The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
02 Aug 2011 10:23 GMT | Politics, Pakistan, United Kingdom
As the son of former chief minister, Farooq Abdullah, and the grandson of the first prime minister of Kashmir, Sheikh Abdullah, Omar comes from an iconic family. Born in 1970 in the UK, Abdullah became the youngest chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir in 2009, after he had served as a union minister of state for external affairs in Atal Bihari Vajpayee's NDA government.At 38, Abdullah's achievement was notable, particularly in a culture of slow political turnover.Abdullah looked to alter the dysfunctional civil service, tainted by two decades of volatility, and sought to usher Kashmir into the new global economy by encouraging trade and investment and addressing Kashmir's neglected power needs.His meeting, with Pervez Musharraf, the then Pakistani president, in 2006 - the first such meeting between a mainstream Kashmiri politician and a Pakistani head of state - is said to have emphasised his ambition to resolve the dispute.
But Abdullah has been accused of lacking charisma and having an understated, hands-off approach and, since taking office, his reputation has been damaged as a result of a perceived rise in human rights violations under his watch.
Activists allege excessive use of the Public Safety Act (PSA), which allows suspects as young as 16 to be arrested and detained without charge.Criticism has also been levelled at the chief minister and state government for using excessive force during the protests of 2010. Around 117 people, mostly young men, died when demonstrations turned violent with police firing birdshot pellets, as well as live ammunition, into crowds of stone-pelting protesters. A crackdown on young protesters culminated in the arrest of hundreds of others.There has also been much criticism of the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), which some say gives impunity to armed forces operating in the valley. Although Abdullah has set up two committees to review the AFSPA, he told Tehelka magazineon July 31, 2011, that it is unlikely that act would be revoked."If you are going to tell me militancy is the lowest it has been in 21 years, then people expect some sort of a peace dividend. And we should be willing to give it to them," he said.While Abdullah has battled to shed his image as a pawn of New Delhi, his detractors argue that since taking office he has toned down his rhetoric and been unable to prioritise the needs of Kashmiris.At the same time, Abdullah has emphasised infrastructural development as the key driver of his vision for Kashmir's future, signalling his intention for the state to 'catch-up' with changing times.As a young, tech savvy politician, Abdullah can be found tweeting on politics, sport and the like on twitter, much to the ire of some of his colleagues.

Jones Snowboards / Workbook 2013-2014
Download: http://goo.gl/IfsEsw
2013/14 DEALER WORKBOOK Photo by Jeremy Photo by Figenshau The Space Needle Wrangell St. Elias, AK. April 28, 2012 8:37 p.m. Some moments in life stand out from the rest. These moments are forged in such euphoric satisfaction that the experience could have only come from a lifetime of commitment and dedication. Millions of interconnected details and explicit decisions must align to create these moments. You can not plan when these moments will go down. Your only option is to be ready. When the moment arrives, you draw from all the good and bad lessons you've learned in life and every ounce of mental and physical strength you have to perform your best. Stepping on a skateboard for the first time as a kid; Visiting my brothers in Jackson Hole at 16; Getting the nod to fill an extra seat for a film crew in 1993; Deciding to post up for a month at a nearby cirque of spines. All of these milestones led to the moment you see on this page. Just like dropping into a dream line demands thousands of small steps, making dream snowboards requires equal dedication. Jones Snowboards are a mirror image of the commitment I have put into the mountains and designing the splitboard I rode down the Space Needle took a parallel course to my riding. My passion for shredding serious lines and developing the cutting edge gear I need to make it happen are one and the same. Moments like the Space Needle show me that I am tapped into the mountains on a level that I have never experienced before. The 2014 collection gives me the same feeling about our snowboards. After four years of tweaking and obsessing over our designs, we are starting to hit our stride. These boards are my ultimate freeride quiver, built from and for these magical moments in the mountains that define our lives. Go find your moment...shred it to pieces. Photo by Jeff Hawe JONES SNOWBOARDS 101 CAMBER & SHAPE: DIRECTIONAL ROCKER MELLOW MAGNE-TRACTION the nuts and bolts CORES: FULL WOOD CORES A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and slight camber between the bindings. The rockered tip gives the nose added float and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot gives you added edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch. "My experience is that most falls in freeriding start from the nose of the board – you either go over the bars in powder, the nose gets caught under a weird crust and tosses you, or you hit a hard tranny at the contact point of the tip and get bucked. Directional Rocker eliminates most of these falls. - Jeremy Jones CAMROCK Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Magne-Traction improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. "Magne-Traction is a key ingredient for rockered board designs. Adding rocker to your board makes it glide more smoothly, but it makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Magne-Traction is crucial to offset the drift typical of rocker flex patterns." - Jeremy Jones BLUNT NOSE All Jones boards feature full tip-to-tail wood cores FSC WOOD CORE The FSC wood cores come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. ALL of our cores are FSC. HARD CORE - Poplar/Beech Jones' signature core, the Hard Core is a hybrid wood core designed for the ultimate pop, power transfer and durability. Featherweight Poplar stringers in the middle of the core are framed with bulletproof Beech stringers under the edges to produce a core that combines the snappy, even flex of Poplar with the damp, responsive benefits of Beech. Framing the sides of the core in the Beech hardwood creates unparalleled energy transfer to your edge and helps protect the board from harsh side impacts. CLASSIC CORE - Poplar A unique rocker/camber flex pattern defined by evenly balanced tip and tail rocker and slight camber between the bindings. CAMROCK improves freestyle finesse by keeping your tips playful while maintaining the power and pop of camber underfoot. 3D POWER CAMBER Traditional Nose vs Blunt Nose "How a board glides in powder, crust, corn, or any snow condition more then an inch deep is dictated by its front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer board tip without the added length or swing weight." - Jeremy Jones An innovative traditional camber profile tweaked to offer the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The board profile crosses over into the third dimension as the base is beveled up at the edges from the contact points of the camber to the ends of the board. The base beveling releases the edges where they like to hook which balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel. The Classic Core is a high-performance wood core designed for buttery board feel, crazy pop and predictable flex. Featherweight Poplar stringers run tip to tail in the Classic Core providing maximum weight savings and delivering snappy, even response. LAMINATES: CARBON QUADRAX BASE MATERIALS: SINTERED BASE ALU PROTECT Jones' signature laminate composition, Carbon Quadrax features multi-layered, multi-axis fiberglass meshed with dual-zone carbon fiber power bands. The carbon power bands in the nose and tail dampen vibrations and create supreme longitudinal and torsional snap which keeps the board stable at high speeds and on steep terrain. CARBON TOPSHEET Fastest natural base material available. Durable, more resistant to impact, absorbs wax faster and retains wax longer. FLIP FLOP BASE State of the art strength aluminum tip protectors. Elastomer is bonded to the aluminum to absorb vibrations. STRONGER EDGES By flip flopping the base graphic colors, P-Tex waste is drastically reduced by increasing the material yield. RECYCLED BASE P-Tex scraps are recycled into new bases. We added 35% more steel than a typical edge, what this achieves is a 250% increase in impact resistance compared to other edges offered on the market today. KARAKORAM HARDWARE The bi-directional Carbon Topsheet is the pinnacle technology behind the ultraresponsive Jones carbon series boards. No other topsheet material on earth offers equal dampening, stiffness and torsional rigidity as carbon fiber. This is the secret sauce that gives the Carbon Flagship and Carbon Solution the horsepower and handling of a Formula One car. CARBON STRINGERS All Jones Splitboards exclusively feature Karakoram Hardware OTHER FEATURES: WOOD TOPSHEET Carbon stringers are added to select models to improve pop and torsional stiffness and increase the longevity of the flex profile. This lightweight layer helps the board perform the same on day 100 as it did on day one - precise and playful. TRIAX The Wood Topsheet dampens the ride for chatter-free performance. The natural material also eliminates some plastic and lacquer which cuts down on waste and weight. FILM TOPSHEET A thin piece of film replaces the traditional plastic topsheet. This eliminates plastic and reduces the weight of the board. STONE GROUND FINISH FACTORY TUNED This light - weight, multi axis, stitched fiberglass laminate provides torsional stiffness, pop and response for a precise controlled ride in a multitude of terrain and snow conditions. BIAX All Jones Snowboards are factory tuned, detuned at the tip and tail and factory waxed so you can go from the shop right to the hill RECYCLED ABS SIDEWALLS All Jones boards feature recycled ABS sidewall material Is a dual direction, dual layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun and forgiving ride due to its tensile strength, reliability and snappy response. Ryland Bell is both in love and afraid of the carbon series. He fears the carbon boards as he knows how fast they can go but he worships them because they can pull it off. Wrangell St. Elias, AK. Photo by Jeff Hawe. CARBON SERIES only for the expert freerider Warning! The Carbon Series boards are not to be underestimated.They are not toys...or at least not toys for everyone. The Carbon Flagship and Solution are the ultimate professional freeride boards designed by Jeremy and the team riders to be cold-hearted line killers. Expert freeriders with deft skills and confidence at face-melting speeds are in for the ride of their life on the Carbon series. But seriously, you better hold on tight! These stiff, hyper-responsive boards perform best at top speed. If you're a big line bounty hunter like Boba Fett, look no further than these next-level shred sticks. Otherwise, these are not the droids you're looking for. CARBON FLAGSHIP The Carbon Flagship is a freeride scalpel capable of surgical precision on the rowdiest lines around. Whether inbounds or out, it crushes terrain with a confidence underfoot unlike anything you've ever experienced. The carbon topsheet and specially positioned carbon stringers combine to produce a light and lively board that's stupid fast edge-to-edge, yet damp as your footbeds after a day shredding bell to bell. 158 161 164 163W 168W CARBON SOLUTION The Carbon Solution splitboard is the trophy truck of the backcountry. It makes mandatory moves child's play and chews chunder to bits. Your legs will notice the lightweight and forgiving ride both up and down as the carbon topsheet and stringers absorb the chatter of uneven terrain leaving you more energy to put back into the mission.

FLAGSHIP legend in it's own time Ideal for Freeriding and Fall-Line Freestyle After four years of first descents and 100-day seasons from Squaw Valley to Verbier, the Flagship is widely regarded as one of the finest freeride boards on the planet. The Flagship's now-legendary reputation comes as no surprise to Jeremy Jones. Jeremy has spent the last two decades perfecting this rhino chaser design that's as powerful as it is responsive. Coveted for it's stability at speed and wall crawling edge grip, the Flagship will hit mach-speed without fluttering your heart beat thanks to the mellow Magne-Traction, directional rocker and camber underfoot. The Flagship's ash-wood topsheet is also a game-changer as it provides a lively but damp board feel that's big on pop and solid on landing. This board was born to go fast, so watch out speed racer. It's not our fault if you get your pass pulled for straightlining on the Flagship.

SOLUTION explore with no sacrifices Ideal for Backcountry Freeriding & Wilderness Exploration You wanna explore "Deeper" into your backyard? How about chasing "Further" into the wilderness? Well then, strap into the splitboard that Jeremy, Forrest and Ryland tested day-in day-out filming these two epic movies. The Solution splitboard is a backcountry chariot designed to charge up-and-down without sacrificing board performance when the terrain gets dicey. It's the identical split twin to the Flagship and is equally sought after because of features like the inner and outer edge Mellow Magne-Traction and the directional rocker profile matched with positive camber underfoot. The blunt nose on the Solution also adds awesome float and a legit tail makes it easy to stomp around riding switch. If your backcountry plans for the season demand nothing less than the ultimate all-conditions splitty, there is only one Solution for what you deserve in a splitboard.

Your new war plane is waiting in the hangar. Built for speed and flight, the Aviator is a high-performance directional freestyle board for riders that rail carves and boost big in all-conditions. The nimble handling and supersonic acceleration of the Aviator result from the new 3D Power Camber profile. 3D Power Camber is an innovative positive camber profile that offers the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The board profile crosses over into the third dimension as the base is beveled up at the edges from the contact points of the camber to the ends of the board. The 3D base beveling releases the edges where they like to hook, which balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel. Whether your flight plan includes cliff drops or stacked park jumps, the Aviator is lightning fast edge to edge and designed to inspire confident take-offs and graceful landings. 152 1 3D POWER CAMBER MELLOW MAGNE-TRACTION BLUNT NOSE FSC WOOD CORE HARD CORE TRIAX CARBON STRINGERS SINTERED BASE FLIP FLOP BASE FILM TOPSHEET STRONGER EDGES STONE GROUND INSERTS FULL CAMBER INSERTS TAIL NOSE "THIRD DIMENSION" . 2 BEVELED BASE . 2 BEVELED BASE STANDARD FLAT BASE 156 160 160W 164 When you stomp every air your riding speaks for itself.

MOUNTAIN TWIN freestyler with a freeride habit Ideal for Backcountry Freestyle & Resort Radness The award-winning Mountain Twin may have a pretty face, but it hasn't collected accolades the world over for it's gorgeous graphics. This all-mountain charger is coveted and celebrated because it's freakin' ridiculously fun to ride. As playful as it is powerful, the Mountain Twin is a directional freestyle board with a freeride heart. It's designed to shred the entire mountain like it's your own personal skate park without sacrificing high-speed, linebombing stability. Early rise tip and tail give the Mountain Twin float and finesse in soft snow, while camber underfoot combined with Mellow Magne-Traction give the Mountain Twin snap and hold on hard pack. Backcountry freestylers like Alex Yoder ride the Mountain Twin 24/7 which is why we also offer it as a splitboard. Artwork by snowboarding legend, Bryan Iguchi.

When your pow board is an all-terrain, all-conditions battle axe like the Hovercraft. Blower, crud or crust are no match for the trim and explosive Hovercraft as it floats through it all without sacrificing maneuverability. The blunt nose and directional rocker of the Hovercraft keep you partying in the pow, while the stiff tail and Mellow Magne-Traction lock in stability when the fresh tracks are gone. For catchfree slashing, the base along the tail edges is beveled up for more playful control. There is a good reason why you'll catch Jeremy Jones riding the Hovercraft or the Hovercraft Split on more days than not. You can float, air it out and run it out all on the same rocket that makes effortless turns. Because the stubby Hovercraft packs so much float in such a small package, it's designed to be sized 6-8 cm shorter than your average board. 152 156 160 164 NEW! 152 156 160 DIRECTIONAL ROCKER MELLOW MAGNE-TRACTION BLUNT NOSE FSC WOOD CORE CLASSIC CORE BIAX SINTERED BASE FLIP FLOP BASE WOOD TOPSHEET STRONGER EDGES ALU PROTECT (SPLIT ONLY) KORAKORAM HARDWARE (SPLIT ONLY) INSERTS INSERTS TAIL CAMBER UNDER FOOT ROCKER NOSE WOMEN'S SERIES For the Freeride Revolution Lady rippers are setting backcountry bootpacks and charging radical lines more than ever before. Jones Snowboards is lock step with this female freeride revolution as we offer a stacked line-up of women's specific boards that are built to shred every bit as hard as our men's models. The dimensions and flex specs of the women's series are simply customized for lighter and smaller riders using the same bomber materials and cutting edge construction. Serious lady powder hounds take note that we've added a Women's Hovercraft to the quiver for 2014. Expedition backcountry snowboarding demands a serious skill set.

nVidia is at it again!!! Raise FPS and lower IQ! AquaMark3 & Det.50 compared

They obviously are replacing shaders with Fixed Function as many times as possible.
I just dont understand the angle some of you guys take on these issues. Especially some of you with programming exprience Because you know darn well whats being done here.
I am Still Curious how the Two score so closely together at all. Aquamark is obviously using _PP hints in there base code already. Which as we have seen does not make up entirely for the Difference in performance. You will still see some nice looking HDR effects even at FP16.
What is happening here is they (Nvidia) are Replacing shaders in AQ3 with PS1.4 created shaders. Something they plainly said they were going to use in there Rebuttle to HL2.
Which is why i say any comparrison between ATi and Nvidia with Det50's are Completely invalid. As the Game will be Reporting Max Features, Or DX9 opr whatever but Nvidia is using PS1.4 all over the place. If the game is not reporting some kind of Mixed mode resut then what you ahve is not Driver Optimization.
But outright Fraud.

PGA Tour of Australasia Adds New Caledonia Event Through 2015
July 4 (Bloomberg) -- The PGA Tour of Australasia added an event in New Caledonia to its schedule through 2015, taking the golf circuit to the French territory for the first time.
The inaugural South Pacific Golf Open Championship is scheduled for Sept. 14-17 at Tina Golf Club in Noumea, the capital of the nation of about 256,000 people. It will be fully sanctioned and count toward the Order of Merit, the Tour said.
The winner will also gain a berth at the Australasian tour's biggest events including the Australian Open, Australian PGA Championship, New Zealand Open and Australian Masters.
"The elevation of this event to the PGA Tour of Australasia means a lot to us," Tournament Director Patrick Koch said in an e-mailed statement. "Hopefully this will be the start of something big."
The par-72 Tina Golf Club, whose 5,889 meters are laid out through mangrove plantations, is one of three 18-hole golf courses in New Caledonia.

EnerNOC Signs Contract With Tennessee Valley Authority
EnerNOC, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENOC), a leading developer and provider of clean and intelligent energy solutions, today announced that it has signed a contract with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to provide a minimum of 110 megawatts (MW) of demand response capacity. The program will initially target commercial and industrial customers of four power distributors within the seven-state TVA service area: Memphis Light, Gas and Water; Nashville Electric Service; Knoxville Utilities Board; and Huntsville Utilities. The contract, which is part of TVA's recently-announced energy efficiency and demand response plan, follows a successful demand response program between EnerNOC and TVA last summer, during which EnerNOC quickly and reliably delivered demand response capacity where and when needed.
"Our customers valued last summer's demand response program," said Jim Purcell, Energy Services Manager at Nashville Electric Service (NES). "In partnership with TVA and NES, EnerNOC is delivering a valuable service which saves customers on their electricity bill, and we are happy to see the program continue."
Tim Walker, Customer Relations Superintendent at Huntsville Utilities, emphasized that "customers value the savings and want access to their electricity consumption data in near real-time through EnerNOC's software, PowerTrak."
TVA has a peak demand of approximately 33,500 MW, greater than that of New England or Ontario. During the record breaking heat wave of 2007, TVA purchased as much as 20 percent of its energy from other suppliers. Demand response and energy efficiency are cost-effective alternatives for meeting future energy needs and are part of TVA's comprehensive program to reduce peak demand, reliably meet growing energy needs, and arm ratepayers with the tools and resources they need to be better energy consumers.
EnerNOC was selected by TVA in part because of its ability to deliver demand response capacity within five minutes of notification. EnerNOC's patented systems for automated curtailment enable it to remotely manage thousands of end-user sites from its Network Operations Center (NOC) in Boston, MA. Last summer, EnerNOC delivered greater than 101 percent average performance over six TVA-dispatched demand response events.
"We laid the groundwork last summer for a successful deployment with TVA," said EnerNOC Chairman and CEO, Tim Healy. "We believe that our technology provides us with a distinct advantage and the ability to meet the complex requirements of demanding markets, like TVA. This contract represents another great opportunity for us to showcase the positive impact of demand response both for utilities and ratepayers."
EnerNOC is currently recruiting commercial, institutional, and industrial customers throughout the Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville and Huntsville, AL areas to take part in this opportunity and become part of EnerNOC's demand response network. In return for agreeing to reduce non-essential electricity usage during times of peak demand, customers have the ability to receive periodic payments for being "on call" throughout the year, as well as additional payments based on delivered energy reductions during events. To learn more or to inquire about becoming part of EnerNOC's demand response network, please email email@example.com, with the subject line "TVA."
This contract is effective immediately and is not subject to additional regulatory approval.

TVA provides power to large industries and 159 power distributors that serve approximately 8.8 million consumers in seven southeastern states. TVA also manages the Tennessee River and its tributaries to provide multiple benefits, including flood damage reduction, navigation, water quality and recreation.

A joint team of the National Investigation Agency and the National Security Guard's bomb detection and disposal squad from New Delhi landed in a special flight in Patna around 6.30 p.m., hours after the series of explosions.
The team comprised three officers of the rank of Deputy Inspector-General and a Superintendent of Police.
President Pranab Mukherjee condemned the explosions and conveyed his condolences to the families of the deceased and prayers for full recovery of the injured.
Manmohan's appeal
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed his deep concern and called for urgent steps to act against those responsible for the blasts. He appealed to people to maintain peace and calm. He spoke to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and assured him of all Central assistance in the investigation.
A senior NIA officer said: "We are told that the local police have arrested at least one man… While the probe at this stage will be carried out by the Patna police, our job will be to minutely study the… sites. It will also help us probe the case effectively if it is handed over to us later,"
The NSG will collect evidence from the sites. Explosive experts will also examine four unexploded devices found at two places on Gandhi Maidan, the venue of the rally.

Need a Surveyor Wis/Ill border of Lake Michigan
We are needing a survey to get insurance and we are located at Winthrop Harbor IL. I can reach Kenosha with my pitching wedge from where she sits.
I can get a surveyor out there in a couple weeks but we are hoping to find one for this week. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
Jack & Penny
Re: Need a Surveyor Wis/Ill border of Lake Michigan
The boat is a 1981 so because its over 30 years, and in order to get a replacement value a survey is needed to authentic the value of the boat. The wife has checked BoatUS, Hagertys, and a couple others. I would consider getting a policy for the short duration left for this year if I could forego the survey and get lesser coverage. Any suggestions on companies that will insure without a survey would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the post..
Re: Need a Surveyor Wis/Ill border of Lake Michigan
Can't speak for short notice availability, but we used Ebb Tide Services (Robert Snow) for a survey out of Waukegan Harbor. I think we actually lined him up last Fall with about 6-7 days notice. Google his website and you'll get his cell phone number.

The Face of Russia: Anguish, Aspiration, and Achievement in Russian Culture
This book is similar in approach to the better known heaven and Hell by Bruce Lincoln. However, Billington concentartes more on the art and includes a beautiful section of plates. Unlike Lincoln's book, it is easily approached and is a reasonable 260 pages. Billington shows the connections between Russia's spiritual, historical and political traditions have played a direct role in defining its cultural and artistic production.

Not a big fan of tying the fenders to the lifelines. That can put a lot of strain on the stanchions, should a fender get caught under a dock or such... and damage the stanchions or lifelines. You're generally much better off installing specific hard-points for the fenders, or using the base of cleats and stanchions to tie them to. This way, they can't damage anything if they do get caught.

In addition I can slide the line taunt when sailing and the fender is off the hull, off the deck and imediately available if needed. No need for those extra wire holders. Must keep it clear of any of the Jib sheets however, so some experiment is needed. As for covers...don't use them, find they mold and mildew and end up being more to clean.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

LCARS Shipyard Mobile
1,000 - 5,000 downloads
Also in : HikingAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
This app is a starship database containing schematics and technical data on 50+ classes of star ship found in the Star Trek television series (TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, ENT) and the movies. These include ships from the Federation, Starfleet, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Empire, the Cardassians, the Dominion, the Bajoran Militia and the Maquis; with more being added in future updates!!!
This app was designed to imitate the look and feel of the Library Computer Access Retrieval System or " LCARS " interface from the popular sci-fi TV series and movies, just to make it that bit more fun to use, and to scream "I am Trekkie, hear me ROAR!"
The app has a number of sound features (all of which can be enabled or disabled in the settings menu) including touchscreen response beeps, computer style voice prompts and the ability to play a constant warp-core hum noise in the background.
The warpcore hum noise can even be used in your Android system while the app is in the background if you press your Home button instead of exiting the app. That way, you can carry on surfing the web to the soothing sound of a class 9 warp drive running inside your Android! You can even leave it running on your bedside table at night and see what it would be like to sleep on a starship! True trekkie white noise.
You can also take a screen shot of any of the ships you see in the database, so you can save them to your SD cards to be used as backgrounds, backed up to the cloud, or shared with Google+, Facebook, Twitter, etc. - wherever you share!
Note: You can also disable screen shots in the settings to remove the save icon in the top left of the ship database while you are not using it, that way it wont intrude on the display and spoil the LCARS styling.
We will soon also be offering a template and some resources on our developer website which will enable you, the fans, to be able to design and submit your own additions to the ship database, subject to guidelines and selection process.
The approved user submissions will be included in the app in future updates!
***As with any app on Google Play, ratings and comments matter a great deal to us developers - so please take the time to rate and comment on this app, it is sincerely appreciated and deeply felt! Thank-you!***
This app has been optimised for phone screens. If however the app displays incorrectly on your device, or you are installing it on a phone that has an HD display, you may want to install LCARS Shipyard Tablet instead as it may display better on your device.
This app has been thoroughly tested and will work on most popular Android versions, including Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean.
This app has scanned clean with Avast, Norton, AVG and Webroot.
Development and Test Devices : HTC Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S2 ( I know I am biased, but it looks really good on these devices!)
*** This app is NOT affiliated with or endorsed by Paramount or CBS Interactive. This app is NOT an officially licensed Star Trek product; it is a fan made app. No trademark or copyright infringement is intended. ***
Live Long and Prosper! :)

It could use more features though. Rather than simply scrolling through ships, group the ships by categories (ie federations ships, klingon ships etc). Also another button to toggle between side view, top view and actual picture would close it off nicely

All i can do on the app is get the warp hum. I hit the button i need to to access the ships...and nothing. It sits on the "Access Granted" screen. This app is a waste of my money. I demand you allow us unsatisfied customers the option for a refund.
(66 stars)
First download resulted in a bad package error and wouldn't install. Second try resulted in a complete install (might have been Google play rather then author). Second issue with app (as already stated) there is no navigation for this app which seems odd as the author spent so much time creating the graphics it wouldn't have taken much to add some navigation buttons. Nice to have items (also me

Also, some people thought that the convertible had a special battery type due to the extra vibrations that convertibles endure. I can tell you that the OEM battery is the same part number for convertible and sedan. The extra shock absorption is done via the tray.
Thank you for that correction (!).... please make it in the original post. Was looking and looking for a "49D" as mentioned and didn't see anything. Figured I'd have to go to All-Mart and get their $105 one as the Autozone battery is around 150 (and 160 without turning in your old battery).... it's a 49
, and currently, the price is $97. Now at least I can get a bunch of things from the same place. Thanks!

Supreme Court Injects Reason into Immigration Felony Definition
Released on Tue, Jun 15, 2010
On June 14, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court voted unanimously in Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder that a lawful permanent resident who is convicted of minor drug possession offenses does not warrant classification as having been convicted of an "aggravated felony." As a result, the Court held that Mr. Carachuri-Rosendo cannot be deported without an opportunity to make a case for why he should be allowed to remain in the United States. Please view the press release directly below, and you can also read about this case on our Supreme Court Update page.

Errata is frequent in engineering samples, only to be corrected in the final release. It is the worst chip to consider if your computer is used professionally. Gamers love them since all they do is game. Professionals, however, consider them "throw aways" and will never touch them --- they are consistently overloaded with errors. I am not talking a few, but many. I have not read the whole thread, but I seriously hope the most you do with your rig is gaming. For you will inevitably find yourself tracking down abstract errors and attempting to troubleshoot them to no avail. Usually when you least expect it. Unless you have nothing better to do with your time, those chips are nothing but a lesson in futility. Sounds harsh, but anyone who knows what ES stands for also knows they are simply not worth the discount you receive. You could not even pay me to run those chips, the amount of headache is not worth it IMO.

Do a search of "Intel CPU errata information" (or similar), and see what comes up.
|Sep 27, 2009, 11:08 PM
Errata seem to be given by a complete line of processors which would make sense to me. The above document outlines the current errata for the D0 stepping. They do not seem to be different to the W5590 to any of the other CPUs of that range. I believe that the higher grades are just singled out from testing and that they are not different in silicone design. They just reflect the yield advances in the manufacturing process. Since these samples showed up at the end of the 5500 series release I believe that there is no more risk for errata than it would occur with a regular Apple supplied chip. Now, if I was using Gulftown samples I would perhaps be concerned, but in the specific case I'm not. In fact testers seem to be concerned with the opposite. The samples they are given may be better than what is actually initially sold to the public in order to get better reviews. Due to this reason some testers actually source their chips on the market to avoid being seen as giving out favours.

The processors errata is a big problem with replacing processors in a Mac Pro and using processors such as ES processors or any processor that wasn't originally sold in the Mac Pro model you're using.
Traditionally, system makers/motherboard makers will issue bios updates in order to support new processors. It doesn't mean new processors won't work without an updated bios usually, but it's not officially supported. The reason is, when a new processor comes out, the motherboard makers have to incorporate the microcode updates into the bios to patch the system to support the errata's in each processor.
The problem is, Apple doesn't need to and probably doesn't patch their firmware to take into account for any processor errata's that may come out for future processors that may be compatible with that specific Mac Pro. Lets say Apple knows they only used a specific model and stepping of a processor in a Mac Pro. Then, a newer stepping of the same processor comes out. Apple knows what processors they used, so they know they never need to account for microcode updates for that processors errata. If you use that stepping of the processor, even though it may be an exact same model that Apple used (but a different stepping), you may have issues.
Here is some info from Microsoft on this. They explain it pretty simply and it may help people understand how this works. Basically, they are explaining how it can be updated from within Windows, but they speak to the fact that it could be updated in the bios (or in Apple's case, the EFI).
And here is the wikipedia article.
Now, have there been any documented cases of someone actually finding a problem with a upgraded Mac Pro that has failed because of a failure related to an errata of a processor? Probably not. But it's not something I am willing to try with any production Mac Pro.
So truly, the issue is not just ES processors, but any processor that wasn't officially used on the model of Mac Pro that you're trying to upgrade the processors. And not just the model of processor, but it would have to be the identical stepping.
Good luck with your processor upgrades!
|Sep 28, 2009, 04:19 AM
Nothing that I read in those linked documents tells me about possible additional errata of speed steps within one stepping (in this case D0). So my conclusion is that a different socket compatible CPU model with different stepping not anticipated by Apple might be a big risk, but staying inside one design but with a faster clock should not be a problem. I'm by no means an expert so additional information on that issue by more knowledgeable people would be appreciated.

The ES chips are not meant to be reviewed no matter what you may think or see. The chips they are using are product releases stamped ES, and there are so few of these legitimate samples around it is impossible that a consumer could obtain one. They are on loan only. The only ES chips that can be obtained by the consumer are the ones I described.
Here is an article that has most of its information correct:
|Sep 28, 2009, 03:31 PM
I'd like to see the more details that are supposed to follow the conclusion of that report, but they seem to be missing.
They're just trying to scare people into not buying ES samples. I agree with some of their points, but this is just a scare tactic post, trying to make sure people who buy these things understand what they would be buying. I do believe ES is not to be sold, even though they are, but I do know they are used for reviews and testing. This is easily seen and found by reading many of the review sites.
This is similar to how the first Mac Intel based development systems were 'sold' to end users. They bought them with the understanding that at the end of the program they had to return them, and would lose their $1k they spent on them. Apple, in the end, realized they probably wouldn't get a lot of them back so they changed their mind and as an incentive for returning the product, they were given a new iMac that was actually worth more than the initial $1k they spent. I think their motive, at the time, was to keep the TPM chip out of the general public's hands. There were still a few boxes that made it to eBay (not sure if they ever got sold). Granted, they no longer use the TPM chip to protect OSX from being installed on only Mac hardware, the idea was the same. You didn't own this box, just as you don't own the ES samples that you may obtain legitimately being a review site or partner. You can bet that if Intel promised to give you a retail copy of a processor if you returned the ES after the retail versions were available, there would be far fewer ES processors out there, as almost everyone would rather have the real thing than a sample processor.
The ES samples are cheaper for a reason. I wouldn't buy them for any machine that I used in production.

With the Oktoberfest, did you hear about them shutting off the entire outside road for a suspicion of a terrorist attack?

Common sense would indicate that tome viewer is following his own agenda here. He has not addressed any of the technical points at all. Instead he builds up a scare scenario which isn't entirely convincing. How about answering those questions tome viewer?
1. Is W5590 silicone any different to W5570 silicone which would indicate that there can be errata particular to that hardware version?
2. What are the differences in design?
3. Where can documentation about those errata - if they exist at all - be found?
On a different note we seem to have no forum contributors here who had negative experience with ES. To the contrary we had Tutor running regular chips outside Apples marketing scope with good success for some time.

The other point that I was trying to make was that chips with newer/different steppings may have a different errata, and microcode patches that normally would be introduced into the bios on boards that officially support newer processors, may not be fixed on a Mac Pro that never supported that processor. A W5590 with the same stepping and errata as a W5570 that was officially used in the Mac Pro should work fine. The only issues I can think of would possibly be thermal issues.
As far as the different chips and steppings, for instance, running a 5300 series processor in a 2006 Mac Pro may not work as well because the 2006 Mac Pro never came with a 5300 processor, so they don't have to add in any microcode patches into the firmware of a 2006 Mac Pro. A 2007 Mac Pro did come with 5300 chips, so as long as you stick with chips using the same steppings and same errata as the ones that came with the 2007 Mac Pro, you should be fine. Then again, nothing is 100% of course.

Afaik the peeps who updated the 1.1s with 5365s got the same benchmarks as the 2.1s?
Cant find the goddam charts now though.

Here is an Intel Specification Update document which discusses errata specific to the W3500 series Xeon. You will note that the vast majority of errata is the same for all steppings, but some of the errata has been eliminated in the later steppings. In the case of errata AAM69 (CPUID Instruction), it was not present in the C-0 or C-1 steppings but is present in the D-0 stepping. This is the only example I could find where a later stepping introduced an errata not present in a previous stepping. Here is the Specification Update for the W5500 Series (including W5590). This references errata specific to the W5500 series and may be of interest to those who are contemplating upgrading their 8-core Mac Pros.
From what I see in this document, some of what tome viewer has said is correct. From my obviously non-technical reading, errata appears specific to stepping but not necessarily clock speed. Example - W3520 @ 2.66 GHz used in the 2009 Mac Pro Quad is the same D0 stepping as the new W3580 @ 3.33 GHz. Same goes for the Mac Pro 8-core - E5520 (2.26 GHz) has same D0 stepping as W5590 @ 3.3 GHz. It would appear that all 2009 Mac Pros in production are using D0 steppings. Since errata is specific to steppings, replacing the stock CPU with a higher clocked version of the same stepping should not introduce any errata not already addressed in the original firmware.
Of course I know nothing about this topic, so I could be completely wrong.

man, i am so jealous. congratulations gugu for having the courage & skill to do this. what was the total cost, roughly? it sounds like you got an amazing bargain. man, you now have my dream computer. just needs the gtx 285 now
|Sep 29, 2009, 03:10 AM
Total cost was 3900 €. Prices being generally higher here you can take that for a $ figure if you translate it. My x5365 octad is on ebay now and I expect it to fetch 2600 € next Sunday. It currently has 8 bids topping over 1700€ after 36 h out there. I had over 370 hits and have over 80 observers of that auction. I expect the pair of X5520s to get me another 800€ if it goes well. So effectively the upgrade should cost me about 500€ if all goes well. If Apple would offer a 3,33 octad the extrapolated price (linear from the 2,26 - 2,93) here would be 6500€.

Hat's off to you Gugucom. Well done! I'm very impressed, you now own my dream machine. With any luck, I'll be attempting the very same build in the next week or so. This thread is a phenomenal resource. The details you provided in your posts have been excellent.
Apologies for the unorthodox method of contact. Although, I've gathered much from the amazingly informative forums here, I have an urgent and specific question to ask you. I can send you my email if need be. Please PM me at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

My old X5365 MP1,1 with 12 GB RAM went for 2.810 on Ebay last night. So it did exceed my expectations. It got me more than the basic 8 core Nehalem which I got refurbished at 2.599. I will be selling the original E5520s soon.
I had a contact with the supplier of the W5590 ES at the weekend but I don't know if any of the samples remain available. You can give me your email address and I will pass it on.

Retailers report solid gains in February
Target officials last week told investors that it wasn't depending on a major jolt from the economy to spur consumer spending and instead is relying on its 5 percent discount for shoppers paying with their credit or debit cards and its expansion of food to lure shoppers.
The discounter's relatively weak 1.8 percent increase in February revenue at stores open at least a year raises questions about how well that's working. Analysts expected a 2.2 percent increase. The company has said it expects its two initiatives to raise the figure by 4 percent to 5 percent for the year.
Target predicts it will see a mid- to upper-single-digit percentage decline in March, followed by a mid-teens increase in April. Combining both months, Target expects a low-single-digit gain.
Among department stores, Macy's, J.C. Penney Co. and Kohl's Corp all exceeded estimates. Macy's reported a 5.8 percent increase in revenue at stores open at least a year, and Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO said in a release that shopper reaction to spring clothing has been "encouraging." Analysts had expected a 3.7 percent gain.
At J.C. Penney, the figure rose 6.4 percent, exceeding the 4.2 percent estimate. Kohl's enjoyed a 5 percent gain, better than the 4.1 percent increase projected by Wall Street.
Saks' revenue at stores open at least a year surged 15.3 percent, well past the 4.9 percent estimate.
Gap Inc. struggled. The clothing retailer's figures were down 3 percent, dragged down by declines at Gap stores, Banana Republic and Old Navy. Analysts had expected a 0.9 percent dip.
Costco on Wednesday reported a 7 percent gain, above the 6.7 percent estimate, partly driven by higher gas prices.
