request.REQUEST provides indifferent access to request.GET or request.POST (PHP style).
This attribute is a legacy from the pre-1.0 days, when you could access the GET or POST data using dict syntax on the request object. request.REQUEST was introduced in 1.0 to make this operation more explicit, with an easy upgrade path.
It's hardly ever a good design pattern to handle GET and POST identically, and it's our responsibility not to provide tools who are more likely to result in bad code than anything else. So I think it's time to deprecate this attribute.
We could deprecate django.utils.datastructures.MergeDict at the same time — it's a 100-lines long class whose sole purpose is to support request.REQUEST.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improving the reliability of high reliability systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to identifying connections of uninterruptible power supplies to system resources. 2. Description of the Related Art High reliability is often required in mission critical applications such as those that occur in medical, financial, communication, and military systems. Such systems can become very large and complex, involving numerous sub-systems that are integrated together by complex interconnections. For example, computer systems that process financial data can involve racks of hardware and can include hundreds of sub-systems, each with its own processors and power supplies. Another example is an Internet communication system that is comprised of numerous distributed servers. Such systems usually include a service processor that controls and integrates the individual sub-systems together under the direction of operating software. Reliability can be so important that some systems have sub-systems with redundant power supplies that are connected to different power lines which are fed by different circuit-breakers. Other applications, e.g., communication servers, distribute user demands over distributed networks that are powered by different power lines that pass through different circuit breakers. Some applications are so critical that the different circuit-breakers are themselves powered by different power companies. When reliability is important the use of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) is common. A UPS provides backup power in the event of an electrical outage or other power line disturbance. A UPS usually includes a battery system that powers an inverter that supplies operating power to the protected system or sub-system. The UPS can either power the system or sub-system only when a failure occurs or it can power the system or sub-system continuously with the input AC power acting as a re-charger for the batteries. Some dual-power line systems use only one UPS that is fed from one AC power line. In such cases the other AC power line is directly connected to the other power line. In other dual-power line systems, each AC power line connects to a different UPS. Either way, to maintain reliable operation it is important to ensure that each of the redundant power supplies is powered by a different AC power source. Otherwise, the purpose of having dual-power lines is defeated. In distributed system many different sub-systems are often connected to the same UPS. If that UPS fails those sub-systems can be brought down. What the foregoing systems have in common is a need for high reliability and the use of UPS systems to assist that reliability. However, no matter how reliable any power source is, it can fail. For example, if input power is removed from a UPS, eventually the UPS battery will fail. If dual-lines are feed from different circuit breakers powered by the same power company, the power company can fail. If different power companies are used, an electrical grid malfunction can shut-down both power companies. While input power cannot be guaranteed, it is possible to provide controlled shut-down of systems to prevent, reduce, or mitigate problems. To improve reliability and/or to assist controlled shut-down it can be very useful to know what system resource is being powered by any particular USP system. Then, when that UPS has a problem or signals that a power failure may occur the service processor can perform a controlled shut-down of impacted resources. Unfortunately, determining what system resource is connected to a particular UPS becomes increasingly difficult as the number of UPS and system resources increase and as the system become more and more distributed. Complicating the problem is the desirability of determining which system resource is ultimately connected to a particular AC power line in a dual-line system. Further complicating the problem is providing sufficient time for a system to perform a controlled shut-down of system resource prior to power failure. Therefore, techniques of identifying which system resource is connected to which UPS would be useful. Information that can be used to ensure that redundant power supplies are operatively connected to different UPS devices and to different AC power lines also would be beneficial. Also beneficial would be techniques of determining which system resources are powered by which UPS and which AC input line. Also beneficial would be a method of ensuring that sufficient notice is given before a particular system resource fails to provide for a controlled shut-down. The principles of the present invention provide for methods and apparatuses that determine which system resources are connected to which UPS, and possibly which UPS is connected to which AC power line. The determined information can be used to ensure that redundant power supplies are operatively connected to different UPS systems and to different AC power lines. That information can also be used to determine which system resources are powered by which UPS, and possibly which AC input line. This enables a controlled shutdown of system resources, such as by shifting operating loads, can be provided when a UPS signals that a power failure is possible. In one embodiment of the present invention, a user prepares a configuration file that describes the interconnections of the UPS system with the system resources. The operating system can check the configuration file for redundancy errors to ensure that redundant power supplies are not connected to the same UPS and/or AC power line. The operating system could also check to determine which system resource is connected to which UPS. Then, when a UPS signals that a power failure may occur the system can reference the configuration file to determine how to perform a controlled shutdown of system resources to mitigate damage. In another embodiment, a UPS sends identifying information, such as an IP address or serial number, on an input AC power line. The identifying information is subsequently detected by the sub-system or service processor, which then checks to ensure that redundant power supplies are not connected to the same UPS and/or to enable a controlled shutdown of system resources. In another embodiment of the present invention, a service processor includes power microcode that controls the output voltage of each UPS. That power microcode then directs a particular UPS to raise or lower its output voltage. The sub-systems include voltage triggers that signal when UPS power is out-of-range. When the particular UPS achieves an out-of-range condition the sub-system or service processor detects the out-of-range signals and identifies the sub-system/UPS interconnection topology. Checks can then be made to ensure that redundant power supplies are not both out-of-range, and thus are both not connected to the particular UPS, or a configure table is generated in which specific UPS systems are associated with specific system resources. Then, when a UPS signals a potential power failure the system can take steps to provide a controlled shutdown of system resources that are associated with the failing UPS. In another embodiment, a service processor includes power microcode that directs a particular UPS to turn off its output. When the particular UPS turns off the power to a sub-system the service processor detects the OFF condition and checks to ensure that redundant power supplies are not both OFF, and thus both are not connected to the particular UPS. Alternatively, a configure table is generated in which specific UPS systems are associated with specific system resources. Then, when a UPS signals a potential power failure the system can take steps to provide a controlled shutdown of system resources that are associated with the failing UPS. So that the manner in which the above recited features of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments. To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, wherever possible, to designate identical elements that are common to the figures. The principles of the present invention provide for methods and apparatuses that improve system reliability by identifying UPS-sub-system interconnections. This enables protecting the system against UPS connection problems. In systems that use redundant power supplies, the UPS-sub-system interconnections are checked to ensure that each redundant sub-system power supply is operatively connected to a different UPS, and possibly to a different AC power line. In systems having distributed sub-systems, the sub-system-UPS connections are identified to determine which UPS is connected to which sub-system. Once such information is available the system can perform a controlled shutdown of system resources in the event of a UPS failure. The system 100 includes a plurality of N (an integer) sub-systems, illustrated by the subsystems 104, 106, 108, and 110, each of which includes two power supplies, labeled 104A-104B through 110A-110B. Each power supply can individually power its associated sub-system, e.g., the power supply 106A can completely power the sub-system 106. Thus, the pairs of power supplies 104A-104B through 110A-110B are redundant in that only one needs to operate. Still referring to In the system 100 the service processor 102 can send power microcode commands via bus 130 to each UPS. That code controls the operation of each UPS. Also, each UPS has a discrete IP address or other identifier, such as a serial number, that can uniquely identify the UPS address, and the ability to send that identifier to the system 100. The system 150 includes a plurality of N (an integer) sub-systems that are illustrated by the servers (1-5), which are identified as server devices 154, 156, 158, 160, and 162. Each server device handles communications with a plurality of users. The server devices 154, 156, 158, 160, and 162 connect to uninterruptible power supplies UPS1, UPS2, and UPS3, which are identified as UPS devices 164, 166, and 168. The UPS device 164 receives its input power from AC power line #1, UPS device 166 receives its input power from AC power line #2, and UPS device 168 receives its input power from AC power line #3. Since each server is connected to a UPS, and since each UPS is connected to an AC power line, each server is operatively powered by an AC power line. In the system 150 the service processor 152 can send power microcode commands via bus 170 to each UPS device that controls the operation of each UPS. Also, each UPS device has a discrete IP address or other identifier, such as a serial number, that uniquely identifies the UPS device. Each UPS device also includes the ability to send that identifier to the system 150. A similar method is used when determining which sub-system is powered by which UPS/AC power line. In that case, if a UPS signals a potential failure the server 152 can perform a controlled shutdown of sub-systems that might fail. For example, in Referring now to While manual entry of information is useful, as a system becomes larger and more complex, the manual entry method becomes increasing susceptible to errors. As shown in If the method of sending UPS device identifiers is used with the system 150 shown in While the method 400 beneficially provides for automated determination of which power supply/server is powered by which UPS, thus enabling automated power integrity verification, the method requires both identification information and stripping of that information from the power supply input lines. While not technically difficult to do, the method 400 requires additional hardware and special UPS supplies. Then, at step 508, the out-of-range condition is sensed. This is commonly done by incorporating a circuit in each sub-system/power supply that produces a warning signal when a UPS device applies voltage outside of the allowed range. At step 510, the sub-system or the service processor determines which power supply/server has produced a warning. In practice, an optional verification step, step 512, may be useful in ensuring that a warning is not being produced in the normal course of events. For example, the service processor might change the power microcode to cause the UPS to apply a voltage within the allowed range. If the warning is being produced in the normal course of events, the warning will remain. If the warning is caused by the power microcode the warning will terminate. If the warning is not verified at step 514 the process beneficially loops back to step 506 for a repeat of the process. However, if the warning is verified, at step 516 the service processor maps the UPS to the servers/power supplies having warnings. If there are other UPS devices to be mapped, at step 518, the process loops back to step 506 for the selection of another UPS. However, if there are no other UPS devices to be mapped, at step 520, the service processor verifies the UPS integrity. That is, the service processor checks that each power supply of a sub-system is powered by a different UPS device. Then, at step 522, an optional verification is made to ensure that the UPS devices that power each sub-system are not connected to the same AC power line. If either step 520 or step 522 fail, signaling a lack of power integrity, a warning is provided to the system or to the system operator. Then, at step 524, the process stops. A useful feature of the systems 100 and 150 is the provision for automatic shutdown. While the UPS devices 120 and 122 (and 164-168) are powered by different AC power lines, it is possible for all power lines to simultaneously fail. In that case, warnings can be created by the different UPS devices that signal AC power failures can be anticipated. When the service processor (102 or 152) determines that a sub-system is in danger of failure the operating software provides for a controlled shut down of the sub-system or sub-systems at risk. This can be performed in such a way that problems caused by the failure can be prevented or mitigated. While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow.

Structure of Si(111)-In Nanowires Determined from the Midinfrared Optical Response
S. Chandola, K. Hinrichs, M. Gensch, N. Esser, S. Wippermann, W. G. Schmidt, F. Bechstedt, K. Fleischer, and J. F. McGilp, Structure of Si(111)-In Nanowires Determined from the Midinfrared Optical Response, Physical Review Letters, 102, 2009, 226805/1 - 226805/4Abstract:
The anisotropic optical response of Si(111)-(4?1)/(8?2)-In in the midinfrared, where ab initio studies predict significant changes in the band structure between competing models of this important quasi-1D system, has been measured using infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry (IRSE) and reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS). Both IRSE and RAS of the (8?2) phase show that the anisotropic Drude tail of the (4?1) phase is replaced by two peaks at 0.50 and 0.72 eV, which appear in ab initio optical response calculations for the hexagon model of the (8?2) structure, but not the trimer model.

Children | four[1] |
Harry Blackstone, Jr. (June 30, 1934 – May 14, 1997) was an American stage magician, author, and television performer.[2]
Blackstone was born Harry Bouton Blackstone Jr. in Three Rivers, Michigan, the son of noted stage magician Harry Bouton Blackstone, Sr. (also known as "The Great Blackstone"). As an infant, he was used as a prop in his father's act.[3]
Rather than utilize the routines his father developed, Blackstone developed his own and modernized his performance, though onstage he would, on occasion, perform a sequence of his father's illusions in a period setting.[citation needed]
Harry Blackstone, Jr. created four levels (beginner to advanced) of magic kits that were the best selling in the field.[4] In the early 1970s, he promoted a "PF Magic Wedge Kit" on a television commercial for PF Flyers sneakers, and he appeared on several commercials for Jiffy Pop popcorn.
In 1985, on the 100th anniversary of his father's birth, Harry Blackstone, Jr. donated to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. the original floating light bulb — designed and built by Thomas Edison — and the original Casadega Cabinet, used in the "Dancing Handkerchief" illusion. This was the first donation accepted by the Smithsonian in the field of magic.[5]
He appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show, Donahue, The Today Show, Reading Rainbow and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. He also made occasional appearances as the mysterious Dr. Mephisto on the TV soap opera Santa Barbara. Of his several TV specials's the PBS 2 hour special was unique due to the intros by Waldo and Emerson of the Muppets. Blackstone's PBS's Square One TV, where he used magic tricks to teach mathematics to young people was a favorite of his.[6] His recurring segment was known as "Backstage with Blackstone."
He also designed the illusions used on SeaWorld's water show featuring the DC Comics super heroes. They included The Joker cutting Batgirl up into multiple pieces, a variation of a classic multi-box illusion, and the first use in many years of the Jarrett pedestal to vanish Wonder Woman.
He and his wife Gay created and produced the special effects for "The Magic Summer Tour" for New Kids on The Block, as well as their " The No More Games Tour". He also did special effects for Alice Cooper, Michael Jackson " "The Victory Tour", Earth, Wind and Fire, and Jane's Addiction with Perry Farrell.
During his career, Blackstone toured the U.S.extensively. Notably, his Magnificent Musical Magic Show played in 156 U.S. cities and Broadway opening in May 1980, where it played 118 performances.[7]
He received the Academy of Magical Arts Magician of the Year Award in 1979 and 1985.[1] At the time of his death he was the most highly awarded magician of all time.
Blackstone lived in Redlands, California.[8][9] He died May 14, 1997 in Loma Linda, California at the age of 62 due to pancreatic cancer.[1] After his death, much of his performance equipment was sold off in two highly publicized auctions held by Sotheby's and Darien Julian. Many of the pieces went to collectors, scattered across the world and numerous of the props have made it into actual shows. Las Vegas performer Scarlett now owns and uses his Topsy Turvy. David Copperfield houses the Tire Vanish (performed by Harry Blackstone, Sr) in his world famous museum of magic. Touring illusionist Aaron Balcom now uses the Owen-built Clown Jammer. Washington state performer John Walton uses his menacing Buzz Saw. Dutch illusionist Hans Klok and Darren Romeo perform the famous "Blackstone Floating Light Bulb" illusion under a licensing agreement with Blackstone Magik Enterprises Inc. It is one of only two magic illusions to have Intellectual Properties.[10]
The Performing Arts Theater at Redlands East Valley High School is now named in his honor.[11][12] His widow, Gay Blackstone, is the former president of The Magic Castle in Hollywood.[13]
Gay Blackstone appeared in the season 8 Pawn Stars episode "Tricky Ricky," in 2014, and sold a vanishing birdcage prop used by both Harry Sr. and Harry Jr. to Rick Harrison for $2,600.

This great. Everyone needs to eat more vegetables. Parents become rold models for kids. Children who see their parents eating vegetables are more likely to eat them,too.

I really enjoyed the food column this week. I also think it's important for adults to set an example for their kids to eat their veggies. Might help with obesity?

Finally! a server creator that doesn't require me to use teamviewer to set it up on my friends pcs because of the fact that they are a bunch of idiots and they don't know what they are doing. Thank you so much
Is this sfor 1.2.5 because it dosnt work for me a black window pops up and closes straight away plz help
Can I make a sugestion. The Filepath looks rather "odd" with the 10 spaces, so try to do something like this. I am asuming it is Textbox1 Code (Text): Dim path As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments TextBox1.text = path wow... haven't done VB for a while. Starting again though. EDIT: oh and you should add a "What's This" to online mode. Some might think that it is for Lan. And "Allow Flying" sounds better as "Allow Flight"
Thumbs up for the Creator works great. For those of you having issues with the black cmd screen popping up and then disappearing. Open your bat file and edit the code to look like this Code (Text): java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar pause This should fix the problem
Thank you for your suggestions, would you send me a screenshot of the 10 spaces you mean? And i have changed the "Allow flying" to "Allow flight", and put in a help for online mode! I need to listen to the people who uses my program, if you use it!
after I fill everything in on the creator, I go to run the server starter but it appears for 1/2 a second and disappears
Gaarstedh do you thing you would ever make this open source? I'm very interested in learning how to do these kind of things, personally I learn by example. I understand if you want to keep it closed, but it would be really cool if you let the community take a look at it! And whatever your choice, can you tell me what language you used?
Hey dude relax, I'm from Denmark, I dont speak fluent English? If you write your steam, skype username or your email, I will contact you privately.
Not the right area to ask this question. If this tool made the server and it works then that is the extent for help in this sub forum. Read up on how to port forward and get your public IP address so that people can join it. Don't post back here asking for links or help, simply click here and 99% of your problems are answered.
@RingOfStorms if you want the source code, add me on steam or skype or write your email to me. I can't start a private chat with you on this site for some reason.

Friday Photos: Hotel Napoleon Paris, Two Steps from the Champs Elysées
April 1, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Not too shabby a gift! Built in the 1920s, the Hotel Napoleon was bought by a Russian businessman as a wedding present for the French girl he had fallen for. Over the years the hotel hosted famous guests from the era's high society. (Josephine Baker, Ernest Hemingway, and Dali all stayed here.) In the 1930's, the hotel was immortalized by one of France's most famous actors, Jean Gabin, in a couple of his films. Today the boutique hotel is appreciated for its location in the heart of the Triangle d'Or, just a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe and the world-famous Champs Elysées.
Adorned with Napoleonic artwork and elegant Directoire furniture, the Hotel Napoleon has retained an intimate ambience. The 102 guest rooms are decorated in the Empire style and have views over the Paris rooftops and the Eiffel Tower. What could be better than starting the day with breakfast on your terrace, with all of Paris at your feet?
Giant 4-Foot Wedding Cake Unveiled in London to Fete the Royal Wedding
March 31, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
From themed Afternoon Teas to commemorative tea bags and postage stamps, London is getting in the mood for the upcoming Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Visit London-- the official tourism organization for the capital-- recently unveiled a giant 4-foot wedding cake, a lovely replica of the famous St. Bride's Church on Fleet Street-- the actual, real-life inspiration for the traditional tiered wedding cake enjoyed around the world today! Visit London describes their recent feat:
Back in the 18th century, London-based baker's apprentice Thomas Rich wanted to create something special for his wedding day so, taking the tall spire and steeple of St Bride's Church as a model, he came up with the idea for a tiered cake. This cake was provided by Sophisticake (who made the wedding cake for HRH Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall). It was created using a medieval recipe which required a whopping 200 eggs, 120lb (54kg) of dried fruit and 18lb (8kg) of butter! The cake will be donated to St Bride's Church to share with its parish and support their charitable causes.
Thinking about flying to London for the Royal Wedding on April 29, 2011? Hotels are not yet sold out. Browse our collection of Four- and Five-Star hotels and take your pick...

"Le Spiderman" has scaled some 70 skyscrapers, but complied with safety regulations for this latest stunt, using a rope and harness. He even summited the tapered spire above the top floors of the building, 2,717 feet above the ground. Robert finished the climb in the darkness.
Festive Brunch and Easter Egg Hunt at Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago
March 30, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The food alone is a reason to book a table for Easter brunch at Sixteen, the modern American resto at Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago. (With made-to-order sushi, carving stations, and individually-prepared omelets, it's a firm favorite among Chicago brunch-goers.) And for the holiday on April 24, the eatery is pulling out all the stops for a festive celebration. Executive Chef Frank Brunacci will offer several special items for Easter: Spring Pea soup; Crispy trout with mushroom and fava bean ragu; Veal medallions with caramelized artichokes and spinach; Thai-spiced shrimp with curry-apple slaw; Grilled asparagus with goat cheese, candied walnuts, and truffle vinaigrette; and Lamb loin with fennel and Vidalia onion jam. For something sweet, stop by Executive Pastry Chef Sarah Kosikowski's dessert station. But don't fill up too fast- your family will also get a homemade chocolate bunny to take home. The kids will get a kick out of the lively entertainment, including a visit from the Easter Bunny and an Easter egg hunt.
Brunch will take place from 10:30 am to 3 pm, priced at $115 for adults and $25 for children (under 8 years of age) exclusive of alcohol, tax, and gratuity. Sixteen will also be open for Easter dinner from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
Say Hello to London's Restored Landmark, the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel
March 29, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
With the Royal Wedding fast approaching and the Olympic Games drumming up excitement for 2012, London has become the destination du jour-- with no shortage of stylish places to stay! In recent months, a slew of new hotels have opened on the famously fashionable hotel scene. One of the most highly anticipated is the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, reopened after a dramatic £150 million transformation. With the arrival of Eurostar trains in 2007, the St. Pancras railway station was itself renovated, and now it has a hotel to match. The red brick building-- a stunning example of High Victorian Gothic architecture-- was saved from demolition and has been restored to its former glory as one of the city's great landmarks. The five-star St. Pancras Renaissance London has 204 rooms and 41 suites.
To quote the London Evening Standard:
...it is the restored public spaces that will astonish visitors: the grand sweeping staircase, the Ladies Smoking Room - the first place in Europe where women could smoke in public - and the old ticket office that has been converted into a bar. A St Pancras ale is being brewed in tribute to the station's history as a transportation point for millions of barrels of beer. The hotel reception and function room have been carved from the former taxi rank, and Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing will open a restaurant and bar serving classic British cooking and named after the station's master architect, Sir George Gilbert Scott.

New Details Emerge on Shuttle Damage at Launch

Why the Mac App Store rocks for developers
No matter how good your application is, no matter how novel, how brilliant, how special -- none of it matters if you don't have anyone to use it. The iOS App Store changed the way developers work by providing a streamlined channel between software developers and potential customers.
Consider my APIkit scanner application. After opening the app to public beta a few months ago, I may have gotten about 200-300 users. Total. (And a grand total of zero feedback, but that's a completely different gripe about public betas.) Contrast with App Store.
As far as I can calculate, I have now shipped well over a million apps on App Store -- that's extrapolating from the 600+ thousand copies that iTunes Connect tells me I've pushed out in the last six months, not including updates and such -- just individual purchases. And no, I haven't earned much from those purchases because nearly everything I've put on App Store to date has been free.
That's not the point.
Being able to touch that many people's lives, and offer them a few nice utilities is the point. Even as a primarily free developer, it's brilliant to know that I can create apps that matter, that entertain, and that help. I love when people write me and say: "This app is fun" or "helpful" or "silly" or "delightful." And I wouldn't have been able to do that without App Store.
I've got a ton of lonely little Mac apps sitting on my back burner that I think can help a lot of people. And now there's a chance that I can share them in a meaningful way.
Now, step back and consider this from a business point of view. If App Store has done this much to help me reach people as a free dev, consider what it can do for a Mac developer's bottom line. App Store sells apps. It connects customers to content and developers to an audience. And that's why it matters.

By using the world's preeminent telescopes, astronomers peer behind a curtain of dust to find a giant star-making factory known as "Sparky."
A giant star in the Canis Majoris constellation isn't acting like itself, and scientists are doing their best to figure out why.
Speaking to Congress, two astronomers from SETI describe the chances of finding aliens as almost 100 percent.
Scientists pull a needle out of a haystack and identify a star that dates back to shortly after the Big Bang.
The stunning result of a comet streaking across the lens of the 570-megapixel Dark Energy Camera could make backyard astronomers green with envy.
Long fingerlike tendrils poked out from the part of the Red Planet known as the "Martian limb" and astronomers are scratching their heads over the cause.
Astronomers have spotted in an otherwise not-very-interesting galaxy a raging storm erupting from the black hole at its core.
Three of Jupiter's largest moons gather together to cross the planet's face for a rare astronomical show.
The ESO's VISTA telescope has used the near-infrared spectrum to peer through the gaseous cloud of the Trifid Nebula at the hidden stars behind.
As a white dwarf in the final throes of its life span, a dying star throws off a nebula known poetically -- if not entirely accurately -- as the 'Ghost of Jupiter'.

Great Performance 03/25/2009
This review is from: SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Fast, fast, fast. I had no problems maxing out COD4 with a large res. Handles anything you throw at it. I had no issues with the temperatures either. Mine averaged between 46-48*C idle and max at 62*C I don't normally play my games at max all the time. Just like to get a bit of eye candy once in a while though. I never checked my temps while running max.
Can be a slight PITA to install because of the size, and location of the power supplies depending on your case design.
Other Thoughts:
The card I got was defective. Kept crashing my games and was artifacting a lot. After reading a bit on forums, seems like it's hit and miss with getting a defective card. As long as you get a good one it's a dang fine card. I returned mine in hopes of getting one that isn't defective. Overall though it's a nice performing card for the money =)
