by David Brown Go to extremes and bring back pictures Now you can get Nikon image quality from a rugged camera built for adventure. The Coolpix AW100 is waterproof, freezeproof, and designed to take minor spills without batting an eye — but it also has a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor that'll give you sharp images in low light. That's handy when you're shooting close-ups of coral formations 33-feet underwater. For all your adventures off the beaten path When you're hanging from a rope on the side of a cliff, you need a camera that compensates for a shaky hand. This camera's image stabilization keeps your shots steady (even when you're not). Motion detector tracks subjects on the move and adjusts the camera's settings so they stay in focus. And if you want to map where you've been in the wilderness, the camera has a built-in GPS so you can create a travelogue of your adventures. If you prefer to make viral videos of snowboarding down the mountain, or cave diving, the camera shoots full HD movies with stereo sound. And the action control feature makes it easy to adjust specific camera settings (even when you're wearing gloves), and gives you one button to touch when you're ready to start recording.

Today's cameras have helpful automatic features, like face detection and scene recognition that make shooting more foolproof than ever. And they all have plenty of megapixels for detailed photos that stay sharp, even when you enlarge and print them.
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Bob, Long Island, NY on Tuesday, April 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First off, only 4 stars because I did not get to test all of the camera's options. Camping for a week at the end of December in northern Minnesota with no tents, every time I went to use the camera, it worked and the pics were very nice. Even getting to -15 degrees Pros: Worked as described.
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By RKD, Florida on Thursday, February 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After doing a lot of research on underwater cameras, we decided on the AW100. So glad we did, we got some wonderful underwater pictures and movies while on a snorkeling trip in Cozumel. Pictures taken in the caves of Belize also came out good. No problem with leaking and battery life was as good as our other point and shoot cameras. Would definately recommend this camera. Pros: Easy to use, picture to movie and back is quick and easy. Cons: Only wish the optical zoom was more but for the price it was good.
Wonderful Written By Jon, UT on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Absolutely love it. Great pictures, great battery life, and arrived quickly and packed very well.
Very poor performance-returned Written By Disappointed, South Carolina on Monday, January 07, 2013 I got this camera as a replacement for my previous water camera that wore out after several years of great use...it comes with great reviews so I was happy to buy it. I took it on a huge trip, a large family reunion Caribbean cruise and looked forward to taking a ton of pictures as I am an avid scrapbooker. I was disappointed almost from the get go. The battery life was TERRIBLE. I followed the directions, charged it for a day and by the 3 day of the trip, when I needed it in a water setting, it died after 47 pictures. I was left without the camera for our swim with dolphins. I recharged it overnight, and took it out again, and used it in the water the next day and once again the battery started blinking shortly into the day and then the screen died from water leakage. It finally just stopped working for most than a few pictures out of the water. I had a hard time with the flash setting as week and several pictures turned out dark. The week went on like this. I got some pictures but am so disappointed at what I missed. I returned it immediately upon returning from our trip last week. Maybe I got a lemon, but I will be buying a different one this time around!
A great "foul weather" friend! Written By B.L.Wagner, Gettysburg, PA on Sunday, December 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an ideal "all around" camera to have along for use in "foul weather" conditions such as snow or rain, or at the beach or on a boat, where one would often be hesitant to bring along an "ordinary" camera, for fear of it getting it wet & possibly ruined. No need to worry about that with this camera! Compact, easy to use & takes great photos in places one would often be leery of taking a camera along! Pros: Compact, weatherproof, freeze & shock resistant. Good picture quality ..far better than I'd expected, especially in varying light & weather conditions. Ideal for boating, "pool parties" and other places one might miss out on good photos for fear of damaging a camera not designed for withstanding the elements. Cons: I'd question it's suitability for "serious quality" underwater photography at it's rating of 33 foot depths, without external lighting ...but should be great in shallow, clear waters! It will sink like a stone if dropped in water, however the bright colored versions ..particularly the orange.. would make it pretty easy to locate in shallow water or a swimming pool.
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Anonymous, Hawaii on Monday, November 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not only is this camera indestructible, but there are more settings than I ever hoped for in a "point-and-shoot". It also takes fool-proof panoramas and shows vivid colors, even capturing the details of street art and differentiating the blues of ocean and sky. One problem I've had in the past with digital cameras is that they don't capture depth well, especially midday. So far I have not noticed that problem with the CoolPix AW100.
Nikon Coolpix AW100 = Great Image Quality Written By Manuel M, Toa Alta, PR on Monday, November 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recommend this camera. Besides been waterproof it takes great photos everywhere. Another important thing is that it have a CMOS sensor that helps a lot to achieve clear and sharp photos in low light. The macro capability is awesome and much better than my kit lens for the Nikon D5100 that I also own. Pros: Great image quality, great video quality, good low light performance. Cons: Lack of manual settings
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Anonymous, Elm Grove, WI on Friday, October 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was one of most highly recommended models on Consumer Reports, which is why I purchased this particular model. Overall I have been pretty satisfied by the start up time, quality of photos, and GPS feature. It performs well, even in low light. Pros: Rugged. 5x optical zoom. High quality pictures and HD video, even in low light. GPS feature. Cons: Poor sound in video recording. Battery life could be better. No manual settings or ability to force flash on for better foreground fill in harsh lighting conditions.
Canon AW100 - Great Purchase! Written By FGL, Indiana on Sunday, July 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Read reviews before purchasing and had reservations about the underwater leaking reports. I was going to Hawaii for a week and really wanted to use underwater. Well, I am glad I purchased it. The underwater shots were great! No leaking. I took photos in the Pacific, took photos in the pool. Very pleased with quality. I also used the standard point and shoot. Great pictures using the auto feature. I used the HD video for Ziplining shots. They came out perfect. I would highly recommend this camera for the cost. No it's not an SLR, but it's under $300, so a great buy. The camera strap was the only issue (if I had to come up with any issues). Just confusing and not good quality. I didn't use the GPS function, so can't really include any comments. Pros: Waterproof. Ease of use. High quality. Cons: Night photos take some adjusting of settings.
Great camera!! Written By JessicaH, Southaven, MS on Thursday, July 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camera is outstanding! I had been looking to buy it for months and I did a lot of research and read countless reviews, all of which were right! The overall image quality is great for a outdoor/action camera and the waterproof and shockproof features are spot on. I would definitely recommend buying this camera if you are thinking about it. Pros: *Focuses quickly *Takes great pictures *Great buy for your money Cons: This is not a camera for professional-quality photos, but then again, that's not what it is advertised for!
Test well before trip! Written By Traveller, Northport, AL on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First, I travel the world, take tons of pics and all for entertainment and a little work. I have had Nikon products for years and have always been satisfied. This camera could possibly be a great pocket point and shoot as a stand in for my bigger DSLR. Especially since my DSLR for some reason wont work while snorkeling! :-) I bought this camera for a snorkeling/adventure trip to Belize with my wife. We wanted to take some shallow underwater photos while there and this seemed to be the perfect fit. All the reviews said mostly the same thing. Either a really cool camera or as ours proved to be a fogger and a dud! We were able to take about a 100 photos but I knew we were in trouble when we went from a cool room to the humid outdoors and got condensation in the lense and a hazy film in the view screen. Not even in the water yet. Our first snorkel trip was max 8 feet of water and the photos were "ok". We boarded, went to another spot and plunged into 6 feet of water and within 30 seconds the camera died. I took it back, took the battery and SD card out, they were dry. I recharged the battery and waited over 24hrs. Put battery back in hit the "ON" button and... nothing! Just died. So I finished the trip with my iphone snapping less than desirable pics as my Coolpix AW100 sat in a safe in the condo for the next 7 days. So, I get home give Crutchfield Support a call and Dean gives me two options: 1. Refund 2. Swap and try again. I chose the swap for another go. Pros: Many Cons: I figure you have about a 70% chance of getting a good one. Lady on the boat with us had one she swore by, while ours, we swore at!
Backpack Perfection Written By AC, Richmond, Va on Monday, July 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My wife and I have a nice Nikon DSLR but have a hard time bringing it on backpacking / camping trips. It is either too big to fit in the pack or we are going where it might get wet. I was looking for a great waterproof point and shoot that still took excellent pictures, which is why I settled on the Nikon AW100. It is rugged and lightweight, and is capable of taking some breathtaking pictures! I love the ease of one handed operation. I can zoom and shoot quickly and easily. The panorama setting is extremely useful and can do 180 and 360 degree shots. You can also watch them later like a movie, which is pretty excellent! I also appreciate that it looks like a regular camera and that it is not too "EXTREME" looking. Some of the other cameras in this category are really stylized and wild in their design. Simplicity is a virtue here! From hiking to the top of some of Virginia's highest peaks with ease, to tubing down the lazy James, to jumping from the rocks into deep mountain swimming holes, this camera has been there every step of the way (the GPS feature can record these steps as well) and has been a real blast to own! Pros: Easy to use and takes great pictures. Waterproof, durable, and not too flashy. Pano and GPS features are really nice. Battery life is excellent. Great camera! Cons: Should come with a wrist strap with or instead of the neck strap. Also, I recommend buying a faster flash card. A slower speed card will record photo and video more slowly when the camera is cold. I tried a faster card in really cold water and it worked like a champ.
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By ChrisM, Yorba Linda, CA on Friday, June 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic photo & video quality and I am completely satisfied. If I use 50% of the capability of the camera I would be shocked. You must read the instruction manual to figure out all the little things you can do. I recommend this camera to anyone at this price point. The panoramic pictures are so easy to take and look fantastic. Pros: Simple to use, easy to download and the quality is fantastic. Cons: I wish the software that came with the camera was easier to use and had more editing capability.
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Written By Anonymous, St. Louis, MO on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I enjoy the multiple settings. Action shots are awesome. I recently went to a fireworks show and took some wonderful pictures with it. I have not tried the underwater settings yet. Battery life is a lot longer than most other models.
Nikkon AW100 Written By Anthony A, Easton,PA on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great camera for taking out in the rain,or taking pictures in the backyard pool. Have used in both environments. Totally happy with the Nikkon AW100 Pros: Easy to operate, rechargable batt, compact size.
Great camera Written By Dusty B, Sonora, CA on Thursday, April 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) this camera is awsome takes great pictures so far focus is great and its easy to use i havent taken it into water yet but i will!!!
Great for all-around use. Written By KenB, Torrance, CA on Friday, October 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this camera because I was looking for a tough all purpose waterproof camera that I could take with me on "active" vacations. My first trip was on a houseboat. The camera worked flawlessly in the water and out. The photos are sharp. The controls are well placed and easy to use. And the lens range is wide enough for interior photos and long enough for general outdoor use. The camera is rugged so it doesn't need to be "babied". A couple of features I would have liked to have had included were; an automatic opening/closing lens cap. A wrist strap, as I find the included neck strap to be almost useless for a camera this size (small). Also, I wish the zoom function were a slide under the shutter release (as on some other cameras) instead of a toggle on the back. That would make it easier to use one handed. And a BIG NOTE to everyone. This camera DOES NOT FLOAT. I recommend that the first accessory you purchase (if you're going to use this camera around water) is a floating wrist strap. Pros: Reasonably small and lightweight. Rugged design. Easy to use controls and settings. Large display. Good/sharp lens with usable zoom range Good battery life. Cons: No lens cover. Display not so easy to view in very bright sunlight Zoom function on back of camera instead of on top with shutter release. Camera does not float. No wrist strap.

About Texas Chainsaw
After some rubbish sequels and two needless reboots, the chainsaw has been dusted off once again. Story-telling wise this is a direct sequel to the original film: after the massacre in 1974, one young woman escaped and the townspeople learnt the truth about Leatherface and his cannibalistic family. An angry vigilante mob burnt down their home and assumed that there were no survivors. Decades later a young woman named Heather (Alexander Daddario) finds out that she has inherited a large estate near the town and takes her party-loving friends on a road trip to investigate. They discover a lavish, isolated mansion and Heather is delighted to be the owner of such swanky digs. But the house hides a terrifying secret in the basement.

Bill seeks immunity for medical providers who report those unfit to drive at any age
The plan to reinstate testing was opposed by groups representing the elderly, who said it was discriminatory. Members of the House Transportation Committee agreed Thursday, amending House Bill 263 to provide immunity to medical providers who report those unfit to drive at any age.
Sad told the committee some doctors do report patients, but many are leery because of the potential for a lawsuit.
Rep. Donald LeBrun, R-Nashua, was concerned the bill did not have broad support and was inspired by only one of Sad's constituents.
Sad said when she introduced the bill, she was stopped on the street, emailed and called by people thanking her for her efforts to reinstate mandatory testing, which was repealed in 2011.
"They recognized there are dangerous people driving," Sad said, and they "welcomed the opportunity to get tested."
Several committee members expressed concerns that a person's confidential medical records could be exposed under the bill. Rep. Charles McMahon, R-Windham, said the records should be protected from those who want to use government as a weapon.
Sherman also said there ought to be a requirement for a medical evaluation before a report is filed.
A sub-committee will work on the bill before the full committee votes next month.

smileys are the simple way to capture everyday emotions into a small combination of computer characters. adding too much to a smiley defeats the simple emotions that the smiley is meant to capture. smileys are usually used to lighten a conversation, or in other cases, show saddness or sympathy. some types of smileys show other expressions other than the simple smile, or frown. most smileys have interchangable features, ie; eyes and mouths, yet still display the same emotion. added mouths to any smiley enforces the smiley and implies a greater emotion than the plain smiley. more complex smileys are sometimes not considered smileys and rather called 'emotes'

After 352 million miles and $2.5 billion dollars, NASA's rover finally landed on the surface of the Red Planet. Or at least, NASA hoped it will land--with is payload of fancy gadgets for studying Mars once it arrives, a lot was riding on the success of a tricky maneuver.
Over a period of about seven minutes, the spacecraft containing Curiosity--actually a car-sized rover contained inside a larger craft--decelerated from 13,200 miles per hour to zero in the space of 390 miles.
Everything went as well as hoped, and Curiosity will spend two years exploring Mars looking for signs that our nearest planetary neighbor has or ever had the ability to support and sustain life.
You can watch a replay of the tense, giddy landing, and the jubilant celebration of the NASA scientists when it landed successfully.
"Curiosity" also sent back several photos, and later, a video of the landing from her own cameras.

I have a couple of specific questions and requests regarding these Intel boards. My ultimate goal is to have a stable instant on Linux desktop. Meaning, a machine that can gracefully S3 suspend-to-ram or hibernate repeatedly.
I'm trying my best to figure out which one of these boards has built in DVI, or support (in Linux, of course) for the plug in ADD2 card that allows for DVI output. Newegg has a couple of these cards from Wintech, with claimed support for most recent Intel chipset based motherboards.
The second is, which one of these boards (with DVI) will gracefully suspend to RAM and hibernate?
If anybody has any positive results using S3 suspend to ram with a desktop board under Linux, I would love to hear from you. (Would love to hear from you more if you are using an NVDIA based chipset, NVIDIA grpahics card, the proprietary binary driver and have had success with S3 and hibernate.)
Any possibility of testing these features with a review?
My Thinkpad x40 has no problems doing either S3 or hibernate without fail. Maybe I should be looking at something like Tyan's Tomcat i945GM (S3095). Based on a mobile chipset with DVI, but a bit pricier considering you need a mobile CPU.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Intel open-source graphics would be ideal. The machine would be for general desktop usage; I have a second box for linux gaming.
What are the other motherboards that you were about to recommend? Any threads or specific websites that deal with S3 and hiberate anf Linux desktop hardware?
Thanks for your quick reply.
Some of the manufacturers that make nice motherboards (other than Intel) with Intel Chipsets are Tyan, Abit, and ASUS.
The Intel open-source graphics should work fine with S3 / hibernate, or should work well shortly since the drivers are actively being developed.
Would you consider testing these features in future reviews? Leaving PC's on for most of the day has huge enviromental implications, but I find it frustrating to keep booting up Linux thoughout the day. Even with my cool and quiet and NVIDIA drivers installed properly, the machine will idle at more than 100 watts during the day.
We will try to work on such an article that covers these matters.
Nick: that's why letting your PC crunch workunits when it's idle (like through the BOINC program) is a great idea. At least this way your PC will be useful and helps humanity in the process.
I noticed in your review of the SilverStone Temjin TJ08 micro ATX case, you installed the Tyan i945G motherboard.
Is there a review forthcoming for the motherboard? If not, can you say where you purchased such a board? I can't seem to find any retailer carrying that specific model.
A Tyan i945G motherboard review should be available in a few weeks. I'll ask Tyan for some authorized resellers of the board.

The hotel industry worries more about overbuilding than overcrowding, and if they had to meet an unexpected influx, few inns would have a manager links of london jewellery to accommodate the weary guests. Now it is the census taker that does the traveling in the fond hope that a highly mobile population will stay long enough to get a good sampling. Methods of gathering, recording, and evaluating information have presumably been improved a great deal. And where then it was links of london bracelets the modest purpose of Rome to obtain a simple head count as an adequate basis for levying taxes, now batteries of complicated statistical series furnished by governmental agencies and private organizations are eagerly scanned and interpreted by sages and seers to get a clue to future events. The Bible does not tell us how links of london friendship bracelet the Roman census takers made out, and as regards our more immediate concern, the reliability of present day economic forecasting, there are considerable differences of opinion. They were aired at the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the American Statistical Association. There was the thought that business links of london wholesale forecasting might well be on its way from an art to a science, and some speakers talked about newfangled computers and high-falutin mathematical system in terms of excitement and endearment which we, at least in our younger years when these things mattered, would have associated more links of london stores readily with the description of a fair maiden. But others pointed to the deplorable record of highly esteemed forecasts and forecasters with a batting average below that of the Mets, and the President-elect of the discount links london Association cautioned that "high powered statistical methods are usually in order where the facts are crude and inadequate, the exact contrary of what crude and inadequate statisticians assume." We left his birthday party somewhere between hope and despair and with the conviction, not really newly acquired, that proper statistical methods applied to ascertainable facts have their merits in economic links bracelets forecasting as long as neither forecaster nor public is deluded into mistaking the delineation of probabilities and trends for a prediction of certainties of mathematical exactitude.

Solute Injection
Application ID: 479
Predicting the transport of contaminants that move with subsurface fluids generally means analyzing at least two physics. This model tracks a contaminant that enters an aquifer at a point, such as an injection well or toxic spill, and spreads through the aquifer with time. The model has an analytic solution developed by Wilson and Miller. This analytic solution has been used to test several dedicated fluid flow and transport codes. The particular problem we describe comes from the MT3DMS manual of Zheng and Wang.
The analysis is conducted by modeling steady state fluid flow and following up with a transient solute transport simulation. For the model we employ the Darcy's law application mode and the Solute Transport application mode from the Earth Science Module. In COMSOL Multiphysics it also is straightforward to specify a fluid velocity without solving a flow problem. We choose to solve for the velocities here to demonstrate the mechanics of coupling flow and transport simulations in a single model file.
This model tracks the fate and transport of solute injected at a point well. In the reservoir the chemical moves by advection and dispersion. The model matches an analytic solution used for evaluating a number of dedicated flow and transport codes.

Beyond Practical Skills: Nine Steps for Improving Legal Education NowR. Michael CassidyBoston College Law School May 4, 2012 Boston College Law Review, Vol. 53, No. 4, September 2012 Boston College Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 263 NYLS Clinical Research Institute Paper No. 11/2012 Abstract: It has been five years since the Carnegie Report "Educating Lawyers" called upon law schools to adopt an integrated approach to professional education that teaches practical skills and professionalism across the curriculum. Yet so far, very few schools have responded to this clarion call for wholesale curricular reform. Considering the inertial effect of traditional law school pedagogy and the institutional impediments to change, this delay is not surprising. A fully integrated approach to teaching professional skills (such as the medical school model) would require major resource reallocations, realignment of teaching responsibilities, redesign of courses, and a change to graduation requirements. While I fully support such comprehensive reform, the pragmatist in me knows that it will take years to accomplish. My goal in this essay is to offer a "self-help" remedy for faculty members and administrators interested in responding to the Carnegie Report's call for greater emphasis on experiential education, but uninterested in waiting for the committee deliberations, reports, faculty votes, and tough resource trade-offs that lie ahead. We drag our heels at our own perils, and to the serious disadvantage of our current students. What follows is a description of nine changes that individual faculty members and deans can make now to improve the professional education of law students. While each initiative when viewed in isolation may seem modest, collectively they could have a huge impact on our programs.

Very nice for the price It's surprisingly hard to find nice tie-up shades these days, and these are the best I was able to find at any price, though you can't beat the price for these. I had previously purchased some cheap ones at Target but the fabric wasn't as nice and the color was stark white and they made the room look eerily too light. So I lookedfor an off white and found these. The fabric is nice, and I got the "natural" color. I'd call it a muslin look, which is more or less what I wanted in the first place.

DID. NOT. LIKE. I rarely leave negative reviews on products bought. I tend to review the ones I like, but this one was so far off, I HAD to write something about it. I bought the black one. First of all, this shade is NOT stylish at all. There's nothing stylish about it. It looks pretty cheap. The fabric feels rough to the touch and it is see-through. The statement "This shade is constructed of durable fabric which is woven to help filter outside light from entering your home." is false. The quality of it seemed to me like once you put that in the wash, it will end up in threads, and instead of filter outside light FROM entering my home, well, lets just say I might as well have had no curtain at all because all the light was coming through. In the picture the shade looks very solid, but this is NOT the case in real life. If you want a shade that will block the light, look elsewhere. This is not the one you want. Spend a lil more and you will be satisfied. I did and I'm loving my new black shades! Needless to say, I returned it.

Great shade for decorative a privacy purposes. The shade is a good value. I installed it in a guest room where I didn't want to go to the expensive of getting window shades and window treatments. It looks pretty tied up and dresses up the room. On the infrequent occasions when we have guests it can be lowered for privacy.

How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.

What I found the most interesting in these graphs is the idle power management.
I'd always thought that my graphics card (5870) was using much more power with radeon than it would with catalyst (never tried it though).
According to this, that isn't necessarily the case.
Thanks for the benchmarks.

REVIEW: Captain America: The Winter Solider
You know what you get with a super hero movie: the ultimate popcorn flick that's splashy , colorful , explosion-filled with duplicity and a bit of humor. All that's in abundance but what makes this one different is it has the feel of a political thriller from the 70s- beginning with a tip of the hat to the 1976 "Marathon Man" , with Captain America Chris Evans jogging in the heart of D.C. That's where he meets the man who ultimately becomes the first Black super hero, Anthony Mackie. Mackie just about steals the movie. What a great addition to an already impressive franchise.
Scarlett Johansson gets to compete with herself at the box office this weekend, returning as The Black Widow here and playing the alien version of a black widow in the indie sci-fier "Under The Skin". Love that when it comes to multi-tasking, during (what to her) are hum-drum battle scenes, The Black Widow jokes with Captain America about his lack of a love life and who he should try dating. What a delish character! Of course it's always Samuel L. Jackson who's the coolest ever , without trying.
Two new additions: Robert Redford as the very top brass at S.H.E.I.L.D. and "Revenge" star Emily Van Camp as Agent 13.
What makes this so much fun is the very human bonding among the beyond human super heroes. The plot is more complex than most comic flicks, but in the end it's always our super heroes saving the world from the latest menace.
3 stars

I'm not a ATI pro troll either, because this corporation doesn't exist anymore
I finally switched to NVidia (I ordered a GTX 560 Ti). I've been using ATI cards since almost 10 years (a Radeon 7500 was the first.) But, lacking good Linux support for 10 years is too much. But you know what? In 10 more years from now, when maybe the drivers will be good at last, I'll switch back. But for now, you lost a very loyal customer who actually tried very hard to like your products much more than the ones from your competitor.
So no more pro-ATI trolling from me. From now on I'm an pro-NVidia guy. Er, no wait... Strike that last part ;-)
I'm not a ATI pro troll either, because this corporation doesn't exist anymore
Hey, I grew up calling them "ATI", I'm not gonna change that. It has sentimental value :-P
Are you expecting a parting gift? Why was this thread necessary?
breaking news...
my shopping trolley will now be full of? does it matter? what is the point of this thread? wouldn't it be more useful to file bugs than to write public farewells to manufacturers of ...things? Does anyone care why some megalomaniac has had an epic emotional breakdown with a manufacturer of things...?
I test ati cards with latest drivers every month, just to know which is broken that was not broken before I have got a script to remove the drivers as well. As my test box is usually open i can switch gfx cards within a few seconds. The last new errors have been hd series 5 only, so you did not even notice em with your old card. So basically you could still test fglrx drivers each month if you wanted
this is one of the biggest problem with the catalyst: no user side regression testing with GIT-Bisect.
because of this its hopeless to hope for an stable catalyst driver.
if the radeon driver starts to run openCL +openGL3.3 then the catalyst is obsolete for all users who wants a "stable" not "fast" driver.
opengl 3 support is not that critical. not even for unigine games. but it is slow as hell compared to fglrx.

Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
Perusing the writings of atheistic scientists and philosophers like Daniel Dennett, one could easily get the impression that arriving at a simpler explanation for something equates to a revelation that things are "lower, cruder, and more trivial."
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
For many, the importance of apparent randomness in evolution can be a major stumbling block when considering whether God could have created through an evolutionary process.
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
In our first Distinctions video -- featuring biologists Sean Carroll and Kerry Fulcher, Smithsonian Human Origins Program director Rick Potts, and Old Testament scholar John Walton -- we look at the concept of randomness.
As an evolutionary biologist I am fascinated by the emergence of cognitive abilities that make us so distinctive from other living species. There are, however, risks in making up evolutionary "just-so" stories to explain the origins of complex human beliefs.

Haute Cuisine: This chocolate mousse hails from Brazil
This light, airy and delicious confection is a variation of a dessert born in France in the 1600s, following the introduction of Spanish hot chocolate.
The recipe typically starts with melted chocolate into which hand-whipped heavy cream is gently folded. Then pastry chef and Cordon Bleu alumna Beatriz Ramos adds her own touch with cornstarch cookies, which she crushes and presses with a spoon onto the bottom and sides of a tart pan. She pours the chocolate mousse over the crushed cookies and refrigerates the dessert for at least six hours. The result, said Ramos, is "chocolate heaven."
To dress it up a bit, you can top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of peanut flour. But, Ramos cautioned, the key is the mousse, which should dance across your tongue on little chocolate feet, with one's taste buds undistracted by anything else.
