I did my part and voted. You better win then reward all of us for the support. ;)
Can you like post your skit here?I just realized I never saw it because the contest is kicking me in the quebecer nads.
Get boyfriend and friends to vote too!! I need a win in my life and I want this win while drawing things. D:
When I was a kid there was a childrens hour after school on ITV and the girl across the street from me, Sarah, got her name read out because she won the competition I also took part in, and because I was so sad my mum went out and bought me the same prize (a big crayon box) and said that I won too, but they just forgot to read out my name.Sooooo, the only thing I've ever won I didn't actually win, but probably means more because my mum did something adorable.
Maybe we should do the same for Dice just in case? :3
Quote from: Dice on June 08, 2013, 09:26:59 PMGet boyfriend and friends to vote too!! I need a win in my life and I want this win while drawing things. D:Now that I think about it, the only thing I won in a contest was a big stocking full of toys--I was a kid, shush--from Burger King when they did those winter contests.Also, hope you win! You should post your entry here :3
I won... a free pack of Starbursts from a sweepstakes once? Yay? Also a couple of really small review-writing contests iin the fairly distant past, but those didn't have any prizes or anything.For what it's worth, Dice, I would have voted for your skit whether or not this thread existed....and if I knew about the contest, and cared enough to vote.
What's the tally?Also, you didn't spell "gold" correctly. Maybe it's different in Canada?

I've had this compact for a little while now, and it's taken me quite a bit to get it together. But here it is! RMK's new powder foundation base in 104L:
I am a big fan of RMK base products. For me, RMK, Chanel, Armani (face fabric foundation) make the best base products, and my new dabble in Illamaqua is also going very well.
Did I tell you how badly I want Chanel's Mat Lumiere Liquid Foundation? I got a sachet sample and tried it out the other day – it is divine and it lasted all day. And it just blended away, like *that. Never underestimate Chanel products.
I mean, the CEO at work told me that day that I looked like 'the girl from James Bond'…who? Olga Kurelniko? The most recent bond girl? Dark hair? Has an accent? Yes? YES!!! I love Olga!
However, Mat Lumiere is £40* smackers…mmmm, let me think about it.
*The girl on the counter said it was £40. I just checked online and its £25! Muhahahahahahaha. I would have paid £40 for it! Did you hear that Chanel! You could have ripped me off!
RMK's new powder foundation comes with a sponge and a brush – clever! Sponge for first application, brush for lighter touch ups.
I don't actually know why I buy SO MANY powder foundations because although my skin gets a bit oily in the day, it's not my main problem and I'd rather have a bit of shine than overly taut skin. Also I HATE the powdery finish on ANYONE. You know when the powder settles on someone's nose and you can see it from the side when the light shines?
I used to share the bus to Uni with a pretty french-british girl who had the worst dark eye circles I have ever seen and every morning she'd pull out her green Clinique powder and whack some over her face, all over her nose, missing out the creases by her nostrils. And the powder, the powder! Everywhere. Dry, Cakey. I wanted to sneeze on her just to add some moisture to her face*
*I didn't. That would be gross.
Anyway, here it is. This powder foundation has two sections, the main colour and a highlight – shimmery powder to add highlights and a glow.
The shades match up with the current foundation range – I am a 104 so I got the 104L which I think seems a tad darker.
Here is the brush in the pouch, which I have already lost:
Do I like it? Well. It's alright. But that's it.
RMK base products are not cheap at all – you are looking at around £20 for primers, £30 for foundations I think this one was over £32 (I can't quite remember now!) so it is EXPENSIVE. But unlike say the Creamy Foundation which is brilliant, I found myself using this and thinking – well…it's just another powder foundation. The packaging is ok, the product is good…the whole thing is rather….what's the word? Unprogressed. Yes I know it's not a proper word, but I'm using it. If you already have an impressive base range then you need to produce products that are impressiver (also not a word), right? Otherwise what's the point?
I don't know what's up with RMK lately. The products are sending me to sleep and I really dislike how unpigmented a lot of the products are (especially from the Spring range) – bear in mind RMK is NOT cheap at ALL.
The glosses and lipsticks are always stunning but everything is….unmemorable. Oh, how I wish we could return things in the UK without being verbally abused and escorted out of shops (and that's just by the other half).

During his near-decade of power, Pervez Musharraf introduced many different pieces of legislation. The public at large admonished some laws, while few regulations were applauded. However, one ordinance in particular, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA), signed in to law by 2002 is (should be) praised by all. The said ordinance not only capsized Musharraf's regime, but has also brought a vibrant and dynamic media sector to Pakistan. The beauty of an independent media, free from the ownership of the state, provides room for an accountability mechanism in a democratic setup. Unfortunately the power players in Pakistan have not been able to understand and utilize this powerful domain.

Hospital Bills for a Stereotactic Biopsy
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I was diagnosed breast cancer last month. They performed a stereotactic biopsy. The hospital told me that the procedure was a minimum of $1150.00. When I received my bill it was for $2209.00. Since I do not have any insurance, I was overwhelmed by this bill.
Is this what is a normal charge for this procedure? The doctors have recommended a mastectomy. I can't begin to wonder what the charges will be for the recommended mastectomy.
Everyone I have contacted, does not have any financial assistance for a person in my predicament. Is a person supposed to roll over and die?
Thanks for listening.
Stuart Klein, OncoLink's Administrative Advisor, responds:
Regretfully, there is currently no "normal charge" for hospital or physician services. Since there is no uniform pricing, hospital and physician charges can vary greatly by region, and can even vary within the same region. Many hospitals and physicians are willing to work with uninsured patients by establishing long term payment plans. In addition, they may be willing to offer you a "discount" since they currently collect 100% of charges from very few insurers. A good starting point would be to negotiate a discount similar to what they would expect to receive from Medicare or Medicaid.
Identifying resources to help pay for your treatment is difficult task. We suggest that you start by contacting your local branch of the American Cancer Society. They should be able to assist you in identifying local and or national resources. Also, contact your state's office, which covers the Medical Assistance Program to determine your state's eligibility requirements. We also suggest that you contact your local, state and federal legislators' office to seek their assistance in helping you with this problem.

As the Oakland Raiders approach Sunday's season opener, they are digging deep for their fourth starting left tackle since training camp opened in late July.
Second-round draft pick Menelik Watson, who showed promising signs in the preseason finale, has been ruled out for Week 1 with a knee injury, the team announced.
The Raiders previously had thrown in the towel on swinging gate Alex Barron after losing starter Jared Veldheer to triceps surgery in mid-August.
Against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, right tackle Khalif Barnes will slide over to Terrelle Pryor's blind side while newly signed veteran Tony Pashos enters the lineup on the right side.
If this was September of 2008, the Raiders would be in fine shape. Then with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Barnes and Pashos paved the way for 236 rushing yards while allowing no sacks in a 23-21 victory at Indianapolis. Six years later, both offensive tackles simply are trying to keep their careers afloat.
Entering the season, the Raiders' offensive line might be rivaled only by the Raiders' quarterbacks as the weakest position group in the league. It's going to be a long season in Oakland.
On the bright side, Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater looks even better this year than last.

Southwest Public Libraries collects approximately $2.5 million each year from a 1 mill property tax levy that was approved by voters in November, 2010. This property tax is for 10 years. Prior to the November, 2010 passage of the property tax levy, SPL had never received any money from a local tax and relied exclusively on funding from the State of Ohio.
Southwest Public Libraries receives funding from two primary sources. The first is the Public Library Fund, which is funded by the State of Ohio and consists of 1.95% of General Revenue Fund taxes collected by the state. This fund provides approximately half of SPL's funding and has been cut significantly over the past decade. The other primary source of funding is the 1 mill property tax approved by voters in November, 2010. Money collected from library fines, fees, donations, and interest earned on investments accounts for less than 5% of SPL's funding.

I thought, there but for the grace of God, go I. Go we all.
Or words to that effect.
I thought it while reading a lengthy collection of information that police had submitted to obtain a search warrant in a recent St. John's murder case.
It was a small part of the document, a section, really, about what we all become.
Investigators went to the hospital where the victim had been declared dead to collect four bags of his personal effects: as the dry language of the police report put it, "A plastic white and blue 'Patient Belongings' bag with white drawstring. Inside there was a brown paper bag, exhibits inside, striped blue piece of cloth." Another "Patient Belongings" with a plastic bag containing a wallet and another bag containing a pair of brown Rockport shoes, and "two socks that were inside out." A pair of jeans. Long johns. A belt. You can probably picture it: a sad, small collection indeed.
I know this is not traditional holiday fare — but maybe it should be, lest we take all of the good for granted.
Anyone who has had a close relative or parent pass away, and who has been charged with the responsibility for their personal effects, knows how pitifully small those effects actually are. The wristwatch their parent has always worn, a pair of creased and scuffed shoes, rings, a familiar sweater — every one of them something that you can remember as an integral part of the person you knew. But not the person. Even their familiar smell fades rapidly.
It's a moment that hits home: a corporal presence has vanished, as if it simply shed all of its artificial, man-made layers and disappeared. It isn't the end of mourning — no, it is the beginning, guaranteed to be followed by the complications and guilt and hollowness that rain down afterwards.
It's also a reminder that we all will leave in exactly the same way, naked in the bodies we arrived in — and a reminder that none of us know precisely when that leaving will happen.
You're here, near the end of this year, reading this. I am, too.
But there's no telling if you, or I, will be at the end of the next one.
It's a moment that hits home: a corporal presence has vanished, as if it simply shed all of its artificial, man-made layers and disappeared.
It's all the more reason not to hold grudges or fight long-running battles over slights or imagined insults. All the more reason to not wait to do the things you want to do, and to make the most of the short spans of lives we're lucky enough to have. All the more reason to see and hear and taste and smell and live and love, for every single day you can.
You might not be the victim of an armed robbery — you might have a heart attack, or an automobile accident, or meet up with any number of other life-ending medical issues. You don't know if you'll wake up tomorrow.
I mean, you could go on into 2018 like every other day, putting one foot in front of the other, bitter as always and watching days tick off your personal clock.
But if you do, stop, stand up, and take an inventory of the things you're wearing right now that would be left behind. For me, shirt, shoes, socks. Underwear, glasses, belt and rings. Keys, wallet, and a company cellphone with a number that will probably quickly be assigned to someone else. It's a painfully short list, a grocery store bag's worth and nothing more.
Oh, and the fading, soon-to-be-ephemeral regrets that we will no longer have any chance to undo.
It's almost a new year. Make something of it, would you?

Kenneth "Ken" Moore Whisenhunt (born February 28, 1962) is the current head coach of the Arizona Cardinals NFL football team, leading them to the first Super Bowl in franchise history during the 2008 season. Previously, he was known for his well engineered offensive plays, including the success he had with the Pittsburgh Steelers in his 3 years as their offensive coordinator under Bill Cowher and winning Super Bowl XL during the 2005 season.
After attending the Academy of Richmond County in Augusta, Georgia for high school, Whisenhunt played college football at Georgia Tech (1980–84), where he graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. During his senior season, he was an honorable mention All-American. He also finished first team all-ACC during his final two college seasons.
Whisenhunt's career as a player included 4 years (1985–88) as a tight end with the Atlanta Falcons, who drafted him in the twelfth round, and then spells with the Washington Redskins and New York Jets. He retired from the league in 1993 after nine seasons in which he was mostly known as a blocking back.

Midway through the second half of Oceanside's 2-0 victory at Farmingdale last Saturday, senior goalkeeper Ryan Gura gently tapped three spare balls off the back of the net behind him.
The gesture was part-necessity, part-superstition. "The refs usually don't want the extra balls sitting on the net," Gura said. "I don't like seeing a ball there, either."
No ball in play found its way past Gura, who made five of his six saves in the second half, including three from close range, to preserve an important win. Junior Angelo Maffetone scored 8:43 into the game and junior Anthony Vitta added an insurance goal with 10:25 remaining as Oceanside (2-5 overall) picked up three crucial points in the Conference AA-I standings.
"It's such a big win," Sailors coach Chuck Phelan said. "We had to get this one if we wanted to start making a push for the playoffs.
"We've got one more game before the cycle starts over, and I think we're getting better. We could easily be on a three-game winning streak right now."
After failing to score in its first four games, Oceanside has registered seven goals in the last three. It broke the drought with a 3-2 win over Freeport on Sept. 21, with seniors Michael Kaniatyn, Eric Filkowski and Michael Schmutter getting goals, and Maffetone, recently inserted into the starting lineup, scored twice three days later in a 3-2 defeat to Uniondale. "We started the year with one forward and five midfielders, but we just weren't getting enough scoring chances so we went back to a traditional lineup," Phelan said. "I'm eager to see what we can do the second time around against the teams that shut us out."
Maffetone got the eventual game-winner at Farmingdale when he floated a shot from 15 yards out over the outstretched arms of keeper Sergio Lopez. "He's given our offense a nice boost," Phelan said of Maffetone, who plays in the midfield.
Though Maffetone blasted the ball over the crossbar of a yawning net midway through the first half, it didn't come back to haunt the Sailors. That's because Gura, working behind a defense led by junior Dan Smolarchik and seniors Francis Rapp and Tim Garrett, slammed the door on the Dalers, who slipped to 0-6. "Farmingdale beat us twice last year," Gura said. "We needed to take care of
The ball did get past Gura five minutes into the second half, but Rapp cleared it from the goalmouth before Farmingdale's Christopher Haseman could cash in. Gura then did his best work inside of 17 minutes, making a
diving stop off Zachary Kolodny and two sprawling saves on the doorstep. "He's great on the ground," Phelan said of Gura. "When the ball hits his hands, it usually stays there. He doesn't give up many rebounds."
The pressure was off the defense after Vitta rocketed home a shot from 25 yards out following an indirect free kick.

Here is another craft of recycling household waste in a new ways, by Mega Crafty's unique way of using CD cases to make a mini greenhouse. I think it's awesome that we are being inspired to recycle and repurpose in such an amazing ways! All the individual sections are glued together and pieces cut with a craft knife to create the peaked sides. The design even allows for a cd case in the peak that resembles the fan you would find in a real greenhouse - how ingenious.

Everyone is familiar with rap beef, but R&B beef? The Dream and The Weeknd go at it, after The Dream spoke on his thoughts about the several artists known for copying off his style. The Dream does not mention any names, however all of the shots seem to be geared at The Weeknd. Hip Hop Wired reports:
As The Weeknd emerged in 2011 with critically acclaimed projects like House Of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes Of Silence; the comparison in styles between him and accomplished songwriter, The Dream grew. So when The Dream took his Cut Kill The Lights Off tour through the media capital of the world, the Grammy-Award winning artist let his feelings known about numerous artists biting his style. Although The Dream never named names, all clues pointed toward the Canadian crooner. "I haven't done a show in close to two years. And ever since then, there's like, four n****s that sound like me now. I'm just being honest," The Dream said to a sold-out SOBs crowd in New York City. After this, it didn't take The Weeknd long to respond. "Hamburglar lookin' A** N****," The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye tweeted last night. "All I need are my brothers and my fans. Fawk the bullS***. This N**** is so hood, he thinks my name is The Weekender. I was raised old fashioned, you get at me, I get at you. Ain't no sideways Isht about it."
The Dream responded " Like my father said, 'say your piece son. If a man feel uncomfortable enough a cheat, and a liar will identify [himself.]' Amen. Now I know for sure," he began. "I said I was honest not petty. I'm going to support the movement where if you can't say it in person don't say it. Nothing but love from here lil' homie. Don't get fooled or tricked and try to come up on a N**** like me , won't work just do you if you truly are then what we talkin about. Now I'm going to leave it at that."
Mr. Nash also went on to offer apprenticeship in a few tweets, offering to call his phone and talk things out and shot down any rumblings of a brewing beef by giving The Weeknd props. "Y'all better quit hypin n****s up. [You] can't beef by yourself. Beef would have to mean insecurity [or] jealousy. Two things I know nothing about, I'm dope! Like I said, I think the world of the boy and nothing will change that. He's very talented and it's nothing for me to say that. [There isn't] enough R&B to beef and its no fun ballin' by yourself. Restore order."

Very poor factory support!
By deadeye on Saturday, July 22, 2017Purchased car new June 2016. My wife loved it. About 2000 miles it developed a beep beep beep noise like its behind the dash. This occurs at 60-65 mph. This equals approx. 1500 rpm. its not loud but very audible. The dealer attempted one repair with no success. We called 1800nissan1 for factory support. They offered no solutions but had us meet with local factory rep in San Antonio. We drove my car at indicated speeds, both noted the sound. Then we picked a new Rogue at random from dealers inventory. Drove same way, same sound. Rep then stated this is proof that the noise is inherent in the design and cannot be repaired. I took it as proof Nissan has a widespread defect in the Rogue. Please!, the factory that built the car cant repair it? It all comes down to money. If there are hundreds or thousands like this and a major component must be replaced like engine or transmission, then its cheaper to stonewall the issue. Vehicle Korean built.

A note of caution: if doing this stretch causes you pain, numbness or
tingling then, stop; you may need to seek medical advice.
Sit comfortably erect (neutral) in your chair with your back fully
supported. Place your feet shoulder width apart on the floor. Interlace
your fingers behind your neck with your palms touching the bottom of your
head and the top of your neck.
As you exhale, let your head drop down and curl forward while gently
pressing your back into the chair. As you inhale, return to a neutral
posture. Now, as you exhale reverse your posture by pulling your head and
elbows backward while slightly arching your backfeel a gentle stretch of
your chest. Make sure to use the chair back for support. Hold this
position for two or three deep abdominal breaths during which you allow
more stretch with each exhalation. Be gentle, not forceful.
On the next exhalation, curl and drop your head and elbows forward. Relax
while keeping your hands interlaced behind your head and neck.
Repeat this cycle three times.
Optional: reverse the breathing pattern and inhale as you move from
neutral (e.g., inhale when you curl forward and when you arch backward).
Repeat this or other movement practices many times during the day.
We thank Candy Frobish, OTR/CHT for her helpful suggestions with this tip.

Tillman shines as O's down Angels
Anaheim, CA – Chris Tillman tossed eight scoreless innings and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 5-1, in the opener of a four-game series.
Tillman (2-1) gave up just three hits while striking out three and walking two for the Orioles, who improved to 5-3 on an 11-game road trip.
"It's always fun to pitch in front of your family and friends," Tillman said. "I threw strikes early and I had fastball command."
Nate McLouth hit a two-run homer for Baltimore. Manny Machado, Chris Davis and Nick Markakis each knocked in a run.
Angels starter Joe Blanton (0-5) allowed three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits over eight innings. Albert Pujols hit a solo homer in the ninth.
Los Angels had a runner thrown out at the plate in the first. Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo walked to put men on first and second with two outs before the former was thrown out at home after Josh Hamilton singled to right.
"We just didn't get on his fastball and that was his primary weapon tonight," Trumbo said of Tillman.
The Orioles got on the board in the third following three straight one-out singles by Nolan Reimold, McLouth and Machado.
Baltimore tacked on another run in the sixth. Adam Jones hit a one-out single and raced home on Davis' double to right.
Markakis' RBI double in the seventh made it a 3-0 game. Reimold reached second on Halos third baseman Brendan Harris' throwing error, moved to third on McLouth's groundout and scored on Markakis' double to right.
McLouth hit a two-run homer off Ryan Brasier in the ninth to make it 5-0.
Tillman, who retired the final nine batters he faced, gave way to Jim Johnson in the bottom of the ninth. Pujols' homer accounted for the final margin.
Game Notes
The Angels went 7-2 against the Orioles in 2012 ... Blanton fell to 2-3 in eight career starts against Baltimore ... Los Angeles had just four hits.

Commencement Speeches
Commencement Address - John Bravman
Commencement Speaker - Sheryl WuDunn
Class Response - Ralph "Chet" Otis '14
President's Senior Awards Ceremony "What Does It Take To Succeed?" Provost Mick Smyer
Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
As part of Bucknell University's Commencement weekend festivities, Bucknell University will welcome Americana singer-songwriter and Grammy Award winner Rosanne Cash with John Leventhal on Friday, May 16, at 7 p.m. in the Weis Center for the Performing Arts.
The media sponsor for the event is WXPN-FM.
The eldest daughter of country music icon Johnny Cash and stepdaughter of June Carter Cash of the legendary Carter Family, Cash's musical and family legacy is rooted in the very beginnings of American country music with its deep cultural and historical connections to the south.
Her own thoughtful, genre-blurring approach encompasses country, rock, roots and pop influences. She has charted 21 Top 40 country singles including 11 number ones, received a Grammy, and has earned 12 Grammy nominations.
On her 2009 album The List, Cash recorded 12 songs from the list of "100 essential country songs" that her father compiled for her and instructed her to learn when she was 18 and about to join his road show. The List received two Grammy nominations and won the Americana Music Association Awards' 2010 Album of the Year.
In addition, her best-selling 2010 memoir, Composed, was described by the Chicago Tribune as "one of the best accounts of an American life you will likely ever read."
Cash's new show celebrates the release of her much anticipated new album, The River and the Thread (January 2014, Blue Note Records), a collection of new original songs that connect and re-connect her to the American South, the place of her birth and the home of her ancestors.
Cash recently appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, NPR's Morning Edition and World Café with David Dye and in a Newsweek article to support the new album.
About the New Album, The River and the Thread
The River and the Thread is a poetic survey of places and people of The South on the beautiful and varied songs written with her collaborator, musical director and husband, John Leventhal.
Featuring a long list of guests-from young guns like John Paul White and Derek Trucks to such legends as John Prine, Rodney Crowell, Kris Kristofferson, and Tony Joe White-The River and the Thread is a kaleidoscopic examination of the geographic, emotional and historic landscape of the American South. The album's unique sound, which draws from country, blues, gospel and rock, reflects the soulful mix of music that traces its history to the region.
Of the album, Cash says, "I went back to where I was born, and these songs started arriving in me. All these things happened that made me feel a deeper connection to the South than I ever had. We started finding these great stories and the melodies that went with those experiences. I feel this record ties past and present together through all those people and places in the South I knew and thought I had left behind."
The album reflects journeys through the Southern states, with stops at William Faulkner's house; Dockery Farms, the plantation where Howlin' Wolf and Charley Patton worked and sang; her father's boyhood home in Dyess, Ark.; the Sun Records Studio in Memphis; and the Mississippi Delta, with its memories of the birth of the Civil Rights era and the haunting gravesite of the great bluesman Robert Johnson.
"The thread" in the album's title comes from Cash's friend Natalie Chanin, a master seamstress in Florence, Ala. "Natalie was teaching me to sew," says Cash, "and she said, 'You have to learn to love the thread,' in this beautiful accent, and it hit me as an enormous metaphor." The line appears in the album's opener, "A Feather's Not a Bird," a deeply swampy shuffle which Cash describes as "a mini-travelogue of the South, and of the soul."
Several songs on The River and the Thread draw from stories and characters across generations of the Cash family. "Sunken Lands" is named for the area where Johnny Cash grew up and recounts the difficult life of his mother, Carrie. While the sparse, moody Southern pop of "The Long Way Home" draws on details from the lives of Cash and her family, she points out that "the sentiment is universal-most of us go a long way and try a lot of things before we come home to ourselves. To paraphrase Paul Theroux, 'We go away to find the changes in ourselves. We go away to find our place in the world.'"
All of these lines come together in "When the Master Calls the Roll," a song that Leventhal and Rodney Crowell initially were writing for Emmylou Harris. When Cash's son Jake was researching an 8th grade project on the Civil War, she reminded him that they had ancestors who fought on both sides of the conflict. When she clicked on the online Civil War database, she was stunned to see a photograph of William Cash from Massachusetts.
The Boston Globe says of The River and the Thread, "Cash comes full circle as a storyteller and singer of exceptional grace and grit. It's among her finest work in a 35-year career, assured and at ease, and one of 2014's first great albums." USA Today says, "A captivating and sometimes haunting album that's among the finest of her career."

This story is long and I am going to shorten it up and make it short. I will put in a few bulletin details on it.
1. Zack and I met in 6th grade; we hated eachother with a passion.
2. Started hanging out in 7th grade
You would not be able to tell now, but in 6th and 7th I wan an idiot. People hated me; I was not smart. Zack had a similar situation, but he was more likable, but dumber. He was getting in all sorts of trouble. He even got into fights and it was extreme, he had to get a mug shot. There is more to the story then you could ever imagine. I was also getting in tons of trouble, you probably heard about the Num-chucks fiasco. I also burnt the croche trashcan down and I lit stuff on fire at my school.
Around the same time me and zack started hanging out; I had an epiphany. I changed my ways, if this happened before I was friends with Zack I would not of hung out with him, but the epiphany happened because of him. I helped Zack by not being an idiot, I influenced him to the point where he refused drugs from his older sister. And eventually I became the genius that I am (Not because of the school; they had no involvement in any my development. I even learned how to read and write from my dad. I had problems before that.) So in the end, I think helping Zack was me helping myself.
A short story I decided to post.

I think Hidden C. your story either needs much more content for us to make sense of what you are saying exactly, or if you meant this to be a random babble, put this in the random babble section (or the off topic section).
All in due time, this is part of an elaborate scheme I have going. This is just part one. I want to see who can figure it out first.

There are just five of Grove + MapleXO's skateboard deck iPhone 4 cases left, of the ultra-limited edition 50 piece range. Made over the course of a year, 300 skateboards were slices and sanded-down into layered strips, and constructed into cases. Pretty tricky craftsmanship, to say the least.
With 50 per cent of the proceeds going to the Oregon Humane Society, they're all in excess of $200 now on eBay. One is even at $485—with four days left to go! These aren't your average cases, as I'm sure their new owners will constantly repeat to anyone asking why they spent so much on a wrapper for their cellphone.

Chives are considered warm and pungent. They promote circulation of energy and blood and help dry excess dampness in the body. They have a special affinity for the liver, kidneys and stomach. Chives are used to treat stomachache and arthritis due to internal coldness. They help clean the circulatory system, lower blood pressure and inhibit the growth of viruses, fungi and unfriendly yeasts. Chives are used to strengthen the kidneys and increase sex drive. Chives are regarded as antiseptic and a digestive aid.
The hollow tops, are clipped and used fresh or dried. Cutting chives regularly ensures continued tender growth. Chives are added to complement the flavor of many other vegetables including carrots, onions and potatoes. Often added as a garnish to eggs, cottage cheese and salads. The flowers are edible and make an attractive purple addition. Those that find onions hard to digest might find chives a milder alternative. Avoid subjecting chives to heat, which will damage its flavor and add right before serving. Chives are a classic addition to the French culinary blend fines herbes.
Chives are rich in beta-carotene, B complex, vitamin C, calcium iron, sulfur. Chives are easy to cultivate and are often grown in kitchen window gardens. Growing chives in the garden helps deter aphids.

Nonstate Actors in Colombia: Threat and Response
Authored by Dr. Max G. Manwaring.
Other Studies by Keyword
+[FARC] +[War on Drugs]
Brief Synopsis
Colombia's deeply rooted and ambiguous warfare has reached crisis proportions in that Colombia's "Hobbesian Trinity" of illegal drug traffickers, insurgents, and paramilitary organizations are creating a situation in which life is indeed "nasty, brutish, and short." The first step in developing a macro-level vision, policy, and strategy to deal with the Colombian crisis in a global context is to be clear on what the Colombian crisis is, and what the fundamental threats implicit (and explicit) in it are. Political and military leaders can start thinking about the gravity of the terrorist strategy employed by Colombia's stateless adversaries from this point. It is also the point from which leaders can begin developing responses designed to secure Colombian, Hemispheric, and global stability. The author seeks to explain the Colombian crisis in terms of nonstate threats to the state and to the region--and appropriate strategic-level responses.

Recently my love for LazyTown was rekindled. After watching all of the episodes, the original stage plays, and even getting to see the peculiar pilot reel, it inspired an idea in me that I have not really seen done before. I am exploring this idea in writing a fanfiction story. No pairings, nothing hopefully too out of character. It's as close to watching new episodes as I can get for myself.

Robyn Pugh is suing Middle Smithfield Township and current and former supervisors for sexual harassment and discrimination, and to be reinstated as the township's golf course and sewer system director, according to federal court papers.
Robyn Pugh is suing Middle Smithfield Township and current and former supervisors for sexual harassment and discrimination, and to be reinstated as the township's golf course and sewer system director, according to federal court papers.
The lawsuit was filed Monday, and summonses were sent Tuesday to township Supervisor Mitchell Marcus and former Supervisor Scott Schaller, both named as defendants in the suit.
Pugh said she filed a complaint of harassment and discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and that the township retaliated by firing her in 2011.
The civil complaint gives the following account:
Hired in 2008 by Serendipity Accounting and Tax Services, which contracted with the township, Pugh was involved in a sexual relationship with Schaller from November 2008 to November 2009, the suit alleges.
She was appointed township sewer director in 2009, while remaining a Serendipity employee, and then Country Club of the Poconos Golf Course director in 2010.
Pugh returned to her duties shortly after giving birth to a daughter in July 2010, becoming a $90,000-a-year full-time township employee in September of that year. (Though the suit notes Pugh's sexual relationship with Schaller, court papers say nothing about the baby's father or raise its paternity as an issue.)
Marcus began making offensive comments to Pugh and others about her figure and breastfeeding her baby.
Other women employed by or associated with the township were repeatedly subjected to sexual innuendo and overtones in conversations with male employees.
For example, the suit cites an incident in which the township zoning officer sent a letter to the then-township solicitor, Jennifer Wise, about getting a phone call from the owner of a proposed business, who wanted to know how the township's zoning regulations would treat his store if it were to sell vibrators.
The zoning officer said the store would sell lingerie and mentioned fantasizing about his wife wearing such apparel.
In addition, Wise was subjected to sexually offensive emails during a review of a proposed zoning amendment.
Wise complained to Marcus, who suggested she come to his insurance office in the afternoon for drinks since "a nip in the afternoon would make her complaints go away."
"Pugh could not report the harassment to her supervisors because the perpetrators of the sexual harassment were two members of a three-member Board of Supervisors, and the third member, Robert Spano, was a politically ally of defendant Schaller for unlawful actions taken as a supervisor," court papers say.
Schaller, Spano and Marcus did not return phone calls Wednesday seeking comment.
In March 2011, during an ongoing public dispute over a revised zoning ordinance's impact on property then-Supervisor Bob Spano Sr. owned in the township at the time, Schaller sexually assaulted Pugh on township property, court papers say.
Pugh immediately notified fellow employee Ana Burgos of the assault prior to leaving the premises, and Schaller apologized to Pugh the next day.
In April 2011, Pugh learned Marcus was suing the township for access to its financial records.
During the next two months, Pugh requested hiring a golf course food/beverage manager and cook, but Schaller repeatedly told her he would grant any requests for staff and resources to help her do her job in return for sexual favors, court papers say.
In May 2011, while Pugh had to travel with Schaller as part of her employment, he made unwelcomed sexual advances toward her when they were stopped in traffic, according to court papers.
Despite the harassment and the township doing nothing to enforce its employee manual's bans on such harassment, Pugh supported Schaller and Spano politically to protect her livelihood.
As a result, the public identified her as siding with Schaller and Spano in their ongoing battle against Marcus as a result of the zoning controversy.
With Schaller losing the May 2011 primary election for supervisor and Spano expected to resign or be removed due to his own legal problems, Marcus became more demanding of Pugh, and on May 19 told her he "wanted to have a little fun" with her now that it was Schaller's last term in office.
After the news media reported on Pugh's regular and overtime salary in late May 2011, Marcus told her he wouldn't give her a new employment contract unless she "favored him the way she had favored Schaller," according to court papers.
For the next several months, he continued threatening her employment if she did not "favor him," "prove herself to him" or "be nicer to him."
In August 2011, Pugh entered the township building for a meeting with Marcus and three other men, at which point Marcus stared at her breasts and said, "Here comes the dynamic duo."
He continued staring at her chest throughout the meeting, according to court papers.
When Pugh refused his continued unwanted advances, Marcus falsely represented her job performance publicly and in court documents.
In September 2011, a month after Spano and Schaller voted 2-1 to put a strip club on Spano's property, Pugh filed a sexual harassment complaint with the EEOC against Marcus.
He became aware of this a month later, after Schaller and Spano had resigned, and fired her.
He later had to rescind the termination upon learning he needed a unanimous vote with two other supervisors to fire Pugh.
She was fired in November 2011, after the court appointed Michael Dwyer and Annette Atkinson to replace Schaller and Spano.

Victoria Secret Angel Mommies Breastfeed Behind The Scenes Of Photo Shoots!
Both Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes posted pictures of themselves nursing their baby boys. Hey, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!
We think it's wonderful that these gorgeous Victoria Secret models drop everything and make sure their babies come before bikinis. Being a working mom can be quite the juggling act!
Miranda Kerr, 28, tweeted a photo of herself nursing her 3-month-old son Flynn, whose daddy is actor Orlando Bloom, in between takes at her new lingerie campaign. "Another day in the office xxx," she wrote. Miranda returned to work just two months after giving birth to Flynn, when she walked the runway at Paris Fashion week!
And although a handful of Victoria Secret models have breastfed their children, new mom Doutzen Kroes, 24, who welcomed her baby boy Phyllon with Sunnery James in December, also posted a photo where she's nursing behind the scenes. "Working mom;)," she tweeted, "feeding my precious baby between pictures…"
It's so great that these new mommies are allowed to care for their little guys at work. The babies are not the only ones who appreciate the benefits of breastfeeding — we're sure Victoria Secret doesn't mind those new and improved mommy curves either!

Your computer must meet certain minimum system requirements to run Photoshop optimally. Running Photoshop on underpowered or unsupported hardware—for example, on a computer having an incompatible graphics processor (GPU)—may result in performance issues.
In general, you should take a holistic approach to optimizing Photoshop's performance for your needs. From the suggestions documented in this article, consider which ones to implement within the context of your computer setup, the types of files you use, and your particular workflow. Every user's setup is unique and may require a different combination of techniques to get the most efficient performance from Photoshop.
There are four primary ways to affect performance in Photoshop:
- Specify Photoshop performance preferences
- Fine-tune Photoshop features
- Optimize your hardware setup
- Optimize your operating system for Photoshop
The easiest way to improve performance, without spending money, is to set your Photoshop preferences and fine-tune its features to take advantage of the way you work and the type of files you typically work with.
The most dramatic way to increase performance is investing in faster and more-powerful hardware.
Photoshop provides a set of preferences (Preferences > Performance) to help you make optimum use of your computer's resources, such as memory, cache, graphics processor, displays, etc. Depending on your primary use case for using Photoshop and the types of documents you generally work with, different combinations of these settings may suit you. Additional settings such as Scratch Disks, available on other tabs of the Preferences dialog, may also directly impact your computer's running speed and stability.
You can improve performance by increasing the amount of memory/RAM allocated to Photoshop. The Memory Usage area of the Performance preferences screen (Preferences > Performance) tells you how much RAM is available to Photoshop. It also shows the ideal Photoshop memory allocation range for your system. By default, Photoshop uses 70% of available RAM.
- Increate the RAM allocated to Photoshop by changing the value in the Let Photoshop Use box. Alternatively, adjust the Memory Usage slider.
- Restart Photoshop to enable your changes.
To find the ideal RAM allocation for your system, change it in 5% increments and monitor performance in the Efficiency indicator. See Keep an eye on the Efficiency indicator.
We don't recommend allocating more than 85% of your computer's memory to Photoshop. Doing so may affect performance by leaving no memory for other essential system applications.
If you experience out-of-RAM or out-of-memory errors in Photoshop, try increasing the amount of RAM allocated to Photoshop. However, setting the RAM allocation for Photoshop too high (>85%) could affect the performance of other running applications, making your system unstable.
The best solution to this issue is to add more RAM to your computer.
Photoshop uses image caching to speed up the redrawing of high-resolution documents while you're working on them. You can specify up to eight levels of cached image data and choose one of the four available cache tile sizes.
Increasing cache levels improves Photoshop's responsiveness while you work, although images may take longer to load. The cache tile size determines the amount of data on which Photoshop operates at a time. Bigger tile sizes speed up complex operations, such as sharpening filters. Smaller changes, such as brush strokes, are more responsive with smaller tile sizes.
Three cache presets are available in the Performance preferences. Choose the one that matches your primary use case/purpose of using Photoshop:
- Web/UI Design: Choose this option if you use Photoshop primarily for web, app, or screen design. This option is appropriate for documents having numerous layers of low-to-medium pixel dimension assets.
- Default/Photos: Choose this option if you use Photoshop primarily to retouch or edit moderate-sized images. For example, use this option if you normally edit photos originating from your mobile or digital camera in Photoshop.
- Huge Pixel Dimensions: Choose this option if you work extensively with heavy documents in Photoshop; for example, panoramas, matte paintings, etc.
For finer control, specify cache levels manually; the default value is 4.
- If you use relatively small files—roughly 1 megapixel or 1280 by 1024 pixels—and many layers (50 or more), set Cache Levels to 1 or 2. Setting Cache Levels to 1 disables image caching; only the current screen image is cached.
- If you use files with larger pixel dimensions—say, 50 megapixels or larger—set Cache Levels higher than 4. Higher cache levels speed up redrawing.
You may not get high-quality results with some Photoshop features if you set Cache Levels to 1.
You can save scratch disk space and improve performance by limiting or reducing the number of history states Photoshop saves in the History panel. The amount of space you save varies depending on how many pixels an operation changes. For example, a history state based on a small paint stroke or a non-destructive operation, such as creating or modifying an adjustment layer, consumes little space. Applying a filter to an entire image, on the other hand, consumes much more space.
Photoshop can save up to 1,000 history states; the default number is 20. To reduce that number, go to the Performance preference dialog box, choose History & Cache > History States. In the History States pop-up menu, if necessary, drag the setting to a lower value.
The best way to optimize GPU acceleration, which speeds up screen redraws, is to keep your video adapter driver up to date. For more information about GPU acceleration and instructions on updating video adapter drivers, see Photoshop GPU and video card FAQ.
Turning on OpenCL, a technology that lets applications use the GPU, is likely to improve performance if you use these Photoshop features:
- Video Panorama
- Blur Gallery (Iris, Field, and Tilt-shift Blur)
To turn on OpenCL, in the Performance Preferences panel, click Advanced Settings and select Use OpenCL.
Photoshop provides you with dedicated GPU settings in both the Performance and 3D sections in the Preferences dialog.
Settings in the Preferences > Performance section
If a suitable video card is installed on your system, it will appear in the GPU Settings area of the Performance section.
- To enable GPU acceleration, make sure that the Enable OpenGL Drawing option is selected.
- To fine-tune the card's performance, click the Advanced Settings button and select Basic, Normal, or Advanced, matching the option with your requirements.
- Basic—Uses the least amount of GPU memory to run the most basic OpenGL features when sharing the GPU with other applications or when experiencing slow responsiveness. Select this option if you have other programs running that also use the GPU or if you notice bad screen redraws or slower performance when using GPU-accelerated features.
- Normal—Is the default setting. It uses a large amount of GPU memory to support advanced OpenGL features and should be selected if you regularly use the GPU-accelerated features in Photoshop.
- Advanced—Uses the same amount of memory as the Normal mode, but enables more advanced features to improve drawing performance. This setting is best when working in 3D or when working extensively with the GPU-accelerated features.
Note: Mode changes take effect only after Photoshop is restarted.
Settings in the Preferences > 3D section
The 3D section of the Performances dialog box contains a VRAM slider similar to the memory control located in the Performance section. Use the slider to determine the upper limit of the video RAM (VRAM) available to the Photoshop 3D engine. The total value is a percentage of the overall VRAM available. A setting of 100% will still reserve a portion of the overall VRAM for use with the operating system. Higher values will help with overall 3D performance but may compete with other GPU-enabled applications.
If Photoshop cannot launch because the scratch disk is full, hold down the Cmd + Option keys (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt keys (Windows) during launch to set a new scratch disk.
A scratch disk is any external or internal drive or drive partition with free memory. By default, Photoshop uses the hard drive on which the operating system is installed as the primary scratch disk. You can tweak scratch disk settings in the Preferences > Scratch Disks section.
- Choose Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Scratch Disks (Mac).
- To enable or disable a scratch disk, select or deselect the Active check box. To change the scratch disk order, click the arrow buttons.
- Click OK.
- To apply the changes, restart Photoshop.
- For best performance, connect the scratch disks to a compatible port that has the highest bandwidth limit of all the available ports. The bandwidth limits for various ports are as follows:
Thunderbolt = 10GB/sec
eSATA = 600MB/sec
PCIe = 500MB/sec
USB3 = 400MB/sec
USB2 = 35MB/sec
- To improve performance, set the scratch disk to a defragmented hard disk that has plenty of unused space and fast read/write speeds. If you have more than one hard drive, you can specify additional scratch disks. Photoshop supports up to 64 exabytes of scratch disk space on up to four volumes. (An exabyte equals 1 billion GB.)
- If your startup disk is a hard disk, as opposed to a solid-state disk (SSD), try using a different hard disk for your primary scratch disk. An SSD, on the other hand, performs well as both the primary startup and scratch disk. In fact, using an SSD is probably better than using a separate hard disk as your primary scratch disk.
- Scratch disks should be on a different drive than any large files you are editing.
- Scratch disks should be on a different drive than the one your operating system uses for virtual memory.
- RAID disks/disk arrays are good choices for dedicated scratch disk volumes.
- Defragment drives with scratch disks regularly.
The Performance > File Handling > Automatically Save Recovery Information Every n Minutes option may have a bearing on performance as well. The Save In Background preference is enabled by default. When it is on, Photoshop lets you continue working while Save and Save As commands are performed, instead of requiring you to wait until they complete. The Automatically Save Recovery Information preference is enabled only if Save in Background is on. When enabled, recovery information is saved for each open file at the specified interval. (Recovery information is saved as a redundant backup; your original file is not modified.)
Usually, background save operations do not significantly affect the performance or responsiveness of normal Photoshop operations. However, if you are editing a file that is much larger than available RAM, the save operation can affect responsiveness or performance until the save is complete.
If Photoshop seems to intermittently slow down, you can check whether background save is affecting performance. Choose Save Progress in the status pop-up menu on the lower left of your image window.
If you notice performance issues while the Save Progress bar is moving, go to Preferences > File Handling, and decrease the frequency of the Automatically Save Recovery Information preference. Or, turn off the preference.
Setting a lower value for the recovery interval gives you more protection against crashes. In most cases, saving the recovery information does not affect the performance or responsiveness of Photoshop. However, a slowdown in performance is most likely if the files you're modifying are larger than the available RAM.
Recovery information is saved in the same locations as the Photoshop scratch files. If you regularly keep many large files open while working, the amount of space can be significant. If you get out-of-disk-space errors while performing commands other than Save commands, add scratch disk space. Or, disable the Automatically Save Recovery Information preference.
Watch the Efficiency indicator to monitor performance while you work in Photoshop. Click the pop-up menu at the bottom of the image window and choose Efficiency from the pop-up menu.
If the value in the indicator is below 100%, Photoshop has used all available RAM and is using the scratch disk, which slows performance. If the efficiency is less than 90%, allocate more RAM to Photoshop in Performance preferences. Or, add more RAM to your system.
Very large files are often the cause of performance problems. Photoshop supports a maximum file size of 300,000 x 300,000 pixels, except for PDF files, which are limited to 30,000 x 30,000 pixels and 200 x 200 inches.
File size capability for Photoshop:
- PSD files: 2 GB
- TIFF files: 4 GB
- PSB files: 4 exabytes (4096 petabytes or 4 million terabytes)
- PDF files: 10 GB (pages are limited to a maximum size of 200 inches)
If you receive an "out of RAM" error message or if Photoshop is running slowly, it could be caused by having too many open images. If you have several windows open, try closing some of them.
To reduce the amount of scratch disk space Photoshop uses, minimize the number of patterns and brush tips you keep loaded. Save presets you don't require right now to a preset file. Or delete them if they were loaded from a preset file.
See Work with the Preset Manager to find out more about managing preset patterns and brush tips.
Each time you change a document, Photoshop updates all the thumbnails visible in the Layers and Channels panels. This update can affect responsiveness when you're rapidly painting, moving, or nudging layers. The more thumbnails visible, the greater this effect.
To minimize or disable these thumbnail previews, click the Panel menu and choose Panel Options. Select a smaller thumbnail size or select None, and then click OK.
If you don't need to work with your PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or in applications that don't support layers, you can turn off a file compatibility feature to speed up document saving:
See Maximize compatibility when saving files for more information.
Photoshop can perform many operations on 16-bit and 32-bit images. However, these images require more memory, scratch space, and time to process than 8-bit images.
To convert your image to 8 bits per channel, choose Image > Mode > 8 Bits/Channel. See Bit depth in Photoshop Help for more information.
Converting to 8 bits per channel deletes data from your image. Save a copy of the original 16-bit or 32-bit image before you convert to 8 bits per channel.
To speed font processing in Photoshop, turn off the WYSIWYG font preview list by choosing Type > Font Preview Size > None.
The greater the image resolution, the more memory and disk space Photoshop requires to display, process, and print an image. Depending on your final output, higher image resolution does not necessarily provide higher final image quality, but it can slow performance, use additional scratch disk space, and slow printing. The optimal resolution for your images depends on how the images will be displayed or printed.
For images presented onscreen, think in terms of total pixel dimensions. For example, many web images are no more than 725 pixels wide. To reduce the image dimensions of an image, choose Image > Image Size. In the Image Size dialog box, make sure that the Resample option is selected. Enter a new value for the Dimensions Width or Height (entering a value for one changes both).
For printed images, increasing resolution beyond about 360 DPI brings marginal if any benefits in most cases. If you produce many prints, experiment to find a resolution that gives you pleasing results. To reduce the resolution of an image, choose Image > Image Size. In the Image Size dialog box, select Resample. Change the Width and Height values to reflect the physical size of your printed document. Then, decrease the Resolution value, and click OK.
If you are going to increase the image resolution for printing rather than decrease it, perform this resolution increase as one of your last steps before printing the image. That way, you don't have to process all this extra information in earlier steps.
For more information, see Advanced cropping, resizing, and resampling.
You can improve system performance by freeing up unused memory and scratch disk space from Photoshop to make it available to other programs. To do so, choose one of these options:
- Edit > Purge > All
- Edit > Purge > Undo
- Hold down Option (Mac OS) or Alt (Windows) and choose About Photoshop
If other programs are actively trying to allocate or use the memory, freeing up memory in Photoshop will improve performance. Freeing up scratch disk space will be beneficial if you're out of space on a disk volume. If you free up significant memory or disk space, Photoshop will be slower the next time you open large files, while Photoshop allocates space.
If you want Photoshop to always use less memory, choose Edit > Preferences >Performance (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Performance (Mac OS) and move the Memory Usage slider to the left. See Adjust memory usage.
Activity monitors, task managers, and disk utilities may take several seconds to register the change. In fact, for some utilities, you may need to explicitly request the update.
The contents of the clipboard are often large if you've been copying and pasting data within large documents. And, those contents are of little use when you're done pasting. To free up RAM being used by image data in the clipboard, choose Edit > Purge > Clipboard.
The Purge command cannot be undone.
The Filter Gallery allows you to test one or more filters on an image before applying the effects, which can save considerable time and memory. See Filter Gallery overview for more information.
Dragging layers or files is more efficient than copying and pasting them. Dragging bypasses the Clipboard and transfers data directly. Copying and pasting can potentially involve more data transfer and is much less efficient.
Layers are fundamental to working in Photoshop, but they increase file size and redraw time. Photoshop recomposes each layer after each change in the image. After you complete changes to layers, flatten (merge) them to reduce file size. Select the layers in the Layers panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and choose Merge Layers. To flatten all layers in a file, choose Layer > Flatten Image. Also make sure to remove any empty layers from the file.
Photoshop does not let you separate layers after merging them. You can either choose Edit > Undo or use the History panel to return to an unmerged state.
If you don't frequently change some of your layers, consider converting layers or layer sets into Smart Objects, which saves disk space and improves performance. Select the layers or layer sets in the Layers panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and choose Convert To Smart Object. See Work with Smart Objects.
Photoshop can save layers in TIFF files. However, layered TIFF files are larger than flat TIFF files and require more resources for processing and printing. If you work with a layered TIFF file, save the original layered file as an Adobe Photoshop (.psd) file. Then, when you are ready to save the file in TIFF format, choose File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, choose Format > TIFF, select Save As A Copy, deselect Layers, and click Save.
For added speed when exporting TIFF files, do not choose ZIP compression. (ZIP compression produces the smallest TIFF files, however.)
The Export Clipboard option causes Photoshop to make the contents of the clipboard available to other programs. If you copy large amounts of data in Photoshop, but won't paste it into other applications, save time by turning off this option:
See information on restarting the Creative Cloud desktop app.
If you're interested in modifying your current hardware setup (or perhaps if you're buying a new system), use the following information to optimize it for Photoshop.
The speed of the computer's central processing unit, or CPU, limits the processing speed of Photoshop. Photoshop requires a multicore Intel processor (Mac OS) or a 2 GHz or faster processor (Windows).
Photoshop generally runs faster with more processor cores, although some features take greater advantage of the additional cores than others. However, you'll get diminishing returns with multiple processor cores: The more cores you use, the less you get from each additional core. Therefore, Photoshop doesn't run four times as fast on a computer with 16 processor cores as on a computer with four cores. For most users, the increase in performance that more than six cores provides doesn't justify the increased cost.
If you are running Photoshop in a virtual environment, Photoshop's GPU use can cause performance issues. Virtual machines cannot access the GPU.
Photoshop uses random access memory (RAM) to process images. If Photoshop has insufficient memory, it uses hard-disk space, also known as a scratch disk, to process information. Accessing information in memory is faster than accessing information on a hard disk. Therefore, Photoshop is fastest when it can process all or most image information in RAM.
For instructions on how you can specify how much RAM to allocate to Photoshop, see Adjust memory usage.
Photoshop reads and writes image information to disk when your system doesn't have enough RAM to contain all of it. The Efficiency indicator can help you determine whether getting a faster hard disk or solid-state disk would improve your performance. If the efficiency number is usually above 95%, spending money on a faster scratch disk has little benefit.
To improve Photoshop performance, use a disk with a fast data transfer rate. For example, use an internal hard disk or an external disk connected via a fast interface such as Thunderbolt, FireWire 800, eSATA, or USB3. Network servers (hard disk accessed over a network) have slower data transfer rates.
The latest version of Photoshop requires at least 2.5 GB (Windows) or 3.2 GB (Mac OS). Installation requires additional space, and Adobe recommends more hard-disk space for virtual memory and scratch disk space.
Fast RAID 0 arrays make excellent scratch disks, especially if you use the array exclusively for your scratch disk. Also make sure that you defragment the array regularly, and don't use it as your startup volume.
To gain the greatest benefit from an SSD, use it as the scratch disk. Using it as a scratch disk gives you significant performance improvements if you have images that don't fit entirely in RAM. For example, swapping tiles between RAM and an SSD is much faster than swapping between RAM and a hard disk.
If your SSD doesn't have much free space (the scratch file grows bigger than can fit on the SSD), add a secondary or tertiary hard disk. (Add it after the SSD.) Make sure that these disks are selected as scratch disks in the Performance preferences.
Also, SSDs vary widely in performance, much more so than hard disks. Using an earlier, slower drive results in little improvement over a hard disk.
Adding RAM to improve performance is more cost effective than purchasing an SSD.
If the Efficiency indicator is already high, an SSD doesn't improve performance. The lower the Efficiency indicator, the greater the improvement an SSD offers.
For more information on performance and 64-bit Photoshop, see 64-bit OS benefits, limitations.
Other open applications and startup items decrease the amount of memory available to Photoshop. To free up additional memory, quit unnecessary applications, startup items, and extensions. Then, make more memory available to Photoshop.
From time to time, run Disk Cleanup to remove temporary files and any other files that are not being used.
Photoshop takes longer to read or write a fragmented file than one saved to a contiguous location.
For instructions on defragmenting hard disks on Windows, see these Microsoft Help topics:
- (Windows 7 and Vista) "Improve performance by defragmenting your hard disk"
- (Windows 8) "Optimize your hard drive"
Fragmentation is rarely a problem on Mac OS, unless you normally run with the drive nearly full.
Solid-state disks do not require defragmenting, because their performance doesn't degrade significantly with normal levels of fragmentation.
RAID arrays don't become fragmented. Fragmentation is more likely to be an issue if you use a single disk for everything. It can also be an issue if permanent files and the Photoshop scratch disk share a volume, especially if the volume doesn't have much free space. In this case, defragmenting the disk can make a significant difference.
Updates to the Windows or Mac OS X operating system improve its performance and compatibility with applications.
For Windows, turn on Windows Update.
For Mac OS X, use Software Update.
Specifying a fixed virtual memory setting helps prevent Photoshop scratch disk files from competing for the space with virtual memory (especially if you set the virtual memory setting on a different drive from the primary scratch disk). Be sure to use a drive with enough free, contiguous space for the best performance. Also, keep the paging file on a separate, empty, defragmented hard disk.
As always, the advice to use separate disks for virtual memory and scratch disks does not apply to solid-state disks. With an SSD, putting all of the most heavily-used files on an SSD is beneficial, and carries little or no penalty.
To change virtual memory, quit all applications and then do the following:
- (Mac OS) Choose System Preferences > Energy Saver, and then deselect Automatic Graphics Switching.
- (Windows) Choose Control Panel > Power Options, and then select High Performance.

When is the last time you visited our dental office? If it has been more than 6 months since your last routine cleaning, it is time for you to schedule another checkup with Dr. Alina Bergan DDS. While you might think that periodic cleanings are meant to get your teeth bright and white, checkups do more than just keep your teeth clean. They also maintain your oral health, and the benefits of routine checkups can extend to your whole body.
Your mouth is said to be a gateway to the rest of your body. As such, it offers a critical view of the state of your health. Oral symptoms can indicate vitamin deficiencies, diabetes symptoms, dehydration, and many other health problems. A dental checkup can give you valuable information about the rest of your body and provide clues about ways you can improve your health.
During a routine checkup, we perform screenings for oral cancer especially if you smoke or drink. These lesions can be difficult for you to see on your own, but during your appointment, we use a mirror to examine each part of your mouth. Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can save lives.
Finally, poor dental care can increase your risk of periodontal disease. When oral bacteria enter the bloodstream, they can trigger systemic inflammation that increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups can promote better heart health.
If you have questions about your oral health call us today at 800-223-0801 to schedule an appointment. You can also schedule online at http://www.alinabergandds.com/appointments/

In rich people news, Team Coco gained access to Dallas' AT&T Stadium Jumbotron to bring more awareness to issues like immigration, poverty and gentrification in growing cities.
Psych! Conan O'Brien used the 72 foot tall HDTV video board to play video games.
"It weighs 1.2 million pounds," he said. "If this screen were made of meat, it would be a major health hazard."
Conan O'Brien's "Clueless Gamer" segment aired last night, featuring some old and new games like, "Flower," "Street Fighter II: HD," and "Madden." O'Brien, as usual, bumbled his way through seventh-generation console titles while spouting funny quips throughout.
Under his stellar leadership, the New England Patriots were thoroughly trounced by the Dallas Cowboys who didn't even make it to the playoffs last year. In "Need for Speed," Coco wrecked his squad car after only traveling 4.2 miles.
During game time, a group of children lay on the gridiron and spelled out "Conan." Maybe he just put them to sleep?
The cost to rent out the video board is probably out of your price range, but maybe Major League Baseball has something more reasonable. Check out our article on the price of marriage proposals on stadium jumbotrons.

NHL Game Night: 11/3 Lightning at Leafs
Ugly, but I'll take it, I suppose.
Antero Niittymaki allowed 1 goal on 41 shots for the victory. I honestly don't know why there isn't a goaltending controversy at this point.
First Period
Second Period
TB 18:34, Lecavalier 2 (Ohlund)
Third Period
TOR 5:04, White 3 (Hagman, Beauchemin)(PP)
TB 2:21, Malone 9 (Tanguay)
It's lucky that A.) Nittymaki stood on his head again, and B.) Toronto is just awful enough to lose games like this even when they deserve to win. Allowing 41 shots to a team like the Leafs is a joke. Maybe the momentum and mojo the team will get from winning an overtime game will help them in the confidence department, but this is still a terrible Lightning team on the road.
Steve Downie was +1 with 2 hits in 11:44.
Drew Miller only played 4:09 in the game.
Zenon Konopka had 1 hit and was 75% on draws in 4:52.
James Wright played 13:25.
Victor Hedman was +2 with 1 shot, 1 hit, and 4 blocked shots in 25:46. He also had 4 PIMs, though.

Home Living Room Apartment Living Room Ideas Apartment Living Room Ideas Setup Furnishing A Tiny Decorating
Because living rooms can serve many purposes, you'll want to be sure to incorporate a variety of different furniture pieces to cover all possible activities. When considering living room ideas, start with your space. If your home is generally tight on space, having plenty of shelves, cabinets or drawers will be crucial to accommodating any storage needs. Built-ins are the best way to do this, since they take up less space and are often customized to meet your needs, however they can run on the more expensive side. If built-ins aren't part of your living room design ideas, start with the big pieces, like an entertainment center or TV stand to house any electronics and accessories, or a bookcase to keep books, picture frames and knickknacks in check.
When it comes to living room design, there are really no hard-and-fast rules. When considering different living room ideas, you'll want it to be a space that makes your family and guests feel comfortable, but is also functional for day-to-day living. When thinking about living room colors, most people have a tendency to go super neutral or boldly colorful in living rooms, but be careful of going overboard with either. If you go with neutrals for the big items, like sofas, armchairs and ottomans, then go a bit bold with decorative accessories — that way, you can easily swap out the small things when a new color scheme is in order. Likewise, if you want your sofa to be a statement piece then scale back the decor so they don't fight for attention.

The elegance of your living room depends also on the floors you have installed. The same as walls, floors should remain solid and neutral, allowing other important elements (art, furniture, or decorations) to grab attention first. If you decide to use carpets, make sure they are equally soft and unobtrusive, painted with the same color palette. Modern interior design prefers sharpness. Therefore, edgy rectangles and angular lines, and even impeccable circles are very common. It means that the most important feature is precise definition.
This rule is mostly applied in the case of furniture: devoted trend followers use geometrically concise furniture, such as straight-lined sofas and dining tables. The commonly applied principles are minimalism and rigidness, which don't, however, make you sacrifice comfort and functionality. The secret is to balance between strict symmetry and temporal asymmetry, which can be easily achieved with bold artwork, or fluffy pillows. The colors you apply should clearly contrast the neural palette applied on the walls and floors, depending on what you planned to be the focal point in the room.
Living rooms were originally intended to act as sophisticated settings for hosting and entertaining, while family rooms were used for more casual, everyday activities, like lounging, playing or watching TV. However, many homes today will only have one larger room that acts as both an entertainment and primary living space. If yours is the former, you'll likely be utilizing it as a sitting room to have drinks and good conversation with guests, without distractions like television. As often shown in living room photos, a bar cart, formal furniture and an eye-catching focal point, such as a sophisticated fireplace and mantel, will help achieve this look and feel. On the other hand, if its your primary living space it should see more daily use, often functioning as a TV room, complete with sofa sectional, media console and gaming spot (that cleans up nicely for guests, of course!). In the end, think about your needs when considering different living room ideas; after all, a family with small children will likely need a playroom more than a formal sitting room.
