9 wildest moments in Olympics history
By Melissa Breyer, Mother Nature Network
As we've come to know them, the Olympic Games are generally marked by all-out effort, serious officiating, precise timekeeping and strict regulations. This hasn't always been the case. From the start of their 19th-century renaissance until the mid-20th century, the Games seemed to have had a touch of slapdash zaniness, where disorganization resulted in everything from disappearing athletes to marathon runners drinking champagne on the course. Norwegian curling team pants aside, contemporary Olympics are a far less wacky affair. Here are some of the wildest moments from Games past.

Vegan Recipes Even a Meat Eater Can Love
Vegan recipes from Vegan Brunch, The Vegan Table, Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet and more.
By The Daily Green Staff
Vegan Split Pea Soup
This is perfect comfort food with a cooking time that offers a good excuse to relax with friends. To boot, its filling, packed with protein, brimming with fiber, low in calories and fat, and freezes well.
Vegan Tofu Spinach Lasagna
The tofu "ricotta" has a wonderful creamy texture and boasts all the familiarity of the traditional lasagna that most of us grew up with.
Vegan Red Velvet Cake
This vegan-friendly recipe for red velvet cake, complete with the buttercream frosting, is the perfect finish to any meal.
The Vegan Table
Colleen Patrick-Goudreau has created a comprehensive all-occasion vegan cookbook with The Vegan Table. The recipes are thoughtfully organized and cover everything from romantic dinners for two to holiday feasts to childrens parties and pretty much everything in between. Whatever your occasion, this book offers not one, but four (one for each season) menus to make it a success.
The next three recipes come from Patrick-Goudreau's newest book.
Vegan Chesapeake Tempeh Cakes
This vegan spin on a traditional Maryland crab cake pays homage to recent efforts to reduce pollution in the Chesapeake Bay.
Vegan Tempeh Sausage Pastry Puffs
These little squares are both flaky and hearty. They can be served as a fun brunch starter or as a great main event with some greens and gravy.
Vegan Tomato Rosemary Scones
These fragrant and savory scones turn out a pretty orange color and are flecked with fresh rosemary. The olive-y notes from the olive oil are great, but canola oil can also be used instead.
Vegan Brunch
In Vegan Brunch, Isa Chandra Moskowitz offers up animal-free versions of traditional and innovative brunch recipes alike. Featuring over 175 recipes from sweet to savory, Moskowitz transforms a meal that usually revolves around bacon and eggs into a vegan-friendly feast.
The Daily Green asked the author for three of her favorite recipes check them out here.
Mochi Waffles Drizzled with Lemon-Walnut-Rice Syrup
Alicia writes: "These are delicious. Mochi waffles are fun and easy for everyday eating, but they're also great to offer guests. Serve with a bowl of steamed collards and some tempeh bacon or Smart Bacon, and you have a quick, fantastic brunch."
Moroccan Couscous with Saffron
Alicia writes: "I adore couscous, and this is a wonderful way to prepare it. Not only is it tasty, it looks gorgeous on a big serving plate as the centerpiece of a meal. You can complement it with a simple salad or let it be the beginning of a feast that includes soup, hummus, and veggies. This recipe serves six, but you can halve it or just make a big batch and keep leftovers in the fridge."
Radicchio Pizza with Truffle Oil
Alicia writes: "When my friend Liz first taught me how to make this pizza, she used an organic, sourdough spelt crust, but really any whole grain crust will do. This pizza is perfect for dinner parties or just a cozy night at home."
Baby Bok Choy Drizzled with Ume Vinaigrette
Alicia writes: "I've highlighted the bok choy version of this dish because it's so pretty, but this same recipe made with cabbage and leeks is just as delicious and worthy of equal attention. Christopher and I absolutely lived off cabbage and leeks for years. I beg you to try both versions. There's something about the combination of the flaxseed oil, the sour of the vinegar, the freshness of the green and the seeds... Oh my God."
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Alicia writes: "Back in the day, I was obsessed with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Now I make this healthier version and they are way better. In fact, I think they are the most ridiculously delicious things in the entire world. Look for graham crackers that are naturally sweetened or low in sugar (Health Valley makes a good one), and store the leftover crackers or crumbs in an airtight container for future use."

Tal Ronnen
Quinoa, Avocado and Sweet Potato Timbale with Roasted Tomatillo Dressing Recipe
If there is such a title as a celebrity vegan chef, it would have to go to Tal Ronnen. Maybe you've seen Chef Ronnen on Oprah, or perhaps you scored an invite to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's wedding or Arianna Huffington's party at the Democratic National Convention. If you did, you would have sampled Ronnen's vegan fare there. This chef cooks in a classic French style and he's a recovering steak lover so he's great at easing you into the vegan lifestyle, and his cookbook The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat does just that. Try his Quinoa, Avocado and Sweet Potato Timbale with Roasted Tomatillo Dressing and then let us know if you miss the meat.
The Conscious Cook
When Oprah promotes a book it becomes a best seller, and when she loves a chef they become an international sensation, so the fact that Oprah has taken a shinning to Tal Ronnen and his book The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way you Eat is cause for celebration in the vegan world. Ronnen uses classic French cooking techniques to bring vegan dishes style and flare. Ronnen is a recovering steak lover, so for those of you not sure about this whole vegan mumbo-jumbo he starts off by "Busting the Top Five Vegan Myths." Interspersing charts, interviews with other chefs and important bits of info (like what Gardein is) among the recipes keep this cookbook lively and informative.

Police believe a Benzonia man drowned while attempting to retrieve his boat.
Michigan State Police said it appears Kevin Bromstead, 61, drowned in Glover's Lake in Manistee County's Pleasanton Township on Sunday at about 8 a.m. A witness called authorities after they saw a man calling for help in the water, but they were unable to get to him before he went under water.
A trooper found a small boat registered to Bromstead at the scene. It appears Bromstead's boat floated away from shore, and he drowned trying to recover it.

I've always wondered about how the Battle of Gettysburg would have gone if Hooker stays in command of the Army of the Potomac. So I ask you my panel of experts, does it play out the same way? Hooker was more aggressive I believe than Meade. But the high ground of Gettysburg was so strong does he stay on defense? Would he have pursued Lee more aggressively afterwards? Hooker was a very capable general. Although he had a tendency of stabbing his superiors in the back. Anyway just curious to everyones thoughts on Hooker at Gettysburg. . |

Difficult. I think Chancellorsville would have been a case of utter failure makes recklessness with Hooker wanting to avenge his defeat. With how well secrets were kept in the war the North probably knew Jackson was dead and Hooker would have probably felt that that would have meant there wouldn't be another Chancellorsville. However, if we say that Day 1 goes the same as it does with Meade, then Hooker may have felt that he had a defendable position and might have held it without getting aggressive. If he remained on the defensive then I think he could have won. But I think had he gotten aggressive then Chancellorsville would have come back to haunt him. |

I do not think Meade had much to do with Day 1, so he inherited the Cemetary ridge line. He recognized it as being an excellent postion and he took advantage of it. He also knew Lee's penchant for being aggressive and I am sure he knew all he had to do was wait for Lee to attack. Hooker on the other hand did have the Chancellorsville debacle from his past and would have been looking to redeem himself. I do believe he would have been more aggressive which would have made Gettysburg even more bloody than what it was. I am not sure that by him being more aggressive would have made much of a difference in the battle since in the real battle the Union did have a lot more troops and some corps that did not see much action at all. Interesting what if. Cleburne |

I'm torn on how he would have fought the battle. I can see it playing out both ways as far as aggressiveness on Hooker's part. He would want to redeem himself after Chancellorsville. So would he realize how good a position he was in defensively or want to deal a counterblow and get ppayback for Chancellorsville. Also would Sickles do his stupid advance with a commander like Hooker in charge? I kind of wonder if Sickles advanced because he thought Meade inexperienced in overall command and didn't know what he was doing sort of thing. |

Sickles was a Hooker man. I've seen it argued that he either misunderstood Meade's order on the Day 2 or deliberately ignored the order because he didn't like Meade being in command. If he misunderstood Meade's order, then he could do the same with Hooker. But if deliberately disobeyed the order, then you have to think he probably wouldn't have done the same if Hooker was still in command. |

Hooker didnt know how to use cavary very effectively, he used his cavary predominately at chancellorsville to guard the supply wagons... if he had done the same during the gettysburg campaign then gettysburg my have never of happened. But if he had used them effectively and the 1st day went the same i think Hooker would have been very cautious. Chancellorsville taught him what cockiness can do to a commander Then you have to wonder about the night of the 2nd. would Hooker listen to the opinion of his corp commanders? He didnt at Chancellorsville. One hard day and i think he would have pulled back to a new defensive position. Last edited on Sun Nov 6th, 2011 04:43 am by csamillerp |

Inside Llewyn Davis
Oscar Isaac, John Goodman
Directed by: Joel & Ethan Coen
When the Coen brothers decide to make a movie about the Greenwich Village folk-music scene in the 1960s, they don't screw around. Not content to capture the sights and sounds, they fix it so you inhale the place. They have help, of course: Jess Gonchor's detailed production design, Bruno Delbonnel's camera eye for light and shadow, and T Bone Burnett's keen ear for roots music that he brought to the Coens' O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Out of the Furnace
Christian Bale, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson
Directed by: Scott Cooper
This is only Scott Cooper's second film as a director, but he already knows how to bring out lived-in authenticity in actors. His 2009 debut with Crazy Heart resulted in an Oscar win for Jeff Bridges. Out of the Furnace walks meaner streets than that country ramble. The film opens in 2008, with Obama calling for change and no one buying it in Braddock, Pennsylvania, where you work in the Carrie Furnace mill, if you're lucky enough to work at all. Remind you of The Deer Hunter much? ... | More »

It could have been crazy-good trash: Jason Statham as a widowed DEA agent, moving to a small town with his young daughter; James Franco as a local meth dealer named Gator; Winona Ryder as Gator's trashy whore; Kate Bosworth as his junkie sister. Everyone cast against type. Everyone breathtakingly bad, reciting dialogue by Sylvester Stallone that begs for a "mute" button. Rated OMG. | More »
Josh Brolin, Elisabeth Olsen

Josh Brolin is such a fine, intuitive actor that matching him up with Spike Lee, an uneven, untethered, not-afraid-to-fail director, to Americanize Park Chan-wook's 2003 Korean cult classic Oldboy exudes potential. On paper. What's onscreen feels squeezed, truncated and curiously embalmed. It's got no kick to it. Brolin gives his all and then some playing Joe Doucett, a workaholic ad exec who neglects his estranged wife and young daughter in pursuit of his next drink. After an ... | More »

In a year of weak animated features, Frozen – loosely based on "The Snow Queen" – takes the lead by default. There's not much flair in the story of princess sisters Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel), divided by Elsa's uncontrollable ability to turn things, even Anna, to ice. But the animation is pretty, the songs are tuneful, and Josh Gad gets big laughs as Olaf, a snowman with a sun fetish. It's the holidays, people, work with it. | More »

I like it so much I was thinking of buying a second one.
This ring sparkles and is truly gorgeous. I am considering returning because you truly need 2 of them they are thin and the ring is a little uncomfortable a channel setting would be more comfortable for me. Lastly I'm not sure I can afford two of theses now in today economy.
Returned this, more than half of the stones were cloudy and had no shine or sparkle what so ever other than the surface reflection. I wonder about the clarity rating....I3 is more consistent in my opinion. The picture is not at all accurate.
Product of good quality and actually as described. Best of all was the customer service. Very efficient and helpful
very happy with purchase, looks very nice between engagement ring and wedding band, adds a lot of sparkle.
I was very leary of purchasing this ring over the computer, but was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is. It is very well made, and has a lot of sparkle to it. I am very pleased with my purchase.
This ring is more than I expected. It looks beautiful on my finger. Perfect size to either wear with other rings or by itself. Just lovely and well worth the money.
This is a wedding ring purchased for me by my new husband --it is exactly what I wanted. I am an emergency room nurse and needed something lower profile that would not be caught on gloves. It is pretty--lots of sparkle and I absolutely love it!

Updated Jan 11, 2013 - 9:41 pm
Why did Justin Upton veto a trade to the Seattle Mariners?
After three long offseasons of persisting trade rumors, the question has to be asked: Why would Upton veto a trade that would have finally sent him out of town?
1. Rain
On average, Seattle has more than 150 days of precipitation per year. The Emerald city also averages 35.9 inches of rain per year. Phoenix by comparison has less than a month of precipitation days per year and 7.8 inches of rain.
2. Safeco Field
Without question, Safeco Field is a beautiful place to take in a ball game. With that said, the 54,000-seat stadium is by no means a hitter's park. According to ESPN.com, since the stadium opened in 2000, the Mariners have scored the fewest runs and have the worst batting average of any American League team during that span.
In 2012, Safeco Field averaged just 1.43 home runs per game. By comparison, Chase Field had 2.15 fly out of the yard per game (58 more over the course of the season).
3. Home/road splits
During his five-year MLB career, Upton has taken full advantage of Chase Field's hitter-friendly dimensions.
Over the past three seasons, Upton has batted .253 with 26 home runs and 93 RBI away from Chase field. However at home, the former No. 1 overall pick is considerably better, batting .311 with 39 home runs and 131 RBI. His OPS is also .189 higher in games played in the Valley.
And there's this reason, provided by Arizona Sports 620's Paul Calvisi on Friday:
Would a player veto a trade to SEA because he's building a house? Sources tell me Justin Upton is in middle of building a dream house in PV
— Paul Calvisi (@PaulCalvisi) January 12, 2013
Either way, Upton remains a D-back for now. Whether that's still true heading into spring training, well, that remains to be seen.

Mine was Mudkip, I'd like to know what everyone else thinks
Mine was Mudkip, I'd like to know what everyone else thinks
My eternal pokemon team: (All 9 year old pokemon)
Mudkip is my favorite as well, I found it to be very good when playing through the games.
Put your hands in mine, ride through space and timePokécheck
All the way up here, it's all bright and clear
Right here, right now, is how far we've come
Treecko was my first pokemon, so of course Ive always loved it :3 but mudkip has really been growing on me and I think Im starting to like it a little more haha ^^
Mudkip. It would be Treecko, but I don't really like Sceptile.
Blaziken has ALWAYS been one of my favorite final forms. The first Fire/Fighting-type Pokemon, capable of learning some killer moves (ThunderPunch, Earthquake, Brick Break, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Aerial Ace etc.) and, as the generations went on it, he got better.
But even when I was playing Emerald for the first time, I had a soft spot for Torchic.
Torchic. My Blaziken, when I was playing Emerald for the first time, was one of the most useful members of my team, and as such, I've loved it ever since. Torchic is adorable as well, to the point that when I got Sapphire recently, my starter was Torchic. (Nicknamed Mekigo)
This is Bidoof. Many people loathe it with their lives. If you are of the few people who love this little beaver, put this in your sig. Started by Earth Wolf-Howl (formerly Warrior Scolipede)

Captured: (Tuscany) (RE), (Skylar) (RE), (Vitticepa) (CF), (Fisk) (CF), (Draco) (CF), (Pyrite) (HH) (Deirdre) (CF)
Torchic. I always liked Blaziken a lot.

I've loved Swampert since I was 5 years old, I still have him too. That's the reason I love Mudkips so much
My eternal pokemon team: (All 9 year old pokemon)
I think the gen 3 starters were a good set of starters. Torchic was my favourite, then Mudkip!
I like Mudkip the most. Very versatile, good against a lot of the gyms, solid for E4 as well. Torchic is solid too, but fairs a little worse against gyms, and I personally don't find fighting/fire to be a useful party slot. Treeko can be used well competitively, but barely learns any moves as you level in-game, has no versatility, and overall sucks.
The Torchic line would be my favorite out of the three.

My favourite starter n 3rd generation starter is probably Treecko. I like Treecko better because he looks epic. I like its design. The idea of a Gecko was a great and it was well represented with Treecko. But, I really liked Swampert don't mistake me for saying Mudkipz I liked Swampert. Treecko was my favourite non evolved starter, Sceptile my favorite second stage starter (if thats how you say it) and my favourite fully evolved starter was Swampert. Swampert was just one bulky Pokemon. I loved how he is a swamp Pokemon. Anything that has to do with swamps is boss in my opinion.

My Friend Code is 3136-6575-8714
VM me your Friend Code if you're interested and tell me what Pokemon you have.
Treecko, mudkips too overrated, Not a big fan of Torchic either
My favorite is Mudkip. Treecko is second
Pokemon Black 2 Team:
White 2:
I liek mudkipz. srsly.
It makes the game so easy, and if you throw on a swellow, you can beat the game with just those 2.
Looking for Duskull/dusclops, or a safari with one. PM or VM me about it if we're on at the same time.
You can be anything you want on the internet. Why do so many people choose to be stupid?
Mudkip its so cute plus its evolutions are better the Torchic and Treekos in my opinion.
Blaziken and Torchic. >,> They're both awesome.
Mudkip. That was the first starter I picked while playing the Hoenn games, and Swampert only has one type it's weak towards, although it's 4x effective.
When I first got Ruby, I started with a Treecko. Ever since then I always have--I've still picked other things, though.
Mudkip was always my favorite I don't know why because I love fire types more then water types but I chose Mudkip more using Torchic in a close second and rarely using treecko.

The economies studied in the symposium are Australia and Korea, and the industries are automobile (and auto parts) manufacturing and retail banking. In both countries, labour unions play a key role in the way in which employers and governments react to political and economic pressures.
Among the particular topics discussed by the contributors are the following:
The contributing authors are all industrial relations authorities in Australia or Korea. The in-depth analysis they offer in these very specific areas will be of value to labour lawyers and industrial relations scholars everywhere for the light it sheds on this crucial aspect of contemporary social and economic development.

There are many SDxx firmware version. I haven't been through the whole forum, but it seems SD1A, specificaly, is not affected by the "RAID" or "Controler specific" problem.
Of course, I only have CCxx firmware, and downgrading to SDxx is not possible, stating the support team.
Hi guys,
What a frustrating problem! I can confirm that my drive is part of the 7200.11 family (it says so on the drive sticker). I really wish there was better diagnostic tools for RAID arrays. I complained to Seagate and Intel back in August '08 when I first had some trouble with the drive. SeaTools won't scan the drive, and the Intel software gives no specifics. It just says an SMART error... that's all. Makes it hard to know what is really going on.
When a drive would fall out of the array.. I would usually reboot and it was fine. Or I might have to set the status to 'normal' in the Intel RAID tool. Then I was ok again (for awhile). As time went on.. it became more difficult to reset the array. And now I can't get it to come back online. I don't think my drives are 'bricked' as the BIOS does see the drive. I was hoping to recover the data.. but maybe I should just re-format and re-initialize the array? Or is this a hardware problem and I should RMA the drive? Makes it hard when I can't get the Seatools to run a SMART test.
Something your could try is to boot a Live Linux CD (perhaps Ubuntu 9.04) and run the Linux SMART utilities. This assumes that Linux knows how to use that controller -- I imagine that it does. This could save you recabling to do testing.
The linux command to print out all SMART status of a drive is something like:
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
The linux command to initiate a SMART long drive self-test is something like:
sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sda
sudo means run this command as the superuser.
smartctl is the program to talk SMART to the disk drive
-a means print almost everything; do it again after the DST has completed to see the results
-t long means run the long DST. -t short would start the short one.
/dev/sda1 means the first disk. I'm just guessing at what the right path might be.
These commands need to be run in a terminal window. Kind of like the window in Windows that you can use to run CLI commands.
Thanks for the Linux tip. I did try to boot from my fedora live cd, but had some trouble.
I did run SeaTools DOS and it didn't work. DOS graphical didn't load (got hung up on the blue/green screen), and the DOS test program did not see my SATA drive. The Seatools Windows will see the drive but will only run the generic test. It's frustrating to not be able to test this drive and know if it's good or bad. I shouldn't have to reformat it right? Does the formatting matter when you run Seatools?

Finally, some good news to report...
I had been working with LSI support (my HBA vendor) to get my SAS3800x working. They had sent me a firmware upgrade that would not install because I had a pre-production hardware version. So, a quick email to the person on eBay that sold me the card got me a refund. I purchased a brand new retail LSI SAS3800x and installed it. The SAS3800x is a PCI-X card and is installed in my HP Proliant DL380G3.
The HBA is currently configured as a JBOD -- not strictly a RAID volume... BUT, I was even having problems with this configuration before.
Now, I have 4x CC1H drives attached (via SAS/Infiniband) and working without any noticable issues. Throughput is a little lower than I had hoped -- ranges from approx 25-35MB/sec per drive.
I DO have some occassional errors in my System Event Log from the LSI controller -- but LSI thinks it might be a controller firmware issue. Apparently, I still have an old version of firmware on this HBA. Since it is working, I will just wait until a convenient time to re-flash.
Here's what is next on my research / testing attempts:
I am attempting to connect another box to this JBOD, a Media Center Server that only has PCIe slots available -- so I've ordered the LSI SAS3801e card and will let you guys know how that goes. This card will replace a current HighPoint 2322 HBA that is connected to the same JBOD and is giving me a hard time with these Seagate ST31500341AS drives... That PC currently has both SD1B and CC1H drives connected to it -- drives with either firmware versions intermittently drop out or become non-responsive. But even when they are working, the throughput is abyssmal. I rarely get > 5-10 MB/sec out of the drives connected to the HighPoint HBA...
BTW: All of theses SD1B and CC1H drive work FINE when directly connected to motherboard SATA ports. Throughput is usually very zippy, reliably around 40 MB/sec.
original system specs:
Asus P6T, with Intel ICH10R raid controller
Vista x64
3x 7200.11 1TB drives in Raid 5
1.5GB/s Jumpers removed
Old firmware (CCxx I think?)
This setup worked great for 6 months after I bought it. Then, one of the drives had a hard failure (long & short generic fail), and seagate replaced the drive without issue ( ). Since then, however, the longest the array will work before becoming degraded is a day or two. iastor errors, and one drive (different each time) will be dropped from the array. Then it gets to rebuild for a couple days, during which the computer is barely useable.
I updated the firmware on all the drives to SD1A right after getting the replacement drive (has not seemed to solve anything).
The Intel raid software is the latest (AFAIK).
I did purchase another 1TB as a spare, and got a 7200.12 model, with SD1A firmware. It is currently in the computer with two 7200.11s, with a 7200.11 on the shelf as a spare.
Just today I put the jumpers back on the drives to limit them to 1.5GB/s.
My First temporary solution is going to be to put all four drives in the computer in a Raid10 array (two drives striped, then a mirror of that).
Then, once we get more money, my real solution will be some Samsung F1 raid drives (they're much cheaper than the seagate NS drives).
I'm mostly frustrated with why it worked fine for 6 months, but now is degraded more than it's up and working.
You are not supposed to replace CCxx firmware with SDxx firmware. The drives are supposed to use the same firmware series that they came with, where series seems to be the first two letters.
You can tell what firmware a drive shipped with: it is on the label. Could you check and report back what firmware each drive was shipped with? Before the latest upgrade, had you updated any drives firmware or were they all as-shipped?
It is interesting that replacing one drive causes several different drives to act up. On the other hand, you did change all the firmware, so perhaps all drives could be considered changed.
When a drive is dropped from the array, what is going on? Many previous reports (but not all) describe disks as not responding to I/O commands until the next reboot.

The Thermo Scientific OmniPac® PCX-100 column is a microporous, solvent-compatible, high-capacity, cation-exchange column designed for the separation of hydrophobic cations, such as amines, drugs, and metabolites.
- cid, base, and solvent compatible, pH 0–14
- Good for organic cations
- Ideal for the separation of very hydrophobic cations
- Good for the separation of halogenated cations
The OmniPac PCX-100 column is a specialty cation-exchange column for the separation of low-molecular-weight cations, especially organic analytes. Group 1A and 2A inorganic cations are best separated on the IonPac CS12A column, which is also solvent compatible. The OmniPac PCX-100 column is 100% solvent compatible and should always be run with at least 1% organic solvent in the mobile phase.
The OmniPac PCX-100 is manufactured using a microporous substrate agglomerated with a sulfonated latex bead layer that carries the cation-exchange functionality. The cation-exchange layer is the same as that used in the OmniPac PCX-500 column, and consequently the ion-exchange characteristics of these two columns are identical. The OmniPac PCX-100 column can be used to separate hydrophobic cationic analytes such as amines, anilines, antidepressants, drugs, and metabolites (such as methotrexate and folic acid).

It depends on what you're in the mood for. I just finished The Devil's Double which was awesome. Based on the true events of an Iraqi Lieutenant who's forced to be Uda Hussein's body double. It has the feel of a modern Scarface as we watch as he's pulled into a world of depravity and violence.
If you're into series they also currently have the Twin Peaks series. Created by David Lynch the story revolves around the murder of high schooler Laura Palmer. Everyone is a suspect and everyone is... let's just say offbeat. Including the lead FBI investigator. "Damn good coffee!" Even though it's 22 years old, the show is still edgy by todays standards.
Breaking Bad. If you like Walking Dead you'll love Breaking Bad.
Tubbs has a new home
Do they still have Weeds? If so I recommend that.
They have every episode of Star Trek from all 6 series. Some movies.
Alot of WWE-owned documentaries and compilations from several federations
The original Twilight Zone series
Plus tons of foreign stuff from all countries (they just added Battle Royale, should be required viewing, I'm talking to you, Cipher...)
And thats just the streaming.

You prefer the comfort of empty, unused space instead? I say bring it on. Unless you want to run SLI/CrossFire (or have a mini ITX system) there won't be an issue. I never have anything in those other slots below the video card anyway, so why not use the space for to enable better cooling/performance/noise?
like you said, reserving some empty space will be nice breathing rooms for multi-gpu setups. it also wouldn't hurt to have some spare PCIE/PCI slots if I need to get like a sound card, network card, SSD or any other types of expansion card one day. i do agree though, for those that doesn't use these slots in the first place, sacrificing these space for better performance is reasonable. Its just that, being an owner of the accelero twin turbo, I can easily see the amount of space between the PCB and the fin array means it shouldn't be too hard to make the thing less bulky
I see similar PR copy and paste. More "eye-popping" here too. What a silly expression. Oh, if only I also got paid a silly marketing salary just to copy and paste asinine phrases. Also not sure about the claims of improved performance/watt vs. 460. Doesn't w1z's excellent review and benchmarks of the 560 show this is categorically untrue.
I've always found the Sparkle releases somewhat rediculous. Sure they look good and cool fine, but they always tend to charge so much for them that you could buy the next tier model for little to no extra money (in this case a GTX570). They just epitomize the global rule that a company can drive up prices by adding a unicorn to the box.
the nice thing about being a computer enthusiast is that we buy good parts. That being the case, if you have a half-way decent motherboard, it will probably have a PCI-Express x1 slot above the PCI-Express x16 slot for the video card that is perfect for popping in a new sound card with just such an interface. If perhaps you have an older card that uses the PCI interface, there is usually one at the very bottom of the board (furthest from the video card. So even if you did want to add a dedicated sound card, TV tuner, wireless card, etc, there is still probably four slots open and free (assuming you are using a regular ATX motherboard).
All i gots to say if you buy a card that big with that big box, you better be able to play any game out there on the market at max with 50-60 frames all the time, seriously. How much is this card like 300 bucks?

I have connected and uploaded the new code via mission planner. I have gone through the setup with the CLI and MP. When I slide the switch forward to the fly position and try to connect to the mission plannner it never connects even with gps lock? I've even tried to connect via Xbee's set at 56700, but nothing. All the lights are good "A" is solid green. I do NOT have it conneccted to the Rx or ESC does that matter? I'm trying to make sure everything is working first.

A driver ended up in jail on theft charges after plugging into a school's outlet without permission. The kicker: He got maybe 5 cents worth of juice for his trouble. The mess began when Kaveh Kamooneh drove to his son's middle school to watch his kid play tennis. He spotted an exterior outlet and plugged in his Nissan Leaf, only to get stopped by a police officer after about 20 minutes. The officer filed a report, and police showed up on Kamooneh's doorstep 11 days later to arrest him. He then spent 15 hours in jail. Kamooneh acknowledges he didn't ask permission to juice up, but he adds that it was a Saturday morning and nobody was around. "A theft is a theft," says one police sergeant.
Weird enough is that a 28-year-old man in Kenya got hit with a 10-year jail sentence for bestiality after being caught having sex with a goat. (Apparently the goat's owner spotted his neighbor in the act.) But weirder still is that the goat itself was brought into court for the sentencing. As one source puts it, "the female goat watched quietly in the corner of the court room as her attacker was jailed for bestiality."
An 11-year-old entrepreneur in Portland, Oregon, got a strange lesson in grown-up economics when she tried to sell mistletoe near the city's public market. A security guard informed her she'd have to move outside the city park's boundaries—or she could just plunk down on the sidewalk and simply ask people for money. "I don't want to beg," says Madison Root, who was trying to make a few bucks to help pay for new braces but opted against the suggestion. "I would rather work for something than beg." One bright spot: A viewer who saw the story on the local news promptly placed 30 orders.

Very disappointed
I was so looking forward to my delivery of these boots but when the arrived, 2 weeks from my order date, I was very disappointed. When I took them out of the box they looked very stiff and the green liner sticking out of the top was hard to the touch. I put them on and they were very, very snug. It felt like I had a cast on my foot! Really they are so small I could not wear them for any length of time with out pain. I ordered my regular size 9. They are also very tight in the calf, not like the picture on the website looked. I could barely get my skinny jeans down in them. Not looking forward to waiting another 2 weeks delivery time if I exchange them.

Midwest Sports Fans:
The NHL playoffs started on April 30. On June 8, the Chicago Blackhawks topped the L.A.

It took until June 24 for the Blackhawks to dispatch of the Boston Bruins and claim another section of engravings on the Cup. Hockey fans wouldn't have it any other way, because the payoff is so sweet. That payoff, of course, is Lord Stanley's Cup, which has been around in one incarnation or another since 1892. That fact alone makes the Stanley Cup one of the best trophies in sports. Here's my list of the 10 greatest trophies in the sporting world. They're all not a "trophy" in the most literal sense, but they all fall into the dictionary definition of a trophy being "something gained or given in victory or conquest." I graded the trophies on a scale of 1 through 10 on aesthetics, history, and the difficulty in obtaining each. 10. Borg-Warner Trophy, Indianapolis 500 winne...

You have been diagnosed with cellulitis. This is an infection in the deepest layer of the skin. In some cases, the infection also affects the muscle. Cellulitis is caused by bacteria. The bacteria can enter the body through broken skin. This can happen with a cut, scratch, animal bite, or an insect bite that has been scratched. You may have been treated in the hospital with antibiotics and fluids. You will likely be given a prescription for antibiotics to take at home. This sheet will help you take care of yourself at home.
Take the prescribed antibiotic medication you are given as directed until it is gone. Take it even if you feel better. It treats the infection and stops it from returning. Not taking all of the medication can also make future infections hard to treat.

The agent representing Bucs receiver Mike Williams and general manager Mark Dominik had a "very productive" meeting at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, creating optimism the sides can agree on a contract extension. But agent Hadley Engelhard said the time line has been pushed back, with the Bucs asking for time to get through the busy months ahead. "I met with Mark, and it was a very productive meeting," Engelhard said. "We are progressing toward a new contract for Mike, but they've asked us to be patient to let them get through free agency and the draft. We've agreed to be a little less aggressive and give them some time. The target date right now would be sometime in May." The financial aspects of the conversation don't appear to have advanced far, but Engelhard said there is significant willingness on both sides to reach a deal. "Mike really likes Tampa, and they like Mike," Engelhard said. "He's definitely outplayed his fourth-round compensation (a four-year deal believed to be worth $3.1 million), and they want him to be a part of the future."
