Reviews of the DHS NEO Skyline 3 TG3
AndySmith said this on October 16, 2009:
I switched to this on the b/hand after trying out a H3 Neo for a month or too, and it suited me much better. Found it easier to develop slower loops - surprising for such a hard sponge.
Reasonable pace, nice tack, great serving and general spin generation potential, cheaper than Euro/Jap rubbers. Nowhere near as fast as recent glue-effect rubbers though. Not sure about durability yet...

I use this for my forhand and hurricane 3 neo's for my back hand. This rubber does whatever i want it to and the best part about it is you don't have to glue it.

DHS NEO TG3 is a massive improvement from the old TG3. is not as fast as other tension/pre-glue rubber. compared to previous TG3 alot faster, WAY more CONTROL, MORE SPIN, if previous TG3 has failed you THIS ONE WILL IMPRESS YOU
Saif said this on May 25, 2010:
This is an ideal chinese style rubber for mid distance looping. Compared to H3 neo it is a lot faster, less control and have more direct feeling away from the table.
It's definitely heavy. I recommend it to people who have well developed stroke.
Paulo said this on August 16, 2010:
Before I tried the Skyline III, I tried some of the butterfly falimy such as Bryce Speed and Tenergy 25. I always tought that there was something missing in both, one was good in control but limited in speed ou fast but not enough speed, etc... I was getting tired of both and decided to change to a Skyline III... It was a very great surprise! It has all that lacks in the previous I tried! I'm still having trouble in controling it because it is very fast in returns, both close and far from the table, but the angle is great. Returning hits that would go down to the net are passing back and much faster now. It a rubber worth trying, a great experience for those who like fast and controled playing. And the price is very affordable, half of the butterfly with a better result!!

This is the stuff. You will have more fun and win more with this rubber then with Tenergy. Control and power is all there. There is really nothing wrong with it. Great for blocking and looping. I had problems killing the ball with it at first, but who needs a kill with a loop that is this good.

very impressive. no need for fancy strokes. just hit the ball and the rubber magically turns it into a deadly shot. awesome serving potential. could use more speed.
Anonymous said this on February 13, 2011:
This rubber was very impressive..even if its sponge was hard..more speed, more control and more spin..
siulunglee said this on June 14, 2011:
My fore hand rubber. One of the coach said it is too bouncy, but I found it has a lot of gears when you hit (it is fast) and good power absorption power for blocking (when you doesn't move the blade.)
I agree that it is a good mid-range table loop rubber because I can do mid range loop easily with this. Price is wonderful compare to Japanese and European rubber.
msilhanek said this on September 2, 2011:
Plays very simillar to TG2 Neo. Speed and controll is imo almost the same, spin slightly lower but still great. Another awesome rubber from DHS, I recommend it.
EDIT (September 2011): After some time I have to change my ratings. It is a good rubber but I don't understand it's description from the manufacturer. I use this on my BH (black, max) and it feels slower (this rubber is decribed "speed and controll"). Skyline 2 TG2 Neo is decribed as "spin and controll" but is faster than this one. I've bought 2 sheets of each rubber and I can confirm that Skline 3 Neo is really slower. Kinda weird but I don't care, my setup containing these 2 rubbers is awesome (the best setup so far after more than 15 years in the TT world).
M said this on September 11, 2011:
Great rubber for those with a budget, i brought this for the backhand and a palio drunken dragon for the forehand. Definitely would recommend it over a european rubber as i brought a geospin tacky and a joola drum neither of which compare to the chinese rubbers.
E said this on September 14, 2011:
Skyline 3 neo has a lot of spin it makes countering chop with ease.The speed is bit slower than the Skyline 3 (blue sponge).The rubber is quite heavy so i prefer people who have develop strokes.
Henry said this on October 17, 2011:
After playing it for a 6 months, rubber is in a good performance. I don't see a drop of performance yet. This rubber can do spin and smash with good control and precise. Not a very fast rubber though. Usually play it as FH rubber but I think it also makes that into BH rubber except a bit heavier.
John Raumati said this on December 16, 2011:
TG3 neo Skyline is the best tabletennis rubber I have used. Being Chinese it was designed to go on an ultra fast blade, as that is the typical Chinese way to play. I play almost every technique. TG3 Neo has combined with years of my competition play, to bring new levels of solid consistency and accuracy, close to or away from the table, in defence or when taking the initiative. Never before has looping been so easy or direct. Great for loop and smash, or serve and smash, or loop all day long(you get the idea). I use this on a speed 10 thin ultra light Yin-He T-11 Carbon 2) 70g. Use new the day of a competition and win. Developed a champions game around the equipment deserving of champion.
bacolod spin said this on December 22, 2011:
this rubber puzzles me, its hard but slow, its forward thrusts lacks distance. but it is very good for blocks and serve returns. its perfect though for my BH and it can lift heavy underspins easily.
topplayerrr said this on May 16, 2012:
I have tried so many rubbers this year, donic coppa platin, donic x1 turbo platin, stiga magna, stiga neos, tibhar sinus and genius, h3 neo and more... on Mazunov blade.
I'm not from the US but a friend who lives there told me i'm something like 2150-2300 rating there. I'm very offensive player. I find the TG3 neo very very unique rubber, it has low throw angle, low speed but when hit on the sweet spot the rubber opens up. Most of my club mates who tried this rubber didn't like it because it's hard and slow comparing to euro rubbers. What i found out was that if you have good technique you will learn to love it because you have real and not "fake" swing in order for the ball to hit in the table it's not forgiving as euro rubbers thus make you hit the ball the right way. I really liked it and i'm going to adapt it and make it my primary FH rubber. What i really liked was that slow is slow and when you need high speed and know how to hit the ball right it's there. If you order it, don't give up on it after one practice, give it some time maybe 1-2 weeks before you decide whether to keep it or not it's a completely different beast from what we are use to (those who play euro rubbers) and i honestly think this rubber can take my game to a higher level.

Nice rubber with a budget, i use this one in my backhand and it suits me well..Good job DHS..
Hozze said this on July 19, 2012:
A/B'd this against Neo Hurricane 3 commercial and Provincial as a FH rubber on a Stiga Hybrid Wood Chinese penhold blade over the course of a month.
Slowest, heaviest (about the same as the commercial H3 though) and hardest of the three, but also very tacky and spinny. Excellent control, great for brush loops and blocking, lacking some power on drives and powerloops, but the control and spin compensates somewhat. Seems to work well at most distances, although a well developed swing is needed to keep the speed up away from the table. If you favor control over speed and don't mind a hard and heavy rubber this could be for you. I felt it was a little too heavy on the Stiga, which is also heavy on it's own (mine's 93g).
slashattack said this on October 14, 2012:
Hits and loops very well. In my opinion, feels better than NEO Hurricane 3 in every aspect.
cookierobber said this on December 8, 2012:
I just bought this rubber a few days ago. Tried going on a drill using it and my first impression was that it felt so odd and different from other jap/euro rubbers i've tried before. When you touch the topsheet, it doesn't feel tacky but when u start hitting the ball with it back and forth it feels as if there is so much surface tack. Medhigh throw angle. Soo many gears. Serves, pushes, chops are all so excellent. Whats more surprising is that it doesn't feel like a fast rubber when your not hitting hard. But once you start to really give it more effort then it just turns into a beast
reef said this on January 21, 2013:
(39deg. black max) spin, speed, control is all there. more linear and also have more medium gears (allround features) than H3Neo. feels maybe little bit less spinny than H3Neo overall, but you do not have to smack the ball all the time like with H3Neo. after 3 month of intense training, rubber looks nice and durable.
misterewan said this on February 25, 2013:
I use this on my for hand for more control and spinny top spins loops..
very accurate, throws as expected and will not let you down.. very good for Medium/Short Table Aggre-Def players..
Talal said this on April 16, 2013:
I like this rubber...coming from tenergy 05 fx on FH....this rubber has higher spin potential on serve and top spin and chopping....I feel it fast good feeling of the ball .i am using this with light weight hard and stiff carbon blade CCT PRO TOUR CARBON FLEX only 82 gram
Bchan said this on May 4, 2013:
Neo Skyline 3 Commercial vs Hurricane 3 National. Both unboosted with water glue.
After using Hurricane 3 National for a while, I tried a sheet of Neo Skyline 3 Commercial 39 degrees in Black. Me and my friends all tried it and think that this rubber is a piece of crap when compared to Hurricane 3 National or more expensive rubbers, because it's unstable and dead. Table game is good, and surprisingly the rubber is okay on the backhand. If you don't boost or speed glue, look elsewhere. I rate this 6/10 (when it's brand new) Update: After using this rubber a little more, the sponge has gotten softer and plays more consistent and stable. I now rate this 8/10 (when broken in). If this rubber had some booster or speed glue, it would probably be perfect. In my opinion, TG3 neo commercial is much better than H3 neo commercial. However, it's a close race between H3 National. H3 National's sponge has more strength, spin potential, does not need a break in, has a lighter toxic smell, but it's harder to use/more demanding. TG3 Neo Commercial, is less demanding, easier to use, requires less energy, is very affordable, but has a horrible toxic smell. I highly highly recommend TG3 Neo Commercial, but be sure to slap it hard for a few days to break it in.
Amigo said this on August 18, 2013:
O boy !!!
As expected from other reviews some like it some not. This is my favorite rubber. I use it on FH only. It is a very hard DHS rubber with some tack on it. Quality of the rubber (i use only black) has been great so far. All the sheets were good. This rubber is very unique. For many people it will be ok spinney close to the table but dead and inconsistent away from the table. Sponge is very hard and there is not much tack on the top sheet to produce super spin when you play close, so reasoning of many players is great. They are correct. Most of the humans don't have fitness level of Ma Long, Ma Lin, Timo and others.... Reason why i am giving such a good grades to this rubber is my physical play away from the table. Basically my whole TT game is based on super heavy (very fast and spinney) loop drives 3 - 5 meter away. At lower speeds rubber play ok, nothing special basically. Control is good, spin is ok, one can block with it and serve with it good. So this is why i would say Gears = Average. Tack plays some role here but there is no sponge influence (well not much influence to be more precise). When you go back more then 2 meters and hits become harder deformation will kick in, and tack influence will diminish. Spin will increase significantly and throw angle will be reduced (slightly). Will still remain high but just not as high. To some players this can be a control problem, others will find it good for the pace. So basically faster you go with this rubber better it will play. There is no way to bottom out sponge nor to break the grip at super high speed. Recommendation: High recommendation for a players who put their whole body in the swing, players that are young and strong, players who have well over 5 years of quality training under their belts and so on... you get the picture. Not recommended to players who like to defend, control, older players (please do not get this in offensive way, i mean nothing bad), beginners, players with some type of physical disabilities and so on.... I wish you all the best, and i hope this helps. Enjoy your game of TT and have fun :)

I'm demurring about choosing a rubber on viscaria. After read all reviews of some rubbers, I decide to select it because its price is very cheep, compare to jap/eu rubber. About speed, spin, control, they are really what I need, I just worry that It is a little heavy, durability is short, I will come back and review about these things in next time after spending with it.
raijin said this on October 12, 2013:
I rate this rubber 8/10
It is great in mid distance looping Very spinny serves excellent in pushes but I still can't control it close to the table very durable, i played it 5 months and still very tacky it requires specific angle to perform very well i play chinese style and i like it very much
outlaw said this on March 20, 2014:
same as the tg 2 great rubber that can do all u ask,but it takes a few games to adjust yourself to it,after that all is great ,it loves agressive play
TTExperience said this on September 13, 2014:
I bought this rubber for $22 and put it on the forehand of a Kasumi Basic blade in 2.1mm. I know the tackiness is what makes this rubber and other Chinese rubbers so unique and effective, but this might be a bit too tacky. The $22 price is great, but is kind of offset by the fact you have to buy cleaner and a sponge and wash it every 1-2 days. I mean, you can literally swing it around once or twice after you get it or clean it and there will be dust. If you play with it for one session and you will see it covered with dust. But from the moment I hit the ball, I was amazed. This rubber was a very pleasant surprise, considering it costs a third of what Tenergy costs. It is a great alternative to those who either use Tenergy on the forehand (and hate paying $64 a sheet) or want a relatively hard rubber they can loop and attack with. However, you really need good technique to unlock the potential of this rubber. Once you do, you can be unstoppable. The bounce on loops is very significant and you can play short even though this rubber was made to play from mid-distance (which is really easy to play from). Skyline 3 NEO is the rubber for third-ball kill. It will probably work best on forehand because of the high throw. I really can't say enough about Skyline 3; DHS, you made a winner that I will be loyal to for a long time. A $22 rubber that is close to (in my opinion, passes) Tenergy 05? Top this, Butterfly.

Post-game breakdown: South Florida
UConn did what it had to do during its two-game home-stand.
Freshman Kris Dunn wasn't feeling well on Monday night.
That didn't stop him from contributing to Providence's 77-68 win over Robert Morris in an NIT second round game at the Dunkin Donuts Center.
Dunn and the Friars will visit Baylor in Waco, Texas, on Wednesday for the right to advance to the NIT Final Four in New York.
"It's a great win for us," Dunn said of beating Robert Morris. "Baylor is a great team. It's going to be another fight."
Dunn, the McDonald's All-American out of New London High School, finished with six points, eight rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes off the bench.
After the game, PC coach Ed Cooley predicted the Dunn would someday win the Big East defensive player of the year award.
"He's something to watch defensively," Cooley said. "He's like a pretty young person that plays defense. He's long, athletic, agile and he smiles. He plays with a lot of passion. That really resonates with this team."
Check out the attached video of Dunn's post-game remarks.
UConn enters today's game sitting in fifth place in the American Athletic Conference.Tulsa (7-0) and SMU (7-1) are pulling away from the pack.
UConn has had issues putting teams away this season. It happened again on Thursday.
UConn begins an important two-game homestand tonight with an American Athletic Conference game against Central Florida.
After its latest damaging loss, UConn faces a long, hard road to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
UConn didn't lose its seventh game last season until March 8.The Huskies (9-6) are trying to avoid suffering their seventh defeat tonight at Stanford.
UConn suffered a major letdown against Tulsa on Tuesday night. Almost nothing went right for the Huskies, who were simply out-played and out-worked for the first time in recent weeks.
Remember when UConn's big conference games used to be against Syracuse and Georgetown?
UConn is heating up at the right time.The Huskies scored an important 62-56 victory over Cincinnati today before a sold-out XL Center crowd of 15,564.
It's too early in the season to place today's game in the must win category.
UConn is one of four American Athletic Conference teams still without a conference win heading into tonight's game against South Florida at the Sun Dome.
UConn worked out at the University of Tampa's beautiful Bob Martinez Athletics Center on Monday.

In an effort to address traffic impact and road wear from local frac sand operations, Assistant City Planner Carlos Espinosa is asking the City Planning Commission to discuss conducting traffic impact analyses that could trigger a road use agreement requirement for future operations.
Espinosa said the strategy would require project applicants to complete a study of traffic generation and assess whether or not haul routes can handle an increase in truck traffic. The study would research existing truck traffic numbers, future traffic forecasts, and intersection and sight distance reviews.
If any deficiencies were found, they would be addressed through a road use agreement. The agreement would require the applicant to rectify deficiencies prior to operations or establish financial accounts for future maintenance or improvements.
Espinosa said such amendments, if passed, would apply to any development with significant truck traffic and would only be imposed on future projects.
Commissioners are not expected to vote on the amendment language but could make a motion to direct city planning staff to draft an ordinance amendment for review at the next meeting.
Site analysis
City planning staff has completed two more sand site analyses stipulated by the moratorium study a processing facility at Highway 14 and Goodview Road, and a processing facility at 25 McConnon Drive.
Espinosa is recommending that both sites draft and file a fugitive dust control plan and submit to sand moisture level testings.
Sand is briefly stockpiled at the Goodview Road site before it is transferred by truck to either the Port dock or the Gould Street rail facility. While the Goodview Road site conforms to appropriate performance standards, Espinosa said the facility should still test for moisture content.
The McConnon Drive site was approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in October 2011, but as of today, no construction for frac sand use has begun. It is proposed that washed and wet sand be stockpiled there before being conveyed inside a building for drying and screening. Once the sand is dried, it will be stored inside a building before it is conveyed into a covered railcar.
Neighbors of the McConnon Drive site have voiced concern about dust floating across property lines, prompting Espinosa to recommend that the operator create a fugitive dust plan. Similar to the Goodview Road site, Espinosa is recommending the McConnon Drive operator ensure the moisture content of the stockpiled sand by conducting moisture level testings.
Commissioners will discuss the recommendations, and if they approve, they will be compiled into a final list to be reviewed at the end of the one-year moratorium.
The city planning staff has now completed eight site analyses.
The Planning Commission meeting will be Monday at 4:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall.
Roundtable discussion confirmed
According to the Planning Commission agenda, a roundtable discussion will take place Wednesday.
The discussion is an opportunity for the public and commissioners to discuss all the recommendations that have been approved during the moratorium study.
Its been a few months now and weve taken a look at a lot of things, Espinosa said. It would be nice to get everything down on a couple pages and see what weve done.
The roundtable discussion will be Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in the Wenonah Room at City Hall.

Originally intended to carry local area network (LAN) traffic, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, such as Category-5e (Cat-5e), has become an economical solution in many other signal transmission applications because of its respectable performance and low cost. Among these applications are systems that transport broadband video signals in which three of the four twisted pairs in the cable carry the red, green, and blue (RGB) computer video signals or the luminance and two color difference (YPbPr), high definition component video signals. The required horizontal and vertical synchronization pulses can be embedded in the video signal blanking intervals, or these pulses can be carried as common-mode difference signals among the three pairs. These systems often include video crosspoint switches and are used to distribute video signals from a small number of sources to many displays, as in digital signage applications, or from a large number of sources to a small number of displays, as in keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) networks.
Signals transported over UTP cable suffer from three major impairments that degrade video quality
The solution shown in Figure 1 overcomes these impairments by using the AD8122 triple receiver/ equalizer to restore the high frequency content of the video signals while also providing flat gain. The AD8120 triple skew compensating, analog delay line adds delay to the two earliest arriving signals such that the three received signals are properly aligned in time. The AD8147 triple driver provides the required single-ended-to-differential conversion of the source video signals.
Figure 1. Equalized and Delay Compensated UTP Driver and Receiver (Simplified Schematic: All Pins, Connections, and Decoupling Not Shown)
Figure 2. Simplified System Block Diagram for Video-over-UTP System
The video transmission system shown in Figure 1 uses RGBHV video signals, where RGB indicates the red, green, and blue video signals, and HV indicates the individual horizontal and vertical synchronization pulse signals. Thus, five signals are transported over three twisted pair cables.
Video system performance is best characterized in the time domain, and the most important specification is the step response settling time. The transition between two pixels in a video display is nominally a step function, and each pixel lasts for a specific time duration. Ideally, the video step response should settle to an imperceptible error level with respect to its final value (about 46 dB less than full scale, or 3.5 mV) within a fraction of the pixel time (about 6 ns for UXGA at 60 Hz). While some frequency domain performance metrics are important, what matters most is how these metrics affect the video signal in the time domain. For example, the system bandwidth must be sufficient enough to produce a step response with a rise time that is short enough to meet the settling time specification. However, bandwidth alone is not enough because significant settling errors can occur due to ringing, overshoot, and sluggish response, even with a short rise time attained by having wide system bandwidth. A simplified system block diagram is shown in Figure 2.
RGB signals typically originate from 75 Ω single-ended, source terminated voltage sources and require 75 Ω load terminations. At the load, the properly terminated signal amplitudes typically vary between 0 mV and 700 mV. To transport the RGB signals over UTP, the signals are converted from single-ended mode to balanced (differential) mode and then amplified by a factor of two to account for the 6 dB loss incurred due to the UTP source and load terminations. This is easily accomplished by using a triple differential driver, such as the AD8147.
The AD8147 provides an additional feature for encoding the TTL logic level, horizontal and vertical synchronization pulse signals on the three output common-mode voltages (VOCM) according to the following equations:
K represents the peak deviation of the common-mode pulse
voltage about the midsupply voltage (VMIDSUPPLY).
VSYNC and HSYNC are unit weighting terms that equal +1 for a Logic 1 and −1 for a Logic 0. This encoding scheme produces a net ac common-mode voltage of zero, minimizing commonmode electromagnetic emissions from the cable.
The driver evaluation board contains everything necessary to implement the single-ended-to-differential mode conversion and sync pulse encoding, including the adjustment of K.
The skin effect in UTP cable produces transmission loss that increases with frequency, causing the received signals to appear rounded and dispersed, and flat resistive loss in the cable occurs due to simple cable resistance. Figure 3 illustrates these effects by comparing the full swing video step response of 300 meters of UTP with the step signal at the input to the cable.
Figure 3. 300 Meters Cat-5e Unequalized Cable Step Response
The AD8122 triple equalizer performs differential-to-single- ended mode conversion with high common-mode rejection and compensates for these signal impairments. Figure 4 shows the corrected step signal at the equalizer output that settles to 1% error in less than 70 ns. Note that the time scale in Figure 4 is in nanoseconds.
Figure 4. 300 Meters Cat-5e Cable Equalized Step Response (Note Time in ns)
Moving to the frequency domain, Figure 5 illustrates the frequency responses of Cat-5e cables in lengths from 100 feet to 1000 feet, in 100 foot increments, in which the bandlimiting effect and flat loss are clearly evident.
Figure 5. Unequalized Cat-5e Cable Frequency Response for Various Cable Lengths
The effectiveness of how the AD8122 restores the received high frequency content of the signals and flat loss can be seen by comparing the equalized frequency responses at the AD8122 output in Figure 6 with the unequalized frequency responses in Figure 5. For 1000 feet (300 meters) of cable, the unequalized loss of more than 50 dB at 60 MHz has been improved to 3 dB by the AD8122 equalizer.
Figure 6. Equalized Cat-5e Cable Frequency Response for Various Cable Lengths
Moving to the final impairment, the AD8120 triple delay line corrects the time skew among the three pairs and provides a gain of two to drive the video signals over doubly terminated 75 Ω cables to the display.
The receiver evaluation board contains the AD8122 and AD8120, and all the necessary support circuitry, including five potentiometers to manually adjust the high frequency boost, flat gain, and three delay lines. In addition, a serial interface is provided for optional serial control of the AD8120.
ConclusionThe quality of the image presented at the far end is what is important in video distribution systems. The quality of the image is determined by the step response settling time to about 3.5 mV of the final value, which begins to affect image quality when it extends beyond a fraction of a pixel. Figure 7 shows an extreme case of an image received over 300 meters (1000 feet) of Cat-5e cable with no equalization or skew correction applied. Figure 7 shows significant dark smearing, indicative of a sluggish step response, and color offsets due to time skew. The fully corrected image is shown in Figure 8.

The lower cost AD8124 triple equalizer is a viable substitute for the AD8122 in systems that only need to drive up to 200 meters of UTP. The AD8124 is not pin-compatible with the AD8122 and is somewhat different in its control functions.
There are a number of options with regard to drivers besides the AD8147. The AD8146 provides the same functionality as the AD8147 but does not include the dedicated sync-on-commonmode circuitry. The AD8146 is usually used in systems that place the vertical and horizontal synchronization pulses in the blanking intervals of the video signal instead of on the common-mode voltages. The AD8148 is the same as the AD8147 but has a fixed gain of four instead of two, and it can be configured to provide pre-emphasis to drive up to 100 feet of UTP. For systems that require lower power consumption, the AD8133 and AD8134 provide the same functionality as the AD8146 and AD8147, respectively, and consume less power, but they have less bandwidth. Finally, for the lowest cost systems that can run on 5 V, the AD8141 and AD8142 CMOS drivers may be the best choice.
UTP installations vary widely and can cover wide areas, pass through multiple patch bays, and at times have no ground reference. These and other conditions can cause large fluctuations in the received common-mode voltage relative to the local receiver ground reference. Placing a flat gain differential receiver with a wide common-mode range, such as the AD8143, in front of the equalizer can provide up to 21 V of input common-mode range in these demanding situations.
The AD8122 and AD8124 both support coaxial cable as well as UTP cable. The AD8122 can be pin strapped to either mode, and the AD8124 uses a VPOLE control to modify its frequency response to support either cable type.
Complete system level, plug-and-play driver and receiver evaluation boards are available from Analog Devices, Inc., that contains all of the necessary circuitry video graphics array (VGA) and RJ-45 connectors. Potentiometers with knobs are provided to control equalization and skew correction. The best test configuration is a simple video source, such as a PC and a good quality display. It is preferable that the PC and display are capable of supporting resolutions up to UXGA at 60 Hz.
Equipment NeededThe following equipment is needed:
The simplified block diagram of the test setup is shown in Figure 11. After connecting the equipment, standard video tests can be used to perform end-to-end testing.

Watch Parks & Recreation
The shows plot revolves around Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) a perky woman who works for the mid level bureaucrat in the made up town of Indiana. So, Leslie was given the task to help a local nurse called Ann Perkins (played by Rashida Jones) remodel an old dreary construction location and turn it into a fabulous and modern public park. But, things aren't as easy as they seem because, Leslie must deal with many inconveniences such as facing the opinion of many problematic bureaucrats, Difficult and nosy neighbors, and a whole team of crazy construction workers. And if things don't seem complicated enough, Leslie must also face all of her problems and juggle her mishaps while a film crew creates a documentary?..and film every one of Leslie's moves in the process.
During the process, Leslie is also assisted by Tom Haverford (played by Aziz Anasari) who is her coworker that is considering leaving his post at the city hall to pursue his own dreams.
Despite all the opposing forces trying to get in her way, and all the mishaps that come across her path, Leslie is fully committed in finishing her project, while also serving as a mentor to the in-over-her-head college intern, April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza.) And in the process Leslie will take all the necessary actions to reach her life's dream if becoming the president of the United States.
This T.V show is filled with hilarious humor, genius writing, catchy jokes, a laugh out loud funny cast, and many crazy scenarios and has been captivating its audiences everywhere.

The Card
With the package out the way it's time to move onto the card and straight away when you look at it there isn't a whole lot to talk about thanks to the massive blue cover over the front. Apart from the cover the only thing you can notice are the two pipes coming out the top of the card.
These two pipes of course head on over to our radiator/pump where all the magic happens. With a 120mm fan and a weird L shape design it's clear that this bad boy is going to take up some serious case space and is going to make SLI a difficult task.
Moving over to the radiator we of course have the 120mm fan that helps cool the radiator and in turn cools the water to keep our 8800 Ultra nice and cool.
As far as connections go we have the standard inlet/outlet pipe as you would expect along with a molex connector that powers the pump. Coming off that is another little cable that plugs into the video card and spins the fan.
The whole setup is pretty effortless thanks to the liquid already being inside the tubes/radiator. You literally just have to bolt it in, plug some power connectors in and away you go.
With that sorted out, quickly moving back to the card it's a very standard setup. Across the top of the card we have both our SLI connectors and two 6-Pin PCI Express connectors.
I/O wise we have the standard Dual Link DVI connectors that we are used to seeing on most high-end cards along with our little TV-Out port.
As you would expect the card is going to be packing some decent clocks, so what are they? The standard 8800 Ultra comes packed with a 612MHz core and 2160MHz DDR memory clock. The Leadtek Ultra Leviathan comes in at a huge 684MHz core and 2322MHz DDR memory clock.

Skyla Hearn
When I was a child I enjoyed "rummaging" through my Grandmother's purse and treasure hunting in my parent's den. My father was an antique collector with an eye for the obscure. He collected late 19th and early 20th century furniture, oil and pastel paintings, books with African-esque focused subjects including photography books and personal relics---clothes, jewelry and other folks' family photo albums. It was the search, research and lack of discovery that has lead me into my various "callings" as a fine art photographer, curator, special collections librarian and archivist. In my primary line of work as an archivist, I am excused for my nosey practices, praised for not tossing "stuff" and champion for the unknown, often unsung community, cultural and societal contributors often from African American and other marginalized backgrounds. My professional journey began in 2006 with the Katherine Dunham Digitization Project in the Special Collections Research Center at Morris Library (SIUC) and has included a plethora of amazing encounters from working with acclaimed librarians, archivists, scholars and artists to completing and collaborating on projects at the University of Turabo in San Juan, the Harsh Research Collection of Afro-American History and Literature (Chicago Public Library), the Institute for Museum and Library Services/The HistoryMakers, Inc., Never-the-Same Chicago Ephemera Archive, the South Side Community Art Center and currently with the UIC Social Justice Initiative and UIC Library-Special Collections. I hold a Master of Science in LIS with a Special Collections certificate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; a Bachelor of Art in Mass Communications and Media Arts with a minor in Black American Studies (currently Africana Studies) from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale; and an AGS from Harold Washington City College of Chicago.

Outline of Need: The Community Medical Center in Falls City has been serving Richardson County for more than 90 years. However, the building that served the community over the years was not sufficient to function in today's healthcare environment with the shift in inpatient to outpatient services. A new facility was needed.
How Rural Development Helped: USDA Rural Development
provided a Community Facility Direct Loan of $9,000,000. In addition, the Stillwater National Bank financed a loan of $9,000,000 in June of 2009 that was backed by a USDA Rural Development guarantee through the Business and Industry Guaranteed Loan program. The Community Medical Center contributed $3,000,000 of their funds along with a contribution from the Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion, Illinois of $2,000,000 and local donations of $1,000,000.
The Results: Residents of Richardson County and the surrounding areas now have better access to the full range of medical services that The Community Medical Center provides. When patients and family members walk into the doors they are greeted with a warm inviting room and a smiling helping hand. The newly constructed Community Medical Center had their dedication ceremony November 22, 2009. This facility includes 24 patient rooms, surgery suites, and private specialty clinics, a Family Medicine Clinic, two delivery rooms, maternity suites and state-of-the-art medical equipment. Patients are able to enjoy private rooms with plenty of space to accommodate visitors from family and friends during the time they need them most. New moms enjoy a relaxing room fit for a queen and her newest addition. The new building project reflects the Community's commitment to a happier and healthier southeast Nebraska.

We just received our property tax notice. It has our property value going DOWN almost 20%. Now, I know people challenge their assessments going the other way -but I don't think our value has gone done that much in the last year. We live in Michigan and our economy has pretty much been flat lined (in the tank) since 2007, although it has improved a little this past year. The past couple of years our value has gone down maybe 2-4%.
My reason of concern is that we are planning on putting our house back on the market this Spring, so, ideally would like our assessment as high as possible. Question: 1) Any "tricks" to increasing your odds of winning? (maybe I should bring the assessor's mom cookies...she lives across the street from us and we've watched her cats before..) :) Our next door neighbor's assessment barely changed, as did many on our street -so, it's not like they dropped values across the board. 2)Should we pay for our own assessment so that when we list we can show the potential buyer what it has been assessed at or is that just a waste of our time/money? Should we contact our realtor and have her run comps? TIA for your advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Does your tax assessment have any bearing on your market value? I'm asking because in my area (California) there is no correlation to the market value. Buyers never see that until they own the house. I'd be thrilled if my assessment went down that much. |
- Posted by onlygirlsmom (My Page) on Tue, Feb 28, 12 at 19:32
I don't know actually. I know, in most circumstances most people would love for their property taxes to go down. |
In most cases, a property tax assessment has no correlation to market value. A Realtor can provide comps that will give you a better target value. If you're really worried about it, you can pay for your own appraisal, and that will give you an idea of how the banks will value it, which may be more important in this case. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Wed, Feb 29, 12 at 7:37
Why would you want buyers to realize they have to pay more taxes on your home, as opposed to less taxes? The tax value has no bearing on what your property is worth. And most buyers DO take a look at the annual tax bill before making an offer. |
"My reason of concern is that we are planning on putting our house back on the market this Spring, so, ideally would like our assessment as high as possible. " Assessments for taxes have nothing to do with market value. Stop complaining and smile at the lower tax bill (of course the tax rate may have been increased to hold the actual taxes the same). Remember, you do not pay the rate OR the assessment, but the product of the two. |
Your town/city/state would be more than happy to have you pay more taxes, if that is what you want! I agree with the other posters ... your logic is a bit flawed. Depending on your town/city and how they calculate RE values (and how often), you could have assesments that are close to market value or very different. My old town in Mass kept assesments pretty current and in "normal" markets they used to lag about $100K from market value. In todays market with short sales and foreclosures the numbers can be all over the place. CA is a crazy place with Prop 13. It sets the assesment value at the purchase price, with controlled increments. So you can have neighbors with similar houses worth $1 mill, but one might be paying $2k in taxes and the other $12K. A flawed system that they also applied to commercial real estate! One of the many reasons the state of CA has major money issues. Your future buyers, if they use a bank, will be required to have an apparaisal. The assesment won't matter ... what will matter is the current RE market at the time of the sale. |
- Posted by onlygirlsmom (My Page) on Wed, Feb 29, 12 at 13:04
Thanks for the input and pointing out my flawed logic :) I spoke with the realtor who we're going to be listing with and she gave me some great advice. First, she said don't go fighting the assessment. Second -usually the tax assessment doesn't factor too much into list/sales price..except in our miserable market when she said buyers look at that and think that is what they should get the house for. She also said that we'll be able to use last year's assessment for now (the new one doesn't have to be listed until this summer) Third-she did think it would be good for us to get an appraisal so that we'll know ahead of time the ballpark we're in (instead of close to closing and then have everything blow up). And we are within spitting distance of what she/we where we want to list the house. She'll run comps once we're closer to list time (hopefully by the first of April). |

ogm, I have to laugh! In 2006, when we listed our home in Brighton, MI we got a large tax assessment decrease that year. Silly me went to the tax tribunal and asked them why did they lower my assessment, I thought it should have stayed the same, every other year it had gone up!!!! At the time, they shook their heads and said they had never had someone upset the assessment had gone down. It's just the nature of the beast in this economy. I don't think it made any difference in the sale of the house tho. Good luck, Kathy G in MI |

A new sort of digital divide is arriving: hoards of school age kids with no room for many of them in a school, yet they have mobile internet access. For that reason, India will provide $10 – $20 low power laptops for practically every student across the country. India Express and The Wired Campus have articles today about the India initiative. Mobile phones are increasingly giving internet access to youngsters in more and more countries – places where there are school shortages and where portions of the population have never gone to school.
There is a choice you may never even have thought about that 21st century people must make very soon.
- Do we spend billions on brick and mortar schools and classrooms to accommodate the swelling global youth population? OR
- Do we organize what is known online and provide tutorials there that deliver much of the knowledge to the new generations?
Perhaps we can do some of both, but doing only the first choice is no longer an option. There is not the wealth available to do the physical building, nor the time

The citizens of the United States were forced to get serious in a hurry, with the onslaught of enemies at every border. At such times, a healthy sense of humor and the capacity to "chill out" can calm frazzled nerves.
Why stew when you can laugh! Let your funny bone be tickled. From family jokes, tried and true slapstick, to standup comedy, and "cute" animation, the many faces of laughter can be therapeutic. (It depends on what you mean by the word "funny.")
Here listed are a few positive character traits that could make a U.S. presidential candidate more appealing (assuming the male gender, due to a tradition soon to be changed).
First and foremost, Mr. He would forfeit to a woman. Moving right along, he would do a gut-busting Tim Conway impersonation. Martha Stewart would be exonerated as a newsworthy scapegoat for the unscrupulous corporate world.
He would use funds earmarked for all those campaign yard signs someone usually steals, sets fire to, or defaces, and donate the cost to Ronald McDonald houses instead. He kisses mothers as well as babies (my personal favorite). Howard Stern would be ordered off the face of the planet.
He doesn't promise anything, responding to pushy reporters, "If I knew what I was in for, I probably wouldn't be running." There would be no negative messages, nor blaming the present administration for all that's wrong in the nation today, nor dredging up outdated and irrelevant service records.
He would close down all casinos, due to overflowing rehab centers and a carpal tunnel epidemic. He'd announce the primary language of the United States to be "laughter." He would get down-to-earth, scrapping all excursions into outer space until every American has adequate health care coverage and the medications they need.
He would choose David Letterman as narrator of a casual presidential one-on-one, getting the voters' attention with knock, knock jokes. His running mate would be a former UPS poster boy, who would kiss anyone. When quizzed about his former marital improprieties, he would respond, "It's none of your business. I'll tell if you do."
He, above all, must be a man of faith. (How could one preside without it?) And that, my friends, is not funny.
Just so we frustrated senior citizens don't come undone, it might be helpful to establish guidelines for not acting our age at an impressive 60-something.
Laugh first - think later, even though you don't get the joke. Be young at heart, with bumper stickers like "Wet T-Shirt Champ," or "Grandmas do it best!" Your "Elvis lives!" is a dead giveaway. Never resort to a crass Judge Judy attitude.
Don't begin a conversation with, "I lowered my cholesterol!" Don't be a stick in the mud. If tempted to engage in unladylike behavior - go for it! (This goes for the guys as well.) Gals, bring up your Harley during chitchats. No need to clarify that Harley's your hubby (or pet beagle). Bingo is not where it's at!
Don't eat pot pies when you can afford T-bone. Having been around the block a time or two, be tactful when telling someone that you know better - though you likely do. Don't be hard on yourself when you can't remember. In this era of mind overload and "who done it," forgetfulness befalls all age groups.
Throw your red hats in the ring and come out swinging! Well-aged citizens long for renewed integrity in government. We're disturbed by empty nitpicking and competitive-edge rhetoric. So maybe the president's grimace during the debate was sore feet, Kerry's finger pointing an old habit he can't seem to control.
During presidential (?) debates, the most clever talker and adept mudslinger comes through with flying colors, not so unlike an elementary school ballgame. That, my friends, is not funny.
Is it high time for a third, and possibly a fourth party to step in, to ensure candidate accountability, and to uphold "no more politics as usual?"
The American spirit will not be broken by cowardly, suppressive threats. Be a good sport - vote on Tuesday, and continue to rally for improvement.

Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Transport if he will examine the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15885/05] Mr. Callely Mr. Callely Mr. Callely:In accordance with EU Directive 96/96/EC, passenger cars are required to undergo a roadworthiness test when they are four years old and every two years thereafter with the test due dates determined by reference to the date of first registration of the vehicle. In the case of taxis the national car test schedule is determined by reference to the taxi licence application and renewal dates. As the duration of a taxi licence is one year, taxis are required to undergo the national car test annually. Where a vehicle licensed as a taxi reverts to private use the national car test certificate issued for the vehicle continues to be valid until the expiry date specified on it at which stage a national car test is required. The expiry date of the national car test certificate issued on foot of that national car test would be the next test due in accordance with the normal criteria applicable for a passenger car. The national car test schedule for vehicles tested as taxis which revert to private use during the period covered by the taxi national car test has been raised in the course of the mid-term review of the car testing service which is currently under way. I will be prepared to examine this matter in the light of the report which I will receive from PricewaterhouseCoopers which is carrying out the review on behalf of my Department.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM ) is a must have for maintaining multiple client relationships while acquiring new ones, with ease and efficiency. CRMs enable agents who deal with any form of client interaction or lead generation (telemarketing, collections, customer support, helpdesk etc) to access information from an information repository (database), update it or just modify it using some form of text or GUI-based interface.
For an agent the biggest problem is the steep learning curve to operate a new interface. A relatively simple operation should ideally not require going through endless menus, click buttons or pages, as it has impact on productivity. User-friendliness and ease-of-access define the usability of any CRM. With the ever-changing and ever-expanding requirements of customers, the need is to track comprehensive data ranging from lead generation, all the way to sale closure, with post-sales activity, account management, customer service and everything else in between.
Drishti CRM facilitates anticipation and responsiveness of the customer requirements in the right way. It provides unparallel features for data collection and building better channels for communications. Drishti CRM simplifies agent-customer interaction and helps businesses increase productivity through reduction in operating costs, increase in cross-selling, service customization and customer retention. With Drishti CRM, more than 80% of the operations are executable with at most three clicks; even the most complex operation requires no more than 5 clicks. Drishti CRM possesses an easy-to-navigate dialer interface that allows for efficient lead management, tracking and status updates.
With Drishti's CRM, be certain of agent's ability to access information and serve customers faster without compromising on service quality. The interface is most simple and straightforward and allows easy lead management, tracking and status updates. The CRM is robust, and flexible in terms of operation and deployment while capable of being integrated with any third-party database, CRM or tool for smooth and seamless functioning.

Apr 27th 2010 10:27PM That was a Spartan III as it even showed Spartan III in the clip. Most of Noble team are Spartan III's except for the Spartan you play which is a Spartan II. The Spartan III's are your mass production model spartan. They joined the Spartan program at a older age(most by their free will since they are orphans from the covie war) and are given less training and enhancements and weaker armor so they have a higher turn over rate. One other think that is different about them is they are given a drug during their augmentation that makes them go a little crazy while keeping them performing at peak even when they are fatally wounded untill they give in to their injury. So don't go confusing the Spartan II's specs with the Spartan III's. You can read the novel Ghosts of Onyx to find out all about the Spartan III program.

With this mount all the characters on your account and future characters created will get this mount in their mail box. So that means you never have to buy another mount ingame again and this mount scales up with your riding skill. 25$ seems a little steep but your basicly buying a cool looking mount for all your characters present and future and its 1 of 2 mounts that can function as a ground mount in places you can't fly.

I agree James. Personal taste makes it too difficult to be objective. I've heard several directors and actors say that it's impossible to know if a film will be successful or not until they reach the theaters.
I thought of this discussion this morning as I was watching "Sunday Morning. They said that "The Wizard of Oz" is the most watched film of all time. That includes watching it on tape, disk, TV and Netflix. It only made a slight profit when it was first released.
I think box office success is extraneous. There are a lot of ho-hum films out there making money. Are the Bond movies good movies, or do people see them just because they've seen the others? The last one was a cliche festival.

The Muslim Seeks to Benefit: Sheikh al-Azhar Mahmoud Shaltout
Sheikh al-Azhar Mahmoud Shaltout [May Allah have mercy upon him] wrote:
"If you ponder deeply over the questions of the faithful, found in the Qur'an, you will notice the trademark of the believer is that he [strictly] inquires about what is beneficial to him in his worship, daily life and his faith. He does not ask about the souls departure after death, how one is punished in the grave, the size of Paradise, its width and its height, or similar questions which busy the people and bring no benefit to them in this life and the Hereafter."
Translated from Contemporary Religious Rulings that Address the Problems of the Muslims pg. 11
3 Comments
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reward him.
I'm a bit confused- how is it not a trademark of a believer mentioned in the Qur'an to ask about the things of the barzakh and after life? Wouldn't knowing about these things bring a Muslim closer to wanting to do good and wanting to stay away from evil? knowing the punishment might help deter sinful actions, and knowing the reward might help encourage one to seek the rewards with Allah 'Azza wa Jal.
I want to be amongst those who have the trademark of the believer, bi'idnillah! I don't understand how these questions are not a part of that. unless it's with regards to knowing "extras" which are not necessarily beneficial. ie: making duaa for a white palace on the right side of Jannah.
And this is obviously from my own shortcomings and lack of understanding, and not at all to take away from the greatness of the Shaykh rahimahullah.
"unless it's with regards to knowing "extras" which are not necessarily beneficial."
You got it
I am a grad student and I am having a very difficult time with one of my ultra-anti-Islamic professors. He keeps on insisting that it is a barbaric religion because it cuts off peoples' heads for blasphemy, and that it's silly because it wants you to believe in jennies. Anyhow, I gave him Yusuf Ali's latest edition of the Holy Qur'an. But it's clear that his mind is already made up so at this point do I have an obligation to continue debating with him or can I just let him be? JAK.

Coming from you, Knoll, this is too funny! I would leave it as is. Putting the circle around it may be too close to the copyright sign... and we all know you don't want to infringe upon anyone...

Perhaps if the circle was as it is shown on the outside? I think it might match the copyright symbol better that way. But I do like it!
Nice! I recognized the ©
I really like that idea and the design itself, Knoll. However I would not have recognized it as a copyright sign without your explanation. I guess because we are so used to seeing that symbol in superscript next to a word, phrase, or image.
