At first, stealing a buffalo seems like a strange thing to do, but as Nancy and her friends investigate, they find a whole herd of suspects. Antoinette Francoeur, an eccentric animal rights activist, makes a habit of freeing caged creatures. Badger Brady, a rival buffalo rancher, has been making threats--with an ax. And some archaeologists in the area aren't happy about the girls' snooping. Now it's Nancy's turn to round up the clues and stop a buffalo thief in his tracks.

Nancy and her friends need more than book smarts to get to the bottom of a literary mystery in this fourth book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a new take on the classic series. A rash of crimes in a neighboring town--a blazing fire at a bookstore, a boat that sinks in the harbor, and a valuable dog's dognapping--are eerily similar to the plots from famous mystery writer Lacey O'Brien's popular books. So who's behind the crimes? Could it be Lacey looking for publicity? One of Lacey's superfans? Or maybe it's Paige Samuels, owner of the bookstore that burned. Nancy, Bess, and George will have to read between the lines as they dig deep into a dangerous mystery.

I knew something was wrong. But I just chalked it off as Monday. Then it hit me. Monday, Jan. 24, by some massive scientific calculation, was the most depressing day of the year. So here I sit, the day after the most depressing day, and I have yet to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Here's how it works. A British scientist devised this complex formula and mathematical equation designed to calculate the most depressing day of the year. He factors in weather, debt, monthly salary, time since Christmas, time since failed attempt at New Year's resolution, low motivation and the need to take action. Stir it all together and you come up with Jan. 24. To sweeten the pot, this year it fell on a Monday.
Don't misunderstand - this intellectual formula is not some cold weather activity. It's really a mathematical model that measures the above factors which combine to make that one special day so darned depressing. Members of the travel community use the calculation to promote trips to sunny destinations. And employers use the calculation to alert them to potential workplace concerns.
It seems that even though winter officially began Dec. 21, it takes about a month for the dark, winter clouds to have a real impact. That darkness combined with cold temperatures, post-holiday blues and the inability to fulfill those New Year's resolutions makes for a depressing time. When you press the magic button, Jan. 24 tops the list of depressing days.
Interestingly, a study found that in Britain - and you could put the USA in that same category - about a third of the population suffers from SAD, seasonal affective disorder or winter depression. And a whopping nine in 10 of us sleep and eat more in the darker months. Just a footnote, for those who live near the equator where the days are longer and the skies brighter year-round, this seasonal disorder is extremely rare. You just have to experience a Southeast Missouri winter to fully appreciate how accurate the study actually is.
As if you really needed a study of this sort, most of us understand just how depressing these dismal days can become. But now we have an actual specific day to celebrate or mourn. I should have had a party.
But unfortunately, I was too depressed to take the time to plan a party. I'll just wait until the days are longer, the skies brighter and the mathematical formula more to my liking.

ABBEVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- A company that does screen printing and embroidery for promotional products is adding 50 new jobs at its Abbeville County facility.
Pro Towels said Monday that it was investing $2.5 million in the effort. Company president Kevin Nord says the company needs to expand to meet increasing customer demand.
Pro Towels is moving to a new 300,000-square-foot Abbeville County location that will house offices, a warehouse and production facilities. The expansion is expected to be complete by the first quarter of next year.
Company officials say the expansion will triple the facility's current square footage.

Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Advisor Account
You're an at-least-semi fat cat. You think you have some Buffett in you (Warren, not Jimmy). You want to be intimately involved in managing your money. You have an X-Files "Trust No One" phone case (The 90s were cool, we get it).
So you set up an advisor account. The advisor works directly with you, the client, to figure out where you're puttin' your dough. You stay in the driver's seat and decide which investments you want in there and which ones you don't (Apple? Puh-lease—you want something more obscure than that.)
You pay for that kind of control, though—and it's usually a percentage of the assets in your account (so if you're quite a fat cat, you might have to get a little fatter to pay for it).

Hand Modeling
Hatice Bayramoglu
This tutorial will describe you how I modeled my hand model from a sketch. The method I used here is polygonal modeling. As you can see I have a hand sketch from an anotomy book and start the modeling process using the hand sketch as a blueprint, you should do the same.
Lets start with a circle which shown in the following picture. It doesn't matter what you are using for modeling (it may be a box or a cylinder).
Convert it to editable poly and Extrude. And change the parameters as you can see. Just follow the screenshots.
Select the upper and bottom polygons and delete them. Then select the border and hold down the ShiftKey and drag it.
And scale the edges so they can match the image.
Select the edges and click the Ring button.

- Conference date: 18–20 December 2012
- Location: Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya, Malaysia
Kelarai, a design for weaving, which is made up of various motifs can be produced by a variety of natural products. The main focus of the study is on Kelarai Bertam which is selected based on the firm and robust quality of the wood which was often used as the building materials of traditional houses. The objective of the study is to investigate the geometrical design in the weaving art of kelarai bertam, the stimulation of mathematical thoughts in geometrical designs and the evolution of geometrical designs in the weaving art of kelarai bertam. The research method utilized in the study was the triangulation method consisting of observation, interview and analysis. The findings revealed that quadrilateral forms and symmetrical forms such as reflection, translation, rotation and magnification were present in the weaving of kelarai bertam. The design of kelarai has undergone the process of evolution beginning from the Siku Keluang motif and has now expanded to 20 exquisite motifs. The evolution of the design and motifs resulted from the observation made upon the natives' house and wall decorations from Indonesia. In fact, geometrical concept has long been applied in the weaving art but this was not realized by the individual weaver. It is suggested that extensive research can be conducted on the combination of different weaving materials such as wild bertam and bamboo which will produce different geometrical designs such as polygon.

We love Apple's Magic Trackpad. Great device, nice design, love at first touch.
Unfortunately Apple makes it not easy for Windows users to use the Magic Trackpad on a "normal" PC (without Mac hardware).
- The Windows drivers don't install without BootCamp. Use our free Driver Installer which does the job for you.
- Even more annoying is the fact that there is no Control Panel to configure the settings of the driver options.
We finally found a way to configure the Magic Trackpad driver options.
As a result here is the Control Panel which runs independent from Apple BootCamp on any PC.

You may have heard about Detroit's urban farming movement, but the documentary Urban Roots brings it alive by getting down in the furrows with the growers who are turning the city's vacant lots into fields of abundance.
Resilient only begins to describe these determined, resourceful citizens who have seen jobs and neighbors disappear as the city depopulates. Instead of fleeing, they've stayed and begun growing vegetables. Lots of them. There is plenty of "ruin porn" about blighted Detroit, but let others focus on what's dead and dying; this movie is about what's growing here.

Potato Wine Recipe
A few years ago, I was walking past a used book store in town, and in the window was a copy of Step By Step Guide to Making Home Made Wine
by Judith Irwin. The cost of the 156 page hardcover book was only $14.99, and the book appeared to be brand new. Today, I see that the book is out of print and some book sellers are pricing this book at over $100.00US!
Personally, I don't think it is worth over $100.00, but there are some used copies available on Amazon for much less. The book doesn't have a great deal of information about winemaking however it does cover some basic steps including the subject of equipment needed for home winemaking. It is geared towards those who want to start making their own wine from a variety of fruit and vegetables in smaller one gallon batches.
The recipes and photos in the book are certainly worth more than the $14.99 I paid for it! The photography is brilliant, and the recipes and instructions are detailed. The author, Judy Irwin tried to divide the recipes up into "seasonal" sections – seasonal as far as what vegetable or fruit ingredients are available in the winter, autumn, spring and summer. However, as Jack Keller points out in his criticism of C.J.J. Berry's book, "First Steps in Winemaking
", there is no need today to organize recipes seasonally or by month. For example, Judith Irwin's book has an "Autumn" recipe for "Rice and Raisin" wine. Both rice and raisins are available in my local grocery shop year round.
But that criticism aside, it does have some very interesting wine recipes that I am going to try out. Today, I'm planning on starting a potato wine. I've modified the ingredients to make three gallons of the wine, as Irwin writes, "The maturation period is important, as this wine improves greatly with keeping. It is interesting to compare an old bottle from an old batch with one from a recent fermentation." In the paragraph above, she writes, "This wine needs at least eighteen months to two years to mature.."
If it takes that long to mature and is as good as she claims, I want more than five 750 ml bottles – the approximate yield of a gallon of wine.
Perhaps having 18 lbs. of leftover potato isn't something you can deal with and you only want to make a gallon, simply divide the ingredients by three. Being a Northern Irishman, I won't have any problems finding ways to use the potatoes after I've made the wine. I'm thinking an "Ulster Fry" for the next few days. And copious amounts of red wine to help reduce the cholesterol! On to the recipe:
Potato Wine Adapted from "A Step By Step Guide To Making Homemade Wine
18 lb old potatoes
9 lb. sugar (Irwin suggests demerara sugar for a golden wine with more flavour)
3 tsp. citric acid*
1 tsp. pectic enzyme*
3 tsp. Amalyse*
1 1/2 tsp. grape tannin
Yeast: EC-1118
Wash and scrub the unpealed potatoes and thin slicely in a large pot.
Cover the potatoes with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.
Strain off any foam.
Allow the liquid to cool and strain into sanitized primary fermenter.
Make a syrup with the sugar – heat water in a pot and add the sugar so it disolves.
Add the syrup to the primary fermenter.
Top up with water to the three gallon mark on your primary fermenter
Allow the mixture to cool before adding yeast.
When the wine's specific gravity is below 1.020 (about 7 days), rack into a three gallon carboy and attach airlock and bung.
Between days 14 and 21, rack the wine and add 1/4 teaspoon of potassium metabisulphite.
Irwin suggests that this wine be racked in another 6 months.
For my efforts to make 3 gallons, I ended up using three pots to boil and simmer the potatoes, all at once. The potatoes were completely covered with water, and when the boil began, a good amount of foam was skimmed off the top. I estimate there was just over 1.5 gallons of "potato water" that went into the fermenter. The 9 lbs of demerara sugar disolved into just under a gallon of water, heated up. I then added about a half gallon of water to bring the level up to the 3 gallon mark in my primary fermenting pail.
Using this method, the beginning Specific Gravity was 1.128. Maybe we won't have to sweeten the wine later.
* Citric acid is an organic acid. It is available at my local winemaking supplies store so it may be available where you purchase your supplies.
Pectic enzyme is used to break down pectins which are present in many fruit and vegetables, and if not dealt with, can cause a haze in your wine.
Amalyse or amylozyme is an enzyme used to break down starches. Like pectin, if starch is not dealt with, it can cause a haze in your wine. If you want to be adventurous, you could spit into the juice (seriously, don't though). Saliva contains amalyse for the same purpose – to break down starches in foods you eat.

La Anam listen (help·info) (Arabic: لا أنام, Sleepless) is a 1957 Egyptian melodrama film. The film follows the intricate story of Nadia Lutfi, a daughter of divorced parents who suffers from Electra complex, which drives her to intervene in her father's relationships.[1]
Directed by the Egyptian film director Salah Abu Seif, this film is based on a novel with the same name written by the Egyptian novelist Ihsan Abdel Quddous.[2] The film, which is currently ranked the 29th best Egyptian film by the cinema committee of the Supreme Council of Culture in Cairo,[3][4] starred Faten Hamama and Yehia Chahine, along with five other prominent Egyptian actors. It was released on DVD as part of the Egyptian Cinema Classics film collection.[5] La Anam is one of the ten first Egyptian colored films.[6]
Faten Hamama plays Nadia Lutfi, a young woman who belongs to an aristocratic, upper-class family. After her parents divorce each other, her father wins custody of her. She lives with her father (Yehia Chahine) and over the years develops a very close and strong relationship with him to the extent of being sexually attracted towards him, an obsessive behavior known as Electra complex.[4][6][7][8]
At the age of 18, she plunges into a premature relationship with Mustafah (Imad Hamdi), a writer and journalist who is quite older a bit than she is. Meanwhile, her father meets and falls in love with another woman, Safia (Myriam Fakhr Eddine). He decides to marry her, which Nadia is forced to accept. However, her father gradually starts spending more time with his new wife, which galls and displeases Nadia who does not receive an equal amount of love and attention anymore. This compels and drives her to step in and ruin their relationship. Now seeing Safia as her enemy, Nadia plots for revenge from her stepmother. Nadia accuses Safia of having an affair with Aziz (Omar Sharif), Nadia's young uncle.[4][6][7]
To convince her father, Nadia had to ask her friend Kawthar (Hind Rostom), a voluptuous and licentious woman, to seduce her father. Nadia's successful conspiracy results in a divorce between Safia and her father. Not only that, Nadia's father decides to marry her. Enticed by the wealth of Nadia's father, she agrees to marry him. Nadia is devastated when she discovers that Kawthar is having an affair with another young man, Samir (Rushdy Abaza), realizing that Kawthar is only living with her father for his fortunes.[4][6][7]
Mustafah, who had secretly admired Safia, proposed to her after her divorce with Nadia's father. Nadia conceals the truth from her father, worried that such a revelation might strike and shatter him. Her father finds about Samir. Nadia, finding no escape route, lies and tells her father that he is her fiancé. Kawthar nefariously adds that Nadia and Samir are getting married, which Nadia is forced to accept. On the night of her wedding, Nadia shocks her father and the wedding attendants with the startling truth, leaving her father traumatized.[4][6]

La Anam premiered at the Cinema Miami theater in Cairo on November 31[dubious ], 1957[4] and was met with a lot of success and recognition in Egypt and the Arab-speaking world. This was mainly due to the star-studded cast and the fact that it was one of the earliest colored Egyptian films. The film has maintained its popularity and has been selected amongst the best Egyptian films in 1996 by the Egyptian Film association.[4] However, due to its controversial topic, it wasn't frequently broadcast on television.[9]

MAA was an official partner of the inaugural USA Science & Engineering Festival, which occurred in the Washington, D.C., area in October 2010. Billed as the country's first national science festival, the event gave more than 500 science, engineering, and mathematics organizations a chance to spark the interest of a new generation of young people in the sciences.
People across the U.S. held satellite events in their communities the same weekend that hundreds of thousands of people celebrate science on the National Mall.
MAA nominee S. Brent Morris was chosen as a member of the Festival's Nifty Fifty, a group of noted professionals who spoke about their work and careers at various middle and high schools in the Washington, D.C., area. Morris presented "In Search of the 'Perfect Shuffle' – Teaching Math Students through Card Tricks." He is the author of the book Magic Tricks, Card Shuffling, and Dynamic Computer Memories: The Mathematics of the Perfect Shuffle (MAA, 1998).
The culmination of the Festival was a two-day Expo on the National Mall on Oct. 23-24, 2010. Visitors had the opportunity to explore all facets of science, mathematics, and engineering through hundreds of fun, hands-on activities.
The MAA exhibit, under the banner "Math Is Everywhere," featured Euler square puzzles, origami constructions of hyperbolic parabaloids (example here), and an interactive quiz based on the AMC 8 contest. D.C.-area student volunteers and The Mathematical Tourist were on hand at the exhibit to guide visitors through fun math-activities and distribute MAA's Field Guide to Math on the National Mall (featured in the October/November 2010 issue of MAA FOCUS). Vistors carrying the Festival's "Official Passport" got a special MAA icosahedron stamp. Other math-related exhibits during the Expo are listed below.
The world around us is rich with mathematical wonder. The MAA has developed a field guide to highlight the mathematical aspects of a dozen sights at or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Sentencings Of Vick and Black Set For Today
While some of you — like New Orleans lawyer and Law Blog Bow Tie Club member Jim Garner — are gearing up for tonight's Saints-Falcons game, we're pre-gaming the sentencing of Michael Vick. The former Falcons QB is set to be sentenced today for his role in a dogfighting scheme. He entered prison voluntarily three weeks ago. Here's a USA Today story.
Someone who won't be entering prison voluntarily — fallen media baron Conrad Black, who is also set to be sentenced today for looting millions from his former company Hollinger International. The Canadian press is pre-gaming this big time — click here for the Globe and Mail and here for the National Post.
A jury found Black guilty in July. Since then, he has loudly maintained his innocence. And today he won't be offering any apologies for his alleged conduct, his lawyer Jeffrey Steinback, told the Globe and Mail:
"Were Conrad to come up to the podium and suddenly say he was sorry and apologize for any misconduct in which he may have engaged, would anybody take that as sincere in light of the trial and his positions thereafter and the positions he's going to take on appeal? . . . Is it a more principled or less principled thing, if you truly believe that you are innocent, to nonetheless feign a certain level of insincere remorse simply to curry favour? Or is it more principled to adhere to your protestations of innocence?"
Principled perhaps, but it might not serve him well in the eyes of Law Blog All-Name team member Judge Amy St. Eve, who is set to sentence Black and three others today (including two lawyers, Mark Kipnis and Peter Atkinson). Prosecutors are using his lack of contrition as one of the reasons why he should serve 19 to 24 years in prison. In filings, they said his "complete failure to recognize the illegality of his actions" demonstrates he could break the law again.
Black's defense team say Black and the others should spend only a few months to few years in jail, if any time at all, describing their conduct as "simple thefts." "To put it simply, this case is not Enron or WorldCom," they said in a court filing. "There was no second set of books, no hidden or offshore accounts, and no false entities hiding complicated financial fraud . . . . The defendants literally are charged with having written cheques to themselves from the company coffers."
Last week, Black told the CBC: "Prison would be a bore, but quite endurable. . . . I can get on with anyone and adjust to almost anything, and I don't consider [prison] shaming."

As budgets continue to tighten, School District 51 is finding ways to loosen its wallet when it comes to energy costs, saving tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
New lights, new duct work, new boilers -- School District 51 says it's all part of ongoing efforts to make our schools more energy efficient.
"We want to make sure that as many of those dollars that we're allowed to spend on behalf of the public are going back into the classroom," says Eric Anderson, resource conservation manager for School District 51.
And Anderson says it's working. At the start of the school year, he says the District thought it would be shelling out $500,000 more for electricity than it paid last year. But thanks to their efficiency efforts, they'll only be paying an additional $50,000.
"It's about a fourteen percent drop in our overall energy use district wide," says Anderson.
Anderson says the secret to their success is two fold. First, doing the simple things like turning off lights and putting mechanical systems on a schedule so they're only on when they need to be.
"Those have really been the primary drivers of our results this year," says Anderson.
Then there's a three phase plan to improve and upgrade energy systems in all of the District's schools. Officials say phase one of that plan is just about finished and has involved retrofitting or replacing nearly 28,000 lights, and installing more efficient boilers, rooftop A/C units, and duct work at Grand Junction High School.
"We do want to save energy but we also want to be sure that we're improving our environments for our students," says Anderson.
The District says the resulting energy savings will pay for the entire cost of the plan. But officials say that's still not enough -- long term, they want to be certified as an Energy Star district.
"I believe the Mesa County School District can be one of the most, if not the most efficient school district in the state," says Anderson.
With four schools already certified and 29 eligible for an Energy Star rating, they say they're on the right path -- paving the way for a greener district that will save green for years to come.
District officials are projecting total energy costs for this school year will come in under the $3.5 million budgeted for them.

Where the Pilgrims Lived, Megaprojects Now Loom
By SUSAN DIESENHOUSE
Published: September 3, 2000
PLYMOUTH, Mass.— FOR 340 years after the Pilgrims settled here, Plymouth and its neighbors in southeast Massachusetts grew very slowly. Then in 30 years, from 1960 to 1990, the population of this 103-square-mile town, the state's largest municipality and still a sizable slice of cranberry growing country, tripled.
Better transportation, good schools, lots of land, reasonable prices and proximity to the jobs in Boston and its beltways attracted families seeking single-family houses in traditional subdivisions.
While eager for growth, this town of 50,000 residents and its neighbors in the still rural region began feeling overwhelmed and took various planning measures to deal with the rapid expansion. But that boom seems modest compared to what is coming: megaprojects.
In Plymouth, construction is under way on a 3,000-acre mixed-use project with almost 3,000 luxury houses that will be the town's biggest development so far. That project, called Pinehills, will in turn be dwarfed by another being planned by the A. D. Makepeace Company, a major cranberry grower. The company has filed preliminary plans for tract subdivisions that could contain 3,000 to 7,000 houses on 9,600 acres spanning Plymouth, Carver and Wareham.
The megaprojects have brought worries for these communities.
''The towns are scared to death of losing their open space and having a demand for services -- schools, water, sewer and fire protection -- they can't provide,'' said John Lenox, the town planner here. ''So they've enacted building caps, moratoriums; increased minimum lot sizes; or overencouraged commercial development, all of which consumes twice as much open space.''
While Plymouth has a full-time government and a professional town planner able to promulgate sophisticated zoning, its small neighbors have only part-time officials, explained Steven Smith, executive director of the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District, a federally financed agency working with all of the towns and developers.
''The region isn't prepared for the growth that's coming,'' he said. ''Most of the zoning doesn't give the towns or developers much choice other than large-lot, single-family subdivisions that spread all over the hills.''
Basically, Mr. Smith and others worry that the 51 towns from Duxbury (about 30 miles south of Boston) to Westport (just shy of the Rhode Island border) will not have the tax base to deliver resident services or the regulations to prevent the still sparsely settled hills, bogs and beaches from being plowed under or polluted.
Part of the growing attraction of this area is that it is one of few regions in eastern Massachusetts with moderately priced single-family houses. The average selling price in Plymouth this summer was $204,682. In Boston it was $823,000 for a house of fewer than 2,400 square feet; for a larger house, it was $1.4 million, said Debra Taylor, owner of Link, a real estate information service in Boston.
BUYERS like Michael Bash found both more house and a country way of life in Plymouth that is not available closer to his Boston-based cleaning company. Last fall Mr. Bash; his wife, Ellen; and their two daughters moved into a 2,800-square-foot four-bedroom house in Harrison Woods. This 32-lot subdivision, deftly tucked into a wooded 125-acre site, has a private 22-acre pond good for swimming, fishing and kayaking. House prices range from about $300,000 to $400,000, said Vivian Mulligan, who with her husband, Patrick, is the developer.
''Plymouth has breathing room,'' said Mr. Bash, who moved here from Hull, a tightly packed beach resort just south of Boston, where he had lived for 40 years. ''You have your privacy and nice neighbors, excellent schools, more house for your money. And the extra commute isn't much.''
Mulligan Homes bought the site, a former Boy Scout camp, in 1997 and started construction the next year. The first buyers moved in last year. Now 20 homes are occupied, six more are being built and the Mulligans are holding the last six lots as an investment. They expect to complete construction of the 26 homes and the surrounding roads by mid-2001.
For decades, Harrison Woods and similar subdivisions have fed the growth here. Now a new era of larger-scale development is dawning as construction on the $1 billion Pinehills proceeds.
Three years of planning will result in 2,854 attached and detached houses priced from about $300,000 to more than $1 million. The houses will be in clusters, and the 3,037-acre forested site will include about 2,000 acres of open space offering residents -- mostly empty nesters and retirees -- panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay, woods and four golf courses.
The developer, Pinehills L.L.C., has construction financing from the Fleet National Bank division of the FleetBoston Financial Corporation.
So far, it has built one mile of roads with underground utilities, a private well, a 7,400-square-foot office building called the Summerhouse and seven model homes set for completion in October, when marketing will begin. Of four golf courses planned, two are in construction along with a village center, which will have 1.3 million square feet of commercial space: a hotel, conference center, retail and offices. The land planner is Sasaki Associates of Watertown, Mass.

Asus Crosshair IV Extreme
CPU Performance
Published: 30th September 2010 | Source: Asus | Price: ~£250 |
CPU Performance
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC.
CPU Arithmetic
The CPU arithmetic test ascertains the processor's capabilities in terms of numerical operations. Two subtests named Dhrystone and Whetstone are carried out respectively. This is not a measure of latency and thus higher is better.
Unsurprisingly, the Crosshair IV Extreme commences our testing with scores that nicely match the Crosshair IV Formula and the recently reviewed 870A Fuzion PE. As the man responsible for testing almost all of OC3D's Socket AM3 motherboards, let me assure you that these results are exactly as expected.
CPU Multimedia
The CPU Multimedia Test focuses on CPU based operations that may occur during multimedia based tasks. The magnitude of the score depends on the processor's ability to handle Integer, Float and Double data types
Once again a similar story with CPU Multimedia. Strong gains are shown by our overclock in the region of 4.00GHz.
CPU Queen
CPU Queen is based on branch prediction and the misprediction penalties that are involved.
Everest's CPU benchmark suite usually tends to offer similar outcomes. The Queen benchmark also shows a level set of results.
CPU Photoworxx
PhotoWorxx as the name may suggest tests processors by means of invoking functions that are common to Photo Manipulation including Fill, Flip, Crop, Rotate, Difference and Colour to B&W conversion.
Photoworxx performance has a tendency to fluctuate and so its often required to repeat the benchmark quite a lot to determine concordant results. Regardless, the CH4 Extreme appears to take a fair lead over the rest, while the MSI 870A holds its unusually low score.
CPU ZLib
This is an integer based benchmark that will test the CPU and Memory by means of the CPU ZLib compression library.
Equality is restored with the ZLib test. This is a particularly important test due to its operations having similarities with the likes of WinRAR.

man i realy wished this performed better its a shame thoQuote
I mean sure, if you are a gadget freak then it may appeal to you, but the bottom line on a board of this cost is function. Function should come over form as it does with the MSI.
Yet it wasn't even able to match the MSI's bottom line function.
So all of the stick on tat does very little if it is being compared to what I would call a budget board.
It was the same with my CHII ROG. Loads of stupid tat (The LED poster for one) that was fun for about five minutes and then got old fast. The only thing I really liked on that board that explained away the premium price was the cmos reset on the IO shield - that was bloody marvellous. But the rest? I ended up disconnecting the LED poster after about six boots never to use it again.
And then I got my M3A32 deluxe wifi which was also a very expensive board, yet doesn't have any silly bits on and has far more to offer in the way of function.
Again I suppose Asus are going to cater to many people with this board, but what with this, the Ares, the Mars II (if it ever comes along) and that add in board previewed today I just worry sometimes that they are being a bit over indulgent and started to fritter away their successes on stupid stuff.
It's all starting to seem a little... How do you say it?... EVGA.
Sorry if I sound harsh or pessimistic, I am only thinking aloud. But I think this time MSI have shown that stuff like this and EVGA boards are all rather pointless.
Thanks ever so much as ever for the reviews guys. Quote
Great review, shame about the price. The formula looks like the best option for those needing multi GPU lanes or the MSI for rampant overclockers.Quote
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this board has taken a LONG time to come to market, and in the previews we've actually seen various heatsink designs fitted. Why oh why did they decide that this one was the best? Looking at how it's put together, I'm almost certain a better heatsink would deal with things much more effectively anyway. Perhaps they could have bundled an add-on fan for low airflow environments (read watercooling etc) that wasn't as small any whiny and above all, not necessary for most.
The performance also seems a bit of a let down for such an expensive piece of kit. You talk about it perhaps being good for extreme overclockers, but if you look at all the features on this board, perhaps it's not aimed at them, but more at the feature nuts who want to control their board with bluetooth and run mixed cards just because they can. Some of the sentiments in this thread seem to be that the RoG boards are almost gimmicky and don't have the performance to match, especially the AMD ones. There must be an element of truth in that.
Speaking of AMD, the only massive advantage this board has is SLI I would think. You could change to a hex core and run your 460 SLI etc if you wanted to. It does seem AMD have made some headway to Intel on the CPU front, but they're still not there yet. I think you may be right that they're not extracting everything from the multi-gpu setup, but the reason is unclear. Hopefully it is just drivers as you say. I guess we'll see as the Lucid chips mature. You can't ignore the major selling point for AMD kit though. You get most of the performance and all the high end features you want for a fraction of the price. It's nice to have a top end board to play with (I have the Crosshair III Forumula) rather than a run of the mill. Still, I understand that's not everybody's cup of tea, but it makes extreme overclocking with all the bells and whistles (and bluetooth overclocking!) a bit more accessible.
Disappointed that after a massive wait this board is a bit of a flop? Yes. Would I still like to play with it and clock the nuts off my AM3 chip with my phone? Almost certainly!Quote

I've not tried it (obviously) but there are videos doing the rounds on Youtube ETC.
Just in the process of watching your video Tom..
I think the difference with the results over the P55 and the AMD set is the bios. Well, not strictly the bioses but the drivers communicating with the ports.
The P55 (IIRC) already allows SLI and Crossfire.. Let me check that... Yes it would seem it does. And maybe this has made it easier to integrate the Lucid chip into those boards?
Moving onto your MSI comment about how it was faster? Well, MSI have more experience with the Lucid IMO. Thus they know how to integrate it better and how to work their bios possibly? Where as Asus have never tried it before?
Things could well improve with bios updates....
I do really appreciate your honesty over it all. Most would get all excited and say how wonderful it was, but this is very misleading and can cause people to waste money. What I really respect from you guys is the fact that Asus are good to OC3D and supply us with some of the most droolworthy items, yet, there is no favoritism when reviewing their products.
I also really appreciate how you have demonstrated just how much bum that fan sucks. Most wouldn't give a crap about that noise, but times are a changing and that noise is just not acceptable any more. I know a good few people who bought the EVGA 790i board and that too had a woefully loud and obnoxious northbridge fan. The workaround was to cable tie a 92mm fan on to quieten it down, yet, not a single review mentioned this. It seems that some people think that just because a product is expensive and top of the range that it can be loud and no one should care. Olbocks !
*Hi Emma !*
Once again I appreciate your videos, your honesty and this site's integrity on being truthful and honest !
I mean, it is obviously down to the drivers, as it could be that the drivers need to be completely and utterly different to do what they do on an ATI/AMD set. Communciation between the lanes is handled by the bios at a low level IIRC via the northbridge so it may take Lucid/Hydra time to sort this out. Or, it could even be the actual bios itself?
But yes, those scores look utterly cack.Quote
I don't see the difference in price between the formula and extreme though. With all the extras I could understand £50, but £100 is excessive really.Quote
It greatly leaves me questioning the worthiness of even the Formula as it has overheating problems on the north bridge. With all the hype everything has now come to a grinding halt and fallen flat on it's face.
Why on earth did they not stick with some of the early passive heatsinKS which looked far better and were dead silent to boot.
Oh The decisions!Quote
I officially feel cheated and let down greatly by ASUS

And what the heck is the deal with lucid working better with intel, jesus... Quote
Long story short, the fan is not a necessity. While previous ROG packages offered an optional bolt on fan, the Extreme has one prefitted on the grounds of space saving. The fan is orientated towards those who run their systems under conditions with minimal case airflow (i.e.- open test bench and/or watercooled). It is only fair that we mention the reasoning behind the fan implementation, but our personal opinions remain unchanged.Quote

For men and women of all athletic abilities!
As the demand for Special Operations military forces has grown over the last decade, elite trainer Mark Lauren has been at the front lines of preparing nearly one thousand soldiers, getting them lean and strong in record time. Now, for regular Joes and Janes, he shares the secret to his amazingly effective regimen—simple exercises that require nothing more than the resistance of your own bodyweight to help you reach the pinnacle of fitness and look better than ever before.
Armed with Mark Lauren's motivation techniques, expert training, and nutrition advice, you'll see rapid results by working out just thirty minutes a day, four times a week—whether in your living room, yard, garage, hotel room, or office. Lauren's exercises build more metabolism-enhancing muscle than weightlifting, burn more fat than aerobics, and are safer than both, since bodyweight exercises develop balance and stability and therefore help prevent injuries. Choose your workout level—Basic, 1st Class, Master Class,and Chief Class—and get started, following the clear instructions for 125 exercises that work every muscle from your neck to your ankles. Forget about gym memberships, free weights, and infomercial contraptions. They are all poor substitutes for the world's most advanced fitness machine, the one thing you are never without: your own body.

What is literary translation?
Traditionally, Literary Translation is one of four broad categories of translation, the other three being Interpreting, Scientific and Technical Translation and Commercial/Business Translation; there are also a number of special fields such as Legal Translation. Literary Translation is not confined to the translation of great literature. When the Copyright Act refers to 'literary works' it places no limitations on their style or quality. All kinds of books, plays, poems, short stories and other writings are covered, including such items as a collection of jokes, the script of a documentary, a travel guide, a science textbook and an opera libretto.
How do I Become a Literary Translator?
What qualifications are required?
It is possible to be a translator without holding any formal qualifications. Some translators develop their skills naturally through having a bilingual family background or having lived for long periods in different countries. However, there is no doubt that a formal university education in Modern Languages is helpful, especially if it includes classes in Translation. There are courses and workshops designed to improve translation techniques and these may be useful even though there is no guarantee that after attending such a course the translator will actually obtain commissions. People with qualifications in addition to Language diplomas often find they are in great demand. For example, a publisher who wants someone to translate a book on Genetic Engineering may be keen to commission a translator with a degree in Biology.
Where can I find information on university courses in translation?
Many UK universities offer undergraduate and post-graduate courses in translation. To find current information about the courses available in your area, contact the Careers Advice Service.
What qualities are required in a literary translator?
According to experienced members of the Translators Association:
- 1) The translator needs to have a feeling for language and a fascination with it.
- 2) The translator must have an intimate knowledge of the source language and of the regional culture and literature as well as a reasonable knowledge of any special subject that is dealt with in the work that is being translated.
- 3) The translator should be familiar with the original author's other work.
- 4) The translator must be a skilled and creative writer in the target language (i.e. the language into which the translation is made) and nearly always will be a native speaker of it.
- 5) The translator should be capable of moving from one style to another in the language when translating different works.
- 6) The aim of the translator should be to convey the meaning of the original work, as opposed to producing a mere accurate rendering of the words.
- 7) The translator should be able to produce a text that reads well, while echoing the style and tone of the original - as if the original author were writing in the target language.
Can I make a career as a freelance translator?
Almost without exception, translators of books, plays etc. work on a freelance basis. In most cases they do not translate the whole of a foreign language work 'on spec': they go ahead with the translation only after a publisher/production company has undertaken to issue/perform the translation and has signed an agreement commissioning the work and specifying payment. As in all freelance occupations, it is not easy for the beginner to ensure a constant flow of commissions. Some may earn the equivalent of a full salary from literary translation alone, but many literary translators may have another source of income, for example: from language teaching or an academic post; they may combine translating with running a home; they may write books themselves as well as translating other authors' work; or they may be registered with a translation agency and accept shorter (and possibly more lucrative) commercial items between longer stretches of literary translation.
How do I make a proposal to a publisher?
As you may know, literary translation is not an easy profession to break into, and a relatively small number of the books published in this country are translations (somewhere around 3%). However, for the beginner, the usual method of obtaining commissions is to send a letter and a short sample translation to selected publishers, letting them know that the translator is seeking commissions. Details of British publishers are to be found in regularly updated publications such as The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook (A & C Black). If possible, write to a named person.
Opportunities may also arise at or shortly after some of the large book fairs, such as the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Bologna Children's Book Fair where publishers and literary agents are busily engaged in buying and selling translation rights.
Here are some suggestions for presenting a sample to a publisher:
- First, ascertain whether the translation rights are available, and whether the rights owner is willing to authorise you to approach potential publishers
- Identify potential publishers and write to a named person
- Be professional in your approach
- In your covering letter, describe the book and explain why you are enthusiastic about it, and why you think it is appropriate for that publisher. Include a sample translation – the first chapter, perhaps – enough to give a flavour of the book. Give the publisher some facts and figures – how many words/pages is the book? What were its sales figures in the country of publication? Can you include any press cuttings? And don't forget your resume.
- The publisher's decision may be affected by the length of the book, the cost of the translation, the skill of the translator, whether the country of origin is 'fashionable', whether the editor needs to rely on an outside reader… and whether they will be able to convince their colleagues that the book is worth the risk.
- If you don't receive a response within 6 weeks, it is worth following up with a phone call.
What grants, bursaries and prizes are available?
There are very few grants payable direct to translators. For up to date information about bursaries abroad, it may be worth contacting the Cultural Attaché of the relevant embassy or bodies such as the Institut Français or the Goethe-Institut. Arts Council England (and Scotland) gives grants directly to publishers towards the cost of producing translations under its Grants for the Arts scheme, and English PEN's Writers in Translation programme supports new books being published for the first time in English translation, which have a clear link to the PEN Charter.
There are numerous prizes for published and unpublished translations of poetry and prose, including:
The Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize
The Times Stephen Spender Prize for Poetry Translation
The Corneliu M Popescu Prize for Poetry in Translation
The John Dryden Translation Competition
What is the translator's relationship to the author?
Usually, a publisher/theatre/broadcasting organisation decides that it wants to publish/produce a translation, and sign a contract with the owner of the original work. Then it signs a contract with the translator. The translator should bear in mind that usually the author/rights owner has accepted a lower advance payment and lower royalties on the translated edition than on the original edition of the work in his/her own country. Often the author receives a lower royalty on sales of a translated book in the UK than on sales of the work in its original language, and likewise on a theatre production.
The author may also have forgone part of his/her share of secondary rights, e.g. of the proceeds from the sale of American rights. This means that some or all of the payment received by the translator is money that might otherwise have been paid to the original author: i.e. to that extent, the author is the person who, indirectly, bears the cost of the translation. Clearly it would be unfair if the translator did not receive from the publisher the share of the royalties that the author/rights owner believed to have been allocated towards the translation costs.
On rare occasions the foreign author of a work is so keen to see it translated that he/she will offer to pay the translation costs directly. In these cases the author and the translator should be conscious that translating the text does not guarantee that the translation will be published. There should be a written contract between the author and the translator, clarifying the rights of each party and how the proceeds are to be divided if, subsequently, a publisher is prepared to issue the translation.
Are translated works protected by copyright?
As a trade, Literary Translation operates within the framework of copyright law. An article about the UK Copyright Act can be found in The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, published annually by A & C Black. Under the Act, a translation is an adaptation of the original foreign language work, so the translator must ensure that the owner's permission has been obtained before starting work.
It is a golden rule that a translation must be faithful to the original work but translating is still a creative process. There is a popular misconception that translating a text from one language into another is a mechanical exercise - a matter of straight conversion or even copying, yet if two translators are given the same source text, the result may be two quite different but equally valid versions in the target language. In the theatre too, we are used to seeing a succession of new translations of classic plays, proving that each translator creates something original that is specially made to 'speak' to a particular audience.
The law recognises this 'original' nature of a translation and affords copyright protection to the translation, separate from the copyright protection to which the original foreign work is entitled and also separate from the protection of someone else's translation of the same work. The translator's 'moral rights' are also protected: a translation cannot be used in a derogatory way and if the translator wishes, it must carry the translator's name when it is published. In European countries, copyright protection generally lasts until the end of the seventieth year after the death of the translator.
I would like to find work with a translation agency – can you help?
Unfortunately we are not able to help translators find work, and we do not have details of translation agencies – or their requirements. The Association of Translation Companies represents the interests of translation companies and contact details for its members are listed on the website. Working for an agency, or getting a staff job as a translator, are both good routes into the profession. Many who belong to the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI) work in this way, and their website has helpful information for those starting out.

If you get a chance, dont miss a lunch high above Cortina at Capanna Tondi on Monte Faloria (0436-5775). They serve excellent full-service meals in a chalet setting at 7,677 feet with wide views of the town and surrounding mountains. Call for reservations, especially on weekends. The same family has been running this refuge for more than half a century. The current proprietess, Signora Rosie, is a striking blond bundle of energy who ensures every detail is handled perfectly. The dining room is built with wrought iron and wood brought from Austria, then carried up the mountain on mule back and assembled before anyone dreamed of a cable car lift. A full meal here with wine, starter, main course and dessert will run about €30€35. The view is priceless.
Just below the Tondi is another less intimate, more modern mountain restaurant with self service as well as regular service. It is frequented by tour groups since it is right at the top of the Faloria lift from Cortina.
Another excellent mountain lunch accessible by virtually every skier is the Rifugio Scotoni on the Lagazuoi-Armentarola trail. Head there for excellent grilled meats, raclette and local specialties.
The following restaurants, recommended by several local residents, have excellent food. Expect to pay around €13€15 in a pizzeria and up to €60 in the top restaurant, including house wine.
Tivoli, Lacedel 34; (0436-866400). Overlooking Cortina, and rated as one of the best in town with prizewinning, home-made tortelli di patate. Try the deer and other mountain specialties. This is the only Michelin-star restaurant in town. Call before coming to the resort for reservations. Closed Monday.
El Toulá, Ronco 123; (0436-3339). A once-upon-a-time hayloft converted to cozy restaurant boasts three Michelin forks (not quite a star). It is considered one of the most chi-chi restaurants in town. Hence, it is expensive, very expensivethis restaurant will push the €60 price if the meal has starter, first and second course and dessert with wine. Closed Monday.
The Petite Fleur (0436-3261) in the basement of Hotel Ancora has wonderful gourmet local Cortina fare (Cucina Ampezzana) in a small elegant room.
Lago Ghedina (0436-860876) has a great setting on the lake and good food but you need a car to get there.
Da Beppe Sello (0436-3236; photo above) One of the best. Must have a car or take a taxi and it is expensive. Another two-fork Michelin spot.
Baita Fraina; Fraina, 1; (0436-3634). Hard to get to but very worth it. Michelin gives this place two forks. Closed Monday.
Lago Scin; At Lago Scin; (0436-2391) is another Michelin recommended restaurant with two forks. Closed Wednesday.
Siesta has simple homemade food (cucina casalinga) with medium prices.
Mezcal (0436-866283) Here you find Mexican food in the center of town at affordable prices where the food is served with Latin spirit. They dance on the tables until the wee hours.
Ristorante Amadeus, Verocai 73; (0436-867450) serves affordable meals with a fixed-price menu of €25 including house wine on Thursday and Friday evenings. Closed Tuesday.
Ra Stua, Via Grohmann 2; (0436-868341; photo left). Great ambiance, good food. Closed Wednesday.
El Zoco, Cadamai, 18; (0436-860041) gets good reviews. Closed Monday.
For pizza try Al Ponte, Croda Caffé, Corso Italia, 163 (0436-866589, closed Tuesday); Cinque Torre, Via Stazione, 3 (0436-866301 closed Thursday) or Da Pino that is a very elegant pizzeria with prices to match.
