Village families in the rural areas of Ouelessebougou face many health risks and diseases every day. Health education and disease prevention are key to enhancing the quality and longevity of life. Villagers do not have access to clean water or electricity. Many children die from simple causes such as diarrhea, measles and pneumonia and do not live past their fifth birthday. The Alliance provides vaccinations for more than 28,000 villagers in 30 rural villages.
Disease prevention training is provided for health workers, who then provide training for village families. Vaccinations are administered for women and children. The Alliance provides more than 5,000 vaccinations for villagers in 30 villages in and around the Ouelessebougou area. More than 60,000 vaccinations have been provided by the Alliance since 2003.
Vaccinations decrease the likelihood of contracting diseases and in an area where diseases are prevelent, such as Ouelessebougou, vaccinations truly save lives for hundreds of village women and children every year. Villagers are urged to attend health trainings to openly discuss and find solutions to the health concerns in their villages.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has not renewed its deal with Tyler Perry, who has been associated with the studio since the release of 2005's Diary of a Mad Black Woman,
which Perry wrote, produced and starred in as his popular Madea
character. The first-look agreement with Tyler and his 34th Street Films
was last renewed in March, 2011 but concluded at the end of 2013.
The writer-producer-director is closing
the Los Angeles offices of his 34th Street Films, consolidating
operations at his Atlanta headquarters. Additionally, the prolific writer, director, producer and actor is
closing the Los Angeles office of 34th Street and consolidating its
operations at his Atlanta, Georgia, headquarters. Some loss of jobs is
expected, although Matt Moore, executive vp of 34th Street is staying on, according to sources. Despite the loss of the first-look deal, which was first signed in
2008, and his new "free agent" status, Perry isn't cutting ties
with Lionsgate just yet. The company is releasing The Single Moms Club,
written and directed by Perry, on March 14. There also may be a few
more Madea movies that are already in the development pipeline. Sources say the parting was a mutual affair after common ground
failed to be found. Both Lionsgate and Perry have evolved considerably
since first signing that deal. 34th Street was created in 2008 with the goal of creating projects
written and directed by filmmakers other than the very busy Perry, but
it has also handled a few of Perry's own films. The first movie from the
label was For Colored Girls, the adaptation of the Ntozake Shange
play, which Perry wrote and directed. However, most of Perry's films
have been produced through his Atlanta-based Tyler Perry Company. The label also produced 2013's Peeples, which was written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism, starring Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington, and the upcoming Single Moms. Perry's last release through Lionsgate, Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas was
released in December and grossed $52.5 million domestically, which is a
fairly typically box office take for one of the filmmaker's features.

BRIEF-Amazon announces new grocery service AmazonFresh Pickup
* Amazon announces AmazonFresh Pickup, a new grocery service Further company coverage:
By Alexei Oreskovic
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 Facebook Inc will unveil a new look for its popular "newsfeed" next week, the latest move by the Web company to revamp key elements of its 1 billion member social network.
Facebook will showcase the newsfeed makeover at a media event on March 7 at its Menlo Park, California headquarters, the company said in an emailed invitation to reporters on Friday.
The event will be Facebook's second high-profile product event this year, following the rollout of its social search feature in January.
Facebook's newsfeed, which displays an ever-changing stream of the photos, videos and comments uploaded from a user's network of friends, is one of the three "pillars" of the service, along with search and user profiles, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said.
The last major update to Facebook's newsfeed was in September 2011. Since then, the company has incorporated ads directly into the feed and the company has shifted its focus to creating "mobile first experiences," as more people now access the social network every day on mobile devices than on desktop PCs.
The mobile version of Facebook still lacks many of the features available on the PC version, said Brian Blau, an analyst with industry research firm Gartner. "So maybe this is a way to bring some of that together," he said.
Shares of Facebook, the world's No.1 social network, were up nearly 2 percent, or 52 cents, at $27.77 in midday trading on Friday.

I would expect Batman cases to sell out before DC New 52 When it comes to superhero popularity Batman may be #1. I base this on the number of movies, cartoons, tv shows, etc... Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers... they are all very popular but I think Batman wins the gold metal and I think that will show up in sales for these cards.
For me, there is just too much going on right now in non-sports cards. I may pick up some Batman if they are still around in February, but I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't. The sketches look AWESOME and I expect them to get better with each Cryptozoic sketch. I get the impression that the artists prefer working with them over some of the competition. But maybe that will fade with time.... |

I've got a case on the way when they release. I know that previews are going to be the best examples of the artwork, but this one feels pretty good overall.
I am still busting DC New 52 cases as I find them cheap. I am going after one card from every artist. Dang Acar will be the death of me. I have many of the rarer artists already pulled. |

Hundreds of Birds Rescued, Rehabbed at Auto Repair Shop Turned Sanctuary
Mixed in with the noises you expect at a mechanics, there's also the distinct chirp of birds at one Key City auto repair shop.
"Blue jays, mockingbirds, pigeons, everything.".
Gail Pittman has been rescuing and rehabbing birds for years -- and she does it all out of her and her husband's auto repair shop off Poplar St. in Abilene.
"My dog found a baby sparrow that had fallen out of a nest and I raised him," she explained. "He was my buddy, I always kept him in my pocket."
That was five years ago.
Now, the inside of Pittman's garage is lined with cages as she nurses each and every bird that is brought to her back to health.
"This one can't fly, he's blind in both eyes, and he has seizures, like he's having right now," she said of one bird who will likely never be healed enough to be released.
But over the years, Pittman has released approximately 300 birds, working closely with a local bird veterinarian and saving hundreds of lives.
They are brought in from just about everywhere and just about everyone, to get a second chance at life and flight.
"People just started bringing us birds that fell out of nests or broke a wing and it just snowballed," said Robert Pittman, Gail's husband.
And while most of them are set free when they are well enough, some just cannot seem to take the hint.
"Every time we take the pigeons and let them go, they come right back, just walk inside the door and hop into their cage," Robert Pittman said.
It runs the couple about $200 to $300 a month to care for all of the birds, but they say it's an expense they don't mind at all.
So at Pittman's Garage, it goes from rehabbing cars to rehabbing birds -- all in a days work.

Just as the title suggests, I am offering to teach anyone C++ as well as how to implement what you learn to create a 2D game using SFML 2.0. Later more advanced classes will then consist of learning DirectX9 after enough time has been put in with C++/SFML 2.0. After you have read the rest of this post and decide you are interested in taking my classes, you can email me at:
[email protected]
Hourly Rate: $15/hour
I will be conducting classes over Skype or GoogleTalk and TeamViewer will also be used to allow access for me and the student to view and interact with the programs we are working on. PayPal will be used to make payments to me. Additionally, half the payment amount should be sent to me before class begins and then the other half after it ends. If you are interested in taking my classes here is a list of all the things you should try and download before hand:
- Visual Studio 2010/2012 Express Edition
- Skype
- GoogleTalk
- TeamViewer
Students can expect to learn the following:
- Basic C++ syntax/theory
- Functions/Function Overloading
- Console Input/Output
- Reading from/to a file
- Classes/Structures/Enumerations
- Conditional Statements/Loops
- Pointers
- Inheritance/Polymorphism
- Containers (LIsts, vectors, arrays)
- Game Logic
- Event Handling
- Basic Physics
- DirectX9
- Win32 Programming
- More will be added/taught
As you can see there is are numerous things that I am willing to teach and for a very low price. The lessons will consist of many small exercise programs and "Homework" program that is related to game programming, to allow the student to make a connection with what they are learning and how they can incorporate that into a game. My teaching style involves making the student build the same program over and over from scratch until they can do it perfectly "with their eyes closed". Then when I feel they are proficient with that they can move on to the next program and the cycle begins again. Additionally I might ask the students to make the program differently or program it using a different method on the fly. This encourages problem solving and helps them grow as a programmer to see solutions to problems in different ways.

I've had the DBA02 and currently own the CKM500.
I suspect you'll find the DBA02 too bass light for your taste, to varying degrees, which would probably mean (going from what others have said on these forums) that the GR01 - which has a very similar sound to the DBA02 - would be bass light as well.
The CKM500 might be worth a punt: 1) they're less than $80 shipped 2) you'll have something to use as a basis for comparison, instead of having to imagine everything in the abstract 3) you can probably sell them on pretty easily if you really hate them.
Anyway, I think in the end most of us end up buying our IEMs without the conclusive finality of being able to say, yes, this was definitely the one for me! It's impossible to make these decisions without some leap of faith, as it were. The best we can do is eliminate those we think we know we won't like... and then pick one and hope for the best.
Hello Xerox, thx for contributing. As an owner of both the DBA and CKM500 sets, can you give a brief comparison between the highs on these. I hear the DBA sounds terrific up high but like you have affirmed.. is a bit shy on the bass end which I wouldn't like. How would you compare the highs on the CKM.. are they good, clear, crisp, extended? Ever since I read Dsnuts appreciation thread on these, they've been high on my list (he's quite the salesman heh).
Also I totally agree with your last paragraph, however I just want to add that I'm trying to make the most informed and educated "leap of faith" that I possibly can. :)
Well I have TF10, DBA02 (Brainwavz B2) and Sennheiser IE60. And my source is also Cowon Z2.
I'd say if you can get the perfect fit, you should go with the TF10, they have everything you want - crisp high, good bass, sweet mids and very good soundstage. Also I don't feel that the TF10 is that V-shaped, just the mids are not forwarded as others.
The DBA02s provide very good details, very clear and crispy with little bass. Way too crispy sometimes, so I would not recommend them for rock/metal fans.
Ok, have to ask quick off topic.. how do you like the Z2 for audio quality. Are you happy with it overall, any beefs? Mine is on back order and it's killing me!
Ok guys, so using a bit of everyone's knowledge here I am confidently able to cross off the DBA and the GR01 off the list as I do want some quality bass punch. I'm also thinking the EPH-100's aren't for me even though I hear they are great phones, I have read from multiple owners that the top end can have a strange flavor. So that narrows my list to the FXT-90's (the last 2 sentences of Eke2k6's above post has me concerned about the FXT's.. "the sub-bass extension and rumble of the GR07 trumps them by a mile." and "It's also quite aggressive in the treble, so if you like your music loud...beware" and I do like it loud!!, the ATH-CKM500 is also a contender (worried about the highs), GR07 (again the highs), and the RE-262 which I am very curious how the bass matches up with the FXT or the GR07 plus I'm apprehensive about committing to an IEM that really needs an amp. Although if it's the best option I might go for it. Djchase brought up the Triple Fi's and they may be a good recommend but I have to admit here that I haven't had much luck with anything Logitech (they are made by Logictech aren't they?) over the years, I've managed to break keyboards, mice, speakers, and a host of other peripherals from this company (and I won't even start on their software).. I am biased against them and the quality of their products. It may just be a personal thing but it would feel too much like dating an old girlfriend again that has only brought pain and strife into my life lol.. I just can't let it happen again.
Again you guys here are the best and I am taking in everything you guys are throwing at me. Thank you all.

This video shows the experiences of one character's journey, from the terrifying place he woke up in, to the world he conquered.
This video was more about testing my capabilities as an editor than anything else. I used a completely different editing method for the first time, and I pushed my quickness as an editor by completing this in five days. Originally, I had started editing this video to another song by the Deftones, "Digital Bath", but decided that I would have to change my original concept to something more mellow if I wanted to continue using that song. Instead I decided to check out the rest of the album, and found a song which was much more fitting to what I wanted to do. Those familiar with the song "Knife Party" will notice that it has been cut down from it's original version, and that I've made a few edits to the audio myself.
I have a lot of people to thank for helping me out with this project. First off, a big thanks to AtomX for teaching me the bait-and-switch method and for showing me many other tricks of the trade. A special thanks to Niotex for being a great beta tester and helping me out just a ton with a lot of different things (and for challenging me to finish this so quickly >:D). Also thanks to Aesling, Nessephanie, and Requiett for being awesome beta testers, and to Fall_Child42 for helping with the h264. And last but not least, thanks to the guys over at VNS (SenshiMamoru, Valion, Kristyrat, and Kisanzi!), because even if you're skiing in Canada or covered in the snowy depths of Colorado, I know you guys are there to help :)
Just something to end 2006 with. I think this is the video I've had the most enjoyable time editing, because really, I just went at it and had fun. For a more detailed account on the production of this AMV, take a look at my journal on this site.
Any comments, feedback, and/or opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and enjoy!

- Description
The Reaction Research Society is the oldest continuously operating
amateur experimental rocket group in the United States. Originally beginning under the name of the Southern California Rocket Society, the Society was founded on 6 January, 1943 by George James. Because of confusion in identity with the California Rocket Society, the name was changed on 17 March, 1943 to the Glendale Rocket Society. After a few years of operation under that name, the Reaction Research Society came into official existence when this new name was adopted on 31 March 1946, replacing that of the Glendale Rocket Society. The leading organizers at that time were Robert DeVoe, David Elliott, Carroll Evans, Jr., George James, John Cipperly, and Walter Lee Rosenthal. As of this writing, in the fall of 1996, five of these original members are still honorary members in the Society fifty three years after its founding. In the beginning years, Society members designed, built, and launched hundreds of solid and liquid propellant rockets. Beginning in June of 1947, many rocket mail flights were conducted by the group. This first flight carried U.S. mail across the Colorado River from Winterhaven, California to Yuma, Arizona. In 1949 and 1950 members launched the first liquid monopropellant rocket from a desert test site just south of the town of Mojave. Static testing of many different liquid propellant rocket systems followed and the zinc dust and sulfur rocket design known as the standard RRS Beta was developed and perfected. On 7 December 1954, the Reaction Research Society was incorporated in the state of California.Lee Rosenthal and David Elliott
In 1955, the Society acquired the property north east of the town of Mojave that it still uses today for flight and static rocket test activities. In the heyday of the U.S. space program during the late 1950's and on into the 1970's, the Society enjoyed a fairly large and diverse membership. Professional aerospace engineers, high school and college students, and others of all professions and educational backgrounds were joined by a common interest in the science that was taking man into space for the first time. Providing a unique opportunity to safely conduct live firing test of substantial rocket propulsion systems, the Society's activities were a great educational experience for many members, spectators, and family members. Dwindling somewhat in the number of members in the late 1970's and into the mid 1980's, the Society, nonetheless, maintained a core of amateur rocketry expertise. Members continued to build and fly rockets at the Mojave Test Area, have regular meetings, and publish reports and news letters. However, starting in 1989, the Society began a great resurgence of activity and membership growth. Many new members were interested in liquid rocket propulsion, hybrid propulsion, and new composite solid propellants. Membership grew from twenty or so local members to nearly two hundred members by 1996.
In the many years since it was formed, RRS members have static tested and launched several thousand amateur built rockets using solid, hybrid, and liquid propellants. These vehicles ranged in size from one to twenty feet in length and have produced thrusts up to 10,000 pounds. Many present and former members who gained their first experiences with rockets in the Society are now employed in various capacities within the aerospace and rocket industries. The Reaction Research Society remains dedicated to the goals and principles set down in its original charter.The Society today continues, as a non-profit amateur organization, to promote experimental rocketry as an educational tool and to further general interest in reaction propulsion and its applications. In addition, the Society maintains facilities and provides the technical experience necessary for safe educational opportunities in rocket design and test activities. Members from around the United States are building rocket systems to test with the Society at the Mojave Test Area. Members in foreign countries regularly communicate with local members and some, as far away as Great Brittain, are building vehicles to test here in the United States. The Society has also formed two chapters, one in northern California and a second in Pennsylvania. Members in those areas meet and conduct amateur rocketry activities locally while maintaining close ties with the Southern California parent organization. With the ongoing improvements to the Society's test facilities and the ever increasing sophistication of the projects being undertaken, the Reaction Research Society has grown into the largest and most vibrant of the amateur experimental rocket groups in the world today.

Thomas Dixon
October/november 1980 | Volume 31, Issue 6
In a chapter dignified by the title "Racial Philosophy in Dixon's Novels," his biographer, Raymond A. Cook, points out that the man felt perfectly cordial to other minority groups—he liked Jews, Catholics, and, inexplicably, was particularly fond of Turks. To him, the spectral foe of his youth, the imaginary night riders that the small boy had awaited behind his shotgun, was the only true enemy. And the only true heroes were the saviors of his boyhood: although his books helped bring about the rebirth of the KKK in the 1920's, Dixon denounced this "renegade" Klan as a band of ruffians and opportunists, unworthy of the lofty traditions of the original.
During the decade he devoted his efforts to making cautionary movies in his own studio—he was convinced he could outdo Griffith—and, when that fell through, to buying Florida land and building an artists' colony in the North Carolina mountains. He lost heavily; in a few years he was broke. In 1939 a cerebral hemorrhage left Dixon a semi-invalid, but his hot, intemperate mind continued to function. He stuck to his writing, and was still on the barricades a few months after his stroke, when he finished the last of his twenty books, The Flaming Sword . In it, black Communists take over America and found the Soviet Republic of the United States. Dixon must have been bitter by this time; it is the only one of his race-struggle books that does not end with the re-establishment of white hegemony. He had high hopes for the novel, but his vogue had passed. One Southern critic saw the book as a relic, deserving "news treatment rather than literary criticism." It didn't sell.
Dixon died in 1946. Sixty years earlier he had written a poem to his fiancée which included the lines, "A hell of restlessness, I have drained, drained."

In "R.I.P.D.," Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges portray deceased lawmen who keep the peace from beyond the grave -- the odd-couple partners protect the living from malevolent spirits who refuse to go quietly into the afterlife.
But shortly before the $130-million sci-fi action-comedy reaches theaters Friday, "R.I.P.D.'s" vital signs are showing about as much of a pulse as the lifeless "Deados" that Bridges and Reynolds battle.
Entering a crowded multiplex this weekend -- where the film will face off against the ensemble action caper "Red 2," the animated kid flick "Turbo" and the modestly budgeted horror movie "The Conjuring" -- audience tracking surveys show that "R.I.P.D." could gross as little as $17 million in its opening weekend, likely the worst among the four new films in release.

That outcome would represent a spectacular failure to launch, even in a summer season full of big-budget misfires such as "The Lone Ranger," "White House Down," "Pacific Rim" and "After Earth," all of which grossed more than $20 million in their opening weekends.
The consumer polling firm Piedmont Media Research said that "R.I.P.D." is scoring about as poorly in its online surveys as some of the costliest flops in recent memory, including "Battleship," "Jack the Giant Slayer" and "John Carter."
"R.I.P.D. is scoring the lowest out of any summer movie we've seen," said the firm's president, Joshua Lynn. "It's easily shaping up to be the big summer bomb."

Chatter about the film on social media has been largely derisive, with numerous Twitter posters pointing out "R.I.P.D.'s" perceived similarities to another supernatural buddy-cop franchise, "Men in Black," the Bill Murray comedy "Ghostbusters" and Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy" movies.
"Just saw the trailer for the new Men in Black movie," @Wil_Anderson tweeted this month. "For some weird reason they seem to have renamed it RIPD."
Universal, assuming that negative reviews will do little to enhance the film's box office, is declining to show "R.I.P.D." to journalists and critics until Thursday night, just hours before its theatrical release. None of the film's makers were made available to be interviewed for this article.
Adapted from the Dark Horse Entertainment comic "Rest in Peace Department," "R.I.P.D." was acquired by Universal producer Larry Gordon ("Field of Dreams") in summer 1999, with one of the comic's authors, Peter Lenkov ("Demoliton Man"), hired to write the screenplay. But the project stalled and Universal shelved it in 2003.
In 2006, the studio changed its mind and hired David Dobkin ("The Wedding Crashers") to direct, with writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi ("Aeon Flux") brought on to pen a new screenplay. By the summer of 2010, Reynolds had joined the project, and nearly a year later Zach Galifianakis ("The Hangover") was cast as his sidekick. By that point, Dobkin was out as director, replaced by German filmmaker Robert Schwentke.
Owing to a scheduling conflict, however, Galifianakis bowed out of the production, replaced by Bridges, who bears a strong physical resemblance to his cowboy-cop graphic novel character Roy Pulsipher.
The movie started filming in late 2011, with a planned release date of June 28, 2013. But when Sony scheduled the release of "White House Down" on the same date, Universal moved "R.I.P.D." to July 19, which also gave the filmmakers more time to convert the film into 3-D.

Universal remains hopeful that young men will embrace "R.I.P.D." and that the film could generate opening weekend receipts above $20 million. But the film has only a week to establish itself because the highly anticipated "Wolverine" opens July 26.
Regardless of how "R.I.P.D." fares, the studio has enjoyed a record year at the box office and is set to cross the $1-billion mark in domestic ticket sales this weekend, the fastest Universal has surpassed that milestone.
In one twist, "R.I.P.D." is certain to trail the debut of "Red 2," a franchise that "R.I.P.D." director Schwentke launched three years ago.
Helen Mirren, who stars in both "Red" films, said it was unfortunate that her film was likely to topple Schwentke's. "I wish him all the luck in the world," the actress said. "But I do hope we are No. 1."

'An absolutely great feeling'
Every year, hockey commentator Don Cherry issues the same warning to NHL draft prospects: Don't attend the draft in person unless you're a surefire first round pick.
Cherry's advice is designed to save prospects the potential disappointment of sitting in the stands for hours without their name being called, but Geordie Wudrick decided he was willing to risk it. On Saturday morning, he was at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa to hear the Los Angeles Kings call his name in the third round (88th overall).
"This is one of those great moments that you hope for, right up there with winning the Stanley Cup and playing your first game in the NHL," said Wudrick, a six-foot-three, 204-pound power forward who notched 20 goals and 24 assists in 66 games last season with the WHL's Swift Current Broncos. "That feeling that went through me when my name was called by (Kings GM) Dean Lombardi was just indescribable.
"Being there was an absolutely great feeling. There were so many big hockey names there. I met Bobby Orr and Mark Messier, and just seeing Wayne Gretzky around there was an experience I'll never forget."
While Wudrick was rubbing shoulders with the stars in Ottawa, his former bantam AAA Hawks linemate Derek Grant was back home in Abbotsford, faithfully monitoring the draft proceedings via television and the Internet. His moment in the sun came in the fourth round, when the Ottawa Senators picked him 119th overall.
"Ottawa's one of the best Canadian teams," Grant enthused. "It's pretty special."
The draft capped a momentous week for Grant, a skilled centre who racked up 63 points in 57 games with the junior A Langley Chiefs last season. On Monday, he committed to play for the NCAA's Michigan State Spartans in 2009. On Wednesday, the Grade 12 student finished his final exams at W.J. Mouat Secondary. And on Saturday, he was booking a ticket to fly to Ottawa on Monday for a prospects camp.
"It's been exciting, and it doesn't get much better than this," he said.
Grant said he had no idea which team he'd land with on draft day, but Wudrick had a notion that he might be headed to Southern California. At the recent draft combine in Toronto, he sensed strong interest from the Kings brass during a 45-minute interview.
"I got a really good vibe from them based on the comments they had about my game and how they see me developing in the future," Wudrick said.
Wudrick was particularly excited about being picked by the Kings after they drafted his good friend Colten Teubert in the first round (13th overall). Teubert, a White Rock product who plays defence for the Regina Pats, and Wudrick are longtime summer hockey teammates who were picked one-two in the WHL bantam draft back in 2005.
"It's sort of funny how things work out – we were rooming together at the draft combine in Toronto, and Colten said, 'Wouldn't it be funny if both of us were drafted together to L.A.'" Wudrick related. "It's ironic that it actually happened."

Explore an age-old shrine, home to baboons, cobras and other wild creatures.
Along the way, take in lively narration from your friendly skipper, known for a brave heart and a clever joke… or two. It´s a ride you won't soon forget!
The original Jungle Cruise opened in 1955 at Disneyland Park. Based on Disney's award-winning True-Life Adventure films, Jungle Cruise premiered with a more serious and educational tone. In the early 1960s, however, Walt Disney decided to introduce more drama and lighthearted scenes and asked one of his most accomplished animators, Marc Davis, to sketch some humorous gags.
Today, the attraction exists at Disney theme parks around the world, except Disneyland Paris, and is considered a favorite among Guests.

Title: | FACTORS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF DIFFERENT THIN-FILM PV TECHNOLOGIES |
Issue date: | 2012/05/24 |
Description: | ABSTRACT: This paper reports the results of high-precision energy yield measurements of different PV module technologies performed at the headquarters of TÜV Rheinland, Cologne, from May 2010 through April 2011. The investigations refer to 12 specimens each subjected to a separate electronic load for automated MPP tracking and V/Icurve measurements. Modules based on CdTe, CI(G)S, a-Si, a-Si/μ-Si, a-Si/a-Si and c-Si (mono and poly) semiconductors were analyzed and compared in a ranking with regard to the achieved specific energy yield. We consider the individual reasons for differences in performance, such as low irradiance behaviour, temperature coefficients, spectral irradiance effects and meta-instabilities of nominal power output, and describe the challenges in gathering high resolution measurement data. |

Overcoming Temptation
In His Presence: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above (James 1:17).
When we sin, the consequence is separation from God. When we sin, we break fellowship with Him. Paul conveyed his struggle with sin in Romans 7:19: "The good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want." Paul wanted us to know that he understood our struggle against sin and temptation, and he too wanted the victory but would fall to sin time and again. And if it happened to Paul, it can happen to us. But there is a solution to the struggle with temptation. The way you get rid of sin is not simply dealing with or focusing on the sin. It's like being on a diet and deciding to focus on food all the time—it's not to your benefit. Instead, to deal with temptation we must shift our focus.

Rather than viewing the cross as an historical event that will take us to heaven, we ought to view it as a current event containing everything we need to bring heaven to bear on earth.
In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans carefully and pastorally applies the cross of Christ to life today. In three parts, he considers:
• What makes Christ unique; how Old Testament prophecy and typology looked ahead to Him; and how His humiliation, death and resurrection sets Him apart as Lord
• What was accomplished on the cross for us, how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives, and how it's a source of authority for us
• What is the power of the cross and the stability it provides, deliverance it offers, the power of its ongoing remembrance, and more
The cross is the hinge of history. How much more, then, is it the hinge of your life? It gained more for you than you may realize; do not make the grave error of overlooking it. As a thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll get this brand new book, The Power of the Cross, out to you right away.

Bad Parts and cannot seem to get a good replacemen The cabinet is a perfect fit in both size and function so I was excited to receive it. The quality is that of particle board and melamine so no heirloom piece of furniture but I did not expect that for the price. The top is a little rough and will take some work sanding and sealing to make it useful for more than just setting things on. The problem is that one of the critical pieces, the divider panel between the bin side and the shelf side of the unit is defective. The piece that came with the box had both sets of holes drilled on the same side instead of the bin holes on the bin side and the shelf holes on the shelf side. I asked Overstock for a replacement and after several days they sent replacement panel. Unfortunately, that was also wrong, they did not make sure it would work before shipping it and I expressly asked them to do so. This time the holes were drilled on the wrong sides and due to the orientation of the assembly, you can't just flip it around, I tried. So back to Overstock I go. I now have a choice to return it, to try getting a replacement again or accepting the unit as is. The assembly requires gluing so there is no good way to disassemble and get it to fit back into the box it came in. Overstock can't seem to find a good, working replacement and so far they are only willing to offer a partial discount. So, it is now almost a month after my order and I am still in limbo. This has taught me that as long as the items are in good working order, all is fine. If they are easily returnable, all is fine. But if you fall into the any "Houston, we have a problem" category be prepared to wait a long time for a resolution.

Good design, but poor materials This butcher block bin is exactly what I wanted for my kitchen. Unfortunately, it was a pain to assemble (and I work in construction!), and the materials that the legs are made of are cheap particle board or compressed cardboard/wood product, and it splits easily. I wheeled it over a small carpet transition lip in my house, and the two trailing wheels fell off before I even felt any resistance. I was specifically concentrating on being careful of the wheels, because I know the materials were weak, and I broke the wheels completely off immediately. Normally when you're wheeling something like this, you slowly approach the lip of the carpet or door threshold, feel it make contact with the transition, and then you gently pull to let it come up and over the transition. In this case, the wheels just pulled apart the fibrous wood/cardboard product and split the white paint up a few inches. I'm just going to glue wood to the bottom in place of the wheels.

Adorable kitchen storage This kitchen cart was what we expected; attractive, movable and provides additional storage (garbage can especially) for our small kitchen. However in the future please be careful when packaging this product for shipping. The glue needed for some of the assembly had spilled out onto much of the contents. Luckily my husband had the same glue on hand. But many parts had to be wiped down and deglued. The butcher block top still has some glue we were not able to remove.

Questions & Answers
It had the features I wanted, especially the pull down trash bin.
"Can this be painted?"
Thank you for your question, amare. We do not recommend painting the Venture Horizon Double Wide Butcher Block Bin or making any kind of alterations to it, as it will void the warranty. Have a great day.
"Why do my casters not work on my kitchen floor when the old one I had did? Can you help me with this question"
Hello megginr22 thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
"Hi There Is the kitchen paper towel roller an option. It looks like from the photo that you screw it on yourself when assembly? thanks"
Hello Lindylou199! You are correct, it does with the paper towel roller option. Thanks for shopping with us! Have a great day!
"I have hardwood floors. What size casters are these, so I can buy ones that are safe on hardwood."
Hi mcomo, we were able to verify the casters are nylon and are 2 inch casters. Thanks for shopping with us.
"Do the wheels lock?"
Hi user886077, we were able to verify this information with our support team. The wheels do not lock. Thanks for shopping with us.
"I really like this product but a couple of things are hindering me from buying: 1. Unit of measure Nobody thinks in inches. You are making more work for customers by making them convert the measurement from inches to feet. 2. Language Can you please use product dimension language that regular people use. I just want to know the length and width of the product. What the heck does depth have to do with anything? Thanks, A concerned customer"
Hello Obuoyant27...I understand the the dimensions can be confusing. Converting these measurements to feet we have 2 ft 11 inches H x 2 ft 11 inches wide or from side to side and 1 ft. 6 inches from front to back. We hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.

Microsoft Office 2013 has received its pricetags. Home and Student - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote - is $140, while Home and Business, which adds Outlook into the mix, is $220. Professional jumps to a whopping $400, but adds Access and Publisher. For $100 per year, you can get the subscription version, which can be installed on up to 5 PCs (both Windows and OS X PCs). In related news, Microsoft still thinks it's 2001.

Fortunately for MS, there are many CIOs out there that would rather pony up the upgrade money, than go through the hassle of migrating to OpenLibre Office while then fighting back the rabble coming after them with pitchforks and torches. The professional world doesn't care about free and monopolies, they want their damn powerpoints to work.
Don't get me wrong, I use Libre Office here at home, but at work, I would rather run through a board meeting naked than push to offer up an alternative that's 85% compatible, at best.
