Topic sorta covers the basic question. If I have an Asus M4A89TD, I know that Asus released a bios upgrade that allows you to use AM3+ processors inside of it (The motherboard didnt originally support it). Will this BIOS upgrade cause the am3+ processor to be slower than just getting a motherboard that supports it without a bios upgrade? |
While I don't know this, if I had to guess, I'd say "no" for your motherboard, but that's just a guess. I'd be a lot more skeptical of trying to make an AM3+ processor work right on an older chipset like a 760G. If that has the 890FX chipset, then it's the same silicon as in the 990FX chipset, so it's likely that Asus could completely fix chipset issues just in the BIOS. There could also be socket issues, however. AMD originally intended for Socket AM3+ processors to work in Socket AM3 systems, but gave up on it because they couldn't make it reliable enough. Different currents and voltages needed in different places on the socket could cause issues, but a motherboard built for overclocking that offered way overkill power delivery for Deneb and Thuban might well be perfectly fine there for Vishera. I wouldn't go nuts overclocking an AM3+ processor on your motherboard, however. |
On a related note, upgrading may not be worth the money or effort. There are many claims of Phenom processors outperforming even the FX-8350 in certain applications. It would be difficult to predict individual results due to the variety of games and system configurations. If you really want an upgrade, it might be a good time to use an Intel processor.
It depends some on what processor he has now. Upgrading from a 3 GHz Athlon II X2 is a lot more likely to be beneficial than upgrading from a Phenom II X6 1100T.
Yes. The reason AMD creates a new socket is to be able to get the necessary implementation for additional features. On older sockets with a bios upgrade, many new features do not carry over. Considering the price of AMD motherboards, I would definitely upgrade the mobo along with the processor. It really makes no sense to allow upgrading bios for CPUs of a different socket considering how many years it takes AMD to make a new socket. It also limits the design of the CPU. Its a good selling point but is ultimately an Achilles heel. When the bulldozer cores were first released, they did not perform as well as the Phenom II cores. However, its been a while since they released. Bios updates, Windows thread execution fixes, and newer process nodes have changed that. There is an estimate that Steamroller may bridge the performance gap between Intel and AMD processors. However, the TDP gap probably will not improve. If I picked and chose benchmarks, I could easily say the FX-8350 beats the top bin Intel Chips in benchmarks, but it would be straying from the truth. |
As far as I can tell, there is no performance-related difference between AM3 and AM3+. The features only allow the new socket to support better CPUs. If the motherboard manufacturer's product page says your AM3 motherboard supports a certain CPU with a BIOS upgrade, it should work. Here is a link to the differences: http://www.asrock.com/news/events/2011AM3+/ Again, I think the OP would be better off keeping their current CPU if it is a high-end Phenom. Upgrading to a FX series is only worth it if their current CPU is not one of those. |
Yes the memory subsystem (HT) is slower. And the TDP limits of AM3 are lower. Some more advance power regulation functions are disabled.

A Tale of Two Angels
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Coming up on the twenty game mark, our Halos have quietly moved themselves towards the head of the pack, though you wouldn't know it if all you read was the mainstream sports media outlets. But you know? That is okay. Let the east coast bias continue to sally forth, the Angels will continue to quietly play solid baseball. Next thing you know, the pundits will backtrack on their pre-season picks and talk about how the Halos never left.
Getting to the title of today's entry, the worst of times had our starting pitcher going four innings, six runs off ten hits. Not Ervin Santana's best outing. However, I would say the situational hitting played a bigger part of this loss, as the line up was only able to produce one paltry run while stranding eight and batting .125 with runners in scoring position. Not so great.
The best of times came courtesy of under rated Matt Palmer going six innings giving up one run, earned, off three hits. Situational hitting? .500 with runners in scoring position resulted in fifteen runs.
Thing is, yesterday we had ten hits but only scored one run. Today, five more hits netted us fourteen more runs. Who has questions?
The youth brigade is off and running as well. Mark Trumbo is tearing things up, with Hank Conger and Peter Bourjos in hot pursuit. Today they went a combined nine for thirteen with nine RBI's. Again, who has questions? This potentially puts Mike Scioscia in a quandry when Kendrys Morales comes back online
While saddened, I am not surprised to hear that Brandon Wood was designate for assignment. For the record, I will stick with my guns in saying that he never got a full chance and was mismananged. Sometimes, though, change is good. Fourteen years in the military have taught me that. Also for the record, I expect Brandon will pick up somewhere and do well.
The Carl Crawford fumble had Halo's fans up in arms, SUV's swerving, and Starbucks spilling all over the place. So far, his crazy expensive long term contract has netted the Red Sox nine hits, two RBI's, and a ******** .143 batting average. I'm sure he will find his swing, but I am guessing Sox fans are sweating a little over that, along with their five and eleven start.
Jayson Werth has eleven hits with two RBI's with a .200 average, but at least he has managed to draw eight walks.
Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea not to take out a third mortgage to get those guys.
Picking up Where we Left Off
And not picking up in a good way. Teams of Angels past thrived off of situational hitting and lights out pitching. Through the first four games of this season, the Halos are hitting somewhat decent, the team average thus far is .290. But, as any stat-head will tell you, numbers can be deceiving. With runners in scoring position, seven for forty-two for an embarrassing .167 average. Forgive me while I fight through a bout of deja vu. As much as I try to be an optimist about this team, they are making it very difficult. Even the starting pitching is starting to scare me once you get through our big three. Kazmir didn't make it through two and Piniero will miss his first start.
It only took three games for Mike Scioscia to start changing up line ups and position players. The "contact" line up went three for fourteen with runners in scoring position and stranded nine. While there were no errors, the quality of play in the field with players at unfamiliar spots was not up to Angels standards. Me personally? I'm tired of what seems to be gimmick baseball. Stack your line up with your everyday position players and let them play.
Finally, I am just about ready to declare the return of the arson squad with Fernando Rodney being the lead fire bug. Today he managed to squeak out seven strikes from twenty pitches thrown, giving up two runs, walking three, and allowing two hits. That added up to a blown save, the second blown save of the game, and the Angels third blown save in three games. Also featured in the opening series of the season was two walk off home runs by the opposition Kansas City Royals. The series total for the bullpen breaks down like this: 16 innings, 19 hits, 13 runs, 10 earned runs, 13 walks, 14 strikeouts, and the aforementioned three blown saves. They have also managed to give up five home runs.
If Mike Scioscia cannot settle his line up, if we continue to strand runners in scoring position, and if the bullpen continues to hemorrhage runs, then it will be a very long season.
Dogs of the West Angels Open With a Win
It has been an incredibly busy month between the events all throughout Africa and the Middle East, the tragedy in Japan, the steady movement of Marine battalions in and out of Afghanistan, and my impending move back to southern California. It is nice to be back on the blogs, and I am thrilled that baseball is finally back on.
I am calling the Angels the dogs of the west this year. This is due to the overwhelming assessment by many a baseball pundit that the Rangers will repeat. Last year, the flavor around this time was Seattle. This year, the cool aid is Texas flavored with an Oakland chaser. The Halos? Most have them third, largely a product of a significantly off year. That is perfectly okay with me. Growing up an Angels fan in the 80's, I am used to my team being the underdogs. Honestly, this is not a bad thing. The pressure is off, and the division is theirs to win for a change, and it is the Rangers to lose.
With that being said, here are some early thoughts:
The Rangers will be involved in a lot of games with a score of about ten to eight. What side of the score they tend to be on will be directly proportional to how many at bats Michael Young gets.
Oakland's pitching looks scary. If their bats can be average then I think they have a legit chance to contend late in the season.
The Angels will be involved in a lot of games with a score of five to three. Which side they are on depends on the pen. Shakey today, my biggest concern still. By the way, someone please tell Fernando Rodney his cap is crooked.
Professed Angels fans and Jeff Mathis haters are smack in the middle of a moral dilema right now. Are they happy that their team won or upset because the "worst catcher in baseball history" went two for four with a home run? I know, it's only one game, but I can't help it.
Jered Weaver looked great. Defense looked great. Starting pitching and defense will carry this team.
Speaking of looking great, the bullpen did not. Weaver's six and a third innings with two hits, two walks, six K's and no earned runs was matched with Takahashi, Walden, Jepsen, Kohn, and Rodney going a combined two and two thirds innings with five hits, four walks, four K's and two earned runs. This will work against the Royals. Up against the Rangers, Yankees, or Red Sox and the score is six to four with a goose egg in the win column. The pen has to protect leads.
Three for thirteen. That was Halo batting with runners in scoring position. This was the other thing that fell unusually quiet last year. Pitching, defense, and situational hitting is what will make this team great.
I will leave it here. It's a little thin on anything really analytical, but to be honest, I have the rest of the season to crunch numbers. Right now, I am just happy that the season is on, the Angels have won their home opener, and all is right with the universe once again.
How Do I Title the Garret Anderson Retirement Entry?
I recently read an article written by Joe Posnanski regarding the late great Duke Snider. Admittedly, I knew little of him, other than associating him as one of the game's great centerfielders. However, there was one passage within the article that immediately caught my attention. Mr. Posnanski was comparing Carlos Beltran's and Raul Ibanez' playing style in the outfield. Over the same stretch of real estate, Ibanez looked like he was running for his life uphill, against the wind dragging an anchor. Beltran, on the other hand, was silky smooth like a Lena Horne track and a scotch on the rocks on a cool summer night. (For the record, those are my comparison descriptions, not Mr. Posnanski's). To get to the point, he identifies Carlos Beltran as the better outfielder, further stating:
"And yet … I have absolutely no doubt that Beltran has been booed countless more times for his defense than Ibanez. Why? Well, in part because Beltran has the curse of gracefulness. Beltran never quite looks like he is giving full effort. He never seems to be pushing against the edges of his potential. There may be some truth to this — maybe Beltran has not always given full effort, and maybe he has not always lived up to his potential. But who does? Anyway, he is trying much harder than it looks like he's trying."
The curse of gracefulness. Garret Anderson instantly came to mind. Never looked like he was running that fast, or swinging that hard. I remember local media ripping him for lack of hustle. To make another admission, I was not a Garret Anderson fan back in the late nineties. Back then I was an Erstad, Salmon, and DiSarcina guy. It seemed like we always had a crowded outfield and Garret was always talked about as a potential trade candidate. I was all for it, especially after watching Erstad try to single handedly take down the centerfield wall. That was more my style. When they traded Edmonds rather than Anderson, I was baffled. How could they trade the guy that made arguably the greatest centerfield catch ever over the guy that trotted around in left?
You see, I had been fooled by the curse of gracefulness. I, like many others, mistook his smooth style and quiet demeanor as lackadaisical and aloof. I mistook his often bland expressions as those of boredom. Man oh man, was I wrong.
As we closed out the nineties and moved into the 2000's, I began to see him in a different light. I think a lot of it had to do with some significant events in my own life. In 1997 I joined the Marine Corps. In 2000 my first daughter was born. As I worked full time at a bank, was a Marine Reservist, and went to school at night to finish my degree, I really started to appreciate hard work and tenacious determination. As I discovered that good things do not come easily, I started to really see and appreciate just how great Garret Anderson was as a player and an individual. During the time when sports stars were more interested in making cell phone calls from end zones and steroid fueled sluggers were busy inflating their heads (literally and figuratively) and home run numbers, there was Garret Anderson.
You never knew how good he was because he never talked about it. Pretty much no one outside of Anaheim knew how good he was until the 2003 All Star game. It was the ALCS in 2002 that really made me a fan of his. He closed out a game three win against the Twins with a sliding catch in shallow left……and he smiled! And not just any smile, it almost jumped off his face! He did have a personality! My daughter and I, then two, danced in the living room. She had no idea what was going on, but we were having a blast. After that, he slowly crept into my consciousness. My previous assessments of aloofness and a lax attitude were replaced by a quiet leadership style, hard work ethic, and an easy going confidence that appeared to be contagious. And man, he just kept on hitting!
Incidentally, Garret Anderson became my daughter's favorite player. She almost got his autograph at a 2007 game but lost out in the mass of kids (and adults) as he walked over to the stands. When games were on, I would yell when he was up to bat, and she would come running in to watch, cheering when he got on base, and sulking off if he did not. I was very thankful that she had chosen an athlete to admire that was not a self-absorbed diva mega star, but a blue collar all around solid guy. GA never made a bad headline, gave back to the community, and just played the game. The curse of gracefulness transgressed the field of play and permeated his personal and professional life outside the diamond. Of all the curses to have, this one is not bad. Not bad at all.
So how do I title this entry? This bloggers favorite player retires? Nope, Bobby Grich is my all-time favorite. Sorry Garret, he got there early on. You will have to come back as a coach to beat him out. All time Angel's great? Too generic. All around great guy? It states the obvious. The curse of gracefulness? I feel that would take away from both the recent passing of the Duke and Anderson's retirement announcement.
No, I think I will leave the title as is. Over the course of his career he inspired in me many emotions, from general dislike, to frustration, followed by indifference, respect, admiration, and finally, dismay when he was let go by the Angels. I will forever argue that letting him go was a mistake.
So Garret, thank you for being a great player for a fan like me to follow, for being a great role model to our youth, and for setting a shining example that it is not about accolades or contracts, but how you play the game. Enjoy your time with the family, and the deserved well wishes from the fans, coaches, and peers.
This Angel's Fan Believes Albert Pujols Passed up a Golden Opportunity
I hesitate to make this post. It is a little more personal than I like to get. Well, if you are going to be a writer then sometimes you have to put it out there, right?
I will disclose up front that the majority of my knowledge regarding the upcoming subject is based almost entirely upon what I have read on major news sights and syndicated sports writers columns. However, as a casual observer of baseball outside of the greater Anaheim metropolitan area, and a father of two impressionable young daughters, I have an opinion of the Albert Pujols affair.
By all accounts Mr. Pujols is one of the nice guys, the good guys, if you will, of baseball. He does not make headlines outside of the game. He is not linked to steroids nor do you hear about off field escapades. Mr. Pujols does much for the community and gives back significantly the riches his skill set has afforded him. In a word, commendable. Additionally, his career numbers to this point are, as quoted by multiple baseball folks smarter than me, "first ballot hall of fame."
Albert Pujols has also stated that he wants to stay in the only city that he has ever known as a professional baseball player. So when he says that he wants to complete a contract extension prior to the season? Absolutely! The last thing that you want is that eight hundred pound gorilla hanging around your locker room for the entire season……in other news: The St. Louis Cardinals signed an eight hundred pound gorilla just prior to spring training to an undisclosed dollar amount.
I recently came across this quote in a Tom Verducci column:
"Albert is not someone who is about the money," said a baseball source close to Pujols. "He has enough and his charitable work is amazing. He has flown doctors and dentists to the Dominican to give kids there access to health care. But he is someone with intense pride. He has worked hard to turn himself into the best hitter in baseball and he's earned the right to be treated that way in negotiations. It's not about greed with Albert. I think it's pride."
Really? He requires the salary to satisfy his pride? I am generally not one to put too much credence into single source reporting, but this is not single source. There have been multiple reports that say basically the same thing: Albert wants the salary that recognizes his current status as the greatest hitter playing baseball. If he really wants to stay in St. Louis then why does getting paid three hundred million dollars over ten years matter? He will have just gotten done making well over one hundred million on the current contract at the end of this season, not including incentives and endorsements. Once you are a millionaire that many times over does it matter? Three hundred million for ten years versus, say for arguments sake, two hundred million for seven years. Who cares! This is on top of the hundred million plus you have already made!
Albert's words state that he wants to be a Cardinal for life. Albert's actions state otherwise, he wants monetary confirmation he is the best in baseball. Apparently, his ridiculous numbers are not argument enough. If the Cards pay what he is asking, who will play around him? You cannot win with one uber paid mega star surrounded by a farm team. Ask the Rangers how that worked out for them. If some team is stupid enough to give him ten years at thirty per, paying him into his forties, then his words were just that: words.
Albert Pujols has passed up a golden opportunity to be one of the truly great good guys of baseball. He could have taken another home team discount, which would have paid him many more millions yet again. That would have been good for the team, good for the city of St. Louis, and good for some of the best baseball fans in the country. A home team discount allows the Cardinals to put a team around Mr. Pujols and make them dangerously competitive every season. A home team discount allows Mr. Pujols to go down in history….HISTORY….as one of the true baseball greats that set records, and stayed true to himself, his team, and his city.
But it is no longer about the fans or city of St. Louis. Now, it is about the contract that Ryan Howard just signed with the Phillies. It is about the contract that Alex Rodriguez signed with the Rangers and later the Yankees. In this day and age, your greatness is not measured by statistics, but by the size of your contract.
To bring this diatribe to a full circle closing, I am the father of two young daughters. My oldest is ten years old and has already told me she wants to play baseball, not softball. Her favorite players have been Garret Anderson and Torii Hunter. It makes it hard for me as a father to preach the team concept when money so obviously takes precedence, when you have players saying they support the team, but they have to do what is right for them. Yeah, not everyone makes the multi millions, and this is not meant to be an indictment of all players. I believe the majority are happy to play the game and earn an above average living. However, according to the MLBPA homepage frequently asked questions section, the average player salary in 2009 was $2,996,106 and the league minimum in the same year was $400,000. Not too bad considering the state of the national economy today. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a U.S. Marine Captain with thirteen years of service; you can Google my base salary. It is difficult for me to relate to or understand this multi million dollar problem set.
A scathing review of one player in one situation? Perhaps. Mr. Pujols and the Cardinals may come to an agreement at some point that works for both sides and the icon stays put. And really, who am I but just your average fan on the outside looking in? I look for actions though, not words. This is how I currently see it from my sub $400,000 per year vantage point.
Since this is an Angel's blog, I should finish off with some Halo's talk. It is refreshing to see our veteran beat writer Lyle Spencer dishing out updates at the cyclic rate. How hard it must be to spend spring in Arizona, talking daily to Angels of past, present, and future, and getting paid to boot? Blogging has made me realize just how hard it is to write on a regular basis, but I have to say I envy the guy with the access he has.
I really like Hank Conger. From all I have read and seen, he has a level head, an intelligent approach, and the capacity to run the field from behind home plate. I know Mike Scioscia is constantly high on Jeff Mathis, but Jeff has to know if he does not consistently produce his days are numbered. Competition is a good thing, and I have Hank as a dark horse candidate to break the opening day roster.
Sketchy reports indicate Brandon Wood worked on his hitting this winter with folks that do not wear Angels red during the regular season. Regardless of the validity of this, I hope the kid shakes off whatever rally monkey camped on his back all last season. No longer the minted future at third, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. I still say he should be given a look at short, his natural position and less pressure to produce power numbers.
Crazy long post, but if you've made it this far, I appreciate you taking the time to read my thoughts. Looking forward to opening day!
I'm Going Back to Cali….but not Young
This week I am pretty excited for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I have tentative orders to MCAS Miramar. Yep, I am coming back home to California. Not only will it put me back near family but I will be able to see games at the beloved Big A yet again on a regular basis.
The second reason why I am thus far having a good week is watching the unfolding drama in Texas.
A quick recap for those of you who may have spent the last few days reading more about Lindsey Lohan's latest debacle rather than America's true past time. It has come to light in recent days that Michael Young is now demanding a trade and has insinuated that he is unhappy with how the Ranger front office has treated him in the past few months. Moving on.
Does anyone else get the feeling that they signed Adrian Beltre just to keep him from the Halos? When the Rangers signed Beltre out of nowhere the first question that got asked was where was the club house captain Michael Young going to go? The answer was designated hitter and a "super utility" role. I did some research and discovered that none of the line up positions includes the super utility man. Basically, Young is off the field. It is a well known fact that no one really wants to become a designated hitter. See Vlad Guerrero on that topic. Then, Mike Napoli shows up, who will fill a catcher/first base/designated hitter role. Does anyone else see a trend here? Or, if you put your conspiracy theory hat on, maybe they have been setting the table for moving Michael Young?
Regardless of what the Ranger front office intentions or agenda was, they are now in a very awkward position. On the one hand, they have to trade a guy with a very hefty contract remaining, and have no real leverage since that cat is out of the bag. How can you work a deal when the other side knows that you are in a tight box already? On the other hand, if Texas cannot move him, now they have a very disgruntled club house leader that has publicly announced he cannot see himself continuing on with the organization. One thing that was attributed to the Rangers success last season was the unity of the team to themselves and the club. Currently, that cohesion appears to be in danger of disintegrating before spring training even gets underway.
Despite the offensive upgrade that Michael Young would bring to the Angels, I do not see the Covina native heading this direction, and that is a good thing. Lyle Spencer was dead on in his analysis of what Young would bring to the table. His home and away splits expose what most of us know; the Rangers play in a hitter friendly ballpark. You then couple that with his glove, which is average at best. I usually get critiqued for this, but I will take an average, even a below average hitter, for an above average to elite defender. When you add on to this $48 million over three years for a guy already in his mid-thirties and this deal does not look so desirable after all.
So, let us review. The Rangers have an upset club house leader demanding a trade, but he is not really tradable at this point. The end result is a potential team chemistry disaster in the mixing and it is only February. Oh yeah, does Texas have a pitching staff? If I am a Texas fan I am concerned, and as an Angels fan that makes me giddy.
But the most exciting part of this week is the likelihood that I will pull orders returning me to southern California where I will be able to return to my regular routine of attending Angel's games as much as possible.
Fans, it's going to be a good year. Get ready for some baseball.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Epoxy-novolac (EPN) resin was modified by blending with in-house-synthesized 1, 3-bis(maleimido) benzene and 1, 6-bis(maleimido) hexane. These blends were cured with 4, 4'-methylenedianiline. The cure behaviour of these systems was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different blend compositions of bismaleimide (BMI) varied between 5 and 15% by weight. The thermograms indicated a unimodal exothermic peak for blends containing lower percentages of bismaleimide. All the cured blends showed much higher glass transition temperatures (Tg) than that of the host matrix, namely unmodified epoxy-novolac resin. The thermal stability as studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the cured EPN resin was found to improve with BMI blending and varied with the type of BMI. A homogeneous structure of these blends with no phase separation was confirmed both by DSC analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Report: Dallas Police Assistant Chief Daniel Garcia offered Phoenix top cop job
Dallas Police Assistant Chief Daniel Garcia may be the next police chief in Phoenix, according to a local TV news report there.
If Garcia becomes chief there, he would be the latest in a line of commanders to leave the Dallas Police Department in recent months.
Assistant Chief Floyd Simpson left to head the Corpus Christi police force earlier this month.
Deputy Chief Brian Harvey became the chief in Allen earlier this year. And Deputy Chief Craig Miller was hired as the Dallas school district police chief last year.
Garcia was one of six finalists for the Dallas police chief job in 2010. He did not immediately respond to a voicemail and email messages.

Lost AMC Dealerships: Etobicoke, Ontario; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Franklin, Indiana
It's been a while since we've taken the time to explore some old AMC dealerships, and thankfully, we've received materials on a few of them in recent days. We'll start with some circa 1961 photos of Westgrove Rambler-Hillman in the Etobicoke section of Toronto, forwarded to us by Kit Foster, who found them on the City of Toronto Archives website. He also discovered, over at Torontoist.com, that in 1965, the dealership was razed to make way for the Islington subway station that now occupies the northwest corner of Islington and Bloor. Google Maps doesn't have a street view, but Bing Maps has a bird's eye view. There's obviously no mention of Westgrove on the 1983 AMC dealership list, nor does Havekost seem to have a Nash listing that matches Westgrove.
Next, Eddie Stakes sent along copies of a 1973 dealership flyer for Schamberger Rambler in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that he received from a relative of Bill Schamberger.
While AMC worked hard to change image to "new" American Motors thru their dealerships (note 70 style vertical pillar 12 foot sign at driveway, and big horizontal sign on front and above Service bay) many dealerships continued to play on customer brand loyalty and used the Rambler name well into the 1970s as evidenced by this flyer.
Schamberger Motor Company does appear on the Havekost Nash dealership list, with a founding date of 1941 and an address of 2938 First Ave. E. The address on the flyer is 717 Third Ave. SE, and Schamberger doesn't appear at all on the 1983 AMC dealership list. It's difficult to tell what's at the first address (Google Maps, Bing Maps), while the building at the second address (Google Maps, Bing Maps) still seems to be standing, apparently now housing a Salvation Army.
Finally, Ian Webb sent us some final photos of the AMC cars on his family's property before they were all hauled off recently, and on the back of one of those cars – a Matador coupe – we spotted this faded dealership sticker from Haverstick AMC in Franklin, Indiana. Neither Havekost nor the 1983 list mention Haverstick.

What is the gray and white wagon crossing the road in the first thumbnail? And is that a Hilman Husky on the used car lot?
Oops, I see that Westgrove was also a Hillman dealer. so it probably is a husky, duh.
Gray and White Wagon is a 1958 Vauxhall….very rare…even at the time..
My first time driving a car legally on the road, was a 58 Vauxhall…Wow!!!
That wagon certainly looks very similar to Opel wagons of the time; probably a rebadge…?
And, two '59 Ford 2-door wagons. Looong time since I've seen one of those.
I love these street shots, with all the vintage cars in view! Please, I'll have both the Alpine in the dealer lot and the Ford 2 door wagon passing by.
Vauxhalls were sold at some Pontiac dealerships, if I remember correctly. Somewhat like Opels at Buick dealerships in the 60′s and 70′s.
That might make an interesting article — "captive" imports and Euro distribution through other-make dealers. Sorry to hijack the thread, but here are the ones I can think of:
Pontiac and Vauxhall
Buick and Opel
Studebaker-Packard and Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz and DKW/Auto Union (pre-VW)
then later: Chevy LUV by Isuzu, Geo Metro by Suzuki, Geo Prizm by Toyota (!)
various small Dodges by Mitsubishi. Did Ford have any?-
Ford sold the original Capri and Merkur through Mercury dealers in the '70′s and '80′s. In the early '90′s, they revived the Capri name with a small, Australian built and Mazda sourced convertible. Ford Courier compact pickups were also sourced from Mazda. We can't forget about the Ford Fiesta (Germany) and Ford Festiva (Korea). I'm sure someone can fill us in how the German Ford Taunus and British Fords from the '50′s and '60′s were distributed here.
In a bit if a switch, Ford supplied re-trimmed Rangers and Explorers to be sold through Mazda dealers as the B-whatever pickup and the Navajo suv.
Right, thanks, Myron. Funnily enough, today on the road I saw a battered mid-70′s Mazda pickup with "Rotary Power" on the tailgate and the original '74 license plate. Merkur, Capri, and Fiesta were built by Ford in Germany, right? Who built the Festiva? Daewoo? Wasn't the Mercury Cougar Australian-sourced too?
Are you sure the Aussie Capri was Mazda sourced? Or did they deliberately make it bad to help Miata sales? -
Never mind. Festiva was a Mazda DA platform assembled by Mazda for Asia and Australia but assembled under license by Kia for the North American market, according to Wikipedia. Ford owned a chunk of Kia at the time.
Even more Lost AMC dealerships! Keep them coming. That Matador X had to be quite the looker when it was new.
It was sharp even today scott – green/white X stripe with a green interior, 360, buckets with console auto and rally wheels.
My parents had a '62 Rambler Classic that looked a lot like those sedans in the lot (though I think those are '60s or '61s.) You can see them best in the third picture, with the gray Beetle passing by.
Westgrove Rambler was on the north east corner of Bloor & Islington. It's now covered by the Clarica Centre. The Rambler dealership moved east a few blocks to W.A. Mc Dowell (Toronto) Ltd., AMC/Jeep/Renault, 3085 Bloor St. W. at the corner of Thompson Ave. We bought a green Rambler Classic 770 there in 1966.
In a sense/in a way Schamberger Motor still survives in Cedar Rapids! It's Duffy's Collectable Cars! He's the son of Schamberger. It appears when AMC went out they then concentrated on used and collectable cars.
I always thought the Schamberger dealership was in Marion IA. (next to Cedar Rapids) If you note the parts man in the flyer: Walt Kadlec. There was a Les Kadlec Rambler dealership in Cedar Rapids within the last 40 years. Maybe thats where rhe Cedar Rapids adresses come into play. -
The Schamberger building on third avenue still exists and when I passed by the other day it was still a flooring store. The 1st avenue lot was their used car lot in at least the 60′s. One of the McGrath brothers bought the franchise and moved it out to the Corner of Center Point and Collins Road into the former, and fairly new, VW dealership. McGrath still sells Jeeps at that location. One my brother in laws was the Service Manager there. The Marion dealership on 7th Ave was Langhurst AMC. I remember Kadlec auto sales but I don't remember them being a Rambler dealer. Not that they couldn't have been.

I am a first time buyer through Parts Geek and it was an uneventful experience. That was refreshing since I was not sure what to expect from them and had not heard about them before. Check-out was very simple and straight forward with no push for more purchases nor any kind of "live person" follow-up calls to upsell or badger me. Funny thing that I got the best deal straight from the website. I also tried a special deal through one of the coupon finder companies and their reported coupon was actually less of a deal than what was just directly available on the site. I will happily buy again from PartsGeek and refer them for folks looking for good prices on auto parts.
I was very impressed with the speed in which I received my order. It was correct and quick. Also at least 30% less expensive than Autozone.

The Divided Catholics
The Fourth Session
What Happened at Rome? The Council and Its Implications for the Modern World
Pope Paul VI: Apostle on the Move
Just before the Second Vatican Council opened, The New Yorker published a "Letter from Vatican City." This was followed at the close of the session by another equally outspoken article describing and summarizing what had taken place. The measure of the distance we have traveled since then may be gauged by the sensation occasioned both by these articles and by those which Time's Rome correspondent was writing simultaneously.
I know their habits, their next of kin,
But who the hell is Xavier Rynne?
asked Mr. John Cogley, Religion Editor of The New York Times. Speculations about his, her, or their identity gave rise to a spate of closed-circuit jokes of the kind the years render tedious. Once internal evidence had indisputably established that he was not one (or all) of a group of singing nuns it only remained for his readers to assess his reliability as a reporter. And if many have disagreed with his opinions, no one (so far as I know) has questioned the substantial accuracy of his facts. Encouraged by the great interest his work aroused, Mr. Rynne expanded his original articles and had them printed in book form. Subsequent volumes appeared in due course, of which The Fourth Session is the latest, and, naturally, the last. Together they form the only comprehensive history of the Council at present available.
Mr. Rynne's books will not become the standard work on Vatican II because they are written too close to the event to make this possible. They are, however, exceedingly valuable works of reference written by one who not only had access to inside information but has drawn on an astonishing number of commentaries from all over the world.
The Fourth Session follows the same pattern as its predecessors. An account of each meeting is given with reasonably full quotations from speeches. At the end of every chapter the author sets out a summary of the day's proceedings, lists all officers and speakers, and tabulates the votes. The last quarter of the book confines itself to straight documentation. A very full appendix gives the Pope's opening and closing addresses, his speeches at the public session in November, also to the Observers and the United Nations General Assembly. It includes the text of the Motu Proprio which established the Synod of Bishops, the Constitution on Divine Revelation, and the Declaration on Religious Freedom.
Mr. Rynne not only sets the scene but takes us backstage, in one instance giving snatches of a discussion between the members of the Commission set up to revise that awkward Constitution, The Church and the Modern World. The snatches are not in themselves particularly exciting, but they throw light on the way things were done, the pains-taking manner in which a measure of unanimity was achieved, and show us a few moving cogs of a cumbersome machinery ill-adapted to express divergent views.
THE AUTHOR, INDEED, makes no bones about the maneuverings, procedural manipulations, and dishonesties by which the minority attempted to …

Targeted killings away from a "hot" battlefield have provoked controversy. Although there has been some public disclosure, the topic remains murky and opaque. This panel, composed of leading experts, aims to address two key questions: (1) what are the proper legal standards to guide decisions about targeted killing outside a combat zone; and (2) who should be involved in authorizing or reviewing such decisions.

7" or 10" Tablet?
I have a 32gb HP Touchpad that I picked up at the fire sale. I don't like webOS but it works pretty well under Android 4.0/CM9. Nearly everything works, but there are a few things that don't like the camera. Not a huge thing but development does lag on it, and I fear development will slow as newer tabs are released. It is also not expandable, and doesn't get the best battery life. I use it for browsing the web, social media, stream music, video player in waiting rooms, exercise, sometimes at lunch at work, and reading saved websites etc. It's a little big/heavy to read while in bed for a while, I end up resting it on something which doesn't work out too well. I don't use it a ton, but have missed it while it was at HP for the speaker case repair.I am considering selling the Touchpad on ebay to pick up the rumored 7" Google Nexus Tablet soon to be released. Specs on it are looking great, quadcore nvidia processor, 1gb ram, higher res screen than my touchpad, I have not heard much about storage on it, front and rear cameras, and best of all a $200 or less price. This device should be huge in the development community. I love flashing and customizing my devices so this is appealing to me, and worth something more too. Also since its a Nexus it should be updated really quick, and officially by google. I can sell the Touchpad for a decent price, so the costs to upgrade would be minimal. I feel like I should get the touchpad up on the market here quick, since the Google Tablet is going to likely be introduced on June 27th. I am assuming prices on used Touchpads will decrease a bit when this cheap nexus is released. However I am divided, I am wondering if I will miss the extra screen space? I went to the store and looked at some of the other 7" tablets and thought they fit better in my hands than the 10", they were also lighter which was nice. I don't travel a lot so weight is not a big thing to me. I think I would miss it on video but wonder if the increased density would partially make up for it. I can really see the strengths of both sizes but can't justify having both tablets. Which would you choose and why? Is bigger always better? Vague questions receive vague answers . . . . . .
I have been pondering the same thing and took the Polaroid 7" inch tablet from Big Lots for a spin last week. For a cheap $89.99 tablet, I was impressed. Ran everything without a hitch. My only only problem was the low screen resoltion, which is to be expected at that price, so I ended up returning it. I have the ipad, but I could definitely see myself using a 7 inch tablet more often, assuming it has a high quality screen. I've already decided to keep the ipad, but will probably pull the trigger on the new Google tablet, if the rumored specs and price are true.
You already know where I stand, that you should keep the TP, even if you buy a 7 incher, but my opinion aside, let's say the decision is made, one or the other, this Google tablet looks very nice and the price is a joke, so the worst thing that could happen to you is that you miss a 10 incher so much that you land up buying one in the future, and prices are constantly coming down, while power and features go up, so it's not like you'd lose anything, specially if you can get $200 for your TP.
Heck, I might even buy a Nexus too, just to not have to carry my 10 incher in my hand. I like the idea of sticking it in my pocket and having it wherever I go. If you're on this ignore list, vivahate, sd44, cav, charles052, frogstar, godfather927 don't bother quoting me
Keep the TP and add a 7".
I have the TP and a rooted NC. The wife has the kindle fire. Sometimes you can't beat the 7" form factor esp since its lighter to tote around. If I did not get the Nook Color a long time ago, the HTC Flyer would be my 7" tablet of choice or you can wait for the new offerings coming out soon. I say each size has its own fun factor. |
I prefer my 7" tablet for most things. The only time I have ever wished for a larger tablet was when I was watching several widescreen movies on a flight. A larger form factor is much nicer for that.
Biggest issue on the 10" is that you can't hold it in portrait mode and manage to hit all of the keys on the keyboard. A 10" requires you to cradel or hold it in one hand then type one handed, or to put it down flat and type, which is a pain to see. Some magazines and comics are made with the thought of a 10" view size (thanks to the dominant ipad format). I only noticed this in a few comics where I had to scroll around and view each page in 2 attempts essentially. The 7" tablet also fits in my back pocket when I walk around. This may not matter since you mentioned you wouldn't travel with it. Back pocket convenience is great when you go to run errands. Much better than carrying around a man-purse for everything. |
When you have to go for a tabet, bigger display is always better. You cannot carry a tablet in your pocket, so it wont make a difference whether it is 7" or 10" Kindle user wants an iPad, iPad user doesn't want a kindle.
A billion Chinese can't be wrong: eat rice.

Symmetric warp field

Revision as of 10:43, December 10, 2012 by Archer4real (Talk | contribs)
A symmetric warp field was a type of warp field. Starfleet taught the utilization of this type of field in the Advanced Subspace Geometry course at Starfleet Academy.
In 2374, Tom Paris suggested using this technique on an unstable overloading Benthan coaxial warp drive. The field, when extended around the ship, halted the instabilities of the space folding core and allowed it to power down. (VOY: "Vis à Vis")

Notification Weirdness on Jellybean
I can't seem to turn off audible notifications for the stock email client on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android version 4.1.1. I have successfully turned them off for the GMail client, but I need to use both clients (stock client for work email and Gmail client for personal). I get a lot of work email traffic, so I am getting dozens of notifications each hour. Very tedious.
I can of course mute the phone but then I won't hear incoming calls, text message notifications, or calendar reminders. What am I missing?
AndroidSettings > Sound >
AndroidSettings > ApplicationManager > Email
Show Notifications is ON (but the checkbox is greyed out, I cannot seem to change it)
Email > Settings > GeneralPreferences
Email notifications is OFF
Select ringtone is SILENT (shouldn't matter since notifications are off)

Re: Notification Weirdness on Jellybean
I only use gmail, so, I can't go into the email app and check any settings, but, if it's greyed out, you would think that the box was tied to something else in the settings. And, that it only becomes accessible when some other options is either selected or deselected.
Both the options you listed look like options for the stock email app. Is that one still making noise? Or are you just having problem with Gmail? - 11-14-2012, 09:43 AM #3
Re: Notification Weirdness on Jellybean
You have to look in the other menu under general settings in the settings menu, the box that has you email address will bring the notifications and sync menus up.

Father allegedly beat teen daughter using vehicle fan belt
Kansas City police arrested a man Wednesday night after he allegedly beat his teenage daughter with his fists and a vehicle fan belt.
Police reports gave this account:
The 15-year-old girl arrived home in the 1300 block of Highland Avenue about 9 p.m., and her father asked her where she had been. He allegedly slammed her to the floor and told the girl's mother to "grab the belt." The woman fetched the belt, and the father allegedly used it to hit the girl 10 times, causing welts to both arms. He then allegedly punched her in the face several times.
The victim told police she tried without success to restrain her father's hands so he could not hit her. He then allegedly choked her, but she did not lose consciousness.
The father told the girl to take him to the place where she had been that night. They drove around looking for the home, but the girl said she could not remember the address, so her father allegedly punched her face, causing a scratch. When they arrived back home, the father allegedly threw her to the floor and began to hit her. A witness pulled him off her, and the girl locked herself in a bathroom until police arrived.
The girl's parents do not speak English, police said.
The 47-year-old father told police, through a translator, that he was angry his daughter returned home late and that he had slapped her face four times. The girl's mother told police through the translator that the girl fell into a refrigerator. The witness initially said he had to pull the father off the girl but later said he did not see anything.
Jackson County prosecutors on Thursday were reviewing the police file.

Bishop starts online petition vs mining project
MANILA, Philippines—A Catholic bishop has initiated an online petition urging President Benigno Aquino III to cancel permits allowing a mining company to operate the country's largest copper and gold mining project in Tampakan town, South Cotabato province.
So far, the online petition that Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo started on Change.org has gathered more than 9,000 signatures.
"This proves that a great portion of the online community understands the dangers of mining, especially the one in Tampakan," Pabillo said in a statement.
"Malacañang should stop the Tampakan mining project or at least answer our arguments against it," he said.
In February, the controversial $5.9-billion Tampakan copper-gold project of Swiss firm Xstrata and its local unit, Sagittarius Mining Inc., was granted an environmental compliance certificate, one of the requirements for operation.
The project was earlier halted after the adoption of a provincial ordinance that banned open-pit mining in South Cotabato.
In his petition, Pabillo, who heads the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines National Secretariat for Social Action, cited several reasons why people should sign the petition and why the government must stop the project.
Pabillo pointed out that the mining project will displace 5,000 B'laans from their ancestral lands and destroy some 4,000 hectares of lush rain forest.
"[T]hat said, up to 800,000 trees will be cut, putting hundreds of towns at higher risk of flash floods and landslides," he said.

The News-Herald (
Browns: John Greco signs five-year contract extension
By Jeff Schudel
Tuesday, July 23, 2013
The Browns signed John Greco, one of three players fighting for a starting job at guard, to a five-year contract extension on Tuesday.
"John is a solid, all-around teammate, on and off the field," Coach Rob Chudzinski said. "He was given an opportunity to play last year and really showed well. He's respected in the locker room for his approach, consistency and team-first attitude."
The extension locks up Greco, 6-foot-4, 315 pounds, through 2017. He played in 14 games last year, with 10 starts at left guard. Greco, Shawn Lauvao and Jason Pinkston will be in a three-way battle for both starting guard positions when training camp opens on Thursday.
"I really wasn't expecting it," Greco said on a conference call. "My focus was to come in, have a good camp and be one of the starters -- contract stuff would take care of itself after the season. But the Browns approached me the other night, and I'm happy we got something worked out."
Greco has played three years with the Rams and two with the Browns. The teams he played on had a combined record of 19-61 over five years.
He says he is tired of losing and sees signs the Browns are ready to climb out of the rut.
"I could tell this team and this city is ready for an exciting year, and I'm just happy I get to be a part of it," Greco said. "The leaders in the locker room and the guys that have been on winning teams are trying to bring that mindset to Cleveland. Even some of the younger players that are now maturing and have made some plays and know how to conduct themselves on and off the field, you can tell it's ripe for a push to win some games. You can tell that's the attitude going into camp."ĀĀ
Greco is valuable because he can play any of the five positions on the line. He was a third-round draft pick by the Rams in 2008. The Browns acquired him from the Rams in 2011 without giving up anything in return.
"One of our goals," said CEO Joe Banner, "is whenever possible to develop and keep our own players. We're glad in this case that it worked out and was mutually beneficial."
In other news, the Browns signed free agent wide receiver Naaman Roosevelt. The third-year player from the University at Buffalo has played in 16 games, all with the Bills, after making the Bills' roster as an undrafted rookie in 2010. He has 25 career receptions for 396 yards and one touchdown. He caught 16 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown in 2011.

Flicker of hope for pipe smoking in Toronto
When you think of pipe smokers, images arise of Hugh Hefner or Sherlock Holmes, or urbane college professors and upper-crust Englishmen who wear ascots and play chess.

When you think of pipe smokers, images arise of Hugh Hefner or Sherlock Holmes, or urbane college professors and upper-crust Englishmen who wear ascots and play chess.
The image carries tones of sophistication and intelligence, if not downright eccentricity. It's now a symbol of a bygone era, something your grandfather did.
In a bid to ward off extinction, a loose-knit group of pipe smokers in Toronto formed the Downtown Toronto Pipe Club in 2006, but it's gone underground to avoid running afoul of Ontario smoking legislation.
Without an outdoor place to meet, co-founder Mike Kennedy has opened up his Toronto residence to limited meetings whenever his wife agrees to leave for the evening.
He and co-founder Eric Mathurin put up a website and soon attracted a mailing list of 70 people and about two dozen come out at least once to a "smoker."
The group mainly consists of mostly men between the ages of 25 and 35 who are trying to revive the pipe habit.
"It's really an eclectic group," Mathurin says. "We have artists, craftsmen, IT and other professionals and even a sailor, a neurosurgeon and a school principal."
In early December, they met at Kennedy's studio apartment on Niagara St. for a year-end bash.
For the occasion, Kennedy made some cookies the night before and others brought over butter tarts. And of course, there was alcohol involved.
Members came bearing all sorts of pipes ranging from $25 to $175, with all kinds of tobacco blends.
The conversation was light, just as was the aroma from the pipes. While sipping Scotch, bourbon and beer, the gang mingled with each and exchanged information about blends.
"This club is really informal. There's no official business discussed," said Kennedy, the co-founder.
It was much like a wine-tasting event, except there were pipes and the room soon filled with clouds of pipe smoke.
Aficionados say pipe smoking isn't demonized to the same degree as cigarettes or cigars in the public domain.
Stefan Seles, who is an avid collector, says the reaction he often hears from other non-smokers is "that smells wonderful," or "my uncle or grandfather used to smoke a pipe."
Pipe smoking is a studied art, and they were all very good at it.
At novice at this, this reporter was offered a pipe and tried to smoke with mixed results. Unlike smoking a cigar or cigarette, there is a knack involved, from knowing how to stuff the pipe to knowing when to tamp it down to relight.
"You don't inhale, you just let the smoke roll around in the mouth before exhaling," co-founder Mathurin says.
Michael Parks makes his living making hand-crafted Briar pipes from a shop in Bowmanville. There's not much of a market for his pipes in Canada, so he sells mostly to the United States.
"I've sold a pipe in a custom-crafted box for $8,500," he says.
Every year, some of them travel to Chicago where they meet up with other like-minded pipe aficionados at one of the biggest pipe conventions in North America.
Says Mathurin: "There has been a lot of focus on tobacco micro-blends and quality, hand-made pipes."
But he does not anticipate a true renaissance of pipe smokers.
"In the long run, I think it will become the hobby of fewer and fewer people," he says.
Inside the Royal York Hotel, one of the world's premier pipesmiths still makes hand-crafted pipes for a niche clientele.
Julius Vesz, now 77, has been at the Royal York for 28 years and has made and sold pipes for such distinguished people as Gerald Ford, Anwar Sadat and Bing Crosby.
But business is bad. He blames smoking laws and the cost of tobacco.
A pound of pipe tobacco in Canada costs about $200, he says, while in you can buy it in Buffalo for $25.
"I'm losing business every day," Vesz says, adding that if it weren't for sales of his miniature military toys, he would be long gone. Most of his sales are made internationally through his website.
Yet he wants to hang on.
"As long as I can make a few extra bucks and people still want my work, I will stay."

For Transatlantic Trade, This Time Is Different
Why the Latest U.S.-EU Trade Talks Are Likely to Succeed
TYSON BARKER is the director of transatlantic relations at the Bertelsmann Foundation.
See more by this authorIn his State of the Union address two weeks ago, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that Washington would launch negotiations with the European Union this year on a comprehensive venture called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Negotiators in the United States and Europe aspire to make the TTIP the most advanced economic agreement in the world, and any deal will likely go beyond the most basic aspect of free trade -- namely, the elimination of tariffs. More broadly, Europe and the United States can be expected to align their regulations regarding manufacturing and services such as finance and telecommunications. The deal would also address new frontiers of economic growth, including the U.S. shale gas market and online intellectual property. They also hope to eliminate almost all barriers to foreign direct investment.
The elimination of tariffs alone, which average out to four percent on goods traded between the United States and Europe, could remove a $24 billion impediment to transatlantic trade. Beyond free trade, however, the real gains from the deal would come from regulatory cooperation. Transatlantic business would flourish, for example, if German cars that passed safety inspections in Stuttgart also met standards appropriate for U.S. drivers, if drugs and medical devices designed in one market could be sold to consumers in the other more quickly, and if smart-phone plugs built for both markets would be interoperable. In the highly regulated areas of advanced manufacturing and services, the backbone of the U.S. and European economies, streamlining business would give each side a huge boost in competitiveness.
