In a typical notebook, how much power does memory actually consume compared to other components (CPU, HD, screen, wireless transmitter etc..)?
Leave your laptop in Sleep mode.. It will last many hours but it will eventually get critically low and shut down..
Good question, I don't have a direct answer however I found a desktop memory review here [legitreviews.com]. Given that they found a 7W difference under full load and power scales to voltage squared (1.64^2) / (1.34^2) = 1.5 you can estimate it draws 14W at low voltage and 21W at high voltage.
Of course in a laptop you'll have a quite different low-power RAM like you have low-power CPUs but I'm guesstimating that yes it's significant. If you have a CPU that draws 30W at max, the RAM probably draws 5-10W too. Divide everything
How about this: you can double the amount of RAM for the same power budget. Batteries are not getting better as fast as we would like to use more RAM.
Some data on what other components [codinghorror.com] consume. Not very rigorously determined, but good to make an idea.
Some other data on how much switching from 1.5V to 1.35V to 1.25V [tomshardware.com] DDR3 type of RAM impacts the power consumption at idle time (scroll to the bottom of the page: 1W).
The RAM power consumption will have, though, an impact on how long you can keep a laptop/notebook on idle (so, little CPU, no HDD and LCD, no graphics) before it shuts down and you loose everyt
So this raises another interesting question - do laptops with less RAM have better battery life and if so, should people refrain from getting laptops with more than 2 GB? That is more than enough for normal usage. Maybe bleeding edge games would require more.
Hardly any. I remember skimming through a study of component power consumption and IIRC memory topped out at something like 5% total draw. So memory with half the power draw will buy you about 10 minutes.

That is with the display turned on... Most portable devices spend a considerable amount of time with the display turned off to conserve power. To put this into perspective, on an HTC Desire android device with an AMOLED display the screen uses about 50%-60% of total power, memory is p
Which is why I think the next big breakthrough (which will make someone Bill Gates rich) will be the ability to selectively turn memory cells off just as we can turns parts of the CPU/GPU off in AMD and Intel chips (from what I understand Nvidia is pretty much "all or nothing" except on Tegra). what one would have to develop is a "smart controller" most likely on the RAM module itself, one that knew which cells were in use and when given the "we are in low power mode" signal by the OS would have the ability
Turning off DIMMs can be done. Some high end servers will let you add/remove RAM on the fly, it's basically the same thing except the RAM isn't physically going anywhere.
There are two problems you'd run into. First you'd have to move everything to the DIMMs that you're keeping on. This means that all the pointers would change, so you'd have to have a way to keep track of that. If you moved things and then moved them back when the power came 'back on', that may suffice.
The second is how much stuff is in me
First you'd have to move everything to the DIMMs that you're keeping on. This means that all the pointers would change, so you'd have to have a way to keep track of that.
Fortunately, if you come from some time after the 1980s, this is done already. Nothing except the kernel sees physical memory addresses, they see virtual memory addresses. These are mapped to the physical address by the MMU / page tables, and often do change over the apps lifetime (e.g. when a page is swapped out then in, it is not always returned to the same physical page).
WTH? Another genius with a billion dollar idea? Sorry, but no...
There's no such thing as unused memory, and hasn't been for a couple decades. Any portions of memory not allocated by programs are used to cache data read from the disk...
So shutting them off will mildly reduce power consumption, right up until one bit of that cached data is needed... then, hitting up the disk will consume more power than you ever saved, and as an added bonus, you've taken a performance hit, too.
SSDs don't change that fact,
power consumption = heat that needs to be removed. Heat becomes a bigger problem the smaller the components are. Reduce the amount of heat produced and you've just made it easier to produce even smaller components.
In my 4 year old desktop (E6300 processor; 4x1GB ram; nVidia 9500 GT; 2x HDD), total power draw goes between 150watts and 220 (full load) watts, as measured by an in-line watt meter.
Laptops tend to use quite a bit less power; 15-60watts is what I found from some quick googling, and the last laptop I had was around 18 watts as measured with laptop-tools under linux.
This [interfacebus.com] indicates 10 watts for DDR2, vs 4 watts for DDR3, vs (presumably) 4*.6= 2.4 watts for DDR4. Not sure whether that link is accurate, or whet
I just bought my Sandy Bridge rig, now they announce this?! Ffffffuuuuuuuuu-
Now, lets pair this with a ARM core and hope we get a reasonable hack that allows a wireless that does not eat power like the current ones.....
Then lets enjoy our ARM-puter: Portable, powerful, and battery for more than a day of use.
Not happening. Higher-frequency transmissions need more power to go further. Lower frequencies don't carry as much data, so there's a huge trade-off in play.
But why hasn't somebody developed some low-frequency wireless that is suitable for internet speeds? (Other than the obvious licensing restrictions?) Sure, wifi is great and getting 100+ mbps is awesome and all, but most US residents really only use wifi for the internet, not transferring huge files back and forth. Someone needs something that's limited to 20mbps or so, but at a lower frequency for increased range/penetration.
Lower frequencies don't carry as much data, as I stated before.
Also, bear in mind that for each extra device connected to the wireless access point, that's less available bandwidth overall. That 54mpbs rating for 802.11g is a pooled rating, meaning every time you add a new client onto the AP you lose some bandwidth - not every single person gets 54mbps throughput unless you're the only person using that access point/that channel.
Also, most the lower frequencies are already allocated for certain services by
How many people seriously use 100% of that 54mbps of wireless...constantly? It's just like ISPs overselling bandwidth; most of the time it goes underutilized. It would be fine to have 20 devices on a 20mpbs wifi connection...they aren't going to be saturating it in a normal household.
But why hasn't somebody developed some low-frequency wireless that is suitable for internet speeds?
Because lower frequency means slower data transfer. They're directly related. And 20 Mbps is seriously overestimating the current speed of wireless technology.
Unfortunately, in that case, the bit that eats power like the current ones is the wireless bit, itself and that's not going to change. To quote a famous TV engineer, we "cannae change the laws of physics". What we need is better battery technology... which is being worked on as well, so, hey, maybe someday.
Can't we bribe god for faster light or something instead?
But has battery tech evolved anything at all in the last 10 years? I think IBM thinkpads had 6-7 hours of battery life back in the glory days, the "improvements" in battery tech so far seems to consist of getting rid of the battery decay problem, not adding in more power.
Can't we bribe god...
He seems to be against that sort of thing.
Proverbs 17:23 The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.
Ecclesiastes 7:7 Surely oppression drives the wise into madness, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Isaiah 5:23 Who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!
It goes on and on...
Although, prayer might work, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Or just connect smarter - my n900 connects to wireless networks on demand and auto disconnects when not in use. I can get 1.5 - 2 days of light usage off its battery.
But it wouldn't allow people to belie
Bad news... The screen is probably consuming more power than all other components, combined. Even if the display is of f the majority of the time . This may not be true if you use your device as an mp 3 player, but otherwise, display power consumption overwhelmingly dominates...
If they decide the decreased power draw isn't as important, they could could increase performance significantly by running DDR4 at current DDR3 voltages.
"Samsung has been actively supporting the IT industry with our green memory initiative by coming up with eco-friendly, innovative memory products providing higher performance and power efficiency every year," Dong Soo Jun, Samsung's president of the memory division, said in a statement.
Add "ecosystem" as well.
In what context do you object to "ecosystem"? What word would you prefer we use for the system of biological interdependency?
Power Sipping belongs in the same family as Speed Walking.
OTOH, sounds like someone might have a case of Powerthirst [collegehumor.com].
And 'renewable energy'. What's renewable about it?
Don't anthropomorphize DRAM devices - they hate that.
It didn't work because it's Pseudo science./
What's up with the pseudo-open drain? Is that new and exciting or just marketing speak? I know what open drain is, but how do you have a "pseudo" open drain?
POD addresses this by actively pulling up at the beginning of a rising edge, then releasing the pullup to avoid a bus contention later. This reduces the termination current (at some cost in impedance mismatch, but it's already a sloppy line) and improved switching symmetry.
Take a look at the write speeds on cheap flash and realize that even laptops are coming with 4GB of RAM these days before you make a suggestion like this.
One thing not mentioned in the article or summary is whether or not this technology reduces standby power consumption in DRAM.
POD by itself doesn't reduce power consumption in standby, since both POD and SSTL turn off the bus drivers then. The older POD technologies from the GDDR families use Thevenin termination, though, so the terminators draw a lot of unnecessary current when they're enabled (as distinct from the result with a dedicated termination supply.)
If you really want to know how this all works, JEDEC [jedec.org] has the DDR4 standard available for free download. Follow the "free standards" link.
I'd rather have them finally mass-produce 8 and 16 GB modules for the desktop market.
3D CAD. My colleagues regularly run into RAM limits with 4 GB.
Mass produced desktop markets don't run 3D CAD. High-end workstations and servers hardly count and wouldn't be a major driver of the market.
Any recent gaming box can run 16G of ram, though admittedly those aren't ECC setups. The high end ain't so high these days.
What is a consumer driver for large cheap supplies of RAM?
Games, mostly. That and photoshop. I suspect that it's a wash between the billion odd computers in circulation and the ones in datacenters that drive chip prices these days.
Most workstations are still based on the desktop technology. Take a "gamer" mainboard, put in a powerful CPU, the maximum amount of RAM you can get your hands, garnish it with twin GFX cards (or a decent QuadroFX card) and desktop components become a decent graphics workstation.
Servers are a different story, but if you look at components like Xeons and ECC-capable RAM many components are basically just a more specialised version of what consumers can buy.
The smaller demand now is mainly a niche which can op

All you're saying is better better better, but I ask how practically better?
- The most taxing games on my system take less than 1GB of RAM.
- Same with environments, we are far more limited by CPU and video processing capabilities
- How much more stuff? Outlook, 10 instances of word, 5 excel files, an image editor? I do that regularly on 2GB of RAM. Or are you talking multiple instances of insanely complicated apps such as CAD software or commercial are not in the realm of the normal users.

I'm going from 4GB to 8GB because I'm running low when running VMs and apps at the same time, and I am allergic to swap (so I have none.) It's not hard to imagine someone using four times as much as I'm using; by my own standards I'm not doing anything all that amazing any more.
Sometimes I want to have a VM or two open and edit an image at the same time while a video encodes in the background. And that's just on three cores! My next desktop system will probably have at least eight, and even this system will
You would have to admit though that running two VMs while encoding a movie and editing an image is not something the average consumer would do.
Actually, I think it's probably getting to where this kind of thing will be more common. The average consumer is getting more interested in video editing etc. Also many Windows 7 users have a virtual machine manager installed already to provide XP Mode, so it's not much of a jump to believe they might use a VM appliance... or to think they're already running a VM at least part of the time.
do you think there would be enough people with your (if I may say so) insane and highly taxing use of a computer to justify mass producing a product?
Not really, but amusingly, the original suggestion was to produce them "for the server market", I was only pointing out

Bolded the key bit. I was talking the right here and now. There's no doubt that in the future we will be. When people stop editing 30 second clips from their mobiles and start editing 1080p videos from their cameras would be a killer app for more RAM. As for the VM thing, I run a few programs using that mode. It adds a few hundred MB overhead to the system, once, and you can run as many apps inside the mode as you wish without the overhead increasing too much. XP mode is (for a VM anyway) quite light on mem

you don't get the future of applications you want until people have the RAM to run them. Catch 22.
XP mode is (for a VM anyway) quite light on memory usage.
It's just the beginning. And it's not magic. You can gobble up plenty of memory with it. The performance is poor compared to VMware, which doesn't use any more memory.

Surely you all have noticed the change in appearance of the front page of the Moab Times-Independent beginning in January. The wonderful title-banner that pictured our wonderful red-rock buttes, including a gap through which the river flows. That view is the signature of our area! That banner made The Times-Independent distinctly Moab! I proudly sent copies to friends and family from time to time - knowing that the appearance of the paper itself suggested the special nature of our town. (I'd bet some visitors even took it as a souvenir!) Why remove it?
Blurbs that ran down the left side of the page now run across the top and bottom, and the title takes up 2.25 inches rather than the previous 3 inches. It is white and totally non-distinctive. Also lost now is the town name written prominently in purple in the "sky" above the buttes, and also the note indicating that the paper has been published since 1896. I think this change is a great loss to us. It is to me.
So I ask that if any others of you feel the same, write letters to the editor and say so.
Save the Moab banner!

BROWNS SUMMIT, N.C. - Yale is tied for 16th after the first day of competition at the NCAA Women's Golf East Regional Thursday at Bryan Park Golf Club. The Bulldogs shot a 308, the best round in school history in NCAA regional play. California and LSU were tied for the lead at an even-par 288.
Yale was led individually by Jeehae Lee and January Romero, who both shot a 4-over par 76. Lindsay Hong and Cindy Shin each finished with a 6-over par 78.
"We played really well," said Yale head coach Chawwadee Rompothong '00, noting that Yale's late afternoon tee time left the Bulldogs facing very gusty winds and intermittent showers. "Our goal was to break 80. Tomorrow we'll try to be a little more aggressive."
Yale got some tough news right before making the trip, as Ellie Brophy was sidelined by an illness just before the team was scheduled to leave on Tuesday. Unable to play, Brophy still traveled to support her teammates.
"This course would have suited her well," Rompothong said. "The other players have worked really hard to make up for her loss."
Each Bulldog started slow, as the team as a whole had three bogeys and one double-bogey on the first hole. But each golfer settled down after that, and Yale had three birdies on the third hole. Lee and Romero were particularly strong on the back nine, as both finished just one over par there.
Yale's previous low round was a 317 on the second day of the 2003 Central Regional at the Firethorn Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb.
Hong will start the second round for Yale, teeing off from the tenth hole at 9:00 a.m. Friday.
The top eight teams at the regional, plus the top two individuals not on those teams, advance to the NCAA Championship May 23-26 at the Scarlet Course, Columbus, Ohio, hosted by Ohio State.

Gov. Phil Bryant has signed a bill into law allowing home brewing of beer.
Senate Bill 2183, which takes effect July 1, will allow people over 21 to make their own beer, as long as they don't sell it.
A household with one resident over 21 will be able make up to 100 gallons of beer in one year. If there are two or more people over 21 in the household, they can make 200 gallons per year.
Home-brewing had been ruled legal, but the state Department or Revenue had refused to issue permits to any but commercial brewers
It's the latest of several beer-related bills to become law over the past two years.
Mississippians can now purchase beer with higher alcohol by volume and sample beer at state breweries.

Sonny Bill Williams has announced his intention to return to rugby union in 2015, just in time to force the 28 year old back into New Zealand's World Cup side.
Williams has recently turned down a three-year deal from New Zealand Rugby Union in favour of another year with the Sydney Roosters.
The Kiwi star returned to rugby league last season, leading the Roosters to NRL glory last month.
"I told the Roosters this is probably my last year," he told Fairfax Media.
"My intentions are to try to go back after next year and force my way into the All Blacks squad."
Williams will be aiming to make history with the Roosters, by leading them to a historic retention of the NRL crown.
The New South Wales club would become the first side since the Brisbane Bronco's managed the feat in 1993.
"A major factor in my desire to play next year was to try to go back to back, because it hasn't been done for so long," he added.
"I know it will be hard for me to force my way back into the New Zealand rugby [union] set-up, but [another season in NRL] was just something I felt was right and I just went with my heart in the end.
"I decided that I wanted to stay with the boys because it is tough leaving when you are a part of the start of a successful thing."
Williams snub to New Zealand Rugby Union may have come at a cost to the Kiwi's aspirations, with New Zealand general manager Neil Sorensen left disappointed by the news.
But All Backs coach Steve Hansen has given a lifeline to the centre, admitting it would be "very hard to leave out" the talented 28-year old from their world title defence in England in September 2015.
"He wants to play in the World Cup so that means he has to come back and play Super 15 in 2015 and he'll be like everyone else in that competition," Hansen told RadioLive.
"Everyone will be eligible to be selected for the All Blacks if they play well enough and, if he's in the form we know he can produce, he'll be very hard to leave out."

Why do some men assume they are entitled to sex in any way they can get it - incest, date rape, marriage trafficking, buying it in prostitution, extorting it in exchange for food in refugee camps or sexually assaulting their fellow soldiers? For more than 100 years, activists worldwide have fought against the victimization of women through sexual violence.
More recently, advocates have turned a floodlight on the perpetrators through programs and public policy focused on exposing, prosecuting and challenging the male demand for sex.
So, too, with military sexual violence. When sexual abuse in the military is investigated, the focus has been largely on the victims, their experience, their characteristics, their numbers and their nightmarish plight in seeking justice within a self-protective male hierarchy. It's time to ask why soldiers rape. It is time to demand answers about the pervasiveness of military rape despite a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault in the military, a ban on selling pornography in military stores and much-touted Pentagon reforms of the reporting procedures for sexual assault.
Relentless Sexual Harassment: Setting the Stage for Rape
One element of the answer to this question is the relentless sexual harassment in the military environment, which begets a culture of rape. Scholars and investigators who have studied military culture and attitudes toward women [1] have found that hostility toward women pervades military training - often out of deep antipathy for the presence of women in traditionally male space, sometimes stemming from competition, always linking manliness with sexual dominance - and that it functions like a glue to solidify male bonding over women's status as sex objects. Even with a prohibition against drill instructors using racial slurs and curses, military trainers intentionally use crude, sexist epithets to harden and turn young male recruits into desensitized killing machines and to demean women recruits. Use of hateful marching rhymes and taunts of "pussy," "sissy," "girl," "bitch," "dyke" and "faggot" are common in training. A former National Guard member captured the culture of verbal sexual humiliation in her own experience of a drill sergeant yelling at her: "Does your pussy hurt? Do you need a tampon?"
Carrying over the pervasive woman-baiting in military training into active duty, male soldiers pigeonhole their female counterparts, according to many women soldiers, as "whore," "bitch" or "dyke" - a bitch if you refuse sex, a whore if you do sleep with soldiers or even have one boyfriend, and a dyke if you have women friends, are bright, or don't like fellow male soldiers. This last "branding" keeps women from bonding with each other, according to many women vets. Peer pressure encourages both sexes to go along with the harassment of women soldiers and the culture of silence and impunity about rape.
A pioneering study of risk factors in the military work environment [2] that are associated with the rape of women soldiers identified a key workplace factor to be the conduct and example of leadership. Where officers in charge tolerated and/or participated in a climate of sexual harassment toward women soldiers, women were raped at significantly higher rates. "The leadership behaviors are a powerful risk factor for violence towards servicewomen," the authors concluded. Allowing the sexualization of servicewomen - through tolerating sexually offensive language and conduct - significantly increases the women's risk of rape, "suggesting a continuum of sexual violence, with rape the most severe form of coercion."
Other Factors
In the Iraq War, two other factors likely contributed to the environment of sexual terrorism for women military personnel. One is the kind of men admitted for the all-volunteer force, and the other, the nature of the war and occupation itself.
It is widely known that the military is a job prospect for poor and working-class recruits with few, if any, other options for work, education and benefits. The Greek philosopher Plutarch described this perennial, iniquitous reality some 2000 years ago: "The poor go to war to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others." Lesser known is the high percent of male recruits who come from physically and sexually abusive homes. Two studies - one in 1996 and another in 2005 [3] - of Army and Marine recruits reveal that one of two male enlistees had been physically abused, and 1 in 6 had been sexually abused. Eleven percent suffered both. Other studies show that boys abused in childhood often do in adulthood what was done to them as children, physically and sexually.
Some have probed whether the military - with its popular-culture hype of violence, weapons and macho behavior riddled with sexualized dominance - holds unique appeal for physically and sexually violent young men. Even if true, ordinary, "nice" guys also rape women and girls, and a culture that both glorifies violence and also tolerates sexual harassment and rape is a sexual assault setup for military women. Adding even greater risk for women soldiers in recent wars, since 9/11 the military has increased the number of "moral waivers" for enlistees, including those with records of sexual and domestic abuse, as well as other crimes. In 2006, the total number of moral waivers in the military reached 34,476, or nearly 1 in 5 of all enlisted soldiers, according to the Palm Center at the University of California.
Finally, the nature of the war in Iraq - a war based on lies and warfare in which civilians were often the target of US troops and atrocities, command-sanctioned torture, and repeat deployments of physically and mentally exhausted soldiers - created a climate of disgust for the war, of self-loathing for what one has been done to civilians, of hatred for Iraqis and of a desire to get out. From his study of the My Lai massacre and other atrocities committed by US soldiers in Vietnam, the social psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton posits that a war with no moral core or purpose increases the likelihood that soldiers will commit atrocities. Among these are sexual atrocities to fellow women soldiers.
War Culture at Home
Penny Coleman, author and widow of a Vietnam vet who took his own life, probes whether war itself is a contributory factor to male sexual violence in civilian society. Using World War II data and results from Bureau of Justice surveys of veteran populations, she summarizes findings that support this supposition. Rape rates increased dramatically (more than 27 percent) in US civil society during World War II compared to prewar rates, even while rates of murder and non-negligent manslaughter decreased. A similar pattern of formidable increases in domestic violence, rape and sexual assault occurred in US civil society since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars began, while every other surveyed crime declined except for a small increase in simple assault.
Post-War Spillover of Male Violence Against Women
Using national data on US veterans' crimes, Coleman also speculates whether military service turns young men into sexual predators. The majority of veterans in jail today are there for violence against women and children, a fact that has persisted since the Bureau of Justice began surveying imprisoned veterans in 1981. Yet the incidence of veteran violence against women does not carry over to other crimes. Male veterans are much less likely than their non-veteran counterparts to be in prison for all other violent crimes except sexual crimes.
Journalist Ann Jones pursued this same question - of the spillover of war violence into domestic violence - in her gripping account of post-war violence [4] against women and girls in four war-ruined countries in Africa and in Cambodia and Iraq. With United Nations (UN) and country-wide data on sexual violence as her backdrop, she documents the environment of everyday violence against women and girls after war ends through interviews with them and through photos they took of their lives using cameras she provided. What their pictures and words expose is that soldiers bring the habit of war back to domestic and civilian life. After men stop killing each other, many continue to beat and rape women and girls. UN studies of high rates of post-war violence [5] against females are borne out in Jones' cameos of the six countries. The author's own life was, she writes, "darkened by war." Her thrice-decorated WWI-veteran father chronically turned his "war-ridden rage and war-honed violence" on her and her mother. This childhood spent with a violent veteran father prompted her, much later in life, to plumb the tragic affinity between war and domestic violence.
Why do soldiers rape? The answer may start with the convergence of an early life of abuse which turns the abused into an abuser, a military culture that glorifies violence and is saturated with hostility toward women from basic training to the battlefield and barracks, and a military leadership that permits, encourages or participates in sexual abuse. Which is to say that soldiers rape because they are socialized in physical and sexual violence, and because they can get away with it.
As for military women, studies of veterans reveal that sexual assault is more traumatizing than combat - that is, more damaging than the traumas of being ambushed, shot at, caught in crossfire, rescuing mangled and dying comrades and dreading driving over a roadside bomb. In the next installment of this series, "Military Sexual Abuse: A Greater Menace than Combat," we will scrutinize the extent and consequences of military sexual trauma, the reasons for its consummate harm and the self-defense tactics women soldiers employ.

If you feel frustrated or intimidated whenever you take your car in for repairs, you're not alone. According to the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau, auto repair fraud consistently ranks among the top consumer complaints they receive.
If you feel frustrated or intimidated whenever you take your car in for repairs, you're not alone. According to the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau, auto repair fraud consistently ranks among the top consumer complaints they receive.
Although most auto repair shops are legitimate, some unscrupulous operators will rip off inexperienced car owners by performing unnecessary or unauthorized repairs, substituting counterfeit or used replacement parts, or even doing such shoddy work that lives are endangered.
Here are tips for becoming a more informed consumer and a few common scams to avoid:
Try to have a trusted repair shop already lined up before you need one. Ask friends or your auto insurance company for recommendations or search the Better Business Bureau's website (www.bbb.org) for accredited businesses.
-- Ask the state Attorney General's Office (www.naag.org) whether any complaints have been filed against prospective mechanics.
-- Look for mechanics certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (www.ase.com) or who belong to your insurer's authorized repair network.
-- If your car's warranty is still in force, you may be required to use only authorized dealerships.
If your car needs major work, gather several estimates for comparison. Once you've chosen a shop, ask for a detailed estimate (with no sections left blank) before you authorize repairs. Specify that you must be called to grant permission before additional repairs.
Make sure the work order clearly specifies:
-- Repairs to be done.
-- All fees, including parts, labor, storage, loaner car, etc.
-- Whether new, reconditioned or used parts will be used.
-- Acceptable payment methods.
-- Completion date.
-- Diagnostic or reassembly charges if you decide to get a second opinion or have the work done elsewhere.
Make sure the final repair bill itemizes all work completed and parts used. (Ask them to show you the work done and replaced parts.) Also have the bill spell out any guaranteed items (including exclusions), in case problems occur later and you need contractual proof.
Watch out for these common scams:
-- They give you a verbal estimate then charge a higher price. Always get it in writing.
-- A shop lures you in with low-cost specials (oil change, brake inspection, etc.), then pads the work order with other repairs you don't want or need. If in doubt, have the initial work done and get a second opinion on the rest, unless there's an immediate safety issue.
-- Charging for services that are covered under the car's warranty. (Always read your warranty carefully.)
-- Dishonest mechanics have been known to inflict intentional damage during an inspection in order to boost needed repairs.
-- They don't want to return replaced parts to you, which could mean the work wasn't actually done, or they used inferior parts. (Keep in mind that there could be discarded parts lying around that they could pass off as yours.)
-- Going against your car manufacturer's recommendations. If your manual recommends getting an oil change every 10,000 miles but the mechanic says every 3,000, make sure there's a good reason.
-- Offers to waive the deductible — for example, offering to install a used part and bill your insurance company for a new one. This insurance fraud could land you in a world of hurt.
-- High-pressure sales tactics.
Just because you don't completely understand what goes on under the hood doesn't mean you can't protect yourself against auto repair scams. To learn more, visit the FTC's comprehensive Auto Repair Basics site at www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0211-auto-repair-basics.

Wolfie so hit the nail on the head!To add a bit of further on the MILtown visit.This detour of his cut did into the day (MIL lives in the suburbs and we wanted to shop downtown). It was a two hour drive to get to MILtown from our place, it's a 45 minute drive from his Mom's place to the shopping district, and he did this in the middle of the day-- after lunch and two shops. And don't forget that we still had two hours driving to get home that night.My friend was visiting me from the other side of the country and will never see MIL again. I love my mother-in-law and have no issue visiting with her, but not at the expense of my friend's vacation time. And we were both pretty polite when he asked, "Do you want to stop in and meet my mom?" and we both said, "Now is not the time." Oh! And to top it off, MIL ushered us out (politely) after about a half hour, as she had plans that evening and wasn't expecting company. Which makes me smile. And smile. And smile.Friend and I learned a valuable lesson that day. The next time she visits and we want to go to MILtown to shop, we're taking the train and leaving the Dude at home.

Chilled Cauliflower Soup Recipes
View All | View Summaries
Cauliflower Cold Soup with Grilled Shrimp
07.02.13 by Jackie
Cold cauliflower soup is a refreshing first course during the hot weather, especially with the heatwave that we've been experiencing these past few days. I blended cauliflower, sweet round rice, ginger garlic paste and crème fraîche with a few spices such as cumin, coriander and turmeric. I served it in bowls (you could also use chilled glasses) topped with grilled shrimp covered with mango and sungold cherry tomatoes.
My husband Lulu is a vegetarian so I simply omitted the shrimp and prepared a separate batch using flavorful homemade vegetable stock. That way Lulu and I were able to share the meal together.

A taxpayers group has filed a lawsuit to try to stop signature verification for an initiative petition aimed at repealing last year's record $833 million in state tax increases.
The lawsuit filed Monday by the Nevada Taxpayers Association asks the court to find the "Ax the Tax" initiative petition unconstitutional and to order a halt to the process of checking all the signatures turned in to qualify it for the Nov. 2 ballot.
Association Chairman Fred Gibson released a statement calling the petition "a potential disaster waiting to happen" with unintended consequences and that would shortchange Nevada residents.
George Harris, leader of the tax repeal drive, said his petition will survive the challenge.
He said Monday the signature count was almost finished, and suggested the taxpayer group fears it will qualify for the ballot.
The lawsuit alleges the petition is unconstitutional on three grounds: that it seeks to repeal the taxes rather than proposing their approval or disapproval; that it does not include the full text of the measure; and that it is vague and misleading.
Taxpayer group President Carole Vilardo said the group is confident it will win.
"We don't take filing lawsuits frivolously," she said.
If the measure qualifies and is approved in November, the repeal would go into effect immediately.

2012-13 Women's Basketball
Bluffton women to kick off 2012-13 campaign in Sommer Center
October 23, 2012
By: Evan Skilliter, sports information assistant
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University Women's Basketball team will count on its youth to propel the Beavers through the 2012-13 season as Bluffton graduated its second, third, fourth and fifth leading scorers from the 2011-12 squad. The Beavers finished with an overall record of 8-17 and 6-12 in the HCAC a season ago.
Bluffton Head Coach Chad Shutler returns for his eighth season at the helm. Coach Shutler has put together a 61-115 overall record with a 35-79 mark in the HCAC. Assistant Coach Amanda Bell is back for her second season on the Bluffton bench. Bell was a four-year starter for the Beavers from 2004-08 as well as a three-year captain.
Lauren Hutton (New Riegel) returns for her junior season after a successful 2011-12 campaign in which she was named First Team All-Heartland Conference. Hutton averaged 12.8 points per game and 5.8 rebounds last season, leading Bluffton in both categories.
Also returning for the Beavers will be junior Kylee Burkholder (West Unity/Hilltop) and sophomores Mikayla Coburn (McGuffey/Upper Scioto Valley), Rachel DeBord (Lebanon) and Brenna Kurilic (Mt. Gilead/Gilead Christian). Those four players averaged 13 minutes per game and together accounted for 12.7 points and 12.3 rebounds per game last season.
"Youth will definitely contribute on this year's team," said Shutler. "Our young players may lack game experience, but there is a high level of talent and basketball IQ within the group, and that can go a long way toward being successful."
Coach Shutler is keen on letting the team establish goals, but he outlined a few that are always on his list. In addition to finishing as a top three team in the HCAC and winning a conference championship, Shutler believes the team can win its own Tip-Off Tournament when the Beavers host Pitt-Greensburg, Hiram and Aurora on November 16-17.
In order for Bluffton to be successful this season, Shutler says the youth of the team and the returning veterans must gel. "We're going to have to create a family-type atmosphere which will result in good team chemistry," added Shutler. "Unselfishness and a unified team effort will be key."
Along with several new faces, the Beavers will be playing in a brand new facility. The new 60,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Sommer Center will be open at the start of the basketball season as the Beavers say goodbye to Founders Hall. "I'm extremely thrilled (about the Sommer Center)," stated Shutler. "It's great for the kids and shows commitment to not only the athletic programs and our team, but to the whole school as well."
The Beavers will open play in the Sommer Center during the previously mentioned Tip-Off Tournament on November 16, followed by a home game on Nov. 24 against the College of Wooster. The Heartland Conference opener is slated for December 1 at Franklin College.
"This team can be as good as they want to be," Shutler concluded. "They have the potential to be a contender in the conference if they are willing to work at it."

Submission + - Current solid-state drive technology is doomed, says MS (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "Flash storage has its advantages, such as packing a lot of capacity in a smaller footprint than the traditional hard drive, and the ability to access that data quickly. That's not going to last, say researchers with the University of California, San Diego and Microsoft Research: 2024 will be the year of reckoning for flash and solid-state drive technology. Using current chips as a basis, researchers set out to gauge the state of flash technology [PDF] overall. They found that latency and data errors increased as drive size increased. These issues worsened to the point of making the drive too unstable somewhere around 16TB, which the researchers say we will reach sometime in the middle of the next decade."

Style Icons: Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen in White Christmas
Yesterday my friend and I sat down for our annual viewing of White Christmas. The conversation has stayed the same since we first watched it on the ten inch TV in our cinder block dorm room. Look at how tiny Vera Ellen's waist is! I wish they still sold 50s swing dresses. Seriously, the inside of her thighs are hollow! I wonder if I can find a knock off of Rosemary Clooney's black gown on Ebay? Here are some screen shots for those who just want to gape at the fashion without the musical numbers. [ITPGallery]

Their revenue last year was 6.1 billion dollars [yahoo.com]. That makes their market cap only about 20x revenue, which is a very resonable number in any book, and simmilar to MSFT and eBay and most other large companies
As for YouTube - while it was private at the itme of sale, it *was* selling ads, and lots of people close to the inside said it was actually turning a profit. This is a rarety for a web start-up nowadays.
POersonally, I thin kif anyone can monetize YouTube quickley, it';s Google. They already have partnerships with Viacom and MTV to sell content via Google Video, so moving those deals over to their YouTube site should be a walk in the park. Combine pay-for content with Google's ability to place relevant ads by the video, and they have a win-win.
What matters is their P/E: Google [google.com] has a ~62 P/E while Microsoft [google.com] has a ~24 P/E. Income does not matter, it's the earnings that do matter.Their revenue last year was 6.1 billion dollars. That makes their market cap only about 20x revenue, which is a very resonable number in any book, and simmilar to MSFT and eBay and most other large companies
Goddamnit, I can overlook the atrocious spelling errors and typos, but using the word "monetize" in this way is just plain offensive. Why do people use words they don't understand the meaning of?
In business, monetization refers to the process of deriving revenue from some group of customers that would not otherwise generate revenue for the business. The problem of monetizing a group of users of a web site is one that many companies that folded during the dot-com bust failed to solve. These customers are often monetized today by placing advertisements on web sites.
true, but why use such idiotic words? Am I not allowed to object to style used in language? After all, economists could start using "fo' shizzle yo nizzle" or "pwned" in their reports, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
If humans define language, then why should I just roll over when people try to push language in directions that I find o
Their revenue last year was 6.1 billion dollars. That makes their market cap only about 20x revenue, which is a very resonable number in any book, and simmilar to MSFT and eBay and most other large companies
Are you confusing revenue with profit? A profit of 5% of market value is a reasonable return. When your valuation is 20 times your turnover before any costs any sort of return becomes very speculative without spectacular growth. You quote Microsoft. Their 2005 figures (according to [yahoo.com] in round figur
But I'll admit I'm not much of a business guy, perhaps their revenue streams from advertising, selling search services of various kinds and other services are enough to justify it, but still, Google is and has always looked like a huge Enron-type sort of operation.
After Enron and Worldcom and the like, people are skeptical. But Google's profits are as real as Microsoft and Apple. YouTube is a little harder to grasp since they are newer and private. However Google isn't interested in their profits but t
Netscape is "it", the one with critical mass, the one everyone goes to first.
Calling Netscape's mass "critical" is a huge overstatement. The market for web browsers was in its infancy there because the internet was in its infancy. Microsoft didn't have to get lots of people to switch from Netsape to IE. They simply bundled IE tightly with Windows so that for most people, the first time they were online was with IE.
The online video market may not be fully mature yet, but it's a lot more mature than the inte
Not only can they sell their rights to a wide variety of companies
Which I clearly said.
they can also easily choose not to see their rights
I'll assume you mean sell. And that has what to do with sueing or trying to broker a deal with Google? My point is Google won't deal with individual content creators, and they won't be able to sue Google successfully. You instead talk about what content creators can do without respect to Google. Talk about off-topic.
Open Source devs aren't "script kiddies". You're conflating the two definitions of hacker. Although your sig reminds me of something else I saw in a sig: "The problem with Wikipedia is that it only works in practice. In theory, it'll never work."Open Source Development: The irrational belief that a group of script kiddies can produce a working program.
The only way that a copyright lawsuit will happen here is if youtube doesn't take down the episode.
That may not be true. The DMCA safe harbor for ISPs is not blanket protection. If more an more of the content provided on YouTube winds up being material posted without the copyright holder's approval, copyright holders could argue that there is *so much* unapproved material on YouTube that it is too much of a burden on copyright holders to monitor YouTube for violations. My guess is that if anyone does ta
I sincerely hope you're right, and that the safe harbor provision is as strong as you think it is. Personally I think it would be great if a big media player were to sue YouTube/Google for infringement, only to have the safe harbor save them. My primary point was that only very rarely is anything truly iron-clad in the law, particularly when you're dealing with tectonic shifts in the marketplace, and the huge amounts of money thereby involved. Big Media can bring enormous legal resources to bear, as we've a
The sad thing in all this is much is said about how much the studios will make, the artists will make, and Google will make. Nothing is said that the people who are making YouTube what it is -- all the contributors who are giving of their own time and effort, will make anything at all! They seem to be essent

This weekend was a little different. I had planned to travel to Rockhampton (650 km north of Brisbane) to do some racing and to visit my 13 1/2 y.o. son, Toby. The plan changed a little and we decided to fly him down instead so we could race the HPRW ITT Championship.
Toby got here last Thursday night and with all the chatting and catching up after dinner, I could not get up for the River Loop & Raisin Toast Ride next morning. That was a shame as I later found out it was the last one as our friendly host, Kevin, couldn't negotiate a new lease and had to shut down. Terrible for him as he worked hard to get it going and the business was certainly growing. Well, we wish him well and hope he can find another shop and start brewing his good coffee again.
Friday was a day off the bike and with lots off walking in a shopping center. At least I was keeping my legs moving for the ITT next morning. Saturday comes and the alarm went off at 6:00. Having done all the preparation the night before, it was just a matter of having a light meal and a strong coffee, pumping tyres and meeting Daniel and Mark for the ride to Closeburn. We were on the road at 6:30, ten minutes later I was calling Sandra for the rescue, as I got a puncture. Sure, I could have repaired the tyre with a can of Pit Stop but there was a chance that it wouldn't have worked. Sandra showed up with my FSA wheels and her Corima Aero. How lucky is that, not just having Sandra coming out with the spares but also letting me race her Corima Aero.
In a few minutes we were in our way again and I now had a chance to feel how those Corimas roll. We went via Bunya Road, an undulating stretch of country road in typical Australian bushland. We even happened to ride through fog on our way to Closeburn. It is an unique road, quiet, undulating and picturesque.
It was also a cold morning. When we got to the start, I was told the temperature got down to 7 C. But that wasn't the real news. Soon, I was told that the race officials had forgotten to pick up the trailer with all the equipment (signs, paperwork, chronometers, permits, witches hats, etc). Although we were all very understanding that everyone is there as volunteers, the question was: How the hell does someone forget to pick up a trailer?
It looks like this one but it is higher and painted white....
Home-made pizza and red wine, perfect for a cool night
Monday was Toby's last day before heading home so we decided to spend as much time as possible just "hanging together" as he puts it. We ended up doing a bit of bush-walking and had lunch at a cafe in Mt Glourious. I guess it counts for a bit of cross-training...
Corima Aero and Continental Competition Tubulars
It rode pretty well and fast on the rough road, it felt stiff and fairly responsive also. Although, I might not have had the correct pressure in the Conti, it felt comfortable and with grip. I do think the Vittoria gives a smoother ride and the impression that it has a little less rolling resistance = goes faster. On the climb, the wheel/tyre combination proved to be a good one. I decided to push a little doing the climb on the 53 for a bit of strength work. They responded really well and I could not notice the extra weight. Definitely a good choice of wheel and tyre if someone is looking for an aero and stiff wheel. One factor to have in mind with the Corima Aero is that you have to remove the tyre to work on the spokes, a definite negative for me.
Sandra and her Corima Aero wheels
On training now, I am about to start a new phase of the program and should be getting a new program from Iain soon. I am looking forward to get on the bike and Train & Race again!

About this paper
With enhanced regulatory pressure, banks must continuously evaluate their risks. To meet these demands, the BSA/AML industry has turned to analytical/statistical methodologies to reduce false-positive alerts, increase monitoring coverage and reduce the rapidly escalating financial cost of maintaining their AML programs. An effective AML transaction monitoring strategy includes segmenting the customer base by analyzing customer activity and risk characteristics in order to monitor them more effectively. This paper explains how to blend both quantitative and qualitative methods to tune scenarios to identify the activity that poses the most risk to the bank.

Time Warner Cable has kicked off the college football season by launching the Big Ten Networks' multi-platform BTN2Go in several of its systems.
The Big Ten Network is a joint venture between the Big Ten Conference, which now includes Nebraska, and Fox Networks.
BTN2Go features a live feed of all BTN television programming, including live game telecasts and extra football game channels, which are part-time channels available on football Saturdays when BTN airs more than one game simultaneously.
BTN2Go viewers will also have on-demand access to BTN's archives, including current season games from the Big Ten Conference's television partners. Additional programming includes game highlights, coaches' shows and original shows.
The online service is available at no additional cost to subscribers who receive BTN as part of their TV channel lineup.
The service is available to Time Warner Cable subscribers in its northeast Ohio/western Pennsylvania system and the Carolinas system.
While BTN2Go content is currently available via its Web portal, Time Warner Cable subscribers will eventually access BTN2Go on three platforms: the Internet, iPad and iPhone. The iPad and iPhone launches are slated for later this month, while BTN is exploring alternative platforms for BTN2Go, including Android. Specific launch dates for other devices and platforms will be forthcoming.

Freight Train Challenge
(Redirected from Freight train challenge)Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Freight Train Challenge is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that involves the player transporting freight around the state in a Brown Streak or a Freight under a time limit. The challenge is available after all three islands have been unlocked, since it needs delivery to all five stations scattered around the state, namely Unity Station, Market Station, Cranberry Station, Yellow Bell Station and Linden Station. Like most side missions, it is activated by pressing the submission button. The challenge is completed when both levels have been completed; it is failed when either the train is derailed, the time limit expires, a station is missed, if the vehicle is abandoned or if the submission button is pressed.
- Stay within the 40-45MPH speed limit, in this way it is guaranteed that you will reach each station on time.
- Depending on the speed the train is moving at, begin to slow down around 500 meters from the station and slowly approach it within a 20MPH speed limit.
- If following the tip above, once you can see the red marker that indicates where to stop after loading the cargo, begin to slow down to 5-10MPH until you successfuly land on the marker.

Talking Tech: What app are you addicted to?
What app are you addicted to? | Talking Tech
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — You know it's happened. You open up an app on your smartphone or tablet only to find that two or three hours have just flown by.
What app are you addicted to? We stopped in at the Manhattan Beach Pier on a sunny summer day to ask a random group of beachgoers:
• Candy Crush Saga: (Free; Apple, Android, Facebook) The hit Facebook game Candy Crush is a sugary addiction on your iPhone or Android. The puzzle game has you swap colored candies on a board to make a match of three in a row. The game gives players "only a certain amount of lives, and after you run out, you have to wait for 30 minutes," says Lizet Torres of Los Angeles. "When I wait, it feels like the longest time of my life. I'm checking my phone every five minutes to see if it's time to play again."
• Beat Your Boss 2: (Free; Apple, Android) Get revenge on your boss with this game. "You kill someone," says Megan Jones of England. "You punch him and shoot him, and throw darts at him. It's fun."
• Untappd: (Free; Apple, Android, Windows, BlackBerry) The social app tracks beers you and others discover and like. "You keep a log of the beers you've had and where you've had them and see what other people have posted about the same beer," says Piuola Khodadadi of Los Angeles. "If I drink a certain kind of beer, I can go on and see the comments and what people think of it."
• TuneIn Radio: (Free; Apple, Android, Windows, BlackBerry) The guide to more than 70,000 radio stations connects you to your favorite local station, from wherever you are. "In Chicago, you have to be clued into the weather," says Lori Harris of the Windy City, on vacation in L.A. "Because it can change from 70 degrees to 40 degrees." Listening to radio via the app is easier than calling up the station website, she adds, "because you put in keywords and it will go straight from there."
• LinkedIn: (Free; Apple, Android, Windows, BlackBerry) The app for networking — and job seeking — "helps me stay connected to the people I work with," says Nancy Duenkel of Mountain View, Calif.
• Bubble games: Dani Dobrusin of Los Angeles can't stop playing Bubble Breaker (free; Apple, Android) a game where you break up groups of bubbles. "It's just an addictive game," she says. Angela Jones of England, however, can't stop playing Bubble Mania (free; Apple, Android) where the object is to defeat the "Evil Bubble Wizard" and break his bubbles. "It's a bit silly," she says.

Police are investigating the fatal shooting Friday of a southeast Houston game-room employee during a robbery.
Yolanda Yepez Lara, 37, of Pasadena, was shot about 6:45 p.m. Friday at the Monroe Game Room, 8510 Almeda Genoa, said Houston Police Department spokesman John Cannon.
Two men entered the business, immediately drew pistols and forced the security guard to the floor along with multiple customers and employees.
Lara was shot during the ensuing robbery and was pronounced dead at the scene, Cannon said.
The two men left on foot, he said.

Tuscaloosa, AL-- Is coach Saban praising his players after the first few days of fall practice? Well, actually he is, with that praise characteristically tempered.
Alabama opens with Michigan in a month, and the coach says that's motivating his guys to practice hard. They want to be sharp from the first snap of that first game in Dallas.
Saban says so far, so good, though as usual, he's tempering his praise!
"You know I'm really kind of pleased with the work" says coach Saban "and the progress that our team has made to this point. I didn't say satisfied, I said pleased. I think the players are working hard, they're trying to pay attention to detail. They're trying to work through it. We've had five days now of one practice a day. A tremendous amount of teaching going on, a tremendous amount of learning. But I also see a lot of guys making a lot of improvement."
Saban singling out McCarron, Fluker and freshman receiver Amari Cooper as those showing consistency in performance. Again that opener vs. Michigan in Dallas September 1st in prime time.

In-State Tuition for Veterans
The University of Central Missouri values and respects our American military, both past and present, regardless of their state of residence. In the past, financial hardship could be created when out-of-state resident military veterans enrolled at UCM because they had to pay out-of-state tuition.
In concert with UCM's military and veteran presidential initiative, effective with the fall 2013 semester, current or prospective out-of-state students, who are U.S. military veterans will be eligible to pay in-state tuition, a benefit that was previously only available to active-duty personnel. This tuition reduction will apply to on-campus course enrollment at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Eligibility applies to all honorably discharged, degree or certificate seeking, military veterans from all branches of the U.S. military. Eligibility also includes service in the National Guard or Reserve. This benefit applies only to on-campus courses, not those delivered online through through the Office of Extended Studies.
To verify eligibility, individuals must provide UCM the appropriate military documentation via their Department of Defense DD Form 214 "Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty", issued upon a military service member's retirement, separation or discharge from active-duty military.

{{I'M BACK!}} Hmm, I keep changing this part a lot, but first so, here's the usual stuff ~~ this is Twilight, in Edward's POV starting from the third chapter! The change ~~ I might be changing the first two chapters to first person, but it's not likely. Tell me what you think, and I'll work according to it. NOTICE! [[The third chapter will be out latest by Tuesday! I swear! Oh, and when it's out, expect a few changes in the format ;D]] Note : All characters, plot, and dialouge belongs to the ingenious Stephenie Meyer. I'm just a mere storyteller.And of course, the above mentioned ingenious author's Midnight Sun is far more superior than my fan fiction.
1. Bella's song
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1109 Review this Chapter
Edward gazed deeply into space, doubting for a fraction of second whether he could complete what he had set out to do. It was near to an impossible task, he had to start from scratch, playing all his ancient pieces and some songs from the fifties that he was obsessed with. He had to stretch his pale fingers, do finger exercises and play the chromatic scales again and again to fall back into the wanted mood. His fingers curved lightly across the white and black keys, shivering involuntarily.
His fingers froze in the air, still arched with grace. His face reflected shock in every angle, it had been sixty years in which he had never shivered, not even once. Behind him, a soft feminine giggle was heard. Edward scowled. He did not need two chances to know who it was.
"You should see the look on your face," the voice laughed.
With that awkward acknowledgement, Edward smoothly turned, a smile hinting on his lips. Seeing Esme so delighted always made him smile, it was as though her feelings were contagious. 'To think she isn't even Jasper,' Edward thought. A cynical smile brought Esme right next to him, looking down him in pure delight.
"Playing the piano, Edward?" Esme gushed, her excitement barely hidden.
"Yes, Esme," came the reply. Esme looked unimpressed, apparently waiting for more.
Sighing a little, Edward looked up, his eyes a light golden colour. "I'm trying to compose a song. And you're not helping."
"A little crabby today, aren't we?" Esme knew, mind reader or not, that Edward had something up his sleeve. Which he wasn't telling. Esme also knew that he would have to tell her that day, or suffer her wrath. "She is . . ."
Edward exhaled again, frowning at his determined mother-like figure. "Bella," he replied simply, yet he couldn't deny the surge that went through his body, all rushing up to his head.
"Bella . . . No! Not Isabella? Isabella Swan? The chief's daughter?" a new arrival interrupted, ogling at her brother, still seated on the lush piano seat. Her cropped dark hair seemed to be sending out electric vibes, she's rarely so excited, Edward thought rather sulkily.
"The very same, Alice," he answered silkily, masking all his thoughts. Behind his facade though, a lot of interesting things were going on. Edward released the imaginary gate on the voices, letting loose a torrent of complains, exclamations, and some others that you did not want to hear. From there, he listened hard, finally picking out Esme's 'voice'.
'Bella? Must be the new girl in town. I guess it's time to go shopping again, see if we can find the girl.'
Uh-oh, Edward thought. That doesn't sound good.
'Wonder if Esme would take me, she should be in school but it might be interesting to see her in different angles. That makes me wonder . . .' Alice looked straight at Edward, smiling knowingly, tilting her head a little, eyes narrowed. Edward knew that pose, and looked up to the ceiling, abruptly looking down again. Alice seemed smug, as though her confirmations were confirmed – and Esme had not missed any part of the said scene.
"What's going on," she demanded, less of a question.
Alice graciously answered, "I was just confirming whether dear Edward was picking our brains again."
Esme looked sternly at Alice, but burst into laughter after a while. She walked away, her shoulder shaking gently in laughter. "What I want is just a little privacy," the two remaining ones heard her complain, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sooo," Alice sat down on the leather two seater and stared intently at her brother, "dedicating a song?"
Edward let out a growl, frustrated with his family.
"All right, all right!" Alice surrendered, leaving her brother to his work, smiling a little.
Edward exhaled deeply, thinking about his new fascination – her hair, her timid smile, and the unforgettable electric current that occurred when their hands touched. Edward shook his head slightly and laughed out loud when he thought about her clumsiness. According to Newton, she was scared of snow too. He could fix that, with no problem.
Edward pressed the keys, humming quietly along with it. His song was fast, quiet and strong, just like her, he reminisced contentedly. As his notes flow, he let all his despair and anguish flow along, he had never felt this way about his prey before.
He stopped suddenly, the music coming to a sudden halt. 'Not prey,' he thought angrily, his hands turned into iron fists, he growled, an angry expression – yet he despised himself, for that monster he was, for the monster she turns him to.
After five agonizing minutes, he resumed his composition, slowly twisting his way through the heart of the song, his face uplifting. Ending the song with a flourish, he kept his hands on the piano and whispered softly, "This is for you – nobody else. Bella."
A blonde girl, stunning beyond any belief, appeared right beside the piano, as though she was created out of thin air. She sneered at Edward, "Couldn't you do better?"
"You heard. You were listening, I suppose. Oh, Emmett is waiting for you outside, Rosalie." Edward pinpointed calmly.
The female, apparently named Rosalie, gave Edward a dark scowl, "She's not one of us. You don't want to get her involved."
"Can't I choose, Rose?"
"Not her."
Edward bowed his head, picking out Rosalie's thoughts. 'A human girl, not even a proper vampire. As though she'll still like him if she knew what he was. Probably would be running away to her mommy. A trite human.'
He nodded understandingly, "I understand, Rose."
She snarled back, "What do you understand? What can you understand?"
"She stays with her father by the way. Her mother is in Phoenix."
"Get to the point, Edward!"
Edward steeled himself. "You're jealous of her. Because, she's a human. Understandable, really."
Rosalie growled, a sound further echoed round the open high ceilinged room. "You don't want Emmett hearing that." With that threat, she turned around, her blond locks swinging with her, then she was gone. A second later, a sound of a starting engine roared outside.
Edward let out a sigh of relief. He had never sighed so much in a day. He knew that Rosalie would have finished telling Emmett about Bella by now and Alice would not miss the chance to gush to Jasper once he's back. The thought of Jasper made him straighten up – he had to check on him. He shook his bronze coloured hair, and wore a blue jacket on top, preparing to have a run outside. Yet he did not go before promising his piano something, "I will finish the song tonight."
Esme had not missed any of his actions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The No. 2 Republican in the House says Congress is "perplexed" about government eavesdropping and wants more answers from the Obama administration.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says Congress enacted legislation authorizing broader information-gathering powers in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks and it "was done in a constitutional manner."
But now, Cantor tells CBS "This Morning," many lawmakers "don't know what happened and we've got to find out."
The Virginia Republican says lawmakers hope to learn more details in briefings from various administration officials on Capitol Hill this week. Cantor notes "Congress is responsible for the oversight of this program" and members of the House and Senate want to know more about it. He said there should be a prosecution if anyone leaked classified information.

All photos from Little One Baby by Lisa Nankervis.
Relaxed, modern and whimsical.
who lives here?
Hugh, now nearly 2, in regional Victoria, Australia.
The key feature of the room is Hugh's tree which was drawn and painted by me. I also made the owls on his tree and his prints. Many of the items in his room were made by family and friends (such as the Hugh blocks and quilt). Other items featured in his room include red suitcases and an Alimrose mobile from Babys Got Style, cushions from Freedom Furniture, the lamp is from Fantastic Furniture and the Hugh lettering is from Bambini Pronto.
Throughout our house the walls and ceilings are painted Haymes White Wash and in Hugh's room the feature wall colour is Dulux Sell Out.
The cot is a King Parrot Daintree, the gorgeous white leather chair is an Italsofa and the beautiful vintage dresser is a family heirloom.
After trawling through many websites, I couldn't find the shape I was after for Hugh's tree and decided to paint it myself. It also incorporates a little memorial -- I had a miscarriage before having Hugh and we had nicknamed the baby Apple (I painted an apple on the tree).
At the time, owls weren't very popular so there wasn't much around in the way of artwork. I created the owls on Hugh's tree and the owl prints on his wall by using decorative paper. It was simple, easy and cheap!
best buys
His tree! I just used paint the painters had left behind when they painted our new house.
top tip
Unique doesn't have to mean expensive. Shop around, you will find things you can use in your nursery anywhere, not just baby stores.

BOSTON — Defenseman Andrew Ference missed the Bruins' win over Calgary today with the same groin/hernia problems that kept him out earlier this month and will require surgery to fix in the summer.
During the game, defenseman Mark Stuart was high sticked by David Moss. Stuart was cut and had to receive stitches to the corner of his left eye, but he returned to the game.
Center Steve Begin went down late in the contest, but skated off under his own will and after the game said he was fine. He got caught with his stick underneath him and hit his face on the ice after a faceoff.

First-half goals from the Welshman and the Dutchman were enough for the Red Devils to extend their lead at the top of the table with a comfortable win at Old Trafford
Ryan Giggs' early goal was followed by Robin van Persie's 19th league strike of the season as United collected a routine three points at Old Trafford.
With a tricky Champions League trip to Real Madrid looming in midweek, Sir Alex Ferguson made three changes as Nemanja Vidic, Phil Jones and Giggs all came into the team.
Everton, meanwhile, brought Phil Neville back but also required a late defensive change after Sylvain Distin dropped out in the warm-up and was replaced by Johnny Heitinga.
The hosts began the game strongly and might have taken the lead as early as the 10th minute. Rafael and Wayne Rooney combined to free Van Persie, who rounded goalkeeper Tim Howard but could only hit the post with the goal gaping.
Minutes later, however, Giggs made no mistake, opening the scoring and continuing his outstanding record of scoring in every Premier League season.
Antonio Valencia's pass was headed down by Van Persie into the Welshman's path and he calmly took a touch before slotting it past Howard and in off the post.
Yet Everton came right back into the game and could have equalised on the half-hour mark. A great piece of play saw Steven Pienaar find Leon Osman and his fierce strike was creeping into the corner before a flying David de Gea pushed it around the post.
From the resulting corner United required another superb piece of defending to preserve their lead as Vidic bravely threw himself in front of Kevin Mirallas' shot when the Belgian looked set to fire home an equaliser.
Mirallas then almost set up Victor Anichebe. His cross from the right, however, was just behind the striker, who had got in front of Jonny Evans, allowing Rafael to hack it out of play for a corner.
The visitors were made to rue those misses too as United doubled their lead right at the end of the half. Again Rafael was involved, dinking the ball through to Van Persie, who beat the offside trap, rounded Howard again and this time made no mistake, despite the valiant attempts of Heitinga on the line.
The second half was a more subdued affair, with chances few and far between, and United having the better of the opportunities.
A Van Persie corner from the right was met by Evans, whose effort was saved by Howard, before the ball came back out to the defender causing an almighty goalmouth scramble which somehow the Toffees managed to clear for another corner.
The ball in was again not dealt with fully by the visitors and headed out only as far as Cleverley, who smashed a superb volley goalwards only to be denied by a magnificent save by Howard.
As time ticked away Van Persie dragged a shot wide after being set up by Giggs, before De Gea saved well from Jelavic but there was to be no late show from the Toffees this time as United stood firm to take all three points.
