 About Us

R. S. McEntire began an illustrious career as a furniture maker in Muscatine, Iowa. Sometime around 1869 he moved his business to Burlington, Iowa to expand the distribution network. As time progressed, he began specializing in the manufacture of bedding and bedding products. Then in 1887, he brought the Duplex Spring Bed Company to the Capital of Kansas Topeka, believing he could not successfully compete with a host of similar firms in southeast Iowa offering lower prices but lesser quality. After a short period in Topeka, according to published company histories, his partner left with the firm's cash, leaving McEntire with the building, inventory, accounts, and debts. The entire McEntire family responded by pitching in, using space in their building for commercial storage and economizing until the business was again on solid footing. The firm sold their mattresses through a network of independent salesmen throughout the Central Plains. After Richard's two sons assumed control in 1897, the company was renamed McEntire Brothers.

The firm eventually specialized in coil springs and mattresses, although they also manufactured other items such as porch swings and furniture at various times, their main focus remained in the mattress sector. They survived two devastating fires and the 1966 Tornado. By the mid-20th century, they operated warehouses in Kansas City; Oklahoma City; and Fort Worth, Texas. The company was later called McEntire Mattress and continues in business to this day as "Sleep Easy" making mattress with the most scientifically advanced material in the market today, visco elastic memory foam. Using only top quality components made and manufactured in the USA, Sleep Easy maintains a focus on producing a quality product at an exceptional value, while continually reinvesting in state of the art equipment. Thus allowing Sleep Easy to remain strong and dedicated to its customers and their needs. Today, the company is continuing the long tradition of providing quality mattresses that help people fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed so they can take on the day.

I just finished cutting 480 of these little squares. Of course I had to do it in one sitting that left me with a whopping blister beginning to emerge. I would tell you what I'm making except it could be a total flop. Now I'm thinking I should have thought this through a little bit before giving myself a blister. Here's to being spontaneous I guess. I hope you all have a great weekend. I'm going to enjoy every minute of this 80 degree weather forecasted this weekend. Finally!

Some still say they are mystified as to how it happened, but Sag Harbor Village Police confirmed on Wednesday that Christopher Rolf, 59, of Bridgehampton was pinned under his own vehicle, a black Porsche Cayenne, outside Chopping Charlie's on Long Island Avenue last Tuesday, February 28.
Jodi Cesta, 22, was in the area when she heard the accident, and was one of the first to arrive on the scene after it happened.
"I looked left and then I looked right, and all of a sudden he was underneath [the car]," she said.
Cesta went over to Rolf and said she and about five other people tried to extricate his pant leg from under the car's left front tire.
"We all tried lifting the car up, but it wouldn't lift off the guy," she said. The group also attempted to use a jack, found in the man's car, to lift the front bumper, but that proved fruitless, as well.
"He was just looking at me in the eyes, I'll never forget that look," she continued. "Like, please, you have to help me."
Sag Harbor Fire Department, Sag Harbor Ambulance crews and Sag Harbor Village Police arrived on the scene and ultimately, Cesta said, EMS crews ended up borrowing her knife to cut the Rolf's pant leg and free him from beneath the vehicle.
"It was weird, nobody else had a knife except me," said Cesta, a landscaper, who added that she carries the lime-green knife with her at all times. "I just hope he's ok."
According to Sag Harbor Village Police Chief Tom Fabiano, who spoke to Rolf at the scene of the accident, Rolf was trying to see whether or not a store was open at the time the incident occurred.
"He had gotten out of the car and apparently the car was not in park, it was probably in reverse," said Fabiano.
At that point, Fabiano noted, the car began to move and "he went back to try to stop it." However, one of Rolf's legs became caught beneath the front left tire of the vehicle, leaving him trapped beneath the wheel of his car.
According to Sag Harbor Fire Chief Pete Garypie, after part of Rolf's pant leg was cut away and his leg was successfully removed from beneath the front left tire of the vehicle, Rolf was airlifted to Stony Brook Hospital.
Officials say Rolf remained fully conscious throughout the ordeal, but suffered damage to his pelvis.

Speed Week: Lambo Aventador vs McLaren 12C
The big guns have been rolled out, they're primed and ready for action. Retreat to a safe distance...
Posted: 16 Aug 2013
It's not quite the elephant in the room, but it's definitely a Lamborghini in the pit lane. And it's been sitting there a while. The fact is, any Top Gear Speed Week that descends on a proper racing venue will have its share of winners and losers. Cars that feel supple and compliant on the road generally struggle on the track, and barely legal circuit warriors usually feel like renegades on the road. Sometimes a car can handle both, which is partly why we do this thing. The McLaren 12C - smaller, vastly less in-yer-face than its Italian rival, more yellow - might be one of those. But could that duality also be its undoing?
The Lambo intimidates. That's a core part of its character. Honestly, I'm unsure what to expect from the Aventador Roadster round the Circuit de Charade. We all are. In fact, a charade is one of the possible outcomes. Having driven the Lamborghini around Miami - including a so-so stint on the city's Speedway - and with Sam Philip out of Italy and over the Alps, I know this car about as well as the lucky muddy funsters who have 300 big ones to shell out on the thing for real.
Nothing short of a Pagani Huayra can touch it for sheer visual wallop. With its clever carbon roof panels stowed, the Aventador really is the gift that keeps on giving, a masterpiece of contemporary car design undaunted by its Miura and Countach predecessors (surely the Sgt Pepper and Dark Side of the Moon of the automotive world). But we're not exactly rushing to drive it.
Silly? Not really. We're only human - well, apart from The Stig - and even the most experienced among us needs to limber up before taking on the challenge this thing represents. That's part of its appeal, especially in our download world: if it's instant gratification you want, you're better off elsewhere. Yet, when you do finally grow some, the Lamborghini will comprehensively blow your mind. Forget about the fact that there's a 691bhp, 6.5-litre V12 behind your head, and that the Roadster can hit 62mph in three seconds (0.1sec less than the coupe) and 100mph in under seven. Ignore its colossal value, and expensively exotic carbon construction. Remember that there are 21in alloys at the back, wrapped in 355/25 super-sticky Pirelli Corsas, fairly chunky 255/35s at the front, and all-wheel drive. Engage brain and select launch control - Thrust mode, in vaguely pervy Lambo speak - and hold on. It's epic.
Size doesn't matter out here. We're not trying to park it, after all. The out lap is more exploratory than usual, a gathering of visual reference points for optimum braking and entry and exit, as well as general familiarisation. The hot French sun on your head is a reminder that this thing - with its noisy diff and power-station levels of combustion - has no roof. It's next-level stuff.
Start pushing, and the Lambo immediately scrambles your synapses, to the point where you have to deliberately and carefully recalibrate. Your senses - four out of the available five, and maybe even the faint taste of fear, too, for the full complement - go to DEFCON 1. But one of the weird and most wonderful things about the Aventador Roadster is how quickly you get used to it, and how magnificent it turns out to be once you realise that, actually, it isn't interested in killing you.
Unsurprisingly, much of the joy lies in the engine. It's carved on a tablet of stone somewhere that there's no substitute for cubic inches, but even primitive man must have thought - shortly after inventing the wheel - that 12 cylinders would really rock. They might go the way of the woolly mammoth eventually, but Lambo is wholly committed to the cause. Initially, the Aventador's surfeit of power is bewildering, and you'll get nowhere near its potential. On the road, you have to find a seriously long stretch - and have something of a death wish or a prison-food fetish - to scale the heights of second, third or fourth. But even just a paddle in the torque's shallows is fun. Rumble away in sixth gear from 1,000rpm, and the build is as euphorically 'please never stop' as the best banging old-skool rave anthem you can think of.
A few laps in, though, and sixth doesn't get a look in. It all goes a bit more heavy metal. Charade is a fantastic circuit, and its first corner is one of the best, a fast left-hander that demands chunky commitment from the driver and chassis excellence from the car. The Lambo sails round in fourth on part-throttle, confidence-inspiring but also surprisingly adjustable. In fact, it's so good here that it really does set you up mentally and physically for the rest of the lap. Into the tight right that comes next, second gear, and that sharky nose understeers no matter what you do, but, after that, it's gravy virtually all the way. Ride the kerbs through the next corner, hook third and power uphill for the quick left and right... It's not exactly agile, and you're second-guessing just how pendulous it might all get, but it's totally, awesomely connected, and everything is tingling in your hands like there's an electric charge passing through the controls. All the while, that V12 bellows outrageously. The sun is still hot.
Charade's downhill section is pretty senior, with a tight, second-gear turn waiting at the bottom if you get it right, and a gravel trap if you don't. The Lambo's brakes aren't the last word in feel, but you can throw it into the corner with shocking impunity. It's amazingly good here, and blisteringly fast on the up- and downhill section that follows. Clip the apex and take fifth. This is a mighty machine.
If only the gearbox could keep pace: an Aventador Achilles' heel since day one, the Roadster's software tweaks help, but only marginally. At least in Corsa mode you can chalk up the violence of the shifts to the overwhelming sense of drama. Also, and it might seem like a technical point, but left-foot braking is a no-no: even with the traction control disabled, the car's systems shut the power off abruptly, destroying your lap. Brake conventionally, and this big Miami poser's car is actually marginally faster than the AMG SLS Black and the McLaren 12C. I predicted as much; no one believed me...
The McLaren feels wildly different. It also disappears almost immediately from the pit lane - there's no pre-flight familiarisation necessary. Unlike the Aventador. It's relatively compact, easy to get into and see out of, and comes with such a reputation for usability that its sky-scraping performance is almost overshadowed. The Lambo is an event car; the Mac, an everyday one. Mind you, in Spider form, McLaren has also been forced to debug the 12C - those glitching doors and frozen satnav - as well as turning up the heat on the strangely anodyne Ricardo-designed 3.8-litre, flat-plane crank, twin-turbo V8. It now delivers 616bhp at 7,500rpm, but, perhaps just as importantly, the 12C also has sharper throttle response (to get round the ever-so-slightly deadening hand of the twin turbos) and more satisfying shifts from the dual-clutch 'box.
This is an odd sort of car. That might seem like a strange thing to write about the 12C, but this Speed Week, more than any other gathering we've held that's brought the McLaren together with various others, crystallises the debate about 'soul' (the Porsche Cayman is another contender that prompts this slippery discussion.) Objectively speaking, the 12C is the best supercar in the world. It just is. Optimise its various settings - Track mode for the suspension, full aero - then launch it off the line (no Thrusting onanism here), and it attacks the circuit in a way that literally will suck the air out of your lungs. It's mind-warp fast, and feels faster than the SLS Black and the Aventador because it's smaller, better-packaged, and there's no sense of being slung out back, as on the AMG, or pushed to the front with a monster on your ass, as in the Lamborghini. In the McLaren, you are part of that carbon tub, and the rest of it springs, tendril-like, from there. It's even a bit sci-fi, a Minority Report-style supercar that cancels your driving crimes before you've committed them. This car feels as though it's hijacked your central nervous system (one day, this'll happen for real).
Some areas of the 12C benefit hugely from McLaren's emphasis on efficiency. There's no doubt that its aero is off the scale, that its braking is impossibly good - though a few of us could have used more feel at the top of the pedal - and that it's amazingly rigid. In fact, it's worth pointingout that the Spider is more solid than the Ferrari 458 Spider. The 12C also steers beautifully.
But there's a problem. After a day swapping between cars - all of them, not just the pricey stuff - the sense that the McLaren is missing something is inescapable. It might be as simple as a straightforward off button for the traction and stability-control software. The 12C is almost certainly faster with some degree of control still on - McLaren is all about optimisation, after all - and this isn't just about being able to indulge in tail-out antics. It's more philosophical than that.
Fact is, the 12C is the Orwellian supercar, and while it's potent, it's all done on its terms. Objectively speaking, and we're sure telemetry would back this up, the 12C carves the optimum line around our circuit. It's so good it doesn't actually need any adjustability. But on a track, when you're pushing your own limits as well as the machine's, that sense of altering the car's line with your right foot is priceless. The 12C just needs to loosen up a bit. And besides, no one likes being told what to do.
So while the 12C's lap time matches the Lamborghini's and AMG's almost to the tenth, if there was a coefficient of fun to go with it, it might tell a different story. We're human, after all.

I heard silva is gonna move up and save the card! He just meant he doesnt want to fight at 185 until the end of 2013.
I would love to see Cormier or Barnett step in but Im sure thats not happening. I wouldnt mind seeing Struve step in for a rematch. He has been on a roll lately.
This sucks as Carwin is one of my favorite fighters and this pretty much means his career is done.
Brown Pride
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
Damn I was looking forward to this. Carwin is old and probably doesn't have much left.
Would be down for the Struve vs Nelson Rematch. Would watch Nelson vs Barry.
That would be absolutely sick.....like AIDS in Africa sick.

This just copied from Discworld Monthly online Mag, regarding Pterrys progress on the next book.
On the up side, the progress on I Shall Wear Midnight is rapid,
thanks to Dragon Dictate and rather more to the guys at
TalkingPoint - the front end that makes it much easier to use -
who made contact with me through this very page. I'm so impressed
by it, that if my typing ability came back overnight, I would
continue to use it. I have no hesitation in praising the product
as I have already paid for two licenses and a year's maintenance.
Anyway, we have to do this stuff otherwise what was the point of

All except the Dells and a trip to Sebasco Resort in Maine were great! Soon we'll be heading west. We're going to do some touristy stops like the Corn Palace, Wall Drug and Mount Rushmore on our way to visit my sister and b.i.l. in Montana, then we'll spend a few days in Yellowstone. Really excited! It is a 3 week trip though, longer than our usual trips. A lot of togetherness!

Scaling compute power and storage in space-constrained datacenters is one of the top IT challenges of our time. With datacenters worldwide pressed to maximize both within the same floor space, the central challenge is increasing density.
At IBM we continue to design products that help businesses meet their most pressing IT requirements, whether it's optimizing data analytics, data management, the fastest growing workloads such as social media and cloud delivery or, of course, increasing compute and storage density. Our technology partners are a crucial part of our work, and this week at AIS we are teaming with LSI to showcase our new high-density NeXtScale computing platform and x3650 M4 HD server. Both leverage LSI® SAS RAID controllers for data protection, and the x3650 M4 HD server features an integrated leading-edge LSI 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller.
NeXtScale System – ideal for HPC, cloud service providers and Web 2.0
The NeXtScale System®, an economical addition to the IBM System® family, maximizes usable compute density by packing up to 84 x86-based systems and 2,016 processing cores into a standard 19-inch rack to enable seamless integration into existing infrastructures. The family also enables organizations of all sizes and budgets to start small and scale rapidly for growth. The NeXtScale System is an ideal high-density solution for high-performance computing (HPC), cloud service providers and Web 2.0.
The System x3650 M4 HD, IBM's newest high-density storage server, is designed for data-intensive analytics or business-critical workloads. The 2U rack server supports up to 62% more drive bays than the System x3650 M4 platform, providing connections for up to 26 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs. The server is powered by the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 family and features up to 6 PCIe 3.0 slots and an onboard LSI 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller. This combination gives a big boost to data applications and cloud deployments by increasing the processing power, performance and data protection that are the lifeblood of these environments.
IBM dense storage solutions to help drive data management, cloud computing and big data strategies
Cloud computing and big data will continue to have a tremendous impact on the IT infrastructure and create data management challenges for businesses. At IBM, we think holistically about the needs of our customers and believe that our new line of dense storage solutions will help them design, develop and execute on their data management, cloud computing and big data strategies.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #21
Dr. Yen Sin
#2 The Mystery of the Golden Skull
by Donald E. Keyhoe
Read by Michael C. Gwynne.
Liner Notes by Will Murray
Ever since Sax Rohmer conceived Dr. Fu Manchu, thriller writers have attempted to emulate his sinister appeal. No class of authors vied to out-villain Rohmer more than the pulp writers of the 1930s. The very best of these imitations was the work of top pulpateer Donald E. Keyhoe, later to make headlines as the retired Air Force officer who claimed that flying saucers were real.
Dr. Yen Sin
lasted only three issues in 1936, but Keyhoes short-lived trilogy was a memorable attempt to given the Yellow Peril theme a mature and suspenseful treatment. The premise is a familiar onea sinister Chinese super-scientist out to conquer the world. Pitted against him is the Q-Group, headed by State Department operative Michael Traile, who because of a childhood accident cannot sleep. Instead, he employs Yoga as a substitute. Under Traile are a host of secret agents, chief of whom is Eric Gordon of the F. B. I., who reports personally to Director John Gloveractually J. Edgar Hoover. Adding a dash of feminine mystique is Sins mysterious cohort, Sonya Damatri, while Eric Gordons girlfriend, Iris Vaughan, furnishes the series love interest.
Beginning with
The Mystery of The Dragons Shadow
and continuing through
The Mystery of the Golden Skull
The Mystery of the Singing Mummies
, the running battle between Dr. Yen Sin and his sleepless nemesis is a riveting roller-coaster ride of exotic torture, diabolic doom devices and sudden death that rages from Washington, D. C. to San Francisco! One wishes that Popular Publications had seen fit to publish the promised fourth installment,
The Mystery of the Faceless Men
This series was that good!
Here is the riveting second encounter between Traile and Dr. Sin.
The Mystery of the Golden Skull
is narrated with pulsing intensity by
Michael C. Gwynne.
New York City is the stage. Horror is the watchword as Dr. Sin attempts to revive the secret society known as the Circle of the Golden Skull. What happens when Michael Traile steals the Golden Skull talismanforcing Yen Sin to search for him?
Also included are a trio of Chinatown tales by Moran Tudury, Don Cameron, and Arden X. Pangborn.

@ Ars Electronica: The Big Picture
As our world becomes increasingly complex and inter-connected, we need a new lens to help us make sense of it all....more
Curator's Note
Based on the 19th-century Northern Circumpolar Map, this visualization depicts the chaos theory in abstract mathematics.
Based on the ECCO2 Ocean Circulation Model, this visualization displays ocean surface currents around the world during the period between June 2005 and December 2007.
Encompassing more than 350 thousand websites from 196 countries and from all domain zones, the map presents the links between websites. Each website is represented by a circle on the map, and the larger the amount of traffic of the website, the bigger the circle. Users' switching between websites forms connections, and stronger connections position the websites closer to each other.
Mapping Wikipedia visualizes all the geo-located wikipedia articles for a number of languages. The mapping highlights geo-linguistic contours and uneven geographies: regions that are densely populated with contested edits, and virtual deserts with sparse article coverage. The work offers an intriguing mirror of cultural and sociological difference, and a vast aggregate of shared human effort.
Everyone Ever in the World is a visual representation of people who have lived versus who have been killed in wars, massacres and genocide during the recorded history of humankind. The visualization uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to represent the concepts of life and death respectively. The total number of people to have lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census data and known biological birth rates. This results in approximately 77.6 billion human beings to have ever lived during the recorded history of humankind and is represented in the poster.
Never Forever Never For Now is a quantitative visualization of the transient nature of empire. The visualization graphs all known empires, colonies and territorial occupations from 2334 BCE to the present day. Each empire occupies a slice of the pie graph with a known start (+) and end (×) date. Each slice is assigned a transparency value of 10% allowing for concurrent empires to be visualized – the more empires that occupy the same period of time in history, the whiter the graph. As history progresses, the competition for wealth, resources and the relentless drive toward conquest and occupation is clearly seen in the graph.
If the Internet is a global phenomenon, it is because there are fiber-optic cables underneath the ocean. Light goes in on one shore and comes out the other, making these tubes the fundamental conduit of information throughout the global village. To make the light travel enormous distances, thousands of volts of electricity are sent through the cable's copper sleeve to power repeaters, each the size and roughly the shape of a 600-pound bluefin tuna. Once a cable reaches a coast, it enters a building known as a 'landing station' that receives and transmits the flashes of light sent across the water. The fiber-optic lines then connect to key hubs, known as 'Internet exchange points,' which, for the most part, follow geography and population.
Space has always been an important field in visualization. View of the Sky #2 is a star map that allows the user to choose between real and apparent positions of the stars, and thus reveals actual 3D shapes of constellations.
What if you could take a picture looking at the same direction from 20,000 locations spaced evenly throughout a city? And what if you assembled those photos into a map of the city? With some code and some knowledge of how Google's Streetview backend works, you can. The project 18,154 Consistent and Regular Views of NYC does just that: the built and natural fauna of the city, and its high level structure emerge.
Maps offer distorted projections of the real world, and these deformations get stored mentally to the point that they can become collective representations of the geography of the real world. Metrography attempts to explore this phenomenon using the most famous of transit maps: the London Underground. With this project it is possible to observe the deformation of geography based on time.
Sea Transportation Network is a series of visualizations of sea transportation paths that were traced based on the real GPS coordinates of vessels during 2010. Ships visible in the video are simulated agents following the paths. A number of patterns emerge from this chaotic network of connections: from hubs like the Suez or Panama, through the transportation belt between Europe and Asia, to how spread the routes in the Pacific Ocean are. And despite invisible geographical information, viewers can still recognize shapes of the continents like Africa.
Communication is an integral part of daily life in cities, and today we are able to replay all the data related to communication networks. In a given day, Swisscom subscribers in Geneva generate approximately 15 million connections from 2 million phone calls. This information called 'digital traces' offers new insights about cities, which are of great interest both from a economic and political perspective.
urbmet.org is a web-map that illustrates data on material and energy use in cities. The goal is to provide an intuitive way of understanding this complex system using an interactive interface. 42 cities have been analyzed and their material and energy intensities have been estimated.
This visualization presents a map of the known universe. All the astronomical objects have been projected onto a plane, and a logarithmic scale has been used to show both nearby objects, like our own solar system, as well as objects that are lightyears away, like quasars and galaxies.
Worldshapin helps to study the interdependence of health, living standards, carbon footprint of a country, workplace equality, and education across countries in the last three decades. Worldshapin is a tool to visualize the interplay between sustainability and human development. It forms a unique picture of the world through shapes that are easy to understand as well as interesting and unique to look at.
This visualization shows money movements around the world due to remittances (money sent by migrants to their home country). In contrast to all direct efforts made by governments in trying to alleviate poverty, the remittances are particular initiatives which all together have in some cases a notable influence in a country's GDP (gross domestic product) and are therefore contributing to economic growth and poverty alleviation. Looking at wealth inequality in the world, migration and remittances can be seen as a spontaneous process of trying to get more balance in the global wealth.
Migration is one of the major problems in global world. Every year millions of people change their locations. Peoplemovin is an interactive graph that highlights migration patterns in the world as of year 2010 in one single view through the use of a slopechart.
Scientists today suggest that we have entered a new geological epoch dominated by humanity - the Anthropocene. This film is a 3-minute journey through the last 250 years of our history from the start of the Industrial Revolution. The film charts the growth of humanity into a global force on an equivalent scale to major geological processes.
The map visualizes the global digital divide. It displays more than 80,000 populated places in blue and about 350,000 locations of IP addresses in red. White dots indicate places where many people live and many IP addresses are available. The IP address locations are taken from the GeoLiteCity database by MaxMind and the database of populated places is taken from geonames.org.
Sense of Patterns is a series of printed data visualizations aiming to depict the behaviors of masses in different public spaces. It is based on data related to Vienna and its suburbs, displaying taxi trips during the July 25, 2011.
The map provides an estimate of building energy consumption ('delivered' energy as opposed to 'primary' energy) throughout New York City. The estimate is specific to the weather of New York, the particular function of the building and the built-up area of the building. The page describes how energy usage was estimated.
This map displays a network of diseases linked by known gene disorder associations, indicating the common genetic origin of many diseases.
This network map represents the influencers in the world over time. It uses Wikipedia to extract the data of those people with known influences, arranges them and clusters other personalities who are similarly related thinkers/authors. There are highlighted communities in different colors which reveal sub-networks within the total structure.

A few months ago, I got an ARC of my friend Cherie's forthcoming Steampunk book, Boneshaker. I've raved about it all over the place, so allow me to just sum up without repeating myself too much: it's awesome. I loved everything about it, and I can't wait for it to come out so the rest of the world can read it an understand why I loved it as much as I did. (See an early version of the cover here.)
Boneshaker is one of four stories that are all set in this cool steampunk alternate history world that Cherie calls The Clockwork Century. I just read on Cherie's Livejournal that she created a website for that world, which is cleverly called TheClockworkCentury.com. She says:
will be updated periodically with artwork from the series, including
maps and future book covers, publication and release information,
progress on upcoming projects, and anything else even marginally
pertinent to the universe.
If I may channel my inner Flounder for just a moment: "This is going to be great!"

basically i installed windows 8 yesterday on a unused partition on a hard drive that was currently in there and everything was fine could go into windows 8 and could go into windows 7. Now then i installed a seagate 3TB HD and it came up as is it couldnt read my disk drives to be able to boot from. I reinstalled windows 8 and from the boot options the windows 7 install on my SSD doesnt work. it says it cant access the disk but i can copy stuff from and to it through windows 8. Before at the boot menu it said windows 7 Volume 5. the volume 5 is gone next to it now so anyone got any ideas as to why its stopped working/unrecognizable and the recovery options dont seem to work.
asus sabertooth x58 motherboard
seagate barracuda 3TB (new one i installed)

Hitachi 3TB HD (storage and program partition)

I would absolutely love Vitor vs Bisping.
I would absolutely love Vitor vs Bisping.
Ive said it before, and here it comes again. Id love to see how Bisping does against the "fat" mark munoz. Im betting on poorly.
The UFC has put a lot of hype in the Bispings a contender show. He can draw $$$, but I bet the UFC is a little cautous not to give him a fight he should lose before a title fight happens. Too many $$ wasted if they do, and who in the UK will replace him for now. Only thing he has going against him is doing a PPV from the UK is a hard sell due to the time difference.
Bisping would get KTFO vs. Vitor if he tried his stick and move game on him... If he used his wrestling he may be able to pull it off...
Id love to see Bisping vs. Franklin or Okami... I know they always get pushed aside because they already got their shots, but in my mind they are better all around fighters than guys like Belcher, Boetch(Yes Okami lost to him.. but watch the fight), Munoz, Stann, etc.
Bisping vs. Lombard would also be very interesting... I dont know who I would pick. Lombard is susceptible to Bisping's stick and move, especially if it was only 3 rounds, but he does have huge power, good technique, and excellent TDD/takedowns of his own.

It is our great pleasure to announce the integration of the Revision3 site and apps with Chromecast. If you have the Chromecast device, you'll be able to cast any of our HD videos to your TV using your phone, tablet or laptop. In fact, you'll be able to turn your phone or tablet into a video input for your TV – basically, your device becomes a super-remote controlling your television. We've been casting to our TV using YouTube and Netflix for a while and now you can enjoy it with Revision3 videos across all devices. You can start by watching a video on how to make yourself fly like Superman, in the movies.
What we find especially exciting about Chromecast integration is that it ends all this device-switching while treating the phone and the tablet as first-class video delivery platforms. You can start watching a video on your phone or tablet, and then cast it in-progress to your TV once you walk into your living room. Or, start by casting a video from your phone or tablet to your TV, then pause it and take it with you into the kitchen or off to work. Chromecast makes your TV just another screen, bypassing the complexity of integrating with the multiplying numbers of set top platforms.
Certainly our team has had a great time working on this Chromecast integration. Here's a picture of our developers watching Revision3 on TV using Chromecast. Thanks guys!
How to use it:
- On Android download our app here. You'll also need to install the Chromecast app.
- In the Chrome Browser, get the extension here.
- iPad: search for Revision3 in the App Store. Stay tuned for our iPhone integration, coming soon.
- Our favorite Chromecast integrated apps, featured on Google.
When you have your Chromecast device plugged into your TV, an icon will appear on your app or browser indicating you can cast it to your TV . Click it and it will find your Chromecast and cast the video to your TV.

When referring to rare performance Camaros, most of us instantly think back to the first-gen "go-to's." Most notably, ones with names that end in "O." Names like COPO and Yenko quickly come to mind. Of course, there were others that had a horse in the supercar derby. Nickey, Dana, Baldwin-Motion, and Fred Gibb, to name a few. And if you were to bring up Berger, you'd be talking about another serious "player" of the late-sixties Supercar wars.
The First Berger/GMMG SS
So would a '99 Berger/GMMG Camaro be considered a historical piece of muscle car history? If it's the first car — the prototype, if you will — then the answer is absolutely "yes." Just ask Chris Light, the owner of this Berger/GMMG Camaro. "One of the things that makes this car interesting is that it's a true Hugger Orange Berger and the only '99 in existence. All the other Bergers were black cars that were later painted orange," said Chris. "Dennis Barker, of Berger Chevrolet, decided in July of 1999 to build 25 specialty Camaros to celebrate Berger's 75th Anniversary."
In the fall of 2000, this Camaro was built as a Phase I car, then a year later was beefed up as a Phase II hot rod.
A genuine Berger calling card, it was used as a promotional piece at a number of car shows including a stint on the '01 Hot Rod Power Tour.
In 2004, Dennis sold the car to John Fullerton, who was sales manager of Jacky Jones Chevrolet in Murphy, North Carolina. Not long after, Chris got wind that it was for sale and traded in his '01 LE car for John's 89,000-mile Berger prototype.
Although the car was in really good shape when he bought it, Chris knew it was special, so a minor restoration was on tap. He replaced the center console, some minor trim pieces, and installed a 1LE sway bar out back to match the one up front.
To keep the car in show-quality condition, Chris has been gradually picking away at replacing worn parts as needed. At this point most all the "little stuff" has been updated or upgraded to Chris' highbrow taste.
Being the first Berger fourth-gen, and the only '99 ever built, has gotten the car some added attention and invitations to some pretty high-end car shows.
"One of the coolest things I've been able to do with the car is show it at the '07 Forge Show held at the Chattanooga Convention Center," mentioned Chris. "This is an invitation-only show where the rarest, most collectible muscle cars on the planet are displayed. I was so excited that I spent five weeks detailing the car to have it ready for that show. I was absolutely honored to display my car next to some super rare muscle cars."
The car was also in the Camaro display last winter at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for a few months holding court with other high-profile Camaros including Bumblebee, the Papa Johns second-gen, a few early 1LE cars, and a ZL1. Pretty stout company, for sure.
So with the Berger name firmly associated to this Camaro, performance plays a major part of the act, so Chris jumps at most every opportunity to get the car some track time. In 2010, he brought the car on two legs of the Hot Rod Power Tour, the LXS Fest in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and entered it in the Run to the Hills in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
With a tick over 400 hp to the rear wheels to play with, BMR tubular A-arms reside up front while Eibach springs front and rear lower the car 1 1/2 inches. The collaboration offers improved cornering performance and a more aggressive stance. Fikse five-spoke Profil 17x9.5-inch wheels take residence on all four corners, while Riken Raptor rubber (275/40-R17) ride up front and Nitto 555 (275/40-17) provide extra grip out back.
