I guess my conversion started before I met the missionaries. It was on my 29th birthday, and I was very sad. Here I was a single mom of a three year old, living in a room, in someone's else's apartment. I was working part-time. I had nothing and knew I was going nowhere in life. I was thinking something had to change. I didn't like where I was.
The next month I took a second job at a local market. Well, one day when I was leaving, I saw these two young men, standing a few registers over. Something told me to follow them, so I did. I followed them down the street, a cross a busy street, to where I finally caught up to them. I said hello and told them I knew a little bit about their church. They smiled and asked if they could come to my home. I said I don't know, but they wouldn't take no for an answer. I agreed to have them over.
I didn't know what was I doing, but they came and left. I thought, "I hope they don't come back," but I made an another appointmen anyway. The second time they came, WOW, a strong presence was there with them. It was amazing.
I continued to take the discussions, but wasn't ready to commit. During this time I went to church every Sunday. I stopped doing all the "bad" things I had been doing. I went to every activity. I really loved it. I knew I had found "home". I finally came home. I finally was baptised three months later.
Though things were hard afterwards, I never gave up and always had a smile on my face. What kept me going was knowing I was loved. I never had that growing up. I never knew I had a Father in Heaven that loved me. It will be fifteen years in December and I love it ever so much.

Prince Edward County has become such a vibrant community it really is amazing. On Saturday the wine industry held it's annual Terroir wine festival at the Crystal Palace.
With over 24 wineries open over the last decade from none and the emergence of gastronomy as a major force from this community, the event is a wonderful expression of our "somewhereness". This is the term Matt Kramer of Wine Spectator magazine uses as his translation for the french term terroir.
There really is a special "somewhereness" to Prince Edward County be it the wine, food, people, history, etc… It was great to talk to winemakers who were sharing their wines and business expansion stories with me or claiming their coup's they just brought back from the "seriously cool chardonnay" tasting in London, England where Prince Edward County wines, left a serious impression on some of the world's finest palette's.
Needless to say there were some really great wines and yummy food along with good conversation at the event.
Clearly there is something seriously cool happening in Prince Edward County with its distinct somewhereness. I am looking forward to enjoying more if it at one of our next events like Arte Vino, Six Barrels Six Chefs or the Jazz Festival just to name a few! Hope to see you there.

Duo to come to Port Townsend for evening of song and story [Corrected]

PORT TOWNSEND — Mollie O'Brien loves to sing a juicy tale. And she loves to travel around with her husband, Rich Moore.
Fortunately, he is a blues-bluegrass-folk guitar player who fits snugly beside her on a stage.
"We just have a really good time performing," O'Brien said in an interview from her home in Denver.
The singer, who came to teach and perform at Centrum's Voice Works festival last summer, is returning, alongside Moore, for a show at The Upstage, one of Port Townsend's all-ages music venues. The pair will step up at 7:30 this Wednesday night. Tickets are $15 at The Upstage, 923 Washington St., and via 360-385-2216.
'Saints and Sinners'
The main course will be "Saints and Sinners," O'Brien and Moore's album of songs from the likes of George Harrison, Harry Nilsson and Jesse Winchester. But "we've got some new stuff up our sleeves," O'Brien promised. Songs, stories and old-fashioned interaction with the audience and each other are their strong suit, after 30-plus years together.
"We're very comfortable, very relaxed on stage," O'Brien said. "Rich is a very funny guy," despite that straight face he has in their publicity photos.
O'Brien and Moore met after she moved from her home town of Wheeling, W.Va., to Boulder, Colo., in 1980. Her brother, Tim O'Brien, was in the midst of building a career in music there.
Laying her young eyes on Moore, "I fell madly in love," O'Brien recalled.
The couple moved to Denver and have lived there since, enjoying what O'Brien said is a healthy music scene.
O'Brien always knew she had a strong voice. She took lessons in high school and college, and got serious about performing while in her 20s.
"Then I had kids, and my voice changed. It got a bit deeper. I quit smoking, too," she said.
O'Brien has since toured the world, made 15 records and entertained on shows such as "Mountain Stage" and "A Prairie Home Companion."
These days she's feeling a fresh burst of energy.
"I'm 60. And I feel like I can still sing," O'Brien deadpanned.
Her peers agree.
'Musical treasures'
"Mollie O'Brien and Rich Moore are two national musical treasures," declared Dave Alvin, an artist who first gained fame with the rockabilly band the Blasters in the 1980s.
"With their soulful voices, Mollie and Rich are a constant source of joy and inspiration to me," added Alvin. "They are truly among the best out there keeping American music alive and vital."
O'Brien sashays from bluegrass to gospel to rhythm and blues, even sprinkling in a pop song like Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name (Across My Heart)" on her album "Tell It True."
When asked if she might offer that one at The Upstage, O'Brien replied: "I should dust that off. It's a great song. Very sexy."
For "Saints and Sinners," O'Brien and Moore looked across time and genre, recording Rodgers and Hart's "Everything I've Got," Richard Thompson's "The Ghost of You Walks," and "Cuba," Moore's own tribute to the tropical island. Also here is "Don't Bother Me," a song George Harrison wrote when he was 17.
O'Brien saluted songwriter Si Kahn, one of her inspirations, who said a singer doesn't truly know a song till he or she has sung it 100 times.
"If it's a good song, it's pretty hard to get tired of it," she said.
"You're really telling a story . . . mostly I just love to do it, and hopefully that comes across."
O'Brien and Moore discovered Port Townsend about five years ago. They took a 25th anniversary trip to the Pacific Northwest, went sailing among the San Juan Islands, then saw Maria Muldaur perform at The Upstage.
Wintergrass headliner
Their gig here Wednesday follows on the heels of a headlining performance at Wintergrass, the festival that runs through Sunday in Bellevue.
The show here, O'Brien added, will be "kind of crazy and fun and wild. I expect that in Port Townsend."

shows in the spring, plus a few more in winter for ice fishing.
"The coolest thing is I get to travel all over the world and still come
home," he said. "My whole life, I never left Maple Lake.
I love being here because it's where I'm from. It's a good town. I wouldn't stay it if it wasn't."
Raised in Maple Lake by Muriel and the late Clarence Rassat, Joe said,
continued from page 17
"Dad taught me about different kinds of business deals and took me along to auctions.
I learned the value of many different things. Mom is the strongest person I have ever met." His brothers, Dan and Ron, he said, taught him the joys of fishing. A 1984 graduate of Maple Lake High School, Rassat has also served for 24 years as a Maple Lake firefighter.
Will work for fun The fishing business has
also brought "a lot of interesting people" into his orbit, Rassat said.
"I've taken a lot of major league baseball players fishing," he said. "I taught Kirby Puckett how to fish. I met him at
Berkeley Day at the Dome in 1988, and he'd never been fishing in his life."
Rassat still wets the occasional line with Dave Winfield, Kurt Gibson and Kent Hrbek, who recently delighted local anglers with a surprise appearance at the Catch 4 Colbenson Ice Fishing Tournament on Clearwater Lake.
The sole owner of Rassat Outdoor Group, Rassat also shares business enterprises Annandale Mini-Storage and ML Properties with Tom Neu, a hunting and fishing buddy for the past 30 years.
And he's quick to point out that Rassat Outdoor Group's success is due not to one person, but to a talented team of individuals who work well together. And fun as it may be, he added, "work" is the operative word.
"I've always loved work," he said. "And this is work, but it's pretty cool work. I started out young, and it's all I've ever known. It's a nice part of my life. It all comes together in a big wheel."

Translated by aZnangel @ http://asianuniverse.net/forums/ Sunny Chan exposes Jessica Hsuan leaves before shooting starts Earlier it was said Jessica Hsuan was difficult to please while shooting a series in Mainland. Her old partner Sunny Chan accepted an interview by the Singaporean media yesterday and said: "Should have known earlier!" He exposed when he was shooting with Jessica in Curse of the Royal Harem, that day he, Jessica and Myolie Wu got to the set very early, but the director didn't shoot their scenes (Jessica and Myolie). Until 11pm, Jessica said to the director: "I got here early in the afternoon, I fixed my makeup 3 times and waited 5 hours. If we aren't shooting, then I'm leaving!" Sunny later added that Jessica was just being self-persistent. -------------------- * Bookmark: HKTVENEWS. (Stay up-to-date during downtime)

Richard Sauder, Ph.D.
Leading expert in clandestine bases and tunnels - under the ground, and under the sea
Dr. Richard Sauder was the first person to systematically popularize the mysterious topic of underground and underwater bases and tunnels. In addition to his latest book, Hidden in Plain Sight, he is the author of four other books and major reports: - The underground bestseller, Underground Bases and Tunnels: What is the Government Trying to Hide?, which represents his first work on the underground bases issue. - The esoteric Kundalini Tales,which deals with paranormal and mind control themes. - Underwater and Underground Bases, which expands the scope of his earlier work to include military plans for manned bases and tunnels beneath the seafloor, |
The authoritative investigation of what really goes on beneath our feet. CLICK TO READ SECTIONS OF THE BOOK This is the latest and most in-depth book by Dr. Richard Sauder, the world's premier investigator of underground bases and tunnels. In these pages, Dr. Sauder asks -- and often answers -- such questions as: Where are the secret underground bases? How far down do they go? What leaks are coming from the classified world? What has the U.S. Navy planned for beneath the ocean floor? Are there bases beneath the ocean? What's going on beneath Washington, D.C.? Are there high-speed, underground maglev systems? What is the connection with UFOs and the alien question? This is a book that truly goes where no other book has gone before. It is a must-read for any and all who are seeking to understand the full magnitude of the Matrix-like reality of our civilization. SIGNED COPIES OF THIS BOOK ARE AVAILABLE DIRECTLY FROM THIS WEBSITE. ALSO AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.COM (unsigned) Read selections of the book >> Read the Foreword by Richard M. Dolan >> Hidden in Plain Sight features the artwork of U.S. Navy illustrator Walter Koerschner, who was tasked during the 1960s to draw underwater scenarios that Navy planners were envisioning. These are 3 of the 18 illustrations featured in the book Here on this web page, they are presented in their full color. |

The Minot Manifesto by Richard Sauder, 2010 "Hier stehe ich. Ich kann nicht anders." These truths are self-evident: Both major political parties in the USA are massively criminally corrupt; they are essentially political mafias, tools of the Fortune 500, Wall Street, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other nefarious interests The Real Reason For Many UFO Abductions? by Richard Sauder, 2009Many people, including me, have speculated about the Earth's possible crucial role as a giant, galactic library -- a huge repository of information stored in the DNA of the myriad species of biological life on this planet. This is not science fiction. Terrestrial, human scientists already know how to do this. Data stored in multiplying bacteria "A message encoded as artificial DNA can be stored within the genomes of multiplying bacteria and then accurately retrieved, US scientists have shown. Who Wants To Be CEO of a Red, White and Blue Kakistocracy? by Richard Sauder, 2008 *Kakistocracy is government by the very worst, least principled, and most incompetent people. You will be forgiven for thinking that the word, kakistocracy, perhaps derives from the word, "caca", itself derived from the Latin, "cacare". In fact, kakistocracy derives from the Greek, kakos, meaning "bad".) Let me make myself clear from the outset: I am not running for President of the United States, I just am *not doing* it, though I am constitutionally fully qualified, and, truth to tell, would be much better for the country in many ways, on many levels, than the current, thug occupant of the White House (notice that I do not refer to him as "President"). But, no, I really and truly do not aspire to be President of this godforsaken Kakistan masquerading as the USA. Now that that crucial non-announcement is out of the way, permit me to set forth a couple of the many reasons for my subdued, cyberspace non-campaign for the Oval Office..... |

The Health Show #1285
By Bob Barrett
It's no secret that obesity continues to be one of the most pressing health problems in the US...and researchers are continuing to study the problem. What's to study, eat less and exercise, right? Well, sometimes it goes deeper than that. On today's Health Show, we'll talk to a clinical scientist about the chemistry of obesity.
We'll also hear about the science of sleep and sleep deprivation by someone who was on a quest to understand his own sleeping disorder.

I have tried to make matcha I want to be able to make matcha – I watched videos, I read steepster reviews, I am seeing conflicting information and so I went for it and did 1/4 c water 2 scoops matcha powder that didnt work was too dark and murky and tasted odd. ( I have had matcha a few times so have a little bit of an idea what it should taste like ). Then I tried less matcha more water … no go. I just don't know what I am doing wrong and which video or review to believe on how to make it. No rating – not the matcha's fault. I also tried two different brands this and one from enjoyingtea.com
Shiki Matcha Powder
Maeda-en's Shiki Matcha is not only great in Usu-cha style preparations, but it's also delicious in baked goods as well!
To brew Usu-cha style, whisk 1/2 tsp of Matcha with 1/2 cup of hot water with a softened bamboo whisk (or a latte frother). Then take your cup to your favorite spot and savor the moment.

The file or directory C:\Temp Files\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\xxxxxxxx is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility.
[Note 1: xxxxxxxx is a random alphanumerc value, like DAB167TE etc.
Note 2: The path that its pointing to is my chosen path for storing temp files in IE8.]
On the next reboot, the Chkdsk runs automatically and invariably finds no errors.
I have had this error for a couple months now, didn't happen before that. I am guessing here but I think the message started appearing soon after I installed Webroot Spy Sweeper on the PC (I previously had Spy Sweeper w/AntiVirus which was uninstalled when the subscription ran out and replaced by Spy Sweeper). Again, that's just a guess, its hard to find cause and effect.
I have already "Repaired" my installation of Windows Live Essentials; it hasn't helped. Does someone have any insight into why I get this redundant message and how to fix the issue?

DTNA the most successful truck manufacturer in Classes 6 – 8 in the NAFTA region, with sales of over 67,800 units and a market share of 31.6 percent
DTNA also the leader in the U.S., with sales of about 57,000 trucks and a market share of 32.6 percent
Stuttgart/Portland - Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is the market leader in the segment for heavy-duty trucks of Classes 6 – 8 in the U.S. and in the other areas of the NAFTA region. The company announced that DTNA succeeded in boosting its sales of trucks in Classes 6 – 8 in 2010 in the NAFTA region to over 67,800 units. This takes DTNA's market share to 31.6 percent. The manufacturer increased its market share by two percentage points compared to 2009, when it sold about 55,200 trucks. DTNA also recorded a very positive development in sales in the U.S. market alone. In Classes 6 – 8 the company sold about 57,000 units (2009: 46,800) and is the most successful supplier in this segment with a market share of 32.6 percent (2009: 30 percent).
"Our sales success in 2010 exceeded the market development. Whereas the results for the market as a whole were only slightly better than those for the crisis year 2009, Daimler benefited from the very high degree of customer acceptance of our tried and tested BlueTec exhaust technology," said Martin Daum, President and CEO of DTNA.
And DTNA's business in Class 8 developed even more positively. In 2010 DTNA's market share in the NAFTA region overall was 32.4 percent (2009: 30.9 percent) and in the U.S. its market share was 33.9 percent (2009: 31.2 percent). Thanks to this performance, DTNA has even further increased its market leadership in this segment.

Topic: Board Size for my son Posted: Dec/15/2011 at 10:44pm |
I am trying to purchase a snowboard for my son for Christmas. He is 15 and a little short. He is 5'6 and weighs 122 pds. He does play water polo and is pretty strong. His skill level is intermediate to advanced. He likes riding all mountain, but is beginning to do some freestyle and park riding. We have been researching boards and we are having a difficult time finding a board that is under 151. We have been looking at the Never Summer Proto Ct and the Never Summer SL. We have also been looking at the Gnu Rider's Choice. The shortest size for these boards are 151-152. The Gnu Riders Choice has a weight range from 100-160 (or 170). I understand that Never Summer does not post a sizing chart, but that EVO has created one for these boards. The range for the 151 and 152 NS boards we are looking at is 110-160. I am concerned that the boards may be too long for him. Can you advise? Thanks!!! |

Abstract | Expert witnesses, such as engineers, often are hired by lawyers to provide evidence in support of his client's accident claim. While expert witnesses are usually offered a flat fee for services, there is a temptation to leave out information in a report so the expert witness can charge a further fee for further clarifying calculations or explanations. |

Rigaud Candles
Way back in 1852, JBF Rigaud changed the perfumery world by introducing new fragrances and obtaining sole rights to certain scents from King Louis XVIII of France. The Rigaud family developed luxury fragrances and quickly became the leading perfumers of their day. The first candles in the Rigaud line were developed in 1950 by Madame Rigaud who wished to make candles with wonderful environmental fragrances. The great achievement that Madame Rigaud made was perfectly combining fragrance and wax in a candle that would slowly release Rigaud fragrances over a long period of time. The Demi candles burn for 25 hours and are the most elegantly scented candles you'll find. The Cypres candle was created over 100 years ago to fill the air of Madam Rigauds fashion boutique on the Champs Elysees in Paris. As Madam Rigauds customers noticed the refreshing scent of the Cypres candle, they insisted on purchasing one for their homes, and thus the Rigaud candle collection was born. The Rigaud candle collection is known around the globe and is loved by Julia Roberts, Julie Andrews, Elton John, and the late Frank Sinatra. Even the White House has been home to these candles since Jackie Kennedy introduced them to her husband.

Summary: Are you an AMD user who was planning on upgrading to a GeForce 8800 GTX or 8800 GTS sometime in the near future? If so, then you'll want to check out today's article. We've gathered AMD CPUs ranging from the X2 3800+ all the way up to the FX-62, and paired them with the GeForce 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS, as well as ATI's Radeon X1950 XTX. See which clocks deliver the best performance with these GPUs in this article!
NVIDIA has incorporated new features such as a unified shader architecture with up to 128 stream processors in the GeForce 8800 GTX, which also has a 384-bit memory interface running at 900MHz with 768MB of memory. This pales in comparison to the GeForce 7900 GTX, which featured 24 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders, as well as a narrower 256-bit memory interface. With so much graphics horsepower onboard GeForce 8800 however, some potential 8800 card owners may run into cases where the card isn't running to its full potential and won't see these huge performance scaling increases, the card isn't able to "stretch its legs" so to speak. This can occur frequently in games that are based on aging game engines. Sports titles for instance are often based on the same rehashed game engine year after year. In some cases, performance can even be held back due to a game that's poorly coded. But software isn't the only aspect that can hold back a next-gen card at launch, another culprit is often the CPU. Quite simply, with next-gen graphics processors delivering 1.5-2X times more performance than their predecessors at launch, the CPU can become a bottleneck in many titles we test with. After all, the clock speed of new CPUs tends to only increase in increments of 100-200MHz; only delivering about 10% more performance with each new processor release. You can see this in benchmarks where you hit the same frame rate regardless of graphics settings (such as increasing screen resolution from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200). As soon as a faster CPU is inserted, your frame rates increase. This is a situation you'd like to avoid if you've just plunked down $700 on a brand new 8800 GTX graphics card, as you're not getting the most from your money (although being CPU-limited does allow you to crank up the image quality settings for "free", as you won't get the performance hit usually associated with these setting changes). Intel's latest Core 2 CPUs are based on an entirely new micro-architecture, with a wider execution core, 1,066MHz FSB and unified L2 cache architecture with up to 4MB on-chip. As a result, Core 2 delivers substantially more performance than any previous processor from AMD or Intel, including AMD's flagship Athlon 64 FX-62. This makes the Core 2 Extreme X6800 we tested with in our GeForce 8800 Performance Preview article an excellent companion for NVIDIA's latest GeForce cards, but what about the millions of AMD users out there? Is the GeForce 8800 GTX still capable of outrunning the Radeon X1950 XTX by a factor of 2X on an Athlon 64 X2 4200+? What about the 5000+? Many of you have asked us this very question, and today we're here to provide some answers. We've included AMD CPUs ranging from the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ all the way up to the Athlon 64 FX-62 to see how the GeForce 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS, as well as ATI's Radeon X1950 XTX scale with these CPUs…
System Setup
Half-Life 2 Lost Coast
While we're limiting our testing to AMD's AM2-based CPUs, which predominantly ship with a 512K L2 cache, we did want to test the performance impact of having a larger 1MB L2 cache for Socket 939 and Athlon 64 X2 5200+ or Opteron 1xx users. In order to accomplish this, we lowered the multiplier on our FX-62 CPU from the factory default setting of 14.0x to 13.0x in order to simulate the performance of a 5200+. This chip was then compared to our stock AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+.
3DMark 06 – Direct3D
As expected, 3DMark scales nicely with faster CPUs thanks to in large part to its dedicated CPU tests. If you look at the game test results however, you will see that both the GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS scale best with the 5000+ and FX-62, the GeForce 8800 GTX/X2 3800+ combination is often outperformed by the GTS with faster X2 CPUs. This test illustrates why its important to have a fast CPU if you plan on going with a GeForce 8800 GTX card.
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast – Direct3D
The GeForce 8800 GTX is largely CPU-bound in Half-Life 2 Lost Coast. As you can see, performance barely changes going from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200 with this GPU, even with the FX-62 we only saw a 3% performance hit. In comparison the X1950 XTX's performance dropped by 19% with the FX-62.
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic – Direct3D
Since it's a little more demanding than Lost Coast, GTX performance scales a little better across the various CPUs in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, although clearly we're still CPU-limited in Dark Messiah with the 4600+, 4200+ and 3800+, and to a slightly lesser extent with the 5000+. Since it has fewer shaders, slower clocks, and a narrower memory interface, the GeForce 8800 GTS isn't nearly as CPU-bound as the GeForce 8800 GTX was in Dark Messiah, performance scales appropriately with each resolution change, the CPU really doesn't become a bottleneck unless you're dealing with a 3800+.
Battlefield 2 – Direct3D
Quake 4 – OpenGL
The GeForce 8800 GTX is largely CPU-bound with all the processors we tested in Quake 4, even at 1920x1200 the GTX's performance only drops 4% from 1280x1024 on the FX-62. It looks like AMD's CPUs just aren't fast enough to keep the GPU fed with data in this particular game. Note however that the GeForce 8800 GTX still enjoys a comfortable performance advantage over the GeForce 8800 GTS and Radeon X1950 XTX at 1600x1200 and up.
Lock On: Modern Air Combat – Direct3D
Even in a flight sim like LOMAC, the GeForce 8800 GTX is CPU-bound with pretty much all of AMD's CPUs, including the FX-62 at lower resolutions. Even at 1920x1200 performance is within 7% of the frame rate we saw at 1280x1024 with the GeForce 8800 GTX/FX-62 combination.
F.E.A.R. – Direct3D
The GeForce 8800 cards scale much better under F.E.A.R., even with a slower CPU like the X2 3800+. This bodes well for the GTX under more shader-intensive titles we're likely to see in 2007 such as Crysis and Unreal Tournament 2007. The GeForce 8800 GTX and Radeon X1950 XTX perform neck-and-neck with each other in this game, we also saw this earlier this month with the Core 2 Extreme CPU.
Oblivion – Direct3D
Like our results with F.E.A.R., Oblivion scales well with the GeForce 8800 GTX, even with slower CPUs like the X2 3800+.
Oblivion – Direct3D
Under the greater demands of our foliage area, we're entirely GPU-bound. This means that regardless of the CPU used, the GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS delivered the same performance at the various resolutions. This probably comes as good news to those of you with slower AMD CPUs.
Call of Duty 2 – Direct3D
Once again we're GPU-bound rather than CPU-bound in Call of Duty 2. Regardless of the CPU used, performance was the same across both the GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS.
Far Cry – Direct3D
Company of Heroes – Direct3D
Even with a slower CPU like AMD's Athlon 64 X2 3800+, performance scales well, although clearly at the same time we saw higher numbers with the faster CPUs at all resolutions except 1920x1200. At that res we're totally GPU-bound.
The GeForce 8800 GTS is a cut-down derivative of the GeForce 8800 GTX with fewer stream processors, slower clocks, and a 320-bit memory interface with less onboard memory, therefore it doesn't have quite the graphics horsepower as the GeForce 8800 GTX and as a result, it isn't CPU-limited nearly as often as the GeForce 8800 GTX is, although those of you with X2 3800+ and X2 4200+ chips in particular will want to look closely over our results as there are definitely cases where the GTS is CPU-bound with your CPU. The bottom line for those of you with slower AMD X2 CPUs is you're going to want to overclock your processor a little in order to get the best performance out of GeForce 8800. The exact amount you should shoot for is going to depend on which graphics card you plan on getting. If you were thinking about upgrading to a GeForce 8800 GTS, you won't need to hit speeds quite as high; 2.4GHz or more is a good starting point you should shoot for when overclocking. But if you were planning on picking up a GeForce 8800 GTX, our 2.6GHz 5000+ was CPU bound in some cases, so you'll probably want to shoot for even higher speeds. Of course, another aspect we noticed is that the amount you're CPU-bound varies depending on the game. In games based on older game engines like Valve's Source (HL2 and Dark Messiah) and Doom 3 (Quake 4), we found ourselves often CPU-bound with the GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS. Flight sims also draw heavily on CPU performance and therefore it was no surprise to see us being held back in Lock On: Modern Air Combat. In fact if you've got an X2 3800+ running at stock speeds, there's no point in upgrading to a GeForce 8800 GTX, as there were often cases where the 3800+/8800 GTX combination were outrun by the 8800 GTS and a faster CPU like the 4200+ or 4600+. In shader-heavy titles like Oblivion and F.E.A.R. however the GeForce 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS were never CPU-bound. In fact in our foliage test with Oblivion we were 100% GPU-bound, whether we were testing with an X2 3800 or the FX-62, performance was the same across all resolutions, including 1280x1024! Of course, keep in mind that we were testing Oblivion in particular with HDR+AA, so that's going to be harder on the GPU, if we'd turned off AA the results may have been a little different, but we have a strong feeling that anyone who is going to buy a GeForce 8800 card is going to want to run with HDR+AA. In any case, this suggests that perhaps with next-gen shader model 3.0 and DX10 games the CPU won't play as large a role in overall performance, but we'll have to wait and see if that's truly the case when those titles ship. Surprisingly enough, Battlefield 2142, which is based on the same engine used in BF2, scaled well regardless of the CPU used. The Battlefield engine isn't known for its use of shaders, so this definitely surprised us to see. Of course, if you planned on upgrading to GeForce 8800 SLI you'll need an even faster CPU to keep both graphics cards fed with data. Otherwise you won't see the roughly 2X performance improvement NVIDIA's SLI technology typically provides. So there you have it, our take on how things stand with the GeForce 8800 line once it's paired with slower processors. Hopefully you found this article helpful and will be able to better plan your next upgrade accordingly. It certainly takes a lot of time for us to do these articles, but if it helps you guys, that's what it's all about. |

Fuel for Thought
GAMBIER, Ohio (November 16, 2005) True or false: the era of cheap oil is over. True or false: the new economy will run on hydrogen. The correct answer is (C): Such questions are too complex, and too important, for one-word answers. That's why Associate Professor of Chemistry Scott Cummings designed his new course, "Solar Energy." The course, to be offered next semester, will allow non-science majors to grapple--scientifically--with many of the energy issues dominating today's headlines."I don't want to lecture students about what opinions they should have on the issues," says Cummings, who will cover topics ranging from fossil fuels and greenhouse gases to photovoltaics and fuel cells. "I want them to walk away from the course saying 'I'm better prepared to make up my own mind now.'"
"Solar Energy" is one of several innovative courses through which Kenyon professors enable non-majors to explore issues in science and mathematics from a rigorous, quantitative perspective--and have fun doing so. The mathematics department regularly offers "Surprises at Infinity," which immerses students in notions such as the fact that some infinities are bigger than others. A physics course on Einstein uses a "bungee cam" to demonstrate the principle of equivalence, a keystone of the special theory of relativity.
Cummings, whose research interests involve the photochemistry and photophysics of transition metal complexes, is enthused about the opportunity to work with non-majors. "I'm hoping that there's going to be a good synergy between what students will think about in this course and what they'll think about in some other courses in political science, religious studies and sociology."

Vancouver police seek debit card theft suspect
Originally published January 24, 2013 at 12:45 p.m., updated January 24, 2013 at 9:25 p.m.
Vancouver police are asking for help in identifying a suspect who stole a wallet from the Firstenburg Community Center and made fraudulent charges.
On Jan. 7 police were dispatched to Firstenburg at 700 N.E. 136th Ave., where the victim said his wallet was stolen from his gym bag while he briefly left it unattended in the locker room, according to a news release from the Vancouver Police Department.
Fraudulent charges totalling more than $900 were made on his credit card at two local retailers, the news release said.
Surveillance video from one of the stores shows the individual who made the fraudulent charges.
Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect is asked to call the Vancouver Police Department at 360-487-7355 and reference case No. V13-373.

Bids may soon be sought for water meters
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013 @ 3:52 pm
E-mail Story
Print Story
Ferriday Mayor Gene Allen said he expects the town to be advertising for bids for water meters in the next three months following a meeting last week with the USDA.
The government agency previously agreed to provide a grant and loan to build a new water plant and upgrade the town's water system infrastructure. But the town must meet USDA guidelines before all paperwork is completed.
After two previously scheduled meetings were postponed due to bad weather earlier this month, Allen met with the USDA officials on Jan. 23 at town hall where they discussed completing paperwork required by USDA to purchase new water meters through a grant.
"It was a very good meeting," Allen said. "We were a long way apart before this meeting and now we are very close. We've got all our paperwork in order and we're ready to move forward. I believe in the next three months we will be bidding out for meters and the whole project."
Glen Womack of JCP Management of Harrisonburg also attended the meeting. JCP is under contract as a third party to operate the town's water system. This third party operator is one of USDA's requirements from the town in order to receive a $5 million loan for the water system and a $1.4 million grant for the water wells.
Allen said the new meters should be in place in six months.
"As soon as we can get the bids out, it will be 30 more days before we can put them in," Allen said. "I'm ready to get this thing done. The one thing I wanted to accomplish is getting Ferriday's water problems solved. We are a lot closer now."
Allen said if the town had been unable to get permission to advertise for the meters he would have borrowed some from the Town of Jonesville. The Jonesville Town Council had previously agreed to the assist the town.
Allen said that will not be necessary now that the town is close to completing its required USDA paperwork to move forward on its own.

MARTINSVILLE For the better part of 70 minutes yesterday, the Notre Dame High boys soccer team dreamed of an upset at Miller Bugliari World Cup Field.
The fourth-seeded Irish had held their own against top-seeded Pingry and actually led at halftime.
But when Big Blue sophomore Roberto De Almeida ripped a goal into the nets upper-90 for his second goal of the game with 10:11 left, it spoiled NDs spirited effort as Pingry went on to win, 4-2, and knock coach Mike Perones team out of the NJSIAA Non-Public A South Tournament in the semifinal round.
We were expecting them to have a really good offense, Notre Dame senior fullback Shane Mackinnon said. You can tell these guys have been playing together for a while. They were good.
Using a relentless attack, the Big Blue kept the pressure on NDs net throughout. Yet it was the Irish who took the lead when a ball which skimmed off the head of Jake Nerwinski hit a defender and went into Pingrys goal two minutes into the game. The goal was Nerwinskis 21st of the season, tying him with Henry Zawodniak for Notre Dames single-season scoring record.
It was really exciting, Mackinnon said of being up, 1-0, at the half. But we had to keep holding them, and we failed to do that.
Mackinnon, his classmate Evan Byrnes, and juniors Todd Oakley and Brian Vidal did their best to keep the ball away from the net, but the Big Blue kept charging junior goalkeeper Jamie Galazin in waves. In fact, with the Irish still holding the lead 3:15 into the second half, Pingrys Spencer Bianco struck the crossbar. It was a sign of trouble to come.
I tried to push him to his left foot because he was way better with his right foot, Mackinnon said of his matchup with Pingrys tireless forward Cameron Kirdzik. From there, I just tried to dispossess him and get the ball up field.
Kirdzik started a play 4:29 after intermission on which De Almeida followed a shot by Brian Costa to tie the game. Then 1:47 later, Bianco centered a pass through the goal crease on which Kirdzik turned and knocked it in as he slid to the ground at the far post.
They kept the pressure on us, but our defense was making it tough on them, Galazin said. They had a couple (goals) which sneaked in. The last one was the only shot that was really unstoppable.
Before the game slipped, Notre Dame surprised the Big Blue when Nerwinski led sophomore Brian Hawkins for a goal with 32:50 remaining to knot the score at 2.
Although the Big Blue hit the post with 29:20 left, they did not regain the lead until Christian Fechter redirected a Bianco lead which bounced past Galazin with 18:53 to play. The closest ND came to scoring after that was when Pingry goalkeeper Max Lurie leaped to knock a ball off the head of Hawkins in front of the net with 4:30 remaining.
We were hoping we could go pretty far in the tournament, Mackinnon said. I think the entire season was pretty successful.
We did have a good season, Galazin said. We kept fighting even as we dealt with injuries. This is farther than we have gone in a while. Next year, were planning to do even better.
Notre Dame (11-8-1)11-2
Goals-ND: Nerwinski (own goal), Hawkins; P: De Almeida 2, Kirdzik, Fechter. Assists-ND: Nerwinski; P: Costa, Bianco 2.

Alumni Game Update
Notre Dames boys soccer program will hold its annual Alumni Game at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21 at Msgr. Walter E. Nolan Field on campus. Alumni looking to play should try to arrive at the field early to go through coach Perones rigorous pre-game training. For more information, please call (609) 882-7802.

The Southeast Asian country of Cambodia borders the South China Sea and is surrounded by Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. The maternal mortality ratio in 2008 was 290 deaths per 100,000 live births, but has been show to be as high as 493 deaths per 100,000 live births in rural areas. Over the last decade, the Cambodian government has increased the availability of reproductive health services, but there is still great need for services among expecting mothers in rural areas. A national program is working to narrow the gaps in care, decrease the urban-rural disparities, and educate community-based health workers to provide lifesaving maternal care. The Reproductive and Child Health Alliance (RACHA) was established in 2003 with funding from USAID for 5 years. Since 2008, it has expanded its funding and partnerships to include Population Services International (PSI), the Reproductive Health Association of Cambodia, and University Research Company LLC in their programming.
RACHA directly collaborates with the Cambodian Ministry of Health (MoH) and other partners to strengthen and train the healthcare workforce and disperse community health educators in the rural provinces. The program has set high goals for its target population by 2013: To reduce maternal mortality by 25 percent; to increase modern contraceptive prevalence by 25 percent; and to reduce HIV prevalence in sexually active populations by 10 percent. So far, RACHA has expanded its program coverage from 4 to 8 rural provinces, covering 164 health centers, 2,329 villages, 259 communes, and serving an estimate population of more than 2 million people.
At the core of the RACHA's safe motherhood program is the Basic Life Saving Skills training (LSS) which trains primary and secondary midwives from rural health centers. These midwives—the most common maternal healthcare providers outside of hospitals—learn the key maternal health interventions such as nutritional antenatal care, essential newborn care, immediate breastfeeding, trained delivery, referral service communication, and birth spacing. The midwives and the community health workers in the program also encourage patients to get tested for HIV at local sites and educate about PMTCT, HIV prevention, and treatment. Since the start of RACHA's safe motherhood program in 2003, over 54,390 babies have been successfully delivered.
RACHA has experienced great success in the dissemination of trained health care workers and the integration of these trainings with MoH services and facilities. The program is an excellent example of cross-sector partnerships and successfully building upon existing government health programs to reach rural women.

Back from being on the road most of the day, reporting a story that will come out in the coming days, so I'm just now getting to the news of the day. Which is: North Carolina earlier Monday picked up another commitment from a top prospect in the class of 2014.
Not too long ago, it was Joel Berry, the point guard from Orlando, Fla. And this time, it's Justin Jackson, a 6-foot-7 small forward from Spring, Texas. ESPN.com ranks Jackson as the 14th best prospect in the junior class, and third-best prospect at his position.
Jackson announced his decision on Twitter.
Barring any attrition other than James Michael McAdoo leaving early for the NBA (which you probably have to think will happen either after this year or next), Jackson and Berry will be freshmen when Marcus Paige, Joel James, Brice Johnson and J.P. Tokoto are juniors. P.J. Hairston, Desmond Hubert and Jackson Simmons would be seniors. Nate Britt, Isaiah Hicks and Kennedy Meeks, all of whom will be incoming freshmen next season, would be sophomores.
By then, if everyone stays (aside from McAdoo), UNC's depth chart could look something like this:
PG: Paige, Berry, Britt
SG/SF: Hairston, Jackson
SG/SF: Hicks, Tokoto
PF: Johnson, James, Simmons
C: Meeks, Hubert
Of course, predicting how a college basketball roster might look two seasons down the road isn't all that fruitful of a venture these days. Regardless, UNC is off to a strong start with its junior class recruiting.
The Tar Heels are the only team in the country with two commitments from top-15 players, according to ESPN.

Totally addicted to Pinterest. I haven't figured out why unless it's just to make sure that somebody doesn't know about cool stuff that I need to know about. Like the candy bouquet for instance, I needed favors for my dad's 80th birthday and thanks to you and Pinterest I can create some to share with guests. By the way, I love the font that you used for "Candy Bar Bouquet".
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a candy bar bouquet-so fun! I love that you can really personalize it to fit any event by the paper your wrap the candy bars in. I would love if you would share this at my August, "It's a Celebration" link party!

My husband loves candy bars, but doesn't eat them often. I'm thinking Father's Day and changing the colors to look a little more masculine. I think my son will love helping me make this. Thank You for the fun and tasty idea!

Recalled Trucks Burn as Ford Fiddles
In recent years, Ford Trucks have been the target of a massive recall. Yet some of the models - including some not on the recall list - continue to catch fire and burn. Consumer Affairs first started examining fires in Ford trucks and SUVs in 2003, "citing instance after instance of trucks spontaneously bursting into flame, often while parked and unattended." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ordered a recall of an estimated 3.8 million Ford trucks from the 1994-2002 models, but the recall moved slowly as Ford cited delays in getting replacement parts. And as trucks continued to catch fire, so did consumer complaints, which were "stonewalled" by Ford. In addition, some people's 2003 models were prone to fire, but when their trucks burst into flame and were ruined, they were informed that there is no recall protocol for 2003 models.

In the last few years, there's been an heigtened demand for organic products, particularly for organic baby products. Parents naturally want the best for their babies and organic baby stores in Valdese stock everything they need to keep their bundles of joy happy and healthy.
Valdese organic baby stores sell products that aren't created using toxins and chemicals. So the most significant benefit of organic baby products is that they are healthier and have a reduced risk of triggering side effects like allergic reactions.
Eco-friendly parents also like the fact that organic baby products are also better for the environment. Cotton utilized to make cloth for organic baby clothes, for instance, aren't treated with incesticides and chemicals that affect much more than the cotton crop.
Products in Valdese Organic Baby Stores
As a greater number of parents come to realize the importance of going organic, many more organic baby products are being made available in stores across the country. Today, parents can find an organic option for almost anything.
In-demand organic baby products are:
- Baby clothes
- Toys
- Baby food
- Bedding
- Bath products
- Diapers
- Lotions and Creams
- Powder
Manufacturers can only label their baby products organic if they have been granted organic certification. One thing to keep in mind is that unlike organic products, 'all natural' products are not regulated by the FDA. Parents that are contemplating an 'all natural' product should carefully look over the ingredients and/or label to determine whether an organic option is the right choice.
Well Known Organic Baby Stores in Valdese
Burt's Bees is a popular brand of personal organic products, including organic baby products. Their products can be found in well established stores around the country such as Target.
Baby Earth is an online organic baby store that specializes in all natural and organic baby products from a variety of providers.
Whole Foods Market has been a top provider of organic products since 1980, and there is no shortage of organic baby products in their stores.
The Organic Consumers Association and the Organic Information Center are also great resources for researching various organic products and services, including organic baby stores.
Investing in organic products, particularly food and hygiene products, when children are in the early stages of development is an investment worth making. As organic baby products grow in popularity parents can expect to find more local and online organic baby stores in Valdese to shop at and more affordable prices as well.

Settlement patterns
Most of the population live on the coastal plain, and progressively fewer people are found farther inland. Rural villages are sited according to water supply and the availability of land, frequently including terraced agriculture in the mountains. Northern villages are relatively prosperous and have some modern architecture. Villages in the south have been generally poorer and less stable: local agricultural land is less fertile, and, because of their proximity to Israel, many villages have been subject to frequent dislocation, invasion, and destruction since 1975. Most cities are located on the coast; they have been inundated by migrants and displaced persons, and numerous, often poor, suburbs have been created as a result. Before 1975 many villages and cities were composed of several different religious groups, usually living together in harmony, and rural architecture reflected a unity of style irrespective of religious identity. Since the civil war began, a realignment has moved thousands of Christians north of Beirut along the coast and thousands of Muslims south or east of Beirut; thus, settlement patterns reflect the chasms separating sections of the Lebanese people from each other.
Demographic trends
Lebanon's birth rate is slightly below the world's average, while its death rate is roughly half the global average. Almost one-third of the population is under age 15, with more than one-half under age 30. Life expectancy in Lebanon is higher than both the regional and world averages. One of the most salient demographic features of Lebanon is the uneven distribution of its population. The country's overall density varies regionally and is on the whole much lower than that of Beirut and the surrounding area but much higher than that of the most sparsely populated Al-Biqāʿ valley.
Before the civil war began, the movement of people from rural areas was a major factor in the country's soaring rate of urbanization. Most of the internal migration was to Beirut, which accounted for the great majority of Lebanon's urban population. The civil war led to a substantial return of people to their villages and to a large migration abroad, primarily to the United States, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and parts of the Middle East; within Lebanon, it also led to a process of population dispersal and exchange in many areas that had previously been characterized by the coexistence of Christians and Muslims, and postwar efforts to reverse this process through programs meant to resettle the displaced were not immediately successful. Following the warfare between Hezbollah (Lebanese Shīʿite militia group and political party) and Israeli armed forces in 2006, many more Lebanese citizens—an estimated one million residents, particularly those living in the country's south—were displaced from their homes.
In the years before the outbreak of civil war, Lebanon enjoyed status as a regional and commercial centre. The Lebanese economy was characterized by a minimum of government intervention in private enterprise combined with an income- and profit-tax-free environment. Although imports far outstripped exports, elements such as tourism and remittances from labourers working abroad helped balance the trade deficit. Income was generally on the rise, and Lebanese products were finding a place on the international market.
For the first 10 years of the civil war, the Lebanese economy proved remarkably resilient; after the mid-1980s, however, the value of the Lebanese pound plummeted as the continued destruction of the country's infrastructure took its toll. After the civil war, Lebanon embarked on an ambitious program of social and economic reconstruction that entailed extensive renovation of the country's flagging infrastructure. Initiated by Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri in the 1990s, it aimed to revive Beirut as a regional financial and commercial centre. Beirut's reconstruction program made considerable progress in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, albeit at the expense of an increasing internal and external governmental debt load: much of the rebuilding program was financed through internal borrowing, which led to the emergence of both budget deficits and a growing public debt. Yet, to attract and encourage investment, tax rates were reduced. This led to severe budgetary austerity, resulting in only limited investment in Lebanon's social infrastructure and a growing reliance on regressive indirect taxation to meet budgetary shortfalls. Hence, while a fraction of Lebanese became very rich in postwar Lebanon, at the beginning of the 21st century some one-third of the Lebanese population lived below the poverty line.

Brookline Hair Cuttery Donates Back to School Haircuts to Local Kids in Need
Children receiving a back-to-school haircut at the Hair Cuttery salon in Brookline during the first two weeks of August will be giving one back to a disadvantaged child in the community. Hair Cuttery, the largest family-owned and operated chain of hair salons in the country, will launch its 13th annual Share A Haircut program to provide children in need with a fresh haircut to start the new school year.
From August 1st through August 15th, every time a child (18 years old or younger) receives a haircut at any of the Hair Cuttery salons in New England, including the salon in Brookline, a free hair cut will be donated to a disadvantaged child in the community. Hair Cuttery is partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families to distribute the haircuts.
"We expect 75,000 haircuts to be donated in communities across the country to children in need," said Dennis Ratner, Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. "We're proud to offer this program that gives children the opportunity to help other kids in the community. A simple haircut can make a big difference in a child's appearance and gives students more confidence as they start the school year."
Nearly 900 salons nationwide will participate in Share A Haircut. Hair Cuttery has donated more than 625,000 haircuts since the program's inception in 1999.
