With the varied components of the MBTA system, there are a vast number of resources which help to tell not only the transportation history of an area, but also the development history. Street cars were seen carrying passengers between Cambridge, Boston, and Roxbury in the 1820's. Steam railroads were introduced in the 1830's, and although mostly used for freight, did see some commuter service use. In 1856, horse-drawn carriages on rails were used to transport passengers around the city. The first subway was opened along Tremont Street in 1897, and that section of tunnel still carries the MBTA's green line between Park Street and Boylston Street stations. Rapid transit arrived in 1887 with the electrification of the West End Street Railroad lines. From the 1920's to the 1950's some railroad rights of way were converted to rapid transit and the original railroad stations re-used.
Given the long transportation history in the greater Boston area, the MBTA system contains a large number of historic resources. Moreover, the MBTA stations, facilities and rights of way are within historical districts and adjacent to some of the nation's most significant historical resources. The MBTA is committed to preserving and restoring its historic resources when possible. In addition the MBTA is committed to planning and developing its main infrastructure in a way that is compatible with the important resources in the area. The MBTA often provides historic interpretive displays, often at stations, to allow our customers to gain a greater understanding of the historic context of the system they are using.
Some upgrades, often required to make stations accessible, require demolishing all or parts of an historic structure. When this occurs, the MBTA works to provide a new design that is compatible with the historic environment in which the station sits.
Salem Intermodal Station - Archeological Recovery
The proposed Salem Intermodal Facility sits on the site of a significant archeological resource: A 19th century railroad turntable and roundhouse. The MBTA hired Public Archeological Laboratories, Inc.(PAL) to conduct a site investigation. In the fall of 2012, the former turntable and roundhouse location was fully excavated and documented. The excavation and documentation of the site meant bringing out a qualified excavation crew who worked closely with PAL. PAL used prior plans of the site to determine where below ground remains would likely exist and targeted those areas for digging.
The excavation crew used a backhoe to remove the parking lot pavement and fill from the site. When below ground elements of the former site were found, they were carefully cleaned off and exposed. Any materials found in the material dug out from the site were catalogued. This included items such as plate fragments, nails, shoes, granite, etc. Once the former roundhouse and turntable foundations were exposed, photos were taken of the entire site and plans made to show what remained in place. This documentation of the site was brought together in a report by PAL which was then submitted to Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) and Salem Historical Commission (SHC). This report summarizes the historic use of the site and shows in detail what was found during the excavation.
As part of the permitting and approval process for the parking garage, the MBTA worked closely with the (MHC) and the (SHC) to document the remaining elements of the roundhouse and turntable. The MBTA will use some of the granite in the North River viewing area of the station, and will develop historic interpretive signage for the station. As can be seen from the photos, the layout of the former turntable and roundhouse can be seen from the remaining foundations at the site.
Charles/MGH Station - New Architecture in a Historic District
On February 17, 2007 a new headhouse for Charles/MGH station was opened a half block east of its former location to house escalators and elevators, making the station accessible to persons with disabilities for the first time.
The station is within the boundaries of the Charles River Basin Historic District, which is listed in the State and National Registers, as well as within the boundaries of the Beacon Hill Historic District. Additionally, the station is located adjacent to the Longfellow Bridge, and the former Charles Street Jail. All of these resources are listed on the National Register for Historic Places.
The MBTA sought to build a new station that would be fully accessible to persons with disabilities as well as other safety upgrades. The architecture and the layout of the former station were such that it could not be retrofitted to accommodate elevators. The challenge on this project was to build a new station, with modern 21st century architecture but that was still compatible with the historic and architectural qualities of the adjacent historic resources.
The station's redesign is based on the modern requirements of a transit station in a historic district. Red Line riders can now approach the new entrance at street level and, once inside the station, utilize elevators and escalators to reach the platform above. The station combines the modern look and amenities needed to handle the high volume of transit riders at the stop, along with the renovation of the historic elevated copper platform which connects to the Longfellow Bridge. The historic bridge was constructed in 1793 and was the gateway between Boston and Cambridge.
As part of the design, the MBTA sought to retain some of the elements of the former station, including retention and reuse of station elements, consisting of track, viaduct structure. The MBTA was also able to save and reuse the copper-clad platform enclosure, including the copper panels, multi-pane windows, and cast stone column enclosures that were so important to the architecture of the former station.
Copley Station - Historic Preservation and Rehabilitation
In October 2010 the MBTA completed the renovation of the Copley Green Line Station. The primary intent of the project was to make the station ADA compliant. The MBTA felt it was also important to make extensive repairs and perform a full historic preservation of the 1914 Beaux Arts Headhouse located in front of the Boston Public Library.
Copley Station is one of the most historic areas in Boston consisting of important structures such as the Boston Public Library McKimm building, the Old South Church, Trinity Church, by the renowned architect HH Richardson as well as the historic landscape in front of the Trinity Church. The design of the new station emphasizes the beauty of the old and new surrounding structures. With the new design the station is accessible for everyone, and also had a look and feel of the historic buildings of the square.
The head house was originally designed by the Boston architecture firm Fox and Gale and built by the Hecla Winslow firm of Chicago, famous for their iron and bronze work adorning New York City's Grand Central Station and the Dakota apartments. Prior to its restoration, the wrought iron and glass Beaux-Arts style head house had become the victim of decades of deferred maintenance and inappropriate repairs and renovations. Since the initial 1915 completion, periodic modernization and rehabilitation efforts have occurred, but through time and neglect, the fine craftsmanship of the structure became obscured by graffiti, thick layers of paint, rust, and less than sympathetic renovations and repairs. The last known renovation to the historic head house was in 1959. At the time of the Copley Station Accessibility project, the cast iron head house was in a serious state of decline.
The MBTA hired DeAngelis Iron Work of Easton, Massachusetts to perform the work needed for the restoration. The dismantling of the building resulted in over 1,000 different sections that needed to be tagged and catalogued. They used traditional blacksmith techniques along with modern technology to remove the old paint and corrosion. Models were used to reassemble the pieces to exact specification, and when needed, Cumberland Foundry in Rhode Island cast new pieces that replicated the originals. In the end the DeAngelis company was able to save ninety percent of the original structure, and the MBTA made sure its riders could access the station safely, while keeping the historic and architectural integrity of the building.
West Concord Station - Alternative Use for a Historic Station
Built in 1894 and called Union Station, the Depot was constructed at the junction of three major railroads serving Concord Junction (now called West Concord) which was then an important industrial center. The original station was tri-colored and has been described as either Italianate or Queen Anne style architecture. In its original state, the building had yellow painted clapboards above vertical red wainscoting and green colored trim. There were copper finials, and a nine foot roof overhang.
In 2006 the Town of Concord along with the Friends of West Concord Depot approached the MBTA to create a unique partnership to renovate the exterior of the depot which had unfortunately been altered in the 1980's by installing a faux brick encapsulation of the building. These alterations were inconsistent with the historic elements of the station and diminished its value as a National Register historic resource. The Town voted at town meeting to fund half of the project with funds from the Community Preservation Act, and the MBTA agreed to pay the other half needed to complete the project. Since the alterations were performed, the building fell into serious disrepair. The faux brick was worn, exterior wood had rotted, the slate roof was missing tiles, and the supporting beams for the roof hangover were failing. The renovation of the exterior of the West Concord Station involved repairing the slate roof properly, removing the faux brick and replacing the clapboard and wainscoting, and replace rotting soffits and structural beams. In the interior the baggage room is again separated from the rest of the facility.
On Wednesday, July 30, 2008 a ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the West Concord Depot to celebrate the completed renovation and rehabilitation of the exterior of the historical building. The Concord Station now houses a very popular local restaurant which serves traditional diner style food. By adapting the station to a new use, the MBTA and the Town of Concord are ensuring that the building stays active, maintained and in good condition, and preserving the historic resource in a good working state.
In April 2009 the Town of Concord and the MBTA were recognized by the Massachusetts Historical Commission for the restoration and rehabilitation of the West Concord Depot and was presented the 2009 Massachusetts Historical Commission Preservation Award.

Hi: can anyone help?
It is straightforward to edit and delete rows in a table one at a time using forms to specify the update details, click the submit button and wait for the action to be completed. But this "client / server" action is usually tedious.
In modern versions of phpmyadmin it is possible to initiate edits to multiple rows. For example when using the application's browsing facility to display a table, the data in each row is displayed preceded by a check box. Clicking the checkboxes on multiple rows and then clicking the submit button brings up edit forms for each of the checked rows. These can then be filled in , one after another: pressing a single submit buton comletes all the edits. Multiple row deletes can be done in a similar manner.
Its very ingenious. Can anyone provide coding instructions to accomplish actions like phpmyadmin's ?
It would seem that arrays of data have to be sent from a "client" form to a "server" application which does the work.
I've searched Sitepoint's forums but can't find details...
if you're making the same change to multiple rows (e.g. updating customer status to 'deadbeat' where amount_owing > 100 and last_payment_date < current_date - interval 1 year) then you can write a simple SQL statement for it
if it's a different change on every row, then you would actually want to do them one at a time, right?
Hi SQL Consultant
No, its not like this - much more clever.
In the current version of phpmyadmin - version 3.4 I think - you can Browse a table. Selecting the BROWSE menu item brings up a table of all the table's rows. Each row starts off with an unticked checkbox followed by the links: EDIT, INLINE EDIT COPY and DELETE. The row's contents come next. If you tick the checkboxes on (say) rows 2, 3, 6 and 10 and then select the submit button labelled 'change', a new page comes up containing data entry forms for all the 4 rows. These can then be edited using the same phpmyadmin page and clicking the 'GO' button. This returns to the previous page showing the amended details for the 4 rows.
If the button 'delete' had been clicked, then the 4 rows would be deleted - after a warning.....
Sorry to be verbose. Question is How are these actions coded?
I guess that clicking the 'change' button submits (at least) the check state, and row-number of all 4 checked records. How is this done? by sending a 3 x 4 array of data back to the 2nd page where the 4 idata nput forms are displayed.
Can you help?
sorry, NFI (no idea)
you would have to contact the developers of phpmyadmin
not really a mysql question
Thanks for trying, I'll try and contact phpmyadmin's developers
Possibly PHPMyAdmin is sending 4 queries in one hit to the MySQL or sending one query at a time and then displaying the outcome of the queries
Sounds like you are talking of tables that are trivial in size. PHPMYADMIN also only shows you 30 rows at a time unless you specify a larger number. But tell me how efficient this is if you have 100,000 rows in your table? How do you intend to scroll through looking for that many rows by hand?
Don't get caught up on this and figure out how to actually use the sql query/delete/update itself to look after the data.
Hi guelfdad and SpacePhoenix
Point about increasing feasibility with table size. In fact the tables I am concerned with are not likely to exceed 400 records. This should be do-able. The edits to rows are diverse - eg updating a club members address list. BUT as mentioned previously its very tedious to do such edits one by one, each taking 2 or 3 client-server steps, possibly slowed down by heavy internet traffic at each step. With phpmyadmin's current application, you can select a 12 rows needing attention and in just one submit you will get 12 data entry forms which can be filled up and then again, in one submit operation the 12 rows come back updated correctly - apart from typos of course!
My problem is that I can't figure out how to send a variety of arrays of data in order to send / receive the 12 sets of data in one go. The html form's input statement can, after all, only send one name:value pair.
As SpacePhoenix says, yes phpmyadmin composes some magic SQL to do 12 updates at once. This looks possible, but the main problem seems to me to get the 12 sets of data sent in one Form submit .
why do you have to do them by hand and why do you need to use phpmyadmin to do deletes from the table by hand at all?Suppose you have the following userids you need to delete:2, 34, 111, 119, 201, 334, 345, 399
how would you delete them right now? are you suggesting you would query your table, bring back all records and then tediously scroll through them to delete the records by clicking a checkbox and then a delete button?
Isn't it simply easier to write the following in the sql tab:
userid IN (2, 34, 111, 119, 201, 334, 345, 399)
one single delete statement. and you can see how trivial it would be to delete the users if that list grew to say 50 you would have to delete, and even more so, in comparison to the way you want to do it if those 50 were spread over 10,000 rows.
I would guess PHPmyadmin submits the form data as array. They name them probably something like this in html.
If you submit you receive arrays. $POST[name][0] $POST[name][1] etc... And if you are editing multiple rows you can give the row id to the html input element. Name[324]
<Input type:text name:name[324] value:test />
Ps my phone has no equal sign, so used : instead.
Many thanks to guelfdad and RvanD85 for your help.
Yes I had appreciated that the SQL would be as guelfdad has laid out and the SQL is easier for multiple deleting than for multiple updating. (I imaging that separate SQL is needed for updating each identified record {?}) But the problem is in constructing the php code to specify the set of userids and the arrays of data to implement the updating - all involving the complicated client-server handshake.
As stated, my tables have less than 200 records, so employing check boxes at the start of each row in a HTML form display of the table enables the userids to be captured and sent to the server which then has all that's necessary to implement guelfdads SQL
RvanD85's code snippits are tantalising. Sending arrays like this is new to me and I'll conduct some experiments. If you can amplify your suggestion I shall be grateful.
Your welcome, I hope it is to use for you.
Today I looked at phpmyadmin and they indeed send post arrays.
In your form it would look like this.
<form action="" method="post">

<input type="text" name="name[1]" value="row1name" />
<input type="text" name="date[1]" value="row1date" />
<input type="text" name="address[1]" value="row1address" />

<input type="text" name="name[2]" value="row2name" />
<input type="text" name="date[2]" value="row2date" />
<input type="text" name="address[2]" value="row2address" />

<input type="text" name="name[3]" value="row3name" />
<input type="text" name="date[3]" value="row3date" />
<input type="text" name="address[3]" value="row3address" />

<input type="text" name="name[4]" value="row4name" />
<input type="text" name="date[4]" value="row4date" />
<input type="text" name="address[4]" value="row4address" />
In your PHP you can do something like
foreach($_POST['name'] as $key => $value)
//Here you can execute functions or query on every post
$db->query('UPDATE yourtable SET name = "'.$_POST['name'][$key].'", date = "'.$_POST['date'][$key].'", address = "'.$_POST['address'][$key].'" WHERE id = '.$key);
If it are new rows you are adding then you can leave the id out of your post arrays.
<form action="" method="post">

<input type="text" name="name[]" value="row1name" />
<input type="text" name="date[]" value="row1date" />
<input type="text" name="address[]" value="row1address" />

<input type="text" name="name[]" value="row2name" />
<input type="text" name="date[]" value="row2date" />
<input type="text" name="address[]" value="row2address" />

<input type="text" name="name[]" value="row3name" />
<input type="text" name="date[]" value="row3date" />
<input type="text" name="address[]" value="row3address" />

<input type="text" name="name[]" value="row4name" />
<input type="text" name="date[]" value="row4date" />
<input type="text" name="address[]" value="row4address" />
If you want to delete all the selected rows, you can use 1 query and do the where id IN(1,2,3,4,etc...). This is also valid if you i.e. update the name of multiple rows with the same value.But whenever you update multiple rows where each has his own values, you are forced to create multiple querys I believe.
I think maybe you can build your form also this way. But don't know for sure. You'll have to try it out.
<form action="" method="post">

<input type="text" name="row[1][name]" value="row1name" />
<input type="text" name="row[1][date]" value="row1date" />
<input type="text" name="row[1][address]" value="row1address" />

<input type="text" name="row[2][name]" value="row2name" />
<input type="text" name="row[2][date]" value="row2date" />
<input type="text" name="row[2][address]" value="row2address" />

<input type="text" name="row[3][name]" value="row3name" />
<input type="text" name="row[3][date]" value="row3date" />
<input type="text" name="row[3][address]" value="row3address" />

<input type="text" name="row[4][name]" value="row4name" />
<input type="text" name="row[4][date]" value="row4date" />
<input type="text" name="row[4][address]" value="row4address" />
Php would be like this I guess:
foreach($_POST['row'] as $key => $values)
//Here you can execute functions or query on every post
$db->query('UPDATE yourtable SET name = "'.$values['name'].'", date = "'.$values['date'].'", address = "'.$values['address'].'" WHERE id = '.$key);
that's pretty much what i said in post #2
Yes indeed. But topic starter asked it again
And I didn't read the full topic again, so I guessed It wasn't mentioned here before
Well, I've cracked the problem. HTML Forms can't deal directly with arrays of data. So ifarrays have to be sent, they have to be sent element by element as NAME:DATA pairs. All NAMESmust be unique.
To explain it, Suppose we have a 4-column name & address table shown here as a HTML form with a single submit buttonwith a value of 'updating':-
X 9 Michael Greveson 109, Glen Rd..... other records.....X 39 Bradwell Johnson 37 Edgar St
The 'X' at the start of every row is a checkbox; if it is ticked the checkbox acquires an integernumber equal to the record's ID. One or more of the check boxes may be ticked thus generating a HTMLinput statement for example:-
<input type='checkbox' name='chk.$id' value='$id'>
When the submit button is clicked, a name-value pair is sent to the server for each of the checkedrows of the table. If the 2 rows above were checked the name-value pairs are "chk9=>9, chk39=>39".From the received $_POST array, an array $idary can be extracted containing, in this example,the elements : (0=>9, 1=>39) (note the actual names of the checkboxes can be any unique strings,we only need the elements of the function array_values($_POST)).
The next step is to initiate a update-data entry form to capture the data (2 sets of 4 dataitems in the example) to generate SQL INPUT statements for each of the 2 records.A 2 row x 4 column array ( e.g. $updata) is needed so that, for example the element $updata[0][4]is the the NEW value of Mr Greveson's address (currently '109, Glen Rd'). Similarly, $updata[1][2] isthe value replacing 'Bradwell'.
Since a HTML form can only send name-pairs where the name is unique, it is necessary to adda suffix to the names of the fields. Thus I've added a suffix :'_$idary[0]' (for the first record to be edited) and '_$idary[1]' (for the 2nd) to the field names. Thus a typical input statement in the update-data entry form is:-
$ind : <input type="Text" name="'. $ind.'_'.$iuset.'" value="'. $row[$iuset][$ind]
(Where $ind = field-name[$i}, $i between 0 and field count; $iuset = the index number of the set of update-data - [0 or 1 in the example] $row[$iuset] = $row[$iuset] = mysql_fetch_array($result); [ i.e. the row of data items in the $iuset'th row being updated].)
In a bit more detail the skeleton code for the modifyrecord form is:-
function modifyrecform2($idary){ // $idary array contains list of IDs for records to be edited print('<form method="post" action="' . $SELF. '">'); for ($iuset = 0; $iuset < count($idary); $iuset++) { // iterate over all sets (0 and 1 in example) $idx = $idary[$iuset]; if ($idx) { // $irec'th row in the update set $sql = "SELECT * FROM $tblname WHERE id=$idx"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $row[$iuset] = mysql_fetch_array($result); } print ('<input type=hidden name="' . $fldnames[0] . '_'.$iuset .'" value="' . $idx . '">'); print("
 Updating Record $idx
");
for ($i=1; $i <= $colcount -1; $i++) {
$ind = $fldnames[$i];
echo '<input type="Text" name="'. $ind.'_'.$iuset.'" value="'. $row[$iuset][$ind] .'">';
} } // for $irec print ('<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="updating">'); echo "/form>";
Note that update-data entry forms are provided for each update set (2 in this case), but only onesubmit button
When the edits are made and the submit button clicked, the received $_POST array is:-$POST = array('id0'=>'9','first_0'=>'Michael','last_0'=>'Greveson','address_0'=>'109,Glen Rd','id_1'=>'39','first_1'=>'Bradwell','last_1'=>'Johnson','address_1'=>'37 Edgar St','submit'=>'updating') [except that some of the data here will have been edited.]
This is parsed with the following code to generate a 2-row array ($data):-
$updata = array();foreach( $_POST as $key => $value) { if ( ereg('_[0-9]+', $key, $regs )){ $of = ltrim($regs[0], '_'); $b = ereg_replace("_[0-9]+", "", $key); $updata[$of][$b] = $value; }else{;
The code removes the suffices to the 'NAME' elements in the 2 row array:-
$updata = array(0 , array ('id'=>'9','first'=>'Michael','last'=>'Greveson','address'=>'109, Glen Rd') 1, array('id'=>'38','first'=>'Bradwell','last'=>'Johnson','address'=>'37 Edgar St' ))
SQL UPDATE statements can easily be constructed for the 2 records from the elements ofarray_values($data[0]) and array_values($data[1]) e.g. :-
$sql = "UPDATE $tblname SET "first='Michael',last'"="'Greveson',address='109, Glen Rd'" WHERE id=9";and $sql = "UPDATE $tblname SET "first='Bradwell',last'"="'Johnson',address='37 Edgar St'" WHERE id=39";
I've found this useful for updating 10 records in tables ( of members of a club) with 900 records and 16 fields. Its very much faster to make edits to records 5 at a time rather than singly.
HTML forms can handle/send arrays just fine. PHP can receive those arrays just fine. (name="myarray[mykey]" )
to the original question, it is possible to send a multi_query with the mysqli library. (mysqli_multi_query). Said multi-query is just a string of queries tacked together with semicolons.
Following Rvan85's suggestion above, I have been trying to get the following html form to pass arrays :-
{Version 1}Function addrec(){ print('<form method="post" action="' . $SELF. '">');
echo'<input type="text" name="myarray[name]" value="John">';echo'<input type="text" name="myarray[job]" value="Director">';
echo'<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Go">'; // output remaining linesecho'</form>
'; } // addrec and the received POST array is:-
$_POST = array('myarray'=>'Array','submit'=>'Go')
If the two input statements are replaced by:-
echo'<input type="text" name="name" value="John">';echo'<input type="text" name="job" value="Director">';
Then, of course we get
$_POST = array('name'=>'John','job'=>'Director','submit'=>'Go')
Why does Version 1 not work. I am using PHP 126.96.36.199.
Version 1 worked just fine. Print_r $_POST['myarray']
Hi StarLion
Yep, absolutely right many thanks - my brain clearly out of gear....
(guess you meant print_r ($_POST['myarray'] )

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Head Men's Soccer Keith Fulk has announced his first two additions to the 2012 men's soccer team as the local talents of Matt Campbell and Josh Davis have signed National Letters of Intent to compete at Saint Leo University beginning in the fall of 2012.
Losing five players from the 2011 squad, both Campbell and Davis will assist the Lions immediately at the midfield and forward positions. In total, six NLI's, among others, will join the Lions' 17 returners as they get set to tackle a 15-match schedule, a slate which includes the new 'plus-one' schedule format.
"We're always looking to improve our team," said Fulk. "This class has us moving in the right direction."
Matt Campbell
5-10, Midfield/Defense
Spring Hill, Fla.
F.W. Springstead High School
Campbell joins the Lions from Springstead High School where he competed under the guidance of Coach Sal Calabrese for four seasons. Compiling an outstanding high school resume, the 2011-12 team captain was selected to the All-North Suncoast First Team three of his four seasons. The incoming Biology Major truly shined during his senior year as he was named District 10 Player of the Year, as well as being tabbed a member of the FACA All-Star Team, and earning the Hernando County scoring title. He amassed 28 goals and seven assists for 63 points en route to that accolade.
Campbell was also a steady leader of the Hernando Heat Football Club where he was selected to attend Real Madrid's select training in Madrid, Spain in 2010.
Coach Fulk's Perspective: "Matt is a good athlete and will come in and make an mpact on our team. He is extremely fit and versatile. He plays with good pace and strikes a heavy ball. We know he was heavily recruited by multiple Division I schools, so we're expecting him to make an impact on the field and in the classroom."
Josh Davis
5-8, Midfield
Tampa, Fla.
Land O'Lakes High School
Davis, an incoming Sport Business major, was a standout player first for King High School and, most recently, Land O' Lakes High School. During his last two seasons with the Land O'Lakes Gators, Davis exploded for 51 goals, including a county-best 33 during his senior season. His efforts on the field earned him Offensive Player of the Year accolades, while guiding the team to the 3A State Final. His prior time at King HS saw him earn his first Offensive Player of the Year award as he notched a team-best 15 goals. In addition to his high school career, Davis also earned time with his club squad, the Brandon Flames.
Coach Fulk's Perspective: "Josh is a great athlete that will add speed up front or on the wing. He is a very dynamic player who will work hard on the field and in the classroom."
The Lions will get their first crack at an opponent when they open up their fall exhibition season on Saturday, August 18, against Division I Florida Gulf Coast.

RHurst - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkUpgraded my iPhone 4 and got a Samsung Skyrocket. Love the phone, except the screen. Although I'm 41 I'm pretty good at reading small fonts, but the small fonts on the iPhone 4 screen were great, while on the Skyrocket it's a mess. I have to increase the zoon to a point where I'm scrolling websites left to right, which I hate. I could get full width on the iPhone 4 even reading forums...not so on the Skyrocket.
So what I want from a review is this: will the Galaxy note and/or the Skyrocket HD give me the same crisp sense I got with the iPhone 4 when reading? That's all I care about when it comes to resolutions CRISP TEXT!
Thanks! Reply

* FTSE 100 index adds 1 percent
* Barclays adds 8.6 percent to hit two-year highs
* Resistance at 6,300 broken, seen as support for future
* Reckitt Benckiser rallies in late trade on Lat Am deal
By Alistair Smout
LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - A surge in Barclays' shares led Britain's benchmark index past the psychologically important 6,300 level on Tuesday, as the blue chip bank's planned overhaul raised hopes for the troubled sector's revival.
Barclays gained 8.4 percent, leading FTSE 100 gainers and adding over 12 points to the index alone, after unveiling plans to slash annual costs by up to 2 billion pounds ($3 billion).
The bank plans to prune its investment bank and axe at least 3,700 jobs. It also raised its dividend and reported a 26 percent rise in adjusted pretax profit for 2012.
"They're not going to change things overnight - it's a huge overhaul. But they are taking things on board and pushing them in the right direction," said Richard Curr, head of dealing at Prime Markets, adding that technical factors supported Barclays' surge.
"We were looking for a firm break of the (January) high at 307p, and once it got up to 310p by mid-morning, it was clear that it was breaking out."
The stock hit 325p for the first time since February 2011, and was the most heavily traded stock in the index, trading over three times its 90-day average volume.
Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland were the second and third biggest gainers, rising 5.1 percent and 4.1 percent respectively, with traders citing the implications of the Barclays news for a sector seeking to reassure investors after years of crisis.
The FTSE 100 closed up 61.32 points, or 1 percent higher, at 6,338.38 points, with banks alone adding over 27 points to the index.
The day was the index's best session since the start of the month, with banks helping it return to 6,300 for the first time this week.
The index rose around 8 percent in January to reach a 2013 peak of 6,354.46 points, before slipping back over the course of February to trade below 6,300.
"The main trend is up despite the corrective break last week. Typically, buyers look for value during a correction since they are confident in trading the trend," James Hyerczyk, technical analyst at Autochartist, said in a trading note.
While 6,300 acted as a support for the index during January, it had put a cap on the market during February until now.
The rally was broad-based, with every sector bar materials contributing to the rally, including stocks that are usually less sensitive to swings in economic optimism.
Supporting the day's gains was a late surge by pharmaceutical company Reckitt Benckiser, up 3 percent after striking a deal to sell Bristol-Myers Squibb drugs in Latin America.
"The stock was rampant all of last year, and the market obviously likes this deal," Curr said.
"I don't know whether you'd want to be buying it right here though, as it's a nice safe stock ... If things started to get a bit more ugly, however, it might be a stock that you'd want to go back to."

already exists in proprietary interface systems designed by individual
manufacturers that allow a high level of communication between only the
components in their lines. MerCruiser's SmartCraft is a good example.
This system-integration technology links engine data such as rpm, fuel

from electronic sensors for rudder angle and trim tab position, fuel load,
freshwater and waste tank levels, and more. This wealth of intelligence
is not collected just for the sake of a head-spinning array of readouts
at the helm. It is processed, passed back and forth between pertinent
components all working together to draw conclusions—and perhaps even
take action—based on their combined analysis. "Conversations"
between your GPS, fuel-flow meter, and fuel-tank level sensors will result
in an accurate, up-to-the-minute calculation of your cruising range. An
anomaly in the relationship between your fuel flow and rpm combined with
your engine's electronic memory of past maintenance could result
in a notification at the helm that it's time to change your fuel

A MOTORCYCLIST has suffered serious injuries in a crash outside York.
The incident happened on the A1237 between the A59 and Wetherby Road at about 11.15am.
A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Police said the road was closed in both directions while investigations into the crash - which involved only the motorcycle - took place, and motorists would be unable to get from or to Rufforth or Knapton by that route.
The spokeswoman said the road was "likely to remained closed for some time", but although initial reports of the second injury had suggested a second incident, it now appeared the motorcycle was carrying a pillion passenger, who was also injured in the incident.
The spokeswoman said the rider was thought to have suffered a suspected broken collarbone.

SWINDON Town once again showed their intention to play a passing style of football this season but they must learn not to give the ball away in key areas.
It was that trend in the second half in the friendly contest with Championship side Leeds United that proved costly as the visitors went home with a 2-1 victory.
Town went into the game against Leeds with a boost that they could just be about to add to their squad.
The club were given permission to play Southampton youngster Jordan Turnbull in the heart of their defence with the two sides looking to strike a deal for a longer temporary switch to the County Ground.
The opening 45 minutes was a typical pre-season match, neither side looking to go out all guns blazing in front of nearly 4,000 fans.
Mark Cooper would have been pleased with the way that his side passed the ball around, while youngsters Josh Lelan and Turnbull were on the whole comfortable with the ball at their feet, but what would have concerned the Town boss was that at times his side gave the ball away too easily.
As the game got underway it was clear that both teams were intent on keeping possession, playing patiently and working the way into finding an opening.
And it was Dave Hockaday's Championship side that worked the first opening in the 13th minute when Michael Tonge broke free in the Town box and forced Wes Foderingham into action.
Then two minutes later Leeds were in front. Souleymane Doukara had spun away from his marker and slid the ball across the Town six yard box for Wales international Steve Morison to tuck home.
Neither side had really looked threatening up until that point and while it gave the half a bit more intent, the final 15 minutes of the period went back to just being nice.
However, before then, Town had managed to draw level after giving their visitors a couple of warnings.
The hosts went close on 27 minutes when a long ball from Massimo Luongo saw captain Nathan Thompson make a darting run into the Leeds box but his effort just went wide of Stuart Taylor's post.
Swindon levelled matters four minutes later through Michael Smith after Yaser Kasim's corner was flicked on by Raphael Branco and was half cleared to the Town striker to bury.
Leeds went 2-1 up early in the second-half when Nathan Thompson attempted to switch play but his cross-field ball was cut out and Rudy Austin took control.
The visiting midfielder played in Doukara but Foderingham took him out leaving referee Simon Hooper no choice but to point to the spot which Austin duly converted.
Town struggled to maintain their flow in the second half, giving the ball away too easily and spent periods chasing the game and Leeds shadows.
As the match petered out into the usual pre-season fare that is served up at this time of year, Town fans on the whole will be happy with the opening 45 minutes, the second on the other hand still needs some work before the campaign gets underway on August 9 against Scunthorpe United.

An archaeological dig aims to uncover new information about Ilkley's ancient Roman fort and the lives of the soldiers who once lived there.
Archaeologists are digging trial trenches on Castle Hill – close to the Manor House Museum and All Saints Parish Church.
The site was opened up for members of the public to visit yesterday, Wednesday, and find out more about the explorations underway.
The investigation has been instructed by property developer, Burley Developments, in consultation with English Heritage and West Yorkshire Archaeological Advisory Service.
Burley Developments is hoping to develop the plot, which is on the site of former Glovers Garage land, for housing, but first needs to find out if Roman remains lie beneath.
On-Site Archaeology Ltd of York is undertaking trial trenching on Castle Hill just outside the west gate of the fort.
The history of the Roman fort at Ilkley – said by some to be named Olicana – is based largely on early 20th Century excavations in the north-western quadrant and a single trench through the defences excavated in 1962.
The fort is thought to have been established in the late first century AD, on a knoll overlooking the River Wharfe, as part of the Governor Agricola's campaigns of conquest in the Pennine region.
The fort lay at the junction of two important Roman roads, one running east – west from York to Ribchester in Lancashire and the other approaching, via a crossing of the Wharfe, from Aldborough to the north-east.
The new dig is located in an area close to a Roman road leading up to the fort gate and probably lies above the defensive ditches which ran around the fort or an area where there were buildings, such as temples and shrines, where the soldiers worshipped their gods.
The great stone altar to the goddess Verbeia, spirit of the River Wharfe, now in the Manor House Museum, came from just outside the fort.
The first fort at Ilkley was said to be founded by Gallo-Roman general Agricola in about 80 AD, and was largely constructed of wood. A second fort was built in around 161 AD which survived for 30 years, before being burnt down.
A stone fort was then built in its place, and this survived until the end of the Roman period in the late 4th or early 5th Century.

vanwazltoff - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linki bought a zalman heat sink when i built my i5-2500k rig, i had descent but not ideal thermals for a month then the performance dropped, no matter what thermal paste and thermal cleaner i used i could never get back over 4.2ghz without excessive noise from the fan and there is a very obnoxious rattle when fan ramps up. if only newegg and amazon had hyper 212s in stock that week. worst purchase i ever made on that build Reply
Ammaross - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkReminds me of the woe I felt when the Scythe Mugen 2 RevB disappeared into the abyss of discontinued products....t'was a great cooler for the price, beating out even closed-loop coolers and running in stride with the Noctua NH-D14 (at least in the reviews you could find with both in them). The Hyper 212 (Evo, but Plus is same if you swap the fan) is nice, but can't perform well enough for an everyday 4.4Ghz on an Ivy Bridge. It's having a hard enough time keeping my wife's 955 BE happy at stock (tried to OC, but ran into stability/therm problems just bumping +300MHz). I'll have to find the next great thing between the Hyper 212+ and NH-D14 price range. Any well-researched suggestions? Reply
kyuu - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkBeen using a Zalman cooler for my i5-2500k @ ~4.4GHz for quite a while now. Thermals have been great and noise isn't an issue (as long as I remember to clean it out now and again). Used Zalman for my preceding rig too, also worked great. Reply

DanNeely - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkWD's large increase in NAND over Seagate's implementation could help performance a lot; 32GB is the same as the SSD cache drives showing up in a fair number of systems and is big enough for the OS a few apps/games and frequently accessed user data. As long as they've put enough NAND chips for decent bandwidth and included a decent controller it looks like they've got all the benefits of adding a cache drive, without the increased volume penalty that limits its use by OEM laptop manufacturers and precludes aftermarket upgrades. Reply
name99 - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkThere are two issues here:
(a) To make a hybrid disk work well, you need decent algorithms. You want to cache material that is used frequently RIGHT AWAY, but you don't want to cache material (especially large files) that are only used once, eg copying large files or viewing movies.
It's not trivial --- you might think second access would be good enough, but it's common to copy a movie in, then soon thereafter read it. So how about third access? Well, it's also common to read that movie into your backup system soon after you copied it in. This is getting nasty --- do we have to wait for fourth access before we cache? Or do we track reads vs writes?
Seagate's algorithms don't seem very good. It is possible that their lack of competition so far reflects the fact that no-one can come up with OK algorithms?
(b) In many ways variable performance is worse than constantly bad performance, which your brain eventually adjusts too. I installed a Seagate Momentus XT in the laptop of my GF and after a month she told me she though the computer was broken because sometimes it felt so fast, other times so slow.
A similar data point is that Apple, who know a thing or two about UI, in Mountain Lion seem to have tried to optimize for "reproducibility" rather than raw performance, using algorithms that might have a lower mean performance but have low variance --- this is especially obvious in the new VM system.
So it may be that this path is just flawed in principle; it's fighting against human nature. Reply
hsew - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkI would just make an algorithm to cache small, regularly used files that the hdd cannot access quickly. Reply
LesMoss - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkThe problem is that a drive does not know what a "file". Just blocks. Reply
Alexvrb - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkThat is true of software agnostic setups like Seagate's Momentus XT. This is not going to be like that. It is going to be more like Intel SRT or Dataplex, as MrSpage discussed already. Software.
This limits its uses, of course. The caching software is probably going to be limited primarily to Win7/8. But that covers the majority of use cases, especially Ultrabooks and highend x86 Tablets. So I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks (software agnostic vs software driven).
In fact, if the drive performs well and is adopted by OEMs, we may see Seagate drop their current approach and follow suit. Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkValid points!
Intels SRT caching doesn't cache video files at all - a smart decision, in my opinion (I'm using it in my main desktop). They're also caching on a per-block basis rather than per-file. This is also very smart. Overall you won't need anywhere close to 20 GB jsut to cache your Win 7, which may use 20 GB of disk space. And nVelo Dataplex caches upon the 1st file access - otherwise the perceived speed increase wouldn't be worth the investment.
They can do this because caching is done in the OS by a driver. It knows the file type and generally much more than a "dumb" HDD can know. Overall I like the idea of hybrid drives.. but I feel the cache is put into the wrong position here. I'd rather have some small NAND socket on the mainboard (maybe mSATA), which can be populated with a cache the size you want and have caching working for any HDD you want and on any chipset. If the NAND is worn out simply toss a new one into the socket. Reply
Alexvrb - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkSupport for easily accessible mSATA by more laptop OEMs would be great! The other issue would be software standardization - ideally you'd let the OS handle it, or the chipset maker. I wish AMD had an SRT-like caching implementation on some of their higher-end APU chipsets. Especially now that they have some inexpensive lower power Trinity parts that have been helping drive the prices of Ultrathins down.
I was thinking about this the other day, Crucial has some nice M4 mSATA SSDs, and there's the Mushkin Atlas mSATA. Both seem like they'd be good candidates for SRT, but again I'd like to see wider support for this sort of setup by more manufacturers. Reply
zebrax2 - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkWouldn't it be logical to cache files below a certain file size since HDDs are fairly fast with large files, it is the small files that bogs it down Reply
name99 - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkAs has been pointed out already, the HD doesn't know what files are. It doesn't get told about files, all it sees is a stream of BLOCK commands along the lines of
"read 64KiB starting at block 0xFF1556576565"
"write 32KiB starting at block 0x001454564FA"
The best you could do is use the lengths of the read/write requests as one more piece of data to try to improve your caching. But all these things are not trivial --- you have to also have rapid-access data structures somewhere that track which blocks are being used in which ways, to look for the re-use patterns of interest, and the more information you want to use, the more rapidly these data structures grow. Reply
Alexvrb - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkSoftware. See my post above. This makes the caching solution reliant on a particular OS/driver combo. But it also makes it much more powerful. Reply
name99 - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkYou can't justify what they are selling by saying "well, if they sold something else it would be awesome". Reply
jjj - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkThe second source is Toshiba,they announced their first hybrind way before this announcement.
About this drive we can guess the HDD controller is Marvell since ,i don't think, LSI even has a 7mm HDD SoC but no idea what controlls the NAND,would be cool if Marvell had a native hybrid controller.Guess we'll find out more on the 13th and then on sept 21 see what Seagate has new. Reply
extide - Monday, September 10, 2012 - linkHybrid drives with a decent amount of cache! I would love to recommend hybrid drives to friends and colleagues, but with only 4-8GB of NAND on them I really have a hard time doing so. Now, with 32GB, I think we have finally hit a point where these drives will actually work very well. I would love to see these sort of drives becoming the 'de-facto' standard in low end (especially for laptops) essentially replacing non hybrid drives entirely. Reply

Hair is a contentious issue within the black community. Other than color no Afrocentric feature identifies difference more than hair. I have dread locks down to the middle of my back, and daily I must deal with whites who make racist comments about how exotic it is, and blacks who are disgusted based on the so-called ugliness of its appearance. Note to all whites reading this, no you cannot touch my hair, it is not a science experiment. To blacks my dreadlocks are ugly because they are natural. As a community we have so internalized racism that we view ourselves as ugly. We routinely refer to good hair, as hair that is straight or taking on the characteristics of white hair, and bad hair as nappy or natural.
Much of female identity is caught up in hair. Throughout history, and across cultures long flowing locks have been understood as a womans crowning glory. For black women whose natural tight curls, resist lying limply down our back it has helped to support the image of us as 'unwomen'. We do not marvel in our gravity defying hair, or wonder at its unique ability to be shaped into so many different styles. Instead we seek to alter it with hot combs, and chemical relaxers to mirror caucasian hair, in the process wounding our naturally beautiful hair, and expressing contempt for ourselves.
Like every WOC I have done the relaxers, jerry curls (yes I know I am dating myself) and weaves, all in an attempt to run from who I really am. As a proud WOC I now realize that how I was born is beautiful, even it if is not reflected in the world around me. There is power and energy in black hair that refuses to be permanently etiolated, despite our most valiant efforts. We must learn to recognize that this self hatred that we have internalized is destructive not only to WOC but to blacks as a people. Though the media continues to perpetuate white womanhood as the embodiment of beauty, such representations are an attempt to maintain the racial power structure, and are in no way reflective of what constitutes actual beauty. When we resist altering ourselves for the sake of the supposed acceptance by the white community, it is an act of self love, and it is deeply meaningful. It speaks of valuing ourselves as black women, it speaks of knowing intrinsically that power, validation and agency are our natural born rights. We can only be usurped if we own that which seeks to constitute us as inferior. I am woman, I am black, and my glory is not only my physical body, but the testimony of my ever enduring soul.

Jim Davidson, who published the Cleveland, Ga., Courier, was the consummate old-time editor who tediously hand-set one at a time every letter of every word of every sentence in his four-page newspaper long hours into the night, but never on Sunday.
North Georgia over the years produced a bumper crop of entertaining and sometimes controversial newspaper editors.
When zipper inventor and manufacturer Talon Inc., announced it would locate in Cleveland in the summer of 1952, the normally reserved weekly Cleveland Courier shouted the news in 2-inch headlines.
Probably a few longtime Hall County residents have an old "chicken tag" lying around, having saved it from the 1950s and '60s or found it at a garage or yard sale somewhere.
It could have been Lyman Hall instead of Old Joe on Gainesville's downtown square. In 1901, Somebody suggested a statue of Hall, the county's namesake and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, be erected in the middle of the square.
An important piece of Hall County history relating to the founding of Gainesville in 1821 will be highlighted Saturday at Air Line Baptist Church Cemetery.
Community postmaster jobs once were considered a valuable political plum, and therefore were much lusted over.

It takes a clockLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
It takes a clock 2 seconds to strike 2 o`clock.
How long will it take to strike 3 o`clock?
AnswerIt will take 4 seconds.
Since the clock strikes 2 o`clock in 2 seconds, these two seconds are the interval between two strikes. Between the first and the third strike there are two intervals, so it will be 4 seconds.

Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Angel MistI received a sample of this and after using it a few times I fell in love with it. It is a nice crisp floral with a hint of citrus. It isn't over powering, and it wore very well. It lasted really well, faded nicely, and I received quite a few compliments while wearing it. The bottle is very pretty and sleek. All in all, it is a great fragrance in my opinion — 7 years, 9 months agolesa5363 | 352 reviews

Not My PreferenceThis invokes mixed emotions because it reminds me of baby powder and it also reminds me of my grandma's perfumes. Perhaps it's that ultra soft scent it has that doesn't appeal to me as much but I do use this a clothing refresher for some articles of clothing that have been in the closet for a while and pick up the scent of my candles or new clothing that I haven't tossed in the dryer first. But ...read morepersonally, as a fragrance, I may be one of the very few people that doesn't love it or adore it; I find it mediocre. It sure has a pleasant scent and it does linger as well as placed in a simple, goddess like bottle but I don't believe it may be for me.

Pretty & Light, Nothing SpecialI've kept going back to this light, powdery/floral scent at various times over the years, simply because it's my "girly" fragrance. I just haven't taken the time to find a new one. I currently have a small "Heavenly" Angel Mist because of a travel engagement ~ it fit the 2oz. liquid requirement.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
NO matter whose name is engraved on the williamhill.com UK Championship trophy come Sunday evening, it's Luca Brecel people will remember when they look back at this tournament.
Shaun Murphy hung his head in relief on the side of the table after ending the teenager's fairytale in yesterday's quarter-final – but the youngster took him to the very brink.
Brecel's been nicknamed the "little Belgian star" back home and the 17-year-old almost pulled off one of the tournament's all-time shocks.
An epic match went into a dramatic decider and, after Murphy was left crestfallen when a massive kick on a tricky red down the cushion saw it hit the jaws and settle over the bottom pocket, the Magician was contemplating a trip to a finale of a very different kind this weekend – the X Factor finals.
But, needing just the colours, Brecel got on the wrong side of the blue and rattled both sides of the bag on a long pink. Murphy held his nerve to dispatch the ball into the middle pocket and will meet Ali Carter this afternoon for a place in Sunday's showpiece.
It was the second time Brecel had been found wanting when victory was in his grasp. World number four Murphy enjoyed similar fortune in the frame before when the youngster again missed the pink.
"I thought that I had lost the match a couple of times," Murphy said. "I really thought I was out. I got the kick on the last red and it is the thing of nightmares.
"Adrenalin and a little bit of inexperience at that stage of his snooker just cost him (Brecel) in the end. I am just relieved. It is one of those matches. If I win, I am expected to win and if I lose it is a massive shock."
Murphy revealed he was given the Alex Ferguson "hairdryer" treatment from his manager Brandon Parker at the interval and said the tongue-lashing had been needed to put him back on the right path.
He added: "I didn't feel any pressure in the match until I was walking down the stairs. It just hit me. I was all over the place for the first four frames.
"We are a really good team, Brandon and I. It was a really good time for the interval. I had a little regroup and without his words then I would have lost the match.
"The sense of relief and the sense of pleasure from this match is as much as if I had won 6-0 with four maximums. I probably won't play as badly as that again or be put under as much pressure as that again."
Brecel has wowed the Barbican crowd with his composed play and his disregard on the table for the game's established stars.
Despite losing the match, he said he could take numerous positives from the "best week of my life".
"I cued it perfectly but it didn't go in," Brecel said of the heartbreaking pink that ended his dreams of emulating Ronnie O'Sullivan, the last 17-year-old to win a tournament of this size.
"Shaun said to me that I had a fantastic week and I played very well. He was very nice but it doesn't help.
"It's definitely been the best week of my life and I think it will be easier in the smaller tournaments now because I have had this experience. It all helps.
"I played well. It was a very good game and I enjoyed it. It is very positive. I expected to get to the quarter-finals and I had a good chance to win. But Shaun deserved to win. I am ready (to go to the next level) but I am only 17. I have so much time to get better and better."

Tonsillectomy, the surgical removal of masses of lymphoid tissue located in the back of the mouth, may have seemed like a childhood rite of passage for many children of previous generations. Tonsillectomy became a popular treatment for recurrent sore throats and respiratory infections as early as the 1800s, and its frequency peaked in the United States in the late 1950s to the 1970s. Today, doctors are more conservative in recommending tonsillectomy. The number of tonsillectomies performed in the United States has declined from over 1 million per year in the 1970s, to about 530,000 per year in 2006, due to growing skepticism in the medical community about the utility of tonsillectomy for infection control. Despite a reduction in the number of tonsillectomies performed for repeated infections, there may be an increase in the number of tonsillectomies performed for airway or alimentary tract obstruction.
Often performed in conjunction with removal of the adenoid (a mass of lymphoid tissue located behind the nasal passages), tonsillectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is generally well-tolerated. Most cases are done as same-day ambulatory procedures. Nevertheless, rare complications such as infection or bleeding may occur following surgery, and an absence from school for seven to ten days is usually required.

Homeles - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIs there any *real* benefit to the "armor?" On a scale from one to tacky, the thing is a total eyesore.
I have never liked the Sabertooth boards, and I'm disappointed to see it here. I guess it must be making ASUS money, though. Thank goodness it's removable, I guess.
If there were an actual performance benefit to it, like being an effective passive cooling solution, I'd consider keeping it. Preventing board warp is not something I'm concerned about, though. Reply
danjw - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIt is a heatsink. So, yes it does serve a purpose, other then the added rigidity. The idea is that it supplies additional cooling for all the components on the motherboard that don't have separate heatsinks. Reply

daos - Friday, July 19, 2013 - linkummm northbridge? and where would that be? Reply
ffiarpg - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe "armor" on this motherboard has nothing to do with supporting graphics card weight. Your case should support the bulk of the weight. Since the motherboard is secured to the case with so many screws it would not bend even if it was supporting the entire video card. The pci express connector would just snap off the motherboard. Reply
sherlockwing - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe "armor" is for protecting the board from dust & hot exhaust from Dual or Triple Fan cooled GPU. Reply
stargater1 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkActually, I have seen the PCB on some GPUs flex and bend from the weight. You have to remember you only have the PCIe and one little screw, basically suspending it in mid air. And as for weight, lets look at the GTX Titan which is roughly 3lbs. Weight of a gtx 690 was roughly 4lbs. Weight of a gtx 780 is roughly the same as a Titan. May not seem like much, but in terms of being suspended like that, it is. Reply
IanCutress - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe armor is on the rear as well as a steel plate, designed to stop the board from warping when using a large GPU. The motherboard will start to warp from the weight before the PCIe connector snaps. Reply
Emad - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - linkHi Ian,
I'm not sure whether it's just me and I may be wrong but from what I see the armor is lacking the fan like they did to the Sabertooth armor. So, the question is do they design Maximus VI Formula strictly for water cooling? Or a good airflow is sufficient as long as you don't oc the mobo? I'm not a fan of water cooling. What's your opinion on this? Reply
JeremyHill - Sunday, July 28, 2013 - linkWhat your saying is true logically, but just to throw in my own experience here, I have actually had 2 Motherboards bend on me in the past 10 years. When I was a kid my parents bought a Dell, back when internet was brand new, 97 or 98 as I recall, and it came with one of those rinkydink 1/2 pound voodoo cards installed. over the course of 4 years it did somehow actually cause my mobo to bend a noticeable amount, perhaps 1/4" at the apex. Another one being my computer i built in 2010 using an old HP computer I had, I put a gtx480 inside and the same thing happened, about 1/4" bend.
Having said that, the bend had zero affect on the performance of my PC, and didnt bother me at all because I couldnt see it. Also whose to say it was cause by the GPU? could have been manufacturing defects I just didnt notice until then. Regardless the armor looks pretty dope and it helps keep the Mobo cooler, assuming a cooler mobo even increases performance by a nominal ammount, so i vote +1 on the formula, I'm personally getting it over the hero for my next build, as well as a second Titan for 2xSLI Reply

This translates into only ONE 16X slot , or 2X8 , or 1x8 and 2x4
There is no room for anything if you are using high end Card.
Thats why I allways get the Xeon Based CPU which has 40 Lanes .. the real thing.

VectorRoll - Wednesday, June 26, 2013 - linkMake some of these mobos AMD and I would snatch one up in a heartbeat. I like Intel and all but AMD seems to be lacking in choices right now. Take that Armor for example. No AMD mobo has it as of yet. They are all on Intel mobo's. I personally like the look of the Armor. But I really want it for the cooling features it offer's.
I will say that I personally like the look of the Tuf series a bit better. But I do like the look of the ROG series as well and I have a Red Phantom case that would go great with one. It is just that I am wanting more choices in AMD at the moment. I have made enough Intel systems already and am currently working on making AMD systems.
I personally think ASUS is just not spreading the features out among all there series enough and as well as balancing out the choices between AMD and Intel. They need to spread the wealth a bit more sort of speak. :) Reply

For 33 minutes on Wednesday, it appeared that Vladimir Yakunin, the powerful head of Russia's state railway corporation, and a close personal friend of president Vladimir Putin, was out of a job.
His resignation, apparently, had been demanded by prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, and all the signs indicated that a behind the scenes bureaucratic turf battle was underway – a number of Mr Medvedev's associates have had their careers cut short recently by people from Yakunin's hard-line faction, and this smacked of retribution.

A CARE home in Pershore is throwing open its doors for a day at the beach-inspired event.
Residents at Heathlands in Station Road, Pershore, will be heading back in time with a 1950s inspired beach party to mark National Care Home Open Day.
The Sanctuary Care home will be open to all on Friday, June 20, as part of the initiative which aims to forge lasting links between residents and their local communities.
For the special day the home's gardens will be transformed into the scene of a 1950s resort, there will be sandpits, bunting and flags galore, plus a puppet show between 11am and noon.
At 2pmthe mayor of Pershore, councillor Tony Rowley, will officially open the home's new corner shop and gazebo.
He will be accompanied by Worcestershire County Councillor Liz Tucker and her husband, former mayor of Pershore Charles Tucker.
There will also be traditional ice creams served from an old fashioned trike.
Anita Fletcher, home manager at Heathlands, said: "We wanted to do something a little different for National Care Home Open Day. Our residents fondly remember days spent building sandcastles with their children so we wanted to recreate these special memories for them, and the people of Pershore, by throwing a spectacular day beside the seaside."

ECS Booth: Components in Gold, AIOs and an Ultrabook?!by Ian Cutress on 6/11/2012 2:23 AM EST

Omoronovo - Monday, June 11, 2012 - linkOptical drives are a dying breed and certainly extremely rare in the ultrabook form factor, but many people (including myself) would still be interested in having one. It's all well and good carrying around a usb optical drive in case you need it, but this seems like it goes against the point of ultrabooks if you have to lug a whole bunch of peripherals around anyway.
Did ECS have any details on expected internal specifications or display resolution? IVB is pretty much a given along with HD4000, but if it has 8GB of ram or more with at least 1600x900 display resolution, I would happily pay a premium over lower resolution optical-drive free ultrabooks. Reply
HHChadW - Monday, June 11, 2012 - linkToo bad it is all ECS, which I believe is Chinese for 'crap electronics.' Sorry, but I prefer serious hardware for serious tasks for even for gaming, not half-baked junk that burns out randomly. Reply
Arnulf - Monday, June 11, 2012 - link"As you can expect, ECS were unwilling to explain how exactly their Super Alloy chokes work, but advertise that they offer 1.5x longevity, low electromagnetic interference, and up to 30% current delivery. In reality, 99% of users will not ever see a difference in operation, however I am informed that demand is there from various sources to increase the longevity of the power delivery."
In reality, chokes are passive components with no life-span, short of shoddy construction which woudl lead to rpemature break-down of insulation coating. They are either saying that these chokes last 1.5 times infinity or that their other chokes suck so much that they become defective long before capacitors wear out or FETs explode ... either way, pretty stupid of them, They are obviously targeting clueless morons with their products.

Sleep problems are common during pregnancy. Sleep studies
tell us that hormonal changes, plus the discomforts of later pregnancy, can
break up a pregnant woman's sleep cycle.
You can
take a few simple measures to get the best possible sleep during pregnancy.
If you continue to have problems with insomnia, go to bed
only when you're tired, and get out of bed when you're wide awake in the middle
of the night.
Medicines are seldom used to aid sleep during
pregnancy, because most are dangerous to a growing baby. If you have sleep apnea,
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may be safe to use during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about treatment options.

Midge season is here! Run inside, lock your doors and close the windows: Scotland has been overrun with bloodsucking beasties.
This last week has been a pleasant surprise. After forecasts of frequent showers and far more grey cloud than we would care for, we had resigned ourselves to the idea that we would be facing another dull week of weather. Yet the sun became a prominent feature towards the weeks end, much to the delight of our guests and - unfortunately - the local midge population who quickly gathered in swarms around the Island.
With the rain keeping these pesky flies at bay, we're sitting on the fence this week unsure to hope for more sunshine or more rain (to give us a break from their troublesome bites.
Today: Light rain showers to persist throughout the day
Monday: Another showery day ahead, with some peaks of sunshine in the afternoon
Tuesday: Looks to be mostly unchanged, with more sunny intervals and rain showers
Wednesday: Today will remain mostly dry, with light winds accompanying. Rain Showers are likely to fall briefly in the late afternoon
Thursday: More dry weather ahead, though moderate gusts of wind may add a chill to the otherwise mild day.
Friday: Temperatures climbing to a comfortable 19°C today, though the sun is unlikely to make an appearance through thick white clouds
Saturday: The week looks to end on a mild note, with only brief showers predicted throughout the day.
For those coming to visit this week, an anti-bug spray may be worth the investment to save yourselves the suffering of Scotland's most irksome residents while enjoying the moderately dry week ahead. Though for any wishing to stay indoors we still have plenty to keep you occupied with our vast leisure facility.
For our keen wildlife spotters, you may be lucky to catch a glimpse of a seil or two along the stoney shores, as they lounge out on some of the warmer days.

Recreational Boaters of California is urging boaters to let the state's Water Resources Control Board know of their opposition to a proposed requirement that marinas and clubs with 10 or more slips and moorings obtain a state permit and comply with new regulations that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The proposal says it would be required of moorings and marinas located along the coast, bays, estuaries and certain freshwater mixing zones, such as the San-Joaquin Delta.
The control board plans to conduct stakeholder workshops next month and vote on the proposal in November.
