Nose Pads Glasses
Glasses with Adjustable Nose Pads
Nose Pads are a love-hate accessory with eyewear. Some people live by them and others won't wear them. However, the truth is that Nose Pads provide a lot of advantages compared to the anti-nose pad plastic frames. Are you tired of your glasses sliding back forth down your nose? Nose Pad eyeglasses will naturally fit your face better and can easily be adjusted for maximum comfort. Typically designed with metal frames, Nose Pads are manufactured with adjustable metal wires that hold their adapted positions with strength. Experience the luxury of customizing your eyeglasses to the unique shape of your nose wherever you decide to rest your frames. Also, Nose Pads provide a natural air flow through the frames that virtually works as an anti-fog mechanism. Glasses with Nose Pads will not nearly fog up as much as full-frame plastic glasses due to this abundance of air. Eyeglass frames have developed in design exponentially over the last decade, and Nose Pad frames can now be found in hundreds of styles. Check out our immense selection of Nose Pad frames today and experience the benefits for yourself.

Eleven UF football commits set for official visits
Published: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 12:23 a.m.
Prior to this month, Florida had used just 12 of its allotted 56 official visits for prospective student-athletes.
Florida's official visitors
*RB Kelvin Taylor, 5-11, 214, Belle Glade/Glades Day
*RB Adam Lane, 5-8, 216, Winter Haven
*WR Ahmad Fulwood, 6-4, 189, Jacksonville/Bishop Kenny
*WR Marqui Hawkins, 6-2, 190, Columbus, Ga./Carver
*DT Caleb Brantley, 6-3, 295, Crescent City/Crescent City
*DL Joey Ivie, 6-4, 270, Dade City/Pasco
*DE Jordan Sherit, 6-5, 234, Tampa/Hillsborough
*LB Daniel McMillian, 6-3, 220, Jacksonville/First Coast
*LB Quinton Powell, 6-2, 200, Daytona Beach/Mainland
*CB Vernon Hargreaves III, 5-11, 185, Tampa/Wharton
*S Nick Washington, 6-0, 183, Jacksonville/Trinity Christian
The Gators will have almost a dozen this weekend as UF holds its annual football banquet. The keynote speaker for Friday night's event will be ESPN college football analyst Kevin Carter, who was a standout defensive end at Florida from 1991-1994 and played 14 seasons in the NFL.
All 11 official visitors are commitments to Florida's 2013 class, which is ranked No. 1 in the nation by ESPN with 22 members.
Coming down will be running backs Kelvin Taylor (Belle Glade/Glades Day) and Adam Lane (Winter Haven), receivers Ahmad Fulwood (Jacksonville/Bishop Kenny) and Marqui Hawkins (Columbus, Ga./Carver), defensive linemen Caleb Brantley (Crescent City), Joey Ivie (Dade City/Pasco) and Jordan Sherit (Tampa/Hillsborough), linebackers Daniel McMillian (Jacksonville/First Coast) and Quinton Powell (Daytona Beach/Mainland), and defensive backs Vernon Hargreaves III (Tampa/Wharton) and Nick Washington (Jacksonville/Trinity Christian).
Each one of these prospects has attended a home game this season, but this trip will offer them a different experience in Gainesville. In addition to the banquet, they will spend a whole weekend with the UF coaches and players and get exposed to all aspects of college life.
"I can't wait to step on campus and have fun with everybody," Sherit said. "It won't be like a gameday where everybody is busy and has stuff going on. There will be a lot of time to hang out with the coaching staff and the team so we can get a feel of what it's going to be like for us these next four years."
The Gators are also hosting 2014 quarterback Will Grier (Davidson, N.C./Davidson Day) and 2014 cornerback Duke Dawson (Cross City/Dixie County), who will be two of the top prospects at their positions in the next recruiting cycle. Both have Florida leading and want to make their decisions as soon as possible.
"I'm just looking forward to see the coaches, players and commits again," said Dawson, who will choose between UF and FSU sometime in January. "Maybe one day I'll be on the same team with those guys, so it will be great to get to know them some more."

text: dsm1891 2746 Report post Posted May 8, 2013 Hello, This has always plagued my mind, why is there so much hate for Internet Explorer and so much love for Chrome? I'm an IE user btw and I <3 IE10, so if you are going to shoot me, make it quick. Chrome publishes all this propaganda about all the amazing features it offers, but then I look at Internet Explorer, and it does the same thing, ok it defaults to Bing, but a couple of clicks and you have Google, or yahoo, or ask Jeeves (assuming that's still a thing). I often ask people why they use chrome (showing my tattoo of IE symbol (metaphor)), and they yell at me saying its so much faster, really people believe that? even if it is faster, people explain its noticeably faster. I just did a quick test, [searching on google] can cats fly - IE 10: 0.20s Chrome: 0.19s a whole .01 of a second (but bare in mind I have a few more pug ins on IE) So why all the hate for IE? What browser do you use and why? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STAFF and pupils at Langford Budville Primary School are celebrating their latest OFSTED report.
The school has been judged as 'good' and head teacher Keith Sharpe says the findings reflect the good work being achieved in the school.
He said: "This small school on the outskirts of Wellington achieves very good results with the children, and not just academically.
"It's also about the whole child and the report reflects the ach-ievements of all.
"I'm very pleased with the qua-lity of teaching and the attainment of the children."
The report highlights many positives, saying reception children "get off to a good start", and adds that Mr Sharpe and the staff have "created a caring and position school ethos for pupils to learn and develop."
It also mentions the role of teachers, highlighting the "challenging and stimulating" tasks they set the school's 36 pupils.
Mr Sharpe said: "Everyone at the school is thrilled with the report and we feel it accurately represents what the school is achieving.
"While it's a small school it's doing a very good job providing good education and support for the pupils."
Parents have also expressed their delight at the latest OFSTED findings.
Phil Humble said: "This is fantastic news for the school.
"I've also felt the teaching was really good and this just goes to show it.
"It's such a warm, friendly school which all the children really enjoy attending."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Just days after the men's basketball team was allowed to begin full practices, head coach Lance Randall announced the final 2013-14 regular season schedule. The Lions' squad, which consists of eight newcomers, is set to compete in 29 total games while playing 17 home contests.
Following a season that led them to the NCAA Regional Tournament, Saint Leo will compete in 12 non-conference match-ups in November and December before hitting their stride in the Sunshine State Conference portion of the schedule in January and February.
"We try to play the toughest non-conference schedule we can," says Randall. "I feel that playing against great non-conference opponents helps us prepare for the always rugged Sunshine State Conference."
During the 2012-13 season, Saint Leo played an exclusively Division II regular season schedule, and won a school record 22 games, including their first in the NCAA Regional Tournament.
The Lions will hit the court for the first time this season in Puerto Rico, where they will be participating in the 2013 Mayaguez Basketball Classic on Friday, November 8. In the three day round-robin, Saint Leo will face opponents such as Florida Memorial, P.R.-Ponce, and the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras. The following Tuesday, the Lions will battle the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez before returning stateside.
Upon their return, the Randall's squad will host five consecutive home games against some of the nation's top-ranked Division II programs.
"We have built a great following for men's basketball here last year and our large crowds were a huge part of our home court advantage," says Randall. "I hope that our fans enjoy cheering this year's Lions as much as we enjoy coaching them."
With home-court advantage in their favor, the Lions will face Shorter, a contender for the Gulf South Conference title, in their home opener on Sunday, November 17. Last year, Saint Leo hosted Shorter for their 2012-13 home opener, and the Lions were able to pound home a 15-point victory.
Two days later (Nov. 19), the Lions will do battle against a familiar regional foe when the Flagler College Saints enter the Marion Bowman Center for Saint Leo's second home contest of the year.
The following Friday (Nov. 22), Saint Leo will face the visiting Virginia Union Panthers, who have won three National titles in the last 20 years and have seen multiple players make it to the NBA, but fell to the Lions last year by a 76-49 score. The next day (Nov. 23), the Lions will take on the No. 4 University of South Carolina at Aiken.
Rounding out a five-game home stand, Saint Leo will then host one of the best Division II teams in North Carolina when Elizabeth City State visits Saint Leo, Fla.
After a week of practice, the team will then head to Winter Park, Fla. to take on the Rollins College Tars in the Lions' only Sunshine State Conference game in the 2013 calendar year. In the 2013 NCAA Regional Tournament, Saint Leo made history by taking home their first-ever NCAA tournament win when they defeated the Tars by a 59-53 score.
For the rest of the month of December, Saint Leo will face three strong regional opponents, beginning with Albany State on December 7. After almost a two week break, the Lions will take the court again against Palm Beach Atlantic (Dec. 20), before hosting the perennial NCAA tournament team, Shaw University on December 22.
The turn of the 2014 year will signal the final stretch of Sunshine State Conference contests for the Lions, as they kick of the year with a home game against Florida Tech on January 4.
Shortly after, Saint Leo will face the University of Tampa in their first conference road trip of the 2014 year (Jan. 4), just before heading to Miami Shores, Fla. for the Lions' match-up against Barry.
The team will then return home for a three-game home stand, which they will kick off with a match-up against the reigning 2013 Sunshine State Conference tournament champions, Florida Southern, on January 15.
The following weekend, Saint Leo will host Palm Beach Atlantic for a non-conference regional contest (Jan. 18), just before hosting the Eckerd College Tritons (Jan. 22).
Rounding out the month of January, the Lions will hit the road to south Florida for road games against Lynn University (Jan. 25) and Nova Southeastern (Jan. 29).
The start of February will signal the final trek through the conference schedule for the Lions, as Saint Leo jumpstarts the month with a home game against Rollins on February 1.
Following a mid-week trip to Melbourne, Fla. where the Lions will play Florida Tech (Feb. 5), Saint Leo will host back-to-back SSC matches against Barry (Feb. 8) and Tampa (Feb. 12)
On February 19, the Lions will head to Lakeland, Fla. to take on Florida Southern in what is always an exciting SSC matchup. The final two games of February will feature a weekend home game against Lynn (Feb. 22) and a mid-week trip to Eckerd (Feb. 26).
In the Lions' final contest of the 2013-14 regular season, Saint Leo will host Nova Southeastern on March 1 when they honor their seniors on senior day.
Last season, the Lions finished the year as the Sunshine State Conference regular season co-Champions. This year, the Sunshine State Conference tournament will be played at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Fla. The tournament dates have been set for Wednesday, March 5 to Sunday, March 9, 2014.

Reynod - Saturday, September 01, 2007 - linkAnother great article Anand.
Informative and helpful.
I really hope your doing something similar with the new AMD cpu and will wait and see what you write.
Like many people thinking of upgrading I await what AMD will offer after the 10th of Septenber ... but its clear Intel have a range of strong offerings at present.
All we need now is to see what CPU design Nvidia are cooking up ... heh heh.
We might end up with 3 competing complete platform (cpu, chipset, graphics) providers ... ??
Maybe that's why Intel is trying so hard to crush AMD at the moment ... wars on two fronts are much more difficult than one !! Reply
Lord Evermore - Sunday, August 26, 2007 - link
Under load however (running our WME9 test) the total system power consumption gap increases to 12.6W
189.1 - 170.3
I don't see a 12.6W power difference in that chart. I see 18.8W. 12.6 isn't even the amount it changed from the idle draw.
At least you got the percentage calculations correct for a decrease (difference/Conroe instead of difference/Penryn). Reply
Lord Evermore - Sunday, August 26, 2007 - linkFor that matter, I just noticed the percentage was measured using the correct 18.8W measurement. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Saturday, August 25, 2007 - linkGreat review! This is valuable information, to know how Intel's next-year CPUs will perform. Reply
Carfax - Saturday, August 25, 2007 - linkDoes anyone know what resolution the game benches were run at?
These benchmarks vary considerably compared to the HKepc ones, which could be explained if Anandtech ran the benches at a higher resolution compared to HKepc. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Saturday, August 25, 2007 - linkYou're missing the whole point. The two sites aren't necessarily using the same graphics card, other hardware, exact test conditions, same driver, etc. If you want to see framerates, read a regular review on a game or graphics card. Anandtech's benchmark set the resolution very low so that it would be CPU-limited. Reply
ShowsOn - Friday, August 24, 2007 - linkI'm wondering if the x264 video encoder could become a new benchmark?
There is already a set of benchmark files http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=122318">herethat provide a consistent encoding task.
Numerous people in the doom9 forums have already run the benchmark, http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/8092/couper12nx...">which has produced the following chart.
It would be fascinating to see how much faster - clock for clock - the penryn cores are on this particular task. Reply
coldpower27 - Thursday, August 23, 2007 - linkI must have missed it by could you tell me what resolutions you used in the gaming tests? Reply
DLeRium - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkI'm sorry but anytime you introduce a new CPU we all expect IN DEPTH articles. No, we don't want a quickie that just touches a few things and a few benchmarks so you can shoot this out the door and say "Hey! I got the first article out!"
Sure it may be a preview because the chips aren't officially out yet and these are merely engineering samples.
The biggest complaint was OCing. If you're not going to even do a little minor OC with different voltages, then what the hell is the point of putting a tease up there.
Anyways.. seriously. I expect more detailed articles than this if you're going to review some piece of hot technology... Reply
DarthAgitated - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkMy god man.. Did you pay for this article.. Did someone give you a choice to read this article or spend 15 minutes with a model and you chose the article?
It's a preview. Of a cpu that's not coming for another couple of months. From a company that usually makes people sign NDA's up the ying yang so you can't report on anything.
Damn them for managing to get a cpu in advance and telling us something about it. And in case you don't know, intel can tell when a cpu is overvolted. But I suppose they should have possibly fried it or hand it back to their mole and let him try and explain to Intel why their cpu was overvolted or fried. Maybe you can tell the people at anandtech how far they can overvolt a new 45nm cpu..
Knowing what a cpu can be overclocked to on standard voltages is kind of a good thing to know. Knowing something about performance is probably a good thing to know. Any info is good info.
Unless it's a press release. Then it's usually useless.
Thanks for being a downer.
me Reply
DLeRium - Thursday, August 23, 2007 - linkMy God. Then maybe they should think about reviews when dealing with NDAs. Just because I didnt have to pay for this article doesn't mean people can't complain.
Remember those Conroe reviews done by HardOCP or something that were just GPU limited? Of course people have a right to complain about crappy reviews. Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkNothing here but ad hype for sure. Intel looks desperate. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Saturday, August 25, 2007 - linkSince when does a process node transition mean the company is desperate?? Reply
fitten - Thursday, August 23, 2007 - linkWhy would Intel be despirate? you think 2GHz Barcelona (which isn't the desktop chip) scares them? Reply
coldpower27 - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - link
Assuming that a E6550 consumes 8-10W at idle and 55W at load which shouldn't be too far off from the proper numbers and is a reasonable estimate.
Then your looking at 3-5W for idle and something like 37W for load, very impressive considering the Wolfdale SKU's on the desktop are going to retain their 65W TDP. Reply
n0nsense - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkwtf ?
32bit system performance tests on 64bit hardware ?
lets test it on PII.
if you can't find native 64bit soft for MS, look at real OSes.
need new optimizations ? compile open source programs with new flags enabled.
and one more thing.
compilation test will be very good Reply

Penryn enhancements indeed Reply
TA152H - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkI somehow remember having an argument with all the dolts that were claiming massive IPC improvements for this core and how hopeless the Barcelona was since it would be against the Penryn. It surely does not look to be impossible to me, not even close. Considering the massive improvements AMD gets over time with their process technology, and large improvements vis-a-vis the K8, this looks to be the most competitive the companies have been for quite some time.
Not that I am bad mouthing Intel, they did an amazing job not only increasing the size of the cache, but also lowering the latency. The problem is that so many people were expecting the impossible, and now are disappointed because they really don't know anything about microprocessors. It's not Intel's fault, it's still a great product. Lower power, better performance and smaller size compared to a fantastic processor is something they deserve a lot of credit for. But, it's not going to walk away from the Barcelona, especially on servers.
Higher clock speeds would probably show greater improvement, since it's got a larger cache, and going to four cores would as well, but the reality is, it's not going to be a big improvement on most apps. It's also going to be relatively simple for AMD to increase cache sizes, particularly since they added wait states to the L2 cache so it could be bigger if they chose (again illustrating how amazing Intel was for increasing size and speed).
By the time this processor is out though, AMD will not only have corrected the most egregious speed path problems for Barcelona, but they will also be further along on their 65nm process, and if history is any indication (and it normally is), AMD will do a great job in improving their manufacturing on 65nm. All in all, it's not going to be easy for Intel. Or AMD. Reply
AbRASiON - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkI believe those idiots were hopeful of extremely high clocks actually.
It doesn't matter how performance is delivered, 10mhz of ultra optimised CPU or 10ghz of poorly optomised, all we want is speed and AMD is yet to show us the money. Reply
zsdersw - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkThe idiots who predicted a "huge improvement" existed only in your mind, I suspect.. or were never a group of any nominal size to begin with. Reply
sprockkets - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkNot really. Search even this site and find stories like "30% improvement over Conroe." They painted Penryn as if it was such a major advance in technology that it would obliterate anything or anyone period had on the planet. Reply
sprockkets - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkYeah, here:
http://www.dailytech.com/Intel+Unveils+Penryn+Perf...">Daily Tech Penryn "Benchmarks"
Funny How Intel benchmarked the processors and got "amazing" benefits over the previous generation. Of course they didn't do a clock for clock comparision. Reply
coldpower27 - Thursday, August 23, 2007 - linkMost people were claiming was 5-10% improvement per clock over Conroe, and that is what the data from Anandtech and HKEPC shows, if your talking overall improvements that is trickier as it would depend on what the clockspeed as well, so up to 30%, is not impossible given the right circumstances and depending on what Yorkfield XE tops out at.
Performance is not derived from just a clock per clock comparison, you also have to take into account overall clockspeed increases, cache, FSB. Don't expect any corporation to put their processors in any sort of unflattering light, it is in their best interest to make themselves look good, not bad.
zsdersw - Thursday, August 23, 2007 - linkNowhere in the comments of that story did anyone make any wild performance claims. Reply
sprockkets - Friday, August 24, 2007 - link
Video encoding shows an 18 percent improvement with the new Penryn-family when it comes to H.264 encoding. DivX encoding shows a 52 percent improvement with the quad-core Penryn over the previous Core 2 Extreme QX6800. The dual-core Penryn processor is able to beat out the quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6800 by 42 percent when it comes to DivX encoding. Cinebench R9.5 and R10 beta reveals performance increases of 25 percent when comparing the quad-core Penryn and Core 2 Extreme QX6800 processors.
No, I don't see any inflation here at all.
And if AMD can make a processor run at 3ghz on 90nm, uh, yeah, kinda expect a processor 2 generations down the process line to be able to reach 3.3ghz without issues. Reply
zsdersw - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkAgain, not a group of people big enough to be significant. Reply
dualathlon - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkWould you please include some wu benchmarks from FAH ?

Rebel44 - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkI would also like to see some F@H benchmarks. Reply
conquerist - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - link1) What HSF was used for the OC? The stock HSF or the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme?
2) As mentioned before, how does it OC at a higher Vcore?
3) Could you use x264 for the multimedia tests? I suggest this because x264 is open source, and so you can use Intel Compiler 10 or GCC 4.3 with the msse4.1 switch to compile it in SSE4.1! It would be interesting to see how Conrow vs. Penryn SSE3 vs. Penryn SSE4 compare.

vailr - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkHow long will the socket 775 (for desktop machines) be around?
Has Intel given a timeline forecast for replacing 775 with some other CPU socket? Any idea whether current P35 boards will support the 32 nm. Gesher CPU (assuming those will still be socket 775 form factor)? Reply
zsdersw - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkSocket 775 will likely disappear with the introduction of Nehalem, so no.. P35 boards will almost certainly *not* support Gesher. Reply
RamarC - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkit's too bad that an upgrade now probably won't be able to handle anything beyond penryn. still a 3ghz quad core for $300 is fantastic considering that i've got 3.4ghz dual core space heater now. Reply
zsdersw - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkWell, I mean, seriously.. socket 775 has been around for a long time. The same people who complain about having to buy a different motherboard are probably the same people who would complain that they aren't getting any new features if motherboards didn't have to be changed as often. It makes no sense, but then again, that's never stopped anyone from complaining.. to be sure.
I'm not saying you're one of those people, though. Reply
vailr - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkAlso, the TigerDirect.com price you have listed of $569.99 for the "Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor" is off.

kleinwl - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkWhy did you not post the benches for the OC of 3.22? or better yet, jack up the voltage to get a 3.33 and benchmark that? Then we could figure what the EXTREME EDITION cpu is going to do. Reply
Roy2001 - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkI guess Intel does not allow him to do that. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkThats a good point. To release benchies at this time must have intel's OK to do so. I am sure if they let him, he would have published. And here we are all complaining LOL . Reply
gigahertz20 - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkWhat a tease, Anand didn't even raise the CPU core voltage. I figured you would change the CPU core voltage to see how far you could overclock this beast, right after you found 3.22GHz was your max overclock at stock voltage. I want to know how far you can push this. No soup for you! Reply
OddTSi - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkExactly. As I was scrolling down that overclocking page I actually expected them to show what they did (how high it goes without a voltage bump) and then to cap it off at the very bottom with a "oh, here's the absolute highest we could get it to" screen shot.
Go back in the lab Anand, stick the biggest HSF you've got on there and crank it up until it can't go up anymore and tell us what you got it to. ;) Reply
gigahertz20 - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkAnand has been slacking, first in the Q6600 GO article he forgets to mention what HSF he used and now he forgets or didn't want to raise the stock core voltage to see what the maximum overclock is? Bahhhhhh, I nominate all articles to either be written by Wesley Fink, Gark Key, Jarred Walton, or Derek Wilson. Reply
NullSubroutine - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkI would like to see such benchmarks as well, if you have the time constraints to do so.
It would be interesting to compare 3.33 C vs 3.33 P to see what kind of scaling difference there is between the two. And just overall max clock with volt increase you could get with revision A0 (with benchmarks) it would be a good performance preview for a ways down the road. Reply

I second that. Hopefully the next review has what we all came to see = )
Seriously though. since the cache has improvements, and is also larger, we may well see it scale better. In other words its an avg of 5% faster at a meager 2.33 ghz, but what about 3.5, or higher which I am sure could be achieved by raising voltage. It may be quite a bit more. Reply
Hippiekiller - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkIm almost glad (almost) to see that the performance difference isnt that great. It would be interesting to see each company have similar performing parts.
My question is would similar performance lead to an even more aggressive price war then the one we have seen recently? Or, would each company just stop at a relatively higher price then we currently see, not willing to slash unless it has to in order to counter the others move. Reply
Spoelie - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkYou're not taking into consideration the higher clock speeds penryn will undoubtly have, which moves the performance delta up a bit more than the 5% at the, most likely, equal pricepoints of conroe chips. Reply
FujiT - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - linkok, Penryn is a die shrink with some tweaks. The average boost is 5% and that's not including the boost from SSE4 which pretty much results in a 100% boost in performance.
And the retail Penryns will probably overclock better. The initial stepping supposedly had some problems reaching the high clock speeds that Intel promised, but it's been said that the new stepping solved that problem.
With Penryn, the performance boost not only comes out from the IPC increase, but the performance in clock speed. It's supposed to top out at 4 GHz (according to Intel) and Nehalem is supposed to pick up where Penryn left off clock speed wise. Reply
duploxxx - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - linkthe IPC performance increase is minimal, when a program likes more cache it is faster, if not it is the same. these benches from anand show it.
we'll see how far it will go with penryn and GHZ, in Q1 2007 they were not sure if they were able to fit the 3,33GHZ into a 120W TDP !!!!
About you're future... if it said by intel then leave it here out of the comments to ne you are just a fanboy, Nehalem is still vaporware and you guys are already hyping it... memorycontroller and fast huge on die caches do not work together....!!!!!
@anand, what was the stepping of you're conroe versus wolfdale. Reply
fitten - Thursday, August 23, 2007 - link
memorycontroller and fast huge on die caches do not work together....!!!!!
Why do you say that? Reply
GhandiInstinct - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - link
Wolfdale is faster clock-for-clock, but keep in mind that you won't see Wolfdale until Q1 of next year and the performance advantage simply isn't great enough to justify delaying a purchase by 6+ months if you need a system now.
I love having an answer to the #1 question in my head for months.

AFC Wimbledon chief executive Erik Samuelson has revealed axed manager Terry Brown's replacement could be unveiled within a week.
The 60-year-old boss and assistant Stuart Cash were sacked after a board meeting on Wednesday having bid an emotional farewell to fans at
Kingsmeadow in the aftermath of Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Torquay United.
First team coach Stuart Bassey will be in temporary charge for tomorrow's trip to Wycombe Wanderers, but his reign is expected to be short-lived after the Dons took the unusual step to publish an online job advert for a new chief hours after confirming Brown's exit.
Applicants have until September 25 to declare their interest in the role – with former Brentford boss Andy Scott among the first to throw his hat into the ring.
And Samuelson insisted there was no reason why fans could not expect a quick turnaround when it came to appointing Brown's successor providing they are the right man for the job.
"We'll come up with a long list, which will be whittled down to three or four and they will be invited in for an interview," he revealed.
"This will take place over the next week or so.
"In terms of the timescale, there is no reason why something done quickly cannot be considered and we will do that.
"I believe there are several candidates out there who we would look very seriously at, and I believe some of those several would suit us very well.
"I don't think there is anyone in football who is not aware that the vacancy exists, it is just about making sure they understand the rules.
"We just need to make sure we meet them, have a strong look at what they've done and make sure they fit our profile due the unusual nature of our club.
"We might get something wrong, but it is a system that has worked well for us in the past – it is how we recruited Dave Anderson and Terry Brown."
League Two title winner Scott – who has the backing of Dons defender Pim Balkestein and was a face in the crowd on Tuesday night – will top the list of favourites for the job, while romantics might
suggest club legends Lawrie Sanchez and Marcus Gayle are in the frame.
But rather than answer the advert, Scott revealed he might prefer the Dons to approach him.
"If Wimbledon make it clear they want to interview people then I will throw my hat in the ring," he said.
"But I want to wait until the dust settles before saying too much out of respect for the job Terry has done.
"Should Wimbledon approach me I would not turn down an invitation to speak to them.
"We will see what their plans are, they might interview people or they might have someone in mind."
Brown's exit sparked a wave of tributes on the internet, with former Dons striker Jon Main tweeting: "Hope it's not true. Terry brown you gave me the best 4 years of my life :)."
And Samuelson could not hide his gratitude for Brown's part in the club's history.
He said: "The fans deserved his thanks and Terry deserved their's. Wthout him we would not be in the Football League."

Fall Boot Guide 2013
Ireland Basinger Baldwin is 17 years old. She stands 6'2", weighs 145 pounds, and wears size 27 jeans. She is turned off by men who are moodier than she is. She would rather "get trampled by a herd of rhinos than have to deal with traffic and parking tickets." Her boyfriend has never pressured her sexually. She accidentally exposes her nipples on occasion. She tried smoking weed and hated it. And I knew all of this before I met her. Because the model and aspiring actress shares such personal tidbits on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Vine—accounts she updates upwards of 30 times a day.
This is the kind of behavior we've come to expect from Generation Overshare, with its hordes of hyperconnected communicators—whether you consider them brand builders or fame-mongers—attempting to tweet their way out of obscurity. It's a little more complicated, though, coming from the daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin—a girl who spent her adolescence wanting no part of the spotlight, who says, "I would look at [my parents] and go, 'Jesus, how miserable is that?' I didn't want to be followed."

But self-contradictions are a teenager's right, and Ireland—a perfect cocktail of Basinger's looks and Baldwin's rapid-fire, unruly wit—comes by hers naturally enough. In March she signed with top modeling agency IMG, christening the deal with a swimsuit spread in the New York Post, a maneuver that seemed to say: Ready or not, here I come! Sometime in the past couple of years, she says, the lightbulb flicked on: Raised on Baldwin's 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live appearances, it suddenly occurred to her that she might want to be in the family business after all. Specifically, she thought, as a comedy writer. So she left L.A.'s tony Sierra Canyon School in order to be homeschooled (she hopes to finish later this year), the idea being that she'd spend more time in New York with her dad, maybe take some improv classes. It was Basinger who urged Ireland to give modeling a try first. "She thought it would be good for my confidence," Ireland says, "because I never thought of myself as a pretty girl."
In person, Ireland is not pretty. She's drop-dead gorgeous. And she has the air of someone much older than 17. When we meet at Manhattan's NoMad Hotel library for coffee, she is fresh from a casting in Williamsburg and has already assumed the look of a professional model, in a white tank top and black short-shorts. She speaks slowly, in a husky voice, her deep-set, dark blue eyes focused as she gesticulates with willowy arms. But beyond the impressive outward polish, she's still a teenager—hyperbolic and unfiltered in her speech; pausing to Instagram the cover of a Sylvia Plath biography she's pulled off the shelf. ("She's one of my favorite authors.") And she's candid about the learning curve that comes with growing into such an adult-size body, explaining that her center of gravity is so high, she's constantly falling over things (and people). "I imagine how hard it might be to walk down the runway," she says, the sight of one folded, ironing-board-length leg underscoring her point. "Me in heels is, like, deforesting the forest, knocking trees completely timber!"

In the most celebrated game between Hawthorn and Sydney, the 2012 grand final, Lance Franklin's brilliance had made him influential, but his inaccuracy – 3.4 from eight or nine opportunities - made him a mixed blessing. The uncharitable view was that his errant left boot cost the Hawks the flag.
In Franklin's first game in red and white against brown and gold, history threatened to repeat. Buddy was brilliant, he was slick and was winning the ball and even holding his marks. He was moving fluently, he was too powerful and quick for the opponents who rotated on him. He was aggressive, bowling over Jordan Lewis from the first bounce.
Unlike Dale Thomas, Buddy had brought his best game to his first encounter with his old team. But he couldn't finish. Not until it was absolutely necessary. At the 15-minute mark of the second quarter, Franklin won a dubious free on the boundary just outside 50 metres. He played on instantly, ran that distinctive arc and sent a long shot that missed. Again. It was his sixth behind.
Few players in the game can generate as many shots in the congested game of 2014.
Only Travis Cloke could match Buddy for wasting hard-earned opportunities. Then, a minute or so after half-time, he outmarked Ben Stratton between the point and goal line and botched the banana. That made it 0.7 from seven attempts; none were easy, but he should have nailed a few.
At this point, we sensed that Franklin had developed some yips. This was seemingly confirmed later in the third quarter, when he again found found space and marked within range. This time, Buddy attempted to lay off a pass to Sam Reid and was intercepted by Taylor Duryea.
But you also guessed that if Buddy could actually kick a goal, he might kick another. So it proved. When Franklin slotted a tricky shot from 45 metres in the last quarter, he regained a lead that the Swans ought never to have lost.
Then, a few minutes later, Buddy produced one of those freakish goals, the kind that prompted the Swans to take leave of their dollars and senses and hand him a nine-year deal – he was slung in a tackle, yet managed to get boot to ball. He didn't think. He just did. The Swans had a lead of two kicks.
While Buddy botched his shots and kept the contest close, Kurt Tippett took his chances, in part because he'd played to his Tarzan strengths against a small Hawthorn defence and marked closer to goal.
Tippett booted four goals in three quarters. Sydney's new giant attack gave the Hawks grief, but not enough to kill the Hawthorn cockroach. After a terrible first quarter, Hawthorn's effort to work itself back, regain the ascendancy and then remain in the running was tremendous, given the roll-call of injuries and players absent.
No Luke Hodge, who withdrew, with hamstring soreness. No Sam Mitchell. Cyril Rioli, too, was out of the game, with an apparent hamstring twang, in the first minute after half-time.
In their absence, Shaun Burgoyne asserted himself in the third quarter.
To compound the drama, Hawthorn's other superstar, Jarryd Roughead had bumped ex-teammate Ben McGlynn high, in an early third-quarter collision that will surely see Roughie rubbed out.
Roughead was beaten for much of the evening, but did slot two goals in the last quarter that were responses to Buddy's crucial two-goal spurt. Franklin's first opponent was Josh Gibson, his closest friend from the Hawks.
But Franklin would be matched to others, including Kyle Cheney and Ryan Schoenmakers.
Buddy began the game by charging into the centre square at the opening bounce and bumping – very legitimately – another old mate, Lewis, who sprang instantly to his feet.
Franklin played his part, but his role should not be overrated. Dan Hannebery and another former Hawk, Josh Kennedy, were really the major architects, and while Buddy had his moments, it was Hannebery's opening half – particularly a ballistic first term – that put the Swans in a pole position.
Franklin had been wasteful, yet he had elevated himself to something approaching his brown and gold version. On a night when his old team fought and couldn't overcome the combination of a sluggish start and lost personnel, he finished badly, then finished well.
And 2.7 in a winning side beats 3.4 in a losing grand final.

OCALA, Fla. - Authorities say a 15-year-old boy is accused of slitting the throat of his girlfriend's mother.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports the woman is recovering after live-saving surgery on Sunday.
Deputies say woman's 13-year-old daughter lured the woman into the garage early Sunday, where the boyfriend attacked her. He went inside and held the knife to the father's throat but was persuaded to take the bleeding woman to the hospital.
According to an arrest affidavit, the teen dropped her off at the emergency room and hospital officials called the sheriff's office.
The teens were arrested hours later. The boy told authorities that he and his girlfriend planned the attack because they wanted to be together. They each face conspiracy to commit murder and attempted second-degree murder charges.

• dignity •
Pronunciation: dig-nê-ti • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1 The pride of knowing you're worthy of respect or esteem; nobility. 2. The respect and honor associated with an important position. 3. An important position, especially in government or the church.
Notes: This word is seldom used in sense (3) above in the US, but it has left traces in other words. A dignitary is a person holding high office. The verb from this noun, dignify, means to "invest with dignity, honor". The verb also has an abstract noun, dignification, and a personal one, dignifier.
In Play: Dignity usually flows from pride: "When Hermione threw her martini in Gladstone's face, he gathered all the dignity he had left and replied, 'Thanks, I needed that. It's stifling in here.'" It can be associated with people or positions in some organization: "Mortimer ran for dog-catcher because he wanted to return to the office the dignity that he thought it deserved."
Word History: English borrowed this one, as usual, from Old French dignité "dignity", which it inherited from Latin dignitas "worthiness". The Latin word is a derivative of dignus "worth", a word that it inherited from Proto-Indo-European dek-no- "to take, accept". We borrowed this same French word at a different stage of development as the English word dainty. In the 12th century Old French had a word deintié or deinté "pleasure, tid-bit", the remnant of Latin dignitatem "beauty, greatness, worthiness", also from dignus. (French is known for eliminating certain sounds and letters from words over the course of their development from Latin.) It entered English as deinte "excellent, excellence", but over the years the meaning slipped from this sense to "delight, pleasure", then to "delicacy", and finally to what it means today. (We thank Annette Anderson with all the dignity we can muster for suggesting today's Good Word.)

Obligatory. Lindsey Vonn had surgery this past Sunday to repair her torn right ACL and MCL following a horrific crash that came in a Super-G race in Austria the week before. Doctors are confident that Vonn, an Olympic gold medal winner at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, should make a full recovery with aggressive rehabilitation, and that she should be able to return to competitive skiing at some point. I'm no kneeologist, but after seeing how awful her surgically repaired knee looks, I'm not so sure I concur with Vonn's surgeons… Vonn's gorgeous gams ain't so gorgeous anymore. Although this isn't the first time we've seen post-operative photos following terrible sports accidents, the shock value will always be there. You think you would be immune to the ghastly sight of a swollen, bruised knee with a couple of surgical scars on it, but you're not, and unless you're an orthopedic surgeon or combat medic, you probably never will be. Enjoy your dinner. [@lindseyvonn] The post This post-op picture of Lindsey Vonn's messed up leg reminds us that knee injuries are never good appeared first on Last Angry Fan.
I Had 3 knee surgerys that looks good I've seen worse all that is swelling that goes down in a few weeks and after movement. Please stop bashing the doctors and the surgery!
I'm an orthopedic surgical scrub tech. I assist the surgeon during surgery. Those post surgery pictures look just fine, especialy since she had an ACL and MCL repaired too. There is no outward signs of infection or swelling. The bruising is perfectly normal. Looks like she on the road to a great recovery.
Sorry after I posted I edited to include. I wasn't used to how the posting works here, and just replied under another post. I didn't mean this to say you were wrong in ANY way.
I had one and that's enough for me..acute rupture of the MCL and torn medial meniscus in 1980, 3 months in a cast from my hip to my ankle..was back playing softball in 6 months,,have never had a problem with it..had a really good surgeon..
Thanks for this ridiculous idiotic post targeted for teenage shock appeal.
I have 3 knee surgeries myself and her knee looks like its suppose after having sum1 stick and cut you I think the author really needs to get a dose of what happens and quite trying make like the DR is a crack pot look knee surgery or for that matter any surgery it not a bed of roses but she is a world class athlete and Im sure her surgen is the best of the beast and not uncle fred back yard surgen so really lighten up she will make a full recovery and b back doing what she does in no time!
Author is an idiot.
I've had 1 knee surgery, with another planned for May, and yeah. It looks bad. Because her injury *was* bad! There is nothing pretty about surgery. From my side of things, it looks pretty good. There's not a lot of really excessive swelling. She'll recover. It takes time and energy, and a lot of will.
lindsey stay away from that goofy tiger cub guy
I have been an Orthopedic Joint Replacement Physician Assistant for 32 years. In that time I have assisted on 100's of ACL's. This looks great!!!!! I would love to have seen the MRI. Good job Doctor.
Really? Surely you jest. The experts who have performed the operation a thousand time say she will most likely recover but you the admitted non-"kneeologist"... The most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time. Look at it this was now you can wait a year or two and if she never gets back to skiing because of unforeseen complications you'll get to say you were right. Please hold your breath until then as until then what you stated is stupid at best.
So long as she can flex and bend them up and around Tiger's neck, that's the important thing.
The ones she tweeted to Eldrick were taken about 8 inches higher up.
Yikes. I think all should knock off the excessive tweeting.
I've had worse. She'll be back.
Now you know why they knock you out! Just kidding, I had a total knee replacement six months ago and my knee looked even worse, she'll be fine, she's an athlete - used to training, pain, and recovering from injuries. The rest of you babies should just close your eyes and hope that you never get hurt.
What's the big deal? It looks like a knee that was injured, bruised, operated on, bandaged, swollen and... well... pretty much exactly what you'd expect it to look like.
I'm no Brain Surgeon or related to Albert Einstien but I have a Degree. My Degree is in Phsycology.My vast knowledge allows me laugh at will...
I have seen every grammatical error there is from whats posted and the comments on the Posts. I have come to good reason for such an event amongst Scholars. Herein lies the answer....
My hypothosis is this..It's Saturday night,people lose controll of their cognitave skills. Therein,everyone is skilled higher that any other. Makes perfect sense to me. Once you've had surgery you become an Authority to those who are gonna get it after you. They connect with you.
Then the next topic on medical problems changes before you get done advising others on the last topic because the thread is so long. Just keep typing your solutions to all the worlds problems,you will be heard. Thanks.
I agree with you. Everyones an expert
Looks the same except zoomed in.
I was a physical therapy assistant is the US Army back in the 1980's. I see that ACL repair has come a long way since then. It looks much better some of the ACL repairs that I saw back then, Orthopedic surgery back then was barbaric compared to today. Plus MCL repair, back then ether one alone would have been the end of her career.
I have had EIGHT surgeries on my left knee and is facing a ninth...This looks great compared to my first one...I know Ms. Vonn is up to the challenge of "aggressive therapy." I sure do look forward to seeing her back on the slopes.
I think she needs to invest in some new socks....
she will kick ass and take names next year. had 5 knee ops my self.stay away from that douch bag that plays with his putter. total piece of s.
Im a physician and with all the surgery she's had, Im sure that they will heal. The problem is that this isnt back yard softball or pick-up basketball.This Olympic downhill skiing. I know that she has the best Doctors and Tiger can give her knees a lot of exercise (opening and closing lol) but the fact remains, she still only has a year to get back into top form for the slopes- sooner for Tiger. I wish her luck. Only time will tell
Yow, I remember it all too well. I had a similar surgical procedure 40 years ago. My break rotated up into the knee joint resulting in incredible swelling. Did they use the electric drill to relieve the swelling faster? My recovery took almost a full year. The arthritis later in life will be almost as debilitating. I wish you all the best.
I think I would have rather seen RGIII's post surgical pics. Good Luck Lindsey, see you in 2014!
All of these "expert" bloggers sound like my sister; She barely made it through high school but had the foresight and great fortune to marry a well educated and successful physician. I refer to her as an 'armchair doctor' which pisses her off to no end! His speciality is G.I. but she's an expert on endocrinology, orthopedics, oncology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, hematology, rheumatology, psychology, anthropology, vascular surgery and carpentry. My point is: share your well wishes but STOP giving your damn (unfounded and dangerously uneducated) advice!
They fail to mention she also fractured her tibial plateau which is just below the knee, where the tibia becomes an anvil shape. Its a high impact fracture, and along with her ACL and MCL tear,the swelling would be quite remarkable. I had this same injury almost a year ago. The swelling in this photo is pretty minor compared to what mine looked like. Of course I'm not anywhere close to being in the physical shape she is in. I broke mine skiing, actually trying to avoid a collision with a snowboarder who cut me off and failed to stop to see if I needed any help. I've been skiing for 30+ years and never had a single injury, until age 47. Best of luck to her.

A teenager pleaded guilty to possession of an imitation firearm at Wimbledon station in court.
Philippe Valapinee, of Norbury, Croydon, was arrested at Wimbledon Station on Sunday, 6 April following reports of a firearms incident.
Armed officers were called to the station at 4.27pm on Sunday, April 6 and arrested Valapinee and another 18-year-old man.
There are no reports shots were fired or anyone was injured.
The second man was later released with no further action.
Valapinee admitted the offence at Wimbledon Magistrates Court yesterday.
He was bailed, to return for sentencing on April 23.
Police are hunting for a third man who was also reported to be at the scene.

OK, so red makeup has been around since the beginning of beauty time. But this season's runways showed a few new ways to wear the classic beauty trend. From far-out color combinations to red eye shadow, these innovative options will inspire you to revamp the red makeup you already own. Here are 10 fresh ways to incorporate brick, scarlet, and oxblood shades into your seasonal routine.

1) I am not completely sure what to make of this Game 5, and from the array of comments last night (with more to come today, no doubt) not sure what you guys make of it either. Do you look at the start, which wasn't as bad, probably, as some of the other games, but ended up 3-0 on five shots? Do you look at the comeback and take from that, because even though one goal was fluky and another was an absolute gift, the Rangers did take control of the game for a long stretch? So, did they figure out something? Or do you look at it as a waste of a comeback because of the final result (some complete knucklehead, who called them losers and overpaid, among other niceties, suggested they would have been better off packing it in at 3-0 and conserving energy for Game 6, which, if we had a prize for dumb comment of the year, might be a winner)?
2) The thing that makes me wonder if they did figure out something, if they did find a way to finally outplay the Devils for long stretches — which they will now need to do for most of the next six or more periods — is something Brad Richards said, to paraphrase: That the offense is sometimes easier to come by when you get behind and let it fly a little bit. I don't think the Rangers want to open up and let fly. But they do need to do a lot of the things they did late in the first and throughout the second and early part of the third. I don't know that they can.
3) That said, these guys have done whatever needs to be done for 101 games now. They will approach it as "win one game." And I expect they will play well tomorrow. And I will be the least shocked person on the planet if they're playing Game 7 Sunday.
4) And by the way, you guys know that Game 6 will be played on May 25, the 18-year anniversary of the Captain's guarantee and hat trick (plus assist) against the same team, the same goalie, on the road, in the same Eastern Conference final, right? And that Game 7, if needed, will be played on May 27, the 18-year anniversary of Stephane Matteau's double-OT winner against the same team, the same goalie, in the same building, in the same Eastern Conference final (with the Western champ already decided and on its way to New York/New Jersey for Games 1 and 2)?
5) I know a lot of you were on Henrik Lundqvist last night, especially for the Travis Zajac goal. And I definitely thought he looked to be fighting it a bit. But, seriously, the first goal is a wide open rebound, the second I think hit the skates of two players, the fourth was a wide-open redirection. Maybe without the Zajac goal, the Rangers win. Maybe if he makes a miraculous save on one of the others, as we've become accustomed, they win. But he surely ain't a goat in this game. And the guy down the other end was worse.
6) In fact, Lundqvist's best save of the game came against Richards, on Richards' best shot of the game. Holy shishkebob. Richards had a good chance early, a slapper on which Carl Hagelin was robbed on the rebound. But overall, I thought he got a lot less done without Gaborik, than Gaborik got done without Richards. Actually thought Gaborik was pretty good.
7) Beast of the Game, though: Ryan Callahan. Scored the goal off his foot, threw some absolute bombs of body checks, seemed to be there for every blocked shot or broken-up play, put another one behind Martin Brodeur and off the far pipe (what if that one goes in?), and just led the way he so often does, even coming off what I thought was a stinker in New Jersey in Game 4, and even playing with one hand on his stick most of the night.
8) Having both Brandons in the game, Dubinsky and Prust, I thought helped in some of the gritty areas where the Rangers have lacked. Prust had an interesting game with the goal, a couple of penalties, drew a couple, too, and the reverse Greg Louganis. I imagine Brendan Shanahan might call him for a hearing on that dive. Also thought the Rangers' fourth line had some struggles all night, especially early, but also a few good shifts.
9) How good was Ruslan Fedotenko in this game?
10) Speaking of blame, a lot of people are jumping on Michael Del Zotto for the winning goal, when I thought Richards skated past his check, and Carl Hagelin was late getting back. I'm not sure who was supposed to pick up Ryan Carter, but nobody did. Ballgame.
11) Del Zotto had his shaky moments, for sure, inlcuding the first goal, but who didn't on the defense? Marc Staal wiped out on the 2-0 goal. McDonagh got obliterated by Bryce Salvador on the 3-0 goal. Dan Girardi three times whiffed on passes as if his stick blade was soft rubber.
12) Some of you guys absolutely quit after 3-0, and I don't mean gave up on a comeback, but said you were going to stop watching and that the series was over. Does anybody really believe they have no shot in Game 6? Or is this a best-of-five and nobody told me?
13) Was this the last Garden game of the season? And if so, what are they going to do with all the leftover confetti and streamers and fireworks (not to mention the prime rib)?
14) Somebody call Mess.

text: AticAtac 335 Report post Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) I've done all the programming (iOS, Android) for a game, only the A.I. is left. It is basically a turn-based board game (see below description) with easy rules, hard to master ;) I bet i need to use minimax, but i would like to discuss here possible solutions and strategies. The game: - 2 players board game , turn based See Attachment for the playingfield Each player has a home-base with 5 slots, inside each 3 figures (column 0 and 7) Player1 (green) is playing from left to right and Player2 (magenta) right to left The "~" are traps, figures moving on these fields are destroyed On each move a player can do this: - move 1 or more figures out a base -> if there is a figure outside, that outside-figure is destroyed, doesn't matter friendly or not - move figures (not in the base) 1 field to left/right, -> 3 different moves possible: right, up-right, down-right. For top and bottom: If figure leaves the board it comes out on the other side. e.g. figure at row=0,col=2 moving up-right will land at row=4 , col=3 -> all figures must move, there is no selective move -> if a figure steps on a hostile figure, the hostile figure is destroyed -> if a figure steps into hosilte base, all hostile figures inside that slot are destroyed, the figure returns to home base (same slot on the opposite side) A player wins, once all hostile figures are destroyed. To be honest, I've already implemented an A.I. with minimax + alpha/beta pruning, but its not playing very well. One thing i need help is the evaluation function. I am not sure how handle it correctly. Any help welcome![img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img] Edited September 21, 2012 by AticAtac 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

George Ford is poised to make his Test debut in England's RBS 6 Nations showdown with Grand Slam-chasing Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.
The Bath fly-half has been included in the matchday squad for the pivotal title clash as support for Owen Farrell, who is first choice in the position.
If the 20-year-old is brought on against Ireland he is unlikely to be seen until the final quarter, but head coach Stuart Lancaster deems him ready for his international baptism.
"We feel that the time is right to include George Ford in the matchday squad," Lancaster said.
"A full three weeks of training has allowed George the chance to really understand the way we are developing our game.
"This time has been crucial in order for him to feel confident and ready in a key decision-making and leadership position.
"We are a looking forward to see him develop over the next few months."
There is a lack of in proven alternatives at fly-half should British and Irish Lion Farrell suffer an injury and England are keen to increase their depth in the position.
Ford's strong form for Bath this season has seen him installed as the player most likely to offer cover up to and including the 2015 World Cup, although Freddie Burns of Gloucester remains in contention.
Centre Brad Barritt has been dropped from the 23 to make way for Ford, who left Leicester for Bath last summer.
"Brad is obviously disappointed to miss out, but he's still a key member of our squad," Lancaster said.
"I'm sure he'll get further opportunities in the future. He hasn't had much game time since his injury and will benefit from some time with Saracens over the next two weeks."
England's hopes of naming an unchanged starting XV against Ireland have been derailed by the bulging neck disc sustained by tighthead prop Dan Cole.
Cole saw a specialist for a second opinion on Tuesday evening and the results of the assessment are now being considered by the England and Leicester medical teams with an update expected on Thursday.
David Wilson will fill the void left by Cole's absence, despite having just returned from a calf injury, with Henry Thomas on the bench.

Have you verified the MD5 number on the BT4?
I'm trying to load backtrack 4 from flash`s cdrom partiton, but i only see grub command promt. Is there solution to load it?
ISO backtrack 3 liveUSB perfectly loading from usb-cdrom partition.
Have you verified the MD5 number on the BT4?
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but BT4 is not going to fit on a cdrom. It's time to upgrade to a DVD.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Hi, a problem in the following:
As I already wrote, on a flash card I created CDROM partition with the image BT4. In VMWare loading goes normally, by on the real machine dont`t.
I have made the following:
with the help of mkisofs I created an empty boot disk (ISO) with the loader grub4dos:
mkisofs-R-b grldr-no-emul-boot-boot-load-size 4-o bt.iso. \ISO_ROOT
and add there folders boot and casper from original BT4 image, then save new image and wrote it on the flash`s cdrom partionon.
grub4dos is booting, I see BT4 menu, but after booting I only see:
sd 4:0:0:0 [sdc] Assuming drive cashe: write through
sd 4:0:0:0 [sdc] Assuming drive cashe: write through
sd 4:0:0:0 [sdc] Assuming drive cashe: write through
What`s wrong?
How long did you wait after these messages ?
Got the same with my EeePC901 and after a minute give or take it goes on ...
But what's with that cdrom iso filesystem ? Sounds unnecessarily complicated to me.
And like Amael said ... maybe there's not enough space on that special partition ?
BT3 fitted nicely on a cdrom ... BT4 doesn't ...

This happened once before but I can't remember how I fixed it.
Thanks Rick
Is there a demo of this page as it's very hard to determine the problem without been able to see the source in action.
Unfortunately there is not.
The page on my site is different than this one - I think?
Maybe I'll go check . . . wait one . . . yep it's got junk code that I have since deleted.
I find if I add this at the END of the iframe code . . . </Search>"> then the foorter shows up and the search in the iframe still works???
What the heck is going on here . . ?
Thanks . . . Rick
That would be correct. You've got that ugly a-- src= attribute on the iframe element open tag that doesn't get closed, and what you added closes it. My guess if the src attribute is incorrect (it should either go right after the criteria= or after the
 before the ).
Thanks Dave . . . I'll check it out.
OK . . . I placed the closing like this . . .
</Search>
Your browser does not support iframes.

. . . and it words well.
Not sure what is really right but I'll leave it that way for now.
Thanks again . . . Rick
I don't believe that would be correct; it is interfering with the closing P tag it probably actually goes before the P element and certainly NOT like:

Forgetting the proprietary markup in the example above the generic hideous IFRAME element usually takes the form:

There are also other pretty "mixed up" errors on the page but they aren't to do with the footer disappearing.
Robert - whats is the difference between framset and iframes? (I looked at your page)
And, what other "mixed up" errors can you identify for me?
I'm really trying to clean this html up before I use it to set new identical pages with different searches.
See www.propertieswithstyle.com and navigate to the CORONA DEL MAR MAP SEARCH PAGE
Thanks . . . Rick
The Frameset is a seriously outdated design method; creating frames or panes that could have multiple views within a browser window; each frame is a separate page. Whereas the Frameset is the container page but you don't actually see the contents of the Frameset page assuming the browser supports frames, which all the big five mainstream browsers can.
Whereas the IFRAME was a poorly designed and unsecured concept created by Microsoft in the Browser Wars to create an inline frame 'subwindow' within the main document. The OBJECT usually is considered the correct method for 'embedding objects' with such content inside a page.
Getting back to the anomalies (on the demo posted here only) since you have chosen IFRAME the document should be Transitional not Strict and have the namespace upon the HTML element. Then there is an erroneous FONT and size unit. The UL is also malformed - I am not sure what you were after there.
The IFRAME (excluding those proprietary tags) and the faulty SRC string, which I showed corrected in #7, i.e. how the P element should have been placed, etc.
Also the IFRAME has an erroneous CSS value appearing for the background colour most likely a style attribute was missing.
xhtmlcoder . . . you said . . .
"The OBJECT usually is considered the correct method for 'embedding objects' with such content inside a page."
I looked this up on W3c and then tried it in a blank.html page. (See below)

I do not know how to run this search like this.
I OBJECT can be used in lieu of iframe?
How does this work?
see www.propertieswithstyle.com/CORONA DEL MAR MAP SEARCH
can OBJECT be used on this page with it present content?
I cannot tell actually you how that embed page itself functions but if it were just a case of embedding the independent page using OBJECT the above would basically use this format:
<object width="880" height="1200" style="float:right" data="http://www.searchpoint.net/[...]</Search>">
Fallback message.
</object>
I've not added all that full search string to save space in the post but with OBJECT you use data NOT src and " is supposed to go after the string, and before the > in the opening OBJECT tag as I have here in the example above using the generic format: <object data="...">

</object>
I couldn't get this to work until I discovered this:
<object type="text/html" frameborder="0" width="880" height="1200" style="float:right"
Once I placed the type="text/html" in the object statement it worked well.
Now my question to you all is this, should I use Object or iframe, and why?
Also - can I use CSS and ALL it's abilities to manipulate an Object?
Even though I have frameborder = "0" there is still a border around the object. I would rather not have a border.
The <object> seems easier to work with than the iFrame - true?
Looking forward to seeing your comments.
Thanks everyone.
Yes sometimes you may require the mime type with the OBJECT though it doesn't have the frameborder attribute. The OBJECT is a replaced element so you cannot really alter the content as that's the embedded object but you could apply a border value, so think of it a little like an IMG.
When I use the iframe for a scr="http etc., the search loads much faster than when I use <object . . . data="etc.
At times the object remains blank and the data=" etc (my url) does not load at all.
I don't find an onLoad or any similar attribute for <object>.
Any ideas?
What is mime type and do I need it for a successful url deployment within <object?
I looked it up on W3c but didn't quite understand it.
The mime is only suggestive and since that page you were embedding was mainly a normal HTML text/html page rather than say a embedded Java or Flash object thus 'text/html' would be the most apt. If it's not loading occasionally you might still have a few syntax typos like before interfering.

I run a few different eCommerce sites in a couple of different industries and im looking for something to compare my conversion rate to. That way i can know how much i can possibly improve to or if im better spending more time in other areas or continuing with CRO.
So, for those who are running eCommerce stores, what are you currently converting at % wise and what do you think is a reasonable conversion rate range?
I have read in a few places that 2% is a good "average" for conversion rate.
If you have a site that has a geographically restricted audience, be sure to set your Google Analytics to only figure your conversion rate based on visitors from your targeted region...
One of my friend running ecommerce website gained conversion rate upto 10%, it is depends upon industry you are working in.
Here's an interesting thought. If you increase your conversion rate to 4% you double sales, even if your traffic doesn't change. This is something that's often missed by SEOers - getting a site to rank higher is usually not enough to actually really help the business by itself. You need a mix of conversion increase and SEO increase.
Generally Its 2% only. but If you improve your cart smart then you can reach upto 5%.. higher end..
You can see best article for it @ http://www.instantshift.com/2013/05/14/landing-page-trivia-which-will-give-you-a-massive-conversion/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+iShift+%28instantShift%29
It totally depends upon the products and services that you are selling on the internet. Some products are very common on the internet and people search them more on the internet or we can say that there search volume is more so the conversion rate will be more. On the other hand if the product is not so popular and have less search queries, then the conversion rate will be low.
Hi grace243 ,
Its not like that. when we are saying % then it will be ratio.. suppose for Particular shirts brand 20k people come to website and for mobile accessories its 50k then when we say 2% then 400 sales for shirts and 1000 accessories. possible..
Ecommerce conversion rate depend on keeping the site attractive and easy navigation, showcasing the products, browser friendly site, etc.
I agree that 1-3% is 'normal' and the leaning towards 3 side is good. Some sites get 10% or more but they are usually specialty sites that don't have much competition.
Tell us about your business.. One with the similar business in this forum may be able to share more relevant conversion rate with you to compare. Otherwise as other said it stays between 1% - 3% but what if your niche has conversion rate of 3%? would you be satisfied on 1% general rate? No you will need to improve it.
It helps to increase conversions if check out is shorter and the site is faster. Many people leave shopping cart without finishing a purchase if operation speed is too slow or check out is much longer then 4-5 clicks (operations). The best checkout takes 2-3 clicks to finish it.
I have raised my conversion rate on 2% after I had set the option to monitor abandoned carts and taken some measures. It turned out that the problem was in long checkout system. I made 2 steps instead of 6 and it helped. So, pay attention to this as well.
Yep. Also theres a big problem with trust/ You webstore MUST be trustworthy looking. Place trust saels as close to your customer as possible during check out process.
It's depends on niche. If you selling cheap toys for $1-5 you should have about 10% conversion rate. But if you selling yachts, 0.01% conversion rates will be good.And you should not forget about average visitor costs.
If you site is serving to business, the most possible conversion rate is 2% and if it is serving to customers then the possible conversion rate may vary from 15 to 25% depend on the industry.
