Protein shake is the last thing you want to take before bed, since liquid calories digest very fast. When you go to bed you want to have something in your system that digests slowly, that way your body is going to have constent protein fix for the night.

There is no hack. Your BIOS should support it - it just may not be obvious. I've read that other motherboards with integrated video chipsets allow you to specify 'Use onboard graphics' or 'Auto' or something similar. 'Auto' is the one you want. If it detects a dedicated video card, it will use it automatically, otherwise, it will use the onboard graphics.

Pros: Nice, decent card for the pci interface. Quick, easy install. Huge upgrade over onboard gfx and my old and busted raedeon 9250. Bought me an extra year before a complete Mobo and CPU rebuild. Runs Vista pretty good.
Cons: Takes up two PCI slots. (Heastsink is huge)

Runs hot. Recommend adding a fan.

As stated a million times before, driver cd is best used as a coaster. Get drivers from Nvidia.com
Other Thoughts: Overall not a bad card if you're stuck with pci and need to update that old pc for just a lil' while longer. Be clear it does not work miracles though.

One license per computer. You have to register and activate it just like any other MS software.

Get like 4 terabyte drives, flash them for Tivo and bam you will never run out of entertainment ever... i do beleive an emulator is required. (their free google em). shoot tivo's are really simple, you could build your own for like 1/4th the price. get win 7 , 8 gigs of ram and a 4 terabyte system, and hook up soundsystem through the house, get a tv tuner (100$) and have your whole house decked out with multimedia capabilities remote. any room in your house will have access to your music/videos/net. simple networking really :p

I dunno the more i look about these days the more it seems the sky is falling.

Supermarkets are like giant booby traps for males -- which is why if you send a man out to get eggs, sugar & bread, you should not be surprised if he returns home with a case of beer, a pair of jeans & a tree.

I am embarrassed to admit that I can't even get a button on right--it falls off after I've tried to sew the dangblasted thing on. I've given up and relegated the job to my friend's mom who knows how to sew.

Some super-patriot please explain to me how you can reconcile this with the ridiculous claim that this is the "freest country in the world," especially given the fact that 70% of all prison inmates are incarcerated for victimless "crimes" (i.e. nonviolent drug "offenses.")

Nine LED streetlights to undergo year-long test in US suburb
16 Sep 2008
Xcel Energy has installed prototype LED streetlights in a neighborhood in Brooklyn Park, MN, to test their ability to survive harsh weather, provide adequate light, and please the residents.

LED streetlight installation
Nine LED streetlights have been erected as prototypes in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, near Minneapolis, by Xcel Energy, a Midwest energy supplier. This is the company’s first test of LED streetlights in a residential area.
The 26-foot-high streetlights were manufactured by Relume Technologies and distributed by Mountain State Lighting.

“As part of a pilot project, we’re testing them for a year to see how they perform in all weather conditions. And around here, they’ll face some pretty difficult weather conditions,” said Patty Nystuen, spokesperson at Xcel Energy.

In addition, the LED streetlights will be tested for light output and clarity. Xcel Energy also plans to gather public comment about the new lights.

“[LED] is the way of the future. It’s the new technology that’s coming along. There are a lot of advantages, including energy savings. Also, not as much light pollution seems to be a big advantage,” Nystuen said. “One of the big elements of the test will be to see how people like them. It doesn’t come in your bedroom window quite the same way.”

With operations in 8 Western and Midwestern states, Xcel Energy provides services to 3.2 million electricity customers.

We have good, upscale communities, fairly new housing developments, in Michigan ,
with High Taxes that just don't have streetlights and the homeowners won't pay for them.

This is not an adequate reason to watch television.

You can't MAKE college out to be anything than what it is: "artificial". Didn't you learn anything from my essay? That is WHY some students become depressed and unfulfilled because they have to simply PICK their paths in life instead of creating them, that is, in fact, quite depressing and tragic. And no thanks, i'll pass on that recommended piece.

So in conclusion our individual liberty is null and void due to these activities laid out for us and our creativity cannot be fulfilled, only used for production. Further pursuit of such activities will most certainly render us more mechanic and deepen the void inside of us, propelling us to compensate for it by finding more artificial activities to engross ourselves into.

Sub-prime mortgages are actually illegal in Canada and we have also tightened the guidelines that regulate home buying/selling, mortgages and a limit to the interest rate any finanical institution charges for whatever they are selling.

Just because the "mainstream" news is saying it, doesn't make it true.

Love, blackmail and rape – how al-Qaeda grooms women as ‘perfect weapons’Deborah Haynes in Baladruz, Diyala
Read Deborah Haynes's blog: Inside Iraq

A woman pretending to be pregnant walks up to a hospital in one of Iraq’s most dangerous regions and blows herself up.

Minutes later a man, also laden with explosives, attacks the rescue workers who rushed to the scene in Diyala province, north of Baghdad. Thirty-two people are killed and 52 wounded.

The co-ordinated bombings that ripped through the town of Baladruz in May are one of twelve attacks involving thirteen women suicide bombers to strike Diyala so far this year – a huge jump, signalling a new tactic by insurgents. US officials suspect that al-Qaeda has built a network of cells that recruit women and turn them into killers.

Women are the perfect weapon in a country where it is frowned upon culturally for a man even to approach a woman without her husband or father in tow, let alone frisk her for weapons at one of the many checkpoints that are the bombers’ favourite targets. In addition, it is easy to hide a vest packed with explosives under the traditional Islamic robes worn by women in Iraq without drawing suspicion.

In total, there have been 24 attacks involving women suicide bombers since January, including four on Monday in Baghdad and the northern city of Kirkuk that left scores dead. Al-Qaeda is “a very adaptive enemy”, a US Special Forces captain based in Diyala said. “They will try to use whatever works best for them to attempt to exploit whatever political or cultural restrictions we have.”

Other forms of artificial activities i omit from my life such as "television, radio and video games" as these are the most senseless.

So all the rituals are thoughtless ??---someone coerced all the other to join in the rituals for fear of being left out.
Religion is all about belonging to group without having to think,
--letting others think for you, like sheep.

Values can be changed easily if you are conscious of them and wish to create different results in your life.

Religion is nothing more than a way of thinking.
It is used to manipulate, control, and define illicit acts among a group of people.

I know this is digging from the grave, but I am a movie buff too. Not so much mainstream movies though.

What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date.

But I still don't get it, why am I sick all the time? I am getting so tired of being sick :(

Either way, the GH increase is very brief. It's at its peak immediately after exercise, is double about 15 minutes after exercise, and is back down to baseline at 30-60 minutes after exercise (2,3).
The GH release you get during the first few hours of sleep time is about a 20-fold increase in GH, while the normal GH pulses that occur during the day are between 10 and 15 fold (5). Not only are these pulses larger than the post-exercise pulse, but they last longer, too (1-3 hours).
