    2011 WABDL World Powerlifting Results

    Great lifts--made it look easy! You looked like you had another ten or fifteen lbs left in ya on the third lift.

    is OWS more violent than the TPM?

    It's really a very mixed bag. Just like there's a movement in the TP that simply doesn't like having a black president, there's bums in the OWS crowd. However, I'd argue the majority of OWS are college educated young people that were told their entire lives they MUST go to college and so they...

    #OccupyWallstreet

    Both movements are the same at the core. One side just has a preference for illicit drug use and the other for racism and incest. Wait, what, you mean you can't judge an entire group of people by fringe elements?

    Under Active Thyroid

    While not entirely conventional, the research seems to indicate that losing body fat will increase your T3/T4 levels. (I can dig it up if you're interested) Somewhat chicken and the egg though, no? Higher body fat increases aromatization of testosterone into estrogen, with estrogen having a...

    Deadlift question

    Add a +1 for deadlifts. As an aside, I believe any hormonal effects from heavy compound lifts to be dramatically overstated. While there are short term increases in androgen levels, most research indicates that long term, nearly all athletes (strength or endurance) have lower androgen levels...

    What voltage is the memory rated at and what is it running at?

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    Yikes, stunt they pulled after posting a negative review of superbiiz on reseller ratings... From Resellerratings: "The merchant claims "the posting was made by a current employee, former employee, or immediate family member of the company being reviewed", in violation of our policy #10 (see...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    That's strange, for things like the multiplier it accepts numbers keys for me. For things like voltage I hit enter and the up and down arrow keys. I remember hearing something about certain USB ports right with the keyboard when in the BIOS. I use the top two 3.0 ports for what it's worth.

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    I'm using the 1.0 bios and while the mouse does not work, I've had no problem at all using the keyboard. I've been navigating a bios for the last 17 years with a keyboard, so it's not a particularly strange thing.

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    So I went all Mcguyver and bent the pins carefully back into place... (Figured it was a $115 mobo...F-it.) I was simply tired of waiting for superbiiz. Low and behold I was able to mend the beast. 5.0 @1.48v. Working on bringing the voltage down a touch.

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    Yeah, in retrospect I should have gone through newegg or tiger direct. If my memory serves me, at the time, the motherboard as not in stock at those locations. Part of the allure was how close they are and they had it on sale for something like $115. Granted, that's completely void if I have...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    Not what I wanted to hear. Granted, I'm the type that will take a retailer to small claim's court and charge the salary I make for my time out of principle. I do not recommend superbiiz. "Dear Mr. Genny, I am sorry to hear such news. At this point it is best to contact the...

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    I have all my components together and I took the plastic cover off the socket and... D: Five severely bent pins. Like 90 degree bent. I'm not sure if this was a returned product to the store or if this was a QC oversight by asrock. Wish I would have thoroughly inspected it a week ago when I got...

    So, where's the Intel monopoly?

    To the OP, there's a lot more involved than AMD. Supply and demand and the five forces largely determine price, even with a dominant position. Intel is basically pricing around equilibrium, as if price went up substantially, demand would fall off.

    ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 - Who has it?

    I purchased this board a few days ago and it's certainly a nice looking piece of hardware. I'm waiting for my 2500k to arrive to fire her up. Going for a fairly large overclock, so I'll let ya know how it works out.
