While driving back home from a show today on a seven hourdrive from San Francisco area back home. One has time to reflect. I was thinking aboutslaying the dragon or what it feels like sitting on top of the world when alittle story came to mind and I'll share it with you. As it rings true after most shows and was what I wasfeeling today.
I have a friend who is a mostly retired sandal maker afterover 40 years –We used to always eat Japanese food together at shows around thewest-places like Park City or Tuscan Az. or other exotic locals.
When he had put his 40 years in doing shows he gave it upfor strictly mail order. Now I should say his name is Lee Risler who is the well-knownone-armed sandal maker of Kiwi sandals. He lost his arm near the end of doingshows but never stopped making shoes. He makes a mean sandal and now his son isdoing shows and the making shoes. He was in a car wreck on the way to a show.His story is very touching and is on the web if you care to look. I suggest youdo as it's worth the read as it's the best part of why we do what we do.
But I digress as this story involves the best part of theshow. I one night at dinner asked him what he was going to miss the most aboutbeing at a show and his answer is what I felt today and every time I leave ashow. He said driving home he felt like a King- one who conquered the show andwas at the top of the world –slayed the dragon at least for the day or two hehad till he got home when his wife said something like welcome home please takeout the trash and empty the cat box. The kingdom comes down hard. And fast.
So today just for seven hours or so I was at the top of theworld and yes I cleaned the cat box this afternoon.The kindom went puff alongwith the dragon.

Mail letters to Letters, Santa Fe Reporter, PO Box 2306, Santa Fe, NM 87504, deliver them to 132 E. Marcy St., fax them to 505-988-5348 or email them to the editor
Late Friday afternoon I was leisurely strolling across the sunlit Plaza and ran into Raymond Mardyks, who was featured prominently in your article on 2012, "My Oh Mayan!." Instead of commenting on the colors of his aura or bothering him for an autographed copy of his Maya Calendar: Voice of the Galaxy, I asked what he thought 2012 portends for the political implications of life on Earth in the context of extraterrestrial visitation and UFOs (an area of great interest to me). Well get this: Without batting an eye he said that he was privy to information that there was a special council in ancient Atlantis thousands of years ago that collaborated with the ET race the Pleiadians and some space confederation who deemed it best that our planet Earth be placed under a quarantine ruling from otherworldly contact until the master galactic alignment occurs in 2012. Then, I guess, our intergalactic brethren will be coming here in droves! Isn't it curious that talk show diva Oprah Winfrey has just announced ending her program in 2011? Might Oprah be aiming for the stars?

False Beliefs
I'm writing about Alexa Schirtzinger's "Preaching to Converts."
According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 44 percent of adults believe that pot is just as, or more, dangerous than alcohol.
Until this false belief can be changed, marijuana will probably remain a criminalized substance. The fact is marijuana is an extremely safe product (no reported deaths in the 5,000 year history of its use).
People consume marijuana for the same reasons they consume alcohol. Why not offer adults the much safer alternative to alcohol?

More Marijuana
I love the paper and you do great work. As a patient since 2001 in Northern California, I believe more articles about current Medical Cannabis laws, especially one that sheds light on the Department Of Health's (DOH) horrible math, would help the common citizen understand how to support this important medicine.
As a registered patient I cannot understand the "limits," as the FBI studies show that usable medicine relates to square footage of canopy and NOT number of plants (.38 ounces per square foot). Also the limit on possession of 6 ounces for a three-month period is ridiculous. Three 1- gram joints per day equates to 3 pounds per year or 4 ounces per month.
I've seen the LA Weekly's ads with over three pages of clinics and doctors to help patients, and sure there's money being made but how would the cannabis income compare to Pharma's income on Ibuprofen alone?

Food With Doors
In a single paragraph, Mr. Fischer disses the vaunted Chicago hot dog and Frontera Grill, arguably one of the best (if not the best) Mexican restaurants in the country.
Mr. Fischer was probably disappointed that he couldn't find a chalupa at Frontera and, instead of ordering a dawg at a place with a door, he chose to order one from a street vendor. Duh? Had he taken the time he would have found a hot dog place with condiments unique to the Windy City (doesn't he know that's why Chicago Dog Express is successful?) or one that deep fries its potatoes in duck fat. Mr. Fischer's "elevated" experience with cucumbers in a taco is also mystifying.
The Santa Fe Reporter should keep Mr. Fischer away from the food column—he wouldn't know a good Chicago dog if it bit him on the nalgas.

Free IS GREAT
I recently read an article titled "Free Is Too Much" that frankly I found "too much."
I suppose part of this has to do with the fact that I have been a huge fan of the Gordon Free Band since their inception and actually think this band has a chance to break nationally. As a fellow musician and performing artist, I was taken aback by the caustic tone and what felt like a personal attack of Free and his music—music which frankly has garnered quite a following since the release of their CD Super Conscious.
Of course, the term "good" as it applies to music, or any art, is completely subjective but, as a fan, I think the music critic and SFR should have listed the Gordon Free Band's website and given people a chance to form there own opinions: gordonfreeband.com. Although I was not at that particular Cowgirl show, I saw their performances at the Pumpkin Festival and Zozobra, and consider GFB one of the best groups in New Mexico. The comparisons made by Alex are so far off that I'm not convinced he listened to their CD.
Influences would be U2, Pink Floyd and Jack Johnson, not the bands mentioned in the article. I recommend listening to: "Why," "Telephone" and "California" on the GFB's MySpace page.

Once again, Esperanza Shelter for Battered Families would like to extend our sincerest thanks to SFR for selecting us as the beneficiary of your fantastic Halloween party at Milagro 139 on Oct. 31. Kudos to Anna Maggiore and her staff for dedicating one of the most well-attended parties of the year to ending relationship abuse in our community.
The lively fete is but one of many ways that SFR continues to support Esperanza's mission. We also appreciate your keen coverage of domestic violence in Santa Fe over the past several months, as well as your holiday donations drive on behalf of families who will spend the season in the shelter.
As this season of giving begins, may the Santa Fe community remember that 1 in every 3 women, and 1 in every 7 men, in our midst experiences relationship abuse. Not everyone can go home for the holidays. Not everyone wants to. Others long for home more than anything else but know that going back could cost them their lives. For those who are making the shelter their home this season, consider donating gift cards to Esperanza Shelter for gas, groceries, movies or retail stores such as Target or Walmart. These cards are used to supply clients with both goodies during the holidays and essentials all year round.
Donations can be delivered to Esperanza's administrative offices, 2845 Agua Fria St., directly across from Piccolino Italian Restaurant (near the intersection with Siler Road), from 8 am-5 pm weekdays (except holidays). For more information, call 505-474-5536.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
I am taking the workshop alone in Haynesville LA. Have gotten some great
ideas. I also would be hesitant to let students eat anything prepared in
lab. Our Foods and Nutrition teacher and I work closely together. We plan
to do the cooking (chocolate chip cookies) lab together in the foods kitchen
(home economics department).
I have had students do a popcorn lab to calculate the percentage of moisture
in popcorn. We used prepackaged bags of microwave popcorn. Students
measure the mass of the bag, pop in a microwave according to direction on
the bag, and measure mass again after letting the moisture excape. We do
this in the classroom using a microwave that I bring from home.

Hey everyone,
I have a huge tiny problem... For some reason on PC's my registration button up top falls to the next line and I can't figure it out... I've screwed around with margins, padding, seems like everything i swear.
This is the site:Toronto Dance Studio - About Us
And since I'm here.. does anything know how I can make the blue background of the left side be blue all the way to the footer??
I tried to give them a container the way around, just around everything but the footer, a bunch of different things but nothing worked. the only thing that sort of worked in having it on the main background image, but then it goes wonky if pages are short.
But really ... I care about the 'registration' button first and foremost.
Please help!
Thanks so much in advance.n
Could you be more specific. It's fine in IE8, and I presume 9.
does anything know how I can make the blue background of the left side be blue all the way to the footer??
The easiest way is to wrap pks-left-side and pks-content in a container div (set to overflow: hidden) and use "faux columns".
I'm on Linux, and it's bad.
It's likely that your non-PC machines have a tiny font setting and your PC machines have a larger setting. Larger fonts, larger boxes holding the text, stuff starts dropping to the next line.
While one of your options might be to make the text smaller, that's not great since some of us NEED that text to be bigger just to read it.
So I'd see if you maybe want to have the logo image and the navigation in two separate boxes... and if the menu is small enough to fit (which is true on screens with smaller font setting) it lines up the way you want now... and if it doesn't, the whole menu drops down a new line (so, under the logo) and remains a single row.
Though even doing this, eventually SOMEone will have fonts so large it'll wrap anyway, because your page has a fixed width. Other than making your whole page flexible (which prolly would mean a css recode), you'll have to live with that. But I like the idea of the whole menu dropping down.
To do that in non-ie you could float the menu and not give it a width, but IE likes widths on floats... so another option would be no width on a non-floated ul and the li's set to display: inline-block and then the hack for IE6 and 7 (or, you could set the li's to display: inline and move all the margin and padding styles over to the anchors, and set THEM to display: inline-block... there, you won't need to hack for IE at all) and this might do it.
Hm actually they might still wrap... maybe with white-space: nowrap. Gotta be careful with using that though.
Hm... actually, to get this behaviour cross-browser might be tricky...maybe keep them all in a single container, float the logo left (with a width) and float the menu left without a width (and inside the display: inline-block instead of float on the anchors) and see if inline-block content will stretch the width of a float. Plain old inline content can, in some browsers, but in others the float will shrink-wrap as soon as it can. So then maybe a min-width (in px) for the ul equal to the remaining area you have (width of container minus width of the logo) and if the ul can grow it should drop down.And then tell IE6 and maybe 7 just width="the full page width" and have them always just show the menu underneath the logo.
Thanks so much for both of your responses. I actually use browser shots. I know, its not a great solution, and what I saw there is what Stomme poes is saying.
I will try to solve the problem
Thanks again!!
I can see the last word dropping in FF on the mac (but fine on the pc). The bold text is always much wider on the mac and you will need to reduce the 8px side padding you have on the lists and the anchors to about 5px before it will fit.
#main_nav li,#main_nav li a {
[B] padding: 0 5px;[/B]
The bold text is always much wider on the mac and you will need to reduce the 8px side padding you have on the lists and the anchors to about 5px before it will fit.
My default Desktop text size of equiv 18+px would still die horribly with that (I can't click "Registration" and it only appears in my screenshot because I'm hovering over another list item). But that might be enough to fix slight differences between machines with default font sizes.
Yes that was just a rough guess (although it fixed the display at normal size on my mac). Of course the extra width does depend on font choice also as some fonts are wider than others.
It doesn't however cater for any text resize so perhaps a re-think would be in order to allow the text to wrap nicely on the few machines where it doesn't fit or when text is resized.
It's quite surprising how much difference there can be between text widths on the various platforms so you just have to cater for scenarios where the text may wrap.
In my Desktop I have a large font set for "Applications". Firefox goes along with this; Opera and Chrome do not. You never know when a browser is going to inherit Desktop or OS settings and when it won't.
I didn't check the OP's site in my Opera on Linux but the menu probably lines up in that.
All this demonstrates that it's best to design elements like menus so that they will still look OK despite all these varying conditions. (It makes me feel kind of dirty these days when I have to implement designs that aren't this flexible. O well … :sick: )

An open flowing floor plan, excellent for entertaining in a quality location steps to Lake Pontchartrain with easy access to all necessary destinations.
These were the reasons the present owners bought their gorgeous home at 989 Crystal St. in East Lakeshore. "But, now the children are raised and we're downsizing," the owner explained.
Which leaves open a fabulous opportunity for another person to enjoy said open floor plan near the lake.
"It's important to know that this house has never flooded," said Frank Barrett, the listing agent with RE/MAX Real Estate Partners, "even though it's just steps from the lake."
The home has definite curb appeal with flag stones leading up to an impressive entrance way flanked by plenty of lush, professional landscaping.
The foyer leads visitors to the beautiful open floor plan that so enchanted its present owners. To the right is a snug living room inviting guests to relax and have a drink. Straight ahead is the first den, complete with a wet bar, which spills into the den and its wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter.
…Which spills out onto the patio with its "this is what I love about this house" feature – a lap pool with three lush, gushing waterfalls and a hot tub – and more of that lush, professional landscaping.
The kitchen is included in this open floor plan and is an absolute dream for those of us who like to cook – or for those of us who think cooking is heating up prepared food in a microwave. It's equipped with a built-in sub-zero refrigerator/freezer, a stacked double oven, a cooktop with a draft instead of an overhead fan and a double stainless steel sink that deep, deep, deep. Easy clean ceramic tile is underneath and sophisticated black granite is used on all the counter tops.
The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, making for some easy, easy cooking and serving during dinner parties or when the whole family gathers for a holiday meal.
There are two first-floor bedrooms, each with a complete bath. In addition, the master suite has a separate shower and whirlpool tub – plus, it's all done up in marble – marble floors, marble counter tops, marble shower enclosure. The master suite also has a separate dressing room with double closets. This might also be used as a nursery or another bedroom – it's close but not in the master suite. The other first-floor bathroom has that most desirable feature – a double sink, making for easy dressing when two are trying to get out of the house at the same time.
There are two more generous-sized (13 x 13 feet) bedrooms upstairs. "If you don't need this many bedrooms, one could be used as an office or a study," pointed out Barrett.
And as if that's not enough, this house has a surprise!
Just off the patio sits a separate dwelling containing a large high end cabana with a complete kitchen, living area and a loft for sleeping. It's sort of like a modern day garconniere – the quarters that the old French families used to separate their young boys so the rest of the family wouldn't be disturbed by their young-boy activities. On the other hand, it could just be used for changing into bathing suits or serving drinks by the pool. It has its own separate air and heating units.
Some features of this house remain unseen. "There is a newer roof," said Barrett, "and two of the three air conditioning units are new. Plus the house has a sprinkler system (to keep all that professional landscaping looking so pretty and fresh), landscape lighting and it's wired for cable and sound."
And then, of course, is the fact that this house sits in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city. An open flowing floor plan in a fabulous location close to Lake Pontchartrain – this house really has it all.

oh hey girl..noise..nonsense..blah blah blah..noise..hot air..omg..nonsense..etc!
best place ive gone to is S turns in the outer banks. too bad im in jersey and its like 10 hours away. thats the closest to consistency you are gonna get on the east coast i bet. plus its warm, always a plus
It is nice when one of the,.. few Ladies paddles out locally. Not to many, hardly any,.. around the DelMarVa, sorry to say.
I might argue the point about conditions on the mid-atlantic. But I think that has more to do with those who surf,.. ALL YEAR ROUND, and those that DO NOT.
Since the end of AUG, the DelMarVa has seen a very consistent run of surf.
I too have grown weary of some of the issue that plague our quest for surfing action on this coastline. But I remain grateful for what is given.
gurls r so cool in da water. unfortunately, i c maybe only 1 gurl out wen its not summer tyme. most of my bros get all rowdy when gurls surf, u no, bc they are so sexy. i like 2 'respect' woman tho. i dont get 'boners' like them in the water. i say surf, bros, thats y we r here, not 2 gawk at play things.
but i totally agree with u 2 about how east coast is so 'inconsistent' and no one 'notices'. ive been telling my bros this for years n they just dont care. i stay true 2 myself tho and go on trips down the coast 2. the best surf i find is usually in the gulf. its ez2 learn there. so warm too.
as far as a good wetsuit, definitely get a hyperflex. they are true 'surfer' authentic. they keep u so warm in the summer and so much more 'warmer' in the winter. i never see ne1 wearing them, so thats how i no ive found my personal 'brand' 2 perpetuate. i like to be different when i ride my quad fin fish and look for different things to make my personal brand. all my bros agree 2.
krae, im glad u r still a female, that wuld b so weird if u werent n e more!! lolz
but ne ways, u r totally a great photographer. if u came bak 2 oc 4 sum reason i'd totally want u 2 take pics of me n my bros throwing wild tail over over some consistent 'ankle-breakers' or 'over head-high hurricane swell'.
i lyke wen we wuld take pics in pyramids with bros on top and below me. felt really 'authentic' with bros all over each other, like before we were bros n we wrestled in elementary school/clean fun/not weird. u bring bak that spirit in us. also, i lyked taking pics with friends who were gurls with arms around each other n we smiled n paid 4 pics. felt really 'cool' to perpetuate a personal 'brand' with my picture n girl next to me picture.
newayz, b easy, b cool, if u hav n e mor questions, we r really helpful here on the forums.
Go to OBX it is the most consistent wave on the East coast for sure. Many days you can ride waist to chest high waves with good form.
yeah i get mad here in nj one day perfect sets next day its closing out
thats why im taking a trip with some buds down the west coast for waves and our friend moved out there he says (san deigo) he never checks the waves just anytime he wants to go out he does cause there always something

Abu Said Al-Hudri narrates from the Prophet of Islam (saas), "Terrible oppression, the like of which has never been seen before will be wreaked by the judges in the End Times; it will be so intense that the Earth will be too confining for them and the world will overflow with injustice and cruelty, THE DEVOUT WILL HAVE NO REFUGE. It is at just that time that Almighty Allah will bring forth one from my line, and he will fill the world with justice and equality where formerly it had been filled with injustice and oppression.

Learning Goals for the Major
Overall Learning Goals
- Awareness of the intersections of gender with other forms of difference and power - such as sexuality, race, class, and nation - in local and transnational contexts. Learn about different forms of activism evident around the world. This will culminate in senior work which will be informed by feminist theory and methods, and combined with a discipline (or core field). The range of chosen fields may draw from social science, humanities, or a variety of forms of artistic expression.
Reaching these Learning Goals
Critical Thinking Goals
- Critical analysis: identify and evaluate arguments, rhetorical styles, synthesize ideas, and develop well-substantiated, coherent, and concise arguments.
- Logical reasoning: identify and follow a logical sequence or argument through to its end; recognize faulty reasoning or premature closure
- Abstract thinking: generalize for a specific purpose and/or in a way that clarifies and heightens understanding of major issues at stake: identify the essential or most relevant elements of a concept, event, object, text, etc.
- Argumentation: marshal appropriate and relevant evidence in order to develop a clear claim or stance using specific rhetorical approaches.
Doing Research
Note: These are field specific and the specific combination of research methods learned and mastered will depend on the student's chosen field specialization.
- Problem solving: identify important historical and contemporary issues relating to gender and women's studies, evaluate various responses to them, and adapt the knowledge.
- Research skills: produced or locate resources and learn to build a research agenda. Read broadly in order to develop well-focused projects, using primary and secondary sources. Delineate key points in scholarly articles and respond to them. Use different modes of research, including empirical methods, scholarly literature, and theoretical and artistic engagement. Develop advanced library skills tailored to specific research projects, including facility with electronic databases, bibliographic reference materials, archival documents, and image and sound repositories.
- Interdisciplinary approaches: draw from multiple fields of study or define new fields; grasp means and significance of expanding, crossing, transgressing or bridging disciplinary boundaries.
Knowledge About the Field
- Intersectionality: analyze gender as it intersections with other relations of power, such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, nationality, religion, geography and age; distinguish universalist understandings of gender, women and sexuality from multi-dimensional analyses that recognize interconnectivity and mutual constitution of categories.
- Gender issues: recognize the social, political, economic, national, and cultural dimensions of gender as these relate to disparities in power and privilege. Become familiar with a range of past and present major issues pertaining to gender, such as race and citizenship, reproductive and sexual politics, media representation, understandings of masculinities and femininities, racialization of gender and sexuality, women's enfranchisement, gender and violence, identity politics, immigration, sex discrimination, changing families, gender and environment, labor, language, health disparities, gender and science, histories of colonialism, nation-state formations.
- Feminisms, feminist theories and feminist research: describe and distinguish a broad range of feminist theories and practices in their specific cultural and historical contexts both nationally and internationally; identify the contributions and limits of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary feminist research and scholarship.
- Historicization and contextualization: articulate differences in sociopolitical contexts that inform opinions, theories, identities, subcultures and politics pertaining to gender and sexuality. Discuss issues of gender and sexuality in the context of their specific histories, knowledge frames, and politics. Work flexibly with a variety of epistemological approaches, recognizing each as culturally specific and inherently limited.
Ways of Communicating

A's walk all over Twins, drawing 11 base-on-balls
Offensive outburst gives plenty of support to Samardzija's solid effort
OAKLAND -- Even after watching nine of their first 18 batters draw walks against a frail Twins pitching staff on Saturday evening, the A's refused to back down.
Their offense is alive again, following a sluggish week at the plate, so forgive them for being greedy.
The A's tacked on another two walks by night's end, tying their season high of 11, but also complemented this patience with plenty of power, getting a pair of middle-inning homers from Stephen Vogt and Derek Norris in a 9-4 rout of the Twins.
"We've been getting progressively better here offensively the last few days," said manager Bob Melvin. "The homers help. Been a little shy with those recently. It cures a lot of ills when you score two or three runs on one swing of the bat."
"We've also faced some really good pitchers over this stretch, too," said Norris. "I think the biggest thing is grinding through at-bats and putting together good at-bats, and sooner or later it's going to turn around, especially with a talented ballclub like we have."
The A's indeed look like themselves again, albeit against a 51-64 Twins club that called on right-hander Trevor May to tackle them in his big league debut Saturday.
It was spoiled rather quickly.
The A's didn't play nice, forcing seven free passes from the rookie in just two innings, en route to their 12th straight victory against the Twins -- a streak that could reach 13 in Sunday's four-game series finale. They'll enter it with at least a four-game lead over the Angels in the American League West.
May was ultimately charged with four runs in a wild outing that featured a 28:35 strike-to-ball ratio. The 24-year-old was replaced in the third by righty Samuel Deduno, who proceeded to walk his first batter, Jed Lowrie, and his third, Eric Sogard, who drew four walks on just 20 pitches in his first four plate appearances of the night.
Along the way, Vogt slammed a two-run homer to right field in the fifth, with Norris crushing a three-run shot to left an inning later, giving Jeff Samardzija plenty run support in his third A's victory.
"It was outstanding," said Samardzija. "It allows you to calm down a little bit. I was fighting myself a few times. I felt like I was in the stretch the whole game. Just one of those days I was able to make a couple pitches when I really needed to, made it a little harder on myself at other times, but when you get those runs, it kind of brings you back to center, and you want to attack and make some quick outs and get your offense back in the dugout and let them keep doing what they were doing.
"Eleven walks in a game is pretty impressive. I don't think I've ever seen that. It's a testament to this lineup and how we play."
Samardzija gave the A's 109 pitches in six innings of work, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Not only did he do it in front of a Coliseum crowd exceeding 32,000 but also his newest fan, a possum that made his TV debut during Samardzija's last start.
"He likes me," said Samardzija. "I need to go find this guy. He's pretty sweet, man. He knows what he's doing. He shows up at the right times, too. Like down times in the game. He must have a little ego on him, which I don't mind.
"I don't know if it's good a possum likes you, but keep winning ballgames, he can show up as much as he wants."
Dan Otero gave up a pair of runs in the eighth, putting a halt to the A's bullpen's scoreless streak at 29 2/3 innings -- the fourth longest streak by A's relievers since at least 1914.
For Norris, it was his career-high 10th homer of the season, seven of which have come with at least two men on base.
"Quite a coincidence, isn't it?" said a grinning Norris. "I like to think that, when runners get on base, that's the time where you make your money. Home runs are great, I'll take them at any point, but especially when they come with runners on. It starts to add up in the RBI column.
"My power may not be able to compete with [Josh] Donaldson, [Brandon] Moss and guys like that, but I like to think that when I do it, it's meaningful."

Kovacevic: Here's Hope-ing women's sports evolve
LONDON — Hope Solo and the U.S. women's soccer team were wonderful the other night, front to finish, in besting Japan for Olympic gold at Wembley. It was a fitting climax to a fantastic Games not just for that group of women but also for women worldwide.
Now you know what's the best thing anyone could say to Ms. Solo?
"Hey, Hope! You're a hopeless sieve!"
No, really. And stick it to Abby Wambach, too.
"Wambach! You'd miss the ocean if you were at the beach!"
Even if it's wholly irrational and loathsome, this is what they need to hear. It's what all female athletes need to hear for their various sports to take the next step.
Remember the fuss Solo kicked up at the start of these Olympics?
Happened July 28, when the U.S. blanked Colombia, 3-0, in Glasgow, Scotland. On the NBC broadcast, Brandi Chastain, the former player now commentating, was discussing a defender's responsibilities: "Defend. Win the ball. And then keep possession. And that's something that Rachel Buehler actually needs to, I think, improve on in this tournament."
Pretty, um, venomous stuff.
Presumably fearing that Buehler would need meds and treatment to recover, Solo threw a Twitter tantrum the next day: "It's 2 bad we can't have commentators who better represent and know the team and know more about the game. … I feel bad 4 our fans that have to push mute."
This, too: "Brandi should be helping 2 grow the sport."
Let's set aside, for a moment, that Chastain — the player — did more to grow women's soccer with one kick and a strip of her shirt than Solo will do if she never allows another goal.
The issue here is that criticism of women's soccer, even something so benign as, gee, Rachel needs to step it up, is genuinely seen as an affront to the team, to its fans, to the sport.
As proof, consider that the best Chastain could offer in response was this weak one-sentence statement: "I am in London to cover women's soccer for NBC in an honest and objective fashion, and that is what I have done and will continue to do."
She should have tried this: "I'll do my job. You do yours."
Say what you will of this mind-set — and I can see where views would diverge — but know this: It's got nothing to do with sports fandom.
At least not the kind that, you know, draws paying customers and profitable TV audiences.
These really have been a breakthrough Olympics for women, especially American women. They arrived here with a larger contingent than the men for the first time, and they'll carry by far the greater haul when they leave: 29 gold medals to the men's 15 and 58 overall medals to the men's 43.
That's amazing, worth applauding on a lot of levels.
But let's be honest: A breakthrough Olympics for women doesn't mean much more than we'll all watch a little more closely four years from now.
Other parts of the world pay to watch women play basketball, volleyball and tennis, but not in the U.S. We pay to watch Danica Patrick and cheerleaders. Most of that's plain old chauvinism that will take generations to wipe out, but at least some of it is because there isn't that emotional attachment that people build up with a franchise over time.
And, yeah, dishing out and taking criticism comes with that pact.
I'm picking on Solo, but examples can be found across women's sports. Jamie Dixon and Agnus Berenato coach Division I basketball at Pitt, but you'll never hear of Dixon admonishing reporters for an article not being "positive" enough. It's standard fare on the women's side.
Can't have it both ways, where you want publicity but won't take criticism. Equal means equal.
All these years the Pirates were terrible, I never doubted they'd be a smash if they were ever just decent simply because they continued to make people in Pittsburgh furious. That was infinitely better than people not caring.
Tom McMillan, the Penguins' vice president of communications who has his finger on our city's sporting pulse better than anyone, once told me when I was covering their worst-in-the-NHL team a decade ago: "Rip us all you want. Just spell the name right."
That's sports fandom.
We're not a nation of fans who sing songs or whistle or applaud our boys coming off the pitch after a tough loss. We boo. We bash people on the Web. We call talk shows and demand change.
It's who we are.
Not everyone likes it, but no one's going to change it.
Back to Solo.
After the triumph, she continued to try to drum up interest for her sport by bemoaning the recent cancellation of the Women's Professional Soccer League. In referencing the 80,203 who witnessed U.S.-Japan, she said: "We filled Wembley Stadium, and you're telling me there is no league to play in? Seems a bit dated."
No more dated than the concept that women athletes can't be criticized.

Two UPS initiatives -- package flow technology and telematics -- offer examples of how the shipping company puts data to work. Package flow technology (PFT) is UPS's custom software that lets it deliver 16 million shipments per day by predicting package deliveries. Nearly all those packages now have data electronically transmitted to the company prior to UPS touching them. UPS uses this information to route products most efficiently to their destinations. UPS estimates its route-optimizing software saved it from driving 85 million miles in 2011, conserving 8.4 million gallons of fuel. In addition to supporting the PFT system, the package-level data helps UPS more accurately tell customers when a package will be delivered.
The second example, telematics, is the integration of telecommunications and informatics. UPS created a proprietary system of telematics that collects information on how a vehicle has been driven. The data lets UPS use delivery vehicles as "rolling laboratories" to test ideas for improving things such as fuel efficiency. UPS captures data on vehicle-related elements including speed, RPM, oil pressure and seat belt use. In 2012, UPS saved 206 million minutes of idling time from delivery drivers in more than 80,000 telematics-equipped vehicles.

Stan Lee's 'Masters Of The Universe' Action Figure Gets It All Wrong [Opinion]
While top talent -- as in, Moebius, Bruce Timm, Stan Sakai, just to name a few -- have elevated Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy, cartoon and movie franchise to something special, so far the closest thing a comic book creator had come to getting their own MOTU figure was sometime He-Man scribe Geoff Johns' childhood creation Sir Laser Lot being produced. But, thanks to the magic of... being Stan Lee? Stan Lee, who has co-created scores of iconic Marvel super heroes in addition to curiosities like Stripperella -- but has never had anything to do with MOTU -- has received a new alter ego in the realm of Eternia by the name of Standor.

I beleive they are using pre-compiled, pre-salted wordlists that have the salts of the most popular essid's already "pre-compiled" with the normal words thus speeding up the cracking.
I beleive these pre-salted wordlists were available on churchofwifi.org, however that site has been down whenver I try.
I think it is about 7GB...
When I was researchig this myself, I noticed some people offering to burn DVDs (presume dual layer), if not, then I guess the wordlists have been split up (which is still handy).
anyway, I would be willing to pay to cover "labour" & postage for such a worldlist DVD.
I would prefer to download but i'd rather shoot myself in the face than download anything > 50MB on public torrent.
Please correct me if am mistaken in my information

"In" WordsLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
The answers to the following questions are all single words that start with the prefix "in". The words only answer the questions, however, when a space is added after "in". For example, the answer to the question "where is the horse?" would be "install" (in stall). Obviously it's not proper grammar, but you get the point. Can you figure out the "in" words that answer the following questions?
1. Where is my sleeping bag?
2. Where is my wife's stomach?
3. Where does the air go after the fan sucks it up?
4. It looks like someone ate the gavel. Where is it?
5. Where is the moonshine?
6. I put some food down in the seabird cage. Where did it go?
7. Where is the church bell?
Answer1. Intent
2. Inmate
3. Invent
4. Injustice
5. Instill
6. Intern
7. Inspire

Do you know what a data broker is? A recent survey found 80 percent of people have no idea. But data brokers actually know a lot about you. They collect, calculate and sell highly personal information about millions of people. And now, they're the ones being watched.
After financial planner Rod Laurenz opened a new office, he used a credit card to buy baby wipes to clean the place. He says after picking up just one canister, he was shocked to be bombarded with targeted online ads for other baby wipes and more children's products. Something this single guy says he's definitely not interested in at the moment.
"It does lead to some concerns. How much do they know? And how much can then be determined about a person," Laurenz asked.
The Federal Trade Commission also wants to know those answers. The agency has launched an investigation into the Data Brokerage industry, demanding detailed data from nine major companies currently collecting consumer information both online and off.
"We really wanted to look under the hood of these companies and see exactly who they're buying this information from, how much information they have, what they use it for, and who they share it with," said Maneesha Mithal, the Associate Director of the FTC's Division of Privacy and Identity Protection.
The FTC already knows that data includes what you buy, where you shop and where you drive. It might also include your health problems, who your social network friends are, if you pay your bills on time or if you spent time in jail. The FTC has three big concerns.
"First is that data brokers are selling information that companies could use to deny people employment or credit or insurance," said Mithal.
Second, according to the agency, is that people consider it "creepy" to be followed online. And finally, they're worried about identity theft. Why? Because a government report reveals hackers have also accessed information companies collected about you.
But, the Direct Marketing Association, or DMA, stresses most data brokers work hard to keep your private info secure, and thinks the largely self-regulated industry should stay that way.
"If you do something incorrectly its known, it's out there in the blogs, your reputation is, is harmed and companies will make immediate changes," said Jerry Cerasale, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs for the Direct Marketing Association.
Both the FTC and DMA do agree the multi-billion dollar Data Brokerage business is critical. Targeted marketing drives consumer spending, which is a driving force in the economy.
"It's going to get us out of this recession. It's going to get us out of it faster and its going to keep America in the lead," said Cerasale.
Rod Laurenz actually likes targeted ads, when they target him correctly. He was happy when marketers figured out he wasn't interested in baby products, and the ads have changed to vacation destinations and luxury cars.
"Certainly there's a benefit if you're going to see ads, have those ads be pertinent things you actually may be interested in or want to buy or learn about," he said.
After the FTC analyzes the information it gets, the agency will make recommendations about industry practices, and possibly ask congress to regulate it more.
The FTC will also look at ways consumers could have even more privacy and opportunities to "opt out" of being tracked and correct inaccurate information collected about them.

Hi, Can i ask when to put FK (foreign key) in the table ?
either in the CREATE TABLE statement, or afterwards, in an ALTER TABLE statement
Hi r937 thank you for the reply...I have some question regarding in the phpmyadmin i created a table with
id auto_incrementemployee_code varchar(5)
as far as i know that, a field which is auto_increment is a primary key, and in my php code i trapped the employee_code that will not insert duplicate.is that okay to trapped employee_code even though i have an auto increment field ?
Thank you in advance.
you have asked a couple of simple questions which have very lengthy and complex answers
first of all, creating an auto_increment PK is not wrong, but not always the best solution -- sometimes, some other column which you know will be unique could be a better choice (if you want to research this, search natural key)
second, if you do use an auto_increment, and you have a column like employee_code which is supposed to be unique, it is better to let the database control the uniqueness, instead of using application logic to "trap the employee_code that will not insert duplicate"
so you should declare a UNIQUE index on employee_code, and then do not do the SELECT before you do your INSERT, rather, just do the INSERT without checking yourself, and reject the submission only if you get an error code after the INSERT
Hi r937, Thank you for the reply...okay i will try the unique index. is that differ from index ?
Hi r937,
Thank you it's working i add the unique index in employee_code.and i do an insert statement like what you told me,by the way how can i reset the auto_increment failed.
don't... just let it continue its merry way
if you expect more than 4 billion rows, let me know
Thank you so much r937 for helping me...
is that the limit 4billion rows?
no, the limit is 9 quadrillion
Thank you r397 now i know the limit of auto increment...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/3/2013 (1611 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Maybe it's unfair to load all the Winnipeg Jets' playoff hopes on the shoulders of Andrew Ladd.
It's also unfair some people lose their hair, but that doesn't make it any less true.
Bald people are bald and Andrew Ladd is the key to all things Winnipeg Jets right now.
Ladd will lead the Jets to the post-season or he won't. He can't be ordinary; he must be brilliant, which has certainly been proven possible.
With 14 goals and 32 points in 33 games, Ladd is having an all-star-calibre campaign. The argument was made last season that he was a second- or third-line player getting first-line minutes on a bad team. No more. He is legit, and by virtue of getting the Jets into third place in the Eastern Conference, he's making a case for the same to be said of his team.
There are other contributors, and lots of this can also be said about goalie Ondrej Pavelec. But Ladd is a catalyst at both ends of the ice and in the dressing room. Put it this way: If Ladd were to succumb to a season-ending injury, what would happen to the Jets? They'd quietly go away and plan for another season.
Ladd is Winnipeg's leading scorer, captain and best player. Head coach Claude Noel says Ladd "drives the team."
It's a pretty simple formula: When Ladd plays well, the Jets win, or at the very least have a chance to do so. When he doesn't, Winnipeg is lost and they lose.
Without Andrew Ladd playing, and playing at a high level, the Jets are out of the picture.
Winnipeg can be maddeningly inconsistent at times. Not Ladd. He's the only player on the team not to go more than one game in a row without a point. In Sunday night's 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, he was on the ice for all three of Winnipeg's goals, parked on the edge of the blue ice distracting goalie Cedrick Desjardins for the first two, then flipping an artful pass from the corner to Toby Enstrom for the eventual winner.
Ladd had some growl to his game and was also tenacious on defence, breaking up a number of scoring chances deep in the Jets zone.
Winnipeg needed to win on Sunday. Desperately. Ladd, who had been as sluggish as the rest of his team in a pair of back-to-back losses to the Washington Capitals this week, needed to be strong. He was and -- no surprise -- the Jets won.

Government Fast Tracks Another Immigration Mess
Rt Hon Winston Peters
New Zealand First Leader
14 November 2012
Government Fast Tracks Another Immigration Mess
New Zealand First says it has caught the Government "red handed" with a dodgy new system of fast tracking visas for members of a major Chinese airline's frequent flier's club – despite being warned that international criminals belong to these clubs.
Rt Hon Winston Peters raised the issue in Parliament, producing confidential Immigration New Zealand papers that show both the Minister and officials had met China Southern Airlines to discuss the proposal.
"This new plan simply means that visas are rubber stamped for Gold and Silver cardholders of China Southern Airline's frequent flyer club. All the visa requirements are waived.
"It is interesting to note in the proposal that the most important feature for the airline's clients is to avoid questions relating to financial backing and employment history."
Mr Peters also produced an internal memo from the Intelligence, Risk and Integrity Division warning that China represents a "huge set of risks" and suggesting that officials had not learned anything from a recent scandal over student visas.
"This memo also shows that China Southern Airlines compliance over flight passenger lists for checking has been patchy and but for political tolerance the company would have received significant fines.
"This is clearly an abuse of both New Zealand border controls and the visitor visa system and it is being driven directly from the Minister's office.
"It is disgraceful for the Minister to confirm in Parliament today that he's prepared to weaken our border security to simply attract a few more tourists.
"Immigration New Zealand is simply carrying out the will of a Government that allows just about anyone and anything into New Zealand. This alarming situation cannot continue," says Mr Peters.

Just wanted you to know that I was pleasantly surprised with my "Go-Parts" experience. I rarely buy online, and now that I'm older, I rarely work on my car. Recently, though, I could hear the bearing going out on the radiator cooling fan on my 2006 PT Cruiser. I finally decided to fix it myself. I'm glad I did. After buying a repair manual, I could see the repair would be a bit challenging. The auto parts store at the corner was asking over $200 for the part, and I'm sure the dealer would be asking well over $350. Add in labor and all the other extras they would want to charge me for (drain and flush radiator, etc.) and I anticipated the dealer charging over $600. I needed the part soon--it was getting pretty noisy and decided to quit driving the car on Wednesday. I ordered the part on Thursday afternoon. FedEx delivered it on Saturday morning. Perfect! With delivery, the fan cost me just over $100 from Go-Parts. By Saturday evening, I was back on the road. The experience could not have been any better. Unfortunately, I didn't find the flyer about making a video until after I was done! Probably just as well--I had a lot to learn. (o: I'm glad you're interested in customer satisfaction. It is the key to a successful business. Best regards, Wes Keyson Orangevale, CA

• argute •
Pronunciation: ahr-gyut • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Sharp in taste or sound (shrill). 2. Mentally sharp, witty, bright.
Notes: Today's Good Word is good because it won't go away. It has rarely been used for 200 years but still pops up from time to time, usually in the sense of "witty". You may use it adverbially with the usual suffix, argutely, or convert it into a noun in the usual fashion: arguteness.
In Play: Referring to taste and sound, today's word implies an unpleasant sharpness: "The symphony played beautifully last night though I thought the trumpets were a bit argute." However, it refers to a very pleasant sharpness of mind: "After the concert, we enjoyed an argute conversation over coffee in the cafe next to the symphony hall."
Word History: This word devolved through French and Italian from Latin argutus "clear, sharp, keen", the past participle of arguere "to make clear". The meaning of the Latin verb has obviously changed radically over time. It comes from the Proto-Indo-European root arg- "bright, shining". That is it in Latin argentum "silver", whence English argentine "silvery, having silver" (via French). The brightness of the original word led to clarity in seeing things discussed (Latin arguere). The discussion, of course, had to be pointed (argue in the sense of "debate") and this led to the sense of quarreling that English argue has today. (Today's Good Word came from the argute mind of 'Grogie' of the Alpha Agora, which invites you to come and enjoy all of Grogie's discussions of words.)

AUTHOR Jeanette Winterson caused a stir online when she uploaded a picture of a skinned rabbit she had caught and killed — because it was eating her parsley.
The Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit writer, who went to Accrington and Rossendale College, also used Twitter to tell her 32,700 followers it would make a 'great glove puppet'.
The 54-year-old writer and journalist posted a picture of the disembowelled rabbit carcass, lying on a kitchen counter, alongside the words: "Rabbit ate my parsley. I am eating the rabbit."
And although she later tweeted to say she trapped and killed the rabbit humanely, and deleted a tweet saying the carcass would make a glove puppet, Jeanette still faced criticism from other users of the micro-blogging site.
Jacqueline Looker said: "Before I unfollow you, you make me sick. I will never again read a word you write. Rest in peace, little rabbit."
Jeanette replied: "Do you only read vegetarians? If not, why is farmed meat fine but personally trapped disgusting? Think about it."
Jeanette also uploaded pictures of her cooking rabbit meat 'in cider with rosemary and thyme', and a picture of her cat eating the rabbit's innards.
She tweeted: "No waste, no packaging, no processing, no food miles."
User HollyHox said in a message to the author: "Thing is that most people don't feel a need to post such a graphic image and joke about it. That's the difference."
And Arthur Japin said: "How your cat and you have disappointed me. At least the cat has an excuse."
However, some users defended the series of tweets with some even asking for tips.
Hazel James wrote: "Isn't that the balance of nature? At least it's fresh, not like the frozen tasteless ones butchers sell."
Annie-Marie Speed said: "Delicious and very eco friendly." And Keith Morton wrote: "Which wine did you have with it? Looks lovely."
Jeanette could not be reached for comment yesterday.

DETROIT - Thanksgiving is typically thought of as an unhealthy holiday.
But, nutritionists say several foods that are a traditional part of the feast are actually quite good for us and should be a part of our diet all year-round.
Cranberries are often considered as only a garnish but they're also garnering respect from researchers.
The bright berries contain benzoic acid, which has been shown to block the growth of lung cancer, colon cancer, and some forms of leukemia.
When eaten regularly, cranberries also reduce the risk of gum disease and ulcers.
Experts say you can buy several bags now and store them in your freezer to use later.
Finally, pumpkins aren't just for pie.
Pumpkins, squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes are all packed with a cancer fighting nutrient that reduces the risk of colon, prostate, breast, and lung cancers.
Nutritionists recommend eating them often as side dishes or, work them into the main course in soups, smoothies, or in ravioli form.
Pecan pie is also a popular holiday staple in some households.
The pie may be a diet disaster but, nutritionists say the nuts alone can help boost muscle strength and are full of the same healthy fats found in olive oil.

Research Opportunities for Students
Starting Freshman Year
At Saint Louis University, learning at the undergraduate level is practical, active and hands-on. Professors go far beyond lectures, and students aren't content just to sit back and soak up information.
In the lab or the field, research opportunities allow undergraduates to develop skills they might not get in a traditional classroom. Students enhance their academic or professional credentials while learning about a subject from the inside out. Sometimes, they find mentors. Other times, they rely on their research teams and, better yet, themselves.
Saint Louis University, following the rigorous academic tradition of the Jesuits, offers undergraduate research opportunities in a broad variety of disciplines.
At the next level...
Graduate students delve completely into a discipline. They find connections among disparate texts. Apply new solutions to old problems. Discover, experiment, dream.
At Saint Louis University, research opportunities drive graduate education.
By joining current projects or spearheading new ones, graduate students gain invaluable academic experience in the research process and its outcomes. As they work to expand their own education, these students broaden the common base of knowledge.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/6/2013 (1535 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Everyone knows that if you misbehave at school, you get sent to the principal's office.
So it is for the trustees of the Winnipeg School Division. Faced with increasing concern about a lack of transparency and accountability, the trustees find themselves perilously close to being called on the carpet by Education Minister Nancy Allan.
Allan said in an interview she is following closely the developments at Manitoba's biggest school division, which has come under attack for a growing list of practices that keep most of its deliberations and decision-making behind closed doors.
"I am watching very closely," Allan said. "It's really important that boards make decisions in consultation with parents and their communities."
Allan said she has dispatched senior staff to talk with the WSD chair and trustees to find out why so much division business is being conducted behind closed doors. Allan said she has been told a motion to improve accountability -- initially suffocated under a barrage of procedural technicalities -- will be reconsidered next week. "Let's just say I'm encouraged that they are going to look at this closely," she said.
Allan did not threaten to intervene, but she repeatedly noted she has not been reluctant to get involved directly when trustees abandon the principles of accountability and transparency.
Such was the case earlier this year in the Turtle River School Division, the smallest in the province, after parents complained key decisions were being made in camera. In March, Allan sent deputy education minister Gerald Farthing to the division, near Riding Mountain, to enforce the importance of accountability and transparency.
Turtle River is a good example of how some school boards simply forget their obligation to conduct business out in the open. For example, Turtle River has consistently refused to respond to requests for budget information from Free Press education reporter Nick Martin.
Like any public organization, school divisions generally do not have the prerogative to deny the media basic information about their budgets. Of course, if you never actually get on the phone with a reporter, then you can say with convenient honesty that you've never turned down a request for information.
At the Winnipeg School Division, the dearth of accountability has reached epidemic proportions. An increasing amount of board business has been taken in camera for reasons that are not entirely clear. The board has barred the public and media from budget discussions and has refused to release the results of division-wide testing. It has even stopped recording trustee votes, claiming the practice was too time-consuming.
Worst of all, the board has tried to use the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) to enforce board secrecy and justify their actions. That is a cowardly, poorly constructed strategy that demonstrates the board's contempt for the sometimes unwieldy but still essential principles of democracy.
School boards are often the forgotten children of the political system. Trustees are elected by and accountable to citizens, just like MLAs and municipal councillors. However, because there is less public interest and media attention, many school divisions simply abandon transparency and accountability.
In the case of Winnipeg School Division, the resident dissident trustee, Mike Babinsky, has simply not allowed the secretive status quo to persist. Let's face it, if you look in the dictionary under "squeaky wheel," you'll find Babinsky's picture. True to his reputation, Babinsky has become a major conduit of board information.
It was Babinsky who moved the motion to have votes recorded without stipulation and then identified trustees who voted in an unrecorded vote to deny that motion. He has bombarded city media with other details of the school division's inner workings, including the fact the division caters all meetings and that senior administrators who negotiate salaries award themselves the same wage increases they recommend for unionized workers.
Many in the media were initially reluctant to listen to Babinsky, due in large part to the fact he seems to be constantly angling for attention. However, on this issue, he is walking on the side of the angels, and the attention he has generated to date means he is unlikely to stop revealing board secrets.
For now, Allan is watching intently, gathering information and weighing a more direct intervention. This week, trustees are expected to deal with a new iteration of the motion to make the board "more transparent and open to the public." Allan will watch for the result of that vote while looking at devising guidelines for school divisions on transparency and accountability.
The Winnipeg School Division board has clearly lost its way. Like a good principal dealing with a wayward student, it's now up to Allan to ensure these trustees become reacquainted with democracy and the citizens they serve.

Average BroadwayTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Sarah Oppenlime is a Broadway actress. Today is her birthday and her boyfriend Sebastian is taking her to see a show. She's been nagging him for days to tell her which show they are going to see. He gives her a puzzle to solve. If she solves it, she finds out what show they are seeing. Here it is.
"To find the show, you must figure out what show each phrase represents, then find out which years these shows won best musical. After that, you must find the average of those years. Then you find the show that won best musical in that year, and that's the show we are going to see.
A bunch of cute little fuzzy animals that purr.
A male magician minus the last three letters.
People who produce things.
What you wear to bed, and something that you play with the intention to have fun.
Stuff in a can that keeps your hair in place.
Alot of canned meat."
Sarah figured it out. Can you?
AnswerSebastian is taking Sarah to see her favorite musical's revival, Les Miserables.
The Wiz=1975
The Producers=2001
The Pajama Game=1955
The average of these years is 1987, which is the year that Les Miserables won best musical.

NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang lets everyone know his company is spending nearly a billion dollars each year ready to take on Intel's graphics offerings
Any notion that Intel and NVIDIA have common ground in the graphics industry can now be easily dismissed
NVIDIA's already candid CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had more than a few things to say during the company's financial analyst meeting today. An hour into the call Huang began to ad lib; clearly something was on his mind.
"We're going to open a can of whoop ass," he told analysts, who quickly broke out into laughter.
For the past two weeks Intel and NVIDIA have been playing a game of cloak and dagger with technology press, complete with secret slide shows and secret slide show rebuttals. At the heart of this covert battle is the integrated graphics market, and some of the claims attached to it.
Intel senior vice president Pat Gelsinger fired the first volley at the Intel Developer Forum last week in Shanghai. "First, graphics that we have all come to know and love today, I have news for you. It's coming to an end. Our multi-decade old 3D graphics rendering architecture that's based on a rasterization approach is no longer scalable and suitable for the demands of the future," he said.
Gelsinger's bold statement was an introduction to Intel's upcoming
graphics architecture, but it was enough to put NVIDIA on full alert.
Intel's first attempt at a discrete graphics processor in nearly a decade
, with first samples expected to ship and stay competitive with NVIDIA and AMD graphic processors.
Intel slide decks presented to media argue that spending money on CPUs and more CPU cores makes more sense than spending money on GPUs. Intel presentations go on to detail that its integrated graphics will still satisfy consumers for years, adding that its upcoming
architecture will come in variants that integrate GMA 4500 (G45) graphics directly onto the CPU package.
NVIDIA's slide shows almost completely ignore Intel's
, and focus on IGP claims. One of Intel's slide decks states GMA 3100 (G33) is more than enough to watch high definition videos. NVIDIA counters by
citing my previous publication
"While the video capabilities of the [GMA 3100] will suffice for running Vista Aero, just about any office application, and a wide variety of non-3D based games, it is not up to the task of running the latest games, decoding 1080P HD content, or even providing decent video capabilities for a media station,"
's Gary Key writes.
Huang argues that not only are Intel's integrated offerings "a joke," but that even if Intel manages increase graphics performance by ten times by 2010, that's barely up to par with current NVIDIA offerings. He claims what passes for average graphics outside of the tech enthusiast crowd should be consider abysmal in the visual computing world.
Throughout the bulk of the conference call, Huang continued to lament Intel for poor graphics performance. He hints at another Intel slide deck that claims Intel GMA 3100 is Windows Vista Premium compatible -- a claim which was
debunked by Microsoft employees in a recent lawsuit
Intel fired back minutes later, sending emails to analysts detailing NVIDIA's poor track record when it comes to
Vista crashes due to incomplete drivers
. Almost on cue, Huang responded once again.
"NVIDIA has to support several new titles every week," he said, alleging that Intel's graphics just have to support the basic office packages. "You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago," he said.
The statement clearly struck a nerve with Huang, who paused for a second before adding "How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?"
"The Space Elevator will be built about 50 years after everyone stops laughing" -- Sir Arthur C. Clarke
