Despite a terrible onboarding experience from T-Mobile (the title of a forum post I found on the subject: "Steve Jobs is laughing his ass off right now", pretty much nailed it), I'm otherwise delighted with the device / OS combination. A few quick thoughts in no particular order below:
- Moore's Law is Fully in Effect: Despite being in the software business I'm not a big gagdet guy, but each time I pick up a new device I'm reminded of the fact that the rate of technology change contines to accelerate. My BlackBerry 8700 was a nice piece of gear when I bought it, but both the hardware and software capabilities of the G1 (as with the iPhone) are astounding by comparison.
- Power Supplies are the Mobile Bottleneck: While device and connectivity leap ahead, mobile device batteries aren't keeping pace. My BlackBerry could run for 2-3 days on a single charge, but I'm lucky to get through a full day on the G1. The mobile promise will continue to be dragged down by battery life until a power supply breakthrough comes along.
- Apps are Fun But... : With over 500 million iPhone app downloads (and counting), smartphone users clearly love customizing their devices. Indeed, user-customized smartphones are now totems of indentity much like cars have always been. But (as this Pinch Media study suggests), the actual use of these apps is very low. Three related questions that come to mind are:
- Q: What happens to the mobile app market and developer ecosystem if / when the novelty of customizing a new phone wears off?
- Q: For how long will network conectivity and latency issues make mobile client apps (as opposed to purely browser-based ones) a viable path for software innovation?
- Q: Will the anticipated "mobile platform wars" among Apple, Google, Palm, BlackBerry and Nokia extend the runway for the mobile app opportunity, or simply ensure the continued dominance of the current leader, Apple?
[Update: One thing I took for granted with the G1 but - given my BlackBerry experience - I'm surprised I didn't highlight the fact that the Google onboarding experience with Android was flawless. All I had to do was enter my credentials once and my Gmail, Contacts and Calendar were all immediately loaded and ready to go on the phone. I spent countless hours fighting my BlackBerry to kludge together a solution to this problem and it was a total delight to have it all happen automagically.]

I would like your input on this set up. Primary use would be for FPS gaming.

Hello Flash67,
Your configuration looks great! If you wanted to increase performance on this build, I would suggest DDR3 memory. By selecting DDR3, you can match the speed of your processor with 1333Mhz RAM. You will get more FPS on games, than you would with this current setup. Regardless, this is still going to be a fast system!

Posted by AndonSage in another thread:
The DDR3 RAM is really not needed. With the high multiplier of the E8500, you really only need DDR2-800Mhz, like the G.Skill. That will let you overclock up to 3.8GHz. If you are trying for faster than that, go with DDR2-1066MHz. In any event, DDR3 is unnecessary and expensive.
would also apply to the 9450 proc

I'd make all system 1333 MHZ. It looks like Ram is only the drop off in speed from 1333 to 1066. So DDR3 system is the way to go if you choose that route.

Please be aware that memory in dual channel configuration is using a 128 bit bus while the FSB is only 64 bits wide.
That means a FSB at 1333 MHz pushes 10.6 GB/s and memory at 1066 MHz pushes 17 GB/s.

The 9450 actually has a low multiplier. The 9450 has an 8x multiplier. The FSB is 1333/4 = 333 MHz. The multiplier is 2.66 GHz / 333 MHz = 8.
DDR2-800 has a bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s in dual channel mode. A FSB of 1600 MHz will match that. That means that 1600/4 = 400 * 8 = 3.2 GHz as the maximum OC of that processor if you want to match the ram.
If you went with DDR2-1066 memory, that means the FSB will have to be 2132 MHz to match that in bandwidth. An OC on an 8x multiplier at that speed will be 4.2 GHz. You could always drop the multiplier down to 7x for an OC of 3.7 GHz, which is still respectable. However, you will only reach these numbers if your mobo can support this high of a FSB, but I doubt it.

Here is the math for determining which memory to get:
Stated FSB/4 = Actual FSB
Multiplier x Actual FSB = CPU Speed
1:1 Ratio: 2 x Actual FSB = RAM Speed
1:1 Ratio: FSB = 1/2 RAM speed
Multi x Actual FSB, RAM Speed = Clock speed
8 x 333MHz, DDR2 667 RAM = 2.66Ghz <== Stock speeds
8 x 400Mhz, DDR2 800 RAM = 3.2Ghz <== Easy OC
8 x 450Mhz, DDR2 900 RAM = 3.6Ghz <== Good OC
8 x 500Mhz, DDR2 1000 RAM = 4.0Ghz <== Excellent OC
AVA Direct doesn't normally carry 1000MHz RAM, so you have to go with 1066MHz unless you ask them to get in something else. Anyway, with the normal configurators, choose one of the following:
For 800MHz: G.SKILL, 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz CL5 (5-5-5-15) SDRAM DIMM, Non-ECC
For >800MHz: OCZ, 4GB (2 x 2GB) Reaper HPC Edition PC2-8500 DDR2 1066MHz CL 5-5-5-18 2.1-2.3V SDRAM DIMM, Non-ECC

For maximum cooling, change this to the ThermalRight Ultra-120 Extreme HS with a Scythe S-Flex 120mm 1600rpm Quiet Fan, or at least the Noctua NH-U12P.
Unless you are planning on Tri-SLI, or this motherboard has something specific that you need, the eVGA 750i SLI FTW is a stable and great overclocking motherboard. I've read six reviews of this motherboard so far, and all of them really liked this board.
This will be great for getting that Q9450 up to 3.6GHz :)
What resolution is your monitor? Unless it's 1920 x 1200 or higher, the 9800 GTX is overkill. If you're gaming at 1680 x 1050, get an 8800 GTS 512MB card. If you're gaming at 1920 x 1200 or higher, you'll probably want to get one of the new GTX260 or GTX280 video cards after they are released, so stick with eVGA so you can use their Step-Up programs.
The Raptors are old tech, and the new Western Digital drives with the 320GB platters perform just as fast. I'd suggest a 320GB WD Caviar SE 16 (WD3200AAKS) for the first drive, and a 640GB WD Caviar SE 16 (WD6400AAKS) for the second drive.
The Samsung S203N is a great drive, and is quieter than the Lite-On.
I think the Corsair power supplies are better than the Thermaltakes, although their Toughpower models are the only ones that are any good. Consider either the Corsair CMPSU-750TX, or the CMPSU-1000HX if you really want a modular PSU.
All opinions expressed in this message are my own, and others may disagree.

Moyes says farewell as Ferguson flies over Goodison.
No prizes for guessing who dominates today's newspaper coverage both locally and nationally.
After 11 years at the helm, David Moyes' time as Everton boss came to an end yesterday with a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea.
Speaking after his final game, the Scot is quoted in the Liverpool Echo, saying he hopes his lasting legacy is the altered mentality which means the Club is now expected to mix it with the Premier League's very top sides.
The same paper provides a match report of yesterday's game, while Everton correspondent Greg O'Keeffe says Moyes' successor will need to address goalscoring flaws highlighted during the trip to Stamford Bridge.
In the Daily Mirror, Moyes says he is 'sad' to be leaving and reflects on a final game defeat he believed was harsh given his side's spirited performance.
The Times reports Moyes' job is not quite done though, as the outgoing boss will spend this week at Finch Farm tidying up his paperwork and saying his farewells.
Writing for his regular column in the Daily Telegraph, Alan Hansen questions whether the former Preston chief will inherit a truly great Manchester United team, saying Sir Alex Ferguson's chosen replacement faces a 'really hard job' sustaining success at Old Trafford. The player-turned-pundit says he is unconvinced United's current best line-up is as strong as that of Manchester City or Chelsea.
And to end on a more light-hearted note, the Liverpool Echo carry the story of Duncan Ferguson's charity zip slide across Goodison Park.
The big Scot completed the challenge on Saturday to help raise money for Everton in the Community.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
You get what you pay for! by An MSN Autos Consumer on 08/03/2012. Trim: 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: -Lots of technology -Nice exterior and interior styling, shows Merceddez design influence -Very roomy interior
Cons: -MPG not even close to what is advertised -Electronic components fail, navigation, bluetooth, iPhone connectivity....
Overall review: I bought this car because I have a 70 mile x 2 drive everyday for work and needed the gas mileage. I am extremely disappointed that Hyundai claims 35/40 MPG on this car because in reality I average 30.9 MPG. My drive consists of 95% highway and 5% city. I drive from Orange County to San Diego and there are a few hills and climbs in both directions so I expected the mileage to not be as high as advertised but never this low. If I use hypermiling techniques I can get 37-38 MPG but that means driving 60 MPH, neutral downhill, coasting uphill and in SoCal that will get you killed by other motorists, plus it's just downright dangerous when the flow of trafic is 75-80 MPH. Bluetooth connectivity is a joke, the buttons on the navi go out sometimes. I will be selling this car to anyone that will buy it and buying a camry hybrid or a VW Passat instead. You really do get what you pay for.......

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will help you change your mind by duaned2 on 12/23/2012. Trim: 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Very comortable highway ride, solid feel on highway and in town. Maintains and / or exceeds estimated mileage with conservative driving habits. We also own a 2011 Sonata Limited and like the hybrid better for several reasons. The 2012 hybrid is much quieter, has a smoother ride, has numerous Bluelink features like optional android remote start, turn by turn nav and on and on. I wish we had two of these great cars instead of one standard Sonata and one hybrid. We have earned a planet - (find out for yoursef what that means . . . . . ) With some advanced hybrid driving I have achieved 54 mpg for short periods. Awesome for such a comfortable and quiet car.
Cons: Sometimes the transition from electric to gas is not smooth and offers a few jerks and temporary slow excelleration. I have learned to turn off the "blue" option (button on steering wheel) on first morning excellerations until the car is warmed up sufficiently. On the highway the transition is seamless and dramatically improves gas mileage with conservative driving habits. The bluetooth is not as easy to operate as early bluetooth versions. The entertainment features take some practice and memorization skills. Essentially the car uses 3G networks for Bluelink so only as good as your location.
Overall review: I would own two of these for everyday cars. Hyundai did a great job with just a few correctable growing pains. Year end discounts brought this car down to $22,300 for standard equipment which is far from standard. If you are serious about a well built alternative, pardon me but you are crazy for not taking this car for a test spin. All the buzz about incorrect mileage ratings on Hyundai is a mystery to me. We have enjoyed excellent mileage on both the Sonata Limited 2011 and hybrid 2012. Build quality is as good as any moderately priced car and reliability is high compared to competition. We like the money we save on fuel cost and maintenance.

Excellent Car But Don't Get It Broke by Satisfied But Wary Customer on 02/01/2013. Trim: 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Excellent styling and driving. Feel only a slight "push" when the gas engine kicks in. Have been able to go up to 60 mph still on battrery power while coasting and on downhills for quite some distance. Overall comfort is good though I still don't really see the point of the "special" fabric on the seats. Still, they are comfortable, even on long drives. Good power on acceleration and good braking as well.
Cons: Very difficult to get parts! Was hit on the side recently - deploying the passenger seat airbag. Took 2 1/2 months to get the part from Korea! Most other cars, even other hybrid models, wouldn't have been such a problem. Have owned a hybrid Altima before - never took more than 1-2 weeks to get parts. Otherwise, I haven't had any problems or other complaints so far - though have only had the car for 5 months, and two and a half of them the car was in the shop.
Overall review: Love the car - but hated the incredible delay in getting a seemingly common part.
Review ID: #569226 Is this review offensive?
Full-size comfort in a hybrid by Bob from Cleveland on 07/31/2012. Trim: 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: This car has full-sized interior space. It is easy to get in and out of for large drivers. It has a truly smooth and comforting ride. Electronic ignition and proximity detection systems work very well. Standard features such as the Bluetooth system that enables hands-free phone use and climate controlwith dual zones and console vents to heat/cool the rear passengers result in excellent comfort.. I have gotten 42+mpg with the 2012 Sonata hybrid. It is easy to get good gas mileage without driving extremely slow, if one is diligent in using cruise control (CC). When driving in the city (or anywhere) switch on CC as soon as you reach the target speed.
Cons: There are no major detractions.
Overall review: One should definitely consider the Sonata hybrid if you want a hybrid that has interior comfort comparable to a full-sized car. In contrast to hybrid cars such as the Prius, this car is optimized for driving an appreciable amount of time in the suburbs and on back country roads (where this car is at its best) or highways. As noted above, I believe that the key to getting excellent gas mileage is to use cruise control in suburban and where possible and safe city driving as well as for highway driving. You will find that using cruise control will increase the amount of time that the car spends in "EV" mode. I strongly recommend the leather package if you are transporting children or infants due to ease of cleaning the seats. The car is great for transporting family. The children and adults are comfortable, allowing the children to sleep and adults to relax. The adjustable seats with supportive headrests and the front and rear heated seats with leather packages work great.

Lovin It! by Nugget on 02/28/2013. Trim: 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Love it....I live in Western NY snow country, and even with the factory tires the car has exceeded my expectations as far as getting around. I feel very confident in all conditions.
Cons: Nothing.
Overall review: I would highly recommend...gas mileage is also really great.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
Choose the Burton Sapphire Snowboard Boots if you're looking to get ultimate performance in a very affordable and stylish package. These boots are flat-out gorgeously designed and they are sure to turn heads where ever you go. But don't let its looks deceive you, these snowboard boots are some of the best out there. Slip your foot into one of these and you will feel like you just dipped your foot into a bubbling Jacuzzi! That's how warm these are. Comfortable, tough, and made to last, the Burton Sapphire Snowboard Boots are a diamond in the rough.
Discontinued Colors
I really liked my boots. They kept me warm even too warm. My feet were very hot. I also liked the way they looked. The color splash is wicked awsome.
I would like to start off by mentioning that I am an aggressive female rider who spends a lot of time in the backcountry. I am a freak of nature, however and have always required a softer flexing boot, contrary to the theory that more experienced riders need a stiffer setup. The break-in period for these boots was a long and rather uncomfortable process. However, now that they are I find them to be comfortable and have no problem spending a solid 10 or more hours in them- which I do more often than not being a big mountain line hunter who spends time in remote locations. I am impressed with the lace system- which ties down neatly and has thus never come out of place through my days of snowmobiling and even more importantly- walking through deep snow and or climbing steep pitches. Although I am happy with the overall feel and fit of this boot- I am truely disappointed with the Thermic system- which is why I purchased these boots to begin with. I unfortunately have extremely poor circulation, and have previously always crammed foot earners into my setup on colder days. Even while hiking- the Thermic system did not put out enough heat to keep me warm on a -10F day. The fact that you have to ride with the battery packs is also extremely annoying. I ended up giving up on the whole heated liner amenity and still shove heat packs into them on colder days. I do recommend the boot overall- but don't buy it for the heat function- and don't waste an extra 70 bucks on the battery packs to use it.
The best boots to snowboard. So confortable,you can run, walk, and of course snowboard like wearing skate shoes. Easy to wear, fits perfectly with your bindings.
i love these boots! It did take a day or two to break in but after that they do everything I need it to do. Recommended for the intermediate level.
Absolutely love them :) Only a beginner but a friend who is an advanced boarder recommended them. Took a while to break them in and a wire pack from the heating console dug into the top of my foot for a while but I wouldn't be without them. They're so much nicer than any other boot I've worn.
Got these boots for the girl. She really likes them. Good overall boot, does everything that you really need. Very stiff initially but was able to work them out in a few sessions.
This boot overall is nice and comfy for a little while, after a session it starts to hurt though. It's a bit stiff and narrow, so if you have wider feet like me, I suggest you get a wider boot.
I have always owned Ride boots but after using my sister's Burton boot I definitely want to buy these. My feet were really warm and they were really comfortable.
Over all pretty satisfied with boot. For the price I would recommend the boot.
Bought these boots for the wife. She literally fell in love with them right away. Comfy, warm, and no more numb toes. She loves it and it has just the right flex. Hardly any heel lift too.
These boots are the bomb. They start out very stiff but once they break in its ultra comfy, warm and responsive. Depending on how hard you ride, it may take a day or 3 to break in.
This boot is amazing! I have ridden in it several times and it is the best boot I have boarded with.
I bought these as my second pair of boots. I needed a stiffer pair than my first and a snugger fit as I am now an intermediate rider. I have narrow feet so heard burton boots were good for this. They did take a few days to break in which was fine since I work in snowboard boots. It was worth the pain! Once broken in they were great and did not require tightening several times a day like my first pair of K2s. I felt that my riding really improved. I havent yet used the boot heaters but I like the feature.
I bought this boot mainly because all mens models where out of stock. I got the boot quite late in the season when the weather was quite warm. I think the boot has way too soft flex and the fact that the inner boot only has laces half way up does not help. It might be a got starting boot in the mid winter when is really cold because that makes the boot stiffer but in the spring I think it has way too soft flex. A boot should not be comfortable the first day then the flex is going to be gone in a month. I have been riding with Driver and Ion boots for a while and these boots have a long lasting flex and are very supportive.
Boots fit great, I have a wide foot and find that these boots fit around my width. Breaking them in was a tad on the painful side, but they are grand now! Over all a great looking and feeling boot.
I found these boots to be a perfect fit for me. I can't remember the exact size I got, but I'm normally about a size 7-7.5 and these fit great. I normally have a lot of trouble with heel lift, as I've found I have narrow ankles. These boots fit me nice and snug, without cutting off circulation. Also, I normally get really cold feet (and hands), but these boots keep me toasty! I also like the stiffness of the boot, not too soft, but not too stiff.
When buying boots over the net, it's difficult because you cannot physically test them but these were spot on for my GF (we did however make a sizing mistake, we used her previous Burton boots size and had to order the next size up). The boots are an upgrade for her from Burton Mint boots, the liners are very soft and comfortable compared to the Mint. Breaking these boots in was a sinch.
My shoe size is usually 7 and it felt okay when I tried on boots of size 7. However, the size 7 still has space around my ankle and it didn't feel responsive enough while riding. I upgraded from Burton Mint to Sapphire, mostly because my Mint was size 7. With my new boots, they are very responsive and I never have to tighten them with so much efforts. They are well-shaped with the feet and ankles. The mechanism inside the boots somehow makes other fancy lacing systems pointless (Sapphire only has the very simple lacing mechanism). They are much lighter. I got White/Tan and the color looks wonderful.
I bought these boots at the beginning of the season. Day 1 in these was extremely painful although the boots fit like a glove - breaking them in hurt quite a bit. I couldn't wear snowboard socks in the so I wore some thin summer socks. After a couple days riding these boots they packed out and I could wear my snowboard socks. I've put about 50 days on these boots this season and I can now lift my heel inside the boot, they are very soft now and don't provide the support I expect from my boot. I ride aggressively and I feel like I already need new boots. I would recommend these to someone who does not get many days on snow, or for a beginner, or someone who purely rides park. I still very much like the boots, but wish they hadn't packed out so much and wish they had remained stiffer.
Once these boots are boken in, they are perfect. It took me about 3 good rides. They are very warm and look great!
I actually got the Burton Heated Sapphire Boots, which are boots you can add a portable heater to that warms up your liners. So far, I don't have any problems with the boots but I'm still having to break in the boots so at the narrowest part of my feet, it's a bit painful after a session of snowboarding. I'm not sure if it's because you have to break in all snowboard boots or perhaps I got shoes a bit small (when I first put them on, they feel fine). But overall, good shoes.
These are the comfiest boots. I rode a previous Sapphire for a few years and they were the best ever!! Overall a good boot. If you are looking for a comfy, easy to use boot straight off the bat, the Sapphire are a great choice. You won't have sore feet at the end of the day- love all that padding :) I'll probably buy them again this year. For those of you who shred every day, ski bums and instructors etc: I found these boots, unlike my previous Sapphires, blew out quite a bit by the end of the season. Perhaps half a size. Apparently Burton are making their boots a little softer now due to their EST system (which they say a softer flexing boot can handle well) maybe this is why? Cheers.

Protein Synthesis Help
Introduction Protein Synthesis
Within the cell nucleus are a number of chromosomes ( KROH -moh-sohms) or wormlike "colored" ( chrom ) "bodies." Each of these chromosomes, in turn, contains a number of tightly coiled DNA molecules. There are numerous genes or sections strung along the DNA molecules.
A single gene provides a chemical code for the synthesis of a particular protein. As Figure 5.4 shows, part of the DNA double helix unwinds, exposing a group of DNA codons ( KOH -dahns). These codons consist of sets of three chemical bases.
During transcription, a copy of the exposed DNA bases is made. A messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule then results. The mRNA molecule moves out of the nucleus, and onto the surface of a ribosome. A series of individual transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, each attached to a certain amino acid, also move towards the ribosomes.
The final major stage of protein synthesis is called translation. During this process, which occurs along the ribosomes, the nitrogen base language of the mRNA codons is translated or changed into the amino acid language of a certain protein.
The tRNA molecules match their bases up against complementary bases of the mRNA molecule. The amino acids attached at the other end of the tRNAs link together via peptide ( PEP -tide) bonds. The end result is a finished protein or polypeptide ( PAH -lee- pep -tide) – a combination of "many" (poly-) amino acids connected by peptide bonds in a coded order.
Each completed protein (polypeptide) detaches from a ribosome and begins to perform its special function within the cell.

A transient couple is in custody for allegedly plotting to kill two people after the death of the woman's nephew.
Authorities say 23-year-old Jessica Ann Griffin and 25-year-old Jerry Laverne Horne are being held on suspicion of two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
Griffin and Horne had their initial court appearances Thursday. They were ordered held on $250,000 bond apiece. Neither has a lawyer. Their preliminary hearings are scheduled for March 31.
Court documents say Griffin and Horne allegedly were seeking revenge on a couple they believe killed Griffin's 15-month-old nephew, Kaleb Sexton.
The boy was pronounced dead at a hospital Feb. 24 after he stopped breathing at a Phoenix hotel for unknown reasons.
Police say Griffin, the child's maternal aunt and main caregiver and Horne, her boyfriend, were with Kaleb when he died. They are investigative leads in his death.
We want to make it clear though -- nobody has been arrested for Kaleb's death, but as police investigate, they say two of Griffin's friends started blaming Griffin and Horne on Facebook for the toddler's death.
Police say the couple met with an undercover detective and asked him to kill two of their friends. The couple allegedly offered to steal four cars as payment for the killings.
Investigators arrested Griffin and Horne at a Walmart parking lot near Interstate 17 and Bell Road.

A lot of things are going to have to go wrong a lot of days in a row to keep the Phillies out of the playoffs. That probably won't happen, but Phillies fans would sure feel a lot better if a lot of things hadn't gone wrong last night. With a loss to the Braves and wins by the Mets and Brewers, the Phils hold on a playoff spot is suddenly a little less secure than it was a day ago.
But much in the same way that the Phillies haven't won anything yet, they certainly haven't lost anything yet either. They have four games to play and lead their division by a game and a half. Despite a tough game and some mistakes last night, they're playing fantastic baseball. They've won ten of their last 12.
Last night they made two big mistakes and didn't hit well enough to overcome them. Both of the mistakes came at third base. In the third inning, Kelly Johnson left too early trying to steal third. Hamels would have had him easily, but threw the ball away and Johnson came in to score on the error. Burrell made a big base-running mistake in the sixth that probably cost the Phils a run. With the Phils down 3-2 and Burrell on second, Victorino hit a ground ball to short. Burrell took off for third with the ball in front of him and was tagged out after a short rundown.
Not to be lost in last night's frustrations is that the Phillies pitched very well. Hamels was good and the bullpen was fantastic. The 24-year-old Hamels has now thrown 227 1/3 innings on the season and the one thing I can assure you of is that the Phillies are going to pay that bill sooner or later. Not last night, though. He was good, just like he's been just about all of the second half. Chad Durbin, who is also critical to the Phils, also got four outs without allowing a base-runner.
The Phillies lost to the Atlanta Braves last night, losing 3-2 to drop to 89-69 on the season. They are in first place in the NL East and lead the Mets by 1 1/2 games. The Mets lead the Brewers by one game for the Wild Card. The Phillies have four games left to play, the Mets and Brewers each have five.
Cole Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went seven innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk. Only two of the runs were earned. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and a home run. He struck out seven.
Opponents are now hitting .274 against him in September, which is somewhat alarming in the context of his numbers over his career (it's higher, you see). Hamels has thrown to a 2.84 ERA in his five starts this month.
Martin Prado doubled with one out in the first. Kelly Johnson was next and blooped a 2-2 pitch into center for a single. Prado scored without a throw to put the Braves up 1-0. Johnson stole second before Hamels walked Brian McCann to put men on first and second. Omar Infante popped to first for the second out. Hamels struck out Jeff Francoeur to end the frame.
Casey Kotchman started the second with a single with the game tied at 1-1. Brent Lillibridge struck out for the first out before the pitcher Mike Hampton bunted Kotchman to second. Josh Anderson was next and dribbled a ball out in front of the plate for an infield single that sent Kotchman to third, but Hamels got Prado to fly to right for the third out.
Johnson started the third with an infield single that took a bad hop on Howard. McCann flew to center for the first out before Infante singled to center, moving Johnson to second. Kotchman was next and Hamels had Johnson when Johnson took off for third too early, but threw the ball away. Johnson scored to make it 2-1 and Infante went to third. Hamels struck out Kotchman to leave Infante stranded.
Hamels threw a 1-2-3 fourth and a 1-2-3 fifth.
With two outs in the sixth, Kotchman pounded the first pitch of his at-bat out to right to put the Braves up 3-1. Lillibridge popped to second for the third out.
Ruben Gotay hit for Hampton to start the seventh and singled, but Hamels got the next three in order to leave him stranded. Rollins made a nice play for the first out of the inning — Anderson broke his bat and blooped a ball behind the mound, but Rollins made a nice play to get him at first and changed the inning.
Eyre started the eighth with the Phils down 3-2 and got McCann to ground to second for the first out. Durbin came in to pitch to the righty Infante and got him on a ground ball to third. Francoeur popped to short for the third out.
Durbin returned for the ninth and got the first two before switch-hitter Greg Norton hit for the pitcher Jeff Bennett. Romero came in to pitch to Norton and struck him out swinging to end the frame.
Two perfect innings for the pen. It was especially nice to see Durbin pitch well. He dropped his ERA for the month to 7.94 with a scoreless 1 1/3 innings. Durbin threw 12 pitches in the game, Eyre and Romero were both under five. The pen needed just 20 pitches to throw two perfect innings.
With the day off tomorrow, Manuel may have everyone in his pen available for tonight's game.
The Phillies lineup against lefty Mike Hampton went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Werth (4) Howard (5) Burrell (6) Victorino (7) Feliz (8) Ruiz. Feliz at third against the lefty. Ruiz catches.
Utley singled with one out in the first and the Phils down 1-0. Werth hit into a double-play behind him.
Howard started the second with a single and Burrell walked behind him. Victorino was next and he hit into a double-play with Howard moving to third with two down. Feliz was next and lined a 1-0 pitch into right to score Howard and tie the game at 1-1. Ruiz grounded to second for the third out.
Utley doubled with two outs in the third. Werth was next and hit a ball to second that Johnson didn't handle for an error that moved Utley to third. Howard walked to load the bases, but Burrell popped to third to leave the bases loaded.
Ruiz walked with two outs in the fourth. Hamels struck out to end the inning.
1-2-3 in the fifth.
Down 3-1 in the sixth, Howard led off and tripled into the right field corner. Burrell was next and blasted a double off the wall in center. Howard scored and it was 3-2. Victorino was next and hit a ground ball to short. Miserable base-running by Burrell got him caught as he took off for third and tagged out for the second out. Victorino was caught stealing for the second out before Feliz grounded to third to end the inning.
Yuck. The Phils gave away two outs on the bases in the inning.
The Phils went 1-2-3 in the seventh. Coste hit for Hamels and flew to right for the second out.
Howard walked with two outs in the eighth. Burrell grounded to third to end the inning.
Feliz walked with one out in the ninth. Golson ran for him at first. With the lefty Mike Gonzalez on the mound, Ruiz hit for himself and hit into a double-play to end the game.
It's tough to watch Ruiz hit in that situation. Righties on the bench for the Phils were Bruntlett, Cevernak, Iguchi, Taguchi and Marson. My initial reaction was that the Phils should have hit Iguchi and let Marson catch the tenth if it happened. I would have done it, just because I think Iguchi is a good hitter and Ruiz is a bad hitter, but the numbers don't really support that. Iguchi is hitting a miserable 169/256/221 against lefties this season. Ruiz 215/354/338.
It does illustrate a flaw in the Phillies roster — they need to have a better right-handed hitter available to them late in the game. Especially in games when Coste starts behind the plate.
Rollins was 0-for-4.
Utley 2-for-4 with a double. He's 4-for-his-last-10 with two doubles and a homer.
Werth 0-for-4 with a strikeout. 2-for-his-last-22 with two singles. The Phillies are going to have to do something about Werth, but probably not tonight with a lefty on the mound.
Howard was 2-for-2 with a triple and two walks.
Burrell 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and four men left on base. Big mistake on the bases.
Victorino 0-for-4 with a strikeout and a caught stealing.
Feliz 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. Big two-out hit in the second.
Ruiz 0-for-3 with a walk.
Brett Myers (10-12, 4.46) faces lefty Jo-Jo Reyes (3-11, 5.74) tonight. Over his last two starts, Reyes has gone 5 1/3 innings and allowed nine runs on 12 hits (including four homers) and two walks. He has a 9.00 ERA since the All-Star break. Righties are hitting .315 against him for the season. Myers got bombed on Friday against the Marlins, allowing ten run in four innings in just about his only bad start in an otherwise excellent second half of the season. He has a 2.77 ERA with a 1.09 ratio in 13 starts at home this season. In his 16 starts away from Citizens Bank Park he's thrown to a 6.21 ERA with a 1.61 ratio.
Big game tonight for the Phils. A loss would make things interesting in a way you're not really looking for.

Hundreds of Collier County students can now see clearly, with new glasses to help them focus in class.
Sixth grader Sofia Morales has been wearing broken glasses since fourth grade. Morales tried to super-glue them, but the glue stuck to the glass. The only way the frames stay on her face is through an elastic band she tied to the glasses.
"I couldn't see the board because I was in the back table and the super glue kept on going where the letters were," said Morales.
Today blurry turned to clear when she put on her new pair of frames.
"I felt awesome," said Morales. "I saw that it wasn't really blurry and I could see everything almost like a normal person."
Morales and one-hundred underprivileged students at Golden Gate Middle School got glasses for free; paid for by The Naples Children and Education Foundation with $750,000 raised at the Naples Winter Wine Festival. They'll fund free vision screenings and eye-wear for students at seven low-income schools across Collier County.
"I broke my last pair," said Beautismyth Legrand, a student at Golden Gate Middle School. "My mom didn't have enough money to buy a new pair."
Many students had never gotten their eyes checked, and didn't know they had a vision problem.
"Some of them were facing an obstacle they probably didn't even realize they were facing until they put the glasses on and realized the world can be a little bit clearer now," said Jon Bremseth, Principal at Golden Gate Middle School.
Each student received two pairs of glasses, one to take home and another to keep at school in case they lose or forget a pair at home. A way to make sure the kids can always focus on their learning.
"I like the style of the glasses, they just sharpen my vision," said Golden Gate Middle School student Darina Decembre. "It will help me stop asking students what's going on."

What is it?
The Gamut Mask is a great way to created harmonic color schemes. It simplifies your color choices and saves you lots of time and paint in achieving unified color palettes quickly and easily.
Who made it?
This Gamut Mask Tool was developed by me (Richard Robinson) and is provided to you free to use. The original concept of the Gamut Mask was developed by James Gurney (www.jamesgurney.com), artist and author of the fantastically illustrated Dinotopia books (www.dinotopia.com).
How do I use it?
Below are some samples of harmonic color schemes achieved by using the Gamut Mask. First I designed an image with a limited value study. Then I decided my most powerful color would be the orange in the foreground and I made a triangular mask with yellow orange as the dominant color, supported by a grayed red and a grayed green. I could have mixed intermediary colors located midway along the sides of the triangle, but I decided to keep it simple and mixed just three color strings of five values each. Then I removed all other colors from my palette so I wouldn't be tempted to dip into them, and painted the first little study (just 2.5" wide). Satisfied with that, I made two more studies, and you can see what different color schemes were achieved by the different gamut masks. Each painting is harmonious, yet each has a slightly different mood.

Corralejo is paradise for those travellers who enjoy the beach, warm weather and a variety of outdoor adventures. A holiday rental home in Corralejo gives you all of the comforts of home in a beautiful setting.
There is plenty to do in Corralejo, and much of it revolves around the beach. The beaches here are beautiful and one of the main attractions for many travellers. Spend your days relaxing on the sandy shore or swimming and taking part in a variety of other water sports. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring and the beautiful weather in Corralejo means that these outdoor activities can take place no matter what time of the year that you plan your visit.
In addition to the many outdoor activities, there are also a number of attractions in Corralejo. The La Lijta Zoo is quite popular. Whilst there are not as many different animals as one might find at other zoos, there are features of this zoo that continue to draw visitors year after year. One is the parrot shows. These large and colourful birds take centre stage whilst their handlers put on shows that are both entertaining and informative. Visitors of all ages will enjoy watching the parrots talk and perform a variety of tricks. The zoo also offers horseback rides and camel safaris where visitors can tour the zoo whilst riding on a camel. Travellers who enjoy history and architecture will appreciate a visit to La Oliva. Starting in the 1600's, rulers of the area would reside here. Today, the Governor's Townhouse, which has been fully restored, is open for visitors. The Royal Palace, located in nearby Aranjuez, was built in the 1700's. Visitors can explore parts of this well known castle and surrounding grounds whilst learning about some of the history that has taken place here.
Those who enjoy warm weather will love a holiday to Corralejo. Whilst the average winter temperatures in Spain get down to about 7 degrees, the average in Corralejo is much higher. The average rarely dips below 18 degrees and some months see average temperatures as high as 24 degrees. Rainfall is not much of a concern either and there is far less than the average for the country. Many months bring no rainfall at all. The winter, when the most rain tends to fall, brings a scant 25 to 35 mm per month.
The closest airport to Corralejo is Fuerteventura Airport (FUE), located 31 km away. Many travellers choose to take a ferry to the area with the nearest ferry arriving to Lanzarote, 34 km from Corralejo.

Bart Barlogie, M.D., Ph.D.
Director of the UAMS Myeloma Insititute
Multiple myeloma, a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells, is an incurable but treatable disease. Nationwide, the median survival rate of patients with multiple myeloma is only about four years. But at our UAMS Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the survival rate is closer to eight or nine years. Five-year survival rates at the Myeloma Institute are greater than 65% — nearly twice the average of any other treatment facility.
The UAMS Myeloma Institute is one of the largest centers in the world for research and clinical care related to myeloma and related disorders. Our institute has accomplished many feats under the leadership of Dr. Bart Barlogie, who is internationally recognized for his work on myeloma. We were the first to:
Our success in treating multiple myeloma patients is based on the findings of our research program. UAMS offers comfort to patients through the personalized treatment plans provided by our caring and compassionate medical staff.
Myeloma is the second most common blood cancer, but it is not a common cancer. This type of cancer is predominately found in older people; more than 80% of people with myeloma are 60 years old or older. Some of the symptoms of the cancer are:
The UAMS Myeloma Institute sees more patients with myeloma and related diseases per year than any other institution in the world. On any given day, there are more than 200 myeloma patients staying in Little Rock for diagnosis and treatment.

When Republicans last controlled the presidency and Congress, "the number of people on food stamps (and) the number of people in low-income housing went through the roof."
Says in 2000, Fox News broke the story of George W. Bush's drunk driving arrest. "Who broke it? Fox News."
On foreign policy, Joe Biden was against aid for Vietnam, said the fall of the Shah was "a step forward" for human rights in Iran, opposed Reagan's defense build-up and voted against the first Gulf War.
"Under President (George W.) Bush, prosecution of gun crimes was 30 percent higher than it is under President Obama."
"Test scores had gone up steadily for 40 years until No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top."
Says he "opposed the president's decision to go into Iraq" in 2003.
Says President Barack Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in," compared to 367 for President George W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.
"During the Bush administration, liberal groups were targeted" by the IRS, similar to recent targeting.
"When George Bush became president of the United States, 17 million people were in poverty. When he left, 30 million people were in poverty."
"Sheldon Whitehouse [got] a secret closed-door briefing, warning of the [2008 economic] crash."
Says U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson "admitted" that Washington, D.C., "changed" him into an insider selling his influence to make millions from powerful special interests.
Since President Barack Obama took office, "you have 1,700 employees just at the Department of Transportation" earning over $170,000.
"We've brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as the last administration."
Says Obama has "doubled the stock market from where we started when he was sworn into office"
Says for the first time in the history of the United States, the government cut taxes during wartime
The Bush tax cuts "helped to create a substantial part of the deficit."
Under former President George W. Bush's administration "while the population in that period grew by 10 percent, the number of jobs in the nation grew by 1 percent."
Tells President Barack Obama that he also asked former President George W. Bush about how he felt about Americans hating him.
"I asked (then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) how many people had died and she did not know the answer to that question."
Rob Portman's "plan to tax, slash and privatize" Social Security "would devastate Ohioans."

Awesome recipe, I cooked it in the slowcooker instead (and added 2 tsp liquid smoke to the beer mix to get that smokey taste) for 8-10 hours and followed the rest of the recipe exact. It is a regular in our house, and is also good in a quesadilla with cheese, dipped into sour cream and exra bbq sauce.
Memphis Pork and Coleslaw Sandwich
Photo: Randy Mayor; Styling: Leigh Ann Ross
If you've never eaten slaw on rather than with a sandwich, you're in for a treat. You'll need to start the pork and soak the wood chunks a day ahead; you can make the mustard-laced slaw a day in advance as well. If you'd rather not have sandwiches, serve the meat as is or use it to flavor baked beans.
Yield: 13 servings (serving size: 1 bun, 3 ounces pork, about 1/3 cup slaw, and about 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

- Preheat oven to 250°.
- Remove pork from grill. Wrap pork in several layers of aluminum foil, and place in a baking pan. Bake at 250° for 2 hours or until a thermometer registers 195°. Remove from oven. Let stand, still wrapped, 1 hour or until pork easily pulls apart. Unwrap pork; trim and discard fat. Shred pork with 2 forks.
- While pork bakes, prepare slaw. Combine onion and next 5 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon salt) in a large bowl. Add cabbage, and toss to coat. Cover and chill 3 hours before serving. Serve pork and slaw on buns with Memphis Barbecue Sauce.

text: Need-Based Aid We encourage you to apply for financial aid regardless of whether or not you feel you are eligible. This way, we can help you consider alternatives you might not have known existed. Plus, applying for financial aid is easy. We require only one form — the Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). File the FAFSA to Apply for Aid Next to your application for admission, the FAFSA is the most important application you can fill out. For the fastest and most accurate results, we encourage you to submit the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The FAFSA can be submitted beginning January 1, and students transferring to Drexel the following fall should submit it by May 1 to be considered for the maximum amount of aid. To make sure Drexel receives your financial information from the federal government, list Drexel University on the FAFSA. Drexel's FAFSA school code is 003256. For more detailed information about the process, review Drexel Central's How to Apply for Aid page. Federal Loans A student's financial aid package may also include federal student loans. This type of aid needs to be repaid. The federal government offers a variety of low-interest loans to both students and parents. Families must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to qualify. Learn about Loan Options. Federal College Work-Study Students who have demonstrated financial need may be awarded Federal Work-Study funds as part of the financial aid package. These funds are earned on an hourly basis through employment in approved Drexel Work-Study positions. The amount earned is not applied to the student's tuition bill but is paid to the student through a paycheck and is normally used for books, transportation, and personal expenses.

Two men in Rutherford County have been arrested after allegedly planning to have one of their wives shot and killed.
Pratakkumer Patel, 31, of Gallatin and Kalpesh Patel, 44, of Murfreesboro have each been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. The suspects are believed to be cousins.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was asked to investigate after information came in claiming the men had found someone to shoot Pratakkumer's wife Tuesday morning.
The TBI says the suspects paid a hitman $15,000 and provided information about the intended victim.
Pratakkumer Patel was booked into the Rutherford County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He has since posted that bond, but immigration is keeping him in custody. Kalpesh Patel was booked on a $130,000 bond and immigration also put a hold on him.
The TBI says Kalpesh Patel was already out on bond for an identity theft charge in Murfreesboro.
