I would get the AMD FX-6300 I linked to over the FX-4300....and it's only $20 more for a 6 core processor.

I would liked to get a 6300 series, since it would maybe help with my slow compiling and emulating wp apps. However I think I will stick with the 4300 series since it's already past my budget and it will work ok.
I was looking at motherboards which is something I don't quite know enough about, but what's the incentive to buy MSI 970A-G46 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS - Newegg.com $80 vs ASRock 990FX Extreme3 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS - Newegg.com $120.00
Or maybe even a cheaper motherboard?

To be honest guys..
He will not notice any difference whatsoever from the chip he picked from AMD, and an i5 or i7.
I've got a really good reasoning for this. He will not buy two CPU's therefore will never be able to compare both of them side by side with branding. Both chips will perform greatly. None of the chips are garbage and neither will have horrible performance.
Think about it yourself.
If you sat in a room with 4 computers. And you were told to perform basic tasks in them. Up to gaming. WITHOUT any tools that can show you the progressive performance, and THEN you were told to say which one performed better, would you be able to answer without knowing if it came from Intel or AMD? Or what specific CPU the computer is using?
Perhaps if you were a supernatural being, or have OCD with computer processing speed, you would. But even so, you would not be able to say one computer is less capable than the other.
But a regular user? One who is being confused by the whole AMD VS Intel fad? Nah. Any of the chips will blow away his current set up, and he WILL notice that.
The CPU he picked, even if cheap, even if AMD or Intel. Is not a bad choice. It is not a regrettable decision specially if he picks a socket carefully that gives him an upgrade path. Having an upgrade path is the most important thing when building a computer. Even more important than buying the best CPU out there at the moment. It might be 2011 socket and pull 45GHZ, but if it's about to be phased out, then you will run out of luck when you need to upgrade.
That is just my opinion of course, and what -I- consider to be the most important factor when building a custom PC. Be smart, pick smart, buy smart.

I'm not supernatural but I can definitely notice a difference in performance between AMD and Intel. I have both running. Everything on the AMD rig is very slow from opening MS word or Photoshop to running CCleaner. I needn't bring up the AMD takes about 2 minutes to reboot.

The socket question is interesting since they seem to change sockets as fast as the socks. On the other hand, mobos are usually a lot cheaper than CPUs - unless you want a mobo with a lot of bells and whistles. So a mobo is relatively easy (price wise) to replace.

Yes well FWIW I agree with Erick re the 2011 socket and what he says re the buy smart - after all this machine is going to have to last for a couple of years at least and as long as he is happy with the performance well alls well. By the same token it would be a shame to get stuff like I did with my Sandy Bridge and wish afterwards I had gone a few dollars more.

Anybody should be able to tell the difference between the FX-4300 he picked out and an Intel Core i5/i7.......even in the most basic of tasks. I was simply persuading him to get the FX-6300 over the 4300 because what he is doing CAN benefit from the extra cores, and it's just $20 more.
In the end, nobody can decide what he will be happy with except for him. All we can do is give reasonable recommendations that blends what he needs with what his budget is.

I have a passion to decorate chairs since a lot of time. I decorated chairs in almost every place I lived during last 5-6 years. It is very particular. Chair is unique and interesting form, it is cozy, it is symbol of the house.
Here are some photos of chairs in my house, in the place I live in Milano, Italy, and there are chairs made with my friend and colleague (Stepan Belyakov) during our TV-working period. Together with Stepan we decorated 3 chairs, with curtain and old jeans. They have their style and they have our own style (girlish bright chair and boy's chair with superman character).

As the first hand-drawn 2D Disney animation after a drought of 5 years, The Princess and The Frog certainly exceeds expectations. After classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid and many more, the world grieved a little when Disney announced that Home on the Range was its last 2D animation in 2004.
Ron Clements and John Musker, most famously known for directing The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, bring you this jazzy little gem.
Everyone knows the story of the frog prince, from the famous Grimm Brothers tale – the frog is really a prince under a magic spell, frog meets princess, princess kisses frog, spell gets broken, and prince and princess live happily ever after. You could say it's the basic formula that Beauty and the Beast and even Shrek derive their plots from.
However, Disney's The Princess and The Frog gives a fresh twist to the story. Who knows if President Obama has anything to do with it, but it seems awfully overdue that this is Disney's first African-American heroine, joining the court of largely white (Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle), Native American (Pocahontas), Arabian (Jasmine) and Chinese (Mulan) heroines. To add more excitement to our over-exposed viewers, the prince ends up kissing the wrong girl, turning her into a frog as well, due to an unfortunate mix-up.
Anika Noni Rose of the Dreamgirls voices Walt Disney Studio's first African American princess, Tiana, a working class waitress who aspires to open her own restaurant to fulfil her father's dream. Meanwhile, Bruno Campos lends his rich baritone to the role of Prince Naveen, who was turned into a frog by voodoo doctor, Dr Facilier (Keith David). The 2 charming amphibians go on an adventure through the bayou (marshes that Louisiana is famous for) in search of a way to break the curse. Along the way they meet an assortment of amusing characters, including Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley) the jazz trumpet playing alligator, and Ray (Jim Cummings) the lovesick Cajun firefly.
The film is set in the beautifully illustrated New Orleans of the 1920s, but you don't have to know the history of the birthplace of jazz music to appreciate its rich culture, which is a huge influence to the story. Besides the music and the bayou, The Mardi Gras, a carnival of grand proportions that New Orleans is renowned for, gumbo, a stew usually made of either chicken or seafood originating from Louisiana, and the great Mississippi River all make appearances too.
The music is similarly inspired by the era, with a very bluesy and jazzy vibe by composer Randy Newman of Cars and Toy Story fame. "Almost There", which illustrates Tiana's ambitions of turning an old mill into her own restaurant, and "Friends from the Other Side", where Dr Facilier summons spirits to perform his black magic, are some notable numbers that this outing boasts. These are accompanied by breathtaking animations. However, take note if watching with little ones, as the otherworldly spirits might scare them.
For those who grew up with the Disney fairytales as their staple, this trip down memory lane is one you'll surely enjoy. Pay attention, and you might even spot some references (intentional or otherwise) to classics such as Pinocchio, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid and The Jungle Book.
However, The Princess and The Frog is not without its share of drawbacks, most significantly the clichés that abound in its 97-minute runtime, like ditzy blondes and the egoistical but charming prince, just to name a few.
While the backbone of the story also falls in line with previous films, it takes the ethos, anything can happen if you just believe, and attempts to reinvent it for today's jaded world. As Tiana's daddy tells his young daughter, "That evening star can only take you part of the way, … never lose sight of what is really important". The ending also seems a tad too neat to be realistic. Additionally, one would have appreciated it if the 'white' characters were not all portrayed as either dumb or ditzy.
However, if you're willing to look beyond the clichés, you'll find The Princess and The Frog to be a wonderfully heart-warming tale in the league of its predecessors, with the good possibility of becoming one of the classics that you'll want to watch again and again.

EUGENE — Meringue.
"M-E-R-I-N-G-U-E," 10-year-old Madeline Mervine spells confidently.
The fifth-grader at Meadow View School in west Eugene's Bethel School District is a master speller. She insists she can spell any word she's read.
"You didn't know how to spell 'pulchritude,' " said her mother, Kendra Mervine.
"Yes I did," Madeline replied while straightening her spine, preparing to spell the synonym for beauty. "P-U-L-C-H-R-I-T-U-D-E."
Madeline will represent Lane County elementary school students at the state spelling bee next weekend at the Oregon State Fair. The spelling whiz won first place in the county competition in May, beating about 20 other children.
Her secret? Reading.
"I read books," she said. "All kinds. I love books. I love all books."
She's read everything from a children's version of "Moby Dick" to all 13 of Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events." She loves Nancy Drew mysteries, "Little Women," "The Jungle Book" and "Charlotte's Web."
Madeline doesn't remember how many books she's read in the past year. She doesn't even remember how many books she's read in the past week. "I spend most of the day, well, year, reading," she said.
Madeline, who earned the nickname "Book Worm" at a summer camp this year, hasn't practiced spelling words for the state competition. She just reads. Sometimes, she'll read a dictionary.
Madeline has competed twice in the Oregon Battle of the Books — a statewide reading comprehension competition for children in grades three through 12. She read 16 books in a team of four and had to answer questions about the books. Her team didn't do so well, though.
Madeline's father, Mike Mervine, said he and his wife frequently read to Madeline when she was a baby.
The first book they read to her was one of the "Madeline" books, a series by Ludwig Bemelmans.
"She would sit there and be intent on listening to the whole story," Mike Mervine said. "By the time she was 3, she would memorize books we read to her."
Madeline said she wants to become an editor for a publishing company one day. That way, she'd catch every spelling error and get to read more books, she said.
Madeline's book collection covers her bedroom floor. Some pages are falling out of her juice-stained copy of "The Ersatz Elevator" — the sixth book in Snicket's series.
"She reads them over and over and over again," her mother said.
Madeline said she doesn't know why she loves to read so much. Sometimes, she'll read to her 2-year-old brother, Max. "It came naturally to me," she said. "It's, well, hard to explain."
In third grade, she was frequently selected to read book passages out loud because her teacher was impressed that she knew how to pronounce and define the word "linger."
Her favorite word is "literature," she said, because it sounds nice. Plus, she likes literature.
Madeline's reading habit, however, can keep her from doing tasks. Her mother said she never does her homework. "I just don't want to stop reading," Madeline said. "I just want to read so much."
Spelling champ's secret? Reading, and lots of it
EUGENE — Meringue.

In a short decision, the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed the Federal Court of Appeal's ruling that Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") do not carry on "broadcasting undertakings" subject to regulation by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") under the Broadcasting Act.
This case arose from a reference by the CRTC to the Federal Court of Appeal following its 2009 determination to continue the 1999 New Media Exemption Order (the "Order"). During the CRTC proceeding, a coalition representing the Canadian cultural industry proposed a levy on ISPs in order to fund the creation of new Canadian broadcasting content for the "new media" platform (consisting of Internet and mobile media applications), similar to existing levies that are paid by traditional broadcasters in Canada.
In its 2009 ruling (Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009- 329), the Commission determined that a levy was unnecessary. Nevertheless, it wished to resolve the question of whether ISPs are subject to the Broadcasting Act, because if so, ISPs would fall within the scope of the Order, which was intended to encompass all broadcasting undertakings whose services are delivered and accessed over the Internet. Rather than ruling on whether ISPs were broadcasting undertakings, the CRTC referred the following question to the Federal Court of Appeal: "Do retail Internet service providers (ISPs) carry on, in whole or in part, "broadcasting undertakings" subject to the Broadcasting Act when, in their role as ISPs, they provide access through the Internet to "broadcasting" requested by end-users?" In its decision (Re Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, 2010 FCA 178), the Federal Court of Appeal said "no," finding that ISPs are not carrying on a "broadcasting undertaking" under the Broadcasting Act where the ISP's role is strictly limited to providing an end-user with access to the Internet and therefore has no control over the content made available to the end-user. The cultural groups were granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
In its brief decision released on February 9, 2012 (Reference re Broadcasting Act, 2012 SCC 4), the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously affirmed the Federal Court of Appeal's decision and dismissed the appeal. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed with the Federal Court of Appeal's interpretation that the term "broadcasting undertaking" in the Broadcasting Act does not contemplate an entity that has no role in contributing to the policy objectives stated in section 3(1) of the Act. Those policy objectives focus on content, such as the cultural enrichment of Canada, the promotion of Canadian content, establishing a high standard for original programming and ensuring that programming is diverse. The Court noted that an ISP does not engage with those policy objectives when it merely provides the mode of transmission for content.
The Court found that this interpretation of "broadcasting undertaking" is consistent with its decision in Electric Despatch Co. of Toronto v. Bell Telephone Co. of Canada (1891), 20 SCR 83, in which the Court was tasked with determining whether the term "transmit" implicated an entity who merely provided the mode of transmission, in a case involving an exclusivity contract relating to messenger orders. In Electric Despatch, it was found that only the sender of a message could be said to "transmit" the message. The Supreme Court of Canada relied on Electric Despatch in SOCAN v. CAIP, 2004 SCC 45, where it held that because ISPs merely act as a conduit for information provided by others, ISPs themselves could not be held to "communicate" that information to the public.
Ultimately, considering that term in the context of the scheme and purpose of the Broadcasting Act, the Supreme Court of Canada's decision affirms that ISPs, when acting solely in their capacity to provide access to the Internet, are not "broadcasting undertakings" under the Broadcasting Act.

Air Charter Service is delighted to announce that the company has been voted Air Cargo Charter Broker of the Year at the ACW World Air Cargo Awards 2013.
In the only award of its kind – one voted for by international freight forwarders and cargo airlines alike – the global aircraft charter specialist topped the poll as the favourite provider of charters to the world's cargo industry.
The Air Cargo Week World Air Cargo Awards celebrate excellence and achievement in a variety of categories. Justin Lancaster, the company's Group Director of Cargo, who collected the award on behalf of Air Charter Service at the glittering Gala Dinner in Munich last week said: "We would like to thank all our customers and the airlines who voted for us - it is a huge honour to be voted the best at what we do by our peers. What makes it all the more pleasing is that so many of our clients and suppliers have taken the time to vote for us. Due to the fact that, unlike some of our competitors, we are a pure charter brokerage without any ancillary services or companies, we didn't believe we could generate the required number of votes to win, so we are thrilled."
Chris Leach, the company's Chairman and Founder commented: "We are very proud and honoured to have received this prestigious award and to achieve such recognition in the industry is the culmination of Air Charter Service's hard work over the past 12 months and, indeed, the past 23 years."

Speaking on the National Border Patrol Council's Green Line radio show, presumptive GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump warned that the country is in grave danger of another terrorist attack due to recent immigrants who have "cell phones with ISIS flags on them," reports Buzzfeed.
Trump. who has wavered on banning all Muslims from the country depending upon which reporter he is talking to, said it was time to "wake up about border security."
Trump called Hillary Clinton a "disaster," saying, "She wants the Syrians to pour into the country, we don't know if they're Syrians by the way… A lot of these people don't have any documents," before pointing to recent difficulties in Germany.
The businessman did make a pitch to build a "safe zone" in the Middle East for Syrian refugees, saying he would "get the Gulf States to pay for it."
As for the U.S., Trump claimed, "There will be attacks that you wouldn't believe. There will be attacks by the people that are right now that are coming into our country."
"I mean you look at it, they have cell phones," Trump declared. "So they don't have money, they don't have anything. They have cell phones — who pays their monthly charges, right?"
"They have cell phones with the flags, the ISIS flags on them," he continued. "And we're supposed to say, 'Isn't this wonderful that we're taking them in?' We're led by people that are either incompetent or they don't have the best interests of our country at heart."

Snowplow trucks are available for sale through sites such as Commercial Truck Trader, eBay, RealTruck.com and Craigslist. When looking at listings on these sites, buyers need to note whether or not they are for used or new trucks in order to determine the actual value of the sale.
The first thing a buyer needs to do when considering purchasing a snowplow truck is to decide if she wants a new or used truck. New trucks carry a greater degree of reliability along with a higher price, while used trucks are cheaper but come with a greater likelihood of damage or the need for repairs. Many classifieds and auction sites with listings for snowplow trucks contain filters that allow the user to view listings for only new or only used trucks, allowing a buyer to look only at the snowplow trucks most relevant to her needs.
If the buyer decides to purchase a used snowplow truck, she should focus on local sellers so that she can inspect the truck herself. The inspection needs to consist of a test drive, to make sure that the truck drives properly, and an examination of the plow's condition along with the condition of the mounting hardware.

B-CU Wildcat Day at the Capitol a Roaring Success
Hundreds of students, faculty, staff and alumni of Bethune-Cookman University descended on Tallahassee for Wildcat Day at the Capitol on March 25.
More than 200 students, faculty and staff boarded buses at 4 a.m. and headed to Tallahassee to lobby legislators for increased funding for two new initiatives. Scores of alumni drove ahead and met the group on the steps of the capitol.
Students and staff met with lawmakers and not only shared their concerns, but also learned how the government works. Carneal Waddey, who will graduate next spring, got his first taste of lobbying Tuesday. The 21-year-old, who's majoring in hospitality management, said he feels he can apply the skills he learned to the business world. "It's very unique to see what happens behind closed doors, between what you see on TV," Waddey said.
B-CU is hoping for $1.5 million for the Entrepreneurship Institute and $1 million for the College of Health Sciences, which are slated to launch this fall. The College of Health Sciences will offer bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees and cover areas like nursing, psychology, aging studies, public health and athletic training. The Entrepreneurship Institute is intended to boost the number of minority and women-owned businesses.
During the rally, the students also talked about the Florida Resident Access Grant, which provides tuition assistance to full-time students from Florida attending private colleges and universities located in the state, said 18-year-old Allison Lee. The Leesburg native, who's majoring in political science, said Tuesday marked her first trip to Tallahassee.
I got my first experience lobbying today and I really enjoyed doing that," said Lee, who is the freshman class vice president at B-CU.
Bethune-Cookman doesn't try to compete with the large state universities for funding, said B-CU President Dr. Edison O. Jackson, because the smaller school has a different mission.
"It's not difficult if you have the respect of the elected officials and they see the work that you're doing is useful and viable and in keeping with what they want," Jackson said. "We were excited to take our story to the state's top officials so that they can see that we are a center of academic excellence."

App Description
"Great intro to Algebra!"
This Hands-On Equations Level 3 app is intended for students who have already completed Level 1 and 2 of Hands-On Equations and who would like the challenge of more sophisticated equations involving negative numbers.
In Level 3, the student solves equations such as 4x – (-4) = -8 and 3(-x) + 2 = -10 + x, which contain negative constants. The green numbered cube, which represents the opposite of the red numbered cube, is introduced at this level.
Since the red and green number cubes are opposite of each other, when they are together on the same side of the balance, their value is zero and may therefore be removed without affecting the balance.
A video introduction is provided for each lesson. (See the sample YouTube video at http://youtu.be/VFYQ47EAqZw.) Each video introduction is followed by two examples and ten exercises. It is essential for the student to view the lesson video prior to attempting the examples and exercises for that lesson.
Hands-On Equations is the ideal introduction to algebra for elementary and middle school students. Not only will students have fun and be fascinated with the program, their sense of self-esteem will be dramatically enhanced as they experience success with sophisticated algebraic equations.
High school students struggling with algebra will likely experience success and understanding for the first time as they work with this app.
More information on Hands-On Equations can be found at www.borenson.com and on YouTube.

Jack Hobbs is set to see more Liverpool action this weekend.
Liverpool may have Jamie Carragher and the inexperienced Hobbs as their only available central defenders for the trip to Manchester City on Sunday after the ankle injury suffered by Sami Hyypia at Derby County on Boxing Day.
The Finn received intensive treatment yesterday but is rated a serious doubt.

On Monday, seven antiprivatization activists were arrested in Soweto for blocking the installation of prepaid water meters. The meters are a privatized answer to the fact that millions of poor South Africans cannot pay their water bills.
The new gadgets work like pay-as-you-go cell phones, only instead of having a dead phone when you run out of money, you have dead people, sickened by drinking cholera-infested water.
On the same day South Africa's "water warriors" were locked up, Argentina's negotiations with the International Monetary Fund bogged down. The sticking point was rate hikes for privatized utility companies. In a country where 50 percent of the population is living in poverty, the IMF is demanding that multinational water and electricity companies be allowed to increase their rates by a staggering 30 percent.
At trade summits, debates about privatization can seem wonkish and abstract. On the ground, they are as clear and urgent as the right to survive.
After September 11, right-wing pundits couldn't bury the globalization movement fast enough. We were gleefully informed that in times of war, no one would care about frivolous issues like water privatization. Much of the US antiwar movement fell into a related trap: Now was not the time to focus on divisive economic debates, it was time to come together to call for peace.
All this nonsense ends in Cancún this week, when thousands of activists converge to declare that the brutal economic model advanced by the World Trade Organization is itself a form of war.
War because privatization and deregulation kill–by pushing up prices on necessities like water and medicines and pushing down prices on raw commodities like coffee, making small farms unsustainable. War because those who resist and "refuse to disappear," as the Zapatistas say, are routinely arrested, beaten and even killed. War because when this kind of low-intensity repression fails to clear the path to corporate liberation, the real wars begin.
The global antiwar protests that surprised the world on February 15 grew out of the networks built by years of globalization activism, from Indymedia to the World Social Forum. And despite attempts to keep the movements separate, their only future lies in the convergence represented by Cancún. Past movements have tried to fight wars without confronting the economic interests behind them, or to win economic justice without confronting military power. Today's activists, already experts at following the money, aren't making the same mistake.
Take Rachel Corrie. Although she is engraved in our minds as the 23-year-old in an orange jacket with the courage to face down Israeli bulldozers, Corrie had already glimpsed a larger threat looming behind the military hardware. "I think it is counterproductive to only draw attention to crisis points–the demolition of houses, shootings, overt violence," she wrote in one of her last e-mails. "So much of what happens in Rafah is related to this slow elimination of people's ability to survive…. Water, in particular, seems critical and invisible." The 1999 Battle of Seattle was Corrie's first big protest. When she arrived in Gaza, she had already trained herself not only to see the repression on the surface but to dig deeper, to search for the economic interests served by the Israeli attacks. This digging–interrupted by her murder–led Corrie to the wells in nearby settlements, which she suspected of diverting precious water from Gaza to Israeli agricultural land.

BOSTON � The decision by CVS Caremark to stop selling tobacco products at its drugstores nationwide won't change things at many of its outlets in Massachusetts.
That's because Boston, Worcester and dozens of other communities in the Bay State already have prohibitions on the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products at pharmacies.
Boston was one of the first major U.S. cities to impose such a ban in 2009.
According to the Massachusetts Municipal Association, Worcester and more than 50 other communities have since imposed bans, covering nearly 40 percent of the state's population. There are more than 120 CVS pharmacies within those communities.
Massachusetts Medical Society President Ronald Dunlap said in a statement Wednesday that the national announcement by CVS marks a ''milestone in tobacco prevention efforts.''

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Ed Orgeron fought to hold his emotions in check as he looked into a purple-and-gold section of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium moments after LSU beat Florida 17-16 on Saturday night. The man so proud to be their head coach -- proud to have been born and raised in Louisiana, and proud to have finally earned his dream job -- held his held high, but would not cry.
He felt it, though: the inexplicable loss a week earlier to Troy and the soul-searching that followed; the pair of players-only meetings to clear the air; how he and athletic director Joe Alleva felt compelled to call both coordinators into the office to sort things out; the former players wondering aloud, What's going on?; the constant wailing from fans and the media. Ten months after Alleva removed his interim tag and named Orgeron head coach, the honeymoon was over. Orgeron was fighting for his job again. "I earned it, whether you like it or not," he told one zealous caller during his weekly radio show Wednesday.
He promised, "We're ready to show the type of team we really are."
And after grinding out a win in Gainesville, it's clear that what they are is a work in progress. Playing with a sense of purpose again, the offense overcame key injuries and the defense racked up five sacks, beating a similarly short-handed Florida thanks to a missed extra point. Orgeron rallied the troops, but the mixture of relief and celebration afterward felt beyond the scope of the game: a pair of teams fighting to see who was fourth-best in the SEC.
Outside the locker room, Orgeron and Alleva locked eyes.
"What do you say, Joe?!" Orgeron shouted.
"What do you say?!" Alleva responded.
The men embraced, embattled coach and embattled athletic director surviving one game at a time. By beating rival Florida, they might not have to hear about Orgeron's $12 million buyout -- neither the feasibility of paying it nor the reason it was given to him in the first place.
"I thought we got close as a football team and a staff this week," Orgeron said. "I think Joe Alleva did a tremendous job of supporting us."
Sophomore linebacker Devin White had never been on a team with so many meetings, but he said it was worth it. After playing "soft" against Troy, leaders stepped up.
"Everybody knew what was at stake," White said.
"It wasn't pretty," said quarterback Danny Etling, "but it was a hard-fought win."
Etling, a popular piñata among fans, completed just 9 of 16 passes for 125 yards. After his lone touchdown -- a play-action pass to tight end Tory Carter -- he let his emotions show, pumping his fist wildly as he exited the field.
"Last week we lost some pride," Etling said. "There was no energy on the sideline and I think when you try to create your team off energy and all those things we try to do here, if you have a lack of energy on the field, that starts with the players. That's something we took upon ourselves -- to have fun, be up on the sidelines, be upbeat, have each other's back no matter what."
Therein lies the rub. With all due respect to Etling, it doesn't start with the players; they're not making millions of dollars to lead the program. It starts and ends with Orgeron, who is charged with setting the tone for everyone in the building.
Read what Etling said again: a team built off energy. Think about that. Is that what a team should be? That's ... combustible.
Beating Florida might have taken some heat off Orgeron and Alleva for the moment, but it was also Exhibit A for why Interim Coach O is the only kind of Coach O that has a track record of success. If there's chaos and uncertainty and a locker room on the brink of self-destruction, he's great. If players think they're fighting for his job, they've shown that they'll walk through fire for him. They did at LSU last season when he took over for a fired Les Miles and went 6-2, and they did at USC in 2013 when he took over for a fired Lane Kiffin and went 6-2. When White said that players knew what was at stake this week, it was their coach's job security.
When the moment doesn't call for fiery speeches and us-against-the-world rhetoric -- like, say, an early nonconference game against a seemingly overmatched Sun Belt team -- Orgeron hasn't shown that he's the man for the job yet. Those moments in between are the makings of a quality Power 5 head coach. It is maintaining an even temperament, a consistent message and a well-defined scheme. Look at Orgeron's brief tenure at LSU or his earlier stint as head coach at Ole Miss, and those things don't come to mind. His three seasons at Ole Miss began with him famously ripping his shirt off and challenging players to fight him, and ended with a 10-25 record. Currently, the Tigers lead the SEC in penalty yards, which shows a lack of discipline.
The win at Florida was nice, but it didn't speak to overarching improvement. Although the defense played well, that unit was never the real issue. The offense, on the other hand, continued to struggle, scoring just 17 points and racking up fewer yards and first downs than it did against Troy. Halfway through the season, we're still waiting on Orgeron to fulfill the unspoken mandate of ushering in a new offensive era under coordinator Matt Canada.
Is Orgeron a motivational speaker or a head coach? He can rally the troops, but can he build a program? If it's going to be fire and brimstone all the time, it's going to be one heck of a roller coaster at LSU for the foreseeable future, and weeks like last week will be more the norm than the exception to the rule.
"I can't have a bad day as long as I'm the head coach at LSU," Orgeron said late Saturday night. "I refuse."
He was sincere. If there's one thing that's true about Orgeron, it's his love for LSU. For him, it's personal.
If you're Alleva and you're on the hook for whatever happens next, what do you say?
Can you hang your hat on a program that's built on emotion rather than facts?
Interim Coach O can get the job done. When the chips are down, he can rally the troops with the best of them.
Head coach Ed Orgeron, he of the five-year contract and the hefty $12 million buyout, still has some things left to prove.

SAN JOSE, CA --Authorities in California say a shooting inside a parking garage at San Jose State University left three people dead, including the suspected gunman. Authorities do not believe Tuesday night's shooting was random although they have not released a possible motive.
School officials say students on the rest of the campus were never in danger.
It's not clear whether the shooting victims and the suspect were students at the school. Their identities have not been released. Campus police say they were alerted to the shooting on the fifth floor of the campus's main garage around 8:36 p.m. The six-story structure also houses the school's student services center.

MCFG's research covers a wide spectrum of problems in Mathematical Finance, ranging from portfolio selection, derivative pricing, credit and convertibles, to market microstructure models, robust modelling, financial stability and financial big data.
Ben Hambly, Jan Obloj and Zhongmin Qian are experts in stochastic analysis, whose work uses the latest results from that field to study backward stochastic differential equations, formulate and solve derivatives pricing models, and investigate model uncertainty and robustness.
Sam Cohen is also interested in questions of model robustness and its interaction with statistical modelling and optimal control. He also has more general interests in stochastic analysis, in particular the theory of backward SDEs. Michael Monoyios works on stochastic portfolio theory, optimal investment, valuation and hedging in incomplete markets, and on partial and inside information problems.
Álvaro Cartea works on algorithmic trading and in energy and commodity markets. Some of his work focuses on the mathematical models of algorithmic trading and also investigates the effect that computerised and high-frequency trading has on the quality of modern electronic exchanges.
In numerical methods for high-dimensional problems, Mike Giles is breaking new ground in multilevel Monte-Carlo methods, Christoph Reisinger develops novel and efficient numerical methods for high-dimensional PDEs with application to option pricing, and Terry Lyons devised the cubature method for solving stochastic differential equations.
Sam Howison and Jeff Dewynne focus on models in various markets such as energy and commodities, and on asymptotic methods for their solution.
Hanqing Jin works in developing behavioural finance theory, building on the fundamental work of Kahneman and Tversky's prospect theory and Lopes' SP/A theory. In the area of big data, Ning Wang is working on sentiment analysis based on social media data, as well as on using data to establish metrics for learning and identification purposes and Terry Lyons is developing links between rough path theory and machine learning.
Doyne Farmer, who is a member of INET (the Institute for New Economic Thinking), is developing new dynamical systems, network and simulation-based approaches to understanding and forecasting financial stability.
Please visit the individual websites of group members for more details about what we are up to.
Within the Mathematical Institute, MCFG is closely affiliated with the Stochastic Analysis and Numerical Analysis groups, and also OCIAM, the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, enabling cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques.

Fill Her Up Lyrics
Artist: 10cc
Album: ...Meanwhile
my baby told me she would meet me on the street
stood behind a lamppost, I could only see her feet
now I'm not one to grumble, don't want to be a bore
but that silly bitch Jane Fonda's got a lot to answer for
told the women of the world that the only way to win
work out 'til you burn out and you'll get super slim
i rushed her to the restaurant and called the maitre d', oh help me
fill her up, fill her up
load up, load up
fill her to the top
fill her up, fill her up
keep it coming, keep it coming
never let it stop
we staggered from the restaurant feeling in the pink
i slipped into the liquor store and gave the man a wink
my baby got the shivers, said you've got to stop and think
what you're doing to your body with this evil demon drink
said the poison that you're buying gonna eat away your brain
i said you'd better listen up before you go insane
knocked her off her soapbox, rushed her to the bar, and shouted
fill her up, fill her up
down 'em, drown 'em
fill her to the top
fill her up, fill her up
keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming
never let them stop
that's right, one more
tequilla sunrise with a little umbrella on it
okay, encore
a bloody mary with a little shot of bourbon on the side
too many moaning minnies
they're out to spoil our fun
watch out for sister anna
she's the one who bangs the drum
bang the drum
now you may think i'm worried by the screwballs that i meet
just to prove i'm not i'll throw a party in the street
everyone's invited, but you've got to take the pledge
leave behind your scruples, let me take you to the edge
everything in moderation that's the golden rule
take away all pleasure, that seems kind of cruel
to give the people power got to give them fuel, so i say
fill em up, fill em up
lead em, feed em
fill em to the top
fill em up, fill em up
everybody, everybody
never let it stop
fill em up, fill em up
lead em, feed em
fill em to the top
fill em up, fill em up
everybody, everybody
never let it stop
fill her up, fill her up... [repeat to fade]

Assigned Station, Treaty, Possessed
Issue 930 » January 20, 2017 - Rabi Al-Thani 22, 1438
Living The Quran
Assigned Station
Al-Saffat (Those Ranged in Ranks) - Chapter 37: Verse 164
"There is none among us, but that he has a known station."
These are understood to be the words of the angels, each of whom is assigned a station that is never left; some remain bowing, never straightening their spines; others remain prostrating, never lifting their heads. In the immediate context, this verse is a declaration that they, like the jinn, know that any worship of them is misplaced. More broadly speaking, that all angels have a known station indicates that they have, like all created things other than human beings and jinn, no freedom to move from one station or level of being to another. In contrast, human beings and jinn have unknown stations and only reach their final known stations at the moment of death. As Ibn Arabi writes of human beings and jinn, "[Their] stations are designated and ordained within God's Knowledge and unseen by them. Each of them reaches his station at the end of his breaths. Thus his last breath is in his known station upon which he dies. That is why they have been called to travel. Hence they travel, either upwardly by answering the summons or the revealed Law (Shariah) or downwardly by answering the command of desire whence they know not, until after the object of desire has been attained. Hence each individual among man and jinn reaches in his traveling the known station for which he was created."

"The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary" - Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Understanding The Prophet's Life
The Prophet viewed all treaties very seriously. He never broke a promise he gave to anyone, nor would he violate a treaty that had been concluded and witnessed by both parties. For example, a few moments after concluding the ?udaybiyah peace agreement with the Quraysh, a Muslim who was imprisoned and tortured in Makkah arrived and sought refuge with the Muslims. His father was the Quraysh negotiator of the agreement. He demanded that the Muslim, Abu Jandal, should be handed over to him. The Prophet requested him to allow his son to stay with the Muslims. In his appeal to the father, the Prophet said: "The ink has not dried yet on the agreement document." The father adamantly refused. The Prophet consoled Abu Jandal and handed him over to his father, telling him: "It is not right for us in our faith to go back on our pledges." [Ibn Hisham]
The Prophet's strict observance of commitments that he had made under treaties was mirrored by a serious view of any violation of treaties by the other side. Each one of the three Jewish tribes that were party to the Madinah convention was expelled from Madinah when they violated its terms and adopted a hostile attitude.
When the overwhelming majority of the population of Arabia had adopted Islam, it was God's decision to claim the entire Arabian Peninsula as a land of Islam. Therefore, all treaties that did not specify an expiry date were declared abrogated, with a notice of four months to provide the people concerned with some time to determine what they wished to do. The treaties that specified a date of expiry were to run to the end of their terms. The Prophet made the required announcement on the grand day of pilgrimage, so that it would be known to all tribes at the same time. Thus, everyone was clear about their prospects and the options available to them, and they could make their decision with full recognition of the consequences.

"Muhammad: His Character and Conduct" - Adil Salahi
I am aware that spiritual crises and psychological disorders lie behind the claim that a jinn has possessed this person or caused that person to despair. Sometimes I help them with some charms, recitations and good advice to bring about an improvement in their state. To actually dispel their illusions would take a long time. The Noble Qur'an explains to us the enmity of Iblis and his descendants towards Adam and his descendants and states that this enmity does not go beyond whispering and deceit.
In his attack Shaytan does not command any overpowering force. His power is only to render people heedless and nothing more. Shaytan does not set up any material obstacle in front of a person to stop him from going to the mosque. He does not physically push a drunkard so that he goes to drink in a bar. He possesses trickery and machination and no more than that. The reputation of the deen is harmed by the spread of these illusions among religious people. You know that the scope of material science has expanded and is well-established. When the 'supernatural' is discussed in this way, then the entire future of faith is in danger. There is no reason to accuse the jinn of something they have not done.
People in our time are suffering from alienation and stress. I have met young men and women who claimed that they have been touched by Shaytan and whose nerves were completely shattered. What they really need are kind teachers and psychologists who can play a great role in treating these disorders.

To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world.
*If you have a body, you are an athlete. - Bill Bowerman
If you have a body, you are an athlete. When Bill Bowerman made this observation many years ago, he was defining how he viewed the endless possibilities for human potential in sports. He set the tone and direction for a young company called Nike, and today those same words inspire a new generation of Nike employees. Our goal is to carry on his legacy of innovative thinking, whether to develop products that help athletes of every level of ability reach their potential, or to create business opportunities that set Nike apart from the competition and provide value for our shareholders.
It started with a handshake between two visionary Oregonians - Bowerman and his University of Oregon runner Phil Knight. They and the people they hired evolved and grew the company that became Nike from a US-based footwear distributor to a global marketer of athletic footwear, apparel and equipment that is unrivaled in the world.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
A relatively small newt with a pair of dorsolateral red stripes that extend nearly the full length of the body and tail, tending to break up on the head and tail. Stripes may be bordered with black. Short red stripes or spots may occur on the sides, and a light (not red) middorsal stripe may be present. Dorsal ground color is dark brown to olive green, sometimes with black specks. Ventral color is yellow with black specks. Dorsal and ventral colors are sharply demarcated. Adults are 2.7-4.1 cm snout to vent length (5.2-7.9 cm total length). Adult males have an orange-colored gland cluster on the posterior edge of the vent opening. Larvae are pond type with broad dorsal fins, bushy gills, and balancers when they first hatch (8 mm total length). Hatchlings have dark lateral bands that fade, being replaced by a series of light dashes on the sides as larvae mature. The juvenile eft stage is similar in color to adults, but ground color is dull orange dorsally and the skin is rougher in appearance. Some populations have both metamorphosed and gilled adults. Gilled adults are similar in coloration to metamorphosed adults, with red stripes or spots. Description from Mecham (1967), Christman and Means (1992), and Petranka (1998).
Genetically, N. peristriatus is more closely related to N. meridionalis than to N. viridescens (Reilly 1990).

November 25, 2008
Albany City Manager Alfred Lott is about to undertake a vital task-- hiring a new police chief. What kind of person should he look for? We believe he could learn a lot by examining the strengths and weaknesses of outgoing Chief James Younger.
Younger accomplished a lot in a relatively short time on the job. He took over at a time when the Albany Police Department had several dozen vacancies and was suffering through a string of embarrassing arrests of its officers.
In less than three years, he brought the department up to full staff and made sure his officers understood they had to act professionally and honorably.
He reorganized APD's management and made the department more efficient by restructuring beat patrols. He also began laying the groundwork for a new gang task force that should hit the streets next year.
But in some ways Younger never seemed comfortable in his job or committed to staying in Albany long-term. He was criticized for poor communication with other law enforcement agencies, the public, the media, and even his boss.
Our next police chief certainly needs to be an accomplished law enforcer and an excellent manager. But he or she also needs to be a strong communicator who understands the police chief is the face of the department.
We hope Mr. Lott acts quickly but wisely. We hope he picks a new police leader who will build on recent successes at APD and will work hard to strengthen public confidence in the department that works to keep our streets safe.

Kids With A Cause: Amber Ginter
Young advocates channel their love of animals into making a difference
by Arna Cohen
The Kid:
Amber Ginter, 14
The Cause:
Helping all animals through The HSUS's Mission: Humane program
Why We Love Her:
Profiled on the HSUS HumaneTeen website, this young leader has inspired others her age to take on projects that help animals. "I want people to see that no matter how young you are, you can always make a difference," she says.
Amber Ginter has much in common with her fellow members of the HSUS Youth Advisory Board. A volunteer for animals since she began helping out at her local shelter at age 8, the Kingston, Ohio, teenager is constantly juggling school, friends, and family with the parade of animal-related projects she takes on.
What distinguishes Amber from other young advocates is that she's the first student to complete the HSUS student outreach program's Mission: Humane, a series of five projects with themes tied to major HSUS campaigns. Fight Fur reveals the true cost of using animal fur in fashion; Friends for Hens discusses the cruelty of battery cage egg production; Help Homeless Pets works to end pet overpopulation and support shelter adoptions; Combat Cruelty teaches kids to recognize the signs of animal abuse and neglect; and Shoot to Save Wildlife promotes peaceful coexistence between humans and their wild neighbors.
Action guides and fact sheets are available on the HumaneTeen website, and HSUS student outreach staff are just a phone call or e-mail away to provide advice. Students receive a reward for each project completed; for finishing them all, they earn certificates of achievement and even more loot.
For her Fight Fur project , Amber organized a Coats for Cubs drive in the community, collecting 30 donated fur coats that The HSUS sent on to wildlife rehabilitators to fashion into substitute "mothers" for orphaned baby wildlife. For Friends for Hens, she persuaded her family to go cage-free by researching local options for buying cage-free eggs, then wrote a letter to the local newspaper about her research and what consumers could do to hasten the phaseout of battery cages on egg farms.
Amber also wrote letters to the editor about the plight of captive primates used in laboratory research, as well as the brutal practices of shark finning and fishing tournaments and how they could spell doom for several shark species. She then wrote to her state lawmakers, urging them to support related legislation.
Amber focused on coyotes for her Shoot for Wildlife project, again writing to the local newspaper with pleas for residents to be tolerant and a list of ways to decrease conflict. "There may be a problem in Ohio with wild animals, but that does not mean that we need to hurt them," she wrote. "One way we can protect pets is to not leave pet food and water bowls outside. They attract coyotes to come near your house. So next time you see a coyote, do not hurt him. That goes for any animal as well. We need animals in our world."
Her favorite project by far, Amber says, was Help Homeless Pets. She and a group of friends made treats for dogs at the local shelter, walked and bathed the dogs, and made bandannas for them to wear during adoption events. They also created and distributed fliers encouraging community members to visit the shelter when thinking about getting a pet.
Amber may have finished Mission: Humane, but her work on behalf of animals is far from over. "[Kids] can think of their own ideas after they've done all the projects," she says. "Just because there are no more listed doesn't mean you have to stop. You can keep on trying and inspiring others."

text: Swedish church pushes for neutral gender reference to Jesus | 30 Dec 2017 | A church in a Swedish city has defended its choice of gender-neutral pronoun 'hen' in reference to Jesus in an advertisement. The church insists the word gives "new perspective." In November, the largest religious institution in the country, the Church of Sweden, advised its clergy to avoid terms like 'Lord' and 'He' in worship services in order to not highlight that God is male, in the new version of a handbook on how to conduct services. The move has triggered a backlash, with critics saying the change undermines the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity and politicizes faith.

Some Word Paintings
This is a fun process I am just starting to work with. It was inspired by an IG post by Stephanie Ackerman of Homegrown Hospitality. She didn't explain her process, so I just sort of winged it. But here's what I did:
1. Painted some Dollar Store signs and a wood panel with black gesso. (Remembered to take a picture after I'd already added some color)
2. Painted lots of colors and designs all over them. (I knew two of them would have Christmas words on them so I painted those backgrounds mainly red and green, but in the end it doesn't really show through as much as I thought it would. Any colors would work).
3. Painted a soft coat of thin white (craft) paint over the whole thing. Sorry no pic of this step.
4. Did the lettering with a paint pen.
5. Did another layer of white over the whole thing going around and inside the lettering and scallops. Tip: on two of the signs (You are Brave and 'tis the Season) I used the thin craft paint again and on one (Joy to the World) I used a heavy body acrylic paint (the kind in a tube). I like the look of the heavy body acrylic more. I'll do that from now on. It let a bit more of the background show through.
6. I popped the '''tis the Season" wood panel in a white frame I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby. And I drilled holes and attached a wire hanger on the other two. And of course I added ribbon and fabric. I can't not.
The hanging signs are for my sisters for Christmas and the framed sign is for me cause apparently, I'm REALLY doing a lot of holiday painting for myself this year. Stay tuned for more holiday paintings to come...

I took pictures as I went if you want to see my process.
1. First I draw the main title and I usually put a cloud or box or square around it so it doesn't get lost in the rest of the lettering.

Paint Color Tags - Let's Get Organized
These masonite tags* were leftovers from an old project and my husband just cut them down a bit for me. They used to be 3"x3" square. They're now about 1.75" x 3".
my Glasses Girls. I didn't stick to it exactly, but it was a great jumping off point. (I went back and painted the sides of the tags later--they just looked too sloppy this way. And I wanted to be able to see from the top which color was which).
*A litte bit more about these tags. Years ago I made chalkboard tags from masonite squares my husband had cut for me. I sold them in groups of 3-5. An international company contacted me and wanted an order of 500 tags to tie to a CD they were about to launch. They said if all went well, they'd be ordering 500 more. So my husband decided to cut and drill all 1,000 at one time since the equipment was already set up, etc. Well, the second order ended up not happening. (I hope that doesn't mean the CD launch didn't go well...I don't really know). But I found myself with A LOT of little masonite tags. Throughout the years, I've made a bunch of things with them.
Below are some pics if you're interested. As you can see, I DO NOT let things go to waste and if there's something I can paint on, add paper to, and/or add ribbon to, I'll do it!

A Gift for My Niece
This is a larger painting -- 20" x 20". And according to my sister, my niece was excited and said "I know exactly where it should go in my room!" when she opened it. That makes me SOOO happy!! I'm always so happy when my paintings find a good home.

A Painting for a Good Cause
Thursday, October 26, 2017
A Gift For My Sister
The painting is 7"x5" and I did it on a wood sign purchased on clearance from Kohls. I bought a bunch of these box signs and painted them with first white, then black gesso. And they made a great painting surface! I like finding new uses for things and finding inexpensive things to paint on!

Newest Painting - Glasses Girls No. 1
I will take pictures of the series once they are all done and hung. But to get an idea of size -- the glasses are 22" across. So for me this is a BIG painting. I usually work smaller than this. But I like the impact of a larger painting.
18" x 24" acrylic and wood on canvas
She's based on a sketch I did years ago but have always wanted to turn into a painting.

Pitfalls of Creating and Implementing Multi-script Fonts
Joshua Hadley - Agfa Monotype Corporation
As the number of defined code points in The Unicode Standard grows, there is a corresponding desire to have fonts that can display the characters. However, there are many unforeseen consequences of packing numerous characters from different scripts -- many of which have widely varying properties and behaviors -- into a single font file. I'll examine some of the more common and vexing issues we've encountered in building large multi-script fonts, as well as share some observations of how customers have implemented them. I'll also show some examples and suggest some practical workarounds.
