GOOD JOBPros: EXCELLANT- easy to put together Cons: has 3 internal usb plugs wish they had 4 Other Thoughts: kinda wish it had 4 usb internal usb plugs comes with 3 Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice WS boardPros: Nice Board, EZ bios, and SSD caching works well. Solid built board in stalled a 3770k, 16gb memory and another build completed with no headaches. Cons: 0, with the exception of the driver disk and manual missing, but that is located on the ASUS website. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Nice and stable motherboard. Approachable Bios. On-board power button for testing outside of case. Cons: Watch out for virtualizing; I setup a VM and attempted to run it without enabling VTx in BIOS and the computer rebooted without warning and without gracefully shutting down the host OS (Linux). Other Thoughts: Great board; definitely worth the money. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Very fast, runs everything perfectly on my new setup. The bios looks absolutely fantastic and is very user friendly. Cons: I'm not sure if only I had this problem. The post message screen only blinks for a single frame, which made setting up my raid array a huge hassle. I could find no setting which would slow this down on purpose. I tried everything, and nothing seemed to work, including updating the bios, switching my keyboard into a 3.0 slot, taking it out of fast boot, and slowing down my processor. Other Thoughts: If the only con that I will have to deal with is blazing fast speed, although extremely frustrating while it was happening, I think its still worthy of 5 eggs. I definitely gave up after 2 and a half hours, a definite thanks to a couple friends that convinced me to keep trying. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: I am running this board with the 3770k oc to 4.7 . running it 24/7 for 5 weeks now and it is stable and runs amazing, I am also running the h100 corsair to keep it cool .. The board is built well and still fits easy in a mid-atx case . I would recommend this board to anyone. I am also running a evga gtx 670 and the graphic run smooth with a 3d mark 11' score of 9652 with the card having a small oc also, and I can convert movies at an avg speed of 500-600 fps. The boards temps and its stabilty is fawless . Cons: non at this time. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Best WS motherboard!!Pros: 1. Server board workstation with server config for long lasting 24/7 computing or gaming and server quality as well (equalled to ROG mobo) Cons: Only con i have with this WS board is its a bit pricey but def worth it. Other Thoughts: I used to have this config.... 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Finally I can get x16 x16 with my two gtx560 ti`s on a 1155 socket. Cons: Can`t get the esata ports to recognize my drive. Waiting for response from Asus before I request a RMA. Maybe there is something I`m not doing in bios, which I highly doubt considering all drivers and the fact that this is probably my 20th build in my 15 years of building PC's. But hey, technology changes and I`m giving this baby the benefit of the doubt for now. Did you find this review helpful? |
It Plain WorksPros: ASUS P8Z77 WS LGA 1155 Intel Z77 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard has a new BIOS, make sure you update to it before connecting anything else etc. Cons: A little bit pricy, but all professional equipment is... 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

The West Hudson Department of the Marine Corps League played host to a group of 47 Marine recruits on May 12, the day before Mother's Day. This group of high school seniors from Bergen and Hudson Counties was organized by the local Marine recruiters as a family day which brought together their respective families for a cook out. What started out as a happy occasion generated into a rancorous shouting match between the recruits, each claiming that his mom was the best cook and bringing along samples of their mom's culinary art. I think the jury is still out, the judges had to request seconds with deliberations going on well into the night. One thing is for sure, the recruits will have to wait till after "boot camp" before they get food like this again. Some of the food presentations included Polish stuffed cabbage, Columbian chicken with rice, Philippine lumpia, Peruvian civiches, Portuguese roll of broccoli, Italian meatballs, espanadas and patelon from the Dominican Republic, pasties de bacalhau, pernil with orange and pasties de-north (the last three from Portugal). There were other entries but the names printed on the entry forms were seen blowing in the wind. Wind gusts are common to the heights of Kearny and that afternoon was no exception.
Gunnery Sergeant Juan Malfavon who arranged this get together for the recruits and their families is the NCOIC (NCO in Charge) for the Bergen/Hudson area. He, along with S.Sgt. Jimenez, Sgt. Matias and Sgt. Molit are one of the top Marine Corps recruiting teams in the state. That is saying a lot in that New Jersey is number one in the states sending recruits to Parris Island, the East Coast Recruit Training Depot of the U.S. Marine Corps. This number one figure is based on the number of recruits as a percentage of the population. These future Marines will go to Parris Island over the summer months on a staggered basis. No more than two or three from any one recruit district at a time. This was at the special request of the Marine drill instructors "union" who were unable to cope with 40 or more recruits from a single district at one time. Four drill instructors on one or two recruits is fair game, but 40 recruits on four drill instructors would leave them, the drill instructors, at a decided disadvantage.
Major Stephen J. Neary, the Commanding Officer for the New Jersey Recruit District, addressed the parents and complimented them on the job that they had done with their children. He indicated that they will soon enter a new phase of their learning process and that the Marine Corps had a proud history and many traditions which their children would become a part of and grow with their new relationships and commitments. He indicated that the Marine Corps would be their new family, not replacing but adding to their present family and traditions.
The recruits were each introduced, actually, they each introduced themselves, giving their hometown, high school and a little comment as to the future plans. After the introductions the West Hudson Marines conducted small tours of the Marine house which is full of Marine Corps memorabilia. All seemed to have enjoyed the afternoon and the variety of food with a general indication that the current families approved of the new family that their sons and daughters would soon become a part of. Incidently, the group of 47 recruits included five future female Marines. The recruits are from Jersey City, Bayonne, Kearny, Harrison, North Arlington, Rutherford, Lyndhurst, North Bergen, Emerson and Union City.

CD/LP/Track Review
Corpulent: Wolfwalk (2005)
Although jazz comprises no more than 4% of CD sales nationally, there exists a cornucopia of good to excellent jazz musiciansfemale vocalists, pianists, and saxophonists especially. You can put 44-year-old Baltimore native Gary Thomas in the "excellent" column. Having played with trumpeters Miles Davis and Wallace Roney, Thomas is currently the Director of Jazz Studies at the prestigious Peabody Conservatory of Music at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. At the time of the Wolfwalk recording in June of last year, Swedish-born bassist Joel Grip and drummer Devin Gray were both students there.
While he's respected among jazz musicians for his forward thinking, the public's awareness of Thomas sadly remains low. Wolfwalk will hopefully change that. The new trio date walks the line between modern mainstream and free jazz, tilting more towards the latter. The seven original compositions, which almost blend into one fifty-minute extended piece, are characterized by the dark, brooding, searching sound of Thomas' saxophone, coupled with the beefy, full bass of Grip and the gentle explosions of Gray. Listening closely to one another, the three take the music where their impulses dictatethe outer, yet still accessible realms of jazz music. Wolfwalk is cutting edge. True jazz fans will find this music enlightening.
Track Listing: Gryphus Medley; Slow Bluuesss; Who�s In Control; Free Piece; Ingen D�lig Kappa Att Axla; Used To Be (V+D); Vanishing Time.
Personnel: Devin Gray: drums; Joel Grip: bass; Gary Thomas: tenor saxophone.

text: It is that time again, when children in newly bought "school clothes" and backpacks clamber on to the school bus and head off to start another school year. Before they climb up the steps onto the bus, parents need to remind their kids of how to be safe while riding the bus and bus drivers need to be ready to keep them safe. Getting On And Off The Bus Board the bus one at a time. Children need to be patient and wait for the bus driver to give the ok for them to board. Once it is safe, each child should board one at a time. Carry loose items in a bag. Make sure children keep all their items in their bag or backpack. Stopping to pick up dropped items can be hazardous. If they do drop an item getting on or off the bus, they should ask the… Continue Reading

Local women's advocacy group Women Amplified celebrates its first birthday on International Women's Day, Friday, March 8, with a party to benefit Womenspace. In January, the nonprofit for domestic violence survivors announced that it would have to end its emergency walk-in counseling services due to nearly $4 million in funding cuts.
"We wanted to give back to them because they've been such a critical part of our community and very needed," Terra Williams of Women Amplified says.

Rep. Sara Gelser, D-Corvallis, is pushing for House Bill 2756, which would force school districts to get rid of free-standing, self-contained units — seclusion cells — but would not change Oregon laws that regulate non free-standing seclusion rooms.
Twelve-year-old Jared Harrison testified about his experiences being shut in a seclusion room at his 4J school before the Legislature's House Committee on Education in Salem on Feb. 22. "I think people have it in their minds that kids that are exposed to this kind of treatment are some kind of monsters," Jared's mother, Jennifer Harrison, says. "They are not thinking about a kid who can speak at length publicly."
We hear Divine Cupcake, the dessert restaurant, is cutting its retail store and cart sales but will continue to do catering and have its carts at events around the county. The retail shop at 11th and Chambers, across from Ring of Fire, will have its final day from 10 am to 8 pm Tuesday, March 5, on its third anniversary date, according to owner Thaddeus Moore. As usual on its anniversary, the store will be giving away free cupcakes, but this time selling off equipment and furnishings as well.
Passionate lectures were strewn throughout the UO campus in February, and they weren't solely from professors in classrooms. Panels and workshops were held at the Social Justice, Real Justice Conference, with speakers discussing everything from the history of racism in Eugene to activism in changing foreign policy (see story last week). Emotions were flying particularly high in the Alumni Center and the law building — as high as the drones being discussed hover over distant lands.
Eugene-based Beyond Toxics wants the city's public parks and public lands to go pesticide free, but the group says it's still having trouble finding out just what toxins are being sprayed in the city and what public money is being spent on them.

Thanks to what a local land use attorney calls "poorly written" land use code in Lane County, there's no end in sight for the gravel mining of Parvin Butte. The 600-foot butte continues to be quarried by Lost Creek Rock Products (LCRP); the Dexter and Lost Creek neighbors who protest the mining have lost some ground in a recent Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) decision. LUBA decided Feb. 6 that LCRP does not need to undergo a site review in its mining operation at Parvin Butte.
Fritz, an Australian shepherd mix and the beloved pet of John Beere and Cindy Corder, died on Jan. 20 while out for a walk at the Salmon River Fish Hatchery near Otis, Ore.

As winter turns to spring, the McKenzie River flows toward Eugene with impressive force. While powerful, the river is not invincible — in fact, snow-fed rivers with slow drainage systems like the McKenzie are more susceptible to the effects of climate change than other kinds of river systems, according to a new study out of OSU in Corvallis.

http://www.abc27.com/story/14389634/...-game-shootingRyan Martin, 29, is recovering from a bullet to the face that broke his jaw. First Deputy District Attorney Fran Chardo said Martin and 20-year-old Erica Clayburn were playing a game they had played in the past, but this time the gun was loaded.
"She would close her eyes with a pistol in her hand. He would go somewhere in the room, say 'gun,' and she would have to open her eyes and dry fire the pistol," Chardo said.
Martin and Clayburn were charged with reckless endangerment and conspiracy. Clayburn is also facing simple assault charges. Both were released pending a preliminary hearing next month.
"It is incredibly stupid, and stupidity is no defense to a criminal charge," Chardo said.
The shooting happened last month at Martin's mother's home in the 100 block of Areba Avenue, where he and Clayburn had been living. Martin's young nephews were not home at the time.
"I blame both of them for playing with guns and being stupid," said Martin's sister, April Tucci. "It's taken a huge toll on our mother. My children were definitely spared. Thank God they didn't have to witness it."
Martin's cousins were home next door. The 9- and 11-year-old were just on the other side of the duplex wall.
"This bullet could have passed through a wall and could have harmed, could have killed someone in the adjoining unit," Chardo said.

It could be that they have to switch out the generator from the electrical grid within a few ms. Typically, if the grid outside the plant is short-circuited. You can make a simple hardware solution but then you can't switch the power plant back on again. With a software solution you can switch in resistor banks and burn off the energy for a few ms until the grid is ok again.
That said: Having such systems running somekind of real-time Linux would be insane. Linux caries out too much code which can contain bugs. I would make it from scratch with either no OS at all or only the bare bones (i.e. basicly just a scheduler). Then I would make a simple protocol between this safety critical subsystem and systems running Linux to supervise it.
A realtime Linux is mostly usefull for cheap systems, where you both Linux's server/client capabilities and have a none-safety critical subsystem you need to service as well and you don't wont the extra cost of an extra CPU.
The question is how hard these real time requirements are. Very often it wont be that "hard" in the sense that the application can somewhat survive a missed deadline once in a while but it might be anoying to the user - like Xmms. For many, many applications it is like that: The models say that you have to do things of such and such rate; but in practise you can skip sample points once in a while with no critical problem.

Press Release – Gloucester Ski & Snowboard centre
Exciting plans are afoot for Gloucester Ski & Snowboard Centre. At the end of July 2012 the centre will be taken over by C.E.O of OpalTec, Mark Hamilton-Davies, who has big plans for the place.
These plans will be fully revealed at the grand reopening party due to happen on August 11th in order to coincide with a local summer series. There will be live music from various different acts at the event, along with pro BMX riders jumping onto the newly installed BigAirBag imported from the Netherlands. Entry will be free for all racers, but varied in cost (concessions will be made for younger children and students) for all other spectators.
One of the more extensive changes happening at the centre is the extension of the main recreational slope making it 250m in length. Mark also plans to install CCTV and fence off the top 250 metres of the newly extended slope to ensure safety and prevent any damage to the area. This will all to be ready for visitors in September when the centre will celebrate with another launch day. The decision to extend the slope has been met with much approval, C.E.O of Snowsport England Tim Fawke has said that he's very interested in this development: "It's fantastic news, we will be able to run some exciting competitions with these proposed developments and hopefully get more people in Gloucestershire giving snowsports a go!"
The main slope isn't the only area of the centre that will hosting a more exciting kind of competitive skiing. Mark has plans to turn the left hand side of the slope into a permanent big-air park, with the use of a BigAirBag. Mark has said this idea to fully separate the two slopes into different disciplines "will give every athlete the freedom and safety to really develop their skills and double the amount of visitors to the two slopes".
Mark's ambition is to turn the slope into a mini leisure dome, replicating the new trend for large and versatile snow domes, but outdoors and on Dendex, and as a racer himself he understands exactly what is needed to transform Gloucester Ski Centre into a haven for Alpine and Freestyle skiers and snowboarders.
Other developments will include a complete change to the rental stock, making it possible for any ski slope users to hire brand new equipment to learn on. After deciding which discipline is best for you there will also be a discount equipment shop in the centre where Mark says parents and athletes will be able to get all the equipment they need for the winter and summer seasons at amazing prices (online equipment company my-race.com will be providing the stock). There will also be a new café and bar as well as a children's party area on the first floor. More long-term goals for Gloucester Ski Slope include installing an Alpine roller coaster that will wind down in between to the two slopes. All this choice is bound to give every visitor to the new and improved Gloucester Ski Centre a summer of action filled with fun!
Jean White (Centre manager) and staff are all very excited about the future of the centre following the change of ownership. We are looking forward to working with the new owners to help improve the centre and restore it to its former glory. A fresh start is exactly what the centre needs, couple this alongside the great ideas that Mark & Co have, the centre has a bright successful future.
Gloucester Ski & Snowboard Centre, August 11th, Tickets: kids under 5yrs go free, £5 under 16, £10 for students & NUS card holders, £10 early bird, £15 2nd release, £20 general admission.
Gloucester Ski & Snowboard Centre will retain its name but trade under Gloucester Sport and Leisure Limited.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — It was the fourth road game in a row in which UNLV's players had to exit the floor through a sea of students rushing from the stands.
Anthony Marshall hung around for a bit.
After escaping from the mob following No. 17 UNLV's stunning 66-59 loss that was highlighted by a second half meltdown of seismic proportions, the UNLV junior guard took a seat on the scorer's table and forced himself to soak up the scene.
In those few moments, the same adjectives to describe what had just happened went through his head.
"Embarrassed, angry, disappointed," he said a little while later outside of the Rebels' locker room. "In the first half, we controlled the game. In the second half, they just played harder than us."
The wrenching road losses continue to pile up, new explanations are tough to find and about the only positive UNLV took with it from Moby Arena was that this was the last true road game it would have to play all season.
UNLV (24-7 overall, 8-5 Mountain West) finishes the road portion of its regular season with a 2-5 mark in road conference games and a 6-7 record in games played outside of Las Vegas.
In the process, the Rebels turned Saturday's regular season finale at home against Wyoming into mostly a sentimental affair, as any shot at even a piece of the league title or the top seed in the upcoming Mountain West tournament are gone.
While UNLV squandered a 16-point lead in the game's final 16 minutes, San Diego State easily pushed Boise State aside on the road, 66-53, and New Mexico stomped Air Force in Albuquerque, 86-56.
If the Aztecs can go to Fort Worth and knock off TCU on Saturday, they'll clinch at least a share of the league crown and the MWC tourney's top seed. If they lose and New Mexico can handle visiting Boise State, the title belongs solely to the Lobos.
But, chances are that talk of the Mountain West tournament won't dominate conversations around Las Vegas over the next few days.
Wednesday's loss in front of a fiery crowd of 8,371 in Fort Collins will sting for a while.
"We've certainly had some difficult losses this year, and this is absolutely right at the top," UNLV coach Dave Rice said. "I was so proud of the way we came out against a very good Colorado State, had our way in the first half, then in the second half we ran out of gas and they made us earn everything we got, and we didn't make them earn enough baskets."
UNLV played arguably its best road first half of the season, too, on both ends of the floor.
Behind hot shooting early from Oscar Bellfield and Chace Stanback, the Rebels built a 14-point lead with apparent ease, and even after a 10-0 Colorado State spurt made it a four-point game, UNLV buckled down and responded, taking a 41-26 edge into the half. It was all highlighted by Bellfield, who had maybe the finest half of his UNLV career, hitting four of five 3-point attempts and dishing out five assists with no turnovers in 19 minutes played.
UNLV even started the second half strong, leading 47-31 with 16:28 left to play.
And then ...
• The Rebels' offense went stale. They had trouble pushing the pace and working inside-out, and, in turn, shots started to miss as they were more forced than coming in rhythm. UNLV was 6-of-22 from the floor after the half, recorded only two assists and committed eight turnovers.
"They weren't on the attack quite as much as they were in the first half," CSU guard Wes Eikmeier said. "When they get those shots to fall early, they can open up the floor and the game really quickly. Part of that was we changed up our defensive scheme a little bit to make them more strictly of a half-court team (in the second half)."
• Colorado State, meanwhile, worked more efficiently in creating offense. The Rams got UNLV in foul trouble quickly, and hit 14 of 16 free throw tries in the second half. They were also 12-of-25 from the floor, with junior guard Dorian Green leading the way with several tough, key, momentum-swinging finishes inside.
• UNLV was out-rebounded 18-12 in the second half, and that charge was led by spark plug forward Pierce Hornung, who contributed two key stick-backs off of teammates' misses late in the game to keep the Rebels from coming back. Those went down as four of Colorado State's 13 second chance points in the second half alone.
• The Rebels' defense also was not nearly as effective in the second half in terms of trapping the ball in the backcourt. Green had plenty to do with that, as he found ways to slither out of every double-team UNLV threw at him, and that seemed to knock the defense off of its hinges more than a few times.
• UNLV's core pieces faded from the picture. After starting hot from the floor and showing some emotional fire, Chace Stanback scored two points in the second half off of 1-of-7 shooting. Bellfield scored only three of his 14 points after the break, and had no assists with one turnover in 19 second half minutes.
• Then there was Mike Moser, who is in his toughest funk of the season. He came off of the bench for the first time this season as punishment for missing a study hall meeting earlier in the week. After hitting his first shot and providing a spectacular behind-the-back assist to Justin Hawkins in the first half, he finished with a quiet five points and two rebounds before fouling out late. In his last four games, he is now 8-of-34 from the floor with 26 points and 26 rebounds to his credit — A trend that must change if UNLV hopes to find success in March.
"I really don't think we did the things (in the second half that) in the first half that got us a lead," Marshall said. "I really didn't think they had an answer for us inside. When we got inside, we had anything we wanted, whether it was a layup or dishing to somebody else cutting. The second half, I feel like we really relied on jumpshots, threes. While they were chipping away, we're shooting jump shots, bailing them out, not putting pressure on them on defense."
Added Rice: "I'm not angry at our guys. We've got to get better in a short period of time. More than (angry), I'm just disappointed."
Rice is now responsible for turning that disappointment into some form of motivation in time for Saturday's 7 p.m. tip against Wyoming, who knocked UNLV off back on Feb. 4 in Laramie, 68-66. With each road loss, no matter what anyone might say, the team's psyche is taking a heavy shot. Meanwhile, the Rebels' potential seeding for the NCAA tournament is also absorbing hits.
The frustration was apparent both on the faces and on the Twitter feeds of the UNLV players afterwards, with a couple of profanity-laced posts going up not long after the game ended.
But actions moving forward will speak far louder than tweets.
While the Rebels were left in shock, the Rams (18-10, 7-6) celebrated a marquee league win on their home floor for the third time this season. They finished the home portion of their schedule by going 14-1 at home, including a 7-0 mark in league play. In the process, they may have punched their ticket for the program's first NCAA tournament berth since 2003.
And while Marshall choked it all down, there was a harsh reality to face — Time to build up confidence heading into postseason play by winning road games has run out. The next time UNLV drops a game outside of Las Vegas, it will mean that the 2011-12 season has come to an end.
"I don't know, I just kind of took it in — I felt that feeling at TCU, it happened again tonight," he said. "That's something I'm going to remember. I just sat there to take it all in, try to use it as motivation like I do with everything else and not let it happen again."

Calling the Shots in Component PricingWith pricing for metals and ceramic materials on the rise and the inventory of semiconductor components growing, are we at the mercy of these trends when setting the prices we pay for electronic components? My answer to this is "Yes" as a community and "No" as individual companies. Companies are not helpless in influencing prices; the situation is very different from what we experience at the gas pumps when filling our SUVs or hybrids. Prices on some components may be going up, but there is such a wide price variation among suppliers that a prepared company should be able to achieve cost reduction or at least minimize any increase. In the 1970s, psychologist and tennis champion W. Timothy Gallwey wrote a book titled The Inner Game of Tennis, based on his training techniques. He would play a game with his tennis students called "bounce, hit." He would toss a tennis ball towards the student and have the student say "bounce" when he thought the ball would hit the ground and "strike" when he thought his tennis racquet would hit the ball -- not when it actually bounced or hit the racquet. With his method, it wasnt long before the body was following the mind. This is the first example of sports psychology using vision that I am aware of. Now elite athletes routinely visualize their end objectives. Visualizing end objectives can also be a powerful force in transforming business. Getting a mental image of a compelling, desired future state and believing that it can be achieved drives organizational progress. Industrial psychologists often use the "I have a dream speech" of Martin Luther King Jr. to illustrate the power of vision. Dr King's vision transformed society for the better. So what vision or objective is in the heads of commodity managers when they negotiate pricing? I believe it should be aggressive target pricing that they have faith can be achieved. Amazingly, I have seen aggressive target pricing, when shared with suppliers, leading to prices being cut in half. While this level is not the norm, target pricing drives cost reduction. How does one create this target pricing? Some companies pick a percentage cost reduction that they need. While better than nothing, it can leave a lot on the table. Other companies try to engineer a cost model of the supplier's product, apply some level of markup, and get a price. This works but requires extensive knowledge of the suppliers manufacturing process that is not available to all companies. It is also time consuming and expensive. A new approach we developed at FreeBenchmarking.com lets you determine target pricing for your most out-of-line components. The target price is calculated from the assessment of spending competitiveness by commodity using our proprietary tools and database. Targets are calculated as if the component price is reduced to the same competitive level as the overall commodity. This gives you a target price that is in line with what your company has proven to be capable of achieving on other similar components. This is target-pricing a commodity manager can believe in. I look forward to discussing this and other issues related to pricing during the EBN LiveChat scheduled for March 10. So now the question is: During price negotiations, are commodity managers standing at the gas pump, or armed with a compelling vision of target pricing? |

In the supply chain hierarchy of needs, certification assurance indicates the suppliers product will meet regulatory standards, perform as expected, and be available when you need it.
The problem of ensuring adequate security of supply parallels behavior motivation as expressed in Maslows hierarchy of needs.
We seem to have lost the ability to control our destiny. You work hard but fall farther behind. You cant count on much to be "as expected" in the future.
You'd be outraged to learn you paid 10% more on a car than you should have; some components buyers are paying double what they should.
Companies in these times often cut programs outright or use staffing tactics that hurt essential practices. It doesn't have to be that way.
