Powerful CAE software solution is driving productivity gains
> Powerful CAE software solution is driving productivity gains
21st December 2011
EPLAN Competence Center Rittal Ltd
Posted By :
ES Admin
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) software is the designer´s best friend, a tool proven to enhance the user´s productivity
It has liberated engineers from the most tedious aspects of their jobs, shortened project
turnaround times and improved the quality and accuracy of their work. Today´s advanced electrical CAE
(E-CAE) programs have automated many tasks, such as wire numbering and device tagging. Engineers are completing assignments that once took days or weeks in a fraction of the time. The latest generation of CAE programs such as EPLAN adds a powerful central database that enables them to provide substantial additional automation. This database can hold a large archive of recurrent content, ready for insertion into a project with a single keystroke. Engineers can convert project documentation into different languages or regional, national and international standards. This makes the database-centric CAE wellsuited for cross-country and cross-border collaborations or for serving a multinational customer base.
The database-centric CAE solution EPLAN can make every phase of a job, from design through production, more efficient or cost-effective with gains that include the following.
Improving Accuracy
The database-driven CAE delivers a systematic reduction of errors, error-checking and data redundancy.
Few, if any, errors survive to the manufacturing stage or beyond, where they´re significantly more costly to fix.
Leveraging Recurrent Content
Storing and reusing data opens the way to standardizing and modularizing product content. This accelerates design and manufacturing, and enables large economies of scale in purchasing components.
The benefits of standardization are so great that some companies redesign existing models to maximize
standard content so design and manufacturing for subsequent orders take less time. Others invest
considerable resources creating large content archives as part of their transition to a database-driven CAE. The archive can store frequently used components or complex macros of product assemblies and
subassemblies, all pre-validated.
Creating Efficiencies
The database can be integrated into a company´s IT architecture, allowing other departments to monitor a project´s progress for more accurate customer quotes, more timely and cost-effective stocking of components, and more reliable production and delivery scheduling.
Streamlining Interaction with Stakeholders
Project files can be exported to customers and re-imported with changes to speed up revisions and
approvals. They also can be exported to subcontractors to shorten delivery times. Engineers can import
component data directly from vendor catalogues.
3D Prototyping
Merging data with 3D modeling software lets engineers create virtual prototypes to prove a design before manufacturing. Mechatronic engineering requires smooth connectivity between mechanical engineering and all other engineering disciplines.
Superior Machine Setups
Automated setups of wire processing and enclosure manufacturing machines turn around orders faster, and with precise results.
Interdisciplinary Design as Needed
Most CAE systems are discipline specific. The EPLAN Platform with its integrated product platform supports design software for electrical as well as other engineering disciplines. In effect, the EPLAN Platform becomes a powerful multidisciplinary platform. Traditionally, engineering disciplines work separately, often with different software tools, passing a project back and forth as content is added or changed. When a process engineer adds a pneumatic-controlled butterfly valve to a design, the fluid engineer must add the fluid drive and the electrical engineer must provide control for it. Working separately, each designer´s intent is self-referencing, and colleagues might not understand it. If those same engineers work together on a project as part of a multidisciplinary team and use the integrated product platform of EPLAN, they get greater speed and accuracy and a high degree of assurance their contributions fit well together. Data is shared across all disciplines. As changes are made, the system makes updates automatically wherever those changes occur or otherwise affect the project. In addition, revisions management has been streamlined.
Maximum speed and easy search and find of component data
EPLAN´s innovation for up-to-date component data accessibility is the Data Portal, a single-source
web-based library of certified parts data from the world´s leading manufacturers. It lets engineers import component data directly into projects. The data is always current, tested and verified free of errors. Users no longer need to leaf through multiple vendor catalogs to search for the right parts - another low-value use of an engineer´s time. More than 40 manufacturers with in total more than 180.000 devices are included and frequently used by engineers with more than nine million downloads so far.
Quality Improvements in Maintenance Engineering
Traditionally, the process of obtaining customer revisions and applying them is prone to delay, which can
disrupt production schedules. With modern CAE systems like EPLAN, project documentation can be
exported to customers in formats such as smart PDFs, and their changes are reimported and incorporated automatically. Once a design is finalized, the CAE automatically generates a complete build package for manufacturing that includes all diagrams, lists and component IDs, and if desired, automated setups for NC machining and wire processing. The maintenance technician in the field similarly is empowered. Product data typically is available in multiple electronic formats, suitable for continuous updating. Engineers can access project PDFs on a laptop or tablet for quick and mobile troubleshooting and resolution. The EPLAN viewing tool can be connected to the visualization tool running in the control room. That´s a far cry from arriving at a customer location to find the machine´s printed manual missing, damaged or hopelessly out of date.
Fostering international collaboration
Corporations with multiple locations around the world often end up using different design tools due to
decentralization of engineering operations. Replacing various legacy systems with a single advanced CAE solution like EPLAN enables seamless data transfers and real-time collaboration by teams that are
geographically separated, resulting in a more efficient use of a company´s human and software assets.
EPLAN transcends geography and language barriers by automatically converting projects to different
languages and output formats, making it easier to collaborate with colleagues, customers, and suppliers in different parts of the world and bring projects to a conclusion faster.

Manufacturer: Bucket Buddy (View all products by Bucket Buddy)
Model: Bucket Buddy (View all Bucket Buddy reviews)
Category: Horse Miscellaneous
Purchase: Needed secure way to hang water buckets in stalls. Bought from Dover Saddlery for $2.00 each.
Likes: These work great to hang water buckets or grooming buckets in stalls. We have them in each of the horses stalls. They work wonderfully and are very strong. The bucket can't be knocked out and they are pretty simple for people to release. Very easy to get bucket in and no matter how cold it releases with the same amount of effort as on warm summer days.
Dislikes: Pushing the clip to lift the bucket can be a bit more challenging with gloves on but nothing bad at all. Much easier then trying to buckle a bridle with gloves :).
Quality: Very strong. High quality plastic that can easily hold a full, 18 quart rubber bucket. No breaking or bending. Cold or heat they work just as well. No bucket spills or drops.
Summary: Great product to make life just a bit easier. Strong and secure. I would recommend to anyone.

Kindly help me as i can't connect to Reporting Services in SSMS using SERVERNAME but using URL(http://localhost/ReportServer) I can connect. Here is the error I received. Please advice.
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to PERRYDUNDOC-W7.
Unable to connect to the server at SERVERNAME. The specified URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report server version or configuration. Specify a different URL, or contact your server administrator to verify that the report server
runs SQL Server 2008 or later. Additionally, if you are trying to connect to a SharePoint-integrated report server, verify that SharePoint is installed on the server and that the report server uses SharePoint integrated mode. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)
Answer 1
Hi Perry,
By default, the SQL server Manager Studio(SSMS) uses the following way to connect to a report server instance:
There is a little different between the returned URL and the URL you used(http://localhost/ReportServer). The returned URL should be:
http://<machinename>/ReportServer. This URL is same to the URL we can get from the "Web Service URL" in the Reporting Services configuration Manager.
In this case, in order to troublehshoot the issue, please make sure we can open the report server by using
http://<machinename>/ReportServer (from Internet Explorer). If so, we may be able to connect to the report server by using the server name too.
However, if we are not able to connect to the report server, please check the authentication configuration settings. If we are using Kerberos authentication, please make sure the Service Principal Name(SPN)s are registered correctly.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Jin Chen
Answer 2
Hi Jin Chen,
I able to connect using the following in IE.
1) http://<machinename>/ReportServer
2) http://localhost/ReportServer
can you please help me on this --> please check the authentication configuration settings. If we are using Kerberos authentication, please make sure the Service Principal Name(SPN)s are registered correctly.
Answer 3
Do you use a proxy in the network? This means configuring the machine to use a proxy to access the network.

National Siblings Day: Honoring brothers and sisters
When looking at family history, we often first look at who we descend from, our parents, our grandparents and their parents.
Yet some of the most important people who shape our lives are those with whom we grow up every day.
Today, April 10, is National Siblings Day. It celebrates the impact our brothers and sisters had or have on us and how much we appreciate them.
The day was founded by Claudia A. Evart through a non-profit charity, Siblings Day Foundation, in 1998, to honor the memory of her late sister and brother who died in accidents at an early age.
Siblings are our closest family members, other than our parents, with whom we grew up with every day; the bonds we share with them last forever.
Traditions include sending a card or gift, or doing a good deed in honor of a sibling no longer with us.
At MyHeritage, we want to know about your favorite memories of your siblings, from childhood or more recently.
In honor of the day, leave a comment below with "I love my sibling because… ." We'll choose one of the best answers to win a $50 Amazon gift card to send to your sibling as a gift for the special day.
We look forward to reading your stories. You may also share photos or comments on Facebook, Google + or Twitter.

- I love my sibling because we can read each others minds. And this results in some serious laughs but some much needed hugs too.
- "I love my siblings because they were always there for me, or i should say for each other." I remember growing up that there was 5 older siblings in the house and 2 younger than me. We didn't have much but we had each other. We always played like softball or volleyball because we had our own team. We had shores we did before playing anything. We played indoor board games too. It was fun. We try to still get together when we can. We just lost our dad like 3 and a half weeks ago. We were all together. The greatest thing we were taught was to love one another. To help people who need help. And most of all trust in the LORD, because HE loves us. I love all my siblings.
- I love my siblings because we grew up in the 70s raised by a single mother who worked two jobs and we were still very poor. We took care of each other and learned to survive in the hardest times. The experiences we went through helped me take care of my family during hurricane Katrina. I was greatful for the skills we were taught at a very young age because without the help of my siblings I would have been lost during a very tragic time of my life.
- I love my sib because she NEVER fails to remember those things I've forgotten
- I loved my siblings because I left home when they were young. We all had much trauma in our lives but it seems I was always there to help pick up the pieces . It was not until much later in life because of terminal illness, that we became so very close. As the oldest, I became the family who took on all the final details when they both died. I am so happy that I had that privilege and tell them every day how much I loved and miss them.

LOCK HAVEN - The 26th Annual Sentimental Journey to Cub Haven Fly-In got under way Wednesday.
"Chaotic Circle" is the nickname Fly-In Director Kim Garlick has given the Sentimental Journey office at the William T. Piper Memorial Airport, appropriate given the amount of phone calls, faxes, copies and visitors she deals with for the biggest event of the year at the airport.
"Things are coming along great. People came in as early as Friday," she said. "Years ago, people started coming in on Tuesday (the day before the fly-in), but every year it gets a little bit earlier.
Garlick said 65 people pre-registered for the event, the most in its 26-year history.
In addition, she added, many come during the week unannounced and the final number is mostly dependent on the weather.
"If it's a good year weather-wise, we'll get as many as 500 planes," she said.
Forecasters are predicting hit-and-miss thunderstorms through the end of the week.
Thunderstorms a few years ago damaged several planes, and Garlick said officials now require all pilots tie down their planes when not running.
Hopefully, she said, this will prevent what happened at the Sun and Fun show in Lakeland, Fla., from March 29 to April 3 this year when about 70 Piper Cubs were damaged from a tornado that ripped through that area.
She said the energy and the enthusiasm of fly-in is something officials look forward to all year long.
"Then, it seems to be over in a blink of an eye," Garlick said. "On the last day, when they're pulling up stakes, you get a little melancholy about it ... I hate to see it end."
Nearly everybody in attendance hates to see it end, with the scenic beauty of the area along with friendly people and many other Piper Cub enthusiasts to share many a story with.
Ray Senf of Hastings, N.Y., just started coming to the event last year, with his friends Richie and Scott Revoir, who have been coming for several years to judge the Piper Cubs.
Senf brought down his 1948 Vagabond PA 15, the featured plane at this year's fly-in. He said the plane has up to 100 horsepower and can cruise at speeds of up to 95 mph.
"It only uses about four and a half gallons of gas an hour, too, so it's easy on the wallet," he said.
He said he likes the Lock Haven event because it's full of friendly people, and the food and activities are "cheap."
"I'm learning how to fly a plane," he said, noting he flew ultra-lights previously, "and this is a nice place to train because of the length of the runway and the nice grass turf."
instead of asphalt... And, you get a scenic view of the Susquehanna Valley.
Right next to Senf's Vagabond was David Roosevelt's RV-8 kit plane, which took him "two years and 1,900 hours to build."
However, the plane can fly at up to 205 mph, making short work of the trip from Wilsonville, Ala., to Lock Haven David shared with his father, EV Roosevelt, who brought his kit Cub Crafter Super Cub airplane. The trip only took about four hours.
Both still come to the fly-in, even after they sold away their Piper Cubs because of the friendly people, good times and scenic area.
"It's a good fly-in," David said. "There are a lot of nice people and it's a lot of fun."

Girl Scouts from Reading School District Visit Penn State Berks
Penn State Berks will host approximately 130 Girl Scouts–all Latina middle school students from Southern Middle School in the Reading School District–for a day of science and engineering workshops on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. The Girl Scouts will arrive on campus at 9 a.m. and depart by 2 p.m.
The event is part of the Girl Scouts' Inspirar/Breathe program, which calls on the girls' leadership skills and values to help protect the air of Planet Earth. This journey invites girls to engage their minds and hearts as they explore air with all their senses.
The middle school girls will be welcomed to the college by Dr. Paul Esqueda, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. They will then split into groups and choose from three of nine morning workshops, taught by Penn State Berks faculty members, all dealing with the themes of air and oxygen. After lunch, and they will hear from Maria Tinoco, Admissions Counselor, about the importance of pursuing higher education.

Police siren Kim Delaney of NYPD Blue dished enthusiastically at the opening of an L.A. branch of Kids Cafe, a national antihunger program for children.
"You're in the ring with the best," says Dustin Hoffman of working with Robert De Niro, who lent an ear at a Manhattan bash for their upcoming film Wag the Dog.
The suddenly ubiquitous Sarah Ferguson posed with a couple of stiffs at a Manhattan screening of China Box, a drama with Jeremy Irons. The duchess also attended a hospital benefit.
A pair of Pauls at Carnegie Hall: Simon and McCartney—hmmm, doesn't sound quite right, does it?—chatted after the latter presented his orchestral work Standing Stone.
Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino, his costar in the soon-to-be-filmed drama Sight Unseen, seemed pretty darn close at a New York City party to launch the Tocca Beauty product line. But Mira, her publicist swears, only has eyes for beau Quentin Tarantino.
Danny DeVito (left) didn't mind playing lower man on the totem pole to Andy Garcia at an L.A. soirée for The Rainmaker, where costar Claire Danes (right) looked sharp in stilettos. Hollywood It Boy Matt Damon, who plays the film's crusading attorney, was the man in the middle with lady love Minnie Driver (below right) and her sister Kate. "It's been serendipity, really," Damon told E! Online of his sudden A-list status. "I'm on a roll."
Great Scot Billy Connolly (Mrs. Brown) flashed his fashion sense at Welcome to Sarajevo's L.A. premiere. "It's nice to see film used to such powerful effect," he told the L.A Times.
That's no macaw, that's my wife: Scarlet-plumed Shawn Southwick King pecked husband Larry at the Larry King Cardiac Foundation gala in Washington, which raised $200,000 for a teen's heart transplant.
"It's funny, it's dark, it's kind of kinky," says Sigourney Weaver. She was describing either a telephone cord with a sense of humor, or, more likely, her new film Alien Resurrection, at whose L.A. premiere she appeared.

Boeing Co. says it may rely more on engineers at less-expensive sites outside its Seattle jet-manufacturing hub unless it wins competitive labor costs in union contract talks.
While the planemaker is keeping a renewed focus on engineering supported by Jim Albaugh, the former commercial planes chief who pushed to empower the group after delays on the 787 Dreamliner, the core doesn't have to be in Puget Sound, Mike Delaney, the company's chief engineer, said Wednesday.
"Seattle is a love-hate relationship for me," he said. "I love pumping all the money into my team, but now we're in the same place as Southern California and the Washington, D.C., area in terms of cost to do engineering. Those are the three most expensive places in the country to do engineering."

Among East Coast wreck divers, Michael A. deCamp already was a legend when, in June 1966, he got together a dozen buddies to charter a fishing boat and headed for the wild waters south of Nantucket, to the resting place of the Andrea Doria.
The Italian luxury liner had lain there, 250 feet down on her starboard side, since July 26, 1956, after colliding on a foggy night with the Swedish passenger ship Stockholm.
The Doria had been visited by well-heeled explorers, notably department-store scion Peter Gimbel, with an eye to salvaging its riches. But it was Mr. deCamp - in a quarter-inch wet suit against 48-degree water, two tanks with a phone booth's worth of plain air, a finicky double-hose regulator, crude depth gauge, and a watch in a plastic box - who opened the forbidding site to recreational diving.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z ReviewSony Xperia Tablet Z 9
Sony's second shot at Xperia slate glory, the Tablet Z, undoubtedly combines the best design and entertainment features the company can muster. It somehow managed to make the thinnest and lightest Full HD 10-incher out there, and made the whole package waterproof at that.
It is not easy to replicate Sony's achievement, as the Xperia Tablet Z also sports all bells and whistles we've come to expect from a modern day slate at a reasonable price, plus four 3D surround sound speakers, thus shaping it as arguably the best Android tablet around, on paper at least. Is it so when you get to use it for a while? Read on our review to find out...
It is not everyday we see tablets with less than 9mm thickness, and only the Toshiba Excite X10 managed sub-8mm girth. Sub-7mm tablets? Just the Xperia Tablet Z, mind you, and at 17.46 oz (495 g), it is also the lightest in its category, even more astonishing for a waterproof slate. It can be submerged in three feet of water and stay there for 30 minutes, or get into a dust storm without any damage. While it's unlikely you'll be using the waterboarding feature for anything but bragging rights, the important part is that you won't be afraid to use it with wet hands in the kitchen to scroll through recipes, take it to the beach, or video chat in the rain, for instance.
The dry dimension numbers translate into an incredible holding experience from the moment you grab it for the first time, and managing a 10" tablet with one hand while you operate the screen with the other has never been easier on the wrist.
We aren't expecting any premium metal chassis in the thinnest and lightest 10-incher out there, and the Xperia Tablet Z is indeed wrapped in a soft-touch plastic, with rubberized sides, and tight protective flaps on top of the memory card, headphone and charging ports.
key travel could be deeper.
The quad-speaker system at the bottom corners is water-tight, too, in line with the tablet's IP57 elements-resistant certification, and the music kept pumping after we briefly dipped the tablet in a water fountain. The four speakers are situated pretty well so as you don't cover them while holding the tablet with both hands, as so often happens on other slates.
The 8 MP camera on the back is placed a bit unorthodox at the upper corner, so have this in mind when arranging the tablet for a shot, so as you don't cover the lens with your finger. Also, at such record low weight and thickness, the tablet is prone to being carried from one room to the other grabbed by the corner, which smudges the lens cover if you grab it by the wrong one.
Sony put a 10.1" 1920x1200 pixels sensor-on-lens display panel in the Tablet Z, meaning that the touch layer is directly placed onto the screen without the typical air gap in-between, making for a slimmer package, thus allowing for the record thin slate.
Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 down to a high-res Xperia tablet panel for the first time. That whole marketing speak translates into a display whose colors can look pretty saturated when showing pictures or video, though not up to the gaudy level of OLED screens.
In addition to the high brightness and vivid colors, the display panel sports very good viewing angles, too, though the vertical ones seem a tad wider than the horizontal.

Beautiful.. But Sony is really lacking the eagerness to distribute this spectacular device..
Cmon Sony

Pretty sure I've seen AOSP around for this device if I'm not confusing it with another Sony tablet.

It does have AOSP yes :)
And official CM10.1 and an XDA forum too

Maybe because:
Slimmest and lightest 10" tablet
Waterproof chassis
Four-speaker system with virtual surround modes
Infrared sensor turns the tablet into remote control
and find me a Crapsung (or Apple) tablet whit all these features.
30. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Go educate yourself before speaking. Samsung has had at least two of those features in a tablet way before Sony ever did...
32. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
I said all four... give me the model name, please! Give me a model (whatever brand) that can be compared with this, and this means that it must have ALL the features above and it must be a premium product (i.e. have comparable build quality and materials). We're not talking about the past... if Samsung HAD some tablets with SOME of these features, I don't see why it should matter. Since wendygarrett complained about a rating that she considered too high, I'd like her to elaborate on that and tell us why the xperia Z does not deserve it. If the Z had had the Samsung or Apple brand it would have easily won the "best tablet on the market" award, but since it's a Sony here come the Samsung fanboys (which have become
35. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
even more annoying than Apple's, continuosly infesting forums just to point out that this or that sony/htc model cannot compete with the GS4, like if they were scared and they had to say it to themselves to be assured...) to say that the rating is not deserved, what's more without further explanations. And we know why: because they would be forced to say that the only reason is that the Z is not of their favourite brand.
42. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
I can't give you a tablet with all those features but I can give you a tablet well ahead of it and I can give you plenty of tablets that were better than this for their time. The Nexus 10 for example is only 8.9mm, not much thicker, with a much nicer screen, cpu, gpu, two front facing stereo speakers.
Also the tab 7.7 was released two years or so ago and it was aluminum, 1280 X 800, had an IR blaster, and 7.9mm.
I wouldn't brag about being waterproof too and having an ir blaster too much because those things pale compared to something like a dualcore A15 and 2560X1600 screen all for $100 dollars less. Plus it has stock android. For starters, the outdated S4 pro can't even support a resolution higher than 1900 x 1200. The Xperia Tablet Z is nice and I can see why some people might think that it is the best tablet around but don't act like it blows anything from Samsung or Apple away, because it doesn't based on the CPU alone. The A6X and any A15, even dual core crushes the S4 pro.
49. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
i don't what are you trying to say but his asking you is there any samsung tablet with all those feature??
the only good things about nexus 10 is better display and stock android (because timely update) but nothing more than that.
dualcore A15 maybe sounds impresive but S4 Pro (Xperia tablet Z) beats A15 (Nexus 10) in synthetic benchmark test
and on glbenchmark benchmark result "GPU TEST" bettwen XT Z vs Nexus 10 is almost similar (only ipad 4 have better result
S4 pro outdated?? i don't think so because it still can compete with the top dog like S600 oand Exynos 5 octa.
even PA said Xperia Tablet Z is "arguably the best Android tablet around"
you know why ?? because its the most all rounded tablet right now
great design.
great display.
great feature.
great performance.
water and dust resistant
if you can find any tablet that can beats everything what Xperia Tablet Z have please let me know!!!

Um, go read up on the Exynos 5 dual on Anandtech and educate yourself. And go read my reply to Dr. Tom down there. I am going to own him.
60. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
haha i know how powerful A15 cab be. thats why i said "dual core A15 maybe sounds impresive"
but its all about real life performace Exynos 5 dual and Mali-604 can't keep up with 2560 x 1600 pixels and (~299 ppi pixel density) even with stock android.
thats why Xperia Tablet Z beats nexus 10
you like or not until this day Xperia Tablet Z is the best Android Tablet around
some Samsung tablet maybe better on somethings but overall Xperia Tablet Z is still the best
Xperia Tablet Z with only S4 Pro still can handle anything you throw at it
you can keep talking about BS, but if you can't find any samsung tablet that can beats everything what Xperia Tablet Z have please just shut up!!!
i'll answer your comment if you can find any better tablet from samsung okay!!

Taters, you need to start taking your MEDS again because you are having the illusions of a fool again. Perhaps you need to do your homework and study up on processors before you make dumb remarks. Dual core processors are not as good as quad core processors. 4 is better than 2! The iPad with an A6X is good because its iOS is small, efficient and optimized for a cheaper dual core 1.3ghz processor. The GPU is what drives the screen and iPad has a large one to drive all those pixels. Now take your MEDs and don't make a fuss!

I suggest that you read up on the A6X and the Exynos 5 dual. The GPU is part of the A6X and you are right, that is what makes it own the S4 pro badly.
Go educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself. The Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10 was designed at the same time. They used the outdated S4 Pro for the phone because 1280 X 768 is about what it can handle. They used the bleeding edge Exynos 5 Dual on the Nexus 10 because it was the only chipset available at the time that can power the Nexus 10, otherwise they would have used the S4 pro. unless you are really stupid enough to believe that Google would use the weaker CPU on their tablet. You either use the same cpu on both the tablet and phone or you use the weaker cpu on the phone and the more powerful one on the tablet, that is how it works. No such thing as using a more powerful cpu on a lower res phone.
As for your retarded 4 cores is better than 2 comment. Well, the Core 2 duo smokes the crap out of a Pentium 4 big time. The same applies here. where the Exynos 5 Dual pimp slaps the S4 Pro big time.

S4 pro is used in many laptops, and S4 pro basically is the same as the S600. Their model names are almost the same.APQ8064T and APQ8064. Just an extra 'T'. Resolution is a factor, but not a huge one. Google only designed part of the Nexus 10. The other part is designed by Samsung while the Nexus 4 is half-designed by LG. LG went for the S4 pro while Samsung, who made an epic fail, chose a dual core in a 10 inch tablet. Would you rather have a higher resolution screen with a laggy experience or having a lower resolution screen with a very smooth experience?

For someone who asks others to "read up" and "educate (themselves) before making a fool of (themself)", you just made a big fool of yourself.
"As for your retarded 4 cores is better than 2 comment. Well, the Core 2 duo smokes the crap out of a Pentium 4 big time."
Pentium 4 is a single core. The Pentium D, is at best, a dual-core. Of course the highly-efficient Core 2 Duo "smokes the crap out" of the failure that was NetBurst Pentium 4.

Can I have some of the same Hallucinogens that you are taking, please. Grow up and get a life. We're talking about mobile chipsets here, so when you take your head out of your ass, go to a desktop site to make your stupid comments. By the way, if you need to talk about processers from 13 years ago, 13 years ago (LOL), it shows what a real loser you truly are...WTF LOSER, GET A LIFE YOU TROLL!
86. Karriope (Posts: 97; Member since: 07 Jun 2013)
Funny, you're the one who was firing back at Taters to begin with. What do you want me to do, argue over the nuances of an APQ8064T and APQ8064?
84. miket247 (Posts: 81; Member since: 16 Apr 2013)
You really need to get a life, and just so you know, its 2013. You should try to climb into the present! If you need to talk about desktop processors from 2000, go to another site, like PC mag... you might want to remember that we are talking mobile processors here! Its great that you know about some forgotten processor from the stone ages, but I'll take a Snapdragon quad core 800/600/S4 pro any day, over whatever dual core processor you can think of Geek. Wake up DORK and get a LIFE, cause your dual core family nuts just NetBurst on your sh*t for brains face! :)

there is something that makes this thing stand out....i cant figure out what it is though....got my attention in the first look
14. loken (Posts: 462; Member since: 09 May 2012)
WATERPROOF + thin design + lightweight + good looks! no wonder it catches your attention!
11. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
I understand that $500 is a fair price for this beautiful thing. Yet a FHD Nexus 7 may hit the stores 2.5 times cheaper and only really missing is an IR blaster while sporting the same (and on pure Android, more fluid) HW. Maybe a battery-keyboard dock would've provided that extra special for attention, or something unique like the Wacom on the Notes. Or a 399.99 price tag or a December launch. But S4 Pro is really outdated come Summer 2012, no tablet should come out on that one and set you back by $500. I passed on the Note 3 and I'll pass on this one. Let's see if a Tegra 4 or SD800 one comes out with something special.
15. loken (Posts: 462; Member since: 09 May 2012)
S4 Pro outdated??? I think not..

Naw, even Asus is using the Qualcomm 600 for their padfone infinity.
66. skyguy7567 (Posts: 148; Member since: 17 Nov 2012)
S4 pro and 600 is basically the same processors, with the 600 with a slightly higher clock speed. Inner configuration and arrangements are the same. APQ8064T for 600 and APQ8064 for the S4 PRO. No big difference just with an extra T. Look at the specs and GPU and RAM and everything of the two processors. They are the same. S4 PRO will not be outdated for at least a year.

From The Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen translated by Michael H. Kohn; © 1991 by Shambhala Publications, Inc. Reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Inc., www.shambhala.com
Skt. (Pali, Siddhatta Gotama); founder of Buddhism, the historical Buddha. Siddhārtha was born in 566 or 563 BCE into a noble family of the Shākya clan in Kapilavastu, a city in present-day Nepal. His father, Suddhodana, was the head of the Shākyas; his mother, Māyādevī, who brought Siddhārtha into the world in the Lumbinī Grove, died seven days after his birth. Siddhārtha was brought up by his aunt on his mother's side, Mahāprajāpatī. Carefully raised in wealthy circumstances, Siddhārtha married Yashodharā at the age of sixteen. At twenty-nine, after the birth of his son, Rāhula, he entered homelessness and attended on various ascetic teachers, without, however, reaching his goal, spiritual liberation. Thus he gave up the ascetic way of life and turned to meditation. At thirty-five he realized complete enlightenment, awakening (bodhi). After remaining silent at the beginning—because he was aware of the impossibility of communicating directly what he had experienced in enlightenment—he began at the request of others to expound insights drawn from his experience of enlightenment. He spent the rest of his life moving from place to place teaching, and a great number of disciples gathered around him. Siddhārtha Gautama, who came to be known by the name Shākyamuni (Sage of the Shākya Clan), died at the age of eighty after eating some spoiled food.

Electric Pinwheels Blade Technology
Inspired by nature, our patented (US Patent 8,430,637) wind turbine blade design flexes without breaking just like feathers on a bird. This allows us to create the optimum shape for power generation with lightweight materials, resulting in a blade weight 63% lighter than wood or fiberglass. This reduction of mass allows quicker response to changing wind speed and direction, producing more power in less-than-ideal locations (more) .
Energy-absorbing design reduces danger of blade strikes...... The leading edge of the blade deforms locally by compressing the polyester film profile, reducing the overall PSI of impact. In addition, the trailing edge spar slides inward to allow the entire blade to flex in the axis of rotation. These two features combine to dissipate the energy of an impact, adding to the overall safety of the system.(back to top)
Advanced S809 airfoil maximizes generated power at lower RPM ...Some of the other small wind turbines use a very thin profile blade that must spin very fast to generate power. We chose to build an alternator with larger magnets and coils to generate power at a much lower RPM, which requires a blade profile that can maximize power in medium winds and self-limit in higher winds. The S809 is used on many utility-scale wind turbines for its aerodynamic advantages over other airfoil shapes. The overall blade profile on an Electric Pinwheel is tapered and twisted to capture power from every inch of the blade. (back to top)
Lighter blades allow quicker response to changing wind speed and direction...The rotor on a wind turbine acts as a large gyroscope, resisting change in direction as it spins. Reducing the rotating mass by 63% and moving weight toward the center of rotation has the effect of reducing the moment of inertia by 78%, which is the property that governs the degree of gyroscopic effect. The picture to the right illustrates a comparison between a wood or fiberglass blade and an Electric Pinwheel blade in terms of this gyroscopic effect.
Lighter blades also have the effect of less wear-and-tear on the bearings, blade structure, and amplitude of vibrations. (back to top)

Some things I've learnt through eight months of not having a car:
1. It costs as much to feed a car as it does to feed a person.
2. There IS time to walk.
3. Riding the bus can be a social occasion.
4. Sharing is caring - one car between two people can suffice.
5. I don't actually LIKE driving.
6. Life can be more peaceful at a walking pace.

This morning, while I was checking out our Google+ account, I came across an interesting article posted by Chris Kresser's about the conflict of interest between Big Pharma and doctor support of off-label uses for drugs.
Because I'm always one for a good conspiracy, I took the bait and started reading the post, published on Dr. John Briffa's website, entitled "It seems opinion leaders' conflicts of interest with drug companies often go undisclosed." Overall, I thought the article was interesting and opened my eyes to a whole new level of "shadiness" within the pharmaceutical and medical communities.
I've always felt we should take medical findings with a grain of salt given that I'd heard many studies receive funding/grant money either directly or indirectly from the company/companies whose very product(s) are being evaluated. Unfortunately, as Briffa's article points out, there's something going on that I think is a lot worse:
Not uncommonly, it seems, a drug company will encourage off-label use by doctors (it extends its market, of course). One way a drug company can do this is to partake in a bit of 'off-label marketing'. A strategy here might be to court and then pay doctors and scientists to speak and write about off-label uses of a drug.
Ideally, if a doctor or researcher were to write in an academic journal about off-label uses of a drug, then he or she would at least declare any relevant conflicts of interest. That way, readers can better judge whether the author's opinions might be biased (tainted) through whatever commercial arrangement they have with the drug company that makes the product they are writing about. Some new research suggests that, on the whole, reporting of conflicts of interest here leaves much to be desired [1].
For those of you who don't know what "off-label" means, here's a quick synopsis:
When a prescription drug is approved for use, it is approved for a very specific group of people and condition. This does not, however, mean this is the only reason a drug can be prescribed.
In a hypothetical example, let's assume there is a new drug called PaleoMax that has been tested and approved for the treatment of IBS in men over the age of 40. However, PaleoMax also increases fertility in women between the ages of 24 and 38. This additional "benefit" would be an off-label benefit, and in practice, doctors would be allowed to prescribe the drug to women to help with fertility, even though it's not what the drug was approved for.
Back to Briffa's article, where he talks more about the referenced study:
The study in question started by identifying doctors or researchers who had been reported by other health professionals for (inappropriate) off-label activities. 39 relevant individuals were identified who had gone on to author a (whopping) total of 404 articles about relevant products (drugs with which their appeared to be a conflict of interest) over a 3-year period.
Of 404 articles, 342 (85 per cent) were deemed to lack adequate disclosure statements.
For me, here's the disturbing part about all of this: doctors are being approached by pharmaceutical companies to speak or write about off-label uses, but when many doctors speak/write they're not disclosing the fact they've been courted to do so.
Granted, this study is skewed in the sense that it was already focusing on doctors who had been flagged for inappropriate off-label activities, so I certainly don't believe that 85% of all off-label support from doctors has a conflict of interest.
Again, I'm not trying to say that all doctors that do this are crooked and would be less than honest with their championing of additional uses for already available drugs. However, I do feel very strongly that all doctors should be forthcoming and state up front whether or not they are being "sponsored" to support these additional uses since there is an apparent conflict of interest.
What are your thoughts on this? Are we just over thinking this or is this a real problem? Leave your comments below!

Apple Pie Pancakes
Prep time
5 mins
Cook time
5 mins
Total time
10 mins
Delicious pancakes with shredded apples and spices.
Karlynn Johnston
Recipe type:
¾ cup of white flour
¾ cup of whole wheat flour
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 egg
1½ cups of milk
⅛ of a cup of melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup of shredded apple
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp cloves
Whisk together your dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In another bowl, mix the egg,milk, vanilla and apples all together. If you haven't already, get your griddle preheating at this point.
Make a well into the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture in. Mix them together until they are just combined and they are ready to go!
These pancakes do take a little work to be spread out to cook, but it's worth it in the end. They will bubble a little bit on top like normal pancakes, but that's not how you can tell they are done. Watch for the edges to look cooked, and then that's when to flip.

bodyrock.tv Primal Fitness is also great.
Bodyrock is just perfect for me b/c
1)I can do it at home
2)It's free. (and we're still paying for an expensive health club *rolls eyes in the general direction of dh*)
3)It's novel. She keeps it interesting which is key for me. I get bored easily.
4)It's primal. just about all bodyweight exercises. While most of the workouts are done as HIIT (ie sprints), it's easy to modify to do it as 'lift heavy things' by simply slowing it down and taking breaks as needed rather than keeping pace with the intervals.
5)It's effective.
6)It's efficient. 12-20 minutes a day.
7)She always has mods for both level and equipment availability.
I really like this one. And there are 50 or 60 I like equally as well.
Here is another similar site but with the regular-not-porno camera work. She uses more equipment. Great workouts:

Dunn's smart play lifts Girard over Sharon
EDINBORO -- Joe Dunn has been counted on to be a decision-maker throughout his career at Girard as the quarterback of the football team and a leader on the basketball team.
His final decision Wednesday night put Girard in the District 10 Class AAA semifinals.
Dunn took a pass with less than 15 seconds left and darted toward the basket after seeing the lane open up. He went to the hole and scored with nine seconds left to complete a terrific comeback and give Girard a thrilling 47-43 win over Sharon in the District 10 Class AAA quarterfinals in front of more than 1,400 fans at McComb Fieldhouse.
"We wanted nothing but a layup until the final shot," Dunn said. "I saw a layup and took it. We stayed confident even when we were down because we've been here before. We were calm and know these situations well."
Girard (19-4) moves on to the semifinals next week against Strong Vincent at a site, date and time to be determined.
Sharon (12-11) took an immediate 8-2 lead in the first quarter and led until the final minutes. The Tigers were seemingly in control when Mark Henry converted two free throws to give them a 43-33 edge with 4 minutes, 29 seconds left. But the veteran 'Jackets regrouped and scored the final 14 points to complete a furious comeback through their always reliable defense.
Joe Swanson started the comeback with an old-fashioned three-point play before Dunn had a drive and a 3-pointer off a steal to cut the lead to 43-41.
After a Sharon timeout and turnover, Swanson knocked down two free throws with 2 minutes, 4 seconds left for the first tie of the game at 43-43.
Each team had a possession to work some clock, but Sharon held the ball with a minute to play. Instead of waiting for the last shot, the Tigers went to the hole, but the rebound went out of bounds off a Tiger with 37.3 seconds left.
Girard could have also run the clock down, but Dunn saw an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
"Our guys had the green light to do what they needed to do in the final minute," Girard coach Darrin Mayes said. "Joe has been making great decisions like that all year. Sharon is a very good defensive team and he and the rest of the guys adjusted to it in the second half."
Dunn finished with 15 points, while Swanson led Girard with 16. Henry had a breakout game for Sharon with 19 points, while Khalil Hopson added nine.
"Something in my heart said something about this group. They don't give up," Mayes said.
"Eleven games ago when we lost to East, and nothing against East, they beat us, this group took it to heart and they've been working so hard. Again, I'm just a proud coach."

A Tempe college student whose career goal is working in network security was arrested Thursday on charges of hacking into Sony Pictures Entertainment's computer network.
An indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles accuses Cody Kretsinger, 23, of conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer.
He appeared before a federal magistrate in Phoenix on Thursday afternoon and was released without bail.
Under the terms of his release, Kretsinger can use a computer for work or school only.
Efforts to reach Kretsinger were unsuccessful.
According to the indictment, Kretsinger is a member of an elite collective of hackers called Lulz Security, or LulzSec, a group that has claimed responsibility for launching a cyberattack on Sony Pictures in late May and early June.
LulzSec posted private information on tens of thousands of Sony customers, including their usernames, passwords, e-mail addresses and phone numbers, on the hacker group's website.
Officials believe that Kretsinger went by the moniker "recursion" and used a proxy server to hide his Internet Protocol address. He was able to exploit Sony Pictures' database by giving its input system an overloading series of commands, according to the Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Christensen.
After the attack on Sony Pictures, Kretsinger permanently erased the hard drive of his computer to avoid detection by law enforcement, according to the indictment.
In June, LulzSec took responsibility for hacking into the Arizona Department of Public Safety's computers and releasing hundreds of law-enforcement files. It said the attack was retaliation for SB 1070, an Arizona law designed to crack down on illegal immigration.
The files, which were placed on LulzSec's website, included personal information about law-enforcement officers and numerous documents ranging from routine alerts from out-of-state police agencies to videos and photos about the hazards of police work and the operations of drug gangs.
LulzSec has also claimed to have breached the websites of the CIA and the U.S. Senate.
Kretsinger is originally from Decatur, Ill. He moved to Arizona in August 2010 to pursue the University of Advancing Technology's network-security curriculum, according to a UAT newsletter from July.
In the same newsletter, he was named UAT's Student of the Month.
He said in the newsletter that his dream was to work for the Department of Defense or the National Security Agency.
"While I wouldn't mind being a penetration tester, I think it's a lot more fun to try to build and secure a network and its devices from the ground up." Kretsinger said.
Kretsinger could face 15 years in prison if convicted.
The Electronic Crimes Task Force in Los Angeles, which includes the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department, conducted the investigation.
Cody Kretsinger walks out of U.S. District Court on Thursday in Phoenix.

World Expo holds the MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack attraction and is themed—quite well—to the 1964 World's Fair's New York State pavilion. In addition, it houses a fabulous re-creation of the town of Springfield from The Simpsons television series.
The MEN IN BLACK pavilion is a great subject for nighttime photographs. Try standing on the walkway between Disaster! and MEN IN BLACK.
On the Springfield end, what started with The Simpsons Ride, a Kwik-E-Mart store, and some carnival games expanded hugely in 2013. This area now offers guests an immersive experience: while strolling the streets of Springfield, they can visit Moe's Tavern for some Duff Beer or a Flaming Moe, or grab a Krusty Burger from the Fast Food Boulevard food court. You might even run into Sideshow Bob or Homer Simpson while heading to the Kang & Kodos' Twirl 'n' Hurl ride!

LISBON - A new veterans identification card program is being implemented by the Columbiana County Veterans Service Commission, Senior County Veterans Service Officer Charles T.Smith, said Tuesday.
The sole purpose is to honor and verify veterans who have been honorably discharged from service in the United States military, Smith said.
He explained that veterans need to call (330-424-7214) for an appointment (no walk ins) and bring a copy of their DD-214 and one other form of photo identification.
The DD-214 doesn't have to be a certified copy, Smith said, adding that the process takes about 10 minutes for a photograph while veterans will be given information on services offered by the Veterans Administration.
He said the program began on March 17 and the Columbiana County Veterans Service Commission has already issued 35 of the cards.
"It's a testament to their service," Smith said, explaining that it also gives the VSC a chance to meet veterans they haven't see before.
There are 88 county veteran service commission offices in Ohio, Smith said and some are issuing the veterans' ID cards through the county recorders offices and charging for the cards.
"This is strictly out of the Veterans Services," he said, adding that veterans may get a discount with some businesses, "but that's not the main purpose" of the cards or guaranteed in any way.
The Columbiana County Veterans Service Commission is located on Dickey Drive (off Saltwell Road) in the new Government Services Building, 7989 Dickey Dr., Suite 1.
