The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is responsible for enforcing the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) and related Regulation E, recently issued a Bulletin 2013-10 explicitly prohibiting the mandatory use of payroll card accounts at an employer-selected financial institution and otherwise discussing the requirements for such use. Of note is the fact that the EFTA and Regulation E specifically preempt any state laws relating to EFTs, unless the state law affords more protection to the consumer. Further, the CFPB has clarified that these regulations apply to both employers and large depository institutions engaged in providing or utilizing payroll card accounts.
Significant guidance within the bulletin includes the CFPB's ban against employer mandates that employees receive wages only on a payroll card of the employer's choosing, and the agency's position that employers must offer wage payments by some other means. Subject to state law requirements, the CFPB approves mandatory direct deposit at a financial institution of the employee's choosing, or, alternatively, allowing the employee to choose among wage deposits at an institution designated by the employer, or a check or cash payment. In the event of payroll card use, the bulletin also outlines some important consumer protections with which employers and financial institutions must comply, including:
- Disclosures - Regulation E affords payroll card holders the right to receive initial disclosures (at account opening or before the first transfer occurs, unless state law provides for earlier disclosure) of any fees imposed by the financial institution for electronic funds transfers ("EFTs") or for the right to make such transfers, as well as various other disclosures, including liability limitations and the types of EFTs that can be made with the payroll card. Each of these disclosures must be "clear and readily understandable, in writing, and in a form the consumer may keep."
- Access to Account History - The payroll card issuer must provide periodic statements as required by Regulation E, or, alternatively, must provide the consumer access to his/her account balance by telephone; an electronic history (such as through the Internet) of account transactions for at least 60 days preceding the electronic account access; and, upon either oral or written request by the consumer, a written history of account transactions for at least 60 days preceding the request. The account transaction history provided electronically or upon request must comply with the requirements for periodic statements under Regulation E, including transaction information; and the amount of any fees imposed during the 60 day period for EFTs, the right to make EFTs, or account maintenance.
- Limited Liability for Unauthorized Transfers - Regulation E's limited liability protections apply to payroll cards, with limited exceptions pertaining to the period in which unauthorized transfers must be reported.
- Error Resolution Rights - Financial institutions must respond to the consumer's reported errors regarding his/her payroll card account, provided that the report is received within 60 days of the earlier of the consumer's accessing the account history or receiving a written account history reflecting the error, or within 120 days after the alleged error occurs.
As the regulating entity for the EFTA and Regulation E, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Act, the CFPB's guidance proves valuable to employers and financial institutions alike who seek to (or already) use payroll card accounts in their business operations.

Yes, I think we are in total agreement just saying it differently. Generally there is the core library stack and the rest... The core stack should NOT be rebuilt by the end users especially with non-standard compilers and/or optimizations as that will make for a very difficult to support system. This should be done by the distribution maintainers themselves such that it is maintainable, tested and optimized for the target platform. Some binary based distributions spend much more time on the tool-chains they use to build the OS then others and this can have a *noticeable* performance impact. > Bah, humbug, Gentoo, pthui. While Gentoo may have some possible,... or potential,... or advertised performance benefits I personally do not run it on the systems that I architect because of the inconsistencies with different builds and installs (I prefer to use identical packages/binaries from one system to another via RPM guarantying consistency).

Every year, 700,000 prisoners are released back into our communities. Though many have good intentions to "stay out," 2 out of 3 will reoffend and 50 percent will return to prison within three years.
There is a better way.
The InnerChange Freedom Initiative (IFI) is a reentry program for prisoners based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Inmates begin the program 18 to 24 months before their release date and continue for an additional 12 months once they have returned to the community.
This values-based program is built on the belief that real and lasting change takes place from within. IFI stresses personal responsibility, the value of education and hard work, and care of persons and property.
Will you invest in this crime stopping program?
There are many ways to get involved with IFI through volunteer service or financial support. If you choose, you may designate your gift to a specific IFI program in Minnesota or Texas.
With your involvement, many more prisoners will be able to leave prison prepared to contribute positively to their communities by:
- Taking responsibility to care and provide for the needs of their family
- Participating in local churches and other religious and civic organizations
- Helping restore safety and stability to our communities by breaking free of their old cycle of crime

Augusta's original premium real life escape game experience! Located in a prime spot, up to 8 players will be challenged in this new attraction by working together to find clues, solve puzzles, and pick locks that will free them from the game room. Do you have what it takes to escape?
To view an answer, select a question below:
How long will the experience last?
Your entire experience will normally take over 1 hour, but it does depend how smart you are! The game itself can last up to 60 minutes, and we will give you a video briefing before your game starts, a full debrief once you've finished and a photo after your game.
What skills do I need to play?
No special skills or knowledge are required to play the games, apart from a decent understanding of English.
May I leave the room in the middle of the game?
It is better for your experience to stay in the game until you escape, although in an emergency you can always leave the game.
What if we need help during the game?
Your group will be assigned a personal Game Master to guide you through your experience. If you are really stuck, you may ask for a hint!
May I book a large group or a private event?
Yes you can! You'll need to contact the venue individually and they will be able to advise on what is best for your group.
What happens if I arrive late?
The door to the room closes exactly at the time you signed up for. Please arrive 15 – 20 minutes early to make sure you are there before the room is locked. We may be able to get you into the room after your allotted time, but if we can you will have time deducted. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS.
Are mobile phones permitted?
Mobile phones are not allowed to be used in the room. The use of electronic devices or any outside tools are strictly prohibited. We provide a safe place in each game room for you to store your phone and belongings while you play!
What is your cancellation policy?
We regret that tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded after purchase. We may be able to change your game to an alternative slot or provide credit for a future game. Please call the venue for more details.

Christopher Murray Paul-Huhne, generally known as Chris Huhne (/ˈhjuːn/, born 2 July 1954) is a Liberal Democrat politician and cabinet minister, who is the current Member of Parliament for the Eastleigh constituency in Hampshire. He was appointed Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change following the 2010 general election.
He has twice run for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats but was beaten on both occasions. In the 2006 election he came second to Sir Menzies Campbell and in the 2007 election he narrowly lost to Nick Clegg.
Huhne was born in an affluent section of west London to businessman Peter Paul-Huhne and amateur actress, Ann Muray, who had been the voice of the Speaking clock. He was educated at the fee-paying Westminster School. His family name was Paul-Huhne and he was known all through his school years as Christopher Paul-Huhne. At Oxford, he simplified his name to "Chris Huhne".

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass.—For the first time in her historic career, UMass Boston senior catcher Sue Killilea (Abington, Mass.) has been named the Little East Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
The two-time First Team selection was named the LEC Rookie of the Week twice as a freshman and becomes the first Beacon to earn the award since Maria Nasta ('12) in March of 2011.
Killilea hit .462 (6-for-13) with a double, three triples, five runs and three runs batted in to help UMB open its season with a 2-2 week. Most impressively, Killilea's three triples brought her career total to 28, which is tied for 15th in Division III softball history.
She hit safely in three of four games to open the season, including recording multiple hits in both ends of the Beacons' season-opening doubleheader.
Defensively, Killilea recorded 17 putouts and added three assists, including picking off a Bates College baserunner at third base, with the bases loaded and two outs in a close game.

PC manufacturers are stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to netbooks. The little buggers sell pretty well, but these sales figures come at a price: they are devastating for manufacturers' margins - and if there's one thing that lies at the base of Apple's current success, despite the crisis, it's big fat margins.
Apple doesn't want its margins to suffer, and they are not willing to lower margins for market share gains, even if it means losing market share in the current economic climate. "I think cycles come and cycles go. What we're about is making the best computers in the world, not making the most," Cook said, "We believe that if we do that over the long term, we will gain share."
While this position could previously be debated, after the recent flurry of company and overall market figures, it's hard to argue that Cook is wrong on this one. It's sad therefore, that Cook also felt the need to attack the netbook in its current form. "When I look at what's being sold in the netbook space today, I see cramped keyboards, terrible software, jerky hardware, very small screens and just not a good consumer experience and not something we would put the Mac brand on," Cook said, "It's a stretch to call them a personal computer."
I strongly disagree with this opinion, and I think the sales figures of netbooks indicate that many people disagree with Cook as well. Netbooks have been on the market for a while now, and if people really didn't like them, they would've never seen rising sales as we've seen the past year. Cook also reiterated the utterly nonsensical idea that the iPhone and iPod Touch can fill the role of netbooks, but we've already covered that one before extensively on OSNews.
I think we can safely say that we won't be seeing an Apple netbook in the foreseeable future. It simply doesn't make sense for Apple right now.

If You Worked At Mattel And Thought About Making A Non-Barbie Doll, You Can't
from the how-dare-you... dept
However, even if you grant that Mattel has some sort "ownership" over the ideas in this guy's head while he worked at Mattel, it should only apply to the first generation of Bratz dolls. However, the court has gone even further, barring everything having to do with the Bratz dolls. Mattel, of course, is thrilled. Bratz had been the first really successful competitor to the Barbie franchise, and getting a court to shut it down completely is a huge win for Mattel. There will be an appeal, of course. The judge at least allowed the products to stay on the shelves through the holiday season, and it's quite likely that the appeals court will put a stay on the injunction until it hears the case. Even if it's eventually decided at higher courts that Bratz somehow infringe on Barbie intellectual property, it seems like a fine, rather than a complete injunction is a much more reasonable punishment.

Difference between revisions of "Bonito (Mato Grosso do Sul)"
Revision as of 12:38, 14 January 2014
Get in
From Campo Grande, Bonito is served by only one bus company called Cruzeiro do Sul [9]. Buses depart every 2 hours during the day (last bus usually at 16:00) and tickets can be purchased at the bus station. The trip lasts about 5 hours. The bus service operates from Monday through Saturday. There is no bus service on Sundays or Brazilian Holidays. If you are in doubt about whether your trip falls on a holiday, contact your travel agency. If you are arriving at the bus terminal, this is the best option.
There is also van service directly from the airport to your hotel or bed & breakfast in Bonito. There are several departures from the airport starting at 14:00 daily including Sundays and holidays. While the van service costs a little more than the bus service, if you are departing from the airport, the additional cost of taking a 20 minute taxi to the bus station in the opposite direction costs more than the difference between the price of the bus and the van, which takes a more direct non-stop route to Bonito. It is best to schedule van service with your hotel or travel agencies as the cost is the same and they will monitor your arrival.
If there are four or more people in your group, or you are made of money you might want to consider contracting a private transport service. Again, this is best contracted through your travel agency or hotel in Bonito as they will monitor your progress and insure that you get to your destination if you encounter any problems.
Getting to Bonito from Iguassu Falls: Bus from Foz do Iguassu Falls to Dourados (2 buses per day - 10 hours), then transfer from Dourados to Bonito (2 buses per day 6 hours). Contact your travel agency or go to the bus terminal in Iguassu Falls for information about schedules for your departure date.
The city has an airport served by flights by Tam and Trip. There are direct flights from Campinas, São Paulo and Campo Grande. The flights are only a days per week, so if you want to arrive in Bonito directly by air plan ahead.
Get around
There is virtually no public transit in the city of bonito. there are moto-taxis, private to hire. there is no rental car company either. bike rentals available.
There are nice places to do Snorkling, explore caves, ride horses, and hike. While transportation and a guide is not always necessary, those wishing to use a guide should know that not all guides speak English, or in some cases, Spanish.
The central area of Bonito offers supermarkets, pharmacies and stores with articles for adventure sports.
There are several places in the town centre for eating at reasonable prices. You also can try out local game such as jacaré (cayman) and fish from the local rivers.
The central area of Bonito has some nice places to relax and have a cold beer or some fresh natural juices. A recommended spot is the "Taboa" bar, located in the main street, famous for it's cachaça and creative drinks made out of cachaça mixed with local fruits.
Get out
Most People come here to organise their trip to the Pantanal.
Others options:

Okay so I have set up 2 computers on a router not connected to the internet. With some custom firmware I was able to set up the router to cap limited bandwidth traffic to and from each computer to the other. I made the downstream about twice as much as the upload limitation (1 megabyte per second download limit, and 500 kilobyte upload limit).
I want to simulate a DoS attack from one computer to the other. How would I go about spoofing like a dozen IP address to flood the other? Otherwise I can only ping a few 65,535 byte size packets every second or so which isn't enough to hardly do anything. Obviously I don't have any malware-spawed zombie botnets available at my disposal since this is a closed/isolated network, so what other options are there? Sorry if my networking knowledge seems a bit elementary.

It was almost ironic, for TasteCamp participants who had also visited Virginia for the Wine Bloggers Conference, last year. The weather for the first tasting of this three-day tour of North Virginia wine country was reminiscent of the much-discussed heat of last July, with temperatures reaching into the 90s.
90 degrees is better than 100, however, and tastings were certainly enjoyable, starting with a very fresh rosé from Bordeaux varieties that Boxwood served on arrival. Crisp, balanced, fresh, with nice notes of red fruit, it is also very reasonably priced at 14$ a bottle. In fact, reasonable prices are the norm at Boxwood, with a second label red called Trellis (a very floral, substantial and joyous blend of malbec and merlot, mainly) at 18$, and the solid, classic main Bordeaux blends, Boxwood and Topiary, both selling for 25$. The winery announced yesterday that it would now be open to visitors (previously, it was by appointment only), and it is certainly is a place worth visiting, if only to get a peek at the elegant, circular barrel room.
The grand tasting, with eight Virginia wineries attending, showed a lot of good wine, whether Bordeaux blends, viogniers, chardonnays and others. Lots of well-balanced wines, some that showed a good aging capacity (2005 cabernet franc from Barboursville, for instance). As well, it was interesting to note just how different vintages can be: a cool 2009, a cool and sunny 2010 that produced reds at over 15% alcohol, and 2011 where winemakers were chasing maturity like crazy, despite the heat spikes of July.
There is much more to say, of course, but it is almost 8 am and the bus will be leaving for vineyard walks and all the other nice things in the TasteCamp agenda. See you later!

Piracy is a big problem for large software
vendors licensors like Microsoft. As such, the Redmond giant is undertaking several anti-piracy efforts all over the world, and, of course, it attempts to make its software harder to crack through activation and validation. As The New York Times has discovered, however, the prevalence of pirated Microsoft software in Russia is giving the Russian authorities a pretence to raid the offices of outspoken advocacy groups or opposition media - supported by Microsoft lawyers. Update: Microsoft responds with a blog post that says all the right things, including "Microsoft will create a new unilateral software license for NGOs that will ensure they have free, legal copies of our products."

RE[2]: You can't expect much from Microsoft lawyers

Linux is where it is today because of the GPL, not necessarily because of how an American or any other national company, foundation, or individual has made contributions to Linux kernel (that includes Microsoft)
The GPL is what keeps the companies (and everyone else) in line who use and contribute to the Linux code. Linux would not be what it is today had it not been put under this particular license.

Okay, but to the point, Kevin (Wig-ee-er-um-nall) has put up an interesting post with a very interesting question at the end. Again, authors, soon-to-be-authors, anyone thinking and talking about book promotion will find this worth their time to consider.
He's probably slaughtered me in the comments by now. But it's okay. We don't always agree, but it makes for interesting discussions. Actually, Kevin Wignall was the reason I really want to do a panel called "Is Fair Foul and Foul Really Fair? Do we really need those bleeping expletives? Swearing in crime fiction." Some day, Kevin and I will be on that panel at a convention. Of course, not if the event organizers know what's good for them…
Now, in a bit of a BSPish moment here, I'd like to thank some people. Mindy. Trace. Ken Bruen. Angie. SW Vaughn. James. (And if you read James Oswald's story in the fall Spinetingler, congratulate him. He's written a manuscript based off that story, and I can't wait to read it. He put down the final words on the draft on New Year's Day – what a way to start 2007 James!)
What does thanking them have to do with BSP? Each of them posted this week about my book being available for pre-order on Barnes & Noble (or in Ken's case, commented on the book in an interview). And none of them had to. They all decided on their own they wanted to, and surprised me. I'm sure from time to time I'll hit other blogs and see mentions as well, and there are probably some I've missed here. But I've been simultaneously honoured and humbled to see you guys spreading the word about my book. Thank you.
Thanks to Norby, we now know my ratio of dog to cat in my breeding
|You Are: 60% Dog, 40% Cat
You are a nice blend of cat and dog.
You're playful but not too needy. And you're friendly but careful.
And while you have your moody moments, you're too happy to stay upset for long.
And since I was there anyway, I had to settle this question once and for all
|You Are 40% Sociopath
From time to time, you may be a bit troubled and a bit too charming for your own good.
It's likely that you're not a sociopath... just quite smart and a bit out of the mainstream!

Disgust in Greek and Roman Literature, History and Art
Celtic Classics Conference, Edinburgh, June 25-28, 2014
Date limite : 10 novembre 2013
Coordinated by Professor Donald Lateiner (Ohio Wesleyan University, USA) and Dr Dimos Spatharas (University of Crete)
Disgust is a distinctively sensory emotion that wards off real or perceived contaminants. It is typically, but not exclusively, associated with the mouth, since it centers on oral consumption and surfeit. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that danger is sometimes described as central to disgust, it is not a necessary constituent of this emotion: poisonous mushrooms are more dangerous than sterilized cockroaches, but their sight does not make us feel sick. Disgust is also an emotion caused by 'magical' thinking and therefore frequently involves ideations rather than beliefs: Swiss chocolate ceases to be a delicacy when it is served in the shape of feces, and we find a glass of orange juice less refreshing if we spot the waitress's hair in it. Finally, as common experience indicates, disgust arises from excrements and other fluids of the human body as well as other substances whose qualities, especially stickiness and softness, are associated with them. Disgust has therefore been interpreted as an emotion that sets boundaries between human beings and animal nature.
Disgust is an emotion that displays remarkable salience in our moral vocabulary. Hence, we frequently tend to express sentiments of anger, indignation, or hatred through the idiom of disgust. The emotion figures prominently in our early moral education, because parents and other educators employ disgust and shame to control unwanted types of behaviour. By projecting aversive qualities onto morally condemnable categories, disgust has also been amply used to dehumanize, and, thereby, marginalize individuals. Nazi and, unfortunately, neo-Nazi propaganda abounds in relevant examples and the same situation applies to certain modern homophobic or misogynistic stereotypes.
We invite abstracts of 300 words on any aspect of Greek and Roman literature, history, and art that can enhance our understanding of disgust. Papers will typically be 40 minutes each with ten minutes of discussion.
Confirmed speakers and topics:
Daniel Levine (U. of Arkansas): "Disgust and delight: polysemous αἰβοῖ in Attic comedy"
Dimos Spatharas (U. of Crete): "Understanding visceral sentiments"
Robert Kaster (Princeton U.): "Not tonight, dear, I'm feeling a little /pig/"
Jack Lennon (U. C. London): "Unclean professions in the Roman world"
Debbie Felton (U. of Massachusetts): "The Disgusting Roman Witch as Abortionist?"
Donald Lateiner (Ohio Wesleyan U.): "Evoking disgust in Latin novels"
Stelios Panayotakis (U. of Crete): "A short history of nausea"
Please submit abstracts to both Professor Donald Lateiner ( Cette adresse email est protégée contre les robots des spammeurs, vous devez activer Javascript pour la voir. ) and Dr Dimos Spatharas ( Cette adresse email est protégée contre les robots des spammeurs, vous devez activer Javascript pour la voir. ) by November 10, 2013.
Possible topics of discussion would include:
- the phenomenology of disgust, e.g., body language and disgust, the symptomatology of disgust and its action tendencies
- the semantics of disgust and metaphorical discourse
- definitions of disgust in philosophical treatises and disgust in ancient ethics
- the uses of projective-disgust as a means of stigmatizing and marginalizing groups of individuals, e.g. the kinaidos, prostitutes, foreigners or disabled people
goriness and horror in narratives
- the uses of disgust in psogos, comedy and forensic slander
- perspectives on disgust in ancient novels: characters, narrators, audiences
- disgust and gender, e.g. its relation to misogynistic stereotypes; rape, adultery and abortion; the construction of gender-identities; regulations controlling sexual behaviour
- disgust, surfeit and sympotic etiquette
- ancient approaches to hygiene and the implications of disgust; the suffering body, disease and disgust; disgust and contamination
- mapping the boundaries between disgust and pollution in religious practices and ritual
- disgust and the law
- threats of disgusting consequences from social policing of inferiors and equals
- suppression of disgust in medical and military training
- disgust and obscenity: are there ascertainable ancient boundaries?
- changing attitudes towards what constitutes disgusting–is a history of ancient disgust possible?
- differences between Hellenic and Roman concepts and practices regarding disgust
- beasts and disgust

I am a writer, writing in English and living in Germany. To help my research-work in in two languages, I am in search of a language with which I can automate tasks related to English sentence markup, syntax marking of text, etc.
Because this work is syntax oriented and very much rules driven, I have almost decided that LISP would be the right language.
I would welcome hearing from any experienced users with programming interest in the same area.
When one is on the outside looking in, help in finding the ideal starting point from someone on the inside is invaluable.
I look forward to any help; if someone feels that I should elaborate on the content of this post, i will do so.

building a computer
i'm about to build a new computer since i got enough cash to do it and since i'm borrowing the one i have at the moment
i've got plenty to spend makin it sice i've been savin up for it and have came up with a spec i would go for, but wanted someone elses opinion on it and they know if some other hardware is better than whats there
i just want the best pc with extreme performance to play games and watch videos
its gona dualboot xp and vista
heres the spec:
Asus CROSSHAIR
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, 3.0 GHz AM2 Socket
BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX
Corsair Dominator 2GB memory
Gigabyte 3D Aurora Case Black
THERMALTAKE Toughpower 700W PSU
LiteOn 20X DVD WRITER +/- Burner SATA BLACK
ZALMAN Copper CPU Cooler For AM2
Asus PG191 Gaming Monitor
i'm not sure about the psu, monitor or the cpu cooler
i thought about getting it watercooled but i heard its expensive to maintain
what do you think is it ok or is there some other bits or hardware that can make it better?

Why AMD? At that price range C2D is the better buy, particularly if you're overclocking. I do hear rumours that the Barcelona will be released September 10 so cuts should be coming to the x2 6000. I hate Thermaltake PSU's, their shady business practices regarding low end PSU's turn me off. I'd prefer OCZ gamestream and Silverstone Zeus series in the same price range or cheaper.
TT PSU crappiness - in my noobness 2 years ago I learnt the hard way how crappy their products are
Oh and I'd be checking out either an artic cooling freezer 64 (or its Intel variant) or Scythe Ninja. Abit IP35 motherboard or Gigabyte P35 for an intel mobo

I think there's a more practical reason why Intel would be a better bet than AMD for your CPU. It's got to do with possibly upgrading your computer in the future. Intel have stuck with their 775 socket for ages now...4 years I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in the same time, AMD have gone from Socket A to Socket 754 to Socket 939 to AM2. And they have AM2+ and AM3 coming up in the not-too-distant future as well. It messes up with upgrading components, because if you want to upgrade a CPU, you would also have to upgrade your motherboard too.
Are you going to spend more time playing games or watching videos? If you're spending more time watching videos, then a quieter running video card would make sense. Something like a passively-cooled GeForce 8600GTS. You're still getting decent performance, and your viewing experience is going to be better without a loud-running GPU fan.
As for the hard drives...do you really need the space? My preference would be to have one fast-running 10K RPM drive (do Seagate make them? I know Western Digital make the Raptors, but traditionally WD have had problems with noise) for the OS and applications, and a larger hard drive for storage.
Cases...I like the Antec cases better, but then again it's just a personal preference thing. Have a look at the P180 (or the P182), they're really well designed IMO.
As for the motherboard...Are there any X38 chipset based motherboards out yet? I don't think so, but maybe they'd be pretty good. IF you don't need SLI capability, maybe a good motherboard choice would be one based on the nVidia 650i chipset.
Yeah, you won't need the 8800GTX unless you plan to play on 1920x1200 or larger. Or if you're going to play Crysis, of course =D

AM2+ and AM3 is rumoured to "work" on this generation of motherboards. However whether this generation of motherboards will be able to take full advantage of these processors remains to be seen. They will require bios upgrades at the minimum but as to whether the motherboard manufacturers will do that is highly unlikely.
There maybe slightly quieter 10,00rpm drives but none of them will be quiet. That's why most people only use them for O/S and game installs where fast loads are essential. But still there are solutions around this for under $50 (Scythe Silentbox). Or alternatively get yourself a Lian Li case if you're serious about silencing. (or a zalman TNN case for a bit of overkill)
For 2.5k system an 8600gts is probably the most out of place component. It's too power hungry to be a HTPC solution but too crippled to be a serious gaming solution. You might as well save $50-$80 and get an x1950pro or 7900gs, because it's clear an 8600gts will be piss poor for dx10 gaming and at this stage these cards still outperform the 8600's
It's also a bit premature to call a chipset that hasn't been real world tested to be "good". Via and Sis keeps putting out crap so it is entirely possible this could be absolute donkey shite.

I'm not saying that having a solid upgrade path isn't something that you should try to opt for when possible, of course. You should consider how often you upgrade, and/or how quickly your system will become underpowered for what you're trying to do. Gamers would definitely want something with an easy upgrade path, but I think that anyone else can get away with rebuilding entire systems every 4-7+ years.

Let me see, would a MS Windows user would like to have a highly portable device with ...
- fast synchronization with MS Outlook and Office docs;
- a basic editor and full previewer for MS Office docs;
- sync for My documents;
- access to some MS enterprise tools;
- access to some MS enterprise services;
- a non-nonsense media management;
yes, I would love and this is from someone that is mostly a linux user, even though I work with MS technology all day.
Most people really don't have all that use for the power desktops and regular portables we have these days. Give them something they can plug a keyboard, mouse and monitor when they arrive at office (preferably through just one plug or dock) and unlock access to services and tools, even through RDP, and that they can use when in the field to consult messages and other informations. One thing with good enough space when traveling back and forth to home to read and play multimedia files and they will have all their needs fulfilled.
Microsoft can deliver, they just need to get their acts straight to do that. They have all the tools they need and just should stop to diverge their efforts on nonsense things. If and when they do that, they will sell their stuff very quickly and by millions.

Not the most exciting road to the Final Four
The Final Four is finally set and if anyone out there had this particular grouping, I believe I would have to call you a liar.
That being said, the Final Four is a lot more believable than the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight.
But with a lot of unusual teams making deep runs into the tournament, there are only two possible outcomes.
We see unbelievable Cinderella stories (think George Mason and Butler) or they burn out with a fizzle.
Sadly, this year we got that second option.
For the full column, see Tuesday's Malvern Daily Record.

TROY – In an effort to make college more affordable and to encourage students to complete their academic programs quickly, Troy University is making 500 new scholarships available to new students.
Under the program, qualified students – 400 seeking bachelor's degrees and 100 seeking graduate degrees – will receive a refund of the application fee and credits for tuition valued at approximately $3,000.
"The University is trying to help students stretch their money to make a college degree more affordable," said Dr. Lance Tatum, Vice Chancellor of Global Campus. "The scholarship will help our adult students to stay on track with their programs once they've begun."
To be eligible, all students must enroll at either a Global Campus site, Dothan, Montgomery, Phenix City campus or online through eTROY between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31, 2013 and not receive any other University-funded scholarship during their time of attendance.
Incoming students may apply for scholarship online at www.troy.edu. Priority for awards will be based on the date application packages are completed and will be announced in August 2013. Recipients will be issued certificates indicating their awards and application fee refunds.
Additionally, for those seeking a bachelor's degree, students must be unconditionally admitted and have a 2.5 high school grade point average, or, for transfer students, a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or a GED score of at least 550. Bachelor's degree students must successfully complete 18 semester credits per year, and complete their degree program no longer than five years from start. They must complete a minimum of 48 hours at TROY.
Those seeking graduate degrees must be unconditionally admitted to a graduate degree program, successfully complete 15 semester credits per year and complete their degree in two years.
Tuition for the final nine hours of the bachelor's degree, or the final six hours of the graduate degree, will be covered by the University upon verification of eligibility by providing an official academic evaluation to the scholarship coordinator. This process must be completed prior to registration for the final credit hours.
Students seeking associate degrees or certificates are not eligible.
"This is a way to reward successful adult students who work hard and stay on track to complete their degree programs, as well as an opportunity to fill a void for financial assistance to those students who otherwise have no scholarship opportunities," said Dr. Earl Ingram, Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
"We want to reward hard work and dedication to degree completion," he said.
For more information regarding applying to TROY, contact the Office of Admissions at 800-414-5756, or visit online at www.troy.edu.

Family and friends gathered to mark the life of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, marching to the park where she was killed.
They lit candles and released balloons in Hadiya's memory. The gathering was sometimes emotional, but mostly somber as the group of teenagers reflected on their loss.
They gathered to share memories and offer each other support. Most of those at Saturday night's vigil were former classmates of Hadiya, the teenager shot and killed last Tuesday while hanging out with friends from King College Prep's volleyball team in Kenwood's Harsh Park.
"One day I was really upset and came into school she was at the door smiling and bubbly," said Kristina Henderson. "I automatically fell into a smile, I couldn't keep my anger. I had to let it go."
Earlier in the day, another gathering took place at the park as dozens of members of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition marched from Hadiya's high school. While Hadiya's cousin spoke out, calling on whoever is shielding the shooter to turn him in.
"What kind of person are you?" said Shatira Wilks. "I don't believe there should be any level of privilege for this person as our family has not had any. The biggest concern is calling in. Don't be afraid."
A majorette of the band at King College Prep, Hadiya had recently performed at President Barack Obama's inauguration.
In a youtube video posted by the Forestville-King Alumni Association, Hadiya can be seen along with two fellow majorettes as she was interviewed during an previous event.
"She was laughing quirky, someone had an iPad, she was on the iPad taking pictures. Those are the last memories I have of her," said LaTonya Fairley.
There is a $40,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual or individuals responsible for the teen's slaying.
According to Pastor Acree, Pendleton's funeral will be Saturday, February 9 at 10 a.m. at Greater Harvest Baptist Church, 5141 S. State St.

Genealogists preserve history in way that is increasing in popularity
Descendents of Moses Upchurch, born 1822- died 1880, gathered Sunday, in the Old Colcolough Cemetery for an honor ceremony for the newly erected Civil War headstone.
The special service is one of the ways genealogists are recognizing the accomplishments of their family, as well as preserve family and local history.
Descendents and relatives attend the Sunday afternoon service which was conducted by local Civil War re-enactment group, the 1st Mississippi Light Artillery, Company C (Turner's Battery).
The Old Colcolough Cemetery is located at the junction of Hwy. 25 South and Dorman Lake Road, about seven miles south of Starkville.
Sunday's service is one of a growing trend among genealogists. Researching family history can take a genealogist in several directions, even to cemeteries to find relevant information.
As more and more information is revealed about a name from the past, families discover crumbling grave markers, if any markers can be found.
As a way of honoring the past and providing a marker for future research, the trend to replace the marker and honor military service is important.
As part of Sunday's service, visitors learned more about the life of Moses Upchurch.
Moses and his wife, Emily Wilson, moved into Oktibbeha County around 1856 from Perry County, Ala.
In 1862, Moses joined the Mississippi military and served as private in Co. E, 3rd Battalion MS Infantry, State Troops. On July 4, 1863 he was captured during the seige of Vicksburg and later paroled when he swore allegiance to the United States.
Returning to Oktibbeha County, Moses and Emily lived south of Starkville and in 1871 he was working as an overseer on the Valentine Plantation. The last record of Moses and Emily is the 1880 US Census for Oktibbeha County.
Moses and Emily were the parents of ten known children, several of whom continued to live in the Oktibbeha County area. Many descendents can be found today in surrounding counties. The ten children were Mark Wesley U., John Thomas U., twins- Robert Albron/Alvin and William Calvin U., Monroe Franklin U., Troy McDonald U., Peter J. U., Walter Lane U., Martha U., and Ara Minta U.
Moses was a fourth generation descendent of the immigrant ancestor, Michael Upchurch, who arrived in America in 1650.
He is also the grandson of the first Moses Upchurch, who served for America in the Revolutionary War.

Samos Climate & Weather
Samos Climate and Weather
Sunshine is the order of every day in Samos during the summer months, but temperatures remain comfortable with the help of the 'meltemia', northern winds that cool the sun-drenched island. Rainfall is heavy, but most of the rain falls in winter. From mid-April until mid-October the weather is almost completely dry. Summer is indisputably the peak tourist season and this is when the beaches, restaurants and clubs are packed full. For those who may want to explore the island without the crowds, late spring and early autumn are also gorgeous times to visit Samos. In May the island is at its most lush after the rainy season and water temperatures are warming up; in September the seas are still as warm as in summer and the weather is pleasantly balmy, though not as hot as in summer. Accommodation is also a bit cheaper in the off-season.

The iFruit app for Grand Theft Auto V has finally arrived on Android, but it's hardly been the celebratory announcement it should have been. Over 400 people have given it three stars or less, with over 300 of those reviews giving it only a single star.
The app is slow, glitchy, and late as hell. Can't say I blame people for giving it bad reviews.
its laggy, glitchy, can't even do some things right. I have a galaxy S3 no excuse for that on that phone.
My note 2 was lagging so bad. Playing with chop was so frustrating.

Heartland 'Pearl' ElkRidge Set For Open House
September 10, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Heartland 'Pearl' ElkRidge Set For Open House
ElkRidge by Heartland Recreational Vehicles LLC continues to target the heart of the growing half-ton towable market, significantly upgrading and expanding its midprofile fifth-wheel line with the addition of an all-new Xtreme Lite Edition and a distinctive Pearl-colored exterior.
According to a press release, the Xtreme Light series is built with an all-aluminum superstructure and all-new cutting edge-construction techniques to save weight for today's new trucks.
"Consumers continue to migrate toward trailers that can be towed by smaller vehicles," said Heartland President Chris Hermon. "Our goal was to bring to market a line of midprofile fifth-wheels that combines lightweight laminated construction with the types of amenities buyers are demanding at a price point that distinguishes ElkRidge as a value line for dealers."
General Manager Bryan Walczak noted, "With the ElkRidge Xtreme Light, RVers can purchase a full-featured lightweight fifth-wheel at a travel trailer price."
The Pearl Exterior Package offers high-end automotive styling with rich, cream-colored sidewalls, a painted front cap and high-gloss gel-coat fiberglass exterior. The upgrade package is available on all ElkRidge models and will be prominently displayed during the Sept. 17-19 Elkhart County RV Open House at the RV/MH Hall of Fame.
"The pearl color, coupled with the front cap and gel-coat finish, creates a very finished look that is unique in the marketplace," said Walczak. "It's a feature that will stand out on dealers' lots, grabbing consumers' attention and providing a profitable step-up for salespeople. It is a full-body paint look, without the full-body paint price."
Hermon added, "We expect ElkRidge to be a huge success at the upcoming Open House. The next six to 12 months will be great as dealers and customers will see how we are taking this product to the next level. I'm looking for ElkRidge to climb the stats and join our other three Top 10 fifth-wheel brands."
Heartland's ElkRidge will be showing three new floorplans at the Open House with nine configurations ranging from 26 to 34 feet and MSRPs starting at $27,000. "The ElkRidge is another example of Heartland staying in front of the competition and continuing to hit those hot button sectors of the market with something that stands tall against the competition," Walczak said.
For more information before the show, please check out www.heartlandrvs.com, or contact Bryan Walczak directly at (574) 532-1491 or email@example.com.

How could I improve this - various questions?
I have been working on this scene for a while now and am at the present stage highlighted below with the printouts.
I would like some constructive critique on the work - both good and bad as to where I can improve...
I have tried to put some sea in the scene but this was so unrealistic I removed it again - so any feedback on how to get sea with rolling waves (not a storm!) and a ripple on the seashore would be handy... I've yet to come across something telling me how to go about this...
Secondly I would like to add some log tyoe fencing - how would I go about this... I could also do with some kind of wooden gate...
And thirdly - I want to convert this scene into some kind of night scene too - so how would I add an old fashioned street light to the scene? I tried with a llighting object but this went simply stupid and looked too severe - I want to be able to have rays of light shining down onto the road and the underside of the branches.
I know this is a lot to ask in one topic, but I would welcome any advice and suggestions by all members - new and old!
Be nice or harsh - I'm tough and can take it!

@Terry: The one thing that catches my eye is the edge of the terrain in front and to the fore side of the houses. Those areas would look better feathered toward the road and beach(?) using the Terrain Editor, or by lowering the entire terrain until those edges are even with the road and beach(?). The sky and lighting doesn't look quite right to me for the scene, but I lack experience on how to adjust them.
Dave Savage Posts: 2,365
David has an excellent short video tutorial that deal with creating an easy shoreline scene with convincing waves.
I'm sure he'll be along soon with a link for you on that or you could go check the list at the top of the sub forum. :)
As for the street light... Adding lighting to night time scenes can be complex so it's not going to be easy to give anything more than general direction on it. There are old street lights available on ShareCG and usually only require a Bryce light to be inserted inside them as I have done in this render, and then the light edited until it gives the effect you want. :)1_Foggy_Dock.jpg1280 x 800 - 866K
OK yes, am about, sea is tricky, shorelines doubly so,

Also might help,

Adapting this for the street lamp effect might work,
Bryce lighthouse "light beam" effect - a 15 minute tutorial by David Brinnen
However, I'm going to put making a street lamp effect down on my "to do" list since it seems to crop up fairly regularly and it sounds like an interesting challenge.
For the fencing and the gate, either building it from Bryce primitives or modelling in Wings 3D would be obvious suggestions. There are not real shortcuts to be offered here that I can think of, that would prove beneficial in the long run.
Overall, your lighting looks very "flat", possibly due to setting down shadow intensity, so there is plenty of room for improvement on that scrore. You have the makings already of a fantastic scene in terms of the 3D elements, the weakness is not the content but the lighting and related effects.
How powerful is your computer?
@Dave Brinnen:
Computer - top of the range (I hope) ...or it was last month... :-) it certainly cost enough...
Intel I7 running at 4.something Ghz - 16GB RAM and loads of space... Graphics card is good too.. 1TB drive space free.
I did spec this out in another topic - was told it's more than required.
I am aware that the lighting looks flat and want to do something about that...
I will look at the tutorials in a minute and see what this brings up.
Thanks for the feedback - will also look up Wings3d - never heard of that one before - is it like bryce?
Wings 3D...

Having a powerful computer helps if you want to make the most of Bryce, it is not essential, but it will save you a lot of time and stress.
I'm with you on the saving time @DaveBrinnen: but I'm not with you on the stress... :-)Post edited by tdrd on

(New York, January 16, 2004) An Iranian Revolutionary Court order threatening the arrest of Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi places all human rights defenders in Iran at risk, Human Rights Watch said today.
This is a blatant attempt by the Iranian government to silence one of the few remaining voices for human rights in Iran. If even a Nobel prize winner can be threatened, then no activist is safe.

About ibaconi
In the commielib egoteneoism, ration is evacuated in faith 'er somethin', Profit and the pursuit of it is eeeeevil! and can be nothing but a conspiracy driven by foul intent. They really do believe this, just as snake handlers believe handling snakes is Godly. You can't change their minds via reason any more than you can convert a Mormon via reason. What is, IS BECAUSE it IS, I know it and yer STUPID, I win! See it as entertainment from which you can draw pleasure. Their proper place in life is comedy for the intelligent. 'er somethin'..
Snail mail would still be the vogue if you could write one letter, send it to all your friends and their friends and so on, automatically. Come on, it evolution of another art form!
Yep, check out Ayn Rand and Objectivism. This "obscene" desire for money is at the very root of advancement. Personally, as an artistic performer of over 40 years, I see this as a marvelous move in the right direction!
Indeed, it boils down to egoteneoism and matters of furniture are highly unlikely to reach a religious level as is global warming, evolution, liberalism or conservatism for example..
Did someone try to blow the whistle on Obuma? Next thing you know they'll be tryin' to pass him off as bein' American!
I stopped reading at "stopped".
Freedom always has been somewhat of an illusion, and must be to some extent in a successful social environment. But now it's not even being feigned at. The right to be "accepted", particularly if you are a social outcast, seems to be the only "right" being fought for and protected the by current and recent administrations. The concepts of freedom and responsibility are actually looked down upon, other than the "freedom" to be bizarre and the "responsibility" to accept bizarre behavior. The Constitution is absolutely meaningless except when it can be twisted in some way to back the absolutely unConstitutional principles under current favor. For example "religion", there is absolutely nothing in the constitution separating the state from religion. The constitution simply protects religion and the practice of it from government. There IS NO separation of church and state, only protection of religion from state, but you'd never know that if you didn't simply read the 1st amendment yourself, and keeping your personal prejudices from interpreting what you read. The biggest problem with our government is that it has become a profession. Our legislators are not there to "serve" they are there to be served and this will never work. "A representative republic, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT" There is still hope but the American people have got to extract their heads from their asses and behave with some nobility rather than holding out their hands to Uncle Sam pleading gimme gimme gimme please. Tolerance and support of the so called, underclasses is destroying this country. You find a hell of a lot more people barking about freedom than responsibility, but the one can't exist without the other. The greater the responsibility, the greater the freedom can become.
What the hell difference does ANY of this make? Why does ANYONE care. 2 imbeciles run into one another and a confrontation of a very minor sort occurs over essentially nothing and so what? Will this remove Obuma from office? Will this provide opportunity for lemonade stands? Does this open the door to open rebellion? I can't believe I wasted my time watching it, but there ya go.
I'm not a photographer, I'm a musician, but I ALWAYS seek the advice of a cop as to the esthetics of the music I'm thinkin' of performing. Just as I always consider the wisdom of Obama when thinking of Freedom & Responsibility and junkies when considering responsibility.

Thibodaux business owner Al Waguespack will be grand marshal for the Thibodaux Firemen's Fair this spring.
Thibodaux business owner Al Waguespack will be grand marshal for the Thibodaux Firemen's Fair this spring.
The announcement was made at Friday's annual Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department meeting.
Jeff Naul was also elected as the new assistant chief during the meeting. He replaces Mike Oncale Jr., who stepped down because of a new job.
Waguespack said he is "humbled" to be chosen to lead the parade and fundraising for the fair, which generates at least half the money for the department's budget.
"I know most of these guys, and I think the world of what they do," Waguespack said of the firefighters.
Waguespack is not a firefighter, as is sometimes the case for the fair's grand marshal. He owns the Thibodaux fuel distributor Waguespack Oil Co. Inc. and Wag-A-Pak convenience stores.
Waguespack is a Vacherie native, though he has lived in Thibodaux since 1976, he said.
Waguespack said it'll be a tough act to follow the turnout and fundraising of last year's fair, which broke all previous records by raising $633,000.
Still, that's exactly what last year's grand marshal, Alan Savoie, said before the fair because the 2011 grand marshal, J. Vance Broussard, had helped to shatter past records as well.
The Thibodaux department also elected a new secretary.
After serving for nearly two decades as secretary, Ken Bourgeois stepped down, and Billy Royster took his place.
Fire Chief Randy Pate also gave a summary of the department's activity in 2012. Firefighters responded to 346 calls last year, compared to 357 in 2011.
There were eight building fires within or just outside the city limits of Thibodaux in 2012, and an average of 49 firefighters responded to each of these fires.
As of Dec. 31, there are 269 active firefighters in the department.

MACON, Ga. (Nov. 11, 2008) - After helping lead the ETSU men's soccer team to six wins in its inaugural season Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.) and James Holt (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) were named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman team, announced Tuesday by the conference.
"To receive two players to the A-Sun All-Freshman team is an honor and shows that we have talented, young players within the team," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "The All-Freshman team year in and year out identifies the players who go on to play pivotal roles in their programs and within the A-Sun conference. Sean and James have been recognized by their peers for their outstanding play this season and they are both extremely deserving of this award."
"James and Sean played key roles in this first season," Calabrese added. "Sean was critical in our ability to control the midfield areas. His athleticism and engine combined with a winner's mentality is an asset to the team. James showed poise and presence at the back beyond his years. His steady play and key saves kept us within reach of our opponents all season."
The Bucs were led offensively by Hoek who had three goals, one assist and seven points on the season. All three of Hoek's goals were game winners coming against Wofford, Elon and High Point.
Holt had a good season in goal for ETSU as he earned three shutouts on the season and posted a 6-9-1 record. The Murfreesboro native finished second in the conference in saves with 88 and third in saves per game 5.50.
"These players as well as the other freshman gained valuable experiences in their first season," Calabrese said. "We have in our first year established a strong foundation from which we can build a successful program. I expect great things from them as well as others in the future."

Pepsi has pulled a Mountain Dew ad being called history-making for its racism. The ad features a battered woman on crutches, a lineup of "thugs" and a goat with a serious temper and addiction to Mountain Dew.
Dr. Boyce Watkins on the site YourBlackWorld.net called the ad "arguably the most racist commercial in history."
The ad was part of a three-segment commercial created by Tyler, the Creator, leader of the Odd Future hip-hop group, reported MTV News. In the first commercial, Felicia the Goat attacks a waitress who does not bring the goat enough Mountain Dew. In the second commercial, Felicia gets away from police at a traffic stop. In the third, things get nasty.
Tyler depicts the waitress, battered and on crutches facing a police lineup that includes Felicia the Goat and five black men. The men are dressed in attire that would perpetuate every imaginable stereotype of a "thug."
During the lineup, the goat intimidates the woman by saying "keep your mouth shut" and "I'm going to get out of here and do you up." The commercial ends with the waitress screaming and running from the police station.
If you're wondering how anything this offensive could be put on the air, you're not alone. Apparently Tyler was allowed to do whatever he wanted with the commercial.
"'They actually gave me a chance and let me be 7 years old with their product," Tyler told MTV News.
