86-89 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2011
(100% merlot) Ruby-red. P erfumed aromas of blackcurrant, plum, mocha, plus a suggestion of graphite. Supple, suave and quite dry; in a distinctly restrained style, with musky oak and mineral elements currently dominating primary red fruit flavors. Finishes smooth and long, but I would have liked a bit more clarity and lift.

I think a philosophical life matters. It makes us deeper, not necessarily better. I mean by that that philosophy can cultivate our capacities to experience the world, enriching how we value, enjoy, suffer, understand ourselves, and relate to others. It is the mark of an intellectually and spiritually stunted society to think that everything has to be useful, and the mark of a truly one-dimensional culture to think that what is useful has to be economically profitable.
My primary philosophical interests concern the intersection of three mutually determining issues: normalization, exclusion, and excess. My research considers how processes of normalization structure and regulate our values, discourses, and knowledge. It also addresses how those processes require the exclusion of ways of being resistant to productive assimilation (i.e., ways of living, experiencing, thinking, desiring, creating, questioning, and valuing). Most importantly, though, I'm interested in how those same ways of being say something about the character of our existence that breaks with the kind of prosaic life sanctioned by the social order. In this way, my work brings together ontological and ethico-political considerations, as well as concerns pertaining to the scope and limits of critical theory. My approach is phenomenological, hermeneutical, and/or genealogical as warranted by the specific phenomena at issue.

Texas Instruments is expected to report lower fourth-quarter 2012 earnings and revenue
Texas Instruments Inc. today is expected to report lower fourth-quarter profits and revenue, but the question is by how much.
Last month, TI cut its fourth-quarter financial outlook because of hefty restructuring charges related to its wireless business and continued weak demand.
The Dallas-based semiconductor company expects a per-share profit of 5 cents to 9 cents, which compares with 25 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2011. That includes a 21-cent charge for its wireless restructuring and a 6-cent charge for acquisitions and restructuring.
TI has said wireless charges would total about $300 million, including about $225 million for severance-related costs, with most of that taken in the fourth quarter. The company is laying off about 1,700 workers worldwide, including 500 in the Dallas area, as it exits the wireless mobile market (products used in smartphones and computer tablets).
TI also expects fourth-quarter revenue of $2.89 billion to $3.01 billion, which would be down from $3.42 billion a year earlier.
Wall Street expects revenue to come in at the high end of the company's guidance, according to 35 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Last month, TI vice president Ron Slaymaker said he expected TI to book about $200 million in revenue for products sold for smartphones and tablets in the fourth quarter and about $800 million for all of 2012. Revenue for calculators, computing, televisions and industrial (excluding automotive) will be weak in the fourth quarter, but revenue from game consoles and e-books is doing well, he said.
It's anyone's guess how TI stock will react. Its shares are up 21 percent from Sept. 25 when it announced plans to retreat from the wireless mobile market.
On Friday, TI shares rose 37 cents to close at $33.52, but they fell 21 cents to $31.31 in after-hours trading. Stocks did not trade yesterday because the markets were closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Friday's closing price for TI's stock was up nearly 29 percent from its 52-week low in July — when the company began to see weakening orders and customer reluctance to build inventory amid global economic uncertainty — and close to its 52-week high of $34.24 on March 27, 2012.

In this image you'll notice in the background there are these cords here that I hadn't noticed and I need to remove those, but the trick is that these are really close to the subject. We have different brightness levels, different areas of contrast. If we just try to use say the Spot Healing Brush and make our brush nice and big maybe and then click and paint across this, what's going to happen is it's going to bring in other elements. You can see that it kind of brought in part of the sweater; that isn't going to work. Well, how then can we retouch this? Well, how could we select this area and just work on this area? Well, one of the ways that we can do this is we could use one of our selection tools.
There are a ton of different selection tools. Just to highlight one that you might want to try when you're working with edges, it's the Magnetic Lasso tool. You can select that by clicking on it in the Tools panel and then the way that this works is you click to set a point and then you drag along an edge. In this case I'm dragging along this edge here and Photoshop is picking up that there's contrast. If you want to set a point you can click on that and then now that we've done that what we need to do next is we need to loop back around to where we started.
Now we could try to go all the way out to the outer edge of the frame, but it's not going to work very well. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to move to the inside of the frame and just make my way around and then click back to the starting point to make a selection. Now this selection looks a little bit strange. Why are we selecting that? Well, I'm selecting that so that I can eventually invert it and then clone in or clone away the distracting element. Whenever you're working with selections, it's always a good idea to try to refine the edge of it. So here we'll go to the Refine Edge dialog.
This gives us this perspective which we can change from this View pulldown menu and it shows us our selection. In this case we could turn on Smart Radius if we wanted to and we could crank that up a little bit, or we could increase the Contrast in order to increase the density of the edge there, and then click OK. Basically that just allows us to improve that selection. Well as I mentioned, the area selected right now is the exact opposite of what we want, so we need the inverse this selection.
To inverse the selection, you navigate to the Select pulldown menu and here we choose Inverse. And while this technique involves a number of steps, it's worth it; otherwise, if we try to use some of our Healing tools or Patch tool, it would just be kind of a mess. Well, now that we've done that; now that we have all of this area selected, everything but this little area in here, we can do some healing or cloning. Let's try using the Clone Stamp tool. We can select that tool by clicking on it in the Tools panel or you can press the S key.
With this tool, make sure opacity is nice and high. Here we'll go to 100%. We'll turn Aligned on, we'll also sample all layers, so that we can do all our cleanup work on this new layer. Next, I'm going to press the spacebar key so that I can see the right-hand side of my photograph and here I'll Option+ Click on a Mac or Alt+Click on Windows to sample the tone on the right-hand side of the frame, because I'm moving over here in a lateral way, I have the same brightness value on that right-hand side, as I do on the left.
Now that I have that I can go ahead and paint back and forth across this area of the picture. Notice that it's painting along this edge without covering up the subject here at all. You may need to Option+Click or Alt+ Click again in order to create another sample point and then reposition your cursor over that little blemish. You can then paint it away and at some point what you want to do, is you want to make sure that you have done a good job with this. So here I'm just going to Option+Click or Alt+ Click and just paint it away a little bit more. So in order to determine if we've done a good job, we'll navigate to the Select menu and here we'll choose Deselect or you can use that shortcut to deselect, it's Command+D on a Mac or Ctrl+D on Windows.
And next I'm going to reposition the image a little bit, so we can see it all and then click on this icon here. Here's our before. Click again. There is the after. I'll zoom out just a little bit more so we can see the image in its entirety, and you want to do that. You want to make sure your retouching work really fits into the rest of your photograph. We'll click on the Eye icon one more time. There it is: our before and now our after.
After exploring techniques to improve the overall photo, Chris shares his techniques for reducing wrinkles, enhancing eyes and other facial features, improving hair, and retouching makeup. The course concludes with a look at retouching skin and reshaping portions of a portrait using transformations, the Warp tool, and the Liquify filter.

1951 Topps Red Back Unopened Wax Box (120 Unopened Packs!)
Starting Bid - $2,000.00 , Sold For - $11,162.50
Complete unopened box of 1951 Topps Red Back wax packs, miraculously left undisturbed and literally untouched for the past fifty-seven years. In the world of unopened boxes, this unopened 1951 Topps Red Backs wax box qualifies as one of the "Holy Grails." In all our years, this is the first complete unopened box of 1951 Red Backs we have ever handled. This is a miracle box! The box includes 120 unopened packs with each pack containing two cards. Of special note, of course, is the fact that 1951 was the very first year Topps issued a major baseball card set. No one could have possibly known that the cards issued by Topps in this year would revolutionize the baseball card business, and in just a few years that Topps would dominate the field. It had to start somewhere - and it did - with this box and many others like it that stocked store shelves in dozens of candy stores across the land. In the 1970s, in the Philadelphia area, a number of unopened boxes surfaced, which apparently were extra stock that had not sold in 1951 but had survived in storage. These boxes were opened up by dealers at the time, as there was no incentive to keep them unopened (incredible as it may seem, at the time they were actually more valuable opened rather than unopened, to make sets) though perhaps a few boxes were saved intact. We have no way of knowing for sure, but we would not be surprised if this full box originates from that legendary find. The 1951 Red Backs set features fifty-two players and includes the following eight Hall of Famers: Berra, Rizzuto, Wynn, Kiner, Feller, Spahn, Snider, and Irvin. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, there is, of course, the very real possibility that within this box are Gem Mint cards of these stars. All the many other stars in the set are also included. The packs are in Nr/Mt condition overall. The box is a double-lid design (the top lid comes off and the perforated fold-back lid can be seen). Both sections of the display box are present. The box and packs appear just as they did in 1951, displaying only normal shelf wear. This is an exceptionally rare and substantial unopened wax box in extraordinary condition, looking exactly as it has when it appeared on a candy store shelves in 1951. This complete box looks as if it has been transported through a window in time, direct from the earliest days of Topps and the "golden era" of baseball cards. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$8,000+. SOLD FOR $11,162.50

Mesa, Martha, and the MAC
This Arizona arts complex is a triumph of designed form in a
bland suburban context. But where are the users who were supposed to enjoy its
outdoor spaces?
By Michael Bruce Dollin, ASLA
Mesa, Arizona, may be the largest city in America that
you've never heard of. With a population of more than 450,000 and growing,
Mesa, joined at the hip with the sprawl of metropolitan Phoenix, is probably
best characterized by stucco subdivisions and a profound abhorrence of taxes. Voters
there recently rejected its first-ever property tax, despite dire warnings of
the rejection's impact on essential community services, so it's extraordinary
that this profoundly suburban city defied conventional wisdom and funded one of
the edgiest arts complexes in the Southwest.
Mesa is modest in scale and character. Several churches, a
city administration building, and a few commercial buildings provide the only
significant downtown context, which bleeds off into surface parking and vacant
lots. Originally settled by Mormons, Mesa incorporates streets wide enough to
turn a 20-mule team, and formal grounds surround the Arizona Temple. In this
modest context, a group of community leaders gently nudged the town toward the
funding, design, and construction of the new Mesa Arts Center (MAC).
"I don't know of any other community that I have worked with
that was so visionary," said Martha Schwartz, ASLA, recently during a telephone
interview from her London office about her largest completed project to date.
"Visionary" is not something one is accustomed to hearing about Mesa, yet this
paradox of progressive expression in the desert is a real phenomenon in
Arizona, where Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West and Palo Solari's Cosanti
coexist with the dominant bland development pattern.
With funding in place from the 1998 quality-of-life tax
fund, Mesa began its search for the best design team. A selection committee
narrowed the field to five finalists and then visited project sites designed by
each of them. One observation the committee made, recounted Gerry Fathauer, now
executive director of the MAC, was that landscape was overlooked in many of the
projects on the tour. "That was not going to happen in Mesa," says Fathauer.
"If anything, the design would be focused on the idea of the arts center as a
landscape, not simply a building."
The selection committee chose the design team with the
strongest understanding of the site and program opportunities. The winning team
was formed by DWL Architects of Phoenix. DWL brought in BOORA Architects of
Portland, Oregon, who suggested the inclusion of Schwartz. She was designated
lead designer for the site, while Design Workshop acted as executive landscape
architects. Together, they worked collaboratively through about a dozen schemes
to arrive at the final design solution.
Members of the team were fascinated with the quality of
light and shadow in Arizona. The intense sunlight must have seemed like a rare
form of energy to design firms from Portland, Boston, and London. They wanted
the site and the facilities to be vibrant with a flow of pedestrians migrating
through a village of arts—past the performance hall, the kiln, the welders'
yard, and the exhibit gallery, up to the classrooms, and down the canyon to the
sculpture garden and waterfall. The center's operational program is contained
in a backdrop of layered form, a composition of buildings, courtyards, plazas,
fountains, shade structures, gardens, and edges. The seven-acre site acts as an
oasis, a respite from the cultural void in this growing city.
A 700-foot-long "shadow walk," a richly appointed pedestrian
corridor, forms the spine of the complex. In a sweeping arc, the plaza becomes
an arroyo of stone and water ascending in terraces of light and sculpture. Nearer
to the building, sails form canopies. Palms, cypresses, mesquites, and other
trees are aligned in soldier course, reinforcing the arc of the shadow walk and
the formalist design approach.
Public artists Ned Kahn, Catherine Widgery, and Beth Galston
contributed art inspired by natural forms and processes. Kahn's Fragmented Landscape, a series of
perforated aluminum panels of transposed Ansel Adams photographs of sand dunes,
hangs as a shade screen over glass walls, shading the western exposure of the
performance hall. Widgery's Light Storm,
a series of 30,000 stainless steel discs embedded in pavement and migrating up
walls, appears to be quicksilver drops of an arid desert rain. Galston
constructed colorful translucent panels that function as railings on terraces
between the buildings. Sculptures by other artists create an informal sculpture
Martha Schwartz is as much a public artist as a landscape
architect. Using crushed glass mulch in blue, red, green, and yellow, cast
concrete, woven metal, and stone, she created a landscape that is eclectic and
playful. Asked if she was playing the role of public artist as well as
landscape architect, Schwartz responded, "I don't make the distinction. It's
impossible to say this is public art and this is landscape architecture or
architecture. I mean, what's the point of making the distinction anyway?"
With a handsome budget for materials, around $10 million for
landscape architecture according to Mesa's project engineer, a profusion of
surfaces and patterns weaves throughout the site. A constructed arroyo within
the shadow walk slashes the complex of buildings, organizing the pedestrian way
under sails of shade fabric and along stone gutters traversed by flowing water.
In another location, a waist-high water table offers a touch of cool water for
the fingertips and a delight for the eyes. Water pours out of a spillway on the
corner of Main and Center, beckoning passersby to notice the oasis environment.
The use of water in this public space may be considered wasteful by some, but
celebrating water in civic places appears to have had a high value for the
decision makers at the MAC. But one fountain element designed by Martha
Schwartz, an interactive rain cloud feature at the source of the arroyo, was
value engineered out after its estimated cost rose above $1 million. A large
utilitarian vault remains instead, giving this part of the project an
unfinished look.
Holding the line between elegance and pop art may have been
a challenge on such an ambitious project. The place teeters on the edge of
trickiness. Way finding is no easy task—distractions abound. The environmental
graphics, while elegant in execution, fall short of effectively guiding the
user through the complex. It's a challenge to understand where the front or
center of the MAC is located.
The project is a departure from prevailing landscape design
in the arid Southwest, where regionalism dominates landscape architecture
thinking. It is fresh in that regard and a welcome alternative. The Mesa Arts
Center project interprets the urban desert city as a twenty-first-century art
When asked if she had any regrets, Schwartz responded, "I
only wish that the city had completed the sculpture of the rain cloud at the
source of the arroyo waterfall." The utilitarian solution put in the rain
cloud's place does leave the impression that the symbolic arroyo begins with a
storm drain rather than a sculpture. "I hope they will complete it," Schwartz
added. "Other than that, it was a dream project. In the end, what really
mattered was whether people like it and use it."
But do people use it? Despite the design intentions, the
realization of a vibrant pedestrian oasis remains to be seen. On any given day,
the volume of pedestrians is a mere trickle. Except when events are scheduled,
it is not unusual to see the outdoor space completely devoid of people. At
times, the MAC feels like a postmodern ghost town. In fairness, this probably
has a lot to do with Mesa itself and the lack of surrounding density. But the design
may be partly to blame. In fact, the most difficult part of the MAC is that
plants and people are subservient to form. Shade sails, for example, seem to be
located in odd places that are more about design form than providing shade for
Keeping plants healthy in this context of art and rigid form
has also been a challenge. Specimen plants such as a rare boojum tree planted
in a sculptural but unsuitable raised concrete planter promptly expired.
Densely planted mesquite trees along the building frontage are exploding, and
with their canopies immediately adjacent to the shade structures and glass
walls of the buildings, they will require severe pruning or eventual removal.
Pine and cypress trees, planted in four-foot cutouts of hot, suffocating pavement,
were stressed and declining not long after installation. Palm trees add a
sculptural skyline element and appear to be doing a bit better under these
urban conditions, but they don't provide much shade. These problems might have
been avoided with a little more sensitivity to urban ecological factors in the
desert Southwest.
The MAC is a significant accomplishment and a fine place to
visit. It is also a departure from the arid cultural context in which it
resides. How well it stands the test of time remains to be seen.

LEWISBURG - A Bucknell University student group has received a $10,000 Projects for Peace grant from philanthropist Kathryn W. Davis.
The project, "Light the Way," will provide solar-powered lamps to students in rural Ninglang County in China.
Ninglang County is listed as one of the poorest counties in the country.
The sophomore students involved in the project are Sean Xu, a political science and economics major; Yili Jiang, a computer science and engineering major; Melissa Dunne, education and history; and Maxy Xiao, international relations.
"The main goal of the lamp distribution program is to improve students' study conditions," said Xu. "Many elementary schools in Ninglang County have no electricity so students can study only until the sun sets, and must go outside on cloudy or rainy days, a practice which can cause myopia."
Ninglang County is located in the northwestern part of Yunnan Province at a relatively high altitude, making solar energy abundant.
The solar-powered lamps can be purchased online in China for $11 each; the rechargeable batteries can store electricity for nearly eight hours.
"The project aims to help around 520 students," said Xu, who traveled to China last summer with Jiang to meet with elementary school principals to discuss the project, which will begin this summer during a 20-day trip.

I came across this Professor Richard Wiseman by luck, and I like what I read:
Personality tests revealed that unlucky people are generally much more tense than lucky people, and research has shown that anxiety disrupts people's ability to notice the unexpected. In one experiment, people were asked to watch a moving dot in the centre of a computer screen. Without warning, large dots would occasionally be flashed at the edges of the screen. Nearly all participants noticed these large dots.
The experiment was then repeated with a second group of people, who were offered a large financial reward for accurately watching the centre dot, creating more anxiety. They became focused on the centre dot and more than a third of them missed the large dots when they appeared on the screen. The harder they looked, the less they saw.
And so it is with luck – unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and as a result miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for.

Florida vs. South Carolina: What We Know About Skyler Mornhinweg and Why Winning May be More Fun Today Than Ever
It?s difficult to find many positives heading into Florida?s game with South Carolina on Saturday.
As has been discussed ad nauseam, 10 Gators are out with season-ending injuries. The team has lost four games in a row, including their first home loss since 2011. They are mathematically eliminated from the SEC East race. They are likely to miss bowl season for the first time since 1990. They have to go on the road to face No. 10 South Carolina.
And now, word is that redshirt freshman quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg will make the start against the Gamecocks as Tyler Murphy battles a shoulder injury.
Here?s what we know about Mornhinweg:
- He is the son of long-time NFL coach Marty Mornhinweg.
- He is from Philadelphia.
- He was Scout.com?s 61st-rated high school quarterback in the class of 2012.
- He has practiced quite a bit with the first-team offense since Murphy was initially injured during Florida's game against LSU on Oct. 12.
- He has never taken a snap in a college game.
- Head coach Will Muschamp said he is ?extremely accurate with the ball.?
- Offensive coordinator Brent Pease said, ?You hope you never really have to play with a redshirt freshman.?
That last quote probably says it all. Mornhinweg may be good down the road, but he is not ready an SEC road game in the middle of November.
How could this game be fun for Gator fans?
Well, being the underdog makes a victory even sweeter. When people think you're going to win, there's an expectation. Pressure.
But when no one expects you to win, the weight of the world is lifted off your shoulders. And people can relate to a gritty underdog story. That's why we love sports movies.
And it's probably going to take a Hollywood script for Florida to shock the Gamecocks on Saturday.
The Gamecocks defensive line is terrifying and one of the best in the country. Led by Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcy Quarles, they have 18 sacks on the season and will likely have some leverage against Florida?s patchwork offensive line.
The Gamecocks are 14-point favorites.
Mornhinweg will likely struggle. Connor Shaw has been on fire of late. The South Carolina defensive line will dominate. And Steve Spurrier might just be out for revenge. This one will be ugly.
South Carolina 34 Florida 13
What does everybody else think? Do the Gators stand a chance against the Gamecocks?

Chelsea Ritts, 16, a junior year this year at Altoona Area High School, hopes to take her driver's test sometime this month and get her license.
"I've had my permit since last September," she said. "It's going really good, actually."
Like most teenagers, she looks forward to the day she can drive herself so she doesn't have to depend on anyone else for a ride.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Altoona Area High School driving instructor Dave Gahagan watches junior Kimberly Letscher, 17, release the parking brake.
Before she took a driver's education class last semester at the high school, she was a little nervous about watching her speed on the road and worrying that she would drive too fast over the speed limit.
She also learned to avoid distractions like cell phones when she drives but, instead, pay close attention to everything around her.
"I scan everywhere and make sure I know what's going on," Ritts said.
That's one of the worries that is on the mind of Kimberly Long, 18, a 2012 graduate of Altoona. She admits to being a little nervous about getting her permit this summer and starting the process of getting a driver's license.
"When I start driving, I have to be aware about what's going on around me," she said. "I think our [driver's ed] class really helped me out, and I think I'll be a better driver."
That's certainly the hope of John Franco who teaches driver's education at Altoona. He doesn't want any student to become a statistic in the growing number of traffic crashes.
In 2010, the latest year that crash data is available from PennDOT, a large percentage of vehicle crashes involved teen drivers. Male drivers ages 16 to 20 were involved in 15,797 crashes while female drivers the same age were involved in 12,061 crashes.
Those numbers were one of the reasons state lawmakers passed the new teen driving law that took effect in December. According to those who supported the legislation, junior drivers will receive more comprehensive training and have fewer distractions by limiting the number of passengers that can be in the vehicle.
The law placed more requirements on the licensing process and increased the number of hours a teen must spend behind the wheel before the driving test to 65, including nighttime and poor weather driving. It also restricts drivers in the first six months of a junior driver's license to not have more than one passenger under age 18 who is not an immediate family member unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. If a teen's driving record is clear after six months, he or she may have up to three passengers under 18, but drivers and passengers under 18 must wear seat belts.
Franco thinks the new law is only another step to help keep teen drivers safe along with common sense and good training.
"Every little bit helps," he said of the changes.
Franco believes teens now are at more of a disadvantage than drivers a few decades ago because of the volume of traffic they face every day.
"There is so much more traffic on the roads now. The roads are so overcrowded," he said, adding that even minor fender-benders now cost considerably more than they did a generation ago.
The other problem that teens today face is being surrounded by more distractions that can take attention away from the road. Texting, cell phones, music, talking to friends - they all take away the focus and concentration needed to drive safely, he said.
The average teen sends more than 100 texts a day, according to a recent Nielsen report, which experts say equals one text nearly every 8.5 minutes of time a teen is awake.
Teens don't have the experience to multi-task and handle more distractions while they should be concentrating on the road, its conditions and traffic around them, Franco said. He also reminds students that two factors that often play into crashes - driving at night and driving with other teens in the car - can be avoided if possible.
In the meantime, teens have to be more alert and aware than ever when they are behind the wheel, he said. Although he knows his students get tired of hearing it, Franco continues to stress that teens focus on their driving.
"I hope it makes them be more cautious," he said. "As a parent and an adult, I think we need to keep badgering them about it: that they do know they need to concentrate and pay attention to their driving. It's a never-ending battle."
And at the end of the day, even when his own kids got frustrated with him repeating it, Franco said he's just thankful they survived those first few years of driving until they got enough experience behind the wheel to be successful and safe drivers.

MarA Basic Guide on Google's 7-Result SERP
Posted by admin | Comments Off
When it comes to SEO, Google is like that popular kid in high school that everyone wants to befriend. Google maintains its stronghold as the #1 search engine despite competition and even threats from social networks which are now being used by many as search engines.
Needless to say, the first page of Google is a piece of limited and coveted online real estate. It was already difficult to get into these top 10 spots, how much more if the number of slots is reduced to seven?
Yes, you heard it right and you've probably seen it as well. While this is far from being the norm, having just seven spots in Google's first page is definitely a development worth knowing for all SEO marketers.
The Different Types of Google's 7-Result SERP
According to SEOMoz, the 7-result SERP manifests in three permutations. At least, that's what marketers have observed for now and there could be more versions in the future.
1. The "Classic" 7-Result SERP
This is the most common form of the 7-Result SERP wherein the #1 ranked organic search result is displayed with a main link together with expanded site-links. Six other organic results are displayed ranked #2 to #7.
2. Six Organic Search Results Plus an Image Pack
Try searching in Google using the search phrase "pictures of dogs." You will be greeted by a collage of images ranked on top followed by six organic search results. This is how this version works.
3. Seven Organic Results + Seven "Local Pack"
There can also be rare instances wherein seven organic search results will be displayed and after the #1 ranked site, Google will show seven "local" results (with address and phone number and most possibly geo-tagged via Maps).
Industries Most Affected by the 7-Result SERP
As mentioned, the 7-Result SERP is far from being the norm in terms of Google's results pages, but there are industries or niches wherein this situation is more prevalent as compared to others. According to an experiment conducted by SEOMoz, the most affected industry is Travel and Tourism wherein 36.2% of the search results behave this way. This is followed by Retailers and General Merchandise, Sports and Fitness, Dining and Night Life and Vehicles/Transportation Services. The least industries are Health, Occasions and Gifts and Hobbies and Leisure.
SEO professionals who are handling hotels and tourism portals should be more keen to this development while those who offer health services can be a bit more relax and just wait for further developments.
Expanded Site-Links for the #1 Ranked Site
It is interesting to note that in cases wherein a 7-Result SERP was displayed, the #1 ranked website always had expanded site-links. In eight out of 10 instances, the number of expanded site-links accompanying the main link is 6, but it can be as few as one. The researchers at SEOMOz hypothesize that the number of site-links that are to be displayed in a 7-Result SERP is dependent on the number of pages on the site that is relevant to the search.
Seven is a Variable, Not a Constant
Here's the deal, it does not mean that once a search term yielded a 7-Result SERP that it will be the case every time you run a query using the same search term. There would be many times that the SERP would switch from a 7-Result to a 10-Result and vice versa. This is because Google has become smarter in its algorithm and is able to measure a site's relevance to a particular query using several factors such as brand signals, social signals and authority.
Further, it is important to note how the #1 listed site is displayed when Google shifts from a 7-Result SERP to a 10-Result SERP. As mentioned, when a site is ranked #1 on a 7-Result SERP, there's a 100% chance that it will have expanded site-links, minimum of one and maximum of 6. When Google displays a 10-Result SERP and the site is still ranked #1, expanded site-links won't be shown but the same site can occupy the succeeding spots (#2, #3, #4 and so on and so forth). Also, SEO marketers need to take note that in terms of domain diversity, a 7-Result SERP edges out a 10-Result SERP by a small margin. Does this mean that Google is trying to deliver more options to search engine users? That we won't know by now.
Context and Google Knowledge Graph
With all these things being said, the million dollar question remains: what triggers 7-Results SERP?This question can't be answered without delving into how Google ranks sites nowadays, especially with the addition of Knowledge Graph.
Google has took on the responsibility (as it should) to give search engine users the best SERP possible, and by "best" we mean the most relevant to the query, as if you're searching something in the real world. As all SEO professionals know, how Google ranked sites in the past is heavily reliant on semantics. In other words, keyword-heavy sites are usually ranked better.
Today, SEO marketers don't talk about keyword-heavy, but keyword relevant. For example, Google now understands that when a person searches for "Carlo's Bakery," he's most possibly searching for that famous New Jersey pastry shop so the site ends at the #1 spot (aside from the fact that the search term is an Exact Domain Match). Instead of displaying results showing all bakers in the planet named Carlos, Google is smart enough to somewhat hypothesize what the searcher's intent is.
So, does this mean that this will trigger a 7-Result SERP?
7-Result SERP is Still an Enigma
Frankly, the answer is no. The purpose of this discussion is to make you aware that 7-Result SERPs are being shown everyday and the basics about it. As of now, Google is yet to release a definitive guideline on how this will affect websites and what SEO marketers can do to get (or avoid) 7-Result SERPs.
The pertinent thing here is that you remain vigilant for developments and do some investigation and experimentation yourself. Try to find out what keywords may trigger a 7-Result SERP for your site or for your competitors. Take note of the outcomes and try to establish a pattern.
But as of now, all we can do is wait and see.

LOL lebrons hair may have been altered..
dammm i want all three!
looking like they should be in the Avengers lol but all are dope
i copped a pair of the KD V birch and they are some damn comfortable shoes and give my kobe 8 pythons are run for their money but these V elites look awesome and if there anywere near what i excpect them to be i will be copping
Word on the street is Nike is including the matching armor inside the box
Those Lebrons will be great for playing Half Life in.
dam the lebrons and kobes are nicee ima try to cop
Jesus, these picutres make them all look good lol. I love the kobes though, I know I'll be picking up the brons when a nice color way comes out
yoo why nike fix lebrons hairline lol hahahahhaha
they used to have 6 pages of pictures, now theres only 3???
Everyone liking the new Kobes, when they barely changed them at all, looks and tech. all thats new is the flywire and the carbon fiber, thats it. There isn't any flyknit on the shoe.
The KDs are clearly the most improved, which is why they're my personal favorite.
those kobe's are fireeeeeeeeeee
They still wearin less than Dwight does every game
I see everybody love da Kd's all of a sudden. When they really jus a low top version of da shoe he wears now... but they are dope. Da plate & heel comfort was a great touch... and those kobes wit da fly knit is too dope
I always love the sketches period. Prolly cuz I can't draw worth shit lol.
Those kd's tho...
I bet Kobe's are the most comfortable... Hopefully they will appear on Nike ID
will cop the KDs
Lmao why they had to photoshop Lebron's hairline tho...
The KD's and Kobe's are great, would love to see them in a different color way though. The Lebron just has too much going on.
Kobe 8 Elite additions
Kobe wins. Those a dope. Fly Knit on a basketball sneaker is new. The exposed Fly Wire is a bit over done, but I like it on this model. This is a must cop once we see the black out pair and hopefully he gets to use them.
Them KD's are TOUGH!
All they did was add flywire to kobe's. I think the Kobe's are still the best. The coloways look terrible on all 3 IMO
KD shoe looks the best of them all imo
sooooo essentially KD got a pair of kobes as his elite shoe...lol. and i agree that the lebron colorway is straight trash. hope to see better ones soon.
The elite KD's look better than the hightops IMO. Brons and Kobes are sick too.
I bet the suit costs more than the shoes combined.
The Lebron Elites are horrid...at least in this color...and i like the Lebron Xs....But the KDs and the Kobe's look dope hopefully not to much over what the original shoe cost for those
Is it just me or did they photoshop more hair onto LeBron in his shots?
Na I hate the lebron 10s but out of these three the lebrons are the best. The Kobe's didnt change at all WTH nike?
huge lebron fan but the KD's and Kobe's are far better. They did a horrible job on the LeBron's.
The KD 5 elite is the best imo

good band
I love the dead kennedys, I actually remember seeing this every time i looked fuck off YEARS AGO, which was a skit by the insane clown posse. I don't know if I clicked it, but I remember it, but this was a terrible animation, and squandered the Dead Kennedys name.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this is aimed at a fan base of the dks so if you dont like em FUCK OFF and go watch somthing else
Rated 2 / 5 stars
(title in work)
Yikes...never listened to the Dead Kennedys but I don't think I'll start either! The music was pretty terrible, but I won't let my review score reflect that. The animation in here was sub par. Mostly just rotations and tweens with a lot of reused animations throughout the song. Nothing interesting here.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
It made me giggle XD It really is crap? But it was interesting for the moment.

Looking for an alternative to carving pumpkins this halloween? Try to make these Halloween luminaries from Krylon instead! Using paints and craft pens these ghostly luminaries can come to life.
- Krylon Frosted Glass Finish - White (#9040)
- Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Paint - Bright White (#53517)
- Krylon Glowz® - Glow-in-the-Dark (#3150)
- Krylon Short Cuts® Hobby/Craft Paint Pens - Black (#SCP914)
- Round glass votives
- Newspaper
- Set up a spray area by covering a table or other work surface with newspaper. It helps to place an extra smaller piece of newspaper under each individual votive that you can use to rotate the individual votive while you spray. This is particularly useful if you are unable to move around your work surface freely.
- Begin spraying several light coats of Frosted Glass Finish on the lip of each votive. This area is the opening of the votive that will be resting on the newspaper. It is not necessary to saturate the lip as the idea is to create a "disappearing" gradation of white to add to the ghostly illusion. Let dry completely.
- Spray several light coats of Bright White on the bottoms of the votives until coverage is solid while concentrating on blending the white seamlessly with the frosted glass. Let dry completely.
- Spray entire exterior of all the vases with Glowz so that when your votives are not lit, they will still glow-in-the-dark, welcoming dusk. Let dry completely.
- Finally, freehand facial features (eyes and mouths) with a Black Paint Pen to give each ghost a personality!

Booz Allen Hamilton recently released a State-of-the-Art Report (SOAR) on Software Security Assurance on behalf of the Information Assurance Technology Analysis Center (IATAC); an analysis and consulting group sponsored by the US Department of Defense. I had seen the report before, but hadn't had the time to dive into it as its nearly 400 pages long. However, I had to travel for Microsoft business recently, and there's really nothing like a long plane ride to allow one to catch up on back reading!
Upon closer inspection, it is a fairly exhaustive work that seeks to provide a snapshot of the current state of the software security assurance field. I was pleased to note significant mentions of the SDL and of other work done by Microsoft. The report made some made some salient points about SDL – questioning its suitability for use in certain circumstances (e.g. policy-driven non-technical risk management scenarios). However, the authors were also quick to point out that SDL is a technical, software development process, and could be paired with other methods to meet government requirements.
For the record – we make no claims about the universal applicability of SDL – it's a constantly evolving, security-focused software development process – first, last and always. While the SDL is well suited to our work environment, we might have made different process tradeoffs in other environments. The important thing to focus on is process evolution – learning from customer pain, decisions made, and effectiveness of what you're doing – and using that information as a catalyst for change.
As with any report, there are points on which reasonable people will differ – however, it does a reasonably good job at presenting "one-stop shopping" for information on software security assurance. It's definitely worth a look.
I'd be interested in hearing other opinions…

But, we're talking about 1972. Black parents have just filed suit in federal court, so they've been waging a fight for quality education. White parents have been vowing to resist forced busing and you're mayor. Do you think that there's any way that you can head off racial confrontation?
I don't even see it coming, I suppose, and I'm as close to the scene or the center as you could be. Ah, everything has a genesis, and, and, and, and ethnic, uh, tensions, uh, neighborhood tensions, uh, have been a part of the fabric of Boston for 30 years. The Irish against the Yankees, that kind of tension between groups was not new. But, as it revolved around the issue of busing, or Black and White relationships, it really began for me, walking up School Street one day, when I was secretary of state, a fairly young man, not even planning to run for mayor. And there was a Black minister all by himself, walking around with a sign, about forced busing, about the school committee. It seemed quaint, uh, if not a little eccentric and I, like most people, passed it by. But from that began the focus on the school committee, its lack of quality education, and, and, and, and, then I became a part of it incidentally to my career by running for mayor of the city of Boston. And, and the issue in the campaign became not my qualifications, but Mrs. Hicks's, uh, leadership, exacerbation of, or, uh, however you define it, of the, escalating the tensions between the Blacks and Whites over the issue of the school committee, of which she was chairman. And, and, and the battle basically in the election came down to Mrs. Hicks saying, "You know where I stand," which was a code word for saying to the hearer, "I'm anti-Black, and we will not let them dislodge us from, from our neighborhoods or our schools or our points of power in, in the city government." It was a code word. Ah, I used to kid and say, "If Mrs. Hicks looks like, looked like Grace Kelly, she would've beaten me." She was not an attractive candidate, and I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, but not an attractive candidate, yet she came within 12,000 votes of winning. And the good government forces in the city, uh, lived outside of her, the city had been a place they had fled, yet it was part of their living experience, where they worked and they were without the right of vote, and they had to stand by and watch Mrs. Hicks almost win the election. To make a long story short, I won, with 98 percent of the, or 95 to 98 percent of the Black vote. Blacks did not know me. They were afraid of Mrs. Hicks. I was a, an unsecured refuge for them, for the moment. But once we got to that crest, and I began to govern the city, and bring Blacks into city government, it appeared that the issue was beginning to, tensions were beginning to alleviate itself. Blacks were becoming prominent in the city, in some small degree, I don't want to exaggerate that. But the Black community felt protected and progress. So when the suit was filed in 1972, it was the insistence by White liberals, Blacks, concerned citizens, fairness, for quality education. So the battle of, of racial hostility I didn't see coming with the fervor and the emotion that was to culminate three years later. At that time, it was just another step in the legal arena, and so it was only tangential to what I was doing as mayor in '72.

I wanted to express my grief and gratitude for the life and service of a young local man, Rudy Acosta, 19, who died in Afghanistan on Saturday.
Rudy was a part of our church and was loved by many. He was a graduate of Santa Clarita Christian School and proclaimed a strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He served our nation well, but more importantly, the Lord.
Our hearts break for the Acosta family, yet know that even as they grieve, they don't grieve as those without hope and confidence, because their hope and confidence is in the Lord Jesus Christ. Rudy now is with Christ, and the Santa Clarita Baptist Church family will continue to gather around this family with love, prayers and support as we look to Christ for true peace and comfort.
May each of us realize we are not guaranteed tomorrow, and we all must face eternity. Where will you go?

My family and I just got back from an amazing trip to California. My husband drove out by him self and stayed with friends and went to several national parks. Penelope and I flew out to meet him and we all stayed with friends in Ventura, California. We planned on just going to the beach and camping while we were there, but a last minute decision to go to Mammoth Mountain to snowboard, also landed us in Yosemite National Park. I have a buddy from high school that works there and the stars aligned perfectly for us to get a campsite.
Most of these pictures are from Yosemite and the last one is while camping in Leo Carrillo. But they all have a theme. Can you see it? Relaxation and Happiness!
These picture clearly depict why I was so adamant about getting on that damn plane. This family needs to travel. We are happiest while on an adventure, exploring new things, and not having a detailed plan. This was our first real trip since Penelope was born. I am so glad we went! Peter needed it so bad. He is like a new person. The person I fell in love with almost 8 years ago. Thank God! So this trip really made it clear to us, how we need to reprioritize our life and make sure that traveling is at the very top of the list.
I will do a more detailed post next week and share some tips about traveling with toddlers, but moral of the story, we are one happy family!

The 90s Are Back!
Rock it in grunge style
The fashion and beauty world functions in a cyclical way. For those of you who played it up during the 90s grunge heydays now get to relive the time as the angsty fashion is back!
No mention of grunge is complete without talking about the trademark makeup of the era. Dark, heavily made up eyes with deep colored lipstick is a staple if you want to channel the classic grunge beauty. Top it all off with the messy unwashed bedhead hairstyle. No, we are not suggesting that you actually stop washing your hair. Just muss it up and put in enough gel so that it looks greasy and uncombed. The whole point is to look laidback and casual.
Today's version of punk and grunge is a little more defined though. Where the 90s punk was full of attitude, tough, harsh and with a sulky expression firmly in place, the new improved version is more feminine and even though the attitude still exists, the sulk is no longer desirable.
The clothes definitely hark back to the days of Nirvana! Tartan shirts, ripped fishnet stockings, chunky Doc Martens and faded ripped denims make up the base of the whole 90s style fashion. Feathers, on the head or on clothes, also make a statement.
Make crop tops your best friend. Cable knit sweaters and alpaca wool cardigans hanging loosely off your shoulder are the height of casual elegance. If denims are not your thing, go for plaid skirts or leggings. If it's shirts you are wearing, then don't forget to add a knot at the tails. Florals, are best avoided, but if worn at all should preferably be in little doses and a touch dark. Add a leather jacket for edge. Layer all your clothes and keep them all one size bigger and you are set!
To effectively recreate this old favorite, look through the list to know which are the staples you need to stock up on:
- Tartans – In red and black or red and white
- Ripped jeans
- Ripped stockings but in a somehow very sexy way this time
- Tank tops
- Tattoos
- Dr.Martins
- Plaid shirts

Can anyone explain what happened? Why has the old format made a comeback? The new format seems to have the interesting content. Why are they independent and non-interacting?
Help, wgboxman1403 (the evil) is back. Where are the Fisherman exchanges that were informative, and on subject?
Are there 2 Yahoo Message Boards? Where is the new format?
This is a better format.
ASCO told us quite a bit. It told us that the conclusions from the Mayo Clinic (MF) pilot studies are intact, and the information published in NEJM is still valid. JNJ would not be focusing on "unmet medical needs" for IMET unless they had irrefutable trial and patient data in hand to satisfy both the EMA and FDA. JNJ is taking all the risks now from getting approvals, manufacturing, distributing and marketing IMET.
Geron is along for the very profitable ride, as JNJ does the heavy lifting with worldwide trials and seeking worldwide approvals. Geron chose well in finding JNJ to "captain the IMET ship". There is no question that IMET works and is safe. The questions are now about genetics, mutations, and IMET's reach beyond blood cancers as part of the "cancer moonshot" alone and in combinations.
We can all trust JNJ to push IMET to its limits medically. IMET saves lives.
Besides the fact that IMET "works" for "unmet medical needs", it has a very good safety profile. It was seriously challenged by the "liver-holds" (Geron's lack of proper data + Incyte's protection of JAK) but that is all well behind us. Juno's safety problems in some ways help IMET. IMET, with ODD approvals (FDA, EMA), is in line for advanced approvals. JNJ is in control with the data, and the strong medical considerations.
The "data-bank" at Janssen is bulging. When will we get the details? JNJ, by now, has a massive database and sufficient results and analyzes to confirm earlier MF data from Mayo clinic. These new trials were scheduled to last 24 weeks. When JNJ final releases their upgraded MF studies, they will be statistically meaningful (FDA & EMA compliant) and genetically mapped to define the most likely successes. The IMET road is ASCO-2016 to ASH-2016 with some important stops in-between. The focus is unmet medical needs that IMET can fill.
Open Label Study With Imetelstat to Determine Effect of Imetelstat in Patients w/ Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma
This study has been completed.
Geron Corporation
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
First received: November 16, 2010
Last updated: April 13, 2016
Last verified: April 2016
This is an open label Phase II study to determine the rate of improvement in response of patients with previously treated multiple myeloma to imetelstat alone or in combination with lenalidomide maintenance therapy. This study will include multiple myeloma patients who either have achieved disease stabilization or who have achieved at least a partial response (PR) but failed to achieve a complete response (CR) after cytoreductive therapy for multiple myeloma; ie, have detectable but non-progressing disease and will most likely relapse.
I continue to believe that JNJ is very serious and successful in conducting Imetelstat (IMET) trials, and that they have both the FDA's and EMA's encouragement and recognition (beyond granted ODD status) in developing IMET. The data is in place for full and advanced approvals to meet "unmet needs" (ASCO-2016) for blood cancer patients.
This is consistent with JNJ wanting to keep a competitive advantage, and maintain silence as long as possible, but it is very difficult for current blood cancer victims. ASCO has told us that everything is going as planned, and the good safety profile is being maintained for IMET (IMET for "unmet needs", with expanding trials and combination drugs). JNJ is being too conservative and too cautious, IMO. Let the "good news" roll.
JNJ is gathering data and results on a continuing basis with ongoing and new trials. JNJ has all of the data, all of the results and all of the conclusions. This part of the "cancer-moonshot" is intact. There is no longer any doubt about the importance of telomere length and the enzyme telomerase in the life of a cancerous cell. Imetelstat controls that relationship in blood cancers, and perhaps all cancers (continuing research). The relative safety of IMET puts it on the A-list for advanced approvals, active use in treating blood cancers (ET, MF, MDS, AML and others).
DHR will be the biotech company, will Pall as a major component. Fortive will be electronics and industrial (old Tektronic). They are following the Agilent (A) model: (A) is biotech and KEYS (original Hewlett Packard) is electronics, etc. A merger between Fortive and KEYS in the future makes some sense.
I know when you are positive about Scarlett and associates, the news must be important and good. This seems to be the case here.
JNJ (Janssen) controls IMET (trials, distribution, manufacturing, data, patients). Geron still owns IMET, but they are a junior partner. The FDA and the EMA have both granted ODD status to Jannsen for IMET. JNJ is completing, continuing and expanding IMET trials in number and scope worldwide. ASCO featured "unmet needs" (filled by IMET), and the "cancer moonshot". This we know.
JNJ, as the most respected company in the USA, certainly has the deep pockets to see IMET through many worldwide trials, for a variety diseases with and without other medicines. Money and time are no objects to them. IMET trials would only proceed, if they confirmed Mayo Clinic's early successes, and showed additional potential.
Patients' "unmet needs" are focusing and accelerating the process (ASCO-2016), and both the FDA and EMA are fully informed (ODD status). New approvals (beyond ODD) are coming soon (logic and unmet medical needs that saves lives), with new data and reliable statistics
ASCO is the best information available to the general public to date. JNJ has all of the answers. Nothing else matters. very much.
Imetelstat will not cure all cancers alone. Blood cancers are the first successes (ET, MF, MDS) and AML, in combination perhaps, is next in line. IMET's role in some other cancers seems to be an "enhancing effect" for other drugs (combinations, cocktails).
Review of ODD (Orphan Drug Designation) granted to Janssen for Imetelstat by both the FDA and EMA.
"The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) provides for granting special status to a drug or biological product ("drug") to treat a rare disease or condition upon request of a sponsor. This status is referred to as orphan designation (or sometimes "orphan status"). For a drug to qualify for orphan designation both the drug and the disease or condition must meet certain criteria specified in the ODA and FDA's implementing regulations at 21 CFR Part 316. Orphan designation qualifies the sponsor of the drug for various development incentives of the ODA, including tax credits for qualified clinical testing. A marketing application for a prescription drug product that has received orphan designation is not subject to a prescription drug user fee unless the application includes an indication for other than the rare disease or condition for which the drug was designated."
This is one level of approval. It is now time for new, advanced and full approvals since Imetelstat fills "unmet medical needs" in a safe and unique manner. Imetelstat should be available to all blood cancer patients, alone on in combination as a life saving medicine.
New Approvals are coming very soon (unmet needs, life saving, safe, effective).

"As a jazz violinist today, he has no peer"
– Michael Bailey, All About Jazz
In 2013, he was voted among the top three violinists in JazzTimes' "2012 Expanded Critics Poll". In August 2011, Christian was ranked as the #1 "Rising Star" violinist in the Downbeat Critics Poll. He was a nominee for the Jazz Journalists Association's "Violinist Of The Year" in 2011. In 2012, he received the Residency Partnership from Chamber Music America for his work in outreach with orchestral education programs. He regularly tours throughout Asia, Europe, and the U.S. as a leader of his own groups and a soloist with orchestras. Says All About Jazz, "as a jazz violinist he has no peer." The Minneapolis Tribune called Christian "arguably the most intriguing young violinist in jazz." According to the Chicago Reader, "Not since Jean Luc Ponty has a violinist ranged from pure classical to fuzz-tone rock to convincing jazz with such authority."

So what is the ideal upload and download speed for gaming, so that lagging and disconnects are at a minimal level and the registrations of hits is the quickest, on xbox live?
As i understand it Upload speed has to with the ability to host games etc, what else does Upload speed control in the game. How much does the Download speed affect the game and in what areas.
I have long been suffering from 1-2mps upload speed from my ISP and it is very apparent in my MP gameplay and so i need to know what is the ideal upload/download speed for gaming ......................
I'm on a 2MB download and 1MB upload and it works fine.
I would suggest at least 1 and 1 for optimal performance. I have 4 systems and they can all connect at the same time without any lag, but I have a 30/10 line in my house. You also will want to take into consideration any PCs you have running while they are on also if your console is wireless this will effect the speeds too.
One other thing you can try is rebooting your modem/router this will sometimes fix lag issues.
If you have upload speed in the 1-2 Mbps (megabits per second) range, you've got a GREAT upload speed.
Download (or downstream) speed is how fast data gets TO you.
Upload (or upstream) speed is how fast data gets AWAY from you (how fast you send data out).
Most folks have between 0.5 and 2.0 Mbps upload, and have anywhere from 2 to 50 Mbps download. As long as you have at least 5/1 (5 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up) you'll be fine.
That's not the whole picture, though. If someone else you're playing with has slower internet, they can't send the data as quick - so it doesn't matter how fast YOU are, the game is limited by the slowest person.
Example: Let's say you drive a Ferrari (=very fast internet). If your friend is coming over to visit, and he only has a bicycle (=slow internet), your Ferrari isn't going to make him get to your house any faster.
The other thing to watch is called Latency. It's the delay between when data is sent and when it is received. Most folks have a "round trip time" (time for a request to get from you, to the other end, and back) in the 50-70 ms (milliseconds; 1/1000th second) range. If you live far away from the data center of your ISP, it can go up to 90 ms or more. 100 ms is 1/10th of a second, so that's a noticeable delay. If you have fast internet and live close to the data center, it can be as low as 30 ms or less.
So really, there's not too much you can do - as it depends on the speed of the internet of ALL the people playing. Sometimes you'll be the fast one, sometimes you'll be the slow one. :(
Getting a faster connection CAN help latency, and can give you an advantage - but for the cost, it's normally not worth it. Doubling your internet connection speed may cost $30-$50 more per month, and may help your win/loss ratio by about 10% - so if you were winning 0.5% of the time, you'd go up to winning 0.55% of the time.
I hope that helps clear things up! My connection is 17/0.75, and my ping (the measurement of latency) is in the 60 ms range. I've never had an issue with my connection being the reason I lose. If you've got more upload and similar ping, I'd say you're in really good shape.
Anything higher than 2down/1up is perfectly sufficient for for all forms Xbox gaming.
hi, i have a 100 down and 5 up internet service
my xbox on a speed test using explorer have 5 down and 3 up is that normal
or is there a setting on the console that i can check
This is exactly what is happening to me. 30 mb download and 5 MB up. But with ie on Xbox says 6 Mb down and 5mb upload. How do I fix this as well? Thank u
You can not perform an accurate speedtest for your Internet connection, (bandwidth) using Internet Explorer app on your console. I would refer to speedtest and pingtest using a computer to test your connectivity.
My computer and iPhone run the speeds it should. Xbox doesn't run right
Its an app, on a console. Its architecture and algorithm is not design to process that amount of data at once.Do you have a real issue?
right from xbox.com, Microsofts speed requirements for certified xbox live experience...
Download: 3Mb/s
Upload: 5Mb/s
Ping: Less than 150 Milliseconds.
Now the average person will probably not have 5Mb/s upload.
My Blog: http://www.xboxlowdown.com
My download is 384mbps and upload is 570mbps

text: LOL! Nothing like a good fart problem for a laugh. How are you cooking the eggs? I find I can eat 6 scrabbled eggs without out any "extra bad smell"...but hard boiled eggs will cause that sulphurous smell....if I soft boil them (so they are still somewhat liquid in the middle) I don't have the issue.

No trip to the Panhandle is complete without going to the Palo Duro Canyon to see the outdoor musical "Texas."
And there's nothing like a thunderstorm to make the experience totally complete.
Wednesday night's storm in the canyon, which lasted about 30 minutes, wasn't as severe as the night before, when the amphitheater was flooded to the fourth row. But it was still quite an experience.
Gusts before the storm below part of the set down and within minutes, the performance stopped while the storm came through.
The musical resumed after about 30 minutes and the performance was great, as usual.
A tradition at "Texas" is to award a triangle used to call the cowboys to dinner to those who traveled the longest distance to see the performance.
In 44 years, we were told, no one from the Continental United States has won. And Wednesday night wasn't an exception. The Panorama staff and their translators each received one for their 7,000 mile journey.
The only problem, I later learned, was that there was someone in the audience from Moscow.
The staff at Texas also gave her a triangle, but didn't recognize her at the intermission like our Ukrainian visitors.
When I told them about this, I think they were quite pleased because it's not often, I said, that Ukraine wins something over Moscow and Russia! It was a good night, even with the rain.
Executive Director and "Texas" Producer Bill Anderson gave a great back stage tour and introduced some of the cast to our guests.
Also, they were the first visitors from Sumy and Kyiv to see "Texas," so they were able to put a pin on those two cities on the map in the courtyard of amphitheater.
