Nissan Note review
The latest Nissan Note is just as practical as ever, but it's now more stylish and better to drive, too
Sponsored Links
The Nissan Note has always gone its own way. With its supermini dimensions and MPV styling cues, the British-built machine aims to combine unrivalled practicality with low running costs.
The Nissan Note is a supermini roughly the same size as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo but it has a huge focus on offering loads of space for passengers and a seriously impressive boot, too. Add to that a comfortable ride, plenty of technology and some low running costs and the Note is a worthy rival to the best in class.
The Note doesn't quite have the funky appeal of the Fiesta or the Renault Clio but it's definitely a lot more stylish than the old model. As well as the new look, Nissan has introduced some punchy new engines, including a 1.2-litre supercharged engine, with impressively low CO2 emissions of 99g/km. There's a diesel version, too, which boasts 90g/km.
The chassis has been tweaked for European roads so it's better to drive as well and Nissan does off a Ride and Handling pack on certain models, but even with it fitted the Note can't match the Fiesta for fun. There's lots of new safety equipment, including a surround view camera system, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring.
There are four good-value trim levels to choose from: Visia, Acenta, Acenta Premium and Tekna. We'd go for the diesel version as it gets great economy and is punchy on the road, but go for the petrol 1.2 if you're not going to be covering very many miles per year.
Our choice: Note 1.5 dCi Acenta Premium
You'd struggle to call the Note distinctive, but its MPV-inspired 'one box' design means it still manages to stand out from the supermini crowd. With its soft curves and rounded edges the Nissan looks softer and less aggressive than its hatchback rivals, while its boxy proportions and upright tailgate hint at the roomy interior.
Entry-level models make do with black door handles and mirror housings, but other versions get body-coloured items. The range-topping Tekna benefits from 16-inch alloys, splashes of chrome trim and rear privacy glass.
The straightforward design approach continues inside.The major ventilation and infotainment controls are grouped together on the gloss-black centre console, while the white backlit dials add a touch of class.
Unfortunately, any upmarket aspirations are undermined by the use of cheap-feeling plastics throughout the interior. And while it all feels well screwed together, one of our test cars did develop a rattle behind the dashboard.
Still, there will be few complaints about the amount of standard kit. All versions get Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and cruise control, while Tekna models benefit from keyless entry, sat-nav, a DAB radio and a surround view camera system.
The Nissan Note is easy to drive around town, thanks to its compact size and light controls, while the £400 Safety Shield option includes a surround view camera system that helps get the car into the tightest spaces.
Nissan's also fine-tuned the Note on European roads, so it's much better to drive here than it was before - but it still can't match cars like the Ford Fiesta for driver engagement. However the steering is well weighted body control is good too - it's better than a Honda Jazz, for example - but the ride is a little firm over less than pristine surfaces.
A characterful three-cylinder engine is available in the Note, which is strong enough despite the 1.2-litre capacity and 79bhp output. Buyers wanting more performance can pay £1,000 extra for the supercharged DIG-S, which delivers 98bhp and 147Nm of torque.
The 1.5-litre diesel feels a lot quicker than any of them and it provides some seriously impressive fuel economy figures, too. The only problem with it is that it can get a little bit noisy under acceleration.
The Note does get a bit unsettled no the motorway, however. There's some wind noise around the door mirrors and the engine labours on steep inclines. The brakes aren't up there with the best, either, as there's a spongy feel when you apply the pedal.
The Nissan Note didn't feature in our Driver Power 2014 satisfaction survey, but it should be a dependable choice. Many of its underpinnings are shared with the robust Micra, while the 1.5-litre dCi is a tried and tested Renault-sourced unit. However, if something does go wrong, you won't be able to rely on the same level of customer service as, for example, a Skoda owner – Nissan's dealers finished our poll in a poor 25th place.
A four-star Euro NCAP score means the Note also loses out to some rivals for safety. However Nissan's Safety Shield technology includes handy features such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and cross traffic alert.
The cleverly packaged Note is a very practical choice. The large, wide-opening doors make entry easy, while the big windows help create an airy ambience. And although there's no height adjustment for the steering, the high-set driving position is comfortable.
However, the Note's party trick is its sliding rear bench, which allows you to choose between executive car-rivalling rear legroom or a generously sized 411-litre load bay – in this latter configuration there's very little space for occupants in the back, though. Fold the rear bench and you'll find its boxy shape pays dividends because there's a gigantic maximum capacity of 1,495 litres.
The boot also benefits from the brand's Flexiboard system, which can be used as either a load divider to stop shopping rolling around, or to raise the height of the boot floor to create a flat load area with the seats folded down. Lift the floor and you'll find a usefully deep, tough plastic-lined cubby. There are also a couple of shopping bag hooks and a 12V power supply.
Elsewhere in the cabin you'll find a number of practical touches, including a spacious double-decker glovebox and a number of cup-holders, including a pair hidden in the rear seat's centre armrest. The only real black mark is reserved for the door pockets, which are narrow and tricky to access on the move.
Running Costs
The new Nissan Note is very economical, with all engines equipped with stop-start technology. The 1.2-litre DIG-S petrol and 1.5-litre dCi diesel models emit less than 100g/km of CO2, which means road tax is free. Go for the standard 1.2 and it'll only cost £20 a year, though.
The 1.5-litre diesel engine returns 78.5mpg, the 1.2-litre DIG-S petrol returns 65.7mpg and the smallest 1.2-litre petrol returns 60.1mpg. There's even an eco mode that encourages you to drive smoothly to improve your economy figures.
Nissan also offers a £199 pre-paid servicing pack, giving three years/36,000 miles of routine maintenance. It's not all good news, though, because our experts predict the new car will hold on to only 39.8 per cent of its value over three years.

No offence, but I didn't like the looks of the old car. The new looks pretty good in the way of a Kia Venga Hyundai IX-35 or Honda Jazz. The engine line-up looks fine too - all falling in low or zero VED band. Not bad for a mini-MPV.
I assume the auto has a CVT gearbox, so that takes it off my shortlist!
I have driven a couple of different cars with CVT and it's horrible!
I really like this, especially the one with the sports appearance pack. Will take a closer look when it comes out.
Notice that AE kept away from mentioning the Honda Jazz but copying is the sincerest form of flattery.
Style? Who is kidding who? It's not that much better than the old car which was awful. It seams that Renault have cascaded the most useless of their styists into Nissan - hence the "Joke" and a few others. Nissan deserves much better than this.
Personally, I preferred the look of the old one! Nissan is intent on ruining its range for some reason. After the horrendous new Micra after two series of really neat designs, and then the Hideous Juke, and now a more boring Note. I can't wait to see how they muck up the Qashqai!
'It's not that much better than the old car which was awful'
The old car was hardly 'awful'. It was quite smart looking and this new model improves on that further. You could call a mid 90's Ford Scorpio or a Ssangyong Rodius awful.
What do you drive thats so beautiful? An E-type Jag.......LOL!
I didn't find the old car awful and if it hadn't been for the Honda Jazz I may have bought one.
I prefer the looks of the new Note; I found the old one too tall and boxy. This one seems well-equipped and the DIG-S engine appears impressive.
As far as I'm aware the new Note has the same automatic gearbox as it's predecessor; only this time it's only available with the DIG-S engine.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to data packet routing in data communication networks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus of streaming data packet routing to increase data packet throughput.
2. Art Background
Computer networks are implemented for the exchange information from one location to another. The information may be data exchanged between users of the computer network, or data propagated from one user to a peripheral device such as a printer or a remote data storage location. In recent years, networking systems have spread worldwide, increasing the efficiency of users working habits by increasing the volume of information that can be exchanged almost instantaneously from one location to another. The effect has been revolutionary. Today, even person communications and document delivery are handled via electronic mail where, in the past, other means of communicating would have been required.
The proliferation of computer networks has necessitated the development of high speed and complex communications devices. One such device is the data packet router. A packet router is responsible for providing network layer functionality in local and wide area networks. This involves receiving a packet from one network, determining where the packet should be forwarded to, modifying the packet appropriately and sending it to its proper next destination. FIG. 1(a) illustrates a conventional mechanism for a packet routing engine. The packet is received and is stored into a conventional memory array 10. The contents of the data packet stored in memory device 10 are then modified in memory 10 by the modify engine 20. The modified data packet may then be forwarded by reading the data out of memory device 10. This conventional method suffers an undesirable delay due to the load and store times necessary for accessing the memory 10.
Another approach to packet routing is to modify the packet on the fly as it streams towards its destination. Vector processors, such as Cray Computers, can broadly be considered "streaming modify engines", but have not been strictly applied to data packet processing. A conceptual streaming organization is illustrated in FIG. 1(b) which illustrates a streaming packet modification engine 30 which would eliminate the load/store delay that is introduced when packets are modified in a memory. The streaming modification pipeline adds some latency to the process but adds no per packet delay which would otherwise reduce throughput. A problem that would be encountered when applying a streaming modification engine to data packet processing occurs when data in a packet to be modified is dependent on data that follows it in the packet. One example of this is the checksum in the header of an IP packet. As will be described more fully below, the checksum in some protocols may be calculated based on fields both preceding and following the checksum field in the data packet. Thus, using the streaming modify engine architecture of FIG. 1(b) for some data packets would be impossible because the checksum field cannot be forwarded to its destination until the fields following it have been examined to calculate a new checksum field.
It would be desirable, and is therefore an object of the present invention, to achieve the advantages of the packet streaming modification engine implementation for use with packets that include fields that need to be modified on the fly which are dependent on fields that may follow them in the packet.
From the forgoing, it can be appreciated that it is desirable to implement a packet streaming modification technique for data packets which include fields that may need to be modified based on the packet contents following the field to be modified. To do so will eliminate the load/store delay of conventional memory data packet routing. It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a packet streaming modify engine adapted for data packets such as those described.
This and other objects of the present invention are provided by a delayed replace mechanism utilized in a packet streaming engine. When a data field, such as the checksum field in an IP packet, is dependent upon data that follows it in the packet, a place holder with a tag is inserted in its place as data streams through the packet engine. As the data exits the engine, it is buffered in a data FIFO with the old data or dummy data in the field that will eventually be replaced with a newly calculated field. The marked field is stored with an identifier such as a tag. The data packet modify engine continues computation of the new checksum, or other field to be modified, which will eventually replace the data in the data FIFO as the remaining data fields continue to stream through the packet modify engine. The subsequent fields are also stored in the data FIFO following the place marker data. When the packet modify engine completes computation of the replacement field, the result is buffered in a replace FIFO.
A FIFO control logic reads the data out of the data FIFO and forwards it to its destination. If the FIFO control logic encounters the place holder identifier, it attempts to retrieve data from the replace FIFO. If the replace data is not yet available, the FIFO control logic delays until the replace data is ready. When the replace data is available, the FIFO control logic forces the data in the replace FIFO to overwrite the place holder data from the data FIFO while continuing transmission of the rest of the packet. Thus, the data may be processed as though it were packet streaming, without having to delay for load and store requests to a conventional memory array.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the above packet streaming modification may be extended. In this extension, rather than a FIFO for the replace data, a fast memory such as a static random access memory (SRAM) device may be implemented. By using a replace storage device with multiple entries, it is possible to provide for data packets in which multiple fields in random order may need to recalculated on the fly that are dependent on subsequent data in the data packet. Further, this allows packet fields to have their locations exchanged in the output packet in accordance with alternative data packet protocols. In accordance with this embodiment of the present invention, the data storage device would also store, in addition to a place marker and an identification, the address in a the replace SRAM where the replace data is stored.
The objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in light of the following detailed description in which:
FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) illustrate a prior art packet routing technique and a conceptual packet streaming organization, respectively.
FIG. 2 represents an exemplary data packet for which the contents of one embedded field within the packet is dependent upon fields both preceding and following it within the data packet.
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention for a streaming packet modification engine which allows for the modification of data packets which include a field that is dependent upon fields following it within the data packet.
FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the present invention for packet streaming where multiple fields in random order may be modified.
A method and apparatus are described for a delayed replace mechanism for data packet routing using a streaming packet modification engine. Throughout this detailed description, numerous references are made to specific details such as particular packet protocols and buffer types. However, it will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without such specific details and may in fact be applied to numerous applications where data streaming is desirable. In addition, many well-known elements, devices, process steps and the like are not set forth in detail in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates the data packet organization for a data packet format constructed in accordance with the internet protocol (IP). The IP packet 100 is shown with its two major constituents, a header section 102 and a data payload section 104. The header section 102 of the IP packet 100 includes a Checksum field 110 which is calculated based on the entire contents of the header section 102. As the data packet is routed from point to point between its origin and ultimate destination, various fields in the header may vary. For example, the TTL (time to live) field is decremented at every step by every router that forwards the packet. Other fields may change such as the FRAG offset field and possibly the length fields. Of particular importance here are fields like the Checksum field which may change at each hop due to changes in the entire data packet header. Note that the Checksum field is embedded within the header with subsequent data being utilized in determining the value of the Checksum field. Note also that the address fields may change based on the value of fields in the options portion of the header. It is these fields within the header that may change based on values following them within the packet that are of concern to the present invention. See "Internetworking with TCP/IP", Volume I, Prentice Hall, by Douglas E. Comer for a description of calculating a Checksum.
In accordance with routing an IP data packet under the conventional architecture as illustrated in prior art FIG. 1(a), a packet would be received by a router and stored in the memory device 10. The contents of the Checksum field would be calculated based on the entire contents of the header section 102 and modified in place in the memory 10 at the direction of the modify engine 20. The packet would then be retrieved from the memory 10 and forwarded to the next destination. The conceptual packet streaming organization illustrated in FIG. 1(b) would be incapable of handling a conventional IP data packet because the contents of the Checksum field 110 and other fields are dependent upon fields following it within the header section 102. Thus, the present invention is provided to allow for a packet streaming technique suitable even for data packets that adhere to a protocol in which embedded fields may be dependent upon fields following them within the packet.
Referring now to FIG. 3 there is shown one embodiment of the delayed replace mechanism of the present invention. In this embodiment, streaming data packets are received through the packet modify engine 130. The, packet modify engine 130 implemented for receiving IP data packets will include logic such that when the Checksum field is reached, certain procedures are undertaken. In general, as a data packet streams into the packet modify engine, the output is temporarily buffered in the data FIFO 140. However, when the Checksum field for an IP data packet reaches the packet modify engine, the data written into the data FIFO 140 may include dummy data or the old Checksum value. In addition, an identifier or tag is stored in the data FIFO 140 indicating the presence of a Checksum field or other field to be overwritten upon transmission.
When the packet modify engine 130 of the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 3 begins receiving a data packet, it begins the calculations necessary for calculating a new Checksum field. These calculations continue until the entire header portion 102 of the IP data packet has been received. The packet modify engine then completes calculating the new Checksum and stores the result in a replace FIFO 150.
Data packets are streamed out of the apparatus under the direction of the FIFO control logic 160. The FIFO control logic 160 instructs the data FIFO 140 to begin outputting the data packet to be forwarded through multiplexing logic 165. The tagged field within the data FIFO that indicates the Checksum field provides a control signal to both the multiplexing logic 165 and the FIFO control logic 160 instructing those units that the field to be replaced is next to be propagated from the data FIFO. In response to this control signal, the FIFO control logic 160 instructs the replace FIFO 150 to provide the result data through the multiplexing logic 165 into the reserved space of the data packet being streamed out of the data FIFO 140. If the FIFO control logic 160 determines that the replace data is not yet available, it delays the transmission until the data is present in the replace FIFO 150. When the replace data is available, it overwrites the place holder within the data in the data FIFO with the value from the replace FIFO and continues with streaming the data out of the apparatus.
The mechanism of FIG. 3 thus allows for data streaming of data packets in which a field may be modified based on data following it within the same data packet. This eliminates the need for load and store accesses to a conventional memory array such as in the prior art.
FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is conceived that multiple fields in random or non-sequential order in a streaming data packet may need to be replaced or swapped. And this instance, the replace FIFO 150 is omitted in favor of a replace static random access memory (SRAM device) 200. The data FIFO 140 is omitted in favor of data FIFO 210 which in addition to storing data and tags for the fields to be replaced, also maintains an address field for identifying an address within the replace SRAM 200 for populating the reserved spaces of data being streamed into the data FIFO 210. The FIFO/SRAM control logic 220 of FIG. 4 responds to a control signal from the tag fields in the data FIFO and reads an appropriate entry in the replace SRAM 200 for overwriting the reserved space in the data upon outputting through the multiplexing logic 165.
This alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 is suitable for streaming data packets in which more then one field needs to be recalculated for replacement upon output through the multiplexing logic 165. In addition, through appropriate configuration of the FIFO/SRAM control logic 220, the alternative embodiment of FIG. 4 can be used to swap the position of fields streamed out of the engine. In this regard, the fields to be swapped would each be stored in the replace SRAM 200 with their addresses and tags marked in the data FIFO 210. A similar mechanism for controlling the FIFO/SRAM control logic would then be implemented for controlling the output of the replace SRAM to write the two fields into their swapped positions upon output. Those of ordinary skill in the art will conceive alternative uses for such an embodiment.
Although the present invention has been described in terms of data packet routing it should be understood that the delayed replace mechanism of the present invention may find application in other areas of data processing, such as in a vector microprocessor wherein it is desirable to modify pieces of data on the fly wherein the contents of one piece of data may be dependent upon a subsequent piece of data. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should only be determined in light of the claims which follow.

Notes: The Tigers make return to Memorial Field, looking for their first win in Gallipolis since 2008. Marietta has given up at least 20 points in every game this season. The Tigers were shutout last week for the first time since week nine of last season. Marietta finished 1-9 last season with its lone win coming in the season opener. The Blue Devil defense made stellar halftime adjustments last week shutting out Fairland in the second half. The 63 points scored by GAHS is the most since the 63 they scored against Marietta last season. Last week's 101 combined points is the most in a GAHS game ever. Senior quarterback Wade Jarrell has had an incredible start to the season, scoring seven touchdowns on the ground, while passing for seven more. Since MHS left the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League following the 2010 season the Tigers are 0-5 against SEOAL teams including a week two loss to Warren. GAHS is 22-4 against Marietta all-time including 2-0 in non-league games. The Blue Devils hold a 782-to-320 scoring advantage against the Tigers all-time. This is the first road game of the season for MHS after hosting Morgan, Warren and Williamstown. This is the fourth and final game of the Blue Devils home stand that begun the year.

Last Week: Eastern lost to Wahama 54-0 in Tuppers Plains; Waterford lost to Fort Frye 47-0 in Waterford.

EHS Defense Last Week: 328 rushing yards, 196 passing yards.
Notes: Two teams trying to put week three behind them will meet at East Shade River Stadium Friday night. The Eagles and Wildcats were both shutout last week, for Waterford it is the second straight shutout loss. The Eagles, who haven't lost back-to-back games since 2011 will try to win in front of the Green and Gold faithful for the first time this season. This is the first road game of the year for Waterford. Dating back to 2001 the series is tied at six wins apiece; also the home team in the series has a 6-6 record. The road team has won three straight in the series. Waterford holds a 275-224 scoring advantage over the last 12 seasons. The last time the Wildcats were in East Shade River Stadium was 2011 when they won 20-12. Last season Eastern outgained WHS 492-to-113 in total yards en route to the Eagles third biggest win. For the Wildcats, last year's loss to Eastern was in the middle of their five-game losing skid. For Eastern, the win sparked a season high three-game winning streak.
Southern Tornadoes (3-0, 2-0) at Federal Hocking Lancers (2-1, 1-0)
Last Week: Southern defeated Belpre 19-0 in Racine; Federal Hocking defeated Hannan 60-0 in Stewart.
Last meeting between the teams: September 14th, 2012 Federal Hocking won 14-7 in Racine.
Current head-to-head streak: Federal hocking has won two straight.
SHS Offense Last Week: 245 rushing yards, 50 passing yards.
FHHS Offense Last Week: 284 rushing yards, 37 passing yards.
SHS Offensive Leaders Last Week: QB Tristen Wolfe 3-of-9, 50 yards, INT; RB Tyler Barton 25 carries, 139 yards, 3TDs; WR Hunter Johnson 2 catches, 36 yards.
FHHS Offensive Leaders Last Week: QB Philip Hoffman 4-of-5, 37 yards; RB Delbert Crum 5 carries, 145 yards, 3TDs; WR Alfie Nichols 3 catches, 11 yards.
SHS Defense Last Week: 18 rushing yards, 59 passing yards.
FHHS Defense Last Week: N/A.
Notes: The Tornadoes have a chance to improve to 4-0 Friday night, when they travel to Stewart. It has been since the 2009 season that Southern has won four games in a row. The SHS defense has allowed just six points this season. South Gallia is the lone team to score against Southern this season. The Purple and Gold have allowed just 385 total yards in three games this season. Since losing to Alexander 38-14 in week one the Lancers have outscored opponents 100-0. This is the first of two trips to Athens County for the Tornadoes; Southern hasn't won there since October 2, 2009. This is Federal Hocking's second of three straight home games. Southern is on the road for the third time this season. Last season's 14-7 FHHS victory is the lowest scoring matchup between these teams in over 10 years. Since 2001 Federal Hocking holds a 9-3 record against SHS and has outscored the Tornadoes by an average of 24 points a game.
River Valley Raiders (0-3) at Nelsonville-York Buckeyes (1-2)
Last Week: River Valley lost to Meigs 56-7 in Rocksprings; Nelsonville-York defeated Berne Union 44-21 in Nelsonville.
Last meeting between the teams: September 14th, 2012 Nelsonville-York won 51-12 in Bidwell.

NYHS Defense Last Week: 51 rushing yards, 170 passing yards.
Notes: The Raiders take to the road and face a TVC Ohio opponent for the second straight week as they travel to Nelsonville-York. Last week's 49 point defeat marked the worst Raiders loss since falling to Rock Hill 56-6 in the final game of the 2009 season. The only RVHS touchdown last week came on a Austin Bradley kickoff return. The Buckeyes earned their first win of the season last week by dominating Berne Union. NYHS held a 61-to-35 advantage in offensive plays, a 23-to-11 edge in first downs and a 489-to-221 advantage in total yards. Nelsonville-York began the year with back-to-back losses for the second consecutive loss. The Buckeyes, who missed out on the playoffs last year for the first time since 2009, are hosting RVHS for the first time since 2006. The last time RVHS defeated the Buckeyes was 2003 by a count of 18-7 in Cheshire. In the five games since then NYHS has outscored the Raiders 225-44. Nelsonville-York has eclipsed the 40 point mark in each of those contests. This is the second consecutive road game for the Raiders, who return to Bidwell for a three-game home stand following this game. This is the second in a span of three home games for the Buckeyes. The last time River Valley has defeated a TVC Ohio opponent was 2007, when the Raiders topped Alexander 29-7 in Cheshire.

Last Week: South Gallia lost to Trimble 48-0 in Glouster; Miller defeated Millersport 20-0 in Millersport.

MHS Offensive Leaders Last Week: QB Garrett Sinift 7-of-10, 66 yards; RB Lane Mulford 22 carries, 131 yards,TD; WR Austin Doughty 3 catches, 48 yards.
SGHS Defense Last Week: 257 rushing yards, 131 passing yards.
MHS Defense Last Week: N/A.
Notes: A pair of Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division teams will look to improve to .500 Friday night as the Rebels travel to Hemlock. Last week's loss was the Rebels first shutout since week six of last season. The Rebels haven't been shutout more than once in a season since 2008. Miller is coming off its first shutout win since the 2002 season when the Falcons blanked Southern 8-0. The Falcons haven't won back-to-back games since the 2010 campaign. South Gallia's four-game winning streak over Miller was snapped last season but the Rebels still hold a 6-3 edge since 2001.SGHS has outscored the Falcons 169-131 in that time period. September 21, 2001 was the last time Miller shutout the Rebels (29-0), while SGHS scored its last shutout win over the Hemlock natives on September 23, 2005 (8-0). 2001 was the last time the Rebels lost in Hemlock.

On Wednesday (April 2nd) me and Tom from the ASP.NET Debugging Blog will co-host a live blog chat on our blogs where you can ask questions about ASP.NET and Debugging with windbg and sos.
The chat client will be hosted on our blogs for an hour starting at 10 AM EST (Eastern Standard Time) /4 PM CET (Central European Time) so you can just browse to either http://blogs.msdn.com/Tess or http://blogs.msdn.com/Tom to attend and ask any questions you want about ASP.NET and debugging with windbg and sos.dll.
We will both host the exact same chat so the questions and answers will appear on both blogs simultaneously.
Because of time differences we will probably miss some people from Asia and the western regions of the US but if it turns out well we will probably host more of these sessions at other times that fit these regions better.
Feel free to drop a note if you are interested in attending this chat session or future ones in other time-zones so we can gauge a little bit what the interest looks like, and also if there are specific topics that you would like us to discuss.
Have fun and see you there...
How do i debug a C# project in VS 2005 as the dll which is built is called by a CMS (sitecore).
Is it possible to change the output of the project to generate the dll into the bin folder of the CMS. I want to put breakpoints in the project and debug it.
I have a setup of the the cms on my local machine and the bin folder is where the compiled dll is copied to.
How can i link to the cms bin folder dll and debug from visual studio 2005. Is there any other way i could do it.
Email: email@example.com
I should mention that the chat will be about debugging with windbg and sos rather than with visual studio, I havent debugged in visual studio for a while but you should be able to just attach to the process that your dll is loaded from and load up the relevant files and set breakpoints if i remember correctly.
je cherche emploi che vous mr ok!
how can i load a asp form in a page with ajax?
cause when i do it as press button i have error

Hi Ramtin, if you are interested in the job in france please apply at http://members.microsoft.com/careers/international/default.aspx?loc=FRA&lang=FR&job=90537162&newapp=0
Even if you dont live in France, but somewhere else in Europe, please feel free to apply to it anyways. We are still in the process of employing someone to the IIS/ASP.NET support position in France.
Thank you,
Thanks for a chance to have a face to face talk.
It will be good if it is repeated a few times.

Sentimental Journey
by Donald Kuspit
Modigliani: Beyond the Myth, May 21-Sept. 19, 2004, at the Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10128
Amedeo Modigliani is usually regarded as a minor modernist, more or less interesting but beside the avant-garde point. Indeed, even though he developed in a Cubist milieu, he never became a Cubist. He flattened his figures, but he never fragmented them. They remained intact, and even convincingly rounded, as the caryatids show: Modiglianis figures are not the sum of destructions that Picasso said his were. Modigliani never violates them, and never suggests that they have violent tendencies. He gave his figures the long African mask nose of those in Picassos
Les demoiselles dAvignon
-- he saw the painting in Picassos studio in the Bateau-Lavoir in 1907, the year it was made, and was amazed by it -- but his figures are composed, even serene, if sometimes melancholy, compared to Picassos.
Bust of a Young Woman
, painted in 1911, the heyday of Picassos Analytic Cubist portraits, has nothing in common with them. Where Picasso dissects the figure, with almost nihilistic abandon, Modiglianis paint gently massages it, bringing it to emotional life. He once portrayed Picasso, a close friend for a while -- Picasso could never remain close to anyone, once he got what he needed from them; indeed, he seemed incapable of intimacy and reciprocity, the key issues of Modiglianis portraits and nudes -- but he never accepted Picassos aggressive idea of art.
Picasso once said he wanted to annihilate the figure, but stopped himself from doing so. The result, as he said, was a caricature of it, nominally and (ironically) recognizable as a particular person but otherwise a formal construction. The more the figure became one, the more it lost human presence, finally becoming a kind of absence or ghost in the formal machine of the picture.
In contrast, for Modigliani form was a way of expressing what is innate in human nature rather than an intellectual end in itself. As he wrote in a 1907 sketchbook, What I am searching for is neither the real nor the unreal, but the Subconscious, the mystery of what is Instinctive in the human Race.
For Modigliani, art was not autobiography, as Picasso famously said his was, but an instrument -- even form -- of salvation. In 1913 Modigliani wrote: Just as the snake slithers out of its skin So you will deliver yourself from sin Equilibrium by means of opposite extremes. In a sense, Modiglianis portraits attempt to deliver his sitters from sin by balancing the opposing instinctive forces in them. This is the esthetic achievement of art -- in contrast to life, where the opposites are rarely if ever in equilibrium.
Esthetically balancing the emotional opposites that remain at odds in life, the portraits save the sitter from his or her unbalanced life. There is always a tensing hint of the unbalanced or unresolved in Modiglianis portraits -- the precariousness of the heads on the pedestals of his often elongated necks suggests as much -- but the over-all effect is one of relaxed harmony. For Modigliani esthetic equilibrium was as close to eternity as it was possible to come on earth. Certainly it afforded the only stability he had in his own unstable life.
If representation is an acknowledgement of sinful appearance -- it seems especially evident in his odalisques of 1916-17 -- then Modiglianis formalizing tendency, perhaps most obvious in the limestone heads of women of 1911-13, shows his determination to save the sexual sinner from herself: he has transcendentalized her appearance, as though to suggest that she is an otherworldly being or in an otherworldly state of mind. The difference between the sensual reclining nudes and the spiritualized heads -- between the earthbound horizontality of the former and the aspirational verticality of the latter -- signifies Modiglianis own contradictory attitude to woman. It is the familiar difference between impulsive profane and contemplative sacred love: woman is either all exhibitionistic animal body or all soul and interiority -- either inviting femme fatale courtesan, representing the doom of submitting to ones instincts, or a goddess with the saving gracefulness of a serious mind.
The heads suggest that Modigliani used abstraction to defend against his desire for woman -- futilely, as his apparently constant womanizing suggests. Succumbing to temptation in endless pursuit of love, he felt he had sinned, that is, betrayed himself -- perhaps because he received sex rather than love, at least until the end of his life, when he met Jeanne Hébuterne, who committed suicide when he died, and who is buried beside him. The voluptuous nudes stare at the spectator seductively, promising -- indeed, embodying -- guiltless pleasure, in contrast to the (usually) closed eyes of the sculpted heads, suggesting that they are meditating on higher things than their bodies. Indeed, they have none, as though they have risen above and discarded them, unlike the full-bodied odalisques, who are (justifiably) proud of their flesh, displayed in the full bloom of youth. The odalisques and the heads epitomize the core conflict of Modiglianis art and life.
His cartyatids have the bodies of his painted nudes and the heads of his limestone sculptures, suggesting that he was able, however briefly, to reconcile the opposites -- that is, the sensual and the spiritual.
But both heads and nudes are similar in that they are conspicuously human, however much they may be formally solemnized. This is especially true of the portraits: the humanness of the figures is on display. The abstract form Modigliani tends to give them is a kind of monstrance, magically essentializing them. Their humanness is transfigured by an act of esthetic devotion. The portraits of the art dealer Paul Guillaume and the painter Moise Kisling (both 1915) seem more bizarrely alive than
Beatrice Hastings in Front of a Door
(1915) and Victoria in
Portrait of a Girl
(ca. 1917), two of Modiglianis girlfriends, but they are all profoundly and vulnerably human.
Modigliani was indeed a peintre maudit (like his friends Kisling and Chaim Soutine), but the people he portrayed are also subtly cursed by suffering, whatever their social prominence. It is Modiglianis ability to bring out the all too human in the pompously human -- for example, in the Paul Guillaume of the 1915 Novo Pilota portrait -- that makes his figures emotionally seductive, empathically attaching us to them the way Modigliani seems to have been. For Modigliani, paint is the empathic matrix in which the suffering figure exists, even as its schematic form gives it a spiritual aura that seems to reconcile it to its suffering, or at least works like a charm against the curse of suffering that contaminates life. Stoically self-contained, Modiglianis figures seem to have mastered tragedy, however tragic they look.
I am arguing that Modigliani rehumanized what Picasso dehumanized, as Jos Ortega y Gasset famously argued. Or rather Modigliani refused to dehumanize the figure in the name of form, that is, to achieve a formal rigor that seems superior to the informal figure and more artistically authentic by reason of its supposed autonomy. For Modigliani form was a way of bringing out and accenting inner human qualities, rather than some intriguing pure thing in itself. Austerity of form was a betrayal of the feeling of being human -- and the feelings human beings had -- for Modigliani.
The dictatorial idea of absolute art was inimical to his libertine instincts and spiritual ambition. It was a betrayal of the imaginative potential of art, falsifying it by implying that it had no transformational effect on human beings and nothing to do with the human condition.
Ortega observed that there was a ban on pathos in Cubism, but Modigliani lifted the ban, or rather refused to accept it just as he refused to accept the dehumanization of human form. He has been said to be a failure as a modernist because he was attracted to the Old Masters -- Clement Greenberg said the same thing of Soutine -- but the Old Masters represent pathos and humanness, and pathos -- the pathos of being human -- was what Modigliani and Soutine were after. Greenberg thought Soutine failed because he had excess feeling, but I think that both he and Modigliani achieved a new equilibration of feeling without denying the extremes of its intensity.
This fusion of traditional humanism and modernist formalism is their innovation, one perhaps more important than purely formalist innovation, for it showed that pure forms have human relevance. Indeed, in their different ways Modigliani and Soutine successfully adapted modernist means to the expression of archetypal feelings, explicitly showing, as the Old Masters never did, that feelings are rooted in instinct even as they make one conscious of oneself -- a service to consciousness and selfhood that is spiritual in import.
(I think Greenberg was disturbed by the disruptive sense of the tragic in Soutine, preferring instead, as he said, decorative unity. It is also well-known that Greenberg eschewed spirituality in favor of materiality -- he thought the former was an incidental and irrelevant byproduct of the latter [the supposedly strictly material facts of art] -- which I want to suggest is part of what he himself called his Jewish self-hatred. The paradox of the Jews is that they are a pure spiritual people -- the people who discovered the oneness or unity of God or the sacred -- who have been forced to become materialists to survive in a world that however much it yeasays spirituality refuses to accept the control of instinct that is a sign and proof of being truly human, that is, a spiritual being. Spiritual consciousness in fact brings with it a sense of the oneness or unity of self that the instinctive never affords. Pagan religions, which are purely instinctive, randomly -- promiscuously -- find the sacred in an endless variety of objects [animal, vegetable, and mineral], suggesting that they lack a concept of unitary selfhood and the concentration of purpose that comes with it. These are exactly what one finds in Modiglianis figures: they are always one with themselves and resonate with a sense of existential purpose.)
Modigliani had too much respect for the feelings of human beings to turn them into grotesque, hostile monsters, as Picasso did. It is also the reason Modiglianis figures are never menacing and confrontational, but seem to recede into the private space of their inner selves -- this is true I think even of the odalisques -- where they become aware of and at one with their complex feelings. In contrast, Picassos demoiselles have only one mindless feeling -- rage. I think they enact the rage hidden in the melancholy figures of Picassos Blue and Pink period paintings. This rage finally consumes the Analytic Cubist figures, confirming their inherent negativity. Thus the outrageousness of Picassos death-informed figures has as much to do with their symbolization of life-negating rage as with their outrageous forms.
Compared to the sensitively rendered vitality of Modiglianis figures -- even his schematization of their faces makes them seem more exquisitely alive than their natural features would -- Picassos demoiselles are puppets in a Grand Guignol theater. Their bodies are flattened like stage props and they wear African masks as though to frighten us. In contrast, the mask-like faces of Modiglianis figures gives them a meditative cast, and their bodies never lose their organic verisimilitude however stylized. Modigliani cherishes the human figure, while Picasso seems contemptuous of it, brutally distorting it to fit into a formal Procrustean bed, as though to deny its inherent appeal and our natural curiosity and spontaneous empathy for it, even our unconscious identification with it. Thus, compared to the black humor and harsh form of Picassos Cubist figure, Modiglianis figure looks traditional and sentimental, even when it has a certain dynamic, like the caryatids. But then their arabesque bodies look tame -- facilely harmonious and suave -- next to Picassos wild demoiselles.
Nonetheless, Modiglianis humaneness gave him access to his sitters feelings, no doubt partly by way of projective identification, but also by way of a larger awareness of the human condition. He did not simply aggrandize figures as tropes for some one-dimensional feeling, as Picasso did. Modigliani saw through people to the pathos within them, transforming their appearance just enough to convey it, without destroying their dignity, as Picasso did. Where did Modiglianis sensitivity to others -- his respectful response to human beings, whether at their most sensually exciting, as in the odalisques, or at their saddest, as in
The Jewess
(1908) -- come from? His Jewishness. Modigliani was a Sephardic Jew with mystical inclinations, as has been argued, but I want to emphasize the moral rather than mystical side of Modiglianis Jewishness. The mystical is secondary to the moral in his art, however evident it may be in his limestone heads. Just as Chagalls Jewishness led him to maintain a sense of moral commitment while working in a modernist manner -- he even integrated them, as Meyer Schapiro argued in his essay on Chagalls
Illustrations for the Bible
, a rare feat because of modernisms tendency to idealize form at the expense of the human and communal -- so Modiglianis Jewishness gave him an enduring respect for human experience that gave him the esthetic strength to resist its subsumption, not to say complete submergence, in the experience of form, which is exactly what occurred in Cubism.
I submit that for Modigliani and Soutine the Old Masters were wise Old Jews, knowledgeable about the world without sacrificing their spirituality to it. Indeed, the Old Masters, who often dealt with Biblical themes, symbolize the antiquity of Judaism, which originates further back in time -- almost at the beginning of time if one is to believe the Old Testament -- than Greek antiquity, and thus is more fundamentally human. The Jewish sense of the human is ancient compared to modernist formalism (which is inherently short-lived by reason of its limited goals): why should the latter take precedence over the former, rather than vice versa? Thus Modiglianis and Soutines love of the Old Masters suggests their nostalgic Jewishness, indeed, their refusal to deny their Jewishness in modern society -- in anti-Semitic Paris, barely recovered from the Dreyfus affair (1906). For Modigliani and Soutine there was clearly more to lose by abandoning their Jewish roots than to gain by becoming modernists.
It is noteworthy that Chagall, Modigliani and Soutine -- all the peintres maudits -- have been called sentimentalists, but if so they are not as cursed as they have been said to be. Sentimentality may seem like softness and naivet, but then the hardness and coldness of formalism suggests failed humanity. And prudery: what is more puritan than Malevichs anhedonic square? It is absence disguised as presence -- a hollow godhead misrepresented as a cosmic essence. It has become an academic symbol of modernism, suggesting that it was never sacrosanct to begin with. But what is sentimentality? It signals the need for love -- and both Chagall and Modigliani are among the few modern masters who admit to the need and attempt to represent love (not simply sexuality, as Picasso does), and who even manage to convey a loving attitude to the human subject (as Picasso rarely does) -- however stymied the need, ironically by the needy sentimentalist himself.
The psychoanalyst Edgar Levenson defines sentimentality as an investment in emotion as an experience, rather than a transaction. The sentimentalist wishes to feel loving, to experience himself as a loving person, rather than to love someone. It is love in the intransitive state.* The sentimentalist is a narcissist, as Levenson says, more interested in the sensation of loving than in actually loving someone in particular. Don Juan is a sentimentalist, unable to sustain a relationship with the women he has sex with, let alone to love them and care for them (like Picasso). If this is true, Chagall was never a sentimentalist, as his marriage to Bella indicates, but a true lover.
In contrast, Modigliani was a desperate Don Juan, reluctant to become involved in the complex interpersonal transaction that love is, although shortly before his death he was finally able to love a woman in all her particularity and be loved in return. Until then, he seemed to confuse sex and love, but I would contend, on the evidence of the intimacy that emanates from his portraits, he had great capacity for the reciprocity of love. But he clearly loved better in his art than he did in his life, if the issue of love is to unite tenderness and lust (and maybe tilt more toward the former than the latter) as Freud thought.
One may recall that the first commandment requires one to love God -- love is the important human word here. It is a moral injunction: loving God one comes to love the human beings who are Gods creation. To love human beings means that one does not destroy them, even in the name of art, as Picasso does. It may seem absurd to say so, but in a sense from a Jewish point of view his formal analysis of the figure is a crime against humanity. It cannot help reminding a Jew -- Modigliani -- however unconsciously of the persecution of the Jews and their dehumanization and distortion into grotesque devils. It may be artistically progressive and revelatory, but it is also humanly regressive and malevolent. I submit that Modiglianis art is a loving Jewish art -- certainly in contrast to Picassos Cubism, which is a loveless and at times a hate-filled art -- which is why it has been regarded as a minor art, for those who love and who are Jewish (even if they fail at love and are not the most religious Jews) are in the minority in the world.

Britney, Survivor
Pop-star Spears in talks for a Holocaust movie
Britney Spears' career has taken a new curious turn with word she's in negotiations to star in a movie titled The Yellow Star of Sophia and Eton. "Britney will reportedly play the main role of Sophia LaMont, who creates a time machine and travels back to World War II where she meets a Jewish man called Eton at a concentration camp," reports the National Ledger, which broke the news yesterday.
It's quite the pitch, even before you try to imagine the Crossroads star in a lead role. But Tablet has gotten hold of a top-secret script treatment, direct from Hollywood. Here's how the movie will go (or so we'd like to think):
Sophia's time machine lands in the camp's shower room. Water's not coming out of those shower heads, of course, but because she's in an air-tight vehicle, our heroine is safe. Her hair shaved off by a disturbingly sexy German soldier (negotiations are underway for Madonna to take the role), Sophia is interrogated under an austere hanging lightbulb. She defies the torture, crying out, "Hit me, baby! One more time!" Then, she faints from exhaustion. While passed out, Sophia dreams of her older sister, Lina LaMont, and, in her reverie, starts singing in the rain, splashing, and, yes, grinding in the muddy puddles of the camp while belting out an auto-tunes enhanced version of "Here Comes the Rain Again."
Meantime, Eton (Adrien Brody is eager to play the part, we heard), cursed with a name that looks like that of a British prep school but is pronounced Eitan, knows he shouldn't fall for Sophia, because she's not from the old world. Eton's father, a dairy farmer from Anatevka, mumbles something about tradition. Eton's not hearing it. Sophia's hawt! And she's got a time machine! And maybe these crazy kids can get out alive! (Cue an above-middle-C piano version of "Stayin' Alive"). Sadly for the doomed lovers, Nazis like time machines as much as anybody, and this particular group of villains really wants to check out the city of Porto, circa the Inquisition. They foil the lovers' plans for escape (cleverly anchoring the time machine with chains), and kill the heroes. Sophia lets out a final farewell as she takes her last breath. "Auf wiedersehen, y'all."

The Asus GeForce GTX 580 graphics card is a factory-overclocked version of the nVidia GeForce GTX 580, launched in a bid to retain the performance crown.
Our colleagues at PC World India put the Asus GeForce GTX 580 graphics card through its paces in their benchmarking labs. Here's how the GTX 580 got on.
Asus GeForce GTX 580 performance
To prevent bottle-necks as much as possible, the test-bed consisted of an Intel Core i7 965 processor, Intel DX58SO motherboard, Intel X25-M 80GB SSD, 3GB of Kingston DDR3-2000MHz HyperX RAM, Tagan BZ-1300W PSU and Windows 7 Ultimate. We used the latest driver available at the time of testing for the Asus GeForce GTX 580 - nVidia ForceWare v262.99 WHQL.
The graphs here show only performance numbers as seen at the default speeds set by Asus, and selected from a wider set of tests conducted. To put the results in context and help you compare, we juxtapose its benchmark scores with two other top-end graphics cards. These are the previous generation card, MSI GeForce GTX 480 Lightning, and the dual-GPU Radeon 5970 from the opposing camp.
Below is a graph of how the Asus GeForce GTX 580 graphics card fared in synthetic benchmarks:
Below is a graph of the Asus GeForce GTX 580's gaming performance seen in higher-end usage patterns.
Among the top-end cards chosen for temperature comparison, the Asus GTX 580 ran relatively cool in normal gaming patterns. However, FurMark pushes it to the brink such that the temperature cut-off kicks in, so you see such a high temperature at full load. Notably, the Asus GeForce GTX 580 refused to become as noisy as the other cards, preferring to run a higher temperature instead (which we presume it is engineered to tolerate for long periods of time).

Nilar: I got a chance luckily....!
I had Chicken biriyani from this restaurant. It is really tasty and combination is a little bit different from South Indian style. Chicken is prepared very nicely although some may feel excess oil. All together I loved it. Combination was Briyani + Potato Soup+ green chilly + finely sliced cabage
Favorite Dish: I decided to visit this restaurant again and will update about other dishes

Nilar Biryani restaurant.: Great, cheap biryani.
If you are in downtown Yangon (Rangoon) and want an extremely filling and inexpensive lunch (it doesn't stay open too late) you could do a lot worse than this place. For a mere 800 kyat (about 80cents US) you get a large plate of biryani (various types available), umlimited dhal and a selection of condiments. i have to say the lime pickle was the best I have ever tasted anywhere, and that includes India and the stuff I made myself!
No alcohol is served but there is a selection of soft drinks available.
The place is always packed and the service is quick and friendly. Certainly no frills but a great deal.
Favorite Dish: Mutton biryani - delicious.

Little and large: two performance Fords hit LA
Another classic feature from the last 20 years of TG mag: can a 'world car' work for passionate performance sub-brands?
Posted: 18 Oct 2013
Then, just as you've got used to that, the corners tighten and ask more. And the Fiesta answers. This is where the little Ford suddenly burns bright. The standard Fiesta always felt like it could handle significantly more power, and 180bhp really isn't enough to trouble it unduly. This 1.6-litre all-aluminium four-cylinder EcoBoost features direct injection and a low-inertia turbocharger to cut lag, and there's an 'overboost' feature under full load that can pump peak power up to 195-ish bhp, but it also has twin independent variable-cam timing to fatten delivery while maintaining efficiency. It's linear and strong, but never particularly characterful. In fact, it tends to change tone, but not pitch, meaning that it enters the cabin as a pleasantly encouraging drone rather than anything notable. Similarly, you can hear the faint sneeze of a dump valve in there somewhere, but it's very much in the background. It's not particularly... naughty. And you have to work it. There may be 214lb ft available - and the ST will pull smoothly on the motorway from remarkably low revs in high gears - but it's not a car that you can leave to itself and hope for the best.

When the new DT rules were "enacted", we agreed to have a one month trial period on the allowance of non-debates. Has it been a month yet?
I was firmly in the "I hate them, but they shouldn't be banned camp", however, with how things have been over the last couple of weeks I have totally done a 180 and think that they need to be banned.
I also think that we need to implement tighter rules on LGBT threads, like we've done with race and religion threads.
What say the rest of you?
ETA; there are two comments on page one that you can hug, based on what you want to see done about non-debates going forward.

Crash on Highway 273 in Anderson kills one, injures two
A fiery collision on Highway 273 in Anderson on Wednesday night killed a 39-year-old man and sent two others to the hospital.
The person killed was identified as Jeremy Wilcockson, officer Robert Modin of the Anderson Police Department said. Wilcockson's place of residence is not known.
Jon Hookham, 40, of Redding, and Aaron Brockman, 35, of Shasta Lake, were injured in the wreck. Hookham was in fair condition this morning at Mercy Medical Center. Brockman was treated and released, a nursing supervisor said.
The crash was reported just before 10 p.m. at Highway 273 and Third Street. Callers reported that one vehicle was on fire.
When Anderson police arrived, California Highway Patrol officers were extinguishing the fire.
The initial investigation indicates Wilcockson was east on Third Street at a red light when he pulled into the path of a red Dodge pickup, which was coming south on 273. The pickup struck the BMW, Modin said.
Wilcockson died at the scene.
Modin said in his release that there are no preliminary indications that alcohol was a factor in the wreck.
Highway 273 was closed for about three hours as authorities completed their investigation.
