Our experts translate recalls into plain English
GMC Sonoma ProblemsElectrical Contacts in the Ignition Switch May Fail
The electrical contacts in the ignition switch may fail and result in erratic instrument panel gauge operation or illumination of the Check Engine Light. A failed ignition switch will require replacement.
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.
It is common for the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank read the fuel level incorrectly. The sensor must be replaced to correct the condition. Our technicians recommend having the complete fuel pump module replaced on high mileage vehicles.
GMC Sonoma Questionsswitching to 4hi from 2hi by itself what causes it (1 answer)
My truck will switch to 4hi when driving it down the road and turning the corner making it hard to turn
After running out of gas I added a few gallons and it didn't start. I then added a few more gallons and, it still doesn't start.
Smell of gas is strong coming from inside (driver door) I smell it from outside too. 6 months ago is when I first noticed. However, three months ago it passed inspection . Machanic says it's ok . Yet I'm not convinced.
GMC Sonoma RecallsAir Bag Labels May Be Incorrect
Vehicles may have an air bag warning label with incorrect statements. This is against the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Owners will be sent corrected labels and installation instructions. The recall began June 4, 2004. The GM recall number is 04021.
The payload as listed on the vehicle certification label exceeds the actual limitations of the vehicle. If the weight limitations of the vehicle are exceeded, the vehicle will not operate as designed, and may cause a safety issue. Owners will be sent a revised vehicle certification label that is accurate.

Incompatibility between new and existing products is a major problem in many technical disciplines including networking and signal switching. Often new products are developed having increased data rates but customers have invested heavily in legacy products operating at a slower data rate.
For example, high end routers are now using switched crossbars that operate at data rates up to 5 Gb/s to transfer data between line cards. However, customers may have a significant investments in line cards that operate at a slower data rate. These switched crossbars use serial links between the crossbar switches which are often implemented as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The ASICs are connected to serializer/deserializer (SerDes) chips which convert the parallel data processed internally by the ASIC into serial data streams which are transmitted on the backplane.
One approach to implementing data transfer between SerDes chips operating at different data rates has been to manipulate the data rate of the SerDes operating at the faster data rate. However, such approaches generally add to the complexity and power consumption of the SerDes part.
Accordingly, improved techniques for implementing backwards compatibility are required to preserve significant investments in equipment.
According to one aspect of the invention, the use of generic SerDes parts to communicate with peers at different data rates is allowed without requiring hardware modification to the SerDes parts.
According to another aspect of the invention, SerDes parts communicate with cards via multiple channels operating at a slow data rate. At the transmit side, duplicates of a parallel data stream are provided to a SerDes which multiplexes the data at a fast data rate to generate a psuedo-slow data rate interleaved serial data stream which is transmitted at the high data rate. Because multiple duplicates of the same bit value are interleaved the serial data stream can be sampled at the slow data rate by cards that operate at the slow data rate to facilitate inter-operability between peer communicating at different data rates.
According to another aspect of the invention, serial links are included a backplane utilized to connect cards.
According to another aspect of the invention, the psuedo-slow rate serial data stream is sampled at the fast data rate and the sampled bit values are de-multiplexed to generate duplicates of the parallel data stream.
According to another aspect of the invention, an error correction scheme is implemented at the receiver that assigns a bit value based on the maximum number of channels having the same bit value.
According to another aspect of the invention, the data streams may be two-level or multi-level.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in view of the following detailed description and appended drawings.
The invention will now be described with reference to specific embodiments by way of example not limitation. In the drawings like or similar parts in different views have the same reference number. In the following an embodiment will be described which is utilized in a router. However, it will be apparent that the invention has general utility in many other environments.
Modern routers are highly modular and include a chassis having multiple slots for inserting cards to perform selected functions. Line cards connect the router to other devices via electrical or optical media. The switch fabric, in this embodiment, includes switch-fabric cards and scheduler cards.
Each card connected to a serial link includes a SerDes unit for transforming data between serial and parallel formats. As depicted in
However, as described above, many of the line cards in the router may be legacy parts that operate at a slower data rate, in this example 1.25 Gb/sec. For example, referring to
The bit values on the first and second parallel Tx channels 42 and 44 and the serial channel 38 are depicted in
As depicted in
The operation of an embodiment of the invention is depicted in
Accordingly, the transmission of multiple duplicates of the same data to the SerDes operating at the fast data rates facilitates the generation of a data stream that can be processed by a SerDes operating at a slow data rate or a fast data rate.
Upon start up the router senses the data rate of each ASIC and configures the correct data transmission on the parallel channels to assure compatibility between ASICs operating at different data rates. For example,
The transmission of a psuedo—2.5 Gbit/sec serial channel by SerDes units that transmit at 5 Gbit/sec is implemented utilizing the technique describe above.
The technique for transmission of a psuedo—1.25 by SerDes units that transmit and receive at 5 Gbit/sec is depicted in
In general, the data rate of the serial data stream transmitted at the fast data rate can be reduced by a factor of 1/N where N is an integer divisor of the fast data rate. N duplicates of the data transmitted at the slow rate must be provided to the SerDes to be multiplexed onto the serial channel to form a psuedo—(fast clock/N) b/sec data stream. For example if the fast data rate is 5 Gbit/sec and N is 8 a psuedo—625 Mbit/sec serial data stream is transmitted. If the fast data rate is 1.875 Mb/sec and N is 3 then a psuedo—625 Mb/sec serial data stream is transmitted.
As described above, with reference to
In one embodiment, an error correction algorithm is implemented that takes advantage of the redundancy of the data stream. Because the bit value in the transmitted data stream is equal to four sample periods a voting scheme is used to determine the value of the bit. The bit voting scheme is implemented that checks the values of the sampled bits on all four channels and makes a decision based on the maximum number of channels having the same bit value. This bit value is then transmitted on all four channels.
In one embodiment the error correction scheme is implemented in a look up table (LUT). The sampled values are used to address the LUT and the value equal to the maximum value of the sampled value is output.
The invention has now been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Alternatives and substitutions will now be apparent to persons of skill in the art. In particular, the embodiments have been described in the context of a router, however, the invention is useful in any environment that requires compatibility between components operating at different data rates. Additionally, the embodiments described utilize two level signals (high and low). However, the principles of the invention are also applicable to multi-level signals, for example PAM-4 encoded signals. Accordingly, it is not intended to limit the invention except as provided by the appended claims.

My check engine light comes on/off. The vehicle is at 150XXX miles but the engine is not (new engine). Vehicle is slugish at times and needs a tune up but this would not call for the engine light coming on. Is this a preset command in the computer? How is this reset.

Sounds like a failing oxygen sensor, sometimes weak oxygen sensors will make the check engine light go on and off.

PHILADELPHIA (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — While the NFL is focusing its attention on London, American Football is making its way to another international destination.
The China American Football League plans to kick off in the world's most populous country in 2015. The announcement made Thursday comes less than a year after Philadelphia Soul co-owner Marty Judge sponsored the first American football game played in China.
The indoor CAFL is expected to begin with six to eight teams in two conferences. The franchises will be in major cities in China and include a combination of American and Chinese players.
Former Super Bowl-winning coach Dick Vermeil and former Pro Bowl quarterback Ron Jaworski partnered with Judge to help make it happen.
CAFL franchise owners will invest $10 million to start.
Three NFL games will be played in London in 2014, including a Nov. 9 game featuring the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed interest in seeing the NFL expand to London.
"London could be an expansion for the NFL. I like the idea. It adds a lot of 'wow' to the NFL."

The 22-year-old charged with a rampage through Westview Elementary School is under treatment at Moccasin Bend Psychiatric Hospital, officials said.
Aaron Roden had been set for his first court appearance on Thursday morning. Attorney Allen Dunn of the public defender's office said the hearing needed to be delayed. A status court appearance will be Sept. 23 at 1:30 p.m.
Sheriff Jim Hammond said Roden spent only a day at the County jail. He said he has been at the mental health facility for a week.
The sheriff said there have been no reports of problems with Roden at the facility. He said security is being handled by the facility, and he said no deputies are watching Roden, who is also charged with knifing a 19-year-old in the next two weeks prior to the Westview damage.
At the court appearance, Graham Winton told General Sessions Court Judge Gary Starnes that Roden had come by his house and "flipped me off" the night before the Westview incident.
Judge Starnes said Roden is under no bond and is also under an order not to have any contact with any victims or witnesses.
The arrest report said that when deputies got to Roden he was in a room at the school hanging from the rafters. He was wearing only boxer shorts.
He threw a printer at two deputies, who had to taze him to get him under control.
The first deputy at the scene of the school on East Brainerd Road said he began to check the perimeter of the school and saw someone's silhouette. He said he saw him breaking ceiling tiles and trying to kick in a door.
He said when Roden saw him he started running toward him. He said he then stopped, pulled a fire extinguisher off the wall and threw it through a glass door toward him. The deputy had to dodge the fire extinguisher.
Roden then ran down a hallway out of sight.
The deputy said he then called for backup, and units from the sheriff's office and Collegedale police arrived. Keys to get inside were provided by county maintenance.
Deputies said as they proceeded inside they heard noise at the other end of the school. They were able to trace Roden to a conference room. They said they began to beat on the door, and Roden would beat on the door back.
Deputies at first could not get the door open because Roden had moved all the furniture in front of the door. They were finally able to push their way inside.
Roden stopped swinging from the rafters, then picked up the printer and yelled at the deputies. He was tazed after he refused orders to drop to the floor. Roden fell to the floor after being tazed. The deputies were able to roll him over and handcuff him.
Roden was described as "frantic and sweating heavily." He refused to walk so the deputies had to carry him out of the room.
The deputies said they could not carry him further because he was sweating so heavily. They awaited the arrival of paramedics.
Deputies said he told them, while being prepped to be taken to Erlanger Hospital, that he had planned to do as much damage as possible at the school and then burn it down.
Authorities said the damage may have been as high as $100,000.
Parents of Roden said in an open letter that he has been troubled his whole life, but had never received adequate mental health treatment.
The school reopened on Wednesday after a cleanup that extended far into the night.
At the jail, Roden gave his address as 4111 Tennessee Ave., St. Elmo.

A recap of Wednesday night's open of AFI Docs with Alex Gibney's "Zero Days" and highlights of what's to come.
Early in their marriage, Frida Kahlo tells Diego Rivera she expects him to be "not faithful, but loyal." She holds herself to the same standard. Sexual faithfulness is a bourgeois ideal that they reject as Marxist bohemians who disdain the conventional. But passionate jealousy is not unknown to them, and both have a double standard, permitting themselves freedoms they would deny the other. During the course of "Frida," Kahlo has affairs with Leon Trotsky and Josephine Baker (not a shabby dance card), and yet rages at Diego for his infidelities.
Julie Taymor's biopic tells the story of an extraordinary life. Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), born of a German Jewish father and a Mexican mother, grew up in Mexico City at a time when it was a hotbed of exile and intrigue. As a student, she goes to see the great muralist Diego Rivera at work, boldly calls him "fat" and knows that he is the man for her.
Then she is almost mortally injured in a trolley crash that shatters her back and pierces her body with a steel rod. She was never to be free of pain again in her life and for long periods had to wear a body cast. Taymor shows a bluebird flying from Frida's hand at the moment of the crash, and later gold leaf falls on the cast: She uses the materials of magic realism to suggest how Frida was able to overcome pain with art and imagination.
Rivera was already a legend when she met him. Played by Alfred Molina in a great bearlike performance of male entitlement, he was equally gifted at art, carnal excess and self-promotion. The first time Frida sleeps with him, they are discovered by his wife, Lupe (Valeria Golino), who is enraged, of course, but such is Diego's power over women that after Frida and Diego are wed, Lupe brings them breakfast in bed ("This is his favorite. If you are here to stay, you'd better learn how to make it.") Frida's paintings often show herself, alone or with Diego, and reflect her pain and her ecstasy. They are on a smaller scale than his famous murals, and her art is overshadowed by his. His fame leads to an infamous incident, when he is hired by Nelson Rockefeller (Edward Norton) to create a mural for Rockefeller Center, and boldly includes Lenin among the figures he paints. Rockefeller commands the mural to be hammered down from the wall, thus making himself the goat in this episode forevermore.
The director, Julie Taymor, became famous for her production of "The Lion King" on Broadway, with its extraordinary merging of actors and the animals they portrayed. Her film "Titus" (1999) was a brilliant re-imaging of the Shakespeare tragedy, showing a gift for great daring visual inventions. Here, too, she breaks out of realism to suggest the fanciful colors of Frida's imagination. But real life itself is bizarre in this marriage, where the partners build houses side by side and connect them by a bridge between the top floors.
Artists talk about the "zone," that mental state when the mind, the eye, the hand and the imagination are all in the same place and they are able to lose track of time and linear thought. Frida Kahlo seems to have painted in order to seek the zone and escape pain: When she was at work, she didn't so much put the pain onto the canvas as channel it away from conscious thought and into the passion of her work. She needs to paint, not simply to "express herself" but to live at all, and this is her closest bond with Rivera.
Biopics of artists are always difficult, because the connections between life and art always seem too easy and facile. The best ones lead us back to the work itself and inspire us to sympathize with its maker. "Frida" is jammed with incident and anecdote--this was a life that ended at 46 and yet made longer lives seem underfurnished. Taymor obviously struggled with the material, as did her many writers; the screenwriters listed range from the veteran Clancy Sigal to the team of Gregory Nava and Anna Thomas, and much of the final draft was reportedly written by Norton. Sometimes we feel as if the film careens from one colorful event to another without respite, but sometimes it must have seemed to Frida Kahlo as if her life did, too.
The film opens in 1953, on the date of Frida's only one-woman show in Mexico. Her doctor tells her she is too sick to attend it, but she has her bed lifted into a flat-bed truck and carried to the gallery. This opening gesture provides Taymor with the set-up for the movie's extraordinary closing scenes, in which death itself is seen as another work of art.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
The new "Ghostbusters" film brings a battle between distorted nostalgia and the power of a child's imagination.

March 19, 2016 - We had this with grilled ribeye steaks on 3/19/16. It had a complex and subtle bouquet of black cherry, blueberry, black currant, mocha, lead pencil, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was soft round and dry with flavors of black cherry, plum, blueberry, black currant, mocha and cocoa.

February 7, 2016 - Getting pretty close to the sweet spot after only 20 minutes. Flavors of wild boysenberries initially with a good measure of white pepper, then a significant wave of (Rutherford-like) dusty notes 20 minutes in, after which it starts tapering off, softening out, and eventually loosing the alcohol/acid-body balance 90+ minutes in.
In a perfect place right now as a pop-and-pour.

Alistair Darling's still talking numbers: Former Chancellor received £33,150 for making just three speeches
Alistair Darling received £33,150 for making three speeches according to the latest register of MPs' financial interests
Alistair Darling ended 2013 in good financial shape.
According to the latest register of MPs' financial interests, the former Chancellor received £33,150 for making three speeches.
Darling reckons he spent ten hours on this work, suggesting his market worth is an impressive £3,300 per hour.
The backbench Labour MP, now in charge of the Better Together group to keep Scotland part of the UK, is viewed by some as running a lacklustre campaign.
Perhaps this year he will resist the temptation to top up his £66,000 MP's salary and focus on September's referendum.
Having survived two attempts to de-select him after the disclosure that he had a 19-month affair with his former secretary while his wife was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer, Tory MP James Gray was determined not be unseated as he joined his local hunt in the rain over the weekend.
59, and former mistress Philippa — now his wife — rode out with the
Avon Vale Hunt at South Wraxall, Wiltshire, not far from their Corsham
But former ship broker Gray somewhat lagged behind the field.
'I try to avoid jumping,' he admits.
'My cob, Kipling, is 20 years old and I am equally ancient — so we go round hedges rather than over them.'
MP, who increased his majority at the last election despite his marital
shenanigans, says the hunt failed to encounter a fox, let alone chase
'We were trail-hunting perfectly legally,' he says.
Why Titanic star Ioan Gruffudd is seeing psychologist
Must fly: Princess Beatrice at Barts airport
He was once one of Britain's brightest lights in Hollywood, bagging plum roles in such blockbusters as Titanic and Black Hawk Down.
But as Ioan Gruffudd, 40, deals with the onset of middle-age, he is also having to swallow the bitter reality that he is no longer in demand as a leading man.
In fact, so desperate have things become that the handsome Welsh-born star, who sprung to fame in the title role of ITV drama Hornblower, admits he has sought the help of a psychologist to help beat his mid-career slump.
He says: 'I'm auditioning for dozens of parts at the moment, but I'm just not getting them. I can't play someone who's 30 any more . . . maybe 35 at a push.
'My confidence has really taken a knock, and the worst thing you can do when you're feeling like that is to go to one of these auditions.
'You really don't want to come across as desperate, so I've been working with a psychologist to help me overcome all that.'
Gruffudd is married to gorgeous British actress Alice Evans, 42, whom he met at the dawn of his promising career when he was cast as the lead in the 2000 rom-com 102 Dalmatians.
The pair moved to Hollywood where Gruffudd swiftly won a role in the big-budget superhero film The Fantastic Four. But since bagging the lead as William Wilberforce in slavery epic Amazing Grace, he has been confined to largely cameo roles. He admits that the pressures of being the sole breadwinner and having to fund their four-year-old girl Ella's schooling have also started to mount up. And the couple had their second child, Elsie, in September.
He says ruefully: 'It's difficult, especially when you have to provide for your family — and, unfortunately, I'm the one shouldering all that responsibility right now.'
But he insists that he is looking forward to ageing within the industry 'like a fine wine'.
He adds: 'The older a male actor gets the better he becomes — look at Harrison Ford, he wasn't even discovered until he was in his 30s. So, I look forward to hitting my stride and growing into my future roles gracefully.'
Chemmy's got Bear in her sights
She says these will be her last Olympics, but skier Chemmy Alcott has already chosen a souvenir of her days on the slopes — a garden seat fashioned from a chairlift.
The £450 seat from Kitzbuhel, Austria, is now firmly anchored in the garden of the house Chemmy, 31, shares with fellow skier — and future husband — Dougie Crawford, 26, on the Thames near Hampton Court.

'Unfortunately our old garden seat was washed away so we needed a replacement,' says Chemmy, who is in training for next month's Winter Games at Sochi in Russia, despite recovering from her third broken leg.
fearless Chemmy is planning her post-skiing career as a TV star,
modelling herself on adventurer Bear Grylls.
'I have filmed a pilot and that got received really well,' she explains.
'It'll be about challenging myself as a female because so many of these explorers are male and it would be great for the female population to see we can do it as well.'
BBC chief Lord Hall has been telling anyone who'll listen that a priority for 2014 is to find a new arts supremo working across all media.
Surely he won't need to cast the net too wide.
A well-placed source tells me £183,000-a-year BBC Creative Director Alan Yentob fancies he is in with a chance.
'Alan turns 67 in March, and has worked at the BBC for more than 45 years, but will be pressuring for the job,' says my mole.
If successful, one silver lining would be the end of Yentob's second Beeb job presenting arts series Imagine, for which, as I revealed, he earns a second, secret salary of about £150,000.
Joan Bakewell takes on the HS2 bulldozers
As government tsar for the elderly she campaigned tirelessly for pensioners, but now, at the age of 80 Baroness Bakewell — better known as broadcaster Joan Bakewell — faces a fight much closer to home.
For she is 'absolutely appalled' that the proposed route of the controversial £50 billion HS2 rail plan, which aims to link London with the Midlands and the North, will cut a swathe through the London enclave she has lived in for 50 years.
Indeed, along with other celebrities such as TV presenter Mary Portas who live on or near one of the capital's prettiest squares in Primrose Hill, she is up in arms about the possibility that some of the area's properties could be seized under compulsory purchase orders.
Lady Bakewell is appalled the line linking London to the Midlands will cut through a swathe of the capital
Lady Bakewell tells me: 'I will be taking up the fight on behalf of my neighbours and friends.
'My house may not be affected directly, but there will be a huge encroachment and our quality of life will be destroyed.'
She is backing local historian Martin Sheppard, who is organising a public protest later this month. He says residents are facing 'a great deal of anxiety' about the scheme.
The TV presenter bought her early Victorian home in 1964 when the area was run down.
Today it is one of the most sought-after addresses in the city.
ps Out of hospital after a bout of flu, Sir Roger Moore has been musing — tongue in cheek — upon his lost youth and beauty, and especially his luxuriant locks.
The veteran Bond star says that although he has never liked watching himself on screen, he sometimes does with fourth wife Kristina when one of his shows pops up on TV.
'She makes me sit through it with her — sometimes giving a little commentary, for which I don't charge,' Moore quips.
'I occasionally surprise myself with how beautiful I was and how well I delivered a line, but generally I just feel sad at the sight of all that wonderful hair I used to have.'

I think it's worth penalizing for GIDP as well, given they're single-handedly producing the same result as a CS plus a regular out. Depends on whether you're measuring base contributions, or hitting + baserunning. If the latter, reaching on error probably should be included, too... Faster runners cause hurried throws, and all.2. smileyy Posted: December 10, 2012 at 09:06 PM (#4321401)
The precision police would probably suggest CS should be indexed based on which base was being attempted. Caught stealing 3rd erases two bases, whereas caught stealing 2nd erases just one. The bulk of CS is 2nd base, so this should be fine.
So, uh, someone figured out OPS, and was really bothered by the double-counting of batting average?3. Cooper Nielson Posted: December 10, 2012 at 09:34 PM (#4321421)
This is not a new idea, obviously, and it's not as accurate as some other metrics, but it's not bad for a garbage stat. If a kid or a new baseball fan came up with it, I would applaud.4. Betts, Bogaerts, and D Price(GGC) Posted: December 10, 2012 at 10:20 PM (#4321465)
Holy Total Average!5. phatj Posted: December 10, 2012 at 10:39 PM (#4321484)
I came up with something similar to this (though simpler) eight years ago or so, when I was just starting to learn about baseball beyond what you see on telecasts. I didn't consider steals (nor GIDP), though. It was just (TB + W)/PA, which I called Total Base Average.6. Cabbage Posted: December 10, 2012 at 10:50 PM (#4321489)

Holy Total Average!8. J.R. Wolf Posted: December 11, 2012 at 12:10 AM (#4321523)
The thing that seems to separate this from the annual rederivation of Total Average is the fact that the author isn't presenting it as something new and revolutionary; he's just messing around and having a little fun, which is all that most of us are doing with this stuff too.
Just what we needed, another garbage stat. Hey! Work on pitching and defensive stats instead!9. Best Regards, President of Comfort, Esq. Posted: December 11, 2012 at 04:02 AM (#4321585)

It certainly doesn't licky boom boom down.
Interesting that the creator wanted to ignore sacrifice flies (but still penalize RBI groundouts).11. Rickey! [quote], not [code] Posted: December 11, 2012 at 08:52 AM (#4321638)

####. This may be the best Primer post in 10 years.seconded.
as for the stat, personally, i don't think it's junk. i think that if everyone grew up with this as the predominant stat instead of OPS, we'd probably be noticeably better off. OPS double-counts batting average, yes, but it also combines two numbers with different denominators as if there's nothing wrong with doing it.
OPS is pretty ingrained in our collective psyches, but if both stats were on the main page at B-ref, i'd probably reference this one more often than OPS.
#12 If I was the stats man at B-ref I'd test whether Total Average modeled run scoring well enough to merit inclusion. It's an awful lot more work than OPS for a truly trivial gain in accuracy (as measured either by correlation with team runs scored or by RMSE). We're talking a correlation of .926 for Total Average versus .922 for OPS. And the difference in the standard error is .21 runs. (Numbers from an old Clay Davenport study. Different time frames give slight different results but the overall conclusion is basically the same.)14. i don't care what the real STIGGLES says right now Posted: December 11, 2012 at 09:53 PM (#4322532)
It's not as good as runs created (which is basically the same amount of work) for the simple reason that it over-weights stolen bases.
OPS is "good enough" for in season (particularly since it's not hard to make mental adjustments for all of the know weaknesses in the method) and has the virtue of being easy to calculate from generally available numbers.
just for shits and giggles:
by this measure ((TB + BB + HBP + SB - GIDP - CS) / (PA)), jack morris rates at .426, bert blylevin rates at .399, dave stieb at .395, dennis martinez at .424, brett saberhagen at .394, orel hershiser at .395, curt schilling at .404, and roger clemens at .389.

Submit Benchmarks!
Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GT 430 1GB vs Radeon HD 4850 512MB
IntroThe GeForce GT 430 1GB uses a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core frequency at 700 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a speed of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 96 SPUs along with 16 TAUs and 4 Rasterization Operator Units.
Compare that to the Radeon HD 4850 512MB, which makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 625 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 993 MHz on this particular card. It features 800(160x5) SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
The Radeon HD 4850 512MB should in theory be much faster than the GeForce GT 430 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 4850 512MB is much (about 123%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 430 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon HD 4850 512MB is the winner, by far. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Display Prices
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

Good 3.8 /5 from 98 reviews
Everything was great, didn't really need much service from anyone at the hotel, but I really wish the pool was kept cleaner, I know it's located near a lake- that is a great view in the moon light- but there were more bugs the second time I got in like no one had got the bugs out from the previous day.
the room was a very comfortable and very stylish.I loved the room and the customer service was the best!!!
Our stay was good. The room was clean, but not spotless. The entry way to the hotel has a strong animal odor, but the rest of the hotel smelled clean. Basic amenities in the rooms. Decent breakfast. It was convenient to the beach and casinos, less than 10 minute drive. I felt safe there. Good place for the price and convenience for traveling with our pet. We would stay here again.
towels were dirty..air conditioning was broke
Staff accommodated our request for early checkin - very helpful

Wright Words: Elderly woman sends message to the world: 'Everything happens for a reason'
We discussed a new bakery in town, her friends at the seniors' center and how much the facility and the people mean to her. We talked about books, history and our shared experiences of falling down the stairs from the second floor to the first. "Just a sprain and a bruise," she said with relief. "You?"
"I rode my plastic motorcycle down the stairs when I was 4." I pointed to the scar on the back of my head and she stifled a laugh, but not a smile.
Soon my daughters drove by and pulled over to say hello to their dad and a stranger sitting on a bench. I asked, "Would you mind if my daughter took a picture?"
My beautiful pal laughed and her eyes widened. "Without lipstick?"
Because I know an 89-year-old woman on a fixed income with no car or family nearby has few options, I insisted on giving Pelletier my cellphone number, my wife's number and my word that if she needed a ride to the doctor, the store or anywhere in between, we'd be there.
Before I left I asked this woman of a thousand stories if she would mind if I shared hers with my readers. After the predictable "no-one-wants-to read-about-me" response, she gave me three things she would want the world to know about a long life well lived.
"We should pray every morning."
"We should live each day like it's our last. You never know," she paused to watch a car pass. "You just never know."
"And last?" I wondered aloud.
"Like I said," she smiled. "Everything happens for a reason."
