Next step down is the gtx 1050 ti at around £140 which is a pretty big step down. Because of the low value of the pound the sweet spot for GPU to price has crept up to over £200 rather than the £150 it used to be.
EDIT: You could go for the 4gb version of the RX 580 for £200.

Brief: Take Social Customer Service Beyond Your Own Walled Garden
The modern consumer uses social media to communicate with family, friends, as well as companies. In response, companies have increased their investment in social media as a customer support channel. Application development and delivery (AD&D) pros now have numerous tools at their disposal to help bring contact center processes to social customer care. But those tools only support the social channels directly controlled by brands. There are, however, thousands of other social communities in which customers congregate. This report will help prepare AD&D professionals for the day their companies offer customer service in social communities it does not own.

Are you ready for some football? Carrie Underwood is ready as well!
This year, the country star is readying a new theme video for Sunday Night Football!
Thanks to a new teaser posted on the Sunday Night Football Facebook page, fans of Underwood can get a sneak peek of the new theme and all of the action.
Much to the delight of country music fans, Underwood has been singing the Sunday Night Football theme for four years now.
Last year, "Oh, Sunday Night" replaced the traditional Sunday Night Football theme song, "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night."
"Oh, Sunday Night" is back for another year, but the tune will undergo a few changes.
The full video will debut on September 10 during the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants game.
Sunday Night Football on NBC
Go behind the scenes of the SNF open with Carrie Underwood!

Cher's newly-single son Chaz Bono is considering his options after choosing to go ahead with radical surgery.
Bono, who was born a girl, is in the final stages of a complete gender reassignment and the last part of his journey will come when surgeons give him a male phallus.
He reveals he could go all the way and have a donor organ, but he tells Rolling Stone magazine he is "leaning more toward a metoidioplasty".
Bono, who recently split from longtime girlfriend Jennifer Elia, explains, "It's a procedure that uses what you already have which has grown larger from the testosterone. You end up with a smaller phallus than with the phalloplasty, but it's fully functional, it gets erect, and the sensation is all there.
"To break it down, the surgery I want to have, I'd like to have the testicular implants and all of that, and I'd like to be able to urinate through it."
But Bono admits it is not a cheap procedure: "There's different ways to do the surgery, from real basic to more and more options. It's like a car. The doctor I want to use is in Belgrade. It's going to be a little cheaper there. Probably $25,000, maybe $45,000, I really don't know."

Politicized issue
It has been suggested that this article be merged with Politicization of science. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2018.
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A politicized issue or hot-button issue is a social, economic, theological, spiritual, scientific or legal issue which has become a political issue, as a result of deliberate action or otherwise, whereby people become politically active over that issue.
A contemporary example is abortion, an emotive and moral issue which has become a highly contentious legal and political issue in many countries. Terminology relating to such issues often takes the form of loaded language which contrasts with the pejorative terms used in reference to opponents. For example, those who think that abortion should be a legal medical option describe their views as pro-choice, and may label their opponents as "woman haters" or "anti-choice". Similarly, those opposed to legalized abortion describe their views as pro-life, and may label their opponents as "baby-killers" or "murderers".
Heavily politicized issues are often called "hot-button issues" because almost any position taken is sure to please one group of people and offend another. Politically active people and organizations will often employ a 'litmus test' to evaluate a candidate. For example, a candidate for political office who shares the same view on abortion as a political organization may receive their endorsement regardless of the candidate's views on other subjects.
Sometimes the term "politicized" itself becomes a negative label. A group holding one opinion on an issue will sometimes accuse their opposition of "politicizing the issue". The implication is that they are honestly dealing with the issue on the merits while the opposition is bringing the issue up purely for political gain.
Public choice economics teaches that any issue where any group has a substantial financial stake is likely to be politicized.
Other politicized issues include global warming, curing autism, separation of church and state, feminism, same-sex marriage, elimination of poverty, war, gun control, welfare, capital punishment, and embryonic stem cell research.
Party politicisation is a process whereby the environment ascends the political agenda to become electorally salient and the subject of party competition [1]

RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads
RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads are an exceptional addition to the already excellent BigFoot Random Orbital Polishing System, and extend the boundaries of what is possible in terms of paint correction using BigFoot machines. Unlike other microfibre pads, which typically comprise a layer of soft foam sandwiched between the fastening material and the microfibre facing, RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads are constructed using injection-moulded polyurethane, which gives them a firmer, more purposeful, feel. In use, this unique design translates into excellent cutting performance on all paint types, which in turn speeds the paint correction process up. Interestingly, the choice of microfibre facings is not only spot on in terms of cutting and finishing performance, but also in terms of how easy they are to clean; some microfibre pads clog very quickly, resulting in diminished performance, but this is not the case with the RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads. And, unlike their rivals, they remain easy to spur with a PB Utility Brush, which is a welcome benefit.
RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads are manufactured using a patented moulding process in which a polyurethane resin is injected directly into a bevelled mould delineated by the hook and loop fastening material and the microfibre fabric itself. As a result, the resin adheres directly to both materials to form a stable and secure bond without the use of adhesives. Once the moulding process is complete, each RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pad is then die-cut to produce evenly spaced spiral slots and a centering hole. The purpose of these slots is not only to form an efficient airflow pathway for effective heat dissipation, but also to lighten the weight of the pad and thus better balance it on the machine. Furthermore, the innovative spiral design also helps to ensure controlled and even spreading of the polishing compound on the paint surface. Two grades of RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads are available, which are designed (and colour coded) to perfectly complement two of the polishing compounds in the RUPES BigFoot Random Orbital Polishing System (Zephir Gloss and Keramik Gloss).
RUPES usage notes: (i) RUPES 150 mm BigFoot Microfibre Pads are heavier than their foam counterparts, necessitating that they be used in conjunction with a lighter RUPES BigFoot Backing Plate - 125 mm (Black) on the LHR 12E and LHR 15ES polishers (failure to adhere to this requirement will unbalance these machines, resulting in excessive vibration and premature wear). General usage notes: (i) always select the least aggressive pad you think you will need to achieve the desired result, and step up one grade at a time if more cut is required (ii) always ensure that you centre each pad properly on the backing plate (this can take several attempts to get right, but is vital if the machine is to remain perfectly balanced during use); (iii) always use an appropriate sized pad for the backing plate you are using (the pad should always protrude past the edge of the backing plate, never the other way around); (iv) always ensure that excess polish residue on the face of the pad is brushed off regularly during use using a PB Utility Brush (failure to follow this advice can lead to micromarring of the finish, so don't be lazy!); (v) after use, soak each pad in a bucket of Lake Country Snappy Clean Boost solution for 15 minutes and then rinse under fresh running water (using your fingertips to massage out any remaining polish residue) and allow to dry naturally, and; (vi) while not in use, store in a dry, dust-free environment (lidded plastic storage boxes are ideal in this respect).

recommend this hotel
We stayed at the W Vieques for 8 nights for our honeymoon. Overall, we had an excellent time and would recommend an extended stay at the resort. The food, drink, atmosphere, views, and beaches were all amazing.
After a few days of snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, laying out by the pools and beaches, we ventured off the retreat and rented a car to explore the island. We travelled to nearby Isabel, Esperanza, and the Wildlife refuge. We absolutely recommend doing this and seeing some of the sights.
Only a few 'cons' to our trip, which included hit or miss personal service (definitely more hit than miss, but on a few occasions service was incredibly slow). The GMs were awesome, and so were the wait staff at the hotel restaurant.
Mosquitos were a small problem, but ultimately not that big of a deal. Rooms were spacious and had a good view of the ocean (we stayed in an ocean front room).
We also enjoyed a couples massage, which was absolutely great and highly recommend.
All in all an excellent experience.

It's not a new idea, with other sites already offering a varying number of shirts at once that follow a similar theme. The week of this Once Upon a Tee review they were offering a collection of Joss Whedon themed shirts that included Firefly, Captain Hammer and Buffy designs. The previous week's shirts focused on The Legend of Zelda and were still available at a slightly elevated price. Once Upon a Tee boasts a creative name with a simple, effective design. They've made significant improvements to their site since launching, most noticeably in relation to site speed (it now runs seamlessly). In addition, they've simplified their "Rewards" system, offering users 5% cash back on every purchase in the form of "Rupee Rewards." Once Upon a Tee also currently offers rupees for referring a friend and for signing up for their newsletter. Having watched Once Upon a Tee evolve since their launch in 2013, it has become very clear that they are dedicated to becoming a flourishing limited edition t-shirt site. I like the idea of offering either single shirts or entire collections at a slightly discounted price. After all, there are times when you just can't get enough of your favorite movie, TV show, video game, etc, especially when the designs are that good. « Prev DealNext Deal » More Daily Deals:See All of Today's T-Shirt Deals Free Blue $13 Once Upon a Tee Jurassic Night $13 Once Upon a Tee Raptor Trainer $13 Once Upon a Tee Power Of The Gray $13 Once Upon a Tee Latest Tee Discoveries:See All New T-Shirt Discoveries Sometimes Alcohol is t… The Name Pavlov Rings… Three Horns Never Play… Heyyyyy Drunk T-Shirt SHIRTS WE LOVE All Daily Deal Sites Movies TV Gamer Costume Ts Seen On Screen Funny Horror Holiday Workout Ts Books Music Food Copyright © 2018 Feistees.com, CTF Media.

By Mat LeBlanc, Pro Deals Manager (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Having been a patroller for almost 20 years I have learned the many perks of being a member of the Canadian Ski Patrol. You get valuable training and friendships, and you get to help people, and all this while being outside on the mountain either skiing or snowboarding. We are a lucky bunch – and those only some of the benefits of being a member.
The access to so many pro deals because of membership to the CSP is an incredible advantage and privilege. The numerous companies offering us special pricing for a variety of top-of-the-line apparel, skis, snowboards, optics, and more is simply amazing. CSP members have access to more than 30 pro deals, and the list is growing.
Looking for apparel and technical clothing? The following companies have deals with the CSP:
Arc'teryx, Auclair, Avalanche, Helly Hansen, Ice Breaker, and Virus
If you are looking for skis and equipment, the list is even longer. Companies such as:
Elan, Head, K2, Raccoon, and now Tecnica/Blizzard/Nordica
For snowboards, we have a partnership with the industry leader:
Burton Snowboards
Maybe what you are looking for is optics, helmets, or some gear, we are covered:
Smith Optics, Julbo, Thule, or Traverse Rescue for packs or backpacks.
We also have new exciting deals with companies with new products like: Apex Ski Boot Systems
All these fantastic industry partners offer us the privilege of pro deal pricing, not because they need to but because they want to. They pride themselves on being partners with the Canadian Ski Patrol and for this we should be grateful and appreciate the access to all our pro deals. We should also remember to respect the deals as privileges, not to be abused.
Information on all our pro deals can be found on the members' portion of our national website, as well as on the NDS, where much of the detailed information can be found.
Thank you to the team that puts many hours into building and maintaining great partnerships: Michael Hewett, Aaron Poutanen, and Geoff Scotton.
For any questions please contact Mat Leblanc at email@example.com. Enjoy your new gear.

In this video from the American Masters film Ralph Ellison: An American Journey, scholars discuss conflicts between Ralph Ellison and the leaders of the Black Arts Movement. Ellison was often criticized for prioritizing aesthetics over politics, putting him at odds with a younger generation of Black artists who had lost faith in the integrationist ideals of an earlier era.

On Creativity
I feel like I have lost my writing gene.
I sit down to write and the words stumble over themselves instead of flowing the way I want them to.
I look at my life – in all its easygoing simplicity – and I wonder if I don't have enough of a story to tell. I read so many great pieces and the stories that fuel them: love and loss and intimacy. And right now, I don't really have those stories in me. I read sentences that are so beautifully composed, they stay with me all day. And right now, I don't think I have those sentences in me. I marvel at the stacks of published books at the store, the pages upon pages in my magazines, the endless world of blogs…
And I just want to look at pretty pictures of Kate Moss.
Creativity is a funny thing and when you have a public outlet such as this one, it becomes even more complicated. What is worth putting out there in the world and what isn't? What do your readers care about and how does it align with what you care about? Who are the people reading and how does that censor your story (hi mom!)? What does one do when their creative outlet is writing? And they are blocked.
I think you write.
I think you stumble over those words and take an hour to hit publish, second-guessing every sentence.
I think you forget about what others think and put it out there anyways.
You look for great stories in the every day, even if they are ordinary to everyone but you.
You practice, you stretch, you try once more.
And somehow, some way, you hope it will find you again.
Karsha permalinkJuly 27, 2014
I love reading everything your write. Even when it's when you're struggling to write. Keep writing!
July 27, 2014
Your writing is beautiful and it's perfectly acceptable if some days you'd rather look at Kate Moss than put pen to paper.
Keep up the great work 🙂
July 30, 2014
I struggle with this a lot. I started my blog as a way to express the creative part of myself. Though I work in marketing there is a lot of conforming to what the client wants…. it's nice to have a space where I can truly do whatever strikes my fancy. When I struggle on what to write about, I think about conversations I've had with friends recently or somewhere that I found inspiration, that usually helps strike a chord. Although it's ideal if someone other than my mom and husband read my blog, I try not to think too much on whether or not others find it entertaining. If it's something I'm interested in and passionate about, hopefully that comes across enough to capture the readers attention. Loving your blog by the way!
August 1, 2014
I love this post. I struggle with this a lot. I've always wanted to be a writer but most days when I look at my life, I stumble over the words. I struggle to make meaning out of what seems so mundane. I compare myself to others and I find myself coming up short. And for a while, this paralyzed me. Sometimes, it still paralyzes me. But I think you're write. I think you have to do it anyway because someone will come along and find solace and comfort in your words.

From Zidane to Cruyff, Ronaldo, Bale and Iniesta: Great Turns in GIFsJune 24, 2013
The best players possess a natural grace. There's a balletic quality to the way they move with the ball and a poise immune to the frightening pace of the game around them.
Lionel Messi has it. Cristiano Ronaldo has it. Neymar has it. Pele, Maradona, George Best, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Alfredo Di Stefano and other defining players of their era had it.
But while we are reminded most of their goals and slaloming runs, there is no clearer act to frame genius on the field than a mesmerising turn. In one movement, a great player states his case with such emphasis that we are left in no doubt they are operating at a higher state of football consciousness to those around them.
As we look at some of football great turns, let's start with Andres Iniesta's now-iconic "scoop."
Above is Iniesta in action for Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season. Here's another slick turn from the Spanish midfielder, which came against Real Madrid.
Next up, Zidane's famous 360-degree turn in all its glory. Zizou was playing for Madrid against former club Juventus when he pulled this one off.
From Zidane to fellow Galatico Ronaldo. This piece of ridiculousness was executed with Ronaldo on Portugal duty against the Netherlands at Euro 2012.
The Dutch link takes us to Dennis Bergkamp, whose pirouette turn against Newcastle for Arsenal ranks among the great Premier League goals.
What's so brilliant here is Bergkamp's spacial awareness and how he manages to direct the ball back into his own path.
Next up, Gareth Bale with his take on the Zidane 360. The Spurs winger pulled this off in a cup match against Leeds, and he executed the move at breakneck speed to add to its difficulty.
In the cliched words of a pundit, you just can't defend against that.
Back to the Dutch for a look at a turn so inventive it took the name of the man who perfected it. Johan Cruyff performed this iconic "Cruyff turn" at the 1974 World Cup against Sweden.
It's been copied many times since and remains a wonderfully effective way to fool a defender that you're going to pass, instead leaving him for dead as you spin away.
Just last season in the Premier League, Robin van Persie tried one for Manchester United (watch) and Luis Suarez pulled one off for Liverpool (watch).
Suarez gets an entry of his own right here. This backheel nutmeg he performed for Uruguay against Paraguay is outrageous.
Finally, we go to Chelsea's Eden Hazard for this piece on sorcery against Wales. Hazard was playing for Belgium and clearly in the mood to put on an exhibition.
All of these have something in common, in the sense that they elevate the player in question beyond all those around him. When a great turn is deployed, it feels like all bar the proponent are momentarily frozen in time.
The roulettes of Zidane were one of the many things that separated him from everybody else playing in his era.
I'm sure to have missed some, while plenty of others I failed to find decent GIFs for. Please suggest your great turns in the comments section below.

Kat Von D Wishes Jesse James Never Compared Her To Sandra Bullock! Read Her New Rant!
Jesse should take a few pointers from Kat. Then maybe people wouldn't think he's such a jerk!
Fresh off Jesse James' disgusting interview, in which he told Howard Stern that fiancé Kat Von D is better in bed than ex-wife Sandra Bullock, Kat is speaking out about her hubby's indiscretion — and surprisingly, she isn't 100 percent behind him! "To me, love is the most sacred thing you could share with someone, and it isn't up for discussion, or comparison," Kat wrote in a Facebook note May 6.
"Supporting Jesse doesn't require me agreeing with everything," she also wrote. "I can still be his biggest cheerleader, and be proud, by allowing him to do whatever HE feels he needs to do."
Kat feels that discussing private matters publicly "strips away what is truly sacred, and important in a relationship. Money, status, fame, sexual appeal, and sexual compatibility — these 'qualities' are the furthest things from what gives a person value."

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has dismissed suggestions she has returned to drinking after she was pictured clubbing during her recent trip to London.
The Mean Girls star completed a 90-day stint at a rehab center in California last summer (13) after years of legal troubles, and she subsequently insisted she had given up her hard-partying lifestyle along with drink and drugs.
However, Lohan sparked fears for her health this month (Jan14) after she was pictured at numerous nightclubs during her trip to London, with rumors suggesting she had gone back to her bad girl ways.
The actress has now spoken out to insist she is still clean and sober as she doesn't actually consume any booze on her nights out.
She tells Australian radio station KIIS 1065, "I'm around people that go out and people that drink... I wouldn't go out with my friends and expect them not to have a drink. That doesn't mean that I have to do the same things that they are doing. I can still have fun. I like being around people. I love music. I'm social. That's who I am, and if I have nothing to do the next day, then I can go out with my friends the night before... People have had so many things to say about the things that I do that weren't necessarily true... It's (not drinking) a choice."
Lohan goes on to insist she has cut many of her associates out of her life as she believed them to be a bad influence: "I know a lot of people in my life that weren't necessarily the best influences and were... just there just to be there. I don't really have those people in my life any more. So I don't end up in situations where I am going to compromise myself."

I wanted to try fiore for a while but they are usually sold out of the style, colour, and size I like. I settled for these because the pair I really wanted were sold out. These were worth the wait. I like the way they look, and the feel is glamorous. They come up on the leg exactly where I want them to and I really like the welt detail. I like them almost as much as my Aristocs, but they're cheaper and the one pair I ordered has outlasted the four pairs of Aristoc that I ordered in the same batch.
Fiore makes beautiful stockings. Unfortunately these basic quality ones are not very durable. If the lady does something else than sits or lies elegantly they are easily destroyed. Wearing shoes is a murder for them. The sizing runs quite small.

(KMOV.com) – Those who ride Metro buses and Metrolink will soon be paying more to use the mass transit system.
Executives with Metro told News 4 the hike, which will take effect July 1, is necessary because costs for fuel, healthcare, and other expenses are going up.
Metro currently estimates 78 percent of their revenue comes from taxes and 22 percent comes from fees paid by users. Metro executives told News 4 the rate increase will raise $2.2 million in revenue per year.
Officials said the plan to increase rates was chosen with public input.
Several riders told News 4 they are unhappy with the increase. You can find a detailed list of fares here.

|Amateur Needs Help with Gear Recommendations
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help on gear recommendations and wiring for my ideal rig. I currently own six stompboxes; Boss TU3, Crybaby Classic Wah, MXR Talkbox, MXR Phase 90, MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe Delay, TC Hall of Fame Reverb, and MXR Stereo Chorus.
Ideally, I'd like to find a way to rackmount the Phase 90, Hall of Fame Reverb, and Stereo Chorus, and run them on/off via a pedal controller. Additionally, I usually run a stereo rig that splits via the Stereo Chorus to two EVH heads. I'd also like to find a MIDI controller (like the Voodoo Lab Amp Switcher?) that I could channel switch both heads simultaneously from.
From what I've found, I believe I could do everything I want to via the Voodoo Lab Amp Switcher and PX8, granted I could be wrong and am completely lost about how I would wire it up. I know that I would want to run the Delay, Reverb, and Chorus through the effects loops of both heads, and run the Phase, Wah, Talkbox, and tuner in front of the amp heads.
I'd greatly appreciate any input about what gear I would need to achieve this and how I would go about wiring it.

|Re: Amateur Needs Help with Gear Recommendations
Firstly, to maintain stereo and run the stereo chorus through the PX8 you will have to use 2 audio loops. Also, the chorus will have to go last in the chain on the PX8.
I know with the GCX, Voodoo Lab can convert 4 or all 8 loops to stereo loops, however I'm not sure about the PX8. I don't believe they offer a conversion on that unit...... Although I may be wrong.
The GCX may be a better all in one unit that would do what you want.... Along with the ground Control pro It'll change effects and amps, at the same time. Regarding wiring through 2 effects loops, if the chorus is the last in the chain on the GCX or PX8, you would be using 2 loops. In this case one loop would go to one amp FX loops, and the other audio loop would go to the other amp FX loop, thereby maintaining stereo across the 2 amps.

|Re: Amateur Needs Help with Gear Recommendations
If you are looking to have everything go into a rack, then the GCX would certainly be the better choice. It is a rackmount device to begin with, and it can have four or all eight loops converted to Stereo. The loops are all independent, so any combination can be used for front end effects, FX Loop effects, and Function Switching.
The HEX is suited well to rack setups or pedalboard setups, but it has the one independent loop and five loops that are pre-wired in series. HEX has no stereo option unless running two units at once.
The PX-8 Plus would be better suited to a pedalboard based setup where it is both the switcher and the controller. It has eight loops in series with an Insert break between Loops 6 and 7. There is not a stereo option for PX-8 Plus.
I hope that helps!

|Re: Amateur Needs Help with Gear Recommendations
Thank you so much for the help!
I have decided to go the GCX/ GCP route! However, I am still lost about how I would wire this up. Please see my sketch and notes on the GCX worksheet below, and let me know what you guys think!
Thanks much again,
|bettsaj [ Thu Dec 07, 2017 1:43 am ]
|Post subject:
|Re: Amateur Needs Help with Gear Recommendations
It all looks good to me, you will have to order a GCX with a stereo mod on loops 5 thru 8. John Clark would probably be able to help there.
As regards channel switching, yes you will need to account for that on the GCX

Gharials are once again on the verge of extinction in the wild. After 30 years of conservation effort and restocking, there may still be fewer than 200 breeding adults left in the wild. Gharials are officially extinct from everywhere except a few small isolated populations in India and Nepal. Males have bulbous tips, shaped much like Indian 'ghara' pots, on the end of their unusually long, narrow snouts. This low-profile snout is filled with interlocking razor-sharp teeth, that are perfect for catching fish underwater. Gharials are one of the largest and most aquatic members of the crocodile family.

Chaos reigns in Brooklyn, N.Y. as major storm Sandy's savage assault on the area left some of the residents free to loot Coney Island.
On Tuesday morning, the Mega Aid Pharmacy found the store's interior destroyed and more than 10,000 pharmaceutical items stolen by looters. Most of the stolen goods were prescription medicines.
Other shops on Mermaid Avenue also suffered; one worker at Mega Aid said, "The water went away and these people started walking down the streets and just robbed stores."
The pharmacy's manager, Stan Gutkin, was disconsolate: "I don't even know what it's going to take until we're operational. This breaks the business. I don't even know where to start." Reports said that looters stole from banks, pharmacies, and other shops.
Even the police acknowledged how bad the situation was. One officer said, "It's getting dark, and it's real dangerous out here — that's why there's a cop on every block."
At the Ocean Towers housing project, two women got in a fistfight while other residents threw objects at the police who tried to stop the fight. One resident said, "People are turning on each other — they're attacking each other. Even when there's no disaster, this building is disastrous. But after the hurricane, it just got crazy."

In North Carolina 36 percent of American Indian adults smoke. That means the smoking rate for American Indians is higher than that of whites (22%), African Americans (22%), and Hispanics (16%). Because of this, American Indian/Native American smokers, are at high risk of suffering from smoking-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, lung disease and stroke. One troubling statistic is that 56 percent of American Indian youth in Bureau of Indian Affairs high schools in the U.S. smoke.

The Amber SpyglasseBook - 2000
The unforgettable His Dark Materials trilogy that began with The Golden Compass --the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time"--and continued with The Subtle Knife , reaches its astonishing conclusion in The Amber Spyglass.
Throughout the worlds, the forces of both heaven and hell are mustering to take part in Lord Asriel's audacious rebellion. Each player in this epic drama has a role to play--and a sacrifice to make. Witches, angels, spies, assassins, tempters, and pretenders, no one will remain unscathed.
Lyra and Will have the most dangerous task of all. They must journey to a gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone and from which there is no escape.
As war rages and Dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living--and the dead--comes to depend on Lyra and Will. On the choices they make in love, and for love, forevermore.

This is an amazing and thought provoking conclusion to a wonderful series. This novel takes a very substantial and dramatic turn from its predecessors. It delves deeper into the worlds that were created so beautifully by Pullman and uncovers hidden truths that will leave you questioning what you thought you knew and trying to reflect on the first two books in light of new discoveries.
Loved the first two books, lots of non stop action and fairly good character development, but obviously a fairly offensive subject matter in this one that I would not have my 10 year old read. Made it to the angels and found my attention waning, there were too many worlds and too many creatures and silly subject matter to think we could defeat God (lol!). I am very tired of reading authors like Pullman who can not decidedly figure out how to end their novels with some good resolution. Its like they learned how to write an exciting book but no one taught them how to end it! ZZZzzzzzz!~
Truly a classic trilogy. Even better, it can be enjoyed in adolescence and as an adult, so reading it again as an adult now brings nostalgia AND intrigue (still!). Very few fictions deserve such accolades, this one is a masterpiece!
A quick read; I was quite surprised by Mrs. Coulter's sacrifice; though not by Lord Asriel's. I really liked Lord Roke and his compatriots; also Mary Malone and the mulefa. I thought it neat the way she adapted to a different world so easily. It was very poignant what happens to Lyra and Will in the end. I am looking forward to reading Lyra's Oxford; although now that Pan has settled am not so sure if it will be as interesting. A book well worth reading.
I was intrigued by the series. I liked the ideas in the books and felt it was very imaginative. It was a lot different than the movie, there were some points I was shocked by how much difference there was. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed by the time I got to the third book. There was a little too much going on. However, overall, I thought watching the characters be changed by their experiences was well done.
I think that If you are a Christian, you shouldn't read this. That being said, I love the imagery in this book. The rich depiction of creatures. It also depicted them intelligently and scientifically... But the ending was very very disappointing. I hate uncomplicated happy endings (seriously). I agree with @LaurenAHHH ....
I more so tried to read this... starting in the 2nd book the mythological aspect was laid on a little thick for me and the opinions were a little too blasphemous for me to buy into.
The ending felt like an odd turn for the books, but I still enjoyed reading it. His writing was consistent throughout all three novels, but his resolution took an odd tone that ignored a lot of the established characteristics for both Lyra and Will.
I really loved this book. It was a great ending, but I was sad to see the pain that has built up in Lyra and I really wanted her to be happy. I loved how this was still an out of this world story line and I could almost believe that I was there, right beside her.

Ever wondered if you could get the BlackBerry OS to work on non-BB smartphones, like how you can use Android or Windows Phone on Samsung and HTC devices? Research in Motion (RIM) CEO Thorsten Heins hints in a long interview with German newspaper Die Welt that licensing BlackBerry 10 to other manufacturers is "conceivable."
During its post-earnings conference call in July last year, Heins debunked rumors of RIM considering partnerships with other OS developers, stating that they will be sticking to the BlackBerry OS. However, as the interview with Die Welt shows, there is a possibility that RIM is considering taking the other route—offering their OS to manufacturers—once it is proven to have potential.
While discussing BlackBerry 10, Die Welt asks Heins if it's time to make the platform available to other manufacturers. Heins replies, "Before you license the software, you must show that the platform has a large potential. First we have to fulfill our promises. When we bring forth this proof, licensing is also conceivable." [Original Heins quote in Die Welt was in German; Translated text via SlashGear]
RIM has been hard at work with BlackBerry 10, and promises that the new OS is a "future-proof" platform," predicted to float RIM's boat through the next ten years.
BlackBerry 10 is scheduled to launch at the end of January.

Re: Ask HTML related questions here!
Yeah, there is a way - use CSS. CSS stands for cascading style sheets, and they're used to seperate the content from the display. For example, one set of web pages make up this site, but there are two different style sheets written in CSS, one for the PC display, and one for the PSP display. You can see them here and here if you're interested.
Anyway, back onto the question - simply put this code into your style sheet:
body{ background-image: url('bg.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-y; }

Re: Ask HTML related questions here!
The way that CSS usually works is with 'stylesheets'. These are seperate files to the html, allowing multiple html files to take their appearance from one file. This is good because you change one value in this file, eg for the font-size, and it changes the appearance across the whole site. Easy!
So, you create a file called whatever.css and then link your html to it by putting this into the head section of your html:
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="whatever.css" type="text/css" />
You can link as many stylesheet files as you like like this. You can add extra attributes too, for example, you can have one link with the attribute media="screen" and one with media="print" and the browser uses the print stylesheet when printing (so you can set it to not display the navigation etc)
Within the stylesheet, you do not need to start or end the code - just the fact that it is a css file will tell the html how to deal with it. The basic syntax for css is the identifier (a html tag, eg body, p, h1 etc; a class or a name). The official description of how this works is here, and it's not too hard to read...
Unfortunately i deleted all of my bookmarks for help on css a while ago because i decided i didn't need them any more, but if you just do some google searches for css help, you get loads of tutorials...

Second question - you'll probably be breaking the rules of your hosting provider if you hide their ads. To be honest, easier to just get your own hosting - it's not too expensive. Domain names are about £5 for 2 years (www.123-reg.co.uk) and hosting is around £20 a year (www.dataflame.co.uk)

close, i think you have to use id rather than name, then use a standard hyperlink with a # then the identifier. You should be able to use this with any tag, but it's classically done with
 tags or
 header tags.
If you want to go to the top of the page, you can simply point a hyperlink at #
ps. it might work with name as well, i've never tried it...

Re: Ask HTML related questions here!
They both seem to work :p
Check it out
I've always used name so far... But I guess id is shorter.
What I like most about these anchors (that's what they're called) is that you can link to them from another page too, if you haven't found that out yet.
you can do that by linking to the page, followed by #name of your anchor
for my little test page, that's http://www.pspflashgaming.com/user_uploads/Jeffy/Rubbish/test.html#middle which means it's linked on the anchor that i named "middle", somewhere in the middle of the page.

Phil, you used CSS elements for this website. I know it can be used to change fomn't sizwes, colours etc. But in he beginning, there was a sing when you visited the site from a PSP - 'you are using a PSP or something'.

Re: Ask HTML related questions here!
id is also better because css uses the id tag to reference objects in the page.
As for the latest question - using CSS, no. What you want to do is change the content in the web page, and CSS can't do that. You need some PHP. You could then automatically detect the language of the user and use php to display the relevant text. Check out www.php.net, it's a very good site. Ask if you need any help

New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills: Will Patrick Chung Be Able to Play?September 23, 2011
The New England Patriots' secondary just got even more thin with the news of Patrick Chung likely to be ruled out for Sunday's visit to Ralph Wilson Stadium against the Buffalo Bills.
As Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald reported Thursday, Chung is likely not going to play against the Bills. Shalise Manza Young is now reporting that Chung was at the team's practice on Friday and did participate in the workout.
Chung underwent surgery on his right thumb earlier this week, so it's likely that he will not play on Sunday, but it's rather strange to hear a report of Chung participating in practice at Gillette Stadium today.
The Patriots enter Week 3 with several notable defensive backs on their injury report: Kyle Arrington (concussion), Josh Barrett (thumb), Leigh Bodden (hand), Ras-I Dowling (hip), as well as Chung and his recently operated thumb.
New England is going to need to get all the help they can against Ryan Fitzpatrick and Buffalo's white-hot offense.
Coming into this weekend, the Bills are currently sitting atop the league with an incredible average of 39.5 points per game and are seventh in total team offense. Mainly, Buffalo's focus is to run the ball with the league's leading rusher, Fred Jackson, as well as mixing in C.J. Spiller and Brad Smith.
However, when Buffalo goes to the air, Fitzpatrick has been efficient and productive and could have his way against New England's injured secondary that comes into this weekend ranking 31st in the league in passing yards allowed.
With Chung's recent surgery, it's hard to believe that he'll be able to play at a high level this Sunday in Buffalo, but practicing today is definitely a good sign that he's heading in the right direction.

The Nutter Center is a sporting and entertainment venue on the Campus of Wright State University. It is situated on a parcel of land distanced from the main academic campus by a thick reserve of forest, which unfortunately, visually separates the two into separate elements. The existing marquee at the major vehicular entrance to the Nutter Center is a great example of a project that was steered by many Captains during its 20 year lifetime. In addition to it being an entry signifier for the Nutter Center, it became a video board displaying upcoming events, the receiver of sponsorship signage from a variety of sources, was even roofed over to house traffic cones for police to use during high-volume events and was even given an outdoor quilt which is a cultural tradition with Ohio roots.
MSA worked with the WSU Facilities group to help them see the potential of rebranding the Nutter Center site as a district within the WSU Academic Campus. A family of identifiers ranging from a new iconic Marquee at the entrance to the site down to signage pylons that will line the edge of site as experienced at the major traffic artery, on down to the smaller signage elements that will mark each secondary entrance to the site. The new signage will align with the University's current brand standards, naming the venue, €œWright State University Nutter Center. Lastly, the new, iconic design took cues from the existing building it represents as well as from site elements at the existing campus entry.

WARNER ROBINS -- Steve Rigby is creating a new entertainment option for Middle Georgia families.
Rigby's Family Fun Center will offer activities for all ages in one place, something the local developer says has been hard to come by for area families like his.
Rigby has five children, ranging from second grade to college-aged, who have served as his inspiration for the project.
"If we go somewhere for the older kids, the younger ones are bored," Rigby said. "If we go somewhere for the younger kids, the older ones are bored or really don't even want to go. This will be a one-stop shop."
The facility is scheduled to open in April, just in time for Rigby's son Max's 10th birthday.
"He wants to have the first birthday party here," Rigby said Thursday, standing in the unfinished building. Construction began in August.
Rigby expects the more than $4 million fun center to create 65 to 100 jobs, and those interested can contact him through Facebook to keep up with the development process.
Rigby, who lost a recent bid for the Warner Robins City Council Post 2 seat, said in addition to housing developments, he has past experience in the bar and restaurant business.
"But nothing of this magnitude," he said.
The 40,000-square-foot fun center will feature skating, bowling, laser tag, arcade games and a host of other activities.
For the grown-ups there will be an adults-only lounge, raised so parents can keep an eye on their children while enjoying a cappuccino. Rigby says this sets him apart from other area fun centers, and will make Rigby's a one-of-a-kind place to visit.
"It's like Dave & Buster's on steroids," Rigby said.
However, unlike the national chain, no alcohol will be sold at Rigby's.
The food court will offer a variety from pizza and carnival-style food to wraps and healthy options.
Everything will be paid for through a debit card-like system. Customers can load and reload the plastic cards with money to pay for food and games, and points earned will be saved on the card instead of using reams of tickets for prize redemption.
"You can spend $8 to go roller skating or as much as you want," Rigby said. "The average child will spend about $12.50 per visit."
The complex, not far from Interstate 75, is expected to attract visitors from a 40-mile radius, based on a study conducted by a Las Vegas gaming company, Rigby said.
Several of the areas and activities, such as a bowling suite and laser maze, also can be used by businesses for team building exercises, said Stacey Schwartz, regional manager for Rigby's rental properties and fun center.
Also, the skating rink is large enough to meet the standards for national roller skating competitions to be held there.
The building is located off Ga. 96 near Lake Joy Road, an area Rigby said is the fastest growing segment of Warner Robins.
Population has increased 140 percent since 2000 in the less than 10 square-mile census tract adjacent to the fun center, according to the 2010 U.S. census.
In today's tough economy, Rigby said, the center will serve as an inexpensive family activity close to home.
"This allows families to have a nice day out without driving to Orlando or even the beach," Schwartz said. "This is going to be a destination.
"We're excited."

I'd say the main problem with this is that it would have CSS trampling on HTML's territory - it would mean CSS would have the power to change the MEANING of the HTML code. Whatever code existed inside the 'display: escaped' section would not really be code, but content. That's a pretty big trampling. Also, imagine what happens if someone has CSS disabled! Some browser support a <XMP> tag that does what you're talking about. I strongly recommend against using it, as it is non-Standard, browser support is spotty (as it should be for non-Standard code) and once again imagine what happens on a non-supporting browser, and IMHO it violates the spirit of HTML code. There are a number of tools out there that can translate HTML code into escaped characters. For example, I do most of my coding in an editor called jEdit (www.jedit.org) that has a plug-in that does this for me. I believe this is the prefered method of doing what you want to accomplish.

The Palm Unveils Brand Refresh in Celebration of Its 85th Anniversary
Iconic Restaurant Group Enhances Guest Experience with New Menu, Uniforms, and Tableware
Aug 16, 2011, 09:00 ET
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In a series of exciting moves for The Palm Restaurant Group, Bruce Bozzi, Jr., Executive Vice President and fourth-generation owner, and John Bettin, President and CEO, have announced that The Palm is rolling out a robust brand refresh that includes an updated look for the company's overall visual identity, tableware, uniforms, and signage, as well as a vibrant new ad campaign and enhanced website. The Palm has also introduced new and revised dishes to its beloved menu.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110816/NY52628LOGO)
Supported by more than 120 modified guest touch points, the refreshed brand platform was initially introduced in fall 2010 at The Palm's Washington, D.C. locations. Since then, twenty of the twenty-eight restaurants, including most recently, the New York City establishments, have adopted the new brand elements. The rollout will continue at additional Palm locations throughout 2011.
"We really wanted to retain all of The Palm's signature elements – from the caricatures on our walls to the signature dishes on our menu – but also take a deep look at our brand from all angles to identify ways we could enhance The Palm experience for guests," said Bozzi. "With our 85th anniversary taking place this year, the time was right to reintroduce The Palm to the world and establish a connection with the next generation of Palm patrons."
The Palm menu, the most notable aspect of the brand refresh, underwent a comprehensive reevaluation at the hands of Executive Chef Tony Tammero and Vice President of Culinary Operations Brian McCardle. Guests will notice new presentations of old favorites, like their Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and Hand Cut French Fries; new options, such as antipasti complete with authentic Italian meats and cheeses, home-made gelato in three flavors, and warm, sugared donuts; and comeback items including their 14- and 18-ounce New York strip steak. The updated menu has taken on a new physical incarnation as well. The previous paper form has been replaced by a hand-printed menu encased in brown leather, accompanied by a leaflet highlighting unique facts about each respective location.
Additionally, the brand refresh includes a refurbished logo that proudly incorporates The Palm's establishment year to remind guests of the rich history that is fundamental to the restaurant's success. Revitalized tableware featuring new dishware emblazoned with the new Palm logo and an impressive, eye-catching wine decanter are just a few elements that enhance the dining experience. New wait staff uniforms, inspired by the original suits worn by waiters at The Palm's flagship restaurant in New York City, round out the components of the brand refresh. Servers don tan jackets embroidered with their first names and years of service while server assistants wear white shirts with black aprons.
A revamped website incorporates all new food and lifestyle images, and also serves as the first public display of the brand refresh, including new colors and logos.
The Palm's brand strategy, identity, design, and messaging were developed in collaboration with Korn Design of Boston and New York City, a nationally recognized brand strategy and design firm, and Libretto, a leading provider of strategic messaging and writing services based in Boston.
The Palm's philosophy is simple: Treat guests like family, serve great food, and always exceed expectations. Owned and operated by members of the Bozzi and Ganzi family since its founding in 1926, The Palm serves as a second home for countless patrons across the United States and abroad. The original Palm Restaurant, Palm One, bears the honor of being the oldest restaurant in New York City still owned by the same family at the same location. Now celebrating its 85th year of business, The Palm continues its legacy as a favorite gathering place and dining destination for families, friends, and business colleagues alike. For a virtual experience and to find a location near you, please go to www.thepalm.com.
For more information regarding The Palm, please contact Rebecca Brooks of The Brooks Group, 212-768-0860.

Craniosacral therapy is a form of bodywork first recognized in the early 1900s by Dr. William Sutherland, an osteopathic physician. He observed that the bones of the human body were in fact moving very subtly. This led to inquire as to what is moving the bones. Sutherland finally attributed what he was observing to the production and absorption of the cerebrospinal fluid.
Some of yoga's leading experts and instructors will discuss the health benefits of yoga, meditation and breathing techniques during the seventh annual Texas Yoga and Music Conference, February 19 to 21, at India House, in Houston. Participants can experience yoga classes of all levels, for both adults and youth. Attendees can also enjoy musical concerts while networking and gaining knowledge of yoga through educational talks, materials and exhibitor demonstrations. Vendors will also be site, selling homemade jewelry and handbags.
