I have to disagree with this. I got the platinum for it, and I certainly wouldn't say it was that hard. Don't get me wrong, it was no walk in the park, but I did manage to finish all solo-able SpecOps on 3 star bar for 2 of them by myself and I'm certainly no FPS guru or anything.
Some people say a platinum is hard because it is time consuming, to me hard is not based around time required but on how challenging it actually is. A 150+ hour game that just required you to keep going is surely ranked lower than one that 'could' be completed in 20-30 yet requires real skill, good luck and lots of dying lol.

Re: Hard vs Long (I'm talking Platinum trophies here....)
I've read some people say Resistance 2 is difficult, but seriously that would have to be the easiest FPS plat to get by a country mile, if you are a half competant online player who would easily put 50-100 hours into the online, which most people who move from COD4 to R2 to KZ2 to MW2 to MAG would easily do..
It's only difficult for people who only play online in FPS games to get the trophies, or people like me who only casually play online on any game (even their favourite game in recent years - Uncharted 2)... because 10,000 kills is a lot to get for someone who dies 3 or 4 times for every kill they make.
Otherwise, you weigh it up and Difficult is the easiest 'ultimate' difficulty in any FPS I've ever played by a country mile, co-op is just a matter of putting in the hours (just max out medic if you really suck) and then of course getting 10k kills in the vs.
On an another note... I'm playing Tomb Raider Underworld at the moment because I got it really cheap and I haven't played a Lara game since hiring I think the second or third one on PS1... I can see why it has a reputation for being a pretty easy and quick platinum.... especially if you use a "plat pathway" that someone has written up online...
Part of this is down to the trophy design. A couple of the silver/golds are for getting all of a certain trophy type, eg: one trophy for each of Swan dive I, II and III, and another when you get all of them, so if you are using youtube you effectively get two trophies for Swan dive III... Part of this is down to the length of the required replayability... as long as you use a guide and don't miss any, you can get the the Plat in one run.... even if you don't want to use a guide for using all the treasures (which personally I avoid doing during a first playthrough), you can still finish the game and go into treasure hunter mode to search for treasures and relics.... and lastly, Hard doesn't even seem to be that hard... (although I haven't reached any combat yet)

- easiest platinum that I feel like i earned - fallout 3, tomb raider, alone in the dark, all come to mind. fallout 3 takes a while but it sure aint hard.
- easiest platinum that im ashamed to have - terminator .. i kinda enjoyed the game but getting a platinum for that is just shameful .. could be worse i guess i could lower myself to hanna montanna but i dont think i could show my face on the forums ever again, lol
- hardest platinum is a bit more difficult, some of the games im working on might be considered hard from a time perspective but thats about the only difficulty really. Resistance 2 I guess, but its not that difficult and I enjoy it, plus like I said before its just a matter of finding the time to grind through it.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Foundations from Mexico and the United States are coming together to work on water issues.
The Harte Research institute along with Texas State, the FEMSA Foundation, and Water Institute of Monterrey Tech in Mexico have decided to come together to save one of the resources we all share... water.
"On both sides of the border, on the Mexican side and the United States, we have similar water issues," said Monterrey Tech Water Director Jurgen Mahlknecht.
So today for the first time, leaders from institutes in Mexico and the US sat down to discuss water issues. They discussed what work has already been done and how they can combine research to find solutions to issues.
"We're doing a lot of research on similar topics and we could learn a lot from working together," said Eve Fernandez with the FEMSA Foundation.
Both The Harte Institute and Monterrey Tech have done quite a bit of work in the Gulf. One of the issues being looked at are dead zones. Those are areas in the Gulf that have dead marine life due to high bacteria levels. But by working together they hope to find solutions.
"It's absolutely vital that we hold hands and get our heads together and think about how, what we're all doing to make a difference," said Sylvia Earle with the Harte Research Institute.
Everyone involved says they are excited to see what results will come from this new collaboration.
"I expect some really good things to result from this," said Earle.

The recovery remains subpar, but has improved enough to moderate Federal Reserve rhetoric about injecting more monetary stimulus. A third round of large-scale asset purchases, or "quantitative easing," remains possible.
With or without "QE3," there is little prospect of the Fed's rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) bringing forward hikes in the federal funds rate from the late-2014 conditional time frame. That implies no asset sales to shrink the Fed's bloated securities portfolio until 2015 — unless the economy proves much stronger and unemployment lower than expected.
QE3 was very much on the table early in the year. Minutes of the Jan. 24-25 FOMC meeting show "a few members feeling current and prospective economic conditions — including elevated unemployment and inflation at or below the committee's objective — could warrant the initiation of additional securities purchases before long." Others thought such policy action could become necessary if the economy lost momentum or if inflation seemed likely to remain below its 2% mandate.
In his post-FOMC press conference, Bernanke said the FOMC "is prepared to provide further monetary accommodation."
Even while acknowledging housing and mortgage credit problems were rendering low interest rates less effective, he said, "If inflation is going to remain below target for an extended period and unemployment progress is very slow, then ...there is a case for additional policy action...."
The Fed chief even suggested a situation could arise where the Fed would maintain an easy money policy in spite of inflation running above the 2% target. After saying the FOMC treats price stability and maximum employment goals symmetrically, he said, "If inflation did go above target by modest amount, we would certainly try to get it back down to target. But if unemployment were very high, that would lead us to be more cautious and slower in returning to target...."
By the time Bernanke delivered his semi-annual Monetary Policy Report to Congress on Feb. 29, he was toning down such talk. The unemployment rate had fallen to 8.3%; fourth quarter GDP growth had been estimated at 3%; the European debt bomb had been somewhat defused and the Fed was confronting an oil price spike.
Conspicuously absent from his testimony was any reference to QE3. He upheld the need for "a highly accommodative stance for monetary policy," but refrained from talking about new reserve injections.
But nothing Bernanke said rules out that option. Notably, he was skeptical about labor market improvements. "The decline in the unemployment rate over the past year has been somewhat more rapid than might have been expected, given that the economy appears to have been growing during that time frame at or below its longer-term trend," he said, adding, "continued improvement in the job market is likely to require stronger growth in final demand and production."
Bernanke acknowledged that the gasoline price spike could push up inflation temporarily but was more concerned about its impact on consumer spending, the fundamentals of which he called "weak."
The message is that, while the odds may have lessened, QE3 still may be needed if growth disappoints and inflation runs below 2%. Bernanke's fellow FOMC voters were of different minds. San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said "we may need to do more if the recovery falters or if inflation stays well below 2%," and added, "if the economy does need more stimulus, restarting our program of purchasing mortgage-backed securities would probably be the best course of action."
Others agree, though some FOMC members are less enthused. Middle-of-the-road Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said he's cautious about expanding the Fed's balance sheet. Asked what it would take for him to back QE3, Lockhart said, "the onset of recessionary conditions and movement in the direction of deflation would certainly be a set of conditions in which we would have to consider further balance sheet kinds of stimulus." Another criterion would be "more receptive (credit market) conditions combined with a clear need of some kind."
The only clear "no" vote is Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker, who opposed extending the expected period of zero rates by 18 months.
But Bernanke won't pursue QE3 without a careful cost-benefit analysis by his staff concluding that QE3 is not only needed but would help. Mortgage rates are already very low to little effect, so further asset purchases to slash them further might not accomplish much — certainly in contrast to November 2010 when the FOMC launched QE2 amid higher unemployment and a whiff of deflation.
And the FOMC would have to consider potential negatives, such as complicating the Fed's eventual exit strategy and jeopardizing its credibility, inflation expectations and the dollar.
QE3's perceived benefits would rise to the extent growth slows; inflation declines and/or financial conditions deteriorate.

Car Subwoofers
10-inch single voice coil subwoofer
10" woofer
25.40cm woofer
Designed to Perform
Introducing the new MM1040 high performance 10-inch subwoofer. Use it in a sealed or ported enclosure. As a result of 3 years of Polk research and development, the new MM systems have been designed to offer unparalleled sound quality with exceptional fit to meet virtually any application. Borrowing technology from our flagship SR Series, the MM Series offers exceptional value for the price. Through the use of high-tech composite baskets, oversized voice coils, and state-of-the-art composite cones, we offer high-end audio performance normally found only in the most expensive loudspeaker systems.
MM1040 Features:
New polymer woofer cones and butyl rubber surrounds will not break down over time and will survive the rigors of harsh automotive environments.
High temperature copper voice coil (51mm) and polyamide former withstands the most rigorous use while maintaining extremely low distortion for bass punch and output.
Heavy duty input terminals accommodate speaker wire up to 8 AWG or twisted pairs of 12 AWG.
Advanced carbon composite basket based on the spokes of a wheel is lightweight, will not flex during peaks and looks great! Don't be afraid to show off the back of your woofer.
Klippel optimized components using a state-of-the-art Klippel distortion analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension for the best possible performance, even at extreme listening levels.
Marine Certified Polk MM Series speakers are built tough to withstand the toughest environments so they are perfect for use in boats of all types. That's why Correct Craft offers Polk speakers in their award-winning Nautiques ski and wakeboarding boats.
Available matching grille complement the wheel spoke design. Dual voice coil configuration (MM1040DVC) also available.
All Polk products are made using the best materials and the most advanced manufacturing techniques. They pass the industry's most exhaustive quality tests, including drop testing, extreme signal response and UV & salt exposure testing. Polk loudspeakers are built to perform for a lifetime.

Great looks,well built
I have this in a .7cuft sealed box that is braced with some poly fill. Zapco C2k 2.0 amplifier crossed over at 90hz. Im really impressed with this subwoofer. the bass is deep and tight and it blends well with my front speakers (Dynaudio).

Light-weight,look good,small box sizes,etc.
None that I have seen as of yet
Recently received a pair of these through Crutchfield in exchange for a pair of Infinity Perfect 10.1's that had let go on me in a little over a year. With the above being known, I am extremely satisfied with the peformance of these especially in the recommended .66 sealed enclosure,above and beyond my expectations,especially considering how "lite-weight" they are. In closing these have me thinking,if these are that good at this price range, I can only imagine how good the SR. series sounds!

Small enclosure requirements and big sound.
less low end than even older 12" subs. The optional grills are massive.
I have an 03 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, and after 6 years with a single Kicker 12� L7 in a custom box, it was decided for me that we needed the space behind the center console where the sub sat. Luckily I was informed that the rear foot wells were fair game. I have never been keen on downsizing the cone area from 12 to 10, but the available space made that choice for me. I purchased 2 MM1040 subs and put them in .75� boxes. I stapled about an inch of polyfill sheets to all sides. After installing a single sub to see how it sounded, I was a little put off. A single MM1040 can�t compete with the single 12� L7, not even close. I then installed the second MM1040, and was impressed. Funny how twice the speaker adds up to a lot more than twice the sound. I�d say the volume is much louder than the L7, and much clearer, but they do not hit as low, there is a very distinct difference. After the initial test, I added to the existing polyfill. I added an additional 4� loose to the rear of the enclosure and it improved the low end. I�m an old 80�s metal head, thrash mostly, so you get an idea of the type of music I listen too. Overall I�m very happy, much more volume, they seem less sloppy, but I did lose a bit on the low end. I�ll have to break out my old Techmaster P.E.B. CD and have some fun.

shallow mounting, great power handling, deep powerfull accurate bass in very small enclosure, very unique looking basket, clean looking overall.
nothing yet.
finally got my new MM1040 in to replace my very old Orion XTR10svc and the difference is incredible. its running off the rear channels bridged mono of a Polk PA500.4 and i didn't change any settings on the amp from old to new sub. this sub has so much more impact, tighter punch, more... everything! maybe this is because i can turn the volume up much louder without it distorting like the old sub did. one of the best sounding 10" subs i've heard. especially one that is this shallow.

Deep strong bass sound good for any type of music
Cant find any
I bought this sub looking for the best possible sounding subwoofer that is shallow to fit in the back of my F 150 under back seats. The sub by far is the best sound quality i have ever heard with deep strong lows that sound deeper than my old 12" memphis prs. Have it running of a alpine amp gettin about 350 watts rms 4 ohms sounds amazing for any type of music.

"Good hotel to stay at for a few nights"
The hotel was clean and our room was nicer than we expected. The only issue with the room was that the tub drained slow sometimes. There was also no microwave in the room, but there was one in the lobby so that was okay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was not the best, but not bad so okay for a few days. They should make the hotel […] sign that sits by the curb larger. I drove by it a couple of times because I could barely see it from the road. There is a larger sign several feet in the air, but when you're driving you're not necessary looking "up" for signs, you're looking street-level. But overall, it's a good place to stay. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Quiet hotel just South of Buffalo"
This hotel is located in the heart of a former industrial area, very close to the lake. It reminded us of the South Chicago steel mills area. The people seemed salt of the earth types who stayed close to their neighborhood. The best part of the place--aside from it's good value--is that it's close to a very fine Italian restaurant called Mulberry, a […] mere 5 minute drive away. Featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (don't let that turn you off), the place is warm, and the food is terrific. Our salad of arugula, fresh mozzarella cheese and red onions was simple and remarkable, as was the nearly greaseless, tender fried calamari. We split an order of the legendary lasagne--which deserves its reputation. After this, we could have gone into tv mode at the hotel, but opted to drive the 35 minutes north to Niagra Falls and walk it off, and enjoy one of the true natural wonders of this country. The hotel provided necessary and ample respite from all of this, but was close enough and off the beaten path enough to enable a mini-vacation in the middle of our drive from Chicago to New England. Breakfast (included) was perfect--nice selections, but oddly missing fresh bananas (although there was fresh fruit). Bathroom was large, with plenty of towels, and wireless internet service was adequate in the room, and included. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
The front desk night clerk was very helpful in recommending neighbourhood restaurants. The carpet in the room hadn't been vaccumed -- we found long hair stuck to the soles of our shoes and nail clippings on the carpet next to the bedstand. The frame around the bathroom mirror and wall had dried toothpaste and soap splatters from previous guests. Other […] than this lack of cleanliness, we liked the hotel but we drove by twice because the sign is so small and the hotel is set back from the road.

The sole reason for booking the hotel was 4+ user rating. The rendering posted is deceiving. This is the MOST inconvenient hotel I ever styed in. The property is old, the toilets where shaky, and the room was damp and humid. I will have to do more research in the future for better picks. The hotel wasn't cheap either, which makes it even more distu […] rbing. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
Hotel appears to be in a not-so-good area but if you're driving in anyways it's not a big deal. There's a Tim Hortons and gas station beside the hotel. The beds were alright; nothing too special. Found a couple hairs in the bed but not enough for me to say I wouldn't return to this hotel. Luckily, this location offers free Wi-Fi in guest rooms. Unfortunately, […] it's terrible and continuously disconnected on all of my devices. Parking lot is clean as is the exterior of the building. Overall I enjoyed my stay here but if you value a reliable internet connection I would look elsewhere. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Convenient Location"
For us, this location midway between Coast Guard Station and home of new CG member was very convenient. Also, nearby lakefront restaurants were a plus. Room cleanup was late in the day, partially due to our occupation.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
"Nice hotel...close to town."
Hotel Staff was accommodating. Our air conditioner stopped working and they immediately gave us a new room. My daughter got sick and they assisted us in finding a hospital. Breakfast was very good. My only complaint would be the pool is small but very very cold so it wasn't possible for the kids to swim and there is no hot tub or whirlpool.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

The hotel was ok, the person that checked us in was not very pleasant.

"Good experience"
The hotel was clean and the service friendly. Only issue was a wedding party that came in around 2 am in the morning, yelling profanities and rapping on people's doors. Not the hotel's fault but would have liked to see them respond to the disturbance (don't think the hotel has any kind of security though). Was satisfied with the extension on checkout […] to 12:30 so we had time to return from the Buffalo Marathon and shower.

Hey man!
I think some crits are in order here, though these pics are fantastic, I noticed a few things that might be looked at.
In the fiigure studies, there are a few of the heads that are of, especially the one on the first page, the upper left. Also the lower right one on the girl page.
I think, apart from the things you mentioned about the personal piece, the fact is that she is so smooth, and the background so noisy, that it gets more interresting looking around the image, and not her. Also, keeping with a theme is important, so the hand guard should be reflected in some other bone articles on her gear. Also, keep in mind the different amount of reflection different surfaces gives. Some sweet sweet highlights could be good on the metal.

Remember that Walden's Title IV Code is 025042.
If you are an experienced or senior-level project manager, this certificate program can help you take your career to the next level.
Aligned with the Project Management Institute's (PMI)® A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), this program leverages your knowledge to provide you with advanced project management concepts and skills that you can apply to the projects or programs that you lead. Study portfolio and program management, stakeholder management, and how to effectively integrate the many processes within project management.
PMP is a registered certification mark of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
PMBOK is a registered trademark of the Project Management Institute, Inc.
This certificate can be completed in as little as 6 months. Time to completion may vary by student, depending on individual progress and credits transferred, if applicable. For a personalized estimate of your time to completion, call an enrollment advisor at 1-866-492-5336.
*There is no cost for the 1-credit Foundations course in these certificate programs.
Students taking this course are introduced to Walden University and to the requirements for successful participation in an online curriculum. Students work toward building a foundation for academic and professional success as scholar-practitioners and social change agents. Students engage in course assignments focused on the practical application of professional writing, critical-thinking skills, and the promotion of professional and academic excellence as they relate to project management.
An integrated approach to project management increases the likelihood of project success. In this course, students consider the iterative nature of project management processes. They also explore how project management processes and process groups intersect. Students gain hands-on experience developing a comprehensive project plan that comprises the project management knowledge areas with specific emphasis on scope, time, cost, and quality management. They also assess the importance of project communications management as a tool for managing stakeholder expectations, and they suggest strategies for communications as best practices in project management.
One role of the project manager is to lead teams in complex and diverse organizational settings while concurrently communicating with all stakeholders. In this course, students analyze this dual role and examine how individual and group behavior impacts organizational effectiveness. They discover how using influence, rather than organizational power, leads to more successful project management. Students learn ways to design projects to support organizational goals and how to build and engage organizational capital (intellectual, human, physical, financial, and structural). They also assess communications management as a tool to manage internal and external relationships with stakeholders, partners, vendors, and customers.
How do project managers ensure that their organization's initiatives allow for sustainable business and promote positive change through products for a sustainable environment? Students in this course are provided with an opportunity to answer such questions as well as to develop their understanding of managing projects at the portfolio and program levels. Students learn about the nature of sustainability in project management in terms of how project management processes align with the three fundamentals of sustainable development: social equity, economic efficiency, and environmental performance. Students work toward gaining a real-world understanding of concepts through the examination of current research illustrating sustainability in project management and by assessing actual products developed through projects.
The PMP exam tests the full Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), and, as such, is a comprehensive exam. This preparation course provides the guidance needed to organize the implicit project management knowledge the student has acquired through experience and coursework, fill gaps in the body of project management knowledge, and provides additional context to enhance the student's project management knowledge base. Through material review, drills, and detailed explanations, this course will prepare the student to sit confidently for the PMP exam. (Prerequisites: MSPM 6140 or MSPM 6170. Prerequisite may be taken concurrently with this course.)
Tuition and fees are subject to change.

This happens when performing several different tasks, including after deleting a page that has content on it and when packaging a file.
Following these complaints Adobe has been investigating the problem and has narrowed the issue down to an incompatibility … Read more

America must also praised the rapidly growing threat from cyber attacks.
We know hackers steal people's identities.
And infiltrate probably -- We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets.
Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power -- Our financial institutions.
Our air traffic control systems.
We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security -- our com.
All right there you have the president talking about cyber security in his State of the Union Address and I want to bring in.
Representative Bill Johnson Republican out of Ohio to talk about this.
And congressman the first thing I want to ask you -- the president is doing this once again by executive order what do you think about this prolific use of the executive.
You know a one size fits all approach to cyber security is is simply not -- to work might and I appreciate the opportunity that your given me to speak out on that.
A cyber security is is very very complex it has intelligence implications it has commercial and ended -- industrial implications.
And it has very real national security implications.
And the the energy and commerce committee.
As well as the intelligence committee is concerned about cyber security.
And but going about this through executive order.
Rather than through.
The normal process of working with the -- of the American people through the legislative process.
To come out what they -- solid solution make a comprehensive solution.
That's not the right way to go off spent.
Thirty years of my professional careers -- IT executive I've been -- the chief information officer.
Of a global manufacturing company so I I don't understand this issue.
Executive orders not the right way to go.
-- seems that this is brought on largely by the Chinese hacking that just came to light.
Did the Chinese hacking incident show us where we are vulnerable -- -- -- really outlined where the US system is is vulnerable.
-- this is not new.
-- we've known that the Chinese have been have been stealing our trade secrets through this kind of technology trying to break into our networks we've known that for a long time.
Why this is a new revelation.
Is is is a little bit concerning to me because we have known this for a while.
And what we're trying to do now is to craft legislation that's going to give our.
Commercial and industrial.
Areas the the same kind of access to technologies.
That our defense and intelligence communities have.
To identify these threats and to protect against them.
Could you gotta have a proactive approach Mikey can't wait until somebody breaks into your network to decide to slam to the war.
Well and it sounds like what the Chinese are doing is they've got some of the best and brightest in the Chinese military.
Really who who waging the war of the new millennium of the next generation.
Trying to hack into everything from our power grid to it to our defenses and am -- wrong.
No no you're not wrong at all because you know America is unique.
If you look at the last 236.
Years that most of the modern conveniences known to mankind they were birth right here in America.
It's not surprising and it should not be surprising at all.
That countries like China.
We were trying to exert.
Themselves militarily economically politically.
In their region it should not be a surprise that they are trying.
Through what ever means they can.
To steal our trade secrets.
To get inside and and understand our strategies because America is the is the leader.
In innovation around the world.
It would they have the ability.
To see if they partnered with the -- and there were airstrikes in the Iranian nuclear program.
To start shutting down power grids snarl the infrastructure the United States just as a means -- of deterrence means to be destructive.
Well you know that's one area where I think the president made a very good point and I'm certainly glad that the president understands the practicality of this issue -- -- Absolutely that is a possibility if we don't address it.
With a comprehensive approach right now.
You know at the same time that computing networks Mike are.
And and it -- a special.
Education and experience to be able to do to understand and deal with down.
They're very very simple at their -- -- ones and zeros.
And as long as computers which I don't see that changing.
Operates off of a string of ones and zeros.
You're -- have bad guys like the Chinese and the Iranians and other bad actors.
That are going to probe our networks you know what happens.
Millions of times a second.
That we get these probing.
Activities from the bad guys.
And what you what I get from your earlier comments your concern about the use of the executive order.
Is not that it usurped the system of checks and balances but -- eight usurped discovery.
And more information could go into the process.
Iran while I'm concerned I'm concerned about -- you know I I think it's I think it's -- out wrong.
For the president to sidestep congress you heard what he said end the state of the union speech you said -- if congress doesn't act.
Then I will and other words he doesn't need.
The congress that's not the way our system works so I'm concerned about.
The abuse of the executive order and sidestepping congress but I'm also concerned.
About the discovery aspect of it because this simply -- a cookie cutter approach here will simply not work it's a different kind of security requirements for.
A you say a power grid had -- from a medical system or a financial system it's different.
Okay reps and Johnson thank you very much for your time president Johnson from the Russell rotunda in the US capitol -- on that subject.

Angela Bell, an EFT Practitioner said it is a simple process. First, patients are told to focus on a negative emotion tied to a memory or event. Then, a certified practitioner helps remove that emotion by disconnecting its attachment to the brain using acupressure points in the body.
"You tap on these acupressure points that moves that encoding, that emotional encoding that's attached to the memory," Bell said.
According to Bell that often means the memory of the event is still there, but the negative emotions attached to it go away.
Jill Brady, who practices EFT, said the process worked wonders for her after a difficult divorce helping her heal and saving her time, money, and grief.
"I don't have to spend six months with a counselor," she said. "It's something that can be taken care of immediately."
That may be why EFT has made waves in the military. A new study in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease says 90 percent of soldiers with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD were close to cured after a few EFT sessions. In fact, their emotional outlook had improved so much they no longer fit the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis. On the flip side, only four percent of soldiers with the same amount of counseling had the same outlook.
Bell said even though tapping looks silly, it has gained notoriety, especially now that the American Psychological Association has recognized it as a valid practice. According to the APA, "EFT is a scientifically evidenced modality for treating psychological disorders," she said.
Right now most insurance plans do not cover EFT. However, given its recognition by the APA that may change. Sessions vary in cost depending on the practitioner, but most hour long sessions cost less than one hundred dollars.

Century Japan started selling a [relatively] affordable 16 GB DDR3-1600 MHz (PC3-12800) ECC Registered DIMM. The module runs at 1600 MHz with timings of 11-11-11, and has been tested on EVGA SR-X platform to achieve 192 GB (12 x 16 GB), scraping the address-space limits of Windows 7 64-bit client operating systems. The 240-pin RDIMM uses 36 Hynix-made DRAM chips. In Japan, Century's new 16 GB RDIMM is priced at 25,000 JPY (US $314) a pop. For reference, DDR3-1066 MHz 16 GB RDIMMs are priced around $300. Source: Akiba PC Watch
Woah, what? I must have been out of the loop because I thought 8GB modules were still selling for 300$.
This are for boards with server chipsets coz i notice it's written ECC and ECC doesn't work on most performance/mainstream chipset or am i wrong? most mainstream/performance chipset mostly/only use Non-ECC memory is this correct?
That is correct, although AMD boards/CPU's support ECC on desktop boards. The case with Intel is that you need a Xeon to have ECC RAM, AFAIK.
If you really need this level of capacity/speed, I suppose they're a value. Not a lot of other options available. And if some one is buying 1066 at $300, stop, and go grab some Kingston 1333 for under $200/stick. Now that is a value!
well you've highlighted the issue - willingness to pay. it's not worth it to you (or even me at the moment) but it is a good price for such a product.

It's a safe bet that whoever first uttered those words never met Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak. But he (or more likely, she) almost certainly recognized Doak's type.
You may not know much about Doak, the former Tulsa insurance executive and agent who was elected statewide in 2010. The fact is, insurance commissioners rarely make headlines unless they end up in jail -- which happened not so long ago in Oklahoma.
But as a concerned, informed citizen, you may wish to pay closer attention to the elected official charged with protecting you from the insurance industry's worst excesses and lamest excuses not to pay your claim.
Doak, you see, is engaging in some fanciful behavior that even has his fellow Republicans scratching their heads, reaching for antacids, and -- most importantly -- threatening to shorten his leash.
Under the guise of protecting his fraud unit investigators, Doak is transforming the traditionally white-collar insurance department into a paramilitary-style organization, replete with some of the most expensive law enforcement toys imaginable.
His office has spent $180,000 on high-tech law enforcement equipment, including seven police-package vehicles, bulletproof vests, and fancily equipped shotguns.
"Protecting Oklahomans is my top priority," declared Doak. "I will do whatever I can to keep them and my investigators safe. The best part about the Anti-Fraud Unit is that it's funded by fines, penalties, and multi-state settlements, not taxpayer dollars."
Who knew that investigating insurance fraud in Oklahoma these days was as risky as Elliot Ness pursuing Al Capone into a smoke-filled back room?
"I don't think Oklahomans as a whole are going to relish the day when their neighborhood is full of official police-package insurance department cars as they're executing an arrest on a guy who did a fraudulent insurance claim," Okla. Rep. Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, told the AP.
"For the life of me, I never could come to grasp with why the Insurance Department couldn't take a local sheriff's deputy, or someone responsible to the local community, with them when they do these arrests."
Doak defends his SWAT-buildup by noting that two Louisiana fraud investigators were shot and killed when attempting to collect records from a suspended insurance agent who later turned the gun on himself.
He even released a statement from Louisiana's insurance commissioner, James Donelon, who evidently plans to ask lawmakers there for similar protection that Doak has secured here.
"I certainly support any actions that other states' insurance departments take, including those taken by Commissioner Doak in Oklahoma, to increase the level of personal safety for their fraud investigators," Donelon said.
"I hope that no other lives will be lost in this vital activity of states' insurance departments, due to a lack of personal safety for the investigators."
Murphey is no squishy, soft-on-crime liberal. But he is a crusader for government efficiency -- in other words, squeezing every last drop out of the taxpayers' dime. And his approach -- call in the uniformed, front-line professionals if a situation appears to be dangerous -- is pure Oklahoma sense.
Doak's purchases invite serious skepticism, though, because he's proven himself to be an inveterate publicity hound. One of his latest photo-ops involved spending part of Thanksgiving Day riding with a state trooper, ostensibly so he could see first-hand how they handle insurance-less drivers.
It would seem there's not much more to know about that subject. You are required by state law to carry liability insurance. If you're stopped and you don't have it, the big truck with the winch comes to impound your vehicle. And you have some serious 'splaining to do to the person with the badge.
Doak's publicity stunt is no doubt smart politics. As a mostly obscure, down-ballot statewide officeholder, Doak looks for any means possible to attract positive publicity. He's up for reelection in two years, after all.
But when you combine the cruisin' in a patrol car with spending $180K on law enforcement bells-and-whistles, you can't help but wonder whether it's all about publicity or whether Doak harbors some dream of becoming an Untouchable, tugging down the brim of his Ness-style fedora.
Okla. Sen. Harry Coates, R-Seminole, isn't alone in shaking his head in wonder. But he's taking steps to end the nonsense, drafting legislation that would thwart the agency from spending money on unnecessary gizmos.
Indeed, Coates said he fears the insurance department -- whose revenue is driven by fees and fines -- could be adopting a "police posture" to generate revenue through intimidation.
"I'm confident Oklahoma taxpayers will not be pleased to find they've bought $180,000 of SWAT-style equipment for an agency that doesn't need it," Coates said. "It could lead people to the conclusion the insurance commissioner is simply using every available public resource he can access to broaden his visibility for political purposes."
Think this is all much ado about nothing? Just one publicity-seeking pol squabbling with another? There's more to Doak's record that you should know.
In 2011, Doak told the Tulsa Association of Health Underwriters at the Tulsa Country Club that he believes his job is to "protect their jobs."
Really? It's not first and foremost to protect Oklahoma consumers from predatory practices? If you doubt the influence of campaign contributions on election officials, you might want to look at Doak's donor lists on file at the Oklahoma Ethics Commission.
Then, of course, there was last spring's public relations debacle when his office announced the criteria for the annual Insurance Commissioner's Award -- which, according to the news release, would be presented to the "girl with the biggest tits."
State agency? Or Animal House?
The aide responsible for the fraternity-style hijinks was forced to resign, but it only reinforced the perception that Doak is just another millionaire who financed his own campaign and now carries out a pattern of disrespectful and sexist behavior towards the female citizens of Oklahoma.
And now -- at a time when the state budget is tighter than ever -- Doak is spending money on SWAT-type gear?
He may fancy himself as an Untouchable, but his poor judgment evokes another lawman portrayed on television: Barney Fife.

Brandon Jones led the team with 11 points, followed by Brandon Lee with six, Sam Eagan four and Ryan Kucera with one. Next game is Feb. 1 against Red Oak.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I am so happy with how you guys handled my order. I ordered on a Wednesday, had my email proof of a different color then was offered by Friday, made a few adjustments at what I thought was after hours, but these changes were made within minutes, and finalized! I had an email on Monday saying they were ready to ship, and had them in my hand on Tuesday. I could not believe how fast they were, and professional looking they are. They are a hit with everyone who received one, and I'm over the moon!! My fiancé, who needless to say didn't want them, was equally as impressed with them. And that's saying a lot. I ordered this particular save the date in a dark purple and a blue writing and it's everything I could have hoped for! Our wedding colors came to life in these save the dates! Thank you for everything you did, and your fantastic service!"
"I used a cropped photo from a regular jpeg image and it came out just as clear on the magnets. The actual size was bigger than I imagined (about the size of a standard post card), which was a great surprise! The only area that could be improved would be the edges, they weren't completely smooth; most likely from the machine that cuts the large sheets, but it is really not a big deal and doesn't take away from the magnet at all."
"At first I was worried I couldn't order a sample of the magnet, but when I received them in the mail (earlier than expected), I was so happy with the final result. I can't wait to mail my Save the Dates and order my wedding invites in the future!"
"I cannot say enough good things about this card or the customer service at Wedding Paper Divas. My save the dates look so professional and the regular paper that it comes on is thicker than I expected and the print quality is SOOOOO good! My friends and family love them and keep telling me how professional and beautiful our save the dates are. Plus, I personally love the design of this save the date because it draws people's attention to what's important-- the actual wedding date! I ordered the white font and our picture was sunny and bright and it worked out perfectly. I worked closely with the design team at Wedding Paper Divas and they made sure the white font would show up! Seriously so so happy!"
"We used this for the Save the Dates for our wedding, got great feedback from recipients and family. Shipping speed was great as well as communication. Customer service is unmatched, live chat, and phone coversation was used and was VERY helpful. Thanks"

Nashville Celtic Rock Band Coming to the Alley | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Nashville Celtic rock band Molly Ramone will come to West Tennessee on Thursday, May 17, when singer/songwriter Mark Harriman and Joe Khoury will perform at Arts in the Alley in downtown Henderson. Beginning at 6 p.m., the event will be hosted by the Henderson Arts Commission in the alley off Main Street beside Frix-Jennings Clinic.
Originally from Leiceister, England, Harriman came to America in 1995 when he signed to Gravelsauce Records. Since then he has established himself as an integral part of the Nashville music scene. Khoury plays lead guitar and mandolin and sings backing vocals. He is a prominent session player and music producer in Nashville.
Regularly featured at both the Opryland Hotel and on Music Row, Molly Ramone has a delightful way of encouraging audiences to join the excitement by clapping or singing along to both traditional Irish ballads and newer Celtic rock music.
Around St. Patrick's Day, Molly Ramone released Irish After All, an album with an original song by the same title that was featured on Nashville's Lightning 100. Harriman currently is working on a new album, The Captain's Bride, and plans to perform a sneak preview of some of its songs. The album's songs intertwine to tell a story of forbidden love, love deferred and love that stands the test of time.
At each Arts in the Alley, vendors sell work that includes items such as sewn crafts, paintings, wreaths, wood cuttings, altered art crafts, handmade soaps and photography. Vendors confirmed to date include: Tracey Snow of LillyKates with jewelry; Butterfly Vintage and Sunshine Smith with up-cycled vintage accessories and hand-painted decor items; LaVon's Timeless Treasures with local painter Barbara Long; and Stajah Lee Hoeflich displaying paintings in a variety of media, including watercolor, oil and acrylic ranging in size from 8x10 to 30x44.
Booth spaces are $15 for non-members and $10 for Henderson Arts Commission members. Membership is $25 annually. The requirement for a having a booth is that the vendor is selling something handmade.
Celebrity grillers will cook hamburgers and hot dogs on site for brown bag specials. The meal includes two hot dogs or a hamburger, chips, drink and dessert for $6. The HAC brown bag special helps offset costs of Arts in the Alley events.
The Henderson Arts Commission exists to recognize, educate, enrich and entertain through the arts in Henderson, Chester County and the surrounding area. Arts in the Alley events are planned for third Thursdays throughout the spring, summer and fall. For more information about the event or becoming a vendor, visit http://www.facebook.com/HendersonArtsCommission or contact Jason Bramblett at email@example.com or 731-989-8019

In the midst of a severe recession, Americans are cutting their monthly bills to the bone. Landline phones and cable television are now nice-to-haves rather than must-have. But a broadband internet connection? Non-negotiable.
We've come a long way since the dial-up era, when usability best practices cautioned against using slow-to-load graphics on Web sites and in email. The Pew Internet & American Life project's Home Broadband Adoption 2009 report indicates home broadband penetration is holding steady at 54-57 percent of households, a healthy 63 percent of adult Americans. But adoption among senior citizens (65 and older) jumped from 19 percent last May to 30 percent in April of this year.
