Stone, 173 x 36 x 32.5 cm
Genre: Islamic Art, Sculpture
Location: Cloisters
Accession Number: S12w2
The Arabic inscription at the head of this slab informs viewers it marks "the tomb of him whom God has exalted by the glory of martyrdom after a life of abundance in the world through leadership and the caliphate; and he is the sultan…" Although the rest of the inscription, which would presumably have included the name of the deceased, has been effaced, these few lines suffice to introduce his piety and power. The splendid and meticulously handled carving that envelopes the tombstone attests to the aesthetic refinement and achievements of the reign of the Timurid dynasty (1397–1501) in Iran and Central Asia.
Historically, Islamic traditions prescribe simple and egalitarian burial practices. Fearing the temptations of ancestor worship or idolatry, the Prophet Muhammad reportedly discouraged permanent or elaborate tomb structures. A compromise between religious purity, human nature, and pre-Islamic burial practices, this tombstone nevertheless evokes Islamic values and symbols. The decorative program excludes the representation of humans or animals, relying instead on Arabic inscriptions in stately naskh or monumental kufic scripts, and a profusion of arabesques.
Invoking the Day of Judgment, the Koranic phrase "Judgment is to God" (12.66) appears in rectangular panels on three sides of the tombstone. Most beautifully written is the inscription in the smaller of two panels on the main side of the tombstone. Here bold letters with interlacing ascenders trace right angles, in contrast to the diminutive floral scroll in the background.
Lotus and peony blossoms punctuate the border channels, evoking not only the influence of Chinese art so prized by the Timurids, but also the Islamic concept of the after-life as a garden. The notion that the faithful will be rewarded in an eternal garden is perhaps also alluded to by the term rawdat, with which the tombstone refers to itself. Although rawdat may be translated as "tomb," it literally means "garden."
A self-contained network of vigorous and intricate arabesques fills a long panel on the front face of the slab. Dominating the panel is an extremely stylized arabesque in which large heads formed of split leaves and spirals branch from elastically curling stems. Around and beneath it glides a secondary arabesque composed of more naturalistic flowers and leaves. Crisply and precisely carved, this multi-layered interlacing perfectly expresses the Timurid delight in complexity and virtuosity.
In the upper fourth of the panel, a continuous, cusping line traces the top of an arch, calling to mind a mihrab – the niche or arch in the wall of a mosque that marks the direction toward Mecca. A fundamental requirement of Islam is that worshipers face toward Mecca for prayer, and the mihrab serves as a directional symbol. Its presence on a tombstone is a reminder that in Islamic burial traditions, the body is aligned with Mecca for its final rest.

Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act or, more formally, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Pub. L. No. 93-112, 87 Stat. 394 (Sept. 26, 1973), was an American piece of legislation that guaranteed certain rights to people with disabilities.
Section 504Edit
Section 504 states (in part):
No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States, as defined in section 705(20) of this title, shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance or under any program or activity conducted by any Executive agency or by the United States Postal Service.
Codified at 29 U.S.C. 794.
Section 504 is one of three laws that address the rights of children with disabilities to receive a free and appropriate education (FAPE). The other laws are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In the school context, the requirements of Section 504 are normally satisfied by complying with IDEA. However, Section 504 can be useful in providing rights to students for issues outside of the normal the school day such as extracurricular activities, sports, and after school care. Section 504 is a condition to the receipt of federal grants and therefore only applies in the context of those schools who receive federal grants. Section 504 is also distinguished from IDEA in that Section 504 has a different and broader definition of what constitutes a disability.
Schools comply with Section 504 with the following process: Identify students with disabilities; evaluate those students; if the student is eligible, create a written accommodation plan. In the IDEA context, this would be similar to the Individualized Education Program (IEP). Parents, Teachers, and school staff are a part of the process. Parents have due process rights; where they disagree with the determinations of the school, they have a right to an impartial hearing.
Violations of Section 504 in the educational environment can be addressed locally with the education agency or with the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education. Violations of Section 504 can result in a loss of the federal funding. According to the US Dept. of Education, individuals may also bring a private right of action for violations of Sec. 504.
History Edit
Section 504 was the last sentence in the 1973 Act. However, more than three years later, no implementing rules had been issued. That spurred the American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities to make "Sign 504" it's #1 priority. Section 504 was somewhat controversial because it afforded people with disabilities many rights similar to those in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Throughout the Reagan administration, many efforts were made to weaken this legislation. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 very specifically stated that it made no amendments, weakening or otherwise, to section 504, and indeed extended the reach of its principles to the private sector (hotels, stores, sporting venues, restaurants, and telecommunications, among others).
Extracurricular Activity Edit
Section 504 covers extracurricular and after school programs such as sports, music lessons, and after school care. 34 C.F.R. § 104.37.

Health body Quit Victoria says it's disappointed by the High Court's decision not to hear an appeal in the case of lung cancer victim Rolah McCabe against tobacco giant British American Tobacco (BAT).
Executive Director Todd Harper says the decision is staggering in light of recent revelations from former tobacco industry employees.
'The key to this case has been the systematic destruction of thousands of documents by BAT, which Mrs McCabe's lawyers contend denied her a fair trial. BAT has never at any stage denied that documents were destroyed.'
'The destruction of evidence in order to keep it out of court raises serious issues that go far beyond this case.'
'It shouldn't be up to a battling family from Cranbourne to protect the administration of justice.'
'Over the last few months former senior BAT lawyers have confirmed on oath that the true intent behind the company's co-called 'document retention policy was to make sure that damaging documents would not be used against the company in court.'
'This is evidence that hasn't been before any court. These are serious allegations that go to the heart of the integrity of the legal system.'
'These allegations need to be fully investigated, and if appropriate, prosecuted by the proper authorities, such as the Attorney General, the police and the Director of Public Prosecutions.'
'Mrs McCabe's children have bravely carried on her fight, despite BAT's threat to pursue them for legal costs.'
'We commend Mrs McCabe's children for their determination to fight for justice for their mother, especially when they're faced with such a powerful and well-resourced adversary.'

The market is being hit with a minor bout of profit taking so far today, but volume is very light and the selling is contained.
There isn't any panic selling and some of the weaker stocks, like Apple (AAPL), have bounce off early lows.
With this sort of market action, the big question is whether it is just some healthy consolidation or the start of a topping process. Back in September and October I talked quite a bit about the topping process, which ultimately took hold, but it is far too early to be too negative right now. The market is entitled to some weak action and until we actually start to test the gap that was created on the fiscal cliff agreement, I am in no hurry to try much, if anything, on the dark side.
One of the differences between active traders, like me, and buy-and-hold investors is that we actually root for market pullbacks. What makes for good trading is the ebb and flow of prices, so days like this when there is plenty of weakness but no major distribution are a positive. Of course, if we start breaking some support levels and the intensity of selling picks up then we will need to adjust our thinking. But at this point the uptrend is intact.
I'm still in buy mood and looking for things of interest, but all I see are a few odds and ends that don't warrant much aggression.

SAM Wood was left to bemoan Wanderers' luck as Blues lost a match the winger said they dominated.
Wood said Wycombe were 'all over' Northampton Town on Saturday but failure to take their chances, and some clinical finishing from their opponents, saw Blues beaten 3-1.
The 26-year-old said a second half Cobblers penalty he believes shouldn't have been awarded was the turning point in the game.
Wood told the Bucks Free Press: "We came out second half and before they got the penalty - which wasn't a penalty - I thought we were all over them.
"We had chance after chance - we should have scored. We should have been 2-1 up, they've gone down the other end, got a penalty and we're 2-0 down.
"I thought we were still on top, they've broken us and managed to get a third, which knocked the wind right out of us again.
"We carried on, still attacking, got the penalty and were back in it. Last ten-fifteen minutes we were on top again.
"We didn't take our chances and they took theirs.
"Our luck isn't with us at the moment. If we were at the top we'd be 3-1 or 4-1 up, but we're down the bottom and the luck isn't with us at the minute."
The winger added he was responsible for the game's opening goal after losing possession in midfield.
He said: "The first goal was my fault - I should have cleared my lines, I lost it in the middle. We didn't defend it and they went 1-0 up."

Venezuelan Leader Hugo Chavez Dead at 58
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro says President Hugo Chavez has died, following a two-year battle with cancer.
The Associated Press reports that Vice President Nicolas Maduro is taking over leadership of Hugo Chavez's political movement after the socialist leader's death. Maduro now faces the daunting task of rallying support in a deeply divided country while maintaining unity within his party's ranks. Maduro decidedly lacks the vibrant personality that made Chavez a one-man political phenomenon in Venezuela, but he has the advantage of being Chavez's hand-picked successor.
Venezuela's defense minister is pledging that the military will remain loyal to the constitution in the wake of President Hugo Chavez's death.
Admiral Diego Molero appeared on national television to appeal for "unity, tranquility and understanding" among Venezuelans.
He says troops will safeguard the sovereignty of the country.
Chavez was a former paratroop commander and fiery populist, who waged continual battle for his revolutionary ideas and outsmarted his rivals time and again, defeating a coup attempt, winning re-election three times, and using his country's vast oil wealth to rally Latin American allies. Chavez described himself as a "humble soldier" in the battle for socialism and against U.S. hegemony. He thrived on confrontation with Washington, political opponents at home, or any Latin American president who crossed him.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- A state appeals court has thrown out the conviction of a man accused of trying to entice a 13-year-old girl to be his Facebook friend.
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/136PUAv ) reports that the 9th District Court of Appeals reversed the misdemeanor conviction of John David Goode Jr. Wednesday.
As other courts have done previously, the appellate panel ruled that Ohio's child enticement law is overly broad and unconstitutional.
Goode was accused of trying to speak to the girl while she was walking home from the library where he worked in 2011.
The 37-year-old Goode allegedly asked her name so they could be "secret friends" on Facebook.
Goode's attorney argued that he was acquainted with the girl from his work at the library and did not intend to harm her.

HiI started designing my own websites around 14 years ago using dreamweaver then dreamweaver ultradev then MX, which i am still using although i only use the basic functions, i recently had some sites designed in Wordpress which work very well.My new project is to design around 10 different websites each consisting of around 10-15 pages each site and link them all together to form a powerful collection of sites about my business which is selling scientific equipment.My question is as far as the search engines are concerned for ranking these websites what should i be designing these site in?Should i still be using Dreamweaver MX (i havent the time to learn another new program) or should i have them designed in Wordpress (pay someone to build a template)?
Or should i be using another program and spend the time teaching myself how to use ?Thanks.
The key phrase in your question is: "As far as the search engines are concerned".
The answer is that a search engine neither knows nor cares what tool you used to design your site. All it sees is the finished HTML. Provided your software lets you produce valid HTML, it matters not a jot to the search engine.
Also, Wordpress does not come into this category. Wordpress is not software for designing a site. It's a system for managing your content on an existing site, allowing you to publish, edit and delete pages without having to code the HTML.
Finally, I would question your strategy of creating ten separate sites to promote the same business. I would have thought your customer would find that confusing, to say the least. If you have a good reason to take this approach, I would be interested in hearing more about it.
First try to streamline your requirement and get some info about the tools for it. Photoshop is to create the Mock for your design, Dreamweaver is to create HTML version of it and Wordpress is to manage the content, this are totally different things what we use in web development process. As far as SEO is concern it comes at last once your site and content is ready.
Hi Sgwilks,
If you are friendly with word press. Then it go with wordpress. There are many wordpress SEO plugins which will help you.
I love Wordpress because its more SEO friendly and the plug ins give me more functionality. Wp's user-friendly backend is probably what made it so famous in the first place.
for the web design you can use phtoshop and Dreamweaver MX.
I use wordpress with catalyst dynamik child theme. It works very good and makes designing a site in wordpress much easier.
Ok my answer is use Wordpress, wp is seo friendly, which is your purpose, look for a good theme and you can add the information fast, in fact if I were doing this job wp would be my way to proceed.Just look for a nice jquery plug in for your images and your work will be to add photos and text.
I want to suggest you wordpress.I is very user friendly and according to your requirements you can install plugins here.
Let's just put the brakes on here, keeping in mind that this forum is primarily about web design (in other words, not so much about marketing your product via the Interwebz, etc). This thread is beginning to sound like the old and unlamented SEO forum.
First, reference Mikl's post above. HTML and CSS can be produced by anything that will generate pixels, from Notepad to Dreamweaver. Google doesn't care what produces a site. Wordpress is not for designing sites, it is a blog engine with CMS capabilities. Wordpress mavens create a kajillion templates for use with the program, and that's where the focus on design (and SEO) largely takes place. It is true that some Wordpress sites do well in Google, but I doubt that being a WP site alone has a lot to do with that favorable placement. Strong content, good usability, good outreach, good community-building practices, good participation from users, and so forth put most of those sites onto Google's first pages, I would think, over "it's a WP page, Google slobbers over those."
Next, SEO is a marketing concern as much or more than it is a Web design concern. You can call me a purist or an idealist or an anti-money commie or whatever, but I firmly stand by the principle that if your site is well structured and coded that 90-99% of your SEO concerns are handled in the context of good design based in best coding principles. Trying to get your site to vault to the top of Google over five dozen sites all selling the same widget or whatever is not a primary function of Web design -- though from my experience, I guarantee you that having a well-designed site will go a long way towards propelling you over at least half of your competition solely because of their sites' poor coding and design practices.
Finally, this thread is turning into another "SEO hoodoo" discussion: people making obvious and superficial suggestions in order to Make Big Dollarz With the Quickness Yes Precious via SEO magic. It ain't happening, people. Worry more about your ability to produce strongly designed, strongly coded sites and most of your SEO concerns will become essentially irrelevant. As far as trying to Find the Magic SEO Bullet, it doesn't exist. If you insist on continuing snark hunting for such a thing, more power to you -- the time you waste in that fruitless venture is time the rest of us get in stealing a march on you.
wordpress is very good to use if you just start as web designer
I recommend using Wordpress especially for 10-15 page websites.
WordPress is by far the most popular CMS on the interwebz, so it makes a lot of sense to choose that as your flagship. I've personally used Drupal (another CMS) a lot and I would recommend it but it is a bit more complex and in terms of available plugins I don't think anyone can match WordPress.
More SEO friendly than what?
That's good advice. The only thing I would highly recommend is to focus on relevant, quality content which is useful to human beings, not search engines.
Why? A small, 10-15 page site is ideal for a collection of static Web pages unless the site requires the interactivity of a blog or the data update capabilities of a CMS. Wordpress is not only overkill for many smaller sites, it's just the wrong tool.
Not exactly, using a CMS such as WordPress (or any) will allow the user to have the ability to update their own website more easily along with using plug-ins to fit their needs.
As I said.
I disagree, but, oh well.
It's all good.

JarredWalton - Thursday, October 28, 2004 - link43 - It should be an option somewhere in the ATI Catalyst Control Center. I don't have an X800 of my own to verify this on, not to mention a lack of applications which use this feature. My comment was more tailored towards people that don't read hardware sites. Typical users really don't know much about their hardware or how to adjust advanced settings, so the default options are what they use. Reply
Thera - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 - linkYou say SM2.0b is disabled and consumers don't know how to turn it on. Can you tell us how to enable SM2.0b?
Thank you.

endrebjorsvik - Wednesday, September 15, 2004 - linkWOW!! Very nice article!!
does anyone have all these datas collected into an exel-file or something?? Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, September 12, 2004 - linkCorrection to my last post. KiB and MiB and such are meant to be used for size calculations, and then KB and MB can be used for bandwidth calculations. Now the first paragraph (and my gripe) should be a little more clear if you didn't understand it already. Basically, the *bandwidth* companies (hard drives, and to a lesser extent RAM companies advertising bandwidth) proposed that their incorrect calculations stand and that those who wanted to use the old computer calculations should change.
There are problems, however. HDD and RAM both continue to use both calculations. RAM uses the simplified KB and MB for bandwidth, but the accepted KB and MB (KiB and MiB now) for size. HDD uses the simplified KB and MB for size, but then they use the other KB and MB for sustained transfer rates. So, the proposed change not only failed to address the problem, but the proposers basically continue in the same way as before. Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, September 11, 2004 - link#38 - there are quite a few cards/chips that were only available in very limited quantities.
39 - Actually, that is only partially true. KibiBytes and MibiBytes are a *proposed* change as far as I am aware, and they basically allow the HDD and RAM people to continue with their simplified calculations. I believe that KiB and MiB are meant for bandwidths, however, and not memory sizes. The problem is that MB and KB were in existence long before KiB and MiB were proposed. Early computers with 8 KB of RAM (over 40 years ago) had 8192 bytes of RAM, not 8000 bytes. When you buy a 512 MB DIMM, it is 512 * 1048576 bytes, not 512 * 1000000 bytes.
If a new standard is to be adopted for abbreviations, it is my personal opinion that the parties who did not conform to the old standard are the ones that should change. Since I often look at the low level details of processors and GPUs and such, I do not want to have two different meanings of the same thing, which is what we currently have. Heck, there was even a class action lawsuit against hard drive manufacturers a while back about this "lie". That was the solution: the HDD people basically said, "We're right and in the future 2^10 = KiB, 2^20 = MiB, 2^30 = GiB, etc." Talk about not taking responsibility for your acttions....
It *IS* a minor point for most people, and relative performance is still the same. Basically, this is one of my pet peeves. It would be like saying, "You know what, 5280 feet per mile is inconvenient Even though it has been this way for ages, let's just call it 5000 feet per mile." I have yet to see any hardware manufacturers actually use KiB or MiB as an abbreviation, and software that has been around for decades still thinks that a KB is 1024 bytes and a MB is 1048576. Reply
Bonta - Saturday, September 11, 2004 - linkJarred, you were wrong about the abbreviation MB.
1 MB is 1 mega Byte is (1000*1000) Bytes is 1000000 Bytes is 1 million Bytes.
1 MiB is (1024*1024) Bytes is 1048576 Bytes.
So the vid card makers (and the hard drive makers) actually have it right, and can keep smiling. It is the people that think 1MB is 1048576 Bytes that have it wrong. I can't pronounce or spell 1 MiB correctly, but it is something like 1 mibiBytes. Reply
viggen - Friday, September 10, 2004 - linkNice article but what's up with the 9200 Pro running at 300mhz for core & memory? I dun remember ATI having such a card.
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkOops... I forgot the link from Quon. Here it is:
It's somewhat basic, but at the same time, it covers several things my article left out. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI received a link from Matthew Quon containing a recent presentation on the whole chip fabrication process. It includes details that I omitted, but in general it supports my abbreviated description of the process.
#34: Yes, there are errors that are bound to slip through. This is especially true on older parts. However, as you point out, several of the older chips were offered in various speed grades, which only makes it more difficult. Several of the as-yet unreleased parts may vary, but on the X700 and 6800LE, that's the best info we have right now. The vertex pipelines are *not* tied directly to the pixel quads, so disabling 1/4 or 1/2 of the pixel pipelines does not mean they *have* to disable 1/4 or 1/2 of the vertex pipelines. According to T8000, though, the 6800LE is a 4 vertex pipeline card.
Last, you might want to take note of the fact that I have written precisely 3 articles for Anandtech. I live in Washington, while many of the other AT people are back east. So, don't count on everything being reviewed by every single AT editor - we're only human. :)
(I'm working on some updates and corrections, which will hopefully be posted in the next 24 hours.) Reply
T8000 - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkI think it is very good to put the facts together in such a review.
I did notice three things, however:
1: I have a GF6800LE and it has 4 enabled vertex pipes instead of 5 and comes with a 300/700 gpu/mem clock.
2: Since gpu clock speeds did not increase much, they had to add more features (like pipelines) to increase performance.
3: Gpu defects are less of an issue then cpu defects, since a lot of large gpu's offered the luxory of disabling parts, so that most defective gpu's can still be sold. As far as I know, this feature has never made it into the cpu market. Reply
MODEL 3 - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkA lot of mistakes for a professional hardware review site the size of Anandtech.I will only mention the de facto mistakes since I have doubts for more.I am actually surprised about the amount of mistakes in this article.I mean since I live in Greece (not the center of the world in 3d technology or hardware market) I always thought that the editors in the best hardware review sites of the world (like Anandtech) have at least the basic knowledge related to technology and they make research and doublecheck if their articles are correct.I mean they get paid, right?I mean if I can find so easily their mistakes (I have no technology related degree although I was purchase and product manager in the best Greek IT companies) they must be doing something very,very wrong indeed.Now onto the mistakes:
X700 6 vertex pipelines: Actually this is no mistake since I have no information about this new part but it seems strange if X700 will have the same (6) vertex pipelines as X800XT.I guess more logical would be half as many (3) (like 6800Ultra-6600GT) or double as many as X600 (4).We will see.
Radeon VE 183/183: The actual speed was 166/166SDR 128bit for ATI parts and as low as 143/143 for 3rd party bulk part
Radeon 7000 PCI 166/333 The actual speed was 166/166SDR 128bit for ATI parts and as low as 143/143 for 3rd party bulk part (note that anandtech suggests 166DDR and the correct is 166 SDR)
Radeon 7000 AGP 183/366 32/64(MB): The actual speed was 166/166SDR for ATI parts and as low as 143/143 for 3rd party bulk part (note that anandtech suggests 166DDR and the correct is 166 SDR) also at launch and for a whole year (if ever) it didn't exist a 64MB part
Radeon 7200 64bit ram bus: The 7200 was exactly the same as Radeon DDR so the ram bus width was 128bit
ATI has unofficial DX 9 with SM2.0b support: Actually ATI has official DX 9.0b support and Microsoft certified this "in between" version of DX9.When they enable their 2.0b feutures they don't fail WHQL compliance since 2.0b is official microsoft version (get it?).Feutures like 3Dc normal map compression are activated only in open GL mode but 3Dc compression is not part of DX9.0b.
GF 6800LE with 8 pixel pipelines has according to Anandtech 5 vertex pipelines: Actually this is no mistake since I have no information about this part but since 6800GT/Ultra is built with four (4) quads with 4 pixel pipelines each isn't more logical the 6800LE with half the quads to have half the pixel (8) AND half (3) the vertex pipelines?
GFFX 5700 3 vertex pipelines: GFFX 5700 has half the number of pixel AND vertex pipelines of 5900 so if you convert the vertex array of 5900 into 3 vertex pipes (which is correct) then the 5700 would have 1,5
GF4 4600 300/600: The actual speed is 300/325DDR 128bit
GF2MX 175/333: The actual speed is 175/166SDR 128bit
GF4MX series 0.5 vertex shader: Actually the GF4MX series had twice the amount of vertex shaders of GF2 so the correct number of vertex shader is 1
According to Anandtech, the GF3 cards only show a slight performance increase over the GF2 Ultra, and that is only in more recent games : Actually GF3 (Q1 01) was based in 0,18 nm technology and the yields was extremely low.In reality GF3 parts in acceptable quantity came in Q3 01 with GF3Ti series 0,15 nm technology .If you check the performance in open GL games at and after Q3 01 and DX8 games at and after Q3 02 you will clearly see GF3 to have double the performance of GF2 clock for clock (GF3Ti500 Vs GF2Ultra)
Now, the rest of the article is not bad and I also appreciate the effort.
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 - linkSorry, ViRGE - I actually took your suggestion to heart and updated page 3 initially, since you are right about it being more common. However, I forgot to modify the DX7 performance charts. There are probably quite a few other corrections that should be made as well.... Reply
ViRGE - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkJared, like I said, you're technically right about how the GF2 MX could be outfitted with either 128bit SDR or 64bit SDR/DDR, but you said it yourself that the cards were mostly 128bit SDR. Obviously any change won't have an impact, but in my humble opinion, it would be best to change the GF2 MX to better represent what historically happened, so that if someone uses this chart as a reference for a GF2 MX, they're more likely to be getting the "right" data.

Seriously, though, point them out (other than omissions, as making a complete list of every single variation of every single card would be difficult at best) and we will be happy to correct them provided that they actually are incorrect. And if you really want a card included, send the details of the card, and we can add that as well.
Regarding the ATI AIW (All In Wonder, for those that don't know) cards, they often varied from the clock and RAM speeds of the standard chips. Later models may have faster RAM or core speeds, while earlier models often had slower RAM and core speeds. Reply
blckgrffn - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkQuestar - if you don't like it, leave. The article clearly stated its bounds and did a great job. My $.02 - the 7500 AIW is 64 meg DDR only, unsure of the speed however. Do you want me to check that out? Reply
mikecel79 - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - link#22 The Geforce256 was released in October of 1999 so this is roughly the last 5 years of chips from ATI and Nvidia. If it were to include all other manufacturers it would be quite a bit longer.
How about examples of this article being "laden or errors" instead of just stating it. Reply
Neo_Geo - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkNice article.... BUT....
I was hoping the Quadro and FireGL lines would be included in the comparison.
As someone who uses BOTH proffessional (ProE and SolidWorks) AND consumer level (games) software, I am interested in purchasing a Quadro or FireGL, but I want to compare these to their consumer level equivalent (as each pro level card generally has an equivalent consumer level card with some minor, but important, otomizations).
Thanks Reply
mikecel79 - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 - linkThe AIW 9600 Pros have faster memory than the normal 9600 Pro. 9600 Pro memory runs at 650Mhz vs the 600 on a normal 9600.

#15 - Good God, Jim - I'm a CS graduate, not a graphics artist! (/Star Trek) Heheh. Actually, you would be surprised at how difficult it can be to get everything to fit. Maximum width of the tables is 550 pixels. Slanting the graphics would cause issues making it all fit. I suppose putting in vertical borders might help keep things straight, but I don't like the look of charts with vertical separators.

JarredWalton - Monday, September 06, 2004 - linkVirge... I could be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure some of the older chips could actually be configured with either SDR or DDR RAM, and I think the GF2 MX series was one of those. The problem was that you could either have 64-bit DDR or 128-bit SDR, so it really didn't matter which you chose. But yeah, there were definitely 128-bit SDR versions of the cards available, and they were generally more common than the 64-bit DDR parts I listed. The MX200, of course, was 64-bit SDR, so it got the worst of both worlds. Heh.
I think the early Radeons had some similar options, and I'm positive that such options existed in the mobile arena. Overall, though, it's a minor gripe (I hope). Reply
ViRGE - Monday, September 06, 2004 - linkJarred, without getting too nit-picky, your data for the GeForce 2 MX is technically wrong; the MX used a 128bit/SDR configuration for the most part, not a 64bit/DDR configuration(http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=1266&p... Note that this isn't true for any of the other MX's(both the 200 and 400 widely used 64bit/DDR), and the difference between the two configurations has no effect on the math for memory bandwidth, but it's still worth noting.

Yeh, Nvidia learned it's lesson, last gen, with the 0.13 micron new at the time process delaying the introduction of the NV30, thy learned to play it safe using a tried and tested process is a good idea for such high complexity chips initially, though they of course plan to shift these chips to the 110nm process when the process matures enough, possibly on the NV48 and R480 hopefully allowing higher clocks in the process:D, maybe not for R480 unless low-k is ready for 110nm by that time.
It does make more sense to use the newer manufacturing process to help save costs on the volume shipping GPU, as the cost savings will beaccumulated much better in the mainstream and value arena's thanks to sheer volume.
We also see this with Intel, when Intel yields on the 90nm were only so so, they introduced Prescott up to 3.2GHZ in quanitity, but introduced their Pentium 4 3.4GHZ on the northwood core on 0.13 micron. Though over time Intel is making all efforts to transfer everything to 90nm, with Prescott and Prescott 2M w/1066FSB for EE Edition.
JarredWalton - Monday, September 06, 2004 - link8 - Intel does this as well, testing a new process on their non-flagship parts. For example, after the launch of the P4, Intel piloted their 130 nm copper technology with the Tualatin CPU before releasing the Northwood. It probably has something to do with the amount of extra time a more complex design takes to test and verify. Reply
stephenbrooks - Monday, September 06, 2004 - linkInteresting how on the die sizes chart, I notice they're phasing in the 110nm process only for their mid-range-ish cards and sticking to the tried and tested 130nm for the high-end one. I suppose you can't blame them for that really, given it's their flagship product and all, but it could contribute to the huge die sizes. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 06, 2004 - linkThank, AtaStrumf - any errors in the numbers are ColdPower's fault. Heheheh. Really, he already caught a bunch of small mistakes, so hopefully the number of remaining errors is very small.
For what it's worth, there are various versions of some of the chips that have different clock speeds and RAM speeds from what is listed. The models in the chart should reflect the most common configurations, though.
BTW, the article text is now tweaked somewhat on the ATI and NVIDIA overview pages. Derek Wilson provided some additional insight on the subject of AA and AF that clarified things a little. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, September 06, 2004 - linkArgon was the name for the .25 micron K7, while Pluto and Orion were .18 micron.
#2 and #4: I realize you're kidding, but in all seriousness we did think about including other architectures. With the broken features on some of the more recent cards and the lack of T&L on 3dfx and older cards, we just decided to stick with the two major players.

NEW ORLEANS — The day Breanna Stewart scratched her signature on a National Letter of Intent, the nation's consensus top prospect chose a locale that would have been loathed by the press.
Instead of setting up in the lobby of Cicero High School, the native of Syracuse, N.Y., climbed into her Honda CR-V and drove downtown in November 2011. On the hood of her SUV, she signed. Her father, Brian, whisked the letter inside and ran it through a fax machine.
No pomp, but it fulfilled the prompt of Connecticut assistant coach Chris Dailey to get her hands on a letter affirming a recruiting class comprised of three prospects in the nation's top 10.
Quiet, simple and low-key. Yet the oft-told story is a reflection of the 6-foot-4 stretch forward whose pedigree might be the most burnished since the juggernaut Huskies snared Maya Moore in 2007.
"It really was the easiest thing to do," Stewart said.
If only Stewart's debut season in Storrs had been so effortless as her deft hook shot in the middle of the lane.
Mimicking Moore, Stewart's polished inside-out repertoire netted a freshman scoring record, and she was poised to emerge as the face of the sport's top program — until bruising skirmishes in December against Maryland, Penn State and Stanford shushed hype for a sinewy prodigy in a rut for two months.
At a program oddly lacking star power this season, the implication wasn't so much whispered as screamed: The veteran of three cycles of international play for USA Basketball didn't live up to her lofty billing.
"Obviously, when you decided to come to Connecticut, you put yourself under a microscope and spotlight automatically," Stewart said Saturday. "No matter what, maybe it was looked at more. I don't think I helped it, because I wasn't playing well. For me, it was still something that I didn't like."
Oddly, the calendar turning to March has revived Stewart and the top-seeded Huskies (33-4), who are trying to avenge three losses this season to fellow top seed and Big East rival Notre Dame (34-1) at 8 p.m. Sunday in the Women's Final Four at the New Orleans Arena.
In the past month, Stewart paced UConn with 17.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in the Big East Conference tournament, tying former Huskies great Diana Taurasi's scoring record in the process.
After sitting out the first round of the NCAA tournament with a left calf strain, she has posted the same scoring average, including 21 points in an 83-53 Elite Eight rout of Kentucky on Monday.
"There's obviously been some bumps in the road, but as of right now, I'm really happy and confident about how I'm playing," Stewart said. "I would have liked it to be earlier in the season. That would have been nice, but there are worse times than the NCAA tournament."
The pendulum has swung back to its earlier point in November and December, when injuries to guards Bria Hartley and Caroline Doty led coach Geno Auriemma to go with a bigger rotation and insert Stewart as a starter. She affirmed the notion by averaging 16.8 points in her first 10 games, setting a new benchmark with 27 against Hartford on Dec. 22.
"Let me guess," Auriemma said afterward. "She broke Maya's record."
On Saturday, the typically sarcastic and snarky Auriemma hinted at cynicism that Stewart arrived fully developed to the seven-time national champions.
"For Brianna, everything she did that was really good, she was the greatest player to ever come to Connecticut," he said. "Then everything she did that was bad, well, she's not as good as everyone said she was."
If anything, it spoke to a void since Moore left in 2011, a lineage that starts with Rebecca Lobo and runs through Jennifer Rizzotti, Kara Wolters, Nykesha Sales, Sue Bird, Taurasi and Tina Charles. Granted, Auriemma emphasized the program doesn't recruit with luster in mind.
"We don't build our program around one person, no matter who it is," he said. "It was always in the context of, 'We'll let them decide, each player, how big their role is going to be.' And because of how big their personalities were, they just became superstars."
Pardon Auriemma, but Stewart's résumé spoke to bona fides and a game that led analysts to compare it to NBA great George Gervin.
At Cicero, she notched 2,367 points to go with 1,389 rebounds, including a triple-double in the state final her senior year to cap an 84-13 span over four seasons.
Internationally, she represented the USA on its Under-18, Under-17 and Under-16 teams in the FIBA World and Americas championship, traveling to compete in Chile and Puerto Rico. In 2011, she was the lone high school player on the Pan-American Games roster.
Scouting reports lauded her size, 71-inch wing span, versatility and experience. So when her parents dropped her off in Storrs this past August, the transition, at least psychologically, should have been of relative ease.
"You can try, but there's a difference between psychologically trying to prepare yourself and actually doing it," Stewart said. "Obviously coming from high school to college, there's going to be some adjustment. It's just trying to make the best transition you can."
But over the last 18 regular-season games ahead of the Big East tournament, she averaged a mere 9.8 points, shot less than 50 percent and bottomed out in a loss to Baylor when she played seven scoreless minutes. Meanwhile, the press corps asked often for a diagnosis.
"It was a lot of frustration because I don't like seeing myself not play well," Stewart said. "I don't think anyone enjoys not playing well. I was just trying as hard as I could to get myself out of whatever place I was in. It took a little bit, but I'll definitely make the adjustments."
A demure personality might also have been mistaken for angst or fretfulness. Quiet and reserved, Stewart is described as "goofy" by teammates, prone to pulling pranks with roommate and fellow blue-chip recruit Moriah Jackson and targeting freshman Morgan Tuck with Nerf guns or hiding fruit-drink packs in her bed. Talent aside, she has fit into the veteran-centric culture of Auriemma's program, willingly stocking refrigerators with drinks for upperclassmen and going last in the chow line.
While the program is comprised of elite players competing for minutes, there seems to be a nurturing component around a player fondly dubbed "Stewie."On Friday, the team taped "teases" for ESPN, with Stewart going first. With fake smoke pouring into the background of a faux-Bourbon Street set, senior point guard Kelly Faris and senior center Stefanie Dolson clapped mockingly. Yet when the exercise wrapped, Doty stepped forward. She raised two palms for high-fives.
"That's a way, Stewie," Dolson said.
Auriemma, meanwhile, professed confusion more than frustration. Practically, the physical nature of Big East play created a problematic cycle: Unable to finish at the rim, she settled for jumpers. If those didn't fall, she was hesitant to attack the rim for rebounds and putbacks.
"When you shy away from physicality, you wind up being a finesse player," Stewart said. "It takes away from my game, just because it's about being versatile inside and out. When you settle for those jump shots, it's really limiting myself."
That's changed recently, with Stewart being more aggressive and seeking out second-chance points. Her svelte frame needs time in the weight room, but for now she can snare 50-50 balls, work on her mid-range game and try to attack slower players off the dribble.
A day later in the cramped concrete-walled confines of the team's locker room, Dolson repeated the company line: You don't get to play for Connecticut if you can't endure the competition.
"She's handled it well," Dolson said. "She's just done a great job of pushing through obstacles and getting to the point where she plays like she knows she's capable. That's playing with confidence, and I'm very proud."

Bandwidth Options - What Does 64k Mean?
VPR offers our live streams in several different bit rates. Generally speaking, streams with higher bit rates produce better sound than streams with lower rates. This bit rate is measured in kilobits per second (kbps), abbreviated to "k." While higher bit rate streams sound better, they also require higher bandwidth internet connections.
Listeners with high-speed internet on a T1 network or cable broadband can usually listen to the higher bit rate streams, such as 64k, 96k and 128k. Listeners on DSL and satellite should start with the 64k stream options. If you have a dial-up connection you may be limited to the 24k streams.
Please note that bandwidth varies for each user and network and can vary depending on time and conditions. Try streams of different bit rates to find the best listening experience for your device and connection. If you experience poor performance with a stream that is usually reliable, try the lower option temporarily. If you have questions, contact us.
What Are MP3, AAC and Flash?
MP3 is the most common encoding for digital audio and is supported across the greatest number of browsers and devices. AAC+ is audio coding that delivers higher quality audio at lower bandwidth. Flash is a common internet software platform that we use to deliver the AAC+ streams on devices that don't natively support that format. AAC+ currently works in Safari and Chrome but not all other browsers, while Flash plays in most desktop browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.) but not all mobile devices. But if you can listen to AAC or Flash - via the VPR Audio Player, your browser, or some other player - you may notice a richer sound at lower bit rates, especially with music.

My Life Story
A Project of Intergenerational Communication and Interaction
by Alan Tilson
About the Book
The idea for the 'My Life Story' Project evolved over a number of years as researchers at Deakin University explored the lives of older adults in care, and the limited opportunities that seemed to exist for them to interact with and influence younger generations. Such generative activities are integral for the mental health and wellbeing of older adults.
The researchers have also worked closely with adolescents on projects aimed at targeting depression and anxiety that so often occurs as this age group struggles to find their identity. Adolescence is primarily a time of self focus, with little attention given to the needs of others yet the benefits of giving may well help them to distil aspects of their identity.
Giving, as such, is a complex construct with the boundaries between giving and receiving being somewhat blurred. Those perceived as givers often report being the recipients as they experience a sense of purpose through their contribution. The modern social structure often makes intergenerational interaction difficult and sometimes impossible, leaving our older adults isolated and lonely and the younger generations deprived of social and historical connectedness through the stories that reflect wisdom and experience.
The 'My Life Story' project was aimed at bringing these two generations together.
Through funding from Deakin University the researchers were able to engage Newhaven College and Melaleuca Lodge, both of whom showed interest and excitement in the project. Over the preceding weeks a relationship was established between the secondary college and the aged care facility. Training sessions allowed the younger and older adults to explore what the project meant for them and some of the challenges they could foresee. Together, with members of the research team, the younger adults reflected on what getting older means, sharing some of their experiences of grandparents or their lack of.
More specifically, they thought about how they might help the older adults they were about to meet to tell their stories. The older adults too, thought about what it was like to be young – they reflected on what they saw as differences today from when they were young and how they might help the younger people learn about their lives
Over the following eight weeks, students from Newhaven College visited the project participants at Melaleuca Lodge and together they worked on the life stories. They talked, laughed and shared experiences. Some things about the older adults' lives as younger people were hard for the students to believe. Some things seemed exciting and other things daunting. Some things seemed just plain boring. However, the stories flowed and understanding grew. The pages that follow give a brief overview of the study, it's aims, method and findings.
You will also hear a little about the researchers who were involved, the funding body, and the project partners. The photographic records are of the participants and some of the interactions that took place between them – though a camera can only capture so much.

Middle Village was named as such because it was the middle point from Williamsburgh to Jamaica on the Williamsburgh and Jamaica Turnpike Road, which is now Metropolitan Avenue. The name also has its origin in that it was the midpoint for farmers from eastern Queens who traveled to the ferry at Newtown Creek. Another origin of the name comes about because it is an anglicization of Middleburgh, Newtown's original name.
The Middle Village Community Library serves the area bounded by Woodhaven Blvd. to the east, Eliot Ave. to the north, 69th St. to the west, and the LIRR tracks and Cooper Ave. to the south. Middle Village was founded in 1850. It grew from farmland to a prosperous community after the New York City Council announced that no further burials would be permitted on Manhattan Island after May 1, 1851. The farmland was purchased by several church groups for cemeteries. Florists, monument makers, and taverns flourished as business and industry expanded.
The area thrived until the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 when people found it easier to travel more rapidly. By 1902, the population reached 1,300. The community continued to grow steadily. By the 1940s, much of the farmland was developed with residential homes.
Until recently, the working-class neighborhood of Middle Village was predominantly Italian. Immigrants from Latin America, Poland, Soviet Union, and Ireland have been moving in, attracted by reasonable rents and central location in New York City.
Middle Village is made up largely of private and two-family homes. There are some garden apartments, though no real large apartment buildings like those found in nearby communities like Forest Hills or Rego Park and along Woodhaven Blvd. New construction, though, has been taking place in the area with the building of a number of multiple-dwelling homes on the blocks around Metropolitan Avenue and near Juniper Valley Park, a noteworthy local attraction and neighborhood favorite location.

The Library was opened in a shoe store in 1911. Later it moved to a seed store for eight years and after that it was located in several different stores. In April 1967, the branch was re-opened in a modern rental building on Metropolitan Avenue, a location that, after a number of years of being unoccupied, re-opened as a 99 cent store. Then, in July 1990, the branch moved to a new rental location a few blocks west, at 72-31 Metropolitan Avenue. This location, the present Community Library, occupies part of the street-level floor of the condominium building at the same 72-31 Metropolitan Avenue address, with the Library's entrance located on the building's western side, while the branch's meeting room is situated on the eastern side. Due to this unique location, from its outside appearance the branch appears quite small. But the reality is that inside, the branch is really a full-sized library facility with regular adult and juvenile rooms, programming for all age levels and, in the spring of 2005, the branch was the host for two art exhibitions.

Crispy. Don't you love the sound of that word? It just screams, "Dip me in something and eat me now!" To get us to this delicious place, I'm going to take it as common knowledge that we all are familiar with what chefs call "the breading procedure": dredging a piece of meat, fish or vegetable in flour, egg and then breadcrumbs to ready it for future crispifying.
There are a lot of different theories out there about how to make a cutlet perfectly crispy. Is it all about the "double breading"? Should they be baked or fried? Is there magic infused in those panko-style breadcrumbs?
I don't know much about magic breadcrumbs, but what I am here to tell you is what works for me without flaw each and every time. My secret is in the egg. Adding a couple of tablespoons of flour to the beaten eggs I mentioned earlier thickens them into a paste that doesn't just adhere, it glues all of that delicious breading to your soon-to-be dinner. That one little tweak, I promise you, will guarantee you the utmost in crispy every time.
Try it out using the recipe below and then prepare to work your crispy magic on all other kinds of foods.
Crispy Tuscan Cutlets
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
2 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
2 large eggs
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Butterfly the pork chops open and then cut them into two pieces, making four cutlets total. Lay the cutlets one at a time in a plastic storage bag or between two sheets of plastic wrap; pound each cutlet out with a meat mallet or small skillet to a thickness of about 1/4-inch. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper and set aside.
Set up three dishes on a work surface. Spread 1/4 cup flour in the first, beat together the eggs and remaining flour in the second, and toss together the breadcrumbs and cheese in the third.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with enough oil to make a thin, even layer.
Bread the cutlets by first dredging them in the flour, then coating them evenly in the egg paste and finally covering them in the breadcrumbs. Cook the cutlets in the skillet until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (if needed, cook the cutlets in batches, holding finished cutlets on a cooling screen set over a baking sheet). Serve the cutlets warm with wedges of lemon.
The beauty of a cutlet is how well is stretches two chops into four portions. If you've got a house of hungry eaters, however, double up on the meat because these are going to fly off their plates!
These rich, cheesy cutlets do well with a tame and simply dressed side salad to round them out as dinner.

Johnny Trigg allowed the "BBQ Pitmasters" filming cameras to capture some of his process and recipe for cooking award winning ribs. I studied the footage of Trigg from the show to pick up as many tips as I could. Here is what I discovered.
BTW – I don't think that this is really shigging. Shigging is the act of entering one's cook site with the intent to steal their processes. This is just a summary of the info Johnny Trigg shared on the show .
According to Trigg, the first thing to know about BBQ is that it is redneck cooking.
When it comes to ribs, spares have more meat and make a better presentation. The meat is very important. Trigg looks for ribs with a lot of fat. Lean ribs are tough and flavorless. There is a lot of marbling in the ribs he chooses. He cooks St. Louis cut ribs. He removes the membrane and trims the back of the ribs really close to the bone..
Trigg uses a mystery rub he keeps in a brown unlabeled dispenser. BTW - He uses Lawry's seasoning salt on Pork butts. Trigg mentioned that he doesn't make his own rubs. He buys them. He didn't specify which ones he uses.
He also uses coarsely ground black pepper.
Trigg cooks the ribs meat side up at around 275 degrees. He sprays ribs with apple juice during the cooking process.
He never specified the amount of time he cooks them before foiling them but it's probably between 2 and 3 hours.
Trigg foils his ribs. He makes a mixture containing at least the following: honey, brown sugar, Tiger Sauce, onion powder, and Squeeze Parkay.
First, he puts the ingredients on the foil.
Here, you can see the Tiger Sauce in the background.
Here is the honey, handful of brown sugar, onion powder, Parkay, and Tiger Sauce mixture.
Trigg places the ribs in the mixture meat side down.
He then puts the same ingredients on the back of the ribs.
Here is the Squeeze Parkay going on.
More brown sugar.
More honey.
Onion powder.
He wraps in foil, presumably two layers.
Puts the ribs back in the smoker meat side down.
Trigg glazes his ribs. See the saucepan in the pic? The only thing Trigg was cooking that day was ribs. Paul, who claims to cook "Trigg Ribs" is seen glazing his ribs too.
Before Paul was trained by Trigg, this is what he says he was told Trigg uses for his glaze.
Here is Paul, after being trained by Trigg, doctoring up the glaze.
When the glaze sets and the ribs have reached the desired tenderness, he takes them in to be sliced. BTW - Trigg uses a toothpick to check for tenderness.
He uses an electric knife to cut them.
He presents them on a bed of lettuce.
What Trigg didn't share was his skill. If you try this and don't have the same results Trigg has had, don't be surprised.

PROUD grandson Russell Davies has provided the first missing name from an eroded war memorial and promised to help find the rest before it is renovated and resited.
His mother Clara helped ensure the obelisk was moved to the Cathedral grounds from St Michael and All Angels' Church, in Bastwell, when that building was demolished in the 1980s.
Since then many names on the stonework recording those who lost their lives in the First World War have worn away.
Council regeneration chief Maureen Bateson wants to restore them before the memorial is given a new home.
Mr Davies, 70, has passed on details of his grandad John Harrison from Palm Street, who was killed aged 26 in the Battle of the Somme on Wednesday October 18 1916.
A private in the First Battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment, John was an engineer and weaver when he died in battle He said: "I am very proud of my grandfather and my mother who got the memorial moved.
"I want to make sure my grandad John's name is restored when it is moved to its new home.
"I have seen his name on the war memorial in Thiepval in France and want it back where it should be in Blackburn."
Mr Davies, from Willis Road, Feniscliffe, has been searching to find the original list of names on the roll of honour but so far without success.
He said: "I am happy to continue my search and would like anyone who knows names to contact me or the council.
"They were so brave and deserve to be remembered properly in Blackburn.
"I am delighted the council is restoring the memorial and giving it pride of place n in the new Cathedral Quarter.
"My late mother would be too.
"The whole family is proud of John and my brother Ian still uses some of his tools in his job as a mechanic."
The memorial will be moved from its current site to ensure it does not get damaged during phase one of the £33m Cathedral Quarter Development, and repositioned when work finishes in Autumn 2015.
Council regeneration boss Maureen Bateson said: "I am delighted that Mr Davies has given us one of the missing names from the memorial and is offering to help find the rest.
"We want anyone who knows any of the missing names or the whereabouts of the original list to contact us."
