3DMark Ice Storm Benchmark
3DMark - The Gamer's Benchmark
3DMark is a graphics benchmark used by millions of people, hundreds of hardware review sites and many of the world's leading technology companies. It's the industry standard gaming performance benchmark, a professional-grade testing tool available to you for free.
• The world's most popular benchmark test since 1997.
• Developed by Futuremark, the benchmark experts.
• Test your device's GPU and CPU performance.
• Compare the fastest Android, iOS, Windows and Windows RT devices.
• 100% free. No ads. No in-app purchases. No restrictions.
Accurate and impartial benchmark tests
Use 3DMark Ice Storm for device-to-device comparisons of mainstream mobile devices. Ice Storm is an OpenGL ES 2.0 benchmark test that uses fixed off-screen rendering at 720p then scales the output to fit the native display resolution of your device. Ice Storm includes two graphics tests designed to stress the GPU performance of your device and a physics test to stress its CPU performance.
Use 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme for device-to-device comparisons of high performance mobile devices. Ice Storm Extreme raises the off-screen rendering resolution to 1080p and uses higher quality textures and post-processing effects in the graphics tests to create a more demanding load for the latest smartphones and tablets.
Use 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited for chip-to-chip comparisons of the hardware inside your device without vertical sync, display resolution scaling and other operating system factors affecting the result. In Unlimited mode the rendering engine uses a fixed time step between frames and renders exactly the same frames in every run on every device. The frames are rendered in 720p resolution "offscreen" while the display is updated with small frame thumbnails every 100 frames to show progress.
Benchmarks you can trust
3DMark and PCMark are the only mobile benchmarks protected by rules for manufacturers. What's more, all our benchmarks are supported by detailed technical guides that explain exactly what's being measured and how the scores are calculated. Better benchmarking starts here.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Boheme San Francisco
Great location, helpful staff.
The location cannot be beat. Columbus Avenue is abuzz with activity night and day. Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Coit Tower, and several great restaurants are within walking distance. Our room faced Columbus Avenue, but we did not notice any noise from the street.
The hotel is much more charming than the business hotels in Union Square and the staff go out of their way to be helpful. They were able to recommend restaurants, reserve a shuttle to the airport and give us strategies for getting tickets to nearby "Beach Blanket Babylon", which I also recommend highly.
A diamond in a beautiful city
This gorgeous little hotel is an absolute gem! I can not think of a single negative - The best location, very comfortable beds, gorgeous decor and ambience, the most charming helpful staff. If you want a faceless, generic hotel there are plenty in the city, but this is a home away from home. If I ever return to San Francisco (and I dearly hope to) I would not think of staying anywhere else.
My favorite too.
My husband and I stayed here last summer. We had a room in the back which was very quiet. I'm not sure what people mean when they say things about hippie decor. The pictures on the website give an accurate idea of what the rooms look like. We loved the ecclectic look (kind of a mixture of french,asian and san francisco) Beautiful colors and lighting. The decor was actually some of the most thoughtful I've ever seen in a hotel. Even in a four star hotel. It's true you have to climb some stairs to get to the reception desk but we even thought that added to the charm and european feel. It's the first time I ever went to a hotel and thought "I wonder where they got that or I think I might paint our room this color at home". And as everyone has already said the location is perfect for restaurants and just about everything else. If you don't want too much noise, ask for a room in the back. We could see the tower on telegraph hill from our room. Anyway, we loved it!
An absolutely fantastic boutique hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and the quirky decor consistent with the hotel's bohemian theme. The location is excellent, right in the middle of North Beach with great restaurants and bars right at the doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay in the Boheme again.
Needs a little TLC
My wife and I had stayed in North Beach before and we knew the area. During our last visit we collected brochures from all the local inns and hotels and decided on the Boheme. The location is great. Just steps from good Chinese and Italian food. Lots of place to walk to and Coit Tower is only a few blocks away.
Two major problems though, the hotel is on the second floor and there is no elevator. We had to schlep our bags up a set of narrow steps to get to the front desk. The second issue was the place apparently has not been redone since the Summer of Love. Thick brocaded bed spreads and accessories was the look. And the odor in the room was such we had to go out and buy some incense to mask the smell. All I needed to complete the look was some love beads.
The smallness of the room did not bother us; we have stayed in boutique hotels in NYC. And the fact that the room faced the main drag was fine, street noise does not bother me either. If the room smelled better I wouldn't have minded the climb up the stairs. The guys at the front desk were very knowledgeable and friendly. A little sprucing up and I would give the place 4 stars.
The service was excellent...Stan was fabulous and helped us with our plans. The hotel is in a great part of town--close to wonderful resturants. The room wasn't too inspiring (romantically) the bed was awful and the sheets didn't feel or look clean. The bathroom looked completely new and cute and we didn't hear anyone else the whole time we were there.
Nice Staff - Small Rooms and Poor Circulation
Very cute hotel but probably will not stay there again. The staff was very helpful and nice however, the small room and lack of proper air circulation was a problem. We were there on a hot day so the lack of air conditioning was really an issue. We had to use a small portable fan, which caused us both to wake up with a sore throat and congestion. The room was very small which also contributed to the heat and stuffiness. Opening the window was a problem at night because of the street noise - it was very loud even with the window closed - several car alarms woke us throughout the night.
On the plus side the staff was very nice and helpful and the location of the hotel was great - walking distance to excellent restaurants and many of the best sites.
My favorite hotel
This is my favorite hotel in the world...okay, maybe with the exception of the Hotel Luna on the Island of Capri in Italy.
Right in the heart of North Beach, the Hotel Boheme overflows with character and charm and I ADORE the staff.
You can literally step outside the door of the hotel and into wonderful Italian coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants.
A fabulous little gem of a place for those who want an interesting and authentic experience in San Francisco.
We picked the Hotel Boheme for the location while on our Honeymoon.
When we got there the location was great and the Boheme and staff were even better. The staff went to great lengths to make sure we were happy. They offered suggestions for restaurants. We enjoyed our room overlooking the street and the noise, sounds, and smells. We will definitely stay here again.
An Epic Weekend
I planned a July 2001 romantic weekend with my ex-husband and the Hotel Boheme was the setting. Bad idea; great hotel. With the proper mate, it is the ideal San Fran love getway destination. The rooms were small yet cozy. The staff was incredibly helpful. It is a great location if you don't mind the street noise. Amazing restaurants nearby as well as being within walking distance from the Wharf, Chinatown, etc.

... people who owned the houses thought but then they must be use to it. We lazed around in the park, absorbing San Francisco and the sun in before having to get our socks off and do some lovely dinner and South America planning! Life is hard sometimes you know!!! San Francisco definitely stole our hearts and this was where we had to leave them as it was time to explore another country and another culture. We better get our Spanish into gear that's all I have to say!! Hasta luego San Fran...we will be back one ...

Of course, right after we risked life and limb making a left turn out of the restaurant into traffic, we saw two places which would have matched our style better. One was named "Mustard's". The other was a road-side drive-in where the locals go. We never made it back to either of them.
The drive to our ...

The New Year has ushered in a new crop of ETF leaders. Here's an overview of five nonleveraged ETFs making the most headway in the past month and what may be driving prices.
These all sport stellar IBD Accumulation-Distribution Ratings, which is on an A to E scale with A being highest and E being lowest. That means institutional investors are heavily buying shares and very few are selling, boosting the odds of further price appreciation.
All of them are trading above their 50- and 200-day moving averages, indicating strong uptrends.

1. Guggenheim Solar (ARCA:TAN)
One-month change: +37.4% vs. 2.8% for the SPDR S&P 500 (ARCA:SPY).
2012 change: -30.74% vs. +15.99% for SPY.
Relative Strength Rating: 48.
Accumulation-Distribution Rating: A+.
Solar ETFs may evolve into the biggest turnaround story of 2013 after they slumped an average of 42% the past three years owing to a perfect storm of government subsidy cuts globally and Chinese oversupply.
Standard & Poor's analysts believe low prices will spark demand for solar systems over the next few years. In an equity report S&P wrote: "We continue to maintain a positive outlook on the solar industry for the longer term, as lower solar system prices should increase demand and make the industry more competitive with traditional sources of energy.
"In addition, the catastrophic events in Japan in March 2011 — the earthquake and tsunami, followed by the accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant — will likely have a notable long-term positive impact on the solar industry. This can already be seen in recent actions taken in countries such as Germany and China that previously had been big supporters of nuclear power.
"Germany announced in May 2011 that it plans to close all of its nuclear power plants by 2022, while China raised its long-term solar system installation targets. Although global incentives are declining, this can be seen as a positive, as the removal of subsidies illustrates the health of the industry.
"We anticipate that other nations will eventually follow this trend and ramp up investments in safer energy sources such as solar and wind."
IBD covered solar ETFs in its Monday edition.

No. 724,356 Int. Cl. G091? 13/24 US. Cl. 40106.21 17 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A display device formed of linearly birefringent material such as wave plate or retardation sheet cutouts such as cellophane or polystyrene, some with three-dimensional shapes, in a moving liquid between polarizing sheets with a light beam shining therethrough.
The present invention relates to display devices and in particular to a device utilizing optical means to produce aesthetic effects.
It is an object of the present invention to produce optical effects involving multicolored figures slowly moving in a circular path while constant change of color of the figures takes place. Such devices may be useful in attracting attention in advertising devices or as room decorations for their aesthetic effect. It has been found that the speed of movement of the figures contributes to the particular mood desired and that a slow steady movement actually contributes to a pleasant relaxed atmosphere.
Basically the display device of the present invention uses birefringent forms floating in a liquid being constantly stirred and which is lighted so as to pass the light through a polarizing sheet, the figures, and a second polarizing sheet. The polarizing sheets may be fixed at different polarization axial relationships to each other or one of the sheets may be mounted to rotate thus constantly changing the axial relationship of the polarizing sheets to each other.
A complete understanding of the invention may be had from the following description of the different embodiments of the invention. In the description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged partially sectioned elevational view of a portion of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 3;
FIG. 3 is an elevational view of a modified embodiment of the form of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a partially sectioned view of another embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a partially sectioned plan view of a portion of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a partially sectioned view of a portion of still another embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a form for floating in the liquid in another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 8 is a sectioned view of FIG. 7 along line 8-8;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of another form for the embodiment contemplated by the form in FIG. 7; and
FIG. 10 is a sectioned view of FIG. 9 along line 10-10.
Referring first to FIG. 1 and to the details of FIG. 1 shown in an enlarged partially sectioned portion shown in FIG. 2, there is shown a light source 11 with a diffusing screen 12 which shines light in a path through polarizing filter 13 and colored cellophane filters 14 and 15, through spherical flask 16 and curved polarizing filter 17. Floating in a liquid 18 are forms 20 made of linearly birefringent material such as wave plates or retardation sheets, within which category are materials such as oriented plastics (i.e. cellophane or polystyrene sheets), or split mica sheets which are preferably formed into a United States Patent 0 "ice variety of three-dimensional shapes, and also overlays of two-dimensional patterns as shown in the various figures.
Since the optical display of colors is enhanced by movement, preferably a slow and steady movement, the forms 20 are kept moving by movement of liquid 18 which is stirred by a magnetic stirrer 21 which consistes of an electric motor 22 having its speed controlled by rheostat 24. The motor 22 rotates a magnet 25 which causes the rotation of magnet 26 located within flask 16 but still within the magnetic field of magnet 25. Magnet 26 is sheathed in a glass or plastic cover so that the metal is not affected by the liquid 18. In the embodiment shown, the flask 16 has been sealed by plate 27 after being filled with liquid 18 and having forms 20 inserted therein. Sheathed magnet 26 rests on this flat portion and spins thereon to stir liquid 18. Use of rheostat 24 allows the stirring speed of liquid 18 to be varied in order to obtain the most desirable effects. Once a speed is found which gives an agreeable effect, that speed may be maintained. In fact, the device may be made so as to run at only one set speed and the adjustment means would then not be necessary.
The liquid 18 may be water or some other clear liquid having a viscosity to allow sufficient buoyancy for the forms 20 to float therein and not drop to the bottom or gather at the top of flask 16. A preservative to prevent the formation of molds should be added to liquid 18 when the liquid is of the type requiring such treatment, such as water.
The changing light and color effects may be enjoyed in a variety of ways. An observer may look into flask 16 by looking through curved polarizing filter 17 as shown, or a flat piece of polarizing sheet material, or he may be in a room where the colored light shines onto a wall or screen 19 and possibly onto the ceiling of the room also. In another way of observing the phenomena, polarizing filter 17 may be eliminated and the observer may look into flask 16 while wearing polarizing glasses 29 as in FIG. 3.
Since the variety of colors is formed by the relationship of the axis of polarization of polarizing filters 13 and 17 or 29 to each other, this variation may be enhanced by the changing of this relationship. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, and in greater detail in FIG. 2, this relationship of axes of polarization may be kept continually changing by the rotation of filter 13 by motor 28 through a connection between filter 13 and motor 28.
Although the polarizing filters 13- and 17 or 29 will produce a background of varying brightness depending upon the polarization axial relationship between the filters, the aesthetic effect may be further enhanced through the use of colored cellophane filters 14 and adding more color to the background. Since these cellophane filters 14 and 15 are also wave plates they can also increase the variety of coloring present. Further color changes may occur by the rotation of filters 14 and 15 either manually or by a continuous rotating system such as that shown for polarizing filter 13.
The source of light 11 in FIGS. l-3 as an electric light with a diffusing screen 12 may be changed for other sources of light. As one alternative the flask, forms and polarizing filters may be placed so that daylight from a window can be the light source required.
In FIGS. l3 the flask 16 for containing liquid 18 andforms 20 has been made with its opening covered by plate 27 bonded to flask 16 and with this opening located at the bottom of flask 16. This form of the invention allows the presentation of a container for liquid 18 and forms 20 somewhat like a crystal ball for decorative appearances. But the opening could alternatively be located in the top of the flask and through the use of a frame would not be visible to the observer Also, a screw type cap or cork could be used instead of a bonded plate to close the opening and it is not a necessity that the top should even be closed except that this is preferred in order to prevent dirt or other foreign particles from entering the flask The container for holding the liquid 18 and forms 20 may have other shapes than the spherical shape of flask 16. For example, the container may have the shape of a cylinder as in FIG. 4. In such a case, the cylindrical container may itself be made of polarizing sheets curved and bonded together with top and bottom of polarizing or other material or may be curved polarizing sheets 31 and 32 being the cylindrical walls of a glass cylindrical container 33 or bonded thereto as illustrated in FIG. 4. The polarizing material may be coated on the container itself in whatever shape the container may have.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, tWo sheets 31 and 32 of polarizing material may be used with the sheets having their axes of polarization at an angle to each other to create a darker background without additional colored filters between light sources 11 and glass container 33. Other types of stirrers may be used such as the type illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6 wherein a stirring vane 35 is mounted on a shaft 36 which passes through a seal to motor 37 which may have a rheostat speed control 38.
FIG. 6 discloses still another embodiment of the present invention. A light source is used and colored cellophane filters may or may not be used, depending upon the eiTect desired. Forms 20 are in a liquid 18 in a spherical flask 16, but the polarizing material is in the shape of a cone 39 located within the flask 16. The forms are best confined within cone 39 and the stirrer vanes 35 are also located so as to affect the liquid 18 within the confines of cone 39.
The forms 20 can take any of a variety of shapes. For best efiects some forms should have bends therein and others may be composed of several noncoinciding superimposed layers, since the resulting different thicknesses of the wave plates will produce the great variety of changing colors under the effect of the polarizing filters. Some forms which have very colorful effects have been illus trated such as accordion pleated forms, those with thin streamers which change their curvature due to the water motion, grating shaped forms where thin cross streamers intersect, and irregular shaped conical sections. These are illustrative of some of the many forms possible and will give a great variety of changing colors. These forms can be used to give an aesthetic etfect even without the polarizing filters shown by coloring of the forms and placing them in a clear or colored liquid. But if it is desired to obtain the polarizing eflect Without polarizing sheets or cones as shown in the figures, then forms of a type such as forms 40 and 41 may be used.
Forms 40 and 41 are illustrated respectively in perspective views in FIGS. 7 and 9 and in section views in FIGS. 8 and 10. In FIGS. 7 and 8 a curved retardation sheet 42 is cemented or otherwise enclosed between polarizing sheets 43 and 44 to produce a form 40 which can be floated in a clear liquid in a spherical or other shaped flask and still have the varicolored effect of the previous embodiments. In a similar manner, a wave plate form 45 is encased in a casing having walls 46 of polarizing material. These forms 40 and 41 are merely illustrative of the manner in which substantially flat, but curved forms, and three-dimensional forms may be individually encased in polarizing material so as to be used in the present invention.
Additional variations of the present invention may be made and included within the basic form of the invention. Other types of light sources may be used and, furthermore, additional sources of light (such as coming from below the flask) may be used with the primary source illustrated to produce other varied color etfects.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that variaus changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what shown in the drawings and described in the specification.

The Powers and Skills chapters are ready for preview.
Wizards.COMmunity asked me to pass this on:
Name of Event: UnCon (UNconventional CONvention)
Dates: October 11-13
Time: Visit http://www.wizards.com/uncon/ for more information and a schedule of events and times.
Room on chat site: Varies by event.
Description of event: It is time once again for UnCon, the UNconventional CONvention held online at the Wizards of the Coast chatsite. This year we have a number of events planned for your gaming pleasure: industry chats, in-character dances, seminars, trivia, online gaming, and much, much more! Please visit the UnCon site at http://www.wizards.com/uncon/ for more information, or contact the UnCon coordinator, WizO_Hydragon, at firstname.lastname@example.com . Want to run a game or conduct a seminar? Please register on the UnCon site.
An updated version of the Equipment chapter has been released. The skills chapter should be ready shortly, and with the release of MM2, the thri-kreen is going to be updated (yet again, though this really is the last time. Until Wizards errata's the MM2.)
Okay, it's finally ready: The equipment preview ... a lot of the stuff included here hasn't been pulled together in one place before, so this may elicit more comment than some of the previous docs. Use the usual feedback forums ...
A Spells chapter preview is now available. Included in this are Domains, and spell lists for clerics, druids and wizards. Psionic powers are to be a separate (and still in progress) chapter.
A preview of the feats chapter is available.
I'm working out some fixes and editing on the Equipment chapter; that will probably be the next thing. The spells chapter is under heavy editing at the moment, and I'm not quite sure when that's going to be done...
The Races and Classes chapters have been frozen. Barring anything totally catastrophic that needs to be fixed, these are going to be the versions of the chapters that go into playtesting.
Next up: Equipment and feats; we're filling in some holes on those, and will hopefully be releasing a preliminary version by the end of the weekend.
So, for those that havn't heard, you can pick up the ESDs worldwide. That's right, no more international restrictions! SVGames is the new distributor for all of WotCs ESDs, including the complete collection of Dark Sun ESDs.
A revision of the Classes chapter is now available.
A second round revision of the races chapter has been released. Up for the first time are previews of the classes and magic chapters.

Remains vs cremains[edit]
Cresix removed my change of "remains" in the discussion of the disposition of AH's ashes to "cremains", the proper term for ashes that are the product of cremation.
cre·mains (kr-mnz) pl.n. The ashes that remain after cremation of a corpse. [Blend of cremated, past participle of cremate and remains.] The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Updated in 2009. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
Just sayin' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevewaclo (talk • contribs) 04:28, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Given that the sentence says "his body was cremated and his remains were scattered", it's clear what form the remains took - there's no need to introduce a slightly obscure technical term here. --McGeddon (talk) 17:33, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Alma mater[edit]
I suggest changing this to "London County Council School of Engineering and Navigation". True, it was only what would now be called a further education college but St Ignatius' College is a mere secondary school. Harfarhs (talk) 22:44, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Infobox photo[edit]
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Despite the public domain claim, the studio publicity still may not be legal for use. It is both undated and unsourced. Review the permission. Hitchcock is not a "film actor" as it incorrectly claims, nor is there a date/year of the image. The public domain claim itself also states the photo must be published between 1923 and 1963. Someone tell me how we know this photo complies without a date? How do we know it's not a 1964 or later photo? By contrast, someone has also removed an image with an OTRS ticket, so there is no question but that it can - and should - be used. That makes no sense. It's also a more recent and frankly, a better image, and was apparently taken by a well-known celebrity photographer too. So on the one hand you have a clearly legal, well-sourced and superior image and on the other you have a possibly illegal, undated and unsourced image and people are complaining? If someone can explain this logically, please do. 2602:304:5EA1:5289:D4A7:F6E3:8AC3:BD54 (talk) 17:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- You went against WP:3RR by putting in the same edit three times in less than an hour, despite being reverted by two editors. Now three editors. As User:Cresix said in reverting you, the Studio publicity photo is public domain and the better image for the infobox. I see you put a WP:Edit warring warning on his Talk page, even though he was the third editor to revert you, and only did it once. This after he put the same warning on your User talk:2602:304:5EA1:5289:44AF:D6AC:77D1:E320 page. No one has backed up your opinion that the Mitchell photo is better for the infobox. It has Hitchcock as an older man. The studio photo has him as he is much better known to the public, and as he looks less than 64 years old, one can assume it was taken between 1923 and 1963. Its permission entry says it is "PD-PRE1964", and it's being used on dozens of WP pages. You distorted that image when you placed it lower, and told me to fix it on my Talk page. There's no reason to use the most recent photo of someone who passed on more than 30 years ago in the infobox. You can place the Mitchell photo lower in the article. - Gothicfilm (talk) 23:01, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
- I invited you to review what WP:3RR actually says before accusing someone of violating it. Clearly you failed to do that. I reverted 3 times. 3RR says "more than 3 times." Surely you can count? But if you want to split hairs, as you apparently do, if I am guilty of 3RR, then so are you and so is every editor who reverted me, since edit warring with no discussion on the talk page, is still a violation. As for what User:Cresix said, what's the factual basis for the comment? Or are you satisfied to mirror it simply because it agrees with you? So mere opinion is sufficient, as long as it's an opinion you agree with? I asked a legitimate, fact-based question and you have still failed to offer a serious, fact-based response. Since we don't know the age of the photo, tell me how you or anyone else can claim it's in the public domain? It's a really simple question, can you provide a simple answer? Also you violated WP:AGF with your accusatory tone, not to mention you repeated the same vacuous claim that I distorted the image. Nonsense. I did nothing but move the image to elsewhere in the article, where it conforms to the exact same size & shape as every other photo in the article. So if that "distorts" it, then you must be saying that all the other photos are "distorted" as well. As to your suggestion here that there's "no reason to use the most recent photo of someone who passed on more than 30 years ago", that also defies simple logic. By the same token then, should we use a photo of Louis B. Mayer, Cecil B. DeMille, John Huston, George Cukor or some other legendary screen directors when they were younger or just starting out, in the infobox? No, obviously you want a recognizable and interesting photo of someone when they were at the height of their game. The publicity still is as dry as toast, unlike the OTRS photo where a better photographer captured a much more interesting, indeed iconic, image. Google the OTRS photo. It's pretty legendary and I would think WP editors would be happy to be able to use it. Guess not. But if you had really wanted to collaborate constructively, you would have simply restored your undated/unsourced and possibly illegal studio still in the Infobox - but you would have also placed the OTRS photo elsewhere in the article, as a good compromise. Instead you just reverted me. Twice - in a matter of minutes. Then had the nerve to lecture me about 3RR? But, per your suggestion, I'll restore the OTRS photo to some other place in the article - although again, it was originally the Infobox photo long before anything I did. I'll also wait until well after 24 hrs have passed to do it. I just couldn't bear another 3RR complaint. 2602:304:5EA1:5289:7D90:770E:FB0F:A6D9 (talk) 02:30, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Where do I start? You couldn't see that the studio photo was being squeezed vertically the way you put it in the article? That photo appears to be of Hitchcock when he was past the age of 50, some three decades after he started out. That's when Hithcock was at the height of his game, in the 1950s, not the 1970s. Louis B. Mayer was not a director, legendary or otherwise. And you're the one who needs to review what WP:3RR actually says, particularly Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit-warring with or without 3RR being breached. The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times. You did the same edit four times in the space of 24 hours and four minutes. You were clearly WP:Edit warring. - Gothicfilm (talk) 03:58, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Now I see what the problems are: First, you can't count. I reverted 3 times not 4. An initial edit is not a revert. One revert from another editor's revert and twice more because YOU reverted TWICE. So now would be a good time for you to admit that you edit-warred. The edit summary is pretty clear. You really should exhibit enough self-awareness to review your own actions before accusing others of the identical conduct. Otherwise it makes you look hypocritical. Or worse, just dense. Second, regarding WP:3RR and your one-sided edit-warring claims, see WP:AVOIDEDITWAR: "The bottom line: use common sense, and do not participate in edit wars. Rather than reverting repeatedly, discuss the matter with others". You failed to follow that policy. I brought this to the talk page, not you. You were too busy edit-warring, then deflecting by finger-pointing. Finally, as regards your quote of 3RR: you're not an administrator - so the same rules apply to you that apply to the rest of us.
- Now let's address the image. For the 3rd time now you've claimed I vertically squeezed the photo. Not once have you addressed my response that: the photo was the exact same size as every other photo in the article. Or my follow up: "So if that "distorts" it, then you must be saying that all the other photos are "distorted" as well." Not responding to either and simply parroting the same complaint over and over again instead, is also a sign of denseness. As regards Hitch's age at the time of the studio photo, he looks to be in his 40s in my view, which if you read the article, would place the photo in the section 1940s films. Whereas even the article notes, and you yourself concede, that the following decade were his peak years, which that studio still then pre-dates. But I'll go at it another way: do you know anything about photography? If so, can you honestly tell me the studio still is a superior image compared to the Mitchell pic? Hardly. I could discuss the quality of the photography with you, but I'm sure even you must concede, all things being equal, which is a better shot. But you also never addressed my core question: how do we even know the studio still is in the public domain, since it is neither dated nor sourced? I'm still waiting for you or someone else to address this fundamental question. Finally, you did successfully make one point: Louis B. Mayer was clearly not a legendary director. But obviously he was a legendary producer. Congrats on your one successful attempt at hair-splitting. 2602:304:5EA1:5289:A95E:C639:58B5:6D6B (talk) 18:43, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Again, where do I start? Where's the date on the Mitchell photo? Hitchcock is clearly past 65, my guess past 70. So that shot is not from his peak period. You distorted the studio photo when you moved it. I feel no need to discuss why other photos aren't distorted. You've been outvoted by three other editors as to the issue of putting the Mitchell photo in the infobox, so that issue is done. No one has backed your position. And the first thing you said above is a strawman argument at best. I wrote You did the same edit four times in the space of 24 hours and four minutes - which is entirely true. And you come back with I can't count? When I clearly said "edit", not "revert"? You were clearly edit warring. - Gothicfilm (talk) 23:02, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- I know where you can start: buy a mirror. You never denied you edit-warred - because you can't. You can only deflect. A rather desperate strategy actually. Accept personal responsibility for your own actions and don't worry so much about others. Your oft-repeated "distorted photo" nonsense is now so clearly, transparently ridiculous that even you can't defend it. So since you "feel no need to discuss" it, I "feel no need" to waste anymore time even dignifying it. Nor has anything been "voted" or "outvoted", because there has been no "vote." Just reverts without discussion on the talk page in violation of WP policy. Perhaps a formal RfC on the legality of the studio photo would give us an actual and definitive vote. Also perhaps a speedy on the photo, since it's provenance is in question, would also get some answers. At least we'd have an actual vote by people who don't have some ownership stake in the outcome - instead of by editors who seem to think they WP:OWN this article. If that consensus says it's status in the public domain can be assured, then fine. But the question is a reasonable one, deserving of a reasoned and reasonable response. I also don't know the date of the Mitchell photo or Hitch's age in it; but yes he looks older, which frankly, is the point. He looks how most people would immediately recognize him. He looks like Hitchcock the legendary director and film icon. I also know it's apparently a widely circulated & critically accepted photo so it must have some quality for all these various websites to use it. I also know that I asked you to compare the two images and challenged you to say which was the better photographic image. Your silent, no response, was telling. By comparison, how widely circulated is the poorer quality studio still? Mostly just on WP mirror sites. Deservedly so. It's a poor, generic washed out photo. It could have been taken at the DMV. But the bottomline is: here's something else that I do know with absolute certainty about the Mitchell photo, that you don't know with the same level of certainty about the studio still: I know it's completely & totally legal to use on Wikipedia. The End. 2602:304:5EA1:5289:112E:B710:7104:11C4 (talk) 02:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm under no obligation to spend time answering all or any of your questions. You were outvoted by the fact three editors reverted you. No one has supported your position. You can call that The End if you want. - Gothicfilm (talk) 03:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- As I'm under no obligation to waste more time with you, since you're incapable of intelligent dialogue or coherent responses and are ignorant of WP policy - which you routinely either violate or misinterpret. So we're done. I will no longer feed the troll. 2602:304:5EA1:5289:5D6D:6CEE:FC28:69D3 (talk) 07:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
- The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
it's totally absurd to call Hitchcock simply "British", given he made his home in Hollywood for most of his life, where he died, his major movies are distinctly American, and Hollywood was integral to his life. his American citizenship is simply an additional factor. given that Hollywood is such a prominent part of American culture, and Hitchcock became a major force within that culture, it is just silly to deny him of his Americanism -- where most of his major movies take place. trying to use some rule to explain away why he is denied being called British-American is the height of irrelevant pedantry.
actually, to appease the pedants, and yet provide the common-sense education that Wiki should be about, the first line should read something like: "..was an English-born film director and producer who made many major Hollywood films." that is, if people here are truly interested in actually informing people rather than holding on to their unbendable (but often unhelpful) rules. the introductory paragraph should be, in fact, about giving the reader as much basic info as possible within a few sentences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:14, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
i would have changed this again myself, but unfortunately i am having log in problems. should definitely be "British-American". that is, for people who exercise common sense.

No, He's British with American citizenship. See Nicole Kidman] and the way they handled it there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 10:19, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm pretty certain someone's nationality is the citizenships they hold. It's a nuetral position and will stop a nationalist pissing war between Brits and Americans. How another page does it is irrelevant. I'll bow to a consensus here, not there.--Allthestrongbowintheworld (talk) 10:38, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- He was a British citizen when he became notable and was a US citizen for only the final third of his career; it seems best to emphasize that he was English. Perhaps edit the lede to read, "...Hitchcock moved to Hollywood in 1939, and became a US citizen in 1955." Ewulp (talk) 01:37, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- That could be misinterpreted to mean he moved to the U.S. as a child. The opening could simply read English film director and producer. Either way Hitchcock moved to Hollywood in 1939 and became a U.S. citizen in 1955 should stay in the lead as it seems like the best compromise and most accurate to me. The fact he became a U.S. citizen should not be only mentioned many scroll-downs into the article. - Gothicfilm (talk) 20:42, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- "Anglo-American" is the way to go! He was not a British director; he was an English director AND an American director.Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 14:54, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- Nicole Kidman was a U.S. citizen at birth. She doesn't reside in the U.S., and never turned her back on OZ. Hitch didn't make another movie in Britain for 30 years (Dial M for Murder was shot in Burbank).Shemp Howard, Jr. (talk) 14:54, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- The opening paragraph explains his nationalities clearly and concisely. "Anglo-American" could be misleading as it has several definitions, for example "of or belonging to the British American colonies" or "An American of English or other white European origin, esp. in contrast to American Indians or (later) Hispanic Americans." (both OED) Hitchcock became notable as an English director in England (1921–39). Subsequently he was an English director active in the US (1939–55) and after 1955 was an English-born American director. The first three sentences already provide this information; why add ambiguity? Ewulp (talk) 21:45, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

"SSH SFTP Updater Support" is the easiest way to keep your WordPress installation up-to-date with SFTP.
Works as described. Thank you.
My server only had ssh connection and i was forced to install any theme or plugin manually. The updates were unable to succeed and i was trying to find a solution to bypass the ftp login screen for days. Finally i found this amazing plugin and my problem is now solved.
This plugin is so handy. It makes updating already-deployed sites a lot easier by not forcing me to install a ton of plugins manually.
It also gets around a few issues with VPN and FTP on some environments with the SSH option.
Saved me a lot of messing around with permissions and apache logs. This allows you to update plugins and anything else when using a server that requires an Key File rather than a password e.g. Amazon.
Brilliant. Thanks.
I had a site in Amazon, and everytime I wanted to update plugins or the core was a pain in the ass, with this plugin it's simple and secure!
Each plug-in is required to do only one thing: it has to work. So does this one. Thanks, devs!
Works great! Lots of thanks for this.
1 click install worked like charm!! not sure why the SSH feature is not in the WP core...
Excellent job with the plugin.
This plugin make my life easier. Works great! Thank You
Install the plugin, activate, enter the passphrase. Just works!
