Niemann to start Saturday
Pending no further issues with his right hand that was struck by a line drive, RHP Jeff Niemann will make his return to the Rays on Saturday, starting at Toronto.
The Rays set their rotation for the four-game series in Toronto, with Matt Moore pitching Thursday, Jeremy Hellickson Friday, Niemann Saturday and David Price on Sunday.
Under that plan, RHP James Shields would open the key series with the Yankees on Sept. 3, followed by Alex Cobb and Matt Moore.

Projected Record: 8-8
Actual Record: 8-8
Herm's Favorite Time to Run Larry Johnson: Third and 8
An Arbitrary Number of Fast Facts on the Chiefs
-There are two Kansas City's–I think the Chiefs play in the crappy one.
-Brodie Croyle was a cool name in fifth grade.
-Herm Edwards doesn't like being called Herman. On a more interesting note, the nation's first television advertisement for condoms aired during an episode of Herman's Head. That night the show received thousands of complaints–non of which had anything to do with condoms.
-Priest Holmes just criticized his spinal column for holding out.
-Claude Maurice McGee goes by the nickname "Turk" because all of his real names are kinda fey.
-Kyle Turley is half C.H.U.D. and half Morlock.
-Jason Dunn is really two and half midgets.
-Even though he's 6'3″ Napoleon Harris has been known to wear lifts.
-Jay Z is worried that Larry Johnson is trying to fuck Beyonce.
-Beyonce is terrified that Larry Johnson is already fucking Jay Z.
If you know one thing about these Kansas City Chiefs it's that Gunther Cunningham doesn't take lip, he gives lip!
If you've been watching their training camp unfold on HBO's Hard Knocks (not me!) you know that Gunther isn't just a crotchety old man, he's nuttier than Chloë Sevigny's mouth.
Three Quick Thoughts:
-I'm not footballologist but I'm pretty sure those guys need their hands.
-I'd pay good money to watch Gunther try to wrap his feeble old-guy hands around DeMarcus Tyler's ginormous head stalk
-It should come as no surprise that Gunther was born in Munich shortly after the fall of the Third Reich.
If you are a fan of the Chiefs I offer my humble apologies for the things you've read here and all of the misery you're bound to endure this season.

Not only has 7-Eleven become the largest c-store chain in the world, but now it's considered the most common store in the world, according to the Star-Telegram in Texas.
The chain, which just celebrated its 80th birthday, has surpassed QSR giant McDonald's as being the most recognizable chain in the world by sporting the largest amount of locations worldwide. The chain currently operateswhether through ownership or franchise32,711 stores in 15 countries. While McDonald's reaches more people by having chains spread across 100 countries, the chain operates fewer stores, with the current count reaching 31,062. Subway came in third with 27,000 locations.
The chain credited its success to aggressively reaching out and expanding in new territories. Company CEO Joe DePinto said in a statement that there's still plenty of room for the chain to grow.

West Bowling 40 Bank Top Harriers 10
The extraordinary dismissal of stand-off Jason Gelder in the half-time interval signalled the collapse of Bank Top Harriers in the Premier Division derby against West Bowling at Emsleys Rec.
The referee had blown to end the first period when both sides started fighting and, after order was restored, Gelder was sent off.
He started to leave the field but suddenly did an about-turn and resumed battle, leaving the match official to reach for the red card for a second time.
The Harriers had started the match looking far from a side that had lost all their matches and were anchored in bottom spot.
Gelder's tactical kicking put the hosts constantly on the back foot and it was only thanks to a brilliant long pass from scrum half Liam Coe that put wingman Jordan Laban in at the corner to give Wests the lead.
When the Harriers were penalised for ball-stealing, Bowling doubled their advantage by whipping the ball across the line to enable centre Jason Marshall to reach the whitewash.
The visitors promptly upped their game and Gelder drew the cover in fine style to send centre Craig French over and, shortly afterwards, produced a show of strength by twisting out of two tackles to plant the ball over the chalk.
He added a raking touchline conversion to put the game back in the melting pot at 10-8.
Bowling full back Ben Heald showed an electric burst of speed to cross and added the extras before stand-off Liam Darville fooled the defence out wide to touch down in acres of space to close a highly entertaining first half 18-10 in the hosts' favour.
When the match resumed, Marshall registered his brace and Heald added the conversion before another altercation occurred on the touchline involving Gelder – who had failed to retire to the dressing rooms – and Wests' second-row forward Jack Milburn, who promptly received his marching orders.
Bank Top wingman Mike Hustler dropped an easy pass from French with the line beckoning as all the shenanigans clearly took their toll and Darville, the consummate poacher, intercepted to race 70 metres under the posts.
He soon followed up with his hat-trick after selling two outrageous dummies and when Laban squeezed in at the corner flag, the referee brought a welcome end five minutes early, leaving the Pennine League disciplinary panel to deal with all the disorder.

It's Official: Stephen Colbert to take over for Letterman hosting 'Late Show'
NEW YORK (WJLA) - It's official - CBS has announced that Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman as the host of "The Late Show," effective as soon as Letterman retires.
CBS announced a five-year agreement between the network and Colbert Thursday.
Colbert is the host, writer and executive producer of the Emmy and Peabody award-winning show "The Colbert Report," after getting his start on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show."
Letterman announced his retirement on his April 3 broadcast. He has been hosting "The Late Show" for 21 years.
CBS executives said in a statement that the producers and the location for the Colbert-hosted show will be announced at a later date.
Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of CBS, said the network is pleased Colbert will be taking over the show.
"Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television," said Moonves. "David Letterman's legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today's announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night."
"Stephen is a multi-talented and respected host, writer, producer, satirist and comedian who blazes a trail of thought-provoking conversation, humor and innovation with everything he touches," said CBS Chairman Nina Tassler. "We welcome Stephen to CBS with great pride and excitement, and look forward to introducing him to our network television viewers in late night."
Colbert expressed excitement over the deal as well.
"Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career," said Colbert. "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead."
He quipped, "I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."

A panel of media critics took turns roughing up MSNBC's Al Sharpton on CNN on Sunday for his dual role in the Trayvon Martin case. The civil rights agitator-cum-television host has hopped back and forth across that line in recent weeks. One moment, he's speaking at a rally; the next he's on MSNBC, holding forth on the case. One moment he's at an important meeting with Trayvon's family; the next, he's back on air.
Now there's some journalistic blurriness. Eric Deggans of the Tampa Bay Times said on CNN's "Reliable Sources": "The problem is that MSNBC has to cover this as a news organization. And as I said, we're getting to the point now where George Zimmerman is starting to speak up. . . . He has an attorney; he has a side. Is he going to feel like he can talk to NBC News or MSNBC and be treated fairly when one of their signature on-air personalities has spent weeks talking about how he should be arrested and should be in jail?" WUSA-TV's Derek McGinty, another guest on the show, chimed in: "It's definitely a conflict."
Host Howard Kurtz hammered MSNBC for allowing Sharpton to pack multiple hats on his trips down to Florida.
Ethical tsk-tsking is well placed here. Sharpton's multitasking is unseemly, even with the caveat that he's an MSNBC commentator and makes no pretense toward objectivity. That's the card that the network is playing, anyway. An MSNBC statement sent to me yesterday:
When Rev. Sharpton joined MSNBC, it was with the understanding that he would continue to do his advocacy work. We're fully aware of that work and we have an ongoing dialogue. His participation in these events is very public and our audience is completely aware of where he stands on the issues. It's because of this work and his decades of activism that Rev. Sharpton brings such a unique perspective to our line up.
Now to pull this issue out of the sleep-inducing swamp of media ethics. Let's talk strictly about good television. That's where this Sharpton experiment really fails.
Yesterday evening, Sharpton hosted a special edition of MSNBC's "Politics Nation," a segment that featured an interview with Trayvon Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, along with family attorney Benjamin Crump.
Here are some of the questions that Sharpton posed to the guests, along with their initial answers:
Sharpton: Let me ask you as a mother and father, is Trayvon the type of person that would have attacked some stranger unprovoked?
Fulton: No, what Trayvon would have done is defended himself.
Sharpton: Now, Attorney Crump, when we look it I`m sure on the live screen of the record of Mr. Zimmerman who had been arrested for domestic violence, and also an altercation with law enforcement, why are they asking about Trayvon, even if you were believe the story that he had an empty bag of marijuana which is not violent and not material to this, there is no violence connected to Trayvon, why are we talking about Trayvon? The one who has some documents in violence is Mr. Zimmerman?
Crump: Absolutely, Reverend Sharpton.
Sharpton: I watched here as we did the press conference, and one of the things that strike me, Sybrina, if this is an unauthorized lead, that they put this out on the month anniversary of your son's killing, does this enhance your distrust of the police? I mean, why in an unauthorized would they put this out on a day like this?
Fulton: I don't quite understand it.
Sharpton: The phone log of Trayvon talking to his girlfriend has the time in which he was talking to her right almost to the time of the death. So there is no lack of documentation from the story as your attorney put it. So, are you — do you feel they're trying to cover up? Do you feel like they got it by mistake? What is your real feeling that is going on here?
Fulton: I actually feel that they were trying to cover up, but with so much information in the public eye, or so much attention to this case, they're forced to try to do the right thing, but they have refused to.
Sharpton: And now the same department, unauthorized, releases this information allegedly about Trayvon even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the case. Is there a pattern here? And you met with the state prosecutor, do you more confidence in them than obviously, you have in the local police department of Sanford that keeps one error after another error?
Crump: Absolutely, Reverend Sharpton.
One "pattern" here is Sharpton's inability to conduct a meaningful interview about this case. In no way am I suggesting that Trayvon Martin's parents deserve a thorough grilling. They do not; they are grieving the killing of their son in a tragic and pointless incident.
That said, plenty of TV personalities can conduct a sensitive, compelling and neutral interview of the Martin family. Sharpton just happens not to be among them. His role in the segment above hewed more toward teeing up talking points than toward probing the issues at hand in the case. He conducted a press conference, not a cable news segment.
Sharpton may be positioning MSNBC as the media focal point for national outrage over what happened to Trayvon Martin. The price the cable outlet may have to pay is a lot of predictable television.

The state's capital budget bill—House Bill 497—was recently reviewed by the state legislature in order to determine appropriate capital projects to be funded by bonded dollars over the course of the next few years. The capital budget is a collaborative process that involves state and local leaders and the economic development community which balances the state's need for fiscal restraint.
The funding for these projects is provided by bond money that is established in a fund for the purpose of public improvements in Ohio. In western Ohio we were fortunate enough to have funding for many projects approved because of the bill's passage. For the four counties that I represent, funding totaled more than $13 million.
The Progressive Agricultural Convention and Educational Center (PACE) will be built on the Mercer County Fairgrounds. It will be a major advancement, providing state-of-the-art labs and learning space for the Wright State Lake Campus agricultural program and will open up the fairgrounds for other events that may bring additional tourism to the region.
I am also pleased that the 4-H kids in Shelby County are one step closer to having a new bathroom for their use while they are working hard with their 4-H and FFA projects during the Shelby County Fair. This is a project spearheaded by local groups and the state has been able to help them with funding for the completion of the project.
Funding for the construction of a Native American Bowery has also been approved. Not unlike the Native American Peace Council House, which was built nearly 10 years ago, it will be built in the Greenville Park in order to educate local residents and their children about Native Americans in the area and their involvement in the settlement of western Ohio. It will commemorate the 2nd Treaty of Greenville and the War of 1812 Bicentennial.
Parks are very important to the people in my district. They represent a place to come together and they provide a connection between the residential community and small business, which spurs economic growth. Because of HB 497 many community projects will advance forward with state support such as restoration projects at the Historic Sidney Theatre and Memorial Hall in Greenville.
In addition, two advanced manufacturing training facilities received money for construction in the 84th District. These facilities will provide a place for local workers to advance their skills, giving local companies an improved workforce to hire from and enabling companies to enroll existing workers in retraining programs to provide promotion and advancement within their companies.
None of these projects would have been possible without the hard work of my colleagues Senators Keith Faber and Cliff Hite and local State Representatives Richard Adams, Tony Burkley, and John Adams. All of these projects help Ohioans by promoting the arts and improving the infrastructure of the community, as just a few examples.
Please stay in touch and provide your input on the issues of the day by taking my legislative survey at tinyurl.com/buchymay2014.

Hi guys!
I'm having some issues playing a couple of games on my Nintendo Wii. But first of all let me put your all up to date:
Nintendo Wii
Firmware Ver. 3.2E
Wasabi Zero (solderless) installed
No other soft-mod installed
The thing is, so far I've been able to play all the Wii games I wanted, yet I'm having an annoying black screen and then freezing with some games.
The games in question are 'PES 2009' and 'New Super Mario Bros'.
I don't know what I need to do. I've recorded the games very slowly. The Wii firmware is only the 3.2E. I don't know...
What do I need to do to make this problem go away and peacefully play NSMB? :)
Let me thank you all in advance for your help!

Russia, Lutheran Church Book Duplicates (FamilySearch Historical Records)/Known Issues
| This page was created by FamilySearch Historical Records personnel. It details problems identified within this collection and answers to those problems.
If you wish to comment, please visit the talk page to post your comments.
Known Issues
Question #1: I've signed in, so why are the images still unavailable?
Answer #1: FamilySearch has limited rights, granted by the record custodians, to publish images from the Russia, Lutheran Church Book Duplicates, 1833-1885 collection for viewing online. Images for this collection are only available for viewing to members of the sponsoring organization (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), and at FamilySearch Centers. It is important to check with your FamilySearch Center before your visit, to verify that the center is equipped with the capability to view these restricted images on www.familysearch.org.
FamilySearch, however, has other resources which are available to all researchers. These online records, and many others for this area, are available on microfilm which can be ordered for viewing into the nearest FamilySearch Center after Ordering Microfilm or Microfiche. If you are in Europe please call the FamilySearch Center to verify that they can receive the films.
If you have an LDS account and are not able to view images after signing in, it may be due to a registration problem, not an image access problem. Please call 1-866-406-1830 in the United States, or contact Patron Services at email@example.com. Please include a brief description of the problem and steps taken thus far to resolve the issue.
NOTE: The records for this collection consist of individual volumes that frequently group smaller communities together into the same bound copy. For example, the records for Novgorod also contains records for Olonets, Vologda, Kostromo, and Jaroslavl'. When you move from image to image, the browse path will change to reflect the community for the record associated with the image, even though you may start from a different locality.
This is attributed to a shared digital film, and the final browse points are considered to be wandering breadcrumbs; that is, some final browse points flip back and forth between different localities. Until the problem is resolved, you will have to read each image to verify the proper locality. Citations specific to this known issue are addressed below:
Question #2: Some of the final browse points for St. Petersburg > Tsarskoe Selo > Pawlowsk: Pawlowsk and St. Petersburg > Tsarskoe Selo > Carskoje Selo: Carskoje Selo have identical listings for Volume year range: event type (volume number), and the film numbers are the same. Which locality do the records belong to?
Answer #2: Per the Catalog Film Notes found by using Keywords (beta) searches: "Pawlowsk" and "Carskoje," both localities have the same film number and description: Film 1883187, Item 2: Volume 828-14/76 Births, marriages, deaths 1853 (p. 1-12). As a result, some records are Pawlowsk with Carskoje Selo and vice versa.
Question #3: Some of the final browse points for St. Petersburg > Iamburg > Jamburg: Jamburg and St. Petersburg > Gdov > Gdov: Gdov have identical listings for Volume year range: event type (volume number), and the film numbers are the same. Which locality do the records belong to?
Answer #3: Per the Catalog Film Notes found by using Keywords (beta) searches: "Jamburg" and "Gdov," both localities have the same film number and description: Film 1895614, Item 3: Volume 828-14/258 Births, marriages, deaths 1883 (with the exception that Jamburg refers to (p. 1-19) and Gdov refers to (p. 20-71)). As a result, some records are Jamburg with Gdov and vice versa.
If you encounter additional problems with this collection, feel free to report them at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the following information:
- If searching a specific collection: please include the name of the collection; include all search criteria used, including name, event, dates and places.
- If browsing this collection: please include the full path you followed to where the problem occurred. The browse path is located above the Image viewer window.
For example: Russia, Lutheran Church Book Duplicates, 1833-1885 > St. Petersburg > Tsarskoe Selo > Pawlowsk: Pawlowsk > 1853: Births, marriages, deaths ( 828-14/76) > Image 4 of 13.

Kate could not conceal her passion for sailing as she eyed the trophy admiringly during the launch this lunchtime.
Sir Ben, a four-time Olympic gold medal winner, will skipper the team that aims to win the historic trophy - something a British team has never done.
Kate, who wore a Jaeger dress, has been a keen sailor since childhood and even raced and comprehensively beat Prince William in Auckland earlier this year.
Their yachts were used by New Zealand in the America's Cup.
The Duchess's support for the team will be a long-term commitment and will see her "getting out there" to back the challenge, said a Kensington Palace spokeswoman.
Sir Ben was famously employed as a tactician during the last America's Cup race, helping the US Oracle team overturn an 8-1 deficit to beat New Zealand.
The sportsman said he had a burning desire since he was a child to be part of a British America's Cup bid.
He told Sky News: "The budget for the team is around £80m and that's what we need to have a chance to be successful - to get the right talent, the right designers and to build the boats.
"A proportion of that is through private investors, about 40%, and the other 60% we need to raise commercially.
"We are just starting to go out into the market after launching a team and our initial conversations are really encouraging and we expect to get there."
The Olympic sailor added: "We want to bring it home, it would be an amazing thing for this country."
He will skipper the team that aims to triumph in the 35th America's Cup being staged in 2017, with the entry made through the Royal Yacht Squadron.
The club hosted the first race which took place off the Isle of Wight in the mid-19th century.

SACRAMENTO - A Sacramento man who touched so many lives is being remembered for his love of the game of chess.
Michael Parmon was 69 when he died from the flu Friday. He was known in Sacramento as a chess genius.
He spent his Wednesday and Friday evenings glued to a corner table at the International House of Pancakes on 30th and N streets. That's where he taught chess to others, some as young as 5 years old.
"You just remember the kids, the kids seemed to be the ones running around, talking, laughing and really getting into it," said Ciaran McDunphy, general manager at the IHOP.
Parmon was just a month shy of his 70th birthday but still spent most of his time as the head of the Sacramento Chess School. The group provides free lessons to children, teaching them about the game and sharpening their competitive skills.
"With the kids, very encouraging," said Fred Nelson whose son was trained so well by Parmon, he nearly beat the chess master. "At the end of the game, he was like, 'I really had to try to beat your kid at chess and usually it's really easy,'" recalled Nelson.
Parmon was such a staple in the community that when he did not show up last week, the staff at IHOP worried.
"Michael [Parmon] was such a fixture here, that when he wasn't here, we knew there was something wrong," McDunphy said.
It turned out Parmon was in a match of his own, fighting for his life.
Friends said he got the flu and was in Sutter Hospital for a week before he died Friday.
"So somebody like Michael passes, it really is losing one of the family, so he'll be missed," McDunphy said.
Parmon will continue to be remembered for the countless of hours he volunteered to teach youth about a game few people master.
"He wasn't trying to get money from anybody," IHOP waiter Jamal Jackson declared. "He just had a love for chess and a passion he was trying to spread it to everybody."

Good luck Dutchie!
I'm sipping my pre long run breakfast - chicken soup - and trying to figure out how my dead legs are going to run 12 miles. I guess there's going to be some walking in there.
I'm reading a bit of Arthur Lydiard and he says something simple: Miles make the champions.
Today was the day I planned to run my second half marathon of the year (and in a month). After going so deep in the tank in New Orleans I decided not to sign up (I had been smart enough not register before the marathon, yay me). All this past week I kept having to talk myself out of running it. It's a table flat course, very fast and the weather was going to be cool with maybe a light rain. Then yesterday I volunteered and helped set up the finish line. This race finishes inside LP Field (where the Titans play) at the 50 yard line. So I was setting up the finish line, on an NFL field. How cool is that? Well it wasn't really on the field but on the edge of the field. The field and sidelines were completely covered with protective fabric. If you're wondering, an NFL stadium looks pretty small when you're on the field and it has no lines and there are no people in the stands.
After we were done I went back up to the registration area and wandered around for a while. I went past the number lists on the wall, the bib and chip tables, more than once. I intentionally didn't look at the shirt. And then I went home. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $50 and know I wouldn't be at my best. It was the right decision. 15 miler this morning and I had nothing. I was barely able to hold on to 11 minute pace and my legs were absolutely killing me when I finished. So maybe I'm finding some wisdom (which I would happily trade for some speed).

Hey all, I'm passing along info about a website that I just discovered which I've already found helpful. They are do-it-as-you-watch videos on self-massage, some of it specific to runners. The author is a guy named Rich Poley. I've already discovered sore muscles I didn't know I had that could be contributing to my current running setback. PLUS I've learned an easy and effective way to self massage the hamstring. Check it out:
Go as long as you can, and then take another step.
Thanks everyone, I needed the luck I feel sooo exhausted.
I was in a team of 3 runners, one cyclist and one driver. We ran legs of 1.5 kms in the 1st loop, then 2.0 kms in the 2nd loop (experimenting a little), and again 1.5kms in the 3rd loop. As the kilometers passsed, it got harder and harder. You know, I was sort of relaxing in the car then it was my turn again and I had to step into the rain and cold. Mostly we were exposed to this nasty wind.
And I did the stupidist thing... Early into the 2nd loop I had to pee, and while running down a river dike looked back at our cyclist to tell her what I was gonna do (so she wouldn't think I'd gone crazy running down the dike) and didn't notice the difference between the road and the dirt. I "misstepped" and injured my R-hip, Arghhhh. It got progressively worse cause we still had about 39 kilometers left to run.
I made it though. All the way to the finish line. But I got slower and slower. Otoh, I was running way too fast in the first loop running 1.5 kilometers in 8:07 minutes. Way too fast. But my team mates were very fast and I tried to not slow the team down too much. After I injured my hip, I had no choice but to slow down to 10-11 minutes per leg.
This team running thing was a whole new experience for me. Despite the weather and my hip, it was FUN!
Off to bed now.
Dutchie I go running in the early morning, before my brain figures out what I'm up to.
Run the day, or the day runs you.
Actions determine state of mind - Aristotle
Just a dude.
So you basically ran 10 or so minutes, then rested 20 minutes? That would kill me... i'd rather run 30 and rest an hour or something like that...
I did a set of hill repeats today, and it was pretty hard... which is good I spose...
Also, I failed miserably on not upping my mileage this week... /sigh
Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...
6 miles yesterday. I threw in a little speed for the first time this year and it went pretty well. Today I did a 10 mile walk with the family. It was our last training walk for the half marathon next weekend. It will be the first half for wife and son. Our goal is 4 hours. Now I just have to fit in my 16 miler Sunday or Monday.
Brian - It must be hard to see your improvements from where you're standing (running), but it's obvious to everybody else here. Your improvements have been impressive this last year and I know you have more speed on the way, give it some time.
Dutchie - Congrats on your new team running experience. I'm still not quite understanding the logistics behind it, but it does sound like fun.
Feeling much better today.
My personal finish time was 2:25:44, which is about what I run in a half marathon race.
Team finish time was 5:27:21. My team mates were definitely faster runners than I was.
Kelly: I think I had about a 13 minute rest between legs. After I injured my hip that was really hard cause my hip would get stiff.And what really bothered me was that I relaxed in a nice warm van while waiting, then had to step out again in the cold, rain and wind.
The van was too small to properly stretch my hip out, or my hip flexor. That might have helped with the injury.
Food and (sports) drinks were in the van.
Heffa: what happens is they drop you from the van, and the van drives on to the next stop with the rest of the team. After you've run your leg, the van is waiting, the next runner takes off and you get in the van for your "rest period". The van drives on to the next stop. It's difficult for the driver cause he has to remember to stop every 1.5 or 2.0 kilometers. Someone on a bike accompanies the runner to (1) show the route and (2) for safety. Actually, there are supposed to be two bikers: one before the runner and the other one behind the runner, but my team was one biker short. So my biker would ride behind me, shouting when to turn left or right or whatever.
Dutchie: I have to say that sounds like the most fun ever. I imagine it will be easier (in some ways) as you start doing longer intervals. In the final race, how long will your average interval be? Hope the leg heals up quickly.
Jeff: thanks for the encouragement. Hope I didn't sound like I'm whining (too much). My main reason for wishing to be faster is it takes so much time to get my runs in. I'm pretty much at the limit of available time, which means I'm at the limit of distance.
Dutchie: The relay sounds fun and wacky
Feeling alot better today. Just finished an easy park loop (3.25) after a disaster run yesterday (7.5 was supposed to be 12). Lesson learned from this week - no fast running on Thursday afternoon before Saturday morning long run, There was no "go" in the legs, I'm getting a little worried hat I have no fast speed, but I'll remember to practice that on Tues or Wed so I can recover for the long run. I'm looking at a 5K in April to test things out.
Rest week coming up - phew. Still on track for 110 mile month so I'm trying to not feel too bad about my silly mistake.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell would consider arming teachers and principals to prevent another school shooting like the one last week in Newtown, Conn.
"There's been a knee-jerk reaction against that," McDonnell said Tuesday morning on WTOP. "I think we at least need to discuss that."
McDonnell, who has an A rating from the National Rifle Association, cautioned against seeking new restrictions on gun owners in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children and six adults dead. The shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, used an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle to fire dozens of rounds in a matter of minutes, hitting each victim multiple times, before committing suicide with a handgun.
Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung was slain when she tried to stop Lanza from reaching another group of students, and gun-rights advocates said she would have succeed in stopping him if she had a gun of her own.
Record gun salesThe day after the massacre in Connecticut elementary school, Virginians bought more guns than at any time since the state started tracking sales in 1989.
Gun stores did 4,166 background checks for gun purchases on Saturday -- the highest volume ever and a 43 percent increase from the same Saturday in 2011.
Sunday sales hit 1,828 transactions, up from 1,045 in 2011.
Gun sales spiked this year in Virginia, fueled by the re-election of President Obama and the end of the state's one-handgun-per-month law.
Through November, there were 357,267 transactions, up from 279,209 in 2011 -- a 22 percent jump.
"If a person like [Hochsprung] was armed and trained could they have stopped the carnage in the classroom?" McDonnell asked. "Perhaps."
However, teachers, for the most part, don't want guns in their classrooms, even if they're the ones holding them.
"I really don't understand how more guns anywhere helps us to avoid violence," said Steve Greenburg, president of the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers. "People who go into education did not go into education to handle guns."
McDonnell isn't the only Republican to suggest that guns in the classrooms could thwart school violence. Texas Gov. Rick Perry endorsed the idea at a Tea Party rally Monday.
But Virginia Democrats immediately denounced McDonnell's suggestion.
"Can you imagine if there had been a shootout at Newtown?" said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. "Even the NRA hasn't gone this far. Gov. McDonnell's statements were outrageous and insensitive."
McDonnell called for a review of safety procedures at schools throughout the state and said Tuesday that lawmakers in Richmond and Washington must also consider the role of mental health care, the nation's culture of violence and the values parents are teaching at home. He cautioned Congress to "not react solely when you're emotional."
Lawmakers may take up gun legislation when the General Assembly convenes next month, but Democrats insist they'll oppose any attempt to arm teachers.
"If we need to have armed people in schools to provide protection for our students," said Sen. George Barker, D-Alexandria, "then it needs to be public safety people."

Highlights of Labor Day racing which could impact the Breeder's Cup World Thoroughbred Championships at Santa Anita on Oct. 25:
$4 million Classic
--Dynever and Toccet were the "big names" in Monday's $750,000 Pennsylvania Derby at Philadelphia Park. But neither hit the board as Grand Hombre led a parade of longshots past the finish line. Grand Hombre, nearly 6-1 despite a 3-for-3 record, took charge in the stretch, winning by 5 1/4 lengths over Gimmeawink. Ashmore was third and Christine's Outlaw completed a superfecta that returned $38,661.70 for a $1 investment. Grand Hombre, a son of Grand Slam, ran 9 furlongs over a sloppy track in 1:49.03. Trainer Dennis Manning said he hasn't yet made further plans for the colt.
--On the other side of the nation, Joey Franco rebounded from a disappointing performance in his last race to win Monday's $250,000 Del Mar Breeders' Cup by 2 lengths over Reba's Gold. Grey Memo was third. The 1 mile went in 1:35 3/5. Joey Franco, a 4-year-old son of Avenue of Flags, won for the eighth time in 16 career starts. "He's really been training well coming up to this," said winning trainer Darrell Vienna. "I felt if we didn't have any bad racing luck and maybe some good racing luck today, we'd be pretty tough."
$1.5 million Bessemer Trust Juvenile
Tiger Hunt rallied from eighth in a field of 10 to win Monday's $200,000 Miller Genuine Draft Cradle Stakes at River Downs in Ohio by 1 1/4 lengths over Lightnin N Thunder. Tiger Hunt. Texas Deputy was third. Tiger Hunt ran 1 1/16 mile in 1:49, remaining undefeated after two starts. "He ran his first race like a veteran," said winning rider Larry Melancon. "That's why I liked his chances here so well." Both Tiger Hunt and Lightnin N Thunder are trained by Elliott Walden.
$2 million Distaff
Take Charge Lady, who just missed busting Azeri's winning streak the spring in the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park, set a course for a rematch with an easy win in Monday's $150,000 Arlington Matron Handicap. After relaxing early under jockey Shane Sellers, Take Charge Lady ... well ... took charge and jetted off to win by 10 1/2 lengths. She ran 9 furlongs over a muddy track in 1:50.19. "I think at some point we want to take her (Azeri) on again," said Take Charge Lady's trainer, Ken McPeek. "This filly is a top filly. I think we could have beaten her at Oaklawn with a little bit more luck. We're going to be in the thick of it with her for the Breeders' Cup." Lakenheath was second on Monday, with To the Queen third.
$2 million John Deere Turf
Shoal Water sat just behind pace-setting Sharp Impact through most of Monday's $100,000 Saranac Handicap for 3-year-olds at Saratoga, then took over in the stretch to win by 2 1/4 lengths. Urban King was up for second and Sharp Impact held third. Shoal Water, a Canadian-bred Smart Strike gelding, ran the 1 3/16 mile on "good" turf in 1:55.43. "We're going to take him back to Canada and take a look at the Jamaica Handicap" on Sept. 21 at Belmont Park, said winning trainer Mark Frostad.
$1.5 million NetJets Mile (turf)
Tour of the Cat led virtually all the way to a 2 1/2-length victory over Last Stand in Monday's $150,000 Miami Mile Breeders' Cup. Even though the event came off the turf, winning trainer Myra Mora said, "I would have run him on the turf but I wouldn't have been happy if it was soft turf, thought." Mora added, "I don't plan ahead too much. I just wait for him to tell me when he's ready and then I look for a spot."
News and notes
Six more Asian Racing Federation nations announced Sunday they have signed the "Good Neighbor Policy" first adopted last year by Japan and Hong Kong. The document pledges that signatory racing jurisdictions will not provide wagering to residents of other signatory jurisdictions without the permission of those jurisdictions. They also agree not to solicit, market or advertise wagering without prior authorization from other signatories. Ronald Arculli, Chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, called the signing "an important step in the fight against unauthorized offshore and illegal gambling and the danger it poses to our societies, to government revenue and to racing livelihoods." The new signatories are racing authorities from Australia, India, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and Turkey.

Dancer in the Dark | 2000
A Czech immigrant copes with her encroaching blindness by escaping into musical fantasies.
Jump to
Advokatfirman Nordia
Amnesty International
Ascot Hotel
Selma is a Czech immigrant, a single mother working in 1960s rural America. Her salvation lies in her imagination and her passion for music, specifically, the all-singing, all-dancing numbers found in classic Hollywood musicals. She is continually distracted by the rhythm of the presses and the clattering of the steel sinks and begins to imagine that she and her co-workers are in a musical. Selma harbors a sad secret: she is quickly losing her eyesight and her beloved son Gene stands to suffer the same fate if she can't put away enough money to secure him an operation. When a desperate neighbor falsely accuses Selma of stealing his savings, the drama of her life escalates to tragedy.

You get the feeling Tyrone Robertson has been there and done that.
The Georgia defensive lineman conducts himself with a certain businesslike casualness that resonates with self-confidence.
No caption was contained in the photo file
But as much as Robertson's care-free attitude gives the impression that he is an experienced, proven commodity, the coaching staff believes that there is one final hurdle he must clear before he becomes an impact player.
''He's just got so much God-given ability. He can do some things other guys can't do and still make the play,'' said Bulldog defensive line coach Rodney Garner, who isn't considered easy to impress. ''He's a very talented individual. I just wish that he would become a little more focused and determined because the only limitations Tyrone has are what he places on himself.''
Robertson is making progress in that department. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be in the position he is in this week, primed for his first career start after starter Marcus Stroud was injured against Tennessee. Stroud's knee ailment will keep him out at least this week and probably next.
Garner hasn't officially named Robertson the starter, but he leaves little doubt that the redshirt freshman from Danville, Va., will get the call over Brandon Miller and Josh Mallard.
''We'll see how the week goes in practice before we make that determination,'' Garner said. ''But I'd be hard-pressed to see anybody that we've got right now, unless Marcus got back, that could unseat Tyrone.''
The possibility of a start against Vanderbilt elicits no response from Robertson, who delivers all the right answers in his rapid-fire baritone voice.
''I approach each game the same way every week,'' he said. ''Just going out there and playing hard, playing every snap like it's my last one.''
Robertson has had time to ponder how easy it is to lose sight of one's dreams. Coming out of high school, he was rated as high as the fourth best defensive lineman in the nation by one recruiting service. He was named second-team All-USA by USA Today -- a distinction neither Stroud nor Richard Seymour.
He signed with nearby Virginia Tech, but he didn't qualify academically, so he went to prep school at Fork Union Military Academy, where he met Jasper Sanks. He became friends with the Georgia signee, who was also at Fork Union to get his academics in order, and when former Bulldog assistant Mickey Matthews showed up in Virginia to talk to Sanks, Robertson listened in.
Robertson grew to like Matthews more and more, and when it came time to sign all over again, there wasn't much of a choice.
''We talked about a lot of colleges, about different factors and all that,'' Robertson said. ''But it really came down to Coach Matthews. I really liked Coach Matthews, and I felt like he wouldn't steer me wrong. It was either here or North Carolina, and I came here.''
Matthews has since departed to become head coach at James Madison. But his faith in Robertson during the recruiting process has been justified, even if it took a little while.
Much like his buddy Sanks, Robertson reported for his first camp at Georgia terribly out of shape and he couldn't get the weight off during the fall. With plenty of bodies available on the defensive line, the decision was made to redshirt Robertson, and he quickly disappeared to the nether reaches of the practice fields: the scout team.
After the season, Robertson decided to be proactive about his future with the Bulldogs. He and Sanks rededicated themselves to conditioning in the off-season, with Robertson focusing on dropping his weight from 305 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame to a more manageable level.
''Every morning, at 5:30 in the morning, we got up and ran with Coach Joe (Tereshinski),'' Robertson said. ''We started eating right with our meals, cutting back, not eating late-night snacks. We kept each other on top of our jobs.''
By May, Robertson had his weight down to 270 pounds, and he has maintained that level throughout the summer and into the season. He also focused on his strength, lifting weights religiously. Getting back to Garner's point about Robertson's only limitations being self-imposed, the massive 20-year-old set a school record by squatting 620 pounds.
Robertson showed off his improved strength and agility in August on the practice field, where he earned high marks from coaches and more snaps with the first and second teams.
His work in the preseason helped him earn important playing time when the season started. Garner likes to rotate his linemen liberally, and Robertson was the first man in behind All-SEC candidates Stroud and Seymour. He has performed well, too, recovering a fumble against Utah State and sharing a sack with Bruce Adrine against South Carolina.
Robertson has averaged 25 to 30 snaps per game this season, and he doesn't see an increase in playing time as a reason for unnecessary
''I'm really getting a lot of repetitions,'' he said. ''So coming in and playing against anybody isn't really a spark for me, it's like we're going in on the rotation. Coach Garner rotates us anyway, regardless of what down it is and what position we're in.''
Garner's faith in Robertson is obvious, as is his optimism about where Robertson could go if he continues to work.
''Tyrone's played significant snaps this year. I'm confident that when he goes out there, he's going to do a good job,'' Garner said. ''You start looking at just big plays, the kid's made some really good plays, but he's being overshadowed by Marcus and Richard. For him to be a redshirt freshman, there's a lot of upside to him, and the positives far outweigh the negatives. And there are negatives, but they're things that are coachable that you can work around.''
Robertson has addressed most of the physical issues by getting himself into shape, and his body is a work in progress. Robertson said he hopes to be back up to ''290 pounds of solid muscle'' by the time he finishes his career at Georgia.
Now all that stands between Robertson and his official addition to the heralded crew of Georgia defenders is a little concentration, which is not to be confused with confidence.
''I've never doubted myself,'' he said. ''I really fear no one inside. . . . I don't feel like there's anybody in the SEC that I can't handle or can't defend against.''

She rode away from stage 3 breast cancer
Dave Rice 4:30 p.m., Oct. 19
After officers witnessed a young man leap from a second-story window of a San Marcos home this summer, deputy Jason Allen asked him what he was doing. "He said, 'Uh, breaking and entering?'" The deputy recalled the moment for a judge in court on December 2.
The hearing was for Steven Donald Forsyth, 23, who was arrested on July 10 in the Via Vera Cruz neighborhood; he was later charged with burglary and grand theft. Deputy Allen said that cash and more than $13,000 in stolen savings bonds were found on Forsyth when he was arrested.
The defendant was allegedly connected to another burglary, in Carmel Valley, when an investigator ran his name through a database of pawn-shop transactions. It was March 16 when Forsyth pawned an unusual sapphire-encrusted Rolex, and the accused man left his thumbprint on the pawn receipt, according to testimony.
A woman testified that the glittery $5000 watch she had purchased from a Tourneau store was stolen from her home on Torrey View Court on March 13 of this year. The woman expressed dismay that the owner of the pawn shop wants her to pay $1400 to recover her own watch.
"It's still there," she sighed.
Forsyth pleaded not guilty to four felonies and is next due in San Diego's North County courthouse on January 15.

LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. - Police in Lauderdale Lakes have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a man at a gas station on Sunday.
Police say Dwayne Dyer, 27, shot and killed 29-year-old Kemar Austin who was sitting in his parked car outside of a Citgo gas station at 4449 N. State Road 7.
They say Dyer approached Austin and fired several shots before leaving the scene.
According to investigators, Dyer also carjacked a woman in the presence of her three children and attempted to run over a Broward Sheriff's Office deputy.
According to BSO spokesperson Keyla Concepcion, Austin drove 10 blocks after being shot. He crashed his car into a median in the 3400 block of N. State Road 7. Austin was airlifted to Broward Health Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators now say that robbery may have been the motive for the shooting, since they have not found a connection between the suspect and the victim.

Sweet Sundays: Gardening Tips
Every year the same thing happens: I randomly buy plants with no rime or reason, and end up not liking the way things turn out (besides veggies, anytime I get a little harvest, I get super excited!)
The desire to do things differently in the garden started when I posted New Year, New You where I resolved to focus on getting more from our garden.
So this year, I started by planning everything out-I drew a little sketch with each place I wanted to plant things and made a list of what I wanted to plant, and only after doing this went to the gardening store.
After getting home, I set to work, and had a little helper:
Just look at that face! So, for this weeks Sweet Sunday, I thought I'd share Gardening Tips that will help you maximize your harvest or garden beauty, and minimize your time:
- Draw a sketch of the area (or planter pot) you want to garden
- Make a list of what you want to plant with the space you have
- Where possible, choose to plant perennials vs. annuals so that you'll have pants coming back year after year
- Set the plants you purchased in the spot where you want to plant them before digging, then take a step back and make sure you like the way it looks, then start digging.
- To get the optimal soil for plant growth, sprinkle organic top soil or compost on the ground, then dig a hole, mixing the dirt and top soil, plant the plant in the hole, then pat mixed dirt around the top on the plant.
- After you are done planting, water the garden to make sure the soil and plants get water after being planted.
- To suppress weeds, lay down a layer of mulch on top of the soil.
- To maximize your yield with pants like herbs, make sure you keep trimming them so they keep growing.
Here's to a great gardening season! Do you have any tips and tricks that work for you?

In Setting Up a Space for Homeschooling, Valorie discusses having a room specifically for homeschooling. I agree with her that having a room specifically for homeschooling would be a wonderful option, if you have room in the house for it. Sadly I don't, and neither do a lot of other people including her. As she said, just because you have a room designated for homeschooling doesn't mean you have to do all of your homeschooling in that room. If I had a room for homeschooling, its main purpose would be to have all of our homeschooling items in one place. What is one to do when they don't have the room to designate to homeschooling?
I know from experience that if you allow it to, homeschooling materials can and will take over your home. So how do you stop that from happening. You don't need to have everything in one place in order to have it organized and be able to find it when you need it. You also don't need to spend a lot of money to do this either, though being creative and willing to try new things won't hurt.
First, you need to look at the rooms you do have, and see what areas you have available. Here you will need to think out of the box. At first glance, many rooms look as if they don't have space for anything to be stored; however, if you look again, and I mean really look, you could be surprised. First there's usually floor space that is open that isn't seen. Throw a tablecloth or even a left over piece of material over that coffee table and end tables, and you have plenty of room beneath it. I even have homeschooling materials in our fish tank stand. Or, take two storage containers, throw a table cloth over them, and you have a new coffee table. Another place that is often overlooked is under the beds (no pun intended). A couple storage container in the right size under the bed can hold a lot. Now that we finished looking down, look up. Can you throw up some shelves around any of your rooms to hold some homeschooling items? Put the items in decorative containers, and people won't even realize that's truly what it's for. We have pens and pencils in a watering can up on a shelf, we have other tools in Pringles cans that Jonathan has decorated. What about ceiling space? Do you have room to put up a couple of hanging baskets?
Maybe you have room to add a couple of homeschooling storage units but you're on a tight budget and don't think you can afford them. Spend a week or two going to garage, yard and rummage sales. You are bound to find a couple of things that could work for you. There are a couple of tricks to doing it this way. First is going with a list of the things you need with the measurements, and sticking to that list. Second, haggle. That's part of the fun of going to garage sales. Know how much you have and want to spend on each thing and don't pay more than that.
So, you've tried the sales and still can't find what you need for the price you want, make some for yourself. There are plenty of websites that give free plans for building different shelves, bookcases, and storage compartments. Don't be afraid of picking up a hammer. If you are afraid of a saw, that's okay, have your wood cut when and where you purchase it. Most places will do it for free as it is already included in the price you are paying for the wood. Have the kids help you build what you need and you have your own woodworking class.

The Development of Money
For generations the people of the Balkan Peninsula and throughout the world did business by bartering goods. Items were traded directly for items of an equal value. Then, around 600 B.C., this all changed with the development of coin money.
At first, coins were produced by merchants as a type of credit system. Over time, the local city-states took over the responsibility of manufacturing coin money. This new tool allowed their economy to explode. Goods from all over the world were shipped into the area, while other items were shipped out.

The gutsy finish was symbolic of Tracy's own plight. Five years ago, a muscle in his right hand atrophied. Then a muscle in his left foot went. He was eventually diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. By fall 2010, the man who used to run with his athletes during practice was having trouble walking. It was time to tell the team. "There were a lot of kids crying," Tracy, 61, says.
Their despair runs deep. Under Tracy, the San Francisco University High School girls' squad has won eight state titles, more than any team in California history. The boys' team topped their division so many times that in 2010 they had to compete with larger schools. The teams owe their success to Tracy's meticulous data collection and tough love, his runners say. His yellow notepads overflow with the workouts and races of every one of his athletes, past and present. "Maybe I'm a great coach and maybe I'm not," says Tracy, who took over the program in 1998. "But when they perform at their level and don't quit, they sure make me seem like a great coach."
Says Reynolds, "You could ask him what some girl 10 years ago ran in a certain workout, just a workout, and he would have the information in his notepad." Tracy's runners know that if he says they can run a certain time, they can. And if they don't try their best, he'll sling one-liners like, "I wouldn't call that a race, but at least you got some exercise." Brutal honesty and spare compliments are Tracy's hallmark, and they have inspired his runners to work hard—and run hard. "You know if he says 'good job,' he really means it," says Reynolds.
This good work is now being rewarded. As Tracy must increasingly attend to his health, his runners (past and present) and their families are coming to his aid. They've partnered with the school to set up a fund to pay his medical expenses. "They've reached into their pockets to make sure that I can live a normal life for as long as I'm gonna live," Tracy says. "Their assistance has made my disease tolerable."
Meanwhile, Tracy will do what he does best. He might have trouble getting out of a car these days, but he is coaching his kids through one more season—maybe even one more championship (at press time, the championship had not yet taken place). "He wants us to run," says senior Duncan Hosie. "And we're going to do our best."

Closing the Loop: Contained Liquid-Coolers from Corsair and NZXT Comparedby Dustin Sklavos on December 26, 2012 12:01 AM EST
Conclusion, Part 2: NZXT
While I'm actually fairly familiar with Asetek cooling systems, this is the first time I've seen anything branded by NZXT. Much as Corsair did when they ventured into cooling, NZXT appears to be making careful steps, and the Kraken X40 and X60 are both distinctive products that have a good fit and finish to them. The Kraken Control software leaves something to be desired, though, with its reliance on an open source program that runs separately in the system tray to handle hardware monitoring duties. It's a minor quibble, but Corsair Link has been around for longer, and the difference really shows.
NZXT Kraken X40
Of the two Kraken solutions, it should be fairly obvious that the X40 is the weaker of the species. Pushed to the hilt it offers competitive performance, but it's awfully loud in the process. The Corsair H80i more or less runs roughshod on it for about $10 more. I suspect users willing to add a second fan to it may get a little more mileage, but NZXT's single stock fan is also actually pretty solid on its own.
NZXT Kraken X60
If like John Hammond in Jurassic Park you are prepared to spare no expense, NZXT's Kraken X60 sits squarely at the top of the food chain. Much as larger, more expensive ATX cases are often able to produce both excellent thermals and acoustics, so this most expensive closed-loop cooler is able to do the same. At its "Silent" setting it still produces the best thermals of the systems tested here, and if that's not enough and you're willing to crank up the volume, the "Extreme" setting performs better still. The Kraken Control software may need work, but the X60 is a tough act to follow.
Of the six coolers tested here, I can comfortably recommend three, and happily enough they all fit into pretty simple categories.
Users on a budget who want to "get their feet wet" will undoubtedly be satisfied with the Corsair H55. While it's still pricey compared to fantastic budget air coolers like Cooler Master's Hyper 212 Evo, it's inexpensive for a closed-loop liquid cooler, easy enough to install, and offers fairly competitive performance. On top of that, the fixed-speed stock fan is surprisingly quiet. $59 or less is totally reasonable for this cooler.
Users looking for the best 120mm cooler they can find are going to be best served by Corsair's H80i. The H80i is feature rich while offering compelling performance. The flies in the ointment are the fairly high price tag ($109) and mediocre mounting solution, but you do get Corsair's solid Corsair Link software, a five year warranty, and solid performance all around.
Finally, if you want the best closed-loop liquid cooler you can find, it's going to be tough to beat the NZXT Kraken X60. The price tag and quirky compatibility due to being a 280mm radiator instead of a 240mm make it tough to immediately recommend, and they need to refine their software, but the X60 is capable of producing frankly amazing performance that handily beats the other radiators we tested. Even better, it offers that performance at much lower noise levels. If you can afford it and you can fit it, the NZXT Kraken X60 is the one to beat.

AdamK47 - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkThe Water 2.0 Extreme is also made by Asetek. How does this stack up agaist the NZXT Kraken X60? Reply
DrPi - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkYes, I'd like to see that too. Reply
Havor - Friday, December 28, 2012 - linkAs it's radiator is about double the thickness of the X60, the X60 has about 35% more surface area, and better preforming 140mm fans.
Overall i think it will be a toss up, ware i personally place my bet on the Water 2.0 Extreme. Reply
tsponholz - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkI have the Water 2.0 Performance and I'm thoroughly pleased with it. I'd love to see this series put up against this group. Reply
jonjonjonj - Sunday, December 30, 2012 - linkI agree. I just got a water2.0 today but haven't installed it yet. It was on sale for $45. How can you beat that. Reply
EzioAs - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkThis thing performs extremely good. Silence and cool. Maybe it's one of the benefits of 2x140mm. Corsair should've move to 140mm for the H100i/H80i when they updated it. On the other hand, choices for aftermarket 140mm fans are much lower than 120mm even though that's where the market should be heading to as you said.
You said in the opening that not a lot of cases have a 140mm fan mount and dual 140mm are even less but for people who are buying these should have decent case already and most newer cases in the mid to high end segment can at least support a single 140mm.
I didn't see you mention about the fins on any of the rads. Any chance you could clarify that? Reply
phamhlam - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkMost new case come with 140mm standard for top and rear exhaust. This allows for both installation of 140mm and 120mm fans/radiator. I would be surprise to see a quality case manufacture not include one. Even mini-ITX and mini-ATX case use 140mm fan mounts. Reply
EzioAs - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkYes I did mention that chassis these days have a 140mm fan mounts but what I was trying to point out is that most people who wants to spend $80+ for a cpu cooler should at least have a decent quality case already and quality case should have 140mm fan mounts.
What I really want to know is about the fins on the rads. It's almost impossible for the performance gap for the X60 and the H100i to be that wide seeing as it's just a slight increase in surface area and both coolers seem to have quality fans already. I'm guessing the X60 has a higher fins per inch rad than the H100i. Reply
CaptainDoug - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkThis is exactly the review I've been looking for. This site puts out the best reviews. Reply
phamhlam - Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - linkThey also have the best benchmark list and very technical articles. Reply

What's being said
The citizens of our state of Florida should be furious at both Attorney General Biondi and our Governor Scott for appealing this decision. Our laws should be more inclusive giving every citizen equal rights under law. There is zero rational thought to taking an appeal to deny the rights of any two people who are in love and want to enjoy the legal benefits of marriage. The idea that our government would fight to take rights away from its citizens should sicken all of us, gay or straight. It is a sad day that our chief legal officer and her boss surge forward on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of justice. On the other hand, my gay brothers and sisters, keep your chins up ...this battle against injustice is nearing its end and one day the appellants will understand these words that were written long ago....We hold these truths to be self evident...that all men are created equal...
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable rights that our government should be fighting to protect, not to take away.
