I've done this same basic tour at Busch Gardens and it was $200 per person, so $400 for me and my wife and it was great. (Also, the tour guide had a camera and took pictures of you doing all the various things and then you could buy a CD of all the pictures they took for $40. I think the price on that has gone up, though, because that was an amazing steal.)
Would I spend out of pocket for this? If I were bringing a large group of new visitors into the park during a very busy time of the year, yes.
If I were just with my immediate family and looking for a good skip-the-lines upgrade to a theme park vacation, I'd opt to stay at a Universal Orlando resort hotel and skip the lines there, instead. I think that's the better financial deal for a solo visitor, family or small group that's interested in those parks.
If I wanted to skip the lines at Disney in those situations, I would look to visit at another time of year, or make aggressive use of our theme park voodoo strategies (arrive at opening, juggle FastPasses, eat at off hours, leave high capacity attractions for middle of the day, meet characters at Epcot World Showcase, etc.) to minimize waiting time.
I love to get more behind-the-scense details, without all of the false information. BUT, unlimited FASTPASS, count me IN.
I have used the expensive VIP passes from Universal and they have been WELL WORTH the money...expecially on their "Fright Night" tours...not for young children!!
Save a space for me Mickey...I'll be there with EARS on!

Hi Daniel! Where did you grow up and how did you get your start in the film industry?
I grew up in Copenhagen and my family are kind of "film people." My father does documentary film and my mom is a screenwriter and directs theater too, so I guess it started from my childhood, hanging out in my mom's theater, having fun. I graduated from junior college when I was 19 and I basically worked odd jobs to survive — like a director's assistant or a casting assistant. Casting is what I really love about doing films so I worked in the field a lot.
When did your career in filmmaking start to take off?
I directed things all through my twenties but this past summer is the first time I've been making a living out of doing film. I just graduated from a film school out here in L.A. called the American Film Institute Conservatory, which is a special program for film schools because it's very secluded and departmentalized. I did a lot of music videos on the side because I had opportunities to direct stuff that I was excited about. It's been very lucky for me because now that I'm out [of school] I don't have to build up my reel and my projects from the bottom. I've already gotten some stuff under my vest.
Are you friends with Washed Out?
No, it's been really weird because I haven't met Ernest from Washed Out, I haven't had any contact with him besides notes from the video and it's very nice because he's given me almost complete creative control. But it's also weird because you don't know the person, what excites them, and what they like about film. So I just went with what I like.
How did you interpret the song "All I Know?"" What is the story behind it?
For me it's always trying to find something personal to talk about in these music videos. If can connect to part of a lyric or part of the rhythm that sparks sort of a memory in me I normally go from there, and I usually try to tell the artists why this is important for me and why this story comes to mind. It's been many years since I've experienced this, but the video is based off an experience when I was like 19 or 20. The good thing about doing something personal, even if you don't have a lot of time, you have a vision.
The video feels like a short film. As a director, do you consider yourself a storyteller?
Yeah, I mean definitely that's what motivates me to watch films in the first place. I come from watching features and watching a lot of television shows. And I admire music video directors that aren't about showing the star in a cool way, but maybe implementing the artist in a narrative way. I've always wanted to just tell stories I guess, and the music video format is visceral, because if the music is good it just taps into your emotions and makes it so much easier if you're just telling a story with dialogue. It's like a cheap trick but it works!
How did you find the actors?
I really lucked out. I had a friend who was a big, big help, who attended classes at my film school whose name is Carter, and I called him up and he had two friends: Ridge Canipe (who plays Viktor) and Masam Holden (who plays Laslo), the two leads and best friends in real life. The thing about casting is when you fall in love with somebody you know that's the right person to cast. That's when you need to put them in front of your camera. The rest of the characters are friends of friends.
Why does Laslo carry the camera? What do you feel that extra dimension adds to the video?
It was something I did a lot when I was their age. I would go around with basically the same kind of camera and film shit. I had the image of the closing scene from a third person perspective, like another source than the main camera. I think some directors implement media without a motivation other than it looking cool, and I'm inspired, but there should be something in the film that motivates that other camera. I think it's a way to get really intimate in the film.
How did you get Ridge and Masam to run down the street naked?
They loved it! We had concerns about getting arrested, but the boys were like, "We'll do it anyway!"
What's your favorite scene?
The video is filled with many vignettes during the trip where you feel at one with the characters, but my favorite is the scene with Viktor sitting with the map and his eyes. There's just something about his eyes there, trying to find her...
Did you have the ending planned out from the beginning? And if so, did Viktor have the ending planned out as well?
For me the decision point was between the first interview and the first instrumental part in the interview, because we see him with the bat in the beginning, and he's questioning Laslo about this guy and asking where he lived and [you] slowly get the feel of what's going on. I totally remember what that was like. I think Ridge totally nailed the feeling of your ex dating an older guy and not being able to live up to it and you're not over her. I had no idea what was happening while I was writing the story—in this story I knew that there was a trip and I knew I wanted the main character to have an ulterior motive with the trip that he didn't tell his friend, but I didn't realize that was the ending until I got to the end.

"Okay, but it's still lacking"
The beginning is powerful, but then the book turns dull and inconsistent. It tries to be inclusive to many things, but lost my attention -and my interest- in the process.
"An epic story"
What would you do if an alien ship picks you up and give you control to fight an army of giant space robots? This story explains what most of us would do in these circumstances. The sequel is definitely on my list. I want to know what happens next.
This is the best collection of stories I've come across for a while. It's full of memorable short stories and one less than memorable, unnecessarily long one.
"Good Finale"
After the first two installments of this trilogy, this one delivers. You get all the action and tension you could hope for, and then some. My only complaint is that the final few chapters feel rushed, and the conclusion could have been better by mentioning things such as Battle School and what they plan to do next.
"The Obsession of Wall Street"
Here's an interesting study about a bunch of people who would pay big money to gain smaller and smaller split-second advantages over other traders, building systems and becoming obsessed on that micro-second "flash" advantage.
"Intelligent, unbiased and excellent"
This course covers a variety of topics and compares them across religions, including creation, where we're going, rituals (in time and space), important people, places and objects, the nature of God, the afterlife and everything in between.
"Debt as a universal truth"
It explores debt as a universal truth, covering its financial form as well as trying to interpret religions on a debt-based system.
It made me really think about the world in a different way.
"I wanted to like it, but..."
This course should have been called "The Most Influential Characters in Western History" because I don't see any of the influential characters in Middle Eastern, Asian or African civilisations. And there's plenty to choose from. All characters and stories discussed take place in America, Europe or a fantasy equivalent of them.
Such a lost opportunity to really explore the world.
"A mile in a doctor's shoes"
I have a personal discomfort of the idea of going to a hospital and seeing a doctor. Yes, I know I need to if things get bad, but I never thought of things from their perspective.
This course helps relieve some of that unease. It doesn't get rid of it, but it is a step toward understanding.
"Fascinating journey through Early Christianity"
This series of lectures explores some of the biggest controversies of early Christianity, ranging from the serious questions (do we still have the original New Testament?) to the borderline crazy (did Jesus have a twin brother?)
If you take it with a grain of salt, it's an interesting journey through some of the most hotly debated issues of the faith.
"Not my cup of tea"
I stopped listening halfway through. I think this didn't age too well. I usually love good sci-fi novels but this one just didn't click even though I listened for as long as I was going to.

We've got a story in the paper today on Georgia freshman safety Alec Ogletree.
That got me thinking about the impact that the players in the Bulldogs' 2010 signing class have made.
Well, turns out they have been relatively quiet.
That might have been expected after Georgia's run of top 10 signing classes ended last February.
Here's how the class stacks up heading into the Liberty Bowl on New Year's Eve:
ILB Demetre Baker—Was headed for a redshirt year before he was booted off the team in late September after his arrest on charges including DUI.
OT Brent Benedict—Redshirted following knee injury in high school. Could be among young players counted on in 2011.
WR Michael Bennett—Redshirted. Players say he could have contributed if given the chance this season. With A.J. Green expected to go to the NFL and Kris Durham done, should be a newcomer to watch in 2011.
DE Brandon Burrows—Redshirted. He said recently he's now working at inside linebacker.
S Marc Deas—Redshirted. Have heard good reports about him on the scout team.
OG Kenarious Gates—Started three games this season and played in six after getting his first action after the Bulldogs' 1-4 start. Played as a reserve down the stretch, but figures to be a starter in 2011.
S Jakar Hamilton—Started the first five games before becoming a backup. Certainly didn't make the kind of impact that some expected when he signed from Georgia Military College. Played corner against Georgia Tech and that's a possibility in 2011.
OL Kolton Houston--Buford product redshirted.
RB Ken Malcome—After redshirting this season, will be in the mix in the mix at tailback, a position needing a spark after showing from Washaun Ealey and Caleb King this year.
OLB Dexter Morant—Left the team for four days during preseason camp and then had shoulder surgery in September.
S Alec Ogletree—If he can improve in coverage, Georgia could have something special in the hard-hitting tackler.
FB Zander Ogletree—Alec's twin should have a prominent role next season once Shaun Chapas and Fred Munzenmaier have moved on. Of course, a Bruce Figgins move to the position could say something about that.
CB Derek Owens—Six tackles on the season in 12 games. He recovered a fumble against Tennessee.
DE Garrison Smith—Two tackles in six games in limited playing time. One of several players that could see increased role after big offseason.
OLB T.J. Stripling—Had one tackle in five games before sustaining a season-ending right knee injury. He is unlikely to be available for spring practice.
DL Mike Thornton –The four-star recruit out of Stephenson High redshirted.
The ones that got away (one-time commitments who signed elsewhere):
WR Da'Rick Rogers—For all the fuss about his late defection, Rogers didn't make a big splash in Knoxville. The Calhoun star has 10 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown. That's nearly identical numbers to Tennessee target Marlon Brown, a sophomore who has 10 catches for 125 yards and a touchdown.
CB Nickell Robey—Led Southern California with four interceptions with one returned for a touchdown. Finished seventh on the Trojans with 48 tackles and a forced fumble. Was named honorable mention coaches All-Pac-10.
LB Deon Rogers—Had seven tackles and a fumble recovery in 11 games for Lousiville.
DE B.J. Butler—Georgia pulled his scholarship offer when it looked like he might de-committ. He had 23 tackles for Louisville, including six for loss and two and a half sacks.

Tokyo, Japan
gyamjo JEWELS was born out of this deep respect to my roots and identity - TIBET -
I've been in the jewellery business in Tokyo for the last 17 years and during this period, while seeing and absorbing the fine arts, objects and antique jewellery in museums around the world made me reconsider and think about my background. My desire to express the beauty of my Tibetan culture and customs through the jewellery grew stronger day by day.
Thus was born gyamjo JEWELS in 2010.
My jewellery is my expression of what I am made of: it can be my language, my religion, my culture, my tradition and my custom. I am based in Tokyo and all my jewellery is designed and made in Japan.Read less

A Hard Day's Night
George Harrison will forever be known as the lead guitarist, and in some ways the spiritual core, of the Beatles, but he also had a fruitful solo career. While Harrison helped stretch the Beatles' musical boundaries into areas of experimentation — including employing Eastern instrumentation such as sitar, borne from his friendship with Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar — he also wrote some of the more beautiful and memorable songs in their canon, including gems such as "Something," "Here Comes The Sun" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
After the Beatles broke up in 1970, it didn't take long for Harrison to release his first post-Fab Four solo effort, All Things Must Pass. Released as a triple album, the set exposed all of Harrison's varied influences, musical and spiritual, and put him solidly on the map as a solo artist, reaching No. 1 and featuring the No. 1 hit "My Sweet Lord."
On Aug. 1 1971, Harrison teamed with artists including Shankar, Leon Russell, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton for the Concert for Bangladesh. As the first major humanitarian benefit of its kind, the concert raised more than $15 million for refugees from East Pakistan for relief from the 1970 Bhola cyclone and the Bangladesh Liberation War. The concert spawned a triple-disc live album, which earned Album Of The Year honors at the 15th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Released in 1973, Living In The Material World became Harrison's second chart-topping solo album.
Harrison entered the film industry in 1978, co-founding Handmade Films, which produced work by the now-classic Monty Python comedy troupe. Harrison hit big again on the charts in 1987 with Cloud Nine, taking his cover of James Ray's "Got My Mind Set On You" to No. 1. In 1988 he joined the Traveling Wilburys, one of rock's supreme super groups, with Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. The all-stars took home Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal for their album Traveling Wilburys Volume One at the 32nd Annual GRAMMY Awards.
In the late '90s Harrison had a bout with throat cancer, and in 2001 he began radiotherapy for lung cancer that had spread to his brain. He died Nov. 29, 2001. Brainwashed, his final studio album, was released in 2002. The album contained "Marwa Blues," a song that earned Harrison a posthumous GRAMMY in 2003 for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

Food Labels: Not-So-Healthy 'Health' Foods? (cont.)
Klein tells WebMD it also easy to jump to the wrong conclusion about foods labeled "low fat," many of which are high in both sugar and calories. Another potential deceiver: Foods labeled "multigrain" or "seven grain."
"Multigrain or seven grain does not mean whole grain, so you're not getting the fiber you think you are," Klein says. Unless the label says "whole grain," it's not the healthiest choice, she says
Too Much Of a Good Thing?
Labels that tout their products as "trans fat-free" may also lead us astray, experts say. "The issue here is that any food in which a single serving contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat is entitled to be called trans fat-free," says Heller, "but if you eat enough of those foods in a given day, you are in real danger of hitting a truly unhealthy level of this ingredient."
While no one has even established an upper limit for unhealthy trans fats in our diets, the general thinking is that anything over 2 grams a day is cause for alarm. And just four servings of a "trans fat-free" food containing 0.5 grams can get you to that limit.
The way to get around it says Heller, is to look for "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils in the ingredient list -- a sign that a product contains some trans fat, regardless of what's on the front label.
Even if your food choice is a totally healthy one, sometimes Sandon says there can be simply "too much of a good thing." She cites fruit juices as an example.
"If you're drinking 100% orange juice, you think you're doing something great for your body by getting a lot of vitamin C, but your body can only absorb so much and beyond that you're just loading up on excess calories," says Sandon.
If you want to ensure you're eating healthfully, don't just read the front product label. Flip it over and read both the ingredient list and the nutrition label, and pay attention to serving size. Then prioritize each food according to your own health concerns.
Says Klein: "There is no one perfect 'health' food for every person, so look for the foods that have the most benefits for your specific health concerns."
10 Foods That Can Fool You
While good food choices may vary from person to person, the experts we talked to help compile a list of some of the potentially unhealthiest "healthy" foods. Of course, in each category there are most likely some individual products that are good. Always check labels to find the best of the lot.

How're Those Questions & Answers Coming?
- Monday, March 29, 2010
That's what we were promised, that's what most of us want, that's what's at the crux of so many people thinking the producers haven't known what they're doing all along, or even believing, as one friend told me recently, "they just take a handfull of stuff and throw it against the wall and see what sticks."
Well, I get that. I do. I completely and totally disagree, but I get that. So for you readers who fit that category I present this special edition posting that catalogues all the questions as I've compiled them. If you have more, whether answered or unanswered or posed by Season Six, by all means, leave a comment and we'll add them to the list.
This little exercise has showed me that we've gotten more answers through the first nine hours of Season Six programming than we might realize. And if Ab Aeterno is any indication, they're going to start compiling in spades. So this is a good time to take a look at these things.
I still believe that "the Man Behind the Curtain" is rarely as exciting as the mystery itself, and LOST has truly bore that out over its history. The idea of what could be in the Hatch was so much grander than the answer which we now accept as part of the lore of the show. And truly, let's not forget, that this show is about two very important things:
- Characters who are dynamic like few others on television, who change, who become redeemed, who continue to fail, who continue to grow. As they are ever-changing so is the plot, so is the story, so is the mystery, so are the answers and the questions.
- A bigger picture being revealed slowly but surely. My friend and boss's boss Chad Nykamp likens it to Plato's metaphor of "The Cave," in which both these characters and we the audience began life not questioning the world we were given - one where, essentially - our heads were bound to only look forward in the darkness upon shadow puppets played upon the wall. Gradually, we are allowed a bit more and a bit more vision until our reality completely changes, and the small things that once seemed so tantamount just aren't that important anymore in the light of the bigger, more colorful story going on outside.
And LOST has been that way. In 2004 I would have described it as the story of a bunch of hurting people in need of redemption marooned on an island together who had to pull together to survive a plane crash. And there were a few weird things about this place and their stories, by the way. Now, in 2010, that's been completely flipped, mirrored if you will. We might describe the show as a huge mystery about heaven/hell, good/evil, won/LOST... and the people are incidental to the larger, grander plan, which was gifted to and for them all along anyway.
Every time those characters demanded answers they were either withheld for their own good, for the timing not being right to understand, or because faith was required of them. Every time they were promised answers it was from a growing malevolence that has had us viewing - at different times - each of the following as "the bad guy" -- from Sawyer, to Tom, to Ben, to Abaddon, to Widmore, to MIB. And it's possible we still aren't done with that progression.
Do we demand, do we believe, do we take joy in the journey to trust in the truth of the great story's Big-Picture ending? Maybe your choice depends on what you find below, and whether or not the progress is satisfactory to you at this late date in the show's run. So let's check it out.
The following questions are ones that I compiled during my January marathon watch-and-blog of the first five seasons of LOST, the ones that were still left open - by my reckoning - going into the final season.
What is "the sickness"?
The sickness Danielle warned Sayid about is the same darkness that has overtaken Sayid and Claire. It probably begins with dying or almost dying, and from there being "infected" and "claimed" by Smokey. It doesn't appear related to the sickness quite possibly concocted as a hoax by the Others to keep folks from leaving the Swan hatch (as in the Quarantine warnings), or to the time-travel sickness that killed Charlotte in Season Five.

GAINESVILLE -- Despite growing frustration by Florida fans with the football program, Gators players are standing by coach Will Muschamp.
Team leaders senior safety Jaylen Watkins, redshirt junior quarterback Tyler Murphy and junior linebacker Michael Taylor all expressed adulation for Muschamp, who is 22-12 in three seasons at Florida.
To see somebody who really has our backs means a lot, Murphy said. We try to put it all on the field for a coach like that.
Said Watkins: He fights for us, no matter what. He takes all the blame, and were the ones out there playing. A lot of times, he puts us in the right position, we know hes got the right scheme for us. Were just, a lot of times, out of place or something. We definitely love the support he gives us, and were gonna support him right back.
Taylor echoed the comments of his teammates, adding players must believe and trust in Muschamps vision.
Although a sizable segment of the Gator Nation on a number of pro-UF message boards seems to be souring on Muschamp, players say they have mostly ignored the fans festering frustrations.
I really dont pay much attention to it, Watkins said. I try to focus on my teammates, and those are the ones that really matter right now at this point.
Of course, we love the fan support, but we have to keep each other up.
UF players insist they wont quit on the season something Muschamp highlighted Monday despite all their main goals being undeniably unattainable.
The locker room, according to Murphy, will not cave in.
Guys are just pointing fingers at themselves, he said. Nobody is really pointing fingers at other people.
Everybody is looking at themselves in the mirror and trying to fix what theyre doing wrong. Theres no finger-pointing other than people are pointing it back at themselves.
Florida, losers of three in a row for the second time in three seasons, hosts Vanderbilt (noon, ESPN3) on homecoming Saturday, and although Murphy acknowledged potential cynicism by fans, he believes the Gator Nation has not given up on the team. Not 100 percent sure, said Murphy, on the fans possible reaction and attendance Saturday.
But just talking to fans that I know personally, theyre still supporting us and theyre still very encouraging. Im sure well have a good show and people will still come support us. We cant really focus on that. We have to focus on beating Vandy, whether theres nobody in the crowd or all 90,000.

Really cool!
Nowadays, if I even BLINK, I curse myself endlessly when I get off. My eyes better be STREAMING or I failed that ride and, le sigh, must simply go again. ^_^
Eyes open = good.
Eyes closed = boooo.
Recently I went to Europa Park over in Germany and they have an Ok coaster with some awesome airtime and a few good drops. I decided that this time I would lift my hands and feet, and close my eyes through the whole ride.
I found what some of you found... closing my eyes took most (all) of the thrill away from an otherwise great ride! You could not tell how high you were... how far you were falling... sure it was surprising to turn into a sharp bank... but when you cannot brace for them they end up hurting your neck more than anything else.
It is a bit scarier to keep your eyes open... but closing them robs you of any thrill you might have otherwise felt.

How fit do I need to be?
Are our walking & trekking trips for you?
Nearly everyone ponders whether they'll hold the group back. Fitness is important, but you don't have to be an athlete. Any healthy and active adult with an adventurous nature can join our walking holidays and trekking holidays; there is no place for competition. Our Guides will keep the group together and there are plenty of rest stops to admire the views. To help you assess what's suitable each walking and trekking trip has been graded to reflect distance, duration, ascents and descents, terrain, altitude and climate. Remember these are just a guide; give our Travel Consultants a call if you have any queries.
There will be exploring on foot and the odd half-day walk largely on the flat, but as long as you have a sense of adventure these are suitable for anyone. These trips are more about culture and sightseeing.
An activity holiday that involves walking for around 2-4 hours each day, with possibly the odd longer one. They involve no particularly difficult terrain with some easy ascents and descents. The maximum altitude is 2,000m, so are suitable for anyone in good health.
Involves half or full-day walks, usually 3-6 hours over rugged terrain with regular ascents and descents and possibly some minor obstacles. The maximum altitude is 3,000m, so requires a reasonable physical condition; previous hill-walking experience and preparation would be beneficial.
Tough half or full-day walks, up to 8 hours over rough paths or animal tracks, involving ascents and descents on steep slopes (up to 1,000m a day). Maximum altitude is c 4,000m and as with all trips you'll carry a daypack for your essentials. Good physical condition is essential and previous hill-walking experience or preparation advisable.
Full-day walks of up to 12 hours on steep slopes over difficult terrain where scrambling may be necessary. Ascent and descent are over 1,000m at altitudes up to 6,000m and the climate can be rigorous and environments challenging. Some trips involve over 14 days trekking. Excellent physical condition and previous mountain trekking experience or appropriate preparation is essential. The Everest Base Camp trek for example requires an excellent physical condition.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls husband and wife face multiple charges after he banged on the door of a home on South Riverdale Road yesterday afternoon yelling to the occupants that they owed him money.
Officer Sam Clemens says a 33 year old woman and her 60 year old mother say it sounded as if he were trying to break into the home.
Clemens says after 29 year old Cody Lee VanLoh broke out some of the windows to the victim's car, he got into a truck driven by his wife. He says an officer spotted the truck and began a pursuit. The truck pulled into a driveway in the 600 block of North Wayland Avenue which is where the suspects live.
Clemens says VanLoh is charged with two counts of simple assault and felony damage to property, for causing $2,300 damage to victim's car.
His wife, 28-year-old Kimberly Ann VanAlsburg, is charged with D-W-I second, revoked license, eluding and open container.
The victims have no idea why the suspects came to their door.

GeForce GTX 780 SLI and Multi monitor review -
Power Consumption
Power Consumption
Right we installed the cards so let's have a look at how much power draw we measure with these graphics cards active and running.
The methodology: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. We simply stress the GPU, not the processor. The before and after wattage will tell us roughly how much power a graphics card is consuming under load.
Our default test system is based on a power hungry Core i7 3960X/ X79 system. This setup is overclocked to 4.6 GHz (core 1.40V). Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results). On average we are using a bit more than a standard PC due to higher CPU clock settings, water-cooling, additional cold cathode lights etc.
We'll be calculating the GPU power consumption here, not the total PC power consumption.
|GeForce GTX 780
|GeForce GTX 780 2-way SLI
Mind you that the system wattage is measured at the wall socket side and there are other variables like PSU power efficiency. So this is a calculated value, albeit a very good one.
Above, a chart of relative power consumption. Again the Wattage shown is the card with the GPU(s) stressed 100%, showing only the peak GPU power draw, not the power consumption of the entire PC and not the average gaming power consumption.
Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
- GeForce GTX 780 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
- GeForce GTX 780 2x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
- GeForce GTX 780 3x SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1000~1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
Though we do have some reserves calculated into our recommendation remember this; if you are going to overclock the GPUs or processor, then we do advise you purchase something with some more stamina. The minute you touch voltages on the CPU or GPUs, the power draw can rise real fast and extensively. There are many good PSUs out there, please do have a look at our many PSU reviews as we have loads of recommended PSUs for you to check out in there. Let's move to the next page where we'll look into GPU heat levels and noise levels coming from this graphics card.
In this review we take the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most slinet of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX ru...

A secondary blog should have all of the same features as a primary blog. We should be able to switch between them. I really don't see why this would be a problem… Sometimes I want to reblog stuff on my primary blog, and sometimes I want to reblog on my secondary blog. But it's a fucking pain in the ass to do with the way you have it set up.
Plus, we don't have all of the social features on a secondary blog… What if we just want two separate dashboards? Follow what you want to follow on your primary blog, and follow what you want to follow on your secondary blog.
And yes, it may be hard to set it up, but work on that instead of a bunch of pointless crap that we're not even asking for… Like the last layout change. Work on stuff like this instead. You'll make a LOT of users happy if you do this.
If you don't do this, then do you know what happens? We just go out and make separate accounts… We go through the trouble of dealing with two accounts JUST so we can have the features we want… But it could be so much simpler…
And I know this is just me rambling, but seriously.
Get your shit together.
Tumblr staff y'all better read this and take this advice!! Seriously get it together.
No one really has to reblog this, like this or read this, but I just wanted to put it out there since many don't have opposing views on certain subjects, but maybe someone shares the same feelings.
I feel like it's 2012, & a lot of stuff needs to die. Most of this ignorance.
Very nice post!
I agree with everything you said. It's annoying how society likes to label everything.
I hear people in the LGBT community complain about how Queen Latifah hasn't "come out" but I just sit there and think why are y'all mad? Just b/c a person decides not to air their personal business doesn't mean they are ashamed of it.
I'm proud of Frank Ocean also but imma get annoyed when he does interviews and they constantly talk about his sexuality. We get it. He's gay/bi whatever. Can we focus on the person's music and character.

RIM is crashing -- this time, literally
The BlackBerry maker faces a network outage on the same day Apple's iPhone 5 is released.
The few people who still own a Research In Motion (RIMM) BlackBerry -- once a must-have gadget -- may have gotten a final push away from the device Friday.
The company is facing a network outage, which has been confirmed in Europe, the Middle East and Africa so far, and comes almost exactly a year after a similar outage in 2011.
The issue is quite the opposite of what the company needed: a boost, any kind of boost. Shares were off about 5% as it is, thanks to the official release of smartphone king Apple's (AAPL) highly anticipated iPhone 5.
Plus, earlier this week, Yahoo (YHOO) announced that its employees will receive phones and released a list of models to be offered. RIM devices were nowhere to be found.
And that's just this week's woes. The crumbling company's stock has lost more than 55% since the start of the year.
RIM's share of the cellphone market stands at a decent 12%, but other numbers point to a much bleaker future. RIM captured a mere 2% of worldwide smartphone sales last quarter and is responsible for only 1% of Web traffic.
And when you compare the aforementioned market share with those of Google's (GOOG) Android and Apple's iOS systems -- 51% and 31%, respectively -- it begins to lose any slight shine as well.
It's far from breaking news, but I think it's pretty safe to say RIM is indeed on its way out.
I still remember when being able to BBM (BlackBerry-message) friends was a cool inner circle that I was on the outside of.
Oh, how times have changed. Now that I finally have an iPhone (albeit not the newest model), the tables have turned and the BlackBerry looks more and more like a laughable antique, especially on a day when many users can't even use the product to begin with.
As of this writing, Alyssa Oursler did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
More from InvestorPlace
I own a BlackBerry Bold and did not suffer an outage. I too love my BlackBerry and have no desire to exchange it for an iPhone or Android. In fact, my old Curve died and the Verizon Rep recommended a Droid. I didn't like it at all.
So we'll see. I'm old enough to remember when all the "experts" sore that Apple would go out of business. My guess is that RIM will make a come back or be aquired, and if it's the later, I reckon the platform must be of value.
I got rid of and Andriod last year due to the hang up, reboot problems and got a Blackberry. I love it! the Andriod used to randomly make calls to numbers that were not even stored in my phone. I hope that there will really be a good model with BB10. Until then, I will wait out any switch.
My GFs Andriod needs rebooting and hangs all the time. She has had three, and they all do it. Almost as good as running Windows Vista!!!

A Piece of Francis Ford Coppola at FIFTY24SF
Film buffs, listen up. FIFTY24SF is working with the art department of Coppola's newest horror film, Twixt, to recreate a set inside the gallery. The installation, TWIXT sc. 83, reflects the film's DIY aesthetic but that's not to say that it's anything like crafty.
With his past three films, Coppola has worked with his production studio, American Zoetrope, to write, finance, produce, and distribute his films. His team built the sets for Twixt in and around Coppola's home as well as in small towns in northern Napa and Lake counties. The gallery set is based on scene 83, the movie's dramatic climax. Expect a thrilling 3D experience, complete with other film props, behind-the-scenes photo archives, plus trailers for the film. And to promote the show, FIFTY24SF is painting the town red, literally—they're covering the area with bloody handprints to build up the hype. Check out more details about the exhibit here. See movie trailer below.
Opening reception for TWIXT sc. 83, 7 p.m., 1/13, FIFTY24SF, 218 Fillmore St., fifty24sf.com

Sirius XM Earnings Preview: Great Progress, Can They Keep It Up?
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In 2008, Sirius and XM merged to create Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI), which provides satellite radio service to about 23 million subscribers. Around the time of the merger, there was rampant skepticism about the viability of satellite radio as a business, and some analysts and reporters were predicting the company's imminent demise. Bear in mind, this was during the same time period that all you heard from the financial news media was "the sky is falling!" and other phrases to that effect.
As a result, stocks all across the market took a beating, and Sirius XM suffered more than most, trading as low as 5 cents per share in 2009. I bought some at around 9 cents per share that year, and sold when it doubled to 18 thinking I had made a genius trade! Since that time, however, Sirius has proven itself (for now, anyways) to be a viable company, turning a small profit beginning in 2010. Now trading at around $3.15 per share, or 6200% above its low (wow!), investors are faced with a tough decision.
While anyone who bought in anywhere near the lows would be silly to not take some profits off the table, is there an even brighter future for this stock? With the company set to report earnings Feb. 5, investors might just get a better picture of where this company is heading.
Earnings and Revenue
Sirius was notorious for hemorrhaging money for many years (see below), and in several years, lost more money than there shares were worth. However, with the company now profitable, will this company continue to grow its subscriber base and revenues over the coming years?
However people have felt about satellite radio as a business, there is no argument that Sirius XM has done a great job growing the popularity and subscriber base of their services. Through factory-installation programs with almost all auto manufactures, the company has grown its OEM distribution channel tremendously.
One revenue source not fully capitalized on is the company's modest stream of advertising revenues, which Sirius XM has said it intends to improve on in the coming years. Any discussion of this during the earnings call would be welcome news to shareholders. At any rate, the company has done a great job of growing its revenues, from less than a million dollars in 2002 to almost $4 billion annually now.
Aside from terrestrial radio, whose popularity has been on a steady decline for years, the most serious threat to satellite as a business, in my opinion, are internet radio services such as Pandora (NYSE: P). With the growing popularity of smartphones and other mobile devices, it is easy to simply plug my iPhone into my car stereo and open the Pandora app.
While I believe satellite is a great deal at only $12.95 per month, especially considering the variety of programming, free always sounds better to a lot of people. Until Sirius XM proves me wrong, I actually think Pandora makes more sense as an investment right now. Since 2009, Pandora has been steadily beefing up their balance sheet, currently with around $100 million in cash and virtually no debt. Also, after just a few years in business (as compared to a decade for Sirius), Pandora is forecast to break even this year, and to become profitable beginning in fiscal year 2014.
Financial Health
After years of accumulating debt, Sirius XM finally seems to have it under control. From the period between 2003 and 2011, the company's long-term debt increased from $195 million to $3 billion; however this has since decreased to $2.4 billion as of the most recent quarter.
Also worth noting is the $2 billion share buyback plan that was just announced in December. This is generally a good sign of financial stability and health in a company.
Another issue, not really financial "health" –related, but pertaining to the control of the company, is Liberty Media's (NASDAQ: LMCA) recently announced majority (50.7%) stake in the company. This effectively gives Liberty control over Sirius XM. I don't believe this is a major cause for concern, but I am certainly interested to hear what the company has to say on this matter during the call.
On that note, Liberty might actually be the best way to play Sirius XM for long term investors. You get exposure to Sirius while benefitting from Liberty's more established businesses, such as their significant stakes in LiveNation and Barnes and Noble, as well as investments in Verizon and Time Warner. Liberty's holdings are a nice blend of established, stable companies and speculative plays like Sirius.
If Sirius XM is going to continue to command the high valuations of a rapidly growing company, they need to demonstrate that they have a plan to rapidly grow earnings, not just revenues. Sirius XM currently trades for 35 times 2012's earnings, which using my rule of thumb that P/E should be no more than twice the annual earnings growth rate of a company, Sirius needs to grow its earnings by 17.5% annually in order to justify this. To this point, more important than the actual numbers for 2012 are the company's outlook to the future and its plan to grow for years to come.

The New York City Rent Guidelines Board has approved rent increases for more than 1 million rent-stabilized apartments in the five boroughs.
The board passed a 4-percent increase for a one-year renewal lease. The rent will go up 7.75 percent on a two-year renewal lease.
The increases apply to lease renewals that commence on or after October 1, 2013, and on or before September 30, 2014.
Every year, the vote angers many, and no one walks away happy.
Renters say anything but a token increase would be too much, while landlords say the hikes are never enough to cover their rising costs.
The Rent Stabilization Association, a group that represents thousands of landlords, had called for a much larger hike, citing higher property taxes and rising water, sewer, and maintenance costs.
Meantime, groups that advocate on behalf of tenants have said that any increase can be devastating to New Yorkers who already have trouble making ends meet.

Atlantans will join activists around the world in a global movement called, One Billion Rising on Thursday. The goal is to demand an end to violence against women and girls. There are three events taking place in Atlanta -- a gathering at the capitol on Thursday morning, a flash mob at noon and a sculpture on display at Freedom Park. The sculpture to be unveiled is a 12-foot tall, female figure. It's intended to represent a woman rising in dance, which is the whole idea behind the one billion rising initiative. The Chelko Foundation came up with the concept and enlisted the help of sculptor Phil Proctor. He says a project like this would usually take 6 weeks, but they've been asked to do it in a little more than one week.Those involved say it is an enormous challenge. They have gotten very little sleep, but say it will all be worth it when their piece of art is unveiled and they can be a part of the initiative to raise awareness about violence against women.The sculpture will be installed on Wednesday and unveiled on Thursday, which is the global day of action. It will be on display at Freedom Park until March 30.

Polyamory is a relationship style (and arguably style of living) involving the creation of "intimate networks" of friends, partners, and lovers. It is also referred to as "responsible non-monogamy." Since this is done without hiding one's relationships from anyone else in one's life, generally with the consent of all involved. One book in particular stands out when it comes to multi-partner relationships: The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt. The book Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits by Deborah Anapol also has plenty of value, particularly for long-term fidelitous networks. The following represents a variety of internet writings on the subject.

(WNFL 1440AM - Green Bay, WI - Jason Miller) - It's been rumored today that Stan Van Gundy is the leading candidate to be the next head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. So I thought to myself, self, why would they go after Stan Van Gundy, and here is my answer. It hasn't been since George Karl that the Milwaukee Bucks have had a coach with the credentials of Stan Van Gundy.
Okay you're going to say that Scott Skiles was good in Chicago…seriously, Scott Skiles made it to the playoffs, 6 seasons out of 13, with the best result, a Conference semi-final loss while in Chicago and one 1st round loss in Milwaukee.
You need more evidence, okay here it goes…George Karl while in Milwaukee put together a record of 205 – 173. Skiles, 162 – 182. Karl missed the playoffs one year while coach of the Bucks…Skiles only made the playoffs one year while in Milwaukee. You are going to tell me that Karl had better talent than Skiles? I will say ok, with a ya-but.
Karl had, Ray Allen, Glen Robinson, and Sam Cassell as his nucleus. Skiles had Jennings, Ellis, and Sanders at his nucleus. Both having pretty good scores, defenders, but one thing Karl didn't have that Skiles had was a guy in Sanders that could block shots on a consistent basis.
So what made the Karl Bucks better than the Skiles Bucks…coaching, period end of the story. You were always sure that a George Karl team was going to play ok defense but put up like 200 shots a night and they would just out score their opponents. Skiles, was supposed to be a defensive genius, more like a dunce. Look I have no opinion of Scott Skiles one way or another, personally, but this is what I do know. Since George Karl the Bucks have had, Terry Porter, one playoff season with a 1st round knockout, Terry Stots, one playoff season with a 1st round knockout, and then who could forget Larry Krysthowiak…wah wah.
Is the talent different in each of the NBA seasons, Yes of course it is but here is one stat I will leave you with. For 25 seasons as a coach George Karl missed the playoffs a total of 3 years, for Skiles he missed the playoffs a total of Seven years out of his 13 on the job in the NBA and Stan Van Gundy coached for 8 years and only missed the playoffs once and that was because he resigned. As a Bucks fan I'm longing for the days of Larry Costello, Don Nelson and Del Harris.
But first you have to bring in the right guy, and maybe even more importantly you need the owner who will give the GM the keys to the car and say, make it work, bring in some guys who will make this a winner again and fill the BMO.
If that happens the Bucks will win again and I sure hope Stan Van Gundy is the coach that will bring out the winning ways of the former Senator and put Milwaukee back on the NBA map of respected teams.

Save your money.
By Stan from the Gym
from Brighton, MI
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I have a Scag ZTR mower with a 61 inch deck and I tried to use this tool to hold the blades in place while I loosened the nut. I destroyed the tool on the first blade. It was bent totally out of shape and I had to throw it away. The funny thing is that I did not exert that much pressure on it. I went back to my old system and just used a block of wood to lock the blade in place.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Does not hold blade
By Frank
from South Florida
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Have a 54 inch lawn tractor. Holder is much to big to hold blade. Have never seen a blade wih a large enough width for this holder. Can be dangerous. Cannot recommend unless you verify blade and tool width.
Blade holder too wide
By Kelliann
from Florida
When you slip the blade holder on the blade, the holder is way too wide to hold the blade, so the blade slips right out and turns as you apply pressure to the nut. Blades are sharp; you can get hurt; this is why you want something to hold it still! There is no way to make the blade stay in the holder. I thought this was going to be ideal and end my problems with blade changing, but, I will never be able to use it. I have a riding mower with a 42 inch deck and two blades. I have never seen a blade as wide as this blade holder is. Measure the width of your blade and ask them how wide the holder is before buying. Needs to be a very close match (quarter to third of an inch) to use this. Would probably work great if it fits your blade.

A handy tool for infield service work
By lloito
from Luthersburg, PA
Good tool to add to your tool box and use in the field where power tools are not practical. The handle length is adequate enough to give the extra leverage and holding power compared to similar products designed for this purpose.
