Hey everyone,
Im looking for some reference pics of the cheese grater hand armor for the sandtroopers. I was requested to make a set for someone, and Ive seen them before, and they arent difficult from what I saw to re-produce. Apparently theres a need for them? Any ways, I dont think it will be to hard to sculpt if I get the proper reference pictures and such, Thanks guys!

Heeeeeey! How goes it? Did you have a fabulous weekend? I was pretty busy this past week. My mom and kid brother were up (I've actually had my brother here for two weeks..) so I was busy trying to entertain them… Lots of singing and dancing going on over here.. lol.. and with everyone here I began realizing we need a bigger house! It gets kinda crowded with 3 kids, a hubby, a grandma, a 14yo brother.. and a pregnant chick. No room for anymore visitors! Not to mention of animals. I need SPACE!
And yeah… you read that right! Pregnant chick.. ME! Holy crud, peeps… I am preggers! Baby #4 is on the way! While I have been in a near pregnancy induced coma, I managed to get some projects done. Anyone who has been pregnant knows how exhausting it is at first. I just want to nap and eat ice and cheese, lol. Now of course I am getting busy with CHA work. It's gonna be a crazy crafty two weeks for me… and then I plan to take a week long nap. HA! Suuuure. Three kids home for summer? Not happening.
I know.. three kids.. I already complain about having to craft late at night while they are in bed.. oh, hey.. here's an idea! Let's have another! lol. I honestly can't wait to have a wittle cute baby again!
Really though, we are completely excited! All my kids are two years apart.. this one will be 6 years apart from my youngest. Some friends have said, "I can't believe you want to start all over again".. puh-lease! I just saw that baby swings now come with plug in adapters! (some of them) That alone is enough to get pregnant, lol. My hubby and I use to always say the baby swing companies must have had some deals with the battery companies because we could never find a 'plug in' swing.
So that's my exciting news of the week! I am hoping when this baby is born to do a 'Project Life' type album for the baby's first year.. I already know I will fail at this, lol.
Alrighty. Moving on to some patriotic favor boxes I made for Little Yellow Bicycle. I used the new Vintage Summer collection.. which is amazing! I think this is my favorite recent LYB collection. I like that you can go patriotic with red, white, and blue.. but not so 'in your face' patriotic craziness with fireworks, tons of stars, flags, etc.
So here's my first favor box, a star shaped box made from the SVG Cuts Stars and Stripes SVG Kit.
I love the chipboard pieces in this collection.. those 'milk caps' are fabulous!
And of course ya gotta have the stick pins!
Next up was this square box with star cut outs I found in the Silhouette store. Really simple and easy to assemble.
I always love the paper crafting kits LYB makes… I am a big fan of rosettes!
And whoa.. the 4th of July is almost here! Kinda crazy how fast this year seems to be going by.. I mean.. didn't we just have Christmas? Better hurry and get our pool up! Before I know it fall will be here.. which excites me! I LOVE the fall.. I am ready to pull out all my pumpkins again!
OK, I will see ya later! Thanks for stopping by!

text: During his college search, Charly was looking for a strong education program, small classes and a great rugby team. RWU had all three, and Charly wasted no time getting involved on campus -- as a Health and Wellness Educator, a member of the History Honor Society, the President of RWU's SAFE (Sexual Advocacy for Everyone) program, and an integral part of the rugby team (which ended the season ranked second in the nation!). An activist on campus, Charly spearheaded a gender-neutral housing proposal and is part of a pilot program for a new minor in Gender Studies. Thanks to two early education internships, Charly is considering a career in speech and education therapy for young children. Charly is following his passions while advocating for progress both on campus and beyond. What will you do?

I have a Toshiba laptop which I use on board my boat. The boat has two 85 AH batteries. What would be the power consumption of my laptop?
Jim Sexton responds:
Assuming that your two 85 AH batteries are fully charged, connected in parallel, and that youre running your Toshiba through the cigarette lighter adapter with 100 percent efficiency, you could expect your computer to run for about 56 hours (three amps into 170 AH) before your batteries go dead. This also assumes that you are not running anything else off the batteries like your GPS, radio, running lights, etc., and that your Toshiba can operate at 12 volts (it's rated at 15 volts) without tripping the internal reset due to low voltage. The only way to know this is to try it out or contact Toshiba, if you can't find any information on low-voltage operation in the user's manual.
Realistically, you should use the inverter because it operates at close to 90 percent efficiency and uses less than two amps of power. In this case you could expect your computer to operate for a maximum of 30 hours (five amps into 170 AH times 90 percent) before the batteries go dead. Again, I'm assuming that you have only the computer and inverter hooked up to the batteries. If you are using anything else, you need to determine its amperage and add that total to the five amps for the computer and the inverter, then divide that into 170 and multiply by 80 percent. (Other electrical/electronic units are not as efficient.) Of course, after the ship's batteries go dead, you can expect another two to three hours from the computer's internal battery. I would also recommend that you connect a voltmeter to your ship's batteries and keep an eye on it when you are using the computer or any other electronics solely on the batteries.

The Avett Brothers
Twomey and the Avetts decided to document their side project in 2000, and "the Back Door Project" was renamed the Avett Brothers with the release of a self-titled album that same year. Nemo broke up before 2000 came to a close, and Seth and Scott decided to make the Avett Brothers their new priority. They amicably parted ways with Twomey and added upright bassist and vocalist Bob Crawford to the combo. After a few months of playing live shows, the new trio recorded its second album, 2002's Country Was. The Avett Brothers hit the road upon the album's release that summer, and used the opportunity to break in material for their next studio project, A Carolina Jubilee, which was released in 2003. (A live disc, Live at the Double Door Inn, was sandwiched between the two studio sets.)
Over the next several years, the Avett Brothers maintained a busy and prolific schedule. They released a lengthy and ambitious studio album, Mignonette, in 2004, another live disc in 2005, and both a full-length album (Four Thieves Gone: The Robinsville Sessions) and an EP (The Gleam) in 2006, all recorded during breaks in the group's heavy touring calendar. As if this weren't enough to keep the three men occupied, Crawford also recorded and performed with his side project New Jersey Transient, Seth Avett released albums under the moniker Darling, and Seth and Scott occasionally played shows with their electric band Oh What a Nightmare. In 2007, with cellist Joe Kwon added to the lineup, the Avett Brothers reached a new level of popularity with Emotionalism, their first album to make a dent on the Billboard charts. Rick Rubin took notice and signed the band to American Recordings, his own division of Sony BMG/Columbia, during the following summer.
The Gleam II, issued just several months later, was the Avett Brothers' last release on the Ramseur label, while 2009's I and Love and You served as their major-label debut. The album peaked at number 16, by far the band's highest chart placement to date, and the international tour that followed was partially documented on the 2010 concert album Live, Vol. 3. In 2011 the Avett Brothers received an invitation to perform alongside Bob Dylan and Mumford & Sons at the Grammy Awards, and in 2012 they released The Carpenter, their second studio album under the tutelage of Rubin. The Carpenter was greeted with good reviews and debuted at number four on the Billboard Top 200 on its way to a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album. In 2013, the Avett Brothers released Magpie and the Dandelion, which consisted of material recorded with Rubin during the sessions for The Carpenter, and it charted at number five. The following year, they continued to tour extensively and began recording another album with Rubin. Meanwhile, in early 2015, Seth Avett partnered with folk-influenced indie rocker Jessica Lea Mayfield to release a collection of solemn Elliott Smith covers titled Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield Sing Elliott Smith, and that April, the band appeared on the final season of the long-running Late Show with David Letterman, joined by Brandi Carlile. Late in the year, they issued Live, Vol. 4. Their ninth studio long-player, True Sadness, arrived in June 2016. ~ Mark Deming

Saw the Avett Bros so many times in tiny venues before they hit big, and when it was just Seth and Scott w/a toy kick drum. Fun to remember!!!
I would be sad because of all the lies you have told me.
I would be sad because i got left by a boy who I adored.

>I am going to need precise details on how to use this stuff. OK according to his instructions, I measure out the 4 tsps into a gallon of water.(cold water??) I guess I would shake the jug until mixed really good. Then pour some of this to fill up a spray bottle. Does this sound good so far??Yes.>When I go up to spray the hives. Would I then remove one frame at a time, shake all the bees off and spray the frame, both sides, with the stuff??Or just spray it with the bees on it. But it's probably good to shake them off.> Does the frame have to be wet from the spray???Just a mist all over it. It doesn't have to be soaked.>Then what do I do?? Place the wet frame back into the hive or wait until it drys??Put it back in.> So I do each and every frame in the hive, including the honey frames and the brood frames???Yes.> NOt sure about this part. I do not feel comfortable spraying the open brood frames.It won't hurt.
This BT is a bacteria that affects the wax moths right?
How long does it last?
Does it spread to other frames in same box?
And where do I get it?
(obviously I can't say forever, especially with you Jerry :-P)

Biological Sciences
Chair: Professor Jones
Professors: Bevington, Husic, Kuserk; Associate Professor: Fox; Assistant Professors: Irish, Mosovsky; Visiting Assistant Professors: Christensen, Thévenin; Faculty Associates: Cheever (nursing), Johnson (psychology)
The mission of the Department of Biological Sciences is to instill in students an understanding and appreciation of the common thread that connects modern biological study at all levels, from molecules to ecosystems. We strive to actively engage students in the process of scientific investigation, develop their spirit of inquiry, strengthen their ability to explore in both field and laboratory, hone their analytical and quantitative skills, and foster their capacity to communicate effectively with professional peers and the public. By helping students become independent thinkers and intellectually vibrant individuals, we hope to enable them to achieve a lifetime of personal and professional success and service to society.
Biology today encompasses a very broad range of knowledge, from atoms and molecules to large-scale ecological interactions. As a result, the department supports a variety of life science programs at Moravian: biochemistry, environmental studies and sciences, neuroscience, nursing, and rehabilitation sciences. The program in biology at Moravian College emphasizes the importance of gaining appreciation for, and some mastery of, all aspects of modern biology as well as the interdisciplinary connections across the sciences. This broad base of knowledge gives our majors the ability to succeed in all arenas calling for biological expertise: teaching at all levels; academic, government, private, and industrial research; science journalism and law; professional fields such as medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and optometry; allied health areas such as physical and occupational therapy; and graduate study.
Biology majors use contemporary methodological approaches in laboratories, learn about the intricacies of the subject in class, and discuss recent research findings in seminars and other upper-level courses. All students are encouraged to participate in an independent study or Honors project, in which they work closely with a member of the biology faculty on an original research topic. In addition, students may participate in internship opportunities to see how they might put their education to use after graduation.
The Major in Biology
The major in biology consists of nine course units, including Biology 112, 119, 210, either 265 OR 328, and 370. The remaining four courses are selected by the student in consultation with the major advisor; at least three of these courses must be at the 200-level or higher. Students also may earn elective credits by taking Special Topics, Independent Study, Internship, and Honors in Biology. At least three of the student's elective courses must have an associated laboratory and/or scientific research component. Only one external internship can count as a biology elective. Biology 100, 102, 103, 104, 107, 205, 206, and 209 do not count as courses in the major or minor. The student who majors in biology must take Mathematics 106–166 or 170 or 107, Chemistry 113–114 and Chemistry 211–212. Students considering graduate work in biology or medical sciences should take Physics 109–110 or 111–112.
The Minor in Biology
The minor in biology consists of five course units: Biology 112 or 119 and four additional courses, three of which must be at the 200-level or higher. Biology 100, 102, 103, 104, 107, 205, 206, and 209 do not count toward the minor.
The Interdepartmental Major
The six courses that compose Set I of the interdepartmental major in biology include Biology 112 or 119. The remaining courses in biology and the six courses of Set II are selected by the student with the approval of the advisor.
Departmental Recommendations
Students considering graduate work in biology or the medical sciences should consider courses in economics, statistics, and computer science.
Students seeking certification to teach biology in secondary school must complete the requirements for a departmental major with a GPA of at least 3.00. Students also must complete the requirements for certification described under education and science education. Students interested in combining biology and general science certification should consult the requirements for general science certification under science education.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by doublead, Sep 6, 2006.
what you most lookin forward to seeing in camp
Nazr Flip installing the vaunted Georgetown press Rip - because I just love Rip
[STRIKE]Ben Wallace[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Darko Milicic[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Michael Curry[/STRIKE] [SIGN]THE BRAHMA![/SIGN]
Delfino. FLip Murray. Maxiel
New numbers. The 05/06 ones are getting worn out. And of course, that brief shining moment when all is new and fresh and all things are possible. And all the new smilies.
Super Dup going airborn!
Is Flip to wear the #11??
More "hopeful of seeing" than "looking forward to seeing" but mine are: 1. The bench players getting plenty of practice and PT to show what they can do. 2. A longer leash to be able to learn from their mistakes without fear of being burried at the end of the bench. 3. Flip Sr. to have learned from his many, many mistakes last season and to actually practice what he preaches when it really matters - during the games.
1. Nazr 2. Improved Delfino 3. Maxiell 4. Flip's "system" without Ben Wallace fouling it up. (Seriously. If Flip really thinks that the 4 time DPOY couldn't contribute to his system, then there should be no excuses now.) 5. Hooper's new moves.
I'm most curious about Delfino. If he's ready to make the leap into being a major contributor, especially defensively, it will make a big difference. I also want to see what Rip and Tay have been adding to their games over the summer. They're both young enough that it's reasonable to expect something--e.g., more rebounding from Rip, and more consistent scoring from Tay.
I hope they keep the invites to a minimum since they can't seem to play who they already have. Give Maxiel, Delfino, Blaylock and Johnson some serious time. Also would not mind seeing Samb get a chance.
Oh, I forgot this was about training camp. Disregard my former post. 1. Maxiell 2. Delfino 3. Samb
You know we had a whole summer to complain and crack jokes about Flip and Ben leaving. Its starting to get redundant at this point. Time to move on.
I wasn't cracking jokes. I thought the thread was about the regular season, and thats why I changed my post.
you know, re #11, this Ben thing has really underscored for me the value of a player who is truly, truly worth a retired number. I half wanted to give Darko #11 when he wanted it, if only not to end up in a Sam Bowie situation. Now I see that really you've got to treasure the guys who stick with you and perform when it counts.
Point taken, I am sure Flip is just as dissapointed about Ben leaving as everyone else is. As the head coach you can't exactly dwell on it. Have to make use of what you have. Flip did say he is going to play a much longer bench so we should see some things develope in the pre-season.
I am looking forward to seeing what are new players can do as a team,as well as with a team.
I am looking forward to watching the rookies and our new players and to find out who will fill the 15th spot on the roster.
Has there been any indication Samb is going to be at training camp? I thought the plan was for him to remain overseas for now. Did that change? If it didn't then he won't be in camp. If it did, then I don't much like it. He's not ready and there's no sense wasting a year.
I don't see it as a year wasted myself. If I remember correctly, he's playing for a second tier Spanish League Club. The level of competition probably isn't even comparable to the ABA. Let's remember, he's 22. I'd rather see Samb and Blalock in the D-League with Maxiell and Johnson spending all of their time with the big club. I don't want to see Rick Rickert make it with the Stones...

We've been awaiting Samsung's metallic Series 7 Chronos laptops eagerly since we first previewed them. They're beautifully designed, relatively slim slabs of aluminium with matt, higher-than-usual resolution screens surrounded by the thinnest of bezels. The frosted glass touchpads and backlit keyboards are classy additions too.
The Samsung Series 7 laptops are also stuffed to the brim with connectivity and performance, with innovations like the SSD/HDD hybrid storage of particular interest. The only thing they're lacking is any obvious link to their mythological namesake, as they don't seem to hold any particular affinities with time that we've discovered.
Are the Series 7's worthy rivals to the likes of the Dell XPS 15z and the 15in Apple MacBook Pro, though? In our review, we look at the 15.4in 700Z5A to find out.
Let's start off with its design. Unlike the black finish of the Samsung Series 9, the company's Series 7 range sports a subdued grey finish that shows off its aluminium finish's brushed pattern to better effect. It also makes unsightly fingerprints far less visible, less so than with Apple's MacBook Air. Aside from the raised Samsung logo the 700Z5A is smooth, with nicely rounded edges on the lid. However, Apple-esque sharp edges rear their pointy heads when you open the laptop up.
The screen bezel is aluminium, where many metal-clad rivals use plastic here. It's also incredibly thin, a mere 7mm at the sides. That's even slimmer than the Dell XPS 14z, which squeezed a 14in screen into a "13in chassis". The 7's subtly integrated but sturdy hinge is also metal, as is the keyboard surround.
Oddly, the wrist rest is actually plastic, which Samsung claims to have used for the same reasons Dell choose magnesium rather than aluminium on its XPS z: it's softer and warmer, and keeps the weight down. However, despite looking like the metal it does put a small dent in the otherwise premium feel.
Build quality is very good - if not quite on a level with the XPS 15z or MacBook Pro, as there is just the slightest hint of give and creak when pressing down on some parts of the panels. However, it still feels like it'll weather some rough handling without injury. Unsurprisingly, the plastic palm rest feels like one of the least sturdy areas, but it's also one of the least likely to get damaged. Hinge action, meanwhile, is reassuringly solid.
While not the most extensive we've seen, connectivity nevertheless covers all the bases and is very innovative. For example, as the Series 7's slim profile doesn't allow for a full-size VGA port, Samsung has converted this unsightly port to something that resembles micro HDMI, and provided the adapter in the box. This is an elegant way to get around the issue, and we don't think anyone would complain about never seeing one of the old-school VGA connectors on a laptop again if they're offered this as an alternative.
The Gigabit Ethernet port has also seen modification due to slimness. As with the ports on the Series 9, you'll need to open a flap that partially covers it when not in use – an ingenious solution, though under rare circumstances it could prove a potential snagging, or even breakage, point.
This aside we have a regular HDMI port, twin USB 3.0 ports and a combined headphone/microphone jack on the left, an SDXC card reader at the front and the slot-loading DVD rewriter and USB 2.0 port on the laptop's right side. Wireless bases are covered with Wi-Fi N and Bluetooth 3.0. Overall then there's everything you would need in a high-end portable PC, though if we're being picky we would have liked eSATA and separate audio in- and outputs too.
Great review. I was seriously contemplating getting this after reading up on it and this review certainly backs up it's hype.
Where did you see it at £946.80? I can't seem to find anyone in the UK having it in stock.
Good stuff, seems like good value for the cost.
Just shame Samsung didn't include dual band Wifi (5Ghz) on it, my 2.4Ghz band is way too crowded with gadgets (and neighbours) for serious laptop use.
Btw take care when you order and check if its a grey import, read some comments that the German version is plastic, not aluminium.
ps : slight bug in the review, when you say "with a lower screen resolution, no glossy screen finish and no number pad" think you mean "no matte screen finish".
ANyone know if I would be right in thinking that there is a 13/14 in version coming in the near future? I've had a play with this and it looks great, but is a little bit too big...
Red FX I think you can get it from Dabs right now...
@Red FX:
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
As to the price, I believe it was at Dabs as @Craves mentions. PCWorld also sell it but don't have stock, though they do sell the cheaper model.
Thanks for pointing that out - fixed as soon as cache refreshes.
You are indeed right, there should be a smaller model further down the road. At the moment it's only been confirmed for the US though...
It appears Trusted Reviews are running two reports on essentially the same item.
http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-series-7-700z-700z3a_Laptop_comments - also refers and contains comment.
I have just posted there that the Dixon Group (Dixons Currys and PC World) appear to be advertising all three models at an alleged £200 discount. Unfortunately their previous, alleged, pricing period seems to predate the model's release date. I await their reply to my enquiry which I will post in both these reviews.
Thanks for your comment. This was an oversight by us. Normally we run a hands-on, or first look review and then update it and republish with a full review when we have taken the time to fully review the product. In this case that didn't happen and can see how this might be confusing. On the plus side, just this time, you can see our first impressions AND the full review. :/
Cliff, I prefer to have separate previews and reviews articles.
p.s. Why can't we post Reply to replies ?
The introduction of these products has been weird to say the least. The Samsung website did say that the i-7 was in stock at PCWorld and Currys but clicking to go to the store brought up the i-5. The Currys assistant said they had only ever had the i-5. The Samsung website now says that Dabs have the i-7 but Dabs say it is 'ordered upon request'. Ringing Samsung, I was told that a release date was unknown, as were specs. for the various models, even after they (the telephone contact at Samsung) had personally interrogated their sales and marketing staff on the subject!
I agree with your findings re. full price dates at Currys/PC World. What a mess! It is like a deliberately frustrating game to turn you off the brand!
Matt screen? At last!
I don't know about others, but glossy screens are a genuine deal-breaker for me. I simply cannot use them, and matt screens really need to be more commonplace. I won't be buying this laptop for I have no need, but I'm glad to see some matt out there.
Having recently bought a MBP, I need to find ways to justify the massive price which I paid!
Does anyone know what the realistic lifespan of this kind of laptop is?
If my experience of desktop computers is anything to go by, the Mac will last a lot longer than the cheaper PC based equivalent, mainly due to Windows XP slowing down over time. However, is that an issue which has been solved with Windows 7 and later versions?
This sounds like the laptop I have been looking for. I am after a laptop rather than a desktop that is powerfull enough to cope with video editing 1080P/50p footage. Can anyone tell me if this is likely to be able to cope with this task? Would I have to get the more extensive i7 version?
Many Thanks
It's a good thing that the two reports are separate because then you know whether the comments are for the first report or the second. It's confusing to have the report change but not know which report the comments are for.
But then again, this is the next-gen TR so deaf ears will be found :(
I've had three rigs running WP7 at home now since the os was first released and none of them (two on conventional hard drives and one on an SSD, the two former get defragged once a week and the latter gets regularly "trimmed" with Intel's "tool box") show any sign of slowing down. First time I have never had to do biannual clean installs since and including Win95. Oh, and I have never had a BSOD on any of them either.
I am also looking to get this laptop for video editing. The i7 version should make editing HD content very smooth. What editing suite are you looking to use?
Cheers for letting me know where it's available. There is a 14" version that packs in a 15" screen with the same i7 spec. I am not sure if it's coming to the UK soon though. The 15.6" isn't that big as it's pretty slim. The only annoying this is the off-centre trackpad!
Looks great but cant find anyone with stock - any one else find a supplier?
I have received a reply from KNOWHOW in the Dixon Group concerning my enquiry as to their pricing policy. (See above).
It reads "I have checked our systems and find that the laptop was entered into our price list first on 17/9/2011.
I believe that it would have been available for order from that point, even though we did not have stock of the item".
So the answer is, the Dixon Group could not have sold any during the period they allege the higher price existed.
That in my view, is illegal and I have forwarded a complaint to the BBC Watchdog series. Anyone actually induced by the advert perhaps ought to seek recompense.
Jlewis.co.uk have the i5 model in stock in their Nottm branch at £899 with a three year warranty. And very nice it is too.
The i7 spec'd item is available via their website (only) at £999. Pricing appears solid and, above all, genuine.
i bought it from PCWorld almost 4 weeks ago and the model is i5 7005ZA. My review: a FAB laptop. Beautiful, fantastic build quality, no noise at all, am on Samsung Eco mode and it gives me like 8+ hrs battery life no problem (altho there is a bug in the indicator - will give funny readings when you hover your mouse over the batt icon in system tray - like 200 hrs remaining!! on subsequent hovers, you get the real batt life). The one main disappointment I've had is that there is no keyboard backlights. According to the manuals the A models have no backlight while the B models do but I was led to believe that this series had backlighting, without exception... anyway other than that, the mousepad has been tricky, required a lot of finetuning before I'm now happy with the way it performs. The screen is amazig, it resumes from sleep in under 3 secs.
The review shows a backlit keyboard - but Samsung's own website does not say (or picture) that the keyboard is backlit. None of the retailer sites show a backlit keyboard. Did Samsung send a special 'prototype' version for review?!
I downloaded loaded the manual from Samsung's site and it says the opposite to a previous comment - the A models have backlighting, and the B models don't. It's on the page that explain the function buttons for varing the level of is an A model, so has backlighting. The B models seem to be the US ones. But I just have this feeling that if it did have backlighting Samsung would have featured it more prominently on their website!
Thanks for all the comments :)
Regarding the backlighting, I was given to understand that the A models had it, as per my review. @StuartH: the version we reviewed was not a prototype but supposedly the shipping model. I will try to find out further details.
As to stock, availability does seem oddly patchy but, just in case JL were to run out, it can still be found elsewhere, for example: http://www.stuff-uk.net/p-1...
@Glyn Martin: either one should do relatively well, but the i7 will be faster at it and is probably the better choice if you can easily afford the difference.
can anyone advise me
I am a Landscape architecture student and will be heavily using this laptop for 3D works such as Auto CAD and Sketchup and Archicad, I am debating between this (highest spec) and a 15" Macbook pro quad core 1gb now the samsung inc 3 b2b warranty and windows 8 will is around£1000 where as the equivelent mac with 3 year apple care @ cheapest I can find will be around £1500
any advice ? thanks
i advice u t buy this device... it's really amazing...

Planned Parenthood Action Fund Ad Does Not Violate Tax Laws As Fox Suggested
Research ››› ››› ANDY NEWBOLD
Fox News attacked Planned Parenthood for violating tax laws by putting out an ad that criticized Mitt Romney. In fact, the ad was put out by Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which is organized under Section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, the same section Karl Rove's American Crossroads GPS uses to attack President Obama.
Fox News Falsely Accused Planned Parenthood Of Violating Tax Laws With Ad
Fox's Dobbs Attacked Planned Parenthood Action Fund Ad By Suggesting It Did Something Illegal By Putting Out Ad. During the May 30 edition of Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight, host Lou Dobbs said he didn't know where Planned Parenthood "get[s] the right" to produce the ad. Catholic League president Bill Donohue suggested that if the National Right to Life organization attempted the same thing they would be told to "shut up or you're going to get your tax exempt status pulled." From the show:
DOBBS: Planned Parenthood, your reaction to -- this is, after all, a nonprofit. It is stepping directly into a presidential political race.
DOBBS: I don't understand where they get the right, Bill, to be involved in a political campaign as an active participant supporting one candidate. That seems crazy.
DONOHUE: Well isn't it amazing when the Catholic Church opens up we're told to "shut up" unless it's some issue that liberals seem to want us to talk about -- Planned Parenthood, your right, can do about it.
DONOHUE: If this were the National Right to Life people they would be told to "get in your place and shut up or you're going to get your tax exempt status pulled." Planned Parenthood does it and they say "well, you know, they're on the right side." That's all that matters. [Fox News, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 5/30/12]
Dobbs Later Said Planned Parenthood Action Fund Ad "Goes To The Issue Of" 501(c)(3) Organizations "Insinuating Themselves Into Our Social Life." From the May 30 edition of Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight:
DOBBS: This is interesting, because it goes to the issue of 501(3)(c)s [sic] [unintelligible] -- non-profits. They are insinuating themselves into our social life, they're pervasive, 3 million of them in the country. They're really carrying out a function of the government. If we want this to be carried out as a matter of policy, it is one that should be affected by our elected representatives, it should be a matter of government should it not?
JUDITH MILLER (Fox News contributor): It should be.
DOBBS: It shouldn't be supplanted by a political unit that is what it is now, Planned Parenthood. [Fox News, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 5/30/12]
Fox's Bolling Claimed Planned Parenthood Is "Willing To Spend Our Money ... Attacking Mitt Romney On His Stance On Abortion." During the May 30 edition of Fox News' The Five, co-host Eric Bolling suggested that Planned Parenthood is using government funds to create its ad. Co-host Bob Beckel quickly corrected Bolling, explaining that the ad was created by "the political action arm" of Planned Parenthood "and they can do that as well as Karl Rove's committee can do it or anybody else's committee":
BOLLING: I don't know how in the world you can say taxpayer money didn't go to abortions when a big part of what Planned Parenthood does is abortions, and --
BECKEL: No, three percent, Eric, three percent
BOLLING: Bob, three percent based on what? The amount of time it takes to abort a child? Based on what?
BECKEL: Three percent of the money that Planned Parenthood has --
BOLLING: Here are the numbers. Here are the facts: Planned Parenthood gets somewhere near $500 million of taxpayer support.
BECKEL: Right
BOLLING: They offer -- now we find out they're willing to maybe even break the law in some states -- there are four states that say it's illegal to offer abortions based on gender, there's 46 that say "no" -- now maybe they're breaking the law. And now they are willing to spend our money, $1.4 million of our money attacking Mitt Romney on his stance on abortion. I mean, none of this is floating in my book.
BECKEL: First of all, I'm going to try to attack you with a smile today and tell you that that is the political action arm of that committee and they can do that as well as Karl Rove's committee can do it or anybody else's committee. [Fox News, The Five, 5/30/12]
However, Planned Parenthood Action Fund Created The Ad ...
Planned Parenthood Action Fund Ad Says It Was "Paid For By Planned Parenthood Action Fund." The Planned Parenthood Action Fund ad on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Facebook page states: "Planned Parenthood Action Fund is responsible for the content of this advertising." Screenshot from the website:
[Planned Parenthood Action Fund via Facebook, accessed 5/30/12]
Planned Parenthood Action Fund Is Organized Under Section 501(c)(4) Of The Federal Tax Code. According to a summary of Planned Parenthood's financial activities, the IRS classifies Planned Parenthood Action Fund as a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit organization:
Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., is a tax-exempt corporation under Internal Revenue Service code section 501(c)(3) and is not a private foundation (Tax ID #13-1644147). Contributions are tax-deductible.
The IRS classifies the Planned Parenthood Action Fund as a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit organization. Contributions are not tax-deductible. [Planned Parenthood, 2007-2008 reports, accessed 5/31/12]
... And It Is Legal For Planned Parenthood Action Fund To Engage In Politics
According To The IRS, Organizations Filed Under Section 501(c)(4) Of Tax Code "May Intervene In Political Campaigns." According to part 7 of the IRS's Internal Revenue Manual, Rulings and Agreements, filed under chapter 25, section 4.7 titled "Intervention in Political Campaigns":
The promotion of social welfare does not include participation in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any political candidate. Reg. 1.501(c)(4)-1(a)(2)(ii). An exempt IRC 501(c)(4) organization may intervene in political campaigns as long as its primary activity is the promotion of social welfare. IRC 501(c)(4) organizations are subject to the tax imposed by IRC 527 on any expenditure for a political activity that comes within the meaning of IRC 527(e)(2). See Rev. Rul. 81-95, 1981-1 C.B. 332. [Internal Revenue Service, 2/8/1999]
Indeed, Karl Rove's American Crossroads GPS Attacks Obama Under The Same Tax Status
Politico Reported That Rove's Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies Registered Under Section 501(c)(4) Of U.S. Tax Code. From a October, 2010 article by Politico:
[L]ess than one month after the panel, with American Crossroads entering its fourth month of existence struggling to raise money from donors leery of having their names disclosed, the Crossroads operatives spun off a sister group called Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (or Crossroads GPS, for short), which they registered under a different section of the tax code - section 501(c)4 - that does not require donor disclosure. [Politico, 10/25/10]
Crossroads GPS' Latest Ad Is An Attack On Obama's Record. [Crossroads GPS, 5/22/12]

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) background investigations are released to designated employees of agencies in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government for use in granting security clearances or making determinations regarding qualifications, suitability, or loyalty to the United States. Non-National Foreign Intelligence Board (non-NFIB) agencies adjudicate OPM background investigations and grant Top Secret clearances prior to requesting eligibility for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA has requested that OPM's Investigations Service (IS) permit the release of OPM background investigations to the CIA by non-NFIB agencies with their SCI access requests.
Non-NFIB agencies are now permitted to release OPM background investigations directly to the CIA for SCI adjudication without written consent from OPM-IS. However, non-NFIB agencies must document each such release in the affected individual's security file by recording the date and purpose of the disclosure, and the name, agency and address of the person to whom the file was released. The CIA may not re-release the OPM background investigation for any purpose. When the CIA has completed its adjudication, it may retain or dispose of these investigations in a secure fashion.
Please contact OPM's Federal Investigations Processing Center, Freedom of Information / Privacy Act Services, at 724-794-5612 if you have any questions.

I wonder what would happen if I substituted "Walter Kelley" with "Bjorn Apiaries", and started to mention a discount here or there for my own business. ;)
I posted that Kelley had free shipping to help some folks out to save a little. I have never ordered from them. The vast majority of stuff I order come from Brushy or Rossman. I order a lot in December from Brushy because of free shipping. But if I needed something now, I would go with some free shipping. Always factor shipping when comparing prices. Just something I always tell folks.

Tricia Liston added 15 for the Blue Devils (20-1, 10-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who blew the game open with a 29-3 run over 10 minutes, led by 31 at halftime and was up by as many as 33 points in its fifth straight win in the rivalry.
UNC's Sylvia Hatchell was going for her 900th victory to become only the third coach in women's basketball to reach that milestone, along with Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt. But the Tar Heels (20-3, 8-2) had no early answers against the Blue Devils. Duke shot 56 percent, hit 7 of 9 3-point attempts and kept adding to the lead by cashing in on turnovers or the offensive glass during the dominant first half.
The Tar Heels, meanwhile, shot just 22 percent and had twice as many turnovers (14) as field goals (7) in the half.
North Carolina finally showed some fight after halftime but still never seriously threatened a comeback. The Tar Heels pulled to within 60-42 with 12 1/2 minutes left on Brittany Rountree's layup off a turnover, but Liston answered with a 3-pointer and a spinning basket in the lane to shut down UNC's best push.
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt scored 18 points to lead the Tar Heels, but she had 11 of the team's 24 turnovers. North Carolina shot 33 percent for the game in its first home loss. Waltiea Rolle added 17 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Hatchell's next chance at her 900th win will come Thursday at Boston College.

Vice President Joe Biden's daughter Ashley married Dr. Howard Krein over the weekend in Delaware. She wore a custom ivory silk mermaid gown by Vera Wang, accented with draped tulle and an organza petal skirt. The illusion v-neckline and fitted silhouette are right on trend, but the look still feels traditional and feminine.

Maybe it was the recent Atari 2600 milestone anniversary that fueled nostalgia for the golden days of computer and console gaming. Every Game Boy must ponder his roots from time to time. But whatever is driving the current retro gaming craze, one thing is certain: classic games are back for a big second act, and they're being played in both old and new ways.
Whether you've just been attacked by Space Invaders for the first time or you've been a Pong junkie since puberty, Chris Kohler's Retro Gaming Hacks is the indispensable new guide to playing and hacking classic games. Kohler has complied tons of how-to information on retro gaming that used to take days or weeks of web surfing to track down and sort through, and he presents it in the popular and highly readable Hacks style.
Retro Gaming Hacks serves up 85 hard-nosed hacks for reviving the classic games. Want to game on an original system? Kohler shows you how to hack ancient hardware, and includes a primer for home-brewing classic software. Rather adapt today's equipment to run retro games? Kohler provides emulation techniques, complete with instructions for hacking a classic joystick that's compatible with a contemporary computer. This book also teaches readers to revive old machines for the original gaming experience: hook up an Apple II or a Commodore 64, for example, and play it like you played before.
A video game journalist and author of Power Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life, Kohler has taught the history of video games at Tufts University. In Retro Gaming Hacks, he locates the convergence of classic games and contemporary software, revealing not only how to retrofit classic games for today's systems, but how to find the golden oldies hidden in contemporary programs as well.
Whether you're looking to recreate the magic of a Robotron marathon or simply crave a little handheld Donkey Kong, Retro Gaming Hacks shows you how to set the way-back dial.
Chris Kohler is a video game journalist and editor who has written for several publications in the past decade, including Wired, Animerica magazine, and Nintendo Official Magazine UK. After graduating from Tufts University with a degree in Japanese, Chris attended Kyoto Seika University on a Fulbright Fellowship, and completed major research for a book tentatively titled Super Mario Nation: The Cinematic Japanese Video Game. At Tufts, he taught a for-credit undergraduate course titled "A History of Video Games" and continues to study Japanese at an advanced level.

These joysticks, which were released with the original Atari console in 1977, have become icons of console gaming. While the ergonmics of the joysticks may be questionable, their simple utilitarian design-one button to shoot and one stick to move-offers a sturdy control device for gamers everywhere.Philip Dangler was the production editor and proofreader for Retro Gaming Hacks.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
hey I picked up my set last year was trying 2 budget at 500 and just went up a bit more to 700.
but I spend a lto of time looking at deals online, and there is plenty u can find for cheap. Just have 2 be quick on it, and as already stated make sure u get close up pics cause it can save u an hour of driving.
|I live in North Jersey. Thanks alot
with your budget i would shop around for your board and bindings on craigs or ebay or local swaps. Just make sure they provide close-up photos so that you can see the condition of the base and the edges and make sure there isn't damage beyond shallow surface scratches to the base or minor cosmetic chips/cracks on the topsheet. you don't necessarily need to spend a lot on boots but you should be prepared to spend the most on them. You definitely need to go to your local shops and try them on and see which brands and models fit you the best and what flex you like. If you figure out which boots fit you really well and can find an online shop selling the previous year's model then that wouldn't be too bad (make sure there aren't drastic changes between the year you try on and the one you buy) but if you can't you'll have to buy the 2010 model and that won't be cheap.
where are you located by the way
|First off wanna say i appreciate the help. Im 5'7 about 162lbs size 9 foot. I would have to say im pretty much a begginer, about 4yrs back when I was at my best I could pull 180's regularly and would rarely fall throughout the day but not much more than that.. At the same time, I havent been boarding in 4 yrs or so. Ill hit a couple small jumps, maybe hit the park on a few runs, but mostly just do a little of everything (def nothing special). Do u have any suggestions on some good boots for that price range? Why do u think boots are more important than a board for me? Any particular brands of boards that u would recommend to me that are fairly inexpensive but good quality? What should I look for on a used board to decide if its in good shape to buy? Sorry for all the questions haha, Im reading this back and I sound like an annoying ass person ha! thanks tho
Weight, Height, Boot size ...
And what type of riding do you do or want to do? Park jibbing and rails? Small jumps? Big jumps? Huge steeps with Tree's? Or just a bit of everything?
Im not gonna lie, 300 is a tight budget though considering any decent boot is gonna cost you atleast 125 bucks minimum new.
If 300 is your limit i'd spend 150-200 on a GOOD pair of boots, and then find a decent board/binding combo on craigslist/ebay that is your size and decent condition and go at it...
Snowboards are like cars and lose a lot of value fairly quickly, you should be able to get a fairly decent 2-3 year old board and bindings for 100-150 bucks i'd guess? Just a guess though its been awhile since ive looked.
If you have a store like play it again sports or those types in your area that sell used boards maybe look there as well...
New to the site.. need some help finding a board!!
Hi all.. as i said im brand new to the site. I took about a 4 yr hiatus from snowboarding and now finally have some time this winter to get back into it. I just bought myself a season pass in the hopes it would force me to get back out there. Now I need a board! Im not looking to break the bank on this either, cause times are tough. To be honest I dont wanna spend more than $300 for boots/board/bindings. Is that way too small of a budget? I am def nothing special, I havent gone in 4 yrs! Can anyone give me some suggestions on a cheap yet quality board? I know burton is always top notch, but am i gonna spend too much on one? Obviously i would rather get a brand new board but if used is the way to go to fit my budget, then maybe I will do that. Please guys, i need some help here.. do u have any suggestions?????

BSD3c(or similar) ; GPLv2+
* Tue Sep 07 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 0.7.3 * fixed fallback from failed PMKSA caching into full EAP authentication [Bug 355] * fixed issue with early D-Bus signals during initialization * fixed X.509 name handling in internal TLS * fixed WPS ER to use corrent Enrollee MAC Address in Credential * fixed scanning routines ot improve AP selection for WPS * added WPS workaround for open networks * fixed WPS Diffie-Hellman derivation to use correct public key length * fixed wpa_supplicant AP mode operations to ignore Supplicant and scan result events * improved SME operations with nl80211 * fixed WPS ER event_id handling in some cases * fixed some issues with bgscan simple to avoid unnecessary scans * fixed issue with l2_packet_ndis overlapped writes corrupting stack [Bug 328] * updated WinPcap to the latest stable version 4.1.2 in Windows installer update to 0.7.2 * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal strength are present in scan results * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of automatic detection of EAP parameters * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level configuration options * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as tray messages * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions) * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event messages to reduce latency in showing these (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this) * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count) * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids) * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not backwards compatible with old versions * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air and over-the-DS) * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network configuration block to request background scans less frequently when signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably (this is currently only available with nl80211) * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with linguist and add German translation * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS) * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no enabled networks * Fri May 28 2010 email@example.com - Fix fallback from failed PMKSA caching into full EAP authentication (bnc 601501) * Sun Jan 31 2010 email@example.com - Update to 0.7.1 (full changelog in wpa_supplicant/ChangeLog): * Cleanup of interfaces * dbus: added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1) * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux nl80211/mac80211 functionality - Remove wpa_supplicant-dbus-iface-segfault-fix.patch, does not apply at all. - Remove wpa_supplicant-dbus-reset-eapol.patch (merged upstream). - Disable patches that do not apply anymore but are not merged. * Mon Sep 28 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - simplify dbus config, allow introspection * Mon Sep 07 2009 email@example.com - Added rotation of log file with logrotate (bnc#508041) * Tue May 12 2009 email@example.com - reenable logfile writing support to make d-bus activation work again (bnc#502957) * Tue Apr 07 2009 email@example.com - Enable ralink driver (bnc#481380) - Enable nl80211 driver (bnc#485453) - Rebase all SUSE patches to 0.6.9 - Remove upstreamed patches - Update to 0.6.9 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303] * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>) * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes) * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf) * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key; enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration) * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against TKIP deficiencies * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits, not bytes * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is needed with that version anymore) * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed) * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch' * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know about * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2 (IEEE 802.11w) * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to use correct FTIE * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication method with wpa_gui-qt4 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8 encapsulated RSA key can now be used) * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y) * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261] * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching) * Sun Mar 01 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix compilation with gcc 4.4 * Mon Feb 09 2009 email@example.com - Add wpa_supplicant-respect_no_reply.patch which avoids D-Bus errors if no reply was requested by the caller * Wed Jan 28 2009 email@example.com - Avoid unnecessary roaming if the driver (like ipw2100) does not report signal level. This fixes association problems with ipw2100 (bnc#469779).
