Rack seems fine. Only issue was I had to bend front supports so that they where able to attach to frame screws.

seat post attachments tricky
By Jim

About Me Avid Cyclist
The rack itself is fine. Installing it was another matter. It took quite a bit of contouring of the stays that attach to the seat post to get it to fit properly. The inclusion of the longer screws for the seat post attachment was critical, though, since the original bike screws were not long enough.
Doesn't fit Nasbar's own AT2 mt. Bike?
By ziggyf
from Reno / Tahoe Nevada
First off: can Nasbar allow us to comment on others without facebook...some reviewer admits he has a road bike and knocks the product fit when this is for mountain bikes!? ... also let these comments list across the whole screen instead of a narrow border. Now my problem with this.. I ordered this rack with a new AT2 Nashbar bike and unless I used the clamp method (making the rack much weaker) it would not fit...how nuts is that!!Rack looks sturdy and has all hardware needed but make it fit your bikes the best way, with the braze-ons.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Specs and updates
By Repairman
from Chicago
Having read ALL of the reviews before buying, I decided to try to put what I think is useful size/fit etc. info all in one place. FIT: the rack is 8"ID where it mounts to the dropouts, I was concerned as my hybrid is 7"OD there so this was more than wide enough. The included allen screws are of good quality with correct thread tolerances and they drew the rack in tight with no problems. The rack is bowed a bit as a result but I don't see that as an issue unless it will interfere with whatever bags you may want to hang from it. I did not think that bending the rack at the points where the tube had already been tightly curved near the platform was a good idea, and bending that close to the welds put me off from trying to adjust it there as well. The problem of the mounting straps that go to the frame being too short has been solved, though the longer straps have several slots, not just one long one, so the short space where the each of the slots end could end up covering one of the holes in the rack. Happened to me, I lowered the rack as provided for and all was good since that "moved" the straps further back in relation to the rack and all slots/holes lined up. The breaks in the slots have to be there for strength, so the slots can't just spread wide on you when you tighten down the fasteners. At it's lowest adjustment height, the rack fit easily over 700C wheels with 700 X 32 tires. Fenders would fit as well. The one design flaw I take issue with that makes no sense to me is that the rear of the platform tilts up, meaning if you want to use a milk crate or other rigid flat container it will only contact the tail end and somewhere up toward the front of the rack. This to me was a stupid design decision as it has nothing to do with making the rack stronger and decreases it's utility. If it becomes a problem I'll mount something light as a spacer onto the platform that lets whatever flat thing I need to put there clear the tail end. Spacers are included for use with narrower frames, but I would not use them (or this rack) on such a frame since the shear force is magnified by even a short moment arm like that, meaning the rack and/or dropout holes get nuked if you're carrying max weight and hit a bad bump. Just get a rack that fits a narrower frame since using this rack on anything below a 6"OD dropout dimension is likely to get unpleasantly funky even if you bend the tabs on the adjustment part to be flat against the dropouts once drawn in. One thing you will notice from the picture is that the front part of the rack does not get as close to the frame as other racks do, where the center vertical tube is generally at the center of the platform. On this rack it's about a 2/5 front - 3/5 back split. The platform itself is trapezoidal, not rectangular and is 15 1/2" long X 5 3/4" wide at the widest point at the vertical tubes tapering to 5" at the back end. In closing, I wish mfg's and merchants would include basic size info on the stuff they sell, especially when it's going to be used on a multitude of varied products like bikes. Save us all time at the front end ya think?
Won't fit on Specialized Ariel 29'er bike
By Bzb1sk
from Ann Arbor, Michigan
Rack fit on Specialized Ariel 29'er very easily, but the stainless steel stays, or braces as I call them, are 3 " too short. Nashbar does not offer longer stays as Topeak does. Have to remove and return rack.
Good sturdy rack.
By Kirk
from Phoenix metro area
The Nashbar Universal Fit Mountain Rack was easy to install with basic tools. Total time about 30 minutes with final adjustments. I installed the rack on my hydraulic disk mountain bike, its sturdy, quiet, and it looks good. I use a milk crate strapped to the rack to do most of my grocery shopping, and general running around. I've put the bike down several times and the rack hasn't moved a bit. recommend this product.
Perfect for our Cruiseliner Tandem
By TandemCouple
from Elizabethtown, PA
I bought this rack because I needed a rack that would be tall enough to clear the top of the fender on our Trek Cruiseliner Tandem. Other racks weren't adjustable for height and the specs generally didn't address their height. I inquired of Bike Nashbar re. the max height of this rack and they responded in less than 24 hours with a definitive answer. I ordered the rack and it works perfectly and was very easy to install.
Tough and Functional
By Excuses to Bike
from Denver, Colorado
I put two Wald folding baskets on this rack and can now carry two huge canvas bags of groceries on my bike along with three children under 6. After two years of heavy use, my old rack broke in a car accident, saving my wheel from needing a true. Replaced it with the same rack, and I'm golden again. Only problem is that my bike is mostly chrome and grey. I wish they had a chrome option.

Creamy Parmesan Noodles Recipe
4 4 6
MY MOTHER served noodles with cottage cheese as a main dish on many a meatless Friday. I altered the recipe a little as a side dish, but it still makes a good main dish. I especially like to serve it with Swiss steak...the special blend of flavors makes it companionable to any meal, though. -Elizabeth Ewan, Cleveland , Ohio

NEW ORLEANS — Actor Michael Cerveris is among the organizers of simultaneous parties set for New Orleans and New York to mark the end of hurricane season and raise money for storm recovery.
Evacuteer.org, an organization that assists with hurricane evacuations in New Orleans, said its fourth annual Bye-Bye Hurricane Season party in New Orleans will run from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Nov. 30.
Meanwhile, a celebration is planned in New York to raise money for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which is helping residents of Brooklyn, Long Beach and Staten Island recover from Superstorm Sandy.
Cerveris will be among those at the New York event. He stars in "Evita" on Broadway. His television work includes roles in "Fringe" and the New Orleans-set "Treme."
Evacuteer.org was formed by volunteers to help the city of New Orleans sign up, organize and train volunteers to help with government evacuations of people who don't or can't leave on their own.
Cerveris said he first visited New Orleans when he was in college and grew to love the city, which he now makes a second home, while working on a film several years ago. He said he has done volunteer work in the area with Habitat for Humanity.
He said he met Evacuteer.org founder Robert Fogarty some time ago and ran into him recently at a charity event and began discussing the possibility of holding an event in New York to coincide with the Evacuteer.org end-of-season party.
"I had reverse-evacuated to New Orleans from New York after Sandy," he said. "We were talking about shared hurricane experiences and he said it would be a great thing to try to do a simultaneous toast in New York and New Orleans. And I said I'd like to help out."
In New Orleans, the party will be held at Eiffel Society on St. Charles Avenue.
The New York event, set for Connolly's on West 45th Street, will feature Cerveris's band, "Loose Cattle."

The whole past thing has been important for Einhart since her introducting. It's a core part of her character. It never lost importance.
And do tell me how Rio's role can be applied to "any" character. You seem to love throwing these general statements around, but I've rarely see you define them.

Yes, important to Einhart, who hasn't been important to the rest of the stuff that is going on and this stuff wasn't important to her past until the latest chapters. Again because of a reduce role.
What I mean is that when look from the outside none of this characters, and I mean none, are important or essential to the overall action going on. That is why I say their reduce roles allows us to freely take them in and out without affecting to much the rest.

I think he means because they were showing off other characters and their introspective moments during such (like Miura's), he believes Einhart's role was reduced.

Because it was. At a point we lost track of Vivio and then of Einhart. Their stories and past didn't matter because we were busy searching the rest. Some of them that start the series with us and the others that were add later on. So when we were busy with that the "main characters" were reduce to almost have no impact in such moments.

On this case it does because the "story" focus everything on the new characters. Almost to the point where the others don't even show up so we change the focus to something else and then we get back like nothing happen.

I mean significant appearance not just say "hi" in one panel or look shook in another one and is done with that. Besides that isn't the point. The point being how we shift focus we can't really talk of a consistency story with any elements because all elements are close in their own little universe.

Not the raw, I can't read Japanese.
This isn't everyone coming together this is when we finally start to kind of have a point. And I say start because I still don't see it. For once a fight is over and it actually carries over something that won't just be forget and deal with fast. That is the difference. But at no point this moment was help or any way riches because of all the fights that happen before. It was just a chain of events play in a sequence. And I should not feel it that way if this is a story.

Uhh. Yeah. I'm not too big on ViVid myself, but seriously, Sansker.
'A chain of events playing in sequence' is a story by any other name. The main variables as far as structure are 'what kind of sequence' (chronology), 'how are the events presented' (style) 'who gets the spotlight for these next ten seconds?' (focus).
If you think of Vivid as one long series of events making up a story, each chapter probably translates to a pretty short amount of screen-time. Not seeing a character for 'a while' (the total length of which you have yet to specify, I believe) isn't good evidence to say that they've been sidelined.
And from what I read you also don't seem to have the foggiest what a 'scene' is supposed to be. Not everyone can be in a certain scene at a time, and especially not with a cast as large as ViVid's. With the number of pages the manga-ka has to put content in, they'd need text as verbose as Death Note's for us to get anything more than 'hi-bye' out of any one character if everyone were to appear in a scene.
Scenes are limited in their 'active cast' or 'present cast' by definition precisely because there are other storytelling aspects the author needs to concentrate on, such as fleshing out characters and actually getting on with the plot! Both are important, even where supporting characters are concerned. It would be pretty boring if only the main character ever got development and everyone else was cardboard-cutout fetish material, wouldn't it? And making the main character the only source of plot development would make them a walking armory of plot devices. Pretty lame choices either way.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that you need to make your stand clearer? That means actually looking through an online dictionary to find the exact words you want to use to make your point, and not settling for approximations that make a Triple Masters in Irony, Linguistics and Guesswork required reading to understand your comments.
All I actually understood from your most recent posts was 'I didn't read the raws, but never mind that someone else has, from what I read so far the story sucks for reasons I can't explain in comprehensible English', and unless there's some mitigating factor in your argument that I missed somewhere, I think the only reply I can really give you is "for the first time in your life, bro, go read a book!"

I do try to make myself clear. But this discussion is something that we already have in the past about ViVid and my personal disagreements with it.
You completely miss the point. Is not that the scenes are play in a sequence is that they are random things play in a sequence. When you have a collage of things that barely show some theme going and still playing one after the other you need something to connect them. Usually that is the story. But in ViVid the story is so shallow that I just feel they put this chapter, after this chapter, after this one with barely a narrative flow between them. Not because there isn't one, since the tournament must move on, but because one event doesn't seem to affect the others.
Also, I know what a scene is. ViVid likes to put lots of characters in the same place, at the same time, so when most of them serve no purpose to that scene: why are they even there then? The lack of focus not just on character but on who's story this is or where is going hurts the manga and makes it boring.

And if you're complaining that the tournament felt disjointed, that's because it's done match by match. The scene, setting and circumstances for each one can be vastly different due to the setup of the competition itself. Actually, tournaments of this sort are designed to prevent events from one match from affecting others in the first place, so the point is a little moot.
However, if you're complaining that the tournament felt rushed and didn't contribute to ViVid's plot I can only say that I'm glad it was rushed away precisely because it didn't contribute much to anything at all.
But that's not your main point, is it? Your main point is that ViVid isn't clear on the focus of its story. Well it is quite clear, on paper at least, that this seems to be about the past of Ancient Belka, as shown through the eyes of -conveniently!- cute little and not so little girls.
I agree though, that the execution has muddled things a great deal so far. The live-action game of Marvel Vs Capcom wasn't the most brilliant idea for character introductions.

A MAN has been arrested after a man died falling from a cliff in North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire Police have appealed to walkers who were in the Kettleness and Runswick Bay area on Friday, July 18, after a 51-year-old man fell from a cliff at Kettleness Point at about 11.20pm.
The injured man, from the Cleveland area, was airlifted to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough, where he was pronounced dead, and police are carrying out an investigation to determine the circumstances which led to his death.
Police said a man in his twenties from the Whitby area was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the incident and has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
Temporary Detective Superintendent Steve Smith, said: "This is a tragic incident involving two climbers who appear to have got into difficulty, resulting in the death of one of them. A full investigation is underway to establish exactly what happened. The family of the dead man are being supported by specially trained officers at this time."
Police believe at least two walkers were in the area at about the time of the incident, and have urged anyone who was nearby from 10.45am onwards to contact Scarborough CID on 101 with any information.
*This article has been amended to include the correct time of the call.

We have been selling foam buffing padsfor some time now as well as using them on our personal and customers'cars. Even though I detail cars quite often I find myself asking: whatpad, what color, and what product from time to time.
In an effort to better the product and more aptly serve my clients I added the following guidelines to the back of the pads.
The Uber Foam Pads now have the step (compound/medium polish/polish/final polish/wax/sealant) stamped on the back of it.
Orange pad = medium polish (European Foam)
Green pad = polish (60 PPI)
Blue pad = glaze or final polish (70 PPI)
Black pad = glaze/wax/sealant (80 PPI)
The other benefits to the Uber Foam Pads are highlighted below.
We have taken the extra step to evenly trim the Velcro loop back from the outer edge of the pad to prevent accidentalcontact with the paint that could cause $100's or possibly $1000's in damages. Check our enclosed sample againstyour current stock.
Our pads our consistently crisply and cleanly cut. The side walls of the pad are perfectly straight down on every pad.Check your current pads and you will find inconsistent concaved sidewalls. This is due to incorrect cuttingprocedures. You will find every pad will look different.CONSISTENT QUALITY!
ADHESIVEA common problem with Velcro pads is the Velcro peeling off. We are using an adhesive that will never come off -ever. It is heat resistant, chemical resistant and 100% fully washable for multiple uses. There is no better value!
Helpful Hints and Tips:
Unlike wool pads, there are no blended foam buffing pads. Foam pads are 100% foam, but they performslightly different from each other on the basis of how they're constructed. Under a microscope, foam padslook like a bee's honeycomb, small uniformly shaped cells. The smaller the cells the more densely theconstruction, this type of foam pad would be considered less aggressive, thus it would be considered afinishing pad. The opposite effect takes place if the foam cells were larger, or less dense. This construction will causethe foam pad to be more aggressive, as in a compounding pad.
There are various grades of foam pads on either side of the aggressive or finishing scale. We make up to 4 gradesof foam pads; each represented by a different color. Early on, foam buffing pad colors were standardized, however,more colors were added to the mix and now there is a broad band or examples.
All of our pads are made of high strength reticulated foam. In other words, the cells are open; this allowsair to flow through the foam. Chemical compounds and polishes require the right amount of air flow through thefoam. Open cell foam is ideal for this process to succeed. Not only is closed cell foam not ideal, it is weaker structurally.

CodeFuNinja - Thursday, February 11, 2010 - linkI'm personally looking forward to seeing what this new hardware can actually do for gaming and performance.
As much as i prefer nVidia GPUs over AMDs GPUs, i can't say bad about ATI/AMD on any of their previous GPUs, because i think of the 360 GPU and what it can actually do, and to actually outpace the RSX by such a wide margin that's impressive, especially as you're working on a limited but standardized platform as compared to the PC and its wide open platform and unlimited system configurations
Although thats kind of funny as i've always prefered AMD CPUs and nVidia GPUs Reply

DanNeely - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkIf you remember the nVidia rumors from last spring/summer the GT300 chip was supposed to be 400-500SP scaleup of the existing architecture from the 8xxx/9xxx/2xx series cards done on a 40nm process (possibly with the DX10.1 update that the GT240 is sporting). I suspect that nVidia's 40nm woes resulted in this chip being canceled in favor of putting effort into bringing Fermi forward in time; although they still weren't able to beat ATI to the punch with a DX11 part.

mindless1 - Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - linkThere is 240GT and 240GTS. GTS is not just an overclocked GT, and it has the larger 55(?)nm process size vs 40nm for GT.
The former 240GT is what you refer to, the latter is what the former post refers to.

Bob Smith - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkWhat a pity!
ATi/AMD delivered the DirectX 11 experience to its fans months ago. nVidia couldn't make it. It's real, and it's a tremendous defeat! That's what happened, that's the truth.
It's called "Cost of Opportunity". There's no price to be the first to experience a ATi Radeon HD 5870 in its all glory, a single card crushing nVidia's dual card GTX 295. And we're talking about a heavy title such as Crytek Crysis @ 2560×1600.
According to Tom's Hardware, nVidia GTX 295 simply didn't work at that resolution. Pity again! Please, see for yourself.
One of the paragraphs from this review says:
"Notice the missing result for Nvidia's GeForce GTX 295 at 2560×1600 with 8xAA? That's due to the card not having ample on-board memory to run that configuration (and the game not knowing any better than to keep it from trying). Grand Theft Auto gets around this by simply making resolutions unavailable if a graphics card doesn't have a large enough frame buffer. Crysis crashes instead."
GTX 295 not being able to run Crysis @ 2560×1600? Pity!
Fermi has got to be better and faster than Cypress. It's an obligation for nVidia to build this in that way, since they had, at least, more time to conceive it.
And, as always, don't be fooled: you're going to hurt your pocket to have Fermi installed onto your RIG. Be prepared to pay the price. It happened with Cypress. It's going to be the same with Fermi. And since, nVidia cards are always much more expensive than ATi/AMD's, one Fermi card can reach as much as 750 bucks. Wait and see.
Take this weekend and go to your favorite retail store and grab your ATi Radeon HD 5870. It's there, real. Just take it.
Fermi, humpf…maybe 3Q2010 you'll get one. It's just an illusion…a dream (that hasn't come true…hehehehe…)
ATi/AMD vs nVidia
ATi/AMD offers 3-monitor output. You don't need a Crossfire (CF).
nVidia: the new Fermi delivers only 2-monitor output. If you want to experience a 3-monitor gaming setup, you must buy two nVidia cards, a lot more expensive than one single ATi Radeon HD 5970, for instance. Although it's a bit expensive to afford a 3-monitor rig, that's what gamers are starting to look at.
ATi/AMD is delivering the ultimate gaming experience with its latest Dx11 card.
nVidia is moving away from the gaming industry bringing horrible products that definitely didn't make it.
NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround – Expensive and A Huge Mess?
We're talking about gaming here, not working at the office with business solutions, CUDA, GPGPU, etc.
What the hell is CUDA, PhysX, anyway?
If now we have just a couple of titles, it's the beginning of a new gaming generation with Windows 7 and DirectX 11; it's a trend, it's the future.
Does anybody REALLY has any titles which benefit from PhysX. How many are available? Did you know that PhysX is proprietary? nVidia does not offer it as an open standard. Guess now why so few or non-PhysX titles? huh?
ATi/AMD is working on a new generation of its current line of products to be available in the second semester.
nVidia: when exactly Fermi will be available? hehehehe…pity!
ATi/AMD is completely committed to the gaming industry.
nVidia is a big company, but it's not working to the gaming industry anymore.
ATi/AMD won last year. And it will win again this year.
nVidia was a big FIASCO last year. It it will do it again in 2010! Pity!

osmosum - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkWhat a pity you are just picking and choosing results to suit your argument.
Theres actually a benchmark many sites use to convey what you are talking about. That is, the benchmark consists of dozens to 100 games. Each FPS score of every game is added together. Nvidia always wins. SLI always comes in last. Get a clue.
Oz Reply
osmosum - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkThe Sum-FPS benchmark gives 0 points for a game if it cannot play at that resolution. ATI cards wind up playing the least amount of games when compared to Nvidia. Thats all I need to know who to buy. I dont have time to fiddle with settings to make *any* video card work, it just better, off the bat.

cactusdog - Friday, February 05, 2010 - linkWrong,when fermi comes out ATI wont be obsolete. It will still be a hell fast DX11 card that will play any game at the highest resolutions for the next couple of years. Fermi being slighty faster doesnt make ATI obsolete. Obsolete is what ATI did to Nvidia when they released a DX11 card. Nvidia had nothing so their GTX 2XX series became obsolete. Reply
mindless1 - Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - linkYou couldn't be more wrong. Show us titles using significant DX11 features, it is necessary for DX10 parts, from ATI included, to be obsolete. Only a handful of games have any DX11 features at all.
Instead what matters is performance at the games people are playing.
What is worse for nVidia is the lower performance per dollar. Reply

Nfarce - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkNah, the douche bag just has no life, like an AMD loving, Intel hating fangirl (and I do say "girl" because little zit-faced punks like this couldn't get a girl in the real world - or a hot one anyway).
What the limpdix like "Bob" don't understand is that competition is good. One year ATi wins; another year nVidia wins. When both take turns winning we consumers all win. I've had GeForce and ATi, and have both in two current gaming rigs (HD 4870 in one and GTX 275 in another). And for the record, my GTX 275 overclocked and tuned with programs like nHancer smokes the HD 4870 with the best it can do from ATi's CCC. But you'll never hear an ATi fangirl bring up overclocking facts and ATi driver and CCC snafus.
In any event, I'll be selling one of those rigs this year and building another (probably the HD 4870 rig). If ATi still has the better card than nVidia as currently, then I'll buy ATi. If nVidia has better performance with the new card however - even for more bucks like I spent on the GTX 275 over the HD 4870, then I'll probably go nVidia. Finally, I game a lot with Microsoft FSX, and nVidia cards smoke the ATi cards in that program (one reason I have two rigs).
Fangirls need not apply. Nothing to see here, right Bob? Reply
Galidou - Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - linkAti owner here, not fanboy, system builder, tester of every card on the market. Ati overclocking fact, never used CCC it shucks but ATI Tray tool overclocks well. Comparing GTX275 overclocked with ATI4870, comon, look at the prices, 4870 fares well against GTX260(higher priced than 4870). Bob, Fermi will overkill ATI and that's for sure, they developped something that was technically a challenge. Sure It's gonna be overpriced, but it's gonna be for those who want performance over anything like price.
Problem nowadays, most games are developped for consoles and PCs, so they run amazing on something like GTX260/4870 at high/max details 1920*1080, except Crysis. The best of the games are gonna go out on consoles and PC. So until XboxCube or Playstation4 gets out, titles won't need amazing video card, keep your cpu and ram to a good level and everything will be alright. Performance wise, these video cards are for benchers, extreme performance overclocker and or someone that owns a 30 inch monitor. That represents .01%(if so) of the market for video cards, welcome! Reply
coldpower27 - Friday, February 05, 2010 - linkAgreed with the portion that GTX 275 and the 4870 are in 2 different price categories. I would say the 4890 and the GTX 275 are at even parity.
Fermi is designed to push technical limits and have a halo effect on Nvidia's lineup to help sell their lower offerings. It wasn't designed to be truly cost effective, like ATI's price/performance parts are. Nvidia has a different goal in mind, and that is totally alright.
With the GPU horsepower we have now, we can continue pushing boundaries, you can run a multi-monitor setup, or have GTX 295 performance levels in a single GPU configuration at lower power consumption.
If you wanted adequate performance, you can get something in the 9800GTX+ range that plays fine at 1680x1050.
Take a look at Steam' survey results, even now 1280x1024, an older 17inch CRT, 17-19inch LCD Resolution, and 1680x1050, 20-22inch LCD's represent the majority.
These video cards were never developed with "adequate" in mind, Fermi is truly about pushing boundaries and being bold.
Targon - Monday, February 08, 2010 - linkThere is the fact that Fermi still isn't available, and AMD has had a good amount of time to improve things on the 5870. As a result, we may very well see a 5890 released by the time Fermi even hits the shelves. In addition to that, work is obviously going on toward the Radeon 6000 series while NVIDIA has to keep working to get Fermi out the door.
Fermi may end up taking the performance crown by the time it is released, but we may be looking at another Radeon 9700 vs. Geforce 5800 situation here, where nothing NVIDIA does in this generation will let them catch up due to all the "extra abilities" that their products are trying to offer.
The Radeon 5870(and a number of other 5000 series parts) are already capable of 3 monitor output, but not just for a few titles that are designed to support it. Eyefinity really does let you just combine multiple monitors together so applications only see one display with the higher resolution available. Fermi, no matter the horsepower may not be able to offer that.
That's really about it, Fermi just isn't out yet, and until it is, the big question won't be about how POWERFUL it is for most, it will be about DirectX 11 support, and going forward, OpenCL support and other standards. Yes, PhysX support will matter in a handful of applications/games, but how long will it be before it is replaced by an open standard by application and game developers?
Darkness Flame - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linknVidia has already announced, and possibly launched the GeForce 300M series, along with the G 310 OEM desktop card. They could be skipping the rest of the 300 series so that consumers will not be confused as to which cards carry the new architecture, and which do not. Just my guess, however. Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkThere have been 8800 rebadge jokes already, but I really think they are reserving the 300 namespace for rebadges of current products since the die size and price of Fermi will be incredibly high. Reply

JarredWalton - Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - linkI was going to point this out... given that the various 300M parts are all currently DX10/10.1, it would really be good to see all the 300 series parts follow that feature set. Then 400 series can be reserved for true DX11 parts. Kind of makes you wonder when we'll see 400M, eh? If the next mobile architecture out of NVIDIA is only DX10, they're going to have a tough battle against AMD/ATI's Mobility 5000 parts! Reply

Gas leak capped in San Mateo
Updated 12:44 pm, Wednesday, April 17, 2013
(04-17) 12:43 PDT SAN MATEO -- A stretch of El Camino Real in San Mateo was closed to traffic for about three hours Wednesday because of a natural-gas leak, authorities said.
A construction crew digging near El Camino and Third Avenue hit a 2-inch steel gas-distribution line around 8:30 a.m., said Joe Molica, a spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The crew was not with PG&E and was working on a Caltrans project, he said.
The gas leak prompted an evacuation of two nearby buildings, a Union Bank and a Bank of America. El Camino was closed at Third Avenue while PG&E crews worked to stop the leak, officials said.
The leak was capped just before 11 a.m., and the evacuation orders were lifted, Molica said. El Camino between Third and Fifth remains partially blocked to traffic while crews finish the cleanup.

Bar-tho-lynn Gland Sist
Bartholin glands are located on either side of the entrance to the vagina. A cyst is a pocket of fluid in the tissue around these glands. If the cyst becomes infected, it is called a Bartholin gland abscess.
Bartholin glands make fluid that lubricates the vagina. If the glands become blocked, the fluid can back up and create a cyst. Sometimes, bacteria or viruses can develop in this fluid and lead to an infection.
Women with a history of cysts are more likely to develop a Bartholin gland cyst.
Sexually transmitted infections may also increase the risk of an infected cyst.
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a specialist.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested if an infection is suspected. The sample may be sent for a culture or biopsy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. If you do not have symptoms, your doctor may want to monitor your condition without treatment. Antibiotics may be advised if there is an infection caused by bacteria. Pain medication may help manage discomfort.
If your symptoms do not improve, surgery may be required. The three types of surgical options include:
A catheter is inserted into the cyst to let fluid drain out. The catheter will stay in place 4-6 weeks while the fluid drains from the cyst.
If catheterization is not effective, then an incision may be made into the cyst to allow the fluid to drain. A small opening may be left to let the fluid continue to drain.
For some, the gland may be removed but this is less common.

nkl - Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - linkThe speeds may be similar, but you should be able to get a better coverage with powerline. Speed above 1Gbps is a phy metric, the actual throughput depends on many factors. In any case, MIMO should boost performance substantially, since it uses 3 wires instead of 2. Reply
jmaier - Monday, October 28, 2013 - linkWith MiMo you can expect a PHY rate of ~ 1.5Gbps and a UDP throughput of ~ 600Mbps. There are only 2 line drivers therefore only 2 wires will be used (2x2). Reply
mide123 - Thursday, December 03, 2015 - link2 line drivers implies 2 transmitters. But it could have up to 4 receivers with the 3 wires. So I expect it to work as 2x4 MIMO. Reply

PUPILS at a Darwen school have called 'foul play' over people who let their dog use the pavement as a toilet.
Children from Darwen Vale High School have joined forces with Blackburn with Darwen Council and the police to tackle the issue of dog mess in public places.
The pupils, who are members of the Darwen police cadets, were leading a 'Foul Play' campaign that saw them design posters to encourage people to be responsible dog owners.
They also surveyed shoppers in Darwen Market to find out what people thought about the issue and how they thought it should be tackled.
The young people were joined by officers from the council, which has called for residents to help it crack down on the problem as part of its Your Call campaign.
Officers were recruiting people to join the council's Dog Solutions workshops, which give people advice on how to be the front line in tackling dog mess.
Council leader Coun Kate Hollern said: "This is a brilliant example of the Your Call campaign in action and I am delighted that these young people have decided to take a stand and say enough is enough.
"People are fed up with irresponsible dog owners failing to do their duty and clean up after their pets.
"It is not only disgusting but a health risk as well."
Darwen Vale deputy headteacher Dave Hallam said: "It is good to see our pupils volunteering to raise public awareness on this issue through community projects."

GILBOA — If you happen to be traveling down Road J-3 north of Gilboa, a rainbow of colors may catch your eye. The colors are 1/8 acre of zinnias on the Ruth and Jim Hovest.
Jim has been planting the zinnias for several years.
"I keep my own seed for the next year," Jim said.
The garden is twelve rows wide by 50 feet long.
Ruth said they often see cars slow down to look at the flowers.
"We've had some people come and take graduation or other pictures in the flower garden," she said.
Jim, who has been a farmer all his life, said planting the zinnias is just something he enjoys doing.
Standing at the edge of the garden he pointed out his wife's colorful gladiolas. "You should do a story on her flowers," he said laughing.
Ruth said although she planted bulbs of many colors this year, only two varieties, white, and maroon and white, came up.
"I may have to buy new bulbs next year if I want more colors," she said.

In this webinar we have a moderated discussion about the practical application of formal verification technologies in MATLAB® and Simulink®. MathWorks engineers introduce the topic of formal verification and answer your questions.
Formal verification methods have been in use in software engineering since the 1970s. Their use, however, is often limited to specialized environments and research projects. In hardware design, such tools have already entered industry mainstream; new tools and integration with simulation and other existing technologies promise to make a mark in embedded software design and verification.
Applications of formal verification in embedded software today include:

FRATELLOS picked up in 2013 where they left off at the end of last year, crushing DJC Marlborough 5-0 to open up a six-point lead at the top of the Swindon & District League Premier Division.
The table toppers romped into a three-goal lead at the break against DJC, as Charlie Grabe Aaron Webb and Dave Slattery's penalty added to their bottom-placed visitors' woes.
And there was no let-off after half-time, as Steve Bunting smashed home twice in the second period to put the gloss on another comfortable victory.
To make matters worse for DJC, Fratellos' veteran goalkeeper James Whitlock saved a penalty in the last minute.
Swiss Chalet Rangers lost ground on the league leaders after they slipped up 4-3 at home to AFC Globe.
The visitors took the lead in a scrappy encounter through Ashley Piotrowski and extended their advantage thanks to Nigel Baker's strike.
Swiss Chalet bounced back and drew level courtesy of goals from Gareth Walton and Lewis Polden, but Globe edged back in front after Jonathan Slattery converted a penalty.
All that came before the break, but the game tightened up after the interval. Baker gave Globe a cushion with his second of the game and, though Darryl Herring scored for the hosts to cue a frantic last few minutes, the away side held on.
Ferndale WMC made a slovenly start to the new year in Division One, as they were hammered 8-1 at home by Sportz Central.
Alisto Pires and Pete Oakwell both hit hat-tricks for Sportz Central, while Clinton Novaes and Royston Fernandes also got their names on the scoresheet.
Fox and Hound beat Chiseldon 5-2. Fox went ahead in the sixth minute through Darryl Kemble before Cary Watson added a second 11 minutes later.
Stuart Cody pulled a goal back for the visitors straight from the restart, but almost immediately Fox went down the other end and Darren Rudman made it 3-1. The home side made the game safe just before the break when Lee Gratton rounded off a fine solo run with a clinical finish.
Cody found the back of the net in the 50th minute to give the visitors lingering hopes of a revival, but it never materialised and with 10 minutes to go Cary collected Dean Bird's pass to notch Fox's fifth of the afternoon.
Ramsbury edged past Larry's Plaice 2-1. Ramsbury scored first through Dan Callaghan, Larry's Plaice levelled but Daniel Francis popped up with the winner for the hosts.
Old Town maintained their 100 per cent record this season with a 4-0 victory over Swindon Spitfires. Chris Woods registered a brace for Old Town, sandwiching strikes from Dan Head and Dale Bird.
Finally, Bassett Bulldogs did the season's double over Tap and Barrel, as Chris Edwards and Wayne Matthews scored their goals in a 2-1 win away from home.

Composition Courses
Functional tonal harmony analyzed and composed in various musical textures. Emphasis on voice leading, melodic writing, and figured bass.
Continuation of CM-211. Advanced tonal harmony and intermediate compositional procedures. Emphasis on harmonies with sevenths, other upper extensions, chromatic alterations as well as modulation.
Specific techniques of traditional tonal composition. Conclusive and nonconclusive phrases; antecedent-consequent phrase relationships; open-ended phrase relationships; sequencing; modulation; large-scale tonal relationships; thematic variation and development. Application of these techniques in writing, using models from the classical period.
During this course the students will explore and master the technique of modulation to the keys both closely related and distant. Using the concepts of three degrees of kinship between keys and the major-minor (minor-major) systems, the students will acquire the skill of gradual modulation as well as sudden modulation, as it was taught in Russia. This practical/theoretical approach will both contrast and complement current methods of handling this more advanced area of harmony, and will thus bring about for the student additional practical applications of these concepts.
The technical aspects involved in creating finished, professional scores. Score layout; instrumental/vocal ranges and performance characteristics; special playing techniques and limitations; breath and bowing considerations; choice of key, meter, beat, and subdivision values; use of slurs, articulation marks, dynamics, tempo variation, and other devices for indicating expressive nuance; proper underlaying of vocal text; calligraphy; creating a practical piano reduction; and extracting parts.
This course introduces students to diatonic harmonic analysis in various musical textures, melody writing, and harmonization of melodies in various musical textures.
This course is a continuation of CM-251. Students explore more in-depth concepts, including advanced traditional harmony and intermediate compositional procedures, as well as seventh chords, altered chords, and modulation.
Specific techniques of traditional 20th-century composition. Technical devices such as quartal harmony, serial writing, polytonality, and contrapuntal techniques. Assignments are directly related to each of these aspects of composition and are performed in class.
The continuation of CM-311 with concentration on the employment of serial approaches to composition. Various composition assignments and a final project are required.
The workshop provides opportunities for student composers to hear performances of their own work, and for student performers to gain public performing experience of original student works and works written within the last 60 years. Important works of the 20th century are explored. It is advisable, but not required, for students to have taken MHIS-261 prior to enrolling in this course. This course can be repeated for credit.
Discussion of string instruments, their special effects, and proper notation. Principles of string orchestration and voicing techniques.
The course will focus on the acquisition of skills with technological tools for the creation of professional composition portfolios. Production of publication-ready scores and parts using Finale or Sibelius notation software will be emphasized, including nonstandard notation. Basic audio editing techniques will also be presented to create demonstration recordings.

Specialized studies, anecdotal evidence and personal experience have all demonstrated that the legal profession seems particularly inhospitable to successfully achieving a work/life balance. The MBA's July/August edition of Lawyers Journal takes an in-depth look at this state of affairs, examining study results and surveying career choices and consequences. Learn about organizations that are exploring ways to redesign work and private life to create more time for family and other priorities, and discover which local firms are role models in the legal community.
Coverage highlights the work of the MBA's Lawyers in Transition Committee to address work/life balance issues, particularly for attorneys who, because of parenting demands, drop out of the profession entirely rather than scale back or find a more flexible environment to practice in. And Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers focuses on an associate on the brink of becoming a partner who, in reexamining priorities, questions potential work/life balance perils.

U.S. soybean futures tumbled on expectations the U.S. Department of Agriculture will raise its estimates for domestic and global inventories in hotly anticipated crop reports on Friday, traders said. Grain futures also slipped.
The USDA at 11 a.m. CST (1700 GMT) is projected to raise its outlook for U.S. soy inventories at the end of the crop's marketing year on Aug. 31 by 2.3 percent from last month to 133 million bushels, according to a Reuters poll.
Global soybean supplies are seen up 0.4 percent from last month at 60.17 million tonnes.
"A reduction to the soybean stocks/use ratio could turn things higher, but the market is expecting the reports to be more unfavorable for soybeans," said Kayla Burkhart, broker for SunPrairie Grain.
Chicago Board of Trade March soybeans slid 1.2 percent to $13.62-3/4 a bushel by 9:40 a.m. CST. The market was down about 0.3 percent for the week.
March corn was down 0.9 percent at $6.92-3/4, but up almost 2 percent for the week. March wheat dipped 0.8 percent to $7.38-3/4 and was down almost 1 percent for the week.
Soybeans have dropped for four days in a row amid expectations that Brazil, which competes with the United States for export business, will produce a record crop this year.
Competition for business is likely to intensify for soybean suppliers in February when the Brazilian crop hits the market.
The USDA on Friday said private exporters had struck deals to sell 120,000 tonnes of U.S. soybeans to top importer China.
On Thursday, exporters reported 306,000 tonnes of U.S. and optional-origin soybeans to China for delivery this marketing year and next. On Wednesday, they reported 120,000 tonnes of optional-origin soybeans to China for 2013/14 delivery. Soy sales to China are "doing little in the way of helping out the futures market", Burkhart said.
Soy planting in Argentina, which also competes for export business, advanced quickly in the past week to cover more than 90 percent of the targeted area, easing fears of a crop shortfall that could keep world food prices high, a key grains exchange said on Thursday.
An unusually wet start to the 2012/13 crop year delayed sowing in Argentina, the world's No. 3 soybean exporter and top supplier of soyoil and soymeal.
Heavy rains are forecast for Brazil's center-west and southeast regions over the next five days, helping what should be a record soybean harvest and giving some relief to hydroelectric dam reservoirs, local meteorologist Somar said on Thursday.
Top soy-growing state Mato Grosso received below-average rainfall in October and December, though rains were ample in November and should be strong in January, Somar meteorologist Marco Antonio dos Santos told Reuters.
Weather is less favorable in the United States for wheat. A cold snap expected early next week in the U.S. Plains' hard red winter wheat region may harm some of the crop that is already struggling amid the worst drought in more than 50 years, said Andy Karst, meteorologist for World Weather Inc.
The U.S. Plains remained tightly gripped by a severe drought, according to a report issued on Thursday, and fears mounted that another hot and dry year could lie ahead for key crop-growing and cattle-grazing regions.
Still, the USDA on Friday is expected to estimate U.S. winter wheat seedings at 42.687 million acres (17.275 million hectares), up 3.3 percent from last year.

A strange and magical place, which typically can only be reached through either a combination of large amounts of shrooms and the use of portable toilets, or prolonged exposure to the transcendent music of the band Phish. Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio was the first to describe the back of the worm; during a show in Amsterdam in 1997, in the middle of a creepy, ambient jam called Wormtown, Anastasio described to the audience his experience of being sucked into a public urinal and riding around on the back of giant worms. Very few others have been lucky enough to experience The Back of the Worm, but most of the people who have did so at Phish concerts.
I think you know where you are. ...YOU'RE ON THE BACK OF THE WORM! Seriously, though, stay away from those portable toilets in Amsterdam.

|Naval Architect Or Stylist?
should design your next boat?
By George L. Petrie — May 2001
Once upon a time, it wasn't a matter of choice. If you wanted to build
a custom boat, you hired a naval architect to do the design, or you hired
a yard, which then engaged a naval architect for the design work. That,
and maybe an interior decorator, was all you needed. The naval architect
had complete control of and responsibility for the design, including hull
form, proportions, powering, stability, structure, arrangement, and styling.
