Hey everyone! I can finally spill the beans on a project I've been working on with my friends (who also blog) Ivory and Elann! We've just released the Los Angeles+Lookbook! First of all, I will admit I'm not a model and don't think I am. LOL! But, I was a good sport for this project!
We pulled a lot of the pieces from our own closets, but we did have help from IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel, Sonsi, Lane Bryant, and Mynt 1792. As you'll see below, we wore looks representing career, fall trends, casual, and holiday looks.
What I love more than anything is being able to show you all three different body types and sizes. We all wore outfits that reflected our own personal styles. We hope you like it and if there's something you see in the lookbook that's not noted just leave us a comment below and we'll tell you where we got it!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your constant love and support!! XOXO

The fifth generation of Pokemon continues even further with the release of Pokemon Black and White 2! New adventures await in the Unova region, with a brand new plot and new features! Set two years after Pokemon Black and White, new locations and Pokemon from previous generations have appeared. Does this new installment stand above the original? Check out this review roundup for some thoughts about the game. Be sure to reply and let us know what you think once you start your adventure!
1. Loved it
Score: 9.6/10
Pokémon Black Version 2 is far more than a traditional mid-generation release, with enough new and repurposed content to keep you occupied for months on end. It offers an addicting, expertly crafted and glorious realization of turn-based role-playing at its best, and functions as the most complete and balanced Pokémon game yet, as well as the full realization of what a 2D Pokémon adventure should look, feel and play like.
Score: A
BW2 does a fair amount to shake up familiar territory. Although you're tramping through the same Unova region as in B&W, the battle gyms have been redesigned, towns have changed, and new trainers have taken up the cause. The changes are widespread enough that when you come across something that remains totally unchanged, the consistency stands in stark contast to the way the rest of the game world has been treated.
Score: 4/5
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 feel like the "true" versions of Black and White, much as Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum felt like the real versions of their respective generations. It has more Pokémon, better post-game content and, apart from a few added perks like the aforementioned Memory Link, largely renders the original games unnecessary. Whether returning fans should pick up Black and White 2, meanwhile, depends entirely on whether you're burned out on Pokémon yet…., you already know whether or not you're ready to slog through another eight badges and get back to catching them all.
2. Thought it was OK
Score: 7.5/10
Black and White 2 represent a perfectly adequate, even addictive sequel that falls a bit short short of its full potential. Then again, at some point, a giant, flying, solar-powered pirate ship shows up and freezes whole cities with an ice laser. So... take the good with the bad.
Escapist Magazine:
Score: 3.5/5
There are times when Pokemon Black and White Version 2 feel a little too familiar, especially when you're exploring the same towns, roads, and caves from the previous game. Once you assemble a solid team and start earning gym badges, though, you won't care. The series' trademark charm and addictive challenges will make you want to keep playing, and you might have trouble putting down your system as you pursue the next opponent, next gym badge, or next legendary Pokemon.
Game Informer:
Score: 7.50/10
This latest entry benefits from the long line of previous releases that have iterated on and perfected the original Pokémon games that released in 1998…So many little things make these games fun that it's tempting to forgive their stubborn opposition to experimentation, but the lack of innovation is disappointing. I know that is a common complaint about Pokémon these days, but it has been earned through years of Nintendo and Game Freak sticking to the same formula. Black and White Version 2 has a title that is usually reserved for sequels that adds new features and expand the experience, but it doesn't live up to that promise.

Hi everyone - what kind of traffic does your site get - page views and/or unique visitors? If your site has been up a while, what was traffic like the first few months? and when did you see growth?
I launched an art blog on 9/24 and have been actively building back-links, etc., and the site is averaging 65 page views/day, but don't have a clue if that's low or high. Would love to hear what others experience.
now days free blog promotion is very tough. because its takes too much hard work and less ROI. So better to start new site.
okay, but that's too bad. There's a post on the forum where a lot of people share how much $ they make, which I imagine varies based on keywords/niche too. I thought sharing historical traffic #s would be interesting for myself and others. If not, that's okay.
All are coming from Google Search Results. I am not so interested in traffic coming from social networking sites. Working on SEO for my blogs guarantees a decent traffic from Google.
The amount of traffic highly depends on your keywords/niche. So there is no point to share some numbers here, I think.
I have a free blog on SEO and I am getting regular 50-60 unique visitors from Google.
I just said, that the amount of traffic highly depends on the niche etc.For example I've a blog which is doing 1000uv/day and have an other which only 50
i get most of my traffic from google search, followed by traffic from SN sites...
most of traffic comes from the google...
my blog get only search engine traffic.. want to increase it
For the early part, my blog mostly gets spam. However, once I was able to establish its presence, I started to get relevant traffic.
Since I posted this thread/question, my pageviews have declined, maybe because friends were checking the site in the first few weeks driving traffic up. The google referrals seem to fluctuate a lot, and sometimes I get one user who looks at 30-40 pages and drives traffic up a lot (I'm not complaining though:)). When I add links to reddit I get a lot of hits, but I don't think the quality is good because they're probably not return users and probably stay on the site for a few seconds.
Thanks for everyone who shared so far and hope to hear more about other experiences.
I've got a photoshop blog, I haven't updated it in about 10 months, but it regularly get's over 1,000 uniques a day. By far the most traffic comes from google, and I think it's because I've had some quite popular posts on there - so good content - which has got a good number of natural back links which has resulted in higher search engine positions for some keywords.
It really depends on the niche you are pursuing...
Maximum traffic for my blog is coming from the keywords search in Google search engine,and yeah about 20,30 % of my blogs traffic is coming through social media site as well.
My blog mainly get's Google traffic from it's main keyword. This keyword provides me with good traffic from BING YAHOO and of course the big G Google.
I've found that the social bookmarking sites send low quality traffic. Reddit is particularly bad.In the long term, I get only occasional single visitors from Reddit, Digg, Delicious and even Stumbleupon. Stumble can be really hit and miss. Sometimes I'll bookmark a page on SU and get a rash of visitors for about an hour or two- although the CTR for my ads is generally zero from this traffic.My best traffic, also with the best CTR, comes from Google, Wikipedia and one particular site that has picked up my link of its own accord sending hundreds of visitors each month.In general I get only 50 to 70 visits each day but I put that down to my commitment to only use free promotion techniques and I've never paid for links or traffic, not even CPC. It's only a hobby, so plenty of scope for development to keep me busy.
I keep learning new things, since I posted about the poor quality traffic from Reddit, I learned how to improve the quality somewhat. Since I have an art website, instead of posting the links to the main reddit.com, I now post to the 'art' group or 'graffiti' and more of the referrals seem to be spending time on the site (plus I'm getting more link karma points), so finding the right niche has helped.
@cmdweb, I'm curious about how you get traffic from Wikipedia? Was your organization or site listed there by someone else or did you submit something that they accepted?
I wrote one article in particular which explained a subject in quite simple terms and pointed out the importance of it (sorry if I'm being vague, but don't want to have specifics out there on this subject) which has been ref'd to by a few sites in the same niche. In what was a bold, but ultimately fruitful move, I added it as an external ref to the relevant wiki page - taking heart from the ref's it had received elsewhere. It seems to have been accepted by the 'defenders of the wiki faith' as it is a good article and there aren't that many out there on this subject that approach it in the manner I did.I get shed loads of traffic from it (in comparison to my other sources). The key is that it does actually add something to the wiki content. I've had lots of other links deleted for not being 'authoritative' enough. Also, all the scrapers out there just repackaging wiki content mean it gets linked to from all over the web.It's not a case of having 'them' accept content. The key really is in producing something can be seen as definitive or authoritative. The defenders as I refer to them are really you and I - anyone who wants to caretake a page. Some are more critical than others. Some are downright nazis, but at the end of the day, you need to be adding a link with something to offer. Spam links last literally seconds.
I get traffic from Google and Google Adwords, after I bought the host from goddaddy, got some free coupons for adwords and facebook.

PyMuTester is tool to facilitate Mutant Testing (a.k.a Mutant Analysis or Program Mutation) on software systems written in Python. Its main purpose is to assist you in improving your existing unit tests to cover missing checks and "loopholes" in your testing. It works by making small changes (technically known as mutants) to your Python application's source code and re-running your unit tests over these mutated applications' source code. Since the mutants usually go against the specifications, your unit tests should fail in such tests. If the unit tests still pass, then that is an indication that your unit tests might have missed some checks.
OpenLaszlo Schema Generator provides methods to enhance LZX-Markup from the OpenLaszlo RIA with full schema/namespace support and validation. You can run it from the command line or from inside your project using ANT. The JAR contains tasks to generate an XSD from your project LZX files; by doing that, you have full Schema Validation in Eclipse, and it will show you all your XML schema errors. The validation is aware of ALL tags and attributes: the LZX base components (+incubator) and your project specific code. Further, you get content-sensitive drop down menus for Tags and Attributes.
Overthere is a Java library to manipulate files and execute processes on remote hosts, i.e. do stuff "over there". It was built for and is used in the XebiaLabs deployment automation product Deployit as a way to perform tasks on remote hosts, e.g. copy configuration files, install EAR files, or restart Web servers. Another way of looking at it is to say that Overthere gives you java.io.File and java.lang.Process as they should have been: as interfaces, created by a factory and extensible through an SPI mechanism.
PirateWall is a simple Twitter Client. It displays search results for a certain keyword or hashtag in realtime in a shell-based environment. It can also be configured to act as a data provider for many different visualization tools. For example, it is possible to use the client as a text generator for many XScreensaver applications like "apple2" or "starwars". When used in a Unix shell environment, colorized output can be generated.
uimaFIT provides Java annotations for describing UIMA components which can be used to directly describe the UIMA components in Java code without the need for traditional UIMA XML descriptors. This greatly simplifies refactoring a component definition (e.g., changing a configuration parameter name). uimaFIT also makes it easy to instantiate UIMA components without using XML descriptor files by providing convenient factory methods. This makes uimaFIT an ideal library for testing UIMA components because the component can be easily instantiated and invoked without requiring a descriptor file to be created first. uimaFIT is very useful in research environments in which programmatic/dynamic instantiation of UIMA pipelines can simplify experimentation. For example, when performing 10-fold cross-validation across a number of experimental conditions, it can be quite laborious to create a different set of descriptor files for each run, or even a script which generates such descriptor files. uimaFIT is type system agnostic and does not depend on (or provide) a specific type system. This project has been superseded by the Apache uimaFIT project.
Evo Class Index is an annotation processor that at compile-time generates an index of classes implementing a given interface, classes annotated by given annotation, or placed in a common package. Its small run-time performance impact makes it an interesting alternative to any annotation scanning library like Reflections or Scannotations. The generated indexes are compatible with the ServiceLoader framework, so you will never need to create the files in META-INF/services by hand.
RCSSmin is a CSS minifier. The implementation is based on the semantics of the YUI compressor, but aiming for speed instead of maximum compression so that it can be used at runtime rather than during a preprocessing step. rCSSmin does syntactical compression only (removing spaces, comments, and possibly semicolons). It does not provide semantic compression (like removing empty blocks, collapsing redundant properties etc). It does, however, support various CSS hacks (by keeping them working as intended).
QuickDic parses data from en.wiktionary.org and Beolingus to generate dictionary files that can be used offline. It currently has built-in dictionaries from English to: German (Deutsch - Englisch), Italian (inglese - italiano), Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Chinese|Mandarin|Cantonese, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, French, Greek, Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Malay, Maori, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Slovak, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tajik, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish, and Zulu.
tools4j-config supports long-running enterprise Java applications with a framework for handling configuration changes without restarting. It also aids in developing applications which are decoupled from knowing how and where to store, retrieve, and validate configurations. The aim is to liberate applications to use configurations seamlessly on the terms of their particular environment, without constraining them to Java SE, EE, OSGi, Spring, CDI, or any other programming model or framework.
The Geomajas API project contains some annotations that can be used to indicate which parts (which classes and which (public) methods or fields) are considered as the API. This is particularly useful for projects where you want to mark the API without the need to refactor everything to interfaces and factories.
A Webmail system based on IMAP.
A PHP class to authorize and access APIs using OAuth 1.0, 1.0a, and OAuth 2.0.

· The Blueshirts have posted a record of 32-32-9 (73 pts.) on the season, including a 16-17-6 (38 pts.) mark at home.
· New York tallied two power play goals in six attempts, and has now registered nine goals in 43 attempts over the last 10 games (20.9%). In the last 10 games at MSG, the Rangers have notched 13 goals in 45 power play opportunities (28.9%).
· Marian Gaborik notched two goals and added one assist for his team-high 24th multi-point performance of the season, and his ninth game with three-or-more points.

· Jody Shelley registered his first point at MSG as a Blueshirt, and has posted a plus or even rating in each of his 12 games as a Ranger.
· The Rangers will conclude their 11th of 13 back-to-back sets tomorrow, Mar. 25, when they will face-off against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center (7:00 p.m.), in an Atlantic Division matchup; the game will be televised live on MSG Network and can be heard on 1050 ESPN Radio.
John Tortorella on the team's play… "Obviously, he (Gaborik) is an important guy but a lot of guys contributed tonight here. To me, that was the most important thing, you just want them to feel good about themselves. We know we have a hill to climb but if they can be loose and feel good about themselves and just allow themselves to play we will take our chance with it that way. I am just glad with the way we played and won a hockey game."
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight's game… "When you get a win like this, you start to feel it again. It has been a while since we have had this feeling. The only thing we can do right now is continue to battle and fight. Tomorrow is a big opportunity for us. We play a great team but hopefully we match their game and maybe we can play better than we did today."
Dan Girardi on tonight's game… "We did a real good job. We generated a lot of offense. It's one game at a time for us. It's desperate times right now for us. We need a lot of wins."

PC companies just can't get a break.
Shipments from the Taiwanese manufactures that make most of the world's desktop and laptop computers hit a three-year low last quarter as consumers waited for fixes to Windows and decided to buy tablets and smartphones in the meantime. For those Taiwanese companies, those disappointing stats are one more reminder of the need to diversify away from their core PC business.

This Saturday marks 50 days until the Big Lunch - the UK's annual get-together for neighbours - on Sunday, June 1.
The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project, to get as many of the 63 million people in the UK as possible to have lunch with their neighbours once a year.
Big Lunches can be any size or shape and can take place anywhere where neighbours can get together, from streets and gardens to parks, allotments and community centres.
The key ingredient to any Big Lunch is people, as those who take part help to create friendlier communities where residents start sharing more, from conversations to ideas, skills and resources.
With 50 days to go, there is still time for people to start planning. To help make the process easy, The Big Lunch has created free packs, which include posters, invitations, an inspiration booklet and other materials to help people get started.
Last year Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, came to Trowbridge's The Mead Community Primary School for a cuppa and slice of cake to mark their first ever Big Lunch. She was taken for a tour of The Big Community Grow gardens at the school, in Hackett Place, Hilperton, talking to children and planting a Jubilee oak tree,
For anyone with ideas, big or small, packs can be requested online at www.thebiglunch.com where there is plenty of additional advice on practical questions such as contacting the council to close a road.
Caroline Davies-Khan, who helped organise a Big Lunch in Swindon, said: "The day was really enjoyable and it was lovely to see people of all ages getting to know each other better.
"Some of the people who came to The Big Lunch ended up chatting to neighbours who they'd never even met before."
Research shows that that there are many benefits to having a Big Lunch.
More than 60 per cent of organisers say having an event in their community made them feel less isolated and 86 per cent of the 3.65 million people that took part in last year's Big Lunch reported a positive long-term effect in their neighbourhood as a result.
Sir Tim Smit KBE, Founding Director, Eden Project and co-Founder The Big Lunch said: "The Big Lunch is all about getting together and having fun.
"It doesn't have to be a big event, even a small get-together in your garden or on your street is a great way to get neighbours talking, sharing conversation, skills, resources – and, of course, the vital ingredient – food.
"It's not too late to take part in this year's event on June 1 so why not sign up now for your free pack and get your own event started."
The Big Lunch is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and partnered by Halifax, ASDA and StreetClub by B&Q.

Did you know?
The dunes at Witsand Nature Reserve roar as a result of air escaping between the round, uniform-shaped granules, which build up static electricity and friction.
At the Witsand Nature Reserve the dunes literally roar.
At certain times of year they can be heard from 5km away; much like the roar of the great black-maned Kalahari lions of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
Both reserves are part of the Roaring Kalahari Route in the Northern Cape, a Northern Cape Tourism Authority route of attractions which typically starts either in Kuruman or Kimberley (which has an airport).
From Kimberley, head 140km west to Griquatown or Griekwastad, home to Earth Treasures, a small gemstone factory where you can watch gemstones being polished.
You can also visit the Mary Moffat Museum in the main street. Mary Moffat, who grew up in Griquatown, was the wife of legendary 19th Century explorer David Livingstone.
From here, journey 120km to the 3500ha Witsand Nature Reserve, where you can hike, dune surf, hire mountain bikes or travel the Kalahari Mountain View 4x4 route on a neighbouring farm.
Spend at least two days at Witsand Nature Reserve, and book a guided walk with a field guide. This way your eyes will be opened to animals that few ever see, such as the elusive nocturnal aardwolf and aardvark, and the common barking gecko, source of that characteristic soundtrack of Kalahari evenings.
You can then head the 110km to Groblershoop and visit the Orange River Wine Cellars and a private game ranch, Thuru Lodge, which offers a spa, horse trails and game drives.
In the same area is Kheis Riverside Lodge on the Orange River, which attracts anglers from far and wide. The birdwatching is superb, too.
Head about 120km from there to Upington, take a ferry ride on the Orange River and visit the Augrabies Falls.
The Twee Rivieren camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is your next stop, 250km from Upington. The park offers a wondrous variety of desert plants, and bird and animal species, including the Kalahari lion.
After visiting the park, head about 200km east to Van Zylsrus, Hotazel and Kathu, where you can enjoy a round of golf on an oasis of an 18-hole course, shaded by camelthorn trees.
A further 50km takes you to Kuruman.
There are superb game ranches, guest lodges, caves, paintings and iron-ore mines on the Roaring Kalahari Route. But most important of all is the chance to take in the silence of the Kalahari and its desert magic.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Witsand Nature Reserve
Cell: +27 (0)83 234 7573
Email: email@example.com
How to get here
Fly or drive to Kimberley, 480km from Johannesburg. Or drive to Kuruman, 520km from Johannesburg. You can then self-drive from Kimberley or Kuruman.
Best time to visit
All year round, but bear in mind that summers (October to March) are particularly hot. It can get very cold in winter (June and July in particular), often dropping to below zero at night, but the days are usually warm and sunny.
Around the area
Your hosts at each stop will advise on all the activities in the area.
Get around
It's best to drive yourself on the Roaring Kalahari Route. Sedans are suitable for most parts of the route, but there are 4x4 routes and dirt roads, so a 4x4 would be ideal.
What will it cost
Activities and accommodation along the way varies to suit all pockets.
Length of stay
Take at least 1 week to do the Roaring Kalahari Route.
What to pack
Always carry plenty of drinking water. Also take hats, walking shoes, binoculars, warm and cool clothing, swimming gear, and fishing gear.
Where to stay
There is a choice of game reserves, lodges and guest farms along the route.
What to eat
Most establishments en route serve food. Self-catering options are also available, so stock up when you pass through towns. Most of the nature or game reserves also offer certain foodstuffs in their stores.This would be a good time to try out local foods like springbok biltong (spiced wind-dried meat).

10 Years Ago: Fleetwood Mac Release 'Say You Will'
After the huge comeback success of the live reunion album, 'The Dance,' in 1997, Fleetwood Mac were back in a big way. The obvious questions started flying, asking about the chances of a new Mac LP. In spite of a short round of drama, they answered that question with the full-flying 'Say You Will, ' which was released on April 15, 2003. The album marked the return of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to the clan, but also saw the departure of mainstay Christine McVie.
After the 1987 'Tango In The Night' LP, Buckingham left the band to concentrate on his solo career. The Mac soldiered on and issued two more albums, 'Behind The Mask' (1990) and 'Time (1995), by which time Nicks had also split. The 1997 reunion set the stage for big things to come, but following the tour, Christine McVie made the decision to retire. Buckingham, Nicks, John McVie and Mick Fleetwod regrouped as a four-piece to put an album together. Fortunately, they already had a head start.
Lindsey Buckingham had been working on a solo album since the late-'90s and had, in fact, called up his old band mate McVie and Fleetwood to play on a few tracks. A planned album titled 'Gift Of Screws' never materialized (the title was used for his 2008 solo set), but tracks from that batch of recordings found a home on 'Say You Will,' and after a little tweaking, became full-fledged Fleetwood Mac songs.
'Miranda,' 'Red Rover,' 'Come,' 'Steal Your Heart Away' and 'Murrow Turning Over In His Grave' — all classic Buckingham tracks — are from those solo sessions. In 'Murrow,' Buckingham's wired and haunting vocal derides the state of media, and coupled with some equally haunting and fiery guitar work, the song just soars. 'Steal Your Heart Away' is the hit that got away. It's pure Fleetwood Mac pop that begged for radio play, but alas, was not to be. Ditto for the LP's title track, written by Stevie Nicks. 'Say You Will' shows Nicks off in her signature style and though it just missed the Top 20, it proved the band were back in top form.
'Come' is a very heavy and very harsh rocker that borders on psychotic. Buckingham really lets his demons lose here, delivering a blistering guitar solo, while 'Red Rover' shows off a more gentle and intricate guitar style from the man. Meanwhile, other amazing gems like 'Miranda' and 'Bleed To Love Her' proved that the songwriting fountain of Buckingham was far from dry. The songs on 'Say You Will' rank with his best.
That's not to say it's all Lindsey's show here. Miss Nicks puts forth a heaping batch of her own pearls here like 'Silver Girl,' 'Smile At You,' and the dynamic 'Destiny Rules,' which is one of the best tracks on the album. It's a long record, with 18 tracks that clock in at well over an hour.
'Say You Will' hit No. 3 on Billboard and made it to 'Gold' status. Though a far cry from the mega-billion and counting sales of 'Rumours,' it was definitely a solid showing commercially. Artistically, however, it was a genuine triumph.
The four-piece version of Fleetwood Mac are still together and on the road, but have said that another album might not be in their collective future again. If 'Say You Will' were to be the last full-length album the band ever release, it certainly qualifies them as going out on a high note.

THE job of Shellharbour City Mayor could again come down to one vote next Tuesday night, with independent councillors likely to make the final call.
Incumbent Liberal Mayor Kellie Marsh will go up against Labor counterpart and deputy mayor Marianne Saliba.
The seven councillors will vote at an extraordinary meeting.
If the three Labor and two Liberal councillors vote along party lines as expected, independents Helen Stewart and Peter Moran will again decide who will take the reins for the next 12 months.
At the initial vote following the new council's election last September, Cr Marsh defeated Cr Saliba 4-3.
Cr Marsh said she thoroughly enjoyed the role and thrived on the diversity of the workload.
''Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be in this position,'' she said.
''I'm a mum and a community advocate and I'm thrilled the community have put their faith in me.''
Cr Marsh said her biggest fear on being elected mayor was her inexperience, but she believed this had also been an advantage.
''I was new and I think the community wanted a fresh face,'' she said.
''I didn't have any preconceived ideas and wasn't caught up in past squabbles. I just hope councillors look at my track record for the past 12 months.
''I knew it would be a hard job and have stepped up to the plate.''
Cr Saliba was state Member for Illawarra from 1999-2007 and has served on numerous
parliamentary committees.
''I feel the city needs good leadership,'' she said.
''It takes more than saying 'yes' to everyone to be a leader.''
She said the previous Labor-dominated, dysfunctional council was in the past.
''I was not a part of the previous council. We're not controlled by any political party,'' Cr Saliba said.
''My style of leadership is very different. I feel it's important to have a collaborative approach.
''I think she (Cr Marsh) has done as well as she could, given it was her first time on council and going straight in without being experienced as mayor.''
Both Cr Moran and Cr Stewart were still undecided about their votes.
Cr Moran has already met with Cr Marsh and planned to discuss issues he had with the Labor Party with Cr Saliba.
He believed Cr Stewart would back Cr Marsh, giving him the deciding vote.
''If I didn't support Marianne for mayor this year, I'd be almost certain to support her next year,'' he said.
''The Labor and Liberal parties are the largest voting blocks in the community, and both should have an opportunity to be mayor in this term.''
Cr Stewart said: ''Kellie was green as grass, but had no political baggage and has learnt a lot. I have to decide who will be the best to lead the city, regardless of politics.''

TheatreWorks Receives NEA Grant for New Works Initiative
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman announced yesterday that TheatreWorks is one of 832 non-profit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. TheatreWorks will receive a $30,000 grant to support the creation of new plays and musicals through the New Works Initiative. The 832 grant awards total $23.3 million and encompass 13 artistic disciplines and fields.
TheatreWorks embraced the entrepreneurial values of its home in Silicon Valley and codified its commitment to new works by launching the New Works Initiative in 2000. The program incorporates all stages of the development process, from readings and workshops to an annual Writer's Retreat, annual New Works Festival, and full productions of world premieres. The smash Broadway hit Memphis, which claimed the Tony Awards for "Best Musical," "Best Score," "Best Book," and "Best Orchestrations" and is now on a national tour, was first workshopped as a part of the 2002 TheatreWorks New Works Festival and made its world premiere at TheatreWorks in 2004. Many other plays and musicals developed under the New Works Initiative have been produced throughout the country, and several have made their way to the TheatreWorks main stage, including the world premiere of Paul Gordon's Being Earnest, opening this spring as part of TheatreWorks' 2012/2013 season.
Says composer Paul Gordon, "I consider myself extremely lucky that I have formed an artistic alliance with a theatre company that so profoundly understands the development process and is able to produce such high quality work year in and year out."
New Works Initiative activities for the 2012/2013 season include the world premiere productions of Upright Grand and Being Earnest, as well as a collaborative Writers Retreat, and the 12th annual New Works Festival in August 2013.
"New work is the lifeblood of the American theatre, and it is the heartbeat of TheatreWorks," says Founding Artistic Director Robert Kelley. "The NEA's commitment to the development of new work resonates throughout the country. We are immensely proud of its support for our New Works Initiative, annual Festival, and distinguished writers and composers who participate."
"I'm proud to announce these 832 grants to the American public including TheatreWorks' New Works Initiative," said Chairman Landesman. "These projects offer extraordinary examples of creativity in our country, including the creation of new work, innovative ways of engaging audiences, and exemplary education programs."
In March 2012, the NEA received 1,509 eligible applications for Art Works requesting more than $74 million in funding. The 832 recommended NEA grants total $23.3 million, span 13 artistic disciplines and fields, and focus primarily on the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing works for the benefit of American audiences. Applications were reviewed by panels of outside experts convened by NEA staff and each project was judged on its artistic excellence and artistic merit.
For a complete listing of projects recommended for Art Works grant support, please visit the NEA web site at arts.gov.
With some 100,000 patrons per year, TheatreWorks has captured a national reputation for artistic innovation and integrity, often presenting Bay Area theatregoers with their first look at acclaimed musicals, comedies, and dramas, directed by award-winning local and guest directors, and performed by professional actors cast locally and from across the country. A home for artists developing new works, it was at TheatreWorks that Memphis, the 2010 Tony Award-winning musical that is making its London premiere and returning to the Bay Area on its national tour this fall, was first workshopped and received its world premiere.

Message from the President
Welcome to Barnard. In the pages that follow, you will find a stunning array of choices – courses in literature and the arts, in anthropology and politics, in biochemistry, neuroscience, and physics. You will find lectures taught by world-renowned scholars and intimate seminars where faculty share their latest research and ideas. You will find classes on topics you have been wanting to study for years, and classes on topics that may never have crossed your mind.
The task before you is to choose – to pick, like the proverbial kid in a candy store, from the hundreds of options that lie waiting before you. It can be hard to know where to start, and how best to plot a course that will satisfy your own intellectual cravings. So I urge you to go slowly. Savor the possibilities that are in this catalogue and all of the offerings you will find bursting from the halls of Barnard. Choose some courses that promise to lead you where you want to go and some that lead nowhere in particular. Take at least one class in something you have always disliked, just to see if it changes your mind or at least opens a horizon you had not imagined before. Search for your passion in these pages, but don't be surprised if it sneaks up from elsewhere and finds you.
At Barnard, you will be able to immerse yourself in the joys and rigors of a classical liberal arts education, an education that will prompt you to explore the world from a variety of different perspectives and through the lenses of multiple disciplines. Your job is to decide how to fashion these perspectives into a world that makes sense to you and then, over time, how to shape your own role within it. Education is a journey that lasts a lifetime. I hope that your time at Barnard gives you the tools that you need to launch this adventure and the sheer joy that comes from undertaking it.
So choose well, revel in the options before you, and most importantly – enjoy.
Debora L. Spar
President, 2008-2017

On 23 March, the Polish internet magazine Interia.pl carried a report about Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation titled "An anti-Darwinist education book shocked the authorities:"
"The book has arrived at a number of Belgian schools. The authorities reacted quickly. Teachers and students were forbidden to make use of this book in schools… This work has long since been sent to French schools, and it has now had an impact on the Belgian education. With 800 photographs of fossils, the author describes how Darwinism is a fraud and how life forms have remained unchanged for millions of years."

Hunter Education courses offered throughout the state
With the Soccer World Cup decided, it is time to think about other sports. Dove hunting, for instance, opens in September, and Hunter Education courses are being offered throughout the state.
Hunting is an ideal sport for the entire family, "It is common to have parents and children taking the same class," said María Araujo, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department instructor. She added that over 30,000 Texans take the course annually and learn hunter ethics and firearm safety.
In Texas, hunters born on or after September 2, 1971 are required to pass Hunter Education. Before age 17, youth are exempt if they are accompanied by a licensed hunter age 17 years of age or older. Minimum age for hunter education certification is nine years old. When a hunter turns 17 years, a one-time deferral is available from license dealers to postpone the Hunter Education requirement for one license period, but it requires hunting under the supervision of a certified adult hunter or a hunter exempt because of age.
For family fun, Texas offers more than 200 public areas for hunting statewide with an annual $48 permit. Family members who do not hunt can have access to the same areas with an annual Limited Public Use permit of $12 and enjoy other recreational activities including fishing, photography, hiking and watching wildlife. Primitive camping is allowed in some areas. Youth under 17 years of age enter free when accompanying a permit holder. The Annual Public Hunting permit can be purchased at any location that sells hunting licenses.
Hunting preparations begin with Hunter Education. The course costs $15 and requires reservations. For more information, call 800-792-1112 ext. 4901 or 512-389-4901 or see: http://tpwd.texas.gov/learning/hunter_education/espanol/index.phtml

Overtraining is a physical, behavioral, and emotional condition that occurs when the volume and intensity of an individual's exercise exceeds their recovery capacity. They cease making progress, and can even begin to lose strength and fitness. Overtraining is a common problem in weight training, but it can also be experienced by runners and other athletes.
Both single- and multi-stressor models have been proposed. The single model emphasizes an imbalance between training load and recovery and excludes factors unrelated to physical performance. The multi-stressor model incorporates non-physical factors including psychological, emotional and social aspects. An integrative model is also suggested that incorporates recovery from training and how stressors impact an athlete including assessment of stressors based on athlete personality.[1]
- Main article: Exercise addiction
Physical exercise may be addictive. One theory is that this addiction is due to natural endorphins generated by the exercise.[2] Whether strictly due to this chemical by-product or not, some people can be said to become addicted to or fixated on psychological/physical effects of physical exercise and fitness.[3] This may lead to overexercise, resulting in the "overtraining" syndrome.[4]
Improvements in strength and fitness occur only after the rest period following hard training (see supercompensation). This process can take days to complete, depending on the intensity and duration of exercise leading to the overtrained state. If sufficient rest is not available, then complete regeneration cannot occur. If this imbalance between excess training and inadequate rest persists, then the individual's performance will eventually plateau and decline. Mild over training may require several days of rest or reduced activity to fully restore an athlete's fitness. If prompt attention is not given to the developing state and an athlete continues to train and accumulate fatigue, the condition may come to persist for weeks.[5]
Overtraining occurs more readily if the individual is simultaneously exposed to other physical and psychological stressors, such as jet lag, ongoing illness, overwork, menstruation, poor nutrition etc. It is a particular problem for bodybuilders and other dieters who engage in intense exercise while limiting their food intake.
A number of possible mechanisms for overtraining have been proposed:
- Microtrauma to the muscles are created faster than the body can heal them.
- Amino acids are used up faster than they are supplied in the diet. This is sometimes called "protein deficiency".
- The body becomes calorie-deficient and the rate of break down of muscle tissue increases.
- Levels of cortisol (the "stress" hormone) are elevated for long periods of time.
- The body spends more time in a catabolic state than an anabolic state (perhaps as a result of elevated cortisol levels).
- Excessive strain to the nervous system during training.
Other symptoms Edit
Overtraining may be accompanied by one or more concomitant symptoms:
- Persistent muscle soreness
- Persistent fatigue
- Elevated resting heart rate
- Reduced heart rate variability
- Increased susceptibility to infections
- Increased incidence of injuries
- Irritability
- Depression
- Mental breakdown
Effects Edit
- Lymphocytopenia[6]
- Excessive weight loss
- Excessive loss of body fat
- Increased resting heart rate
- Decreased muscular strength
- Increased submaximal heart rate
- Inability to complete workouts
- Chronic muscle soreness
- Fatigue
- Increased incidence of injury
- Depressed immune system
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Absence of menstruation
- Frequent minor infections/colds
- Insomnia
- Heart Palpitations
- Lower Testosterone Levels
- Higher Cortisol Levels
- Depression
- Loss of appetite
- Mood Disturbance[5]
- Irritability
- Loss of motivation
- Loss of enthusiasm
- Loss of competitive drive
- Early onset of fatigue
- Decreased aerobic capacity
- Poor physical performance
- Inability to complete workouts
- Delayed recovery
Treatment Edit
Allowing more time for the body to recover:
- Taking a break from training to allow time for recovery.
- Reducing the volume and/or the intensity of the training.
- Suitable periodization of training.
- Splitting the training program so that different sets of muscles are worked on different days.
- Increase sleep time.
- Deep-tissue or sports massage of the affected muscles.
- Self-massage or rub down of the affected muscles.
- Cryotherapy and thermotherapy.
- Temperature contrast therapy (contrast showers etc.).
Changing diet:
- Ensuring that calorie intake at least matches expenditure.
- Ensuring total calories are from a suitable macronutrient ratio.
- Addressing vitamin deficiencies with nutritional supplements.
Planned overtrainingEdit
Overtraining can be used advantageously, as when a bodybuilder is purposely overtrained for a brief period of time to supercompensate during a regeneration phase. These are known as "shock micro-cycles" and were a key training technique used by Soviet athletes.[7]

– 'The Secret World' Creative Director Ragnar Tørnquist working on next installment in the award-winning 'The Longest Journey' series –
Durham, USA – November 1st, 2012 – Funcom is excited to announce that 'Dreamfall Chapters', the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning adventure title 'Dreamfall: The Longest Journey', has gone into pre-production at Red Thread Games, a new studio founded by Ragnar Tørnquist, creator of 'The Longest Journey' saga.
Red Thread Games has licensed the rights to 'The Longest Journey' universe from Funcom, and Mr. Tørnquist will spearhead development of 'Dreamfall Chapters', while continuing in an advisory role as Creative Director on Funcom's recently launched modern-day massively multiplayer online game 'The Secret World'.
Last month Joel Bylos stepped into the position as Game Director on the myths, legends and conspiracy themed online game, allowing Mr. Tørnquist to devote more of his time to 'Dreamfall Chapters', which recently entered pre-production.
Red Thread Games will independently fund and produce the sequel to 'Dreamfall', and has entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Funcom as part of the licensing deal. Funcom owns the intellectual property rights for 'The Longest Journey', but due to the company's focus on and commitment to the development of online games, the decision was made to license the rights to Mr. Tørnquist and his new development studio. The close working relationship between Funcom and Mr. Tørnquist will allow him to continue on as Creative Director of Funcom's 'The Secret World', in parallel with putting together a team to develop 'Dreamfall Chapters'.
"I'm very excited to finally have the opportunity to continue the 'The Longest Journey' saga," says Ragnar Tørnquist. "Ever since we ended 'Dreamfall' on a nail-biting cliffhanger, players have been rightfully demanding a sequel, and my deal with Funcom will finally make that possible.

AS THE sell-out crowd piled in for the last day of the Cheltenham Festival, no one could have predicted how the day would pan out.
Trainers, jockeys, fans and bookies were all affected in the numerous bizarre stories that unfurled.
The first strange occurrence was that jockey Chris Timmons, who was due to saddle Achtung in the opening race, failed a breathalyser test for a high concentration of alcohol in his system. As a result, Timmons was banned from taking the reins on his only Festival ride.
If this wasn't dramatic enough for the beginning of the day, Ruby Walsh was then to suffer a crashing fall from Abbyssial in the JCB Triumph Hurdle and was immediately taken to Gloucester Hospital.
News came later that the leading Festival rider had suffered a compound fracture to his right hubris, ruling him out of more than just his remaining Festival rides.
The second race finally brought a win for Paul Nicholls, who finished the four days with just that victory. Daryl Jacob had ridden the winner, Lac Fontana, but was then involved in the most bizarre situation many at the racecourse had ever seen. When riding towards the start for the third race, the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, his horse Port Melon veered suddenly into the grandstand railings, demolishing them and the hoardings and catapulting Jacob from the saddle. Jacob was subsequently treated by medical staff and taken away on a stretcher; it was later announced he had suffered a broken knee, which is due to be operated on today, as well as a reported broken leg and elbow.
The trainer of both horses involved in Jacob's up-and-down day, Nicholls, said of the accident: "The incident looked horrific.
"Thank goodness he rode that winner on Lac Fontana, otherwise he would have been suicidal. He's ridden a winner and is generally in good spirits despite having a terrible injury like that."
When the Albert Bartlett eventually got under way, after a significant delay from that debacle, the favourite Briar Hill fell to groans from the crowd and it was 33-1 outsider Very Wood who would keep finding more up the final hill to trounce his rivals.
The drama on day four did not finish there. The feature race of the day, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, was shaping up to be the two-horse battle everyone had expected.
Coming down to the last fence, Bobs Worth and Silviniaco Conti were fighting it out at the front and looked as if they would finish ahead of the rest of the field.
However, on landing, Nicky Henderson's Bobs Worth appeared to be spooked and veered from one side to the other whilst tiring under Barry Geraghty. As Silviniaco Conti also slowed, three outsiders entered the fold and it quickly became clear the favourites were beaten. Lord Windermere, On His Own and The Giant Bolster were tightly bunched and, despite veering right towards the stands on the run-in, they finished in that order. A stewards' enquiry into a possible interference by Lord Windermere delayed celebrations for jockey Davy Russell and trainer Jim Culloty, but after a long wait it was announced the places would remain unchanged.
Aside from the winning connections, this decision was not received with huge support, with many thinking the places should have been reversed, or at least altered.
David Casey, who finished second on On His Own, said: "The horse on my inside (Lord Windermere) has drifted across me and basically from a stride after the last, has carried me across the track. The closer we got to the winning post, the further he carried me, giving a slight nudge into the third horse. I felt at the time I was going to get up on top with a straight run."
As a result of the controversial result and the poor finishes for Bobs Worth and Silviniaco Conti, the race was viewed as an anti-climax by many of the 67,500-strong crowd, with very few successfully predicting the winner.
After the drama of the Gold Cup, more predictable wins for Tammys Hill in the Foxhunter and Don Poli in the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle followed. However, there was to be one last strange occurrence just before the final race. Tom O'Brien's mount, Oscar Hill, refused to settle with the rest of the field ahead of the Grand Annual Chase, instead bolting across the middle of the track. Having been unable to stop the horse for five minutes, O'Brien finally drew the David Bridgwater-trained gelding to a halt but the combination had unsurprisingly been withdrawn from the race. The race was eventually won by the Savello, which gave jockey Davy Russell a 3,926/1 treble and owner Michael O'Leary a fourth win of the day.
In a week that could have gone better for Nicky Henderson, the local trainer who can return to Wiltshire with his head held high is Barbury Castle Stables' Alan King. With a relatively small squad of horses at the Festival, King finished with an impressive tally of one win, two seconds and two thirds, and some exciting prospects for the future.
From the perspective of local jockeys, AP McCoy will return to Lambourn a frustrated man. The bruised Champion Jockey rode just one winner, on Thursday, but the worst part of his week is that on two occasions, in championship races, he was beaten by horses he had the opportunity to ride. In contrast to McCoy's experience, Nico de Boinville will be deservedly thrilled with his win and close second on Henderson's horses.

A CHARITY appeal to mark what would have been the 21st birthday of a Blackburn boy who died from cancer has raised an amazing £17,700.
Alex Charnley, of York Crescent, died in 2001 aged nine after a two-and-a-half year battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Just For Alex was set up in his memory and raised cash for the young oncology unit at Manchester Children's Hospital where he was treated, Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust, and defibrillator charity Pumping Marvellous.
Each of the charities was presented with a cheque for £5,900 – an equal share of the total amount raised.
Alex would have turned 21 in August last year, so his family decided to hold a series of events to remember him and mark his birthday.
The charity organised a number of events including a sponsored walk, a soul night, a football veterans' match with boys Alex's age, who he used to play football with, and a race night.
Several people also organised their own fundraisers by offering to take part in sponsored runs or hold coffee mornings, and several schools held non-uniform days in aid of the appeal. Alex's mum Karen Charnley said: "We just did it for a year because it would have been Alex's 21st last year so we decided to have a year of events and raised funds along the way.
"We would have been happy if we had raised £10,000, we were really happy to raise that much.
"We were pleased to be able to do something to mark that year, just as a remembrance, raising money was a side issue."
She added: "We organised events so everyone he knew could come together, and it came off really well, better than expected."
Since Alex died, his family and friends have raised more than £20,000 for charity in his name.
Karen said that while last year's epic fundraising drive was held to mark a landmark year, they will continue to raise money on an ad hoc basis.

When I started a new job a few months ago, my main concern wasn't trying to fit in with the corporate culture, impressing my bosses or figuring out how to become as proficient as possible. All I cared about was asking the cute, blue-eyed girl in the center cube out on a date.
Each morning I'd strategize the best way to ask her out, only to wuss out. Since I was the "new guy" and barely knew her, I didn't have the balls to just walk over to her in front of our co-workers and ask her to hang out. So, I ripped off a scene from Wedding Crashers and left a post-it on the blue-eyed beauty's desk one night after she and her cube-mates left. The post-it read: Drinks after work tomorrow? Yes, No, Maybe – with a box next to each potential answer.
Unfortunately, Blue-eyes' first reaction to my childish attempt at flirting, as overheard by my friend who sits near her: "Is this a prank?"
After considering the best way to play this out, I finally just went over to her desk and told her I left the post-it. She smiled and told me she didn't take the note seriously, at first. But I did, and I asked her to respond and return it to cube #177, as per the instructions. So just before the five o'clock exodus, she came by and told me she couldn't hang out that night, but suggested that "we should all do drinks sometime." Well, after just one drunken night out with her and the rest of the gang, I got the old, "Nice try, Slugger, maybe next time" and decided to give up the chase. Now it's only minimally awkward when we pass each other in the hall.
But the awkwardness I feel whenever I see Blue-eyes these days is nothing compared to the bizarre situation my co-worker, Matthew, 26, found himself in. Matthew is currently dating a girl he works with (let's call her "Ellen"). But before that, he dated a different girl from the office ("Lauren"), who we all still work with, as well. Matthew hooked up with Lauren two years before I started working at the agency and she was his dream girl, except for one minor problem: She had a boyfriend.
"I hung out with her a lot," says Matthew. "We had lunch together every day and we used to hang out after work a couple nights a week. I finally told her how I felt after we went to a Giants game together."
Lauren responded by telling Matthew their time together "felt like a dream," but she already had a boyfriend she wasn't willing to part with. A few days later, for her birthday, Matthew gave her a CD with a song he dedicated to her. "After that, things got pretty weird," he says. "She stopped talking to me, even though I told her I wasn't expecting anything. I gave her the CD for closure more than anything else."

PigeonMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Two friends decide to get together; so they start riding bikes towards each other. They plan to meet halfway. Each is riding at 6 MPH. They live 36 miles apart. One of them has a pet carrier pigeon and it starts flying the instant the friends start traveling. The pigeon flies back and forth at 18 MPH between the 2 friends until the friends meet. How far does the pigeon travel?
AnswerIt takes 3 hours for the friends to meet; so the pigeon flies for 3 hours at 18 MPH=54 miles.

Former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett has waded into the spate between Qantas and Tourism Australia, urging the peak tourism agency's chairman Geoff Dixon to step down and get off the national carrier's back, a report says.
Mr Kennett said Mr Dixon, who heads up Tourism Australia, has had his time at the helm of Qantas and "had his opportunity to bring off the privatisation, and that didn't work".
"Often people who have been in senior positions have to back away a bit once they hand over the reins," Mr Kennett told The Australian Financial Review during a tourism conference in Sydney.
He urged Mr Dixon to "allow those he has nurtured to exist and grow".
"It's a competitive world and it's a bit hard if you're trying to do a job and someone is, allegedly, trying to pull you apart."
Tourism Australia declared its full support for its chairman Mr Dixon on Wednesday after Qantas's shock decision to cut off its funding of the official tourism body.
Qantas severed its links to Tourism Australia after saying that Mr Dixon, who ran Qantas from 2001 to 2008, was in a position of "untenable potential conflict".
Qantas had wanted him to step down as chairman or disassociate himself from a rebel group pushing for change at the airline.

Adult Education aims at extending educational options to those adults, who have lost the opportunity and have crossed the age of formal education, but now feel a need for learning of any type, including literacy, basic education, skill development (Vocational Education) and equivalency. With the objective of promoting adult education, a series of programmes have been introduced since the First Five Year Plan, the most prominent being the National Literacy Mission (NLM), that was launched in 1988 to impart functional literacy to non-literates in the age group of 15-35 years in a time bound manner.

Here is a recipe from one of my readers (Wenchypoo) that I thought should be shared. Give it a try and post your results.
I finally did it–turned your Wonder Bun idea into a Wonder Tortilla!
Here's the recipe (done in a 1000W microwave with Corelle dinner plate)
Makes 1 taco or fajita-sized tortilla (still working on the big boy):
1T. chia meal
1T. flax meal
2 T. almond meal
2 t. tapioca starch
1 T. olive oil (do not use coconut oil or lard)
1 egg white (no yolk–the bottom of the tortilla becomes messy)
1T. water
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. cocoa powder (optional–for color only)
A total of 1 t. of spices/herbs of choice
~~Big "T" means tablespoon, and little "t" means teaspoon~~
Combine flours and powders in a cereal bowl. Stir to combine, then set aside. In a separate small bowl, add egg white, olive oil, and water, and mix with mixer until egg white is bubbly, but not to the foam stage–we don't want meringue here!
Add egg white mixture to the flour mixture, and stir well to combine, making sure to get the unmixed batter off spoon and into bowl.
~~Greasing plate NOT necessary, since there's oil in the recipe~~
Pour batter into center of microwave-safe salad or dinner-sized plate, and tip the plate around until batter comes to within 1″ of rim (the batter will creep back to the center of the plate–don't worry). Microwave on high for 60 seconds, then remove plate to cooling rack to finish cooking. After about a minute or two, gently remove the tortilla by using a butter knife to slowly peel up the edges all around the plate, then sliding the knife gently under the tortilla slowly toward the center. When tortilla is completely free of plate, remove it and return it to the cooling rack bottom-side up to finish completely cooling.
This tortilla is flexible enough to fold and roll, and also freezes well–if making a stack of them, let cool completely, then place in a zippy bag or other freezer-safe container with paper between the layers (parchment or wax) so they don't freeze together.
To defrost, remove from freezer and place on a plate, microwaving one at a time on high for 30 seconds. These regain flexibility upon defrosting.
Now you can have a personal taco, fajita, or enchilada that's low-carb, gluten-free, and Paleo (add cheese for Primal).
from Wenchypoo.

GeForce 7600 and 7200 Launch Schedule Leakedby Kristopher Kubicki on 11/8/2005 5:08 AM EST

lifeguard1999 - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - link... to talk about this in the AT forums. Oh where have they gone....
At least this shows us that it will be 6 months to a new mid-range card which we hope will be worthy of the 6600GT (a great card itself). Reply
xsilver - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - link
and GeForce 7600 will use the same PCB as the older GeForce 6200 and 7600 cards, respectively.
self contradicting? or is it just me?
I thought details of the 7600 were still under tight wraps
if not, please feel free to spill the beans, pipes, clocks etc. Reply
KristopherKubicki - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - linkMistype - that second 7600 should read 6600.
Kristopher Reply
xsilver - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - linkif 7600 pcb = 6600 pcb then it would be reasonable to expect the same pipeline structure? (3 vertex, 8 pixel)
doesnt that seem a little dated considering the x1600 is going with a 5/12 structure?
although I already cant remember (structurally) why the x1600 sucked eggs
also, isnt the 6600 series still running 128 bit memory interface? the traces for that would definitley be related to pcb and not just the core
clocks are going to be increased, but that is to be expected of course Reply
glanced - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - linkI think the only thing you can take from the 7600PCB=6600PCB statement is that the memory bus will have to be the same. The pipeline structure would not be dictated by the PCB.
The major point is that cardmakers can drop the 7600 chips right on existing PCBs and ship them quickly.
As for the X1600 suckage, I think ATI's choice of 4 texture units & render backends on 12 pipelines is the culprit. Those pipelines are waiting on the rest of the card. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2552...">Anand's chart Reply
glanced - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - linkThere's a bit more commentary on the lopsided pipes/texture units at http://techreport.com/reviews/2005q4/radeon-x1000/...">TechReport. Reply
KHysiek - Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - linkFirst post :D
Haha , I've had to say that.
I see Nvdia is not afraid of ATI X1600 line. Reply

CHARLESTON, N.Y. (AP) — Seven months after the deluge of Tropical Storm Irene, cleanups continue and worries remain in upstate New York and Vermont.
Farmers in the fields this spring are still grappling with crop-smothering rocks, trees, gravel and sand left behind when the flood waters receded. And some local governments worry about new floods as they continue to clear piles of trees, rocks and household debris from stream banks.
"If we get a normal high-water spring, this stuff is not going to stay here," Marty Navojosky said as walked through a maze of debris on his land along the Schoharie Creek west of Albany.
Rural, hilly areas in New York and Vermont were hit especially hard hit by flooding when Irene soaked the East Coast last August.
In the Adirondacks, Essex County officials say there is still a "tremendous amount of debris" to remove along rivers and tributaries. Farther south along the Schoharie Creek, Navojosky's land is one of a series of debris-laden spots along the Schoharie.
"If you have another flooding situation, this stuff will become projectiles as they run down the river again, impacting bridges and plugging streams up. ... You really need to clean it up," said Essex County's head of emergency services, Don Jaquish.
Farmers are concerned that the gray or even sandy white soil left behind by Irene will affect yields. At Liberty Hill Farm along the White River in Rochester, Vt., the flood waters deposited a layer of gravel, sand and silt that is choking grass in some spots of the normally rich, loamy soil and hampering spring planting of other feed crops for their dairy cows.
"Our pasture was obliterated," farmer Beth Kennett said. "There are areas where we have to reseed to hay, areas where we would normally have grass and hay and pasture. We're talking about planting them to corn. We can then plow it under and then get more nutrient matter under the soil."
The federal government has set aside $4.7 million to reimburse Vermont farmers for work to restore their land to productive use. The grants will cover up to 75 percent of the cost of work, which must be done first.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency through the state can reimburse municipalities up to three quarters of expenses for debris removal along stream banks. But FEMA will only reimburse for debris removal that meets certain thresholds.
The agency recently turned Montgomery County down for reimbursement for a series of messes along the Schoharie, including Navojosky's land, because it didn't meet the reimbursement criteria. The county is appealing.
FEMA spokesman Matthew Russell said there are "occasions" when an applicant and FEMA disagree about eligibility, and the appeal can address that.
Rathke reported from Rochester, Vt.

This dataset contains fiscal year data and is currently available in the following formats:
It is essential that SSA employees have the tools to communicate effectively with the American public, regardless of an individual's inability to communicate effectively in English. To achieve our commitment to provide fair and equitable service, we offer limited English proficient (LEP) individuals the option to use our Telephone Interpreter Services (TIS), a contract awarded and administered by the Office of Acquisition and Grants (OAG), when doing business with us. This service has been available since 2002, is free of charge to individuals requiring language assistance, and is an important component of our service to LEP Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). TIS interpreters are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, which allows us to provide real time service to all of our LEP customers.
Agency Program Description
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that administers Social Security, a social insurance program consisting of retirement, disability, and survivor's benefits. To qualify for these benefits, most American workers pay Social Security taxes on their earnings; future benefits are based on the employees' contributions. Social Security taxes fund the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Trust Funds that we use to pay Retirement, Survivors, and Disability Insurance benefits. SSA also administers the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, a federal needs-based program financed through general revenue funds. We have approximately 65,000 employees and deliver services through a nationwide network of about 1,500 offices. We also have a presence in several United Stated embassies around the globe.
Dataset Description
This dataset displays our national TIS call volume for over 55 API languages for the last three fiscal years. A fiscal year runs from October through September. We will continue to add a new column to this report at the end of each fiscal year.
Note: After the end of every fiscal year, we will include a new column to this report to add the most recent fiscal year data.
Data Collection Description
The vendor gathers our daily TIS usage by monitoring the number of calls received from SSA, the languages we are requesting, and the duration of each incoming call, then forwards the report to us on a monthly basis. We have faith that the TIS vendor will provide quality service and reporting data as outlined in the contract agreement's requirements.
Data Dictionary
Field A: SSA customer's preferred API language requesting assistance using TIS
Field B: National TIS call volume for FY2011
