Sea level rise is not the same at different point on the earth. There are other factor which affect the rise such as gravity and terrain.
"During the past 50 years, sea level has risen up to 8 inches or more along some coastal areas of the United States, and has fallen in other locations. The amount of relative sea-level rise experienced along different parts of the U.S. coast depends on the changes in elevation of the land that occur as a result of subsidence (sinking) or uplift (rising), as well as increases in global sea level due to warming. In addition, atmospheric and oceanic circulation, which will be affected by climate change, will influence regional sea level. Regional differences in sea-level rise are also expected to be related to where the meltwater originates."
Previous predictions (eg those made in the 1980s) about global warming have been surprisingly accurate considering the level of computing power and sophistications of the modeling:

Not only is USDA Organic not pesticide free, the USDA allows compost which it knows contains pesticide residues to be used in USDA Organic food production. It also tries really hard to make sure that nothing is tested so as to what else in the the compost (or the food, for that matter) is strictly a matter of conjecture.
And, BTW, the USDA makes it clear that USDA Organic does not mean GMO free either.
I wish the Carter's all the best. I know many other boomers in the exact same situation as the Carter's.
I wonder if they checked out how much they could rent their house for? If the house can rent for the approximate cost of maintaining the house, perhaps renting out the house and moving to a smaller, less expensive apt.
If we export coal to China, will China guarantee that the air pollution from the plants that burn the coal they import from us will not end up in our air, water, and soil?
Heck, if we're going to destroy our health, wouldn't it be better to do it here as part of a process of bringing back the jobs Wall Street (and all those "free" trade agreements) shipped overseas? If we buy American, companies such as Apple and Wal-Mart would be driven out of business so their major supplier, China, wouldn't need all those coal-fired power plants and imported coal so the issue would be moot
If it makes perfect sense to you, please inform us of the details such as who and what is being cut. I would love to understand exactly how the cuts are being made and the effect on the kids.
Or, do you not have the data upon which to defend your claims, as I suspect? I don't know if your claims are accurate or not -- and neither do you!
To a teachers compensation package in perspective:
JPMorgan Chase & Co Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon's was paid around $21,000,000 in 2010.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein saw his compensation jump to $14.1 million.
Wells Fargo & Co's John Stumpf saw his compensation FALL to $19 million in 2010.
And you complain about how much a teacher is paid? You really have your priorities messed up.
Without the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 the light bulb, and anything else that requires electricity, would have seen very limited (if any) use. Thomas Edison and his inventions would not be common place without the US government providing direct loans, guaranteeing loans, and providing subsidizes to ensure that all areas of the country were electrified.
Our country was build on government policies whether it be giving land away to and providing bonds for the development of the transcontinental railroad or the tariff our founding fathers placed on imported goods. Study your history and analyze the whole picture rather than make claims that are completely misleading and factually incomplete.
I'll bet the businesses on the coast would love to have 30,000 government beach monitors, especially if they earned $80k each. Think of the boon for all the small businesses on the coast of all those customers buying things, eating at restaurants, renting apartments or staying in motels/hotels. And that doesn't include the fisherfolk, the farmers, and all the support people for the businesses. It'd be our tax dollars well invested in getting a part of our economy going again.
China is not socialist as we think of "socialism" in European terms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_socialism
That pollution is blowing right towards us and we get to breath it every day!
Whether is or not there's a religious leader in Portland who advocates violence is a straw man; there are other widely accepted "Christian" leaders in this country that advocate hatred and violence, including murder, of others because they are gay, provide health care to women, etc. (Look at the slide show at the bottom of this page: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/21/north-carolina-pastor-gay-rant-starvation_n_1533463.html?ref=mostpopular#s=1002401) I would utterly amazed if there was not a fundamentalist preacher/pastor/rabbi in Oregon not preaching hatred toward gays. All of them, including this imam, are wrong.
As to the difference in treatment in this country as opposed to the these other countries: 1) the treatment of women in these other countries is cultural and predates Islam, and 2) if you look at how women were historically treated in this country you would find very little difference. The key difference is that we are a secular state though the "good" Christians in this nation are doing everything in their power to reformulate our government as a theocracy. For comparative purposes, I suggest you look at how the Catholic Church, Mormon Church, any of the Evangelical Churches, or fundamentalist Jewish sects treat women.
Conservation is the least expensive and most efficient way to ensure a consistent power supply while keeping the cost of power down. This rule applies across the board from the smallest home to the largest fabrication facilities.
1) Sharia is no more anti-women than "Christian" law -- especially if one takes the bible as sacrosanct. The treatment you are referring to is part of the Arabic culture (predating the Koran) and no more due to the Koran than Christian subjugation of women is due to the bible; it is the "Holy" men that are misogynist.
If anything, Muhammad was an early feminist: "Muhammad did his own household chores and helped with housework, such as preparing food, sewing clothes and repairing shoes. He is also said to have had accustomed his wives to dialogue; he listened to their advice, and the wives debated and even argued with him." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad#Household)
2) As to gays, there no difference between what fundamentalist Muslims, Christians, or Jews claim. One could easily "Christian" and "priest" or "pastor" in your Willamette Week quote. The fact of the matter is there really very little to back up their claims but what their leaders claim their god says.
Companies such as Intel, and the people they employee, are intelligent enough to realize the importance of a clean environment, an excellent public education system, and a quality infrastructure (including digital) and are willing to pay for our government to provide for these common goods. An intelligent person realizes it's not about how much does it cost, but what am I getting for the price and understands the benefits and paybacks of investing in the world we have on loan from our children.
Intel could have paid less taxes in other states but the quality of life (the ability to attract and keep quality personnel) is just as important as tax rates, utilities costs, etc.
Because we a have little premise in our legal system that's states that one is innocent until proven guilty.
And, "proven guilty" means by a jury of one's peers rather than newspaper articles and those that comment on the articles.
This recovery may be anemic for people like you and me but the top 10%, and especially the top 1%, are making out like bandits accumulating an ever greater percentage of the available wealth.. According to the data sets from 2007 (it's gotten worse since this data was compiled) the top 1% now controls 42% of the financial wealth with the next 4% controlling another 27% of the wealth; essentially a fully 93% of the wealth in this nation is controlled by the top 10%. This is more than before the Great Recession and the greatest amount since the Great Depression.
One point, part of the reason for the discrepancies in wealth owned and wealth controlled is that for two thirds of people most of the wealth they own lies in their homes rather than stocks, bonds, and other means of wealth hoarding.
"In 2007, the average household in the top 1 percent had an income of $1.3 million, up $88,800 just from the prior year; this $88,800 gain is well above the total 2007 income of the average middle-income household ($55,300)."
--- http://www.cbpp.org/files/6-25-10inc.pdf
"However, after the Great Recession which started in 2007, the share of total wealth owned by the top 1% of the population grew from 34.6% to 37.1%, and that owned by the top 20% of Americans grew from 85% to 87.7%. The Great Recession also caused a drop of 36.1% in median household wealth but a drop of only 11.1% for the top 1%, further widening the gap between the 1% and the 99%."

Here's another good analysis: http://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/wp_589.pdf
So what does the earnings of an environmental group have to do with anything? It's a non sequitor, completely irrelevant, and should make no difference to you as you don't pay his salary. As a supporter of Cascadia Wildlands, I end up paying his salary and have no complaints.
If you bothered to understand the issues managed forestation (along with global warming) created the fire danger you allude to. As a simplified explanation by managing the forest to maximize the profits of the logging companies we put out fires thereby allowing the excess build up of material which is a big part of the reason for the type of fires we see today.

If we want the price to drop we need to get rid of speculators who add over $23 to the price of a barrel of crude: http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertlenzner/2012/02/27/speculation-in-crude-oil-adds-23-39-to-the-price-per-barrel/
Actually it had to do with the simple fact that there was not enough lumber, specifically old growth, left to keep everybody logging that was logging.

As lululemon athletica grows throughout the globe, we strive to maintain our personal and professional focus on living healthy, balanced lifestyles. Under the leadership of our Compliance and Sourcing team, evaluation and selection criteria has been established to ensure that we are partnering with individuals and other companies who share our core values and take personal responsibility and pride in their work environments.
These standards, based on international industry recognized principles, are outlined in the lululemon athletica workplace code of conduct (PDF - 503KB). We refer to these standards as our "non negotiables":
Each of our manufacturing partners commits in writing to upholding this code of conduct. Our partners also prominently display the code of conduct in their factories as a reminder to everyone of the safe and healthy environment they will provide. If the terms in our code of conduct are not met, actions are immediately taken. You can read more about these steps in our factories.
While the code of conduct speaks to our product factory partners, it is also a tool for the actions of all lululemon educators and support centre employees. The ethical guidelines in the code speak to how we select any other business partner, and also to how we ourselves perform in the global community.

KITCHENER — A 19-storey building with commercial outlets on the main floor, condominiums above and a parking garage tucked inside the building is slated for the corner of King and Victoria streets.
Momentum Developments is releasing more details of its plans for the gateway intersection at the west end of downtown Kitchener as it prepares for a public meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. in the Conestoga Room at City Hall.
After buying the property last year, the Waterloo-based developer and city officials began negotiating details around the design and size of the building.
"If you announce something and don't do anything, you truly lose that momentum and the enthusiasm on the sales side, too," Brian Prudham of Momentum Developments, said.
The building is called One Victoria Condominiums and is designed to attract and support pedestrians with a series of commercial spaces fronting onto the sidewalks of King and Victoria streets.
Above those commercial outlets will be residential units with balconies on the second, third and fourth floors overlooking the sidewalks and streets of both Victoria and King. Residents will be able to easily see what's happening on the sidewalks and streets around them.
The parking will be underground. More parking will be provided in a garage that is tucked inside the building. The commercial spaces and residential units will between the sidewalks and the parking garage inside.
"A lot of thought went into it," Prudham said.
That's important because a parking garage at street level would kill any chance an interesting and lively pedestrian environment. The building will be kitty corner to the Region of Waterloo's central transit station and the area will have a lot more people walking around it in a few years.
"We have tweaked it a few times now to make sure we get the right look and feel," Prudham said. "It's an important corner so we wanted to make sure it is right."
At 19 floors, One Victoria will not break any records for residential buildings in the central part of the city. Residential buildings with similar heights are found on Church Street and Queen Street North.
"We are excited about it," Prudham said. "We think we are going to get some positive reaction."
One Victoria Condominiums is the third large, private-sector investment in that part of the downtown, and it will not be the last, Rick Haldenby, the director of the University of Waterloo school of architecture, said.
Haldenby believes the light rail transit lines that will be coming to downtown Kitchener will spur redevelopment of all the surface-parking lots that now dominate that part of the neighbourhood during the next 10 years.
Expect high-density, mixed-use buildings to be constructed on lots that are now litter-strewn, windswept expanses of asphalt after 5 p.m. and on weekends.
"Core areas are going to become more intense," Haldenby said.
Provincial legislation that aims to slow urban sprawl, a cohort of people who want to live and work downtown and the coming of light rail transit will ensure the redevelopment happens, Haldenby said.
"All of these things are adding up to suggest that the downtown cores will be more densely developed for both residential and office-commercial-retail," Haldenby said.
The successful redevelopment of the former Lang tannery at Charles and Victoria streets and the stunning conversion of the old factories along Breithaupt Street pointed the west end of downtown in a new direction, he said.
Haldenby likes the idea of hiding the parking below and within the building.
"That is a well-defined strategy, it was done years ago in Toronto and Vancouver," Haldenby said. "As long as the street faces are animated and occupied, it is probably OK."
The development has the support of Coun. Frank Etherington, who represents that part of the downtown.
"From where I sit, it is a fabulous addition to Ward 9 and the west end of the downtown," Etherington said. "I am sure it will provide housing for people working at the Tannery, which is nearby and for other people who want to walk or bike to work in the core."
Momentum Developments is doing The Red Condominium at the corner at King Street South and Allen Street in Waterloo — just across the street from the Bauer Lofts. That building should be ready in June.
Commenting is closed.

At 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, police officers from the Police Benevolent Association, local 361, and concerned residents met at West New York's commisioners meeting to discuss their continued frustrations with mayor Silverio "Sal" Vega and the Town Council. Vega has threatened layoffs in order to keep taxes stable.
Hundreds of men and women applauded comments given by supporters of the PBA while some shouted against mayor Vega's comments and responses. Vega repeated many times, "I'm sure that we will reach an agreement," and "All options are on the table." However, no specifics were given to questions posed by supporters of police officers.
At one point during the meeting, a supporter pointed to Commisioner Alberto Rodriguez and asked who he was and suggested his layoff. Vega responded in a stern voice toward the supporter, reminding him that Rodriguez was an official elected by the public.
Yesterday, Vega said his primary goal is to put the taxpayers first with hopes to prevent police layoffs. Both sides have until July 31 to come to an agreement.

Application Deployment Automation and F5 BIG-IP Load Balancing
Load balancers form an integral part of data center Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) responsible for ensuring high availability, continuity and scalability of custom applications. For IT operations and DevOps teams, guaranteeing application high availability extends all the way to application production and includes the updating and maintenance of data center applications "in mid flight" - releasing features and patches into production servers without interrupting user experience or ongoing application delivery.
"Pushing" application release deployments into production typically involves removing servers from the load balancer pool, updating application components, checking that the new features and updates are working, and then adding the servers back into the pool. During the application release service window, disabled servers are unavailable, reducing the number of servers in the load balancing pool, thereby heightening the risk to high availability. Thus it is critical that IT operations expedite the full release cycle as quickly as possible, reducing the service window to a minimum and mitigating any negative effect on load balancing schemes, user experience and service continuity.
Nolio ASAP provides out-of-the-box actions for controlling application release across all F5's BIG-IP load balanced servers, providing simple automated processes for pulling servers out of the pool for application updates, and placing servers back in the pool once new application versions are installed, tested and verified.
Nolio ASAP actions include:
- Add member to pool
- Create pool
- Delete pool
- Disable member
- Enable member
- List all pool members
- List all pools
- Remove member from pool
Interaction with F5 BIG-IP via the Nolio ASAP Actions is as simple as passing a few parameters. Without any specific API or scripting knowledge, Nolio operators can quickly and easily build domain specific actions and workflows for use in any custom application release process.
Using Nolio ASAP to control the members of a F5 BIG-IP load balancer provides a seamless, holistic, and automated application deployment process, resulting in up to 70% reduction in forced downtime and significantly decreasing the lack of high availability. In the example release processes below, we have included the responsibility of multiple disciplinarians; network (F5), DBA, and release engineer, into a single release process, eliminating timely gaps and costly miscommunications that are more than too common in complex release deployments.

Special consideration is also needed when using the classification system. It may underestimate or overestimate health risks in specific groups such as: young adults who have not reached full growth, adults who naturally have a very lean body build, highly muscular adults, adults over 65 years of age, and certain ethnic and racial groups. More information is provided in the full report Nutrition and Healthy Eating.
The BMI (weight (kg)/height(m)2) is not a direct measure of body fat but it is the most widely investigated and most useful indicator, to date, of health risk associated with under and overweight.
View Table: Health Risk Classification According to Body Mass Index (BMI)
Overweight and obesity
* May indicate an eating disorder or other underlying illness.
To determine WC, the measurer should stand beside the individual. WC is measured at the part of the torso located midway between the lowest rib and the iliac crest (top of pelvic bone). The tape should fit without compressing any underlying soft tissues.

Body Mass Index (BMI) Nomogram
For a quick determination of BMI (kg/m2), use a straightedge to help locate the point on the chart where height (in or cm) and weight (lb or kg) intersect. Read the number on the dashed line closest to this point. For example, an individual who weighs 69 kg and is 173 cm tall has a BMI of approximately 23.
Refer to the table below to identify the level of health risk associated with a particular BMI.
BMI can also be calculated using this formula

Pssst…. Money can't buy you love or...homegrown tomatoes
"Understandably so, there is nothing so sad as those pale, pathetic tomato wannabes that overrun the produce sections during the off season...which is most of the year. Consequently, during tomato season, people go nuts for the vine ripened, blood red beauties that we have the good fortune to have in Oklahoma."
It's a somewhat funny but realistic blog entry which will make even the least green thumbed reader smile…

Pssst…. Municipal water for gardening is expensive
Rain Barrels are perfect if you live in an area that can suffer from long periods of drought. You do not know when the water supply will be back to normal again and you cannot water your lawn or flowers outside due to your areas ordinances. When you have Rain Barrels you will have water that is stored just for this reason. Keep your grass, plants, flowers, etc., healthy and watered with the fresh rainwater that is stored in your Rain Barrels.
Todays rain barrels will last for years as they are made of resin. Resin is resistant to mold, mildew, rust and rot. These rain barrels will not fade from the sun due to the UV resistant resin.

Pssst.... It's called the nap.
The term "nap" as it applies to fabric generally refers to the direction in which the open ends of the fibers naturally lie, such as in a velvet piece. Normally, the fabric nap would be in the down direction. However, to achieve a darker, richer color, sometimes these fabrics are used with the nap in the up direction.

Pssst… I can smell your BFF, can you?
"As an in-home design consultant, I visit people's homes every single day. I would say that 75% of the homes I visit have pets. I don't have a problem with that, your pets that is. But the smell? Let's just say I prefer a home that has a fresher scent. Admittedly, pets are not the only culprit when it comes to disturbing scents, but that's the topic at the moment.
Beyond the initial offense, my concern for you as a pet owner is your health, your children's health, your guests, and your property value. You probably don't even know it exists anymore because you're so used to it."

Pssst.... Don't tell everyone about this bike ride
Why ride Arkansas? Because it's the place that everyone else is riding and not telling you about. It's a place Northern colleges send their cycling teams to train because the roads and weather are perfect in the late winter and early spring. It's a place where in the dead of winter when many mountain bikers stare longingly at their bikes hanging in the garage, Arkansans are riding sweet ridge-lines with unlimited views, no studded tires, no heavy coats, no worries.

Pssst.... La Belle Brocante
Here's an interesting site... but I can't figure out what the site is actually about. The blog style site displays various artistic and antiques which are nice to look at. Perhaps you can post what you think here for me.
TO me it seems like an ongoing display of rare artifacts, pictures and odd historical memorabilia. The site is very nicely detailed and drew my interest, but mostly because of the odd nature of the items and the lack of stated purpose.
Good luck and love to hear your feedback.

Pssst.... Be aware if you get a parking ticket
The crushing feeling of finding a ticket attached to the windshield of your car is enough to ruin any New Yorker's New Year.
But there are ways to fight it, if you're armed with the right information. While certain parking and meter regulations are suspended Sunday and Monday for the holiday, they'll resume Tuesday.
Larry Berezin, chief operating officer of New York Parking Ticket LLC, believes city parking spots are scarcer than ever and tickets are up this time of year because of all the tourists in town for winter break.
"Visitors to my website have increased significantly over the last three weeks," said Berezin, a lawyer whose company offers advice on fighting such summonses.

Pssst…. Hey, it's Diana Gabaldon here, at the Ball!
Diana Gabaldon is the author of the New York Times #1 best selling, international award-winning OUTLANDER series (including the Lord John Grey novels), described by Salon magazine as "the smartest historical sci-fi adventure-romance story ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting "Scrooge McDuck" comics."
Here's what Diana has to say about her newly released novel: I'm thrilled by the advent of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER. I never like to do things I've already done, and I haven't here; SCOTTISH PRISONER is a hybrid novel–something between the "Big" books of the OUTLANDER series and the shorter Lord John ones. It's set in 1760, and is an adventure/crime/historical novel (with occasional sex and more frequent violence), featuring Jamie Fraser and Lord John in equal measure. If you'd like a brief preview, the first 19 pages are available on Scribd, here:....
Best of all, Diana will be giving a free copy of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER to a lucky Debutante Ball reader. The contest is open to everyone. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment.

Gimp is a flat decorative trim or braid that conceals upholstery fastening points, such as staples or tacks, and it was almost never the trim chosen by mid-century designers. Instead, they favored less fussy piping, double welt cord or no trim at all.

Next year will see the 75th anniversary of one of the all-time great films, The Wizard of Oz. Few films have had the impact or importance. When Dorothy opened up her Kansas farmhouse door to the world of Oz, she might have well have opened up the world of cinema to color films in a big way. The Wizard of Oz also told a fantasy story, even a children's story, in a darker and much more intricate way than almost any film prior.
There have been several follow-ups or spin-offs to L. Frank Baum's world, most notably Sidney Lumet's musical The Wiz and the incredibly dark unofficial sequel, Disney's Return to Oz. No film yet has had quite the spectacle, cast, or pedigree behind a Wizard of Oz follow-up as Oz: The Great and Powerful has. Not only is Disney basically banking on this being their next Alice in Wonderland, but the film is by Evil Dead and Spider-Man franchise director Sam Raimi, and features a huge cast that includes Mila Kunis, Zach Braff, and former Oscar nominees James Franco, Michelle Williams and former winner Rachel Weisz.
After a rough few years for Disney, with both animation projects and live-action films not going as planned, Disney has quite a lot riding on Oz: The Great and Powerful, their first live-action film since John Carter bombed. Before checking out Disney's latest attempt at live-action greatness, and the prequel to one of cinema's most famous stories, maybe check out some of these under-ranked films from the stars of Oz: The Great and Powerful.
It's been an interesting road for Gangster Squad getting to theaters. Shot and finished in 2011, the film was scheduled for release in September 2012. However after the Aurora shooting last year, Gangster Squad was pushed to early 2013 in order to edit a scene in which a shooting occurred in a movie theater. Now Gangster Squad is finally coming out as one of the first big releases of the new year. Gangster Squad is the first drama from director Ruben Fleischer, who previously helmed the comedies Zombieland and 30 Minutes or Less. Before you go see Fleischer experiment in new genres this weekend, check out some of these under-ranked films from the stars of Gangster Squad.
Believe it or not, this summer has already brought us three movies based on comics or graphic novels. Some have done quite well for their franchises (Thor, X-Men: First Class) while others haven't been so lucky (Priest). This weekend brings about the fourth of these films, Green Lantern, which is DC Comics first summer film since last year's train wreck Jonah Hex. With new films in the Superman and Batman franchises on the way, Green Lantern is DC's best bet for a hit until those other superhero monstrosities are released. But before you check out the newest superhero film of this summer, check out some of these under ranked films from the stars of Green Lantern.
This weekend, the first of many upcoming superhero reboots will be released. Leading the pack before the rumored Fantastic Four restart and next summer's The Amazing Spider-Man is X-Men: First Class, director Matthew Vaughn's tale of the beginning of Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in the 60s and the friendship between Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, who will become Magneto. Vaughn has cast this new film in the X-Men franchise with some of the most talented actors of today. So before seeing his newest film, check out some of the under-ranked films from the stars of X-Men: First Class.

sidenote boxes in blog posts
lab.arc90 has developed a neat little sidenote tool.
Basically if you want to go off on a tangent or explain something in your blog post, instead of doing it within the body text you can write it in a little box that lives in the body of your post…you can even insert images in the box. This way your little rant is kept separate from your post, now the user can decide to go off on the tangent by reading the sidenote box.
Another idea explained in an old post of mine is related to having a mouse over or expanding box in your post that reveals a list of links. Instead of writing…"see here and here and here"…you could have a sidenote.
Although for this purpose an expanding box would be even better…see 3spots on how to do this.
Here's an example of a sidenote.

Hey, Recently I watched a video in which Adam (Seananners from Youtube) mentioned that his setup was a PC for the gaming and a Mac Pro for recording it all. I was wondering if I could do the same thing with an Dell Vostro 3700 laptop for the gaming and an early 2009 model 24 Inch iMac for the recording. I'm guessing Adam uses a special piece of hardware in his Mac Pro for this but could my iMac be capable to do the same thing? If I can't do this with my iMac, is there a device that can record HDMI or VGA output (HDMI preferred)? Let's say for around €50 ($65~$75). I can stretch my budget to €100 ($130~$150) but I'd prefer the cheapest way (as long as it gives me the quality I want). Fraps works fine but it takes away a lot of system resources. Since my laptop's screen resolution is 1600x900 (NVidia GT 330M graphics card) I am focusing on 720P (1280x720) just to make sure that I don't stretch the video. I might be able to record in 1080P since we have an HD tv but that would mean that I would have to split the cable (which could possibly take away quality). asked Aug 02 '11 at 09:40 nitrocrime |
Camtasia Studio is a good option. answered Aug 02 '11 at 09:54 HerpDerp That's exactly what I am trying to avoid. If my PC has to run the game and record on the same hardware it takes away a lot of power. By recording it externally you get rid of this problem. Plus Camtasia Studio is no where near as powerful as Fraps.
(Aug 02 '11 at 10:19)
Maybe if you have the higher end graphics card configuration, bur I don't think thats possible. But I don't do a lot of that kind of stuff answered Aug 02 '11 at 10:03 Pizzscn |
There most certainly exist devices that can record the signals from an HDMI or DVI cable, I've seen them being used before. But I have no idea where you can them, you could try asking Seananners on utube for advice. answered Aug 02 '11 at 10:11 Yarvaxea 1
"But I have no idea where you can them" & "utube", Please take care of your grammar. I know what you are saying but it's complicated to read. Plus Seananners get hundreds of messages per day which he doesn't read (or at least not all of them).

Once released, Aaron and his mother Elizabeth will reside near the hospital for the next three months as doctors continue to monitor his progress.
"Aaron is doing so well," Elizabeth said in an e-mail to The Press this week. "He took a short walk (Sunday), just a tiny one from his bed to the wheelchair and down the hallway. He's doing great."
Aaron's father, Mark, and brothers, Nicholas and Noah, returned to Brentwood this week, and the boys have started back to school.
"Mark will be driving down with the boys on the weekends and they'll have our family and the boy's school and church there to help them," said Elizabeth. "Our community has been so supportive. We are blessed to not have had to go through this alone."
Some of those supporters will be participating in the Golden Gate Bridge Donate Life Walk this Saturday, Aug. 28. The 3.2 mile walk back and forth across the Golden Gate Bridge is sponsored by Organ-ize The Planet and the California Transplant Donor Network, and is dedicated to Aaron. The walk begins at 11 a.m. For more information on the walk or on organ donation, visit www.organizetheplanet.com.

Eubank were married and established a home in the Amber community where she taught school for 10 years. Mary Jane was a teacher in the Rush Springs schools from 1956 to 1974. She ended her career in education as a librarian at Tuttle High School, retiring in 1983. She was an inspiration and a motivator for countless students throughout her teaching career.

Paolo desperate to hang onto his loans (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)
Get involved! Send photos, video, news & views. Text WILTS GAZETTE to 80360 or email us
SWINDON TOWN: Paolo desperate to hang onto his loans
6:00am Friday 4th January 2013 in Sport By Sam Morshead
PAOLO Di Canio is desperate to hang onto his soon to be departing loan players, saying keeping the trio of Danny Hollands, Chris Martin and John Bostock would make him the "happiest manager in the world".
Hollands and Martin will see their current deals in Wiltshire expire after tomorrow's League One clash with Carlisle at the County Ground, while Bostock is set to follow the pair out of SN1 two days later.
With cash tight at the Robins, Di Canio is working on freeing up funds from elsewhere to allow him to keep all three men rather than run the risk of losing them back to their parent clubs.
He said: "We are working hard.
"It would be fantastic to keep them but we will work hard to keep them and announce it in the next few days.
"The first step is to keep them, even if it happens in a week's time, but I would like to see this situation on Monday.
"If it happens on Friday then for five days they will go somewhere before a key game of the season.
"We have to find a way to keep them.
"We are working hard.
"You know the situation, we can't count at the moment on some help. We are trying everything to find the pounds to keep them.
"We can't think like last year. I want to do this as soon as I can.
"I have to think of the next game against Carlisle but I also have to think about the rest of the season.
"If we don't take the chances we have to keep the players we've got then it's more dangerous than having a bad game.
"I would sign now, although obviously I want to win, if they said you will lose Saturday and get the players. We can do both.
"Until the day they sign until the end of the season you don't know what will happen.
"I have to be realistic and take it step by step.
"It would be fantastic to keep those players.
"It would make me completely happy and it would be a dream to have those three players plus another one that can join us.
"If they tell me I have enough money to keep those three I would jump at that and I'd be the most happy manager in the world.
In an ideal world, Di Canio would like to sign on at least one more player on top of Hollands, Martin, Bostock and the already resigned Ward.
Forest Green Rovers striker James Norwood was reported as being a Town target yesterday, while the club are also believed to still be interested in Sheffield Wednesday's Gary Madine.
"It would be perfect if we could bring in not even two but one extra player.
"But to be honest now I can't hope," said Di Canio.
8:35am Fri 4 Jan 13
Given the number of games between now and the end of the season we can't rely on just 3 central midfielders especially to help with variation in tactics but as Ferry works so hard he'll need the odd game out and along with injuries and potential suspensions cover will be essential.
the wizard
10:49am Fri 4 Jan 13
We have Ward, if we can at least keep Hollands then I'm a happy chappy. Not overly worried about the other two as the purse strings are now so tight. best to leave a few bob in the pot in case we need an emergency loan later in the season to cover injuries etc.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, wearing a dark suit possibly made of sackcloth, didn't hold back when discussing the derivative trades that led to massive losses for his company.
"We made a stupid error," he said before a lunchtime audience at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington on Wednesday. "We screwed up."
Then he got more specific: "I should have caught it ... I didn't."
The company estimates it lost $5.8 billion, thanks to a London-based trader, nicknamed the "London whale," who took large, risky positions in credit derivatives.
Originally published on Tue October 2, 2012 6:42 am
New York's attorney general has sued JPMorgan Chase, alleging that a unit now owned by the banking giant fraudulently sold mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis.
The civil lawsuit filed Monday by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is the first to be brought by the RMBS Working Group – the task force formed by President Obama in January to pursue alleged wrongdoing at the time of the financial crisis.
Originally published on Tue August 7, 2012 3:43 pm
Most people know the traditional banking model, if only from George Bailey in It's A Wonderful Life.
In simplified form: A bank takes deposits from savers, and pays them a low interest rate. Then it lends that money out to borrowers at a higher interest rate. The bank's profits come from the difference between the rates.
Along with saying, again, that his bank "let a lot of people down" when it lost more than $2 billion, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon added this prediction during his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee this morning:
"It's likely that there will be clawbacks."

There are many different options available to help finance your solar system:
Tax credits
Get the latest information on the new temporary administrative rules regarding State tax credits. Check with your tax consultant to determine if you qualify to receive federal or state tax credits.
Consider Financing Options
Talk to your financial institutions about financing options. Many solar companies will help customers find financing options, as well. Common financing options include:
Many banks in Hawaii, as well as contractors, have programs that can help you finance your solar system, either a solar water heating system or a solar electric (PV) system. Finance-to-own agreements typically come in the form of equity-based loans or unsecured loans. Equity-based loans may take longer to obtain approval but allow the homeowner a larger amount of potential financing. Equity-based loans offer amounts up to the amount of equity available on the property. Unsecured loans are typically based on the credit rating of the homeowner. Unsecured loans usually have lower loan availabilities (up to $50,000), but offer the homeowner great terms such as 0% interest and $0 payments for a specified period. The system cost usually determines which financing option would best suit a homeowner's situation.
Leasing is a another way to finance a solar PV system for homeowners or businesses looking for a low-cost solution to their electric bills. Leasing arrangements are often confused with Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), but there are many differences between the two. Leased PV systems can be sized to fully offset a homeowner's current electric bill and generally have generation guarantees. If the system does not perform as specified, the lessor will cover the agreed upon costs. In general, lease agreements tend to have agreed upon monthly payments. The homeowner is still required to pay the utility any interconnection fee and for any energy used that is not generated by the leased PV system. Depending on the actual lease agreement terms, appropriate sizing of the PV system may be important so that the lessee does not end up paying for more electricity than their actual electricity load.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are where the PV system is owned by a financing party such as a PV development company, and the homeowner signs a contract with the PV financier to buy the PV electricity at an agreed-upon price per kilowatt-hour. Often the price may escalate after a set number of years. PPAs may be an attractive option for homeowners who don't have the cash to buy the PV system themselves and who don't want to worry about ongoing maintenance of the PV system, since this is the responsibility of the PV financier. The homeowner pays for all of the electricity that is produced by the PV system. As such, it is important that the PV system not be sized greater than needed to meet the customer's needs.
Additional Considerations
Talk to your accountant to understand which option provides the best financial benefit for you.
Hawaiian Electric Programs:
Hawaiian Electric provides many different programs that allow you to produce power for your own use or to sell back to the utility. This includes systems such as solar (photovoltaic), wind, biomass, hydro, fuel-cell or synthetic natural gas. For more information, visit Generating Your Own Power or go to:

The Central Securities Deposit (CSD) is a computerised system designed to administrate the securities issued or managed by the Banco de la República (The Central Bank of Colombia), by means of electronic records. Its objectives are to eliminate the risks of handling physical paper, to speed up transactions in the Secondary Market, and to facilitate the payment of principal and/or interest coupons. Dematerialized securities of the same type, with the same characteristics, financial conditions, and issue and maturity dates, are fungible. CSD operates under the following parameters:
Decree 436 of February 19, 1990, created the Banco de la República's Central Securities Deposit (CSD) and assigned its functions. Article 21 of Law 31 of December 29th 1992, and Decree 2520 of December 14th 1993, stated that Banco de la Republica would manage a Securities Deposit, to hold securities issued by Banco de la República, as well as securities other than stocks, that are substitute or mandatory investments for corporations that are supervised or inspected by the Banking Superintendence. Issuers can hold securities in the CSD by signing a contract of "Securities Under Administration". By means of this contract, the CSD will be responsible for the custody, administration and registration of any transfers of ownership, as well as taxes on deposited securities.
