The Proton Suprima S – the name of which is derived from the English root word 'supreme' – arrives on the scene 16 months after the Preve sedan premiered, and the five-door C-segment hatchback makes its debut in only a single engine guise (in two variant forms, the Executive and Premium) at point of launch, this being the familiar CamPro 1.6 turbo.
The same mill equips the Premium version of the Preve, and makes it way on here without any revisions – the low-pressure turbocharged unit delivers identical 138 hp at 5,000 rpm and 205 Nm between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm output numbers.
No sign of the normally-aspirated IAFM+ engine for the hatch – by the looks of it, Proton is targeting the Suprima S as a sportier offering, in keeping with the nature of the bodystyle. To cement that point, the 'S' suffix stands for Sport.
It's therefore surprising to find that there's no sign of the Getrag five-speed manual transmission on the car at this juncture, the CamPro unit being paired to the same seven-speed Punch VT3 CVT gearbox as fitted on the turbocharged Preve.
In terms of performance figures, the Suprima S has a 190 km/h top speed and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 9.9 seconds, while fuel consumption is rated at 9.1 litres per 100 km. In comparison, the equivalent turbocharged Preve has a quoted 200 km/h top speed and 0-100 km/h time of 9.6 seconds, as well as a 8.2 litres per 100 km combined cycle fuel consumption.
Much of this can be explained by the kerb weight of the Suprima S, which is 1,375 kg for the Executive and 1,395 kg for the Premium. Essentially, the hatch is slightly heavier than the 1.6 Premium CFE Preve, which tips the scales at 1,340 kg. (more..)

Aster Data, which provides data management and data processing platform for big data analytic applications, today announced the delivery of over 30 ready-to-use advanced analytic packages and more than 1,000 MapReduce-ready functions to enable rapid development of rich analytic applications on big data sets.
The solution is a massively parallel database with an integrated analytics engine that leverages the MapReduce framework for large-scale data processing and couples SQL with MapReduce.
The expanded suite of pre-packaged SQL-MapReduce and MapReduce-ready functions accelerates the ability to build rich analytic applications that process terabytes to petabytes of data. [Disclosure: Aster Data, San Carlos, Calif., is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
We have found that analytics that previously took weeks to months of SQL coding can now be built in days with richer analytic power than what is possible with SQL alone.
Traditional data management platforms and analytic solutions do not scale to big data volumes and restrict business insight to views that only represent a sample of data, which can lead to undiscovered patterns, restricted analysis and missed critical events. MapReduce is emerging as a parallel data processing standard, but often requires extensive learning time and specialized programming skills.
Coupling the SQL language with MapReduce eliminates the need to learn MapReduce programming or parallel programming concepts. Other benefits of this coupling include:
- Making MapReduce applications usable by anyone with a SQL skill-set.
- Enabling rich analytic applications to be built in days due to the simplicity of SQL-MapReduce and Aster Data's suite of pre-built analytic functions.
- Delivering ultra-high performance on big data, achieved by embedding 100 percent of the analytics processing in-database, eliminating data movement.
- Automatically parallelizing both the data and application processing with SQL-MapReduce for extremely high performance on large data sets.
New functions
Aster Data also announced today a significant expansion in the library of MapReduce-ready functions available in Aster Data nCluster. The Aster Data nPath function is only one example of more than 1,000 functions now delivered through over 40 packages available with the Aster Data Analytic Foundation for Aster Data nCluster 4.5 and above.
These new functions cover a wide range of advanced analytic use cases from graph analysis to statistical analysis to predictive analytics, that bring extremely high value business functions out of the box that accelerate application development. Examples include:
- Text Analysis: Allows customers to "tokenize" count and position or count the occurrences of words as well as track the positions of words/multi-word phrases.
- Cluster Analysis: Includes segmentation techniques, like k-Means, which groups data into naturally occurring clusters.
- Utilities: Includes high value data transformation computations. For example developers can now simply unpack and pack nested data as well as anti-select, or allow the return of all columns except for those that are specified.
Aster also revealed new partners that are working closely with Aster Data's data-analytics server, nCluster, to simplify development of highly-advanced and interactive analytic applications that process extremely large data volumes. Partners using SQL-MapReduce for rich analytics include Cobi Systems, Ermas Consulting, and Impetus Technologies.
Amiya Mansingh of Cobi Systems said, "There's no question that Aster Data's solution and SQL-MapReduce offers a powerful, yet easy-to-use framework to build rich, high performance applications on big data sets. We have found that analytics that previously took weeks to months of SQL coding can now be built in days with richer analytic power than what is possible with SQL alone. "

WWF Hong Kong Mai Po: Wetland Management Training Course
WWF Hong Kong Mai Po
Wetland Management Training Course
In 1991, WWF Hong Kong began organising Wetland Management Training Courses based at the Peter Scott Field Studies Centre, Mai Po Nature Reserve. The site forms part of the Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay Ramsar Site, situated in the northwestern part of Hong Kong, P.R. China.
The aim of the training course, originally, was to promote the wetland consevation and mangement throughout China, and later on, the scope broadened to involve other countries in Asia. By the end of 1998, more than 50 Wetland Management Training Courses and 3 Environmental Education training courses have been organised.
Aims of the Training Course
The aims of the training course are:
- To promote awareness of and enhanced knowledge of the value of wetland ecosystems;
- To improve participants' skills and techniques in respect to wetland conservation and management practices;
- To use the Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay Ramar Site as a case field study case to demonstrate the practical applications of wetland reserve management and environmental education programmes;
- To provide an opportunity for participants to exchange their experiences, techniques and knowledge regarding wetland conservation and management, as well as environment education programmes.
Topics covered
The following topics will be covered:
- What are wetlands? Definition, characteristics (physical, biological - biodiversity), and classification
- What is the Ramsar Convention? Purpose, history, development and current issues;
- What are the values of wetlands? Functions, values and threats to wetlands;
- What is the wise use of wetlands? Definitions of wise use, wetland management – planning; monitoring, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and mitigation, Environmental Education.
These topics will be introduced through an integrated programme of classroom teaching, audio-visual programmes, round table discussions, management and planning practical exercises, and field visits. Key concepts and topics will be illustrated by examples from Hong Kong, Mainland China and elsewhere.
A Wetland Training Manual for the training course has been published in both English and simplified Chinese, and further reading material during the course can be borrowed from the library in the Peter Scott Field Studies Centre.
The WWF Hong Kong Mai Po Marshes Wildlife Education Centre and Nature Reserve will be used as a case study to demonstrate the different types and values of wetland, the wise use of wetlands, and the conservation and management of a wetland including for Environmental Education.
Field visits will be undertaken around the Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay Ramsar Site to illustrate the different threats facing wetlands, and how these threats can be resolved.
Optional visits may be arranged for some training courses where it is determined that such visits would be mutually beneficial to participating organisations, or where there is a special need. These visits may include meetings with various Hong Kong SAR Government departments, including the Agriculture and Fisheries Department and the Environmental Protection Department. Other visits include the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, and Country Park Visitor Centers.
The training course are targetted on those personnel who are responsible for activities relating to wetland management and conservation in the East Asia-Australasian Flyway, in particular China. These may include Government agencies at the national, provincial, county and municipal level, relevant NGOs, the private sector (including property developers), and academics.
Previously, participants have mainly come from the P.R. China, such as State Forestry Administration (previously known as the Ministry of Forestry), Ministry of Agriculture, State Oceanic Administration, and the Ministry of Communication (Transpotation). More recently, participants have also come from Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Course duration and frequency
Due to the different backgrounds and needs between nature reserve staff and policy makers, the duration of the training courses depends on the background, interest and requirements of the participants.
Wetland Management Training Courses are held for nature reserve staff. Each course has space for up to 11 participants and lasts for 9 days.
Wetland Conservation Study Tour are held for wetland policy makers. Each course has space for 3-10 participants and lasts for 8 days.
Up to 12 formal training courses are held each year.
Lectures and discussion are held in the Peter Scott Field Studies Centre lecture room, which is equipped with audio-visual facilities and a wetland library. Accommodation with air-conditioning and meals is provided in the Centre.
Personnel involvement
The success of running training courses relies heavily on following department and personal contribution:
- WWF HK's Mai Po Nature Reserve Manager: Mai Po Management;
- WWF HK's Environmental Education Officers at the Island House Conservation Studies Centre: Environmental Education;
- WWF HK's headquarters - conservation section, administration/fundraising section/communications section: Conservation and NGO in Hong Kong;
- Agriculture and Fisheries Department (AFD): Conservation in Hong Kong;
- AFD Fisheries management station and officers: Marine and fresh water fishery management of Hong Kong;
- AFD Country Park Visitor Centers and the education section of Ocean Park: environmental education facilities for the public and tourists, conservation in Hong Kong;
- Hong Kong SAR Government, Environmental Protection Department (EPD): Water quality monitoring, EIA in Hong Kong;
- EPD Environmental Resource and Centre/EPD Visitor Centre: environmental education work carried out by the Hong Kong SAR Government.
Post-training 'homework'
Knowledge and skills gained through the training programme will be reinforced after the course by requiring participants to undertake a small scale 'homework' project on their return to their place of work. These projects are a means of keeping in contact with participants and to encourage them to use what they have learnt on the course when they return to their homeland. The topics for these homework projects are designed in consultation with the Training Officer before the conclusion of the training programme, and need to be completed within six months.
Over the past 8 years, graduates on the course from China have assisted in establishing over thirty wetland reserves and over ten environmental education centers.
Training Programme 'Newsletter'
In order to promote networking among course participants a 'Newsletter' is published twice a year. It contains information about the activities of course alumni and matters of general interest about wetland conservation. It is distributed to all alumni.
The present charge is HK$5,500 (approx. US$ 720) per participant, which covers the cost for food, accommodation and transport whilst in Hong Kong, and a copy of the Training Manual.

4 ways to get your retirement number
There are many paths to retirement, and which path you take hinges on many factors. Make sure you reach your golden years with a financial plan.
When it comes to retirement planning, most of us are consumed by figuring out "the number" – that elusive savings goal we aim to hit by age 65, or there about.
Figuring out how much to save for retirement can be confusing, to say the least. You've got to factor in your current income, your retirement lifestyle expectations, inflation, income growth, returns and possible Social Security checks. To complicate matters, different financial planners and accountants recommend different calculations to find "the number."
Each calculation approach has its own pros and cons, and each will probably lead you to a different retirement goal. It's up to you to decide which approach or combination of approaches works best for your needs so that you can calculate your own retirement plan.
Keep in mind that there are top-down and bottom-up approaches to retirement goals. The top-down approach attempts to determine how big your nest egg will need to be at retirement, such as 25 times your annual expenses. The bottom-up approach seeks to determine how much you'll need to save each year to reach your goals, perhaps 15 percent of your salary.
Think about lifestyle first
Most retirement calculations assume you'll want to live a similar lifestyle to the one you're currently in once you retire. But because you'll generally have fewer expenses, like payroll taxes, work expenses and (hopefully) debt payments, you probably won't need to withdraw 100 percent of your current income during your retirement years.
The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that most retirees need about 70 percent of their pre-retirement income during retirement, though lower-income earners may need 90 percent or more of pre-retirement income. If you plan to travel and live it up, you'll need more, but if you plan to live a quiet, simple life at home, you may get by easily on less.
The point is that each of these approaches hinges on the question of what kind of lifestyle you want to lead in retirement, as this will have a huge impact on how much you need to save.
No. 1: The 'quick and dirty' approach
The "quick and dirty" approach described in this Kiplinger article is a very basic way of planning for retirement. Even though it's pretty simple, this approach can actually help you set realistic goals and motivate you to work towards them.
These formulas generally take Social Security into account, and make some basic assumptions that your salary will rise faster than the rate of inflation and your retirement accounts will meet basic return-on-investment thresholds, usually of around 5 or 6 percent.
Generally, these formulas simply set a savings goal based on saving anywhere from seven to 20 times your current annual salary. A benchmark of 11 times your salary is a commonly used estimate within this range.
No. 2: Safe savings rates
Recently, an associate professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo, Japan, Wade Pfau, proposed an interesting new theory for calculating retirement savings. While most other methods focus on minimum withdraw rates during retirement, the safe savings rates method focuses more on how much, at a minimum, you should save for retirement.
Pfau suggests creating savings guidelines that are based on historical data about the stock market. According to his article in the Journal of Financial Planning, this method treats "the number" and withdrawal rates "as almost an afterthought." Instead of focusing on meeting a particular end goal, you focus on following a strict savings plan. Pfau's tables can give you an idea of what percentage of income to save for retirement, based on your age.
No. 3: Age-based goals
Age-based retirement savings goals do focus on the end number, but this method of calculation actually gives you several smaller numbers along the way. These benchmarks help you see if you're on track for retirement savings, or if you need to ramp up your savings to hit your final goal in time.
Age-based benchmarks are often based on either a very complicated retirement goal calculation or on a "quick and dirty" calculation like the ones outlined above. One popular age-based goal list is from Fidelity Investments and suggests benchmarks like saving your annual income by 30, 3 times your annual income by 45 and 6 times your annual income by 60. Like end-goal quick calculations, this formula from Fidelity has some built-in assumptions, like having a 401k plan, retiring at 67, portfolio growth of 5.5 percent and no breaks in employment or saving.
No. 4: Complex retirement calculators
The above three options for finding your retirement number are relatively simple and straightforward. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but many of us would prefer a little more detail. In this case, there are a plethora of complicated retirement calculators that take everything from income goals to Social Security checks to inflation to annual interest into account before setting a retirement goal.
This article from Fox Business shows one possible way of calculating your number. The article's author asserts that the math isn't that hard (though it still doesn't take all the details into account), but it's still more complicated than most of us can handle on our own.
No option is perfect
Most financial planners will tell you that figuring out a retirement goal is more art than science. In the end, you're really just making an educated guess, since none of us knows exactly what the market will look like in ten months, let alone ten or more years.
When you're covering decades' worth of financial information and assumptions with a single calculation, expect things to get a little messy. But don't let that discourage you. Instead, let it motivate you to save as much as you can, so that you'll be secure during your golden years.

14 December 2009
When I first started collecting records, I bought based on authenticity rather than sound quality. If a record was a first issue, I'd choose that one over a newer, much later pressing. Well the audiophile has started in me and I can see myself becoming more "picky" towards the sound of my vinyl. This gradually happened by comparing this mix with that and listening for abnormalities and such. Since most of you that I have conversed with on this site still spin records, I'd like to "pick some brains" on a few such items.
1. Don't try the "Do it Yourself" record warp fix. I did as the directions stated and got two plates of glass, made a sanwich with the record in the middle and baked for 10 minutes at 200 degrees f. I don't know if I didn't let it cool off enough before I cleaned to play....anyway the warp flattened out some but it is still there and I have added a bunch more surface noise/static to the record. So pretty much I ruined a first edition "Rubber Soul" Parlophone pressing. It's best to find someone who professionally does it.
2. Vinyl cleaner. Outside of the "Discwasher" brand you can still buy in stores, I've researched a few recipes for making a cleaner. Right now I am using a mixture of 2 parts denatured alcohol, 1 part distilled water, and a drop of Dawn dishwashing liquid/soap in a spray bottle. I can say so far that it does "clean" the records and they look better. I've also started vacuuming my records while still wet with cleaner. Used to I would just brush them with the record brush until dry. Does anyone have any different recipes or processes? I also found these people http://www.discdoc.com They state in their directions to use the brush back and forth rather than "with the direction of the grooves". I am not sure which way is the best.
3. What's the difference between a ceramic stylus and a magnetic one? Ive got both and there are people who prefer one or the other. Which has the best sound? I am currently running an old Realistic turntable (Lab-59) only for the fact that it's a stackomatic. I don't really like the inconvenience of having to switch records so much with the single play units.

I have the EP Beatles collection (it was only published in the UK). The center really does give it away, because I have the "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" American single. That was the only way to tell the difference from first glance
Are there certain ways to keep your vinyl clean that I should know about? I do want to play it, and not just keep it boxed up, but I want to make sure that I keep it in good condition.

Not sure, but I want to know, because I bought a Tom Petty special edition vinyl, that I will sell in years, but I do want to listen to it. Any ideas?
19 March 2011
I usually go for first issues of vinyl. I like the older sound better than the remastered one. I like Stereo better than mono, too. I think that vinyl printed after the 80s (or just reissued ones) just sound different compared to the good old ones that I'm used to. I love the way that Revolver sounds on vinyl. That's why I want to keep it clean.

Spanish I Feel Fine 45. According to the Joe's discography (which doesn't have the bottom of the sleeve shaved off).
1 November 2012
I am perversely proud of certain things that should shame one... I started buying vinyl long ago, back in that misty ancient epoch called the 70s, and I still have about 100 or so LPs -- and they are in horrible condition. I'm just not the type of person who fastidiously keeps things clean, neat and orderly, I guess...
1 December 2009
When I switched to CDs, I basically never looked back, and got rid of a lot of records. But I've still got hundreds kicking around that I haven't been able to play in 20+ years! The majority I haven't needed to play, though, 'cause if it's really really worth listening to, I've probably got it on compact disc (or digital file.) Play quality varies widely, since probably 90% of them were bought second hand.

A Guest of Gary's
Seeking a day of adventure and inspiration, I went where "The Door is Always Open", Gary Baseman's solo exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center.
I was intrigued by Gary Baseman's exhibit even though I knew little about him and the story behind his unique illustrative style and whimsical characters. I attended due to my desire to learn more about his work and what factors in his life contributed to making him the successful artist he is today.

The first day of snowboarding: possibly one of life's most painful experiences.
I have never seen one human being so entirely covered in bruises; I felt like I'd just stepped out of the ring with Tyson. Hell, Tyson can't hit half as hard as some of those mogul-looking ice lumps that grace the mountains of the northeast corner of the U.S.
After seven years of skiing, I'd finally decided to try my hand at the sister sport. "It's so easy to learn, you'll be carving in no time," my friends assured me. They conveniently left out the part about being battered, thrashed – thoroughly pummeled, even – by the mountain.
My first time out was at Sugarloaf in Maine. We'd just had an enormous dump; the conditions were marvelous. Brand-new rental strapped to my feet, I looked up at this mountain looming up the fresh bright morning air, challenging me, daring me to ascend. I'd beaten the mountain on skis; now I would on a snowboard.
My brother, then an instructor at Ragged Mountain, told me he'd have me turning by midmorning.
Before we ever got to that point, he got bored with the lower lifts and we proceeded up the main lift to the summit. I then spent the next two hours of my life alternatively side-slipping down the mountain (still being completely unable to successfully execute a heel-side turn) or bouncing my face off of the steep sections, which the morning traffic had conviniently scraped clean of any snow, as I rolled downhill, a flailing mass of limbs dragging along 153 centimeters of wood and composites.
The toe-side and I were getting along fine; I just had a nasty habit of catching my edge when I shifted my weight to cut back heel-side. Catching an edge is like hurling your head into the ground full-force, only unexpected; I imagine that it's similar to being clipped from behind by a three-hundred-pound linesman.
And the next morning, though I succeeded in mastering the basic turning technique, even strapping on my board seemed like torture. The sunny promise of hours of voluntary abuse was like a vision of sugarplums dancing in my head.
And as soon as I got the hang of turning, of course, I headed to the terrain park to continue injuring myself there in floundering attempts to catch air.
I must really be a sadomasochist, because I haven't worn a pair of skis since. And I haven't really gotten much better at snowboarding either – just more used to the self-inflicted punishment. There's just no feeling like flinging myself into the air at high speeds and contorting my body into spins and grabs that inevitably make for ever-more-painful crash landings.
God, I love this sport!

The case for design patents in manufacturing and industrial technologies
Many companies will continue to ignore design patents, which leaves the door wide open for those companies who spend a little extra to obtain design patents rather than only seeking traditional utility patent protection.

The problem is that the questions that are asked are guaranteed to get almost the exact same boring response from every top arena player. I mean seriously, "What's your plan?". Ask any Arena player (Hell as a boxer I'd say ask any fighter period) and if they aren't straight up autistic they'll say they adapt to what their opponent plans to do. The old saw goes "Everyone has a plan until they get in the face", and the inverse is also true "Everyone has a face until they get hit in their game plan" ;)

The Peacemaker (#73)
As someone who's a fan of that particular brand of 90s post-Cold War peripheral quasi-political action movie where the Russians are the arbitrary bad guys (achoo, The Saint), I enjoyed this. It's George Clooney early in his film career, so he's still a little restrained, and Nicole Kidman is positively pristine. I love it when female directors pull off action films, and Mimi Leder does a very solid job here (even if she's not overly inspired and went on to direct the depressing Thick As Thieves/The Code). While the beginning and certain sections drag in self indulgence, it's good on the whole and features a great car sequence with Clooney and Kidman, whose relationship evolves really nicely. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to watch it again, but I liked it and it's streaming on Netflix.

Intubation Trick
It´s tricky intubating a patient when your hands are shaking and look like a claw!
After a long or difficult mask ventilation, hand over the airway for a short break before intubation so your hands are rested. If you are alone think about inserting an LMA first.

Croup And Cough Recipe
Author: Darby Line

Posted: 10-07-2007

Word Length: 90
Questions received: 0
Keywords: croup, cough, ravensara, melaleuca, lavender, lemon
A friend of mine called saying her children (ages 3.5 and 5) were miserable with a croupy cough, and asked if I could suggest some oils to help. I mixed the following together for her:
8 drops ravensara
3 drops melaleuca alternifolia
3 drops lavender
2 drops lemon
48 drops V-6 mixing oil
I suggested she rub a couple of drops on her kids' chests, backs and soles of feet. She called back later that day to report that within 15 minutes of putting the oils on, both children stopped coughing!
Thank God for these wonderful oils!

Does Blizzard understand how much they are pissing off players actually trying to play the game? The people they want to buy the Wrath expansion? It's not fun, it's frustrating, it makes me want to say to things to Blizzard I can't say in this forum.
I had to go to Ratchet to get into my bank, but got infected. I was able to get to the AH in Darnassus, but got infected.
Blizzard, I give you half the Victory salute.
Different strokes, I guess...this is actually the most fun I've had in the game in some time. Punching through Stormwind's trade district in order to deliver the artifact to King Varian was a blast.
I dunno, maybe I'm just lucky, but I haven't experienced any huge disruptions. Zombies on my server seem content to leave the Aldor bank alone, and I've yet to run into any waiting outside raid zones or instances (I was sure that SM would be a popular hangout, but nada). Most I've had to do is wait for the Wharfmaster in Ratchet to respawn so I could turn a quest into him.

MICROBExpress (patent pending) is currently the only commercially available bacterial mRNA purification kit. It uses a novel strategy that rapidly removes >95% of the 16S and 23S rRNA from total RNA of E. coli and other bacterial species (Figure 1). MICROBExpress can be used with total RNA obtained by a variety of methods, including glass fiber filter-based methods (such as Ambion's RNAqueous Kits), and phenol-based methods (such as Ambion's RiboPure-Bacteria Kit). The mRNA isolated with MICROBExpress is a superior template for synthesizing labeled cDNA for array analysis and is ideal for quantitative RT-PCR, Northern applications, and cDNA library construction.
Quick and Specific Removal of rRNA
In the first step of the MICROBExpress procedure, total RNA is mixed with an optimized set of capture oligonucleotides that bind to bacterial 16S and 23S rRNAs. Next, the rRNA hybrids are removed from the solution using derivatized magnetic microbeads. The mRNA remains in the supernatant and is recovered by ethanol precipitation. In addition to purifying bacterial mRNA that is virtually free of 16S and 23S rRNA, this method also delivers the benefits of quick processing (less than 2 hours), ease of handling, and scalability.
Figure 1. Depletion of Bacterial 16S and 23S rRNA with MICROBExpress.
16S and 23S rRNAs were selectively removed from a 10 g E. coli
total RNA sample using the MICROBExpress Kit. A second 10 g sample
of the same total RNA prep was subjected to a m

Hello everyone!! I'm new to this site, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Here's my question...I have noticed that some of you have forms that have the Pampered Chef Hat on them. Where do you get access to these pictures/logos? Thanks for your help. I look forward to chatting with you all. I have read some wonderful ideas.

Tammy, I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking.
I also get other logos from the forms i download from the consultants corner. It opens in Adobe Reader, and there is a little icon in there to take a snapshot of a selected area (select by clicking left mouse button and draging) and then it copies the selected area to the clipboard and then i paste it in Word or wherever i'm working.
I was wondering also! Thanks for the help!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I strongly suspect that neither Jyotai, nor Langis have been above 2300 rating in arenas.
If permitted that assumption, it's safe to conclude that their opinions on PvP are those of the novice or beginner. Beginners will frequently be thrown into battle against highly skilled players (who have gear because they took the time to earn it) and often mistakenly conclude the gear is the only difference.
This is the one true fallacy of the beginner. PvP is entirely different from PvE. As en example, Cataclysm's final tier of raiding brings 8 bosses. That is eight different fights to master. Each one takes analysis, an assessment of individual/group ability, and much practice.
Consider that WoW PvP brings 30 different class specializations to the game- capable of arranging themselves in many different teams. Furthermore, the synergy between teams greatly varies with their composition. Thus the number of possible combinations is vastly larger than all the boss encounters of an entire expansion. That is a lot of scenarios to master- it takes time!
That is why I am looking forward to MoP. The addition of another class adds more than just three specializations of complexity. Additionally, the introduction of base resilience will help to reduce the frustration that new PvPers mistakenly attribute to gear issues alone. Instead, it will help to refocus people on the real issue: practice and skill.
Let me also offer these words of encouragement. When people in arenas start accusing you, or your team of being bad, ignore them. Validating their comments with a response only feeds the communication. The person who says this is really just frustrated that the team lost. There's nothing wrong with being frustrated. Losing is not as fun as winning, generally. You are not bad. You are merely learning. Stick with it, ignore the jerks, and seek out people that actually help you improve.
Then one day, you might see them again on the battlefield- and when you beat them, you can show them how to win with class.

Gardening resources for schools
Georgia teachers looking to start or enhance their school's garden now have an online resource, thanks to UGA's College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences.
The UGA Extension School Garden Resource Center offers kindergarten through eighth-grade lesson plans that use school gardens to teach the state curriculum. Horticulture Professor David Knauft collected and adapted the school garden lesson plans to make it easier for teachers to use their school gardens or to start new ones. During his research, which included focus groups with teachers, school administrators and volunteers, he found that many teachers felt like they didn't have time for gardening during the school day and didn't have the support they needed to maintain the gardens.
Knauft first learned the importance of linking enrichment activities with state-mandated curriculum when he helped develop Project Focus, a UGA program that gives college students the opportunity to teach curriculum-based science in elementary and middle school classrooms. In addition to the lesson plans, the website has a comprehensive guide on how to start and maintain a school garden and a list of grants and funding sources for school and community gardens. It also includes resources from other state extension agencies, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and nonprofit organizations. Kaiser Permanente's Partnership for a Healthier America helped fund the project.

Summer Launches
- Details
- Last Updated: Saturday, 23 August 2014 08:30
Due to summer fire season we are prohibited from having summer launches here in Idaho. However, that does not apply to everywhere in the Northwest U.S.. Several other regional and national launches are scheduled in the NW this summer, and most are not a long drive away. Oregon Rocketry sponsors several summer launches close by in the town of Brothers, Oregon, near the city of Bend. These launches are just a few hours drive from Boise and are very well attended. Finally, the annual XPRS launch will also be held in September -- with many club members making the annual pilgrimage. You can find more information about these launches from our Launch Schedule page or by attending one of our monthly meetings. Hope to see you there!

There's something beautiful about the idea of rescuing an unwanted dog and restoring it's health, then training it up to become a valuable life-saving Service Dog. You can be apart of this by purchasing a shirt that supports service dogs for children with disabilities!
This is Riley Graham. He is 4 years old and disappeared from his home in Nambucca Heads NSW today (3/10/2012). He has Down syndrome and is believed to have left with his three dogs, which is one kelpie and two fox terriers. If as many people as possible can repost this and make his face known there is a higher chance of him being found, hopefully unharmed.

If you've posted anything in this most recent post, I thought I'd let you know that it hasn't posted properly. As far as the colouring goes, you just need to work in some light and shadow. Imagine a light source coming from one side, and draw the opposing side in shadow. Just use darker shades of the colours you've already used for now, though as you get more experienced, you can use slightly different hues and saturation to make it more realistic.
I don't think the colouring is a major issue. Yes it needs work, but it will come when you get more comfortable with whatever digital program you use. The line quality however, needs more practice. Try to keep the line steady -which I can't do digitally, I'm like a chimp with a spachula when I try to use a tablet- and vary your line weights.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A new sports tourism attraction could be on its way to the beach.
The Grand Strand has seen multi-million dollar facilities for baseball, softball, and basketball but now it's time to get horses out of the stable. Horry County and City of Myrtle Beach leaders are breaking in the idea of a new regional equestrian facility.
Area leaders are having discussions to add an equestrian center to the list of sports tourism venues in the Myrtle Beach area. This would be a center just miles away from the beach that will feature all types of horse related events to rope in people and their wallets. The center would feature competitions, rodeos and even bull riding.
There currently are similar venues in Camden and Robeson County, but leaders think this regional facility is bound to be successful since 14 million people travel to Myrtle Beach each year.
Horry County Councilman Brent Schulz says an equestrian center could tap into the interest of different tourists to make them more interested in visiting the Grand Strand.
"You'll see competition, but a lot of people who come here own horses," explained Schulz. "And they never bring them down here, but we have if we can get this facility pulled off it'll be another venue that they can enjoy."
The facility is planned to span across 150 acres, but is expected to bring in a much larger economic impact. Schulz says a recent CCU study discovered that an equestrian center could draw about $75 million to the beach. That's a figure those invested in the horse related industry say no one should turn down.
"It would help everybody," said Rock Smith, who owns a horse related business. "Motels, restaurants, people like us who are in the horse business and everything else it would draw a lot more interest in this area."

Kim Oliver has had her Siamese Meesha since Kim was just a teenager. Oliver says, "She's like a roommate and best friend."
Now, the two have come to Georgia Veterinary Rehabilitation in Marietta, hoping Meesha can come back from a paralyzing stroke in April. Oliver says, "She started leaning to the left side and she just, eventually, she just tipped over. And she wasn't able to really move, or go to the restroom on her own. Or feed herself on her own."
GVR veterinarian Dr. Jill Bailey, says, "We don't feel like she's unhappy. We feel like this is quite a big bump in the road, and it's worth working with her and trying to get her back, absolutely."
An underwater treadmill seems to be helping,
GVR veterinarian Dr. Jill Bailey and Meesha step inside what looks like a giant fish tank and turn on the water.
At first, Meesha is not liking the looks of this.
But when she's lowered, she's calm.
So, they slowly start the treadmill.
This is only Meesha's second time on the underwater treadmill. Here in the water, she's been able to stand up, and walk, for the first time since her stroke.
Dr. Bailey says, "She does walk with her head tilted to the side, so that makes it a little more challenging for her."
The water holds Meesha's weakened legs up, while Dr. Bailey guides her through the motions of walking, trying to to help her brain - and muscles - remember how to walk. They call this neurological gait training. Dr. Bailey says, "If we support them, we find they're much more able to get their gait back. It's important for her to be able to navigate the house at home."
But how do you even get a cat to do this? Kim Oliver says, "I bathe Meesha once a day in our little sink at home, so she's always been a cat that's been kind of conditioned to getting in the water."
Though Meesha doesn't go quietly. The whole session, she's meowing.
Dr. Bailey says, "She loves to complain, but it's all just talk, she loves and loves and loves to talk. You can hear her complaining and swishing her tail. But she's never offered to do anything mean to any of us."
The GVR team is not just water, but Chinese medicine and acupuncture, to try to get Meesha back on her feet. Kim Oliver says, "It's been 8 months since her original diagnosis, and honestly, I think she's doing better than she ever has, compared to when she first started out."
When her session is over, Meesha is rewarded with a nice, big warm towel. She's still complaining, but no worse for the wear.
Meesha is the first cat to use GVR's underwater treadmill. Many dogs have used the device, which GVR says can be helpful for animals with arthritis and neurological conditions, and for pets who are overweight. The water supports them, so they can exercise without cause too much stress on their joints. An underwater treadmill session costs about $80, and pets must be examined and evaluated before taking part in a session.

Look at the odds against him. I'll probably die of a heart attack if he is acquitted of every charge.Jerry Sandusky's lawyer, Joe Amendola • Speaking earlier today about his client's chances of getting acquitted. Sandusky is learning about his fate now.
We'll be covering it here. Keep an eye on this tag for more.
Matt Sandusky, through his attorney Andrew Shubin, said that he met with prosecutors this week to say for the first time that he is a molestation victim of Jerry Sandusky, his adopted father. Matt, 33, was adopted by Jerry and Dottie Sandusky as an adult, after going to live with the family as a foster child.
He has denied ever being abused by his adopted father until now. "This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy. There will be no further comment," Shubin said in a statement.
Matt Sandusky would have offered to testify against the former Penn State assistant coach, according to Shubin.
UPDATE: NBC News now reports that Jerry Sandusky did not testify because the prosecution threatened to use Matt Sandusky as a witness if he did.

The interior is not remotely my style so I can't say I like it, but the outside is adorable and I like the combination of the paint color and the pink flowers.
I like your home very much but the furnishings are not to my taste (which so doesn't matter) - good for you!
The decor is not my style but what I love is the absence of lots of stuff and the utility of your space. I would have loved to see the loft though.
I like this tiny home. It's nice to see a traditional interior for a change, although I am not a fan of floral prints. The exterior is just adorable.
Lois, I love your home. It is my style! I especially love the pink walls. You've used the space well. And the exterior is to die for.
What a cozy cottage! Love it!
a perfectly charming home, very sweet
I think your home is very charming and lovely :)
I love all the wood. And the outside..oh my goodness...too adorable. Love it.
Your home is simply adorable, Lois, and so inviting!
Well if nothing else, the outside is really fantastic!
the outside is just too adorable - its like a houses in those christmas village sets
The wood in your kitchen and living room make the spaces seem especially inviting, like a combination log-cabin/cottage. Your fireplace is great too. All in all, it seems like a very charming, traditional, yet somewhat unique space. You've done a nice job Lois, of making your home look very homey! Good luck with your roof.:)
From one Michigander to another . . . you get my vote. The outside of the house is cute even though the inside is not to my modern taste. I can see where you'd make some changes if you had extra money. Good luck.
What Pi said!
I was surprised that the outside was so "cottage-y" while the inside said "Lodge" to me. Very sweet, both in and out!
Lois, I love the exterior of your home, including the paint color. All of the warm wood in the interior is fantastic. It looks like a very cozy home with a lodge like feel. The loft is intriguing, it makes me wonder what is up there.
Inside isnt my taste in decor... but OMG outside is so so so special. I could just hug it.
You get my vote. I so love the outside of this cozy home. It is very inviting.
It's absolutely lovely, inside and outside. So charming and cozy and inviting. You have my vote. Good luck!
I love the outside of your lovely cottage. The garden in front is wonderful. I love the tiny front porch, and I'll bet you enjoy relaxing there with a book and a cup of coffee or tea, or a cold lemonade in the summer. Your big yellow dog looks sweet and right at home.
Charming home!

Score from 113 reviews Excellent
Shuttle bus staff very helpful
Tired room
.great place to go after getting off a long flight, to rest and refresh before moving on to the next destination.
Since it is 'the airport hotel', I would expect to be able to walk to it from the terminal. We were not informed how to use the hotel shuttlebus and jaywalking across 4 lane roads is not ideal
Location - quality of bed & bedding
The coffee machine is an odd choice. Difficult to fill up and messy to use, but the jetlag might have had something to do with that ;-)
So close to airport you could practically walk to terminal. Wouldn't stay there for any other reason than you were going in/out of airport, though - nothing of note around there and tourists would be v. disappointed. Clean, comfortable and remarkably quiet for being right next to an airport.
Information or directions from inside airport to shuttle for hotel.
The food was excellent
The left turn off the airport rd
Location. Cleanliness
Paid top dollar for overnight when flight cancelled. Then had to pay extra for wifi, a second cup of coffee...
We rcive a very good service
You need to pay to wi fi in the room
The location.
Clean, cozy, convenient to transfer my flights
No good food
Location on Airport terminal Shuttle to terminal / gate
Excellent location. 5m walk from Terminal B. Very clean. Very comfortable. The best for our needs.
Breakfast should be included.
Location, Good size room and bed
Desk staff quick but info re shuttle to terminal inadequate. towels small Tea supplies insufficient and only paper cups supplied. toilettry supplies given for 1 person not 2 Worst of all No duvet cover!!!! merely flat sheets either side of duvet - horrible
Convenient access to Newark Airport and shuttle service direct to airline terminals
$15.95 a day charge for internet access. Free at Marriott Courtyards and Residence Inns. Rates justify it being free here also.
The location, hassle free transport shuttle, quality of room and general facilities.
A little pricey for room. But only say that on advertised costs of alternative hotels. Usual levy on cost of food and drinks in house at hotels. It would cost a lot to attain complete social satisfaction.... If you get my drift......
The proximity to the airport
The toilet was not working properly and it was late at night. I had to contact the staff 3 times and finally went to front desk for another room but they were booked. Maintenance finally arrived and replaced the mechanism. It was after 11:30 pm. The carpet was also very wet on the side near the windows.
Fair service
Like that it is at the airport
Dislike that the staff at the airport are so unhelpful in telling how to reach your hotel. You should have a talk with the airport autorities about this. We were give wrong information, and it was no mistake, on what bus to take to the pick-up location and had to find out ourself. As it was now your hotel could just as well be far away
Near the airport Impressive reception area
I had a reservation for a queen double room which should have had 2 queen beds for 2 adults + 2 kids. After a 9 hours flight I arrived to Marriott hotel with two starving and really tired kids. The staff said that they had had issues and the best thing they could offer is a room with a bed + additional single bed. They did not offer any other compensation and we were forced to accept. The morning after we asked about the complaints procedure. They gave us 30$.
Position is excellent.
Nothing in particular
disappointed that there was not a fridge in the room....it as small
There was no effort spared, at The Marriott, to make us comfortable. We wanted for nothing. Next time we are in the area, there is only one choice of where we will stay
There is nothing to not like

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2005 Vasse Felix Shiraz is a deep, dark ruby with black tinges. The wine has a lifted, clean nose showing intense tinned black cherries and fragrant oak perfumes of cinnamon, vanilla and some sutble charry notes. As the wine is allowed to breath, delicate nuances of lavendar and juniper berries appear with hints of licorice and dark chocolate adding further complexity. A rich, juicy palate shows concentrated blackberry tart flavors with some charry notes from the oak used during maturation. The berry fruit flavors carry through the mid-palate with complexity increased by the presence of firm, yet rounded tannins and spicy savory flavors supporting a crisp, clean acidity.
"Vivid purple-red; an elegant, spicy mix of black and red fruits plus a dash of chocolate; fine, silky, smooth mouthfeel, the tannins perfectly ripe and balanced."
95 Points
Australian Wine Companion
"Vasse Felix's 2005 Shiraz offers up a powerful, pungent blend of stewed fruit, cedar and dried spices, resulting in a wine that impresses more for its power and intensity than its elegance. It's the right match now with a grilled steak, but should mellow and become more civilized by 2012."
90 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Deep ruby color. Ripe cherry and dark berry aromas are complicated by cola, vanilla bean and baking spices. Dark berries and cherry compote on the palate, with supple tannins adding shape. Picks up cracked pepper and anise nuances on the finish, which offers solid flavor punch without excess weight. "
