President Barack Obama lied about health care
About 3.5 million Americans received a notice from their insurance company that their plan would be canceled by the end of the year.
This letter is the opposite of what President Barack Obama said repeatedly while pushing for the Affordable Care Act's passage through Congress back in 2010. He said, over and over again, "If you like your health plan, you will be able keep your health plan."
Obviously, that's not true.
After taking considerable heat Obama tried to backtrack saying, "Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn't changed since the law passed."
No. That's not what you said dozens of times to the American people. Also, look at this screenshot from the White House's website.
It was taken Friday morning (the latest post on the right hand side shows the date of Nov. 07, 2013). It says, "If You Like the Insurance You Have, Keep It: Nothing in the proposal forces anyone to change the insurance they have. Period."
The key parts here are, "Nothing in the proposal forces anyone to change the insurance they have." Obamacare imposed a slew of new requirements, mandating every insurance plan cover what they called "Essential Health Benefits." Once implementation of the new law began, several million insurance policies had to change because they didn't meet the minimum requirements established under this law.
President Obama knew this and knew some would lose their insurance plans (despite his assurances), but continued to tell people they wouldn't. So did his website.
This week, the president apologized to those people saying, "I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me." That's fine. It's a smart political strategy when approval ratings drop. He is probably even genuine with his apology. However, he should be apologizing for misleading the American public time and time again from the beginning.
There's also a lesson here for voters: Politicians will do and say whatever they want in order to get their bills passed. They'll lie right to our faces if necessary. It's our job to investigate the laws they propose. Anyone could have looked at the new requirements Obamacare imposed, compared it to their health care plans and realized changes were coming. Instead we chose to take the president at his word.
Yes, shame on the president for misleading, but shame on us for believing him in the first place.

I'm a smart, kindhearted, quasi-sarcastic Texan who's been in the DC area for about a decade now and enjoys doing charity work and fundraising, especially for animal-related causes. It's difficult to meet worthwhile guys out and about, so I decided maybe I'd have more luck online - guess we'll see! The characteristics of my "ideal guy" include intelligence, empathy, humor and ambition... Someone who's smart and thoughtful as well as mature. A combination of all of the above is surprisingly difficult to find, but I'm confident I'll meet someone in this category one of these days. :) ,,, I'm keeping this short because as much as I honestly love to write, I feel odd writing about myself!

Some other viewpoint
One of my favorite places in DC is Hill Country, and in Old Town I like Murphy's. I really like non-snooty, relaxed places for purposes of people watching and socializing.

I love TV shows that fall under the "crime drama" category (all the Law & Order series, Dexter, etc.) but am primarily a bookworm. I also really enjoy writing, history and languages and am full of random, semi-useless facts.
Reading (especially books about history), crossword puzzles (I do one a day), Egyptian belly dance classes, planning events, hanging out with my girl friends (I have quite a few)... Depends on the day!
It took me a while to get through it, but I finally read Atlas Shrugged so I could see what all the fuss was about. I love books by Ken Follett (The Pillars of the Earth, Fall of Giants) and the entire Song of Ice and Fire (A Game of Thrones) series.

Manfish: a Story of Jacques Cousteau
In the 1970s "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" was a regular television show watched by a lot of people. Jacques Cousteau was the host of the show – an adventurer, explorer and teacher who took his boat called the Calypso all over the world filming amazing underwater creatures to show the rest of us. Jacques was like Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, but without all the "Crikey!" and alligator wrestling.
This book is the story of Jacques life as an adventurer and inventor. He helped develop the aqua lung – the tank that allows people to breath underwater. Jacques's message about keeping the ocean clean and protecting ocean creatures was way ahead of everyone else. Jacques was green before being green was cool!

How to Get Rich in the California Gold Rush
If you want to know what it was really like during the California Gold Rush, this book is a great place to start. It isn't a textbook telling all the facts, this is the inside story of the gold rush told by one of the miners himself, Thomas Hartley. Thomas tells the story from the day he heard about the discovery of gold in California. All the people around him can talk about is gold, "how much and how to get it and how to spend it once you've got it." Of course, they forget to talk about all the work…and the danger. Thomas's story includes blisters and rotting teeth, scurvy, dysentery, scheamers, crooks and murderers. A true adventure that just might end in fortune. Author: Tod Olson Illustrator: Scott Allred

Duel! Founding Fathers Behaving Badly
Look at that cover! Talk about making history intresting. Do you know the names Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton? Both worked for George Washington during the Revolution. Eventually, Aaron Burr became Vice – President and Alexander Hamilton became Secretery of the Treasury – he's the guy on our $10 bill. Here are two guys you would consider pretty smart…yet they both couldn't think of a better way to settle their differences than a duel – a fight to the death. And like many disagreements, their reasons seem very silly now! That's the thing about fighting, it usually seems pretty dumb later.
These two guys both had tempers, they were jealous, they argued, and they talked badly about each other to other people. They sound like a couple of school boy brats rather than the educated adults they were. Rather than work out their differences they agreed to have a duel, and they even sneaked off in the night to do it because they knew it was illegal. That's a lot of bad choices made by both of them. In the end, one walked away from the duel but lived out his life in disgrace…and the other was dead. Now that's a no-win situation!
This is a great book that brings two historic figures to full color life. It also goes to show you what a poor choice fighting is! Fighting has never been a smart way to solve differences. Thankfully, our politicians today use debates and interviews and speeches to settle their differences. So let's hear it for the 2008 presidential election, a war of words and not of fists.

Staff Pick: Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot
A true story. It's 1948 during the Berlin Airlift. Pilots, who three years earlier were bombing Berlin, are now in the business of saving Berliners from a slow, wintry starvation. One of those pilots is Lt. Gail Halvorsen. In addition to his deliveries of flour and coal, he parachutes Hershey Bars to the watching children. These children have never tasted candy. Halvorsen's kindness is a hit. He receives fan mail, and in one letter, a child named Mercedes asks the "Chocolate Pilot" to please drop some candy at her house. A knock on Mercedes' door begins a unique friendship. Author: Margot Raven Illustrator: Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen

From common North American red-eared slider turtles and river cooters to popular mud turtles, musk turtles and painted turtles, aquatic turtles make for interesting pets. While turtles may not be suited for most young children, there are turtle books that help to better inform beginning turtle caregivers on the basics of proper turtle care. Turtles are quite beautiful to observe and don't require much human interaction, but still need basic turtle supplies, such as housing, adequate lighting and heating, food and water. As aquatic turtles feed in the water, it's important to provide them with turtle food that has been developed for water feeding, such as floating pellets. By learning more about the different species of basking turtles from turtle books and articles, you can educate yourself on the right type of turtle food and supplies for your pet turtle. If an aquatic pet turtle is the right pet for you, check out the wide variety of aquariums, substrate, food and other necessary turtle supplies conveniently available online at petco.com.
When cared for properly, most species of turtles can have long life spans. As recommended by most turtle books, articles and seasoned turtle enthusiasts, it is important to change out the water in your turtle's aquarium regularly as turtles can become relatively messy. Among the turtle supplies needed is an efficient filtration system to help keep the water clean, as turtles not only swim, eat and eliminate in the water, but they also drink the water that is inside of their aquariums. With regard to turtle food that is right for your turtle, note that turtles have a need to feed more frequently when they are younger than they do in adulthood.
While freshwater turtles enjoy resting while sticking their heads out of the water, it's important to provide them with a rock or platform for basking, in addition to a log or hut for shelter. While thermometers, lighting and heating equipment ensure a healthy environment for your turtle to thrive, providing your turtle food rich in calcium will keep him healthy. As true omnivores, turtles enjoy vegetables in addition to food pellets made from shrimp and mealworms. Whether you are a beginning turtle care giver who can benefit from reading turtle books and articles or a seasoned enthusiast, promote the health and longevity of your pet turtle with the food, housing and turtle supplies that best accommodates his needs.More About Aquatic Turtle Supplies, Turtle Food and Turtle Books

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Saturday the U.S. stands ready to provide whatever assistance Algerian officials need in the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack at a natural gas complex in the Sahara.
Obama says US ready to assist Algerian officials
The four-day standoff appeared to end Saturday after Algerian special forces stormed the complex. The clash left at least 23 hostages dead and killed all 32 militants involved, the Algerian government said.
The State Department issued a travel warning Saturday night for Americans in or traveling to Algeria, citing credible threats of the kidnapping of Western nationals. The department also authorized the departure from Algeria of staff members' families if they choose to leave.
In a statement from the White House, Obama said the blame lay with the militants and that the United States condemns their actions.
"This attack is another reminder of the threat posed by al-Qaida and other violent extremist groups in North Africa," Obama said. "In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with the government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future."
Earlier Saturday, during a news conference in London with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, British Defense Minister Philip Hammond called the loss of life appalling and unacceptable.

Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
A Month and half ago I decided I wanted to dabble in the SLI front from Nvidia. I had read alot of things and decided I wanted to give it a try. My initial impressions were posted in this thread where I discussed the pros and cons of SLI. Things have come along way since then and profiles could never be easier to setup. If you're not satisfied with setting up profiles you are now also able to globally force SLI in the control panel providing you have the Coolbits Tweak installed on your system.
Step 1: Downloading and Installing coolbits. Coolbits can be downloaded several places but you can get here as well. After downloading coolbits2.reg you'll want to right click the file and merge it into your registry.
Step 2: At this point all you have to do is enter your control panel and globally force SLI in either Split Frame Rendering, Alternative Frame Rendering, or Single GPU Rendering. You can access these modes by selecting the "Show Advanced Settings" in the control panel.
Step 3: Setting up your SLI Profile within the drivers. The advantage of setting an SLI profile is that when you find your desired SLI rendering mode you are able to save it and the Nvidia drivers will forever pick up on it and automatically overwrite any global driver settings you have. This is exceedingly useful and convenient when dealing with SLI making it a one time setup for individual games that do not support SLI by default
Step 4: Play on! Once you have your SLI rendering method setup in either a global driver setting or SLI profile you will be able to play games with SLI enabled. Quite an improvement since my last article showing that Nvidia has been taking the steps to make SLI easier to use for everyone. One thing to note is if the SLI profile is already activated by default you cant change it within the control panel. I still advise editing the nvapps.xml and removing the "predefined" tag for SLI profiles that Nvidia has set and you wish to change manually. The other option is to use Nhancer which will also allow you to manipulate predefined SLI settings.
Tip 1: If Nvidia has a custom SLI profile for a certain app. Its probably best to leave it alone. Many SLI apps specified by Nvidia have specific compatibility bits which either improve performance or compatibility
Tip 2: Check out the load balancer in the SLI panel of the Nvidia Drivers. It will allow you to see how each game is being loaded on each GPU
Tip 3: If SLI doesnt not seem to be helping your performance. Try turning up the graphic resolution or anti aliasing settings. In many cases you are CPU limited and you can get away with quality settings for free with SLI.
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
Test Setup
Athlon 64 3800+ @ 2.4 Ghz
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
Geforce 6800GT x2 SLI
1 Gig DDR400 (Dual Channel)
71.84 Drivers
3dmark2k1 isnt terribly useful as a benchmark these days for graphic card referencing. All but 1 game test is completely CPU limited on modern graphic cards. However there are a few decent tests which scale well with graphic cards. The first important thing I would note is the Advanced Pixel shader test which makes use of pixel shader 1.4. The Geforce 6 series and SLI do exceedingly well in Pixel shader 1.4. It is also interesting to see how 2 6800GTS exceed 10000+ Fillrate in AFR mode. Quite a feat for modern graphic cards and certainly not something I expected last year!
Profile: Nvidia Custom AFR
Despite the controversary surrounding 3dmark03 on it's release it has still proven to be a popular test. My personal opinion is that Game Test 2 is the most reflective game as it uses similar rendering techniques seen in Doom 3. With the exception of Game Test 1 which is partially CPU limited all tests scale extremely well giving us a hint of how SLI will react to GPU/pixel bound scenerios.
Profile: Nvidia Custom AFR
3dmark05 is Futuremarks latest installment of the legendary 3dmark series. Once again you can see the test is purely bound by the graphic subsystem and unlike 3dmark03 there are no tests which show any real strong CPU reliance. SLI scales accordingly reaching an amazing score of 9000+.
Profile: Nvidia Custom AFR
Aquamark was one of our first alternative DirectX 9.0 benchmarks to 3dmark03 when it was released. This was actually a test that somewhat disapointed me. While i SLI didnt scale as well in this test it still was able to bring the score up by a significant margin. The test increases FPS by about 10 overall. Which is a fairly impressive leap for Aquamark.
Profile: AFR
I wanted to take a closer look at shader performance in AFR mode and Rightmark seemed to be the perfect program to do it. This fully customizable application allows you to test various shader functions with your graphic accelerator. I decided to focus on pixel performance because that is where current games are headed. Most notable is the very strong showing the SLI setup shows with pixel shader 1.4 model. The test nearly reaching 1000 FPS! The pixel shader 2.0 tests also scale exceedingly well. All tests were configured @ 1024x768 @ 100 Hz.
Profile: AFR
As with my prior SLI Article I wanted to test to see if SLI would show any real world benefits to shader limited scenerios beyond benchmarks. Obviously the results speak for themselves. The Ati demos ironically seem to scale better than the Nvidia demos. Another interesting note is how the Nalu demo did not seem to want to exceed 24 FPS. Perhaps a CPU limitation or something else.? I am not too sure. I will have to investigate further.
Profile: AFR
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
Benching Methodology: All benchmarks were done with fraps. I took 3 preset runs through a specific area of each map and divided the results by 3 to take the average. Average results were usually within 1 FPS. I feel these real time results are more accurate than time demos because they take into account in all game factors.
Half Life 2 was to be this years poster child DirectX 9.0 game. The game features a plethora of DirectX 9.0 shaders running in full FP32 precision on Nvidia hardware. Despite all this there are many situations where Half Life 2 appears to be CPU limited. Under many circumstances I found the minimum frame rate to be rather constant in this map. Otherwise SLI does seem to be doing its job. In Situations where 8xAA is used you see almost double performance.
Nvidia Custom AFR profile
As Half Life 2 is the poster child DirectX engine. Doom 3 is the poster child OpenGL engine for this last year. Most notably is the graphic engine seems to be completely limited by your graphic setup at these resolutions and scales accordingly. The game was completely playable @ 4xAA/16xAF with 1600x1200 resolution. To me this is quite a feat because even on a single 6800GT I have had to settle for less than that due to the game becoming choppy occasionally. The 8xAA solutions werent really playable with SLI with the exception of 1280x1024 resolution. However one thing really stands out. SLI is the way Doom 3 is meant to be played.
Profile: Standard AFR Profile
Far Cry was one of the first real tangible DirectX 9.0 games released. Offering stunning lighting and visuals and impressive wide open areas. The graphics were known for bringing last year and this years hardware to its knees. SLI scales fairly well with Far Cry. In most cases providing a pretty tangible increase. I was able to play Far Cry perfectly acceptably @ 1600x1200 with 4xAA/16xAF with no slow down. However 8xAA did not scale as well as we have seen in the prior games. This is probably due to the fact that the game uses SFR for its multi gpu rendering method. SFR usually does not scale as well as AFR unfortunately.
Profile: Nvidia Custom SFR Profile
Call of Duty is one of our tests that is not originally enabled for SLI by default. I had to coax it and edit out the single GPU rendering profile within the nvapps.xml. Then I enabled AFR through the control panel. This game is strongly CPU limited on an SLI setup. Even CPU limited @ 4xAA/16xAF at 1600x1200 resolution.. However turning up 8xAA/16xAF really allowed the SLI setup to stretch its legs. Call of Duty played at 8xAA/16xAF @ 1600x1200 resolution with smooth frame rates really is a site to behold.
Profile: Forced AFR profile
Admittedly this was my first chance to play Halo when doing this review. The game seems to feature a great deal of pixel shader 2.0 effects for speculiar effects among other things. The game does not seem to support anti aliasing so I left them disabled during this benchmark. In its stead I decided to use HQ anisotropic filtering for maximum quality in game. SLI once again scaled extremely well and brought many modes that were unplayable with a single GPU to a completely playable and enjoyable experience.
Profile: Nvidia Custom AFR Profile
I designed the Neverwinter Nights Harrowdale module. Back in the Geforce 4 days this game was very demanding on graphic cards and cpus alike.. I created the demo to use high amounts of fog and water effects rendered with pixel shaders. However like many other engines as time has passed its become an extremely CPU limited game that has not scaled well at all.. I know you're probably thinking. "Why bother benching this game?". The answer is pretty simple. If you have an SLI setup and are finding yourself CPU limited. You might as well crank it up.
Profile: Forced SFR Profile
Unfortunately this game didnt seem to scale well with SLI at all. Much to my surprise SLI provided minimal benefit to 8xAA. This could be seen by the fact that when you turned on 8xAA the load balancer fell to the bottom of the screen which means the secondary graphic card was doing very little. This didnt happen with the 4xAA tests. I speculate that 8xAA has become completely bandwith limited and SLI doesnt seem to scale as well with bandwith limited situations compared to situations which are fillrate limited. I have also noticed this oddity in Unreal Tournament games.
Conclusion: Well What can be said? SLI has come along way since I did my original article and that was only a month and a half ago! With Coolbits 2.0 you are able to manually set your own profiles within the Nvidia control panel as well globally force SLI. These are all steps in the right directions from the time I made my previous article.
What else can be said? Two Geforce 6800GTS operating in SLI mode provide ample performance with some to spare. I am happily going to be gaming on this rig for sometime to come. There are a few odd circumstances where SLI can fail such as games utilizing render to texture effects such as motion blur or bandwith limited games which are not limited by the GPUS graphic engine. However those issues aside. SLI has scaled exceedingly well and IMO there is no current better Dream Machine than a high end Nvidia SLI rig.
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
Thanks. I just like the fact that half the games show improved min FPS with SLI! (except Half Life2 can it be more cpu limited?)!
You should really buy Chronicles! :D

So .. was HL2 smooth @1600x1200,8xAA,16xAF from a gameplay prespective in SP mode ??
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
The point where I started my benchmarking always was 45 FPS. In SLI mode and in normal mode it was 45 as well in some places. This is probably because this paticular spot was CPU limited except on the single GPUs in 8x mode.. You can see how its CPU limited as well if you take note of the 6800GT @ 1280x1024 where the min is 48. Thus CPU overhead of SLI probably consistently dropped the minimum framerate)) Heh I felt the areas I played were Smooth, ((beginning, DM_Canals 1-3, and 5-6)) but I admittedly did not play the entire game.
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
i would try it but i have problem logging on/off to play the game in my SLI pc :(
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
It wasnt a demo. It was a loaded map. In your console for Half life 2, Type "map dm_canals6" and it will load you to the spot I did the benchmarking.((Well the outside part where all the water is and the broken boats) These werent done with demos. They were done in real time with fraps.
Btw. I included my benchmark methodology into the games section. So it would be more clear how I did it. I was kinda in a rush to get this in this morning so I missed alot of things and made many errors.
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
Hmm....gonna have to try out Call Of Duty @8xAA/16xAF @ 1600x1200 resolution :thumbsup:
Re: Nvidia 6800GT SLI investigation
Very nice work as usual Chris. Sometimes I think we're spoiled here by the quality and thoroughness of your investigations.

West Virginia lawyer Jan Dils favors expanded coverage for military veterans harmed by Agent Orange.
Parkersburg, WV (PRWEB) April 24, 2010 -- According to attorney Jan Dils, Vietnam veterans who have developed diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, B cell leukemia and ischemic heart disease should have an easier time obtaining disability benefits under a recently proposed change in veterans benefits.
In March, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs published a proposed rule change that will add these three illnesses to the list of health problems presumed to be caused by exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides.
"Thousands of our nation's veterans are suffering today because of their exposure to herbicides such as Agent Orange in Vietnam," said Dils, whose law firm focuses on helping disabled individuals receive Veterans disability and Social Security disability compensation. "This decision recognizes the fact that these veterans need help, and it speeds up the claims process."
Dils said that the proposed rule change would allow disabled Vietnam veterans to receive the help they deserve without having to prove a specific link between their disease and military service. Veterans who served in Vietnam anytime between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975 are presumed to have been exposed to dangerous herbicides. A 2009 study by the Institute of Medicine of t

In one of my predictions for 2015, I noted that the "Bird Safe" glass revolution would grow. One key area of growth is to get a stronger voice in the code process and that seemingly is happening. I think I underestimated the bird safe lobby and their desire to get safe glass specified and installed—probably because this has been an issue on the radar for several years. I remember being at a meeting where the always-on-top-of-things, Julie Schimmelpenningh (then of Solutia, now of Eastman) brought it up as an issue to be aware of and approach. And basically companies did; but the drumbeat for it to take off never took place. But now with easily available bird-safe glass products, and a possible push on the code side, we're about to see the revolution grow.
- Those of you who know me, know I have not been a fan of the USGBC green rating system LEED for a while now. Well it looks like I am getting more company on that front. First, a Turner Construction survey shows that interest in alternative green rating systems is up 250 percent in the last two years. And then we have Alabama, Georgia, Maine, and Mississippi that have now essentially "banned" the use of LEED for state-funded projects due to one of the credit items in the old 2009 criteria. Now I think green and sustainable building is a must (I prefer Net Zero), and having a solid, reliable and logical green rating system is crucial. So I am surely not against the concept, but against at least the set up of the biggest guy on the block. What will be interesting now is to see if any of these alternative systems can truly step up and be a significant competitor to LEED.
- Not sure where these stack up energy or "green" wise, but a very neat piece on the "5 coolest buildings" completed in 2014. None in the United States, but one is in British Columbia and I am curious which of the awesome glass fabricators in the Pacific Northwest supplied the glass for it…
- I'm still in shock over the Super Bowl… That ending. Wow. Anyway, the commercials are the best part for me, so a quick rundown here. Obviously the one that made the most news was the bizarre Nationwide "kid" commercial. If there was ever a PR and marketing combined fail, it was that one. Killing off a kid in front of 114 million viewers in efforts to sell insurance is simply wrong. To defend it by saying you were trying to "educate" is a joke as well. Best commercials for me: the Budweiser dog returning home (we have four dogs; I'd be a mess if one left); and the comical Bryant Gumbel/Katie Couric BMW flashback to 1994. I laughed even more as that was the year I got my AOL e-mail address that I still have and use today. Last, the Doritos middle seat commercial was great; all of us have been in that position in one form or another. Great twist.
- Last this week, I have noted here many times that following the Glass Magazine Twitter feed can be just as good as being there. And this past week that was true again during a Facades+ Conference in Los Angeles. The stream of tweets were quick and insightful. And once again, while I wish I could have attended, I was able to get some of the flavor needed thanks to the feed. That is where social media really pays off—the ability to real-time an interesting event. Or being able to review the feed at the end of the day and see it all at once. Nice work!

Food is tasty, but drinks are overpriced!Posted on 07 / 08 / 2014
Visited recently and despite the Chingrish translations such as "Private Jellyfish" and "Kernel Blasting Dragon Eel", the food was surprisingly good.
It lists all items as mock meat, though we didn't dare to try any of the imitation fish thanks to the above descriptions!
Drinks were overpriced, but the food was tasty. A meal for 3 with leftovers cost around 300RMB.
Cons: Drinks were overpriced.

Yes, an i7 would be faster if both were 480 sli systems. the 9550 will "hold it back" but only in the sense that it'll be slower than IF he had an i7. If he spent the money on 2 480s then you're definitely going to outperform a single 480 no matter how good the cpu is
if he's playing at high resolutions, like 2560x1600 only
I'd love to see someone prove me wrong. But in games that are graphically bound, the 480 sli setup will do better, that's just common sense. We're talking about a 2 year old near 4ghz quad core.... if it was a dual-core this would be different, but a 3.8ghz c2q is no slouch, at all.
They never said what resolution they'd be using, since it looks like they're upgrading from an older card I assume they don't use that high of a resolution. But
I think you'd see a bigger performance improvement with a 480 + a Core i7. With so many games games out there being console ports anyway you don't even need SLI 480s in a lot of cases even at high resolutions. Also it seems like a Core i7 should be able to overclock better than a Q9550.

Written for a fifteenth-century Italian court society hooked on Arthurian romance but also attuned to current world events, Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato [Orlando in Love] charts a complex imaginary course in which characters from diverse cultures encounter one another in ways that range from armed conflict to friendship and love. Although knights and damsels from around the globe are gripped by a number of passions, such as erotic desire, anger, ambition, compassion, and the desire for glory or revenge, their actions are not based on either religious or ethnic differences. The narrative thereby breaks out of the polarization of Christians and Saracens typical of Carolingian epic, presenting a broader …

Mike Mason and the definition of picture-perfect style and extension.
Years ago, I can recall riding with Mike Mason at a small town arena cross race in Red Bluff, Calif. There, for the first time, I witnessed the epic style that is known as 'Mike Mason.' FMX was not even considered a sport then, but that didn't stop Mike from throwing the most ridiculously extended supermans and no-footed can-cans.
Years later, Mike Mason remains one of the most naturally talented and flowing riders in the sport of FMX. His tricks are consistently floaters and always huge. Not only that, Mike is one of the funniest guys in the scene and always looking at the brighter side of things. After jokingly challenging him to a fight at EllisMania (which he declined), I decided that it was time to pay my respects and interview Mike. This is Mike Mason.
ESPN.com: What have you been up to lately?
Mason: Not a whole lot!! Did some Euro shows for a bit and now I am actually at rehearsals for Nuclear Cowboyz!
When did you start riding?
I got my first bike when I was 5. I'm 30 now so that's a long time of putting helmets on my little bald head.
Did you grow up riding in the desert area of Reno?
Yeah for sure. At my parent's house, we could ride right out of the driveway and into the hills so me, pops, Dustin Miller, and Brian Foster would always go riding.
Chris TedescoEven upside down, Mike Mason holds onto his style. Bad joke, I know.
How long did you race for?
I raced for about 15 years, got hurt a bit in 2002-2003 and was just over all of it! I was pretty sure I was going to quit, but Dustin Miller gave me one of his old Honda's and let me move in with him, so that at least kept me on the bike and riding with my friends.
When did you commit to FMX full-time?
2004 was my first full year. I did Marc Burnett's tour that year as well as some IFMA's. I was having so much fun riding again, and it was exactly what I needed.
You did a lot of the freestyle half time shows when you raced arena cross. Did you ever think that you could make a living doing tricks back then?
I never once thought that. I did the weakest tricks during arena cross. The guys who were riding contests were doing so much more gnarly things on a bike — I always figured freestyle would just be a hobby.
Is it just a natural instinct to flow like you do, or do you have to work at it?
I'm not sure what it is. I think as a kid I was just such a student of the sport. I would watch McGrath and Matiasevich and just do anything they do, whether it's the way they jump or how they wore their gear. I was seriously a nerd when it came to moto! I look back now and attribute a lot of what I do on a bike to studying moto as a kid.
Can you describe what's going through your mind when you're doing those huge floater tricks like holy mans, rock solids?
The only thing going through my mind is that I want to do this trick bigger and better than anyone. I don't have much to brag about anymore when it comes to FMX tricks, so the stuff I do I make sure it looks decent.
Chris TedescoPerfect extension at last year's Salt Lake City Dew Tour stop.
What is your favorite trick to do?
Call me a weirdo but I really like old school Shaolins!
Is there a want in you to make your tricks look really good or is it just you wanting to execute all the steps of a trick perfectly that contribute to you making them look really good?
Yeah, all my tricks that I do, I want to be perfect. To this day I still practice double grabs just to make sure that my legs are as high as they can get. I know it doesn't seem like I'm motivated, but the fact is I'm just scared of some flip tricks. Still, that doesn't mean I don't still ride a lot and critique every aspect of what I do.
Is there one thing you can contribute to your style?
Jeremy McGrath circa 1993. That's all you need to know!

Who Knows? Here's to Life and Love!
It's tough to describe yourself when we all have so many different sides that touch each person in a different way. And it's difficult to say exactly what I'm looking for when it truly is a special, unpredictable connection. As was written in a Supreme Court case about pornography, "I know it when I see it." I'd say the same about a great relationship and connection, I know it when I feel it (and she feels it too). It's about respect, shared values, great communication and that magical chemistry. Anyway, here's a little bit about me. I'd describe myself as an intelligent, athletic, genuine person who values honesty, kindness and good communication. I am very close to my family and friends, and I make an effort to spend time with the people I care about. I'm dependable and compassionate, and I'm good at making people feel better about themselves. I'm outgoing and expressive, but I'm also introspective and thoughtful and a great listener. I am open minded and liberal, and I love to learn and explore. I have been fortunate to have a great education, but smart enough to know this does not define who I am. I'm ambitious in that I started and run my own company, yet wise enough to structure my job so that I have plenty of free time to relax, enjoy life and take long walks with my dog. I enjoy a lively discussion on any topic from current events and politics to movies, sports or the best place for unagi or kung pao chicken. I love doing anything outdoors feeling a special connection with nature. I also like movies, exercise/working out, cooking/eating with friends, photography, and doing just about anything with someone special. I am looking for someone who makes me laugh, smile, think and simply feel good when I'm with her. I can't tell you exactly what that looks like. But she will come with an ability to communicate well and share some common values with me. I'm looking for a bright, open minded, generous woman who loves her work but puts people and relationships first. Like me, she loves to learn and explore -- whether that's traveling to other cultures, reading or watching movies, thinking about the world from different perspectives, or delving deeper into understanding herself. I value women who are comfortable expressing their beliefs, particularly when they differ from my own. I'm truly looking for love and happily every after, and know it's out there. Let's just meet and see what happens.

The company makes the event. I can have a great time doing absolutely anything with someone wonderful whether it's going away for a 3-day weekend or spending all night hanging out and talking.
Anything outside -- hikes in the woods, walks along the beach or sitting under the stars. I try to hike/walk or play tennis most days, watching movies (anything good), taking pictures (a new hobby) and spending time with friends and my dog.

NASHVILLE, TN - NOVEMBER 01: Chris Johnson #28 of the Tennessee Titans looks on against the Jacksonville Jaguars during their game at LP Field on November 1, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Take one look at the roster of the Tennessee Titans and a few things jump out at you. The first eye opener is the lack of big name players across the board. Of course there are names that are recognizable like Matt Hasselbeck, Chris Johnson, and Kenny Britt. Looking at the rest of the roster, however, seems to be a who's who of journeymen and untested young players. Despite the fact that Tennessee is not full of big names, they just missed out on the playoffs last year, being eliminated in a tie breaker on the last day of the regular season This could truly be a rebuilding year for the team, which is why second year quarterback Jake Locker is in a great position to become the golden boy of the franchise. Locker is currently in a battle with veteran Matt Hasselbeck, but the much older Hasselbeck is on his last legs in the NFL. With a lack of experience on the offensive line and very few weapons at the specialty positions the Titans should begin grooming Locker now. It is a comm...

A 2009 science fiction / action film directed by Neill Blomkamp.< read all 38 reviews
This movie is about a race of aliens that are stuck on earth because their ship is broken. The government sees them as a threat and separates them from the population in a concentration camp known as District 9. When i first saw the promo for this movie I was not to enthused about going to see it. But when I finally sat down to watch it, and the credits rolled at the end, I was unexpectedly pleased. Although the movie drags on at some points, the plot was very creative and not too played out. The action sequences were decent. And another pleasent surprise, you feel an amount of empathy for the aliens towards the end. It certainly wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but everyone should definitely see it.

Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Against this backdrop is a more personal story about a bureaucrat named Wikus (Sharlto Copley) who is accidentally exposed to a DNA-altering substance. As he begins metamorphosing into one of the creatures, Wikus goes on the run from scientists who want to harvest his evolving, new parts and aliens who see him as a threat. When he pairs up with an extraterrestrial secretly planning an escape from Earth, however, what should be a fascinating relationship story becomes a series of firefights and explosions. Nuance is lost to numbing violence, and the more interesting potential of the film is obscured. Yet, for a while District 9 is a ...

Ironies in Obama's U.N. Address

You have to have countries in the region who support this (campaign against ISIS). It can't be a west against this group (ISIS), it has to be other countries and especially countries from that region," says Jill Dougherty.

is there a way to NOT pop your cherry your first time?
Question Posted Tuesday August 28 2012, 1:00 am
I am a girl and I want to have sex for my first time. I am going to do it on Friday so please hurry! I want to have sex with this guy, but I'm afraid of the popping my cherry part. Is there any way that I can not pop my cherry when I do it? Thanks!:)
Answer this question
Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Virginity?
answered Sunday October 14 2012, 4:06 pm:
Every girl is afraid or at least a little nervous to lose their virginity and have sex for the first time because of the pain factor, consequences that can occur and in general: the unknown. If you really don't feel comfortable with having sex with this guy, and it's not just nerves, don't do it. Wait. There's no harm in waiting and being 100% positive that this is what you want to do.. Nt some "in the heat of the moment" type of thing.
But t answer your question, unless only the tip if his penis enters you, and not his whole penis (which wouldn't be really considered sex, or at least not full blown sex) then it won't pop. However, your cherry will pop eventually from the sex, and depending on how long and big he is... Will result in how fast or slow it will take for it to pop. And this is assuming that your cherry hasn't been popped by using a tampon or horseback riding or something like that.
Good luck and be safe ! no glove, no love, xxo.

answered Tuesday August 28 2012, 11:28 am:
NO, once a penis enters a vagina your Chery, Hyman, will pop,tear, if it has not already been torn by some other activity. You will also no longer be a virgin as once a penis penetrates a vagina by definition virginity is lost.
Just for informational purposes a great deal of the pain, if there is pain, is caused by the penetration and not the tearing of the Hyman. The reasons are the stretching of the vagina to accommodate the penis, lack of lubrication and muscle clamping from the fear of pain.
I suggest before you take this step you explore the following website. I found this site and have recommended it to many young ladies like you who have written us who are thinking or planning to have sex for the first time. It is titled are you ready for sex and will answer many questions you may have.

Very Scarce, Low Production Issue
The 1878-CC is a very scarce mintmarked half, and scarce for the same reason as the 1878-S: Passage of the Bland-Allison Act diverted the Mint's attention to the production of silver dollars rather than subsidiary coinage. This is a slightly circulated example that has original deep blue-gray toning overall and a slight undertone of reddish patina. A few field marks are scattered over each side, but none are singularly remarkable.(Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 24KP, PCGS# 6359)

Service and Handling Description: Coins & Currency (view shipping information)
Sales Tax information | PCGS Guarantee of Grade and Authenticity | Terms and Conditions
The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Domenico Berardi joins Sassuolo after deal agreed with Juventus
Juventus have confirmed that Italy under-21 forward Domenico Berardi has committed his future to Sassuolo.
The two clubs co-owned the 20-year-old striker and had been due to agree on a permanent transfer between them.
It had been widely expected that Berardi would join the Bianconeri -- but he has instead opted for Sassuolo.

|1⁄2 Ounce (Fresh)
|Warm water
|1⁄2 Pint
|All purpose flour
|12 Ounce (Strong Plain)
|1 Teaspoon
|Wholemeal flour
|4 Ounce (Whole Wheat)
|Fresh rosemary
|4 Teaspoon, chopped
Cream the yeast with 2 tablespoons (3 T) of the water.
Sift the plain flour and salt together into a warmed bowl.
Stir in the wholemeal flour and 3 teaspoons of the rosemary.
Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast liquid and the remaining water.
Gradually draw the flours into the liquid and continue mixing until all the ingredients are well blended and the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for 5 minutes to form a smooth, elastic ball.
Place in a clean bowl, cover with a sheet of oiled polythene (plastic) and set aside for 1 1/2-2 hours in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 minutes.
Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 1 lb.
loaf tin.
Put the tin into an oiled polythene (plastic) bag and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until the dough has risen to the top of the tin.
Sprinkle with the remaining rosemary.
Bake in the centre of a hot oven, 475°F, Gas Mark 9 for 15 minutes.
Lower the temperature to moderately hot, 375°F, Gas Mark 5 and bake for a further 25 minutes.
Turn the loaf out of the tin and tap the base with the knuckles.
If it sounds hollow, the loaf is cooked, if not, place upside down on a baking sheet.
Return to the oven, lower the temperature to moderate, 325°F, Gas Mark 3 and bake for a further 5-10 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.

Aswan, Egypt
UNESCO City of Crafts and Folk Art
The city of Aswan, Egypt was appointed as UNESCO's first City of Crafts and Folk Art on the 1st of September 2005.
Known as Swno (the market) in the times of the Pharaohs, the city of Aswan has preserved a unique heritage in folk art while evolving into a contemporary hub of exquisite craftwork, arts education, creative exchange and civil engagement. Aswan brings together the Northern and Southern part of the Nile Valley with a unique tradition of Nubian art that is considered an outcome of Egyptian and Sudanese cultures.
Inviting artists from all over the world, Aswan hosts the International Symposium for Sculpture in order to revive the art of sculpture from the time of the Pharoahs.
