Opera Search(.ini) Editor
Not really sure where else to post this, so here I am.Couple Snapshots ago (for Opera Desktop Version) someone (dragoonadept) mentioned he wanted to be able to organize his Search Engines, and since OpSed seems to be MIA since about Opera 9.1 was released, I was bored, so I fired up VisualStudio.
I've spent about 3 hours on it total, so although it's basically complete in it's "Features", it's still pretty Alpha quality.
- Editing Search Engines (bout the same as the editor in Opera, but with all the options that I know of, or are in the INI)
- Sorting Search Engines (move up/down, sort alphabetically)
- Typical Tools (Add, Remove, Cut, Copy, Insert, Paste)
- Creates a back-up before saving (but only one backup, not sequential)
That's about all there is, and all it needs.
- Because Opera keeps the "Default" and "SpeedDial" search preferences in the main OperaPrefs.ini file, that file has to be within the same directory as Search.ini (which it should be anyways) at least to change those settings.
- May not work on Vista/Win7 (the application ran fine, but I couldn't find the actual search.ini to save my life, kept trying to load some quasi-ini-file)
- May not work at all, or improperly.
.Net Runtime 2.0 or better
Any feedback, bugs, etc welcome. Once I get it trimmed down a bit more, and commented more thoroughly , I'll release the "source", as crappy as it is.

Some questions:
1. How do i add or remove a Spacer into the ini with OSE
2. Why does Opera uses 2 or 3 search.ini's. In my case it uses the one from the profil folder, the main one from the Opera folder and also from the location folder. I had to delete all exept the one of the profil to get things well configurated.

You mean the dividers? like
On the first Tab of the Editor, check/uncheck "Has End Separator (In Context Menus)"
If you mean something else, then I'm not sure, maybe just add a blank (with no name) search?
As for your second question, I really don't know, I think it's probably because there are different coders/departments working on separate areas of Opera, or when they add a new feature that requires a bunch of preferences they just create a new INI for it rather than add it to an existing one?
I'm somewhat annoyed with it too, lol... because there are certain ones that it refuses to get rid of (some of the default searches it comes with will come back if deleted from search.ini).
There shouldn't be a "search.ini" in your main Opera folder though ("..Program Files\Opera\*") there should only be a "operaprefs_default.ini" which basically points to language files, and wether or not it's Multi-user or single-User.
At least one of the 'search.ini' is a back-up/default, used for when it's first installed, or if you "reset" your searches, and they come in a variety of languages, all the ones in "..\Opera\Locale\*" are for that purpose, probably better to just leave those alone.
Added: Simple Validation Before Loading INI (Looks For "Opera Preferences" In First Line)
Added: "Restore Search" To Tools Menu (Replaces Last Opened Search.ini With Default 'English' One)
Changed: "Launch Opera" Menu Item To "Open Opera"
Changed: Layout Of Help TreeView, Fixed And Added Some Entries

I came today to the knowledge of your program. Has been a godsend to me. Since Opsed didn't work anymore I had a huge mess with my searches and now is much better. Thanks.
Just posted to say that in my computer the program consistenly resets the separator flag, so everytime I edit something with it I have to check the separator checkboxes again. No big deal, but probably a bug.
Can anyone confirm?
I'll fix it, if you're still around in about 20 minutes I'll post another build, found 2 other "bugs" when I was testing that one too, so thanx again.

Maybe up/down arrows for moving between entries would be a convenient kerboard shortcut too.
Besides, tooltips show for controls in the search engine entries, but no for buttons like save, close, add, remove, move up, move down, etc. Will be nice to show the keyboard shortcuts in there.
The app is looking better and better. Congrats

You mean like, between Name, Address, Keyword, etc? If that's what you mean, pressing "Tab" will do that pretty well (and actually just noticed one that wasn't in proper tab order)
Edit: Hmm, or maybe you do mean up and down in the Search Engine list... :| (already fixed, I misplaced a line, over-writing the default behavior)
Having ToolTips for the buttons, seems kinda pointless to me, Add, Rem, Up, Sort, Down, kinda self explanitory... but hell I'll add them anyways...lol
Already got 8 changes/additions for v1.0.17 may as well add some more.

Yep. That was it.

No. I meant to have the keyboard shortcuts in the button tooltips. Kinda like it is now but adding the keyboard shortcut between parenthesis.
Besides, will it be too much work to make the program independent of the .NET runtimes? A lot of people hates them
Thanks for the work. You're a very dedicated guy.
Edit: Found the easter egg. LOL.

Originally posted by kokita:

Yes...lol, I'm somewhat kicking myself for starting it in VB.Net cause I never planned on it actually going anywhere, figured I'd be bored with it after a day or so, but VB.Net is quick as hell to code anything (with sacrifices in many ways) so I used that, and here it sits... and it's still interesting enough to piss around with when I'm bored.
Rebuilding it in C/C++, or even VB6, would be too much of a pain I think for such a simple tool that doesn't really have any "potential" to go anywhere, for the most part, I'm actually just hoping a bunch of people will like it/use it, and maybe it'll get the attention of some Opera Dev(s), and they'll add (ie: same idea, not same code) it's basic abilities to Opera.
It's main functions:
Move Up
Move Down
Being able to edit all the options for Search.ini
The rest is basically just unnecessary fluff...lol
Edit: Any more feature requests? ("I'll add the (Short-Cuts) to ToolTips) Although finding Bugs would be better... gets kind of annoying trying to find them myself.

Enable/Disable (Searches)
All work on multiple items once the Editor is hidden... I'll try and make it more intuitive (add a Menu Item to/enable/disable multi-select, then disable the editor if it's enabled), but that was the easiest way to do it because I didn't want to get all complicated and have the Editor handle multiple items at once.
I'll release another build soon, but I'm holding back on it because I want to switch it to MDI (so multiple INI's can be edited at the same time) for the next build, but that's more work than I want to bother doing on OSE right now...lol
Edit: a warning about "Paste" though (also with normal single item paste) if items are selected when you hit Paste, it will first replace the selected items, until there is no more searches to paste, or till it runs out of selected items to replace, then it adds them to the end of the list.
Should probably put some of this in the "Help"...lol, so I'll do that too for the next build.
(2009, Aug 13, v1.0.15)
Added: Multiple Item Select (When Editor Not Visible) Good For:

Note: No MDI, just a couple quick mods/fixes.
27. August 2009, 11:20:43 (edited)
Just a couple of points though
Firstly: Despite me using 'autosearch' & selecting the one of the 'search.ini' found (the one in 'Program Files/Opera 10'), no matter what I tried - the searches weren't being changed
I later discovered that there's ALSO a 'search.ini' in 'Documents and settings/username/application data/opera/opera 10' (In case you haven't figured it out - I'm using Opera 10 rc) & it's this one that Opera actually uses
According to your Help file it's suppose to search 'Documents and settings' so why didn't it find it - could it be that 'application data' is hidden ??
Secondly: Where's the 'Find in page' / 'History' disappeared to ? - is there a way to add them ?? - I find them useful
Thirdly: Any way of adding our own icons ?? - I have a few (non-standard) searches but I have a magnifying glass as an Icon & I'd like something more appropriate - In your program it only shows the 'default' icons location of 'http://redir.opera.....'
Anyway - keep up the good work
Edited: NVM about find/history - I found them in another 'search.ini' & copied/pasted them into my profiles 'search.ini'
When using your program the 'Search Engine Name' shows nothing - but under 'search type' column there's numbers different from a 'normal search' & your program doesn't have the option of changing the 'search type' code
I should be able to fix the Integrated Searches to show a label, I just never bothered to show one because they don't actually have one, and as far as I know, changing the name of it, has no effect on how they display in context menu's because they get their name from within the *.lng file.
Might be able to expect a new "fixed" version at some point today, but no guarantees...
Originally posted by kermitfrog:

Yes it does, it's next to the "Keyword"
Keyword [ g ] Type [ Normal ]
I could probably expand that area a bit and change the label to "Search Type", although I did find one that it doesn't recognize "14" which is "History Search"
Anyway, the more "bugs" people report, the better, thanx.

See All
Whether playing a punk rocker, an assassin, a war vet, or a ghoul, Gary Oldman has consistently amazed viewers with his ability to completely disappear into his roles. Though capable of portraying almost any type of character, Oldman has put his stamp on those of the twisted villain/morally ambiguous weirdo variety, earning renown for his interpretations of the darker side of human nature.
Born Leonard Gary Oldman in New Cross, South London, on March 21, 1958, Oldman was raised by his mother and two sisters after his father, an alcoholic welder, left them when Oldman was seven. Nine years later, Oldman left high school to work in a sporting goods store; in his spare time, he studied literature and later acting under the tutelage of Roger Williams. He went on to act with the Greenwich Young People's Theatre and, after attending drama school on a scholarship, worked with the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. Oldman next worked in London's West End, where, in 1985, he won a Best Actor and a Best Newcomer award for his performance in The Pope's Wedding. By this time, he had made his film debut in Remembrance (1982) and had appeared in two television movies, notably Honest, Decent and True (1985).

When you come into the Zoo you are likely to encounter (and pat!) our Blue-tongue Lizards. Most of you would know what a Blue-tongue Lizard is and would have quite often seen them out in the wild in your backyard, under your house or they may have even ventured in the laundry, eating all your insects, snails or vegetation.
For those of you who don't know anything about the Blue-tongue Lizard, they are not venomous and have this blue tongue for a defence mechanism to scare off predators. They can vary in colours from really light grey to dark grey, and are the largest of the skink family. If you don't have dogs or cats you are more likely to see them, as our domestic pets are their main predators. They are also very popular as a pet if you really like your reptiles, but you do need a reptile licence to own any kind of reptile and the lizard must come from a breeder, not from the wild. These guys are pretty easy to handle and even better to watch, with that blue tongue poking out at you. So if you haven't seen or touched one, make sure you do if you're coming for a visit to the Zoo!
Our Amazing Blue-tongue Lizards
There are 4 species and 2 sub-species of Blue-tongue Lizards. The belly of the Blue-tongue is usually pale with darker variegations. Their eyes are small and re ...more

DL Dexter Wideman of Saluda has added Florida State and LSU to his offers from USC, Clemson, Ole Miss, Florida and Michigan. The recent offers have served as motivation for Wideman. "It's pretty exciting to tell you the truth," he said. "It makes me want to work even harder." Wideman remains is contact with Clemson and USC and is planning to attend the Gamecocks scrimmage Saturday. "They've been encouraging me to continue to work hard," said Wideman. "They want me to come up this Saturday so I'll be there." Clemson is also asking Wideman to stop by. "They want me to come up and I'm going to try really hard to make it," he said. Wideman will visit FSU during his spring break and looks forward to the trip. "I know they have a great program and I like the way they play," he said. "I can't wait to get down there." As for other visits Wideman said, "I'm going to try to visit as many schools as I can but that's not easy." He does not have any favorites and named signing day as the day he plans to announce his decision.

Officially called Netscape Communications Corporation, Netscape was founded by James H. Clark and Marc Andreessen in 1994 and was acquired by AOL in 1999. It revolutionized the computer software market by giving away for free its popular Navigator Web browser until it had acquired an overwhelming market share for this category of software.
This strategy is now used by many other software companies, including Microsoft, which also distributes its Web browser, Internet Explorer, for free.
The term Netscape is often used as the name of the company's browser, not the company itself.

Going for Platinum
MHTN Architects' rehabilitated office in Salt Lake City is seeking Platinum LEED certification. The EarlyEco©tool assisted the design team to stay within budget while seeking the highest LEED rating.
A sample of the EarlyEco©computer printout for MHTN Architects Inc.'s office renovation, a LEED for commercial interior project.
Project owners, architects and engineers are trying to implement LEED-based sustainable-design practices from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) while keeping projects within budgets. Many sustainable design professionals say "it costs no more" to do a sustainable project or "it costs between 1 and 4% of the total construction cost."
Who is right? What are the costs? What factors affect the price? Can these projects cost less if materials are reused?
To help solve LEED cost issues, MHTN Architects Inc., Salt Lake City, has developed EarlyEco©, an in-house system to control budgets of LEED projects. It was first developed for use with LEED for New Construction projects but has been expanded into LEED for Core and Shell; LEED for Commercial Interiors; LEED for Schools; and LEED for Laboratories, which will be completed soon.
Using EarlyEco
EarlyEco© helps organize and analyze the data for each LEED credit and credit option. A professional conceptual estimator has analyzed each of the credit line items. The synergies between credits also have been evaluated and are part of the formulas embedded in the program.
The EarlyEco© program is customized for each project by inputting 28 key design factors regarding the site and building. These include building size, number of building occupants, and location. The output then is analyzed by a LEED AP and compared to project consultants' costs related to the specific design and bidding conditions of the current market.
It is important to define the sustainable and energy-savings goals of the team in the early phases of design. When these are identified early, the design team can focus on LEED credits and categories that fit within the budget and match the overall project goals.
The objective is not to "chase credits" but rather to work with the client to define options and related costs in a timely manner. Too often, clients, designers, and consultants pursue sustainable-design solutions that are not within the project budget. EarlyEco© identifies the conceptual cost early, so the client and design team can design a sustainable project within budget.

You pay a fulltime sysadmin to solve your problems in that case :) pay as in 'salary pay'. Though i'm very positive about for example Sun's open office, and open source in general, it's quite clumsy to use practical for simple things like printing name labels to stick on envelopes ('etiketten' we call 'em). If experienced IT guys don't manage within 1 day to get something like that done with it, for sure office personnel with less of an experience there will fail. Then additional the documentation totally fails there. Now i won't bother you with the fact that i have an apple macbookpro laptop with open-office for it, and that despite hours of googling, it just doesn't work. Good old win2000 + old word version had to solve it. In short open source can work only if you have experienced Linux guys who make ready whatever you need on it, and if the functionality you need is sufficient and documented. This usually is the case for the top1000 companies. Netherlands has about 1021 (roughly) companies of 1000+ personnel, not to mention governments. For these open source is a possibility. Not for the majority of users and companies. Clusters and Beowulf type systems are definitely the exception here; for them modifying that kernel and a security that only allows intelligence agencies to enter and no one else, is important.

Posted 8:58 AM 12/18/2012 : Local mall beefs up security for the holiday season
TUCSON - With Christmas just around the corner, one local mall is increasing their security.
The Foothills Mall will have more security to help make the mall a safer place to shop this holiday season. Security officers keep a close eye on the parking lot that holds over 4,100 spaces, but now they're also keeping track of what goes on inside the mall.
"If a tenant calls we can get there faster, we know where they went, we can see them head out that store. Instead of wondering if they went out that entrance or that entrance, we can actually see them," said Josh Medlin, Foothills Mall Security.
Star Jewelry favors with the extra cameras and security around the mall.
The state of the art cameras move every five seconds, and can capture every angle of every movement.
"We're trying to do our job keeping them safe, trying to help the tenants out by stopping theft, credit card fraud, graffiti," Medlin said.
The cameras outside the mall are just as sharp. "We can follow them on the outside cameras and get a license plate and notify the Sheriff's Department, even if they are off property," Medlin said.
Since the cameras have been in place, over a dozen shoplifters have been arrested.

Dubai Ruler Refits Yacht to Beat Abramovich's Eclipse
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Wealth
Just as we predicted in our latest story (dated Aug. 23) on Roman Abramovich's gigayacht Eclipse (above), it won't be the world's largest privately owned yacht for very much longer. Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum is reportedly having his own floating palace, the Dubai, refitted to literally eclipse the Eclipse. As we noted in our previous story, at 531.5 ft. the Dubai is already only 18 inches shorter than the actual length of the Eclipse, which yachting experts Camper & Nicholsons finally pegged at 533 ft. Now the London Sunday Times reports that Sheikh Mohammed is planning to have the Dubai extended by at least two feet, and possibly as much as eight feet, easily beating the Eclipse to recapture the World's Largest title. The UAE's Platinum Yachts, which built the Dubai, is considering updates that could include a black box radar to be mounted jutting forward from under the prow. [continued]

NEW YORK, Jul 1 (PTI): Developing nations need to adopt strategic trade andindustrial policies by not opening up important industries too early and byintroducing sequenced tariff barriers with a clear timeframe, according to a newUnited Nations report.They also need to focus on agriculture, emphasise investment in rural development,maintain tariffs on food imports and ensure that global trade negotiations agree onspecial safeguard mechanism, recommends the report which lays out an eight-pointstrategy for the development.The developing nations of Asia and the Pacific, it emphasises, need bold newdomestic policies to benefit from free trade and urges the industrialised nations toback fair trade policies giving the poorer nations a chance to compete in the globalmarket place.It also calls for investment in competitiveness, including in education and researchespecially in agriculture and trade-related infrastructure.The report 'Trade on Human Terms: Transforming Trade for Human Development inAsia and the Pacific' commissioned by the UN Development Programme's (UNDP)was released Thursday in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh.It finds that Asia's opening to the global market has propelled record economicgrowth and reduced income poverty in much of the region.

The continued dismal performance of the UK economy is entirely consistent with the predictions of those of us who have argued consistently for the last two years that premature fiscal consolidation would be severely contractionary in the short term, and risked doing significant long-term economic and social damage.
IMF economists have finally acknowledged what politicians have long denied. They have shown that austerity policies implemented by politicians and demanded by financial markets are severely damaging to what economists define as 'growth'. Ultimately, argues the IMF, these policies are self-defeating. As most thinking people now recognise, rather than repairing the broken and bankrupt economies of the world, austerity is making matters worse.

Today, 10 September, Nesta is publishing a report which argues that the debate over growth is missing a vital point. Fixing the economy in the short term is only half the battle. If we want the UK to return to growth, we need to look at what has gone wrong with the main driver of growth: our capacity to innovate.

Day one of sheriff's re-trial ends
Updated On: Dec 10 2012 11:00:00 PM CST
A former sheriff was back in the courtroom Tuesday. He's on trial for the second time involving theft charges.
It was day one of the trial after jury selection in the case involving former Unicoi County sheriff Kent Harris. We learned much of this trial was similar to the August trial, which ended in a hung jury. This time prosecutors are hoping for a verdict.
After a mistrial in August, a new jury was selected on Monday in hopes of reaching a verdict on two theft charges against former Unicoi County sheriff Kent Harris. He is accused of stealing on the job.
A TBI investigator, who is not allowed to release his name, said they received an investigation request. "There was an allegation of misuse involving county funds," the officer said.
District Attorney Tony Clark told the jury that friends of Harris donated two cars to the sheriff's department.
Tom Colbaugh was one of those donors. "Kent came to us and asked us if we would donate those 2 cars to the Unicoi Sheriff's Department," he said on the stand Tuesday.
A TBI witness says from his investigation he learned that after the cars were donated, money was requested from the county.
The finished product was two checks: one for $1,500, the other for $3,000. The defense claims those cars were not donated, but they were used to raise money intended to train bloodhounds to be search and rescue dogs.
Defense attorney Jim Bowman told jurors the money was kept locked in the sheriff's office safe. He says when the dog became too costly to train and too old to keep, he used the money to pay for a rescue to keep and care for them.
The trial is expected to last up to four days. We'll continue to bring you the facts in this case on-air and online.

If you think mega zoom cameras are expensive, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H100 will pleasantly surprise you. Going by just the form and design, it easily comes across as an expensive, high-end model. But priced well under Rs 15,000, it falls under the price range of premium ultra compact and travel zoom digital cameras. Let's find out whether it's just brawny or actually let's you shoot like a pro. A reasonably priced megazoom camera in a DSLR-like form Design and features This 16.1 MP shooter resembles an entry-level DSLR thanks to the large lens housing and the bulge for grip. Well, it also feels like one when held. The grip is comfortable because the fingers comfortably curl around the bulge and the textured rubberised finish for both the fingers and thumb lend a sense of confidence while shooting. The bulge for the grip is slightly larger than other megazoom cameras since this camera draws power from four AA batteries. Now, this is an advantage as well as a drawback. You're all good if you have a charger and spare set of rechargeable batteries—so you can continue shooting with the fully-charged extra set if the existing set runs out of juice. Also, it's easy to find AA batteries at the nook and corner of any street. However, four AA batteries add around 100 grams to the camera's weight. At 415 grams with batteries loaded, the H100 is more than twice as heavy as a travel zoom camera. It seems like Sony hasn't gone in with a li-ion battery pack to bring down the cost. The package includes four AA alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable). Four AA batteries add 100 grams to the camera's body weight The H100 isn't as complicated as it may come across. In fact, the controls are much simpler than what's found on travel zoom cameras—the control panel resembles one found on entry level point-and-shoot, but the buttons are larger and well-spread, which makes menu navigation and changing settings comfortable. The control panel comprises a 5-way D-pad and buttons for playback, Menu and In-camera Guide/Delete. The D-pad has shortcuts for flash settings, self-timer, smile shutter and display info. This clearly explains this camera isn't targeted specifically at pros. It's meant to make taking good photos easy for everyone with the added advantage of a long zoom lens that starts from 25 mm and goes way up to 525 mm, translating to 21x optical zoom. This makes it a breeze to capture larger groups of people and wider area – even wide landscapes – without moving away too far. The lens is mated with optical image stabilisation mechanism to counter handshake and prevent blurry photos, especially at full zoom and in low light. The largest aperture at wide and telephoto ends is f/3.1 and f/5.8 respectively—nothing extraordinary, but it isn't Achilles Heel in low light. A simple control panel with large and well-spread buttons The H100 offers six selectable shooting modes via the mode dial – Scene Selection, Intelligent Auto, Program, Manual, Sweep Panorama and Movie. If you want to simply point and shoot without having to tinker with exposure settings, you can use the Scene Selection or Intelligent Auto mode. The former has 11 presets, which includes Soft Skin, Night Portrait, High Sensitivity (shoots in low-light without flash), Pet and Fireworks. Here, you can only change the image size, EV and Face Detection settings. The Face Detection option in the menu can be set to prioritise faces of children and adults. Then there's a setting for smile detection sensitivity that can be set to Slight, Normal or Big smile. On activating smile shutter from the D-pad, the camera automatically shoots when it detects the subject smiling. It's fun and useful for taking self portraits—pose, smile and the camera goes click! The mode dial offers six shooting modes The Program and Manual mode are meant for those who want to manually adjust the exposure settings. The Program mode allows adjusting the ISO, white balance and metering. An interesting addition is the set of effect filters, which includes Toy camera, Pop color, Partial color and Soft high-key. The Toy camera filter can be customised to yield green, magenta, blue and sepia hues. The Manual mode should ideally allow the user to tinker with the aperture and shutter speed in addition to all the parameters available in Program mode. Here, the aperture setting is crippled. Instead of allowing to increase or decrease the f-value 1/3-step at time, you can only switch between the smallest and the largest value at the current focal length—for example, f/5.8 and f/16.7 at 525 mm. Thus, you don't have much control over the depth of field, and it also restricts using aperture and shutter speed in combination for the desired exposure. The Sweep Panorama mode is a common feature of most Sony Cyber-shot cameras. With this mode you can take up to 360 degree panoramas. You simply have to release the shutter and pan the camera—the camera automatically stitches the frames on-the-fly to yield a single panoramic shot. The H100 can shoot videos at up to 720p and you have the optical zoom to play with while shooting videos. There isn't a dedicated button for video recording, so you have to switch to the Movie mode and press the shutter release to initiate or stop video recording. The camera features a 3-inch LCD monitor with a resolution of 460K dots for framing shots and viewing photos. It's a relief from low-resolution, 230K dots screens found on entry-level cameras. The Playback mode is interesting; pressing the Menu button brings up a menu from which you can touch up photos or start a slideshow with background music. You can rotate, crop and sharpen photos and even get rid of red eye. |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There's a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they're buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn't fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.
7 - 8
Product with this rating is highly recommended because it's priced sensibly, has a good set of features and performs well.
9 - 10
Exceptionally excellent product with features and performance unlike any we've seen in the past. A must-have for everyone!

- Woodworking: Hardback Review by Paul Williams
This is terrific to have the articles from each issue all together. I found, using a public computer, that I could not make good use of the disc version. This one will be used again and again.
(Posted on 8/4/09)
- hobbyist Review by Bobby Webb
As noted by another reviewer, this is a beautifully produced book. Even better than its beauty is its utility: while there are wonderful projects included I believe I enjoy the shortcuts, reminders, & just plain good tips included. Of course, this is the standard of the magazine, but it's a great little reminder of using good practices. Plus, for those of us who consider ourselves novices, they are excellent learning tools. I particularly like the idea that a full set of mags are included in one binder. Makes it easier for me to keep up with, rather than looking for 1 particular issue in the pile of woodworking magazines I subscribe to! Highly recommended.

- Woodworking Magazine Book, 1 thru 7 Review by Joseph Ryan
Excited today receiving my order for the Book version of Issues 1-7. It is a beautifully produced book,wonder-fully illustrated just as the original magazines. The most difficult decision will be to either put it in the reference section of keeper books or displayed as a coffee table book since it's so well done.

hi guys ,with ambient temps of 25°c my 6950 oc when i playing a game like trine 2 at 80°C the game frozen ,my actual case dont have good airflow but i have thinking about,if i try to change the thermal paste on the gpu? and idle the temp is 45 to 48 give me advice thanks xd
As I said get a can of compressed air and clean the card. Raise the fan speed with Afterburner when temps go above 70C. And maybe use vsync with that particular game.
Changing the Thermal Paste is never a bad idea. I always change mine when I get a new card. But yeah like Crap Daddy said turn up the fans and make sure it's dust free. V-synch is another good suggestion to keep heat under control. A card pumping out 200fps when only on a 60hz monitor is working overtime for a lot of wasted frames not to mention tearing and generating alot of heat for nothing. Improving air flow in your case could help alot too.
thanks guys for the advice, the fans are at 100% and i try to have the case open but the temps when reach 80°C block the game , on trine 2 i have vsync on , but is strange is not a persisten problem ,this problems the first time comes out when the card whas oc at 950mhz on core and voltage at 1.170 or 1.188 , i have set at 1.100 more times ago and lower core to 900 and this problem gone ,now comes out again, i try to downclock , but for the case i dont have the money for the case i chose xd the fractal design arc midi if i have it this problem go away with 3 fans blow air on the card,my model is that http://xfxforce.com/en-us/Products/...0-Series/AMD-Radeon-HD-6950/HD-695X-ZDDC.aspx
Opening the case will not necessarily help at all. Cases are designed with a certain air pattern through the case to aid in cooling (cool air in, hot air out), so taking off panels can sometimes make cooling less effective. If you take off the side panel and set a fan next to the case blowing in, that would make a difference as you will get air turbulence from the fan to exhaust the air. Will it be enough to cool the GC? You don't know until you try it.
So having the side of the case with poor air flow on during gaming is going to be better advice? EDIT: He asked how to fix the problem with his computer... Not that he should buy a new case... Its like some dude takes his car in to get fixed and the mechanic was like i dont like your car just buy another....
Tried downclocking the VRAM? The core should be perfectly fine at 80C and up. My 6850s core runs 105C most of the time when I'm heavily gaming, the 6850 isn't a good card to run passive. lol
when i set the clock at default for this model , 830 core and memory at 1300 i dont have this problem,but is strange that a 80°C frozen ,most videocards go at 100°c .
Thats true...so like erocker said look at other things too like VRM temps. GPU-Z should be able to show you under Sensors tab.

An interesting interaction with the Chinese is bargaining. If you ever want to buy something in China, you have to bargain for it. When the Chinese merchants see that you are an American/foreigner/not Chinese, they will automatically quote a price that is usually two to four times more than the product is worth (or even more). You should immediately shout out, "tài guì le!" (too expensive) and the bargaining begins. Both you and the vendor will hash it out for a few minutes until you come to a price that you are both satisfied with. The shop or store owners are rather aggressive and if you do not want to get ripped off, you have to be aggressive while bargaining back.
You should always start at about 25 percent of the original asking price. It is always a safe bet. Once you've lived in Shanghai for a while, you will learn what the actual price should be and you will become a better bargainer. Remember, however, to consider the concept of "face." You do not want to embarrass a vendor by forcing them to accept your extremely low price, but you also do not want to "lose face" by accepting a price that is too high. Bargaining is a social art. It takes time and practice.

Farmer finds pot of gold in Wilson County field
Gene Maeckel
December 4, 2013
In the month of August 1891, a young farmer named Edwards was plowing his field near Sutherland Springs. As he was going along, his plow hit a large solid object buried in the earth. On inspection of this object, it was found to be a large metal iron pot with its top protruding about one-half inch above the surrounding surface. On removal of the lid, it first appeared the pot was filled with dirt. However, when the object was lifted it weighed much more than just an earthen-filled vessel. On further investigation and after the removal of about an inch of the surface dirt, a large cache of gold coins was discovered. These coins were doubloons, a former gold coin of Spain and Spanish America. They were wrapped in leather which had rotted away, leaving a greenish mold on the coins, but had no effect on their condition.
El Camino del Cibolo links trail of historic treasures
September 4, 2013
Historians look back in time and wonder what past events took place to bring us to where we are today. They attempt to solve the historic mysteries that link the past to the present. El Camino del Cibolo is greatly abundant in historic treasures such as to demand discovery and is interesting enough to capture the attention of anyone. El Camino del Cibolo (the road to the Cibolo) proudly cuts a path in Wilson County, Texas. Its fabulously rich and deep-rooted history is found in abundance.
A taste of Wilson County history prior to the Texas Revolution
Gene Maeckel
June 26, 2013
Wilson County did not exist as an individual area prior to this period. However, it was an area which was greatly involved in the Texas Revolution of 1836. The majority of the county area as it exists today was a part of Bexar County with a smaller part from Karnes County. Almost all of the land was devoted to ranching controlled and owned by persons of Spanish heritage, many of whom were descendants of the original 16 Canary Islands families who came from Spain and established the Villa de Bexar.

Beauregard Ranch spawns �maverick� moniker
Gene Maeckel
December 26, 2012
The Beauregard Ranch was one of the earliest ranches established in Wilson County during the open range days prior to the American Civil War. It was located in the San Antonio River Valley and was situated mostly in Wilson County, with a small portion on the southern end of Karnes County. It was part of the original Luis Menchaca 11-league grant, granted to him by the king of Spain in 1758. Luis Menchaca was captain of the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar at this time and the ranch was called El Rancho de San Francisco. It is one of the first and largest private ranches on record in the Spanish Archives of the General Land Office of Texas in Austin.
A historic Texas gunfight
Gene Maeckel
December 19, 2012
Albuquerque was a small community in Wilson County located on the old San Antonio-Gonzales Road near Union Valley. This historic fight occurred on May 17, 1873, at the local blacksmith shop, between John Jack Helm and John Wesley Hardin. Both men were known to be hardened gunfighters and killers. Helm was considered to be the leader of the Sutton group in the Sutton-Taylor feud. Hardin, due to his family relationship with the Taylors, was appointed as their lead spokesman.
Celebrate with Wilson County Sept. 25
September 7, 2010
In 1960, Wilson County celebrated its 100th birthday with great fanfare. As the centennial year drew to a close, the county interred a time capsule under the Wilson County Courthouse lawn, not to see the light of day again for 50 years. Inside were placed mementos of the celebration, newspapers of the day, and letters from hopeful county residents and dignitaries to residents of the future.

Historic finds down on the farm
August 24, 2010
George Alston owns a farm in the Nockenut community near Stockdale. In 1975, he uncovered on his farm what appears to be a gravestone, he told local historian Shirley Grammer. The stone bears the year �1796� and an inscription.

who cares and id rather see him do more with yelawolf or rittz over eminem any day
personally I just don't care anymore. There's two things fans have been looking forward to. Tech Collabing with Eminem, and a Kabosh Album. When i first got introduced to Tech in like 06 i was excited about tech doing a song with em, or doing a kabosh album. but its been like 6 years. (more for the fans who have been here longer than i have) If it happens Great. If not, oh well.
That was the dumbest fucking video I have ever seen in my entire life, congrats.

Em already decided to do a track with Tech, jesus, how do people not understand this? Tech reached out, Em and his management said yes, but could not meet the deadline. That part was actually Tech's fault, as he has admitted, because he waited too long.
So yeah, Eminem said yes. The schedules did not line up and now it's up to Tech whether or not he decides to reach out agian, which most know depends on how he feels about a certain song.
Who the hel is "Dalima"? It wasBlind Fury who took his stop it was supposed to be Tech and Em on "So Lonely"
i hope not. would rather see tech keep it in the family, like WTSL.

Beautiful mantel
By Busy Mom of Three
from Ilion, NY
I love the look of this fireplace. Our home is so energy efficient we do not need another heat source or it would be too warm. This fireplace is in our open- kitchen, dining and family room floor plan. So with the oven on and lots of people we would not be able to have a real or gas fire or it would be too warm. This fireplace is beautiful and gives the room a more comfy/warm feeling when you enter the room. It is very quiet and the flame is very realistic. It does not give off much light though. Also I would recommend good lighting (like recessed) to show off the mantle because it is pretty dark. The red light that tells you it is on is annoying and detracts from the fire looking real. The detail of the mantle does not allow mantle clips to hang stockings so I had to buy a holder but worries me they will slide off. Of all the electric fireplaces we looked at though this is the best. We searched for a year but kept coming back to this one. The service was great and you can't beat free shipping.
