared up with a bone spur off my spine that keeps me in a constant state of excruciating pain and chronic distress. I have NEVER experienced pain like this — and I hope it is making me much more sympathetic and empathetic with those who live this way all the time. I would wish this on no one, ever, for any reason. The other major event was the death of my father on December 23. Due to my back, I was unable to attend his memorial service and be with my family. (Poor me…)
The significance of these last couple months is a threefold challenge to my personal worldview: control, patience, and perspective.
I don't consider myself a control freak, and others have commented on my ability to adapt and make quick changes when things don't go as planned. However, almost eight weeks into a reality of sharp, disabling pain, I realize how much I hate not having control over my own body and how much I resist things simply beyond my control. I live in the subtle, yet false sense of being in control. It borders on the delusional how completely we feel like we are the masters of our own destinies and daily lives. We make decisions, we program our computers, fill our calendars, connect through our pads and pods and phones – and for those of us fortunate enough to be lower-middle-class on up — do pretty much whatever we want to. When showering and dressing become the major achievements of the day, one ponders just how "in control" one truly is… I have had to cancel trips, meetings, family events, all because I cannot physically ride in a plane or car for more than an hour without ending up in agony. I cannot begin to express how much I hate feeling so fragile and vulnerable. Being a good American male, I was taught to suck it up and push through — and most of my life I've done this fairly well – but this has me beat. If I try to push through and ignore the pain, I only make it worse.
The interesting thing about my resistance to giving up control is that I espouse a faith that demands total surrender and turning control over to God. True discipleship requires that Jesus "take the wheel" and we follow (rather than give the orders). Humility, forgiveness for enemies, unconditional love, giving, sacrifice, obedience, restorative justice – these are not easy functions for someone who likes to be in control. I profess to having "given my life to God," yet I learn that I am not very good at giving up control. Hmmmm.
I know myself well enough to know that I lack patience. Scale of 1 to 100, I am about a seven on the patience scale. For the last two months I have been crawling out of my own skin with impatience and anxiety. I want this over NOW. I am done with the pain, done with the lying around, done with the pain killers, done with the falling behind at my job. I hate not getting back to "normal," and it has crossed my mind many times "what if this never went away?" I cannot conceive living this way for a long period of time. I don't know how people do it. I do not know what it takes to cope with this level of pain on a regular basis. I fractured my back when I was 20 and I've lived with a low level chronic pain for the past 35 years, but nothing like this.
Paul mentions his "thorn in the flesh," an affliction that he gave thanks to God for because it helped him stay humble and focused. I'm not to that point. I am not thankful for this pain, and I do not yet see the value in an affliction that consumes so much time, energy, and attention. It is inescapable, and thus far I have not found the strength and determination to rise above. (Though I do have an assurance that this spur will deteriorate and stop causing such severe pain within the next few weeks!) If I have any patience at all, it revolves around the promise that I won't endure this pain much longer.
And my perspective has been broadened by all of this. I am so much more sensitive to those who suffer, who are despairing, who are fighting to maintain hope, and who anticipate a future of decline and limitation. I am so fortunate in so many ways. I have so much. I am very comfortable. I have a life filled with good things. I have wonderful relationships that are beyond price. I am privileged in so many ways. I have so much more than the vast majority of people on this planet. I have nothing to gripe about. Yet, here I am feeling sorry for myself. God, forgive me.
My greatest hope is that when this bone spur finally detaches, the pain will leave but the lessons will stay. I realize that it is too easy to "learn" while the affliction is present then forget as soon as it's gone. I want there to be some lasting value in this period of pain and frustration — if I don't learn anything from it, what's the point? This rough patch has been a huge reality check for me, and I hope to emerge from it smarter and stronger. We'll see. 2013 is a chance for new beginnings. May God grant us wisdom to learn and grow and be better than we've been before.

I was so sorry to learn of your father's death while reading this article (yes, I read them still). My guess is that you have many wonderful memories that will keep him alive in your heart. He raised a fine son. Pain of some sort seems to be a way of life as we get older but excruciating pain tops that. I'm hoping that you are feeling much better by now.

Has Obama ever stated what our goals are? I cannot remember any such statement.
Karzai will be one of the Talibans biggest targets once the US leaves for cooperating with the great astan. He needs to start looking for an exile country. Cuba´s nice this time of year.
Has the piece of &**&( in the White House EVER been proud of our military or our country?How I detest this kenyan idiot boy that is destroying America.........
The phrasing sounds eerily familiar:"the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan´s advantage..."- Emperor Hirohito, 14 August 1945The short story is that we won the war under Bush and then surrendered under Obama.
With authority goes responsibility. Who was driving ?
When Obama says that US accomplishments are "short of ideal" in Afghanistan he is really talking about his leadership.Since Obama has failed to come up with a strategy tough enough to win the military conflict in Afghanistan, the best thing is for him and the USA to bug out of there as soon as possible, and quit sacrificing the lives of American service members for nothing.
Well, Stinky, let me expand on that. YOUR accomplisihments since you occupied our White House are "short of ideal."
This CINC is the biggest POS of my lifetime, and that includes LBJ and Jimmah.
Obama always says he won´t make any decisions until he consults with his commanders in the field. Then he goes against their advice thinking he knows best. Which explains why we are where we are today.
The last thing I remember being covered on Afghanistan was implementing "The Surge" replicating the successful strategy used in Iraq. Did it work?
The whole county should have been turned to glass in 2002. Yeah, sort of short of ideal.
Ideal for me would have been to go in there like Genghis Kahn leaving a clear message that they did not want us to ever come back and then tell them that if any of them ever show up in our country or attack any of us ever again we will be back.That would have been ideal for me short of that it should have been retaliation and withdrawal. Pouring lives and treasure into that cesspool was another failure by our leaders. And once again our military was magnificent under horrible condition - lousy leaders. Too bad we cannot elect the leaders they deserve. Now that would be ideal.

Cool review, but I am lost when in the conclusion you say it is good for heavy graphics stations (ok) or for "BitCoin miner". Is that techkie slang? Or do you mean it is good for financial analysis? Weird but for sure you don't need this board for online payments... Sorry
Great review Dave but noticed in the conclusion that for a negative point you said "Quad-SLI bridge has not been provided". This is because the board doesn't support Quad SLI with its PCI-E slot arrangement (you can see from the pinout when looking at the backside). The PLX chip might but the board doesn't. I checked and confirmed it on the Asrock website. Otherwise, keep up the excellent reviews!
Thanks masters, it feels good to not know something sometimes Btw, the wikipedia page does not link to bitcoin sites...
Because bitcoin is a "distributed currency", there is no real "bitcoin site", merely sites of "holding houses", which act similar to banks, but not really. The original author does have a blog, though. AMD VGAs can generate a decent amount of income vs. cost right now, due to value of bitcoin. I cashed out a bunch @ $163 each, before the recent drop, and made a bit of profit after paying the power bill, etc. As a way to generate income with spare cycles, BitCoin does offer something right now, but how profitable it really is changes from day to day, with the value of the coins. Naturally, the more VGAs you have working on making coins, the more profitable it is. Even though one of the slots is a x4 slot, this is still sufficient for bitcoin mining. AMD VGAs don't even need high VGA ram speeds to produce good results.
For the price of this motherboard alone, wouldn't it be more cost effective to buy one of Butterfly Labs $275 Bitcoin miner?
Nope. That isn't even released yet, and lead time is several months(meaning you'll be waiting months after the actual release to get one ordered today). The ASRock Z77 Extreme11 is available right now. But yeah, the miner ASIC designs are pretty powerful for their cost. However, no one can tell you the value of Bitcoin when the miners launch, or when you get them, but 7970's can be had right now, and can be used for other purposes. Nothing can ever beat a design built for a specific purpose.
Dat amount of SATA ports. This is why I liked the X79 Extreme11 so much, hope they won't wait that much to release an Haswell-E based Extreme11 when time will be. I could easily jump from ASUS to Asrock if this would be happening
I don't know why this review doesn't cover this issue, but: Those extra 8 SATA Ports aren't all they could be for random reads.
I don't have enough SSDs to test the ports fully populated in RAID. Testing with a single drive netted me 522.6 MB/s vs the 511.1 MB of the Intel ports and didn't show any issues. Having mixed drives didn't show any issues either. But honestly, I don't really look at 4K, since most data is a mix of data sizes, not just 4K.
The average user is going to be most concerned about mixed performance from small numbers of SSDs, I imagine. Evidently the LSI controller will hold that up to some extent, as mixed performance is more than just sequential reads and writes. Though I'd be interested to know whether it chops a chunk of performance off any drive, or just has a performance ceiling which will bottleneck faster drives.
I think it's a performance ceiling dictated by the way the controller is connected to the system. It might also be that the controller is really intended for SAS drives, and isn't as fast with normal SATA... Interesting topic, for sure. However, with only a couple of boards supporting so many drives, the cost of buying SSDs to test with isn't something I'm prepared to accept. If anyone wants to send me drives for free, I'm more than game for any sort of testing.
Could be less verbose, although i did enjoy the selection. I much preferred the uneditted version of the review... In the future can you include images of your power consumption testing and possibly a lil more breakdown of the process?
What do you mean by verbose? Power consumption testing is done using Prime95 Blend mode. I use Kill-a-watt device on the PSU plug, and Zalman inline meters on both CPU 8-pin and VGA PCIe plugs. The Zalman meters were calibrated by myself using a clamp meter over the cables. I have a specific timed point where measurements are taken. Nobody else does testing similar right now, so I'm not sure exactly what sort of a breakdown you're looking for? It's actually pretty basic...I report both over the 8-pin EPS and what the Kill-a-watt clone gives me as readings.

Matching subjects and verbs
Matching up singular or plural subjects with singular or plural forms of a verb is part of the process called agreement. This is easy in simple sentences:
He admits that he is worried. [singular subject and verb]
They admit that they are worried. [plural subject and verb]
More complex sentences can be trickier because they are grammatically ambiguous, for example:
More than one in ten health club members ?admit/?admits to joining a gym for social reasons.
At first glance, the subject of this sentence may appear to be singular. But it's actually plural, i.e. members rather than one member. You need to use the plural form of the verb, i.e. admit:
More than one in ten health club members admit to joining a gym for social reasons.
You can read more about matching subjects with verbs on the Oxford Dictionaries blog. Here you will find tips on identifying the subject in a sentence as well as questions to test your understanding of matching subjects and verbs.

From: Ovidio DeJesús
How many times have you faced the task of having to put together a website (for work or personal use), but have been intimidated because you don't know the first thing about website programming (HTML/CSS)? Well, Let me share with you a secret that will help you to create great looking websites fast, easy and economically.
The secret is a WordPress Website !!!
WordPress? Isn't WordPress a program for creating Blogs? Yes it is, but did you know that it can be used to create great looking websites? I have developed a simple three step process than will teach you how to build a WordPress website in a day, with minimal computer skills. If you don't believe me, check out these WordPress websites created using my three step process (click on the picture to visit the website):
I have been using HTML/CSS for years now, and have had to endure the problems that come with having to learn a new programming language, and keeping up with constant changes and updates. In addition, the high cost of the tools/editors, having to worry about so many design details (such as aligning tables, pictures, menus, etc.), updating every single page every time a change is made, and so on. It can be lot of work!
On the other hand, by using WordPress with my three step process you will save:
- Time: You don't have to wait weeks to get a website designed and installed by an expensive web designer. You will learn how to get your website up and running in a single day.
- Work: You don't need to spend a lot of time working on learning a complicated new software language. There's no specialized knowledge necessary to setup and maintain WordPress.
- Money: You will save hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars by not having to purchase expensive software and/or hiring an expensive web designer. WordPress is Free!
So what are these three simple steps to creating a WordPress website? Well, the three simple steps are:
Step One: Installation – In this step you will learn:
- How to install WordPress on your service provider
- How to easily operate through cPanel to administer and create a WordPress website
Step Two: Configuration – In this step you will learn:
- How to remove components that make WordPress look and feel like a blog!
- Where to find free WordPress website Themes
- The power of plugins
- How to find, install and configure plugins, widgets and themes to change the function and feel of your WordPress website
- The beauty of one-click widgets
- How to customize your settings for maximum Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Customize your second or third columns with information you want – not what WordPress supplies
- And much more…
Step Three: Adding Content – In this step you will learn:
- Add new pages easily – just copy paste your text and import graphics with one click!
- Update your WordPress website in less than an afternoon – without worrying about making coding mistakes!
- Discover just how easy it is to perform the most complex functions with WordPress as a Content Management System
- And much more…
In addition to all this great information, I have included a pair of appendices at the end of the eBook where I list all the plugins that I use on my WordPress websites. Plugins are small pieces of software that "plug-in" to WordPress and add functionality to it. For example, you need to create a form to get customer information, such as a Contact Us page. There is a plugin that will do that for you. It's kind of like for cell phones: "there's an app for that", for WordPress you say: "there's a plugin for that". The best part is that most of them are FREE!
Let me share with you what I consider the "10 Must Have" plugins for any WordPress website:
- Platinum SEO Pack – Make SEO easy for your WordPress website
- Google Sitemap Generator – Automatically generate a sitemap.xml file for Google
- Dagon Design Sitemap Generator – Automatically generate a sitemap for humans
- iRobots.txt – Automatically generate a robots.txt file
- Secure WordPress – Secure your WordPress website installation
- Ultimate Google Analytics – Add Google Analytics to your WordPress website in one easy step
- WP-DB-Backup – Manage and backup your WordPress website automatically
- Contact Form 7 – Generate forms (such as Contact Us) easily and efficiently
- MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer – Let the Internet know that you exist automatically
- Exclude Pages – Keep certain pages of your WordPress website private from the world
"Will this be Another Hard To Follow Technical Manual on How to Make a WordPress Website?"
Not at all. I have put together an illustrated manual with easy, step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow. Every step is illustrated with screenshots, as I set up a blog and change it to a website while you look over my shoulders. In addition, I will be posting updates and new content in the WordPress website Tips & Tricks section of this website to keep you up-to-date on any new tricks as I find them.
I promise you won't waste your time impatiently plowing through 15 pages of "introduction", being convinced about how easy it is to make WordPress websites. I get right down to business. Print the eBook and follow along as you set up your WordPress website – page by page! The best part about this eBook is that you'll own it. You can use it, again and again, every time you make a website. Checkout a preview of the book:
With this eBook you'll totally avoid:
- Making heartbreaking coding mistakes – and wasting days trying to clean up the mess!
- Wasting hours on forums, looking up answers you don't understand
- Losing days of time, your attention diverted away from your marketing as you struggle with code
- Having to continually upgrade your skills – just to realize you still can't make that maddening piece of coding line up and work!
Since I started using WordPress, and its user-friendly Content Management System, it has saved me days of hair-pulling frustration and missed deadlines!
And it's precisely because I've been through the tearing-out-hair, "I HATE HTML" stage that I created Building Killer Websites with WordPress. I needed an easy and fast way to create WordPress websites.

Style DO.
July 19, 2013
I just got my jeans in today. They are really cute jeans! And fit just like it shows. Sadly, I wanted mines a bit more snug. I am 5'2 and can wear a 7/8 depending on brand a Medium would fit perfectly. 9/10 for majority of the clothes because i have wide hips. so if your more bottom heavy I would say a LARGE but if you want them to fit a little snug go with a Medium.
Pros:great quality, cute, dress up or down, comfortableCons:run bigger than i thought |


text: I've seen many little study groups here that just become dead after a few weeks. Here's my thought why don't we have just ONE gigantic study group,where EVERYBODY ,professionals and beginners alike can paticipate in,instead individual little groups that just dun last. Plus if we do this and everybody joined in, it's gonna be AWESOME,like a community within a community and it's all about DRAWWING ,IMPROVING and helping others do it ,too.What do u guys think? Just a idea. (a great big crazy idea. )

Colon cleansing: Is it helpful or harmful?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/colon-cleansing/AN00065
- With Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist
Michael F. Picco, M.D.
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Michael F. Picco, M.D.
Michael F. Picco, M.D.
Dr. Michael Picco has been with Mayo Clinic since 1999. He is board certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology. Dr. Picco is an assistant professor of medicine at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, and a consultant in gastroenterology at Mayo Clinic in Florida.
He has authored numerous publications in the area of gastroenterology, including original research, editorials and textbook chapters. He works with a team of gastroenterologists that takes care of complex gastrointestinal conditions and has a particular interest in diarrheal illnesses and inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). He is also active in medical education in training new gastroenterologist and internists.
"Mayo Clinic's website is an invaluable resource for patients and their families," Dr. Picco said. "Informed patients are better able to participate in their own health care. A patient's participation is vital to the treatment of his or her disease. I hope to assist in helping patients understand their digestive problems and current treatments that are offered. This will allow for better communication between patients, their physicians and other health care professionals."
Dr. Picco serves as a reviewer of new research for several medical journals in the area of gastroenterology and is an active member of the American Gastroenterological Association, American College of Gastroenterology and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. He serves on numerous committees that address physician training, research and clinical practice in gastroenterology, both at Mayo Clinic and at the national level.
"Patients need to know about their disease, what to expect, the latest treatments and side effects so that they can make informed decisions about their health care. Gastrointestinal disease affects not only patients but also their families. My goal is to assure that our website provides accurate, reliable information and resources for patients. We must always provide the latest, most cutting-edge information to assist patients in dealing with their medical problems," Dr. Picco said.

Colon cleansing: Is it helpful or harmful?
Is colon cleansing a good way to eliminate toxins from your body?
from Michael F. Picco, M.D.
Although doctors prescribe colon cleansing as preparation for medical procedures such as colonoscopy, most don't recommend colon cleansing for detoxification. Their reasoning is simple: Your digestive system and bowel naturally eliminate waste material and bacteria — your body doesn't need colon cleansing to do this.
Proponents of colon cleansing, on the other hand, believe that toxins from your gastrointestinal tract can cause a variety of health problems, such as arthritis, allergies and asthma. They believe that colon cleansing — also called a colonic or a colonic irrigation — improves health by removing toxins, promoting healthy intestinal bacteria, boosting your energy and enhancing your immune system. However, there's little evidence that colon cleansing produces these effects.
In fact, colon cleansing can sometimes be harmful. Colon cleansing can cause side effects, such as cramping, bloating, nausea and vomiting. More serious concerns with colon cleansing are that it can:
- Increase your risk of dehydration
- Lead to bowel perforations
- Increase the risk of infection
- Cause changes in your electrolytes, which can be dangerous if you have kidney disease or other health problems
If you choose to try colon cleansing, take these precautions:
- Check with your conventional medical providers first, especially if you take any medications or have any health problems.
- Make sure your colon-cleansing practitioner uses disposable equipment that hasn't been previously used.
- Get a list of specific herbal ingredients and amounts in any colon-cleansing products you use — some herbal supplements can cause health problems.
- Stay well hydrated by drinking lots of fluids while undergoing colon cleansing to prevent dehydration.

Changes to standards, however small, are time-consuming for the Board and burdensome for others. The IASB has adopted the Annual Improvements process to deal efficiently with a collection of narrow scope amendments to IFRSs even though the amendments are unrelated. The IFRS Interpretations Committee reviews the proposed amendments within the annual improvements process and makes recommendations to the IASB before they are issued.
Each year the IASB discusses and decides upon proposed improvements to IFRSs as they have arisen throughout the year. Issues dealt with in this process arise from matters raised by the IFRS Interpretations Committee and suggestions from staff or practitioners, and focus on areas of inconsistency in IFRSs or where clarification of wording is required. Annual Improvements follow the same due process as other amendments to IFRSs except that unrelated amendments can be exposed together, rather than separately. The exposure draft for Annual Improvements is normally published for comment for 90 days; this is shorter than the normal comment period for an exposure draft (120 days), reflecting the nature of Annual Improvements, i.e. they are clarifying or correcting in nature, and do not propose new principles or changes to existing ones.
Rather than separately publishing a series of piecemeal changes, the publication of the proposals in a single exposure draft is intended to streamline the standard-setting process, with benefits both for interested parties and for the IASB.
Read more about Annual Improvements.
On 3 May 2012, the IASB published an Exposure Draft draft for the 2010-2012 Annual Improvements cycle The comment period ended on 5 September 2012. Redeliberations are ongoing, and amendments to IFRSs from this cycle are expected to be issued in Q4 2013.
The issues included in this cycle are:
Due process steps
Issues considered but not included in the 2010-2012 cycle.

So I've read the book but I can't think of which scene this could be! Any help?

@ call it golden..I'm not so sure either..Jacobs's face has no signs of injuries so this must be early part of their relationship/story..I can't really think of a night scene in the book when they are together..I need to revisit the book again..perhaps somebody else can help?...

Probably after they leave the busted speakeasy and have their fling - he sees her to a cab so she can return to the circus separately.

I think Robert just get better looking with each new picture! Oh, that smile just melt me. I think this pic may be the time they all went out togther...before Jacob got dressed to go, maybe? I loved the book and could not imagine anyone but Robert as Jacob. He is just beautiful.
