Congratulations to Mrs. Sheila Urquhart upon being selected as the SDM Teacher of the Year! Mrs. Urquhart graduated from Brewton Parker College in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education. She taught 4th grade language arts for five years before moving to 3rd grade to teach science/social studies.
Mrs. Urquhart's philosophy of teaching is a testament to the reason she was selected by the SDM staff as teacher of the year. "I believe first and foremost that a teacher should know, love and respect the students that enter his or her classroom. A wise and caring teacher meets each of his or her students on their level, taking into consideration their varied backgrounds. This can be difficult, especially when you teach all or most of the diverse populations of the school. It is my belief that no matter what background the child may come from, they have the ability to learn. Everyone learns at their own pace and in their own unique manner, so it is important for a teacher to provide appropriate instructional strategies which will create a positive, caring environment that allows every student to feel confident to take the risk to learn. In my opinion, an average teacher can learn to teach the curriculum, but the outstanding teacher has genuine concern for his or her students. Teaching the curriculum is the ultimate goal, but that really cannot be done successfully without building rapport with the students. The best reward in teaching is when a parent tells me their child shares with them what they learned in my class with excitement, and that they love coming in my classroom every day because they can't wait to see what they are going to learn. I know then that I have made a significant difference in the education and lives of my students."
Meadows Elementary is very proud to call Mrs. Urquhart our Teacher of the Year for 2012-2013. She is an exceptional educator, professional co-worker, and a role model for all.

Dial Corp. has discontinued its Nature's Accents specialty personal-care brand and cut an additional 180 stockkeeping units from its Sarah Michaels and Freeman Cosmetics brands. To the extent possible, Dial will attempt to reposition Freeman products under the Sarah Michaels brand, Mr. Baum said. All three brands were added within the past three years under former Chairman-CEO Malcolm Jozoff, who was ousted by Dial's board last month following Dial's third consecutive quarterly earnings warning.
The specialty personal-care cuts amount to about $32 million in annual sales, but should improve profitability, Mr. Baum said. The personal-care brands received $5 million in ad support last year, according to Competitive Media Reporting.
"It is a business that Dial didn't fully understand," Mr. Baum said. "It's very different from running evergreen, strong brand names that year-in, year-out you're selling pretty much the same products or improved versions. . . . The business is a fashion business."
Mr. Baum also appears ready to pull the plug on the Purex Advanced detergent brand launched earlier this year by its joint venture with German consumer products powerhouse Henkel. Dial has stopped production of Purex Advanced, which had built up a massive 15- to 20-week inventory backlog at major retail customers. Production may not be resumed, he said, though he has yet to meet with Henkel officials to discuss ultimate direction for the joint venture. That also leaves uncertain the disposition of the brand's $20 million Purex Advanced ad campaign from DDB Worldwide, New York.
"Adding high-tech to our Purex product line really flies in the face of what Purex stands for," Mr. Baum said. "It's a value brand."
But Dial will roll out Purex Double-Action Tabs early next year, most likely under the original blue-package Purex value brand, following Procter & Gamble Co.'s Tide and Unilever's Wisk into the tab segment (see story, Page S-8).
Although DDB currently handles all Dial advertising, the estimated $15 million account for the flagship Purex is in review. An executive familiar with the company's plans said the review has boiled down to a copy-testing shoot-out between DDB and BBDO, Chicago. Both agencies have produced TV spots for Purex tabs, and the assignment will go to the agency that gets the best audience-response score.
Mr. Baum was particularly enthusiastic about a new liquid Dial hand soap product that he said will roll out next year. It combines antibacterial properties, moisturizers, and improved foaming and rinsing action that he said would make it "the Colgate Total of its category." The dispenser is configured to accept only Dial refills, he said.
Renuzit has lost sales to S.C. Johnson & Son's Glade and Reckitt Benckiser's Wizard brands in recent quarters because product development glitches made it late into the oil-burning air freshener segment, Mr. Baum said. But he said Renuzit will launch an oil freshener with an on-off switch next year.
Dial has had discussions about selling the company in whole or in part, but has yet to receive any attractive offers, he said. Another option would be combination with one or more similar-sized package-goods companies, such as Alberto-Culver Co., Playtex Products Co. or Rayovac Corp., Mr. Baum said, though he said the difficulty of overcoming management and ego differences make such a combination less likely than an outright sale of Dial.

Eagles' Cary Williams not a fan of Patriots' 'diry play,' jokes
Philadelphia Eagles' Cary Williams not a fan of New England Patriots' 'diry play,' jokes
The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots were bound to get sick of each other after a pair of joint practices and a full preseason game.
Count Philly cornerback Cary Williams among those who have no love for Bill Belichick's crew. Williams, who played for New England rival Baltimore from 2009-2012, wishes his new team was a little bit more like his old squad in the attitude department.
"They came in there talking," Williams said of the Patriots, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. "They had a lot of jokes and tee-hees and laughs. Dirty plays that were going on."
Williams and Pats rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson were disciplined after a mini-brawl broke out after a whistle in last Tuesday's joint practice.
"There's a reason behind what I did," Williams told the Daily News. " There's a reason behind the madness. At the end of the day, I've still got to do things the way the coach wants me to do it, and I understand that, but it definitely would have been a different situation in Baltimore. It wouldn't have been a fun practice for the Patriots, I'll tell you that."

Yum's profit falls on China woes
Yum Brands cut its full-year profit forecast, citing a slower-than-expected recovery in its key market, China. Shares plummeted. Fred Katayama reports.
Yum's earnings looked more like yuck for investors. The company behind KFC and Pizza Hut reported third quarter earnings and revenue below Wall Street's estimates, and it cut its full-year profit forecast. Same-store sales for Yum's China division grew far slower than analysts' targets. The culprits: a strong dollar, and a slower-than-expected recovery in China. That's its biggest market for profit and sales. Its shares losing about a fifth of their value. Yum's challenges in China are in sum the 3Ms; a meat scandal, marketing missteps at Pizza Hut, and managing an economic slowdown. Reuters markets editor David Gaffen: SOUNDBITE: DAVID GAFFEN, REUTERS MARKETS EDITOR (ENGLISH) SAYING: " lot of people were trying to link the weak performances in U.S. stocks coming from mid August or so to China, and definitely it's part of it. You can kind of really put a chart up of China's main indexes and Yum brands and it certainly looks a heck of a lot closer." Separately, skincare products company Nu Skin's shares dropped sharply after reporting weak sales in China - leaving investors wondering what other companies could disappoint as earnings season kicks off.

They just celebrated their three month anniversary and are doing great. We received an update from their Mom:
Attached is a picture of the girls following their spa day. They are absolutely darling and make me smile every day!
We are into our daily routines and I think we have all passed that point where we are still getting used to each other – they are an integral part of my life now.
Cookie was the little play-master from the beginning, and Bliss the snuggler, but her daughter is now playing daily too and Cookie often jumps up to give me kisses. Funny, neither likes the other to intrude on their thing – haha. It has become part of our nightly ritual to go down to the family room after dinner for TV and playtime. Cookie still plays by herself for hours on end, but Bliss is grabbing toys too and likes to chew her toys on my leg (standing up at me on the couch). She is a fan of tug of war and the many squeaky balls in the house remain Cookie's favorite. Cookie is a very happy and energetic girl (she runs circles around Bliss and me, literally every day).
They are by far the happiest puppies I have ever known! Thank you, OBG!

Dear FoK,
please remove Euro Ares event and put Dragon Max event in instead......
Euro Ares is based on pure luck ....and usally always same ppl are in the weaker team/ team with full of alts.....
it is so frustrating to fight hard and have no chance to win cause week after week you have half of ppl afk or enemy side just double strong........ and reward for loosing team is just so bad.....
just make dragon max event..... everyone has same chance.... alts can F*** themselfs and it is fair to everyone
thank you very much...
Kind Regards
Sick customer
[Discussion] REMOVE EURO ARES TY
[Copy link] 9/1235 [Favorite]
Dear FoK,
deja vu
It was really nice and good event. Same players got the biggest prizes and my team was a trash can. (finished with 90 difference) but it s not important. I 'm happy that I was able to join it. it was funny The best event that I've ever joined. And to who is unhappy about prizes , modification stones can be farmed via Crete events.
Dragon max has same good rewards but for everyone not just for the ppl who have the luck to be in the winner queue... since team not changing much over time it is pretty normal to lose some weeks/months in a row.....
I dont understand why you want so much rewards? Lots of useless alts will get so much modification stones. And also there will be so much lag during that event. No need. Ares is good and must stay like this. And I hope FoK will not change it this event because one player wants it.
- Flamewars Rated on
funny boy.... alt with troll name posting stuff:D yeah no lagg at all anywhere ingame especially not euro ares event huh?:D also lots of players want dragon max as you can see if you would be active in forums:) i hope you will get on a lose streak for next months and enjoy the pain:)
I think it would be best if we have both, atm we have one week ares one week 2x crete on sunday. Why not make it 1 week ares 1 week dragon max with 1 crete every sunday. Everyone happy and we get all kind of events and rewards.
- killerondrugs Rated on
That would be the best, making Dragon Max event too often would kill Crete event even more since rewards difference is too big - making crete a waste of time
- Flamewars Rated on
probably crete should be changed that way that win give most boxes and not kills or something so ppl stop farming alts or only let friends pass certain areas
what rasstressen said sounds like an option too
For some reason fok grap modifi stone and dont give us too many
I guess igg dont want patch work fast
He said before only few team can clear instance full
We can t get many of modifi
Till fok change hes mind
how about add dragon max event on weekends there not euro ares
i love euro ares event every week a bit more....
It is perfectly balanced and every week different teams....
not always same ppl get afks and weak ppl just AWESOMEEEEE
and the drop from it.... wow I can not believe that you not remove euro ares from the game it has such a huge drop nobody need to buy IM anymore....drop is like 3x better than dragon max

Portuguese bank Novo Banco has been ordered to pay more than €700,000 to two former employees who were fired in 2016, when they were due to take early retirement, according to a Supreme Court ruling.
The cases concern two former directors of Banco Espírito Santo who were taken on by Novo Banco after the former institution was wound up by the Bank of Portugal in 2014, and who claim then to have signed early retirement agreements with Novo Banco.
The two employees later lost their jobs as part of a mass redundancy programme carried out by Novo Banco in the summer of 2016. As they did not agree with the terms of the deal, viewing the compensation as insufficient, they went to court to have the deal struck down.
According to the pair, the agreement initially made with Novo Banco was one under which they would retire early – implying much larger compensation.
Novo Banco, however, took the view that the 2015 agreements did not relate to early retirement, but to suspension of the employment contracts, with the result that the compensation offered – almost €66,000 in one case and €110,000 in the other – was correct.
The first court ruled in favour of the two complainants, and that the 2016 compensation should have reflected all salaries until retirement age. One BES director would therefore receive €540,556.25 and the other €186,989.58 on top of the €110,076.92 already paid in 2016.
Novo Banco appealed the decisions all the way up to the Supreme Court, which has now upheld the first ruling.
The 2016 redundancy plan saw at least 30 employees take Novo Banco to court, including many who were expecting to take early retirement. Another case in which they are questioning not only the amount of payoff but also the plan itself is still in the Lisbon court.
Since it was set up to take forward BES's viable commercial banking business, Novo Banco has been undergoing constant restructuring, with the loss of more than 2,000 jobs.
A majority stake in the bank was in October sold to US venture capital fund Lone Star, while Portugal's banking sector Resolution Fund retains the remaining 25 percent. A fresh restructuring plan is now being implemented, involving a further 500-plus job cuts.

Part 2 Summary
Three stragglers from the retreating British army reach a bombed-out house and pause to figure out a shortcut to the sea. High up in a tree hangs a pale, smooth leg, severed cleanly above the knee. Two of the stragglers are corporals, Nettle and Mace and the third is a private, Robbie Turner. The corporals defer to Robbie, who looks and sounds like an officer and can read a compass, the one skill they need to reach the coast. Robbie seeks privacy to examine a wound below his rib cage. It does not look as bad today.
Robbie knows they must stay off the road as they swing westward toward the setting sun. They come upon a farmhouse, where Robbie speaks to the owner in French. They push past the frail but energetic woman to drink and refill their canteens. Mace prepares hay...

AMD Radeon HD 7990 6GB Review - Malta Gets Frame Rated
The card we have been expecting
Despite all the issues that were brought up with our new graphics performance testing methodology we are calling Frame Rating, there is little debate in the industry that AMD is making noise once again in the graphics field. From the elaborate marketing and game bundles with all Radeon HD 7000 series cards over the last year to the hiring of Roy Taylor, VP of sales but also the company's most vocal supporter.
Along with the marketing though goes plenty of technology and important design wins. With the dominance of the APU on the console side (Wii U, Playstation 4 and the next Xbox), AMD is making sure that the familiarity with its GPU architecture there pays dividends on the PC side as well. Developers will be focusing on AMD's graphics hardware for 5-10 years with the console generation and that could result in improved performance and feature support for Radeon graphics for PC gamers.
Today's release of the Radeon HD 7990 6GB Malta dual-GPU graphics card shows a renewed focus on high-end graphics markets since the release of the Radeon HD 7970 in January of 2012. And while you may have seen something for sale previously with the HD 7990 name attached, those were custom designs built by partners, not by AMD.
Both ASUS and PowerColor currently have high-end dual-Tahiti cards for sale. The PowerColor HD 7990 Devil 13 used the brand directly but ASUS' ARES II kept away from the name and focused on its own high-end card brands instead.
The "real" Radeon HD 7990 card was first teased at GDC in March and takes a much less dramatic approach to its design without being less impressive technically. The card includes a pair of Tahiti, HD 7970-class GPUs on a single PCB with 6GB of total memory. The raw specifications are listed here:
Considering there are two HD 7970 GPUs on the HD 7990, the doubling of the major specs shouldn't be surprising though it is a little deceiving. There are 8.6 billion transistors yes, but there are still 4.3 billion on each GPU. Yes there are 4096 stream processors but only 2048 on each GPU requiring software GPU scaling to increase performance. The same goes with texture fill rate, compute performance, memory bandwidth, etc. The same could be said for all dual-GPU graphics cards though.
Continue reading our review of the AMD Radeon HD 7990 6GB Graphics Card!!
Maybe more interesting is that AMD is claiming the HD 7990 improves on the noise levels of the Radeon line, coming in below the GeForce GTX TITAN, a card released earlier in the year that we were incredibly impressed with. The problem is these results do not match our own testing - the Radeon HD 7990 proved to be louder than the TITAN and GTX 690 in our own results. More on that later though.
This should get PC gamers excited, especially considering I just recently was able to purchase a 50-in 4K television for $1299!
The Radeon HD 7990 will also be a part of the currently running Never Settle Reloaded bundle, but with the biggest collection of games we have ever seen! You get eight full PC titles when you buy one of these cards - Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution, Sleeping Dogs and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. That is a hell of a great collection of titles and even if you own a couple of them already, this bundle is worth a few hundred dollars at least. It puts the copy of Metro: Last Light that you get with the GeForce GTX 690 / TITAN to shame...
The Radeon HD 7990 6GB Graphics Card
Here it is, the AMD Radeon HD 7990 in all of its glory.
Continuing with the black and red color scheme, the HD 7990 is a good looking card though I do think it lacks the polish and class that both the GeForce GTX 690 and GTX TITAN exude. The HD 7990 uses a very large heatsink that runs basically the entire length of the board with three fans that apply direct air over the fins, rather that using a system that attempts to move the air from one side of the card to the rear exhaust. This is one of the reasons AMD was able to lower the noise levels of the card, well below what the HD 7970 reference design offered.
The display connections on the HD 7990 permit for five simultaneous displays, four mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI. If you want to connect six monitors to it though you are going to have to hunt down one of those mythical MST DisplayPort hubs...good luck with that. Five outputs though allows for an Eyefinity display and two more auxiliaries that should be enough for just about everyone.
Looking at the back of the card we see a plate that protects the rear PCB (a good thing) and the two GPUS spaced out on the PCB.
The HD 7990 does support CrossFire configurations so you can added another HD 7990 and in theory a single GPU HD 7970 card for triple CrossFire X scaling.
Two 8-pin ATX power connectors fuel the HD 7990 but are also set out just a bit from being flush with the card design. While that definitely keeps the card from looking as sleek as it could, it does make for a much easier installation and removal of the PCIe connectors. Function over form in this case.
If you are interested in board length, the HD 7990 is definitely the longest of the competitors here today. In the photo above you can compare it to the GTX 690 (middle) and the GTX TITAN (top).
Finally, for those Peeping-Toms out there, here is the HD 7990 stripped of all its covering, revealing the pair of Tahiti GPUs and the PCI Express 3.0 PLX bridge chip. That chip allows for as much as 96 GB/s of inter-GPU bandwidth so there won't be any issues with communication speeds and in fact it COULD improve things compared to pair of HD 7970s in some cases.
Very nice review Ryan. FPS does mean everything. Great methodology.
FPS won't mean everything anymore as soon as amd has a single feature like PhysX or TXAA that nVidia does not - then we will hear how IT MATTERS and is of utmost import, and definitely makes the purchasing decision for everyone...
I can hardly wait... since AMD is about 5 or 6 massive features behind nVidia, and all those of course do not matter at all, only fps, which as we all now must admit instead of just me saying it for years, amd FAILS AT cf FPS.
Man I tell you, I am so, so sick of it, I have been so sick of it for so long, for so many years, and now finally, I bask IN THE HOLY GLORY OF THE TRUTH ! AMD SUCKS VERY BADLY !
I told you all so for years, while I got kicked and stomped with lies and fanboy emotes gone wild, man is it ever good to be totally freaking vindicated.
I will add, no thanks and a pox on all you amd wackadoos that screamed for years about your amd loser cards. I have recieved zero apologies from all of you, and in fact, have seen EXACTLY ZERO APOLOGIES ON THE WEB FROM ANY OF THEM ! SITE OWNERS, AND ALL THE POSTERS !
Thus we can be certain it will all happen again.
You deserve nVdia.If it makes it easier to have special names for things that all modern graphics cards are capable of.
When nVidia gets Full directX11.1 support we'll talk.
Well I was waiting on getting my GPU(s) until this the 7990 was reviewed to make sure I wasn't missing out on a new CFX patch. Now the 780 is coming out in May....
What do with $1200? Dual 680 4GB or Single Titan OR Wait for 780 and pick up a couple of those.
You could buy a single GTX 680 and then contribute to our Indiegogo project? :)
Ohh Ryan....
Spamming your own site :(
Still If something, instead of a 680 it should be a Titan and then contribute a bit to PcPer :P
If you can't wait any longer to spend the money I would say Titan, as both dual GPU solutions still are not as smooth as a single card. And far more power hungry.
You can probably kill a man if you fling some of those cards at some unfortunate sap.
This testing methodology is deliberately created to make Nvidia look good.
I watch other reviews and the frame times don't look that bad.
Here Nvidia looks great and AMD look very bad. Plus a saw reviews where average and minimal fps are quite tight.
Others also used the
AMD Catalyst Frame_Pacing_Prototype v2 For Radeon HD 7990
and it showed nice reduction of frame latency. In time it can only get better
Testing methodology isn't deliberately created to make Nvidia look good, it was to show the issues associated with dual GPU.
The only reason NVidia cooperated was that they knew they had the issue fixed where as AMD ignored it for some time.
If Nvidia still had the issue, they would never participate in developing this testing methodology.
Luckily this method of not looking at FPS (started up by TechReport site) opened our eyes to something we have seen for some time but simply accepted it. And it Forced AMD to actually do something about it. And I have to say, they did an amazing job on it.
Read the last page, PCPer mentioned that driver too, just as a reminder it exists and shows promising results. But it isn't user ready yet, so doing entire review on it would be stupid.
Read Ryan's other article here: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Rating-AMD-Improves-CrossFire-Prototype-Driver
If you want another view, look at THG's version: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7990-review-benchmark,3486...
The result is the same, though their definition of a runt frame is far more forgiving (less than 2% of the screen, or 20 lines worth). However, they added objective testing at the end, with several different people taking blind tests. All of them found the 690 was smoother.
Also note Ryan is using REALLY old 314.07 drivers.
NV has 314.14, 314.22 and even 320's out now (heck they had a few others in there also). Not sure why he keeps using an ancient driver other than saving a lot of retesting.
NV has much higher scores in almost every game now.
Start testing with a new driver please. Every other review I've seen uses 320. You are at least a few months behind.
So AMD would look even worse vs the latest drivers.
7970 in CF is better deal if you are going to overclock the card. Seeing how power envelope and constraints is limited on this card, there is very little overclocking headroom.
Great Review Ryan and team.
Now what about those 780 rumors that just hit?
Message to AMD, fix your damn drivers! I agree they are headed in the right direction but they're still miles behind Nvidia on this issue.
I love your site, podcasts, and reviews. I cannot for the life of me figure out why you have once again railroaded AMD without trying any of the publicly available solutions to fix your issues? Can you at least acknowledge that Radeon Pro exists? I understand it is a third party program, but we are PC gamers, we tweak things, is it really that far of a stretch to imagine that in the real world we take advantage of Radeon Pro? I sometimes spend hours tweaking game settings before I actually start playing the game, I am sure most of your readers do the same, why do you continue to ignore the obvious?
Those things really didn't fix much and introduced other issues (Ryan covered that in an article that had the videos you could download).
Also, this! http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Rating-AMD-Improves-CrossFire-Prototype-Driver
For this review I didn't put a high focus on the RadeonPro solution because I knew and was playing with the prototype drivers from AMD - that is the REAL solution. I will still tryout RadeonPro eventually but that is just a hack or patch job in reality.
All due respect call it what you like it works??
Really love to see in depth report based on your experiences which I recognize are greater than most of us.
RadeonPro fixes the problem by limiting FPS. However, it has at least a couple draw backs you will see noted by different people.
1) It does lower your average FPS to work.
2) If a game has different average fps in different areas, you have to lower it to the worst case, lower FPS even more (skyrim users have to limit FPS for outdoors, even though indoors has much higher FPS)
Its fair to say that AMD currently requires more tweaking, its not fair to say issues cant be corrected, just my opinion. Look forward to the podcast later.
Maybe I just dont get or see it.... I had 7950 crossfire and picked up a GTX 690 somewhat cheap on Ebay and got frustrated very quickly when I couldn't get it to work as well as what I had. Tomb Raider was brutal if I turned on the hair and Bioshock took a lot of tweaking to get me where I was with the 7950's. Just sold the 690 (little profit bonus) and ordered a couple of Vapor X 7970's....
Tomb Raider had problems with the 314 drivers on Nvidia, the drivers that were current on release. Going back to 310 make it run great. I believe the most recent 314.22 drivers fixed the issue as well. Bioshock infinite is having troubles with both cards.
Anyways, the point isn't about FPS, but performance. Tomb Raider is particularly bad on crossfire by all accounts: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7990-review-benchmark,3486...
Hey Ryan i just wanted to say congratulation on the 10k mark you and your team truly deserve it. And don't let these trolls influence you man you're doing an amazing job. You write it we read it. Im going to contribute $10 this weekend.
No homo
i love you man
It is possible to disagree without being a "troll".....
Yes It is possible to disagree without being a "troll" but the real question is are you in a position to disagree.
Ryan, thank you.
AMD must be sado masochistic handing you one of these cards which does show positive signs that they may want to actually fix this.
I am excited for this. I'm not going to buy it but if AMD can improve their Xfire performance next time I upgrade it will definitely be AMD.
Thank you very much, Mr. Ryan I've been following your site and all of your articles for quite some time
And I'm very interested in the modern way to test the Graphics Accelerator
I need your consultation in some of the things in this regard
Hopes provide me with your Email
Thank you very much again
And continued the wonderful effort
Where can i buy the AMD Radeon HD 7990 6GB i cant find it anywhere!!
I've read another review (on tom's hardware) about 7990's performance, FCAT, prototype driver, etc, basically the same thing, although there was something i noticed.
In their benchmarks the hardware (FRAPS) FPS was also quite bigger for the prototype d. compared to the basic catalyst 7990. While for the observable FPS this difference is easy understandable, i found no explanation for the extra FPS.
Prototype driver just "arranges" the frames in a smoother way, but why it appears to produce more frames?
I am running this card with 6 monitors- 5790x2160 in games and getting high smooth frame rates. I have one of those mythical MST hubs (bought from the UK) and it works perfectly.
To each his own. BTW I sold my TITAN since Nvidia can never (their words) support more than 4 monitors. It was a nice card though. The 7990 is faster though (as it should be with 2 GPU's.)
Seems these fan boy threads always devolve to AMD or Nvidia bashing.
Just installed the 7990 last night and went straight to BF3...frame rates SUCKED!! I had a GTX 570 and it's rates were WAY faster. How do I resolve this problem? How do I get the card to work as expected? How do I get good frame rates with this card? What am I doing wrong. I want to run BF3 on ULTRA settings and enjoy all the "eye-candy" that comes with a high-end card like the 7990. PLEASE HELP!!

Identification of genes as molecular markers to
understand and assess adaptation of Douglas-fir to
drought stress and climatic change
Climate acts as selective force on the genetic and physiological growth response of
trees and thereby leads to an adaptation to local climate conditions. Our project aims
at understanding the diversity of drought responses amongst tree provenances from
environmentally different habitats. This will be achieved by linking phenotypic variation
(as expressed in e.g. gene expression, growth responses or isotopic composition)
with allelic variation in candidate genes using an association genetics approach. For
this purpose, intraspecific differences amongst various provenances of Douglas-fir will
be studied to assess the diversity of responses to drought. Through this approach we
will be able to understand adaptability, vulnerability or resistance of Douglas-fir
provenances to future climatic conditions. This project complements projects 2, 3 and
4 outlined in the general research concept, which aim to understand the diversity of
drought responses of Douglas-fir on different spatial and temporal scales, by providing
genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the physiological and phenotypic levels
of the drought response of Douglas-fir.

As she sat down in the office of the Women's Education Center, I asked if she would like a piece of the cake the cooking ladies had given me. After all, what was I going to do with a whole cake, and "cake helps people talk to strangers" was my thinking. The ladies in the office said she needed to eat "real" food first. She agreed, sort of. I said she could have the rest of my coke if she would like. She smiled.
She was dressed neatly in a brown polka dot skirt, a turquoise striped top and sandals. Her hair was in braids that traveled away from her face, stopping in the middle of her head, rows standing on end, not gathered together in a bun or bow. Just like all twelve year olds, it would be a few years before she grew into her toothy smile.
Alexandra is twelve, she is adorable and she is a restavek. She gets up at six a.m. each morning to cook, clean and wash dishes for the family who has taken her in. They are her extended family. She isn't sure how, they are just cousins. Her mother died and she isn't sure when or how. Her father is a farmer in the Province and he has a few animals and crops he tends to with her two brothers. Her sister is Port, living just as she does with a different extended family member. She guessed she has lived away from her family for a year now, and doesn't think she will see them again. It all seemed to come across more like math flash cards she had learned and had little to do with her.
No, she had never been to school before, no she doesn't have a favorite Bible story or scripture, but she does go to church. She can't remember the name of the lady that told her about the Literacy classes or even how it was that she got to come to school. There wasn't much in the way of conversation, I mean other than the cake being good. She seemed to enjoy sitting in a room full of grown ups and was willing to answer my questions in return for all the new attention.
When I asked what was she most proud of, her whole face lit up, her bright white teeth and smile no longer hidden. "EVERYTHING", she said. Now I was getting somewhere. What was she working on in class? The letter "L" and reading. What did she want to be when she grew up? A nurse.
We talked about education, how she would have to try hard to go to school to be a nurse. The reality is, she will need an advocate to help plow through the years she has missed already in terms of education. She will need a voice to speak up for her when she has lots of chores, knowing school comes last.
Yet, the seeds have been planted in her mind for the things beyond what she has seen in the tattered pages of her new reading book. I could already see it in her face.
As we finished up our time together, I said she needed to quickly finish up her cake and drink her coke. She looked at the ladies in the office and said her coke was warm now and she needed ice. We all laughed. Yes, we needed to get her in school. She had something special.
I wandered into the Literacy class and sat on a bench next to her. She wasn't impressed and had nothing to say. I said I was the Professor for the day and would give her an exam.
So, I pushed the envelope a bit and took her reading book out from under her hands.
Her teacher would come to her rescue and get her off the hook with my teasing. I asked if I could take her picture and she agreed. I explained that I thought coming to Literacy class was one of the bravest things a woman could do and it took courage. I asked if we could talk more later. She agreed.
The next time we would talk she reminded me her name was Marie, since I am horrible with names. This time I made sure I shared our cake, since I had been warned she was mean. When I offered cake as a peace offering, she laughed as if she too was twelve. But unlike Alexandra, she had grown into her beautiful smile. She wore medium sized pearl earrings that seemed to be a perfect fit for her refined personality. Her hair was braided and pulled away from her face in a neat bun with a black ribbon.
She softened as we talked and she explained that before she came to school she used to sell "pepe"(used clothing) on the street with her family. I didn't ask her age. I guessed in the ballpark of thirty-eight knowing she had a son who is twenty. This was her first time at school, just like Alexandra. School had not worked for her because people are not patient with her and she cries about learning. I wondered what all that meant.
Soon she told me she was keeping school a secret from her husband. I asked if she remembered our previous conversation about coming to school. She did, and I reminded her about being brave and having courage. She said he would only say she is too old for such things. She did tell her son and only him. She said her son was glad for her, but her husband won't know because he works away from home all week while she cares for their son and seven year old daughter.
When she talked about her family and coming to school, she no longer had any interest in eating my cake and wanted to take it with her. She opened up even more and shared so much about herself. I knew no one in the room would think she was mean anymore. "She was only shy and scared," I said after we finished.
She said that a friend in cooking class told her about Literacy and that it was free. She agreed it was a good time to learn to read and write. I asked her what was her favorite thing about what she had learned in school. She said, "I can send text messages to my son on my phone."
I loved her answer! I laughed out loud; that was so great. I never thought about that before. Wow! A whole new world had just opened to her. Math was good too.
In closing, I asked her what she wanted to do when she finished Literacy. "Why, come to cooking classes and go to sewing school," she said like I should have already known the answer to such an obvious question. Again, I laughed. Yes, I should have known this too.
No matter if you are twelve or thirty-eight"ish" the world becomes a whole new place once you have the ability to read and write. It is a gift. Mothers need to read directions for medicine and help with homework. If they have jobs they need to understand a contract. There is another world that opens up to readers, as well, when they are able to read the Gospel for themselves. Education in developing countries is hands down the most important tool we can give.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup makes its next stop at Bristol Motor Speedway's half-mile coliseum for the St. Patrick's Day edition of the Food City 500. We looked at past performances, season trends, and spoke to team contacts to give the internet's best prediction of how the field should finish.
When: Sunday, March 17; 1:13 p.m./et.
Weather: Showers with a daytime high around 66; wind out of the SW at 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
The Track: Bristol Motor Speedway
Bristol Motor Speedway is a half-mile oval with high-banking the entire way around. The corners are banked 36 degrees with 16 degree banking on the straight-aways. This is a track where very few drivers have been able to dominate. Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, and Jeff Gordon have all had decent success at the track, but that status can change with one nudge to the left-rear bumper.
Key to Race: DON'T BRING YOUR BEST CAR
The Bullring inBristolhas been described a flying an airplane in a gymnasium. There will be no cars that escape Sunday's race without at least a little sheet metal damage. Sunday's race is one of the most entertaining races on the circuit for fans and most frustrating for drivers. Expect tempers to flare as the cars bump and bang. The driver that wins the race will be the one with the best set of pit stops and the most luck.
44 cars will attempt to qualify for 43 spots.
Fantasy Cheat Sheet:
Top 5
No. 2 Brad Keselowski: Keselowski has won two of the past three races at Bristol. There is no reason to think he can't make it three-out-of-four.
No. 48 Jimmie Johnson: Johnson had one of the fastest cars in the past eight Bristol races and won the 2010 spring race. He will be tough to beat.
No. 18 Kyle Busch: Rowdy has had one of the top cars in 15 of the past 16 races at Bristol. There is a good chance he can take the checkers again on Sunday.
No. 20 Matt Kenseth: Kenseth has 17 top 10 finishes in 26 career starts and has led 719 laps during the last 14 races at the track. He is a great option on Sunday.
No. 11 Denny Hamlin: Hamlin won last year's Night Race at Bristol and has led 352 laps in the past 12 races at the track. He should have the No. 11 inside the top five when the dust settles.
6 to 10
No. 24 Jeff Gordon: Gordon has five wins and has led over 2,400 laps at Bristol during his career. He should be in the top 10 once again on Sunday.
No. 99 Carl Edwards: Edwards won two of the last 12 races at Bristol and has placed in the top 16 in 11 of the past 13 races at the track. He is a great pick.
No. 14 Tony Stewart: Stewart has led 772 laps in the past 14 races at Bristol. He will just miss the top five this visit to beautiful Tennessee.
No. 29 Kevin Harvick: Harvick has 12 top 10 finishes in 24 career races at Bristol. He is once again a driver to consider.
No. 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Junior has been decent at Bristol in his career. In his last 22 starts at the track he has finished 17th or better in 21 of them. Look for him to finish just inside the top 10.
11 to 20
No. 16 Greg Biffle: Biffle has 11 top 10 finishes in 20 career starts at Bristol. He is a very good fantasy option.
No. 56 Martin Truex Jr.: The success Truex Jr. had at Bristol while in the Nationwide Series has finally carried over with three consecutive top 11 finishes. He should flirt with the top 15 again this visit to the track.
No. 15 Clint Bowyer: Bowyer has cracked the top 10 in seven of his last 12 starts at Bristol. He should just miss the top 10 on Sunday.
No. 5 Kasey Kahne: Kahne has been hit-or-miss at Bristol lately. He should crack the top 15 this weekend.
No. 31 Jeff Burton: Burton won the 2008 spring race at Bristol and has been fast at the track lately. He will be fighting for another top 15 finish this weekend.
No. 39 Ryan Newman: Newman has nine finishes in the top 10, two in the teens, and five finishes in the 30s during his last 16 races at Bristol. His inconsistency bumps him out of our top 15.
No. 78 Kurt Busch: Busch has won five races at Bristol during his career and was awesome at the track in 2010. He is a decent option.
No. 9 Marcos Ambrose: Ambrose has averaged a 17th place finish at Bristol during his career. The Terrific Tasmanian is worth using in all leagues this visit to the Volunteer State.
No. 42 Juan Pablo Montoya: Montoya has cracked the top 20 in eight of his past 11 Bristol starts. We like his chances to do it again on Sunday.
No. 22 Joey Logano: Logano has struggled a little at Bristol so far in his career, but we have a feeling he will be a little better this trip to the Bullring.
21 to 30
No. 27 Paul Menard: Menard has cracked the top 25 in nine of the last 11 Bristol races. He should do it again this weekend.
No. 43 Aric Almirola: Almirola has been terrific so far this season. Bristol isn't one of his better tracks, but we still like his chances.
No. 17 Ricky Stenhouse Jr.: Normally we love Stenhouse Jr., but he is difficult to chose this weekend at Bristol.
No. 1 Jamie McMurray: McMurray has finished outside the top 20 in nine of the last 16 races at Bristol. We don't recommend using him as much more than a fourth or fifth fantasy driver this weekend.
No. 47 Bobby Labonte: Bobby is driving okay this year and has been fast at Bristol in the past. He isn't a terrible option.
No. 10 Danica Patrick: We have very little faith in Danica at this difficult track.
No. 83 David Reutimann: Reutimann has averaged a 22nd place finish at Bristol. He is a decent sleeper pick.
No. 55 Brian Vickers: Vickers has been very average at Bristol. There are better options to sneak onto your roster.
No. 34 David Ragan: Ragan continues to struggle at Bristol. He isn't a fantasy option this weekend.
No. 13 Casey Mears: Mears won't do enough in the No. 13 car to warrant using in most fantasy leagues.
Field Fillers:
No. 7 Dave Blaney
No. 51 A.J. Allmendinger
No. 30 David Stremme

Good afternoon, everyone! In the coming weeks, I'll try to keep you updated on legal developments happening across the country. Be sure to check back and stay informed about what's happening in your state.
Under the excellent leadership of Holly Martin, CMA (AAMA), the Connecticut Society of Medical Assistants is making great progress in regaining the right of medical assistants to be delegated administration of medication (including by injection). The Connecticut State Medical Society (CSMS) and some primary care specialty societies are supportive of a legislative expansion of medical assistants' scope of duties. I have participated in conference calls with the Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs of CSMS, and a physician who is chairing a public policy committee of CSMS, as well as legislative leaders of specialty societies. I have sent documents and articles to these individuals, and have also offered to assist with the drafting of legislation. With our continued collaboration, there is good reason for optimism about the right to practice goals of the Connecticut Society.

"So I met this guy off Tinder and we clicked so fast. A month later I decided to go over to his place and finally have sex with him because I couldn't take it anymore and the dick pics were pretty damn amazing. When I finally got to his place, he came down from his apartment, opened the door and let me in. I was walking up the stairs when he said "Sorry, I can't help it. Your ass is so damn amazing." Yeah he touched it. Then we get in his apartment, through text his intentions were to chill.
He had Netflix all set up and popcorn made. He hugged me, and within 5 minutes I was giving him the blowjob of his life which later led to sex. Now, when we first started having sex it was almost 9. It was the best sex of my life. I ended up staying the night and got no sleep because we had sex the whole damn night. After each time we were done, we would cuddle up and take a mini nap before we would go at it again. That morning I woke him up with a blowjob and we made out as I was leaving, that led to sex on the couch. I left so pleased and I knew I wanted more of that.
I'm very busy with work and school so I couldn't meet up with him as much as I liked. We would get together usually on Fridays or Saturday nights and have sex/"hang out". Now, I didn't mention this but he was a little older than me. He was 25 and I was at the time 19 almost 20. I tried changing my schedule around and using my time wisely so I could have sex with him during the week, because quite honestly I was always stressed and never had fun. 3 weeks later I started seeing him a least 3 times a week. I already said the sex is amazing but he was also sweet even though he would treat me like a little slut in bed which I won't complain about.
A good month passed and I find out a few things along the way. 1. He was an active drug dealer. Now I don't mean a petty drug dealer. He was getting shipments straight from California using the government operated mail. I was there to witness a delivery and the opening of the big box. 2. The worst thing, I found out he was married. I was a little hurt and stopped talking to him. But the more I thought about it, the less I cared because I knew what we had was sex, and it was great sex.
So I stopped acting like a little bitch and went back for more because at the end of the day, it wasn't my marriage and he decided to continue with me too. Sex became better, more screaming and more rough. Loved it. And then out of no where, one day he tells me he's getting a divorce. He clarifies… he got divorced. And after he finished talking, I got up and grabbed my purse running out of his apmt. He wanted to make "us" a real thing. He didn't want me to see other people.
That may seem amazing but what I heard was "I got a divorce for you." and I also heard "Even though I'm a cheater, I want you."
So I got out before I could get myself into a bigger mess. I will miss the sex the most."

The soul of the western man was once filled with purpose and destiny by the religion of his time First the pagan native religion of Europe The nature based faith which connected him with his community the nature that surrounded him and his Gods.
After this came Christianity
Where the focus went away from nature and more towards the society and the teaching of moral behaviour.
This enabled a unification a mass coming together where empires where built and continents explored and conquered under the cross.
Since the end of world war 2 we have seen a rapid assault on the Christian faith most of all from the church leaders themselves who clamour to promote and support any faith or ideal other than than their own.
The decline in Christianity mirrors that of the decline of the pagan faith. and as the pagan faith was replaced by Christianity so to is Christianity being replaced by yet another religion.
Only this time the new religion does not serve the people.
The new religion is consumerism and the self
It teaches only the self is important one does not need to look up to a higher power for ones self is that power. It teaches 1 rule and 1 rule only that rule is to consume.
The clergy of today are pop & movie stars. their thoughts and opinions are to be followed as Divine.
and bread and wine has become beer and fast food. Our teachings have become reality TV The Gospel is now the daily tabloids.
There is no god or gods. thus no fear of judgement. no need for responsibility no call to obedience.
To which we find ourselves today in a moral vacuum which can only be filled with buying new goods and the latest celebrity gossip.
But with such things however full we become we are never truly satisfied. Deep down as Europeans we know something is missing. A yearning for something lost.
Order15 has identified and seeks to address the balance. We must return to spirituality. Often the argument is we don't need religion. That religion is for the primitive.
But all evidence shows all evidence suggests the soul must be fed. if we do not feed it with the moral teachings of the bible or that of the old religion of Europe. We will and do subconsciously fill it with what the media presents us with.
ORDER15 does not insist it only suggests. and we advocate that member's search their feelings on the mater. Religion is not for everyone nor a requirement for ORDER15 members.Perhaps in future years Western man might discover a new religion in keeping with our traditions, heritage, and western values. But until then we have all the guidance we need in the past. To make a stronger more mentally healthy National socialist. The kind that not just family and friends can look up to but the whole community.
here we publish 3 articles from members each passionate about their faith and presenting to you their argument for the need for religion and its partnership with Nationalism. either it be Christianity, Odinism, or "The new Religion"
Christianity & Nationalism:
Christianity (those of Christian Identity), for hundreds of years has been the focal point of
communities all across Europe. Christianity indoctrinates and demonstrates the importance and value of copious essential features to cohere a community, one of which being the White, heterosexual, two-parent family unit. According to both Nationalism and Christianity, one should adhere to the laws of chastity, their objective being married at a young and fertile age, making an honest man/woman of one's self to then go on and multiply freely. All the while teaching men and women to continue and maintain their natural gender roles. The male's stronger physique benefits him to work to provide for his family and support the continuity of his genes, and the woman's kind, sympathetic nature benefits her to bear and rear children and be a homemaker, wife and mother. The importance of a married two-parent family unit is crucial to the child's development. The Father imparts discipline and morals, and guides the child to becoming a respectable, well-disciplined young individual, prepared to follow in his Father's footsteps and become a well valued member of the community. Christianity has heavily encouraged and assisted tremendously in producing healthy functioning family units. Where the biological Father has been absent from families, church leaders (male figures) have stepped in, providing a respectable male role model in place of the Father figure to continue imparting discipline and morals contributing to the child's development. Nationalism wholeheartedly supports all of these teachings, with having a family as their number one priority, a two-parent heterosexual, White family unit, mass continuation of the White race in the natural, healthy way of our people. Christianity in the home of a Nationalist family greatly contributes to the objective they both share.
Religions of Christian Identity and Nationalists are heavily opposed to abortion and even birth control. Prevention of new life, preventing the continuation of our people is a sin in the eyes of Christians and is not helping our quickly declining White race regain its numbers.
There are numerous verses in the Bible clearly informing us not to race mix (Deuteronomy 7:3-4, Leviticus 19:19, Nehemiah 13:3, Acts 17:26, Leviticus 20:24, 1 Peter 2:9). On a biological scientific viewpoint, the consequences of race mixing are simply awful. A mixed raced individual is biologically 'mixed up', quite literally, not to mention the identification and discrimination issues they go on to face. A consequence according to Mormon (Christian Identity) doctrine is that those who are Black are cursed, and those who race mix will receive the curse of Cain, resulting in death on the spot as punishment. ("Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 10, p. 110). Both Biblical and Nationalist doctrines teach the importance of maintaining / preserving one's self, to keep the bloodline clean, pure and un-mudded (Job 14:4). Our victorious and unmatchable achievements in history as the White race, and for the future generations to come, what they will heir, genetically, spiritually & culturally is recognized by both the Bible and nature and us Nationalists and the importance to know of, recognize, appreciate and preserve this is stressed.
Something German WW2 National Socialists favoured greatly was Eugenics, strictly only reproducing within one's race and the preservation of their people. Often it is misunderstood that the National Socialists threw Mormons in to the concentration camps. They didn't. They bonded very well over their mutual enthusiasm for genealogy. A requirement to prove one's Aryan heritage and be all clear from Jewish classification, required 4 generations of genealogical records as proof. They were impressed when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) provided 4-8 generations of records. They came together in unison, working together with their records they each obtained to determine the racial composition of citizens. Not to mention Mormon's 12th article of faith "We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honouring, and sustaining the law" provided Germany with valued and respected Mormons serving the positions of SS, SA, Luftwaffe, camp guards and participants of Hitler Youth to name a few.
Homosexuality is taught to be an abomination (Leviticus 18:22), quite obviously it is a serious regression in the production of the White, heterosexual family unit and production of White children and not to mention a perversion and high contributor to the spread of disease due the promiscuous nature of homosexuality.
There has never been a place for Feminism in Christianity. Coming away from gender roles, mothering, homemaking and submitting before the husband (Ephesians 5:22-24) has never been merited and never would be as feminism is the reversal of gender roles, feminising men, emasculating women and destroying the family unit and patriarchy. In Christian and Nationalist doctrines, Feminism is rejected.
The church is the community. Christian's lives revolve around the church. The women come together in taking care of members of the community as well as each other's families. Organizing charity events, acts of charity, meetings and activities for all to participate in, such as coffee mornings, bake sales and Fast Sunday and The Relief Society which the LDS church holds. Sunday's are the meeting place of the community, to come together, to be humble before one and other and communicate and maintain friendships, to give and obtain the benefits of the fellowship as well as the morals the church installs in its followers.
Moral guidance is something the church has always installed in its followers. How to treat one and other. Be respectful, truthful and honest, forgiving, kind, charitable, faithful, hospitable etc. And to respect and follow your parents and their orders. Ensuring family values are kept, respect between parents and other generations are kept, and that we live together in a peaceful community, helping each other and treating each other rightly. These are all morals in which we should all accord to. These are all the ways in which we should treat our fellow White brothers and sisters in our pro-white community. Christianity teaches people to be genuine, good hearted people through Jesus Christ, and how to pull together a community out of love. Love for your people.
The crusades (1096 to 1487), an often fabricated topic by the Marxists. These were men of Christian Identity fighting in the lands of Europe and Eastern Europe against Islamic Jihadist warriors to claim back the lands that had been brutally been taken from Christian people through murder and dhimmitude (subject to heavy taxes, slavery and forced to live under humiliating, tight controlled laws as the Qur'an directed, death being the consequence of disobeying). These mighty men had such faith, pride, courage and bravery in their religion, their people, their race, their culture and their lands. They left their families and fought for the preservation and continuation of their people, their lands and the right for their religion to be practiced. They fought against Islamic terror. Often, Nationalists take much pride in their ancestors of Viking heritage – warrior heritage and take inspiration from that. Currently Europe and all White countries for that matter are facing severe problems with (assault, rape, rinsing of welfare, mass reproduction, quick growing population, tax evasion, illegal immigration, paedophilia, female genital mutilation etc.) All of which their militant terrorist religion prescribes and many other atrocities. As Nationalists we should take pride and inspiration from the Crusades to fight for our people. The 'turn the other cheek' teaching commonly taught by Christians and interpreted by many as weak and inevitably allowing one's self to be harmed is a teaching we should only apply to our own followers. There are many instances in the bible teaching to fight back, to not allow one's self or their people to be harmed. A teaching the Crusades applied themselves to. A fundamental Latter Day Saints doctrine teach 'blood atonement' (literally the blood of the sinner, even sacrifice of the sinner depending upon the severity of the sin) to atone for their sin ("There is not a man or woman, who violates the covenants made with their God, that will not be required to pay the debt. The blood of Christ will never wipe that out, your own blood must atone for it . . .," Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 247. (See also, vol. 4, p. 53-54, 219-220). Another teaching of theirs is to smite back after the 77th time (D&C 38) and to no longer turn the other cheek. The book of Mormon (another testament of Jesus Christ) mostly comprises of the literal war between Nephites (White, God obeying people) and Lamanites (Cursed, Black rejecters of God's laws). Lamanites adhering to the typical Negro behaviours expected inflicted upon Whites, and Nephites defending their lands and people to live according to the Lord's laws. The second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Brigham Young, gave teachings and sermons, some of which recorded in the Journal of Discourses, against race mixing and taught to defend yourself and your people. Another great teaching was to act as if everything depended upon yourself, not upon the Lord in prayer. A common mistake Christian's do make is the naïve attitude that praying to God will have their problems resolved, that they are protected and no longer need to act themselves to resolve an issues. Wrong. It is wrong to pray to Heavenly Father asking for favours, and to sit back and wait for them to happen. You must act for yourself. Not demand unearned favours. You must always act yourself. (Have I any good reason to say to my Father in heaven, "Fight my battles," when He has given me the sword to wield, the arm and the brain that I can fight for myself? Can I ask Him to fight my battles and sit quietly down waiting for Him to do so? I cannot. – Brigham Young, July 25, 1868, JD 12:241.) And ("Pray as if all depended on God and work as if all depended upon you" – Brigham Young.)
Throughout the Bible it has taught us to take care of ourselves. To be physically fit and eat to nourish (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 Corinthians 10:31). Mormonism's Word of Wisdom teaches this also. Nationalism takes pride in being physically fit, strong and able to defend and fight for yourself and our people. The two agree on this.
Christianity being one of the 3 Abrahamic religions (Judaism and Islam), and having "association" with Jews is something that deters Nationalists quite quickly. The Bible makes it clear that the Jews rejected the teachings of Christ, Him being the Son of the Father and His atonement, to the point of having him put to death by crucifixion, aided by the Romans. Jews despise Christians due to this. A lot of Jews are in favour of Jewish Zionism as it is in favour of their race and religion, but there are some who are not. Zionism ironically goes against Jewish religious teachings, therefore it is more a case of Jewish race and heritage than religious (although they claim it also) with these Jewish leaders conducting the Jewish Zionism. A final concern and an often disputed concern is that Christianity is not a religion fit for European culture and is not / should not be the religion of our White European people. Christianity has been such a huge part of White European history, it is already a large part of our history and culture and is already more than well integrated in us. Christianity is a religion more than fit for our people.
In all this I conclude that Christianity & Nationalism share the same objectives and values and are striving towards the same destination. And are both mutually opposed to degenerate features that seep in to society. It is important for people to find faith and spiritual content in a spiritual belief system which sustains their lifestyle in accordance to Nationalist ideology. Where the two intertwine and perform alongside one and other. The two go hand in hand, and fulfil the spirituality and lifestyle perfect for the White race to live by.
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Saviour as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against this poison? Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labour, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people
are plundered and exposed." – Adolf Hitler

A case for Odinism in Nationalism
Nationalism in all forms has always had a close relationship with spirituality. Whether Heathen or Pagan or Christian in Europe and Zoroastrian (Parsee), Hindu or Buddhist in the East. Of course there are many religions and spiritual sects around the world, but most of them share similar aspects such as prayer, faith and teaching on practical and spiritual matters.
Nationalism has always been the natural choice of homogenous peoples and their leaders, more often in a state headed by a hereditary leader and less often in a republic. In all instances these nations have been associated with a spiritual religious belief that has provided the moral basis for their actions.
Democracy, on the other hand, is a new concept which like Marxism has been foisted on the people by our enemies. Democracy divides nations according to their ethnicities, jealousies and greed. People are encouraged to vote for different parties and the chosen leaders form a temporary government that then does the bidding of the rich, the powerful and the bankers. Ultimately, democracy slips in to despotism, as is happening in the European Union and the USA today.
The glue that holds nations together and allows them to fight their corner is spirituality and religious belief based upon a strong moral foundation. Our enemies know this and over the last four hundred years have set about destroying western religion and spiritual belief.
Early Nationalists in Europe worshipped pagan Gods such as Zeus, Mercury and Apollo. Each God had its strength and you worshiped or prayed to a particular God according to your needs. In northern lands Heathen deities took sway acknowledging the nature Gods such as Thor, Tyr and Frigga. Heathens connected with the natural world sky father-earth mother experiences through understanding the Runes and the old Norse sagas where ancient Nationalists stood cheek by jowl with their Gods.
Later, Odinism gained sway. Odin was the God of the traveller and was considered knowledgable and wise. He had sacrified an eye to gain higher spiritual understanding of Yggdrsil the world tree that connected the nine worlds, teaching his people through riddles and poetry.
Eventually our nations adopted Christianity, St Paul took up the cross, changed the original Christianity in to Paulism and took it to the gentiles. It prospered because it was the antithesis of Judasim. In Christianity it is enough only to have faith although prayer and good deeds help too.
With Europe's major religion Christianity destroyed on the democratic altar of freedom and tolerance without moral responsibility, Nationalists have wondered which way to turn for spiritual inspiration. While some still cling to Christianity, most look back to times before, They see Odin as pure and unblemished. They feel attuned to nature. Many want to protect the weak and dependent, because this is what Nationalism is all about.
The new Nationalists read about the old National Socialists of 20th century Germany who were animal lovers. They put animals before religion and outlawed Kosher and Halal slaughter. They stopped all vivisection. Animals slaughtered for food had to be prestunned. Many National Socialists were vegetarians and vegans just as many Nationalists are today.
Nationalism is all about protecting the weak, feeble and vulerable. They believe that the moral stature of a people is reflected in how they treat the defenceless. Abuse of animals just as abuse of people was anathema for them.
Surrounded by lies, greed and poverty , we watch the collapse of our civilisation, culture and traditions and we wonder where to turn. We look back as Nationalists to people who inspire us: National Socialists in Germany, the Nationalist Socialist Iron Guard in Romania, and the Heathen Nordic nations many of whom were inspired by Runes and Gods like Odin, Tyr and Freya.
There is no overarching Church of Odinism, no Heathen chapel, no ancient grove left for enemies to pervert or polute. There are only the Runes, the sagas and the moral standpoint of protecting the weak and infirm from expoitation by the rich and powerful murderers that rule us. Heathenism is the way forward for now for true Nationalists. Odin the wise will guide us back to a moral lifestyle in the future.

Advocating for a new Religion and The Excellence Laws
Despite a life long search, a search and want of belonging and believing in something greater than myself i found no home to come back to. Christianity had it's good moments growing up but i just couldn't take that last step of really having faith later in life i toyed with Paganism but i never felt it was anything other than a good set of rules and laws to live by. After much soul searching and day dreaming i came up with the idea of third perhaps alternative philosophy / religion The Excellence Laws. and it's ORDER15 which i think could be used as the vehicle to advance such a concept.
1) Eximius translates as excellence,
2) Eximius translates as super.
As the first translation, the title implies a striving toward greater empowerment through excellence. Therefore, followers are to cultivate eximius in themselves — to literally empower and make excellent specimens of themselves as an individual. This is to be the status quo und
er such an order, maximum potential actualized and made physical. Not only is this personal striving toward excellence to be inoculated into each and every one of us, but for the community to multiply those bodily vessels where eximius takes the deepest root; to abundantly breed genetic and phenotypic success with success and use any means necessary to achieve this aim. We are no different from other biological, genetic organisms in this respect and require a self-sufficiency at the most fundamental bedrock of our existence if we are to maintain excellence as the new normal. We are to strive toward equality IN excellence through abundant breeding of whichever physical, mental and behavioural trait grant our community as a whole greater self-empowerment and evolutionary success.
As the second translation, the title implies the dissimulation of the individual into a greater whole, symbolically called either as The Living Whole, or Life as a Whole. Groups of organisms become a group as an organism; the superorganism. The individual becomes an outpost, a vessel of something greater and more powerful than itself, something that transcends the death of the individual and carries its living memories (worth remembering) in the form of wise breeding. The individual is not a thing in-itself but a cell of the superorganism. Such a notion of 'individual' becomes incomprehensible, thereby permitting greater sacrifice of personal luxuries and overindulgence so as to enable selfless acts of heroism and self-sacrifice for the greater good of The Living Whole. The Super translation of Eximius can therefore be applicable to several scales of magnitude from community, to tribe, to ethnicity, to race, to species, to biosphere, to system; the sum total of which culminates in The Living Whole — and the whole as they say, is greater than the sum of its parts.
A Western-styled 'Sharia Law'
Sharia Law is a totalitarian system offered by Islam that whilst eliminating obvious moral decay, it also enforces what can be called fossil law. As Spengler noted, under Islam the entire middle east suffers from a fossilized culture incapable of evolution. It is also incapable of producing science and does not concern itself with the quality of who is actually having multiple wives, and is therefore dysgenic. Where strict authority and clear cultural norms restrict some decay, they partially defer it; degeneracy is still present at the root and excellence is disregarded as secondary or worse toward mere submission before Allah.
Those of us in Western Europe and the European settlements worldwide have a different cultural pot to draw essence from, to conjure our own anti-decay 'Sharia Law' to our own tune and make dominant our highest aspirations (be they conservation of wildlife, scientific discovery and pioneering exploration of place in the universe). We are in the need to create our own authoritarian law that arrests and punishes degeneracy, that pushes us away from our highest aspirations. Instead, putting what works for long-term ethnic survival (and that of rare high quality genes) before the selfish desires and wants of a lowest common denominator individual.
Europeans are currently in a frenzy, irrational and senile, dying a demographic death spiral; reason does not mean anything to us anymore and the soft approaches are impossible — therefore we require to summon the essence of ancient laws and enforce them upon the present era to ensure our survival. ORDER15 is all about betterment of ones self as we grow as a movement perhaps we might use for example Lycurgus. Modelled on Lycurgus, the 'Lycurgan Law' is concerned with the cultivation of excellence in its citizens. This offers many parallels of what can be achieved in the here and now. We can abandon luxuries, commune in mess halls, make it a duty to train ourselves physically and mentally, to punish those who stagnate and regress.
Yet ORDER15 can also go further than ancient laws. Where they dealt with an open-system i.e. they are free to breathe the abundant air, water and other life-support elements we take for granted; we need to prepare ourselves, taking the precautionary principle to heart, and realise that life on earth is going to become shaky. The Earth may not be habitable in the not so distant future because of abrupt climate change and ecocide. The biosphere is being killed by exponential growth of incompetents and overexploitation by the rest. We will need to champion and propagate specialisations that had become so central to the function of industrial civilisation and showed that there is at least some redemption to be had of them, i.e. in the sciences. Modern society neglected the highest aspirations, took them forgranted, such as making a permanent presence in space and rationing fossil fuels for a slower but long-term utilization of scarce energy resources to prevent ecocide. As Western science was partially responsible for enabling the mess, it will be responsible for cleaning up its mess too. It is neither good nor bad but requires leadership and goal orientation – there begins the eugenic cultivation of math/engineering/science abilities for Europeans under eximius. (For those unfamiliar see here for Eugenics )
The excellence laws Philosophy / Religion will go further still to provide a fluid multi-tier caste/class system hybrid. The goal is both maximum power through excellence of the followers themselves and if need be separating into different castes to become specialised in a field of activity; be it engineering, be it military. In a previous essay titled Mechanisation: Civilisation in a Closed-Loop Ecosystem with Eugenics I only mentioned the two most obvious castes, one for sci-engineers (explained again in previous paragraph) and the other for soldiers, the one tackles the problem of habitation in increasingly extreme environments i.e. they are Biospherians, the second tackles the problem of predation by other communities, ethnic groups and societies, most imperatively the undermen. The undermen who have torn down the European tyranny of past eras only to replace them with impossible equality, counterproductive and gradually destroyed all kind of pedigree amongst European nations. The soldiers are the physical force necessary to enforce the order of excellence (Ordo Eximius) over the disorder of decadence; firstly in their own territory, but if need be to protect sites of special interest to the preservation of knowledge and of conserving ecosystems with wildlife so that they may keep the earth alive and fortify the abundance and variety of Life as a Whole.
The Helot-tude, or Helotization
Hypothetically — those who disobey and disregard the cultivation of excellence (eximius) in themselves, I.e. cowards and mediocres, can be subject to 'Helot-tude'. 'Helots' are dishonoured and can have their breeding restricted and be excluded from the perks of whatever such a society can bring. Therefore, human rights are to be abolished under the excellence laws; no rights without duty to the good of the whole.
Under such a system, people with clear signs of degeneracy, cowardice, mediocrity will have every stigma associated with them and are to become ostracised. All complex technology is confiscated, fuel taken away and they are left exposed to natural selective pressures. No rights without responsibilities. Humans are not innately good but are like all other organisms given a precarious moment of abundance, they will consume it until it is limiting, they will overshoot and cause a regional ecological collapse, so it is very important to limit the collateral damage of individuals and cultures of people who have only selfish or degenerate intentions. We can't be mindless animals when we have enormous net-energy curves liable to catastrophic collapse — with great power (watts) comes great responsibility. Where possible they are not to breed at all — but are gradually replaced by ecoconscious and self-disciplined, able and wise people. This can be visualised as a turning-over process applied to any community so that stagnantion does not occur in the bowels of society, but is regularly flushed; simply choose your best and limit the rest.
If necessary, those under helottude can be used as biological incubators so supplement the dire birthrate of our most productive, wise and fit – people who may show the utmost regard for the survival of other species and accidentally condemn their own noble germ into extinction out of a misguided notion of self-sacrifice for Life as a Whole. We also need to focus on individuals with better mental qualities, character and temperament; as it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that those who are having the most children right now are anything but quality. Democracy also does not work where the majority of voters are fools. As 'helots', if the females are to give birth to any children, it will be in-vitro fertilised eggs from donors, their own seed will not be planted. Free men and women, as rewarded by their excellence, may also support this invitro surrogacy in their own if they wish to accelerate the turn-over of their community to higher grades of empowerment, as that is a noble thing to do, with some children of their own and some from combinations of individuals that otherwise will not exist (i.e. the mixing of genes from donors that can't physically come together because of social circumstances, but whose genes are not restricted from doing so, therefore when combined with others will produce refined and better able people — imagine this as a kind of Darwinian hyperspace, where evolution can occur in a new dimension giving extra leverage and adaptability to help our groups adapt to changing environments). Reproduce only what is successful in maintaining the higher qualities necessary to maintain a complex society and life support system, whether natural or manmade — banish the rest.
Internal and External aspects of Law
There are two aspects which lead to successful laws. One is the internal genetic baseline which is the orientation of instincts, without laws all behaviour reverts to this hardwired innate paradigm and repressing it is expensive. This leads to the second external aspect; a society which relies on using repression continuously without altering the genetic undercurrent, is like cutting weeds in the garden but leaving the root system intact – it will keep springing back up until you lose energy, or can't afford the time or effort to remove it, then it will dominate and overrun your system.
The internal is the 'local human nature' the genetic baseline, the raw material. Fighting a war against this is attritional, as we and every other failed civilisation knows from trying to educate barbarians to adopt laws which do not suit them, slipping off them like water from a duck's back, leading to exponentially increasing costs of complexity as more manpower is needed to subdue them.
The external is coercion, force, violence, memetics, Laws themselves as the external shell which has to be institutionalized in order to pioneer and establish a system. This is because kin altruism, kindness and goodwill are not universal guarantees or they may not even be common especially to begin with; each generation also throws untested genetic recombinations, mutants, some with beneficial traits, some with self-destructive traits that unless resisted will multiply and collapse the society. If a society has been living in domestic paradise with no selective pressures for a very long time, there's a high probability that the neglect has enabled cheaters to dominate the genepool. The overall aim of Laws is hardwiring instincts at the genetic baseline, so they run on autopilot in the majority so as to enforce themselves with minimal cost, only the energy needed to keep honourable citizens alive. Law enforcement costs time and energy and to make a long-term ROI it must guide localised, controlled gene pools via domestic selection so that laws become instinctual so that even a baby born will automatically know what is right and what is wrong without needing costly externalities; symbolism, coercion, indoctrination only to be used where self-destructive, cheating traits emerge or predominate and must be surgically removed for the long-term stability of a society.
The enforcement of any new law system is taxing to begin with as it will disagree with many inner natures which exist only by the total neglect of genetic selection in domestic environments without any turn-over to vacate the bowels of society, but over generations of wise breeding and long-term vision, if they are excellent laws they begin to pay for themselves. With later genetic homogeneity, it somewhat resembles the hive superorganism of colony insects where each is so alike that they act as a living whole. Society is for the most part crime free, there is an air of mutual respect and people do not live in fear or anxiety of strangers with respect to generic laws – and all individuals under eximius will inherit traits needed to excel in scientific, military or other disciplines and therefore does not live a life of envy and regret at being unable to participate – because every individual inherits a genetic baseline which they revert to even in catastrophes where institutions are crippled, they gain the hardware to run the software that is the laws. This is not the case where mass immigration and miscegenation with foreigners who possess extremely alien traits propagate and become the norm, nor where domestic selection is absent and cheaters breed like rabbits to the collective expense of the law abiding.
Novus Ordo Eximius
The current era is stained by a very particular cultural imperialism. Europeans do not have self-determination under its yoke. It is Amerikan imperialism, which at inception was stamped with the title of 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' and set out to destroy all higher organic bonds with the state, the blood of ethnicity and race, with the ecosystems they are a part of in the name of (selfish) freedom, rights without responsibilities. It set out a new but degenerate order of the secular, disintegrated, degenerate individual. The aftermath of such a transformation is landfills of junk, massive demographic displacement of native europeans, decimated forests, global warming, melting ice caps, species extinction, untold criminality and disorder; all for the special privilege of 'free' individuals given rights without responsibilities.
Now there's an upheavel: with peak oil shocks, climate chaos and demographic displacement lapping at our shores, a new Order of Excellence is needed to pick up the remains and make the survival of our best people, life supporting ecosystems, and our highest aspirations of discovery, the reason d'etre of our existence. It is called the Novus Ordo Eximius.
Through it, excellence (eximius) is to be cultivated, adherence to higher scales of life (superorganisms at all layers within Life as a Whole).
Through it, the Excellence laws are to be put into motion. Like casting of broken bones, so as to reform them and give them better form. Where we continue insisting on individual freedoms at expense of our long-term survival, we are like individual cells clueless as to how to set a broken bone, we have no external caste-structure to help set and reinforce the higher order. So until we heal those broken bones that actually gave us a spine, that higher structural order has to be externally enforced to set the mould, and set things right, the way they ought to be.

This was my first time in a PHP conference and I thnk the overal organization was pretty good. The only negative think that I managed to find was Sunday's lunch. A part of the food was canned food that you find in a supermarket. Another thing that may be improved is the selection of fhe appropriate room for each talk. I think that, like me, most attendees know in advance (more or less) which talks they are going to hear. So, maybe using a poll, you can also have a good idea about the people distribution in talks. Even if 1/3 or 1/4 of the people participate in the poll, the statistical sample will be good. Finally, if you want to have the real feedback about the talks, maybe it's not a good idea to make the comments public.
