InsuranceCalculator.net Now Provides Competitive Car Insurance Quotes To Tennessee Drivers
Drivers in Tennessee can now use InsuranceCalculator.net to find and compare car insurance quotes from various auto insurance providers in Tennessee. It is free to use and quotes are displayed in a matter of seconds.
(PRWEB) June 15, 2012
InsuranceCalculator.net has partnered with car insurance companies in Tennessee to help consumers save money on car insurance quotes. Drivers can simply navigate to the website, enter in their zip code, and quotes from local insurance companies will be displayed in a matter of seconds. It is required by law for drivers to have at least liability coverage in Tennessee.
"We aim to help drivers in Tennessee to save money on car insurance," Jason, CEO of InsuranceCalculator.net explains. "Our system can provide quotes from multiple companies quickly so you can compare with ease."
Drivers in Tennessee need car insurance. According to the latest research from USA Census (http://www.census.gov), The state of Tennessee has an average vehicle theft rate of 233 of every 100,000 cars. Last year, Tennessee had an average fatality rate of 1.41% where 65% of all deaths were from road way accidents. (16% occurred at intersections and 10% involved trucks)
Tennessee has an average cost of only $1,368. "It doesn't hurt to compare," Jason added. "But if you don't, you may be missing out on hundreds of dollars in savings."
In addition to car insurance, consumers in Tennessee can also use InsuranceCalculator.net to obtain home, health, and life insurance quotes. Obtaining and comparing insurance quotes on InsuranceCalculator.net is the most efficient and easiest option to reduce the cost on Insurance in Tennessee.

Kollam city would be developed to the standards of an international city with a Chandni Chowk-model commercial complex if the Left Democratic Front (LDF) is voted back to power, states a 24-page election manifesto for Kollam City Corporation released by LDF on Tuesday.
The complex will be a trade centre for products of the traditional industries in the district.
The manifesto was released at a press conference. When asked about the LDF election manifesto of 2005, which too had promised that Kollam would be developed as an international city, the LDF leaders said the process had been launched by the outgoing LDF ruling team.
On the raging Chinnakada underpass issue, the leaders blamed the United Democratic Front (UDF) for the delay in constructing the underpass. The UDF leaders had influenced the Railways against allocating land at Chinnakada for constructing an approach road for the underpass, they alleged. But if voted back to power, steps would be taken to complete the construction at the earliest.
The manifesto states that all developmental activities will be carried out in tune with garbage disposal and treatment, easing of traffic congestion and proper town planning. Measures to ease the traffic congestion in the city have already been launched by the outgoing LDF ruling team. The process will continue if the LDF is voted back to power.
To solve the problem of vehicle parking, multi-storey parking facilities will be constructed. All junctions in the city will be developed and toilet facilities will be provided at various points for those travelling through the city. An open-air auditorium will be constructed in an ideal location for political parties and other organisations to hold pubic meetings.
Foot-over bridges will be constructed at the SN College and Saint Joseph's Girls High School junctions. A subway will be constructed at the taluk office junction. The width of all footpaths along the important roads in the city will be widened for the convenience of pedestrians. An exclusive footpath would be developed for pedestrians to reach the Kollam beach from Chinnakada-Payikada-Ganapati Ambalam.
There will be considerable thrust for poverty alleviation. Steps would be taken to provide healthcare and education for children from BPL families. Better facilities would be provided for those living in slums.
A history museum will be set up to project the rich history of Tangasseri in the district. Water fronts along Tangasseri, Kollam beach, Thirumullavaram and Kollam canal and the banks of the Ashtamudi Lake would be beautified and made attractive to promote tourism, says the manifesto.

Dead Israeli Pelican of Course Called a Spy
Mossad continues its top-secret 'Operation Moo'
In 2007, Iran said two pigeons with "invisible strings" were in fact Mossad operatives. So, said Egypt, was a shark that killed a resort-goer in Sharm-el-Sheikh. And then, earlier this year, there was the case of the vulture-agent captured (and then released) in Saudi Arabia. The latest anthropomorphic Israeli covert actor is a great white pelican, tragically killed in the line of duty in Sudan—it flew into a fisherman's net. The pelican's death has become a sensitive subject; it is being returned to Israel only by virtue of German and American mediation. It was equipped with a GPS tracker so that Israeli
spies scientists could spy on Sudan map the endangered species' migration patterns. "Anyone who would use wild animals for spying is a world criminal because that would be the end of wild life," a scientist in the project said. "To use them for espionage? Well, we would be the last ones to do that."
As for what happened to this bird: "It started to move across the Blue Nile slowly in the summer," a scientist said. "For some reason, this bird, a male, gave up the spring migration. We don't know why." Sure you don't.

Smart grid solutions for data centers (can you say "self-healing?")
By: SGN Staff
By Troy Miller
Data centers have emerged as one of the biggest consumers of electric power. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has estimated they now represent 1.5 percent of electricity consumption, a figure that has continued to grow as businesses and consumers demand more and more cloud-based systems, apps, and other Internet services.
But it's not just overall electricity consumption that's growing. Data centers themselves are getting bigger tooâ€"some now exceed 100 MW of loadâ€"as operators try to meet growing demand in the most efficient ways possible. As data centers grow in size and power use, it's becoming increasingly clear that the traditional electrical systems used to support data centers in the past will no longer suffice.
One major area that requires rethinking is using a 480-volt power system to distribute electricity within data centers. Once data centers use 20-30 MW or more, it's extremely difficult to support the data center with low-voltage power distribution systems. At 480 volts, a 30-MW data center's electrical system needs to carry nearly 40,000 amps. That's a tremendous amount of copper conductors to distribute electricity within a data center.
Medium-voltage systems are a clear winner when it comes to power distribution within data centers that consume electricity at such levels. The electrical infrastructure requires less material, takes less time to install and uses a smaller footprint, which ultimately opens more space for servers needed to support core data center functions, particularly revenue-generating functions. Medium-voltage solutions also allow for the application of some of the latest smart-grid solutions for power distribution.
Medium-voltage infrastructure opens door to other smart grid solutions
With a medium-voltage electrical infrastructure in place, data centers have the option of implementing self-healing smart grid technology within the facility. Just as on a utility system, a self-healing system can reroute electricity in the event there is a problem with any of the electrical equipment within the data center. By rerouting power, the data center can continue to serve loads with utility-supplied power, and can thus minimize its use of costly and inefficient diesel generators as a back-up power source.

Coupon Queen: Many unhappy returns
Q: A big toy store is also big on tricks. It was running a sale: buy two video games and get one game free. I selected three games and put them in no particular order on the counter when I bought them. As it turned out, I needed to exchange one game because the kids already had it. As it happened, this game was the third one scanned at the register, so the value was listed on my receipt as $0.00. When I went to return the game, the store insisted that it had no value. They would not exchange the game. I was livid. Of course the game had value! What if it had been rung up first? But the store wouldn't exchange it. Another store in the same chain also refused. I vowed not to shop there again. – Carol S.
A: I have to admit, this problem is new to me. One would think that a simple exchange wouldn't be a big deal, especially with the receipt in hand proving you bought the game at this store. I agree that the "free" game still has a dollar value. I'm sure the store would have something to say if a person decided to walk out the front door with the same game without paying for it! It's a shame that the store doesn't value customer service and was willing to lose this reader as a customer.
The next readers have questions about returning items they purchased using coupons.
Q: I recently bought laundry detergent for about $12 and used a $3 coupon. My wife said I didn't get the right kind and asked me to return it. The customer service clerk refunded the amount minus the coupon value, saying that the store can only refund the sum I actually paid. I said OK, and then asked if the store will give back the $3 to the company that reimburses them for coupons. The clerk shrugged and didn't answer the question. What is the correct procedure for both the shopper and the merchant when you return an item purchased using a coupon? – Phil F.
Q: I purchased eight items at a grocery store where I thought they doubled coupons up to $1. After I paid, I realized that the coupons were not doubled. The cashier said the store had discontinued the coupon-doubling program. So, I said I would return the items. But she said she could not give me the coupons back because they were already in the system. Isn't that illegal? Please clear up this up!
– Chris G.
A: When you return an item with a coupon, the store can opt to handle the transaction in one of the following ways. It may refund the price you paid, post-coupon, or it may refund the full purchase price, including the coupon's value. Either way is correct. It is up to the store to set its policy on how to handle returns involving coupons.
One reason many stores opt to return only the money a shopper actually paid for an item is to reduce fraud. Less scrupulous shoppers can become "serial returners," buying items with high-value coupons then returning everything and making a profit.

Review By Mike Chambers - February 21, 2008
PERFORMANCE VS. GEFORCE 8800 GT - 1920x1200
At the resolution of 1920x1200, the average frame rate of the GeForce 9600 GT trailed the GeForce 8800 GT by 11.9%. In one of the larger variances between the two graphics cards, Call of Duty 4 with no antialiasing was 18% faster on the GeForce 8800 GT.
The average frame rate of the GeForce 9600 GT trailed the GeForce 8800 GT by 13.6% in the next series of games, but Crysis with medium settings was 23% slower on the GeForce 9600 GT. However, the GeForce 9600 GT kept up nicely with the GeForce 8800 GT in the remaining games that were tested.
At 1920x1200, the minimum frame rate dropped below 30 fps on the GeForce 9600 GT in the following tests.
Avg: 52 Min: 29 fps - BioShock - No AA
Avg: 52 Min: 27 fps - Quake 4 - 4x AA
Avg: 46 Min: 26 fps - Call of Duty 4 - 4x AA
Avg: 21 Min: 14 fps - Crysis - No AA - High Quality
Note that 8x antialiasing and transparency antialiasing tests were not conducted at this resolution.

Before the season started, many fans would have tabbed the Toronto Blue Jays as the favorites in the American League East. Two games into the season, the Red Sox have impressed — but they still have a lot to prove over the course of the next 160 contests.
The AL East is expected to once again be baseball's most competitive division, and the new-look Jays are a big part of that. However, with Jackie Bradley Jr. helping build excitement around the Sox, Boston might find itself contending atop the division a lot sooner than people expect.
NESN Nation's Dan Duquette asked our Twitter followers who they expect to win the division. Check out what they had to say in the above video.

In January California will have a new governor and new leaders in the legislature. There clearly will be changes. Will one of those changes be an effort to help reduce the budget deficit by legalizing, (regulating) and taxing Internet poker? Perhaps.
In all likelihood another effort will be made by various stakeholders to get a bill introduced and passed by both houses and signed by the governor. The bill would have to limit players to California residents and otherwise comply with the age, and other provisions of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA). The fight, and surely there will be one, will be over who can apply for a license, meaning will the applicants need to California based, non-public companies, or will external applicants be allowed. Further, if there is a bill, how many licenses will be offered?

Eclipse has a lot going for it. Although I could/would not get used to its
strange/bizarre "workspace" UI concept, it (or its plugins) have features
Netbeans lacks. For instance, tight integration of software quality tools
like PMD, FindBugs, and UCD directly into the build output (with fine-grain
control over what constitutes errors that stop the build). This allows you
to fix these things right alongside the run-of-the-mill Java compiler errors
and keeps you from committing "dirty" code to the source repository. In NB,
when you can get these tools at all (I think the Unused Code Detector(UCD) is
not even available for Netbeans), they have their own windows or tie into the
"Action Items" window - which is, itself, was only added in recent years and
is separate from the "Output" window that most/some of us still use to see
compiler outputs (at this point, I think "Action Items" also shows compiler
errors/warnings, but then why is the Output window still showing them? We
"Action Items" is to be the center of the compile/fix cycle, why duplicate
this info in "Output"?)
I'm not an Eclipse fan - for the past 6 years, I've been the only NB user in
a group of Eclipse users. At this point, they've given up trying to convert
me and I've never considered switching to Eclipse (due to its weird GUI -
been using NB for 10+ years…can't teach an old dogs new tricks, I guess). I
think they've learned to appreciate that my IDE can bring some benefits to
the table that they lack in Eclipse (most often, the lacking item is the
Profiler. As others have pointed out, I can profile an app in a few minutes,
while they'd have to dust off/re-learn their copy of "JProfiler" or
equivalent). Every tool has its advantages/disadvantages. To call Eclipse a
glorified editor or being "plugin hell" is, for many, an incorrect
Just my $.02,
p.s. I actually like the look of IDEA - very similar to Netbeans. My biggest
problem has always been that I am apparently too dumb to get used to their
"module", "project", whatever concept. Whenever I picked up a copy to try
again, I immediately fell on my face trying to fit our app into its
project/module? structure. Simply couldn't figure out the "right" way to do
it in IDEA.

Police Commission gets new member
The City Council voted Wednesday to confirm the appointment of Theodore Warren Jackson to the Los Angeles Police Commission to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Commission President Deirdre Hill.
``I am honored and humbled to have both the confidence of the mayor, the Public Safety Committee and the council with respect to this assignment,'' said Jackson, an attorney for Hughes Aircraft Co. ``I understand the hard work that is involved. I am excited and anxious to get started.''
Jackson pledged to be an independent member of the panel, which has sparred in the past with Police Chief Willie L. Williams.

`MASH' star denies hitting wife in fight
``MASH'' star Harry Morgan didn't hit his 70-year-old wife, but did grab her as she destroyed furniture at their home during a drunken dispute, Morgan's lawyer said Wednesday.
Harland Braun entered a not-guilty plea Monday on behalf of his client, who was charged with misdemeanor spousal battery.
``Harry admits he was being verbally abusive, but he didn't hit her,'' Braun said of the July 2 incident. He added that both of them had been drinking.
Deputy City Attorney Jan Reyes, who is prosecuting the case, didn't return a phone message for comment Wednesday. Trial was set for Aug. 26 at the West Los Angeles Municipal Court.

Car pursuit ends in arrest of driver
A caravan of police cruisers, helicopters and unmarked police units chased a motorist driving a silver Toyota from Burbank to Carson on Wednesday before ramming a fender, surrounding the car and arresting the driver.
It wasn't immediately known what started the chase, which was aired live by at least two Los Angeles TV stations.
Police said they didn't have any details. All of the officers involved were still in the field.
The chase, which started on area freeways, ended on a surface street when officers surrounded the car, busted a window and pulled the driver out.

Coroner probing death of ATF agent
Coroner's investigators worked to determine Wednesday whether the shooting death of a special agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was suicide or an accident.
A conclusion about the death of Special Agent Nathaniel Medrano, 32 of San Pedro was expected today, said coroner's spokesman Scott Carrier.
Medrano shot himself in the agency's downtown office Tuesday night. He had just returned from a temporary assignment in the southern United States where he assisted in the investigation of arson fires at African-American churches, said John D'Angelo, an ATF spokesman in Los Angeles.
Medrano had been assigned to help pursue leads in the investigation, said D'Angelo, who had no other details.
An ATF statement issued Wednesday appeared to suggest the death was accidental, saying the Coroner's Office had ruled it to be ``accidental versus suicide.''
D'Angelo said the statement was intended to indicate only that a determination had not been reached.

Plane passengers get 9-hour delay
Nearly 500 passengers waited in a Tower Air jetliner for nine hours while the ground crew tried to fix a mechanical problem, the airline said.
Passengers were not allowed to get off the Boeing 747 during the wait Tuesday night because the ground crew kept saying the repairs would only take about an hour more. Two hours are required to move passengers off and back onto the plane, said Tower Air spokeswoman Terry Dejuli.
The nature of the mechanical problem was not explained.
By the time the plane was ready for takeoff about 3 a.m. Wednesday, 22 of the 476 passengers said they no longer wanted to go, Dejuli said.
``The people on the plane were livid,'' said John Parienti-Sterner, whose wife was on the aircraft and called him via cellular telephone.

In what will come as a another controversy for the Bharatiya Janata Party and its Prime Ministerial candidate, yoga guru and Modi supporter Baba Ramdev was caught today on camera murmuring to the BJP Alwar candidate Mahent Chandnath -- "Are you a fool asking and talking about money when cameras/ mic are on?"
It seems Baba Ramdev was naive enough to believe that the cameras and mics weren't already switched on and capable of hearing him speak.
Moments before Chandnath's press conference could start, in front of a bunch of cameras and microphones, Chandnath mentioned to Baba Ramdev that "paise le aane mein badi dikat ho rahi hai" (Facing problems bringing money here) and almost immediately, Baba Ramdev shut him up saying, "yahan baat karna bandh karo, bhole ho kya? (Stop talking here; are you a fool?)
View the video here:
Baba Ramdev, an avid supporter of Narendra Modi, has been one of most vocal campaigners against black money in the past two years. He, along with the BJP, have been repeatedly targeting the UPA government on issues ranging from corruption to poor governance. He has repeatedly organised events in which he has spoken about bring back black money stacked in banks abroad.
That it was a BJP candidate who was caught talking to the yoga guru, will now give enough fodder to the Congress to attack the BJP.
This is not the first time though that the Ramdev has been caught in a controversy. He was earlier caught on camera, attempting to run away from the police, dressed as a woman in a burkha. The Delhi police weren't fooled by his charade though. Soon after, there were accusations of his organisation being under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate for violations of FEMA. With an empire of 34 companies that have an estimated turnover of nearly Rs 1,100 crore, he runs one of the world's largest ayurvedic conglomerate.

Background: Up to 60% of bipolar disorder (BD) patients develop alcohol use disorders (AUD) at some point in their lives. The causes of this highly prevalent comorbidity are unknown. High trait impulsivity characterizes both isolated BD and AUD and may be a link to explain the association between BD and AUD. In this study, our aims were to investigate whether BD patients with comorbid AUD would present higher trait impulsivity levels compared to BD patients without comorbid AUD, and whether trait impulsivity levels differ within subgroups of BD according to the subcategory of AUD (abuse vs. dependence, alcoholism alone vs. alcoholism plus drug use disorders). Sampling and Methods: Forty-seven outpatients with BD with comorbid AUD (alcoholic BD group) were compared to 66 outpatients with BD alone (nonalcoholic BD group) and to 90 healthy controls (HC). BD and AUD diagnoses were obtained using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV diagnoses. Impulsivity was assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), a self-report instrument that measures trait impulsivity in three domains: nonplanning, attentional and motor. Results: Alcoholic BD patients scored significantly higher than nonalcoholic BD and HC on the total and on each subscale BIS scores. Within the alcoholic BD patients, alcohol abusers and alcohol dependents did not statistically differ from each other on the BIS-11 scores. BD patients with AUD plus drug use disorders presented statistically higher nonplanning impulsivity than BD patients with AUD alone. Conclusions: This was a cross-sectional study and causal inferences about the relationship between impulsivity and the comorbidity phenomenon cannot be made. Increased impulsivity may be a trait marker for the co-occurrence between BD and AUD, and mediate some severe manifestations of this comorbidity.

Rumor: major PSP Go price drop this Friday in North America
There is a new rumor doing the rounds about an alleged price drop the PSP Go starting this Friday. This hasn't been confirmed yet but all signs point towards this being highly likely.
One of the biggest criticisms regarding the PSP Go is its high price tag. It looks like Sony is willing to escalate a price drop earlier than usual due to low demand.
According to reports via Joystiq, someone from the retail side of things sent a snapshot of a memo indicating a $50 price drop to the device. According to the memo the final retail price starting this Friday will be $199.
CEO of Enterbrain recently predicted that this will be PSP's most successful year with the number of high profile titles out. He highlighted Monster Hunter Freedom as a dream come true with over five million units sold.
Other upcoming titles:
- The 3rd Birthday – 2010
- Resident Evil Portable – 2010 (TBD)
- God of War: Ghost of Sparta – 2010
- Patapon 3 – 2010

Electronic Waste:
EPA Needs to Better Control Harmful U.S. Exports through Stronger Enforcement and More Comprehensive Regulation

Increasingly, U.S. consumers are recycling their old electronics to prevent the environmental harm that can come from disposal. Concerns have grown, however, that some U.S. companies are exporting these items to developing countries, where unsafe recycling practices can cause health and environmental problems. Items with cathode-ray tubes (CRT) are particularly harmful because they can contain 4 pounds of lead, a known toxin. To prevent this practice, since January 2007 EPA began regulating the export of CRTs under its CRT rule, which requires companies to notify EPA before exporting CRTs. In this context, GAO examined (1) the fate of exported used electronics, (2) the effectiveness of regulatory controls over the export of these devices, and (3) options to strengthen federal regulation of exported used electronics. Among other things, GAO reviewed waste management surveys in developing countries, monitored e-commerce Web sites, and posed as foreign buyers of broken CRTs.
Some exported used electronics are handled responsibly in countries with effective regulatory controls and by companies with advanced technologies, but a substantial quantity ends up in countries where disposal practices are unsafe to workers and dangerous to the environment. Recent surveys made on behalf of the United Nations found that used electronics exported from the United States to many Asian countries are dismantled under unsafe conditions, using methods like open-air incineration and acid baths to extract metals such as copper and gold. GAO observed thousands of requests for these items on e-commerce Web sites during a 3-month period--mostly from Asian countries such as China and India but also from some in Africa. U.S. hazardous waste regulations have not deterred exports of potentially hazardous used electronics, primarily for the following reasons: (1) Existing EPA regulations focus only on CRTs. Other exported used electronics flow virtually unrestricted--even to countries where they can be mismanaged--in large part because relevant U.S. hazardous waste regulations assess only how products will react in unlined U.S. landfills. (2) Companies easily circumvent the CRT rule. GAO posed as foreign buyers of broken CRTs in Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, and other countries, and 43 U.S. companies expressed willingness to export these items. Some of the companies, including ones that publicly tout their exemplary environmental practices, were willing to export CRTs in apparent violation of the CRT rule. GAO provided EPA with the names of these companies at EPA's request. (3) EPA's enforcement is lacking. Since the CRT rule took effect in January 2007, Hong Kong officials intercepted and returned to U.S. ports 26 containers of illegally exported CRTs. EPA has since penalized one violator, and then only long after the shipment had been identified by GAO. EPA officials acknowledged compliance problems with its CRT rule but said that given the rule's relative newness, their focus was on educating the regulated community. This reasoning appears misplaced, however, given GAO's observation of exporters willing to engage in apparent violations of the CRT rule, including some who are aware of the rule. Finally, EPA has done little to ascertain the extent of noncompliance, and EPA officials said they have neither plans nor a timetable to develop an enforcement program. Beyond enforcing the CRT rule, EPA can take steps to ensure that the larger universe of potentially harmful electronic devices--such as computers, printers, and cell phones--are exported in a manner that does not harm health or the environment. Among the options raised by GAO are (1) expanding hazardous waste regulations to cover other exported used electronics; (2) submitting a legislative package to Congress for ratifying the Basel Convention, an international regime governing the import and export of hazardous wastes; and (3) working with Customs and Border Protection and other agencies to improve identification and tracking of exported used electronics. Options such as these could help make U.S. export controls more consistent with those of other industrialized countries.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: The Administrator, EPA, should direct the heads of appropriate offices to cooperate with other federal agencies to improve the tracking of exported used electronics, which could be accomplished by implementing specific harmonized tariff codes for these devices.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: The Administrator, EPA, should direct the heads of appropriate offices to develop options on how the agency could broaden its regulations under existing Resource Conservation and Recovery Act authority to address the export of used electronic devices that might not be classified as hazardous waste by current U.S. regulations but have a high likelihood of threatening human health and the environment when unsafely disassembled, as often occurs overseas. Among the options that should be considered is expanding the scope of the CRT rule to cover other exported used electronics and revising the regulatory definition of hazardous waste.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: The Administrator, EPA, should identify a timetable for developing and implementing a systematic plan to enforce the CRT rule. This plan should include the basic elements of effective enforcement, such as enforcement targets, monitoring, follow-up of suspected violations, and prosecution.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: In addition, because determining whether to ratify international treaties is a policy decision that rests with Congress and the President, EPA should submit to Congress a legislative package for ratification of the Basel Convention, so Congress can deliberate whether and to what extent the United States should adopt additional controls over the export of used electronics that may threaten human health and the environment when disassembled overseas.

1280x720@50Hz with nforce2
I'm trying to get my LCD-TV working via the VGA-port with it's native resolution 1280x720@50Hz.
My GPU is an onboard nForce2 Chipset (Geforce4 MX).
So, my first try was to use the common 720p50-timing:
Modeline "720p50" 74.250 1280 1680 1800 1980 720 725 730 750
Because the nvidia-Driver/-GPU only accepts HTotals divisible by 8, i have to use a HTotal of 1976 or 1984.
Unfortunately, with 1976 the picture has a slight overscan and 1984 has a slight underscan (approx. 4 Pixels) horizontally on my LCD-TV (=> no pixelmapping :mad:) . The TV seems to be optimized for 1980 HTotal.
Any solution known to this problem with nVidia-GPU's?
Also, i've problems to match a 50 Hz refreshrate exactly (for PAL-TV).
Using the following modeline:
Modeline "720p50" 74.250 1280 1680 1800 1976 720 725 730 750
i'm getting a refreshrate (mathematically) of 50,1 Hz, which results in some stuttering during PAL-replay.
But adjusting the Pixelclock to 74,1 Mhz:
Modeline "720p50" 74.100 1280 1680 1800 1976 720 725 730 750
mathematically resulting in an exact 50 Hz refreshrate, the stuttering is also present.
So i'm wondering, wether the GPU matches the pixelclock of 74,1 MHz exactly, or does the chip/driver change the wanted pixelclock to something other which the chip is able to?
In other words: Can I set the pixelclock to any value or are there discrete steps for altering the pixelclock?
Greetings from germany (xmassign)

Coast Guard Approves Plan To ID Source Of Oil Sheen Near BP Well
The Coast Guard is overseeing efforts under way to find the source of an oil sheen near BP's blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil company and federal scientists suspect it came from debris on the sea floor.
The Coast Guard told BP and rig owner Transocean that they must identify where the oil came from, and clean it up. Underwater robots will examine the site of the well that exploded in 2010. Wreckage of the drilling vessel remains a mile under the surface.
The sheen was spotted last month, and samples show it was oil from BP's well. The Coast Guard says recovering that oil isn't possible, and there's no threat to the shoreline.
The Coast Guard will oversee the operation, expected to start next week.

Scientists today perform a significant amount of formal research on various meditation techniques. Because the word 'meditation' is used loosely in society to describe many different activities, scientists have to be careful about how they use the term in context of research.
Dr. Fred Travis of Maharishi University of Management has been promoting a unified set of terms to categorize the many meditation techniques which exist today. In fact, he argues that all forms of meditation can be narrowed down to three types. These types are defined based on the techniques used, and these techniques correlate clearly to very specific, and distinguishable neurological responses.
To summarize, Dr. Travis encourages all researchers to utilize these three terms to describe the kind of... Continue Reading

Woodbine is a city in, and the county seat of, Camden County, Georgia, United States, an original county established when the state constitution was adopted in 1777.[4][5] The population was 1,412 at the 2010 census.[6]
Records in 1765 show that John Brown, John McGillvary, William Struthers and William Trowin petitioned English authorities for 1,400 acres (570 ha) south of the Satilla River. They were granted the land named Pile's Bluff, which historians believe to be near Woodbine.[4]
A tract of land was granted to Elijah Clarke by the state in 1808. It became known as the Woodbine Plantation. John Bailey purchased it in 1835 and held it through the Civil War, during which the house was burned by Union troops. James King Bedell acquired the property, constructed a new house, and restored the plantation. The railroad entered Camden County in 1893, and Bedell sold a right-of-way across his land, but required that the first rail community be named "Woodbine".[4]
Woodbine was incorporated as a town on August 13, 1908,[7] and the word is the common English name for the honeysuckle, Lonicera.[7][8] The town grew more after the Atlantic Coastal Highway was constructed during 1927 and the county seat relocated there the following year. Woodbine re-incorporated as a city in 1953.[4]
The city is situated near the center of the county, which is located in the southeast corner of the state near the Florida border. It is located on the south bank of the Satilla River near the head of its tidal extent. U.S. Route 17 (Ocean Highway) passes through the center of the city, leading northeast 29 miles (47 km) to Brunswick and south 11 miles (18 km) to Kingsland. The city has extended its borders 2 miles (3 km) east along 10th Street to reach Interstate 95 at its Exit 14.
Woodbine is located at 30°57′43″N 81°43′12″W / 30.96194°N 81.72000°W (30.961869, -81.720017).[9]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.6 square miles (6.7 km2), of which 2.5 square miles (6.5 km2) is land and 0.08 square miles (0.2 km2), or 2.37%, is water.[6]
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 1,218 people, 423 households, and 299 families residing in the city. The population density was 543.1 people per square mile (209.9/km²). There were 520 housing units at an average density of 231.9 per square mile (89.6/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 53.61% White, 43.84% African American, 0.33% Native American, 0.25% Asian, 0.90% from other races, and 1.07% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.30% of the population.
There were 423 households out of which 37.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 45.2% were married couples living together, 20.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 29.1% were non-families. 24.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.66 and the average family size was 3.18.
In the city the population was spread out with 30.0% under the age of 18, 10.1% from 18 to 24, 29.8% from 25 to 44, 20.5% from 45 to 64, and 9.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 33 years. For every 100 females there were 98.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 100.9 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $34,632, and the median income for a family was $39,688. Males had a median income of $30,192 versus $22,273 for females. The per capita income for the city was $13,709.

Bilbray in hiding?
Thank you, Richard Riehl, for pointing out that Rep. Brian Bilbray has suddenly generated a flurry of activity just before the November election ("Whom does Bilbray represent in D.C.?," Aug. 29) .
We have received four glossy fliers, mailed at taxpayers' expense, and several automated calls to join a "discussion in progress" with Rep. Bilbray. When I joined, I discovered that only pre-screened participants may speak â"â" the rest of us, on mute, can neither question nor comment. Hiding behind printed fliers and fixed "discussions," Rep. Bilbray apparently does not have the courage to face the voters of the 50th.
I read in the column by Gail Chatfield ("Bilbray shuns activist veterans," Sept. 1) that Rep. Bilbray refused a long-requested meeting with constituents who belong to a group called Veterans for Peace â"â" despite the fact that Bilbray is on the Veterans Affairs Committee and sits in his office in Solana Beach for the long summer break from Congress. We voters deserve debates between Bilbray and his opponent, Nick Leibham, and some face-to-face accountability for his time in Washington before the election in November.

Sanctimonious attitude of George Bush
How can we not be ashamed of the foreign policy statements of this president? He stands before the cameras at the Olympic games in China, and states, "It is wrong to violate the territory of a sovereign nation." Remember, this is the same man who willingly and pre-emptively invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq. An invasion and occupation based on manipulated and false intelligence â"â" plus outright lies!
I'm not getting into the rights and wrongs of the Russian invasion of Georgia â"â" that is something for the U.N. and world opinion to ponder. What I am concerned about is my U.S. leader adopting a phony, sanctimonious attitude over a crime that he himself committed â"â" and in much greater magnitude â"â" six years ago!
And why don't the mainstream media point out this obvious incongruity?

See more Aero Supersports pics
Morgan is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, a century in which, arguably, its most significant technical development was adding a fourth wheel in 1932.
In celebration of reaching the ton, Morgan has created this, the Aero Supersports. Essentially the roadster version of the Aeromax coupe, it was unveiled at the Villa D'Esta Concourse d'Eleganza in Italy. Though technically referred to as a concept, the Supersports is a 95 per cent match for the production roadster, due to arrive next year, says Morgan.
Based on the same ash-frame construction as the Aeromax coupe, the roadster features a pair of removable aluminium roof panels that stow in the boot. It sits slightly lower on its springs than the coupe, while the car's overall profile is 4cm shorter.
Morgan says the car, with roof detatched (and we're quoting verbatim here, honestly) will bring 'fresh air and the aromas of the seasons to the driving experience'.
The Supersports is powered by the same BMW-sourced 4.8-litre V8 as the coupe, putting out around 370bhp. In a car weighing just 1,100kg, that's good for a 0-60mph time of around 4.5 seconds.
Morgan plans to build 200 Supersports - just 100 Aeromax coupes went into production - at a cost of £127,000 apiece. That's rather expensive.
Good news, though, for retro-inclined Americans: structural changes to the car's platform mean the Supersports will pass the 50mph rear impact test, allowing it to be sold Stateside.
Any Americans out there who've escaped from the TopGear.com US portal? Do you guys 'get' the Morgan? Or is it one of those bewilderingly British things like real ale, proper swearing and sarcasm?
Talking of Morgans, read why Richard Hammond is making an effort to play dirty with his new Aeromax.

So did you get your multimedia keys working (the function keys)? Also, how is the G 105M as far as performance with Linux compositing like xfwm4 or compiz, or with video playback using mplayer(vdpau) or vlc? And how bad is the wlan?

MacroAsia wins Singapore Airlines' catering award
popular .
MANILA, Philippines–MacroAsia Catering Services (MACS) won the prestigious Singapore Airlines Excellence in Catering Award 2011 following the results of a 12-month rating period conducted by Singapore Airlines (SQ) for all its catering service providers worldwide.
A press statement sent to media said MACS bested 15 catering stations in Group 1 (stations handling 15 or
more weekly flight frequencies) within the SQ network on the strength of the company's excellent catering products and services.
The award, which was announced on October 9, 2012, means MACS has consistently met SQ's quality standards.
MACS executives officially received the award recently from SQ GM Ranjan Jha and Station Manager Kelvin Kwan during brief ceremonies at MacroAsia's catering facility inside the NAIA complex in Pasay City.
MACS GM Rhodel Esteban thanked the company's staff and officers as well as members of the SQ Manila team for their outstanding performance that earned the catering outfit the coveted award.
"This prestigious award and recognition rightfully belongs to MACS and SQ Manila as they remained focused in achieving the high quality standards set by Singapore Airlines," Esteban said.
As a gesture of goodwill, a token a appreciation from SQ will be given to MACS staff in recognition of their efforts and hard work.
Singapore Airlines operates 28 flights weekly between Manila and Singapore using its Boeing 777.

Re: Small boat single handed hoisting
Really good to find this post as I have the same issues.
I can use a bungee as Jeff describes and it seems to work just fine. The main issue I have is that as soon as I turn into the wind and lose steerage the wind pushes the bow around. So I need to be pretty quick to hoist. I ordered a prefeeder and think it will help a lot.
Another frustrating item is getting the mainsheet loose enough to allow me to hoist but not so loose that the boom is swinging like a wild monkey. If I had a topping lift I'm sure it would be easier, but I don't yet.
I also need to add a couple of blocks to make my main halyard easier. On my Rhodes 19 the mast is stepped at the cabin floor with the halyard exiting there. It is cleated off at the centerboard trunk under the cabin, so I have to duck under there to cleat it off. Not far to go, but I would rather stay in the cockpit to do it.
It is great to read different solutions to the same issues, thanks all.
