Sprint on the 5?
I am thinking about breaking up with AT&T's Data plan to go with Sprint's unlimited plan. I know AT&T has really good 4GLTE, but does Sprint have 4GLTE as well? Also, i'm finding it hard to believe Data unlimited at only $100 a month...what's wrong with it?
|Dec 8, 2012, 09:44 AM
It does but Sprint LTE is super spotty next to AT&T LTE.
Unless you like being on dial up like 3G all the time, I suggest you stay on the better network
|Dec 8, 2012, 09:44 AM
Its very very very sloooooooow data speeds.
Sprints LTE is very limited to select cities as of now.
Check their local coverage before you do, you will prob regret it.
|Dec 8, 2012, 09:48 AM
That really sucks to hear.
It's either that or a 10GB AT&T data plan. I don't like stressing over how much data I use.

I've got Sprint in Minneapolis MN
Best voice coverage I've had (Even traveling)
No roaming, no long distance. So I get coverage EVERYWHERE
Data sucks something fierce on 3G... iP5 doesn't run Sprint's 4G (WiMax) .... LTE is rolling out as we speak, but not everyone has it yet
Average 3G Data: 1.8 Down .75 Up
I do use TONS of minutes though.... 4000 or so is not uncommon in a month,
but I do a lot of phone consultation
Unlimited is gonna pay off huge when LTE rolls through.
For me it's worth it. I'm usually in the office or at home, so leave the wifi on, or use my Macs

Let me tell you about sprint.. IT SUCKS
as everyone has mentioned, their 3G network is EXTREMELY slow. LTE is nearly non existent, voice calls are not too bad
I was with sprint since they swallowed up nextel. Never really complained until i got my first iphone (4S). i live in New York City and the speed is just TERRIBLE. Its as if all of the towers are just severely overloaded. ive done plenty of speed test and no matter where it is you are, .02mpbs download speeds were common. When leaving the big city and heading up to smaller towns, the speed did increase. Highest ive ever gotten was around 1.5mbps down outside the city.
Voice calls fared alot better, besides the fact me and everyone i know on sprint would get these annoying periods of time when you would dial a number and the phone would remain stuck on calling but without actually calling. One time i tried calling someone and the call failed consecutively 19 times. This was the day i decided enough was enough and ditched them for ATT, as mentioned in another post, difference is NIGHT AND DAY i love it.
In terms of whether unlimited data would pay off in the end, guess it depends on how well sprint increases their capacity on their network. I read somewhere sprint is using less spectrum or something of the sort that will make their LTE network a little slower than the other two (verizon and ATT) If your going to want decent data speeds, your going to have to leave on LTE once they do roll it out in your area. Kiss that fantastic battery life goodbye and hopefully they bring it to your area sometime SOON

I've been with Sprint since 1999. I bought my iPhone 5 knowing that my area (Phoenix) does not have 4G (yet). I waited five years for the iPhone 5 to come to Sprint (yeah, the iPhone 4S showed up in 2011, but I wanted the 5).
Part of the problem is that Sprint tried testing and rolling out 4G WiMax in 2010. That was with Clearwire. Sprint was using their network for this and Clearwire did their testing and then stopped. Sprint should have communicated with it's customers, they didn't, so now we have this mess of people being promised 4G for the last two years and not getting it.
Sprint laid out 4G rollout in three markets. The first round market is done, the second is building out and the third round market was supposed to start any where from Dec. 2012 to March 2013. Phoenix is in the third round market. Supposedly the way it works is that they start slow, work out the kinks and then accelerate.
Sprint is doing three things at once. First they have to overhaul the backhaul. The backhaul they have right now is for older 3G and some of it dates to the early 90s. Access to property and towers of course as well as permitting is an issue. Sprint in a lot of places is sharing towers with other carriers. But they can't switch on LTE until they have the backhaul upgraded to handle it. Sprint is also upgrading it's 3G towers as it goes as well.
Lastly as they go they are shutting down the iDEN network (Nextel) and converting those towers to 3G/LTE. The iDEN towers operate on a much lower frequency (800hz I believe, something like that). The signal will penetrate much farther, but right now the smartphones on the network can't use the iDEN towers because it's not compatible.
All of this is supposed to wrap up they say by the end of 2013. I'm skeptical, but we'll see. They say that because of Clearwire once Phoenix gets 4G there will be areas of the city that are faster because there will be a mix of 4G WiMax, LTE and upgraded 3G.
Note that I am not defending Sprint. I am merely reguritating what's been said.
Just one final note. If you are not in an LTE network but using an iPhone on Sprint, turn off LTE. Your 3G speeds will improve somewhat. Why, I don't know, but it works.

The thought of having "unlimited" data is enticing, but unfortunatly with an iphone 5 on Sprint, you basically have a smartphone that is crippled for most all data functions. The data, for reasons apparently unknown to Sprint or Apple, is so miserably slow (.01-.20 Mb download) most any data features of the iphone will not function. Do yourself a big favor and peruse the Sprint forums and you will quickly see that this is a widespread, nationwide problem. You'll see many posts re: customers unable to use facebook, maps, siri, twitter and almost all data related functions. For whatever reason, Andoid phones appear to fair much better and exibit decent download speeds.
Some Sprint online Reps suggest that Sprint/Apple are working on a fix, and there was a new carrier update Dec. 5, but most are giving mixed reviews. You would probably do well to proceed with caution.

like others have said Sprint is slooooow. but for Chicago and the burbs it is super fast. i have been to nashville, boston, and atlanta. sprint lte fast there as well. it all depends on where you are. i pay 110 buck for 2 phones and could not be happier with Sprint. i love their customer service as well. they waived activation fees when i bought both phones and only charged 212 each. just my experience.

I just switched from Sprint to AT&T because I was using an absolute max of 1GB a month. I was on AT&T before with all of my previous iPhones and when the 4/S came out on Sprint I switched. Here's my experience.
I hated AT&T. Just absolutely loathed. I couldn't keep a phone call, it would either drop when I tried to pick up or I'd get connected and it would drop. Constant phantom voicemails (no missed call but a voicemail comes through). The data was great though but this was just 3G time.
Last time I had used Sprint it was horrifying also. It was quite a few years back with a work supplied phone and I never had any coverage, even out in the middle of a field, and when I was at home my phone had to sit near a window to even maybe get a call. I had heard good things and gave them a shot. Like everyone said the data is awful. Here in Cincinnati I got a constant 0.01Mbps on speed tests. 90% of the time (even with full service) apps wouldn't even load because they'd time out. The voice coverage was great though. I only had 2 bars inside my house but I never missed calls and never dropped calls. The unlimited data was nice but never really used. One thing I did use a lot was the unlimited roaming. I roam on Verizon a lot here at work (thick concrete walls + Sprint = lol). There was nothing listed up through 2013 that I could find that showed Cincinnati as an area getting LTE. They charge you $10/month for "Premium Data" even if you can't use it. So finally I had enough with that and went back to AT&T. It's only been 3-4 days so I guess we'll see how AT&T turns out, but so far it's great.
Hope this helps!

I switched from ATT and got a 5 with Sprint a week and a half ago. Chicago area. I'm thinking of bailing before the two week grace period is up.
When I get LTE at work in the city, it's pretty okay. Averages between 10-15mbps down, sometimes as high as 20. At home in the close suburbs, LTE is occasionally around 5 but averages about 2 (about the speed I got on ATT 3G). Still, considering it has unlimited data and I'll be on wifi at home anyway, I'm willing to live with that.
The dealbreaker? At home, about 50% of the time I lose LTE and get kicked onto 3G. It still makes calls/texts, but data is unusable. This is a completely average speed test while on 3G at home:
Even if I'll be on wifi at home, why in the hell would I sign a two year contract knowing that whenever I lose LTE and wind up on 3G the phone has a good chance of being unusable data-wise?

|Dec 17, 2012, 10:29 PM
it really depends on where you live. I have great LTE in most of the Dallas suburb where I live, but when I don't have LTE the 3g is unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. look at their coverage maps to see if it will cover the areas you want it most.
|Dec 17, 2012, 10:48 PM
email@example.com goes straight to Executive Services. They'll call you back. For myself, I explained to them that a free Airave would be the only reasonable resolution (barely) to the poor 3G signal I have at home. They sent me one (free) and the monthly charge is $0/mth with a $0 activation fee.

LTE is truly unlimited on Sprint and is fast. Not AT&T fast but about half as good since they only have half the spectrum. Since I'm mostly at work or home, I'm usually on Wifi. Anywhere else I am able to get LTE for the most part.
If you are on the 3G network, IT SUCKS BADLY. Still, the cost savings are great and I rarely have to deal with 3G in my area. Good luck and I hope that helps.

Sprint has to be the worst possible carrier in regards to data connectivity and speed. I travel quite a bit across the country and haven't noticed it working good anywhere.
I can be in a large city (Miami, Charlotte, etc). Have a full 4 bars of 3G data and cannot load a web page. When I am actually in an lte area... Its slow as all hell. The 3G service is good for iMessage and email, sometimes not even that. I am missing out on so much with the iPhone 5 on Sprint. I can't even stream pandora or spotify over 3G sometimes. It just cuts out.
Unfortunately, I am tied to them because of my job, but I am thinking about getting a personal phone through vzw or AT&T.

I paid the $350 + tax ETF to get away from Sprint just one month after switching back to them from AT&T (switched from Sprint to AT&T when to get the 3GS). They are terrible. Depending on how things are in two years, I'll probably just turn to Verizon and be done with it all.

voice is fine I think, I don't talk much but the times I did it was fine.
The data is VERY VERY SLOOWWWW, I don't use much and sprint plan is cheaper so I stick with it. If the price was the same I would be out ASAP. Loading a mobile google page takes 30seconds on iphone5 3g 3 bars connection. I don't even live in a big city. LTE won't arrive at my state till END OF 2013. Sprint is so bad but whatever it's perfect for just emails though. It's all I use for just email exchange.
|Dec 19, 2012, 05:20 AM
Sprints 3G is as slow as and sometimes slower than Edge 2G data on Tmobile and AT&T. It's pitiful.
|Dec 19, 2012, 10:17 AM
I never, ever used the data capabilities of my phone. I just sadly looked at other peoples iPhones and wished Sprint would finally deliver their promised 4G to San Diego. I switched to Verizon in time to get unlimited data - I'm now grandfathered in.
I will never go back to Sprint even if they finally roll out their 4G network. If I need to, I will switch to AT&T or Tmobile, or start using two cans and a string. I wish I could kick Dan in the @#$%*.

Very happy to find that the new gear housing was metal, not plastic. The whole problem was poor design of plastic to hold metal gears. Removed housing held down by four screws, removed two gears that were damaged. Retaining ring was difficult to remove from retaining slot. New gears replaced the old ones, new retaining ring put in place, new grease packed into all gearing, new stronger metal housing put in place and the Kitchenaid industrial mixer is better than new. Very happy with the parts I purchased.

Heavy betting on the outcome of the Lok Sabha elections is taking place in Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Indore, Jaipur, Karachi, and Dubai with sources saying bets worth Rs10,000 crore have already been placed.
A top bookie told dna on Saturday that there is maximum betting on the chances of Narendra Modi becoming prime minister with the odds being 30 paise late on Friday night. This translates into a gain of 30 paise for every rupee bet on NaMo becoming PM.
For Rahul Gandhi, it is Rs5, which indicates that the number of bettors fancying him as PM was relatively low.
In Varanasi, Modi is certain to score a victory with the 'bhav' being 10 paise.
Overall, there is speculation that the BJP will secure 235 seats, which is below the magical figure of 272. But the saffron party with help of allies will be able to form the next government.
The 'bhav' is Re1, which means that for every rupee you bet on the BJP securing 235 you get Rs2. A punter Vijay Ranka (not his real name) said: "I have bet Rs1 lakh on the BJP getting 235 seats. I am looking forward to earning Rs2 lakh."
According to the betting world, the BJP is expected to secure 55 seats in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. In Madhya Pradesh, it will get 27, in Gujarat 26, in Bihar 29, in Rajasthan 23, in Maharashtra 17, in Karnataka 19, in Jharkhand 10, in Chhattisgarh 10, in Odisha 6, in Assam 5, in Punjab 4, in Andhra Pradesh 2, and in Goa 2.
For each rupee bet on this pattern of results you will get Rs2. Sources said the mood in north India is distinctly pro-BJP and this is reflected in the betting pattern. The figures show that the BJP will do very well in states where it is in power, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
In Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena is expected to bag 10 seats with a bhav of Re1. Overall, the Congress is likely to get 70 seats. In Mumbai, the Congress is "sure" to win three of the six seats — Mumbai South-central, Mumbai South and Mumbai North-central, the bookies say.
As usual, the Dawood Ibrahim gang is masterminding much of the betting with the operational headquarters being in Karachi.
Meanwhile, certain candidates have sought the underworld's help to win. While Chhota Shakeel, Dawood's chief lieutenant, has been approached by certain Congress activists, the Arun Gawli gang is believed to be backing the Shiv Sena in Central and South Mumbai. Certain activists in Mumbai North-east have sought the help of Chhota Rajan.

I have a resizable window, and a graph which consists of 11 lines of different values ranging from 0 to 1000. What is the math I would use to compute this?
I want to have the data ranging from 0 to 1000 be so that it equals 0-1000 pixels on screen. But if I resize my window to say 640 / 480, the graph will adjust only will be less detailed.

Monsanto is located HERE
Favorite thing: When we left Castelo Branco in the morning, we initially headed north a short distance on the very good IP2 super-highway before we began taking sideroads to the east. We then turned off to the northeast, going cross-country to reach the N233 which took us past Lousa, after which we then turned directly east onto some very scenic and pastoral back roads. We took a loop around a lake, Barragem da Idanha, passing by the small village of Idanha-a-Nova before reaching the turnoff for Monsanto, which is only about 30 km from the Spanish border. Altogether, a very pleasant drive through very green countryside!

'Integument' integral to Spelling Bee win
CORPUS CHRISTI - Relief was the word Amanda Espericueta, 14, used Saturday after she spelled "integument" to win the 55th annual Caller-Times South Texas Regional Spelling Bee in round 10.
"It feels really like a pressure is lifted off me," the Bishop Garriga Preparatory Middle School eighth-grader said with a grin, flashing her green and purple braces.
Amanda's victory came against two other eighth-grade girls after repeating the final round twice. She properly spelled integument, which means a natural outer covering, to take home the bobble-head bee trophy. She also gets an expense-paid trip in May to Washington, D.C., where she'll compete at the Scripps National Spelling Bee against 286 other regional champions.
"We're very proud of events like this, especially in our 125th anniversary year," said Patrick Birmingham, publisher of the Caller-Times. "It's a way we can give back to the community."
Despite competitors nervously waiting backstage, silence is golden for spellers, said Daniel Flores, 12.
"It's the ding that stings," he said after correctly spelling "neologism," a new word or expression.
"I was confident I had it right," said Daniel, a second-time participant representing St. Joseph School in Alice. "But you still stand there a second to make sure the judge doesn't hit that bell."
Daniel was one of the 50 students still seated behind the stage in the Corpus Christi Ballroom at the Solomon P. Ortiz International Center following the first round. Of the 97 qualifiers who beat out about 10,000 students in 12 counties to get there, six didn't show and 41 misspelled their first word.
First up and first down was Jason Guidangen, 10, of Kingsville, who was nixed by the second "c" he left out of the word "character."
Before the second round began, two appeals were filed. One was granted to Nicole Pinney, 8, of Andrews Elementary in Portland, pushing the tally to 51. She was one of the 26 spellers eliminated in the round.
The final 10 were eight girls and two boys, both of whom were eliminated in the first round of the finals following lunch. Owen Tuttle, 11, of Luther Jones Elementary stood calmly with his hands shoved in his pockets as he misspelled "pompadour."
"All the students seemed stronger this year," said Mary Christmas, a judge and the specialist for library media services for Corpus Christi Independent School District.
"Having the words available online this year for the first time where they could hear the pronunciation has been a key factor in helping the kids understand the words," she said. "Seeing a word in print is often different than hearing it pronounced."
The 2005 regional winner, Ciarra Flores, 13, agreed. "I could picture the word better because I knew what it sounded like," said the Flour Bluff Junior High student, who was one of two runners-up.
But the winner didn't study online.
"My dad pronounced the words for me," Amanda said. "He only had to look up a couple words to be sure."
Contact Mike Baird at 886-3774 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Cindy Martinez contributed to this report.

Dillon Gee
New York Mets
WHAT IT MEANS: Dillon Gee allowed seven runs for the second time this season. And the Mets' attempt to climb six games over .500 came up short for the third time in a week. The Mets lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-0, on a wet Tuesday night at Citi Field as David Wright stewed about being pulled from the game.
Gee was chased with one out in the sixth and the Mets trailing 7-0 after serving up a three-run homer to Travis Ishikawa -- the ex-Giant's second long ball in two innings and his third, fourth and career-high fifth RBIs of the game.
Gee's ERA swelled to 5.65.
Gee (2-3) also allowed seven runs against the San Francisco Giants on April 23. His career high for runs allowed was eight against the Philadelphia Phillies in a 10-0 loss on Aug. 22, 2011.
Zack Greinke tossed seven scoreless innings for Milwaukee.
D.J. FIASCO: Tasked with logging innings with a lopsided deficit to protect the rest of the bullpen, D.J. Carrasco lasted all of three batters. Rickie Weeks launched a one-out homer to left field off Carrasco in the seventh to snap an 0-for-21 rut. Carrasco then plunked Ryan Braun on the arm with the next pitch -- either (1) unintentionally, (2) because of the homer, or (3) because of Braun beating a drug suspension. Carrasco was ejected by plate umpire Gary Darling. Braun has been hit by an NL-high five pitches this season, matching last year's total. Two of the plunkings came in Milwaukee's previous series, against the rival Chicago Cubs.
Ramon Ramirez logged the final 2-2/3 innings.
David Wright
New York Mets
SIT AND STEW: Terry Collins pulled Wright for pinch hitter Jordany Valdespin the half-inning after Carrasco's ejection, and Wright was shown on TV expressing displeasure with his manager for the decision to remove him.
It was not immediately clear whether Collins was motivated by fearing retribution for the Braun plunking since the two-game series was ending, or simply wanted to get Wright out of the game with an 8-0 deficit and wet weather. Collins recently said Wright would need a break during a 20-games-in-20-days stretch.
Wright went 2-for-2 to lift his average to .408 before departing.
NEW CITI JACKS: Ishikawa's second homer would not have been a long ball under the old Citi Field dimensions. Opponents now lead 5-4 in homers that benefited from the revised dimensions.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Cincinnati Reds visit Citi Field for a two-game series. Johan Santana (1-2, 2.92 ERA) opposes right-hander Mike Leake (0-5, 7.11) in Wednesday's 7:10 p.m. opener.

Madrid, Spain
My Rating
Excellent tours with great guides. These are really two half-day tours to sites in different directions from Madrid. So, first tour ends in Madrid with a quick hour (or less) for lunch and then the next tour leaves. This makes for a VERY strenuous and long day. Even though there is an escalator most of the way from the drop off point to upper Old Town Toledo, there is still a lot of hill left as well as stairs within the buildings visited. In addition, the Aranjuez Palace is multi-story. Even though I sat out and enjoyed a bench in the palace gardens after interior tour, I still had a wonderful time and would recommend the tour (but maybe split into two days).
Athens, Greece
My Rating
This is an excellent tour. We are still telling friends stories from this tour and its experiences. This is a tour of the REAL Athens old town -- not the tourist area. Food shops and restaurants were very good and the vegetable and fish/meat markets were interesting (and clean). We take food tours often in our travels and find it a great way to really experience an area. The cruise ship pick-up was easy and on time. However, the ride back to the ship was several hours after the end of the walking tour and a substantial distance from the end of the tour as well as being within an hour of sailing time. We opted to cancel that ride and our guide was nice enough to call us a taxi and arrange a fare to take us to our ship. I would highly recommend this tour.
Brussels, Belgium
My Rating
Although you could spend more time, if you only have a day this is an excellent and worthwhile tour. The multilingual guide gave everyone time to see and understnad the sites. The recommended restaurant in Bruges was excellent and not a rip-off.
Brussels, Belgium
My Rating
This is not a shopping tour (as the guide frequently reminded us) it is a walking tour early in the morning of the grand place area as well as upper city areas to find all the appropriate chocolate shops. The tour is designed to allow you to taste different types and prices of chocolate to find the one you like best. If you are quick, you can purchase during the tour. But, you are shown all the streets and eating/shopping areas, so you can find your way back over the next few days as you have time. Going out in the morning is great as you are ahead of the crowds for photos and ease of walking. The guide is excellent and knowledgable with a quick stride. Be sure to wear good shoes for lots of walking over cobblesones.

The discovery of Sirius B
: a case of strategy or serendipity?
pdf ps
Barbara Welther
Harvard-Smithsonian Center
for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
Received 13 April 1987
In 1862, Alvan Graham Clark
discovered the predicted companion of Sirius while helping his father test
their new 18-1/2 inch lens in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts. Deborah Warner, in
her book, Alvan Clark & Sons: Artists in Optics, calls the discovery "a classic case of
serendipity" and states that although the companion "had been
frequently sought by others," Alvan Graham Clark "was probably
unaware of these previous researches." By quoting an undocumented story
about the event given in a secondary source, Warner paints a picture of the
discovery that raises some practical questions:

SD Addiction Support GroupIt is called work avoidance. Am I the only person who does this? I could be so much more productive in life if I never had come across SD. I am waiting for A&E to come to be about an reality series with those who buy too much crap online, surf at deals all day and do not do their work. I have a "real" job as an Engineer where I work from home and this addiction is getting in my way. I need an intervention but nobody else knows my secret. Not my wife... nobody. Amazon boxes, Woot boxes, Merilite boxes all get trashed before they see them. Everyday something else shows up I forgot I even ordered. Like yesterday it was a spy camera pen. I have no "real" use for this damn thing logically but at the moment I wanted it.
Tell me I am not alone out there. I get on here and see something I know I really do not need. But when I type in the secret coupon codes, I suddenly feel like I pulled one over on "The Man". I am going to go study now... I have a huge Certification Exam tomorrow. I'll be back in 3 hours to make sure I am not missing out.

The nuraghe [nuˈraɡe] (plural Italian nuraghi, Sardinian Logudorese nuraghes / Sardinian Campidanese nuraxis) is the main type of ancient megalithic edifice found in Sardinia, developed during the Nuragic Age between 1900 and 730 BCE.[1] Today it has come to be the symbol of Sardinia and its distinctive culture, the Nuragic civilization. More than 7000 nuraghi have been found, though archeologists believe that originally there were many more.[citation needed]
According to the Oxford English Dictionary the etymology is "uncertain and disputed": "The word is perhaps related to the Sardinian place names Nurra, Nurri, Nurru, and to Sardinian nurra 'heap of stones, cavity in earth' (although these senses are difficult to reconcile). A connection with the Semitic base of Arabic nūr 'light, fire, etc.' is now generally rejected."[2] The Latin word murus ('wall') may be related to it,[3] as the old Italian word mora ('tombal rock mound'), as used by Dante in his Comedy. However, the derivation: murus–*muraghe–nuraghe is debated.
An etymological theory suggests a paleo-Basque origin by the term *nur (stone) with the common -ak plural ending;[4] the Paleo-Sardinian suffix -ake it's also found in some indoeuropean languages such as latin and greek.[5] Another possible explanation is that the word Nuraghe came from the name of the mythological hero Norax, in this case the root *nur would be an adaptation of the indoeuropean root *nor.[6]
General layout[edit]
The typical nuraghe is situated in areas where previous prehistoric Sardinian cultures had been distributed, that is not far from alluvial plains (though few nuraghi appear in plains nowadays, as they were destroyed by human activities such as agriculture, dams and others) and has the shape of a truncated conical tower resembling a medieval tower (outside) or a beehive (inside). The structure's walls consist of three components: an outer layer shaped like a tower (tilted inwards and made of many layers of stones whose size diminishes with height: mostly, lower layers consist of rubble masonry, while upper layers tend to ashlar masonry), an inner layer, made of smaller stones (to form a bullet shaped dome called "tholos", and where ashlar masonry is used more frequently), and an intermediate layer of very small pieces and dirt, which makes the whole construction very sturdy: it stands only by virtue of the weight of its stones, which may each amount to several tons. Some nuraghes are about 20 metres (60 ft) in height. A spiral stone stair was built within the thick walls, leading to upper floors (if present) and/or to a terrace.
Today, there are fewer than 7,000 nuraghes still existing in Sardinia, although their number was originally larger. Nuraghes are most prevalent in the northwest and south-central parts of the island.[7]
Cultural significance[edit]
There is a similar type of structure which has a corridor or a system of corridors. Some authors consider them somewhat older than the typical nuraghe and probably serving different purposes. The nuraghes were built between the middle of the Bronze Age (18th-15th centuries BCE) and the Late Bronze Age. This clearly rules out any possible cultural correlation with later towers such as Scottish Brochs (dating mainly to the 1st centuries BCE and CE). The claim that the El-Ahwat structures from Israel might be related is strongly contested; those are dated to either the 12th or the 11th century BCE. The only buildings widely accepted as being related to nuraghes are the torri (plural of torre) from Corsica.
According to Massimo Pallottino, a scholar of Sardinian prehistory and an etruscologist, the architecture produced by the Nuragic civilization was the most advanced of any in the western Mediterranean during this epoch, including those in the regions of Magna Graecia.[8] Of the 7,000 extant nuraghes, only a few have been scientifically excavated. Many Nuragic cultural traits and values were inherited by the Etruscans and by the Romans.
There is no consensus on the function of the nuraghes: they could have been religious temples, ordinary dwellings, rulers' residences, military strongholds, meeting halls, or a combination of the former. Some of the nuraghes are, however, located in strategic places – such as hills– from which important passages could be easily controlled. They might have been something between a "status symbol" and a "passive defence" building, meant to be a deterrent for possible enemies.
Nuraghes could also have been the "national" symbol of the Nuragic peoples. Small-scale models of nuraghe have often been excavated at religious sites (e.g. in the "maze" temple at the Su Romanzesu site near Bitti in central Sardinia). Nuraghes may have just connoted wealth or power, or they may have been an indication that a site had its owners. Recent unconfirmed theories tend to suggest that Sardinian towns were independent entities (such as the city-states, although in a geographical sense they were not cities) that formed federations and that the building of these monuments might have depended on agreed-on distributions of territory among federated unities.
In 2002, Juan Belmonte and Mauro Zedda measured the entrance orientations (declinations and azimuths) of 272 simple nuraghes and of the central towers of 180 complex ones. The data revealed clear peaks corresponding to orientations pointing to the sunrise at winter solstice and to the Moon at its southernmost rising position. These alignments remained constant throughout the history of nuraghe.[9] The most common declinations revealed were of around −43° for the earlier nuraghes, shifting to just −45½° for the later. Zedda has suggested that the target is likely a star, quite possibly Alpha Centauri.[10]
Notable nuraghes[edit]
Nuraghes are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. Su Nuraxi di Barumini, in the south of the island, has been chosen to represent all the nuragic patrimony, but one of the highest and most complex Nuraghes is the Nuraghe Santu Antine near the village of Torralba, in northern Sardinia. Other famous nuraghi are near Alghero (Palmavera), Macomer, Abbasanta (see Losa), Orroli (Nuraghe Arrubiu), and Villanovaforru.

If you were one of the early donors and don't see your donation listed on the fundraising page, my apologies. When I switched team affiliations from Sacramento to the Greater Bay Area, they transferred the donation balance but not the individual donor information. I have put in a request that the information be transferred as well but have not heard back. However, rest assured that for tax purposes, LLS has a record of your donation.
Even though I will no longer be matching donations, you can still join me in this battle!

How Pagerank, Domain Authority and Alexa Rank eventually helps bloggers
Every blogger is familiar with Pagerank, Domain authority and Alexa rank. These are the metrics used to weigh popularity of any blog. As everyone knows Pagerank is the standard metric introduced by Google to show how well your blog performs in search engine rankings. Pagerank is purely based on how others link to your site. If 100 lower page rank or less popular sites link to you, there would be not much advantage. On the other hand, if you manage to get links from 2 highly popular or higher page rank sites that would really make a big difference. The higher your Pagerank, the more chances you get to rank well in Google. Gone are the days when people involved in link selling and buying to influence Pagerank. Google has slapped with their strict rules and imposed ban on all publishers who tried to gain links in illegitimate manner. Some of them may received penalty notices from Google.
The 3 strong reasons why bloggers run after Pagerank are to boost higher search engine rankings, get paid posts and to get advertising from direct advertisers. The higher search rankings results in high traffic. Bloggers generally struggle for organic traffic. They try to use different strategies like SEO, Social media promotion, paid advertising to rank well. The companies offer paid posts to the bloggers to pass some juice to their commercial link. They pay according to the page ranks of the blogs. The higher the page rank, the more you will get paid by companies. Many freelancers negotiate with bloggers on behalf of the company to get the paid link contract. In return they make some bucks. You could probably see them on forums and social media sites. Once the paid post gets published companies pay you.
When coming to direct advertising, companies often look blogs with huge traffic, good Alexa rank, nice Google PR and others. But, advertisers may not consider Pagerank if your blog manages to attract tens of thousands of visitors on daily basis. However, some bloggers or companies may look for good Pagerank to place their text links or sitewide links on sidebar or footer. The basic idea is to grab some PR juice from the blogger's site. Google doesn't encourage paidlinks and may completely penalize or partially penalize your blog. Google emphasize you to use 'nofollow' for the paid link but why does an advertiser agree for it. However, there are lesser chances to get penalty if the paid link is safe, reputed and relevant to your niche.
Domain authority ( DA) is the metric introduced by MOZ to see your site's performance in search engine rankings. MOZ ranks your site on points basis (1-100). If your site is quite old, having adequate traffic and good number of inbound links then you have the higher chances to score well. If your site has thin content and has no popularity then your score would be very low. If you manage to get inbound links from trusted and popular sites you can see your score increasing.
Bloggers should follow link building strategies like directory submission, article marketing, blog commenting and guest blogging. You could attract traffic as well as trust from reputed sources. These things help you to get good domain authority. Unlike Google Pagerank update, MOZ rank doesn't increase rapidly. It takes time to get higher DA. Bloggers should keep in mind that DA is same for all the web pages of a site. Where as page authority shows the individual page's performance. Companies and advertisers also consider site's domain authority to offer paid posts and advertising.
Alexa ranking system has started showing traffic analytics of the registered sites. It made advertisers easy to analyze the quality and traffic of the sites. Direct advertising programs like Buysellads consider Alexa rank to approve the blogs. Being a blogger you could get good Alexa rank if you manage to get traffic from fellow bloggers. The Alexa rank is mainly based on the data collected from the installed toolbar.
Conclusion : All the three metrics are useful to gain advertising and paid posts. But, it doesn't happen overnight. Newbies shouldn't blog for the sake of Pagerank, Domain authority and Alexa rank. They should focus more on delivering interesting and informative content to the readers. SEO and social media helps to get exposure to your content and finally these metrics start working.
This is about how Pagerank, Domain authority and Alexa rank eventually helps bloggers in the long run. If you like this article then please do share with your friends.

Hi Prashanth,
Thanks for stopping by my site. I'm glad you like it.
Good lesson teacher!
Hi Treathyl,
Nice to see you after long time. I'm glad you like it.
Great source of info. Suresh! Thanks for sharing
Hi Arun,
Nice to see you again. I'm glad you like it.
Page rank is definitely a thing of past. DA and PA carry more value now. PageRank is a number which can only be used to attract our non-technical visitors, nothing else 😉
Hi Ghautam,
Yes I agree with you. Thanks for the comment mate.
Hi Suresh,
I really don't pay any attention to the rankings of where my blog stands. I just blog and take the time to promote my blog.
Eventually, I am sure that my blog will rank good. I agree with you that people should not get so hooked on the standing of their site. As long as they provide useful content, they will get visitors to their site.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great day.
Hi Susan,
Nice to see you. Yes keep writing useful content and one day your blog would rank high. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.
Yeah Alexa, PR and DA really helps bloggers to earn good money. Since most of advertisers first check these things to advertise or to purchase an ad slot. So we need to work on that.
Hi Rahul,
Nice to see you again mate. Yes we need to work on it.
Well the first thing is PR,DA and alexa won't define ranking and traffic so I don't give much importance to it. But while coming to advertising our selling products part it's important to maintain these things attractive.
Today, this is my second article reading on same topic and I love to read similar topics. Page rank and DA metrics evaluate the site value and trust. They still matter and really helps to rank better your blog.
Alexa, PageRank and DA really helps bloggers to earn good money Via Paid Posts. While giving sponsored articles, most of advertisers first consider these rankings of your website. So we need to take these rankings seriously.
Yes bro you are right when it comes to earning. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for sharing this information with us. Can you please elaborate the main methods through which we can increase the page rank of a website? If possible, please write these methods in your upcoming articles.
Hi Anish,
Thanks for asking bro. The main methods to increase Pagerank are SEO, keeping site clean and easy navigation, getting quality backlinks from other bloggers or webmasters, directory submissions, forums, blog commenting and writing guest posts. There may be lot of other factors which influences pagerank but these are the main strategies. I'll come up with a blog post soon. Thanks again for taking time to comment. Have a great day.
Thanks bro…can you please elaborate keep the site clean and easy navigation?
You should have complete control on the fonts, colors and images while designing the navigation bar. Users should feel comfortable with the menu items. Make it simple and effective. Divide the categories so that users find them easily. It is better to avoid graphics and animated stuff. Choose the right colors and fonts relevant to your theme. I hope these tips help you. Thanks again.
Very nice information, valuable content. The main problem of blogging is interesting content. Every blogger has its own definition of interesting content, obviously it's right. However, the right definition of interesting content is when many people like your content, it becomes interesting. And believe me, Bloggers, don't understand this fact.
Thanks Bro, this is helpful and informative. High PR and domain authority gives your site a good reputation and improves your site ranking on search engines which will bring more traffic to your blog, while Alexa Rank attracts advertisers to your blog.
In other words PR, DA and Alexa Rank are all very important factors.
Hello Victor,
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like it.

Yes, I thought about your thread and my thread as well. Wishstone mentioned that the Academy is a little full with stickies, which isn't wrong. More would kinda clutter the forum.
I kinda appreciate the change of the "Combat" Feedback section turning into "PvE Gameplay", mirroring "PVP Gameplay", but some gameplay mechanics are universal and don't seem to fit in either. The Accuracy vs Defense could fit into t hat.
Well, she'll figure something out.

Guidelines for scroll bars
Panning and scrolling allows users to reach content that extends beyond the bounds of the screen.
A scroll viewer control is composed of as much content as will fit in the viewport, and either one or two scroll bars. Touch gestures can be used to pan and zoom (the scroll bars fade in only during manipulation), and the pointer can be used to scroll. The flick gesture pans with inertia.
Note Windows: There are two panning display modes based on the input device detected: panning indicators for touch; and scroll bars for other input devices including mouse, touchpad, keyboard, and stylus.
Dos and don'ts
- Use one-axis panning for content regions that extend beyond one viewport boundary (vertical or horizontal). Use two-axis panning for content regions that extend beyond both viewport boundaries (vertical and horizontal).
- Use the built-in scroll functionality in the list box, drop-down list, text input box, grid view, list view, and hub controls. With those controls, if there are too many items to show all at once, the user is able to scroll either horizontally or vertically over the list of items.
- If you want the user to pan in both directions around a larger area, and possibly to zoom, too, for example, if you want to allow the user to pan and zoom over a full-sized image (rather than an image sized to fit the screen) then place the image inside a scroll viewer.
- If the user will scroll through a long passage of text, configure the scroll viewer to scroll vertically only.
- Use a scroll viewer to contain one object only. Note that the one object can be a layout panel, in turn containing any number of objects of its own.
