"My wife purchased a soft Traditional pillow for me after lots of hinting that I wanted one. Tempur-Pedic describes the pillow as great for back and side sleepers who like feather pillows. The pillow is very hard once you put on a pillow case and holds my head up way too high. I've tried it for three days and woke up with a sore neck each morning. My wife took me to buy a "real" feather pillow this morning. Very disappointed. No returns/exchanges allowed so be sure you like it before spending $100 on a pillow."
Recommended? Yes
"I bought two x-soft traditional pillows and am very pleased. They definitely are much better than any other pillow I have ever owned. I sleep comfortably all night. I do wish it was available in a queen size. Also, it is too big for the sheet sets that I own and it is difficult stuffing it into a pillowcase. The dimensions of the pillows are not given on the website so finding pillowcases that fit is difficult; yes, I have taken my own measurements. The Tempur-Pedic linen sets are expensive so I am reluctant to invest in them not knowing if they would fit better or not. Bottomline, it is a great pillow, but the sizes available & the fit of the pillow to a pillowcase needs to be improved. "
Recommended? Yes
"I am also one of those people who tried many pillows and was not happy. I would say I am an all sleeper, I start out on my back, turn left and right and occasionally do lay on my stomach. I purchased the Tempur-Traditional pillow in "Soft", I found it to be too firm, thick and heavy and not soft for me at all. I then purchased the same pillow but this time in X-Soft, I absolutely loved it. This pillow was slightly filled, but soft and not thick or heavy compared to the soft pillow. I agree with the other posts, the pillows could be renamed to soft, medium and firm, only because the Soft was very firm and heavy. I definitely recommend the Tempur-Traditional X soft pillow!"
Recommended? Yes
"First I bought the Tempur-Comfort, which was too firm. Then I bought a Tempur-Cloud, which turned out to be too soft. Finally, I bought a Tempur-Traditional (medium), and like Goldilocks, it was just right. I never even notice this pillow, which is to say that it's perfect. I never have to fluff it up or mash it down. I no longer "fight" my pillow, nor do I wake up with soreness or stiffness in my neck or shoulders. I absolutely LOVE this pillow!!"
Recommended? Yes
"The tempur-traditional pillow was a real godsend when I started having muscle spasms in my neck. I had tried a number of pillows prior to the tempur-traditional pillow, and none helped the situation. Then I tried the tempur-traditional and I have experienced real relief. My only suggestion is that Tempur-pedic rename the "feel" of the pillows from "extra-soft, soft, and medium" to "soft, medium, and firm," which I feel is a better characterization of the firmness of each one. I first got the "soft," as a few minutes' trial in the store was not really enough to determine which feel would be best, and my husband thought that the "extra soft" sounded like it would not provide enough support for my neck problems. Well, I took it home and tried it and found that it provided some relief, but I also quickly realized that I needed something not quite as firm. Realizing that I couldn't return the pillow once I had opened the package, I had no choice but to purchase the "extra soft" a few days later, and I must say that it has been simply amazing! I do feel that the "soft" tempur-traditional that I originally purchased is actually firm enough to be considered a "medium" feel, and I would imagine that what is now designated as "medium" should probably be considered to be "firm." Otherwise, it's a great pillow, allowing the user a really good night's sleep! "
"I bought two of these pillows with hopes of sleeping on a comfy, soft surface. But nope. I ordered these in extra soft after seeing the other reviews where someone was complaining about their chin touching their chest. The extra soft is like sleeping on a flat pancake. The only soft thing about them is that the pillow is obviously hollow...it's really just two pieces of foam placed in a fabric casing with an apparent gap between the foam. It's too bad I wasted $200 on these, and it's really too bad that Tempurpedic doesn't accept any returns. Of course."
Recommended? Yes
"I absolutely love this pillow! I am a side sleeper and when I first tried it I thought it may be too firm but within 5 minutes fell sound asleep, and it feels great to sleep on. I have a tempurpedic mattress w/a tempurpedic topper which I love, and now I love this pillow on it! I have a King size bed, and would have preferred to at least be able to order a Queen size but you did not give that option! Hopefully you will in the near future, and I will buy it not only for myself but my girls as well!! Love this pillow, not too hard, not too soft, just right!!"
Recommended? Yes
"I originally got the standard size soft pillow because it was perfect when I tried it in the showroom. Unfortunately, after I crammed it into a standard pillow case here at home, it felt very hard and too high. The salesman let me exchange it for the x-soft and I didn't use a pillow case this time. It's perfect now, so I'm having extra wide standard cases made for it. The old 20x26 cases really don't fit any of today's over stuffed pillows. You'd think someone would figure this out and sell over sized pillow cases. They finally did this for the fitted sheets. Now it's time for the pillows. Meanwhile, my standard size x-soft is the bestest pillow in the world! "
Recommended? Yes
"This pillow did not meet our expectations. For back sleepers is pushes you head so that your chin touches your chest. I got the x-soft so that this would not happen. My wife who is a side sleeper ordered a soft, she got up this morning saying she is going to JCP to look for another pillow. Bottom line for us these did not work and we are stuck with them. (I am sure this review will not get approved.)"
Recommended? Yes
"I bought this pillow after first trying 5 other pillows that just didn't work for me. I tried down, I tried other memory foams, I tried fiber fill. Nothing worked for me. I needed a pillow that was supportive, but would still compress down. Being a back/stomach sleeper, I found most pillows were just too thick. I'd wake up every morning with a stiff neck. I needed a pillow that would flatten down enough that it wouldn't cause a crick in my neck, but that would still support my head. I found this pillow and bought it in the Extra Soft. It is amazing! No more sore neck and shoulders! It has the softness of down, but with more support. (I always found with down, that by morning my head was literally touching the bed, because all the down had shifted around my head.) you can't go wrong with this pillow. Plus you can purchase it in different levels of firmness. My only complaint is the high price, but it is worth it to get a restful nights sleep. The right pillow can make all the difference. I plan on purchasing a second Traditional Pillow in Extra Soft just so I can have a backup. I highly recommend this pillow! Do your tired head and neck a favor, Buy One!!!"
"I know I can't return these pillows but I would if I could. I took the advice of the consultant after much conversation and am greatly disappointed. I suffer from fibromyalgia and chronic pain and need a soft but supportive pillow. I should have never ordered soft as they are like mush and I need both pillows stacked in order to get any support. I do take responsibility for the extra soft as a choice but as a third pillow. I should have been guided to the firmer pillow. I also asked if any pillows came in a larger size and was told no which i later read is not true. I ordered a mattress at the same time that has not yet been delivered and am praying that it is not to soft. I will be buying firmer pillows to replace these. "
Recommended? Yes
"My husband and I just bought the "medium" and "soft" versions of these pillows last weekend, and we absolutely love them! So much nicer than the knock-off memory foam that feels hard and less conforming. The cushion is extremely comfortable,yet supportive. I'm definitely not tossing and turning, and fluffing my pillow like I was before. I just wish they made them in a king size!"
Ergonomically contoured shapes support your head, neck and spine, ranging from firm to medium-soft.
Softer, shapeable filled pillows in more standard shapes, with gentle head and neck support for a range of sleep styles.
Travel-size pillows deliver proper support and soothing comfort so you get more restful sleep while you're traveling.

After rising for seven weeks, gas prices nationwide have come to a virtual standstill, according to a survey published Sunday.
The average price of regular gasoline is $3.83 a gallon, down a fraction of a cent from two weeks ago, the Lundberg Survey found.
From late July to early September, the price had jumped 33 cents a gallon, according to the survey.
The changes have mostly stemmed from crude oil prices, which have seen a decline in recent days, said publisher Trilby Lundberg.
"If oil prices stay where they are now, then there will be further pass-through to refiners, marketers, and retailers," dropping prices at the pump five to 10 cents, she said.
Also, Saudi Arabia "seems to be positioning itself to increase supply," and demand around the world is weakening -- two factors that could help prices drop, Lundberg said.
The survey tabulates prices at thousands of gas stations nationwide.
The city with the lowest average price in the latest survey, taken September 21, was Jackson, Mississippi, at $3.52 The highest was Chicago, with an average of $4.25.
Here are prices in some other cities:
Boston - $3.91

My first update video using my new Kodak Play Sport. Next time I will record in the day time, the lighting on this video isn't that great. Also, I need to remember where the camera lens is... haha, I guess the off center video is kinda artistic ;) No more eye twitches (that were very strong and frequent in last month's video.) Feeling good, like my old self, physically! YAY! Back to the weight room! LOL
Hey BP Friends! It's time for another update video! This is at week 61, or 1 year & 2 months into my recovery. My BP eye still twitches quite a bit and the synkinesis is still very noticeable to me, but most people (including my doctors) think that I am improving... some even go as far as to say I'm 100% recovered. Who am I to point out my residuals to non BP sufferers? ;) If they want to think I'm 100% recovered, I say LET THEM! It makes me feel good that my face isn't receiving the opposite reaction: "Oh, too bad you haven't recovered completely!" PS... If someone says that to you, you have my permission to punch them in the mouth and ask them "Now you know how I feel! Has the paralysis kicked in yet?" JERKS! Don't play that game! Here's to a healthy, happy future! Residuals and ALL! XOXO

Those who live with the visible effects of trauma often put limits on themselves. After the restoration treatments, we have seen the return of self confidence; new relationships formed; new social interactions and a reduction of self imposed isolation. The use of fillers and botox come into their own in terms of excellence in this emotive area. As Practitioners, we share in the joy of the transformation. Our patients feel that they have been given their life back and the mirror can finally reflect who they are in terms of how they feel inside. www.facetoday.com.au
allbellspalsy.info is the main Bell's Palsy website. To purchase the Bell's Palsy Guide please go to http Tarsorrhaphy This is a procedure whereby a few millimetres of your eyelids are actually sewn together usually at the very corners of the eye. The reasons are to help with the moisture retention upon the cornea and sometimes for cosmetic reasons for those with very long term or permanent eyelid problems. Because usually only a few millimetres are sewn at each corner, your vision should not be affected. However, the more that is sewn, the more chance that your peripheral vision may be affected. Do not let these things worry you. You do not have to have any of these operational treatments, they are just there if it is decided at some point that they would be best for you. They are only really used to replace the manual care that we have discussed in the rest of this chapter, so if you, like me, are a tad squeamish of such things, just work hard with the other methods as your healing progresses and the automatic natural processes return.

Clarkson, Ph.D., Victoria Hammersley, B.Sc., Sima Hayavi, Ph.D., Anne McAteer, M.Sc., Ken Stewart, MD, and Fergus Daly, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Background Corticosteroids and antiviral agents are widely used to treat the early stages of idiopathic facial paralysis (ie, Bell's palsy), but their effectiveness is uncertain. Methods We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, factorial trial involving patients with Bell's palsy who were recruited within 72 hours after the onset of symptoms. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 10 days of treatment with prednisolone, acyclovir, both agents, or placebo. The primary outcome was recovery of facial function, as rated on the House--Brackmann scale. Secondary outcomes included quality of life, appearance, and pain. Results Final outcomes were assessed for 496 of 551 patients who underwent randomization. At 3 months, the proportions of patients who had recovered facial function were 83.0% in the prednisolone group as compared with 63.6% among patients who did not receive prednisolone and 71.2% in the acyclovir group as compared with 75.7% among ...
allbellspalsy.info is the main website and the Bell's Palsy Guide Book can be purchased from http Bell's Palsy Series Two - Protecting Your Eyes Of all the symptoms of Bell's Palsy, one of the only ones that you can and must do something about is taking care of your eyes. The most common eye problems are: An inability to completely close the eye on the side of the paralysis A constantly dry eye (We will look at daytime and nightime care) A constantly watery eye Lower eyelid extremely drooped allowing more of the eye surface to be exposed to dust, dirt and water. (discussed throughout) A particular sensitivity to light due to the fact that you cannot close one of your eyes completely. One of the most important things to do is to protect your eyes from dust and debris. Normally you are naturally protected by the automatic blinking process, which often removes the offending item too. You may not have this function at present. If you are concerned that you have something stuck in your eye try, WITH GREAT CARE AND AN ULTRA CLEAN FINGER, to remove the offending particle but, unless immediately successful, go and seek the help of an optician who will know exactly what to do and can also check your eye to ensure no damage has been done. The following can become apparent at the onset of Bell's Palsy or in the case of a dry or watery eye, during recovery. BLURRED VISION The 7th Cranial Nerve DOES NOT control eye focus, so if you experience blurred vision this could well be the ...
allbellspalsy.info GO TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR !!! NOW !!! I could presume that you have already seen your doctor for you to know you have Bell's Palsy. If that is so, well done. However, if you have not been, GO NOW. I cannot stress this enough. There are over 50 conditions that can cause facial paralysis and these all need to be discounted first before a diagnosis of Bell's Palsy is given. An experienced doctor who has seen Bell's Palsy before will not take long to diagnose you correctly, but there is absolutely no point in treating or even reading about Bell's Palsy if you actually have something else. What will happen when you see the doctor? The doctor will ask you some questions about how the facial paralysis came about, what happened first, when you noticed any of the Bell's Palsy symptoms and how long it has taken to get to its present state. I'm sure that the next advice will only need to be heard by a few but "TELL THE TRUTH". It is a common reaction to something this scary and stressful to give only half of the truth for fear of the diagnosis. If you tell the whole truth, then you can trust the professional doctor to diagnose you correctly, advise the proper treatments and thus you can start the correct healing process. If the doctor does diagnose you with a Bell's Palsy then there are most likely two treatments they will prescribe to you; an antiviral course of treatment and a steroid course of treatment. They will explain to you why these two treatments are the ...

I woke up with Bell's Palsy yesterday, October 1, 2010. I had been having a headache, ear ache, fatique, then numbness in my tongue followed quickly by the loss of taste sensation. We do not know the cause yet. It could be Lyme disease, which I had blood drawn and it was sent off to a lab in Boston. It may also be a latent viral infection most likely from the chicken pox virus. The problem is that I have facial paralysis on the right side of my face. I am taking Amoxicillin, Prednisone, Valacyclovir, and an eye lubricant at night. The most irritating thing, right now, is that I can't blink my right eye.
Hi, this is just a video tracking my improvements with Bell's Palsy over the past month. I woke up on August 17 with facial paralysis. I was tested for Lyme's Disease and all that jazz and everything came back negative so no one really knows how I got it.
Facial Surgery for Bells Palsy. The role of surgery as a therapy for Bell's palsy is controversial. If patients do not completely recover, surgical treatment may be indicated. These complex procedures are performed on the facial nerves and muscles in order to reduce distortion of facial features and help restore function (eg, eye closure). The three main procedures are (1) facial nerve repair and nerve graft, (2) nerve substitution, and (3) muscle transposition. These procedures are not able to completely restore normal function, but they can significantly improve facial function and appearance. (1). Facial nerve repair is the most effective procedure to restore facial function in patients who have suffered nerve damage from an accident or during surgery. It involves microscopic repair of a nerve that has been cut. A nerve graft replaces one that has been removed. (2). Nerve substitution is indicated when the nerve cannot be repaired in the conventional manner. In this procedure, another cranial nerve involved in facial movement is connected to the damaged nerve and takes over its function. (3). Muscle transposition is used in patients who have had facial paralysis for at least 2 years and are unlikely candidates for nerve repair or substitution. This procedure involves the transfer of a muscle with its original nerve supply (a neuromuscular unit) to the affected area. The temporalis muscle or masseter muscle (two muscles in the face that are not controlled by the facial ...
What Are the Treatments for Bell's Palsy? - By China Zmuida, When you first suffer from Bell's palsy, you may think that you're having a stroke. Initial symptoms begin with your face feeling stiff. Half of your face will droop, and you will be unable to close your eye on the affected side. Tears will drip from your eye. If paralysis and weakness are only present in your face, then you are more than likely suffering from Bell's palsy. According to the Mayo Clinic, more than 40000 Americans develop Bell's palsy every year. In most cases, symptoms of Bell's palsy will resolve within a few months. Some people, however, will need treatment to combat symptoms. Medications (1) .If swelling is severe along with your other symptoms, your physician may prescribe corticosteroids to reduce swelling of your facial nerves. If your symptoms are caused by a virus, then your doctor may prescribe antiviral medications such as acyclovir and valacyclovir. If Bell's palsy is treated early, you may be given a combination of corticosteroids and antiviral medications. According to the Mayo Clinic, corticosteroids seem to be more effective. Physical Therapy (2.) Bell's palsy can lead to paralysis of your facial muscles. Over a prolonged period, your facial muscles can shrink and shorten. It is important to have these muscles massaged. Working with a physical therapist on exercising your facial muscles can help prevent permanent muscle damage. Moist heat applied to muscles that ache can also help ...

Turns out, now I have the chicken pox (a mild outbreak, localized to my chin, neck and upper back) so I've started taking Famciclvoir (the same anti-viral given for shingles, which is I guess what I have now!) So... it's true that you CAN get the chicken pox twice! The second time you catch the "Wild strain"! Lucky us!!!

text: WASHINGTON (AP) -- New research is challenging medical guidelines that say people with a heart-zapping device in their chests should avoid intense sports like basketball and soccer in favor of golf or bowling. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sunbathers headed to the beach this summer will find new sunscreen labels on store shelves that are designed to make the products more effective and easier to use. But despite those long-awaited changes, many sunscreens continue to carry SPF ratings that some experts consider misleading and potentially dangerous, according to a consumer watchdog group. (Associated Press) -- Angelina Jolie's mother had breast cancer and died of ovarian cancer, and her maternal grandmother also had ovarian cancer -- strong evidence of an inherited, genetic risk that led the actress to have both of her healthy breasts removed to try to avoid the same fate, her doctor said Wednesday. CHICAGO (AP) -- As the guitarist strums and softly sings a lullaby in Spanish, tiny Augustin Morales stops squirming in his hospital crib and closes his eyes. CHICAGO (AP) -- In the new psychiatric manual of mental disorders, grief soon after a loved one's death can be considered major depression. Extreme childhood temper tantrums get a fancy name. And certain "senior moments" are called "mild neurocognitive disorder." WASHINGTON (AP) -- New research is raising fresh concern that an age-old treatment for troubled pregnancies -- bed rest -- doesn't seem to prevent premature birth, and might even worsen that risk. (Associated Press) -- Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie announced on Tuesday that she had a preventive mastectomy after learning she had a gene that significantly raised her risk of breast cancer. Here's a crash course in the procedure Jolie had and why. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal accident investigators recommended Tuesday that states cut their threshold for drunken driving by nearly half, matching a standard that has substantially reduced highway deaths in other countries. TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Spending on prescription medicines in the U.S. fell for the first time in decades last year, slipping as cash-strapped consumers continued to cut back on use of health care services. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hospitals within the same city sometimes charge tens of thousands of dollars more for the same procedures, according to figures the government released for the first time Wednesday. The federal list sheds new light on the mystery of just how high a hospital bill might go -- and whether it's cheaper to get the care somewhere else. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Weight-loss surgery such as the type that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie underwent may not just improve people's waistlines, but their health. (Associated Press) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has both joked about his weight and said that it's a real concern, secretly underwent a weight-loss surgery in February that experts say could help him if he gets exercise and watches what he eats. DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Baxter International Inc. says that a blood product it was testing failed to slow mental decline or to preserve physical function in a major study of 390 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. WASHINGTON (AP) -- Thousands of people with serious medical problems are in danger of losing coverage under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul because of cost overruns, state officials say. NEW YORK (AP) -- The suicide rate among middle-aged Americans climbed a startling 28 percent in a decade, a period that included the recession and the mortgage crisis, the government reported Thursday. BRUSSELS (AP) -- The European Union plans to restrict the use of three pesticides to better protect dwindling bee populations.

Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to Adele on iHeartRadio
Did Taylor Swift even realize that there was an entire new set of award shows she could break into by starting to write songs for movies? If not, don't be surprised to see her starting to offer up songs for the next Alvin and the Chipmunks or Smurfs movies for free just to get herself into the game. Anwyay, she'll get a chance to begin her domination of film award shows on January 13th, when her Hunger Games soundtrack contribution"Safe and Sound" (one of our Top 100 Songs of the Year) goes for the Best Original Song award at the Golden Globes.
She'll have some stiff competition for the award, however, as the likely favorite has to be Adele, the only person in the world to rival Taylor's music award-winning prowess, for her well-received theme to recent Bond flick Skyfall. (Keith Urban and Jon Bon Jovi are also nominees, for Act of Valor's "For You" and Stand Up Guys' "Not Running Anymore").

This script does a full backup of the files, whereas with the tracks you would probably want to do an incremental backup, only backing up the files that had changed since the last backup. You wouldn't want to them to be included in the archive either, and the archive component I use certainly wouldn't be able to handle an archive of that size anyway, even if you did. Doing it at shutdown could be an issue, as it would probably take too long to perform the backup and that can cause issues.

A 9-year-old boy who police said was killed by his father with a hatchet was identified Wednesday afternoon as Matthew Hernandez.
The boy's father -- Phillip Hernandez, 36 -- is accused of attacking and killing his son with a hatchet as the boy slept on a couch at a North Sacramento home Tuesday night, Sacramento police said.
"(It's) just a horrific case," said Matt Young, a Sacramento Police Department spokesman.
At 11:52 p.m. Tuesday, Young said police received two emergency calls from a home on Atrisco Circle, in the north area of Sacramento.
The boy was found dead inside the home, of "devastating injuries to his head," Young said.
"It's just awful," said Monica Roberts, a neighbor. "I can't imagine a father doing that to his own child."
Hernandez broke through a sliding glass door before attacking his son, according to police.
A family member heard the glass break and found Hernandez holding a hatchet and standing over the boy.
Police said the family member tried to intervene, but was shoved aside by Hernandez, who proceeded to attack his son.
Officers found Hernandez walking along Azevedo Drive at El Camino Avenue and took him into custody.

Too cool for preschool
(Photos by Sophie)
64 comments:
My 10-month-old had an 18-month-old girlfriend. Every time they saw each other, she would scream "BAYBEEEEEE!" and he would scream wordlessly. Then they would run up to each other (she was much faster than he, of course) and just scream in each others' faces, waving their hands. It was an excited sort of scream that always made us laugh. Sadly, she moved away a few weeks ago :(
Oh yeah, cute pics! The bottom one could be an ad!hahaha sweet Jesus, those sunglasses are phenomenal! I have to buy a pair for my little Sophie and Jack. Tim left his wayfarers at my apartment recently and I abide by the "finders keepers" philosophy. He picked me up for a date recently wearing the new ones he'd purchased to find me wearing his old ones. Caught red-handed!

Kevin Goddess discusses the growth of online video and the opportunity for brand's willing to...
McMurry Launches 3-D Video Capabilities
Phoenix—McMurry, one of the largest marketing communications firms in the U.S., now offers 3-D video capabilities to capitalize on the fact that 3-D televisions will be hitting the market this holiday season, and corporate brands marketing to consumers are soon to follow with their own private-label use of the realistic and captivating technology.
"The video medium hasn't meaningfully changed from an experiential standpoint in decades, and 3-D is about to change that in a significant way," says Chris McMurry, CEO of McMurry, which helped Samsung roll out its 3-D LED HDTV in March. "In a day and age when true differentiation can be challenging, brands who are early adopters of 3-D have a unique window of opportunity to capture the market's attention."
Most of the leading TV makers are working on 3-D sets that don't require glasses, and companies like LG, Samsung, Sony and Philips believe 3-D will account for 50 percent of sales from their TV offerings by 2012. Meanwhile, more computers are 3-D ready and, 3-D has demonstrated its power at the box office this year.
"Until 3-D doesn't require glasses, its best use is in controlled environments like large corporate meetings, trade show events and experiential retail environments," explains David Goddess, president of McMurry's New York City-based video operation, Spark, which has more than 3,000 brand videos in its portfolio. "Every week brands are inquiring about how to make 3-D part of their upcoming plans."
Fifty-four percent of corporate marketers expect to use video more in the next year, and video is one of the fastest growing nonprint forms of content marketing, according to a recent industry study completed by ContentWise.

The 1000 definitely fits without cutting, as I have had it in my build since day one! I haven't seen temperature exceed 40 degrees, and that's with the fan speed turned all the way down in the BIOS - going from memory think its rotating at around 1800 rpm.
Picture I've also just installed a PicoPSU today following advice from wsume99 - thanks so much for helping me track down the cause of high power consumption in my build! Granted I could have gotten away with a smaller PicoPSU, but when I ordered the smaller ones seemed to be out of stock with a long lead time so I decided to go for this one instead. I've done a comparison of max power consumption in two scenarios below and can safely say I'm very happy with my PicoPSU! Standard Antec 150w PSU that came with case: 83w max whilst running Prime95 ||| 75w max playing 1080p video in XBMC. PicoPSU-120 + 110w Brick - 67w max whilst running Prime95 ||| 43w max playing 1080p video in XBMC. |

Important information for students sitting E-Assessments from April 2012 onwardsE-Assessments are available at test centres in the following locations: Belfast, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Leeds, Liverpool, (City of) London, Manchester, Newcastle, Peterborough and Southampton.
You may enter for the E-Assessments online here
You will be eligible to sit the E-Assessments following acceptance of your registration as a CIOT student, subject to a 21 day period to allow your profile to be created on the E-Assessment system.
You must apply to sit the E-Assessments online; an entry and payment facility is available via the Institute's website for this purpose. It will be possible to sit the two E-Assessments on separate occasions, or you may sit both back-to-back at a single session, with a short break between the two E-Assessments. Provision will be made for you if you are eligible for extra time or require accessibility software. Please contact the Institute about this.
Various test centres around the UK will be available for you to sit the E-Assessments at a time of your choosing. You should allow at least 10 working days between the time of booking the E-Assessment and an appointment being available at your chosen centre, and you should expect slightly longer waiting times at periods when demand is likely to be high (particularly in February and August).
Should you be unsuccessful you must allow 72 hours before booking again.
To book an E-Assessment appointment you must be a currently registered CTA student who has been issued with a student identification number by the Institute. If your registration as a student has expired you must re-register before you will be able to make a booking.
Subject to availability and opening hours you will be able to take the E-Assessments at a time of your choosing. Smaller test centres may have reduced opening hours. Some weekend and early evening appointments will be available at certain centres.
You must complete both E-Assessments before entering for your final written tax paper. The entry deadline prior to the May exams is last day of the preceding February, and the entry deadline prior to the November exams is last day of the preceding August.
Each attempt at an E-Assessment costs £75. This fee is non-refundable.
Each E-Assessment lasts for one hour and is made up of 60 multiple choice questions, where you are asked to identify the correct response from a choice of four, and multiple response questions, where you are asked to identify several correct responses from a choice of up to six. All questions have the same value towards your overall mark.
Each E-Assessment is preceded by a short non-timed, non-scored tutorial in order for you to familiarise yourself with the computer testing environment.
To pass an E-Assessment you will need to correctly answer 40 out of the 60 questions set.
All questions in the Professional Responsibilities & Ethics E-Assessment are drawn from the following professional standards documents, which are available without charge on the CIOT website:
Professional Rules & Practice Guidelines - effective from 31st March 2011Professional Conduct in Relation to Taxation effective from 4 January 2011PII GuidancePII RegulationsContinuing Professional Development Regulations and Guidance 2011
You will also need an awareness of the following:
Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 Money Laundering Regulations 2007 CCAB Anti-Money Laundering Guidance (and Supplementary Anti-Money Laundering Guidance for the Tax Practitioner)
Material which may be accessed by links from any of the above is not examinable (except any link that refers to an examinable item specified above).
All questions in the Law E-Assessment will be drawn from:
Essential Law for Tax Practitioners – Second Edition (Examinable from March 2013).
A free supplement is available if you intend to sit the E-Assessment according to Scots Law.
The CIOT will deliver the E-Assessments in conjunction with Prometric, a leading worldwide provider of computer based testing services. Prometric have numerous test centres located throughout the UK; you may view details of these via the CIOT portal on Prometric's website
Prometric: CIOT portal
All E-Assessments must be sat at Prometric centres in order to ensure consistent test conditions for all candidates.
You must book via the CIOT website. A link to the online booking facility is available at the top of this page. You will need your student registration number, a valid email address and a debit or credit card (American Express is not accepted) in order to make a booking. Should you experience any problems using the online booking facility please contact the CIOT Education Team by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, by telephone on 0844 5796700 or by letter to our normal postal address and we will resolve them for you.
Important - if you need to sit the Law E-Assessment according to Scots Law you must select the "Law - Scotland" option when booking your appointment. If you need to sit under England, Wales and Northern Ireland Law you must select the "Law" option. Take care to select the correct option when booking as this cannot be amended later.
Yes, it will be possible to book an appointment to take both tests. This can be done by selecting a 'back-to-back' appointment via the online booking facility (both E-Assessments are still marked and graded separately). Should you choose to do this then the Professional Responsibilities & Ethics E-Assessment will take place first, followed by an optional ten minute break before the Law E-Assessment begins. It is not possible to change the running order of the two E-Assessments.
Yes, you may do so via the reschedule option on the online booking system, although this will incur a charge as follows:
If request made more than 29 days before original appointment date - no charge.
If request made between 5 and 29 days of original appointment date - £15 charge per E-Assessment rescheduled.
If request made less than 5 days before original appointment date - £30 charge per E-Assessment rescheduled.
Please note that E-Assessment fees are non-refundable if you choose to cancel your appointment.
Should you fail to present yourself at the test centre for your appointment without rescheduling then the fee paid is forfeit. A new booking must be made and the test fee paid in full again should you subsequently want to attempt the E-Assessment concerned.
You should inform the CIOT Education Team before booking the E-Assessments. Please contact us by email at email@example.com, by telephone on 0844 5796700 or by letter to our normal postal address and we will send you the appropriate form, which you should complete and return to the CIOT with evidence of your condition supplied by a medical practitioner or other appropriate documentation (e.g. if you are dyslexic an Educational Psychologist's report). The CIOT will then contact you to inform you of the extra time and/or special arrangements that you will be allowed. To book an examination you must contact the Education team by phone or email and we will book the test for you with the extra time allocation.
All Prometric test centres have step-free access for wheelchair users.
You must bring one piece of a current official photographic ID containing your signature e.g. passport, photocard driving licence. Failure to provide this will result in entry to the test centre being refused and forfeiture of your test fee. This rule will be strictly enforced.
If you do not have permissible ID documents you should contact the CIOT Education Team before booking an E-Assessment appointment.
You should still present yourself at the test centre as it is possible that you may still be able to sit your E-Assessment should a vacant test slot be available. However, if you are late for your appointment and the centre has no available slots then you will be unable to sit the E-Assessment and will forfeit your fee.
You should aim to arrive at the centre at least 15 minutes prior to the appointment time in order to allow time for the compulsory identity checks before the E-Assessment is due to start.
No - please direct all enquiries to the CIOT Education Team by email at email@example.com, by telephone on 0844 5796700 or by letter to our normal postal address.
You will be provided with the address of and directions to the test centre when you book your appointment.
Parking is not generally available at the test centres - it is suggested that you park in a nearby public car park or travel to the centre by public transport.
You should aim to arrive at the test centre at least 15 minutes before the start time of the E-Assessment in order to complete the check-in and identification process. Lockers are provided for you to secure your belongings as only the required ID documents may be taken into the testing suite. The E-Assessments are closed-book exams; you are not permitted to use any textbooks, legislation or notes. You will be shown to your allocated workstation by the invigilator.
You are advised not to take valuable belongings with you to the test centre as neither Prometric nor the CIOT will be liable for any loss of or damage to your possessions.
If you are taking both of the E-Assessments at a single session an optional 10 minute break between them will be provided.
Each workstation in the test area is partitioned and the room itself supervised by an invigilator. As far as practical, incidental noise levels are kept to a minimum and noise cancelling headphones are available.
If you need to use the lavatory or take any medication during the E-Assessment you should raise your hand to alert the invigilator. You may leave the test area temporarily but the allowed time for the test will continue to elapse while you are away. Please note you cannot bring anything for consumption - food, drink or medication - into the testing area. Any medication should be taken before the test starts or by leaving the test area during the E-Assessment.
Prometric test centres are monitored by experienced invigilators supplemented with video recordings of the test area. The test area is constantly monitored while candidates are working. If you believe you have witnessed any malpractice on the part of another candidate then you are encouraged to report this, in confidence, to an invigilator who will investigate and report to the CIOT.
Whatever you feel comfortable working in. Please be aware that the centres are air conditioned and therefore you may wish to bring an extra layer of clothing to put on should you find it too cool for your comfort.
You will be asked to remove your watch and leave it in the secure locker allocated to you. There is a countdown clock on the screen during the test to enable you to monitor your progress. You may also be asked to remove items that could cause a distraction to other candidates, such as bangles.
As well as checking your ID documents you will be screened in a similar manner to airport security. This may involve the use of a metal detector, emptying pockets and asking you to roll up your sleeves and trouser legs. Whilst these measures may seem intrusive they are an essential part of the process to ensure secure delivery of tests to all candidates.
You will be issued with your result at the centre directly after the conclusion of the E-Assessment in the form of a printed document.
Please allow at least 72 hours before attempting to book a re-sit in order for your result to be processed fully. Attempting to book earlier than this may result in your application being declined by the online booking system.
No. However, you should be aware of the rules surrounding the validity of credits within the CTA exam structure. Please refer to the CIOT Prospectus for further information.
In the first instance you should contact CIOT Education Team by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, by telephone on 0844 5796700 or by letter to our normal postal address. You must do so within 21 working days of sitting the E-Assessment concerned.
Staff at the test centre will not be able to provide any feedback on the content of the E-Assessments or your results.

A cable is a long piece of faeces which is partially ejected from the anus. Generally, the rule is that a cable must be of such length that is is touching the water whilst still coming out of the anus. (This is prevalent in toilets which only fill the lower faecal cavity with water, not half fill like in the Unites States). After defecation, the toilet may require several flushes to allow for the process of hydraulic action to break down your massive monolith and remove it from the bowl. "Move out my way, I'm killing for a cable."
"Damn, I had to flush the toilet five times to try and get that cable down." |

BEHIND THE WHEEL: Kia Rio a small car worth driving
Kia has been winning over new fans in the U.S. with a broad variety of new vehicles such as the Soul and the Sorento.
But buyers also look for Kia to deliver a nicely turned-out small car, and the 2013 Rio sedan is aimed squarely at the heart of the small car market once thought to be the exclusive province of the Japanese brands such as Toyota and Honda.
For starters, the exterior of the Rio offers a fresh — and stylish — interpretation of the small sedan, which is nice in a segment where boring styling is almost expected. The Rio, however, comes with nicely sculpted shoulders. The neatly designed headlamps and rear lights add to the car's character, and the side panels offer a nice, crisp appearance that plays into the Rio's overall wedge shape.
The front fascia conveys a subtle solidity that conveys the confidence that underlies Rio's overall presence.
The quite roomy interior of the car also is nicely done. The Kia is loaded with features motorists might not expect to find in a small car, but they are nicely packaged inside the car. In addition, the interior, while nicely furnished and not exactly luxurious, has materials off a substantive grade, so the driver doesn't feel trapped inside a sea of cheap plastic.
The seats are also comfortable and easy to adjust while the visibility from the inside of cabin is excellent.
The one question many motorists have about small cars is can the powertrain deliver the goods, and the Rio does. The car accelerates quickly and smoothly with minimal complaint, giving the car ample presence on the highway, which is one of the reasons the Rio has been such a success with buyers in the past couple of years.
It comes with a 1.6-liter gasoline direct-injection four-cylinder with the option of a six-speed manual transmission that produces 138 horsepower while maintaining a great fuel economy rating of 30 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on highway driving.
Rio also is the first non-hybrid vehicle to offer ISG technology to the mass (non-luxury) market, which helps to reduce fuel consumption and improve fuel economy by turning the engine off when the vehicle is not in motion — such as at a stop light or in traffic — and automatically restarting when the driver releases the brake pedal.
For 2013, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters have been added as standard equipment to the Rio SX to deliver a more engaging driving experience. Continued...
Other features include body-color door handles and side mirrors, rear wiper and washer, multi-reflector headlamps, and 15-inch steel wheels with 185/65R15 tires, and the Rio five-door also comes with a standard rear spoiler to improve aerodynamics.
The EX trim adds more standard conveniences including power door locks with keyless entry and a chrome front grille surround, adding to Rio's sophisticated and sleek look. Consumers looking for higher levels of sporty refinement will find the SX trim, which I drove, offers standard 17-inch wheels with 205/45R17 tires, fog lamps, LED accent lights and rear combination lamps, dual chrome exhaust tips, power-folding outside heated mirrors with turn signal indicators and, unique for the Rio five-door, projector headlamps.
The Rio also comes with a long list of features like a six-way adjustable driver's seat, tilt steering column, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, trip computer, electric power steering, 60/40 split folding rear seats and a cargo cover for the hatchback. Bluetooth wireless connectivity with steering wheel-mounted voice activation controls to enable hands-free operation for compatible mobile phones and a sleek metallic finish throughout with leatherette door trim are also available.
In addition to offering a comfortable cabin, impressive technology features also come standard on all trims, including a complete audio system with SiriusXM satellite radio.
The ride and handling of the 2013 Rio platform are also nicely tuned, offering both a comfortable and nimble ride. Built on a unibody frame, the front-wheel drive Rio utilizes an independent front suspension system. MacPherson struts, coil springs and a stabilizer bar are used in the front with a torsion beam axle suspension in the rear to engage drivers with responsive handling and provide the utmost comfort in a variety of driving situations.
The 2013 Rio is equipped with many standard safety features including six air bags (dual advanced front and front-seat mounted side as well as full-length side curtain), side-impact door beams, height-adjustable front seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters, three-point seat belts for all seating positions, and the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children restraint system. Also standard on all Rio trims for increased driver and passenger safety are electronic stability control, a four-wheel anti-lock brake system, hill-start assist control and vehicle stability management.
Overall, the Rio, with prices ranging from $14,000 to $18,000, is impressive, but only if you are willing to drive a small car.

Websites such as Kayak, Airfarewatchdog and FareCompare have convenient tables so travelers can plan in advance to some extent, Quinby added.
Fees for 'extras' likely to continue
Will passengers see more fees in 2013? There's no end to the creativity of airlines to charge separate fees for things that used to be included in the price of a ticket, according to George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com.
Allegiant now gives a discount for paying with a debit card versus a credit card, and Virgin America has charged an extra $20 on some flights for seats closer to the front of the plane with early boarding, wrote Hobica in an e-mail. "We might even see fees scaled by distance flown. If these fees are really about fuel consumption, why should a checked bag flown 300 miles cost the same as one flown 2,500 miles?
"We may also see penalties -- er, fees -- for passengers who don't print their boarding passes, pay baggage fees and check in online before arriving at the airport," Hobica wrote. "Want to deal with a human at the airport? You'll pay for that. There's no end to the imagination when it comes to new and 'improved' fee structures."
