It was September 1942 when 16-year-old Kathleen Daugherty married Newton C. McPherson Jr., a 19-year-old mechanic in a small town in Pennsylvania. In three days, the marriage fell apart; nine months later, she gave birth to a baby boy, whom she named Newton Leroy.
When Kathleen remarried three years later, her new husband, Robert B. Gingrich, an Army artillery officer, adopted her son.
Today, the boy, Newt Gingrich, is on the verge of becoming the Speaker of the House and next in the line of succession for the Presidency after the Vice President.
He says he wants to do nothing less than to save American civilization with a renewal of family values.
But while he often refers to an idealized American family life with Ozzie-and-Harriet mores, Mr. Gingrich has made it clear that he did not have such an upbringing himself. As he told The New York Times in the spring: "I'm not sitting here as someone who is unfamiliar with the late 20th century."

December ATI Catalyst Driver Release Automatically Switches on ATI Stream Acceleration in ATI Radeon Graphics Cards Found in Millions of PCs. To Enable Instant Benefit, Users Will Also Be Able to Download Free Avivo Video Converter That Makes High-Definition Video Conversion up to 17x Faster. AMD today announced that starting next month, the company plans to release for download a free ATI Catalyst driver update that instantly unlocks new ATI Stream acceleration capabilities already built into millions of ATI Radeon graphics cards. ATI Stream is a set of advanced hardware and software technologies that enable AMD graphics processors (GPU), working in concert with the system's central processor (CPU), to accelerate applications beyond just graphics. This results in better balanced platforms capable of running demanding computing tasks faster than ever. ATI Stream-enabled software titles for entertainment, gaming and productivity are being released or are under development by a growing list of independent software vendors (ISVs) including ArcSoft and CyberLink. To give users immediate benefit from ATI Stream, AMD also plans to release in December a free downloadable version of its ATI Avivo Video Converter utility. This intuitive, easy-to-use application enables transcoding of HD video up to 17 times faster than with the CPU alone, in tests performed using an ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. "ATI Stream is one of the best examples of the power of Fusion, and today's announcement is the first major step in taking this important new technology mainstream," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. "For the millions of people that have already purchased an ATI Radeon HD 4000 series graphics card, this is one more way we're saying thank you and helping them get more out of their investment. For those who haven't yet, it's one more reason for them to go online right now and buy one." ATI Radeon graphics processors from AMD are already found in millions of PCs around the world, each running the ATI Catalyst software driver. In the past 12 months, the various ATI Catalyst driver packages have been downloaded 48 million times, averaging nearly four million downloads each month. The next ATI Catalyst release is version 8.12. AMD has begun distributing a beta version to its hardware and software technology partners for testing, with the final version scheduled to be released for download on or around December 10. Once installed, the driver package automatically turns on the ATI Stream acceleration capabilities within ATI Radeon HD 4000 series graphics cards. This will have the immediate effect of allowing any ATI Stream-enabled application to run faster, with no special effort required by consumers to enable this technology. As always, expert users will have the ability to customize their ATI Catalyst driver install options. Users can then download and install the free ATI Avivo Video Converter. In tests performed using this utility, AMD was able to convert an hour of video to a portable player format in about 12 minutes. Combined with one of the recent ATI Radeon HD 4000 series graphics card offerings, the ATI Avivo Video Converter helps deliver video conversion at up to twice the speed of competing solutions, at just over half of the suggested retail price. A growing number of ISVs are also lining up to provide ATI Stream-enabled applications, including ArcSoft, a leading provider of innovative digital imaging technologies and multimedia solutions. The company plans to provide an update in December to its TotalMedia Theatre application that will includes ArcSoft SimHD, a new type of post processing technology that allows consumers to experience close-to-HD viewing of standard definition content thanks to ATI Stream. Another is CyberLink, an innovative software developer for digital media creation, playback, sharing, and enjoyment applications, has optimized its award-winning video editing software, PowerDirector 7. PowerDirector provides a robust set of features and functionality for capturing, editing and distributing HD video. The updated version, which is scheduled to be released in Q1 2009 will include ATI Stream accelerated video conversion, featuring performance and functionality exceeding that of the Avivo Video Converter. To ensure easier development of ATI Stream enabled applications capable of running on platforms from multiple vendors, AMD is a member of the Khronos working group defining the OpenCL standard, and is evolving the ATI Stream SDK to be fully OpenCL compliant. About ATI Stream ATI Stream is a set of open AMD technologies that allow the hundreds of parallel Stream cores inside AMD GPUs to accelerate general purpose applications, resulting in platforms capable of delivering dramatically high performance-per-watt. The freely distributed, fully open Stream SDK allows programmers to make advanced use of AMD hardware, and helps them to create fast, energy efficient applications on a growing variety of platforms and operating systems. For more information please visit this page. 1. The pre-release version of ATI Avivo Video Converter demonstrates that ATI Stream technology allows video conversion that is faster than ever before. ATI Avivo Video Converter using ATI Stream technology converted an HD MPEG2 video at 1920x1080 resolution @ 24fps running 3600 seconds to an MPEG4 video at 320x240 resolution at 24 fps in 12 minutes, while iTunes 8.0.1 with WinQuickTimeMPEG2 pack converted the same source video to the same output specifications in 3 hours and 23 minutes, demonstrating a 17x speed up. System specifications: Intel Core 2 Duo QX9650 3.0 GHz processor, 6GB of Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5D 1066 MHz memory, Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 1, ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB. Performance of ATI Avivo Video Converter will vary based on system configuration, ATI Radeon product, source file and output settings used. ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre will include new functionality not yet seen in the form of ArcSoft SimHD, a new type of post processing technology that allows consumers to experience close-to-HD viewing of standard definition content thanks to ATI Stream technology. Accelerated stream capabilities are dependent on enablement in individual software titles. Not all software is ATI Stream enabled, nor do all ATI Radeon graphics processors provide ATI Stream capabilities. 2. The combination of an ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB graphics card ($246) + ATI Avivo Video Converter using ATI Stream technology (free) compared to the combination of GeForce GTX 280 graphics card ($414) + Badaboom Media Converter 1.0 ($29.99) shows that an HD MPEG2 video at 1920x1080 resolution @ 29.97 fps, 19000 kb/s VBR and MPEG1 Layer2 48000HZ audio that runs 1 minute 31 seconds is converted to an AVC1-MPEG4 video at 1280x720 @ 29.97 fps, 7304 kbps with MPEG4 44100 Hz 160kb/s stereo audio on the AMD solution in 48 seconds, and is converted to an AVC1-MPEG4 video at 1280x720 resolution @ 29.97 fps, 7734kbps with MPEG4 48000Hz 62Kb/s stereo audio on the Nvidia/Badaboom solution in 113 seconds. Prices based on average Newegg.com pricing after mail-in rebates as of October 29, 2008. System specifications: AMD Phenom X4 9950 processor, MSI 790FX K9A2 Platinum motherboard, 2GB of Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5D 1066 MHz memory, Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 1, Western Digital Raptor WD1500 hard drive, ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB with ATI Catalyst version 8.9 and ATI Video Converter, or GeForce GTX 280 with Badaboom Media Converter 1.0 and CUDA driver 178.08 INT. Performance will vary based on system configuration, ATI Radeon product, source file and output settings used.
So this is only for the 4000 Sereis? I imagine it will makes games that support the enhancement run smother.
The X1800XT supported this too, but with a different name. Soon I will be able to convert my high def home movies to small enough to e-mail easily, or host for my parents to download. Any news on supported formats, or will they support all formats you have codecs for?
You know what? I will use this technology for WPA/WPA2... up to 200x faster with 4870 X2 Got it? And just about two days days ago, i was thinking to trade my 4870 X2 with a GTX 280 ..Hopefully something told me to wait...
LOL i like the idear to get GPU acceleration for Video coding but this will be the last time ati gets a chance. They failed with my x1900 and that was pricey so get it working this time!
I'm confused. Didn't ATI have another name for this a while ago and it was supposed to beat CUDA or is this something smaller?
Aye -- coulda swore it was called GPGPU or something. It's why when Nvidia started pushing CUDA I was all like, "wasn't ATI doing this a while ago?"
They just used the Avivo chip and they coded the software to use the X1K series chips to run the reencoding. I used it all the time, it worked well with most file types. I used it on the fly with FRAPS to encode fullscreen game vidoes. Nvidia is just advertising something they fell behind in, GPU accelerated apps, as if they are the pioneers of it. ATI had hardware accelerated re-encoding/compression/upscaling, better hardware smoothing for DVD playback, F@H first, and many other things, they just did a poor job of marketing it.
Looks like they changed the name of GPGPU. I cant wait for the release thanks for the info Shadowfold and BTARUNR.
Does anyone knows Pinnacle version 12 supports this feature or will it be? I am using damn old Pinnacle 8 SE, it still works good but damn slow and not multi-core compliant. I was thinking of upgrading to the new version.
AMD/ATI is always like that, bad marketing. Good that I bought a 4850 when I was in a dilemma to try out 9800gt
So, ATI's software is 17x faster than itunes. using different codecs and different software, wow, what a usable benchmark! i can run up and down my stairs 17x faster than someone on a bicycle can

McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - San Jose
Online Reservations
The ambience is a bit more formal than at some other M & S restaurants, but the staff make everyone feel at ease, even if they arrive in jeans and T-shirts. The grilled steelhead was savory and moist, and presented beautifully. The cheesecake with raspberry sauce was light and delicious and the sorbet was very rich. I would come here again.
Being our first visit to this restaurant, we did not even know this establishment was part of the Landry's family. We are regular dinners at the Chart House in Monterey and Tahoe both and this had a very similar feel as far as the menu, service, and experience goes. You definitely get a variety of people walking by the restaurant as it is in downtown. A nice place to go before a night at the theater, when going out for a special evening, or looking to spoil someone special.
Excellent food, excellent service, nice mild atmosphere for business discussions. Reasonable pricing and nice selection of sea food and preparation options. We all had a great time . . .
We had a wonderful evening! There were a lot of people there partly because it was a Friday night, and partly because the San Jose Jazz festival was going on right across the street. I'm not a "fish" person, but the blackened stone fish was incredible. We had a great evening and I would come here any day. Every time I go here I try something new, because everything on the menu is so good!
Staff: Friendly, Professional and Attentive. Food: Fish cooked PERFECT. The Rock Cod flaky and moist, the seasoning spot on, veg cooked perfect. Stuffed shrimp is hard to do, but they nailed it. The crab stuffing moist and delicious, and the shrimp tender and juicy, not dried and tough like other places we won't mention here. Standout: The Oysters Ocean Fresh and the Martinis's perfectly chilled and absolutely delicious.
The service was a little disappointment, our waiter forgot to give us our leftover.
Food was great, have had excellent meals here, (lunch or dinner) over the years. Service was very good, a little off, possibly due to people in training.
Great special occasion restaurant...great service, food and experience. Definitely be back.
The menu was fairly extensive although a bit on the pricier side. All our meals were very good and our waiter was always around to see if we needed anything further. As a higher end downtown restaurant on a Saturday night I was surprised to see small children running around and related disturbances but it's not the restaurant's fault. Overall our experience was good.
We arrived 45 mins late due to traffic. No problem as we were promptly seated. Server was knowledgeable and helpful with appetizer selections. Entree was fabulous (Stuffed salmon). Highly recommend the chocolate bag for dessert, you wont believe it
Dinner was excellent and the service was wonderful as we celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary!
We started with the mango, lump crab and avocado salad and it was absolutely delish. My husband had a filet while I enjoyed a ribeye cooked to perfection with a side of lobster mash potatoes that was to die for! My martini could have been made a bit better but other then that my husband and I once again had a perfect meal. We will be back soon.
The ambience was very nice, quiet, easy to have conversation and the service was very good.
Great food. Great service. Nice ambiance. Very nice nice dining experience.
Good food, good companionship and a pleasant atomsphere made for an all-around nice evening.
Great place for luncheons you could hear the conversation. Waiters are very attentive.
McCormick and Schmick's is reliable -- nice seafood, very fresh, nicely prepared. We had oysters (half east coast, half west) which were lovely to start. The Gruner Veltliner by the class was perfect with them. For main courses, we each had a different special; both were very nice, no complaints. The peach crumble was delicious, though it seemed like the peaches might have been canned -- not sure. The only problem with the meal was that they were playing some sort of dance music with a thump-thump beat throughout. We actually aren't against bar music, but it clashed badly with the atmosphere. They need to decide whether they're a sports bar, or a nice restaurant. Or find a better compromise on the music.
Everything about our experience was wonderful. We'll be going back frequently.
Always good experience each time I eat at this restaurant. You have a lot to choose from which is nice, it was a bit noisy on the night we had dinner but it was fine with me.
I organized an outing to the San Jose Rep and dinner out. I found your restaurant very pleasant and good food. My companions, other teachers on a budget , liked the food and atmosphere.
Stuffed salmon was wonderful and beautifully prepared. Arrived at 5:30PM on 10/1 for a 7:15 theater ticket. Waiter had a very difficult time providing timely service. Had to track down waiter 2 times to exit on time. Staff shortfalls need to be addressed.
My wife and I ate there for our 25th anniversary and couldn't have been more pleased. Food and service were outstanding. I highly recommend it for a special even.
we stopped in for a late lunch at 3pm and had a great meal. One of us ordered just soup, another just an appetizer and one a lunch entree, then we all shared a dessert. Great way to end a special day.
My friend from Germany was wrapping up his business trip and we got together for a late lunch. He had one more tender juicy American steak and I had hte Chef's recommended salmon dish. Both were great and we had a wonderful time catching up.
Girlfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner before the Pink concert. Weather was so nice we chose to sit outside and loved it. Great ambience, and we saved the dishwasher some work by both licking our plates clean. The food was awesome as was the service.
I have eaten here a couple of times and I enjoy it immensely. It's a nicely decorated space, a bit on the clubby side, with nice size booths and tables. There is an ample drinks menu (I recommend the Dubliner), a well thought out menu of appetizers and entrees. This is a place for basic foods done intelligently and well, and they deliver. I had pan seared steelhead trout an ample serving that came with steamed broccolini and delicious mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect. My companion had the salmon from the seasonal menu; it disappeared quickly! Dessert was a peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream that tasted like peaches - it was large enough for two and was wonderful. Service is attentive and professional. Excellent value, too.
The thing I didn't know...and perhaps if I read the website more I would have found that the restaurant in the San Jose location validates parking in the garage on San Carols between 2nd and 3rd. The web site should make that a prominent piece of info on the web site. Parking in downtown San Jose on a weekend night is bad. Well, finding street/free parking is bad.
We always enjoy McCormick and Schmick's Seafood Restaurant - the cocktails are always perfectly served and the Lobster Bisque is the best!!
Our group of seven each gave McCormicl & Schmick a huge thumbs up on their seafood entrees. These people know to prepare fish & shellfish. Our corner table was waiting for us when we arrived, and the waitress had done her homework, and was aware that had an 8 o'clock curtain to make. She was delightful, and knew her stuff. I'd definitely recommend this place.
The staff was great from reception to seating to wait service. But we did have some issues with the food. The salad, although we threw them a curve asking to share it, was missing the candies walnuts. Soup came out quickly and was good, but waited a long time for main course and the shrimp was overcooked, dry and tough, and everything was barely warm at best. Vegetables were literally cold. Tasted good, but quantity and quality of preparation not what I expect for the price paid.
As someone who loves Portland, OR, I was delighted when McCormick & Schmick's rolled into town. My wife and I have dined here many times and will continue to do so. On this particular occasion, I was stunned by the incredibly small portions presented in their Asian BBQ Shrimp dinner. For the $21.99 price tag, I was expecting a lot more food. I was literally done with it in 10 minutes, and my wife had another 20 minutes to eat her meal while I watched. The waitress kept nervously walking passed us, not knowing to take my plate OR wait until my wife was done. I have never had that experience before, so I am assuming it was an unfortunate "one off." We will give it another shot in the future.
The food was AWESOME! Everything from the appetizer through dessert. I had the crusted Talapia (yummy!) and for dessert the bourbon pecan pie ( sooo very good!). Highly recommend this restaurant! Our waitress- Mandy- was excellent too!
I've eaten there at least 40 times over the years and it's always been a favorite of mine. The seafood and other menu selections are always remarkable and the bar does a fair job on just about any cocktail I've ordered . Overall at least 4 of 5 stars; the tilapia filets (with the crust) has always been a winner with friends I've brought over the years,
AS A SALUTE TO VETERAN'S IT WAS VERY NICE TO GET A COMPLIMENTARY DINNER....THE ENTREE WAS EXCELLENT EXCEPT THE PORTIONS WERE SMALL. wAIT STAFF OUTSTANDING...WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME....THANK YOU..
Wife and I came for a nice dinner and to take advantage of the Veteran's Day entree list. Service was a bit slow. Fortunately, a server from another table saw our situation and came over to take our order. This alone meant an awful lot to us. When our server finally came, she apologized. We were seated very close to the main entrance and the greeter's desk. Not a particularly good table, particularly for someone receiving a tribute for their military service. Main course and dessert were superb! Thanks for a very nice evening and also appreciated the parking voucher. Marc
While I am a sometime McC & S diner during the year, it is always a special pleasure to be invited to your Veterans Day commemoration. This is a very generous offer. The salmon on a cedar plank entree was great. I was happy to pay extra for a salad, a bottle of Ecco Domani, and a dessert. A great family event for many of us vets.
We celebrated my birthday with four people for dinner. The reservation was on time, the service excellent and the food was excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Enjoyed great service, great food and great ambience. Pricey, as expected, but lived up to expectations.
Very good food, pleasant and efficient service, unfortunately it is a noisy place. We were eating "before the theater" so it was very busy. They had a great special deal on Stag's Leap wines which we took advantage of!
The food was very good and we had a good time at Dinner.
I chose this restaurant because of previous dining experiences at the San Francisco location. Although a little pricey for San Jose, the food is really fresh, menu includes items for sharing, and more than a couple of salad choices. The location is close to conference center downtown, with lot parking half block away. During November, the area is lit with "lights in the park" festivities, so dining experience is enhanced with a scenic view. My only complaiint is that our waitress became less responsive at the end of our stay: when another waiter noticed that we were waiting, he stepped in to assist without provocation, as most waiters will go and find your waiter, resulting in more wait time!
Since we didn't have family around, we decided to go out for Thanksgiving. Even though we've been to M & S many times before & always enjoyed it, I wasn't sure what a traditional Thanksgiving dinner would be like there; their specialties are seafood and steaks. Besides, what's Thanksgiving without some serious overeating? Well, I didn't need to worry...the food was great and the portions were enormous. (Maybe we got such big portions because we were there late, and they figured it was either give it to us or throw it out.) My only nit is that they seemed a bit short-staffed (again, maybe because it was late on Thanksgiving night), and the service was friendly, but wasn't as attentive as usual. Still, a great meal and a good time.
we wanted to try something a little different this year. This place was only $1 more, for kids than our usual place & $7 more per adult. We were quick to be seated. the quality and timeliness of the Thanksgiving meal was very good. we started off with a butternut squash bisquewhich was excellent. The turkey dinner was excellent as well with the one exception of the sausage which happened to be a little salty. since a slice of pie was not included in our package we opted to get a slice of cheesecake for dessert. At 7.99 it was good but not great and the slice was very small. next year I will simply up for the traditional pumpkin pie.
We enjoyed our thanksgiving dinner and everyone was very pleasant. Will definitely be back.
Good food, great service, our waitress joked with us but was also very professional I liked her a lot. My pasta was okay but my boyfriend loved his. My noodles were over done but that was all. Ambiance is always great there, loved the booths.
Four adults went to dinner before the theater and four of us had excellent meals. Service was attentive and friendly -- just right. Noise level had the potential to get loud, but it never did. We all commented on how good our food choices were, and that doesn't happen very often!
Great food, especially the seafood, nice atmosphere and excellent service. Food is not inexpensive, but is worthy of the price.
the food was excellent, well-prepared, and delivered quickly. Anything you pick is sure to be delicious
Thoroughly enjoyed my recent lunch at McCormick&Schmick's in San Jose. The food was delicious and the presentation was outstanding. I enjoyed the fish tacos while my table mates each had tuna, each dish fixed differently. It all looked delicious and was enjoyed by all.
Four of us met up for a per-Christmas get together. We sat near the window and could see everyone walking around Christmas in Park. This is my second time there, and I must admit the food is fantastic and atmosphere is energetic. The restaurant was packed, but the server did a pretty good job of taking care of us. I would recommend this for any first timer.

This guest post is written by Jeff Sullivan. "Who is Jeff Sullivan?" you ask. Well, Jeff is a baseball writer and volcano enthusiast (as his introduction mentions below). He writes — and writes fabulously — for Fangraphs on some of the most interesting aspects of watching baseball closely. So, why is he here, writing about volcanoes? Well, as he mentions, I wrote a post for Lookout Landing on the potential ramifications of an eruption of Rainier on Seattle and Tacoma. You know, for a baseball blog (makes perfect sense). Jeff recently told me he was headed to Guatemala to check out volcanoes (and other such fun things), so I thought it would be great to get a perspective on volcanoes from somebody who really knows how to observe … so here we are! I think you'll enjoy this post and especially some of the shots of volcanism in the Central American nation. Thanks to Jeff for writing the post!
If you like baseball, be sure to follow Jeff on Twitter (@based_ball).
Volcano Tourism in Guatemala
Hey there, new and intimidating audience. I don't personally know Erik, but I have an interest in volcanoes, so I read his material pretty often. Erik, in turn, doesn't personally know me, but he has an interest in baseball, so I've been led to believe he must read my material pretty often. We've had some correspondence, and in 2012 I asked if he'd be willing to write a guest post for me, about the potential implications for Seattle-area baseball in the event of a Mount Rainier eruption. You can read that post right here, and it's fantastic.

I love what I've seen so far with Boxee, best interface of any media center, and I've been looking for a solution for a LONG time!
However, I do have a big problem... I often take a portion of my video collection on my laptop to play while on the road... sometimes I don't have internet access... OMG! I know, how tragic!!!
Anyway, AFAIK Boxee makes you login to use it...
So while I'm on the road I have to play my movies through the OS interface by double-clicking on files in the folders... I'd really love to be able to use Boxee while not on the internet... Like have a local account that doesn't use any of that internet streaming features and just allows me to use Boxee to sort through and play movies I have on my local hard drive.
So far, this is one of my only two complaints with using Boxee, which is amazing, because I have a very clear idea of perfection and have had tons of problems with the other media centers.

The GPUs feature category-leading performance in media-rich HD, 3D, Web, and Gaming applications, as well as enhanced battery life, courtesy of NVIDIA Optimus technology. NVIDIA Optimus technology enables extra long battery life by switching on and off the GPU so that it runs only when needed. Only NVIDIA GPUs support NVIDIA Optimus technology, which enables extra-long battery life by automatically switching on and off the GPU so that it runs only when needed. Introduced less than a year ago, NVIDIA Optimus is now designed into over 80% of 500M Series notebooks across leading OEMs. The new GPUs being introduced today include: For performance users: GeForce GT 540M, GeForce GT 550M, and GeForce GT 555M with over four times the performance of integrated graphics and twice the DirectX 11 performance of the competition. For mainstream users: GeForce GT 520M and GeForce GT 525M offering over twice the performance of integrated graphics. "GeForce GT 500M GPUs combined with Optimus technology enable the most versatile laptops ever created," said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook business at NVIDIA. "Pairing a great GPU with a strong CPU delivers Optimized notebook performance for consumers." Only NVIDIA GeForce 500M GPUs offer: NVIDIA 3D Vision technology support for eye-popping immersive 3D environments DirectX 11 support for the most visually stunning gaming experiences PhysX physics engine support for experiencing games with realistic physics effects CUDA architecture support for general purpose GPU computing applications NVIDIA Verde notebook drivers for system stability and optimal performance Support for NVIDIA 3DTV Play software for delivering 3D content from your PC to a 3D TV Acer, Alienware, ASUS, Clevo, Dell, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Medion, MSI, Samsung, Toshiba and others announced GeForce 500M-based systems at CES this year, and represent a fraction of the over 200 design wins from leading notebook manufacturers for GeForce 500M GPUs.
I expect to become a top celebrity and possibly a billionaire in the next year. I have plans and therefore that is news! I have some potential and as long as everyone else on earth decides to lay down and just accept the greatness that is me I must achieve my goals. Attached is a resume and a list of places I have applied. Wow, 2011 is going to be the best year ever! /sarcasm
I am keen to see the specs, Im hoping for some GF104's and 106's with more portions of the core enabled, or maybe even some GF110 secret sauce applied.
I'm sure as hell AMD won't be supporting NVIDIA Optimus on AMD cards... A bold claim right there. Would be really nice it true.
Yeah. AMD have NVIDIA beat in the mobile department. The BEST example is 2x5870 vs a GTX 480. The 5870s perform better, use less power and cost less.
Nvidia 500M series GPU, 20% of leading manufacturers decide it is not worth it to put in Nvidia Optomis. Lower end Nvidia models only offer twice the performance of integrated video ______________ AKA brand X. Only Nvidia offers nspin, with great features like being better than unnamed brand X, salsa named drivers, a marketing director with the same last name as Haas Avacados, leading to a spicy Tex -Mex experience only available from Nvidia.
id need to see specs on the new parts to make a judgement but i doubt there all that much faster then previous tech in the mobile sector as nvidia has been riding the G92 in the mobile scene for a long long time and even the newer parts arent much of an improvement performance wise. Altho who knows maybe ill be surprised this time around.
those claims are a trick anyway. twice/four times the power of the competitions INTEGRATED. not their discrete mobile parts.
What does your example have to do with these 500 series mobile GPU? OT: I guess we wait to see how these laptops will perform. I'm sort of interested in building a HTPC this year and have been wondering if I might be better off buying a laptop. I hope some genuine performance comparisons come out soon.
I don't want to sound like a fanbuoy, but the 5870M from ATI smokes any nvidia chip out there. And consume less. And costs less.... nvidia on the mobile department is a BIG FAIL!!! Again, I'm not a fb, I just read at least 10 reviews on the nets....
Personally I would avoid claiming that Nvidia fails at mobile graphics, because while their top end is very power hungry, people having those graphics card are using a desktop replacement laptops anyway, so it doesnt matter at all. Also, their mid end graphics card are very decent in the power department, so AMD's advantage evaporates here. All in all, even with so much fail in desktop segment, their laptop segment is still competitive. In a way. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html
wrong, and hardly the best example, have you seen the review of GTX460m SLi vs Mobility 5870CF? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-460m-avadirect-x7200-sli,2799.html an excerpt from the conclusion; http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-460M.33612.0.html As I said, if they can just apply some of what they did to GF100 to make GF110, or even simply take the chips that bin for the lowest votlage and up the clocks a bit, Nvidia will be just fine in this mobile generation.
it is a fail, they dont top out ati in performance, yet higher power consumtion. Our mobile workstations at work, ATI. we still run nvidia for desktop workstations, but nvidia have shown decreasing in its driver department. Unfortunately
and wolf yea the sli wins but you did notice through the entire review your comparing the 460m with a superior cpu against the 5870m with a slower clocked inferior cpu when crossfire is known to need a bit more cpu grunt for proper scaling right? eitherway dosent matter much sure performance in on Nvidias side sadly no matter what gpu you go with not a god damn laptop on the market with a high end gpu is gonna run games that are demanding without being plugged into the wall so in that sense all the laptop fuss is pretty much a waste as far as i am concerned a mid range 5670m or nvidia 250m or w.e it is is more then enough for what a gaming laptop would be as anything higher means you might as well just use a damn desktop cause the laptops probably gonna melt a plastic table or burn your balls either of which is gonna suck
lol, don't fall for the marketing BS. Apple might have had equivalents (or even better) but not Nvidia Optimus.
Yep, you got it. there is little point in comparing the performance of laptops that can only function in a refrigerator.
damn right i mean im sure that i can find a use for one of these hot running bastards maybe i can use it to make a grilled cheese? set the laptop on top for a few minutes flip the sandwich do the other side or hell maybe if i want warm poptarts for breakfast... you know what i want a rediculously hot pile of shit laptop with dual gpus just so i can cook shit under it while i game.
Hmmm, I saw a benchmark for workstation using ATi and Nvidia card some time ago, it showed that the 5xxx based ATi consistently losing to the Fermi based Nvidia by a huge margin (but of course, Nvidia is about $1000 more expensive). If you follow the link, you will see that the Nvidia's top end GPU beats the Ati's top end GPU, and TDP is limited to 100w in both cases, actual power consumption I am not sure. I am pretty sure that the GF104 based Nvidia Mobile is much better than the desktop counterparts due to binning process though.
but again in the reviews posted above they paired the 5800m with a cpu with HALF the ability at least when looking the sandra tests. and it seriously depends on app fourstaff but in general I can go spend $40 on a 3850 soft mod it to a Fire GL card and make any regular hd 4000 5000 6000 or nvidia gt200 or 400 or 500 look like shit lol its all semantics really when it comes to workstation performance good example of what i mean v8800 is $1160 - basically a 5870 with 2gb of memory with special drivers aka 1600 shaders quadro4800 $1550 basically based off the GTX 260 192core model now depending what 3d app your using 1 card tends to wallop the other substantially at least in workstation situations where these cards are targeted that send no regular desktop card gets anywhere close performance wise simply do to drivers. It should also be noted in that price segment when AA is added for 3d work loads the ATI/AMD card tends to decimate Nvidia soundly http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=893&type=expert&pid=4 so again depends on what you need want and can get in that sense price wise nvidia is a full DX generation behind and loses badly at the same high end workstation price point. which is why i find it funny on these forums everyone and there mom in other threads keeps recommending Nvidia for 3d work when if i look above its not as landslide as there little mind thinks granted what do i know i use those apps daily That said this is a mobile gpu situation and in that market Nvidias Quadros are more widespread on the mobile platform then FireGL and yes in that sense they wallop AMD up down and sideways. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/quadro-fx-4800,2258-5.html even at the highest end of workstation cards in Maya the most dominate 3d Platform in terms of the movie industry and special effects in general the ATi cards hand nvidia there asses but if we swap to 3dsmax it changes again depends on APP should be noted that Maya 3dsMax XSI etc all are created and marketed by Autodesk but each has a different render engine under the hood displaying everything we see and like a game engine it responds to some hardware better then others. also pay close attention to the V7700 as the 3850 could be softmodded via drivers into a v7700 and that means that $40 softmodded card can still go toe to toe with the $3000 big boys just it lacks the memory which is the only major draw back. not trying to jump down your throat Fourstaff just figured you might find some of this interesting as i do. but yea no one doing workstation projects would use any regular gpu for that situation a quadro 4800 is based on the GTX 280 but in that same sense in the same 3d work loads the quadro is 10x faster then the gtx 280 same applies to current gen cards as well a gtx 580 will still lose in workstation situation to a softmodded 3850 which is about the cheapest way to get a workstation gpu

Skype for Linux 1.4 Beta Update: Salad Sandwich
Hello again! Here we are with your fresh Salad Sandwich. Sorry if the lettuce around the edges is a bit cold, but we've had it in the fridge for a couple of weeks (yes, this release came a little late). Fear not, however, as it has not gone stale. This sandwich includes a whole bunch of changes, even more than the first beta release.
First up, animated emoticons have been improved greatly and now perform better than they did on any previous Linux Skype release.
Equally important however, are changes to the audio volume level handling. Skype will now attempt to automatically adjust your microphone capture volume if it detects that you're too loud or quiet during the call. Along with these changes also came better support for some USB audio devices that run at non-standard bitrates.
Some other useful features to boot in this release are the ability to start Skype minimized, hide offline users, and Quickfilter searching through historical events. We also now have proper RPM packages for SuSE and Mandriva.
There really have been a huge number of feature enhancements, changes and bugfixes in this release, so I strongly suggest reading the full changelog for details. A number of people will notice their bugs in the public bugtracking system fixed. If you know of a bug that still isn't fixed, please be sure to check for them. If they exist, vote/watch the bug. If they don't exist, create them. You can also discuss any issues you're experiencing on our forum.

Thanks! It's nice to see Skype for Linux reach maturity. I like the interface improvements and call quality is excellent.
What is your feature focus going to be for the next release?
mramiragha said 6 years ago
Unfotunately, it crashes on my Debian (SID an not ETCH as recommended) with the following message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Skype::Exceptions::GetObjectError'
what(): Call w/ objectID
Aborted -
garage_rock said 6 years ago
Thanks, this is going in the right direction. I was wondering, why are some of the options greyed out, that weren't on the last Beta release? Overall it's clearly improved, but I wish I could change some of the notifications. I'm running Mandriva.
yanlot said 6 years ago
This new release is ok on debian Etch.
I hope we'll not have to wait for Lenny stable to have the video support.
Go on. -
anadour said 6 years ago
The new version well is improved. It is possible that the necessities most urgent now are the video and the internationalization (for the time being only has in English). I mandriva use 2007 and was satisfied with the specific package.
hevilath said 6 years ago
I really like new, fresh UI design. As for now, this beta release works flawlessly on my openSUSE 10.2 box. But, as always there are some things that probably need to be changed when the final version arrives. a) New Dialpad looks great, but first, integrated version was slitely better, of course, from my perspective. b) Please implement Group Contacts in new, even beta release. c) Change this hidous gray background in Skype Credit to something, I don't know, lighter maybe, for example: skype logo in white background. d) Chat style's are still missing:/ Keep up the good work
master-sonic said 6 years ago
We want video!!
Great work anyways. Hope it is in the next release!Keep them coming

I'm installing Skype on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4. But It's not sucessful.
I logged in as root user. I installed Qt4.2.1, D-Bus 1.0.0, # libsigc++ 2.0.2, libasound2 1.0.12, and then was Skype in /opt/Skype Directory. After that, I run ./skype. It's show an error as follows:
./skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.I tried to find libQtDbus.so.4 file, but I can't find it.
Could you pls. help me intall Skype on Redhat Linux ES4.
Thanks & Best Regard!

yglodt said 6 years ago
Thanks for this update, it works better than the previous version. But I had a complete system freeze after changing some settings in the "Sound devices" part of the settings.
Aside of that, I would like to know why skype chose to maintain 3 different codebases for 3 different OS, instead of using a crossplatform toolkit? (e.g. the one you use in the linux version) You guys have been reinventing the wheel 3 times so far. Some would call this a softwareengineering nightmare…
kmrmini said 6 years ago
This version is still not in the debian/ubuntu repositories (deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free)
vega1979 said 6 years ago
Hi folks,
I don't know if any of you guys is experiencing the same problem but since the "vegetable versions" are arrived, namely the 126.96.36.199 and 126.96.36.199, the accented letters (è,à,ò…) do not appear any longer on the chat window…
I perfectly understand that maybe this is no such a big deal when writing in English. However, I still need them for my native language (Italian) :
Anyway, great job guys…just keep going like this
pato8310 said 6 years ago
Hi, i say only one thing. Why isnt in this newest version of Skype accesed video? Where is the problem? Why? Why? Why?
kmrmini said 6 years ago
vega1979: I have no issues with åäö.
howestim said 6 years ago
Keeps getting better. I'm looking forward to video (that's the only thing that makes me boot into Windows these days).
There are some strange issues with foreign characters. I don't have a problem with accents (I just set my keyboard to U.S. international mode for them), but if I copy and paste non-latin unicode characters into a chat window I get numerical codes instead (for example, 你好 becomes u4f60u597d). I can, however, use scim to type such characters into the chat directly (before 1.4, scim didn't work, but I could copy-paste).
michelegiacomoli said 6 years ago
How can I do for hiding offline users?
michelegiacomoli said 6 years ago
Sorry, I saw now that for hiding offline users i have to type Ctrl+U, but in my opinion it would be better the possibility of setting it somewhere in the skype's window without typing anything, but just using the mouse!
Thank you for your work!
andypoo said 6 years ago
howestim: I've fixed this for the next public release — it really bugged me too.
michelegiacomoli: This will likely have a GUI option in the future, but probably not for 1.4.
hochglanz said 6 years ago
I tested 126.96.36.199 on SuSE Linux 10.1 (32bit). I have to taken the static bzip2 package, cause 10.1 didn't have QT 4.2 rpm's.
Everything was fine – excellent GUI, no problems until now. I think sound quality is better than 1.3
Some options are disabled (like "inactive time") – but this was mentioned before..One proposal:
I'm also using Skype on Mac – the installation there is as easy as breathing..
And we have the Linux installation nightmare…
…and we will have the solution. ONE (1) LSB rpm for all distributions which supporting LSB.
Ok, Linux is still not arrived in the LSB paradise but we're on the way. When LSB 3.2 or 4.0 does supporting QT 4.2 (or better 4.3) please provide a LSB compliant rpm package (and link all non-LSB stuff statically).
People who really want to work(!) on a Linux desktop will installing a LSB distro in the future!best regards,

One word: Video

ketjow84 and all others waiting for video please see the following post:
richard_doll said 6 years ago
I am using beta 18.104.22.168. Big improvement, but I still can't figure out how to hide offline contacts without a shortcut.
VERY, VERY annoying… -
andypoo said 6 years ago
We will add it to the menu later. For now, you can use Ctrl-U to hide/unhide offline contacts.
paulinalodz3 said 6 years ago
So we have to wait for video one more year.
sebailey said 6 years ago
Ctrl+U – aha – How was anyone supposed to figure that out without reading the comments here? This was really bugging me for the last month.
On that note, are there any other hotkeys that could be useful to me? Is there a list in some documentation somewhere (because if there is I'm not finding it.)
bmagyarkuti said 6 years ago
Thanks for 22.214.171.124, great release, I liked the integrated dial-pad better, though.
Anyway there is a regression (a new bug) as well: hitting enter after writing the phone number in the "call ordinary phone number" dialog box starts two calls: I will have to cancel one for the other to suceed. Clicking on the green "place call" button will only start one call, on the other hand.
I use the ubuntu build. -
jakobnev said 6 years ago
Regarding the 'Skype::Exceptions::GetObjectError' realted crash:
I found that deleting the ~/.Skype directory made the new version stop crashing. (It seems running an older version creates config files that make the new verion barf)
axelsan said 6 years ago
Great! But, please add flashing button (and on group button) on new arrived message
krasny2k6 said 6 years ago
when a 64bits version of skype? i´m tired of doing tricks to run it.
grocanar said 6 years ago
as there s no support for video it s doesn't worth trying it.
will check at the next release
erikdalen said 6 years ago
I'd much rather get SMS support than video support. And it would probably require a lot less code to implement.
wgitscht said 6 years ago
oh well everybody needs animated emoticons. and the names of the releases are so "funny" omg…
get focused on the important things- 64bit
- video -

64bit ?
start use Gentoo !!!
32 on my 64 system is clear to me (any user).
even running 32bit drivers for lightscribe DVD drive.
Bottom line:
probably i'm not the only one, so you, pro MS creatures, could hire linux team. -
sonux78 said 6 years ago
Seriously: You need a linux team. I don't want to insult you, but i think you would agree, that you can't do it all alone! I mean, how can be, that so many linux users are not satisfied with your work and you can't even tell, you need some help?
We are asking two years now for video, and you don't have even a time schedule for this future. No, I'm not frustrated, I just wanted to say it loud, what I think is right! -
fdmarco said 6 years ago
I agree totally with sonux78.Only two persons working on linux skype…we are not second class users and it is clear that 2 programmers can't do that alone.
We Want Video! -
taschwer said 6 years ago
sure..you seem to have some progress. congratulation. but give me a "real" reason to try a version where even allready working things (e.g. groups) are gone.
By the way, what the heck is "platform independent programming" .. how could that be: Win 3.5 & LINUX 1.4 at the same time?? -
ltsmash08 said 6 years ago
I dont care about video, but I care about two things:
- Skypecasts support (if possible Firefox Integration).
- Hide logged off contacts. -
u01p2109 said 6 years ago
Ctrl+Q – Quit
Ctrl+W – close Window
Ctrl+E – show Events (history)

Ctrl+X – cut (or copy)
Ctrl+C – Copy
Ctrl+V – pasteHow to join to Skypecast?! I can only create it, but can`t join! Only if frend send me skypecas call number (like +99999999999999).

Hello, is this version to be considered as finished??? no more releases in a month and a half…and many work to do… very slow development!
bulletfx said 6 years ago
is Skype™ 1.4 development dead?
halaszvari said 6 years ago
I'm always installing the latest version of Skype on my machines more than 2 years ago, but I'm using it once in a month only, while I have to chat, or make calls avg 2-4 hours a day.
I have to use 2 or more other clients (mostly pidgin for chat, openwengo for video, sometimes gizmo for voip) to contact with my friends and colleges from the other side (Windows users with Skype client for Windows), because I need Beagle searchable chat logs, os integration, video support, plugin support, etc…
Why is this so difficult, to make a standard compliant (v4l based, os integrated, extendable) Skype client for Linux?
telefonchris said 6 years ago
It is almost one year now (it was on Okt. 7th 2006) when I posted first here asking for a better skype that does not crash. Half a year later we got a version which is much much better but still has some bugs (call window opens twice when ENTER button is pressed on ordinary call window, …). Since I am living far away from home most time I would like to see my family with skype.
You promised us video for skype in the first half of this year. Linux community is really not impatient but we would like to know about the status of the development.
As today is my birthday it would be a good opportunity to surprise me with a little gift… -
mjmarrio said 6 years ago
I downloaded Skype (Linux) the same day I was married. My wife has now grown too old and ugly so I no longer want video. Thanks anyway…
robert.forchheimer said 6 years ago
Hi, I get the error message "Call Failed: Problem with Audio Playback" when setting up a call.
However, when other people calls me, everything works fine.
I use Ubuntu 7.04 (ASUS motherboard, integrated (VIA) sound, Skype version 188.8.131.52)
mckansey said 4 years ago
Is it so diffucult to make a working version for Linux? Especially 64bit and Video????
But this doesn't care the developers because we are only the Linux community.
Really stupid!!!

Large retailer still interested in Yazoo
By VERNON SIKES
Herald Correspondent
No specific names were mentioned in Tuesday's Public Service Commission (PSC) board meeting, but it appears Yazoo City is still in the running for a "major retailer."
When PSC Chairman Wardell Leach questioned PSC engineer Wayne Morrison about progress on "contact with the retailer," Morrison said he contacted "them yesterday (Monday), and they're still working on their side of the plans."
Morrison added that the retailer is waiting for the city to get the right-of-way for the Willie Morris Parkway. Local officials are not able to identify the business in question due to confidentiality agreements.
Just prior to Leach's question, Morrison said he continues to work on acquiring rights-of-way for the parkway.

USDA's Seneca County Farm Service Agency reminds wheat and barley producers the final date to report fall seeded crops is Dec. 17.
Producers who participate in crop insurance are reminded to report the same acreage to FSA and on crop insurance reporting to avoid discrepancies between the two agencies.
In a normal year, wheat accounts for 15.3 percent of crop acreage reported by Seneca County farmers, according the local FSA office. Typically, 39,156 acres of wheat are planted out of a total of 256,304 acres of all reported cropland in the county.
Failure to report wheat or barley acreage by the reporting deadline will cause the loss of program benefits. Most farm programs administered by FSA require producers to report crop acreage including the Conservation Reserve Program, Marketing Assistance Loan Program and the Non Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program.
For more information, call (419) 447-7071, ext. 2, or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/pas.

On the Susan Boyle UTube phenomenon
"Possibly we overrate Miss Boyle's accomplishment, for what has she proved but that an individual can aspire, that a cheerful perseverance can prevail, that an imprisoning mold can be cast off and that life, after all, can be fair."
"One dream is realized, and twenty million other dreams are fetched from the closet, dusted off and tried on again for size."
"Is it a sin to share vicariously the shining moment of another? Hardly, for the triumph of one underdog is a triumph for the species. To paraphrase the poet, Send not to know for whom the crowd cheers, it cheers for thee."
When Death Comes For Us
When Death comes for us
may our lives be already safely stored away
in the minds and hearts and memories of those we have loved,
and in the happiness and well-being of all we have helped,
and may death find no life to take from us
but shuffle off defeated,
having relieved us only of our dying.
A stray reverie
"I remember Halloweens of long ago and a child in a ghost costume, and somehow it seems more real to me than the memory of long-ago Christmases and a ghost in a child costume."
~~ Robert Brault

Boning up: Is it art or science? Norman Barker is an expert on both. The associate professor of pathology and art as applied to medicine at Johns Hopkins University shot this cross section of a dinosaur bone at 15× magnification. The bone (blue), from an unknown species, is about the size of a roll of duct tape and was found in the Morrison Formation on the Colorado Plateau, where fossils are common. The iron oxide (red) in the quartz-filled (white) sample could be part of the marrow or spongy bone, but Barker says "it could also be a tree root that grew and decomposed over the millions and millions of years it takes before the actual specimen becomes fossilized."

PITTSBURGH—A Pittsburgh-area judge convicted of extortion has dropped his bid to get back his law license.
Former Allegheny County Judge Joseph Jaffe filed a petition with the state's Disciplinary Board in June to get his license back. Jaffe's attorney withdrew the petition last week.
Jaffe was disbarred eight years ago following a guilty plea to charges he extorted money from a lawyer in a case before him. Authorities say he solicited $13,000 from the lawyer to pay off country club fees and other bills.
The board's Office of Disciplinary Counsel opposed Jaffe's petition.
Jaffe is currently serving as a paralegal in the office of attorney Milton Raiford, who himself was once disbarred and got his license back.
Jaffe's request was withdrawn without prejudice, so he could apply some other time.

I like Diehl on the team but just not as a starter. We're getting good play out of our tackles currently and I'd hate to see that messed with.
2014 Giants Mock (Extra 3rd from Nicks FA comp)
1. Khalil Mack, DE/LB, Buffalo
2. Zach Martin, G/C, Notre Dame
3. Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss
3. Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida
4. Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
5. Marcel Jensen, TE, Fresno State
6. Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU
I'm KIDDING....I would never say my daughter's painting of me sucked! But the sentiment in reference to Diehl is true. I love what the guy has been as a Giant, but it's clear that he's not the same player anymore....we all get old, it's a sad fact of life.
Next year we need to address the basics in the draft and FA, the DLine and Oline.
My sliding mock: (mid round pick)
1-Cyril Richardson G Baylor / CJ Mosely LB Bama
2-Shane Skov LB Stanford / Travis Swanson C Ark
3-Louchiez Purifoy CB Florida / Brandon Coleman WR Rutgers
4-Bryan Stork C Florida St / Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB Nebraska
5-DeVonte Parker WR Louisville / Chris Watt G ND
6-Kareem Martin DE UNC / Jerome Smith RB Syracuse
biz as usual ... haha and fans cheering for Diehl's injury still ... he's been here awhile and Eli hasnt missed a game DUH ! ... these fair weather / bandwagon fans are worse than ever
direct product of winning the Super Bowl ... you get the no nothing leftover any bandwagon fans ... pffftt
Apologize to Melo 5
With the OLine seeming to have improved a little, I think they will ease him back in so that's he's 100 % healthy when he takes the field.

Jays' injured closer Scott Downs threw for 10 minutes in the bullpen on Tuesday afternoon before batting practice, but he will not be ready to return to the active roster likely before the Jays play in Baltimore on July 10.
"It's looking like it could be three days, it still could be a week, it sould be two weeks, I don't know," Downs said. "It depends on when I can actually run on it. Bullpen went good today. I'll take tomorrow off, long-toss tomorrow, another side on Friday and then we'll go from there."
There is a certain amount of discomfort when Downs throws, but he insisted that he's pitched with discomfort before and as long as it doesn't affect his mechanics, then it's all about conditioning.
"It's going to depend on how my body feels," Downs said. "My arm feels good. It's the most time I've had off in a while. It might take me a couple of times even when I'm healthy to get back into the groove."
Downs is eligible to return from the disabled list on Friday in New York, but with the following Rays series on artificial turf, the Jays would be prudent to have him return 10 days from now in Baltimore. He will not have to go to the minors on an injury rehab assignment.

The Hatsune Miku song "Time Machine" by 1640mP (there are two called Time Machine), and the Gumi song "Just a game" by Takamatt.
When I went to EA's concert last night, I made eye contact with Emilie during Take the Pill. Towards the beginning when she says "Take the pill or youll be sorry. Take this bloody pill and make it quick." She was so intense when she did it and was pointing at me and stuff. I think my heart almost stopped for a split second. x.x
And then I made eye contact with Captain Maggots, one of her backup people, during The Art of Suicide while Emilie was off singing. She was holding the plant/feathery thing and stared at me for a really long time. x.x I didn't dare look away. Plus I always get addicted to this one after EA concerts because everyone sings along with it and it's easily one of the best parts just because of the feeling in the place while it's being sung! How odd that a song like that should be one of them that brings everyone together. hehe
i can't stop listening to this
I've got some:
Nell - 백야
Kara - GUILTY (한승연 Solo)
Kim Sung Kyu - 60초
Joosuc - 난 널 잊었어 (feat.Ailee)

Just got 3DS - Friend Code: 4914 - 4025 - 8338

Just cleared the second dungeon and holy shit that boss was the best boss I've ever played and you should buy the game and play it.
You can hunt down bugs! And the bugs try to run away from you!
