Well we can have someonewho believes he should be a millionare because of an act of nature. Abbot goes out running after a storm, a tree weakened by the storm falls on him, so he sues the property owner for ten million, the persons insurance co. pays off. POOF instant millionare, now that he has his he favors tort reform. He is one of the elite, he is better than the rest of us, and we should never be entitled to the same things he is. Just another elietest, and a hypocrit. I would vote for a mangy dog before Abbot.

Fabulous and easy cake to do and could lend itself to flavourings if need be. I put a cream cheese frosting on mine and gave it as a gift. I doubled the recipe and that worked well and the cake was a lovely colour and very moist - highly recommend to all.
This is so easy and so yummy. The cake is very moist. We made cupcakes and donuts with this. I got 12 donuts and 12 cupcakes. Beware, the cake rises a lot, so if making cupcakes only fill half way. I am sure I will be making this cake again as it is so easy and yummy. I did cheat with the frosting simply because I was nearly out of powdered sugar when I went to make it. Thanks.

A red cent on the red planet: the story of a semi-rare 1909 coin on Mars
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), aka the Curiosity Rover is something of a robotic geologist, so it makes sense to include the tools of the trade in some form, including a calibration target. For giving a sense of scale with smaller geologic features, pennies are often used for scale, as a common item with a standard dimension. But why is there a 1909 penny on the Rover? That's thanks to Kenneth Edgett, the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) principal investigator and an amateur coin collector who appreciates the history of the controversial 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln Cent.
Greetings from the Red Planet
NASA recently announced that the latest results from NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars provide clear physical evidence that Mars once had all the conditions necessary to support life. Despite the skeptical reception given to recent news that the rover may also have found indirect evidence of organic compounds and active microbiological activity, other recent scientific results have gone even further. One Australian study from 2011 concluded, given what we know about Mars now, 3% of its total volume (as compared to 1% of Earth's) is likely habitable to known terrestrial lifeforms. And more recently, further analysis of the results of experiments performed by the 1976 Viking Lander mission suggests that we have likely detected active microbiological activity on Mars already, with one researcher going so far as to claim a 99% certainty that those earlier results detected life. (Previously).
We taught it everything we know, we did everything we could for it. But now it has to find its own path.

Ancient stream bed on Mars
Curiosity has been on Mars for 51 sol-days and today NASA announced it has found what looks like a concrete slab made up of rounded stones which is probably an ancient stream bed formed by hip-deep fast-moving water over thousands or millions of years. Observers have long hypothesized the canyons and river-like beds photographed from space were carved by water, but only now do researchers have on-the-ground confirmation for the first time.

With ZFC, is there an infinite group $G$ such that there is no non-trivial non-discrete topology on $G$ with the functions $G\times G\to G,~~ (a,b) \mapsto ab$ and $G\to G,~~ a\mapsto a^{-1}$ continuous?
There is a large literature about this, see "non-topologizable groups". These are, by definition, groups for which the only Hausdorff group topology is discrete. There are various examples, the first of which were obtained by Olshanskii and Shelah (see here for references) around 1980.
An observation is that for a group $G$, we have the equivalence between:
Shelah's example being simple, it therefore answers your question.

When to Use Pressure Points to Induce Labor: There are three main situations when you can make use of pressure points to induce labor. The very first and the most general situation is when the due date for delivery has passed and the baby is still in the womb rather than in the arms. Secondly, the gravida is in labor and wants to strengthen the contractions. Thirdly, the amniotic fluid has broken before the commencement of active labor. Make sure that you are using maternity acupressure only when your condition matches with any of the situations mentioned above. Never use it before you have completed all the stages of pregnancy and it is absolutely safe for you to deliver the baby.
Different Pressure Points to Induce Labor: If you have decided to try out the pressure points to induce labor, following are a few points specific for labor induction.
- There is a pressure point called Hoku. It lies in the webbing between the thumb and the index finger. It is exactly located at the juncture of these two finger bones. Apply pressure gentle at this point. Rubbing this point for a few minutes would stimulate contractions. Hoku, when pressed on steadily during labor, eases pain.
- The pressure point Bladder 32 is located midway between the depression in the spine and the buttocks. You can feel this point as a small dimple above the top of the buttock bend. Press the point intermittently.
- Spleen 6 is present between the ankle bone and the Achilles tendon. Rub this pressure point for about a minute. It stimulates the baby to move down into the pelvis.
- The next pressure point lies in the trapezius muscle. It is the muscle which connects the neck to the shoulder. To trace this pressure point, start with the highest point where the muscle connects to the neck. Go down approximately 2 cm below this spot. The area which feels to be the most soft is the pressure point in question. Apply light pressure to this point in small intervals.
- There is yet another pressure point to induce labor. Its exact location is in the inner side of the leg, about 5 cm above the ankle bone. Massage the area for a few minutes to strengthen the weak contractions.
- The day of delivery is very crucial. You would be naturally tensed and nervous. You can help yourself by doing a simple thing. Keep on pressing the roof of your mouth with your tongue. In this way, you would not only be able to induce labor naturally but also help yourself feel calm and relaxed.
Tips to Find Pressure Points to Induce Labor: There is a sensation felt in all the pressure points. When the pressure points are pressed, you get a feeling of light pain. Make use of this fact to trace the specific spots. You can take help of your doula or midwife to find the spots. Don't press the pressure points too hard. In case you are not able to tolerate the pain, release the pressure.
It is recommendable to use pressure points to induce labor only when All the stages of pregnancy development are over and you are completely prepared to deliver the baby. Keep in mind that not all pressure points work for every female. Do consult a gynecologist before using them for labor induction.

Two mopeds driven by Tweety and his wife, Janie Tweety, were traveling side-by-side in the right southbound lane of Deans Bridge Road when officers think the truck swerved from the left lane and hit the moped from behind, said Lt. Randal Prickett, of the Richmond County Special Operations Division. The wife's moped, which was closet to the lane shoulder, was not hit by the truck. She was taken to the hospital by car for minor scratches she got while laying down her moped on the roadside, Prickett said.
The driver of the truck, James Adams, was not injured. The accident is still under investigation and charges are pending against the truck driver and moped drivers, who are believed to be an elderly couple, Prickett said. The couple were wearing helmets.
Deans Bridge Road southbound was closed for about two hours while traffic was diverted to Old Highway 1.

Finally! Cheesecake Factory to launch first-ever kids menu
After years of operating without a formal kids menu at its restaurants, Cheesecake Factory is finally catering to little foodies.
The casual dining giant confirmed plans to launch a separate kids menu later this summer. The move would reverse a three-decade-old policy where kids have been forced to choose hefty-size meals from the "regular" menu.
The 150-unit chain, famous for serving "generous" portions from its 200-item menu, has been secretly testing a prototype children's menu in Orange County.
Restaurants offering the new menu are in Anaheim, Brea, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. (Locations)
[caption id="attachment_29549" align="alignright" width="230" caption="The kids mac 'n cheese cost $5.50 w/beverage. Portion? More than enough. Taste? Very cheesy, and good."][/caption]
That test "was positive, and now the (chain) is rolling out the children's menu starting in early August nationwide," the company. Only, a few restaurants will not be participating.
The one-page laminated children's menu offered at the Cheesecake Factory in Newport Beach includes 13 entree choices that range from $3.50 for buttered pasta to $6.95 for a quesadilla with chicken.� Each meal comes with a drink.� Depending on the meal, some items come with fries.
The news comes more than a year after The Register questioned why the Cheesecake Factory refused to offer a children's menu. The issue came up after I discovered the lack of kids options at the new Cheesecake Factory at the GardenWalk in Anaheim Resort.
Such a move seemed like a marketing misfire considering that the restaurant is near one of the county's biggest family-oriented tourist attractions: Disneyland.
[caption id="attachment_29553" align="alignright" width="228" caption="Dessert menu includes a scoop of ice cream ($1), a hot fudge sundae ($2) and (shown) a plate of strawberries w/cream ($2)"][/caption]
Back then, Cheesecake Factory marketing officials defended the policy, saying it offers plenty of� "off menu" options for kids in its near 20-page menu. Therefore, the chain felt no need to add a special kids menu.
Chain reps also said servers are trained to suggest kid-friendly meal options, a policy that has been accepted for years among loyal diners.
It's unclear what triggered Cheesecake to change its mind.
When asked last week, Mark Mears, chief marketing officer, provided the following statement:
"The Cheesecake Factory mission is to deliver absolute guest satisfaction.� As such, we have developed a new Kid's Menu to satisfy families with young children who desire specific menu items that fit their kids' unique taste and portion size requirements."
[caption id="attachment_29555" align="alignright" width="230" caption="Various options on the kids menu, including pastas."][/caption]
My take: As a parent, I'm pleased to see Cheesecake Factory provide a children's menu. It makes ordering so much easier. The options are reasonably priced, and plentiful: pizza, sliders, grilled chicken with veggies, chicken strips and various pastas.
My one criticism: I think the servers and hostesses need to be reminded that the kids menu exists.� During a weekend visit to the� Cheesecake Factory at Fashion Island, the hostess forgot to give us a kids menu when we sat down.� When I asked for one, she looked at my 9-year-old daughter and said, "Oh, she wants a kids menu?" Uh, yes. I had to ask for the menu twice before someone finally brought us one!
Tell us: What do you think? Do you believe Cheesecake Factory did the right thing, or caved in to picky parents who want cheaper, smaller meal for kids?

Andrew Weil, M.D., to Hold Series of Town Hall-Style Events Across the U.S.
New York Times Best-selling Author to Discuss Healthy Aging
August 2005: Andrew Weil, M.D., one of America's most trusted experts on health and well-being, will appear in town hall-style events in six cities this fall to discuss his forthcoming book, Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your Physical and Spiritual Well-Being (to be published by Knopf on October 18). Friends' Health Connection and Origins Natural Resources will co-sponsor the six-city tour, with additional support from Alfred A. Knopf Publishers, Whole Foods Markets, CentraState Medical Center, Ability Magazine, Changing Hands Bookstore, Joseph Beth Booksellers and Transitions Bookplace. Each event will be presented in the form of a town hall meeting, with Dr. Weil interviewed on stage, followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience and a book sale/signing. The series is part of an 18-city tour to promote his new book.
During the events, Dr. Weil will discuss the concepts presented in his ground-breaking new work, Healthy Aging. The book outlines the multi-dimensional effects of aging, and the influence of genes, gender, and lifestyle on the aging process. Its topics include: the truth about would-be elixirs of life extension; how denying the fact that we are growing older impairs healthy aging; coping with the many physical, mental and emotional difficulties that become more commonplace later in life; and how to turn aging into an impetus for spiritual development. Dr. Weil will also comment on current medical studies and discuss the most promising areas of future research.
The event is designed to be informative, practical, and uplifting. It will draw on Dr. Weil's vast knowledge of both traditional and non-traditional approaches to health and healthy living and will feature the lifestyle strategies of longevity he has observed first-hand in different cultures from around the world.
Advance tickets cost $38 and include a complimentary copy of Dr. Weil's new book (which will retail for $28). Each event will begin at 7:00 PM and will be preceded by a health and information fair (6:00-7:00 PM) spotlighting a variety of natural products. More than 1,000 people are expected to attend in each city. For reservations, call 800-483-7436 or register online at www.friendshealthconnection.org.

Thinking Critically / Edition 6by John Chaffee
Pub. Date: 10/28/1999
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company College Division
Thinking Critically teaches the fundamental thinking, reasoning, reading, and writing abilities that students need for academic success. The text begins with basic skills related to personal experience and then carefully progresses to the more sophisticated reasoning skills required for abstract, academic contexts. Thinking Critically is designed to introduce students to the cognitive process while teaching them to develop their higher order thinking and language abilities. The book has a number of distinctive characteristics that make it an effective tool for both instructors and students. Exercises, discussion topics, and writing assignments encourage active participation, stimulating students to critically examine their own and others' thinking. Thinking Critically is a proven, classroom-tested vehicle for introducing students to the thinking process and helping them develop sophisticated critical-thinking and critical-literacy abilities.
- New! Every aspect of the text has been revisited to bring critical thinking to bear on recent world events, including September 11 and response to terrorist activities.
- New! Readings and activities explore topics such as the meaning of patriotism and how journalists balance national security concerns with reporting on breaking events.
- New! More perspective-taking activities provide a global view on events in the U.S. and elsewhere.
- New! Enhanced exploration of how critical thinking can improve one's personal relationships features readings from Judith Wallerstein's The Good Marriage and Robert Wright's The Moral Animal.
- New! Updated technology material featuresincreased coverage of the Internet and evaluating electronic sources and web sites.
- New! Text-specific web site features additional exercises from the Instructor's Resource Manual, a Glossary with links to relevant web sites (including www.thinkingworld.com), and additional support material for both students and faculty.
- New! Tom Randall's Halloween Party (the Test of Critical Thinking Abilities found previously in the Instructor's Resource Manual) is now in interactive form on the student web site. It asks students to gather and weigh evidence, ask relevant questions, construct informed beliefs, evaluate expert testimony and summation arguments, reach a reasoned verdict, and view the entire case from a problem-solving perspective.
- New! Expanded treatment of arguments and fallacies features more examples.
- New! A Glossary of terms for writing and critical thinking has been added.
- High-interest readings illustrate key concepts and stimulate students to develop their thinking abilities through critical reading and written analysis.
- Practical, transferable skills focus on the major thinking and language abilities needed in all disciplines: problem solving, perceiving, forming concepts, mapping relationships, composing, reporting, inferring, judging, constructing arguments, and reasoning.

Children's Literature - Jeanne K. Pettenati J.D.Courageous men who left an indelible mark on history during their lifetimes come alive on the two discs in this audio book. And, yes, only men are included in this title, which is one in the publisher's "Junior Classics" series. Listeners travel to exotic places with the explorers Marco Polo, Captain Cook, Lewis and Clark, the astronauts on the Apollo mission, and five others. The subjects included took bold risks on their journeys to expand understanding of the world in which they lived. Children will be inspired as they learn about these men and their adventures. The narrators are adept at conveying the dangers and accomplishments of the journeys undertaken to broaden our horizons. Classical music is featured in each clip. Teachers and librarians may want to use this audio book to introduce choices for biographical subjects/reports in the classroom. It is also an excellent diversion on car trips and rainy days. Family listening will encourage discussion about the explorers and the time periods in which they lived. Total listening time is approximately 2 � hours. Reviewer: Jeanne K. Pettenati, J.D.

Re: Business Credit 101
Hi Everyone,
I am very new to the boards and have been reading through everything. But I am confused by some of the info Tuscani gave on the first page in regards to a duns number. I contacted the Eupdate number he has listed and requested my duns number which i applied for almost a year ago obviously before reading this forum. Anyway here is the response i received from the rep:
This duns number is for a duns support record, not a full file. This means full verifications have not been done to show true legitimacy; full verifications have not been done to separate you from high risk scores; no information interview has been done to build a profile of who you are as a business. This type of duns is mainly for government purposes for non-profit or disaster relief bids for contractors.
Verified DUNS: To go through verifications called the CreditBuilder there will be a fee. This will build a business profile for life. For us to validate through corporate charter or business license to show true legitimacy, validate your public records to prove you are not a high risk company, and do a full information interview to build a business profile for life. That way you can start using your duns number to apply for credit with suppliers, lines of credit with banks, insurance and work with other businesses. If a company asks for a duns number they use us. Please see these options below.
The Credit Builder is one time fee of $329, this builds a full verified report for life.
Credit Builder Plus is $499, which also allows you to add up to six trade references to show paying habits. This will also build a full report for life, plus adding references will gain a paydex score and a rating.
Credit Builder Premium which also allows you to add unlimited references for the next 6 months is $849. Also builds a full profile for life; paydex scores and estimated rating and gains more clout and more history.
Please give me a call. I am in the office from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm.
How should I proceed? Can anyone help? Thanks

Originally written on Race Review Online | Last updated 9/16/14
Isn't hard to believe the Daytona 500 is nearly upon us? It's the biggest race on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule and will once again kick of the season. Last year, we saw a great race with the return of pack racing and the first ever rained out 500. They had to return on Monday night to race in primetime and as Matt Kenseth take the checkered flag in the Great American Race for the second time. In both 2010 and 2011 two sleepers in Jamie McMurray and Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500 and showed that with a little patience and luck anyone can win this race. With how the preseason test went back in January in Daytona, these are my five sleepers who could win this year's race. Michael Waltrip Michael Waltrip didn't test down at DIS in January due to him originally not having a ride. They announced on day one though that Waltrip will pilot the No. 30 Swan Racing Toyota for the 500 in February and hope to get this team landed on the map. Team owner David Stremme who will take over driving duties starting at Phoenix in race two hired some good people for this car which in my mind can help Waltrip win. Waltrip, has two Daytona 500 victories and five total wins at DIS including the Duels. He's among the best on restrictor plates as he's led 351 laps at Daytona and if he can stay out of trouble I can see him around in the end possibly winning it. Jeff Burton If there was a winner of the test sessions in January at DIS Jeff Burton would be among them. He was among the five quickest on every session and showed he's not quite ready to walk off in the sunset yet. Burton has yet to win the Daytona 500 as his one career win in 38 starts at DIS came in the Coke Zero 400 back in the 90s. RCR always has a strong restrictor plate program and looked among the best with Joe Gibbs Racing back in January. I wouldn't be shocked to see Burton winning this race with some help and patience. Greg Biffle Like Burton, Greg Biffle was among the winner's of the test session back in January. Biffle was near the top of the speed charts and flexed his muscle as well. Also like Burton, Biffle is a race winner at DIS and his lone win came in the Coke Zero 400 in 2003. Biffle was strong in both races at DIS last season as he pushed his former teammate Matt Kenseth in both races. The duo dominated both races as Biffle pushed Kenseth to the victory in February and if not caught up in a late crash in July would have pushed him to the win again. This time it's Biffle's turn. He's the longest tenured driver with Roush and should be tough to beat in the 500. Paul Menard The biggest sleeper on this list is Paul Menard. Menard has one win in Sprint Cup and it was the second biggest race in the Brickyard 400 in 2011. It honestly wouldn't surprise me to see him do the rare feat of winning the Brickyard 400 and the Daytona 500 in his career. Menard is always very fast and racy at Daytona. He's a very underrated restrictor plate racer and without getting shuffled out of the draft or getting caught up in someone elses wreck he could have won by now. People may think I'm crazy giving a guy with zero top five finishes at Daytona in 11 starts a shot to win but I think he can do it. RCR was very strong in January and always has a good restrictor plate program. Danica Patrick This pick would be perhaps the most popular winner in Sprint Cup history. Danica Patrick winning her first start in full-time Sprint Cup action and being the first woman to win a race in NASCAR would be huge. Mix in her first win being the Daytona 500 and you have a huge story for NASCAR. It was no secret Patrick struggled to get a grasp of NASCAR racing in both the Nationwide Series and her 10 Cup starts last year. One type of track she is comfortable with though is a restrictor plate type of track. Patrick started on the pole for the Nationwide race last season and has been dominant in every race she's raced in at Daytona and Talladega. She started in the 500 last year but was caught up in a wreck on Lap 2 that wasn't her fault. That shouldn't happen this year with her starting out front. If she can make it to the end and not get caught up in someone elses problems I think she wins this race and gets the NASCAR season off with a bang. The post Daytona 500: 5 Sleepers who could win "Great American Race" appeared first on Race Review Online.

Nikita (2010–2013)
Episode List
Season 4
22 Nov. 2013Wanted
Nikita by the help of other her friends is trying to clear her name and prove her innocence and on the other side Amanda and The shop are after her.
29 Nov. 2013Dead or Alive
Nikita reunites with Michael, Birkhoff and Ryan aboard the team's aircraft command center. Michael refuses to discuss their relationship but tells Nikita she should stay with the group and let them help her clear her name. Ryan realizes Amanda is making doubles of VIPs with the Shop's help. Nikita discovers that one of the doubles is the director of the FBI, but doesn't know how to kill him without exposing herself. Meanwhile, Alex holds Sam at gunpoint and demands he return what he stole from her, but when a gang of thugs attacks them they are forced to work together...
6 Dec. 2013Set-Up
Tensions continue to escalate between the United States and Pakistan after Amanda plants evidence that Pakistan hired Nikita to kill the President. Ryan becomes suspicious of Birkhoff's increasingly odd behavior and tells Nikita and Michael that he thinks Amanda may have kidnapped Birkhoff and planted a double on the plane. An NSA official, Ronald Peller, gets under Birkhoff's skin. Meanwhile, the CIA captures Alex and questions her about her involvement with Nikita.
13 Dec. 2013Pay-Off
Jones benches Amanda and takes back the reigns of the operation. He calls Nikita and offers her and the entire team complete freedom by wiping away their identities and faking their deaths if they walk away from their mission. The team lands the plane on a secluded Pakistan air strip, but when the local drug czar and his men storm the plane and demand 10 million dollars, Nikita calls Alex for the money. After Alex pulls diamonds out of a safe deposit box to pay the insurgents, Sam sees an opportunity to recoup his losses and contemplates stealing the diamonds. ...
20 Dec. 2013Bubble
Just as Nikita is finally starting to see an end to the long war with the Shop, Ryan confesses a secret that could unravel it all. Meanwhile, Michael tries to get Nikita to accept their new circumstances as he contemplates what comes next for the two of them. Realizing Sam was planning to steal her diamonds, Alex gives him a suitcase of fake diamonds to deliver to her contact in France. Alex is surprised when he upholds his end of the bargain and doesn't take off with the jewels. However, things get messy when Sam is jumped by the loan shark he owes money to and Alex ...
27 Dec. 2013Canceled
Frustrated that MDK is still active, Nikita decides to end it her way. Leaving Michael and the team behind, Nikita takes Alex on the road to exact revenge. Nikita and Alex capture Jones and force him to reveal the names of the rest of the members of MDK. Armed with the information, Nikita goes down a dark path that may ultimately cost her soul. Michael tracks her down and must get her to surrender before the military opens fire and kills her. However, Nikita isn't one to give up on a fight, leading her to make a shocking decision.

The police
At first i thought it was a new song of the police ;-) Nice track with a lot of variation, well done!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song so nice~
Makes me smile... and now I can't stop...
I think people should make more songs kinda like this. The classical section of the audio portal is filled with all so much dramatic and tense music, which are pretty darn good, but nothing like this. Needs more happy and peaceful music... xD
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You are going to impale yourself with your own head :D
I won't. :p
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good job
Very interesting song. Very good job!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Absolutely Amazing
It sounds very professional and is nice and upbeat. Could work really well in an RPG or movie scene with relative ease, and stands on it's own pretty well to boot. : ) Well done. : )

This review is from: G.SKILL Aegis 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15Q-64GIS
Pros: It's a G.Skill?
Cons: Checked on their website for QVL and my motherboard the X99X Killer by Asrock was listed. Got the ram yesterday and spent about an hour testing it and it didn't work.
Other Thoughts: Wouldn't work at all.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - 600 MHz Dual-Thread Processor
Pros: Fast and no more renting! Got this as an upgrade tot he SB 6141. There was a delay on these since I guess after Arris acquired Motorola they were doing rebranding or something as my modem came as Arris and nothing on there said motorola. Got this for my TWC 100mb after I was told by someone that it would automatically boost my speeds. Well after registering with a Time Warner tech rep I did a speed test and I was getting over 300mb even though I'm paying for the 100mb. Great great speed and nothing bad about it.
Cons: For the person complaining about not having builtin wifi or routing... This is a cable modem. It's not supposed to have that. People buying this should know that it is just a modem and if you want routing and wireless then get a wireless router. It is always better to have those two separate anyways.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: GIGABYTE P35Xv3-CF5 Gaming Laptop 4th Generation Intel Core i7 4710HQ (2.50 GHz) 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD 128 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 8 GB GDDR5 15.6" Windows 8.1 64-Bit
Pros: Less than an inch thick gaming machine that's actually portable.
-Backlit Keys
-Number pad
-dual mSata and dual SATA
-IPS screen
-Fairly loud speakers
-Great Battery LIFE! (around 5 hours unplugged surfing the web and some light music)
Cons: -Audio issue with Win 7 (fixed though, see other thoughts)
-Loud fan noise
-Spotty trackpad
-Too much border around the display
Other Thoughts: This laptop was replacing a thick and heavy Asus ROG G75V. I dind't need one so big but I wanted one that was powerful enough for my daily work and also one that I could use for gaming. I was originally looking at the MSI Ghost series because it looked great. Then I saw this Gigabyte and that got me really hooked. First off it has a great video card and I'm able to play BF4 easily on Ultra setting ranging from 80-98 FPS in metro. SC2 is fine and smooth so no complaints here. Able to downgrade to Windows 7 and all drivers work!
The thing that bothered me was an issue with the sound. Everytime the computer screen would wake up again, just monitor power saving not computer resume, the audio would not turn on. Had to restart comp in order for it to work but sometimes it wouldn't. A quick email to gigabyte support and they told me to download the windows 8.1 64bit version of smart manager and that apparently fixed the issue. Weird that I had to download the 8.1 version and not the windows 7 version. Anyhow the other thing is the pitch of the keyboard. It's a little less pitch than I wanted but what can I say, they are cramming a lot of stuff in this less than 1 inch system.
The videocard fans can get loud when playing graphic intensive games but that's expected. If it was the 970m in here I'm sure it wouldn't be as loud but we have a 980m of a beast in here. The cooling is great as it doesn't get warm on the palm rest but the bottom center of the laptop does get warm from the videocard being used at full throttle.
The trackpad is mediocre but when gaming you would get a gaming mouse anyhow so not that big of an issue.
The plastic around the monitor is thicker than I liked but I've gotten used to it.
The sound is actually pretty good especially with the dolby settings turned on. Pretty loud for something this small.
The battery life is another thing that surprised me. Most gaming laptops barely last 3 hours when unplugged but this sucker went on for more than 5 hours on a recent plane ride while I was surfing the web and listening to music and some videos.
The keyboard is a little crammed since they added the number pad on a 15.6 but I guess that's why there is the extra border around the monitor in order to accommodate the space. Size wise it is 1 inch wider and 1 inch taller than a macbook pro 15inch if you want to get an idea of the size of this thing.
If you wanted to upgrade it is quite simple. Just remove all the screws on the bottom and voila you got access to the whole thing. 2 mSata and 2 SATA so you could put 4 hard disks if you remove the DVD drive. Also there is a caddy for you convert an ssd to fit in the dvd drive slot that comes with the laptop.
All in all I'm very pleased with this laptop and I'm sure it will be used much more than my previous gaming laptop as it serves my work and gaming purposes. Did I mention it looks really sleek? It's like a black macbook pro but for the windows user.

AbstractPrevention of the spread of nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency since the events on September 11, 2001. Gamma ray spectrometers are important tools in homeland security to check the spread of nuclear materials and weapons. Important requirements for gamma ray spectrometers used in this application include good energy resolution, high detection efficiency, compact size, light weight, easy portability and low power consumption. None of the currently available detectors meet all of these requirements. In the proposed effort, we plan to explore a wide bandgap semiconductor material, thallium bromide (TlBr), as a room temperature detector for nuclear monitoring. TlBr has high density (7.5 g/cm3) and atomic number constituents for high gamma ray stopping power, and high resistivity (>1010 Wcm) for low noise device operation. Furthermore, the material melts congruently at a modest temperature (480 ¿ C), which allows use of melt-based crystal growth approaches to produce large volume crystals. Recent results indicate that through sufficient material purification, charge transport properties approaching those of CZT can be achieved. The goal of the proposed project is to perform rigorous investigation of purification and crystal growth of this promising material to produce high performance TlBr gamma-ray spectrometers for homeland security.

New Year's Resolutions for the Best New Yorkers

Recently, we were watching John Waters's 1998 movie Pecker, which starred all kinds of great people like Martha Plimpton and Lily Taylor and Edward Furlong, before he got weird and started getting arrested and dating his manager. Anyway, as in all John Waters movies, there were about five really brilliantly funny parts in it, one of which was a game the characters played called "Shopping for Others," in which they'd go to the supermarket and sneak things into the shopping carts of fellow shoppers when they weren't looking. (Like a long phallic gourd in the cart of a mousy single woman or a stack of Depends for a smarmy dude in tight jeans, etc.) Anyway, we got to thinking: How about if, this year, we make New Year's resolutions for others? We've never made New Year's resolutions ourselves — it's weird, every year New Year's Eve rolls around, and we realize we're still kind of perfect! — but we've always felt we were missing out on that great American tradition. Not to mention, frankly, there are people that could use our assistance. So. To celebrate the great New Yorkers who make this blog possible and to help them continue their gloriousness into 2008, we've generously ginned up some resolutions for their benefit.
The Olsen Twins: Keep dating older (or at least grotesquely larger) men. We still need things to write about.
Lance Armstrong: Find someone new and hilarious to make out with in public. We hear Abigail Breslin is single.
Nello Balan: This year, you lashed out at artist Jerome Lucani for talking back when you tried to take credit for his work and model Le Call for stealing your umbrella. Next year, set your sights on bigger, awesomer targets. Like Spike Lee. Or Brooke Shields.
Anderson Cooper: Work out another body part. Sure, it's great to have huge biceps, but what news anchor has great pecs and abs? Oh, right, Thomas Roberts. Maybe you can work out with him? And maybe air that on CNN, so we can watch it?
Hillary Clinton: Get some sleep.
Bill Clinton: See above. And don't try to split it into two sentences.
Alan Cumming: Actually, like us, you're kind of perfect. Keep talking to us about your sex life.
Jimmy Cayne: Do not let those bastards push you out of your job. You're a 73-year-old cigar-chomping, pot-smoking, possible naked dancer, and Wall Street needs you. We need you.
Julian Schnabel: Last night we woke up in a cold sweat, thinking, What would New York would be like without Julian Schnabel? The answer was: It would be thin and clean and cold and artless. Which is why it's time, Julian, to really cement your legacy. The Diving Bell was a fantastic film, but we need something with a little more you in it. Do you know where we're going with this? That's right, we're talking, again, about Schneighbors. I know that a reality show is not the sort of trip you usually go on, but a show following the foibles of the aging residents of Palazzo Chupi could be your next masterpiece of the human condition. Or even better: the next Hills.
Lydia Hearst: Since it didn't work out with pointlessly famous Cisco Adler, we're thinking maybe you should start dating Zach Braff.
Zach Braff: Since it didn't work out with Arden Wohl, we're thinking maybe you should start dating Lydia Hearst. That way, when Scrubs ends and everybody forgets about you, you'll still have a career as the new Cash Warren!
Rudy Giuliani: In 2008, get a flu shot. You're never going to get the hang of this "setting an example" thing, are you?
Eliot Spitzer: It's hard to say this, because we do love you, but it's time for that really, really short haircut.
Michael Bloomberg: Shit, or get off the pot.
Jared Kushner: Stop embarrassingly and publicly horning all over Donald Trump.
Ivanka Trump: See above resolution.
Vikram Pandit: Don't let them tell you you're not good enough! You're the man now! Fire some people! Daddy loves you.
Tory Burch: You've dated Lance Armstrong, Brad Grey, and Katie Couric's ex-boyfriend, proving that fortysomething blonde socialites are the new twentysomething blonde socialites. Which means, in 2008, we have two words for you: Sex. Tape.
Kevin Sheekey: Stop fucking with us.
Gossip Girl: See above resolution, and do the opposite.
A-Rod: Stop fiddling around with different people and finally settle down with the one you were meant to be with: your wife, Cynthia. We mean settle down with her as your manager, of course. You're a ballplayer; you can sleep with whomever you want.
James Dolan: Get over Isiah Thomas. He's just not that into you.
Isiah Thomas: Run for your life.
Anucha Brown Sanders: Chase.
Graydon Carter: Write one Vanity Fair editor's letter, just one, that isn't a boringly hysterical screed against George W. Bush. Also, shut up about Christopher Hitchens's balls.
Christopher Hitchens: Just shut up.
Brooke Astor: For the love of God, un-die and slap your bitch of a son into shape!
That's all for now. See you next year, queers!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1993
Running Time: 83
Directors: John T Bone, John T. Bone
Company: Zane Entertainment Group
Cast: Joe Verducci, Crystal Wilder, Jake Steed, Peter North, Cumisha Amado, Micki Lynn, Deidre Holland
Critical Rating: A 1/2
Genre: Feature
Deidre Holland owns a bar on a block where crooked cops Jake Steed and Terry Thomas have been extorting money for "protection". But Deidre is secretly Jake's girlfriend and he's been giving her back his half to return to the merchants. Enter FBI agents. Micki Lynn speaks only Swedish and proves she can't act in any language. Logically, the story makes no sense and is neither dramatic nor funny.
Deidre has two scenes, the opener with Jake (and it's a good one) and a badly shot girl/girl with Cumisha (formerly Mara Amado). Crystal has a furious bout with Peter North, who is recruited by the feds to rat on his fellow officers. Other than these few bright spots, this was a pretty disappointing effort from Mr. Bone, who has done much better.

Where Can Peace Be Found? (Paperback)
Widely recognized as one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the twentieth century, Jiddu Krishnamurti taught that in order for there to be peace in the world, we must each first make peace with ourselves. No spiritual path, leader, or personal or political philosophy will guide us in this endeavor, he said; this transformation of the human psyche is a truth that each of us must discover within.
Here, Krishnamurti teaches that the war and destruction human beings wreak on each other and the environment are caused by our misplaced attachment to a sense of self and individuality that leads to aggression, competition, greed, and conflict. When we recognize that our consciousness is not individual but common to all humans, we can work together in a spirit of cooperation and compassion. Krishnamurti shows that taking personal responsibility for our actions and reactions—in our relationships and in our lives—is the necessary first step toward a global view.
About the Author
Jiddu Krishnamurti lived from 1895 to 1986, and is regarded as one of the greatest philosophical and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. He was first discovered by the Theosophists on a beach in South India in 1910 at the age of 13 and was educated to be the new World Teacher for the ages. Then he took an extraordinary turn. In 1929, at one of the enormous annual European gatherings of the Theosophists in Holland, he announced his decision to step down from any formal role to promote him as a World Teacher, resigned as figure head of the Theosophists, and cut all ties to any notion of a religious or spiritual organization.Krishnamurti claimed no allegiance to any caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. His purpose was to set humankind unconditionally free from the destructive limitations of a conditioned mind. For nearly sixty years, he traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life in 1986 at the age of 90. He had no permanent home, but when not traveling, he often stayed in Ojai, California, Brockwood Park, England, and in Chennai, India. In his talks, he pointed out to people the need to transform themselves through self knowledge, by being aware of the subtleties of their thoughts and feelings in daily life, and how this movement can be observed through the mirror of relationship.
Praise For…
"Krishnamurti is one of the greatest philosophers of the age."—H. H. the Dalai Lama
"Few modern thinkers have integrated psychology, philosophy, and religion so seamlessly as Krishnamurti."—Publishers Weekly
