No Cute Android Pins, No Schmidt, No Slide: Google Tones Down Its Presence At MWC This Year
We're now about a week away from the start of the Mobile World Congress, the large, annual European mobile event put on by the GSM Association that has served as a barometer of the progress of the wireless industry. In planning out what TechCrunch will be doing and seeing during the week in Barcelona, we've noticed a gap: Google, and specifically its mobile OS Android, is… Read More
GSMA Says It Has 'Contingency Plans' In Place For MWC Strike. I'm Getting A Bike
This is definitely one way for unions to get some attention for their cause: as of this time of writing, public transport employees in Barcelona will be striking during the Mobile World Congress trade show, due to take place between February 27 and March 1. That means no buses and no metros (subways) for an event that last year attracted more than 60,000 people to the city — many of whom… Read More

How To Watch Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Clasico Online Today
The single biggest game in European soccer takes place in a few hours (3pm ET). It's Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, and I can think of no better way to ease into the work week than to follow the game online. (Or, if you're playing hooky today, watching it on GolTV or ESPN Deportes.) Thankfully it's the year 2010 (nearly 2011!) so it's pretty easy to keep up with the likes… Read More
The Champions League final will be in HD on ESPNHD today
Good news, sports fans in the U.S.! It looks like ESPN will broadcast today's Champions League final in HD on ESPNHD. Well, at least according to the schedule on its Web site. Why the network didn't bother showing the whole tournament in HD when UEFA provides an HD feed, I don't know. Read More
Chelsea-Barça shows the need for video replay in UEFA competitions
I've purposely held this story for a few days in order to let inflamed passions simmer down. As many of you (I hope) are aware, FC Barcelona beat Chelsea FC last week in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals; Barça now goes on to face Manchester United FC in the final in Rome. What concerns us here at CrunchGear is the use of technology in the game of European football… Read More
MC is Barcelona bound
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona kicks off in just 3 days, and we're headed out the door for the first leg of our trip. We're still a car, train, and plane ride away – but Barcelona, here we come! So what can we expect? Too much to list. Samsung is bringing all kinds of stuff (but no Android, and no 12MP camera phone, according to SamsungCentral). All sorts of Android… Read More
ZOMG: Condoms for bikes

FC Barcelona striker Eto'o loves Nikon SLRs
[photopress:etoopic1.jpg,full,center] FC Barcelona, més que un club, tore apart Levante UD at the weekend, with Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o scoring a hat-trick (that's three goals for the uninitiated) in the process. After he scored his third goal, Eto'o raced toward the touchline and grabbed a digital camera. What brand of digital camera, you ask? Thanks to… Read More
NVIDIA going mobile with APX 2500 cell phone chip
What say you to the idea of cramming an NVIDIA GeForce chip into your cell phone? It's coming, and in high definition too. The NVIDIA APX 2500 is an ultra-low power mobile applications processing platform that's recently been announced at the MWC in Barcelona. The new chipset will basically allow you to (among other things) capture and/or play back 720p movies and take photos at… Read More
Hands on with LG's great big shining stars
Here we have the KF700 and KF600 in all their haptic, touchscreen glory. Can we expect these stateside? Probably not, but it's nice to know we can drool. Oh, and the "watch phone" was there for all to ogle and shoot. Both phones are very slick and very dark, a massive change from their "Shine" movement of a few years ago. Read More -

TechCrunch/CrunchGear/MobileCrunch Barcelona Meet-up – UPDATE!!
We will hold tomorrow's TC/CG/MC meet-up at the Cafe del Sol, Av Paral.lel 182, right down the street from the Fira.

SkyNet is online in Barcelona, doing well
An actual company in Barceona SkyNet was brought online on August 4, 1997 and immediately crashed. Disheartened, it settled in the outskirts of Barcelona, met a nice girl with a tongue stud, and now works as a web designer and makes and sells its own candles online. It still has a grudge against Sarah Connor, but it's in therapy and… Read More -

15. Aquarium
from Mac Miller (Ft. Ab-Soul, Larry Fisherman & RandomBlackDude) – Watching Movies With The Sound Off (Credits) Lyrics on Genius
Glance Over The Lyrics & Explanations Here!
This track may very well be Mac's magnum opus, the song that we look at already in his short career as the culmination of his artistry. Larry Fisherman makes a return, with another perfectly tweaked sample, as Mac Miller comes with, as he says;
This is Mac's comment on America, a place where he grew up idolizing and frowning upon issues such as celebrity culture, ambition in life & the idea of truth itself.
If you're so obsessed with Kanye (West) & Kim Kardashian having a baby — low key the government might just fuck some shit up and you wont even know. Just started a nuclear war and you wouldn't even know it.

Step 1: Point of Origin Sorting | Step 2: Collection by Physical Plant | Step 3: Oneida-Herkimer and Beyond |
Every day the custodial staff collects the bags from every garbage and recycling bin on campus. The groundsperson above, Mo, allowed us to follow him on his route and take the pictures you see here. Bags are collected from every residence hall, class, and administrative building and brought to Physical Plant's main facility on Griffin Road, for sorting before being shipped to the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority (OHSWA).
At the main facility Physical Plant keeps three blue dumpsters and a trash compactor. Each recycling bin has a corresponding dumpster where bags of that item are collected, and all garbage is compacted before removal. Nearly every day a physical plant hook-lift truck carries the recyclables to OHSWA.

The kids would show up at the darnedest times, wandering into dangerous places, laughing, offering their practiced reviews on the Marines moving through their village.
"Marine number one."
Or maybe "number 10." It depended on a lot of things.
It is one of the enduring memories — kids being kids, fitting their childhood around the war and providing an innocent counterpoint to the cruel and the crazy.
Joe Rowe remembers them. Even now, as the deadly legacy of Vietnam moves through his body, he works to make life better for the children in that place that so many of us have been unable to leave behind. He is about building schools and libraries and helping the Vietnamese while honoring the Americans who fought there.
Rowe, who lives in Charlestown, talked about it Wednesday while his lifelong friend, Bruce Roscoe, took his picture. They were at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Wakefield. Roscoe, a well-known portrait photographer in Arizona, was on a mission. He came east when he learned Rowe was dying of lung cancer. He came to take a portrait of the friend he's known since childhood.
"It's for his family," said Roscoe.
He set up shop, appropriately, at the VFW.
"It's important," said Steve Stewart, the senior vice commander of the post. "It's a fellow veteran."
It was a tough shoot for Roscoe. He was looking through the lens at a man he has known since they were young kids growing up in Springfield, Mass. He was asking his friend to move a little this way, a little that way.
"Move your chin down just a hair, Joe."
Roger Salls, a photographer and friend of Rocoe from Connecticut, came to Wakefield to help with the shoot. Chris Garrison, of Garrison Design LLC in Providence, provided the equipment that would have been impossible for Roscoe to carry on the plane.
It was an afternoon remarkable for its emotion, its history, its connections. There were reminders that the veterans of Vietnam are drawn to the country where they fought in ways veterans of other wars will never be.
Roscoe was a combat photographer in Vietnam. He is pretty sure that he and Rowe were in the same battles in 1967-68. He knows they both walked through the same deadly poison that has left tens of thousands of Vietnam veterans wondering whether they are carrying the seed of their own destruction.
Rowe says his cancer was diagnosed about a year ago.
"My doctor told me it was caused by Agent Orange."
He didn't know. None of us knew. The defoliant that was sprayed in Vietnam to expose enemy positions was a killer. But neither its manufacturer nor the officials who condoned its use provided any warning of its deadly long-term effect. No one considered the birth defects, the cancers, the fact that Agent Orange meant the Vietnam War would continue killing Americans and Vietnamese for decades.
"We were there," said Rowe. "We were exposed."
He is 66. He enlisted in the Marines in 1967.
"From the time I was 4 years old, I knew it's what I wanted to be," he said.
When he got to Vietnam in the fall of 1967, he was a rifleman assigned to Golf Company, 2nd battalion, 5th Marine regiment. He was in I Corps in the northern most part of South Vietnam. He was wounded twice.
When he came home, he said, he was "as intact as any of us."
He and his family did some traveling. Rowe was a farmer, a builder, a chef. He plays guitar and flute, two instruments he held while Roscoe photographed him at the VFW.
And he works with an organization called PeaceTrees VietNam to raise money for schools and libraries.
In 18 years, PeaceTrees has built 8 kindergartens and 11 libraries in Vietnamese villages. It has also worked on de-mining and removing unexploded ordnance.
Two of the kindergartens bear the names of people in Rowe's platoon — David Warner and Jesse Griego — who were killed in action.
He has put out the word. He has contacted members of the Gulf 2/5 Association and other Marines and Vietnam veterans who have been very generous.
"It's good that we remember those guys, and it helps the people in Vietnam."
For more information, go to peacetreesvietnam.org. And Rowe said people can contact him directly: (401) 322-0117; email@example.com.
He wants to see a library built in the tiny village of Mo O before he dies.
"It's a new concept," he said. "It's to help the mothers. It will have classes in how to start businesses, take out loans. And there will be a safe house for battered women — a place of their own."
Rowe asked Roscoe for a donation. Roscoe said he had a problem with that. He was still carrying a lot of anger, still dealing with PTSD. But he turned to the Bible, he said, to the book of Matthew and to words of forgiveness.
"I called Joe letting him know I would donate," said Roscoe. "As soon as I spoke the words, I felt a big relief."
As he finished what he knows will be the most emotional photo shoot of his life on Wednesday, Roscoe moved to his computer to look at the results.
"I want to bring out the strength and the sensitivity," he said.
He pulled it off beautifully.

I also finally made it to the Arcade Event and only liked a few things that I felt I needed to have-one being these Noodle tiaras. I ended up going back twice (first time I got two silver tiaras) and figured I would try my luck to get a diamond silver one..no luck with that and instead I got a ton of doubles in the GOLD tiaras's. So, if any of you gatcha hoarders have any to trade with me I'll gladly trade you for most of the silver tiaras :)
I am also showing two sets of booties from Redgrave (top row) and The Bishes (bottom) so take you pick on which style/prints you prefer- lots of options for different looks. Mons also put out some pretty lips and eyeshadows for the current new TDR Fusion (guess this is a merged event of the two previous TDR's-not sure why they even had two separate setups with similar event names to begin with.)

LC-A Goes To: Cesena and Cesenatico
If you want to spend a weekend near the sea but do not want to restrict yourself to the usual routine consisting of the hotel and the beach, I recommend taking a trip to Cesena and Cesenatico, two towns located on the Adriatic coast of central Italy. I did mine by combining sunbathing and cultural excursions.This was documented with my trusty Lomo LC-A. Have a look! -

FC Fossombrone
This football team, in my view, is a legend. Without any achievements and success. The FC Fossombrone is playing the sixth Italian league and their games are only to be seen in the stadium and on their webpage. The story behind the team is that it was bought by the Belgian designer Dirk Bikkemberg. He turned this club around and gave it a complete make over. He designed the complete gear from socks to the under-wears and shirts. He built a new stadium with the green and the flags all designed. The jersey with the blue spiral and the white ground is the prettiest in the world. I read about this team in a German newspaper and it right away strike me, that Bikkemberg finalized the symbiosis between fashion and sport. The players of the team are also the models of Bikkemberg regular collection and star of his commercials. -

It is an internationally famous resort of Europe, with its picturesque and spectacular landscape, mild climate and luxuriant vegetation. The climate favors a beautiful botanic garden on the lake shore, with exotic and rare plants including even those from the subtropical zone. The lake has many islands and some of them are famous for their lovely parks and pretty villas. -

In "Riddle and Mystery," a Tapestry of Faith program
This two-part activity lays groundwork for youth to learn the concept of humanism. First, teach the terms "cosmic," "quotidian" and "butterfly effect." Next, invite youth to respond to some questions using these terms.
Part 1. Point out the words you have written on newsprint and say:
Let's think again about today's Big Question: Where are we going? There are many, many answers. We'll come up with some that are cosmic and some that are quotidian.
Invite the group to call out answers to "Where are we going?" Identify any answers that are obviously cosmic in focus (existential, pertaining to the future of humankind) and those that are equally obviously quotidian (mundane, concrete, related to daily life). Explain that "cosmic" refers to everything there is—the whole universe, the whole cosmos. "Quotidian" is sort of the opposite. It is a fancy word for "daily " so it refers to something ordinary that might happen every day. Say, in your own words:
A sneeze is a quotidian event. Or is it? Maybe that depends on what happens after the sneeze. Maybe the sneeze wakes up a nearby mouse that runs into a field where it scares a huge elephant... and things build up from there. A chain of events like that is called the "butterfly effect."
Ask if anyone knows what the "butterfly effect" is. Affirm or explain briefly:
The butterfly effect is the idea that a tiny butterfly flaps its wings and changes the air just a little bit in a way that changes something else that changes something else until in the end something as huge as a hurricane results. That is a quotidian event turning into something cosmic.
Part 2. Say the group now has the vocabulary it needs to answer some questions. Distribute two white and two yellow cards to each participant (other contrasting colors will also work). Explain that the youth are to hold the cards up to respond to the questions. Holding up one yellow card means, "I agree." Holding up two yellow cards means, "I really, really agree." One white card means "I disagree." Two white cards mean, "I really, really disagree." Indicate the summary of this code on newsprint, if you have made and posted one.
Ask the questions on Leader Resource 1, allowing comments and discussion after each. As suggested on the leader resource, note humanist belief in the human role in our own shared future.

Cartoons of Mass Destruction: The Whole Story Behind the Danish 12
In 2006, 12 Danish cartoonists controversially drew pictures of Muhammad at the urging of Flemming Rose, the culture editor of the weekly Jyllands-Posten. This news story from The Comics Journal #275 (April 2006) offers a multitude of perspectives — from cartoonists, Danes, Muslims, Danish Muslims — and is being rerun to help supply context for the Charles Hebdo killings.

Tor Browser Bundle User Reviews
"Greate software!"
Version: Tor Browser Bundle 4.0
Greate software!
Greate software!
"It is different and has links to some unusual websites."
Version: Tor Browser Bundle 3.6.2
It is kind of a cool search tool with apps and much to read and discover. Some of the content is not accessed on the regular web and that is both a blessing for surfers and a curse for TOR's administration, I would think. TOR's administration must have their hands full putting out fires as some of the websites have been raided by the FBI apparently. I'll leave the discussion at that point and leave it to those who wish to research more on the specifics.
For the average Internet user or just to surf the web, using TOR is fraught with too many warnings about turning off plug ins and many other things people normally do and the reason is security so that you will not break privacy and reveal your IP address, etc. But trying it is a different experience and a lesson in Internet security to some extent.
The surfing experience lacks the ease and shine of the regular Internet. It is good for users who are concerned about their privacy to quite an extent such as Wikileaks contributors or whistle blowers or if you are in a witness protection program somewhere. Seriously.
"Make sure you only download from torproject.org!!!"
Version: Tor Browser Bundle 3.5.4
Lets you browse internet without government trying to get up your ass and without companies trying to track everything you do so they can get you to watch their ads to make half a penny off of you. I hate how so many companies wouldnt mind wasting a day of your life to get a few cents from advertising. Its disgusting
Are none if you download real tor. Its a simple browser and less invasive than any other I know. As in, its not in the battle between firefox, chrome and explorer to become your default browser. Tor is just there when you need it, and stays out of your face completely unless you need it.
Bing is probably the worst search engine out there. I believe it accepts payments in return for higher placing on the search result so its no wonder that some bullshizz sites come up before the real site when using bing. i tried to download first search result and it was CLEARLY not the real tor but some cookie/virus.
"Yes, I like it but.."
Version: Tor Browser Bundle 184.108.40.206
Interesting and effective. Has unusual links and links not always available elsewhere.
Many links are now not working to to legal action. It seems sort of overkill without surfing sites that would be banned on regular Internet.

It is anonymous and so under the guise of such hidden services, one can probably surf uninhibited by snoops although who that is depends on other factors I imagine. I am no expert there. Integrates into Firefox.
Java script is said to be better off disabled as it is used by the various bad guys to attack unsuspecting net surfers. Plug-ins I am unclear on as some seem to either not work or it is recommended not to use add ons and such.

installed adware onto IE and firefox
I've used the basic Tor browser before and it's pretty good but this bundle for some reason installed adware silently onto both browsers, I started getting pop ups for surveys sales etc. So one set of uninstalling odd programs, malware scan and resetting of browsers later I'm back to normal. Avoid this download Tor on its own

Back in October at a F5 user group meeting I first heard about F5's new user tool to aid in supporting BigIP devices. It is designed to be a proactive tool that users can use to resolve issues themselves or identify issues before they become a problem. Lets go through the process of checking this tool out. As with most vendors they have a command that generates everything someone from support would want to see. F5 is no exception, what they have is called a QKView. To generate one login into the GUI of a BigIP device and go to System > Support and this is page that generates a new one. Simply click start with QKview boxed checked (no need for TCPDump in this case) and a few minutes later you have your freshly generated support file. If you have an old one already generated it will instead be prompting you to download it. When the new one is done download it and head on over to iHealth.f5.com. Since this is a support tool you will need a valid support contract to access this site. Once you login you will be presented with a simple screen to upload the new QKview file. Go ahead and upload your file.
After time you will have a number of files listed on the front page. You also notice you can enter F5 case numbers and internal help desk ticket numbers for better tracking of what was going on with that QKview.
As you can see I have files going back to October. Not sure if they have a space limit but so far this is a great archive of your support files so bonus there. Now select the report you want to view and it takes you to a main info page. This is a summary of pretty much everything you would like to know at a glance. At the top it tells you how many issues it has found and classifies them into high, medium and informational. You also can see if a upgrade is recommended or not. The rest of the page is filled with general info such a hardware info, number of servers, nodes, etc configured, the current software running and the license status.
The number one concern is the two high vulnerabilities:
The first alert is a password issue. Since this box is a dev device I know it has weak passwords so I am not worried about it. But as you can see it not only identifies real problems but helps you with best practices. Now the next alert is a concern. I can see it is not something an upgrade will fix so I need to go read up on how to fix it. The good news is that it tells me the solution I need and I can just click on that link and it takes me to the solution. In this case it is a real issue but I already have identified it and how to fix it before anything goes wrong! Got to love a tool that does that. If we keep poking around the interface we find a number of useful tools such as graphs, for example here is CPU:
Now remember how it let you keep old copies of the files? Now you have a nice historical archive of graphs you can look back on. We also can drill down and see parts of the config, for example here is virtual server and all it connects to such as pools, nodes, monitors, etc (if you're wondering about the % after IP's that is how different route domains [VRF's] show up):
Now I could click on every link I don't see the point at this point. You get the general idea. Part of our job as network engineers is to make sure the network is always up. This tool that is included with your support contract is a great way to identify and repair issues before they happen. This is also a great archive tool too as it does have a complete copy of your config (minus SSL private keys) that you can go back to later if need to compare. High five to F5 for making this tool public. A win-win for sure, we fix problems and don't have to call support. If you have F5 devices you need to check out this tool.
So after I write this up becuase I did not find much info on it around the internet I see this in my RSS feed:
In 5 Minutes or Less Video – F5's iHealth System
He did a better job showing you around then I did, good video of what this tool has to offer.

He also request to all ISP to limit their bandwidth and block unnecessary service or low priority like P2P applications, browsing of porn other game website etc.
2. See bellow the 'traceroute' from both BTCL and Mango. By the way, as I am on GSM Network, ignore the time to reach the next destination and for privacy, first few path has been removed.

4. It seems that BTCL has successfully take care of the incident. Though the fiber problem still in place, BTCL manage to give all most 80+% of service to it's user. This is really nice. At last BTCL is active.
ALL Thanks & Credits goes to BTCL's Top to Low Level Engineers. We are (We the ISPs are) very happy to see this type of prompt service from BTCL. And hope BTCL will continue this type of support in future.

5. LAST UPDATE: Today, 7th November, 2010 from Aprox 02:00 to 03:25 Hour BDT [GMT + 06] BTTB Internet was DOWN. I have confirmed it from different source and every source expect BTCL has confirm the downtime. It seems that BTCL has properly restore it's full capacity during the downtime. But BTCL should issue some kind of Preses Release or Possible Maintainability Schedule before starting the job. So user like us can get prepared to take care of customer support issue.
Anyway, I hope this is the end of This issue, if anything arise again, I will start thread. Thanks to all for your support.

Jake is that annoying office worker who cracks puns all day, much to the dismay of his co-workers, who balk at his hideous jokes. Finally, after hearing the ten-thousandth pun of the day, they exact revenge on him.
But does it really matter?
This short is like a "Saturday Night Live" skit that thinks it's funnier than it actually is, and lasts twice as long as it should. Although the puns are supposed to be annoying, the reactions, which should have been key to the joke, are lame and uninspired, and the payoff, meant to be the actual punch line, it worthless.
This short's only saving grace is it's length—seven minutes. Had it been any longer, it would have been unwatchable.

Kairat Umarov
Republic of Kazakhstan Ambassador Kairat Umarov addresses an audience of about 15 people to answer questions about the current, post-Soviet atmosphere of the country.
Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the United States Kairat Umarov spoke to students and faculty in Thomson Hall Thursday morning about the "Kazakhstan 2050" plan for the nation's future.
Umarov, who became ambassador Jan. 14 after serving four years as deputy foreign minister of Kazakhstan, previously held numerous other distinguished positions in foreign service, including a five-year stint as the country's ambassador to India from 2004 to 2009.
His discussion yesterday focused on the recent success of Kazakhstan's development post-independence in 1991 and their goals to be reached before the year 2050.
"Central Asia is becoming a key area," Umarov said. "Kazakhstan was once an impoverished and insignificant country. After gaining independence, many thought we would not survive, but history proves a different story. Kazakhstan is now one of the most successful areas in central Asia."
Umarov said that according to the World Economic Forum's yearly report, Kazakhstan is currently ranked 49th, and the ranking shows the nation's fast development. However, the country's goal is to become one of the top 30 most developed nations by 2050.
Senior Ekaterina Balakireva, president of the Association of Central Asian students, said she thought the 2050 plan was very ambitious.
"I was surprised that they said that they already fulfilled their 2030 plan in half the time they had expected," Balakireva said. "They are definitely one of the most successful republics out of the five countries that were left after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. You can see the progress they've made."
Umarov said the nation, which is approximately four times the size of Texas, owes much of their economic success to their refrainment from conflict.
"We are one of the only countries in the world without conflict; we do not accept the concept of using force in international affairs; we think it should be done only through negotiation," he said. "We are so principled on that because in the early days of our independence, we decided to get rid of our nuclear weapons. We were asked to keep this arsenal, but all of this is gone."
As one of the youngest nations in the world, Kazakhstan faced severe economic depression in the 1990s just after gaining independence, but then experienced fast growth in the early 2000s due to a strong demand for oil, its main export.
In addition to discussing the plan for 2050, Umarov explained the importance of maintaining and recovering Kazakh culture, which was damaged during and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. He said citizens of Kazakhstan have been returning to the Kazakh language, which was spoken less frequently prior to independence. The nation is teaching the Kazakh language in all schools, as well as Russian and English, encouraging the new generation to be trilingual.
Balakireva, who visited Kazakhstan last summer, says the majority of citizens she met in rural areas spoke three languages or more, with English usually present in urban areas.
"They tend to speak Kazakh and Russian, which they learn in school," she said. "In more urban areas they are putting an emphasis on English knowledge. Many students from other central Asian republics go to Kazakhstan for their educational institutions because of their reputation."
Umarov said students have helped with the success of Kazakh culture and politics through their desire to live and work in the country.
"We have people who can tackle the issues of our nation today," he said. "We are preparing our young people to be competitive inside of Kazakhstan and outside."

DDR-2 in a bit of detail
While it has been covered on a few other sites, we really haven't touched on it here at TweakTown in terms of the improvements that DDR-2 has over DDR.
DDR used a simple technique - take the existing SDRAM memory and use both the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle to transmit data rather than just the falling of SDRAM. This allowed the memory buffer to send 2 bits of data per clock rather than 1.
DDR-2 uses a 4 bit buffer, so rather than sending 2 bits from the memory cell to the memory buffer, it sends 4. This is why DDR-2 manages to scale so far. To get 400MHz out of DDR, you need the memory cell to be running at 200MHz. To get 400MHz out of DDR-2, the memory cell only runs at 100MHz. This is why we have DDR-2 800 already. We are using the same 200MHz clocked cells, only for DDR-2 this equates to a rating of 800MHz.
Clearer Signalling
DDR-2 was setup for speed from the beginning, in order to ensure a cleaner data signal; a new feature was added to DDR-2, called On-Die Termination. In DDR, the terminating resistors for signal rebound and noise dissipation were put on the board itself next to the DDR slots. This can and did result in some boards having memory signal issues due to cross talk - the longer the trace path has to go, the more it is susceptible to noise (errors).
DDR-2 modules have a series of resistors built directly into the memory chip that acts as the terminating system. This means there is very little chance of external noise interfering with the memory signal as there are no traces for the termination system external to the chips.
When you look at the actual package of the DDR and DDR-2 modules, they almost look identical. This is where things end; DDR uses a 168-pin interface to connect the memory to the board and DDR-2 uses 240 pins. Electrically these modules are also totally different - DDR uses a 2.5v signal and DDR-2 drops this to 1.8v.
DDR-2 is here to stay with both AMD and Intel ratifying DDR2-800 standards for their latest processors and chipsets, with a total of 6.4GB from a single channel DDR2-800 module, that doubles to 12GB with Dual Channel, its clear to see DDR-2 ahs the advantages. We'll see DDR-3 soon but that is still some time away from being released into the market.

So I realized that you need a lot of pea plants to grow enough peas for a decent plate of peas and I frankly don't have the space especially when growing in 5 gal buckets to plant that many peas and still be able to grow other vegs. So I decided that this fall I will be planting peas for pea shoots since they have been quite expensive in Chinese supermarkets lately $3.50 to $5 a pound! And because I can space the plants a lot closer together.
But my problem is, what kind peas should I be planting? Those ment to become snow peas? snap peas? Has anyone tried planting for pea shoots? Any recommendations on what type of pea gives a great tasting shoot? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have experience with pea shoots before except maybe eating it once, but I looked around and found that:
I think you can use any kind of pea, but sugar peas & yard beans( a running southern pea, sssssssssssshhh do not tell anyone:-) are the only one I have tried. |
Snow peas seem to put out some of the thickest shoots. They bounce back pretty quickly after a picking, too. I've been surprised, though, when dry seed from some of my soup peas fell to the ground & germinated in the Fall... some of those young shoots were tasty. |
Below is a link to an interesting thread on growing pea shoots. Jim |

The laws of physics don't apply in Toontown, where cartoon characters live and SUVs act like sports cars. In Toontown, Infiniti's new FX50 accelerates quicker than a G37, matches its outstanding braking performance, and then - as its pièce de résistance - rounds corners even more quickly than the sport coupe. The story is similar with Toontown's BMW X6 - it sticks with the twin-turbo 335i coupe in a straight line and can almost match its performance-benchmark prowess in braking and cornering.
Here in the real world, height and weight are the biggest enemies of acceleration, braking, and handling. So how is it that these tall, heavy SUVs can dance with their low-slung coupe siblings? Cue the Looney Tunes music.
The 2003 Infiniti FX wasn't the first SUV with performance credentials - the BMW X5 and the Porsche Cayenne had already proven that even elephants could do ballet. However, the low-roofed, big-wheeled FX was the first SUV that looked the part, sacrificing utility for a lot of sport.
Infiniti's all-new 2009 FX has fallen victim to the latest styling trend: lots of fussy details tacked on to what was a clean, uncluttered design. Witness the angry-crocodile headlights, the clichéd (but functional) fender vents, and the bizarre grille treatment. Thankfully, the new FX keeps the original's stunning Elroy Jetson sports car proportions, which is what you first notice when you see one on the road.
The second-generation FX is two inches longer than the model it replaces, riding on a wheelbase that has been stretched by 1.4 inches. Most of the additional length is forward of the windshield, so space for the FX's five occupants - especially those in the back seat - is still as tight as it was last year, and cargo volume is even less than before. Despite significant increases in rigidity, the FX's new chassis is actually 200 pounds lighter than the previous generation's. Overall weight has increased due to additional content - but only by about 70 pounds.
Infiniti took no chances with the FX's interior - the cockpit is elegant and formal, with diamond-pattern stitching and embroidered logos in the seats. The curved wood inserts in the door panels are particularly beautiful, stained darker at their edges and punctuated with thin chrome surrounds. Most everything you touch feels rich (which was not necessarily the case with the last FX), from the magnesium shift levers to the weighty gear selector.
Like before, the FX is available in two trim levels. The V-6-powered FX35, which should start at about $41,000, receives an updated 303-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 from the G35 sedan. This high-revving six makes 28 hp more than the engine in last year's FX35 and, in conjunction with a brand-new seven-speed automatic transmission, promises acceleration close to that of the V-8-powered FX45.
It won't be stepping on any toes, however, because Infiniti has replaced the FX45 with the FX50. For about $56,000, the FX50 comes with an updated and enlarged 5.0-liter V-8 that produces 390 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque (see Techtonics sidebar). The new V-8 retains all of the qualities that made us fall in love with the last one - linear power delivery and a primal wail straight out of the Italian mountains.
With the help of the new seven-speed automatic, the FX50 not only provides better fuel economy than the FX45, it destroys it at the drag strip, too. The FX50 recoils in rage and explodes off the line, hitting 60 mph in 5.4 seconds - a full second quicker than the last FX45 we tested; 100 mph is yours in only 13.1 seconds, an incredible 4.6 seconds quicker than before. To put this performance in perspective, the FX50's acceleration numbers are identical to those of a Porsche Boxster S.
Luckily, the FX50 isn't all engine and no chassis. Its steering is quick off center, beautifully weighted, and offers plentiful feedback. Our sport-package-equipped test car benefited from Infiniti's rear active steering, which uses an electric motor to turn the rear wheels up to one degree. The result is lightning-quick turn-in and tremendous confidence behind the wheel.
The FX45's biggest shortcoming was an overly harsh ride, and Infiniti has addressed this problem by including Continuous Damper Control in the FX50's sport package. CDC adjusts the shock absorbers in response to changing road conditions, so the new FX's ride is much less harsh - despite huge, twenty-one-inch wheels - and body motions are even better controlled.
Our FX50 test car also was equipped with the technology package, which adds a host of buttons with indecipherable acronyms. Boiled down to English, the buttons control three systems that use a front-mounted laser sensor: Intelligent Cruise Control, which now can bring the vehicle to a complete stop; Distance Control Assist, which applies the brakes automatically, making low-speed traffic conditions a one-pedal operation; and Intelligent Brake Assist, which beeps at the driver and then automatically applies the brakes to lessen the severity of an impact.
The tech package also includes Infiniti's Around View Monitor and Lane Departure Prevention systems. Fully loaded with every available option, our FX had an estimated sticker price of $62,000, which seems expensive only until you look at the BMW's pricing.
Like the Infiniti, the X6 is available in two trim levels; the $53,275 xDrive35i uses the sonorous 300-hp, 3.0-liter twin-turbo in-line six familiar from the 1-, 3-, and 5-series. The xDrive50i model starts at $63,775, but our fully equipped tester shocked us like a party buzzer with an estimated price of more than $80,000.

Dr. Biggers has cared for me over the last 23 years. He is compassionate,knowledgeable and has always treated me with kindness and respect. When he says he'll stop and see you on rounds, he does, even if it is 11 pm at night. He has performed 7 bowel surgeries on me, and every decision to do so was as difficult for him as it was for us. He even helped deliver my baby daughter so he could be there and make sure there were no complications when the OB performed my C-section. He gave me back quality of life - how can you possibly rate a doctor high enough for that?

Dr. Biggers is the best doctor in the business of MD. He nas not only saved my life, but has done it many times. He has done multiple surgeries on me along with assisting in the birth of my daughter. You will never find a better dr than him. His staff is just as great, Kudos to Connie, she is like a mother to my health care and I cannot say enough how much I love Dr, Biggers. My family thinks that he is my savior as well! I would not be where I am today if it were not for him. Thank you Dr. Biggers for being you!!!

My wife and I are in our late 50's, with chronic lower back problems and see the Reisling seems to be a good fit for us. We are in the Northeast Georgia Mountains and can't find a Reisling or comparable mattress to it. We did find a Flat Iron in Atlanta @ Bloomingdales but it was $3,000+. Also today we found a Plaza line in a nearby city and they had the Manhattan Reserve that we seemed to like. They also had a Terrace Room Dreams. Are we anyplace close to the Reisling with either of these? If not, can you give us any suggestions to get something comparable to a Reisling? We would really like to try our mattress out before we bought. Thanks for you help and keep up the great work on your website. Sincerely, George
Hi George, The Manhattan Reserve is a level 6 cushion firm, same as my Abbeville. It's firmer than the Reisling and has the foam injcted edge support that starts at level 6. The Reisling is a level 4. The Flat Iron cushion firm is the same as the Reisling, but the Flat Iron also comes in an ultra plush version. The Terrace Dreams is a level 3 plush pillowtop and is a bit softer than the Reisling. There must be lots of mattress stores in Atlanta. Log onto www.stearnsandfoster.com and enter an Atlanta zipcode into the store locator. It'll show all the S&F dealers in the Atlanta area. You can call around to see who has it. There are several other model names that it goes by, but all will be the "level 4 cushion firm pillowtop".

Former President George H.W. Bush will serve the role of chief spectator at the FBR Open golf tournament this week in Scottsdale.
Like plenty of other fans at the tournament, Bush plans to mix work with leisure during his visit to Arizona.
The former president will serve as the keynote speaker for a meeting today among executives of the tournament's corporate sponsor, Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group, an investment banking firm based in Arlington, Va.,
said tournament spokesman
Rob Myers.
The speaking engagement is set for the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort, Myers said.
"I guess he's going to stick around and catch some golf," he added.
Bush, 82, will watch the first round from the FBR tent off the 18th green, said tournament chairman Pat McGinley. A lift has been installed behind the tent in case Bush, who had hip replacement surgery earlier this month, is unable to climb the stairs.
"The FBR uses this tournament to build and maintain relationships, and with President Bush coming, it really encourages a lot of top-level CEOs of companies to come," McGinley said.
Bush's arrival has created additional security needs, but McGinley said the public shouldn't notice any difference at the tournament.

Wild for Leather

Leather presents itself in many ways this season. The jacket in particular, once reserved for the tough guy, now can be seen nearly anywhere. Paired with this on trend shirt and subdued military green pants makes this look casual but still put together.
