Skyhawks strive for stardom
High school women's basketball team is 19-2 overall and ranked third provincially in 4A
Saturday, Feb 15, 2014 06:00 am
Here is a scary thought: The St. Albert Skyhawks � 19-2 overall as the No. 3-ranked 4A high school women�s basketball team in Alberta � still haven�t reached their competitive peak.
�We definitely have things to work on as a team as a whole,� said Jamie Cole, a Grade 11 post for the 7-1 metro Edmonton division one Skyhawks. �We�ve definitely taken a giant step forward since the beginning of the season and we�re going to continue to get better with every game and improve bit by bit.�
The Skyhawks have high hopes of winning the Panther Classic this weekend at Spruce Grove Composite High School.
The highest-ranked 4A team in the eight-team draw played Lindsey Thurber of Red Deer in Friday�s opener but the score was unavailable at press time.
Today the Skyhawks will face the Harry Ainlay Titans, a 4A honourable mention, or the No. 6-ranked 4A Cardston Cougars at 9:45 a.m. on the consolation side or in the 11:30 a.m. semifinal.
The consolation final is 4:45 p.m., the third place game is 6:30 p.m. and the final is 8:15 p.m.
�We�re super excited. The teams that are playing in the tournament this year are good competition for us as we look forward to the playoffs later on in the season,� Cole said.
The draw is set up for the Skyhawks and the host Panthers to go toe-to-toe in the final. The No. 5-ranked 4A Panthers, 9-0 in division one, clipped the Skyhawks 59-53 Dec. 16 at the SkyDome. It was the team�s first loss after 18 games since the 78-63 overtime downfall to the 4A Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs of Calgary in the semifinal of the Panthers tournament last February.
�We definitely want to meet Spruce in the final. We want another crack at them. We know that we�re a different team now (Grade 12 standout Kayla Ivicak was injured and didn�t play in the Dec. 16 loss). We have more to offer and it�s going to be a different game,� said Cole, one of seven returning Skyhawks from last year�s 39-1 team that celebrated a record-breaking fourth-straight 3A provincial championship.
In four tournaments the Skyhawks were victorious three times and finished second at the Coyote Invitational in Lethbridge last month, losing 61-40 to the No. 1-ranked 4A Chinook Coyotes.
�We always go into tournaments ready to play. We practice hard for them. When it comes game time we warm up good, we know what we�re going to play and we feel confident,� Cole said. �We have a lot of confidence in our team. We�ve developed so much as a team. We have so much potential. We just trust each other and we know that we�ll play good.�
The last league game for the two-time defending metro premier (now division one) champions was Wednesday�s 85-33 rout of the Ross Sheppard Thunderbirds (2-7) at the SkyDome.
The Skyhawks quickly pulled away in the first half to lead 46-21 at the break.
Marinya Marcichiw racked up 23 points, Brielle Wise drained 13 and Riki Steward added 10 against a Shep squad that would have a tough time beating the Skyhawks� junior girls.
�We were ready for this game and we came out strong. We pressed them, got up early and played our game,� said Cole, a reliable role player who scored eight points in the blowout.
It was the third league game in a row at home the Skyhawks dominated teams with losing records. They crushed the winless Archbishop MacDonald Marauders 101-36 last week and Monday throttled the Archbishop Jordan Scots (1-7) 82-31.
�If they�re low in the standings you can�t sink to their level, you have to maintain your intensity and maintain your standard of what basketball we play,� said Cole, a U16 Team Alberta player with Wise last summer.
The Skyhawks are flying high after shredding the No. 8-ranked 4A Paul Kane Blues (6-2) twice in four days by scores of 61-36 in the final of the Skyhawks Invitational and 69-31 in league play at the SkyDome.
�Since they�re our rival school we definitely have satisfaction beating them but we can meet them again in playoffs and we don�t want to take anything for granted so whenever we play against them it�s definitely a new game,� said Cole, 16.
The Skyhawks resume league play next week against the host Jasper Place Rebels (1-8) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. and the O�Leary Spartans (5-3), a 4A honourable mention, Wednesday at 5 p.m. at the SkyDome.

Page Content
The Ministry of Education is making changes to child and family programs in Ontario. In Windsor-Essex, our Ontario Early Years Centres (OEYCs) and Parenting and Family Literacy Centres (PFLCs) will align as Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres in 2018.
The City of Windsor has the role of managing these centres for our area. The City is committed to providing services that meet the needs of residents of Windsor-Essex . Getting feedback from local parents and caregivers is key to meeting these needs and providing the best possible services at Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres.
If you live in Windsor-Essex and are having a baby or caring for a child 0-6 years of age, we need you to complete this survey!
This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. It will ask about the kinds of services that families and caregivers need.
As thanks, you can enter for a chance to win a $100 grocery card or passes to Adventure Bay Family Water Park.

Khenglish - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkIt is strange that in some cases you had lower performance overclocked than not. Did you raise the TDP limit when you overclocked the CPU? I have found hitting the TDP limit to cause the CPU clocks to periodically plummet on my P150EM, hurting performance substantially.
Ex 1:
CPU is set to 3.8ghz, using 55W of power. CPU runs at 3.8ghz constantly, but only 3.5ghz is needed to max out the GPU in whatever game is being played at this time.
Ex 2:
CPU is set to 4ghz which requires the TDP to be over 55W. CPU usually runs at 4ghz, but every 10 seconds plummets to 2.6ghz. Since this particular game only needs a constant 3.5ghz, there is a performance loss. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkYeah, in the BIOS I set it for 67W I believe. I don't know how much that affects things, but something else is clearly going on. GRID 2 in particular is very consistent with its odd behavior. Reply
Khenglish - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkDidn't you say that one of the MSIs came with a 4930mx? You could pop that into the P157SM, set the TDP sky high, set the same clocks, and see if it has the same odd behavior.
And upon taking off the clevo CPU heatsink you will see that they crush the heatpipes onto the heatsink plate, warping the plate raising temps by 10C+ (I lapped the plate on my P150EM). You can see stress marks in the plate directly under the heatpipes. GPU plate has the same problem. Clevos would have phenomenal cooling if clevo fixed this. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThe MSI systems had to go back to NVIDIA (for PAX), so I don't have them any longer. I'm not sure there's that much thermal headroom on the P157SM anyway -- temperatures notwithstanding, the 4900MQ overclocking is clearly hitting some limit that's preventing maximum performance. Reply
Moooza - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI've been seriously considering the P150SM. Any real downsides in your opinion compared to the P157SM? I like the smaller size and that stupid touchpad light isn't present.
I have been considering the exact same spec you reviewed (thanks by the way), but with 4x4gb 1866mhz RAM. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkIf you're okay with the single 2.5" drive, I don't know that there's anything wrong with the P150SM. Given the touchpad and a few other aspects, I'd probably go that route myself if I were in the market for a gaming notebook... well, that or I'd opt for the larger P170SM. Reply
cmikeh2 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkAll units of the P150SM I've found only had 120W power adapters. Do you see that as an issue? Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkXoticPC defaults to a 180W with the P150SM Reply
cmikeh2 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkMy bad I totally blanked there.. You're right. I was conflating P150SM with P151SM1 for some reason. Reply
Khenglish - Friday, August 30, 2013 - link180W is still too weak for overclocking. The 17 models come with a much more appropriate 220W PSU (which also can be too weak with heavy overclocking, but far better than 180W). I don't know why clevo chooses to gimp the 15 inch models with the smaller PSU connector and 40W weaker PSU. Reply
GTVic - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkObvious answer is the tradeoff with the weight. If you overclock to the extent that you need 220W+ then you are going to need heavier duty cooling design which adds even more weight. Reply
Khenglish - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThe 15" and 17" laptops both have identical motherboards with Identical cooling (the 15" has a default aluminum CPU radiator, but most resellers offer the copper version found in the 17")
So no there would be no extra weight. Reply
waldojim42 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI, for one, am always glad to see high end displays in use. Props to Clevo for such a decent display.
On your last page, you mention wanting to test against the Alienware 17. While I understand the reasoning, I think that Alienware/Dell put the majority of their focus on the 14 and 18 this time around. Both the 14 and 18 have high end display options that the 17 doesn't get. IPS, and PLS to be exact. Frankly, I would be far more interested in your results on those over the 17" TN panel.
Also, I have a 9700QM based machine being delivered later this week - one thing I didn't see mentioned, was the thermal impact from overclocking. Also, is the 2bin OC limit an Intel limit, or BIOS limit? I know the machine I am picking up is supposed to allow overclocking, but I prefer not to go into these things blindly - and there really isn't a lot of good information on this. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI honestly don't know if the limit is BIOS or Intel, but I suspect it might be BIOS. Usually, Intel lets you do +4 bins, and you can set SC, DC, TC, QC to the same multiplier (basically, what I could do with the 4900MQ). But perhaps Intel locked down the 4700MQ for precisely the reason that it would be nearly the same as a 4900MQ if you could set everything to 3.8GHz. Thermally, the 4700MQ didn't have any issues overclocked, but the 4900MQ behaved oddly; I think I need to tweak the OC settings to get more out of it, and even then I think it will only be at best a 3-5% improvement over stock clocks.
Finally, regarding Alienware, the 18 is hard for me to go for, as it's so huge -- it's in the same category as the Clevo P370SM. I'm just not sold on SLI for notebooks, as there are too many gotchas (heat, size, drivers, cost, etc.) I didn't realize the AW 17 didn't do anything more for the display; I was hoping to see IPS/AVHA/PLS in there, but I guess not? Maybe next time; anyway, Dustin has the full review in the works, but the high gamut TN panel in the Clevo's is getting somewhat out of date. Reply
Meaker10 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - link4700 = +200
4800 = +400
4900 = +600
4930 = unlocked
4.2ghz on all cores is a +600mhz boost to the core ratio:
4900 = 38/37/36/36 (4core/3core/2core/1core turbo max)
4990 oc max = 44/43/42/42
The biggest restriction on the 4900 and 4800 will be that tdp increases are locked to +10w to 57w so going beyond 3.9ghz wont mean much (setting anything higher than 57w may looks like it has set but the cpu power wont go beyond 57w).
Also powernotebooks is niw selling a 4.1ghz oced 4939mx and 3.9ghz 4900mq in the msi barebone range. How many times do we have to tell you your machine was a bad sample? Reply
kogunniyi - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkYou're right, but MSI deserves some flack for sending Anandtech two bad samples. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThey've gotten a good one; hopefully at part of one of their upcoming articles they'll publish updated thermals. Unless the issue was a, now fixed, design flaw/fan controller bug though 2 faulty laptops in a row suggests serious QA problems that would scare me away. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkAnyone that thinks the MSI was a "bad sample" at this point is fooling themselves. You can keep "telling us we had a bad sample", but that just isn't true. Dustin had one MSI notebook, and at full load it hit 96C on the CPU (unless you trigger the max fan tweak that turns it into a blow dryer). Then he sent that back, and NVIDIA sent me not one but two MSI GT70 notebooks for additional testing. Both of those hit 95C on the CPU under full load -- 10C hotter than the P157SM reviewed here. That said, the MSI notebooks I had from NVIDIA did not throttle -- they just ran hotter than I'd like. 95C is still less than the 100C max that Intel specifies, but how long will you be able to game on a notebook hitting such temperatures before things start going south?
Could we replace the TIM to get reduced temperatures? Perhaps, but I just don't think that should be standard procedure, and it shouldn't be required in the first place. What's more, it still won't run as cool as the dual HSF Clevo designs, since it's cooling two power hungry chips with one fan.
As for the overclocking statements above, the maximum clock on the 4900MQ at stock is 3.8GHz, and pushing that to 4.2GHz was not stable (wouldn't even boot into Windows). While 4.4GHz is an option in theory, in practice I don't see it happening on any but the best CPUs. Even 4.0GHz is behaving oddly, with performance often lower than stock settings. I'm going to try a scaled OC of 4.1/4.0/3.9/3.8 to see if I can get any better performance than my initial results though.... Reply
Meaker10 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThe thing is to go beyond 3.9ghz you will start having to add voltage which will instantly slam you into the 57W TDP limit. It looks like you were already hitting into it anyway.
This is an even more delicate operation than a mITX desktop after all but can be done if you are patient.
But by your own admission if throttle was not occurring on the sager then temps would likely be in the same area and the dual fan has no advantage.... Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkTemperature and power draw are different, so the 57W TDP is the factor. The Sager can better dissipate that (keeping the CPU at <90 and usually <85, with the GPU <80), but Intel's preventing higher Turbo even at lower temperatures. The MSI isn't throttling, meaning, it's not dropping below the rated speed, but it's also not running at max Turbo either. There's a difference. Reply
Meaker10 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkIt would be interesting to compare the XTU graph of each actually to see how their behaviour is different then. I might have to investigate that when I get the chance.
That does not change the fact the 4930MX can run in the MSI at 4.1ghz during game play though. Sure that might not last during full rendering load or prime (stock CPUs will not either in any system including the sager) but it still behaves and just lowers the clock as it hits the power limit (Set to a healthy 75W) rather than temp throttle. Reply
Notmyusualid - Sunday, September 01, 2013 - link95C sounds about right to me.
Speaking for my M18x R2 - If I'm gaming for extend periods (think h o u r s), I run HWinfo64 to force the CPU fan higher than the bios would ordinarily set, and I find 4 cores @ 4.4GHz in High Perf mode to be the most stable for me. 85C is the absolute max I would see in this state, and it is often less. I can run a 4.5GHz, and some run higher, but I'm happy with the stability with 4@ 4.4GHz.
The GPUs I don't overclock, ever. Reply
xtyling - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkJarred.. On a $1500 budget and need for a portable (13-15inch form factor) gaming machine... which would you choose.. Digital Storm's Veloce or this Mythlogic Pollux? Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThe Veloce is just the Clevo W230ST (sold as the Mythlogic Chaos 1313, as well as by most other Clevo resellers -- http://www.mythlogic.com/configure.php?id=147), and it's in a different category as it's smaller and tops out at the GTX 765M. You can get an idea of performance by looking at the Razer Blade 14 numbers, but of course for $1500 you wouldn't be getting GTX 780M in the first place. I believe the W230ST also includes an IPS panel (that's what Mythlogic says at least), so that's actually a nice bonus.
For portability at the cost of performance, I think W230ST looks like a good compromise. Gaming at 1080p will need to drop down to ~High detail with no AA in many games, but I would be okay with that. If you can push the budget to $1630, grab one from Mythlogic with the 512GB mSATA SSD. :-) Reply
name user - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkah yes, a tramp stamp
yes i will buy this product, with money, and take it places with me because its portable, with a tramp stamp
because im a goddamn idiot Reply
gnorby - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkWhile many Clevo based systems run about the same, dollar-wise, Mythlogic has a policy called the Phoenix Upgrade Policy which means that as long as you own the laptop, you pay 5% over their cost on any upgrade components, and they will install and then run a full test suite (just like when the machine is new) before returning it to you with the new hardware. That's as close to future-proofing as I've found yet.
I have a Mythlogic Nyx 17", and since getting mine, my son and nephew both bought theirs. We've all been very pleased with pre-sales support, sales and technical support. These guys are a joy to work with.
Keep in mind that I'm 53, have dealt professionally with computers since the 1980s, and am not easy to impress. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkThat sounds promising; but my question would be if the extremely high prices that a 3rd party would have to pay for the parts for a DIY an MXM are AMD/nVidia's (distributors?) prices or profiteering my the people putting them up on ebay/etc.
I suppose the question to ask if I was in the market for one would be what their price would be to upgrade last years model from a 680 to a 780. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkI have found that upgrading MXM GPU is prohibitively expensive and usually it is way easier and cheaper to sell and repurchase a new laptop. Reply
rpgfool1 - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkAny differences between the Clevo P170SM and the Clevo P177SM? I'm looking to get one probably around Black Friday or Christmas. Checking out the various Clevo resellers and vendors and Mythologic seems to be quite friendly, even though their prices are slightly higher. Also looked into PowerNotebooks, Malibal, XoticPC, and LPC-Digital. Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThe P170SM and P150SM have slightly different designs, with one less 2.5" drive supported I believe, plus no backlit (tramp stamp) on the touchpad, and the touchpad is Synaptics instead of Sentelic. Basically, all reasonable tradeoffs in my book. Reply
rpgfool1 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThey do sound like reasonable tradeoffs. I might as well get the P170SM or P177SM then. Now to look at Clevo resellers that has reasonable prices... Reply
GTVic - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkI doubt you can connect AC power to the back as listed in the spec on page 1, there must be a power brick, which according to a quick search may weigh as much as 1.8lbs. The size and weight of that should be listed in the specs since you are definitely going to have to cart that around. Reply
MDX - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkI'm tired of the hideous and fat clevo cases. If I wanted a fat gaming laptop, the alienwares have way better styling. If I wanted a slim gaming computer, the razers have way better styling. I'm not going buy a somewhat-chunky, black ugly laptop, regardless of hardware... Reply
rpgfool1 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkDon't people experienced problems with Alienware notebooks though? The Razer Blade and the Razer Blade Pro look very nice, almost like a Macbook Pro in design. Macbook Pros look very nice and sleek, but people pay for the Apple brand name. I don't know why premium PC notebooks get stuck with 1920 x 1080p screen when Macbook Pros are able to get 2560 x 1600 or 2880 x 1800 on 15" screens? I know they cost more and the panels are probably IPS. Reply
MDX - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkNot sure about Alienware, but I have an XPS M1730 (dell's gaming line before they bought alienware) that lasted almost 6 years. I'm only now in the market for a new machine because of that, and it seems my only option is still the same size/formfactor as it was 6 years ago: fat and heavy. I was hoping to get something slimmer with some style that was still user-serviceable, but I can't, so I'm building a desktop instead.
Razer's compromise on the screen, plus non-user serviceable hardware rules that out, and the alienware laptops just aren't portable. These clevo machines are too ugly and have too low resolution, MSI's new GS70 is also ugly and not innovate (except for the slimness) so that leaves me with nothing that entices me to spend money on it.
If Razer would put a panel that does justice to their blade pro and ditched the chiclet keyboard (I can't stand chiclet keyboards), I'd be all on it! Reply
woofblitzer - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkFirst off, let me thank you for your review. I have been EXTENSIVELY researching the Clevo P157SM and as Sager puts it with the improved 95% matte display NP-8255-S. It's just that damn tramp stamp...can that be removed and replaced? No reseller really looks to replace it, they all have it on their pages...(funny that they all price out to $2489 too...who is really making these behind the scenes that all sites price the same). I had been wondering about thermal issues and you mention the MSI series. I really really like the MSI 16F4 barebones, not quite cosmetically but comparable to the MSI GT60 2OD....the MSI barebones just looks better to me...but with your testing results of MSI products, are you predicting the MSI barebone will perform like it's parent? I cannot find any real review of the MSI 16F4 anywhere. I would much rather go with the MSI for looks and sound, but it seems the Clevo is cooler and for some reason runs benchmarks and Windows Experience Index faster, even when equipped with the same equipment. Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkThe only thing that might help the barebones MSI (or any of them) is if you put on better thermal grease, but that's a stretch to drop temperatures 10C. As for the tramp stamp, Mythlogic says they'll replace the backlit cover with a non-backlit option; you'll have to call and request it, though, as it's not listed in the online configurator. Other vendors might be willing to do something similar; I don't know. Hope that helps. Reply
DanNeely - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkIs that different from just disabling the trackpad backlight, which they do have as an option in the configurator. Reply
woofblitzer - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkAny theories on while similar equipped Clevo and MSI bare bones, why the Clevo seems to score a little higher? Is it driver or hardware related? Also, would you know, two questions...on the P157SM, if you get an msata, does in only fit in the HDD slots being fitted with the 2 x mstata adaptor or can you go say two msata and two ssd in the HD space? Maybe it is only having a third msata that breaks into HDD space? One last question since you have tested the closest to what I am looking at, but would you assume MSI bare bones do not come with the cooler and turbo boost that the non barebones come with? Ok, promise, one last question...if I am looking towards the future...should I be looking more at the P177SM, because I could add a second GPU someday or is the secondary GPU market pretty non existent outside ebay? Reply
rpgfool1 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkYou can't even add a 2nd GPU in the P177SM. The P370SM and P375SM have the option of Crossfire or SLI 2 mobile GPUs. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, September 01, 2013 - linkWhat he said for the GPU. As for mSATA, there are two mSATA positions in the P157SM, so you can use two mSATA and two 2.5" HDD/SSDs. No idea on the cooling and turbo stuff for MSI, but I'd guess they're all the same in terms of features; maybe someone else has a better answer.
For the performance differences, it could be drivers, it could be firmware optimizations, and it could be differences in maximum sustained Turbo (due to differences in cooling). On the desktop we're at the point where if you use the same CPU and GPU, performance is basically identical within a few percent, but on laptops there's still a lot more variation. Hope that helps.

Freakie - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkHey Jarred, you wouldn't happen to be getting an ASUS N550 in anytime soon, would you? Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linkI'll request one, but at present no laptop from ASUS is in route. Reply
landsome - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI am still a bit puzzled by the inability of the single-fan solution of the MSI GT series to do well by Haswell+GTX780M. I have an old MSI GT663R and it keeps a 920XM @ 3.2GHz and a 7970M under control in prime+furmark, no throttling, CPU at 95C max, GPU at 87C. With a 820QM and the same vid card, it's around 85C+85C in the same scenario - and Clarksfield is a hot processor. I also owned an HP 8740W, and its single-fan solution was capable of cooling well a 920XM and a Quadro 5000M (also prime+furmark).
So why this sudden weakness with the GT60 and GT70? (Also worth noting that the dual heatsinks on my GT663R are much heavier than the dual heatsinks on the Clevo P150EM I owned for a short while, while the fan is bigger and more potent than any of the two Clevo fans, though the Clevo did cool well too.) Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkHaswell is the same process as Ivy Bridge, so it's not really any cooler running -- it's just able to go into lower power states more quickly, more or less. In fact, it may run slightly hotter (not sure), all things considered. At present, the GT70 isn't throttling -- it's just running hotter than we'd like. Is it worth considering? For the right price, and if you like the styling more than the Clevos, sure. I don't think it's better, and you can get heavier copper heatsinks for Clevos from some vendors (XoticPC for instance), but go with what you think is best. Reply

rickstones - Wednesday, April 16, 2014 - linkI have an order with Sager for a NP8258 (= Clevo P157SM). The original LCD panel was the 95% NTSC Gamut matt finish panel. I was just notified by Sager that this panel is no longer available due to "quality problems".
Does anyone have information on what the problems are with this panel? Its been around for a pretty long time now, I don't know why they should begin experiencing quality problems at this point...
Also, I replaced this panel with the standard FHD matt finish panel. Anyone know if this this is a decent LCD? It was only $35 less than the 95% NTSC Gamut. I loaded this laptop up to the gills and am paying a lot of dough for it. I really don't want to be stuck with a subpar LCD. Reply

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The fifth-ranked Barry University Buccaneers proved to be too much for the 12th-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team as the Bucs handed the Lions their first Sunshine State Conference defeat of the season with a 9-0 decision on Sunday afternoon from south Florida.
After upsetting Lynn University last weekend at home, the Lions (6-2, 2-1 SSC) traveled to Miami hoping for the same fortunes, but the luck would not travel with the team as Barry (6-0, 4-0 SSC) swept Saint Leo in all singles sets and claimed close doubles matches.
With momentum up for grabs in doubles, the Lions' No. 1 tandem of Laura Kemkes and Emily Singleton could not overcome some tough play by the Bucs' top singles crew of Elisabeth Abanda and Emma Onila as the hosts hung on for an 8-6 victory. That loss, couple with an 8-5 setback by Coralie Pesenti and Adrianna Daskiewicz gave the edge to the Bucs, and they capitalized for the match victory.
The Lions will look to rebound when they travel to face the University of Tampa on Wednesday afternoon. The Sunshine State Conference match is scheduled to get underway at 3:00 p.m. in Tampa.
For more information on the nationally ranked women's tennis team be sure to 'like' the Lions on Facebook and 'follow' Saint Leo on Twitter.

PEARLAND, Texas - A 17-year-old girl stole a pack of $1.20 cigarillos from a convenience store and was arrested after a police chase, investigators said.
Pearland police said Temira Haywood went to the Phillips 66 gas station in the 4800 block of West Broadway about 10 a.m. on Wednesday and tried to buy cigarillos. The clerk asked Haywood for a valid identification card, but Haywood didn't have one, investigators said.
Detectives said the clerk refused to sell the cigarillos to Haywood. Haywood then grabbed a single pack of cigarillos and ran out of the store, police said.
The clerk ran after Haywood, and the owner of the store then showed up. The store owner then got his in car and chased Haywood, police said.
Investigators said the store owner called 911 and he caught up with Haywood around the 2000 block of Mykawa. The store owner somehow told Haywood he was on the phone with police and demanded that she stop, detectives said.
Haywood pulled in front of the store owner's car and then backed up, hitting the store owner's car, police said. Haywood then got out of the car, armed with a screwdriver or a hammer, investigators said. A short time later, Haywood got back into her car and drove away, police said.
Police said they spotted Haywood speeding on Mykawa and tried to pull her over. The officer chased Haywood and she eventually crashed into a tree near the intersection of Mykawa and Orem, police said.
Haywood will face charges of evading arrest and robbery, police said.

Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals' history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.
If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.
When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.
Adoption Fees
Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:
•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets
•Dogs are dewormed, tested for heartworms (if negative they receive a 30-day heartworm preventative; if positive a certificate for treatment paid for by the Guardian Angel Fund) and receive vaccinations for canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, parvovirus and Rabies
•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
•SPCA ID tag
•Dog leash or cat carrier
•Educational material
Other supplies are available for purchase in our adoption center lobby.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to SPCA Florida.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Just one pint of beer is enough to improve your heart health, new research shows.
Arteries became more flexible and blood flow improved within a couple of hours of drinking the beer. But alcohol free beer did not have the same effect.
The findings support previous evidence that says beer consumption may protect against heart disease. Some evidence suggests a pint a day may reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by up to 30 percent.
This study is believed to be the first one to look at what actually happens to the cardiovascular system after a pint is downed.
Although excess consumption can increase the dangers of heart disease, moderate intake of beer and wine have shown to have a protective effect.

Cemented or Uncemented Artificial JointsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
A surgeon has a choice between using cemented or uncemented joints in a joint replacement surgery such as hip, knee, or shoulder replacement surgery.
This decision can be made before the surgery, based on your age and X-rays. Or it can be made during the surgery, when your surgeon opens up the joint and can see how the joint looks. One type of joint is not clearly better than the other.
Cemented joints form an immediate, strong bond to the bone, but they often loosen after 10 to 20 years. A cemented bond is strongest immediately after surgery and gets weaker over time.
Uncemented joints form a bond that may be weaker at first but may form a strong permanent bond as the bone fills in the porous coating. After a strong bond has formed between the bone and the replacement components, uncemented joints are less likely to weaken or loosen over time. Most loosening that can be seen on an X-ray doesn't cause symptoms and isn't a problem.
- Doctors may be more likely to use uncemented joints in younger people whose bone is in good condition and likely to make a strong bond with the replacement component.
- They may use cemented joints in older people or those whose bone is weaker and less likely to make a strong bond with the replacement components.

Welcome to the 21st installment of The Most Important People on The Internet making it old enough to drink even though I've been pouring whiskey in it since it was but a wee sparkle in me bloggin' fingers. On that note, I really don't have much to say this week, but if you're looking for an extra helping of commenty goodness, you can't go wrong with these Boy George and Arnold Schwarzenegger threads. If they were my children and I was forced to pick a favorite, I'd mercy shoot them both in the face to spare one the pain of my rejection. Or so they'll quit asking. Honestly, that's the type of question that make me glad I have unprotected sex with women who are probably on the pill. (I don't like to pry.)

Dear all
I want to know the updated value.
I am fetching the table values in a form to allow the user to modify them.
Now I want to know which values he has modified.
Please help me to resolve this
In the script that receives the form values, get the original values from the database and confront them.
hey! you original values! what the heck are you doing there!
i think you mean compare, not confront
Yes, I knew it wasn't the correct word, but "compare" just didn't come to mind Let's hope the OP understood anyway.
Thanks, I will do that and check the result
MySql or Sql server does not keep the track of updated value in the table,although mySql can find the last inserted record if the table has an column with auto increment property .
rajeev, i don't think you understand the question
he's asking how to know which form values the user changed
ok.then i was just replying regarding MySql behavior as i know.although i m not expert in php and mysql.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A man was arrested for firing shots at a house party early Thursday morning in Lakeshore, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
The incident happened sometime after midnight at 5300 Fremont Street, where about 15 people gathered.
Police said no one was struck by the gun shots.
Police said Randall Wilkie, known as Wayne, (pictured, below) was upset about the noise from the party and shot at his neighbor's home. Wilkie is charged with 10 counts of assault or armed assault.
Wilkie's mother, Vanessa Rigdon, said her son called her from jail with a much different version of what happened. He claims he had just returned from the store and found his girlfriend, Shannon Lilly, in the driveway of their home at 5243 Freemont Street smoking a cigarette, his mother said.
Rigdon said three cars pulled up and nine people got out, eight women and one man.
"All he said was he came, there was a fight," Rigdon said. "There was nine of them and then a group of 14. It got out of control, and it happened quick."
There was an altercation, and some of those people started beating on his girlfriend, Rigdon said.
Wilkie went into the house, got a gun and came out shooting in defense of his girlfriend but didn't hit anyone, his mother said. She said Wilkie also punched a woman in the mouth.
"My son called from jail and said, 'Momma, it's not the way the news was broadcasting it,'" Rigdon said. "He said, 'I'm telling you, it happened in my front yard.' He says there's a lot of different things that happened."
The arrest report makes no mention of a house party or what started the altercation, which was at another house on Freemont Street. It does say detectives went to Wilkie's house, and he invoked his right to an attorney.
Wilkie's girlfriend, Shannon Lilly, told police she was beaten up and got a shotgun and started waving it around to defend herself. She was also arrested on nine assault counts, but is at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center.
Channel 4 crimes analyst Ken Jefferson said conflicting stories and confusion make it tougher for police.
"When you have conflicting stories, you find the truth somewhere in the middle," Jefferson said. "Now you have two people charged who may have been victims in this case. I'm not certain because I'm not privileged to every fact."
JSO said these neighbors had problems in the past, but did not disclose any details.
A man who does contract work at a house nearby says he showed up early Thursday to make sure everything was OK.
"I see a lot of kids playing around here all the time when I come here to work and they're riding bikes and skateboards, but it's not a normally dangerous neighborhood at all," John Chesser said.

Heidi Montag: 'Can't you see the sadness? In my butt.'
So the Heidi and Spencer split was officially scripted.
Here's Heidi pretending to look sad in Malibu because I know when I'm upset nothing truly conveys that emotion like playfully pointing my ass at a camera. You can almost feel the melancholy. Also in the shots is Jennifer Bunney who's starring in a new reality show with Heidi which is really what this entire thing has been about. Officially the premise is about Heidi trying to decide if she wants to stay married to Spencer while starting an acting career, but based on these photos, I'm going to assume it's about a lesbian couple's fear of water.
HEIDI: But what if it's wet?
JENNIFER: But what if it's… love?

Structural Family Therapy (SFT) is a method of psychotherapy developed by Salvador Minuchin which addresses problems in functioning within a family. Structural Family Therapists strive to enter, or "join", the family system in therapy in order to understand the invisible rules which govern its functioning, map the relationships between family members or between subsets of the family, and ultimately disrupt dysfunctional relationships within the family, causing it to stabilize into healthier patterns.[1]Minuchin contends that pathology rests, not in the individual, but within the family system.
SFT utilizes, not only a unique systems terminology, but also a means of depicting key family parameters diagrammatically. Its focus is on the structure of the family, including its various substructures. In this regard, Minuchin is a follower of systems and communication theory, since his structures are defined by transactions among interrelated systems within the family. He subscribes to the systems notions of wholeness and equifinality, both of which are critical to his notion of change. An essential trait of SFT is that the therapist actually enters, or "joins", with the family system as a catalyst for positive change (also called positive feedback). Joining with a family is a goal of the therapist early on in his or her therapeutic relationship with the family.
Family RulesEdit
In SFT, family rules are defined as an invisible set of functional demands that persistently organizes the interaction of the family. Important rules for a therapist to study include coalitions, boundaries, and power hierarchies between subsystems.[1]
According to Minuchin, a family is functional or dysfunctional based upon its ability to adapt to various stressors[2] (extra-familial, idiosyncratic, developmental), which, in turn, rests upon the clarity and appropriateness of its subsystem boundaries. Boundaries are characterized along a continuum from enmeshment through semi-diffuse permeability to rigidity. Additionally, family subsystems are characterized by a hierarchy of power, typically with the parental subsystem "on top" vis-à-vis the offspring subsystem.
In healthy families, parent-children boundaries are both clear and semi-diffuse, allowing the parents to interact together with some degree of authority in negotiating between themselves the methods and goals of parenting. From the children's side, the parents are not enmeshed with the children, allowing for the degree of autonomous sibling and peer interactions that produce socialization, yet not so disengaged, rigid, or aloof, ignoring childhood needs for support, nurturance, and guidance. Dysfunctional families exhibit mixed subsystems (i.e., coalitions) and improper power hierarchies, as in the example of an older child being brought in to the parental subsystem to replace a physically or emotionally absent spouse.
Therapeutic Goals and TechniquesEdit
Minuchin's goal is to promote a restructuring of the family system along more healthy lines, which he does by entering the various family subsystems, "continually causing upheavals by intervening in ways that will produce unstable situations which require change and the restructuring of family organization... Therapeutic change cannot occur unless some pre-existing frames of reference are modified, flexibility introduced and new ways of functioning developed." To accelerate such change, Minuchin manipulates the format of the therapy sessions, structuring desired subsystems by isolating them from the remainder of the family, either by the use of space and positioning (seating) within the room, or by having non-members of the desired substructure leave the room (but stay involved by viewing from behind a one-way mirror). The aim of such interventions is often to cause the unbalancing of the family system, in order to help them to see the dysfunctional patterns and remain open to restructuring. He believes that change must be gradual and taken in digestible steps for it to be useful and lasting. Because structures tend to self-perpetuate, especially when there is positive feedback, Minuchin asserts that therapeutic change is likely to be maintained beyond the limits of the therapy session.
One variant or extension of his methodology can be said to move from manipulation of experience toward fostering understanding. When working with families who are not introspective and are oriented toward concrete thinking, Minuchin will use the subsystem isolation—one-way mirror technique to teach those family members on the viewing side of the mirror to move from being an enmeshed participant to being an evaluation observer. He does this by joining them in the viewing room and pointing out the patterns of transaction occurring on the other side of the mirror. While Minuchin doesn't formally integrate this extension into his view of therapeutic change, it seems that he is requiring a minimal level of insight or understanding for his subsystem restructuring efforts to "take" and to allow for the resultant positive feedback among the subsystems to induce stability and resistance to change.
Change, then, occurs in the subsystem level and is the result of manipulations by the therapist of the existing subsystems, and is maintained by its greater functionality and resulting changed frames of reference and positive feedback.

I'm getting the current error and I'm not sure how to get to the file.
20121107T194028: www.3geehousemedia.com/login/index.php PHP Warning: include(./core/int.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosweb/web078/b784/dom.3geehousemediacom/public_html/3GHM/login/index.php on line 2 PHP Warning: include(): Failed opening './core/int.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php-5.3.13/lib/php') in /hermes/bosweb/web078/b784/dom.3geehousemediacom/public_html/3GHM/login/index.php on line 2
Here is the file structure:-3ghm -login index.php -core int.php
So if I where to type it out in the browser it would look like the following:website.com/login/index.phpAndwebsite.com/core/int.php
The text inside of the index.php file:
include './core/int.php';
include '../includes/overall/header.php';

Just a template.

<?php include '../includes/overall/footer.php'; ?>
The text inside the int.php file:
require '../database/connect.php';
I think I might have fixed the issue inside of the int.php file I needed another '.'
nope still getting the error
i think you should remove the . in the
include './core/int.php';
so there will be like this one
include 'core/int.php';
but you must check directory and included file permission.
According to the file structure you've outlined, it should read:
include '../core/int.php';
with two dots. But a more reliable way to link to an include—which doesn't depend on where the files are in relation to each other—is this:
<?php include $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/core/int.php"; ?>
... assuming that the /core/ folder is inside your root folder. If not, the path needs to be modified.
Whenever I get a "file not found error" I use the results from getcwd() and then adjust the relative path of the missing file:
echo getcwd(); die;
include './core/int.php'; # adjust path in accordance with the above results.
Start your script with the set_include_path() function => see php manual
Saves you a lot of headaches...
Thanks all ralph.m - you were right I added the extra dot a I think that got it going. I'm no longer getting that error. I tried the second option and was still stuck. I would have to start it from the sites root folder correct? Will it work even if the file calling for it is not in the root folder it's self?
After making the changes I'm now getting this:

This is the code:

Not sure why that is an error is am I missing so information for the session to start?
Yes it's fixed ralph.m - thanks for that code "<?php include $SERVER["DOCUMENTROOT"] . "/core/int.php"; ?>" It helped!
Glad you've sorted it.
Yes, links like that work no matter what page there are in, anywhere in the site, which makes them a lot easier to use.
$SERVER["DOCUMENTROOT"] is very useful sometimes. I will write it in my notebook.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/4/2013 (1597 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg's resale-homes market experienced its bleakest March in nearly 20 years, which industry analysts say is the result of everything from Old Man Winter to tougher mortgage rules.
The Winnipeg Realtors Association (WRA) said only 844 properties changed hands last month through the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS). That was a drop of 26 per cent from a year earlier, when 1,138 properties were sold, and was the lowest March sales total since 1995.
"Instead of March madness, it was March calmness, with buyers noticeably absent from our MLS market at this time of year," said WRA president Richard Dettman.
First-time buyers, in particular, were staying away.
It was the second consecutive double-digit, year-over-year, sales decline for the Winnipeg market, which saw sales tumble by 11 per cent in February after posting the second-busiest January on record at the start of the year.
The question is whether the last two months were just a pause in the action, or whether the market slowdown gripping some of the country's most overheated markets such as Vancouver and Toronto is finally gaining traction here.
Most of industry players and observers interviewed Monday said the answer to that question likely won't be known for at least a couple of more months.
Dettman said local real estate agents will watch April sales closely to see if the spring thaw brings more buyers out of the woodwork.
And Dianne Himbeault, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.'s senior market analyst for Winnipeg, said what happens during the next two months, traditionally two of the busiest sales months of the year, should give a better indication of where the local market is heading.
Himbeault said April alone might not give a true indication because of the looming spring flood, which can be a distraction for both homebuyers and sellers.
Dettman and two past WRA presidents -- Claude Davis of Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate and Ralph Fyfe of Century 21 Bachman and Associates -- maintained the weather was one of the biggest contributors to last month's decline in sales activity.
"I think the biggest thing going on is that this is the seventh month that we've had snow on the ground," Fyfe said. "People are fed up with it."
He said the snow was long gone and the spring market was already in full swing by this time last year, and this year it isn't even out of the staring blocks yet.
"When people still see snow on their lawn, they're not quick to either buy or sell or move," Dettman added.
He and Davis said last summer's tightening of federal mortgage insurance rules is also keeping some first-time buyers on the sidelines until they can save up a bigger down payment for a home.
"But I don't think it's been as big an issue in Winnipeg as it has in some other cities," where house prices are considerably higher, Davis added.
Himbeault said other factors have also been at play here. Wage increases haven't kept pace with inflation, and employment growth hasn't been as strong in the key 25- to 44-year age group.
She said she's also heard some agents say some buyers are being more fussy about what they buy, opting to wait for the right house at the right price rather than settling for whatever they can get.
Robert Hogue, senior economist with RBC Economics, said the Winnipeg market may also see "a little bit of payback" after January's strong performance.
"But that's not different from other markets in Canada." he said. "That (a softening in the demand for homes) has been the general trend... and Winnipeg is not an island unto itself."
Hogue said he wouldn't be surprised if sales bounce back a little here and elsewhere in Canada during the next few months, and then level off.
"But I'm not suggesting a major rebound," he added.

Topic: CC hereditary?
My mom was recently diagnosed with cc. She asked her oncologist if it is hereditary, and the dr. said no. Is that the general consensus?

My mom was recently diagnosed with cc. She asked her oncologist if it is hereditary, and the dr. said no. Is that the general consensus?
Thank you!
My doctor said I got the luck of the draw, that is Western countries with good water there wasnt really much other than luck, wish I would have won the lottery instead!
Hi all,
I think the question of heredity was discussed here earlier, with no real conclusion. I have been trying to get information on high cholesterol having a part in the development of liver problems - my mother had very high GOOD cholesterol and so do I, and I've read that cholesterol may play a part in liver malfunctioning.
My sister is convinced that she and I will die any minute from some kind of cancer, as my father died a week after my mother - of a rare brain cancer. Before that, no one really had cancer in my family. I'm not as full of doom and gloom about it, as it seems cancer can strike anyone at any time. But it does make you wonder, doesn't it? My husband's family has a bad history of breast cancer, yet the survival rate is amazing with early detection and education. Hopefully we can do the same for cc. It's a rare cancer but becoming more rare every year - the cases are increasing at an alarming rate, so hopefully someone will look into the heredity factor - and, more importantly, a cure!!! Here's hoping-
- Joyce
Thank you both for getting back with me.
jmoneypenny: I am so sorry about both of your parents. The fact that they died so close together has to make this even harder. I am also sorry about the fact that your sister is so worried. We don't have much cancer in our family. My mom has an aunt who had colon cancer at 85 and an uncle who died of cancer many many years ago, but other than that no one. I agree with you, it can just show up with anyone. YOu mentioned that cc is rare, but showing up more and more, I agree. We have never heard of this form of cancer, and after Mom was diagnosed we know 2 more people who have been diagnosed with it..... very strange.
devoncat: I wish that you would have won the lottery also!
Big hugs to both of you.
Thank you for your kind words, Amy. It has been a horrible year for me, but it looks like your mother's prognosis is a much better one than my mother's, and I'm glad for that. I hope she continues to have great health. Having a resection is the key, and there are numerous people with uplifting stories on this site.
I realized that I wrote that cc is becoming MORE rare instead of LESS rare - but I see you understood that that was a typo! It's amazing, how many people I'm hearing about that are newly diagnosed with cc lately.
keep us updated, lots of hugs to you too -

Consumer Reports changes its tone on the "hot" new iPad, it now tops its tablets list

Nice... I am curious though, I was in Verizon yesterday and even their display model "new" iPad which is plugged in all of the time only had 9% battery. That has to say something about the charging issue...
3. c.hack (Posts: 614; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
Unless you know how long it had been plugged in, it says nothing.
4. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
True. But the display models at Verizon are almost never turned off or unplugged unless a customer for some reason wants to feel the unit disconnected from the wall...
Also there were two units on display and both were well below 50% battery, only one was at 9%.
7. c.hack (Posts: 614; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
I'm not sure what your point is or what charging issue you are talking about. I haven't had any charging issues and don't know of any, unless you are just trolling.
Half the phones in my Verizon store are dead and the reps have no clue what is going on with them. VZW displays are a poor point of reference.
13. darkkjedii (Posts: 24941; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Exactly, and I don't how many time I've seen a device plugged in that wasn't active. If the red light isn't on, it ain't charging.
14. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
It is still a valid observation.
The "claim" is that the New does not gain a charge while connected to the power cord if the screen brightness is cranked up and using graphics intense applications - like a game. Otherwise, the assumption is it will gain a charge.
However, if in the Verizon store, yes it stays on and the brightness may be cranked, but if it is just "sitting" there ... according to all of the "statements" ... it should be gaining a charge.
We do have no idea however how the New was used prior. It could have been little Joey was indeed playing a game on it while Dad was purchasing his new device just prior to this individual observing the 9% charge.
2. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Sounds like LTE, Retina display and the A5X won out over heat. In daily use, I doubt the heat issue is really that big of a negative.
5. c.hack (Posts: 614; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
My Droid X2 gets much much warmer in normal use than my new iPad has ever gotten. The warm-gate was never more than mindless media sensationalism.
I have to say, not only is retina display awesome, but the speed (with the upgrade to 1 GB) is unbelieveable. Especially when you compare it to a Tegra2 tablet - Tegra2 with HC is a total slug. I love the multitouch gestures for swapping between apps - its so fast now its almost as if all the apps are sunning at the same time.
9. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
duh, the A5X is way stronger than a tegra2. Thats why apple was comparing it to a Tegra3. durka. :)
your also comparing an app launcher OS vs a multitasking OS.
16. darkkjedii (Posts: 24941; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Droid_x_Doug it's not man. I upgraded to the new one, jus cuz my iPad 2 was only 32 gigs, and I wanted 64. It does get a little warm when the brightness is cranked all the way up, and u got games goin, but y would u have it up all the way anyway. I did it jus to see, as for charging it charges just fine... It takes longer cuz the battery is almost twice the size of the iPad 2's, but that's about it. Apple could come out with a higher watt charger to speed it up.
6. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Money. Apple has lots of it. They decided to use it.
20. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Any issues with Apple products always get blown out of proportion because it's Apple. I saw the usual suspects trolling up and down PA. Now they will keep trolling like it didn't happen.
22. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Yeah... great post.

It is hot but not to an extend that gets your hand toasted but it gets uncomfortable after playing game for a while not that i noticed it while playing cuz i'm so into game but once i start doing something after playing then i get to know!!

"I was a little nervous that the picture quality would be poor since it is a decent sized pic, and you can't really tell how it will look from the previews. However, the picture and the invites came out perfectly! Our designer was extremely fast and got back to us within 12 hours every time until we were 100% happy with the preview. We added "Together with their families" above our names on the right page and it was perfect! Very happy!"
"I loved the design for our wedding. The designer worked well to get the exact colors and layout that we wanted. Note, that the Glitter is an image and not actually glitter."
"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"After a few days of search; I finally found this site and I'm excited with my invitation! The cards are easy to customize with so many designs, fonts and colors to chose from. This one caught my eye and I just received them in the mail. Right on time I must say! The paper quality is rich, the print for my photograph is beautiful and the envelopes are thick. It's everything we hoped it'd be and more. I would highly recommend getting this. It gave us an opportunity to share a little bit of who we are as a couple on the invitation as well. In my opinion, it makes it more personal and different. Different is good."
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."

Each of the products is available in its natural radar coordinate system and georeferenced to a DEM. The software computes the interferometric baseline (i.e. the orbital separation of the satellite at the observation times) from the provided navigation solutions, and the refines the estimate to the mm level of precision using the provided DEM and optional deformation model as reference. To remove the topographic signature from an interferogram, ROI_PAC simulates an interferogram from the orbit data and the DEM, and subtracts the phase from the measured interferogram, leaving just the deformation phase.

While most of the headlines label Louisiana "noncompliant," Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries' assistant secretary Randy Pausina said the state's move to disregard federal fisheries plans is "flexibility in management."
The issue is Saturday's opener of the state's recreational red snapper season, far in advance of the federally-controlled Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's June 1-27, two-red snapper-per-day season.
The state's plan surface 10 months ago when the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission debated the possibility of setting a season that mimics Texas' year-long, four-fish-per-day recreational red snapper fishery. The difference then was that Texas has a 9-mile state-water boundary into the Gulf of Mexico, while Louisiana has a 3-mile limit.
A month later, the commission voted to open the recreational red snapper season the Saturday before Palm Sunday weekend, to leave it open for two days, then open Friday-through-Sunday weekends through September with four-day (Friday-Monday) seasons for Memorial Day and Labor Day holidays.
The LWFC also approved a three-red snapper-per-day recreational catch.
During the same meeting, the LWFC followed LDWF secretary Robert Barham's suggestion to approve a three marine leagues (10.357 miles) state fisheries-only waters boundary into the gulf.
Barham said the commission merely would be rubber stamping an act by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Bobby Jindal that declared state waters out to that three marine leagues limit.
"Really we had to talk them (the commission) back to the weekends' schedule," Pausina said last week. "The commission wanted 365 days.
"I asked that they give me a chance to work with (the council) to get a (management) plan that worked, to have faith. We know we did not like the council system. We know the council process is slow, but we thought we could get an agreement for state management," Pausina said.
Almost at every turn, Pausina said the plan was rejected: "For us, state management was just too much common sense, but when our plan did not happen the commission stayed with their stance."
Pausina said the state's plan gave each state, not just Louisiana, flexibility in managing species off their coasts, that each state had demonstrated an ability to well manage species in its waters and that state's would be able to do the same with offshore species.
"It just happened that red snapper became the poster child in this dispute," he said.
When the state's reinforced its position in early February, Louisiana was branded by GMFMC executive director Roy Crabtree as "noncompliant."
"For Roy Crabtree to say we're noncompliant is nonsense," Pausina continued. "We wanted the council to think outside the box, that 27 straight days was not the answer, and whatever seasonal days we came up with, we are determined not to harvest over our 15 percent."
The 15 percent refers to Louisiana's documented take from the annual recreational red snapper quota allowed by the council, which, this year, is a gulfwide total of slightly more than 4 million pounds.
"The first thing on the table was to let us do a pilot study for three years to play around with flexibility in management, to prove we can do it, but we just needed the authority to do it," Pausina said. "It makes no sense that all five state have the same exact regulations."
Louisiana fishermen will have to obtain a Louisiana Offshore Fishing Permit (see story) to participate in Saturday's season.
The enforcers
The issue of Louisiana's newly declared three marine leagues state-water boundary and the federally recognized three-mile limit for Louisiana will mean anglers could head into a jurisdictional cauldron for Saturday's red snapper opener.
LDWF Enforcement Division's Lt. Col Jeff Mayne said the state's enforcement is beyond three marine leagues.
"That will put fishermen in federal waters, the season is for state waters," Mayne said. "Our plan to focus enforcement effort beyond 10.357 miles to make sure we're taking fish in state waters."
Mayne was quick to note than neither National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (the federal agency charged with fisheries management) nor the U.S. Coast Guard recognize the state's new boundary.
Otha Easley, NOAA's Southeast Division interim Senior Agent for the Gulf, confirmed Mayne's statement.
"It remains to be seen what our intentions are, but no details have squared away yet," Easley said. "We plan to enforce the federal regulations at the federal line. For us, that's three miles out."
Easley said the recent federal budgetary battle could affect those plans.
"One of the details to figure out is this little bit of sequestration. We're just tight-budgeted anyway," Easley said. "From what I can understand the (Louisiana) Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will be assisting. We will partner with any enforcement help we can get."

7 Beauty Products Whose Active Ingredients Are Ancient Herbs
"If a follicle can be encouraged to produce a thicker hair, often pigment will also ramp up," says Alan J. Bauman, MD, of an unexpected—but welcome—side effect of stimulating hair growth. "Using minoxidil can make more pigment deep in the hair fiber. It's not going to reverse completely gray hair, but hair can get thicker and darker."
If bad-hair days are getting more frequent, your home's copper pipes might be to blame. In a P&G study led by Jennifer Marsh, PhD, researchers sampled hair from 450 women in nine countries and found varying levels of the heavy metal, which can react with hair-color chemicals and UV rays to speed the breakdown of protein structure, leading to visibly damaged strands. "Over time the hair will be less resistant to other insults, like brushing and flatironing," Marsh says. P&G scientists are exploring how to use chelants in dyes and shampoos to bind to the copper and wash future bad-hair days down the drain.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's and women's tennis teams were honored with ITA All-Academic Team accolades, it was announced Friday by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). Additionally, nine men's and women's players were named ITA All-Scholar athletes, including five from the women's team and four from the men's squad.
"It is a great achievement for both teams to have this honor," said Head Coach James Bryce. "Each year our goal is to place our SA's on this list. It is a credit to their hard work in the classroom and dedication to their studies."
It's the third consecutive season the men's team has earned All-Academic team honors, while the women make their second consecutive appearance on the list.
The men, who finished the season ranked 13th in the nation, were one of 22 teams to receive the team honor, and only one of four Sunshine State Conference schools. Individually, four Lions earned a spot on the All-Scholar athlete list. All-SSC First Team member Matt Nicholson-Lewis led the group, which also consisted of All-SSC colleague Jake Fleischer, as well as Yves Jacobs and Tim Balz-Herrmann.
For the women, who finished the campaign with their highest ranking ever, twelfth, saw five players named All-Scholar, in addition to the team award. 2012 ITA All-America Laura Kemkes and Jeanette McDonald find themselves on the team for the second consecutive time, while Caroline Ebner, Samantha White, and freshman standout Maria Benkirane also joined the group.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA/CA JUCO eligibility form and have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2011 and spring 2012).
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman thorough senior year).
The Lions will return to the court in October for the beginning of Fall competition.

The new Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) announced today in the UK is a useful and sensible development. It directly attacks the important micro problem of inadequate lending to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). But it is unlikely to have large scale macro-economic effects.
The FLS was introduced last July to address the increase in the funding costs which British banks were incurring as a result of spill-overs from the eurozone crisis. This had increased lending rates on UK mortgages and corporate loans at a time when the monetary policy committee was trying very hard to ease overall monetary conditions in the UK. And the FLS was the chancellor's main response last year to the charge that he was deaf to the needs of the real economy, and inflexible in his pursuit of austerity policies.
Almost a year later, the verdict on the FLS is that it has significantly reduced banks' funding costs, with the benefits of that being mostly passed on to mortgage and company borrowers, but that it has had relatively little effect on overall bank lending to companies, especially to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).
Today's extension to the FLS greatly increases the incentive for banks to skew their lending to SMEs by offering them larger overall access to subsidised funding if they do that. Every pound of SME lending in 2013 will contribute tenfold to the banks' eligible total of subsidised FLS lending. In 2014, it will contribute fivefold.
Furthermore, today's announcement extends the FLS by 12 months to the start of 2015, thus re-assuring banks that their access to cheap funding for new lending will not suddenly disappear early next year. The Chancellor also hopes that the new FLS will help to influence the IMF's response to his overall economic approach when they visit the UK shortly. Read more

LAFAYETTE — A Eunice man has landed in jail after his girlfriend told police he held her down and poured bleach on her face and other parts of her body, police said.
Chance Ceasar, 34, is being held on $11,500 bond after pleading not guilty Wednesday to one count each of second-degree domestic battery, domestic abuse battery with injuries and disturbing the peace, Eunice police said in a news release Thursday.
Police said a caller on Tuesday reported hearing a woman's screams.
When police arrived, the victim, who wasn't identified in the release, flagged down officers to tell them Ceasar "held her down and poured the entire bottle of bleach on her," the release ssttes.
The girlfriend was taken to the hospital and released Wednesday, the release stated.
By Thursday afternoon, the victim had returned to the 221½ North 8th St. home in Eunice she shared with Ceasar, said Varden Guillory Sr., deputy police chief of Eunice.
Ceasar had previously been in jail on an array of charges stemming from an incident in July when he allegedly threatened the same woman with a skillet, police said.
Eunice police referred to the victim at the time as Ceasar's "ex-girlfriend," according to information released Thursday and in July.
Police said Ceasar had gotten into an argument with the woman at 8:20 p.m. July 20, and was told to leave, according to the release.
At 10:06 p.m., after being warned to stay away, Ceasar allegedly broke through a window in the victim's home "then tried to strike her with an electric skillet, so she ran with Chance chasing her," police said.
Police said Ceasar chased the shoeless woman for three blocks as she dialed police, the release said.
Ceasar, who resided at the time at 300 S. Martin Luther King Drive, was arrested on one count each of home invasion, remaining on premises after being forbidden, disturbing the peace, aggravated assault and resisting an officer, police said.
Ceasar was out of jail on $17,500 bond when he was arrested Tuesday, police said.
