Surprisingly excellent! Shame about the title of the movie!
By a customer from SW London , 30 Oct 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
If you're craving to watch a movie of substances with a superb storyline and excellent actors, then you need to watch this movie.While the movie title is unimaginative, the movie is so much better.It's the coming of age movie of a young pretty, promising girl in the 60's.Caught between her demanding father's plans for her to go to Oxford and the exciting grown up world of classical music concerts and supper clubs that her older boyfriend introduces her to, she is faced with some hard decisions on which road she needs to follow.What I really liked about this movie is how perceptive and intelligent Jenny is (Carey Mulligan), more so than her insecure, over demanding parents. Clearly times have changed (and thank goodness) because these days a 30 something man pursuing a 16 year old would be looked at as a paedophile stalking a young woman, but in the movie, her father didn't seem to mind at all,in actual fact he seemed to have been only too eager that his child be courted by this older man, for the simple fact that this bloke claimed to know CS Lewis!!!.No questions asked. Being young, bright and pretty, Jenny wanted to know that her life wasn't going to be a continuous sameness that she sees in her parents life. But when temptation comes her way, and what seems like gold, is not all that, Jenny comes to the realisation that in life you cannot take shortcuts and cram everything you think is exciting before you are ready. Brilliant!Cannot recommend it enough, it is a must see!- Was this review helpful to you?

By urban-redhead (14 reviews) , 20 Aug 2013A very enjoyable film. I agree a rediculous title which didn't do it justice. All actors were supberb. i always smile in these situations as although he was a 'bad man' - his wife was equally stupid to tolerate his attitude, so the 'bad man' will never have to alter - so he is a bad but ow so clever man.- Was this review helpful to you?

Essential viewing
By Kirkcudbright (24 reviews) , 03 Feb 2013I loved this. How come some films are really famous and some aren't? All the performances are excellent, and you really care what happens. Should be part of the 6th form curriculum! A film about growing up, and truth, and accepting responsability, I guess, but not limited to teenagers- I think we've all been there more than once, and we'll keep going back there too, and it's nice to have such an intelligent protagonist to tell our story. And some good female roles- it's kind of like a british french film, but better- does that make sense? Don't know where the other reviewers are coming from with the whole 'grooming/child abuse' angle- I didn't get that at all. Yeah, cool film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Recipe by sammyc14
"This can be kept in the refrigerator for at least a week. You can also omit the mayonnaise from the recipe if you need to. Tastes great on fish tacos or burgers!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup paleo mayonnaise
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime, juiced
1 clove garlic
Really good recipe! We don't eat Paleo, so I just used regular mayo. I ended up using an extra chipotle pepper and it wasn't that spicy. Don't be afraid of the peppers! Easy to make and the flavors just come alive the longer you let it sit. I served this with the Grain Free Chicken Tenders from this site. Yum!
My family and I loved this dip!!! Made it for dinner tonight with chicken stripes and needed up using it as a dip also for our steamed veggies and it was incredible!! Great taste and not too spicy. I will be keeping this in my frig at all time.

Great Recipe! For More than 350 Healthy Paleo recipes, visit http://www.mobilemoneyacademy.net/thepaleobook/
Excellent sauce! I used Duke's mayo (what's a paleo ?!), and made the sauce according to directions thereafter. I thought 2 chiles in adobe was spicy - luckily we like the heat. If I were to make this for company, however, I would use 1 1/2 chiles. The sauce was delicious paired with Chicken Diablo which I bought already made from Central Market. The sauce competed with the chicken a bit, but Hubs ate every morsel.

How Much Plastic Do Fish Eat? Lots.
Monday, July 11th, 2011How much plastic do fish eat? The short answer is a lot.
With more than 250 million tons of plastic being produced a year, over seven million tons ends up in the world's oceans. The University of California, San Diego's researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography estimated over 9 percent of fish caught during their expedition in the North Pacific ocean gyre had small bits of plastic in their stomachs. This translated to up to 24,000 tons in this part of North Pacific alone.
The researchers caution that this figure is most likely an underestimate. The 9 percent figure doesn't reflect the circumstances in which fish die, regurgitate or pass plastic fragments.
Once a fish has plastic in it's stomach, the fish itself can absorb toxins into its body from the plastic. Then anything in the food chain that eats that fish, from other sea creatures to humans, is ingesting those toxins.
Did you just eat a plastic bag with that fish stick?

Many millions of years ago, the Southern Desert was the bottom of a vast sea. By 10 million years ago, the waters had receded and the climate was hospitable to prehistoric mastodons, zebras, and camels. The first human inhabitants of record were the Agua Caliente, part of the Cahuilla people, who settled in and around the Coachella Valley about 1,000 years ago. Lake Cahuilla dried up about 300 years ago, but by then the Agua Caliente had discovered the area's hot springs and were making use of their healing properties during winter visits to the desert. The springs became a tourist attraction in 1871, when the tribe built a bathhouse (on a site near the current Spa Resort Casino in Palm Springs) to serve passengers on a pioneer stage highway. The Agua Caliente still own about 32,000 acres of desert, 6,700 of which lie within the city limits of Palm Springs.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - All the tenants of an apartment building ...
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine officials are urging residents that are ...
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - A spokeswoman for the Maine Beer and Wine ...
FALMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Public health officials with the Maine Center for Disease Control are urging people to be vigilant about their exposure to ticks when enjoying the outdoors.
Since the mid-1980's, when lyme disease first started to appear in Maine, the number of people who have become infected with tick borne diseases has grown steadily. While the majority of those people who became infected lived in or visited southern, coastal Maine, the disease has spread to all counties in the state.
"You know, growing up, I was pretty much unaware of ticks," admitted State Epidemiologist, Dr. Stephen Sears, who was born in Portland. "[In the mid-80's] we'd see a dozen, two dozen [cases of lyme disease]. This year we have already seen 500. We saw 1000 cases last year."
But lyme disease is not the only tick borne illness that has caught Dr. Sears' attention.
"Ticks carry multiple diseases and it shouldn't be surprising that we are hearing about another one," he explained. "Lyme is still the one we are most concerned about because it is the most common, but we want to make sure people know about these other diseases."
Sears says anaplasmosis, another disease which can be transmitted to people and pets when bitten by an infected tick, has been slowly increasing over the past six or seven years.
"The diseases that we know are out there, and we are really talking about anaplasma but there is also another one called babesia, are all carried by the same tick," said Dr. Sears. "And so the good news is, the same things you do to try to prevent you getting exposed to ticks that you do for lyme disease, works for these other diseases. The real message though is the diseases are different, and so if you get a tick bite and you don't see a rash, but then you might have some other symptoms such as fever, chills or body aches, you need to think about these other diseases and get it checked out because they are treatable, but they are best treated early on."
It is not only people, but pets, especially dogs, that are at risk from tick borne illnesses.
"We definitely saw an increase in the number of clinical cases of lyme and other tick borne diseases that were walking through our door," said Dr. Alden Chadbourne, a veterinarian at the Brackett Street Veterinary Clinic in Portland.
"They don't get the tell-tale skin rash, and they can't talk to you, but a dog that has a clinical tick borne disease often is letting you know in other ways," she explained. "They are usually uncomfortable, stiff and sore, lethargic, may even start crying out when you going to touch them, because they hurt all over, just the same as a lot of people with tick borne diseases will talk about."
While there are vaccines that help fight lyme disease available for dogs, the vaccine doesn't help prevent anaplasmosis.
"Using some sort of product, unfortunately that often means chemicals, but using some sort of product is hands down the best way to stop the transmission of tick borne disease," stated Dr. Chadbourne.
Dr. Sears suggests people use insecticides before going out and doing thorough tick checks after walking through the woods or tall grass as the best ways to help prevent getting a tick borne disease.

It's Christmas morning or a birthday and now another family member has a shiny new iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and you want to use FaceTime to be able to video call each other. I ran into the same issue and found it difficult to find any resources online that clearly explained how to make this work. So, to clarify the issue, we want to link all of our iPads/iPod Touches to a single iTunes account (for app and media sharing), but then, how do we make use of FaceTime and iMessage? Here's how to make it happen:
1. Your FaceTime & iMessage ID is typically an email address. By default, these are linked to the same email address you use for your Apple ID So, our first step is to log into our Apple ID account management and add email addresses to our account: https://appleid.apple.com.
2. On the main screen of your Apple ID management, you'll see all email addresses associated with your account. Simply scroll to the bottom and add a unique email address for your new devices. (I created a new GMail account for our new iPod Touch.)
After you've set up the address you'll have to verify it by checking that account and clicking the link in the email that Apple sends you.
3. On your iPad/iPod Touch, go to Settings –> FaceTime. Scroll to the bottom and touch Add Another Email.
Enter the email address you added to your Apple ID. Once verified, it's ready to use. However, there's one more step.
4. Touch the old/original email address and choose Remove This Email.
Now, you have multiple iOS devices, on a single iTunes/Apple ID account, with separate FaceTime contacts. These steps are almost identical for doing the same with iMessage. As long as your devices are on WiFi, you can FaceTime and iMessage family members easily. Just start the app and "call" or "message" the email address you set up on the device. It's also helpful to add the contact address to your Contacts app if they're not there already.

text: House (Hugh Laurie) finds a kindred spirit in the form of Adam (Braeden Lemasters), a 10-year-old autistic boy suffering from chest pains. Due to his brain disorder, Adam has absolutely no social or anger-management skills whatsoever--clearly a boy after House's own heart. This situation proves most disturbing for Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), who arrives at the conclusion that House must be suffering from latent autism himself. . .especially when House pitches a fit because the blood-stained carpeting in his office (a souvenir of his shooting) has been replaced with a clean new rug. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Ali (Leighton Meester) persists in her romantic pursuit of House, making no secret of her lustful yearnings for our hapless hero. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Spendthrift Trust
A spendthrift trust is a trust designed so that the beneficiary is unable to sell or give away her equitable interest in the trust property. The trustee is in control of the managing the property. Thus, the beneficiary of the trust is not in control of the property and her creditors cannot reach those assets.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A trust created for a beneficiary who may be irresponsible with money. The trustee keeps control of the trust income, doling out money to the beneficiary as needed, and sometimes paying third parties (creditors, for example) on the beneficiary's behalf, bypassing the beneficiary completely. Spendthrift trusts typically contain a provision prohibiting creditors from seizing the trust fund to satisfy the beneficiary's debts. These trusts are legal in most states. (See also: property control trust)

Got a question about the 2013 DeMarini J3 1.20: DXNTU Slow Pitch? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionIs the Demarini J3 1.20 is balanced like the Demarini J3 ASA? I have a J3 ASA and I very like it but I want to buy a J3 1.20.
The 2013 DeMarini J3 1.20: DXNTU Slow Pitch bat features a slightly end loaded swing weight.
I play in an ASA league and a USSSA league. I'm 5'7" 150 lbs. and hit about 280-300 on the sweet spot with my old 26 oz. DeMarini F3. I'm looking at this bat and the Worth Legit. Which would be best? Also, I've always felt like I hit double wall bats better than composite. Any idea why that is? Thanks.
The 2013 DeMarini J3 1.20: DXNTU Slow Pitch bat is a very popular USSSA model from DeMarini. The two-piece composite design is awesome! I am not sure why you have better success with the double wall. I would definitely keep swinging what is giving you the best results though.
Is the DeMarini J3 ASA certified?
The 2013 DeMarini J3 1.20: DXNTU Slow Pitch is not ASA certified.
Product Description
New for 2013! That's right folks! The Juggernaut has returned to field, and it's going to blow you away! HOT is really the only way to describe the new J3 from DeMarini. The J3 features an end-loaded two-piece design that is made entirely from DeMarini's TR3 F.L.O. Composite. The fused layers of carbon that make up the TR3 F.L.O. Composite have enabled DeMarini to construct a bat that has a stronger handle and barrel, with less weight throughout. This composite material breaks in like none other to create a bat that is capable of nothing but high performance! The barrel of J3 also features the next generation of DoubleWall, called Stacked Composite. By optimizing multiple walls that are separated by DeMarini Power Ply, Stacked Composite works with the Half and Half design to create the largest, most responsive sweet spot in the industry and the most power on off-center hits! The handle of the J3 is wrapped with a premium two-piece Hybrid Comfort Grip for ultimate comfort and tack. The J3 also features a Rotation Index to help give players the most even break-in possible, so that they can start reaping the rewards of a fully broken Juggernaut more quickly! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The J3 is approved for play in USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

NIB objects to $10 million transfer to NHIP | | Print | |
Written by Richard email@example.com | |||
Thursday, 24 November 2011 18:28 | |||
The National Insurance Board "strongly disagrees" with a decision last month by the governor and his Advisory Council for the board to transfer $10 million to government for the National Health Insurance Program to pay for the board's underpayment of health care costs in the past. "The NIB board and management believes that the government should solve its debt and health care issues through a different approach than simply taking the people's pension funds and using them as a stop gap measure to fund the financial crisis," the board says in a statement posted on its website (www.tcinib.tc). His Excellency the Gov. Ric Todd defended the decision, saying "It is not true that the government is taking money from the NIB." In addition to having a fund to pay pensions to retirees, the NIB has a fund to pay for health care costs for worker injuries. A recent actuarial review of the NIB showed that it has paid very little to government for those costs since 1992. As a result, that fund has accumulated a $20 million surplus. Government is currently trying to solve a more than $40 million annual deficit in paying for health care. The NIB says it has paid $50,000 every year from 1992 to 2009 to government for those workers injuries, even though government had never submitted claims for actual costs. When government submitted its first request in 2009 for $837,000, the NIB and government agreed that amount would satisfy NIB's total indebtedness to government for 1992-2009, according to the NIB. When the NHIP was formed two years ago, it was required to submit claims to NIB to receive payment for covered treatment, and NIB paid $612,000 for those claims in 2010-11. However, the actuary said that NHIP does not produce bills for specific services provided, and the InterHealth Canada hospitals "may not even know that the patient being treated is someone ordinarily covered by the NIB." "To determine whether or not the amount transferred is reasonable, the (NIB) should monitor the treatment provided to its claimants at InterHealth Canada facilities and get frequent reports so that in two to three years, a good estimate of the costs associated with treating injured claimants can be obtained," the actuary recommended.

Google's Navi-Software for Mobiles with Android 2.0
Google Maps Navigation provides Android 2.0 users with a free and comfortable navigation software. Every user? No. The software is currently available in the USA only, and for one mobile.
Still in beta, Google Maps Navigation, like most of Google's beta software, is stable and set to replace the quite basic navigation solution Google Maps for Mobile. Map updates are available for free from the net.
As with other navigation software, a computer voice guides the driver through the surrounding scenery. The trick is that the driver can steer the software by voice-control. Just speaking the name of the destination is enough. The complete address is not necessary.
Besides simple directions, the software will provide information about restaurants, gas stations and hotels along the way. Street View images can also enhance the journey, where available. A further mode takes the local traffic situation into account, enabling drivers to avoid congestion.
It all sounds very promising, but until now the software, even in the US, will only run on the droid Motorola mobile based on Android 2.0. The HTC Hero is however about to migrate and further mobiles are sure to follow. Dates for an official European launch are still unknown. This YouTube video shows how the software works.

OK case, airflow issuesPros: Very good value, pretty to look at. Cons: Airflow issues mar an otherwise decent case. Other Thoughts: Running an ASUS Saber 990fx, 8150, MSI R7850, and Noctua NH-D14. Playing sims 3 maxed overheated CPU/VGA/NB/DRAM. Took side panel off, viola, temps holding around 40-50C depending on load. Mainly due to just Midtowers in general being small, this no exception. Fans it came with are ok, not work horses though. 3 circles on front are air temp, volume control, and fan speed. Awesome. Love the color, love the features for the price. Good value for what it offers, just watch your temps under full load initially. Did you find this review helpful? |
Dont waste your moneyPros: Has three gauges on front panel.and a few 120mm fans inside. Cons: Temp gauge died after one month,cant find a replacement thermister to fix it. Other Thoughts: Gave fifty bucks for a junk case,save your money and find something else. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
FrustratedPros: Plenty of room, Easy install, Green Metallic Paint, Big side window, Bright glow from the 1 blue led fan, Great Price. Cons: Top Guage on front was DOA, Volume control on side was very hard to turn and did not control volume with headphones plugged in, Front door would not fully open. Other Thoughts: I am sending it back for replacement. I hope this one works because I really like the case. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
AWESOME CASEPros: LIGHTS, COLOR, LOOK,SPACE Cons: material for this case is kind of lighter. This can be a con or pro depending of what you wanted. Other Thoughts: very satisfied with this case, love the lights in it, fast shipping, Did you find this review helpful? |
LOVE ITPros: I love this case Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Just another casePros: Cool looking, a flip-open front panel that reveals all the practical buttons/drives behind it, fan controllers, THREE 120mm fans (LED fans) in optimum locations, Cons: None yet (haven't turned it on, waiting on my other parts still), a little smaller than I like in a case but still big enough Other Thoughts: Haven't turned it on yet, so I don't know if this one in particular has any issues, so I can only comment on the structural build of it. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
It aint easy bein' green...unless your this case :)Pros: This was waaaay more than I expected for the price I paid.Nicely built,very solid,with almost no sharp edges to nail you,Darker green then the pics show,and thats a good thing :)I also like the cooling fans,quiet and strong enough to cool a moderate system.All the gauges lit up for me,and they all work well after a quick and easy setup.Lots of room to work with as well.All in all, a nice case for just a few bucks :) Cons: There could be less wires in there,just too many to route well enough.The door dosent open all the way,but it still dosent interfere with the DVD drive. Other Thoughts: I like it.I thought the instructions that came with it were a nice touch,ad the color is well applied and even,nice :) I wouldnt hesitate to but it again. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Over all happyPros: Nice green color! I had plenty of space to install everything but the cpu fan. All the meters work fine. Side panel lets me see all the components working. Cons: Darker green than pictured but still a cool green. Front panel does not open very wide making it a little tight for DVD/cd rom to open (-1 egg). Other Thoughts: It's been working fine for 3 months. Replaced the blue fans with Did you find this review helpful? |
Its goodPros: Great case every thing fit in perfect for me. A little tight when i was putting the power supply in but yea. The Stock fans are great and move a good amount of air. Cons: The front panel went out in almost the first week that i got this case. 1 of the meters flat out doesn't work at all and the blue back lighting doesn't even turn on any more. at first it worked then i would flicker a lot and now it dosent work. and the front door doesn't swing out far enough by its self to open the cd drive cuz of all the cords to the front panel are located at the bottom acting as a restraint Other Thoughts: Good case but the faulty lighting kinda killed it for me and im not goin to take the time to take everything out but idk good case and fun with the diff. color selections Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
pretty sweet casePros: good case sturdy build alot of neat extra features GREEN!!!!!!!!! i love the color its amazing if you love green as much as i do. roomy for a mid atx case keeps my harddrives nice and cool because they are right in front of the fan Cons: no top fan.. which i knew that when i bought it, the fans that come with it are quiet but dont move a whole lot of air if you use a tower cooler like me for your processor then you probly wont be using the side fan ither.. Other Thoughts: could use a top fan port.. could also mod it to have one if i were brave enough also if it had a place to hide wires better. Did you find this review helpful? |

View entire map View aerial photos of the existing and proposed interchange.View construction photos on Flickr
OverviewWe improved access to and from Interstate 5 at State Route 531 (172nd Street NE) by building a new two lane loop ramp, adding turn lanes and widening existing ramps.In winter 2005, WSDOT and contractor Graham Construction finished building a new six-lane bridge south of Arlington.Why did WSDOT improve this interchange?More than 40,000 vehicles use the 172nd Street NE interchange (or Smokey Point Bridge) to access I-5 each day. Increased traffic had caused severe backups on and around the bridge during peak commute times and on weekends. Traffic was heaviest for drivers heading from westbound SR 531 to southbound I-5.Between 2002 and 2006 the number of drivers turning left onto the on-ramp to southbound I-5 increased by nearly 15 percent. Although the new six-lane Smokey Point Bridge has alleviated much of that congestion, rebuilding the ramps at this interchange helps improve the flow of traffic to and from I-5. The End ResultDrivers will now notice wider ramps and improved access to and from I-5 at SR 531.We:
We also constructed a new park and pool lot off of SR 531 at 27th Avenue, with over 60 parking spaces. The old space was demolished to make way for the new improvements.
Partnerships & Cooperation On Jan. 12, 2009 we awarded the contract for this project to the most competitive bidder, Northwest Construction Inc. On March 2009 we began construction. On Nov. 13, 2009 we celebrated the early opening of the new and improved on- and off-ramps at the interchange. We also dedicated the SR 531 overpass in honor of Oliver "Punks" Smith, a longtime Arlington civic leader. We completed the project in July 2010.
This project was funded through the following fund sources:
Note: the 2008 legislature allocated $33 million for this project, but WSDOT saved nearly $10 million when engineers reduced costs during project design and bids for the project were lower than the engineering estimated budget. The $10 million in cost savings will be reallocated to pay for other state transportation projects.

Prince Edward Island has joined a growing list of provinces suing tobacco companies to recoup health-care costs for tobacco-related illnesses.
The province filed a claim with P.E.I. Superior Court, the government announced Wednesday.
"This claim begins the process of holding the tobacco industry to account for the harm it has caused to Islanders," Minister of Environment, Labour and Justice Janice Sherry said in a release. "Similar to legal claims in other provinces, we are going to ask the court to require these companies to reimburse the
Crown for health-care costs attributable to their sale and promotion of tobacco at a time when they were aware of the harm smoking was doing to their customers."
The claim covers tobacco-related illnesses in P.E.I. dating back to 1953.
Earlier this year, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta filed similar suits. British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador had already done so.
Nova Scotia is expected to follow suit.

I am pretty happy with my system but it has one minor drawback that is driving me nuts as I can't find the solution.
Listpro is great piece of software but it lacks over the air syncing options. I would like to have web browser access to my list just as I have to my calendar using google.calnedar website.
However, what is important I am not interested in purely web based solutions. I want to have a client on my PPC that syncs with web based server from time to time. This means I want to have ability to view my lists being offline with my phone.
I tried using livemesh for syncing my listpro list but it appeared to be unreliable which is due to the simple fact that as long as listpro works on my phone and accesses the list, the list cannot be accessed by livemesh.
Any ideas how to solve this?

You think this card can max out games at even 1080p at 120fps? I doubt it will do so for MOST games. Some, sure, but not most. Still need 2 of 'em. Unless you are one of those people still using 60hz dinosaur-monitors.
Give me 60 constant FPS at 2560x1600, then maybe we'll talk about 120hz. Played with a 120hz monitor, had to switch back INSTANTLY to my 1600p, once you are "baptized" by higher resolutions you'll gladly sacrifice 120hz.
If Titan turns out to be 50% better than the GTX 680 and is priced at twice it's selling point then: a) when 780 releases it will not be 50% faster than the 680 (IMO) and will be priced substantially lower than Titan. This creates a selling hierarchy whereby the series agnostic Titan can transcend product lines and b) you think there'll be that many Titans in retail to make it an issue? but, I'm no psychic and I could be completely wrong but it doesn't make sense to release a product like Titan in any meaningful number if it will stop the next series flagship from being a flagship. Likewise, if the 780 is better than Titan, folk that paid the big bucks for it (if it does cost the rumoured big bucks) will be furiously pissed off. I can't see the 780 being launched at a substantially higher price point than the 680 did. There's a marketing ceiling for non limited series topping products. I see $500-$600 being that ceiling.
Well we are not sure about the price, it could very well be lower than what speculation or preorder sites told us. The only way to know is to wait when the NDA lifts and get the proper MSRP from Nvidia. Anyway I am pretty sure this GPU will be worth its weight in gold when put under water, I mean look at all the 28nm GPUs, they are insane overclockers and if Nvidia really gives us unlocked voltages (which I hope for) we could very well be near 690 performance with OC. I fear the OCed power consumptions though
Yeah, if it's overclockable, unexplodable and affordable, I'll be getting one. If it's really affordable, two.
Dont forget how Nvidia dropped the 8800GT, offering 90% of the performance of the super-pricey 8800GTX while costing less than half as much.
That would be evil. Still Nvidia is famous for supplying barely enough sufficient VRMs, could be a possibility.
Are they going to cripple it again so it'll become useless for 3ds max design gpu accelerated rendering? so that I'll be forced to buy their super uber premium stupendously expensive quadro 6000 video card. My 680 cant even use quicksilver and mental ray; its slow in opengl apps like google sketchup as well. I wonder if this one to is.
Don't those have a short life expectancy? That would be a monitor that would need titan. Also, I just had a humorous thought. The 8000 series is named after the planets right? Greek or Roman gods were the planets.
@james888 Yeah, you might only get 8 years of use instead of 12 years. Similar to overclocking your processor, it certainly won't make it last any longer but the results are worth it. The panel is a LG S-IPS panel, the exact panel found in the color accurate $999 Apple Cinema display for just $529.99. It's currently the only 120Hz panel that comes with a warranty. They will have new stock in come March. @radrok Correct, some users have been able to hit 130Hz, others only as high at 115Hz. Mine topped out at 122Hz but I keep it at 120Hz.
So even after nVidia published some benchmarks most of you guys still expect some end-all do-all graphics card? Really?! It's barely 30% faster than GTX 680 or 25% faster than R7970GE by nVidia's own dodgey charts for crying out loud. ASUS Matrix Platinum 7970s that can clock to 1300-1325MHz, are probably gonna be faster the Titan in a lot of scenarios (like Metro VH/DoF/MSAA)...
You mean the Matrix Platinum that seems to have been discontinued ? I'd think you are being overly optimistic in your evaluation....or do you think it unlikely that Nvidia might have conceivably tested the Titan against currently available competition and tailored clocks/power to make sure that the board does what it is intended to do ?
It's always kinda dumb to compare an overclocked card to a stock one. The Titan card will overclock at least somewhat, and only then can you compare a manually overclocked 7970 to a (manually OC'd) Titan. While I agree that what Nvidia is bringing to the table isn't particularly impressive (according to the info we have now), the reason has more to do with price than anything else. Not many 7970s, even Matrix ones, will hit 1300 MHz on air.

Jack Zduriencik makes his plans clear – the Seattle Mariners are building for the future.
Exactly when the future becomes the present is a project that has created impatient Mariners fans with each passing season out of the playoffs.
That win-filled future, which has kept fans enticed just enough to retain interest, is dependent on young players and prospects developing into what the Seattle general manager and his staff expect them to eventually become. Many of these prospects are trudging through a tumultuous 2012 season with the Mariners, but plenty more are working their way through the farm system and are expected contribute in the coming years.
Especially 22-year-old Danny Hultzen and 19-year-old Taijuan Walker.
Hultzen and Walker, the top two pitching prospects in the Mariners' farm system, travel to the 14th annual All-Star Futures Game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. (2 p.m. today, ESPN2).
"We have other players who are going to be part of this thing for years to come, but they are certainly two of the top players that we have," Zduriencik said. "If these two kids stay healthy, we think they have a good chance to be very good pitchers for a long time."
Zduriencik is hopeful that Hultzen's and Walker's appearance in the Futures Game is indicative of what they will bring to the Mariners' future. They aren't the game's headliners, like Trevor Bauer of the Arizona Diamondbacks or Dylan Bundy of the Baltimore Orioles, but most all the top major league players have participated in the game at one point.
Last year, it was Bryce Harper and Mike Trout – this year they have upgraded to the MLB All-Star Game. Pitchers such as Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw, CC Sabathia and even Felix Hernandez made appearances, too.
"The thing that is a big deal is staying healthy," said Tacoma Rainiers manager Daren Brown, who coached Hernandez before he was brought up to the Mariners and now coaches Hultzen. "Felix was able to do that. If (Hultzen) stays healthy and continues to work on his pitches, he will be a guy we can count on pitching in Seattle, too.
Hultzen is showing to be the most major league ready of the two prospects. The Mariners brass was so pleased by the left-hander's 1.19 earned-run average and 79 strikeouts in 13 starts at Double-A Jackson that they handed him a Tacoma Rainiers jersey.
But the Mariners' No. 2 pick overall in the 2011 draft hasn't enjoyed the same success in three starts in Triple-A, where he has thrown too many pitches in too few innings. He has become better with each one, though, as his latest outing resulted in his first Triple-A victory after allowing one earned run with six strikeouts in five innings on July 3.
"It's your job as a pitcher to put your team in a position to win games," Hultzen said. "Five innings isn't the best, and you always hope to get to those later innings, but I'll take it because, as a pitcher, it isn't necessarily your job to go out there and throw a complete game or a no-hitter. You just want to put your team in a position to win, however that may be."
The Hultzen-mania that has ensued whenever the young phenom starts at Cheney Stadium isn't something going unnoticed by Zduriencik. Hultzen was relieved after three innings his first start and four his second (walking seven batters and allowing six runs in those seven innings), but Zduriencik is giving the same sentiment he is with the rest of the young players battling in Seattle.
"There are going to be setbacks and there are going to be challenges," he said. "But in all of it, it is part of a growing process. These kids have to fail somewhere along the way so they know how to recover. When they struggle or hit a bump in the road, it is important to see how they react to it."
And how has Hultzen reacted to each start in Tacoma? He has pitched more innings than the previous start, walked fewer batters and struck out more hitters.
"Any kid we have here we are hoping will progress to the point where he is going to be somebody that we can count on at the big league level," Brown said. "Hultzen is no different, but obviously he is a guy that when you take him with your first pick in the draft, you expect him to be a guy that we can count on. He hasn't done anything to show us that he is not."
Walker joined Hultzen on the Double-A Southern League All-Star team, but just like Hultzen, he hasn't been without his struggles. Walker is 5-4 at Jackson with a 4.50 ERA, but the flame-throwing right-hander has 71 strikeouts in 70 innings, and certainly has a lot of room to grow, having not yet reached his 20th birthday.
The Mariners envision a future with Hultzen and Walker complementing Hernandez in the Mariners' starting rotation. Walker still appears to be a few years away, but Zduriencik didn't discount the possibility of Hultzen joining the Mariners later this year.
"We don't want to rule anything out," Zduriencik said. "But you also have to think of what is in the best interest of every individual player. We don't want to put a stamp on anything and say he has to do this and this such thing. That would be foolish. We are just going to monitor him and we look forward to him continuing through the challenges he has ahead of him."
The trick for Zduriencik is not trying to force the future to come too soon.
"They are two guys that we think have a chance to be really good," Zduriencik said. "They are two very talented kids, and we will continue to watch them. They are going to have very nice big league careers as big league pitchers."

In the latest of our PRINCE2 Training Video resources, our Lead Trainer Claudine explains the difference between MSP Training and PRINCE2 Training – how the methodologies differ, and who should consider each qualification
A full transcript of the video is below
Transcript of Video
Colin – Claudine. We are going to ask you some of the questions we often get asked about MSP and PRINCE2. One thing we get asked a lot is "What is MSP and how is it different from PRINCE2?" PRINCE2 is about managing projects – we know that – so what's MSP and how is it different from PRINCE2?
Claudine – MSP is Managing Successful Programmes. MSP is a methodology applied to programme management for the purpose of transformational change.
Colin – Why are programmes different to projects?
Claudine – A programme is a group of project that are focusing on the same end goal or vision. Programme management operates at a much higher level to project management. Whilst the outcomes of a project are typically well defined from the start, programme outcomes are sometimes not, as they will evolve as the programme goes along. So programmes are managed in quite a different way to projects. MSP is the methodology you use for effectively managing a programme.
Colin – is the MSP course structure quite similar to the PRINCE2 structure?
Claudine – Yes, with an MSP Practitioner training course the first 3 days are spent going through MSP foundation material, with the MSP Foundation exam at the end of day three. Day 4 of the MSP course is all about preparing for the MSP Practitioner exam and exam techniques, and on day 5 we have some more study time and the MSP Practitioner exam itself.

A clerical error tests the lifelong friendship of two brides-to-be by scheduling their respective weddings at the famed Plaza Hotel on the exact same date in this romantic comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. Ever since they were little girls, Liv (Hudson) and Emma (Hathaway) have bonded over planning their weddings down to the very last detail. Now, both in their mid-twenties, Liv and Emma have each found the men they want to spend the rest of their lives with. But while most of the details regarding their respective weddings don't overlap, the one thing that both Liv and Emma have always dreamt of is holding their ceremony at the legendary Plaza Hotel -- New Your City's ultimate bridal destination. Unfortunately, a simple clerical error has scheduled both of their weddings on the exact same date, at the exact same place. As a high-powered lawyer who's used to getting her way, Liv simply isn't willing to settle for anything less than perfection. And though simple schoolteacher Emma has always placed the needs of others above her own, the prospect of making any sacrifices on her big day brings out her inner bridezilla in ways that shock her unsuspecting friends and family. There was a time when Liv and Emma would have done anything for each other, but now that the two best friends are at odds over who will get their dream wedding and who will have to settle for second best, the lacy gloves are off and it's all-out war. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Law & Order: American Jihad
Law & Order rips another story from the headlines in the series' 13th-season opener. When a professor specializing in stem-cell research is murdered, the detectives at first suspect that the killer was a pro-life zealot. It soon develops that the actual target for extermination was the professor's wife (also murdered in the attack), who was raising money and public awareness for Muslim women's rights. Ultimately, the clues lead to a young Muslim extremist who calls himself Mousah Salim, but who is actually an American named Greg Landen (Wil Horneff). In prosecuting the case, the lawyers try to ferret out the motivation behind Landen's wild-eyed fanaticism, with surprising results. Fred Dalton Thompson joins the cast as new DA Arthur Branch. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Almost two months ago, Unisys Corp. was picked as one of 17 winners of the General Services Administration's $2.5 billion cloud-based e-mail contract. But what's the company's strategy as to how it will deliver these services?
Unisys said in an announcement today that it will offer two cloud options to agencies. First, it will offer a "community cloud," which can be accessed by multiple organizations with similar missions, and is based on Google Apps for Government.
Option number two is a private cloud solution dedicated specifically for use within a single agency, and is based on Microsoft Corp.'s Microsoft Office 365.
On the two-pronged strategy, Unisys Federal Systems group vice president for civilian agencies, Venkatapathi "PV" Puvvada said that "by offering both community and private cloud solutions on two of the leading cloud email platforms, we are positioned to address the specific needs of agencies regardless of their size or mission."
Unisys is providing cloud-based email and collaboration platforms to several agencies including GSA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Energy Department's Idaho National Laboratory.

"No" is a complete sentence. You can tell her that you don't want a pet, end of subject. However, you may want to tell her why you do not want pets. 1) you're allergic 2) DH travels so the burden falls on you 3) you and DH travel so the pet needs other arrangements. It's not justification; it conveys "we have thought about this question and this is our decision".

Helen Day Art Center Hires New Exhibitions Director
State of the Arts
Erik Odin Cathcart
When considering candidates for the role of exhibitions director, the Helen Day Art Center could have done worse than hire a guy who shares a name with a Norse god. Odin, Wikipedia informs us, "is associated with wisdom, war, battle and death, and also magic, poetry, prophecy, victory and the hunt." Such splendid versatility is probably not in the job description, but, as the newest member of a small arts staff, Erik Odin Cathcart will surely be expected to multitask.
Actually, says HDAC Executive Director Nathan Suter, Cathcart's sole official job will be to curate exhibits, but his diverse collection of skills, interests and experiences made him an attractive hire. "Odin is enthusiastic about connecting artists and the community," explains Suter. "We wanted someone with no preconceptions about our audience, about Vermont, about what is and isn't possible here. Right now his life picture is, he's doing artwork and Helen Day Art Center and not much else," Suter continues. "That's the kind of commitment we really need."
It doesn't hurt, though, that Cathcart brings an arts marketing background to the table, not to mention expertise in art installation and preparatory techniques, art handling and shipping, photography, computer design programs, database management, carpentry and, handily, writing about art. Take that, Odin (the god)!
After earning a BFA in painting from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1987, the Albion, N.Y.-born Cathcart moved all over the U.S., opting for "real jobs" to escape what he saw as a "shallow" art scene, before recommitting to art making. Those jobs included stints at Jager DiPaola Kemp Design and PKC in Burlington a decade ago. He finally returned to school — SUNY New Paltz — and earned his MFA in painting last year. Cathcart, now 46, was preparing for a show in New York when he saw the HDAC job posting.
For now he's living with an old friend in a woodsy area of Essex, where he's installed a tiny shed — its footprint is 6 by 6 feet — that's part of the Habitat for Artists project launched by Hudson Valley artist Simon Draper. The mini-studio is a decidedly "green" statement about shelter, space and the use of natural resources.
Cathcart's own work reflects his eco-consciousness, too. His current two-dimensional "paintings" do employ acrylic pigment — and formally evoke the color-field school of abstraction — but they also inventively showcase natural "media" such as tree bark, feathers, bulrush and sumac. "The conversation for me comes through leveraging an art-historical statement with an environmental one," says Cathcart. Some of the meaning in his work is invisible to the viewer — that sumac, for instance, comes from a field that was later paved over — but he doesn't seem to mind. "That's what always fascinates me [about art]," Cathcart muses. "You can take it to a number of levels."
At the Helen Day, Cathcart says, he and Suter agree that they'd like to raise the level of discourse about art but "shed its elitist entrapments." Sounds good. And here's another "shed" idea: Build more tiny studios and sell them to the rest of us who need a quiet room of our own.
