Worked very well for my project. I used four straps on my "butcher block" make over. since it the had a rust finish, I rubbed it off and used verdigris then varnished it. Also, I used your decorative tacks instead of screws . Many compliments on my whimsical kitchen block.
I'm very pleased with the trunk straps. I have a trunk that is over a hundred years old and these straps look like they were part of the original trunk. I also used these in the past for a garden box. It gave it a country look.
i liked that it was thin because i was able to straighten it and then shape it to the round treasure chest that i built for my son. just a little touch up paint and it was mint.. very happy
Price was good, metal was thin.

Apple Offers Huge Prizes For Video Game Ports
Zonk posted more than 9 years ago | from the more-than-just-minesweeper dept.81
Oculus Habent writes "In an attempt to increase Apple's market share in the home sector, Steve Jobs announced today that he would personally fund prizes for ports of popular gaming titles to the Macintosh platform. Citing the common complaint of lack of game availability for Mac OS X, Jobs suggests that work in this area could seriously improve Macintosh acceptance. Said Jobs, "We've got incredible, stylish computers and an insanely great operating system. The Mac mini made has a huge impact, but it is only the tip of the iceberg." Prizes include Steve's yearly salary for the first ten ports, and twice that amount for "hot new titles" with a simultaneous release." Update: 04/02 18:02 GMT by Z : April 1st hoax story.

March 31st - Happy Birthday, Sakamoto Maaya!!
Our {FIRST} featuring Suzumura Kenichi and Sakamoto Maaya.
for zefanya15, I was doing Suzumura Kenichi when your messages come! And one fact turn into four… (still have more, but maybe another time,kay :D )
*and the article was around 2-3 years ago, so 'recently' in Suzuken habit doesn't mean the 'now' recently, kay.
NB: your English is okay :D nothing to worry about ^^/
My new sounds:
"I can't go any further."
Original animation layouts from the Hayao Miyazaki film The Wind Rises (風立ちぬ).
Welcome home. In your memories
When you want to cry, when you want to meet, I'm right by your side.
Welcome home. Notice it.
To live is to forget, so the present is always sparkling the most.
thank you for your angel voice.
thank you for your gracefulness.
thank you for your warm songs.
thank you for your inspirational lyrics.
thank you for coloring my life.
thank you for becoming my role model.
thank you for sharing your dreams to us through your music.
…so this is why Hirakawa-san tweeted he is now a freelance seiyuu
sorry for just replying but thank youuu so much >w< gosh busy with being an adult ahahaha It's so sad that now I barely have time for the boys TAT
congrats on landing your job!! seems tough, but good luck! you can do it! >n< i'm gonna miss you while you're busy being an adult!!
Hello everyone! How are you?
After 8 months of
procrastinating being a jobless, I finally land my first job in a digital advertising agency.
Advertising is a dynamic world, keep revolving in a fast pace and yeah, I also no exception. Soon I discover that I have to handle 3 clients (maybe will increase to 4 or 5 later) in my first week. I'm still soo blind with this industry and I have to survive somehow XD
This makes me unable to barely have time to fangirl. I miss strolling tumblr and squealing and giggling but even sometimes I have to work on weekend ;;; Also I see that there are good response for the 'Ageless Seiyuu' ppt I have an idea to make it something like 'Guess the Seiyuu Age Based on the Pictures' however let's just hope I have time to do it XD
Thanks for reading and have an awesome weekend! ;)
「OmotenaShimo! Vol. 1 - Guest: Hirakawa Daisuke」
In which we get to see Hirarin being cheeky and teasing Hirotan before Hirotan snapped and used informal speech unintentionally. He then tried to deny that he didn't say anything like that. XD;;
…………. I can't. I just can't with these seiyuus. HEAVEN FORBID INFORMAL SPEECH. WHY ARE THEY SO ADORABLE THAT SOMETHING SO MINOR LIKE THIS (since they're practically a family IMHO) CAUSES SUSPICION AND dramatic SHOCK….. seiyuus are too cute omfg
Ricchan Reacting to Drama CD: Message 4 U Vol 1: Happy Birthday to U with Ishida Akira & Shimono Hiro
So cute so cuteeeee the voice Shimono uses here reminds me of a slightly sweeter ver of his role in Log Horizon, Soujirou. And Ishida-sama also did a great job voicing his tsundere character, especially when Shimono's chara starting to get deredere with the MC and Ishida-sama began to bark to his junior (Shimono's chara) XDDD After listening to this series, maybe you will experience cavities bcs of the cute moments.
Script is good, simple but cute. The three of you are on a journey to collect the message that form a birthday card from your friend. Memorable scene for me is when they were on a hospital and Ishida-sama's character went all 'I don't like hospital!!' then his junior said 'senpai you don't like hospital what?' lol which he responded by 'all people don't like hospital!! right right!?' Ishida-sama is the master of emotional-full voice but don't look down on Shimono as well because he's just soooo adorable!! I want him as younger brother XDD
In conclusion, this CD is good, sweet, easy listening without many difficult words and sentences, great for beginner JP language learners (like me lol). Will be better if you listen to this on your birthday, as it may feel like your real present from Ishida-sama and Shimono :D

"Predicting Risky Drinking Outcomes Longitudinally: What Kind of Advance Notice Can We Get?" Alcoholism - Clinical and Experimental Research, 30(20): 243-252.
This paper summarizes the proceedings ora symposium presented at the 2005 Research Society on Alcoholism meeting in Santa Barbara, California, that spans the interval from toddlerhood to early middle adulthood and addresses questions about how Far ahead developmentally we can anticipate alcohol problems and related substance use disorder and how such work informs our understanding of the Causes and course of alcohol problems and alcohol use disorder. The context of these questions both historically and developmentally is set by Robert Zucker in an introductory section. Next, Maria Wong and colleagues describe the developmental trajectories of behavioral and affective control front preschool to early adolescence in a high risk for alcoholism longitudinal study and demonstrate their ability to predict alcohol drug outcomes in adolescence. Duncan Clark and Jack Cornelius follow with a report on the predicitive utility of parental disruptive behavior disorders in predicting onset of alcohol problems in their adolescent offspring in late adolescence. Next, Kenneth Leonard and Gregory Homish report on adult development study findings relating baseline individual, spouse, and peer network drinking indicators at marriage onset that distinguish different patterns of stability and change in alcohol problems over the first 2 years of marriage. In the final paper, John Schulenberg and colleagues, utilizing national panel data from the Monitoring the Future Study, which cover the 18- to 35-year age span, show how trajectories of alcohol use in early adulthood predict differential alcohol abuse and dependence Outcomes at age 35. Finally, Robert Zucker examines the degree to which the Core symposium questions are answered and comments on next step research and clinical practice changes that are called for by these findings.

[going ooc, guys.
I am all for inspirational photos about the majesty of the universe we live in, but only when they actually made sense. Does anyone but me realize how completely unrelated and out-of-context those facts are? Some of them aren't even facts! What point was the author even trying to make? "don't judge people"? Okay, because…why, exactly?
Okay, so we start out with a comment about how limited our perceptions are. This is true, because perceiving any more of the EM spectrum wouldn't help us survive, and hearing the vibrations of a mouse scurrying underground a mile away would make talking to the guy sitting next to you real hard. But you know, I get this point. We can only perceive so much, so that means there are greater mysteries in the world. Point taken.
Wtf does moving through the galaxy have to do with anything. Okay moving on…
90% of the cells in your body carry their own microbial DNA and are not "you." THIS is what I have a problem with. I'm assuming the author is referring to the mitochondrial DNA, first off. Calling it microbial is based on the endosymbiotic theory, in which case considering it microbial at this stage is a bit of a stretch, seeing as how that dna can be found in your mother, in your mother's mother, and in your mother's mother's mother. It wasn't located in a bacterium since we stopped being unicellular organisms. I don't think there are any metaphysical mysteries located in your mitochondria. They produce ATP. :/
Also, about the number of chromosomes…plants are generally triploid. They've been bred that way to yield larger harvests. Outside of being a plant, having three sets of chromosome is generally very harmful. Google Down's Syndrome. Seriously. The number of chromosome in an organism means absolutely nothing as to how evolved it is or how many metaphysical mysteries there are in the universe.
Also, THE EXISTENCE OF THE RAINBOW IS NOT DECIDED BY YOUR EYEBALLS. HOLY SHIT WHAT. YOU DO NOT MAKE THINGS BY SEEING THEM. Animals with no conical receptors do not perceive the rainbow. This does not mean it is not there. A rainbow is created by light refraction, you can perceive it because of your advanced retinas. That is all. There is no creating there. There is no amazing revelations to be had in that knowledge.
I encourage people to dredge up interesting facts and spread them about tumblr to be inspirational. But please use good facts. :I And phrase them correctly.]

ButterfliesThe butterfly checklist below is current as of May 30, 2003 with 3 newly discovered species listed as nos. 40-42. Several species have been identified as new county records for Kleberg and Kenedy counties. Except as noted, each of the following butterfly species has been field identified and the park's Resource Management division has a male and female of each species in its collection. Because field identification is sometimes difficult, a second source is verifying the identity of each species. Once the park's butterfly study has been completed, a digital field guide of Padre Island butterflies will be available to the public. Note that the name of the park's most common Buckeye (J. evarete) has been changed from Mangrove Buckeye (genoveva) to Tropical Buckeye (evarete) due to recent corrections in the taxonomic literature.
Two moths that are not listed above, but which have been found in the park are (follow the links to photos of each):
salt marsh moth - Estigmene acrea
white-tipped black moth - Melanchroia chephise

In the blink of an eye, March Madness is slowly reaching its end. It's been a wild tournament with two teams, arguably three, no one saw coming.
The last four teams will play for a spot in the National Title game Saturday, and the big one, the final two, will take place a week from today.
So with that said, here are few random factoids, pertaining to this year's field, you can "impress" your buddies with at the bar for a few seconds before the next random topic becomes discussed:
- This is the first time all four teams are from flagship schools. Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, and Wisconsin. This is the first time since 2002 this has happened.
- Kentucky is the first eight seed since the 2011 Butler Bulldogs to reach the Final Four. Butler was the National Runner-Up that season.
- This is only the second time a seven seed has made it to the Final Four. The last time it happened was 1984 when the Virginia Cavaliers made it, but were knocked out by the Houston Cougars in the semifinal round.
- The last time the SEC put two schools in the Final Four was 2006. LSU made it to the Final Four, while the Florida Gators won the title that season.
- They actually had a third place game from 1946 to 1980.
- This guy got a tattoo before the tournament even started. He may or may not be the single most dumbest and smartest man in the country.
People are gonna hate, but I still got faith @TrillGeta15 @AaronICE2 @DrewRoc5 @AlexTheGreat22 @J30_RANDLE #BBN pic.twitter.com/VveZzlDQhJ
— Tyler (@Tizzblack) March 13, 2014
- The last Big Ten team to win the National Title was Michigan State in 2000. At least one Big Ten school has made it to the Final Four 10 out of the last 15 seasons and have made four of the last five.
- Connecticut and Kentucky are the lowest seeded teams in the Final Four, yet are the most recent (2011, 2012) to win a National Title.
- This is Wisconsin's third Final Four appearance. The first came in 1941 and the second in 2000.
- If you add up the seeds from this year's field and last year's, you get 18 both times.
- Three Nike schools make up four of the teams—Kentucky, Connecticut, and Florida. This bodes well for our eyes, because Adidas will only have Wisconsin to torture us with special Final Four jerseys, if they go that direction.
Enjoy the rest of the games!

"After a thousand watercolors you will find you have fallen in love with paper and paint." Rex Brandt
Art Lessons
Mixing palettes are surfaces for preparing and mixing paints. They come in a wide variety of materials, shapes, and sizes. The palette you choose depends on your medium and personal preferences. Below are the most readily available palettes for painters.
It is always a treat to look through the vintage Walter T. Foster archives, and this use of color and texture has us feeling inspired to try a few different techniques for creating pattern and depth in our paintings.
Art Bites
Earlier this week we posted about the benefits of using underpainting as a base for oil painting. Now we want to talk about the next step: using underpainting as your guide.
Art Lessons
The palette is one of the keys that unlocks an artist's individual style. Famous artists throughout history are recognizable by their color choices and combinations. Your palette can be influenced by mood, season, lighting, and any number of factors. Your personal style is yours to determine.

October 14, 2014 BY: Thanassis Cambanis TOPICS: Foreign Policy, Responding to Upheaval in the Arab World
TCF fellow, Thanassis Cambanis has been mentioned in an article about ISIS on The Boston Globe.
I can't watch the videos of the Islamic State beheading people. Perhaps I should, because if the purpose of documentary film is to record reality, these epitomize the genre. They show, unfiltered, the reality of human evil.
They also advertise their cause to anyone who might watch such atrocities and find them appealing. Or so suggest many propaganda experts and analysts.
Instead of putting a positive spin on their barbarism, as did Leni Riefenstahl with "Triumph of the Will" (1935) for the Nazis, these spots work as recruiting tools targeting whatever demographic might enjoy medieval acts of savagery. It's as if the Third Reich had somehow accessed "Night and Fog," Alain Resnais's 1955 soul-blasting documentary about the Holocaust, and used it to attract followers.

October 14, 2014 BY: Michael Wahid Hanna TOPICS: Foreign Policy, Responding to Upheaval in the Arab World
TCF fellow, Michael Wahid Hanna has been quoted in a Stars and Stripes article about ISIS.
Three years ago, Egyptian preacher AbdelMoneim el-Shahat was taking aim at icons of pre-Islamic and secular Egypt, from pharaonic statues, to the country's most celebrated novelist.
Now, el-Shahat, from the ultraconservative Salafist school of Islam, says he's directing his criticism at Islamic State and its ideology in articles and talks — part of a regional push to undercut the group's religious message that has engaged a wide array of scholars.

TCF senior fellow, Michael Wahid Hanna has been quoted in a Bloomberg View article about the ideology behind the Islamic State.
The U.S. and its Arab allies have vowed to fight a war of ideas alongside their military campaign against Islamic State, whose recruiting videos mix battle scenes with citations from the Muslim holy book. Opponents seeking to engage on the theological front, though, start with a handicap: They're often viewed with hostility by exactly the people -- potential sympathizers with the militants -- that they're trying to reach.
"It is very difficult for governments to work at the level of ideology," said Michael Wahid Hanna, senior fellow at The Century Foundation. "Populations that are most vulnerable to radicalization essentially view the religious institutions used to push forward these claims as illegitimate themselves."

Jihadi hunters are civilians dedicated to tracking Islamic extremists online. Will they eventually be embraced by the intelligence community?

October 6, 2014 BY: Thanassis Cambanis TOPICS: Foreign Policy, Responding to Upheaval in the Arab World
TCF fellow, Thanassis Cambanis' piece on online Jihadi hunters has been featured on the Quartz weekend review.
Groups like the Islamic State are active on social media, and researchers and analysts are helping hunt them online independently of government agencies. Thanassis Cambanis at the Boston Globe examines the small, increasingly influential community scraping the web to track some of the world's most dangerous groups.

October 3, 2014 BY: Thanassis Cambanis TOPICS: Foreign Policy, Responding to Upheaval in the Arab World
TCF fellow, Thanassis Cambanis has written an article for the Boston Globe about a group of civilians who are tracking jihadi extremists online.
These gushers of highly useful information were not coming from inside a formal intelligence operation, or even from the Middle East. Instead, they were being run by ordinary American civilians out of their own homes. One was J.M. Berger, 47, a former journalist turned freelance social network analyst and extremism expert, who published scoop after scoop from his home office in Cambridge. The other was Aaron Zelin, a 26-year-old graduate student in Washington, D.C., who made his name with a blog called Jihadology. The two researchers had been mining the jihadi Internet for years, tracking it with a combination of old-school scholarship and new purpose-built apps.
Zelin and Berger are something new in the intelligence world: part of an emerging breed of online jihadi-hunters who have done pathbreaking work, often independently of government and big media outlets, on a shoestring budget. Numbering less than a dozen, they have earned their reputations over the past four years by being the first to report key developments later confirmed by mainstream research and reporting—such as the split between the Islamic State and Al Qaeda, the burst of jihadi recruitment in the West, and the entry of Hezbollah into the Syrian battle. The meteoric rise of ISIS has been a catalyzing moment for these analysts, pushing them into the spotlight as one of the most important sources of information and context.

Hillary's Assassination Politics
For weeks, pundits have speculated about why Hillary Clinton insists on remaining in the primary race when Barack Obama has all but clinched the Democratic presidential nomination. On Friday, Clinton answered that question. It appears she's waiting in the wings for something dreadful to befall Obama.
When asked by the editorial board of South Dakota's Sioux Falls Argus-Ledger why she is still running, Clinton replied, "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it."
It's astounding that a presidential candidate could verbalize such a thing when the collective American psyche still aches from the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. Many of us remember where we were when these heroes were shot. The pain we felt is palpable. We still suffer from their absence.
Clinton, evidently surprised at the ferocity of the reaction to her statement, made a half-baked non-apology a few hours later. She expressed regret that anything she said could have offended the Kennedy family. But she uttered not a word of repentance for her suggestion that Barack Obama's death could inure to her benefit.
The response to Clinton's invocation of the "A" word was swift and strong. The New York Times called it an "inexcusable outburst." Keith Olbermann characterized it as "crass and low and unfeeling and brutal." Noting that "the politics of this nation is steeped in blood," he admonished Clinton: "You cannot and must not invoke that imagery, anywhere, at any time."
Clinton's remarks offer a look into her character. In Olbermann's words, they "open a door wide into the soul of somebody who seeks the highest office in this country and through that door shows something not merely troubling but frightening."
Before Friday, a groundswell of support for an Obama-Clinton ticket appeared to be building. But as New York state Sen. Bill Perkins, an Obama supporter, said when he heard Clinton's comments, "My jaw just dropped — I think she just basically shattered her hopes of being named as vice president. To use the example of an assassination," Perkins added, "I think, leads one to believe that she may be talking about something unfortunate happening to Barack Obama. Couple that with the other remarks she made recently about winning the white vote and her husband's statements and I'd say something is seriously amiss."
How, after Clinton's ominous remarks, could Obama ever turn his back on her if she became his vice-president?
Anyone who "might be sticking around on the off-chance the other guy might get shot has no business being the president of the United States," Olbermann declared. As Newsweek's Howard Fineman noted, Clinton's is "a campaign that probably needs to be put out of its misery real soon."
Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, an uncommitted superdelegate, commented that Clinton's remarks were "beyond the pale." Indeed, the remaining uncommitted superdelegates should stop the bleeding now and allow us to move on with the election.

Middle name for Lyralei???
I love the name Lyralei but still can't find a middle name that I love.... Its pronounced lie-ruh-lay... I have always loved the name Lyra but I always felt something was missing... One day I came across the name Lorelei and Lyralei just kind of clicked in my head... Anyway it has stuck with me since then I just struggle with middle names... These are some middle names I have considered...
Lyralei Kerensa
Lyralei Juneaux
Lyralei Caoimhe

Lyralei is a a combination of two really great names. Though Lorelei is said lore-a-lie, not lore-a-lay.
Lyralei would be said Lie-ra-lie. For Lie-ra-lay it would be Lyralai, Lyralay, Lyralae, Liralae…
I also came up with a mashed name using Lyra, Lorelei and Aurelia. It didn't really work though; Lyrelia, Lorelia.
Celestine was a lovely suggestion.Mother to Ombeline Althea Aurelia Tindra Lucero Scholze

There's Advertising in Your Memories →
Ever have a product pop up in your memories? And you swear, absolutely swear that indeed, yes, you were drinking a Coke while listening to your iPod as you cruised down the California coast in your brand new Cooper Mini even though you don't own a Cooper Mini and don't drink Coke but just might have an iPod.
There's a reason for that. Scientists refer to this as "false experience effect" and it revolves around a theory known as memory reconsolidation in which it is suggested we reconstruct our memories each time we think them.
So how do the iPod, Coke and car fit into the mix?
Take it away, Wired:
A new study, published in The Journal of Consumer Research, helps explain both the success of this marketing strategy and my flawed nostalgia for Coke. It turns out that vivid commercials are incredibly good at tricking the hippocampus (a center of long-term memory in the brain) into believing that the scene we just watched on television actually happened. And it happened to us.
Takeaway: Remember Journalism 101 and don't just question mom when she alleges that she loves you. Question your memories. Especially the product placement bits.

The offensive line had a disastrous start for Iowa State last season. Inconsistent lineups and injuries plagued a unit that really only looked good against a handful of teams. The thought process heading into this season — it can't be that bad again, can it?
Iowa State's offense had their way against Kansas, West Virginia, and Tulsa. That's because the offensive line held up in all three of those games. It's also thanks to those teams being ranked 90th, 91st, and 97th nationally in rush defense last year.
In fairness, multiple bye weeks made Tom Farniok look the best he's had all season in the victory over the Golden Hurricanes. And the line increasingly got better as the season went on, and it showed with Grant Rohach becoming more comfortable under center.
Players to watch: Damn near all of them. Obviously, Farniok will be the anchor of the entire offensive line. Jacob Gannon will be the other senior starting with him at right tackle.
The greatest news about the offensive line is the experience. There's two juniors, Oni Omoile and Brock Dagel, starting on the left side of the ball. And the backups, Ben Loth, Jamison Lalk, and Jacob Dunning — we've all heard these names before. It's the second-most returning starters in the Big 12.
Newcomer to watch: Redshirt freshman Jake Campos. I remember looking at the 6-foot-7, 279-pound lineman on film, and he was an absolute beast. There's a reason teams like Iowa, Kansas State, and Oklahoma were looking at him, and he was at one point a four-star prospect according to Rivals. He was the top prospect coming out of Iowa and the 16th-best offensive tackle in the nation.
His athleticism and smarts really seals the deal. This multi-sport athlete received awards playing baseball, basketball, and in track events. He's also majoring in biological systems engineering. Godspeed, brother.
Projection: Unlike the defensive line and barring injury, this group could be the highlight of the team this season. That may come off bad, but that's actually promising. If Iowa State's offensive line establishes themselves and plays like they did in the three victories in 2013, it will be a hell of a lot more fun to watch everybody else on the offense.
Farniok is incredibly important, but it doesn't have to start and end with him. There's a lot of depth here, more so than with any other unit on the team. If the Cyclones are able to hit the magic number of six wins in 2014, it's because of two reasons — they took advantage of a weak November, and the offensive line was the best it's been under the Paul Rhoads era.

West Virginia Is Geothermically Active
Soulskill posted about 4 years ago | from the time-to-sell-some-volcano-insurance dept.239
sciencehabit writes "Researchers have uncovered the largest geothermal hot spot in the eastern United States. According to a unique collaboration between Google and academic geologists, West Virginia sits atop several hot patches of Earth, some as warm as 200C and as shallow as 5 kilometers. If engineers are able to tap the heat, the state could become a producer of green energy for the region."

Emily Badger is a writer in the Washington, D.C., area, where she covers urban planning and affairs for The Atlantic Cities. She has written on many topics that have little to do with each other: cul-de-sacs, roadside rest area culture, soft-spoken senators and flying drones. She loves stories that get her behind the scenes at museums, and she particularly appreciates that when really bad things happen to her, it gives her something to write about. Primarily, though, she's interested in cities, public policy and strange ideas, and she's written about them for a wide variety of print and web outlets.
Emily grew up in and loves Chicago, which is why she has plastered her website with an image of that city, even though she no longer lives there. She has also lived for various stretches in Portland, Cleveland, Orlando, Tallahassee, Paris, Norfolk and Atlanta. So far, she has been sitting still in the D.C. area for three full years – a personal adult record – mostly because that is how long it takes to work very slowly on a Master's degree.
For someone who spends a lot of time writing about cities, Emily tries to get as far away from them as possible when she's not working. She loves to camp and hike and has, on the rare occasion, found an excuse to write about that, too.

Gaming laptops aren't something that people would normally pick up like they select normal laptops. You have to keep many things in mind, such as the display size, battery backup, heat issues, price, warranty, build and lots and lots more. The reason being, gaming laptops are pricey, like real pricey. Take for example the Alienware series of gaming laptops, you can use the same money for the laptop and buy yourself an used car.
Samsung recently announced their new gaming laptop, the RF712, which is a 17-inch 3D powerhouse for high-end gaming and entertainment. The name given to this laptop sounds similar to that of a fighter jet. The best thing about this laptop is it's 3D Display, which renders all the latest 3D movies in near perfect quality. Of course, these aren't glasses free 3D, so you will need to use the Active glasses that Samsung provides with the laptop. You can connect up to 4 glasses via Bluetooth and watch those 3D movies along with your friends. The design is stunning too, with a metal finish for keyboard surface and a overall sturdy body the RF712 looks like it means business.
The only thing that is bad, or well heavy with this laptop is the weight and its mere size. The Samsung RF712 is not portable!!
The Samsung RF712 is crazy, heavily packed with latest Intel processor and ATI Radeon graphics, DDR3 RAM, 3D Display and much more. Below are the complete specifications for the RF712:
- A 17 inch Full HD 3D Display with 400cdm brightness
- Intel Second Generation Quad Core Processor
- 2GB of AMD HD6650M Graphics
- 750GB hard drive and an additional HDD drive for expansion up to 1.5 TB
- USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and much more.
Watch the complete hands-on review of the Samsung RF712 after the break to understand all the features.
The Samsung RF712 has already been launched in South Korea, and will soon be available in other countries for a hefty price tag of $2,500. We will update you as soon as this Laptop is available in other countries, I bet gamers would love to own this.
What do you think of the RF712? Will it be an Alienware alternative?

If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere.
|Vincent Van Gogh (via 1880s)
"To win without fighting is the ultimate plan." - Zhuge Liang
"There is no such thing as someone who is disrespectful to his parents yet faithful to his master. If someone is so immature as to be remiss in familial care for his parents, who are the origin of his own body, there is no way he can be moved by the kindness of a master, who is not his flesh and blood, to be completely loyal." - Taira Shigesuke
so now that Chris Evans has twitter is he just going to tweet about his daily life?
"just helped a little old lady cross the street"
"just played catch with an orphan"
"just saved a cat from a burning building"
"the cat didnt make it but I smiled and it came back to life"
"then i helped clean up the debris from the burning building"

Adherence in Internet-based interventions
Authors Silje C Wangberg, Trine S Bergmo, Jan-Are K Johnsen
Published Date March 2008 Volume 2008:2 Pages 57—65

Background: The Internet is a promising channel for delivering health-promoting interventions. A common problem for Internet-based interventions is low adherence. The current paper reports adherence rates from three different Internet-based trials with potential covariates.
Methods: Data on adherence and baseline characteristics of users were collected from three different Internet-based trials: one supporting diabetes self-management, one supporting smoking cessation, and one offering an online personal health record. Logging of web use was used as the measure of adherence in two of the trials, while logging of authentication SMS messages was used in the third.
Results: In all three trials, users dropped out at a high rate early in the intervention. The baseline variables that were related to use were self-efficacy, having smoking friends, age, gender, and education. Tailored emails increased use for up to five months into a one-year intervention.
Conclusion: Dropout from Internet-based trials is substantial, and attrition curves can be a valuable tool for more accurate pretrial estimates of sample size power. Automated follow-up of users via email seems likely to increase adherence and should be included in Internet-based interventions. Tailoring on baseline covariates to adherence such as self-efficacy could make them even more effective.
Keywords: Internet-based interventions, adherence, attrition, tailoring, self-efficacy

despite the imperfections, i'm liking him a lot.
Potential was there, but this was a bit of a weak performance. He was too pitchy at times for my taste....that falsetto at the end was a mistake.
I don't know why I generally like this kid ...but this was kind of gagging, in a bad way. I guess he was really nervous.
ouch,, this could have been so much better if he had started on key and kept staying on key , he was all over the place , he was so much better singing wonderful world
I like that he sings the "ooohhh ooohhh" by himself (as opposed to back up singers). But his vibrato is distracting and his flourishes lacking power. Borderlining karaoke.

Nila is an assistant nurse in Nebaj and begins her work day with a visit to children who have not yet been vaccinated. Even though these children live in remote locations, thank to her work they will be protected with all their vaccines. Nila keeps detailed records of newborn children and checks the health status of new mothers who have just given birth at home. During her door-to-door visits, Nila also keeps records of all the health services she provides.
Thanks to the high commitment of Nila and the health personnel, it was possible to implement the Project Optimize in the Ixil region of Guatemala. Some objectives of the project are to establish an information platform that benefits the health system, improve data quality, and achieve more efficient management of the supply of vaccines and supplies, among others.
Guatemala has achieved vaccination coverage from 92% to 94% with the different vaccines available through the service network of the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance.
Optimize is a five-year project (2008-1012), which helped to establish the basis of the information systems of the Expanded Program on Immunization in five countries: Tunisia, Senegal, Albania, Vietnam and Guatemala.

Texas Longhorns adjusting to tougher, faster practices – Burnt Orange Nation
The talk of Charlie Strong "changing the culture" at Texas is probably a bit overblown. However, hard, tenacious practices are a realistic change that Strong seems willing to put his players through. Many coaches have tried this practice. While it often manifests in a tired team late in the season, it does build structure and fundamental play that carries into future seasons.
Women's Basketball handles Penn, 79-61 – Texas Sports

Painless Performance has always been about simplifying wiring, one aspect of car building that frustrates and confuses a lot of enthusiasts. Their new, color illustrated manuals ship with their chassis wiring harnesses and include instructions for different alternators and gauges. Each of their new manuals for 2nd-gen Camaro, Jeep CJ, and Nostalgia all-black harness includes 100-150+ pages of step-by-step instructions for everything from the correct crimping technique and finding a good ground to year-by-year changes customers might encounter on their car's factory wiring.

Sen. Rand Paul wants a constitutional amendment to apply Obamacare to everyone, including federal employees and Supreme Court justices.
Federal employees found out that their health insurance premiums were going up an average of 3.4 percent for fiscal year 2014. That may seem like bad news, but if one lawmaker has his way, annual single-digit premium increases under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan might be fondly remembered as the good old days.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced plans to propose a constitutional amendment that would, among other things, require federal employees to purchase health insurance on exchanges created by the 2010 health care law. Details of the proposal were not available, but it appears that it would eliminate a raft of benefits enjoyed by feds, including the subsidy that helps pay about 72 percent of federal employees' insurance premiums.
Paul singled out for special mention Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who wrote the 2012 opinion in NFIB v. Sebelius that upheld the law.
"My amendment says basically that everybody, including Justice Roberts -- who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare -- gets it too," Paul told the Daily Caller, a conservative news website. "See, right now, Justice Roberts is still continuing to have federal employee health insurance subsidized by the taxpayer. And if he likes Obamacare so much, I'm going to give him an amendment that gives Obamacare to Justice Roberts."
Paul's proposal comes more than a month after the Office of Personnel Management announced that members of Congress and their staffs, who are required to buy health insurances via exchanges under a provision of the law, will obtain premium support from their employers -- the government. Private employers are specifically barred by the law from providing any such subsidy. The OPM provided the special exemption after fears that the elimination of premium support would create a wave of resignations among congressional staffers.

I have no problem with a properly drafted general amendment that bars special waivers to laws for government workers, government contractors, not-for-profit entities, or receipents of federal, state or local public funds. It should also hopefully bar the raft of special interest waivers such as to unions and political organizations and influence groups. This same amendment could force sunset rules of say 24 months on any special incentive provision built into federal laws to stop the gravy train out to politicos and lobbyist groups from every niche and cranny of our corporate and domestic society.
My health care insurance through my employer will go up next year by 28 percent. A single digit increase in my cost would be something to cheer about indeed.
Proposing a constitutional amendment is obviously grand standing on the part of Sen. Paul. I am federal employee and the prospect of being forced into an ACA exchange scares the hell out of me. However, it makes perfect sense, insofar as anything about ACA makes sense, that ALL federal employees for the executive, judicial and legislative branches should be rolled into ACA coverage. Mandating a program for the entire population of the U.S. and then cherry picking favored segments of the population through make-em-up-as-you-go exemptions is hypocritical and unfair. It undermines respect for the law and for public service. If the ACA is not good enough for us, it sure as hell isnt good enough for the people we serve.

Originally written on Down and Distance | Last updated 10/24/14
After leading Florida State in sacks over the last two seasons, defensive end Brandon Jenkins was expecting a tremendous season. Instead, he will miss the entire season with a foot injury suffered Saturday (Credit: AP Photo) According to ESPN, Florida State defensive end Brandon Jenkins will miss the rest of the 2012 season with a foot injury. Jenkins left Saturday's game in the first half after a teammate stepped on his left foot. Trainers worked with Jenkins on the sideline, and he was able to walk to the locker room under his own power. After the game, coach Jimbo Fisher said the foot was swollen and bruised, but X-rays had come back negative. Fisher said Monday the team was planning an MRI, which apparently revealed further damage. Jenkins was a preseason All-ACC selection and on the watch lists for the Bednarik, Camp and Nagurski awards after leading the Seminoles in sacks each of the past two seasons. He nearly left FSU after the 2011 season to enter the NFL draft, where he was widely projected as a potential first-round pick. Jenkins recorded his first sack of the season in the first quarter against Murray State, moving him to within just 2½ sacks of third place all-time in school history.
