Dear Kay,
Wow wow wow. So many books! Thanks to all for sharing what you're reading right now. I find all this totally fascinating.
There are five randomly chosen winners in our contest; wish I could be Oprah and give away 360 copies of Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting. Here are the books these folks are reading. Does it get any more ecumenical than this?
JULES M.: I am reading a book called Do-It-Yourself-Therapy, I kid you not. It was a gift from my sister, is she trying to tell me something?
HELENE WILLIAMS: I've got a stack of 7 books that I'm reviewing—not sure if they'll all be read/written about on time! Current title in my hand is Bound in Venice, by Alessandro Marzo Magno—non-fiction about publishing in the 15th and 16th centuries, when Venice was the center of the book world. Hundreds of wonderful tidbits about the people, the time, and the place. Ah, Venice! (But now, a couple of rows on a shawl. . . .)
LISA O: I'm always reading more than one book at a time! Currently it's Allegiant by Victoria Roth (Divergent Series) and The Yarn Whisperer by Clara Parkes. I'd love to read this new book . . .
KAREN IN MCLEAN: Red Strangers, by Elizabeth Huxley, is in my lap at night. This book is a must read for authors as Huxley has recounted the colonization of Kenya from the perspective of some of the Kikuyu tribe (still in Kenya according to recent travelers), starting with the occasional visit by a trader. Even the tempo of life is captured, much like the slow tempo of Middlemarch, another village's story. I should feel like I should apologize for rattling on, but no such luck—it is a great book and has been reprinted. Cheers to all.
DIANE: I'm reading The Solace of Open Spaces by Gretel Ehrlich, along with Molecular Biology for Dummies (I'm not kidding). A knitting book would make a great triumvirate, don't ya think?
In knitting news, I am having my regular bout of euphoria over the arrival of a new volume of Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People. In this Book Six, Jared Flood's photographs are somehow even more atmospheric than ever.
Go linger with the look book. The Shawangunks have never looked so painterly, so shawangunky. The designers in this issue are a mix of favorites and names new to me. Just when I think I know so much, I find a whole new human designing cool stuff, like Dianna Walla.
I totally bit and bought Carol Feller's Carpino. And just in time: there's a batch of Madeline Tosh Sock, colorway Ink, that is sorely overdue for its destiny. Of course, I was a skein short, so as with all stashbusting projects, I had to go buy more.
[Edited to add!] PS So funny: I thought I'd never seen the patterns of Dianna Walla, but the fact is, I've already MADE half of one of her patterns, the sublime Pine Bough Cowl. I need to finish this cowl right NOW. It's so great.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Last week Nvidia has announced a new mid-range GPU, namely the GTX 950 that is being positioned between the GTX 750 Ti and the GTX 960. Interestingly enough the GTX 950 has 128 CUDA cores more than 750 Ti and a TDP of 90W with a price point that is a bit higher than the 750 Ti, so the big question is if the GTX 950 can be the new affordable and low-power usage alternative for mining suceeding the 750 Ti. We took an MSI GeForce GTX 950 Gaming 2G video card and have tested how it performs for crypto mining in various algorithms using the latest ccMiner fork from SP optimized fro Maxwell GPUs as the GTX 950 is Compute 5.2 card. We have also tested using Ethminer for mining Ethereum's Ether (ETH) coins as these are pretty hot and profitable to mine at the moment.
The table above does not contain results for the following algorithms that are supported by ccMiner: lyra2, skein, yescrypt, whirl, x14, x17 as when trying to test them we have encountered errors or the miner software crashing. We are not sure if this is directly related to the use of GTX 950 and the default intensity settings not working for some algorithms, or just that there are issues with the specific algorithms in the latest code of ccMiner. The TDP result shows how much power the video card uses for each of the algorithm with 100% TDP being equal to 90W of power usage on a normal GTX 950, but on the MSI factory overclocked Gaming model the 100% TDP is actually equal to 110W. As you can see however very fee of the algorithms are getting close to the maximum TDP of the GTX 950, so the actual power usage could be even lower than 90W on most of the algorithms.

Falling gold prices delay plans to reopen Cononish mine
Plans to reopen the Cononish mine near Tyndrum in Stirlingshire have been delayed due to falling gold prices.
Scotgold Resources said the project remained viable and would generate a cashflow of more than £39m before tax over its first seven years of operation, at current gold prices.
But it warned that the fluctuating price had dented market confidence.
As a result, Scotgold said it had decided not to seek further funding for the scheme until conditions improved.
A study has predicted that once operational, the mine could produce up of 20,200 ounces of gold a year.
At current prices, that would give the Cononish project a rate of return of about 37% before tax and see the initial investment repaid within 26 months of the start of production.
However, Scotgold said the market remained wary after gold prices fell by more than 9% at the beginning of April, the biggest drop for 30 years.
Challenging market
The depressed market has made the company reconsider plans to seek additional funds to bring the mine into full production.
Executive chairman John Bentley said: "The recent sharp decline in the gold price has severely dented market confidence, albeit that there has been significant positive movement since the lows recorded on 15 April 2013.
"The potential to raise the required equity financing for the project is considered to be severely challenging under current market conditions.
"The board has thus decided to defer an immediate raise pending an improvement in market sentiment."
Mr Bentley said the firm would now not be approaching investors until the gold price "calms down".
Last November, the mining company secured a pre-development loan worth nearly £1.2m from RMB Resources to help continue the drilling programme at the mine in the Loch Lomond National Park.
Considering options
Mr Bentley said RMB still backed the scheme and was "evaluating project debt capacities under a range of varying gold price scenarios in order to assist the company in evaluating an optimal approach to financing the project".
He added that Scotgold would continue efforts to get the mine into full production.
Mr Bentley added: "We are considering a number of strategic alternatives with a view to advancing the project and achieving the overriding objective of delivering Scotland's first commercial gold mine.
"Importantly, with all the work that has been completed on the planning conditions and the tailings dam design, the mine is capable of producing first gold within 15 months of funding."
Scotgold maintained that the Cononish mine was "ready to go" but that the project would only go ahead once the full amount of the investment needed was raised.
It added from then, it would take 15 months to get into full production, meaning mining will not start until end of 2014 at the earliest.

Royals prepping for Tigers' new speed game
DETROIT -- The word around Detroit is that the 2014 Tigers are switching to speed and athleticism as opposed to the old power and mayhem in their offense.
"That's fine," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "I'm ready for any team to run on us. We've got one of the best throwing catchers in baseball [Salvador Perez] and all of our pitchers do a great job of slide-stepping and controlling the running game."
The Tigers stole all of 35 bases last year, last in the American League, while the Royals had a league-high 153.
"They didn't have to steal a lot of bases last year because they had some pretty efficient run-producers," Yost said.
The Royals skipper, of course, keeps track of the offseason movements of his rivals.
"Was I glad they got rid of Prince Fielder? Yeah, I was glad about that, but their pitching is very good," Yost said. "They lost a good one in [pitcher Bruce] Rondon, a pretty solid guy, like we lost a good one in Hoch."
Both Rondon and Royals pitcher Luke Hochevar are on the disabled list.
And the Tigers lost a crucial player when shortstop Jose Iglesias went on the DL with stress fractures of the legs.
"Yeah, you look at that and you say, 'That kid's a pretty slick shortstop.' And then you think to yourself: OK, what would that mean to us -- if we lost [Alcides] Escobar it'd be a huge blow," Yost said. "As a team that competes against them, you don't want to see anybody get hurt, but it helps us a little bit."
The Tigers also added Joe Nathan to be the closer, a shaky spot for them in recent years.
"He's a guy with great experience and that counts for a lot," Yost said.

Q1: Can they be straightened, curled?
A:Treat the hair as it is your own hair. Use a flat iron/straightener, but as with your own hair, never use hot tools too often.
Q2: Can I dye or bleach the hair?
A:yes. The hair can be colored. As a general rule it is easier to darken the hair than to lighter the hair. We highly recommend having your hairdresser dye the extensions, coloring them yourself always poses a high risk of not coming out the shade you want. If you can not get to a salon, use a good quality hair dye and test a small sample first please.
Q3: Can I wash the hair?
A:you can wash them as you would your own. Shampoo and conditioner. Because the hair is not attached to your scalp,it is not getting the oils it should be. We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every few weeks.
Q4: Can I blow-dry the hair?
A:The extensions can be blow-dryed on low setting, but it is not recommended to do it too often. It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them.
Q5: Why are my hair getting tangled?
A:Your hair can tangle due to dryness, oil, dirt build-up and not combing (wide tooth comb) out your hair daily. Make sure to wash and condition your hair at least once a week, comb the hair daily and use hydrating drops.
Q6: How long does it last?
A:This hair can last for a very long time depending on how you maintain it. Treat it like your own hair and take very good care of it for it last longer.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Kava is a member of the pepper family that has long been cultivated by Pacific Islanders for use as a social and ceremonial drink. The first description of kava came to the West from Captain James Cook on his celebrated voyages through the South Seas. Cook reported that on occasions when village elders and chieftains gathered together for significant meetings, they would hold an elaborate kava ceremony. Typically, each participant would drink two or three bowls of chewed kava mixed with coconut milk. Kava was also drunk in less formal social settings as a mild intoxicant.
When they learned about kava's effects, European scientists set to work trying to isolate its active ingredients. However, it wasn't until 1966 that substances named kavalactones were isolated and found to be effective sedatives. One of the most active of these is dihydrokavain, which has been found to produce a sedative, painkilling, and anticonvulsant effect. 1,2,3 Other named kavalactones include kavain, methysticin, and dihydromethysticin.
High doses of kava extracts are thought to cause muscle relaxation and even paralysis (without loss of consciousness) at very high doses. 4-7 Kava also has local anesthetic properties, producing peculiar numbing sensations when held in the mouth.
The method of action of kava is not fully understood. Conventional tranquilizers in the Valium family interact with special binding sites in the brain called GABA receptors. Early studies of kava suggested that the herb does not affect these receptors. 8 However, more recent studies have found an interaction. 9,10 The early researchers may have missed the connection because kava appears to affect somewhat unusual parts of the brain.
What Is Kava Used for Today?
Kava is associated with relieving "states of nervous anxiety, tension, and agitation," based on evidence from several double-blind studies . 13,16,18,38,39
Like other anxiety-reducing drugs, kava could be useful for insomnia, but most of the supporting evidence for this use remains inconclusive. 11,12 One small, double-blind study found that daily use of kava reduced sleep disturbances linked to anxiety . 40 However, a larger study failed to find benefits in people with both insomnia and anxiety. 55 A systematic review of 14 randomized trials using kava and other herbal remedies for insomnia supported previous findings, but conceded that more research is needed.57
Kava has been looked at as a possible aid for people experiencing alcohol withdrawal, but has not yet been evaluated for this purpose in humans.58
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Kava?
There have been at least 11 placebo-controlled studies of kava, involving a total of more than 700 people. 13,16,18,38,39,41-43, 55 Most found kava helpful for anxiety symptoms.
One of the best of these was a 6-month, double-blind study that tested kava's effectiveness in 100 people with various forms of anxiety. 13 Over the course of the trial, they were evaluated with a list of questions called the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A). The HAM-A assigns a total score based on such symptoms as restlessness, nervousness, heart palpitations, stomach discomfort, dizziness, and chest pain. Lower scores indicate reduced anxiety. Participants who were given kava showed significantly improved scores beginning at 8 weeks and continuing throughout the duration of the treatment.
This study is notable for the long delay before kava was effective. Previous studies had shown a good response in one week. 14,15,16 The reason for this discrepancy is unclear.
Several double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have specifically tested kava for the treatment of the anxiety that often occurs during menopause . 15,16, 38 In one study, 40 women were given either kava plus standard hormone therapy or hormone therapy alone for a period of 6 months. The results showed that women given kava experienced greater improvement in symptoms than those given hormone therapy alone.
However, not all studies have been positive. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study failed to find kava effective for people with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). 39 Another study failed to find kava more effective than placebo for people with both anxiety and insomnia. 55
Besides these placebo-controlled studies, one 6-month, double-blind study compared kava against two standard anxiety drugs (oxazepam and bromazepam) in 174 people with anxiety symptoms. 18 Improvement in HAM-A scores was about the same in all groups. Another study found kava equally effective as the drugs buspirone and opipramol. 44
A 5-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial studied 40 people who had been taking standard anti-anxiety drugs ( benzodiazepines ) for an average duration of 20 months. 17 Participants were gradually tapered off their medications and switched to kava or placebo. Individuals taking kava showed some improvement in anxiety symptoms. This would appear to indicate that kava can successfully be substituted for benzodiazepine drugs. However, participants who were switched from benzodiazepines to placebo showed little to no increase in anxiety, suggesting perhaps that they didn't really need medication after all! Thus, the results of this study are hard to interpret.
Note : This trial involved close medical supervision and very gradual tapering of benzodiazepine dosages. Do not discontinue anti-anxiety medications without supervision. Withdrawal symptoms can be life-threatening.
One study purported to find evidence that kava helps reduce reactions to stressful situations . 19 Although, the results mean little because the study lacked a placebo group.
A typical dosage of kava when used for treatment of anxiety is 300 mg daily of a product standardized to contain 70% kavalactones. A lower dose of 150 mg daily has also been tested, but may be less effective. 45,46
The typical dosage for insomnia is 210 mg of kavalactones 1 hour before bedtime.
Safety Issues
Kava is generally considered safe, but there have been concerns about its toxic effects on the liver. A study of 4,049 people who took a rather low dose of kava (70 mg of kavalactones daily) for 7 weeks found side effects in 1.5% of cases. These were mostly mild gastrointestinal complaints and allergic rashes. 21 A 4-week study of 3,029 people given 240 mg of kavalactones daily showed a 2.3% incidence of basically the same side effects. 22 One review of the literature concluded that "the data support the safety of kava in treating anxiety at 280 mg kava lactones daily for 4 weeks." 47
However, a growing number of case reports have raised serious concerns about kava's safety. These reports suggest that, occasionally, even normal doses of kava can cause severe liver injury. 25,26,36,37,48-50 However, case reports are notorious for failing to show cause and effect without the use of comparative controls. Some well-regarded experts who have reviewed the literature feel that kava has not been shown to be unsafe. 51,52,59 In a report examining 26 alleged liver toxicity cases in kava users, consuming the herb at the recommended daily dose (less than 120 mg) and duration (less than 3 months) was clearly linked with only one case. 56 In all other cases, kava was either not implicated, was taken inappropriately, or was combined with another drug.
A literature review citing two separate randomized trials and a review of 11 other randomized trials found no adverse liver affects. In the trials, kava was used as a treatment for anxiety with or without depression. Dosage in 2 of the trials was 240 or 250 mg of kavalactones. The length of time varied between studies.60
There are other safety concerns as well. For example, kava should not be used by individuals who have had "acute dystonic reactions." These consist of spasms in the muscles of the neck and movements of the eyes, which are believed to be related to effects on dopamine. They are typically caused by antipsychotic drugs , which affect dopamine. Kava might trigger such reactions, too. 24
At ordinary doses, kava does not appear to produce mental cloudiness. 27,28,53 However, high doses cause inebriation 54 and can lead to charges of driving under the influence of drugs.
One study suggests that kava does not amplify the effects of alcohol. 32 However, there is a case report indicating that kava can increase the effects of certain sedative drugs. 33 For this reason, kava probably should not be combined with any drugs that depress mental function. Kava should also not be combined with antipsychotic drugs or drugs used for Parkinson's disease , due to the potential for increased problems with movement. 34
Kava is not available in every country. The countries that allow the use of kava may do so with strict regulations. If you wish to use this herb, seek physician supervision. People with current liver problems, who drink alcohol excessively, or who take medications that can harm the liver, may have an increased risk of harm by kava. Kava also interacts with certain other medications you may be taking.
Kava is not recommended in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- Medications for insomnia or anxiety such as benzodiazepines : Do not take kava in addition to them.
- Antipsychotic drugs : Kava might increase the risk of a particular side effect consisting of sudden abnormal movements, called a dystonic reaction.
- Levodopa for Parkinson's disease: Kava might reduce its effectiveness.
- Medications that can irritate the liver: Avoid kava. Numerous medications have this potential. Ask your physician to see if this concern applies to you.

hat: river island
Got some boots from River Island which I paid partially with some vouchers I had left over when I did some work with River Island for their website as a "Industry Insider". I paid £20 out of pocket which isn't too bad! I don't really need another pair of boots, but ho hum! I bought this snow leopard hat with ears purely because I thought it was too cute, one of those items I doubt I'd get much wear out of until it goes really cold, but I totally love it! I wore it today actually! I just saw on the website they have a proper leopard version too! I also got the Sleek Makeup Pout Paints as they were 3 for 2 in Superdrug, I need to buy a lip brush now to test them out properly. Also bought the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish along with the Instant Boost tonic from John Lewis while in London which I really like!
I did buy a few other things including some eyelashes, fake nails & some mini BB creams to test out. They haven't come yet so don't count ;)

FBR Capital Markets said on Monday that production of Apple's iconic iPhone might plunge more than 40 percent in the fourth quarter from the previous period.
"Previous checks indicated that iPhone production would fall about 10 percent sequentially in calendar 4Q," said FBR's note by Craig Berger, "(but) our new checks indicate that iPhone production could fall more than 40 percent sequentially in 4Q."
An Apple spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
NPD Group analyst Ross Rubin said: "To cut volume by 40 percent would be dramatic."
FBR's Berger said his findings were a "good proxy for broader consumer demand."
Van Baker of Gartner said that if there were such a cut, it might reflect Apple's ramp-up of delivery to countries outside the United States.
While the company needed to produce many phones to fill the supply chain overseas, he said, all it now needs to do is meet continuing demand, which may be tapering off.
Such a cut "could end up painting an ugly picture, but not as ugly as it seems on face value," Baker said.
Apple reported a stronger-than-expected 26 percent rise in quarterly profit last month, spurred by sales of the iPhone. The company sold 6.89 million iPhones in the quarter, outpacing BlackBerry maker Research in Motion.

Alright. The rules in this thread are the same as the last one for my tools. A great many things have been updated recently. And there are some pretty sweet features coming in the near future. But as always it is best to start with a charter for this thread.
Just like before these are rules for this thread, not the forum. If you want to discuss things deemed off limits here make your own threads and set your own rules. But if you decide to participate here then please follow the guidelines.
So the rules for this thread are:
1- NO FLAMES AND NO ARGUMENTS... I am through trying to be nice on this as it just plain does not work. I will without reservation delete anything that shows up here that could be considered either of the above. Enough is enough.
2- It has become clear that we have 2 distinct camps with zealots in both. Fine. Use my stuff. Use Olaf's. I couldn't care less. Many of us got dragged into a war we didn't know we were supposed to be involved in... So a new rule. We discuss ONLY my own tools here... Leave the rest in their own threads! This is not intended to be an attack but rather to stop them. You don't like me. Fine. You don't like my tools fine. You don't like those that use them. You're an ***** but fine for hating people you have never ever met so just go somewhere else.
3- NO ADVERTISING FOR OTHER TOOLS. Again this thread is again about Vsplit/TyTool. If you have something cool to use in place of or even with them the take it to a different thread. Any post by anyone about "you really should use X instead..." is gone the moment I or some of other mods see it.
This is still an open forum. Create your own thread and have at it. But such posts are entirely unwelcome here.
4- Feel free to discuss various OS/wishes/desires/etc.... At some point we should support as much as is possible.
5- Feel free to ask for features but be aware that I am making no promises except to work on things in general... I mean it. Ask. But don't hound me or anyone else, that accomplishes nothing. If you think of something that would be cool let me know. I will add it to the list.
6- I suppose I should say it... I reserve the right to disappear at any time. Just like you do. When life interferes hobbies get put on hold. Having said that it will be obvious when you look at the new toolset that I have been putting in a great deal of time on it. Hope that it helps every do what they want to with their Tivos...
7- Keep DVDLab, tmpgenc et all to a dull roar in here please. It might be better say that we are now 3 camps. TyTool, TyStudio, and TyTool with the output being used elsewhere. I don't mind the occasional this works with DVDLab/Tmpgenc etc... in reference to a problem someone asks about. But in the last while it has felt like we had dropped to advertising again. Please don't do that. There are a number of very good DVDLab threads here on the forum to do that kind of thing etc...
An important note!
Several of these programs require the cygwin1.dll to run. Some of the tools in the TyTool release, mpeg2enc and dvdauthor most notably, were compiled with the cygwin cross compiler. To run these require the presence of the cygwin1,.dll file. This file is huge and seems to get larger all of the time. There is no need to download a new copy of this file everytime. While it does change it is not that frequent. So please download the zip for it from here in this post or else grab it from the homepage: www.cygwin.com
Again, if you try to use the Frame Accurate Editing or DVD features of TyTool this dll is required. If you see a major popup window when trying you are missing the dll. Please unpack the DLL into the same directory as the rest of the TyTool files and executables.

Poet Christian Bok believes in taking poetry to new frontiers, which is why he injected poetry-encoded DNA into bacterium, essentially making the microorganisms create their own poetry. He wonders about the limited subject matter of other poets:
"I am amazed that poets will continue to write about their divorces, even though there is currently a robot taking pictures of orange ethane lakes on Titan."
Jane Litte at Dear Author has some book-related predictions for 2013, and though most are pretty serious, this one is a little more whimsical. I'm not sure if she's right:
"Romance covers will become less focused on the man titty."
Dark Markets is a darned useful site for anyone whose writing tends toward the creepy. It's not just a list of potential markets, though, but often has useful writing tips, such as this list of brutally honest advice from Lorna Keach. Read it all, especially if you agree with this snippet:
"If you are the kind of writer who does not read, your writing sucks."
A lovely piece in the Granta blog by Yuka Igarashi talks about the minutiae of proofreading The Best of Young Brazilian Novelists, and how the task infected both her brain and her leisure time:
"Can a city be dust-covered and windy at the same time? Have we been consistent in the way we punctuate maté, Sugarloaf Mountain, the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, the Candidates Tournament for chess and every one of the numerous international airports mentioned in the stories? Is it possible for a headless chicken to stare at you? Does 'shithole' have a hyphen in it?"
E-readers make reading a lot less dirty, but Wired writer Daniel Donahoo prefers the dirt, arguing that children's books are better when you can see where they've been:
"Our books should reflect the lives we lead — messy and uncertain, but well lived and loved."
Should poetry and science be blended? Or are they already the same thing? What's your take on the deeper symbolism of the prevalence of the man titty? Discuss.

WWII Mine Detonated in Bay Head [VIDEO]
A military explosives team has detonated a suspected mine that a diver discovered partially buried in the sand in the ocean off Bay Head but several problems remain.
A plume of water shot about 125 feet in the air, and a boom echoed through Bay Head on Wednesday morning.
Borough Beach Manager Hank Handschen says the explosion sheared off the top of the mine and the bottom is still stuck in the muck under the surf and now has jagged edges making for less concern about an unexpected detonation and more of a swimming hazard.
Navy divers are now trying to find a way to pull it out of the sea bed. Hank estimates that it's about three feet in diameter and extraordinarily heavy. He's been told that it had the capacity to hold about 600 pounds of explosives.
Handschen tells us the explosive was spotted Tuesday. "I got a phone call yesterday from one of the guards," he said, "he spotted this World War II mine down in the water near Johnson Street about 5 o'clock."
Handschen says that witnesses weren't entirely sure what it was at first, because it wasn't totally visible about 20 yards offshore. "It was pretty much submerged, there was just a little part of it exposed," he says.
The Navy plan is to detonate it, but Handschen says even they're not sure if it will work the first time. If not, they'll have to wire it up for explosion again - and the beach will stay off-limits until they succeed.

We as subscribing members and HouseHunt.com, HouseHunt.org and moveUp.com (referred to as "HouseHunt," "we," "us," or "our") recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about our users (referred to as "users," "you" or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At HouseHunt it is our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect your Information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.
To that end, HouseHunt gathers two types of information about Users: data that Users provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites; and data HouseHunt gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Users' needs better and to help our service providers understand our Users. We do not share Information with advertisers. Because HouseHunt derives its revenue mainly from e-commerce, providing such aggregated data is essential to keeping our service free to the public. However, be assured that HouseHunt will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.
How does HouseHunt collect Information?
Optional registration
We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register at a site or request information or a service. Usually, the HouseHunt sites and HouseHunt's service partners use your information to operate the sites and to deliver services you request.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses:
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.
HouseHunt collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, and to audit the use of our site. When Users request pages from HouseHunt and/or its affiliates' sites, our servers log the Users' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a User's session will be logged, but the User will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a User when we feel it is necessary to protect our service, site, users or others.

Kapiolani Community College increases access for international students with STEP EIKEN English proficiency test
Early findings of KCC's STEP research study indicate a good correlation with TOEFLKapiʻolani Community College
Honda International Center
HONOLULU — In an effort to broaden access for international students, Kapiʻolani Community College (KCC) is utilizing the STEP EIKEN test, an English proficiency test from Japan, on a pilot basis for international student admissions. At the same time, KCC is conducting a unique study of the test's screening effectiveness as compared to other English proficiency tests currently recognized by American colleges and universities.
This KCC study is the first extensive comparative analysis of the test outside of Japan, and KCC is leading the way for further study and expansion of the test's use at other institutions in Hawaiʻi and across the country. Early findings suggest the EIKEN test has a good correlation with the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which is used by a majority of American colleges and universities in screening international admissions.
EIKEN is developed in Japan by the Society for Testing English Proficiency (STEP), an incorporated nonprofit foundation established with the support of the Japanese Ministry of Education. It is widely used and recognized throughout Japan to serve as an official measure for English proficiency for graduating high school seniors.
"International students add diversity to our campus, bringing different perspectives and exposing our local students to different cultures," said KCC Acting Chancellor Leon Richards. "Kapiʻolani Community College, along with all of the university's community college campuses, is committed to its mission of providing access to education, which includes broadening access for international students, and we recognized that the frequency and cost of English proficiency testing are some of the major barriers to education in the United States for international students."
Compared to the TOEFL and other English proficiency tests utilized in admissions screening, the EIKEN test is much more accessible and affordable for international students, primarily in Asia and especially in Japan. There are only 10 TOEFL testing sites in Japan, and even less in Korea, China, and other Asian countries. There are more than 14,000 test sites for the EIKEN throughout Japan.
EIKEN is offered at seven levels—Grade 1 (advanced), Pre-1, 2, Pre-2, 3, 4, and 5 (beginner)—and it is administered in two stages. The first stage consists of four main testing areas—vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and writing. The second stage, required of those examinees passing the first stage (except for Grades 4 and 5), is a speaking test in the form of a personal interview.
KCC began the study and admission of Japanese students based on the EIKEN test in 2004. Three pilot tests have been conducted so far, with the first two tests using small groups of KCC students and the last test utilizing a large sample group including students from KCC as well as Honolulu and Maui Community Colleges, the Hawaiʻi English Language Program (HELP) and New Intensive Courses in English (NICE) program at UH Mānoa, and other Hawaiʻi universities including Hawaiʻi Pacific University, TransPacific Hawaiʻi College, and International Communication College.
Though results are still being compiled and analyzed, early findings suggest that there is a good correlation between student results from the EIKEN and the TOEFL, and there is potential for expanding the use of the EIKEN test for all international admissions.

From the series: Developing Wind Power Systems Using MATLAB and Simulink
Steve Miller, MathWorks
Engineers designing yaw and pitch actuators for wind turbines need to take into account many of the other components in the overall system to produce an optimized design. Selecting a technology requires doing tradeoff studies in early stages to determine which will provide enough force or torque while drawing the least power. The actuator must be developed together with the control systems, and there may be multiple control systems that must interact with the actuation system. For the development process to be efficient, engineers must have the ability to determine which details will be included in the simulation and which will be neglected. The models that they produce must be realistic and reusable.
The model of a complete wind turbine (including mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems) will be used to show:
• How to use simulation to determine detailed, up-to-date requirements based on the overall system design
• How to develop electrical and hydraulic actuation systems based on those requirements
• How to define custom, reusable components using the Simscape language
• How to use optimization algorithms and measurement data to automatically determine realistic parameter values
These points will be illustrated with demonstrations using the model and the simulation software. Experience with MATLAB and Simulink is helpful, but not required to learn from this webinar.
You can download the model used in this webinar from MATLAB Central.
Recorded: 18 May 2009

mpridham brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 84 Designs von 24 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I am looking to rebuild and rebrand my website - http://www.pridhamconsulting.com - and am looking for a new logo
Pridham Consulting
I am looking to rebuild and rebrand my website - http://www.pridhamconsulting.com - and am looking for a new logo.
The logo should portray professionalism, trust and experience - vague terms I know, but I have seen what you folks can do, and I am confidant that you can design something that portrays this.. I am not necessarily looking for a web 2.0 look, but am not opposed it.
The logo should read: "Pridham Consulting - Internet Marketing Specialist". Feel free to play with the letters P and C, but don;t feel you need to. I am counting on your creative thought processes to show me what you can do.
I am playing withe the tag-line: "Making your website work for you" , but please do not feel obliged to add this to the logo. It will likely reside somewhere near the logo but does necessarily need to be part of it.
The main purpose of the website will be to increase clients' website ROI, increasing their websites usability, and to increase their conversion rates. Basically. my role as a consultant will be to make their website work better for them and put more money in their pockets.
I would like the logo to have a graphic element to it - what that element is, well, I'll leave that up to your creative minds.
I'll admit at the forefront that I do not have a clear idea of how I want the logo to look and I do not have a colour scheme in mind at this time, However, once the submissions come in, I do promise that I will comments on every submission and will certainly let you know what my likes and dislikes are. Hopefully the comments will guide the designers as the contest moves forward.
The image should be in vector format for both web and print
- The logo should include "Pridham Consulting - Internet Marketing Specialist"
- Vector Format
- White Background

A Literary Bucket List
We are in what I consider the sweet spot: old enough to have gained a touch of wisdom and perspective, but still young enough to pretty much do what we want (with a bit of Advil.)
The world is still basically our oyster.
And yet, my time on this planet does not seem as infinite to me as it did in my 20s. "One day I'll try that" is more and more becoming "Do it NOW."
One night at dinner, we got to discussing Bucket Lists. I've always liked the idea of one, not so much for the "before you die" part as the "identifying what you REALLY want to do" part. Our houseguest, in fact, has already started writing stuff down.
I haven't put mine down on paper, yet, though I have a few items in my head. One is a dream I've had ever since I was a kid—to go to Holland in the middle of winter and skate and skate and skate down miles of canals. That's do-able, for sure. Another is to go to Las Vegas at night with all the neon lights lit up in crazy colors. That's so do-able I'm kinda surprised I haven't done it yet. Another was, as an adult, to sing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus in a full choir (something I hadn't done since high school choir class). That one I actually did, a few years back—in one of those holiday community sing-alongs—and discovered that while I used to be an alto, I am now a tenor.
Coincidentally enough, at the same time we had our lovely houseguest, I noticed in the newspaper that coming to Portland, OR, where I live, was Mark Twain himself!!
OK, not quite, but the next best thing: Hal Holbrook's show, "Mark Twain Tonight!"
If you're not familiar with the show: the wonderful actor Hal Holbrook (who among other roles played the shadowy figure "Deep Throat" in the movie, "All the President's Men") has been portraying Mark Twain for years in an old-timey stage show where he imparts, with impeccable timing, Twain's wisdom and signature wit. (Check out this wonderful clip.)
The first thing I thought when I read the newspaper announcement was, "I've always wanted to see that." The second thought was, "Do it NOW."
I have a particular connection to Mark Twain as I spent over a year in his fine company while working on The Extraordinary Mark Twain (According to Susy.)
And so, I bought a ticket. The show was wonderful, and Mr. Holbrook brought such warmth, humor, and scholarship to the role that it did feel like I was seeing Mark Twain himself.
Seeing "Mark Twain Tonight!" made me realize that in addition to my regular Bucket List, I must have the yen to create a literary one.
And why not?
So now, it's got me thinking: What other literary experiences do I want? And when I can I start doing them?
The correct answer is: NOW.

I love these lists. I've accomplished two out of three on my list: sung in an opera, sung Beatles songs on stage with a rock and roll band. Still to do: perform in a Shakespeare play. My literary bucket would have to be infinitely expandable!

Thanks, Barbara. I have a lot less time than you before I kick the bucket. I've pretty much seized the day my whole life and had many improbable adventures from snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, to gorilla trekking in Uganda, to having extraordinary musical events with professionals in my own home. Right now, the biggest and only item on my list is to make iNK Think Tank into a viable business so that we authors have more $$ to fulfill our own bucket lists.

I sing a good deal around the house (mostly rock 'n roll, but I toss in some really old tunes that I learned from pumping our player piano when I was really young). Both sons (both annoyingly talented musically) suggested somewhat polietly that I not sing out loud. The nerve! But I do want to hear some great live musical performances (classical, rock, folk and rap)and I want to revisit several books that really influenced me (from familiar items to some light-weight but fun historical fiction mysteries). I was thinking the other day that the moment we're born, the grim reaper is trailing after us and sooner or later he'll/she'll tape us on the shoulder. Time to make up that list and tick a few items off.

I have a bucket list and am pleased to actually work on it but never thought of a literary bucket list. This really intrigues me. I know i like to visit different authors homes and hear their stories. I think I will join you and ponder this type of list. Maybe even create a board on Pinterest about it. Now that is an idea. Thanks for making me think today! enjoyed this post

Oh how I love a list! Therapeutic when you have undone tasks swarming your consciousness - line 'em up single file and they're not so daunting. Inspiring when you're pondering unexperienced pleasures, when - tick - your mortality - tock- is no longer -tick - a fairy tale- tock. But a list of literary experiences awaiting? Oh baybee!
Seeing & hearing Hal Holbrook as Mr. Twain. Check.And happy I am for you, Barbara, that you seized the opportunity.
Walking about in Laura Ingalls Wilder's house, seeing the desk where she wrote her books; gazing upon her Pa's fiddle. Check.
Visiting Washington Irving's home, Sunnyside. Check. [Highly recommended.]
Shaking my favorite author's hand. Check.
Seeing Jane Austen's home? I don't care if I never do that.
Writing the book that will really count for something. TBD

High on my literary bucket list is seeing all of Shakespeare's play on stage. (Movies don't count.) I've got twelve to go, and hope to shorten the list during my present sojourn in London. Trouble is, most are the plays rarely performed.

Davidlye necesitaba un nuevo diseño de banner publicitario y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 15 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
We offer a car buying service to individuals in Australia. Our selling point is that we use our buying power and connections to get them a good deal and save them all the running around the car dealers.
These ads will point to our lead generation websites which we aren't trying to 'brand' so no existing brand will need to be carried to the ad.
If you are interested,m the parent company that will look after the customer once they have made an enquiry is here http://www.privatefleet.com.au
Our target audience is anybody who might be looking to buy a car. We plan on doing some advertising on car related forums. Like the toyota owner's club etc.
Three unique banner ads:
one 468 x 60
one 125 x 125
one 120 x 600
***we onl;y require one banner to choose a winner***
The ad's need to tempt potential new car buyers to click through. The obvous themes/concepts that you *could* use (in order of importance)would be:
convenience/saving time
In general we are looking for very clean crisp ads. Not complex but smart and modern looking.
Now here's the interesting bit...
We actually have a bunch of standalone websites we want to promote. These are like toyotadiscounts.com.au, volkswagendiscounts.com.au etc etc.
This is great because it means by promoting the domain name in the ad, you are also describing the product. So it makes sense to mention the domain 'ToyotaDiscounts.com.au' prominently in the ad.
I personally like the question and answer approach too. eg 'Buying a New Toyota?', 'Save $1,000's!' but that is up to you.
Now the last thing is I need whatever design we decide on to be replicated for 10 other URLs to effectively create 30 new ads. So we'd also have a bunch of ads for http://www.mazdadiscounts.com.au, http://www.audidiscounts.com.au etc.
The design, imagery and animation will remain the same but for each new set of ads, you would need to replace:
1) any working of 'Toyota' in the ad
2) the mention of the domain in the ad - 'ToyotaDiscounts.com.au
3) the target URL.
Thanks very much - any questions please just ask.

Strike Suit Zero announced for PC and PSN
Developer DoubleSix reveals Strike Suit Zero, a space combat game with transforming spacecraft in development for PSN and PC.
Developer DoubleSix is currently in the home stretch finishing up development on All Zombies Must Die!, but that hasn't stopped them from announcing yet another game they've got in the works, called Strike Suit Zero. In it, players will pilot (you guessed it!) Strike Suits, which are ostensibly heavily armored spacecrafts that can transform.
Featuring a branching mission structure, Strike Suit Zero has players defending a future Earth from total annihilation. Mechanical Design engineer Junji Okubo (Steel Battalion) is lending his talents to the game's vehicle design, and the game will also include music composed by the award-winning Paul Ruskay (Homeworld).
A teaser trailer and three screenshots accompany the announcement, though surprisingly, they don't seem to reveal much at all about the Strike Suits' transformative abilities.
Perhaps we'll get to see more on that front when more details about Strike Suit Zero are spilled at Gamescom 2011. We'll be sure to keep an eye out.
Jeff Mattas posted a new article, Strike Suit Zero announced for PC and PSN.

Up for a bike ride? How about a really long bike ride?
If so, you might want to check out circumnavigating the Chesapeake Bay, like this group of cyclists did recently. The trip, as outlined in this pilotonline.com article, took them to 13 lighthouses, four ferry boats, across two bridges that didn't allow cyclists, on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and in many a small town. Crab cakes were a common fuel (yum!).
The group made a "clockwise circle around the bay, traveling west and north initially, through Surry and Jamestown and Gloucester, before reaching Maryland. They crossed the Bay Bridge and headed south down the Eastern Shore, stopping at their lone hotel in St. Michaels before camping on the beaches of Assateague and Chincoteague. They ended the trek at Cape Henry and the Fort Story Lighthouse in Virginia Beach.

To survive or to live. It is a choice really. Most of us survive; knowingly or unknowingly. Living is a different ball game altogether. It requires fight. Funny isn't it? I always thought survival involves a fight. Sri Charan could have continued working for Sony and had a regular life; a mechanical life. But 'purpose' had to interfere. He decided to take a break from work and concentrate on bringing together his passion and his duty towards the society. He birthed Clean Slate Foundation which makes films based on the stories of the under privileged children. With the help of Sony and Myrtle (another NGO dedicated to the grooming of the under privileged children), he organised tree plantation in the village of Attrambakkam, 20 kms inside a place called Thiruvallur in Chennai. Irula, a tamil and telugu speaking community was fortunate enough to be the recipient of the awareness and importance of trees and a clean environment.
The nursery on the Thiruvallur to Atrambakkam road from where a lemon plant was bought.
Sri Charan and Myrtle's Project Co-ordinator Mr.Williams address to the curious Irula children of Attrambakkam
Corporate companies such as TCS (the group of 4 men, standing at the back) have made it mandatory for their employees to be involved in some form of social activity. They too were present for the planting of trees.
When Sri Charan spoke to them about wanting some actors from the group, he was told that he himself looked like one.
Most of them seemed lost.
Mr.Williams expressed that a handful of them were not willing to go to school. They were questioned about their favourite subjects and why some of them missed school.
The kids explore the car as we get ready to go to a nearby hotel to order some food for them
All the kids were asked to look their best for the final group photo. They were taught to sit in a disciplined manner to have lunch.
What are kids without curiosity!
The egg biriyani bundles had arrived. None of them had washed their hands before sitting down to eat. They were made to form lines and wash hands with a soap before picking up their parcel from the bag. Quite a bunch of patient kids they were.
Some of them who couldn't finish their share were asked to share them with their family members.
Theirs is a community living. The adults take turns in raising each other's children for a stipulated period of time. The way all the domestic animals co-exist is a sight to watch a thing to learn.
Mr.Gabriel, the Project Director of Myrtle, entertained the kids with stories, morals and tamizh rhymes
The kids use a plastic bottle as a ball to play catch and throw.
The spot for the tree planting is getting ready. The women got the manure ready even without asking for it.
This kid was the most hyper one amongst the group. A very delightful one!
The much awaited group photo with all of them cracking up at the count of 3.
The children reacting to their own group photo in the camera.
Sri Charan and the kids inaugurated the tree planting initiation by planting the lemon tree.
The ecstatic kids waved us goodbye with loud cheers.
Attrambakkam is still untouched with infrastructural interference. Its frightening to predict that this sight would be replaced by concrete structures in no time.
This Krishna temple was a pleasant surprise we stumbled upon on our way back from the village. We witnessed a rich sunset as we drove away with the memories of the village.

As you all know, I'm planning on writing an entirely new game engine from the ground up (which in due course will be incorporated into Beach Cricket 2006 and possibly used for the CWXI as weel) so right now I'm looking at people's ideas for what needs including in a cricket simulator.
At present, I'm thinking:
Players' Heights
Bowling Type
Bowling Speed
Bowling Accuracy
Bowling Movement/Spin
Bowling Lines
Bowling Lengths
Batting Foot Preference
Batting Side Preference
Batting Shot Power
Batting Timing
Pitch - Pace, Movement, Spin
Field Placements (not to the nth degree as I do not have the ability/time)
The bowling and batting attributes will determine the abilities of players rather than their averages.
Obviously with sensible bowling changes and movable batting orders and properly paced run-scoring.
Please add to the list...

>Just a few more days left in the SurvivalBlog special sale on Interceptor Body Armor, a $500 special price for full mil-spec Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) vests. That is 32% off their regular price, and below wholesale.
Think about needing one of these rigs (especially with the rifle plate) in the future and not being able to get one for any price.
Makes those five Benjamins look pretty puny, eh?
Get in touch with BulletProof ME while the offer still holds (through July 12, 2007).

Stop me if you've heard this one before, because I haven't.
The Mog music subscription service updated its iPhone app on Monday, introducing a strange new "experimental/beta" feature called Moggles, which lets you take a picture of an album in order to load it in the Mog app for playback, downloading, and so on.
Basically, it's a way to rip an entire CD to your Mog account in a few seconds.
Out record shopping? Moggle the album and it's yours. Are you finally ready to sell your CD collection, assuming you can find anyone who still wants to buy it? If you're a Mog subscriber ($10/month for the mobile app), you now have a nifty way to port all that plastic into the cloud.
As Mog admits with a warning within the app that says "may produce inaccurate or hilarious results," this feature is still experimental, and a quick test of promo CDs that have arrived at my office over the years revealed that it's not yet perfect.
Admirably, the Mog app's Moggles feature identified my promo version of Dear Science as being by TV on the Radio — even though the promo version's album cover differs from that of the released version. However, we ended up with the wrong "TV" on the wrong "Radio" (see screenshot to the right).
Moggles also yielded no match for a Conor Oberst solo record (Gentleman's Pact) that also arrived on my desk one day, but when we tried Herman Dune's Next Year in Zion, we witnessed the true magic of Moggles.
One quick snapshot with the Mog app's Moggles feature, and there it was, on our iPhone, ready to be added to our play queue or favorites, or downloaded onto our phone.
Yes, in mere seconds, we had ripped a CD with an iPhone camera, stored it in our cloud music account on Mog, and commenced it downloading to our iPhone.
In addition to Moggles, the new Mog iPhone app adds support for the service's 320 Kbps music files, so now you can stream the highest-quality MP3s directly to your nice sounding home stereo speakers via the app's Apple AirPlay support.

Found in boxes in the remaining inventory of the library of late NSS Fellow Warren G. Dixon are several copies of the Tennessee Cave Survey Narrative Cave Files, Marion Co. TN, bound in office folders. 71 pages. Contains the official complete narrative descriptions, elevation, and exact coordinates of every known cave which had been reported up to that time in Marion County, Tennessee, including numerous caves submitted by Moni, Barr, Matthews, Smith, Buice, Lane, Smyre and many others. Includes primary reports of amazing classics such as Cagle Chasm, Gourdneck Cave, South Pittsburg Pit, Solution Rift, Nickajack Cave, The Sinkhole, and approximately 350 other caves and pits. These copies are in excellent condition, but have a cloudy spot/stain on the first 3-4 pages apparently from the original printing which does not effect readability.
It was Warren's wishes that his library materials regarding caves be distributed to fellow cavers. Due to the nature of this publication, they will only be made available to current NSS members (Trust me, I will check!)
$25 each, basically to cover my time and expense of going to the post office. PM me if you want one.
NOTICE: OFFER WITHDRAWN; See posts below.

Dean Van Galen is the 18th chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
Van Galen is creating a culture rich with innovation and growth. When taking over the role, Van Galen announced UW-River Falls would open a learning center in Hudson to meet the undergraduate and graduate educational needs of adults. This facility, named the UW-River Falls Hudson Center, opened in fall 2010 and now has an annual enrollment of more than 100 students.
In April 2014 the Center for Innovation and Business Development (CIBD) was opened to support economic growth and development in the greater St. Croix Valley. The CIBD will play an integral role in management of the new St. Croix Valley Business Incubator, set to open in River Falls in 2017.
University officials unveiled the first-ever comprehensive fundraising campaign, Rising to Distinction, in April 2012, setting a goal of raising $20 million in five years, with an emphasis on raising funds for student scholarships and the Falcon Center health and human performance facility. As of January 2016, six months ahead of schedule, the $20 million goal had already been surpassed.
A Wisconsin native, Van Galen shares a family story similar to many UW-River Falls students, being a first-generation college student. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 1982. He holds a doctorate in analytical chemistry from Kansas State University and conducted post-doctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley.
Van Galen began his academic career in 1987 as a chemistry professor at Truman State University in Missouri, developing an environmental science study abroad course in Norway. He was named the university's 1988-1989 Educator of the Year and the State of Missouri's CASE Professor of the Year for 1991. He later served as vice president for university advancement at Truman and was an American Council on Education Fellow in 1994-1995. Prior to his selection as chancellor, Van Galen served as vice president for university advancement at the University of West Florida in Pensacola for six years.
Van Galen and his wife, Mary, have one adult daughter, Ashley.

Chelsy Davy Gossip
Chelsy Davy gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Did Chelsy hug Meghan?
ODD ANDERSEN/ CHRIS RADBURN/ Max Mumby/ Samir Hussein/ Chris Jackson/ WPA POOL/ Getty Images
Big events like the Oscars and royal weddings wouldn't be the same without Twitter. I almost can't enjoy an event anymore without watching live and following on Twitter. Someone out there is angsting about how this means we – or just I – can't live in the present anymore and what a sad thing it is that we are no longer capable of doing one thing at a time and what this means for the children. Full Story
Harry and his Camilla back together?
Shaun Botterill/ Dave Hogan/ AFP/ Samir Hussein/ Anwar Hussein/ Getty Images
I've always said that Chelsy Davy just might be Prince Harry's Camilla: the one he can never forget. Their last breakup was right after Will and Kate's wedding in 2011. It's the longest stretch of time that they've been apart, having had an on-off situation for 7 years. Full Story
Hot Harry's Australian proposal
Pepito/ Splash News, Chris Jackson/ Don Arnold / Pool/ Getty Images
Just to be clear, he was proposed to. He didn't propose. Prince Harry met with the public today in Sydney at the end of his secondment with the Australian army. At one point, a 21 year old woman with a MARRY ME sign clutched onto him and managed to get off a kiss. But it wasn't just the young ladies who went into Harry hysteria. Full Story
Chelsy "blitzed" Harry
Mirrorpix/ Splash, CARL COURT/ Getty
That phone-hacking trial that's still going on in England -- it was revealed this week that Prince Harry's phone activity was being monitored back in 2005 when he was dating Chelsy Davy. Harry was training at Sandhurst at the time and wasn't allowed to check his mobile until he was off duty. Full Story
Holiday party without Harry
James Whatling/ Splash
Prince Harry is trekking to the South Pole. In his absence, his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend showed up at the same party last night in London. Both Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas attended the Henry Van Straubenzee Christmas Carol Service. Check the difference in their expressions. Full Story
Hot Harry's wedding love triangle
Wenn, Danny E. Martindale/ Getty
I posted a preview on Lady Melissa Percy and Thomas Van BeeZee's wedding on Friday – click here for a refresher. As mentioned, Hot Harry was there to support his best friend. And his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy was there to support her best friend, Missy Percy. Full Story
Love Triangle at the Blue Blood English wedding
Wenn, WPA Pool/ Getty
Prince Harry's best friend Thomas Van BeeZee is marrying Lady Melissa Percy tomorrow in a castle, obviously, in Northumberland. Because her father is the Duke of Northumberland. It's one of the Duke's THREE castles, along with holdings all over other parts of England. Will and Hot Harry were at Van BeeZee's stag a couple of weeks ago. Full Story
The Lonely Prince
Having already seen the BBC's The Diamond Queen, Katie Couric's royal special was actually kinda meh. What else is Will to say when asked about his mother? That Diana would not have wanted to meet Kate? He's to be king one day. Of course he wants to have children. Does he have a choice? More interesting, always, is what happens with Hot Harry. Full Story
Hot Harry goes to Washington... in a tux!
Paul Morigi/Getty
Hot Harry was in Washington yesterday to receive an award in recognition of his work with wounded servicemen. He was surrounded by military men. He seemed very comfortable. And he looked perfect in his tux. And he may or may not be bootycalling Chelsy Davy. UK gossips say the two are sneaking around again but not "officially" back together. Full Story
Remembering Chelsy Davy at The Wedding
Wenn, Jasper Juinen/Getty
Chelsy is everything that Kate Middleton isn't. Kate is rigid, disciplined, pragmatic, and succeeded in achieving one singular goal. Chelsy Davy...Knows how to have a good time. Prioritises having a good time. And sometimes suffers for having a good time. The way she looked at the Royal Wedding, it looked like she'd been having a very good time, perhaps for several days, leading up to the event. Full Story
Hot Harry's Chelsy + Sienna
Wenn, Gareth Cattermole/Getty
The British papers are all over Hot Harry's new romance with Mollie King today. She's a member of the UK girl pop group The Saturdays. (They do a great job over there building their own Star System, don't they? We need to get on this in Canada.) Apparently Harry and Mollie have known each other a couple of years and as soon as she broke up with her boyfriend, wily Harry moved in on it. Full Story

Why online multiplayer video games suck (High Scores from The Cannabist)
I have a shameful confession: I hate online multiplayer video games.
I know, it's ridiculous. Any real gamer should embrace them. It's practically the point of having a gaming profile. And so many games these days — especially first-person shooters and sandbox titles, from Grand Theft Auto V to Call of Duty or Titanfall — are built on this functionality. It's the future of gaming! At least that's what we're constantly told.
But in addition to being annoyed by griefers (or people who stalk and kill your character just because they're bored/want to irritate you/build their own stats) I feel a palpable fear when I'm confronted with random players trying to ruin my experience.
And, not so shockingly, a lot of it has to do with marijuana.

There are many ways you can wind down after a long hard week. Here are a few suggestions that will help you sit back and have a ton of fun very easily, without spending loads of money. Everyone is different, so there may not be anything on this list that will hep you.
A few individuals take up swimming as an alternative to kill time while others play some musical instrument.
There are so many different hobbies and pastimes that you can undertake. Your pastime ought to be an easy to get into otherwise you aren't likely to stick at them. One of the biggest pastimes that people undertake is reading books. Reading is probably one of the most popular past times and it is easily accessible and loved by millions throughout the word. Reading can build up a feeling of warmth and engagement in what is being read, a good book can almost feel like a best friend. There is a whole range of emotions that you go through whilst reading a book. Sadness, joy, excitement, anticipation, euphoria, it's all there in abundance.
In addition to the fact that it is so engaging, you can learn such a great amount of knowledge from non fiction books, I have heard of people advancing their career with no formal qualifications, just the knowledge they gained from boos.
Of course it's not just books that provide such enjoyment magazines, books, blogs and short stories are just some of the many different ways you can learn. In most recent times we have seen the emergence of digital ebooks. The biggest issue with digital ebooks before ereaders came along was the brightness of the screen. These ereaders have special screens that generate their text using something called eink. Combine that with a backlight and the enjoyment of reading books is all the more pleasurable at night time. If you are interested in finding out more about ereaders, take a look at this Amazon Kindle ereader comparison. Here you will find all you need to know about digital ereaders.
These little handheld small-scale PCs, have transformed the way we read books. Over the last few years, in the same way mobile phones have evolved so much, so have ereaders, getting better year on year. Ereaders are getting smaller so as well as being amazingly convenient and ultra portable They have great batteries and a screen size that means they are smaller than physical books.
The screens on these gadgets are what set them apart. Although I do love physical books, the sheer convenience of an ereader means other than my mobile phone, the ereader is up their as one of my favourite gadgets. It is also super easy to buy books through the Amazon Kindle books store. There are thousands if not millions of books, magazines to downloads instantly.

Reflection allows you to simultaneously display multiple iDevices at once on the computer screen. Any of those displays can be re-sized with the mouse. This will make a perfect opportunity for a teacher to allow students to share their creations with the class.
However, it is recommended that the teacher create a password for connection, to ward off any unwanted guests reflecting their own device from somewhere on the network.
If the teacher has Inspire or Notebook, you can use your pen annotate tool to write on top of an iPad screen enabling a more visual explanation.
Use a Snip-it tool, or a camera tool, to take screen shots of the iPad and embed them in documents, posts, wherever.
Price is reasonable. And as always, be sure to work with your IT person and have them assist you with technical difficulties, as there can be a couple of settings to alter depending on your network. In particular you need to enable multi-casting on the WAN, and be sure the firewall settings are not blocked for the software.
