Hot/dry exhaust installation
I need to undo the previous owner''s "improvement" to my engine exhaust system. He had replaced the original design (which included a very long hot/dry run) with a waterlift setup where the water is injected nearer to the exhaust riser. However, the engine location does not really permit this so I want to revert to the original design with the long hot/dry run. My question is this: Can the hot/dry portion be permitted to touch the hull at some points without risk of fire? It will of course be covered in lagging, but should additional protection be provided at those points where space constraints force close proximity of the hot/dry portion with the hull, or am I being a worry-wart? (The engine is an 11hp gas 2-cylinder, and the hot/dry exhaust has an outside diameter of 1 5/8".) Thanks for any advice.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- This morning we're showing you the hidden hazards in your refrigerator that you should throw out immediately.
Check out the full list from Kitchen Daily:Things In Your Fridge You Should Throw Away Immediately
1. Open tins of canned goods - It's best to store canned contents in a separate food storage container or covered bowl. Food high in tin-concentration can cause short-term symptoms like fever and nausea.
2. Old leftovers - The storage time for leftovers in the fridge should not exceed four days to prevent food-borne illnesses. Past four days, you are at risk of consuming contaminated food that can cause food poisoning. Symptoms can include upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea.
3. Bacon and deli meat - Daily consumption of processed meats like bacon, cold cuts and sausage, is associated with a 19-percent increased risk of the disease in humans. Replace processed meat with healthier alternatives like fresh, unprocessed and preservative-free roasted or grilled chicken or turkey.
4. Margarine - When consumed in large amounts, it increases bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. The solid stick form of margarine contains more trans fat than the tub spreads.
5. Non-organic apples - Eating produce laced with pesticides can cause acute poisoning to the brain and nervous system, and put you at risk of cancer. Try to buy organic or at your local farmer's market, but be careful: organic produce does not always mean free of chemicals.

I stumbled onto this site while looking for a new pain management doctor to replace Dr. Oh. I didn't come to him by choice, but that in itself is another story for another time. I have a terrible time with one of his receptionist and feel like I have to be extremely contrite when I'm calling for any reason-a Rx renewal, help with other prescription matters, appointments, etc. because she told the doctor that I used foul language at the front desk one morning after promising me a RX would be ready to be picked up at 10 AM-and wasn't. The ironic thing was, I never said a word when I found out my RX wasn't ready. I was so shocked that I had been told it was and then found out it wasn't that I didn't know what to do, except turn around and leave and try to figure it out later. On my way to work. Because I was going to be late. And I couldn't just sit there and wait while "someone" try to cover up their mistake.Then I get a phone call from Dr. Oh telling me not to curse or use "foul language " in his front office. Okay? Are you serious. I am a very busy person and I hurt all the time. It's so hard to get going in the morning and once I get home from work I usually have no energy to get on the computer to research new doctors. Consequently I have tolerated slights and rudeness from both behind the front desk and Dr. Oh for way too long, visit after visit, phone call after phone call. I have shared the audaciously rude behavior stories with my co-workers and friends and they are just shocked that A) this kind of thing goes on with every encounter I have with this office and B) I keep going back. I'm pretty sure they will be happy for me to leave as much as I will be happy to be gone. From what I understand none of the Pain Management Clinics or doctors accept my insurance, so I have to pay out of pocket at least $120 per visit, so I figure if I have to pay that much to see a doctor I may as well see one that I like and has some respect for his patients. I do not recommend him to anyone.
I have been seeing Dr. Oh for about 8 months now for a torn disc and two ruptured disc's he genuinely cares about my treatment. He always asks my opinion on treatment and makes sure I am ok with our next step. I believe he is truely trying to help me get rid of my back pain for good. We have tried several different treatments and he explains things very well to me. Maybe it's because I understand what he is trying to tell me but I never experienced feeling uncomfortable or did I ever feel like he had an ego and didn't care about my treatment. All of those reviews shocked me as I have not experienced this behavior with Dr. Oh at all.
Dr. Oh in my opinion treats his patients like they are inferior to him.His bedside manner and attitude leave alot to be desired.
Yeah he's a great doctor if you want pain meds but he is lousy if you need any other kind of help or treatment.I was really surprised when I checked his medical record that there hadn't been any serious issues or disciplinary action.If you really need pain meds go see the fine doctors at Pain Consultants of Washington.I think Dr. Oh should see a doctor to have the foreign object removed from one of his bodily openings.
I am shocked by all the hostility on several review boards re: Dr Oh. I was referred by a nuerologist for non-surgical help w/ 2 herniated disks/pinched nerves. The amount of pain I was in when I first saw him couldn't be faked, so perhaps that is why I have never seen this ego-maniac pill with-holding, non-result showing monster several people mention? Dr. Oh referred me to someone who could help immediately with a shot into my C7 area then has followed up with me as needed, giving me shots himself in his office, showing great flexibility in fitting me in whenever I am in need! At first he seemed to speak over me, explaining things as if I knew what was what - when I shared that I had NO idea what anything meant: why/when/what/huh?? he made a noticable effort to speak in terms I could follow and showed no egobased frustration in doing so. He is working with me on breaking the cycle of pain that my neck & back muscles want to constantly spasm into & we have a goal in mind plus a slow steady approach that we discussed "together" Perhaps Dr Oh is a lil dry in his overall demeanor but that just makes it more endearing when I get him to laugh. :)
He helped me with a sciatica issue and I have not had any issues since!
This Dr is not clear on his directions. He is not at all open minded, he gets an idea (right or wrong)in his head & you may as well noe exist. Poor bed side manner, unless you like a Dr that DOESN'T LISTEN!!!!! He never smiles, will never inquire how you are or are feeling, he is cold & belongs in Pathology or the Morgue.
He has helped my artritis a lot, but he has not investigated case. I have told him what the others say is wrong, he agrees with me and treats, it works but I feel he should look at x-rays, blood work, etc. However he takes my word that these things have been done.
My husband has been seeing Dr. Oh for about 1 year. I have been with him to many appointments. This is the thing about DR. OH, he is very aware of people who are coming to get pain pills, he is also aware of people over shooting pain to get the pills. He is not stupid. He has been very good to my husband. He is working on his L&I case. He has submitted papers so L&I has to pay for his schooling to work in a different field because he can't do what he was doing before. Is he short sometimes, yes, but that has only been on the phone w/my husband. My husband has had it out with him before and DR. oh did not cut him off at all, he listened to my husbands concerns. After about 6 months on pain pills my hubby asked about SUBOXEN per that is what I take for my migranes. He put him on them and they have worked wonderful. And as for the person that said you will never feel pain pills again or only slightly feel them, that is not true. Suboxen only stays in your system for about 36 hours in which during that time opiates will NOT work. after that they will work like always. I know this because I had surgery and had to stop taking the suboxen 48 hours before major surgery and the pain pills worked fine after that. You need to research alittle more about suboxen because saying pills won't wrk ever again is not true. He is extremely smart about addiction. He has written books on it. He helped get my hubby off pills and has also helped me about knowing about addiction and i'm not even his patient. Thanks to DR. oh my husband will now get retrained at everett community college for two years to be a IT tech for computers all paid for. He has given us a new start in life even w/my hubbys back issues. I would recommend DR.Oh to people that really need help and NOT recommend him to people who are just trying to get pills because he can sense that very easily and when he does he probably does become pissed per you are wasting his time.
old_patient is EXACTLY RIGHT! He is the worst thing that's ever happened to me regarding medicne. Arrogant, Mean, Mean Spirted, Very Confused, and sometimes just out right Dumb. He actually goes so far as to tell me how much pain I'm not only in at the time of a visit, but also how much pain I had been in 3-4 days before seeing him!??? What the hell is that?||ALSO, he is rarely right about topics, but NEVER WRONG about anything. He is consistently INTERRUPTVE (your lucky to get out 3 words in ANY kind of arguementative discussion, regardless of the subject), and I will catch him throwing verbal rocks at me during EVERY meeting.||I could go on for a while but, you must get the point by now....||Finally one last point must be made...he is in such a conflict of interest, that he doesn't know if he's a pain management physician or a drug diversion counselor....In my opinion, he is far more the latter...so, if you are trying to get help in an understanding, respectful atmosphere, this is not the place , and he is not the man....MOVE ON IF YOU'RE SMART!!!||Does anyone have any PERSONAL EXPERIENCE recommendations for another physician that fits the positive qualities I mentioned?? PLEASE HELP.
He is arrogant and conceited. He talks down to his patients and can be downright rude if you question his advice in any way.||His solution for many spine problems is to strengthen your back muscles and take pain meds daily for the rest of you life if necessary. This does nothing to relieve pressure on the nerves form degenerated discs, thickened ligament flavum, spondylosis or bone spurs.||If you need to see a physiatrist, try one of the excellent doctors at WA Interventional Spine Assoc.||Your first course of action for spine problems should be to see a good neurologist. If you are considering surgery see both a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic surgeon so you can get at least two opinions on what to do.||While many disc injuries can heal themselves in time, they don't always. It depends on the injury and your genetic history. Degenerated discs can also lead to spondylosis, bone spurs, thickened ligament flavum, and facet DJD, none of which will get better without surgery.||Putting off needed spine surgery can lead to irreversible nerve damage so don't be afraid to consider surgery if 6 months of conservative treatment have failed.
You guys are nuts!! I have been seeing Dr. Oh for 6 years. He is a good Dr. and has treated my back very well! Without having surgery (which two other doctors told me I needed, but I did not want it) he has helped me to live a better life WITHOUT having to take pain medication on a regular basis.||Perhaps if you listened to what he told you to do to improve your spine health and not just want pain meds from him, you would have more success and a more positive feeling about him.||He is NOT an egomaniac and there is NO WAY he would become arguementative almost to the point of violence. That is pure BS!! The person who wrote that is a straight up liar!||I would recommend Dr. Oh to anyone I knew who had a back problem. I have refered a couple people who are also happy patients!
I had the misfortune of having to work with Dr. Oh.. Wow is he an arrogant jerk. Very very hard to deal with, cannot be told he is wrong. If you told him he was on fire he would argue with you that he was not, and tell you why you are stupid for believein
Dr. Oh is extremely arrogant especially since he really doesn't know what he is talking about half the time. His logic and his arguments are all over the map - full of inconsistencies and contradictons. His position on certain issues will spontaneously fl
This doctor is so bad at what he is supposed to be good at, and oh (pardon the pun) what an ego! Don't disagree with him or he will get really nasty. His theories are so far-fetched that you might as well be seeing a tribal witch-doctor. He has the power to prescribe pain medication and that power has gone to his big fat head. He sits in a thrown and towers above his patients, all part of what is nothing less than a full-blown god complex. He is very skilled at maximizing his practice. God help you if you need any personal attention. Stay away from this egomaniac.
Dr. Oh at Kirkland Spine Care: I recommend Dr. Oh's website be read prior to making an appt. He is a great doctor, for both pain management and addiction to pain medications. Doctors can only treat so many patients at one time, so you need to be ready to

My husband and I recently stayed at the Winemarkers Porch B&B on myy son's recommendation. It is a delightful place set in a vineyard. Hosts Corinne and Marlowe are a delightful couple. The Burgundy Room was spacious and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was yummy - yogurt and strawberry crepes, followed by a frittata and roasted potatoes. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

This was the second time that we have stayed here for my wife's birthday. It is the only place that she wants to go to because Corrine and Marlowe are such wonderful hosts. The breakfast is nothing short of outstanding. The beds are very comfortable, and the rooms are clean. We have stayed at other B&B before in other places and they seem to pale in comparison. The property is beautiful and secluded. You can't go wrong staying here. Mike C.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the winemakers porch. Our hosts were nice and quite helpful. Their place is quiet and comfortable and the breakfasts were lovely. We would highly recommend it.
5 on September 04, 2014
Our stay with Corrine and Marlowe was everything we could have asked for and more. I had gotten engaged the day before I arrived, and they worked with me to make a very special couple of days. The personal touches just cannot be beat, and I would recommend this to any couple looking for a romantic getaway. It was my first bed and breakfast experience and I can honestly say it far exceeded all expectations. The grounds are amazing, the food is unbelievable, and you really are given complete freedom to go by your own schedule. We had breakfast with the other couples (by choice), but otherwise it was as if we had the place to ourselves. Stay here, you won't be disappointed!

This place was amazing to stay at! Their sheets are absurdly comfortable, to the point where there's a sign next to the bed on how to buy them. The elderly couple that runs this place is extremely friendly and can cook up a mean breakfast. It was a bummer we had to leave early on Sunday as I would've loved to stay longer. I would definitely go back here and spend more time lounging around.

My husband and I have never stayed at a B&B before. Well it is safe to say that we are ruined for any other B&B! From the moment we pulled into the gate we knew that this little getaway was going to be amazing. Our room was comfy. The sheets were divine. The views were spectacular! When we arrived we were offered a glass of wine and there were cookies in our room! The breakfast each morning could have came from a 5 star chef. Simply divine. We even made friends with the other couple staying there. Our time was amazing. I can't wait to go back!

My recent three day stay at the Winemakers Porch was a fantastic experience set in the peaceful wine country of Paso Robles. Anyone who plans to visit this great wine tasting area of California will not be disappointed with the accomodations. The owners attend to your every need and prepare wonderful breakfasts. K. Boudreau

Charming, friendly people run this establishment. We stay here often. A breath of fresh air (literally) from living in the Los Angeles area! Beautiful grounds to wander day or evening, the most beautiful and delicious breakfasts, you would think you were at some fancy restaurant in New York. 3 rooms total. 2 are in a separate building removed from the main house. Every experience we have had here has been awesome, and we have had many. We have only stayed at one other B&B in Paso Robles. Once we found this place, why mess with perfection?

NV40 antialiasing sample patterns
I have been looking into the drivers, Finding out what modes are still usable. From 61.32 and forward.
I have been going through the Various Anti Aliasing sample patterns currently available to the Geforce 6 6800. This is what I have currently Discovered. For Reference sakes.
Note: Green Dots: Are Geometry sampling and green dots are texture sampling. Super Sampling does texture sampling. Hence why they are seperate from geometry sometimes in Nvidias Hybrid Modes. Texture sampling can effect Alpha Textures and improve overall scene quality unlike geometry sampling.
2x: 2x hasnt changed any. Same 2 Sample Rotated Grid Pattern Found on the Nv3x/NV2x Series. Quincunx Shares this pattern Sample
2xQ: Quincunx is a special anti aliasing mode that dates back to the Geforce 3 series, Its share the same sample pattern as 2x. However a post processing pixel sharing occurs on ramdac which can decrease edge aliasing., This can introduce a "blur" effect to the screen. Once heralded as 2x performance at 4x Quality, it effectively removes edges better than 4x OGMS but inferior to 4x RGMS, Performance is in line with 2x multisampling.
4x RGMS: Large Change, 4x Rotated Grid Multi Sampling. Does a much better Job at hitting Horizontal Edges. With Nvidias compression. This mode produces optimal Image Quality/Performance of all modes available within drivers.
4x OGMS: Legacy Mode from NV2x/NV3x line. Sample Patterns are aligned in an ordered grid pattern. While effectively hitting vertical edges. It does little against horizontal aliasing.
4x-9tap: Another legacy mode from the Nv2x/Nv3x line that was never officially supported. Similar to quincunx it uses pixel sharing post processing that reduces edge aliasing.. It does however cause a blur effect like quincunx.
4xS Still usable on the Geforce 6800, Same as Previous card. 2x RGMS + 1x2 Super Sampling. (Direct3d Only) Notice the green texture sample patterns which will improve overall scene quality. This mode is usually faster than 8xS by a few frames per second. (Ut2004 is an anomaly)
8xS Appears to be 4x RGMS + 1x2 SS, I was testing this mode and to be honest the Performance is definately there and usable in many situations. The pink sample pattern represent the super sampling and its overall effects on textures.
16xS The very first 16x mode ever available under a Direct3d Enviroment! It consists of 4x RGMS + 2x2 OGSS. Notice the 16 Grey Geometry samples and the 4 pink texture samples. This mode requires massive amounts of framebuffer usage. Owners of 256 meg cards might find this more usable.
16x Super Sampling: Another new mode available under Direct3d. This mode consists of pure 16x ordered grid super sampling. This mode fillrate and bandwith limited and will bring even NV4x chipsets directly to it's knees.
2x1 Super Sampling: 2x1 Ordered Grid Super Sampling. Good for Compatibility, Still available with a registry tweak tool. Only good for hitting vertical edges, Horizontal Edges will not be affected.(direct3d only)
1x2 Super Sampling:Similar to 2x1, Also good for compatibility. This pattern is designed to anti alias horizontal edges, It will not do anything to verticle edges.(direct3d Only)
2x2 Super Sampling: 4x Ordered Grid Super Sampling. This pattern does best against verticle edges, But also removes aliasing on horizontal edges as well(Direct3d Only)
Old 6x: Consists of 4x OGMS + 2x1 Super Sampling. This mode was one
of the initial NV30 launch modes. It was long since replaced, Since it doesnt
hit horizontal edges at all it is not very useful.
12x Anti Aliasing: Also Known as 6xS for Geforce FX users. Its combination of OGMS and Ordered Grid Super Sampling. Noticing this pattern leaves me to believe the Geforce 6800 still supports Ordered Grid Multisampling somewhere within the drivers.
Old 8xS(Broken): Geforce FX users 8xS Anti Aliasing. A Combination of 2RGMS with 2x2 OGSS. Notice the pink patterns as well. Much larger performance hit than Nvidias new mode. However it seems to sharpen textures better. Unfortunately with later forceware drivers, This anti aliasing is currently broken.
Nvidia once again has unchallenged legacy support for its Anti Aliasing methods.
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
I collected data and gathered results.
Note: All data gathered, With the exception of the Reference shot with no AF is done with 16x Quality Anistropic Filtering.
No AA/NoAF: Reference Point. Performance used as baseline
Image Quality Shot
2xAA/16xAF: Marginal performance Hit from moving from 2xAA/16x Quality AF, Large increase in Image Quality.
Image Quality Shot
2xQAA/16xAF: Performance hit as shown is similar to 2xAA, the blurring side effect of quincunx can be seen here.
Image Quality Shot
4xAA/16xAF(RGMS): With Nvidias New 4x RGMS pattern the jump from 2x to 4x is about the same as the jump from from no anti aliasing to 2x. Bringing significant quality improvements at a very marginal frame rate hit from 2x. Highly recommended mode for 6800 users. Please note horizontal edges and how 4x AA effectively removes aliasing.
Image Quality Shot
4xAA/16xAF(OGMS): Nvidias old legacy 4x Multi Sampling. This mode is also found on NV2x/NV3x Variant Nvidia GPUs, It employs the same compression as Nvidias new mode. It does appear to be marginally faster than the new mode. However it doesnt do much for horizontal edges at all rendering it pretty useless in comparison to the 4x RGMS pattern
Image Quality Shot
4x9tap/16xAF: As seen on the original NV2x/Nv3x GPUS, This mode is a bit slower than 4x multisampling modes. An exception seems to be Unreal Tournament 2004 which seems to not differ in performance much at low resolutions. More bandwith limited titles/resolutions will show more of a disparity.
Image Quality Shot
8XS/16xAF: Impressive results. Able to maintain an average of 50 + FPS in the Antalus Map. This setting has proven to be more usable than I expected. (Recommended for Jagged edge nuts) Offers twice the performance of the old 8xS mode and seems to remove horizontal edges better. Compare to the old 8xS Mode.
Image Quality Shot
16xS/16xAF: The new 16x is exclusive to people with NV40 variant graphic cards. This mode is overkill. It does however provide the absolute best Image Quality. It effectively removes aliasing better than any other mode nvidia offers and also serves to sharpen textures. It does however have dire effects upon performance.
16xAA(SS)/16xAF: The other 16x pattern within Nvidia drivers is 16x Super Sampling. Its quality seems slightly below 16xS when it comes to edge removal. However texture quality will be very high using this mode. Performance is very low due to the massive fillrate and bandwith requirements.
4xS/16xAF: This result surprised me alot. I absolutely cannot see any reason to use this mode on a Geforce 6800, While one of my favorite modes on the geforce FX series, the 4x Multi Sampling mode completely obsoletes this method. Providing twice the frame rates at the same Image Quality. One thing to note is that UT2004 shows an unusual anomaly compared to other aps. Generally 4xS is few frame per second faster than 8xS.
Image Quality Shot
2x1/16xAF: Not really an ideal Gaming mode. This mode is useful for playing Old Games with Alpha Texture, Doesnt effect horizontal aliasing at all
Image Quality Shot
1x2/16x AF: Same as Above, Not ideal Gaming Mode. This mode is useful for playing Old Games With Alpha Textures, Doesnt effect Vertical Aliasing at all
Image Quality Shot
2x2/16x AF: Best Legacy AA Mode. Pure Super Sampling. Works excellent in older titles which have trouble with Multi Sampling. Image Quality Comparable to 4x ordered grid multi sampling
Image Quality Shot
Old 6xAA/16xAF: Another not terribly useful mode. This mode was originally used during the launch of the Geforce FX 5800 Ultra. It was
highly criticized for not being much better than 4x. There is not much use
to this current mode.
Image Quality Shot
12xAA/16x AF: Not Terribly useful. IQ results above 4x Multi Sampling are marginal. Hybrid mode so not even paticularly useful for Alpha textures.
Image Quality Shot
Old 8xS/16xAF: Interesting mode. Edge removal is comparable to New 8xS mode. However it does tend to offer better quality on textures due to it being super sampling. Not reccomended unless you want sharper textures. Be sure to compare to the new 8xS.
Image Quality Shot
Performance: For the new graph I decided to use DM: Ice Tomb because it more effectively limits the GPU than Antalus. All tests were conducted with max quality in DM Icetomb. I took three preset runs and divided the results to reduce margin of error. Margin of error was within .5 FPS.
To Enable: To Enable copy this .cfg to your riva tuner and remove your old AA .cfg settings.
Conclusion: Nvidias new 4x mode results in the best balance of image quality and performance. However there is lot of tweakability within Nvidia's drivers, Finding a mode that suits you shouldnt be hard.
Final Note: Unfortunately there are some minor discrepancies in my Image Quality shots. I apologise for this. Due to the fact that I was unlocking these modes over a course of time.. Some modes were not taken at the exact "position" and time frame. I do intend to correct this as soon as possible.
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
Excellent work there ChrisRay! :)
This would be the most detail and useful AA investigation for NV cards!
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
cool stuff...can ya bench with games liek ut2k3/ut2k4 ..far cry etc with some of unofficial AA modes thanks ;)
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
because I keep prefixing it as the 6th Geforce card to carry the name. Bad habit :)
I am beginning to write an Image Quality review in my spare time for Nvnews. It's gonna be a massive undertaking project wise. So Might have to wait for that. :)
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
hey why not some screenshots of old and new 8xS in Geforce6800.?
everytime i use 4xS i notice a huge diference in the IQ of the games.. instantly.. 8xS should be awesome!! and usefull in games not to demanding in power and using conservative resolutions.. like 1024x768.
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
Problem with screenshots, Is Currently I lack webspace, I would love very much to Quality COmparison Shots, (Which is why I am writing a review) But I have no place to host screens that would either mode justice.
*edit* Update! screenshots posted below comparing each respective mode.
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
I just updated the results to show Image Quality among the various Modes. I hope this investigation helps some people.
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
Very nice work. I hope this gets a front page link ASAP!
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
Nice work Chris, in that shot 8xfsaa isnt really that much slower than than 4xfsaa :bugeyes:
Its always impressive how much better even just 2xfsaa looks than no fsaa. Do you know what the performance is in that shot at 0xfsaa +16xaf/2xfsaa +0xaf?
Good job, hope it makes the front page
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
I thought ATI had the edge anti-aliasing solution in the bag, now I am not so sure. The quality for 2x/4x MSAA is far as I am concerned the same. The ATI 6x compared to Nvidia's new 8xS I think will go to Nvidia due to the FSAA part. I am definitely looking forward to all of this. Temporal AA is interesting but I've only found one game that it worked well on and that was MaxPayne II (that was on an old 9700Pro I might add). The choice of both using MSAA and FSAA as well as a combination of the two is great. Some games won't do MSAA but will do FSAA, Splinter Cell is one of them if I am not mistaken. If so, then I will probably get Splinter Cell now.
ChrisRay, could you check into titles that do not do MSAA like Splinter Cell, that is if you have them and see they will work with FSAA?
Re: 6800 Series Anti Aliasing Sample patterns
I'll try Noko. But at the moment I am very pressed for time. Trying to do alot of things, benches, IQ Comparisons ect :)
P.S. Updated again. Should be much easier to read now.

Union Minister of State Srikanth Jena on Tuesday suggested that coalition compulsions have blocked his promotion but made it clear that he will not quit.
He said he would take up the matter with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and highlight his seniority in politics and "views of people of Odisha" on lack of representation in the Cabinet.
"It is Prime Minister's prerogative as to whom to make minister and what assignment to give," Mr. Jena told reporters in New Delhi after the announcement of reshuffle in which he retained the portfolio and was additionally given Minister of State with independent charge of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
"In this kind of coalition, there are compulsions... I have no choice... I will perform whatever responsibility given to me by the Prime Minister," said Mr. Jena.
He had reluctantly assumed office as MoS in 2009, contending that it was a demotion for him as he had served as Cabinet Minister in the United Front government in 1996.
Sources close to Mr. Jena on Tuesday said that he was not happy as he had hoped for elevation to Cabinet rank.
Mr. Jena said that he would talk to Dr. Singh and Ms. Gandhi again about his seniority in politics and views of people of Orissa on the lesser representation to the State.
"I have been telling them about this and will again draw their attention on this," he said.
Asked whether he had any chance in the future of being elevated to Cabinet, he said, "In politics, no doors are closed."
To a question whether he would quit, he shot back, "Why should I quit. The question does not arise... Why should I sulk?"
Keywords: Cabinet reshuffle, Srikant Jena

Hello - boy its been a very very long time since my last post - I took quite a break and tried out watercoloring painting which I really enjoyed but really missed making cards so this year I decided to make a few Christmas cards for special people in my life. This was one of the cards that I made using my Magnolia stamps - I still love these stamps so much - they are so so cute!! I really enjoyed my time in my craft room making cards - I forgot how therapeutic it is for me. Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Fire up the Grill
Hello - As summer is coming to an end I decided to pull out barbeque Tilda - I bought her last year and I may have used her once if that and I really think she is cute so I made this card. The barbeque is a die cut from Memory Box which I thought complemented this Tilda perfectly! I haven't done much coloring at all in the past 6 months as I was so busy preparing for my son's wedding. Now one month after the wedding I am finally able to spend more time in my craft room - I am so happy about that - as soon as I started coloring again - it just felt so right! I love to sit and color - it is very relaxing for me. This card was made with some older Bo Bunny paper that I had in my paper stash as well. I thank you for stopping to visit and if you are Canadian I hope you really enjoy the labour day weekend coming up. Yes I know today is only Monday but before we know it - the weekend will be here - hoping for some more great summer weather too!

Wedding Wishes
Hello - wow it has been a very long time since my last post but I have been so very busy with wedding stuff. My son and his beautiful fiancé were married on July 27th and it was the perfect wedding - everything was so beautiful. Now that the wedding is over I will be able to get more time back in my craft room and I am happy about that. I did make this card for them for their wedding. I used the adorable Whimsy stamp (the cute wedding couple) - I am sorry not sure what the name of the stamp is and the background stamp - as well not sure what company that stamp is from - I purchased it some time ago from our local stamp store. I do know that there was lots of coloring with this card but I totally enjoyed the process! I added some die cuts and flowers and a fiskars border at the top and that pretty much finished off the card. It may be hard to see on the photo but the bride's dress is covered in sparkly glitter - very pretty in real life! Thank you for stopping by my blog for a visit and hope you have a wonderful day! Oh one more thing - everything was colored with copic markers.

Happy Birthday Katie
Hello - I just purchased my very first Saturated Canary stamp! I always admired the cute images! My future daughter-in-law's birthday is at the end of this month and so I picked up this adorable birthday image. She is painted with my watercolor paints (something fun I wanted to try) and her shirt is paper-pieced. The paper is Bo Bunny - Prairie Chic Collection. I used my cricuit to cut out the birthday presents (Beyond Birthdays) and the pendant to the upper left is Memory Box. I used my old quikutz die cuts for the letters to spell Katie. I added some lace and a few small flowers and layered with blue and brown cardstock. The image was cut out after I painted it. I am fairly certain that Katie won't be looking at my blog so she won't see her card in advance. She is busy with school work and planning for her wedding this summer. My postings are already becoming sparse due to all the wedding preparations and I know once the wedding gets closer my cardmaking will be put to the side until after the wedding - I did buy an adorable new Whimsy stamp for the wedding card and I will be making that soon so it is done and I will post that one once I get it finished. Well we are having some beautiful sprng like weather where I live so I am excited about that - I love the warmth so the sooner spring and summer get here the happier I will be. Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and hope your week is fabulous.
Bye for now

Love is in the Air
Hello - today will be a short note as it has been so busy for me lately. Even though I have been busy I did manage to get a card made - I find that when life becomes overwhelming I need to go and make time for myself in my craft room and that is what I did this past weekend. Since Valentines Day is just around the corner I figured this card would be suitable. I love this Tilda and the reason I love her so much is her versatility, I have used her before for Christmas cards and she would work so well with almost any other type of occasion. I used sizzix dies for the corner on the top left side, the love sentiment and the heart behind Tilda and memory box for the swirls on the right side of the card behind the flowers. I am not sure where I got the background musical stamp from (it is actually a Christmas stamp and if you look real close at the words it is the words to jingle bells - lol!!) But I doubt anyone will notice - the words are pretty tiny. I also used the background paper from the new Magnolia magazine - it is so pretty!! Well that pretty much does it for today's post - hope you are enjoying your day wherever that may be - we have been experiencing unusually mild almost spring like weather here where I live and I am loving it - bye for now and happy cardmaking!!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year - I don't make any new year resolutions because it causes too much pressure on me but if you are one that does make resolutions - all the best with whatever your resolutions or goals may be. Hard to believe it is 2013. I am looking forward to my son's wedding in July - there will be lots to do in the upcoming months but I am very excited about it all. This is my first card for 2013 and I like how it turned out but I will say that it was not my design - I found this idea in an older Magnolia magazine so I in no way take credit for the design. It was kind of fun just "copying" and then adding a few of my own elements. I almost always try and come up with my own idea for a card and sometimes that can be so time consuming and even frustrating so I decided to start off the year with a card that wouldn't cause me all of that. This Tilda is one of my favorites over the past few years and I have used her quite often. She is colored with copic markers and the background is Tim Holtz Stormy Sky distress ink sponged around. The sentiment is a Whimsy sentiment. Thanks for stopping by for a visit and I hope you are enjoying the start of this new year and hope your year is filled with creativity. For me I find creativity feeds the soul and so I am hoping to spend lots of time in my craft room this year nourishing myself in this way.

Something Special to Share
Hello again - I know I don't post for a couple of months and then all of sudden I do two posts in one day but I had to share this most special Christmas gift that I was given EVER!! My dear grandmother passed away almost 1 year ago (she was 94 years old and very special to me). She owned a beautiful fur coat that my grandfather had bought for her many, many years ago and she owned ths fur coat until the day she passed away. My grandmother has 2 daughters - one is my mom and the other my aunt and between my mom and my aunt there are 4 grandchildren (actually 5 but my brother is mentally handicapped and has been since a small child). However my aunt was going to get rid of the fur coat after my grandmother passed away but my mother said she wanted to have it. My mother had a brilliant idea (my mother is an amazing woman) anyways she thought it would be such a wonderful gift to have my grandmother's fur coat made into special "keepsake" bears - 1 for each of her grandchildren whom she adored. My mother found a lady to make the bears and then my mom knitted the clothes they are wearing. The lady who made the bears was able to get 6 bears from the coat and so my mom and my aunt also will get one of the special bears too!! My mom asked me to come over yesterday and pick out a bear - It was so special and this bear is so special too - I ended up choosing the one on the farthest left in the picture - he is adorable!!!. Even though they were all made from the same pattern they all were so unique in their looks - that is the amazing part of "homemade" that I so love. Anyways my aunt and my 3 cousins I am sure will be touched as well this Christmas season by this so very special gift. I had to share this as it just means so much to me and it is a really heartwarming story - my grandma will be smiling from heaven I know when she sees us all with one of her fur bears. My grandmother loved to do handwork as well so I know she would just love this. Mom if you are reading this post - I love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart - you are the best!!!!! So thoughtful and kind!!! I wanted to share this with my crafty blog friends as I know they will love to see the bears as well!!
Have a very Merry Christmas to all - I may post a card or 2 yet before Christmas but in case I run out of time may your season be filled with Joy and Peace and great family memories!!!!
Love your stamping friend, Debbie

We had a wonderful day with a great driver. He was on time, and very knowledgeable. He didn't rush us, and he gave us the opportunity to see places we would have never seen if not for him. I'd recommend this trip to everyone!

Annmarie Fertoli, Associate Producer at WNYC
Annmarie Fertoli is an Associate Producer at WNYC, working with the afternoon news team to produce All Things Considered.
Despite the fanfare surrounding the unveiling of Coney Island's Scream Zone Wednesday, the park's opening has been set for Saturday, officials said.
A spokesman for Central Amusement International — the city's partner in developing and operating the new park — said the rides need some "finishing touches." Tom Corsillo declined to give specifics, but said they don't involve safety. He had originally said the park would open on Thursday.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other city officials introduced the Scream Zone's four new rides, including two roller coasters, at an event on Wednesday. A spokeswoman for the city's Economic Development Corporation said the park was always slated to open this weekend.
Coney Island's Luna Park, including the Cyclone, are open. Both Luna Park and the Scream Zone will be open every day after Memorial Day.
