"Balkin" Bob Davidson made his impact felt Tuesday night at Shea, more than Ben Johnson's debut did. Johnson wen 0-2 as a late inning replacement, whereas Davidson raised the ire of Mets catcher Paul Lo Duca on a called swinging strike 2 during an at bat on which it appeared neither the Giants nor home plate umpire Randy Marsh seemed to believe warranted an appeal an inning before his true effect on the game could be felt, as the Mets defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-4 in 12 innings to improve to 33-17 on the season.
The game was actually quite a spectacle is you like young pitchers with electric stuff. Tim Lincecum made his 5th career start and looked everybit the stud roto geeks have been cheering about since the spring. With a quirky delivery, a mid-upper 90's fastball that explodes in the zone, and change up that comes at you sometimes 20mph slower than his fastball…he has the goods. He also shows no fear to go at hitters and works at a frantic pace. For the Mets, they sent Oliver Perez to the mound for the 10th time this season, Ollie was coming off a tremendous outing in Atlanta and having won 4 of his last 5 games.
The game didn't start pretty for Perez, as he gave up a lead off Home Run to Randy Winn and then 2 batters later gave up another solo shot, this time to one of the hated Molina's, Benji. After the second home run though, something impressive happened. Not only did Perez not allow another hit until the 6th inning, he didn't allow a base runner…in other words, no walks.
Lincecum was simply awesome, not allowing a base runner until there were two out in the 4th when Carlos Beltran took his 36th walk of the season (later he got his 37th) and then served up a long bomb to Carlos Delgado off the base of the RF scoreboard to tie the game at 2. Lincecum would then strike out 4 of the next 5 batters he faced though, and held the game at 2-2 until Jose Reyes led off the 6th with a single and then, on a play only a handful of players can do, went from 1st to home on a double down the right field line by Beltran with out a hitch or a single doubt not only that he would try t do it, but that he would.
If you want to hang anything bad on Perez from this start, it would be that he have up the long ball. Two in the first, and then another one in the bottom of the 7th, the latter to Giants left fielder Dan Ortmeier, tying the game back up, 3-3. It would have been nice to see Perez not give up the lead a half inning after his team got him the lead. However, he was composed on the mound an never once did he fall into a situation where he couldn't find the plate. That's Both Perez and Lincecum would go 7 innings and both would strike out 8 and allow 3 runs. Perez wouldn't be in line for a decision, but his past 4 outings, he has pitched 30 innings allowed 6 ER 24 Ks and 6 BBs. I'm not saying this is now "who" Oliver Perez is, he has had two implosions this season, but it's getting harder and harder to say, "eventually we'll see the real Oliver Perez." …That might be who was are seeing.
Back to the game, it would remain 3-3 and would head to extra innings thanks to an outstanding diving stop of a Julio Franco line drive up the middle by perennial gold glover Omar Vizquel. Earlier in the inning, David Wright had thought he hit a walk off HR, but the ball hit off near the top of the wall and came back onto the field of play. The 10th inning would lead to a scare, as once again Scott Scheoenweis would not do his job, allowing a walk to some guy pinch hitting named Bonds and a ground rule double to 2B Kevin Frandsen to make it 2nd and 3rd with two outs. Aaron Heilman, another guy I have no confidence in, came in and got a line out to Damion Easley at second. Heilman would then pitch a perfect 11th inning as the Mets were held at bay on offense in both the 10th and 11th. Joe Smith came on for the 12th and just did not have it. He had no control with his slider darting every which way. He walked Vizquel, the Vizquel advanced to second on a wild pitch. Then, following a sacrifice, and hitting pinch hitter Mark Sweeney, the Giants had 1st and 3rd and one out. With the infield in, Randy Winn hit a hard ground ball to 1st and Delgado snagged. He decided to take an extra step and step on the first base bag to get the out before throwing home, and by that time it was too late as Vizquel slid just under Lo Duca's tag. I personally have no problem with what Delgado did. He had to spin towards first base anyway from the way I saw it and I don't know how much of a difference the extra second would have made. However, had he thrown home w/o getting the out at first, and Vizquel still got in safely, then you have a potential for a big inning. As it was, Smith would get Frandsen on a check swing (which looked to me like a make up call by Davidson for the Lo Duca call the previous half inning) strike 3, to bring the Mets up for their last licks.
If I were a Lit major, I would type something as silly as, "It looked very bleak for the Metropolitans, as the fans that remained, who had rooted so hard for their team, started preparing for a late night trek back to the homes when all of the sudden, a ray of light appeared from the outfield wall…" Instead, I will put it this way…ARRRMAAAANDO! BENITEZ!!! It is games like this that I need to remind myself of when Billy Wagner gives up a hit or two or a walk or two in the 9th inning of games, "AT LEAST IT'S NOT BENITEZ." Jose Reyes would lead off the inning, and instantly was up there the annoy. After getting 2 pitches out of the strike zone, Reyes almost in jest showed bunt on ball three. He would then take 2 strikes, the second very questionable, before fouling the 6th pitch off and taking the 7th for ball four clapping all the way to meet HoJo at the 1B bag. Enter "Balkin" Bob. With Endy Chavez at the plate trying to sacrifice Reyes over to 2nd, Benitez would be called for a balk, sending Reyes freely to second base. What Benitez did, I have no idea. Crew Chief Randy Marsh said after the game, speaking for the crew, "he started and stopped." Hey, I'll take it. Chavez would get the job done and move Reyes over to third. Once at third, with Benitez on the mound, I was sure Reyes would find away to get to that plate. It would not be immediately though, as Beltran came up with a RISP and grounded sharply to the drawn infield for an out. So with 2 away and down to their last out, Benitez, now was out to prove he could implode with the best of them. I was surpirsed Reyes haddn't been jumpy at 3rd with Beltran was up, but apparently he decided that he would save his patented "fake a steal of home" move for Carlos Delgado's at bat (you'll remember it was Delgado last year who was actually a bit annoyed at Reyes' antics when he debuted his 3rd base shenanigans. This year, using it more sparingly, it finally worked. Before even throwing a single pitch to Delgado, after Reyes sprinted halfway down the line when Bentiez was coming to his stretch, Armando clearly flinched and a second balk of the inning was called, this time seemingly by multiple umpires (3B ump Hunter Wendelstendt was the original caller), forcing Reyes home to tie the game, 4-4. Come on Mets fans, you all know how this one ends…Once you start pulling on that thread, Armando Bentiez completly unravels, and this was no exception. A few pitches later, Delgado would deposit his second home run over the right center field fence, his thrid walk off RBI of the season, to "Put it in the books;" a 12 inning, come from behind 5-4 victory.
The win combined with a Braves loss in Milwaukee to the Brewers, gives the Mets a 5 game lead in the NL East. They will play the second of this three game set Wednesday night at Shea, as would-be Met Barry Zito hauls his absurd contract to the mound and will counter Tom Glavine. Game time is 7:10 ET
The day started out like most have for the Mets the past few weeks, with uncertainty. By mid afternoon, Shawn Green was on his way to the DL for the first time in his career. Green broke a bone in his right foot in the series against the Marlins over the weekend. He wanted to try and take another day or two off, saying he was starting to feel better, but doctors warned that playing on the foot could further injure it and the team chose to send him to the DL. Green will be eligible to come off the DL on June 10th in Detroit, however doctors have said it will take almost 6 weeks to completely heal, so don't expect him back immediately unless the Mets desperately need him.
Because of the open spot on the roster, and Moises Alou not ready to come back just yet, the Mets activated Ben Johnson who had traveled with the team from Miami in case he would be needed.
Also, Tuesday was the Mets' 50th game of the season. With that, Guillermo Mota's 50 game suspension for testing positive for performance enhancing drugs has come to an end. Mota, who has not been allowed to play all season, was immediately re-called follow Tuesday's game. In 7 games with New Orleans this season, Mota has a poor 7.02 ERA with 7 Ks and 5 BBs in 7.2 innings. To make room for Mota, the Mets optioned Ambiorix Burgos to AAA. Not that Burgos has been anything to be excited about, but after re-signing Mota to a 2 year deal worth 5 million dollars even AFTER the suspension was announced, Omar may not need to come out looking smart here, but it wouldn't hurt, because the baseball world will keep a close eye on Mota early on.
Pink Panther Mustache will begin a minor league rehab assignment Wednesday in Class A St. Lucie.

Minneapolis, MINN – A new study conducted by the University of Minnesota indicated that men with well-dressed girlfriends get hit on less.
In particular, men with girlfriends who wear designer handbags and shoes were less likely to find themselves the target of flirts, the study said.
Researchers said they conducted five experiments with about 650 women of all ages and relationship statuses. They said they discovered that women's luxury products often function as a "signal" directed at other women who might normally pose a threat to their romantic relationships.
"It might seem irrational that each year Americans spend over $250 billion on women's luxury products with an average woman acquiring three new handbags a year, but conspicuous consumption is actually smart for women who want to protect their relationship," said Vladas Griskevicius, Carlson School of Management Associate Professor. "When a woman is flaunting designer products, it says to other women 'back off my man.'"
The study concluded: "Regardless of who actually purchased the items, other women inferred that the man had something to do with it and is thus more devoted to her."

text: Inside Scoop Spin-stoppers! How tail rotors stop your chopper flight becoming a ride on the merry-go-round! Flying a helicopter is a constant battle between spinning forces. The main rotors that provide that all-important upwards lift have a side effect – the engine turning those rotors wants to turn the body of the helicopter in the opposite direction – a force called 'torque'. This would make it un-flyable and any passengers would get very dizzy! There are a few different ways to fight this spinning force. Concentrate, this is the science bit! The Tail Rotor (as seen on LEGO® Creator Transport Chopper and LEGO Technic Helicopter) This is the most common solution to the problem of 'torque'. A smaller horizontal rotor attached to the tail, it creates a sideways push against the spin of the body. It is also used for turning the helicopter left and right by spinning the tail rotor faster or slower. But a helicopter that loses its tail rotor is in big, big trouble! The Fan Tail (as seen on the LEGO Technic Rescue Helicopter from 2011) This kind of tail rotor uses a special fin-like tail shape and an enclosed rotor with up to 18 fan blades! It makes the chopper quieter and faster in level flight. Most of all it makes the tail rotor safer for ground crew and less vulnerable to damage! Read More >

Dearest Downton fans, I fear my DA enthusiasm has been waning of late. I read reports of a tiresome plot line about Lady Mary moping about the Abbey, mourning the loss of husband Matthew long after the door hit Dan Stevens on his way out. Then I heard about that weird, under-cooked rape story line. I just don't know where series 4 is going. Should I bother tuning in come January? Only one thing could possible save the show as far as I'm concerned: A role on Downton Abbey for Mike Tyson.
Yes, that Mike Tyson. The former prize fighter with the perplexing face tattoo. Not only does Tyson watch Downton Abbey, HE LIKES IT, and he wants a role on the show. Oh please, TV gods, please? This is all I ask for Christmas. Put Mike Tyson on Downton Abbey!
As it happens, Tyson is heading to London to perform in his one-man play, Tyson: Undisputed Truth. So it's not like he's new to the performing arts. He told Shortlist magazine he'd like to get more acting gigs. "I'm coming to the West End soon for my one-man show, so maybe when I fly to the U.K. they'll give me a part on Downton Abbey. I like that show. I'm sure they could give me a part." So am I, Tyson. So am I. Here's a few ideas, Julian Fellowes and Rebecca Eaton, in case you're paying attention.
1. Cason's replacement: Apparently we got through season 4 without any untimely deaths. You know what that means: Somebody important must die in season 5. I think Carson would be perfect. Get rid of the hard-liner; bring in someone who will keep that wily Thomas in line.
2. Violet's new lover: After decades of tirelessly upholding the social mores of upper-class life through sheer will, habit, and a never-ending stream of zingers, the Dowager Countess has had enough. She spots prize fighter Nigel Dalrymple-Smythe in the papers and is instantly smitten. How she woos him makes for the most explosive, must-see season of DA ever.
3. Harbinger of Doom from the future: Tyson plays himself, gone back in time via time machine. He warns the Crawleys of the obvious -- they will get old and crusty, the money will run out, and they'll have to rent out Downton to American tourists. Horrors!
4. Scotsman on a walking holiday: This is a thing they do in the UK -- go on walking holidays, where they spend their entire vacation just walking around the countryside. Don't criticize, it's tradition. Anyhoo, Tyson wanders onto the Abbey's lands wearing a kilt (he's Scottish) and Lady Edith finds him irresistible. She dumps her fusty, married editor lover and dons her hiking shoes and tweeds to follow Tyson. Best sex ever, obvs. Can't wait to hear Tyson's Scottish brogue.
5. Klingon Chancellor Gorkon: As long as we're jumping the shark here, we might as well go all the way with a Star Trek cameo.
Can you see any possibilities for Mike Tyson on Downton Abbey?

I personally have watched season 4 so far (8 episodes and then the Christmas special will air on...well, Christmas), but I'd have been unbelievably pissed if I'd just have read your article. You need *spoiler alert* on there since you reference the rape. That's a pretty big story line...and actually makes the entire 4th season if you ask me. Which you didn't. As far as untimely deaths....again, not true. There is one notable death AND we still have the Christmas special (which is the episode they knocked Matthew off in last year) -- so anything can still happen. As one of the biggest DA fans, I would DEFINITELY suggest watching it. The rape story line is fascinating and surprisingly well acted. The dialogue between Violet and Isobel throughout the season is taken to a whole new fantastic level. Plus...we're being introduced to Mary's THREE suitors. I have a favorite (Blake). Who knows though...I can see it going several different directions. Definitely watch it...heck, get on the internet and watch it right now (that's how I did it)!!
so she loves convicted rapists and accused wife beaters...good to know...not a shock
Ive seen all 8 episodes of season 4 and i thought they were smashing.

Let This Awesome Science Infect Your Mind
Ed Yong is one of the finest science writers in the world. His National Geographic blog is chock full of the weird, wild, and WTF-inducing stories that make our living world so darn interesting. So I was overjoyed when I heard he would be speaking at this year's TED.
He didn't disappoint. In his talk above, he unlocks the under-appreciated and often cringe-worthy world of mind-controlling parasites. They get no respect, I tell ya, no respect at all. Yet they are cornerstones of countless ecosystems, determining food availability and managing population sizes like armies of freaky fauna, each deployed in a Trojan Horse of evolution's design. Every parasite's life is a story, by definition, an elaborate chain that extends from host to host, and I think they've found their minstrel in Ed. I mean that as a compliment, of course.
Listen to him weave a tapestry of tapeworms, explain what makes flamingos munch on zombie shrimp, show you how a cricket is like a TARDIS, how a wasp turns a cockroach into a cocker spaniel, and how a brain-controlling protozoan reminds him of an Elizabeth Gilbert novel. My favorite part of this? The idea that ideas themselves may be parasites.
I haven't loved a TED talk this much in a long time. Or maybe that's just the parasite talking.

To help with that effort, we've gathered for your consideration a few of our favorite free Google Chrome. Experience the power enhancements they provide, and in a few days you'll wonder how you ever survived online with a bare-bones browser.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: 3 things Google Apps needs to fix... like, NOW ]
If you're a more-advanced power user, you can dig into Chrome's experimental options that use your CPU and GPU to optimize your Web browsing. Those options are buried in an obscure Chrome menu to prevent casual surfers from accidentally borking their browsers, but we'll describe where the options are and how they work. Speed freaks unite!
Power extensions
If you don't already have the latest version of Google Chrome installed and running properly on your system, take those preliminary steps now. Afterward, open the Chrome Web Store, and you'll see an overwhelming array of Chrome apps for augmenting your browser with games, music players, and social networks. The extensions we'll focus on here are designed to make Chrome leaner, meaner and more efficient.
FastestChrome: As its name would lead you to expect, FastestChrome adds a few useful time-saving tools to your Chrome browser. Its features consist mainly of surface-level stuff, such as displaying a pop-up bubble with an explanation of a word whenever you highlight one, and providing the option to look up that word on any of four different search engines (Wikipedia, DuckDuckGo, Surf Canyon, and of course Google.)
The extension also lets you choose to automatically transform written URL text into clickable links (which makes reading email messages from less tech-savvy friends a lot easier), and its Endless Pages feature automatically loads the next page of a website (think Google search results or an eight-page Vanity Fair article) so you won't waste precious seconds clicking Next and waiting for the page to load.
Google Quick Scroll: This extension whisks you straight to the search terms you're looking for on any given website. With Google Quick Scroll installed in Google Chrome, every time you click through a search link, a tiny box containing a preview of the text highlighted in your search result will pop up in the bottom-right corner of your browser. Click that box, and Chrome will take you there without further ado.
Chrome Toolbox: Install the Chrome Toolbox to open multiple bookmarks in a single click, to cache unsubmitted form data so you can avoid retyping it each time you create a new profile, to magnify images and video right from within your browser, and in general to make Chrome twice as useful as it already is.
Experiment at your own risk
To reach Google Chrome's hidden experimental options, first launch Chrome; then type chrome://flags/ in the address field, and press Enter. You'll jump to a page containing an array of experimental options, a few of which directly affect browser performance. To see other hidden Chrome menus that you can access via the address field, type chrome://chrome-urls/ in the address bar and then press Enter. The 'flags' page is where Chrome parks all of the hidden and experimental options, so that's where we're headed.
At this is the point, we'd normally offer a disclaimer about messing around with experimental features in an application--but Google has handled that task quite well on its own. The first thing you'll see when you reach Chrome's flags options is a huge warning that reads as follows:

A couple of years ago, I never would have recommended a Samsung camera to a person who was serious about photography, but things have changed. The NX200 is proof that Samsung is getting serious about photography and they have really stepped up their game with the NX200. This camera body is not much bigger than a compact non-interchangeable lens camera (body only) and with a pancake lens, it could easily fit in your pocket, bag or backpack.

"Well folks, many of us may remember the Cooler Master HAF 932 when it came out and many of those who do will remember the awe that some of us felt about its cooling capabilities and performance. It seems that the NZXT 810 is equal or better than the HAF 932 in every test other than one, in which it was only a single degree worse off. The hard drive temperatures are excellent thanks to the push/pull configuration through the hard drive cage, and the GPU temperatures are made superior by the extra fan(s) specifically to cool the GPU(s). As far as these numbers go, this should put the NZXT Switch 810 at the top of many competitors' lists."

Unfortunately many of those are not LGA2011 compatible, at least not up until this moment and even if they were i simply lack the time to do something like that from scratch especially since that would also mean delaying tests/reviews of brand new products. However today we will be taking a look at a product which i also reviewed in the past and more specifically the NH-C14 high performance low-profile CPU Cooler by Noctua."

It's been five years since Jaguar introduced the current-generation XJ , and the large sedan is finally getting its first update. Paraded on public streets during testing since November 2013, the XJ is inching closer to production, as a brand-new batch of spy shots reveal . So what has been Jaguar up to these past six months? Nothing much really, as the sedan is only getting a mild facelift, but the updated XJ is starting to take shape.
Photographed while tackling the iconic Nurburgring track at blistering speed, the executive four-door has yet to ditch the black-and-white camouflage covering its front and rear fascias. However, we now have a few small details to ogle at before this Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8 fighter makes its way onto showroom floors. Are these new updates extensive enough to jeep the XJ fresh for a few more years with a brand-new S-Class on the market and redesigned BMW 7 Series underway? Stick around to find out.

I don't normally do a lot of keeping up with the Kardashians, but I have been reluctantly paying attention to the unhappy news about Khloe's husband Lamar Odom. From this outsider's perspective, the whole story has just seemed so crazy: he's cheating on her! He's missing and addicted to drugs! He's back home but they've decided to separate! It sort of seemed like he was caught up in a tabloid frenzy that had virtually no accuracy whatsoever, particularly when Khloe took to Twitter to rant about people "talking shit" about her family.
However, based on the breaking news that the veteran NBA player was arrested at around 4 a.m. today on suspicion of DUI, it's sounding like Odom really is in a mess of trouble right now. Sadly for Khloe, the wild speculation about what exactly is going on with Odom is far from over.
According to TMZ, Odom was busted by the California Highway Patrol at 3:54 a.m. after officers spotted him driving a white Mercedes SUV in a "serpentine manner." He was also driving too slow: around 50 MPH. Worse, Odom didn't immediately respond when offers signaled for him to pull over, and he drove past two exits on the 101 before finally coming to a stop.
According to a CHP report,
(Odom showed) objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained and demonstrated.
He was eventually booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs, and held on $15,000 bail at Van Nuys jail where he refused all chemical tests for the presence of drugs in his system.
I have no idea what's true and what isn't when it comes to the rumors about Lamar Odom's infidelity, drug addiction, failed interventions, and marriage troubles, but it's clear that something bad is going on. When a celebrity gets pulled over for a DUI in the midst of a massive image crisis, it seems like a pretty safe bet to assume there's a legitimate downward spiral in progress.
Here's hoping that this arrest ends up being a turning point for Lamar Odom. Regardless of what happens next between him and Khloe, it would be great if the next big news is that he's checked into a rehab center.
Are you surprised to hear Lamar Odom just got busted for a DUI? Do you think all the rumors about him lately are based in truth?

I think this man is obviously going through a very difficult time in his life and we need to leave him alone. For the most part I think celebrities are in the spotlight for better or worse and shouldn't be surprised by paparazzi or reporters taking pics or writing stories. But I was taught you shouldn't kick someone when they're down. We should all extend that courtesy to celebrities and regular people alike and this story serves no purpose beyond speculation and gossip about someone who is obviously in crisis.
Just leave the man alone,, and Khloe as well, im sure she is devastated right now, and doen't need any big media lies. As far as Lamar is concerned ,,, the most importatnt thing anyone can do for him right now is give him privacy , so he can figure out whats the matter. Privacy people privacy!!!
I don't know if they are true but if they are they lamar & khloe need to handle their marriage problems on their own & the media need to stay out of it & let them resolve their own issues. i pray that he gets help & that khloe makes the right decision for herself

Starting in 2014, incandescent bulbs will no longer be sold in America. While compact fluorescents certainly have an early lead in the race to replace the bulb, flat-fluorescent lamp maker Lumiette, might have have a claim to a big hunk of the viagra sales uk market as well.
These new bulbs were actually designed to be the backlight in LCD televisions, but by the time they'd finished their factory, the market for 32 inch backlights had dropped away. So, what do approved viagra pharmacy you do with a factory that produces ultra-efficient, easily dimmable lamps for televisions that television manufacturers don't want.
Make it into a lightbulb company, of course!
They're even more efficient than regular fluorescents, and last far longer. The lamp's electrode is actually outside of the bulb, so it doesn't degrade as quickly. This also allows the lamp to be extremely thin (just a few millimeters) and easy to dim (unlike CFLs...if you've noticed.)
The big problem, however, is the form factor. You're not going to buy cialis be plugging these into your Edison lamp sockets. They'll be great for replacing traditional fluorescent fixtures, of course. But if you want to get them in your home, you're going to have to do it as part of a larger re-model.
They also still contain the mercury that makes CFLs a little less desirable for us EcoGeeks, but the simple fact that they last up to 60,000 hours (more than five times longer than today's fluorescents) will at least make good use of the mercury.
And the cialis dose final advantage they have over OLEDs and LEDs is that the factory that produces them is already built. We don't have to wait to scale up the technology...it's already been done.
Lumiette already has a contract to build a 25 foot wall of light for an unknown buyer, and it will initially focus on commercial buyers and new construction, a common course for new technologies. Current homeowners will have to wait until they can convince lamp-makers to come up with fixtures to viagra free trial pack fit the Lumiette bulbs.

Damn, I worked out why it was saying it's too short (an odd number, or too many quote marks for some reason) but now it's saying Invalid email address.
"And the final advantage they have over OLEDs and LEDs is that the factory that produces them is already built."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there already factories that make LEDs? So where's the advantage?
My next concern, is if they're no longer in the TV-backlight production, because the market for 32-inch TVs is too small, does that mean they're limited to lights that big (otherwise, why not make the only today buy cialis without prescription same backlights, but for smaller TV sizes).
And if it's not size that's the issue, but because other light sources are being used as backlighting instead of fluorescents (e.g. LEDs), then wouldn't that mean these fluorescents are inferior to the (screen backlighting) alternative, in which case, why would I use one as a bulb, rather than the better alternative?
And being more efficient than regular fluorescents isn't that difficult, but how do they compare to LEDs and OLEDs?
And how brittle are they? being as big as they are, and mere millimeters thick, I can imagine that they'd be a lot easier to accidentally smash than other light sources.
But after reading the last paragraph, it seems these (i.e. the 32-inch ones) are directed more towards commercial use, than residential, so by the time they get round to www.boehler.org making ones that fit in conventional light sockets, LEDs and OLEDs may have significantly come down in price (which, at the moment, is the only way I can these beating OLEDs).
written by Hank, December 30, 2008
As for the advantages over LEDs and OLEDs...the form factor makes this more an OLED competitor, and they aren't being mass produced at all. High-brightness white LEDs are being produced, but not at a large scale.
The problem wasn't that they couldn't use them in 32 inch televisions, it's just that since they couldn't make backlights for 42 and 52 inch televisions, the market for the lights was too small. Frankly, I think a 52 inch television is www.slic.de ridiculous...but apparently they're the buying viagra in the us norm now.
And, last, these are never going to go into traditional fixtures. Starting with commercial applications and new building is great. EcoGeek isn't about what you can do to green your life...we leave that to treehugger and the rest...it's about technology that will save the whole planet, and lives...so I'm not overly concerned that I won't be able to buy one myself. As long as they're saving power in the commercial sector, I'm happy.

that said, this and some of the OLED sources are quite promising, if they can produce a good CRI. CFLs are quite good now once you get to a specification level lamp instead of the no-name ones found at home despot or wally world. you'll pay a few dollars more per lamp, but still see major savings.

I think of online viagra prescriptions our Flat Panel Lamp (FPL) as uniquely combining the best attributes of LED & fluorescent lightsources. It shares LED's low profile, dimmability, long life, and high efficiency.
Conversely it shares 'traditional' fluorescent's cool operating temperature; color temp, rendering, and maintenance; is far more appropriate than LED for general illumination distribution (and, BTW, essentially highlight- and shadow-free); and, significantly, carries a fraction of LED's cost.
Importantly, an established fabrication facility moves us from the only best offers professional viagra online realm of theoretical 'future' technologies (5, 10, 20 yrs. away), to a real-world product which can be produced today.
While it's true that commercial markets often facilitate early adoption, we're not closed to residential channels. In truth, we're in discussions with lighting mfr's. on both sides. In either case, new construction applications will beat retrofits to the market, but the FPL's innovative combination of attributes also has great potential as an energy efficient retrofit. Particularly on indian generic viagra the residential side, think of never changing a light bulb again..... (15 - 20 yrs., anyway).
We've already (& will continue to) improve physical durability, as FPLs move from the protected environment of the TV casing, out into the relative open.
Lastly: while 32" diagonal (27x16") IS our basic panel size at present, smaller panels can be virtually of any dimension, and any size can be joined to create larger formats.
This IS a better quality lightsource (for the TV industry, as well). But tooling costs prohibit the great agility which has proven necessary for survival in the TV market. Whereas sizing in the lighting industry is anything but a rapidly moving target, hence it will now become the accidental benefactor of no prescription tramadol us pharmacy this exciting illumination technology.
Thanks & best regards,
Rich :)

These FPL from Luminette seem to be a fantastic compromise between CFL and LED. Now we just need to design some nice fixtures for these new flat panel lights. Maybe I should stop designing industrial machinery and how to get cialis move on to something more exciting.

LOS ANGELES -- Right now, thousands of gaming industry executives, analysts and press are headed here to attend the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 2013, the biggest American gaming trade show. This year's E3 is going to be full of exciting announcements. We're only a few months away from the release of two new game consoles: the Sony PlayStation 4 and the Microsoft Xbox One. There also promises to be huge innovations in games, gaming technology and accessories on display at this year's E3.
The countdown to the June 14 premiere of Man of Steel continues, and now Warner Bros. has released the most dramatic trailer yet for the highly anticipated Superman reboot. After watching this exquisitely paced montage, we have to ask: Are there any spectacular shots and effects from the movie we haven't seen yet? Be warned: This preview does an exceptional job of telling a story -- however, that story might include most of the movie.
The Wizard of Oz, the 1939 classic about Kansas girl Dorothy's unplanned journey into the Land of Oz, is getting a 3D makeover for the movie's 75th anniversary. Warner Bros. will show off the digitally remastered version in IMAX 3D theaters for only the week of Sept. 20 in North America.
Superman fans who want to see "Man of Steel" one day early can do so at Walmart, which has partnered with Warner Bros to sell tickets for an advance screening of the movie. The tickets will become available May 18 on 8AM ET in more than 3,700 Walmart stores, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The special screening will take place on June 13 -- that's one day before the movie's official premiere.
Warner Bros. is giving us a taste of The Great Gatsby soundtrack, peppering its third trailer for the Baz Luhrmann-directed flick with new music from Beyonce, Andre 3000, Lana Del Rey and Florence and the Machine. The nearly 3-minute trailer came out Thursday. SEE ALSO: Beyonce Battles Past Selves in Pepsi's 'Mirrors' Commercial The romantic drama, an adaption of F.
Netflix has inked deals with Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros to bring past seasons of Carton Network and Adult Swim shows to Netflix starting March 30.
Warner Bros. dropped the second trailer for Baz Luhrmann's rendition of The Great Gatsby, which arrives in theaters May 17. The 2:19 trailer shows some never-before-seen footage from well-known parts of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel on which it is based. Scenes include a drive with narrator Nick Carraway (played by Tobey Maguire), in which Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) narrates a false version of his past as a wealthy young war hero.
Amazon is seeking out exclusive content licensing deals with TV and film studios as it looks to beef up its $79-per-year Prime service against larger competitors such as Netflix. The company announced Monday that it signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Turner and Warner Bros. to bring two TNT shows, Falling Skies and The Closer, to its Prime Instant Video catalog.
The second trailer for Warner Bros. Man of Steel is now online! Directed by Zack Snyder, Man of Steel is a reboot of the storied Superman franchise. Warner Bros.'s last attempt at reviving the series, with Bryan Singer's Superman Returns in 2006 fell flat with audiences, but by all accounts, that's not going to be the case with Man of Steel.

Every time I try to run with music #runnerprobs
Adventures of an Ultrarunner and Triathlete in NYC
Every time I try to run with music #runnerprobs
Go out there and get after it today. #mondaymotivation #running #ultras
Today's been an uphill climb for sure. In honor of that, here's some Leadville goodness from #transrockiesrun #justkeepclimbing
I've learned a lot in my decade racing long distance. For example: racing a 50 miler with tons of vert and then running a major marathon 8 days later is generally not advisable.
Which is kind of why I had to try it.
When I lined up for Boston this Monday, I had no idea how my body would handle a long run, just 8 days after the Lake Sonoma 50 had beat the crap out of me. Seriously… four days before the gun goes off in Hopkinton and I am still using my arms to get myself out of chairs. I was thinking that this was probably not one of my better plans. But I should back up a bit…
Lake Sonoma 50 is a beautiful course in Healdsburg, CA. It draws an amazingly fast field and is put on by the one and only Tropical John Medinger, which pretty much guarantees a good time. Add to that amazing volunteers who are literally the best in the world (Anne Trason, Rocket Jones and Meghan Arbogast all crewed that day) and you have an incredible experience. Which is a good thing, because the course is going to demand your full attention. It boasts 10k feet of elevation change and the hills are constant. There is no flat section to recover ANYWHERE. For an East Coast kid like me, this was trouble. By mile 11 I had warned my crew that I wasn't feeling great and it wasn't until nearly 30 that I felt any sort of a steady rhythm. My time goals went out the window and I spent an awful lot of time trying to convince my quads not shut down completely.
Patrick, Susan and Marnie were awesome: they kept me calm, sane and moving in the right direction. When I finally crossed the line in 11:02 I was completely spent and could hardly think about Boston the next week.
I love these guys!
Coach Ian was very practical about my recovery plan: run twice and see how it goes. The first run back was abysmal; I had to beg Michael to slow down and run with me. It was really hard not to cry, I could hardly move. How the hell was I going to line up for Boston?
Thankfully, the second run went a little better and I was able to get some of the kinks worked out. A quick trip to Saul the Amazing PT and it was all systems go for Monday. The big question was, what kind of day was it going to be?
The answer turned out to be amazingly simple: It was epic.
The entire city showed up.
I have always appreciated a really good finish line; it is one of my favorite things to participate in. Running in Boston on Monday was the equivalent of running a whole race's worth of finish lines. Signs were everywhere, exhorting us to stay Boston Strong and to take back our finish line. An older gentlemen held up a huge cardboard placard that said simply " we own that finish line". He locked eyes with me and I tipped my visor and said thank you. The emotion on his face was nearly overpowering.
I spent much of the first 20k being very conservative. Then, just past the half I realized that my quads were going to make it the whole way! It was game on from there on out- I smiled and high fived every person I could find, sang along with the music pouring out into the street and cheered.
November Project rules!!
Now, my mom and aunts have crewed for me at each of my 10 Boston marathons. Each year they work really hard to make it memorable for me and over the years that has included cowbells, chalk, giant signs and stuffed animals. This year, as I approached our regular spot at the Woodland station, I couldn't find them anywhere in the huge crowds. I was incredibly sad; how could I have missed them? I was composing a text in my head " Dear Mom, I think I missed you…" when I saw Dave, the Minion.
Floating high on a flagpole at the foot of the Newton hills was a giant Minion, with three much smaller minions underneath. Please observe the awesomeness:
Energized by my family (and the icy cold can of Coke they had). I tore off up the hill and charged on to Boston. For the last 10k I thanked every police officer, volunteer and spectator that was within 10 feet of me. I smiled, laughed and hugged all kinds of new friends. My pal watched all of this go down from the window of the trolley (it was so crowded he couldn't get off to get to me) and said it looked like I was "smiling my way through the opening credits of Saving Private Ryan" with all the late race travails around me.
One mile to go and I could hardly believe it was almost over. As we made the ascent up to Hereford street, I was stunned by the number of people who had lined the OPPOSITE side to cheer. People were hanging out of windows, standing on lightposts and balconies. The turn onto Boylston was incredible… more people than I have ever seen lined both sides and every single one was screaming for joy. When I approached the site of devastation from last year, I slowed and turned for a big thumbs up and the whole crowd on the sidewalk cheered.
In the last few meters, I rubbed the initials written on my wrist, my father's and my grandparents, and thanked them for helping to make the day perfect. I crossed in 3:53, not my fastest time by far, by certainly the most memorable. As I collected my blanket and medal I noticed that there were even spectators by the chutes. A petite Spanish woman was hopping up and down yelling " you did so good! we are so proud of you!" A tough looking southie type character yelled out " Hey red, nice work out there today. Thanks for running; Boston loves you". With tears in my eyes I shook his hand and said thank you.
Right back at you, Boston. See you next Patriots Day.

The impact of a government shutdown will be felt in San Antonio......
And how would military jobs be affected?
Bob Murdock, Director of the Office of Military Affairs for the City of San Antonio tells 550 KTSA News a shutdown would not involve any active military personnel, but would affect -quote-"Government Non-Essential Personnel"
Murdock says the economic impact might not be great, but the morale impact in the military workplace could be huge....adding that even if it affected only one government civilian employee, it's rather significant.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IN A HEARTBEAT. Easy to use By Richard on 5/6/2012 Richard would recommend this product to a friend This does exactly what it is suppose to do. Set it and Forget it! By Roberto on 3/21/2012 Roberto would recommend this product to a friend Extremely accurate. Once you set up your ML it is consistant and accurate. Great product!! Great Doser for Price By travis on 2/2/2012 travis would recommend this product to a friend chose this doser instead of profilux because of cost, and by far i'd say ive been very impressed so far. been running for over a year now, and super easy to dial in the exact amount of Ml needed to dose. love how you can divide up the dosage in cycles per day. The only drawback ive found is that the buttons are kind of hard to press, and its a little noisy when running, but it doesnt cycle long and washes out with other sounds from sump. Great product. By Sam on 11/17/2011 Sam would recommend this product to a friend First I will start by saying that overall I feel this is a very good product, especially for those who have an active lifestyle or who work irregular hours and may not be home to perform the day to day maintenance tasks on their reef, such as dosing. This was the primary reason that I originally considered this product. After reading the positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot. So far I am happy with my purchase. First we'll discuss the positives. This unit is incredibly easy to program. All you do is set which pump you are programming, the total dosage for the day, and how many times the total dosage will be divided up by. For example, you can set the total daily dosage at 10ml, then select 4 times per day, so that it will dose 2.5ml at the 4 intervals you set. The screen is backlit as well which seems negligible but makes it all the more easy to program. I did not find the buttons to be overly hard to press, though they could be easier. You're better off using your fingernail if you have big hands. As far as delivery, the pump accepts plain old airline tubing, attached to the ends of the pump heads. A couple of things I didn't like about the unit were the price firstly. $300 is a lot of money to spend on a pump which adds at most a few mL of additives to your tank every day. However, if you are going to use dosing pumps, this is the route I would go. If you were to buy 3 individual dosing pumps, that's 2 additional valuable plugs taken up, as well as those pumps requiring timers to operate, possibly taking up 3 spaces on your controller. This unit combines everything in one small box, which makes the price easier to cope with. Secondly, the instructions are absolutely terrible. You can tell they were translated literally from Chinese. Some of the sentences make absolutely no sense whatsoever. At worst this is nothing more than comical, as you can still understand enough to program the unit. Just a minor annoyance. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase of this unit. When you combine the price of 3 dosing pumps and their respective timers, the $300 really doesn't seem quite so bad. BubbleMagus (despite their horrible instructions) has a good reputation for quality products as well. I feel this product is fitting of that reputation. Excellent! By Mathdoc on 11/7/2011 Mathdoc would recommend this product to a friend This is a plug and play pump. The set up took less than 5 minutes total for all three pumps. I use two-part dosing in two pumps and magnesium in the third. There is a manual pump feature that makes it easy to get the air out of the lines and give a little bolus if you ever need to. The tubing they supplied was enough. You can use any containers including commercial two-part container, but the acrylic cylinders ( although a bit over priced ) are very nice and make it easy to see the fluid levels. Amazing By Riley on 9/24/2011 Riley would recommend this product to a friend This dosing pump is phenomonal. An extension can be purchased if you need it too. Its big enough to dose the essentials as it is. Was super easy to set up. And works really well. Havent had a problem yet and dont expect to have one So Far So Good! By Daniel on 5/28/2011 Daniel would recommend this product to a friend Works great! The first time you set it up you should manually fill the tubes with the solution for each pump so the first time the pump operates the solution actually goes in the tank and just doesn't stay in the tubes. The one thing I didn't like was when the power goes off you have to reset the time. A good thing is that it remembers your doses when the power goes off. Great Product By Donald on 3/31/2011 Donald would recommend this product to a friend I was kinda leary of buying this item after seeing a few negative reviews online. I decided to make the purchase anyway and have been pleased. I had no problems with it so far. A month into running it and still going strong. This item is a must if dosing small amounts. Made my life much easier! By Lorraine on 1/16/2011 Lorraine would recommend this product to a friend Finally my levels remain stable with the use of this unit. Two of the pump heads were broken upon receipt, but I was promptly sent replacement heads. Buttons are hard to push, but once you understand that, it is easy to operate. Recommend getting the containers they sell as well. I use 3 of the 2.5 L containers for my Mag, Calc, Alk. Also get the mounting brackets for the unit and tubing. Already thinking about getting me the second unit for additional dosing of other elements. Best Bang-For-Your-Buck Dosing System By Johnny C. on 12/6/2010 Johnny C. would recommend this product to a friend Easy to program, works flawlessly and costs considerably less than its' competitors. Easy to use By Alex on 8/28/2010 Alex would recommend this product to a friend This dosing pump is super easy to setup without using the instructions that come with it. The directions are very poorly, directly translated Chinese. I did not use them at all. Once you plug it in you set the time, set each pumps ml/day and times per day, then adjust accordingly from there. Extra tubing is a must. It does not use standard airline. You must purchase mini airline tubing. Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: Bubble Magus Dosing Pump *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Why I stayed in Boston
- Has Boston moved beyond its racially turbulent past? We asked five minority leaders why they decided to build their lives here. They offered reflections that took on more urgency following last week's racist tweets directed at a black hockey player.
I love this city but we can do better than we been doing.

Wednesday, May 29th, will be a big night for NOVA as the show tackles two timely topics: the Boston bombers manhunt and the Oklahoma tornadoes.
Manhunt – Boston Bombers, which airs at 9pm on ThinkTV16 and CET, looks at how, in the wake of the Boston bombings, investigators transformed the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues pointing to the accused killers. NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role of modern technology combined with old-fashioned detective work, in cracking the case.
Then, following the horrible destruction of the May 20th tornadoes in Oklahoma, NOVA is putting together a new special to air at 10pm on CET and ThinkTV16 called Oklahoma's Killer Tornadoes.
Oklahoma's Killer Tornadoes will combine new information and footage from Oklahoma with segments from the previously broadcast NOVA episode Deadliest Tornadoes. Oklahoma's Killer Tornadoes also will highlight the new radar system put in place to track tornadoes.
It's going to be a big night of newsy NOVAs!
Here's a preview of Manhunt:

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunosuppressive agent and inhibits purine synthesis in lymphocytes. It exerts broad effects on T cells, B cells and macrophages. MMF has been used in several case studies and in small short term clinical trials. MMF is commonly used for preventing graft rejection.
This retrospective study from France assessed the safety and efficacy of MMF in people with MS. The main outcome criterion was annualised relapse rate (ARR) in the 1 year period after onset of MMF compared with the 1 year control period. A subgroup analysis was included on other treatments, like mitoxantrone or cyclophosphamide, in the 2 years preceding initiation of MMF. The cohort included 344 people from three French MS centres; with 149 patients previously treated with another immunosuppressant (IS group). Mean treatment duration was 25.3 months.
They observed a significant reduction of 68.1% in ARR after 1 year of treatment in the whole group compared with the control period. Adverse events occurred in 11% of patients and consisted mainly of digestive disorders, benign infections, asthenia and transitory lymphopenia. In relation to disability, in a subgroup of patients without previous immunosuppressant treatment, EDSS remained stable between initiation and 1 year after the beginning of MMF. This study suggests that MMF can improve or stabilise MS patients.
