Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future that…
by Daniel H. Wilson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An amusing, tongue in cheek look at icons in classic science fiction and how close modern technology has come to achieving them. The design is quite cool, with heavy paper, blue sides and a sci-fi blue, black and silver cover. But in the end, it's still just waiting room material.
If you are looking for a quick and quirky read then "Where's My Jetpack" is for you. Have you ever wondered where all those marvellous future inventions that were promised to you as a child have got to? Well this is a funny but factual account of progress so far (or lack of) on many gadgets and machines comic books and science fiction once assured us were just around the corner. Written by Daniel H. Wilson this book covers everything from robot pets to space lasers to teleportation. Having a PhD in Robotics you can be pretty sure he has a firm grasp of the subject material (at very least the robotics elements) and his research has obviously been wide. You may be surprised to read how much progress has been made on some pretty fantastic science and you will almost certainly find Wilson's humorous style entertaining. In the nicest way possible I would compare his writing to that of many writers of men's magazines, such as FHM. If you try this book and enjoy it keep a look out for another of Wilsons books, "How to survive a robot uprising".
put it down, forgot to pick it up again. Interesting but not so great. Some of these contraptions i never even considered (even though i am a bit of a scifi fan. Some weren't quite informative enough. What has actually been developed is intrigueing though.
Shorter and more blurby than I was expecting. Like blog entries, go figure. Clearly-explained science for us non-science folks, with a nice sense of humor. Fun random factoids that are handy at parties.
We live in the 21st-Century, that magical century heralded in the past century as The Future, yet The Future has been somewhat disappointing. Where's my jetpack? : a guide to the amazing science fiction future that never arrived (2007) by Daniel H. Wilson recounts all the great inventions promised to an eager public by science fiction, comic books, World's Fairs, and documentaries that seemingly have never come to pass. Wilson goes through several of these fantastic devices and describes what advances have actually been made and tells how several of them actually exist. Albeit in less than fantastic guises or far to expensive/exclusive for the general populace. Here are some of my favorites:
The jetpack, which works, just not for very long due to fuel limitations.
The zeppelin which once sailed elegantly through the sky until the Hindenberg disaster, but may be making a return.
Teleportation which is possible with particles if not with human beings.
Underwater hotels: one exists but it's not very luxurious. More luxurious hotels are in the works.
Anti-Sleeping pills are available under the brand name Provigil (I'm tempted to get a prescription).
The Space Elevator is theoretically possible and Wilson suggests we submit our plans to the Spaceward Foundation and win a prize (Hey, there's a space elevator blog too!).
And a Moon Colony? It's in the works!
This is a fun little book with a good mix of science and humor that will appeal to anyone's inner geek.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0747582866, Paperback)It's the twenty-first century and let's be honest - things are a little disappointing. Contrary to every World's Fair prediction, every futuristic ride at Disneyland and the advertisements on the last page of every comic book, we are not living the future we were promised. By now, life was supposed to be a fully automated, atomic-powered, germ-free Utopia, a place where a grown man could wear a velvet spandex unitard and not be laughed at. Where are the ray guns, the flying cars, and the hoverboards that we expected? What happened to our promised moon colonies? Our robot servants? In "Where's My Jetpack?", roboticist Daniel H Wilson takes a hilarious look at the future we always imagined for ourselves. He exposes groundbreaking technology, spotlights existing prototypes and reveals drawing-board plans. You will learn which technologies are already available, who made them, and where to find them. If the technology is not public, you will learn how to build, buy, or steal it. If it doesn't yet exist, you will learn what barriers stand in the way of making it real. With thirty entries spanning everything from underwater hotels to self-contained skyscraper cities, and superbly illustrated by Richard Horne ("101 Things to Do Before You Die"), "Where's My Jetpack?" is a fascinating, one-of-a-kind look at the world that we always dreamed of and that we're still waiting for.

Offers a whimsical look at the science behind the great inventions and technology that still do not exist, covering everything from teleportation to self-contained skyscraper cities, hoverboards, and moon colonies.

Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks
Futuremark 3DMark05
This is what you could expect to see considering that 3DMark uses a resolution of 1024x768 without FSAA by default. The GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB is only slower than the ATI Radeon HD 3870 and by a very narrow margin, too.
The outcome of the gaming tests run at higher resolutions with 4x FSAA is more true to life. The WinFast PX8800 GTS 512MB is far ahead of the GeForce 8800 GTX at low resolutions but feels limited by its lower memory subsystem performance at higher resolutions. Anyway, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB seems to be a worthy successor to the GeForce 8800 GTX.

Alise Smith: Plaxico Burress' victim finally sees the money (photos). Alise Smith is a woman who sued NFL player Plaxico Burress back in 2008 after he rear ended her with his Mercedes Benz.
According to the official report, discussed in this TMZ article, the football player had just signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008 when the incident occurred and he ended up loosing his driving privileges.
His license was suspended after failing to pay up the steep fine. Finally last year he was ordered to pay $159,000 to Alise Smith. According to reports he had not paid any money to her.
The DMV suspended Plaxico's license and the court ordered him to sell his mansion in Virginia Beach to settle the matter. The original settlement amount was $125,000. The victim claimed he has injured her during the crash.
As far as the sale of the 3,540 square foot home, he reportedly got $480,000 after selling it on his own to avoid it going up for auction on April 23rd.
Alise Smith was 27 years old at the time of the accident and is believed to be from Pembroke Pines, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Plaxico has not had very good luck. He also made headlines in 2008 after shooting himself in the thigh with his own gun.
At this point the license has been reinstated and so it appears that Plaxico can put this whole incident behind him and move on with his career. Alise's lawyer has filed papers acknowledging this fact.
Are we ready for some football?

There is a new book in Canada called Lawyers Gone Bad which is causing a controversy within the law talking trade:
Lawyers Gone Bad features the story of about 20 disgraced lawyers who faced disciplinary action for offences ranging from overbilling to sexual offences against children, to hiring thugs to beat up clients. In the past week, the Canadian Bar Association's head office received upwards of 200 fuming emails and phone calls and the regional offices have also been inundated with irate solicitors baying for both Maclean's and Slayton's blood. He's been the subject of choice at law firm water coolers across the country, and the featured hot topic on the city's legal blogs. Since Monday, the Canadian Bar Association, the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association have each issued scathing statements condemning Slayton's book and the magazine article – particularly the cover, which boasted five would-be lawyers labelled "I sleep with my clients," "I take bribes" and "Justice? Ha!"Lawyers get particularly prickly about these kinds of things but this author is a former dean of law school and former a senior practitioner on Bay Street in Toronto. Here is my take:
- Law is very funny (not ha-ha) stuff. Unless you are rich and seeking preventative guidance, for most people being involved with law and lawyers means you have to spend masses of money to get you out of the greatest crises of your life. Of course you will be unhappy.
- Practicing law is often no fun. Most lawyers earn a middle class living and deal with unhappy people going through the greatest crises of their lives. Many times you will not fix the problem so much as guide to a best resolution. People want you to fix the problem - get the charges dropped, make the deadbeat like he was when you met him, make it like it was before the accident. Can't do it. Lawyers often think they can do more than they can actually do.
- I have been exposed to an inordinate number of lawyers under discipline caused by things from recourse to alcohol to congenital thievery to simple ignorance. The system does not weed these people out as aggressively as people might wish. They hurt peoples lives.

Dutch and British block IMF loan to Iceland
Dutch finance minister Wouter Bos and his British colleague Alistair Darling are blocking a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Iceland until it agrees to pay back citizens the money they deposited with the bankrupt Icelandic bank Icesave.
The Dutch finance ministry declined to comment on the claims, which were made by Icelandic members of parliament, because of on-going negotiations on a payback scheme.
About two billion euros from the Netherlands was put into accounts at Icesave's parent company Landsbanki. Of this, 1.6 billion euros came from private citizens. The British government has set aside about one billion euros for the 230,000 British citizens who have lost their savings as a result of the collapse of Icesave.
Iceland's prime minister Geir Haarde on Thursday said that the IMF loan and the finding of a solution to reimburse Icesave clients "are two separate things" and that they should not be linked.
The blockade came to light when members of the Icelandic parliament attending a meeting in Brussels heard that European Union countries on the IMF board would not approve the loan until the issue of reimbursements to Icesave customers was solved.

The Blade's Pages of Opinion are to be commended for their yearlong series about the opiate epidemic in Ohio, as well as their support for more and better treatment options ("Opiate epidemic exacts deadly toll across Ohio; Time to find, enact remedies is now," Feb. 16). But there is the danger of overlooking a more insidious and costly plague: alcoholism.
The monetary damage from alcoholism and alcohol abuse is astounding, but the cost in ruined and damaged lives is incalculable. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers found that in 2006, excessive drinking cost the national economy $223.5 billion in lost productivity, health care, legal costs, and vehicle crashes. It's impossible to quantify the human cost to families, friends, and alcoholics themselves.
Alcohol is a drug, and should be treated as such. The greatest danger is that its use is not only accepted in our society, but also is often celebrated and encouraged.
Narcotic and heroin addiction has grown to a point at which many, if not most, of our citizens are affected, and overdose deaths are becoming rampant. But it would be a disservice to ignore the much larger population of alcohol addicts who die prematurely in far greater numbers. They need and deserve inclusion in any effort to deal with substance addiction and abuse.
I applaud you in your continuing efforts to find answers to the heroin problem, but I also urge you not to ignore the often unseen alcohol addiction right under our noses.

Man convicted in 1991 US temple slayings
By Brian Skoloff, AP
January 25, 2014, 12:03 am TWN
PHOENIX--A jury on Thursday returned guilty verdicts against a man charged in the 1991 killings of nine people, including six monks, at a suburban Phoenix Buddhist temple.
Johnathan A. Doody was 17 when he was accused of participating in the slayings at the Wat Promkunaram temple.
He was found guilty in 1993 and sentenced to 281 years in prison. But an appeals court threw out his conviction in 2011 after ruling that investigators improperly obtained his confession.
Doody's second trial ended in October with a mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict. His third trial began Dec. 4.
Throughout, Doody has maintained his innocence.
Jurors deliberated for five full days before finding Doody guilty on Thursday of nine counts of first-degree murder and 11 armed robbery and burglary charges. The jury foreman says jurors debated the truthfulness of testimony from the man authorities said was his accomplice.
Sentencing is set for March 14. He faces multiple life sentences.
Doody's father rested his head in his hands after the verdict was read, overcome with grief, his eyes welling with tears.
He believes in his son's innocence and had hoped to take him home to start a new life.
"I'm just at a loss for words," Brian Doody said while sitting in the courtroom gallery. "I just don't understand."
Barb Heller, a friend of some of the victims and a spokeswoman for the temple, said they are glad the case is finally over and that Doody will remain in prison.
"To us, it just proves everything we knew, and justice was served twice," Heller said. "But it doesn't bring back the victims."
The verdict brings an end to a bizarre case that saw three trials over about 20 years on the same charges.
Allesandro "Alex" Garcia pleaded guilty in the case and was sentenced to life in prison in exchange for his testimony and a promise that prosecutors wouldn't seek the death penalty.
During the retrials, Garcia described for jurors how the crime was Doody's idea, aimed at stealing about US$2,600 cash and valuables from the monks.
Garcia said he tried to persuade Doody not to kill the victims after the robbery, but Doody was determined to leave behind no witnesses.
Police found the stolen items at Garcia's house, where Doody was staying at the time.
Doody's brother and mother were members of the temple, but neither were there the night of the shootings.

A light breakfast of tacos de nana, or the meat of the pig uterus
I've been fascinated with tacos de nana ever since my friend Jesica told me about them months ago. We were playing dominoes and everyone was a little tipsy, and the conversation drifted to all the weird things you can stick in tortilla here.
"Uterus?" I'd sputtered. "Uterus tacos?" My taco universe suddenly opened up. God had tipped his cards, and they were covered in gooey pictures of pig parts.
Interestingly, no one else seemed as excited as me. (This is starting to become a trend.) But then a few months later, I was chatting with Jesica's business partner Martha, who mentioned that she had a carnitas taquero de confianza in Del Valle.
The concept of "confianza" is uniquely Mexican. It basically means trust, and it's used in all sorts of situations. It's important to have a cleaning lady "de confianza." A locksmith "de confianza." A plumber "de confianza." I've even seen bakeries advertising themselves to be de confianza. I'd never heard of a taquero de confianza, but it made sense, and I begged Martha to let me go with her next time she trekked down to Del Valle.
So it came to be that last Sunday, the morning I was sweating away on my hamburger buns, Martha invited me out for a carnitas tacos breakfast. (Fried meat en la mañana — this is how Mexicans roll.) She drove me to the Mercado Lázaro Cárdenas in Del Valle.
It was about 10 a.m. and the mercado was mostly empty. A few women in checkered smocks sat out front in plastic chairs, tending to a flower stand. We walked inside, past empty stands selling fruits and vegetables, dried chiles. We turned a corner and there it was: a small restaurant with a sign reading "Ricas Carnitas y Desayunos."
The place already had a line for table service, but we ignored it, because Martha never gets a table. Instead we walked straight up to the glass case stuffed with pig parts.
"This is Jorge," Martha said, introducing me to the smiling man — and quite skinny, for a carnitas vendor — behind the counter. "Jorge, tell her. Haven't we been coming here for a long time?"
Jorge related how Martha's family had been customers for more than 70 years, since before the market was even built. Martha's grandmother's sister, in fact, discovered the place as a newly married woman who'd moved to Mexico City from the Yucatán. The stand has been there since at least 1935, Jorge said.
Martha, who used to eat 10 tacos in one sitting here as a kid — lately, she tops out around four — said she never actually orders specific kinds of tacos. She just lets Jorge choose whatever he wants.
"Is that okay with you?" she asked me.
Was that okay with me? I was living a dream. I think at this point my pupils had been replaced by two stars.
Jorge grabbed a few pieces of meat from inside the case, sliced them thinly and began chopping on a tree-stump like cutting board behind the counter. He chopped them so finely, they were almost minced. Then he sprinkled the meat in a corn tortilla hot off the comal, and drizzled on some salsa verde. He placed the tacos on two small plates, each lined with a square of paper.
"Trompa and lengua," he announced. Snout and tongue.
Martha dug in. I did too, but not before wondering whether I would hate the tongue because of its bumpy texture.
Turned out I needn't have worried. The meat was chopped so fine, I couldn't really discern any strange textures. Only a slight meatiness of the tongue, and a smidge of fattiness from the trompa. And anyway, the seasoning had enveloped my brain: slightly tangy, salty. It married perfectly with the bright green salsa. I gobbled mine up in minutes, before I even had a chance to take a picture. So I got some of the glass case instead.
Next up: higado. I didn't realize liver tacos were part of the carnitas oeuvre — nor did I know I even liked liver, until I tasted Jorge's. He took a chunk of liver from the case and again, sliced it thinly. He added some cuerito, which are bits of fried pig skin. Then chop chop chop, toss meat on tortilla, drizzle with salsa. Fold and place in front of two hungry girls.
The liver had a stronger, gamier taste than the trompa/lengua combo, but it was gentler somehow. It did not have the table-pounding, "I am liver!" taste of liver and onions. This was beach-side liver. Liver you'd eat while sitting under an umbrella, curled up with a good book. I liked the contrast between the two tacos that came before it.
Next: the tacos de nana, my reason for coming. The meat sat in a big olla, under the glass. Most people would try not to look at it, but I wanted to take a picture. (As a sidenote, I also don't get grossed out during the human-anatomy operating scenes on TV.) Martha asked a woman behind the counter if she wouldn't mind, and so the woman took the camera and snapped this.
Once chopped up, the nana looked innocuous enough. I thought it would be like tripa — the thick, rubbery sheet that's cubed and often eaten in menudo — but it wasn't. The fatty parts were about the thickness of a fingernail. And they clung to bits of meat. It tasted even milder than the lengua, but blanketed in the same seasoning and salsa.
"How are they?" Martha asked.
I could only nod and widen my eyes. Then I ate the rest of my nana.
Lastly, we ordered a "sesadilla" — a mix of brains and chicharrón, which are crispy fried bits of pig skin. (Chicharron is cuerito, but deep fried, so that the skin has a fluffed-up appearance.) I'd had brains before, at Bar Belmont in Colonia Juarez and Cafe Tacuba. These brains were a bit different, though. They were creamier. I asked Jorge how he prepares them, and he said he whisks them in order to give them a softer texture. (He also said some other stuff I didn't understand.)
The sesadilla was completely different than all the other tacos Martha and I had tried — it was so creamy and gloppy, with a meaty, kind of sour taste. I tried not to think of the words "sour brains" as I ate, and instead of something nicer, like pudding.
We ate four tacos each, and I had an orange-tuna fruit juice. Martha got two sodas. Total price was about $10.
We left feeling full, but not like we had to roll ourselves out the door. For some reason I felt like I'd eaten a light breakfast. Maybe it was because the meat was chopped so fine. Or maybe… part of me, the gustatory part, is actually becoming a little more Mexican.
A girl can hope.

The trick to keeping your cool while hosting is to do what you can in advance. Here's a list of what freezes — and what doesn't. Remember: Always cool cooked food completely before wrapping and freezing. To cool a batch of something such as soup, place the pan of hot food in a sink with ice water.
• Baked goods. Cakes, including frosted ones; cookies and brownies; breads; rolls; quick breads and muffins.
• Fruit-filled pies. They can be frozen baked or unbaked.
• Baking supplies — butter, nuts, chocolates and specialty flours such as rye or whole wheat.
• Eggs. You can freeze lightly beaten whole eggs removed from their shells. Unbeaten egg whites can be frozen. Egg yolks get gummy; stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon sugar or corn syrup for every four yolks, label and freeze.
• Cooked eggs that include yolks and whites — such as scrambled eggs.
• Unbaked casseroles. They can go straight into the oven without thawing; just add 10 to 15 minutes to the baking time.
• Meat, fish and poultry, raw or cooked. Just ensure that the package is sealed tightly. Raw meat will keep longer than cooked. Remember that the length of time meat can be stored is important for quality, not safety: An uncooked turkey in its original wrapper can be safe for years but will eventually suffer from freezer burn.
• Cooked rice and pasta. If it's frozen with a sauce, it will absorb much of it by the time it's reheated.
• Tomato- or broth-based sauces and gravies.
• Vegetables prepared for freezing (most need to be blanched in boiling water, then shocked in cold water). Vegetables and fruits will be soft after thawing, but the difference isn't noticeable when they're cooked.
• Fruit. Most can be frozen without sugar for a few months, although you need to use syrup or sugar to freeze longer.
• Cooked beans.
• Milk. It might separate and will need to be shaken. Make sure you remove some from the container to allow for expansion.
• Eggs in the shell
• Boiled eggs, such as diced, cooked egg whites or filled deviled eggs
• Raw potatoes
• Sauces thickened with cornstarch
• Gelatins
• Watery vegetables (lettuces, celery, radishes and cucumbers)
• Meringue toppings or egg white-based frostings
• Custards and cream puddings
• Mayonnaise
• Egg-based sauces such as hollandaise, which will separate
• Cheeses. Hard cheeses will become more crumbly, but you can freeze them if you're planning to grate them (or freeze pre-grated). Soft cheeses such as cream cheese or Brie can't be frozen.
• Soups. Broth-based soups freeze well; cream-based soups don't. Soups with cooked rice or pasta will freeze; soups with potatoes will darken or get an off taste.
• Potatoes. Raw potatoes will turn dark or change taste. Potatoes boiled alone or in a broth-based soup might change flavor or texture. Potatoes mashed with butter and milk will freeze fine, although they might be watery when thawed.
• Cream- or cheese-based sauces. Most, such as bechamel, will freeze, although they might

A fixie with gears? Yep, public pressure has persuaded Sturmey Archer to come back out with their three speed fixed wheel hub.Get used to the 'many clashing colours' look. It's all the rage these days.The Felt Compulsion - now 150mm travel with 1.5 degree slackened off the head tube for proper 'big bike' performance.The Felt Virtue One - 25.5lb of XC fun - with redesigned tubing, an integrated gusset and some slick graphics.We can't help but love that graphic that goes right over the rocker. The company that applies the decals reckons they can only do five in a day as it's so complicated. And if you wonder why Felts now look quite snazzy, it's because they've poached the graphics guy responsible for the fantastic Lapierre range.Another look at the Yeti ASR 5 - which we first showed you in our Eurobike coverage. A five inch XC bike? Or a light all mountain machine? Up to you.Salsa's new drop bar for 'cross and adventure bikes - super wide (the flat bit is 46cm) with a really short drop, it should find many fans. It's called the Woodchipper and comes in normal and oversize.Not a new Surly Endomorph tyre (though there is one of those) this is actually a 24in monster cruiser tyre fitted front and rear to a normal Surly 1x1. They did say they were versatile machines, didn't they?Spotted on most of the Intense bikes - an SLX level direct mount front derailleur. Now you have a choice.Now that's a pretty carbon seatstay. And it's from Titus.Titus has a load of new colours and this completely new X-Carbon. 4in travel and a 4.8lb frame/shock in MediumThe full Titus X-CarbonThe Titus FTM was introduced last year - how about this brand new Titanium one?Chipps says he'll fight anyone who doesn't think that this matt/polish finish isn't gorgeous. (He's suffering a bit from the desert heat, don't mind him...)To our knowledge (feel free to prove us wrong) this is the first flared 1 1/8th-1.5in headtube that's been done in titanium.Another flared tube, this time on the Carbon Ftm - still with 5in of travel.Internal cable routing...Moulded-in logos - it's the little things...Under down-tube rock bash plate for the carbon.The full FTM carbonThe same Ibis Mojo HD that we brought you from Eurobike. It's been stripped of its Stars and Stripes decals and remains a proto, though we're off to see Lopes' World Champs bike in the show hall tomorrow to see how they differ.A detail that was hard to make out in our Eurobike coverage - the back end of the 160mm Ibis Mojo HD has a Maxle rear axle.Just for Singletrack member bent_udder - a shot of the Kona Magic Link Cadabra bike up close. The bikes at Eurobike were bolted to backings with the drive-side outwards, so it was impossible to get in close. Here you are!Smith Optics have some really great lens tints coming out for next year - oh, and they sponsor the current World Mr Peat ChampionChopper aka Greg Randolph with the new gold mirror Serpico shades.

I wouldn't call that top bike's colours clashing. Pretty subtle and classy compared to the CMYK trend which seems to have hit hard.
Bream said on September 24, 2009
Is that Sturmey Archer three speed hub really a fixed wheel hub, or three speed freewheel hub?
zangolin said on September 24, 2009
Seems to be – see here for more info:
SX3 Fixed Hub – no release date I can find more pics here:
S3X Fixed Hub – no release date I can find more pics here:

Wow – I'm flattered! Cheers for going the extra mile. Great shot. 🙂
nickc said on September 24, 2009
Oh great, now I "need" all of those Titus bikes…
Ben_Haworth said on September 24, 2009
Bream – yep, 3 fixed speeds. They had it on display at London Cycle Show last year iirc.
pjbarton said on September 24, 2009
fight anyone who doesn't think it isn't gorgeous?.. so that's anyone that does think it is gorgeous?.. is that right? i'm confused

What is going on with that magic link? madness!
brakes said on September 24, 2009
I've started saving for an IBIS Mojo HD already…
Ed-O said on September 24, 2009
Another Woop for the Mojo HD, especially as it's got a rear Maxle. I imagine that it's one very cool bike.

Except that it wasn't his name.
The word Tepes literally means "Impaler" in Turkish, but the researchers see it as a Romanian to Italian pun because in Italian Thebes is "Tebe," which if you squint is sort of like Tepes. Of course in Romanian Thebes is "Teba" and in Hungarian "Theba," both from the Latin "Thebas," but that ruins everything—as does the fact that the Tepes nickname wasn't used in his lifetime. Vlad would never have called himself Dracula Tepes ("Little Dragon the Impaler") since "Tepes" was, obviously, an insult.
Worse, Dracula wasn't a count, as Glinni should have known. Vlad was in fact voivode of Wallachia, equivalent of a prince. Even Bram Stoker got that right in Dracula. Dr. Van Helsing announces that the man masquerading as a "count" in modern times "must, indeed, have been that Voivode Dracula who won his name against the Turk, over the great river on the very frontier of Turkey-land."
Glinni also identified Dracula's family as the "House of the Carpathians," confusing the mountains of Transylvania with the Draculesti family of Wallachia.
The BS Historian has an excellent breakdown of the many different ways the story makes no sense and the complete lack of historical evidence to support the claims. Among the highlights:
- The story originates with Italy's version of Ancient Aliens, called Mistero ("Mystery"), which ran an episode in 2012 alleging on the authority of Glinni that Dracula had a secret daughter not found in any official historical documentation. He claimed at the time that Dracula was buried in the Acerenza Cathedral, which he claimed had a gargoyle that was really Lilith, the first vampire.
- Glinni also believes Dracula was actually a vampire, since he identified a bas relief of an old man as Vlad III based on pointy vampire teeth.
- Maria Balsa was the wife of an Italian member of the Order of the Dragon, and of Slavic origin, but there is no documentary evidence that she has any relationship to Vlad III, who is recorded as having sired only sons. She was the wife of Giacomo Alonzo Ferrillo, Count of Muro, and she was responsible for renovating the Acerenza Cathedral in 1524.
Now since Vlad is thought to have died in 1476 according to conventional history, and his "daughter" didn't get around to renovating churches and building crypts until the 1520s, we have almost five unaccounted for decades. Vlad's son was born around 1460, and any alleged daughter would likely have to have been born before his captivity in Hungary (1462), or else she would have been too young after his release in 1474 to have known him at all before his final defeat in 1476, let alone to ransom him that year. That would mean that Maria would have been 62 when she was renovating Acerenza, which doesn't seem in accord with Italian records.
Now, I can do the BS Historian one better and tell you exactly what is on the so-called Dracula tomb at Santa Maria Nuova. The image you see is the crest of the Ferillo family, specifically the arms of Matteo Ferrillo, Count of Muro, the father of Maria Balsa's husband. As described in Arthur Charles Fox-Davies's Art of Heraldry (1904), Matteo Ferrillo's arms were as follows, taken from his known tomb site:
Arms of Matteo Ferrillo (Conte de Muro), from his monument in the Monastery S. M. la Nuova in Naples (end of fifteenth century): Argent, a chevron, and in chief three mullets gules. Crest: a dragon's head and neck, with wings addorsed.
There you have it. The tomb is that of a known Italian noble, with recognized arms. Just to put a nail in the coffin, so to speak, on the same page Fox-Davies gives two more examples of Italian nobles who also had nearly identical dragon's head arms on their tombs: Buffardo Cicinella of Florence (died 1455) and Ludovico de Caccialupo of Bologna (died c. 1451)—both before Dracula's death. It was not a unique or secret symbol.
It took me less than five minutes to discover this.
Screw you Italian mystery-mongers and lazy British newspapers.

Consider an interval from a to b that we want to show is closed. Given that the interval is bounded and non empty, we know it must contain a supremum. Now we want to show that there exists a max, which will necessarily be the supremum prove that half of the interval is closed i.e. (a,b].
Anyone know how to do so?
Prove. Let F[a,b]-->R be a continuous function on a compact interval then the set of values of {f(x)|a<=x<=b} has a max and a min.
I know there exists a supremum and infinimum, now I need to show there exists a maximum -- which would be one of my endpoints. Then, repeat the process for a minimum.
Can anyway please generalize this property for me? My teacher hinted that it would be on our midterm, but not in the context of continuity..? He just said he would give us a set and we would know that a supremum existed, and that we would have to show a max existed. Ideas anyone?
Just to clear things up this makes sense right?
Given a bounded non-empty set then a by the completeness property.
Now take a sequence such that Then by Bolzano Weierstrass there exists a subsequence But converges so by the subsequence theorem we have
Thanks everyone.

Very nice staff, beautiful hotel--very historic.
That it was right just within walking distance of the city centre. The street was very quiet. Breakfast is really good. Personnel friendly and helpful.
We chose this hotel for its location, near to Central Deventer (simple bus ride). Good car parking. Reputation of having a good restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Good value.
The "superior" room was disappointedly a little basic, but clean and functional.
Staff were friendly
The kindness of the owners, the breakfast variety, the confort and space of the room and the general sense of being at home.
nice idea with rooms in different style, owner very friendly
part of overall holiday experience pleasant to come back to after day away
breakfast could do betterfor quality and choice
Location. Friendly, helpful staff. Good parking facility.
Price of buffet breakfast ridiculous at €20
Perfect location by the main square and all the places of interest as well as shops. Nice restaurant in the hotel.
refligerator in room would be nice.
Location, breakfast, staff service
Beautiful river views and 5 minute walk to city center.
4 day laundry service, too long.
space of the room, facilities like pantry and free use of everything in the room, gooed breakfast
I was not able to arrive befor 10 p.m. and that caused some trouble.
Highly recommended. The service we received was outstanding, the room was not large but extremely comfortable. Right in the middle of shopping area but not noisy. We would not look at staying anywhere else while in Deventer
good location - unusual quaint lodgings
The bedroom was small and a little cramped and as the weather was very hot we felt the lack of air-conditioning
Here's why:

Let's talk sales. It's all too easy to look at the December NPD numbers and come to a bunch of conclusions about the current state of the various game console manufacturers and publishers simply based on sales. While sales are important – you can't make money without people spending money on your stuff – they're also not the end all be all indicator of how things are doing.
The goal of sales is to accrue profits, yes, but the best way to ensure profits not just in the short term but in the long term is to work more on creating a system of value exchange between you and your customers. To put it another way, you don't just want to grab as many customers as you can. You want to grab the ones that you'll be able to hold onto and continue to do business with for years to come.
It's tempting to look at the diminished sales volume of Wii U compared to Wii and GameCube, both in the hardware and software department, and conclude that Nintendo's in dire straits. But the fact that Nintendo's decided to focus on highlighting their increased Wii U revenues tells us something different: they see the situation as actually favorable. And judging by the fact that Nintendo's stock prices have actually climbed in light of this news, that's something we should look at more closely.
The talk of revenues should send up a flag for anyone who's studied marketing. Nintendo's highlighting their revenues because they see the current Wii U customers as delivering high value for the company in the form of those extra dollars. At the same time, that they're managing to actually pull in more money than one of the biggest overnight success stories in the gaming world stands to demonstrate something critical – their current Wii U customers themselves see Wii U itself as delivering high value, which is why they're willing to shell out over $100 more than Wii cost at launch.
And, lo and behold, if you look at what Nintendo of America executive VP of sales & marketing Scott Moffitt had to say about the NPD numbers, you'll find that the focus on value is right smack in the center:
While the Wii launch established new benchmarks in the United States, Wii U has surpassed its predecessor in perhaps the most important category: revenue generation. The demand for the Deluxe SKU, which was essentially sold out at retail this holiday, and the strong attach rate of New Super Mario Bros. U, shows that we have the value and the games to drive momentum in 2013. We look forward to offering great new experiences and bringing smiles to millions of new faces throughout the year.
Some may look at the relatively low software sales at present and wonder what Mr. Moffitt means when he says that Wii U sales indicate that Nintendo has the games (plural) to drive momentum in 2013. Didn't he just say that the driving force for the system was actually one game – New Super Mario Bros. U?
Certainly, when it comes to games already sold, New Super Mario Bros. U is leading the pack. However, let's give the people who shelled out more than $400 for a Wii U at launch (the cost of the Deluxe Set + Mario) a bit of credit. They're not going to invest that much in a new game machine just to play one game – they're going to want to buy more games later on.
With the higher cost of entry comes a consumer who's more mindful about getting the most out of his or her hard-earned dollar, especially in today's cash-strapped economy.
While I don't have the power of unlimited information at my disposal, I'd be willing to guess that most of those Wii U sales – and specifically the Wii U sales accompanied by New Super Mario Bros. purchases – went to single-console gamers who owned a Wii and no other game consoles last generation. These are gamers who were satisfied with what Wii had to offer and ready to upgrade to the next system to enjoy the next round of content from Nintendo and maybe occasionally something from whatever third-party companies they manage to get on board for multi-platform titles or exclusives.
As long as Nintendo can deliver a steady stream of quality content for these players to enjoy, their customer loyalty is sure to prove a much bigger and more sustainable asset for Nintendo than trying to sell to customers who might not be such big consumers of video games. It'd be better to lose out on "more sales" in the short term if it means focusing on maximizing relationships with high-value customers. They can always go after those less valuable customers later with a round of price cuts once they're ready to sell the system at a lower cost.
If you ask me, judging by today's economic conditions, the keyword this generation is going to be loyalty. Will next-gen platforms be able to attract fans of last gen's games with new offerings? Or will those franchises and genres that rose to the top in the last 5-6 years wind up stagnating during the transition? The companies who can rein in those customers all over again will be the ones to thrive.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive…"
Sir Walter Scott could not have been more right, as my congressman, Anthony Weiner, discovered this past week. The problems inherent in the lewd pictures, incomprehensibly bad judgment, and arrogant assumption of invincibility were only exacerbated ten times over by the untruths that followed. The whole affair is a tawdry mess, and an embarrassment.
Though his wounds are entirely self-inflicted and there is no way to make them less offensive than they are, I am obliged to say that, more than feeling anger or betrayal as a constituent, I am heartbroken for the man who has ably and passionately represented my district, articulated my concerns, and been a friend to my synagogue and to me personally. There is no schadenfreude here, at least for me- no sense of "gotcha" that one often feels when a politician is brought low in a public way.
The Anthony Weiner that I have known through the years is a good man, but obviously a good man with serious issues. Whether or not he should remain in office is not for me to say; if public and private pressure does not combine to force him from office, his constituents might ultimately vote him out, and that is their right. As a rabbi and a friend, it would seem to me that he needs to sort out his priorities right now. There is much repair to be done- much tikkun- and I don't know that holding on to his job is more important than holding on to his family. But he doesn't need me to tell him that…
But beyond the very sad story of Congressman Weiner's fall from grace is another story- a cautionary tale, if you will- about the power, allure and dangers inherent in social media.
Rabbis today- at least rabbis who are serving in pulpits- are taught that being comfortable with and conversant in the complexities of Facebook, Twitter and the like is an absolute must. Any parent of teens or young adults will know that if you're not on Facebook, you are a Luddite, and a foolish one at that. People in their teens and twenties essentially live on Facebook, so if we want to reach them, we need to at least- pardon the extended metaphor- get an apartment on Facebook even if we don't live there. If you want to market to those generations, to get a message out to them, to portray your synagogue or agency as "with it" and current, having a Facebook presence is an absolute must. I joined Facebook primarily to develop my synagogue's presence there. Yes, since I joined, I've learned to like it, but e-mail still matters much more to me than Facebook does. Not so my kids.
As for Twitter, I am still resisting, but it is all around me. Those same consultants on social media who preach the preeminent importance of Facebook would say the same of Twitter. As recently as the latest convention of the Rabbinical Assembly just a month or two ago, I attended an eye-opening workshop with a professional on social media who dazzled us all with how we can integrate Facebook, Twitter, websites and e-mail to create a seamless web of communication within our synagogues that would really reach our younger target population.
Yes, I thought wistfully. When I have a full-time IT professional on my synagogue staff, I'll do that.
I have no doubt that he's right. All this technology shrinks the world, and creates new and previously unimaginable ways to reach people. True enough.
But, of course, creating new and previously unimaginable ways to reach people also opens up commensurately new ways to get into trouble, as my Congressman and countless others have discovered. We warn our children about predators lurking on the web, but the issue is obviously more complicated than that. The internet has created so many novel ways for people to play out their fantasies, erotic and other, that we are really in uncharted waters as regards boundaries of the permitted and forbidden.
When you factor in the assumption of invulnerability that too often accompanies being in a prominent and powerful position, well- you can do the math.
None of this is to excuse Congressman Weiner, or what he did. It is inexcusable. But neither does it make him an evil person. He's a human being with some real issues- and he has also been a fine congressman. Altogether, his story is a very sad one- and a cautionary tale about the technology that entrapped him.

I guess making a comment on a moral issue isn't part of the rabbinical job description anymore. But considering Weiners comments about Jewish women. Well, I'm sure he is a "good man".
To whom.....
Having known Rep. Weiner and his family since his birth I can comment on
his morality excluding his present behavior.
It is apparent to me that Professional treatment is indicated.
What is also apparent to me and his constituents is his record
as a legislator and his potential serving the electorate.
He shot himself in the foot not in the heart.
We don't throw the "baby out with the bathwater.
Anthony, stay with it...many other politicians have done far worse- it was a mistake, follow the yellow brick road and you will succeed. Joan Adler
I find it disturbing that you do not acknowledge the lack of character he has shown in pursing this sexting for years, and the deception and dishonesty in lying to his wife and the public. Now only lying but blaming others! Is that the kind of congressman you endorse. This is not a "private matter".
He was recklessly doing this on facebook and twitter for a long long time.
He was flirting with danger. How much time did he spend with this obsession?
There is so much wrong with this. He send pictures of his naked genitalia for goodness sake. No parent wants to see their children who may admire a congressman and be following him on twitter or facebook be exposed to that.
How ever good, repentant, or forgiven Mr. Weiner may be, his carelessness in personal conduct, i.e.: his acts, indiscretion, and juvenile evasion of the issue have made him useless to any constituency for a very long time. That time gets longer with his every struggle to retain a position. Friends should advise that an end to his indignities will begin with resignation to the quietest of public profiles he can assume. He has made himself publicly unimportant.

Focus on CBI as March 31 is the deadline to file final charge-sheet
All eyes are on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) over the question whether it will meet the March 31 deadline for filing the final charge-sheet in the disproportionate assets case against Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
In case the CBI fails to file the charge-sheet on the last working day of this month (March 30), securing bail for Mr. Jagan may be delayed further. It is understood that the CBI may file a supplementary charge-sheet, instead of final one, in order to uphold its commitment to the Supreme Court, most likely by April 10.
It had sought more time from the Apex Court to complete the probe on the ground that it wanted to file a single document (instead of multiple charge-sheets) pertaining to seven left over issues - Sandur Power, Bharati/Raghuram Cements, Dalmia Cements, India Cements, Kolkata-based suitcase companies, Lepakshi Knowledge Hub and Indu Projects.
The agency has stepped up investigation in recent days by examining K.V.P. Ramachandra Rao, Congress MP and close associate of late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and even YSR's Chief Security Officer, M. Ramesh.
Mr. Ramesh, presently West Godavari SP, who was summoned to the Dilkusha Guest House here on Thursday, was asked about the frequent visitors to YSR and their nature of appointments. He was also queried about the role of YSR aide Sureedu, personal and private secretaries and other bureaucrats in the CMO.
The CBI has already filed four charge-sheets and arrested industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad, former minister Mopidevi Venkataramana Rao and former special secretary K.V. Brahmananda Reddy apart from Mr. Jagan.
CBI sources, however, justify the long time taken for completing investigation. They say the case was very complex and its contours are large.
They had to send letters rogatory to several countries from where different companies had pumped money into Mr. Jagan's firms. International ramifications of the case was the main reason for the delay in completing the investigation, the sources added.
YSR Congress spokespersons maintain that the CBI was unlikely to file the charge-sheet on March 31. They say the CBI was adopting 'delaying tactics' by summoning prominent persons and thus expanding the scope of investigation. It was unlikely that the final charge-sheet would be filed in the near future.
They would approach the CBI court some time in first week of April seeking bail for Mr. Jagan.

Butterfly Hotel in Nottingham is a perfect choice for all who are looking for a clean, comfortable and modernly decorated room in the heart of the city. At an affordable price! Our hotel is located in the very city centre and provides easy access to all the top visitor attractions, fine restaurants, pubs, night clubs, major entertainment venues, shopping opportunities, parks and more.
Famous worldwide for the Robin Hood legend, the city of Nottingham is situated in the county of Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands, about 15 miles east of Derby, 30 miles north of Leicester and 30 miles south of Sheffield. About 15 miles from the city centre is the East Midlands Airport which provides a connection to other major cities in the UK as well as abroad - predominantly in Europe. The city is well connected to the rest of Nottinghamshire and the UK capital (128 miles south) via M1 and rail - services are provided by the Northern Rail, CrossCountry and East Midlands Trains.
A Brief History
Nottingham became a city in 1897 when Queen Victoria granted it a city charter. Its history, however, dates back to the Anglo-Saxon era. It is first mentioned by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as Snotengaham; it is thought that it was a settlement of the Anglian tribe of Snotingas whose territory was a part of the Kingdom of Mercia. Captured by the Danish invaders in the 9th century, the former Snotingas' settlement also appears in the Domesday Book (1086).
By the late Middle Ages, Nottingham grew into a major trade centre thanks to the religious carvings/sculptures known as the Nottingham alabaster. But like many other industrial centres in Britain, Nottingham owes much of its success to the Industrial Revolution and in particular, the textile industry which, however, fell into decline after the end of the Second World War. Over the following decades, the city's economy gradually shifted to other economic sectors. Today, almost 90 percent of all jobs in Nottingham are generated by the service industry.
Attractions and Things to See/Do
Nottingham is hugely popular with travellers and tourists, both domestic and foreign. They are attracted by a variety of historical sites and buildings, museums, art galleries, family attractions, cultural and live music venues, vibrant nightlife and tonnes of events including annual festivals, fairs and celebrations, some of which have achieved an international reputation.

Relief pitching which had only spotty success in an SEC-opening weekend series loss could be stronger for Ole Miss on the road in Week 2.
After losing twice to Alabama, the Rebels will try to bounce back against Eastern Division opponent Tennessee.
Game times in Knoxville are 5 p.m., today, 2 p.m., Saturday and 1 p.m., Sunday. The Saturday and Sunday games will be televised by SportSouth where available.
Alabama scored 13 runs in the last 15 innings of the series, and Crimson Tide relief pitchers held Ole Miss to one run in 72/3 innings over three days.
Pitching news got worse for Ole Miss on Sunday when closer Jake Morgan left the game in the top of the ninth inning with shoulder pain. An MRI showed no structural damage, however, and Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco is cautiously optimistic that Morgan will be available this weekend.
News continued on an upward turn when junior college transfer R.J. Hively and freshman Bobby Wahl each threw a scoreless inning in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Samford. The two newcomers had been expected to fill key roles but have been out for several weeks with arm soreness.
Morgan has not allowed an earned run in 182/3 innings. He threw 21/3 innings against Alabama last Friday, combining with Matt Crouse on a 4-0 shutout and earning his fifth save.
Asked about his bullpen, Bianco, smiling, said, "It was pretty good on Friday."
"Certainly, we didn't pitch as well this weekend as we had in the previous five games," he said. "My expectations are really high, and when we don't do as well as I'm expecting us to, I'm harder on us than anybody … including the media."
The Vols (17-4, 1-2) lead the SEC in hitting at .337 and in stolen bases with 53 steals in 63 attempts.
They were held in check on the first weekend of SEC play, losing twice at Kentucky. Tennessee won 12-8 on Saturday but scored just six runs in the other two games, losing 5-3 on Friday and 7-3 on Sunday.
If Morgan is not available third-year sophomore Brett Huber, who had 12 saves in 2010, seems the logical choice as closer if the Rebels (16-6, 1-2) find themselves with a late lead to protect.
Bianco, though, has not committed Huber to that role.
"We're looking for the guy who can come in and get people out, and the more you can do that, the more opportunities you're going to get," he said.
Wild thing
Opponents are hitting just .178 against Huber, but he's walked 12 batters and shares the team lead for wild pitches with four.
Bianco said pitching coach Carl Lafferty has "worked on some things" with Huber, and the dividends of that work may have shown up earlier this week.
Huber, a freshman All-American last season, pitched two scoreless innings against Samford to earn his third save and lower his earned run average to 2.71 over 131/3 innings.
Before the season began Bianco described Morgan and Huber basically as "co-closers," but it wasn't long before Morgan elevated himself.
"The thing that made us have success is that we threw a lot of strikes," Bianco said. "That's the key to most peoples' success."

Linda Cardwell was overcome with emotion when she walked up Atcheson Street and saw police officers gathered behind the yellow crime-scene tape late this afternoon.
Only an hour before, Cardwell, 54, said she was enjoying lunch with Malik West at the Taste of Chicago pizza parlor at nearby Mount Vernon Plaza. She said that she is a family friend who has known West, 27, since he was young.
And now he was dead.
Sgt. Christ Holzhauser of the Columbus police homicide squad say police think that West was the victim of a robbery when he was shot on Atcheson Street on the Near East Side.
The shooting occurred about 3:45 p.m. as West tried to run toward a house. He was found by paramedics on the front porch of a house at 1244 Atcheson St. , two houses east of N. Ohio Avenue.
West was pronounced dead shortly after 4 p.m. at Grant Medical Center.
There were several witnesses to the shooting and officers were interviewing them, hoping to get a good description of the shooter, Holzhauser said.
Cardwell said that West was straightening out his life after he was released from prison about a year ago. Court records show he was convicted in 2005 on a felonious assault charge. A recent address for him wasn't available.
Cardwell said that she and West had a good conversation over lunch and she'll always remember how he drove away in what turned out to be the last time she would see him alive.
"It's just a horrible, horrible tragedy," Cardwell said.

Monday breakdown: Lions far from perfect but should cruise to playoff spotBefore the season, I figured there was no way the Lions could win more than seven games, largely due to last year's 4-12 meltdown and what appeared to be a gaudy schedule, so I settled on a 6-10 prediction.Source: detnews.com

Here at ADORA, you will find unique, quality handcrafted jewelry.
My love affair with designing jewelry was born in 2005 with a visit to Tucson, Arizona, home to one of the greatest gem shows in the country. I immersed myself into that ocean of sparkling gemstones and I knew then and there that there was no way back.
Inspired by color and the simplicity of primary shapes, I was always drawn toward natural, organic materials: unique pearls, quality semiprecious stones, different metals that I can bend or hammer in a variety of shapes. The rougher and less polished they are, the more I like them. And somehow they all manage to make it into unique pieces that turn heads and keep the compliments flowing.
None of my designs are sketched. Oftentimes I will let the stones tell me what they want to become. I prefer designs trending towards bold and asymmetrical, with lots of texture, and in colors that are often drawn from nature. Color seems to be the one thing that inspires me the most. Whether flawless and faceted or bold and chunky, the materials I choose have a story to tell. It's up to me to create the venue so the jewelry speaks for itself.
Through trial and error I've learned to design pieces that I would enjoy wearing myself. This allows me to honor my true creativity, instead of producing something just to sell. That's what makes it my art. If someone else loves it, I'm flattered, but my purpose is to generate unique designs that evolve and change as I do.

Testbed and Methods
During our comparative testing of the four GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards we used the following hardware platforms:
- AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 CPU (2x2.60GHz, 2x1MB L2)
- ABIT AN8 32X mainboard (nForce4 SLI X16) for Nvidia GeForce cards
- ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe mainboard (ATI CrossFire Xpress 3200) for ATI Radeon cards
- OCZ PC-3200 Platinum EL DDR SDRAM (2x1GB, CL2-3-2-5)
- Maxtor MaXLine III 7B250S0 (Serial ATA-150, 16MB buffer)
- Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 sound card
- Enermax Liberty 620W power supply (ELT620AWT)
- Dell 3007WFP monitor (30", 2560x1600 max display resolution)
- Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2, DirectX 9.0c
- ATI Catalyst 7.2
- Nvidia ForceWare 97.92
Since we believe that the use of tri-linear and anisotropic filtering optimizations is not justified in this case, the graphics card drivers were set up in standard way to provide the highest possible quality of texture filtering.
ATI Catalyst:
- Catalyst A.I.: Standard
- Mipmap Detail Level: High Quality
- Wait for vertical refresh: Always off
- Adaptive antialiasing: Off
- Temporal antialiasing: Off
- High Quality AF: On
- Other settings: by default
Nvidia ForceWare:
- Texture Filtering: High quality
- Vertical sync: Off
- Trilinear optimization: Off
- Anisotropic optimization: Off
- Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
- Gamma correct antialiasing: On
- Transparency antialiasing: Off
- Other settings: by default
We selected the highest possible graphics quality level in each game. We didn't modify the games' configuration files. Performance was measured with the games' own tools or, if not available, manually with Fraps utility. We also measured the minimum speed of the cards where possible.
Since GeForce 8800 GTX belongs to the most expensive high-end graphics solutions, it means that the users buying these graphics cards will most likely have a monitor with over 24" diagonal at their disposal. Therefore, we decided to include the 2560x1600 resolution into the list of our test modes. If the game didn't support the resolution that high, we stuck to the standard set of test modes: 1280x1024/960, 1600x1200 and 1920x1200. We used "eye candy" mode everywhere, where it was possible without disabling the HDR or Shader Model 3.0 increasing the image quality. We enabled FSAA and anisotropic filtering from the game's menu. If this was not possible, we forced them using the appropriate driver settings of ATI Catalyst and Nvidia ForceWare.
Besides the Asustek, Foxconn, OCZ and XFX solutions we have also included the following graphics cards into our test session:
- Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS (G80, 513/1188/1600MHz, 96sp, 24tmu, 20rop, 320-bit, 640MB)
- Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 (2xG71, 500/1200MHz, 48pp, 16vp, 48tmu, 32rop, 256-bit, 512MB)
- AMD Radeon X1950 XTX (R580+, 650/2000MHz, 48pp, 8vp, 16tmu, 16rop, 256-bit, 512MB)
Since the graphics cards from Asustek, Foxconn and OCZ are shipped with reference frequencies, we decided not to include all four graphics cards into the performance charts, as their results are identical. Moreover, we didn't include the numbers for overclocked graphics cards as well, because the overclocking results vary from card to card and cannot be guaranteed.
For our tests we used the following games and benchmarks:
- Battlefield 2142
- Call of Juarez
- Command & Conquer 3
- Company of Heroes
- Gothic 3
- Neverwinter Nights 2
- Splinter Cell: Double Agent
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
- Supreme Commander

Lindsey Vonn on the Road to Recovery
Lindsey Vonn appears to be on the mend today, after divulging a potentially medal-threatening injury to her shin to the Today Show yesterday morning. On Wednesday, America's big hope for Olympic ski gold told Matt Lauer she had bruised her shin, calling the injury "excruciatingly painful" and reporting that the "muscle is bleeding." But by Thursday morning Vonn was out on the mountain and inspecting the course -- on skis. "When we got here at first she skied carefully but then she decided she was going to test her shin for real," Thomas Vonn, Lindsey's husband and coach, told the New York Times. "She took a free run but it was pretty fast and she was pressuring the boot and making real turns. I followed after her down the trail and she looked solid. At the bottom, she was in pain but smiling. It wasn't a run at full race speed by any means but it was a solid step." Training runs for Olympic super combined contenders were postponed until tomorrow due to snow and bad weather. More snow and a healing Vonn? We'll take both those bits of news as good ones.

|Publication ID: Spring 2007
|Title: Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Combination Products
|Abstract: The proposed rule would clarify and streamline the current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements for combination products (combinations of a drug, device, and/or biological product). The proposed rule would provide a flexible, quality management regulatory framework that recognizes that, in most instances, for combination products, a properly implemented quality system program under one set of medical product cGMP regulations will meet the requirements of another set (e.g., application of cGMPs for finished pharmaceuticals in 21 CFR parts 210 and 211 will generally meet the requirements of the device quality system regulations in 21 CFR part 820). It would allow manufacturers the flexibility to select either the cGMP or quality system regulation to apply for the manufacture of their combination product, provided that their system incorporates select, key provisions from the regulations pertaining to the other part of their combination product. It would avoid the necessity to fully implement both sets of cGMP regulations when manufacturing combination products. The proposed rule is intended to ensure consistency and appropriateness in the regulation of combination products.

I seen you guys at Mustang Week and purchased a Ford Mustang SCT Tuner and you guys installed the product and everything for me at the Show at no charge! I appreciated that and couldn't recommend a Mustang Parts supplier more than I would Cruizin Concepts.Frank L.
Own 2 Mustangs and I try to buy all of my parts from you. You have one of the largest selections of Carroll Shelby Parts anywhere and I appreciate that because I've purchased several Shelby parts from Cruizin that I couldn't have gotten elsewhere.Chris V.
You guys ROCK! I always look around before I buy anything for my Mustang but i keep coming back here. Not only that but your VIP program is saving me tons of money and I can find everything I'm looking for on your site. I purchased almost all of my exterior parts from you from my wheels to my body kit and am extremely satisfied.Mike R.
I have been shopping with you guys for years and I have to say it is the best online shopping experience I have ever had. You guys keep making your site easier to navigate and loading it with awesome new features. I also love your selection, it seems like every time I get on here there are new products. You have a customer for life with me.Larry S.
I used to buy my Mustang Parts from another company but i have made a few purchases with you guys and it's like a whole new experience. The whole staff is friendly and helpful and are able to answer all of my questions. But what I love the most is the low prices, and on top of paying less here I get more money for my next purchase!Jen B.
I have to say that I am impressed with your company! The transit time was not the greatest but with the amount I paid it was well worth the couple extra days. I think Cruizin is awesome and will continue to shop with you as long as I have my Mustang.Charles S.
I just got a Cold Air Intake, Exhaust, and Tuner from you guys because the sales guy talked me into it and I love it. First the deal you guys gave me felt like I was getting one of the items for free. And if I wouldn't have got the Tuner with this I think I would have been disappointed. You guys know what you're talking and I couldn't believe the difference in performance just from the Pype's Exhaust, SCT Tuner, and the K&N Intake!Leon W.
I can't believe I just got a Body Kit from you for under $500! That was the Front Bumper, Rear Bumper and the Side Skirts all for less than I could have found just the front bumper at other places. And I got the Body Kit at the end of the week, talk about fast. I called another place and they said it would be about 2 weeks but you guys beat them in every way!William O.
I love shopping online because of the convenience but I don't like the customer service at most places. When I called you about the Steeda Spyder Wheel and Tire Package the rep I spoke with was nice and didn't pressure me in to anything, just let me know the difference in the Nitto Tires and the Toyo Tires. I love the Customer Service and great pricing.Paul B.
Cruizin must be a bunch of experts because I called 3 times and spoke with a different person each time and they all blew my mind on their knowledge of Mustangs and all the Parts. I never even knew what a wind screen or the difference between a styling bar and a light bar until I called. Two thumbs up from me.Tanya H.
Your pricing on the Cipher Race Seats is incredible! I was cautious at first because I have never heard of Cipher before, but when I called about the Corbeau your rep told me about the quality and the many styles they came in. I was still a little worried but once my Race Seats came in I was happy! Great quality, I don't think I would have been happier with any other brand.Robby S.
I love the top notch customer service and knowledge you've given my son and I on several of the Mustang Parts and accessories we have inquired about. I've had the pleasure of speaking with at least 5 or 6 of your customer service representatives and all of them have been able to answer all of our questions. I love dealing with your staff that seems to know Ford Mustangs inside and out!Timmothy J.
I love the look and feel of the new Cruizin Concepts website! You guys seem to have allot more videos and it's even easier to navigate for parts and accessories now. I've ordered from you now for the third time and I always have received quick delivery and what feels like wholesale prices on my parts. Thanks for giving consumers like myself great service and keeping the prices so low!Jeremy H.
Cruizin Concepts is by far my favorite place to shop for parts online. My last purchase was a performance cat-back exhaust system for my 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L and you guys had it shipped out the very same day I placed the order. The site is always makes it easy for me to find my way around and the selection is always great and everything I've purchased has been cheaper through Cruizin than anywhere else. Love accessorizing my American Muscle car with you guys!James W.
All my friends shopped with you guys and I finally had my first experience dealing with Cruizin. I have to say you guys are awesome and I noticed you guys have 365 Day returns and I don't believe I've seen that anywhere else. Just ordered Shelby Wheels and Tires for my 2009 Shelby GT500 and your pricing rocked! The packaging was incredible and you guys make some awesome custom packaging for your high end wheels and tires. Quick shipping and the free installation kit were both nice touches. Thanks.Eric V.

Ladarius Green
With the 110th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers have selected Ladarius Green, TE Louisiana-Lafayette.
From NFL.com:
Green has been a late riser and could see his stock go up even more if he continues to show the type of athleticism he showed in his senior year. Although he comes from a smaller conference, Green has been a very productive pass-catching tight end and has displayed the type of athleticism that makes him a mismatch at the next level and the type of player a team could fall in love with. All things considered, he has displayed sixth-round talent up to this point and is a developmental project at the position.
Green is a big tight end who understands how to get open and use his frame to be a good option for the quarterback in the short passing game. He has good foot quickness, which he uses along with his frame to work against zone coverage and box out smaller defenders to secure the easy first-down catch. Green has body control that allows him to leap, torque and reach both high and low for poorly thrown balls, making him the type of red-zone option who can have his quarterback throw jump balls.
Green is a raw player and likely would be a project at the position. He can struggle getting off the line of scrimmage and can give away his routes quickly when running them. He has a lot of negative aspects to his game, but the skills he lacks could be developed through coaching.
How would you grade this pick? Does Ladarius Green meet the Chargers needs and provide good value? Sound off in the comments below!

Yet another supreme value with this pick. Just to pat myself on the back a little bit...
- Antonio Spellman said... Apr 28, 2012, 11:36:00 AM
definitely a great pick
I have to say this is a good pic as well (sounding like a broken record) because he doesn't need to start and will time to develop behind Gates! Kid has some major league skills and you can't teach quickness...wow!

These toxins accumulate in the body and impede your daily performance. The Dr. Dünner 5 Day Elderberry Cleanse is a tried and true way of shedding these toxins and rejuvenating the body. Developed in Europe, by a Swiss naturopath, where the cleansing qualities of elderberry are well known. Europeans have been enjoying the benefits of elderberry cleansing for centuries. Now you can enjoy those same benefits of complete cleansing without the side effects of harsh chemicals and laxatives. The program is so easy to follow, all you need are the contents of this kit, pure water, and the fruits and vegetables in your refrigerator. Stop feeling tired, sluggish and lifeless. Cleanse your body and feel vibrant, active and alive!

iHerb's pricing and delivery is the best I have experienced for this product. I have used this cleanse in the 3 day and 10 day size, about 10 times and continue to be very happy with the results. It makes me feel so energized. I particularly like the fact that it does not give you an upset stomach, and you don't spend half your day in the bathroom. It always gets rid of bloating, and any desire to over-indulge or crave certain foods. I always lose a pound a day, and I am hungry only on day 1 and day 6. I highly recommend this cleanse, and certainly order it here because you won't find a better price.
this is an great product!
amazing results

My husband and I have doing this cleanse once a year for 7 years. We always lose at least 10 lbs each and feel great afterwards! It is best to do the deep cleanse...it is easier than the other one.
