hawking was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 21, and given just two years to live.
Not for winning a golf tournament, but for hawking a product.
The injuries, she says, only happened when hawking and Mason were alone.
c.1300, hauk, earlier havek (c.1200), from Old English hafoc (W. Saxon), heafuc (Mercian), heafoc, from Proto-Germanic *habukaz (cf. Old Norse haukr, Old Saxon habuc, Middle Dutch havik, Old High German habuh, German Habicht "hawk"), from a root meaning "to seize," from PIE *kap- "to grasp" (cf. Russian kobec "a kind of falcon;" see capable). Transferred sense of "militarist" attested from 1962.
"to sell in the open, peddle," late 15c., back-formation from hawker "itinerant vendor" (c.1400), from Middle Low German höken "to peddle, carry on the back, squat," from Proto-Germanic *huk-. Related: Hawked; hawking. Despite the etymological connection with stooping under a burden on one's back, a hawker is technically distinguished from a peddler by use of a horse and cart or a van.
"to hunt with a hawk," mid-14c., from hawk (n.).
"to clear one's throat," 1580s, imitative.
British physicist noted for his study of black holes and the origin of the universe, especially the big bang theory. His work has provided much of the mathematical basis for scientific explanations of the physical properties of black holes.
Our Living Language : The world-renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking needs little introduction to those familiar with the bespectacled man who uses a wheelchair and lectures around the world with the aid of a computerized speech synthesizer. The condition that has left him all but totally paralyzed, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is usually fatal within a few years; but Hawking has beaten the odds by living with the disease for all his adult life, since its onset when he was a 20-year-old college student. Hawking's story is a testament to a determined person's ability to overcome unexpected adversity—his career in fact did not take off until after the disease had been diagnosed. Hawking partly credits the disease for giving him a sense of purpose and the ability to enjoy life. His academic position at Oxford is a chaired professorship in mathematics that was also held by Isaac Newton, in 1669. He originally set out to study mathematics, but it is for his discoveries in physics that he is best known. With his collaborator Roger Penrose, he theorized that Einstein's Theory of General Relativity predicts that space and time have a definite origin and conclusion, providing mathematical support for the Big Bang theory. This led to further attempts to unify General Relativity with quantum theory, one consequence of which is the intriguing view that black holes are not entirely "black," as originally thought, but emit radiation and should eventually evaporate and disappear.
To drive slowly and watchfully in the streets, walk about vigilantly in bars and parties, etc, looking for a sex partner; cruise: If you're out searching for a date, you're ''cruising,'' ''hawking,'' or ''macking''
[1990s+ Teenagers; perhaps related to hawk2 , ''a pimp for homosexuals'']
To clear one's throat; cough up and spit: let out of their cells to wash, hawk, stretch (1583+)
A imitation Indian haircut affected by punk rockers; mohawk: egg or soap it into the hawk (1980s+)
noun phrase
The cold winter wind: Well, looks like the hawk is getting ready to hit the scene and send temperatures down
[1900+ Black; origin unknown; perhaps fr the strong biting quality of such a wind]
(Heb. netz, a word expressive of strong and rapid flight, and hence appropriate to the hawk). It is an unclean bird (Lev. 11:16; Deut. 14:15). It is common in Syria and surrounding countries. The Hebrew word includes various species of Falconidae, with special reference perhaps to the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), the hobby (Hypotriorchis subbuteo), and the lesser kestrel (Tin, Cenchris). The kestrel remains all the year in Palestine, but some ten or twelve other species are all migrants from the south. Of those summer visitors to Palestine special mention may be made of the Falco sacer and the Falco lanarius. (See NIGHT-HAWK ØT0002729.)

Findings for PPC in Pasadena
Pasadena Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Keywords in Pacific States
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Pasadena was the 9th most expensive city in Pacific States in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Pasadena also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in California, ranking 8th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in Pacific States for keywords, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 122% Higher in Pasadena than Glendale
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Pasadena are 122% higher than in Glendale. The average price of a click in Pasadena is $18.45.
This price differential is somewhat surprising however, as Glendale has a larger population than Pasadena.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city with a similar population, Orange, and found the average price of a click in Pasadena was 126% higher than in Orange.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

For more information about specific topics in Milpitas history, please click on a link located on the right sidebar.
What? More Than One Milpitas?
Although we tend to think that there could only be one community bearing this distinctive name, it turns out that there were at least two other sites called Milpitas.
One was a Rancho Milpitas formed when the lands of the Mission San Antonio de Padua, (in Monterey County, near today's King City) were secularized and divided into Mexican land grants. When William Randolph Hearst acquired the rancho in 1925, he commissioned architect Julia Morgan (who also designed Hearst Castle, some 30 miles from there) to build the Hacienda Milpitas for his employees and guests. It was completed in 1930 and has also been known as Hacienda Guest Lodge and Milpitas Ranchhouse, under which name the property was placed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
Although the land was acquired by the U.S. War Department in 1940 to create a troop training facility, and the Hacienda was used as housing by the military during WWII and after, today, the US Army Reserve operates the base, and a civilian concessionaire is allowed to run the Milpitas Hacienda as a hotel open both to the public and to the military.
The other was, according to Spanish and Indian Place Names of California, by Nellie Van de Grift Sanchez, the the crop and garden area of Mission San Antonio de Pala, in San Diego County. The Mission was founded in 1861 as an "asistencia" to its parent, Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, about 25 miles east of San Luis Rey, and is now located inside the Pala Indian Reservation.

Milpitas Town Seal
The Milpitas Town Seal was the idea of member Betty McDermott's husband John, who came up with the idea for a seal of the Minuteman from one of his son's history books. He designed the seal and took it to Arnie's Signs and had 4,000 decals made.
Joe Brown, a local painter, painted the original for free. It is believed that Mr. Brown may have been hired to repaint the statues in the old St. John's Church. Mr. Brown lived on the Henry Strickroth/Murphy Ranch.

Selected life-history traits are frequently associated with persistent nonindigenous species and may be useful in predicting or assessing the likelihood of establishment of a given species. However, many exceptions occur for any given trait, and most can be evaluated only subjectively or qualitatively. Quantitative comparisons between the traits of species that have become established and the traits of species that have failed to establish are rare, especially for arthropods and pathogens. Nevertheless, there are traits that appear to enhance establishment, and these require much further study.
The ability to change from outcrossing to selfing in response to local environmental conditions could optimize the opportunity for establishment. Species with high phenotypic plasticity among many ecologically important traits (for example, the traits collectively considered in connection with phenology) also have an advantage in a new environment. Possession of a resistant dormant phase, particularly a resistant seed bank, appears important, as do alternative forms of asexual and sexual reproduction, rapid growth, and high fecundity.
Nonindigenous plant pathogens with genetic variability in traits associated with reproduction have a higher probability of establishment. Traits of plant pathogens that appear to enhance establishment include a short infection cycle, high productivity of infectious units, and a long infectious period.
High intrinsic rate of increase, uniparental reproduction, and a dormant or resilient life stage that permits surviving temporally unfavorable conditions characterize many insect invaders. Other life-history strategies, such as long-lived adult stages, are common among established nonindigenous insects.

Although this is a promising approach to structure youth sport, empirical evidence supporting competitive engineering has focused on skill development and performance, with little known about how athletes' perceive these modified competitive environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore young female athletes' experiences in their competitively engineered soccer environment. Seventeen recreational and competitive soccer players, aged 8-11, participated in semi-structured interviews that featured several visual qualitative methods (i.e., athlete-directed photography, an athlete drawing exercise, a pile-sort exercise and a photo-elicitation interview) to facilitate insight on their sport environments. Results from the athlete interviews revealed that the athlete's competitively engineered soccer experience was perceived as being a unique environment that emphasized personal development, positive relationships with coaches, peers and parents, and the underlying enjoyment of sport. Results were summarized into five themes that fell under the overarching unique environment concept, including: (a) strong friendships, (b) supportive coaching, (c) evolving challenges, (d) emphasizing fun, and (e) family influence. One final underlying concept was revealed by contrasting soccer with other sport settings, highlighting that soccer was just one, of many, unique and potentially positive sport environments for the athletes. While athletes positively viewed the competitive engineering strategies and underlying philosophies they were exposed to in soccer, it is important to note that the athletes' also reflected positively on the range of experiences, emotions and outcomes they gained from participating in diverse sport environments. These findings add to the youth sport literature, extending our knowledge of how modifications to the youth sport structure influence the athletes' experiences, providing practical implications to further promote positive sport outcomes and experiences for young athletes.

Peers have been known to exhibit leadership techniques associated with increased motivation for sport and they play an important role in influencing behaviours of others with a physical disability (e.g., disseminating knowledge of resources). Transformational leadership (TFL) is associated with positive sport outcomes and has been associated with peers in the sport context. Transformational leaders use individualized consideration, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and idealized influence to enable their follower to perform beyond their own expectations. However, it is unknown how peer athlete mentors (mentors) use TFL to encourage and maintain sport participation among their mentees with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to understand the leadership behaviours, particularly the TFL behaviours of peer athlete mentors in parasport. Participants were 11 mentors and 10 mentees who have been involved in parasport. Data were collected through semi-structured telephone interviews. The interviews were grounded in TFL. Inductive content analysis revealed behaviours from the perspectives of mentors and mentees and the behaviours were deductively cross-referenced with TFL behaviours. Mentors recalled their own mentorship behaviours and behaviours of the mentors that encouraged them. Mentees recalled behaviours of their mentors and mentor behaviours they have begun to engage in. Behaviours were consistent with TFL and were generally perceived as the same among mentors and mentees. Individualized consideration behaviours were creating an enriching environment, appropriate peer matching, understanding readiness to participate, and understanding different personalities. Inspirational motivation behaviours were conveying optimism about the benefits of sport, telling success stories, and being a role model for sport excellence. Intellectual stimulation involved disseminating resources encouraging mentees to try, encouraging reducing sedentary time, and letting the mentee solve problems. Idealized influence included showing commitment, having a positive attitude, and fulfilling duties on the team. Negative behaviours speaking negatively about another sport and having unrealistic expectations. The results of this study provide an in depth description of the TFL used by peer mentors in parasport and can be used to inform peer athlete mentorship training programs in disability sport. Description: Thesis (Master, Kinesiology & Health Studies) -- Queen's University, 2015-06-02 23:08:15.822 2015-06-03T04:00:00Z CAPTURING THE YOUTH PERSPECTIVE: USING PHOTOGRAPHS TO EXPLORE MEMBER EXPERIENCES AT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF CANADA http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13107 Title: CAPTURING THE YOUTH PERSPECTIVE: USING PHOTOGRAPHS TO EXPLORE MEMBER EXPERIENCES AT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF CANADA Authors: Cembal, Kori Abstract: Introduction: How youth cope with the many changes associated with adolescence, such as physical and sexual maturation, psychological development, changes in social situations, and often, new home life dynamics, determines whether or not they will make a healthy transition into adulthood (Breinbauer, 2005; Fraser-Thomas et al., 2005; Lerner, 2002; Roth & Brooks-Gunn, 2003; Roth et al., 1998). Programs promoting Positive Youth Development (PYD) have been shown to equip youth with competencies to successfully navigate this transition but programs are not equally available to youth of all socioeconomic strata. Not-for-profit programs such as The Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada strive to enhance accessibility to PYD experiences by offering low-cost or no-cost programs that are guided by PYD principles (Kerr, 2011; Roth & Brooks-Gunn, 2003). Though programs like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada aim to provide a setting and opportunities for PYD, evidence linking program content to PYD from a youth perspective is scant (Lerner, 2005). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore youth perspectives of their Boys and Girls Club involvement through the lens of PYD outcomes and to examine how these perspectives fit with aspects of PYD endorsed by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. Methods: Boys and Girls Club youth members (n=7) were trained in Photovoice methodology to explore their experiences in Boys and Girls Club programming through photographs. Youth took photographs and shared the stories behind their photographs via interviews. Interviews were analyzed deductively, using Lerner and colleagues 5 C's of PYD framework, and inductively for emerging themes using NVivo 10. Results: Youth participants indicated that their experiences at the Boys and Girls club were influenced by diverse factors; they also talked about how their participation in programs helped them develop interpersonal connections and individual growth. Overarching themes were: 1) PYD outcomes, and 2) ecological factors. Discussion: Youth participants displayed growth on an individual level through assets, experiences and opportunities made available to them through the Boys and Girls Club. This study contributes to the growing body of literature highlighting the importance of accessible PYD programming for adolescents.

Tree planting in northern Ontario is a popular summer occupation for University students from southern Ontario. The contemporary demographic of tree planters is now dominantly university students which is unusual because tree planters were originally comprised of prisoners and marginalized individuals. After reviewing the history and development of the labour force, the research offers analysis of popularized perceptions of the occupation and of lived experience of the occupation. Popularized perceptions of tree planting are largely influenced by notions of Rugged Individualism. Rugged individualism emphasizes individual strength and resilience and is largely influenced by notions of Canadian nationalism and neoliberalism. These ideologies largely figure into not only perceptions of tree planting but also within the work environment itself. Tree planting offers an opportunity for students to take on a physical and mental challenge, make substantial summer earnings for the school year, and identify with a 'tree planter' image. Through autoethnography, these opportunities are discussed in relation to perceptions of the occupation. The research illuminates the positive aspects of tree planting such as sense of community as well as the negative impacts of neoliberalism within the work culture.

Absa's Tanzanian Unit Says MD Mafuru Resumes Work After Probe
Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The managing director of Absa Group Ltd.'s Tanzanian unit returned to work two months after he was asked to step aside during a probe into "irregular governance practices, fraud and corruption," the bank said.
Lawrence Mafuru, managing director of Absa-controlled National Bank of Commerce Ltd, was sent on leave on July 20 after a whistle-blower complained.
"The board has resolved appropriately all the matters arising out of the investigation, and that Mafuru will be returning to work immediately" National Bank said in a statement handed to reporters today in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's commercial capital. Mafuru said the process was "necessary," according to the statement.
Absa, the South African bank that's controlled by Barclays Plc, owns 55 percent of National Bank of Commerce. Absa has been scrutinized by investors and analysts since saying on June 26 that profit may fall as much as 10 percent after it failed to set aside enough money for bad debts.

And the "Intel fanboys" aren't too concerned about it because they're happy with their current platform. Intel had already scheduled a price cut around the middle of June for their processor line, but you're not likely to see anything change until then. Why would it? They still outperform the AMDs by a significant margin. AMD could drop the price of the X2 6000+ under 100$ right now, and many would still go Intel because they're faster.
I don't see any flame war, the only thing I see is price war and that sure benefits any computer user or fanboy.
About "fanboys", I believe we all are cheering for one company or other so by using the word I don't mean to insult anybody.
I must admit that I'm AMD fanboy but not a blind one, the bucks stops my fanboyism very fast.
My next complete upgrade is this fall and sure I'm going to get the best deal in my price range, that is for CPU up to $500. I do worry a lot that Intel might be the winner but that wont stop me from cheering for AMD.
I believe your statement that Intel outperform the AMD by
"significant margin"
is little blind fanboyism.
This post is mainly about the AMD X2 5600+ & X2 6000+ and I did link in my original post to AnandTech review. The X2 6000+ compared wery good to Intel's Core 2 Duo E6600 and was not far behind E6700
And here are today's best prices for the above CPU's:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ at
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 at
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 at
Just to stop any further arguments:
I did also mention in the origional post that the E6600 would most likely overclock better but I don't think AMD needs to much worry about it, in my wild estimate 99.9% PC user do not overclock. For most people the bottom line is more important.
Talking about
"significant margin"
, we should not forget what the picture was not so far ago. more accuretely up to July 14th 2006
Dual-core desktop CPU bout: AMD vs. Intel
Intel should be embarrassed with its showing in round 2. At every turn, AMD beat it to the punch. Even the Athlon 64 X2 3800+, the lowest end of AMD's dual-core CPUs, is better suited to 3D gaming than Intel's highest-end Extreme Edition 840 CPU, which lost by a full 10 percent.
Now that's what I call significant margin, lets hope the great times are back soon again.
One more PS
Let as also not forget that none of the CPU was overclocked in the above test, if it was Intel would have been even much furhter behind.
At that time the Intel Dual-Core was better suited as heating device than CPU.

- Day trip to the Sicilian towns of Palermo and Cefalù from Taormina
- Enjoy a Palermo walking tour and learn about the city's Arab-Norman architecture
- Stroll through Piazza Bellini to see the La Martorana church and Palermo Cathedral
- Visit the Il Capo market and browse the colorful collection of food
- Explore the town of Cefalù with a guide and discover the grandeur of Cefalù Cathedral
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
The Il Capo market is one of my favorite places in Palermo; it's a hive of activity, where traders shout to attract customers. Look out for stalls selling refreshing granita (crushed ice with Sicilian lemon) or cannoli, a local delicacy of sweet ricotta encased in a crisp pastry roll!
What You Can Expect
Stretch your legs on a walking tour of the city center – an area teeming with impressive art and ruins. Hear the history of the Arab-Norman monuments scattered through town, and how Palermo was Sicily's capital under both sets of rulers. When the Normans seized power from the Arabs in the 11th century, they were so fascinated by their predecessor's architectural legacy that they continued to include elements of Arabic style in their building designs.
Visit Piazza Bellini to see the La Martorana church – famed for its spectacular mosaics – and then stop for photos outside Palermo Cathedral with its elegant Arabic arches and blue-gray dome. Amble through the Baroque square of Quattro Canti (Piazza Vigliena), and head into Piazza Pretoria to admire its 16th-century fountains and palazzi.
The city is popular for its colorful markets. Visit Il Capo to saunter around the labyrinth of alleyways, browsing heaving stalls of fresh food and Arabic handicrafts. Spend time at leisure after your market visit, and relax at a cafe of your choice for lunch (own expense). If you want to visit the nearby town of Monreale, your guide can arrange transport for you at an additional cost.
Both groups meet back at a prearranged point for the journey to Cefalù, roughly an hour away. One of the sweetest Sicilian seaside towns, Cefalù boasts a historical town center comprising a maze of narrow alleyways strung with washing hung out to dry. Its standout attraction is Cefalù Cathedral, famous for its Mosaic of Christ Pantocractor – a stunning Byzantine mosaic that's considered as one of the most important pieces of religious artwork in Sicily. Head inside to marvel at the feature with your guide.
After exploring the town with your guide and at leisure, return to your coach and travel back to Taormina. Your tour then finishes back at the start point.

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative day.I would encourage any visitor to Sicily to take this trip.
The road traffic accident delayed us but we did not feel that we missed anything at all.
June 2015
Palermo should improve as the tourist attraction. Cefalu is charming. The tour itself is good. But you better find your own place for lunch.

Nashville, TN I wished there were 0 stars to give this company. Their service is horrible and it is very difficult to have them be accountable for their horrible service. If you have signed a contract or are considering signing a contract, reconsider. They are the only vendor that I deal with who has asked me to sign a contract BTW.

YIELD: Serves 2
In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it brown the pork chops, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, and transfer them to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and in it cook the shallot, the cumin, the ground coriander, the zest, and the gingerroot over moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened. Add the wine, the broth, and the apricots, bring the liquid to a simmer, and in it braise the pork chops, covered, over moderately low heat for 20 minutes, or until they are tender. Transfer the chops to a serving plate with a slotted spatula and keep them warm. In a small bowl stir together well the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, softened, and the flour until the mixture is well combined, add the beurre manié to the braising liquid, and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring. Simmer the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is thickened, stir in the fresh coriander and salt and pepper to taste, and pour the sauce over the pork chops.

The track due-South out of Mesquite leaves town crossing the river where there is no crossing. You can cross the river a mile East on Scenic Blvd. Earlier that same track leaves the freeway frontage road on a sketchy road along the side of a golf course. 1.3mi East of the golf course is the main road (Scenic Blvd) that crosses the river, which would be a much better way to go.
The track South of Bar-10 goes off the edge of the Grand Canyon cliff on a hiking trail. No road or rideable section that last mile or so!
Your track due-South out of St George is blocked by a new freeway that goes to the new airport there. Where your track first hits dirt, just stay on the pavement 2 miles more, crossing the freeway at an underpass, then you'll hook back into your track there.
Your track going East out of St George goes straight through someone's house and their back yard fence where there is no road, 3 miles before reaching Sand Hollow Reservoir.
Leaving Sand Hollow Reservoir South, your track goes where there appears to be no road or trail, bushwacking through the bush, about 3 miles after leaving the Sand Hollow area.
A section of your Lime Kiln-Mt Trumbull track goes through a cattle fence where there appears to be no way through. It looks like there was a road there at one time, but not anymore. The blocked part is just West of a dirt road called County Hwy 257 exactly 3 miles South of Mt Trumbull school.
The exact point where your -Toroweap track exits Hwy 389 in Colorado City is no exit, and probably goes through a fence. Exit 170 yards North of that point, and hook right into your track.
Your Pearce Canyon track goes through a nasty rocky wash where there is no existing road, going South from this point ( 36° 16.617'N 113° 54.420'W ). It won't be any fun unless you enjoy torture. Also, there is a BLM fence right at those coordinates. People have ripped the fence open there, but it could be back up when you arrive. There's a much easier way around, on the road 2 miles West. When you arrive at the abandoned cabin, go another 50 yards down the road and turn LEFT up a beautiful smooth wash. That will hook you back up with your track.
Does your topo map say that this point ( 37° 2.931'N 113° 45.196'W ) would be fun to see, just 1/4 mile East of your Lime Kiln-Mt Trumbull track on a powerline access road?
Hope you carry a LOT of gas, because most of those dead-ends are a LONG ways from any gas station. Also, unless your're amazingly fast, you won't get in and out of some of those points in one day. Make reservations at Bar-10 and also camp at Toroweap and one of those points West of Bar-10 and you might get away with it. Good luck!

Why not just call it a 555Ti or something, if its gonna perform somewhere between the 550TI and the 560TI then surely it makes more sense.
Sits back and waits for everyone to start jumping up and down about another nvidia naming conundrum.

Ti was an old nomenclature that signified a faster card, back in the era of the 4-series cards. So the 560 Ti is faster than a 560, but it'll lead to confusion.

Struggling to see the point of this confusing card unless it's a lot cheaper than the Ti.

GeForce 3 was replaced with GeForce 3 Ti 200 and Ti 500. Just to add to the confusion, the Ti 200 wasn't as fast as the 'vanilla' GeForce 3.
But seriously... when has common sense come into GPU naming schemes? (Or CPU naming schemes either, for that matter...?)

@billysielu agreed, it already confused me. when i saw this article title i was thinking "...they already released the gtx 560".
also, i don't agree with 1920x1080 as being the way games are "meant to be played", especially considering nvidia tends to put less memory on their cards than amd/ati. 1920x1080 is a nice resolution but i don't understand where people are acting like it's mandatory for today's standards. to me, the lowest acceptable resolution is 1280x960. i currently use 1680x1050 and i'm very satisfied with this resolution.

Well, I suppose it's better than calling it the 'GTX 560 Ti SE'.
Nvidia still need to take the guy who names their cards outside and beat him though.

Pricing this card will be a difficult one what with GTX560 TI's being available for under £170 (OCUK today only as an example) and HD6870's available for just over £150 (Ebuyer).
I assume it will be priced to match a HD6870 but tbh you would be better off just spending a bit more and getting the GTX560TI when it's on offer or buying the equal performing and more efficient HD6870.

The first three GF2 were the MX, the GTS and the Ultra. They later released a Ti and a Pro, I believe.
nVidia and ATi have been terrible at naming their products for over a decade. There's nothing new
The only series that were named correctly were the GF3 (Ti200 and Ti500) and the 9x00 (from ATi).
The first GeForce was the GeForce 256 and noobs couldn't know which one was better because they had no idea what DDR and SDR meant. The only way they could know was with the price.
The second GeForce was even more confusing because it existed in 5 different versions (as stated above) including two that came out later and were somewhere in the middle, performance wise
The third GeForce was name correctly but it's only because there was just two different cards
The fourth GeForce was ridiculous. The Ti4200,4400 and 4600 were fine but the MX420 was actually a GeForce 2 MX and the MX440 and MX460 were just superclocked version. Then came the 4800 and 4800SE that were actually just a Ti4400/4600 but with an 8X AGP port
The fifth GeForce was ridiculous as well with the introduction of the "50's" in names as well as LE and Ultra. Oh and the cards sucked
The sixth GeForce was a just as bad with the 6200,6600,6800 as well as the LE, GT, Ultra and TurboCache versions. Oh and newbs had to know if they needed an AGP or a PCI card (but nvidia isn't to blame there, obviously)
ATi is just as bad. The days when a 9500 Pro was faster than a regular 9600 were confusing as hell. Then there was the Radeon 9000 that was just a Radeon 7500 which itself was just a regular Radeon DDR with higher clocks. Oh and the Radeon 9200 that was just a renamed Radeon 8500. Both the 9000 and 9200 had the series 9 name but neither supported DX9 (only 7 and 8 respectively)
Radeon X800 anyone ? Or would you rather have an X800GTO ? X800XT ? X800XL ? I'm pretty sure an X800GTO was actually faster than a regular X850 but I bet nobody knew that except us, hardware geeks.
oh and who doesn't remember the Radeon X1950XTX ? The more Xs you have, the more powerful your card is !
I don't think I need to go on as most of you know the rest quite well. I like being nostalgic and remembering all those cards. I typed all this by memory only though so don't be too harsh if I did a mistake

Maximum quality
In order to reach the highest quality it is necessary to have the most advanced technology available. That is the reason why in 1998 we built our current factory and we provided it with the most advanced technology and production facilities.
The mark "Pesca de Rías" ("Fishing on Bay") and the ISO 9001 certificate of quality, are the guarantee of the outstanding quality
of our products. We make a daily effort to take care and improve all the production details finding the best raw materials. In order to achieve this, we count on the best purchasers and sailors, experts in the best fishing grounds and ports where one can find the most delicious sardines, the tastiest squids or superb razor-shells. That is the reason why our products
have a limited production, because we all know that good things can only be found in small quantities.

What a Waste: Arnold Schwarzenegger In Talks To Star In 'Toxic Avenger' Reboot

Schwarzenegger, the venerable action star and former governor of California, is in talks to star in a remake of "The Toxic Avenger," the 1984 cult favorite that put low-budget studio Troma Team Pictures on the map. Steve Pink, who directed "Hot Tub Time Machine," is on board to helm the project, and he co-wrote the screenplay with Daniel C. Mitchell.
There's been no confirmation yet on who Schwarzenegger will play in the "Toxic Avenger" reboot, which like the original tells the tale of a spindly nerd who is exposed to radioactive toxic waste and is turned into a burly mutant who dedicates himself to fighting crime. While producers on the project insist Schwarzenegger will not be playing the mutant hero, they're keeping quiet about who his character will be. Possibilities include a "The Executioner," a former military intelligence agent who mentors the newly–mutated Toxie; the father of the hapless hero's would-be girlfriend, whose chemical plant is responsible for the pollution that turns Toxie into a hero; or the villainous security chief at the plant.
Michael Benaroya, one of the producers on the "Toxic Avenger" reboot who is financing the project through his company International Film Trust, said in a statement, "Moviegoers around the world were thrilled when Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to acting so effortlessly filling the gap that he left behind. He is the ultimate action hero with a natural comedic versatility and will be pitch perfect in 'The Toxic Avenger.'"
Schwarzenegger's enthusiasm for "The Toxic Avenger" comes as the actor tries to re-brand himself after stepping out of the political arena. Schwarzenegger was part of the ensemble cast for Sylvester Stallone's 2012 action epic "The Expendables 2" (he previously made a cameo appearance in the first movie), but his first starring role in nearly a decade, "The Last Stand," was a major disappointment at the box office, taking in only $37 million worldwide on a $30 million budget following its opening in January. Schwarzenegger may be hoping that a movie with a comic twist would be a good career move; "The Toxic Avenger" is also a project with pre-sold appeal, given the enduring popularity of the original, which eventually spun off three sequels, an animated cartoon series for television, a comic book, and even a stage musical.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. An interesting concept. Apple Comics printed this book with three , eight page stories of the king of the undead. Each story centers and continues from issue to issue. First story is based on Dracula himself. The second he's floating in ghostform through various times in history . The final story is based in 2199 and Dracula ressurected takes on science. Each story is written by Rickey Shanklin. This is for serious Dracula and vampire enthusuests not to be confused with those emo glowing vampires in some movie series.
