So, I FINALLY won the battle with my new 680GTX and made my water block fit today. It didn't go as easy as I could have hoped. Had to do some modifications of the card to get the water block to fit. Pulled the 480GTX: Had to pull out all my bags of tricks: I thought these tabs were the only thing in the way. Ground them down: Installed everything. Looked and felt like everything was making contact: This wasn't the case. It must have had just a tiny gap. My temps were just about the same as on air. In other words. Complete failure. Back to the Dremel board: With a little, lot? more modification I made some clearance: This time I was confident that it was making ful…

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (RNN) - An F/A-18D Hornet Navy fighter jet crashed into an apartment complex near Virginia Beach, VA, sending fuel and debris flying and erupting into flames. Both crew members - who ejected at the very last moment to avoid a nearby school - and five civilians on the ground are being treated at local hospitals. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff. An eyewitness to the plane crash, George Pilkington, said that within two or 300 yards of where the plane crashed, the aircraft emptied its jet fuel, with its nose up, and crashed into a building at the Mayfair Mews Apartments. At least five buildings have been heavily damaged. AP is reporting the fire has…

Here’s something you can’t do with your Kindle; Snoop Dogg is set to put out a book of songs that is all set to recycle after you’re done reading it. Since it’s Snoop Dogg, I’ll give you one guess on the suggested recycling method of “Rolling Words”, a songbook that is set to be released as a promotion for Snoop’s line of rolling papers, “Kingsize Slim”. That’s right, after you’re done reading along to Snoop’s beautiful words, you can use the pages to roll up your favorite wacky tobacky: http://thenextweb.co...-songbook-video

A renowned Australian research scientist says a study from researchers at MIT claiming the world could suffer from a "global economic collapse" and "precipitous population decline" if people continue to consume the world's resources at the current pace is still on track, nearly 40 years after it was first produced. Most of the computer scenarios found population and economic growth continuing at a steady rate until about 2030. But without "drastic measures for environmental protection," the scenarios predict the likelihood of a population and economic crash. However, the study said "unlimited economic growth" is still possible if world governments enact policies and inves…

Did anybody do anything on April Fool's Day? I had to.....lol. I had a pregnancy test in the medicine cabinet so I used it and hid it from Jason. I'm totally not pregnant by the way, but you men don't know how to read them things. On Sunday Morning I came out of the bathroom with the stick and put my best "have I got a surprise for you" face on and told him I had to take a pregnancy test. The look on his face was priceless and I thought he was going to pass out. I yelled April Fools and he gave me a high five for doing a good one this year. We later called his mom and did the same thing to her and she started crying over the phone, lol.

The lovely scent of cut grass is the reek of plant anguish: When attacked, plants release airborne chemical compounds. Now scientists say plants can use these compounds almost like language, notifying nearby creatures who can "rescue" them from insect attacks. A group of German scientists studying a wild tobacco plant noticed that the compounds it released - called green leaf volatiles or GLVs - were very specific. When the plants were infested by caterpillars, the plants released a distress GLV that attracted predatory bugs who like to eat the caterpillars in question. According to Science, where the researchers published their study today: They found that when these pl…

So, I just wanted to rant for a quick moment. I'm sure everyone has come across this at some point. I finally had a new trash service come up in my area and bought a years worth of service because it was half the cost I was paying my current company. Called my current company up today to cancel my service and of course I got the " what can we do to keep you" line. I mentioned that the price was twice as much as the new company for the same service. The guy replied, "well let me see what I can do for you" and offered to match the price. At this point I got kind of mad and told him that it's the freaking principal. If you're offering to match it now then I feel like you…

I posted what that little boy wrote about being in Vagin@ a few days ago and when Granite came home yesterday I got my own little surprise in his notebook. There is a girl in his class named Savannah and apparently she's a hoe according to Granite. Now keep in mind Granite's only in Kindergarten, lol.

In the United Kingdom, publicists didn’t get much bigger or more controversial than Max Clifford. Having built his career representing everyone from Frank Sinatra to Muhammad Ali, the quick-witted, silver-haired Clifford had become, as one journalist put it, “a master manipulator of the tabloid media.” Perhaps most notoriously, Clifford resurrected singer Freddie Starr’s concert tour in 1986 by planting the sensational headline “Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster” in the Sun. Like the rumor of Ozzy Osbourne biting off the head a bat, the story generated so much attention that it sold out Starr’s tour. The decision by the marketing team at BMG Interactive to hire such a powerful…
