I heard this on NPR yesterday and nearly drove off the road (start paying close attention around 3:15).
Then, I saw this on Stucco's site;
God, save us from your followers!
It's not McCain that makes me almost ashamed sometimes to be voting for him. It's not even Palin. It's these types of people.
Though I'm sure Obama has some real pieces of Samsonite voting for him, too.
Welcome to my world.
I can't….people like this…it's just…Mrs. Chili, really, is there anything left to say about people like this? People who spout these type of ignorant views, well, I just throw up my hands at them. They want to vote according to their religious beliefs? Well, lady, according to the Bible, you are to be submissive to your husband and vote how he wants you to. According to the Bible Palin shouldn't even be on the ticket because she would be put in a position of leadership over men. According to their Bible, wouldn't Jesus be a socialist? I mean, he distributed loaves and fishes to EVERYONE, he healed EVERYONE, he was for compassion and understanding for EVERYONE. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, when people in 2008 say Socialist, what they really mean is "He's Black".
I could go on and on about the contradictions between their Bible and their daily lives but I think their hypocrisy is so blatant (except to them) that I'd just be preaching to the choir (oh no! I'm not allowed to preach!!!).
Dingo said it quite well so I'll just add a tidbit.
She wants respect for her religious beliefs but she has none for the religious beliefs of others.
"His dad was a Muslim"
Hey lady, in the United States the Muslim houses of religion are tax free just like the Christian houses of religion!
Hey lady, do you know there is a Muslim in congress? Also when he was sworn in he placed his hand on a Quran, NOT a Bible.
I'm so tired of these religious nuts who wish to force feed the rest of us.
What gets me is the statement that the election isn't about policy for this woman. For her, its about the religious views of the candidates. The election should be ALL about policies!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, when people in 2008 say Socialist, what they really mean is 'He's Black'."
This assertion is at least as ignorant and closed-minded as anything this woman has to say.
Really, Bo? When people like this woman, and oh, almost any other interview or video you see where people are proclaiming that they don't want to vote for him because he's a socialist (when they don't even know what that word really means) and can state no other reason, well, if you don't see the underpinning of racism there, then you need to look at your civil rights history and labels applied to African Americans who had the audacity to fight for equality. Same rhetoric, same sentiment.
Scary. That chick is scary.
ah, the age of reason has arrived
Yes, really, Dingo.
The involuntary redistribution of wealth is one of the defining aspects of socialism. When Obama's proposed tax policies seek to make even more absurd an already incredibly unbalanced system in which the bottom half of taxpayers are already paying nothing, then yeah, I call that socialist, no matter what color, sex, or whatever the candidate is.
I suspect that should McCain win, we'll endure months of national flagellation and hand-wringing at just how rotten we all still are. Indeed, the evilly insidious and insidiously evil "underpinning of racism" shall be there, wherever you care to look for it.
And God help us. If you helped put McCain in office–if you weren't sufficiently audaciously hopeful and hopefully audacious–then you might as well don a white hood.
I am voting against a down-the-line hard left candidate. I am voting against a candidate whom I believe will further damage the most reliable engines we have for economic recovery: individuals pursuing their self-interest. I am voting against a candidate whom I believe to be dangerously naive and unserious on foreign policy.
To you, I am only voting against a black man.
If you really believe what you're saying, then the race problem is yours, not mine.
Mrs. Chili: It's one hell of a ridiculous jump from this woman, and what you've written in this comment, to ""Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, when people in 2008 say Socialist, what they really mean is 'He's Black'."
I have serious problems with that assertion. Considering that you know me to be neither racist nor careless with my political positions, I'd like you to have serious problems with that assertion as well.
Someone who says and believes that is no more desirous of legitimate discourse than the woman in this video clip. Respect for intellectual diversity can be indicated in many ways, but screaming "racist!" out of the gate isn't one of them.
The woman in that video is most certainly a narrow-minded, intolerant bigot.
Bo and Mrs. Chili are two of the people I know personally in this world (my father would have been the 3rd) who are as far from bigoted and intolerant as you can get.
Thinking that policies are socialist or have a tendency toward socialism, does not make one racist. I think that Bush and Paulson have executed the closest action to socialist policy I have ever seen when the federal government bought ownership equity in private banks a few weeks ago. Neither one of them are democrats; neither of them are black.
Again, take a look at what socialism really is. And, as I suggested in my earlier comment, review your civil rights history and look how claims of socialism have been used to label African-Americans. Look at how the McCain-Palin ticket has appropriated the rhetoric and implicitly allowed their supporters to adhere to their conscious and unconscious racists beliefs without having to confront them.
I could cite stats and figures, examples and anecdotes but being that you are not careless with your political positions, but I don't have the time and I assume in your research you have seen them as well.
We are going to have to agree to vehemently disagree on this.
'seester: Thanks; most pleased to be in such company. Backatcha, naturally.
Mrs. Chili: Thank you, and I do agree with you. We have two bigots here, unambiguously.
There are some meaningful distinctions with the words you list. "Unpatriotic" is pretty much just a snarl word with mostly subjective meanings, but "socialism" and "communism" mean things. I believe I have a fair grasp of each and know what they mean, but I must confess I'm operating at a disadvantage, because I'm not privy to Dingo's super-secret racism-belying meanings.
Dingo: You are now babbling a lot of nonsense in a feeble attempt to deflect attention from the fact that you called me a racist for no reason whatsoever, and then didn't much care for it when I called you on it.
I will say, again, that what you are doing is exactly what the woman in this video is doing. It is the same. You have your warped coziness in which anyone using the word "socialist" in opposing Obama is a racist, and said coziness is of similar intellectual depth to this woman not liking his name or his parents' religions. (Hold your thumb and index finger a quarter of an inch apart; 'bout that deep.)
Label it vehement disagreement if it helps you get to sleep.
Now look who's babbling nonsense. Bo, whatever. Call it what you will. Say what you will. I'm getting ready to go take a nap. I guess vehement disagreement agrees with me.
I'm sure we can find equally ignorant people who are voting for Obama simply because he's black with no thought about his positions.
I stand with Bo that the word socialism has a real meaning and it isn't a racist code word among conservatives.
I'm glad this woman isn't calling the shots in this country but she does have a right to vote according to her own interests, no matter how ignorant we may feel they are.
Just like this woman I'm supporting McCain / Palin but for none of the same reasons.

What is Stir Up Sunday?
The Sunday before Advent, which this year falls on 22nd November 2009, is known as Stir Up Sunday. This day is traditionally the time to make your Christmas Pudding, Christmas Cake or your Mincemeat for Mince Pies.
Making your pud or cake early means it really does benefit from all this maturing. The flavour of the spices mellow and deepen, the fruits plump up and soften.
Billington's Adds Depth of Colour and Flavour
Locking in rather than refining out the natural molases Billington's unrefined cane sugars are perfect for such recipes. You really can taste the difference, whether you use Unrefined Dark Muscovado for your Christmas Pudding because it has a rich taste and adds real depth, or Unrefined Light Muscovado in your Mince Pies to add creamy fudge flavour, Billington's is perfect.
Family Sharing
Once you've got all your ingredients together, and as you are creating your materpiece, get each member of your family to take turns in stirring the mixture. As they do, they can each make a wish. Don't forget to add your old six pence or a silver charm (wrapped in a piece of greaseproof paper)

The Marker Duke EPF Ski Binding is the go-to for aggressive freeriders. The Marker Duke has continued to dominate the backcountry, sidecountry, and inbounds; anywhere the pow is deep, lines steep, or the snow is variable. With incredible elastic travel, the Duke is reliable when and where you need it most on big freeride lines. If you can only have one pair of skis or want a rugged binding to crush backcountry and sidecountry hucks, grab the Duke. The adjustable AFD is even compatible with Alpine and AT lugged boots. The Marker Duke EPF Small Ski Bindings accommodate 265-325mm boot sole lengths.
Gliding AFD All Marker bindings are equipped with a moveable AFD (anti friction device), allowing a precise release, unhindered by dirt, snow, and ice buildup.
Triple Pivot Elite Toe With a horizontally oriented spring, the Triple Pivot Elite Toe provides the highest energy absorption to reduce the risk of early release. The secure purchase on the boot lug optimizes power transmission and allows for durable, high energy use.
Inter Pivot Heel Superior holding power for all types of freeskiing. The design focuses power in the direction of the boot sole, increasing elasticity. The overall design creates optimum power transmission.
0˚ / 7˚ / 13˚ Climbing Aid Three climbing positions - 0˚, 7˚, and 13˚ which can be easily accessed with the ski pole, even in an unstable standing position.
Backcountry Comfort The patented, ergonomically shaped lever under the boot allows comfortable opening and closing. The position prevents the binding from unwanted release and provides unparalleled security against an undesired "telemark" situation.
Extended Power Frame (EPF) Bigger, better, and 28% wider. The screw pattern is 10mm wider than before, providing incredible power transmission. Extended Power Frame is designed for skis 89mm and wider.
Hollow Tech Fiber-reinforced frame provides impressive stability and is yet very light, thanks to a hollow, gas-injected construction.
Power Width Design The original Marker breakthrough for wider freeskiing skis, based on a 76mm platform. Wider connection brackets create better power transmission for all Marker Royal Family and Tour F10 bindings.
Magnesium Parts Magnesium's light weight and high strength make it perfect for high-end bindings.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
Alpine / AT Compatible Compatible with Alpine (ISO 5355) and AT (ISO 9523) soled boots

What our customers think of us!
The following comments were submitted by our customers when asked to provide feedback on our service. In the interest of transparency, we present these comments as provided except that personally identifiable information has been hidden unless the reviewer has requested their full name be included with the review. No unfavorable comments have been removed.
Very friendly and great progress seen with our child! Fun learning environment!
Sometimes the communication lacks
At Sylvan, we feel communication is of the utmost importance, so we meet with each family on a monthly basis. We also welcome any suggestions, questions or concerns at any time in an effort to address any possible issues. We meet with classroom teachers to discuss our findings as well as any needs they feel the students might have that would be appropriate for our individualized attention. Tackling a child's educational needs should be a team effort.
Our entire experience with Sylvan has been above and beyond expectations. From our first communication we have felt welcome and communication has been clear. Goals are realistic and our child is feeling accomplished! She enjoys all her mentors and is excited to go. We couldn't ask for a better environment!
Tailored to each child and progress reports. Online access
Stop pitching to sign up for more classes. At the parent teacher meetings, don't be in a rush to get the parent's signature on the performance review form. Take time to discuss the child's strengths and areas of improvement. I get the sense that the coordinator is trying to tick off the items in a check list. Also, be warm and friendly in your interactions.
The people we have met at Sylvan are very knowledgeable about teaching and what seems to work best for our son. All the Sylvan employees that we have worked with are eager and happy to help in all matters.
Sylvan needs to offer more discounts to their long-term customers. At ~$50/hour, it becomes very cost prohibitive to continue the service when your child is trying to meet 2 - 4 hours per week, e.g. $100-$200/week. Investing in a child's education is the best investment someone can make; however, it has to be reasonable. At $50/hour, it is more expensive than college credit hours.
There were a few minor issue I had logging into the website and my step son had some issues too. Also, he missed two classes and the only option to make up the work was for his to do two 1 on 1 sessions at an additional cost. I think the 1 on 1 sessions should have been offered at a discounted cost (maybe 50%). Given that it's summer, you would expect that kids will miss some sessions.
helpful learning math
Good teacher to pupil ratio. The structure keeps our grand-daughter's interest in learning. She is showing improvement.
The homework help is wonderful.
very accommodating with schedules
some of the kindest people I've met are employed there
my daughters are excelling because of the support
The friendly people and great service!
I would appreciate the opportunity to speak directly with my child's teacher.
The lessons seems to work especially for my daughter. My son seems to be a slower learner but he is learning.
Flexibility in changing schedules and keep us up to date on the progress of our daughters learning
The staff. My son has not always been very open to learning, or help of any kind and he enjoys attending his sessions at Sylvan.
SAT and ACT Prep Courses are taught by a dedicated staff who are trying very hard to stay ahead of the testing changes of the College Board.
We like the fact that Sylvan gives us lots of detailed feedback on what our son is doing and more importantly, how he is doing. We also like that besides academic skills, Sylvan also teaches organizational and social skills. So far it has been a great program.
It is too early to say If we would recommend Sylvan to a friend. We would like first to see Salomé's SAT results to confirm that Sylvan helps her to improve.
Based on Salomé's feedback, some teachers are better than other or at least, some teachers are a better fit for Salomé. For instance, Salomé enjoy working with Carla. She is good at adapting to the pace of the student. Rebecca goes at a slower pace. So as a result, Salomé prefers to work by herself. Thanks for asking for our feedback.

- - URGENT please, need specific's re: diagnostics (fear Hemangio), Vet tomorrow a.m. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/456642-urgent-please-need-specifics-re-diagnostics-fear-hemangio-vet-tomorrow-m.html)
URGENT please, need specific's re: diagnostics (fear Hemangio), Vet tomorrow a.m.
So. I think Gator is very sick. We have an appointment Wed. June 4 in the a.m. As noted in title, I fear the worst. Not sure if it's b/c of everything I have read here regarding HS and I am seeing similarities (or maybe I'm wrong), maybe I am just being neurotic/paranoid and this is an infection.
Naturally when I booked the app. the Vet wasn't available to discuss what testing I could be looking at, as well $$$ for.
I did ask the receptionist to book a time slot that could include x-rays as I don't want to reschedule for. They don't anesthetize for (that's a plus)
I got a cup off her to bring in a urine sample.
First, I know I will need to do a CBC, and Chem:
What specifically should be the add-on to this, CBC + reticulocytes (?) - what abnormality could be found in a CBC?
What Chem screen? In anyones exp. what abnormality would be found in this panel that may point to cancer?
On to x-rays. Looking from bowel to heart (lungs I am concerned with, and/or heart as symptoms could be related). How many need to be taken?
I do NOT have an unlimited amount of money. I have to be extremely careful for what and on what I am paying for. Choices have to be made and I don't know this vet and I don't want to get caught up in emotion at the time as I have in past. I could be wiped out ($$$), find nothing and have nothing for further tests.
Thank you in advance
P.S. I'm scared
Carmspack Gus
Oh, right.
He is having breathing problems in morning, sounds like fluids (seemed to go away after a.m. walk)
Monday, a couple hrs. later the breathing was heavy through nose/throat (if that makes sense), as in I could hear it w/o having to put my ear to him
nausea - no vomiting, but seems like slight regurgitation or reflux (with or w/o food), swallowing and licking lips.
No exercise tolerance, seems weak, in pain.
Sometimes lethargy when time to go out.
There's more, but can't think
Still excellent appetite, Still rambunctious greeting at door.
Still wants to kill kitties:rolleyes:
That face, when they put their ears back and look at you sad, when it is usually the happiest time (like going for walk) for him
For Jaeger, we did bloodwork and a urinalysis, which both came back clear and showed no signs of cancer. We then moved on to the ultrasound and chest X-rays, and that gave us the diagnosis.
I will keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing too serious.
If he is so sick and is having trouble breathing and seems to be in pain, why are you waiting to take him in? I would have taken him in immediately.
Also, if you have limited funds, maybe you should look into getting a credit card. I got a credit card for emergencies incase something ever happened to one of my animals, it has a $10,000 limit.
He is aging, arthritis could be the pain I'm seeing along with joint damage from the pit bull attack a month ago. Comes and goes. It's also extremely hot and humid and in past 3 yrs has shown lethargy on walks in heat waves.
If I could, I would. Life.
Our first shepherd girl many moons ago had this cancer. She was my running partner and started limping. I brought her in thinking she hurt her leg running. The vets first thought a tick disease. She had pale gums. Xrays didn't show anything, blood work was ok. Ultrasound showed a small mass in spleen/liver.
We scheduled a surgery and when we brought her in she had lost weight in just a few days. When they operated they found it had spread all over and we put her to sleep then.
She didn't show lethargy nor did she have heavy breathing. Just the limp, and pale gums.
I hope your pup is fine.
sounds like chf
No pale gums here. Not yet.
Something else, not sure if significant. There are a few area's on his skin that have these little tiny rust coloured dots. At first thought some type of parasite, not itchy or bothered by. Not raised, or scabby, not flea dirt...dime size area, but in 3 area's that I found, shoulder area.

Keeping an Online Blog for Book Promotion
Many famous authors keep online blogs for book promotion. It is a standard in the publishing industry. Arguably, that was the motivation behind the peak of the online blog communities. In the margin of the best blogs was always a sales URL. Webpages with sales links became cheap to create, (they are now only 3 dollars on GoDaddy, and in some formats free) and people's daily musings became the lure to check out sales links. Facebook, Twitter, and new blogging formats took away much of the net traffic from old style blogs like Livejournal. However, I still enjoy posting to my Livejournal for old time's sake in addition to the new social media types. Authors all over the net still keep sales links, and many of them are very successful authors like R.R. Martin and Neil Gaiman.
R.R. Martin got into doing Livejournal in 2005, and still keeps his account active. I am on Livejournal at http://electricnight.livejournal.com/ his Livejournal at http://grrrm.livejournal.com/ Livejournal used to be the only game in town for streaming updates, and now has to compete with Facebook and Twitter. Facebook does the odd thing of limiting people to only 5000 friends (it used to only be 1000). After that they can only "like" your page, and very few of your page updates get seen unless you pay for promotion. Twitter has no limits, and shows all posts which in some ways explains the popularity. Martin's Twitter is at https://twitter.com/GeorgeRRMartin_ and I am not against the branch out I am on the Twitter at https://twitter.com/PoeDaughter7 . However, his love of Livejournal has been long lasting. Wired commented on it in the article "George R. R. Martin's 14 Greatest LiveJournal Entries" BY LAURA HUDSON http://www.wired.com/2014/05/george-rr-martin-best-livejournal/ Where it mentions his comments section was turned off for a very long time. One day he turned it on, and had hundreds of comments in an hour. Many people were seeking political debates. This is the strange blessing, and curse of writing in the Internet age. You can get fast feedback on what you do. Perhaps much faster than you were expecting, and can deal with in a day. My favorite journal was when he locked himself out of the house. Which seemed to be every other entry, and the guy really needs a spare set of keys hidden somewhere. I love many authors that blog, but his honesty is really fun on a bad day.
My next most loved blog to stalk has got to be Neil Gaiman at http://journal.neilgaiman.com/ His journal also hails back to the Livejournal hey day, and can in fact be an RSS feed in the Livejournal service (which I still do). He is also a lively poster on Twitter here https://twitter.com/neilhimself where he posts a great deal of his charity work with UNICEF, and of course book sales information. In addition he posts his love of buying black boots, and flying all over the world. I was brushing up on both these author's posts because I am buying "Rogues" a book of short stories by both RR Martin and Neil Gaiman this week. It is very affordable, and easy to buy on Amazon.com.
These two blogs are a bit of a blog inspiration to me. I have kept personal journals since I was a kid, and still like to journal online. Some people have questioned why I write long journals with so many social media sources out there that don't show your posts for a long time. Isn't it creepy when people read your older posts? However, if you like to write you WANT your ideas to have permanent placement and public readability. That is part of the writing drive when it is real in your heart. Long journals do still have a place in the social media age.

Brandi Runnels is a model best known for her time spent in WWE as a diva and announcer. Brandi has a BA in Communications from the University of Michigan. After graduation she worked in TV news as a reporter for a FOX station in Michigan. Soon after that she moved to FLorida to pursue her modeling dreams. Brandi has been featured in multiple Ads for BudLight and Budweiser, Shirley of Hollywood (of which she won their first ever Super Model Search) and Maxim Magazine. She's been noted as G4 Network's hottest woman on the web. She was also a top 10 contestant in Maxim's Hometown Hotties search a few years back. Brandi was studying for a Masters in TV News Journalism at the University of Miami when WWE called her to their roster of Divas. She worked under the ring name Eden Stiles. She left WWE recently and opened Confection Swimwear Inc. She designs and sells killer bikinis that are unique, beautiful and perfectly priced. (www.Confectionswimwear.com) Brandi just married Cody Runnels, better known as WWE's Cody Rhodes.

How did you get involved with WWE?
I was studying for my Masters at UM and randomly got a call from an agent that WWE was interested in me. I was taken aback. My whole family had been huge fans in the late 80s. At the time I was feeling like there was something out their for me that I was missing and just hadnt found yet. WWE was that thing. As a former athlete I had missed competition badly and being in the ring was the most amazing feeling. It was truly a dream come true for me. Exactly what I needed in my life at the time, and hey, if it weren't for WWE I would never have met my husband. I kind of owe them everything!
Photo credit | Macala
Will we ever see you back in WWE?
Thats a great question. WWE is near and dear to my heart. My husband, brother in law and father in law all have ties to the wrestling business, I have nothing but respect and love for WWE. When I trained in the past I absolutely loved it and it is something that I miss a lot. So with that said...who knows what the future holds?
Photo credit | Nicovision
What is your favorite photo shoot that you've ever done?
By far my shoots with Maxim. As one of the top ten hotties a few years back Maxim flew us all to Las Vegas and put us up at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was an amazing week! Amazing shoots with superb photographers in the most jaw-dropping suites I've ever seen. In one shot I even got to bowl in sexy attire. What could be better than that?
Photo credit | Macala
What inspired you to design and sell swimwear?
Having been a swimwear model for all of these years, I've always had a hard time finding swimwear that was attractive, had a nice fit AND was fairly priced. Everyone can't afford to buy the super high end suits, but everyone does deserve the chance to feel sexy and beautiful in their swimwear. My line is for those girls who are looking for all of those qualities without having to break the bank.

Whats the one thing you have wanted to do with your career that you haven't yet?
The one thing I'd like to do is actually in the works right now. Its something that I cant go into detail about yet but it's happening SOON. I am immensely excited about it and I have a LOT of hard work ahead but I'm ready for the challenge and just excited to be living this dream. So stay tuned if you want to find out what that is all about!

Stock Picks: Disney, NYSE, Pulte, Baidu
Walt Disney Co.: BofA Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen maintained a neutral rating on shares of Walt Disney Co. (DIS) on Feb. 10, noting that although the world's biggest media company has "many moving pieces," it was able to beat Wall Street expectations for fiscal first-quarter earnings.
After the close of trading Feb. 9, Disney reported fiscal first-quarter profit that beat analysts' estimates as TV revenue rose and theme-park results stabilized. Net income totaled $844 million, or 44 cents a share, compared with $845 million, or 45 cents, a year earlier, when a gain on the sale of TV stations boosted results.
In a note to clients, Cohen said that Disney showed better than expected results across nearly all segments in the first quarter. She cited "surprising" studio profitability; a "solid" cable revenue gain of 8%; improving advertising; "modestly better" underlying theme park attendance; "sluggish but sequentially improved" consumer products sales.
Cohen increased her fiscal 2010 earnings per share (EPS) estimate by one cent to $1.93, reflecting the addition of recently acquired Marvel Entertainment into her earnings model.
"Although long-term economic improvement drives upside to DIS' consumer businesses, near-term challenges remain," the analyst wrote. "We see balanced risk/reward at current trading levels."
NYSE Euronext: Credit Agricole Securities analyst Robert Rutschow upgraded his rating on shares of NYSE Euronext (NYX) to outperform from underperform on Feb. 10.
On Feb. 9, NYSE Euronext, the world's largest owner of stock exchanges, reported higher fourth-quarter profit than the average analyst estimate, helped by expense cuts and an increase in derivatives trading. Fourth-quarter profit excluding some items was 58 cents a share, beating the average forecast by 21 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Net income was $172 million, compared with a loss of $1.34 billion a year earlier.
Rutschow said in a note to clients that following the "good" fourth-quarter results, he was raising his 2010 earnings per share (EPS) estimate for NYSE to $2.15 from $1.85 and his 2011 EPS projection to $2.30 from $2.05 to reflect better expense control, good volumes at the company's Liffe European derivatives business, and more stability in cash businesses.
"While we see several headwinds facing NYSE including pricing pressure in most businesses, duplicate costs for new data centers, and market share pressure, the valuation is at a point where we see little downside and some favorable aspects," Rutschow wrote. He said he was encouraged that Liffe will benefit from turmoil around the European debt crisis.
Rutschow said he sees greater that 14% upside to his $27 price target, and views NYSE as a "somewhat defensive" play given a 5% dividend yield and earnings benefits from higher volatility.
Pulte Homes Inc.: Raymond James analyst Buck Horne reiterated a market perform rating on Pulte Homes (PHM) on Feb. 10. Pulte, the largest U.S. homebuilder, reported its 13th straight quarterly loss on Feb. 9 as a drop in market value after its purchase of rival Centex Corp. spurred a $563 million impairment charge. The net loss in the fourth quarter narrowed to $116.9 million, or 31 cents a share, from $338.2 million, or $1.33, a year earlier.
Horne said in a note to clients that Pulte's reported fourth-quarter loss of 31 cents per share was below his 72 cents EPS estimate and consensus expectations of a 19 cents loss. He said that key variances vs. his earnings model were $563 million of unanticipated goodwill impairments; $280 million of land charges (vs. his $100 million estimate); and a
larger-than-expected fourth-quarter tax benefit of $800 million (vs. his $450 million projection) as a result of the reversal of previously reserved deferred tax assets.
The analyst raised his 2010 loss per share estimate to 55 cents from 90 cents, mainly reflecting lower projected impairment charges. He maintained his EPS estimates of 40 cents for 2011 and $1.35 for 2012. "With PHM shares trading at a premium to peers while market share appears to be slipping, we reiterate our Market Perform rating," Horne said.
Baidu Inc.: Kaufman Bros. analyst Aaron Kessler maintained a hold rating on shares of Baidu Inc. (BIDU) on Feb. 10. Baidu, owner of China's most popular Internet search engine, reported on Feb. 9 that fourth-quarter net income rose 48% to 427.9 million yuan, or 12.27 yuan per share, from 288.7 million yuan, or 8.31 yuan, a year earlier. Revenue increased 40% to 1.26 billion yuan.
The company also issued a first-quarter revenue forecast that topped analyst expectations after Google Inc. (GOOG) said it may exit the world's largest Web market. Baidu said revenue will rise to between 1.2 billion yuan ($176 million) and 1.24 billion yuan in the period ending Mar. 31.
Kessler said in a note to clients that Baidu reported "modest" fourth-quarter revenue and EPS upside driven by stronger growth in advertising customers and better-than-expected adoption of its Phoenix Nest keyword auction platform.
Due to the better-than-expected fourth-quarter results and improved outlook, Kessler increased his first-quarter estimates for gross revenue to $180 million from $167 million and for pro forma EPS to $1.62 from $1.46. He also hiked fiscal 2010 forecasts for gross revenue to $920 million from $888 million, and for pro forma EPS to $9.55 from $9.15. For 2011, he raised his projections to $1.275 billion and $13.47 from $1.162 billion and $13.02, respectively.
He also increased his price target on the shares to $540 from $470. He said he maintained his hold rating as he believes the shares are fairly valued.

Under Stanfield's tutelage, the Blazers have continued to improve every year and 2006 proved to be their most successful season yet, capped off by winning the 2006 Conference USA Cross Country Championship. UAB placed three runners in the top 10 and four athletes on the All-Conference USA team. Whitney Mays, Elizabeth Hilligoss, Katie Stepp and Kristina Olsen all earned spots on the all-conference squad. In addition, Stanfield was honored as the C-USA Coach of the Year for leading the Blazers to such heights in `06.
In 2005, UAB's Elizabeth Ambrus became the first UAB runner to capture the individual title at the Conference USA Cross Country Championships, leading the Blazers to a second-place finish at the championships. UAB's second-place performance as a team is the best in school history. Additionally, Ambrus was named first team all-conference for her performance. Sophomore Elizabeth Hilligoss earned a spot on the All-Conference USA second team, while Whitney Mays and Jakia Williams were named third team all-conference. Williams was also named Freshman of the Year by the conference making her the second straight Blazer to receive the award, as Hilligoss was the 2004 winner. The Blazers then tallied their best-ever finish at the NCAA South Regional Championships, as UAB placed fourth overall. Ambrus, who led the Blazers with an eight-place finish, and Hilligoss were named to the All-South region team as well. It was the second such honor for Hilligoss. Ambrus capped off the season by placing 57th at the NCAA National Championships after receiving an at-large bid.
In 2004, UAB's cross country team continued to perform at the standard of excellence that Stanfield has set. The Blazers finished ninth at the NCAA South Region Championships after a third place finish at the Conference USA Championships. The third place finish was the best in school history. Sophomore Elizabeth Ambrus was named first team All-Conference USA after finishing third overall in the meet. Ambrus was also named C-USA Cross Country Female Athlete of the Week for the weeks of Sept. 14 and Sept. 21 during the season. Additionally, freshman Elizabeth Hilligoss was named to the All-Conference USA second team at the C-USA Championships, as well as being named C-USA Freshman of the Year. Hilligoss also earned a spot on the all-region team after a 23rd-place finish overall at the NCAA South Region Championships.
In 2003 the Blazers recorded their highest-ever finish at the Conference USA Championships, as they placed in a tie for fourth overall. What made the feat even more impressive was the fact that UAB had 11 newcomers and only two seniors on the team. Senior Amanda Kara was named to the all-conference team after placing ninth overall at the championships. UAB also finished in a tie for 11th at the NCAA South Region Championships. Kara was the Blazers' highest finisher in the meet, placing 31st.
In his first season at the helm, his team garnered national recognition as an Academic All-American team and received the Conference USA Academic Award for having the highest GPA.
Stanfield has coached Olympians, All-Americans and NCAA Champions and has also earned Coach of the Year honors in Texas and Louisiana.
Stanfield has been nationally recognized as an outstanding recruiter while coaching at Rice, McNeese, Sam Houston and Samford. He has signed numerous state champions and high school All-Americans.
Stanfield began his coaching career in 1976 at the high school level. He spent seven years as a high school coach in Texas. While at Canton (Texas) High School, he was named the state's 2000 U.S. Running Cross Country Coach of the Year after leading his team to the Texas State Championship. Previous high school coaching experience for Stanfield includes head coach at Crockett High School (1998-2000), head coach at Corrigan-Camden High School (1995-96) and head coach at Huntsville High School (1988-94). Stanfield has led his teams to numerous high school state championships.
In 1982, Stanfield became the assistant coach at Rice University, coaching the 400-meters and down and the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relay teams. Under his tutelage, two Owl relay teams finished as runners-up at the NCAA Championships in 1985 and 1986. His 400 meter relay team placed second in 1985, while his indoor mile relay team placed third in 1986. While at Rice, he also coached Canadian Olympian Courtney Brown, as well as Jamaican Olympian and two-time 1000 meter NCAA Champion Gawain Guy. Also, two of his sprinters were Olympic Trials finalists, Elliston Stinson and Steven Hall (1984).
Stanfield has also coached collegiately at McNeese State (head coach, 1993-94), Sam Houston State (assistant coach, 1987-88) and Samford University (assistant coach, 2001-02). While at McNeese State, his women's team won the Louisiana Collegiate Championship in 1993.
Stanfield received his degree in secondary education in 1978 from Mid-America Bible College in Oklahoma City. He later earned a Masters degree in Kinesiology at Sam Houston State in 1988. Stanfield began his college career as a student at Hardin-Simmons on a basketball scholarship. He was all-conference three times in basketball and an All-American as a senior.
Stanfield still competes in road races and Master's events in track. He was the Master's Southeast Region 5,000 Champion in 2001. He has also completed 13 marathons.
Stanfield is married to the former Patricia Conway of Houston. They have two children (twins): Tori and Tyler. Tyler is currently training as a professional tri-athlete Tyler spent his first two seasons at Alabama, where he was an All-SEC performer in track in 2003 and the 2002 Freshman of the Year for the South Region in Cross Country. He also spent the 2004-05 season at Houston, where he finished second at the Conference USA Cross Country championships and helped the Cougars win the 2004 C-USA cross country, indoor and outdoor championships.

Support the Renegades
Support Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment,
2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault)
The Renegades
America Supporting Americans Adopt-a-Unit
Through the America Supporting Americans (ASA) organization, the City of Florence adopted Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) - also known as the Renegades - approximately 10 years ago, when Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom started. During this time, Florence has had a continuous relationship supporting B Company through their deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, and we plan to continue this partnership into the future. The City of Florence commemorated this special relationship with the Renegades by welcoming approximately 100 active duty soldiers from the company and their families over the 2013 Memorial Day weekend. In February 2014, the Renegades deployed to Afghanistan again in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
The centerpiece of ASA's work is the Adopt-A-Unit Program. Believing that a strong, supportive connection between young men and women of our armed forces and the civilian communities they are ready and willing to serve is crucial to morale, ASA and the City of Florence have committed itself to building and strengthening this link. Both these situations result in rewarding, successful adoptions that are beneficial to everyone involved. Many of the soldiers in our unit are very young, in their early 20's, some as young as 18. Most have never been far from home before they volunteered for service. Let's show them how much we appreciate the sacrifice they are making in order that others may enjoy the freedoms we take for granted, here at home. They're our very own sons & daughters, friends & neighbors -- Americans, all!
How can you help? You may donate items that can be shipped to the Renegades in Afghanistan. Below is a list of suggested items. You can drop off any items at the City of Florence Mayor's Office at the Florence Government Center (8100 Ewing Boulevard) Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. If you cannot make it during regular business hours to drop off items, please contact us at (859) 647-8177 and special arrangements can be made. Any level of generosity helps tremendously.
NOTE: The City of Florence has received a "mail cut off" date of September 1, 2014, for our unit. The mail cut off date is generally 30 days before the unit returns home. Therefore, the City of Florence is not currently accepting any new donations, as we will not be making any additional shipments during this deployment. Monetary donations are still accepted, which will help defray any future costs for activities to support the unit on the homefront or when they deploy again.
For a list of items you can donate, click here.
Monetary donations to help with postage and purchasing of special request items from soldiers are also greatly appreciated. All donations will be used to support the Renegades. You may send your donation through the mail, make it online through PayPal, or drop off in person at the City of Florence Mayor's Office:
Support the Renegades
c/o City of Florence Mayor's Office
8100 Ewing Boulevard
Florence, KY 41042
Please make checks payable to City of Florence.
Or you can go online to the special PayPal account set up for this effort.
We hope you will join us in our commitment to support and honor the special relationship which has existed between the citizens of Florence, and the surrounding community, with their adopted soldiers over the years. Please contact the City of Florence at (859) 647-8177 or email here for more information. Please indicate if you wish for your donation to remain anonymous.

associated with the tracer is used and the first rule that the Makefile contains is the rule for _trace. Since _trace is the first target encountered, when TRACE is defined its rule will be run by default.
The _trace rule contains a single, complex command:
@$(MAKE) --no-print-directory TRACE= $(TRACE)='$$(warning TRACE $(TRACE))$(shell $(MAKE) TRACE=$(TRACE) _value)'
On the right-hand side of the command is a $(shell) invocation rerunning the Makefile with a different goal. If we are tracing YS then this $(shell) runs the command
make TRACE=YS _value
which will cause the _value rule to get run, which in turn will echo the definition of YS. _value simply echoes the definition of the macro specified by the TRACE macro. So the $(shell) ends up evaluating to $(Y)$(S).
The $(shell) is in fact inside a command-line macro definition (usually called a command-line override):
$(TRACE)='$$(warning TRACE $(TRACE))$(shell $(MAKE)TRACE=$(TRACE) _value)'
which adds the $(warning) needed to output the 'TRACE X' messages. Notice how the name of the macro being defined is a computed value: its name is contained in $(TRACE). When tracing YS this definition turns into:
YS='$(warning TRACE YS)$(Y)$(S)'
The single quotes are used to prevent the shell from seeing the $ sign, the double $ is used to prevent Make from seeing the $: in either case a macro expansion would be prevented which we want to delay until YS is actually used.
Finally the _trace rule runs
make TRACE= YS='$(warning TRACE YS)$(Y)$(S)'
which resets the value of TRACE (since this invocation of Make should actually run the real rules) and overrides the value of YS as defined in the Makefile. Recall that macros defined on the command-line override definitions in the Makefile (see article URL): even though YS is defined in the Makefile the command-line definition will be used.
Now every time $(YS) is expanded a warning is printed.
This technique doesn't work for a macro that is target-specific. GNU Make allows you to define a macro as specific to a target in the following manner:
all: FOO=foo
all: a
@echo $(FOO)
@echo $(FOO)
The macro FOO will have value foo in the rule that builds all and in any prerequisites of all. The Makefile above will print foo and then foo because $(FOO) is defined in the all rule and in the a rule. The tracer is unable to obtain the value of $(FOO) and would in fact cause this Makefile to behave incorrectly.
$(warning) sends its output to STDERR which makes it possible to separate normal Make output from the tracer. Simply redirect STDERR to a trace log file. For example the following command will result in normal Make output being seen and the trace going to the log file:
% gmake TRACE=S 2> trace.log
dog dog
cat cat
dogs hate cats
Next month I'll return with a GNU Make trick that let's you see exactly which rules are run when you type 'make' and in what order.

Re: Phenotypical Marriage
Fruit fly love may all be fabricated by the evil "Scientists," but there is an epic love story waiting to unfold...
In the world of the fruit flies, there is no love. Subject to the cruel abuse of the "Scientists", the poor creatures are objectified and considered soulless, seen for their phenotypes and nothing more. Wild-type eyes, honey, brown, vermillion, white - that's all they see. But they don't see the HEART.
It seemed like just another arranged marriage. But what began as a match made in Laboratory would turn out to be a match made in Heaven.
This is a timeless love story that spans generations! Days later, their many descendants would still remember their tale. The genotypes would live on.

I googled ppcdl. It looks like you are using a outboard centre console?
Re: Failure
With all due respect, I have a very different opinion of docking. In general, the rules are simple though mastering them takes a while.
I always approach a slip such that's final turn in is with my nose to the wind. This may even require backing down a fairway, past the slip, then going forward. Pulling into a slip and following the wind (unless there is no other choice) is a typical novice mistake.
Second, speed can be your friend. Yeah, if the winds and currents are light, sure... Come in really slow. However, the docking gods always know when I am coming in and make sure the wind or current is blowing me off.
My suggestion is don't be afraid to use that throttle. Don't come in at 8 kts, but if you come in slow you often lose quick reaction time and drift plays against you... Especially your bow which can fall off quickly and acrew up an otherwise good approach.
For years I had a slip that was beam-to with a wicked 2 plus knot current ripping across it. All I had was a couple of feet to play with on my beam. The only way to get in there was with a good head of steam or the current and wind would have you sideways. The trick of course is how much steam. Still, I say don't be afraid of your throttle.
My opinions.

I agree with most of you guys who encouraged practice. However, practice don't come cheap either. It costs about 100 USD to book a session on the practice boat per hour. Nonetheless, I've somehow begrudgingly scrapped enough out of the bottom of my savings for a 3 hour practice session the day before the assessment. That was one costly failure.

Re: Failure
Single screw docking:
As a captain, docking (the same direction no matter what the wind or current is doing) a tall ship several times a day while taking passengers on excursions, not every docking is perfect or looks good. Even with 20 to 30 dockings (and undockings if such a term exists) a week they all can't be perfect. But no matter what the wind does or the current you must know how to handle the vessel you are driving and get it done. It's not luck that got those other people through their exam, and if you think it is, then that may be your biggest problem.
I have a feeling that you do not have a basic understanding of the actions of a boat. All boats turn around the center. Unlike a car, where the back follows the front, when the bow goes to starboard, the stern goes to port. In reverse, most boats will walk to port, or sometimes to starboard. You must put the side of the boat to the dock that she backs toward. This can be used to your advantage; if you come up to the finger slightly into the wind and then turn into a nearly parallel position alongside the finger with the bow closer to the dock, you can then give it a short burst of power in reverse, not to stop the boat, but to swing the stern in. Then leave her out of gear and allow her to drift into the finger, because that will be the direction of the momentum. You could even come towards the finger at nearly 90 degrees in strong winds and turn at the last moment using the method above, and have a beautiful, successful docking. Get the boat set up and drifting in the right direction and let it happen. An experienced captain can "horse" a boat into any dock under most conditions, but you should not try to force things, at this point.
It's really hard to explain all this in writing. If you could find even a row boat to practice with, I think you would get the idea pretty quickly. Almost all boats, from a super tanker to a dinghy can be docked in the same way, it's just a matter of degrees. The bigger the vessel, the longer it takes for the vessel to react to your actions and those imposed upon her by current and wind.
Personally, I can't see what you'll gain from the internet research, but I'm one of those who learn from experience, not education, which is why college was such a struggle for me.
I'm not trying to be an ass here and if we were a tad closer to each other, I'd gladly bring you aboard for a free lesson or 2.
Re: Failure
Practice, practice, practice.
Re: Failure
I admire your determination and resolve to become better at the most difficult part of boating. It really is just a matter of practice, and luck, and anyone that says they never mess up is lying. One gust of wind, or an unexpected lull, current against the wind, or with it, they can all turn a routine event into a do over, or worse. Stay at it and get some more practice, you'll get it. One more bit of advice; every time is different, dead slow may work one time but the next you may need some speed and lots of rpms, learn to "read" the conditions and adjust accordingly. Oh, and buy lots of fenders:-))
Re: Failure
Where in the world are those standards from?
I'm certain you've heard that any docking where all the passengers are safely placed ashore is a good docking. Any docking where you can use the boat again, is a great docking.

Nice , I like, but who has stock and when is it available, especially after glowing review. because I can see much demand.
Is this the i2353Fh? I can't find the 'Ph' anywhere on their european website but the 'Fh' seems to be identical (specs-wise) to what you have reviewed here.
Found this on the TFTCentral.co.uk review of the same monitor:
"The Fh model is available in Europe (including EMEA) while the Ph is the model available in America and Asia."
Well spotted Julian, our model came labelled 'Ph' - but I will update the title to Fh as that is more relevant to a European audience. Thanks.
A little bit more useful information from the tftcentralreview regarding the differences between the Ph/Fh models:
"The two models are practically identical and feature the same panel, features, electronics and specs. There are some very minor aesthetic differences which we will mention later on, but for all intents and purposes they are the same screen."
Does this monitor have a headphone/aux out socket? Looking around it seems to have an audio in socket, but not output which would make it useless for me.
A strange quality to look for. It is input only, as are far and away the vast majority of monitors.
I'd suggest connecting your earphones to the PC or laptop connected to the monitor (you can always get a 3.5mm extension cable if the port is hard to reach) and chalking off this as a necessity for a monitor... otherwise it won't leave you much choice.
Thanks for the clarification Gordon, the reason I have that requirement is that I can use my PC, 360, PS3 or Tivo on my current Asus monitor and use my Turtle Beach headset connected to the headphone out which is seemless no matter what I watch via HDMI. I could just do with a better quality monitor, which this one would have otherwise been.
Shame this doesnt have standard vesa holes for mounting. i guess its beacause the connections are i the base.
Does anyone have an idea that this Aoc model good for gaming ? cause genarally the 2 ms response time monitors advised for gamers but this has also 5 ms response time which is not bad.
Just bought this to replace a Philips 220C I've had since 2008. IPS trading up from crappy TN. Yes please.
Is the AOC i2367Fh just as good (or better) than this one? I am thinking about buying one of them but I can't find a store to compare them both. The i2367Fh has a (newer?) AH-IPS screen, a thin looking bezel and a small footstand. The i2353Fh is slightly thinnern has touch-controls on the base and you can mount it on a wall.
Which one is the best for watching movies?
And what about the HP Pavilion 22xi?
I think he must Use HDMI to connect to the monitor and then use headphones out of the monitor. But i guess im 2 years late.
i was thinking the same
VESA connections in the base - weird - but might work OK

Furious Late Fight Back Comes Up Short For Lady Bulldogs
Jan. 5, 2014
Final Stats | Photo Gallery | USATSI Gallery
ATHENS, Ga.----The 19th-ranked Georgia Lady Bulldogs fell to the No. 5 Tennessee Lady Volunteers 85-70 Sunday afternoon in Stegeman Coliseum. The Lady Bulldogs fall to 12-3 on the season and 0-2 in the Southeastern Conference.
Krista Donald led Georgia in scoring with a season-high 18 points, while Donald and Merritt Hempe collected six rebounds each to lead the home team. Tiaria Griffin added 15 points, Hempe chipped in 13 and Shacobia Barbee added 12.
Tennessee's junior point guard Ariel Massengale led all scorers with 28 points, including going 10-of-10 from the free-throw line. The Lady Volunteers hit 30-of-33 shots from the free-throw line.
"They definitely took advantage of our mistakes in the second half," Georgia head coach Andy Landers said. "But I was really proud of them for most of the game because despite everything they never dragged their feet. They just fought the fight but struggled to make things happen at times."
The Lady Bulldogs jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, but three turnovers allowed Tennessee to pull back into the contest before three Meighan Simmons free throws gave the visiting Lady Volunteers a slim edge.
While Georgia initially struggled to come to terms with Tennessee's height in the post, the Lady Bulldogs' ability to share the ball allowed them to continually pin back the Lady Volunteers with Hempe collecting six points and Barbee adding four in the first 10 minutes.
Griffin's impact off the bench was immediately felt with 10:35 remaining in the first half. She hit two free throws to bring Georgia level for the first time since the 16:22 mark. After a Massengale 3-pointer, Erika Ford answered with a deep ball of her own that tied the game at 17-17.
The Lady Bulldogs found themselves in foul trouble for a large portion of the first period as they committed their seventh foul with 8:30 left before halftime. The Lady Volunteers ended the stanza with 16 points from the charity stripe.
Georgia's first half struggle to match-up to Tennessee's height was highlighted by 6-3 junior Isabelle Harrison's 18 points. Georgia was led in the opening period by Barbee who recorded eight points and three rebounds to lead the Lady Bulldogs in both categories.
Tennessee came out of the halftime break with a purpose as they successfully disrupted Georgia's offense and, led by Massengale, were able to turn the screw early going on a 13-0 run between the 17:18 and 13:44 mark.
Georgia was unable to stem the tide against a relentless Tennessee offense that saw the increasingly dominant Massengale notch 17 points in the first 10 minutes of the half. She would finish the half with 23 points.
Despite the deficit, the Lady Bulldogs continued fighting with 3-pointers from Griffin and Khaalidah Miller closing the gap. Griffin and Donald provided the second half spark for Georgia as they scored 13 and 14 points respectively in the second stanza.
Donald and Griffin led a late Lady Bulldogs rally that brought some electricity to the season-high 6,571 fans inside Stegeman Coliseum.
Georgia capitalized on a 19-0 run over 5:48 late in the second half to close the gap to six points following two Hempe free throws but the reintroduction of Massengale and some costly fouls and turnovers prevented the Lady Bulldogs from completing a memorable comeback as Tennessee closed the game on a 9-0 run.
Donald led the Lady Bulldogs in the second half with 14 points and five rebounds. Hempe also collected five second-half boards.
Landers reserved special praise for Donald, Hempe and Miller.
"You can't talk about one without the other two, Krista Donald and Khaalidah Miller played with a lot of pride today. They were very determined; those three stand out to me," Landers said. "Hempe was excellent starting but was in a situation where she was actually undersized but did a good job defensively, probably gave up a couple offensively but did a great job."
Georgia returns to action Thursday night as the Lady Bulldogs travel to Columbia, Mo., to face the Missouri Tigers at 8 PM ET.
The Lady Bulldogs then return home for a two game homestand beginning with Texas A&M on Sunday. The game will tip off at 2 PM ET and be televised live on SEC TV.
Single-game reserved seat tickets for Lady Bulldog games are $5 for adults and $3 for children. UGA students, faculty and staff are admitted to all Lady Bulldog games free of charge with a valid UGA Card. Faculty and staff should pick up tickets at the Coliseum box office. Students are admitted to the arena via the entrance to the left of the box office by showing their UGA Card.

Our first nVidia chipped card is the Abit Siluro FX5600 Ultra DT. As the name suggests, the Abit uses the FX5600 Ultra GPU, which is effectively half of a GeForce FX5800 chip as it has four pixel pipelines, one texture pipeline and a 128bit memory controller.
With the previous generation of Ti4200/4400/4600 chips and then the AGP 8X versions, the difference between a high-end chip and a mid-range was simply the core and memory speeds. With FX5600/5600 Ultra the chip is completely different to the high-end FX5900/5900 Ultra, so there is a limit to the performance of even the fastest FX5600 Ultra card.
On paper the FX5600 Ultra doesn't look too promising, yet even though the core runs at a lowly 350MHz, in our tests the FX5600 Ultra compares very well with the Radeon 9600 Pro.
The FX5600 Ultra requires a Molex power connector of the type used on a hard drive, but if you forget to connect it the PC will still start up. Part of the Detonator drivers called nVidia System Sentinel reports that the power connector is unplugged and the card runs at reduced settings of 250MHz core/500MHz memory. This seems like a better approach than the way ATi cards refuse to start up at all.
Abit has surrounded the FX5600 Ultra chip with a fairly basic graphics card with an unusual shroud over the aluminium heatsink that is shaped something like the cross-section of an aerofoil. There's a flashing blue light on the fan that you can see through the slits of the shroud. As a matter of personal taste we're not keen on flashing lights inside our PCs, but if you have to go down that route the Abit is fairly understated and looks pleasant enough.
There is precious little software in the package apart from a copy of Window Blinds and a couple of game demos, so you can effectively ignore that little lot. You also get the Abit Graphic Max2 overclocking utility, so naturally we gave it a go to see what difference it made.
On stock 350MHz/700MHz settings we got a 3DMark03 score of 2,843. With the overclocking utility, you can adjust and test the core and memory speeds independently of each other. The utility also allows you to elect to run the settings at start-up or to revert to standard settings. We set the speeds at the maximum 375MHz/875MHz and despite successful tests 3DMark03 locked solid. Dropping the memory speed slightly to 375MHz/850MHz we got 3,009 marks, so it would seem that the memory was marginal in those last few MHz.
That's an improvement of six percent, which is well worth having, but it's fairly unimpressive compared to a Radeon 9600 Pro.
The performance differential between FX5600 and FX5600 Ultra is quite small, and the Ultra premium doesn't really seem worth paying
The Abit offers decent performance and fair value but the features are lacking compared to the competition. It's a reasonable card but you can get more for you money elsewhere.

Having your ears reshaped by ear surgery is usually a great decision. In 2011, there were approximately 26,433 otoplasty procedures performed in the U.S. at an average cost of $2,800 to $4,000 for the surgeon's fee. Of that group, 10,827 of the patient were male, and 7,489 of the patients were age 13 to 19. The number of people seeking otoplasty is down from a high of 36,295 in 2000. (The number of ear plastic surgery procedures in 2010 where 29,894 and in 2000 as much as 36,295).
Ear surgery or otoplasty is a well-perfected procedure to reshape or "pin back" prominent ears, and is one of the few cosmetic procedures routinely performed on children. Because the ears are one of our most noticeable features, children with protruding ears are often the butt of peer jokes and bullying. While the surgery should not be performed on children younger than five years of age, it is often sought for adolescent and pre-adolescents, with more boys than girls going in for the work
Since many people are in the same situation, you would think that the cost of otoplasty would have gone down substantially. The procedures have also been perfected and surgeons can usually have the procedure done in merely a few hours. However the national average surgeon fee for ear surgery was $3,148 in 2011 and Americans spent a total of $83,211,084 on Ear surgery in 2011. In 2008 the national average surgeon fee was $2,791.
Although surgeons are trained in a somewhat uniform manner, each plastic surgeon will make their own time-value calculation as to the final price for a given cosmetic surgery procedure such as ear-shaping based on demand or popularity or technical demands.
Operating room costs & local anesthetic is approx $900.
Operating room costs & general anesthetic is approx $1,100.
Considering the national average surgeon fee is approx $3,100, budgeting for an ear-shaping procedure should be based on an estimated $5,000 in direct cash out-of-pocket expenses.
In terms of the value of the money invested in otoplasty, the returns are high. This is a permanent procedure that returns life-long benefits. Ear-shaping surgery is considered a Class II cosmetic surgery procedure based on national statistics.
Class II operations require up to 2.5 hours to perform and include such surgeries; as breast augmentation and mammoplasty, mastopexy, upper and lower blepharoplasty, limited face lift, rhinoplasty or septo-rhinoplasty, major suction lipoplasty, abdominoplasty and the aforementioned, otoplasty.
Always note that the total costs for any cosmetic procedure will also include facility fees and the services of other professionals like an anesthesiologist. While adults can have otoplasty performed under a local anesthetic, general anesthesia is typically used with young children to counteract their fear and nervousness.
