Originally posted in the Vacaville Reporter: It's no great secret that the way we Americans eat is killing us. According to the Center for Disease Control, 35% of adults 21 years of age and older were obese in 2012. The percentage of adults who are overweight (which includes those who are obese) was 69%. The frightening fact is that even our children are obese, with 12% to 18% classified as obese depending on their age. Diabetes is also a significant problem nationwide with over $28 billion being spent on diabetes treatment in California in 2012.
These problems are caused by the diets we eat. Fast food, huge portions and enormous amounts of sugar lead to obesity and diabetes. If we want to address these health issues, people will need to change the way they eat. How to do this is a complicated question. There are those who would like to mandate what people eat. Some people want to begin with individuals who receive CalFresh (food stamp) benefits. New York City tried to ban the use of these funds to buy high-sugar drinks, but ran into resistance from soda manufacturers and some civil libertarians. The New York City plan to control what food recipients purchase was overruled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Instead of mandating what people can or cannot eat, public health advocates want to generate change by making healthy food more economical and attractive. Along with programs that distribute fresh produce, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano provides access to recipes and a nutrition educator. We are also able to distribute coupons to the low-income individuals we serve so they can purchase fresh produce at farmers markets. The California Market Match Consortium was created to distribute funds obtained from the California Department of Food and Agriculture and private donors. We let the people we are helping enroll in the CalFresh program know that they can obtain Market Match coupons to use at the farmers markets. As a bonus, people receive $5 worth of bonus scrip for every $10 they spend at the farmers market. This program can grow through a $100 million allocation in the 2014 federal Farm Bill and a $2.75 million per year (for five years) Market Match Nutrition Incentive fund included in a California Assembly bill.
The Food Bank also distributes farmers market coupons to low-income senior citizens through our Senior Food Program. Funds from the California Department of Food and Agriculture provide us with $20 booklets of coupons that seniors can use at their local farmers market. Over 1600 of these coupon books go to the Senior Food program participants, helping them obtain healthy produce on a continuing basis. The Food Bank sees its responsibility as helping those who want to change what they eat. We will distribute over ten million pounds of fresh produce this year. Providing farmers markets coupons and giving people fresh produce also allows healthy change to take place. People want to eat well and they want to be healthy. The Food Bank wants to make that possible for the people we serve.

I used to do a "Things I Love Thursday", except I guess I called it ohJoy…and it wasn't usually on a thursday.
It was just a list of things I loved about life, when things were really bringing me down. Unfortunetly, it would take me so much time to think up enough things to love about life, that it was a rarely done.
This year, I'm going to try to make a goal of just being able to write down and take photos of more positive things, more often.
Heres a list of things I've loved about 2011, thus far.
fish cakes in my ramen
letting my hair grow
waking up next to a cuddly dog
real friends who dress like imaginary friends
having my hair done on an otherwise average day.
fresh challah bread from the bakery to make french toast (with nutella)
bubbles in my coffee
finding interior in inspiration in unlikely places. (my future bathroom will soon look like the locker room from Shutter Island)
food wrapped like presents.
weekly family dinner nights
Seeing this guy who is obviously from the abortion ad on the train, stand around with his girlfriend, uncomfortably.
having the first meal of the new year, with some of my favorite people.
This song because it's beautiful.
"He always sounded like he was drinking champagne on a train and wise to the ways of the world."
-Tom Waits talking about Teddy Edwards. (Also beautiful.)
other honorable mentions:
- strangers saying "happy new year" in passing, all over New York
- snowball fights
- when friends from different parts of my life, end up becoming friends
- extra olives in martinis
- japanese eraser toys
- Putting Annie Hall on repeat while I'm sick in bed. I'll pass out and wake up to something that makes me smile, no matter what part of the movie is playing.
- being reminded that I'm missed
- Pushing Daisies or any program that involves narrative story telling, for that matter. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events, ect…

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (CNN) - Mitt Romney promised Thursday to win Pennsylvania in November, even as he lowered expectations for a victory here in the Republican primary later this month.
"As you know I want to win Pennsylvania in November," Romney said at a small rally held on the roof of a downtown Harrisburg office building. "I'm going to win Pennsylvania in November."
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
As Romney put it, "the reason that's going to happen, by the way, is that the people of Pennsylvania have taken a good look at conservative leadership. They've seen your senator, Pat Toomey, they've seen your governor, they've seen that conservative leaders are the people who will help grow the middle class."
Toomey, a leading conservative voice in the Senate, has voiced support for Romney's presidential bid, while Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has remained neutral in the race.
Pennsylvania hasn't voted Republican in a presidential election since 1988, but he expressed confidence that he could pick up the state's 20 electoral votes this fall.
"The people of Pennsylvania, on Nov. 6, I believe will vote for me and give me the support I need to become the next president of the United States," he said.
During a visit to a campaign phone bank before the speech, Romney called the state "critical" to his White House chances.
As for the more pressing matter – the April 24 Republican primary showdown against Rick Santorum – Romney was careful not to overstate his chances.
Clearly lowering expectations even though polls show him gaining on Santorum in the former senator's home state Romney said "everybody expects someone to win their home state."
"Newt Gingrich won his state, I won my state, I think people expect the senator to win his home state," he said. "But I'll pick up a lot of delegates, and we have several other states with contests the same day - I hope to win all of those, and if I can win the others and pick up some delegates here, it will give me an even stronger lead."
very nasty idiot. Watch him in youtube, When mitt romney came to town. enjoy.....he wants to ban SS and Medicare, repeal health care, etc, This election is Rich v/s Middle Class America. Wake up, drive all the rethuglicans out in Nov. Good luck, America.
I hope he gets the nomination. i believe Obama will mop the floor with him. He deserves to lose badly.
I, Mitt Romney, predict, when elected President, that I will have a room full of brief cases stuffed with cash!
You shipped jobs, Bain-Capital...today Job Report says, 8.2%. It is gradually getting better, manufacturing is coming home...Nasty idiots of GOP. I never support in my life....thugs of this nation are Republicans. once we drive these animals out, evil goes out from USA. Obama2012.
Mitt Romney will be lucky to win any state.
Sure, because Mitt and the GOP is so supportive of union members, women, and immigrants. Ha. I realize Mittens has the rich, old, fat, white guy vote sewn up but that's about it.
Also from PA and I can tell you that Romney is not big on the winner list here. Of course we wouldn't vote for that crook Santorum either. But then frankly, the republicans here are sick of their own party and Pennsylvanians are a no-nonsense people. They'll vote for Obama.
Tomorrow Romney will tell us that he never said he would win Penn. in Nov. & that as a "severe conservative" he has always opposed winning Penn. in November. And no one in the media will say a word...
"They've seen your senator, Pat Toomey, they've seen your governor, they've seen that conservative leaders are the people who will help grow the middle class." Where is he getting his info? Corbett is hurting the middle class
Why do Democrats and liberals attempt to recall the past in every post?
To prevent conservatives from rewriting it and trying to blame democrats for the failed policies of the Bush administration. To listen to people like "Another Day" you'd never know that Obama came into office with an economy shrinking 7% per quarter, shedding 750k jobs a month, and on the verge of a Second Great Depression. You'd never know that Bush took record surpluses and instead doubled the national debt, or that his tax cuts are the main reason for the deficit tea partiers love to whine about today. In short, you would believe that freedom is slavery, 2 + 2 =5, and Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it–something conservatives like "Another Day" prove to us over and over again...
Keep on shaking that Etch-a-Sketch folks. We know what you drew on it the last time...
We will see, Romney and his socialist Republicans party are only fighting for the rich they don't care a dan about the poor so wake up America. " OBAMA / Biden 2012 all the way"
How dumb so people have to be to always blame Obama for everything that has gone wrong. The crisis started in America before he took office and the Republicans are to blame. If Romney is such a good guy then he would have one the ticket already yet his own party do not trust him. Can Romney lower unemployment, YES. Romney is buddies with power people. Parttime jobs will go away and be replaced by fulltime jobs that pay part time wages. This is what Romney can do.
Obama will win because his party will attack Romney on past comments regarding middle and poor class. Romney on the other hand will have to deal with a Republican Party that does not trust him and his view for America.
Imagine if both parties got along and crushed the elite, you will have a better America.
I don't need Romney's promises his win in PA. I want to know how his plan to grow jobs for middle class and keep his promises, further, how he can stop the white collar jobs and high skill jobs shift to overseas, how he handle with the super rich people like him park their money overseas without paying tax.
I'm thinking establishment republicans have sent Mitt as their sacrificial lamb (will lose to President Obama) and are saving their "best" for the open run in 2016.
The republicans have been trying to get rid of Rmoney for years, but (like McCain) he's gonna have to lose a second time to get the message (more ego than brains)
Lord, I hope he doesn't win the Presidency. I am not voting for him – but, can't believe people would trust another GOP member to lead the country.
If Independents fall for this crap again as they did with Bush 1 and 2, then this country deserves what they have coming to them if they were to elect another GOP as their president! Also, I fear that this republicans will do what they did in Florida during the 2000 Elections and intimidate voters! I fear that they will go out of their way to get people not to vote, even if it means physical altercations or even someone being shot or something...cuz we all know how the right love their guns!
Romney has an ace in the hole. Even though he had to pander to the Tea Party Republicans to win the Republican nomination, everyone, including his Republican supporters, knows that he did not mean what he had said in the primary. Come on, we are talking about Romney here. He never means what he says.
Such a dumb, out of touch with middle class and poor, man. Obama will wipe up the floor with Mr. 1%. He flip flops more than a shoe store!!!!! Obama 2012!!!!
Mr. Mittens shouldn't tie his horse too tightly to Corbett and Toomey. Corbett would not be re-elected today (41% approval rating and falling fast). Toomey beat a weak Democrat by 76,000 votes in a year of GOP landslides. Besides, the Pennsylvania white men may be stupid, but the women aren't–and there are more of them.
The choice is simple. If you want to see what is happening in Greece right now, in our streets, then keep voting for the Democrat Socialist Party. If you want a future where this country is fiscally sound and creating jobs at the rate it should be, then vote Republican. THIS election will be your last chance because the country will most like not survive or be able to recover from another 4 years of Obama and the Democrat Socialist Party. Choose wisely America. Your childrens future depends on it.
Watch out for swing states that have Repub governors – I don't trust them for a minute to run a clean election Remember, it was the Repub Ohio guy (don't remember his position) but he promised Bush he would give him Ohio in 2004 and lo and behold it was Ohio that decided that election. Romney is a terrible candidate and will bring back all the old Bush regime which will put the final nail in our country's coffin, but MONEY and FAVORS will win this election. To all the Obama supporters, please be sure to VOTE!
I'm not as smart as many so I ask questions (maybe too many). If these politicians, which Romney is on of, have such great plans for the economy, why don't they just introduce them instead of POSSIBLY becoming president one day and POSSIBLY have such plans actually work? How many jobs, homes and lives will be lost between now and the time one of them "puts their plans in action? Instead of getting the Prez out of office, why doesn't Mitch McConnell help the candidates institute the "plans"? Ooops, duh on my part. That would help Obama. Can't have that. And why do we always forget that Mitt Romney destroyed livelihoods without remorse and want to have him lead our nation? On that note, why do not want to consider that he has no foreign policy experience to speak of, but generalizes threats to other countries all the time? Sorry. Too many questions again?
When Romney smiles it looks like he just pooped his pants and he wants mommy to wipe his butt. Just sayin.
"It's called Projection. Karl Rove started it for W a long time ago. Objective: Project your own weaknesses onto your opponent. (Notice Rmoney calling President Obama "Out of Touch" or "Flip-Flopper" or "Secretive". "
Exactly - Romney himself said last month in regards to something Santorum said about him, that it was what politicians do, they blame their opponent for things that they themselves do. He knows the game well so we'll be seeing much more of this type of talk from Romney.

Students in composition and theory combine private composition lessons with seminars in composition, analysis, orchestration, and related topics. The IonSound Project, the music department's ensemble-in-residence, gives a concert of works by graduate student composers each spring. Residencies by other professional new music ensembles, in conjunction with the department's new music series Music on the Edge, provide additional opportunities for the reading and recording of student works. The University of Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra also frequently performs students' works. Each year the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's Composer-of-the-Year chooses one local student work to be read by the Orchestra. Department of Music facilities include a well-equipped electroacoustic music studio, and professional quality live recordings are made during performances in Bellefield Hall Auditorium.
Because of the nature of the program, our student composers can also experiment with intercultural composition, incorporating non-Western instruments or musics. Most students also pursue interests in some facet of historical musicology or ethnomusicology, and some participate in our Western and non-Western performance organizations.
Each year, through the generosity of the Franz Lehár Endowment, we sponsor a composer-in-residence who works with graduate student composers and presents a lecture and concert of his or her works. Lehár Visiting Composers have included Milton Babbitt, Joan Tower, Louis Andriessen, Anthony Davis, Mario Davidovsky, Chen Yi, Zhou Long, Paul Moravec, David Del Tredici, David Felder, Daron Hagen, Betsy Jolas, and many others.
Composition and Theory Faculty
Composition and Theory faculty are widely performed and honored composers.
Eric Moe, composer and pianist, has received numerous grants and awards for his work, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Lakond Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His compositions have been commissioned and performed by some of the finest ensembles and performers of our time. All-Moe CDs are available on Naxos, Albany, bmop/sound, Koch International Classics, and Centaur. Fanfare magazine described his work as "wonderfully inventive, often joyful, occasionally melancholy, highly rhythmic, frequently irreverent, absolutely eclectic, and always high-octane music". As a pianist and keyboardist, Moe's playing can be heard on Koch, CRI, New World, Mode, Albany, and other labels. The Waltz Project Revisited - New Waltzes for Piano, his solo recording of waltzes by two generations of American composers, was released in 2004 by Albany Records to critical acclaim.
Mathew Rosenblum's works, which draw on diverse elements from classical, jazz, rock, and world music traditions, have been commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Fromm Foundation, Meet The Composer Commissioning Music/USA, and performed at the World Music Days in Oslo, the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, as well as in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City by ensembles including the New York New Music Ensemble, the Rascher Saxophone Quartet, Sequitur, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the Calmus Ensemble, and Opera Theater of Pittsburgh. His music has been released on the Mode, Albany, Capstone, Opus One, and CRI Emergency Music labels, and is published by C.F. Peters Corporation.
Amy Williams' recent awards include a 2008-2009 fellowship from the Howard Foundation and a 2009 Fromm Music Foundation Commission for a new piece for the JACK Quartet. Her works have been performed in Europe, Australia and the Americas by renowned soloists and ensembles, including the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, International Contemporary Ensemble, California E.A.R. Unit, Ensemble Aleph, Wet Ink Ensemble, Dinosaur Annex, Duo Diorama, and pianists Ursula Oppens and Amy Briggs. Her compositions appear on the Albany, Navona, New Ariel, and VDM (Italy) labels. She regularly performs at notable international contemporary music venues with the Bugallo-Williams Piano Duo, with which she has also recorded numerous CDs for the Wergo, Neos and Albany labels.

LOS ANGELES -- A lawsuit filed against LA Fitness by a photographer who claimed R&B singer Chris Brown's bodyguards harmed him has been settled.
The lawsuit filed by photographer Robert Rosen against LA Fitness and Brown was settled on Nov. 2, according to a document filed in the Superior Court of California—County of Los Angeles. A trial was scheduled to begin on Feb. 22, 2011. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Rosen had claimed that Brown's bodyguards assaulted him after he took photos of Brown playing basketball in LA Fitness' Universal City club in the spring of 2009. Rosen allegedly fell down a flight of stairs after the bodyguards chased him. Rosen claimed he was then assaulted by the bodyguards. The photographer also claimed that a club employee blocked him from leaving the facility.
The alleged incident took place about a month after Brown's arrest for assaulting his then girlfriend, Rihanna. Brown remains on probation for the attack.

PARK CITY, Utah For the first time, the Sundance Film Festival could do a boy-girl, boy-girl seating arrangement of directors in its U.S. dramatic competition and not run out of girls.
The festival has 50-50 parity eight women, eight men among the 16 films in the competition, a record that female filmmakers consider to be a hopeful sign they are making progress toward equal time with males.
It just feels like justice. Like, OK, this is the way its supposed to be. This reflects the population of the earth. Theres no reason why there shouldnt be as many women making movies as men, said Lynn Shelton, a Sundance regular whose film Touchy Feely, starring Rosemarie DeWitt as a massage therapist suddenly averse to touching people, is playing in the dramatic competition. But Im also waiting for the day when Im not treated as an oddity as a woman. Im just treated as another filmmaker.
Other dramatic entries directed by women include Liz W. Garcias The Lifeguard, starring Kristen Bell as a lifeguard who enters a risky relationship with a teen; Stacie Passons Concussion, a midlife-crisis tale starring Robin Weigert; Francesca Gregorinis Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes, with Jessica Biel and Kaya Scodelario in the story of a troubled teen; and Jerusha Hess Austenland, featuring Keri Russell as a woman searching for her own Jane Austen-style perfect man.
Sarah Polley has been coming to Sundance with short films and features since 2000 and has seen a steady rise in the presence of women.
I feel like theres been a seismic shift since I had my first short film at Sundance when I was 20 and now going back today at 34, said Polley, who returns this time with Stories We Tell, a documentary examining the secret life of her late mother and just who Polleys real father is. My first time at Sundance, I spent the whole time just trying to find other female filmmakers. Now you see theres been huge progress.
This years lineup is not an all-out celebration, though, as women continue to worry about career longevity and whether they can extend their gains in low-budget independent films to big-money Hollywood productions work that goes predominantly to men.
Equal time at Sundance today does not necessarily mean those women will have a smoother time finding backers for future films, said Cathy Schulman, president of Women in Film, which promotes work by female filmmakers.
One would hope that those women would go on to get agents and representation and be put up for jobs to lead to their next movie, Schulman said. My guess is it wont be that simple.
The Sundance lineup bears out that guess. Only three of 18 entries were directed by women in the festivals dramatic premieres section, which tend to feature higher-profile casts and more-established filmmakers. One of those is a six-hour TV series co-directed by Jane Campion, one of only four women ever nominated for best director at the Academy Awards, for 1993s The Piano.
Women have been doing well for years in Sundances short-film programs and documentary lineups. Like the U.S. dramatic competition, the U.S. documentary competition is an even split, with half of the 16 films directed or co-directed by women.
Yet the premiere section is a sign that women still are a long way from equal opportunity in higher-end independent filmmaking. And when it comes to studio films, only a handful of women have made steady inroads as directors.
Someone was joking with me, oh, youve had four films at Sundance. But is anybody going to hire me to do a Hollywood movie? said Lucy Walker, a documentary filmmaker whose dangers-of-snowboarding chronicle The Crash Reel premieres at the festival.
Walker has a dramatic film in the works and wonders about the prospects for her and other women in Hollywood, where movie budgets dwarf the shoestring financing with which indie directors often have to make do.
Who is going to be promoted to get the next film and get to have a full career and get paid? Walker said. This next generation of women, I really hope that a lot of them will be.

2006 Calendar issued by Melbourne Water with each month illustrated by a primary school child. The theme is "I Love Living Here" which promotes the protection of Melbourne's rivers and creeks.
The primary schools involved in the 2006 calendar project were: Carrum Downs, Chelsea Heights, Chelsea, Patterson Lakes, and Seaford North.
The calendar also promotes the Eastern Treatment Plant, and provides information about the work of Melbourne Water and the Western Treatment Plant.
Physical Description
A4 'Silk Matt Paper', deemed to be environmentally friendly, multicoloured printing, bound with two staples with a single punched hole to enable hanging. Calendar is printed in the 'vertical' mode.
These items were collected during the Water Smart Home project and document the developing strategies used by the Victorian Government, water authorities, private industries and communities in confronting the emerging water crisis from 1995 to 2007. It captures the increasing urgency to address the growing imbalance between water supply and demand. It demonstrates a shift in government strategy away from an investment in major infrastructure to a campaign focused on behaviour change methods to reduce water consumption and secure Melbourne's water future.
An interesting feature of this material is the focus on gardening. Prior to water restrictions, Melbourne households used up to 50% of potable water for gardening - a significant focus of the public education campaign was therefore directed to this popular cultural activity and offered many ways to preserve this activity within the limits of Melbourne's water supply.
The Smart Water Fund was set up as part of the 'Our Water Our Future' campaign to support innovative water conservation projects, including Museum Victoria's Water Smart Home project. This material was collected as part of the Water Smart Home project. It shows how the 'Our Water Our Future' campaign infiltrated households in Melbourne, and documents the broader community messages and education strategies.

Edit: The following represents my personal views. I am speaking in no official capacity as a member of the US team nor a member of the USBF.
Edit: The penalty was reduced at the discretion of the WBF Championship Committee.
You may have noticed that the SPAIN-USA match did not start on time on VG. Greco-Hampson started bidding the first deal but stopped a few bids into the auction. Bathurst-Lall never started the first board.
This is becausethe Spanish team (or some segment of it, they never identified exactly who was leveling the accusation) refused to sit against Bathurst-Lall, alleging that they have a concealed partnership agreement never to pass in third seat when nonvulnerable. They claim to have looked at 500 deals and Bathurst-Lall never passed in third seat, NV.They requested that we change the lineup and refused to play until we did.
We refused, of course, and SPAIN eventually decided to play, 33 minutes after the session start time. Some facts/opinions:

Many of the patterns are colorful, have gold or silver embellishments and distinguish themselves from the collections in the Ceremonial Table by their ability to compliment any interior design. they are less reflective of a decorative style, but offer a large range of pieces. These patterns are often popular bridal registry selections.

Bouncing back on the vintage fashion, Bernardaud has drawn from its archives rose motifs treated in the old-fashion way into a falsely disparate composition. On the table, a subtle balance is achieved in a variation of roses, stripes, and golden foliage alternating from one plate to another. This charming set is a nostalgic reminder of the French 1950s with its joyous family Sunday meals, with family and friends.
The stylized Garden of Eden depicted in this beautiful Prunus pattern comes from a XIVth century Chinese dish. Added delicate gold motifs bring an Art Deco touch to the entire service. The collection offers a bucolic stroll.
Praiana draws its inspiration from the Art Nouveau style; multiform and international, this movement is that of curves and arabesques. Freely inspired by nature, also privileging the theme of woman, it is a pure product of the Belle Epoque. The very enveloping decor on each piece reminds us of the precious objects dressed in green shark-skin that were very fashionable in the 1920.
Constance offers all the refinement of the Empire style. Acorns, Oak and laurel leave - the symbols of strength, longevity and peace - are delicately arranged and appear as if painted by an artist's brush in watercolors.
Inspired by the curiosity cabinets that were so fashionable in the 16th and 17th centuries, the pattern is available on a full dinnerware service with scenes reminiscent of japanese prints: birds depicted in automnal colors perch on stylised trees in raised gold.
Sauvage Or is a testament to a distinctive technical prowess: Bernardaud successfully reproduced on a table service the texture of reptilian skin.
Sauvage is a testament to a distinctive technical prowess: Bernardaud successfully reproduced on a table service the texture of reptilian skin and cordovan (embossed) leather. The hexagonal motif is realized in pearly grey and highlighted by a fine silver band.
A reference to design trends from the 1970's, the geometric motif of the Athena Collection creates a dimensional and graphic appearance. Brilliant and matte accents highlight the understated, neoclassical frieze, while emphasizing the beautiful modernity of the collection. Athena expresses a strong personality full of elegance and allure. A wide variety of accessories may easily compliment the design to create a masculine, feminine, classical or contemporary table setting.
Inspired by distant deserts and drawn from timeless landscapes, Dune still bears the caress of the wind on the sand on its wide borders.
The decor revisits the ceramic motifs of the 16th Century Ottoman Empire which were themselves inspired by the Ming dynasty. This predilection of Ottoman princes' is referenced in the cobalt blue and white which accentuate the depth of the scrolls and variety of flowers: marigolds, tulips, roses...
Cristal provides an ideal backdrop for a personal creativity. Able to set a refined table while emphasizing its understated appearance or a personalized setting when paired with another pattern from the Bernardaud collections.
Palmyre provides an ideal backdrop for a personal creativity. Able to set a refined table while emphasizing its understated appearance or a personalized setting when paired with another pattern from the Bernardaud collections.
This collection revisits the grandeur of early 19th century French porcelain styles, most notably the influence of renowned porcelain painter Pierre-Louis Dagoty, that combine elegance of form, vibrant colors and the sumptuousness of design and application of gold. The distinctive flowering papyrus motif that radiates along the border of the plate pays homage to the passionate interest in Egyptian-inspired architectural design, furniture and art that began in the 18th century and heightened after the Napoleonic campaigns in the 19th century.

In the Beginning
Budget Woes
Now that the festive season is over, the chances are you probably have some spare cash on hand, so why not take the opportunity to get your hands on a new budget rig? With that thought in mind, we decided to see what we could get in terms of performance and value with a set budget.
Keep in mind that IT Show 2008 is just around the corner, so there's a possibility that some adjustments in component pricing due to special show offers might prevail. So if you are of the patient sort, you might want to wait just a few days till the IT Show begins on 6th March before charging down town for your purchases. Of course, history has shown that PC component offers aren't the core focus of the fair, so it's generally safe to just march down to your favorite dealers anytime if you rather shop a little more leisurely.
On deciding the budget for the DIY rig, the Hardware Zone team sat down and discussed the matter, factoring in some of the other budget offerings by major PC manufacturers such as Acer, HP and Dell that are currently available in the market. We had to conclude that some of the prices being offered were quite attractive due to the cost savings such as using in-house branded LCD displays, the mass production process and discounts on bulk quantities offered by their suppliers.
Not to be daunted by the offers from the big brands, we did our homework on their current offerings and sifted through some of the systems' technical specifications and price points and came to the conclusion that it was possible to match or better their offerings via the DIY route. We set a cutoff point for our budget at about $1,600, a figure which we debated until our good friends at HWM pointed out that the Acer M360 Aspire they were reviewing cost $1,600 and asked if we could match the specs and performance of the unit.
The challenge, as they say, was on.
