A Lesson in Self-Care
A few weeks ago, I attended my four-year old niece's first dance recital. Excitement was in the air as the little ones filed onto the stage and faced the crowd in the packed auditorium. There were tutus and leotards aplenty, and enough tulle to fill the entire auditorium. They danced – all cute and awkward as four year olds do - took their bows, and exited the stage.
There were about 25 routines in the program. Most were very tasteful and the songs age-appropriate for the dancers. But occasionally, a group of pre-teen girls would be brought out on stage in outfits that left little to the imagination and dance to songs with lyrics that made me cringe. I couldn't help thinking about the sexualization and objectification of our girls at such a young age. My mind quickly turned to the men in the audience, and I started wondering how many of them were perhaps looking at these young girls in a sexual way. Looking back to the stage as another group of young girls were brought out, the "1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused by the age of 18" statistic popped into my head. And so began the downward spiral. Talk about vicarious trauma! I guess I had been under the false assumption that vicarious trauma couldn't happen to me because I no longer do direct service work. But this experience made it perfectly clear that is not the case.
I wanted to process my thoughts. When a family member remarked how wonderful the show was (and 98% of it was), I had to throw in my two cents about the inappropriateness of some of the dance routines, costumes, etc. Wow. Talk about a moment where I was lacking a filter for my thoughts. I did a good job of alienating those in my company.
Yes, my prevention-oriented brain kicked in in an appropriate way (thinking about how we objectify and sexualize our young girls); but my thoughts quickly snowballed into vicarious trauma overload (thinking about how many of the young girls were experiencing violence or how many of the audience members were perpetrators). It was a clear signal to me that I needed to take a breath and step back. And I was reminded about how important it is to stay grounded when doing prevention work, practice self-care, and not get knocked down by that snowball. There is a time and place to have those discussions and fight that good fight. Being there that day and supporting my young niece as she bravely displayed her newfound dancing talent was what it was all about. Yes, we need to see situations like this as opportunities to challenge unhealthy social norms. But sometimes we also have to see it for what it is – a sweet, four-year olds first dance recital.
The NSVRC has a great resource on vicarious trauma. I hope you'll check it out. Feel free to share how you practice self-care when doing prevention work by leaving a comment below.
For me, self-care endeavors are often hands-on. When I'm fully into an activity like cooking, baking or stretching - well, I have to be present. In those moments, I get a nice break from thinking about work and watching the "snowball" grow. :)
Good point, Laura! And thanks for sharing!

"Before being ashamed of our simian ancestry we ought to study the lower races of men. We should then find that the degrees of differences, mental and physical, between the highest apes and the lowest men are by no means very great. 'Some animals have more intelligence than some men,' writes Dr. Hornaday, 'and some have better morals. I would rather descend from a clean, capable and bright minded genus of apes than from any unclean, ignorant, and repulsive race of genus Homo… There are millions of members of the human race who are more loathsome and repulsive than wild apes.' "
From UK Surgeon Rear Admiral C. M. Beadnell, 1948 A Picture Book of Evolution, p141 published by Watts and Co London
Editorial Comment: It probably helps to know this man was also President of the Rationalist Press.

If your users are uploading 40 million photos a day, what does your data center look like? A new video seeking to recuit engineers for Facebook provides a glimpse of one of the social network's data center facilities, along with some facts about the social network's amazing growth. The company's data centers store more than 40 billion photos, and users upload 40 million new photos each day – about 2,000 photos every second. Not surprisingly, the racks are packed. The facility is using a raised-floor design, with no containment but generous spacing between racks. Here's the video, which runs about 2 minutes, 30 seconds.

Tokubetsu Jōnin (特別上忍, Tokubetsu Jōnin, English TV: Special Jōnin, Literally meaning: Special High Ninja, sometimes known as Tokujō for short) are ninja who, rather than all-around jōnin training, have jōnin-level ability in a specific area or skill, much like warrant officers in real-world militaries. They are elite specialists in their areas and are often assigned as subordinates to regular jōnin when their services are needed. One example of a Tokubetsu Jōnin is Ibiki Morino, whose unique ability to completely understand the workings of the human mind makes him a jōnin-level interrogation expert.
- In Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, tokubetsu jōnin are called elite shinobi.

The Anti-Terrorism Unit was, presumably, a branch of the Metropolitan Police designated for combating terrorism threats. The unit was headquartered in Westminster. They were among the Muggles investigating the collapse of the Millennium Bridge in 1996. One member of the unit, Oliver Wiseman, spoke to The Guardian about their investigation, though he refused to acknowledge questions on any of the theories regarding how the bridge could have been destroyed by explosion when no visible charges were present either before or during the attack.[1]
Behind the scenes
- During the filming of Half-Blood Prince, the Metropolitan Police Service's counter-terrorism unit was Counter Terroism Command, which was founded in 2006. In 1996, the Metropolitan Police had two such units, the Anti-Terrorism Branch and its Special Branch, which merged to form CTC.

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot archive > Categories needing editing
If you look on the Category list there are some that should be deleted. For instance, the category "Christian Conserpedians" has nothing to do with this wikia.
Another Category question, "Category:Branches of Magic" - Is this a category we should be expanding? Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, etc? Or is it an obsolete category? Herbology is the only subject with this label. Mafalda Hopkirk 04:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm also wondering, what is the policy on having anti-gay or political comments on user pages? Please see: http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/User:Aglaia Mafalda Hopkirk 02:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- I created said category since I needed a way to categorise some Herbology related articles. I would like to see it expanded to include other branches of magic - Ancient Runes, Transfiguration, Magizoology, Potions, Wandlore, etc. The category should be used to identify the different types of magic (not necessarily spells) that Wizards may explore/ research/ work in. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 13:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

JOE Carlisle showed everyone what he is capable of with a Man of the Match perforance against Viadana last weekend, but the fly half has been told to hit that level regularly if he hopes to challenge Andy Good for the fly half jersey at Wasps.
Carlisle scored 19 points against the Italians, including a late try to wrap up the Man of the Match gong.
Director of rugby Dai Young said: "I thought he did well, but saying that, when Andy Goode came on the tempo increased again.
"It's about nailing some consistent performances for Joe.
"We all know how exciting he can be in patches and how skillful he is, but he obviously needs to do it on a consistent period right through the game.
"He's got the next couple of weeks where he can get some game time and put some real pressure on, because we want pressure for positions right across the board."

Obama Admin. to Release Classified Memo Detailing Drone Death Strikes on Americans
Jason Mick
February 7, 2013 11:10 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Reuters)
Classified document defines under what circumstances a death strike is warranted
Senate Intelligence Committee
will this morning receive a classified document that provides a more formalized version of the policies contained in a white paper memo -- "
Lawfulness of a Lethal Operation Directed Against a U.S. Citizen who is a Senior Operational Leader of Al Qa'ida or An Associated Force
" -- which
leaked to the press
earlier this week.
Senator Dianne Feinstein
(D-Calif.) -- chairwoman of the committee -- cheered the release,
, "I am pleased that the president has agreed to provide the Intelligence Committee with access to the OLC (Office of Legal Counsel) opinion regarding the use of lethal force in counterterrorism operations. It is critical for the committee's oversight function to fully understand the legal basis for all intelligence and counterterrorism operations."
The committee had already received the memo, but did not receive its more highly classified counterpart, which was responsible for actual policy decisions.
The Obama Administration looked to put a positive spin on the release, commenting, "Today, as part of the president's ongoing commitment to consult with Congress on national security matters, the president directed the Department of Justice to provide the congressional Intelligence committees access to classified Office of Legal Counsel advice related to the subject of the Department of Justice White Paper."

The U.S. has to date killed over 28 al-Qaida terrorist leaders under the Bush and Obama administration using
drone strikes
. Among those was U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a Sept. 2011 drone strike in Yemen.
The controversy over al-Awlaki's death was that no warrant or indictment had been issued against him. And while he was intimately involved with al-Qaida, U.S. intelligence did not indicate he was directly involved with a current terror plot. The question was whether Mr. al-Awlaki received his Constitutionally guaranteed right to due process.
Despite the controversy, President Obama is finding some surprising support.
House Intelligence
Rep. Mike Rogers
(R-Mich.) agreed with his political foe this time, commenting, "[al-Awlaki was] somebody who had said that he didn't want his U.S. citizenship anymore. He had officially joined al Qaeda. Al Qaeda had declared war on the United States."
"The legal basis of this goes back many, many years when U.S. citizens would go and fight for foreign nations that were engaging in combat with the United States. So what they were saying is, once you've made that choice, you no longer get the protections that you would. I mean, if you join the enemy overseas, you join the enemy overseas. And we're going to fight the enemy overseas."
On Jon Stewart's Daily Show, President Obama indirectly defended the policy in a guest appearance, stating:
There are times where there are bad folks somewhere on the other side of the world, and you've got to make a call and it's not optimal. And sometimes you've got to make some tough calls. But you can do so in a way that's consistent with international law and with American law.
American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) calls death strikes on Americans without indictments a "chilling" precedent. They and the President's critics fear that the Obama administration or future administrations could arbitrarily label political enemies "terrorists" and target them with unconstitutional death strikes.

The issue may be rectified if Congress steps in and pushes a more concrete definition of what constitutes a "terrorist".
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

UPDATE: Victim named in one of three Surrey shootings
Three people are dead and one is injured after three separate shootings in Surrey over the weekend.
At about 7 p.m. Sunday, a man was shot near 168 Street and 76 Avenue. He was transported to hospital where he died at 11:30 p.m.
Media reports indicate that police believe that shooting to be gang-related.
"This shooting is a targeted shooting on the victim who was known to police. He has been identified as 27-year-old Surrey resident, Manjot Dhillon," Sgt. Jennifer Pound, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), said in a release.
At about 11:30, RCMP were called to a parkade at an apartment building near 128 Street and 94 Avenue, just before midnight Sunday, where they found two men shot to death.
Photo by Boaz Joseph: Members of the BC Coroner service remove the body of one of two victims of an overnight shooting on Monday in the 9400-block of 128 Street.
A vehicle was seen driving erratically from the scene, heading north on 128 Street.
It is described as a green SUV or pick-up truck towing a box utility trailer.
It has not been revealed whether police believe the two shooting were related.
IHIT is asking anyone who may have any information to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT(4448) or email firstname.lastname@example.com
If you wish to remain anonymous, provide your tip information on the web at solvecrime.ca or by phone at 1-800-222-8477
The spate of violence occurred just days after a man shot himself with his own gun.
The victim was chasing off what he believed to be a suspicious individual near his home in the 12500-block of 70A Avenue on Saturday at just after 8 p.m.
During the chase, the 41-year-old accidentally shot himself in the ankle.
He was taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the man was lucky not to be more seriously hurt.
"We repeat it all the time – don't engage with any suspicious person," Paquet said. "(When) in doubt of suspicious activity, call the police... In this case, we're actually very lucky nothing worse happened."

Following on from my previous posting about the How To sites I thought I would just outline which sites I use.
I subscribe to Ancestry www.ancestry.co.uk if you click on the link and then decide to susbcribe I get a small payment that helps with the expenses of this site. However even if I didn't get a commission I would still be recommending Ancestry.
I also use free BMD for the Civil registration indexes. I know they have them on Ancestry, but I find the Free BMD site easier to use. http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
The Familysearch site belonging to the LDS Church is essential to my research. I use it mainly for access to the IGI and then I always check the originals if I can. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp Exciting things are happening with the records in the Granite Mountain in Utah, they are digitising them and putting them online and the first fruits of this project can be found here. http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start
I have used various computer programmes to store my data; Family Tree Maker (got fed up with all the updates), Master Genealogist (I'm told it is a great programme …. once you have learnt how to use it…………decided I rather spend my time on research!) and a few other odd ball ones. I then went back to one I had tried early one and that is PAF, it's free to download, does what I want it to and I don't need to spend forever reading a manual!! The link to it is one the main Family Search page at the lower right hand side. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp
I subscribe to the magazine Ancestors. I find it very readable, has a good mix of articles and keeps me up with all that is going on in the Genealogy scene. http://www.ancestorsmagazine.co.uk/
I belong to the Society of Genealogists in London. What bliss to spend time in the library there on my rare visits to London. They are slowly putting some of their holdings online which will be great once they start on anything that is on the Berkshire shelves!! http://www.sog.org.uk/index.shtml
I can recommend the Oxfordshire Family History Society transcript CD's and also the Berkshire Family History Society ones as well. http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ and http://www.berksfhs.org.uk/
The National Archives site is wonderful for it's catalogue, tutorials, documents online and podcasts. I am sure they are pages in their with wonderful info on them that I haven't discovered yet !! http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/
And last but not least I rather like browsing on the BBC Family History site http://www.bbc.co.uk/familyhistory/
Well that's it for now, hope you find it helpful.

Lead Line — June 2005
By Richard Thiel
|You can now watch a video on any boat we've covered, in your home—or boat.
If there's one thing I am not, it's a technophile. Truth is, I suffer from technophobia. But like my fellow boaters who suffer from cymophobia (fear of waves), hominophobia (fear of fog), and talassophobia (fear of the sea), I've learned to subordinate my fear of technology to my love of boating.
Despite my tepidation I do have electronics aboard my boat, although my arsenal is comparitively modest. I have a Raymarine C120 that tells me exactly where I am and what course to steer to get where I want to be. It could tell me a whole lot more if I'd just read the darn manual.
It is no doubt to my dishonor that I instead rely on a saintly chap at Raymarine named Louis Chemi who can explain the most arcane matter to me in language I can actually understand. I also have a VHF—a very good one—because I consider a VHF not a piece of electronics but a piece of safety gear. I have read the manual for my Icom M602 cover to cover—not much of an accomplishment since it's pretty short—and I feel confident I understand the unit's capabilities, even if I don't use all of them.
And I have a radar, an ancient Furuno about the size of a small refrigerator that looks more like a 1950's TV. It works so well I can't bear to part with it—and no, I've never cracked the manual for it. Frankly, I'm not sure I even have a manual for it.
I've also got an ancient digital depthsounder, which works flawlessly in deep water and not at all when it gets shallow, which is like having a PFD that looks great but doesn't work when it gets wet. Of course, I have a really good stereo, believing that if I have good music aboard I can put up with just about anything, including a case of bathophobia (fear of depths).
One piece of electronics I do not have aboard is a TV. I actually bought a flat-panel last year but never installed it, not out of videophobia, but because one reason I love boating is the solitude it offers, and when a TV is on it feels like there are a bunch of people onboard. I'm also mesmerized by TV. If there's one in the room, I'm glued to it, and I'd rather not practice my major addiction while I'm on my boat. For me, TVs don't belong on boats.
Funny thing is, though, I love watching boats on TV. In fact, when I'm at home I'll watch anything that has a boat in it—except for maybe The Love Boat. I like the do-it-yourself programs and yacht tours on Speedvision, The Travel Channel, and the like.
If that sounds like you, then you'll like this bit of news: PMY has partnered with the cable TV giant Comcast to bring its 15 million subscribers access to PMY video boat tests and other video features, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Think of it: You can now watch a video on any boat we've tested, whenever you want to, in the convenience of your own home—or even on your boat.
Now that's technology that only a cenophobe (one who fears new things) wouldn't embrace.

Trois: A Tribute to Natalie Morris
This is a look at Natalie Morris, the way I remember her and the way I want her daughter and those she knew to remember her. This is a life in three movements. Music is "Made in Heaven" from Queen's final album of the same title, and selections from the "Gladiator" score by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard. Please feel free to share this tribute through your respective networks.
An auction for Sonic Boom's future is currently underway and comments continue to come in through Facebook and Twitter. To all of you, I am humbled by your affection and support for both me and S.B. Thank you, everyone.
Goodbye, Nat. Don't worry about Sonic Boom. I'll keep watch over her.

How we can know more about fake profile on facebook and twitter because as we all know there are many things to notice in that. So kindly tell me what is the best way to judge fake profile.
There are no hard and fast rule to identify the fake profiles and it is very difficult, some time automatically you can find that this is fake, but there is no rule for this.
You can't tell for sure whether a social media profile is fake or not as people join, try out and may subsequently leave social media platforms as they wish.
However, there are a few things that you can look at to judge whether a profile is real or fake:
Once you have spent some time on social media, you will slowly pick up the skills of judging the authenticity of a profile in less than 1 second.
I am not use much use facebook ,but you can define that profile is real or not by- social net work that person joint such as if person profile said graduate from Chemical Engineering , he has to know some in Chemical ( not me I forgot )- Person old member or old fried- person that link as friend. Buy anyway event real person that you everyday meet still can lie to you.So simply to say that don't trust and beware
We can also find fake facebook account by watching their friend list. Are their friend local or global? ? The more local the friend the more chance the person to be real. Also check for the photos in profile. If the user is using only one pic in the whole profile, then the account is fake.
This is very easy to find the fake profiles. You just check the profiles activities and their profiles information. Check the picture and timeline of pictures. You should understand some think wrong here.
yes there are lots of fake profiles on fb and twitter, but it is not very tough to get difference between original and fake. Fake profile always post only promotional status and and promotional activities.
Look for status updates,wall posts and comments.If the user hasn't updated a status for quite a long time and hasn't been involved in any wall posting or commenting of other statuses,it means that the profile is likely to be fake.
Look at the recent activities.If it is that the user has just been adding randomers and making new friends,and that there are no pages liked or groups joined,it suggests that the user is determined in jst adding people and hence the profile is fake.
Check out the friend list.If found that maximum of the friends are of the opposite gender,it can be assumed that the profile is used either for fun or for random dating.
These are the Tips To Identify Fake Profiles On Facebook1 Always be suspicious of profiles featuring photos of professional models. Most of the fake profiles, especially that of females, have only one profile picture and that too a beautiful or sexy (ahem) picture!2 He/she would be tagged in tons of cartoon pictures than his/her own picture.3 Check when she/he joined. If they have lots of friends and have only been on the Facebook a short amount of time, it's likely to be a fake one.4 If he/she is in your friend list, then you will get lotta application or like requests from them. I got many requests like that, some include "Can you send me a chicken?", "Can you send a buffalo?".. LOL.5 Fake profile's feeds will contain only friend request adds.
That's not easy. Profiles who never do anything after their first few posts or shares are more likely to be spammers. Others are probably schemers who like to cheat on you to get your money.
I've had 30 fake facebook and google + account but if you would look through you don't understand if it's fake or not.
It's almost impossible to know which profile is fake or not. It depends on owner, how it promotes the profile.
There are various reasons that people tend to create fake profiles for themselves or they create fake profiles of others. The most common reason is for fun. It is just to have pranks on friends with the profiles. There are also other stupid reasons of why such fake profiles are created. It can be because of shallow relationships, lovers want to test their partner or a person wants to take revenge on someone.
There are people who create second identities online because they are not happy with themselves in real life. So when they are online, they can be a person whom they have always want to be.
The other reason why people create fake Facebook accounts is for business purposes. Most of the fake accounts are used by some companies themselves to promote their products; this is because people find it more convenient to believe in a product or a service when an individual refers or endorses it (Nyberg, 2010).
Yes, these all are symbols of fake profiles. Apart from this less update and less activity also indicate fake profiles.
Lot of people make fake profile for wrong things, this is not new. Professional also make fake for illegal money income.
Today many people make duplicate profiles on Social sites to spread their businesses online. But there is no any defined way to track the fake profiles but you can identify them by checking their profiles and personal info. A right person always make a attractive profile with their original images.
There are some tips to recognize fake profiles:-
1)Look for photos in the profile.If there is only one photo of the individual in the whole profile it makes it quite clear that the account is fake.
2)Look for status updates,wall posts and comments.If the user hasn't updated a status for quite a long time and hasn't been involved in any wall posting or commenting of other statuses,it means that the profile is likely to be fake.
3) Look at the recent activities.If it is that the user has just been adding randomers and making new friends,and that there are no pages liked or groups joined,it suggests that the user is determined in jst adding people and hence the profile is fake.

A new study dispels the idea that cars in their first year of production or those that have undergone a major makeover are more problematic than car models that haven't seen any major changes for a while.
New or fully redesigned cars do not have more problems than car models that have been in production for a while, according to the 2013 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study by J.D. Power and Associates released last week.
The study found that for the first time since the study began in 1989, there are fewer reported problems for all-new or fully redesigned models than there are for cars that are unchanged -- so-called carryover models -- from the prior year. Redesigned and new cars averaged 116 problems per 100 vehicles, while carryover cars averaged 111 problems per 100 vehicles.
In past years of the study, new and redesigned cars have had a higher occurrence of problems, fueling the perception that cars are more problematic the first year of production or the year immediately after a major redesign. To calculate the rate of problems for the 2013 study, J.D. Power surveyed more than 37,000 original owners of 2010 model-year cars between October 2012 and December 2012 -- about three years after purchasing the car.
The study also found that all cars are at historically high levels of dependability. Overall dependability ratings for cars averaged 126 problems per 100 vehicles, a 5 percent improvement over 2012 when the average was 132 problems per 100 vehicles. The 2013 rate is the lowest since the research firm began the study in 1989.
So if you have been eyeing one of the hot new models or a redesigned one, you can feel more assured that you'll have no more problems than you would with the models that have been around for a while. However, keep in mind that the all-new designs tend to be in higher demand, which can make it harder to get a good deal, meaning you'll end up paying more on your car loan.

My new PC build
Hello everyone,
since I've finished my university tests, I've spent tons of time on absorbing any information I could find concerning building my new computer. My current PC is over three years old now and the graphics card is (mostly) dead. I cannot play any games with 3D graphics anymore. Even playing Recettear for a prolonged period of time crashes my PC in an awesome fashion! (That sounds crazy, I know.)
So a new PC is long past due. As I've said above, I've done my homework, but I haven't been able to find satisfying options for all components. So I'm asking for your help.
My current PC build, plus all my thoughts on it, can be found here, on Google Docs.
(The next paragraph is mostly pointless, as everything can be seen in the spreadsheet.)
I've found two cases that sound kind of nice, but I'm not yet sold on any.
I'm basically set on the CPU and its cooler (that's why they are in boldface). It's a Intel Core i5-2500K. I've heeded the advice of forum posters here and elsewhere that said that anything more expensive wouldn't be worth it.
I have no clue on the PSU. However, the power supply calculator said that my system would need about 450 W, so I guess I should be safe with a (quality) PSU with at least 550 W, or very, very safe with 600 W.
The CPU choice limits my motherboard options considerably, so I've simply chosen a recommended MSI P67A motherboard. I'm open to other suggestions, though.
I've narrowed down my choices of graphics cards to about four, but now I'm stuck.
I'm not 100% sure that 4 GB of DDR3 RAM will be enough. However, it seems pointless to buy more as this is one of the most trivial upgrade options available - if I need more RAM in the future, I could just buy more RAM in the future. I haven't decided on brands, though.
I want an SSD, and ~128 GB of storage space sounds like the sweet spot of price/performance to me. I have no clue how to choose a specific model here.
- I think this will be at least the third PC I'm building for myself, so I know how this works. But every three years, all my knowledge about hardware becomes so hopelessly outdated that it seems nothing I knew is still relevant...
- I will hand down the PC I'm building right now to my little brothers in about three years time. So I will not be able to e.g. reuse the case in a later build. (I might be able to reuse the PSU.)
- I do not need a version of Windows 7 due to MSDNAA.
- As you can see in the spreadsheet, right now I intend to transfer ~1.5 GB of storage drives (500 GB internal SATA HDD, 1 TB external USB HDD) and maybe my current 20'' widescreen display to the new PC. I obviously still have keyboard and mouse. But anything else will (have to) be new.
- I'll (try to) overclock the CPU. I've never done anything like that before, but I will be very careful about it and do it strictly according to a guide. The extra CPU cooler is for that purpose.
- This is supposed to be a gaming PC, but I don't really play the most hardware-demanding games right when they come out. However, I can definitely see myself playing AAA games like DX:HR or Skyrim 1-2 years after they came out.
- I don't need a "future-proof" PC. That seems like a fantasy, anyway. I'm fine with buying a new one every three years. But not much earlier than that.
- I've included lots of links with more information in this spreadsheet, so it might be helpful to others who are currently building a PC at a similar price point.
Now to my questions:
- Is there any gross oversight/inconsistency in what I've chosen so far? Except for the CPU, what would you change?
- Do you have any recommendations for the parts where I had no clue? (a ~128 GB SSD and a ~600 W PSU) If possible, I want a modular PSU if it doesn't mean a gigantic price hike.
- I don't really have a budget per se, but I don't want to waste money. Right now, the PC components cost about ~1100 $, but if it's somehow possible to pay less without sacrificing too much, I'd be happy, too :). In general, I'd benefit more from recommendations for downgrades than for upgrades. I probably won't benefit that much from an extremely fast PC, so if I really want more Nice Things™, the money would be better spent on peripherals. I might play nice-looking games like Skyrim in the future or I might not, but I have no desire to play a 2011 equivalent of Crysis.
- I will give my current PC to my little brothers once I'm finished building this new one. There's a Geforce GT 8800 512 MB in it which would still be a very nice graphics card - if it weren't broken, as mentioned at the very top of this thread. I don't think there's any warranty on it anymore. Is there anything I can still do with it? If not, what's the price point for a similar replacement card?
- Any recommendations on peripherals, specificially new speakers? I already have a MX 518, but all other peripherals are still up for grabs.
EDIT: Right, I'm from Germany, so I most likely won't benefit from hardware vendor suggestions from anyone outside Germany.

Bake it?
As for the mainboard - I'd go Z68. Judging by your name you probably speak German, so here's a good article for you. (sorry folks)
And concerning the SSD - http://geizhals.at/eu/626829 or http://geizhals.at/eu/618147 look like good bets.

I believe an 8800 GT will set you back about £10-50, depending on whether you're buying it new or not, new tends to be around the 30-40 mark. Obviously you're in Germany and the only thing that comes to mind about the german market is that hardware prices on the whole tend to be cheaper in comparison to a lot of the rest of central and western Europe? Might be wrong there. At a guess I'd say a new 8800 GT 512mb, probably about 35 euros, definitely under 50. Used could be significantly less.
Baking it might be worth a shot, depends what the problems are with it. If you can solder and can identify the issue(s) with it and they are fixable through soldering, I'd recommend doing that rather than baking. If not, well by all means stick it in the oven, nothing to loose but remember to be safe.Disclaimer: The above statement or statements are most likely completely incorrect, incoherent and a little insulting to boot. Please disregard immediately and contact the closest person or persons with the ability and will to restore your faith in humanity.

The "for any length of time" thing about the graphics card makes me wonder if it just a heating issue. Try opening up the box, cleaning any dust out of the heatsink/fan on the graphics card. Potentially remove the heatsink, clean off the old thermal paste, apply new and reseat properly.
As for a new card - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...orce,2997.html is always the starting point.
As for other bits that might be nice - a good headset is an alternative to nice speakers. A good chair maybe? 360 pad is useful for games that really need analogue, non-mouse control. Good monitors are always nice, but make sure it's a good one. not just a big one. Of course, the higher resolution you go the more grunt you need?
Motherboard wise - I've had an older MSI that was pretty ropey. My current MSI (which I forget the exact name of) has been highly configurable and dependable however.
Memory - I've had good experiences with Crucial and OCZ. Lower latency is always nice. More is always nice, but you don't often see a need for more than 4gb at the current time.

Here's the RAM.
Oh, and the price of RAM should be as cheap in Germany. :)

Thanks for all the replies so far!
When I'm finished building my new PC, trying to repair my old 8800 GT sounds like an intriguing option. I guess I'll actually try that. However, applying new thermal paste sounds a lot more palatable to me than baking a hardware component...but I guess I'll still have to read up on that.
The GPU problem is definitely a heating problem; I just assumed from the severity of the problems that they resulted from permanent hardware damage due to excessive heat. If that assumption is wrong, of course, this graphics card may still be savable...
If I have to replace the GPU, however, I'd rather not buy a 8800 GT again. It has a tiny, tiny cooler and apparently already had some cooling problems back when it first appeared on the market, as far as I remember.
I'm not sold on the Z68 features yet. I realize it's the latest chipset, but the SSD-for-caching option, at least, doesn't interest me one bit. Lucid Virtu, however, does sound intriguing.
A nice headset sounds interesting. I've always shied away from these because I thought they'd be a lot worse for one's long-term hearing. But maybe I'm wrong? I don't have the room for a 7.1 surround sound system, but I could actually try a 7.1 headset.
Concerning the graphics card issue, I have actually consulted tomshardware and found that same article, but from ~July. But in the price bracket I'm interested in, nothing seems to have changed since.
I haven't yet found an article that compares different SSDs, and I don't want to blindly purchase a particular product. Does anyone here know of one?

Headphones are only bad for your hearing if you turn them up too loud. So don't (in-ear phones are much worse for this, but again it's just a function of too loud).
As for SSDs - I'm no expert, but Tom's Hardware have a recent wrap up of 120gb SSDs here. They have been known to do some stuff wrong in the storage arena, but they agree in the end with what I've heard most from people in general - that the OCZ Vertex 3 is the consumer SSD to go for.
- A reliability test at Tweakers, a Dutch site, but terms and numbers speak for themselves mostly (if not, here's a google translate of it, or you can ask me)
- A newegg research by Notebookreview (still in progress I think, not all brands/models are covered yet)
- Some info about an infamous BSOD at Anantech
Those articles convinced me to switch to the Crucial M4 (or Intel ones, but those are more expensive/slower)
Some good roundups on SSD's to compare:
- Newest Bit-tech review (of the OCZ Agility, but it compares to most of the newer SSD's). Bit-tech is mostly a nice site to drop by, and the Hardware -> Storage section has quite a lot of reviews
- Anandtech's midrange SSD test (little bit outdated, but covers a lot of mid range SSD's). Anandtech seems to test the SSD's considerably, with a lot of knowledge.
- Hardware.info recent test (Dutch again). Hardware.info is not always good, but they do a lot of tests (google translate link)
- Hardware Revolution test (mainly by one guy, who knows an incredible ammount of things). Great site for different custom computer builds for all budgets, though a little bit too much SLI minded for higher budgets
- Toms Hardware roundup (freshly in from today, not sure how reliable/good it is, haven't read it yet). Toms Hardware is a great testsite, but it sometimes really gives strange "best SSD's / GPU's for your money" advices, as you can read in the comments

Again, thanks for all the help! I haven't yet had time for them specifically, but the recommendations on how to (potentially) repair my broken GT 8800, a headset instead of speakers, and the huge list of SSD information all look very helpful.
I'm a bit closer to picking all my parts now - only 2 graphics cards remain in the running, for instance, and I've settled on one of 2 Z68 boards or one specific P67 board. Despite the price difference of +25$, I might actually benefit from the Z68 boards - as I understand it, the P67 boards cannot actually use the new integrated graphics chip inside my new CPU. That wouldn't normally be a problem, but I've had so much bad luck with my graphics cards in the past that it's quite likely that I'd benefit from having a alternative available if I ever have to get my new one replaced...
I think I'll post a new thread on a pure tech forum like Tom's Hardware now. Now that my list has shortened, most differences between components are so miniscule that only tech gurus will even see them/be able to make recommendations based on them. Still, if you have more general recommendations (or are one such guru) and have the time, I'm always open to suggestions!

During our recent webinar with COMSOL on thermal-structure interaction modeling, we at AltaSim Technologies demonstrated modeling of a MEMS energy harvester that scavenges waste heat. Examples of sources for waste heat range from microprocessor chips, to internal combustion engines, to chemical processing plants. If the waste heat generated from these cases could be […]Read More

Today we have the pleasure of welcoming Nagi Elabbasi of Veryst Engineering as a guest blogger. Read on to see what this COMSOL Certified Consultant has to say about fluid-structure interaction. Two weeks ago I led a webinar on fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using COMSOL Multiphysics. FSI involves coupling between a deformable or moving structure and a surrounding or internal fluid flow. There is a growing number of engineering and scientific problems where a purely structural or purely CFD analysis just […]Read More

This week we are happy to have Kyle Koppenhoefer of AltaSim Technologies as a guest blogger. As COMSOL Certified Consultants, AltaSim can share valuable insights into using the software — today on the topic of meshing wave problems. As part of our efforts to assist COMSOL users in performing high-quality analysis, we recently used our bi-monthly email to remind users to include twelve degrees of freedom per wavelength when meshing wave problems. This article builds on our previous advice. Wave-type […]Read More

About 13% of the world's power is nuclear. During the 1990′s, this figure was almost 18%. This trend may continue to decline or undergo a renaissance, but in the meantime nuclear waste disposal remains a hot topic among engineers and governmental agencies. Safe procedures for the disposal of nuclear waste have been in place for decades, and continued improvement of these techniques remain in discussion today.Read More

Many of the products that engineers design experience cyclic stresses during use that are below the material's yield stress; unfortunately, these stresses can still be the primary reason for failure. Thus, engineers and designers must find ways of including the effects of cyclic stresses when designing products for long-term use.Read More

World Choir Games Champions Oakwood University Aeolians coming to Xavier March 7
Music hosts Oakwood Aeolians Tour Concert | February 22, 2013
Xavier Music will host the Oakwood University Aoelians, World Choir Games Champion Choir of the "Spiritual" category, on Thursday, March 7 at 7:00 pm in Bellarmine Chapel. Admission is free and free-will donations will be accepted.
Since its inception in 1946 by the late Dr. Eva B. Dykes, the Aeolians of Oakwood University have traveled widely, touching the hearts of both young and old with their inspirational singing. The Aeolians have performed over 200 concerts in the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Canada, Poland, Romania, and Great Britain. Aeolian concerts present a repertoire of choral music ranging from the Baroque era to the twenty-first century. The Aeolians moreover are an authoritative exponent of Negro spirituals and Work songs which express the yearnings of their forefathers to be free.
Under the God-inspired direction of Jason Max Ferdinand and accompanied on the piano by Dr. Wayne Bucknor, Chairperson of the Music Department of Oakwood University, the choir has placed 1st two years in a row (2010 & 2011) in the iSing HBCU Challenge hosted by Reid Temple AME Church in Lanham, Maryland. In December 2011, they were presented with the keys to the City of Huntsville with December 3rd being a day named in their honor.
In January 2012, as part of the Russia-US Bilateral Presidential Commission on development of cooperation between Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama, the Aeolians were invited to sing in Moscow, Russia at the Moscow International Performing Arts Center under the patronage of the US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul. God used this choir in a mighty special way.
Topping off a stellar 2011-2012 performance season, the Aeolians competed at the 7th World Choir Games held in Cincinnati, Ohio. On their first ever entrance to these competitions, they earned gold medals in all three categories of entrance and the overall championship for the Spiritual category.

Thread: Dragon's Lair NES Remake Project
Dragon's Lair NES Remake Project
Some shameless self promotion, but I just thought I'd make a mention here of a game that I have been working on for close to a year now. What game is that? A remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game by the name of Dragon's Lair.
For a quick run down on the game, and of how terrible the NES version is, be sure to watch this AVGN episode which was the inspiration behind my remake:
Screenshots from my remake in progress (version 0.50) are provided below.
gameplayshot2.jpg gameplayshot4.jpg gameplayshot6.jpg gameplayshot7.jpg gameplayshot9.jpg
Why remake a bad game? To make it better, plus the attempt in turning something terrible into something good provides myself with a different kind of approach to go for with my latest game. My previous 2 games (Fishing Time and Space Invaders) had been simple games I had enjoyed myself as a child, whilst with this one I wanted to take on something considerably more challenging.
The gameplay of this remake you will find to be quite different to the original. Shots and collisions with enemies no longer insta-kills on impact, jumps and shooting are improved, as is the level design. Currently the demo version of the game completed so far includes the first 2 levels of the original merged into one + the original 3rd level, with some changes and 2 new levels of my own design. The plan is to convert over all levels of the original as well as an equal number of completely new levels. The level editor I have put together throughout the development of this game will also be included for those that wish to create levels of their own in addition.
Below you will find the mediafire download link to version 0.50 of the game:
Version 0.50 is currently in development and close to release.
Any and all feedback is welcome both here, or if you would like to contact myself directly you can throw me an email at:

Version 0.50 goes public as of today and includes level 3 of the original converted over (level 6 in mine) + an extra one, new enemies, boss battles, music, improved shooting. And much much more. Expect a much higher difficulty level in the new levels. Enjoy:

I admit that I'm curious about this. I've been meaning to give it a go, but I haven't had the chance.
Well if you do give it a go, be sure to leave feedback. Every bit helps as I take all comments into consideration into what to change, what works etc etc.
Of note, game pad controllers do work with this, but be sure to switch off analog if you do. On my todo list to fix up controller related things in the next version.

So! Not bad. I enjoyed it. Controls work well, but jumping feels a little odd, because steering yourself in midair fully reverses your momentum. This makes it hard to fine-tune a jump - I had to tap back and forth to land on some of the small moving platforms. Personally I think the jumping would feel better if it used either gradual momentum (Mario) or no momentum (Mega Man).
The new levels do contrast sharply with the old ones. The new mechanics are much better demonstrated in the new levels, but they also make the old levels largely trivial. A good example is the reaper boss - you'd have to really try hard to lose to him now. The new levels are more challenging and fun (level 4 was still really easy). I finished with two lives left. Most of my deaths were from missing a jump.
The troll bosses were a little annoying. I was easily able to avoid their attacks just by standing between them, but it's a bit difficult to hit them, because you jump so high and because they're fairly small targets close to the ground.
The new music is nice - is it your work?
Thank you for the feedback :). Getting jump physics just right is quite the challenge. I spent many nights on it, but could never quite get it just right. I added a few things to it, like being able to a cancel a jumps direction mid-jump which Mario and Castlevania both do, as well as continued movement in the direction jumped even when standing against a block tile which in the example of if the player was standing directly next to a block and wanted to jump on to it. I'll need to spend some more time and try and improve it. Even I die semi-often jumping for the moving platforms still. Using momentum might be the trick.
Originally the Troll bosses threw rocks at you in a curved down direction, but then people complained about the battle being too hard so I changed it to them throwing it up in the air slightly. I might change that back but slow down the speed of the throws. With the new levels I was trying to take the game where I felt that it should have been taken with open levels, multiple paths to the end and exploration equaling rewards rather than just straight on rails linear levels. In the current final level (level 6) there is about 6 different ways you can take to the end. I really like how that level turned out.
The new music is all made by myself yes. Spent a fair bit of time on them, but just let them flow. Just spent 1 night per tune. 1 was an unused track that I had made for an earlier remake of the Atari 2600 game Fishing Derby last year that went into level 4. Level 6's music was a track I had made for a remake of Space Invaders that I had done 2 years back that fitted the game play so I put it in and level 2's track was one I made for the game itself.
In the next version I'll be making a jungle-ish styled tune as I'll be adding in a new jungle / forest themed opening level to the game featuring the extra enemies that are present in the PAL version of the NES game (my remake had been focusing on the NTSC version and I only became aware of the PAL one a few months ago) + adding in the boss battle from that version into the end of 2nd level level (1st level in the current version) of a huge giant snake.
The next version will also hopefully feature far improved gamepad support which is a bit iffy in the current version. If you switch analog on your controller off it works perfectly fine currently.

Well it's a day of celebration as this post marks the release of the final version of "Dragon's Castle", a remake/improvement project of the NES game "Dragon's Lair" which I have been working on and off on over the last 2 years.
This comes complete with the level editor to make levels as you see fit. Not much in the way of documentation for it but as the game is tile based most things should be relatively easy to work out.
Any bugs/problems/issues, either send me a PM or an email at:

PARIS (AP) -- Raphael, the third in the Renaissance trinity of Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, is famed for his serene paintings of classic subjects -- orderly, predictable and harmonious.
But a landmark exhibit in Paris' Louvre museum turns this on its head.
It reveals a darker face of the Old Master -- previously unknown to the public -- in the 10 years up to his death. The exhibit shows how Raphael in that final phase of his life, while facing a crippling workload from a demanding Pope, allowed his students to finish many of his commissions in a more expressionist direction.
Louvre curator Vincent Delieuvin said Raphael also paid homage in that phase to the "dark, tense and expressive" style of Leonardo.
The Louvre said Tuesday that it's the first time all his moveable masterpieces have ever been put together. Many normally hang in churches and other galleries around the world.
The exhibit, "Raphael: The Final Years" runs until January 14.

WBP Labs just produced "Inside Design," a three-part reality series about interior design for IKEA and Babelgum. Not to blow our own whistle, but we think it's pretty swell.
Whether you're a design professional yourself or you just need some fresh ideas to make your crash pad feel like less crash-pad-like, this series is for you. It features four New York area designers–hand picked from the WorkBook Project and Design Related networks of staggering creative awesomeness–competing against each other to create the ultimate urban living room design. The only catch is they have to work with a modest $5,000 budget and use an item or two from IKEA'S BESTA or KIVIK lines. Sounds like a cinch right? Wait till you see what these guys n' gals came up with!
The lucky winner gets to keep the finished living room, a new iMac, and an unlimited one-year membership to everyone's favorite Brooklyn creative space, 3rd Ward (did we mention this comes with a new 3rd Ward bike? It does).
We don't want to be spoilers by revealing too much about the winning design, so let's just say it's super creative, functional, and makes us somehow feel more human when we curl up on the couch. Trust us, you will too when you see this.
So without further glowing praise, here's Inside Design: The Reality of Living With Style.

Apple Stock Plunges to $400 After Supplier Warns of Weak Sales

Stock briefly dips below $400 USD, analyst predicts earnings miss
After quarters of confounding Wall Street "expert" analysts with better-than-expected earnings, could Apple, Inc. (
) be on the verge of a highly uncharacteristic miss of its own earnings target? That's what Citigroup Inc. (
) analyst Glen Yeung predicted in his
research note
, citing supplier information as pointing to weaker-than-expected iPhone and iPad sales.
That prediction has been boosted by Cirrus Logic Inc. (
), which provides audio chips for the iPhone and iPad. Cirrus
investors Wednesday in its fiscal fourth quarter earnings results that its margins had weakened and that it was taking a large charge on unsold inventory of audio chips.
Cirrus's chip stock fluctuates primarily with the sales of its largest customer Apple's devices. Thus the large stock of unsold chips indicates weak sales of Apple's flagship devices.
Vernon Essi Jr., an analyst at Needham & Comp. told
The Wall Street Journal
, "[The warning] indicates that the recent fears of Apple's lackluster iPhone demand...are warranted."
Since the passing of iconic leader and late CEO Steven P. Jobs, Apple has continued to grow steadily under the quiet leadership of new CEO Tim Cook, but some fear the company is losing its marketing luster. Apple's faces tough competition from Android rivals --
particularly Samsung
Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and Google Inc. (GOOG) -- who have been more aggressive in updating their products' hardware and software.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has voiced concern about his company's plunging share prices.

Apple, which last year bumped the screen size of its iPhone to 4-inches, has largely been coasting on a "if-it-isn't-broken-don't-fix-it" approach to its operating system. While sales were strong last quarter, investors
hammered the company's stock
, concerned about
weakening margins
For a while it looked like $420 was a solid floor that the stock would resist breaking through. But amid the supplier warning Apple's stock plunged briefly below $400 USD. It is currently trading around $403 USD. Apple has lost over a quarter trillion dollars in market capitalization over the last half year, since hitting a record $700 USD per share last September.
Overall, the tech sector was down on Wednesday, but Apple's stock sunk more than most, dipping over 5 percent on the bad news. Rival Google Inc.'s (
) stock is trading around $780 USD, down ~1.5 percent. Google's market capitalization is currently around two-thirds that of Apple, as its stock hovers around record highs of $800 USD per share.

My Boyfriend's Gaining Weight. I Feel Shallow for Caring.
August 22, 2017
Reifenstein syndrome is disease that occurs in boys when the body cannot respond the right way to the male sex hormones (androgens). Testosterone is a male sex hormone.
This disorder is a type of androgen insufficiency syndrome.
Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome; Incomplete male pseudohermaphroditism
As a male baby grows in the womb, male hormones (androgens) are made. This leads to the development of male sex organs.
In this condition, there is a change in the gene that helps the body recognize and use male hormones properly. This leads to problems with the development of the male sex organs. At birth, the baby may have ambiguous genitals, which leads to confusion over the baby's sex.
The syndrome is passed down through families (inherited). Women are not affected but may carry the gene. Males who inherit the gene from their mothers will have the condition. There is a 50% chance that a male child of a mother with the gene will be affected. Every female child has a 50% chance of carrying the gene. Family history is important in determining risk factors.
The syndrome is estimated to affect 1 in 99,000 people.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. The male may have:
Tests may include:
Treatment with testosterone may improve the chance that a boy will be able to have children when he grows up.
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Support Group (AISSG) -- www.aissg.org
Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) -- www.isna.org
Androgens are most important during early development in the womb. People with Reifenstein syndrome can have a normal lifespan and be totally healthy, but they may be have difficulty making a baby. In the most severe cases, boys with outer female genitals or an extremely small penis may have psychological and emotional problems.
In some cases, the genital surgery is postponed until the patient is old enough to make the decision, but this should be discussed with your child's doctor.
Call your health care provider if you, your son, or a male family member has infertility or incomplete development of male genitals. Genetic testing and counseling are always recommended if this disease is suspected.
Prenatal testing is available. People with a family history of these conditions should consider genetic counseling. Testosterone treatment that is started early may prevent some infertility.

According to Denis Day, Director of the Honor Walk Foundation, the "Remembering Our Fallen" exhibit "reinforces the real human cost of war." "Remembering Our Fallen" is a moving exhibit, sponsored by the Honor Walk Foundation, that recognizes men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The exhibit is comprised of pictures and special mementos contributed by the family members of fallen soldiers.
Through this exhibit, Day has come in contact with countless families, each that have their own moving story. He remembers the story of a young girl who enlisted in the military right after graduating from her high school in Tucson, where she played in the marching band. She was killed right before her 19th birthday. Her mother, a former marine, passed away of cancer just a few years later. Both are now buried in Arlington cemetery together.
Day also remembers meeting a woman who did not have a loved one commemorated at the exhibit, but whose husband was killed during the Vietnam War and is now considered permanently MIA.
These are just a few of the countless, heart wrenching stories of people permanently affected by war. The "Remembering Our Fallen" exhibit allows families and friends of fallen soldiers to come together and share in the experience of honoring the heroic lives of their loved ones.
"[The exhibit] puts a face on these people – they're not just names or statistics anymore. They've given the ultimate sacrifice, and we owe it to them to never forget," said Day.
Day's son, Colin Day, an Iraq War veteran, founded the Honor Walk Foundation with the help of a few others. The organization provides professional networking, mentoring and career services for veterans. In addition to these services and the sponsoring of the "Remembering Our Fallen" exhibit, the Honor Walk Foundation also puts on the Honor Walk each February.
The organization is excited about the upcoming 2014 walk, scheduled for February 23. "We're hoping to have 5,000 people there. It's going to be a terrific event," said Day.
The Honor Walk Foundation also gives people the chance to honor a veteran at the Honor Walk. Whether they are still living or have passed, whether they are young or old, any veteran is eligible to be recognized. The veteran's profile will be displayed on the Honor Walk Foundation's website as well as on a large screen at the event in February where they will be recognized by name.
The "Remembering Our Fallen" exhibit is set to be featured at the state fair for the month of October. If you would like to visit the exhibit before then, it will be displayed September 7-15 at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Phoenix.
According to Day, there is no end point in sight for the exhibit. As long as people continue hosting the exhibit, it will continue to exist, honoring the brave men and women of Arizona who have so selflessly represented our state and our country.

"I used these labels for greeting cards I printed and put together myself, and the label just literally tied it all together and had a great impact on a simple, plain envelope"
"the labels turned out pretty, although they do not look like they have a glitter border as in the sample. these labels arrived very quickly in the mail along with other items i ordered. I am pleased with the quality. I will most likely order more items in the future."
