SteelSeries Apex Gaming Keyboard Review
The SteelSeries Apex Gaming Keyboard is a mid-range gaming keyboard retailing for around £89.99. It sports 22 macro keys, impressive anti-ghosting, and media keys. The most-marketed selling point of the keyboard is its backlight: the Apex Gaming Keyboard features 5 different colour zones, that can each be customised to display any colour you like (at least, any one of 16.8 million).
The keyboard feels very well-built, despite being made of plastic and not mechanical. Its solid construction means that it's weighty enough to not move around on the desk when you're using it, but it's not so heavy as to be an annoyance if you want to take it with you to a gaming tournament. Four rubber feet assist in keeping the keyboard in place, and the rear two can be swapped out for slightly taller ones, to give the keyboard a higher angle should you want it.
As you'd expect, they keyboard connects to the computer via USB (2.0, not 3.0), and has two male connectors in case your USB slots aren't powerful enough to light the keyboard. These are on a braided cable, which makes it less likely to tangle or become worn. If you're worried about your USB slots being taken up, the Apex Gaming Keyboard provides two extra USB 2.0 slots on the back to replace the ones it's already using.
For those of us who spend a large amount of time in a darkened room, backlighting can be an absolute necessity. Even in a relatively well-lit room, backlit keys can make it far easier to see what you're pressing. SteelSeries advertise five different colour zones, illustrated in the image below. Seeing as the fifth 'colour zone' comprises of the SteelSeries logo and the lights on the side, it may be worth only counting four that will actually have practical use. These four do, however, make it easy to distinguish the different areas of your keyboard just by using your peripheral vision. Each of these zones can be customised to display any colour with, apparently, over a trillion possible combinations.
An issue I found – one that may be a deal-breaker for anyone with slight levels of OCD – is that the backlighting seems quite uneven. At first I thought this was intentional; the escape key is one of the brightest, which could be seen to make some level of sense. However, there are other places on the keyboard where this issue is quite prominent: the print screen, insert, and delete keys being prime examples. For most people this shouldn't be an issue – you still get multiple colours and the keys are all well-lit enough to be visible in the pitch black – but as backlighting is the feature SteelSeries have been shouting about the most, you might hope for something a little better.
Another gripe I had with the Apex Gaming Keyboard is a large space on the front of it that I can only assume was supposed to be a wrist support. The plastic of the keyboard juts out around 1½ inches past the space bar and actually makes typing more uncomfortable. In order to rest your wrists full on the support you have to have your arms and wrists at quite an uncomfortable angle that makes typing more difficult. If you don't adopt this position, however, the edge of the keyboard digs into the palm of your hand, making extended usage somewhat unpleasant. It would have been nice had SteelSeries either removed the extra plastic, made it longer, or – even better – made it user-adjustable.
The Keys
Key presses are firm and responsive, with the spacebar appearing to respond to slightly lighter touches. This is probably going to be a matter of personal preference, but I found that the spacebar feeling slightly less heavy made typing seem slightly easier. Aforementioned space bar is also extra large, being double the height of the standard keys, making it nice and easy to find.
While the noise the Apex Gaming Keyboard produces can't rival the likes of mechanical keyboards, it still isn't particularly sociable; if you're using it in a room with a few other people then they're probably going to want to hit you after a few minutes (I've had to lock myself in another room to type this review).
In terms of extra keys, the Apex Gaming Keyboard adds two extra keys to the standard directional ones: diagonal up/right and up/left. How useful these will prove to be is for you to decide. There are also dedicated media keys to the far right of the keyboard, allowing you to control music and volume. By pressing the volume keys in conjunction with the SteelSeries key, you can also adjust keyboard brightness.
The SteelSeries key is located two keys to the right of the space bar and is used for performing a few different tasks in addition to modifying the function of the volume keys. Most notably, by pressing the SteelSeries key (in my first draft I decided to shorten this to the 'SS key') in conjunction with the Windows key, you can disable the latter. This removes the need to install any dedicated software to perform this function.
A final useful touch on the Apex Gaming Keyboard is raised bumps on the W key. Two small lumps in the bottom corners make it slightly easier for your fingers to find their way back to the WASD keys should you move them at any point. It's a small feature, but one that could become invaluable to some.
Macros and Customisation
Taking a cue from Taylor Swift, SteelSeries have included 22 macro keys on the Apex Gaming Keyboard. Ten are situated to the far left of the keyboard (MX), with the remaining twelve placed above the function keys (M). Positioning of the MX keys will be familiar to just about anyone who has used a gaming keyboard, and are only a small hop from the main area of the keyboard. To prevent accidental pressing of the function keys when reaching the M keys, they have been raised quite far above the former.
In addition to there being 22 keys to which macros can be applied, the L keys on the top right of the Apex Gaming Keyboard allow you to switch between four different layers. This means that in just one profile, it is possible to have up to 88 different macros, and four different colour schemes.
To set these, you need to install the SteelSeries Engine from their website. The program will then allow you to assign any function to any key; if you really wanted, you could have the D key type out the lyrics of a One Direction song when pressed.
Configuring profiles is easy, as is changing the colour scheme. Profiles can be assigned to executable files, as you would expect, and the SteelSeries Engine even allows you to assign the profile to multiple programs, or even folders of programs. The one issue I found was speed; when it comes to switching profiles, it could take the keyboard a few seconds to change. Manually switching profiles within the SteelSeries Engine even caused the program to freeze up. Of course, if you're launching a game, it's unlikely that the keyboard will take longer than the loading time, it just seems odd that it should take such a long time for it to make the switch.
In addition to setting macro keys and colour for profiles, you can adjust the polling rate (between 125Hz and 1000Hz) and even the keyboard layout, which could be useful on the off-chance that you are bilingual and enjoy typing in different languages.
If you want to track your key presses, it's possible to turn on statistics. Starting this within the SteelSeries Engine before you begin your game means that all of your key presses will be logged and displayed on a heat map when you are finished.
The only issue I had with the SteelSeries Engine is that it appeared to be using 17% of my CPU and over 300mb of RAM, even when the keyboard wasn't plugged in.
The Apex Gaming Keyboard is a great keyboard in terms of its features and flexibility. The backlight is invaluable and the different 'colour zones' surprisingly helpful. It comes with software that, while not particularly stand-out in terms of its design, is quite well-made and easy to use, and its overall design is quite attractive, if bulky. There are only a few areas that let it down – the weird wrist support and uneven backlighting being the ones I take issue with the most – and slightly detract from its otherwise premium feel. In terms of price, however, it is actually fairly good value for money. If you have a medium budget want a keyboard with the capability for more macros than you can possibly remember, a backlight, and a very high degree of customisation, then this is probably the right keyboard for you.

Full circle? Noah "40″ Shebib was responsible for the Sade-esque beats on Thank Me Later, now he's producing a remix for her Ultimate Collection LP. The rumor was that the Jay-Z verse here marks her first collaboration. Unless she re-recorded her vocals here with Jay-Z, that honor goes the Guru for the remix of "King of Sorrow". Do the knowledge.
LISTEN: Sade – "The Moon & The Sky (Remix)" (feat. Jay-Z)
I love Sade music and have always enjoyed Jay-Z (more so his music pre-retirement) but this remix isn't that exciting to me. It's noy bad but nothing special…
I agree with Dayz, I was expecting much more on this track, the production didn't suite Sade, it's a decent track but not what i expected.
Copy that.
It does make me want to cop tickets to the Sade/John Legend show, though.
Agree with all. First impressions are that it seems really forgettable. I'll definitely give it a chance to grow on me, but it's not as impressive as I expected from these two collabing.
I was actually really looking forward when I heard that these 2 will be doing a collab.. its too bad the sound didnt really come out right although I still felt the jay-z part.. the sound was just off.. didnt fit both artists right

Many of us men and women try everything to make ourselves look younger than we truly are. if you are wearing your son or daughters hand-me-downs, that is the wrong way to make a younger impression, that is why you should keep reading this article! This article will show you the proper ways to look young without giving away a desperate attempt.
Never let your clothes cling to the wrong parts – When you wear clothing pieces that cling to the bad parts of your body, it draws attention to those parts. If you do not want to show those parts off, you should wear clothing that draws attention away from them.
Try flat-front pants instead of pleats – Flat-front pants are exactly how they sound; flat in the front! When you wear flat-front pants, it makes your stomach look slimmer and lengthens your legs, which makes your legs look longer, making you look taller. When you look taller, your body automatically looks well proportioned. Every woman longs for a tall, lean-looking body.
Show the thin part of your arms – Your wrist and forearm is the smallest part of any man and women's arm. One of the new styles are those dress shirts with three-quarter sleeves. You can even roll up your sleeves partway. This gives a much younger look because the rolled-up-sleeve style is for a younger generation; however, this is still classy and sophisticated.
Show off your shoulders – Showing a little shoulder is very sexy (and also only for women); however, there are ways you can show your shoulders without looking too sexy. The shoulders are the slowest aging body part on everyone, that is why you should show them off if you are trying to look younger! Try wearing a wide V-neck or a slender boat neck. These styles are classy, while making you look young and sexy.
Wear the proper bra – Obviously, this tip is only for women. The most common mistake about wearing a bra is that women wear their bra bands too loosely. When you bra is too loose, or does not fit properly, it allows your breast to sag, and shows off unsightly back fat, which no one wants to see. Tighten your bra bands and keep your breast well supported so that they look perky and well kept. Perky breast make a woman look much younger!
Shapewear! – Men and women can wear shapewear! There is shapewear for only certain parts of your body that you are trying to slim down, or if you want to make your WHOLE body appear thinner, they make shapewear bodysuits! Shapewear was invented for men and women who hate the way their body looks. Shapewear keeps everything kept tight inside, so there is no back fat, or "love handles"! Great invention!
Printed clothing – Depending on how your personal fashion style is, you might be able to pull off the printed clothing style. On demand T-shirt printing is a great way to express yourself, make yourself look younger, and give off a certain vibe to others. You must be careful when it comes to on demand T-shirt printing though because sometimes it might make you look as if you are wearing your children's clothes! On demand T-shirt printing is a great way to show off your "rocker" side; however, only if you have a rocker side to you.
Use distractions – Jewelry is much more than just an accessory. Jewelry is also a huge distraction from something you do not want to show off! For example, if you have a small chest, try wearing a big, bold, short¸ necklace. The bold necklace will distract others' eye from your small chest! As we all know, not every woman has a big chest, no matter how old they are!

Hung Daddy
During his solo masturbation scene he turns around on the couch to give us a view of his hot ass as he gives himself a reacharound. That mushroom head cock looks good enough to eat as does that beautiful bum! After getting on his back again he really goes for it wanking himself til he spurts a huge load of cum all over himself.
See the full episode containing all the pics and video footage only at Hot Older Male. Become a member and enjoy all of their sexy mature men.
The first time we went to the shower block I couldn't help but stare at him as he took his swimmers off and entered the open shower cubicle in the locker room. He had a long penis and it was the first time I had seen a man naked up close. I watched on as the water trickled all over his athletic body and I used a towel to hide my hardon from my friend.
He turned and faced me and started talking about our diving session as he shampooed his hair with his eyes closed. I finally got to see his big cock up close and I could not take my eyes of it. Later at home I jerked off as I fantasized about a scenario where he asked my to soap up his cock and wash it for him. I looked forward to every training session and soon discovered I could also go there without them and sees other naked men showering.
These pictures come from Hot Older Male, a site that features loads of really hot hung daddies and grandpas. Be sure to check them out!
As he reclined on the bed and pulled his Y fronts off his plump cock flopped onto his flat belly. His heavy balls looked loaded too and the sight of him on his back like that had me fantasizing about taking a ride on top of this handsome grand father. Can you imagine that fat dick inside you while you kiss his mustached mouth? Or maybe you'd prefer to just gobble that meaty member till he shoots his load in your mouth? Mmm can I have both?

Ok call me shallow but for me this hot daddy is my ultimate oral fixation fantasy guy. I would give him multiple orgasms as I sucked on that big beautiful cut cock till he cum down my throat. Every now and then I might let stick that fat dick in my ass and fuck me but I'm more interested in blowing a hot piece of man meat like his.

I really liked this set of photos of him I saw at Hot Older Male. He has a sexy firm body with a hairy chest that I would love to play with while riding his fat dick. You would want to be lubed up loose though to accommodate this muscular matures pumped cock. It's beer can thick and he looks like the type that would really slam your ass hard.

Below is a short fantasy story about this hot grandpa:
I was working as a mobile carer that would go to the homes of elderly men and help them with any household chores they needed. I was called to the home of a 72 year old grandfather who was new to the service. I went there not knowing what to expect or what he needed. When he answered the door I saw he was in a wheel chair with a broken ankle. He was quite cute and charming.
He said he needed help with a few things and I started on the menial stuff like vacuuming. I noticed him watching me closely and in particular staring at my ass. I didn't mind giving these lonely horny old men a peek either. In fact it turned me on that they were looking. I was getting very horny myself at the thought I might be able to get a little hands on with this sexy grandpa.
I casually asked if he could shower or bath and he admitted that was one of the things he needed help with. He was a bit sheepish and embarrassed about it but I told him not to be and I would take care of it. I decided I wanted to give him a sponge bath rather than carry him to the shower.
I helped him undress and soon had him down to his jocks. It was then I noticed a huge bulge in this old mans underwear. It wasn't a boner he had either just a big bulge. When I pulled his white y-fronts off I nearly fainted when I saw his penis. It was huge! It was also the most beautiful cock I had ever seen on an old guy. It was soft, milky white and thick and hung halfway down his leg.
I had trouble tearing my eyes off this impressive piece of meat but I tried to stay calm. I started giving him his sponge bath by beginning at his chest and slowly working my way down. I couldn't stop thinking about how I was going to enjoy giving that big cock a thorough wash.
When I got down to his privates I soaped his fat soft dick up and gently rubbed up and down the shaft. I then worked his plump cock head in my wet soapy hand enjoying then sensation. I looked into his eyes and it was obvious grandpa was enjoying the sensation too. I took a risk there and then I was so over come with lust for this silver daddy. I leaned over and started kissing him on the lips while I continued rubbing his huge cock.
We were soon tongue kissing passionately and I continued wanking him. He didn't seem to get totally hard which is not unusual for a man of his age and I kind of liked the sensation of a softish penis. I dried him off and then knew I had to have that glorious cock in my mouth. I dropped to my knees and started gently sucking on grandpas huge dick.
My own cock was rock hard by this stage as I kept of suckling on his chubby rod. After what seemed like an hour he finally seemed to be reaching orgasm. I wanted every drop of this sexy matures cum in my mouth and on my face and when he finally blew I got it too! The old timer shot an impressive was of hot cum on my face and I then let him suck on my cock and returned the favor. He loved it!
Needless to say I always looked forward to my appointments with this big dick grand daddy!

Got something to say?

Because of rehearsals and performances, "I was missing out on a lot, sports and friend stuff," she says. "Normal childhood looked like a candy store and Christmas to me." It got further out of reach when, at 14, Lane landed on the cover of Time for a story about child stars that included Tatum O'Neal and Brooke Shields. "I was so happy to see other specimens," Lane says. "It was such a rarity. I don't think young people today remember there was a time when 14-year-olds didn't control the entertainment industry."
Burt Lane, who died in 2002, was determined that his daughter be able to take care of herself. "He would say, 'I did not raise you for bondage,' " she remembers. "He would elucidate this whole scenario: A guy is going to chain you to a chair, have his way with you until you're pregnant with his child and you have to have it, and that will be your life. It was a really toxic cartoon." In hindsight, though, she says she understands her father's concern about the potential traps of being female. "That is women's plight historically and today in many parts of the world, because women don't have any say over their bodies. [My dad] couldn't believe that would be the fate of his only flesh and blood daughter, his only child." (Actually, Burt had another daughter, from a prior marriage, whom Diane first met in her twenties. "We didn't have that much in common to continue forward," she says. "But we did strip away the mystery.")
By necessity, Lane was a self-reliant child. Dern remembers going to stay with her friend at the Hilton in Los Angeles when she was making 1984's Streets of Fire, "just to make it feel a little homier." One of the foundations of their friendship, Dern says, was that both young women were intrigued by the idea of "being seekers. We didn't necessarily know what we were longing for, but we were interested in the idea of an internal search, a sense of self or connection to something larger. Trying to become a grownup in a healthy way was, oddly, a deep interest for both of us, even at 12 and 15." By 19, when Lane was starring in The Cotton Club, her first of three movies with Gere and the third of four she made with Coppola, she had a moment of realization. "I said, 'OK, I am now wiser than my father in every aspect of filmmaking.' I outgrew his ability to give me advice. He agreed." Coppola says he remembers Lane at that time as a "sweet and very hardworking young lady. From the moment I worked with her, I had a crush on her—as did many who saw those pictures."
Burt Lane moved on to the role of cheerleader, but his fears may have colored Lane's idea of having children. "I thought, If I have a child, I'll be focused on the one and won't be able to do great things," she says. "In fact, it's the opposite: Because of having had a child, I have gone past my comfort zone and been willing to put myself out there."
When Lane married Brolin in 2004, they united their children—her daughter and his son and daughter—in a blended family. Barbra Streisand, who is married to Josh's father, actor James Brolin, is an active grandmother. "What I enjoy most about Barbra is how participatory she is in the family," Lane says. "She's a mensch. She comes to the kids' plays and graduations. It was never an issue or question. She wants that involvement."
Last year Lane and Brolin faced an instant empty-nest scenario: Within two weeks, all three kids moved out, two of them to New York and one to Asia. "I can still hear the sound of Velcro ripping, the tearing-away feeling," Lane says. "Wait! Where are you going? Was it something I said?" Being without them "is kind of chilling," she adds, "but I like straightforward showdowns with fate. I'm feeling good about it."

- " This place is great! Super helpful and friendly staff, really good meals offered for cheap, and overall its a hostel with an awesome vibe. I'd recommend this to anyone who is going to be travelling to Munich. The bonfires at night are a good time too "
- 19 Aug 2015 Derek Canada
- " Cool concept and good opportunity for solo travelers to meet other people. Food was good and cheap, bathrooms were clean. Unfortunately the weather was poor during my stay, and the accommodations are not comfortable in the rain and the cold. Wifi was also extremely unreliable and charging stations are limited. I'm sure it would be way more enjoyable in nice weather. "

- " It's a place for open minded people, it's all about sharing. Very good showers. Great food for its price, it was really cheap. We'll be coming back but with our own tent so we'll have some privacy. The big tent with 100 places was good for 1 night, but for a longer stay i would prefer a private place. "

Austin, Texas - In the final day of competition at the NCAA Track and Field West Preliminary Round in Austin, Texas, UCLA qualified two more athletes to the NCAA Championships - sophomore 100m hurdler Brea Buchanan and junior hammer thrower Alec Faldermeyer. Buchanan and Faldermeyer join previously-qualified Kylie Price (long jump and 100m), Turquoise Thompson (400m hurdles), Julian Wruck (discus), Ida Storm (hammer), Dominic Giovannoni (decathlon), Marcus Nilsson (decathlon) and Tatum Souza (heptathlon).
The Bruins had a few heartbreaking near-misses, with Mike Woepse (pole vault) and the women's 4x100m relay team missing out on qualifying by the slimmest of margins. Woepse missed by one attempt, and the relay team was .002 seconds behind the final qualifying team. The Bruins also had two other 13th-place finishers earlier in the week, Nicholas Scarvelis in the shot put and Matthew Kosecki in the discus.
"We had some big-time casualties, most obviously Mike Woepse and Allison Koressel not qualifying in the pole vault, and we also had some people who just missed out in 13th place," said UCLA Director of Track and Field Mike Maynard. "There were casualties by performance and just some difficult competitive luck, but that's what this meet is. This meet doesn't always go as smoothly as you might hope. But we also got some great people through, so we had some good stuff happen. We also have three people who don't show in this meet who made it through and are important - our multi-event athletes. So that's something that we have going that doesn't really show in this meet."
Women's 100 Hurdles
Brea Buchanan qualified to her first NCAA Outdoor Championship, recording the fastest overall time in the 100m hurdles, 13.054. The Bruin sophomore qualified for the NCAA Indoors in the 60m hurdles earlier in the year, placing fifth.
"I'm really excited," Buchanan said about qualifying for the Championships. "This is my first time going. I wasn't really concerned about PR'ing or running my fastest and going all out. Coach Bobby (Kersee) has been trying to teach me how to run rounds, like run clean technically and to do just enough to get by because next week I'm going to need to run for my life. I'm just trying to learn how to go about my races - prelims and finals - so I'm really excited and happy about my performance today."
Men's Hammer
After fouling his first two throws, the pressure was on for Alec Faldermeyer on his third throw. He came through with a throw of 62.60m/205-4 to qualify for the final round and then improved upon his mark with a 63.92m/209-8 to finish the competition in ninth place to qualify for the NCAA Championships for the third straight year. Faldermeyer has placed in the Top 5 in the hammer at the last two NCAA Championships.
"That was probably one of the worst meets I've ever had in my life," Faldermeyer said. "I was literally frightened going into my third throw, and I just did everything I could to get a fair throw and get into the finals, which I did, and then on my last throw I managed to move myself up a little bit. It wasn't my best, but I'm in, and I know it's there. I can obviously throw way farther, so I'm not too worried. I just have to do it when it counts in 10 days."
Men's Pole Vault
UCLA took a hit here when Mike Woepse, ranked 10th in the region entering the event, finished in 13th place, one spot out of qualifying. Woepse cleared 5.35m/17-6.5 on his second attempt but was unable to get past the next qualifying height of 5.40m/17-8.5. The 12th-place finisher, Jeremy Klas from Idaho, also did not clear 5.40m, but he cleared the previous height (5.35) on his first attempt, while Woepse made it in his second attempt. Dominic Giovannoni cleared his first attempt at 4.90m/16-0.75 but did not advance, finishing 40th.
Women's 4x100m Relay
The UCLA relay team of Trinity Wilson, Kylie Price, Brea Buchanan and Ally Courtnall placed fifth in heat 2 in 44.948 and missed out on qualifying to the NCAA Championships by .002 seconds. Baylor, which placed fourth in the heat, grabbed the final qualifying spot with a time of 44.946.
Women's Triple Jump
Faith Anumba jumped 12.41m/40-8.75 and finished 29th overall.
Men's Javelin
Derek Eager fell two spots shy of qualifying to the NCAA Championships, finishing 14th with a throw of 67.29m/220-9. Eager had nabbed the 16th and last spot in the final round with a throw of 65.60m/215-2 and then improved his mark with a 67.29m/220-9m, but it wasn't enough to catch the Top 12. Carlo Valdes had a best throw of 57.82m/189-8 and did not advance, placing 40th.
Men's 4x100m Relay
UCLA's relay team of Blake Selig, Yusef Merriweather, Ishmael Adams and Karlton Rolle placed sixth in its heat with a time of 40.31. Selig got the Bruins off to a strong start, taking the lead after the first leg. Merriweather kept it going in the second leg, but the Bruins were unable to maintain the lead and finished shy of qualifying in 15th place overall.
Men's Triple Jump
Dillon Stucky did not advance after fouling all three of his preliminary jumps.
Women's 5000m
Kelsey Smith finished 22nd in her heat and 38th overall with a time of 17:10.19 and did not qualify to the NCAA Championships.
Men's 5000m
Lane Werley clocked in a time of 14:10.69 to finish 10th in his heat and 15th overall. Werley was among the Top 6 racers after 1600 and stayed within striking distance for most of the race but fell further behind over the last few laps.
Women's 4x400m Relay
The relay group of Katie Reid, Turquoise Thompson, Danielle Low and Ally Courtnall finished fifth in their heat and 16th overall with a time of 3:38.29.

AT&T will push Gingerbread to all smartphones released this year, as well as the Samsung Captivate
AT&T has decided to make its customers happy. At least its customers that have purchased an Android-powered device from the carrier this year, and those who own a Samsung Captivate (AT&T's version of last year's Samsung Galaxy S). How so?
Well, AT&T has announced that its entire lineup of post-paid Android smartphones released this year will be getting updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which at the moment is the latest version of Google's mobile operating system. The smartphones in question are the HTC Inspire 4G, LG Phoenix, Motorola Atrix 4G, Pantech Crossover, and Samsung Infuse 4G. The Samsung Captivate will also receive an update to Gingerbread even if it was launched last year.
Where possible, the updates will come over-the-air, with the phone notifying you that an updated version of the OS is available. This might however not be possible for all devices, so in some cases you may have to use a computer to perform the update.
Unfortunately, AT&T hasn't given us a clear timeline for the updates for all of the aforementioned handsets. However, the update for the Motorola Atrix 4G has already started rolling out, and the one for the HTC Inspire 4G is expected to start rolling out in the next few weeks (in August). As for when the rest of the smartphones will get to taste Gingerbread, it remains to be seen. We'll be here to let you know as soon as we find out more.
Any of these phones can be had on Amazon: Inspire 4G, Motorola Atrix 4G , Pantech Crossover, Samsung Captivate, Samsung Infuse 4G, and the LG Phoenix.

Why It's Fiction. With few exceptions, there is no conclusive evidence that shows that people who take supplements are healthier than those that don't. No matter what types of supplements you're taking, an unhealthy diet is an unhealthy diet. Food is the best source of all the good things you need for a strong and healthy body. So focus on food, not pills, for your main vitamin and mineral needs.
5. If weight loss is your goal, you need to give up anything you actually like.
Why It's Fiction (thank goodness). What happens when you perpetually deny yourself something you really, really, really want while you're dieting? That's right, at some point you go crazy and binge on what you tried to deny yourself, derailing your weight loss efforts. Having a restrictive diet can backfire, even with people who have very high levels of willpower – it's simply unrealistic to sacrifice the foods you love. Also, by throwing food into categories like "good" and "bad," you're setting yourself up, making the "good" foods a punishment and the "bad" foods naturally more tempting. Instead, restrict yourself. Practice moderation and portion control so you can eat what you want and still stay on track with your weight loss goals.
6. Only eat reduced-calorie and fat-free foods to lose weight.
Why It's Fiction: Okay, let's think about this one. Is there such thing as a reduced-calorie apple? Considering how long most reduced-calorie and fat-free foods have been around (over a decade), has our society remotely gotten thinner or healthier? Consider that most of the reduced-calorie foods out there are things you should be eating in serious moderation anyway: empty-calorie, processed sweets, crackers and cookies. Again, fat is not really the weight-gain culprit; excess calories are. You can eat all the reduced-calorie and fat-free foods you want, but it you're making the wrong food choices overall, you'll still gain weight.
7. When you go out to eat, you'll be fine if you eat a salad.
Why It's Fiction: Yes, salads can be healthy. But, of course,it depends on what's in it. Although that big bowl of greens may be packed full of antioxidants and fiber, it can also be chock full of fat, cholesterol, sodium and calories. Some restaurant salads can even contain more calories than a cheeseburger! Read the menu and ask questions to make sure you're making the right choices.
8. As long as you don't eat a lot of calories, you can eat whatever you want.
Why It's Fiction: So far, we've been talking about how you need to watch your calories and not restrict yourself too much in what you choose to eat. Yes, calories are important, but you should never ignore the quality of your food, either. Yes, there is a difference between 500 calories of ice cream and 500 calories of a grilled chicken salad with spinach, tomatoes, artichokes, etc. Not only will the salad fill you up, but it's full of the essential vitamins you need. The ice cream will just leave you hungry and undernourished, and more likely to compensate for the lost nutrients by overeating – and overeating increases your risks of multiple conditions, including obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol.
Food is a wonderful thing – it has the power to nourish you and give you great joy. If you choose carefully, your food will treat you well.

On my Windows 7-64 laptop,
bootmgr is missing. I have no compatible Windows 7 DVD. I want to restore my system from the System Reserved partition. How can I access advanced boot options? Or: how can I restore the bootmgr?
On my Windows 7-64 laptop,
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 20 '11 at 16:55
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Your System Reserved partition is where Microsoft's Boot Manager lives in the first place, and it's necessary to have MS Boot Manager there in order to invoke the Windows Recovery Environment that is also on the System Reserved partition. It's MS Boot Manager that presents the option of running the WinRE.
If you are seeing the message
BOOTMGR is missingthen the partition that your firmware is bootstrapping doesn't contain Microsoft Boot Manager. If that's your System Reserved partition, then obviously you won't be able to bring up the Windows Recovery Environment.
But I suspect, from experience, that you've not deleted MS Boot Manager, or even damaged your bootstrap programs. I suspect that you've gone and adjusted your partition table and changed the "startable" (a.k.a. "active") partition from the System Reserved partition to your boot partition. That was the wrong thing to do. Microsoft's Boot Manager does not live in a boot partition; and the "startable" partition is supposed to be your system partition — or, as in your case, a Poor Man's equivalent thereto. Make your system partition the "startable" one once more.
Microsoft tells you the same thing as I do, by the way.
Using Windows 7 System Restore via Installation or Restore Disk
Not sure if the following will fix the issue but it's worth a try. It's also easy and quick. If you are missing your Windows Vista/7 installation or recovery DVD, create a recovery disk using these instructions using another computer. Follow the steps below once you created the disk.
Download Legit Windows 7 Installation Disk
If the above doesn't work, you can download the official Win 7 installation ISO from here. The links are to Microsoft's official online retail store. Download the correct version type (e.g. Home Premium). Create a bootable disk using the downloaded ISO. Use it to do reinstall Windows 7. You may need to call MS Activation Support to activate Windows again but that is quite easy.
Use F8 at the bios splash screen to get the Windows Advanced screen, then choose "Repair your computer"
If you get Windows repaired and booting again, go to the All Programs menu and then the Maintenance folder, then select "create a system repair disc" Now you will have a bootable repair disc in case the F8 menu becomes unusable.
You can also make this disc on another Windows 7 64bit PC if the F8 does not work for you this time.

Top 10 tricks that men can't resist
You're a real lady, and you know how to behave yourself in the company, but there are lots of little tricks that you can employ that will get the men panting for more. The good news is, you don't have to stop being ladylike to get it right!
10) Smile genuinely: This sounds easy, doesn't it? Well, nothing could be more beautiful and alluring than a natural, genuine smile! Sure, models strut their stuff on the catwalk with faces like thunder, but it doesn't make anyone want to spend time with them, does it? A smile says you like someone, and everyone wants to be liked. False smiles, the famous 'Pan Am' smile with bared teeth and unsmiling eyes just don't work. Anyone can recognize a fake without being able to put their finger on why it's a fake.
9) Artfully applied make-up: Ladies, if you didn't know this before, there's no need to blush: lipstick reddens the lips in much the same way that arousal does. Did you ever wonder why it's so popular? It's just downright sexy without screeching 'Here I am! Easy meat!' The eyes look wider and more alluring with a bit of eye-make up, and anyone will tell you that a glowing complexion is super-attractive.
Research shows that even men who say they don't like make-up prefer the looks of women who wear tastefully-applied, natural-looking cosmetics. The secret is simply to use the make-up to enhance your appearance, rather than overwhelming it with tacky layers and layers of goo.
8) Wear heels: That's right: heels are one of the sexiest inventions out there for getting and keeping attention. What could be more alluring than the sight of shapely legs with well-defined claves, trim ankles and a nice, pert derriere? Heels help you to show off your natural assets by tightening the muscles, giving them better definition.
7) Dress to show off your curves: Obviously you don't want to look 'desperate' in an overly revealing dress, but the gentlemen do like to see what shape you are, at the very least. Dress to emphasize your best features: trim waist? Well, why hide it? Nice legs? Above the knee is a good length – no need to make yourself insecure in a micro-mini if that's not your style! Nice cleavage? A low top that doesn't plunge so far that he can just about see your belly button is all that's needed to give the hint. Shoulders can look so sexy in a strappy top – the secret is to draw attention to your best features. If you're one of the lucky girls that 'has it all' resist the temptation to show too much skin. Subtlety is the key to man-magnetism.
6) Watch your body-language: If you act aloof, you'll very likely be left alone. Who wants to spend time with a lady who actually looks down their nose at him? Lowering your chin and looking up at a man, on the other hand, is delightfully flirtatious without being 'obvious'.
Be aware of the 'little' actions that can be oh-so-attractive: stretching a little. Straightening your clothes subtly: these are a great way to make temperatures soar without even trying!
If you're hoping to be approached by someone at, say, a party – it's best to hang out in a small group of friends near the centre of a room. If you're lucky, and the man you really like is already with you, don't adopt closed off body language such as turning away, folding your arms or crossing your legs away from him. He might not even be aware that he's reading a lack of interest into your body language, but he automatically will.
5) Be confident: It can be difficult for naturally shy girls to appear confident, so make it easy on yourself: make sure you look great and are going to stay looking that way. Clothes that might 'malfunction' exposing more than you'd planned to are a sure way to make yourself terrified in a crowd. Make sure that your bearing is upright yet relaxed and make sure you don't get started with negative self-talk. If you 'feel' insignificant, you'll probably turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy, and who wants to spend time with the insignificant girl in the corner?
4) Make eye-contact: Don't glare, don't glance and glance away – unless you glance again straight away to re-enforce the message. Eye contact is a great way of telling a man that you think he's rather sexy without coming right out and saying it to the embarrassment of everyone involved. The secret communication behind eye contact is incredibly alluring if it's applied in the right way! If you're actually talking to the man you're attracted to, then eye-contact becomes even easier and more natural.
3) Make use of the power of touch: There's no need to be all over a fellow like a bad rash, but a light touch on the hand can be electrifying. Touch brings people closer together and helps them to form a connection. Don't overdo it, but feel free to take his hand, or allow hands to brush against each other when giving or receiving some item.
2) Stay positive: You can be wearing the sexiest dress and the most dangerous stilettos, you might have oodles of confidence and everything else, but if you don't get this one right, you've lost your man. Complaining about work colleagues, about the venue, the food – anything you decide to vent about makes you bad company. Being 'bad company' is way worse than being 'dowdy' or having a less than perfect figure.
1) Make him feel masculine: Every man wants to feel respected and admired. Did you think only women care about compliments? Make him feel manly and better than other men. If you don't genuinely feel that way about him, don't even try. You should be spending your time elsewhere. Let him know that you think he's really 'cool'. Notice and comment on things that he does that you like. Even if you get everything else wrong: this one factor could be the one that gets you the man of your dreams!

Investing in income-generating real estate involves market data and a degree of subjectivity. One of the most important assumptions that a real estate investor must make when valuing properties is choosing an appropriate capitalization rate, which is the required rate of return on real estate, net of value appreciation or depreciation. Put simply, it is the rate that is applied to net operating income, to determine the present value of a property.
TUTORIAL: Exploring Real Estate Investments
Calculating with Capitalization Rate
For example, if a property that is expected to generate net operating income (NOI) of $1 million over the next 10 years is discounted at a capitalization rate of 14%, the market value of the property would be determined to be $7,142,857 (market value = net operating income / capitalization rate = $1,000,000 / .14). The $7,142,857 market value represents a good deal if the property is selling at $6.5 million and it would be a bad deal if the sale price is $8 million.
Determining the capitalization rate is one of the key metrics in valuing an income-generating property. There are several methods that investors can use to find an appropriate capitalization rate.
Market-Extraction Method
This method assumes that there is current, readily available net operating income and sale price information on comparable income-generating properties. The advantage with the market-extraction method is that the capitalization rate makes the direct income capitalization more meaningful.
Determining the capitalization rate is relatively simple here. Assume an investor is considering buying into a parking lot that is expected to generate $500,000 in net operating income. In the area, there are three existing comparable income generating parking lot properties.
1. Parking lot 1 has a net operating income of $250,000 and a sale price of $3 million. In this case, the capitalization rate is 8.33% ($250,000/$3,000,000).
2. Parking lot 2 has a net operating income of $400,000 and a sale price of $3.95 million. The capitalization rate is 10.13% ($400,000/$3,950,000).
3. Parking lot 3 has a net operating income of $185,000 and a sale price of $2 million. The capitalization rate is 9.25% ($185,000/$2,000,000).
Based on the calculated rates for these three comparable properties (8.33, 10.13 and 9.25%), an overall capitalization rate of 9.4% would be a reasonable representation of the market. Using this capitalization rate, an investor could determine the market value of the property. The parking lot investment opportunity would be valued at $5,319,149 (Market value = Net operating income/overall capitalization rate = $500,000/.094).
Build-up Method
The build-up method is slightly more complex, compared with the market-extraction method. The capitalization rate is achieved by combining interest rate, non-liquidity rate (by which it is illiquid due to the nature of real estate), recapture premium and rate of risk.
Given an interest rate of 4%, a non-liquidity rate of 1.5%, a recapture premium of 1.5% and a rate of risk of 2.5%, the capitalization rate of an equity property would be summed as 11.5% (6+1.5+1.5+2.5). If net operating income was $200,000, the market value of the property would be $1,739,130 ($200,000/.115).
Obviously, performing this calculation is very straightforward. The complexity lies in assessing accurate estimates for the individual components of the capitalization rate, which can be challenging. The advantage of the build-up method is that it attempts to define and accurately measure individual components of a discount rate.
Band-of-Investment Method
The band-of-investment method requires the most advanced calculations of the three methods. The capitalization rate is computed using individual rates of interest for properties that use both debt and equity financing. The advantage of the band-of-investment method is that it is the most appropriate capitalization rate for financed real estate investments.
The first step is to calculate a sinking fund factor. This is the percentage that must be set aside each period to have a certain amount at a future point in time. Assume that a property with net operating income of $950,000 is 50% financed, using debt at 7% interest to be amortized over 15 years. The rest is paid for with equity at a required rate of return of 10%. The sinking fund factor would be calculated as:
Interest rate / 12 months
{[1 + (interest rate / 12 months)]# of years x 12 months}-1
Plugging in the numbers, we get:
{[1 + (.07/12)]15x12} – 1
This computes to .003154 per month. Per annum, this percentage equals 0.0378 (.003154 x 12 months). The rate at which a lender must be paid equals this sinking fund factor plus the interest rate. In this example, this rate is 10.78%, or .1078 (.07 + .0378).
Thus, the weighted average rate, or the overall capitalization rate, using the 50% weight for debt and 50% weight for equity is 10.39% ([.5 x .1078] + [.5 x .10]). As a result, the market value of the property would be $9,143,407 ($950,000/.1039).
The Bottom Line
These methods are specifically designed for income-generating properties like apartment houses, commercial and industrial properties. It should be noted that these methods are not appropriate for properties that are occupied by owners. Guessing at the value of an income-generating property can lead to inaccurate assessments and failed investments. Selecting an appropriate capitalization rate increases the precision of an appraisal, and thus, the ability to choose good income-generating property investments.

- Description: I've taken some highlights from several big games of LBJ with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In my opinion, I like James more with the Cavs than the with the Heat. His highlights were much more sick and was more an team player. Now He plays most of the times with his buddy D-Wade but that's just my opinion. Let's hope he'll have anoyher incredible season and hopefully another MVP-trophy. I think we will see Thunder vs Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals and let's hope that the best may win!

One thing is clear in the aftermath of new draconian gun laws that went into effect last year -- citizens are showing their defiance and their willingness to smuggle banned guns and accessories into the states that have shown their disregard for Constitutional rights.
In previous reports the Examiner noted that major gun control advocates, progressive politicians, and mainstream media news reporters have been the recipients of standard, high capacity magazines. The initiative was coined as "Toys for Totalitarians."
But in the intervening days since the previous reports, such activity has spread and some citizens have gone even further in defiance of new state laws that hamstring the right of ordinary citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
Several reports have been received indicating that as many as 3000 of the high capacity gun magazines have been sent to various persons who pushed the bans on such magazines.
And in the wake of what gun rights activist and citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh calls a major success, more of these tactics are now underway, including the smuggling of "forbidden" guns to gun owners who live in states where the firearms control oppression has placed the jackboot to the throat of those who love liberty.
Specifically, this means New York, Maryland, Connecticut, California, and Colorado, among others.
Concerning the ongoing smuggling of guns, Vanderboegh states,
There is no doubt that the previously law-abiding folks who have now been made criminals by these tyrants will run afoul of the uniformed minions in the various states as the year progresses. There is also no doubt that we will continue to smuggle unregistered and forbidden items into these states, risking arrest ourselves. At some point, it is going to dawn on both the petty tyrants and their media toadies that there is a resistance to these unjust and unconstitutional laws. People could, and may well, be killed by the armed men they send to work their will upon us.
How this plays politically in the various states now well behind enemy lines will be interesting. The issue could very well deny at least one governor, Hickenlooper, his reelection. So there is no incentive for our side to quit. Indeed, although the Toys for Totalitarians program is over, the smuggling will continue.
The bottom line, in other words, is that citizen defiance, disobedience, and smuggling will be relentless. Gun rights activists and those who support their rights have no intention of backing off, even if it means their own demise.
Further, a major firearms company, Magpul, is pulling out of Colorado as they have been threatening to do ever since the state legislature and governor shoved unpopular gun control measures down the throats of citizens in the state.
The Washington Times reported on Saturday,
Officials at Magpul, which makes polymer firearms accessories, announced Thursday that the company will move its corporate headquarters to Texas and its manufacturing facility to Wyoming. Both are now based in Erie, Colo.
The relocation comes as a result of a measure signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper in March that limits ammunition-magazine capacity to 15 rounds. Magpul is among the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against the law.
Prior to the signing, Magpul officials told state officials that the company contributes more than $85 million annually to Colorado's economy. The company employs 200 people and supports another 400 supply-chain jobs.
Hickenlooper and Democrats in the state legislature have paid a heavy price for their unwise vote to put the firearms restrictions in place. The vote could well cost Hickenlooper the governorship, and Democrats could well lose control of both the House and Senate in the state legislature. As Vanderboegh observes,
Meanwhile, Hickenlooper is as quiet as a mouse, frightened to death that the issue will cost him the election. His poll numbers, as I reminded him in his Toys for Totalitarians letter, are none too good already.
Gov. Hickenlooper was one of the politicians to whom Vanderboegh had sent an empty high capacity magazine, which has been banned in Colorado.
Democrats in the state apparently got precisely what they wanted when they passed the gun control measures. And several among the Democratic leadership in the legislature have stated that they still do not plan on repealing or rolling back the laws they passed last year, in spite of Magpul's decision to leave the state.
As for Hickenlooper, he remains mum on the issue.

They say it only takes a small snow ball to start a large avalanche. Or a tiny spark to ignite a huge forest fire.
But what does it take to start a conversation about mental health?
What will it take to end the stigma that apparently still surrounds the topic of mental illness?
Perhaps, nothing more than a few words, such as these:
It looks like the cat is out of the bag, so I'll fill everyone in on what's been happening in my life over the past little bit. As many of you know, I have Type I Bipolar Disorder. Recently, my Lithium levels got too low and some other meds stopped working. I was having major problems with issues such as anxiety and depression. On the advice of my psychiatrist, other members of my care team, and my amazing partner, Michelle, I made the decision to go inpatient at the Dube Centre for Mental Health. I have no idea how long I'll be here; as long as is necessary to regain my health.
The author? James Ford, a resident of Saskatoon, who is now being treated for his mental health illnesses.
He has gone public with what he calls "Jae, Interrupted: The daily musings of a psyche ward resident."
Visit wordpress.com and search for it. He has been publishing his thoughts for a few days now, and the public response has been overwhelming.
People of all ages, from all walks of life and various parts of the globe, have responded with their writings of support, sympathy, and understanding.
Others have shared their own experiences. One such person is Jeffrey Stiglitz, of Bellingham, Washington. Here are his thoughts:
Depression Is (Opus One):
The slightest slight is like a pinprick so slowed down in time
you feel the pin break the first layer of skin,
then the second,
then the third,
layer after epidermal layer, thru vein and muscle, excavating with a backhoe,
pulling up tons of previous slights, building a wall with each past slight,
each wall taller and heavier until the final monolith of shame stands, begins to topple,
and falls inward knocking each slight wall before it into a cascade of pain and insecurity,
of questioning and sanity,
finally falling back on the latest slight with tsunamic force, making it THE slight,
creating a barricade of anger and fright,
crushing confidence under a wash of emotion,
burying everything in it's wake including the cries of a young child
"Please help me" "I didn't mean it" "I won't tell anyone" "I didn't know" "Why are you doing this to me?"
until the voice can no longer be heard.
Now is only the voice of shame and hurt and anger,
built over the decades,
unleashed on some unknowing and undeserving being.
jbstiglitz April 2014
Keep clicking. This conversation will continue.
And, The Dube Centre is part of the Royal University Hospital complex in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

That changed on Friday at the European Tour's Nordea Masters. Andrew Dodt, a 27-year-old Australian with one career European Tour win, was hoping that a low second round might get him inside the cut line at the Bro Hof Slott Golf Course after an opening round 77 left him well down the leaderboard.
Dodt started his second round on the par-4 10th, and after a par there, moved to the par-3 11th. Measuring 175 yards, Dodt knocked his tee shot in the hole for an ace and some good vibes for the rest of his Friday. Dodt continued to cut away at that bad opening round, adding three birdies to his outward nine, but with three holes remaining he needed more magic. He got it at the par-3 7th hole, his 16th of the day. Playing 208 yards, Dodt added his second hole-in-one of the day, meaning he might not just be buying drinks in Sweden this evening.
The numbers for an odd like this are all over the place, but one place said that an amateur has a 67 million to 1 chance of making two aces in the same round, so maybe knock some off of that because Dodt is a pro, but still, pretty incredible stuff.
According to the Golf Channel, the only PGA Tour player to ever make two aces in the same round is Yusaku Miyazato who did it at the 2006 Reno-Tahoe Open.
The crazy part is that even with his two aces, Dodt had to birdie his final hole to make the cut, which he did, posting a second round 65 that will definitely make that framed scorecard all the prettier with such an impressive score to go along with the two double-circles.

The 2011 television season seems to be worth tuning in and I've already made my schedule of 'must see shows'. I'm pleasantly surprised to see more scripted shows on primetime networks, however, we all know that by mid-season nearly half of them will be canceled *sigh*. Still, it's promising for future TV writers and actors, when film icons like Scorsese, Spielberg and Bruckerheimer are introducing fresh stories on the small screen.
Before I dive into my whirlwind of 'TV Candy', I have to pay respect again to the amazing, but short lived, talent of actor Andy Whitfield. I had hoped that he would recover and return to Spartacus, but when they replaced him in January with Liam McIntyre, I instantly knew his condition worsened. He brought a charisma to the character that will be hard to replace.
Still I love the show overall, so I'm down to give newcomer to the Spartacus role, Liam McIntyre, a real chance. Regardless, Manu Bennett is reason enough to 'tune in'. ;-)
R.I.P Andy Whitfield.
Okay, here are the Monday night shows on my radar:
HART OF DIXIE- Do not ask me why--the show trailers have not done much to impress me, so I'm not on board 100%. However, I blame my 'interest' in the show on my mama; she loves these types of stories, so I'll give it a shot. Now, I see the '360' connection with Rachel Bilson's out of nowhere chocolate commercial, which was constantly in rotatioin- is all about--build up to her new TV show? NOT! And I really want to make sure of something--is 'MAGNUM' really the name of that ice cream? I mean when I think of eating ice cream, that's the last word I want to come out of my...well anywho, Hart of Dixie premieres on the CW 9/26/11 8pm CST.
THE SING OFF: Okay, okay, I've missed a couple of seasons of this, but I adore Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, so I'll definitely be tuning in this season. The Sing Off is hosted by Nick Lahey with judges: Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman and Sara Bareilles. It airs Mondays on NBC at 7pm CST
TERRA NOVA: This premieres in a week, so HART OF DIXIE and THE SING OFF better grab me or it's 'check ya later' to both. Most likely I'll flip back and forth between shows until the winner rules out. I'm a big sci-fi and fantasy buff, so chances are Terra Nova will win my audience. Anywho, it premieres on Fox 9/26/11 at 7pm CST
CASTLE: I'm the type of person who tends to come into a show /series at it's peak, especially if its time slot rivals a show I really like. Needless to say, I'm just now jumping on the Castle band wagon --umpteen years too late huh? Oh well, I was bound to jump on that train now or later, and who doesn't like Firefly TV series / Serenity movie star Nathan Fillion? Castle airs Mondays on ABC at 9pm CST
2 1/2 MEN : Who isn't tuning in to see Ashton Kutcher? I'm not gonna 'front' [lie], Charlie is a natural in roles like that, and aside from the 'DRAMA' spinning around him in the media, he really was the only reason I tuned into that show. Catch 2 1/2's new season, premiering tonight on CBS at 8pm CST. Oh yeah, is anyone gonna watch Charlie's roast on Comedy Central tonight? Hmm, that roast happens one hour after 2 1/2 premieres, perfect timing?
2 BROKE GIRLS: 8:30pm CST, CBS -clearly the reason I'm tuning into this show is because of Kat Dennings. We'll see how long I stay tuned in.
Okay, now it's the FINALE: HAWAII FIVE-O. Yepper, I've been waiting for this season to start since the final episode of last season. Terry O'Quinn, who played John Locke in the TV series, Lost will be in it so....hmmmm- I like him as an actor, just trying to see how he fits into the cast as far as chemistry. But truthfully, I love me some, Alex O'loughlin, so I'm all up in that show. (smile).
Well those are the shows for Monday nights that I'll be checking out. If you feel me, join me on twitter for 'real time tweets' as I watch! @kankan929

#1) What movie did, Spartacus star, Manu Bennett co-star with Josh Hartnett and some blood-crazy vampires? (Hint: MovieSetting/Location- THINK of a REALLY, ICY, COLD place in the Pacific Northwest).
2) What movie did Shawn Stockman sing the song, Visions of a Sunset, for the soundtrack?

RMP background
How to comment
Navigating the draft RMP
is the process of planning for and managing access and transportation systems on public land. The BLM's travel management program supports all the different resource program goals and objectives by providing administrative access and recreational opportunities while at the same time minimizing impacts to other resources. For the D-E NCA, travel management is concurrent with the development of the resource management plan.
Note: In response to questions from the public, the travel fact sheet has been updated to more clearly identify routes that have a known problem (e.g., soil erosion, impact to an archaeological site) but that still have long-term value as part of the travel system. Under the travel management plan in the draft RMP, those routes would be initially closed and then reopened once the concerns had been addressed. The original fact sheet summed open routes and temporary closures, while this fact sheet shows both the total open routes as well as the miles proposed for this approach.
There are two types of travel management decisions considered in the draft RMP for the D-E NCA:
1. Public review of the BLM inventory data: First, we asked the public to review our inventory to ensure its accuracy. Second, we asked which routes are important to the public and why.
2. Finalizing the route inventory: Following the public meetings, the BLM reviewed comments, ground truthed routes identified by the public, and finalized the inventory.
3. Development of alternatives: The BLM developed a range of alternatives for all natural, biological, and cultural resources; resource uses; and special designations for the draft Resource Management Plan.
4. Travel management alternatives: After the resource alternatives were drafted, the BLM developed travel and transportation alternatives based on the resource objectives in the different alternatives and on public comment.
5. Draft RMP public comment period: The BLM released its alternatives for travel management concurrent with the release of its draft RMP. The public has 90 days after the release to comment on the plan and travel management.
6. Revisions for the proposed RMP: During this stage, the BLM will use the public comments received during step 5.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2 | Photo Gallery 3
Head Coach Sean Miller Quotes
On UTEP
"UTEP was a great defensive team, and sometimes that has the makings for a frustrating night. We were by far not perfect. When you have 19 turnovers you're disappointed."
"We went against a physical, big team, and we were able to really hurt them on the glass. That's a credit to us, not a discredit to UTEP. "
On the rebounding
"The one thing I liked about this game was the rebounding margin. When you beat a team 35 to 15 on the glass I think that is the single difference in the game."
On improving from the game vs. Charleston Southern
"We challenged our young frontcourt players. We were disappointed in our effort against Charleston Southern and I think we responded across the board."
On Solomon Hill and Nick Johnson
"Solomon Hill played great, as did Nick Johnson. Nick is the glue guy to our team. What he does won't always show up statistically, but he's involved in so many plays and he's such an unselfish player. There will be nights where he scores more than others, but he made plays, as did Solomon. Early in the game and when UTEP went on a run, I like the way those guys responded."
On Kaleb Tarczewski
"As a team we have to do a better job of getting the ball to Kaleb [Tarczewski]. We'll get better at that but he rebounded and was a problem for UTEP. Our size, generally speaking, was a problem for them."
On getting ready for Monday
"It was a good team win. We'll take it and learn from it like we did last game. We'll get ready to play a difficult Long Beach State team that made the tournament a year ago. We'll prepare this weekend and hopefully be a bit better in all areas on Monday."
On the crowd
"It was an outstanding crowd, it reminds me of the Pac-12 crowds. To have McKale and ZonaZoo, it makes all the difference in the world to our home-court-advantage."
Arizona Player Quotes
Freshman Forward Grant Jerrett
On out-rebounding the other team:
"Last game, we didn't get a lot of rebounds and Coach Miller got on us. We wanted to go out there and show that we can rebound."
Senior Forward Solomon Hill
On all players contributing:
"Everybody can contribute and that's what makes us special. Everybody on our team is a player, so any given night anybody can be good. Other guys are going to step up, and that's how we play as a team."
On the physical play of tonight's game:
"There were a lot of fouls. We have to watch the game film and see where our mistakes were. Coach Miller asked the refs where our fouls were at. It's just certain things we have to tweak, and one big thing is fouling the shooter. It's something we have to watch film for and take seriously. We still have to be physical, but it was a different mentality tonight against a bigger team."
Does Angelo Chol get overlooked?
"He creates a mismatch for us unlike the bruiser, Kaleb. He has the behind the rim catch like Derrick [Williams] did. He's still finding his way especially with having other bigger guys with him."
On the progress of the freshmen:
"We still have another level of play to get to but we're doing a good job at setting screens. As long as were getting better after every game, that's all you can ask for."
Freshman Center Kaleb Tarczewski
On closing off UTEP's John Bohannon:
"We really focused on him the last few days in practice because we knew he was their best player. He liked to play off the post and take a few dribbles before he took the shot. We knew that if we pushed him out of the paint we would be able to get a few steals."
On staying active on the boards:
"This is a different team than last year. We have a couple of post players who can score and we're doing a great job at getting them the ball. Not one person is going to come out and get 20 points a night. We have a deep team and everybody can play."
On tonight's game compared to the last game:
"Last game was a little tough for me. The last team was small and ran zone, so it wasn't really my type of team. Today, everybody did a great job at getting the ball to the post."
