I thought that I knew what family portraiture was all about. You know what? I didn't have a clue. I discovered this not too long ago when doctors told me that I had cancer with possibly only 6-12 months to live. A statement like that puts an altogether different perspective on things.

So, my family joined me for a weekend, more or less a love-in. A highlight of...

There's no such thing as a small wedding. Every wedding is special and needs to be captured as such. I got that feeling when I photographed the wedding of Phillip and Krystle. I don't photograph many weddings anymore, but these people were special. The groom was the brother of my assistant, Jeff.

Even though there were going to be less than 10 people at the...

The 14 Best Sports Movies Currently Streaming on Netflix

Screen Shot 2014-04-02 at 4.42.44 PM

In the vast abyss that is Netflix's streaming options, it's easy to lose track of what's available for immediate watching and what is The Rock starring Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery (Why isn't this movie available for streaming? Please make this movie available for streaming). To save sports fans some searching, I've put together a list of the best sports movies that are currently available on the streaming service. The list includes several movies you've heard of, maybe a few good ones you haven't and, as a whole, a pretty good excuse to cancel any plans you have this weekend.

Be on the lookout for a future post which will highlight the best sports documentaries currently streaming on Netflix. I can assure you that that one will be a doozy.

Please be warned that some of the clips below contain foul language.

Brian's Song

Perhaps the best made for TV movie ever, Brian's Song chronicles the relationship between Chicago Bears players Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers. The classic film is definitely worth a second (or third) viewing for those who have seen it before, but for those who haven't, be sure to have some tissues handy.

Best Time to Watch It: When you're due for a good cry.

Tomatometer rating: 91 %

North Dallas Forty

The diametric opposite of your classic "feel good" sports movie, North Dallas Forty, which was based on a book by former Dallas Cowboy Peter Gent, is an unflinching, foul-mouthed account of what it's like to play in the NFL. As a complete work, the film is somewhat lacking, but it's worth a watch just to see Nick Nolte's portrayal of wide receiver Phillip Elliott.

Best Time to Watch It: Wait until your longing for the NFL to return has reached its peak.

Tomatometer rating: 85%

Slap Shot

Slap Shot is a complete mess of a movie containing a combination of foul language, violence and nudity that makes you feel somewhat dirty for watching it, regardless of age. But for all of its imperfections, it's simply impossible to look away.

Best Time to Watch It: If you're going to have a guys night at your place, there really isn't a better movie choice.

Tomatometer rating: 85%

Bull Durham

This eminently rewatchable baseball flick chronicles the antics of Crash Davis (Kevin Costner), 'Nuke' LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) and Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) in the hilarious and often thankless realm of minor league baseball.

Best Time to Watch It: Baseball season hasn't officially started until you've watched this movie.

Tomatometer rating: 97%

Happy Gilmore

Best Time to Watch It: Tonight. Seriously, I'm watching this movie tonight.

Tomatometer rating: 60%

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings

This massively underrated fictional account of Negro league baseball stars Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones and Richard Pryor among others. The film was well-reviewed upon its release, but for one reason or another it hasn't held up to the test of time and now seems mostly forgotten. Bingo Long would be the perfect choice for any fan of baseball movies who doesn't feel like rewatching Bull Durham.

Best Time to Watch It: Saturday evening after you get back from the stadium.

Tomatometer rating: 87%

Raging Bull

(Some NSFW language in the clip below)

Ranked as the fourth best movie of all-time by the American Film Institute, Raging Bull is, at least based on critical acclaim, the greatest sports movie of all-time. Of course it's debatable whether this truly qualifies as a sports movie, given that the most memorable scenes take place outside of the ring, it's still a worthwhile watch for any person who considers themselves a movie fan.

Best Time to Watch It: The perfect movie for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Tomatometer rating: 98%

The Bad News Bears (1976)

For all its charm and humor, the original Bad News Bears was perhaps most notable for its realistic and sobering portrayal of hyper-competitive adults and how their behavior can sap the fun out of Little League. Walter Matthau gives one of the defining performances of his career as foul-mouthed coach Morris Buttermaker, and he's well-countered by Vic Morrow's Roy Turner.

Best Time to Watch It: Although a bit racy at times, this is probably the most family friendly movie on the list.

Tomatometer rating: 96%

Looking for Eric

This somewhat under the radar independent British film deals with a depressed, down on his luck postman who has hallucinations of his favorite professional soccer player. Okay, granted that doesn't sound too uplifting, but I can assure that the movie will ultimately leave you with the warm and fuzzies.

Best Time to Watch It: A good choice for fans of Silver Linings Playbook, I'd recommend Looking for Eric for your next couples night in.

Tomatometer rating: 84%

The Longest Yard (1974)

Come for the classic sports comedy, stay for the classically handsome Burt Reynolds.

Screen Shot 2014-04-02 at 3.25.13 PM

Best Time to Watch It: Thursday night after a long day at work.

Tomatometer rating: 81%

Although its initial release in 2011 was underwhelming, Goon has since picked up somewhat of a cult following, mostly because of the hard-hitting action and hilarious script (penned by Apatow apostles Evan Goldberg and Jay Baruchel). The main character played by Seann William Scott, is a good-natured bouncer named Doug Glatt who is recruited to serve as a goon on a minor league hockey team. Some might call this film a modern-day Slap Shot but such a comparison is misguided; Goon is a much better movie than Slap Shot.

Best Time to Watch It: Makes for a great pick me up after a tough loss in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Tomatometer rating: 82%

A League of Their Own

I think this movie is slightly underrated given its great production value and entertaining stand alone scenes. A fictionalized account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, A League of Their Own is carried along by very strong performances by a talented cast that includes Tom Hanks, Gina Davis, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell.

Best Time to Watch It: Your parents are visiting you from out of town and you don't feel like taking them to the natural history museum again.

Tomatometer rating: 77%

Rocky IV

All of the Rocky movies are currently streaming on Netflix, but I mostly just wanted an excuse to post the amazing montage above.

Best Time to Watch It: Always. It's Rocky IV.

Tomatometer rating: 44%

Like the boxer himself, many hoped that this biopic would be considered "The Greatest." But while it does have its moments, most were in agreement that the longwinded two and a half hour film doesn't quite do Muhammad Ali justice. That being said it is a movie worth watching if you haven't seen it before, if only to just learn a little more about the most enigmatic character in sports history.

Best Time to Watch It: You have a lot of time to burn, which is probably the reason you're on Netflix in the first place.

Tomatometer rating: 67%

Which NFL records will fall in 2012?

While Adrian Peterson shoots for the single-season rushing record, Calvin Johnson is close to taking down Jerry Rice. (Paul Connors/AP) While Adrian Peterson shoots for the single-season rushing record, Calvin Johnson is close to taking down Jerry Rice. (Paul Connors/AP)

In addition to playoff races heating up in both conferences, the final two weeks of the NFL regular season could see a serious assault on the record books.

We've already seen Drew Brees break Johnny Unitas' record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass, and Adrian Peterson this season, and Calvin Johnson, Aldon Smith and J.J. Watt all have their sights set on other major league milestones. Meanwhile, several other players are in line to take down some less-heralded standards.

Which NFL records might fall before the 2012 regular season wraps? We take a look at a few possibilities, building up to the most prestigious of the bunch:

Punt yards

NFL record: 4,968, Andy Lee, 2007

Current leader: 4,546, Dave Zastudil

Maybe this record holds special meaning if you're a punter, but in general, teams that punt a ton are not very good. To wit: Of the punters currently in the all-time top 10 for this mark, only two (Denver's Britton Colquitt and San Francisco's Andy Lee) played for teams that finished 8-8; everyone else was on a sub-.500 squad.

Zastudil needs 422 yards (211 per game) over the final two weeks. He had 398 punting yards Sunday vs. Detroit, on nine kicks, and he has topped 400 in four separate games.

Forced fumbles

NFL record: 10, Osi Umenyiora, 2010

Current leader: 10, Charles Tillman

This is something of an unofficial record, as forced fumbles are not officially tracked by the Elias Sports Bureau, which sources the NFL's statistics. And no one really kept track of this stat at all until some time right before the turn of the millennium.

Still, since then, no one has done a better job popping the football loose in a single season that Tillman, who forced his 10th fumble Sunday to match Umenyiora's 2010 total. Just showing how haphazardly this statistic is tracked, though, Jason Taylor is credited by some with 10 forced fumbles in 2006, but has him with only nine.

Pass attempts

NFL record: 691, Drew Bledsoe, 1994

Current leader: 629, Matthew Stafford

Stafford nearly set this mark last season -- his 663 attempts in 2011 were the third-most in NFL history, behind only Bledsoe and Peyton Manning (679 in 2010). If Stafford can make it through the Lions' last two games without an injury (a big "if" given Detroit's offensive line play lately), this one seems set to fall.

Thirty-one pass attempts per game would deadlock Stafford and Bledsoe at 691. Stafford has not thrown fewer than 32 passes in any single game this season.

All-Purpose Yards

NFL record: 2,696, Darren Sproles, 2011

Current leader: 2,241, Randall Cobb

How crowded is this leaderboard? Cobb is 455 yards back (needing 227.5 all-purpose yards per game over Weeks 16 and 17), and he is 43rd on the list for this stat.

Sproles broke Derrick Mason's record of 2,690 last season, thanks to 603 yards rushing, 710 receiving and more than 1,300 return yards. Cobb has done it more through the air -- he has 892 yards receving and just 132 on the ground. But a couple of big games to close the year could get him to Sproles' level.

NFL record: 143, Marvin Harrison, 2002

Current leader: 107, Brandon Marshall

Putting up 18 catches per game over the season's final two weeks sets a pretty lofty bar for Marshall, but keep in mind that he has had 18- and 21-catch games in his career (though both came with Denver).

What won't help: Marshall figures to draw Arizona's Patrick Peterson in Week 16, so he'll have a tough time coming free too many times.

This is a major long shot, but not impossible.

NFL record: 22.5, Michael Strahan, 2001

Current leader: 19.5, Aldon Smith/J.J. Watt

Smith had a cushy lead until Sunday, when he was shut out in the sack category and Watt took down Andrew Luck three times. Now, he and Watt are tied, three back of Strahan, with two games to go.

Watt gets a crack at Minnesota's Christian Ponder in Week 16, before again taking on that same Colts team that found him unblockable. Smith and the 49ers visit Seattle next Sunday -- Russell Wilson has been sacked 26 times in 14 games -- then closes the season against Arizona's abysmal offensive line.

At least one of the two pass rushing extraordinaires should be able to supplant Strahan atop this list.

Receiving yards

NFL record: 1,848, Jerry Rice, 1995

Current leader: 1,667, Calvin Johnson

Megatron has averaged 147 yards per game over his last seven outings. If he hits that number Sunday, he would need just 34 yards against Chicago in Week 17 -- and that's exactly what Johnson gained in an earlier loss to the Bears this season.

Detroit has very little left to play for in 2012, aside from getting Johnson into the record books and possibly spoiling Chicago's year. In other words, don't expect the Lions to stop targeting Johnson in Weeks 16 and 17. Even a couple of decent performances from Detroit's superstar receiver would leapfrog him past Rice.

Rushing yards

NFL record: 2,105, Eric Dickerson, 1984

Current leader: 1,812, Adrian Peterson

Peterson needs to average 94 yards over the final two weeks of the regular season to hit the 2K mark on the ground, and he needs to rip off 146.5 per game to tie Dickerson's record. Standing between Peterson and history is a Houston defense that ranks fifth in the league against the run, followed by a Packers D that watched Peterson rumble for 210 yards in Week 13.

Does the Vikings' hunt for a playoff spot work for or against Peterson's pursuit? Hard to say -- The Vikings cannot go out of their way to get the record, but Peterson is a massive part of the offense, regardless.

Even an average day by Peterson's standards in Week 16, though, would ensure he has a chance to track down Dickerson on the season's final Sunday.

Daily Bagel: Isner's behind makes Cosmopolitan's best of 2012

“They are so passionate here,” Federer said. “I’ve had more fans break down here in South America than anywhere else in the world. They cry, and they shake, and they are just so, like, not in awe but so happy to meet you. It’s disbelief for them that they can meet me, and that is something that has happened a few times before, but it’s very rare."

• Doug Robson reports the USTA's decision to move the U.S. Open final to Monday continues to drive a rift between itself and the ATP.

On Tuesday, ATP board representative Justin Gimelstob said he and other ATP leaders were "frustrated" by the USTA's seemingly unilateral announcement Friday to extend the tournament to 15 days.... The ATP also wanted a bigger increase in prize money than the record $4 million the USTA added.

"The disproportionate amount of prize money relative to tournament revenue and the extra day demonstrate the tremendous disconnect from where the players felt the conversations were going," Gimelstob said.

Hartford Shuts Down Saints
Riding high off the biggest win in program history earlier this week, the Saints failed to build off their momentum as they dropped a tough 1-0 decision Thursday night at Hartford. It was the third straight 1-0 game the Saints have played to start the season as the team fell to 1-2.

Box Score

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Siena College women's soccer team held Canisius College scoreless, capturing a 3-0 shut-out victory at the Demske Sports Complex in MAAC soccer action Friday evening. With the win the Saints improve to 4-9-3, 4-3-1 in the league while the Griffs fall to 2-12-1 overall, 2-5-1 in the MAAC.

The Saints struck early in the first half, scoring their first goal in the 14th minute off the foot of Nicole Orlandella, her third of the season. Sarah Shumway passed the ball from the right-side and Orlandella's high, arcing shot from 35 yards out dropping in over Canisius goalie Christine Moran's head and found the back of the net.

Siena would add to their lead in the 21st minute as Shumway scored her fifth of the year on a pass from Erin Beam. Beam sealed the Siena victory with a goal of her own from Lauren Mulligan with 8:52 remaining in the second half.

Moran posted five saves, all in the first half, for the Griffs in the loss. Siena's Noel Cox recorded five saves, earning the shutout win.

The Saints return to action this Sunday, November 3, at Niagara. Game-time is set for 1:00 p.m.

The new tools in version 2 include Automatic True Shape Nesting for maximising material usage and minimising waste, new CNC toolpath cutting strategies for Raised 3D Prism machining, Auto-Inlay tools to ensure parts fit together correctly, Fluting for automatic ramping in and out of the material and Multi-tool pocketing for minimising cutting times. The Random 3D Texturing Toolpath strategy has been enhanced to profile cut along selected vectors, randomly changing the Z cutting depth to create unique and very interesting textured patterns.

New Design and Editing Tools have been added making it quicker and easier to import, create and edit projects. Vector geometry can now be smoothed or splined to reduce the number of points or converted to arc segments that will be quicker and easier to machine on some CNC machines. New interactive 'Dog-Bone' and 'T-Bone' Filleting allow toolpaths to 'notch' the inside corners of slots and grooves, allowing mating parts to fit flush against the true base of the pocket. This technique allows the radius of the cutter to be removed from the bottom of slots and ensures parts cut from sheet materials will fit together when assembled.

Aspire 2 also includes a new 3D Model Slicing feature that allows the user to divide high 3D Models into multiple Z-Slices that can each be machined and assembled to produce a finished project thicker than the available material or Z gantry height on the CNC machine.

Version 2 also includes new and unique High quality Multi-colour 3D toolpath preview. This functionality allows each toolpath to be simulated and displayed using a different colour to show the completed sign or project exactly as it will look when finished and assembled.

Aspire 2 is the easiest way to convert 2D drawings and designs into high quality 3D relief and precise CNC toolpaths.

Aspire's new and unique 3D component construction tools make it quick and easy to create your own 3D shapes from drawings and sketches and to work with existing 3D CAD and Clipart models.

Aspire is perfect for designing and machining signage and projects such as carved decorative panels and doors, swept flourishes and appliqués, custom millwork, architectural mouldings, bespoke company logos, jewellery pieces, custom gifts and awards, in addition to many more CNC machined applications.

Aspire is based on the world class VCarve Pro design and toolpath engine and uses the same logical and easy-to-use interface, that makes it quick and easy to convert 2D sketches, photographs, drawings and graphic designs into high quality 3D products. Aspire's new interactive modelling engine makes it very easy to build, resize, move and rotate 3D elements in a design at any time. Plus change the material properties to create realistic 3D previews.

Aspires powerful 3D Sculpting and Blending tools provide total flexibility when modifying designs. Models can be manipulated like a piece of virtual clay to smooth out edges and discontinuities, as well as to add extra detail, all helping to create that authentic 'hand carved' look for your models. Interactively modify 3D designs using the sculpting tools with control over brush size and strength, plus options to Smooth, Smudge Deposit, Remove, Erase with options to raise, lower or blend the changes.

Vectric understand the importance of high quality training materials and the Aspire installation DVD includes over six hours of real world project based video tutorials, covering all aspects of using the program. The videos are accompanied by the files used in the tutorials and PDF documents to allow users to work through the training materials at their own pace.

Aspire is supplied with 50 Free high quality professionally designed 3D clipart models from the Vector Art 3D collection, that would cost over £650 if purchased separately. Aspire also imports industry standard 3D mesh files from other CAD software such as: Rhino, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Silo, MOI etc. STL, 3D DXF, OBJ, 3Ds, VRML and these can be combined with other shapes and models to produce high quality projects.

Aspire's fast and efficient 3D roughing toolpaths remove unwanted stock material as quickly as possible, with cutting strategy options for Z Level or 3D Raster cutting. 3D Finish cutting toolpath options in Aspire ensure each job is cut exactly to size with control over the surface quality and general cutting parameters. Detailed regions on a design can be machined selectively using smaller cutters to ensure the finest of detail on a 3D project is accurately machined.

Aspire instantly converts Image files and photographs: colour and black and white image files - BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF into stunning 3D surface textures, that can be applied to 3D models and machined. Aspire includes all of the precision drawing, layout and CNC production machining tools developed for VCarve Pro making it easy to design and machine complete projects in a single software package.

Giants win NFC East, beat Cowboys 31-14

  • January 2, 2012, 3:40 PM

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Thanks to Eli Manning and Victor Cruz , an all-or-nothing game was all New York Giants and nothing but frustration for the Dallas Cowboys.

Manning threw three touchdown passes, including a momentum-grabbing 74-yarder to Cruz early, and the Giants claimed the final spot in the NFL playoffs, beating the Cowboys 31-14 on Sunday night to win the NFC East.

"I knew we were going to fight and keep playing until the end, I feel good about the way we're handling the ups and downs, and it comes down to finishing," Manning said after throwing for 346 yards and no interceptions.

New York (9-7) won three of its final four games for 65-year-old coach Tom Coughlin and earned a wild-card home game next Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons (10-6).

"We've had a lot of ups and down, but when our team needed it most we responded," said the up-and-coming Cruz, who has capped his team-record setting season with six catches for 178 yards.

"We were able to keep level-headed when we were on the four-game skid."

The Cowboys (8-8) lost four of their final five games in their first full season under coach Jason Garrett.

Dallas was its own worst enemy with the season on the line. It missed tackles on all three of the Giants' three first-half touchdowns, failed to recover two fumbles within its grasp in the half and failed to convert on a Tony Romo sneak on fourth-and-1 at the Giants 10 while trailing 21-7.

"It's extremely painful and it's a damn shame," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "We have a good team and I thought we would be going to the playoffs, but that didn't happen. We have to be able to take some of the good with the bad and move on. We did a lot of good things this year, but to point to one thing why this happened would be subjective. We're 8-8 and we have to be better than that."

Romo, who played with a bruised right hand, moved the Cowboys in the second half but all he could generate were touchdown passes of 34 and 6 yards to Laurent Robinson .

"You can't make excuses,' said Romo, who finished 29 of 37 for 289 yards and one interception.

"Either you win or you go home. Give them credit for coming in here and being ready. This is not going to sit well with me or anyone else on this team. It should fuel the fire to come back, but right now, it hurts."

The shorter touchdown pass to Robinson got Dallas within a 21-14 with 10:15 to play, but Cruz, the second-year pro from nearby Paterson who has become a fan favorite with a big plays and salsa celebrations, came through again.

Cruz boxed-out cornerback Orlando Scandrick on 44-yard third-down jump-ball catch and caught another for 20 yards to set up a 28-yard Lawrence Tynes ' field goal. Manning iced the game with a 4-yard TD pass to Hakeem Nicks with 3:41 to play.

Manning finished 24 of 33 as the Giants beat the Cowboys for the second time in four games and ended a regular season marked by inconsistency on a high note. Cruz, who set a single-season record for yards receiving, averaged 29.7 yards on the night, and of course, he did his touchdown salsa after the first score.

"He's unbelievable," Giants guard Chris Snee said. "He's so explosive. He's so quick, he just runs away from people. He unbelivable. I don't know what else to say about the guy."

The Giants defense sacked Romo six times, including twice by Osi Umenyiora who returned to the lineup for the first time since spraining an ankle late last month. Dallas' final possession ended with Romo being sacked by Justin Tuck and losing a fumble.

"We needed this win," Umenyiora said. "This is the biggest win we've been a part of for a while."

The Giants haven't won a playoff game since beating the-then unbeaten New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2008, and the one thing that is seemingly apparent is that this team is peaking.

Coming off a 29-14 win over the rival Jets last week in what might have been the Giants best game of the season, Coughlin's team put together another outstanding 30 minutes in jumping to a 21-0 halftime lead.

Cruz, who sparked the win over the Jets' with a team-record 99-yard touchdown, made another monster play on the Giants' second offensive series, turning a short pass into points.

Cruz caught a short square out, eluded a tackle by Terence Newman , turned the corner after getting a seal block from Nicks and outraced two defenders down the sideline in front of the Giants bench for a 7-0 lead.

Dallas went three-and-out but had a chance to get right back into the game when Will Blackmon muffed a punt at near his 30-yard line and Alan Ball failed to recover.

Manning made Dallas pay. Manning hit Nicks for 18 yards and Devin Thomas for 14 en route on a 68-yard yard drive that Bradshaw capped with his 5-yard run. Safety Abram Elam had a chance to tackle Bradshaw in the backfield and Bradshaw scooted into the end zone after he missed.

Manning had passes of 14 and 12 yards to rookie fullback Henry Hynoski in an 80-yard touchdown drive just before the half. Bradshaw, who had a 29-yard run early in the drive, broke a tackle by linebacker Bradie James in scoring on a 10-yard swing pass for a 21-0 lead.

The Giants had chances to put the game away in the third quarter. They moved to the Dallas 42 on the opening possession of the second half and elected to punt.

Romo then drove the Cowboys 94 yards with a no-huddle offense, hitting Robinson on a 34-yard go pattern down the right sideline on a play that cornerback Corey Webster was beaten.

An interception by safety Antrel Rolle gave New York the ball in Dallas territory but they failed to convert a fourth-and-1 at the Dallas 35 and the Cowboys came right back to cut the deficit to seven.

Notes: Cowboys G Kyle Kosier left the game with a knee injury and was replaced by Kevin Kowalski replaced him. ...Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware had 1 1/2 sacks and finished the season with 19 1/2. ...LB Sean Lee led the Cowboys with 11 tackles. ...LB Mike Boley had nine for the Giants. ...New York's other sacks were registered by Jason Pierre-Paul (16 1/2), LB Jacquian Williams , Tuck and Chris Canty . ...Dallas was limited to 49 yards rushing on 16 carries.

Right; so after my long learning post ( I seem to be only left needing to make one more choice:

Which pump do I want for silence? Given that I want to go Pump -> GPU -> NB -> CPU (prescott :/) -> rad -> res; it seems like the 1048 won't be enough.

So, the choice is the Hydor l30 or the Ehiem 1250. Which is easier to silence?

Does anyone have detailed pics of just how their pump is silenced? I plan to build in a radbox, so will suspend in a compartment then dampen it too.

They are almost the same in terms of noise.
Their biggest difference is their size (the Eheim is a lot bigger).

I have the 1250 and resorted to a "cradle" of ~3cm thick foam to silence it + very soft tubing (Tygon) , also loosened a bit , connecting it to the closest parts (to prevent vibrations from moving through the tubing).
It worked , it's inaudible , up to 20cm , with the PC on.

Another very good idea (probably the best you can do) , if you are going external , would be to submerge it in a big tank with a sponge (or something like that) at the bottom.

watercooled for silence

Just one comment, if you have a two outlet CPU block (Danger-Den RBX/D-Tek White Water), you can use this as a flow splitter. Pump the flow from the pump straight into the CPU block, then connect one outlet to the GPU and the other to the NB. You can then either rejoin them using a Y fitting, or put both outlets straight into the reservoir, and have the radiator straight after the pump. I would personally suggest that the latter option is best if you are using an external radiator box.
The major advantage of this is that the total resistance is about that of the CPU and GPU in series - you're cutting the total resistance significantly, at the cost of slightly reduced cooling for the GPU.

I use the L30... never used the Eheim so I have no comparison..but I set my pump on some soft foam.... and I have to touch the case every once and a while to feel vibrations to make sure it is on :)

It is not hard mounted and I made sure the tubing doesn't touch anything in the case... I run res to pump (res is sitting on some foam is homemade of PVC pipe) to CPU return to res....

I would recommend that the CPU comes first in the series as it needs the best cooling,,, and skip the northbridge.,...

too much resistance for too little gain...
I run the LanParty board at a FSB of 250 and am using the stock heatsink on the NB... no probs... you could put on a Zalman passive or the like... but the research I found is that the resistance to the system just isn't worth it.....

Hope this helps a bit

you might find my thread at OCAU regarding this issue quite worth reading. one guy posted pics of how he managed to have a 1250 totally dampened inside an aluminium case - now THAT's an achievement.

Big East Tournament 2013: Louisville's Russ Smith plays on after high school coach Curran passes away

RUSS13.jpg Former Archbishop Molloy guard Russ Smith scored 28 points against Villanova after learning earlier in the day that his high school coach Jack Curran had passed away.

Whenever he comes back to New York for a game, Russ Smith checks in at his alma mater, Archbishop Molloy.

When he did so Friday morning, he received sad news from athletic director Michael McCleary. Jack Curran, Molloy's legendary basketball and baseball coach, had passed away at the age of 82.

"I paused for a second," said Smith. "It was really hard for me to take it all in."

Curran coached at the school for 55 years, winning five city championships in basketball. Point guards Kenny Anderson and Kenny Smith carved out their schoolboy legends at Molloy on the way to the NBA.

Smith is the highest-profile player to come out of the school in the past few years, and was named to the All-Big East First Team this season while averaging 17.9 points per game.

Curran's Molloy squads were a familiar opponent for Staten Island teams when the CHSAA playoffs rolled around. In 1983, St. Peter's won the only major city basketball championship ever for an Island team with a win over the Stanners. One of Curran's 17 city championships in baseball came via a defeat of Moore Catholic at Shea Stadium in 2002.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino compared Curran to legendary UCLA coach John Wooden. Pitino worked Curran's basketball camps when he first began coaching and has always been active in recruiting New York players in his stops at Boston University, Providence, Kentucky and Louisville.

"He had all the traits of a great leader," said Pitino. "Very humble. Great teacher. Very wise man."

Pitino told Smith to play the rest of the week and the upcoming NCAA Tournament in Curran's memory. The dynamic 6-1 guard met the challenge against Villanova, scoring 28 points and shooting 4 of 6 from 3-point range in the Cardinals 74-55 win.

Curran had a familiar refrain that Smith has taken to heart. "The road to success is always under construction," the coach said and Smith found a path to follow from it.

"I miss him a lot and I'm gonna miss him," said Smith. "He was everything to me."

Autumn Moon Festival rises on Staten Island

autumn-moon-kids.jpegChildren will perform the Moon Light Dance Oct. 9 at the Autumn Moon Festival at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Sky-gazers looking at the particularly bright moon this weekend may discover an unexpected image: A woman’s face.

    Miss Thing is the inspiration for the Autumn Moon Celebration, a seasonal fest that will be observed Oct. 3, from 4 to 8 p.m., in the New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, 1000 Richmond Terr., Livingston. Admission: $8.

    According to Chinese folklore dating back to 2100 B.C., the face belongs to Chang O, a vain princess who stole an immortality pill intended for a famous archer. For her duplicity, she was turned into a toad. According to the legend, after her trespass, the princess could only see her shadow by looking at the full moon.

    The Scholar’s Garden celebrates the Autumn Moon Festival, which always transpires on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, with traditional Chinese dances and choral performances, as well as calligraphy, tai chi, and dumpling-making demonstrations.

In keeping with festival tradition, the Scholar’s Garden will serve the first 150 attendees free moon cakes, which are pastries usually made of flour and baked until golden brown with nuts, mashed red beans, lotus seeds or Chinese dates.

    Moon cakes play a role in another Chinese legend that coincides with the Autumn Moon Celebration.

    On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the ghosts of restless souls supposedly roam the earth at dusk. Food is left on tables to feed the hungry ghosts. By the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, all ghosts are believed to be satiated and return to their resting places.

    The garden’s Autumn Moon Festival is made possible, in part, by the Chinese American Association of Staten Island, the Staten Island Chinese Christian Church, the Staten Island Chinese School and the Hua Xia Chinese School.

Dangerous diversion: Where have you seen texting, talking drivers?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As part of our "Behind the Wheel" series, we will spend the next few days focusing on texting and other cell phone use while driving.

During a flurry of NYPD traffic enforcement crackdowns this spring and summer, cell phone use was one of the most ticketed offenses -- a weeklong ticket blitz in May nabbed 143 Staten Island drivers on their phones.

Cell phone companies have staged campaigns against texting while driving and even renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog has produced a grim film on the matter.

On a local level, readers have sounded off on texting drivers in the comment sections of recent traffic safety stories:

  • "Texting is very dangerous while driving as our news as well as research demonstrates that," said social_user_3165, commenting on a story published in May about an MTA bus driver caught texting while operating an express bus. "Many people harm others and even take others lives as a result of this dangerous and irresponsible behavior of texting and driving..."
  • "It's frightening the amount of texting that I see going on around me on the roads," said incomudro, regarding a story published in March about a texting-while-driving car crash.

Nine people are killed each day across the country in distracted-driving incidents, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control.

Under New York State law, a driver cannot operate a cell phone while behind the wheel. The offense can carry a $50 fine along with five driver violation points.

Readers, how do you feel about the current enforcement of cell phone use and texting laws on Staten Island? And have you spotted locations where the offense is particularly prevalent?

The last "Behind the Wheel" feature focused on ignored stop signs and traffic patterns on the Island.

Invasion Poster 360

July 30 - September 15, 2013

A Midwest Premiere

Written by Jonas Hassen Khemiri
Translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles
Directed by Anna C. Bahow

Pierce Hall at the Historic Chicago Temple Building, 77 W Washington St., Chicago

Invasion! is a tornado of words, images and ideas, all centered around a magical name: Abulkasem. The play assaults our deepest prejudices about culture, race and language. At once hilarious, disturbing and poignant, this mischievously subversive play deconstructs a “threatening” identity – the Arab male – and forces us to confront our own complicated identities.

Silk Road Rising’s Artistic Ambassador David Henry Hwang called Invasion! “one of the most effective coups de théâtre I’ve ever seen.”

"A slyly entertaining comedy with a sharp political edge...expresses confusion with remarkable clarity." - The New York Times

"If you’ve ever wished somebody would write a razor-sharp play anatomizing lazy paranoia about the Middle East―somebody has." - The Village Voice

“One of the best social commentaries in dramatic form of the past few years." - CurtainUp

"Playfulness and seriousness intermingle to disturbing - and awfully satisfying - effect." - Theater Mania

Performance Schedule
Thursdays at 7:30pm
Fridays at 8:00pm
Saturdays at 4:00pm
Sundays at 4:00pm

The play is 80 minutes long. No intermission.  A talk-back follows immediately after the performance.

Buy Tickets

Limited half-price tickets available for those in financial need.

We will be performing Invasion! at our permanent theatre venue at Pierce Hall in The Historic Chicago Temple Building, 77 W Washington St, Chicago.

$8 parking for patrons at Self Park, 230 W Washington St (3 blocks west of the theatre; corner of Washington & Franklin; entrance on Franklin - building with Cosi restaurant).  Ask box office staff for discount coupon.

I tried this under 2.1.0 and on the demo site. Both installs show the AJAX Error posted by Sigurd.

Is there any fix for this, or am I doing something wrong?
Would be helpful to just know if the problem isn't resolved atm or if I am searching the wrong places ;)

EDIT: I also found out that when you finally have a virtual page (throgh some workarounds and clicking) it doesnt update its content when the original page is updated.

Virtual pages should work fine now in the 2.2 final release, which will be in the not-to-distant future.

CDMAN: I recommend upgrading to 2.2 to fix the problems...2.2 comes with a bunch of cool new stuff :)

I am new in SilverStripe, using version 3.5. I have a doubt in core silverstripe.
I need to override the default submit event in admin side of silver stripe?
I need to implement a new functionality like,
I have two tables, and when I try to insert a new value / delete a value from one table, then I need to automatically insert/delete that record from the other table. We can do it through writing rules in mysql, but the problem is that, I need to edit one of the field in the new table. So I need an interface for edit the second table. So i need to insert the record through Silver Stripe.

Thanks in advance.

Margaret Buck
Apr 29, 2009 | 1701 views | 0 0 comments | 111 111 recommendations | email to a friend | print
August 5, 1951 ~ April 16, 2009

Our loving mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and lover of our lives, Margaret Buck, returned to our loving Father in Heaven after completing her earthly journey on April 16, 2009.

Born on the Navajo Reservation on August 5, 1951 in Bluff, UT to Fernando Begaye and Hattie Smith Abe.

They were blessed with five children besides Margaret, including Daisy Buck, Leila Blackhorse, Samuel Buck and John Yellowman.

Margaret belonged to the Bit’anii and born for the Hak’aandzoi clan. She is survived by one daughter, Cheryle Atcitty Harvey of Montezuma Creek, and four grandchildren, Jami, Megan Jerrick and Nia and her 84 year old mother Hattie Smith Abe.

Margaret also adopted as brother and sisters Anthony Done, Debbie Orvin, Kathy Carson, Patrice Walton of Key West, Florida and ten others. She will be remembered as a kind person with a great sense of humor. She had many friends and relatives all over the Navajo Reservation.

Margaret was a Special Ed ucation teacher at Montezuma Creek Elementary School in the San Juan School District for 23 years.

She graduated from San Juan High School in 1971. She graduated from Weber State College in 1991, obtaining a Masters Degree from the University of Utah in 1995.

She also worked as an Emergency Medical Technician for 20 years and as an Licensed Practical Nurse at the Allen Memorial Hospital in Moab, UT. Other than six years in Moab, Margaret spent her whole life in San Juan County.

She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while still in high school and had many church assignments. She taught her daughter to always “Trust in the Lord.”

“Through tears and trials, through fears and sorrows, through the heartache and loneliness of losing loved ones, there is assurance that life is everlasting. Our Lord and Savior is the living witness that such is so.” – Thomas S. Monson.

She was a great Utah Jazz fan and kept up by watching them on television. She was also proud of her nephew’s county western band, “Lower Deck.” She often wore the band’s t-shirt.

She learned early how to make Navajo baskets. She also did beadwork, silversmith and sewing.

The funeral was April 22, 2009 at the Blanding LDS Stake Center, with Bishop Clayton Long conducting. The Children of Lehi Choir sang, “I Need Thee Every Hour,” in Navajo. Eulogies were given by Cheryle Harvey and Sylvia Ben.

Bishop Brooke Hansen conducted gravesite services. Margaret was buried at the Blanding Cemetery in Blanding, UT.

Additional Sundari Masks Information

The formulas found in the Sundari Masks collection differ from other masks available on the market in that they were developed based on the principles of Ayurveda. By incorporating ingredients that have long been used in this Indian natural healing tradition, the Sundari Masks improve the overall health of the skin while addressing common skin care concerns. The natural ingredients found in the Sundari Masks can also improve your mental health and emotional stability, bringing overall wellness and inner peace.

Add natural Sundari Masks to your skin care regimen to finally rid your complexion of your biggest skin care woes.

Sundari Gotu Kola and Indian Asparagus Mask is an anti-aging facial mask that firms the skin and leads to cellular rejuvenation that can make fine lines and wrinkles a thing of the past. The formula contains gotu kola, an Ayurvedic herb that has been praised for centuries for promoting skin healing. Designed for weekly use, the formula contains no synthetic ingredients, including dyes, perfumes or preservatives.

If your skin is irritated and dry due to hypersensitivity, the Sundari Apricot and Shea Hydra Soothing Mask offers you relief from symptoms and a soothing treatment that can prevent the return of skin allergies and sensitivity. The rich mask drenches the complexion in moisturizing shea butter, which has been used since ancient times to soften the skin. The formula also has age-fighting benefits due to the inclusion of antioxidant-rich apricot and other natural extracts in its formula.

Sundari Neem and Green Tea Cleansing Mask is an effective treatment for acne, blackheads, enlarged pores and other signs of skin congestion. Neem oil in the formula deeply cleanses the pores, loosening debris to eliminate blockages. Natural antiseptics in the mask eradicate bacteria that lurk in the pores, while green tea extract treats the skin to antioxidants that can prevent wrinkles and lines. The mask also clarifies the tissue, reducing its oil content to prevent the return of skin congestion in the future.

I hate the traditional movie junket interviews, especially the ones done by the bigger name portal sites. But every once in a while MySpace will publish an interesting “Artist on Artist” interview. For those of you who don’t know, these interviews group two filmmakers, actors, writers or musicians, together to talk about their new project(s).

The latest edition features writer/director Quentin Tarantino talking with fellow filmmaker Eli Roth, who happens to star in Quentin’s new film Inglourious Basterds. The two discuss the difficulty in staying true to their own voice while evolving, how Inglourious Basterds is a great date movie for any Jewish man, why did Quentin choose Eli for Basterds, and how the Cannes Premiere felt like just another scene from the movie.

Apple “thrilled” about “record weekend” of iPad sales

Mar 19, 2012
Apple “thrilled” about “record weekend” of iPad sales

Apple’s conference call this morning saw CEO Tim Cook detail exactly what the company is planning to do with the mountain of cash it's sitting on. But what about the influx of new revenue Apple will have seen over the weekend with the release of the new iPad in ten countries simultaneously?

Speaking about the new iPad, CEO Tim Cook said that Apple had seen a “record weekend” and that the company was “thrilled” with the result. The company refused to give specific sales numbers for the new iPad, similar to the iPad 2 last year.

In Q2 2011, Apple shifted a total of 4.69 million iPads, including the original and iPad 2. Analysts speculated that over a million iPad 2’s were sold in the first weekend alone. The original iPad took 28 days to hit the same target.

Today’s conference call was to announce that Apple plan to issue a dividend to stockholders as well as buying back stock. The dividend will amount to $2.65 per share, while Apple plans to spend $10 billion buying back shares in 2013. The company will spend around $45 billion on the programs over the next three years.

Verizon iPhone HD Advertising Campaign Preparing for Launch

May 11, 2010
Verizon iPhone HD Advertising Campaign Preparing for Launch

As far as contradicting reports go, this one is definitely a big one. It hasn't even been a full day since we told you that the Apple/AT&T iPhone exclusivity deal was inked for five years, starting in 2007, and here we are telling you that a company is hard at work on the advertisement campaign for the next iPhone. And, sure enough, they say it's coming to Verizon Wireless.

This is just a rumor for right now, so get your salt shakers ready. But, apparently Landor Associates has been building an advertising campaign for the iPhone on Verizon Wireless since 2007. Now, that's a little confusing considering the iPhone launched exclusively on AT&T, and has been doing so every year since. With the launch of the iPhone HD coming here in the next few months, this report would lead us to believe that things are definitely going to change soon.

A Verizon iPhone has been one of the most highly rumored pieces of tech since the iPhone inception, and while this may be just another one of those rumors, we're beginning to notice that they are definitely stacking up this year. Will the iPhone HD mark the divergence from AT&T, and finally reveal a CDMA-based handset from Apple here in the States?

And, on a bit of a side-note, it looks like AT&T has begun to roll back upgrade dates for early adopters of the iPhone 3GS. A few reports from some lucky customers show that while their upgrade date originally read November 21st, they've been switched over to June 21st. So, take that for what it's worth. New iPhone much?

Xbox One Screenshot feature coming soon

May 29, 2014
Xbox One Screenshot feature coming soon

This week the folks responsible for upgrading the Xbox One’s features have let it be known that there will soon be a real-deal screenshot ability. Where "Xbox, Capture That" already allows you to capture video from the device, soon you’ll be finding the ability to capture the display as a single, still shot as well.

This ability is already active - and has been active since day 1 - on the PlayStation 4. It was a bit strange to find that the Xbox One did not allow such an ability back when it was released, the same being true of the Xbox One’s unwillingness to capture any screen outside of a select number of games. The former feature will be enabled - there’s no word on the latter.

Word of an update to screenshot readiness comes from Microsoft’s Phil Spencer. This fellow is the head of Microsoft's Xbox division and Microsoft Studios as well. You’ll find the biggest news about Spencer in recent months to be about his appointment to this role, complete with a marriage of Xbox and Xbox Live under one management roof.

It should also be obvious at this point that a button combination for both video and screenshot capture will be added to the Xbox One in the near future. Without the Kinect with every bundle, voice commands will have to be un-bundled from the user interface and given additional button-press options.

Selling Sleaze: A User's Guide.

Selling Sleaze: A User's Guide.

Gossip, speculation, and scuttlebutt about politics.
Feb. 12 2004 7:15 PM

Selling Sleaze: A User's Guide

Ten ways to rationalize the publication of infidelity rumors.

The Fourth Estate is not interested in petty gossip and unfounded rumors. We report on matters of high policy pertaining to the public interest. Consequently, the rumor of a sexual liaison between a certain presidential candidate and a female intern with the Associated Press wouldn't ordinarily be the sort of thing we'd stoop to publish or broadcast. Sadly, however, overriding considerations compel us to share this information with the public:

1) It's a press story. "Welcome to Reliable Sources, where we turn a critical lens on the media. I'm Howard Kurtz. Should the media report unsourced rumors about THAT WOMAN JOHN KERRY'S BEEN BANGING BEHIND TERESA'S BACK? How much coverage of a candidate's private life is too much? Here to discuss this with us are Tom Rosenstiel and Bob Guccione."

An imaginative new variation on this approach is to omit the ethics angle entirely and merely speculate about whether the press will report on the rumor, as if it were some other beast entirely from oneself.

2) It's an Internet phenomenon. The people sharing rumors about John Kerry's sex life by e-mail and on Weblogs constitute a vital new subculture—a new news medium, if you will, one that doesn't play by the old rules. This cries out for sociological analysis.

3) It's a story about bare-knuckled negative campaigning. Dukakis campaign manager John Sasso lost his job in 1988 for secretly distributing to TV news organizations an "attack video" comparing a speech by rival candidate Joe Biden with the speech it was plagiarized from, by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock. Shame on him! But thanks for the fabulous footage …

This time, the role of Sasso is played by Chris Lehane, former press secretary to Wes Clark, and, before that, to John Kerry. But in a new twist, Lehane's role is an unconfirmed rumor, too! (Lehane gets blamed for everything nasty in the 2004 presidential race.)

4) It's a story about financial impropriety, maybe. Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros' affair with Linda Jones became the public's business because he paid her more than $250,000 while the taxpayers were paying his salary. Apparently the taxpayers didn't want him spending his salary on a sexy blonde; they wanted him to spend it on a subscription to National Journal. Cisneros resolved this by paying $100,000 to the government. If this can be sold as a financial scandal, anything can.

5)  It's a story about sexual harassment. See Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, et. al. In lieu of actual evidence, it's sufficient to find the accuser believable. That was Wall Street Journal editorialist Dorothy Rabinowitz's justification for running with the story of Juanita Broaddrick, who claimed that Bill Clinton raped her. Previously, Rabinowitz had achieved renown by disbelieving stories of sexual impropriety.

6)It's a story about character. Suzannah Lessard published an essay two decades ago in the Washington Monthly * about presidential candidate Ted Kennedy's womanizing, and what it might mean about his character. She tactfully left out the evidence. Now we never leave out evidence, or even speculation. If people say nasty things about you, that in itself reveals something about your character—even if they aren't true!

7) It's a story about hypocrisy. Every politician praises the institutions of marriage and the family. Ergo, every politician is a hypocrite when rumored to be having an affair. In the future, all politicians will be forced to praise promiscuity and to say that marriage should be banned not only for gays, but for heterosexuals.

What's the real estate market like in the Israeli settlements?

What's the real estate market like in the Israeli settlements?

Answers to your questions about the news.
June 15 2009 6:17 PM

Beautiful Two-Bedroom on One Disputed Acre

How much does an Israeli-settlement home cost?

A new housing project in the Jewish settlement of Maale Adumim.
A new housing project in the Jewish settlement of Maale Adumim

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his country's settlement activity on Sunday in response to recent criticism from President Obama. Netanyahu pledged not to build new settlements but argued that Israelis living in existing settlements are entitled to their homes, and homes for their children. If a settler decided it was time to relocate, how much could he get for his house?

Not much. Housing is cheap in established Israeli settlements; in new outposts, it's bubkes. For example, a two-bedroom in Tel Aviv runs about $400,000, but you can get a place for around $180,000 in the settlement of Modi'in Illit just 25 miles away. If you're willing to live in an outpost—a usually illegal housing community that spreads out from the recognized settlement—you can stake your claim to some disputed land by building a makeshift house. But there are no guarantees you'll be allowed to stay.

Established Israeli settlements don't look much different from the rest of Israel. Nothing about the tall buildings and paved streets indicates that the residents are living on disputed land. And purchasing a condominium in an older settlement isn't much different from buying in Tel Aviv—or in New York, for that matter. A prospective settler contacts a real estate agent or buys directly from the developer. Most settlers take out long-term mortgages on units in multistory apartment buildings. Detached, single-family homes are hard to find in the densely populated settlements. Low-price rentals are often available directly from the state, sometimes for less than $150 per month.

Developers, however, operate under rules that make the settlement business appealing. First and foremost, they buy the land from the government—although, according to an Israeli report, many settlements were developed on land owned privately by Palestinians with neither compensation nor consent. The government issues a tender announcing the availability of a plot of land on which a developer can build a certain number of housing units. There is a competitive bidding process, but the price is generally lower than comparable real estate within recognized Israeli borders. Israel also regularly subsidizes development in some settlements, and building codes are somewhat less strict.

For settlers, the communities have benefits other than simple economy. While they offer few jobs outside the service sector, most are within easy commuting distance of major cities. And many Israelis choose settlements because they are densely populated with their coreligionists or compatriots. Beitar Illit, just six miles from Jerusalem, is dominated by Haredi Orthodox Jews. About one-quarter of the residents of nearby Efrat are immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

The outposts are an entirely different matter. These temporary housing communities are built outside the boundaries of the settlement and are often occupied by politically motivated young people seeking to expand Israeli borders with varying levels of governmental consent. Outpost construction is an act of speculation. Many large settlements started as tiny outposts. Ma'ale Adumin, for example, began as a 22-family camp in 1975 and now houses more than 30,000 people. In other cases, the government has bulldozed the outposts with little warning.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn.—It's every boy's dream—a hardware failure right before a deadline. The wireless gear I typically use on the road broke today, and a helpful Verizon franchise replaced it with gear that also failed to work (but for a different reason). There will be a story tonight about this state's Tea Party vs. Establishment showdown, but less than the usual amount blogging tonight and tomorrow.

All that said: Results in Tennessee will be posted here. The races to watch:

- The Senate race among Lamar Alexander, Joe Carr, and some also-rans. There's been next to no polling of this race, which pitted one of the more plugged-in "establishment" senators (that is to say, not someone who had to be pushed to run again, like Thad Cochran) against one of the more adept Tea Party challengers, with a defined issue—iimmigration.

- The 2nd Congressional District, held by Rep. Jimmy Duncan, is the scene of a pretty low-key Tea Party challenge. Duncan's one of the most reliably right-wing members of the House; he drew an opponent because of an anti-incumbent backlash that no one can stave off.

- The 3rd Congressional District, held now by Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, is being sought by Weston Wamp, the 27-year-old son of former Rep. Zach Wamp. Fleischmann produced a gleefully dishonest radio ad in which half of a Wamp quote ("You won't hear me criticize the president ... ") was played and replayed to make him sound like an Obama-lover.

- The 4th Congressional District is held by Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a class-of-2012-er who managed to keep a lid on the news that he encouraged an ex-wife's abortions until right before election 2012. He won that race anyway—thanks, gerrymandering!—but is being challenged by state Sen. Jim Tracy, and may survive because of scattered voting for other people who piled in.

- The 7th state Senate district race between Stacey Campfield and Richard Briggs. Campfield is one of the lawmakers most likely to appear in a Huffington Post headline. (Google "don't say gay bill" if you need a refresher.) Briggs is the doctor the establishment wants to take the seat.
