November 9, 2008
It's been two weeks since I've purchased anything other than food. Well not quite. I purchased ski poles for twenty bucks at the Friends and Family sale. But the poles were declared clearly in the Consumer Cleanse Prenup. So other than the poles, I've purchased nothing but food.
It's all going well. I'm not feeling picked on, yet. I'm not feeling the need to spend, yet. I'm not bored of the stuff I have, yet.
On Friday, a true test was about to present itself. The girls I run with have been planning a weekend away. We'd spend the night somewhere, stay up late, sleep in, and run a few miles in a new place. Great fun.
So Friday we drive our two cars to the vacation spot. On our 21st century walkie-talkies (also called the cell phone), we decide to meet at - hold your breath - the outlets. No big deal, I say to myself. There are five chicks here, it only obviously that we'd eventually make it to - the outlets.
I can do that. And I can do that without spending money!
So we spend a couple or three hours shopping. For the first while I followed and browsed. I purchased one Christmas present and one birthday present. In the second while, I got bored and tired and ended up on the benches outside with the dudes. This is where I began to feel bad for the times I dragged Spouse shopping - where he too would end up finding a chair somewhere.
The girls finally decide they're hungry and we find a spot to eat. We dine on sourdough pizza and side salads ala soy-ginger-sesame-vinaigrette. We laugh a bit, reveal a few secrets and begin the what-do-we-do-next conversation. Four out of five us wanted to go back to - the outlets.
After yet another stab at shopping, we sleep, run, eat lunch, and have another what-do-we-do-next conversation. One suggests, "Let's go to - the outlets"
Gee. Can we?

Hi Ho-Vera Here. I have actually been very good, until Friday. I was well know at my house that when I was feeling down, or happy, or bored, I would buy shoes. BUT, I have been in a slump. Since I stopped working at a fancy place...and I don't go out much (not too sorry about that), I haven't felt the need to buy shoes.
Friday I treated myself to 2..and they are your size!!! Isn't that handy?

Hi guys
(Totally new to this thing)
Travelling from Manchester to Melbourne on October 28th and thinking of doing to STA 3 day starter package when I arrive? Not actually staying in Melbourne for long but figured it'd be a good start for a lone traveller.
Anyone else going around that time?!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/4/2013 (1598 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The forecast in Morris calls for a 60 per cent chance of flurries today, and a 100 per cent chance of rainbows.
Three groups from Winnipeg's LGBT community plan to head out by the car-load this morning to show their support for two gay restaurant owners who announced this week they will close their diner April 13 after being subjected to anti-gay slurs.
Chad Smith, executive director of the Rainbow Resource Centre, anticipates a group of between 40 to 60 supporters who will travel to Morris in shifts and gather for lunch and dinner at the Pots N Hands restaurant. Members of Winnipeg Pride will also be part of the rally, along with various supporters who planned their own trip through Facebook.
"Just to show them (the restaurant owners) that the LGBT community is behind them," Smith said.
"This is not about judging the people of Morris. Clearly, we all get there's a small group of people that are engaging in homophobic behaviour."
Smith did note that the supporters will include at least one group of drag queens.
"It will be interesting," he said.
"Hopefully, there will be a lot of rainbows out there."
The groups plan to gather beginning at 11 a.m. in the Round Table parking lot on Pembina Highway.

New York Jets defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis isn't a player weighing heavily on the minds of many heading into 2012. He wasn't heard from much in 2011 and the most notable thing about him to this point is probably the status of his current trial. The Kenrick Ellis trial has been delayed again, but barring any interference from a bad result for Ellis in that case, he could be in line to take a big step forward this season.
The first issue with the general perception of Ellis is the third round pick label. While Ellis was a third round pick, he's not your average third round pick. He's also not your average small school prospect. He's from Hampton, but Ellis originally attended South Carolina before being kicked out due to a violation of University policy. Prior to his dismissal, Ellis appeared in 11 of 12 games as a redshirt freshman at an SEC school. Ellis walked into the NFL with immense size, strength and raw ability. He was rated as a first or second round talent, but his stock fell greatly because of his impending trial and his previous issues off of the football field.
At 6-5, 346, Ellis is a mountain of a man. He has the size and strength to be a force in the middle of the defensive line. The Jets are looking to harness that raw ability and are working with Ellis on his leverage and his ability to digest what is unfolding in front of him. His size and strength allowed him to be dominant at the FCS level without having to consistently play low and be attentive to the different keys for a defensive lineman on a given play. Understanding these facets of playing the defensive line at the NFL level will allow him to potentially be dominant for the Jets.
Ellis played well in his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins, earning him a start the following week against the San Diego Chargers. Ellis was injured early on in that game, and didn't do much the rest of the season. We can make guesses about how his season would have turned out had he not been injured in that game, but he appeared to be on his way to playing a role the rest of the way. That bodes well for him moving forward.
The Jets aren't expecting Ellis to make such an improvement that he will be dominant in the middle this season, but expect him to see some rotational playing time. As he continues to grow it just makes the defensive line deeper as a unit, something that bodes well for the group as a whole as players can be mixed in and out to keep them fresh not just for individual games but over the long haul. The Jets defensive line was worn down at points during the 2011 season, and having a deeper unit up front means a more active unit up front. That helps out the linebackers by keeping the offensive line occupied with the first level.
Another part of the Ellis story that has been discounted is the impact the NFL Lockout had on him. As a player that needed some polishing, the lack of a rookie minicamp and other offseason team activities had a major impact on his readiness for the season. Having a full offseason to grow under the tutelage of Rex Ryan should be a major boost to him as he enters his second season as a pro.
Of course, all of this depends on Ellis getting a favorable ruling in his trial. With a few delays already and deportation possibly on the table, it's still a very volatile situation.

This is the same for anything. If someone sells something on eBay before it's officially available or if there's limited availability at launch it's always extortionately priced. The PS3 was going for $3,000-5,000 at launch because it was hard to get.

The Top 10 Video Game Athletes of All Time
9. Earl Campbell (All-Pro Football 2K8)
2K Sports' All-Pro Football 2K8 features a stacked roster of some of the finest inductees into the pro football Hall of Fame. The best of the digital bunch is the running back tank prototype Earl Campbell.
Campbell is packed with all the ingredients for a tasty running back stew, but you couldn't tell that by looking at his numbers, as there aren't any. 2K Sports instead assigned athletes a handful of traits designed to recreate their real-life exploits.
His Workhorse trait causes Campbell to get stronger and faster as the game progresses as long as you keep feeding him the ball. The Power trait gives him the ability to truck and stiff-arm opponents. Branching Tackle makes it difficult for a defenseman to take Campbell down. And Stamina keeps Earl from tiring. Together these traits produce a player who makes potential tacklers look like second string varsity players.
Campbell can be brought down by a pair of highly-skilled tacklers—his lack of blazing speed means that he will make frequent contact with offensive linemen. Still, Campbell is a Slip 'n Slide that's so powerful that a gamer can guide him to 100 to 200 yards without a thought, and 300 to 400 with some effort.—Next: Number 8 >

Recognizing Tomorrow's Hot Ideas Today
By Andrew Zolli
Stroll through any corporate innovation conference and one thing becomes abundantly clear: It's a good time to be an innovation guru. Such experts are playing to packed houses, evangelizing the power of user-driven design, the importance of ethnographic research, and the value of an internal "innovation culture." Corporate managers eagerly soak up this "right-brain religion." At some point every consumer product on Earth will be dipped in white acrylic, feel totally ergonomic and embody a whimsical anthropomorphic cuteness.
Then what? Where does the innovation conversation go, say, 10 years from now? To find the next deep wellsprings of innovation, we have to keep an eye on "weak signals," today's fringe ideas that will become tomorrow's common wisdom. Here are a few of them:
A revolution in systems ecology, material science, and biology is unravelling how engineering happens in the natural world. Think of the Great Barrier Reef. It was created at near-room temperature, using locally available materials, self-assembly, water-based chemistry, and the power of tides and the sun. "Bio-mimetic" products that copy or are inspired by natural processes are already starting to make it to market. Lotusan Paint, a self-cleaning industrial paint, copies the mechanisms of the lotus leaf, causing dirt and water to bead and roll off. A one-meter-square slice of Synthetic Gecko -- recently invented by BAE Systems and inspired by the material on a gecko's feet -- can suspend thousands of pounds.
You may never hire a Chief "World of Warcraft" Officer, but that doesn't mean you won't discover your next business model virtually. Video games are outgrowing their entertainment context and finding new uses as innovation discovery engines. British Telecommunications is using a game called Better Business to help employees learn to manage complex environmental issues. Chanakya is a competitive management simulation played between leading companies in India. (Tata Steel keeps winning). Expect more gamer-managers soon.
Procter & Gamble (PG ) and Target (TGT ) increasingly look outside for their next breakthrough, so they rely on specialized maps of their innovation networks. The fields of social-network analysis and network cartography are rapidly maturing, allowing companies to visualize who is in their customer base, their supply chain, and their field of influence. Soon, social-network maps will exist in real time and be interactive. Look at an early example at labs.digg.com, the R&D development arm of the social-bookmarking site digg.com. You'll find two visualizations that show what thousands of people are bookmarking, in real time, as they do so.
Today's creative artists can bring powerful new modes of thinking to established innovation practices. They also have a healthy disrespect for established boundaries and an ability to find opportunities that traditional approaches miss.
Mythic innovation hubs like Xerox (XRX ) Palo Alto Research Center decades ago paired visual artists and core researchers. These teams reaped insights into the future of computing that shape how we use those technologies today. Now, Web sites such as we-make-money-not-art.com are cataloging the best artists as they rethink the possibilities of robotics, global positioning systems, and new media. Tomorrow's innovation leaders will be those who can learn to recruit and integrate artistic talent most broadly.
While bioscience and nanotech grab the headlines, cognitive science is unlocking the deeper neural bases of our creativity, risk tolerances and views of innovation.
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Institute for Applied Cognitive Science recently developed new brain-based models for understanding how we process risk and use memories to evaluate risks. At USC's Institute for the Study of the Brain and Creativity, neuroscientists are diving into the neurobiological underpinnings of governance, education, economics and aesthetic creativity. By 2015, expect to see more innovation "field" consulting by applied cognitive scientists, who will use cognitive insights to tweak innovation teams and processes based on members' cognitive styles.

Contained Places
Bibb County is a county located in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 155,547. On July 31, 2012, by a margin of 57% to 43%, voters in the county approved a measure to consolidate Bibb County with the county seat, Macon and dissolve the government of the only other incorporated municipality in the county, Payne City; however, the dissolution of Payne City is currently on hold.
Bibb County is part of the Macon, GA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Robert Reichert was the first mayor of Macon-Bibb, January 1, 2014.
Native Americans/Indians (mostly Cherokee) had inhabited the area, which would become Bibb County, for centuries.
They were forcibly removed further West to the newly-laid out Indian Territory, in what was known as the Indian Removal in the 1830s under the administration of seventh President Andrew Jackson (also known as the "Trail of Tears". It was one of the counties included in what was called the "Black Belt", referring to the fertile dark soil of the uplands.
The area was developed by European Americans later Southerners initially for cotton plantations.
Bibb County was created by act of the State Legislature of Georgia on December 9, 1822, with Macon to be incorporated as a town/city in December 1823; designated the County Seat. It was carved from the earlier territories of the counties of Jones, Monroe, Houston, and Twiggs counties. The County Seat has never been changed since, and no other subsequent county in the state has ever been created ("erected") out of land from Bibb County.
The county was named for Dr. William Wyatt Bibb, a physician from Elbert County, who was elected to and served in the U.S. House of Representatives and United States Senate from History of Georgia, moved to the new Alabama Territory, before being elected as the first Governor of the new State of Alabama.
During the Civil War, 10% of the white men in the county died in the service of the Confederate States Army.
The first foreign Consulate in the country was established in Macon in 2006, with the Royal Danish Consulate of the Kingdom of Denmark. The first ever Honorary Consul to the Principality of Liechtenstein was also established in Macon in 2007.

Pictures of Honor Warren Walking With Jessica Alba in LA
Jessica Alba Honors Where It All Starts on Mother's Day
Honor Warren had her favorite doll in one arm and her mom Jessica Alba on the other as they arrived at the Urth Cafe in Beverly Hills yesterday. The girls are back home in LA after a lengthy trip to the East Coast which included Jess judging the Tribeca Film Festival, being a guest at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and hitting the red carpet at the Met ball. You can bid on Jessica's Costume Gala dress now! We also got a peek at the trailer for Jessica's upcoming movie Machete, which didn't leave Buzz too excited. Busy Jessica will hopefully get to have some downtime this weekend and to get in the spirit of Sunday she recently shared her six-word "momoir" for Mother's Day.

Trying to find housing, and a place we are looking at is located on Post Street, located between Gough and Webster Street. It's also one street above Geary Blvd.. It seems like it may be in the Western Addition neighborhood, or bordering the Tenderloin district. Is it a safe area? Thanks!

Try using Google Maps Street View to have a look around the neighborhood. I think you can tell a lot that way and you'll probably know if you'll be comfortable there. It's a tool I use a lot when I'm choosing accommodations.

That's Japantown, not the Western Addition and certainly not the Tenderloin. It is not unsafe.

Meant to add . . . Unfortunately this is a case where google street view doesn't really answer your questions because the 'look' of a place won't tell you the safety.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all the replies! I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid, but it seems like there is so many places in San Francisco that seem fine, but when you go a few blocks away, you may be in a seedy area.
Janisj - you're right, I've done google maps on the address, but that doesn't tell you anything about safety.
So since it is in Japantown, it's not even bordering Western Addition?
Report Abuse
Yes it borders the Western Addition (other side of Geary) but the entire Western Addition is not unsafe. Yes, there are places that are not that great, especially, near Webster and Hayes especially if you are an African American male, but that is further south from your location.
Report Abuse
I had read that Geary borders Western Addition, which made me feel a little nervous. How far south of Geary would you still consider safe?
We haven't been to San Francisco in over 10 years, and we are driving this time. If we take a wrong turn past Geary getting back to Post street, would that be dangerous?
Report Abuse
You'll be OK in that area. If you go several blocks further to the east, you'll be in the Tenderloin. If you go a bit to the West and South, you'll be in the Fillmore area, where, I believe, the blacks moved after they vacated Japantown.
It's been awhile since I've read any San Francisco history, but after the Japanese were moved out of Japantown during WWII, Japantown was taken over by the blacks who came to work here, especially for the US government.
After WWII, the Japanese gradually filtered back to Japantown while the blacks moved over to the Fillmore District. The Fillmore is San Francisco's jazz scene. If you like jazz, this will be very close to your new home.
Here's a very nice color map showing the Tenderloin area, bounded by Polk (W), Taylor (E), Market (S) and Geary (N).
San Francisco's Theater District either abuts or is mostly in the Tenderloin, depending on whom you speak with. The Tenderloin is also ethnically most diverse area of San Francisco.
It's usually safe to just drive through. In fact, you have to pretty much drive through the Tenderloin all the time going E-W or N-S in the greater downtown area.
for the longest time, the Western Addition was nothing more than just a quiet residential area. Maybe someone with more recent history can tell you differently. But, again, I drive through there all the time and have never seen anything to fear in the Western Addition.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the info and the map. I used google to go down some of the streets of Western Addition, and they actually seemed fine, but I am seeing it during the daytime when no one is around!
Report Abuse
That area around Japantown is nice, good restaurants, movie theater, some shopping.
Just don't go at night south of Geary by yourself.
Report Abuse
About the only place unsafe to drive in SF are parts of Hunter's Point --an area you will never visit. You will have no problem driving in the Western Addition, the Tenderloin or any other place. Actually the most unsafe place to drive IMHO is the Marina at closing time!!!
Report Abuse
Unsafe is a relative term. Whether you feel uncomfortable may be very different then if you're actually at risk.
Walking through the tenderloin area during daytime I've felt uncomfortable (I'm a country bumpkin, not a city slicker), but never unsafe. There are panhandlers, homeless people lining up for shelter, shops with varied clientelle, etc, but I've never been accosted, let alone threatened.
If you're moving to SF and looking for housing I think you ought to spend some time on the ground walking around at different times of day to better assess how you feel about a particular area. If you are used to city living then you'll likely not bat an eyelash. If you're not used to cities, then the heterogeneous population may take some getting used to.
You also ask about driving. I'd have no concern driving on just about any block in SF - you're in a car and you're passing through.
Report Abuse
Anna, you wouldn't find much going on in the Western Addition.
Right after WWII, the US Government tore down whole blocks of the Victorian homes in Japantown and nearby and built these really blah modern houses and high rises in the Western Addition. There's not much to see there, so there aren't the hoards of tourists like elsewhere in San Francisco, all gawking at the Victorians. It must be a real pain sometimes to live in Alamo Square, with all the tour buses, tour guides and groups and groups of tourists walking through daily.
The Western Addition, in contrast, doesn't have much going on. All you'll see are a handful of local residents coming and going, usually to shop in Japantown or in the Fillmore. The Japanese and the blacks have pretty much lived peacefully with each other, so you won't have race riots or police sirens. It's really one of the quietest parts of SF.
There are plenty of good restaurants in the current Japantown location and there's a great theater, the Sundance Kabuki Theater, with some of the most comfortable movie theater seating you'll ever find.
Let us know how you decide - if you will move into this neighborhood or not.
Report Abuse
I'm assuming you mean I shouldn't be walking at night south of Geary?
Thanks for the info about driving - that helps!
I'm not moving, just visiting. The only backdraw seems to be that we might have to walk a couple blocks to get to public transportation.

Honestly, I think this particular poster may be happier in a different part of the city.

I think you are right sf.
Are you going to the last game tomorrow? I'm trying to decide.

Sorry I misunderstood when you said you were "looking for housing" I thought you wanted to move to this part of the city.
Certainly, if it's just for a visit, then sf and SAB are correct, most tourists find themselves in other parts of the city.
Unless you a hve a specific reason to be in this neighborhood (relatives, meeting, etc) you're better off in a more central part of the city.

Walking south of Geary along Van Ness presents no problems. However, given your worries about <driving through the Western Addition, if going there (perhaps to Hayes Street Grill), you might decide to take the bus from point to point, walking only the required half block to the restaurant of choice, of which there are quite a few to choose from along Franklin behind the Opera and Symphony Hall.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In an entertainment-driven world, viewers have been flocking to whichever provider has the best movies and shows. As a result, we've seen drastic changes in home entertainment during the past several years.Think about it. Ten years ago, the 150-pound, flat screen television was the coolest thing around. Now we have razor thin LCD and LED screens that weigh a couple dozen pounds, if that. We can rewind and record live television. Hell, we even have 3-D TVs in our living rooms now. But tablet and TV producers aren't the only winners here. The popular slogan, content is king, refers to the companies that actually own the content. They can auction it off to content providers such as Netflix ( NFLX) and Amazon ( AMZN) in the form of lucrative licensing deals. The content usually goes to the highest bidder, which is a definite win for content owners. Thus, content is king. Well, investors, look no further than Disney ( DIS), the entertainment kingpin. Let's pretend that Disney isn't diversified with resorts, hotels and cruises for a minute. Let's only think about the company from a content perspective. In 2012, it had the third all-time best selling movie at the box office, with The Avengers. This year, Disney had Iron Man 3, which is currently fifth best all-time and still in theaters. Fortunately, The Avengers will have a sequel, currently set for May 1, 2015. But Disney hasn't continually come up with great movies decade after decade. It would be rather difficult and nearly impossible to be that good for that long.
Instead, Disney's CEO Bob Iger is okay with spending money to make money. Sometimes this can be a bad thing, but with Iger, this is a great thing. The guy can buy. One of the first things he did when he became CEO of Disney was orchestrate a deal to acquire Pixar, which at the time was run by none other than, Steve Jobs.

María Josefa Gabriela Cariño Silang (March 19, 1731-September 29, 1763) was the first Filipino woman to lead a revolt during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. An active member of the insurgent force of Diego Silang, her husband, she led the group for four months after his death before she was captured and executed. Born in Barangay Caniogan, Santa, Ilocos Sur, Silang was a mestiza, of Spanish and Ilocano descent. She was adopted by a wealthy businessman who later married her at the age of 20, but left after three years. In 1757, she married again, this time to 27-year-old indigenous Ilocano rebel leader, Diego Silang. She became one of his closest advisors, a major figure in her husband's collaboration with the British and the brief expulsion of Spanish officials from Vigan, Ilocos Sur during the British occupation of the Philippines. On May 28, 1763, her husband was assassinated by order of royal and church authorities in Manila. After her husband's death, she fled on horseback to the mountains of Abra to establish her headquarters, reassemble her troops, and rally the Tingguian community to fight. They descended on Vigan on September 10, 1763. But the Spanish garrison was ready, amassing Spanish, Tagalog, and Kapampangan soldiers and Ilocano collaborators to ambush her and rout her forces. Many were killed. She escaped, alongside her uncle Nicolas and seven other men, but later caught on September 29, 1763. They were summarily hanged in Vigan's plaza, with Gabriela being the last to die. Her ferocity and death became a symbol for Filipino women, their pre-colonial importance in Filipino society and their struggle for liberation during colonization.

ATLANTA — Fiery Georgia House Speaker Glenn Richardson has survived a challenge for his gavel.
The House Republican caucus voted on Monday to keep Richardson on as speaker, rejecting a challenge from state Rep. David Ralston of Blue Ridge.
Ralston said good leadership is not "grounded in fear or intimidation or threat of retribution." And he argued that without change, Georgia Republicans could suffer the same loss of power that the GOP did in the U.S. Congress.
Richardson pointed to his accomplishments over the last four years as speaker and said he'd learned from his mistakes.
Richardson's temper has become legendary at the state Capitol.
Also surviving a challenge Monday was majority leader Jerry Keen, R-St. Simons Island.
The contested elections may have come at a price for three of the four members of the Hall County legislative delegation.
State Rep. Tommy Benton, R-Jefferson, and state Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, were early supporters of Ralston.
Collins, who is on active duty with the U.S. Air Force in Iraq, was allowed to vote by proxy. State Rep. Mark Hamilton, R-Cumming, cast Collins' votes.
"I feel like I did the right thing," Benton said following the caucus. The lawmaker said Ralston had commitments of 45 votes Monday morning. While the vote was not officially announced, an observer placed the tally at 75-25 in favor of Richardson.
State Rep. Carl Rogers, R-Gainesville, made a surprise nomination of Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ranger, for majority leader. Graves, a conservative Republican, was evicted from his office in the Capitol after he voted for former state Rep. Mike Evans, R-Cumming, in a hotly contested vote for the state Transportation Board.
"He's young and he's got new, fresh ideas," Rogers said in his nomination speech. "His leadership depth is crucial. His ability to listen is steady and he has a hard work ethic."
Rogers said Keen, a former state chairman of the Christian Coalition, had told him he was planning to announce a bid for governor.
Keen denied he already was campaigning or had accepted donations for governor. He has been mentioned as a likely GOP contender against Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine, who already have announced their intentions to run.
Rogers threw his support behind Graves, who lost by a 70-30 vote Monday.
"We'll see," Rogers said when asked about the possibility of political retribution. Rogers currently is vice chairman for economic development on the House Appropriations Committee.
Collins was stripped of the chairmanship of the Children's Health Issues subcommittee following his vote in January for Evans.
Benton, who is completing his second term, is secretary of the House Education Committee.
State Rep. James Mills, R-Chestnut Mountain, made no secret of his support for the current leadership. He declined to speculate on any political fallout from his colleagues' votes, however, he said their support of opposing candidates is likely to weaken the delegation's overall political muscle.
Richardson and Ralston each made passionate speeches following their nominations.
After the results were announced, Richardson and Ralston embraced at the well of the House, then Richardson briefly took the well.
"Enough speeches for the day. I won't disappoint you," Richardson said.
Richardson, who once served as floor leader for Gov. Sonny Perdue, has clashed with Perdue and Cagle.
"It's time to get a new lieutenant governor," Richardson told the House in the final minutes of the 2008 session.
However, any political posturing likely is to be overshadowed by the state budget, which is facing a shortfall now estimated at $2 billion.

This page is meant to give general information about pursuing sociology as part of the MAIS (as minor area), as well as to help you through the process of applying for admission and moving through the graduate degree.
You can find more detail on admissions criteria and procedures at the OSU Graduate School website http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/ and the website for the MAIS degree http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/mais.html
If you have specific questions about admission to the Sociology Program, contact the Program Coordinator, Sally K. Gallagher, email@example.com.
The Sociology Program does not accommodate requests to declare sociology as a major area in the MAIS program, but on a quarterly basis it does review and accept qualified students wishing to declare sociology as a minor area of study. If a student requests to declare two minor fields in sociology, the areas of concentration within the program must be different. Sociology offers four fields of concentration:
When students apply for a minor field in Sociology, they must specify the area(s) of concentration (from the above list).
To ensure that students have adequately explored how the Sociology Program can contribute to their inter-disciplinary graduate education, and to ensure that the department has adequate personnel to assist students, prospective students, prior to applying, should first directly contact prospective committee members from among the Sociology faculty to inquire about their willingness to serve as a committee member. Faculty interests and expertise are indicated on the Faculty page of this website. With this provisional approval secured from the faculty member, students should then proceed with the normal MAIS application process (See: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/mais.html ). Applicants should indicate in their statement of purpose which Sociology professor has agreed to serve. Note that if two minor areas of Sociology are declared, then two Sociology faculty must be on the committee.
All students interested in applying for admission to the MAIS with a minor area in sociology must contact the Program Coordinator for the Sociology Program prior to doing so.
There are three relevant issues to be aware of when you apply: admission standards for the university and departments, the application materials required, and the timeline for application and admission. Note that international students have additional requirements for the application process and standards for admission.
It is important to know what the admissions standards are before you apply. The university sets general standards for all students. However, the Sociology Program has additional requirements that must also be met.
The Graduate School processes and evaluates graduate applications according to admission standards, including:
In addition to these, the Sociology Program also has some additional standards for admission:
If a student has not had the required background in sociology/social science, but does meet university standards, the department may give a "provisional admission." This would require the student to enroll in one or more sociology classes before beginning graduate study. The student would be required to earn a grade of B or higher in these courses.
There is further detail available on Standards for Admission in the Graduate Catalog. It is online at: http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/Default.aspx?section=Graduate
Applying for admission is described in detail on the OSU Graduate School website. The process is also outlined at http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/forms.php. An electronic application is available on the web at https://adminfo.ucsadm.oregonstate.edu/prod/bwskalog.P_DispLoginNon. Or at their mailing address: Graduate School
Oregon State University, 300 Kerr Administration Building, Corvallis, Oregon 97331-2106
Timeline for Admission Process: The Sociology Program reviews applications for admission once a quarter during the academic year (September 16 to June 15). The following scheduled should be used for applications:
|Term You Want to Begin Classes
|Deadline for Receipt of ALL Materials To the Sociology Program *
|May 15
|Nov 15
|Feb 15
* It is imperative that ALL materials reach the program by this date. So submit materials to the Graduate School in advance of this date. Incomplete applications will be deferred until complete.
Be aware that if you change your program in any way after it is submitted (e.g., changing major and/or minor areas), this is treated as a new application and may not be reviewed until the following quarter.
You will receive a letter from the Program when we receive your application. In that letter we will indicate if the application is complete, of if there are materials missing. The Graduate Admissions Committee cannot review your application until it is complete.
The Graduate Admissions Committee of the Sociology Program meets once per term (November 15, February 15, and May 15). The committee reviews the materials from students only if they have met the university's standards for admission and if applications are complete. We make a recommendation to the Program Coordinator based on the following:
After the Committee makes its recommendations, the Program Coordinator will contact the student with a decision. A letter will also be sent from the Graduate School. If a student does not hear from the Program within one month of our receipt of a complete application, please contact Program Coordinator, Sally K. Gallagher email@example.com
When you receive a letter of acceptance from the Sociology Program you should contact the faculty member who has agreed to serve on your committee.
In addition to meeting with the student's major advisor in the program listed as the major area of concentration, the student should contact the sociology faculty member(s) on the committee. At this meeting you will get help on selecting appropriate courses for the minor area(s) of concentration you have chosen. Your sociology committee member/s will also be interested in any early thoughts on your ideas for a thesis or research paper.
Students should review the "Graduate School Guide to Success" available at the Graduate School office in Kerr Administration, or on the web at http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/current/success.html This guide sets out important timelines necessary to remember on the way to graduation. One critical and early deadline:
Note: The 18 hour rule is in force for the initial filing of a program. Students can (with the approval from affected units) change their programs (including their areas of concentration and departmental affiliations) after filing the initial program.
You can obtain the forms for filing a program online at: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/current/forms.html. Plan on meeting with your advisor each term.
MAIS students with a secondary area in Sociology must complete a minimum of 9 credits in Sociology. The MAIS program requires that students complete 9 units in each of the three fields; at least 12 credits in the College of Liberal Arts; and no more than 21 credits in any one field unless the 45 credit total has been exceeded.
Also, MAIS students with a secondary area in sociology are required to take EITHER a "theory-based" OR a "methods-based" course. Courses can be selected from the following:
Reminder: All students must meet the prerequisites for these courses.
Discuss the options of a thesis versus research paper with your major professor and with your sociology minor committee member. Once you have decided on an option, you will need to observe the appropriate guidelines.
You need to write a Thesis Proposal and present it to your committee. The thesis proposal can be presented at your Program Committee meeting (required prior to the completion of 18 credits). However, if you do not have a thesis idea formulated at this point, you should plan on a second meeting with the representatives of your three substantive areas to discuss your thesis plan. Remember that the thesis option requires that you integrate your three areas of study into your project.
Theses must follow Graduate School guidelines. Obtain the style guide from the OSU Bookstore or from the Graduate School website: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/current/success.html
A meeting of your graduate committee is not required for a Research Paper proposal. A student selecting this option works primarily with the major professor (Graduate Committee Chair). Criteria for style and organization of the research paper are at the discretion of the major professor. However, it is strongly recommended that once the major professor accepts a proposal for a research paper the student then distribute it to all committee members for feedback.
When completed, both the thesis and the research paper must be presented before the student's committee for approval. Students must follow Graduate School Procedure on scheduling the final defense. Those rules are found online at: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/current/success.html
Oregon State University holds a spring commencement each year for those obtaining advanced degrees at any time during the previous academic year. Deadlines for application and receipt of degrees are found online at: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/grad_school/current/success.html

TGMY's EV Himiko gives 550km on a Single charge to your Mazda Roadster Mitsuoka
Category: Electric Vehicle Environment - Tags: electric car, Electric Vehicle, Ev, Himiko, Maza, Mazda MX-5, Mazda Roadster, Miata, Mitsuoka, Roadster, TGMY
TGMY has turned Mitsuhoka Himiko, a "tuned" Mazda roadster with unique "retro" style bodywork, into a powerful EV Car capable to reach up to 550km of range on a Single Charge.
The secret here is simple, more the better and TGMY tuner Himiko comes with 168 lithium polymer cells quadrupling the normal amount of cells that we usually find in such car. A nice little achievement but TGMY does not speak of the speed used for this test, we assume that in order to reach such mileage TGMY had to run as smoothly as possible with speeding like a maniac on highways.

Good morning and happy Friday! We made it to the weekend!
My next door neighbor and friend had her third baby boy a few weeks ago. I knew I wanted to bring them dinner and scrolled through my Pinterest boards for ideas. I usually make a lasagna or a hot dish for friends, but because it has been so hot outside, I decided on a simple summer salad with grilled chicken and a homemade vinaigrette.
This salad looks fancy, but it's all in the presentation! This is so easy and the homemade dressing takes less than 5 minutes to whip up. I paired it with a loaf of store bought bread and some homemade ice cream sandwiches. This comes together in no time!
*Spinach & Romaine mixed together
*Hard boiled eggs
*Almond slices
*Grilled Chicken (I just butterflied 2 chicken breasts, drizzle EVOO, add McCormick's seasoning to both sides, and grill in a pan on the stove top. I keep a lid over them at a high heat to get that "grilled" look and taste)
*Blue Cheese crumbles (I put this on the side because I know blue cheese is one of those things you either love or you hate!)
*Avacado (I decided to not cut these before taking to them because I wasn't sure exactly when they would be eating. I wanted them to stay fresh)
Garlic Lime Vinaigrette:
*1/3 cup olive oil
*zest of one lime + 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
*1 clove minced garlic
*2 Tablespoons honey
*2 Tablespoons heavy cream
*1/2 teaspoon salt + 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pour ingredients together, shake, and chill.
Our friends live right next door, so I was able to take dinner to them on this tray with some fresh cut stems from the yard. Love is in the details for me. :) xoxo
You can find the original source for this salad recipe here.
P.S. I'm tagging along on a work trip with Steve next week, so it will be radio silence around here. I'm excited to explore a city I've never been to! Be sure to follow along on Instagram to see pics from the trip!

Five Minute DIY Ribbon Wreath
Good Monday morning! After the July 4th, I took the star "wreath" down from the front door and needed a little something to get me through the rest of the summer. If you have been reading for a while, I usually make my own wreaths, and I like to change it up. This one is about as easy as it gets!
You all know my affinity for a black/white stripe, and this ribbon speaks to me. I picked up two rolls of this ribbon at Joann Fabrics and had about half a roll left over in my stash. There is no glue involved in this project, simply wrap and secure with pins.
This is a smaller wreath form that I also had hanging out in my basement. One roll of ribbon only covers half of this small wreath form (it's deceiving!), which is why I needed two. I secured the beginning and end of the roll with push pins. Make sure to pull and wrap the ribbon tight.
I used the extra half roll of ribbon to make a little bow. I tried adding different embellishments and color to this wreath, but decided I liked the pop of black and white against the black door. Flowers and pillows add color this time of year anyway.
Simple, easy, inexpensive….just the way I like it!! You could obviously make this with any ribbon in any color, but I think the black/white is always a classic choice! Hope you have a wonderful week! xo

DIY Faux Fur Runner
Hello! Welcome to the post on the simplest DIY project ever! I needed a runner for our office space and I wanted something with texture and something soft underfoot. I came across this image on Apartment Therapy and after a quick run to Walmart for some thread, and 10 minutes of my time, I had a 6.5 foot runner for $20! I already had two of these faux fur rugs from Ikea laying around, which made this very easy to accomplish.
All you need are two rugs (mine were $10 each from Ikea), some thread, and a needle.
I purchased a spool of thread from Walmart for a couple bucks. I choose heavy duty thread suitable for canvas.
I hand stitched the two flat ends together with a needle and thread. I am no seamstress and I don't sew, but I can thread a needle (and mend) and was able to connect the two rugs in about 10 minutes time. The best part is that your sew job doesn't need to be perfect because it will never be seen. The seam is covered by all the crazy fur...it's very forgiving! ;)
That's it! A custom, 6.5 foot runner for $20! I love how it pops off our new hardwood floors and is soft to walk on.
Here are some sneak peaks of our office space and new hardwoods. Almost everything in this space is from Ikea, so it seems fitting the rug is too.
Now, I just need to get my act together and finish styling this room so I can show you the rest of it!!

Blueberry Doughnut Muffins w/Lemon Glaze
Welcome to July! I'm not really sure what happened to June, but I intend to savor every remaining moment of what is left of our summer! We went early morning blueberry picking with some friends this week. I decided to come home and try a new muffin recipe that I found via Pinterest. Are you guys over Pinterest or are you still addicted? I still love and think I always will! I searched "blueberry recipes" and this one from My Baking Addiction caught my eye. I got busy and these turned out fantastic! A hint of lemon in the glaze, and a dense texture make this recipe a keeper!
We have found a great patch, The Berry Patch, for all you KC locals. They always have the sweetest berries and it's a fun experience for the kids. The patch was absolutely packed and they get picked out often, so plan ahead! This is a fun yearly tradition for us.

The ingredients in this recipe are ones you probably already have in your pantry, with the addition of lemons and blueberries. Hard to beat the taste and beauty of fresh-picked!
Blueberry Doughnut Muffins w/Lemon Glaze (from My Baking Additction)
Ingredients for Muffins:
zest of 2 lemons
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 2/3 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 1/3 cup fresh blueberries
Ingredients for Glaze:
3 Tablespoons melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon squeezed)
1 Tablespoon warm water
1-Preheat oven to 425*. Line muffin tin or spray with non-stick spray.
2-Combine lemon zest and white and brown sugars in a medium sized bowl. Incorporate.
3-Add butter and oil to sugars and beat. Then add eggs and vanilla and combine. I used an electric hand mixer.
4-In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture and the milk a little at a time to the wet ingredients. Start with the flour and end with the flour. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
5-Spoon the batter into muffin cups and fill almost to the top.
6-Bake for 15-17 minutes. Mine took 16 minutes to become slightly golden brown and cooked through in the middle. I would start watching them around 13 minutes.
7-Allow muffins to cool. Make glaze by combining all ingredients and whisk until smooth.
8-Turn the cooled muffin upside down and dip into the glaze.
Here they are right out of the oven...
And with the glaze...
We ate these with breakfast burritos for dinner. They are basically a dessert muffin, so they could be served at any time! Delicious! We gave a few to our friends that we went blueberry picking with. I also heated one up for breakfast this morning and it was just as good!
These would be cute served with a strawberry smoothie for 4th of July morning! You could have a little red, white, and blue action. Let me know what you think if you try them! And don't forget to follow along with me on Pinterest! xo

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A landmark trial over whether Florida legislators broke the law when drawing up new political maps for Congress is reaching its conclusion.
Attorneys for the Legislature are expected Tuesday to put their final witnesses on the stand. Both sides in the case may give closing statements on Wednesday.
It will then be up to Circuit Judge Terry Lewis to decide whether or not legislators violated a 2010 constitutional amendment.
The "Fair Districts" amendment states that districts cannot be drawn in a way to favor incumbents or members of a political party.
Lewis has already stated he plans to render a verdict in the case by the end of the month. Lewis could order legislators to draw up new districts although it is likely the case will be appealed either way.

Download of the Week - The Tiger Who Came to Tea
Star Rating - 5.
Downloads - 20,618
What is it?
A collection of printable sequencing cards and pictures for lessons on the story The Tiger Who Came to Tea.
How can it be used?
These cards can be used with workbooks, or as whole-class activities to introduce children to the story, or as a refresher activity once the story has been told. Using the cards as visual aids will improve pupils' comprehension of the story.
Classroom ideas
Divide the class into teams and give each one a set of cards to put in to sequence. Suggest that pupils colour in each card first, to focus their attention on what is depicted in the picture. You could also print the cards in larger format and give one to each group, and then display them in the classroom once they have been coloured in. Encourage children to make up their own stories using the cards and see what alternative scenarios they can come up with.
Why is it successful?
This is an effective visual tool to engage pupils while also emphasising the meaning of the story.

Otley Cycling Club had a medallist in the National Cyclo-Cross Championships last Saturday in Bradford – but you had to be there early to catch it.
The first race of the weekend at Peel Park was for the under-eights, and Emily Middlebrook came third behind Anna Kippen (Leeds Mercury) and Astrid Hiley (Pedalsport).
The non-championship races incorporated a large section of the BMX course on the Cliffe Road side of the park, with their ups and downs catching several riders unaware.
The downhill start was on soft grass, with the riders then tackling the BMX section before travelling uphill behind one of the football pitches before cutting across in front of the trees before heading downhill back to the start line.
The classiest rider on view was under-12 boys' winner Charlie Craig (Scott UK), whose elder brother Tom won the under-16 boys' race in the championship proper and whose dad Nick won the veterans' race to complete an incredible family treble.
The rider with an Otley connection who had the best hope of a medal over the main course was Adela Carter (Team Hope Factory Racing), the former North of England and Yorkshire Points Series winner.
Ex-Otley resident Carter, who now lives in Sheffield, was eighth in the women's race at 7min 26sec.
Otley Cycling Club's Ryan Middlemiss was 39th in the under-14 boys' race at one lap, while clubmate Andrew Moxon was 92nd in the men's veterans' race at one lap (41st in the 45-49 years' category) and Pete Middlemiss was 93rd (42nd) at two laps.

Lou Thomas, a longtime library director for the Morning Advocate and State-Times who helped transform the newspapers' libraries into a news research center, died Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark., her family reported.
She was 93.
Thomas served as library director for the two newspapers from 1954 to 1985, according to biographical information from The Advocate's library system.
She began her career with the Morning Advocate and the now-closed State-Times in 1946, working as a secretary to the newspapers' general manager, C.P. Liter, before taking a few years off after her two sons were born.
Liter offered Thomas the library director's job when she returned to work in 1954, said Anne Legett, a former Capital City Press employee who worked in the library with Thomas.
Under Thomas, the libraries at the newspapers expanded from rooms for reporters' unwanted files to a research center now integral to The Advocate's news reporting process.
In 1985, Thomas helped convert the newspaper's many files of printed articles into a digital format now accessible in a computer database. That database was marketed worldwide through the DataTimes information network.
Linda Lightfoot, a former executive editor of The Advocate, said Thomas always had reporters' interests at heart.
"She would go out of her way to go and find extra things that would help you understand the subject matter," Lightfoot said. "She really was a reporter's dream."
Dean Thomas, Lou Thomas's son, said his mother had great relationships with all of her newspaper colleagues.
"She was very dedicated to her job," he said. "I know she really loved working at The Advocate (and State-Times)."
Thomas became a member of the Special Libraries Association's News Division in 1965 and served on its executive board from 1975 to 1979.
The Louisiana Library Association named Thomas its 1983 winner of the Lucy B. Foote Award for her contributions to the library profession.
Born in the Sabine Parish village of Fisher, Thomas received her bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston.
Thomas also was involved in a number of philanthropic efforts in her career. She was the Morning Advocate and State-Times' United Way chairman in 1979 and was a member of the search committee for the 1989 Golden Deeds award recipient.
"She was just a wonderful person who had interests beyond the newspaper," Lightfoot said.
Funeral arrangements are pending, Dean Thomas said.

Cities of Service is a national nonprofit organization that supports mayors and city chief executives in their efforts to engage local communities and residents, identify challenges, and solve problems together.
We work with cities to build city-led, citizen-powered initiatives that target specific needs, achieve long-term and measurable outcomes, improve the quality of life for residents, and build stronger cities.
An independent, nonpartisan organization, Cities of Service was started in 2009 by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Today, the Cities of Service coalition is comprised of over 215 cities in the US and UK, representing nearly 55 million people in 45 states, and more than 10 million people in the UK.
Cities of Service is changing the paradigm of how government and its citizens work together to bring tangible change, build a community of trust, and create stronger and more vibrant cities with bright futures.
Mayors and other city executives are the champions of the Cities of Service approach. Through strategic engagement with their communities, they are able to activate volunteer-based resources to address urgent needs.
Communities consist of a diverse set of stakeholders—including residents and city employees—all of whom are equally invested in the strength of their neighborhoods. Together, these citizens take ownership of what matters most to them and are given the tools to achieve positive results. Through this process, they become heroes in their own communities, building lasting connections to city hall.
Our approach creates an authentic civic infrastructure of engagement that builds stronger cities, better able to withstand ongoing challenges, natural and manmade.
We are supported by a network of national and local partners who collaborate with us to engage citizens through community-specific interventions.

work up an appetite then take a hot shower and be really dry and cozy and eat some delicate tender meats?
with wine. and a puppy
then we'll lounge on a bear skin rug and tell each other harrowing tails of almost failed adventures through the northern passage
and the legends of the lost cruise ship adrift in the ocean somewhere that is now inhabited only by rats, who by now, have resorted to eating eachother.
I wonder how long that closed system could last. Assuming they had fresh water, how long would it take for the energy of the entire system to be used up on movement and heat. there should be another fievel goes west where fievel is trapped on the rat boat and ends up being one of the last two rat mice. that would make an excellent children's movie.

that part of consciousness between being awake and asleep

And how amazing the future will be

With the performance analysis, we see an even greater advantage to the PS3 conversion than with the original game. With the PS2 almost literally being pushed to its limits, frame-rates suffered. In our tests, the performance difference on average between God of War and its sequel is anything up to 10FPS across a series of averages, and the sequel also has a tendency to tear more too. The PS3 port of God of War 2 soaks up the additional load, once again only really exhibiting difficulties when overdraw is an issue. Generally speaking, it runs just as smoothly as the port of the original game, but the graphical upgrade is self-evident.
Put simply, the God of War Collection is an absolute triumph and its approach to the thorny issue of backwards compatibility presents remarkable results. If you have a launch PS3 with full hardware support for both the emotion engine and the graphics synthesiser, you can play God of War and its sequel with an experience that is totally identical to the original PS2 releases. However, this collection exercises the power of the PS3 in producing a game that looks, feels and plays tangibly better to the point where the visual upgrade alone is more than worth the price of admission. Just about the only criticism you can have concerns the pre-rendered cinematics - still only 480p, and a stark reminder of the quality drop you get playing the game in its original native resolution.
The question is, can the approach Sony Santa Monica chose be extrapolated to other games? And just how good would the original standard-def assets in other major PS2 hits look when upscaled to high definition?
The latter question can be answered in a relatively straightforward manner. An open source, completely legal PlayStation 2 emulator called PCSX2 has been in development for some years, but in the last six months, the speed and quality of the code has improved enormously to the point where it is relatively easy to play your PS2 titles at HD resolutions at a sustained 60 frames per second - just like the God of War Collection. The previous comparison shots show that PCX2 does a decent job of bringing out the additional detail inherent in the God of War art, and it proves to be equally valuable in exhibiting the potential of a number of other games. First up, how about an ICO/Shadow of the Colossus showcase? The results are quite beautiful.
Square-Enix's Final Fantasy games on PS2 are rightly celebrated as being wonderful visual showcases for the hardware, and in these shots of FFX and FFXII, once again we see a beautiful level of clarity once the assets are running in a native HD resolution. However, what is interesting to see here is just how often Square worked with 2D art, super-imposing 3D art on top (a similar approach is used in FFXIII too). In these cases, the upscaling of the 2D assets doesn't quite work.
And finally, the same process is used to show a potential HD rendition of Metal Gear Solid 2 and its Snake Eater sequel. A top-end Core i7 PC with GTX280 manages to run all of these games at some extreme HD resolutions at a fairly solid 60FPS, with just the occasional slowdown or glitch causing performance issues. The notion of spending thousands of pounds on a PC to run age-old PS2 titles is of course faintly ludicrous, but if this level of performance can be achieved by software emulation carried out by coders with no direct links to Sony, it suggests that the platform holder itself should be capable of some pretty amazing results - especially on its next-gen platform.
Of course, as of right now, the God of War Collection exists mostly because of the lack of PS2 emulation within a majority of the PS3 units Sony has sold worldwide. There have been rumours of a software-only solution being developed, stoked by YouTubevideos showing 40GB PS3s stuck in Service Mode being able to boot and initially run PS2 titles, but as of right now there is no complete solution.
Of course, there is nothing to stop developers porting over their wares in a similar fashion to how Bluepoint converted across the God of War code. But just how difficult that will most likely vary on a project-by-project basis. In his interview with IGN, Sony Santa Monica's John Hight talks about how the clean nature of the original C code, combined with input from the original team, made the transition to PS3 relatively straightforward. Other developers don't use the same framework - for instance, Naughty Dog ran its own LISP-based programming language, known as GOAL, during PS2 development before switching to C++ while creating Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
While backwards compatibility efforts have now been discontinued on Xbox 360, with software emulation progression something of an unknown on PS3, you can't help but think that a more coherent backwards compatibility strategy will be deployed for the next generation. In this respect, there is a huge amount of potential for not just running old games on a new system, but giving them a new lease of life via improved resolutions and frame-rates. Both God of War Collection and the PCSX2 emulator demonstrate how there is a wealth of potential in old games waiting to be unlocked, and that is exciting not just for gamers but also for the bean-counters at publishers and developers too.
And that principle can be extrapolated forward too with current-generation titles running on next-gen hardware. Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins are great examples of big games where the console versions run with pared-down visuals compared to their PC counterparts, which are designed to look great at 1080p and even higher resolutions. If the art is already there, why not "remaster" those games with graphical and performance-related benefits? So long as the price is right, and the upgrade is worthwhile, we are so there.

Download Autoruns, to control Startup options
Autoruns is a free utility that will show you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and what extensions load into various Windows processes, including Explorer and Internet Explorer.
A "Hide Signed Microsoft Entries" option helps you focus on third-party auto-starts.
If you don't want an entry to be active next time you boot or login you can either disable or delete it. For items stored in startup folders Autoruns creates a subfolder named Autorunsdisabled. Check a disabled item to re-enable it.
You should delete items that you do not wish to ever execute. Do so by choosing Delete in the Entry menu. Only the currently selected item will be deleted.
If you are running Autoruns without administrative privileges on Windows Vista and attempt to change the state of a global entry, you'll be denied access. Autoruns will display a dialog with a button that enables you to re-launch Autoruns with administrative rights.
There are several ways to get more information about an autorun location or entry. To view a location or entry in Explorer or Regedit select Jump To in the Entry menu or double-click on the entry or location's line in the display.
You can view Explorer's file properties dialog for an entry's file by choosing Properties in the Entry menu. You can also have Autoruns automatically execute an Internet search in your browser by selecting Search Online in the Entry menu.
I've never used a similar program that gave so much information about startup options. In fact, Autoruns is so detailed, some users will find it difficult to follow, preferring that it showed less…

About this font family
The basic letterforms for this typeface were found on a 1920s French poster for Les Arts de Feu by an unnamed artist.
The stark geometric forms have been dressed up with an outline treatment, a drop-up shadow and a non-traditional small cap arrangement to make it even more striking, in a spooky kind of way.
Both versions of the font include 1252 Latin, 1250 CE (with localization for Romanian and Moldovan).

Get enough rest
It's very easy to be skeptical when one of your children is claiming to be ill, conveniently on a Sunday night before school. However, allowing them to take time out to get some proper rest might be just what they need to get over this bug. If you force them into school, they might end up feeling worse and then have to take more time off as a result.
I usually end up playing house nurse by delivering copious amounts of soup and glasses of water to bed ridden family members. Winter is the perfect time to get some rest and work off any sleep debt you might have built up. The longer nights give extra opportunities to get the recommended six to nine hours sleep.
Keeping warm over winter is also a good way to prevent colds from developing – so be generous with that thermostat! Read this article by the NHS on why keeping your home warm over the winter is beneficial.
Have your medicine ready
Venturing out into a blizzard to buy painkillers is the last thing you want to when you're ill. For that reason, I'd recommend you fill your medicine draw with as many painkillers, congestion tablets and cough syrups as you can.
The winter time is when my husband and I get back on the daily supplements train. These vitamin D supplements from Pharma Nord are a godsend when the sun abandons us. They support muscle functioning and promote a stronger immune system. Fish oil supplements are also a great addition to your winter diet. It's nice to have different sources of nutrition instead of having to cook a varied meal every night.
When you're giving medicine to your children, always check with your doctor that the treatment is suitable. Paracetamol and ibuprofen are both available in liquid form and can be taken by children from the age of three months. Again, it's important that you check the directions of use before you do.
Stay hygienic
A hygienic household is a happy household. I try to pre-empt viruses and bacteria by insisting that the kids wash their hands regularly. It's a difficult habit to develop at first, but it's well worth the effort. We all wash our hands thoroughly before eating and every time we use the bathroom. The kids and I wash our hands at the same time; that way they don't feel like their being nagged, and I can make sure they are washing away all those germs under their fingernails.
Once you've recovered from a cold, I'd recommend buying a new toothbrush to reduce the chances of reinfection. Whenever we are recovering from being ill, I will completely decontaminate the house by sanitizing all the surfaces, changing all the bedding and taking out all the bins.
