Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 motherboard review -
Gigabyte Intel 8 Series Platforms
In this review we test and benchmark the Gigabyte.G1 Sniper 5 motherboard. This Z87 gaming themed mainboard is seated in the high-end range of Gigabyte's multiple Z87 motherboards releases. Pop on an Intel 22nm Haswell processor and you will notice that the G1.Sniper 5 is extremely feature rich and has great overclock potential. Oh and of course you'lll spot the black/green color schema again. Have a look at this 19 page review :)
If you have just read the MSI MPower Z87 review yeah... you are going to see a lot of similarities alright. The Gigabyte.G1 Sniper 5 motherboards as tested today comes chucked full with extra features and overclock potential, it has the latest Killer E2200 chip. This motherboard comes even with a very impressive 16-phase VRM power design.
Following the Ultra Durable 5 design, it is equipped with ferrite-core chokes, International Rectifier PowIRstage components as seen in the last generation motherboards as well. This is the first board that we see that has driver-MOSFETs on-board that are cooled by an active fan-heatsink combo. And the heatsink can be connected to a liquid cooling loop if you like to do so.
You'll spot many PCIe x16 slots indicating a PLX PEX8747 48-lane PCI-Express 3.0 bridge chip embedded. This chip offer the option to go for 4-way SLI/CrossFireX which this motherboards supports. That means x16/NC/x16/NC or x16/NC/x8/x8 or x8/x8/x16/NC or x8/x8/x8/x8. Oh and is 10 SATA 6 GBps ports enough for ya? Or what about a KillerNIC integrated LAN and another extra Intel NIC. Just like the competition offers, Gigabyte as well includes a WIFI controller. That Killer NIC BTW is a dedicated IC that should ensure low PING times for online gamers by prioritizing your band-with whilst giving you the option to monitor your network traffic.
The overclockers amongst you will be happy as well, the Z87 Gigabyte.G1 Sniper 5 is just made for it. In fact in the BIOS it even has a preset that overclocked our processor to 4700 Mhz on all four cores of the Core i7 4770K. Very nice. Just like MSI, Gigtabyte integrated and isolated the audio circuitr. it entails a built-in 600Ω headphone amplifier allows you to use studio-grade headgear and get the most amazing sound quality out of your gaming PC.
Gigabyte gave all audio connectors a gold treatement, they power audio with a Creative Sound Core3D chip and even offers you to swap out OPAMPS. We'll show you that later on in the article though.
There's way more going on with connectors and interfaces thoughy, what about ten USB 3.0 ports (six on the rear panel, four by headers), dual-HDMI and DisplayPort display outputs, and yes we like it, a legacy PS/2 keyboard/mouse combo connector. Anyway, have a peek at this spectacular looking and feature rich motherboard, its all new design and then let's fire up this review.
In this review we check out the 4GB version of the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 960. The GTX 960 is the mainstream product that we figured has too little memory, will this 4GB version resolve our co...

Love my Poly Pad!
posted 6 years ago
I love my Poly Pad. I use it every day! It really is helpful in making a slightly too wide saddle fit better. It is light on the horses back and I can flip it over and use it again!
I have the Pod, but have also used the regular full pads, and they are great too!
Pros: Wash well, hold their shape
Cons: Bulky to wash, be careful of drying!

Poly Pads rule!!
posted 6 years ago
I love poly pads, I have about 10 and thats all I ride in. They are comfy and durable, make every saddle fit nicely. My only suggestion is adding a layer on the underside which is more absorbent for when I go cross-country.
Love Polys!
Pros: comfort, fit, style, durability
Cons: cost, hard to find

Ukraine says same Russian agents in east as in Crimea
Published on Apr 16, 2014 8:57 PM
KIEV (AFP) - Ukraine's security service said on Wednesday that its intercepted communications showed that the same Russian agents who took part in last month's seizure of Crimea were now coordinating the separatist insurgency in the country's east.
"These same Russian special service agents also seized the Supreme Soviet and the Council of Ministers building in Crimea. We clearly established this by their call signs," the service's counter-intelligence department spokesman Vitaliy Naida told reporters.

Dust Plumes Over Argentina
May 30, 2013
Dust blew northward from Argentina's Laguna Mar Chiquita in early July 2010. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image on July 7, 2010. Multiple off-white plumes blow from the lake shores toward the north-northwest. Large plumes blow from the lake's northern perimeter, especially at the eastern end. A small plume, however, blows from sediments on the lake's southern shore. East of the lake, small plumes of dust or possibly smoke also blow toward the north-northwest. Laguna Mar Chiquita is a saline lake in north-central Argentina, about 135 kilometers (85 miles) northeast of Cordoba. Covering nearly 2,000 square kilometers (775 square miles), the lake often gives rise to dust plumes, especially when the lake's water level recedes.

I went to blast a bunch of parts today and my blaster quit. After an hour of fooling around with it I went online to Harbor Freight to see what they had. I picked out this one for $299.00. I called the local store to see if they had one and found out it was on sale for $199.00. My friend JJ came by to park some parts and he had a 20% off cupon he gave me, I got it for $159.00 So off to Harbor freight we went. It took about 30 minutes to assemble it and start blasting. This thing rocks, it uses less air than my old one and is about 2x bigger. It has a 2 tube flourescent light and it is dust tight. I am amazed at how much better this one is. I blasted 2 rpk's an ak and some other stuff in a few hours.
If you want a decent blaster this one is it!!!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --The markets were pulled down Wednesday by a big reversal in Apple (AAPL - Get Report) and another delay in Greece's debt deal.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 97.33, or 0.76%, to 12,788.95. The S&P lost 7.27, or 0.54%, to 1343.23. The Nasdaq fell 16, or 0.55% to 2915.83.
Melissa Lee, the moderator on CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, said Apple closed at $498, down 11.46, or 2.25% for the day.
Joe Terranova said he had been waiting for a pullback in Apple after its parabolic move higher following its earnings. He said Apple is trading more like a commodity future than a stock. He said investors should be less long in the stock.Tim Seymour said traders seem to have been taking advantage of the Apple's parabolic move up after its earnings to short the S&P into expiration. Lee said Apple is so huge that it contributed to one-half of the decline in the Nasdaq 100 and one-fifth of the drop in the S&P.

Plaza divide
Delaware North has also embraced all of the state's requirements, from instituting educational programs for schoolchildren to placing a full-time interpretive manager on staff who developed the interpretive program now delivered through the state park. For our neighboring merchants, we have been diligently working to attract tourist traffic, despite the restaurant closures during the needed restorations.
Plaza del Pasado provides employment to 250 area residents, including several mariachi bands. For the record, it is still a great destination for margaritas, but now you can also enjoy absinthe in a historic saloon setting as well.
Delaware North will continue to work with local shop and restaurant owners while investing in the park's infrastructure to bring San Diegans not only an enjoyable place to visit, but a reminder of how far this city has come and a living testament to the grit and determination of its ancestors who made it possible.
Wellwood is general manager of Plaza del Pasado.

Getting ready to make the upgrade and max it out, will be putting in 16gb of 1600 RAM from OWC, have not decided if the SSD will be in the 250GB range and move the 750GB HD over, or a 500GB SSD and keep the DVD.

OWC Mercury Extreme!

But the price is very expensive.
If I had the money, I would definitely go with OWC.

840 Pro all the way. OWC is overpriced most of the time.
The 830 is a good drive. If you find one for a good price I wouldn't hesitate, but the 840 Pro is better in just about every way.
|Dec 22, 2012, 01:00 AM
The OWC is 'easy', they back their products, and seem reliable, everything including a data-doubler is included in a package, although as said they are the most expensive too.
I found a 830 500GB that comes in the 'note-kit' package with the caddy for putting it in the MBP and software. I'd have to get a data-doubler and the savings would come to $70 or so for the 500GB. Still not cheap (I'm in Japan, Amazon price), and the reason I'm thinking 250GB still.
The only 840 Pro I've found does not have the caddy or other software in the kit, is this important? Do I need the caddy to install the SSD? Is the software needed?

Sammy all the way. OWC is a good company, but there is no way they compare with Samsung.
Also you don't need any of those kits. Just get the bare SSD and get this caddy. Save your money!
If you can find a cheap place for the 830, that's also a good SSD (though it's being phased out by Samsung).
The 830 and 840 Pro are somewhat similar, they are both high quality. The 840 Pro is newer and will be faster, overall.

Thanks for the information about the kit being not needed.
Well, I can get a Samsung 840 PRO 512GB for $100 cheaper than an OWC, and the Samsung 830 for another $50 less. A Samsung 840 Pro 256GB is $250 which is fine for OS and applications but means the HD goes to the optical bay and buying the mount for that (OWC charges $50 for theirs).
Any recommendations and thoughts?
Thanks again,

please help a newb
Hi guys, I'm new here and only had my MBP 13 for a few months. I recently started reading about upgrading to SSD and my google research led me here.
I'd like to thank everyone's input on the Samsung 840 pro vs Mercury pro. These are the 2 drives I was looking to upgrade to and you guys just made my decision a whole lot easier
I just have a few questions though. Will the Samsung 840 pro fit in the 2012 Macpro 13? How much battery life can I expect after the upgrade? (right now I only get about 3 hours at 40% dim, internet use). Finally, how do I clone my OS to the new drive before I install it? (do I even need to do that or just restore from timemachine?)
I'm struggling a bit here coming from a windows environment so please forgive the ultra newb questions. You guys' help is greatly appreciated.
|Dec 24, 2012, 12:32 PM
If you have a Time Machine backup to a USB drive you can option key boot to that and use Disk Util to format then do a complete restore right from Time Machine.

Hi guys, I've been dying to an SSD on my 27" 2011 iMac, I saw the instructional video to add it on the OWC site and i had already made my mind about getting the OWC but again i didn't buy it yet because i figured i'll research for a month or 2 first before i instal a drive.
You guys have changed my mind and now i'm looking at the samsung 840 pro 512GB
If you can answer a few of my questions that'd be great, specially those of you who actually own the Samsung.
#1 is the samsung a SandForce drive? I keep reading SandForce is the best driver for the SSDs
#2 will is last on a machine used about 12 to 14 hours a day? i do graphic design and web programming 9 to 5 along with multit-racking on logic and some final cut x, also a few times a week i run windows with a flight simulator for fun
#3 can i use it with bootcamp?
#4 is it recommended to enable TRIM? i keep reading that the OWC is pretty much ready to go for mac and that you don't need TRIM because of Garbage Collection
|Jan 9, 2013, 07:07 PM
2) Yes. Although SSDs haven't been around long enough to gather comprehensive reliability rates, the failure rate is microscopic.
3) Yes. What kind of question is this?
4) Yes. Even though most drives' memory controllers do garbage collection, it's still nice when the OS can issue TRIM commands on the go. Garbage collection is initiated by TRIM. TRIM is a command for garbage collection.

Have been waiting for the new year and things to settle down to decide what SSD to get.
From the help and suggestions I've received have decided that a Samsung will be the way to go. The 830 500gb drive I had my eye on a couple weeks ago has disappeared from the seller's site, and the others I've found listed are more than a little more cost than a new 840pro. So no 830.
So its come down to a 250gb 840pro, which would be paired with moving the 750gb HD over to the optical bay. But I am having thoughts now of a 'plain Jane' 840 500gb and keeping the DVD at least for a time.
I've been reading the Samsung 840 is not as fast [as the 840pro] or the best quality [cheaper memory used], but thinking any upgrade from a HD will be great, and 500gb would be nice.
Question to any 840 users or opinions Will the 840 be as dependable? Will I really see [feel] a difference between the 840 and 840pro? The 840 500gb is priced right in the middle between the 840pro 250gb and 840pro 500gb, good deal?

did it
So I finally did it. Bought a Samsung 840 Pro 512gb along with 16gb 1600mhz of Corsair Vengeance RAM and installed them this morning.
The 830 prices have jumped in [way up there] price, maybe because there was only a few of the new-old stock left, the OWC SSD prices are up there even if its a good drive, and the 840 Pro just seemed the best 'fit', and the larger 512gb drive was a good deal ($130 less then the 480gb OWC drive). Probably could have been fine with a 256gb drive and HD in the optical bay solution, but wanted to see if I could keep the DVD as I burn CDs and watch DVDs now and then and it would be nice to have it 'on the go' without bringing an extra something along. The MBP late 2011 shows the RAM to be running at 1600 and the speed tests are up there where they should be for the SSD.
Time will tell if I need the file storage space and move the HD over to the optical bay. For now after a clean install of Mountain Lion will just move my files over from my old computer in a orderly way and get it right.
As I was hoping and wanted; an updated last of the MBP 17" 2011 2.5ghz, big screen as my 'desk computer' to move around the house and occasional trips away, fastest I can get for what it is (plenty fast for my use for now), new (bought off the Apple refurbished store) but in a familiar way (looks the same as my 2010 17" with the difference inside).

optical bay kit
Hey folks,
I'm about to buy either one of the ssd's and here's a question.

Where do I get an optical bay adapter for hdd if I decide to go for samsung pro?
Preferably EU, since we have high import taxes in Denmark..

That caddy/adapter looks fine.
My early 2011 has the SSD in the caddy as my 1TB HDD is too thick, it makes no difference as both connect to SATA at 6G...

Interpol forensic experts scheduled to fly to Tacloban
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Forensic experts from the International Police (Interpol) are scheduled to fly to Tacloban City to help in identifying the victims of monster typhoon "Yolanda" (international name: Haiyan).
Justice Secretary Leila De Lima told reporters that she has already met with the Interpol's Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) team which will assist the NBI in the huge task of identifying thousands of cadavers.
"This weekend, they will go to Tacloban to make an initial assessment to be able to make a proposal on how to go about the DVI given the magnitude of the casualties," De Lima said.
"Of course, Interpol has a lot of experience already not only competence, not only expertise in that area but experience in dealing with this situation on all types of disasters," she added.
The Interpol team is composed of experts from Canada, United Kingdom, Cameron, Jordan, Bosnia and South Africa.
"That's the initial team and depending on the exact process, I think more experts from the Interpol will fly to the country," she said.
De Lima believed that Interpol's assistance in the DVI operations would be very helpful, citing the same help extended by the international body during the "Princess of the Star" tragedy off Romblon in June 2008.
She also said that the integrity of the whole process of identifying the casualties will be ensured with the help of the foreign forensics experts.
The first batch of NBI experts flew to Tacloban on Tuesday last week. It was composed of 15 to 20 forensic experts. A second batch followed over the weekend.
De Lima said the NBI forensic team is planning to set up apartment-type tombs to be able to identify an initial batch of 700 collected cadavers.

MacArthur Genius Awards Announced, Winners Include Elizabeth Turk and Jorge Pardo
It was announced today that 23 diverse people are winners of the 2010 MacArthur Foundation's "Genius" Awards. According to this New York Times story:
Twelve men and 11 women, ranging in age from 30 to 72, were named MacArthur fellows this year. All will receive $100,000 a year for five years, no strings attached.
The youngest, John Dabiri, 30, is a biophysicist at the California Institute of Technology who explores the hydrodynamics of jellyfish propulsion. The oldest, Matthew Carter, 72, is a type designer in Cambridge, Mass., known for his elegant letter forms for different mediums. Mr. Carter also designed the typefaces used for headlines in The New York Times newspaper.
Since the inception of the program in 1981 and including this year's fellows, 828 people, ranging in age from 18 to 82 at the time of their selection, have been named.
As before, two artists who show at well-known galleries and exhibit their work in museums, were among the recipients:
According to the commendations accompanying each award, Jorge Pardo, installation artist, "is engaging viewers in the United States and abroad with works that produce great visual delight while questioning distinctions between fine art and design."
And, Elizabeth Turk, "is pushing the physical limits of her material and reviving a classical medium for contemporary artistic exploration."
Previous winners have included the following well-known artists: Robert Irwin and James Turrell (1984), Martin Puryear and Bill Viola (1989), Lee Friedlander (1990), David Hammons (1991), Ann Hamilton (1993), Robert Adams (1994), Cindy Sherman (1995), Vija Celmins and Kara Walker (1997), Janine Antoni and Gary Hill (1998), Elizabeth Murray and Fred Wilson (1999), Alfredo Jaar (2000), Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle (2001), Toba Khedoori (2002), Sarah Sze (2003), Julie Mehretu (2005), Josiah McElheny and Shahzia Sikander (2006), Tara Donovan (2008), Mark Bradford, Rackstraw Downes and Camille Utterback (2009).

It's been nearly two years since Trayvon Martin of Miami Gardens was fatally shot while walking home in Sanford, Fla.
This weekend a peace walk and a remembrance dinner are planned to celebrate the life of the teenager who would have turned 19 this month.
The shooting that claimed his life, along with the subsequent trial and acquittal of the man who pulled the trigger, led to a nationwide discussion about Florida's self-defense Stand Your Ground law, and racial profiling.
Florida House Democrats met with reporters Wednesday to say they don't want to turn Thursday's Stand Your Ground hearing into a publicity stunt.
The House Criminal Justice Subcommittee will take up a bill by Democratic state Representative Alan Williams. The measure would repeal the 2005 Florida law that says people don't have to retreat in a situation where they fear for their lives.
Originally published on Thu October 31, 2013 11:03 am
The police chief in Sanford, Fla., where neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin in February 2012, will unveil rules next week that stress "volunteers are not to carry guns and not to follow suspects," our colleagues at Orlando's WMFE report.
Like at other summer camps, the young people who spent a week at MetroTown last month put on skits and competed in sports. But the purpose of MetroTown, unlike a typical recreational summer camp, is to teach students empathy.
Students engaged in camp-wide discussions on race, diversity, gender, sexuality and religion.
MetroTown, held July 21 to 26, is a sleepaway camp offered by the Miami Coalition of Christians and Jews and hosted by St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens.
The calls to boycott Florida grew louder and more widespread on Friday after Gov. Rick Scott reiterated his support for the broad self-defense law that was key to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case.
Scott told demonstrators occupying the state capitol on Thursday that he will not submit the Stand Your Ground law to a special legislative session for revisions despite demands by activists, elected leaders and at least one prosecutor earlier in the day.
Days after the jury's decision, South Florida – and the nation – still struggles to understand the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin.
Was it Stand Your Ground or other self-defense laws that determined the outcome? One juror who spoke with CNN said:
We're covering reactions to the Seminole County jury's decision to acquit George Zimmerman.
Tell us what you think by calling (305) 330-WLRN (9576) or tweet us @WLRN. We'll also be updating this page.
Not guilty. That was the verdict reached Saturday night by an all-female jury in the George Zimmerman trial. Reaction to the decision in South Florida, like the rest of the country, has ranged from shock and anger to relief.
RELATED: South Florida Reacts To Verdict In Zimmerman Trial
Today on the Florida Roundup at noon on 91.3 FM:
We're bracing for a verdict in the Zimmerman case, a trial that has the state on edge. Does Florida's Stand Your Ground law make it an open-and-shut case for the defense? And is too much being made of the possible reaction if Trayvon Martin's killer is set free?
The U.S. Justice Department finds - for the second time in a decade - that City of Miami police used excessive force in a spate of shootings, seven resulting in the deaths of black residents of the city.
As the George Zimmerman murder trial continues in Sanford, local law enforcement is planning for possible riots once a verdict is reached.
Zimmerman is facing second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin.
The case sparked protests last year when Zimmerman wasn't immediately arrested, and Broward Sheriff Scott Israel wants to avoid any trouble when the trial ends.
His office has produced a PSA with the theme raise your voice, not your hands.
On The Florida Roundup, we take a look at three big decisions out of Washington, D.C. this week: the U.S. Supreme Court decisions on gay marriage and the Voting Rights Act as well as the U.S. Senate's vote on the immigration bill.
Miami-Dade County's Community Relations Board -- peacekeeper for the last half-century among the region's raucously contentious cultures and between the people and the police -- is getting ready for the aftermath of the George Zimmerman trial in Sanford.
for News Service of Florida
The panel charged by Gov. Rick Scott with reviewing the state's 'stand your ground' self-defense law did not recommend any major changes to the statute, although it did make suggestions for tweaks by the Legislature in the upcoming session. The basic premise of the law isn't challenged in the final report released Friday. Scott's Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection included lawmakers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, representatives of minority communities and law enforcement.
Originally published on Mon December 3, 2012 8:26 pm
George Zimmerman's defense team just released a photograph they say was taken the night he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
A black-and-white photocopy of the picture had already been released, but this photo is the first high-resolution and clear view we've gotten of Zimmerman on the night of the shooting.
"George Zimmerman's murder trial in the death of Trayvon Martin was set for June 10 during a hearing in court this morning," the Orlando Sentinel reports. Attorneys expect the trial will take about three weeks, the newspaper adds.

Hi all, I haven't been active on this forum for too long (it's been a very busy year)!
I recently started digging into Poser's Cloth room, an my, was I surprised at the easy results I got with dynamic clothing!
I prefer to render all my 3D ontent in Carrara, en figured out a way to "transfer" dynamic clothing between the two programs, by exporting the simulated dynamic clorting as Obj's or Collada files—then adding them as morph targets for the clothes in Carrara.
The morphs work fine, but unfortunately the clothes offset from the Daz figures I use, and it is quite a mission to get it aligned with them again!
Does anyone know of a better way to do this??
I will appreciate it big-time!

Vacancy at patent office 'untenable,' senator says
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the ranking member of the Finance Committee, is calling on President Barack Obama to nominate a permanent director for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The top spot at the patent agency has remained vacant since former director David Kappos departed the agency in February 2013. In a letter to President Barack Obama and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, Hatch said the vacancy "hampers the agency's ability to influence policy and make long-term plans."

My daycare center has been putting my child's food in a plastic bag and then putting it in a very hot hot pot. I think this is very dangerous because of the possible toxins from the plastic in high heat. I'm curious what your daycare does to heat your food. i have containers that are microwaveable and dishwater safe so i'm assuming that these might work too? they can just put the container in the hot water to heat his food? Any advice is extremely appreciated! Hes in daycare from 8-6 so i can't just heat his food in the mornng and assume a thermos would do the trick (i also dont like the idea of food sitting in a container all day outside of a fridge)
thanks in advance!

Hall of Famer Bob Feller dies at 92
CLEVELAND Teenage pitching sensation, World War II hero, outspoken Hall of Famer and local sports treasure. Bob Feller was all of them.
One of a kind, he was an American original.
Blessed with a right arm that earned the Iowa farmboy the nickname "Rapid Robert" and made him one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, Feller, who left baseball in the prime of his career to fight for his country, died Wednesday night. He was 92.
Feller, who won 266 games in 18 seasons - all with the Indians - died at 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday night of acute leukemia at a hospice, said Bob DiBiasio, the Indians vice president of public relations.
Remarkably fit until late in life, Feller had suffered serious health setbacks in recent months. He was diagnosed with leukemia in August, and while undergoing chemotherapy, he fainted and his heart briefly stopped. Eventually, he had pacemaker implanted.
In November, he was hospitalized with pneumonia and recently released into hospice care.
Even as his health deteriorated, Feller continued doing what he loved most - attending Indians games deep into last season.
"Nobody lives forever and I've had a blessed life," Feller said in September. "I'd like to stay on this side of the grass for as long as I can, though. I'd really like to see the Indians win a World Series."
Feller, in fact, was part of the rotation the last time the Indians won it all - in 1948.
Fiercely proud and patriotic, Feller's life was much like one of his overpowering fastballs. He seemed unstoppable, whether on the mound or in conversation. Feller, who broke into the majors at the tender age of 17, could always bring the heat.
"Bob Feller is gone. We cannot be surprised," Indians owner Larry Dolan said in a statement. "Yet, it seems improbable. Bob has been such an integral part of our fabric, so much more than an ex-ballplayer, so much more than any Cleveland Indians player. He is Cleveland, Ohio.
"To say he will be missed is such an understatement. More to the point, he will not be missed because he will always be with us," he said.
Feller was part of a vaunted Indians' rotation in the 1940s and `50s with fellow Hall of Famers Bob Lemon and Early Wynn. He finished with 2,581 career strikeouts, led the American League in strikeouts seven times, pitched three no-hitters - including the only one on opening day - and recorded a jaw-dropping 12 one-hitters.
Feller's win total remains a Cleveland team record, one that seems almost untouchable in today's free-agent era. His numbers would no doubt have been even greater had his career not been interrupted by World War II.
The first pitcher to win 20 games before he was 21, Feller was enshrined in Cooperstown in 1962, his first year of eligibility.
The Indians retired his No. 19 jersey in 1957 and immortalized the greatest player in franchise history with a statue when they opened their downtown stadium in 1994. The sculpture is vintage Feller, captured forever in the middle of his patented windmill windup, rearing back to fire another pitch.

Naruto: III
Boredom Strikes Again - Kakashi - Writting
Its based on 'What if Kakashi had a son'. I started toying with the thought and came up with a story for the idea =] It mainly focuses on his son but it cuts back and forth between Kakashi and Skye. Im really trying to balance out how much you see the both of them but at the moment im just writting and will see where it goes =]
Forgotten Past, Dark Future - Team 7 - Finished but Rewriting
This was originally written while on holiday. My friend was on holidays with me and everyday wanted a new chapter, hence whys its on of the few unfinished one =] I found it two years later on my ipod and read it and was like this is good but i am crap at writting o.O So i decided on my holiday i would buy a pen and note book and rewrite it and so i am currently doing that =]

Josh zings & misses in Texas return
I would volunteer to be Josh Hamilton's publicist, except it's too late.
I would have advised Hamilton to say all the right things about Dallas-Fort Worth, rather than question the region's merits as a "baseball town."
PICK 'EMWhen it comes to predicting division winners, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi only agree on one thing.
I would have advised him to make peace with Rangers fans, rather than say, "I will never take back what I said until they show up here every night for 30 years."
Finally, I would have told him to make like Red Sox manager John Farrell did under similar circumstances this weekend in Toronto, and take the high road even if the fans will not.
Instead, Hamilton needlessly picked a fight with Rangers fans in spring training, creating what he described to reporters as an "absolute nightmare" when he returned to Texas with his new team, the Angels.
The strain on Hamilton is evident — he went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts and a walk in the first two games of the series, falling to 1-for-20 for the season. On Saturday, the Rangers almost gleefully turned up the heat on their former slugger, issuing three intentional walks to the hitter in front of him, Albert Pujols.
I'd almost feel sorry for Hamilton, if only he hadn't brought much of this upon himself.
Farrell never will be forgiven in Toronto for saying that Boston was his "dream job" after the Blue Jays traded him to the Red Sox. Hamilton, likewise, never will be forgiven in Texas for bolting the Rangers for their chief division rival as a free agent — and questioning the loyalty of the fans who had supported him the previous five years.
Both Farrell and Hamilton have been booed loudly, even viciously, in their former cities the past two days. But Farrell, at least, was smart enough to be diplomatic, showing that he understood the inevitable criticism that players and managers face when they take controversial stands.
"We live in the public eye," Farrell told reporters. "Every move we make, every action we undertake is scrutinized and publicized and talked through and through. Sports gives people the right to express their opinion in the stands."
I'm not saying the fans in Texas were completely rational. I'm not saying the fans in Toronto were completely rational, either. The anger in both places, at times, was over the top, difficult for outsiders to comprehend.
Hamilton wasn't wrong when he said that football is king in Texas. And it's pretty easy to understand why Farrell, after two frustrating seasons with the Jays, longed to return to Boston, where he was comfortable with the front office and had succeeded as a pitching coach.
But guess what?
Many fans don't care.
If you're still keeping score in the age of social media, rational discourse trails by 10 runs in the bottom of the ninth — and the deficit only keeps getting larger, with fans feeling more empowered than ever before.
COVERING THE BASESThe season is rolling along. Here are photos to get you started.
Of course, certain truths remain self-evident.
Fans will forgive almost anything from someone who helps their team win. And fans will turn immediately on that same individual the moment he is gone.
Oddly, Hamilton doesn't seem to get all of that. He apparently believes that Rangers fans should support him forever, even though he drove them nuts with his play at the end of last season, even though he found the team's record attendance of 3.46 million to be somehow lacking, even though he jumped to the Angels for $125 million in December.
Farrell, 50, is older than Hamilton, 31, savvier in how he deals with fans and media, more experienced in the real world. Hamilton, for all of his off-field struggles with addiction, is your typical superstar, accustomed to being coddled.
If anything, Hamilton is fortunate that Dallas-Fort Worth is less of "a baseball town" than others; otherwise, he would have faced far greater scrutiny during his time in Texas. Some with the club actually were surprised he did not receive more criticism for his various missteps and eccentricities.
This sense of betrayal that Hamilton seems to feel from some Rangers fans ... please. He could not have realistically expected the fans to continue treating him as "Our Josh." Once he signed with the Angels, he was, "Their Josh." There is nothing Hamilton can say to change that, which is why he should have said nothing at all.
See what charity this represents, see the bow ties Ken has worn and learn about BowTie Cause.
Fans, too, sound ridiculous when they act betrayed. Whether Hamilton reneged on a promise to give the Rangers a chance to top any other team's offer is immaterial. The Rangers had plenty of chances to sign Hamilton, and they passed.
In Farrell's case, Canadians often bristle when high-profile sports figures leave their country for the U.S. Americans should not take a condescending view of emotions that few of us understand. But did Jays fans really want to keep Farrell, to the point where they would call him a "traitor" for leaving?
Ah, there I go again, trying to inject logic into the conversation. Many fans would rather just vent, and that is their right.
I'd say the sooner Hamilton understands that, the better. But unfortunately for him, it's already too late.

I received the cover much quicker than I expected and had it installed in 15 minutes thanks to the video in the add. Two days after installation we experienced a 10 inch rainfall and the bed stayed totally dry. I have also noted a significant increase in mileage since the installation. I really like the ease of attachment to the bed and believe I will have many years of use from this cover

(a) Any party may serve written interrogatories upon any other party. Interrogatories may, without leave of court, be served upon any party after service of the summons and complaint. No party may serve more than a total of 50 interrogatories upon any other party unless permitted to do so by the court upon motion, notice and a showing of good cause. In computing the total number of interrogatories each subdivision of separate questions shall be counted as an interrogatory.
(b) The party upon whom the interrogatories have been served shall serve separate written answers or objections to each interrogatory within 30 days after service of the interrogatories, except that a defendant may serve answers or objections within 45 days after service of summons and complaint upon that defendant. The court, on motion and notice and for good cause shown, may enlarge or shorten the time.
(c) Objections shall state with particularity the grounds for the objection and may be served either as a part of the document containing the answers or separately. The party submitting the interrogatories may move for an order under Rule 37.01 with respect to any objection to or other failure to answer an interrogatory. Answers to interrogatories to which objection has been made shall be deferred until the objections are determined.
(d) Answers to interrogatories shall be stated fully in writing and shall be signed under oath by the party served or, if the party served is the state, a corporation, a partnership, or an association, by any officer or managing agent, who shall furnish such information as is available. A party shall restate the interrogatory being answered immediately preceding the answer to that interrogatory.
Without leave of court or written stipulation, any party may serve upon any other party written interrogatories, not exceeding 50 in number including all discrete subparts, to be answered by the party served or, if the party served is a public or private corporation or a partnership or association or governmental agency, by any officer or agent, who shall furnish such information as is available to the party. Leave to serve additional interrogatories shall be granted to the extent consistent with the principles of Rule 26.02(a).
(Amended effective January 1, 1997.)
This change retains the existing rule on interrogatories, and does not adopt the 1993 amendment to its federal counterpart. The federal courts adopted in 1993 an express numerical limitation on the number of interrogatories, limiting them to 25. Minnesota took this action to limit discovery in the 1975 amendments to the rules, limiting interrogatories to 50, and this limit has worked well in practice. The committee believes that the other changes in the federal rules are not significant enough in substance to warrant adoption in Minnesota.
The rule, however, is amended in one important way. The existing provision requiring a party receiving objections to interrogatories to move within 15 days to have the objections determined by the court and the waiver of a right to answers if such a motion is not made within the required time has not worked well. There is no reason to require such prompt action, and much to commend more orderly consideration of the objections. The absolute waiver of the old rule gives way to an explicit right to have the matter resolved by the court, and permits that to be done at any time. This permits the party receiving objections to determine their validity, attempt to resolve any dispute, consider the eventual importance of the information, and possibly to take the matter up with the court in conjunction with other matters. All of these reasons favor a more flexible rule.
Interrogatories may relate to any matters which can be inquired into pursuant to Rule 26.02, and the answers may be used to the extent permitted by the Minnesota Rules of Evidence.
An interrogatory otherwise proper is not necessarily objectionable merely because its answer involves an opinion or contention that relates to fact or the application of law to fact, but the court may order that such an interrogatory need not be answered until after designated discovery has been completed, a pretrial conference has been held, or at another later time.
Where the answer to an interrogatory may be derived or ascertained from the business records, including electronically stored information, of the party upon whom the interrogatory has been served or from an examination, audit, or inspection of such business records, including a compilation, abstract, or summary thereof, and the burden of deriving or ascertaining the answer is substantially the same for the party serving the interrogatory as for the party served, it is a sufficient answer to such interrogatory to specify the records from which the answer may be derived or ascertained and to afford to the party serving the interrogatory reasonable opportunity to examine, audit, or inspect such records and to make copies, compilations, abstracts, or summaries. A specification shall be in sufficient detail as to permit the interrogating party to locate and to identify, as readily as can the party served, the records from which the answer may be ascertained.
(Amended effective July 1, 2007.)
The amendment to Rule 33.03 in 2007 is simple but important. The existing rule allows a party to respond to an interrogatory by directing the requesting party to discover the information from designated documents. The amended rule does not change this procedure, but simply allows the responding party to designate electronic records from which the requested information can be obtained.

GIF: Kevin Bieksa gets mocked by a couple of Sharks fans
More NHL Playoffs: Scores | TV Schedule | Expert Picks | Odds | Mock Draft | Rumors
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa accused the San Jose Sharks of embellishing during their Western Conference Quarterfinal series. Naturally, this did not sit well with members of the Sharks or their coaching staff.
So when Kevin Bieksa was sent off for cross-checking with five minutes to play in the third period a couple of Sharks fans sitting behind the penalty box decided to have some fun.
Such enthusiasm!
The Sharks would go on to tie the game on that power play thanks to a goal from Joe Pavelski.
