Many of the costs associated with a traditional funeral can be difficult to compare in the best of times, let alone when you are grieving over the loss of a loved one. Making matters worse, the funeral industry isn't exactly known for being overly transparent. That lack of transparency can leave you or your loved ones vulnerable to misleading sales tactics.
A recent study by the Consumer Federation of America found 20 percent of 142 funeral homes surveyed failed to list prices and options for consumers who buy an outside casket or container despite standards outlined in the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule.
Before you are faced with making difficult — and potentially costly — decisions at a funeral home, be aware of some ways you might be misled into spending more money than you should.
"You should buy one of our packages"
If you opt to go with the traditional burial, you should know your first and strongest protection is in the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule. The rule's first point grants you the right to "buy only the funeral arrangements you want." That means you can't be forced to buy an entire package if you don't want or need all of the services included in it.
"You have to visit us in person to see our prices"
The FTC doesn't require funeral homes to post their price lists online (California is the only state to mandate online price menus). That being said, when funeral homes voluntarily post their prices online anyway, it could be a good sign for consumers, says Joshua Slocum, executive director of nonprofit consumer advocacy for the Funeral Consumers Alliance.
If a funeral home doesn't have much information on their website, Slocum suggests sending them an email asking for the list. "Any decent funeral home will [send a price list]," he says. If a funeral home insists on sharing prices only if you visit in person, you might be better off moving on to another business. Price transparency is a good indicator that a funeral home wants customers to know exactly what they are paying for.
Even if you have a list of prices, always ask for specifics. In a recent survey of 142 funeral homes, for example, 22% of advertised prices for "simple cremations" did not actually include the cost of the cremation itself.
"You should prepay for the funeral"
Prepaying for a funeral can make it easier for family members to manage funeral costs because it allows you to pay for all or most of the funeral home's services ahead of time. But prepayment may not be the best option for you.
If you're not careful, you could lose the money you've prepaid. The funds are usually nonrefundable, and if the funeral home goes out of business or misappropriates them, you could lose them. The FTC has a list of questions you should ask the director before you prepay in its funeral planning guide.
It's ultimately up to you. If you do decide prepaying for a funeral is right for you, then you should make sure that money goes into a trust or into an insurance policy. Doing so will make sure your money is protected if the funeral home goes out of business. Putting your money in a policy or trust also often means that that money is transferable so it will go with you, to any other funeral home or service if you change your mind.
"You have to buy a casket directly from us"
The largest expense in most funerals is the casket. The median cost of a casket in 2014 was $2,395, according to the NFDA, accounting for one-third of the total median cost of a funeral ($7,181).
The Funeral Rule also outlines two consumer protections regarding caskets. The first is that you don't have to get one if you're getting a cremation. You can purchase an alternative container made of unfinished wood, pressed wood, fiberboard, or cardboard instead. The second protects your right to use any casket or urn from anywhere you want. So you can shop around for a cheaper casket online or at a different store and the funeral provider can't refuse to handle it.
If you're looking to save on the costs of a casket, choosing caskets made with inexpensive materials is the key. For example, instead of a mahogany casket, find an identical casket made of cheaper material like birch or a veneer.
"Our customized burial liner is the way to go"
The burial container is another large expense that you can easily avoid. On average, the burial container — the box that the casket would be put into — adds $1,327 to your bill. Zeldin cautions consumers to be "very wary of any funeral directors that try to upsell you on a customized outer burial container with engraving." It's not worth it, unless you just have the extra money laying around, she says.
Burial containers are not required by state law; however, some funeral homes may require that you purchase a burial liner or container to help keep the grave from caving in.
If they do, the Funeral Rule protects your right to see a written burial container price list if the containers aren't listed on the general price list. The container can be a vault, or a liner made of either cement or plastic. The liner is usually cheaper. If the funeral home doesn't require a burial container, don't get one.
"Sealing the casket will protect the deceased"
Funeral home directors may try to convince you to invest in a casket seal or vault, which can cost $1,327. Seals are meant to slow down biodegrading, but they aren't necessary at all, Zeldin says. "Sealing a casket is the worst idea ever," she says. "It was an industry creation to play on consumer fears and sell them a more expensive box."
She said to keep in mind what actually happens during the decomposition process. The body releases gasses naturally, so either the box will eventually explode, or the seal will have to let air in somehow, defeating the purpose of the extra couple of hundred dollars you'd pay.
"Embalming is always required"
No state law requires routine embalming for every death. In cases when embalming isn't necessary, such as a direct cremation, skipping the procedure could save you $695 on average, according to the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA).
Make sure to check your state's laws before you cross the service off of your list. Some states require embalming or refrigeration if the body won't be disposed of in a certain amount of time, while others don't have embalming requirements. Even if it isn't law in your state, the funeral home might have a policy of embalming before public viewing. In that case you can ask for a private viewing without embalming or take your business elsewhere.

Report Shows Overweight Kids Don't Realize They Have a Problem
Fighting the battle against childhood obesity has to start with the children themselves. A new report claims that this could be harder than it seems, since many overweight kids don't even realize they have a weight problem.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics compiled government data covering about 6,100 kids and teens age 8 to 15. The resulting report demonstrated that about 30 percent of these children and teens "misperceived" their weight status.
According to the CDC report, of the kids and teens who were designated as overweight based on government guidelines (between the 85th and 95th percentiles on the CDC's growth chart), 76 percent thought their weight status was "about right." Only 23 percent correctly identified themselves as overweight. Among the young people above the 95th percentile on the chart, about 42 percent thought their weight was fine and 57 percent felt they were overweight.
The report also concluded that boys, younger kids and children from lower-income families were more likely to wrongly identify their weight status.
Even so, some experts warn against labeling children and teens as overweight. "Shame is a terrible motivator," says Marlene Schwartz, a psychologist and director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity at Yale University. Her advice to parents is to focus on giving kids feedback about their nutrition and activity choices, rather than demanding they hit some number on a scale to be at the "right" weight.

In Japan, there are tons of maid cafes for nerds to patron and gaze at young women in maid outfits. But what about females who aren't interested in looking at other ladies? Or dudes who don't like girls? Where are they supposed to go?
MiracleJumP in Tokyo's geek district Akihabara is a "boys love" cafe that carters to fujoshi, or "rotten girl" geeks who love boys love manga and anime—as well as "rotten boys" who are into boys love.
The cafe offers cute rice omelets, original cocktails, and various "games" like "BL Pocky". For ¥1,000 (US$12), two dudes will munch on the same Pocky snack.
MiracleJumP opened in 2010, and it currently has ten fellas on staff. The best part? They're 3D! So they don't exist only in the pages of your favorite Boys Love comic—or your favorite dirty movie. More details (and directions) in the link below.

Governments in Africa face the enormous task of uniting all our people to fight as one against the coronavirus. Our governments owe us the duty to offer political leadership in uniting the different political forces and civil society groups to put our collective shoulders to the wheel in these difficult times for our societies. As in a war situation, our collective survival is at stake and demands that all well-meaning groups in society join forces to fight the common threat that faces our entire continent. All groups that claim to represent people in various ways and all persons who lay claim to leadership at any level are duty bound to stand up in this time of crisis to be counted and to live up to their responsibilities of leadership..

LONDON (Reuters) - The number of Britons claiming unemployment benefits fell unexpectedly in November and the number of people in work hit a record high, data showed, raising prospects the labor market will support a moribund economy.
The data will give some relief to the government and policymakers struggling with an economy that only exited recession in the third quarter. Weak business surveys have raised concerns of a relapse.
"The fact that UK employment is rising, consumer confidence is up, and anecdotal evidence of retail sales haven't been too bad, offers some hope that the domestic situation in the UK is stabilizing," said James Knightley at ING.
Sterling hit a five-week high versus the dollar after the data of above $1.6133. London's FTSE 100 index .FTSE remained 0.3 percent higher on the day but there was no reaction on gilt markets.
The number of people claiming jobless benefits fell by 3,000 last month and the increase in the previous month was revised down to 6,000 from 10,100, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday. Analysts had forecast a rise of 7,000.
On the wider ILO measure, the number of people without a job fell by 82,000 in the three months through October to 2.510 million, the lowest since March-May 2011. The jobless rate stayed at 7.8 percent, in line with forecasts.
"This is a good set of figures. What we've seen is extraordinary resilience by the private sector," Employment Minister Mark Hoban told Sky TV after the release.
Recent business surveys have showed that firms in Britain's dominant service sector increased staffing levels last month but factories reduced headcount.
A separate survey published on Monday showed British firms hired permanent staff through recruitment agencies at the fastest rate since April 2011 last month.
The number of people in work rose to 29.601 million - the highest since records began in 1971.
The positive labor market news will come as a relief for Bank of England policymakers, who decided against another cash boost for the economy last week.
Finance minister George Osborne, who has had been under pressure to ease his flagship austerity program to reduce the budget deficit and instead stimulate growth, will be also buoyed by the data.
The ONS said the number of public-sector employees fell by 24,000 in the third quarter to 5.745 million - the lowest since the first quarter of 2002. The ONS also revised public-sector employment up by around 100,000 per quarter for recent quarters and by less for earlier years due to better data.
Britain will endure more austerity and miss a key debt-cutting goal as the economy looks set to grow far more slowly than previously thought, Osborne said last week when presenting a half-yearly budget statement to parliament.
The latest ONS data also showed that many Britons still faced a squeeze on their finances.
Average weekly earnings including bonuses grew by 1.8 percent in the three months through October. Analysts had forecast a rise of 1.9 percent. Excluding bonuses, pay increase by 1.7 percent.
Both figures were below inflation, which jumped to 2.7 percent in October.
"Such a picture is not supportive for the spending profile in the coming months as households remain under pressure in the current uncertain environment, even if labor markets remain resilient," said Annalisa Piazza at Newedge Strategy.

Do You Know How Many People Show Up At Wallpaper Free Download Images | Wallpaper Free Download Images
Making the decision to shop auto insurance online can garner you tremendous savings. In the current economy it is important to protect your interests as best as you can. It is also imperative that you save cash wherever possible by getting the best deals on everything that you need.
Online comparison sites do not charge broker fees. This is a no-brainer savings opportunity because not only do you keep a hundred or more dollars in your pocket just doing the work yourself, you also get rid of the middle man. A broker typically has less insurers to work with than does an online database, which means that shopping this router gives you a much lower likelihood of coming across the best possible deal.
The initial application forms for most online sites are super simple. Most applications can take fewer than twenty minutes to complete. While you do however have the opportunity to get your quotes by entering only a small amount of personal information however, the better that you describe yourself in this initial step, the more accurate your quotes will be.
It is important to note automobile comparison sites are not always able to offer you an instant quote. Depending upon the nature of your particular driver profile, your results may take a bit longer to compile. These are then offered to you via e-mail, or sometimes the comparison company will contact you by phone.
Most online sites have a convenient 800 number that is listed on the homepage. If you are having problems with the application or find yourself a bit loss in any other area of the process, you always have the option to call in. A representative can quickly assist you in moving through any confusing areas, or helping you properly enter profile information in order to obtain the best results.
There are several things that you can do in order to streamline the process and get the fastest most accurate results for your needs. You should probably take the time to determine the amount of coverage that you need in comparison to the minimum that you have to get. If you are really on the search to save money you should take a clear examination of the assets that you are trying to protect and the overall value of your vehicle.
Getting a quote on your cars current value can be done quickly and for free online using any one of numerous sites. You just need to have the make, model and year of the car as well as a clear understanding of its current quality, such as excellent, fair or poor. If you have a good driving record and an older automobile you might want to look into getting a more general and basic policy. You should also consider the neighborhoods in which you live and work in order to determine if getting theft protection and hit-and-run coverage is a sound decision.
There are even professional affiliation and specific occupations that may entitle you to a discount. Taking the time to talk with your new insurer over the phone helps you to make certain that you cover all of the bases. Going over all of your options with the salesperson or customer service representative enables you to leave no stone overturned.
Car insurance premiums not only vary from company to company, but also from driver to driver. When you purchase car insurance, there are many factors that affect how much you will pay. It is important to be aware of these factors because it can help you take measures to lower the price you pay for your own insurance policy. The following are a number of factors that affect car insurance premiums:
Risk is one of the most important factors insurance companies look at when determining premiums. For instance, when insurance companies determine their rates, they assess the drivers risk of getting injured or injuring others such as in a car accident. Statistics show that young teen males are at a greater risk of speeding, disobeying traffic rules, and getting into an accident. Teen males tend to pay higher premiums. As well, drivers of any age with a poor driving record such as a history of traffic violations or have a history of filing insurance claims will be assessed as a high risk. An insurance provider will look at a persons driving history and take into account such incidents as: history of reckless driving, traffic violations such as parking tickets, speeding tickets, penalties of illegal activities such as driving while .
Research has shown that certain types of car at greater risk of getting stolen. Insurance companies keep statistical information about cars at risk of theft. People who drive cars with a high risk of getting stolen will pay higher premiums. As well, if a driver parks their car on the road instead of in a garage, there is a greater risk of theft. Other factors considered when determining the risk of theft include safety record of the particular type of car, whether the vehicle has such theft protection equipment as anti-theft devices, tracking devices such as GPS, and secure window and trunk locks. Sports cars and luxury cars are examples of cars that are at a high risk of theft.
The location of a driver is factor that affects car insurance premiums. For instance, a person living in a big city where statistics show a high crime rate will normally have to pay higher premiums. In more rural areas where there is less traffic and less crime, drivers will normally pay lower premiums. The incidences of theft and vandalism are also considered in each geographical area.
How the vehicle will be used is another factor considered when determining premiums. For instance, the distance to work and whether the car is used just for household errands and leisure activities are all a factor. The higher the mileage each year, the more one will have to pay for their insurance. The price of the car and special features such as a high performance engine, marital status of the driver, whether the car is fuel efficient such as a hybrid, occupation of the driver, and the drivers credit rating, are all taken into account when determining premiums.
No matter what type of driver you are, there is always a risk of a problem occurring when driving. The best way to acquire affordable car insurance is to be aware of all of the factors insurance providers take into account when determining insurance premiums and take the necessary steps to ensure the insurance provider puts you in a lower risk category.

A couple of weeks ago I came up with the amazing and revolutionary idea to make zucchini noodles. While I'm more than certain that many people before me have done this very thing, it still felt like my idea. 🙂 While this post doesn't contain an actual recipe, I'm going to share with you how I made my zucchini noodles. Perhaps it will inspire you as well!
I took my Pampered Chef julienne peeler (a birthday gift last year that I've used many, many times!) and cut down the length of a washed and trimmed zucchini, creating zucchini "noodles." Once I'd sliced all my zucchinis into noodles, I placed the lovely green pile into a fine mesh colander and salted them with about 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt (the salt draws out some of the water from the zucchini).
Then I left it to drain for about 30 minutes, squeezing out the excess moisture before sauteing in a little butter and olive oil for about 5 minutes. I seasoned them with a little more salt, pepper, and Italian spices before topping the noodles off with caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, a little sausage, and marinara sauce. It was delicious! I might even like it better then the pasta. And, if you're a spaghetti noodle twirler, zucchini noodles will twirl around your fork too!
If you too would like to make zucchini noodles and don't yet have a julienne peeler, I highly recommend you get one. 🙂 It's a small gadget, but well worth the space it will take up next to your vegetable peeler. I also like to use it to matchstick carrots for salads or stir-fries (they cook up much more quickly!).

Beginner HTML5:
Semantics: Part 2
Semantics: Part 2
Welcome to part 2 of the Beginner HTML5 tutorial! In this tutorial we'll be reviewing some of the new elements from Part 1 and using them to make semantically correct markup. This will flow nicely into the main topic which are Content Models. They are the HTML's specification lingo telling us what type of content is supposed to go inside the tags, officially.
***NOTE: This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of HTML/XHTML and that you have read the first part of this tutorial series as some concepts covered in Part 1 won't be reviewed again here. END NOTE***
HTML5: Content Models & Part 1 Review
Past HTML specifications defined two distint content types: block or inline. I think after several years of only two, a change needed to happen. Thankfully, HTML5 uses a more logical approach by dividing elements into a broader range of categories. More really is better in our case. Inline elements now have a content model of "text-level semantics" while block level elements are now "grouping content"; paragraphs, list items, divs, and so forth are coupled with block level elements as well. Web forms have their own separate content model, of which I won't go into detail about here. Images, audio, video and the canvas element on the other hand, are all "embedded content."
The structural elements of HTML5 introduce a new revolution in content models called "sectioning content." This is about as exciting as free beer. Yes, it's just. that. awesome. This two word term is one of the most important facets of HTML5. That would be sectioning content, not free beer.
Sectioning Content
We are going to create an outline of an HTML document using the heading elements, h1 to h6. I know its not totally conventional, but it serves our purpose and will highlight some important aspects of HTML5 which will help horrible markup everywhere I hope. Here's our first example:

Our Upcoming Venue

Cities

Join us in these cities for 2011!

Toronto

Home of the tower and dome.

Vancouver

That's V.City to its friends.

Ottawa

It's so nice.
 Accommodation not provided.
That gives us this outline:
>Our Upcoming Venue
(don't mind the > characters, I didn't know how to make multiple lists within lists in a post to achieve the structural outline presented above so ASCII art time it is)
Hopefully this show's my point. Any content that follows a heading element is presumed to be associated with that heading (hence, the inset for the rest of the list elements). Now pay attention to the final small element in the markup. That should be associated with the entire document but a browser has no way of knowing that. There's no way that the browser knows the small element shouldn't fall under the heading "Ottawa."
Using our sectioning content in HTML5 allows you to dictate the start and end of related content and solve the issue:

Our Upcoming Venue

Cities

Join us in these cities in 2011!

Toronto

Home of the tower and dome.

Vancouver

That's V.City to its friends.

Ottawa

It's so nice.

 Accommodation not provided.
Now you can tell the small element falls under the heading "Our Upcoming Venue" rather than "Ottawa."
But I can markup this content even further with more divisions, placing each city in its own section:

Our Upcoming Venue

Cities

Join us in these cities in 2011!

Toronto

Home of the tower and dome.

Vancouver

That's V.City to its friends.

Ottawa

It's so nice.

 Accommodation not provided.
That still gives us the same outline as above:
>Our Upcoming Venue
I know that it feels like more markup then required, but ideally this lets the browser know how to handle all of the content properly. Plus the SEO benefits of having defined content is quite important so I know its more than just some div, but really it's worth it and now you'll learn why.
The Outline Algorithm
So far, the new sectioning content isn't giving me any more of that awesome fuzzy tingling feeling inside like previous versions of HTML except here's the inception: In HTML5, each piece of sectioning content has its own self-contained outline. That means you don't have to keep track of what heading level you should be using-you can just start from h1 each time.I think the tingling feeling is coming back:

Our Upcoming Venue

Cities

Join us in these cities in 2011!

Toronto

Home of the tower and dome.

Vancouver

That's V.City to its friends.

Ottawa

It's so nice.

 Accommodation not provided.
So whats the big deal? Previous versions of HTML would have produced an inaccurate outline, something to the effects of:
Our Upcoming Venue
But in HTML5, the outline is accurate:
>Our Upcoming Venue
So, this now gives you unlimited depth to your headings as long as you section appropriately you'll never run out.
Because you might want to use a heading element but you don't want its contents to appear in the document outline the hgroup element allows you to do just that:
<hgroup>
Our Upcoming Venue

For people who make websites
 </hgroup>
In this case, the h2 heading "For people who make websites" is really a slogan/tagline. In an hgroup element, only the first heading counts towards the document outline. Also, the first heading doesn't necessarily have to be an h1, so spice it up:
<hgroup>
HTML5 is cool

Web designs using HTML5 rock!
 </hgroup>
Sectioning roots
Some HTML5 elements you might notice don't follow these algorithm guidelines. The blockquote, fieldset, and td elements are all immune to the outline algorithm. In other words, it doesn't matter how many heading you use within these elements, they won't appear in the document's outline. These elements are called "sectioning roots"-not to be confused with sectioning content.
Because each piece of sectioning content generates its own outline you can start to think about your content in a truly modular way! I have a post entitled "Cheese sandwich" because they are awesome. Before HTML5, I would need to know the context of the post in order to choose which heading level to use for the post title. If the post is on the front page, then it would appear after an h1 element containing the title of my blog:

My Kickass Blog

Cheese Sandwich

My cat ate my cheese sandwich!

But if I'm publishing the post on its own page, then I want the title of the blog post to be a level 1 heading because I can:

Cheese Sandwich

My cat ate my cheese sandwich! Oh noes!

This is a good opportunity to use sectioning content-an article element in this case-properly to allow us to achieve our multiple h1 heading:

Cheese Sandwich

My cat ate my cheese sandwich! Oh noes!

Now we have modular content which can be ported anywhere. It doesn't matter whether it's appearing on its own page or on the home page:

My Kickass Blog

Cheese Sandwich

My cat ate my cheese sandwich! Oh Noes!

HTML5's new outline algorithm produces the correct result and displays both, but with the article inset under Kickass Blog, not aligned with it.
Scoped Styles
This is a bit extra, but I thought it's important to add in. The more usage it could recieve the possibility of it being adopted is their. Since each piece of sectioning content has its own outline, it makes for the perfect match to Ajax (something way to large to cover here, obviously). This gives HTML5 a chance to shine as a specification for web applications. Trying to port a piece of content from one document into another introduces some problems. The CSS rules being applied to the parent document will also apply to the inserted content.
HTML5 offers the scoped attribute, which can be applied to a style element and any styles declared within will only be applied to the containing sectioning content. I know that is pretty cool and very handy.

My Kickass Blog

Cheese Sandwich

My cat ate my cheese sandwich!

In that example, only the second h1 element will have a font-size value of 75%. But, now here is the bad news about scoped. No browsers support the attribute yet. Boo!
Styling HTML5
So all of this new HTML5 is fantastic but before you can start using a new addition to HTML5, you need to consider the browser support for that feature. If you want to start using HTML5's new structural elements today, there's nothing stopping you. Browsers currently will allow you to style the new elements, it's just that most browsers allow you to use and style any element you care to invent, not the specifically defined ones in HTML5. So we need to do a couple of tricks to get HTML5 elements styled properly depending on which browser you want to focus on, or if you want cross-browswer compatability.
Browsers won't apply any default styling to any new HTML5 elements. This is what happends when you want to use emerging advances in web design and development! So, at the very least, you will want to declare new structural elements should force a line break with CSS:
section, article, header, footer, nav, aside, hgroup { display: block; }
That should be enough for most browsers and I usually include it with my reset stylesheets but for one browser this isn't enough, can you guess who has special needs?
If you guessed Internet Explorer, you're correct! It absolutely refuses to recognize any new elements unless each element is first created with Javascript, like this:
I know, what a pain! Thankfully though, Javascript genius Remy Sharp wrote a handy little script that generates all of the new HTML5 elements for you. All you do is load the script within a conditional comment so that it's only served up to our "special" Internet Explorer if someone lands on your site and is using it:

Now you can style the new elements to your heart's content and use HTML5 in your web designs today!
I hope you've enjoyed this two part tutorial on the introduction to using HTML5. This is only scratching the surface of the power of HTML5 so learn learn learn and happy coding!

Name: Michel Margosis
- Photo Designation
LIFE BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST (ID Card Project)
- Photo Credit
- United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of Michel Margosis
Name: Michel Margosis
Date of Birth: September 2, 1928
Place of Birth: Brussels, Belgium
Michel's parents were Russian-born Jews. His father had been a police official in Russia who had been deported to Siberia for being an outspoken Zionist. After escaping, he and his wife had made their way to Belgium, and two of their four children, including Michel, were born in Brussels.
1933-39: In Brussels my father owned and edited two newspapers, one French and one Yiddish. As a kid, I enjoyed reading comics like "Yordi," who in the United States is known as Superman. A day after my eleventh birthday in 1939, I was shopping with my mother when church bells rang out, announcing that France and England had declared war on Germany because the Germans had invaded Poland.
1940-43: Four days after the Germans invaded Belgium in 1940 we fled for the south of France, where we tried to find refuge. We ended up in a detention camp in France, where refugees were interned, and my parents decided to escape. Our first night there was our last, and after sneaking out we got on a train. Still in France, we arrived at a friend's farm and there we hid for a whole year, until it became too dangerous to stay. We then made our way to Marseille, where we hoped to get exit visas and sail for the United States.
The Margosis family did not succeed in obtaining exit visas, and they escaped instead over the Pyrenees into Spain. From there, Michel was sent to the United States in 1943.

True for most women and perhaps for many men, my hair has taken me both to the mountain top and into the depths of despair. Okay, maybe that's an overstatement. Let's say it's had its ups and downs. Although the color is interesting and used to be memorable, the texture is mostly unmanageable. While summer weather in the South is made for frizz and my hair is happy to accommodate the humidity if not the blow dryer, in the winter it just hangs there. It's also thick on the sides and in the back, and thinner on top. It's as if I were destined to look like Ronald McDonald in drag.
Throughout the years, I've done some crazy things to my hair. My friend, Allison, who also happened to be my college room-mate, was known for "highlighting" anyone's hair at any time day or night. The fact that Allison went on to become a Methodist minister and, later a Buckhead therapist, must be based, in part, on the number of people who used the Lord's name in vain and developed annoying tics during her UGA dorm-room beauty-parlor days. I was one of her victims.
Later on, after I got married, I either had my hair cut short or, every few years, when curly hair was in style, I would get a perm . My latest perm was just a few years ago, when, by the way, curly hair was NOT in vogue. I have no idea what led to that brilliant idea but I think it had something to do with my then-stylist's BMW payment. Because I was already on up there in years, my head of tousled locks did NOT give me that sexy bed-head look, but did,instead, cause me to look very much like John Calvert, the Third Lord Baltimore. The picture to the left is not me because I don't (as of yet) have that much facial hair. But, as they say, you get the picture.
Before I go any further in trying to explain what my hair has to do with the closest I come to crazy, let me tell you about Whitney, my current hair stylist/psychiatrist. Whitney is wonderful and talented and smart and funny, not to mention handsome. He's great with hair and great with people. Therefore, Whitney can't be blamed for any of what I'm about to tell you, nor can my past stylists be held accountable either, except for maybe that one with the Beamer. In fact, Whitney is often called in to fix what I have wrought.
You see, not only do I have bad hair, I'm also cheap. Whitney, being the fabulous stylist that he is, charges, although undoubtedly not nearly what he's worth, what the Atlanta market will bear. But that's not all. In addition to his stupendously expensive fee structure, Whitney has also placed his salon (JH Design Studio Hair Salon) in Roswell, Georgia, a charming little burg ten miles north of Atlanta, while I live in Midtown. So, not only do I have to pay Whitney's outrageously enormous salary, I also have to cough up an extra dollar (50 cents there and 50 cents back) to drive my happy self up (and down) State Route 400, the Hospitality Highway, which is so hospitable as to be a toll road with more driving jerks per 1000 feet than any highway in the world, including the Autobahn. I do have to admit that Whitney has offered to hand me 4 quarters when I leave his salon. He has also offered (on several occasions quite forcefully) to find me another stylist.
So, here we go. The closest I come to crazy is when I am standing in my tiny midtown bathroom, looking in the mirror, with a hank of hair in one hand and scissors in the other. Although this current bout of psychotic behavior has much to do with toll roads and the price of gas, I've always been a closet cutter (of hair). I guess my mama didn't punish me enough after that early childhood rite of passage known as cutting your bangs with the blunt-edged scissors.
I used to think everyone whacked at their hair, until I noticed my grown daughters don't. They leave their hair be. And just recently, when I felt the need to talk about my problem to others, I realized most adult women are horrified at the thought of cutting their own hair. Second graders, on the other hand, are open to the idea.
OK, this is how it happens. Something feels too long or thick. I ignore it for a while, but my hand keeps finding it (usually while I'm watching HGTV's House Hunters or Design on a Dime). I go and look in the mirror and pull the offending piece out at a right angle. Before I know it, I've taken out the scissors and cut the loathsome lock, which makes another strand look too long or thick. So on and so forth throughout an entire commercial sequence. The next thing I know I'm calling Whitney for an emergency trip up the Hospitality Highway (50 cents there and 50 cents back). The last time this happened, Whitney said the only thing he could do was to give me a reverse mullet with business in the back and a party in the front. He then handed me 4 quarters and offered to help me find a stylist closer to home.
To tell you the truth, my problem these days isn't really my hair. It's the old face under it. Allison and I were talking the other afternoon at our weekly Friday early bird dinner, when she mentioned someone who'd had one of those digital things done where they take your picture and then attach photographs of various hairstyles to your face. We were laughing about how, no matter what fabulous hair they put on the poor woman, her face was still sitting there right under it. That led us to talking about how hair just doesn't look the same any more on our poor tired faces. Then I remembered something a friend told me a long time ago, which is the great adage "no matter where I go, there I am." I guess the same could be said for my hair and the face right under it. I seem to drag them with me wherever I go, even when it's up (and down) the Hospitality Highway to see my friend Whitney. Fifty cents there and fifty cents back.

tdlfoto brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 297 Designs von 70 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Tony DiLorenzo Photography
I'm a photographer focused on weddings and some lifestyle work as well. I'm 31, married and have a 4 yr old - similar to many of my clients in a number of ways. I'm a sole-proprietor who sometimes hires an assistant to shoot but all business and client interaction is done personally by me and with care. I like to keep things simple and everything up front - no surprise charges, no up-selling, no nonsense.
A dwindling breed - people who appreciate quality photography and have the means to buy it. Usually late 20's to 30's professionals and often people with strong cultural/family ties. Half of my business is Indian and Pakistani weddings, which I adore. Large portion of clients come from Facebook. Typical total sale is about $3K.
The logo will be used in all the usual places - web, cards, watermarks on digital proofs, inside wedding albums, letterheads, etc.
The logo should include the name and a graphic. I'm thinking a mainly monochromatic palette with maybe a little colour...or maybe not. Overall it should project quality, coolness, approachability, and confidence. I'm a bit of a minimalist and I love the branding of Apple. As for as the graphic goes I'm fairly open - whether it's based on the initials TD or TDP or if it's something simple like a few monochrome bars I'm quite open to all options. No photos or clip art.
Get a feel of my work at http://www.tonydilorenzo.ca but don't mind the website design - the will all change once I first get this logo in place.
Require .eps .jpg and .psd layered file

My car maintains speed for 4 or 5 seconds when releasing gas pedal, then the speed starts dropping slowly. When I'm getting close to a stop light, my car wants to keep going same speed, so I need to start braking harder. There is no sign of a problem. I don't get any check engine light.
I have cleaned the throttle body thinking that could be the problem. I have to mention that I do hear a clicking noise when I start driving away. This is somewhere around the front axle, but not sure. I did have the clicking noise problem first, now the speed. I don't know if that is related.

I just finished sewing this "Firecracker" quilt for a local quilt store. The pattern is by Jaybird Quilts. It is well written and a really fun sew. It uses a specialty ruler to get the angle cuts just right.
This sweet little quilt was sewn with fabrics from "Children at Play" by SarahJane Studios/Moda. I have loved this line of fabric since it came out and was really excited to make this quilt up in these fabrics!!
A close up of the quilt...what have you been working on?

This Saturday, LACMA Muse hosts the 16th annual Muse 'til Midnight event. This year, the program will take over the modern and contemporary galleries and fill them with soundtracks performed by DJs and musicians including Geographer, Dublab, and Silent Frisco.
Fresh from their performance at Outside Lands, indie rockers Geographer will take the main stage in front of Chris Burden's Urban Light at 9 pm. SPIN magazine describes their sound as "insistent beats that prop up shy, reverb-drenched vocals."
DJ collective Dublab will once again bring their sonic explorations and eclectic sounds to the LACMA campus. With numerous live and silent performances happening in galleries, walkways, and even elevators, the collective is always full of surprises.
To keep the party going without disturbing the neighbors, Silent Frisco's custom wireless headphone technology will bring the BP Grand Entrance to life with a not-to-be-missed silent disco. Use your personal headphones to switch back and forth between two Dublab DJ sets.
The full schedule for the evening will be posted later this week. Tickets are on sale now. All tickets include two free drinks, parking, and access to all performances. Learn more and purchase tickets.

Wallcoverings Association Comes Together in Clearwater
WA members and attendees were given the opportunity to explore new ideas, attend education sessions, and network.
The Wallcoverings Association – the nonprofit trade association that represents wallcovering manufacturers, distributors, and industry suppliers – held its annual meeting this past February at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida. During the three-day meeting, approximately 150 members of the association and other attendees were given the opportunity to explore new ideas, attend education sessions, and network.
In addition to featuring individual suppliers meetings and a networking reception, the event focused heavily on educational seminars. Speakers included:
• Bill Freeman, consultant to the Resilient Floor Covering Institute, who spoke on product transparency declarations;
• Brian Beaulieu, an economist with ITR Economics;
• Mike Strauss, president of Interior Design Media;
• Richard P. Honack, academic director for several Kellogg School Executive Education Programs, who shared his insight on the changing values and dynamics of the six-generations that makeup the culture in today's marketplace and the impact they have in the marketing of services and products;
• Joe Contrera, president and founder of Alive @ Work, a leadership and sales consulting firm;
• Bruce Ford, senior vice president of sales for Lodging Econometrics, who focused on hotel real estate; and
• John Dixon, managing director of Whittle Industry Data, which specializes in producing business statistical services for trade associations.
During the event, Philip J. Tarullo, president, CEO, and owner of LSI Wallcovering – a manufacturer of commercial wallcovering products for the global building interiors market – received the 2013 Justin P. Allman Award, the wallcovering industry's highest honor.
"Many things in life are cyclical. While the wallcovering industry worldwide is a significant industry, some markets have been in a downward trend for years now. They will cycle back and there is an opportunity for an industry renaissance," said Tarullo. "It will require the industry to work together with a passion to innovate products, processes, and marketing through technology. The success will be determined by how well we as an industry attract new, you talent to the business."
The 2015 Wallcoverings Association Annual Meeting is scheduled for February 8-10, 2015, again at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater.


text: How To: Convert a PowerPoint Presentation from 4:3 ratio to 16:9 without distorted or stretched images November 15, '11 Comments [21] Posted in Musings Sponsored By It always sucks to show up to a conference with a slide deck that looks lovely with lots of pictures and evocative hipster stock photography all nicely formatted for a 4:3 ratio (1024x768 pixels is common) and then find out their projectors are 16x9 and run something like 1280x720 pixels. Nobody wants to be THIS stretchy guy: It is true that some people have a genetic inability to see that 4:3 content has been uncomfortably stretched to fit a 16:9 screen. We have a name for these people. They are called "Bad People.™"* As an aside, there are few sadder technical things than 4:3 content stretched across an expensive 16:9 widescreen HDTV. From electronic stores to hotel lobbies, airport status displays to café menus. Make it stop. What's the easiest way to convert your 4:3 slide deck to 16:9 in a pitch and still have your images look nice? There' s a number of ways on the internet but they all involve "math" and "ratios" and "thought." Nonsense. Too hard. Here's what I do. Step 0 - Switch to 16:9 and see bad images. Click Design | Page Setup and switch from 4:3 to 16:9. Other folks say to enter in custom numbers and do multiplication. Hang in there, this is easier. At this point, all your images WILL be stretched out. Step 1 - Fix image ratios without messing up their sizes Here's the trick. Right click on an image and select Size and Position. From this dialog, click in the Height box. Now, just click up once and down once. As long as the Lock Aspect Ratio checkbox is checked, just changing the scale by 1 step and then switching back will fix your image. You can do it with your keyboard even faster. Here's trick #2. You don't need to close the Size and Position dialog. It's modeless. You can leave it open and go from slide to slide quickly changing your images. Just click the image, click Height, then up/down, then do another image. Repeat until it's all done. It'll take just a few seconds per slide. This trick will fix all your image ratios, but expect to do one more pass to make sure that you're using all the space afforded by this new widescreen layout. Regardless of how you images are sized you might want to make some tweaks to the layout and spacing of your text and images. How to you switch your slides from 16:9 to 4:3? Exactly the same steps except adjust the ratio in Step 0. Hope this helps someone. * They aren't really bad people. They are good people with bad presentations. Relax.

Increased awareness of "non-traditional" business models, like that of Assist-2-Sell, North America's Leading Discount Real Estate Company™, has spawned a national debate about the differences between "traditional" real estate companies and "discount" real estate companies. People involved in the discussion try to characterize real estate companies as being either "traditional" or "discount." It would be more accurate to differentiate using three categories:
- Full-Service/High Commission – So-called "traditional" real estate companies - Full-Service/Discounted Commission – Assist-2-Sell - Limited Service/Discounted Commission – Real estate companies that offer a "menu of services" or limited service. Fees are charged for the services that are selected, usually, but not always, at a discounted commission.
As a "discounter," Assist-2-Sell is often inaccurately lumped in with the third category, "Limited Service/Discounted Commission." A key difference between Assist-2-Sell and others in the "discount" real estate space is the level of service. Assist-2-Sell discovered early on that while sellers love the discounted commission, they still need and want full-service. Assist-2-Sell franchise offices are full service real estate brokerages staffed by experienced, licensed real estate professionals who are members of the National Association of REALTORS®, as well as state and local REALTOR associations. They take care of everything home sellers need from a real estate company, but charge a lower commission. It's called Full Service with $avings!®, "Full Service for Less!"®, and Results with Savings!®.
The most obvious difference between Assist-2-Sell and "traditional" real estate companies lies in the commission structure. Traditional firms typically charge home sellers a high commission that is a percentage of the sale price. (Example: Six percent). Assist-2-Sell offices charge a low, flat fee commission. (Example: As low as $2,995!) They believe that Friends Don't Let Friends Pay 6%™.
With Assist-2-Sell, home sellers are also given a choice as to how their home is marketed.
This program adds the benefits of the MLS, while still offering home sellers the opportunity to pay only the low, flat fee should the home buyer purchase directly through Assist-2-Sell. Under this program, a low commission is typically added to the cost. (Example: Three percent) If an MLS agent brings the home buyer, they receive the three percent—Assist-2-Sell receives only their low, flat fee. If the buyer comes directly to Assist-2-Sell, the seller pays only the low, flat fee, and not the additional three percent.
NOTE: Programs and fees vary by office, and specific fee structures should be confirmed by local Assist-2-Sell offices.
Both programs are designed to offer home sellers choices and to save them money. Regardless of which program a seller chooses, they still enjoy full-service.
Assist-2-Sell is a full service discount real estate company. Other companies that discount their commission usually do so by taking away services. If they charge less, they are going to do less.
Some "Limited Service/Discounted Commission" companies charge upfront fees. Others are Internet-based and may only offer placement of the house in the MLS and rely on the MLS-selling broker to handle the entire transaction. While these models do have some appeal, Assist-2-Sell has found they are not a solution for the majority of home sellers who want and need full-service but don't want to pay a high commission.
Many homeowners decide to sell their home without the assistance of a real estate broker. Most "For Sale by Owner" (FSBO) real estate companies simply help these homeowners advertise their house on the Internet. Assist-2-Sell is not a "For Sale by Owner" solution; it is a full-service real estate brokerage.
Assist-2-Sell understands why many people decide to sell their home by themselves, and it is ready to assist with its "Paperwork Only" program. Assist-2-Sell can help with the sales contract and the closing for an even lower, flat fee. this is our Seller Assist™ program.
Assist-2-Sell offices are FULL SERVICE brokerages that take care of EVERYTHING home sellers need from a real estate company.
In fact... about the only difference you'll find between Assist-2-Sell services and other brokerages... is that according to national research:
In today's complicated housing market... Assist-2-Sell keeps things simple... simple, but effective and with exceptional value.
Rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach... Assist-2-Sell is a company of choices...
In addition to traditional MLS marketing at very low fees, Assist-2-Sell offers several innovative programs that can help home sellers in any kind of market.
Whether you're in a seller's market, a buyer market, a short sale market, or a foreclosure market, Assist-2-Sell's fully licensed and experienced team can get the job done... and save you money along the way...
We call it "Results with Savings!"™
So call today and put an experienced Assist-2-Sell real estate professional to work for you... and benefit from the difference.

Joeyweb brauchte ein neues WordPress-Theme Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 38 Designs von 6 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
One World Unity (oneworldunity.org)
One World Unity is a non-profit organization that seeks to give people in the US, UK, Canada and in other wealthy countries the opportunity to help children in need. OWU's mission is to provide educational necessities (school supplies, teachers salaries, teaching facilities) to the poorest communities in the world. Our first chapter is in Sierra Leone, a war torn country that was recently named by the UN the "least livable" country in the world. Through our work, Sierra Leonean teachers are paid to teach the poor. We believe that only through the power of education and the power of children can the poorest countries be transformed into more stable and more secure places.
The culture of our organization is one not of pity and charity, but one of respect, admiration, and investment. We do not think these children who are in hardship that most of us couldn't even begin to imagine should be pitied like many charitable organizations do. We believe that we should invest in the children and the futures of those countries. We don't want the children to learn and escape their country. We want them to learn and change their countries for the better of their countrymen. We don't just give. We help the disadvantage help themselves.
The target audience for this website are English speakers from wealthier countries. Our primary audience are young men and women between the ages of 21 and 30. These individuals are idealistic, they want to help, and they want to change the world, but they don't know how. They want to be a part of doing something great for their world. We don't want to simply collect small donations, we want to build a community of young people who believe in the transformative power of educating those who have nothing.
These individuals are highly active in social networks and many have their own website and blog.
The goal of this website will be 1) to collect email addresses from interested individuals, 2) to inform them about OWU and what it is doing, and 3) to collect donations.
The home page will be a squeeze page. On the left side there will be a video that explains our organization and encourages individuals to sign up to be a part of the organization. On the right side there will be an email opt-in box (that only requires an email, not a name). The navigation will lead to "About Us," "Our Work," and "News."
Most pages will have a sidebar that has an email opt-in form, but some will not have a sidebar and some will have a sidebar without the opt-in form. Design should work across each template style.
We will keep the same logo or a variation. The colors will be blue, white, and grey. I'd like the structure to somewhat mirror http://www.clay-collins.com and the attached "mock-up." I'm interested in a clean rather than complicated theme.
I'm not married to a specific idea. Please be creative. Thanks!
Will need layered PSD files for WordPress Template coding
I've attached a PPT that contains a "mock-up" landing page (for very rough look-and-feel) and logos with various components/versions. Please let me know if you need anything further.

Swift is an architectural parametric tool for Rhino3D. It targets matching cyclic-revolutionary design process, and facilitating modeling and documenting of architectural practicing, thereby architects' working efficiency is improved hugely. Swift is mainly developed for Schematic Design and prophase of Design Development. Architects can deal with all of design issues – plan study, exterior design and interior design – in the same software and file. Swift is also highly automatic and parametric, based on analyzing and neatening complicated relationship in architectural design.
Unlike traditional modeling method that users work on final architectural model directly, for most of time, in swift users only deal with sketch model and its database and parameters. Sketch model, with its data, will generate final architectural model automatically. Compared with architectural model, sketch model has much less geometries. This make it much easier to be observed, created and modified.

Ever been convicted of a crime? Never
Q. Should students be able to express their opinions about school on social media such as Facebook or Twitter on their own time?
A. Yes, students should be able to express their own opinions on their own time. That is a right that should not be taken away. Students have a right to their own opinion. I would just hope they would use good judgment when expressing those opinions.
Q. How should the school system deal with aging facilities and a student population that has not been growing?
A. The designated bond money should be used to repair, improve and uplift all existing facilities that are in need of renovations. I believe the school system should take advantage of this time of steady growth to prepare and perfect our school system on all levels to receive an increase in growth when it comes as a result of a growing economy.
Q. Is the current school board accessible to the community? If not, what would you change?
A. Yes I believe so because school board meetings are open to all. School board member�s contact information is posted on the Gaston County school board website and school board members provide opportunities for meeting and communicating with parents. There is a monthly newsletter and school board members are posted in every school to allow students, parents, and staff to become familiar with their names, faces and contact information.
Q. Should teachers be paid based on their performance? Why or why not?
A. First, teachers need an increase in their base salary. Also, I believe teachers and parents input is needed to determine �performance pay� and teachers and parents should help determine how teachers should be rewarded because good work should be rewarded.
Q. What would be your top three objectives if you were elected to the school board?
A. As a member of the Board of Education I would promote the employment of the best personnel , best administrators and the most competent teachers available to serve our children. I would strive to acquire adequate resources to impart the best proven and researched based practices to assure that all Gaston County children receive the best education. I would strive to repair, uplift and renovate aging school facilities in our community. I would think out of the box to create a more diversified funding strategy for our school system to assure all needs are met, pursue more business partnerships and collaboration with organizations with a similar mission.


text: today I looked more deeply into why the performance of 'optimized scalapack libraries' (libsci by Cray, libmkl by Intel) were yieding relatively poor performance of PDGEMM. It appears that they provide PILAENV unmodified, at least it returns a blocksize of 32. A link time hack that replaced their pilaenv with something that returned a larger value made a big difference in the pdgemm performance (like 2x). Wouldn't it be a good idea to provide in the netlib version of PBLAS something with a somewhat more optimal default ? I agree that is something for vendors to optimize, but the fact seems that they do not.

The new All My Children web series debuted this week to much fanfare and positive ratings. Most excitingly for lesbian fans of the show, it includes our beloved Bianca Montgomery (played by the originator of the role, Eden Riegel). While the cast is a lot smaller and many longtime characters did not return (including Kendall, Greenlee, Tad, and Erica Kane herself), the new web series format feels sleeker and I daresay, rather hip. The show picks up five years after that fateful night at the Chandler House where shots rang out during an otherwise happy engagement party. JR, father to AJ and ex to Marissa, was the man behind the gun, and his actions would change the fate of many in Pine Valley. Here is a little something to catch you up to speed.
Opal is back, and so is her son Pete, who is a big shot Silicon Valley software developer. Pete's in town because Cortland Electronics is going down the tubes, and Opal hopes her brilliant (and of course ridiculously good looking) son can step in and save the family business. She smothers him with kisses and calls him Petey, which is a totally Opal thing to do, and he reluctantly agrees.
While traipsing through the newly sparkly Pine Valley, he literally bumps into a woman on the street. Cue the "meet cute" music! Her name is Celia and she eats apples off the street.
She's wearing a blazer with a crest and a plaid skirt, so using his deductive powers of reasoning….he decides to ask his mom if there are any private girls school with red uniform kilts around. You know, for a friend.
Celia, looks and speaks like the little sister of Jessica Paré. She's spending her gap year tutoring the girls at Bramwell Hall. She also happens to be an orphan with a very mysterious, and controlling guardian whom she's never met. His proxy, Mrs. Johnson doesn't understand why an 18-year-old girl who's traveled the world and seen the Louvre, would want a normal life. Celia, says screw museums and trips to Paris, she wants to be a real teenage girl. She wants to buy overpriced panties at Victoria's Secret, and party in condemned buildings and parking garage rave. She's like the Little Mermaid, but instead of legs, she wants to eat Doritos and watch Real Housewives. Also, she wants to continue volunteering at The Miranda House as Brooke English's assistant. Oh and also to find that cute guy!
Speaking of Brooke, she and Adam are making out all over the place. He asked her to marry him for real this time. That's all you really need to know on that end. Seriously though, always making out these two. Dixie is moping around, looking lovingly at a picture of her and Tad and visiting an unknown man in a coma at the hospital. But who is it, Dixie?!
Jesse and Angie are back and better than ever. Jesse has a romantic breakfast planned for Angie, and reminds me why he's one of my favorite AMC men. Angie, taking a cue from Adam and Brooke, gets frisky and they do it on the couch.
Afterwards Angie makes a dick joke that made me laugh out loud. God bless the relaxed restrictions on online shows. Jesse does have another surprise for Angie. Her daughter Cassandra is flying in from Paris, but unfortunately instead of getting in the car hired for her, she gets kidnapped by the Russian mob. The car is registered to the casino owned by Zach Slater, husband of Kendall, father of one of Bianca's children, kisser of lesbians on the night before their weddings.

Get in[edit]
You can get to Chinandega from Managua on a micro-bus or chicken bus from Mercado Israel Lewites; they run frequently all day. The microbus costs 80C and takes 1.5-2 hours and is often airconditioned. The chicken bus will take an extra hour but cost probably half. [Apr 2016]
If you're near the UCA bus station in Managua you could take a micro bus first to Leon then transfer to Chinandega. All micro/chicken buses from Leon leave from the "Terminal de bus" frequently. This costs 23 cordobas (1$), and takes about an hour.
Note all buses going or arriving from the east go to the bus terminal at mercado "El Bisne" in the south-east corner of town. All buses going or arriving from the smaller towns like Jiquilillo to the west leave from 'El Mercadito' in the north-west corner. The distance walking between them is 2km, or take a taxi for ~25C.
Hitchiking is an option, as is renting a car.
Chinandega is past Leon. Refer to ViaNica for more directions [2]
Get around[edit]
Local buses run between the Parque Central, Bisne (the large peripheral market), the old market, and other points. Taxis are abundant. If driving, take into account the fact that most streets in town are one-way.
In Chinandega city you can either
There are school buses that leave from "El Mercadito" to go to other parts of Chinandega province, such as the town of El Viejo, where the rosquillas (cheese crackers) are famous.
See[edit][add listing]
The town itself is not terribly alluring, and it can be a hot, still place full of traffic, but at night it cools down and comes alive. The Parque Central area fills with strolling families taking their kids to the well-lit play areas, and a row of food kiosks sells food and fruit shakes at good prices.
There are many sights that make Chinandega a great place to come:
Going to the central park is a good past time. There are many carts selling hamburguers and milkshakes. You can also take the famous "bus pelon" for a ride around the town - for just 3 cordobas. It is a way to enjoy the cool night air.
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
The best food is either at the Parque or in the restaurants nearby.
You can satisfy your need for USA-style food from
There is also great food from the many fritangas on the side of the road.
Also, do not forget to try TONCUA! It is the most delilious fruit ever. Ask street vendors if they know anyone who is selling Tonqua.
The best pizza in Nicaragua comes from Pizza HOT... love the name, but love the pizza more. There are 2 Pizza Hots in Chinandega!
If you want gourmet food, check out Jack's, which is on main street.
Just ask everyone for directions to these various places because they will know.
Drink[edit][add listing]
There are many types of beers, both foreign and domestic to try out. A favorite is Tona which you can buy at any local pub for about 18 cordoba
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Get out[edit]
This is a jumping-off point for volcano hikes and the beach at Jiquilillo. To reach there, take chicken bus from 'El Mercadito' for 25C [April 2016]. It leaves daily at 7:00, 10:00, 11:30, 15:00, and 16:30. Trip takes 1.5-2hours. You can also take a taxi for $20 which will take 45 minutes.

Cancer-fighting holiday foods
LOS ANGELES, Cali. – The holidays are about family, fun and food, but most of us get carried away when it comes to enjoying a holiday meal. In fact, the average American stuffs down as much as 45-hundred calories on Thanksgiving Day! What if you could make your holiday meals healthier, without sacrificing your favorite foods?
When it comes to the holidays, most Americans aren't thinking about healthy foods. However, Dr. David Heber says maybe they should.
"For cancer, in particular, nutrition probably accounts for about 30 percent of all cancers," said Heber, MD, PhD, Endocrinologist, UCLA Center for Human Nutrition.
Many of those holiday favorites can be cancer-fighters.
"The holidays are a wonderful time to get healthy," Heber said.
First, the orange foods, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins, contain beta carotene—which may prevent skin cancer.
Dietitian Susan Bowerman says less is more when preparing these classics. Just add a little balsamic vinegar and roast your sweet potatoes.
"When you roast sweet potatoes, it brings out that natural sweetness. They caramelize," said Bowerman, MS, RD, Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD), UCLA Center for Human Nutrition..
Next up, red foods—tomatoes have lycopene, which may prevent prostate and breast cancer. However, don't store them in the fridge.
"When tomatoes sit out at room temperature, they actually make more lycopene," Bowerman said.
Broccoli contains a compound that boosts the body's protective enzymes and flushes out cancer-causing chemicals. Garlic has allyl sulfides, which help kill cancer cells naturally.
"You have to crush the garlic first before you cook it because if you cook it first, you kill the ability of this substance to be helpful," Heber explained.
Also, don't forget the turkey.
"Turkey breast is actually lower in fat than chicken breast," Heber said.
So, this holiday, load up on what's good to lower your risk of cancer.
Experts say you should try to fill two-thirds of your plate with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans. On the remaining third, choose a lean animal or plant protein. Also, men should aim for meals with no more than 500 calories. For women, it's no more than 400 calories.

The SSD Relapse: Understanding and Choosing the Best SSDby Anand Lal Shimpi on August 30, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
All Indilinx Drives Are Built Alike
G.Skill, OCZ, Super Talent and Patriot all sent their Indilinx MLC drives in for review. If you take the drives apart you see that most are the very same on the inside, despite differences externally:
From Left to Right: OCZ Vertex Turbo, OCZ Agility, Patriot Torqx, G.Skill Falcon and Super Talent UltraDrive GX. Only the Super Talent drive uses a different PCB design.
Even the packaging doesn't appear to vary much between manufacturers; that part I don't really understand. All that seems to change is the artwork on the outside.
There are some minor differences between drives. Patriot ships its Torqx with a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay adapter, a nice addition. The Torqx also comes with a 10 year warranty, the longest of any Indilinx based manufacturer. OCZ is next with a 3 year warranty, followed by Super Talent and G.Skill at 2 years.
Indilinx is still a very small company so it relies on its customers to help with validation, testing and even provide feedback for firmware development. As far as I can tell, every single Indilinx customer gets the same firmware revisions. Some vendors choose to rename the firmware revisions, while others do not. OCZ calls its latest stable firmware 1.30, while G.Skill, Super Talent and Patriot call it 1571.
The Indilinx Barefoot controller (right), powered by an ARM core.
Of all the Indilinxites, OCZ and Super Talent work closest with the controller manufacturer. In exchange for their help in manufacturing and validation, OCZ and Super Talent also get access to the latest firmwares earlier than the rest of the manufacturers. Ultimately all manufacturers will get access to the same firmware, it just takes longer if you're not OCZ or Super Talent.
You no longer need to use a jumper to upgrade your firmware, provided that you're already running fw revision 1275 or later. If you have a previous version you're pretty much out of luck as you need to upgrade to 1275 first before upgrading to anything else, and none of the manufacturers make it easy to do. Some don't even offer links to the necessary firmware you'd need to jump to 1275. Thankfully pretty much anything you buy today should come nearly up to date, so this mostly impacts the original customers of the drive.
Performance, as you'd expect, is the same regardless of manufacturer:
There's normal variance between drives depending on the flash/controller, that's why the OCZ Vertex is slower than the Patriot Torqx here but faster than the Super Talent UltraDrive GX. The manufacturer and size of the flash has more to do with determining performance. Samsung is used on all of these drives but the larger the drive, the better the performance. The 256GB model here will always be faster than a 128GB drive, which will always be faster than a 64GB, etc...
All of the drives here use the same firmware (1571) except for one of the Super Talent drives. That drive is using the beta 1711 firmware with TRIM support that was pulled.
When it comes to the best overall package, I'd say Patriot's Torqx is the nicest for a desktop customer. You get a 3.5" adapter bracket and a 10 year warranty (although it's difficult to predict what Patriot's replacement strategy will be in 10 years).
The Patriot Torqx bundle, complete with a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter.
Prices vary a bit between manufacturers, although most of the more expensive drives here have a $30 rebate to bring their prices in line:
|Price for 128GB
|Corsair Extreme Series
|OCZ Agility
|OCZ Vertex
|OCZ Vertex Turbo
|Patriot Torqx
OCZ does do some unique things that the other manufacturers don't such as deliver an overclocked drive (Turbo) and a drive with slower flash (Agility). There's a Mac Edition of the Vertex, unfortunately it's no different than the regular drive - it just has a different sticker on it and a higher pricetag.

Bonesdad - Sunday, October 10, 2010 - linkBeen over a year since this article was published...still very relevant. Any plans to update it with the latest products/drivers/firmware? There have been some significant updates, and it would be good to at least have updated comparisons.
Well done, more more more! Reply
hescominsoon - Thursday, February 17, 2011 - linkExcellent article but you left out sandforce. I'm curious if this was an oversight or a purposeful moission. Reply
PHT - Friday, September 28, 2012 - linkThis article is fantastic, the best I ever read about SSD.
Any follow up with new SATA III drives and new controllers like SandForce, new Indilinx etc.?
I will be glad to see it.

lucasgonz - Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - linkHello everyone.
This post is quite old but I hope someone can answer.
I am concerned about the life of my ssd (sandisk extreme 240). I performed partitions ignoring the issue of the level of wear and partitions. I have it for one year ago with a 30gb partition and one with 200GB. I wanted to use large drive for data but I did not have time for that and just use the first 30gb partition . My question is if the ssd may be damaged by using only a little segment. DiskInfo shows 10tb reading 18 tb and writing.
sorry my poor English.
Thanks for any help. Reply
