Zod's Official Panthers Mock Draft Rounds 4-7
Round 4 - CJ Fiedorowicz TE Iowa
I have been big on this guy for a while, and he will be there for round 4. CJ is the best run blocking TE in the draft and has soft reliable hands in the passing game. He would immediately improve the Panthers horrible run game, something Carolina will desperately need this season if they hope to improve on being ranked 28th overall on offense.
Round 5 - Brandon Coleman WR Rutgers
With this pick the Panthers address their need for a go to red zone wide receiver. Coleman is not the fastest guy on the field, but at 6'6 and a 33 inch vertical he will present matchup problems for shorter defensive backs. Needs to develop more of an aggressive attitude, something RIcky Proehl and the Panthers newly acquired veteran receivers can aid in. Receivers his height rarely make an impact in the NFL, thus he will be available in round 5.
Round 6 - Justin Britt OT Missouri
Britt is a top notch OT prospect that will fall to the late rounds because of his injury issues in 2012. Before you lose interest in this pick, remember the Panthers drafted another such player in the past named Greg Hardy. Britt has performed well against the top rushers in college and shows the toughness to be a legitimate NFL caliber player. At 6'6 and 325lbs, he fits the Gettleman hog molly mold.He may be too tall for shorter QB's like Drew Brees to see over, but will be a good fit for Cam Newton.
Round 7 - Cody Davis FS Texas Tech
Davis had an excellent pro day at Texas Tech and will probably be a late round selection. Everyone knows he is a tackling machine and can contribute immediately on special teams. His only concern was his measurables against NFL receivers. Davis clocked a 4.41 40 which is good enough for him to be drafted. This pick has huge upside for the Panthers. Davis is aggressive and savvy enough to contribute at the NFL level, as seen by his 4 forced fumbles. He would immediately contribute on special teams which is all you can ask for in a 7th round pick.

I don't think Coleman will be there in the 5th, but if he is I'd be exceptionally happy. I'd be plenty satisfied with this day 3 overall.
If we could land CJ Fiedorowicz in round 4 I would be ecstatic.
All these picks are good with me.

Think CJ and Coleman will go one round sooner respectively, but would be great if they didn't

Brandon Colemon? Woot! I take back every thing I said about you behind your back.
I like Coleman since he is in my draft before the combine and i really like your 7
I like these picks much better than the first 2 rounds...overall I'd be happy with this draft. I have a feeling that we add a D linemen at some point though, although I liked the positions you filled in your mock.
Good points. Cody Davis is interesting. I had not heard of him. 4.41 is flying for a FS, much like Mitchell. I too have liked the TE from Iowa. Britt is 25 or so, so he is mature. He was pretty solid in college. Coleman may not be a 5th rounder, but in this draft, some talent will fall. That is the reason I think we grab 2 .
There is a name I have not seen discussed that I was hoping Zod would mention:
Dri Archer--RB/WR/KR, Kent State. (discuss).
Solid day 3.

Agreed. I mocked him in R3 over yonder in the Draft section. Could be a very intriguing slot receiver/tailback role.
Not really a fan of the draft as a whole but these rounds are better. Justin Britt and CJ are the ones that have the most value when picked here. Decent sh*t brah

Watched some film of Coleman at draft breakdown the other day...really not impressed, I've never seen a guy his size fight for the ball less than he does. I do like him in the 5th or later though.
Also, can Britt play LT?

Has anyone screaming for Brandon Coleman actually seen a Rutgers football game? The guy can't play. If he wasn't 6'6" no one would know his name. Quick, name another successful 6'6" WR...
Harold Carmichael was 6'8.
These days, most guys that tall end up at TE.
No opinion on the kid in question, but you asked
That's what she said.
Damned, another trap !

"Investments worth millions lost to China, East Europe, Asia Pacific nations"
CHENNAI: The National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) on Tuesday urged the Centre to come out with a definite plan for the next three to five years to tackle vital issues such as rupee appreciation, taxation and subsidies so that the country can attain a dominant position in Information Technology and IT-Enabled Services.
Speaking on "Innovation as the key to growth for the IT & ITES industry," organised by the Rotary Club of Madras, Nasscom chairman and Cognizant vice-chairman N. Lakshmi Narayanan said that as the Centre did not adopt a clear stance, "we have lost tens of millions of investment in the last six months to China, East European and Asia Pacific countries."
Mr. Lakshmi Narayanan said the companies were not in a position to charge more to offset the effect of the rising rupee as India was not a dominant player. "Other countries are providing subsidies, and this prevented us from becoming a dominant force. Providing subsidy is not the only way to attain a dominant position. But, if other countries are doing it, we have to follow them. It might take another two-three years for us to achieve the dominant position after which we can dictate terms."
He said many countries were not investing in India because there was no clear-cut taxation, and this issue had to be sorted out. Incentives should be given to industries to tackle the rupee appreciation. China had created an India-specific zone to attract more investment.
Mr. Lakshmi Narayanan urged the youngsters not to be afraid of failure but to keep trying out new things to achieve success.
"Those in Silicon Valley succeeded owing to their tolerance of failure."
"India has the great opportunity, talent pool and young mind. The young minds are ready to explore even things considered impossible by seniors… The Nasscom, through its Innovative Forum, will urge the entrepreneurs to take more risk and try new things," he said.

The faux-documentary format does nothing for the material, but Kaye turns in a chaotic and ultimately moving performance.
In addition to possessing the most confusing title of the year, Canadian filmmaker Michael Dowse's high-energy dance-club saga It's All Gone Pete Tong arrives in an elaborate package of spoof and deception that should win the admiration of any practical-joke connoisseur.

There are a LOT more regatioms you must read and understand before flying though and that didn't put people off. Not only do you have very similar ticketing regulations but you also have all the baggage size/weight allowances, security regs (what you can and can't carry into the cabin), various forms of ID, how long before departure you must arrive and check in (you can get through the gates at kings cross upto 30secs before departure-you normally need to be at an airport at least 30mins prior to your flight).
No one seems to moan about the need to know all the rules and regs for flying though-rail travel is easy and unrestricted in that sense.

Thursday Service Plays
Re: Thursday Service Plays
SOUTH CAROLINA vs VANDERBILT
Squares are jumping on the fave as expected. They got their tease as most big favorites covered in week 1 as well as the Overs. It's still in the unknown territory as we hit week 2, but the sharps and the dogs will slowly take over the party as Vegas isn't going to hand out free money on big faves much longer. This line opened at -9 and is now at 10.5 and could quite possibly go to 11 once the 9 to 5 crowd get off work but at worst it will settle at 10 which is a good number to work with and a generous number as we have a home dog that will be under the national lights on ESPN. Both teams found stars in their QB's last week. SC had no choice as Beecher threw 4 int's and got a concussion. SC switched it over to Sophomore Chris Smelley who was instrumental in three touchdowns. Chris Nickson who QB's for Vandy adds the dimension of mobility as he ran for 166 yards last week vs Miami-Ohio. Both offenses are going to have it tough tonight as both defenses played very well last week and really should be the focal points in tonight's match-up. Expecting to see some good defense that should keep the margin of victory close and that means a cover for our big dog tonight with Vanderbilt.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS vs NY GIANTS
We're not expecting much offense from either team. Both defenses are injured but this is the black and blue division of the NFC, so don't expect a blowout. With that said, a +4.5 line is more than generous for a dog. It is the first game of the season and this is a free play so don't go overboard because it's opening day. Sunday is around the corner and there's a full card of better games to play. Play it conservative and lets start the season with a dog to bark at +4.5
Re: Thursday Service Plays
Lee Kostroski
Minnesota Twins @ Toronto Blue Jays
PICK: Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays have had the Twins number with back-to-back late inning victories and confidence in the Minnesota bullpen is at an all-time low with even Joe Nathan struggling in the past two weeks. The Jays are 5-0 against the Twins this season and Minnesota is 1-7 in Toronto the past three seasons. This will be the 14th straight road game for Minnesota and it has clearly had an impact as Minnesota is just 3-8 in the last eleven games.
Kevin Slowey has been pitching extremely well but the Blue Jays defeated him earlier in the year and also hit him hard in a start last season. Toronto has won four straight games and in the last ten games the offense has come alive, scoring an average of five runs per game. Toronto is hitting .287 in that span and the Jays also maintain a strong home record at 39-29.
Jesse Litsch has allowed just three runs over his past three starts, spanning nearly 20 innings. At home this season Litsch is 5-2 with a 3.18 ERA and he has beaten the Twins the last two times he faced them. As evident in the first two games of this series the Blue Jay have a significant advantage in the bullpen as Toronto has the MLB's best bullpen ERA at 2.82. Minnesota relievers have really struggled in road games and it will be tough for Minnesota to fend off the sweep.

Stephen Nover
Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves
PICK: Over
The combination of two hot-hitting teams, a September call-up making his major league debut and Jo-Jo Reyes puts me on the 'over.'
It sure seems that Atlanta and Washington can reach double-digit scoring in this matchup.
The Nationals have reshuflled their pitching rotation. Shairon Martis gets his first big-league start. He'll face a Braves squad that is averaging 6.8 runs in their last five games.
Washington also is swinging the bats well, hitting .313 in its past nine games. The Nationals have gone 'over' in seven of their last eight games.
Reyes has been dreadful in his last 10 starts. He's 0-6 during this span with a 6.75 ERA. He's allowed 29 walks in his last 45 1/3 innings. In two appearances versus Washington this year, Reyes has been tagged for 10 earned runs and 15 hits in just 6 1/3 innings. That's a 14.21 ERA.
Gerry Davis, the scheduled home plate umpire, has been an 'over' ump with 60 percent of his games going above the total during the past two years.

We have these plays today
National Football League:
REDSKINS +4.5 at Giants
Major League Baseball:
REDS -119 over Pirates
RAYS -171 over Yankees
REDSKINS +4.5 -101 at Giants
We're expecting the Redskins to score between 17 and 24 points while the Giants score between 16 and 23 points. We expect one or the other team to win this game by maybe 3 or 4 points, but we don't know which team.....The Redskins' defense may be able to stop the Giants' running attack, but Manning's passing may be able to overcome his team's rushing problems. (Remember, the Giants' DEFENSE won the Super Bowl by holding the Patriots to only 14 points. Offense makes headlines, but defense wins football games.) We're guessing that the Redskins could win tonight, 21-20, but be sure to get a pointspread of at least 4 points. We'd probably pass this play at +3.5. (Too many possible 4-point total scores: 10-6, 13-9, 14-10, 17-13, 20-16, 21-17, 24-20.....Even 27-23 and 28-24.)
Re: Thursday Service Plays
I'm laying the points with NEW YORK. Wagering on the defending Super Bowl champion typically doesn't offer much value and I likely won't back the Giants too often this season. That being said, I feel that they are providing us with solid value for Thursday's opener. Additionally, I've noticed that recent Super Bowl champions tend to have no problem "getting up" for their opening game. In fact, they have been downright dominant in their first regular season game. Let's take a look at how the defending champions fared in their seven opening games this millennium. Last season, the defending champion Colts began their season by smashing the Saints by a score of 41-10. Two years ago, the Steelers (-1.5) defeated Miami by 11 points, despite playing without starting quarterback Ben Rothlisberger. The previous season, the Patriots (-7.5) defeated Oakland by double-digits. The Patriots also beat the Colts the year before that but "pushed" as three point favorites. Prior to that, Tampa Bay (+3) traveled to Philadelphia and "upset" the Eagles 17-0 on Monday Night. The Patriots crushed the Steelers by a score of 30-14 the previous season while Baltimore (-9.5) beat up on Chicago by double-digits the year before. That's 7-0 SU and 6-0-1 ATS the last seven seasons! While I don't typically place a whole lot of importance on preseason results, it is worth mentioning that the Redskins enter the regular season on a real down note. After winning their first three preseason games under new coach Jim Zorn, the Redskins were absolutely horrible in the Week 3 'dress rehearsal' game, getting crushed by a score of 47-3. The defense couldn't stop anything and the starting offense did absolutely nothing. Campbell was 6-for-10 for only 39 yards, held onto the ball too long and was sacked four times. The Redskins' first-team offense played eight series, finishing with five three-and-outs, two turnovers and the end of the half. Of course, the play of the defense in that game wasn't helped by the injury to Jason Taylor. Still, as defensive coordinator Greg Blache noted: "I don't want to make excuses. We stunk pure and simple. If Jason got hurt, if Jason didn't get hurt, our job is to go play the next snap and play it as best we can. We came to the snaps after Jason got hurt and we didn't take care of what was important at that point in time..." After the Week 3 thrashing, in the hopes of getting rid of that bad taste and building some positive momentum, Zorn decided to play his starters a bit longer than normal in the preseason finale. That didn't help though as the Redskins lost that one by a score of 24-3 vs. Jacksonville. The Washington defense struggled again and the Jaguars held the Redskins' starting offense to a mere 14 total yards in three first-quarter drives! The Redskins are 7-10-2 ATS (6-13 SU) the last 19 times that they were underdogs of four points or less. On the other hand, the Giants are 13-6 ATS (14-5 SU) the last 19 times that they were favored by four points or less. Look for the defending champs to pick up where they left off, earning the win and cover on Thursday. *Main Event

San Diego Padres at Milwaukee Brewers
Milwaukee Brewers have won nine of their last 13 home games and are 41-27 at home this season. Contrary, San Diego Padres have lost their last 5 road games and are just 21-47 on the road this season. The Padres have dropped six of the last 9 meetings versus the Brewers in Milwaukee.
San Diego's Shawn Estes (1-1, 3.33) is 0-1 with a 3.63 ERA in his last three starts. The lefthander is 5-6 with a 6.01 ERA in 14 career starts against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee's Jeff Suppan (10-7, 4.49 ERA) is 2-0 with a 4.05 ERA in his last three starts. The right-hander is 5-3 with a 5.66 ERA in 10 career starts against San Diego.
Take the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. The Padres have played awful on the road and will be facing right-hander Jeff Suppan, who has won five straight decisions. The Brewers have won five of Suppan's last 6 starts, 10-4 in his last 14 at home.
Milwaukee Brewers -240
New York Giants -4½
New York has won three of the last four meetings versus Washington. Take the defending Super Bowl Champions at home. New York is the superior team with more talent then the Redskins.

KAN (-110) vs OAK
Kansas City at 8:10 ET. This is the second game of today?s doubleheader between the teams. We were on the Royals in Tuesday?s opener and they responded in kind with a pretty easy 5-2 win. We noted that day that Oakland is one team that Kansas City matches up well against because the A?s have an abundance of lefties in their starting rotation and the Royals sport a winning record vs. southpaws this season (26-20). Oakland?s Dan Meyer still has no wins in 16 career starts and the A?s have been outscored 30-10 in his last three starts. Take Kansas City.

Oscarxena Sports
Washington Nationals +1.27 (3 Unit Play)
There are usually two types of teams this time of season and that is one who continues to play hard and try while another one is the team that just shows up and wants to get the games and the season over with. Tonight's game in Atlanta is the perfect example of this as the Nationals are showing grit as they have won eight of their last nine games and appear to be fairly safe of not losing 100 games this season in which they were on track to do earlier. The Nationals will hand the ball to Shairon Martis who will be making his first career start and he has some impressive minor league numbers as he was 5-6 with a 3.64 ERA and struck out 99 batters while walking 45 in 116 1/3 innings of work. Martis only allowed 7 home runs in that span and recorded a 1.38 WHIP so if he does not get overly nervous tonight he should be a formidable starter against the Braves. The Braves meanwhile are the team that is just playing out the string and you can tell by the quotes that they just want this season to end. They will hand the ball to Jo Jo Reyes and he has been awful as over his past 10 games in which 9 were starts he is 0-6 with a 6.75 ERA and has allowed 29 walks in just 45 1/3 innings. Quite simply I will take a chance on the team playing better baseball right now and recommend a play on the Nationals here tonight.

NY Giants/ Washngton Under 41.5
The Under is 5-0 in Redskins last 5 games in Week 1 and 17-8-3 in Redskins last 28 vs. NFC East, while the 5-1 in Giants last 6 vs. NFC East and 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings in New York. Not one of the last 8 meetings in NY have then teams gone over 41 points, with the average score being just 30.1 ppg. Jason Campbell is now in his 7th offensive scheme in the last 8 years and it may take time for this unit to gell. After putting up 30 points in the HOF game vs Indy the Skins put up just 36 toal points in their next 4 preseason games. The Giants offense looked very good in their 2nd preseason game vs Cleveland, but in their other 3 games they put up just 36 total points.The Giant defense took some hits in the offseason and in preseason, but they played pretty well in the offseason, holding 3 of their 4 opponents to 14 points or less. I see them having sucess here vs a Washington offense that will take time to get its act together. The Giant offense has not been spectacular in the preseason as they put up 19 or less in 3 of the 4 games. I also feel this will be a game with more running and that will eat clock. The defenses really seem to be ahead of the offenses in this one and that should translate into the 7th Under in the last 9 meetings between these teams in NY.
South Carolina -9.5 over VANDERBILT
Vanderbilt is 0-8 SU when playing on ESPN and they are are just 3-18 ATS off a DD SU win, while teh Gamecocks are 9-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Last year South Carolina was 6-1 and had a home date with Vanderbilt, but they lost that game 17-6 and went on to lose the next 4 games, which kept them from making it to a bowl game. Payback is tonight. South carolina looked awfully impressive vs the Wolfpack last week, especially on the defensive side as they did not allow NC State in the redzone all night. The Offense struggled in the first half, but when Spurrier put in Chris Smelley in the second half, they put up 31 of their 34 points. Smelley gets the nod tonight. The Vandy offense put up 34 points vs a weak Miami-O defense that allowed 25 and 26 ppg the last 2 years, but this team still returns just 3 offensive starts, including none on the OL and they won't find the going so easy in this one. The Vandy defense did give up 13 points last week, but they allowed 340 yards of offense and were aided by 3 INT's. Vandy won by 21 points last week, but still outgained Miami by just 20 yards, plus they have not done well off a DD win (See Above). South Carolina may have a look-a-head game vs Georgia on deck, but Vandy upset them last year on their own field and I expect Spurrier to have his team ready to play. SC wins by 17 or more in this one.
South Carolina/ Vandy Under 41
The Under is 25-9 in Gamecocks last 34 road games and 20-8 in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, while the Under is 8-1 in Commodores last 9 conference games and 6-1 in their last 7 games in September. I really don't see Vandy getting more than 7 points in this one, while the Gamecocks will put up about 24-28 points. Should be an easy win for SC, but with a game that will end under 41.

It's a police chase you don't see everyday, at least not in the United States, and probably one you won't see on "Cops". Police in Midland,Texas were called last Tuesday by a resident who said his pet kangaroo had gotten away. Shortly thereafter the runaway 'roo was spotted hopping down a local highway and the chase was on.
Next Friday, November 22, marks the 5oth anniversary of the assassination of John. F Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, in Dallas, Texas. There have already been a number of TV movies, documentaries and commemorations of the life and death of JFK with more to come. An Italian artist, Dario Gambarin, found a unique way to honor the late President.

I'm still ill. But as the years slip by, I'm becoming more mompants.
I'm down with the sick Huntington Beach band, Avenged Sevenfold. But to me, A7X is just whack.
If those two paragraphs of urban slang are a bit confusing, imagine what it's like when children speak an entirely different language.
Sula Goldenberg, board member of the California Association of Marriage Family Therapists, says immigrant families have it the worse. Generation gap?
They face a cultural gap.
Goldenberg goes so far as to say that immigrant families – and Latinos in particular – are among the most psychologically stressed of any demographic in Orange County.
Paradoxically, immigrant families arrive here mentally better off.
• • •
Goldenberg, a graduate of Long Beach State with a master's in family therapy from National University in Costa Mesa, has first-hand knowledge.
She grew up in Lima, Peru, first speaking Spanish and then learning Hebrew at synagogue. Love – and marriage – landed her in Orange County. When she first moved here, Goldenberg missed home, even Lima's humidity.
For a time, she lost her sense of identity. Echoing what she's heard from other immigrants, she felt, "I'm not from here. I'm not from there."
Now, Orange County is home and English is her language. Still, during a conversation that fills an afternoon, she sometimes messes up an idiom, just as idioms mess up anyone with an adopted culture.
Instead of wearing emotions on her sleeve, she tells me she wears them under her sleeve.
Her slip is a hint at what all immigrant families face, especially when they're raising children. But the challenges are particularly difficult for the working poor.
One of the toughest problems?

These Dogs Say Grace Before Eating Dinner
It's important to give thanks, even for kibble.
It's important to give thanks, even for kibble.
The community in Filer, Idaho had its world torn asunder recently when video of a policeman shooting and killing a dog was captured on camera.
I recently saw a headline that read "I Have Chills After Watching This!" well, of course I'm going to click on it. That's when I saw a Queen Latifah video showcasing 'Dogs on Deployment'. Here is your WARNING! Go grab a BUNCH of tissues before watching the video.
Choosing the 10 Best Super Bowl Commercials of 2014 was no easy task, but we have narrowed this year's library of amazing ads down to the best of the best.
Come on, dog. It's just a little duckling, fer Pete's sake.
Just when you thought CarMax raised the bar of cuteness with their "Slow Bark" commercial, Budweiser's Super Bowl 2014 commercial went and melted our hearts.
CarMax might have earned an epic slow clap from all the people they've ever given a good deal on a used car, but for this Super Bowl 2014 commercial they also have received a slow bark. That's right, CarMax parodies their own Super Bowl 2014 commercial by reenacting their same exact commercial with puppies instead of actors.
Audi is known for being among the big three of German luxury automakers, so it makes sense that they would go all out in the latest of leaked Super Bowl 2014 commercials. This car commercial features an animal revving through the streets that is as pretty as it is powerful. It's cute, it's ruthless, it's a fashion accessory and it's a trophy breed -- meet the Doberhuahua!
Last week I shared a story with you about a little shih tzu that was hit by a car on Rogers Lane while chasing cars. Lucky for this little guy a soldier by the name of Zac Roberts happened to be on that same highway when this little pup was hit. He was able to get the dog to the Lawton Animal Shelter and they were able to help get him to a vet. You can read the beginning of the story HERE.
I have been keeping updated on this little guy that has been named "Lawton-Lucky" and here is what I have learned.
With thievery skills like this, Lucy the beagle deserves those chicken nuggets.
Story by Nancy Mace and James Meeks
UPDATE 1/15/14 9:05 pm: The Vets say that this is one of the worst HBC (hit by car) cases they have seen in a long time. Lawton Lucky has had to undergo extensive surgeries. Click here to find out how he is doing.
I saw a picture of this dog Wednesday on the Lost and Found Animals of Lawton Facebook page. As I read the story of what happened to the little Shih Tzu mix, my heart sank and I just wanted to do whatever I could to get this poor pup help.

What is the likelihood of receiving a false positive or false negative with an HIV test?
The current testing protocols are highly accurate but not perfect. The probability of a false result on the test depends on the test and on the likelihood that the person is infected.
Falsely negative tests occur in people who are truly infected with HIV but have negative tests. Among 1,000 people who are truly infected, rapid tests will be falsely negative in zero to six people, depending on the test. Negative antibody tests in people infected with HIV may occur because antibody concentrations are low or because antibodies have not yet developed. On average, antibodies take about four weeks to reach detectable levels after initial infection, and falsely negative tests may occur during this so-called HIV window period. Individuals with negative tests and who had high risk for HIV exposure should be retested in two to three months.
Falsely positive tests occur when uninfected people have positive tests. Among 1,000 people who do not have disease, rapid tests will be falsely positive in zero to nine people, depending on the test. This is the main reason for not relying on a single positive test for diagnosis. As discussed above, all positive initial tests must be confirmed with a Western blot. When both tests are positive, the likelihood of a person being HIV infected is >99%. Sometimes, the Western blot may be indeterminate, meaning that it is neither positive nor negative. In these cases, the tests are usually repeated at a later date or an RNA test is done.

8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
My brother wants to use his PC (down stairs) with his TV (up stairs) and because of his current setup (he has the down stairs TV connected to it already via a VGA to S-Vid converter box) he only has two options. Either use HDMI or composite video (bleghh).
Cost is definitely a factor, so expensive converters are out of the questions.
I'm not very familiar with HDMI and TVs in general but he has an 8800GTX (one from late '06... when they were released) with two DVI and a TV Out. He also has an Auzentech Xplosion sound card.
My main concern is with his TV and his video card.
The TV is a rather old Toshiba 720P\1080i CRT HDTV, I believe this is it:
http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpasse...26H82_spec.pdf (spec sheet)
http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/tacpasse...26H82_om_e.pdf (manual)
I was surprised that it even had HDMI, so I don't know if there are any issues with older HDMI TVs.
With the video card, I'm fairly certain that the 8800GTX doesn't have SPDIF pass through support through the DVI. Are there any other issues with sticking a DVI-HDMI adapter on this card other than the lack of audio over HDMI?
Also, any other suggestions or tips will be helpful.
I understand this is far from a perfect setup, but he's trying to make use of what he has available without breaking the bank. He would normally just use his PC and TV down stairs but he has a 1 year old daughter and its become nearly impossible for him to spend any time on his recently upgraded computer (Core 2 Quad @ 3.6Ghz, 4Gb DDR2, 8800GTX...) so he'd like to be able to do it from the living room up stairs.
BTW, www.monoprice.com is the only thing that's made this even remotely possible. You can get two 25 foot HDMI cables for $15 a piece, or a 50 foot composite A\V cable for a measly $12. 16 foot USB cables with built in repeaters are like $11. Even a new video converter box would only cost $27.
EDIT: Also, are there any issues with running 40-50 feet of HDMI, coax digital audio, RCA stereo or USB cables?
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
The only thing that I know along these lines is that with my Acer monitor, it doesn't work using a composite cable (with DVI on one end, and HDMI on the other). Since my video card only had dual DVI outputs, I had to use a cable with DVI on both ends.
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
I guess I'll post an update on this, just in case anyone else tries to do something similar.
The whole setup worked beautifully. :)
A generic DVI-HDMI adapter from monoprice sent the picture to the TV from the 8800GTX. In the TV's settings we switched the HDMI audio setting from HDMI to DVI to enable the RCA stereo inputs, which made the sound work immediately (running from the front channel output on the Xplosion while the down stairs sound system was still connected to optical).
We had to use Ultramon to create profiles and shortcuts to put on the desktops for the up stairs and down stairs computers to switch the Primary setting between the two. And that seems to work great. I was a little surprised that this was even required though. Hopefully Windows 7 or a later nvidia driver adds a feature like this.
Anyways, we ran the TV output at 1280x720 and turned off SVM in the TV's settings to clean up the picture. Its an older CRT HDTV so it doesn't look real great but its definitely better than an SDTV.
Other than that, everything went very smoothly. The USB, HDMI and RCA audio cables all work fine at that distance.
One major snag was getting some kind of power on by keyboard function. That doesn't work with wireless keyboards so we just used the Sleep function which works surprisingly well.
Also, the touch pad on our Adesso mini keyboard is a little annoying because it has tap-to-click and there aren't any drivers to disable it, but after getting used to it its fine.
All in all it was a great idea and it worked perfectly. We were playing Burnout Paradise for 4 hours last night with a 360 wireless controller. The PC was down stairs doing all the work, and we were up stairs on the couch enjoying some ultra smooth (60fps+ constant, 720P, 8xAA) gaming while the baby was taking a nap next to us. :lol:

Good think seeker was there to help CaptN.
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
Didn't notice this thread earlier, but yeah HDMI is basically DVI with a few extensions, and they are pin-compatible. If your TV is compliant with either, it shouldn't ever care about whether or not there is an audio signal. A DVI tv should just ignore the audio data coming in it the source was HDMI and included audio, and an HDMI tv won't care if its source doesn't include audio.
Assuming the TV is fully compliant anyways, it will break compliance with either standard if it behaves oddly in these situations.
As for your USB cables, you may consider getting a powered hub (e.g. includes an AC adapter) to put near the TV. Some devices, e.g. feedback joysticks and the like, and portable hard disks if you ever use those, won't like running that long distance without some kind of local power source.
Good choice on going with monoprice though btw, they have some of the best prices I've ever seen on cables, and the quality is great. A retailer that actually doesn't do you up the butt when it comes to cable prices while pretending its a good deal, imagine that.
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
Another update to this thread.
My brother bought a Vizio 42" 1080P 120Hz LCD to replace the old 26" a few months ago. I also bought a Blu-Ray drive and an external USB enclosure which we use to watch BluRay movies on the computer. It works beautifully, even with it connected to a USB hub (filled with 5 other devices) which is hooked to the end of 50 feet of USB cords.
Last night we got his home theater system all set up with the speakers mounted and the wires hidden behind molding. The TV is connected to the DirectTV HD-DVR receiver via HDMI and to the PC using HDMI and RCA stereo audio. The home theater system (a 3-4 year old Sony HTIB system... pretty basic but it sounds decent and supports DD and DTS 5.1) is connected to the TV's toslink digital out so that anything going into the TV through HDMI will be sent to the receiver.
The problem is getting digital sound from the PC to the TV. The TV only seems to support digital sound input via HDMI. It has no optical or coaxial digital input (just an optical output to go to a receiver).
So far the only thing I can find is a DVI+toslink to HDMI converter box like this:
Is there a better or less expensive way to do this since the 8800GTX apparently can't send audio over HDMI?
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
Optical from the PC to the receiver?
Re: 8800GTX DVI to old HDMI TV?
And it doesn't have HDMI so there wouldn't be any way to get the sound back to the TV to just use the TV speakers when the surround sound isn't needed (ie, when the baby is sleeping).

Sault tourism numbers off track in 2003.
But in a year where SARS, Mad Cow disease, tougher security at the U.S. border and uncertainty in the airline industry has caused a slump in North American travel spending, even the Algoma Central Railway's Agawa Canyon Tour Train has taken its share of hits.
After drawing more than 80,000 riders annually between 1996 and 2000, including a high of 88,667 in 1999, Mike Morrow, the railway's manager of passenger marketing, expects the tour train will draw only 59,000 visitors this year once the last leaf has fallen by the end of October.
"This year was an anomaly. There were just so many things against us," says Morrow. He notes public fears over West Nile disease, a slumping U.S. economy, corporate dotcom fiascoes affecting many American retirement funds, Canada's position on the Iraq war combined with three weeks of rain during the peak fall colours in late September, as having contributed to plummeting ridership.
Despite the setback, the 181-kilometer train excursion over the trestles, through granite rock formations and the mixed forests of the Canadian Shield made famous by the Group of Seven artists, has been the city's biggest tourism draw for more than 30 years. It has also been considered money in the bank for the city's hospitality sector.
Morrow explains the longevity and popularity of the nine-hour excursion for tourists and train buffs alike still remains the destination of Agawa Canyon.
Earlier this year, Algoma Central Railway was recognized by Tourism Sault Ste. Marie as the first-ever recipient of its Business of the Year Award for its long-standing contribution in establishing a strong tourism base and generating millions of dollars to the region's economy.
The train has carried over 2.7 million riders and more than three million since 1952.
Over the years, the railway has kept the product fresh by adding the Snow Train, Tour of the Line to Hearst, Tracks to Trails, snow mobile excursions, dome cars, the Canyon View camp car, luxury private car excursions and stops at wilderness lodges.
The railway has been the driving force behind the ACR market-share program involving Sault accommodation partners. The program entails packaging the train excursion with overnight stays and pooling marketing funds aimed at drawing more American tourists across the border.
With 70 per cent of visitors coming from the U.S. Midwest, Morrow says the effort has convinced most of the train's passengers to book hotel packages on the Canadian side of the St. Mary's River. This year, they have unveiled the Four-Culture Passport package with admission to four Sault area museums and galleries along with their tour train ticket.
Morrow wants to spruce up their rolling stock by accessing some provincial government dollars. Together with Bruce Strapp, president of the City of Sault Ste. Marie's Economic Development Corp. (EDC), Morrow has pulled together a proposal to form a private public partnership with the EDC to access Northern Ontario Heritage Fund money through a special fund accessible up to $5 million. Morrow has sent his proposal up the CN chain of command for matching dollars.
Ian McMillan, the city's director of tourism, agrees the Algoma Central Railway is the backbone of tourism and the market-share program for his department's tourism programs.
"The amount that they put into the industry in terms of tourism marketing and promotion, and the support they've show for us, Tourism Sault Ste. Marie, has ridden on the backs of their success story."
With the tour train as a staple attraction, Tourism Sault Ste. Marie has boosted visitations to the Sault Museum, Bushplane Heritage Museum, the Art Gallery of Algoma and the Clergue Blockhouse National Heritage Site through the Cultural Passport program. About 6,000 tour packages were sold this year.
Over the course of the year, McMillan says the winter months of January through April were good with more than 75,000 skier visits to the Searchmont Resort. There were increases in snowmobile trail permits, and hotel occupancy increased 34 per cent in January, two per cent in February and 14 per cent in March, until the summer months hit and the tourism market took a dive.

'Big Bucks, Big Pharma' is a shocking documentary exposing the sinister ways in which the the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry uses, manipulates and sometimes even creates illnesses for making profits. They work with the close cooperation of doctors and media to market these seemingly normal harmless prescribed drugs to insusceptible audiences.This investigative documentary challenges the commonly held beliefs and confronts the uncomfortable consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being, and letting this industry form our perceptions

I swear my box smelled like peaches when I opened it. However, this scent doesn't really smell like peaches when I put it on. The scent smelled good, but it is just like me. It was a little too complex for me. I like something fresh and citrusy. This does have citrus notes but it also has the woodsy more earthy notes to it too.4
When I recieved a sample of this in my box, I had never heard of English Laundry or their product line. I was very impressed with this fragrance. Not overpowering in the office yet lasts through the workday into afterhours. I recieved several compliments on this "cologne". I went ahead and purchased bottle and very happy with my purchase.
I would recommend to all my friends but I won't... this one is mine!
Bought this for my boyfriend after he got a sample of it in his birchbox. I was a big fan of it on him, very woodsy with a bit of softness. I got him the set for Valentine's day because it was such a great deal, Might as well spend a little extra to get the deodorant and body wash. Its a scent that won't become outdated, very classic and classy. Definitely worth the buy if you like the scent.5
After my boyfriend received this sample in his birchbox, I thought it smelled so great that I snuck online and purchased it for him for Valentine's day. The gift set is even better since it's not that much more that the 3.4 oz version and includes other items. The scent is also strong enough that it will last all day, but not so overpowering that you can't use a full spray.
I would definitely recommend it!
I was never much into cologne, so when I first smelled this fragrance, I thought it was just ok. However, when my girlfriend smelled it on me, she absolutely loved it, and so it grew on me considerably. This fragrance is what sparked my interest in colognes. Since I received this sample, I have tried many other colognes and I can with confidence say that this cologne is much better than a lot of what is out on the market.5

Rajinikanth has started dubbing for his upcoming Tamil period-drama "Kochadaiyaan" and the work pace of the southern superstar has amazed Oscar-winning sound engineer Resul Pookutty.
Directed by Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya, "Kochadaiyaan" is India's first motion-capture film, made along the lines of "Tin Tin" and "Avatar". The film also features R. Sarath Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Aadi Pinisetty, Shobana, Rukmini Vijayakumar, Jackie Shroff and Nasser.
"Rajini sir began dubbing for the film yesterday (Wednesday). He has already completed the first half and is likely to complete the rest in a day or two," a source from the film's until told IANS.
Meanwhile the rest of the crew is busy with post-production work in China.
Pookutty is working with the superstar closely for dubbing.
"It's unbelievable, his dedication and commitment to work. He finished the first half dubbing in a day," posted Pookutty on his Twitter page.
Soundarya headed off to China earlier this month to begin work on the post-production for the film, which is likely to hit theatres this summer.
Jointly produced by Eros International and Media One Global Entertainment, the film has music by A.R. Rahman.

Only a nascent trying to harness huge fire
Out on the beach in the darkness starting bonfire
So gorgeous, a man might cry
from John Mayer (Ft. Frank Ocean) – Wildfire Interlude Lyrics on Genius
"Nascent" means coming into existence, or emerging into the world, much like fire (love) grows, and how one grows up in the world.
First discovered by Cavemen and instantly made a key to survival, fire is natural, it can be made without tools or electricity, making it naturally beautiful, the scene of Frank on a beach is natural, it's true romance, and Frank painting this picture just shows how much he truly appreciates it. It's also an amazing analogy of her beauty and how in-depth their romance is.

EPA recognizes DoD bases for energy savings
Thursday - 2/16/2012, 7:36pm EST
From silver stars to energy stars — the Environmental Protection Agency has recognized two Defense Department installations for their energy efficient approaches toward generating power.
EPA recognized the Army Garrison at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, Calif. with the Energy Star Combined Heath and Power Award. Using combined heat and power — or CHP — the bases reported annual energy savings of $6.8 million, according to an EPA release.
Gary McNeil, a co-manager of EPA's Combined Heat and Power Program, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss what the two bases did to earn the awards.

Dec 19, 2013Cut the Rope 2 may not be the longest sequel, but its new well-animated characters, clever levels, and overall quality had me playing and laughing gleefully all the way through.
Dec 19, 2013It's a little heavy-handed with some of the in-app purchase suggestions, but Cut the Rope 2 is still quite the delight.
Dec 19, 2013Cut the Rope 2 is a more vibrant, more dynamic game than the original, but one that's clearly aimed squarely at existing fans of the series who just can't get enough of its candy-swinging gameplay.
Dec 19, 2013With over 100 stages of fun, each lasting about a minute in length, Cut the Rope 2 is both good for quick bursts of gameplay or longer bouts on the go… until it's time to pay, then only the most invested players will check back or pay.
Dec 27, 2013Cut the Rope 2 brings something new to the table, introducing several characters and changing some of the rules of the game.
Dec 22, 2013With several interesting additions, this is one of the puzzle games you cannot miss, especially if you liked the original.
Dec 19, 2013Just like its predecessor, Cut the Rope 2 may sound easy but it gets increasingly harder as you plow through it, which will just make you want to play it more.
Jan 7, 2014Instant puzzle solving fun. This sequel to the classic Cut the Rope series it´s a masterpiece for puzzle addicted users.
Jan 22, 2014Zeptolab's puzzle game is still one of the best gaming apps for iOS.
Dec 19, 2013Many rope-based physics puzzlers have hit the App Store since the introduction of the original Cut the Rope, but Cut the Rope 2 demonstrates Om Nom is still the top monster.
Dec 19, 2013Cut the Rope 2 doesn't change the formula, but it adds lots of fun new goodies.
Jan 7, 2014Provided you're still excited by the physics-based fun exemplified by the Cut the Rope series, you should find Cut the Rope 2 an inventive and stimulating addendum to the franchise.
Dec 27, 2013Cut the Rope 2 brings creative new puzzles to the table without losing track of what made the original game so addictive in the first place. With the promise of more worlds on the way, Om Nom fans can happily look to Cut the Rope 2 to help satisfy their appetite for puzzle games.
Dec 23, 2013Cut The Rope 2 is a must buy that is the sweetest treat yet.
Dec 19, 2013Cut The Rope 2 is a great time waster, but in the best way possible.
Dec 19, 2013While the newest Cut the Rope is one of the most creative and entertaining games you'll download on the App Store this month, you may already be bored with Om Nom and the trouble you go through to give him sweets.
Dec 19, 2013Cut the Rope 2 works in some new puzzle mechanics, but we hoped the series' first numbered sequel would feel just a bit more distinctive.

The puzzles are just as good as ever thanks to the plethora of new tricks. With new challenges to overcome and a seemingly endless amount of levels, this is one of the most content packed puzzlers available on mobile devices. So if you're a fan of this series then this is a no brainer. If you have yet to play a Cut the Rope game before then this will serve as an excellent introduction to what I believe to be one of the best puzzler series available for download. I recommend you download this ASAP.… Full Review »

Ga. school evacuated, 48 people taken to hospitals
"I had to find out about it on the news," he said.
A total of 42 students and six adults were taken to hospitals, Atlanta Public Schools said on its official Twitter site.
Other students from the school were taken to Brown Middle School for the rest of the day, and were being released to their parents.
Meanwhile, fire officials said they were ventilating the school in an attempt to reduce the amount of carbon monoxide.
In Baltimore last year, school officials vowed to put carbon monoxide detectors in all of the school system's approximately 200 schools after two carbon monoxide leaks within a week's time at one of the schools.
City officials in Baltimore said the battery-powered detectors cost $15 each wholesale.
Associated Press writer Christina Almeida contributed to this report.

These were some of the first mice toys I purchased for our cat. And she never touched them. Oh, she looked at them, sniffed them, smacked them once... and then walked off with her nose in the air. It seems some cats have enjoyed them, but mine didn't. And they are so small, I would worry about cats choking.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Small
