By analyzing satellite images, oceanographers have found that small oil spills in the heavily drilled northern Gulf of Mexico are often much larger than reported. The researchers presented their results last week at the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystem Science Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Small oil spills — ranging from oil-drilling mishaps to ships discharging fuel — occur with surprising regularity, and tend to escape the public's attention that follows big spills. When someone spills petroleum or derived products in US waters, the accident must be reported to the US Coast Guard's National Response Center in Washington DC. Those who report such spills are required to provide their own estimates of the area affected.
The oceanographers, based at Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee, worked with SkyTruth in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, a non-profit organization that tracks oil spills and other events using mainly publicly available satellite images. The goal was to take a closer look at the chronic small spills by exploiting an FSU database of much higher resolution satellite images, obtained using a type of radar called synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which had been used to study slicks formed by natural oil seeps.
Slick sizing
After identifying images that showed accidental slicks, FSU graduate student Samira Daneshgar Asl analyzed the images with a program that uses telltale differences in water surface texture where oil is present to calculate slick areas. She found that the slicks with known human causes were typically about 13 times larger than the estimates reported to the National Response Center.
"There is very consistent underreporting of the magnitude of [oil] releases," says FSU team leader Ian MacDonald. "Sometimes it's quite laughable." On the positive side, he says that his team did find that the slicks had consistently been reported.
"It is not surprising that there are discrepancies" between the radar images and the assessments reported to the Coast Guard, says Emily Kennedy, a policy analyst at the American Petroleum Institute, an industry group in Washington DC. "Remote-sensing applications can be challenging, since they often provide false positives because of natural phenomenon like sea kelp." She notes that such images require a lot of "ground truthing" — confirming that the image shows a real slick by visiting the site, for example.
John Amos of SkyTruth says that, although there are conditions in which slicks that appear to be oil are not, this challenge is well understood and that the group was careful to weed out any suspect imagery. For additional cross-checking, MacDonald and his team have worked with On Wings of Care, a non-profit organization based in La Cañada Flintridge, California, that runs surveillance flights over the Gulf of Mexico to take photographs of some spills that they matched to slick samples collected by boat.
MacDonald says that companies face legal repercussions if the Coast Guard traces a spill to them and it hasn't been reported. However, he says, there seems to be no penalty for a wrong estimate. Under US law, companies are liable for fines that are proportional to the number of barrels spilled, but in the case of small spills, he says these fines are not generally pursued.
Amos says that although the environmental impacts of a single small spill are likely to be negligible, the cumulative effects of many small spills haven't been assessed because of the underreporting. He worries that a lack of scrutiny might fuel a culture of complacency. "That," says Amos, "can ultimately lead from small spills to big accidents."

My husband and I stayed at The Preston County Inn for the first part of our honeymoon. We loved it! The continental breakfast made it easy for us to... wake at our leisure. The staff were very easy-going and went above and beyond what we would have expected. Our stay there was extremely enjoyable. Access to restaurants, a hospital, and many historical sites are only a few of the benefits of The Preston County Inn. oleh Stephanie M. dari York, PA pada 09/08/2013

| Posted by David G. | (St Clair Shores, MI)Installed the rear seat protector that matches the canine cover we use in our new Buick LaCrosse, and the fit and quality are just as exceptional as the seat cover. The straps go around the front seat headrests (just like the rear seat cover) to securely hold the unit in place, and the protector forms a great barrier between the rear "dog area" and the front seats. The protector attaches to the rear seat cover by velcro and extends down to cover the rear seat footwell area, providing complete protection. I highly recommend this seat protector as the perfect compliment to the Canine Seat Cover.

Top 5 Free Agent Bargains
Posted By Joel Brigham On July 9, 2012 @ 12:00 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
We've heard a lot about teams overspending on free agents over the course of the last week or so, but mostly because that's what grabs the headlines. It's easy for us to say that Nicolas Batum doesn't deserve $45 million, for example, or that no general manager in his right mind would match a three-year, $25 million offer sheet for Omer Asik.
But there really have been some good deals agreed to since July 1st, particularly from the perspective of the teams making them. In fact, some of them could actually be considered bargains. Here are the best free agency agreements of the season so far:
Honorable Mention:
Jamal Crawford, L.A. Clippers, 3 years, $15.7 million – This one's hard to gauge because there are also reports that the deal is for four years and $25 million, and an extra year plus an extra $9.3 million for a 32-year-old shooting guard isn't quite the same value as the numbers in bold font above. But a little over $5 million a season is just as good a bargain this summer as it was last summer, when the Blazers nailed him down for a two-year, $10 million contract that included the player option allowing Crawford to test free agency again this summer. He averaged 13.9 points last season in only 26.9 minutes a night, but he should see an expanded role with the Clippers, where he's expected to start. You wouldn't get a much better talent for that kind of cash.
Jason Terry, Boston Celtics, 3 years, $15.6 million – While it hurts to lose Ray Allen, at least Boston is getting a serviceable guard at a reasonable price to come in and take his place. Terry averaged 15.1 points last season in Dallas as a sixth man, and that should go a long ways towards filling the Allen-sized hold left behind at the two guard spot. He'll still come off the bench as long as Avery Bradley's healthy, but for just a little over $5 million a year, he's exactly what the team needed if they were going to lose Allen.
Jason Kidd, New York Knicks, 3 years, $9 million – Kidd is the oldest player in the league, and he's nowhere near as good a player as he used to be. But for $3 million a year, he can mentor Jeremy Lin and bring stability to the Knicks' locker room. Those seem like reasonable services for the price.
Andre Miller, Denver Nuggets, 3 years, $9 million – There is no reason to believe that Miller's role as a backup to Ty Lawson will change next season in Denver, but considering he averaged 9.7 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.3 rebounds in only a little over 27 minutes a night, he's easily worth the money he was given. His wasn't a splashy signing, but as far as value is concerned, the Nuggets should get a reasonable return on their investment the next few seasons.
The Top Five:
#5 – Mirza Teletovic, Brooklyn Nets, 3 years, $9 million – Considering Brooklyn was reportedly ready to offer Teletovic an extra $6 million over the life of his contract before realizing that would mean they couldn't even try to acquire Dwight Howard, this one has to be considered a bargain. Teletovic has been one of the stars of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague the last couple of seasons, averaging 22 points and 6 rebounds per game last season, and now he'll bring that talent to Brooklyn for what really amounts to a pretty paltry sum. We don't know yet how his game will translate to the NBA, but for $3 million a season, I'll call that a fair gamble.
#4 – Nick Young, Philadelphia 76ers, 1 year, $6 million – If you factor in the Elton Brand amnesty dollars required to make this deal happen, then Young probably ended up costing the Sixers quite a bit more than $6 million to acquire. But Philly might have cut Brand loose, anyway, and looking at this deal in a vacuum, it's a pretty good one. No one can really ever call a one-year deal completely awful, especially at that dollar amount, but Young averaged 16.6 points in Washington last season before seeing his minutes drop after a trade to the Clippers. The year before, he averaged a career-high 17.4 points, so this is obviously a kid on the up-and-up just looking for the right opportunity. He'll get it in Philly, and for $6 million, the results should be good for everybody.
#3 – Brandon Roy, Minnesota Timberwolves, 2 years, $10 million – Nobody has any idea what Brandon Roy has left in his tank at this point, but considering he is a former All-Star that just took a year off to rest his knees, this deal was low-risk, high-reward. I imagine they'll use Roy relatively sparingly to save his legs for the postseason, but just having a guy like that on your roster is worth the $5 million all by itself. He'll bring confidence and experience to a T-Pups team that really needs it, and if he ends up being even 60% of what he was in his prime, he'll way out-earn his paltry contract amount.
#2 – Steve Nash, L.A. Lakers, 3 years, $27 million – Nash is the most expensive guy on this list at $9 million a year, but Toronto set the market value for him by offering him those same three years at $36 million. So the fact that L.A. ended up with him for $9 million less than the market dictated is a steal, especially for a game-changer like Nash. Kevin Garnett, another older player looking for the last deal of his career, got over $11 million a season from the Celtics, and Tim Duncan is likely to get something similar from San Antonio. At $9 million, Nash came at 25% off, and that's a coupon any team would love to cash in for a two-time MVP starting point guard.
#1 – Ray Allen, Miami HEAT, 3 years, $9 million – Ray Allen is the best three-point shooter of all time, and however you feel about him skipping town in Boston to play with the defending champion Miami HEAT, you can't deny the fact that $3 million a season for Allen—even at ages 37, 38, and 39—is a steal. He's not as athletic as he used to be, and he's seriously slowed down when it comes to attacking the basket, but when it comes to knocking down open corner threes he may be the best the league has ever seen. The man is a professional, and there's a reason Boston was willing to double Miami's offer to try and keep him in Beantown. Allen took less for a shot at a ring, though, and that means a great free agent value for the HEAT.
All of these deals have been agreed to, but not signed, thanks to the moratorium that gets lifted at 12:01am on July 11th. Many other free agents will sign with teams after the big dominoes officially begin to topple, and as payrolls fill up we'll see some bargains start popping up because there will be too many good players left in the free agent pool and not enough money to sign them all to big dollars.
So keep your eyes peeled for more free agency steals; they're on their way. In the meantime, soak these up, and braces yourselves for the second wave of signings likely to occur once players start signing dotted lines.

Market Snapshot for September 23, 2011 (10:00 pm ET):
- Closing Prices: DOW 10,771.48 (+37.65, +0.35%),S&P 500 1,136.43 (+6.87, +0.61%), NASDAQ 2,483.23 (+27,56, +1.12%), Nikkei 225 8,560.26 (-180.90, -2.07), DAX 5,166.56 (+32.35, +0.63%), FTSE 5,066.81 (+25.20, 0.05%)
Commodity Collapse Continues
This past week was a rough one for the markets, but particularly for precious metals. The indices were on unsteady feet as the week began, teetering at daily resistance with the latest FOMC meeting on the near horizon. It was the Fed's announcement on Wednesday afternoon that finally tipped the scale. The precious metals, however, were already moving lower for the month and had only paused as the market rallied the previous week. When the Fed stated that it continued to foresee significant economic weakness and concerns regarding the larger global economy, the selloff escalated. Even China's economy has shown signs of contraction, while Greece has inched even closer to defaulting on its debt.
Silver took one of the greatest beatings, losing about a quarter of its value over just a couple of days. Meanwhile, gold shed about 9% for the week. There is no rapid recovery likely on the horizon, although the selling pressure should begin to abate this week. The U.S. dollar has once again become somewhat of a safe haven as investors make the move to cash. It hit a seven-month high this past week.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Figure 1)
A Hot Mess
On Friday the market took a breather from Wednesday and Thursday's plunge, but the Dow Jones Ind. Average ($DJI) still ended the week lower by 6.4%, which was the largest one week loss since October, 2008 (although that week was substantially worse with a loss of over 18%). The pace of the week's selloff was the strongest following the Fed and slowed on Thursday, but the magnitude did not diminish.
The selling pressure had resumed late Wednesday evening in the index futures and remained steady throughout most of Thursday after pausing following Wednesday's close. It only let up in the final thirty minutes of trade on Thursday, but the pace of the reprieve slowed afterhours and set the stage for another sharp decline into early Friday morning. This created a type of double bottom known as a "2B" whereby the second low on the 15 minute time frame slightly breeched Thursday's low to create bear trap. This helped the market recover into Friday afternoon and trim the week's losses, but it wasn't enough to elicit any strong sighs of relief and Friday's session was mixed.
S&P 500 (Figure 2)
Index Results
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) ended the day on Friday with a gain of 37.65 points, or 0.35%, and closed at 10,771.48.After the extreme losses experienced earlier in the week, nearly two-thirds of the Dow managed to post a gain on Friday as market participants repositioned themselves ahead of the weekend. The top performers were Bank of America (BAC) (+4.13%), Intel (INTC) (+2.55%), Home Depot (HD) (+2.03%), and Cisco Systems (CSCO) (+1.83%). The weakest were DuPont (DD) (-2.86%) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) (-2.11%). The Dow's outcome for the week as a whole was a loss of 6.41%.
The S&P 500 ($SPX) gain of 6.87 points, or 0.61%, and closed at 1,136.43. The top percentage performers in the index were Hospira Inc. (HSP) (+8.62%), Gannett Inc. (GCI) (+6.32%), Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) (+5.65%), and Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) (+5.65%). The weakest performers were Range Res. Corp. (RRC) (-11.45%), Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) (-5.58%), EQT Corp. (EQT) (-4.09%), and EOG Res. Inc. (ROG) (-3.95%). The S&P 500 ended the week lower by 6.54%.
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session lower by 27.56 points, or 1.12%, on Friday and it closed at 2,483.23. The top gainers in the Nasdaq-100 ($NDX) were CTrip.com Intl. (CTRP) (+6.42%), Yahoo (YHOO) (+5.15%), First Solar (FSLR) (+5.07%), and Marvell Tech. (MRVL) (+5.01%). The weakest were Express Scripts (ESRX) (-1.98%), Illumina Inc. (ILMN) (-1.81%), and Mattel Inc. (MAT) (-1.80%). The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) fell 5.3% for the week.
Nasdaq Composite (Figure 3)
Although Friday's action was not the most favorable, it does offer some hope for short-term bulls. The 2B that trapped bears early Friday morning is also a pattern that tends to help stabilize market selloffs. In some cases it can lead to a rapid recovery, whereas in others the typical recourse is a gradual trading channel with a slight upside path that is usually followed by another round of selling once the channel breaks. The second low on the 15 minute charts at the end of the week took place with a momentum move that was stronger than Thursday's selloff. This favors the more gradual corrective scenario as opposed to a rapid recovery, but it can still mean rapid intraday sprints on the upside that can be very favorable to daytraders. It is not, however, typically a strong price development for swingtraders who look to capitalize on multi-day trend moves since a slower and wider trading channel generally means wider stops with less reward potential.
Unless otherwise stated, the index action described in this article relates to the E-mini futures contracts for the respective indices. Actual index action may differ slightly in terms of pattern formation, although the market bias will remain the same.

Prophecy - DVD
This schlock horror classic from the 1970s is a product of the career ebb experienced by director John Frankenheimer. Robert Foxworth stars as Dr. Robert Verne, an inner-city physician renowned for his compassion and fairness. So he's asked by the EPA to mediate a dispute between Native American tribes and a polluting paper mill in isolated northern Maine. Accompanied by his pregnant wife Maggie (Talia Shire), a classical musician, Robert journeys to the deep woods, where he meets the tribal leader, John Hawks (Armand Assante) and a representative of the mill, Mr. Isley (Richard Dysart). It turns out that the mill is indeed poisoning the local water supply with mercury, causing illness among tribe members and some mutated local wildlife. The Native Americans and the paper mill point fingers at each other for a rash of recent disappearances in the area, but Robert believes that something more ominous is responsible when he observes a huge salmon eat a duck. He's proved right when he encounters an enormous, mutated grizzly bear with a taste for human flesh. Unfortunately for Robert and Maggie, he has taken one of the creature's cubs back to camp, leading an angry mother bear to his tent flap. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

oh gosh, its rant time.
i saw that earlier this month, and i can't be the only one who was highly disappointed. i mean... yah, its a comedy series and most episodes are around 5-7 minutes long so there isn't much experience when it comes to full-length works... but... still....
the plot was dull, i only laughed occasionally, and, although the ending was sorta cute, it made no faulking sense whatsoever.
i know, i know... this is freaking Hetalia. it doesn't aim to make any gottdamn sense; while this approach works well with the short, usually culturally or historically based episodes (giving them at least some cred), the movie was just one hot mess.
I think it would've been a lot better if the movie had some parallel or correlation with history, like the rest of the series, and wasn't just a lazily animated (seriously. like a quarter of everything in that movie was just freaking white with black outlines. seems more like an excuse to make a full-length picture without too much effort, rather than part of the plot) comedy attempting to look like it has some sort of suspense.

<--- Adorable.
Just some WMG (Wild Mass Guessing, i.e. fan-theories) food for thought (not mine):
Canada is the reason America is scared of ghosts
Canada borrows something and America thinks it's vanished. Canada puts something back in the wrong place and America thinks it moved on its own. Canada tries to talk to America and America hears mysterious whispering noises. Despite being barely visible, Canada successfully emotionally scared his brother.
Some WMG of my own:
That island everyone ends up getting stranded on is Seccheyles (or however the eff you spell that).
Possibly confirmed in ep 100 too!
New Zealand is female.
You gotta admit that the sketches look pretty feminine... though for this series, that isn't saying much. Also, NZ was the first country to allow women to vote! Isn't that snazzy?
Norway is also female.
Yah, I know Himaruya has pretty much confirmed Norway as male... but... there's still hope! I just can't shake his/her femininity from my headcannon! And just because someone is referred to with male pronouns doesn't make them male, same goes with female. I still think its possible that Norway's just a really flat girl. (I do accept/like China as male though. Seriously. He looks male enough to me)
--any of you have your own Hetalia WMG you wanna share?--
Lol Poland is stupid XD

NBA PM: EA, 2K Bidding for Jeremy Lin?
Video games have evolved into the perfect barometer for popularity in the world of sports. Where once, Larry Bird and Julius Erving stood together on the cover of a low-tech, one-on-one simulator without any controversy, now the media scrutinizes the practice like it's the September issue of Vogue. Is he big enough to be on the cover? Will he appeal to young fans?
The removal of John Madden from the cover of his popular Electronic Arts NFL game set the "Madden" franchise apart and quickly put the debate in the hands of fans, media and seemingly everyone else. A year ago the franchise put it to a fan vote, which resulted in previously unheralded Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis landing the honor (he responded with a disappointing 10-game, 587-yard, three-touchdown season, which further supported the belief in the "Madden curse").
Basketball has had its own cover drama as well. Without any guarantee of a 2011-2012 NBA Season, 2K Sports decided not to put a current NBA player on the cover of its latest edition of its licensed basketball game, instead opting to put a choice of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan on the front.
But now that the NBA lockout has ended, 2K Sports has to search for the next big name to put on their cover. Fans have already formed opinions about current NBA legends like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, so software companies try to avoid that could potentially generate negative feelings. Unless a company is choosing to sell different covers to different regions (James to Floridians, Bryant to Californians, etc.) the best bet is to catch a budding star on the upswing of his career—someone who fans can admire, or better yet, identify with.
Enter New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin.
The breakout star is helping to erase the NBA's tattered image following the lockout and he has tremendously broad appeal with most NBA fans. In addition to being young (at 23, he's within 10 years of most gamers), Lin is a Christian icon who connects with America's growing Asian population. He's also playing in America's largest media market (New York) and could save a software company from paying multiple big-name stars, which is what would happen if they sold covers regionally.
The good news for Lin—and fans of Lin—is that Electronic Arts is going back to the licensed NBA video games next season. The software giant has taken a hiatus from the NBA while allowing Take-Two Interactive (the maker of 2K Sports) to corner the market. Now, with Lin as the prize, the two companies could be going head to head once again.
"I would bet both Take-Two Interactive and Electronic Arts go after Lin," Wedbush Morgan Securities videogame analyst Michael Pachter told Forbes' John Gaudiosi. "Take-Two is in New York, so they are living through the hype. He's a great story, and will boost sales of either game, so I expect that there will be a bidding war for him. As the de facto market leader, Take-Two has more to lose, and as the new entrant, EA has more to gain. It will be interesting."
One would think that Lin's presence on the cover of a video game would get the biggest reaction out of Asian markets, but Pacther wasn't so sure.
"I don't see huge a sales bump (presumably that was supposed to be 'a huge sales bump') in Asia, as the installed base of consoles in China is nil, and Lin is not Japanese, so a large installed base there won't help much," Pacther explained. "But sales in other regions will benefit, perhaps by a couple of hundred thousand units."
And at over $50 per game, a swing over a hundred thousand units could mean a difference of $5 million.
Of course, for Lin to capitalize on the growing video game market, he'll have to sustain his 35.5 MPG, 22.5 PPG, 8.5 APG month-of-February statistics. The Knicks are 8-2 since he's taken over as a starter and now that J.R. Smith and Baron Davis are on board, the team finally has enough depth for a serious postseason run. Some big moments in April, May and maybe (gasp) June would ensure Lin gets several significant endorsement offers this offseason to go along with the new contract he'll be getting as a free agent.
Is Beaubois Really on the Market?
As mentioned in the NBA AM by Steve Kyler, ESPN.com's Chris Broussard got the trade winds blowing this morning by releasing a few rumors—one of which certainly stood out to Dallas Mavericks fans.
"Sources say Dallas is ready to move on from the Roddy Beaubois experiment. The Mavericks have thought for years that the talented young Frenchman could be another Tony Parker, but he has not been able to master the move from shooting guard to point guard. Nor has he been able to fill the void left by J.J. Barea. If they don't move him before this year's deadline, he could be gone over the summer."
Still only 23, Beaubois' future with the Mavericks might not actually be in jeopardy. He can get into the lane where he punishes opponents for fouling him (85.7% from the line this year) and has always been a surprisingly good rebounder for his height (at 6-2, he's rebounded 8.5% of missed shots while he's on the floor this season). He's also capable of defending point guards, which makes him a necessary compliment to someone like Jason Kidd, who has trouble keeping up with younger, faster players.
While he may be taking awhile to develop as a point guard, Beaubois still has the support of some high-level executives in Dallas' personnel department. Yes, Beaubois was getting less that 20 MPG before leaving the team to mourn for the death of his father, but if the Mavericks don't re-sign Jason Terry this offseason (which they can't afford to do if they're making a run at Deron Williams), then Beaubois suddenly fits into their plans nicely.
Hanging Tough
Nets swingman DeShawn Steveson has to ice down his knees before and after games. Now in his 12th NBA season, the 30-year-old defensive ace admittedly can't move like he once did and because of that, he's been defending more small forwards than shooting guards.
Of course, at 6-5 (supposedly), Stevenson is giving up a few inches in height and wingspan to whomever he defends at the small forward position.
The bottom line is, nothing comes easily for Stevenson, and ultimately, that's what makes him an effective NBA player.
Stevenson gave a good example of what he still brings to the table on Monday night against the Knicks. Defending Carmelo Anthony in his return from a groin injury, Stevenson induced a stupid offensive foul from the All-Star simply by out-positioning him in the post.
"I know Carmelo likes to get into the post," Stevenson told HOOPSWORLD. "It goes both ways. You can't hold a person off. I had my hands up. The next play, he got me with a pump fake."
Anthony did induce a foul on Stevenson, as he mentioned, on the ensuing possession. However, those things are an acceptable consequence of playing as physically as Stevenson, who's defended some of the NBA's best during his underrated career.
"That's what I do," he said. "I go out there and try to get people (distracted) and that's why I've been in the league for 12 years."
Now the Nets are routinely criticized for being a last-place team, but they've won two of their last three games and they're getting last year's leading scorer, Brook Lopez, back from foot surgery incrementally (Lopez returned Sunday, sat Monday and will play again on Wednesday against Orlando). If they can win around 20 of their final 32 games, the Nets will have an outside shot at the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
That sounds improbable, but for a team that's finally returning to health, it's something worth playing for.
"We just got to keep playing like this," Stevenson said. "We did this against Chicago and then laid an egg against… the Bucks. If we stay focus and do the right things, I think we have a good team. If we have Lopez back that's even better."
As for Stevenson himself, he says his knees are starting to feel better, which is finally allowing him to contribute to this team.
"Starting to get into a rhythm now," he said. "I was out with the knees and I got my knees worked on. It's a struggle for each game but I feel better. I'm icing them. I'm getting more in rhythm more comfortable with the offense."
Stevenson looked comfortable against the Knicks on Monday, making 3 of 7 3-point attempts and finishing with 11 points.

The bad thing is that all the cable management I just did will have to be redone. I bought longer SATA cables about a week ago, I guess I'll wait until they get here to do it.
nah, I like the looks of my case. Besides what's the fun of cable management if your case makes it easy for you? I'm thinking on a few mods for my case. I saw that Scythe has 120x120x12 fans and I think that I could mount a couple at the bottom of the case (the case has a 2cm clearance from the bottom thanks to the server style feet). I'm also considering installing a 140mm fan at the top to replace the current 120mm one. That'll allow me to make a bigger hole and make it look nicer. I really didn't have any experience when I did this: I could also paint the internals black but that'll have to wait a while as I'm going to buy some hardware to turn my previous rig into an HTPC, only thing left is a case but HTPC cases are quite expensive I guess a regular desktop case should be fine but I need one with a hidden 5.25" bay.
for someone that's had no experience cutting holes in cases as you put it you've done a fairly descent job of it and trust me when I say I've seen some really bad blow hole jobs with jagged edges and bits stickin out just waiting for an unsuspecting finger
Gone ITX for the first time. Took ages to make everything fit but glad it worked out well. It's the stuff in my system specs now. Blurrycam:
Wireless antennae w/ red plastic covers. Looks like the board I reviewed here: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/Z68-ITX_WIFI/ What PSU did you use, KieX? I see no cables!!
Cadaveca answered that one Yup it's the same board. The PSU is the bog standard one that comes with the SG07. I just bunched up the cables with cable ties and hid them in a small gap behind the graphics card, below the optical. Little brute force was needed, but everything seems to be getting power properly. Options for overclocking are very limited, but think i'll aim for a 4GHz with powersave features on.
The sugo seems to be pretty popular, i've been wanting to do an itx build for a long time now. nice build!
You haven't seen my desk, have you? Space is in a premium, and my desk is huge. Doesn't ahve to be LAN-party-only!

Hurricane Sandy is set to blow Obama and Romney campaigns right off course - Election will take a back seat to "perfect storm" as it blows in

Hurricane Sandy |
Hurricane Sandy is barreling up the East Coast as I write and it is surely an unexpected nightmare for both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
They had probably prepared for every eventuality this last full week of campaigning and thought long and hard of every possible new wrinkle in a close fought race.
Except for a hurricane barreling up the East Coast sending everyone fleeing coastal areas like rats.
Just imagine if it had hit a week later and interfered with voting in the presidential election?
(And whose idea was it anyway to have elections in November right on the shoulder of bad weather season?)
How will President Obama and Mitt Romney play it? It seems to offer both men a poisoned chalice.
Sure Obama can look presidential and comforter in chief when the storm hits and he will almost certainly visit a disaster areas in its aftermath.
But he has to be extremely careful not to play politics overtly with a possible tragedy.
Remember George Bush and his disastrous reaction to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, which dogged his presidency forever?
In addition, if early voting is hit in states that are toss ups that are in the path of the storm, it will disproportionately affect his voters who have been winning the early voting turnout.
For Mitt Romney, who had been experiencing a boost in recent national polls but still trails in key battlegrounds, the storm could have the effect freezing the race for the length of the storm.
He also knows it also gives his opponent the opportunity to look presidential and Obama has impressed on such occasions like in the aftermath of the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords.
So neither man will be happy with the weather Gods for throwing one yet more unpredictable X factor into the final week of campaigning. But that's what they face.

A storm like this is an almost inevitable tragedy for all concerned, but should serve as the clincher in a close election for the candidate who has spent his entire career working for the welfare of localities and who won't recall the disastrous presidential inaction and non-leadership of FEMA following Katrina. Put aside the partisan sniping from both sides and watch how a good president becomes a great president in moments if well handled crisis.

I've been opining that a teacher would grade President Obama as intelligent but doesn't work well with others. Neera Tanden, Obama's Domestic Policy Advisor for his first campaign seems to agree with that in comments she was given credit for in a story for New York Magazine:
Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obama's term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. "People say the reason Obama wouldn't call Clinton is because he doesn't like him," observes Tanden. "The truth is, Obama doesn't call anyone, and he's not close to almost anyone. It's stunning that he's in politics, because he really doesn't like people. My analogy is that it's like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers."
Maybe that's why he doesn't get things done with Congress, if you don't like people and don't call them there is nothing discussed and compromised on.

Hooligan6a; With your fantastically buoyant attitude you should make for Port and stand for President yourself. Failing that, you could act as literary bodyguard to out besieged Editor and for good measure, you can scupper your sailboat; using the testicular-obsessed Batty BippyBellito as ballast!

This storm will allow the Coward Obama to once again lead from behind. He's the one hiding under his bed. What an incredibly weak and disappointimg "man". The only ones in his administration with any testicular character are the females. For ANY Man to support Obama is in itself UnManLY.

I think Obama should be worrying about the Benghazi cover up in Libya and should honestly resign; never mind campaigning! He's a disgrace to the presidency and to the American people! and yes, Niall; you should really know why the elections are held in November... FGS!!!! You really baffle me most of the time, if not all of the time!!!

Good Grief, Niall, you should have learned why US elections are held in November i your Citizenship classes. (Are you a US citizen, yet? I do not know. If you aren't you will learn that when you take your classes.) Briefly: the date of the presidential elections were determined by individual states in the 1800s. Federal law indicated that the electors for the electoral college were to meet in the individual states on the first Wednesday of December. And according to a 1792 federal law, the elections in the states (which would choose the electors) had to be held within a 34-day period before that day. So, November was the logical choice. It especially worked in our agrarian society of the 1800s. The harvest was concluded and the harshest of winter weather had not arrived, but then the train and telegraph came! With each state having a slightly different date for the presidential election, people could easily travel from one state to another and vote in different elections to influence the outcome of the federal election (Don't forget the Irish slogan in American elections "Vote early, vote often, vote Irish!" You will learn that one in citizenship classes.) If people were not so unscrupulous as to travel form place to place voting in different states, just hearing, by telegraph, how another state voted in the presidential election could influence the outcome in other states (the same has been seen with television in the last 30 years). So, in the early 1840s Congress decided to make a standardized date for holding presidential elections across the country. So, as of today and for many decades previous, Federal law in the United States requires that the presidential election be held every four years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. To answer your question, it was the idea of the United States congress "to have elections in November right on the shoulder of bad weather season."

Gibb and Patterson advance to the second round Saturday morning against Jon Mesko and Bill Strickland.
"I played awful, but my partner played like a stud," said Gibb, who played in the 2008 and 2012 Oympics with former partner Sean Rosenthal. "He carried us to a win. It was a tough first round match, but we're super stoked to get through.
Hundreds of fans lined the court to get a look at the local star.
"This is home," said Gibb. "I started playing here 20 years ago, so I'm stoked to be home. It's awesome."
On the women's side, each of the top eight all teams advanced to Saturday in the winner's bracket including three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings and her partner Whitney Pavlik who defeated Utah natives and cousins Airial Sprague and Brenda Whicker. Sprague and Whicker were defeated in their second match of the day, ending their Salt Lake City Open bid in the double-elimination tournament.
Three of the eight teams that earned berths in the main draw tournament through Thursday's open qualifier delivered winning performances on the first day of main draw competition, upsetting their higher seeded opponents for a spot in Saturday's winner's bracket, including the twelfth-seeded team of Andrey Belov and Adam Roberts, who upset fifth seeded team of Billy Allen and Braidy Halverson.
