Love this product - much lighter, silkier consistency than other serums/hair oils I've tried.
Excellent product and great product
Fantastic product can be used in all different ways hair feels so soft and and looks incredible.
Great Product! Had my hair lightened and by using this oil my hair has never felt so soft!
Used this before so know it's excellent.
Highly recommend, helps with damage hair problem.
Great product
Slightly lighter consistency to the regular (standard) ultimate elixir. As I use it in damp hair I prefer the standard version but this is good to use in between and it smells nice.
Lovely product . My hair is bleached and has been breaking it's been that damaged, I've been using this everyday as a pre shampoo, whilst my hair is wet and then dry daily until it's ready to be washed again. It's left no product build up on my hair. It leaves my hair feeling very soft and manageable and smells divine.
Great product

Grassy field with marked sites. Manager courteous and efficient. Washrooms are old, in need of updating, but clean. Wi-Fi works well. OK for an overnight stop, but will try another place next time. - BillR

Nice camping on grassy sites. Sites are large, all pull-thru sites. Staff is super friendly. No shade. The problem is the electric. The park was half empty and the voltage was low. Only able to run one thing at a time and the voltage drops very low. We never ran an air conditioner. The park is aware of the problem, but there are no plans to upgrade it. - ken2560

This is a nice park. It is basically an open field where I could met my satellite TV and Internet to work just fine. The manager has owned it for a year and is very nice. The big negative is the power. You get 30 amp which is okay but the voltage drops as low as 102 volts when the air conditioner is turned on. Our neighbor actually ran his generator because of the power issue. - Doug67

We were given site #41 close to Dragon Lake. Beautiful view of lake, but all gravel base - picnic table, but no grass or trees this close to lake. DW uses power wheelchair. Park definitely not wheelchair friendly - gravel too large - scooters (with larger tires) would probably be okay. No ramps to washroom complex.
Would stay here again but would opt for treed site - gravel pad, picnic table, grass, and trees. Also closer to washrooms/showers. - DCM/JMB

We've stayed in literally dozens of campgrounds and RV resorts across Canada and the US. If I had to choose the nicest resort we've ever been to, this one would be it - without question. We booked slightly ahead of the Labour Day weekend and expected to take what we could get, based on the short notice. We were VERY pleasantly surprised to find ourselves assigned to the largest RV site we've ever been in! We could have put our 40' motorhome, tow vehicle, and ANOTHER 40' motorhome into that single site! Besides being wide and spacious, we were an end site - so the grassy area with picnic table that was also part of our site was like having our own personal park! Walking paths, Dragon Lake just metres from our doorstep, and a secure gated beautifully kept resort. I could have moved in for the rest of my life. Cable (which we didn't use - we have a satellite dish), speedy Internet (which we did use), laundry, restrooms, water, sewer, 30 amp power. Friendly helpful staff. The lovely town of Quesnel about 5 - 10 minutes away. Groceries and a Walmart almost on the doorstep for convenience. And Barkerville (our primary objective) about an hour's drive away. This is the nicest RV resort (it's much too nice to call it a campground!) we've ever stayed in. I would highly recommend it and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again - and again and again and again! LOVED it! - Kelly S

Very nice park all sites have plenty of room. The campground has two parts an upper part and a lower part down by the lake. We stayed in the upper part which does not have the dense trees and shaded as much as the lower part. The stay was nice, generator time is specified 9-11 and 5-8 in the evening which is adequate. Gates are locked at night so don't get caught out after 10:00 P:M or you will be walking in. We would stay here again. - monaco cruiser

Illinois Senate Approves Limits on Scholarships Legislators Award
February 25, 2010
The Illinois Senate on Wednesday approved legislation to reform a system in which legislators can give out college scholarships to anyone they want -- a system that has led to a series of cases of such scholarships going to those with ties to campaign donors, the Chicago Tribune reported. The Senate didn't go as far as backing the elimination of the scholarships, which some reform groups have urged. But the Senate would ban the award of scholarships to anyone whose family could be linked to a campaign contribution without the last five years. Further, family members of recipients would be banned for five years from making a contribution to the legislator who awarded the scholarship. The measure now moves to the House of Representatives.

As Moses stipulated regarding the Covenant with God in accordance with the law received on Sinai, so Jesus, from a hill on the shore of Lake Galilee, gives to his disciples and to the crowd a new teaching that begins with the Beatitudes.

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - Pope Francis resumed his Wednesday General Audiences teachings on the Church on August 6, 2014, after a July pause. In this particular instruction he took for his text the Beatitudes and, in a dialogue, underscored the implications of the Beatitudes in the life of every believer.
*** ***
Dear Brothers and Sisters, good morning!
In the previous catechesis, we saw how the Church constitutes a people -- a people prepared with patience and love by God, to whom we are all called to belong. Today, I would like to make evident the novelty that characterizes this people: it is truly a new people, who are founded on the New Covenant established by the Lord Jesus with the gift of his life. This novelty does not deny the previous way nor is it opposed to it; rather, it carries it forward, it leads it to fulfillment.
There is a very significant figure, which is the hinge between the Old and the New Testament: that of John the Baptist. For the Synoptic Gospels, he is the "precursor," the one who prepares the Lord's coming, predisposing the people to conversion of heart and the reception of God's now close consolation. For John's Gospel, he is the "witness," in as much as he makes us recognize in Jesus He who comes from on high, to forgive our sins and to make his people his Bride, first fruit of the new humanity.
As "precursor" and "witness," John the Baptist has a central role within the whole of Scripture, in as much as he is a bridge between the promise of the Old Testament and its fulfillment, between the prophesies and their realization in Jesus Christ. With his witness, John indicates Jesus to us, he invites us to follow him, and he tells us in no uncertain terms, that this requires humility, repentance and conversion: it is an invitation that he makes, to humility, to repentance and to conversion.
As Moses stipulated regarding the Covenant with God in accordance with the law received on Sinai, so Jesus, from a hill on the shore of Lake Galilee, gives to his disciples and to the crowd a new teaching that begins with the Beatitudes. Moses gave the Law on Sinai and Jesus, the new Moses, gives the Law on that hill, on the shore of Lake Galilee.
The Beatitudes are the path that God indicates as an answer to the desire of happiness inherent in man, and perfects the Commandments of the Old Covenant. We are used to learning the Ten Commandments - you certainly all know them, your learned them in catechism - but we are not used to repeating the Beatitudes.
Let us try to recall them and to imprint them, in our hearts. Let's do this: I will say them one after the other and you will repeat them. Agreed?
First: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." [Hall repeats]
"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account." I will help you: [the Pope repeats with the people] "Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account."
"Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in Heaven." [Hall repeats]
Good! But let's do something: I give you a task for home, a task to do at home. Take the Gospel, the one you carry with you . Remember that you must always carry a small Gospel with you, in your pocket, bag, always; the one you have at home. Carry the Gospel; and, the Beatitudes are in the first chapters of Matthew - I believe in the 5th. And today, tomorrow read them at home. Will you do it? [Hall: yes!] Not to forget them, because it is the Law that Jesus gives us! Will you do it? Thank you.
In these words is all the novelty brought by Christ, and the whole novelty of Christ is in these words. In fact, the Beatitudes are Jesus' portrait, his way of life, and they are the way of true happiness, which we also can live with the grace that Jesus gives us.
In addition to the new Law, Jesus also gives us the "protocol" on which we will be judged. We will be judged at the end of the world. And what will be the questions we will be asked there? What will be the questions? What is the protocol on which the Judge will judge us? It is the one we find in the 25th Chapter of Matthew's Gospel.
Today, the task is to read the 5th Chapter of Matthew's Gospel, where the Beatitudes are, and to read Chapter 25 where the protocol is, the questions we will be asked on Judgment Day. We won't have titles, credits or privileges to put forward. The Lord will recognize us if, in turn, we recognized him in the poor, the hungry, the indigent and marginalized, in the suffering.
This is one of the fundamental criteria to verify our Christian life, against which Jesus invites us to measure ourselves every day. I read the Beatitudes and I think how my Christian life should be, and then I do my examination of conscience with this Chapter 25 of Matthew. Every day: I did this, I did this, and I did this . It will do you good. They are simple things, but concrete.
Dear friends, the New Covenant consists, in fact, of this: in recognizing ourselves in Christ, enveloped by mercy and the compassion of God. This is what fills our heart with joy, and it is this that makes our life a beautiful and credible testimony of the love of God for all the brothers we meet every day. Remember the tasks! Fifth chapter of Matthew and Chapter 25 of Matthew. Thank you!

2002 Dodge Intrepid
transmission Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The Dodge Intrepid, Stratus & other Chrysler sedans are infamous for oil sludge problems with the 2.7L V6 engine. If someone offers to sell you a 2.7L V6 model, it's only worth the price of the scrap metal it's going to shortly turn into.
NOTE: Only the 2.7L V6 has the oil sludge problem. Our "Avoid like the Plague" designation is ONLY for models with the 2.7L V6 engine. All other available engines are very reliable with no major problems.
Even with regular maintenance, the oil sludge defect eventually destroys the 2.7L engine typically around 80,000-100,000 miles. The only true fix we know about is to put in the larger 3.2L engine, which has a great reputation.
This issue was never deemed a safety defect by the Feds, so there was no recall. In the end, Chrysler got away with FOUR YEARS worth of defective 2.7L V6 engines in their sedans.

Maybe the flags were stolen by another patriotic American who was too cheap to buy his own flags....or maybe he/she was a patriotic American who was also a thief.

Temple Chai Religious Education Not Just for Kids
Byline: Submitted by Peggy Ann Buchman, Temple Chai Submitted by Peggy Ann Buchman, Temple Chai
Laura Perpinyal begins her third year as director of congregational Learning at Temple Chai, a Reform Jewish Congregation in Long Grove.
Perpinyal believes that she and the temple's clergy, senior Rabbi Stephen Hart, Associate Rabbi Barry Cohen and Cantor Scott Simon, together with the temple's staff and teachers, are partners with the temple's congregants in implementing lifelong Jewish learning.
"My vision of Jewish education is learning, living and leading," she said. "At Temple Chai, we are all learners. We create a passion for living a Jewish life and empower our learners to develop a personal connection to Judaism, God, Israel and Jewish people-hood."
Perpinyal said that by exploring diverse Jewish texts, "we touch the minds, hearts, and souls of our congregation."
"Temple Chai is not a 'top-down' temple," said Perpinyal. "Rather, we practice 'relational Judaism,' crafting educational programs for religious and Hebrew school students and adults that meet their needs and desires. My door is always open for suggestions from our members, including our students," she said. "I speak with our congregants about our programs almost every day."
Perpinyal has developed goals and objectives for each religious school class from kindergarten through 12th grade. Students learn lessons that are important in their everyday lives, she said.
For example, said Perpinyal, some highlights include kindergarten through second-grade students studying the celebration of Jewish holidays as a family and how to do good deeds. A goal for the third grade is to discuss the ethical values of the stories in the Torah and how those values can apply each day.
The fourth grade learns about life cycle and family experiences, including a study of loss and mourning. Seventh-graders, among other things, learn that "an obligation of Judaism is to develop the leadership skills to make a positive impact on the community."
Temple Chai's eighth- to 12th-grade religious school students meet students from Beth Judah, a conservative congregation, and Beth Am, a Reform temple, to create a community high school across denominational lines.
The class of more than 150 students has such diverse goals as learning about the history and culture of Israel and discussing the joys and problems of being a teenager in the suburbs.
"We discuss happiness for teenagers," said Perpinyal. Guest speakers frequently address this class.
Perpinyal has introduced parent and family participation in each religious school class. Through this program, parents and family members have the opportunity to "engage in active discussions with their children on matters that relate to the goals of the class," she said.
Perpinyal recognizes that families are busy with public school activities and may not have time to discuss matters that are the focus of the temple's religious school classes. By allowing time during religious school classes for parents to participate, Temple Chai has "empowered parents to discuss the classes' goals with their children at the temple," she said. "I hope that these discussions continue during the week."
For example, said Perpinyal, the fifth grade, for family education, discusses the relevance of Holocaust Memorial Day and how to use the lessons of the Holocaust to continually fight against injustice in the world. …

President Obama accused Republican presidential candidates on Thursday of playing election politics over high gasoline prices, and mocked them for resisting development of alternative energy sources.
Steve Martin has gone social media on us, writing a book about Twitter. There are serious things to say about that ... but also 10 really funny tweets he collected.
Vice president Joe Biden spoke to auto industry workers in Ohio Thursday about the auto bailout. Biden speaks to working-class American voters, say analysts, in a race that could be between two Harvard-trained presidential candidates – Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
The Obama campaign is holding screenings of 'The Road We've Traveled' across the US on Thursday night. The film's director is Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim.
In a decision that could impact gun control nationwide, a Virginia judge on Wednesday awarded the families of two victims of the Virginia Tech massacre $8 million. Advocates of campus carry say they will use the ruling to press for more gun rights on campuses.
Rick Santorum needs a big boost in the delegate count to catch up to Mitt Romney, and it's not clear that a Newt Gingrich exit would deliver it.
A weak economy and high debt levels are prompting more young adults to return to the family nest, a new survey shows. Perhaps surprisingly, most are happy with their living arrangements.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is in Afghanistan to try to repair relations after the Quran-burning incident and a mass shooting of civilians. The fact that the US has spirited away the accused shooter complicates his mission.
He hasn't won a single state primary or caucus, yet Ron Paul soldiers on in the GOP presidential race. He is quietly amassing delegates to the GOP national convention, but his real aim is to infuse the party with his brand of Republicanism.
Mitt Romney said he would 'get rid' of Planned Parenthood. Later Romney campaign officials said Romney meant he would cut federal funding to it. Democrats are pouncing on the Planned Parenthood statement.
Bartholomew Granger was also accused of wounding three other people, including a daughter authorities said he ran over with a pickup truck while he tried to escape.
Rod Blagojevich got on a flight for Colorado Thursday morning. By this afternoon, Blagojevich will trade his Oxxford suit for prison khakis
The parents of two slain students had sued the university, alleging that officials acted unreasonably by failing to warn students sooner.
The guest list was heavy on celebrities but also included donors to the President's re-election campaign.
Some senators challenged not just how to pay for a $109 billion highway bill, but also whether Washington should even continue its role financing the nation's roads, bridges, and ports.
Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is slated to report to prison Thursday to serve a sentence for corruption. On Wednesday he bade a public goodbye at an event that was half solemn, half street fair.
The Rev. Robert H. Schuller's very public split with the megachurch he founded, along with all family members, points to the perils involved in handing over the reins to the next generation, say analysts. Crystal Cathedral fits that pattern.
GOP leaders hoped a long primary season would engage voters and help build organization, just as it had for Barack Obama in 2008. They didn't count on how toxic the 2012 race would turn.
Two recent surveys seem to conflict over how Americans would prefer to handle the threat of a nuclear Iran.
In the Rose Garden, Obama and Cameron say local forces will take 'full responsibility' for Afghanistan's security in 2014, but their readiness is not assured despite years of training.

Suds Bros Car WashRead MoreThe employees at Suds Brothers don't rely on newfangled equipment to do their jobs. They don't depend on fancy gadgets, nor do they try to coax old fire trucks out of retirement just to use their high-powered hoses. Instead, Suds Brothers staffers always hand wash vehicles to remove actual grease, dirt, and smudges from customers' cars. They join forces and scrub rides during six different types of washes, ranging from a basic wash to a platinum service that includes a triple-clear coat protectant, interior and exterior dressing, and a wheel package. Customers who are short on time can skip the full packages and choose from various a la carte services, including tri-color polishes, wheel cleanings, and tire dressings.900 La Barr Meadows RoadGrass Valley, CA US
Nuts & Bolts Auto RepairRead MoreWe are a full service repair shop dedicated to keeping you safe on the road. Rob is a dealership trained mechanic and has been working in the Auburn area for over 15 years.10101 Streeter RoadAuburn, CA US
America's Tint AuburnRead MoreThe staff at America's Tint protects automobile interiors from heat and UV rays and provides privacy for drivers and their valuables with window tints by 3M, ASWF, and DarkMatter. The technicians tackle jobs of all sizes, whether it's a single rear window on a sedan or every piece of glass on a truck or SUV. While applying the tinted film, they lay it neatly and snuggly over each window so the tints don't look like oversized hand-me-downs from a 1970s van. In addition to automotive tinting, they offer commercial and residential tinting, detailing services, and vinyl graphics.11740 Atwood RdAuburn, CA US
VIP Party NetworkRead MoreAs if VIP Party Network's stretch limo was not luxurious enough already, the all-white ride's front doors open upwards like a Lamborghini's. This opulent chariot fits inconspicuously into the rest of the fleet of luxury-brand limos, plus two all-black party buses with interiors that resemble a small nightclub. Aboard these vehicles, drivers transport partiers to and from local hot spots including Mix Downtown and The Park Ultra Lounge. More than just chauffeurs, VIP Party Network secures VIP entrance to the clubs, stocks party buses with complimentary beverages, and offers upgrades such as personal photographers who document the night's festivities so they can be paper-clipped to job resumés.1200 Athens Ave.Lincoln, CA US

The trio first came together back in 2001 when they would work on one another's cars every Friday; far from going unnoticed, their super-shiny cars soon won them a steady stream of other clients, and before they knew it, they had a tidy little business while their friends were stuck delivering pizzas. Today, at JLH Detail, they work hard to give each and every car they come across a just-purchased shine. Wash and detail services can be scheduled at regular intervals, and the crew will bring its mobile unit straight to the customer's home or workplace, saving them time that could be spent on more important things, like teaching dogs to read.818 Morning Dove LnRocklin, CA US

James Harden logged 35 minutes on the court in Thursday's game, more than any Oklahoma City player besides Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha. He played 17 minutes, 13 seconds in the first half, a mere 28 seconds fewer than Westbrook and 29 fewer than Durant, who just about everyone agrees are pretty important to the Thunder's championship hopes. The manufactured controversy of whether Harden should start for the rest of the NBA Finals is therefore a waste of hot air. Thunder coach Scotty Brooks is not likely to move the Sixth Man of the Year into the starting...

I'm kinda thinking it's too bad that the LDS people have an on-again off-again relationship with multiple Gods. They should be like the Hindus and just accept all the gods! That way there's no issue at all when a bunch of LDS people go down and pray to other gods. :)

16. The method of
Generally, the invention relates to laptop computers and computer graphics, and more particularly, the invention relates to providing accelerated graphics port capabilities on a laptop computer platform.
An Accelerated Graphics Port speeds up data transfer between a video card and Random Access Memory (RAM) when compared to standard graphics displays. In general, PCI makes the video card (or port) run at the same speed as other components in a computer system (such as the audio card, or the hard drive, for example). However, the AGP runs on a separate bus, so there is no superfluous data being transmitted to or from the video card. Similarly, AGP 2X, AGP 4X, and more generally, AGP "N"X provide a separate bus, at 2 or 4 or "N" times the speed of other computer system components. Thus, for example, the standard known as AGP 4X, has a 133 MHz bus (4�33 MHz) and provides state-of-the-art graphics for games, art, and image intense programs. However, there are limitations that prevent the advantages of higher-performance AGPs (high-AGP) from being realized on a laptop computer (or "laptop").
One obstacle to providing high-performance AGP to a laptop is that personal computer (PC) design guidelines require an AGP chip for the laptop, but allow for only one AGP chip at a time in a computer system. This means that a low power/low performance AGP chip is built into the laptop, and this precludes an additional AGP chip (a higher-performance AGP) from being remotely added to the laptop to improve AGP performance.
The electronics that support powerful graphics processing generate too much heat to place high-performance AGP in a laptop. In addition, a powerful graphics processing requires significant amounts of power. Accordingly, even if heat constraints were ignored and a high-AGP were used in a laptop, the laptop's battery would discharge very quickly. Thus, computer users who prefer laptops because of the portability and space advantages offered by laptops do not get to enjoy the advanced 3D graphics provided by high-performance AGPs. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to provide devices and methods for providing high-performance AGP quality graphics to laptop computers.
The invention provides technical advantages as an AGP Link device that enables the integration of AGP on a laptop. In one embodiment, the AGP Link device is embodied as an AGP Link chip that enables a laptop to experience AGP graphics performance via a docking station. As an alternative embodiment, the invention is a method of using an AGP Link chip to provide AGP graphics to a laptop by using a docking station. Accordingly, the invention provides AGP capabilities to a laptop, thus allowing a laptop user to enjoy the benefits of laptop portability and size, while enjoying the visual advantages of an AGP.
In one embodiment the present invention is advanced graphics port (AGP) link chip. The AGP link chip includes a first serial port coupled to logic, a first parallel port coupled to the logic, and a second parallel port coupled to the logic. The logic is preferably capable of intercepting an AGP signal and reconfiguring a header portion of the AGP signal.
In another embodiment, the invention is a system for providing a high performance accelerated graphics port (AGP) to a laptop computer. The system includes a processor, and an AGP link chip coupled to the processor via a memory control hub.
In yet another embodiment, the invention is a method of providing a high performance accelerated graphics port (AGP) to a laptop computer. The method includes intercepting an AGP signal, attaching a header to the AGP signal, serializing the AGP signal so that a high performance AGP graphics chip powers a display when a laptop is docked with a docking station having a high performance AGP graphics chip, so that a low performance AGP graphics chip in the laptop powers a display when a laptop is not docked. Of course, other features and embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. After reading the specification, and the detailed description of the exemplary embodiment, these persons will recognize that similar results can be achieved in not dissimilar ways.
Accordingly, the detailed description is provided as an example of the best mode of the invention, and it should be understood that the invention is not limited by the detailed description. Furthermore, the invention should be read as being limited only by the claims.
Various aspects of the invention, as well as an embodiment, are better understood by reference to the following DETAILED DESCRIPTION. To better understand the invention, the DETAILED DESCRIPTION should be read in conjunction with the drawings in which:
The invention provides systems, devices, and methods for using more than one Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) to process graphics for a single computer monitor. In one embodiment, the invention is a method of providing advanced/high-performance AGP capabilities to a laptop computer by intercepting AGP signals from a laptop and converting the AGP signals to signals from a high-performance AGP maintained remotely from the laptop, preferably in a docking station. In another embodiment, the invention is a graphics control chip that intercepts AGP signals and wraps a new header, or changes the existing header, so that a chosen display will use a high-performance AGP chip when the laptop is coupled to a docking station. In yet a further embodiment, the invention busses, a is a system that incorporates a graphics control chip with multiple AGP busses, computer and a docking station. Accordingly, the invention provides the previously unknown advantages of high-performance AGP graphics to a laptop display.
When using a computer as a workstation such as at home or at an office, a user typically wants high performance and large peripherals, such as a large monitor, a large keyboard, and a mouse, for example. However, such items are difficult to carry around, and thus are not integrated into portable devices, such as laptops. Accordingly, the advantages of large peripherals are provided to laptop users by using a device known as a docking station. In general, a docking station provides cable management by incorporating "docking ports" that mate (or "plug") on one side directly to a laptop, The opposite side of these ports mate directly to peripherals. More advanced docking stations provide expansion options, such as PCI add-in slots.
The processor 112 may be a microprocessor such as a Pentium, Strong Arm, or Athlon microprocessor, or may be a digital signal processor, for example. Memory 114 may be any type of programmable memory, such as RAM, or a separate memory device. The graphics controller 124 controls graphics output via a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) 122, and the analog output of the DAC 122 is used by a monitor 120 to provide a viewable output to a user. The south bridge 130 maintains logic and programming for communication with a PCI bus 132 that is also maintained in the laptop.
Coupled to the PCI bus is a docking station port 140. The docking station port 140 provides the electrical connection to a docking station 150 via a docking station receiving port 160 (accordingly, the components comprising the layout of the docking station 150 are generally referred to by the referred to block diagram 150). The a docking station receiving port 160 is likewise coupled to a PCI to PCI bridge 170. The PCI-to-PCI bridge 170 that converts signals received on the docking station receiving port 160 into signals appropriate for a docking-station based PCI bus 180. The docking station 150 provides expansion and additional peripherals via ports and expansion slots such as a port 190, which may be an parallel or serial port, for example, or an expansion slot, for example.
The invention provides the advantages of a high-performance AGP to a laptop via a docking station. Accordingly, advantages of the invention may be understood by reference to
Accordingly, when the laptop 200 is plugged into the docking station 250, the processor 212 uses the high-performance AGP graphics chip 270, and when the laptop is not connected to a docking station, the microprocessor uses the on-board low-power AGP graphics chip 224, although the processor does not necessarily know that the laptop is docked. Typically, when the high-performance AGP graphics chip 270 is employed, a monitor 282, which may be a high-definition device such as a LCD display, that is coupled to the high-performance AGP graphics chip via a DAC 280, displays the graphics output of the processor 212. However, it should be noted that some monitors are digitally based, and thus, an ADC is often optional.
Of course, the laptop 200 maintains the processor 212, such as a Pentium, or other processor, as discussed above, coupled to a memory controller hub 210 which in turn is coupled to the AGP link 230. It should be understood that a laptop comprises many other systems and chips, which are well known in the art and are necessary for understanding the invention.
An AGP link chip (generally) is preferably embodied as a single chip having the ability to be configured for a laptop implementation or a docking station implementation. Of course, it should be understood that separate AGP link chips may be used for the docking station and the laptop, and such an implementation is within the scope of the invention. The AGP link 230 enables a laptop processor to access high-performance graphics by using an off-board (or remote) high-performance AGP chip. In one embodiment, the AGP link 230 is embodied as a multi-port bridge, and in a preferred embodiment, the AGP link 230 is a three-port bridge having two parallel ports and one serial port. In this embodiment, a first parallel port may, in a first mode (a mother-board mode), provide connectivity between the AGP link 230 and an onboard graphics accelerator. Similarly, in a second mode (a docking station mode), the first parallel port connects the AGP link 230 to a docked graphics accelerator.
In one embodiment, when the notebook is not docked, the first parallel AGP port signals are routed directly to a second parallel AGP port, preferably via a repeater. If the notebook is docked, then the first parallel port includes two modes. In a first mode, the first parallel port forwards data to a data processing block (not shown). In a second mode, the first parallel port forwards data to the serial port.
A serial port provides a serial interface between the AGP link 230 in the notebook 200, and a second AGP link 232 in the docking station 250. When docked, the serial port processes requests from a graphics accelerator in the docking station connected to the first parallel port via a serial link. In one embodiment, the data is accepted from the graphics accelerator in a parallel format, packetized, encoded, and transmitted to the serial port in the AGP link 230 over a serial link. The serial port on the AGP link 230 de-serializes, decodes, and de-packetizes the data and sends it to a data processing block for processing. The AGP link's first serial port also accepts data from the processing block and transmits it to the serial port.
In a preferred embodiment, an AGP link provides a second parallel AGP port that provides an interface between the AGP link and core logic. The second parallel port communicates requests from the first parallel port or the serial port to core logic. In one embodiment, the second parallel port incorporates PCI master and target state machines as well as AGP master and target state machines 231, 233. In a secondary mode, the second parallel port is disabled. When not docked, the outputs of the first parallel port connect directly to the inputs of the second parallel port via a repeater.
Preferably, software and logic maintained by an AGP link is capable of "fooling" a MCH and a processor into not detecting the AGP link, and into "thinking" that the selected AGP graphics chip (also known as the selected AGP graphics chip) is the only graphics chip running graphics on the computer system (the computer believes that the graphics chip selected by the AGP link is the graphics chip the computer is attached to). One general operation of an AGP link chip can be generalized as an AGP link chip algorithm.
The algorithm 300 begins with a boot act 310 in which the AGP link chip configures the AGP ports/busses to accommodate the appropriate AGP link chip by setting clock frequencies and voltage levels. In a preferred embodiment, the AGP link chip intercepts signals from the host processor and system, and responds by "lieing" to the host system by claiming to be a high-performance AGP graphics chip supported by a desktop. Then, the AGP link chip intercepts other configuration transactions as needed. The algorithm 300 proceeds to an intercept act 320. In the intercept act 320 the algorithm intercepts selected AGP signals. Then, in an attach header act 330, a packet header is attached to each intercepted AGP signal, as needed, to fool the computer system. After the attach header act 330, the algorithm 300 then serializes a packet containing an AGP signal (serialization of the AGP packets can avoid or solve electrical compatibility problems).
Sometimes methods of the invention may be practiced by placing the invention on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable mediums include passive data storage, such as a random access memory (RAM) as well as semi-permanent data storage such as a compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM). In addition, the invention may be embodied in the RAM of a computer and effectively transform a standard computer into a new specific computing machine.
Though the invention has been described with respect to a specific preferred embodiment, many variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the present application. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications.

(Decanter's Bordeaux '05, '09, '10 tasting) :: Dense, tight, incredibly packed, but wonderfully complex across the spectrum of cassis, berries, earth and mineral tones. Nowhere near ready, but a beautifully complete wine in the waiting.

Really not sure why there are so many rave reviews about this vintage. Yes it is deep purple and does contain a lot of interesting and mesmerizing fruit and spice on the nose which will be first class in about 20 years but tasters should look beyond what is a first growth nose and taste the underlying fruit. What I found was that there was a touch of phenolic unripeness and beyond the immediate fruit there is a touch of greenness and hollowness in the mid-palate. The finish is long but again I worry that there is something missing for the long haul. It certainly is no where close to perfection and I caution readers not to believe the hype that this is a 96-100 point wine.
The 2009 Montrose is an extraordinary wine. A wonderful bouquet of ripe black fruit, scorched earth, cigar ash and soil tones is followed by a wonderfully layered, symmetrical palate impression of incredible depth and richness. While a large-scaled wine, it always seems to be beautifully balanced. What's more, its aromatics and flavors are absolutely textbook ripe vintage Montrose.
Mini vertical of 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2012. Quite open and expressive on the nose, sweeter fruit than both 2010 and 2005. Really opulent and rich. On the palate not too sweet, lots of depth, powerful but ripe tannins, great freshness - really big and massive but impeccably well balanced at the same time. Wonderful finish. Amazing. 96-97+
31 Vintages of Château Montrose: 1928-2010; 5/2/2015-5/3/2015: Big extract, freshness and complexity. An open and approachable wine that is utterly gorgeous and balanced. Everlasting. WOTN for me. Extraordinary, will be a legend.
