What It Is, Why It Matters, and the Consequences of Redefining It Read More.
The family, centered on marriage, is the basic unit of society. Healthy marriages and families are the foundation of thriving communities. When marriages break down, communities suffer and the role of government tends to expand. Sound public policy places marriage and the family at the center, respecting and guarding the role of this permanent institution.

|Whole plain yogurt
|1 Quart
|Egg white
|1 Large, beaten
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Teaspoon
|Boneless lamb stew meat
|1 Pound, cut into 2-inch cubes
|1 Quart
|2 Teaspoon
|White onions/Red/white pearl onions, peeled and left whole
|1⁄2 Pound, peeled and halved or quartered (Small Variety)
|Clarified butter/Unsalted butter
|2 Tablespoon
|2 Clove (10 gm), finely chopped
|Dried mint
|2 Teaspoon
1. In a saucepan, beat the yogurt with a fork until smooth, then beat in the egg white, cornstarch and salt. Put the saucepan over high heat and start stirring in one direction with a wooden spoon. As soon as it starts to bubble in about 6 minutes reduce the heat to medium and boil gently until it is thick, about 5 minutes. Set aside until needed.
2. Put the lamb in a casserole and cover with the water. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt and add 2 of the white onions or a handful of the pearl onions. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the lamb is very tender, about 3 hours.
3. Place the stabilized yogurt in a casserole or stewpot large enough to hold the lamb and onions. Boil the remaining onions separately in a large saucepan with water to cover until soft, about 20 minutes. Remove and stir into the yogurt.
4. Remove the lamb from the pot with a slotted ladle and transfer, with the onions, to the yogurt. Place over medium heat and keep warm, just below a boil, stirring a few times.
5. In a small skillet, melt the clarified butter over medium heat, then add the garlic, mint, and remaining teaspoon salt, and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add to the yogurt and cook until heated through, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

That's why I think the problem has been as much disease as deficiency. Or in fact more disease than deficiency. If it were more deficiency, all the plants in the same compost should suffer the same problem.
Out of interest, could you post that recipe you used for the home-made mix?
ES is usually applied as a foliar spray. The leaves absorb the ES, a faster-acting process than going via the roots, whereby the roots first have to absorb the product before distributing it. Mix up 20g ES/litre of water and spray once a day for a week or 10 days and see how things look.

Quickest way to get rid of it is either by hand or with a blast from the hose.
It's been a fascinating couple of days, Gard. A good garden mystery is always fun - except when you're on the receiving end!
No, spraying for the deficiency won't hurt. I think it's about 20g ES per litre of water. Spray in the mornings to let the foliage dry out during the day.
Spraying against fungal problems has become a tad controversial these days. Most of the common fungicides are chemicals and many are reluctant to use them and with good reason. They poison foraging insects amongst other things.
The most common organic treatment is a copper sulphate spray. Very popular here in Italy. You see tom plants everywhere with bright blue leaves. But, while it's organic, it's also a metal, it can eventually build up in the soil, and doesn't do foraging insects much good either. I don't use it because I don't like metal building up in the soil.
The very best treatment I ever came across - and used when I was back in Australia - was a chlorothalonil-based spray. It comes under various brand names - Daconil, Bravo, etc. It's synthetic, a chemical, but harmless to foraging insects. It will kill fish if you pour it into a fish pond. So I didn't pour it into any fish ponds. It's very widely used in the US - the home of heirloom tomato growing - and even by many organic growers. They acknowledge that it's not organic, but (a) it doesn't harm the garden wildlife; and (b) it's stunningly effective.
Problem is, it's hard to come by outside the States for domestic use. In fact, in Australia, it was only available in bulk for farm use. So a group of us tomato growers all chipped in, bought a container, and divided it up. It worked brilliantly.
A week or so ago someone posted in this forum about spraying with milk against fungal problems. Some people do, and swear by it, but there's no scientific evidence that it works. At best, it's thought that the milk might amend the pH of the leaf surface to a figure less sympathetic to the spores.
The principle of spraying against fungal problems isn't that you kill the spores. You can't. You spray preventively - before the spores arrive - and coat the leaves (on both sides) efectively stopping the spores getting a grip. Normally you would start spraying just after planting out and about once a week thereafter. If it rains, obviously, you have to respray. It's not always failsafe - though I found the chlorothalonil was - but it's the best you can do in terms of taking positive action.
I don't spray here in Italy but only because I can't get chlorothalonil here. I just do all the basic housework and hope for the best. I get Early Blight and Septoria Leaf Spot - the two most common fungal problems in the home garden, and they're pretty inevitable - but nipping off affected leaves as soon as the symptoms appear keeps things under control.
Gard, a pH of 6 is ideal for toms. They prefer it slightly acid. A homemade mix might well explain some nutrient deficiencies, but I haven't seen those sorts of lesions before as a result of, especially, magnesium deficiency.
In terms of limiting the chances of fungal problems - if you don't want to spray, you just have to adopt all the housekeeping practices mentioned above. And, in a greenhouse, most of all, great ventilation.
You will never escape fungal spores. They're airborne, they're everywhere, and effectively invisible. All you can do is create an environment that gives them the least sympathetic conditions.

Well, something's fertilising them!
Unless, of course, you have a case of - ahem - Virgin Birth.
What else do you have growing nearby?
As Geoff says, avoid the temptation to feed them. In fact, don't feed them at all and keep watering to an absolute minimum. Regardless of the weather, they are more likely to produce flowers - the first step to reproducing themselves - if they think they're struggling for survival.
Good one, Bob. I've never had Leaf Mould problems but then I've never grown in a greenhouse. You hardly ever see it on outdoor crops.
Gard, LM is about the most common fungal problem for greenhouse toms. As Bob says, it's down to air circulation, the enclosed environs of the greenhouse effectively turning it into an incubator. You have to aim for as much ventilation as you can to keep introducing fresh air from outside. A friend of mine used an electric fan on low speed to help the process.
Rain can be one of the enemies of outdoor tom crops because of the wet foliage. Unless you spray preventively against fungal diseases+, all you can do is (a) keep a sufficient distance between plants - at least 3 feet - to help air circulation; (b) avoid letting clumps of foliage develop both on individual plants and between adjacent plants - hindering air circulation - by judiciously thinning foliage; (c) plant in a sun trap, a position that will let the sun dry the foliage as soon as possible; and (d) observe basic housekeeping practices like watering in the mornings, avoiding wetting the foliage, and maintaining a safety gap between the lowest branches and the soil.
+Even if you spray preventively you still need to observe the same fundamentals.
Unfortunately, for some reason, tomato growing seems to have been turned into a complicated process with a lot of misinformation circulating. For example, I read on a dedicated tomato website that a plant that wilts is ruined. Which is rubbish. Outdoor toms will wilt in the heat of the day. The key is to check the plant's condition after the sun goes down. If it has perked up again, no problems. If it's still drooping, it's an indicator that it's time to water. But the plant isn't ruined. This sort of misinformation is predicated on the notion that toms are delicate, sensitive plants. And they're not.
Tomato growing is a relative simple process. Observe basic cultural practices, don't pamper them, keep them alive, and let them get on with reproducing themselves.
Spot on, Bob - and I use the term advisedly in light of Gard's problems - humidity is an invitation to fungal problems. As is any sort of moisture on the leaves, especially overnight. It's always best to water in the mornings.
I helped a friend just outside Cortona set up her vegie garden. She installed an overhead sprinkler system. I told her she was in for trouble. Sure enough, her tom plants - and quite a few other things - are plagued by fungal problems.
Also, fungal spores can and will drop onto the soil under a plant and can be splashed back up again when watering. I maintain a gap of about a foot to 18" between the lowest foliage and the soil to help guard against same.

Want to Trade my Sony Nex 7 kit for Fuji X-Pro.
Started Sep 19, 2012 | Trades thread
Regular Member • Posts: 237
Sorry, thought I'd replied to your personal email.
My reply was that I would look at values of respective kit at current prices and respond if I was interested. As the X-Pro 1 is quite a way more expensive than the NEX-7 at the moment, I think I'd best hold fire just now, and think about this.
Apologies for my reply having got lost in the ether.

Comics (for iPad)
Publishers The comic book industry is far more than just Marvel and DC. IDW, Image, Dynamite, and tons of other comics publisher have their own sections within the app. Dark Horse Comic is one of the few notable publisher that's not part of Comics.
4 / 5
Bottom Line
Comixology, in an attempt to wrest money from Apple and Google's pockets, now requires its fans to buy their favorite digital titles using a web browser. Despite the mildly annoying change, Comics for iPad is still the best all-around reader/marketplace combination for iOS users who read books from multiple publishers.

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.

EGM believes Little Town of Bethlehem is a perfect fit for Festival AMAL. "We identify with their mission to boost dialogue between cultures through the worldwide language of cinema," explains Bill Oeschsler, president of EGM. "We are convinced that telling gripping stories is one of the most powerful ways to shine a light on the critical issues of our time. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is one of those issues. Little Town of Bethlehem tells the story of the long-awaited nonviolence movement in a land dominated by fear, hatred, and division."
Screenings for Little Town of Bethlehem will be in the Santiago de Compostela's "Teatro Principal" at 20H00, from October 24th and 28th.
Little Town of Bethlehem was produced by Mart Green and directed by Jim Hanon. This full-length documentary shares the gripping story of three men—a Palestinian Muslim, a Palestinian Christian, and an Israeli Jew—each born into violence but willing to risk everything to bring an end to violence in their lifetime. At great personal cost, they join together in a heroic and dangerous cause. In the city of Bethlehem, where God became man, these men stand side by side with those whose only desire is to be treated as equals, as fellow human beings. Their story brings the possibility of real hope to this embattled region and provides a model for resolution of hostilities throughout the world. Little Town of Bethlehem was filmed on location in the West Bank, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem with the intention of bringing awareness to a growing nonviolent movement in the Holy Land that rarely, if ever, makes international headlines.
The trailer for Little Town of Bethlehem may be viewed at http://littletownofbethlehem.org/
EthnoGraphic Media (EGM) is an educational non-profit (501c3) organization that explores critical issues of our time. As a community of artists and filmmakers, EGM uses media to tell true stories of hope and compassion in the midst of suffering and strife. EGM believes that gaining a deeper understanding of the human condition inspires positive action. Projects include Little Town of Bethlehem, The Grandfathers, Miss HIV, End of the Spear and Beyond the Gates of Splendor.

Owensboro, Ky., to show off $1 billion facelift
OWENSBORO, Ky. - What: City of Owensboro's 2012 Riverfront Grand Opening
Where: Owensboro, Ky.Schedule of events:Shelton Memorial Rededication Ceremony, 7 p.m. Aug. 23; launching of the Fountains (initial public display of Smothers Park's interactive fountains), 6 p.m. Aug. 24; Static display and open house at airport, 11 a.m. Aug. 25; grand opening of Smothers Park's playground and spray park, 11 a.m. Aug. 25; Owensboro Air Show, with viewing locations at Smothers Park and English Park, 1 p.m. Aug. 25Online: www.owensboro.org
As the dark green Pontiac Grand Prix makes its way west along Second Street, the urban renewal projects come into view nearly as quickly as the man behind the wheel can identify them.
"The new hotel, of course, goes right here," says Ron Payne, the 66-year-old mayor of this Ohio River town of about 57,000 people. "That's a seven-story hotel going up. And right here, on this site, is the new convention center …"
Payne quickly turns his attention to the other side of the street.
"And here is the site of the new Texas Gas office building," he says. "That's going to go here. And over here is where they're going to have condominiums …"
On and on it goes. Name a project, any project — and there are a lot of them happening in and around Owensboro these days — and the high-energy Payne can tell you all about it.
There's the new regional medical center going up on the east side of town that carries a $425-million price tag. Then there's the new 35,000-square-foot National Guard Armory, which opened this spring at a cost of $14 million.
The city's also spending $71 million for a bypass extension, $2 million for an airport terminal expansion and $9 million for a building that's being leased to US Bank Home Mortgage, which has responded by adding 600 new jobs, with another 250 potentially in the pipeline.
The most dramatic changes, however, are the ones taking place downtown, where an ambitious array of current and upcoming projects, including two new hotels and a convention center, have meant massive public and private investments.
The public will be able to get its first look at the improvements later this month when Owensboro's new riverfront is unveiled beginning Aug. 23. That's when the Col. Charles E. Shelton Freedom Memorial will be rededicated at an event where U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell is expected to attend.
The following day, the city will debut interactive water fountains in Smothers Park. That display will kick off Owensboro's popular Friday After 5, a summer-long series of free riverfront concerts. Saturday, meanwhile, will see the grand opening of the Smothers playground and spray park.
It's all part of a brand-new Owensboro, a place where construction scenes are pretty much par for the course these days. Everywhere you look, especially downtown, there are undeniable signs of works in progress: scaffolds adorn the front of previously decaying historic buildings; cranes reach toward the sky; sidewalks are under construction; massive piles of earth are being moved; and the sounds of power tools and machinery last all day long.
'ready to compete'
All told, the total value of the city's facelift exceeds more than $1 billion. And most improbably, in the midst of one of the worst economies since the Great Depression, Payne persuaded city officials and voters — most of them, anyway — to prime the pump with an $80 million tax increase.
It wasn't easily done. Payne, a Republican in his first term as mayor, heard a familiar refrain leading up to the controversial February 2009 vote that made the tax hike official: We're in the middle of an awful recession, Mr. Mayor. This isn't the right time to do this, Mr. Mayor. We need to wait, Mr. Mayor.
Few argued that the downtown riverfront wasn't in need of revitalization. It was simply a question of who would pay for it, how, and whether the time was right.
"There's no good time to do what we we're doing," Payne says. "None. We could have waited five years and it still wouldn't have been a good time. But the thing is, and I said this at the time, this is probably the perfect time to do this because whenever we come out of this recession, we're going to be poised and ready to compete. And that's what happened."
Officials could have traveled a number of routes to raise the new revenues — increasing the occupational tax or the property tax, for example. But they ultimately decided to raise city and county insurance premium tax rates. For city residents, it increased from 4 to 8 percent; for residents of Daviess County, it went from 4.9 to 8.9 percent.
"The insurance tax hit everybody, and it was a very fair tax because if you're in a higher income bracket, you're going to tend to have more insurance expenses," the mayor says. "In a lower income bracket, you've got a car and that's probably pretty much it. So it seemed to be the fairest tax in both the city and the county, so that everybody pays something toward this."
The vote came with political consequences, however. Seven city and county officials gave the tax hike the green light (versus two who were opposed), and only two are still in office. Two lost re-election bids in 2010, while three others decided they wouldn't run again.
Payne insists the revitalization had to take place, even against the backdrop of an era in which many members of his party, particularly at the national level, are frequently touting the virtues of fiscal austerity.
He said that as a candidate back in 2008, he'd heard directly from developers who told him unequivocally that they wouldn't invest a dime downtown unless government signaled its intentions to lead the way.
"No way in the world that any of this would have happened if we as a government hadn't stepped up and primed the pump," says Payne, whose 30-year career in government includes stints as Owensboro's finance director, city manager and as a member of its city commission. "We had to do it. We've now created an excitement like we've never seen in this city … If we're going to be an active player and we're going to create a community here for our kids, we've got to get busy about remaking this city."
For Payne, there's still more to come. In addition to everything that's happening, he hopes to eventually make Owensboro part of Interstate 67, which would connect the city with Indianapolis to the north and Nashville, Tenn., to the south.
Another thing on the mayor's horizon is re-election. He'll run again this November, and he won't have an opponent. That's quite a juxtaposition from his first election in 2008, when he defeated Al Mattingly by 198 votes — out of nearly 22,000 cast.
"I want to see more jobs," he says, explaining why he sought another term. "I want to see that economic development dividend. We've made the investment. We've put the money in the bank, if you will. Now I want to see the return on that investment. And that's what I hope to see within the next four years."
While Payne is acutely aware that government doesn't have the answer to every problem, he has no doubt that it indeed plays a vital, direct role in improving the lives of its citizens. That's why he loves what he does.
"Early in my career with the city (Payne was auditor from 1975 to 1979), I was told that working in government is like eating peanuts: If you like 'em, you can't get enough of 'em. If you don't, you don't want to have anything to do with 'em.
"I've been eating peanuts ever since, and I love it. Don't ask me why. But I love it. The thing that intrigues me the most about it is that if you want to contribute, be a player and have an impact on your community, go to work for your government. You can make a difference."

Pay for Retail Branch Managers in the United States sits in the ballpark of $52K annually. Total incomes of Retail Branch Managers incorporate potential for, in a few cases, more than $15K from bonuses and close to $11K from profit sharing; these performance components cause packages to range between $35K and $83K. Most people who answered the questionnaire are men; 61 percent of Retail Branch Managers are male. Job satisfaction for Retail Branch Managers is high. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and the greater part earn dental coverage. This report is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

The retail branch manager oversees day-to-day operations for a store that is typically affiliated, franchised, or owned by a larger corporate entity with multiple locations. While they may may delegate authority to department managers and floor supervisors, the branch manager must ensure that systems and standards are established and enforced.Read More...
Usually corporations that have many stores have standard procedures and systems with various degrees of flexibility for the branch manager; these systems typically range from every aspect of the store, from purchasing to hiring practices to wage scales. There are also likely to be standards regarding store organization, cleanliness, and employee and manager conduct that the branch manager must enforce.
Much of the branch manager's autonomy typically lies in the day-to-day functions of the store. Scheduling, breaks, inventory rotation, and other more-detailed tasks are decisions the company expects branch managers to make. The company also wants the branch manager to make the store inviting and clean for customers, as well as a good work environment for employees.
Typically, a company values practical experience over formal education for this position. Branch managers in retail typically have substantial experience in a supervisory role in retail, especially in departmental management work. A high school diploma or equivalent is essential, and a college or vocational school education in business and accounting may be preferred. The branch manager works within his or her own store, typically slightly longer than regular business hours during the week and weekends, although hours may vary.
Survey takers who work as Retail Branch Managers report a focused set of job skills. Sales Management and Operations Management are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay by 9 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Skills that pay less than market rate include Customer Service. Experience with Operations Management is often linked with knowledge of Sales Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $47K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $58K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $59K. As Retail Branch Managers reach more than two decades on the job, compensation remains commensurate with experience; the average pay in this group is $67K.

Facing mounting criticism, Toronto Raptor Coach Butch Carter dropped his $5-million defamation lawsuit against Marcus Camby of the New York Knicks.
"For all parties involved, it's best to get it off the front pages," Carter said Tuesday in New York.
Carter had sued Camby on Friday because the former Toronto forward called him a "liar" among other things.
Camby had little reaction, saying, "It didn't really affect me when it was brought out. So all I'm worried about is Game 2."
Meanwhile, Carter will start Muggsy Bogues at point guard instead of Doug Christie for tonight's Game 2 against the Knicks, saying Bogues brings more intensity.
A lawsuit was filed against Golden State forward Jason Caffey accusing him of hitting and kicking Nakita Shoemaker, 24, in a nightclub on March 5 in Mobile, Ala., even though the Warriors, including Caffey, played at home in Oakland later that day against Indiana. Caffey, 26, a Mobile native, was never charged. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Tell us what you thought of 'The Cabin in the Woods'
The film opens today
Follow HitFix: Follow @hitfix
I have not seen Drew Goddard's "The Cabin in the Woods," but as I understand it from the ZOMG! online contingent, there are spoilers to be wary of, so I guess I won't be digging into this thread much until I finally see it, hopefully this weekend (making for a healthy dose of Joss Whedon this week, whose "The Avengers" I saw last night -- it was awesome). But as the film is hitting theaters nationwide today, it's time to get your thoughts and provide a space for whatever these ZOMG! spoilers might be. So when/if you get around to the flick, head on back here with your take.

Space of Oven
By tiny23
from Nashville, Tennessee
Comments about GE 23.75" Double Electric Wall Oven - Stainless Steel:
This is much better than the previous oven that I had. I love to cook so therefore, I wish it was more spacious as far as width and depth. Would like to know where I can maybe order more oven racks to help maybe with a few of the issues as far as space. Other than that the oven is wonderful and my children love it also, because we don't have to wait on something to get done before we cook another item. Thanks so much.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I replace a double wall unit that was more than 20 years old and on it's last legs. I got this right before Thanksgiving and love it. I was shocked at how expensive these units have become but I find it's perfect for my use.

Great features
By bettyboop52
from Plano, Texas 75074
My thermostat went out on my double oven and since it was so old the part wasn't available anymore so they replaced it with this double oven, and I am very happy with their choice, as I said it has great features.
looks good
By Patapug
from Potomac, MD, United States
I had a hard time finding a good looking stainless oven that would fit inside my 24" space. It looks terrific, heats up in an amazingly short time, comes with lots of racks, and bakes very evenly. Haven't broiled anything yet, as this does not come with a broiler pan. That is sold separately. I was not too pleased to find that out, it really seems like it should come with a broiler pan which is made specifically for this oven. I see in the owners manual that I can order various sizes. That is my only complaint. I certainly expected a broiler pan. Otherwise, I looks like it will accommodate a big thanksgiving turkey, which is the largest thing I would be roasting. It will take several cookie sheets. Happy with the performance. It would have looked a little better if the stainless look had been carried up to the control panel.
Love it!

Haven't had it very long, but love it so far. Just want to bake like crazy with 2 ovens.
By Rodartii
from Undisclosed
I just replaced and old 24' wall oven and without making major adjustments to my cabinets, decided to stay with the same size and this is the only one that would fit. So far so good, haven't had the opportunity to really do any baking, but I love the features. I definitely do some serious baking this coming weekend for Easter.
Great value for the cost

GLENDALE, AZ - SEPTEMBER 26: Patrick Marleau #12 and Ryane Clowe #29 of the San Jose Sharks watch from the bench during the preseason NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on September 26, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Sharks 2-0. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
SAN JOSE -- Patrick Marleau is out to change his reputation as a notoriously slow starter during this lockout-shortened season. For the third consecutive game to start the season, Marleau scored two goals, the latest pair in dramatic fashion as the Sharks rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the final half of the third period for a 5-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday night. "It feels good, I won't lie," Marleau said. "It's been a good three games, but there's a lot more to go." Marleau beat Coyotes goalie Jason LaBarbera from the bottom of the right circle off a pass from Joe Pavelski at 18:07 of the third period before Joe Thornton added an empty-net goal at 19:57. "I tell everyone I come in contact with that Patty Marleau is the most skilled player I've ever practiced and played with," San Jose's Logan Couture said. Phoenix (1-3) took a 3-1 lead early in the third period when Lauri Korpikoski slipped a shot behind bewildered San Jose goalie Antti Niemi at 7:28. Two min...

Any way to increase gas mileage?
|Any way to increase gas mileage?
|Mike E said 2007-12-30 02:39
I absolutely love my 1998 Valkyrie. I know we dragon riders do trade economy for performance, but I would like to at least get better gas mileage than an Accord! Anyone have any success with improving gas mileage? Mine has a 6 degree trigger wheel so also have to use the high octane gas. Would I gain anything returning it to stock? Thanks for any suggestions!

Color quality of the GeForce4 Ti 4600 and Radeon 8500

Honestly, GF4's colour saturation/quality is WAY better than any Radeon serieses (xcept R9700)
After nVIDIA announced they'll upgrade their 2D quality and overall image quality, that ACTAULLY happened.
I'm using Digital Vibration at medium and the colour quality is WAY more BETTER than RADEON serieses. Should I say VIVIDER?
I also had radeon 64 vivo/radeon 8500 LE. Game performance was FUC*ing stupid with that videocards, I have to say. I guess you don't want me to talk about the ****ty driver suport too.
You rage3d people say after Catalyst it's been better, sometimes better than nVIDIA driver. I agree little bit.
But, do you wanna know what I'm gonna say to that?
DUH! There are still heck alot of artifact with RADEON series (I don't even think they'll be fixed)
Example? AvP 2/Aquanox/etc...
You wanna know one simply good thing about GF4? I can run any ****ty old game that requires old 3d accerlation feature without any problem. I still playing the shadows of the empire at 1024*768*16 with 4Xs AA without any artifacts. Pertty impressive huh?
Yes, I agree about the sharpness of the textures, but who cares? Everything looks normal to me even with bilinear filtering and Quincnuxx Anti Aliasing.
After Digital Vibration is enabled, there's no videocard that can make that VIVID colour setting. (again, xcept R9700)
So you littlte TROLL, LEAVE THE EARTH!!!
You never tried the nVDVD... Radeon DVD = nVDVD = Anyother DVD program. (If you don't believe me, check any nVDVD review website)
The 2D sharpness between GF 4 and R9700?
check any Ati refresh rato issues. Hope you know the differences between higher/lower refresh rate...
That was my revenge time. I got wasted by telling "GF4 is good" at the RAGE3D heheh!!!

Set 480p output for TV - beginner
1 Attachment(s)
I'm trying to use my television as a display but I can't output to the TV's native resolution. The resolution I want is 852x480 (480p) but the closest I can set it to in the nvidia-settings GUI is 720x480. Where can I add this resolution? I'm not sure where I should add this in my xorg.conf file (attached). I'm a beginner to this so any help would be appreciated.
Re: Set 480p output for TV - beginner
That cannot be done. The TV output only supports a very limited set of resolutions.
When your TV has a VGA input, use that.
Re: Set 480p output for TV - beginner
Why would VGA matter? I've connected it via DVI right now. Won't I lose some video quality by switching to vga/s-video?
Re: Set 480p output for TV - beginner
The config file gave me the impression that you use TV-OUT.
Re: Set 480p output for TV - beginner
Well is that part of the problem? Like I said, I'm connected via the DVI port.

Though the final week's action in the group phase of the 2011 Copa Libertadores de America was always going to be exciting, there were even more thrills and spills than expected as the last remaining places in the Round of 16 were settled. As ever, FIFA.com is on hand to review the best of action, which featured, among other things, last-gasp away wins for Paraguay's Cerro Porteno and Brazil's Fluminense.
Game of the week
Colo Colo 2-3 Cerro Porteno
Goals: Cristobal Jorquera 4 and Esteban Paredes 20 (Colo Colo); Jonathan Fabbro 42, 87 and Ivan Piris 47 (Cerro Porteno)
With the first half nearly over in Santiago, even the most optimistic of Cerro Porteno fans would have struggled to believe a place in the knockout stages was still possible. Indeed, while Santos were doing their bit by leading Deportivo Tachira in Sao Paulo, Cerro were trailing 2-0 to hosts Colo Colo, who thus had one hand on Group 5's second available qualifying berth.
That was until Jonathan Fabbro fired in a stunning goal just before the break, swiftly followed by Ivan Piris' equaliser two minutes after the interval. Yet even that would not have been enough for Cerro, but Fabbro still had an ace up his sleeve. With two minutes left of regular time and the Chilean fans in a frenzy, the Argentinian stepped up to place a majestic free-kick into the top-left corner of Francisco Prieto's net to seal Cerro's incredible comeback and first place in the group.
Surprise of the week
Argentinos Juniors 2-4 Fluminense
Goals: Santiago Salcedo 25 and Gustavo Oberman 54 (Argentinos Jrs.); Julio Cesar 17, Fred 40, 88 and Rafael Moura 68 (Fluminense)
Arguably just as worthy of the 'game of the week' title as Cerro's thrilling fightback, Argentinos Juniors and Fluminense were involved in another enthralling encounter on Wednesday. The Brazilian champions needed Mexico's CF America to avoid defeat against Nacional in Montevideo, which they did thanks to a 0-0 draw, as well as beating Argentinos Juniors by a two-goal margin in a packed Estadio Diego Armando Maradona. Difficult but not impossible, particularly in the minds of Flu supporters, who saw their team pull off an improbable escape from relegation in 2009, followed by an equally dramatic championship win one year later.
Having gone ahead on two occasions, only to be pegged back both times, O Tricolor Carioca made it 3-2 midway through the second half through Rafael Moura - though they still needed a further strike to progress. Just like Cerro, that decisive effort came two minutes from the end of normal time, with Flu's talismanic striker Fred grabbing his second of the night when converting a penalty awarded for a foul on Edinho. By taking the final available place in the last 16, Fluminense join four other Brazilian outfits in the knockout stages.
In Group 1 on Tuesday, already-qualified Libertad ended San Luis' hopes of joining them by inflicting a 2-0 win and securing first place in the section, as well as the phase's second-best overall record behind Cruzeiro. The result heaped even greater significance on the meeting between Universidad San Martin and Once Caldas, and it was the latter - the 2004 champions - who pulled off a hard-fought 2-0 away win via goals from Wason Renteria and Matias Mirabaje to keep their Libertadores' dream alive.
Also on Tuesday, title holders Internacional were given a rough ride in the first half of their clash with Emelec, before second-half goals from Rafael Sobis and Leandro Damiao sealed the three points and guaranteed first place in Group 6. Defeat for the Ecuadorian side took the heat off Mexico's Jaguares, who progressed in second place despite slipping to a 2-1 reverse away to Bolivia's Jorge Wilstermann.
Meanwhile in Group 3, Fluminense's dramatic qualification was only made possible thanks to the draw between Nacional and America in the section's other game. Indeed, the goalless scoreline would have been enough to see the Montevideo club through, were it not for Fred's late intervention over in Buenos Aires. Nacional thus bow out, while America advance as group winners.
Though the Colo Colo-Cerro Porteno clash had more twists and turns, fellow Group 5 contenders Santos held their nerve to beat already eliminated Deportivo Tachira 3-1 with goals from Neymar, Jonathan and Danilo. The victory and resultant qualification capped a remarkable turnaround for O Peixe, who overcame a stuttering start to the group phase and a change of coach - bringing in ex-Flu and Sao Paulo boss Muricy Ramalho - to boost their supporters' hopes of a third Libertadores title.
Player of the week
Danilo (Santos)
In the two wins that proved decisive in reaching the last 16, 2-0 over Cerro Porteno in Asuncion and 3-1 against Deportivo Tachira in the Pacaembu, Santos were driven on by a member of the Brazil side crowned champions at this year's South American U-20 Championship. And no, that man was not Neymar, though the jewel in O Peixe's crown did mark a fine display with a goal against Tachira. In fact, the hero of the hour was right wing-back turned midfielder Danilo, who scored a stunning opener in the clash with Cerro and was involved in all three of Santos' goals on Wednesday. After his clever dummy enabled Neymar to open the scoring, Danilo set up Jonathan to fire the second before putting away the third himself.
The stat
6 – For the sixth consecutive year, Brazil has five teams in the last 16 of the Libertadores, thus underlying the country's dominance over recent years. It is also the fourth year in a row that all the Brazilian sides that started the group phase made it through the knockout stages, while Cruzeiro have done so every year since 2008.
What they said
"I could see in each player's eyes that we had what it took to qualify, even when the ref gave a penalty for the other team. I said 'lads, we'll do it'. Our hard work paid off, we were piling forward and then getting back to defend," Fluminense striker Fred after his side's epic and decisive victory against Argentinos Juniors.

The San Francisco 49ers are sticking with David Akers. San Francisco announced Friday that it waived kicker Billy Cundiff. Cundiff was signed by the 49ers on Jan. 1 to compete with the struggling Akers. The 49ers decided to keep Akers as their regular kicker but left Cundiff on the roster prior to their playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers last week. However, they did not activate him for the game. Cundiff has played in 106 games, converting 139 of 184 (75.5 percent) of his field goal attempts and 217 PATs in his career.
