Hogs' tough style mirrors Gators

Because there are so many differences in SEC and Big Ten football, many assumed that making this move from Wisconsin to Arkansas would force Bret Bielema to change, make him alter his coaching style and philosophy to fit the different landscape.
Arkansas (3-2, 0-1 SEC) at No. 18 Florida (3-1, 2-0), 7 p.m.
But if the SEC has changed Bielema, it certainly is not evident when you look at his team. The Razorbacks resemble one of his Wisconsin teams — big, tough and physical, a downhill running team that likes to control the line of scrimmage and keep defenses off balance with a play-action passing attack.
"You see his imprint on this football team from a physicality standpoint," UF coach Will Muschamp said. "They play good defense. They do a good job on the offensive line as far as moving people. I just think he does an outstanding job."
Muschamp is obviously impressed.The fact Arkansas and Florida are so similar may have something to do with it.
The teams' playing styles seem to mirror one another. The same probably could be said of the two head coaches in terms of philosophy.
Like the Hogs, the Gators pride themselves on their toughness, their strong running game and winning both lines of scrimmage.
Saturday's SEC game in The Swamp may end up resembling one of those Big Ten brawls we see on television.
The Gators are bracing for it.
"It's going to be a real physical game," said UF quarterback Tyler Murphy, who is making only his second career start. "They're a real physical team. Their coach coming from Wisconsin, we know a little bit about his past history. They were a very physical Big Ten team.
"Arkansas is going to be physical, and we're going to have to be able to match that and be more physical than they are. They're a good team. They were a few plays away from beating Texas A&M. We're going to have to have a good week of practice and be mentally focused."
And physically ready, ready for a slugfest, especially on both lines of scrimmage.
"We're a physical team as well," UF linebacker Michael Taylor said. "We go against this, against physical opponents, every day in practice. We bang in practice. We bang all the way up until the week of the game.
"It's not going to be anything we're not prepared for."
Taylor said this is the kind of physical game that really gets Muschamp fired up.
"He'll probably be jumping around a lot, running up and down the sideline, having that face everyone's seen," Taylor said. "You'll probably see that a lot."
Taylor and his defensive teammates might recognize a lot of the stuff the Razorbacks throw at them Saturday. The Arkansas offense has many similarities to Florida's, UF defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said.
"There are definitely similarities," Durkin said. "They want to run the ball. We want to run the ball. There are a lot of shifts and motions. They try and formation you a lot. Our offense does that. There are definitely comparisons.
"They've got their set of run plays and they're going to come downhill and run it and make you stop it. So far this year, no one has. That speaks for itself. It's a challenge for all of us. It's 11 guys out there who have to be ready to tackle, take on blocks and have their eyes in the right place."
Durkin said this will be the most physical offensive line the Gators have faced this season.
"Absolutely," he said. "I think what they do offensively, that's their style. The guys they have fit that."
The Razorbacks also have a tailback who obviously fits their downhill running style — true freshman Alex Collins, who has rushed for more than 100 yards in four of five games and is averaging 119.4 yards rushing a game.
"Their style, what they do on offense, really fits him well," Durkin said. "He's the type of back they want in that offense. It's a big challenge for us."
The Gators are familiar with Collins, who is from South Plantation. UF was a serious player in his recruitment even though the Gators already had commitments from two other tailbacks — Kelvin Taylor and Adam Lane.
"He's an outstanding young man, first of all," Muschamp said. "He's a heck of a football player, but he's a great young man. We recruited him. At the time, we had two running backs committed.
"He's an outstanding player. Alex is second in our league in rushing. That tells you a lot about his maturity and being able to step in and contribute that quickly."
Collins is a fast and physical back who will be running behind a physical offensive line.
The Gators know what's coming their way.
"We've just got to prepare ourselves. We're a physical team, too," sophomore defensive end/outside linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. said. "That's how we prepare in practice, and I know 'Champ, he emphasizes that with us, too. We're a physical team. It's nothing we're not used to, so we'll be ready."

AS the cold weather continues and seasonal illnesses like flu and tummy bugs begin to circulate, pressure on the NHS increases.
The NHS in Worcestershire is highlighting the telephone health service that is available in Worcestershire to help ensure people are going to the right services first time.
If people are generally fit and healthy, in most instances they will not need A&E or 999 and accessing more suitable healthcare could result in being seen quicker.
Health bosses are asking that A&E and 999 is only used for emergencies such as heavy blood loss, chest pains, loss of consciousness or broken bones.
Ruth Davoll, urgent care lead for South Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "We ask the public to think before they go to A&E or call 999. These services need to be free to deal with real emergencies and should only be used in genuine emergency situations.
"Telephone services such as NHS Direct are designed to offer answers, reassurance, advice and support you need as well as being convenient and open around the clock."
NHS Direct makes it easy for people to access healthcare advice when they need medical help fast, but it's not a life-threatening situation. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide medical advice, put people in touch with the right service, arrange to have them seen by a doctor or call them an ambulance.
The service is manned by trained call handlers with nurses on site to offer support if needed. Callers' symptoms are assessed and they are given the healthcare advice they need or are directed immediately to the right service.

Two pieces of legislation in the early 1970's - the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act - have contributed mightily to the quality of the water we drink, fish and swim in today. Prior to enactment of these landmark laws, as much as two-thirds of the surface water in the United States was considered polluted. Our waters are noticeably cleaner and less polluted. Today, we can fish and swim in virtually all our streams, rivers, lakes and oceans.
Water resources are central to the region's aesthetics, economics and health. There are some 60,000 miles of rivers and streams in Region 2, including waterways of major importance such as the Hudson and Passaic Rivers, the ports of San Juan and New York/New Jersey Harbor, Lake Ontario, Niagara Falls and the St. Lawrence Seaway. New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have a combined 685 miles of ocean coastline as well. Clean and safe water is essential to the health and livelihood of the region's 31 million residents.
Wastewater Treatment: Includes issues relating to stormwater, pretreatment of industrial wastewater, animal feeding operations (AFOs), and combined sewer overflows (CSOs).
CSOs contain a variety of pollutants that are very harmful to human health and the environment. These pollutants are the result of untreated sewage and industrial and commercial wastes, and include pollutants picked up by storm water runoff – which can include toxic pollutants originating from toxic waste sites. EPA conducted sampling [PDF 3.4 MB, 21 pp] at several CSO sites in Region 2 and confirmed the health and environmental risks posed by CSOs in Region 2.
There are a total of 104 CSO permit holders in Region 2. There are 76 CSO permit holders [PDF 58 KB, 3 pp] in New York State with 937 permitted outfalls. Several of the NY permit holders have now eliminated their CSOs or have been reclassified. In New Jersey there are 25 active CSO permit holders [PDF 17 KB, 1 pp] with 217 permitted outfalls. There is one CSO permit holder located on tribal lands (Salamanca) and currently one permit holder in Puerto Rico (Puerto Nuevo).
EPA Region 2 is actively working with our partners at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection control or eliminate CSOs in Region 2.
Additional information on CSOs in EPA Region 2 is available in the report Protecting the Public's Water: Report on Combined Sewer Overflows [PDF 1.5 MB, 20 pp] (Updated 2013)
Watershed Protection: We all live in a watershed - the area that drains to a common waterway. Many water quality and ecosystem problems are best solved at the watershed level rather than at the individual water body or discharger level. Due to our geographic diversity, Region 2 has a wide variety of waterbodies and a number of programs to protect its estuaries, lakes, rivers and streams, wetlands and oceans more efficiently and effectively.

Harpers magazine has published a copy of the site plan for Google's data center in The Dalles, Oregon, which has been the subject of great interest since it was featured on the front page of The New York Times in June 2006. The facility has become a symbol for the data center industry's growing need for massive amounts of electric power. The title of the Harpers piece ("Keyword: Evil") is a good indicator of the article's point of view. There's been some discussion of the math in the story. The article assumes a power density of 500 watts per square foot to arrive at a total projected energy use for the facility of 103 megawatts of electricity. It appears this estimate is based on the total square footage of the data center structures (listed as three 68,680 square foot buildings) rather than technical space, so this number is probably on the high end.
Google watchers may also be interested in an interview with the company's "green energy czar" Bill Weihl in the environmental journal Grist. Weihl discusses Google's efforts to develop affordable renewable energy generation to support the company's data center infrastructure.

UPDATE, 6:54 p.m.: This will be your in-game thread tonight as John Maine (10-7, 3.82) opposes Brandon Backe (7-12, 5.62).
Backe has struggled vs. the Mets in his career. Carlos Beltran is 5 for 12, and Carlos Delgado is 3 for 10 with a home run and three walks.
Overall, Backe is 1-2 with a 5.18 ERA in six career outings, four of which are starts.
John Maine, on the other hand, is 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in three career starts against the Astros. He's struck out 16 and walked just four.
UPDATE, 7:13 p.m.: Who said John Maine hadn't been sharp lately? Nine pitches in the first, two strikeouts, 91 MPH on the gun…not bad.
UPDATE, 7:54 p.m.: Things turned ugly for Maine and the Mets here in the third. Ironically, despite all the talk about his velocity dipping it doesn't appear to be the issue. He's been in the 90s all game. On the brushback to Miguel Tejada he actually hit 94 on the gun, and was at 93 earlier in the at-bat.
I dunno. Maybe it's just a poor start.
Before the game Jerry Manuel told Dan Warthen, "I want your eagle-eye on him tonight." Warthen's eagle-eye can't like what he's seen: five runs, five hits and 60 pitches in three innings.
UPDATE, 8:13 p.m.: Bring back Castillo! Reyes is 0 for 2 and 2 for his last 12 with no walks.
Seriously though, I know the club is playing well, but Castillo may be the best option at this point. Easley's last extra-base hit was on Aug. 2, and Reyes hasn't had one since July 25. The idea that Castillo won't provide adequate pop is absurd. These guys haven't either.
UPDATE, 8:19 p.m.: Hey, maybe chemistry accounts for something. Why? Get a load of this:
Mets with Castillo — 28-37
Mets without Castillo — 44-20
UPDATE, 8:25 p.m.: Rejoice Met fans! Daniel Murphy's walk was the Mets first baserunner in their last 35 batters. Roy Oswalt retired the last 20 hitters he faced yesterday and Brandon Backe retired the first 14 tonight. Ugly.
The Mets last hit was Brian Schneider's home run last night.
UPDATE, 8:35 p.m.: If there's one thing I've noticed about Ryan Church tonight, it's that he looks tentative in the field. That's the third in-between ball he's let drop in. All three were tough plays — probably too tough to expect him to make — but it's either his hesitance or a reluctance to go full-out.
His glovework was one of the Mets highlights in April and May.
UPDATE, 8:53 p.m.: Here's the line on John Maine tonight: 5 2/3 IP, 10 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 2 BB, 4 K.
Here's the line on Maine since June 30 (his last nine starts): 2-2 (four ND), 5.09 ERA, 38 H, 28 BB, 43 K.
In spring training he looked like a budding ace. Not anymore.
UPDATE, 9:26 p.m.: Brian Schneider now has four home runs in his last six starts. He's also 14 for 43 in his last 14 games, good for a .326 clip.

Rush, July 5 +7, 2010
July 08, 2010, 07:39:25 pm »
after taking a day off of work, which is really hard to talk my boss into letting me do, we headed down to the Charter One Pavillion on Chicago's beautiful lakefront to see the show last night. its tucked in behind the Museum Campus which connects most of the city's major museums and Soldier Field with parking lots and access to the lakefront.
the place is really nice but small. its a lot like second stage at Ozzfest but it has rows of plastic folding chairs cable-tied together and upper stadium seating like you would find in a high school football field. I would say it only holds about 10,000 people. it used to be Meigs Field, for those of you who still play Flight Simulator. I'm still kicking myself for not going to see Heaven & Hell there last year, missing one of Dio's last performances.
we didn't go to the first show on monday because it sold out really quickly, but the people who did had to deal with the road buckling on Lake Shore Drive right near the entrance to the campus. some people never made it into the show. the review in the paper said they played three solid hours and performed the Moving Pictures album in the middle of the set.
well, the road started to buckle again last night so we took the scenic route through the near west side and got a little lost but we eventually made it around 7pm, about a half hour before it was SUPPOSED to start.
but on the way, the rain started. when they say isolated thundershowers, they mean it can be raining buckets in one place and dry as a bone five miles away. and it was raining buckets on us. for hours.
we sat in the car waiting for it to blow over and it kind of did but not really. we decided to make a run for it and ended up getting soaked to the skin within minutes. the people sitting in front of us had umbrellas (how the hell did you get those in and please fold them up when the band starts I don't care if it IS still raining). one group of jackasses held up a big blue tarp and walked around like that knocking into people while they were snaking through the seats. about 8 pm, they guy behind us got an email alert from LiveNation about the road problems and to allow extra time to travel to the show. thanks a lot.
wandering beer vendors (very cool) sold giant cans of Bud Light (ew) for $11
while we waited for over an hour for the announcement that, for our safety as well a the band's, tonight's concert was going to have to be rescheduled. shit.
we were slowly driven like sheep out of the venue (with the obligatory baa's) while we laughed our asses off at two young kids (13, 14?) walking out in front of us, bitching and moaning about what just happened. one of them actally said, "I'm serious man! I'm calling LiveNation tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind! it says RAIN or SHINE! God!"
we went home and changed, went to the bar and loaded the jukebox with Rush songs.

still recovering, 24 hours later, from the make up date for this show, which was on monday. (8/23)
it was one of the best shows we've ever been to. the venue is really small so our view was excellant. it looked like the upper deck area would have been nice too. the cable tied rows of folding chairs kinda sucked but we didn't do much sitting down.
the weather was absolutely perfect and the full sturgeon moon rose up out of the lake right before they went on.
the stage was dominated by a huge video screen and there were two other smaller screens flanking the stage. they started the show with the next episode of a video 'mockumentary' of the band Rash. it was hilarious.
the first half of the show focused on newer material and the video screens got their workout with live camera shots mingled into animated scenes.
they took an intermission and announced that, to make up for the rain-out we all got FREE HATS! we tried to start a chant of FREE HAT! FREE HAT! and only a couple of people got it and joined in. they are really nice hats.
the second set started with another episode of Rash and then they played Moving Pictures from start to finish. and then the solos. phenomenal! they ended with the old favorites, and another video of them in the I Love You, Man movie (I think, I haven't seen that one all the way through). the show was over three hours long of just them. I am still in awe.

An archdeacon has retracted claims that scout leaders supported plans to build on land used by young people.
David Lee provoked outrage when he said the proposals for four houses on church land in Guiseley had the backing of the local scout group.
But this week he issued a retraction after he was told his statement was wrong.
The controversial housing plan for a site next to the vicarage caused anger among local people when it was put forward by the Diocese of Bradford last year. The original application was withdrawn only to be replaced by a new plan, which is also generating opposition.
The latest row broke out after the Archdeacon said: "When we became aware of the objections to the development of this land, we held several meetings to listen to the local concerns and, after constructive discussion, the diocese decided to change the plans in order to allocate extra land to the Scouts and Guides.
"The three principal groups (St Oswald's PCC, the Guides and Scouts) support this solution and have written (or are writing) to the planners stating their support."
But this week he issued a statement saying: "As the Archdeacon of Bradford I have been involved with discussions about development of the church land in Guiseley from the beginning. For years, the Diocese has used all of this large parcel of land for the benefit of the community - as the school playing fields and an area for the scouts and guides. The Diocese is fully committed to these groups and wishes to see them thrive. When the plan to develop this parcel of land was agreed objections were raised that this would squeeze the land left to the scouts and guides. The Diocese listened and now is drawing up a new arrangement to allocate extra land to the scouts and guides.
"This new proposal has been presented to the Scouts, the Guides and the Church Council. I understand that the Church Council and Guides have no objection. I am on record that I thought the scouts also have no objection - but that is not the case. I have just seen their comments and they raise a concern about the noise their activities generate. I think this difficulty will be occasional and should be manageable.
"The development of this small part of the land will provide needed accommodation in a way sympathetic to the location and it will generate funds which will be invested in keeping the church serving the communities of West Yorkshire."
His statement followed a response from the 15th Airedale Scout Group Chairman Alison Drake who called on the Archdeacon to make a retraction.
After his further statement she said: "I am glad the Archdeacon has done what he can to rectify his mistake and that my only concern was that people would not bother to object if they thought the Scout group supported the application. I just hope people will make up their own minds on the merits of the application and I would urge them to make their views known by making a comment on the planning website or by writing to the planning department.
The proposal has drawn criticism from the area's MP Stuart Andrew.
He said: "I am against the latest application to develop the land next to the vicarage, this land is used by cubs and guides and must stay so. We have already seen so much development in Guiseley and to build on space used by young people would be totally wrong.
"The application was withdrawn last time and I hope that the same will happen on this occasion."

For all the heat Scott Gomez takes — some of it certainly deserved — for being inconsistent on the ice and an occasional clown in interviews, the way he spent his All-Star break says something about his aspirations for this season.
Because while a bunch of Rangers dispersed for points south — some to Florida, some to Cancun, others to Jamaica — Gomez opted for the lovely confines of the Rangers practice facility in Greenburgh. I hear it's beautiful this time of year.
"He stayed back in New York and trained really hard. I know he came to the rink every day and lifted weights and got on the ice," said goaltender Stephen Valiquette. "He was the one guy who used our break to focus on getting stronger for the second half of the year. I know he's going to be outstanding the rest of the way."
At least tonight Gomez was. It was one game, and from a team standpoint, it was ugly in spots. But Gomez was brilliant, and he, Markus Naslund, and Ryan Callahan offered glimpses of what a true top unit looks like.

From there, they command Aleppo and Idlib province air space and guard the US military-intelligence command post attached to rebel headquarters in that town. The other four are deployed in two southern Turkish border cities - two German Patriot batteries at Kahramanmaras and two Dutch-operated ones at Adana.

Capt. Fisk's Expedition.
06 Sep 1864 — Fort Rice
St. Cloud Democrat., October 13, 1864, Image 2
Capt. Fisk's Expedition.
The Situation when Messengers left tor Fort Rice
[The following letter though giving no later details than the letters, we have published from Fort Rice, will be read with interest, giving as it does the situation of Captain Fisk's little party when the messengers left for assistance. – ED PRESS
BATTLE FIELD, Sept. 6,1864
Circumstances would not admit of my writing you from Fort Rice, but I take the first opportunity to give you an account of our true position. We left Fort Rice with an escort of fifty, men only. We had a pleasant march Until the 3d instant, when we were attacked by about two or three hundred red skins We lost and buried that day two of our men and tour of the Cavalry scouts, besides four wounded. The next day and today we have fought them, marching all the time, until Captain Fisk halted the train and threw up entrenchments, rifle-pits, etc., and this evening sends fifteen men back to Fort Rice for reinforcements.
We have only had one man wounded by them since the first attack, but have taken several scalps and four or five ponies. We have given them more than they bargained for today.
Capt. Fisk, Lieut, Johnson, and in fact his whole party, are all right. We are bound to go to Idaho or die. I will give you full and correct detail when I get there.
As I write there are Indians coursing around our camp, but we are good for them.
The names of the' members of our party who were killed on the 3d were, Louis Neade of St. Anthony Walter Grimes of St. Paul, formerly of White Bear, and Walter Fewer of St Anthony.
Our wounded are Jefferson Dilleto, severely, and Albert Libby of Anoka, slightly. They are both doing well. The names of those killed in the cavalry escort I do not know and cannot learn at this time.
Mrs. W. K. Leonard of Anoka, deserves great credit for her services rendered in attending to our wounded. She is truly a noble woman.
Joseph Delany is all right as yet Your correspondent has the peculiar felicity of knowing that he has picked off two red skins, but the opportunity to continue this amusement seems likely to be presented longer than will be agreeable. I can see the red devils now on every surrounding hill. You must not believe all the frightful stories you will hear about us. I must close this hasty communication as the couriers are about to start for Fort Rice. G. W. M

I've been a fan of L'Oreal Paris' products for years, but it wasn't until I was a bit older that I fully understood the brand's message of a woman's worth, which I wholeheartedly agree with.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"After a few days of search; I finally found this site and I'm excited with my invitation! The cards are easy to customize with so many designs, fonts and colors to chose from. This one caught my eye and I just received them in the mail. Right on time I must say! The paper quality is rich, the print for my photograph is beautiful and the envelopes are thick. It's everything we hoped it'd be and more. I would highly recommend getting this. It gave us an opportunity to share a little bit of who we are as a couple on the invitation as well. In my opinion, it makes it more personal and different. Different is good."
"My color theme for my wedding it a variation of purples and this invitation was just perfect for it. The quality is also great! Delivery was amazingly fast! I am very satisfied with my finished product and would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"

Pocket Utopia to Open Sharon Butler's PRECISIONIST CASUAL Exhibition, Jan 6
Pocket Utopia presents "Precisionist Casual," a solo exhibition of new paintings by ShaRon Butler. The exhibition will feature Butler's stapled, washed canvases, unstretched yet arranged on stretchers.
(Opening Reception, Sunday, January 6th from 6 to 8pm. Gallery hours: Wednesday through Sunday, 11am to 6pm.)
Butler finds herself pulled between the worldly confines of the Precisionists of the early twentieth century and the fey liberation of today's Casualist abstraction. Like the Precisionists, Butler is drawn to urban settings, structures, and HVAC architecture - all in evidence from the windows of her Bushwick studio. Yet, like the Casualists, she seeks a mode of presentation that evokes more than the triumphs and laments of industrialization that earlier artists have already plumbed so well, embracing those inconsistent realities and searching for new ones.
In Butler's new work, stretchers are no longer hidden, voiceless platforms for paintings but rather partially revealed elements of the work, haphazardly wrapped with wrinkled tarps. The resulting Rauschenbergian sense of earthy imperfection and chaos, though, is balanced by well-anchored painting distinguished by skewed perspective, geometric structure, sensitivity to form, minimalist economy of detail, and worn-out pastels.
With a sensibility that resists serial rigor and jettisons the notion that you can get everything right, Butler fully realizes her belief that the most interesting and enduring stories are imperfect and incomplete, showcasing an appealingly unresolved tension between restless impetuosity and grounded rigor. Her new paintings seamlessly combine the irresoluteness of contemporary abstraction with the confidence of the Modern.
Since 2009, ShaRon Butler has exhibited at SEASON (Seattle, WA), John Davis Gallery (Hudson, NY), STOREFRONT (Brooklyn, NY), and Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT). In addition to painting, Butler publishes the award-winning art blog Two Coats of Paint and has contributed to The Brooklyn Rail and Hyperallergic. She divides her time between New York City and southeastern Connecticut. "Precisionist Casual" is her first solo show at Pocket Utopia.
Pocket Utopia is located at 191 Henry Street between Clinton and Jefferson Streets in New York City. Hours are Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-6pm.

Print this issue
As Massachusetts nears its state budget process for FY 2013, the
Massachusetts Bar Association is launching a high profile awareness
campaign on the effects of underfunded courts. The statewide effort
is geared toward the commonwealth's general public.
"Understandably, the average citizen may not appreciate the
irreplaceable role courts play in their security, livelihood and
freedoms," MBA President Richard P. Campbell said. "This
significant communication will attempt to change that."
Through a billboard campaign to begin on Monday, Jan. 16, the
association aims to grab the average citizen's attention to
reinforce that court funding does impact him or her. The MBA's
message will be showcased on billboards in Greater Boston, along
I-93 in Dorchester and Medford; in Worcester along I-290; and in
Fall River along Rt. 24.
The billboard message will direct passersby to the MBA Web site --
www.massbar.org. Included on the
MBA's site will be informational materials on court funding as well
as resources citizens and members of the legal community can
reference when reaching out to their respective legislators on this
important issue.
As part of the informational on-line package, public service
announcement-style videos can be viewed. The videos highlight the
negative impact of inadequate court funding through the perspective
of judicial leadership, attorneys, academic leaders and court
"We've never done this before," Campbell said. "The fact that the
MBA has committed to elevating awareness in this fashion is a clear
indication of how dire the circumstances have gotten in the court
room atmosphere and operations."
Campbell said he realizes that the campaign won't reach every
citizen of the commonwealth, but he is eager to take the MBA's
communication and advocacy efforts to the next level to better
convey why Massachusetts should properly fund its third branch of
In addition to the billboards and YouTube videos, the MBA will work
to share word of this new campaign through comprehensive outreach
to membership and the larger legal community, as well as other key
community and opinion leaders.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick is expected to release his version of the FYI
13 budget later this month, while both the House and Senate will
begin their budget debates in April and May respectively.

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible and hoping if someone could help me preform a tab with js.
But, here's the catch, i want it to act just like the tab-button on a keyboard does. Meaning not only does it indent (~4 spaces) in an input-field, text-area, or anywhere when one can type, but it also tabs to the next-element on a page that can be focused on.
I hope I am not being too confusing.
Its just like the tab-button that indents and also can move around a web-page for example.
I was trying to achieve something like this once a div, with the id #tabButton, I made is clicked.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I would really appreciate any help or ideas.
Thanks in Advance & Best Regards,Team 1504.
You would set up an event listener for the onkeydown or onkeypress event. If the selected element is not a text field, you can allow that keypress to occur without interruption, so that it's default behaviour of moving around the page occurs.
If the selected element is however a text field, you can then perform the alternative behaviour that you require. That could be to change the pressed key to a tab symbol instead, or to cancel the event and instead perform some custom behaviour of your choice instead.
Hmm...well with some help from, mainly, Quircksmode and then some other pages I understood more about this and how to approach it, but I am still having same problem(s) with the following:
I learned how to listen to when any button is pressed, but 1.) I do not know how to specifically determine or listen to only tab
And why I want to do this, is because it seems like I would have to record this and then execute it once my div is clicked.
2.) But, I do not know how to record or store the result? And then execute it as the function once the div is clicked.
I apologise if I am asking too much and / or for being a noob
But I have been looking online and I can't seem to put all these pieces together to get it all working, which the two issues above would greatly help with.
Thank you all very much in Advance and U would greatly appreciate any and all help!
Kind Regards,Team 1504.
I do not know how to specifically determine or listen to only tab
Google search tells me: event.keyCode #9 is the tab key.
hmm ah okay. so does the quriksmode example
so i am assuming then I would do some sort of if statement comparing it to keycode, right?
But then how do I get the result of what the browser or the js thinks the keycode is?
I mean, off the bat, would the syntax inside the function that is run on / inside onKeyPress be something like this:In pseudo-code:on document.ready() onKeyDown function(){ if(event.keyCode == 9){ alert("tab was pressed!"); else{ alert("a key besides tab was pressed!");
The base for the keydown event handling function goes like this:
body.onkeydown = function (evt) {
var allowDefault = true;
evt = evt || event;
if (evt.keyCode === 9) {
// tab was pressed
return allowDefault;
The reason for the allowDefault variable is so that you can decide whether if you want the web browser to accept the key or not, depending on the needs of your particular situation.
Okay, in terms of using that code that you, paul_wilkins, were kind enough to provide, I tried using it to detect if as pressed and if so, alert that tab was pressed when my tab button is pressed.Now that I am typing that, I think I am confusing myself even more.
Okay so the code you wrote gives if tab was pressed or not. Then what I was trying to do was interpret that and alert a result so that I could get #button to do the same once it was pressed.
But I think I seriously messed it up because, now, I am getting more confused each time I read my code.
So, now, the script can detect if tab was pressed. What I was trying to do was alert the user that tab was pressed and that tabbing will now occur once my button was pressed. Because eventually that what will happen.But once I know if tab is pressed, how do I record what happens and replicate it once my button is pressed?
Here is the code, apologies if I really messed it up:
<!Doctype HTML>

<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>div that preforms tab on press</title>

Being seated inside the hallowed court room of the Bank of England was the last place 14-year-old school pupil Rachel Natoajeva thought she would end up when she signed up for an event to meet "inspirational women".
"You can't see someone from Lewisham coming here," she explains, as oil paintings of be-wigged former governors stare down upon us from the walls. One of 120 school girls from London state schools aged between 13 and 17 selected to attend a "speed networking" event at the Bank with City career women, surprisingly few said they wanted to be bankers or work in finance.

Brad Pitt's wack-o beach house finally got bought- by Ellen DeGeneres!
-Lucia Peters
Remember when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie put their Malibu beach house on the market back at the end of August? Well, they finally found a buyer, and it is none other than Ellen DeGeneres!
According to People, transactions were completed on Friday to finalize Ellen's purchase of the house for a cool $12 million, about $2 million shy of Brad's asking price of $13.75 million. We first heard about Ellen's interest in the house around Thanksgiving; back in October, she and wife Portia De Rossi put their Beverly Hills home (which had, it should be noted, been featured in Architectural Digest) on the market for $49 million. Ellen and Portia's old house covered about 15,000 square feet, which means they'll be downsizing a bit, as Brad's former home covers only 4,000 square feet.
But what of the house itself? You might recall that Mean Betty had a little difficulty understanding exactly what Brad's beach home looked like. It was built in 1962, an era not known for its architectural genius, and as such, it's a ranch-style home; however, it's also two stories, which is directly counter to the definition of a ranch house, and it's split over two buildings. Weird? Weird.
It does, however have four bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as spectacular ocean views, 3 fireplaces, a tennis court, and beach access to a private cove, according to Realtor.com. Angelina and Brad were apparently using two of the four bedrooms as offices at the time the house went on the market—which kind of makes me scratch my head. Were all six of their kids crammed into one bedroom? I guess it must have been a pretty massive room…

Okay, to be fair, the house was technically just Brad's, so maybe he, Angelina, and the kids weren't all holed up there. In any event, it sounds like a pretty good size for a couple, so no doubt Ellen and Portia will find it quite cozy. Want pictures? Here are a few:
Nice, isn't it? Even if we still don't quite get the whole two-building compound thing. Welcome home, Ellen and Portia!

I have a class as below, assuming this is an object:
class house {
private $windows;
function __construct() {
function setWindows() {
function getWindows() {
function countWindows() {
// this is object's method
if I add a function like this:
class house {
private $windows;
function __construct() {
function setWindows() {
function getWindows() {
function countWindows() {
// this is object's method
// call isGlassWindows() function here
function isGlassWindows () {
// this is not object's method
Can I call "house class" is an object?
No you can not, you have to pass the object as a parameter to your function.
But, if this is an object's method, should I use like this?
I don't know what you want to do so I'm afraid can't answer that question. Could you explain a bit more?
I know an object have properties and methods, right. So I'm only want to know I can add any function (not object's method) for it or not. I see many project they code like #2.
I'm confused by you saying it's not the object's method. It's a method defined within the object; therefore it is the object's method.
Scallio: Cant it be called by $this->isGlassWindows() ? (My OOP skills are sorely lacking.)
isGlassWindows() is a function, assuming that it's not object's method.
Thank all!
My question is what is setWindows going to be doing? This is probably where you will define wether they are glass correct?
Yes, it can
I give an example to everyone to know objects have only properties and methods or not. If I write code with procedure (don't use class), not object. I don't need care properties, methods. Do you know what's object?
hmmm .....
Not sure I have completely understood this, but going back to the OP.
Is my object really an instance of a house? Use the function is_a()
$b = new house;
if( is_a($b, "house") ) {
echo 'yep, $b is an object of the house class';
Interesting, I didn't know about is_a(). I've always used instanceOf myself:
$myHouse = new House();
if ($myHouse instanceof House) {
echo 'Yes, $myHouse is a House';
I only know of its existence through using simpleTests' assertIsA() function.
Blimey, did not know it was deprecated and then subsequently that decision was rescinded. instance of or is_a().
Anyhow, horses for courses -- but was that the OPs real question do you think?
Or maybe they are looking for method_exists().
Any instance of "house" will have the method isGlassWindows, I'm not sure why you think the method will not belong to the object. The ONLY way a method will not belong to the object directly is static methods, which are part of the class, not the object.
If you showed us an actual working example of what you are asking, I could give you more answers but in the example you've provided, isGlassWindows will belong to the object.

Do you know anyone else who has grown any gluten free grains in their backyard garden? No? Neither do we.
That didn't stop us. We planted amaranth, sorghum, teff, and flax this year. Just as in the rest of the garden, there were some successes and some we will not repeat.
Even though we will not plant most of these next year, we enjoyed trying them. We know our grains are organic. We know they are not contaminated with wheat. We built up our internal supply of vitamin D. 😉 Our pantry is full. We have a small plot of fertile land. These are all good things. Things we are very thankful for.
We encourage you to grow a garden, or to grow something next year. Please share with us what you grow. It is such a rewarding experience, and you will have much to be thankful for too.
I cook with all of these grains and seeds, and have posted before with recipes. I'll add a garden review here, and you can click on links for previous posts.
amaranth flower photo by vsimon
Amaranth is the clear winner here. From just a small packet, it produced nearly 2 pounds of seeds, harvested over 2 months. We cook the seeds for hot breakfast cereal. And pop them for a tiny version of popcorn.
Early in the season, we also harvested the leaves and stems. Steamed tender young stems taste just like asparagus! Later in the year the leaves and stems get too tough to eat.
young amaranth leaves and stems photo by lsimon
Amaranth is also worthy of planting in the flower garden. Ours got 8 feet tall, with striking flowers.
I don't really consider flax a gluten free grain. It turned out to be the same as flax I had grown in the flower garden. It has airy leaves, with pretty little sky blue flowers. The thought of harvesting it hadn't occurred to me before.
Vince ordered it this year from Bountiful Gardens, where it was listed with grains. And I often add ground flax seed in gluten free baking. So he thinks of it as a gluten free grain.
flax gone to seed photo by vsimon
We didn't get much of a harvest, only 3 oz. A ground squirrel was well fed though, he ate more than we did. It is far easier to buy flax seed in the store. And so we do.
White Seeded Popping Sorghum
We love sorghum, flour and syrup. The plant looks just like corn stalks with an exploded ear of corn at the top.
sorghum plant photo by vsimon
In our cold wet spring, it germinated very poorly. But once it took hold, it was fun to watch. We harvested over 4 pounds of seeds.
I won't be making flour out of it. I don't have the equipment and this really is not enough. We aren't boiling down the stems for syrup either. That is just too hard core for me.
sorghum seeds, raw and cooked photo by vsimon
We have cooked the seeds in a slow cooker. It tastes just like corn, and smells just like cooked corn. The seeds are smaller, and creamy white.
It will be pleasant to wake up to a steamy, fragrant bowl of sorghum seeds for breakfast on a wintery morning.
They could be used for a grain side dish too. Like rice, or quinoa.
We tried popping them, without success, and despite the name. We tried several times, and tried several methods.
They did get toasty tasty though. I thought this could be a crunchy addition to trail mix. And we have a lot of seeds to use.
Still, no need to repeat these. We will buy our sorghum flour and syrup in the store next year. And we can live without the seeds.
The teff was sad. The teff grew well enough. It is short, only 3 feet tall. The leaves are soft and arching.
But the seeds are so tiny I don't know how they are harvested. They just disappear. There are seeds in this picture. Really, there are. They are hard to see even up close.
teff plant with seeds photo by vsimon
We threshed the teff and got a whopping 1.2 ounces (1/4 cup) seed. And it is nearly impossible to clean the chaff away. If you blow on it, it goes, and so does the seed.
We will be buying teff seeds and flour in the store too.
Possibilities for next year
Maybe buckwheat, millet, and quinoa. We will keep you posted.

Specially-designed posters celebrating the benefits of fair trade have gone on display in Otley.
The town's primary school pupils created the posters, on show at the Otley Core Resource Centre this week and next, to promote Fairtrade Fortnight for Otley For Fairtrade and Economic Rights (Offer).
They will be judged by the Town Mayor, Councillor Pam Gill (Lab, Manor) and Town Council leader Councillor John Eveleigh (Lab, Ashfield) with the winning entry set to become the symbol of Otley's Fairtrade Town status.
The Core is also being opened this Saturday morning so people can view the posters and sample some Fairtrade goods.
Coun Eveleigh, who chairs Offer, said: "Otley's primary school children have really risen to the challenge.
"We are delighted that Otley has been successful in retaining Fairtrade status and the winning poster will become the recognised symbol of Otley's Fairtrade Town status.
"Choosing a winner from this fantastic range of artwork is going to be a tough job, but I would like to thank all the children who participated.
"All have made a stand and made a statement that Otley believes that producers in developing countries should be paid fairly for their products."
Offer is also looking into the possibility of displaying the winning Fairtrade design on the Welcome to Otley gateway signs.

Avril Lavigne thinks Britney Spears is weak
Avril Lavigne says Britney Spears can't blame the media for her meltdown because all celebrities have to deal with the fame that comes with their success and it was her own fault for being so weak. She says:
"What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it. You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness because that's the job."
I'm not defending Britney Spears, but she's on a completely different level of fame than Avril Lavigne. You probably didn't even know Avril Lavigne was still alive until about thirty seconds ago when you saw this post. I mean, yeah, it's pretty easy to deal with fame when the only time you encounter it is little kids asking you if you're Minnie Mouse.

Nokia E5 ReviewNokia E5
The Nokia E5 runs Symbian S60 v3 (or 3rd Edition), as the E72 before it, and the E71 before that, as well as the E61 before that. This isn't to say Symbian is a bad thing, however, with minimal visual evolution over the generations, even for a business phone with minimal flourish, the Nokia E5's interface looks extremely dated. As usable as ever though, Symbian places most of what you would expect to find, where you would expect to find it, with a few counter-intuitive niggles which include the inability to edit home-screen shortcuts without wading through layers of repeated menus, and it being all too easy to turn off the phone by mistake.
For further details, the OS has been looked at closely in a number of other reviews so we won't dwell on it here, but suffice to say, it performs adequately, with phonebook access tying in nicely with the QWERTY input and all the standard calendar and organizer functions working well.
Connectivity and Data:
With quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G, Wi-Fi, A-GPS and Bluetooth 2.1, the Nokia E5 provides a good platform to compete with other business devices when it comes to connectivity, even winning-out in a number of areas. At a very reasonable price-point and with a familiar form-factor that works, the E5 comes loaded with SyncML, push email onboard, support for Exchange servers, making staying connected a primary concern. The phone also ships with Nokia's new networking apps such as Ovi Chat, and Ovi Contacts, and while these are yet to take off in the same way as BBM or Gtalk, they are nevertheless useful to have if, say, an entire office is kitted out with E5s or other Nokia handsets.
Web browsing using the on-board Symbian browser is okay, if slightly awkward. While it was good 2 years ago, usable last year, the small, low res screen coupled with the lack of a touch-screen make everything about the experience feel particularly dated in this day and age given the current line-up of web-browsers.
Apps and support on the Nokia E5 include Bloomberg, Lotus Notes Traveller, Quickoffice, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Twitter, Ovi Files, Ovi Contacts, Ovi Sync, Friendster and Ovi Chat out of the box.

It has no significant new features I rather have the e72 instead Which looks better
5. B (unregistered)
The E5 is much cheaper with very few features taken away :) So if you can afford the E72, great, otherwise, this is a good alternative.
7. nitinmjh (unregistered)
agreed it is much cheaper than e72...but how about comparing it with e71...since there is not much price difference and the later has sec camera should I opt for e71 if one doesnt need much ram for multitasking and using various applications?
2. lacp (unregistered)
It has 256MB of memory ram. It's one significant new feature. it has about 160MB of free ram after booting.

"QWERTY alternatives to the Nokia E5 with similar specs would be the considerably more expensive BlackBerry Bold 9700, or the Android-powered Motorola Milestone 2, the latter of which has a much larger keyboard layout." Are you kidding me Phone Arena? Forget the fact that the 9700 is in another price range and therefore not a true competitor. Am I really reading this right now that you are calling the Milestone 2 and E5 competitor? Have you people lost your mind? Why don't you call the iPhone a competitor while you're at it too? In fact, screw it, let's call the Galaxy Tab an E5 competitor as well. Since you clearly need help here, how about the Blackberry Curve since feature wise and price wise it fits, and I know there's a few Samsung's running the older Win Mo that are in that segment as well. LG has one or two also I'm sure.
4. B (unregistered)
Hi DontHateOnS60, Firstly, cool name, secondly, thanks for sharing your thoughts, The phones were introduced as being QWERTY devices with similar specs. The reason for using the Bold is that feature set of the Nokia E5 is comparable with that of the Bold, illustrating the great value you get with the E5. You're absolutely correct, the Curve could have also been used as an alternative. The Motorola Milestone was used as an example of a current touch-screen alternative with a totally different QWERTY to give readers looking for a QWERTY greater variety. It is acknowledged these are in different price classes. This hopefully illustrates the great features you get with the E5 for the price (Wi-Fi, 3G, great GPS with maps, 5MP camera with flash, snappy processor, good online experience, good music playback, productivity apps out of the box etc). "If your sights are set on something at a similar price-point, another QWERTY device to consider would be the Xperia X10 mini pro, with less of a business orientation, but the versatility of Android nonetheless." Another alternative with a similar form-factor, this time on the cheaper side of the Nokia E5 would be the Nokia C3. This would be ideal if you don't need the power of Symbian S60. It runs Series 40, offering less versatility and connectivity, but a great QWERTY nonetheless. As for using older phones such as Samsungs running WinMo, we're restricted to current handsets with our alternative suggestions, however, appreciate the input. Regards, B - Reviewer _ PhoneArena Team

I agree with phone arena. iphone is on a different target audience compared to nokia e5. he even mentioned galaxy tab when infact from the word itself it says "tab" and not a "phone". so screen wise and functionality wise it would be unfair to compare a tab with a phone. but so far i am enjoying my e5. one of the best phone in it's price range. nice cam. loud music playback through the speaker. i have worked with several telecommunications company already like sprint and telstra and i have seen so many phone but not compared to this phone in its price range. so loving the phone.!

Does this fone stuck or held at times?....I've hear it does so,i'm planning to buy it should i go ahead or not?
17. Ramesh Iyer (unregistered)
I have been using the Nokia E5 for about 6 months and have found it to be excellent for its features and price point. I got the firmware updated to the latest one but even before that it never "hung" as was reported in earlier posts. The display resolution could have been 16M colors instead of the dated 252k though. Since it has almost every feature of its much more expensive cousin E72, I settled for E5 and don't regret it. Worth every dime I spent on the phone and am pleased with the phone overall, despite few niggles (like the display res n rigid vol keys).

In the tutorials it says there is a front camera they call it the secondary camera. It even has a flash on the front but I still can't find how to turn it on. Does anyone know anything about this? I got it so I can do video calls with skype but it will not let me. If it does not have that capibilities then I need to get a new phone.

Caption It: Look Who's Backby Maria Russo in Food Network Star, August 5, 2011
No, this is not a recycled image from a previous episode. This sneak peek shot was taken on the set of Sunday's episode of Star, during which the most recently eliminated contestants – Chris, Penny, Jyll and Whitney – return as their former fellow finalists' sous chefs in an Iron Chef battle.
Don't let their calm demeanor here fool you, though. The competition gets heated in Kitchen Stadium as these four join forces with their once-rivals in order to impress Iron Chef Michael Symon, Alton Brown and the selection committee. Will the remaining contestants be satisfied with their sous chefs, or will the latter add chaos and distraction to the already-complicated challenge?
Before you tune in this Sunday at 9pm/8c to see whose cuisine reigns supreme, we're challenging you, Star fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this Kitchen Stadium moment in the comments below.
Only two episodes to go! You can still cast your Fan Favorite Vote up to 10 times per day.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/5/2013 (1557 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BIG RELEASE: Fast & Furious 6 (May 24), The Hangover Part III (May 23)
BIG PICTURE: The summer approaches, which means Hollywood is again suffering from the seasonal disorder known as "sequelitus." (It's just like hay fever, only replace "sneezing," "itching" and "congestion" with "Dwayne Johnson," "Robert Downey Jr." and "grown adults in spandex.") Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Paul Walker all reprise their tough-guy roles in this fast and furious road to sensory overload. This time around, the bad boy car thieves are lured out of retirement to work for The Man. As one character summarizes: "We're talking vehicular warfare." Enough said. Meanwhile, The Hangover reunites cast members Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha and Ken Jeong, and adds John Goodman to mix as their new nemesis. Mercifully, this time there will be no wedding, but there will be a zany road trip featuring a hi-jacking, cockfighting, drug abuse... and a speeding convertible driving a giraffe down the freeway. (Or is that last one Fast & Furious? I forget. I hope so. I've always wanted to see Vin Diesel with a giraffe sidekick).
FORECAST: This week's sequels do offer valuable guidance to moviemakers. Take the Fast & Furious franchise on its sixth birthday -- an age appropriate to the maturity of much of its core audience. The lesson? Fast cars + furious alpha males + fast and furious explosions + gyrating women (dancing next to the fast cars) box office magic. Tinseltown: Stop making period pieces or star-studded biographies: put all your money into sports cars, steroids and mini-skirts. As for The Hangover, back again for Round 3, the lessons are mixed: For starters, not every film deserves a sequel; but if you are doubling down on a comedy franchise, Zach Galifianakis should co-star. He singlehandedly made the first sequel watchable and he'll lead this Wolf Pack again.
BIG EVENT: Arrested Development (May 26, Netflix, 12:01 a.m.)
BIG PICTURE: Yes, it could have been an alternate title to the sitcom Two and a Half Men (or the Fast & Furious franchise). Instead, Arrested Development is only one of the best sitcoms of all time. If you don't subscribe to Netflix, now's the time to experiment. The on-demand streaming service will debut 15 new episodes of the cult comedy at 12:01 a.m. The entire original cast of the unjustly cancelled show has reunited, including Michael Cera, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. Each episode will focus on a single character and help lay the groundwork for the long-discussed Arrested feature film. Those without Netflix, find a friend.Arrested Development was anything but during its 2003-06 run. One of the most sophisticated, razor-sharp sitcoms of all time follows the dysfunctional Bluth family and its self-destructive adventures. (The Bluths are a psychiatrist's dream clients.)
FORECAST: Netflix reunites the cast after seven years. I'm only hoping it can do the same for other shows that ended before their time -- like Perfect Strangers (What are Cousin Larry and Cousin Balki up to in the 21st century?), Firefly (I don't care if they have to kidnap Nathan Fillion from the set of Castle) and Lost (fans are still looking for a "real" final season).
HONOURABLE MENTION: Save Me (May 23, NBC, 10 p.m.). Anne Heche plays a suburban housewife whose near-death experience -- choking on a sandwich -- may have lent her the power to talk to God. Or so she claims. (The same thing happened to me once during a pie-eating competition. And, yes, God does sound like Morgan Freeman). The fact NBC delayed premiering this comedy to the summer means it may very well need divine intervention to survive.
BIG RELEASE ON MAY 21: The National (Trouble Will Find Me)
BIG PICTURE: No, The National is not a spoken word album by the CBC's Peter Mansbridge. Led by the unmistakable baritone rumble of Matt Berninger, this band offers a rare combination: lush, orchestral rock 'n' roll that is both intelligent and deeply stirring. Their haunted, hook-laden songs take simple, well-trodden themes -- from lost loves and broken friendships to human frailty -- and make them seem otherworldly. St. Vincent, Suftjan Stevens and Arcade Fire's Richard Reed are among the many talented guest stars on the Cincinnati-born rockers' new effort.
FORECAST: This one's not for the Fast & Furious crowd. These classically trained musicians offer sombre, introspective lyrics set to lush instrumentation. They're not a good backdrop for car explosions. But if you're a lover of good music, this is the kind of trouble you want to find. Hot off their critically acclaimed album High Violet, The National's new effort will cement their reputation as one of the most eloquent, creatively vibrant bands in the business.
HONOURABLE MENTION: Daft Punk (Random Access Memories). This French electronic duo's first effort since 2005 features guests such as Pharrell Williams, Julian Casablancas and Chilly Gonzalez. (Doesn't anyone make albums on their own anymore?).

Please consider to include the information what AF level was used into the graphs. This is something all recent reviews here have have been lacking.
About the image quality: The shimmering was greatly reduced with the fixed driver (78.03). So it's down to NV40 level now. But 3dCenter.de[1] and Computerbase.de conclude that only enabling "high quality" in the Forceware brings comparable image quality to "A.I. low". Perhaps you find the time to explore this issue in the image quality tests.

yacoub - Friday, October 07, 2005 - linkPASSIVELY COOLED! That's soooo appealing. I wish board makers could get the northbridges cool enough on the AMD chipset to make more passively cooled boards. I hate having another fan in the case, especially a tiny one running at high revs making a racket. It's bad enough most GPUs suffer from that, we don't need another one on the mobo. :( Reply
DigitalFreak - Friday, October 07, 2005 - linkCorrect me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think the audio is on the PCI-E bus. The codec hangs directly off the southbridge, and isn't on any bus. If you look at the slot the audio card goes in, it's actually a PCI-E 1x connector turned backwards. I'm assuming that they use that particular connector because it's cheaper than designing something custom. Still, not a bad job on the CPU utilization.
BTW, the chip is an ALC850, not ACL850 as mentioned on page 3. Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, October 07, 2005 - linkThanks for pointing this out. The references to the audio connector have been corrected to "dedicated audio connector" which it is unless we hear otherwise from Abit. We have seen the separate dedicated audio card can significantly reduce CPU overhead, and Abit seems to have done well with this idea on this board. Reply

The superior Workstation performance demonstrated here involves two parts: the ABIT NI8 SLI coupled to the D840 EE Dual core P4. The other boards compared here feature a standard single core solution
Wait, what? You are comparing a dual core HT enabled system with several other Intel systems using only a single core? How is this apples to apples? This makes all of the benchmarks you did worthless. Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, October 07, 2005 - linkALL tests used the exact same CPU except the Workstation test results. That means general performance, encoding, DX9, and DX8 gaming were tested on all reported platforms with the Pentium D 840EE.
The Workstation Tests were included because they were an interesting picture of a 3.6GHz single core being soundly outperformed by a 3.2GHz dual-core Pentium D. The workstation tests were meant to be an illustration, not a direct comparison.
The 3.46EE was used in some past memory tests to achieve high memory bus speeds, and the reference was only made in examing overclocked memory FSB speed records - not comparative performance.
We will make this clearer in the review, but all of the benchmarks except Worksation are definitely apples to apples tests - even down to HT being enabled in all tests. Reply

mongoosesRawesome - Friday, October 07, 2005 - linkeh, not so impressed myself. what ABIT did looks expensive and it doesn't get the job done adequately. DFI includes temperature controlled fans in their BIOS, which makes their fans bearable. A nice thing about Nforce 3/4 boards is that you really only have one chip to cool.
Who exactly is Abit targeting with this board? Who games with Intel? A64s are cheap, nforce 4 boards are cheap, and they perform better. I realize that in the corporate world, there are people out there that only use Intel, but I figured gamers were different. I just can't see this board really being that popular. Reply
