Review: Sparkle Calibre P790+ 512 MB SLI -
Page 13
Overclocking & Tweaking
As most of you with most videocards know, you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. You can do this at two levels, namely tweaking by enabling registry or BIOS hacks, or very simple, tamper with Image Quality. And then there is overclocking, which will give you the best possible results by far.
What do we need?
One of the best tool for overclocking NVIDIA and ATI videocards is our own Rivatuner that you can download here. If you own an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card then the manufacturer actually has very nice built in options for you that can be found in the display driver properties.
Where should we go ?
Overclocking: By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second. It sounds hard but it really can be done in less then a few minutes. I always tend to recommend to novice users and beginners not to increase the frequency any higher then 5% of the core and memory clock. Example: If your card runs at 500 MHz (which is pretty common these days) then I suggest you don't increase the frequency any higher than 25 to 50 MHz.
More advanced users push the frequency often way higher. Usually when your 3D graphics start to show artifacts such as white dots ("snow"), you should back down 10-15 MHz and leave it at that.
Usually when you are overclocking too hard, it'll start to show artifacts, empty polygons or it will even freeze. Carefully find that limit and then back down at least 20 MHz from the moment you notice an artifact. Look carefully and observe well. I really wouldn't know why you need to overclock today's tested card anyway but we'll show it still ;)All in all... do it at your own risk.
Sparkle GeForce 7900 GT Calibre P790+ |
So the
card already comes with default higher clocks compared to reference. And yes, less you can boost it even higher. The core was hardly overclockable but the memory .. yowza ... 1680 MHz !! We even tested this overclock in SLI mode. Have a look below what'll happen.
Our overclock scores were very impressive. You are looking at Prey at 4xAA and 16xAF.
Sidenote: Our overclocking results are never a guarantee for your home grown results. Manufacturers' choices in components differ often per batch and so will the end-result. This however is a good indication of what is (or isn't) possible.
We review a USB 3.1 motherboard from ASUS alongside a Samsung 840 EVO RAID SSD based storage unit that is USB 3.1 compatible. Recently we have tested USB 3.0 SSDs from Samsung (the T1) and that perfor...
review: Vantec NexStar LX NAS
It's not often we publish reviews on storage devices but a while ago Vantec contacted us with the question if we wanted to review their latest NAS device. I had a peek, it looked sexy, ease of use and good connectivity. Suffice to say that today we'll be having a look at the NexStarLS where you can insert a Parallel HD into a little white or black box and then majestically transform it into a Network Storage Device, so that no matter where you are, you can always access your data as it's quite a portable device and so easy to use.
Review: BFG GeForce 7600 GT & 7900 GT OC
BFG manufactures the GeForce 7600 GT and 7900 GT but as trendy as it is ... they brand it as a special "OC" version. These are the pre-clocked (at default higher clocked then the reference cards from NVIDIA) on both the memory and graphics processor. So today we are looking at the BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC and also their GeForce 7900 GT OC. Both cards come with 256 MB memory and both cards produce a stack load of performance for your well spent bucks.
Review: Sparkle Calibre P790+ 512 MB SLI
Sparkle has their usual line of cards and then their Calibre line of cards as well. Much like other companies the Calibre series is slightly more expensive yet you'll receive some pretty nifty extra candy. In the case of the GeForce 7900 GT they are offering a 790 and 790+ model of this videocard and we'll be looking at that P790+ model.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.42 / 5.00 2,877 ViewsIt's been way too long since I've posted anything. This is was just a cartoon I started a long time ago and never got around to finishing. Hope you like it. Stop by and visit my site:
www.optichouse.com -- Correction!! - The music from the end of the cartoon is "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff. Part of a larger musical piece called "carmina burana" (thank Ian S. for catching my mistake)
- I just wanted to add a thank you to everyone that gave this cartoon positve reviews. Even though I worked really hard on it, I only expected a few "good jobs" and "you suck" responses. Knowing that people dig what I'm working on makes it all worth while. Thanks.
could have been better
i like the fact that the whole school is destroyed but there wasnt any blood at all fhow coul dthat happen
The robot drank all of the children's blood, of course
Half and half
It was okay. But it's not one of my favourites. It's half shit and half good.
Speach less
I neva thort such basic animation would be that good!
Thanks. I appreciate it. I think it's actually easier to do animation w/ simple elements (visually/story) than things overly complex.
It was okay, the graphics and everything were great. It's just that i think it could have been more interesting, or a little funnier.

From Marc J. Spears at Yahoo! Sports:
"The Los Angeles Clippers have brought back former interim coach Kim Hughes to work for the franchise a week after firing him, an NBA source told Yahoo! Sports.
The Clippers announced April 17 that Hughes was relieved of his duties as coach and that the franchise was beginning its search for a replacement. This week, the Clippers asked Hughes to return to help with the draft and take part in player development. Hughes was back working out players in the team's practice facility Wednesday. He remains under contract through June 30, but has yet to sign a new deal.
Though Dallas Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey and Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown are considered to be atop the Clippers' wish list, Hughes also was told he would receive some consideration for the job. The Clippers informed Hughes they'd like for him to remain with the franchise in some capacity, even if, as expected, he doesn't get the coaching job.
Hughes took over as interim coach for Mike Dunleavy on Feb. 4 after serving seven seasons as an assistant. The Clippers went 8-25 under him."

Rich Asians Will Save Us All
- Posted by DynamicHedge
- on May 23rd, 2012
This post deserves much more attention but I'm working under some heavy time constraints this week.
Germany has reiterated their stance euro-bonds by issuing a firm NO despite recommendations from the IMF and OECD. Something could change but besides a certain rich Asian "saving" nation stepping in or Greece being made an honorary gulf state it's not looking good.
Despite posturing of those claiming to know what's going on there's NO WAY to get a logical read on a a crisis like this. The best you can do is draw a line in the sand. My thesis of the Bernanke pattern still holds. Yes, volatility has intensified but I've reviewed the data and can't find much else that fits. This may not a reason to get super bullish (yet) but it is enough reason for me not to get caught up in any apocalypse talk. That said, anything can happen so use the $SSEC as your barometer.
The Shanghai composite is much more sensitive than the $SPX lately and one of the world indices not making new lows. It has previously been an excellent tell on the $SPX and should give you a days worth of warning if the situation in Europe starts to deteriorate further. If you're bullish, pick your swing low ($2344 or $2252) and use that as your pivot for the summer months. If the $2344 area holds on the $SSEC, the $SPX could very well swallow the bears whole and make new highs. If both pivots break we are in for some history making and all bets are off.

Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on DDD at TheTechTrader site noting: 3D Systems Corp. (DDD) is one of the 3D group that has really bombed of late, to say the least. It was on our short list for a long time. On Wednesday, jumped 1.77 to 31.95, or 5.86%, on 4 million shares. It has gone from almost 100, down to the high 20's. This stock based out by forming a triple bottom, and then started to move up. First, it took out the declining topsline a few days ago, stalled for two days, letting the moving averages cross over, or curl up and begin to cross over, and now has accelerated to a resistance level near the 33 1/4 area. If it can blow through here, the next target is 37-38, but if it stalls in here, and sets up, it's going to be important how it sets up, whether it pulls back sharply or flags in this zone. We'll keep an eye on that one. 20 days to cover could fuel the advance.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on RNDY at TheTechTrader site noting: Roundy's, Inc. (RNDY) broke out of a big base in Aug-Sept of last year, had a 5-wave decline, snapped back and retested, and then broke out on Monday, up 60 cents to 5.73, or 11.7%, on 2.4 million shares. It went through two levels of resistance. The next target is up around 7.00.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on QURE at TheTechTrader site noting: uniQure (QURE), a stock I've never seen before, had a fantastic day on Monday. After breaking out of the base back in Aug of last year, retesting at 12-13, it has made its way all the way up to Monday's high at 35.50. It gapped up and ran 10.75 to 33.61, or 47%, on 26.6 million shares. Normally where there's this kind of gap, eventually they move higher, so look for it to run up towards the 38-40 range.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on EPAM at TheTechTrader site noting: EPAM Systems, Inc. (EPAM) has been beautiful all year. The trend goes from 14, all the way up to Monday's high at 67. This stock spiked and broke out after running up in Feb, consolidated for 4-5 weeks, and on Monday, popped 4.35 to 66.07, or 7%, on 20 million shares. That's a breakout in new, all-time high territory. It looks like it may reach the top of the channel at 70 short-term.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on BAS at TheTechTrader site noting: Basic Energy Services, Inc. (BAS), one of the junior oil stocks that is acting great, was up 46 cents to 8.31, or 5.86%, on 4.5 million shares. It has dropped from 30, all the way down to 5, based out for several months, formed a beautiful base, and on Monday, it pushed up and through the resistance line, and may very well test the gap around the 10-dollar level. Beyond that the targets are 11, and then 12.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on W at TheTechTrader site noting: Wayfair Inc. (W) was up 28 cents to 32.22, on nearly 800,000 shares traded on Monday. The latter part of 2014, it stair-stepped its way lower, formed a base. In February it started an uptrend, as multiple tops broke with a breakaway gap. It formed a wedge, and then another wedge, and now it's four waves up. I'm looking for a fifth wave near 40. Target is 38-9 1/2, and it's probably a good swing trade.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on RALY at TheTechTrader site noting: Rally Software Development Corp. (RALY) had a big gap on Friday. I wanted to see if there was a follow-through on Monday, and there was. It jumped another 91 cents, closing at 13.84, or 7%, on nearly a million shares. Good volume. The overall structure shows a nice base pattern. The stock is moving through the October high, and could very well test the $15 area as early as the next day or two. After that you're looking at a $17 target.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on JMEI at TheTechTrader site noting: Jumei International Holding Limited (JMEI) had a big move on Monday, up 1.22 to 16.18, or 8% on 3.1 million shares. It broke out across declining topsline and lateral price resistance, and could very well lead to a run-up towards 18, which is the next target.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on CYBR at TheTechTrader site noting: Cyber-Ark Software Ltd. (CYBR) has been in a pullback mode, but it may have broken out on Monday, up 6.20 to 54.99, or 12.7%, on 4.8 million shares. It opened at 50.79, and ran up to 55.03, before closing at 54.89. That was a huge day for this stock. Volume increased dramatically. The best volume on an up-day in about 5 weeks. Let's see if it will get back above the 21-day moving average. That level is about 56. If it gets through there, look for 63 to be the next target.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on FOLD at TheTechTrader site noting: Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (FOLD), has been moving up nicely. We've been watching all year, from back when it popped out above the 3-4.00 range. It formed a flag, another flag, a large wedge, another wedge, and finally the consolidation zone exploded with a big gap above it. It reached as high as 13.20, closed at 12.46, up 3.11, or 33%, on 21.6 million shares. That's monster volume for this stock. Lateral resistance for the high back in 2009, may be another reason why this stock backed off. Target is up at 19 plus.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on CRC at TheTechTrader site noting: California Resources Corporation (CRC) is a fairly new, junior-oil issue, and on Wednesday it was up 58 cents to 7.08, or 8.9%, on 6 million shares. After it came down with all the other oil stocks from late Nov through Feb, it had gone from a low of 3 3/4 to over 7.00 at 7.70. After the little pullback, it snapped back from 6.38 to 7.13, and closed at 7.08. A nickel off the high, but a nice close. The next target is 9 1/4.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on EBIX at TheTechTrader site noting: Ebix Inc. (EBIX) has a very attractive pattern. I like the way this looks. It was up 81 cents to 30.72, or 2.7%, on 569,200 shares traded, on Wednesday. After the stock based out and broke out with a breakaway gap on big volume, it formed a flag, and then a falling wedge. It had four waves up, and the fifth one is underway. The extension is as high as 33-33 1/2.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on RGLS at TheTechTrader site noting: Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (RGLS) had a nice day on Thursday. It popped 2.59 to 21.13, or 14%, on 1.7 million shares. That's the biggest day on an up-day since Jan 10. This time it popped across that line and stayed there and closed very well at the upper end of the range, only 9 cents off the high. A terrific day for this stock. If this continues, it may run up and retest the 25-26 area short-term.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on MBLY at TheTechTrader site noting: MOBILEYE N.V. (MBLY) had a good day on Thursday, up 2.21 to 37.02, or 6.45%, on 8.9 million shares. The major declining topsline was tested on Thursday as was lateral resistance. It didn't close great. If it can get through 38-38 1/2, then look for it to head up towards 42.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on FEYE at TheTechTrader site noting: FireEye, Inc. (FEYE), after the base was broken and the run-up occurred, a nice little wedge formed, on low volume, and with On-Balance Volume rising. This appears to be a stock that wants to be 50-52.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on CSIQ at TheTechTrader site noting: Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) had a nice day on Thursday, indeed. It gapped up and continued higher, closing at 34.60, up 4.42, or 14.6%, on 11 million shares. That's the second biggest volume all year. The significance about Thursday is that it went through key resistance, and spiked through the top of the channel. If it gets any follow-through on Friday, look for it to test somewhere around 35 1/2-3/4. If it gets through there, it may even see 40-42. For me, I would be looking to sell a stock that had a run from 18-18.68, and is doubling near the 35 range. But that doesn't mean it can't extend. Going forward, though, put in your stops.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on NLNK at TheTechTrader site noting: NewLink Genetics Corporation (NLNK), a swing trade pick of ours, is doing great, up 3.39 to 49.53, or 3.4%, on 700,000 shares traded Wednesday. It popped, pulled back, and consolidated nicely, and it hit the top of the trendline. With momentum it could get to 52-53, the short-term target. Beyond that, look for it to get to 60-62.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on CLDX at TheTechTrader site noting: Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (CLDX) had a beautiful day on Wednesday, up 2.93 to 29.30, or 11%, on 5 million shares. After the recent breakout, it pulled back, topped, pulled back one more time, formed another wedge, and broke away with a breakaway gap. It had a couple important technical days leading to the top of the channel. If it gets some upside momentum, look for 33-34, but at any moment this stock could get into a consolidation mode since it's at resistance. Longer term, the February highs at 33.33 would be a target zone.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on ADXS at TheTechTrader site noting:Advaxis, Inc. (ADXS) had a terrific day on Wednesday, opening at 10.15, getting up to 10.90, and closing at 10.59, up 47 cents, or 4.6%, on 1.1 million shares. The volume was the best in a couple weeks. As this stock recently came out of a falling wedge, it stair-stepped its way up with a series of pops and flags, and now it's been up two days in a row. Watch for a test, maybe as early as Thursday, of the 11-11.10 zone. If it gets up there and through that, then the new targets are 13 3/4, and ultimately to 19.
Harry has posted Charts of the Day video on DPLO at TheTechTrader site noting: Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. (DPLO) had an explosive move on Thursday, up 4.57 to 30.09, or 18%, on a half million shares plus. The key is that it broke out of a wedge or coiling pattern, and the on-balance volume on it has been steady through this entire pattern. At this point, I'm looking for a follow-through to test 32 1/2, maybe as quickly as Friday. Keep an eye on this one for potential scalp trade, and then longer-term if it gets through that, it could be breaking out to new, all-time high territory.

I have a Macbook 13" unibody model number: A1278 with liquid damage. About 6 months ago I knocked a bottle of water over on my keyboard. I quickly unplugged the computer, and let dry. 3 days later the computer turned back on and worked fine for about 4 months. The computer display would then not turn on at all unless I opened and shut the screen once or twice to get a display light and the screen to work. After about 2 weeks of that, the screen did not come on at all whether I opened and closed the display a few times or not. I took my MB to bestbuy geek squad which sent out to Apple for repairs. Apple then contacted me saying that there was liquid damage and it could not be replaced. Apple claims there is liquid damage to the logic board and LCD assembly. The estimated repair cost is 2,154.90 which is obviously not even the price of the computer. Apple claims I need a new logic board and LVDS cable. When I power on my computer, I hear it starting up and hear the start up chime. If I wait for the computer to start up, enter my password and push enter the computer keyboard functions work (caps lock, volume, ect) as if the computer has started normally but with no display. If I insert a cd into the computer, it plays. The only problem I see is the display screen not working. I am not sure if I need a logic board replacement or not. I'm thinking I only need the LVDS cable replacement for the screen to work again. I have looked online and couldn't find a LVDS cable for my specific model (A1278). Any advice or help would be great.
Thanks, Matt |

The LVDS cable may only be a temporary fix - if you can find one. The problem with liquid spills is that damage doesn't always show up until much later on. It's possible that corrosian could form on the logic board later on. (Maybe, maybe not.)
Anyway, where did you look for the cable? Did you try these places: The ifixit web site. Here. And here. And here. Good hunting. Regards. |

Your mac is showing the symptoms that come down the line, if not immediately of the liquid damage. Save your money and time, and start looking towards getting a new machine, and sell what you can salvage as parts, as this way you will get back a descent chunk of the money you need to replace the unit. |

as in routers/phones other smaller devices, anything that conducts electricity could cause tons of problems. but with a thorough cleaning, that could get stop any corrosion that may otherwise take place. if you're inclined to venture down the DIY route (and want to/have time to mess around w/ the laptop), it's best to assume that the logic board isn't beyond repair, otherwise it's game over (unless you have access nice labs with nice equipment)..... |

There are alot of good paints out there and they are made by alot of different companies.
Also all the companies mentioned here have good paints and they all have some that are junk. In defence of promar 700, it is apartment paint for goodness sakes and can't be compared to high end paint ,and i am sure ICI has one MR. Paint.
I still say you are going to get the best advise from a store that sells just paint than you are in a big box. I work for a company (Duron) that makes it paint and for the most part sells it in it's own stores. I live in Richmond, Va and we sell way more than ICI, so they are not that big everywhere.
5slb6.....You are right - everyone has inexpensive stuff - ICI makes Speedwall in this category. My point was that by throwing out generic statements like Glidden is bargain basement and SW is great - people who don't know any better might not try some good products that are available to them - each company has many different grades for many different customers.
By the way - I know Duron is huge in Mid-Atlantic and parts south.
Duron is the 29th largest paint company in the world. (Source - Coatingsworld.com - July 2003)

Gasol got some balls under his Christmas tree this morning .
Gasol has looked really solid out there since his return. I don't know why people are complaining about him. Rebounding, making his shots, playing solid defense, and making great decisions with the ball, great passing as well. We don't need gasol to put 25 and 15. 15 and 12 is just fine. What most posters on here don't seem to realize is that there are not many guys in the league who can do what gasol is currently doing. For example, it would be considered a great night for someone like williams (who many want for gasol) to put up any of the games gasol has put up since returning.
Yeap, good time to trade him.
This is all very funny.
Follow me on Twitter @KnowNameGuy
Package him and artest
This is all very funny.
Follow me on Twitter @KnowNameGuy
Gasol 13pts 8rebs 6assts 1stl 1blk 1 for 3 from 3pt range..
If he can keep that up...other than a few more pts, 15-18 pts...thats all we need from him...

I disagree with this..I think Jordan Hill Can put up similar #'s with this Lakers team...Pau would be the superior player if he was the focal point on another team. Hill would give you better defense and similar rebounding..
Not to mention he will finish strong at the basket on every attempt. Pau had a huge dunk that I am still shocked over...Have not seen that since 2010..Still he needs to e be moved. I like the pick n roll nash runs with Dwight/Kobe/Hill...I think Artest should try that as well.
I still think the Lakers should move Pau. Everyone was waiting to see Nash and Pau play together and I have not seen enough to tell me that his Lakers career will be revitalized.
King of Kings
Actually, I've provided plenty of facts. I've bled facts out my ears.
You only care about negative outcomes when talking about Pau. You cherry pick stats and plays to prove that Pau sucks, while ignoring anything that he does that's good. You also ignore the very same failings in other players while you're piling on with your obsessive Pau hate.
If you really do not understand how Pau benefits the Lakers beyond his basic stats then you know nothing about how championships are won. Yes, it would be great if Pau was Wilt Chamberlain. But he's not. On the current roster he's the fourth option -- and there is no more dangerous fourth option in the entire league.
In tonight's game you saw a seven footer play the ball-handler in a pick-and-roll with Dwight Howard, and you saw a seven-footer take his man off the dribble from the arc and dunk on him. In the entire NBA -- and perhaps even in the history of organized basketball -- there is exactly ONE ****ING PLAYER who could have done those two things.
If you do not understand what kind of pressure this puts on a defense, and how it makes every other Laker more open and able to operate in space then you are exactly the kind of front-running, score-hungry fan you seem to be.
Whether or not he had a good game today (compared to how he has been playing, anyway), for what Pau is getting paid (and assuming he's playing at close to 100%), he needs to do better. He's getting paid like an All-Star, so he needs to play like an All-Star. He's got to be aggressive, not settle, and not fear contact.
If Gasol was making 10 million a year, I'd have very few issues with him, by the way... because he'd be earning his contract. But in my opinion, the Lakers are grossly overpaying for him.
Also, he got that dunk at the end only because Chandler had fouled out. Who did he dunk on? 45 year old Kidd? Or that other 50 year old? If Chandler was in the game, Pau would've either passed it like a hot potato or clanked a jumper. That's what I mean by being more aggressive - going hard against starters.
His dunk was a big play, I'm not taking that from him, but my concern is, is he going to make the same type of play against tougher playoff defenses? I'm betting not.
I still want to see him moved, ASAP before the playoffs. Not dumped for the sake of trading him, but moved to improve the team overall.
EDIT: Also, I understand this isn't NBA2K13.. a good deal might not be out there. But I at least want the FO to try... hard.
Last edited by handle; 12-25-2012 at 08:03 PM.
You guys wear me out.
It doesn't matter what he's getting paid. If Pau wasn't stuck on a team with Nash, Kobe and Howard he'd be getting a ton more touches and be producing a ton more points and rebounds and assists and he'd be worth every penny. It's not his fault that he's getting paid what he's getting paid, or that he's willing to be the third/fourth option on a team full of stars. So get over the damn money.
And now we're taking good plays away from Pau because of who was on the floor? When was the last time in this forum that anyone said Kobe got hot or a dunk because an effective defender was out with foul trouble? That would be never.
No, you will probably not see Pau make the same play a lot. Why? Because the other team will try to prevent him from doing exactly that, at which point he will probably make an assist (or a hockey assist) that almost no other big man in the game could even attempt. And you will all forget the pass because somebody else scores the points.
You seem to obsessed with me. If pau was getting paid like 9 million than sure he deserves to stay. What is this pressure are you refferring to? The guy is always wide open and bricks shot after shot. He is shooting .412 for the entire season. He puts pressure on the defense? Of course not. You mention wilt, well wilt would be getting paid 20 million a year. Pau is way too overpaid. Your only argument is Pau's dunk for tonight. like I stated before pau is an excellent passer, read carefully next time. Even Dwight himself said tonight it was funny watching pau dunk with his feet on the ground. You say I don't know what wins championships you must not be serious. Pau has a pathetic offense game so far this year, he also has not horrible but bad defense. I'm not sure in what world you live in but to win championships you must play defense and put the ball in the basket.
Here is a stat for you
NBA field goal percentage
Pau gasol ranks 104 out of 130 of the worst field goal percentage. In the entire NBA there are only 26 people who shoot worse than gasol. There is 103 people who have a way better field goal percentage than gasol. The fact that a 7 foot ceter falls into this category is embarrassing. According to you a person who can't play defense and who can't score will win you a championship if you don't believe me refer to gasol poor performances our last 2 playoff runs.
dudes, just **** up.
Pau is getting paid because of what he EARNED.
If you want to cut his salary to 9 million then remove two banners from the rafters of the team.
Im fed up of that b.s

What advice would you give someone starting this project? The directions for this had a few details missing such as where to position handle rings on the body, that made it a bit of a challenge but once I got past that it was done from start to finish in about 4 hours. I also improvised and put two pockets on the inside lining and a pocket on the outside. I also added the magnetic snap so the bag did not sit open.

You wanted more from Batman Eternal? Well you got it! 0
Alright, week 2 of our grant weekly Batman Eternal series. Last week's issue I said I wanted more and boy did I get it. This is issue jam packed full of things to talk about. This week's issue sets up so many potential plot lines and new characters that I honestly had to go back and read the issue a couple of times just to take everything in. Some people were worried that pacing might be an issue in a weekly series such as this and things might be moving too slowly. Well if this issue goes to sh...

Batman Eternal #2 Review 0
Batman Eternal reintroduces one of Batman's greatest foes.I had a few quibbles with the first issue of Batman Eternal. One of the major events in the book was a little confusing on the page, and I was concerned about the story dragging over the course of it's 52 issue run. While the second fear hasn't completely gone away, this issue has made it clear that the Batman Eternal team has a lot in store for us between now and when we'll see the burning Gotham from the issue one opening. Again, the pr...

What is the main conflict in the novel Fahrenheit 451?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The main conflict in the novel is Man versus Society. Montag slowly comes to the realization that the oppressive government system is doing far more harm than good, and he sees that the destruction of the human mind is causing society to stagnate rather than innovate. He is almost entirely alone in his developing thoughts, and clashes with his superior, Chief Beatty, who represents the Society:
"Surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally 'bright,' did most of the reciting and answering while the others sat like so many leaden idols, hating him... We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal."
(Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, Google Books)
Montag's fight against society is not successful except in that it gives him his freedom. He escapes the city and watches as it is destroyed in the war. Montag understands, finally, that he can only free himself, not others; other people must come to their own epiphanies and free themselves in turn, but he can do little to force them out of their apathy. The society that rejected Montag and Clarisse's individualistic ideals is destroyed by its own failures, leaving only a few individuals alive to rebuild society from the ashes.

The German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle, has called for free and fair elections in Albania, warning against the rise of nationalist rhetoric in Tirana.
Guido Westerwelle | Photo by :AP/Bullit Marquez |
"It's very important for the elections to be held successfully and in accordance with European principles," Westerwelle said in a joint press conference with his Albanian counterpart, Edmond Panariti.
"Germany backs Albania's EU integration process, but you need to fulfill the criteria, for which we will make no concessions but will also not put any artificial barriers," he added.
Albania's has long history of contested polls that do not meet international standards. The last parliamentary elections in 2009 sparked a political crisis, which reverberates to this day.
The general elections on June 23 are seen by the EU as litmus test for Tirana's political elite and for its hopes of advancing the country's battered integration process.
Westerwelle also warned against the raising nationalist rhetoric in Tirana, which began after the celebrations to mark the country's 100th anniversary of independence on November 28.
Some Albanian politicians, including Prime Minister Sali Berisha, have increasingly appealed to pan-Albanian sentiment ahead of the polls, calling for the unification of ethnic Albanians in the Balkans under one state.
"Nationalist emotions should be treated very carefully, especially in an electoral campaign," he said. "There will be no border changes in the Balkans," Westerwelle underlined.
The journalist behind an action to honour the victims of Srebrenica in Belgrade hopes his initiative will send a different picture of Serbia to the world.

Get Ready for Baby Day 7: Pack your Bags/Gather your Supplies
For baby last time I wayy over packed. So this time Ill bring a come home outfit, some more outfits, a couple sleepers, hats, socks, and mittens.
I brought my laptop, yes i was on cafemomd during labor! lol
Entertainment is a must for those long labor hours and it helps distract you from contractions. For post baby I reccomend some flip flops for the shower, your own scented soap, and you're own towel! I found out that towels are not made for busty girls at hospitals and won't wrap around you!
And though they say its a waste of money I wish I had brought my own pretty hospital gown (our very own Andee made hers and I love them!) because I was constantly adjusting the ones the hospitals provides for you. Or if you're not into custom hospital gowns, bring some comfy post baby clothes!
For baby take home outfit, pacifiers, diapers, extra outfit
I'm not to sure on this one. With my daughter I didn't bring a hosptial bag I just went and the day we went home her dad brought cloths back for us. this time I do have a small bag with cloths for him and myself and Diapers. my thing Is I have to pack a bag for my daughter to go to her great aunts when hes born now thats a fun one.
I have 6 1/2 weeks till then.... I plan on having my travel kit of bathroom stuff, change of clothes, snacks (hospital food sucks), water bottle (my own to refill...hard to drink out of a cup when tired), my kindle fire, camera, phone with charger, and baby's bag of stuff/carseat.

More than 12,000 proposals poured in after Sept. 11, 2001, when the federal government put out a blanket call for help — from industry, academia, scientists — to fight the war against terrorism.
Now the task is choosing which technology innovations present the best investment to keep Americans safe.
Jeff David, deputy director of the Defense Department's Combating Terrorism Technology Support office, looked at 9,000 of those proposals. David's office manages the federal government's multi-agency Technical Support Working Group, or TSWG.
The group has the task of coordinating all the technology needs across 22 different federal agencies, everyone from the FBI and the State Department to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Energy. The majority of TSWG's funding comes from the Department of Defense.
David says a broad search was necessary to find those unknown promising ideas. "You had to look at all of those [proposals] to find those ideas that really were exceptional," he said.
"They've cast a very wide net," said Brett Lambert, vice-president of DFI International, a private technology consulting firm. "It's a little bit like trying to boil the ocean."
Disabling Bombs With Precision
Within that net: a new device designed to disable bombs with extraordinary precision. Bob Bezanson, of the Technical Support Working Group, demonstrated the technology to ABCNEWS, targeting and disabling a mock bomb hidden inside a suitcase.
"It did exactly what it was supposed to do," said Bezanson. "We hit the briefcase exactly where we wanted, which then rendered safe the bomb."
Not only is the device much more accurate than what's available today, but it is also cheaper — making it more accessible to local bomb squads who may need it.
Other examples of new anti-terrorism technology include walls that bend instead of shatter in an explosion, and windows that just pop back in place, all work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This research was the basis of the structural reinforcements begun at the Pentagon which kept the section struck on Sept. 11, 2001, from collapsing sooner.
The danger of a radiological attack also spurred TSWG to fund a new device since Sept. 11 that potential victims could wear like a badge. The device would instantaneously measure levels of radiation exposure, allowing emergency personnel who arrived on the scene to know immediately who had received the biggest dose. Current technologies take hours or days to retrieve the same data.
And there are cutting-edge tools to aid law enforcement in tracking and following suspected terrorists. A video stabilizer can take the grainy, shaky images usually produced by surveillance cameras and create a clear, steady shot immediately. A license plate number or a suspect's face could be matched to a data base much more quickly, instead of having to wait for a lab to clean up the video after it was recorded.
"Now we're talking about under five minutes to actually get the information to help convict a criminal," said Mike Piacentino of the Sarnoff Corporation, a New Jersey-base technology firm which developed the image stabilizer.
More Ideas Than Money
The government can only fund 60 proposals with the $50 million in funding it got for its post-Sept. 11 request. Given the funding constraints, officials admit they had to reject a lot of good ideas.

Think of the ultimate off-roader, and the Land Rover Defender springs immediately to mind. However, 4x4 aficionados can name a rival that's been going nearly as long as the Defender, and is possibly even more capable in the rough: Toyota's Land Cruiser. The Japanese 4x4's been around for 60 years, and while early cars mirrored the Defender's workhorse nature, the Land Cruiser has grown in size and moved away from its utilitarian roots.
The latest model is packed with luxury kit and a raft of off-road extras, and with prices starting from £34,995, it now rivals the largest Land Rover – the Discovery. We're big fans of the Disco thanks to its family-friendly luxury cabin and superb off-road ability, while constant development has kept it at the front of the 4x4 pack. Here we pitch the flagship Land Cruiser Invincible against the Discovery HSE to see if the new Toyota can claw its way to the top.
These cars use a raft of electronic aids to boost their off-road ability. Both get switchable air-suspension, hill descent control, low-range gears plus rear and centre diff locks, while the Land Cruiser has surround cameras as standard.
In use, the Discovery's Terrain Response system is easier to navigate – simply press a button to suit the terrain you're on. The Toyota's buttons, switches and large dial are a bit messy.
The Toyota has an electrically folding third row of seats, which is easy to use. Its rival's seats require more effort, but the levers feel robust and are more spacious. Tall adults can sit comfortably in the back, and access is easier with the middle row folded forward, too.
Both cars' stability control systems are designed to work with trailers. The Land Cruiser has a maximum towing capacity of 3,000kg, while it's 3,500kg for the Discovery. A tow bar costs up to £650 on the Toyota and £510 on the Land Rover.
Constant development means the Discovery still leads the premium SUV pack. It's spacious, comfortable, smooth and refined on-road, and its off-road ability has to be experienced to be believed. It's well worth the extra outlay over the Land Cruiser.
The Land Cruiser is a supremely capable performer in the rough, and very well equipped, but it feels like it's from a different era to the Discovery. The cabin seems dated, while the soft, bouncy suspension and underpowered diesel spoil the on-road performance.
Land Rover Discovery 3.0 SDV6 HSE | Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0 D-4D Invincible | |
On-the-road price/total as tested | £53,750/£54,750 | £52,495/£54,555 |
Residual value (after 3yrs/30,000) | £31,336/58.3% | £27,140/51.7% |

Choosing between these two really depends what you intend to use it for... If it's for cruising up and down the motorway then the LR is clearly better at that, but then if all you want to do is cruise up and down a motorway surely there are better vehicles... However, if you need a big 4X4 for actually going off-road through mud, snow, water then I'd go for the big Toyota - you just know that even after 1000s of miles of doing this it will still start first time, feel as tight as it was when it left the factory, and more than likely rattle free. Not sure you could say the same for the LR!
An early 1 april joke from AE, the LR wins, what a surprise.
The Landcruiser is not only the best 4x4 also the most reliable car money can by.
Very true ! I prefer the looks of Landcruiser ! go to places like Australia, Middle East you see many many Landcruisers especially on the deserts and of course parts of Africa ! I remember when my dad drove the Landcruiser Colerado (Prado) back in 2000 loved it, however the Discovery in similer age back then not so impressed ! Not saying the Discovery is bad !
Landcruiser had its day in the 1990s. It was a good solid beast with real endurance but unfortunately a bit too agricultural for 2014.
Toyota stood still whilst the automotive world moved on.
I don't like the Disco, but I don't have to deal with deserts yet (climate change may change that) and at least the Disco is a modern car.
Which one would I choose to cross a desert?
No choice..
Toyota landcruiser all day long.
