AMD's Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Reviewedby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 31, 2010 12:01 AM EST

The first time I laid eyes on this card I was visiting AMD's headquarters in Sunnyvale before the Radeon HD 5800 series launch event. I could take photos of the 6 displays it was driving, but not the card itself. So we'll start off with a picture of the things that set the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition card apart from its 3-display counterpart.
The most obvious changes are the display outputs. While your standard 5870 has two DL-DVI, one DisplayPort and one HDMI output, the Eyefinity 6 Edition has six mini Display Port connectors.
You can further convert two of those DP outputs into any combination of DVI, HDMI (only one can be HDMI) and VGA. The remaining four connectors must remain Display Port due to the limited number of timing sources on the 5870. The card will come with two mini DP to DP adapters, 2 passive mini DP to SL-DVI dongles and one passive mini DP to HDMI dongle.
Clock speeds have not changed. The GPU still runs at 850MHz core and the memory runs at a 1.2GHz clock speed (4.8GHz data rate). Memory size did change however, the Eyefinity 6 Edition card ships with 2GB of GDDR5 to accommodate the resolutions this thing will be driving. As 256MB GDDR5 is still not available for mass production (and won't be until later this year), AMD is using 16 x 128MB GDDR5 chips in 16-bit mode.

As a result of the added memory, power consumption has also gone up slightly. The Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition now requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin PCIe power connector instead of the two 6-pin connectors of the stock 5870:
The extra memory and five adapters that you get in the box do come at a price. The Radeon HD 5870 E6 Edition is expected to retail for $479. That's $100 more than the MSRP of the 5870 but only $59 more than its actual street price. It remains to be seen what the street price of the 5870 E6 will end up being given that TSMC 40nm production is still limited with improved but not yet perfect yields. These cards should be available immediately.
Update 4/1/2010: Launch prices appear to have missed their target. We're seeing the 5870E6 sold out at $499, and in-stock elsewhere at $549. This puts it at an $80 premium over the reference 1GB 5870.
Setting Up Six Displays
Getting three displays lined up and perfect is enough trouble, setting up six is beyond frustrating. Ahead of its visit to me in NC, AMD shipped down six Dell P2210H 1080p displays and a pair of stands from Atdec. One stand supports four monitors, while the other supports two.
AMD had been flying around the country setting these Eyefinity 6 systems up for reviewers and thus had a bit of experience in doing this. I yielded to their expertise, which recommended putting double sided foam mounting tape along the edges of the monitors. We did so on the first four displays:
Meanwhile, we assembled the mount for the four displays. While this might sound simple, it's not. You have to figure out the right distance each display will be from one another as well as the right height. Adjusting these variables is easier said than done. Each display mount has two opposite facing hex screws that must be loosened and tightened by the same amount. There's one adjustable mount per arm that holds two displays, and then one mount per display. Oh and each of the four display mounts is on a ball that can be loosened and adjusted to make sure the displays are all square with the user.
Each one of these variables must be adjusted independently. Incorrectly positioning even one of these mounts will prevent your Eyefinity 6 setup from looking flawless (and at this point, you should just conceded that it is going to be flawed).
At this point AMD recommended sticking the four panels together before mounting them to the arms:
By sticking them together first, it would make the mounting process a bit easier...at least that was the hope. Next we mounted these four displays to the first stand and assembled it:
And we have 2/3 of our Eyefinity 6 setup complete:
Er...so maybe it's sort of slanted, and has a handful of gaps in between the panels. The sticky tape did help, but it's not magical sticky tape. According to AMD, this was one of their better achievements on the trip and believe me when I say that this wasn't rushed. Setting up a cohesive group of six displays takes a great deal of patience and precision. If you get frustrated easily, you may want to just buy a projector instead to fulfill your large gaming needs.
With four setup, it was on to the next two.
Completing the Eyefinity 6 Build
Just when we thought we were good to go with the first four panels, we heard a loud snap and a whole lot of bad ensued. The tape we applied earlier made it look like the panels were happily resting against one another but in reality it was just barely holding together a contraption that did not want to be contained any longer.
Apparently we hadn't adjusted all of the mounts properly and eventually the tape gave way (hence it not being magic sticky tape):
Here we have AMD's Chris Hook holding two panels together while I tighten the mounts to hopefully keep them in place. I believe I'm telling him a funny story at this point as well.
Setting up one of these Eyefinity 6 builds is definitely a two person job, and I wouldn't shy away from having a third join in. It definitely helped us.
Luckily Atdec's two display stand was much easier to assemble. You just adjust the vertical position of the arms that will hold your two displays, and with that done just clamp them into place. We lined up the two remaining displays to our slanty 4 monitor setup and things started to come together:
The whole process took a couple of hours. It would've taken more if we cared about trying to get all of the bezels to line up perfectly. If you've got a friend (or ten) who have great attention to detail and are extremely patient with assembling things, invite them over to help setup your $1500 Eyefinity 6 display (you should probably bake them a cake).
The finished product definitely had issues. The tape didn't keep the panels together forever. I will say that the gaps between the bezels didn't bother me that much, although the combined thickness of two bezels was annoying when actually using the system.
The Crosshair Problem
With my wall of panels constructed it was time to plug them all in and begin the easy part. At POST and while starting Windows, only two of the panels actually display anything. Installing the driver and going through the Eyefinity setup process is the same as for a lesser number of displays. I will say that driver interactions involving creating/manipulating the six displays are sluggish. You just get the feeling that there's a lot going on under the hood. I've included a video below that shows a complete driver setup of a 6 display Eyefinity system so you can see for yourself. Pay attention to how long it takes for each display to activate at some points during the install.
With the software configured I had a single large display that appeared to Windows as a 5760 x 2160 monitor. And here is where I ran into my first problem using an Eyefinity 6 setup. Dialog boxes normally appear in the middle of your display, which in my case was at the joining of two monitor bezels. Here's an example of a dialog box appearing on an Eyefinity 6 setup without bezel correction:
Note how the dialog box is actually stretched across both panels. It's even worse in games, but luckily as of Catalyst 10.3 AMD has enabled bezel correction in the driver to avoid the stretching problem. While bezel correction makes things look more correct in games, it does cause a problem for anything appearing behind the bezel:
Half the time I didn't even notice when a little window had popped up asking me to do something because it was hidden by my bezels. This happens a lot during software installs where the installer is asking you a question while you're off paying attention to something else on one of your 6 displays.
In my previous coverage on Eyefinity I mentioned that the thickness of the bezels wasn't an issue for gaming. In a three display setup I still stand by that. However with six monitors, particularly because of this occluded center point problem, bezel thickness is a major issue.
It's an even bigger issue in certain games, particularly first person shooters because there's usually a crosshair in the middle of your screen. Take a look at what aiming in Battlefield Bad Company 2 looks like with an Eyefinity 6 setup:
Somewhere behind that bezel is an enemy on a vehicle. You simply can't play an FPS seriously on an E6 setup, you have to guess at where you're aiming if you're shooting at anything directly ahead of you. Here's another example in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat:
Eyefinity 6 was just not made for FPSes. The ideal setup for an FPS would actually be a 5x1 portrait mode, which is currently not supported in AMD's drivers. AMD is well aware of the limitation and is working on enabling 5x1 at some point in the future.
Racing, flight sims or other person titles are much better suited to this 6-display configuration. I recorded a video of our DiRT 2 benchmark as an example:
The experience in these sorts of games is much more immersive, although it is frustrating to only really be able to use a subsection of titles on such an expensive display setup. You may find that it's more affordable/immersive/useful to just take the resolution hit and get a good 720p or 1080p projector to hook up to your gaming PC instead.
The aspect ratio issues that are present with a 3x1 landscape setup aren't as prevalent in a 3x2 configuration. At 5760 x 2160 you're much closer to 16:9 than you would be at 5760 x 1080. Far more games stretch well to this resolution, although there's still a lack of good compatibility with the majority of games out there.
AMD claims it is working with developers on enabling proper FOV and aspect ratio adjustments for Eyefinity setups, but it's not always easy. AMD is also working on alternatives to deal with the crosshair problem - for example by making the games aware of bezel correction and shifting the position of the crosshair for Eyefinity users. The AMD Display Library SDK update includes resources for developers to use when developing for Eyefinity platforms.
Given the secrecy surrounding Eyefinity's creation it's not surprising that most developers haven't had the opportunity to include support for it in current titles. Going forward we should see more native support however. Some developers are viewing technologies like Eyefinity as a way of differentiating and promoting PC versions of console titles to help boost sales.
More Games & Productivity
Seating distance is also an issue when you're working with such a large display. A single 30" monitor takes some adjusting for most people, but a wall of six 22" panels really requires a set of wireless input devices. I found that sliding my chair back a few feet from the screen and using a wireless Xbox 360 controller made the whole experience a lot better.
Unfortunately not all games work well with controllers, in which case you'd probably need a wireless keyboard/mouse. Either way, plan on being further away from your desk than you are now.
AMD's present solution to the crosshair problem is to create multiple display groups. For example, you could create two 3 x 1 groups and simply use one for gaming and use both when you're working. If you do the sort of work that requires a lot of real estate spread out over a physically large distance then this can work.
When you factor in the cost of stands we're still looking at around $1500 - $1700 for a 5760 x 1080 display, which is cheaper than a pair of 30" monitors. Personally I'd prefer the latter but they do cost another $1000 more than what we're talking about here.
2GB vs. 1GB: Does it Matter?
AMD equipped the Eyefinity Edition cards with 2GB of GDDR5 to deal with the increased memory requirements that come with pushing 2x the pixels of a standard 5870. But does the added memory improve performance in single-monitor scenarios?
We ran through our standard GPU test suite (the same suite from the GTX 480 review) with our Eyefinity 6 Edition card and found that there's no performance advantage to having a 2GB frame buffer at 2560 x 1600 or below.
Performance did improve in our Crysis Warhead benchmark, but only in minimum frame rate. There we saw a 40% improvement in minimum frame rates at 2560 x 1600, but not often enough to really increase the average. The rest of our benchmarks don't produce repeatable enough minimum frame rates for us to draw any meaningful conclusions.
For single monitor users, I'm not sure that the 2GB frame buffer is worth it for today's games.
Triple Display Performance
In its initial press presentations on the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition, AMD argued that the larger frame buffer would come in handy with triple-display configurations. To test this theory I ran through our suite with three 1080p displays running at a combined resolution of 5760 x 1080.
For most games I had to disable AA at this resolution. It's simply too much for a single card to drive. Even at high detail settings, I saw no real advantage to the 2GB 5870 E6.
Six Display Performance
With six mini DisplayPort outputs, it's clear that one thing really matters with the Radeon HD 5870 E6 Edition: how well it performs when connected to six monitors. To answer that question I ran the same titles I did on the previous page, but at a 5760 x 2160 resolution with both single and dual 5870 E6 configurations.
Depending on the title, a single 5870 E6 can range from being too slow to more than enough. For the most part I'd recommend two 5870s to drive 6 displays. You can make do with only one but then you'll be sacrificing pixel quality for pixel count, a tradeoff you don't really have to make with two cards. Even Battlefield Bad Company 2 is playable at high quality settings with two 5870s.
Power Consumption
AMD did list a slight increase in power consumption for the 5870 Eyefinity 6 cards. In real world usage it amounts to a 6 - 7W increase in power consumption at idle and under load. Hardly anything to be too concerned about.
It's worth mentioning that these power numbers were obtained in a benchmark that showed no real advantage to the extra 1GB of frame buffer. It is possible that under a more memory intensive workload (say for example, driving 6 displays) the 5870 E6 would draw much more power than a hypothetical 6-display 1GB 5870.
|Power Consumption Comparison
|Total System Power
Radeon HD 5870 1GB
Radeon HD 5870 E6 2GB
|Load (Crysis Warhead)
If you are power conscious however, then an Eyefinity 6 setup may not be right for you. Our six 22" Dell displays consumed 114W of power by themselves while playing Crysis. That's the power consumption of an entire Core i5 system under load, just for your displays!
Final Words
I spoke with Carrell Killebrew a few days ago (no, not for the RV970 story) and our conversation drifted over to future applications for GPUs. When Carrell first introduced me to Eyefinity he told me that this was the first step towards enabling a Holodeck-like environment in about 6 years.
Carrell envisions a world where when you want to watch a football game with your friends, or just hang out and play video games you'll do so in a virtual room inside of your home. You'll have a display occupying the majority if not all of your vision. Being displayed will be fully rendered, lifelike models of your friends, which you can interact with in real time. After all, sending model data requires far less bandwidth than exchanging high resolution encoded video between a dozen people in a room.
Sound will have to be calculated on a per person basis. Existing surround sound setups work well for a single user, but not for multiple people spread out all over a virtual room. The GPU will not only have the task of rendering the characters in the room, but also calculating the phase and position accurate sound for everyone.
Today we play games like Rockband or Guitar Hero facing a screen. In Carrell's world, 6 years from now we'll be facing a crowd of fans and it'll look, feel and sound like we're on stage performing. There's a lot that has to be solved between now and then, but in Carrell's eyes this is the beginning. And like most beginnings, this one has its rough patches.
The good news is that a single Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition card can drive a total of six displays. That's something that we couldn't have imagined from a consumer card even just a couple of years ago. If you've ever found yourself wanting 6 monitors for a particular application, workload or even game - this is your solution.
As a general gaming card however, there are definite issues. In existing titles, with 3 or fewer screens, we just didn't see a tremendous performance advantage to the 5870 E6. The larger frame buffer did help raise minimum frame rates, but not enough to positively impact the average frame rates in our tests. Even in triple display setups we didn't see any reason to get the E6 card.
If you are looking to make the jump to six displays however, the issues then stop being with the card itself and are more about what you want to do with the setup. Having two 3x1 groups makes sense. It's a bit pricey, but it makes sense if you like mixing work and pleasure on your desktop. The single 3x2 group is the problematic configuration. For games you play in the third person, it's great. For first person shooters however, playing on an Eyefinity 6 setup puts you at a disadvantage due to crosshair problem. What AMD really needs to do here is enable a 5x1 configuration for folks serious about FPSes.
The bigger problem is simply the state of game support for Eyefinity. The majority of titles, even new ones coming out today, often ship with gross incompatibilities with Eyefinity setups. AMD is hard at work to make this better, but it means that you can't plop down $1500 for six monitors and two stands, drop another $900 on a pair of video cards and have it work perfectly in everything you'd ever want to play. It's a tough pill to swallow.
If you want to have an immersive gaming experience and if you've got the wall space you're better off buying a 720p projector, building a screen (or painting one on the wall) and calling it a day. On the other hand, of you just need more desktop resolution then a 30" monitor is probably in your future. If you must combine the two needs and have them serviced by a single setup, that's where Eyefinity 6 can offer some value.

Where in the movie does he use water jutsu? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:52, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
- Hiruko used Storm Release, which is all but blatantly stated to be formed using Lightning and Water natured chakra in the manga. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:58, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
Isn't that jutsu he used in the start of the movie Dark Release: Inhaling Maw??? He makes it with Rat, Hare and a special seal. --Rubião April 24, 2010 (UTC)
- If you look closely, he was using his left hand to pull down the bandages temporarily to inhale the chakra, as you can slightly see the ines stemming from his mouth. --GoDai (talk) 21:05, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I think I'm getting blind because of my Mangekyou overuse XD! When did you saw this happening??? Can you tell me the right time by here? http://www.gogoanime.com/naruto-shippuuden-movie-3-inheritors-of-the-will-of-fire. Thanks --Rubião April 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Forget it, I saw it already XD... but tell me, was that the Inhaling Maw??? He didn't use only the left hand, that's why I'm asking... --Rubião April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Girl or a boy?
Isn't Hiruko a girl xD? From the start i thought he's a girl but in his page it says that he is a boy.--Znake2 (talk) 15:05, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
Prove?--Znake2 (talk) 15:38, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
- Lack of feminine traits? At the very most, he's a not-so-ambiguously-gendered version of Haku. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:45, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
Uhhh..Sakura doesn't have them either . And Hiruko's voice is of a woman.--Znake2 (talk) 16:08, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
In the movie, in the flashback he says "Many years ago in Konohagakure, there was a man named Hiruko" and he describes himself as a shinobi, not a kunoichi. --GoDai (talk) 22:27, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
Hiruko is also a male name, and his seiyuu is a man. FF-Suzaku (talk) 23:11, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
I have no plans to watch this movie, so I have no idea if File:Child hiruko.png or File:Hiruko realybody.png would be useful. Delete them? Don't delete them? ~SnapperTo 02:50, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
Wind Release
The infobox says that Hiruko can use Wind Release. When did he used, in failed attempt to absorb and use Rasenshuriken?--Erik1310 (talk) 12:23, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Hiruko failed to combine the shape and nature transformation, he was still able to perform the nature manipulation required for the technique. You can see the wind chakra when the technique falls apart, the blade/spark like chakra. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:15, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
Kekkei genkai ninja
Ok, if you check just before the eclipse happens (01:09:33), you can see that the guy under the green light, with the sun glasses and the cheek tattoos, he has a Kirigakure headband. The short hair ninja has a Kumogakure flak-jacket, so the guy with the big hair is likely to be from Iwakagure, if you go by the pouch, meaning the woman is from Sunagakure. It kinda throws a wrench in the current listing, because the window/color doesn't seam to match the nation they come from. Wind and Water countries seem to be swapped. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:38, August 3, 2010 (UTC) I see what your talking about...good movie though--Black-Light (talk) 04:58, June 12, 2011 (UTC)Black-Light
Final Fight
Guys before the ritual that hiruko planed he had a fight with naruto sakura sai and shikamaru where he used all 4 kekkei genkai but he is supposed to have taken the four kekkei genkai during the ritual which was a little bit later.So how did hiruko used them before the ritual? —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
He explains it when we first see the captured ninja. His technique alone isn't enough to fully absorb the kekkei genkai, meaning he had already used it to integrate them to his body, but not fully, so there was still stuff for him to do. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:52, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
Do you think it's better to change his name to "Hiruko (movie)"? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me) 14:00, April 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Why bother? He's not likely to be linked in more articles, and unless a more canon missing-nin called Hiruko shows up, this would only mean unnecessary moving and link-updating. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:40, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
what can he summon?
was just wondering he is listed as having the summoning jutsu but nothing is listed as something he can summon Faustfan (talk) 12:23, August 6, 2012 (UTC) (forgot to add the signature)
he summoned his subordinates ichi ni and san who were at the time merged together into a huge chimera.220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:29, August 6, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan

These Bottles are a God -Send! Review by Jenna
Quality Price Value
These little bottles are a God-send. Perfect for pumping and storing milk, very resilient, and easy to clean with a bottle brush. Size is great, shape is comfortable to hold, and the lids don't leak when put together properly. They also fit nicely staggered (kind of like they are in the pic) in my freezer door, which is great for storage! (Posted on 8/5/2013)
Durable and No spills Review by Nichole
Quality Price Value
I use these every day with my Ameda pump. They close tight, no spills. The plastic is durable and the bottles hold a total of 5 oz (if you fill it up to the top). They top of the bottle is standard size so I can use it with with nipples that are of different manufacturers. I've tried Gerber and Dr. Brown's and they both screw in perfectly. (Posted on 8/5/2013)

Laws are created to keep the peace and ensure members of a community/society are treated fairly and are kept safe. Rules are slightly more flexible than laws, though they embody the same general elements. Armageddon Online has both laws (re: sins) and rules associated with her forums, most of the rules expanding from our laws. The overall concept behind developing these laws and rules is to ensure we provide as pleasant an experience possible for all visitors and members, not to censor anyone or to control the flow of information.
The following will result in receiving infractions and/or lead to permanent banishment from our community. Infractions handed out from this list carry the most weight.
(1) Denial of Service (D.O.S.) et al: Orchestrating forum raids or repeatedly hammering a part of the site in hopes to cause slowdowns or interrupt service to members. This is classified as hacking and prosecutable under United States federal lawand we will prosecute.
(2) Pornography: We adhere to the COPPA standards and do not allow children under the age of 13 to register without parental consent. That being said, because some of our members may be as young as 13, and we do not have the necessary licensing to display pornographic images, any submission of pornography to our site is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate banishment. To be clear, pornography is defined as the explicit depiction of sexual acts through imagery.
(3) Trolling: Posting ridiculous, nonsensical, irrelevant, racial, disturbing comments, images or links out of context, or simply posting to stir up a ruckus will be met with infractions and/or banishment. This means no threads asking if a member is a troll or whether they should be banned. Report trolls to the moderators, don't make threads about them. That action in itself is classified as trolling. Such threads will be promptly deleted.
(4) Hate Messages: Posting derogatory comments based on religion, race/nationality, sexual identity, or disability is forbidden. We do not tolerate racism or hate messages. Take it somewhere else.
(5) Harassment: Harassing or threatening a member openly or in private messages will lead to permanent banishment from the AO forums. This also includes sexual harassment.
(6) Privacy Violation: Never post private information about another member, evereven if consent is given. (Let that member post on their own.) This includes phone numbers, addresses, place of employment, Facebook pages, and even IP addresses. If you don't own it, it's best you don't post it.
(7) Multiple Member Accounts: Registering with a second member account is forbidden without prior consent from an administrator. Moderators cannot green-light a second account under any circumstance. Many create a new account simply to have a different display nameask an administrator if you would like to change your username/display name, but do not create a second account. If you are caught having two accounts, both will be banned.
Infractions from this list hold less weight than those of the Sins, though these rules are equally enforced.
Spam: Defined as unsolicited advertising to a large number of people, spamming our forums will quickly lead to banishment. Do not post links in threads (or within your signature) leading to obvious endorsements or advertisements of consumer goods or services. All posts (including signatures) consisting of such content will be edited or deleted, and repetition of such acts can result in membership banning. If any member is unsure if their post/publication could be classified as spam it is best to consult with a moderator or administrator prior to posting such content.
Do not start a thread or reply only leaving a link and no comments. If you wish others to visit a website that reinforces your point, please make sure that you make some comments of your own instead of just letting the link speak for you. Even if you quote the source from which you are using as a topic, this is still classified as spam [and a violation of copyright laws].
Please do not quote spam or reply to spam threads, as those threads will be deleted along with any posts made within. If spam is posted in the middle of a thread and you quote the spam, the spammer post along with yours will be deleted. Also, please only report one post/thread of spam made by a user, not every one you find by that same account. Excess reports slow down the moderation process. Once you report a spammer, the mods will find the other posts and promptly remove them.
Copyright Violation(s): Armageddon Online respects the original works by authors inside and outside of her community. Do not post/quote entire articles written by outside sources. Posting a paragraph or synopsis of an article in reference to a thread created and then adding a link to the source is perfectly reasonable; but posting the entire article violates international copyright laws. Posts violating such laws will be completely removed. Be smart about what is posted. If you don't own it, don't post it in full.
This rule also applies to posting links to warez sites and/or detailed discussions about how to pirate software, audio or video. Any threads describing how to pirate anything will be deleted and the member initiating the thread will be promptly banned.
Inappropriate Antagonization: Creating a thread or post deliberately meant to antagonize or belittle another member is prohibited and will be met with infractions. Repeat offenses will lead to banishment from the forums. That means no flame wars.
Remember, tear down an argument and not the person making it. Don't post calling someone an idiot or an asshole. Debate in an adult and professional manner. Blatant name-calling and pernicious antagonization can and will lead to getting tossed.
Thread Hijacking/Derailing: Hijacking is when someone purposefully posts content unrelated to the topic at hand in an attempt to derail a thread. We understand that discussions are dynamic and will naturally evolve, sometimes even diverting slightly from the topic. If this is within context of the discussion there is no issue, but starting a flame war within a thread on subjects unrelated to the topic at hand is classified as derailing, and offenders will be infracted. Stay on topic as best as reasonably possible; if you have to deviate drastically, it's best you start your own thread with the different topic, linking back to the original thread if you like.
Excessive Profanity: Cursing is one thing, but excessive profanity can become offensive. Never use profanity in a thread title or in your signature. Moderators won't edit the thread or signature, they will delete it, and you will receive an infraction. Excessive use of words like cunt and fuck in a single post is both immature and subjectively offensive, and you can receive an infraction for excessive profanity. We're not saying you can't curse, just don't go overboard. If you wouldn't say it to your granny, it's best you don't say it here.
Ignoring Minimum Character Limit: We have a minimum character limit for a reason, and that's to encourage members to contribute more to a post than a few periods or a smiley face. If you have nothing to contribute that's fine, but don't attempt to bypass the character limit just to get your post count up. Violators will be infracted and those posts will be deleted. The more often people do this the more frequent we have to update our counters, something we prefer not to do. Bypassing the minimum post count will not only affect you, it inadvertently can punish others if we have to update the counters because of your greed. This is not a chatroom, nor MySpace, nor Facebook. Offer at least a complete sentence in a reply.

I do hate to beat a dead horse — or a live one, for that matter — but there was a shooting today at Lone Star College, a community college near Houston.
That's in Texas, in case you didn't catch the "Lone Star" bit.
This wasn't your typical "crazy guy with an AR-15 walks onto campus and starts shooting" kind of shooting. This was two idiots getting into some kind of idiotic argument and at least one of them deciding shooting was the best way to resolve it. One bystander, a school maintenance man, was wounded, as well as one of the arguers. Another person apparently had a heart attack.
Nevertheless, Rep. Ted, Poe, RWNJ-Texas, immediately hit the airwaves to explain how "defenseless" the poor students at LSC were and how students should be allowed to carry concealed weapons so they can defend themselves.
But apparently, that's exactly what happened.
Reports now indicate that at least one of the two idiots arguing was a student, and at least one was illegally carrying an concealed weapon. By Rep. Poe's reasoning, if other students had been carrying concealed weapons … well, I don't know. If more students had been carrying concealed weapons and started shooting, I'd guess more people would have been hit, maybe even killed. But that's just a guess, y'know. Has no basis whatsoever in reality and is probably just a bunch of fallacious reasoning to boot. Because it's certainly not logical to think that if two idiots arguing equals three wounded people, then, say, four people shooting at each other might equal six wounded people. And how many wounded people before you get one dead? Two dead?
Of course, maybe ole Ted is right. Say there was only one guy with a gun, and the guy he started shooting at was a student. But the student didn't have a gun, so he got shot, along with the maintenance man, who also didn't have a gun, while the shooter ran off into the woods, where he was later found by police.
If only that student and the maintenance guy had had guns! Then it woulda been the OK Corral all over again … well, maybe not. Some of those guys were law enforcement, hired to back the businessmen of Tombstone, Arizona, against the Evil Rancher Cowboys and … oh, never mind. That's more than 100 years ago. The only reason I brought it up at all is that those nine guys who'd been feuding with each other for a very long time back in 1881 fired about 30 shots in about 30 seconds, and in the end three were dead, and three were wounded. Of course, they were all shooting at each other, and in a narrow lot between a couple of buildings (not the OK Corral at all), which probably prevented any bystanders from being hit.
These guys at Lone Star College were out in an open courtyard.
My point, and I do have one, is just this: Think it through, people. We don't live in Deadwood. We don't live in the Tombstone of the 19th Century. There's a reason they called it the Wild West. And the Earps and Clantons didn't have AR-15s.
Once upon a time, in a whole 'nother life, I owned a gun and frankly wasn't a bad shot. But I've grown up some since then, and my owning a gun just isn't something I want for myself or for anyone who comes in contact with me.
But in case you've not heard me say it before, I don't favor banning guns. I favor humanity willingly putting down the damn things because we finally understand that killing people is a bad thing to do, whatever the reason. And no, I'm not some whacked out idealist who actually expects this to happen anytime soon — but it will, eventually, provided we don't blow up the planet first.
There are no good reasons, however, to block some kind of regulation. If you want to own a gun, you do not need to own an AR-15 or armor-piercing bullets unless you plan to kill people wearing armor, and if you plan to do that, I'd suggest psychiatric help. Oh, and NRA, children in elementary schools aren't usually wearing Kevlar, although I suppose that is something you think would be a good idea.
And one more thing. Some folks like to blame violent video games for the crazy people who go out shooting other poeple, but I think they've got it backwards. It's the whackos who think that arming everybody on the planet will end gun violence are the ones inspired by video games. Think about that one for while, until I find another dead horse, possibly in the OK Corral.

What can Black communities expect from him over the next four years? By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
History repeated itself Tuesday as Barack Obama won reelection as U.S. president, making him only the first Black man to twice win the presidency in this country's history. "It has been a fairly harsh campaign," noted local Republican activist Carleton Crawford, who added that both President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney "have done a particularly good job of presenting their side, primarily based on issues. I think the [three] debates have been substantive… They [gave] people a chance to actually analyze…the perspective and the intention of the candidates."
Crawford says that President Obama "is going to have a decent mandate" from the American electorate. Throughout his first term, the president was oft-criticized that he didn't speak out or didn't put specific issues affecting the Black community on the front burner. Continue Reading →

Former Cubs lefty Rich Hill signs with Indians
In a very Cub-like move, the Indians have signed former Cub Rich Hill to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. Hill underwent Tommy John surgery in June of 2011.
Boston, however, deserves credit for saving Hill's once promising career as a starter. The Red Sox lowered his arm angle and transitioned him to a full-time reliever in 2010. *(Hill did pitch some relief innings at Triple-A with St. Louis, but never reached the majors)
During the past three seasons, all with Boston, Hill is (2-0, 1.14 ERA) in 40 games–including 25 games last season after recovering from TJS.
Despite a solid season with the Cubs in 2007, in which Hill made 32 starts, pitched 195.0 innings and won 11 games, he lost the confidence of Sweet Lou the following season by walking 18 batters in 19.2 innings of his first five starts. The Cubs subsequently optioned Hill to Triple-A Iowa, where he finished out the '08 season, and his career with the Cubs.
Baltimore took a flyer by purchasing Hill from Chicago in Feb. 2009. But the southpaw pitched even worse with the Orioles, winning just three games in 13 starts while posting a 7.80 ERA. Then Boston came calling, made a few alterations and wound up with a decent bullpen arm.
It's a bit surprising Boston let the 32-year-old go, which could now prove a big steal for Cleveland, if, in fact, Hill has fully recovered from his elbow injury. And that's exactly what the Cubs are hoping for with recent Tommy John Club members Scott Baker, Arodys Vizcaino and Chang-yong Lim.

(b) The head of an executive agency may provide services prescribed by the President under this section to a State or local government when—

|42:4222(words before proviso).
In the section, the words "executive agency" are substituted for "Federal department or agency" and "department or agency of the executive branch of the Federal Government" because of the definition in sections 102 and 6501(3) of the revised title.
In subsection (a), the source provisions are consolidated to eliminate an unnecessary definition. The word "President" is substituted for "Director of the Office of Management and Budget" in 42:4222(proviso, words after proviso) because sections 101 and 102(a) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (eff. July 1, 1970, 84 Stat. 2085) designated the Bureau of the Budget as the Office of Management and Budget and transferred all functions of the Bureau to the President. The words "rules and regulations" are omitted as unnecessary.
In subsection (b), the word "may" is substituted for "is authorized within his discretion" for clarity and to omit unnecessary words. The words "specialized or technical services" are omitted because of consolidation of the source provisions. The words "direct or indirect" are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (c), the word "Payment" is substituted for "moneys" for consistency in the section. The words "All" and "or any bureau or other administrative division thereof" are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (d), the words "and does not supersede" are omitted as unnecessary. The words "authority under another law in effect on October 16, 1968" are substituted for "authority now possessed" for clarity. The words "by any Federal department or agency with respect to furnishing services, whether on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis, to State and local units of government" are omitted as unnecessary.

The Karin Intruder is a car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. It is a mid-sized 4-door sedan. In the HD era, the Intruder bears the Karin brand-name. After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Intruder fetching about $2,500 in mint condition.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Intruder's design resembles a early 1990s Subaru Legacy with the taillights similar to those of a 1982–1986 Toyota Camry (and the rear wheel arches are also similar).
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Intruder, manufactured by Karin, is given a much more sportier higher class design, although the overall performance of the vehicle remains the same. The Intruder resembles the 2002-2006 Infiniti Q45 but the rear seems based off a 1996 or 1997 Infiniti I30. It also has a few design elements from a pre-2011 Jaguar XF (headlights). Also, the Intruder has no reverse lights.
The Intruder returns in GTA V, but it's appearance hasn't changed from GTA IV.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the car's acceleration and speed are highly lacking, despite the intimidating growl of its engine (likely at least a V6, judging by the size of the engine compartment). Being rear-drive helps, but the dismal torque is barely enough to climb a steep hill. Handling and braking are surprisingly agile, and seem wasted on the weak engine. The Output HP for the Intruder is 113HP stock and 85kW. Top speed for the Intruder is 190KPH ( 118MPH ).
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Intruder makes a return, this time with a 4.3L V8 powering the rear wheels and a five-speed automatic gearbox. Despite the rather sizeable engine, the Intruder is by no means a performance car; it takes over nine seconds to reach 60mph and has a top speed of about 155mph (250km/h).
In GTA IV, there is a special variant model of the Intruder driven by the Triads. Badged as the Intruder VX, changes include a special candy red paint job, a bodykit with side skirts and custom front bumper, as well as a yellow Chinese knotting (or more specifically a "Kin Tsuna") attached to the rear mirror that denotes the car's association with the Triads. The visual modifications of this variant are based on the Junction Produce Infiniti Q45 bodykit.
Similarly, a uniquely dark blue Intruder may be obtainable when it is requested by Stevie. It is located in Rotterdam Hill on Asparagus Avenue near the Liberty City Transport Authority building. The car constantly respawns in the same spot until it is delivered to S&M Auto Sales, so the car may be taken and stored at a safehouse before another is sent to S&M Auto Sales.
In some side missions, you can acquire a beige Intruder VX without a spoiler and Chinese knotting.
Modifications (GTA San Andreas)
- It can only be modified in TransFender coming with these options:
- Color
- Hood
- Vents
- Exhausts
- Lights
- Nitro (all)
- Roof
- Spoilers
- Side Skirts
- Wheels
- Car Stereo

text: Lucas: USDA Did Not Ask for Flexibility March 14, 2013 11:02 AM Tweet In an exclusive interview with AgriTalk Radio's Mike Adams, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas criticized USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack for never asking for flexibility in administering cuts under budget sequestration. Lucas also voiced optimism for passing a farm bill in 2013 and said he has assurances that a farm bill will come to the floor, for what those assurances are worth. Back to news

It's so close – we can practically will ourselves to smell that spring air. And along with the warm weather comes an exciting season of outdoor activities. By day, you're a (seriously stylish) fitness inspiration as you spike balls, make putts, and run until your legs feel like jelly. And come nighttime? Here's to hitting every roof-deck soiree, patio party, and midnight snack frenzy, guilt-free.
Hit the pavement: Sure, in these athletic-minded capris you look like you know what you're doing, but after a long winter of running on the treadmill, it's a bit of a shock to head outside again. Use these simple tricks to get right back into the swing, then pump up that playlist and see what you can do.
Warm up that swing: There are few things greater than getting onto the fairways for the first game of the season, between the fresh-grass smell and the comfortable grip of your very own clubs. So make sure your big debut is as stylish as your handicap is low with bright colors and an always-required collar.
Master your serve: The glamorous side of tennis? Just take a look at the traditional gear. Flattering A-line skirts and cute, fitted tops – what's not to love? Aside from the fashionable perks, it's also a competitive and exciting sport – so don your favorite uniform (just keep the sleeves long until it warms up) and hit the courts.
Our PUMA Women's and Men's Boutiques open Saturday, March 2, at 11AM ET.

Do you feel anxious about the idea of getting tested for sexually transmitted infections and diseases? Some of our readers certainly do.
Some never had adequate sex-education and did not realize that sexual activity with a partner -- and not just anal or vaginal intercourse -- can pose STI risks in the first place. Some are not sure where to go for testing or how to ask for it. Others feel uncomfortable discussing STIs with a partner or potential partner. We get it: this stuff can be hard, and it is usually not the kind of thing where someone just takes us by the hand and leads us through.
This is why we're doing this series at Scarleteen. In it, some of our volunteers share their own stories of how they deal with different aspects of STI testing and reproductive healthcare.
I was going to be taking my STI test with a friend today, with the idea we would both get tested and I could've written in the style of a comedy bromance movie like "Dude. Where's My Car?"Read more...

Anterior vaginal wall repair is surgery that tightens the front (anterior) wall of the vagina.
A/P repair; Vaginal wall repair; Anterior and/or posterior vaginal wall repair; Colporrhaphy - repair of vaginal wall; Cystocele repair
This procedure may be done while you are under general or spinal anesthesia. Under general anesthesia, you will be asleep and unable to feel pain. With spinal anesthesia, you will be awake, but you will be numb from the waist down and you will not feel pain.
You will be given medicines to help you relax.
In most cases, a surgical cut is made through the front wall of your vagina.
Sometimes, your doctor will also make a surgical cut in your belly. This cut may be up and down or across.
This procedure is used to repair sinking of the vaginal wall (prolapse) or bulging that occurs when the bladder or urethra sink into the vagina.
Symptoms of prolapse include:
This surgery by itself does not treat stress incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or lift). It may be performed along with other surgeries.
Before doing this surgery, your health care provider may have you learn pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel exercises), use estrogen cream in your vagina, or try a device called a pessary in your vagina to hold up the prolapse.
Risks for this surgery are:
Always tell your health care provider or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You may have a catheter to drain urine for 1 or 2 days after surgery.
You will be on a liquid diet right after surgery. When your normal bowel function returns, you can return to your regular diet.
This surgery will very often repair the prolapse and the symptoms will go away. This improvement will often last for years.

How much is a million? How big is a billion?
Danita Brandt, Michigan State University
We constructed a geologic timeline along a 5K road-race route across the MSU campus at a scale of 1 meter = 1 million years, using signage to mark important events in the history of life. In addition to over 1500 race participants, numerous casual observers were exposed to the timeline. This project works well in the classroom at a scale of 1 mm = 1 million years, and as a manageable one-day outdoor sidewalk chalk activity at a scale of 1" = 1 million years. Timelines drawn to scale lead the observer to the inescapable conclusions that "simple" life appeared early in Earth history; that it took the bulk of Earth history to achieve the next, multi-cellular stage of development; and that once the metazoan threshold was crossed, subsequent biological diversification-and the resulting fossil record-followed in rapid succession.

David Charles, 21, was arrested Dec. 16 after investigators were tipped off by a San Diego man who became suspicious about six jars of brain tissue he'd bought on eBay for $600.
Charles faces theft and other charges. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
Marion County court documents allege Charles broke into the Indiana Medical History Museum several times over the past year and stole jars of preserved human tissues, including brain samples, from long-dead psychiatric patients.
The museum is on the grounds of a former state psychiatric hospital, Central State Hospital, which closed in 1994. The museum's director said the tissues are from autopsies spanning from roughly the 1890s to the 1940s.
"A museum's mission is to hold these materials as cultural and scientific objects in the public interest. To have that disturbed—to have that broken—is extraordinarily disturbing to those of us in the museum field," the museum's executive director, Mary Ellen Hennessey Nottage, told The Indianapolis Star (http://indy.st/1bBgS2u ).
Indianapolis police had investigated several break-ins at the museum's storage facility before the San Diego man helped lead police to Charles.
Indianapolis police detectives traced the transactions and eventually spoke to the seller. Police said that seller had obtained the brain matter from Charles.
Charles was arrested during a police sting after the eBay middleman arranged a meeting in a parking lot. Court documents state that the day before his arrest, Charles had stolen 60 jars of human tissue from the museum.
Nottage, who said she's grateful much of the stolen material has been returned. She also said she spoke to the San Diego man who bought the six jars.
"He just said he liked to collect odd things," she told The Star.

Alex Redmond says he doesn't have any favorites but when you dig a little bit deeper it sounds like two schools are in good shape. One of those schools is Washington so what have the Huskies done to impress him?For Redmond, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound tackle from Los Alamitos (Calif.), academics are very important. That's a major reason the Huskies are in great shape."I'm very interested in Washington," Redmond said this week. "They have a very good business school and that's what I want to get into."Plus there are only two teams in the Pac-12 that have won national championships and they're one of them."In spite of his interest Redmond says he has never visited Washington. That will change this summer when he plans on making it up to Seattle to check the school and surrounding area out.He said the last time he spoke to a coach from Washington was a couple of weeks back so the school has stayed in good contact with him.Washington, Arizona State, Boston College, Washington State, Colorado and San Diego State have all offered the California tackle. He claims no favorites but notes that two schools have impressed him."I don't have any favorites but some schools have impressed me a little more than others," he noted. "Washington has a great business school and a great team and Boston College has a great business school and a bunch of linemen in the NFL. But I'm still open to everyone."Redmond said he also plans to visit Boston College, Arizona State and Colorado this summer. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Diarylide Yellow is a semi-opaque, moderately staining, intense deep reddish yellow pigment with good tinting strength.
Diarylide Yellow 83 has very good lightfastness and permanence. However, it can fade in tints, so some artists do not consider it suitable as an artists' color. Many other diarylide yellow pigments are reported to have fair to poor lightfastness, and some are completely fugitive. Diarylide Yellow 83 is reputed to be one of the most permanent of the entire group.
Diarylide Yellow has no significant acute hazards, but chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Diarylide Yellow comes from a family of azo pigments called Diarylide. These yellow hued pigments were developed around 1940 and are very important in printing inks.

The court sits just above the pool, and was carefully designed to be regulation size for those that play it seriously. It has good quality golf grass and even its own irrigation system. Both games involve balls that are slightly larger than an adult fist but Bocce has you throw the ball, whereas croquet involves a mallet. All equipment is available for rental down in the Lodge office, as well as a short version of the rules. Official rules are also available if you choose to follow them.
