We're on a Foxconn graphics card roll right now. First off, I
their GeForce 7950 GT with 512MB. Today I look at the grand daddy of NVIDIA cards though. It's been a few months since the release of the GeForce 8800 so with that here's my review of Foxconn's top end GeForce 8800 GTX.
The Foxconn GeForce 8800 GTX is the top of the line enthusiast card currently on the market. Featuring 128 individual stream processors running at 1.35GHz and 768MB of GDDR3 memory, the Foxconn GeForce 8800 GTX is a DirectX10 capable card. The core runs at 575MHz with the memory running at 1800MHz DDR. Compared to the GTS version, the GTX runs 13% faster in the core, 11% faster for the stream processors, and 11% faster for the memory. The memory interface is 384-bit for the GTX while the GTS is at 320-bit. You can read about most of the new features of the GF8800 from my
so I won't go too much into it again. The GeForce 8800 GTX is the same as the GeForce 8800 GTS I
but faster.
So what's different between this and the GTS version. For one, the GTX card is a bit longer. You can see in one of the comparison photographs just how much longer it is. Another change is there are TWO power connectors on this card. The GTX requires more juice and you'll need two power connectors for this card to work. While most cards have their power connectors facing to the right of the card, the ones on the GTX face up so that you can attach them a little easier. I've found that a few cases interfered with the horizontal facing power connectors and this change will help in those situations especially with two of them to connect. Finally, there are two SLI connectors at the top instead of one. No support now for the secondary SLI connector but it's there for the future. You can plug either one in for SLI to work between two GTX cards. You can imagine the monstrosity once you can connect more than two of these cards together and the number of power lines being strung through the inside of your computer. I'm thinking they should just build an interface and case to allow another power supply to be installed so that the video cards can have it's own dedicated power rather than sharing it with the entire system.
Physically, the card is pretty much the same as the reference cards out there. The over-sized cooler is big but it runs very quiet. I could hardly hear the fan spinning even under load. The venting of the hot air out the back of the secondary slot will help keep the inside of your case cooler. There is one unique twist that Foxconn has added to the cooler though. Situated around underneath the outer shell are blue LEDs that light up when the computer is turned on. There aren't any blinking actions to make it annoying so if you have a window inside your case and love to show off lights, this card will emit a blue glow for you. If you know a little bit about electronics, you can adjust the lights yourself to suite your needs.
If you want to watch high definition video on your high definition display, then you'll be glad to know that this card is HDCP compliant so as long as you connect it to an HDCP compliant display source then you'll be able to enjoy Blu-Ray or HD DVDs in full resolution. I've been eyeing the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive for my console and PC and this card will come in handy for HD viewing. You'll still need software capable of playing the new formats of course such as Cyberlink's Power DVD 7. With this card, you'll be able to enjoy some smooth HD playback as it will help decode the higher bandwidth video.
Dual-DVI connectors and various TV outs via a pigtail lets you connect this card in various ways. The Dual-DVI connection is capable of a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 with 32-bit color at 60Hz. If you need to connect this card via the old VGA connector, Foxconn has included two DVI to VGA adapters for you.
Foxconn bundles their video cards with two utilities and a USB gamepad. The two utilities are RestoreIt! and Virtual Drive. RestoreIt! is similiar to the more popular Symantec Ghost while Virtual Drive lets you copy a CD or DVD to the hard drive and run it from there. These two can come in handy and they're free. The USB gamepad is pretty serviceable so if you need another controller then you'll get one with the card. It's modeled somewhat after the PlayStation 2 style with the dual analog sticks and four trigger buttons along with the four top buttons and directional pad.

Transportation Facilities Plan
Receive text or email notification concerning updates on this project
The Transportation Facilities Plan (TFP) serves as the city's 12-year, or intermediate-range, transportation planning document. It includes high-priority projects from long-range plans (such as the Bel-Red Plan, Eastgate/I-90 Plan and Ped-Bike Plan) and projects that address emerging needs and opportunities.
The City Council adopted the 2013-2024 TFP on August 5, 2013, (Resolution #8617). An amendment to add a project for sidewalks and bike facilities on Newport Way SE (from Somerset Blvd. to 150th Avenue SE) was adopted by the City Council on September 3, 2013 (Resolution #8623).
2013-2024 TFP Documents
The city published a Draft Environmental Impact Statement on April 11, 2013 and published a Final Environmental Impact Statement on July 25, 2013. Printed copies of the Final EIS are available for $5 at the Service First counter in City Hall. An addendum published on August 29, 2013 addresses potential impacts of the added project on Newport Way SE.
BackgroundTypically updated every two to four years, the Transportation Facilities Plan is a "financially constrained" plan: some projects do not have sufficient financial resources committed to fully complete them by 2024, but the identified cost of the projects as described in the TFP must be balanced with the City's transportation revenue projections for the 12-year plan period. The Transportation Facilities Plan serves several functions:
An environmental review is conducted in conjunction with each TFP update. The environmental review considers potential, cumulative impacts to the citywide transportation system and other elements of the environment that may occur due to 12 years of projected land use growth and the implementation of the projects identified in the TFP.

Review: Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to TechnologyUser Review - David - Goodreads
Very good. He definitely makes a compelling case for the ways that technology are destroying culture and making people slaves to the machine. It's a few years out of date (published before the advent of Smart Phones) but still applicable! Read full review

MONTROSE - "There's nothing like changing someone's smile – it lights up their soul," says Colorado Smiles' Daniel Clader, DDS.
This is a man who truly loves dentistry, but he probably loves his patients even more. For him, it's all about relationship. In his office, the clinical part of dentistry comes second, though it's equally important.
"I take a low volume approach to dentistry," Dr. Clader says, noting that if he does too many procedures on a patient at once, "the quality of the relationship goes down."
First-time patients to Colorado Smiles meet first in Dr. Clader's office, where "I talk to them for about ten minutes in my office before doing a comprehensive exam," he explains. After taking X-rays, the doctor and the patient decide together what are the most immediate issues, such as teeth cleaning, fillings, or dental implants, and then come up with long term strategies for the patient's overall oral health, whether that includes preventive care (resin restorations, laser periodontal therapy) or cosmetic dentistry (whitening, veneers, replacement crowns).
"I spend way more time up front with patients," says Clader, who has been practicing in the same converted house on South Third Street since 1984. "We were like old fashioned farmers. We built the barn first," he recalls.
A 1982 graduate of the University of Texas Health Science Center Dental Branch, Clader and his wife Karla, a physician's assistant, moved to Montrose in the fall of 1983. After seven months working for another dentist, the Clader realized, "If we're going to make it, we have to be out on our own." So the took a leap of faith, bought a house and obtained a $50,000 working capital loan to remodel the building. His dental practice started out with just two rooms and no hygienist.
"I didn't want it to be like any other dental office," he says of today's expanded, several-room office that still maintains the same homey feeling of the original structure. Back then, he says, "I knew I was going to be here more than home… I wanted something not so clinical, somewhat organic.
"It probably took a good ten years before we said, 'gosh, we might make it.'"
During those years, Karla played a significant role alongside her husband, acting as bookkeeper, dental assistant, and front desk receptionist. "Those were the best of times, it just didn't seem so at the time," she says. "It's really hard to be a dental spouse. We can work together, though, and it doesn't faze us."
With his dental practice well-established, and "the intense worry" of making a living and supporting his wife and two daughters behind him, Clader then came to a crossroads. "Something inside me know it could be better," he says. "I decided I needed to either back up or do something else."
A series of events led Clader to Seattle, where he found a mentor in Dr. John C. Kois, director and founder of the Kois Center, which teaches the latest advances in esthetics, implant and restorative dentistry. After attending Kois Center programs, Clader became a Clinical Instructor there, and now travels to Kois Center about four times a year to mentor other dentists on topics such as occlusion, gum disease, dental esthetics and rehabilitation, dental implants, and crown and bridge dentistry. But what Clader also gained from Dr. Kois was a different approach to dentistry that led him to become more of an advocate and less of a businessperson in his approach to dentistry.
"When you're ready, the teacher will arrive in your life," says Clader. But "what nobody can teach you is how to interface with humans and their amazing capacity…. Learning to really love people and do what's best for them."
Of her husband's shift in his approach to his practice, Karla says, "Dan had to learn to be Dan, learn to let the practice have his thumbprint. That took hold about six years ago."
That is when Clader changed his office's name from The Center for Dental Excellence to Colorado Smiles. "It was a better fit for us," says Clader. "I love it here. I'm dedicated to Western Colorado.
"To me," he says, "the concept of smiles is happiness. I think of Colorado as happy people." Besides, "people want to come back to a business where everyone's smiling."
To that end, Clader has a support staff of six employees who help him maintain the goals of his dental practice, and team building is high on their list of priorities. Colorado Smiles also uses the latest social media tools to its advantage, whether posting updates about Clader's participation in the annual Kois Symposium, photographs from the Montrose Health Fair, snapshots of the Claders' new puppy or one of their many outdoor adventures. They also post patient reviews on their Facebook page.
"You have to ride that [social media] wave, because that's what's happening right now," says Karla. "Marketing has become a very important part of our business."
"And thank goodness, in our economic climate, we're busy," says Clader.
Busy enough that Clader has contemplated bringing in another dentist.
"I would love to mentor a young dentist. The right person is key. It could be tomorrow, could be five years. There's somebody out there that's going to want the same kind of thing that I've been doing here. I see a many-year transition."
Of his life in Montrose, Clader says, "I've had a 60 second commute for 28 years. Hardly a day goes by that we don't see a patient that hasn't been a patient here for 28 years… .This is where we're supposed to be."
Colorado Smiles is located at 601 South 3rd Street in Montrose. Visit their website at Coloradosmiles.com or call 970/249-6955.

A discussion about this on another forum got me thinking. Hypothetically, if the physiological effects of alcohol were not present, would people still enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages? Surely yes, now that we've been conditioned to like it. But I wonder if we found a sample of people raised in a non-alcohol-philic society (assuming there is one), and presented them with a variety of alcoholic beverages, they would enjoy any of them. Whatever they decide, is it despite the taste of alcohol, or because of it?
My guess is they wouldn't enjoy it. Alcohol is poison to us (and most other organisms as far as I know), right? So it would be only natural for us to find the taste offensive.
But on the other hand, fermented beverages also last because of that very same reason. And many people unknowingly took advantage of that fact to preserve beverages - wine, beer, etc. So maybe over the millennia of surviving on alcohol, we (or certain populations) have grown a penchant for it?
Views: 2057
For me it depends on the type of alcohol. I love beer... I love the taste of most beers and have since I was a kid taking sips of what my parents were drinking. If beer were non-alcoholic I'd still probably drink it maybe not as often though.
I think that there are and always were few if any societies that didn't have some form of alcoholic beverage. I can't think of one off the top of my head. I don't think humans have conditioned themselves to like alcoholic beverages ... we are opportunists which is why the human diet has such great variety. If it's edible someone somewhere will eat it.
Alcohol is only poisonous in large quantities. Many other things we ingest are either toxic on some level of consumption or the taste mimics other things that are toxic. Nutmeg in sufficient quantities (ingesting a whole nut) can lead to death or abort a fetus yet we still eat that albeit in small quantities. Our ability to taste "bitter" is widely believed to evolved to help us detect toxins. Yet we regularly ingest things that have a bitter taste such as onions, coffee, unsweetened cocoa and dandelions to name a few. Obviously somewhere along the line humans learned that not everything that tastes bitter is really toxic or bad for us in fact many bitter tasting plants are especially healthy for us... and alcohol in small quantities has been found to also be beneficial.
Primates and especially the great apes are as a whole fruit eaters (frugivores), which may be due to the inability to produce vitamin C edongenously. The fruit that is preferred is what we refer to as ripe to over ripe. the distinction between ripe and over ripe is arbitrary but refers to the level of decay the fruit is in and the level of ethanol that is contained in the fruit. Given that several fruits could be consumed on one feeding, the blood alcohol levels would of risen to a level that these animals could of have a pleasurable sensation of drunkenness.
Ethanol is also a very volatile substance with a distinct smell to primates ( http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/content/44/4/315.full ). The smell could be easily sensed and leading primates to a food source. Thereby it is an evolutionary consequence that humans have an attraction to alcohol.
I do love the taste of a nice full bodied shiraz, that said, it was an acquired taste.
I grew up in a very Fundamentalist home - no smoking, no dancing, no swearing, and definitely no alcohol. (My mom who is 88 has never drank any alcohol.) I tried to drink when I was in my early 20's but I never could stand the taste of beer, wine, or liquor. So now I just don't drink.
On the other hand, I didn't like the taste of coffee when I was growing up. I didn't start to drink it until our third baby was born. I needed something to keep me going after being up all night with bottle feeding and diaper changing. Now I really enjoy the smell and taste of a good cup of coffee.
Let me put this as plainly as possible. I don't like beer, wine, or distilled spirits because my society conditioned me to. I literally ENJOY these things. And, yes, they do taste good to me.
Also, while you did mention that alcohol is a poison (along with lima beans, kidney beans, nutmeg, almonds, stone fruits [peaches, cherries, plums, etc.], tomatoes, and potatoes)*, you didn't mention that it's addictive, another reason we like it.
You need to be a little more specific about the ability of alcohol to preserve. It has to be in a certain concentration. Beer and wine will spoil in no time exposed to contaminents in atmospheric air or a few fruit flies (aka wine flies or vinegar flies).
* source for list of poisonous foods.
It's often the case that the dose makes the poison.
Personally, I can't stand the taste of it. Every so often, I'll get some kind of bug up my ass and say, "What the hell, I think I'll pour myself some wine!" and, sure as I write this, I'll take a sip and viscerally shudder as I swallow it...
Can't explain it fully, but it most definitely feels caustic to my throat and I have to fight a gag reflex. I *USED* to say and hold to, "On a super hot day, there's nothing like a cold beer." but now, I say, "How'd you like to see me projectile vomit all over your sweaty t-shirt?"
Unsweetened tea or water for me from now on, please.
Well most alcohol, I don't. But I do really love the taste of vodka. It still needs to be mixed with something. But the combination of that with a coke is very refreshing and amazing to me. MMMmm hehe

Susan is getting more web hits than any of the other ladies on Va-Va-Va-Broom.com, including Stacy Strauss. Who is Stacy Strauss, you ask? Well, she's the Va-Va-Va-Broom girl who steals the sexy little move Susan makes while vacuuming. We won't go into details. Let's just say a nozzle is involved.
Stacy is ticked because Susan took home the monthly bonus check. Susan gets revenge by sabotaging Stacy's vacuum cleaner. Talk about a dirty trick! Stacy barges into Susan's place where they get into a lingerie-clad wrestling match. And, yes, the webcam catches it all.
[quote-left]Once the dust settles, Susan and Stacy make nice. After all, they're both just trying to make a buck. Stacy figures she only has to do this a little longer before she can finally head home to Virginia. Susan is shocked to learn that Stacy's been doing the Va-Va-Va-Broom thing for six years. This inspires her to bank that bonus check instead of blowing it on a big anniversary dinner with Mike.

Fortunately, her never-been-high-before hubby doesn't know the difference.

Vilanova wary of Rayo threat
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova believes his side will have to be at their best in order to beat Rayo Vallecano when the two sides clash on Saturday.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The Blaugrana have enjoyed a good start to the season and are currently leading the La Liga standings with 22 points from eight games, 12 points ahead of their next league opponents Rayo, who are in 12th place.
However, despite the points disparity between the two sides, Vilanova claims that the Matagigantes will prove to be difficult to beat and credited Rayo coach Paco Jemez for improving the team.
"The trip to Rayo is the toughest trip so far," Vilanova was quoted as saying by the official Barcelona website.
"Paco Jémez has done a great job. It won't be easy for us to come out with the ball, because they are a very adventurous side.
"Vallecas is never an easy ground to visit and on Saturday they won't just sit back and wait for us - they'll go toe to toe with us".
Vilanova was also quick to remind his players that they had to remain consistent in order to wrest the La Liga title from champions and arch-rivals Real Madrid come the end of the season.
"I am very happy with the players' performances and I have no complaints," Vilanova added.
"Winning titles is important, but it's maybe even more so to have the confidence that the players will be in there till the end of the season."
Barcelona will have pleasant memories of their visit to the Estadio Teresa Rivero last season where they romped to a comfortable 7-0 win over Rayo.

Log4php is a PHP port of Log4j, the most popular Java logging framework. It supports configuration through XML and properties files (with the same structure as log4j) and custom Configurators. File, RollingFile, DailyFile, Echo, Console, Mail, PEAR::Db, PHP error, Syslog or NT events, and socket appenders are supported. Simple, TTCC, Pattern, Html, and Xml Layouts are supported. It also supports Filters, custom Levels, and Loggers. Internal debugging can be switched on and off. Log4php can be used inside a class or inside a main/sub function.
NagiosAppender is a pure Java implementation of a Log4j appender that allows the developer/administrator to send log records to Nagios via the NCSA server (using the push model). It provides a simple solution for Nagios administrators whose only alternative is to implement a polling function against against the output of a standard Log4j appender. The log4j configuration file provides for user-specific mappings between Log4j levels and Nagios levels. The configuration file also allows the user to select whether to set the Nagios 'service' and 'host' programmatically via Log4j MDC, or via the config file. Later releases support XOR encryption.
Simple Log is a small library that does logging very simply and requires you to do almost nothing (other than actually logging) to get log output to happen. It is much simpler to use than a logging framework, especially in terms of configuration. It doesn't attempt to solve every logging problem in one package, but contains enough features to be a viable alternative for most applications that need logging. This tool will handle the logging needs of most small- to large-sized projects, but with an almost non-existent learning curve.
Synapse is an ESB engine and XML router built completely on open standards. It is a mediation framework for XML messages and Web services that allows messages flowing through, into, or out of an organization to be mediated, including aspects such as logging, service lookup, performance mediation, versioning, failover, monitoring, fault management, and tracing.
The DPML SDK is a management platform for Java-based component development, resource management, and deployment. It is composed of the Transit resource management layer, the Depot multi-project build system, the Metro component management runtime engine, and the Station application management console.
The Google Serial Graphics Adapter BIOS, or SGABIOS, provides a means for legacy x86 software to communicate with an attached serial console as if a video card were attached. It is designed to be inserted into a BIOS as an option ROM to provide over a serial port the display and input capabilities normally handled by a VGA adapter and a keyboard, and additionally provide hooks for logging displayed characters for later collection after an operating system boots. It is designed to handle all text mode output sent to the legacy video BIOS int 10h service routine. Int 10h is the most common method for displaying characters in 16-bit legacy x86 code.

Local Atmosphere:
It's lovely. I can see the lake from my window.
Computer labs are always open and easy to use.
I don't know much about sports on my campus.
From what I've seen, my campus is very average in it's diversity overall.
Greek Life:
Greek life isn't a big deal on my campus. I have friends that are part of sororities, but we don't act differently toward each other. I think on my campus, people join sororities to be part of a group, not as a social status.
The snow is terrible. I'm from around this area and have lived in the snow belt all of my life, but I hate it. The snow makes it harder for me to want to go to classes, but I muddle through.
I haven't had an internship, but I plan to have one in the future. I need one to graduate, and I would also love the experience of being immersed in a job that I could do after I graduate.
I'm just a second semester freshman so I don't know much about my program. I would like to know a lot more information about it, however. I know I can do a lot with marketing, but honestly I'm unsure of what I in particular can do, or rather, what to do with this degree once I graduate.
I was valedictorian and I didn't get much of anything
The athletics at our school help to build school spirit and fan support. Not only do athletic sports keep you in shape but they help to build character and self esteem. Being on an intramural team makes it possible to have fun being on a team while also making new friends.
The education major at my campus is very rigorous. The workload consists of writing alot of essays. Our professors are very helpful and personable. The facilities are nice with comfortable areas to study and do our work.
Health & Safety:
The safety and security on our campus is very good. The space between buildings is close so there is little walking distance between classes. The pathways are well lit. There are several campus police that live on campus. There are also boxes all around campus in case of emergencies.
I feel that the diversity, acceptance, and challenges in regard to ethnic/racial diversity, economic background, political beliefs, religion, and/or sexual orientation, is very respectful to all the students on campus
The nightlife at our school usually includes hanging out in the dorm rooms watching movies or sporting events. Also going to the gym and playing basketball or working out in the weight room are good nighttime activities. Going to different sporting events at our school to cheer on the teams is also fun.
Drug Safety:
Our campus is a dry campus, meaning no alcohol is allowed on campus by anyone. I feel this is a good policy for a college campus as we are there to study and learn and earn an education to benefit our future. There is not alot of peer pressure at our campus to drink or do drugs, particularly if you are a member of a sport.
I don't know alot about the transportation options at my school since I am able to have my car while at school. The parking fee is not expensive, and the advantages of having a car are large. Having a car enables you to travel to classes that are off campus, travel to stores to stock up on supplies, and to go home on breaks and holidays.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are several off-campus dining options near our school. They include many fast food restaurants and convenience stores for quick and inexpensive items. Also there are many healthy eateries for which to choose from that are also low in costs. There are also fine dining restaurants for which to go to with your family when they come to visit
I feel the need for a personal computer is very important. Not only can you work on your homework at all hours, but you can also look up information on any subject at your convenience. You can also load your work onto a finger drive which you can take to the computer lab and print out at your convenience. Our campus network is very reliable and fast, with very little wait time when accessing the internet.
Greek Life:
I do not know very much about the Greek life at my school. I am on the basketball team, so besides my academics and my basketball responsibilities, I do not have alot of time for other involvements in fraternities and club activities at my campus.
The weather at our campus can be snowy and cold. Being prepared with warm clothing and boots are a big priority before the winter months begin. I was used to living in cold weather all my life, so the adjustment to college life in winter was not something that I had to do much adjusting to. I have always loved the snow and all the activities that go on in the winter so I do not mind walking to class in the snow.
Campus Housing:
It is extremely nice to live on campus when going to college. Living on campus makes it easy to get to your class and then back to your dorm to study and do homework in between classes. Being able to walk to the cafeteria to eat your meals in between classes makes it very convenient.The dorms at my college have very clean and spacious rooms. There are laundry facilities on all the floors, making it much easier in snowy weather to do your laundry. The dorm halls all have a special connection, with many acitivities like meet and great for new students.
Local Atmosphere:
My college town is located in a quite area, away from the busy city life. There is a mall within 5 miles, with several department stores also located close by. There are numerous restaurants nearby, ranging from quick and cheap drive-thru meals, to sit-down, fine dining eateries. There are several different sporting events to attend, or to participate in at our campus for which the local attitude is very positive.
Off-Campus Housing:
Thye just built a new apartment complex that is off campus. From the rumors I am hearing it is beautiful.
Off-Campus Dining:
We are surrounded by off campus restaurants. If you want something other than the dining hall, it is easy to find the food you're craving.
Drug Safety:
There is a lot of drug and alcohol use on campus, but you aren't treated differently if you don't use it.

Overall, most students seem to be very happy at Behrend. In fact, a lot of students who plan on transferring to University Park end up changing their minds and staying at Behrend. Students tend to think of Behrend as a great place or a comfortable setting. Students who are not happy at here blame it on the small size and lack of proximity to more fun things to do. Some Behrend students say it begins to feel like being in high school again after four years, but a lot of that depends on who you hang out with.
Behrend is definitely a small school, so anyone looking for a huge school should look elsewhere, but anyone interested in a moderately sized school with an extremely friendly student body and devoted and kind professors will be right at home here. Students who enjoy the idea of forming close bonds with professors, doing undergraduate research, and being able to visit professors whenever they need to will love the academic side of Behrend. People who want to get involved in campus activities also will love Behrend. Finally, anyone can feel comfortable at Behrend and find his or her niche.

Find out what you'll need to do to reach your goals. By Dennis Thompson Jr. Medically reviewed by Cynthia Haines, MD 1 image Every fitness activity, such as walking or jogging, burns calories, but some burn more per minute than others. And the more intense the pace, regardless of the activity, the faster you'll burn those calories. Finally, your burn rate is affected by your weight — the more you weigh, the more you'll burn in the same amount of time. Here are popular fitness activity choices and the average amount of time it takes a person weighing 150 pounds to burn 150 calories. Biking 2 image Different levels of intensity will burn 150 calories: Ride at a vigorous pace of 14 to 16 miles per hour for 14 minutes Ride at a moderate pace of 12 to 14 miles per hour for 17 minutes Ride at an easy pace of 10 to 12 miles per hour for 22 minutes Jogging or Running 3 image The faster you move, the faster you'll burn calories.

Some options include: Circuit training on weight machines or doing push-ups and other strenuous exercises for 17 minutes Taking an aerobics class or using a stair machine for 22 minutes Using an elliptical machine for 24 minutes Team Sports 5 image To burn calories while having fun with friends: Play rugby for 13 minutes Play football, lacrosse, beach volleyball, or basketball for 17 minutes Play soccer for 19 minutes Outdoor Activities 6 image Enjoying nature can be healthy in more ways than one. You'll burn 150 calories if you: Hike for 22 minutes Go whitewater rafting or kayaking for 26 minutes Ride a horse for 52 minutes Walking 7 image Getting from here to there and back again by foot can help you stay fit.

The climax came at the Breitling Unlimited Gold race Sunday, when a young lion piloted a 10-time winning aircraft to his third national championship.
"It's a lot of hard work and lots of guys put their heart and soul into the airplane," Steven Hinton said after piloting Strega to the victory. "The airplane has a lot left in it and our strategy was to take it strong and we had more if we needed it. I need to thank my whole crew, you know I'm one guy but I'm one in a team of many."
During qualifying earlier in the week, it appeared Strega, the P-51 Hinton racer that's owned by seven-time champion Bill "Tiger" Destefani, and the Rare Bear, flown by Stewart Dawson were headed for a showdown.
Unfortunately, heating problems in the motor derailed the Bear's plans.
Four of the six classes use an air start where the field heads toward the course line abreast off a pace plane. Once properly lined up toward the course, and in a shallow dive, they're turned loose.
Hinton quickly rocketed to the lead and began to pull away from the pack. Behind him, Dawson, flying the Bear, and former Shuttle commander Robert "Hoot" Gibson, flying September Fury, began an almost race long duel for second.
First to drop out was Precious Metal, whose pilot, Thom Richard, was warned by another competitor one of the landing gear doors was coming ajar. Still under power, Richard just stayed clear of the course.
On his first pass by the home pylon, Hinton turned a speed 504.47 mph, then slowed a bit for a race average of 477.523 mph at the finish.
Behind him, Dawson and Gibson disputed second place until after taking the white flag. Then the Bear was overheating too much and Dawson had to mayday out of the event so he could cool the plane's motor.
This handed Gibson second place, followed by Dennis Sanders, flying Dreadnought, and another former shuttle commander, Curt Brown, piloting Sawbones.
When Hinton stopped on the ramp, crew chief David "LD" Hughes jumped up on the wing to greet him.
Later Hughes said, "I've been crew chief on Strega for 10 years. Steven's a hell of a pilot and wrench and we're all very proud of him, proud of the airplane and its accomplishments and this means the world to all of us."
Then owner and seven-time champion, Destefani said, "He's getting up there and when he gets six I've got to get back in as I can't let him catch me."
Back on the ramp, Gibson said, "It looked to me that I was going to pass him (Dawson) several times and he either came up on the power or I pulled a bad turn or something but I still had a little bit of power left that I was allowed to use. I would have used that in the valley of speed for the final burst to the finish line. My plane ran as smooth as could be and just purred at that power setting."
While the Unlimiteds are the stars of the show, the Jet class is the fastest. Former Nevada Air Guard pilot Rick Vandam just ran away with their Gold race and posted a 490.69 mph average speed.
Taking a distant second was Phil Fogg, followed by another former Air Guard pilot, Jeff Turney.
Next in the big plane class are the T-6 aircraft. These WWII vintage trainers are so evenly matched that the pole position is critical for winning their race.
When the pace plane turned the T-6 field loose, Nick Macy in "Six-Cat," took off with Dennis Buehn and John Lohmar in hot pursuit. At the end, all three finished as they started.
Macy flew to victory while setting a new record of 247.317 mph and notching is sixth class championship.
After parking his aircraft Macy said, "The race was wild and I liked it because I was in the front the whole time. The pole position is everything and I knew how close Buehn was to me so I never backed out so he didn't come up on my side. It was windy and rough out there and I need to thank my crew as they got me here."
The smallest aircraft using an air start are in the Sport Class. These airplanes are still in production and can either be used for racing or just personal transport.
They also feature several different engine types, including one that used a small block Chevrolet motor adapted for aviation use.
Once the race started, Jeff LaVelle took off and left everyone in his wake. While Reno pilot John Parker tried to make it a race, he had to settle for second.
Both the Biplanes and Formula One racers use a ground start where they are lined up in rows along the main runway.
When the flagman drops the green flag everyone pushes their throttles forward and away they go. They also use the shortest course, which is just over 3 miles in length.
In the biplane gold race Tom Aberle grabbed the lead early and led the field around the first Pylon. From that point on it was his race as he cruised to an unchallenged victory.
While it appeared to be an easy run in calm air, it wasn't it and Aberle said, "When there is wind, the turbulence is blown off course but when there is no wind like this, it sits there and accumulates a bit so that's why I went up a bit. I need to thank my entire crew, two sons, daughter-in-law, the support we get from RARA and the spectators, as without them we wouldn't be here."
The Formula One class began Sunday's racing with their Gold event. When the green dropped, Justin Phillipson grabbed first followed by Steve Senegal.
By the time they went past the home pylon, Senegal had taken the lead and flew away to the victory. Phillipson did finish second, but only after holding off a late-race challenge by Vito Wypraechtiger, who comes all the way from Switzerland to compete.
It was great, awesome conditions, the air was smooth and it was a good race," Senegal said later. "Most airplanes accelerate faster than we do but we in fact pick up speed as we go around the course and the more times we go around the faster it goes. I need to thank my wife, Rita, my crew chief Cash Copeland, the rest of my crew and Lycon that makes it happen."
Once back on the ground Phillipson said, "It was good, I got the hold shot on the start and led for the first half or three quarters of a lap then just waited for him to reel us in. I tried my best to stay in front of everybody but Vito came up on the last lap and gave me a good run and made me work towards the end."
Then he thanked sponsors Flix Chip, Aero Surfaces, Woodside Capital Partners as they helped fun his trip to Reno then he added his whole crew.
All the aircraft at the races are put into one of three groups depending on their speeds; they are Bronze, Silver or Gold. But a pilot can bump his way into the next faster class during the heat races.
Due to doubts about the event happening several aircraft weren't here this year but are expected next time around. While ticket sales were good the crowd might have been slightly down from what was hoped for.
There were also two special events during the races and one of them was awarding the newly renamed Neil A. Armstrong National Aviation Heritage Invitational Trophy to one of the fully restored aircraft on display.
This year's winner of the grand prize was a 1944 OY-1 Consolidated Vultee Stinson aircraft.
Around noon Sunday, Mike Houghton, RARA's CEO, led a memorial service for those that lost their lives in last year's crash that brought last year's event to an early close.
Now plans are going forward for the 2013, which will be the 50th anniversary of the Air Races.

I purchased the entire set for my granddaughter a few years ago. She loves them and plays with them often. The dolls have been a wonderful addition to her dollhouse play..promoting international differences and understanding, learning about different nationalities, being props for school social studies projects, or simply becoming a seasonal display. With my granddaughter's dollhouse play, these dolls offer such a great opportunity for learning and a tiny step towards world peace. Such a neat toy! You probably can see that I am a former teacher also...and a doll lover!

My daughters love these little dolls. They use them as dolls for their 18" dolls, but also just as a small toy to have with them when they don't have room for big things. Expensive, but they will save them forever. Just love items that aren't plastic, mass-produced or use batteries - they have more soul!

I love Kathy Kruse dolls, however for the price, I expected the face to be perfectly drawn and the shell necklace on clear plastic thread not to sit at 90 degrees to the chest. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so we returned it, and I just didn't have the patience to do an exchange. Of course with hand-made items, there will be differences from one item to the next; the quality was otherwise very high.
