Fish Oil Lowers Cortisol and Body Fat Levels
Cortisol is a vital hormone thats key to regulating blood sugar and inflammation and standing up to acute stresses such as fear, injury, and extreme exertion.
Chronically low cortisol levels
a condition known as Addisons disease
were fatal before this hormone was discovered.
But chronically high cortisol levels
which can result from continual stress
is the more common problem, and
produces several undesirable outcomes
Thinning of the skin.
Decreased muscle mass.
Weakened immunity to infections.
Reduced bone formation, increased risk of osteoporosis.
Damage to the brains hippocampus and losses to learning and memory.
Chronically high cortisol levels kill brain cells (neurons) which is the chief reason for the brain shrinkage seen in patients suffering from Alzheimers and other forms of senility.
A few years ago, UCLA research in patients with mild cognitive impairment found that those who had a smaller-than-average hippocampus were more likely to develop full-blown dementia (Apostolova LG et al. 2006).
Cortisol levels rise rapidly in young people placed under stress, but fall back to normal within a few hours after the source of stress is removed.
In contrast, cortisol levels remain high for days in older people, even after the source of stress is gone.
Blood cortisol levels increase with age, and someone aged 65 will have higher average blood levels of cortisol compared with a 25-year-old.
Some anti-aging researchers call cortisol the death hormone, because it is associated with old age and disease.
Black tea is shown to rapidly normalize cortisol levels after stress, while euphoric experiences
including music, massage, sexual intercourse, and laughing
can lower and stabilize cortisol levels (see
Black Tea May Confer Memory-Saving, Anti-Stress Benefits
Some studies indicate that fish oils moderate levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and/or the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which is a key player in the bodys flight or fight response to stress.
Five years ago, a small, controlled clinical trial provided the first evidence that fish oil supplements may actually make people feel less stressed (see
Eat Seafood to Ease Stress?
Fish oil has also been found to improve body composition in preliminary clinical studies an outcome attributed to various physiological effects of omega-3s.
Omega-3s Linked to Healthier Weight and Body Composition
Now, the outcomes of two small, controlled clinical trials support the hypothesis that omega-3s possess cortisol-lowering and body-fat-reducing powers.
Gettysburg trial finds improved body composition and cuts in cortisol
Researchers at Pennsylvanias Gettysburg College recruited 44 adults for a six-week trial designed to test the effects of safflower oil and fish oil on peoples body composition, metabolic rate, and cortisol levels.
The volunteers were divided in two groups, and each took a daily oil supplement:
Safflower oil
four grams, mostly omega-6 fatty acids
Fish oil
four grams, including 2,400 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (1,600 mg EPA + 800 mg DHA).
In tests performed
at the end of the six-week study, members of the fish oil group showed significantly lower cortisol levels
In addition,
the fish oil group shed body fat and gained lean muscle.
There was also a tendency for lower cortisol levels in the fish oil group
as well as a significant correlation between cuts in cortisol and gains in muscle mass that is, the less cortisol people in the fish oil group had, the more muscle they gained.
As the authors wrote,
[six] weeks of supplementation with FO [fish oil] significantly increased lean mass and decreased fat mass. These changes were significantly correlated with a reduction in salivary cortisol
(Noreen EE et al. 2010).
Interestingly, while the results showed beneficial changes in body composition among the fish oil group, there was no difference in total body weight between the safflower and fish oil groups.
Nor were there any rises in resting metabolic rate
which would indicate increased calorie-burning
in either group.
Anglo-Iranian team reports that fish oil lowered cortisol
This study comes from the Anglo-Iranian collaboration that found omega-3 EPA equal to the anti-depressant drug fluoxetine (Prozac) among patients diagnosed with major depression and that combining them provided results superior to either alone (Jazayeri S et al. 2008; see
Omega-3s Affirmed as Mood Lighteners
For their new study, they analyzed blood taken from the 42 patients whod participated in the prior eight-week trial of EPA and fluoxetine, both before the trial began and after it ended.
The new analysis of the participants blood showed that
cortisol levels dropped in both the omega-3 EPA group and the group that took both EPA and fluoxetine (Prozac)
Some scientists hypothesize that omega-3s might exert anti-depression effects in part by lowering levels of certain pro-inflammatory immune-system proteins (cytokines) associated with depression (IL-1beta and IL-6).
But the volunteers showed no changes in their blood levels of either chemical.
This led the Iranian team to an intriguing conclusion: These findings suggest that
EPA may exert its therapeutic [anti-depression] effects through reduction of cortisol
These studies provide good reasons to favor fishy diets a lighter mood, a healthier body compositions, and healthier aging overall.

Ms. Anita is from the municipality of El Sauce and works in the capacity of professor in which she has many years of experience. With this activity she has been able to acquire appliances for her home and make gradual improvements to her living quarters.
As a responsible mother to her daughters she tries to give them her best, in terms of affection and wellbeing at home with all the appropriate facilities.
She has been working with Ceprodel for two years where she has been given six loans for purchasing appliances in order to improve her living quarters and pay university costs for her daughter. So she is grateful to this institution since, thanks to it, she has what today is her humble home with the necessary furnishings, and without which she would not have been able to acquire it since with her low salary and costs she has just enough to cover household essentials which is the main thing.
One of her greatest dreams is to have her daughter educated to be a professional so she may be a good doctor in the future, and so she is seeking money to cover all the costs of the University so that there may be no obstacle in the future to her daughter finishing her studies.

La señora Anita es originaria del municipio de El Sauce, labora como profesora donde tiene muchos años de experiencia en este oficio, actividad que le ha permitido adquirir electrodomésticos para el hogar e ir mejorando su vivienda poco a poco.
Como madre responsable de sus hijas trata de darles lo mejor de sí en cariño y bienestar en el hogar con todas sus condiciones adecuadas.
Tiene dos años de trabajar con ceprodel donde le han otorgado seis créditos para comprar electrodomésticos, para mejora de vivienda y para pagar la universidad de su hija, razón por la cual agradece a esta Institución ya que gracias a ella tiene lo que hoy es su humilde hogar con el mobiliario necesario y que sin ello no hubiera podido adquirir esto porque con su bajo salario con costo alcanza para la canasta básica que es lo principal en un hogar.
Uno de sus mayores sueños es preparar a su hija como profesional para que sea un buen médico en el futuro por lo cual está solicitando para pagar todos los gastos universitarios y no tener ningún obstáculo en el futuro para que su hija culmine su carrera.

Cor, the Silver Soap™ is a convenient, single-step process that cleanses and works effectively to achieve wonderful results for your facial skin. The particles of Cor soap's active ingredients, including silver, sericin, collagen and chitosan, are dramatically reduced in size, reaching deep below the surface, killing bacteria, minimizing wrinkles, moisturizing and feeding vital nutrients to the skin. This one product clears up the skin, removes makeup, evens out the skin tone, fades sun spots, maintains the skin's natural moisture factor, replenishes lost collagen and has UV protection.
With Cor you simply lather up, wait a few minutes and the job's done. Foam... rinse... glow...™
Cor is suitable for every skin type. Cor's mild pH level of 7.2 means it's just as effective on troubled acne skin as it is on the most delicate and sensitive skin.
Travel size also available.
I have always struggled with problem skin - adult acne, large pores, blackheads, etc. My skin is sensitive, so harsh treatments only make my problems worse. I used many expensive washes that either do not clean my skin very well or clean it so well that my skin turns scaly. This soap does not sting, leaves your skin soft, and cleans it like no other product that I have used. My pores and wrinkles appear smaller; my blackheads are clearing and I have no breakouts - a record for me. No scaly skin, and I haven't had to use my prescription acne gel. Yes, it's expensive, but you only need to handle it a little bit for a lot of lather. I remove my makeup with a facial oil, and this soap removes the oily residue with the first pass - but does not dry my skin. I will never use anything else. So glad I tried this!
I have been using for over 4 years and the best facial cleanser out there.
Going through the reviews, I almost did not buy this product due to a couple of negative reviews, SO.. glad I did! I've tried so many and not that some weren't good but this is truely the best. I bought the $15 size and while I can't afford the full size, I'd buy the small one. I've waited 3wks before doing this review. After first night, skin felt smooth and I thought great, but I'll wait a few more days before judging it and honestly, my skin is the best it has ever been. Better than when I'd use AHA products or Vit C or anything else. Using cheapish moisturiser at the moment but skin is just in great condition, no breakouts (I normally get the occassional ones) this soap seem to have solve that problem but mostly just so impressed at how smooth my skin feels. One thing that might help my fellow skincare lovers, I didn't read the instruction for the first few nights (cos I thought how hard it is to use soap) so I used it as I would a normal cleanser but didn't leave it on as per instruction so never felt any tightening or tingling feelings at all at first, then once I read the instruction I left it on for 3mins and yes I did get that tingly sensation however, my skin still respond well to it and now back to using it as I would a normal cleanser (wash and rise). Just perfect, can't rave on enough about it!
Start by producing enough foam to apply to your skin. Lightly massage in your hands for 30 seconds until a nice foam has been worked up and then apply foam to your face and leave on for one to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. You will start to see results after about a week of use.
You may feel a slight tingling sensation while the foam is on your face or find that your skin becomes a little dry during the first days of use. Don't worry, this is normal. Simply reduce the length of time that the foam is left on your face until your skin adjusts to the soap.
Storage of Cor Silver Soap:
Due to the active natural ingredients in Cor, the soap bar can break down when in contact with moisture in the air. Do not leave your Cor bar uncovered in the shower or on a washstand, as the bar can melt. Wrap in plastic wrap or store in an enclosed soap dish. This is especially important in humid climates.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

Comedy is born of joy and sorrow, elation and frustration, light and dark. So is Angry Beavers, an all-out comedy cartoon series about two beavers out on their own with only their severely limited wits to get them through.
Think Martin and Lewis (both of which are referenced in the series, including "The Day the Clown Cried"). Daggett is the high-strung, thin-skinned, impulsive maniac; Norbert is the self-important, narcissistic, not-as-smart-as-he-thinks older brother. They bicker almost constantly but there is a clear bond between them. But unlike "Laverne and Shirley," there's no couch-sitting moment where the two reflect on their adventure. Dag and Norb never seem to reflect much at all.
There are no typical "Angry Beavers" formulas, except that the stories usually explode in chaos by the end, like one-reel comedies of the silver screen. However, there are some episodes that are character driven (Norb and Dag's personality issues result is wacky hijinks); sly sendups of film and TV shows and genres (like "The Cat in the Hat" or "Starsky and Hutch"); and total fantasies that teeter between funny ("ha-ha"), funny ("yipes") or sometimes funny ("ewwww").
The newly released DVD contains 62 episodes with two cartoons each (the single exception is the spectacular full episode, ""The Day the World Got Really Screwed Up"). The set looks pretty good (though it was probably finished on videotape and, like many shows of its day, has some picture "buzz"). There are no bonus features at all, so in lieu of that, I asked one of the show's five directors, Gary Conrad (now working on "The Fairly OddParents") to comment on a few shows on which he worked with the creative team.GREG: How were you selected to direct episodes of "Angry Beavers?"
GARY CONRAD: I was one of three directors who worked on the series. At the start of each season, a production schedule was worked out for a rotation of each of the three directors to handle every third show. Three directors were required because of the production overlap necessary to complete a new episode to air each week.
GREG: How did you get assigned to "The Loogie Hawk?" Did they say, "Hey, let's give the loogie one to Gary?"GARY: (laughs) Now that you mention it, I'd be honored if that were how it came about! Actually, we had three directors: Rob Hughes, Patty Shinagawa and me, during my tenure, in addition to others before and after my involvement. The schedule called for each of us to handle every third show. "The Loogie Hawk" was just the luck of the draw for me…and I got a big kick out of working on it.
GREG: This is the one about the bird that deposits viscous pink loogie gack all over everything and the beavers' efforts to stop him.
GARY: "The Loogie Hawk" was a great example of the unique and often outlandish humor that distinguished the Beavers. It's one of the things I loved about the series. Let's face it—a bird that deposits loogie gack isn't something you'd see in just ANY show
GREG: By far, the most spectacular episode you worked on is called "The Legend of Kid Friendly." This one is downright disturbing. It would have scared me if I watched it as a kid.
GARY: It scares me a little just thinking about it now!
GREG: That said, it's a "pure cartoon" because it makes its own rules. Nothing is really explained. It just happens.GARY: We had a great team of writers, and I loved how the series often veered into the surreal and absurd. The very funny Keith Kaczorek wrote that particular episode. If my memory serves, I think it was inspired by the title character's name—"kid friendly' being network-speak for making cartoons that are appropriate for a young audience…
GREG: "The Legend of Kid Friendly" is a spoof of westerns, but it also reminds me not of The Joker, but of a B-movie called "Mr. Sardonicus" about a disfigured man with a face frozen in a horrific smile. In the "Angry Beavers" case, Kid Friendly is a big, toothy Humpty Dumpty who can make someone literally smile to death! Creepy but very funny is that "you had to be there" way.GARY: I love how the humor in the series could straddle that line. It started with the scripts, which were always funny. The actors gave great vocal performances, the storyboard artists added business and gags and then Mitch would punch up the boards even more .The designers brought style and a great look. Each production was plussed all the way down the line.
GREG: The black and white moments, the title credits and the scratchy film effects in this episode are cool, too. But how did they get Waylon Jennings to sing the ballad?
GARY: I don't know how Waylon Jennings got involved but it was quite a coup! The show always reflected Mitch Schauer's imagination and great sensibility, so I suspect he had a hand in making that happen.
GREG: I love the cow chorus partly because it shows that minimal animation is sometimes just as funny as full animation.
GARY: So true. Often less is more.
GREG: If you're a classic pop music buff, the music is wildly eclectic. Many of the background melodies, including the theme, are tributes to Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. A few episodes feature lots of music, including "Sang 'Em High." This is the episode in which Laverta Lutz, the Lady of the Pond, grants Daggett his wish of winning arguments with his older brother, Norbert. Under her spell, any argument would be ended "when the fat beaver sings." The catch is that Dag "hulks out" into a giant, singing beaver with voices that sound like Dean Martin, Hank Williams and, the topper, Eydie Gorme singing "I Am No Stupid Poopy Beaver."
GARY: Thanks, Greg! I'm sorry to say I didn't really do that one. It was Patty Shinagawa's show and she did most of the work on it—then for some reason, I don't recall why—it was given to me to finish. It was fun to work on and I thought it turned out great, but I felt bad that I was erroneously given sole credit for it. (I'm happy now to set the record straight!) One fun thing I recall about that episode was the return of Laverta, who had appeared in a previous season. Occasionally if a funny new character was introduced, they would be brought back for a return appearance in a later episode or episodes—Dag's friend "Stump" comes to mind.
GREG: Dag's transformations in "Sang 'Em High" remind me a little of "The Greedy" in Richard Williams' "Raggedy Ann & Andy" feature. Did you need new model sheets of his new appearance.
GARY: Dag's transformations did require new model sheets. We had a fantastic team of designers on "Angry Beavers." They had a lot of fun with stuff like that and it shows throughout the series.
GREG: I'm always curious about how animation, especially the comedy shtick, can retain its important timing when you're sending it overseas. Is it a matter of being thorough in the materials you send?GARY: We were lucky to have a terrific overseas studio, Rough Draft, handling the animation for "Angry Beavers." Shipping the animation work to an overseas studio does require meticulous planning on this end. The storyboards were very thorough, all the props, characters, backgrounds were designed here, the colors were chosen and the animation timed and planned to the frame. Everyone tried to be as clear as possible and provide as much information as possible for our overseas team. It's the way almost all TV animation is done, and sometimes it does feel scary shipping the work thousands of miles away, but we were lucky to have a great overseas crew and thankfully the results were always stellar. Every episode is the result of a great group of talent here and abroad. There's no way that I can claim to do these shows alone.
GREG: In other words, it takes a dam, (Sorry.)
Has your Angry Beavers experience resurfaced in your subsequent projects?GARY: I've always loved funny and character-driven shows like "Angry Beavers." Over the years, I've been lucky to work on a variety of shows on which the stories and humor spring from the ensemble of characters: TUFF Puppy, Robot & Monster, El Tigre and The Fairly OddParents, to name a few.
GREG:How are things going on "The Fairly OddParents
?"GARY: We're nearing the end of our ninth season, and the new episodes are super funny. We have a great crew and it's still a blast to work on the show after all these years. I'm very happy our audience still enjoys watching "The Fairly OddParents" - and for the whole series of "Angry Beavers" to be available for fans like me and people who may have never seen it before.

Lemmings User Reviews
The Classics Never Die, And Neither Do LemmingsThe good:
~Addictive gameplay, though simple, will keep you trying to beat the current level.
~Witty, sarcastic comments are entertaining to read and lighten the situation after a loss.
~The lemmings are fairly cute, meaning you'll try harder to save them from death.
~There are a variety of obstacles that must be avoided, including lava pits, spikes, deep pits and even gallows.
~The audio has some catchy (though unsophisticated) songs that set the mood.
~You are able to adjust your difficulty level, and each level has its own layouts.
~The game in no way can stand up to computer games of today, and shows its age badly.
~The levels can start to get repetitive.
~There is no way to skip levels of get hints on beating it.
In 1991, a most unique and strange game appeared on store shelves. It was called Lemmings, and featured little gnome-like creatures with spiky, bright-green hair and blue robes. What was it about? Well, if you've ever heard of the myth that lemmings sometimes like to commit suicide by jumping off cliffs in large groups, you've got the main gist. Only, get this! In this game, you're attempting to save their lives buy employing a variety of techniques. It's the ultimate in simple-minded classic puzzle game fun - that is, if you can overlook its flaws.
As the game starts, you're set down ...
So CuteSummary:
The lovable Lemmings return for the PSP. The classic game where the aim is simple, guide mindless little Lemmings from the Levels entry point to the levels exit. Sounds simple but often it's anything but.
Without your guidance all they would do is keep walking in a straight line which would result in them mindlessly falling off cliffs, walking into traps, drowning in water or burning in lava pits.
You tell them what needs to be done to get pass these obstacles by using the L and R buttons to select a tool then clicking on a single Lemming. That Lemming will then do what is asked of him.
The t...
Unbelievably addictingThe good:
120 Levels
Some levels exclusive to this version of the game
The classic music
Some levels are mind numbingly hard
Used to be no walkthroughs for this version of the game online
This is the classic game that pretty much everyone has played at some point. What's unique about this version is the amount of levels it contains. You get the standard 4 difficulties with 30 levels each, but then 2 extra modes with 30 levels each there. Some of the extra levels are easy, some are hard but I'll cover that later.
For those that don't know, Lemmings has you guiding little green haired creatures to an exit by means of various abilities. They can climb, float down, block, self destruct, build a bridge, bash horizontally, mine diagonally or dig vertically. You only get a set numbe...

When & Where to Have the Party
Selecting a Day and Time for the Party
Choosing a Day
When selecting a day for the party, consider your child's age and the guest list.
- If you plan to invite your baby/toddler's playgroup, any weekday should work well. Just remember to avoid nap times!
- If you plan to invite your family (especially if they live out of town) and/or your child's friends from school, it's best to have the party on the weekend.
Also keep in mind that . . .
- busy holidays, like Christmas, are better avoided unless this is the only time you can get your family together.
- parents with older children may have conflicts with sports and other activities.
- many people go to church on Sunday mornings.
Choosing a Time
The time of day you choose to start your child's party depends on whether you want to serve a meal or just cake.
- If serving a meal, start the party between 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
- If you plan to just serve cake, have the party two hours before, or one hour after, traditional meal times (i.e. 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.).
You may want to set an ending time for the party, too, if you are inviting school-age children. That way, parents will know when to drop off and pick up their children. This is also helpful if you have a commitment later in the day.
Selecting a Location for the Party
Choosing a Location
If you want to throw a good old-fashioned "home" party but would rather do it somewhere other than your house, consider these locations:
- Amusement Park
- Aquarium
- Arcade
- Ballet Studio
- Baseball Field
- Beach
- Bowling Alley
- Children's Museum
- Community Center
- Farm
- Friend's Home
- Gymnastics Studio
- Hotel
- Miniature Golf Course
- Movie Theatre
- Nature Center
- Park
- Pool
- Restaurant
- Sports Center
- Tourist Train
- Theatre
- Zoo
When making your decision, keep the following in mind:
- Space Limitations
- Potential Bad Weather
- Safety Considerations
- Your Ability to Set Up and Clean Up
Filling Out the Invitations
Incorporating the Date, Time & Location into the Invitations
Whether they're handmade, created on your PC and printed at home, purchased as fill-in-the-blank, or custom-made and personalized, the invitations for your child's party should include the following:
- Your Child's Name
- Date & Time of the Party
- Party Location
- A Map or Directions, if Appropriate
- "RSVP," "Please Respond," or "Regrets Only"
- Response Date
- Contact Name
- Contact Phone Number
- Special Instructions (i.e. "No Gifts, Please.")
For additional tips on who to invite to the party, addressing invitation envelopes, and other invitation etiquette, check out our article on Children's Party Etiquette.

Your Arctic adventure begins with an overnight stay in Copenhagen at the Hilton Copenhagen Airport Hotel.
Today's charter flight will take you from Denmark to Greenland. When you land in Kangerlussuaq you'll be landing at Greenland's largest commercial airport, which was once a U.S. military base. You'll be transferred to the port and then take your first Zodiac ride out to your ship, the Sea Explorer. Embark and set sail for your upcoming Arctic small ship cruise.
Icy fjords, colorful communities and a historical UNESCO World Heritage Site await you on your Greenland trip. The first planned stop is Sisimiut, the second largest settlement in Greenland. Even so, this town has a small fishing village-feel with a great harbor for walking around and taking photos of the old, colorful buildings. You'll get to watch a demonstration of traditional kayaking before venturing further north to Ilulissat.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ilulissat is home to the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier one of the fastest and most active glaciers in the world. As well as some spectacular zodiac cruising, there is also a refreshing longer hike in Ilulissat.
Turning west, most of your day will be spent at sea. This will give you plenty of time to hang out on deck, searching for cetaceans or watching the seabirds glide along above the Arctic Ocean. This Arctic waterway, which separates Greenland and Baffin Island in Canada, is called the Davis Strait, named after the English explorer John Davis.
Before reaching Baffin Island, you'll head to the small island with a big name – Monumental Island. This is a well-known island for potential close encounters with some of the Arctic's most iconic creatures – walrus and polar bear. Settle in for a Zodiac ride around the island, in search of the world's only tusked pinnipeds and largest land carnivores!
Your Arctic cruise continues along the eastern edge of Baffin Island in an area called Ungava Bay. Your next landing is all about birds and bears. The word Akpat is the Inuit name for the thick-billed murre, or Brünnich's guillemot. These birds nest on the tall limestone cliffs found around the island. This is one of the largest colonies in the world and a favored spot for polar bears.
Stepping foot on Baffin Island at the tiny community of Kimmirut, you'll have a chance to see how people here still live a traditional Inuit lifestyle. This southern part of Baffin Island has an interesting mix of historical sites to visit or explore while hiking. This area was also once an important trading post, with the Hudson's Bay Company setting up here in 1911.
Many of the fewer than 500 Inuit who live here sustain themselves by selling impressive indigenous artwork and sculptures. Enjoy time wandering around the settlement, or purchase some Inuit art if something catches your eye.
This little hamlet is dubbed the "Capital of Inuit Art." Since the 1950's art has been the primary source of income for this small, local economy. You'll find plentiful Inuit carvings, lithographs, sculptures and drawings here. The settlement itself has an interesting history, dating back more than 3,000 years.
As your polar expedition heads into the second largest bay in the world, the focus turns back to wildlife watching. There are numerous landing site options in Hudson Bay, including Zodiac excursions around Walrus Island and shore excursions and hiking at Digges, Coats and Marble Islands.
The relatively shallow waters of Hudson Bay create a rich marine environment where you may spot a wide variety of animals. First the big cliffs at Digges Islands attract black guillemots and Iceland gulls. On the ground you may spot caribou and polar bears. Belvla whales are often seen around the ship. If time allows, lunch the zodiacs for a closer look. If you're anxious for more walrus encounters then Coats Island, and the aptly named Walrus Island, should provide the best opportunities for good viewing in this part of Hudson Bay.
Over at Coral Harbour, a small settlement of Inuit people live on the shores of Southampton Island. This area was home to one of the last Thule Inuit settlements in the Arctic, with Sallirmuit people living here until the 20th Century.
Get ready to get active by hiking on Marble Island. You'll gain a whole new perspective on life in the Arctic as this part of Hudson Bay has a lengthy list of expedition mysteries and tragic stories. Your Expedition Team will fill you in on why the island is nicknamed Deadman's Island.
Your final day in the Arctic will include a Zodiac excursion in search of beluga whales, which are often seen around the coastal areas here at Churchill, Manitoba. Say goodbye to the ship and crew before your flight and a final overnight in Toronto.

culling and editing to enhance your story
When I see a story unfolding in front of me I shoot first and ask questions later.
I let the story do its thing and decide afterwards (in Lightroom) which image packs the biggest narrative punch.
Lastly, I edit to emphasize the story.
For example, I recently went out to lunch with two of my people, Joe and Josie. As we sat ordering, whistling, and waiting for our burgers, my husband and daughter were, fortunately for me, bored. I love how they wear(…)

Since the inception of the iPad and iPhone, the modal nature of landscape and portrait applications has become pervasive. Apple simply dropped in an accelerometer and let developers have at it. But Microsoft has taken a different approach. According to the Windows 8 Blog, the team …
… spent a considerable number of hours studying people as they used tablet devices in our usability labs as well as in their own homes. We've watched people who were already familiar with tablets, and we've watched people new to these form factors get started, and we stayed in touch with them for months afterwards. We noted grip styles, body postures, hand movements, and interactions with a variety of apps, device placements, and orientations. We saw a wide spectrum of variability, and we listened to users identify the factors influencing their choices about body and device orientation.What tablets were they using? Presumably the Windows 8 developer tablet, or something similar, but I have a feeling Microsoft observed some iPad users as well, especially since they "watched people who were already familiar" with tablet computers.
So what did Microsoft discover? Landscape mode applications lend themselves well to the standard world of computing. We're familiar with the wide-screen world and how to take in that kind of information. It's helpful for multitasking, at-a-glance consumption and watching movies. But when it comes to taking in large amounts of information, Microsoft recommends using the portrait mode, which allows users to get more information on one page and scroll less.
But Microsoft has also promised it didn't take a preference over a single mode, and that Windows 8 should be "ergonomically conformable in all orientations." This seems to add to the "no compromise" approach Microsoft has been promising with Windows 8.
Microsoft Visual Studio 11 automatically offers developers a live preview of how their applications work both in landscape and portrait, with no extra tweaks needed. Then developers can make adjustments based on how they think the application should function. Microsoft is pushing this any-orientation goal for a few reasons, but the big one seems to be because of the variety of screen sizes available with Windows 8 tablets: the traditional 4:3, like the iPad; a traditional wide-screen desktop, at 16:10; and the all-important cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio. In fact, according to the Building Windows 8 blog, there will be a follow-up post that discusses the different aspect ratios and how to accommodate them.
So here's the big question: Will all this work pay off? Can Microsoft do the impossible and actually create a version of Windows that runs on all tablets of all resolutions, shapes and sizes? Or will Microsoft's ambitious plans fall short? Believe it or not, I'm rooting for Microsoft on this one. If successful, the Windows 8 Tablet could be its own category altogether.

Summary: "You collect us, don't you?"
Rating: PG-13, swearing, flashback sex, House/Cameron subtext
Author's Note: Major beta thanks to paradise_city. Title and sections, of course, from Jackie's Strength, which is a song about Cameron if ever there was one.
a Bouvier till her wedding day
The patient was twelve, blond and precocious, and reading The Hobbit. The same sentence, over and over.
But at last unexpectedly they found what they were seeking.
The patient's father sits at her bedside. That's what patients' fathers do. Patients' mothers. Patients' wives. Sit at the bedside, play cards, talk about nothing. Listen to the patient read The Hobbit. At last, unexpectedly.
The father looks up at Cameron as she smoothes the girl's too-short bangs back from her hot forehead. House sent Cameron here for a reason. She knows what to say when the father asks, "How long?"
"Long enough." Because that's what it is.
Her mother's wedding dress was a size too big, she carried a leather-bound Bible in lieu of flowers. For the recessional hymn, her cousin sang How Great Thou Art. They kissed at the back of the church. There was no photographer, just the memory of his hand, strong enough to press against the small of her back as they walked out under a clear blue sky.
Her normal, the father's normal: that every day you can handle a little more, that every day things become a little worse and you talk to yourself, like the old joke about the optimist's suicide. He jumped off a building and with every floor he passed he said, "So far, so good."
House throws the dry eraser across the room and knocks a cup of coffee off the table when Foreman contradicts him about the patient's fever. Chase looks at her and she realizes this is what's expected, that she go over and clean this up.
if you love enough, you'll lie a lot
Once, in med school, she tried to quit caffeine. On the third day, the headache felt like a hammer on her temples and she broke down, slugged a diet cola in one go. Stupid, to try to resist like that during exams, anyway.
She's making a fresh pot of coffee and House sits there, twirling his cane and looking at her. "You collect us, don't you."
The girl had been delirious an hour ago, and now her fingertips were blue with cold. Cameron had stood outside the room and watched as Wilson looked up from his examination, shook his head. And she saw, because she was watching for it, the way House's hand had tightened around his cane, but his voice had been steady when he dispatched Foreman and Chase to the lab.
"Hard luck cases." He's staring at her the way a disobediant child stares, just before he jumps on the couch you told him to stay off of. "Your last serious relationship was with a man dying of cancer. I'm a crippled old man with a cane. Either you have a martyr complex or you're just a masochist."
"You're the head of diagnostic medicine at one of the country's premier teaching hospitals," she replies, pouring water carefully. "You're hardly standing by the side of the highway holding a little sign that says, 'Will snark for food.'"
He gets up, paces to the other side of the room, stabbing the cane at the carpet as if the answers will arise in response to his poking and needling. "You're like a patroness of lost causes."
"That's me." She keeps her tone light, knows how to do this. On one level, anyway. "I'm a regular Joan of Arc."
"Saint Allison of the Suffering."
She shoves the coffee filter in and turns the grinder on, noting with some small satisfaction that its noise makes him wince. The acrid smell of the beans actually makes her mouth water. Not a good sign.
As the drip starts she looks at him, finally, shakes her head to clear it. "Baiting me isn't going to cure her."
He gets up and stalks out, the door swinging shut behind him.
so I turn myself inside out
But at last unexpectedly they found what they were seeking.
When the little girl dies House forbids them to take on any children for the next six months.
Foreman kicks a chair so hard it skids halfway across the room. She follows him out of the hospital and into the bar.
"I didn't know you smoked," she says, slipping into the seat next to him.
"I don't." He pulls on the cigarette. "I bummed this off the bartender."
"Want to get wasted and howl at the moon?"
He stares at her, that Foreman-stare he's good at, that coaxes people down off the stupid little ledges they strand themselves on with their secrets and lies. She has the feeling, sometimes, that he knows what they're all about and doesn't like the rest of them much.
Maybe it's to do with being black. She grew up in a rich white suburb, knows nothing about being the different, the other. She doesn't look at groups from the outside, or didn't, once upon a time.
He's not going to talk and so she does.
"I lost my virginity at 16," she says, ordering a strawberry margarita. Foreman's right eyebrow rises. "Billy Francis. He was 17 and had a this old beat-up Buick."
Foreman shakes his head, looks down. She wraps her hands around the icy glass when it arrives.
"We were making out. He'd parked the car in the lot at this abandoned factory." She tells him the story, about a group of young kids coming over to tag the car and surprising them in the middle, so that she could never look at Billy again without thinking of the kids' faces, or the way one of them, riding away on his bike, gave Billy a thumbs-up.
When they leave, they're both a little tipsy, and he's laughing. It's good, that he's laughing, that he doesn't notice she isn't.
she's still in recovery
On the fourth day after the girl's death he's still doing paperwork and chucking desk accessories at them when they venture too near him, and she calls Wilson.
They cross all sorts of boundaries around here, all the time. They lie to each other, to transplant committees and CEOs and to their patients and they lie to each other. They left the realm of appropriate workplace behavior in the dust ten miles back. They spend so much time together, that's part of it, spreads the contagion efficiently. Hospitals are full of diseases and they're all carriers.
She calls Wilson and he comes down and smiles at her before he walks into House's office. The lacrosse ball flies past Wilson's head and smacks into the wall, and then Wilson closes the blinds.
It's none of her business.
make me laugh, say you know what you want
She finds Chase looking over the girl's charts. Again.
"Blessed are the peacemakers," he says, but his tone is mocking, and she wonders that everyone seems to think their rage washes over her, recedes with the tide.
"Were you a middle child, by any chance?"
When she got here it couldn't have been more of a study in contrasts: House prickly and pushy and precise, Chase all laid-back cool; if he hadn't opened his mouth she'd have assumed California, and so pretty.
All the nurses fluttered over him. Fluttered the way they flutter over pretty people, too intimidated by the outside for real conversation. They've all adopted, to different extents, House's default method of communication, his black barely-humor. She thinks, I have got to spend some time with other people. People who don't sit up all night looking up eardrum infections on the Internet.
People who don't learn Portuguese just to torture their colleagues.
But at last unexpectedly they found what they were seeking.
He's staring at the charts and there's a pad of paper next to him with notes she couldn't read if he paid her; he's the rule about doctors' terrible handwriting. House's, while not fine, is legible. Chase's is chickens' scratching. Drunken chickens.
"Let it go, Robert."
"Shove it, Allison."
Here, at least, is someone she can put her arms around, someone who will lean in and not break away.

Where is the Radeon HD 2600 and 2400 review?
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 28, 2007 - 01:38 PM | Ryan Shrout
Don't worry, it's coming! At about 4am last night I decided it was better to get a few hours sleep than write something that you weren't going to be able to read....so give it a couple of hours and I'll have my full review of the new 2600 and 2400 cards from AMD online.
In the mean time, hang out in the PC Perspective Forum and chat with some other hardware fanatics!
nVIDIA's DX10 spread
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 27, 2007 - 09:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The 8000 series has been expanded to cover just about every price point, from under $100 to over $1000, and all are DX10 cards. Over at Tech-Hounds, the low to mid range 8600 GT and GTS are up for review with their older brother, the 7950GT for comparison as well as a X1950 Pro. It turns out that if raw speed is all you are interested in, maybe a lower priced DX10 card isn't what you are looking for.

The new mid-level performance battleground
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 18, 2007 - 05:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
At [H]ard|OCP, they compare the new HD 2900XT to the 320MB version of the 8800GTS and use it to exemplify the disappointment many people felt with the release of the new card from AMD. Although both cards performance falls mostly within the same speed, a certain card does pull ahead noticeably in some of the benchmarked games. Unfortunately, it is not the $400ish AMD card that pulls ahead, but rather the $250ish nVIDIA card.

The EVGA 8800 Ultra Superclocked has been pushed to a 650MHz core, and 1125MHz memory. It is a case of nVIDIA competing with it's self, so it's no surprise that nVIDIA still has the fastest card out there. If you are dying to be able to enable those last few settings like 16xQAA at huge resolutions, then the review at PureOverclock is right up your alley.
BFGTech strains the 8800 GTS's silicon
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 31, 2007 - 06:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS OC2 640 MB has it's memory speed pushed faster than the GTX, at 580MHz, and the clock speed is almost as good at 1.7GHz. [H]ard|OCP tried it out against it's big brother and foudn it to be running in a nice mid ground between a normally clocked GTS and the GTX. Even better, they found this to be the best overclock on a card from BFGTech, putting it in competition with the competitors factory overclocked cards.

Abbott extended its exclusive distribution deal for U.K. firm Biofortuna's SSPGo® range of freeze-dried HLA typing kits to include France, Spain, Portugal, and the Benelux countries. Abbott now effectively has exclusive global distribution rights to the SSPGo products, Verdict interpretation software, and future kit updates.
Biofortuna's HLA molecular diagnostic kit products are based on a freeze-dried technology that stabilizes the PCR reaction mix, including polymerase. The kits are stable at ambient temperature, and require only the addition of DNA to the predispensed PCR reaction mix. The freeze-dried manufacturing technology is separately being offered as a contract service for diagnostic companies.
Last month Biofortuna raised £2.1 million in an investment round with new and existing investors to support expansion of its manufacturing operations and fund the development of new products in areas including companion diagnostics, antibody screening, and disease identification.

Roger Clemens Unplugged, Part III
I asked an eclectic group of sports fans—from Vermont law professor/Sports Illustrated sports law columnist Mike McCann to former Balco owner Victor Conte for their take on Roger Clemens and the pitcher's place in history for the story I wrote on the Rocket breaking his silence. Here's what a handful of them had to say.
"I think the entire context has changed in the last couple of years. Clemens used to be thought of as a likely member among a few rotten apples in the baseball barrel. I believe many finally realized that most of the apples were likely rotten. It's really more about the entire drug culture that developed over the years in baseball and what led so many players to make the decision to use drugs. I've always said the owners and union executives should accept a significant portion of the responsibility for knowingly harboring and even promoting baseball's drug culture. Bud Selig seems to be of the opinion that baseball has effectively dealt with the problem. I simply disagree with him."
—Victor Conte, former owner of Balco, current owner of SNAC
As a longtime baseball watcher and much-diminished Clemens fan, I have to offer up front that I have zero time for Roger or any others who cheat to get an advantage over those who didn't. But I'm also deeply disgusted with the complicity of media people in the affair over the past decades—more so than even with the Bud Seligs and others who made a business decision to look away. That's their game. The reporters and broadcasters, the producers and editors are supposed to be watching out for everyone's interests and, flatly, did not. They/we failed most miserably."
—Denis Horgan, magazine writer and author. His latest book is Dawn of Days
The legal case against Clemens is not as clear-cut as it seems. Perjury is more than merely "lying"—it's knowingly lying. If the grand jury doesn't believe Clemens knowingly lied before Congress, he won't be indicted.
The public and the mainstream media clearly did not believe Clemens when he testified before Congress. did most members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. But widespread disbelief does not prove that he was lying, knowingly or unknowingly. We don't mete out justice by public opinion polls. Clemens probably doesn't want his day in court, since that would mean he gets indicted, but if he were to prevail in a trial, it might help restore at least a small portion of the reputation he's lost."
—Mike McCann "professor at Vermont Law School and legal analyst for Sports Illustrated".
Clemens achieved impossible, heroic feats that go so well with the baseball narrative. Then the steroids accusations and the revelations about his possible extramarital affair do much to sully that grand picture. Babe Ruth and Mantle had their faults, but they were faults that seemed only to add to their legend. Mantle was an alcoholic who was convinced that he'd be dead by the time he was 40. What's more romantic than that? By contrast, Clemens' flaws seem sad and pathetic. All that said, the larger issue seems to be the pressure we put on baseball to conjure up fallen gods from the cornfields. It is the puncturing of that myth more than any of Roger Clemens' actions that explains my disappointment."
—Jonathan Haagen, Beijing-based writer, entrepreneur
Roger Clemens' current travails begin with the fact that he was not well liked even before the steroid accusations. He had a reputation as a hothead and a headhunter who never had to pick up a bat. There's a perception that he quit on the Red Sox , and didn't work hard again until he got to Toronto and then New York. His fall from grace is seen as "he-got-what-was-coming-to-him."
Clemens' reputation was further damaged by his perceived arrogance for the entire legal process. First, there's the sense that Clemens received special treatment from the committee, meeting with individual members for personal chats prior to the hearing. No other witnesses were offered a similar privilege. Second, he insisted the committee hearings take place when both the Chair and Ranking Member, having heard the evidence, offered to call them off. We can infer that Clemens thought the force of his personality and fame—and the forcefulness of his denials—would see him through.
Third, he tried to sway the court of public opinion. He went on 60 Minutes to profess his innocence (which had the opposite effect). He was an awful witness (I tell my law school students this is how demeanor evidence works against a witness). Finally, he tried to seize control of the legal process by suing Brian McNamee for defamation, which has gone nowhere. The complaint was filed in Texas and was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, a decision Clemens now is appealing. And so he waits for the civil justice process to vindicate him—or to bring all sorts of bad stuff about him to public light.
The public is very forgiving and apologies usually work. An apology seems to have been enough to allow Mark McGwire to begin a new career as hitting coach for the Cardinals. Would an apology work for Clemens? It does not seem to be in his nature. And maybe feelings about him are just too hardened."
—Howard M. Wasserman, Associate Professor of Law, the FIU College of Law, and co-editor of SportsLaw Blog.
Roger Clemens appears to be old news. I'm certain he is retired. Fans have obviously soured on him. I think his chances for the Hall of Fame are similar to those of Barry Bonds. Bonds was the dominant hitter in the game at his peak, Clemens was the dominant pitcher. I don't think either will make it on the first ballot in 2013, but they will eventually make it. I'm not sure I will be alive to see it."
—Bill Gilbert, Texas-base baseball analyst and writer
My sense is that using steroids—and even lying about it—isn't enough to override everything Clemens did on the field. It hurts his image, but he's not the first to break the law to be a better player. And he's one of many who took steroids—he's just one of the easier targets to punish. We don't praise athletes for their moral achievements or their endearing personalities. Unless they cross certain absolute boundaries—like throwing games—our opinion of them vis a vis the Hall of Fame should be based on what they did on the field. And it's not as though Clemens, McGwire, and Bonds, and others are escaping the consequences for using steroids."
—Arne Christensen has a baseball history blog, Misc. Baseball. The first World Series he remembers watching was the Mets vs. Clemens and the Red Sox in 1986

Rightt. . .
On a more pathetic note, I do recall having a few friends who would lug around sheets of floor linoleum or a flattened refrigerator box in order to breakdance at block parties and such during the summers.

Ha Ha that was classic!
I would LOVE to see a mail order that does C.O.D these days HAH!
I called and talked to Leeza. I asked her if they were still selling a product for Breakin` & Poppin`. She put me on hold to see if that product is available in her system. She came back and said she didn`t find anything in her system for Breakin` & Poppin`. Damn - it would have been cool if there was one left in the system!
And I said "Please?" and she said the SAME exact thing twice ROFL.
HAHAHAAHAHA that was so amusing :D

Skye recently started her quarter-life crisis.
Almost a whole year after my original quarter-life crisis.
She's such a copycat.
We decided to celebrate her entrance into a calamity-causing age with a party.
And, like every fabulous party throughout history, costumes were required.
(We're dreadfully strict.)
(Though matching shoes are optional.)
(You've got to know where to draw the line.)
(A wise rule of hopscotch that's seen me through some difficult times.)
(Disregarding my continued inability to jump very long without falling down.)
(That's my shame which shall remain secret.)
(You won't tell, right?)
Skye based her '70s costume on the above orange dress.
Isn't it fabulous?
It also comes in blue velvet.
But that just seemed a tad too extreme.
Justin based his costume on a movie I've never seen.
You're probably familiar with it.
Jeff experiences parties in a blase, accepting manner.
Monroe the dog can sympathize.
(Monroe is quite sympathetic.)
(His compassion is often overshadowed by his adorableness, but it's there.)
(You just have to dig past his big, innocent eyes to see it.)
The fabulousness of a party is directly proportional to the number of people touching their faces in photos.
(Statistical verification pending.)
She knows what I'm talking about.
She didn't like this photo, for completely un-understandable reasons.
As it's a personal pet peeve of mine when beautiful people don't like themselves in photos, even when they clearly look fabulous, I'm posting said photo on the Internet.
(On a completely unrelated note, I still haven't acquired those new friends I was searching for.)
(Strange, right?)
To make up for it, I show you this lovely couch tableau.
Nothing says party like sitting on a couch.
Except for guacamole.
Guacamole is the epitome of celebration.
Anna had left most of her snakes in Southern Virginia, making her head seem tragically lacking in venomous vipers.
Skye took the necessary sight-aversion steps anyway.
She was a Boy Scout in a past life.
Allison was a cowgirl, leading to my newest footwear obsession, boots.
Like most of my obsessions, I'll probably limit my cowgirl boot craze to casually liking someone else's, unless I discover the object of my fixation in a discount bin I bump into while out shopping for clean underwear.
(You know, when the laundry's dirty.)
As I'd only had weeks of notice and plenty of free time, I was unable to come up with an appropriate costume and thus re-used my saloon madam getup from 2009.
This seemed appropriate, as it was a repetition of my 2003 saloon girl costume.
(I just realized I've owned that store-bought ensemble for almost a decade and thus must take a moment to reflect on my advancing age and inevitable death.)
(Also known as when costumes get real.)
Had you not really read the middle of this post, frantically trying to figure out Jeff's costume?
Have no fear, you've made it to the big reveal – he's the Bounty man.
I neglected to spill something, and thus Jeff was unable to fully utilize his new, super-cleaning strength,

Effort could offer clues to becoming no-kill shelter
No one is sure how many dogs would have to be spayed or neutered to dramatically reduce the number of animals coming to the Oklahoma City animal shelter. Thanks to a $10,000 grant from PetSmart Charities to sterilize dogs in Del City, the answer may be coming soon. Del City has one animal control officer and no shelter, so it has contracted with Oklahoma City since 1972 to house strays. Catherine English, superintendent of Oklahoma City's animal shelter, said the relationship is giving Oklahoma City the chance to learn the answer to a burning question as it tries to become a "no-kill" shelter, meaning no adoptable animals would be euthanized. "We're trying to figure out how many animals you have to sterilize to see a measurable decrease in the number of animals coming into the shelter," she said. English said the city looked to PetSmart Charities, which often awards grants for sterilizing specific problem areas. The $10,000 grant will pay for spaying or neutering 571 dogs, about 12 percent of Del City's entire estimated dog population. Del City Manager Mark Edwards said he's hopeful the effort will make a big difference in stray totals. "We only cover eight square miles, and we spend well over $100,000 a year in animal control," he said. "That is way too much. People want animal control, but they don't want to control their animals." The program will be open to any low-income dog owners in Del City who can prove they are eligible for state or federal aid. Owners will pay $17.50, or half the procedure's cost, while the grant pays for the other half.
Why Del City?English said Del City was picked for the program because the number of animals brought in from Del City is independently tracked, about 750 to 800 a year, and because such a large chunk of the city's dog population can be included in the program. Animal welfare officials can compare the number of dogs brought in to the number of dogs sterilized to get an idea of what will make a difference. "If you sterilize 12 percent of the dog population, and it doesn't change the intake, then what is the magic number?" English said. "Is it 25 percent? Is it 50 percent? We don't know, and we have to find that out." Once animal welfare workers have their answer, they can go back to PetSmart charities and ask to expand the program. "Del City is kind of a microcosm for pet ownership in the metro area," English said. "If we can show that sterilizing 12 percent of a canine population reduces intake by, for example, 5 percent or 10 percent, we can go back to them and say we need this amount of money."
HOT TO GET HELPThe spay/neutering program will be open to Del City dog owners who can show they qualify for state or federal public aid of any kind. To make an appointment to have your dog spayed or neutered, call Best Friends of Shelter Pets at 629-6795 or Volunteers for Animal Welfare at 606-8476.

I went for a very casual non stressful/pushy ride today. half way through I noticed my hands were going numb. At the end of my little trip my fingers were numb for several mins. What causes this? It isn't pleasurable, is there a way to fix it?
You might need more info so I'll tell you what very little I know.
I ride mostly with my hands on the black things on top of the grip bar (hoods?) and when I go uphill I move my hands to the curved part with the brake. Today I hardly met any hills so I stayed on the top not the curve.
I was fitted for my bike, everything is setup as far as I know of.
Any ideas?

Great composition ! The foreground is captivating
Wonderful depth, light and detail, fantastic location!
wonderful, love those lines!
The foreground is quite soft. At this DOF it shouldn't have been a problem. Is your lens okay?
That's part of why I got rid of the lens... it was quite soft on the right edge, and it was actually the second copy of the same lens I had. Funny enough that's why I returned the first one because it was soft on the left edge
Oh wow! It's great shot! Love it!
beautiful flow
Wow, sand and snow in the same picture. And the sand pattern seems to mirror that of the clouds above! This picture is excellent, thanks for sharing it!
Nice one!
Amazing shot!
Such a beautiful picture!

IDF: Intel Larrabee GPUs will sell through add-in card vendors
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 2, 2008 - 07:12 PM | Ryan Shrout
We have done more than our fair share of coverage on the Intel's Larrabee project, the one that will bring Intel into the discrete graphics market for the first time competitively. Though we could have guessed this, apparently TheInq got confirmation from Intel at IDF that they would indeed be adopting the "add-in card partner" method of selling their own GPUs. Does this mean we'll see BFG o

I know we have all been hearing about the elusive DX10 drivers for Intel integrated graphics, but according to this report we might ACTUALLY be getting close. I did do a little checking and this does NOT have the taste of an April Fool's joke....
Intel is planning to announce a DirectX 10 driver for its

nVIDIA spills the secret
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 1, 2008 - 05:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
While many readers will question nVIDIA's sanity for releasing a new card on April Fools Day, there is a reason that they are not worried about any repercussions. You see, they know something you probably don't. By releasing the card for testing to so many sites, they guarantee that no prank can be pulled.
NVIDIA is pumping out new products like they are going out of style...so are they? The new 9800 GTX does not bring us anything that we haven't seen before but better performance and lower prices is always a plus. Oh, and 3-Way SLI is always fun to test!

AMD's 3870, the Baskin Robbins of video cards
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 31, 2008 - 10:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The HD3870 from AMD has enjoyed the most positive reception since ATI was absorbed by AMD. Along with the vanilla card came overclocked versions, as well as a Toxic model. Elite Bastards has manged to get their hands on a new flavour, the Sapphire HD3870 Atomic. This choice features built in watercooling and a modest overclock of 35MHz on the GPU and 31MHz for the RAM. It also comes with a reservoir and pump, so you do not need a watercooled rig to run this card, but a bit of free space will certainly help.

Abit to re-enter GPU market with NVIDIA parts

Hey, what do you do when you need to improve your corporate profits and you happen to notice the NVIDIA GPU market is saturated with a bunch of other companies? Apparently, you are supposed throw your hat into that ring as well. Honestly, with companies like BFG, EVGA and XFX really dominating the US market and struggling to differentiate from each other Abit is going to need some unique angle to make any kind of impact.

Not a bad score for a single card, although it is a bit of a Frankenstein
design. Three HD 3850's have been forced into cohabitation on a single card, with a watercooling "thingy" stuck on the end of the card to keep things from getting too hot. You can get a good look at the card at NordicHardware, as well as the results of a few other benchmarks they performed.

I mean just look at Charizard. He has been one of Ash's Pokémon for almost as long as Pikachu, though he's still as strong as ever because it doesn't matter that much, since he's not a part of Ash's main team in the newer regions, except for in the league battles.
Though on the actual topic, the fifth generation
supposed to be a restart of everything, so it makes sense for Ash to be weaker than his rival at first, then slowly climbing further up to becoming stronger than him, and obviously Pikachu should've been much stronger than all of Trip's Pokémon, though that would've made it less of an experience for the viewers, and less of a rival if Ash was always able to beat him. Of course they could turn the roles around, so that Ash kept on beating his rival and then the rival got the better of him in the league, though since Pokémon is aimed for the younger audience, and since that's probably not what they want to see, I don't think the possibilities of that ever happening are that big. But yeah, Ash will grow stronger, and his team will most likely make it further in the Unova league than they've done in any other league, since Ash appears to get further and further in every new league he competes in.
All in all, just stop worrying about Ash becoming weaker. Of course it doesn't make sense, but how else are they gonna show Ash progressing if he's already as good as they get?
