Clear as a bluebird day.
Shredding is way easier when you can see where you're going, so crank up the clarity with the Anon Hawkeye goggle. Anon's proven spherical lenses are on display, which feature a 3d curve, instead of the flat lenses found on old-school goggles. The upshot to the spherical polycarbonate lenses is less distortion and improved peripheral vision, so you won't miss a single hit, no matter how well its hidden. The low-profile frame sits snug against your face, thanks to dual-layer face foam, and the pivoting hinge strap anchors provide a perfect fit with or without a helmet. Regardless of your chosen headware, the Full Perimeter Channel venting clears tons of air, to keep the Hawkeye fog free.
- UV blocking polycarbonate lens
- Spherical lens
- Full Perimeter Channel venting
- Medium-size frame
- Pivoting Flush Mount Hinge for helmet compatibility

I have been snowboarding for 15 years and in the 09/10 season I picked up a pair of these Hawkeye anons and I have never looked back. With a little care they still look brand new and I just picked up the blue lagoon lens for grey days. You cannot beat the price and quality!
These are rad

I love how much I can see with these things!
They look great, breathe nicely, the tint functions very well, fit great on my RED helmet, and for the most part they stay de-fogged very well
However I've found that if I leave them in my car (or outside) overnight and they freeze that they fog much easier the next day; not a huge deal, but I haven't had this issue with other goggles
Great for the price
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have used these things in most every condition that a mountain can have. They allow adequate vision, are compatible with most helmet shapes, and look good. What else do you need?
The frame seems to be a bit more convex around the face. It may just be my pair. Nothing too crazy.
Have fun!

I have no trust in the NCAA, period.
Frank Haith wants to know what the NCAA has dug up on his old Miami program. Haith's lawyer wants to know what allegations the NCAA will make. Fans of Haith's current school — Missouri — surely want to know what their coach will be facing in terms NCAA accusations, too.
The scary part is… it sounds like Haith's attorney, Michael Buckner, is already preparing people for what could be bad news:
"Whatever happens, everyone has to understand, these are just allegations. The enforcement staff has been wrong before. The university involved and the coaches themselves have to look at what the NCAA produces and conduct their own investigations. There have been times when the NCAA has made allegations against my clients and I've found glaring mistakes in the evidence — maybe they didn't interview everybody they should have or reached a conclusion that wasn't supported by the evidence
It's the job of the attorneys or whoever is representing each of the parties to do independent vetting of the evidence and bring that information forward to the NCAA so that the complete situation can be presented before the Committee on Infractions."
Does Buckner have reason to suspect Haith will be hit with serious allegations? Or is he simply preparing people for what might – or might not — be bad news?
The NCAA's investigation into Haith's Miami program stems from a jailed ex-booster's claim that he provided $10,000 for one of Haith's staff to pay to prospect DeQuan Jones for his signature on a National Letter of Intent.
There is still no word on when the NCAA will finally deliver a letter of allegations to Miami (and Haith) though reports over the weekend suggested the notice could arrive at any time.

GC: Sunday PAC 12 Power Angle Play
0 Reply | 463 ViewsOn 02/26/2012 11:35 AM in NCAA Basketball
On Sunday the free PAC 12 play is on Oregon St. Game 868 at 7:30 eastern. Oregon St is better than in previous seasons and has won 10 of 14 at home this season and already has a big win at Oregon earlier in the year. The Beavers are 7-1 straight up and to the spread as a home favorite of 3 or less and 7-2 ats off 3+ losses. They have a full week of rest, a role in which they have covered 4 of the last 5 in. Oregon is an anemic 3-14 straight up with home loss revenge and 2-6 vs teams who score 77 or more in the 2nd half over the last 3 seasons. Even worse is their 5-14 road record when the posted total is 150 to 155. Finally Oregon has lost and failed to cover 3 of the last 4 times as a road dog of 3 or less. Look for Oregon St to get the win and cover. On Sunday in NCAAB Action its an Early 5* 18-0 Big East Game of the Month, an afternoon 34-4 Road Warrior side and a Dominator Dog with 8 power angles rounding out the NCAAB Triple Pack. We also have a side in the NBA All star game. Jump on and end the week big. For the free play take Oregon St. GC

Well I guess it's the driver here, I'm not sure: E:\Storage\Intel\PCH\Readme.txt
There's where i found it. Look: http://pastebin.com/QJu3ZmRh (it will expire in 1 month)
Sorry that I answered this slow, pastebin has big stability problems at the moment.
hmmm....seems to be much the same thing.
You could always take a look at the driver options by going through the 'let me choose a driver' route.
It will show you what chips are supported in the inf. file so you can choose from the list.
I think there's also a box that when ticked, will only show compatible drivers [like F6 dialog]
Take a screen shot of both compatible and all drivers and post it up.
Well I don't know, it should flippin' work!! Looks like maybe a bios issue causing it to fall over like that.
Well I have version 23.7 and looking at what the new versions bring in, I don't think they would solve the BSOD. Should I contact MSI as well?

Should I contact MSI as well?
Certainly worth a try, see if you can point them to this thread.
btw, somtimes not all fixes are mentioned in changelogs. Sometimes the fixing of one issue can also fix another issue without the fixer realising it.
Well I tried to contact Intel, then ADATA, now I'll try to contact MSI as well Anyway I think someone will answer monday. So, if you still have any other ideas please post them, thank you! I will update this topic if I will make any progress and/or if I'll solve the problem, so that other people that have the same question can solve it as well.
Sorry for the late answer, I was away on holiday I began contacting Intel support, continued on the forum here, contacted ADATA and in the end MSI. Now both ADATA and MSI came to a point where they don't know anymore what to advise me with. I sent both of them screenshots of the error and to ADATA even the huge DMP file (it has more than 600 MB) but they came to a point where none of them know how to advise me. I even upgraded the firmware of the SSD, version 3.3.2, to a new version that appeared while I contacted them (coincidence?), version 5.0.2a, so I guess a major version, but with no success.
So yeah i guess the error in Intel RST will remain, and I will remain with the Windows preinstalled driver...
However, I thought about trying to update the BIOS (even though I doubt it will solve it) and also trying to contact Intel again. Any other ideas?
I already have the latest version of BIOS that is compatible with my i7 2600 (Sandy Bridge) and after I read this I changed my mind about updating (more links in the first post):
MSI answered me. A technician tested my issue, but they couldn't reproduce it. The agent advised me to not upgrade to the newer BIOSes with Intel ME8, because I could have issues. He also advised me to contact the reseller, which I don't want to do only because of a bug.
I contacted Intel as well, and the agent said that the motherboard or the SSD might be the problem. I also showed him the error of the blue screen, and he said that they don't debug errors. He also said that nobody else reported such an issue like mine, ever since the SSDs were released. Also, he told me that Intel RST 11 has been released, so I downloaded and installed version 18.104.22.1686. As expected, I got again the blue screen.
I'm still waiting for an answer from ADATA, but I doubt it will be something positive. The technician from ADATA already tried to test the issue on my configuration (almost) and it worked properly, and also advised me to upgrade to a newer firmware.
So I guess that was it, the problem was not solved, and nobody knows what's the cause of it.
EDIT: damn that I can't give more helpful answer stars, I wanted to give 'nails' as well. Anyway, thanks each of you for the help!
Hi, sorry for my absence, too many probs at my end.
Do you have a spare hdd you can connect in place of the ssd, just to try and prove a point with? Or have we already tried this
Well what should I say, I could take the one from my father's PC, but you know older people, he thinks that things are ok like they are and we should not change them. Also, I have him my old hard disk so... I'm out of options here.
Any second hand computer dealers in your area? Any cheepy sata drive will do.
I'm sure it must be an issue between the m/b, ssd and driver. A regular hdd is the only thing left to try.
Have you tried installing all available win7 upates? This had a significant effect on some drivers for the X79 board.
Well then, I could install Windows 8 on the HDD and try to install Intel RST. I doubt it will still give me the BSOD but... it's worth a try! What do you think?
Or I could just install Windows 7.
wow, quick reply! did you see my edit regarding win7 updates?
You could back up the hdd then try it in place of the ssd?

Some web sites take long to load after 6.0.1
So ever after updating to 6.0.1 my iphone 5 has been having trouble loading some pages such as macrumors and Engadget. Most others load fine but some always pause for about a minute and then resume loading. The issue resolves when I connect to wifi. Funny thing is that my moms iphone loads all pages perfectly fine even when we are exactly in the same place. I've tried resetting the phone but still the same. We both have sprint with a strong lte signal.
Forgot to mention that all apps including Instagram and spotify have no problems loading at all.

Maryland continues to promote heavy hybrid, electric commercial vehicles
Announces new programs
"With these new buses, the size of MTA's hybrid fleet will increase to 250 buses, which will represent 35 percent of the active fleet," he pointed out.
"In addition, over the last year, the MTA has increased the number of its diesel electric hybrid buses to 42.
"We've found the advantages of a hybrid fleet to be significant," the governor went on.
"With the current diesel fleet, major road calls occur once about every 5,700 miles. With the hybrid fleet, they occur once about every 18,500.
"Hybrid fuel mileage is 20 percent higher, brake life is 25 percent longer and the buses are found to be 50 percent quieter than diesels. For these reasons, our Maryland Transit Administration expects to operate a fully hybrid fleet by 2018."

Since my first Android phone, a Google Nexus One, I really can not live without Android anymore, well I don't want to. After using Android for a couple of weeks I found AndroidPIT as I was looking for answers and help with my new friend. Since then I have been around pretty much every single day and in the summer of 2011 I was lucky enough to start as a moderator and later as a Forum Manager. In my private life I'm a student and working at a Vodafone Shop as part time. So I'm basically always using and working with Android, and that's definitely a good thing :)

In May 2010, i bought my first Android Phone, the Motorola Milestone. The next Step was to Flash and Root my Phone easily, and a friend told me about AndroidPIT. So i became a Member of this Fantastic Community. I found many nice Guys and Technic Freaks like me, some nice friendships where the result at the end of the year. In 2011 i became a Moderator, and only one Year later Forum Manager at AndroidPIT. My objective is to Keep the Forum Clean and to Help the Users with there Problems. Stalke me on Google+ :-)

Durch meine Familie kam ich zu meinem ersten Androiden, somit auch etwas später (mitte 2012) zu AndroidPIT. Als ich anfing mich damals für das X10i zu begeistern, musste schnell ein Neues her, da es damals schon recht alt war und dadurch schon fast auf Rente gehen musste. Jetzt hab ich ein SIII Mini und seitdem tüftle ich immer wieder um das beste aus meinem Gerät heraus zu bekommen. Wenn nichts dazwischen kommt sitze ich am liebsten vor meinem Computer um immer auf dem neusten stand zu bleiben und wie es "normal" ist auch um am PC zu spielen und dabei auch meinen lieben Androiden zu nutzen. Jetzt freue ich mich, hier im Forum allen die Hilfe brauchen, zu helfen.

Mit dem Samsung Galaxy SI bin ich in die Android Welt eingestiegen und habe mich lange mit dem Stock Android zufrieden gegeben. Durch einen Kollegen bin ich dann zum Thema Rooten gekommen und habe mich in weiterer Folge mit dem Flashen von Custom-ROM's und dem Modding beschäftigt. Ich habe mich anfangs als Hilfesuchender an AndroidPIT gewandt und möchte mich nun als Moderator in die Community einbringen und etwas zurückgeben.

I'm registered on AndroidPIT since 2010 - at that time because of little problems with my HTC Desire. After a lot of spended time here I began to write blogs, app reviews and got a moderator finally. Incidentally I'm going to get my A-Levels, playing music, practicing photography and enjoing life.

With my Galaxy S3, I am pretty much a newbie in the world of Android. I quickly found my way to this awesome community and AndroidPIT became my new home. It brings me a lot of joy to support the community as a moderator now. I earn my money with working as an autoworker for a big german company. Alongside I am studying Mechanical Engeneering, wich I hope to graduate successfully soon. Thats why I dont do something special in my leisure time. If I find a gap, I fill it with playing computer games and stuff.

In 2011 i bought my first smartphone. It was the Samsung Galaxy S Plus. I was excited since the first minute. After i year i started to flash the device and it was really cool :D I created two custom rom for this device. Now I have the Sony Xperia Z .I landed in this great community and felt right at home: D
Forum Moderator Germany
I bought my first Smartphone (a Galaxy S1) in July 2011 and became android-obsessed. Since then I visit AndroidPIT and after a few months became infected with the "Flash Virus". I juggle numbers daily in my job as a banker. When I have time and when our family schedule permits, I enjoy skiing in winter and skating in summer.

Mit derzeit 17 Jahren Lebenserfahrung bin ich wohl einer der jüngsten im Team. Ich bin auf dem Weg zum Abitur, und verbringe neben der Schule viel Zeit mit Android, musizieren, und fotografieren. Es mach mir viel Spaß, diese Community als Moderator zu unterstützen, zu der ich seit 2011 gehören darf. Mein erster Androide –das HTC desire HD- läuft noch wunderbar mit Android 4.2.2, verlor allerdings ein wenig an Aufmerksamkeit, als mein Nexus 7 dazu kam.
Putting down roots in Berlin after six years of traveling is a major step for Kris Carlon, who has spent more time living out of a tent lately than sitting at a desk. Kris comes to the AndroidPIT Editorial Team via a lengthy period spent writing on art and culture in Australia and other places he has lived. He joined the Android community while resurfacing in civilization back in 2010 and has never looked back, using technology to replace his actual presence in other people's lives ever since.

Slideshow posted in Photos | Monday, January 03, 2011
5 of 84:
Harry Morgan of 'M*A*S*H' and 'Dragnet' fame died at age 96 at his Los Angeles home on the morning of December 7 after battling pneumonia.
Morgan is survived by his second wife Barbara, his three sons from his marriage to first wife Eileen and eight grandchildren, the New York Times newspaper said.
'M*A*S*H' is based on a 1970 movie and its title stands for 'Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.' The dark comedy series depicted the lives of staff members of an army hospital in the Korean War. Morgan first appeared on 'M*A*S*H' in 1974, playing the eccentric Maj. Gen. Bartford.
A year later, he began portraying Colonel Sherman T. Potter, a role he continued to play on the comedy series until it ended in 1983 and on a short-lived spin-off, 'After MASH.'
Morgan won an Emmy for his regular role and was nominated 10 times for both of his parts on 'M*A*S*H.' He also received a nod in 1959 for his role as Pete Porter on the comedy series 'December Bride.' He was the last surviving cast member of the show, following the 2004 deaths of Dean Miller and Frances Rafferty.
Morgan was born Harry Bratsburg in 1915 in Michigan and began acting in the 1930s in plays. He made his Broadway debut in 1937 in the original production of 'Golden Boy,' the New York Times reported.
The actor moved to California in 1942, in the middle of World War II, and began his on-screen career. He appeared in several films using the first name Henry - his father's name - before he was cast on 'December Bride' in 1954. He reprised his part in a spin-off called 'Pete and Gladys,' which ran from 1960 to 1962.
Morgan is also known for playing Los Angeles police detective Bill Gannon on the 1960 show 'Dragnet.' He reprised his part in a 1987 movie that starred Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks and on a 1995 episode of the animated comedy series 'The Simpsons.'
Morgan had recurring roles on many other shows, such as 'The Love Boat,' 'Gunsmoke' and '3rd Rock From The Sun' in the mid-1990s, which saw him play Professor Suter. Morgan's last on-screen role came in 1999, when he starred in a short film called 'Crosswalk.'

The holiday season is upon us and with it preparation for the biggest shopping days of the year, including Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.
But none of these days are an umbrella for charitable giving — another hallmark of the holiday season.
The holiday season is upon us and with it preparation for the biggest shopping days of the year, including Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.
But none of these days are an umbrella for charitable giving — another hallmark of the holiday season.
Latest from Ideas@Innovations
The Apple CEO made the reveal in an extensive interview with Bloomberg Businessweek.
Bridgespan Group released over 400 clips featuring some of the nation's biggest donors.
The Better Business Bureauoutlines best practices for charitable giving in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
Enter, "#GivingTuesday."
A coalition led by the 92nd Street Y is trying to add a third day to the list of umbrella labels assigned to the holiday-season spending rush.
While the previous two days are centered around purchasing gifts for others (or one's self), #GivingTuesday would focus on promoting charitable donations.
In addition to the 92nd Street Y, the effort is being promoted by leaders at notable non- and for-profit organizations, including nonprofit software service provider Blackbaud, which is hosting its annual conference Bbcon starting at the end of the month. Mashable COO Sharon Feder, The Economist's Matthew Bishop and Stanford professor Robert Reich are also listed among those helping to promote the effort.
"It just struck me as a brilliant idea, because it would engage and excite partners that we've already brought on board to take a basic good idea about giving, but turn it into a network for social good," said United Nations Foundation CEO Kathy Calvin.
The initiative is currently being promoted via social media and GivingTuesday.org. But, much like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday is not, unto itself, a formal organization. Just as it is up to retailers to leverage the Monday and Friday umbrellas, leveraging #GivingTuesday would be up to individual organizations.
Over the last 50 years, according to Reich, Americans have been "consistently generous," giving, on average, 2 percent of their income in any given year. The recession has driven overall giving down, says Reich, but that percentage of income has remained generally the same. Meanwhile, Black Friday shopping continues to reach all-new heights of spending.
"I am excited to see if Giving Tuesday can push the needle" above the 2 percent average, said Reich.

The psychedelic mandala you are gazing at is a convergent beam electron diffraction pattern.
Electron diffraction refers to the wave nature of electrons. However, from a technical or practical point of view, it may be regarded as a technique used to study matter by firing electrons at a sample and observing the resulting interference pattern. This phenomenon is commonly known as the wave-particle duality, which states that the behavior of a particle of matter (in this case the incident electron) can be described by a wave. For this reason, an electron can be regarded as a wave much like sound or water waves. This technique is similar to X-ray and neutron diffraction.
Electron diffraction is most frequently used in solid state physics and chemistry to study the crystal structure of solids.

Thomas Nelson Community College Launches Pilot of First Statewide Campaign to Prevent Dating Violence on College Campuses
|Category: General News
|Comments Open
|Tags: dating violence, pilot project, red flag
The Virginia Peninsula – On October 9, Thomas Nelson Community College will participate in launching the pilot of Virginia's first statewide public awareness effort aimed at stopping dating violence on college campuses. The pilot project called, The Red Flag Campaign, helps students identify "red flags" for dating violence in their friends' relationships and encourages them to intervene.
The campaign is a result of the combined work of students, faculty, and victim advocates from nearly 20 colleges and universities across Virginia. Thomas Nelson Community College was chosen to be one of only 10 colleges and universities statewide to participate in the pilot because of its integral role in developing the campaign.

Emirates Challenges A380
Boeing 787 Pilot Report
Airbus has frequently played the technology card in its battle for market share and now, having achieved parity with Boeing, the company is turning to advanced manufacturing technology to ensure it can deliver the fruits of its success.
The focus on development of automated processes for a "future factory" concept comes as Airbus continues to accelerate delivery rates to record levels. Airbus currently delivers almost 55 aircraft every month, equal to the total A300 deliveries over the first five years of the company's existence. Since 2000, commercial deliveries have grown by 60% and, with a doubling of the order backlog over the past decade to around 4,950, the company has eight years worth of production already on the books.
Jens Gralfs, Airbus operations vice president of overall physical design, says that as the rate continues to grow across multiple models "we are facing strong challenges in how to keep the aircraft productionized." Each of the models represents a different set of issues, whether it is accelerating deliveries of the single-aisle A320 family as it transitions to the New Engine Option (NEO), ramping up the new A350 or improving the sophisticated double-deck A380 assembly process.
"The single-aisle is at a rate of 42 aircraft per month, which is effectively one every seven hours," says Gralfs. He adds that production capacity for the A320 family will be increased by another four per month with the addition of the Mobile, Ala., assembly line. Production of the first aircraft is due to begin there in February 2015, with deliveries set to begin in January 2016. The A380 rate is due to increase from 2.5 to 3 per month and "in terms of complexity, it is in another dimension."
At the same time, Airbus continues to accelerate the A330, which reached an all-time-high rate of 10 per month earlier this year. The target is 11 per month, says Gralfs, who adds that the A330's successor, the A350, is eventually expected to be produced at up to 13 per month. Overall, Airbus delivered 588 aircraft in 2012, which equates to a rate of 49 per month.
All this contrasts dramatically with the rates achieved early in the history of Airbus when it used conventional methods to produce the A300 at a maximum rate of four per month in the 1970s and 1980s. "At that time, no one thought it was possible to make more than four per month. There was zero automation, lots of fixed tooling and no flexibility. The design was 100% focused on the performance of the aircraft and not at all on manufacturing considerations. Frankly, the attitude then was 'who cares about manufacturing?'"
Even in the case of the A320, which entered production in 1988, design considerations for assembly and industrialization "was a secondary topic," noted Gralfs, who was speaking at the recent Society of Mechanical Engineers AeroDef manufacturing conference in California. The A380, on the other hand, was "from Day One designed for performance and industrialization. It was the first Airbus aircraft designed with thoughts of both considerations at the same level. It also incorporated lean manufacturing principles from the start. This is important because what is not designed for lean is hard to make lean afterward."

Suspect accused of ID theft, getting loans in man's name
Police: William Stuart, 32, got fraudulent loans totaling $6k
William Stuart is his name, but San Antonio police said the 32-year-old suspect used another man's name and personal information to obtain two loans.
Stuart was arrested Wednesday on a charge of fraudulent use of identifying information.
A man reported to police last November that someone had stolen his identity, and obtained two loans, totaling $6,000, in his name in September.
An arrest warrant affidavit said a $5,000 loan was obtained through Security Service bank, and a $1,000 loan came from the Sun Loan Company.
Detectives said they determined through surveillance photos from both businesses that Stuart was the person who applied for the loans, the affidavit stated.
They said employees also identified Stuart in a photo lineup as the man who applied for the loans, the affidavit stated.

Durham >Food & Dining > Wimpy's Grill
617 Hicks St, Durham, NC | Directions 2770536.012960 -78.932150
Mon-Fri: 7am-2pm
Neighborhoods: Old West Durham
A favorite comfort food destination. – In Short
Just about everything at Wimpy's is homemade: fresh home-ground beef for the burgers, homegrown beans for the chili and beef vegetable soup. There's fresh baked banana pudding daily as well as cherry, apple or peach cobbler, and some kind of cake. For breakfast, their biscuits are big and "you don't have to hunt for the meat." They aim to please at Wimpy's--you can design your own hamburger, hot dog, biscuit. Call in your order with an approximate time of arrival and they'll have it ready for you.
Best burger in Durham – Whimpy's makes a great burger. They grind their own meat every morning and hand-form the patties. If you laugh at heart disease, try the chuckwagon, a deep fried hamburger patty that is delicious. Support your local burger joint, because they make 'em the best.
Hands Down Best Burger – With a phone call, I place my order and by the time I drive the mile between my house and hamburger heaven, it is waiting for me. I have never been there that the owner and his wife aren't the ones taking my order and compiling it--hard working people usually create the best comfort food! With options like slaw and chili each burger is unique to whatever your specific tastes may require. The fries are often soggy and the onion rings are cut too thick for my taste, but "Mrs. Wimpy" makes the best banana pudding and chocolate cake around. I hear the soup is pretty good in the chilly months. Call ahead to place your order or try not to go around the prime lunch times (11:30 - 1:30) becauae the line can be long.
Wimpy is a hamburger stud – Are you kidding? You quite obviously did not sample a Wimpy's burger when making your list of the Triangle's top 10 burgers. Being from Atlanta and having travelled extensively, I know a thing or two about the subject, and I quite simply have never placed anything else in my mouth that is as heavenly as a Wimpy's hamgburger. With just about any 'fixin' you could want, it's heaven on a bun. Definitely better than Char-Grill, according to my opinion and that of ALL of my Raleigh-native fraternity brothers!
HOW IT SHOULD BE! – No place to sit and eat unless you want to sit in your car but the food is great! The burgers are tasty and quickly prepared. Best onion rings! Get there early or the dessert will be gone. BBQ, hot dog with the works, shrimp burger - it's all great. Prices are very reasonable. Only open during the week and closes at 2:30 pm. It may not be health conscious but who cares. Don't miss it.

Giants destroy Cards in deciding game9:15 am | October 23, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a postseason full of twists and turns, the San Francisco Giants are headed back to the World Series after a remarkable comeback against the defending champs.
Hunter Pence got the Giants going with a weird double, Matt Cain pitched his second clincher of October and San Francisco closed out Game 7 of the NL championship series in a driving rainstorm, routing the St. Louis Cardinals 9-0 on Monday night.
San Francisco won its record-tying sixth elimination game of the postseason, completing a lopsided rally from a 3-1 deficit.
"We're going to the World Series, this is unbelievable," series MVP Marco Scutaro said.
The Giants, who won it all in 2010, will host reigning AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander, Triple Crown slugger Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 on Wednesday night.
Verlander is set to pitch Wednesday's opener at AT&T Park. Gianst manager Bruce Bochy insisted before Monday's game he had not planned any further in advance.
Scutaro produced his sixth multihit game of the series and matched an LCS record with 14 hits and Pablo Sandoval drove in a run for his fifth straight game.
"These guys never quit," Bochy said. "They just kept believing and they got it done."
After falling behind 3-1 in the series at Busch Stadium, the Giants outscored the wild-card Cardinals 20-1 over the final three games behind stellar starting pitching from Barry Zito, Ryan Vogelsong and Cain.
They also benefited from some strange bounces.
On Pence's double that highlighted a five-run third, his bat broke at the label on impact, then the broken barrel hit the ball twice more. That put a rolling, slicing spin on the ball and caused it to change directions — leaving shortstop Pete Kozma little chance to make the play. Kozma broke to his right, figuring that's where the ball would go, but it instead curved to left-center.

Grand Falls/Windsor Cataracts Rob Hennigar gets a chance at the puck to put his team up, but it wasnãt to be. The game between the Cataracts and the Western Royals in Deer Lake Saturday night ended in a 3-2 shootout loss for the Royals. The Royals won 6-3 Sunday.
Star file photo by Paul Hutchings
DEER LAKE Chris Peach had two goals and linemate Matthew Thomey had a goal an an assist to lead the Western Royals to a 6-3 triumph over the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts Sunday afternoon.
Peach, who had a power-play goal to get the Royals on the scoresheet in the second stanza, and Thomey had empty-net goals in the last minute of regulation to put the game away as the Cataracts threated to get the equalizer in the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League contest before an estimated 500 fans at the Hodder.
Ryan Penney, Scott Doody and Stephen Simms also scored for the Royals, who claimed three out of a possible four points from the league-leading Cataracts after picking up a single point in a 3-2 shootout loss Saturday night as the Royals held its annual Teddy Toss before puck drop.
Defending scoring champion Andre Gill had two goals for the Cataracts, while rugged defenceman Mike Brent jumped up on the rush to steal a loose puck and beat Royals puckstopper Bryan Gillis with a wrist shot from 25 feet out for the Cataracts other goal.
Gill banged home a loose rebound to get the Cataracts on the scoresheet first at 5:48 of the opening stanza with assists going to Cam Fergus and Brandon Nicholas.
Gill scored his second goal of the game at 1:48 of the middle stanza on a power play with Rodi Short and Rob Hennigar providing the spadework to give the Cats a 2-0 advantage.
Peach got the Royals on the scoresheet with his first of the game coming at 3:45 of the second period as he fired a wrist shot high over the blocker of Cataracts puckstopper A JãWhiffen after finishing off a tic-tac-toe play with Thomey and Brian Barker.
Brent gave the Cataracts a 3-2 lead heading into the second intermission after he stripped a Royals defender of the puck and fired a wrist shot past Gillis from about 25 feet out.
Simms evened the contest at 3-3 at 9:51 when he took a one-timer from defence partner Parker Deighan and blasted the puck high over the glove hand of Whiffen to give fans something to cheer about as the Royals seemed to gain momentum as the game got older.
Peach scored into the empty net with 48 seconds left in regulation to give the Royals some breathing room, but Thomey put the dagger in the hearts of the Cataracts with his empty-net marker with six seconds left on the scoreboard high over centre ice as fans showed their appreciation for the Royals who showed they have become a better team since losing two games to the Cats to open the season.
The Clarenville Caribous, meanwhile, had to settle for a split on home ice against the CeeBee Stars after wrapping up the series with a 9-2 victory Sunday at the Clarenville Events Centre. The CeeBee Stars won the opening game of the series by a 3-1 spread Saturday night in Clarenville.
The other weekend matchup saw the Gander Flyers earn a split on the road against the Mount Pearl H JãBartlett Electric Blades at the Glacier. The Blades eked out a 6-5 victory Saturday night, but the pesky Flyers bounced back for a 5-3 victory Sunday with Peter Campbell and Rob Mignardi scoring two goals apiece for the second-year franchise.
The Royals will hit the road this weekend for its final two games before the Christmas hiatus, tangling with the Caribous Friday and Saturday night in a series that will put one of the clubs in a better position for second spot behind the Cataracts.

Spend the extra $200 and get the similar looking Toto Soiree. Made in Georgia, USA. You will never regret it. Soiree User Reviews
Or, if you were looking at the $1200+ Memoirs one-piece, buy almost two Soirees.
For one thing, it's got the weird tower-flush deal. It may be a challenge to find affordable replacement parts, like you can with a Toto.
Kohler gravity flush models generally haven't received high marks in this forum...my only personal experience was with a horrible, Clogger Kohler Portrait toilet that I finally ripped out and replaced with a Toto Drake, something I would have done sooner if I had known how great Totos are.

For California, a budget surplus won't translate into a reserve
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
A view of the California State Capitol. The budget outlook is improving for the Golden State, but that doesn't mean there will soon be a lot of money on the bank.
California may declare a surplus for its fiscal year 2014 budget. Unfortunately, the state won't be able to put money in the bank for a rainy day.
That doesn't mean its outlook isn't looking up. The credit rating agency Moody's likes what it sees in the Golden State's improved fiscal situation. In particular, the passage of Prop 30 last November — raising incomes taxes on wealthy Californians and sales taxes on everybody — bodes well for future revenues.
But getting the budget out of deficit and into surplus doesn't mean the state will be prepared for the next inevitable economic bust.
Moody's analyst Emily Raimes blames a history of underfunding education.
"As revenues increase in the state in the next few years, additional revenues will have to be dedicated to bringing that education funding back to the baseline where it would have been if the state had not been doing that underfunding," she said.
Mars Curiosity has landed, but the battle for JPL's budget is just taking off
Pool/Getty Images
Don't get too excited. Mars Curiosity has been a big success, but there might not be much money for missions in the future.
We successfully landed a one-ton nuclear-powered robot car on a planet over 300 million miles away, using a rocket skycrane. Now Mars Curiosity has, in just a few weeks, beamed panoramic pictures of its new red world back to Earth, zapped a rock with a laser, wiggled its wheels as a precursor to its first spin on the Martian surface, and then gone for a plutonium-powered drive.
Everything is going great!
Except that back home, it isn't. They were high-fiving in their powder-blue polo shirts at Jet Propulsion Lab mission control in Pasadena, when Curiosity signaled that it had not become a $2.5-billion flame out or a smoldering hole in Gale Crater. But the future of "planetary science," with a focus on Mars, is in doubt, as science takes a back seat in NASA's budget.

UCLA MBAs are cut loose as Anderson School of Management goes solo
Photo by Chris Radcliff via Flickr Creative Commons
At UCLA, the MBA program will no longer be supported by funds from the State of California.
The UCLA Academic Senate approved a plan today to shift the Anderson School of Management's daytime MBA program to a self-funded model. Anderson's MBA program has been around since 1939 and has always been state-funded. But now it will be supported only by tuition and donations, according to UCLA.
The total savings will be $8.8 million, which would be diverted to other programs at UCLA, making up for budget cuts brought on by the ongoing fiscal crisis in state-supported higher education in California.
UCLA Anderson is generally considered an elite, top-20 business school, as ranked by publications such as Forbes and U.S. News & World Report. Tuition is currently over $45,000 per year for California residents and over $52,000 per year for out-of-state students studying full-time.
The vote in the UCLA Academic Senate was 53-46 in favor of the move, with three abstentions. The proposal now goes to the full University of California Academic Senate and UC President Mark Yudof for a final vote.
Time to privatize the L.A. Zoo?
Patricia Nazario/KPCC
The LA Zoo's Elephants of Asia Exhibit opened this past December. If the Zoo were privatized, it would save the city almost $18 million per year.
I've been digging through Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's budget proposal for Los Angeles' fiscal 2012-13. The bottom line is that the Mayor, through cuts and revenue enhancements, plans to eliminate a $200-million-plus deficit in a total budget of $7.2 billion.
When you ponder the numbers, it's the very large ones that jump out at you:
• A police department that costs $1.3 billion to fund and consumes $449 million in pension payments, which when totaled account for nearly a quarter of the entire budget
• A City Attorney's office that costs nearly $100 million
• A city zoo that gobbles up almost $18 million per year
Okay, so that last number isn't all that huge. However, within the context of the budget deficit — $238 million — the zoo represents almost 8 percent. (And it's not even the total cost to operate the zoo, which is about $26 million annually.) You don't have to be an investment genius to recognize that figuring out a way to unload that cost would yield the city a decent return and reduce the need to, say, lay off clerks in the LAPD, something that Chief Charlie Beck has said will require the department to change the way it handles some of its business.
Why are we so worried about L.A.'s budget deficit?
Spencer Platt/Getty Images
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has budget issues.
There's a general sense of hysteria — including the use of the "b" world (bankruptcy) — over Los Angeles' estimated $222-million budget deficit. Everyone seems very, very worried. The future looks even more grim, as the deficit is expected to rise to $427 million by 2014-15. There's abundant hang-wringing going on. But is $222 million really that big a deal?
The overall budget is about $7 billion. The deficit is less than 3 percent of that total. For comparison, New York City is running a deficit on a $70-billion budget that's more than double that of L.A. — and the Big Apple is delighted that it can reduce that to L.A. levels.
Miguel Santana, the Chief Administrative Officer, actually has a plan to close most of L.A.'s budget gap. This is from the L.A. Times:
Santana says about $150 million in new revenue is needed. Doubling the so-called documentary transfer tax imposed on the sale of property could bring an additional $100 million, he said. Raising the parking tax by 10% to 15% would bring in $40 million. Additional revenue could come from improved collection of parking ticket fees and ambulance billing, he said.
