MSI Radeon HD 7870 TwinFrozr III OC review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
Okay, pictures first. On this page you can see the MSI Radeon HD 7870 TwinFrozr III edition, a 2GB card.
Included with all cards will be a manual and a demo and driver CD, power converters and monitor connector converters to get your multi-monitor freak on. Let's have a look at that:
We see a nice dark/metallic looking card from MSI. The close to 3 billion-transistor 28nm Pitcairn based core is tied to a nice 2GB memory -- which is plenty enough for midrange products. As stated, all the regulars are included.
The reference Radeon HD 7870 cards are clocked at a 1000 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 4.8 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate, so effectively that quadruples that number), the memory bus is 256-bit.
The MSI 7870 TwinFrozr III cards are however clocked 50 MHz faster at 1050 MHz. The memory clock remains reference though.
Here we can see the backside, the cards will fit pretty much any chassis. It's a custom design PCB alright.
We review the AMD Radeon R7-370 series in the form of the MSI Radeon R7 370 GAMING 2G Review. That means 1080P gaming will become in reach at an affordable 149 Euro/ USD price level. We test the MSI...

UK court rejects probe into Malayan Emergency 'massacre'Breaking News
Campaigners calling for an official investigation into the alleged massacre of 24 Malaysian rubber plantation workers by British troops more than 60 years ago lost a High Court fight today.
Relatives of victims challenged a Government decision not to hold an inquiry into the shootings at Batang Kali, Malaya, in December 1948.
Judge ruled against them following a hearing in London in May.
British troops were conducting operations against communist insurgents during the Malayan Emergency when the plantation workers were killed, judges heard....

Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I recently launched my new website DVD Top 50.
Now im looking for honest reviews and tips about the design and the user experience!
All help is appriciated!
Thanks in advance.
On the home page, can you align the rows dvds, 4 per row, to align with the start and end of the large horizontal banner (above)? It looks unbalanced as it is now.
Hi Andrew, Thanks! Will look into it.
Site is awesome, I like it and like your collection..
I think it looks incredibly clean... VERY nice.
Has made me want to look into setting up the top of my page like yours.
I really like how your header/logo area blends seamlessly with the red going across the top of your page.
After looking at your website for a few more minutes I have a bit of advice for you.
Unless the YouTube trailers that you are linking to are monetized, BY YOU, I suggest that you set it up so a click on a movie on one of the Genre pages behaves the same way as on your homepage.
In other words:
When you are viewing the homepage, each of the images of the movies links you to another page, on your website, with: more information on the movie, an embedded trailer, an ad and an affiliate link. If they want to skip that page and go straight to the trailer, you have a text link below the image that allows them to do so. Good stuff here.
When you click on a Genre, such as "Action", and then click on one of the movies, it pops up with the trailer and the user is never taken to the page that has the movie info, the ad and the affiliate link.
Perhaps you have a good reason for this but I figured you might be better off keeping the behavior the same as your homepage, for two reasons:
1: It's a little strange to have such different a behavior, between the Genre pages and the Homepage, when clicking on a movie.
2: The page with the ad and affiliate link are clearly there to make you money... If you don't let users get to that page, you're likely to make less money.
Hope I was of some help.
If I wasn't clear enough and you don't know what I mean, let me know.
Also, if you need any more opinions on anything, let me know. =)
This topic has been closed to new replies.


text: Welcome to the forum! You might try running a search on this subject (it has been discussed before) - this feature is in the toolbar at the top of the page in case you did not know. Good luck and I would definitely send that pistol back to Ruger and let them make it right for you, free of charge of course.

Hi everyone,
I'd be grateful for your help on this.
I setup a mySQL database on my server and followed the 5-minute install precisely. The 5-minute install guide said that I should copy the files to the root directory which I am unable to do - but I figured that putting them in httpdocs would be fine so I did that instead (please correct me if I'm wrong).
The next problem is that entering /wp-admin/install.php does not run the php - it just downloads the install.php file to my computer. Equally - if I visit the root URL domesticchef.co.uk, my browser downloads a file called 'download'.
Can anybody think of a reason that this would be happening? I need some help on this.

M D: When will people learn that anything you put online, that touches the outside world, is not safe. There are people smarter than you who knows computers better than anyone that can waltz into your system if they so chose to. If people are dumb enough to have things out there online that are embarrassing then I don't feel bad when they are broadcasted. Digital age means no privacy. Hell stupid Pokemon go players pretty much unlocked their phone to the company who made the app when they downloaded it. Look at the permissions in that "game"

This unit serves two purposes for me. Allows me to have full strength wireless outside on my deck and also share my internet to my detached shop which has a ENH200 for monitoring video cameras. Very pleased with the range. The instructions don't mention adding the default gateway (192.168.1.1) when modyfing your manual ip address on your pc for setup, but this has been a required step for me to gain access.

Doctors recommend drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day for optimum health. Humans lose a pint or more of water every day, just by breathing. To calculate your ideal water intake, divide your weight in half. This will give you the minimum number of ounces of water you should drink per day. For example, a person weighing 150 pounds should drink 75 ounces, or at least nine glasses per day. People who do not drink enough water may suffer from exhaustion and lack of energy. They may experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, or cramps. Inadequate hydration also contributes to many physical disorders. Some beverages such as soda, coffee, or alcohol actually end up dehydrating the body — so water is the best choice. Share and...Read More

July 2016 -- Condo sales are at 10 year high. The number of condo sales this year has exceeded nine previous years. Progressive growth since 2009 demonstrates a continued strong buyer demand for local condos within our Destin & vicinity market. The chart below illustrates the number of condo sales for each year of the past decade as measured year-to-date for each year.
What's fueling the increased number of condo sales? The significant upswing in the number of condo sales is being driven by three primary factors: 1) condo prices remain affordable; 2) historically low interest rates are available; and 3) local area condos are experiencing increases in overall gross rental revenue as evidenced by the uptick in Okaloosa and Walton county bed tax collections which is a percentage of total rentals along our beaches.
Condo Inventory. Condo inventory was at its highest point in July 2006 when condo inventory reached its high of 5,047 units. The record lowest number of condos for sale in recent market history was in November 2004 when condo inventory fell to 1,240 units. As illustrated on the Condo Inventory chart to the right, the total number of condos currently for sale are near its record low.
Effect of Low Inventory on the Condo Prices. Current low inventories and record high consumer demand for condos have nudged prices upward of the past 2 1/2 years. Sales prices indicate most local condo markets have seen median condo prices rise 4% per year. This rate of price increase is close to the 20 year median for our local area showing a normalized rate of growth. While owners may wish for a more rapid rise in price, history has shown us a slow steady growth of prices in our area more sustainable and healthy for local real estate investors and the industry as a whole.
Distressed sales no longer control the local condo market. The number of short sales have been falling since 2010 and have diminished to a point where they have little influence on market value. While small in number, they linger within our local condo market as banks slowly release remaining backlog.
If you're buying a foreclosure or short sale expect your offer to be one of several being considered. Also expect the process to be rigorous with a long wait for the sale to be final and no guarantee of outcome. Also, the rising prices of condo inventory make banks and other mortgage holders less likely to sell at bargain prices.
Currently, most foreclosed sales are garnishing market value and even above market value as as many buyers automatically assume 'foreclosure' means bargain. It doesn't anymore.
For that reason, we always suggest you do your homework (we're here to help of course) to make certain you have a deal worth the additional hassle and risk prevalent in purchasing most local foreclosures.
Please let us know if I may assist you in obtaining detailed information for properties located in any of the following cities or regions below.

The group known as the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth, which came to prominence for bankrolling ads four years ago suggesting that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry had lied about his military service, is back in the news this week.
On Monday, Col. Bud Day, one of the more prominent members of the group, served as an advocate for John McCain as part of the presumptive GOP nominee's newly-instituted "Truth Squad," which is "aimed at countering the recent attacks on John McCain's military record."
Responding to General Wesley Clark's comments on whether McCain's military experience prepares him to be President, Day said on a conference call that he is "well aware of what the commencement of these kind of personal attacks can lead to," having worked on McCain's behalf in 2000.
Now USA Today reports that McCain "has accepted nearly $70,000 for his presidential campaign from the top donors of the group" and their relatives.
Notes the newspaper: "That's nearly four times the amount McCain received from those donors in the 14 years before launching his current campaign at the end of 2006, campaign finance records show."
McCain condemned the group's ads criticizing Kerry when they came out during the 2004 campaign, calling them "dishonest and dishonorable."
A McCain spokesman told the newspaper that McCain accepted the donations because the donors are "interested in supporting (his) agenda of reform, prosperity and peace."

Addictive Lunacy (Compulsions Book 1)
By N. Isabelle Blanco / Genre: Romance, Contemporary Fiction / Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars (33 reviews)
Calum Alexander lived his life one way. With purpose and moderation. Everything was set in place and everything happened according to a plan.
That is, until his picture perfect engagement falls apart and his crazy brother Lucas gets him to agree to a night out. Calum is left to fend for himself when Lucas decides to bail, and "fend for himself" he will need to.
A vivacious and obviously young Livana Payne catches his attention and before he knows what's going on, they end up talking. By the end of the night, Calum is on fire for the impish girl who's managed to ignite an inferno within him.
Yes, she's twelve years younger and the complete opposite of what he'd imagined in his life, but he hungers for her in a way that's frightening. Drunk and surprisingly out of control, he's dead set on his need to have her.
But the moment he accidentally lets it be known that he's recently single, Livana is having none of it. There is no way she's getting involved with a man who just broke up with his fiance.
No, they were going to have to wait. Calum's need for her somehow kept growing. As the days went by and he got to know her more, Livana seemed to be stealing all of his sanity.
As much as she wants to wait it quickly becomes obvious to Calum that he's losing his grip to the monster she'd awakened within him.
He's about to lose control and when he does, he knows there's going to be nothing gentle about what he'll end up doing to her . . .

A Million Steps
By Kurt Koontz / Genre: Personal Growth, Spirituality, Religion & Spirituality / Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars (327 reviews)
Kurt Koontz thought he was well prepared for his 490-mile walking trip on the historic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. He was fit and strong. He had a good guidebook and all the right equipment. His pilgrim passport would grant him access to the shelter of hostels along the way. But all that, however helpful, did not begin to encompass the grandeur of his external or internal adventure. A Million Steps climbs over the high meadows of the Pyrenees, quests through the unceasing wind of the Meseta, and dances in the rains of Galicia. While following the yellow arrows that mark the route, Koontz also navigates through his personal history of addiction, recovery, and love. With outgoing humor and friendliness, he embraces the beauty of the countryside and joyful connections to other pilgrims from around the world. Part diary, part travelogue, A Million Steps is a journey within a journey all the way to the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela and beyond.

We present the first of a series of lively articles about the Vermont Antiquarian Booksellers Association, an interview with longtime Vermont bookseller and musician, Benjamin Koenig. The interview was conducted by Josette Anne Lyders, and was originally published in VABA News in 2000.
The Vermont Antiquarian Booksellers Association (VABA) began in 1977 with sixteen members. This small group of booksellers wanted to attract more potential buyers to come to Vermont. They saw the value in developing an association that could present a brochure listing all Vermont book dealers - a cooperative "marketing" plan for getting booksellers' names and locations before the public.
Today, the association has more than 65 members, whose ranks continue to grow. In the fall of 1999, VABA welcomed four new booksellers during its November business meeting at The Country Bookshop in Plainfield. At this enthusiastic and very well attended meeting, VABA's host was Benjamin Koenig, owner of The Country Bookshop, and one of the founders of the association....

|Here are some details about my project:
|Funky, Cute, Mod
What are you most proud of? Just figuring out how to add the beads. I knew they were too small to put a crochet hook through so the only other way was to thread them first.
This must look stunning with your red hair - maybe someone will photograph you wearing it? Would love to see that, too! I love how you outsmarted the beads-
I will keep this in mind when I want to crochet again. I am in to quilting now.So maybe after Christmas when I get all these quilts done. The scarf looks amazing. great job and thanks for the inspiration to do something I havent done before.
I also prefer quilting but I can crochet while watching TV so I get some of that done too. I have arthritis in my hands so I'm sure my days of knitting and crocheting are limited.
I have things going on like that too, and It is hard to know that one day you might not be doing something that you love. So I do as much now as I can.

The authors point out the need for a description of human physiques which can readily be obtained and which can be of use in studies of personality and clinical problems. They outline a method for "somatotyping" an individual. It consists of photographing an individual from the front, side and back and then evaluating the figures on the negative or print. The evaluation is in part anthroposcopic and in part anthropometric. A number consisting of three digits is finally obtained. Each digit may range from 1 to 7. For example, 154 and 714 are typical evaluations. The authors claim a high degree of reliability for their evaluations. The book is easily read but unnecessarily long. Its usefulness would have been increased had it been concise. What value "somatotyping" may serve is problematic. There is without doubt a need for physical measurements on a large scale which can be used for correlation

Skip to comments.Arizona to Legalize Lane-Splitting, France to Ban it?
One barrier to widespread adoption of motorcycles as transportation in the USA is that of practical advantage. In most places, two-wheeled transport offers few advantages over the four-wheeled kind. That's partly because unlike almost every other country on Earth, the practice of "lane-splitting"-riding in between lanes of stopped or slow-moving vehicle traffic-is outlawed in what is allegedly the Home of the Free. That means that in every state but California, not only do motorcyclists have to endure the privations of motorcycle travel, they also have to bump along at the maddeningly slow pace of traffic-snarled trucks and automobiles, even though there is little evidence that the practice of lane-splitting (if done in a safe and reasonable fashion) is particularly dangerous.
So kudos to the Arizona legislature for honoring the Goldwater legacy of personal liberty tempered by individual responsibility with Arizona House Bill 2475. Introduced by Harley-Davidson-riding Representative Jerry Weiers (say "wires," R-District 12), the bill will legalize, for a one-year probationary period beginning January 1, 2011, lane-splitting in stopped traffic. It will only apply in counties with populations greater than 2 million (according to 2006 population estimates, this is just Maricopa county, with the Phoenix-Glendale-Scottsdale megalopolis). The bill sailed through the Transportation committee (which Weiers chairs) and the House Rules committee, and has been read to the State Senate as well. It's looking like there is little opposition to the bill so far, which makes sense: those who lean to the left should like the message of encouraging the lower environmental impact of motorcycle transportation, and those on the right should appreciate the individual-rights angle.

This is a very dangerous maneuver, and I would not lane-split.
The masses of motorists are simply not smart enough, talented enough, focused enough or even awake enough to be around motorcycles. This is something I remember everytime I mount up - Stay AWAY FROM THOSE CARS.
Lane Splitting is a mind-bending risk that isn't worth it. If you're in traffic on a motorcycle, you chose the wrong route.
Rather than causing another person a lifetime of guilt, if a person wants to be an organ donor, they should just go to an emergency room, inform the staff that they are an organ donor and commit suicide.
"The masses of motorists are simply not smart enough, talented enough, focused enough or even awake enough to be around motorcycles"
I'd say the vast majority of motorcyclists are not smart enough to do this safely
I'm not in favor of "Lane Splitting". It can be hard enough to switch lanes in heavy traffic without worrying about a motorcycle in between lanes. Any type of vehicle that rides on the road should follow the same laws.
"...The masses of motorists are simply not smart enough, talented enough, focused enough or even awake enough to be around motorcycles..."
....not to mention young enough...a Harley friend of mine just wrecked...I asked him "what happened"....he said "I'm 60 and I just don't have the reflexes I had when I started riding at 19"
Someone lane-split in Atlanta traffic and knocked my mirror off of the passenger side of my car. Needless to say, I don't like this idea because too many morons can't judge the distance between cars.
And if some poor sap in a stopped car happens to stick his arm out the window? Whaaap! Boooom! Awwwwww!
I saw one of these organ donors first hand. Idiot popped a wheelie in heavy traffic. Car turned in front of him as they weren't expecting him to be going 80 mph or that his headlight would be pointed up in the air.
He ended up under the front wheels of the car. Young lady got out to see him sticking out from under her car and completely lost it. I'd imagine she's still in therapy.
Lane splitting will get you killed.
Years ago I was riding into Boston. Got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic just at the entrance to the old South Station tunnel. Guy on a rice burner flies by 'tween lanes. Runs smack into the rear of a cab changing lanes and gets launched over 5-6 cars. Bike — wrecked; rider — wrecked.
I could not agree more, you have no room to maneuver or time to do so. Everything from people opening their car doors, pedestrians jaywalking or last moment lane changes would all be catastrophic.
I had two guys lane split between me and another truck on a Dallas freeway. We were doing 80 and these idiots musta been doing 120.
When you split lanes and die as a result, you can bet it will be the four wheeler's fault.
I started riding in CA 40-some years ago, split lanes
constantly and never had a problem. I found getting rear-ended or being cut off a far more common experience.
In some states they would need to change more than the law though. In Texas for example, the car drivers take it personally when a motorcycle tries to slip by and will
often try to cut him off or even open a door. Once had
a pissed off cau-boi wannabe stalk me for 7 miles up I-35
for daring to pass him on the right while he was on the phone.
I like your screen name!
I ride, and I agree with you 100%. Even a 15mph wreck — say someone is lane splitting at that speed and a car in front of them edges over to change lanes or a driver sticks their arm out their window — can do REAL damage to both the rider and the car (and possibly the car driver).
I remember in CA, riders would split lanes at about 40 mph. When you are sitting stuck in traffic and a bike blows past you at that speed, it's quite startling! Also, in the summer heat, people would stick their arms out their windows or even open their doors (happened all the time on LA freeways that got completely stuck for a while).
Saw that years ago on a highway in NH. Same speeds except 5 riceburners. The amazing result was a few a miles down the road a NH state trooper had them all pulled to the side.
Motorcyclists and bicyclists should make up their minds. Either ride on the road and follow the same rules as cars, or stay off the road altogether.
now that seems sensible
Talk about motor cyclists,, there are plenty of cyclists out there giving the rest of them a bad name. I have lost count of the times I had a cyclists fly by me at what seemed like a 100 mph in a no passing zone! I have seen cyclists weave in and out of traffic and ride bumpers. Going to Virginia once there was some guy in a little suzuki or something passing cars on the left and right (going on and off highway!) traveling at an incredible speed!) A few years ago in our community some guy on a large bike killed himself and an entire family in a min van that was turning into a fair. They clocked his speed at 100+. He was decapitated instantly but the mini van burst into flames killing father mother children and a grandfather! Sickening!
Then I see some guy with a bumper sticker (kill a biker-go to jail!) makes me freaking mad!
Next time you get a chance - Look up some video footage of traffic in India.
India is NUTS. These guys lane split at traffic lights too. It's ridiculous and rude. I hope america NEVER gets to this point.
I'll hand in my licence.
I did lane splitting, but only when the traffic was stop/go or at a crawl. And then I would stay focused on the cars, anticipating their actions for the asleep or hostile driver etc., and I did not go over 35 mph.
But when the freeway was jammed up it sure was nice to do.
No!You want to do your own thing.Lane splitting is stupid and dangerous ,as is passing on the right.
If the car driver had moved to the right while you were illegally passing you'd be crying-if you survived.
I'm fed up with all the special people thinking the great majority of drivers following the rules should give way to the speeding egotist who flashes his headlights or rides a motorcycle.
Some people work hard to earn the disdain of the average driver.
Your post is the key to the whole argument. Everyone should have ONE rule set to follow.
Hell, then why not allow EVERYONE to lane split. Cars, too. Those Smart cars could fit.
Sounds like another group requesting special privileges unavailable to others.
Maybe we could also allow mopeds and golfcarts on the highway system as well, while we're, as was so nobly put, "honoring the Goldwater legacy of personal liberty tempered by individual responsibility ".
In my view, lane-splitters are daring me to not hit them. Since the eyes in the back of my head don't work as well as they used to, it becomes their problem, not mine. I check out the lane next to me, not the line next to me.
BTW, my son, who rides a motorcycle, is not stupid enough to lane-split.
If some stupid cage driver is too focused on his telephone conversation to pay attention to the road, then he deserves to get passed, right or left. And if you dont like it, tough. I drive legally for the most part, but I won't let the law stop me from necessary evasive action.
And getting mad and chasing me down the freeway is a race you won't win.
Bikers DON'T have to split lanes so if you are a biker and don't like doing it ... don't.
Most of the squawking comes from cage (car) drivers that are just jealous that they have to sit in traffic while the bikers zip by. Oh and by the way ... there would be no traffic if the cage drivers would pick the "right" route
Not to change the topic, but I was born in the NE Texas/SE Arkansas area and now I'm back after so many lifetimes. The area is still full of rednecks & mental cases. Mental cases and rednecks seem to make up most of the same group, and you better get out fast if they take a disliking to you ;-)
When you split lanes and die as a result, you can bet it will be the four wheelers fault.
Given that the tactic is illegal in most states, your statement is false on its face.
When you perform illegal maneuvers in traffic and die, it's your fault.
Monday on my way to the library ,a bicyclist completely ignored the stop signs at at 4-way intersection and shot through in front of me,looking neither right nor left.(Of course I've also seen the cellphone-using driver of an unmarked police car do a right turn without stopping at the same intersection.Before I made it safely to the library a large straight truck went through the stop sign at the very next intersection ,only slowing briefly,not stopping as required by law;and then two intersections further a young man pulled out in front of me from a side street.
Ironically there are signs warning that "rolling stops cost $134,complete stops are free;the police dept.".
I've been driving for 37 years and can't help but see the increased aggressiveness of drivers and riders.
Then you will be wearing a helmet while you drive your car.
Been doing that for years. I guess you and I are the only rocket scientists who ride? And yes, Doctor, I have had a contretemps or two while doing it. Occasionally it wasn't the bad car driver's fault, either.
OTOH, I almost hit a moose, too.
Rode for years, and I've seen relatively safe lane splitting, and absolutely idiotic lane splitting.
If traffic is at a standstill, splitting the lanes at a cautious and reasonable speed is relatively safe... If you decide to split between two cars who are both doing 60 MPH because you are doing 85, this is just tempting death.
I have split lanes, but only when traffic was at virtual standstill, and then at a very cautious pace, because you never know when a fool in a cage will cut you off even in these situations.
Drivers just don't look or expect a bike in the middle, so its not something I have or would do in any other situation. I've seen it done, and I've also seen the same guy that whizzed between me and a semi who were going in the 60s, a pile of pudding not more than 5 miles further up the road.
I see, as always when the discussion turns to lane splitting, a lot of bike envy. "Whaaa, I'm stuck in traffic so you have to be stuck in traffic too". Never mind that letting bikes filter opens up that section of road to another car and gets everybody through traffic faster. Maybe instead of whining about how unfair it is to let bikes share lanes you cage runners should go get a bike yourself.
When their bikes comply with noise regulations, I'll consider some sympathy for granting them added privileges.
Drivers just dont look or expect a bike in the middle
That's why they call them lanes.
i don't understand how its rude. would you rather have me get out of the way, or be that one vehicle too many that makes you miss the next couple lights?
You will laugh......
Do you have any idea how many of you lane-splitters I have almost killed?
Traffic is moving at ten to twenty miles per hour and all off a sudden just as you are about to make a land change, here comes a guy at 30 miles an hour out of nowhere.
As hard as you try, it's literally impossible to spot folks like this, especially if there's a slight bend in the road.
As convenient as it may be for you and other bikers, it's just not worth the risk to your life and limb IMO. And the drivers of cars shouldn't be exposed to having to feel guilty for taking one of you out by accident for the rest of their lives either.
I did ;-)
Right on brother ....
Boy ,you deserve every bit of disdain anyone has for you and your elitist attitude.
Those stupid cage drivers pay through gas and vehicle taxes for the road you like to ride on.And would you want to guess the percentage of freight hauled by motorcycles?Or how many people are rushed to the hospital by motorcycle?Do you take the motorcycle grocery shopping?Carpool?Load it up for a trip to grandma's or the zoo with the kids?If it breaks down will it be towed to the shop by a motorcycle?
Cars are popular with "stupid cage drivers" because they allow travel in comparative comfort and safety with room for other people and stuff.Motorcyclists ought to be grateful they are allowed to use the same roads as everyone else.
Never ridden in Cali, but the 6 weeks (and 4000 miles) in Germany was a revelation. Drivers actually got out of your way if you were going fast, not like the USA where someone will purposely clog the left lane when they see you coming. A big bike got a lot of respect there, too. You couldn't just hop on one at 16; you had to spend a couple years on smaller bikes first, and the license tests were no joke, either, also unlike here.
This seems reasonable AS LONG AS: Motorcyclists ALONE accept ALL FINANCIAL LIABILITY for any accidents resulting from a collision that occurs because a lane splitting motocyclist flies out of nowhere into a motorist who has the misfortune of trying to change lanes when the lane-splitter shoots through.
The reason why you "almost" killed them is probably that they saw you and got out of the way in time. You on the other hand need to pay a little more attention.
As for me, I don't trust most car drivers when we each have a full lane, much less splitting lanes with them.
Some of the comments on this thread indicate that distrust is well placed.
Most of the squawking comes from cage (car) drivers that are just jealous that they have to sit in traffic while the bikers zip by.
Yeah, and most of them have air conditioning. Go figure.

N.Z. Share Rally May Stall as Japan Raises Rates
A four-year rally in New Zealand stocks, the world's highest-yielding equities, may stall as investments funded by borrowing in Japan unwind, according to Nomura International Plc and First NZ Capital Group Ltd.
New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 Index more than doubled since March 2003, partly because of so-called carry trades. These involve borrowing money in Japan, which has the lowest interest rates among the world's biggest economies at 0.5 percent, to invest in high-yielding assets elsewhere.
New Zealand's key interest rate is 7.5 percent, second only to Iceland among nations with the top rating at Moody's Investors Service. The average dividend yield for New Zealand shares is 6.6 percent, the highest among 48 stock markets tracked by Bloomberg.
``The interest-rate differentials between Japan and New Zealand, whilst remaining wide, are likely to narrow as Japan starts to normalize its interest rates,'' said Sean Darby, head of regional strategy at Nomura in Hong Kong. ``This ought to start to diminish the flows of money accessing markets like New Zealand.''
New Zealand's benchmark could underperform global equities by five to 10 percent should carry trades fall out of favor, according to Jason Wong, director of economics and strategy at First NZ Capital in Wellington. The index is little changed this year, having gained 0.6 percent to 4078.71.
``Highly priced stocks'' such as Auckland International Airport Ltd., Ryman Healthcare Ltd., and the Warehouse Group Ltd., will be hit the hardest, he said.
`Carry Trades Unwind'
``The New Zealand market is not particularly attractive from an international investor's perspective,'' Wong said. ``If risk appetite falls so that carry trades unwind, New Zealand equities will get dragged under all of that.''
The Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged March 20 in order to monitor the effect of last month's increase, when it raised the target rate for the second time in six years by a quarter-percentage point. The central bank said last month that it raised the key rate because low borrowing costs could spur wasteful investment and asset bubbles.
``Japan has moved rates already from an exceptionally low level and is now on a course to normalize those over the course of the next 12 to 18 months,'' Darby said. New Zealand stocks may tumble as ``the money can reverse sharply if sentiment swings.''
Merrill Lynch & Co.'s March survey of fund managers found investors are ``bidding farewell to the yen carry trade.''
``The signals we monitor indicate the unwinding of the yen carry trade can continue through the remainder of 2007,'' wrote Jason Daw, senior foreign exchange strategist at Merrill in London.
Higher Interest Rates
Countries like New Zealand with large current-account deficits have become dependent on the flow of credit from the carry trade, Nomura's Darby said. New Zealand's deficit was NZ$14.42 billion ($10 billion) in the 12 months to Sept. 30.
New Zealand's economy grew 1.4 percent in the year to September, the slowest rate in seven years.
Darby declined to give a forecast for New Zealand's benchmark stock index. He favors stocks in Asian countries that are leaning toward interest rate cuts and have current-account surpluses, such as Malaysia.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand raised interest rates a quarter-percentage point on March 8 to stem consumer demand and cool the housing market. The bank has to be ``cautious'' about increasing interest rates because it may add to ``upward pressure'' on the currency, Governor Alan Bollard said last week.
The carry trade has helped drive the New Zealand dollar's jump of more than 60 percent over the past five years as offshore investors need to purchase the currency to invest in local assets. Overseas equity investors may suffer ``substantial losses'' if the New Zealand dollar declines, Wong said.
Dollar Pains
Exporters make up 30 percent of New Zealand's $102 billion economy and a strengthening currency has been eroding the value of their overseas sales. The local dollar is the best performer among the world's 17 most-used currencies in the past twelve months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp., New Zealand's largest medical equipment maker, last month said a slide in the company's stock probably reflected concern the rising dollar will crimp export earnings. Alliance Group Ltd., a meat processor based in the country's South Island, said Feb. 16 lamb sales have declined an average of 15 percent from two years ago because of currency appreciation.
That export reliance may help some stocks benefit as the carry trade unwinds, according to Shane Solly, portfolio manager at start-up firm Mint Asset Management Ltd. in Auckland.
`Perversely Benefit'
``To write off the New Zealand market because of an unwinding in the carry trade is quite a strong view,'' Solly said. ``A lot of companies in New Zealand are exporters and could perversely benefit from the currency falling.''
Rakon Ltd., an Auckland-based exporter of crystal oscillators for navigation systems, Auckland Airport, New Zealand's busiest, and London-based investment company Guinness Peat Group, will all benefit as an unwind of the carry trade sends the New Zealand dollar lower, he said.
For First NZ's Wong, the negatives outweigh the benefits.
``There is a lot of downside risk and very little upside risk coming from an overseas basis,'' he said. ``Our market is going to lag the world.''

A pair of well-matched but prickly individuals and a grandfather who delights in making things happen drive the plot of this funny, sexy tale that provides its protagonists with a romantic New England holiday. Dunlop (The Billionaire's Bidding) keeps the plot moving and the tension on target.

BOSTON Lehman Brothers' LEH.N ousting of its female CFO, who had been the most powerful woman on Wall Street, exacerbated concerns about why so few women survive in the financial world's executive suites.
Erin Callan, once considered a contender for Lehman's CEO job, is neither the first nor the last high-profile executive -- male or female -- to lose her job as financial firms suffer.
But news that Callan had been demoted prompted groans from several investment managers and researchers who have long bemoaned the small number of women working in finance's upper echelon. Her role as Lehman's public face as the investment bank struggled to cope with damage from the credit crisis only increased the impact.
"Someone had to be the fall guy and it is debatable whether she had to be it," said Matt McCormick, portfolio manager and banking analyst at Bahl & Gaynor Investment Council.
"But Callan was the most public figure to defend the firm, and management clearly wanted to take a prominent step to give a clear signal that change will happen," he added.
Because so few women work at the top of financial firms, analysts agree that whenever someone loses her job, it is inevitably a bigger story than when a man is cut.
"The attention Erin is getting is because she is a woman in a leadership position not for her work as a chief financial officer," said Lois Joy, director in research at Catalyst, a nonprofit organization focused on women in the workplace.
Phil Purcell was forced out at Morgan Stanley (MS.N) but many people remember the big splash when Zoe Cruz was fired by Purcell's successor, John Mack. Chuck Prince made big news by pushing Sallie Krawcheck out as Citigroup's (C.N) chief financial officer before he lost his own title as CEO last year.
Lehman's decision to send Callan, a lawyer, back to its investment banking division may be especially awkward because the company long tried to boost diversity, analysts said.
"For them to follow up on their policies with this sort of action is not a great statement," said Jeff Greene, a vice president at recruiting firm Battalia Winston.
Among the U.S. Fortune 500 companies, only 7 percent have a female chief financial officer, Catalyst's Joy said, adding that these numbers inevitably cast the spotlight on a woman's more feminine side.
"Because of gender-based stereotyping, we see men as being the better problem solvers and women in a more nurturing role," Joy said. Research proves men and women often lead in very similar ways, she added.
In Callan's case, some analysts detected mistakes.
"She jumped into a crisis," said Brad Hintz, analyst at Sanford C Bernstein and a former Lehman CFO.
"She knows the markets very well, and can describe what's happening in the marketplace very articulately. But she's not an accounting person. She made some misstatements regarding things like Level 3 assets," Hintz said in reference to hard-to-value assets.
Those mistakes came at a time when investors were no longer willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt and Lehman's share price fell sharply.
"She has been doing an outstanding job standing up for the company, but at the end of the day a head had to roll and that was regardless of whether it was a woman or a man," said one large hedge fund manager, who owns Lehman shares and asked not to be identified.
But Callan was criticized for more than her professional actions. Her personal style and shopping habits described in a recent news story also drew fire, analysts said.
"The fact that her fashion sense was profiled so prominently probably did not help her. That kind of press never does anyone any good," said Battalia Winston's Greene.
Companies like Lehman might do better with more women on board and in the board room research shows.
Last year Catalyst released a report showing that big companies with the greatest number of female board members on average have significantly better financial performance than those with fewer women.

I am not trying to make an e-commerce site, but would be glad if it possible to add the product price of the item, on the product grid view?
My website is here
WP Catalogue is not an eCommerce plugin. You can manually add a buy button to each product post if you want, but for a serious eCommerce site I would recommend you use a plugin that is built to do that job. Personally, my eCommerce plugin of choice is Shopp
No, I am not trying to make an e-commerce site, I only wanted to display the product price on grid view.
I managed to display it if it is alright, I can post the solution so if others want it if it is okay. (I just played the plugin and managed to make it work.)
Hey lozadaOmr,
could you please share your solution?
Thanks in advance
I would suggest you backup your plugin first, test it on a localhost server.
1. Go and edit wpc-catalogue.php
2. Add the following code
//Added this part after the $post_data = get_post($post->ID, ARRAY_A);
// Which basically came from single-wpcproduct.php
$terms1 = get_the_terms($post->id, 'wpccategories');
if($terms1) {
foreach( $terms1 as $term1 ) {
$slug = $term1->slug;
$tname = $term1->name;
$cat_url = get_bloginfo('siteurl').'/?wpccategories=/'.$slug;
Then look for this part of the code
while($products->have_posts()): $products->the_post();
and insert this code
//this the code for fetching the price
$product_price = get_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'product_price', true);
After this part
$price = get_post_meta(get_the_id(),'product_price',true);
Then look for this line of code, and insert $product_price like this one
$return_string .= '
'.$title.'₱'.$product_price.'
';
Sorry, for the complicated instructions I was just messing with the plugin files, and eventually made it work.

Has anyone else had HDMI ports die on their VIZIO tv?
I purchased a 42" Vizio in 2009 that sat in the living room until 3 months ago when I moved it upstairs to the bedroom. Since the move I've had all 4 HDMI ports die. I've tried different cables, different cable boxes and it just keeps happening. Actually I am now out of ports and have regular cables running between the tv and cable box. Has this happened to anyone else with their tv?
35 Answers answer
Actually not with a vizio, but with a different brand. It took me a few trys to realize that one of my cables had somehow managed to get a slight bend in the connector to allow it to not make the connection right. I only figured it out when I wiggled the connection and got a moment of pass thru.
I've got a 32" and a 22" Vizio, and no problems with either. They're both 3-5 years old.
I had all HDMI ports on a Sony TV die. I think it was the result of a power surge through the coaxial cable (since I had the TV power plugged into a protector but not the cable). It was still under warranty - the guy replaced something inside the TV and now they all work again.
@ihatedealswoot: I thought maybe it was the cable too, bought new ones and it only worked if I moved to a new port. Then the new one died, then same thing, over and over. :(
@okham: I have 3, a 22", a 42" and a 47" and this is the only problem I've had, and it was after I moved it - so don't move them!!! :)
@benyust2: Thanks for that tip, I had thought about that as being an option as to what happened but wasn't sure if it was actually possible. I believe the surge protector I have has a spot for the coax, but the ex did not have it running through there so I didn't do it when I moved the tv up there. I will find another cable run that through tonight!
I have a 47" led vizio in the bedroom and have not had this problem at all, its been moved a few times as well.
@lmensor: noted.
@lmensor: Yeah, after that happened, I made sure not to connect it again without using the surge protector. I guess those coaxial ports on the surge suppressor are there for a reason!
I don't own a Vizio, but I run all my connections through a surge suppressor and have had no problems. :::knocks on wood:::
I have a Vizio 60 led. Had problems with the HDMI ports saying "No Signal" Here is the fix. Unplug the tv and disconnect all devices from the HDMI ports. Now hold down the power on button on the TV for 30 seconds. Make sure the power is off all the devices you are connecting to the TV. Connect the HDMI cables back into the HDMI ports on the TV. Plug the TV back into the wall Power Outlet. All ports should now work again. Good Luck!
@bowlenj: thank you!!! that worked perfectly
bowlenj you are the man!!! That just saved me a couple hundred bucks!
@bowlenj: O-M-G!!! That worked! I can't believe it. I called Vizio and they were stumped. They said I'd have to replace the main board! You ARE da MAN! Now for fixing my wifi. I think that will be a module replacement, that possibly I can do myself. Thanks again! This internet thingy is great!
@msh9475: Spoke too soon. It only lasts for a couple of minutes. I've done it twice and then it stops working a couple of minutes later. Sigh.
I have a Vizio 47" I've had it over 5 yrs. one night after a storm, one of my HDMI plugs which was connected to cable box does not work.
Same deal with my Vizio 55". HDMI ports stopped working. The TV says NO Signal. If you shut the tv off for a while it will work for a while but then go back to NO Signal. Sometime its sooner then later. Other times the tv will run for hours. Tried switching ports and I could not even get the other ports to work at all.
@bowlenj That did it. Thanks. That was clutch
@bowlenj: You are a genius. I have been searching for an answer to this, had Vizio on the phone, online, and they still couldn't give me such simple and meaningful information. I've had this problem for a while now and your simple answer gave me back my television. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks, I have been down to 1 Hdmi port for 3 months and it started acting weird last night starting with no sound. Did this and all 4 ports are working again.
I just tried that fix and it didn't work but I'm trying again. My HDMI ports are so messed up that each time I turn on the tv I have to scan through and pick the right port for what I want to do and even if the cable box is plugged into port 1 it may work only on port 3! Sometimes there is no signal and sometimes no sound.
@bowlenj: Just tried this with my roommate on his 32 inch Vizio. He got it in either 08 or 09, first time we had an issue was today. Tried your remedy and now both xbox and PlayStation work now. Thank you, you unsung hero of the internet!!!
You're the man. It worked for me also. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Jim Stone
@bowlenj: Initially, I was a bit skeptical of the fix you described, but I gave it a shot and it actually worked! Thanks for providing us with a clear, concise, and correct solution. Vizio should really include this information in the owner's manual.
@bowlenj: Breh omg. That worked like crazy. Like i can't even right now.
My TV is a 32 Inch Vizio(can't think of the proper model name), LCD. I got it way back in 2011 and all of a sudden the second HDMI Port just failed and stop receiving the data sent by my game consoles.
You are a life-saver. #SelfTechSupport
Just found this thread and it worked on my vizio 50" 4k! Thanks!
Amazing! Worked perfectly!! Thank you!
Awesome, worked GREAT!! Thank you!!!
to answer, "Has this happened to you?" Yes, and on two different Vizio TVs. The reset for 30 seconds thing did not work for me and I ended up having to replace the main boards. I am becoming very disenchanted with HDMI ports because they seem trouble prone and unreliable
I have this problem, but only with the HDMI feed from my DirectTV receiver. I turn the TV and satellite receiver on, see the "no signal" message, then unplug/plug-in the HDMI cable. Everything works fine until I turn the TV off; I have to repeat the process every time I turn on the TV.
I am glad that the @bowlenj answer worked for so many people, but it did not work for me.
I have a Vizio 55". Had it for several years, no problem, then while I am watching Google Fiber on HDMI 1, the screen goes blank. I first thought there was a Google Fiber feed issue, but as I tried my DVD player on HDMI 2, and my Amazon Firestick on HDMI 3, and my Roku 3 on HDMI 4, "No Signal" on all HDMI choices.
I tried Netflix through the Vizio SmartTV (no HDMI needed), and that worked fine. So basically everything on the TV looks like it is working fine, including selecting which HDMI input you want to use, just nothing is coming through on any HDMI path.
I was puzzled that the instructions indicated to hold the power button for 30 seconds with the TV unplugged. I thought, "How could that do anything," so I tried it as instructed and I also tried it after plugging the TV back into the power outlet.
Nothing worked for me. Any other ideas? Thank you.
I'm in the same boat. I have a 55" Vizio smart tv. Seems like I have Had problems with it ever since I got it. Two of my four Hdmi ports stopped working and my sound/speakers went out. Fortunately I was able to get a sound bar and run my sound through that. I called Vizio they walked me through every possible fix solution and nothing worked. Come to find out I was about 45 days out of warranty so they were done with me. They referred me to their tv repair company which was going to cost me a minimum of $375. Not sure if it's really worth it next time I'm buying a Samsung!
BowlenJ gave me the fix I needed. I was told there was not a repair person in my area. I was going to need to get a new tv. I tried this and it worked. Thanks
I had the same issue with my Vizio 42 inch tTV.At first it was sound would nit work, but I had the picture. I would pull out HDMI cables and plug back in, turn TV and cable box on and off. Eventually I would get sound back. I recently changed cable boxes to all digital the only problem is Vizio tTV.Howwevr I do sometime have same issue on Sylvania Tv in bedroom, but it fixes easily by unplugging and plugging back HDMI cables. The Vizio TV takes longer. But I am able to fix it by siwthcing cables, unplugging and plugging HDMI cables and turning off TV and cable box and turning them back on. I figure the connection gets loose or dust. Its will work fine for months then back to no connection. Play with HDMi cables and it works fine.
I have a Vizio 32" and trying the deal with the TV unplugged didn't work. My TV flashed a "retrieving data" message theen went right back to "no signal." both of my HDMI ports won't work. Been trying to fix this for over a year now =/
bowlenj - you are frickin amazing! Thank you so much for saving us from going out and buying a new tv. You are the best!!!

BEAUREGARD, Ala. (AP) - Two people have been killed and two others injured in the crash of a single-engine plane in a pasture in east Alabama.
Lee County Sheriff's Captain Van Jackson said deputies responded to a call late Friday morning regarding a downed plane near the Beauregard community, about half a mile off Lee Road 112.
Sheriff Jay Jones said deputies located the plane by using cell-phone technology. He said the two injured were taken to East Alabama Medical Center.
The sheriff said Federal Aviation Administration officials in Birmingham have been contacted to investigate.
A message left with the FAA was not immediately returned Friday.

A new museum at WCU
Published: Sunday, January 11, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 11, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
Western Carolina University's Art Museum is an important teaching and research collection of over 500 works of art. In March the art will leave the Belk Gallery and inadequate storage rooms and move into 5,000 square feet of environmentally-controlled storage and exhibition space in the newly constructed Fine and Performing Arts Center. Studios, offices, classrooms and the museum space will be occupied over the spring semester. The 1,000-seat performance space of the Arts Center will be the last portion to be completed, with an inaugural performance now scheduled for October.
The acquisition of art at WCU was directed until last summer by Robert Godfrey of the Fine Arts faculty, who focused on under-recognized American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Many of these artists are teachers. Others are less-well-known participants in important American movements such as abstract expressionism. Works by important figures such as Lewis Finkelstein and Kenneth Knowland have been acquired. An oversized Knowland work, 14x4-feet, has been loaned to the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio, until adequate space was available in the new building.
Martin DeWitt arrived in the fall of 2003 as the first full-time director for the museum in Cullowhee. He is now supervising the examination, photographing and cataloguing of the present collection in preparation for an orderly move into the new space.
Articulate and personable, DeWitt has been involved in arts management since he was in junior high school in Galesburg, Ill. While they were in high school his older brother and he were instrumental in moving the annual Galesburg Art Guild show from the YMCA to a downtown storefront that they negotiated. Both brothers became artists, but in addition to his master of fine arts degree from Illinois State University, DeWitt took a master's degree from Western Illinois University and developed administrative skills.
With time out to paint under a fellowship in Brooklyn and later for a year in Manhattan, his career moved into museum administration. He became the executive director of the Burpee Art Museum in Rockford, Ill., and then in 1986 became collections curator and director of exhibitions at the Tweed Museum of Art, a part of the University of Minnesota-Duluth. In 1990 he became director of the Tweed Museum.
Under DeWitt's direction the museum acquired an important collection of contemporary American and Native American art to supplement its founding Tweed family collection of 19th and 20th century American art. When he interviewed at WCU last spring, DeWitt displayed slides of some wonderful paintings by George Morrison from the Grand Portage Band of Great Lakes Chippewa, who had studied in Europe and New York in mid-century and then established a home and studio overlooking Lake Superior where he painted abstract art based on the variable lake sprawled before him until his death in 2000.
DeWitt's experience is ideal for a teaching and research museum in these parts. He expects to continue the emphasis on under-recognized American artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, participate with other Western North Carolina campuses in Appalachian craft exhibitions, and involve local Cherokee artists in his future plans. In short, once the dust settles from the building move, he will build on the fine base that he inherits in Cullowhee and move the museum into its next stage of excellence.

Is there (or can there be?) a feature to get an iCal-link for each event that works with iPhone, just like there is one now for Google Calendar?
Many thanks, E.
Is there (or can there be?) a feature to get an iCal-link for each event that works with iPhone, just like there is one now for Google Calendar?
Many thanks, E.
Not yet, but I will definitely look into for this for 1.6
Do you have an idea of when 1.6 will be ready? Really like your plugin and it's perfect for a client except for this missing detail.
Hi eBierek,
Sorry for the delay. End of October is the planned release date for 1.6.
Just to clarify - are you referring to the agenda widget, or the
[eo_subscribe] shortcode?
Hello Stephen,
No worries. I'm referring to a calendar link for each event ([eo_subscribe]), that works with iCal/iPhone, just like the one you have already for Google calendar. So user can add the event to her/his own calendar just by clicking the link.
It's a great plugin!
Thank you in advance,
Hi Stephen,
Just wondering how the release 1.6 is coming along?
Best regards,
End of October was a bit optimistic :).
It's practically ready to go, I'm holding fire until WP3.5 comes out (that should be out on the 5th I think).
The **beta** version is available here, for testing: https://github.com/stephenh1988/Event-Organiser/tree/dev
I've added the 'ical' attribute to the subscribe link. This creates a link to the ICS feed (so you'll need to enable this in the settings). This *should* be recognised by iPhone/iPad. I don't own one, so please test it and let me know if it works!
Ok, I will definitely test it and get back to you.
Thanks for the beta! :)
This was included in 1.6 - you can find out more here: http://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/1-6-released/
Hi again,
I have had a chance to test this now and sorry to say that
[eo_subscribe title="Subscribe to our events" type="webcal"] Subscribe to Events [/eo_subscribe] does not work with iPhone (ical).
[eo_subscribe title="Prenumerera med Google kalender" type="google"] Subscribe to Events with GC [/eo_subscribe] works great for Google Calendar though.
I think this shortcode must produce an event_name.ics link to be downloaded to the iphone/Apple Calendar app.
Yes, generating an ics for that event is what it should be doing (as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/168440/how-do-you-add-a-link-that-will-add-an-event-to-your-iphone-calendar-from-safari). There didn't seem to be an alternative.
Is the ics file generating OK?
[eo_subscribe title="Subscribe to our events" type="webcal"] Subscribe to Events [/eo_subscribe]
gives me an error on both iPhone and Calendar app on Mac computer (via Chrome). This is the error message: "The data downloaded from webcal://www.domain.com?feed=eo-events isn't valid."
Is it possible to produce an ics-file for just one event? Not the whole calendar?
For example, create a link like: "Add THIS event to my calendar".
Mmm... it should only be trying to the ics file for the particular event you're on. I'll look into that.
Otherwise, it seems that this error and the other one you posted could be related? (Isn't valid == space at beginning of file).
Seconding the hope for a .ics file for an individual event - subscribing to this thread :)
Hi again, sorry for late reply. If the general website feed is broken (www.domain.com/feed), can that affect the webcal://www.domain.com?feed=eo-events ?

Delcam to preview PowerMILL 10 with global webinars
Delcam and its international network of Sales Partners will preview the latest new version of the PowerMILL CAM system with a global series of webinars next week. More than 20 Sales Partners in 15 countries will be hosting webinars to demonstrate the new features in the program during the week. A full list of the dates, times and languages can be found at http://www.powermill.com/globalpreview/.
The new release of PowerMILL offers Delcam's fastest-ever programming through a unique combination of background-processing and multi-threading technologies that will increase productivity and reduce lead times. Tests at Delcam indicate that a dual core computer running PowerMILL 10 will perform raster machining calculations in around 55% of the time taken by a single core machine with PowerMILL 9, while a quad core machine will complete the calculations in around 35% of the time.
Perhaps even more important is that PowerMILL 10 will eliminate any waiting time for the user. Strategies and parameters for one operation can be prepared and edited in the foreground, while calculating other toolpaths in the background using the full power of the multi-core machine. Calculations can be queued by the operator and the software will automatically start the next operation as soon as each toolpath is generated.
Other enhancements in the new release to further increase productivity include reduced memory usage when programming the largest and most complex parts, and improved ordering to give faster cycle times on the machine tool.
