I governor thanks so much -- understand first off welcome Louisiana every to have MIA and wonderful -- you have here how to thank.
Well and you know the weather is a lot nicer than back on what -- your colleagues it's a you're tying 29 degrees yes we don't we don't know between nine degrees and south Louisiana well you gonna find out next year to go to the Super Bowl which brings me to my next topic what does this mean.
To the state of Louisiana you've -- other times the tenth time what's gonna -- now financially.
Look this our -- Super Bowl the economists tell us -- over 400 million dollars the economy because the visitors.
Staying in hotels buying products spending money and economy.
But here's what's even more importantly I think that's -- flooding that's great economy what's so important means you've got literally thousands of reporters.
Reporting the New Orleans and Louisiana are open for business.
To -- people still think after Katrina that there's water in the streets that the businesses are open that that people are back to their homes.
The reality -- all the great about Wall Street Journal by income by many other publications.
One -- that the most improved cities when you look at the growth post census.
You look at our unemployment rate -- five point 5% as a state.
Were top ten for private sector job growth sold them what the best benefits for us in addition to hosting this great game.
Is that the entire world sees it New Orleans and Louisiana were open.
We were rebuilding after the storm we want people to come down here to have a great time to invest to create jobs and coming to where they always has got to offer covering.
Talk about overcoming I mean you look at Katrina you -- stop you look at the BP oil disaster has been one after another for you.
What does -- cost the state how is it acts the state.
You know look we got an incredibly resilient people we just made a fundamental decision that as we rebuilt from those challenges.
We're gonna rebuild better than what was there before let me give you some specific examples -- -- -- public schools.
One of the worst systems before Katrina.
Today seven papers and those kids are now -- charter schools.
You look at the percentage of kids that are reading doing math on grade -- just doubled in the last five years number kids -- a failing school before Katrina was over three quarters.
Today it's less enough power.
We got more work to -- but it's getting better public housing.
Knocked down the big monolithic structure before replacement -- integrated housing health care moving away from an ER based health care system.
Modern two billion dollar public private complex involving universities.
Research institutions of the day so an outpatient clinics -- people don't have to go the -- room.
Bottom line is that we made a deliberate choice we were in combat better than what was there before.
And we did it without raising taxes -- actually cut taxes largest income tax cut our State's history.
Governor a bunch of owners business taxes and now on on our legislature let's get rid of the income tax altogether let's get rid of the income tax on people on companies let's get rid of that the corporate franchise tax.
What we are showing is if you grow the private sector not the government economy it's amazing what can happen.
You've covered a -- you gotta -- -- want to go over a first off I know people little upset locally each cutting twenty million dollars out of schools.
Are are you concerned that the quality of educational dropped -- that that the kids will be getting the schooling in the guidance counselors and things like that I.
Sure we're not that we haven't technical funny wildly since I think government actually looks like from the university -- to her credit when you look at -- -- we've actually increased funding the good news is our universities were payment based on accountability and outcomes.
We said hey look before in Louisiana we rank pretty high and what we spend.
Per graduate compared to other southern states -- what we spend as a percentage -- of our budget.
The problem has -- is that we've got one of the lowest graduate writes so the on the university and said.
What kind of paid just for enrolling kids -- to pay based retention -- -- pay you based on graduation rates.
And in return for that we'll give you more flexibility to allow you to to save money terms of purchasing -- get rid of the duplication.
I think that's the mollify our education you're seeing that happen in Tennessee in that happened here and I'll always Anderson happen across the country were states -- saying.
We can't just throw money based on it duplication we can't borrow money without expecting accountability and graduation right.
Of the cuts costing you either whether temporary or permanent a little bit in your popularity a year ago you're on 64% and -- 51%.
Lot of governors we take that.
But if you've got elected with over 60% of the vote is this that are the voters sending you a message.
Well first I had the numbers actually -- -- but whatever the numbers are.
You can't govern based on polls you've got to do what's best in your state so yes -- -- -- governor we've -- tough to for example 171000.
Fewer government jobs government positions.
We've got now our state budget is 26% smaller.
I made -- absolutely were not raise taxes but look at what's happened per capita income.
Where are rankings are higher than it's been an eighty year 25 years in a row we've been losing population since I've been governor five years in row we've had more people moved into the state -- the state.
Chief executive magazine says -- the most improved state in the entire country.
-- -- just announced over twenty billion dollar investment in our state.
Almost one -- -- largest ever investment our State's history made the largest foreign direct investment in our State's history we've got economic development when tens of thousands of jobs.
-- unemployment rate you know that the national unemployment rate went up ours went down to five point 5%.
National credit ratings are getting -- -- are going up higher than they've been in in decades and so the bottom line is if you're willing to make tough choices you can actually.
Grow your economy have results were were people are doing better one of the things we pushed through -- was very controversial we had folks march on the capital we had folks in the streets was.
We we provide now meaningful school choice for our kids -- -- dollars -- -- of the child following the dollars.
You just wanna be popular no you don't take on the teacher unions no you don't take on the bureaucrats.
Was that this is the right thing to do we said this is the way to improve education for our kids so they're not trapped in failing schools.
We do -- -- -- trends discussed and really Phil Mickelson deserves a lot of credit for bringing this front center by saying by the way around and this paraphrase.
-- probably have to leave California decent thinking because and giving away 60% of my income.
And Tiger Woods came middle of -- -- -- that's why I left in 1996 I want to Florida.
You're looking to do -- California's not and that is -- active state tax down to zero how do you make up that revenue if you wanna join Florida and Texas.
You know in Louisiana we've got the fourth lowest state local tax burden -- the tax on -- a little bit lower than Texas.
But -- ranked 32 worst in our tax code the reason we have 400 -- Part of a reasonably afford 68 exemptions.
No loopholes in credit -- give me an example we have a corporate income tax in this state.
We collect two billion dollars.
We then give back one point eight billion dollars -- net 200 million dollars so.
Part of how you make up that revenue is you get rid of these loopholes these credits these giveaways and you say.
Why are we taking money from people's pockets sending it to batters and giving it back to special interest groups of people -- -- some of those loopholes credit.
People don't remember -- they were -- there and play.
-- got -- 3.3 billion dollars through the revenue and a lot of people concerned hey he's gonna raise sales tax.
So when I go to -- or anything else that's gonna get -- and -- addressed.
-- a couple of things one we've made actually clear we're not -- this is not an excuse to raise taxes.
Has the overall package at worst -- -- revenue neutral we made it very clear this is not excuse -- more money in government pockets.
Secondly we made it very clear what exclude the look ourselves tax as a state forty excludes things like prescription drugs food for home consumption utilities industrial equipment manufacturing based equipment.
That and other things -- we're gonna continue to be done it in our constitution and make sense for us to continue to do that we have said look we're looking at.
But -- things whether it's severance exemptions whether it's all these other exemptions are built with tax code.
If I'm takeaways amusing contacts and their corporate tax they don't need -- -- Akron they don't need that.
Now we might have to raise that this -- tax a little bit to make up some of these -- at the end of the day.
Louisiana families and -- better off.
A consumption tax phils opt out thing is better than an income tax I don't think he's been punishing people are making more money when they're saving more money -- they're investing their money.
I think as a result of this again the Tax Foundation says are kind of grow more quickly says more people and what that means to me and -- our kids can pursue their dreams about leaving -- state.
I just think it make sense let people keep more of their money.
Stop growing government grow the private sector economy will -- so much about Washington DC is there worried about growing government jobs not the private sector jobs.
Getting rid of the income tax allows us to grow private sector -- And we're gonna see that that happens it looks again in that direction he can get the support of of the legislature.
As as you located the main thing that's really weighing down that they that you're trying to -- the president's attention on and that is.
Medicaid you wanna sit down with him with some Republican governors -- kind of response have you gotten from President Obama because.
They're asking you to go with in your words and 1960s model instead of a model that you think will be affected.
You study Medicare for two years just on your own before you got this job.
You know look at the reality is Bob -- used to have the RJ.
Broke -- the president for this meeting are written -- asking for this mean we've gotten no response governors know what it take Medicaid make Medicaid work it is now dated it is an ineffective models based on 1960s -- and obviously a few examples of what we think to existing program even before -- start thinking about an expansion makes no sense to add.
1617 million people -- program that forty inefficient forty breaking state budget.
For example.
Why not allow more cautionary as people make more money so that it not everything's free -- documents and of the utilized resource properly -- not have consumer based products like medical savings accounts like private health insurance so.
People can take -- for their own health care third and help people -- private insurance as a premature of government run health care system.
Fourth one that have instead of a one size fits all benefits package one -- -- the benefits let the states decide how they wanted to eligibility how they wanted to benefits.
These are the kinds of ideas that would collectively could save both the states and federal government billions of dollars.
And better serve our people in his prison for -- -- half years do you believe you ever gonna get a return phone call you know I look.
On the continue to be optimistic but the reality is the attitude seems to be you know you're hurting status you're part of this last arm after one election attorney -- campers -- -- I won the election.
I hope I hope they realized that it makes sense for them to work with governor we haven't seen signs of that -- I think it's one of the reasons you saw so many governors Louisiana was one -- -- included.
It's that we're not -- the health care changes because basically the Supreme Court says you don't have to.
Know what what even before the -- supreme -- it would have to Medicaid expansion but we've also said we're not gonna do but on the exchanges the reason we said we're not doing it is Braude is -- argument -- any authority any flexibility is basically -- micro manager from Washington DC there's and the benefits packages.
They're citing pricing they're deciding profitability.
Not really letting the state run at all so it made no sense for us to -- to try to run something DC was -- micromanage and our hands.
I think they were surprised how many states -- -- I think they were surprised dozens of states that now some hopeful that got their attention I'm hopeful we'll sit down and look.
We need to be partners at the table they didn't -- -- -- they wrote this law.
At the very least they need to ask governor I'd love -- -- -- repealed and replaced but the very least they need to sit and listen governors and here Arafat how they can make Medicaid more effective.
For all of our beneficiaries and for all of our -- You give a major address.
To the Republican Party and it's picked up by everyone a couple of days later everyone's picking out one thing is if you'll get two sentences.
And those sentences are we have to stop being -- -- report.
And you pointed out to senatorial candidates and some of the -- some of the ridiculous -- they had to make about abortion.
And so everyone ran with but you actually seven separate points on that.
In what way do you believe that the Republicans have the right message they just don't have the right messaging.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But we have to apply our principles to specific policy ideas where we don't insult the intelligence of voters and I'm glad you recognized your right I said several things one the most important things -- said.
Is that we've got to be the party -- growth we've got to be the party that is all about growing the middle class the private sector economy.
Not the government.
The real world happens outside Washington DC the reality is we're -- inspirational country.
Our people know we can be better than our parents we want the opportunity get a good education.
Go get a good paying jobs.
To specific examples that we talked a bit about today one is educational choice the second is getting rid of all the loopholes in the tax code making it lower flatter and simpler sort really is about being the party to grow.
The governor which are saying is completely up to be successful.
But is it possible to do that at the same time give people the safety net so they're not successful but not gonna fall flat down and that's when we get into the big to.
Absolutely -- compassionate people the American people -- if people generally need help.
We're gonna help them a great example that is welfare reform Republican said we can apply our conservative principles we wanna help people generally need help it should be temporary help the programs called temporary assistance to needy families.
But at the same time let's get an education let's get them workforce training let's expected to go look for a job.
But the governor Bobby Jindal gonna go to somebody who still can't find a job after years sorry this program was only meant to be for a few months I'm gonna have to cut you off.
That doesn't get you reelected and might be the right thing in the fiscal sane thing to do but that might be the type of thing -- you say OK -- -- I'm not gonna get reelected him.
Well look chanting go as long as you know now wonder this present he's extended unemployment almost in some states -- -- unemployment rates for.
For over a year in many cases in some cases almost a hundred weeks and a bit extended unemployment bit temporary extended unemployment they're all kinds of safety -- federal ten minute that goes -- -- five years.
The point is this you don't have to choose between fiscal responsibility in compassion most compassionate thing that one of the most impassioned -- I think we can do is to grow the economy.
Unemployment rate today is higher than when this president took office the compassionate thing is not to tell those folks we can't we're not to create good paying -- -- you have to be dependent on government.
I don't think most people want to be dependent on government I think -- given the opportunity to provide for their own families I think there's dignity in work for people who truly need help.
Yes the government it -- but not only to go running churches now I think private individual should help we we certainly donate to charities and causes are personally.
But yes at the end of the day we are going to be compassionate and what happened turn people away from from emergency -- soccer term people way they're hungry.
But truly truly compassionate conservative policies I think that drive private sector economic growth.
I think -- the best way to help lift people out of poverty give them a chance in the middle class and have a better quality of life.
-- those suggesting things you said of late stop talking about zero deficits stopped talking about -- we -- you are a fiscally responsible guy who's very concerned about that.
We -- stop talking.
-- my point is we can't be obsessed with the zeros with government.
I think the presence -- a very good job of setting up the debate be all about government to -- up debating government and it feels like all conservatives care about is government.
We actually need to -- about.
But let's beyond Washington's every abouts budget we mixed -- changes.
We amend the constitution -- our balanced budget until there's a supermajority to raise taxes until there's a supermajority that says the government spending cannot grow -- in the economy three things spot where there were in our constitutional -- -- I think any parliament as well -- our constitution when he structural changes.
These these fights about the the debt limit the fiscal cliff and all of these -- Yes it's important we stop this president from spending our children and grandchildren and -- debt but but.
But as a party we are more than just fighting about governing government programs.
We need to be about growing the private sector economy this president -- seem to get that all it wants to do is spend more government dollars.
He you know his jobs council met four times and -- -- at least -- is that we don't need an -- won reelection I don't need jobs council anymore.
We as a party need to stand up and say we understand that bigger government has not -- dropped bombs this president's trying to make us more like Europe.
I don't think the Republican party's job is to be for a little less socialism than pres Obama.
I think it's our job to say let's get back what makes this country great and -- the president's inaugural ball back collective action it was -- -- campaign speech.
As Republicans we believe one of the things that's so great about this country not our government.
It's individual action its individual actually creates ideas creates companies transmits baggage from one generation and exceeds its individual action that -- -- provided Somers diet and dynamism to this country.
And you and you say that free individuals to take risks and build businesses and inventing things -- thin air however.
He said he stop talking down to the American people stop -- it -- however if you're running against somebody.
And you're talking about big states -- restructuring Medicare Medicaid.
In thirty seconds you have Paul Ryan and somebody actually -- right throwing a granny off the cliff bottom line in our society MTV society I'm gonna remember that -- -- over the cliff.
With the Republican tossing them more than they have -- to show you -- restructuring of Medicare how -- -- dumbed down and win and win an election.
The American people are smarter than that a lot of consultants give them credit for I think they know -- let's -- about Medicare one they know that the current spending is not sustainable.
Secondly they know that doesn't make sense that parents and grandparents -- and it says he's now the congress a barn almost -- cents for every dollar spending.
They know you ask any parent or grandparent you wanna take money from your children for you're pointing out that this is deal also it's the same policy don't touch my Medicare.
And don't touch Social Security I think if we if Republicans take the time to explain to folks.
The status -- not sustainable it's not working we can improve this for you wouldn't give you more choices more flexibility in a way that is more efficient.
Now the president did a great job this last election trying to divide and scare people so the -- scare ads the class warfare -- the so called war on women.
I think we republic Republicans -- reject -- reject -- any politics reject this to visit the divisiveness.
And instead appeal took -- really unite as Americans they were country people abide by their color of their skin by their gender bother their there they're class by the religion we're gonna unite Americans.
I think the American people are optimistic people I think they know where this is -- young country I think they know our best days are ahead of us.
I think we can win those debates and yes I think we can sit -- the other side Collison and not -- -- -- talk about medi scare tactics I think we can sit down and have an honest conversation.
There were to pull back and artwork you referenced Medicare commission -- worked -- there's a poll like that win.
Of young people that had more young people believed -- you up close.
And thought Social Security was going to be there for them when they retire.
And I think people get.
I think you know every person follows every budget -- -- every the decimal point and the budget debt.
But they do know instinctively -- know my family it's been more money than -- take into the government.
Instinctively they know there's no government that's been able to spend or borrow its -- to prosperity and instinctively the -- politicians promise them everything.
I know that's not realistic -- know you can't get everything for free I think we need -- the American people's intelligence and talked.
-- adults -- the talk to -- your passion for intrusive for these subjects and looks in your background work the Bush Administration you've been a congressman.
Now you've been a governor very successful state -- that national figure.
You know what being president would entail an analyst dedication.
What if you -- -- be if if anybody wants to be a candidate for president 2016 like yourself when do you think that suggesting.
Anybody on the Republican side even thinking or talking about running for president when he sixteen.
I said -- to get their head examined and the reason I say that is one we've got to win the debate of ideas we lost an election we should want.
We lost now this president -- we've lost two presidential -- zero.
We need to be winning the debate about his then will win elections and -- -- not just about -- elections about you know country on the right track.
We've got some important gubernatorial elections this year in Virginia New Jersey.
Over the next couple years we have over two dozen governors' races on the head of the RJ we've got a lot of elections -- to focus on an important -- we also have congressional elections.
But even before we think about those elections.
We need to be winning the debate of ideas we lost that debate about this exit polls show the American a majority of American voters think the government's trying to do too much.
They want smaller government yet they voted for President Obama that means we're not winning the conversation we're not presenting -- ideas were not in that debate -- -- we should.
Why do you need you had examined a run for president why don't you you quite as easily run for president like yourself.
By winning that debate of ideas.
A lot of things into this thinking about her putting the other team we're trying to run for president now it's way too early that's why that comes book that -- -- four years of nonstop president we just an.
Right now any Republican wants to be a leader that wants to be helpful I think needs to focus on winning this debate of ideas -- to focus on showing the American people our ideas work.
We need to have the courage of our principle we need to believe.
That our principles will improve people's lives -- you know that's still a center right country I believe and we need to connect with the average voters felt and -- -- of reasons I also said in Charlotte bit.
We gotta be fighting for a 100% of the votes not 4753.
Whatever -- -- fighting for every single vote.
Apple's of this -- you asked about the person that.
Making the struggling to get a job or may need help and one of things also said Charles when he stopped looking backwards from a break ground rule Obama on cite Ronald Reagan I want to think about.
You can't imagine Ronald Reagan were were alive today if you were running for office today.
This is what he would say about that four person that was on.
Food stamps are on welfare and -- one today.
This war woman wants a better quality of life for herself and for children who want to.
Now unfortunate because this president's -- she can't get a good paying job.
If you vote for me -- my party will put to put in place the policies all our get a better paying job so you'd have to stand in line to get these benefits this is not where she wants to be he would honor the dignity that person and I can -- -- provider -- better economic future by putting in place policies that actually work.
We need to be having that kind of debate we need to be honoring the American people and showing them that.
There that there are two choices the left very much wants that future Americans be.
All about government all about the these these growing government program.
We need to show people that there's a different future that goes back to our roots it's all about independent -- government -- not about government interference our lives.
It's about individual Americans providing for their families and doing better in a growing economy governor thanks so much -- -- putted.

MISSOULA - One Missoula business thought Valentine's Day seemed like the perfect time to bring back an old tradition- the kissing booth.
But this wasn't your typical kissing booth. That's because it was being manned by a dog.
Habitat Floral set up the booth to drum up some business in downtown Missoula on Thursday. Otto the dog was more than up to the task.
Visitors stopped by to get smooches from Otto. But he was a little more excited when he received a treat as payment.
In addition to kisses, Otto also provided many smiles to passers-by and those who stopped in for a smooch.

LOWELL - She is in her element.
It is quintessential Linda Trouville, surrounded by children, scrub-faced and eager to learn.
"I love getting up in the morning and coming to work," she says. "It's a wonderful place to be."
Trouville, who spent close to 40 years in various capacities in the Dracut Public Schools, took over an ailing St. Louis School in the summer of 2010. The iconic Catholic school in Lowell's Centraville section, which serves K through eighth-grade students, had seen its enrollment dwindle throughout the previous decade. With Trouville at the helm, enrollment has been steadily climbing, from 269 in the 2010 to 337 students last year.
Citing records from 2004 when enrollment was at its zenith with 475 students, Trouville said her goal in the 2012-13 school year is 350 students.
"I believe it's very doable," she said, pointing out that several interviews and tours have been scheduled for the weeks leading up to the beginning of school. "Last year, 40 students enrolled in the summer months. Many of those happened just before the start of the school year."
Trouville said it's especially thrilling for her to meet parents, grandparents and great-grandparents who have all attended St. Louis School.
"When you have four generations from the same family attending the same school and the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents are just as excited about their child coming here as if they were coming here, that tells me that we must be offering something here that families are looking for.
Tuition at the school is $3,500 a year. The price goes down $100 for each additional child from the same family.
"We have families that send three or four children here," she explains. "That's a huge commitment. A huge sacrifice. But it's well-worth it because of the type of education you receive here at St. Louis School."
Q: Private Catholic schools require a heavy financial sacrifice. What is the number one reason for sending your child to Catholic school?
A: "For those who are deeply ensconced in the faith, the biggest advantage is that everything that is taught here is grounded in Jesus. It's grounded in teaching our students how to be moral, upstanding individuals who display the characteristics that Jesus displayed: kindness, patience, responsibility, honesty, love. We have so many parents who send their children here, not only for the academic excellence they will receive here, but also for the good and moral foundation that they will build. The parents are all very supportive of what is done here, our disciplinary policies and our expectation of excellence. Our motto is 'Expect Excellence' -- excellence in academics, excellence in character and excellence in their relationships with each other."
Q: How hard is it not having a functioning Catholic church right next door?
A: "We still have a chapel there and we still use the church as a church once a month during Masses. The chapel isn't big enough to accommodate the entire school but the church is. So we can still celebrate the Mass there. We have a type of stage and we bring the altar out. The old church is now called 'The Center' and sometimes we will have our prayer services there. The only disadvantage is that we have to travel to get to our parish churches. This used to be a parish church prior to 2004 when the archdiocese closed many churches. The neighbors still come out when we have the Mass. They still feel that connection. We want them to be a part of the growth that we are experiencing. We invite the neighbors to a lot of our activities."
Q: A large immigrant population has moved into the neighborhood in the past few years. How has St. Louis School been able to adapt to the diversity in the neighborhood?
A: "The biggest influx has been from the African community. As many as 30 children have come into school in the last year. There's a lot of explanation of how things work in the United States and the expectations of a private school. There's a lot of assimilation with the parents and the youngsters. Sometimes they don't speak English too well. But the students are wonderful and they will put their arm around them and make sure they feel welcome.
"And a lot of parents who are from the African community are Evangelical pastors themselves with their own churches so they understand and actually encourage obeying the rules, discipline, and accountability for your actions. They welcome that."
Q: Why are there so many lay teachers these days and fewer nuns teaching in Catholic schools?
A: "That's easy. There aren't a lot of young ladies going into the novitiate and the nuns that are still teaching are aging. That's pretty much it. There just are not enough women going into the order. But let me add that nothing is lost in the classroom. All of our lay teachers are certified to teach religion. They are required to talk about our religion and weave it into all the classes. So a lot of the gospel teachings, a lot of the morals that come with our faith is spoken of freely to the students throughout the day. That's one of the pieces I like. I can talk openly about Jesus. I can say 'Christmas' and not have to think twice about it. Don't forget, I was in the public school system for almost 40 years.
"Let me add one more thing about our wonderful teachers. We have teachers who came here because they only wanted to teach in a Catholic school. They love and embrace the values that are taught here. They are highly qualified and could be making much more money in the public schools. They know that. But for them, it's more than a teaching job, it's a vocation."
Q: Do private schools like St. Louis School have to comply with the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) requirements?
A: "No. We administer the Stanford Achievement Tests and I analyze them in much the same manner that I did with the MCAS tests when I worked in the Dracut Public Schools. Having been in charge of that, I just brought a lot of that thinking with me. We look at the tests and determine whether the students are progressing and if the teachers are adequately instructing the classroom.
"We're somewhat data-driven in the sense that I look very carefully at the progress of individual children, not so much as a whole class.
"We are not required to do the MCAS tests because we are not required to report to the Massachusetts Department of Education or the Commissioner of Education or superintendent in Lowell. We report to the Archdiocese of Boston and they have an entire schema of administrators that are equivalent to the state Board of Education."

I love Cucina's pizza! The margarita pizza is to die for! It is a little spendy, but it's worth it. It can be really busy at times, so go during the week for lunch if you don;t want to wait as long.

Not exciting but good service and wine list. Pizzas are good to stick with. Portion sizes reasonable too. Just nothing very special
Ate here for lunch one afternoon, inside, and enjoyed every second of it. Huge windows over look the small lake as many dined outside. We chose to sit indoors due to bugs and bees but didn't mind it since we had the whole place to ourselves! The pizza was amazing and the salads were also great. The location was a... More
Nice afternoon on the terrace, ordered a couple pizzas and some wine. Service good, food good, just what we expected. Pond view a plus.
First, the wine list is outstanding and reasonably priced. Food is reasonably priced, but seemed just like average Italian food. Service was okay and the staff was very friendly.
Recently, we went to Kohler for the day and decided to stop at the Shops at Woodlake. We ran across Cucina and went in for a quick lunch. What a pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and our lunch was FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend stopping in for lunch. My only regret was that we weren't able... More
Cucina is a great restaurant in the shopping area on Woodlake near the American Club - a short walk away. The food is so fresh and there is a nice variety to choose from. We always enjoy their "triple express" lunch - you select a 1/2 panini, pizza, or pasta along with a small salad & a cup of soup.... More
Nothing went wrong here - this was probably an excellent Italian restaurant for the area. It was our fault - coming from the NYC area and expecting to find authentic Italian food in Wisconsin was not realistic. No offense to WI - every part of the world has their specialties and in WI, I'd stick to cheese and meat -... More
Very good food, very friendly staff. Disliked that they were a little too friendly, almost bordering on butt kissing.
This is an excellent restaurant; however, it still takes second place to Il Ritrovo/Stefano's in Sheboygan. Service was excellent and the value is comparable to Il Ritrovo/Stefano's. The atmosphere is excellent especially with the waterfront outdoor seating. We had the following: sangria, caprese, margherita pizza, spaghetti with meatballs, Italian margheritta, cappuccino, and a cannoli. I enjoyed everything; however, the food... More

September 13, 2010 by sniffit · Leave a Comment
New updates on events happening at HackerspaceKL Sept-Oct
First, on behalf of HackerspaceKL, I would like to wish all our readers, friends & supporters Selamat Hari Raya Eid Fitr.
After a long silence, it's time to bring news on what's going down with HackerspaceKL in the months to come. I humbly apologize for the lack of updates as it has been a hectic and tiring amount of days for myself personally as well a majority of the HackerspaceKL crew.
UNIX-g33ks Part Deux begins 09/19/2010
The UNIX-g33ks series continues with the Part Deux of the series, FreeBSD Essentials. The sessions are scheduled to start on the coming 19th of September 2010 at HackerspaceKL with our resident FreeBSD guru, Suresh Ramasamy, beginning at 1.30 pm till 3.30 pm.
These sessions are focused on FreeBSD content along with some tips and tricks on how to manage your FreeBSD setup efficiently. The breakdown of the sessions are as follows:-
- Understanding how the operating system internals work
- Installing FreeBSD
- System level configuration and customization
- Introduction to /usr/src tree
- Application management via PORTS
- Configuring custom freebsd kernel
- Linux compatibility stack
- FreeBSD System management and maintenance
Note: Some of these sessions maybe combined to run on the same date depending on the subject matter.
The cool part of FreeBSD essentials is that they can also be applied to managing your Mac OS X setups too. So if you're a Mac OS X user
Software Freedom Day KL (SFD-KL) is on 09/19/2010
Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business — in short, everywhere! The non-profit organization Software Freedom International coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities.
This year, for the first time, SFD is going to be held at HackerspaceKL, organized by our very own one-geek army Ng Swee Meng (@sweemeng on twitter). His efforts to make SFD-KL happen started from 2009 itself, but due to the nature of the clashing schedules, it didn't happen last year.
SFD-KL will take place at HackerspaceKL on the same day as UNIX-g33ks Part Deux, 19th of September 2010. Check out the event page here.
More info about Software Freedom Day is available at http://softwarefreedomday.org/
HITB Hard Hack Village happening on 10/13 – 10/14/2010
A follow up from this post HackerspaceKL will be at the Hard Hack Village at HITBSecConf-Malaysia with Randomdata (Utrecht/Netherlands) help you to setup your own electronics and demonstrate how easy things work. One of the main electronic components which will be used is the Arduino micro-controller platform. rduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Various electronic kits will be available for sale like Arduino, TV-Bgone, spokepov's and sim-card readers on those days, so don't forget to bring your wallets. In addition, there will also be a "Jumpstart Arduino" lab session which will give you a quick start on how to get working with Arduino.
Hard Hack Village will be held at the Crowne Plaza Mutiara, KL on the 13th & 14th of October 2010.
Stay tuned for more surprises available at HITB Hard Hack Village brought to you by your one and only hackerspace community in Malaysia, HackerspaceKL.

UNIX-g33ks : The 1st session on 27th June 2010.
It's the 27th of June 2010 and it marks the start of the UNIX-g33ks series beginning with the UNIX Essentials.
On behalf of our speaker, Suresh as well as HackerspaceKL for those who managed to come for the 1st session of the UNIX-g33ks series, the response was phenomenal. Out of 58 registrants, 28 actually managed to make it today, and we managed to stretch the capacity of the infrastructure of HackerspaceKL to it's limits.
Details for the 2nd and 3rd sessions of UNIX-g33ks are already posted on the events calender. With regards to the possibility of having an alternative session, more details will be made available on the site and the mailing list as soon as it becomes available.
For today's attendees, please direct any feedback,suggestions and ideas to sniffit at hackerspace dot my. Details of your feedback will be treated as private and confidential by HackerspaceKL committee.
Once again thank you for attending the 1st session and we hope to see you on the next one.
UPDATE: Pictures from the session are available here. Attendees can obtain the slides from the files section on the the google groups page.

UNIX-g33ks : the 1st Session
June 17, 2010 by sniffit · Leave a Comment
The UNIX-g33ks 1st session registration is now closed.
We would like to thank those who signed up for the session, which will commence on the 27th of June 2010. At the time of form closure we have a total of 59 registrants, 48 non-members and 11 members of HackerspaceKL. An overwhelming response not anticipated by HackerspaceKL organizers, proving that there is interest from the public to learn and adapt FOSS technologies in enterprise and a personal level.
We have also setup a mailing list for UNIX-g33ks. This mailing list serves a point of interaction between participants of the UNIX-g33ks series and HackerspaceKL. Feel free to share, answer and discuss the anything pertaining to the topics in the sessions or unix-related. This is a moderated list controlled by members of HackerspaceKL.
The next session of UNIX-g33ks, "Session 2 – Using your UNIX account – looking at basic linux usage and file system/structure" will be announced shortly after the 1st session.
Once again, thank you for registering with UNIX-g33ks and we hope to see you on the 27th of June.

Product of the Week: Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Shadow in Burnished Copper
The brown base I used to reach for all the time was MAC's Constructivist Paint Pot, but if you've ever owned a pot shadow before, you'll know they get dry over time and harden to the point where they're almost impossible to work with.
I still use my Contructivist Paint Pot but I need to add a drop of silicone oil to sort of dissolve and thin it out before I can use it properly.
Now, my local Sephora recently started stocking Laura Mercier products, so I grabbed the chance to buy a few of the cult products such as the Secret Camouflage concealer (I bought SC-2 and I really like it so far).
The other product I picked up was this Metallic Cream Eye Color in Burnished Copper.
Verdict: (Summary if you don't want to read the full details)
Great shadow intensifier and primer for those with dry-to-normal lids and love browns, but want to jazz it up a little by layering it with other shades, or getting that really intensely-rich chocolate smoky eye. Also good on a variety of skins, from light-to-deep, as this has enough red tones in it not to appear ashy or brassy on really dark skin tones.
If you have porcelain skin, approach with caution as deep reddened browns can make you look like you got punched in the eye. A softer, more ashy brown would probably look better.
Texture-wise, I don't think this will be very good for oily lids as it's quite emollient, even though it sets and isn't slippery like MAC Cream Color Bases.
Now at USD$22 (I believe just under SGD40 in Singapore; I threw out my receipt and forgot!), I won't call this the most affordable product on the market, but it's also not more expensive than MAC, and a little bit does go a very long way with this. The texture is creamy and luxurious so it blends easily, and makes powder pigments go on a LOT more intensely on top. (Dry bases tend not to intensify color, although they last longer.)
The shade/finish:
Now as the name suggests, this is a deep chocolate brown with a shot of coppery-red tones. Not so much that it actually looks russet, but enough to warm up the brown and make it more flattering for more skin tones.
It's a metallic/pearl shade, but as you sheer it out, the sheen sort of fades.
There are a handful of other neutral shades, but I was primarily going to use this as a base and prefer non-shimmery finishes when using light eye shadow primers, so I gave those a miss.
Gel-creme, silky, and not so different from an Urban Decay eye shadow primer. Sets, but isn't bullet-proof.
Tips and Tricks for Use:
- Apply with a synthetic brush for easy blending and more precision, but this works with the fingers as well due to the creamy texture. It won't be as cakey and streaky as a MAC Paint Pot if you choose to use your fingers.
- If you want to wear a little color in the day for work or school but don't want to go overboard, then just apply a little colored shadow over this. You'll get a neutral look with a twist.
- Pack glitter over this and you get lids that look neutral from far away but sparkle and glimmer up close!
- WARNING: If you want a rich brown, apply a matching chocolate brown shadow over it. Don't try to layer on more Creme Shadow or it will crease!

I am in love with the navy collection by The Limited. This suit jacket is very sharp and true to size - no tailoring needed. I especially like how slim the arms are since my arms are really lean, many suit jackets tend to look baggy around the shoulders and throughout the arms. Not this one. Perfect. I have two of the navy suits from The Limited and they are my favorite suits by far. I am so glad this was made into a collection!
September 13, 2013
love it! the whole suit was high quality, and looked great on. can't say enough good things about this suit.

Quality, quality, quality.
Everything about this jacket is perfect. The fit, color and quality could not be better. This is one of those jacket that you just feel good wearing.
May 9, 2012
cute but didn't fit
I would have loved this jacket if it had fit me. I am 5'8", 125 lbs, and I ordered a zero since the Limited tops tend to run big on me. It buttoned perfectly, but the sleeves were a bit too short, and the bust was way too big. I wear an A cup and I think it would have fit a B or a C cup. It just sagged in the chest area. Disappointing for me, but it would fit somebody with an average-sized chest. Great quality!
The color matched perfectly to the Drew Folded Belt Loops pants in navy that I had. I suggest getting both for a cute, updated suit.
April 24, 2012
Great Suit Jacket
I just received this jacket from my on-line order and it is perfect! I bought the pants and skirt so now I have multiple outfits for my business trips. The material is very good quality. Sleeve length is just right. It can be dressed up or down. I am very glad I made this purchase!
April 4, 2012
Perfect Navy Suit Jacket
If you're tired of wearing black suits, this is a good change of pace. The material is quality and looks so classy and goes with a myriad of tops. I got both the skirt and the pants in Navy. Get this in your closet!

Even though the assembly time is about 2hrs. It worth seeing the child's eyes light up when they drive it. The mustang wasn't too hard to build, I did it alone. And the stickers were fairly easy to put on in the correct spot. The speed stopper is a must for children learning to drive a power wheels and can be removed easily. The Velcro seat belts are an excellent feature too. The mustang doesn't work well on grass but is fine on the sidewalk pavement. Overall I thought it was a great product and an excellent gift for a child that loves Disney Princesses, like my niece. Now she too has a mustang.

This was a gift for my 5 year old daughter. She is quite petite and fits in it well. However, the wheels constantly spin without actually pushing the car, even on flat surfaces. I have to follow her around the driveway and keep giving the car a push just to get it going again. The same thing occurs on grassy surfaces. Maybe the car would work better if the wheels were rubber instead of plastic? For the very high price, I feel that this car should perform better.

At Northridge Hospital Medical Center, we recognize that as community leaders and stewards of community health, we can have a lasting impact on the environment by Reducing, Recycling, Replenishing, Reusing, Reprocessing and Donating.
Environmental sustainability programs help hospitals significantly improve environmental health. These efforts also can lower costs, improve organizational performance and enhance the patient and employee experience.
Reduce One of the most significant steps in the organization's waste reduction efforts was to work with the Purchasing Department to move from disposable to reusable or reduced packaging when possible. In fact, a reduction in waste is included in some vendor contracts. Moreover, many vendors have been instructed not to leave waste behind when they make deliveries. This eye-opening practice has alerted vendors to the amount of waste and spurred some to make changes.
We have been working diligently to assure a responsible approach to reprocessing, which conserves resources without placing our patients at risk. In 2011 Dignity Health eliminated 198,080 lbs. of medical waste from the waste stream at a fiscal cost avoidance of $5,596,218.
Northridge Hospital and Dignity Health are dedicated to ecological change through their membership in the following organizations:
As health care providers, we also recognize the interdependence between human health and our environment and believe in the caring environmental stewardship. We incorporate environmental principles into the work we do every day—designing efficient buildings, conserving water, reducing waste, eliminating hazardous chemicals, tracking greenhouse gases, advocating for change, and even in the nourishment of our own bodies. For more information read our 2011 Social Responsibility Report.
Going green for your health can be simpler than you think. Be a lean "green" machine.

i'm wondering what OS's (and to a lesser extent hardware) my fellow streamers are running on their ST boxes? i'm especially interested in finding out how many, if any, run linux, win 2k, macOS, etc.
you can post Version #'s/service pack level. if running linux, what distro, (and are you using wine?)
also, what do you use to capture video?--tv card, usb, screencap, etc...
EDIT: for the record, i'm using win XP SP0, with an ati rage fury pro capture card for video only (no tuner, it has composite video-in) and SoundBlaster model CT4810 for audio.
EDIT2: dmw has informed me that linux and mac os are right out!...but i'm still curious as to which version(s) of M$ windoze people are using for ST streaming

Cary wrote:My previous hangar at 3V5 before it was closed had a bi-fold. Although it worked fairly well, a cable came undone once and nearly cost me my airplane. If I were to build my own hangar, I'd probably opt for an overhead bifold, but I'd sure want a door that was reliable and had some sort of safety mechanism to keep it from dropping if something broke. I think that would eliminate any home-made door.Cary
Here are my safetys for a bifold/hi fold style. Homemade and Handy and safer than most.
In this photo notice there are four independent supporting cables that lift the door. If one breaks the others will keep it from falling. Many older doors rely on just one or maybe two cables that thread through pulleys to multiple pull points. If one broke the whole door came down, or with two cables one end dropped, twisting the door.
Four independent cables provide saftey and notice they are anchored at the top of the door frame itself making the tension of pull transfer only to the door frame, and not to the building header. The hinges of the door then spread only the lift weight to the header, not to cable pull points attached to the header. The cable anchor points at the top of the frame then also move outward as it opens eliminating the back and inward pull of cables that comes with anchoring to the header. Also notice the cables at the hinge point, they go over kickouts. As the cables tighten it kicks the hinge point outward starting the fold. This door cannot fall if one cable or hinge breaks. The motor and limit switch box along side allows setting the upper stop point and the lower stop point for automatic operation. I wired mine so on one push it fully opens but wired the close button so I have to stand there and hold the button the whole time. I can't make that last second dash to move something in the way while the door continues to close. I made this nearly idiot proof with the change below.
Second photo shows the safety lock/unlock I made. The over center lock lever handle has a plate welded to it. The plate covers the open button when in the down/locked position preventing anyone from pressing the open button when the levers are locked. You have to lift and unlock the lever first. Easy solution and preferable to the fate of hitting the opener button when the door is still locked down. Many bifolds have met their early demise by this screwup.

Create a digital Yule log with your Apple TV
As far as holiday traditions go, it's hard to beat the Yule log for stirring up those feelings of coziness and warmth that come in handy this time of year. Just grab a Bunyanesque chunk of lumber, set it on fire, and bask in its warming glow for the better part of the day while carols play, chestnuts are roasted, and Jack Frost is prohibited from nipping at your nose or any other body part. Yes, the Yule log is just about the perfect holiday tradition—unless you don't have a fireplace. Or you're a civic-minded person living in an area that places restrictions on when you can and can't have a wood-burning fire. Or if the very idea of putting you together with open flame is fraught with peril. In which case, you are boned.
Or boned you would be, were it not for the vision of Fred M. Thrower. Mr. Thrower, who is still awaiting his call from the Nobel committee, was the president and CEO of WPIX-TV in New York in 1966 when he hit upon a wonderful idea—broadcast a couple hours of a Yule log burning on his TV channel for the benefit of fireplace-bereft New Yorkers. The idea turned out to be a smash and quickly spread to other TV stations in other cities across the country.
But even if you can't find a TV station in your area with its own televised Yule log offering, that doesn't mean you can't nudge Fred M. Thrower's great leap forward into the Digital Age. With just an Apple TV and—if you prefer—an iOS device, you can have a 21st Century Yule log roaring away on your TV screen any time you want.
The YouTube option
The easiest way to get a holiday fire roaring via your Apple TV is to use that device's built-in YouTube channel. Navigate down to the YouTube icon on the Apple TV's main screen, user your remote (be it the included Apple Remote or the Remote app on your iOS device) to select that channel, and use the search menu to track down one of the multitude of Yule log videos available on the Google-owned video-streaming service.
But which video to select? To save you the time and trouble of fumbling through your own YouTube searches, here are the most promising Yule log videos we've come across, listed by title to help speed up your Apple TV-based searching.
- Beautiful Wood-burning Fireplace Yule Log Video: Beautiful it is, and the crackling sound effects add a nice touch. But at 20 minutes long, it's among the shortest Yule log videos on our list.
- The Best Fireplace Video: Best? Maybe, maybe not. But at 3 hours, 9 minutes, and 7 seconds, it's certainly long enough to outlast any of your holiday celebrations.
- 2 Hour Logs Burning in Fireplace!: Yeah, more like 1 hour and 49 minutes, pal.
- WPIX The Original Yule Log: It's only 10 minutes long, but this is likely the YouTube video Fred M. Thrower would have wanted you to watch.
- Christmas Candles Burning!: From the makers of 1 Hour Christmas Fireplace (in HD), it's a video that eschews the normal crackling Yule log fire for three candles burning for a little more than 120 minutes.
The problem with these videos: The virtual fire may go out long before you're ready to stop celebrating the holiday, and there's no way way to loop YouTube video on your Apple TV. (You have to restart the video manually, which will reduce your holiday cheer factor by at least 10 percent.) And you only can stream from a single source on your Apple TV, meaning that you can't play music on the device if it's already streaming a YouTube video. (There's more than one way to fill your home with holiday music, however.)
The solution to a too-short Yule log video? Take a page out of my colleague Christopher Breen's book and download the YouTube video using Safari or Firefox; from there, you could import the movie into iTunes and then loop it—so long as you're playing it from your Mac. (The Videos app on your iOS device doesn't support looping.)
Apps and AirPlay
If relying on the vagaries of YouTube doesn't sound like a great plan for spreading holiday cheer, you can always turn to a third-party app that delivers a crackling fire to your iOS device. Through the magic of AirPlay—the streaming technology that lets you wirelessly stream audio and video from your iOS device to your high-definition TV—you can deliver that fire, Prometheus-like, to the big screen.
The iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, fifth-generation iPod touch, and any iPad other than the original version all support AirPlay Mirroring, meaning you can use your TV to show exactly what's on your iOS device. (Note that third-party app makers can disable this feature.) But other apps support using AirPlay to send video and/or audio content to an external speaker or Apple TV, as long as you're using any device running iOS 4.3 or later.
Of the dozen or so fireplace simulators in the iOS App Store, I'm going to concentrate on the ones that specifically support AirPlay. And of that bunch, I'd recommend A Very Cozy Fireplace HD. While it seemingly only supports an hour's worth of fire, it also gives you the option to have musical accompaniment, including Playlists from your device's Music library. (Though not these songs. Not ever.) Compatible with either the iPhone or the iPad, the $1 Cozy Fireplace HD includes a nice sleep timer for those of you who want to fall asleep to the sounds of a crackling fireplace without the dangers of unattended flame.
Another AirPlay-friendly app option is Fireplace HD+, also $1 and also compatibile with both the iPhone and iPad. The app offers four themes, though two of them veer toward the cheesy. And the videos here are just 30 minutes long. You do get a sleep timer as well as a choice of seasonal audio and a selection of radio channels.
A Very She & Him Christmas: Yule Log was released in support of a year-old holiday album. But fans of Zooey Deschanel may appreciate an app that combines a Yule log with her musical efforts. (Your correspondent confesses that he finds Ms. Deschanel's appeal elusive.) The app is free, though it comes with only one track from Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward; if you want the whole album, you'll have to buy it from within the app. But if the music appeals to you, you're able to stream the whole thing along with a festive fiery Yule log via AirPlay.

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 3 Crew Top - Women's:
I purchased this item at the beginning of our winter season and I have barely taken it off. It's kind of embarrassing actually.
It's just that it is good in so many situations, it's hard to find a reason to wear something else. I hike - A LOT, so this is my go-to baselayer for winter hiking. It is also my go-to baselayer for skiing, snowshoeing, morning walks and everything else I do. All I need is this, a fleece layer and a light shell and I can do any kind of activity in the cold outdoors I want. Okay, sometimes I stick a vest in my pack, you know, just in case.

I bought this shirt for a three day hike of the Inka trail in Peru where it gets very cold at night. I was so warm that a couple of the nights I had to unzip my sleeping bag. I also wear this shirt under my scrubs to work and it is so comfy and warm. Not only is this shirt very functional, it is also flattering. I can not say enough good things about it!

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- TheĀ Board of Education's Policy Committee has recommended middle school students in the Kingston district once again be allowed to carry backpacks during the school day.
Board member Maureen Bowers said new student handbooks are being printed with the assumptionĀ there will be no objections to the change but that the new policy will not be formalized for a few months, when the district's entire Code of Conduct is updated.
Currently, the Code of Conduct and dress code each prohibit backpacks to be carried in the halls of the middle schools during the school day.
Bowers, who chairs the Policy Committee, said the principals of J. Watson Bailey and M. Clifford Miller middle schools, which serves grades six through eight, have agreed to the recommended change.
The school board banned backpack use during the school day in 2005 amid concerns about students concealing drugs and weapons, as well as worries about backpacks left on classroom floors being tripping hazards. Trustees dropped the ban for Kingston High School in 2008 amid concerns about students having to carry too many books and being late for class because of the need to make trips to the their lockers, but the middle school ban stayed in effect.
Bowers said the board has not heard complaints about backpacks at the high school since the prohibition was lifted, and she noted there are ways to conceal forbidden items without carrying a backpack.
"We need to be vigilant in other ways," Bowers said, listing character education programs among ways to keep objectionable items out of the schools.
Bowers also said school officials have concerns about students overloading their backpacks, causing back problems, and that the youngsters should be taught better organizational skills as part of the ban being lifted.

Week 9 |
THE BOYS (aka Donny Lutz and Ralph DiLena Jr. of Boca Grande Real Estate) wants, very much, to win this pig picking poll. One year they tied at the top, but they want it all to themselves this time and they are going to fight hard to keep at the top.
Congrats to EGG MARK MUFFIN (Mark Caron), our BG FIREMEN, and some guy named DANIEL for getting 11-2 this week, and 13 at 10-3.
The bye week has the three cats, Panthers, Lions and Jaguars licking their wounds and the Vikings resting up for the Packers on MNF on the 14th.
This week the favorites are all the teams but one: the Chiefs, Saints, Falcons, Texans, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys, Raiders, Pats, Cardinals, Packers, Steelers and the Eagles. The close game is the Titans vs. the Bengals.
Games of the week could be the Jets in Buffalo, Bengals in Nashville, the Niners go to Washington, the G-men in Foxborough, and two night games in Pennsylvania country.
Speaking of Pennsylvania, the Ravens are in Steel City for some yellow and black revenge and the Bears in Philly (back-to-back night games for QB Vick and his team).

hey sorry for this very generic post.. I am new to Home-builds and need the help Here are my suggested components (i am looking to overclock once i learn more about it) and i would like to go for a second g-card down the line
cpu i7 3770k ( mobo Maximus v formula (i like the on board audio but i am still open to suggestion) SSD 128GB OCZ Vertex 4 HDD 3000GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 BR LG Electronics Blu-ray Super Multi LG BH10LS38 Lightscribe G-card (MSI N670GTX-PE2GD5/OC) One for now and will definatly sli later ( taken into acout for the power supply) Ram 16 G 1600 (any suggestions do i need other ram to overclock) ? PSU ? ( value for money) Cpu cooler for OC ?? ( suggestions value for money)
Cases : so far ive gotten a little stuck, initially the mobo seem to be too big however its not a full Eatx and has the following dimensions 12 inch x 10.1 inch ( 30.5 cm x 25.7 cm ) so some people said it can fit in some atx case but im not sure which ones?
Basically i am not fussed when in comes to aesthetics of the system so i dont give crap about matching colours however my goals are to have SLI (in the near future, to learn to overclock cpu and so on, windows 8 ready and good audio.. I am not stuborn and would like suggestion on any system change. if you dont think its worth it let me know. ohh and anything that makes oc safer or easier let me know..i will also be doing some fluid dynamic simulations,i would aslo like to use a 5.1 surround sound system,Do i need to have a sound card or can i use onboard audio (not to fancy)?
This board has a decent rating in germany Gigabyte GA-Z77X UD4TH
thanking you in advance

The first thing to clarify is whether you NEED i7 & 16GB RAM, over i5 & 8GB of RAM. For gaming, it gains you nothing. For stuff like high-end photo/video editing or 3D CAD, it's worthwhile; not for much else. Then do you have an interest in overclocking, itself, or just for the performance gain, it gives you. If the later, use something like Asus P8Z77-V Pro, or possibly ASRock Z77 Extreme4, for mobo and mid-tower case. If the former, then go with something, like the Maximus, but recommend you get full-tower with it. If you only want modest overclocking, something like CoolerMaster Hyper 212Evo, is ideal low cost cooler. If you want to get a bit more "drastic" with OC, then a liquid cooler, like Corsair H100 is worth considering.

Yes. That's not an issue, I wouldn't, however, be in a rush to get Windows 8. I've not tried it, but have been told it's rubbish, so I will certainly wait a while, before deciding to "jump in".
