If you haven't seen, Game of Thrones season 4, episode 9, then consider this your spoiler alert. The epic hour-long battle at the wall shocked fans with a confrontation between Jon Snow and Ygritte, during which the redheaded wildling took an arrow through the chest.
If you haven't finished watching the second season of The O.C., Marissa shot Trey Atwood in the finale. You get no spoiler alert because, c'mon...that was ten years ago.
Anyway, what could these two beloved series have in common, other than slavishly devoted fan bases? Well, thanks to one genius YouTube user, the O.C. and GoT now share a common taste in stunner music:
If you're of the right age watching the clip above might give you a flashback to 2004 when you feverishly called your friends after the Marissa-Trey showdown, hoping that someday, someone would invent texting so that you wouldn't have to pick your jaw up off the floor in order to ask WTF just happened.
And if you think that's the only fan-made tribute to everyone's favorite fallen ginger, well, you know nothing, Jon Snow (sorry):

Thank you.. that has given me something to think about :)
Our teachers want to access and edit the student home drive shares. I'm not sure if this is something that they should do, but they want to mark student work this way. Does anyone have experience of allowing this. We have 1500 students and 150 teaching staff.

Bluewater celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness month. Olivia Newton-John's career has spanned decades! She burst onto the scene in the 1970's as Sandy in the smash movie-musical "Grease". Musically she spawned numerous top ten hits including the 80's aerobic anthem "Physical". The 90's, however, marked one of her biggest life achievements - surviving breast cancer. Since then Olivia has become a Female Force in the battle against breast cancer, bringing awareness and education to the forefront! Bluewater is working one-on one with the superstar! This issue will also feature a resource guide for Brest cancer. Also a portion of the proceeds will be going to ONJ's charity.

Mountain Top Bluegrass Festival & Campground
[ 1/10 ]
Up on a mountain top literally and the last 1/4 mile is one lane loose gravel twisting and turning. Flat open campground. I think they do bluegrass festivals at times. No easy way to determine where to park. All grass and very low hookups. No trees and the restrooms were way over to the side. An odd place. The road is enough to cause major heart failure.

Beware..Brown water..even with our filters in place. We always carry bottled water, but would not even use this to wash face in. Very primitive. Lots of permanent people. Shame, beautiful site, could be very nice indeed.

A truly wonderful park. It is directly on the shores of Lake Chatuge. The sites are all over the place and you can have quite a lot of privacy. There is a boat ramp available. There is also a large playground. It is in the center of town, but feels as if you are far far away from everything. I urge everyone who likes Lakes to try it.

This is a very nice park. We had a pull through. We used the high speed computer hookup, which is nice. The pool was drained at the time, but everything else worked well. For us, this is a nice park to make as a last stop on our way home, to central Florida.

We loved the park. It was clean, tidy and well maintained. We had a pull through site directly on the lake. We kayaked to our heart's content. It was easy to get in and out. We brought our bikes and rode all over the park.

This reminds me of me (not the slut or whore part lol). Except hurt someone I love and you will pay the price.
Music. Such a powerful thing. Now im not talking about the music that is just sounds or a good beat. Im talking about the music that makes you feel alive;moves your heart. The one that has lyrics that impact you more then you could ever imagine.
We stopped looking for monsters underneath our beds whwn we realized that they were inside our heads.
Trust is complicated. People tell me your still a child but if they walked in my shoes everyday and felt how I feel,they'd fall the first step. Sometimes trusting people again is like giving them another bullet to shoot you with because they missed the first time.
All monsters are human. And sometimes they just take over.
Oh my god this is sooo my mom! Shes like get up and close it yo ur self!
Sooo me!
Lol funny!

The penultimate stop on my Halloween quest to play through the neglected horror games in my Steam library brings me to Alan Wake's American Nightmare.
This follow up DLC takes a decidedly more pulpy turn than the original as you wander through a Twilight Zone-esque episode attempting to rewrite your story and thwart Mr Scratch and the forces of darkness.
The penultimate stop on my Halloween quest to play through the neglected horror games in my Steam library brings me to Alan Wake's American Nightmare.
I didn't abandon my Halloween quest to play through neglected Horror games on my Steam list, I just got behind uploading them. Here's the first game I played on actual All Hallows' Eve: Condemned: Criminal Origins.
In it, you play as Ethan Thomas as he investigates gruesome murders and mysterious goings on in derelict buildings whilst administering justice to crazed thugs using nothing but a bent rebar and his mighty boot.
A slight detour from my Halloween trip through the neglected horror games on my Steam list to play a brand new[ish] release, Typing of the Dead: Overkill.
Combining the grindhouse schlock of House of the Dead Overkill with the Dreamcast classic Typing of the Dead, you wield your keyboard and kill zombies with harsh words.
The next stop on my neglected Steam Horror games list in honour of Halloween is Anna: The Extended Edition.
The game involves [attempting] to solve puzzles in order to unravel the mysteries of an abandoned saw mill, whilst an unseen figure sobs relentlessly in a nearby room.
In the run up to Halloween, I'm using it as an excuse to try out some of the horror related games I've neglected from my Steam library.
First up is Lucius, a third person action game where you take on the role of a devil child attempting to impress your dad with copious amounts of murder.
My complete birthday book batch, featuring:
- Reading in the Brain: The New Science of How We Read - Stanislas Dehaene
- The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman
- Super iam8bit: More Art Inspired by Classic Video Games of the 80's - Jon M.Gibson
- The Future is Japanese - Kaikasoru

A quick look at Sokobond, a crisp, beautiful chemistry-themed puzzle game that is smart, fun and educational. Go find out more and preferably buy it here: http://www.sokobond.com/
Play Time - Gone Home
I have just finished Gone Home and it is absolutely as good as everyone says. It's a beautiful game that understands that a personal journey is much more interesting than an epic quest; that tiny victories outweigh heroic triumphs; and that the right song at the right time is surely more rewarding than saving the universe could ever be.
Playing Gone Home first hand is such a huge part of the experience and makes it so personal and so special that, even if you're not a 'gamer', you should really give it a go. It's an important example of how games can achieve their potential for a unique experience when not attempting to emulate the film industry. If you're still not sure/can't play/are afraid to play, I've recorded my entire play through so you can get a hint of what you're missing. You'll have to put up with my voice, comments, and general reminiscing over the top mind, but it serves you right for not taking my advice.
Part 1 - In which the audio quality is poor and I'm too tired to make connections, but the game shines regardless.
Part 2 - In which an improved microphone allows clearer discussion of disaffected youth culture, the power of the voice acting, and my obsession with checking every tissue box.
Part 3 - In which secrets are revealed, the adventure concludes, and fuzzy feelings are had.
Visit the lovely, cool, clever people who made the game at: http://thefullbrightcompany.com/
Buy the game on Steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/232430/
I've recently started to dabble with recording various bits and bobs. This was my first ever attempt at a Spelunky Daily Challenge, inspired by Tom Francis' Spelunky Explorers' Club, after only about an hour of experience with the game itself. Audio isn't great, but I'm working on that. Enjoy my suffering.
A day which starts with the arrival of a Brütal Legend art book, complete with Tim Shafer scribble inside, is a good day for sure. Thanks Double Fine! \m/ \m/

It has already been ten months since the first Core i7 chips were released, bringing processor performance to new heights. The QX9770 was no longer king of the hill, being replaced by the equally expensive, but much faster, Core i7 965 based on the full featured Nehalem architecture. The Bloomfield lineup proved to be excellent multithreaded performers, thanks in part to the return of Intel's HyperThreading technology.
Since then, Intel has been nearly silent in terms of launching new products. They quietly introduced a couple more Core i7s with updated core frequencies, thus replacing the 3.2GHz king by a 3.33GHz monster, named the Core i7 975. Without any doubt, this processor is the king of the hill when it comes down to raw performance. All that for a bargain basement price. Right now it can be yours for as low as a grand. Of course, there's the 2.66GHz Core i7 920 which comes in at a much more reasonable $280 USD.
That's where AMD comes into play. Their K10.5 architecture, as shown in most tests, cannot rival Nehalem parts at equal frequency. Being second in terms of performance, AMD has no choice but to offer very competitive prices, in function of the performance its processor delivers. AMD's flagship processor is sold for tad less than $250 USD. This might get the attention of anyone buying a computer on a budget, since the Core i7 platform is more expensive all around, from the triple channel memory kits to the X58 motherboards.
That's where the need for a mainstream oriented platform based on Intel's Nehalem architecture comes from. With the launch of the cheaper Core i5 and i7 processors built on the Lynnfield core, many people are hoping to finally get their hands on the bleeding edge toys. In fact, the Core i5 750, on launch today, sells for $199, whereas the i7 920 costs $279.99. What do you get for such a low price and are there also higher-end versions that might still be affordable? Let's take a peek at the specifications of the new Lynnfield processors.

New Intel Core Microarchitecture (Nehalem) 45nm
The first noticeable thing is that Intel allowed the maximum turbo frequency to scale much higher than with previous Core i7 processors. In fact, Lynnfield processors can bump their multiplier by up to five notches. The memory channels are down to two, however the memory frequency is the same and desktop computers aren't exactly starving memory bandwidth so it shouldn't have a large impact on overall performance, if any.
Another great innovation is that the PCI-Express 2.0 controller is now on the processor's die. It has 16 lanes, so it can run either one 16x or two 8x slots, although most manufacturers will opt for the latter in order to support two graphic cards in either CrossFire or SLI. The X58 chipset could handle up to four video cards, however, keep in mind that Lynnfield parts are targeted at a mainstream audience. Compared to the i7 9x0 series, the TDP dropped 35W, from 130W to 95W. Bloomfield's run hot so I am happy to see an improvement here.
Next, the die size and transistor count is a tad higher due to the integrated PCI-E controller. Also, on the X58 platform, communication between the processor and the northbridge is done using an extremely fast QPI link while Direct Media Interface, or DMI for short, is used between the north and southbridge. Since the PCI-E lanes are now directly on the processor, the need for bandwidth has been greatly reduced so Lynnfield dumps QPI in favor of DMI. Furthermore, the new platform now consists of a dual-chip solution - a processor connected directly to the platform controller hub, or PCH for short, which is the new fancy and admittedly more accurate name for southbridge.
Therefore, this compensates for the larger processor die size. In fact, the package size as a whole is reduced by 40% compared to a 45nm Core 2 Quad, P45 chipset and ICH10. The idle power consumption is also down by a rather impressive 50%.
The P55 chip is essentially what we used to refer as the southbridge. In fact, it is extremely similar to Intel's ICH10. The chip is highly integrated and contains a whooping 14 USB ports, 8 PCI-Express 1.0 lanes, Gigabit LAN, HD audio and six SATA2 ports.
Basically, new Core i5 and i7 parts based on Lynnfield core and accompanied by Intel's latest P55 chipset brings more performance and lower power consumption while keeping pricing in line with an AMD Phenom II based platform.
While Bloomfield was seemingly huge with its 1366 pins, reducing the number of pins down to 1156 allowed Intel to make a physically smaller processor. As you can see in the following picture, it is comparable in size to a socket 775 processor. It also has a few contacts on top of it, just like previous Bloomfield processors.
In fact, it is exactly same size as the LGA775 processors, although the contacts are much smaller and densely packed so they can fit in the same area. It's pretty impressive they were able to cram nearly 400 more pins on the same surface.
If you have ever seen a stock heatsink from a Bloomfied processor, you most likely noticed that it is much bigger than the one Intel made for 45m LGA775 processors. Now that the TDP is back down to a reasonable 95W, the same as a Core 2 Quad excluding the low power editions, the heatsink is also back to a thinner design.
Obviously, many aftermarket heatsinks from different manufacturers will hit the market in the near future in order to satisfy the enthusiast in each of us. As always, Thermalright products are up for the new challenge. To cool the new Lynnfield processors, we were provided the brand new MUX-120. Visually, it looks like the "TRUE", for Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, which is one of best air cooled heatsinks we've used. In order to reduce airflow restriction, the fins are slightly inclined toward the top or bottom, depending on the side. It is equipped with a fan generating between 35 and 66.5 CFM and spinning between 1000 and 1500 RPM while emitting a reasonable 19.6 to 37.4 dBa. As for the mounting system, Thermalright opted for push-pins. While it is without doubt simple and people may like this system for its easier installation, enthusiasts generally prefer a more robust mount with a backplate.
The motherboard provided by Intel with these new processors is the DP55KG, part of their Extreme series. On the back of the box, the motherboard layout is thorougly explained. It is also shown that the Lynnfield processors and the P55 chipset are a "Revolutionary Two-Chip Layout", much like the NVIDIA Ion platform. While we're talking about NVIDIA, the Kingsberg board is SLI-ready, unlike the first X58 motherboards. Most X58 motherboards are now SLI-certified and all of them, assuming they have the necessary PCI-E slots, support CrossFire. The vast majority of P55 boards should also support both CrossFire and SLI.
Looking at the motherboard, there is no doubt that one chip is apparently missing. While we are accustomed to see large northbridge heatsinks, this one simply has none, since well, there's no northbridge. The PCH chip fills the southbridge's role and has been located where we would normally find it. It is dressed with a tiny aluminum heatsink.
Starting in the top left corner, we have the usual processor power connector and its 4-pin fan header. The voltage regulators' heatsink isn't anything fancy, but it gets the job done. What's rather unusual here is the internal USB port. It works exactly like any other USB port. What can it be used for? Well, it's a clever spot for something to be left in there permanently like a thumbdrive or a WLAN module. It's up to you to find other great usages for it!
The memory slots are, as always. in the top right corner. There are four of them since the Lynnfield processors are back to standard dual-channel controllers. The ATX power connector is also at its usual place. Inbetween the two, at the top, is a small power button for those running open-air setups. On the side are USB, FireWire headers as well as the connectors for front panel buttons and LEDs. There's also another 4-pin fan connector.
Right under the PCH chip, you can find the eight SATA2 ports, the clear CMOS jumper and, dressed in green, the Bluetooth module. The skull actually works as a power LED and a HDD LED. When the computer is turned on, it is blue back-lit and its eyes can be set to blink according to the hard drive activity. This lighting can be turned on or off in the BIOS.
As for the expansion slots, there is only one full length PCI-E 16x. However, you can run a dual-graphics card setup since the lanes split in two 8x slots. Intel simply chose to put an open-ended 8x slot. There is also an open-ended x4 slot, as well as two 1x'. Two PCI slots have been kept for older legacy devices. Near them are two other 4-pin fan connectors and the front panel audio header.
Between the socket and the expansion slots is the CMOS battery and a LED debugger, which can come in handy in some situations where the board refuses to successfully boot.
The I/O panel is comprised of a whooping eight USB ports, a single FireWire and Gigabit LAN ports, two eSATA and the usual six audio analog connectors. The innovations are the dual optical output and a button that allows you to recover a bad overclock. However, instead of simply clearing the BIOS settings, it forces the system to load default settings, while keeping your old ones so you don't have to start from scratch.
As for accessories, Intel supplies an arguably ghetto Bluetooth antenna. The actual antenna looks pretty bad and the standard UFL connector is far from ideal for a consumer product. However, it works very well and I had no trouble pairing a couple Bluetooth devices with it. There is also a SLI bridge as well as the rear panel connector and the mandatory manual.
Now that we have thorougly examined the socket 1156 platform, let's get to testing!
I will test two out of the Lynnfield processors released today : the Core i5 750 and Core i7 870. They will be put against the latest AM3 offerings from AMD, as well as Intel's Core i7 920 and two Core 2 processors. The AMD and Core 2 quad-cores have a raw clock speed advantage, however, the newest Lynnfield's can match or even best them with their secret weapon : Turbo mode. Therefor, I will test them with both this mode enabled and disabled in order to see the impact on overall performance.
As for the benchmarks, there will be a set of system benches and another set of gaming benches. Fraps will be used to record the FPS in both Call of Duty: World at War and Bioshock whereas for all other gaming tests, the built-in benchmarking tool will be used. All of these will be ran at 3 different resolutions except Call of Juarez, Lost Planet and World in Conflict where the minimum settings will be used to prevent a bottleneck from the graphics card.

Overclocking the new Lynnfield processors, in both i5 and i7 flavors, is not only similar, but actually identical to overclocking a Bloomfield like the Core i7 920. The processors have a base clock (BCLK), which the processor's core, uncore (integrated memory controller and cache) clocks and the memory derive their clock from. By default, it is set at 133 MHz.
Once processor limitations were put aside by lowering the multiplier, I set off to find the maximum BCLK the DP55KD could reach. While many of the X58 motherboard's could reach 200 MHz with relative ease, the sample Intel board used in this review could only manage a measly 182 MHz. Past this speed, it showed obvious signs of instability, from corruption to blue screens and freezes. Fortunately, it only required 1.30V Uncore to get there. Then, I simply moved the processor's multiplier back to its default value and increased the voltage slightly above 1.3V.
Surprisingly, it proceeded to boot into Windows without any issues. However, it wasn't quite stable yet, but nothing some more voltage couldn't fix. Here are the final overclocked settings used in this review.
Core i5 750
Core i7 870
Power Consumption
Intel has definitely done its homework in order to keep power consumption down. Using out of the box settings, the quad-core Core i5 750 actually manages to draw less power than a similar system using a dual-core processor. Once the clock is forced to always remain at 2.66 GHz, the system draws an extra 30W under both idle and load conditions. It's pretty clear the power saving features are doing their job and when Turbo kicks in it should improve performance as well. Overclocking doesn't affect idle consumption, although it draws 46 more Watts under load.
The Core i7 870 tells a similar story, but this HyperThreading-enabled processor does require quite a bit more power than it's little brother. When it's idle with default settings it's saving 42W compared to when it's forced to always run at 2.93 GHz. The 9W difference under load isn't quite as drastic, but it's still better than nothing. Once overclocked, it draws 42 more Watts under load.
Sandra, by SiSoftware, is a tool capable of benchmarking about every component found inside a computer. The processor arithmetic and multi-core efficiency will be ran as well as the memory bandwidth and latency benchmarks.
Right from the start, the new Lynnfield processors make a great impression. In the processor arithmetic test, the Core i7 870 takes the lead above the i7 920, which just can't keep up due to it's clock speed disadvantage. The Core i5 750 sports the same clock speed as the i7 920, although it lacks HyperThreading support, which makes its scores dip below the mark set by the i7 920. However, it does keep a slight edge over AMD's latest Phenom's. The Q9650 just can't keep up with the rest of the quad-cores, while the E8400's performance simply seems mediocre.
Enabling Turbo mode gives the i7 870 a 8.5% performance boost, while the i5 750 gains a lesser, but not negligible, 5,1%. Not bad for an out of the box, dynamic and safe overclock.
The scenario changes a bit in the multi-core efficiency test where the i7 920's third memory channel gives it an edge over the 870. The Q9650's 3 GHz clock manages to rank above the i5 750. Turbo gives them very little performance in this case. However, overclocking takes both of them back in the lead. The dual-core E8400 is once again left behind, while the Phenom's strangely score very low in this benchmark.
When it comes to memory bandwidth, nothing comes near to the full fledged Core i7 920 and its triple channel memory configuration. That doesn't stop the i7 870 from scoring very well, only taking a 27% performance hit. The i5 750 doesn't do quite as well since its memory speed is locked to 1333 MHz, although overclocking can overcome this limitation. However, that's still enough to keep both Phenom's at bay, while the last generation Core 2's are way behind.
In the memory latency benchmark, both Core i7's end up with a comparable results, while the i5 750 is right in line with its direct competitor - AMD's Phenom. However, the i5 750 is only running memory at only 1333 MHz, while the Phenom's can and are set to run at 1600 MHz. Overclocking gives the i5 750 are fairly large improvement for that reason.
HandBrake is an open-source application used to transcode media files to other formats. It is multi-threaded so it exploits the power of modern quad-cores really well.
It's pretty obvious HandBrake really enjoys the HT-enabled processors, but it also craves for memory bandwidth. The i7 920 and its three memory channels takes the top stop above the the i7 870, which still shows great performance. The i5 750 alone isn't quite enough to beat the equally priced Phenom 955, but Turbo mode gives it enough extra power to pull ahead.
Enabling Turbo gives the i7 870 a modest 6% advantage, while it allows the i5 750 to cut its time by almost 7%.
POV-Ray, for Persistence of Vision Raytracer, is a 3D rendering software that has impressive photorealistic capabilities.
This benchmark also benefits from HT and especially high clocks, which takes the i7 870 above the i7 920. The i5 750's lower 2.66 GHz clock speed isn't enough to overtake either of the Phenom's. The previous generation Core 2's are, again, left at the bottom of the chart.
Intel's Turbo mode once again gives the new Lynnfield processors a welcome performance boost. The i7 870's nearly scores an extra 10%, while the i5 750 gains a more moderate 5%.
Everyone knows WinRAR, so no need to explain what it is. I will compress our custom 100MB, 500MB and 1000MB files using the best compression setting, in the ZIP format.
Results in this benchmark are fairly chaotic, which is one of the reasons why it's most likely the last time you'll be staring at it. Both of Intel's Lynnfield processors get beaten by AMD's Phenom's. However, Turbo Boost gives them a healthy performance increase.
Cinebench 10 is another rendering program, also optimized for many-core processors. I will run both the single-threaded benchmark as well as the multi-threaded.
In this benchmark, the i7 870 takes a comfortable lead over its cousin the i7 920. It also stays out of reach of AMD's Phenom's which pose no real threat to Intel's eight-thread processor in heavily multithreaded benchmarks. When Turbo is disabled, the i5 750 sits right under the similarly priced Phenom II 955, although it climbs right back up once you enable Turbo. Once more, the Core 2's occupy the bottom of the chart.
Turbo offers the i7 870 a 8% performance boost in Cinebench and the i5 750 nearly gains an extra 7%.
In case PCMark is a benchmarking suite from FutureMark, who also make the reknown 3DMark. It includes many tests to calculate overall system performance like hard drive speed, memory and processor power. It is a fairly good indicative of general real-world performance.
A quick look at the results shows that PCMark does not benefit from having more than four threads available. Thus, the i7 870 ends up ahead of both Phenom's, although the 965 isn't far behind. When it comes to the i5 750, the roles change. Intel's mainstream offering scores slightly under AMD's 955. However, Turbo easily overcomes this situation.
This benchmark really seems to enjoy the extra power provided by Intel's Turbo. In fact, it increases the i7 870's score by 13% and the i5 750's by an impressive 17%.
Demo's of those two gaming benchmarks can be downloaded for free. Call of Juarez is made by Ubisoft whereas World in Conflict is developed by Massive Entertainment. We run them at the lowest settings possible so the score isn't GPU-bound. It implies running a low resolution of 1024x768 for Call of Juarez and 800x600 for World in Conflict. This way, the processors' true power is exhibited.
Even at those low settings, it's hard to draw any clear conclusion's from Call of Juarez other than the fact that the game uses at most two cores. Every Intel processor scores within a margin of error, while the Phenom's are slightly behind, but only by a few frames.
This game also favors Intel processors. Even the i5 750 surpasses AMD's Phenom II 965. It's also interesting to note that the more expensive i7 920 platform doesn't perform any better than the Lynnfield processors in both of these games.
Lost Planet is a game developed by CAPCOM. It features a built-in benchmark which will be run at the lowest settings like the previous ones, including a resolution of 800x600. It has two different runs; one takes place in a cave whereas the other one is in a snow landscape.
In this game's benchmark, the processors perform just like their price tag suggests, except for the Core 2's which are, once again, sitting at the bottom. The higher clocked and more expensive i7 870 outperforms the full fledged i7 920 while the i5 750 very closely follows the Phenom 955.
Left 4 Dead is a first-person shooter developed by Valve. It uses the Source Engine. Four survivors must fight against infected people in order to reach a safe area.
Once we bring in a slightly more graphic intensive benchmark, the processors perform extremely similarly and whichever you choose hardly matters. However, the quad-core parts from both Intel and AMD are clearly ahead of Intel's own dual-core, showing quad-cores do prove useful in some games.
Crysis Warhead is a standalone expansion pack of the original Crysis. It uses an enhanced and optimized version of the CryEngine.
Just like in Valve's Left 4 Dead, the processor doesn't really have an effect on performance in Crysis. Each and every processor delivers an excellent gaming experience up to 1650x1080, while the higher resolution is more or less playable depending on your standards.
Bioshock is a creepy first person shooter. It is the oldest of the games in our benchmarking suite, hence the high framerates.
This benchmark favors AMD's Phenom's, which manage to keep both Lynnfield's at bay. Other than that, the i7 870 somewhat justifies its price tag by once again pulling ahead of the i5 750 which also happens to pull ahead of both Core 2's.
Far Cry 2 is yet another first person shooter, but this one has been developed by Ubisoft. The story takes place in Africa, where the ultimate goal is to get rid of an arms dealer.
While both of Intel's Lynnfield's show off very similar results, they also are slightly slower than AMD's offerings and even the Core 2 Quad manages to keep ahead by a hair or two. This is also one of the few games where jumping from a dual to a quad-core does provide a notable difference.
While some think, or rather thought, of Lynnfield as Intel's Celeron version of Nehalem, in reality it's far more than that. Lynnfield did lose a couple features from the fully fledged Bloomfield core used in Core i7 920, 950 and 975. However, the Core i7 870 only gives up the third memory channel, while the Core i5 also loses HyperThreading support.
The Core i5 does have a another slight disadvantage. At stock speeds, it can only run memory at a maximum of 1333 MHz, 1600 MHz settings and up are locked just like early Core i7 920's were.
This is Intel's way of bringing their fastest architecture to the masses and, after seeing today's results, it's safe to say it was a good decision. It will not only successfully bring down some of the processor's prices, but also dramatically reduce overall platform cost. The Core 2 line of processors can now rest in peace, there is no reason to even consider such a system at this point.
The following chart shows the relative performance of the i5 750 compared to its direct competitors as well as Intel's own past generation quad-core and the popular E8400 to show how much of an improvement you will see from jumping to the latest mainstream platform.
In terms of performance, there is no doubt Lynnfield is a worthy replacement of Intel's Core 2 line of processors. It only lost three benchmarks and then the Core i5 750 took the remaining ones with a comfortable margin. The most interesting opponents here are AMD's Phenom's. Even though the 955 has a raw clock speed advantage of over 500 MHz, the i5 750 still is 6,6% faster on average. The 965 decreases that gap slightly more, although 3.4 GHz still isn't quite enough to call it a winner.
Let's take a closer look at the Core i7 870's performance now. AMD doesn't compete in that price segment, but I included the Phenom II 965's results for reference.
The Phenom II 965 and Core i5 750 are clearly no match for the expensive i7 870, which pulls ahead of them with ease. The i7 920 keeps the 870 on its toes even though it has a 233 MHz clock speed handicap, showing that the third memory channel does help in many benchmarks.
One of the much touted features of Lynnfield is the improved Turbo Boost. While Bloomfield processors also come with Turbo, they can only increase their multiplier by one notch. Lynnfield can take it up by up to five steps depending on the processor's load. I pulled results from our most processor intensive benchmarks and compared them with and without Turbo Boost enabled.
Needless to say that this feature is more than a simple gimmick. It gave between 5% and nearly 17% performance increase without requiring any sort of user intervention.
Before drawing any more conclusions, let's take a look at Intel's and AMD's pricing structure. Take note that Lynnfield pricing is based on 1000 units trays, so prices at your favorite retailer might and most likely will be higher until dust settles down.
Intel places their Core i5 750 right in line with AMD's Phenom II 955, which makes sense considering their performance. The Core i7 860 and 870 are priced similarly to Intel's own 920 and 950, respectively. However, looking strictly at the processor's pricing doesn't tell the whole story. Once you start adding the other primary components, Lynnfield suddenly looks more attractive to the mainstream market.
After picking a mid-range motherboard and memory to match each setup and adding up the numbers, it is clear that Lynnfield's platform price and performance are really interesting. A Core i5 750 based system will cost slightly less than a Phenom II 965, while simultaneously performing slightly better. Sitting between the i7 920 and 950, the Core i7 870 is, price-wise, in a totally different league, which doesn't reflect its performance. The sweet spot is undoubtedly the Core i7 860. At about $500, it hits a price point that should fit in many people's budget, while only being 133 MHz short of the i7 870.
Overall, both flavors of Lynnfield are great processors. At stock speeds, the i5 750 doesn't eclipse AMD's offerings as far as performance goes, but clock-for-clock Intel is far ahead. In fact, their 2.66 GHz processor manages to keep up and beat AMD's 3.4 GHz chip, albeit with Turbo which does provide a notable performance boost.
The i5 750 also draws very slightly less power at idle, but under load, it saves over 100W compared to the AMD's Phenom II's. Once you factor in overclocking, the gap only widens in favor of Intel. The best part? The price difference between them is negligible -- until AMD's next price cut at least.
I can already hear people asking if upgrading to Lynnfield from a Phenom II or Core 2 Quad system is worth it. Fortunately, the answer is fairly straightforward. If you can afford it and use a lot of processor intensive multi-threaded tasks, sure. However, if your main usage is gaming, especially at resolutions of 1650x1080 and above, investing in a better video card would be a better investment.
Finally, if you have been sitting on a dual-core system and holding out your upgrades, now is the perfect time to jump on the quad-core bandwagon without breaking the bank. They are faster, cheaper and less power hungry than ever.
While I wholeheartedly recommend the Core i5 750 to anyone looking to build a new computer, the Core i7 870 is a bit more of a mixed bag. There is no doubt that it's a fast chip. In fact, it's really fast, so if bleeding edge technology turns you on, then go for it. However, I find it hard to justify the price tag. The i7 860 seems like a much better option. At 2.8 GHz, it will only be slightly slower and priced about the same as the i7 920, but the savings add up once you add the other parts. I predict the i7 860 to be an excellent seller that gamers and overclockers alike will enjoy.
Speaking of overclocking, even though Intel's DP55KG motherboard gave me some trouble, they both overclocked extremely well. Better in fact than the i7 920's I have played with. As you will see soon enough, I had no issues reaching in excess of 4 GHz on another motherboard. On air cooling, Lynnfield overclocks at least as high as the Phenom's. Therefor, if you plan on leaving the stock clocks behind in favor of an healthy overclock, each and every Lynnfield will be faster than an equally clocked Phenom II.
Intel's manufacturing process has definitely improved since the chips now require less voltage to run at the same clocks. They also draw a lot less power and thus don't heat up as much, reducing the need of a beefy heatsink to keep temperatures under control. However, the heat scales up quickly once you start increasing voltages.
So the mainstream iteration of Nehalem has now hit the street -- and it should be a success story. The benchmarking numbers speak for themselves, no matter how you look at them. As of right now, the Core i5 750 and i7 860 are superior options to AMD's latest quad-cores, while the Core i7 870 will cater to the wealthier enthusiasts who crave for the fastest thing around.

The irreverent and satiric script served as inspiration for the sets, which play with design conventions and scale while creating a totally believable world where the story can unfold. Rockwell Group led the production team in the creation of the film's unexpected visual language and simplified views of cities. The far-flung backdrops for the crazy cast of marionettes include Paris, Cairo, New York, Kim Jung Il's Palace, and the team's headquarters.

The Vikings have three seventh rounders to use up this year after Rick Spielman's spate of trades.
Seventh round pick #1 is used on UConn DT Shamar Stephen.
The 6-5, 309 pound Stephen is viewed as a large and powerful run stuffer who will give you very little as a pass rusher, at least in the initial stages of his NFL development.
So, the Vikings appear to have just drafted a potential back up to Linval Joseph at the nose tackle position.
Mike Zimmer gives himself another defensive line piece to play with.
The Vikings have now gone defense with three straight picks.

The British are known for pushing the boundaries of underground art, but somehow they always manage to offer new surprises. The latest is a troop of pole dancing robots (yes, as in stripper) equipped with CCTV heads. The full-motion robots were recently unveiled at the Mutate Britain, Behind the Shutters Gallery in London. Artist Giles Walker perfectly meshed the UK's new national symbol (the CCTV) with robotics in a way that almost makes their Orwellian future sexy. You can check out the sexed up robots in action here.

A skin care line contacted us about carrying their product and asked a very interesting question " What do you believe is the Travellers preference, larger product sizes which can be packed and repacked over a number of trips, or "use and lose", lower cost, small sizes like 4-10 ml tubes which can be disposed of when packing to go home?"
In response to their question " I would say that in the ideal situation travelers would prefer to use their favorite large size products on their trips; however, the issue that they are faced with at airport security is if the bottle isn't marked with a net wt claim (they've purchased a clear travel sized bottle from the drugstore and filled it with their favorite product) they risk the bottle being taken away by security. Additionally, offering products in smaller sizes allows consumers to test the product before committing to a full size product. Kate and I believe that all beauty products should be offered in a travel size version!"

TSA-friendly skincare site eschews advertising in launch
NEW YORK: The founders of a new e-commerce skincare site, 3floz.com, hope a viral marketing strategy will lead to a successful launch of the Web site in January… (full article for PR Week subscribers only)
The official TSA 3-1-1 Liquid Carry-On Rule
3-ounce containers or smaller of liquids, gels, creams, pastes & aerosols1 quart- size, clear plastic, zip-top bag holding all 3-ounce or smaller containers1 bag per traveler is allowed to be carried onto the plane
www.3floz.com is the brainchild of Kate Duff and Alexi Mintz, two former co-workers who bring a combined 11 years of experience in the beauty industry. Kate and Alexi became friends while working together by connecting over their love of travel. They often travelled together for work, but each one very differently. Kate was a "check" girl, while Alexi always carried-on. Alexi always thought Kate checked her bags because at 5'1" she couldn't reach the overhead bins, while Kate thought Alexi carried-on due to fear of lost luggage. Turns out Kate just wasn't willing to give up her beauty regime no matter where or how long she was traveling for, while Alexi on the other hand was willing to sacrifice (and was content to borrow Kate's products)! The problem was, Alexi couldn't always get Kate to share her products, and Kate was also forced to travel with mild anxiety that her shampoo would explode all over her clothing. Together they spent hours upon hours going from shops to websites wondering why there wasn't a place to get TSA-friendly versions of their favorite products all at once.
3floz.com was born out of their desires to have their favorite beauty products with them wherever they go without sacrificing convenience. 3floz.com only carries products that founders Kate and Alexi have tried themselves and/or currently use, resulting in a well-curated selection of the finest in the market.

Patch Call
Patch Call
The Astoria, Oregon, Police Department was instituted in 1879 and is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the western United States. The patch of its police department prominently depicts the Astoria Column, built in 1920 to commemorate the end of the railroad in the West. The column, which overlooks the city, is modeled after Trajan's column in Rome. In the background is a section of the Astoria-Megler Bridge.
In the background of the Bartonville, Illinois, Police Department patch is an outline of the state with a star indicating Bartonville's location. The rocket depicted on the left is the symbol of Limestone Community High School, whose art students designed the patch, while the steel ladle on the right represents the Keystone Steel and Wire Company. The large building at the bottom represents the Peoria State Mental Hospital, opened in 1902 and closed 70 years later.

Via Alloro Restaurant Review: Via Alloro is another upscale Italian restaurant from the Drago empire, this time from brothers Giacomino and Tanino. In a departure from the traditional European style décor one might expect, diners will find a modern space featuring a circular room as well as an outdoor patio. The menu includes starters like turkey meatballs with spinach and mozzarella, octopus carpaccio, and fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta. There are pizzas and pastas, as well as a large range of entrées. Branzino, or Mediterranean sea bass, is served in a sauce of black olives, capers and tomato, while whole Dover sole is simply oven-baked with lemon. Lamb chops come pan-roasted with spinach gnocchi, and baked sausages are served atop "Mamma Drago" tomato stew. Warm pistachio cake and cannoli stuffed with ricotta and orange mousse are among the top desserts. There is a lengthy line-up of artisanal cocktails, and the wine list is predominantly Italian.

Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them "Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every circumstance, in every place and in every time. In every joy, every Sorrow, every defeat and every victory? Only one answer for all my questions? Something, which can help me when none of you is available to advise me? Tell me is there any mantra?" All the wise men were puzzled by the King's question. They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested something, which appealed to all of them. They went to the king and gave him something written on paper, with a condition that the king was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way, only then he can see it. The King put the papers under his diamond ring. Some time later, the neighbors attacked the Kingdom. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. The King had to flee on his horse. The...

Soft Power. Joseph Nye is known as the father of the concept. He defines soft power as: "Power is the ability to affect others to obtain the outcomes you want. One can affect their behavior in three main ways: threats of coercion ("sticks"); inducements or payments ("carrots") and attraction that makes others want what you want. A country may obtain the outcomes it wants in world politics because other countries want to follow it, admiring its values, emulating its example, aspiring to its level of prosperity and openness." Importance of Soft Power . One could go on and on and on. How important is sft power may be imagined from the fact that in an address to the party, Chinese president, Hu Jintao said that China should "enhance culture as part of the soft power of our country to better guarantee the people's basic cultural rights and interests." He continued by adding that, "culture has become a more and more important source of national cohesion and creativity and a factor of...

Nearly 4 decades ago. As a 21 plus, recently commissioned second lieutenant (2/Lt) I found myself posted to a field area in my first unit comprising Sikh troops. There was loads to be learnt - no formal syllabus - no appointed instructors - little in terms or guidelines - one was required to know just about everything - all by yesterday - multitasked to the hilt. I had no office. Most of the time was spent with the troops - training grounds, sports fields, firing ranges, cookhouses dining halls, equipment stores, living lines. Our troops my constant companions –- interactions with the officers (all seniors) was limited to a few minutes in a day - comprising highly formal exchanges (with me mostly listening). I found the troops good mentors guides - it was they who guided me in my daily functioning - regimental procedures history, sikhism, spoken punjabi (adjectives included), technical gunnery, man management, logistics procedures, accounting, disciplinary procedures - I could go...

Laura Lee Sheehan Will See George Strait
Laura Lee Sheehan was badly burned and injured in a house explosion in September of 2012.
Laura Lee Sheehan was badly burned and injured in a house explosion in September of 2012.
Superstar George Strait may be retiring from the road, but we expect to see a new album from the 60-year-old entertainer in 2013. Though Strait has announced that his concert dates in 2013 and 2014 will be the last of his career, he is working on songs for a new studio record, and he plans to continue recording an album every year.
George Strait announced his farewell tour, and we have tickets!
Oh no! In what seems to be a Halloween takeover, zombies have suspended on Nashville. Officials are warning area residents -- and country music fans in general -- to stay away from any artist suspected to have a taste for flesh.
The boy who Taylor Swift invited to the ACM Awards responded via video today. He's fighting cancer and had invited Swift to prom last week. George Strait is also sick, but thankfully things don't seem to be nearly as dire — although he did have to do something almost unheard of to his fans.
Congratulations are in order for the legendary George Strait, who is now a proud (and might we add very cool) grandpa! Strait's songwriting son Bubba and his wife Tamara welcomed their first child into the world last Thursday, Feb. 2, as announced by the glowing Gramps from onstage in Phoenix, Ariz. last week. Local country radio station KMLE broke the news following Strait's show Friday night.
Congrats to King George! George Strait now has 85 Top 10 Singles in his career!
George Strait ALWAYS sounds good, no matter what year it was recorded! This is the XL CLASSIC COUNTRY JUKEBOX!
George Strait's 2012 tour will kick off on January 27 in Lafayette, La. and include at least 11 shows across the southern half of the country. The 'Here For a Good Time' hitmaker previously announced that Martina McBride would open all shows on the tour. Plus like XL Country on our facebook page, click the George Strait Contest link on the left and get entered to win an Autographed Guitar!
Today is the first day of our George Strait Autographed Guitar Sweepstakes. We will be accepting entries until November 30th for a chance to win an autographed guitar from Country legend, George Strait. It only takes a brief moment to sign up.
Enter Contest Here
I say it all the time on XL Country...I am a George Strait fan! Love all of his music. So with that, Congratulations are in order for George Strait, who just added yet another number one record to his awe-inspiring list of chart-topping hits.
Strait's new album, 'Here for a Good Time,' debuted on top of the Billboard country charts this week, surging past Jason Aldean and Jake Owen with more than 91,000 copies sold.
It's no secret I am a George Strait fan. LOVE his stuff. All of it. I've had the opportunity to see him all the way back in the beginning, in 1981 and have seen him at least a dozen times since. Sure all he does is stand there and sing...but by-george, that's all he needs to do!

Samsung External hard drive
1) I recently bought a samsung external hard (1500GB). The problem with it was that i couldn't use it on my playstation 3. i was told to format it to Fat32 (something like that), to which i used someone's link which was provided to me. After formatting it, it was still not working on my PS and to make things worse, it was now not detecting on my PC. I use Windows 7. Can someone please help with both aspects of the problem.
thank you

Install free Partition Wizard which will often detect a drive when Windows won't. If so make sure it has a letter, or else rightclick to Add Letter.
If it still doesn't show up in Windows or PS, delete the partition and create a new Primary one in the native (NTFS?) format of the external HD. Assign a letter. Do not mark Active.
If problems persist, rightclick the drive to Check File System and if necessary run Surface Scan.

This disc is in excellent unthrown condition with no ink. The disc is a solid greenish color with a beautiful metallic rainbow stock hot-stamp. Clearly this is a transition color and looks like a transition plastic too. Pre-star plastic this has the look of what star plastic eventually became. Likely some type of blend. Very cool. Some storage wear is on all of these discs because until now they had been stored without any protection but generally not very much. We'll give our best estimate of condition and ink on each disc. As well we will try to display at least three photos of each so you can take a look.
Around 2001 Innova was starting to experiment with what became known as "Candy Plastic". in their 2002 Catalog they should a whole line of Champion Edition "CE" models that would later be coveted as some of the most collectible of all golf discs. At the time all of us retailers were having a hard time keeping the plastic in stock and Innova was having an even harder time keeping up with demand. They said that the molding time for each individual disc was extremely long in comparison to what was DX and Pro plastics. So even though the price was higher customers realized that the extra durability of CE Plastic was well worth the additional price.
Information about current Innova's Champion plastic
In Gerneral the flight characteristics of CE Plastic tended to be more stable than that of the Champion plastic that followed.

Our extensive industrial valve inventory and reliable industry connections mean fast delivery of the right valves for you and your customers. Rather than waiting weeks, or even months, to get the valves you need from the original manufacturer, we often can ship within days - saving time and money.
Industrial valves that we don't have in our extensive warehouse, we can easily find thanks to our dependable network of quality and affordable suppliers. As suppliers to the petrochemical and oil/gas industries, our clients rely on us to provide a wide selection of valves, including the following:
We stock a full selection of valves in a variety of materials and styles, including:
American Production offers a variety of stainless steel valves - specializing in stainless steel gate valves, which are designed to permit high fluid flow with minor friction loss. However, beware that high volumes of fluid can cause quicker wear and tear, possibly leading to valve leaks. For best results, gate valves are recommended when dealing with thick/heavy liquids. Below is a list of the additional stainless steel valves that we offer:
Similar to stainless steel gate valves, cast steel gate valves should only be used when dealing with dense petroleum liquids because they can create a leak-proof seal when closed. However, cast steel gate valves are different, in that the type of lightweight metal (cast steel) they are composed is very rigid and can withstand heat. At American Production Valve, we offer the following cast steel valves:
American Production offers an array of cast iron valves – one being, globe valves, which allow for general throttling capabilities and have ON/OFF options when they are completely open or closed. We also offer the following cast iron valves as well:

Tender and Juicy: 3 Ways to Cook a Perfect Chicken Breast
Boneless skinless chicken breasts are one of the quickest, easiest, and healthiest cuts of meat to prepare, which is why they're featured in so many recipes for weeknight meals. But we're also constantly frustrated when these easy-peasy chicken breasts turn out dry and tasteless. Here are three methods that can help!
The reason chicken breasts often end up dry is actually one of the things we value about them: they have very little fat. Leaving the skin on and the bone in helps add some fat and keep breasts moist, but this isn't always what we want.
We've found that these three techniques really help keep those boneless skinless chicken breasts tasting good:
1. Low Heat Cooking - Cooking chicken breasts over low heat with a lid covering the pan helps them to retain almost all their moisture and prevents overcooking. It takes a few more minutes than normal, but it's well worth it!
2. Poaching - Poaching chicken breasts in a liquid also helps the breasts to retain moisture and it has the added benefit of giving the bland breasts some flavor. We like to add a little wine or some herbs to the poaching water. Simmering the breasts in broth or coconut milk is also delicious.
3. Dry Oven Poaching - This is a method for cooking chicken breasts in the oven using a buttered piece of parchment to seal in the juices. We find this method is the best when we're cooking multiple breasts and want to get them all done in a single batch.
Giving breasts a quick soak in a brine or marinade is another way of adding some flavor and moisture, no matter how you ultimately decide to cook them. Searing chicken breasts over high heat also gives breasts a savory depth.
What's your favorite method for cooking chicken breasts?

Marinate high heat, cooked fast, to get a good crust from the marinade. I use chicken strips so they cook through relatively easily, though it's also possible to braise them in the remaining marinade (or other liquid) if the outside is seared but the inside is raw.
if you've got time, let them hang out in the fridge in a saltwater brine for a day or two before you cook them. makes them moister!
"Sous vide." Place chicken breast in a ziplock bag with a little broth, butter and herbs and drop bag into a low temperature pot of water (under 200 F) until chicken reaches finished temperature 160-170 F. Take the chicken out of the bag, pat it dry, re-season and sear in a hot pan to crisp the skin or to brown a boneless cut.
I put my chicken breasts under the broiler and have never had a problem with them drying out....
Start with getting your chicken from a local farm/farmers' market and you'll have a big head start with flavor...most grocery store chicken is just lacking in flavor right from the start.
The moistest chicken you'll ever eat:
Pound out a chicken breast to 1/2" thick (or butterfly a normal breast). Dredge it in 2 Tbsp of flour sifted with 1 tsp each of salt and pepper. Shake off excess flour and let it hang out until pan is hot enough. Place 1 tbsp butter in a cold pan and turn heat up to medium. Once butter is melted and begins to foam, add the chicken breast and cook for 4:30-5 minutes per side. When the breast is 2 minutes from being done (i.e. after 2:30-3 minutes on the second side), add 1/3 cup of dry white wine and cover loosely.
Remove chicken to a plate and pour the wine/butter sauce over your chicken breast. Serve with your favorite side.
Sorry, that was supposed to be 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper. Too bad there isn't an edit button :(
marinate them in yogurt. we'll slather a couple of frozen breasts in yogurt in the morning, leave them in the fridge to defrost while we're at work, and cook them when we get home. all you need to do is blot off the yogurt and season however you like. it doesn't add any flavor to the chicken, just moisture.
I always just stick it in a pan with the lid on, medium heat, with whatever oil/seasonings I'm using. It gets a nice sear, cooks through and keeps moist because of the lid.
Chicken is great steamed! Steam the chicken, bone-in and with the skin. Dip in a sauce made of vegetable oil, chopped scallions, grated ginger, and salt - yum!
The best way to get moist chicken breast is to cook it with the skin on and skin side down for a long time. I don't understand why they're sold without skin in the U.S. (in Japan, they are always sold with skin).
I second Nogard13 - we call it smashed chicken at our house.
The BEST pan seared chicken breast method is from Cook's Illustrated. Wrap each breast in foil after you prick each side with a fork and sprinkle with a little Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Pop in a 275 degree oven for about 40 minutes. After that, brush each side with a slurry of melted butter, flour, and pepper, and brown in a pan for about 3 minutes each side. I make a quick pan sauce with mushrooms, marsala, herbs, and cream after that, but the chicken is guaranteed to be super moist and delicious no matter what!
FYI - The recipe for the above chicken is delicious! It was shared here a few years ago (http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/main-dish/recipe-chicken-with-shallotapricot-sauce-046297) and has become a favorite of mine. It goes great with some sauteed string beans and/or mashed potatoes.
I like to marinate them in maple syrup and hoisin sauce while we are at work and then bake them. It's an usual taste and delicious.
LaurieShuls: Thanks for the recipe link!
I second (or maybe third, not sure how many may have said this), but cooking chicken breasts under the broiler is relatively quick and the chicken comes out really moist. I usually flip the breasts halfway through so that both sides can brown evenly.
SO happy about this post. I need to expand my few "usual" ways of cooking boneless/skinless, and these sound marvy! I'm going to bookmark this and try many of them. (Art's sou vide makes me anxious but sounds delish. Has anyone else actually put a ziplock in a pot like that?)
Schnitzel is foolproof. have the butcher cut and pound it flat. dredge in flour-- then egg wash-- then panko crumbs. Fry in olive oil. squeeze a lemon over it and eat. your kid will never want a McNugget again.
This. Was. Amazing! I usually prefer thighs as well because they stay juicier, but I followed the directions above exactly and it turned out great! I mixed in montreal chicken seasoning with the flour. Will definitely be my "go-to" method with BSCBs!!!
Should have mentioned - I did method #1 (low heat cooking)
Buttermilk or yogurt marinade FTW. That is if you don't have to keep kosher.

The Chattanooga Metropolitan AirportPhoto by Dan Henry /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
A small airplane made a hard landing at the Chattanooga Metro Airport.
According to a spokesperson from the airport, the landing gear on a private two-seater plane did not engage and it had to make a hard landing.
The landing caused a 15-minute delay at Tac Air, but did not affect operations at the Chattanooga Metro Airport, the spokesman said.
No injuries were reported, but the plane received some damage.

"You can support gay marriage or you can be Christian, but you can't do both. You can pretend to do both, but you're giving up your Christian beliefs to be more palatable to people who are hostile to Christianity" -In your own damn opinion John Hawkins, and in your interpretation of the bible. I swear, where do people like this come from? I never encounter people who are flat out misogynist, homophobic, and whiny as this dude. Oh and FYI, the army denies what Phillip Monk is saying, but he said something about the GAY AGENDA, so it must be true!!!
In response to:
We didnt evolve from monkeys dude, we have a common ancestor, learn the facts.
In response to:
Fwi, PPP was more accurate with their 2012 predictions than Rasmusen and RCP, favorites of the right wing. The director believed the poll was mishandled and chose not to publish it.
In response to:
I thought I told you you were done??
In response to:
Really Sarah Jean Seman? I beg to differ on what "most of America" would agree to
In response to:
Please tell me Greg Hengler doesn't actually get paid for these 1 sentence posts
I agree with the "god help us if Cruz is the president" line, because he pals around with right wing evangelicals, HOWEVER, I have NO problem with him being the GOP nominee for president, because I Truly TRULY believe that he would lose, possible by a landslide. Can anyone here honestly say that the majority of the US, not just your friends and neighbors, believe in the conservative, right wing religious message? The support for immigration reform, gay marriage, and universal education, and the fact that they voted for Obama overwhelmingly both times, would suggest otherwise.
Oh wowwwwww your so witty, dang that was so awesome dude, your great!

(WKBW release) Roswell Park Cancer Institute on Wednesday issued a statement with respect to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Executive Budget Proposal issued Tuesday.
The statement reads:
In the Executive Budget released yesterday by Governor Cuomo, flat state support was recommended. In addition, capital funding that was eliminated from Roswell Park's state aid last year has been brought back: "up to $25 million in existing HEAL funding will be available to Roswell Park, bringing total State support to over $100 million. However, future funding is conditioned on Roswell expanding its collaboration in the Buffalo region and restructuring to allow a transition from State support by March 31, 2014."
In 1988, Roswell Park initiated discussions with New York State, seeking greater flexibility, and Phase I of this reorganization began with the creation of the RPCI public benefit corporation in 1997. The public benefit corporation, while it was a compromise, has been a great success, resulting in a 5-to-1 return on the state's investment, reducing reliance on New York State, creating 1,000 new jobs, nine new spinoff companies, a threefold increase in clinical revenues and doubling of research funding. The research conducted at Roswell Park over the last decade has resulted in new treatments and prevention techniques that have improved quality of life and increased survival rates for cancer patients.
We are energized by the opportunity to further refine the organizational structure of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. However, there are concerns about the proposed legislative language in its failure to recognize the complexities of state-imposed costs and mandates, the abbreviated timeframe proposed for transition, the need for ongoing research funding streams and the restrictive nature of the potential reconfiguration.
There are only 40 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States, and while New York State is home to three such centers, Roswell Park is the only one located outside of New York City — in upstate New York.
We know that the State recognizes the importance of the NCI designation, the integral role of research and education in the continued growth of the Institute and the superior clinical cancer care delivered at Roswell Park. We look forward to working with the Governor, the Commissioner of Health, other state officials, the Legislature and community leaders to solidify the future of the nation's first cancer center.
