re: NCAA 14 Ultimate Team Thread Posted by Brettesaurus Rex on 7/16 at 1:45 pm to oauron I guess it's just completely random as to who you get. Bc my o-line is still all 66 overall or lower except for Barrett jones as my center. And yeah Barbe, I'm assuming it's just little rich snots who buy 50 packs and are stacked right away. That's pretty dumb to me bc it takes the fun out of building a team. Bc IMO once you get to 99 overall in both sides of the ball, I don't see why you'd keep going much longer once you get players you like. ETA: after you've played with the players you got for awhile. If I started with everyone I wanted right away I'd probably just play every once in awhile and focus more on dynasties. Most of the affecting fun is collecting coins to get new packs. Reminds me when I used to be so stoked about opening up a new pack of baseball/football cards This post was edited on 7/16 at 1:50 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/16 at 3:00 pm to Brettesaurus Rex I almost got a Drew Brees gold card for 3000 coins but some a-hole outbid me at the last secondReply Back to Top |
Posted by Sheep on 7/16 at 3:14 pm to BarbeTiger I really believe that investing just $5 makes all the difference. I may have been really lucky, but I bought two of the 99 cent gold upgrade packs (same players, kept one group, sold the duplicates.) I bought two of the 1.49 packs. I did get a blue Charlie Ward, and a blue Doug Flutie. I sold those two and that gave me enough to get rolling. I can't see spending 20 bucks or 50 bucks (or more), but 5 bucks made all of the difference in the world for me. I'll never spend another penny of real money. I also did some of the Nike Skills challenges and had a pre-order pack from Gamestop. Those helped me a lot, also. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/16 at 3:16 pm to Sheep I totally understand what you did. I just hate people who buy the huge bundle and have a 99 overall team before playing a gameReply Back to Top |
Posted by Sheep on 7/16 at 3:29 pm to BarbeTiger I agree. I'm usually pretty terrible though, and run out of contracts before I accumulate any coins, so I need a bit of a kick start. I also spend a lot of time working the market. Buy low/sell high. Selling players that are hard to come by and buy a reasonable alternative, selling players that are needed for the collections, etc. I sold that blue Charlie Ward for 27K and bought a gold Eli for 3K. That difference helps me buy more packs and build depth in my squad. Sure, the Ward was a 93, but an 89 Eli was a hell of an upgrade over the 70 Christian Ponder that came with my first pack.

Posted by Brettesaurus Rex on 7/17 at 9:04 am to Sheep Have you guys been hitting the auction blick? Have not had much luck selling but have been getting a lot of well timed value picks to really elevate the average skill level. I've lucked out on a couple 90+ like Dez Bryant but missed on Mingo last minute , was so pissedReply Back to Top |
Posted by GeauxPack81 on 7/17 at 10:07 am to Brettesaurus Rex Yeah, I really just buy, not sell. How much was Dez?Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Brettesaurus Rex on 7/17 at 11:33 am to GeauxPack81 Got him for 4500 coins and he's an 89 overall. I probably overpaid for it, but I sort of just jumped at it, I didn't have other receivers over 80Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/20 at 12:27 am to Brettesaurus Rex Just wanted to say that I just got a Barkevious Mingo gold card for 850 coins. I think the poster had no idea how auctions work.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Brettesaurus Rex on 7/20 at 9:42 am to BarbeTiger quote: Damn thats impressive I got Mingo for around 1200 i want to say. which is still a steal considering most of the time I see him for like 3000 and up. I don't see many LSU guys that aren't outrageously expensive. Really want to Mathieu and Peterson, but I have a feeling that will only be through cards bc people are putting 20k and up price tags on them bitches Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/20 at 10:45 am to Brettesaurus Rex Almost got Mathieu for 5000 coins last night but the way the bidding works you don't find out you're outbid until it's too lateReply Back to Top |
Posted by RTR America on 7/20 at 11:13 am to BarbeTiger I'd suggest scrolling over on the auction to the buy now section and adjusting the order by price. I have found a lot of upper 85+ players for less than 2000 coins. I'm contemplating building my team from now on through the auction instead of the damn 7500 coins All-American packs. Those all-american packs have given me way too many damn mascots. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/20 at 11:17 am to RTR America Just got a 90 overall Drew Brees for 2700. The auction block is much better than the packs. EA is so money hungry, making the packs cost a ton of coins but so cheap to buy in cash.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by RTR America on 7/20 at 11:26 am to BarbeTiger quote: And filling the packs with so much stupid shite that you have to buy a lot of them to get anything good. I still haven't quite figured out how to price a lot of the stuff I have for the auction, but I have been abusing it on for strengthening my D. Getting gold on all the skills challenges helped a ton. I just wish they had divided up the type of players you get a little better. I hate that I got like 5 QB's from it. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/20 at 11:43 am to RTR America Yeah they shouldn't have replaced Hernandez with another QB. A silver Gronkowski would have been niceReply Back to Top |
Posted by RTR America on 7/20 at 11:49 am to BarbeTiger quote: Yeah I have like 3 or 4 QB's from those skill challenges I will never use and not like I will make much from auctioning them since everyone can get them so easily Reply Back to Top |
Posted by GatorReb on 7/20 at 3:45 pm to RTR America I sort the players by Ratings on the Auction house. Then I scroll over to the buy now price and just look. Most of them are really expensive (since I sorted by highest rating) BUT I will find someone that a buyout is much lower than it should be. So I will buy it and either A keep it or B flip it for a profit. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Brettesaurus Rex on 7/20 at 7:50 pm to BarbeTiger quote: Getting into a bidding war is so damn frustrating. They really need to fix it to where its live time knowing who you're bidding against and exactly how much time is left. And they need to fricking update your coins as soon as you get outbid. It hasn't been doing this so when I'm in the middle of a bidding war I have to hurry and get back to the main menu and rush back into Ultimate Team to get my coins to refresh and half the time its over. For whatever reason after you've been outbid, it won't let you bid again if what you have left after your first bid isn't enough to cover the second bid. I've lost out on 3 HUGE steals because of this already and it's pretty maddening. Oh and they updated Game Extensions to where 25 is only 300 coins and they added a 10 game one for 150. Im so glad they did this because it was getting on my nerves paying 800 coins for ONE 25 game extension. If you had three or four guys come up expired at a time, you get screwed. Now you can manage those binds much more easily. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by BarbeTiger on 7/20 at 9:06 pm to Brettesaurus Rex It would be awesome if there was an EBay like website for Ultimate Team. Maybe in College Football 18Reply Back to Top |

Comments about Yakima Racks PowderHound w/ Locks:
I like the quality build and look of these racks. My only complaint would be the time to install, and since I'll only be using them for the winter I'll have to deal with this twice a year. They require an allyn wrench to tighten the clamps down onto my factory crossbars (2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee). It's a trial and error process to loosen the bolts enough to get around the crossbars but not so much that the clamps come apart. Then you have to position and tighten 4 four bolts for each rack carefully to keep front and back racks aligned and straight up. Not complex at all just a time consuming trial and error process that's annoying with an allyn wrench.
I also find the racks take a little more effort to click closed on my skis then my old Yakimas. Not really a problem just takes a little getting used to.

Thelma McDonald Passed away June 28, 2014 as the result of a stroke. She had improved somewhat but never went beyond a certain point and she went very suddenly. I am her sister and will be taking over all her memorials. My FAG ID is 46598967. She enjoyed Find a grave so much and she made so many nice friends. It filled a void since she was unable to do much for several years. I want to thank all of you for your kindness towards her and know that she appreciated all of you.

Are you kin to the Leland B. Coggin... Find A Grave memorial #3967915 ? I ask because I was trying to associate Mary Louise Furr Coggin (memorial # 14755554) to her husband's memorial. My grand-aunt Eunice Mae Furr Morris was a sister to Louise.

Thelma May You Rest In Peace
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Just to let you know this cemetery does not have an office so in order to find a grave location you would have to contact the funeral homes in the area. Also, When I was out there last (January this year)looking for graves that folks had requested a photo for that some had passed in 2010 still did not have markers and/or stones were still yet to be transcribed with date of death. AND, this cemetery is not small by any means. Not as big as most but very spacious.
God Bless,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I want to thank you for the info about Affordable Markers. I did get on their website and then called the cemetery. As you said, the marker is only $238 but I also have to have a foundation which is another $148.
My mother lives in Kendallville and so does my brother. I live just south of them in Avilla. If your mother-in-law is active in senior programs, she may know my mother. She goes to Council on Aging, Youth Center and sometimes to the Legion. She was also at the Senior Prom last Saturday night so she may run into her somewhere.
Thanks again.

Ultra Milk Cleanser with Soy Extract is a good, though exceedingly overpriced, water-soluble cleanser for normal to dry skin. The amount of alcohol is unlikely to be a problem for skin; this cleanser is fragrance-free.
A gentle, hydrating, effective cleanser with natural Soy based extract.
Water, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Glycol Stearate, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides, Alcohol Denat., Lactic Acid, Soy Isoflavones, Panthenol, Bisabolol, Sodium Hydroxide, Methylparaben, PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Allantoin Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Tocopherol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Ultraceuticals At-A-Glance
Strengths: Almost all the products are fragrance-free; one very good cleanser and some good vitamin C and retinol moisturizers; an effective AHA product with lactic acid; all the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection; stable packaging.
Weaknesses: Expensive; most of the AHA products have pH values too high for exfoliation to occur; irritating skin-lightening products; no effective products for acne-prone skin.
What a great name for a skin-care line! Not only does the "ultra" prefix speak to consumers looking for the best or most potent products, but also the "ceuticals" suffix lends a medicinal touch that is reminiscent of the emerging term "cosmeceuticals" (which is a marketing term that has no sanctioned validity or standards, so it can be applied to any product).
Ultraceuticals was the brainchild of Australian plastic surgeon Dr. Geoffrey Heber, whose vision to deliver "honest, clinically-proven skin care" back in 1991 was years ahead of the trend of doctors as skin-care salespeople. The company speaks readily of its ingredient technology, which is what the people behind it believe makes Ultraceuticals a cut above the rest. The clinical study results and before-and-after images provided in the company's catalog look convincing, but, as is usually the case, the details are left out. We don't know what product in their double-blind study was used as a control, we don't know what other products the study participants used prior to being treated with the Ultraceuticals cream, and the result (that topical vitamin C can improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin) is hardly revolutionary or exclusive to Ultraceuticals. It is well established that stabilized vitamin C applied topically (and consumed orally) can do this (Sources: The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, August 2005, pages 963–972; The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, February 2005, pages 304–307; and Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, January 2005, pages 4–9). Moreover, many, many other antioxidants have the same ability, including vitamin E, green tea, and retinol. In fact, many researchers believe that, regardless of the content of a single antioxidant in a product, a better approach is to use skin-care products that offer a blend of antioxidants. In that sense, Ultraceuticals falls a bit short.
Australians may be all abuzz about this skin-care line, and it is creeping into the United States. Yet aside from offering mostly fragrance-free products and consistently using packaging to keep light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable, it really isn't anything new under the sun. However, as you will see from the reviews below, there are a few star products to consider if the prices don't bother you.

Swanstone Corporate Statement
For more than four decades, we have been a quiet leader in the kitchen and bath industry. Our high-quality products have always balanced durability, value and style. Innovation is one of our core values, and we have set a standard with our ability to invent. Now it's time to reinvent.
The Swan Story
For more than 40 years, we've been creating innovative and affordable solid surface products and materials for customers all over the world. It started in 1964, when we introduced the Swan Shell Shower, a doorless, shell-shaped shower that captured the spirit of its time.
The Shell Shower was the first in a long line of original kitchen and bath products from Swan, including the Circle Shower as well as the industry's first non-ceramic tile bathtub wall system.
In 1987, we introduced Swanstone to the world, first with a line of vanity tops and bowls. Swanstone quickly became known for its superior impact strength, heat resistance, and ability to resist scratches and stains. Consumers now had an elegant and durable solid surface material that was also affordable.
Since then, our Swanstone line has expanded to include a wide variety of kitchen sinks, countertops, tub and shower walls, and more. In 1994 we introduced the Swanstone 1/4" sheet program, offering even more flexibility to Swanstone customers. In 1997 we introduced a complete line of Swanstone products for the restaurant industry, including tabletops, countertops, vanity tops, mop service sinks and windowsills.
At Swan, we're committed to a policy of continuous improvement, to providing our customers with the highest quality products and most responsive customer service in the kitchen & bath industry. And we stand behind this commitment with some of the best warranties in the business.
Made in America
The Swan Corporation is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with manufacturing facilities in Centralia, Illinois.
We proudly manufacture all products made from these material systems in the USA.

Find Understanding in Misunderstanding: Renewing the Cycle of Change-A Defense of the "Employees First, Customers Second" Philosophy of Management
Vineet Nayar
Publication Date:Jun 08, 2010Discipline:General ManagementSource:Harvard Business Press Chapters |
Product number:6007BC-HCB-ENG Length:23p |
English Hardcopy Black & White
Also Available in:
English Hardcopy Black & White | $ 6.93
As author Vineet Nayar, CEO of HCL Technologies, points out, it is probably easier to misunderstand his "employees first, customers second" management philosophy than it is to understand it. So in this chapter, Nayar addresses the misunderstandings he hears most frequently as he travels around the world talking about his unconventional approach and how it enabled HCLT, under his leadership, to realize enormous profitable growth-even during the worst of the global financial crisis. Some of the objections he addresses head on: "Employees first, customers second" won't work in difficult times; it isn't necessary in good times; customers will never see its value; it requires large-scale initiatives; it doesn't improve a company's performance. In a narrative rich with anecdotes but reliant on solid business results, Nayar presents a compelling case for creating transformative change, even in a vast global corporation, by turning conventional management upside down. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 5 of "Employees First, Customers Second: Turning Conventional Management Upside Down."
subjects covered:

This agreement is an important foundation for the development of Volleyball and Unified Volleyball in the region. The seminar agenda covered general introductions in Special Olympics and Unified Sports, Special Olympics Volleyball and Unified Volleyball rules and guidelines as well as discussions how to achieve equally high quality standards across the region and planning European activities and events. A three-hour practical session was organized involving local athletes and partners who are candidates for the first Special Olympics Serbia Unified Volleyball team that will be starting training soon. Luka Grumic, 17,who is eager to play as a partner on the new team said: "This was a great training session! The atmosphere was very positive and I would like to continue playing with this team"! Vladimir "Vanja" Grbic, Vice President of the Volleyball Federation of Serbia and a multiple medal winner at the Olympic Games, European and World Championships actively engaged in the practical session and gave a highly motivational speech.

what are the dimensions inside the lower cabinet? I have a toaster over that's 19x12x11. Will it fit?
This unit was pretty easy to assemble. The drawer is a little wobbly and doesn't always like to close straight but all in all works very well. I got it to free up counter space which it did. So far I'm very happy with this cart.

Pretty Good I put this together in about an hour or so while watching tv. It was not too difficult. The drawer does not work very well. It falls off the track almost every time we pull it out. It is easy to put back on, but it is just a little annoying. Works for what we needed it for. We keep our microwave on top to free up counter space.

Attractive cart This cart is nice looking and a good place to store extra stuff in my small kitchen. I keep my Kitchen Aid mixer on top and recipe box and several cook books on the shelf. It took my husband just a little more than 1 1/2 hours to assemble. There was one screw cover that he couldn't inserted but it is against a cupboard and doesn't show. The drawer sticks about every other time I close. I did soap the track but still not so great. I store all my smaller sharp knives in the drawer. I did line the drawer and placed some dividers inside. The top is not an actual cutting board just looks like one. Overall I really like it with my white cupboards.

Just right! I have had this item for several months. I purchased it to hold a microwave and I needed extra storage space. My husband had no problem putting it together. I was out of town when it arrived and he called excited telling me how nice it was, and attached a photo. He was amazed at the quality without a much higher price. We had been out looking for something like this for a while, therfore he was well aware of prices. It is well made, very sturdy, and looks nice. The butcher box top is exactly that, solid wood. The color is antique white. I highly recommend this.

Nice in any kitchen This kitchen trolley was easy to put together by myself. Quality is good, directions were (pictures only) easy to follow. The piece is holding our heavy microwave and can still roll around on the casters easily. The size was exactly as stated. The color is a very slight off white - not a pure cool white. The butcher block top is just laminate not an actual butcher block - though under a microwave it looks nice. The bottom storage section is large enough to store a 6 pack of paper towels and the doors have a magnetic closure. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Nice product The wheels are nice for easy move. The wood parts of the cart is constructed of plywood - not very durable stuff but it's holding up well so far. The handles however scratch pretty easily on the wood surfaces so be careful while assembling! Trolley was sturdy after proper assembling.For what we needed it for - it did the job.

Looks very nice............. A bit more complicated to put together and having a power screwdriver will certainly speed things up rather than relying on the allen wrench provided. Remember to slide in the base of the drawer before you put on the front piece. bottom shelf, inside cabinet, won't hold real heavy itmes. Overall, very pleased with this nice looking trolley.

Oh Yeah! (5/5) | Oct 3, 2009 | Tony Flanagan | Johannesburg SO | |
I bought the Imperia 220 Electric from Adriatic here in Joburg last month. And what a pleasure it is to use! I am a university lecturer and "pasta fresca, fatta in casa" is my little sideline. After working all day you really need something easy to use. Speed and minimum effort please! Well yes, the Imperia does it all. I can now do 4 batches of 5 eggs/500g flour inside of 60 minutes! I can have the kitchen cleaned and 6.5kg cooked pasta in the freezer in 1hr 40 start to finish. Expensive but real good. TonyF PS Why isn't South Africa on the countries list??? |

Economy and child abuse cases linked
Health officials say a recent study says that dramatic increases in unemployment rates can be linked to an increase in instances of child abuse.
Research found a 65 percent increase in abuse cases during the recession. Each year an estimated 1200 to 1400 children in the United States are killed or injured by shaking.
The Children's Advocacy Center says in 2010 in the Rogue Valley, 5 cases of abusive head trauma were reported in children, four of which were under the age of 1.

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
Alright, enough with the boring side dishes already! It's time for the good stuff, the dessert. The dessert is easily the most anticipated part of the Thanksgiving meal and I like to go all out for it. I could not believe that I did not have any pumpkin in my Thanksgiving dinner yet so a pumpkin pie cheesecake seemed like the perfect choice. I could not resist using a gingersnap snap crust as the ginger and pumpkin flavour combo is an amazing one. I then took things a step further and covered the cheesecake with some home made caramel sauce. One of the things that I like about a cheesecake is that you can easily make it the day before so you can lighten the load for an already large meal. In fact it is best to let the cheesecake cool completely and then let it chill out in the fridge overnight so it really should be made a day ahead. This pumpkin pie cheesecake was the perfect end to my Thanksgiving dinner!
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
(makes 6+ servings)Printable Recipe
2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons butter (melted)
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (room temperature)
3 eggs (slightly beaten)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1. Mix the gingersnap cookie crumbs, sugar, ginger and butter and press into the bottom and up 1 inch along the sides of a 9 inch spring form pan.
2. Bake the crust in a preheated 350F oven for 5 minuters and set aside.
3. Cream the cream cheese.
4. Mix in the eggs one at a time followed by the sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla and then the spices.
5. Pour the mixture into the spring form pans.
6. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until it is set, about 60-70 minutes.
7. Let it cool completely.
8. Chill the cheesecake in the fridge overnight.

The DTR-6.9 is Integra's first receiver to carry THX's new Select2 Plus™ Certification, which includes the new THX Loudness Plus™ volume control technology.

The DTR-6.9 features four HDMI inputs, and is fully compatible with HDMI v. 1.3a, including 1080p and Deep Color™ 36-bit video signals. It features onboard decoding for Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audiomaking it fully capable of exploiting the high definition audio as well as video potential of the Blu-Ray disc formats, and all using a single HDMI cable connection. All HDMI inputs are upscaled to 1080p resolution using Faroudja's DCDi Cinema technology.
The Integra DTR-6.9 includes a comprehensive package of features specifically tailored to the needs of custom installers, including an Ethernet port for integration with Network-based control systems such as AMX Device Discovery and Crestron E-Control. It also includes bi-directional RS-232, RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) system control integration over HDMI, three programmable 12-volt triggers, dual IR inputs, and three unique assignable IR code sets. Lockable customized dealer settings can be independently stored for easy recall, making it simple for installers to maintain complex installations.
For simplified setup, the DTR-6.9 includes Audyssey's acclaimed MultEQ room acoustics correction, as well as Audyssey's Dynamic EQ algorithm, which refines the receiver's frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment to compensate for deteriorations in the listening experience at different volume levels. These functions work together automatically to tailor the receiver's output to correct for room acoustics, listening position, and playback-level distortions, delivering an overall experience that is a much closer match to what the audio production engineers originally intended
Designed to offer maximum flexibility and integration options for multi-room audio distribution and control, the DTR-6.9 is capable of processing two audio sources simultaneously for both the main and second zones, and includes a dedicated high definition capable Zone 2 component video output. It features a selectable fixed/variable line level Zone 2 output to feed a dedicated zone receiver or amplifier. It also includes Integra's Powered Zone 2 feature, which employs two of the receiver's internal amplifier channels to power speakers in a second room while simultaneously providing a full 5.1 channel home theater system in the main room; when Zone 2 is turned off, the main zone reverts to 7.1-channel output. For the second zone there are independent controls for bass, treble, balance, maximum volume, and power-on volume.
The Integra DTR-6.9 includes a high quality AM/FM radio tuner and is also "SAT Ready" with connections for both XM and Sirius satellite radio, which can be simultaneously active. It includes 40 presets for AM, FM, XM, or Sirius stations. The DTR-6.9 is now available from Integra dealers with a suggested retail price of $1,000.
Integra designs and manufactures premium Home Theater receivers, processors, amplifiers, and DVD players that are specifically designed to meet the needs of custom audio/video systems installers. System integration and convergence technology protocols include RS-232, IR, and on-board Ethernet for network connectivity and TCP/IP control. Integra has access to vast technical resources, and bears a proud heritage of over 60 years of audio engineering excellence.

Well, I guess, even if you are not scared after learning about the hefty price tag and are ready to pay that much money, then the corporatocrats in charge will make up some different reason to refuse selling it to you I know that at least one of the Gentoo developers tried to buy an X-GENE box for working on arm64 support and was ready to pay the requested several thousands dollars price, but this has not moved anywhere. Moreover, you will likely have to sign some binding agreements, which forbid to share the benchmark results or disclose some other information.
So everyone has to relax and just wait for the availability of the real 64-bit ARM processors in Linux powered consumer devices, such as tablets/smartphones and low cost devboards. They may probably show up on the market in half a year or so.
I don't know what benchmarks you're looking at, but the statements above strike me as very wrong.
A more accurate claim, IMHO, would be that (averaged over a range of code) the Apple A7 has about equivalent IPC to an i3.
There are multiple ways to look at this. On the one hand, that's a whole lot slower than an i3 clocked twice as fast, let alone an i7 clocked at 4GHz. On the other hand, the A7 is a whole lot cheaper and smaller, and uses less power (at the same frequency, and vastly less than a 4GHz CPU).
Basically the only honest thing to say is that the A7 is a remarkably impressive effort for only the second Apple core.
Extrapolating beyond that (which is what people are essentially doing when they perform say an i7@4GHz comparison) heads into territory that NO-ONE knows anything about, so you're simply guessing. Yes, Intel can drive their CPU at 4GHz and Apple can't, so advantage Intel. But maybe Apple could? Who knows? They just have no need to do so.
Maybe Intel's advantage is all process, and Apple (or at least their manufacturing partners) will get to Intel's level of process soon enough, given their higher volumes?
Maybe Intel's advantage is circuits, and Apple does not have that sort of expertise, so they'll be at around half to a third of Intel's max frequency for quite a few years?
Maybe Apple have a deliberate plan in mind, a specific ordering by which they will add things to their SoC (2014 means higher frequency, HW TM, better uncore; 2015 means revised micro-architecture that's 30% higher IPC than today and quad-core; 2016 means kilo-instruction-processing techniques and performance equivalent to Intel at half the frequency)? They're following the plan that gets them to where they want to be with the most appropriate CPUs at each point along the way.
It's fun to speculate and all, but let's be realistic here. None of us have a clue what Apple's end goal is: (Replace the CPUs in all Macs with an Apple SoC? Replace the CPUs in Apple's server centers with an Apple SoC? Sell an Apple CPU to the world and compete with Intel?) let alone the capabilities of their manufacturing partners. Which means that extrapolations (implied or otherwise) beyond the actual facts --- the actual frequencies Apple ships, for the actual target products Apple sells --- tell us nothing except that Apple targets phones (where Intel is largely unsuccessful) and Intel targets servers (where Apple has zero presence today, and no claim of a presence tomorrow).
The quote was from an official local ARM dealer. For the 5k€ I expect decent documentation about all parts on the board (main cpu register description, board schematics, datasheets for all other chips on it, The price is in line with what we paid for development boards and vendor support 10 years ago).
Sometimes I miss my old job: I always got halfway decent documention from vendors if I asked, even from nvidia (their initial
tegra 2 documentation they sent me didn't even have half the registers and bits of half the blocks documented. Our impression was that they thought everyone was
going to copy their reference design and all they needed to provide was a kernel binary. The recent Jetson-TK1 documentation, or lack thereof, makes me think they
haven't changed their thinking in the last 6 years).
I said exactly which benchmark I was looking at. Did you even Google it?
All I claimed is what the benchmarks relayed. No more.
On single threaded perf, the firstname.lastname@example.com is about 30% faster than the email@example.com. That number is a composite that looks at FP, integer and memory tests.
So, before you accuse someone of guessing perhaps your should at least inform yourself of what they are speaking about.
Look at the site and get back to me with particular complaints.
Lastly,I don't give five shits about apple, I'm only using then because they've the only v8a core that's readily available, do, again, next be cautious with your assumptions.
I have no idea why you are so angry. Or for that matter where you got your numbers from.
Let's LOOK at the numbers:
iPad Air at 1.4GHz. Geekbench single core rating is 1371:
To quote from Geekbench: "Geekbench 3 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2500 (which is the score of an Intel Core i5-2520M @ 2.50 GHz)"
Scaling that 2500 to 1.4GHz would give a rating of 1400. Like I said --- equal IPC.
Don't agree with that? OK, let's try a different Intel chip.
This gives us a single core score (for a Haswell i5 iMac, 32-bit mode, 3.2 GHz) of 3304. Naively scaling that to 1.4GHz we get 1445. Same sort of ballpark. 64-bit mode would increase the value by a few percent, but same basic point --- a Cyclone core is about the same IPC as a an i3, and ever so slightly behind an i5 and i7 (which have larger L3 caches, probably a slightly better memory controller, and a bunch of features that help with larger benchmarks but not so much with Geekbench).
You're absolutely right. I misread the baseline as being at 1000, thus my 30%, which certainly explains why you were asking which benchmark.
I was angry for two reasons: 1. it didn't seem as if you'd looked at the benchmark site (since you were asking which benchmark), 2. got seemed to be focusing on apple when the fact that the a7 is an apple chip was entirely incidental to me. I mentioned the freq scaling only to bring up the point that even if the a7 was clock-for-clock as fast as the i5, due to it's arch it may not be feasible to scale it that high on current nodes (and without lots of cooling).
I apologize for being short with you.

Students dress for success at college, career, transfer fair
Spirits are high as a group of high school juniors and seniors walks across campus to the Gallery, where they will hear filmmaker Ryan Darst speak on the importance of connections and social skills, which he said "makes you a fully rendered adult."
Nearly every 11th- and 12th-grader in the county showed up in their business attire to meet and greet college and career reps at the fifth annual College, Career and Transfer Fair at Feather River College on Sept. 18.
Busloads of students from around the county as well as Westwood and Loyalton descended upon FRC's campus for an up-close and personal encounter with representatives from 29 different colleges and 67 career booths.
Students rotated through three activities: guest speaker independent filmmaker Ryan Darst spoke to students about the fair's theme, "Hack Your Life"; a networking session with postsecondary education and career reps; and an FRC alumni panel discussion.
The fair opened with a brief video created by Enactus president Chris DeHart, who depicted the Hack Your Life theme. The popular phrase refers to making plans and applying entrepreneurial skills to reach your goals and make your life what you want it to be.
Darst showed clips of his award-winning film "Dreamworld" (which played in its entirety Sept. 17 at the West End Theatre), and encouraged students to "load up your hard drive." Darst emphasized the importance of work and life experience and social and software skills.
Darst used his own experiences as a springboard from which to demonstrate the importance of having a job, any job at all, that would inevitably help a person achieve his or her ultimate career goal. He stressed that the connections made even at the lowliest job could be the "big break" needed to boost a worker's career.
Local FRC alumni panelists Amy Churchill, Tyler Pew and Seamas Gallagher answered questions related to choosing their career paths and finding their passion.
The three-hour event culminated in a relaxed lunch hour where students could further network with college and business reps, roam around campus or engage in conversation with guest speakers, organizers, teachers and students.

Information and communications technology or information and communication technology, usually called ICT, is often used as an extended synonym for information technology (IT), but is usually a more general term that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), intelligent building management systems and audio-visual systems in modern information technology. ICT consists of all technical means used to handle information and aid communication, including computer and network hardware, communication middleware as well as necessary software. In other words, ICT consists of IT as well as telephony, broadcast media, all types of audio and video processing and transmission and network based control and monitoring functions. The expression was first used in 1997 in a report by Dennis Stevenson to the UK government and promoted by the new National Curriculum documents for the UK in 2000.

Vertigo: 2005/06
Show day, Adelaide.
16 November 2005
Show day, Adelaide.
Bruce went in for his angiogram at 11am, then called me just as we were boarding the plane at Sydney Airport, to tell me the glorious news that his 'heart complaint' had turned out to be pericarditis - exactly the virus that Bono had talked about, which inflames the membrane around the heart to mimic the symptoms of a heart attack. So, aside from been wrecked with exhaustion, Bruce is absolutely fine and will be discharged either today or tomorrow. I made an announcement over the aeroplane tannoy to let everyone know, and there was much rejoicing.
Flying into a city and straight to the venue on show day is always a bit of a mad run around, but today took it to a whole new level. Bruce is AOK, but clearly wasnt going to make the show in Adelaide tonight, which meant we had about two hours to figure out how to run the lighting system without him. Enter Craig, one of our long-term lighting techs, who has a good knowledge of where everything is in the lighting console. He doesnt necessarily know the cues, however, as he spends most of the gigs behind the stage, which is arguably not the best vantage point from which to learn a show. C21st lighting desks are a riot of flexible software, which can be entirely reconfigured to suit the individual user. Consequently, running a show from a console set up and programmed by another person is much akin to wearing someone elses trousers. You may be able to squeeze into them but its bound to feel uncomfortable.
In order to spread the load, I volunteered to call the cues for the 18 followspot operators, whilst helping Craig with the lighting cue points. Smasher is pretty self-sufficient in terms of running the video content, though there are a couple of new pieces which he might need help with, so I arranged to be able to push the button with my left big toe when required.
The last time U2 did a show without Bruce was Mexico City in 1993, so this was going to be an interesting experiment. Consequently, I havent called followspot cues for a U2 show since then, but the riding-a-bike principle kicked in and it all came flooding back. Between us all we did a sterling job, I reckon, and its safe to say that the show ran pretty much to plan. By the end of the show, in the knowledge that Bruce was perfectly healthy, it actually became quite fun, even though we were all exhausted by the end of the show. The only real car crash was 'Stuck in a Moment' where Smasher had got through all his video cues by the time the rest of us were only on the second verse, but Im still saying no-one would have noticed.
The only real downer for me was at the end of Kite when some tosser in the audience grabbed hold of the kite string. As the band came to the end of the show and took their bows, said tosser slowly pulled the string in, so the kite sank slowly, humiliatingly and embarrassingly back to earth where its probably now on eBay. It only takes one to spoil it for the whole class.

Can anyone comment on what the differences are between the Outlook configuration you would get by following the Implementing David Allen's Workflow Processing Using Microsoft Outlook document, and the Outlook configuration you get after installing the Getting Things Done Outlook Add-In? I'm mainly wondering if you end up with basically the same Outlook configuration and if not, what the differences are. Any other comments about either would also be welcome.
No announcement yet.
Difference between the Outlook plug-in and Outlook Setup Doc
GuestTags: None
The manual gives ideas about how to configure and work with Outlook views. The add-in comes with those views pre-defined.
The manual uses categories while the add-in copies those categories to a new field called "Actions" and uses those in certain new views. The add-in still uses Outlook's categories field so tasks will sync to your PDA.
The manual contains many handy hints about using Outlook in general - speed keys, etc. and explains how David Allen ties GTD to Outlook. The add-in makes assigning tasks to projects possible and creates views to review those groupings. The add-in is what I would call - email centric - because it really improves your ability to process emails into next actions.
I learned quite a bit from the manual - and appreciate the add-in for the time it saves me in processing and the ability to view tasks in both their next action context and their project context. Both are good.
If you're interested in Outlook, GTD and, perhaps, the next, next thing - you may want to visit http://home.attbi.com/~whkratz/index.htm - Bill's site has another Outlook method, good tips, a forum and he's been hinting at some automation as well.
Best regards,
Guy Bjerke
Thanks for the reply Guy.
For anyone interested, some also sent me this link to the Netcentrics site which also answers my question.

This course is designed as a hands-on, application-oriented training course using the Watershed Modeling System (WMS) to make hydrologic estimates using a variety of techniques. It will provide attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to use data derived from geographical information systems (GIS) to develop hydrologic estimates and model runoff from watersheds. The course also teaches how to use digital terrain data for the development of watershed parameters that are required by most commonly used hydrologic analysis programs.
The WMS is a comprehensive environment for hydrologic analysis. It is developed by the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL) of Brigham Young University, and has been licensed for use by all State and Federal highway agencies. WMS makes it possible to take advantage of the wealth of digital terrain, land use, soil, and other GIS data readily available from government and private agencies. This data can then be used for preparing input files for several commonly used hydrologic models. Models supported by the interface include HEC-1 (HMS), TR-20, TR-55, and the Rational Method. This course also includes instruction in use of the regional regression equations contained in the National Flood Frequency (NFF) database. This course teaches the techniques and methods necessary to locate and use GIS data so that labor intensive processes such as delineating watershed boundaries and calculating modeling parameters from paper maps can be avoided when computing design flows and developing flow hydrographs at bridges and culverts.
Participants will receive a notebook that includes course materials, a WMS User's Manual, and copies of the software, workshops, and tutorials used in the course. Non-State highway agency course participants will receive a demonstration version of the proprietary WMS computer program.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Federal, State, and local hydrologic/hydraulic engineers who have responsibility for the design and analysis of highway stream crossings. In order to derive the most benefit from this training, course participants should have knowledge of the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrologic modeling. Experience with one of the aforementioned hydrologic modeling computer programs would be helpful.
