Two days ago, we looked at some incredibly good gadgets from Chef's Planet. Yesterday, we looked at two bad gadgets, complete with video. And today we will look at two I find ugly.
Why are we doing all this looking?
I am tired of the hit-and-miss of gadget shopping, never knowing if a new purchase is going to be find or fallacy. See, I figured if I could just find a company I could rely on for amazing gadgets then . . . well, you can see where I am going with this.
And, of course, details on the Now It's Your Turn contest where you can win the most expensive item reviewed all week is coming up.
So, without further ado, today I bring you . . .
The ugly
I was absolutely intrigued by the whisk ($10, pictured above). It looked, as they said, "squidlike {sic}," making it the most unique whisk I had ever seen. Even better, they said it "... aerates mixtures in half the time of other whisks ..." A time-saver. Excellent!
So I threw a couple of eggs in a bowl and whipped. Nothing special. Nothing fast. Did it again, only this time with my regular whip. Nothing special. Nothing fast.
Erm, positive thing to say: This whisk is nice and light. Erm, reality check: It was no better or faster for me. And, you know, it does look squid-like (and you might want to tell your copywriter that "squidlike" is not a word).
The ugly: Part two
I was also intrigued by the potato masher ($10). The idea behind this masher is that instead of mashing the potatoes by bring the masher up and down, you mash them by twirling the masher. Pretty neat, eh?
I could not get it to work.
Part of the problem is the size of the area that mashes the potatoes. At 5" across, you need a bowl that has at least a 5" interior base; although larger would be better. Ideally, the base would be flat, or fairly flat. The bowl I would normally use had a rounded base, which meant any potatoes under the center of the masher just got pounded, not twirled.
I moved everything over to a flat-bottom bowl. Life did not improve.
Actually, the only way I could get the masher to do anything was to give in and just pound the hell out of the potatoes. And this ended up being worse than a regular masher. Why? With a regular masher, the mashed potato bits are free to come up from either side of the prongs. While potato bits on the circumference of with this masher can escape from too much pounding, the bits under the thick center just get compressed into a potato patty.
Most unpleasant.
The conclusion
Well, it doesn't look like I have found my ideal company, quite yet. But all is not lost. Chef's Planet had some winners I am delighted with and they do get big points for innovation (you gotta respect someone who tries). And now that they are on my radar, there are a few other things I'd like to look at. But, first, would you like to give one of their items a whirl? Well, you can if you like . . .
The super duper totally unique Now It's Your Turn contest
. . . Will be announced tomorrow. Yeah, you can win a free, free!, FREE kitchen gadget. And, yeah, there is something else I'm not telling you. Something good. So stay tuned. All will be revealed.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said it is wrong for the President, who himself is a candidate in the forthcoming elections, to be summoning the electoral umpire at will, especially when such meetings are populated by his appointees.
"Without the representatives of other political parties attending such meetings, irrespective of whether or not it is aimed at briefing security chiefs on the preparations for the polls, the ruling PDP and its presidential candidate are seeking to gain undue advantage over others ahead of the elections.APC said whatever briefings must be given by the INEC chairman on the elections must have in attendance the representatives of all the political parties that will participate in the elections.
"It is like the referee in a football match meeting with key officials of one of the teams ahead of the match. This is against the spirit of transparency and fairness and must stop forthwith.
"Had the representatives of other political parties apart from the PDP (the President is the leader of the PDP) attended the meeting, the widespread speculation that Jega's life and job were threatened if he fails to drop the use of the card reader, as well as circulating reports that he will be removed before Saturday, would not have happened," it said.
It also decried clandestine meetings between some key presidency and INEC officials with a view to rigging the elections, warning the presidency to steer clear of the electoral officials if indeed they are desirous of a free, fair, credible and peaceful elections.

Hanging on the peg, standing in the corner of the shed, or laying at the edge of ready field—the scythe called to me. The S-curve of its body, thin and strong like a young athlete, a figure skater that comes alive in the strong hands and able command of a simple and perfect man.
It calls to me, still a boy. Watching Dad's few strokes in two-step cadence-count through grain by the corner of the shed and metal gate showed me its grace and power. I watched expertise, and knew it too was mine with the scythe of hand and heart. Perfect balance, saber-sharp blade, the mating of handles with hands—man and implement—one, in a labor-love affair. Grass, grain. Clover, or vetch—command of the scythe in harvest of earth's lush cover. Delight in this, and the beauty of the planets in motion. It was all mine—I knew. Long strokes, thin bite. Draw the tip of the blade right to left, cutting clean, and swing it back so its dull edge re-rights the uncut stand pulled by the previous swing. Pull, backstroke. Pull and back. Clean cut, sharp swath, five foot wide, and back again. Gives more energy then it takes. Stopping only for breaks of admiration and Mom's lemonade.
The dance of the scythe is a corner of heaven called then by its name on the farm. We called it work. But I knew better. This was love of the dance—the dance of the scythe.

Mafia III PC Performance Review
Published: 10th October 2016 | Source: OC3D | Price: |
When looking at Mafia III's PC performance the first thing that we will say is that the game is a demanding beast to tame, requiring the sheer might of a GTX 1080 in order to deliver a consistent 60+FPS at 1080p High settings. Some may say that for this reason that Mafia III is badly optimised, but at the same time the PC gaming market does require ultra-demanding titles like this in order to push the industry forward.
As a game Mafia III is very fun to play, having an interesting story, fun gameplay and an excellent soundtrack, which makes the PC version's performance issues all the more disappointing. If you want to play Mafia III you will need to be willing to play it at low settings, especially if you want to play it at a constant 60FPS.
Now we get into a very contentious point, framerate. Mafia III is a difficult game to run at 60FPS, requiring a GTX 1060 for 1080p 60FPS at low settings and a GTX 1080 for 1080p high settings, which will be beyond the capabilities of a lot of systems. Thankfully 1080p 30FPS gameplay is very easily achievable, with our GTX 960 and R9 380 easily achieving 40+ FPS framerates at 1080p Low settings.
Looking at our results we can tell that the game's minimum system requirements are intended for 1080p 30FPS gameplay at low settings, with the game's recommended system requirements being intended for 1080p 60FPS at low settings. In Mafia III there is little visual difference when moving from low to high, so the higher settings should only be used by those who have high-end systems.
When comparing AMD and Nvidia GPUs Mafia III seems to have no preference, with our GTX 1060 and RX 480 offering very similar performance throughout testing. The same can be said when comparing the GTX 980Ti and the R9 Fury X, or when comparing the Pascal GTX 1070 to the Maxwell GTX 980Ti. Hanger 13 have made Mafia III a very level playing field for GPUs, regardless of generation or brand.
Mafia III's aesthetic is somewhat ruined by how blurred or muddy the visuals can be, lacking the usual sharpness that a resolution of 1440p or 4K can provide. The game is using heavy Anti-Aliasing techniques like FXAA and TAA that limits aliasing at the expense of visual sharpness. This is a huge problem as the game has no way of turning AA off entirely or switching to a more demanding, less blur-inducing AA variant. This lack of choice will no doubt annoy a lot of PC gamers.
This game is demanding, but now thanks to the game's new framerate patch FPS junkies will be able to play the game at a steady 60+FPS if they have powerful enough hardware. PC gamers will need to be willing to turn down a lot of the game's graphical settings in order to achieve a higher framerate on lower end hardware, but those with higher end parts should be able to achieve 60+FPS framerates if they are running a resolution that is lower than 4K.
To conclude Mafia III is a demanding title, requiring some beefy hardware in order to run smoothly at 60FPS and some monstrously powerful hardware to max out at 60FPS. Those with lower end PCs will have to accept 30FPS gameplay with Mafia III, which means that some gamers may want to wait until their next upgrade before they try this game out.
You can join the discussion on Mafia III's PC performance on the OC3D Forums.

I have an i5-6600k and a GTX 1070 SC, running Mafia III at 1080p with unlimited framerate option and all settings on high my game never drops below 70fps and IMO Mafia is extremely well optimized, I'm quite surprised at your conclusion.

Thanks for the links though. :)JeffNot really - the whole chain is the Wu Pi Te Shao Mountains. Parts of it have their own, 'lesser' names, but the whole range is known by that.I just wanted to get it both centralized (east-to-west), so its really remote (in 'the middle of the impassable mountains'), and also on the glacier itself, which is another very good defense against Torillians accidentally stumbling upon it. If we moved it further south, we start to encroach on other 'realms' within the mountain chain, like the fabled land of Langdarma & the Kingdom of Nix, etc (from Double Diamond novels and the Blood & Magic video game). There is some back-and-forth going on across those mountains down there, so I felt it was best to just avoid the south entirely. The only thing near my location is the Cave of Monkey, and he probably hangs out at the bar in the Starport (I'm picturing a 'Creature Catina' a'la SW). _________________________________________________________________________________________________I have some purely homebrew lore myself to go with The Dock - its the top of the highest mountain in the range (ya know... closer to space an all that - I'm thinking at least a third higher than Everest), and the Arcane (Mercane) have added some magitech machinery to provide a stable atmosphere (so no breathing problems due to altitude). In fact, it would be an adaption of a SJ-helm, because I am picturing a 'bubble' around the starport (maybe something thats a cross between a helm and mythal-like field). Anyhow, the mountain's 'peak' is actually a large, completely flat plain, and thats how the Arcane found it (I have more about that...). You see, a Netherese arcanist - wanting to build the largest enclave possible - found the largest mountain he could and sheared off the top.But as I said, that part if PURE hmebrew - it connects to some stuff I did in K-T with an Archwizard named Enrev Seluj.

quote:Originally posted by AuldDragonI don't really have any opinion on post-Sundering stuff, but I will say anyone who "conquered" The Dock would find themselves on the bad side of the Arcane, which is a sure fire way to never get good dealings on Spelljammer trade. No new helms, ships, or equipment from the Arcane, and the Arcane would likely lean on other traders to shun them as well. You do NOT want to be on the bad side of the Arcane.Also, the Arcane most definitely can afford to hire a large platoon of heavily armed Giff* (or two, or four, or ten...) to take back The Dock.Jeff*And, of course, adventurers, should a DM want to turn this into an adventure rather than just setting information.

Re: Charging timer question

I'm using 120V so the estimated time to charge is about 22 hours so I do not expect to charge to 100%. However, when I plug the charger in at 8:45pm it starts charging right away. I tried twice using two different start times but same occurred. I checked the current time and it is correct. Any idea why my timer doesn't seem to be working? I had a 2013 SL that I traded in, and it's timer worked perfectly, however Nissan has changed the timer software. Thanks.
The timer is actually "On" in the menu? Maybe, because it's trying to charge to 100%, it's starting immediately to attempt that, instead of obeying the timer's start time. I think I've seen that before: if the start time won't allow the car to charge to the limit, it will start before the "Start" setting...
Yes it's "on" in the menu, maybe that's it but the timer on the 2017 Leaf is way more confusing than on the 2013 models. If it's doing that it is very silly, I don't need 100% SOC and want to start after 9pm to get my off peak rate. Not sure I like Nissan's logic on this one. I'll keep playing with it to see how I can get it to do what I want. Thanks

Williamsport's Michael Griffee will spend next week in Phoenix, not on a family vacation but on a personal golf excursion.
Griffee, a graduate of Williamsport High and a freshman at Hagerstown Community College, was among the qualifiers in individual competition at the National Junior College Athletic Association Golf Tournament that will run for four days beginning Tuesday.
Along with HCC athletic director Brian Beck, Griffee rolls into Phoenix for practice rounds Monday and Tuesday to get a feel for the Palm Valley Golf Club, a 7,015-yard, par-72 layout.

This paper reports a theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of pulse tube refrigerator. A concept of steps is introduced for the derivation of cold end temperature with zero heat pumping rate (Tco ). This relation indicates that Tco depends not only on the length ratio, hot end temperature, and ratio of specific heats of gas used, but also on the pressure ratio employed. An empirical relation for heat pumping rate is also suggested. Experimental investigation indicates that there exists an optimum hot end length and that the optimum speed decreases with increase in the total length of pulse tube.

Yes, folks, it's that time again, the weekly Friday Fictioneers courtesy of Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. 100(ish)-word microfiction based on a photo prompt. Here's my latest humble submission to this fun challenge, entitled, "Warts, and all."
"I don't wanna. Girls are icky."
The young frog prince stared dolefully out between the pale green shutters of the Frog Palace at the group of village girls lined up at the gate below, his wide, flat lips pursed into a petulant frown.
His mother just smiled. "Sweetheart, you know it's the rules. Every year on your birthday, you have to be kissed by girls from the kingdom to see if it will break the spell."
At nine years old, he just didn't understand the appeal. "Why? I like being a frog. It's fun. More fun than kissing a bunch of stupid girls."
His mother just laughed. "That's what your father thought, too." She leaned over, gently kissed his bumpy, green head and whispered, "But I changed his mind about that, didn't I?"
"Harrumph. Icky."

Kumaraswamy accuses BJP of offering Rs 100 crore each to his MLAs
Bengaluru: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy today accused the BJP(Bharatiya Janata Party) of offering Rs 100 crore each to his party MLAs to join them.
Speaking to reporters here after his election as leader of the JD(S) Legislature Party, he alleged that BJP was making attempts to lure his party MLAs with monetary offers.
Addressing the media, Kumaraswamy said,"JD(S) MLAs are being offered Rs 100 crore each. Where is this black money coming from? They are supposedly the servers of poor people and they are offering money today. Where are the income tax officials," reported ANI.
I have been offered from both sides. I am not saying this loosely. There's a black spot on my father's career because of my decision to go with the BJP in 2004 & 2005. So God has given me opportunity to remove this black spot. So I am going with Congress: HD Kuamaraswamy, JD(S) pic.twitter.com/4yFGlNEioZ
— ANI (@ANI) May 16, 2018
The BJP was trying to "misuse" its power being in office at the Centre, he charged.
He said that the national party is in a "hurry" to form the government in Karnataka despite falling short of numbers, and resorting to "horsetrading" by trying to lure his party MLAs with money.
Kumaraswamy said the Congress-JD(S) alliance had a "clear majority" with the support of 116 MLAs.
"Without the numbers, how can they (BJP) form the government?" he asked.The JD(S) leader said he was not out to grab power.
As the state Assembly polls gave a fractured verdict, the JD(S) and Congress have come together and petitioned Governor Vajubhai Vala to allow them to form its government.

It is a favourite location for those birders in the know and is a great place to meet other birders.It provides some excellent opportunities to photograph the resident pied flycatchers and redstarts plus many other visiting and resident birds.It was a bright day but with still a cold wind from the north.On arrival we were greeted by the call of a cuckoo plus a singing whinchat at the top of a pathside tree.A pair of cuckoos flew past and there were numbers of singing redstarts and pied flycatchers.We spent a number of interesting hours at this delightful spot and I managed some reasonable images particularly of the pied flycatchers which came close.Shown below are the best of the pied fly shots interspersed with redstarts and the singing whinchat.I look forward to returning to this lovely valley and it's delightful birds at a future date.

A Wonderful Resource
Anyone who has any interest in cinematography should really check out the goldmine of learning that is Roger Deakin's forum. The oppurtunity to ask questions and receive answers from one of the greatest Dps of our time (No Country for Old Men, The Assasination of Jesse James and many many more) is truly a unique learning source.
The website was offline for some time (due to an interfering user), but luckily for us it has reopened, and Roger is once again fielding questions from amateurs and established dp's with immediacy and in detail.
Yesterday I asked him about the lighting set up for my favorite scene in Jesse James (pic below), and a few hours later he replied. There aren't many professions where you can pick the brains of those at the top of your field.

So proud I came up with this recipe on my own. Well I got some help from google of course! It's been about 2 years now since I made the switch to the paleo lifestyle. I'm really enjoying it. It wasn't easy in fact it was hard work. But now I've come to a place of enjoying cooking. I have a system in place and I'm really organized. Being on top of things is the key to success. I started out just following other people recipes and eventually I was able to create my own. I take so much pride it that! I still use other people recipes though because over the years I have found some great meals. I hope you enjoy this creation and come back for more!

Food for thought from E.J. Dionne:
A media environment that tilts to the right is obscuring what President Obama stands for and closing off political options that should be part of the public discussion.
Yes, you read that correctly: If you doubt that there is a conservative inclination in the media, consider which arguments you hear regularly and which you don't. When Rush Limbaugh sneezes or Newt Gingrich tweets, their views ricochet from the Internet to cable television and into the traditional media. It is remarkable how successful they are in setting what passes for the news agenda.
The power of the Limbaugh-Gingrich axis means that Obama is regularly cast as somewhere on the far left end of a truncated political spectrum.
... Democrats are complicit in building up Gingrich and Limbaugh as the main spokesmen for the Republican Party, since Obama polls so much better than either of them. But the media play an independent role by regularly treating far-right views as mainstream positions and by largely ignoring critiques of Obama that come from elected officials on the left.

Stephen King, I've come to think, is at his most adept when writing in the midlength range. His big novels — "The Stand," "It," "11/22/63" — have always felt a little baggy to me, while his shortest work (he has published more than 200 stories, gathered in a number of collections) can feel sketchy, more idea than nuanced narrative.
That middle zone, however: His finest efforts emerge from this territory, shorter novels "Misery," "Joyland" and "The Shining," novellas such as "The Body" or the chilling "A Good Marriage." In this material, King has the breadth to do what he does best, which is to evoke the very human underpinnings of terror, while also remaining constrained by certain limitations of space.
As he explains in "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams," which gathers 20 pieces of fiction, along with brief reflections on their composition, "Only through fiction can we think about the unthinkable, and perhaps obtain some sort of closure." The key word there is not the unthinkable in which King traffics, but closure, the closure of the midrange form.
"The Bazaar of Bad Dreams" illustrates this formulation neatly, since the sharpest work here is that approaching novella-length. Long stories such as "Ur" (originally written as a promotion for Amazon's Kindle) or "Obits" echo with depth and drama, fleshed out with character details, three-dimensional setups, the landscapes of a fully realized world.
In "Bad Little Kid" — inspired, King informs us, by the Beatles' 1965 cover of Larry Williams' "Bad Boy" — a man convicted of child murder tells his story: It was not a child he killed, or so he insists, but some sort of shade, a demon that had hounded him since childhood. Insanity? His defense attorney thinks so, until in the aftermath of his client's execution he receives a piece of evidence suggesting that the condemned man was indeed telling the truth.
"Mile 81" involves a classic King construction, that of the bored kid who goes somewhere he shouldn't — in this case, an abandoned highway rest area — and ends up staring down an evil that the adults can't, or won't, recognize. To call "Mile 81" a coming-of-age story is not exactly accurate; it unfolds over a single afternoon. But for its protagonist, grade-schooler Pete Simmons, the mysteries of the world, both pleasurable and terrifying, bring him to a point of reckoning, after which he will never be the same.
This sense of catharsis, of epiphany even, occupies the center of much of King's fiction; he is an old-fashioned storyteller, after all. Not for him, the tricks and games of metafiction, although his introductory notes here — both to the collection as a whole and to each individual story — render him a central player in "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams."
That's something of a mixed blessing, for as King understands, writing fiction is difficult to explain. "[S]tories," he writes, commenting on a tragic little saga called "Under the Weather," "are like dreams. Everything is deliciously clear while the process is ongoing, but all that remains when the story's finished are a few fading traces."
And yet, those traces … that's the idea, the reason we read and write, the reason made-up stories move us, because they are about a deeper reality. King is a perfect case in point: We know the events he describes can't actually happen, that there are no demons, except for those we carry in our souls.
Here, though, King's constant authorial presence can't help but pull us out, disrupting the pattern of the dream. Each time he inserts himself, we are reminded of the construction of the fiction, with the author front and center when it ought to be the other way around.
It's unfortunate, for there are a lot of good stories in this collection: moving, disturbing and in between. "Summer Thunder" imagines a post-apocalyptic world of startling beauty; "The world was a dying hulk," King tells us, "but the silence had been banished, at least for the time being, and that was a good thing." In "Morality," a marriage goes south when a wife falls prey to the imprecations of her employer — not sexual, but ethical. The idea is that we are all complicit, fundamentally, in what happens to us, that the stain of sin is a collective one.
This is not to suggest that all the pieces in "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams" carry equal resonance: "Blockade Billy," a baseball fantasia originally published by Maryland's Cemetery Dance Publications in 2010, remains minor, as does "Drunken Fireworks," which appeared as an audio book this summer, while the two poems, "The Bone Church" and "Tommy," are entirely negligible.
Still, that's what happens in a collection, especially a collection such as this, which comes framed more as a grab bag than a coherent effort in its own right. That's the message of the title, which suggests a gathering of curios, set out for our perusal in the bazaar of the author's mind.
When King gives himself a little room to move, the effects are not only unnerving but also deeply human, a series of riffs on love and loss. "They smile into each other's used faces," he writes in "Herman Wouk Is Still Alive," about two aging poets in the moments before and after they witness a horrific highway accident. "… Phil is both surprised and not surprised. At his age — late, but not quite last call — you take what you can and are happy to get it." (p. 274)
Closure again, or perhaps it's just the storytelling impulse. Either way, the same holds true for many of the characters King imagines into life.

This year we will be using Eureka Math as our school curriculum. I know the math looks different from the ways many of us learned it in our youth, but math is math. Our goal is to make sure students are challenged in their thinking and exploring a variety of strategies and methods. Our goal is not necessarily the right answer, but exploring the process and analyzing the process to see how our children learn.

The Old-New Start8:58 pm
I started this blog way back in 2008. A lot has changed since then, a lot hasn't. When I started this, I was but a silly girl in her teens. Now I'm 21 & still rather silly with the same ol' dreams of actually becoming an author (so what if I'm not really working for it, eh?). Back then, I remember, I was really sceptical about this blog. You see, I was sceptical about blogs per say. I thought it was a waste of time (as I write stuff anyways, so what's the point of publishing it for a bunch of people I don't even know...or so I thought). I had laughed at the mere ideas of a blog. Then, in my 2nd year of college, I was fascinated by them. Two reasons:
1. I went halfway in my trials of doing a paper on Blogs & other personal narratives.
2. I came across a blog (which, to my best of knowledge, has ceased to exist since more than a year, and even if it did, it wouldn't make a difference now) which made my mind travel in directions and exotic places which were alien to me. It made me fall in love with law forever.
Also, those were the days when quite a lot of people around me wanted me to realise my literary ambitions more than myself (they are still more enthusiastic but I guess they know I'm not easy) and friends started attending seminars (which I made excuses to get out of) on how to become a successful writer. Funnily (or not so funnily, depending upon your sense of humor), all these seminars told my friends one thing: that it is advisable to keep a blog so that one gets an idea of how the unknown masses react to your writings.
With that purpose in mind, I had started this blog. At the time I had thought that I wouldn't even update it as regularly but I've shocked myself and pleasantly so. This blog has been a great outlet for screaming my lungs out about Feminism and other stuff that grabbed my fancy.
Sadly though, offlate, this blog of mine, which I've grown to, has been turned from a literary medium of thoughts to a public forum to discuss my personal life which are totally unrelated to my posts. This includes questions about who I might be dating. I don't see why random unknown people would be influenced by it & if I ever want to disclose information about my personal life, i will. On my own accord.
Please, a small request, do not make it an imitation of a social network.
The past year has given me a lot & taken some away. All for the best, I guess. I still have all the faith in God, despite whatever one might say. I should be off now...reading Chocolat these days & have Tokyo Cancelled waiting in line. Hope you all have a great year ahead. Have a jolly time.

Trips to Florida and California were called off. Improvements to campus parking lots and roads have been delayed. And the coffee cups at staff workshops are empty.
Across the University of Missouri campus, departments and colleges have sliced more than $5.3 million from their spending plans this year by canceling travel, postponing capital improvements and purchasing fewer supplies, including forgoing the coffee once served at employee training seminars. The savings that have accumulated since January have been set aside in case the state withholds higher-education funding either this fiscal year, which ends June 30, or in the coming budget year.
�Hopefully there won�t be withholdings this year, but we don�t know what FY10 has in store for us,� MU Budget Director Tim Rooney said. �We may need some funds to access on an emergency basis for any changes in state funding in FY10. It�s a safety net, a cushion to respond to immediate changes in state funding.�
Across the board, the university has reduced travel expenses this year by more than $1 million, according to savings worksheets filled out by each department. The Vice Chancellor of Development and Alumni Relations office sliced $86,000 from its travel budget by canceling events and Jefferson Club trips in Naples, Fla.; Palm Springs, Calif.; and Dallas. Though Jefferson Club members � MU�s top donors � pay their own travel expenses, the university had budgeted more than $35,000 to send administrators to those three out-of-state events. The athletics department also saved $67,000 in trip expenses by limiting the number of administrators who travel to games and conferences.
Delaying the purchase of new equipment is saving the university $1.26 million this year. For instance, Jesse Auditorium was supposed to get a new, more environmentally friendly colored lighting system, but that $25,000 purchase was canceled. �We�d still like to do it at some point,� said manager John Murray. Right now, only about half of the existing lighting equipment works, which means campus and community groups that use the stage have limited colored lighting options, he said.
Supply budgets have been slashed by $785,000 as offices cut back on mailed materials and printing expenses. The Chancellor�s Annual Report, which came out earlier this month, was smaller this year, and fewer copies were published, to save $15,000. Other publications and newsletters are going to online-only formats.
Departments are saving roughly $2 million by not replacing aging computers, not hiring professional consultants and cutting other miscellaneous expenses. The School of Nursing, for instance, pledged to save an extra $1,000 by eliminating roses and refreshments from its May 9 commencement.
Rooney praised administrators and faculty for making tough budget choices. �I�m really proud of the way that this came about,� he said. �People really rolled up their sleeves on this and were very cooperative. They understand the potential gravity of the situation: that we just need to be prepared and not stick our heads in the sand and pretend there�s no problem. It was very forward thinking.�
Colleges and departments likely won�t see their budgets reduced next year, but Rooney said administrators and faculty will continue to watch expenditures. �We haven�t gotten into anything specific for FY10 yet,� he said. The charge to staff will be �just try to hold off on expenses as much as you can.�

CALLS made to expand a community hospital have been rebuffed in a 'devastating' blow for healthcare, according to a council leader.
Fareham Borough Council's leader Sean Woodward said the authority wanted overnight beds added and a maternity unit, elderly ward and minor injuries unit brought in to Fareham Community Hospital.
He said the expansion to the hospital in Sarisbury, which currently does not have overnight patients, would alleviate pressure on health services, including QA hospital, which will be exacerbated by the 6,000-home town Welborne, north of Fareham, due to start next year.
However, the Fareham & Gosport Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which pays for health services, said there are 'no plans' to expand the site.
Cllr Woodward said: 'It is devastating for healthcare in Fareham and it is a waste of land.
'It is a very expensive unit given the usage it is getting.
'It needs to expand considerably as at the moment it is just half a hospital.'
Dr Paul Howden, a GP and clinical lead on planned care and long-term conditions for Fareham & Gosport CCG, said the NHS has a 'clear and long-term, commitment' to increase the range of services available at the hospital, but there were no plans for inpatient beds.
He said: 'We know that people in Fareham want NHS services to be available as close to their home as is possible, and so we are always looking to bring new services into the town's hospital.
'In the first half of this year the NHS has supported the Alzheimer's Society to start a new weekly dementia advice service there, and brought in a new service to support carers, and other developments are expected very soon.
'The effort to maximise the use of the hospital goes on, and it is a central part of our plans to move more NHS care into communities.
'However, when we are planning the right healthcare for our CCG area we have to balance the desire to deliver more NHS services locally, against the overriding need to ensure that those services are both safe and sustainable.
'We have to continually weigh up how to prioritise our spending – we cannot fund everything and that means difficult choices have to be made.
'Fareham Community Hospital remains a crucial site for us, and although there are currently no plans to open a walk-in centre, or for the unit to have inpatient bed capacity, we will keep trying to accelerate our efforts to attract new services into the town.'
Fareham Community Hospital is currently used in the daytime for community care and other services such as physiotherapy, mental health outpatients and occupational therapy.
The building, which opened in May 2010, is 2,700sq ft in size.
However, even if the hospital was to expand, not everybody thinks the plan would go far enough to cope with the growth of the population.
Independent councillor Nick Gregory, who was against allowing Welborne to proceed, said: 'It is not enough. One of the biggest issues already is the accessibility of Fareham Community Hospital due to the lack of public transport. That is just one area of concern. Welborne will have a phenomenal impact on the local facilities like doctors' surgeries. I know doctors' surgeries that are already running at capacity and that is without the extra 6,000 homes being built.
'QA Hospital is at capacity, too. It is the tip of the iceberg.
'Yes, the community hospital is under-utilised however even if we could put in extra beds it would not make a vast amount of difference due to Fareham's predicted population growth.'

Year of the Dragon Hunt
Posted by Chic Aeon in hunts on Monday, January 23, 2012
This morning I reported on some hunt skins with one being on the Year of the Dragon hunt. Happily Sami got enthused and decided to try out the hunt. She did a smallish section in the middle and came away with a few nice things. Her report is that the hunt includes many stores with perhaps new designers. The hunting wasn't too hard but the hints were of importance. Her favorite fines included this Tai Chi set (unisex) from Cilian'gel. A short dress is available for gals in the same basic style. The sleeping panda bear with hold pose for photos is from Posh!
RnB Designs Furniture. The set weighs in at 25 prims.
The tea service (linked to the table) is outstanding.
I will definitely be going over to look for this. It is a no copy item, so pick up two. You never know when a database meltdown or other tragedy might occur.
If Sami continues on her hunting journey I will be sure and update you with her favorite finds.

Mozambique is an island country. Bantu people were the first who settled on the island. It is considered that they came through Zambezi River valley and settled into the coastal areas between the 1st and 4th century AD. Bantu people were ironworkers and farmer.
In 1498, Portuguese explorer came in Mozambique. Portuguese expanded their influence and exercised their power through the individual settlers. By the 20th century the administration of the Portuguese had been shifted in the many of the large companies such as the Zambezi Company, Mozambique Company and the Niassa Company.
Capital: Maputo
Currency: Mozambican metical
President: Armando Guebuza
Official language: Portuguese Language
Government: Unitary state, Presidential system, Constitutional republic, Republic
The north central region of Nampula and Zambezia covers the most population of the Mozabique. Being a four million in population, Macua is the dominant group of the north part of the nation where as the Zambezi valley shelters mostly the Sena & Shona groups. The southern Mozambique is dominated by Shangaan or Tsonga group. The other groups of the country are:
The 99.66 % of the total population of Mozambique is covered by Bantu People and rest of 0.34% includes:
The official language of the country is Portuguese and it is widely spoken in the nation. But the Bantu people speak different languages such as Makhuwa, Ndau, Sena and Shangaan.
Mozambique exercises the democratic government and its democracy is based on multi party system. Executive branch of the company is comprised with a president, a prime minister and a Council of Ministers. The nation includes two assemblies- the municipal assemblies and the National Assembly. The judiciary of the country is having following courts:
The culture of Mozambique is diverse because of various groups living on the island. Makonde, located in the north of the country, is famous for the art of masks and sculpture where as the Chopi, located in south-central coast, is known for the traditional and complex dance and the musical arrangement. The traditional visual arts of the country reflect the native's interest and the respect for the country's art. The performance arts of the nation reveal the social expression as well as the daily religious activities of the people.
Under the Portuguese rule, poor Mozambicans had limited opportunities for education. This is the reason maximums of Bantu people were illiterate and even many of them unable to speak Portuguese. After the independence, country got a noticeable development in the field of education. The enrollment rate in the primary schools increased up to two-third that resulted as the great reduction in the illiteracy rate. Primary and the secondary education became compulsory in the country.
In Mozambique's education system, the students have to clear the standardized national exams to take admission in the secondary schools.
The economic growth rate of Mozambique has in creased from 1993 to 1999. During 1993 – 1999, the growth rate was estimated as 6.7% and during 1997 – 1999 in averaged over 10 percent per year. The GDP of the country slowed in 2000 due to devastating floods. And the full recovery could be attained in the year 2001 with the economic growth rate of 14.8 %.
In spite of the fewer infrastructures in the agriculture, Mozambique produced various crops that are exported. The major exports of the country are:
|Alto Molocue Airport
|Chokwe Airport
|Inhaminga Airport

If you don't get what you want in life, it's a sign that you either didn't want it bad enough or you tried to haggle over the price.
Great quote. Some of us want the most out of life but are not willing to put in the work to earn it. There are no shortcuts.

Since we were already hanging out with Lauren in the store, she selected some darling outfits for us to wear to the golf outing. We had it in our minds we would have to be all dressed up in plaid (thinking of Caddy Shack) and knickers, but Lauren had a more updated look in mind. She choose for Eloise a comfy Rachel Zoe sweater and popped it with a rockin' red Magaschoni cashmere scarf and then paired them with a black French Connection contemporary pant. Then for me, she picked a black Rachel Zoe pant with leather accents and a Central Park West sweater with a Barbara Lesser vest. I think we need to hire her as our professional stylist and have her dress us every day…makes our lives so much easier!
Anyways, we had a blast, once again, at one of the Sigma Kappa's fundraising events. It always feels great to give back and have a wonderful time doing so. We can't wait for the next event we can attend!

Cleopatra/Alice Style!
Do you remember us?
Here is my blog post about me:
Here are my posts:
I'm Alice, and I'm Cleopatra.
Me and Alice will share this post, I'll do half, and she'll do half.
She's going to start. * Note from the editor, Cleo should have said " Alice and I will share this post" but because Cleopatra is from Egypt, she doesn't know how to spell correctly*
What have I been doing lately? I'm now in a Army of professonal knights,
That is a really hard core training, you're a knight 24/9 all the time!
But I've also done some planting, at " The Castle" we don't have snow.
I have to go now! Alice Buttercup.
Now it's my turn!! I am also at " The Castle" ( I am very sorry, I can't tell you the real name of the castle.) Sadly, I'm not a knight like Alice, but I am one of the Queens that live there, and I inspect the professonal knights with Commander B. ( Commander B is from my time, but went forward in time with me)
We have been busy with new troops, but right now I am in the garden that Justin PawPaw ( you should know him!) Uses for his spices in his cooking.
I have to go, Chow- I mean BYE! CleoPatra

belle & boo
One of my professors told me recently that my fashion illustrations look like they could be illustrations in a children's book, and it was probably the highest compliment she could have given me. And I realized that one illustrator who has influenced me more than any other is Mandy Sutcliffe, of Belle & Boo. My admiration of her adorable characters started when I came across a card at Borders with with this little darling on it.
How could I possibly resist? I went to the website listed on the back of the card, and I've been enamored ever since. Here are a few more of my favorite Belle & Boo illustrations.
Aren't they wonderful? I think the most marked effect that these illustrations have had is to increase my confidence with outlining. I didn't start outlining my fashion design figures until last semester, because I like my illustrations to look very soft and I was afraid an outline would lend itself to a more severe look. But now I'm squarely in the outlining camp, and, looking at the illustrations from Belle & Boo, it's clear that an outline doesn't have to be harsh at all.
There are two things that make me feel like a child on Christmas, and those two things are home wares and stationery. And Belle & Boo offers both. Oh my goodness…I'm absolutely in love with this sleepy-sweet mug and adorable, adorable gift tags and pillow with Boo the bunny on them.
Belle & Boo also offers children's clothing, wall decals, notebooks, cards, pins, and even a book. And yes, it is all this adorable.
…I'm not too old for a Boo wall sticker, right? Right?
♥Thank you so much to Mandy, Kate, Tracy, Helena, and Suzie at Belle & Boo for letting me post these images!♥
♥You can check out the Belle & Boo blog, too!♥
love, Julie
Julianne Joseph permalinkMarch 3, 2011 7:20 pm
Yay!!!! What I really want to see are your wonderful illustrations :) AND if you write a children's book, or illustrate one, I'm sure it will be my future offsprings favie :)

On the other hand, the Gigabyte card we received is carving its own path. Aside from a blue and shorter PCB (19.8 cm against 23 cm for the reference design, which should make all the difference in certain casings) thanks to a simplified power supply stage, Gigabyte replaced the original and impressive cooling system with a more modest Zalman VF700 AlCu which is an aluminium and copper hybrid. Apart from a little weight-loss, it also allows the card to occupy only one slot at the back of the case although the size of the cooling system still prevents the usage of a card next to this 8800 GTS 512 MB. The only down sides are the heat that is no longer rejected directly outside the case and the RAM (still Qimonda 1 GHz) that no longer has a heatsink, although it's still being cooled by the fan's air flow.
The more attractive Gigabyte model
The difference in size is obvious
We note as well that this card doesn't support Triple-SLI, which is exclusively for the 8800 GTX and Ultra (you have to admit that without it, those two cards no longer have anything in their favour on paper)

eisleyHi, this is a tricky question, I think. I'm curious. How come a 5 year old video card is only 9 tiers down below the more recent and super powerful 7970 GHz Ed.? (From your most recent Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart) And also it is 8 tiers above the pretty cool Intel HD Graphics 4000?
Does that mean its specs and 512 MB are enough to work with media and play nicely most nowadays games? (at medium-high settings?) I know that does not only depend on the video card, but that chart suggest that.
This can be silly, but I'm looking for a video card like this one. I have a Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz/4Gb/IntelQ45 machine that I'd like to improve by adding this video card. Any piece of advice? I'd appreciate it very much. (I know I can try upgrading to some Core 2 Quad, but I'm not to much into games nor editing).
Mostly, what I'd like, besides casual medium-high settings gamming, is what I see in my monitor (videos, images, Windows 7 user interface) is crisp and clear, -much- more than usual. I like high-definition views
Please, advice me on that matter. Thank you for your review. That video card looks like it's amazing. And is not that expensive.
- Leo.
(Cheers from Peru!)
Pd: My pc is an original HP Compaq dc7900 Convertible Minitower PC. And my monitor is a Full HD TV (LG LD650) I have another 3D one, and use this one for my comp. And, I'd like the video card to have an HDMI port to conect through it this monitor I use. DVI does the same? Btw.

3 Things To Look For When Ordering Paper Towels For Your Business
Paper towels are an essential for just about any business. When you order them, you might not really pay much attention to the ones that you are ordering. However, looking for these things can help you order the best possible paper towels for your company.
1. Price
For one thing, it's a good idea to look at pricing for janitorial equipment when ordering paper towels for your business. The truth is that paper towels can range in price widely, and if you aren't careful, you could be spending more than you should be. It's a good idea to compare the price per paper towel or per foot, depending on the type of paper towels that you are ordering. Then, you can get a more accurate comparison when looking at different brands and options. Consider looking at bulk buying options as well, since this can be a good way to save money and avoid running out.
2. Quality
It might not seem like a big deal to buy the cheapest possible paper towels, particularly if you are looking for ways to slash business expenses. However, quality does matter. If you use your paper towels for cleaning around your business, you might notice that lower-quality paper towels don't do the job as well. If you're using your paper towels in the bathroom, you might find that your customers will notice that they aren't of the same quality that they might find in the bathrooms of some other businesses. Therefore, even though there is certainly nothing wrong with looking for a good deal when ordering paper towels for your business, it is still important to keep quality in mind.
3. Eco-Friendliness
As someone who is striving to operate an eco-friendly business, it's definitely a good idea to look at the eco-friendliness of the paper towels that you order. Some of them are made out of recycled materials, for example, which can be a good option.
