Lindsay Lohan is lost without work4th Feb 13 | Entertainment News
Lindsay Lohan is struggles with boredom when she isn't working.The 26-year-old actress will star in erotic thriller 'The Canyons' and during its filming she was delighted to be back working on movies. Talking to The Sunday Times Magazine, she said: ''I needed time to figure out all the c**p in my life that I'd created for myself, essentially, and I kind of realised, 'What am I doing? I like doing this. I like being here. This makes me happy.' ''There was a line in the Elizabeth [Taylor] movie ['Liz & Dick' which stars Lindsay as the lead female] where she says, 'I'm so bored, I've never been taught what to do when I'm not working,' and I'm kind of figuring that out now.'' Earlier in the shooting for 'The Canyons', the star had suggested she might travel to Africa once filming had finished, although by the end she was desperate to keep going with her film career. She added: ''I don't want to take a while off, I want to keep working. There's some other scripts, and I eventually want to direct, so maybe when I'm not filming I can be directing something, because I learned so much from the people that I worked with.''

When the NDP government took on international drug companies in the 1990s with its reference-based pricing plan, the opposition Liberals lined up, sort of, on the other side.
I say sort of, because reference-based pricing was hard to argue against, since by pegging the price paid by the provincial drug plan for a type of treatment to the lowest effective alternative, it was saving the province millions without any significant harm to patients.
Mike de Jong, now health minister but an opposition MLA in 1995, wouldn't say then whether a Liberal government would scrap reference-based pricing but nonetheless attacked NDP management of Pharmacare.
"This system isn't working and will have to be rethought rather dramatically,'' he said at the time.
The drug companies fought the plan politically with ads warming British Columbians that their health was at risk and with subtle threats to pull funding for research from B.C. and legally with a failed challenge that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
When the Liberals swept aside the NDP in 2001, one of the items on their to-do list was to "work with doctors, pharmacists and others to find a cost-effective alternative to reference-based pricing." They wanted to stop the feuding with pharmaceutical companies to encourage more investment here.
Once in office, they very quickly discovered the driving force behind the NDP's struggles to curb drug costs. In a health care system that was pushing the boundaries of resources every year, drug costs were in a class of their own, growing much faster than other costs in the system.
So while they launched a committee to look for a way to ditch reference-based pricing, they also quickly pronounced the provincial drug plan, Pharmacare, as unsustainable, the benefits too expensive, the fees too low.
The panel headed by former B.C. auditor-general George Morfitt reported back that there was no substitute for reference-based pricing that could save the government so much money, $12 million in that year alone. So the plan stayed, while the government moved to limit benefits for people who could afford their own drugs, including seniors for the first time.
Meanwhile, other jurisdictions caught in the same struggle with soaring drug prices came up with other solutions that curbed costs even more. New Zealand, for example, went to a sole-source tendering system that has encouraged manufacturers to supply generic drugs at much lower costs than we were paying here.
Ontario came up with a system that arbitrarily limited what it would pay for generic drugs to a set percentage of the non-generic alternative. It unilaterally lowered that price to 25 per cent of the brand-name reference price and a report in 2010 found that if B.C. were to move to the Ontario system, we could save $157 million a year.
But B.C. still wanted to play nice with the drug companies, so it signed an agreement with suppliers and drugstores that set a price of 40 per cent of the brand-name equivalent, down from an average of about 65 per cent. The government said the deal would create $170 million in savings for Pharmacare and more for private drug plans.
The price was also to drop to 35 per cent at the beginning of April this year. But last month, de Jong announced the deal had been a bust for taxpayers, providing only a fraction of the promised savings because of the number of exceptions that were being claimed that drove up the base price.
This week, de Jong introduced legislation that will allow B.C. to unilaterally set the price it is willing to pay for generic drugs. Earlier, de Jong said the intent was to drive down the price paid to 25 per cent of the brand-name reference.
But coincidentally, Ontario announced this week that it is again lowering the price it will pay for generics to 20 per cent of the reference price. While pharmacies have been wincing, there doesn't seem to be any indication in that province that they won't be able to supply the drugs and still make a profit at the new price.

Business leaders from across Crawford County gathered at Pittsburg State University this morning to help celebrate one of the school's most important partnerships and to hear a big "thank you" from the university.
The annual PSU Community Campaign kickoff breakfast was held in the Crimson and Gold Ballroom at PSU's Overman Student Center. The breakfast, which welcomed more than 120 area business owners and leaders, was an opportunity for the university to recognize key partners and encourage their continued support.
"You don't really find another time and place where university administrators, faculty and staff are all gathered to meet with the business community," said Josh Shay, PSU's director of annual giving. "It gives us a chance to thank them for what they've done for Pitt State."
In his remarks, PSU President Steve Scott said the strength of the bond between the university and the community is unusual.
"We have a unique relationship with this community," Scott said. "In good times and in bad times, the community and the university work together."
The president pointed to the way the university and the city coordinated their response to recent storm damage as an example of that cooperation.
"Great relationships turn into great outcomes," Scott said.
The breakfast introduced campaign co-chairs Roger Lomshek, owner of Tailwind Cyclists in Pittsburg, and Dr. Jacqueline Orender, a Pittsburg physician.
Speaking to other business people in the room, Lomshek talked about the high-quality students who come to Pittsburg State from across the region and around the world.
"Imagine how much poorer our lives would be without them," he said.
Also at the breakfast, Roger and Katha Heckert were honored with the Rex W. Crowley Outstanding Partner in Progress Award.
Roger Heckert, past-president of Heckert Construction, as well as his wife, both have long histories with Pittsburg State. Roger attended the Horace Mann Elementary laboratory school on campus as a child and met Katha at College High School, now home to the Kelce College of Business. They both attended Pittsburg State, marrying in 1966, and graduating from the university in 1968.
Although the campaign lasts throughout the year, Shay said the kickoff breakfast is the university's special time to reach out to the business community.
"If there's a strong PSU, there's a strong business community around it," Shay said. "Together we continue to build a healthy economy."

Irving, Texas Big 12 athletic directors spent several hours Monday discussing the pros and cons of maintaining their 10-team configuration or eventually making additions to the conference — or maybe doing something in between.
League commissioner Bob Bowlsby repeated what he has said before "that our current composition is terrific for us" but the ADs went through plenty of "what-if" scenarios to be prepared for any eventuality in what has been an ongoing shift of conference affiliations. The Big 12 has lost four members to other leagues while adding West Virginia and TCU.
"I think we did gravitate around some principles that will guide us going forward and I think we created some filters that we all agreed on," Bowlsby said after the first day of their regular scheduled two-day meeting. "I think there was a fair amount of unanimity in the room."
Among the possibilities is an alliance with other conferences, including the ACC, and Bowlsby said there appears to be unanimous support for the idea.
"We talked about those kinds of things, and I think there are some ways that you can get some of the benefits and some of the value of larger configuration without actually adding members," Bowlsby said. "We spent a good portion of the late afternoon talking about how that all fit together and how it worked."
Bowlsby didn't get into specifics and wouldn't say what other conferences could be in the mix. Pac-12 and SEC officials have indicated they have had no such discussions with the Big 12.
All the Big 12 athletic directors agreed to defer questions to Bowlsby, but several seemed encouraged by their discussions when asked what was accomplished.
The primary items on today's agenda are football scheduling and bowl alliances.
Their first day was reserved for discussing the makeup of the league, and Bowlsby said that was "talked completely through for about three hours." Bowlsby said there were a whole bunch of different financial and geographical and scheduling possibilities discussed.
Bowlsby described the meeting as a free-flowing opportunity to interject a lot of ideas, and said the interactive nature by everyone in the room was probably indicative of the interest in the topic.
"I think that it's possible to make a considered decision to stay at the most favorable structure and that's where we have been," Bowlsby said. "But having said that, I don't think we ever want to be in a position of being un-nimble, and by that I mean it's a changing environment and we have to be prepared to respond to that changing environment, and this meeting is certainly going to help us do that."
Bowlsby said there is evidence that dictates the league stay at 10 schools, and other that suggests getting bigger.
"We have evidence on both sides of it," he said. "But I don't know that any of it is compelling enough to cause change right now."
Forbes recently projected revenue conferences would generate this school year through network television deals, bowl games and NCAA tournaments. The Big 12 is expected to earn $262 million, which averages to $26.2 million for each of the 10 schools — the highest per-team average of any conference.
According to Forbes, Big Ten teams would an average of $25.8 million from a $310 million poll, followed by the Pac-12 ($25.3 million), ACC ($24.4 million). The SEC, which expanded to 14 teams with the additions this school year of former Big 12 members Texas A&M; and Missouri will average about $19.3 million per team.
When asked if any school the Big 12 might consider in the future would have to be able to bring the same kind of revenue, Bowlsby said, "Anybody we would look at would have to bring prorata or a very high likelihood of sustained growth that would bring benefits to the league. We are never going to get bigger just for the sake of getting bigger."
Bowlsby said the kind of scenarios the ADs worked through were if the Big 12 needed to be proactive based on actions of other conferences. What if a league like the Big Ten decided to add two more teams?
"It's not about what we're prepared to do," Bowlsby said. "It's that we're prepared."

You can only say it's "lucky to be alive" if you think it's alive. The standard theorem of AI is that when anything AI-ish gets developed, people say "Oh, that's not really Intelligence, that's just {Pattern Recognition / Expert System solving / Machine Vision / OCR/ etc.}" But if it is actually alive, then it's lucky somebody noticed so they know not to turn it off.
Greetings pedant!
You make many logical and valid points as any pedant worth their salt is apt to do, but unfortunately it all falls to pieces when I point out that "lucky to be alive" is actually what we like to call "a figure of speech".
But please don't feel bad, misunderstandings like these happen to pedants of all ages, we are human after all.
In all honesty, we here at Slashdot forgive you.
Speak for yourself. I think he's an asshole for typing out that pointless, obvious statement.
Seven comments and every one is about that damned hosts troll. jesus, prople, STOP FEEDING THAT GOD DAMNED TROLL! Am I the only one who's sick of him?
K5 died from trolls in the inside (Pete Jongular for one), considering that hosts troll doesn't have a "read the rest of this message", I'm starting to suspect that this is either an inside job, or slashdot has been hacked. WTF is going on, slashdot?
because of concerns with the way the list is calculated
Read: because it won't look as nice as throwing the Rpeak of 11.6 Petaflops out there, and the ration of Rmax to Rpeak will look poor as well.
I know the Top500 is a BS, single dimensional metric. It is valid to call it out on that. However, to do so while also trumpeting '11.6 Petaflops' is disengenious since it is also a BS single dimensional metric that in many ways can be pulled completely out of ones ass, which is even worse than a measured value. HPC Challenge Benchmark has the noble goal of measuring the character of an HPC system in a more holistic manner, but no one pays as much attention to it. When occasionally a supercomputer installation does skip a Top500 submission, people tend not to think about that installation so much.
Of course, it's completely bizarre that placement in any such global list is a factor in purchasing and design at all. It really should be about the specific needs of the group funding it and how they are met, not some penis measuring contest.
Of course, it's completely bizarre that placement in any such global list is a factor in purchasing and design at all.
There is a whole lot of politics involved in HPC. The only way to justify the ridiculous costs (not only in hardware, but also in energy) for this type of machines is by convincing university management that they are going to look really good ("We will be recognized as global players if we have a machine in that list", etc, etc.). This is indeed bizarre, but the way it is.

That might be painting supercomputer owners with a bit too broad of a brush.
The NASA Advanced Super Computing Division (www.nas.nasa.gov) is crammed full of supercomputers of various designs (clusters, single-system image behemoths, co-processing, etc) and from everything I've ever heard they run at insanely good utilization levels. If I remember a presentation from one of their chiefs correctly, they achieved this level of utilization not only with great technical management and know-how, but by consolida
That is a little schematic. Most codes running on HPC that I know are not trivial, typically expensive CFD calculations with 3D fluid / structure interaction, that may actually require quite a few thousand of hours of computation, e.g. blood flow simulations in the brain.

One could argue that the University of Illinois' "Blue Waters" supercomputer... is lucky to be alive.
What are they saying, exactly? Are the rest of us about to be extremely unlucky to be alive or something?

You can continue to support people with mental health issues after
you have gone by leaving a legacy to the College. We know that your
family and friends will be recognised first in your will but you
can also include your favourite charities ensuring that your
support lives on.
Making a will is the only way that you can
ensure that your friends, family and charities receive what you
want them to.
One example of a successful project funded by a legacy:
"I was appointed as
the Royal College of Psychiatrists Sustainability Fellow in August
2013. This two year post is possible due to a legacy generously
donated to the College. I feel incredibly privileged to have such
an opportunity to contribute to psychiatry as a profession and to
mental health services nationally through this fellowship which is,
I believe, a real example of how providing time and space for a
psychiatrist to study and work can bring significant development
and improvements to mental health practice.
Sustainability in psychiatry is about
ensuring we take a broad approach to understanding both the nature
and impacts of mental health services. As constraints continue to
increase we as a profession need to respond actively to ensure we
can continue to provide high quality mental health care. This
involves thinking innovatively about how we deliver care, ensuring
that we provide high value interventions and that we prioritise the
reduction of waste in the system.
In my work in promoting sustainability
I have been involved in speaking to commissioners, the academy of
medical royal colleges, Chief Executives and have presented at
conferences. I am leading the development of a sustainability
network of clinicians that will provide a context for sustainable
improvement at a grass roots level. This fellowship is stretching
me personally and giving me the skills and knowledge needed to lead
change in my career."

Send in the Clowns... there ought to be clowns...
I don't seem to have any more photos of my childhood costumes.
My parents were fine, upstanding citizens of the 70's... and they took slides.
(Want to come over and see my family slide show? Heh.)
Because I was just out of school, gainlessly unemployed and without resources, I made these silly costumes my own self. As lame as they are, you can not begin to imagine how sch-sch-schmashed you can get behind one of those masks without anyone really knowing.
Schuper schmashed!
Oh, yesh.
I am the lame Jester.
Note Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in the back row surrounded by a harem. How about the New Year's Baby?! Or Akbar!
Hari Krishna!
We had tambourines!
We had ankle bells!
We gave out pamphlets!
(Okay, so the pamphlets were stolen from Winn Dixie and instructed readers about the best methods for cooking ham or picking melons...
...but did I mention we gave out pamphlets?!)
We ended up on a stage at a warehouse party doing a
spontaneous, miraculously syncronized (yeah, right. As if.) dance routine
to Bob Marley's Exodus...
The gal with the yellow tambourine was last seen rolling around on a couch furiously making out with a guy dressed like a Catholic Priest.
(Super dooper politically correct, non?)
See the hick in the straw hat in the back row?
That is my friend Maffy Duck.
He is from England.
Yes. He. Does.
Right Maff?
This is a Dead show.
Or the Age of Aquarious.
Or Something.
I appear to be Waiting for the Sun.
Pony Girl really gave it her all in 1994.
As usual, she made hers, mine and everyone's costume.
She was BEING EATEN BY A SHARK (awesome) and I was Shiva the Destroyer.
Sadly, at the lame Halloween party we attended people kept asking me alternately if I was the Mahatma Rice Girl or the M&M Candy Girl.
Can't you see that I'm part of the Hindu Trimurti!
Thrift Store Surprise!
(With recycled mask)
Pony Girl moved to the Bay Area and it shows.
Imperial Fez Person.
Blasted Pony Girl! Return anon!
K and I as The Fonz and Pinky Tuscadero.
(That is a wig, okay?! Seriously.)
I went to a party and none of my friends recognized me.
...and here is how your man will continue to look for eight consecutive days after using pomade to get that Fonzy look.
Talk about being in a "tight spot."
During her visit, Grandma Seattle suggested that this year
my Halloween costume should reflect my life in the here and now.
So I got yellow sweatpants and a yellow shirt
and I'm sewing on two small felt P's.
Because I'm "covered in baby pee pee."
Oh, The Joys.
Happy Halloween!

I know I haven't been around here lately. I've been on Facebook mostly. Sorry about that, it's just where I've been keeping up with friends from the past and some newer ones. I've been getting my life back in order, and it's starting to look promising. No more Dave (have a new guy, named David... that name is following me, lol). But anyway....
I saw a post on FB from a friend of mine about this little bundle of fluff that needed a new home immediately. I haven't had a kitten in the house in over 2 1/2 years (yes, Sebastian is THAT old already!!). This little guy was so cute, and how could I resist when I saw his pic. The person who was going to keep him does Pit Bull rescue, but the two she took in have mange, and the demodex is bad for kittens, and so she needed to get him a new home ASAP. I took one look and was in love.
So, take a good look at my siggy, cause that's my new little guy, MILO. He's just a sweetie. Very playful, spunky, and just runs around like a maniac.
PS... If anyone wants to find me on Facebook... I'm under the name Jennie Lynn. I don't use my last name due to teaching. You'll see a blonde, although I'm back to brunette. I'm just getting back to me and getting comfortable with who I really am. Things are good!!
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!!

When does a nice little story become something real and lasting? The Ducks seem to be working on that. Against the scorching, NHL-leading Chicago Blackhawks, the Ducks rallied with a late goal by Andrew Cogliano to push it to a shootout Tuesday night and then watched Nick Bonino and Corey Perry deliver them an impressive 3-2 victory at United Center. Viktor Fasth stopped two of the Hawks' three shootout tries and the Pacific Division-leading Ducks (9-2-1) had their sixth victory in seven games. Chicago (10-0-3) remains the only team without a regulation loss. "It was pretty much a test for us to see where we stand," Fasth said. "I think we showed ourselves that we are a really good team and we can beat every team in the league." Fasth stopped 28 shots in a razor-sharp performance to improve to 6-0 in his first tour of the NHL. Cogliano tied it with just 2:40 remaining in regulation when he stayed near the net after losing his helmet and banged in a loose puck. "Sometimes you go to the net, you go the right places and things happen," Cogliano said. The Ducks persisted even as a video review on Brandon Saad's second-period tiebreaking goal didn't go their way. It was determined the puck crossed the line during a scrum in the crease before the net and its pegs were dislodged. Toni Lydman was called for interference with 9.8 seconds left in regulation and whistled again for high-sticking in overtime. But his teammates — despite a 29th-place ranking on the penalty kill — erased both.

Yeah, my jaw kind of dropped there at the price.
And it is almost to guaranteed to drop over time.
Don't forget you're getting: The A/C radio standard , a huge amount of space to store/program in, and support. Yes, support. So if you brick the thing with your endless tweaking of it, they'll try to get it back to working condition.
That stuff is going to cost early adopters. Like it always does. So chill out, have a cool beverage of your choice, and wait awhile. Let the other people absorb the early costs. Wait some for others to figure out the traps.
But for heaven's sake, shove the whining about the price right up your ass.
Considering I built my current router is a low-power dual core 2.0GHz x64 CPU with 4GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB SATA-III SSD and 5 gigabit Ethernet ports for ~$200, it shouldn't be too hard to add a wireless card for around $100 and call it a day.
As long as you don't count labor.
If you are buying a router to screw around with DD-WRT, you almost certainly aren't counting labor anyway.
Considering I built my current router is a low-power dual core 2.0GHz x64 CPU with 4GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB SATA-III SSD and 5 gigabit Ethernet ports for ~$200, it shouldn't be too hard to add a wireless card for around $100 and call it a day.
How much power does it use? Power consumption is an important factor in a device that's going to be running 24x7. 20 watts of difference in power consumption could be costing you $20/year or more depending on how much your power costs.
Normal use is around 35 watts (as measured by a Kill-A-Watt), although it will spike as high as 50 when powering up. It's not as competitive on that front, but it makes up for it in expandability. You can easily slap a couple of HDDs into it and have it fill NAS duties without the cost of a separate NAS. Full blown OSes usually give more options for power management as well, so I could set it up to go to sleep during the night or while I'm at work if I wanted to.
For me, the deficiencies in power are well worth what it makes up for in expansion/upgrading/ease of fixing if it breaks. I could have probably shaved off another 10 or 15 watts if I used something like an Atom without driving the price up too much. It's all a matter of what you want to do with your device; I have a full server rack in the basement and electricity is pretty cheap where I live, so it makes sense for me but I'll be the first to admit it's not for everybody.
For anyone interested, I originally had ClearOS on it and later switched to Sophos. Both are about as user-friendly as something like this gets for installation, maintenance and flexibility to easily add more roles to the device.
Y'all can keep rationalizing, but the fact remains that the WRT54g was interesting at $120 ten years ago, and fun at $60. There is NO WAY that this is going to see similar market penetration at $300.
Besides, high profile item prices seldom go downward between the vaporware stage and release, but they've been known to go upwards: what if it gets released at $450?!
A decade later, under $200 is only slightly interesting, and $100 makes me smile. 300 just annoys the fuck out of me: I won't spend 300 when the
802.11AC 4x4 MIMO card? Good luck finding that under a hundred mate.
Power consumption would be an issue with desktop hardware. I bought a brand new Alix kit (board, case and power adapter) from Ebay for less than $200 and run m0n0wall on it. It might not scale well with higher speed connections on the order of 50+ mbits but for my 20mbit cable, its more than enough. The only drawback is you need a mini-pci WIFI adapter if you want built in wifi and support is somewhat limited. I simply use an external WAP which is connected to a separate LAN port. I can filter traffic between the LAN and wifi networks to give me a bit more security as the wireless network can't talk to the LAN save for a few ports (SSH and http). I also disabled the router management for the wifi network, you must be on the hard wired LAN to configure the router.
Up time can be measured in years if there is no power loss. And the power consumption is around 5 watts. That is around 50 cents a month in electric costs, less than LED or CFL bulbs. Its even a bit smaller than the WAP54g. You can't go wrong for the price.
With... a netbook? Depending with the onboard chipset it's very possible. $300 is a lot of money for a computing device. What we're talking about here is a glorified Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone Black with some extra RJ-45 ports and a quality radio in a themo-injected plastic casing.
Even if you bought the Beagle Bone Black ($50), SD card ($15) and 5 port netgear gig-e switch ($35) that's only $100 worth of hardware leaving you $200 (retail) to buy a special chip and antennas.
And that's the o
Even if you bought the Beagle Bone Black ($50), SD card ($15) and 5 port netgear gig-e switch ($35) that's only $100 worth of hardware leaving you $200 (retail) to buy a special chip and antennas.
But then you'd be left with a single core 1 Ghz ARM CPU with 512MB of RAM rather than a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM with 256MB of RAM (plus USB3.0 and eSATA).
Whether it's better depends on which you need more - CPU or RAM.

$30 for that intel card. linux 3.11 and forward supports it.

Yes if you find the right MiniITX board with a soldered on processor. but nothing that will have 4 or more ethernet ports. honestly you need 3 network interfaces just for a basic router.

You really only need 2 ports for a basic router. If you need more, you can use tagged VLAN's.

In that case you could do with just one port on the router. Of course with only one port you only get half the bandwidth of two ports. But if you have 1Gbit/s between router and switch chip, I doubt that is going to be a bottleneck for many private usages. The port you saved on the router of course means you'll have to use one of the ports on the switch chip for WAN instead. So you gotta ask if the extra port on the

I don't trust tagged VLAN's enough to leave the tagged port open to the world, so I always keep the unsanitized public internet traffic on a separate port.

You can - the MiniITX/Atom-based routers that I build and sell to my clients have 5 gigabit NIC's on them. But MiniITX is niche, and the parts are not cheap. If you just need a cheap multi-port router, put in a Mikrotik, and then run your pfSense 'on a stick' with as many VLAN's as you need, unless you need wirespeed gigab
Not if it Just Fucking Works. JFW is a very valuable feature.
Additionally, it looks like performance will be a priority. With gigabit connections to the home finally becoming reality, the next generation of home routers needs to kick it up a notch. This one seems like it might have a shot at handling serious bandwidth. Gigabit wired ports, gigabit-capable wireless, dual-core processor, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing the benchmarks on this thing when it's ready.
But you can buy better hardware that is more open right now for less money. There are lots of options for a DIY router, boards that even have card slots so you can put on your own wireless card, etc..
Alix boards, and lots of others out there both ARM and even X86 based. Plus those boards you can run a real router like pfSense or IPCop on them instead.

I'm waiting for the new Alix APU [pcengines.ch] board to be available for my next firewall. I've been using an alix2d13 Alix board with pfSense and have been very happy for it. My current firewall has enough CPU power to route my full 50 mbit comcast connection, but I'd really like more RAM so I can load the pfBlocker list.
Shit. I could buy an Apple AirPort Time Capsule with 2TB storage for $299. It also comes with 802.11ac
Except what we've seen lately is companies simply quit making the device when they can no longer command premium prices, thus making sure the only way you can get one is to take your chances on the used market. Just look at how many of the first gen dual core tablets are still being sold, you'll find companies like Asus simply quit selling the unit when it can no longer get $300+ per unit.
Personally I hope I'm wrong but sitting here at the shop it looks like the market is gonna end up split in 2, with one
At first I was like "This could be my next router upgrade!"
Then I was like... [imgur.com]
I concur, when a FLAGSHIP home router can be had for 199, I can't see spending 300. People could afford to have two of the old WRTs, one for experimenting, and one for "Production."
I get that more radios / Antennas, and a dual 1.2GHZ processor alone all add up. A dual 1.2 isn't going to be as cheap as a whatever was in that wrt... (IIRC it was like 400mhz?) It's just that you can get a router w/ up to 5 separate networks (Plus V-lans) for $200. Maybe that was a typo, and was supposed to be 199?
$40 tablets at the dollar store often have a dual core processor these days and they have to include a battery and screen as well.
I am just dying to hook one of these up to my 1.5 mbs cable modem!
Don't need a router for NAS or sharing and there are plenty of cheap GB switches out there. The router usually on the edge.
Clearly you don't do a lot of networking between home computers like a NAS or something.
If your internal home network is so large that you need a router, and you're worried about speed, then you're not going to be buying a SOHO router to manage it. And since you probably don't need a router, you'll buy a full-duplex gigabit managed switch for $100 or so like the HP1810-8g. Then you'll buy a $50 or less wireless access point if you need wireless, and a $50 or less router to the outside, and still be $100 ahead.
Especially when other options exist at sharply reduced cost. I bought one like this Buffalo a few years back and use it as a NAS for my home network, and dd-wrt is natively supported by the company! [newegg.com]
I've bought over 40 of these and yet to see one die that wasn't from trying to skip steps flashing it. Even then they're recoverable.
By far the best consumer router out there IMHO.
For not much more than three hundred bucks I can put together a MicroATX router with dual NICs and a WiFi card that will have a lot more RAM, a lot more CPU power and even a reasonable bit of storage.
I have three of them, sans the WiFi, that are fanless with 60gb SSDs, that are the gateway/VPN routers running full Debian installs for our three offices. Admittedly they are el-cheapo chipsets, all of them running VIA x86 CPUs and 512mb of RAM, but for the kind of load we have, they do just fine.
Actually you can do it for less.
Yea you might want to better power supply and replace the spinning disk with an SSD but it can be done.

That makes an AirPort Extreme seem like a bargain
(I do own one though!)
In this case, you're paying for the radio transceiver technology along with an embedded computer. And if anything home-brew router related holds true, it's a quality transceiver that's the most important aspect when ensuring good WiFi coverage and stability.
For that price, you can probably add two-three decent separate access points for far better coverage to a budget router and still stay under the price.
Then the other part of me says "Shut up and take my money."
I think Cisco is going to win out even though I just retired my old WRT54G 6 months ago and have no need for a new router. The one I got is fine but I can't put DD-WRT or Open-WRT on it, and it's a pretty low-spec model.
A lot of AC routers are half the price. $199 maybe but $299 is just too much. You can run OpenWRT on much less expensive hardware. Too bad because I really want one.
I think they are missing the main reason that router sold so well..
At least the reason I bought them, and recommended them for others....
IT WAS CHEAP AND good.
It was a moderate priced option, that I KNEW would work for people. The fact that it had all the hackable benefits was gravy for me to have my own versions.
I didn't trust a lot of the other low end units to not constantly have problems. I could also talk someone into spending 50-75$ instead of 40$.
There is no way I could get someone to spend 300$ instead of 20-50$ now days..
There is no way I could get someone to spend 300$ instead of 20-50$ now days..
$300 is crazy, but I remember spending ~ $115 for a 54GL. That's also about what I spent on my first few WNDR3700's. Actually if you price that 54GL in food or energy, it's pretty close to $300 now. Obviously, Moore's Law, so that's not reasonable now, but the value is relevant.
While I love the guts of the WNDR3700's, having to solder and dremel in an antenna lead sucks, so for antenna-sensitive placements, Belkin might actual
I think they are missing the main reason that router sold so well..
No, they didnt. They are simply at the next stage. Taking old cult classic objects name, slapping it on modern hardware and selling to suckers for a premium.
Look at Ford Mustang. In 1964 it sold at 2/3 of Average car price. It got popular because it was CHEAP. Todays Mustang is a modern pimped piece of shit sold to hipsters at a premium.
Yikes. Could build a really small fan-less PC and run pfsense on it AND have storage..
YOU could, maybe. Most people can't.
I have my own VPS, and I'm not even sure I can.
Not that I agree with the price but the unit has eSata and USB ports- I assume you could add storage.
Bought it in 2004 or 2005 and am still using at my main, and only router. Thought about upgrading but I still haven't found a reason to.
I don't have any TiVos newer than S3s and S3 HDs, and they're on analog cable, but I'm successfully using a flashed 54G in wireless bridge mode to let the main room TiVos communicate with a stock 54G that's daisy-chanied to the cable modem by way of a BFSR41, both of which have all available ports used by other TiVos.
I give everything that doesn't leave the house a fixed IP address and use old CPU cooling fans installed internally in all that Linksys stuff and it works pretty well.
Never trust a product made by this company. "Belkin Routers Route Users to Censorware Ad" [slashdot.org], reported by Slashdot:
The Register has a story today about Belkin routers redirecting their users' network traffic. To me, this seems like the logical next step after top-level domain name servers piping ads to your browser. Now the routers themselves hijack the traffic they are supposed to, uh, route -- and you'll love where they send you instead. But it's OK because you can opt out. Incidentally, the Crystal Ball Award goes to Seth Finkelstein, who in 2001 quoted John Gilmore's famous aphorism about the internet, and asked "What if censorship is in the router?"
This company has been on my shitlist for ten years and always will be.
My main point was "vote with your dollars" against sleazeball behavior from companies like this. Some of their products may work fine, without incident, but that doesn't mean I want them to have a single dollar from me.
With OpenWRT or another Linux-based up-to-date router firmware (which you'll install on this specific device if you have anything worth mentioning between your ears), it has first-class IPv6 support, snmp included. Heck, OpenWRT can even do BGP and OSPFv3 if you add the appropriate packages...
Main problem of old design is ~20Mbit max routing speed. This is not enough outside of US, we in civilized places routinely get 120Mbit home connections.
I don't need a wireless radio that's going to crap out after a year to jack the cost up through the roof. I hate wireless, and I have access points already.
On the other hand, if they're going to offer a router-only version, then it might just be enough for me to overlook their past misdeeds [slashdot.org] long enough to give them another chance.
I've got a bad feeling about this.

I'm surprised that K's parents even want to attend, given how little they think of the event.Do we know if they are upset that a clash of dates might mean they can't attend, or if they fear the clash of dates will steal the thunder from their favourite daughter?
I think K should keep her wedding date. Next time her parents bring it up, I'd say "Oh, wouldn't that be just the most fantastic thing if C actually did have her baby on our wedding day? New Husband and I would have two things to celebrate on that day for the rest of our lives! Our anniversary and Little Niece's or Nephew's birthday! That would just be so awesome! Of course we'd miss you at our wedding, but it would be for such a happy reason that it wouldn't upset us at all."
I was baffled by posts that said . . . that a mother of the bride's time commitment is only 12 hours max.
Some weddings are small, and everyone lives in or near the same city, and there aren't many out of town guests, so the wedding is a few-hours event, and the parents are coming in from out of town, and the bride and groom are doing all the planning, and it's a family and community in which weddings are not so family-focused as in others, and the bride and her parents don't have the best relationship. So, yeah, then, maybe, 12 hours.
When my children were born, my mother came for a few days before the due date to grocery shop, cook, and learn how our house runs so she could run things and take care of the other visitors and let us rest and focus on the baby. And I was so glad she was there for the births, too -- even in the room the second time. She was such a huge help. The second time, I had preeclampsia, and had to lie down for a week before the birth; I don't know how we would have managed without her, especially with a preschooler to care for. She sure couldn't have left to go help someone with a wedding.
I personally don't get the idea that everyone in the family has to drop everything and sit at the hospital while they wait for someone ELSE to give birth. I just don't get it. You can wait at home as easily as you can wait there; even if medical complications arose, you wouldn't be allowed in the room anyway--might as well wait at home. And the dad can call you very nearly as soon as you'd hear if you were waiting in the hallway.

As Americans struggle through the paperwork to file their tax returns in these waning days of the tax season, many people wish the process could be easier.
And in some countries, it is.
People in Denmark, Sweden and Spain have simplified tax systems. In such systems, taxpayers can fill out their forms in a mere five minutes, using a prefilled return that uses employer and bank information the government already has.
The simplified process has been proposed in America too, endorsed by both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama.
Some say it could save a collective $2 billion and 225 million hours in preparation costs and time.
But lobbyists from the tax industry have opposed it.
The Tax Policy Center says under such a system it wouldn't be easy to handle capital gains, itemized deductions, business income, employee business expenses, moving expenses or individual retirement accounts, but it would be possible.
The system also could be set up to accommodate the three most common itemized deductions Americans make: for state and local taxes, mortgage interest and charitable contributions, according to the center.
And the system could be voluntary, so that those who felt they would benefit more by the work of filling out a full return could still do so.
Depending on how it was set up, the Tax Policy Center says between 8 million and 60 million people might not even need to file a return at all, including the majority of the 40 million-plus who now file the easier 1040A and 1040EZ forms.
They would have to provide, on a regular basis, information like filing status and dependents' identification, just as they do now.
Drawbacks, according to the Tax Policy Center, could be an increased administrative burden on employers and the significant investment that would go into setting up such a system within the IRS.
Most people want to make sure they pay no more than they owe, and no more than other citizens. But many also realize the tax code, which may be around 17,000 pages long (although many misrepresentations of its length have been reported), shouldn't be so complicated.

My Review
Average Rating
"Family loved this recipe!"
"I ran the chocolate chips & nuts (used walnuts) through the blender to finely chop before adding them to the dough. Mine were done baking in <12 min. I used 2 c flour & had no problems. Snowball cookies are supposed to be a bit on the dry/powdery side. Excellent recipe! Thanks!bce1965, you can use either, but I prefer semi-sweet to help counter the sweetness of the cookie dough."
"Do you use milk chocolate chips or semi sweet chips. Thank you!"
"These came out great! I saw after the fact that some reviewers decreased the flour, but mine came out just fine with the amount listed. For nuts I used freshly toasted, chopped almonds. I omitted the chocolate chips and instead dipped half the batch in white chocolate, half in dark chocolate. Super yum!"
"Just made these for my son-in-law he likes simple cookies will def make them again The only thing I changes after reading reviews I use about 1 1/2 cups of flour insead of the 2 that's called for"
"Very good, a little on the dry side"
"I'm sorry but whoever said these were dry and tasteless clearly did something wrong. These were awesome!!"
"Discovered this recipe last year and it's fantastic. The best snowball recipe ever! Love the chocolate chips in them."

Palmetto Tigers
Venice Indians
7:30 p.m., Friday, Powell-Davis Stadium, Venice
Directions: From Palmetto, follow Interstate 75 south to Exit 200. Take S.R. 681 to 41 south for another 2½ miles. Take Business 41 and go 1 mile. Go left at Indian Avenue and follow to school.
In last week in kickoff classics, the Tigers began clicking in the third quarter in a 34-26 victory over Riverview. The Indians struck early and often in a 49-7 decision over Southeast. Both teams have high aspirations for the season beginning with a district title. Both finished as district runners-up a year ago: Palmetto to Sarasota in Class 7A-District 10 and Venice to Largo in 6A-7. The Tigers used their running game led by 5-foot-5 senior RB Quincy Washington to fuel the passing attack by junior QB and University of Miami commit Jack Allison. Washington rushed for 158 yards on 17 carries and had 203 yards of total offense with two catches for 45 yards. Allison connected on 10-of-23 for 161 with junior WR Darius Washington (4 catches, 50 yards) his favorite target. Senior LB Wyatt Bradley had one of three sacks for the Tigers. The Indians unleashed a fierce attack behind freshman QB Bryce Carpenter, who went 6-for-15. He received plenty of help from the likes of junior RB Malik Bryant, a transfer from North Port who rushed for 51 yards, and senior WR Noah Montgomery. The Venice defense limited the Seminoles to 96 yards.

If I were the dean, your coming to me over this would annoy me.You can fix this just the way you currently are--by refusing to give her anything.And as far as not wanting to work with her, i would be saying, "have you talked to your professor?"I'm a busy person--don't bother me with something so small.
First of all, the dean is not usually the immediate superior to a professor. The situation as you describe it - it is over the top to go straight to the dean, especially if you haven't even bothered to talk to the prof yet. It's like going to the company VP because you have a problem with a co-worker and haven't bothered to talk to your supervisor. If it's class policy, then decide from there where to go with your concern (perhaps department chair after a civilized discussion with the professor?). But to go straight to the dean over a course work conflict with another student is the very definition of an over-reaction.

The public entrance to the house is located at
The Weltzheimer/Johnson House holds public open house hours on the
first Sunday of each month, from April through November.
Hours are 12pm until 5pm.
Presentations on the architecture and history of the house begin on the hour (12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, and 4pm and are limited to 50 participants per hour).
Advance registration is required. An online registration form will be available 3 weeks prior to the opening. The June 3rd open house is full!
Admission is $5 per adult, and is payable at the house (cash or check only).
College students and children under 18 are admitted free of charge. During FRONT, there is no admission charge.
The Weltzheimer/Johnson House at Oberlin College is a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian House that sits on a lot several blocks from campus. Designed in 1947 and completed in 1949, it is the first Usonian house in Ohio and one of the few in the nation open to the public.
The Weltzheimer/Johnson House stands as another expression of Wright's answer to the demand for beautiful and affordable middle-class homes in the post WWII America. Pairing innovation with basic owner-builder construction materials and techniques, the concepts of organic architecture evolved into these Usonian characteristics: a flowing floor plan with distinct public and private wings; concrete, grid patterned, slab floor with radiant heat; flat roof and cantilevered carport; masonry fireplace mass; board and batten walls with simple built-in furniture; and tall glass walls and doors opening to the landscape.
The Weltzheimer/Johnson House uses brick masonry and redwood and has several distinctive features, including the hundreds of stained croquet balls forming the roof dentil ornamentation whose circular motif is echoed in the shadow panel screens of the clerestory and the interior brick columns that separate the workspace from the living room.
The Weltzheimer family lived in the house until 1963 when the property was sold to developers and "remodeling" efforts scarred the space. However, in 1968, Art History Professor Ellen H. Johnson purchased the home and began the restoration process. In 1992 at her death, the house was given to Oberlin College to serve as a guesthouse for the Art Department and the Allen Memorial Art Museum. The house is now open to the public for tours and programs.
Frank Lloyd Wright at Oberlin: The Story of the Welzheimer/Johnson House, Allen Memorial Art Museum Bulletin 49, no. 1 (1995), is available at the Weltzheimer/Johnson House during tour hours. Bulletin is $10 per copy.

To the Editor:
Frederick Douglas said, "It is easier to build strong children than repair broken men." Then why do Americans spend on average $10,500 a year to educate a child and $47,000 a year to keep a man in prison.
If we were truly the greatest country on Earth, we would spend $47,000 a year educating a child so he/she doesn't end up in prison.
Teachers are made out to be bad people demanding more money. They are accused of working only nine months a year.
People think teachers work short hours, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., for example. However, teachers more often than not go to school early and stay late. They have to take work home. The average teacher makes only $40,000 per year. They also have to buy supplies for their classrooms.
When was the last time a professional football player was criticized for only working seven months a year? Do they have to buy their own uniforms? I don't think so. And the average professional football player in the NFL makes nearly $2 million. Are they responsible for the future of this country?
The United States never will be the greatest nation on Earth unless we start respecting teachers for the hard work they do, paying them a fair salary, and working to "build strong children" instead of trying to "repair broken men."

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Caught up in a family disagreement over who should care for three young children, a grandmother and her son barricaded themselves and the kids in a garage and filled it with deadly carbon monoxide gas. All five died.
Police spent Tuesday trying to explain the heartbreaking scene discovered a day earlier at the home of 54-year-old Sandy Ford and her son Andy in a quiet Toledo neighborhood.
Firefighters using a sledgehammer broke down the garage door to find the bodies of 5-year-old Madalyn Hayes, her 6-year-old brother Logan and 10-year-old sister Paige slumped inside a car, along with their grandmother and uncle. Two hoses attached to the exhaust of a pickup truck pumped gas fumes through the car's rear window.
Police said letters inside the house indicated the woman and her son plotted the murder-suicide, beginning by picking up the children from school Monday morning after their mother had dropped them off earlier.
They also had disabled the garage door opener and nailed plywood over the windows, said Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan. He wouldn't say what was in the letters, but it appeared some were written by the children.
"We're trying to figure out all the why's in this," he said.
Authorities were called to the home by the children's frantic grandfather after he discovered the letters and was unable to force open the garage door. Despite the grisly scene, investigators found no signs the children were forced into the car and believe all five died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Until last week, the children had spent the last three years living with their grandparents, Sandy and Randy Ford, and their uncle at the house in a residential neighborhood close to the Michigan state line.
Their mother, Mandy Hayes, had asked her mom for help caring for the three children because a fourth child at the home was becoming disruptive, said children's services representatives and a family friend.
"She was just being protective," said the friend, Cammie Turner.
While the children were living with their grandparents, their parents saw them almost every day and went on outings to parks and the zoo, Turner said.
"Their kids mean everything to them," she said.
But recently Hayes had decided they should all return home, and the children moved back in with their parents last week, upsetting Hayes' mother, Turner said.
"Mandy wasn't taking the kids away from her entirely," she said. "She wanted them home. It wasn't like she was taking them and grandma could never see them again."
Turner said Hayes had confided that her mother was controlling, but she never seemed alarmed by it.

Virgin Blue Moved by Passenger Support
Virgin Blue and Guests now have more room to move in Melbourne with the low fare airline beginning operations out of the South Terminal.
It follows last month's 10-year agreement between Virgin Blue and Melbourne Airport regarding access to the vacant former Ansett facility, after Virgin Blue outgrew the Domestic Express Terminal.
The move will cement Virgin Blue's position as Australia's number one airline when it come to low fares and high quality service, providing an additional six check-in desks as well as seven departure and arrival gates, meaning added efficiency for Guests checking in during peak times.
It will also mean the opportunity for the airline to increase the number of future flights in and out of the Victorian capital, already Virgin Blue's largest single operations base with 70 flights a day in and out of Melbourne.
Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, "Operating from Melbourne Airport's modern, comfortable facility at a fair price is a vital part of our long term expansion plan."
He continued, "Melbourne Airport clearly has a good understanding of Virgin Blue's future needs and is happy to let us manage a great airline while they manage a great airport. Their co-operative and consultative approach will allow the continued growth of high quality, low fare services to Melbourne and we only wish Macquarie's Sydney Airport could learn from Melbourne's example".
Virgin Blue has arranged flexible procedures that will allow it to continue boarding and disembarking using stairs on sunny days, after Virgin Blue Guests regularly comment on how much they enjoy seeing the aircraft they are flying in rather than being shunted through a tunnel.
The efficient method of using front and back stairs is also a key factor in maintaining Virgin Blue's outstanding on-time performance record. However, the airline will now also have full access to aerobridges during inclement weather or to assist special needs Guests.
The other benefits for passengers include improved baggage collection, a wide selection of concessions as well as convenient and weather protected access to other airport facilities such as parking, hotels and the International terminal.
Brett Godfrey added, "It's all about flexibility, convenience, comfort and affordable fares. Melbourne Airport has engineered a win-win for all involved, most importantly Virgin Blue Guests who will enjoy a fantastic facility but still have access to affordable air fares."
Virgin Blue is Australia's multi-award winning low fare airline servicing every state and territory in the country with its fleet of brand new Next Generation 737 aircraft.

This document consists of a set of principles which, if committed to and acted upon by members of the Riverside community, will help us become a truly inclusive twenty-first-century city. Such an inclusive community would be based on two fundamental premises. First, all Riversiders should be and should see themselves as respected, contributing members of the community. Second, all Riversiders should be bound by a common set of principles based on fairness of treatment, recognition of rights, acceptance of responsibilities, commitment to equality, and dedication to expanding opportunities for all.
A city of considerable racial, ethnic, religious, and other types of diversity, Riverside has etched a complex history. That history has included both significant efforts to achieve greater justice, equality, and understanding, as well as unfortunate periods and events that have demonstrated the need for increased commitment, ideas, and action to work toward these goals
As we move into the demographically-challenging, globally-shrinking twenty-first century, Riversiders face opportunities and challenges related to diversity: race and religion, gender and ethnicity, language and sexual orientation, diverse abilities and disabilities. Intersecting with such dimensions of diversity are other critical underlying factors such as economic and educational disparities. Therefore, it is increasingly imperative that Riversiders -- as individuals, as groups, and as institutions -- assume the responsibility of facing the challenges and seizing the opportunities created by diversity.
We are currently in the process of implementing measures to reward organizations that exemplify inclusion. We enthusiastically welcome you to read the statement and make a firm commitment to "Building a More Inclusive Riverside Community." The statement is also on display on the 7th floor of City Hall for your viewing.
While recognizing that this will be a long, ongoing, and evolving process, as Riversiders we believe that the following principles provide a basis for building that more inclusive community.
Seizing Our Destiny

Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank 232
SternisheFan writes "As Syria's rebels work to overthrow the tank-equipped Assad regime, they've learned that it helps to have tanks of their own. They deserve bonus points for integrating video game technology. This is no exaggeration. Have a look at the opposition forces' "100 percent made in Syria" armored vehicle, the Sham II. Named for ancient Syria and assembled out of spare parts over the course of a month, the Sham II is sort of rough around the edges, but it's got impressive guts. It rides on the chassis of an old diesel car and is fully encased in light steel that's rusted from the elements. Five cameras are mounted around the tank's outside, and there's a machine gun mounted on a turning turret. Inside, it kind of looks like a man cave. A couple of flat screen TVs are mounted on opposite walls. The driver sits in front of one, controlling the vehicle with a steering wheel, and the gunner sits at the other, aiming the machine gun with a Playstation controller."

What's the old saying about investors chasing after high returns? Something like that, except with missed opportunities.
Long/short equity hedge funds had the highest net investor outflows during 2012. But this year the category is on pace to return over 20% for the year, with a more than 6% rise through April, according to eVestment. This performance makes long/short equity the top performing large category tracked by the firm. Other top performing groups are healthcare (up 9.86%), small and microcap (8.78%), and financials (up 8.68%).
Emerging Europe funds are also especially strong, rising 12.91% YTD.
