ISRAEL'S election campaign has entered its final frantic two weeks, with a flood of political advertisements focusing on domestic socio-economic issues and the parties all but ignoring Israel's most intractable challenge - the negotiation of a peace deal with the Palestinians.
Polls show that while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu retains a commanding lead as preferred prime minister, voters are deserting his Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu party list, formed with former foreign minister Avigor Lieberman, and flocking to the far-right Habayit Hayehudi party of rising political star Naftali Bennett.
Mr Bennett, a 40-year-old former high-tech company director, has emerged as a real force in this election and is likely to be given a senior portfolio in the next government if his party performs as well as expected.
He opposes the creation of a Palestinian state - a key platform of most of the major parties, including Mr Netanyahu's Likud - and instead pushes a plan to annex much of the West Bank.
With just two weeks to polling day, there is still a significant number of undecided voters - one television poll put it at 18 per cent, or 24 of the 120 Knesset seats - and analysts say there could yet be further major movement in the electorate.
A Jerusalem Post poll published on Friday predicted Likud-Beiteinu would win just 32 seats in the Knesset on January 22, way below the 42 seats currently held by the two parties and the 47 seats the joint ticket was forecast to win when the two parties merged.
And although a Channel 10 poll this week indicated the downward trend against the ruling coalition had stabilised, with support for Likud-Beiteinu at 35 seats, the Labor Party at 17 seats and Mr Bennett's Habayit Hayehudi on 14 seats, there was still deep concern within the Netanyahu campaign.
This week, the Prime Minister visited a remote settlement bloc in the West Bank in an effort to win back the support of right-wing voters. In a boost to Mr Netanyahu's campaign and a blow to Mr Bennett's, Settlers Council chairman Danny Dayan announced that he was resigning his post and intended to declare public support for the Prime Minister.
And former foreign minister Tzipi Livni, now the chairwoman of the Hatnua party, stated that her offer to form a "Netanyahu-blocking bloc" with the centrist Labor Party and Yesh Atid was still on the table.
Mr Bennett, speaking at a foreign policy debate on Tuesday, said the main concern was not the Palestinian issue as voters were instead focused on domestic issues such as the high cost of living.
''A Jewish spring is sweeping Israel these days. What you are seeing with Habayit Hayehudi is a dormant desire to restore Jewish values to Israel being uncovered, exploding,'' Mr Bennett said.
''I believe that if a Palestinian state would be founded just a few hundred metres from here … it would ensure the Hobbesian lifestyle of eternal strife and miserable life for the next 200 years between us and the Palestinians.''
In recent months, Israel has pushed forward with its plan to expand settlement construction in disputed territory beyond the 1967 borders. Mr Netanyahu this week dismissed concerns expressed by Australia, the United States, the European Union and the Palestinians over Israel's settlement construction.
''It's time for the rest of the world to wake up - the great challenge that we face, the great danger to the world, is not from Jews building in our ancestral capital in Jerusalem. It's from nuclear weapons in Iran … it's chemical weapons in Syria falling into the wrong hands. That's the danger we have to focus on.''
Other candidates at the debate, including Labor's Isaac Herzog and Yesh Atid's Yaakov Peri, a former director of the security service Shabak, were deeply critical of Mr Netanyahu's failure to make any progress on the Palestinian issue, saying his stance had led to Israel's international isolation.
''Netanyahu himself has failed on many fronts, predominantly inside the country on social issues and economic issues … [and] that he hasn't presented for the last two years … any viable option for a peace process with the Palestinians, even though they may have rejected his offer,'' Mr Herzog said at the debate.
''To be on the initiating side, to be proactive, to amass the world behind us and to show to our citizens that we have tried our best and exhausted all opportunities for peace is an obligation and a duty for the leader of the country, and Netanyahu has failed at that.''
Most speakers highlighted Iran's nuclear program as the major foreign policy challenge facing Israel.
''A decision from Israeli leadership must be made very soon concerning the most crucial and demanding strategic problem that we have - the Iranian nuclear program,'' said Tzachi Hanegbi from the Likud-Beiteinu party list.
''Living under a nuclear Iran is a devastating option; initiating a confrontation with Iran is also a devastating option,'' he said.

A coalition of environmental organizations is suing the New York Department of Environmental Conservation over dairy farm regulations intended to bolster to the state's yogurt industry.
The groups, including Sierra Club, Riverkeeper and Citizens Campaign for the Environment, allege that the state violated the federal Clean Water Act earlier this year after easing the size requirement on farms that quality as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).
Now, farms can have up to 300 mature dairy cows before they are counted as CAFOs, meaning that farms between 200 and 299 cows can escape designation. Previously, farms with 200 or more cows were counted.
Click here to read the updated regulations.
N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo explained in an April press release that "eliminating this costly regulatory burden on relatively small farms allows farmers to reinvest their resources to expand operations allowing the state to grow its milk production for the yogurt industry."
"CAFO farms that discharge remain subject to the Clean Water Act," Cuomo added.
The lawsuit also claims the Department of Environmental Conservation needed legislative approval to make the change to the CAFO rules, which it did not obtain, according to The (White Plains, N.Y.) Journal News. Read more here.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish (1-2) used an 11-2 run over the final 4:12 of the second half to escape with a 81-79 victory over the home-standing Saint Leo women's basketball team (3-2), Wednesday evening from the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
Highlighting the narrow defeat for the Lions was a career-best 25-point night from Teresa Manigrasso, as she went 6-of-8 from the three-point line. Chelsea Williams also notched her fifth consecutive double-figure scoring night as she bucketed 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting. Kinnara Lewis, Chelsea Connelly, and Keishara Green each scored nine points, while Connelly also led the team in rebounding with seven and assists with six.
In a first half which featured both teams shooting above 48 percent as well as 12 ties and eight lead changes, the Lions and Sailfish fought to gain control of the scoreboard. With 9:01 to play in the first half, PBA gained their largest lead of the game, 25-20, on Mallory Motycka's only basket of the game. However, strong perimeter play by Sarah Winans and Lewis kept the score with three, 44-41, going into the halftime break.
Holding a steady advantage over the course of the first five minutes of the second half, PBA soon saw its five-point lead disappear as the Lions, capped by an Elise Clyburn layup, regained a one point lead with 11:25 to play.
With Saint Leo, progressively increasing its lead to a game-high seven points, the Sailfish made one final push to get back into the contest. With 4:12 to play, Kristie Mason sank a three-pointer to pull PBA back to within four points. Another Sailfish three-pointer with one minute to play tied the game at 76 before four consecutive free throws by Lynsey Poole gave the visitors a lead they did not relinquish.
Still owning a shot at victory, the Lions couldn't connect on potential game-tying free throws during the final 20 seconds as PBA managed the two-point win.
Overall, the Lions shot 44 percent (27-of-62) from the field and out-rebounded the Sailfish 37-34. The Sailfish, meanwhile, blistered the nets at 49 percent (30-of-61) shooting.
The 79 points scored by the Lions is the most points scored in a game since January 30, 2010.
Following the Thanksgiving break, Saint Leo will entertain Warner University in a non-conference showdown on Monday, November 26. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. from the Marion Bowman Activities Center.

With golden beaches, dramatic headlands and a scenic harbor, Sydney takes your breath away. Natural beauty lurks around every corner, from its peaceful botanical gardens to the picturesque bays of its waterfront. Yet Sydney is also Australia's largest and most diverse city, offering world-class dining, a buzzing gallery scene and head-turning nightlife.
Leave plenty of time to take in Sydney Harbour. Admire the Harbour Bridge (or get sweaty on a Bridge Climb), ride the ferry to Manly (highly recommended) and catch a show at the Opera House. For spectacular scenery, visit the rugged Harbour National Park, with walking trails, clifftop viewpoints and Aboriginal rock carvings.
Sun-seekers can bask on the sands of Bondi Beach, famous for its crashing waves and beautiful people. And you needn't leave the shoreline when hunger strikes – you'll find everything from old-fashioned fish-and-chips shops to gilded dining rooms on Darling Harbour. Afterwards, finish the night with a drink at a charming wine bar in Paddington or a vintage pub in the Rocks, the city's oldest district.

The tougher the test a person is put through, the higher quality that person would attain. The easier the test is, the shoddier that person would be. I mean the toughness of the test is very-very favorable. For instance the Companions of our Prophet (saas) went through a very difficult test. They all became the sweetest ones of the world. The Companions of our Prophet (saas) were like bread; everyone loved them very dearly. They were all very perfect, they were really very perfect. They will all be perfect in the Hereafter, in the Heaven as well. However they've been through so difficult trials. So much so that Almighty God says; "When they came at you from above you and below you.." It was not like it is now, pay attention, there is no law, there is no legal system, there is nothing. Raving psychopaths are coming at them from above them and from below them with swords, maces, choppers in their hands. They are continuously martyring Muslims from above them and from below them. Muslims are left in the middle. "when your eyes rolled and your hearts rose to your throats.." says Almighty God. "..and you thought unworthy thoughts about God," and His Messenger. Look, that is how some people reacted there; do you see the toughness of the test? For instance nothing happens to those with strong faith, nothing happens to our Prophet (saas) but those with weak faith start to have doubts. These people are not irreligious, they have faith. They have faith strong enough to strive on the way of God, strong enough to go to war but when they are left in such a difficult situation -may God forbid- they begin to have doubts saying "is our Prophet (saas) really a true Prophet? What if our Prophet (saas) dies here now, did we come here in vain? What if God does not exist?" may God forbid. When this trial ends God brings their enemies to their knees. That is very easy for God. Well, they could have been defeated there and that defeat would also be a part of their destiny. They would then be martyrs and how nice that is, they would be going to the Presence of God like a radiant light.
The greatest good deeds are attained through increasing faith. I mean if you want to increase your good deeds, you should increase your sincerity, you would thus be attaining a lot of good deeds, there would be no end to this. DEPENDING ON YOUR SINCERITY IF YOU INCREASE YOUR FATIH, YOU WOULD THUS BE ATTAINING A LOT OF GOOD DEEDS FROM THAT. The greatest good deeds that could be attained lies in this secret. Or else God says; "They are the ones whose actions will come to nothing." One might work hard and strive but might have a weak faith, their sincerity might be weak. Even if they strive a lot they cannot attain any results.2013-06-29 06:32:05

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Bloomfield Township police said they had to help a couple with an infant out of a locked Kmart store on Monday.
Police said officers responded to the store on Telegraph Road when the burglar alarm went off. They were able to help unlock the doors and get the couple out.
Police said the couple told them they had been shopping until they realized there wasn't anyone in the store. It appears store employees closed and left without realizing the couple was still inside.

Robert John Richardson - Obit
20 Aug 1931 — Sibley, Iowa
Sibley Gazette Tribune August 20, 1931
R. Richardson, Oldest Sibley Merchant, Dies: Pioneer Opened meat Market Shortly After Town Was Platted
Robert Richardson, Sibley's oldest merchant and the oldest butcher in Iowa, died in his home her Tuesday evening, following several month's serious illness. He was 84 years old. Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Sibley M.E. church under the direction of the local I.O.O.F chapter, the Rev. H.O. Ward, pastor of the church will officiate. Burial will be made in the Sibley cemetery. Mr. Richardson has been bedridden since April, when he returned from an Execelsior Springs, Mo., sanitorium, where he had gone for several weeks of treatments. He suffered with rheumatism last fall and winter and had contracted uremic poisoning last spring. His death was caused by a complication of the alliments.
Oldest Iowa Butcher - Mr. Richardson had been in the meat business in LeMars two years before he came to Sibley, in 1872. He was recognised by Iowa butcher groups as the oldest of their number. The Richardson meat market here is still conducted in this pioneer's name. He came here in the fall of 1872, only a few months after the town was platted. At the time of his death, he was the only merchant in Sibley to have conducted a business here continuously more than 50 years. He was actively connected with the business houses in that district burned in 1873 and were rebuilt on Ninth Street. In those pioneer days, Mr. Richardson was on of the few butchers in northwest Iowa and drew customers not only from all of Osceola county, but also from Sioux, O'Brien and Lyon counties. Odd Fellow for 58 years - Mr. Richardson had been a member of the I.O.O.F Lodge for 58 years at the time of his death. He was also a member of the Yeomen Lodge. He was born in Belfast, Ireland, Feb 9, 1847. He came to the United States in 1860 and lived for several years in Wisconsin. In 1873 he was married to Miss Katherine Bremer, who survives him. He is also survived by two sons, Edward of Sibley and George of Santa Ana, California, and two daughters, Miss Mae Richardson of Sibley and Mrs Allan Knapp of Garden Grove, California. Edward Richardson is manager of the meat market. A brother Jack Richardson of Sibley also survives, as well as two brothers in Canada and two brothers and a sister in Belfast, Ireland.
A daughter Edith, died about nine years ago and a son, Randolph died about 30 years ago.

Families coping with dementia shared festive cheer with volunteers from medical nutrition company Nutricia.
More than 30 people from Wiltshire with dementia attended the party with their carers, many family members. All are regular visitors to the Polebarn House Club in Trowbridge which is run by Alzheimers Support. Nutricia has a close relationship with Polebarn House and Alzheimers Support and gets involved in several events during the year.
Employees of the Trowbridge-based company gave their time to organise the event while other staff members donated food for the guests. Guests enjoyed quizzes, live music, food and fun at the buffet lunch which was managed by Nutricia employees Louise Reys and Rachael Trevett.
Sue Galloway, aged 61, attended the lunch with her 84-year-old mum Doris Pierce. Doris attends Polebarn House Club each Friday and Saturday.
Sue said: "It's lovely to meet others and get support. It's also lovely to meet youngsters who are genuinely pleased to spend time with us."
Among those helping out was Louise Robbins, a Nutricia nurse on the company's care line who also volunteers at the Polebarn House Club most Saturdays. "I'm passionate about caring for people with dementia. At work, I support people over the phone but at the weekend I like the close relationships I can develop with inspirational families," Louise said.
Nutricia plans to keep on working with Polebarn House Club and Alzheimers Support during 2014.

Thanks Kseniya. I had just posted an APA bundle piece to Neil Giroux, on which I quite ambiguously credited "Laddies" to you, since 1) I could not get specifics, 2) you and Jessica created Ladies of Letterpress, which led to Laddies. I shall of course credit Jake Massey for the term in future.
Thanks for the welcome! I'm super excited to be apart of the Ladies of Letterpress.
Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi, sorry it took so long.
Thank you soo much for your kind note about my book. It means so much to get positive feed back from people who are working in the field and making it happen! I was so pleased when I talked to Eileen and she told me how much you liked it. I'd love to sell you one of the edition.
I might also pick your brain in the near future about going abroad. My boyfriend and I are starting to think about post-graduation plans and time in Germany might be on the list.
Thanks again. It means so much to me.
Thanks! People seem to like them, they are selling quick.

HOUSTON - A suspected thief was caught on camera stealing a man's wallet from a pickup truck right after he pretended to apply for a job at the business where his unsuspecting victim works.
It happened in the parking lot of a business near the 8900 block of Railwood on New Year's Eve.
Jake Gottfried works for Mexcor, the third largest liquor distribution company in Texas. Gottfried said he's convinced the crook followed him back to work Monday afternoon after he withdrew $2,000 from his bank.
Surveillance video shows the unidentified man pulling into the parking lot right after Gottfried walked into his company's headquarters.
The suspected thief did not strike right away. As if spending a few minutes driving around the property in an effort to scope it out wasn't bold enough, the crook walked inside the company's headquarters, went upstairs to the main offices, encountered Gottfried and asked him for a job application. Gottfried said the man claimed he wanted to be a truck driver.
Surveillance video shows the man leaving, but moments later he went back inside the building, went upstairs and chatted with another employee before taking off again.
The last piece of surveillance video showed the accused thief bashing in the window of Gottfried's pickup truck and stealing his wallet, full of cash, before driving off.
Gottfried said he contacted Houston police, but no one has been arrested. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

K-State Baseball to Sign Autographs Wednesday
K-State Baseball to Sign Autographs Wednesday
Jan. 28, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. - The 2013 Kansas State baseball team will sign autographs along the concourse on the north end of Bramlage Coliseum prior to Wednesday night's men's basketball game against Texas.
The autograph session will begin at 6 p.m., and will feature a team that returns 15 letterwinners, including six position starters and eight pitchers from a 2012 squad that advanced to a sixth-consecutive postseason appearance. The squad will also be recognized during the game at the second media timeout (under 12:00) of the first half.
The K-State Baseball Season Ticket Committee will be on hand at the autograph session with information on how to purchase 2013 season tickets for the exciting 31-game home schedule. Season-ticket packages begin at just $75 in the general admission bench area, an affordable price of less than $2.50 per contest. Tickets in reserved chairback seating behind home plate begin at $115.
Fans can order season tickets by logging on to www.k-statesports.com/tickets, calling 1-800-221-CATS or visiting the K-State Athletics Ticket office in person at Bramlage Coliseum.
In addition to the baseball team being recognized, the 2012 Big 12 Football Champion K-State football team will be showcased at halftime Wednesday night. Prior to the game, the Big 12 Championship trophy will be on display on the southwest concourse of Bramlage Coliseum and fans will have the opportunity to take photos with the trophy.
A limited number of tickets are available for Wednesday's game against the Longhorns. Fans can order tickets online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets, by phone at 1-800-221-CATS or by visiting the K-State Athletics Ticket office inside Bramlage Coliseum.

SEATTLE, Wash. - This is the year you've vowed to finally shed that extra weight! But you might be making poor choices without even knowing it. What you think is good for you, may not be good at all.
One common mistake: going gluten-free.
"There's really nothing to do with weight loss when we talk about gluten."explained Judy Simon, MS, RD, Clinical Dietitian at the University of Washington Medical Center.
Simon says gluten-free dieters often lose weight because they consume fewer calories and carbs – not because they cut gluten.
Another culprit: healthy drinks – like vitamin water.
"You're kind of drinking sugar water, and you're spending a lot of money on it," Simon said.
Also beware of snacks labeled "low fat" – like a bag of Chex Mix.
"The claim on it is it has 50 percent less fat than potato chips," Simon said.
But when you compare it to a bag of plain chips – it actually has more than twice the calories.
"Low sugar" ice cream can be another trap. One brand has 100 calories per serving – the same as regular ice cream – but it has more artificial flavors and ingredients.
"What I tell people is if you want to enjoy a dessert, you'd probably do better with a smaller portion of the real thing," Simon said.
Low-fat salad dressings are often loaded with hidden sugars; one of these has eight grams per two tablespoons. That's like tossing 10 jelly beans in your salad! And one brand of low-fat cottage cheese has 400 milligrams of sodium per serving. That's like eating more than two, one ounce bags of potato chips!
Another diet food to watch out for: fast food salads. You might think you're being healthy, but these are often very high in calories and sodium. A McDonald's Caesar salad with grilled chicken contains more than half the recommended amount of sodium, and that's without the dressing. The worst part is usually the chicken, which is often cooked in a high-sodium marinade and injected with a sodium solution to keep it moist.
The bottom line?
"Just because it has a health claim, doesn't mean it doesn't have calories," Simon said.
Advice that could make this year's weight loss plan a success.

Have to agree there. I generally don't believe in the notion of the CEO beign all that important to a company, but Apple without Jobs does seem to be going downhill in terms of innovation and appeal. Still doing well financially obviously, but hey, Nokia was at its peak just a few years back also.
11. chunk1x (Posts: 248; Member since: 25 Jun 2011)
Samsung pretty much king of the hill today. Nokia is generating a massive buzz over the new Lumia phones. I'm not a big fan of Apple but I was expecting that this Apple to kicks the hornets nest. All that happened is it just farted silently. Gee what a buzz kill!

I hope their roll-out of iOS 6 goes better than the roll-out for iOS 5. Apple put a validation server in the upgrade loop that decided to go offline for most of the day that iOS 5 was first available.
Initial impressions were that iDevices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) were bricked by the upgrade. I was in one of the stores at the time checking out the MBAir, and the Genius bar folks were quite stressed out. Apparently some of their personal iDevices had been bricked by the upgrade.
The validation server fiasco even made the mac-blogs, if memory serves.

Photo sleeves

The pages are very nice, however, a 4x6 picture will not fit into the sleeves without trimming just a fraction off the top or bottom of the picture. The sleeve needs to be just a fraction larger in the 4" side.

great albums
Apr 12, 2014 | By Diane Marks
These albums with 3-rings are fantastic. I spent years doing scrapbooking with post and strap albums and had problems inserting pages, etc. These make it so easy and I will never use any other kind. Pioneer 3-ring 12" binders are sturdy, big enough for a lot of pages and come in good colors.

I never thought I would like these albums. I have all post albums. I bought a couple of these to use for my Fire Departments albums, then just for fun I got one for me. WELL, I am so glad I did, my album now lays flat and I have plans to buy at least 12 more of these and change all my albums over!

Jan 16, 2011 | By Rhonda S
Have bought this album before in stores because of its capability to hold plenty of pages, ease of use (three rings, no straps or post) and its sturdy design. Love it more now because it came with plastic cover to protect cloth cover of album.

HOUSTON - Houston Independent School District teachers are receiving a pay raise in the new budget.
The new budget of $1.5 billion, which was approved Thursday, includes a 2 percent pay raise for all teachers.
"It's nice to feel appreciated, and everything's going up and we'd like to keep up with everybody else, but most teachers aren't there for the amount of money they're paying," said Terry Houvouras, who has been teaching in Houston schools for 30 years. "They went into teaching for the amount of money they're going to get, they want to teach."
The district is using $9 million in savings for the pay raises instead of raising taxes.
"I think teachers love the job and that's why they do it. I don't think the pay has to do anything, but I definitely believe they do a lot of hard work so they deserve the pay," said parent Monique Murrah.
"They deserve it. I think they deserve it. The school my kids attend, they deserve it," parent Adrienne Holiday said.
Other employees are also receiving pay raises:
- Principals, assistant principals and deans: 2 percent
- School bus operators, hourly food services employees, and salaried departmental employees on the lower end of the pay scale: 2.25 percent
- Substitute teachers and other hourly employees: 2.25 percent
- Professional employees and upper-level administrators: 1.75 percent
Last year, more than 700 teaching and administrative positions were cut.

Police are increasingly worried that more young women could fall victim to a serial sex attacker who struck again overnight in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
The woman, 19, is the man's seventh victim, but the only one for six weeks. Five of the six other women were attacked as they alighted from buses and the sixth as she left a train station.
The 19-year-old was approached from behind and sexually assaulted in Through Road, off Toorak Road, in Camberwell as she left a tram about 8.30pm on Saturday.
Detective Superintendent Rod Jouning said the woman screamed and was able to push the offender away and he ran off in an unknown direction.
"The issue here is that it now appears we have this link to another six similar incidents that have occurred," he said.
"Each of these incidents are quite alarming in their severity and while none of the victims ... has actually been raped, there is every chance that the offences could escalate."
The other attacks were in:
- Kanooka Avenue, Lower Templestowe, at 6.35pm on August 3
- Bordeaux Street, Doncaster, at 11.10pm on August 4
- Harrow Street, Box Hill, at 11.40pm on August 4
- Hillcroft Drive, Templestowe, at 7.45pm on August 14
- Soderlund Drive, Doncaster at 7.25pm on August 22
- Tuxen Street, Balwyn North at 10.35pm on September 6
In the most recent attack, the man was wearing a bright, fluorescent pink t-shirt and dark-coloured shorts.
He is described as being Asian in appearance, aged in his early 20s and having short, dark, spiky hair.
"In every case, the victims have travelled on public transport, they've alighted that public transport and then walked down fairly secluded type streets and they've been attacked from behind in a very short distance of getting off that public transport," Detective Superintendent Jouning said.
"There is that very high risk that this could escalate ... the imperative for people travelling on public transport is not to be alarmed by this, but to be aware of their surroundings - having a good look around before you walk down a street and, if possible, don't walk into darkened streets, find another way home."
Police urge anyone with information to phone triple-zero.

larson0699 - Monday, August 04, 2008 - linkYou mentioned that the label on the Thermaltake unit doesn't state maximum combined load of the lower-volt rails.
But look, it does. 180 Watts. Reply
BRDiger - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkI kind a wondering because comparing the efficiency level of the Be Quiet! to the testing datasheet on the 80plus.org site it just reaches about 80% at 100% load unlike your results with nearly 84%. Comparing it to the Enermax Modu 82+ review here, it even exeeds its efficiency
Just wondering and it´s not supposed to be an offence... Reply
BRDiger - Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - linkWell, after reading another review it seems that 80plus was actually wrong and the be quiet!s performance exeeds the enermax.. Reply
strikeback03 - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkThermal and fluids was not my best subject in school, but don't fans usually lose air off the tips of the blades, not suck it in? That is my experience with the Zerotherm Nirvana, which seems to make the same claim of sucking air in with its open fan. Reply
mo3 - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkThe new Enermax Modular 82+ & Pro 82+ can peak over 700Watts with out a problem; also they have the ATX12v V2.3 and reaching 88% efficiency.
Modular 82+ has 2x 12 pin connection embedded for up and coming graphics cards and greater stability.
Just to give the readers a better alternative! :)

crimson117 - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkOkay... PSU review.. new 9600 GT review... I think anandtech is trying to tell me I need a new computer! Reply
NINaudio - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkHi, you mention that the be quiet! PSU is quiet but also runs warmer than the others. Where are the temperature charts that we've seen in previous PSU reviews? It would be good to see the temperatures that you sacrifice for a quieter PSU. Is it a degree, 5 degrees, ten degrees, more? Reply
tynopik - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link1. include a real stress test like how the units handle rapidly changing input voltage
say load them up to 80% capacity and then connect them to a variac and dip the voltage to ~90V 3 times in quick succession to simulate a brownout or poor electrical conditions and check that
a) it doesn't blow up
b) it maintains quality output while the input if fluctuating
2. include cheapo units for comparision just for the reminder of what a poor quality unit is
3. i really love your connector length charts, far more useful than the usual 'stetch a jumble of cables out and lay a ruler next to it' approach. i just wish you would do the same for the sata/peripheral connectors
4. i'm really like the way you combined all the acoustic and efficiency charts together instead of having a bunch of individual charts Reply
Christoph Katzer - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkI just assembled a nice system do to those tests. Once it's up and running I will include it. Will also make a comparison of all cables from now on, thanks.
The problem with cheap units is that they are mostly for a specific market. I would need to buy thise units myself since no company would ever send them over. Since I am not in the US I will only have the stuff from Europe which is not even available in the US. But let us see how we could change that in the future... Reply
jtleon - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkChris,
You state that at least 100W must be drawn before these units achieve high efficiency. Can you relate this requirement to most normal PC tasks - i.e. browsing the web (reading Anandtech reports of course), answering email, other office based activities (the majority of PC users on the planet), rather than those hardcore gamers that are gaming around the clock (and clearly are independently wealthy!).
It would appear that these PSU's are not going to efficiently reduce the carbon footprint of the majority of PC users on this planet.
Am I wrong?
strikeback03 - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkIf you check various Anandtech articles their power draw charts are typically done with a Kill-a-watt meter at the wall. So multiply those numbers by approximately 0.8 and you will have an idea of what those components draw together from the PSU.
I built a system for the lab here using an E2180, P965, 2x1GB DDR2-800, 1 DVD, 1 HDD. With a fanless 8500GT idly power at the wall was around 90 watts, I never cheacked load (card had issues). With an 8800GTS 640 idle power at the wall is about 135W, at full load around 210W. System is using an Earthwatts 380. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkJust check the diagram, a 650W unit needs to have at least 150 watts drawn before it has a decent efficiency. I was running a 4000+, 7800GTX, couple of drives and 2 gig of ram and didnt come over 150 watts fully loaded. So just imagine how low the actual power consumption is nowadays and how cool everybody looks with their 1000 watts unit which is drawing only around 150 watts with an efficiency of maybe just 70%.
Before choosing a new PSU you would need to know the rough amount of power you need while operating the most used app on the PC. This is at most average PCs 100 to 150 watts and for that a 500-650W PSU is just the best choice. Reply
Super Nade - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkHi,
How are you arriving at your numbers for regulation? What kind of a load are you using as "idle" to compute the percentages? Is it the manufacturer supplied minimum values or is it something you have chosen at your discretion? I hope you are not calculating stuff based on 12.00, 5.00 and 3.30 values!
Also, why did you guys drop the rail-wise load distribution charts and the cross-loading tests? That was quite informative and nice to compare units at a glance. These percentages do not convey as much information.
Another suggestion I have would be to use standard, yet very simple statistical calculations (mean, standard deviation, variance) instead of these percentages.
Best wishes,
Super Nade @ OCFoums Reply
Christoph Katzer - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkWe needed to cut some info to make the articles shorter, but I can get those back on next time. Reply
Griswold - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - link... when we arrived at the more reasonable 400-550W range.
Dont get me wrong, Christoph is doing a great job with these reviews but most if not all of them are for PSUs that are a wee bit too oversized for many people - even here at AT. Reply
jonnyGURU - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkThe problem is this community is very much divided when it comes to power consumption. Many people - even here at AT, may not be using SLI. The most decisive factor in power needs is what GPU you're using and how many of them you have. Given the current selection of SLI or Crossfire capable graphics cards on the market today, I would NEVER suggest anyone use a 400-550W power supply for any of them. Yes, you can run a pair of 8800 GT's off of a 500W for some time, but nobody thinks about the long term effects of running a PSU at 75%+ capability for extended periods of time inside a 40°C typical operating temperature.
Of course, SLI and Crossfire is not the majority of the populus. Dual processor even less so, so you are correct in the statement that most PSU's are "oversized" for many people.
But that brings me back to the point Christoph made; "Most users don't need even 650W, but it's more difficult to find good quality PSUs in the 300-500W range." This is TRUE. Yes, the Antec EarthWatts 500W is "adequate," but you're fooling yourself if you think it's near the quality of a CWT built Corsair, Thermaltake or Xigmatek. It's not cost effective to make these higher wattage, higher quality units in lower wattages and then price them to be competitive with "it'll do" units like the low end Seasonics. Again, is the Seasonic adequate power? Yes. If not stressed over long periods will they last seemingly forever? Probably. But the better quality units are in fact in the higher wattage range. Reply
yyrkoon - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkHi Jonny, Just going by what Christopher said, it would sound like a lot of systems could(possibly) not even come close to stressing a 500W PSU. I myself even bought a video card thinking of this(nv 7600GT). SO with an E6550 overclocked to 2.8Ghz, 2GB of DDR @ 2.0v, a CD/DVD burner, 7600GT , with 5HDDs how much power could I even be using ? Under a full load I doubt it would be much more than 300W, even if I had all my drives hammered at once(which never happens). Not only that, I use a reverse ATX case where the PSU sits on the bottom of the case, and draws air in from the bottom. Am I the norm ? Probably not, but I am sure there are many others who take all these things into consideration before building a system.
Sure, hardcore enthusiasts who *must* have dual - quad GPUs will need lots of power, but I think if someone were to take an *accurate* poll, these users could not possibly make up for more than %5 of total computer users out there(and it is probably much lower than that).
Now, if you are THE Jonny Guru, I must say keep up the good work, I based my PSU buying decision partially on your review of the EarthWATTS 500. It has not let me down yet, and going from past experience, I doubt it will any time in the near future(for the next couple of years anyhow). Reply
jonnyGURU - Friday, February 22, 2008 - linkAgain, I never said that SLI or even a single high end graphics card is "the norm." No offense, but you only have a 7600GT. Not a high end graphics card and certainly not something that requires more than a 500W PSU. Heck... a 400W PSU. But that's what either Chris or I are saying: If you want a really good quality PSU, you can't usually find them in the lower wattage. It's simply not cost effective to spend $100 on the BOM to build a top notch PSU only to have to compete with other "it'll do" PSU's that sell for under $100!
I didn't necessarily say that anyone NEEDS these high quality PSU's, regardless of wattage, but do people really NEED to drive Jaguars, Lexus or Infiniti? No. They don't. But if you WANT a high quality PSU, regardless of what you're powering with it, what's wrong with going out and getting a 650W, 800W or even 1000W to get that kind of quality? Who are we to tell people how to spend their money? Reply
yyrkoon - Saturday, February 23, 2008 - linkCan not say I agree with your Car<->PSU analogy. A luxury car is not necessarily better, and in the case of Jaguar, there are several 'lesser' manufacturers who make twice the car, for half as much. I do understand what you meant, and mean by quality PSUs.
Oh, and 'no offense' taken on the 7600GT, most people do not realize that if you're only playing on a 19" LCD @ 1440x900, that you do not NEED a freeking $500usd GFX card. It'll play just about any title fine, and most of the games I run are set at maximum settings. I also wont move to Vista, and Directx 10 anytime soon . . . Reply
yyrkoon - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkHeh, sorry couldn't resist, although I suspect the Antec was manufactured by Seasonic, couldn't say for sure on the others. Anyhow . . .
" Most users don't need even 650W, but it's more difficult to find good quality PSUs in the 300-500W range, "
Antec EarhWATTS 500, using it myself, works very good, and is manufactured by Seasonic(or so I have read). Its also selling for less than $50 at newegg last I checked. Seasonic also makes a nice 500W'rs I think.
You guys said something about Seasonic pioneering the no frills look, and efficiency etc, and they started building PSUs in 2002 ? No idea, but I've read that PC Power and Cooling has been around since the 80's, and these have been their 'trademarks'. Assuming what I am saying here is accurate, I find it funny that you would mention these things about Seasonic as though they were the original OEM to have this philosophy. Reply
HOOfan 1 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkPC Power and Cooling is not an OEM...their PSUs are made by other companies...one of them being Seasonic and yes the Antec NeoPower is made by Seasonic. Reply
HOOfan 1 - Thursday, February 21, 2008 - linkalso the only two Seasonic units in that group are teh Seasonic and the Antec the Thermaltake, Xigmatek and Hiper are all CWT..they even state that in the article if you read it. Reply

Side Event: Statement by Ambassador Thoms at the Launch of the Guidance Note on Attacks on Schools and Hospitals
(as delivered:)
"Madam Special Representative,
Dear colleagues,
Ladies and gentlemen,
It is a great pleasure to be here today to witness the launch of the guidance note on attacks against schools and hospitals.
As former Chair of the Security Council working group on Children and Armed Conflict this issue is of utmost importance to us. In this regard, we very much welcome the steps taken to operationalize this important resolution, which was initiated by Germany and adopted during our Presidency of the Council in July 2011.
It needs to be said, however, that the negotiations were not easy. In fact, they were more controversial and acrimonious than we had foreseen, with a consensus virtually unsure until the day of adoption by the Council. First, there was the usual unease by some Member States with regard to thematic issues on the Council's agenda. Others were of the opinion that the UN system was already overburdened and should not be tasked with another trigger to monitor. Still others had doubts about the broad formulations in the resolution and the practical steps to be taken. During the negotiations, also the child protection mandate as a whole came under attack, especially the scope of country situations to be monitored.
As Chair we finally managed - with the help of other countries in the Council – to maintain the integrity of the SRSG's mandate and to find compromise formulations acceptable to all. There was also agreement to include credible threats as part of the trigger. This was an important step forward as it allows the UN to monitor all relevant elements of protecting education and health of children in armed conflict.
Resolution 1998 closed a gap in the protection system. This new trigger is very different from previously established triggers on sexual violence, killing, maiming and recruitment of children. Attacks on schools and hospitals are much more complex in their violation of International Humanitarian Law. The new guidelines are therefore an important advocacy tool for raising awareness of the legal provisions among parties to conflict, governments as well as UN staff reporting on these violations.
The new guidance note gives clear instructions on monitoring and reporting. It is only when we have a clear picture of what is happening on the ground that we can take adequate action and advocate necessary to create change.
We very much welcome the collaborative spirit in which these guidelines have been developed and the impressive outcome. UNICEF, WHO and UNESCO are important entities in the reporting on such attacks, and related advocacy and their involvement and cooperation is crucial.
The guidance note is very specific and user-friendly. Many examples are given for specific action, giving concrete answers to questions one might have in the field. More reporting on this grave violation will allow us to better understand the root causes and to help us find ways and means to improve the lives of children in many countries affected by armed conflict. Education and health are THE prerequisites for a child to grow up safely, and they build the groundwork for a life in dignity.
I hope that UN staff in the field, UN member states and NGOs will find this tool helpful and use it in their daily work.
I thank you."

Great comfortable bed and clean room. Was charged $30 euro 'late check in' fee by the person welcoming us, aka, drinking money for the night. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone but the location is great.
- Rooms were OK, almost comfortable
- Things were clean enough
- Bit out of the city center, but the distances are not long, so still OK. - The breakfast is OK, but it is basically a lot of bread. Kind of nice coffee though.
- It is not so easy to find.
Had a great stay. The staff is extra friendly and the place has a realy lively atmosphere. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Made my stay in Milano.
Breakfast, sizes of the room.

The country is divided into eight circuits for the purposes of the Circuit Court.
The Circuit Court consists of the President of the Court and 37 ordinary judges.
One Circuit Judge is assigned to each circuit, except in the case of the Dublin and Cork Circuits. Ten judges can be assigned to the Dublin Circuit and 3 to the Cork Circuit.
The President of the Circuit Court, who is also an additional Judge of the High Court, has the duty of ensuring an equitable distribution of the work of the Circuit Court amongst the several judges and the prompt despatch of business.
Under the Personal Insolvency Act 2012 provision was made for a maximum of 8 new specialist judges to facilitate the speedy consideration of insolvency applications.
The Circuit Court is a court of local and limited jurisdiction. It is restricted as to which cases it can decide in both civil and criminal matters.
Under Part 3 of the Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2013 the monetary jurisdiction of the Circuit Court increased to €75,000 (was €38,092.14) with effect from 3 February 2014. For personal injury actions the limit is €60,000.
A Circuit Court cannot hear a case that has not been commenced in the correct County.
The case must be brought, heard and decided in the County
Civil cases in the Circuit Court are tried by a judge sitting without a jury.
The Circuit Court is restricted to hearing cases where the damages or compensation sought do not exceed a certain amount.
The Circuit Court has jurisdiction, i.e., it can hear and decide cases:
In criminal matters, the Circuit Court Judge sits with a jury of twelve. A verdict need not be unanimous in a case where there are not fewer than eleven jurors if ten of them agree on a verdict after considering the case for a reasonable time (not less than two hours).
The criminal jurisdiction is exercised by the judge of the Circuit in which
However, the Circuit Judge may transfer a criminal trial from one part of his/her Circuit to another.
On application by the Director of Public Prosecutions or the accused, the Circuit Judge may, if satisfied that it would be manifestly unjust not to do so, transfer the trial from the Circuit Court sitting outside of the Dublin Circuit to the Dublin Circuit Court.
The Constitution specifies that all non-minor offences must, in general, involve a trial with a jury.
All minor criminal cases are heard in the District Court summarily (i.e., without a jury). The Circuit Court has the jurisdiction to hear all non-minor offences, except murder, rape, aggravated sexual assault, treason, piracy and related offences.

Saint Leo, Fla. (October 12, 2006) – The Saint Leo University volleyball team (17-6, 5-4 SSC) defeated Puerto Rico Rio-Piedras (12-3) on Thursday night in a five-game thriller at the Bowman Center. The Lions won by the scores of 27-30, 30-23, 27-30, 30-27 and 15-10.
Saint Leo's comeback was ignited by senior outside hitter Erin Oberlin (Naples, Fla.) and junior middle back Liz Moore (Minnetonka, Minn.). Oberlin contributed 13 kills and hit an astounding .545. Moore added 7 kills and hit .636. Saint Leo hit .268 as a team and had 14.5 blocks.
The Lions were able to take control of the match in game four, by storming back from a 13-6 deficit, to take the lead at 23-22. They were then able to rattle off 7 of the next 12 points to clinch game four. Saint Leo was able to ride the momentum of the fourth game win to seal the match with a 15-10 scoreline in favor of the Lions in the deciding game.
Saint Leo remains at home on Tuesday, October 17 for a matchup with Seton Hill University (7:00 p.m.). The game will be broadcast live on saintleolions.com.

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Koby Clemens is signing with the Sugar Land Skeeters and will debut Friday night when his father, Roger Clemens, makes his second appearance pitching for the team, sources confirmed with KPRC Local 2 Sports on Wednesday.
Koby will be the catcher as his father pitches.
"This is cool stuff. Having Koby, my oldest son, back there to catch a game will be great. Glad he's getting the opportunity to do so," Roger Clemens told KPRC Local 2. "We had the opportunity to work alongside each other a few years back, but never as a pitcher/catcher. Looking forward to this."
Local 2 has learned that Koby plans to remain with the Skeeters for the remainder of this season.
Friday's Skeeters game is a sell-out at Constellation Field.
"We will have many special guests there to watch. Thanks, again, Sugar Land," Roger Clemens said.
The Skeeters organization has not commented on the move.
Seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens, 50, debuted for the Skeeters on Aug. 25, pitching three and a third scoreless innings against the Bridgeport Bluefish. It was his first professional game in five years.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
People tend to get distracted from their goals by negative thoughts or worrying about what could go wrong. For example, if your goal is to clean your garage, you might say to yourself, "What's the point, it will just get messy again." Or, "I'll never get this done today. I'll do it when I have more time." These negative thoughts prevent you from seeing the true goal.
The next time you have an unpleasant task to complete, make a note of any negative thoughts that arise. Try to counter each negative thought with something positive. You could say, "It won't get messy again if I put in place an organization scheme that works." Or "Maybe I can't get this all done today, but I could get the left side of the garage finished today and then I could park my car inside." Picking an appropriate goal and keeping negative thoughts from distracting you will make it easer to stay motivated.

Miss You Always<3
Miss you and thinking of you on your birthday. I wish you were here.
I still can't believe you are gone. It is going to be nine years soon since you left, but I think about you almost every day.
Miss you very much on this your birthday.

We met while working at Rickles, he was a cashier and I worked in the linen department. He was great guy and my first love.
We use to go clubbing all he time and would occasionally bring his sister with us.
Thinking of you always, Gary, as everyone in your family does, and especially now as we reach the 10th anniversary of your passing. Visited your resting place yesterday and saw the hyacinths were already growing. Would you have been embarrassed to know I couldn't stop crying yesterday at the cemetery, or that I was crying for you on the way home? Uncle Richie
Maxine, thank you for sharing a story about Gary. I hope you can share more with us. Uncle Richie.

A Tuscan villa on the market for $5.19 million in Coto de Caza is this year's Philharmonic House of Design.
The annual event raises money for the Philharmonic Society's youth music education programs. Tours of the property, at which various Orange County and Los Angeles designers showcase their work, will be offered April 23 through May 19.
The villa, at 23181 Pradera Road in Los Ranchos Estates, was built in 2010, according to the listing. The 7,100-square-foot home is on more than two acres. The residence has five bedroom suites and six bathrooms, five fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, breakfast nook and walk-in pantry, as well as a temperature-controlled wine cellar, family room, bonus room and library.
The expansive grounds have a large motor court, saltwater pool, Mediterranean gardens and an outdoor entertainment area including a covered loggia with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in barbecue with counter seating. The home has a six-car garage.
Mariann Cordova of Prudential California Realty is the listing agent. The home was priced at $6.77 million in October 2010, according to Redfin.com. The asking price has gone up since a December 2011 listing at $4.95 million.
Tour tickets, which go on sale in early March, are $40 for one day or $50 for a pass. The tour also will offer an on-site cafe.
Last year, the Philharmonic Design House effort raised $250,000 from tours of a Laguna Beach estate.
The Coto house will not be directly accessible to visitors. Those taking the tour will be transported by shuttles.
A premiere night on April 20 will feature a showing of the house with food, cocktails and entertainment.
