Writer/director Chris Butler puts his experience working on Coraline and Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride to good use in this charmingly morbid tale of an eccentric young hero facing supernatural forces that would make most grown-ups cower in fear. Eleven-year-old Norman Babcock (voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a young misfit with a remarkable gift: He sees dead people. Although Norman's clairvoyance allows him the unique opportunity to enjoy the company of his beloved grandmother (Elaine Stritch) long after she has ceased to be, it also drives his frustrated father Perry (Jeff Garlin) and popularity-obsessed sister Courtney (Anna Kendrick) up the wall at home and makes him the target of dim-witted bully Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) at school. His only friend is portly Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), who isn't exactly a beacon of coolness. When Norman's deceased uncle Prenderghast (John Goodman), a local pariah, warns the young boy that he must save their small town of Blithe Hollow from a witch's curse that has plagued the area for centuries, the young creature-feature addict isn't entirely sure how to respond -- that is, until the sky turns red, the clouds start to swirl, and the dead rise up from their graves. Now, as a terrified mob takes to the streets with torches in hand, it's up to Norman, Courtney, Alvin, Neil, and Neil's older brother Mitch (Casey Affleck) to put things right, even if it means confronting the 300-year-old curse that has haunted Blithe Hollow ever since the notorious witch hunts of the 18th century. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Disney and Pixar join forces for this computer-animated tale about a wide-eyed robot who travels to the deepest reaches of outer space in search of a newfound friend. The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind. When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there's hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in space, WALL-E can't stand the thought of losing the only friend he's ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for. Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton returns to the helm for this family-friendly sci-fi adventure featuring the voices of Fred Willard, Jeff Garlin, and Ben Burtt. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Office star Rainn Wilson portrays a drummer named "Fish," who gets a second shot at fame 20 years after getting kicked out of his band on the very night they signed the record contract that made them stars. Fish has spent the past two decades languishing at soul-crushing day jobs while his old bandmates became legends, continuing to grace magazine covers and dominate the radio. He might just get another chance at musical success, however, when his teenage cousin invites him to drum for his high school garage band, and they end up catching the ear of record executives. Now, Fish is determined to live the hedonistic rock & roll lifestyle he missed out on 20 years ago, but his new bandmates don't appreciate his hard partying -- and neither do his middle-aged knees. This Fox Atomic comedy co-stars Christina Applegate. Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) and Tom McNulty co-produced the feature, which was penned by Wallace Wolodarsky and Maya Forbes, and directed by Peter Cattaneo (Opal Dream). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man attempts to deal with a truly remarkable variety of personal and emotional problems in this comedy drama based on the real-life experiences of comedian and author Jeff Nichols. Jeff (Seann William Scott) is a man edging into his thirties who has a serious drinking problem along with Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia and Tourette's Syndrome; to say Jeff has a hard time dealing with others stretches the boundaries of understatement, and he devotes a fair share of his day to support meetings, even ones dealing with conditions which don't involve his problems. Jeff prefers to blame his wealthy parents (Dierdre O'Connell) and (Denis O'Hare) for his problems, even though they haven't done much besides stand aside as he's burned down their home. Unable to hold down a job, Jeff has been evicted from the garage he was renting from Bert (Kevin Conway), who can no longer handle his many eccentricities, but with nowhere else to go, he somehow charms his way into the heart and home of Lynn (Gretchen Mol), a woman he met at a support group for people with relationship problems. While Lynn is a walking mass of phobias regarding men and romance, she discovers something in the damaged Jeff that encourages her to take a chance on him. Adapted from Nichols's autobiography The Little Yellow Bus, Trainwreck: My Life As An Idiot was the first theatrical feature from director Tod Harrison Williams. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Devastated after being fired by director Woody Allen, actress Annabelle Gurwitch sets out on a soul-searching journey to discover whether getting the axe was the best or worst thing ever to happen in her professional career. Anyone who has been in the workforce for an extended amount of time has likely been there -- one minute you've got a good-paying job that you love, and the next minute you're standing in the unemployment line. When Annabelle Gurwitch got fired by the legendary director of such classics as Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo, she thought her career was over. Upon turning to her many showbiz pals for advice, however, Gurwitch quickly discovered that she was not alone. In this documentary, Gurwitch enlists the aid of filmmakers Chris Bradley and Kyle La Brache in traveling the country to interview such celebrities as Tim Allen, David Cross, Sarah Silverman, and Jeff Garlin to find out exactly how they dealt with the heavy hand of rejection. Additional interviews with GM workers in Lansing, MI, who were handed their pink slips offer some tales that are tragically comedic and others that seems to reinforce the old adage about one door closing and another door opening, while a visit to job fairs and "outplacement services" show just what the jobless endure on a day-to-day basis. Conversations with the downsizers as well as the downsized offer viewers a chance to explore the topic from both sides as host Gurwitch reminds viewers that sometimes the greatest success stories are born of failure. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Jeff Garlin, best known for his role as Larry David's manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm, has directed standup comedy specials for Jon Stewart and Denis Leary, and makes his feature-film debut with his own adaptation of his one-man stage show, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With. Garlin stars as James, an overweight, depressed actor who does improv at Second City. James lives with his mother (Mina Kolb) and constantly cheats on his diet. His life seems to be in a downward spiral. He quits his acting job on a sleazy prank show, his girlfriend (Rebecca Sage Allen) breaks up with him, and his agent (Richard Kind) dumps him. When he visits his friend's daughter's elementary school for Career Day, he embarrasses himself in front of the attractive teacher (Bonnie Hunt) by rambling inappropriately about his personal problems in front of the kids. He hears about a Chicago-based remake of Paddy Chayefsky's Marty, one of his favorite movies, and the role he seemingly was born to play, but he can't even get an audition. One day, after giving up on Compulsive Eaters Anonymous, he seeks solace in an ice cream parlor, where he meets Beth (Sarah Silverman), who quickly wins his heart by offering him free ice cream, and asking him a sexually provocative question. But his attraction to the sexually aggressive and somewhat demented Beth may bring James more problems than it solves. The film, which features appearances by Amy Sedaris, Dan Castellaneta, Wallace Langham, Roger Bart, Paul Mazursky, David Pasquesi, and Joey Slotnick, had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

A not-so-ordinary family finds a new way of paying the bills in this comedy. Dick Harper (Jim Carrey) and his wife, Jane (Téa Leoni), would seem to have it made -- Dick has a high-paying job, they live in an expensive house in the suburbs, they have two luxury cars in the driveway, and a housekeeper, Blanca (Gloria Garayua), to help look after their son, Billy. But Dick and Jane's fairy-tale life crashes head-on into reality when the firm Dick works for turns out to have been using unscrupulous accounting methods to disguise the fact they've been losing money hand over fist, and Dick has been made the fall guy for some of their dirty dealings. Suddenly flat broke, Dick and Jane must find a new way to support their lavish lifestyle, and in time they discover just the thing -- crime. A remake of Ted Kotcheff's 1977 hit (which helped re-launch Jane Fonda's screen career), Fun With Dick and Jane also stars Alec Baldwin, John Michael Higgins, and Angie Harmon. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A closeted Chicago architect wrestles with the prospect of coming out to his Irish Catholic brothers following the death of their parents in Stolen Summer writer/director Pete Jones' affectionate family comedy. His entire live, Bobby Riley (Jones) has been living a lie. The product of a traditional Irish-Catholic family, Bobby is a typical guy who likes beer and loves sports. In fact, the only notable difference between Bobby and your average Chicago Irish-Catholic is that Bobby happens to be gay. For years, the only person who knew Bobby's well-guarded secret was his sister Maggie (Julie R. Pearl) - a no-nonsense lawyer with an open mind and no time for secrets. Though his live-in boyfriend Andy (Michael McDonald) longs for the day he will be able to express his love openly, Bobby insists on projecting a heterosexual image with a little assistance from longtime lesbian gal pal Carly (Dana Gilhooley). On the heels of their father's death, Maggie attempts to convince Bobby that the time has come to tell his brothers the truth about his lifestyle. The only problem is that Bobby's brothers aren't simply straight - they're fairly narrow as well. Of course prankish Luke (Nathan Fillion) and unstable Connor (Stoney Westmoreland) could probably come to grips with the truth, but what about Jack (Dev Kennedy)? The eldest sibling and a devoted clergyman, Jack would most certainly have an adverse reaction to such a life-changing announcement. When Bobby determines to reveal his secret and becomes suddenly tongue tied at the last minute, it's up to outspoken sister Maggie to set the record straight whether Bobby likes it or not. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The ten episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm's fourth season are largely motivated by the improbable premise of Mel Brooks offering Seinfeld creator Larry David the opportunity to star in Brooks' smash Broadway musical The Producers. Somehow this setup results in a blood feud between Larry and Ben Stiller (a case of adding injury to insult). Other mishaps during this season include a politically incorrect confrontation with a group of handicapped workers, a world-class crisis involving name tags, a set-to with David Schwimmer over cashews and raisins, an attempt to skirt the traffic laws and to provide medical marijuana for Larry's dad, and the near-death of the best friend of Larry's associate, Jeff (Jeff Garlin). The season comes to a riotous conclusion with a special one-hour episode built around Larry's opening night on Broadway. Events crucial to the outcome include a benighted tryst with The Producers co-star Cady Huffman and the ultimate revelation of Mel Brooks' ulterior motives for casting Larry in the first place. Suffice to say that the dialogue sounds awfully familiar in this climactic episode, which also features cameos by Brooks' actress wife Anne Bancroft and a certain comic named Jerry Seinfeld ~ Rovi

In hopes of shedding their not-so-cool reputations during the summer before their freshman year, best friends Julie (Alexa Vega), Hannah (Mika Boorem), Yancy (Kalli Flynn Childress), and Farrah (Scout Taylor-Compton) decide to host the sleepover of their lives. Far from a mere pillow-fight-laden girl talk-fest, this sleepover includes an intense scavenger hunt against the most simultaneously loathed and envied young women they know: the infamous "popular" clique. Along the way, the girls manage to hijack a car, sneak into clubs, engage in a first kiss, and learn more than a little bit about themselves and their capabilities -- all while evading the watchful eyes of Julie's mother. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Two fathers get a crash course in caring for kids other than their own in this family-friendly comedy. Charlie Hinton (Eddie Murphy) is an advertising executive whose job monopolizes his time, making it difficult for him to stay in touch with his young son, Ben (Khamani Griffin). However, after Charlie and his partner, Phil (Jeff Garlin), are given their pink slips in the wake of a disastrous campaign for a new breakfast cereal, Charlie's wife, Kim (Regina King), goes back to work, and with the family budget tighter than before, Charlie becomes a stay-at-home dad. After pulling Ben out of an expensive and exclusive daycare center run by the humorless Gwyneth Harridan (Anjelica Huston), Charlie comes up with a brainstorm -- since he and Phil watch their own children every day, how much harder could it be to watch a few more kids and open their own day care center? Charlie and Phil discover there's much more to running a daycare center than they ever imagined, but after a very rough start, with the help of likable slacker Marvin (Steve Zahn) their new business becomes a success -- so much so that Harridan finds herself losing customers to the upstart fathers, and she starts searching for a way to shut them down. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The ten episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm's third season are linked together by a common throughline, wherein Seinfeld creator Larry David partners with actors Ted Danson and Michael York to open a restaurant. As the plots (and the ad-libs) merrily roll along, Larry gets into a brouhaha over uniforms for the waiters, conducts a Broadway-style audition for a new chef, and manages to insult a prominent food critic -- twice. And in other misadventures, Larry dials up a mess of trouble at the Emmy Awards ceremony with his new cell phone; he and wife, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), confront "The Nanny From Hell"; rap artist "Krazze-Eyes Killah" meets his Waterloo; the wife of Paul Reiser is repeatedly and inadvertently on the receiving end of Larry's insults; the death of Larry's mother brings out the worst in practically everyone; and Larry's associate, Jeff (Jeff Garlin), finds that a reconciliation with his wife may hinge on his acceptance of a corpse-sniffing German shepherd. Add to all this Larry's never-ending inability to hand out appropriate tips, and it is easy to see that Seinfeld was far more than a figment of Larry David's imagination. And, oh yes, we should mention such guest stars as Joan Rivers, Alanis Morissette, and Martin Scorsese. ~ Rovi

Described as a modern-day Hollywood version of Day for Night, director Steven Soderbergh's first digital video production was also shot employing a modified version of the frills-free
Dogma 95
rules set forth by Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, allowing a relatively small budget of about two million dollars. Julia Roberts and Blair Underwood star, respectively, as Francesca and Calvin, actors performing in a motion picture directed by David Fincher and co-starring Brad Pitt (who play themselves). Woven in and out of the film production story thread are several other subplots including one about a lovelorn woman, Linda (Mary McCormack); the self-absorbed Gus (David Duchovny); and a husband, Carl (David Hyde Pierce), whose wife (Catherine Keener) is falling for Calvin. Described initially as a follow-up to Soderbergh's independent breakout hit, sex, lies and videotape, Full Frontal isn't a sequel in the strictest sense of the word and is only thematically related to the earlier film in its exploration of voyeurism and sexuality. The film also stars Brad Rowe, Enrico Colantoni, and Nicky Katt. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The survival imperative in evolution - Where does it come from?
Anyone who has ever created a computational evolution simulation, knows that not only do you need to carefully design a robust environment, a viable fitness function and just the right mix of parameter values, but also you need to explicitly impose the survival and reproduction imperative if the simulation is to actually produce artificial life rather than falling flat.
Especially in an open-ended scenario with no a-priori goal, which is of course closest to the actual situation we find ourselves in. Nothing tends to happen without artificially introducing that most fundamental driving force. Without the survival imperative, there is no life.
In most cases a simulation is explicitly oriented towards some goal (as opposed to natural selection) by hardcoding a fitness function, reproduction, mutation, and death. In other words, the cycle of life itself is not actually part of the simulated content, but an immutable ruleset established by the designer.
I think the principle of least action, as well no doubt as countless uncelebrated simulation runs the world over, would sooner suggest a dead planet than a live one.
Whether it's the individual or the gene that is subject selection, the drive to perpetuate itself has to originate from somewhere outside of itself. Survival as a goal is implicit in our DNA, but not in the chemicals that make it up. And this DNA is the product of an evolutionary process which itself needs the survival imperative to drive it. In other words, the theory suggests that the process of evolution is responsible for generating one of its own preconditions, which is obviously impossible. What gives?
If the theory of the evolution of life on earth can not explain how its most basic feature entered the scene, then I would consider that a very serious flaw in the theory. As with so many theories (actually all of them), the very foundation that makes the whole thing work appears to be sorely unaccounted for, and instead just taken for granted.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 21 2013: Interesting discussion. In the last paragraph was suggested, or perhaps implied, a "Theory". or Primitive Term. Such a basic axiom must be "taken for granted", since there is no way to "prove" a basic axiom. As to what it should be, one obvious candidate would be that "Consciousness" is already there, in the form of " Field", analogous to Electricity. If so, just as electrical gadgets appear to have "Emergent Properties", a small part of the Field taking up residence in a serviceable "body" might well show "survival" tendencies, without its being necessarily encoded in genes , or anything like lhat. In a poetic kind of way, not very far from Buddhism.
Sep 21 2013: The problem with axioms is indeed that they have to be taken for granted, without any explanation or justification. If the theory resting on those axioms could actually explain or justify them, then they wouldn't need them. That is called an air castle, Shawn, no matter how much everyone would like to deny it or wiggle their way out of it or make excuses for it. "How can we build our precious air castle without making any baseless assumptions first?" That's right, you can't. And if that's what you want to do, then have at it. But why call it something it's not.
If you have no real foundation, only things taken for granted, then nothing you build on top of that is ever going to rest on solid ground, on something that we can rely on and say with certainty that it holds up. And again we all assume that there is no certainty to be had, but then still we have nothing to gain from calling it something it's not. If we don't know anything, we don't know anything, period, and all the contortions in the world can not change that, it can only blind us from it, especially if that's what is being passed on by teachers who are themselves convinced that what they think they know is true.
As for consciousness, yes that is the only certainty there is. Plus the certainty that there are no other certainties or even probabilities. But I'd be careful about calling it a buddhist or hindu scheme, because if you want anything other than unfounded conjecture you'll want to steer clear of all "schemes" and instead work your way back to basics.
And that's why I disagree with you that science is actually drifting in that direction as you claimed in another comment here. You can never get there if all you can do is adopt some kind of scheme, whether that be a "standard model" or an "eastern philosophy". Consciouness is consciousness, it's not an eastern thing and it's not an -ism. The moment you turn it into another theory you're just making exactly the same mistake all over again. -
Sep 21 2013: Which is why I'm not pushing alternatives here and instead would rather stay away from that whole can of worms. All that gets you is branded an idiot. As you can see I'm already a hocus pocus mystic according to at least one guy here, even though all I've tried to do is engage in rational argument and examine the things we take for granted, and never even mentioned anything remotely mystical. And sure enough, reason is indeed hocus pocus for many. Besides that, there is nothing mystical about consciousness.
But of course everyone only finds it all very tedious and pointless. And it is. Also I get that most respondents here aren't really focussed on considering anything impartially but only on representing science, or whatever their system of beliefs. But that's their problem, not mine.
The only way to get anywhere is by first coming out of the hole of erroneous thinking. You don't need to defend another position or adopt a new belief or try to fit some hypothesis into your current frame of reference. Your current frame of reference is exactly the thing that needs to be subjected to scrutiny first, because that's the false basis for everything else.
As for what you said in the other comment that science can come up with something more plausible than turtles, the fact of the matter is that it can't. There is no alternative in theory-land, whether you call it science or something else. As soon as you create a theory, you're up in the air, that's the inescapable nature of it.
Now it may be turtles all the way down (and all the way up), or it may be a magic taken-for-granted turtle, or it may be circular turtles, but those are the only options available and they are all logically impossible, hence false. Which means anything and everything based such turtles is necessarily false as well, just more turtles. If a theory starts with an impossibility, then of course the whole theory is impossible. And all theories start with an impossibility. So no theory is true.
Sep 21 2013: I'm not saying what anyone should do. Also I'm not suggesting that we migrate to a different air castle such as creationism.
Yes, here we are. That indisputable fact means that absolute and unequivocal truth exists. We know there is something, and whatever it is, is the truth and is unassailable. The only way for there to be no truth is if there were no existence at all, but then there wouldn't be anyone around to claim that truth does not exist. To say that truth does not exist is the same as doubting that you doubt it.
The point here is only that no mental construct can ever be a true reflection of it. That's probably the mother of all assumptions: that any kind of mind game can tell you anything about the truth. It can't, it can only give you turtles. That doesn't mean there is no existence, it only means that mind can never grasp it, no matter how hard it tries.
Fortunately it doesn't need to. Abstract knowledge is false knowledge. Yes, consciousness is just another turtle insofar as it's just another theory, another mind game. But consciousness is actually the only thing that is not just another theory. Just as you are sure that "here we are", you are sure that consciousness is here. In fact consciousness is why you are sure. Those two are one and the same certainty, and you don't need a theory for it.
You're right that logic ultimately has no foundation as well, it's just more mind games, and actually it's just more consciousness in action like everything else. But fallacious reasoning is what you used to dig yourself into this hole, and correct reasoning is what you use to find your way out of it, and to establish that any such hole is necessarily a dead end with regards to the truth of existence.
You can insist on postulating an impossibility if you want, but it's still a dead end, or rather a dead start. Any conception of existence that we may have is necessarily dead on arrival, and no amount of life we try to breathe into it will ever change that. -
Sep 21 2013: To be honest Shawn, all of this is primarily for my own benefit. If someone else should benefit from it as well, then that's nice, but I have no particular expectation about that. I didn't plan to actually get into all this meticulous stuff when I started this conversation, and I wasn't even sure why I would want to start a conversation at all. But it just kinda happened and this is what it turned into. I have no particular beef with science insofar as it can be useful in everyday life. And actually whatever beef I may have with anything whatsoever, is strictly my problem and nobody else's. So that's not my point at all, if I even have one.
The reason it's of benefit to me is because writing is an excellent way of confronting yourself and clarifying things for yourself, publicly or privately (and trust me it's privately for the most part). As you might guess there are a lot of stubborn habits to overcome in this endeavor and it's very easy to keep getting blindsided by them. So chewing over all this stuff at the overt level (especially in written format), and keeping a critical eye at all the dynamics behind it at the covert level (and exposing them by making them overt to yourself), is an extremely valuable method of finding your own way out of that hole.

Hi Roger,
I think reading your message you are looking for software to work with your website to do A/B testing? If this is the case then I'm affraid we cannot help on this occassion.
However, if you are looking for "live" Usability Testing, i.e. in a "lab" environment, then we can certainly help. We have provided lab testing using real people to check websites for the likes of Figleaves, The White Company, Marks & Spencer, banks, telecoms companies, local authorities and others.
If you think we can help, please let me know.

Hi Roger,
There area few options out there depending on how deep into the site you want to do the testing.
Google launched their own Page Optimiser service last year, but it look like it's still in beta testing and they're being ver slow about apprving new accounts.
Ian Jindal talked about using Touch Clarity when he spoke about this subject at the masterclass last year.
If you're just looking at landing pages rather than content within the site itself then Offermatica is popular and easy to get set up.
Hope that's a help

Hi Roger,
I read your posting with interest.
I am Director at Maxymiser which is the only European based company to provide A/B and Multivariate testing at present. I would be more than happy to help you through what you should be looking out for with an A/B or Multivariate testing tool.
There are a number of US based companies for you to look at, and Google has launched its WebOptimiser tool which might be worth a look too.
Kind regards
Mark Simpson

This extra work ensures that the Strider PT is a folder that will hold up to hard use! The PT can also be used as a money clip or you can remove the clip if you do not want it!

What's come down is finally going up.
Reconstruction of the I-71/670 interchange reached a milestone last night, according to Ohio Department of Transportation officials. After seven months in heavy demolition mode on the northeastern edge of Downtown, contractors started work tonight on a new I-670 bridge over St. Clair Avenue.
Although there's still more to come down — and there already has been some new infrastructure going up — officials say the latest work marks a turning point in the three-year, $200 million project.
From here on out, the focus mostly will be on construction.
"Up until this point, the majority of what people saw was demolition — taking down bridges, removing pavement," said Breanna Watzka, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Department's central Ohio district.
"We've been talking about what we're going to do. Now you'll see it happen."
None of this means an end to ramp closings, lane restrictions and detours, however.
As the I-670 overpass goes up, St. Clair Avenue must shut down between Leonard and 2nd avenues. It was closed last night for about 10 hours and is scheduled to close again tonight at 7 until about 5 a.m. on Saturday.
The first step is installing steel beams that will support the roadway.
Next week, construction crews will do the same work for a new I-670 overpass at Jack Gibbs Boulevard. That street will be shut down all week from 5 a.m. on Monday through 5 p.m. on Friday.
Work on a new Cleveland Avenue overpass will begin in late June.
Watzka said construction will begin later this summer for two of the major new pieces of the I-71/670 project: higher flyover ramps that will carry eastbound I-670 traffic onto northbound I-71 or to what's billed as a faster route toward Port Columbus.
The interchange reconstruction is the first of five scheduled projects totaling $816.1 million that are designed to reduce crashes, eliminate weaving traffic and relieve congestion along Downtown highways.
I-70, I-71 and the stretch where they share the same roadway on Downtown's southern edge are among Ohio's most hazardous and most congested. About twice as many people use some portions of the highways than they were designed to accommodate back in the 1950s.
Just as congestion became a way of life Downtown, detours have taken hold as well since the first barricades went up in September.
Beth Ervin, spokeswoman for Experience Columbus, the city's convention and visitors bureau, said efforts to keep hotel workers, parking-lot attendants and others up to date on the project seem to have paid off.
"We know we have a long haul," she said.
In addition to the ongoing ramp closings, a few are scheduled for coming days and weeks.
Starting today, Spring Street over I-71 will be closed for six months as contractors tear down and rebuild an overpass. The exit from I-71 to Spring Street will stay open, but traffic heading from the Near East Side into Downtown should use Broad Street or other alternate routes.
From 8 tonight to 5 a.m. on Monday, Main and Fulton street ramps onto northbound I-71 will close to accommodate bridge demolition. The Miller-Kelton ramp onto westbound I-70 will be closed as well.
At 9 p.m., ramps from both directions of I-70 onto northbound I-71 will close for the weekend.

Just Beyond the Hedges, Rice Village: OH MY GOD. OH MY GOGI!
Say you are a Korean who misses her kimchi and has an affinity for Mexican food…OH MY GOGI! We have a solution for you!
OhMyGogi is a Mexican-Korean fusion food truck with an eye-catching logo and some smiley cooks! With tacos, fries, quesadillas, and burgers, it's no surprise this food truck is gaining popularity in Houston. I ordered the chicken kimchi quesadillas ($5), and the kimchi bulgogi fries ($6)…OMGI! It was so delicious. It was like being back in Singapore again, where food has an extra punch of excitement. Surprisingly, the kimchi and the cheese are married from the best of two worlds: the creaminess of the cheese and the crunchiness of the kimchi. It is a match made in heaven.
Chicken Kimchi Quesadillas: What really amazed me was the kimchi and cheese pressed in the middle of the tortilla, and the light house special sauce with salsa roja on top. It was so elegantly crafted and paired nicely with a small slice of lemon. The tiny bit of cilantro was just enough to make the quesadilla both filling and refreshing.
OMG! Kimchi Bulgogi Fries: I have never eaten fries with a fork before, but when you go to OhMyGogi, it's a must. Slaughtered on top: four different kinds of cheeses, spicy house sauce, sriracha sauce, with onion and cilantro… this is stole the spotlight of the night. It's a deceiving dish because it could easily be overlooked as an ordinary basket of fries with some ketchup and cheese, but it's secretly packed with explosive flavor.
Overall, OMG! is a nice break from studying and a good way to excite your taste buds. If you think eating food at night makes you sleepy, OMG! is like drinking a Red Bull or getting a double-shot espresso drink. It creates a whole new level of late night snacking. You will just crave OhMyGogi.
Check out their twitter for information about when they are open here. And as a heads up, if you are going for the food and not just to satisfy your after beer munchies, go on a weekday, so you don't fight with the long lines on Friday and Saturday nights.

Children, be curious. Nothing is worse (I know it) than when curiosity stops. Nothing is more repressive than the repression of curiosity. Curiosity begets for love. It weds us to the world. It's part of our perspective, madcap love for this impossible planet we inhabit. People die when curiosity goes. People have to find out, people have to know. How can there be any true revolution till we know what we're made of?

There are many lore of how this world came to be, but the most common, is that of The Creator. The legend goes that the Creator was born with the universe, there are still many debates on how the Creator and universe came to be, but no one can seem to explain it. The universe at that time was very empty and the Creator began to create worlds, each one more different then the last. A few planets there, a sun and moon there, small stuff, but as the Creator expanded his world, the darkness began to gather, and thus, Caius was born from the darkness. He rivaled the Creator in power and soon began to destroy the work that the Creator had done. The Creator fought Caius, and the battle raged for years, and due to there power being equaling match, the battle would never end. Soon the universe itself began to unravel from the constant power of the two Gods. The Creator realized this and tried to reason with Caius but Caius just took advantage of the Creator's good will and wounded the Creator, but as Caius stood over the Creator, gloating at his victory and preparing to take the killing blow, the Creator gathered what power he could and Caius was seal in a different dimension. The universe slowed repaired the damage that was done and the life on the planets that survived the battle grew.
Caius raged in his own dimension for thousands of years and like the Creator, he design his own worlds but ones that didn't bring life, and made from light but world twisted, and decaying planets that were surround by the darkness. Caius had tried for many times to break through the barrier that the Creator had made to prevent him from returning but it seemed he was forever trapped there in till gateways began to appear and would open between the worlds, each time a different place and at random intervals. But this made Caius plot and soon he had sorcerers who study the gateways, and even though Caius was still bound to his own dimension , and soon they were able to create there own gateways. Caius's advance on the Creator's world, and the Creator, being eternally wounded, could do nothing to stop it from happening.
Regulus was the planet's name, and it had the misfortune to being the closest of being between the two dimensions, and thus Caius's army's appeared there through the gateways and began destroying those that inhabit the planet. The planet Regulus had many different species of life and it would take the lifetime of the Creator to write them all down but that didn't matter to the army that swept across the land. Many of the people banded together, but their power wasn't enough, and the Creator saw this and by uses the last of his power, he split himself into six magical objects, each one representing each element that weaken the dark ones power in his universe and created a barrier that stopped them from being able to use the gates to enter the world. This was a millennium ago and the power of the barriers began to weaken, and many believe that the if the begin the objects together and make the Creator whole again, that maybe Caius can finally be defeated.

Hanns Kuttner
WASHINGTON -- Hudson Institute Visiting Fellow Hanns Kuttner will testify before the House Judiciary Committee tomorrow, July 24, at a hearing on the Marketplace Equity Act of 2011. He is expected to argue that the notion of "undue burden" on out-of-state sellers has been changed by technology, which has reduced the cost of many tasks, particularly information-heavy tasks. Comparing today to 1992, when the Supreme Court last addressed what constitutes an undue burden, Kuttner's testimony will note that if consumers or businesses "want to know what the sales tax will be in any particular jurisdiction, they can just Google it."
Kuttner's most recent Hudson Institute report on e-fairness, entitled "Future Marketplace: Free and Fair," shows that as technology enables more sales across state lines, it increases the dollar volume of sales on which state sales tax is not collected. In 2012, the report estimates that these sales will top $320 billion. The paper is available for download in PDF here.
Hanns Kuttner is available to comment on e-fairness, online sales taxes, and tax policy.

Great breakfast place , that you can walk to, from Sun N Sand Hotel on the Blue Star Highway, just outside South Haven. If it sunny and warm, you can sit outside on picnic tables that are covered with flowery oil cloth tablecloths. This is the second year in a row that my sisters have eaten here. The breakfast portions... More
Breakfast was just average.... Nothing to write home about... We chose this place because it was close to our accommodations. We did eat there 2 mornings in a row..... and I would go back because service was good and food was ok.
Had breakfast here twice on our family trip. It's nothing flashy, but everyone needs to know where to find a good diner. Cheap too!
Fish sandwich - pollock not perch - which had 2 or 3 pieces of fish. Great taste and nicely fried. Good omelet. Good turkey club. Nice portions and everything came out hot. Noticed a sewer gas type of smell when heading to the bathrooms. Both bathrooms were messy and not the cleanest.
Great breakfast and lunch with terrific service. Excellent for small or large groups. The outdoor seating is very nice.
We have been to Cousins a number of times and everyone in my family of five enjoys it. We have always been seated quickly, the service is prompt, and the menu has some interesting options. There are always daily specials for breakfast and lunch as well as pie specials. There is countertop seating as well as booth and table seating.... More
This place was so good we've eaten here twice since we arrived. The first was their AYCE fish special on Friday. DEElicious! These were Alaskan pollock and were sauteed and served with choice of potato and colesaw - $8.95. Clam chowder was delicious as well. I'm not a big eater but they were very good. Lots of regular customers in... More
We ate breakfast here on a slow early spring morning. It's pretty average. There are better breakfast experiences in the area, especially outside of the summer rush. Downtown Southhaven and saugatuck/Douglas have better options. Even the Glenn Pancake breakfast is a more authentic experience. The atmosphere at Cousins is your average diner. As far as diners go, I prefer Vikki's... More
We were looking for a place that served breakfast (other than McDonalds) so we asked some of the locals & they all suggested Cousins. It was a great find! The service & food was great

Which is is gonna create the department of business.
I I don't think adding a new chair in his cabinet will help add millions of jobs on main street.
-- Let's go that -- on the campaign trail in Roanoke Virginia.
Joined now by -- -- -- the national Press Secretary to the Obama campaign that lock on good having hair.
Morning Martha thank you so so what do you make mr.
Romney's argument there that that the last thing we need -- is yet another cabinet post.
Well this is an idea the Republican should have rushed to embrace when it was proposed on January 13 -- a proposal for smaller.
Smarter and more efficient government I thought that's the sort of thing that Republicans supported there's a half dozen departments that handle exports a half dozen departments -- handle small business.
The president wants to streamline government and put them into a one stop shop to better.
Service business but ultimately governor Romney has a different philosophy while the president has cut taxes on small business to encourage job creation.
Mitt Romney would raise taxes on small business to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires which is never -- job creation and -- The idea though is that -- you know and perhaps and the governor suggests that that's the president's job.
To sort of be the person who oversees the economy and guys it with leadership and at the last thing that we need.
-- yet at another post did you say we also have -- and we are you have an analyst number agencies that handle some of these things.
And as he and others have suggested maybe it's time to sort of cut through some of that red tape red tape rather than create more -- Well that's exactly what the president's point is it's to collapse some of those departments into a one stop shop to shrink the size of government.
But let's take a look at Mitt Romney's economic record and his proposals he promised when he came at a government in Massachusetts that -- pick up the pace of job creation.
But he didn't Massachusetts slips from 36 out of fifty in job creation to 47 manufacturing jobs declined by twice the national average.
He raise taxes on small businesses to raise taxes across the board by 750 million dollars that had a big impact on small business we're talking about an economic.
-- yeah you know we we've heard arguments on both sides were five days to go away in this in this race.
We're looking at where the president is spending his time right now Ohio Wisconsin Nevada Colorado you look at all of these states and where within the margin of error on all of them.
So what it what is the mood at the campaign right now.
Well I think it's very good in the one thing that isn't in intangible at this point are the early vote numbers in states like Iowa.
We're voters have been voting for weeks we're winning two to one against Mitt Romney to run a campaign says they have an intensity gap and certainly hasn't.
Showed up in the polls that presents heading to Wisconsin and Colorado Nevada today.
To make his closing argument we've made a lot of progress over the past four years.
Release an 800000 jobs a month when he came into office manufacturing.
Was in decline -- in the midst of foreclosure crisis and we've seen a lot of progress more than five -- Ten million jobs as a -- as it is certain that -- is closing argument is that we haven't gotten any change.
And that he wants to create a big change that is his closing argument as he goes out there races for years is enough.
-- we haven't seen the results and it's time to move on.
You know return to the failed economic policies of the past is not real change is propose more tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires we've tried that.
It didn't unleash job creation we -- -- oversight from polluters and Wall Street.
It was a financial house of cards that collapsed in 2008 we've been building the economy from the middle class out now it's time to restore economic -- and we're gonna happen.
Italy last and that's what the president would do kind of kind of -- break thanks for joining us just a few more days to -- thanks Martha CNN.

ClockApp-Designer - Wiki
About the Application#
This application is triggered on an http request to create an image of the current time and push a link of the image to the phone. It requires a location that is web accessible and writable from where your plugin is running to write an image file to. Two solutions to this are saving it to the MediaServer\Audio directory on the server and enabling Full Control sharing, or having a web accessible folder on your client.
Creating the Application Project#
1. Open the Designer and Create a new project. (File>New Project)
2. Create a project named "ClockApp_CUAD":
3. When creating a new project, the Designer will prompt you to name first script and to select a triggering event for that script. Our application will be triggered by a web browser to send an image to a phone. So select Http.GotRequest and click Ok.
Adding an Installer#
1. We want the user to be able to use custom parameters when running the application, so we need to add an installer. R-click on the project in the Explorer window and select Add Installer > New Installer.
2. Now that we've added the installer itself, we can add our parameters. Click on the installer in the Explorer window. We will need a phone IP address, the username and password of the end user associated with the phone, and the location of where to save the image. Add new variables by R-clicking on the installer canvas and selecting New. Create variables of the names phoneIP, username, password, and imgLocation. We can accept the default string format for all of these variables.
Creating the Global Variables#
1. Now we need to capture the installer parameters as global variables. Click on the script1 tab and add four new items by R-clicking on the Variables icon and selecting Add New Item four times. Name the variables g_phoneIP, g_username, g_password, and g_imgLocation.
2. Instantiate these variables by clicking on them and going to the Properties table. Under InitializeWith, select the corresponding configuration item from the drop-down menu.
Handling OnGotRequest#
The first thing we will need to do is create the image to send to the phone, which will require some custom C# code. Under Toolbox, find the Application Components section, and drag and drop the CustomCode action onto the designer canvas.
Expand the custom code option of the Properties table. Copy and paste in the following code, which will create an image with the time on it, and then save it to your specified image location:
public static void Execute(string g_imgLocation){ Draw image and set background Bitmap img = new Bitmap(298, 168); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img); g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Blue), new Rectangle(0, 0, 298, 168)); draw string Font f = new Font(new FontFamily("Arial"), 38); DateTime time = DateTime.Now; string s = DateTime.Now.Hour +":"; add two digit minute int minute = DateTime.Now.Minute; if(minute < 10) s = s +'0' +minute +":"; else s = s +minute +":"; add two digit second int second = DateTime.Now.Second; if(second < 10) s = s + '0' +second; else s = s +second; g.DrawString(s, f, new SolidBrush(Color.Red), new PointF(10, 10)); save image try{ img.Save(g_imgLocation); } catch(Exception e){ Console.WriteLine("Caught exception: " +e); } } }}}
Local Variables#
In addition to the global variables we have already defined, we are going to need local variables as well. R-click anywhere on the canvas and click the first option, Variable Tray.
Tip: The variable tray can be viewed by either R-clicking on the canvas and selecting "Variable Tray", or by going to View>Variable Tray. These actions will toggle the variable tray between being displayed and hidden.
R-click on the variable tray and select Add New Item.
Name your new item hostname.
In the Properties table of your new variable hostname, set InitializeWith to Hostname.
Now R-click on the variable tray again and add another variable. Name this one graphicFileMenuExe. In the Properties box, set the type to GraphicFileMenu (leave InitializeWith blank).
Now R-click on the variable tray again and add another variable. Name this one remotehost. In the Properties box, set InitializeWith to RemoteHost.
Now we want to add a graphic file menu. In the Toolbox, go to the Cisco IP Phone tab and drag and drop CreateGraphicFileMenu onto the canvas. To connect CustomCode to CreateGraphicFileMenu, move your cursor to the CustomCode icon. When your cursor approaches the center of the icon a 'dot' will appear in the center of the icon and your cursor will turn into a 'hand'. Once your cursor has become a 'hand', click and drag the cursor from the CustomCode action to the CreateGraphicFilMenu action. We will leave it as the default action to follow CustomCode.
Set the following variables in the CreateGraphicFileMenu Properties table:
Configure the URL property's value of CreateGraphicFileMenu action accessable by IPPhone.
E.g: "http://"hostname"/mceadmin/images/clockImg.png"
EndScript (from CreateGraphicFileMenu)#
If CreateGraphicFileMenu fails, then we want to end the script. Go to Application Components in the Toolbox and drag and drop an EndScript action onto the canvas. Connect it to CreateGraphicFileMenu and change the condition to Failure.
If CreateGraphicFileMenu is successful, then we want to send it to a phone. Go to CiscoIPPhone in the Toolbox and drag and drop a SendExecute canvas onto the canvas. Connect it to CreateGraphicFileMenu.
Set the following variable in the SendExecute Properties table:
We want to send a text response to the browser with the result of the application. Go to HTTP under the Toolbox and drag and drop two SendResponses onto the canvas. Set the condition of one to Failure and leave the other as default.
Set the Properties of the default SendResponse as follows:
Set the Properties of the Failure SendResponse as follows:
EndScript (from SendExecute)#
Once the response has been sent, our application is done. Go to Application Components in the Toolbox and drag and drop two EndScript actions onto the canvas. Connect one to each of the SendResponse actions.
Build & Deploy the Application#
Set Connectivity#
Prior to building and deploying the application, configure the "Connectivity" options between the CUAD and the CUAS. Select "Tools -> Options -> Connectivity" from the top menu and enter the IP address and username / password for the CUAE server, then save the change.
Build & Deploy#
To both build and deploy the application, select "Build -> Deploy" from the top menu (to Build without deploying, select "Build -> Build Project").
- The status of the build and deployment is displayed in the "Ouput" pane at the bottom of the CUAD.
- In the case that this is not you first deployment to the CUAE server you will be present with a pop-up prompt to select "Upgrade" or "Reinstall".
To view the status of the application in the CUAE Admin console. Log into the CUAE management console and select applications from the menu list.
Running the Application#
Setting Configurations#
Log into the CUAE management console and select applications. Click on ClockApp_CUAD from the list. Set the appropriate configuration items. You will want to enter the IP address of the phone to send the image to, the username and password of the end user associated with the phone, and the location to save the created image file to. For example, if you are saving the image locally on the server, enter "C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Unified Application Environment\mceadmin\public\images\clockImg.png". After setting the configuratiosn, click Apply.
Adding A Trigger#
- Select "Applications -> Find/List Triggers" to generate a list of applications and their associated triggers.
- Select the application "ClockApp_CUAD" in the list.
- Enter "url" and "/ClockApp_CUAD". Select Add Parameter.
Running the Application#
Trigger the application by entering
http://localhost:8000/ClockApp_CUADin a web browser.

NBA@2: Bobcats, Wizards Optimistic After Lottery
Posted By Alex Raskin On May 31, 2012 @ 2:06 pm In All,Main Page,NBA,NBA Draft | No Comments
The Charlotte Bobcats had a 25% chance of landing the top pick in Wednesday's NBA Draft Lottery, but the worst winning percentage in NBA history wasn't enough to earn the right to draft Kentucky's Anthony Davis.
Obviously the odds were stacked against Charlotte—just as they are against every team—but that wasn't any consolation to Bobcats general manager Rich Cho.
"From a competitive standpoint you want number one," Cho told HOOPSWORLD, "but we're going to get a really good player at number two."
Cho's right. Unlike some recent drafts, this one appears to have anywhere from four to seven major talents. Charlotte will likely be able to choose between highly coveted Connecticut center Andre Drummond, Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson and Kentucky swingman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist—any of whom would make a tremendous addition to a young team such as the Bobcats.
And while none of those names are as exciting as Davis', Cho shouldn't be embarrassed about introducing any of the aforementioned alternatives to the Bobcats fans.
"Well yeah, there are some very good players in this draft and with number two we will be able to control our own destiny from the number two picking backwards and we'll get a good player."
But to really appease the restless fan base, Cho will need to insert the right coach.
Patrick Ewing has already been informed he is no longer a candidate, and we might not know who Paul Silas' replacement will be until after the draft.
Essentially, Cho has the option of complementing his pick with a particular coach or pairing his new coach with a specific rookie.
"I think in an ideal world you'd want the coach in place but we want to make sure we pick the right coach so we're not going to rush it," he said. "Chances are we will have a coach in place before the draft but we're not on any strict timeline."
Cho admits that he will have to think about "how the pieces are going to fit," when making the second pick in June's draft, but insists the team will take the "best player available."
The good news for Bobcats fans is that not one or two, but three talented young players will get their first full training camp going into next season. That's a chance that Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo were denied because of the lockout of 2011.
"We're really excited about that," Cho said, referring to having Walker, Biyombo and a first-round pick in this year's camp. "Bismack, with the lockout, we couldn't work with the players obviously and Bismack had a contract situation in Spain so he really wasn't even in training camp and so I think the summer league and being able to work in the summer is going to help both of them a lot."
The Bobcats still have a long way to climb toward respectability, but Wednesday night was a step in the right direction—even if the result wasn't what Bobcats fans had in mind.
And how did the Wizards make out?
The Washington Wizards didn't have the same odds of landing the top pick that the Bobcats did. However, they did have the perfect partner for Anthony Davis in fellow Kentucky Wildcat John Wall.
The vision of Wall tossing alley-oop passes to Davis in transition was likely all Wizards fans could think off while the ping pong balls were bouncing away in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday night, but general manager Ernie Grunfeld still thinks the Wizards will be adding a tremendous player at the end of June.
"Obviously everybody wants to get the first pick but we feel good," he said. "We went back, we are three, we were supposed to be two so we're right about where we're supposed to be.
"I think every draft has groupings," he continued. "Obviously this draft probably has a clear cut number one and there's probably five or six players after that that could go anywhere from two to five or six depending on which team is picking and who has their choice. But we will be up there and we will get a very solid player to add to another piece to the puzzle for us."
And even though he can't pair Wall with Davis, Grunfeld will be sure to make sure whomever the Wizards take will be compatible with his star point guard.
"Well, I mean basketball is a team game," Grunfeld said. "Obviously John Wall is a big part of what we're doing but we want to get guys that complement John but also complement some of our other players. I'm excited about the process coming up. I'm excited to meet some of these players and get an opportunity to talk to them face to face and we'll have a real nice solid player for a long time."
So how close are the Wizards to narrowing down their "big board?"
"Obviously this is an ongoing process," he said. "We've had an opportunity to watch these players for the last year. Most of them were freshman, younger players up at the top anyway. But now we're going to get an opportunity to exactly have them into our facility. Chicago pre-draft camp is next week so we're going to get an opportunity to go there and talk to them in person and try to see what type of people they really are."
With Nene in the middle, Grunfeld doesn't have to pick Connecticut center Andre Drummond, unless he feels so inclined. Washington still has Andray Blatche and Rashard Lewis around (although, presumably, Grunfeld would want to deal Blatche for cap relief), so drafting a power forward isn't a necessity either.
Basically, Grunfeld has the luxury of deciding who fits best with Wall and simply going from there.
Jack Twyman passes away at 78
Former Cincinnati Bearcats and Cincinnati Royals center Jack Twyman passed away in the Queen City at 78, according to a report by the Associated Press.
Twyman, a hall of famer, averaged 31.2 ppg in 1959-1960 and appeared in six All-Star games before going to work as an NBA television analyst.
Twyman is perhaps best remembered for becoming the guardian of teammate Maurice Stokes, who was left paralyzed after hitting his head against the hardwood in the last game of the 1958 season.
Twyman not only cared for Stokes, but also put together an exhibition to raise money for his friend and teammate, which later became an NBA tradition.

finally built her! First post on TPU so Hi! Recently built: i5 3570K @ 4.5ghz H60 Cooler MSI Z77A-GD55 8GB Corsair Vengence Sapphire HD 7870 OC 128GB Samsung 830i 2TB Western Digital Non Modular PSU from last build (4 year old seasonic 600w one) 4 x 120mm front and rear intake Noctua Focused Flow Silent Fan 1 x 200mm top exhaust Ximbatek Silent Fan Antec Eleven Hundred. Really happy with the results given the cable tidy siuation. New PSU next! What do you think? Inside: Rear:
I thought so too. Every review saying how quiet the pump is and this I can hear even when listening to music with headset on. Completely unacceptable. Also the new firmware didn't fix the fan controller problems. And Link 2 software doesn't work on Windows 8. In fact, the driver for H100i crashes PC every once in a while. So yeah not very pleased with this product so far. Looks amazing, thats about it. More or less looks like they put a product on the market without proper testing. And now they are in big trouble.
thought id give you guys a foretaste of the ocular feast im cooking up!!! a 420mmX140 rad in the top and 2 280X140mm rads in the front..... this is fun.....
My newest project: Not the fastest system ever, but it's small & quiet, and with an i3, 8GB of RAM, and an 8800GTS 512 it's still very snappy
Had to go to the PC store to get some thermal paste, bought another DisplayPort cable at the same time, and finally got my 3x U2412M monitors in Eyefinity: BF3 on medium, 3600x1920, still getting ~60FPS. Pretty impressive for a single 7950.
Now, THAT is eyefinity. I saw this "way" of mounting monitors at one convention with Starcraft@ on it- much better in my opinion that the widescreen eyefinity- which I find perfect for racing games, but not much else out there. But this, this is the real deal
The only problem is that the screen is far too massive, and that leads to me actually having less viewing space within my natural field of vision. Performance was decent, and quite playable for sure, but I am back to one monitor this morning. And yeah, Portrait mode for FPS, landscape for racing. That means a "proper" Eyefinity setup needs to have monitors on arms that can spin easily... I merely put them that way as that is the only way they would fit on that desk. Bezels might bother some...was alright for me, but it does have an effect too, I'm sure.
Nice. I think if you could set up a 5 x 1 group in portrait mode that would be better, but I like a 3 x 1 to be in landscape mode. To me it's just more natural and it matches the natural field of vision better: peripheral vision is typically more side to side than up/down. Oh, and Dave, you can join us here.....
I have 3x 23-inch already. I did have 6 at one point. As good as Eyefinity can be, I don't think I am ready for it myself. I need a PC dedicated to gaming for that, and a PC for normal daily tasks. I currently enjoy 1920x1200 more than anything...I do have a 30-inch 3008WFP, too, I don't like that for gaming, either. What really amazes me, though, is that BF3 was more than playable.. and from the wall.. the entire rig, monitors and all, was at peak less than 400 W. Stereo included(stock clocks, obviously). I can't do normal stuff with those bezels though, it quite literally aggravates me. But to kick back and use STEAM's Big Picture, or racing...man...nothing is better.
Um, you don't? Double-stacked MOSFETS FTMFW, yo!!! MOAR POWA!!!! Colour is awesome, BTW, these IPS panels rock, and are even more impressive for multiples. Glad I only Paid $250 ea, seems like I stole them!!!!!
dropped in a mobo today, now i hafta make up my mind, 2700k or 3570k.....(own both) also have 32gb mushkin 1866 1.35v and 2 gtx 670 dcii cards w/EK blocks... would you go SBi7 or IBi5??? that switch 810 was FAR less w/c friendly (140mm based rads anyway) than i thought... had to do quite a bit of modding and dremel work to get them in there.... the biggest flaw i see with the Switch is NZXT's decision to put 20mm between the 140 fans on the top...kinda sucks... but the front didnt have that problem,,,standard 15mil spacing
New primary crunching rig. Moved the two HD 7770's out of my main rig (give the GTX 580's more room to breath). (Thanks to Cold Storm for a great deal on the i7 2700K and Crucial RAM) Besides the CPU and RAM - the cruncher consists of an ASUS P8Z68-V Z68, 3 x VisionTek HD 7770's, Dark Night cooler, and a Corsair CX750.

UP FOR AIR: Acanthostega, an early tetrapod, surfaces in a swamp in what is now eastern Greenland, some 360 million years ago. Although this animal had four legs, they would not have been able to support its body on land. Thus, rather than limbs evolving as an adaptation to life on land, it seems that they may have initially functioned to help the animal lift its head out of oxygen-poor water to breathe. Only later did they find use ashore.
Image: RA¿L MART¿N
In the almost four billion years since life on earth oozed into existence, evolution has generated some marvelous metamorphoses. One of the most spectacular is surely that which produced terrestrial creatures bearing limbs, fingers and toes from water-bound fish with fins. Today this group, the tetrapods, encompasses everything from birds and their dinosaur ancestors to lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs and mammals, including us. Some of these animals have modified or lost their limbs, but their common ancestor had them--two in front and two in back, where fins once flicked instead.
The replacement of fins with limbs was a crucial step in this transformation, but it was by no means the only one. As tetrapods ventured onto shore, they encountered challenges that no vertebrate had ever faced before--it was not just a matter of developing legs and walking away. Land is a radically different medium from water, and to conquer it, tetrapods had to evolve novel ways to breathe, hear, and contend with gravity--the list goes on. Once this extreme makeover reached completion, however, the land was theirs to exploit.
