"I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn't, not really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered, semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn't realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. Because it's the halves that halve you in half. I didn't know, don't know, about the in-between bits; the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of me."

Juror #2: It's hard to put into words. I just think he's guilty. I thought it was obvious from the word, 'Go'. Nobody proved otherwise.

Thinking Outside the BoxYou know that business about the box, and thinking outside the box?
What if it's a myth?
What if there is no box? What if there's you talking and your prospect listening … or not.
Think Seduction
A seduction metaphor is far more apt.
Chances are, you know a thing or two about seduction … you give a little information, but not enough for the … er, um, … prospect to make a go/no-go decision, and you certainly don't try to close the sale right up front. That little bit of information is enough to get the prospect to focus on what you have to say. Even if the prospect is interested, chances are he wants the seduction to continue … he wants to be wooed.
So, when (and only when) you have the prospect's attention, you give a little bit more information. That information clearly takes into account what you've learned about the prospect because now … you're having a dialogue.
Don't Just Spew
Ever tried seducing someone by just telling her everything she needed to know about you to make a decision? Of course not! You wanted a positive outcome, and you knew that a simple recitation of essential information was unlikely to yield that result.
See what I just did? There you were ready to hit the delete key, and I … got you to pay attention … to care about what else I had to say.
The problem with that old box metaphor is that it implies that if only you said the right words, your prospect would:
- 1. listen
2. care
3. open his checkbook
And that is the crux of the myth.
Even if you're shouting the right words over the side of that mythical box at your prospect, you're unlikely to have success engaging the prospect's attention because you're not creating desire on the part of the prospect and you're not … having a dialogue. Sure, some prospects are easy, and you'll want to grab that low-hanging fruit right away, but after you've got those, you'll have to work for the rest.
How do you engage your prospect in a dialogue?
Put Yourself in My Shoes ...
First, put yourself where your prospect is. What is he caring about when you come along? His mind was probably not a blank slate waiting for you to make your case. How do you manage the dialogue?
Part of seduction is keeping the prospect interested, so we'll talk about that next week. (Interested?)

1 Recalls & Safety Reports
Recall List for the 2012 Nissan Murano
Official recall notices have been issued for the 2012 Nissan Murano by the NHTSA. The complete details of all recalls are listed below, along with what they cover and the recommended solutions. It's important to note that most recalls won't cost you anything to get fixed, so if your car is affected you should call an authorized Nissan service shop immediately!
2012 Nissan Murano TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS NHTSA Campaign #12V068000
Summary: Nissan is recalling certain model year 2012 Murano and rogue vehicles, manufactured from November 23, 2011 through January 11, 2012. During assembly, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) was not activated. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 138, �tire pressure monitoring system.�
Consequence: A non-active TPMS cannot warn a driver that a tire is underinflated. Underinflated tires can result in tire overloading and overheating, which could lead to a blowout and possible crash.
Actions: All of the affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory. Dealers have been instructed to activate all of the tire pressure monitoring systems. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #12V068000 »

Among nine policy options included in the survey, the largest partisan gap is over creating a federal database to track gun sales. Fully 84% of Democrats favor the creation of a federal gun sale database, compared with 49% of Republicans.
Two proposals draw overwhelming support from Republicans, Democrats and independents — making private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks, and laws to prevent people with mental illness from purchasing guns.

Wrote this a bajillion years ago. Now, I live in a different city, a busier city, and I find that I still value slowness more than ever.
… … …
Over coffee and numerous cigarettes, I chatted away while he listened, occasionally nodding or giving out remarks of contradiction. He wanted to go home as soon as dinner was over but I managed to drag him to a nearby coffeeplace. It was early and I didn't want to go home yet. For him (and probably for a lot of people), sitting for a long period of time without anything real to do but sit, talk, sip coffee and inhale smoke is a waste of time—being idle like that is nonsensical, but I wanted to convince him that it's not. Because of my new job, my schedule has now allowed me to be part of the normal work hours. It goes like this: work, dinner, a time to clear my head before heading home, then a restful slumber for more than six hours every day. I wake up without feeling groggy or tired because I lack sleep. That moment of clearing my head acts as my de-stresser, it usually involves having dinner or coffee or a quick, aimless stroll at the mall. And I don't consider it a wasteful use of time. Perhaps doing it everyday does seem extravagant. I must admit I don't have that luxury, but I grab the chance as much as I can. I look forward to sharing how my day went to another person and listening to what transpired on theirs. Or perhaps simply using that "idle time" to just think about anything other than "I have a deadline on ___ and have to finish it by ___".
Conversations like what happened this evening are important to me. I value conversations in general—over ym, coffee talks, or inuman sessions (back in college, I looked forward to having long debates with my classmates over bottles of beer or rounds of tagayan). It gives me a chance to voice out any idea or opinion I have to another human being, and in turn, also learn something from them. It helps me have a better grasp of what's happening around me. People have always interesting things to say, no matter how seemingly trivial some stories are. Serious or comical, thought-provoking or fabrications, these stories are still theirs, and I always have something new to discover from them. It's a symbiosis kind of thing, really.
These stories are like documentaries happening right in your face, it just depends on how you'll make it useful as your own. Do you simply dismiss them? Maybe, if they seem irrelevant. Or perhaps you treasure them if you find them profound or inspiring. Why do we even read books, watch movies, listen to music, or get awed by amazing artworks? These all stemmed from a story, an experience from a person who's willing enough to share it. And I think we all have this certain need, a yearning, to be part of this loop: the sharer and the receiver.
But more often than not, these stories are revealed during a particular "idle time". It would be hard to imagine a great piece of literature or a phenomenal film done in haste. It takes a moment of reflection and remembering, dismissing the insignificant and dwelling on the essential. It's filtering the story before revealing the end product. These things are rarely slaves of speed.
Most people would shun the idea of being indolent, and would gear on having everything fast-paced. There's nothing wrong with this. After all, we are living in a modern world where everything is immediately accessible. But there's also something sweet about slowness, those small talks on coffee breaks, those casual, unmonumental conversations, endless debates, swapping stories, leisurely musings. You'll never know when something extraordinary might come out of it.

Wingsuit Belly Flop Off 872 Foot Bridge
Posted by aberdean on Oct. 17, 2011

Announcer: "Let's see, um..."
suprised he's not dead.
__militarylover.c om__ The first luxury Internet dating website and offers the highest quality dating experience available online.have a try,maybe you will love it!
Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot.
At Bridge Day 2011, Christopher Ryan Brewer belly flops off an 876 foot bridge. " I don't think was it was high enough gu...SPLAT!"
Now he knows what the bug feels like right after it hits the wide shield.
Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen........CANNONBALL
Price you pay for being stupid
did this man just break the world high dive record?
Idiot...idiot...idiot...idiot. THIS guy belongs in a kitchen.
dumb ass
malfunction my ass, he just pulled too low. his pilot came out fine just not enough time to open the main. way to go dumbass

Fart Robot Approves!
nah nah nahnahnahnah nah nah nah nahnahnahnah
i think he was starting to glide then he pussed out and pulled the shoot like thats gonna help 10 feet above the water
good, keep him in your trunk for fucks sake.
let me go next pleeeease
Doesn't seem to be much "wing" in that suit...
Brewer suffered a pelvic fracture, lung injuries and a spine injury. Emergency responders estimate Brewer struck the water at a speed between 60 and 80 mph, and that his wingsuit, designed to allow a jumper to glide forward instead of falling straight down, may have helped slow his descent.
Didn't work for Gilligan either.
He has a helmet cam on. I want to see that footage and hear the audio.
let's see um ya
Trust Fall
Looks like the wing suit worked just find. It was the parachute that malfunctioned
Did he dived?
he lived?
what a dick!!!!!!!!!
1. lay him on his stomach and remove his pants. 2. cup the genitals to check for stimulation 3. spread buttcheeks and insert pointer and middle finger to check for prostate integrity. 4. call 911...we can never be too sure.
no i will rape you!
skydivers fall at 195 figure the suit slowed him a little.
Go fuck your self at 247.937mph Skinny3720!
wow that is great skinny. you are still a giant d bag go fuck yourself at terminal v and delta v. your welcome
His welcome what?

the information needed to implement risk-management strategies aimed at reducing the potential for harm to human health and the environment. That feedback also informs the design, manufacture, and use of future ENMs.
The conceptual framework, described later in this chapter, reflects a coordinated, strategic research effort that is characterized by three key features:
• A reliance on principles that help to identify emergent, plausible, and severe risks resulting from designing and engineering materials at the nanoscale, rather than an adherence to rigid definitions of ENMs.
• A value-chain and life-cycle perspective that considers the potential harm originating in the production and use of nanomaterials, nanomaterial-containing products, and the wastes generated.
• A focus on determining how nanomaterial properties affect key biologic processes that are relevant to predicting both hazard and exposure; for example, nanomaterial-macromolecular interactions that govern processes ranging from protein folding (a basis for toxicity) to the adsorption of humic substances (that may influence mobility or bioavailability of the materials).
Environmental and human health risk assessment of nanomaterials is severely limited by lack of information on exposure to these materials (for example, information on fate, transport, and transformations) and on the hazards that they present. In contrast with previous research strategies that took a sequential approach to evaluating exposure and hazard for assessing nanomaterial-related risks, the committee's framework considers evaluations of hazards and exposure as processes that occur in tandem, and it accounts for the wide variety of matrices and transformations of nanomaterials along the value chain and across the life cycle (discussed in more detail later in this chapter).
The framework is to be implemented through a research agenda that begins with understanding how nanomaterial properties may affect fundamental processes—processes that are common in determining both exposures and hazards. By focusing on these processes, the goal of advancing exposure and hazard assessment under conditions of uncertainty can be addressed in a predictive and generalizable fashion that helps to inform decision-making on current and future nanomaterials. Knowledge of these processes has immediate applicability in comparing risks among materials and providing criteria for establishing priorities for research on nanomaterials that are on the market, for providing feedback on research needs and priorities, and for providing evidence needed to reduce the risks posed by nanomaterials that are on the market or are under development.
The sections below address the utility of risk assessment in framing a research strategy for the EHS aspects of nanomaterials, the conceptual framework that is informed by risk assessment, and the principles for setting priorities among research needs on the basis of the properties of nanomaterials.

SANTA CRUZ - Even a seasoned roller coaster aficionado walks away from the hair-raising Hurricane a little off-balance.
The steep climb up a narrow steel track followed by jolting sharp turns and a wicked spiral descent will be missed by adrenaline junkies as the Boardwalk's No. 2 roller coaster gets packed up next week and shipped to an amusement park in New Mexico.
Getting one last ride on Sunday were 40 members of American Coaster Enthusiasts, men and women who traveled from as far as Canada to say farewell to the Hurricane - a Boardwalk attraction since 1992.
"It's a short ride, but it's very intense, especially in that middle section where it whips you around," said Taylor Evans, a 17-year-old San Jose resident who shared the fun with his father, Matt Evans. "It gets me every time."
The Hurricane's last day of operation will be Sept. 3. Dismantling begins soon after that.
A new ride will go in its place, though Boardwalk officials have kept the details secret. The new amusement park ride, which should be up and running by next summer, will be announced at 10 a.m. today.
"We needed a new ride and we need the space," said Marq Lipton, the Boardwalk's vice president of marketing. "At an amusement park, you've got to keep updating the attractions."
American Coaster Enthusiasts, an international group of folks addicted to the thrill of a roller coaster, were told about the new ride by Boardwalk officials on Sunday, but were asked to keep a lid on the details.
The group had the Hurricane all to themselves for an hour on Sunday before the park opened.
La Selva Beach resident Nicholas Laschkewitsch is the assistant regional representative for American Coaster Enthusiasts. As a dedicated coaster fan, Laschkewitsch tries to visit the Boardwalk once a week.
The Boardwalk's iconic Giant Dipper is his all-time favorite ride, though the Hurricane isn't far behind.
"That drop in the middle is the best part. That's what really makes the ride," he said. "The tight spirals are really forceful stuff."
Paul Schroeder, 42, of Toronto was enthralled with the Boardwalk and the Hurricane.
As a longtime coaster junkie, he'd always wanted to visit the Boardwalk.
"It has a nice little punch for a little ride," Schroeder said about the Hurricane. "That diving turn in the middle is awesome. I loved that."
The Hurricane was listed for sale through a broker for $500,000. The final sales price was not revealed.
The last time the Boardwalk added a new ride was in 2010 with a revamp of the Haunted Castle. Before that, it was the Double Shot in 2005.

Bryan Singer's dreamy Superman Returns was as reverent as they come with regard to respecting the Richard Donner/Chris Reeves era of adaps.
For his new Superman, though, director Zack Snyder has revealed that he's taking the opposite approach, with his movie assuming "there's been no other Superman movies".
Speaking with Hero Complex, Snyder says that he's taking the Batman Begins approach to comic reboots with Superman, beginning with a completely fresh slate.
"Literally, the one thing that everyone can start to think about is that we're making a movie that finally goes with the approach that there's been no other Superman movies," Snyder confirms.
"If you look at Batman Begins, there's that structure, there's the canon that we know about and respect, but on other hand there's this approach that pre-supposes that there haven't been any other movies.
"In every aspect of design and of story, the whole thing is very much from that perspective of respect the canon, but don't be a slave to the movies."
For more from Snyder, including what he says about his working relationship with Chris Nolan, head over to Hero Complex.

The new all-electric BMW i3 is a landmark in BMW's mission to provide a completely sustainable, electric vehicle that still stays true to the Ultimate Driving Machine moniker. The BMW i3 is the first product of the new BMW i sub-brand, and is a truly purpose built electric car. It's a new era for electro mobility at BMW.
The vehicle concept behind the BMW i3 was designed from the outset to incorporate an all-electric drive system. This has numerous advantages over "conversion" vehicles, in which the original combustion engine is swapped for an electric motor. The engineers can design whatever works best, in terms of construction, dimensions and configuration of the electric drive system's components. The car's development is dictated by the characteristics designed into the car by the development team and not by the constraints imposed by a pre-existing vehicle design. For example, the space in a conversion vehicle set aside for the fuel tank or exhaust system cannot be used. In the BMW i3 there is no need for this kind of compromise.
This leads to the LifeDrive architecture concept, which was purpose-built specifically for the BMW i3. It is comprised of two modules; the Life Module, and the Drive Module. Think of the Life Module as the passenger cabin, or greenhouse. It is the first-ever mass produced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) passenger cell in the automotive business, and is a big factor in the cars efficiency. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic is equally as strong as steel, while being 50% lighter, and 30% lighter than aluminum. The result is an electric car that weighs about 2,700 lbs (preliminary US figures).
Due to the lightweight, high tensile strength of CFRP, the passenger cell has added protection, and the battery has less work to do, which allows for the use of a smaller, lighter battery that saves even more weight, reduces charging time and increases range. The light weight design of the Life Module also lowers the BMW i3's center of gravity, making it a more engaging and dynamic car to drive.
The Drive Module, which is constructed out of 100% aluminum, consists of the 22-kWh, 450 lb. lithium-ion battery, electric drive train, MacPherson strut and 5-link rear suspension system and structural and crash components. The battery mounted in the rear, close to the drive wheels, gives impressive performance characteristics while also providing better traction.
Another benefit of the LifeDrive architecture concept is that there is no space-consuming transmission tunnel running through the center of the car, like in most internal combustion powered cars, because of the separate Drive Module. This gives the BMW i3 the interior space of the BMW 3 Series, while only having the footprint of the much smaller BMW 1 Series.
Even the vehicle's key is sustainably manufactured. The source material of the new bio-polymer key is based on castor oil pressed from castor seeds. The owner's manual is also made from renewable resources.
The interior is made using high quality renewable sources and recycled materials. The BMW i3 has the Next Premium interior, which blends sustainable resources with a premium feel for the same interior quality as the BMW 5 Series Sedan. 25% of the plastics in the interior and 25% of the thermoplastic parts on the exterior are made from either recycled materials or renewable sources.
According to studies carried out as part of BMW's Project i, involving more than 1,000 participants and conducted over some 12.5 million miles, it was revealed that the average daily distance covered was around 30 miles. The BMW i3 will be able to travel 80 to 100 miles on a single charge. This can be increased by up to approximately 12% in ECO PRO mode and by the same amount again in ECO PRO+ mode. It is able to recharge in only 3 hours with the use of a 220V Level 2, 32-amp J1772 charger. The SAE DC Combo Fast Charging, which charges the BMW i3 up to 80% in 20 minutes, and 100% in 30, can be had as an option.
In order to reduce range anxiety, a rear-mounted 650cc, 34 hp, two-cylinder, gasoline-powered Range Extender generator is available, which roughly doubles the vehicle's range. When the battery gets to a certain level, the Range Extender starts and maintains the battery's current state of charge. The Range Extender never directly drives the vehicle's wheels. The Range Extender adds roughly 330 lbs. to the vehicle curb weight and has a fuel capacity of 2.4 gallons.
Since 1999 according to the DOE, average gasoline prices in America have increased from approximately $1.136 to $3.618, or about a 218%. In the same time, the pricing of electricity has increased from 6.6 cents to 9.9 cents, a change of only 50%, making electricity a far more attractive commodity from a pricing standpoint.

(6) Chargers (9-7) @ (3) Bengals (11-5) – Sunday, 1:00PM at Paul Brown Stadium (37 degrees, 100% precipitation, snow)
The last time the Bengals won a playoff game, George H. Bush was in office, 23 years ago. The Chargers return to the playoffs for the first time since 2009, after winning four straight AFC West titles. Phillip Rivers is 3-4 in his postseason career, but will have to do it on the road Sunday. The Bengals were 8-0 at Paul Brown Stadium this season. San Diego is lucky to have got in to the playoffs after the refs missed what should have been a penalty on them on Ryan Succop's missed field goal that would have won the game.
Andy Dalton has been miserable in the past two postseasons against the Texans, throwing no touchdowns and four interceptions while getting sacked six times. Dalton has been up-and-down all season for this Bengals team that won the AFC North with a 11-5 record. Their defense was a big reason for that, giving up just 19 PPG and finishing 5th in the NFL against the run and pass. Despite Dalton's struggles, he did have the best season for a QB in Bengals franchise history. They will need some production from their backfield duo of Giovani Bernard and BenJarvus Green-Ellis in what should be a snowy day in Cincinnati.
Weather will be a factor in this game, and the advantage has to go to the team that plays in the cold.
San Diego comes into the playoffs hot, but winning in the snow against a fierce defense is going to be hard for Rivers. This game should be close and low scoring because of the snow, but the home team with the top-five defense gets the edge in this matchup. The once 5-7 Chargers were lucky to even sneak in to play January football after the missed field goal and missed call last week. There's no denying how good of a season Rivers had, leading he NFL in completion percentage and throwing 32 TDs, but it's a whole different story in frigid temperatures in the snow.
The Chargers will make this game very interesting and it wouldn't be surprising to see this game go to overtime. The Bengals 23-year drought without a playoff win finally comes to an end on a snowy Sunday in Ohio. Mike Nugent will knock down a game-winning field goal at the end of regulation to send the Chargers packing.

Steve Smith WR BAL Nov 18 '1210 Comments
Steve Smith caught five passes for 61 yards in the Panthers' Week 11 overtime loss to the Bucs.
Midway through the second quarter, Smith appeared to corral his second touchdown catch of the season. But referees correctly threw a flag for offensive pass interference and it turned out that Smith dislocated a finger on the play. He went to the locker room, got it popped back into place and finished the game out with no problems. Smith has a good chance to snap out of his recent funk against the Eagles' rancid defense in Week 12.
Fred_G_Sanford Nov 21 '12
Does Steve Smith have a vested interest in Flea Flicker? He's burnt me week after week based on bogus projected points that he'd be lucky to make 1/4 of. I'm done with him till further notice and who ever is in charge of his stats/outlook on here needs a reality check!
SnakeStabler Nov 20 '12
Why does Fleaflicker have this guy still listed as OUT?
blackcomedy Nov 21 '12
yeah what the hell? i know he dislocated a finger in the game but he played the rest just fine
jcomegys Nov 20 '12
It will be quite a feat to "snap out of his funk" since it shows he's out for week 12.
Displayname1 Nov 20 '12
He left the game so they listed him as out. It takes a while for them to change his status back. He'll play.
blackcomedy Nov 21 '12
he left the game for just a bit to go to the locker room to fix his finger and he played fine after that showing no signs of pain, seems odd to list him as out for that

Dragic, Suns down Blazers
Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Goran Dragic scored 16 points and dished out a career-high 18 assists to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 102-98 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Luis Scola added 18 points Wesley Johnson scored 14 points off the bench for the Suns, who put the brakes on a four-game skid.
J.J. Hickson scored 25 points and pulled down 16 rebounds, while Damian Lillard added 24 points and seven assists for the Trail Blazers, losers in six straight.
Phoenix led 94-82 with just under seven minutes left, but the Blazers used a 16-6 burst to pull within 101-97 with just 20.5 seconds left.
A highlight-reel layup from Lillard sparked the run. The exceptional rookie took the ball on the left wing, shook a double team and headed to the basket. Lillard was met in the air by another pair of Suns' defenders, but twisted his body to maneuver between them before finishing the play with a reverse layup.
Lillard then drained a 3-ball with just under four minutes left to make it 92-86.
The Suns scored the next four points, but Nicolas Batum drained a trey to pull Portland within 100-95. Nolan Smith then split a pair from the free-throw line and LaMarcus Aldridge sunk two free throws to make it a two-point game.
Dragic then drained a pair from the charity stripe to push the spread to four points.
Lillard and Batum each missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds, and the Suns held on for just their sixth road victory of the season.
Phoenix led 36-23 after the first 12 minutes and took a 63-47 lead into the break. The Blazers outscored the Suns 26-21 in the third to cut the deficit to 84-73 entering the final frame.
Game Notes
The Suns are 6-23 on the road this season ... Phoenix scored 21 points off 18 Portland turnovers ... Aldridge scored 23 points for the Blazers ... Portland was without guard Wesley Matthews because of a left ankle injury.

Supermodel Kate Moss & superfreak beau Pete Doherty have finally put some damn confirmation into their rumored engagement, which is more like a rumored engagment if you ask me.
At a recent Babyshambles concert, Pete dedicated a song to his ladyfriend Kate, his new fiancee.
The concert in east London's Hackney Empire saw Pete yell, "I am dedicating this song…â€Â  And this is where the crowd erupted replying, "Kate! Kate!" before Pete got a chance to finish his sentence.
But Doherty was able to get out the words, "Yes, to my beautiful fiancee,†before he wrestled a song out of his lungs.
God, if this doesn't spell disaster, I don't know what does!
You tell me, is a Kate Moss & Pete Doherty really a good idea?

First off, I want to point out that our new GoodReads Giveaway is now live. Between now and December 15th, you can enter to win one of fifteen copies of 18% Gray by Zachary Karabashliev that we're going to be giving away. By now, you probably know the drill, but if you're a GoodReads member (and if not, why not?) just click on the button below. [Note: This giveaway is for U.S. GoodReads members only. Sorry.]
That said, since !8% Gray makes such a great gift for the holidays—especially for people interested in road novels or Bulgaria, as well as your easily confused friend/relative who is way into all the "Gray" titles involving a bit of the sex—and since we already have our copies back from the printer, we'll ship these books out ASAP to anyone who orders from us directly.
18% Gray was co-winner of the Contemporary Bulgarian Writers award, and was chosen by Bulgarian readers as one of the top 100 "most loved books" as part of the BBC's The Big Read. It's funny, touching, sexy, and is currently being made into a movie. At it's core, it's a really moving road novel about loss that also involves a huge bag of marijuana.
Giveaway ends December 15, 2012.
See the giveaway details at Goodreads.
On a separate GoodReads note, the 2012 GoodReads Choice Awards were announced today.
Now, as much as I love GoodReads, and as much as I love the idea of polling actual readers about the books they love, it has to be pointed out that the downfall of crowdsourcing an award is that you end up with J. K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy winning the fiction award.

It can be tough for a company to decide how and where to market a video card in today's demanding retail environment. Price something too high and only a brave few might purchase the card; price it too low and it could be dismissed as a low-end or budget card by some consumers, regardless of its value proposition. These issues can typically determine where said card can be purchased. It's no coincidence that large resellers like Best Buy or Circuit City typically only carry merchandise under a certain price point, as this is where the bulk of sales are generated.
The flip side to this situation is maintaining the leadership in a two-way contest at the high-end. Every couple of months NVIDIA and ATI typically duke it out to create the fastest card possible. This results in the highest-end cards coming out first, which are then followed by the more mainstream variants. This is where we find the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT, a card based on the powerful R580 core, but clocked down to bring the price to a more acceptable level. The X1900 GT also has 12 shader units and 4 ROPs disabled for a total of 36 and 12, respectively. And as we've just mentioned, its GPU core and memory frequencies are reduced to 575/600MHz (an XTX is rated at 650/775MHz and an XT at 625/725MHz).
Although the X1900 GT may be targeted at the mid-range market segment, the accompanying bundle was anything but average. Whereas other manufacturers tend to shy away from adding a complete assortment of goodies as a cost-saving measure, Sapphire hasn't skimped on anything here, whether it's the included software, bundled games, or cables and other attachments.
Starting with the media, two titles come by the way of Cyberlink, PowerDVD 6 whichi is one of the better decoding software packages out there, and PowerDirector 4. The next CD provides buyers with a choice: pick any two of four available games from a list including: Tony Hawk's Underground 2, Richard Burns Rally, Prince of Persia - Warrior Within, or Brothers In Arms (Road to Hill 30). This assortment covers just about all of the major genres, so there should be something for everyone.
There was also a collection of cables and adapters included with the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT, exactly matching what we've seen included with the upscale XTX. This included a standard 6-ft S-Video cable, a composite video cable, and two DVI-to-VGA adapters along with a splitter for connecting the card to an HD-TV's components inputs, and another adapter equipped with S-Video and composite video inputs and outputs. Lastly, there was a molex-to-6-pin PCI Express power cable adapter thrown in as well, useful for older power supply units lacking such a connection.
|A closer look at Sapphire's X1900 GT
Sapphire's take on the Radeon X1900 GT should look somewhat familiar, as it is based on ATI's reference design. Built on the ubiquitous red PCB that most ATi vendors are fond of using, the card is long and hefty, although not much more than expected. This weight comes from the copper and aluminum heatsink installed on the card. Although a tad heavy, the heatsink is otherwise slim and should not create and clearance problems when installing other cards, or if used in a Crossfire setup.
One of the most telling observations that prove there is little if any difference from the reference ATi model requires one only to look around the edges of the Sapphire decal affixed to the heatsink. It might be a bit hard to tell in the close up shots below, but directly behind the metallic robot from Sapphire's artistic group is none other than Ruby herself. To brand the card as their own, Sapphire simply installed a custom decal and bundled it with their own software. There's hardly anything wrong with this approach, and should the X1900 GT prove to be a winner, we wouldn't be surprised to see a more customized version hit the market somewhere down the road.
Situated within the heatsink assembly is a relatively small fan that we wouldn't consider loud by any means. Even when overclocked or otherwise tasked, the fan never seemed to ramp up and whine loudly as we were expecting it to do. Small fans by there very nature typically spin quickly and can give users an earful when rotating at higher RPM. Thankfully, the one installed on the X1900 GT was never even noticeable over the typical noise generated by an air-cooled PC.
Along with the quiet operation of the fan, there also was a single strip of aluminum towards the back end used to help cool down some components in the VRM. At either end of the card are the connections that have become the norm for today's graphic cards. At one end we've got a 6-pin power connector necessary to give enough juice to keep the frames rolling by, and at the other end are two dual-link DVI ports as well as an video in/video out connector.
|Test System and 3DMark05 Scores
HOW WE CONFIGURED THE TEST SYSTEM: We tested the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT on a MSI P4N Diamond motherboard, powered by an Intel Pentium 4 550 processor and 1GB of low-latency Corsair XMS2 DDR2 memory. The first thing we did when configuring this test system was enter the BIOS and loaded the "High Performance Defaults." The hard drive was then formatted and Windows XP Professional with SP2 was installed. When the installation was complete, we installed the latest nForce 4 chipset drivers, installed all of the other necessary drivers for the rest of our components, and removed Windows Messenger from the system. Auto-Updating and System Restore were then disabled, the hard drive was defragmented, and a 1536 MB permanent page file was created on the same partition as the Windows installation. Lastly, we set Windows' Visual Effects to "best performance," installed all of the benchmarking software, and ran the tests.
Sapphire's X1900 GT scores an early impressive win in 3DMark05, besting the 7900 GT by a decent amount. The approximate 300 point difference between the two cards amounts to a 4% boost in performance for the X1900 GT. We noted, however, that the difference in core clock speed between the two cards (575MHz vs. 520MHz) is more on the lines of 10%, something to consider when we move on to the other benchmarks.
|3DMark06 Scores
The tabled turned in favor of the 7900 GT using 3DMark06. Here, the X1900 GT actually trails the 7900 GT by 399 points.
The Shader Model 2.0 and 3.0 scores, show a clear advantage for NVIDIA's camp, and the differences here account for the entire point spread in the overall score. The 7900GT easily handles the X1900 GT in these tests.
|Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory v1.05
Splinter Cell : Chaos Theory makes great use of Shader Model 3.0 based graphics, and out of all four cards only the GeForce 7900 GT comes out unscathed. While the 7900 GT was getting as high as 95 frames per second in the default 1280x1024 test, the other three were all hovering in the 70's, with the X1900 GT at least making some progress over the X1800 XL. Matters were made worse for the X1900 GT at the higher resolution, where Sapphire's card slipped not only behind the 7800 GT, but the older X1800 XL as well.
|X3 Rolling Demo
In the X3: Reunion Demo, we again see that high clock speeds do not necessarily overcome architectural deficiencies: in this case, fewer of pixel pipelines. As such, the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT fails to overtake any of the cards other than the 7800 GT, which is not only the slowest card in terms of core and memory speeds here, but is also handicapped by missing a vertex pipeline. Still, the variances in this benchmark are rarely more than a couple of frames per second.
|F.E.A.R. v1.0.5
We've pointed out how well the GeForce cards do in F.E.A.R. in past reviews, and the news remains the same (or worse) for the mid-range Radeons here as well. While initial testing at 1280x960 and 1600x1200 showed a little promise for Sapphire as its card bested the X1800 XL and the 7800 GT at the higher resolution, its frame rates completely dropped off the map when AA and Aniso were enabled.
|Quake 4 v1.2
Quake 4 results were similarly one-sided in NVIDIA's favor, closely mirroring what we have seen in many of the other games used for benchmarking. The 7900 GT remains the mid-range card to beat as it posted the best frame rate in all four tests. Sapphire's X1900 GT came in as a distant third, nearly 25% off of the pace at lower resolution testing, but then really gets hammered at 1600x1200, where it can't even keep up with the previous generation Radeon.
|Half Life 2: Lost Coast
Half Life breathes a little wind into Sapphire's sails, as their card easily dominated the lower-res benchmarks regardless of whether or not we had anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering enabled. In both cases, the X1900 GT bested the 7900 GT by 6 frames per second, and the 7800 GT anywhere from 8-10 frames. However, the X1900 GT faltered somewhat during the higher resolution testing. There, the 7900 GT asserted its leadership of the mid-range cards, with the X1900 GT and 7800 GT running nearly neck-and-neck.
|Overclocking the Sapphire X1900GT
Since the X1900 GT is based on the same core as the XT and XTX models, we knew there would be plenty of headroom for overclocking, and we weren't overly disappointed. Our final overclocking results came out to be 635MHz for the core, and 665MHz for the memory. These increases were 60MHz and 70MHz, respectively, over their default speeds. For the GPU, at least, we're now placed firmly between the X1900 XT and XTX speeds, which is a welcome bonus.
While the overclocked speeds sounded pretty decent, the returns were only modest. The overall 3DMark06 score jumped up 178 points, about a 4 percent increase. We also managed to gain an extra two frames per second while benchmarking F.E.A.R. at the most demanding settings - 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 8xAniso. Both tests fell well shy of the greater than 10% overclock on the core that we had achieved, however.
|Benchmark Analysis & Conclusion
Performance Summary: Forgoing its early victory in 3DMark05 and relatively strong showing in HL2: Lost Coast, the Sapphire X1900 GT didn't fare too well in the rest of the benchmarks. In fact, in some of our higher resolution tests the X1900 GT barely beat out the older X1800 XL and GeForce 7800 GT. With their price points being nearly equal as of today, we have to give the edge to NVIDIA's GeForce 7900 GT as our current mid-range graphics card of choice.
Upon first inspection, the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT is intriguing considering it is based upon the excellent R580 core, albeit with lower clock speeds and fewer pixel shader processors and ROPs. Then we opened the box and found what was a nice assortment of games, multimedia software, and cables that seemed to signify that this was more of a high-end product.
However, once we got down and dirty with the benchmarks, we weren't terribly impressed with the numbers, especially when compared to the competition. In all but a handful of tests, the 7900 GT not only beat the X1900 GT, but beat it handily. The numbers were much more favorable when compared to the older 7800 GT, or the X1800 XL, but those aren't the cards the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT will do battle with over the long run. When evaluating a relatively new product like this, we want to see how it fares against the competition's latest as well, and the Radeon X1900 GT just doesn't compare favorably to the GeForce 7900 GT at their current price points. Of course, this situation is likely to change over time, but for now the 7900 GT is the better value. With an average retail price of $289, the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT is a bit overpriced and underpowered in comparison to the GeForce 7900 GT, even though Sapphire's offering is one of the least expensive X1900 GTs around. This is good video card that just happens to be a bit overpriced at this time. We're giving the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT a 7.5 on the Heat Meter.

The right age to have s.e.x...
What is it, in your opinion? i mean, i hear all of the time that people think it's up to the individual, but i also hear girls getting s.l.u.t-shamed and that 13 and 14 year olds having s.e.x is wrong.
- Asked by An Arty Girl, Girl, 17, Artist / Musician / Writer
I think you should be married to the love of your life <3.
- Response by A Social Butterfly, Girl, 16
I, personally, say 18+ because I don't believe in sex before marriage. It all depends on your thoughts and beliefs though.
- Response by MjrFanGrl15, An Arty Girl, Girl, 17, Student
For me, I am waiting until I am married to have sex. It isn't some religious thing, I just feel like getting to know a person that intimately is meant for when you truly know you can trust them.
- Response by plinley0, A Trendsetter, Girl, 18-21, Artist / Musician / Writer
At least 17...:)
- Response by A Social Butterfly, Girl, 18-21, Los Angeles, Student
Honestly, I dont believe in an actual age to wait. It all depends on your maturity age. I also have a rule that you have to be in a loving and committed relationship for about a year before you do that. Not so save the relationship, but to strengthen it.
- Response by honeylizzlizz, An Arty Girl, Girl, 16, Student
I believe that the right time to have sex is when you are ready and completely trust the person that you are with. I was ready to have sex at 17 years old but the guys i was with I did not completely trust and I honestly regret it.Just make sure you truly love the person you are with. I believe that I should have waited until I was with someone I really love and trust with all my heart and a guy who is patient with me and does not pressure me. I honestly think the right time to have s.e.x is when you really love the person and they love you dearly or till you are married.

Then again, her band doesn't seem to have a message. "Truthless", for example, makes a vague reference to "Poker machines and soccer moms / The ten commandments on the side of a bomb", but the words sound as if they were chosen as much to fit into the song's rhyme scheme as for their political connotations. Nor does the music help -- it's just track after track of joyless, plodding blues rock. The only exception is "Animal Planet", in which The Crimes of Ambition incorporate a bit of a rockabilly edge; for once, Blue actually sounds like she's enjoying herself. It's the high point on an otherwise tedious album, and you'll wonder why they don't do it more often.

Ugh I love Joel, but I miss Nick in Get Scared. I just miss how he used to be.
I mean, I'm sure Get Scared's new music is going to be amazing. &I can't wait. I've just been really upset lately about this with everything going on. I was really looking forward to My Black and White, and I'm sure many other people were also. I thought there was some hope left for Nick. But no. He decides to ditch that idea, and join Blacklisted Me. Just.. why? I can't even listen to anything on Best Kind of Mess anymore without getting upset. Can't.
Anyway, I took this picture last October when I saw Get Scared for the 2nd time on their headlining tour .-.

Category: Ethnic, Folk & Native American Art
These are a pair of Kokeshi Dolls that a friend brought to me about 13 years ago from Japan. They are in the image of a man and woman, both painted in bright colors of maroon, green, grey, white and more. They have decoration all around the front and sides, with their backs remaining solid in color. I believe that they stained the upper parts of the wood to achieve the maroon color, but not sure. These are of a good size measuring at 8- 1/2 inches tall for the man, 7 inches tall for the woman. They are damage free with exception of some small markings along one side of the man, you can see them in the second picture, and they do not take from the look of this item. Have been well cared for and will come from a smoke free home. Made of a nice weighty wood. |

text: ABC's Martha Raddatz: Obama Attending My Wedding 'Had Nothing to Do with' VP Debate Performance Print article Send a Tip by Matthew Boyle 28 Jan 2013 post a comment ABC News chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz said Monday evening that the fact President Barack Obama attended her wedding to her now ex-husband Julius Genachowski—Obama's Federal Communications Commission chairman—"had nothing to do with what I did at the debate." Raddatz moderated the only vice presidential debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP vice presidential nominee, in the 2012 campaign. Neither she nor the Commission on Presidential Debates disclosed to the public that she was once married to an Obama cabinet official or that the president attended that wedding. Raddatz' denial of any wrongdoing came during a question and answer session after a National Press Club event Monday night at which she and two other 2012 campaign debate moderators discussed their views on the debate process. CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer and PBS anchor Jim Lehrer both also attended. CNN anchor Candy Crowley was scheduled to attend, but canceled at the last minute due to a family emergency. Breitbart News asked Raddatz: Do you think – there was obviously a little bit of a kerfuffle ahead of the vice presidential debate about the fact that the president attended your wedding to the FCC chairman. Do you think that that was handled right and given a second chance would you have done it a little differently? Raddatz responded: I didn't do anything. I mean, I didn't have to handle that. It was – and I'm really not going to comment about that. That was something that happened two days before the debate. It had been in The New York Times quite a while before that, I believe. I just got to put this out of my head. That had nothing to do with what I did at the debate. Nothing. Raddatz was at least partially misleading with her answer. The New York Times did mention in a profile of her as a foreign correspondent—that ran in the "Fashion" section almost a full year before the debate she moderated—that Raddatz was once married to Genachowski. The Times did not disclose in that story that Obama himself attended that wedding between Raddatz and Genachowski. A search of the Times website did not yield other stories where that topic came up. ABC News spokesman David Ford only admitted that the president attended Raddatz' wedding while the network and Raddatz were under intense scrutiny ahead of the vice presidential debate. ABC tried to kill the story—reported first by The Daily Caller's Josh Peterson—by leaking statements to Politico, the Daily Beast, and the Huffington Post before Peterson even published a story. ABC's statement called reporting on the deep personal ties Raddatz had to the president ahead a debate she was moderating "absurd." The left-leaning Huffington Post called ABC's tactics "unusual." Raddatz' failure to disclose the conflict of interest appears to be a violation of the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, a written body of rules by which journalists are supposed to abide. In the section of the ethics code that says journalists are to "Act Independently" a clause states that journalists must: "Disclose unavoidable conflicts." ABC News and the Commission on Presidential Debates both defended her, as did many mainstream reporters. Raddatz' performance as a debate moderator was widely panned by conservatives as unfair, including Ryan's own campaign spokesman. When Ryan spokesman Michael Steel—who has since returned to being House Speaker John Boehner's spokesman—was asked, "So you think she made it fair, would you say?", he responded that: "I'm not sure I would say that."

Christmas is in the air and is on its way to Dickens Junction in Christopher Lord's first novel, "The Christmas Carol Murders." Simon Alistair, owner of the local bookstore Pip's Pages, is close to being the First Citizen of the little town; his grandfather designed Dickens Square shortly after Dickens Junction came into being. It is a pedestrian area lined with shops such as Cricket's Hearth, the Crystal Palace Tearoom, Simon's bookstore, Pickwick's Pilates and, of course, The Old Curiosity Shop.
All the merchants are busy with preparations for the evening tableaux, a traditional display of four scenes from Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," to be staged that evening. Before Simon leaves his store to go home and get dressed for his part, he is visited by a stranger, Mervin Roark, who buys a copies of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and Dickens five Christmas books. Before leaving, he gives Simon his card, which says, "Marley Enterprises, Mervin Roark, Acquisitions." It has a large dollar sign in one corner, Ayn Rand's brand. Simon dislikes him at first sight.
Later in the day, Simon meets Zach Benjamin, a "model-handsome" journalist led to Pip's Pages by an ad in a gay and lesbian travel magazine. He is in Dickens Junction on assignment, and Simon happily points out things he should see and agrees to meet him for a drink later in the evening. Simon's partner left town, so he is single once again, and Zach looks interesting. Before they have that drink, Mervin Roark is dead, murdered with a nail gun.
Zach encourages Simon to work on finding the murderer saying: "Don't you know this town – these people – better than the police do? You have to investigate and bring the killer to justice." Simon starts questioning everyone – even close friends – and before long, another murder takes place, complicating matters. The once-quiet town of Dickens Junction is now the venue of a serial murderer.
Lord has created an entire community of interesting characters with back stories (think Cabot Cove, Maine in "Murder, She Wrote"), plausible situations and abounding motives. The economy has been depressed in this small Oregon coastal town, so everyone except Simon, who is independently wealthy, has a financial motive for skullduggery. Even so, it is hard to think that any one of them is capable of murder. They are all friends, sharing information about everyday events, families, business, romance and everything else. Simon soon finds out that Mervin Roark approached everyone but him about buying their property and no one knows why, except that he was clear that "everything will change." To add to the mystery, two more strangers arrive in town billing themselves as Objectivists – Ayn Rand's philosophy – and saying that the murders are just another example of "the government gone awry." What does that mean?
Simon is very protective of the character of "his" town and is convinced that Roark was up to no good. And what is this sudden interest in Ayn Rand? Why didn't Roark approach Simon, who owns more property than anyone else? What were his plans for the town?
What this all adds up to finally is a delightful, cozy tale that leaves the reader waiting for the next book and the adventures of Simon and his friends and neighbors.

A look at GM's technical innovation centers
Monday - 10/8/2012, 6:12pm EDT
By The Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) - GM plans to hire 10,000 computer workers at four technology innovation centers across the country. It's part of a plan to bring 90 percent of GM's computer technology into the company from outside firms to put GM on the cutting edge.
The company has announced the sites of the first two centers, in Austin, Texas, and suburban Detroit, but it won't comment on the other two.
Here are details of the first two centers:
AUSTIN, Texas: GM picked the home of the University of Texas because of its rich base of high-tech workers. The Austin metropolitan area is home to a big technology community that includes computer maker Dell Inc. GM's center already is open with a skeleton staff, but the company plans to hire about 500 people there in the next three-to-five years.
WARREN, Mich.: The suburb just north of Detroit already is home to GM's sprawling Technical Center, which houses product development, engineers and other technical experts including the team that designed the Chevrolet Volt electric car. GM plans to hire 1,500 more computer specialists and move them into a renovated building on the site. Detroit has a ready supply of engineers and other computer experts from several nearby universities, many of whom specialize in automotive computers.
WHAT'S NEXT: Experts say the most likely locations are on the West and East Coasts. They expect one center near California's Silicon Valley. A center also could be near Seattle, home of Microsoft Corp., or Portland, Oregon, which also has an abundance of techies.
