KABUL: Afghanistan's election commission on Saturday suspended the auditing process of 8.1 million votes cast in the presidential run-off poll on June 14, after the two candidates failed to reach agreement on the procedure for invalidating votes.
"The Independent Election Commission (IEC) has decided to suspend temporarily the vote audit until the fourth day of Eid, and we hope it is enough time for the candidates to sort out their differences," the IEC chairman Ahmad Yusuf Nuristani told a press conference Saturday.
The Muslim Eid festival which is expected to begin on Tuesday marks the end of fasting month of Ramadan.

This invention relates to the field of polymers, particularly urethane rubbers and foams, and to a method of making such polymers electrically conductive or electrically semi-conductive.
In the prior art, polymers, particularly urethane rubber, have been used for a variety of applications in which it is desirable that the product have some electrical conductivity, either throughout the product itself or at least on the exposed surface of the product.
One example involves rollers used in many printers to help transport paper or carry toner in electrograhic printing. The rollers are often made of a polymer such as polyurethane or covered with a similar polymer to facilitate their paper-carrying or toner transfer ability. Different materials, including rubber, may be used in place of polymers for these applications, but because these polymers are much more durable than rubber, they are preferred. Most polymers do not conduct electricity, however, and static charges, which adversely effect the operation of the printer, can build up on the rollers. A similar problem exists if rollers of the same material are used for other purposes, such as carrying semiconductors as part of a semiconductor manufacturing process. Other end uses require conductive or semi-conductive parts as well.
As a result, there have been attempts make such polymer parts electrically conductive. In some cases, the part made from the polymer has been coated with an electrically conductive material. Unfortunately, these coatings have short life spans, and some are toxic. Another approach has been to disperse an electrically-conductive material in the polymer when the part is being fabricated. These electrically-conductive materials have included metal powders such as silver, copper, and nickel, and also materials such as carbon black, graphite, or other conductive polymers. However, the resulting products have several serious drawbacks. In the prior art, in order to make the polymer even semi-conductive, a large amount of conductive filler, e.g., metal powder like carbon black, had to be used, often as high as 10% to 40% of the overall mixture by weight. This degraded the mechanical and thermal properties of the resulting polymer part. Moreover, because of the size, and nature of the conductive particles, as well as the way in which the particles were mixed with the polymer, conductivity was not very great.
Another related problem is that it is very difficult, due to the relative size and weight of the added particles and the difficulty in dispersing them into the polymeric composition, to achieve a uniform distribution of the conductive material throughout the polymer. As a result of an uneven distribution, the electrical conductivity of the resulting product is not uniform, and the resulting product's mechanical and thermal properties suffer as well. As a result of all this, in general, products made from such compounds have been far less than satisfactory, and in fact, in some applications, become high maintenance items.
Finally, a related problem is that it is often desirable to select the specific conductivity of an polymer in advance, as different end applications preferentially require parts with different conductivities. Selection was not really possible with the prior art methods of making semi-conductive polymers.
Accordingly, one object of the invention is to provide a method by which polymeric materials may be made electrically conductive, without the need for conductive coatings or large amounts of conductive fillers.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method of making an electrically conductive polymeric material so that the resulting product has uniform electrical conductivity throughout.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method of making an electrically conductive polymeric material so that the relative electrical resistance of the resulting product may be varied with a high degree of accuracy.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method of making an electrically-conductive polymeric material whereby the mechanical and thermal properties of the resulting product are not degraded from what would be expected with a similar material which was non-conductive.
Another object of the invention is to provide a polymeric material which is electrically conductive and which may be molded and machined.
Another object of the invention is to provide an electrically-conductive polymeric material that is free of voids.
Another object of the invention is to provide an electrically-conductive polymeric material that when used on the surface of rollers, e.g., in a printer, inhibits build- up a static charge on the roller.
Another object of the invention is to provide a polymeric material with good thermal stability.
The invention features an electrically conductive or semi-conductive polymeric material that has a resistivity of between 1012 ohm-cm and 105 ohm-cm. The material is a solid solution of metal salt dissolved in a polymer. The metal salt is complexed with the polymer, which is what provides the material with its conductive properties. Depending on the desired resistivity, the quantity of metal salt in the material can be varied, although preferably the material includes only a small amount (less than 1%, more preferably less than 0.1%) of the metal salt by weight. Because only a small amount of the metal salt is included in the material, the material has good mechanical and thermal properties. These properties, coupled with the conductive nature of the material, make the material suitable for use as coatings on, e.g., rollers used on paper printers.
The preferred polymers contain, e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur or halide atoms, or unsaturated (double and triple bond) groups, which are available for complexing with the metal salt. Preferred polymers include elastomeric polymers like polyurethanes and rubbers, adhesive polymers, and plastics. When rubbers are used, the material also preferably includes a plasticizer.
Preferred metal salts suitable for use in the material include transition metal halides like CuCl2, CuBr2, CoCl2, ZnCl2, NiCl2, FeCl2, FeBr2, FeBr3, CuI2, FeCl3, FeI3, and FeI2. Other preferred salts include Cu(NO3)2, copper lactate, copper tartrate, iron phosphate, iron oxalate, LiBF4, and H4Fe(CN)6.
The invention also features a method of preparing these polymeric materials. Generally, the method includes making a homogenous solution of the metal salt in a polymer or polymer precursor, and curing the composition. When the polymer precursor is an isocyanate functional prepolymer, the solution also includes an extender (polyol or polyamine) that reacts with the isocyanate groups during curing to form a polyurethane resin. This method results in an even distribution of the metal salt throughout the polymeric material, which provides the material with uniform conductivity throughout.
The conductive elastomers are suitable for use in a variety of industrial applications to control surface charge and to provide good heat conductivity and expanded life. For example, the polymers can be used to coat the belts, shafts, wheels, inserters, and paper handling and copier toner pick-up rollers in paper printers. The polymer can be used to coat car bodies, print circuits, seals, and to dissipate charges in various other electrical applications, such as coating on belts that are used to transport semiconductor wafers during manufacture. The conductive plastic materials (such as nylon) can be used to coat disc drives, machine body parts, cabinets, and carry cases.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description of the preferred embodiment thereof, and from the claims.
The preferred polymers are polyurethanes. The preferred method of preparing conductive polymeric materials including a polyurethane is to mix an extender (polyol or amine) or an isocyanate-functional prepolymer with a solution of a metal salt. The mixture is then cured. Of course, other standard ingredients, like a cure accelerator or a flame retardant, may be included in the mixture.
Conductive Laser Roller
A steel core was coated with an adhesive (Thixon AP 3437 from Morton International, West Alexandria, Ohio). The part was then completely dried.
A 5% solution of copper chloride was prepared as follows. In a one liter container, 475 grams of Fyrol PCF (tri(B-chloropropyl) phosphate, available from Akzo Chemical Inc., Chicago, Ill.), 475 grams of Fyrol CEF (tri(B-chlorethyl) phosphate, available from Akzo Chemical Inc., Chicago, Ill.), 50 grams of dried copper chloride (available from Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wis.), and 6 grams of Pluracol TP-440 (polyol available from BASF Corporation, Parsippany, N.J.) were mixed under mechanical stirring at 200-500 rpm and at 220 F. for 2 hours. A green solution was obtained.
A 55 gallon resin tank (made by Amplan Inc., Middlesex, N.J., equipped with vacuum, stirring, pressure, venting valves and temperature control) was filled with a polyisocyanate functional prepolymer, Vibrathane 8011 (available from Uniroyal Chemicals, Middlebury, Conn.) and the temperature raised to, and maintained at, 170� F. In a 15 liter container, 8200 grams of Isonol 93 (available from the Upjohn Co., Kalamozoo, Mich.), 1400 grams of TIPA (tributoxyethyl phosphate, available from FMC Corp. of Nitro, W.Va.), 160 grams of copper chloride solution (5%) and 48 grams of Metacure T-12 (dibutylton dilaurate, available from Air Products, Allentown, Pa.) were mixed with mechanical stirring at 200-500 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. The TIPA increases the solubility of the ingredients; the T-12 is a catalyst. The mixture was then degassed for 30 minutes under vacuum. The mixture was transferred to the 5 gallon curative tank (made by Amplan Inc. and equipped with a mechanical mixer).
Both the prepolymer and the curative were mixed through an Automatic Process Control dispenser to produce a uniform mixing. By adjusting the flow rate for each tank, 148600 grams of the prepolymer (Vibrathane 8011) and 9800 grams of the curative were mixed thoroughly.
The mixture was charged to each casting mold surrounding the steel cores. The mixture then was cured in the casting mold at 260� F. for 20 minutes. It was then demolded and left in the oven at 230� F. for 12 hours.
The cased roller was then ground to obtain the specified dimensions. The finished part has hardness of 53 Shore A and had electrical resistivity of 3�109 ohms-cm.
Conductive Laser Roller
A second conductive laser roller was made by an analagous procedure as in Example 1, except that the formulation was changed to the following:
The finished part had a hardness of 53 Shore A and a resistivity of 1.5�109 ohms-cm.
Non-Foam Polyurethane Formulation and the Effect of Varying the Quantity of Metal Salt
A 0.5% solution of copper chloride (10 g) is added to 190 g of Metacure T-12 and mixed until the copper chloride dissolved. The resulting copper chloride solution (165 g) was mixed with 8200 grams of polyol-234-630 (polyglycol, available from BASF, N.J.), and this solution is mixed with 1300 grams of trisopropanolamine 99 (available from Dow Chemical USA, Mo.) at room temperature. This solution (30.4 g) is then vigorously mixed with 455 g of Vibrathane 8011 at 90-110� F. The mixture was then poured into multiple cavity molds and cured at 220-250� F. for 30 minutes. It was demolded and post-cured in an oven at 220� F. for 12 hours. The urethane rubber had a resultant of 3.5�109 ohms-cm.
The amount of copper chloride in the material was 0.03%. Further materials were made in which the quantity of copper chloride was increased while the remaining materials remained the same. The resistivity dropped (more conductivity) as the level of copper chloride increased, as follows:
Other Non-Foam Polyurethane Formulations
A metal salt solution (25%) was formulated with 15 grams of the metal salt; 20 grams of a flame retardant, tri-(B-chloropropyl)phosphate; 20 grams of Isonol 93; and 5 grams of tributoxyethyl phosphate. The metal salts that were used in the solution included zinc chloride, cobalt chloride, iron oxalate, lithium chloride, copper bromide chromium chloride, and copper chloride, all of which were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The salts were ground and dried prior to use. The solutions were prepared by mechanically mixing at 200-500 rpm at 150� F. for 1-3 hours.
The 25% metal salt solution (50 grams) was combined with a 38 grams of an extender MOCA (4,4′-diamino-3,3′-dichlorodiphenylmethane, available from Palmer Davis Seikra, Inc., N.Y.), and a polyurethane prepolymer, Vibrathane B-601 (a polyester/TDI prepolymer, available from Uniroyal Chemical). This was done by adding first the MOCA and then the prepolymer to the metal solution, with mixing, at 180-220� F. Vigorous mixing continued for 2-5 minutes.
The mixtures were then poured into a multiplecavity metal mold, and the prepolymer was cured at 220-250� F. for 30 minutes. The material was removed from the mold and post-cured in an oven for 12 to 20 hours at 200� F., after which curing was completed by letting the material sit at room temperature for at least 3 days to complete curing.
The polymeric materials that were obtained had the following resistivities:
Polyurethane Foams
The following conductive foams were prepared according to the same general procedure used above. The numbers in the table are the grams of the particular ingredient included in the example. The metal salt solutions were prepared as described previously; a foam agent such as methylene chloride, H2O was used. The notes at the end of the table supply further information concerning the ingredients.
Semiconductive Rubber
Conductive rubber materials are prepared as follows.
Iron Chloride (15 g, purchased from Johnson Mathley Electronics of Ward Hill, Mass.) are added to 85 g of the plasticizer dibutyl phthalate. The mixture is heated to 200� C. and mechanically stirred for 4 hours. A dark solution is obtained.
This solution is mixed with rubber materials (such as natural rubber, nitrile rubber, EPDM, styrene butadiene rubber, neoprene rubber, polysulfide rubber), and polyacrylate rubber, sulfer, and additives for rubber compounding. The rubber was then compression molded at 300 psi and 300� F. for 20 minutes to cure the rubber.
A copper chloride solution is mixed with a curative and adhesive, such as Thixon 405 (available from Morton International), Chemlok 205, 213, and 214 (available from Lord Corp.), and Conap 1146 (available from Conap Corp). These adhesives were mixed with copper chloride solutions to provide rubber materials with resistivities of between 1�107 ohms-cm and 1�1012 ohms-cm. It is then coated on metal surfaces, dried and casted with urethane rubber.
Hot Melt
Plastic materials are melted and mixed with metal salts under heat. The molten polymer was poured with into mold to form conductive parts, "cure", as used herein, is meant to include this procedure, as well as procedures in which the prepolymer actually cross-links and chemically reacts to form further bonds. The plastic material used should contain electrons donor groups or atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, halides, or unsaturated bonds. The plastic material can be, for example, a polycarbonate, polyimide, polyamide, polysulfer, or fluorocarbon.
Other embodiments are within the following claims.

The story that Bill Clinton was en route to North Korea broke as the secretary of state arrived in Kenya hoping to highlight her commitment to Africa.
Instead, the spotlight was on her husband on a different continent and Hillary Clinton, who had been calling for the release of Ling and Lee for months, was left trying to catch some of the reflected glow from that spotlight.
The secretary told reporters in Nairobi today that she was "very pleased to get the news that my husband's plane had taken off with the two young women on board."
"I had a very brief conversation with my husband and we didn't get into the details of some of the questions you are asking. There will be time to talk about those details later," she said.
The secretary answered few questions about the arrangement to free Ling and Lee, but did say that rumors her husband apologized to the North Koreans were "not true."
In recent weeks Hillary Clinton had made rhetorical concessions and appeared to apologize to North Korea. She even wrote the North Koreans a secret letter.
She was rewarded by having North Korea deride her as a "schoolgirl" and likening her to an old woman "shopping."
Why was Bill Clinton's diplomacy able to succeed when she could not?
In large part because Bill Clinton did what no Obama administration official could: go to North Korea with hat in hand to retrieve the journalists. Such a visit by a senior administration official would perhaps give up too much leverage when issues like Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program remain on the table.
The former president possessed a rare combination of qualifications that North Korea wanted to see before releasing the two Americans: gravitas and connection to the Obama administration.
Clinton's mission provided the reclusive and isolated North Korean regime with the respect and legitimacy it wants. The pictures of leader Kim and Clinton that aired on state television say it all. The North Korean leader flashes a satisfied grin while Clinton's face is all business.
Critics say Bill Clinton's visit only rewarded North Korea for its recent provocative actions.
"I think it is quite a concession to North Koreans. North Korea craves affirmation, especially a high profile former president of the united states," said Peter Brookes of The Heritage Foundation. "Some people would say this is actually rewarding bad behavior."
Using a special representative, something Secretary Clinton said in June was a possibility, also allowed for the separation of the journalist and nuclear issues. The United States wants North Korea to return to multilateral talks on its nuclear program and not make it an issue between only the U.S. and North Korea.

Veteran American television producer Sarah Timberman, who visited Israel last week and participated in a master class sponsored by the Jewish Federation's Tel Aviv-Los Angeles Film and Television Partnership, is no stranger to the business.
Veteran American television producer Sarah Timberman, who visited Israel last week and participated in a master class sponsored by the Jewish Federation's Tel Aviv-Los Angeles Film and Television Partnership, is no stranger to the business.
She's gone from a childhood of attending movie premiers to a stint as president of an award-winning production company to her current role, as co-owner of another production outfit.
Timberman counts her mother, who was one of the first females to get work on the other side of the camera, as her role model.
Timberman remembers herself as a little girl being embarrassed at the premier screening of "The Godfather" when her mother blocked her eyes during the movie's more violent scenes.
Her mother was also a veteran of the publishing industry and worked as a copywriter in a New York ad agency in the 1960s. According to her daughter, Timberman's mother lived in a world very similar to that depicted in the award-winning series "Mad Men."
"Her stories could easily become plotlines for the show," Timberman says.
Not only was her mother the only woman among the copywriters, but also the only Jew.
When she asked to bring her Jewish boyfriend along on a short vacation to her boss's hunting lodge in Connecticut, her boss refused.
While her boss did not say religion was the reason he refused, it was implied, and so her mother refused the invitation.
As the story goes, when she returned to work on Monday, she discovered a dead partridge on the wall of her office, apparently hunted that same weekend.
The story not only goes to show how the world has changed, but also Timberman's ability to identify and present a good story, one of the demands of her job.
Today she owns Timberman-Beverly Productions, which produced this year's "Justified," lauded by American television critics, some of whom ranked it as the best new show.
The drama, broadcast on the FX cable network (and which has not yet been acquired for broadcast in Israel ), brings Elmore Leonard's rich text to the screen; the hero is a tough U.S. Marshal named Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant ).
His attempts to deal with lawbreakers, and the carefully-preserved ironic tone of Leonard's novels are the show's hallmarks.
"Finishing each episode is like closing up a really great, gritty, little crime novel," the Internet journal Slant gushed.
In the past, as president of Universal Network Television, Timberman was in charge of all its comedy, drama, daily and reality series, including "Law and Order," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," "Just Shoot Me," "American Dream" and others.
She was also responsible for bringing young adult series such as "Dawson's Creek" and "Party of Five" to the screen.
During her term at Universal, she bought the rights to Ricky Gervais' brilliant mockumentary comedy, "The Office," which has become a long-running hit in the U.S.
Brainstorming and therapy
Timberman led the master class at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque at the initiative of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation.
This is the 12th time the workshops have been held, during which well-known names in American television meet with a chosen group of young artists from Israel and the U.S. She absorbs quite a lot from these encounters, Timberman says.
"When you work in a senior position in American television, you're hungry for innovation, but sometimes feel that you are hearing the same ideas again and again," she said. "Here everything is original. It is a new industry, a new community; everyone I've spoken to here is passionate."
In the workshop, Timberman gave a short course on the structure of American television.
Like many other executives, she is surprised by the large gap between funding and the time devoted to work on Israeli series as compared to American ones.
"The budget for one episode of an American series is that of an entire season of an Israeli show," she said, and the time taken to record one Israeli episode is half that devoted to one episode in the U.S.
The most prominent difference, she thinks, is the absence of what is known as a writers' room.
"Here, the voice of one writer is heard in every series. In American series, perhaps with the exception of David Kelly [the creator of "The Practice" and "Boston Legal," among others, who likes to write every word of his shows], there is a writers' room. For six to eight weeks, eight hours a day, even before starting to write the series, they sit with the manager [called a show runner] and talk."
According to Timberman, much like on "30 Rock," the writers not only brainstorm, but they "talk, often making confessions and telling personal stories. In the case of series we worked on such as 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Party of Five,' the writers actually brought up love stories, shared their relations with their families, a lot of therapy."
Timberman says she thinks that this is the most important stage in the creative process. She explains that for an average show, there are eight layers of writers, with the series creators overseeing them and guiding the tone.
In shows that are more formulaic - she emphasizes that "Law and Order" is "a formula in the best sense of the word" - there is no need for a writers' room.
"On this kind of series," which will soon end after 20 years onscreen, one knows in advance, according to Timberman, "that you don't tell long stories. Each screenwriter writes alone and keeps in touch with the show runner. They write drafts and he organizes them at the end. It is part of a system. The stories on 'Law and Order' are told very well and have a loyal audience which knows what to expect." But most series, she says, need cross fertilization among the writers.
Sex and fairy tales
After working as an executive at Universal, Timberman decided to become an independent producer. Her new series, which are in the development stage, are varied. One, aimed at the cable networks, is based on the sex therapists Masters and Johnson and their role in the American sexual revolution.
Another project is film noir adaptation of Brothers Grimm fairy tales. "Like 'The Wire,' which dealt with the city of Baltimore via a different municipal structure each season, we plan to treat each story via a different fairy tale. What happened to Little Red Riding Hood in the forest, for example," she said.
Together with her husband Ed Redlich (the lead producer of "Without a Trace" ) - whom she met as a young woman at a Jewish summer camp in New Hampshire - she is developing a series currently titled "The Rememberer." It is based on a short story by J. Robert Lennon, in which a female New York police detective remembers every detail of the previous 25 years, a quality very helpful to her work but a curse on her personal life.
The decision to leave her executive position at Universal and open her own company "allows me more flexibility, and as a mother I needed more control of my daily schedule," Timberman said.
But there is another reason: "As a producer you can advance projects connected to your own taste, things you yourself would like to watch."

Nas celebrated the eve of his album release on The Late Show With David Letterman. "Look at this cover, that's me everynight," Letterman laughed, poking fun at the Life Is Good album cover, which features a photo of the king of Queensbridge with his ex-wife Kelis' wedding dress draped over his lap. Chest puffed out with pride, perhaps for his 10th album, or maybe for precious little girl, Nas hit the stage in a pair of shades and glowing white pants and shoes. He performed his confessional "Daughters" with a live band behind him, and he sure sounded serious when he warned, "When she date, we wait behind the door with a sawed-off, because we think nobody is good enough for our own daughter." Our hearts melted when, with a smile and a hand over his heart, he punctuated the performance with, "LOVE!" Aww!

Gear Question
I bought this tent earlier this season,...
I bought this tent earlier this season, love it. I've been using a small tyvek ground sheet but I'm thinking about the msr version. Does the MSR Twin Sisters ground sheet have grommet holes in it so my hiking poles don't tear up the sheet?
It doesn't have grommet holes, but the ground sheet does have an extra layer of material where the poles rest. If you have a good system with your current ground sheet , save your money, the footprint probably isn't much of an improvement.

GTX 470 or HD 5870?
Ok i know this is a nvidi based fan site and ive always had nvidia cards but it seems like ATI have brought out some killer GFX cards in the past few months.
Put asid the Name(Nvidia/ATI) .. Of the GTX 470 or HD 5870 witch of the two hase the pure power? ... Witch has more bang?
I have a chance to upgrade in the next month and im not sure if i sould stick with Nvidia or swapp to ATI ... Both cards i have in my sites(GTX 470 & HD 5870)are both £314.
Without being bias against either brand witch has the most sheer power?
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
HD5870 over 470
I went from HD5870 to GTX 480. Having some driver issues currently, now I gotta wait this crap out. The HD5870 is faster than the 470 and the drivers for the HD5870 are much more mature.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
470! Performs like 5870, and has great oc scaling.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
For pure power? Definitely 5870. Cheaper over here too, so a much better deal. Not sure how prices are in the US.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
depends on how you use it.
With a DX11 game, the gtx 470 will probably be a bit faster.
In a dx10/dx9 game, the 5870 will be faster.
The 5870 uses significantly less power as well.
Sticking with a gtx 470 can be a fruitful investment though. Typically, they are cheaper than a 5870, so the choice isn't this difficult to make.
Personally, I would take the gtx 470, despite it's relatively poor energy efficiency, for the dx11 performance.
Oh, and if you play at over 1900x1200, ATI cards handle that better for some reason. In this case, the 5870 would be better.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
Definitely 5870.
Uses less power, and is more powerful (in most cases)
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
You play a lot of AoC, yes?
I've compared the 470 and 5870 @ stock in that title.
Here's a very demanding wide shot near Kesh, 4xAA|16xAF all on or enabled/max @ 1920x. I use DX9 because 10 is somewhat buggy regardless of card used.
Both are well above the 30FPS threshold and perfectly playable. Load for the 470 was 81C and load for the 5870 was 65C. IMO the FPS edge of the 470 in this title is offset by the much cooler load temp of the 5870.
You'd be happy with either card and the 5870 does idle and particularly load cooler.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
Like all MMO's this is the time where lots of particle effects get thrown off and causes slowdowns! ;) In Sabazious or Seruah, fps goes down to below 20 fps at 11920 by 1200 rez with 4XAA and stuff
However, I have some good news for AoC, the DX9 and DX 10 client for Rise of the Godslayer expansion packs as a separate executable for both DX versions....are a lot more optimized according to those in the beta, so all cards should benefit even more. That is if they are separate executables for main game and expansion and I dunno how an integrated executable would work....here is hoping it does work!
Still, Raids will bring cards down in performance!
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
I haven't attempted raiding with max details on any graphics card yet @ 1920x using filtering. As you already noted, potential slow downs could be deadly. When I raid I disable many features to keep my FPS as high as possible. Currently I'm not willing to risk party members lives because of an odd slow down or pause. If I tag along in a non essential role in the future I may try it.
I have done the Crow's Nest and areas like it with all on and maxed without difficulty and that's not the same as some of the most demanding raids.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
Just kidding here guys....I'm sure they have to iron out some issues w/ the fermi. Very typical.
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
Re: GTX 470 or HD 5870?
Now I'll add idle temps to what I noted earlier about load.
Stock idle temps for a single 470 in my case was 42C. Single HD 5870 was 33C. Below are stock idle SLi/Crossfire numbers.
So around 10C idle variation and around 16C or more load. In AoC the only difference I felt between them was the amount of heat coming out of my case :p

iPhone 5 rumor rebound
It has been nothing but new iPad, iPad 3 and more iPad HD news for weeks now. Time for a quick iPhone 5 rumor roundup and there is fresh juice for the squeezing with unsourced answers to open questions about the next-generation Apple smartphone's display, connectivity and even the ubiquitous 30-pin dock connector, a standard feature in Cupertino's mobile kit since 2001.
Let's kill off perhaps the wildest iPhone next prediction, hope and just plain fantasy — a 4.6-inch display. Whereas it's entirely possibly a larger display is coming, this particular size would break Apple's iOS design paradigm, causing platform fragmentation — not going to happen.
From the forgone conclusion department, we have 4G. With the iPad already delivering LTE, such as it is, Apple's next smartphone will certainly offer the connection technology
The open question here is how much carriers will charge and how low the data caps will be — seriously, what's the point of owning a Ferrari if you can't get out of first gear?
Although few are talking about it, Corning's thinner + stronger Gorilla Glass II seems a sure thing for the iPhone 5, as well.
Considering the iPhone 5's base specs — processor, graphics, RAM — it seems quite reasonable to assume that the A5X and its impressive quad-core graphics will be chosen.
If Apple does indeed deliver their new smartphone with a larger display, additional RAM will helpful. Otherwise, the need might not be there.
A reason to change
Because Apple needs more space inside its devices — more battery, for example — iMore and Makotakra before are saying the iPhone 5 will replace the 30-pin connector with a micro-style dock. Reasonable enough?
Apple loves small and Apple loves to consolidate, which calls to mind Thunderbolt — the I/O tech on steroids the company launched together with Intel that's spread to every current Mac but one.
However attractive it is, pundits disagree on whether Apple would pull the trigger on the transition if for no other reason than cost, as Thunderbolt controllers currently cost $20 to $30 each which is about as much as the company pays for the A5 processor in the iPhone.
Me? I'm a believe as Thunderbolt ties together loose ends across Apple's product lines…
What's your take?

Pretty Good but Hurt Like Hell
I had Thermage about 2 years ago and it hurt like hell. I had to have it done twice because after 6 months there were no visible results from the first treatment.

Good Experience and Immediate Results
I went in for my Thermage treatment just one week ago and had my eyes and face treated.

Just Didn't Work
I had researched this procedure for 2-3 yrs before deciding to have it done, and thought I'd done my homework well.

Lasted 3-4 Months
It was incrediably painful. About two days after the procedure my face swelled up until I looked like a chipmunk with staches of nuts in both my cheeks.

Hi there
Great looking theme. I'm thinking of buying it but have a few questions first please:
1. When using the blog masonry layout (http://grab.by/rUTg), is it possible to have different width posts as you can in the portfolio masonry layout (http://grab.by/rUTk)?
2. If the answer to Q1 is yes, how do you select the different widths when creating a post?
3. Would it be possible to amend the loop for the blog masonry layout so that the larger sized blog entries always showed before the smaller sized entries? (I would pay you for this is necessary.)
4. In blog masonry layout, do the blog items need to be the same height or can they be variable height as on the portfolio masonry page?
5. For the single post page, is it possible to have full width page with no sidebar?
Many thanks for your time.
Kind regards Richard
Sorry I missed the last question:
6. Instead of pagination on the blog masonry page, is it possible to (or would it be easy to) add infinite scroll?
Thanks again. Richard
Thanks for the nice words!
1. Yes
2. When you create post you can select width in the post meta section.
3. You can do that with custom coding. I suggest you to hire 3rd party developer to achieve that. We are not available for freelance mods.
4. Yes, they can be different height, no restrictions applied there.
5. There's no full width post layout out of the box, but it will be easy for 3rd party developer to create one (cloning full width page layout).
6. I do remember some folks were using infinitive loop plugin. Again, 3rd party dev should help you setup this one too.
Hi Mixey. Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.
Does the theme support RTL languages?
Thank you, Inbal
I'm afraid, but no.
Hi Mixey
Just getting back to your answer to my Q2 above (When you create post you can select width in the post meta section), does the meta field take the form of a custom field? Any chance you could link to a screenshot please?
Thanks Richard
Is the theme compatible to WP 3.8?
I recently purchased this theme and it is amazing! Highly recommend it, it's beautiful, responsive & works with all the plugins I needed to complete my website. Works with WP3.8 just fine @ sweethomemall. It was easy to install, had it up and running just as I wanted within a day.
Don´t update to WP 3.9. with the New Horizon Theme! The Visual Composer doesn´t work anymore. Had the problem and couldn´t import pictures anymore (VC stays blank)! I downgraded to WP 3.8.3 (it´s the last I know that works with New Horizon.
Any new upgrades coming soon for this theme, any consideration making it responsive on any next update?
I'm afraid but no. We are out of resources and person who was responsible for themes is not available anymore. Other developers are working on our Visual Composer plugin full time.
I have a problem with the theme i bought from you – in my blog the posts are "invisible" but when i click randomly i can enter into the posts and inside they look fine.
I can see only the menu bar on the top of the page and the background My site hosting company said it is a css problem – i haven't touched the css page – do you think you can help me with this?
Thank you very much, Maria

Although the 2013 golf season has just begun, several stories are already making headlines, from Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson wins to Vijay Singh's steroid use. Which story do golf fans really want to hear about? Unable to dial into the Golf Channel Media Conference Call yesterday, I was sent the transcript which started off with a very interesting question, namely, "what has been the most significant thing to kickstart the golf season and why?" Three experts that appear on Morning Drive were at hand to answer questions. Unfortunately for golf…and for Vijay Singh, the World Golf Hall of Famer was on the tip of the tongues of all three respondents; Gary Williams, John Cook and Brandel Chamblee, but it was Williams who mentioned that, with Singh's admission, that this is now a PGA Tour issue which means this could lead to suspension…not very good for Vijay who turns fifty this year. As for recent victories by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, yes they are significant but, with the seaso...

Treasure Coast Fishing Report: Nov. 6, 2012
Check in daily for the latest in fishing news on the Treasure Coast
Jeanne Middleton of Middleton's Fish Camp at Blue Cypress Lake in western Indian River County reported that the weather is very beautiful. The bass fishing has been hit and miss, but the speckled perch are beginning to be more active. Water temperature has been 68 to 74 degrees. Anglers Don and Barbara Buhr, Ronnie Cook, and Charlie and Gwen Price all had great trips for specks.
Capt. Charlie Conner of Fish Tales guide service out of The Fishing Center in Fort Pierce reported good fishing last week and expected this week. Conner steered his anglers to catches of redfish, trout, flounder, snapper, jacks, sheepshead, Spanish mackerel and a number of other species on a single trip. Incoming tide and D.O.A. glow or glow with firetail shrimp were best.
Capt. Greg Scherer of Bridge Tender Guide Service out of Billy Bones Bait and Tackle reported solid snook fishing throughout parts of the St. Lucie River. The low flows from the lake are aiding in the return of mullet schools observed all the way up to Shepard's Park in Stuart. Using jigs and live mullet, snook in the slot can be caught at the Roosevelt and Evans Crary Bridges.
Capt. Mark King of Reel Dreams guide service fishes the opposite side of the lake, out of Clewiston, but his report indicates how good the bass fishing can be. He said the improvement in the shiner bite has been the biggest change the past few weeks. King recommends five dozen as a good number of shiners if planning a trip. When running, keep an eye out for duck hunters.
