I go to sleep and six pages later you're still talking about food and beer!
Nooooo. Somehow I'm down more than a pound this morning and hoping that it sticks.

Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?
I'm far too important and busy to read all of this. Cliff notes anyone? Feel free to embellish.
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive.
I'm confused!
I slowly disappeared around May, and on my attempted return I find this thread... (I mean I feel like a new-comer all over again)
What has been going on? I managed to get to page 10 and learned that RW online have a lot of spam (yuck) that people are moving here (yey) and then it gets all fuzzy Maybe I just do not get US humor.
I'm still in the same community that gives the constructive kick in the behind when needed, right? (just checking)
Some german beer available, if there are any takers.
Ok, I feel better now.

All I want to know is why George decided to append "-rw" at the end of his username here.
Anyway. This forum has a PM function that works better than RWOL's. Perhaps that might be a useful tool in this type situation.
George, you are a nice guy who has been super helpful to many folks for years on RWOL. Sorry your home got hit by a spammicane and people are trying to move away. Change is hard.
Anyway, I know a great many RAers in real life, bhearn a bit better than most. If his post does not come across as super welcoming, then, perhaps read it with a funny accent if that helps.
Yall are welcome. Smooches all around.
(I suspect George went with -rw because he wants the ability to read and write on these forums. )

Much to my disappointment, wcrunner was already taken. To hopefully avoid confusion yet still make it easy for the RWOL folks to identify me, I appended -rw like RW did several iterations ago on their upgrades when they merged all the Rodale forums under one system.
Hey Stevie, when I invoked your name, we found common ground. Then the cookies and beer talk started. Then most of us had a group hug before it was over.
See, your name can unite groups of people.
Yes, but you could have gone with -ra.
(that? Is a bit of a joke. No serious-ity intended).
All will be right in the world.
Gonna be alright.

HTC unveils HTC One M8 Ace Vogue, and it has a new name
Just last week (May 29th) it was revealed that HTC was to bring out the long-awaited pared back version of its flagship device the HTC One M8.
The company's Chinese website lifted the lid on all the details of the device, including the fact that it would be called the HTC One M8 Ace Vogue Edition, combining the two names that most had been debating over for the past few weeks.
However, the company has now announced that the handset will have a different name in the western world than it will in the Far East, as it finally formally announced all we need to know about the HTC One E8 – a bit of a tidier name and less of a mouthful, we feel.
So was anything else different to the details that were posted on the Chinese HTC site? We have a look at some of what the company revealed on its latest release.
Design and specs
It's been the biggest talking point – perhaps alongside the name of the device, actually – but the HTC One E8 comes with a pretty slick looking design, albeit plastic rather than the prime metal chassis that was shipped with its more prime sibling.
The only other difference that can really be seen on the outside of the phone is with the cameras on the rear. While the HTC One M8 came with a duo of snappers, the E8 will ship with just one lens.
In terms of weight, the phone is lighter than the HTC One M8, but will also feel a little bulkier, with only slightly additional girth at 146.42 x 70.67 x 9.85mm compared to the 9.44mm girth of the M8.
Buyers will be able to get their hands on the E8 in a number of different colours, including white, red, blue and grey.
But the good news for those considering trading in their phones to get their hands on the new HTC is that is where it ends for the downgrading of the flagship, by and large.
Internally, all of the major hardware remains, giving the new device a list of specs that really matches up to the more expensive handset.
It will ship with a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage, microSD slot, Android 4.4 KitKat with Sense 6 and 2600mAh battery.
The device also retains the 5-inch HD screen from the One M8 and the Boomsound speakers on the front.
Release and price
There's no news yet on either the release date or the price of this handset, but that hasn't stopped the rumours and leaks from trying to establish some sort of commonly held belief.
At the moment, we feel that this device's price will come in somewhere between the flagship device and the HTC One Mini 2, which is already on the market. With the specs it is packing, however, chances are it will come with a price tag closer to the higher end of the market.
In terms of release date, we could see the HTC One E8 at some point in the next couple of months. It is unlikely that the company will want to see it go past the end of summer without a release, but for now the only confirmed launch is that which will come in China this month.

RE: MacBook
Assuming the base and kernel is left untouched (from FreeBSD), it's likely you will have problems with PC-BSD... The 7.x series has an issue with Apple USB keyboards (on macbooks at least) and 8.0, 8.1-RC2 as well as 9.0-CURRENT will not boot; failing on an ACPI error (disabling ACPI at the loader presents a different boot problem).
I'm still waiting for a realistic solution on http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=12289&page=1 if you'd like to be kept up-to-date on the issue.

My preferred course of action was to 'unlock' the default Linpus installation. While this unlocking process is documented quite well on the AcerAspireOne.com community website, it's not a single process per se; you need to unlock several things, and Acer hasn't exactly made it easy. Somewhere in the process I made a mistake, and before I knew it, I was receiving HAL errors that proved unfixable. Fed up, I decided to go with Ubuntu. The installation and optimisation process is well documented and easy enough to accomplish. This gave me the default Ubuntu desktop on my One, and I figured I would share some screenshots with you so you get an idea of how GNOME handles smaller screens.
I obviously made a few changes to the default desktop (apart from theme and icon pack changes) to make GNOME better suited for small screens. Most notably, I set all fonts sizes to 9pt, and chose my favourite typeface (Trebuchet MS). This greatly reduced the size of various labelled widgets and menus, saving precious screen real estate. The sans-serif Trebuchet MS happens to be very readable at smaller point sizes. To reclaim even more screen space, I disabled the text underneath toolbar buttons.
I also reworked the two-panel layout, something I always do anyway on GNOME. However, I did opt for the single-icon menu instead of the Applications/Places/System trio, for obvious reasons. The small menu takes some getting used to, but it's not that big of a deal.
I didn't exactly have high hopes for GNOME on smaller screens, but with the above changes, it is very much usable. I was afraid Evolution would be completely unusable, but using the vertical layout, it is actually quite pleasant to use:
As Linpus already showed me, OpenOffice.org works really well too:
Most GNOME settings dialogs have no problems whatsoever...
...but some aren't exactly working well and need some love.
And, well, let's just say not all applications like being on a small screen.
Overall, using GNOME on such a small screen is not an unpleasant experience, but it does need some work here and there when it comes to settings dialogs. It is up to the distributions to make proper panel layouts and font choices for their netbook variants.

6:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 7/3/2014 and 7/27/2014.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
Hudson Warehouse presents The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Directed by Nicholas Martin-Smith
A farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.
The mission of Hudson Warehouse is to present the classics in exciting productions inspired by our past and relevant to our present day. We want to educate the novice and enthrall the well-versed. We embrace the traditional and innovative, the classical and the modern classic. Through the dedication, passion and intelligence of all our theater artists, we bring these works to life. When our work elicits a true emotional response from an audience member, this experience reaffirms that theatre is a "ware" that is essential to daily life.

Talk:Replacing all drives in a Terastation
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
Apologies for the many edits. First time editing a wiki... ;-)
Very good guide, thanks. WizardFusion 22:54, 10 October 2006 (CEST)
Thanks WizardFusion for the reformat. Very nice.
Did a couple of minor edits to correct a few things and included the line about not having to create a RAID5 if that is not desired.
- No problem, I actually like writing documentation! ;) WizF
Can I suggest that we change the name of this page to "Replacing all drives in a Terastation" ? Since editing most of this page into the third person, its now more of a general guide. Do you have any issues with this?
None at all!
I am begining to like this colaborative wiki idea too much... ;-)

Dunkin' Donuts updated the Dunkin' App, the brand's mobile application for payment and gifting, now enabling users to receive mobile offers, which are for special discounts and promotional offers on Dunkin' Donuts food and beverages.
People who download or update the Dunkin' App to their iPhone or Android smartphone can enjoy mobile offers via a new "My Offers" tab, where they can receive exclusive, geo-targeted regional offers for Dunkin's famous coffee and other favorite menu items, such as breakfast sandwiches, redeemable at certain participating local Dunkin' Donuts restaurants.
Some markets will make Dunkin' Donuts mobile offers available beginning this week; others will launch later this year or in early 2013.
Redeeming a Dunkin' Donuts mobile offer is as easy as selecting an offer in the "My Offers" section of the Dunkin' App, tapping to redeem it, and then showing the offer's QR code to a Dunkin' Donuts crewmember to be scanned.
Examples of Dunkin' Donuts mobile offers planned for select markets over the coming weeks include special deals such as a 99-cent medium hot chocolate, a buy-one-get-one small coffee offer, and a free Turbo Shot with the purchase of a hot coffee.
John Costello, Dunkin' Brands chief global marketing and innovation officer, says Dunkin' Donuts' mobile offers both reward loyal fans and maintain a level of engagement that distinguishes the brand throughout the country.
"Our busy guests are always on the go, and we know they are increasingly reliant on their mobile devices," he adds. "Delivering special discounts and promotional offers directly to their mobile devices highlights our unique value proposition and deepens the connection we have with people who make Dunkin' Donuts part of their daily lives.
"We are excited to enhance our Dunkin' App with mobile offers, and to continue to make it even easier for on-the-go people to run on Dunkin'."
With the Dunkin' App, running on Dunkin' is quicker and more convenient than ever before. Guests can easily use their Dunkin' App to pay for food, beverages, and merchandise at participating U.S. Dunkin' Donuts restaurants by scanning their Dunkin' Donuts Cards stored in the App either in-store or at the drive thru.
The Dunkin' App also allows guests the option of sending Dunkin' Donuts Cards to friends, family, and colleagues with the mGift feature. Dunkin' Donuts Cards can be mGifted three ways: text, e-mail, and Facebook Connect.

Havelock is no Los Angeles, but for Heather Penney, Havelock is home.
Havelock is no Los Angeles, but for Heather Penney, Havelock is home.
"I love the people," she said. "They�re just so friendly when you go somewhere. It�s not like they give you a look. Out here I can pass by somebody I know every day. They wave to you. You just know this is home. It feels like that."
Penney grew up in Los Angeles and came to Havelock as a flight attendant.
"It was busy all the time, and you didn�t feel closeness like you do here," she said. "There are a lot of green trees here. I like the changes in the weather."
The consumer advocacy website NerdWallet ranked Havelock as the 10th best city in North Carolina for young families, a designation that didn�t surprise the Penney family.
"It�s very personal," said husband Michael Penney. "People are a lot more friendly. It�s an actual community. It feels like you�re part of one huge family."
Michael Penny has lived in Havelock for nine years, and wife Heather has been here for 19. The couple has four children.
"The people here are so easy to get along with and make friends with," Michael Penney said. "It�s so picturesque. To be able to take 20 minutes and go to the ocean is just wonderful. The community projects that you see going on around here for families and children, the respect that everyone has for the military and for my background in law enforcement is phenomenal."
According to a release, NerdWallet factored in the quality of public schools, average home value, cost of home ownership, average income and economic growth to create an overall score. The nine places ahead of Havelock in the rankings were all near bigger metropolitan cities such as Charlotte or Raleigh. Havelock was the only city east of Interstate 95 in the top 10.
"It has a small town feel because we were involved in the community either with the school or through the church," said Kelli Kirwan, who with Marine husband Charles Kirwan has raised six children in their nine years in Havelock. "We were able to know a lot of different people. It�s a very military friendly community."
She said the family decided to stay in Havelock even when her husband was transferred to Camp Lejeune near Jacksonville.
"We opted to stay in Havelock because we were settled in the community," she said. "We had a good support system between our church family and the youth sports our children were a part of. We didn�t want to leave that."
NerdWallet mentioned outdoor recreational activities in its survey, and Havelock-area schools rated a seven on a scale of one to 10.
"The teachers really dedicate themselves and they care about your child," Heather Penney said. "The teachers will get up with you not just for bad things but to let you know that your child did this great thing today. You know they�re getting the education they need and they�re safe and cared about when they�re not in your home. I like that they�re close to home so that I can be there in a matter of minutes if I need to be."
The survey said that Havelock had seen strong growth since 1999, while the cost of home ownership remained a comparatively low $1,269 per month.
"We found that the house was affordable," Kirwan said. "Most everything is pretty affordable much more so than if we had gotten sent to the West Coast, especially with such a large family. We were more than happy with Havelock."
However, she said the family would soon be moving to Texas when her husband retires.
"It�s been positive," she said. "When we leave Havelock, we will leave with very, very good memories and some great friendships. We�ve been here the longest we�ve been anywhere."
Morrisville, located between Raleigh and Durham, was ranked as the top city in the state for young families, according to NerdWallet, followed by Mooresville, Holly Springs, Indian Trail, Apex, Chapel Hill, Matthews, Cary and Wake Forest.

Zion National park, Utah. The Narrows is one of the most unusal hikes in the Colorado Plateau. Hiking in the Virgin river for a third of the hike, the river runs canyon wall to canyon wall. Most hikers will wade waist deep a few times. We hiked 3 mile in reaching what they call Wall street. A tripod is needed due to low light and a walking stick. Get an early start to avoid people. The man in the picture is a friend we meet up with there. Hiking the Narrows is rated #5 in the National Geographic ranking of Americas best 100 adventures.

"Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her." Matthew 26:13.
Suggested Further Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
The evangelists are of course the historians of the time of Christ; but what strange historians they are! They leave out just that which worldly ones would write, and they record just that which the worldly would have passed over. What historian would have thought of recording the story of the widow and her two mites? Would a Hume or a Smollet have spared half a page for such an incident? Or think you that even a Macaulay could have found it in his pen to write down a story of an eccentric woman, who broke an alabaster box of precious ointment upon the head of Jesus? But so it is. Jesus values things, not by their glare and glitter, but by their intrinsic value. He bids his historians store up, not the things which shall dazzle men, but those which shall instruct and teach them in their spirits. Christ values a matter, not by its exterior, but by the motive which dictated it, by the love which shines from it. O singular historian! You have passed by much that Herod did; you tell us little of the glories of his temple; you tell us little of Pilate, and that little not to his credit; you treat with neglect the battles that are passing over the face of the earth; the grandeur of Caesar does not entice you from your simple story. But you continue to tell these little things, and wise are you in so doing, for truly these little things, when put into the scales of wisdom, weigh more than those monstrous bubbles of which the world delights to read.
For meditation: God usually bypasses those who look great to the world and in their own eyes; he desires people who are after his own heart, however inconspicuous they are in the world's sight (1 Samuel 16:7; Luke 3:1-2).

JP Morgan CIO retires, Obama says proves reform case
The leader of JPMorgan Chase & Co's hedging unit is retiring after trading losses that could end up exceeding $3 billion, a shortfall that President Barack Obama said might have led the government to step in had such losses struck a smaller bank.business Updated: May 15, 2012 09:03 IST
The leader of JP Morgan Chase & Co's hedging unit is retiring after trading losses that could end up exceeding $3 billion, a shortfall that President Barack Obama said might have led the government to step in had such losses struck a smaller bank.
The Federal Reserve meanwhile said it is now looking into whether JPMorgan has similar risk problems at other units, joining a probe by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and upcoming hearings in the US Senate.
Late Monday, a leading shareholder law firm said it filed a federal lawsuit against JPMorgan and various bank officials over the trading loss and its effect on the bank's stock price. A JPMorgan spokeswoman had no immediate comment.
The news of the losses has wiped nearly $19 billion from JPMorgan's market capitalization in just two trading days and renewed the debate about financial regulation and the concept of being "too big to fail."
"This is the best, or one of the best managed banks. You could have a bank that isn't as strong, isn't as profitable making those same bets and we might have had to step in. That's exactly why Wall Street reform's so important," President Obama told ABC's "The View" in an interview taped to air Tuesday. The network released a partial transcript late Monday.
JPMorgan said chief investment officer Ina Drew, 55, who was among the highest-paid executives at the bank, had decided to "retire from the firm."
She will be succeeded by Matt Zames, a trader by background who is well-versed in risky financial bets. He was at one time employed at Long-Term Capital Management, a hedge fund whose 1998 collapse nearly caused a global crisis. Zames has in past been tabbed as a potential successor to Dimon.
The bank's statement made no mention of two subordinates of Drew who were involved with the trades -- London-based Achilles Macris and Javier Martin-Artajo -- who sources had said would leave. A memo Zames sent to staff, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, said only that Macris would "transition his ... responsibilities."
"I am proud of the firm's efforts over the past several days to address our mistakes and pleased to join the dedicated employees in our chief investment office today," Zames wrote.
Shares of JPMorgan closed 3.2 percent lower at $35.79 on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday. Ratings service Moody's warned Monday the trading losses were a
"credit negative" for bondholders as well.
But one investor called the sell-off "a gift" and said he was adding to his position, with an expectation the stock would rise roughly a third from current levels by year-end.
"Dimon has fallen on his sword, promised to take action, tossed a few players under the bus ... nothing left to be done that is not already under way," said Edward Shill, chief investment officer of QCI Asset Management, which held more than 280,000 shares as of March 31.
'No clue' on prop book
The departure of Drew after 30 years at JPMorgan comes after the unit she ran, the chief investment office (CIO), mismanaged a portfolio of derivatives tied to the creditworthiness of bonds, according to bank executives.
Drew reported directly to Dimon, who was known to visit London to meet with traders from the CIO unit, including Macris. That said, it remains unclear how involved Dimon was in the precise details of the positions.
JPMorgan, the biggest US bank by assets, also said that Mike Cavanagh, CEO of the Treasury & Securities Services group, would lead a team of executives overseeing its response to the losses.
In appointing Cavanagh to coordinate the bank's response to the loss, Dimon is turning to a long-time prot g . "Jamie usually gives him jobs heavy on management and strategy," said a former JPMorgan executive.
One hedge fund manager who previously ran a proprietary trading book at JPMorgan said the bank's public commitments to trim risk were at odds with its network of trading groups making bets independently, with only a handful of the bank's most senior executives notified of their vast, complex exposures.
"This (CIO) group was completely separate, completely distinct from the prop-trading unit. We had no clue about their prop book and they would have no clue about ours for that matter," the manager said.
Regulatory scrutiny
The mammoth losses have marred JPMorgan's reputation for risk management and thrown an unflattering spotlight on Dimon, a critic of increased regulation. He is scheduled to speak on Tuesday at the bank's annual meeting in Tampa, Florida.
"JPMorgan is one of the best managed banks there is. Jamie Dimon, the head of it, is one of the smartest bankers we got and they still lost $2 billion and counting," Obama told ABC. At one time Dimon was considered a favorite for Treasury secretary in a potential second Obama administration.
Dimon has said he is open to regulatory scrutiny of the losses, which the White House confirmed on Monday was under way.
"There is an investigation into what happened at JPMorgan that the SEC is conducting," White House spokesman Jay Carney said, declining to elaborate.
A US Treasury official said the Financial Stability Oversight Council had not convened to discuss the losses and did not plan to. The Senate Banking Committee plans to hold hearings in the coming weeks on Wall Street reform, it said on Monday, during which it will likely press US regulators about the JPMorgan losses.
The Fed said late Monday it was reviewing JPMorgan's risk practices across the firm.
Past performance
Until the loss was disclosed late Thursday, Drew was considered by some market participants as one of the best managers of balance-sheet risks. She earned more than $15 million in each of the last two years.
According to JPMorgan's last annual proxy statement, Drew would be entitled to the continuation of almost $14.7 million in stock awards in case of resignation, provided she had met "full-career eligibility" criteria.
A JPMorgan spokesman did not immediately return calls for comment on whether she will retain all the compensation awards. Drew could not immediately be reached.
"Ina is an amazing investor," said a money manager who knows her but declined to be identified. "She's done a really good job over a lot of years. But they only remember your last trade."
Her expertise was in balancing the interest-rate risks of the banks' loans and other assets against the rate risk associated with its deposits and other liabilities, said veterans who have worked with her.
JPMorgan described Drew's replacement, Zames, as a "world-class risk manager and executive."
Before joining JPMorgan in 2004 he ran prop trading in the interest rate group at Credit Suisse First Boston, having joined CSFB from a trading job at Morgan Stanley. He was seen as one of the winners in 2009, when Jes Staley reorganized JPMorgan's investment bank, taking on the fixed income co-head role.
Last summer, the Wall Street Journal listed Zames among a group of senior JPMorgan executives in their mid-40s who were thought to be potential successors to Dimon.

Nest 2.0 just added more features today. It may or may not be compatible with your utility's smart grid, however. It now does dual fuel!
Nest Labs announced the thermostat's latest update today, which packs in several features that should make the sweltering summer heat more bearable. And as with all of Nest's updates so far, the new features even work for the early adopters who picked up the first version of the thermostat.
Here's a rundown of the new stuff:
Sunblock: This helps you avoid issues that may arise from direct sunlight hitting the Nest. Typically, this could lead to overcooling in the summer and underheating in the winter. Nest relies on its light sensor to tell when it's in direct sunlight, and it adjusts its settings to compensate when the sun is beaming down.
"Now you can basically put the Nest wherever you want with no worry," said Maxime Veron, the head of Nest's product marketing, in an interview with VentureBeat earlier this month.
Advanced Fan Control: Gives Nest owners more control over how their fans run. You could let your fan run throughout the night to bring in cool air or at intermittent times during the day to keep the air fresh.
Cool to Dry: A feature designed for extremely humid climates, this lets Nest optimize your air conditioner to keep your home from getting too humid. It's more efficient than letting your AC run all day, and it could help you avoid pesky mold problems.
Intriguingly, the feature takes advantage of a humidity sensor that's been in the Nest since day one. Before the sensor was just used to maintain comfort levels — now it's powering an entirely new feature.
Nest's "auto-away" functionality has also been improved, and updated mobile apps enable you to change the temperature with a mock scroll roll rather than just boring arrows. The new Nest software include Auto-tune, which enables Nest owners to save money on their cooling costs under certain energy providers.
You may end up saving more energy than you're using! If so, please contact us.

Article Date: February 8, 2010 | Publication: The Movie Perspective | Author: MajaTerzic
Source: The Movie Perspective
Directors: Mark Neveldine, Bryan Taylor
Cast: Gerard Butler, Amber Valetta
Stage: City's colloseum (multiplex cinema)
Gamer in short: Set in a future-world where humans can control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online gaming environments, a star player from a game called "Slayers" looks to regain his independence while taking down the game's mastermind
Preps: My colleague drags me on a culture day to see a movie. I don't really know anything about it. At first I think that I have tried to see this already at home and gave it approximately 10 minutes before erasing it, but I see it's something different. So I take part of this lottery gladly. You need to do something cultural and not why in cinema, on national culture day?
An interesting idea, similar to Avatar's - you get to see two dimensions in one world. One is the player and one is the action hero - this time in reality. In Avatar, it's vice versa. From real life to action hero. Here you are playing with real toys and it seems so logical, how it may have come down to this (in a sense, how did all this occur, that again a brilliant mind takes over the crowds). With all the social network, avatar, internet fuss going on in the last decade, seems even believable. Although I don't buy the technology. I am not a phisician or a medical expert, but I doubt that we could evolve a technology to be embedded into one's brains letting someone else guide the movements while the persons are still being themselves (switch on/switch off). The economy in this concept that movie shows fascinates me and I truly believe it to be a business success. A genious idea and yet, so disgusting it rocks the blood in my veins.
You get payed to be a part of the world where someone, that pays to guide you, actually guides you/controls your movements. In other words, has to do what you tell him/her to. A bit slavish, I think. But brilliant and creepy. All the dirty details some creepy creatures wanted to do for their whole lives (in this case, a fat boy experiences sex with a male, night clubbing, etc), and all the things one wanted to do and didn't dare to (make a tatoo, pierce your tongue 20 times, let the neighbourhood dog piss on your high heels while you are wearing them), well, all this now comes to reality. You pay one to do what you want, wear what you want to wear, speak what you are saying. Superb. Even hurt or kill yourself, if your godfather tells you to.
The whole movie is one of those that remind us where the world is going to - in sense of making internet, games, social networks, computer world not only popular, but essential to survive. And emphasizing what rich people are allowed and where poor people find themselvses in. Something apocalyptic in the whole story. But I buy it and it touches me.
Gerard Butler here is the survivor, the man on the path that (a bit usa stylish) turns to be a successful one. Gerard also excelled in The ugly truth (see it, truly funny and true!), I love his performance here. The new Bruce Willis, I presume.
My personal rating: 8,5 (inspiring, making shivers down my spine when I imagine the world like this). And I want to have a computer room just like that rich nerd - Simon. Who wouldn't anyway

The Department of Community and Regional Planning offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science degree. The primary purpose of the program is to develop skilled practitioners for the dynamic and growing field of Community and Regional Planning in the government, non-profit, and private sectors. Students develop an understanding of the physical and economic issues of planning; sensitivity to the social and environmental impact of planning decisions; and knowledge of governmental structures as they apply to planning. These skills place students on the front lines of efforts to create and maintain sustainable communities. The program builds on the traditions already established in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, which has a long history of involvement with land use issues, and the Center for Sustainable Communities.
The Philadelphia suburbs, including those near Ambler in Montgomery County, are experiencing the difficulties associated with population increases: the exponential growth of schools without an adequate tax base; the stress on groundwater and other aspects of the natural environment; the loss of open land to tract housing; the construction of shopping malls and the accompanying decline of small central towns; and the emphasis on the automobile at the expense of public transportation. Community and Regional Planning courses help students develop skills to address these issues by emphasizing the preparation of urban/suburban plans, including data collection; site analysis; and evaluation of location, market, transportation, and environmental factors.
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 5 years
Ambler, Harrisburg
Required and elective courses are offered in the evening at both campuses. The program may be completed at either site. Students may choose to take electives, when available, at other Temple campuses.

Kim Kardashian Back in LA Pictures
Kim Kardashian Returns to LA Without Rumored Boyfriend Kanye West
Kim Kardashian arrived at LAX last night with a small entourage following her three-day stay in NYC. She was on the East Coast promoting the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, premiering May 20, and hanging out with her reported boyfriend Kanye West. Speculation about their relationship started mounting on Wednesday when Kanye dropped a new single, "Theraflu," containing insightful lyrics about his feelings for Kim.
That same day the pair were spotted together leaving a screening of The Hunger Games. On Thursday the couple dined on fried chicken and macaroni at Manhattan's Cafeteria, and it was also rumored Kim had a hickey on her neck. When asked about the relationship Kim wouldn't confirm or deny any details, but did say, "you never know what the future holds."

The saber-toothed cat, Smilodon, was a predator that roamed North and South America during the Pleistocene Epoch. Smilodon first appeared on the fossil record about 2 million years ago and apparently became extinct about 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. Smilodon is an ancestor of modern cats and was approximately the same size as an African lion, but more powerfully built. Sporting a pair of seven inch canine teeth, Smilodon undoubtably was a powerful predator capable of taking large prey.
The largest concentration of fossils from this species, Smilodon fatalis, were found in the Ranch La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles, California. At Rancho La Brea (approximately 40,000 years ago to 4,000 years ago) deposits of tar would seep out of the ground and form pools. These sticky pools of tar created a unique natural trap for animals. Like most predators, Smilodon would sometimes scavenge the remains of animals. When scavenging at Rancho La Brea, predators risked being lured into the tar and becoming trapped. Smilodon fatalis is second only to the dire wolf in the number of fossils from the tar pits. Other fossil evidence found there implies that humans and saber-toothed cats may have briefly coexisted at Rancho La Brea.
Although the evolutionary occurrance of saber-teeth is an interesting phenomenon, it is not entirely unique to Smilodon. During the last 60 million years or so, at least four different orders of mammals developed saber-teeth independently of each other on three different continents. In spite of their different lineages they share some common characteeristics. Most were built for ambushing rather than chasing down their prey. To accomodate their large teeth, most saber-toothed animals could open their mouths in a gape of 90-degrees or more. This is impressive compared to the 70 degree gape of modern cats.
The ambush-style of hunting, enlarged canines, and wider gape suggests that Smilodon hunted large prey animals with thick hides. Since the saber-teeth of Smilodon would have shattered upon impact with bone, the canines were probably used to pierce the throat of soft underbelly of its prey. Possible prey animals of the Smilodon include mammoths, mastodons, American versions of the camel and horse, bison, and giant ground sloths. Smilodon probably became extinct when the large animals it hunted died out.

For the last 15 months the 8800 GTX has represented the most powerful graphics card that sane people were willing to buy. Sure, the 8800 Ultra is slightly faster but at a cost of over $600 it is reserved for those with gross amounts of disposable income. From the start, we were able to run SLI with the GTX and get incredible performance.
Nowadays the GTX is starting to become long in the tooth as far as graphics cards go, 15 months is a very long time with nothing faster to come along. The latest games are certainly pushing even a pair of GTX's to unplayable levels at higher resolutions. So what are we owners of 30" LCD monitors to do to get playable frames at our native resolution? Enter 3-way SLI, a fully functional and much sorted extension of last years Quad SLI. NVIDIA has been hard at work on multi-GPU performance and with the limitation of only 3fps pre-render in Direct X9 and below out of the way in Direct X10, the stage is set for extremely expensive graphics solutions.
It is not much of a secret that NVIDIA is prepping a new multi-GPU solution due out in just a few weeks so the announcement and successful launch of 3-way SLI is no doubt a precursor to the Quad SLI solutions on the way. For those who do not remember, Quad SLI was plagued by the fact that for the money, it was a horrible investment. It offered very marginal performance benefits in all but a select few applications and thus never adopted as the true high-end solution. Today we will be seeing how far the technology has come along as well as what it requires to get this level of performance.
Triple SLI looks great on paper, check that, it looks good on paper as long as you're not referring to the green sheets in your wallet. The requirements are an NVIDIA SLI certified motherboard with 3 16x PCI-E slots, currently consists of either a 680i, or 780i motherboard, which round out the Intel based offerings. The ill-fated AMD 4×4 platform should also support it provided you can get an SLI adaptor that will work with the spacing. None of these boards is below the price of $200 until you cash in the mail-in-rebate. There are also a number Jetway motherboards with three x16 slots supporting AMD's Athlon 64 939 but we have not been able to confirm if it is supported and processor bottlenecking could be a concern on 939 platforms. For our review we'll be using an XFX 780i motherboard.
Next up you will need three of the same video cards in either our beloved 8800 GTX or 8800 Ultra flavors. There is no support for the recently released G92 based 8800 GT, or 8800 GTS of any variety due to only 1 SLI bridge tab. This is shame as the G92 8800 GT and GTS offer excellent performance at their respective price ranges, outperforming even the mighty Ultra in some situations. I suspect that the only reason the GTX and Ultra are still around is to support Triple SLI, ensuring that NVIDIA makes top dollar from those looking for the top performance. G92 based Triple SLI would be great for consumers, as it would lower the power requirements and heat produced by the system, thus reducing not only purchase price but operation costs as well. I'm sure it boils down to some marketing madness, which clearly is out of scope for our article.
Speaking of power requirements, they are heady indeed. The full lineup of eight Triple SLI approved power supplies can be found here and the lowest wattage is 1100W! A quick scan of Newegg turns up only one of those power supplies, the PC Power & Cooling 1200W model at $559 (plus $12.02 shipping). As I was mentioning about G92, lower power requirements would be welcome here. Although it isn't on the approved PSU list, we used a Thermaltake 1000W unit that was more than up to the challenge.
Finally, you're going to need a CPU capable of feeding three of these power hungry beasts. An Intel Core 2 based dual core or quad core at 3GHz is highly recommended. The E8400, E8500, or the $979- QX9650 would be our picks. For our review however we have stepped up to the yet to be released QX9770. This CPU is the fastest thing you can't buy today with 4 CPU cores operating at 3.2GHz, front side bus is at 400MHz to ensure that intercommunication between the twin cores have plenty of space to talk. If that's not enough, we turned it up to 3.6GHz to see what performance might be left under the table due to CPU bottlenecks.
So our base price comes to $3210 before memory, disk drive, optical drive, a case to store it all, and of course shipping charges. Clearly, this an excessive system that very few will own and represents a middle-of-the-road entry to the world of Triple SLI. Trading our 8800 GTX's for 8800 Ultra's brings the cost up to $3675. If you want your system to really perform add another $210 for overclocked Ultra models.

Ford Arena will be hopping with thousands of pro wrestling fans as the WWE returns to Beaumont on Saturday, May 11, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are on sale at the Ford Park box office and all Ticketmaster locations, and the card looks spectacular.
Headlining the main event will be WWE champion John Cena and Sheamus teaming up to face "The World's Strongest Man" and Silsbee native Mark Henry and Ryback.
The WWE tag team titles will be up for grabs as champions "Team Hell No," including Kane and Daniel Bryan, defend the gold against The Shield. Other matches that are scheduled include "Y2J" Chris Jericho vs. Fandango; R-Truth vs. The Shield's Dean Ambrose; Diva's champion Kaityln, who is from nearby Houston, defending her title against Tamina; Adrian Neville (of WWE's development organization NXT) vs. Michael McGillicutty, who is the son of the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Henning; and Zack Ryder facing off against NXT's Bray Wyatt.
Also scheduled is United States champion Kofi Kingston versus Antonio Cesaro, the very man Kingston defeated to win the title. After a recent string of losses, Kingston defeated Cesaro on April 15 on "Raw," snapping Cesaro's 240-day title reign.
This is the third U.S. title reign for the 31-year-old Kingston, who was born in Ghana then came to the States and enrolled at Boston College, then graduated before deciding to become a professional wrestler.
The Examiner spoke with Kingston over the phone about what to expect from a WWE live event and more.
What does it mean to hold a coveted title in the WWE?
First and foremost, I have always been a WWE fan. Historically speaking, some of the guys that have held the United States championship include Dusty Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat. These are guys that I used to look up to growing up, so for me to be holding the same title as them is quite an honor. They took it to another level and left big shoes to fill, and I definitely try to fill those and do the United States championship some justice. On top of that, anytime you can be a champion in the WWE, you are basically a representative of the entire company and are one of the best on the roster. You are not a champion unless you are 'that good.' Not to toot my horn, but I take pride in being a champion and showing every single match why I deserve it.
I'm glad you mentioned Ricky Steamboat. What was it about 'The Dragon' that made him one of your all-time favorites?
I love all sorts of kung fu movies and loved to watch stuff like 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' 'The Karate Kid' and 'Power Rangers' growing up, and my favorite guys in WCW and WWE were the high flyers, and he was a hybrid of both of those. He was a combination of a high-flyer and a martial artist, and that drew me to him, plus he would breathe real fire on the way to the ring, plus he always wore colorful outfits, and I use bright colors and a lot of that is because of him.
When you signed a developmental deal with the WWE and began training, was that high-flying style something you wanted right away?
It was one of the things I had in the back of my mind, but I was fortunate to be coached at one time by Mike Hollow. He told me it was always more important to get your basics down. It was always about the basics for me, and there are probably a lot of things I can do in the ring that I don't do because it's not warranted in the story we are trying to tell. I like to be able to tell a great story while I'm in front of the WWE universe, and then put a little pizzazz on it with the high-flying moves. It stands out more that way and it means a lot more.
How great is it working for a company like WWE?
It's amazing. There is so much stuff that we do. We are called WWE Superstars; that's because we are a lot more than just wrestlers. We do different charity work with Make-A-Wish Foundation, the National Guard, among others and we go on tours to Afghanistan to show our appreciation for the soldiers. There are tons and tons of stuff we do, and being an employee of the WWE, you wear different types of hats.
You didn't get to work Wrestlemania 29, but you were a part of the preview show with the likes of Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Ross. You got great reviews. How different was going on the other side of the ring to do that?
At first, I was definitely upset that I was not on the card. Looking on the positive side of that, I was able to do something that had never been done before. The preshow analysis was an awesome experience. I got to talk what I love to do with two Hall of Famers like Jim Ross and Dusty Rhodes. The banter was great, and it was fun to talk about the show, which had a lot WWE superstars making their first appearance at a Wrestlemania. It was a great experience.
What can Kofi Kingston fans expect in 2013? And those who have never been to a WWE live event, what can they expect?
My 2013 started off dismal. I had only won maybe one or two matches up until I beat Antonio Cesaro, so you never really know. That's what makes WWE great. You have to keep your eyes peeled each and every week to see what is going to happen. Anyone who has never been to a WWE live show, I strongly encourage you to attend one. You will never forget the experience. WWE has the best athletes in the world, and we tell great stories. Guys like John Cena, Sheamus , Ryback and Mark Henry, who all are great in the ring, have four different styles. Team Hell No is dynamic team of Kane and Daniel Bryan, and fans love them. You look out in the crowd and you see people of all ages and lots of families. This is a family oriented show. Come out, make your sign and I guarantee you will have a great time.

Now the tax games have begun. As of Jan. 30, the IRS was ready to process the tax returns for all of those seeking their refunds. To some this is the only way of saving money which enables them to buy long-awaited household items, for others it is a down payment on an vehicle of their choice or even for a long anticipated vacation.
The refunds are generally a result of a combination of factors coming into play. Some workers actually have more withholding tax taken out of their pay than necessary. This way they are assured of a large payment during the spring of the year. Others have very large itemized deductions that lower their taxable income to make the refund possible. Yet others have used the various credits available. There are a series of non-refundable credits that only reduce the total tax due and ultimately affect the amount of refund available. If the credit is greater than the tax due, there will not be any payment to the filer on the excess. The most popular of these are the Child and Dependent Care Credit and the Affordable Opportunity Credit which relates to educational costs. Each one of them has to be calculated on separate forms and accompany the full 1040 Form.
On the other hand, there are refundable credits that directly influence the amount that will be returned. The most prevalent one is the Earned Income Credit which is available for low-income filers that meet certain criteria. For instance, a couple filing jointly with two children and the combined income of less than $22,300, can receive up to the maximum of $5,536 even though their withholding tax is less than this amount. Since this credit is subject to many abuses, tax preparers are under great pressure to perform four due diligence requirements when completing the form. The IRS has created a Form 8867, Paid Preparers Earned Income Credit Checklist that also must be attached to the original return. In the event the preparer does not meet all of the four requirements, a penalty of $500 per each item can be asserted.
Other refunds available
In the event new information comes to light regarding a previously filed tax return, an amended claim can be submitted within three years of the original filing date or within two years when the tax was paid. In the case of a late filed return, the 3 year reverts back to the date the return was due. In the event the taxpayer is unable to manage his financial activities due to a disability, an extension to this 3 year rule may be granted. The claim can be as a result of a Net Operating Loss or from data that was previously overlooked such as additional deductions not previously claimed. A Net Operating Loss however, occurs when the deductions for the year exceed income. They can come from trade or business losses, deductions for employee work expenses, moving expenses or rental property losses. Theft losses which are a form of casualty, are allowed to be carried back to a prior year in it's entirety if the amount is greater than the income for the year of discovery. Those who have invested in various "promotions" and later found they were swindled or part of a Ponzi scheme fall into this category. The investment must meet certain criteria to distinguish it from a stock loss which limits the deduction.
Observation: "The best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time." - Abraham Lincoln

2. Homemade: The Ultimate DIY Cookbook, Featuring Over 200 From-Scratch Recipes by Yvette Van Boven, published by Stewart Tabori & Chang, $45. A burst of color for your kitchen! Homemade focuses on DIY (preserves, kitchen scraps, etc.) to create gorgeous and colorful meals, and the cover illustrates just that. Hand-lettering and collage-like photography pepper the pages from cover to cover.
3. Fried Chicken & Champagne by Lisa Dupar, published by Southern Accents, Inc., $38. Photos by Kathryn Barnard. A local favorite in the Seattle area, Lisa Dupar of Pomegranate Bistro & Catering created this cookbook as a labor of love and a testament to fine cooking. This one is full of breezy, effortless photos and delightful comfort food recipes. Make it a point to try out those cherry pop tarts on page 211!
4. Fresh & Easy: What to Cook and How to Cook It by Jane Hornby, published by Phaidon, $45. An adendum to the wildly popular What to Cook and How to Cook It (above), Hornby created a summery, fresh-produce-and-barbecue-inspired book that is full of tasty treats. Plus, it looks great on your shelf!
5. A New Turn in the South by Hugh Acheson, published by Clarkson Potter, $35. This one is for all of those meat lovers. Hand-illustrated and quirky in it's approach, this cookbook by Top Chef favorite, Hugh Acheson, is fun, lively and beautiful.

Hi I wanted to originally start a romance with Parchi (yes I understand that it isn't a main romance option) but took salomeya along and unintentionally started a romance with her. My question is if I end the romance with Salomeya and/or remove her from the party will that give me the flirt option with Prachi so the ending can reflect that or am I stuck with Salomeya and/or otherwise revive an ending with no romance options. Thanks
Had a question reagarding Prachi
