Truly terrible, like everything around it. Stick to the city.
What kind of bar makes you feel like you're underage when you aren't and have a 100% valid driver's license to prove it?
Our server refused to accept my Minnesota driver's license. I suggested they scan it, but the server said they didn't have one, which I later found out to be false. The server also refused to acknowledge that my other forms of ID (credit card, school ID, etc) matched my driver's license. It seemed as though the server was just set on not serving my party and I.
Minnesota licenses are made out of a rubber-like compound, which may arouse some suspicion, but seriously at least try to verify my ID in some objective manner. He also stated that because my party had licenses from different states (we are students), "clearly" that meant all of our IDs were fake.
My experience at Kelly's was quite upsetting.
AVOID if you have an out-of-state or international ID--they only trust Pennsylvania driver's licenses!
Looking for a demeaning experience at a glorified PIZZA PLACE? I promise anger, mediocre food, time limits. The area has great eateries - NOT this one. Amazing they get away with it. Don't let them.
Horrific Behavior By Staff - DO NOT GO - PEOPLE WALKED OUT THEY WERE SO APPALLED
Came in with a friend who lives 3 hours away and we asked the hostess if we could both use Groupons. She told us yes, and I asked...even if we are at the same table, and she said yes again then my friend purchased one. When we got to the back they said we could not use it since we walked in together. They said the hostess was new and it was her first day. (even if it was true...which I doubt...they shouldn't have her own her own if she isn't trained...she represents the business). When I tried to explain that they needed to honor what they told us up front, they got rude. I asked to speak to a manager and was told there wasn't anyone there (on a Saturday night...right!). The waiter printed the Groupon rules which said one per group and insisted that since we walked in together we were only eligible for one at the same table. So I said fine..my mom and I will go to another table, so we got up, got back in line and were seated at another table. We figured that would be the end of it but hear them yelling at my friend across the room. The woman got in his face and told him to leave. I started to head over to see what was happening and the other folks at the table got up and left and told them they did not like how they were treating us and said they were taking their business elsewhere. I told everyone I was done too and was preparing to leave when the woman that was in my friends face finally said she would call her supervisor for an exception then seconds later (super fast call to explain everything that happened) said she would make as exception because she didnt want us to post anything negative on the Internet. Ummm...TOO LATE! You do not behave that way to paying customers, especially in front of a 10 year old child that was with us! If your hostess didnt tell us that two groupons were ok, my friend would have never purchased. The fact that we asked that you honor your word and you turn rude and nasty and get in our faces in front of a child is totally unacceptable! I was trying to take my mother out for a nice dinner and you completely ruined our experience. You should be ashamed and embarrassed as a business. We will never be back and have already started telling everyone as know what happened so they never go either.
We had a bad experience at Jimmy Wan's restaurant at Freeport Rd. It was like eating at a fast food restaurant. They took our order and immediately brought the food to the table before we got our drinks. It was a 15 minute meal. We complained to the owners. They were not concerned and never apologized for the bad service. The food here is MASS PRODUCED. The food is already prepared; that is why they bring it right away to the table. It is also overpriced. We won't go back.
This establishment used to be the best in the Mt Lebanon area for delivery. The last couple of orders I've ordered have gotten worse each time. GREASY egg rolls and I'm not sure if that was actually chicken in my meal. Once was my favorite and now I'll never eat it again...
My friend and I were looking for some Mexican on a Friday Nite. So we decided to go here and see how the food was...
The decor was dingy, it looked like it needs a good hosing... I didnt want to stay but my buddy wanted to try it out.
The menu was inaccurate and some of their food adaptation wasnt made to look appetizing in my opinion... We had simple demands, No refried beans, My buddy's burrito came loaded with them(Waitress and menu says they are not in the burrito). When food came and my buddy took a bite of his food, he stomach turned... The manager offered to make it for him properly and could not understand why he lost his appetite. As for my food, I got nachos and a quesadilla(simple enough right, big mistake). They cover all of their food with this white cheese sauce, its very bland and messy(consistency more like soup). I honestly feel My quesadilla lookes like a taco loaded with this nasty cheese also, very bland.
I CAN HONESTLY SAY that I would much rather go to a sheetz gas station and acquire the same meal choices. Their nachos have real NACHO cheese and their quesadillas have more flavor and sit much better in ur stomach, not to mention the price...
I DO NOT recommend eatig here at all, save your money and your colon
Cain's sucked no food, waited an hour, Services was horrible it's cleaned up
but same old carp. We would never ever go there again. If we could give it
a negative 5 we would.
Bartender was rude. Drinks priced ok, shots not made properly, and did I mention the bartender was rude?
Sorry to say that I had a bad experience. Stopped for a quick drink with friends. The bar was 1/2 full, but I had trouble getting a drink. After 4 people were served that arrived behind me, I tried to get the bartenders attention by asking if "I could get a beer--I've been standing here for 5 minutes." That was the extent of it. The bartender immediately responded "oh no, we don't put up with the kind of attitude in here", put his hand up and walked away from me. He then proceeded to tell the individual waiting tables not to serve me either. Needless to say, I wasn't the one with the attitude. Hope others have a better experience that I did--I won't be trying it again.
went once never again. inattentive server, mediocre food. seriously this is the crap i expect at an outback. "fresh baked" dessert arrived cold in the middle - busted. go to capital grille or ruths chris instead - will actually be worth the price.

Some of the most interesting data to be added to the recent edition of the Internet Statistics Compendium includes fresh research from IAB on how Europeans use mobile internet at the same time as other media.
'Media meshing' is evident across the continent, but some countries are more keen to mix the mobile web with traditional information sources than others.

Consumer behaviour is driving multichannel growth and if retailers want to stay in touch with their customers they must adapt now.
Let's face it, multichannel is here, and the majority of customers use several channels before they buy (around 86% apparently, according to a recent study by Leo Burnett).
So, whatever you do as a retailer, if you're not in the multichannel game, then you're not planning to be in retail for the long run, as your customers already are.

Recent statistics have proved what we all know: the mobile consumer is rising. In 2010 smartphone purchases increased by 72.1% and a week doesn't go by when we hear of retailers launching mobile commerce sites or mobile initiatives revealed.
It seems there is consumer demand for mobile services but understanding the mobile consumer psyche is confusing.

For those of you who missed it (and with 20,000 people registering for it I'm not sure who that may be) Hubspot's Dan Zarrella's "The Science of Email Marketing" was a reminder that testing and optimization are a core best practice which will ultimately drive the success of any email initiative.
Not that the webinar was focused on testing. Instead, takeaways were presented with the caveat "this may or may not be the case for you" ... which is another way of saying "test it and see what happens."

73% of companies are planning an investment in mobile channels in 2011, with almost half planning to move into mobile commerce.
Econsultancy's Customer Engagement Report, which we produced in association with cScape, has some interesting findings on companies' use of mobile.
It seems that, as well as losing their fear of social media, more firms are coming round to the value of mobile.

The newly renovated bathroom was nice but there still was no toilet paper in them for the first day and a half, (only there for two nights) the location was "out of town" took about 15-25 minutes depending on the bus u got to get to the closest underground line then another 10ish minutes on there to get to the centre. Beds were average for a hostel and reception was 24/7 but spoke no English at all. Floor made your feet black so keep your shoes on. And busses were every 45 minutes ish

Hairdryers and towels were suggested to be available for hire (due to the information on hostelworld,com), but there were no such available at all! Also, it was really cold, at least in the room at ground floor, and sometimes one needed to wait for around 1 hour to water in the shower to get warm. One more important thing - no one from personal speaks english. I wouldn't reccomend it to people not speaking czech, polish or russian language to be able to survive there without being frustrated.

Říčany (Pronounced like "chee-cha-ni") is outside Prague, but is a fine place if you just want to go to Prague to visit all day, and only go to the hostel to sleep. Very quiet hostel and surroundings. People don't speak languages besides Czech, but they give you a piece of paper in English with everything you need to know.

hello everyone, i have been having issues with cpu temps for a while now. i have used a few cpu temp monitoring programs such as core temp, speedfan and cpuid hardware monitor and all three of have said that my cpu gets up to 83 degrees c under a full load. i have two cpus and its the main one that is doing this. its a server desktop. whats strange though my pc is perfectly stable. i have never had any reboots, shut downs or bsods even after playing demanding games such as crysis 1, 2 and 3. far cry 3 and battlefield 3 for several hours so i am not sure what is going on. i have re applied thermal paste (arctic silver 5) about 6 times now and i get the same readings each time. i have accidently broke a fan blade by putting my hand by to make sure it was moving (which i made a thread about already). it has been doing this since i got the computer which was a christmas gift from my brother. my hardware specs are two dual core xeon 5160 cpus at 3.0 ghz, 4 gigs of ddr2 ram, geforce gtx 570, 850 watt psu, 740 gig hard drive,rocket fish sound card, windows 7 professional 64 bit.
2 cpus? filling out your entire system specs would help you with not having to post them every time too.
If your temps were poor before the fan blade broke then I don't suppose the fan blade is to blame but on the other hand: a) fan blade was already wonky, that's why it broke off b) fan blade now off both (a) & (b) might cause turbulence, leading to poorer air flow over the heatsink. Alternatively, the heat from the 570 might be adding to the heat to the nearest cpu, i.e. the hot air form the gfx card is being blown onto the hot cpu heat sink. Sounds like a case airflow optimisation might be required. I'd check all that out before looking into more serious causes.
Like 54thvoid said, what case is it in? Could be not enough airflow as one of the factors, and 2, maybe the cooler (Heatsink) isn't up to snuff, but that's kind of hard to believe if its just stock coolers, should be fine if your not clocking.
that is what i have been thinking. i have another case. i am going to transfer my hardware from my current case to the new one to if it helps even though it only has one extra fan. i was able to balance out the fan by removing two more blades it works, its just spinning faster than before. temps are almost the same as before. there about 1 to 2 degrees higher on average. and my 570 is about 8 inches from the cpu.
Ah, ok. Well The54thvoid has the point I was going to make. You probable just need to get a new cooler. honestly I would consider a new mobo too, just to make your life much easier in the future.
How would that make his life easier in the future? I think he needs to stop messing with the fans, and get 2 new coolers all together for the procs.
Its hard for me to believe that your temps are now only a degree or 2 off from before. You removed 2 blades and one broke.. So you have half the blades you originally started with? The fan is designed a certain way to be efficient. I think you started worrying about temps AFTER you broke off all the fan blades. Just my .02. Get a new HSF and replace it. come back and post results. If your still having temp problems then we will help more.
It would make his life easier because instead of buying 2 HSF, he could upgrade to a better mobo and cpu, A server board would be a pain in the ass to me. certainly being new to pc's. my .02
yea i was planning on getting a new heatsink when i had the cash. and i was checking temps before my fan broke. and i was getting almost the same temps before it broke. i broke the fan last friday. i have been getting high temps for almost two months. and i re applied thermal paste last tuesday and when i did the heatsink was caked with dust. i did clean all of the dust out of the heatsink and reapplied thermal paste it helped a little bit but not much. is there anyway that the sensors could be bad? if the cpu was really running that hot wouldnt my pc reset itself and wouldnt i get bsods, crashes and other issues? thats what is really confusing me.
He probably has a reason to run 2 chips and a server grade motherboard. Work related, who knows. Im sure some better heatsinks will get rid of his temperature problem, and he wouldn't have to spend to much money on them anyways.
Jesus, just looked up the specs of the 5160 Xeon, as I thought it was LGA775, and its actually just LGA771 and only a dual core. OP: What do you do that you need 2 procs for? Or was it kind of a thing where you needed a system for whatever, and you got this one and just took it as it is?
im using two cpus because it runs faster than one and i can't afford to buy a single quadcore or a new pc atm and like i said before the pc is perfectly stable. i have just been trying to figure out if these temps are false or if they are accurate will it damage my system. and one more detail i forgot to add. i used to live with my brother and i would use this system to game on. before it had a radeon 5850 in it. and it would often give a cpu overtemp error at boot if i would put load on the cpu (which it still does). i should have mentioned this before.
Yea..... That is kind of a detail that would help us determine your problem. Like we said before, get a new HSF and report back. If you can take a pic of the inside of your PC and post it that may help too. FYI, those 2 cpus are outdated and not nearly as fast as a single cpu in today's market.
Keep your case on the desk top, why are you using speed fan, try Real temp(pretty sure you can get it here). No software will give you true readings. You can check the bios upon re boot to check after its been running a while. How did you clean the old tim off?What size TIM did you apply? you can google "how to apply tim to CPU"..........
I used isoprpyl alchohal to remove the tim. I put a small amount abd used an old credit card to spread it on the cpu. And then i put the heatsink on the cpu then puleed it off to make sur it was spread evenly before i mounted it.
Please google how to apply tim. you did it WAY wrong. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how to apply thermal paste
The TIM size should be about the size of a grain of rice, AC has a nice walk through. google AC5 or....im on a phone cant add links(its to complex). as stated make sure you got good air flow, you may just add fans to your current setup.
Stoggs, You don't need to "just add fans." You need to go buy a HSF and replace your current one. Reapply tim without lifting the HSF. come back and post results. I am done here.
When you spread TIM yourself on a CPU atleast it causes air bubbles to come up, which reduces the ability to transfer heat since heat gets trapped up in the bubbles. Just put a dot of whatever thermal paste you have. Preferably AS5/MX4 then put the heatsink on without spreading the TIM yourself. then fasten down. EDIT: Only problem with getting a new heatsink, is the fact there is near zero options, that will really help compared to what you have now since your running LGA771.

New tax incentives are available for private landowners interested in protecting the important conservation values of their lands through the donation of conservation easements. Learn more about this unique opportunity.
Conservation easements are one of the most powerful, effective tools available for the permanent conservation of private lands in the United States. The use of conservation easements has successfully protected millions of acres of wildlife habitat and open space, keeping land in private hands and generating significant public benefits.
A conservation easement is a voluntary, legally binding agreement that limits certain types of uses or prevents development from taking place on a piece of property now and in the future, while protecting the property's ecological or open-space values. Learn more about how a conservation easement works.
For more than four decades, The Nature Conservancy has been using conservation easements to protect landscapes from development — affording them better protection than could be accomplished through outright purchase.
In the Blackfoot Valley of Montana, for instance the Conservancy accepted the state's first conservation easement on 1,800 acres in the mid-1970s. Today, 30,254 acres in the Blackfoot are covered by easements — and it is one of the most intact landscapes in all of Montana.

KYTX (FROM THE TYLER PAPER) - Per its responsibility to protect charitable assets, the Texas Attorney General's Office is investigating how $1.3 million in a restricted gift was spent by Lon Morris College, the agency confirmed Wednesday.The funds in question are from the Long Endowment, which specifies that if Lon Morris College closes, then the main library at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville becomes the beneficiary.Attorneys for the bankrupt college reviewed minutes from the college's Board of Trustees in 2010 and 2011, and there is no apparent reference to the endowment in the 2011 minutes, "except a fleeting reference in the January 2011 minutes, which indicate that the Long Endowment will make a regular distribution for the (Lon Morris) library," according to court documents.The will and testament of James D. Long, who died in 2009, shows that half of the income was exclusively to purchase books and journals for the Lon Morris library, and "to modernize library services and improve student access to library resources."Court documents further state that based on Lon Morris' books, the money was borrowed "as of" 2010, but a promissory note for the $1 million that was borrowed is nowhere to be found.Attorneys have requested board minutes, emails and documents related to the endowment.Former Lon Morris President Dr. Miles McCall, who resigned in May, also was examined earlier this week in Arlington by the Attorney General and Lon Morris Attorney Hugh Ray III.According to court documents, the examination can pertain to, among other things, "the acts, conduct, or property or to the liabilities and financial condition of (Lon Morris), or to any matter which may affect the administration of (Lon Morris') estate."Auditor Lynn Acker of Acker & Co. is scheduled to be examined on Nov. 1.Attempts to reach McCall through family, friends and acquaintances were unsuccessful Wednesday. A message left for Acker at his office Wednesday afternoon was not returned.Ray said attorneys for the college also are conducting a parallel investigation in close connection with the Attorney General's Office investigation, and once they know the facts, they will take action.He said he does not want to comment on the ongoing investigation or any evidence or conclusions related to it until it is complete. He believes he will know something in mid-November.The investigations are among the latest issues for Lon Morris.The financially-strapped institution filed a voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in July after bleeding millions of dollars since at least the 2007-08 school year, when college representatives say the school embarked on a costly plan to grow enrollment.In August, the college learned it will lose federal student aid and subsequently decided to suspend the fall semester.About 100 students were expected to attend Lon Morris this fall, and now other East Texas community colleges have stepped in to help accommodate them.Another hearing is scheduled for Oct. 31, at which time the judge will consider the college's request for authority to employ Tranzon Auction Resolutions, which will sell "a substantial amount of the real property" of the Jacksonville estate.According to the application to employ Tranzon, the auctioneer would market and sell the real property and certain personal property.Lon Morris has an estimated 112 acres of real estate with various buildings such as dorms, athletic facilities, administration buildings, a library, a chapel and admission buildings, the application states.The college still could be purchased by an educational institution or another buyer, provided the bankruptcy court authorizes Lon Morris to go through the auctioning process as it requested.

Do Elections Make Any Difference?
In the run up to the Presidential election of 1960, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Harvard historian and Kennedy courtier, published a book called Kennedy or Nixon: Does It Make Any Difference? Schlesinger had to struggle to find reasons to claim that it was important that Kennedy win.
It came down mainly to noblesse oblige. Lucky for him that JFK's opponents had started out as poor boys. He'd have had to delve deep into his bag of tricks if Averell Harriman, not Hubert Humphrey, had run against his aspiring Prince in the Wisconsin and West Virginia primaries; or if Nelson Rockefeller, not Richard Nixon, had been the Republican nominee.
Schlesinger's argument was a stretch, but the question he asked needed answering. In mid-century America, Democrats and Republicans were very much alike, and everyone knew it. So were Kennedy and Nixon.
Kennedy, of course, had style. Everyone now knows about his many ailments, including Addison's Disease, his addiction to painkillers and his compulsive philandering. However, at the time, he seemed youthful, athletic and vigorous.
He was, by all accounts, a family man of unimpeachable loyalty, not just to the Kennedy clan and to his daughter (Jackie was pregnant with John John when Schlesinger's book appeared), but to Jackie as well. She was, after all, every fellow's dream. In less than a decade's time, she would become the ultimate trophy bride.
Jack was socially connected and self-assured; he had impeccable taste. He was witty, accomplished, handsome, sexy and rich; a Harvard man out of central casting.
But one with immigrant roots and, like all Kennedys, the common touch. Few resented him; many aspired to be him.
Meanwhile, the conspicuously asexual Nixon seemed uncomfortable in his body, common and gruff. He sported a five o'clock shadow. The contrast was striking.
When it came to substantive political differences however, it took a keen eye to discern any at all. To get liberals on board, the campaign therefore put Schlesinger to work, conjuring up affinities between JFK and his father's sometime nemesis, Franklin Roosevelt.
Schlesinger wisely chose not to ask – Democrats or Republicans, Does It Make Any Difference? Had that been his question, his ingenuity would probably not have been up to the task of finding reasons for the conclusion he wanted to draw.

There were true liberals in Democratic ranks in 1960 and, for the most part, Democrats were more liberal than Republicans. But then there was the solid (segregationist) South, dragging the party to the right.
Southern Democrats supported the New Deal as long as it didn't put white supremacy in jeopardy. Northern liberals, needing their votes and being loathe to take on institutional racism in any case, happily went along.

Moving thread here originally posted in General hardware by mistake... Final specs leak of GTX 660 Ti and GTX 670! http://videocardz.com/32476/geforce-...ication-leaked EUREKA .. Quote from article, "GeForce GTX 660 Ti is a mid-range graphics card featuring 6 SMX clusters with 1152 CUDA cores, 96 texture and 24 raster operating units. Card will be clocked at the same speed as GTX 680 — 1006 MHz. " !!!! yummy! + MAY 10th launch! Just in time for my Diablo III upgrade BOOYA!
important part highlighteness > "ORB has just released final spec" ... "Previous rumors were true, according this data GTX 660 Ti will feature 6 SMX clusters, while GTX 670 will have 7 SMXs."... ps these "speculations" are not new .. We've been seeing the same numbers for @ a couple months. I think with only 2 weeks away from "hopeful, speculated" launch they can hold a little weight at this point. lolz Here's the ORB review which has specs for all 600 GPU it looks like and a picture of the GTX 660 TI PCB, which "could be" faked since no shroud or markings.. http://www.obr-hardware.com/2012/04/geforce-gtx-670660-ti-specs.html I wouldn't discount it on face alone just because of "speculation" in the link title. lol Everything is speculation till release no matter how true it may be. Nobody wants' to report the wrong info so it's a C.Y.A. maneuver... horah ? lol UPDATE: more links>> http://vr-zone.com/articles/nvidia-...-cards--geforce-gtx-660-ti-and-670/15728.html yet another site confirming/ "speculating" same figures. What's that make 4 now? (if you count the German review I posted in another thread > http://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.ph...-660-ti-dritter-gk104-ableger-in-planung.html) Might want google translator for that one.
Touche! ... that's what I get for not reading and skimming lol .. good post! And crysis is coming out with something new maybe I heard ? PS. I never played crysis because of the Fps hog that it is but amazing <60 fps is still the ultra ceiling at 1920x1080 on that game after all this time.
Specs of what ? the GTX 660 Ti or the GTX 670 ? The 660 Ti is showing reports between $249.00 (recent speculations) and $319.00 (older ones) so do some better reading! lolz See my link below Quote from review "GeForce GTX 660 would be a different bird, with no less than whole GPC (Graphics Processing Cluster) disabled , resulting with 1152 CUDA codes. Memory bus would be cut to 192-bit, meaning again - the odd combination of either 768MB or 1.5GB. Given that it's 2012, we don't see anyone launching a product with 768MB of video memory. This part should go for $199-249, targeting AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (Pitcairn GPUs)." http://vr-zone.com/articles/nvidia-...-cards--geforce-gtx-660-ti-and-670/15728.html
Isn't this thread about gtx 660ti? $250 doesnt make sense in the current pricing scheme for a card that has 75% of the gtx680 processing power.These rumours comes probably from the same guys that said the gtx 670 will be $350. Sub $300 market is reserved for gk 106 whenever that comes.
What makes sense is the price point is in competion with the 7800 and actually it makes perfect sense for Nvidia since the GTX 680 beats the 7970 at a lower price. If you do some actual review reading for Nvidia's strategies you'll see that they are going Big,better,less power hungery and cheaper on puropse .. their whole 600 series is designed to be a lot cheaper than AMDs 7000 counter parts. It makes perfect sense for them to capture more of the market. PS this quote comes from the latest GTX 670 review from Anandtech: "Like its predecessors, GTX 670 will fill in the obligatory role as a cheaper, slower, and less power-hungry version of NVIDIA's leading video card." http://www.anandtech.com/show/5818/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670-review-feat-evga/1 And the GTX 660 will be even further in the less is more direction.
Their are designed to be very profitable for them not for the consumers i doubt a corporation care about us mere mortals.
w Exactly, that's what i said... they want to capture more of the market.. = mo $$$ for them and decreasing power but still at a good margin and decreasing price over AMD = Increase in sales and profits. If they can produce a cheaper product, better and at a cheaper market price than the 7800s then common economic principles apply and they should sell more. PS this quote comes from the latest GTX 670 review from Anandtech: "Like its predecessors, GTX 670 will fill in the obligatory role as a cheaper, slower, and less power-hungry version of NVIDIA's leading video card." http://www.anandtech.com/show/5818/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670-review-feat-evga/1 And the GTX 660 will be even further in the less is more direction. PSS... i was planing on $300 for a 448 core classified ultra anyways so $300 for the 660 TI will not be a boo whoo moment for me I'm sure. PSss... May 10th has come and went so jokes on me guess OCUK was correct. bummer
Appears OCUK was right about no supply for vendors :/ sad.. we'll I'll wait, by then though it might be best to wait for GK 110 and hopefully IB-E with 40 PCI-E lanes and dual memory controllers ...
I think this thread has outlived its purpose when insults start flying everywhere. Still looking forward to the 660Ti, positioning wise it looks like 570-580 levels depending on how aggressive they are, and what they are after. Price wise it looks like its going to compete against the 7870, since that Nvidia has nothing in that segment other than the soon going to be discontinued 580. Price? anywhere from $300 to about $370, again depending on what they are targeting. In short, you don't need to be a genius or have inside information once you know the performance and price of their top 2 cards, or indeed any 2 cards in the mid-high range.
The prices I "was" seeing on all the pre May 10th launch were suggesting @249.00 to 319.00 and that's from about 4-6 reviews I read starting in mid Feb. Since the cards not out we'll just have to wait and see. I'm hoping it follows the same suit where two GTX 560 Ti's beat the 580 for the same price but out performed the GTX 580 by @20-30%.
Indeed man, Nvidia has surely taken it's time to release their high end and looks like they are taking some more for the midrange.
I still think they are having yield issues. Makes sense with the whole "trickle release" of the 6 series.
[Post edited because I can't read ] Anyhoo, I wonder if NV will learn and make the 660 performance far away from the 670 to avoiding hurting sales?
I dont think so. I'm expecting the top 660 to be within 8-10% under the 670 both stock at 1080p. That would place it above a stock 7950.
660TI-1.5GB to 680 is like GTX460-768 to GTX560TI. only The TI was named x80 this time around and for that purpose heavily overvolted by 20%^2 and overclockerd 20% at the cost of 72% higher power consumption, totally insane. Hope that 660 remains at 1Ghz/1Volt/100W levels 72% of the 680.
Not at all. If they had yield issues they would have released the 670 at the same time as the 680 to maximize output and the 660 asap right after them. There's absolutely no sense in waiting if half or more of your chips have defects. If that was the case you would not have 680's to sell, which we know it's false because it's sold much more than AMD counterparts, by a factor of 3 actually. Also you would end up with a massive ammount of 670's and 660's in a warehouse waiting to be sold AFTER your competitor lowers their price and that's complete nonsense. You maximize output and profit always. It's absolutely the opposite what is happening, so yields are good and there's no rush for them to purportedly cripple good chips in order to satisfy the lower price points. He's talking about SLI and 560 SLI does beat a single 580. Yes I guess so, it's 192 bit for that purpose more than any other reason IMO. In another thread I especulated about the posibility of the 660(s) actually being based on the missing GK106 after all. Because rumors suggest that the 650 will be based on GK107 with GDDR5. I speculated that such GK106 may have 6 SMX (1152 SP) and 192 bit, exactly like the supposedly crippled GK104. But instead of arranging them like in GK104, the SMX's would be arranged like in GK110, so it would be 2 blocks instead of the 4 in GK104. Geometry output would be half as much as GK104, but still more than GTX580 or HD7970, so no problem at all. GK110 has 5 GPC. "My GK106" would have 2. I even think that the confusion about 660 specs comes from this. Rumors state either 1152 SP or 1344 SP, and IMO this late in the game there should be no confusion about that. So IMO normal 660 and 660 Ti would be based on "my GK106", and there might be a 1344 SP 660 Ti, in the same fashion as there is a 560 Ti based on GF100.

Consecration By Russian River Brewing Company
Compared to other American sour beers, Consecration is great. However, if judged against an Oud Bruin or another classic style of Flemish sour, Consecration is a middling affair with an astronomical price tag.
Would it be fair to judge Cali's Russian River Brewing Company on the same metric as breweries with yeast cultures older than our country's constitution? I don't think so, especially since most Americans won't have access to those quixotic Flemish brews. Their first experience of the style will probably be this bottle, and I don't want to dissuade a single soul from the experience.
The aroma has an element of almond and black cherry along with the impressive lactic sourness. A whiff of cinnamon and star anise round out the scent quite well. On the palate, the sour is balanced by a medium body and then the fun really starts. The sweat and leather of brett, the spice of oak, the bite of lactic, and the richness of fruit all come together into a clean and bright and complex brew.

This is a great link-up of classic (mostly) hand cracks that takes a direct line up the South Face, ending at the hiker's trail for an easy descent. P1, Free for All (5.8 or 5.9): Start at a small detached pillar, climbing either the left or right sides. The left side is harder (given .10a in Portland Rock Climbs); if climbing it, bring a couple of slings to girth-hitch constrictions up high. From the pillar top, a seemingly endless exposed steep hand crack finally leads to a ledge. Climb up and slightly right past the ledge to a semi-hanging belay tucked deep inside a corner (rap hangers on right-hand wall). 150' pitch. P2, Dod's Jam (5.10b): Lieback & stem your way up an off-width corner that's actually quite fun, not awkward. The crack narrows often enough to get good pro without having to lug any big pieces. From the top of the corner, monkey past a tree, then tackle an exquisite thin hands crack (.10b) splitting a steep, exposed face below the spacious Big Ledge. P3, Dastardly Crack (5.9): Step left from Big Ledge into a deep right-facing corner. It's classic hands and stemming pretty much the whole way to the top, with the crux coming where the crack bulges about halfway up. Belay at rap hangers. P4: Climb more or less straight up from the belay, then wander left up steps and into a corner system that ends right next to a switchback on the hiker's trail. This pitch is brushy, mossy, and dirty in places, but it's kinda fun in a perverse alpine sort of way. Descent: Hike down the hiker's trail, or skip the last pitch and rap from the top of Dastardly Crack (double ropes needed?).
Toward the far left end of the South Face, past the Third Tunnel. Free For All starts up a small detached pillar just right of Free for Some and Windsurfer.
To 3". Great placements for both nuts and cams (bring both). Nothing tiny needed.
With a 60m rope and about 20 ft. of simu climbing you can reach the trail in one pitch totally forgoing a fourth pitch. Its a good way to go, especially if you like chos and P.O. I would recommend rapping instead. Shouldn't need two ropes.
Leading the 2nd pitch of Dods Jam it says here you don't need any big pieces, but that is inaccurate. You can feather in some small stuff in the back of the crack but its questionable. Much better to just bring a #4 and #5 for bomber placements in the offwidth section and run it out IMO, then a bunch of crappy small gear.
We dragged a 4 & 5 and I appreciated not having to mess with the little funky pieces you would need. Dodd's is solid 10c, despite all these tough guy sandbagger's on here, and Dastardly Crack is 10a! Even with these ratings you'll feel like you're working for the grade!
I agree with Sweagan on the ratings comments. As for the last 'pitch', you can combine it with Dastardly crack if you have a 70m, but make sure you save some wider gear (3-4") for the last bit to the hiker's trail. The section above the anchor for Dastardly Crack is not to be taken lightly.
I suppose you could funk around with wide pro, but it really isn't necessary. I lead the p2 offwidth all the time with just two large stoppers, each placed in an utterly bomb slot - one at 1/3 and the other at 2/3s of the way up the offwidth. Both can be placed from solid, stemmed stances. Both placements are classic and couldn't be more solid; they are however back a ways in the crack (but obvious if you are looking) so each needs an extended trad draw. I use an HB Alloy offset #11 for the first slot and a Wild Country Rock #11 (green) for the second.
This healyje guy is handing out bad advice. Loose flakes in the crack are from someone taking a fall on a stopper and ripping the flake out. Big cam for that section is the answer.
i have to agree with james comment. the gear comment is pretty lame. sure, anybody who climbs dod's a 100 times could do it with 2 stoppers. most people on it their first time will be glad they brought a piece or 2 to fist/off-fist size.
Well, James, maybe you've just been too damn busy on the pitch to actually bother looking at it, but at 1/3 and 2/3 of the way up p2 there are two absolutely BOMB large stopper slots. Nothing about either placement is remotely loose, a result of "someone falling on a stopper", in any way fragile, or fiddly - both are simple drop-in bomb slots available from good stem stances and I'd happily dive on either one all day long.
We did this line yesterday. I brought 2 4 inch cams for the offwidth on Dod's. I could see the nut placements Joseph talks about. But my god, who wouldn't just want to walk a couple big cams with them for the second half of the pitch instead of sketching and fussing about with their arm 3 feet back in the crack? The extra weight of the cams is pretty trivial given this pitch is vertical, not overhanging. Joe, i love you, but your advice is pretty specific to nuts like you who have this wired and can lead it with just 2 nuts on your rack. (Also Dastardly, which I always love, would be 10a whether it was at Smith Rock's Lower Gorge, Joshua Tree, Paradise Forks, Broughton, etc. Or just call it 9plus?)

A save-the-date might be your guests' first impression of your big event, but is it imperative that it arrive embossed on heavy cardstock? With so many paper-light or paperless options out there, your wedding stationery could be the simplest way to trim back your budget and help you afford that honeymoon in the Maldives!
- Investigate printing options. Letterpress may be the ticket to an expensive-looking invitation, but the price usually matches the appearance. Look into thermography, which provides similar raised printing for much less than traditional letterpress. Or, for casual wedding invites, laser printing is fast and inexpensive.
- Go paperless. Evite may have been the first to market with online invitations, but plenty of other services have followed suit with gorgeous templates and customization options to create the online save-the-date or wedding invitation of your dreams. Try Paperless Post, Glo, or Pingg. Most options allow you to send an invitation and field RSVPs without a single stamp. Even if you send paper invitations, cut down on costs by asking guests to RSVP by email or on a password-protected website.
- Print your own. If you're a whiz in Photoshop (or have a good pal who is), then think about designing and printing your own invitations and stationery. It might be more work, but you'll have the flexibility to choose any printing method that works with your budget, and you'll have the satisfaction of creating works of art for your big day!

Geographic information systems major
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful new technology having a major impact on many professions. It is an information system that uses computer-based maps generated from data collected in the field in person, by photographs or by satellite. GIS can help people manage resources more effectively, manage local government assets more economically and analyse data precisely. The greatest impact of GIS has been on the mapping industry. This major provides students with the skills to analyse geographic data and help people with decision-making in a range of areas, such as engineering, planning, environmental science, commerce and surveying.
Career opportunities
Geographic Information Systems Manager or Spatial Information Analyst in Local Government, State and Commonwealth Government agencies and private sector organisations in applications such as environmental assessment, planning and land development.
Surveying major
This program provides students with the opportunity to apply new and increasingly sophisticated computing technology to surveying and mapping projects. In addition to the core analytical and scientific skills, students undertake studies in global positioning systems, digital mapping, mine surveying, land planning and geographic information systems. The program provides students with a good mixture of practical and theoretical training in surveying and mapping.
Career opportunities
Surveying Technologist with private organisations, a Mine Surveyor, Supervising Engineering Surveyor and with experience, Manager of Survey Operations in Commonwealth, State and Local Government, or construction organisations.
Professional accreditation
The Bachelor of Spatial Science Technology (Surveying) program is accredited by the Surveyors Board of Queensland and is recognised in every Australian state and in New Zealand through reciprocal arrangements. The degree, together with relevant industry experience, enables registration as a graduate surveyor with the Queensland Surveyors Board.

The WBC (World Boxing Council) has decided that Chad Dawson's controversial second-round TKO win over Light Heavyweight Champion Bernard Hopkins on Oct. 15 will be ruled a technical draw. Dawson lifted Hopkins off of him during the bout and sent the champion crashing to the canvas where he suffered a separated shoulder. Hopkins didn't want to continue and referee Pat Russell called it a TKO since he didn't rule Dawson's maneuver to be a foul.
Most fans figured the WBC would eventually rule a no contest or something similar and it didn't take them long to do so. Therefore, Hopkins is still the WBC champion. However, the WBC doesn't have the power to overrule the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) and they may not decide to change the outcome of the match. If they don't then the result will officially be ruled a second-round TKO for Dawson. The commission probably won't make a ruling until December though.
This may seem a little strange, but the WBC doesn't have the power to overrule the commission. They can only rule within their own organization and who holds the belt. If the 29-year-old Dawson is interested in becoming the WBC titleholder he's going to have to face the 46-year-old Hopkins again. It's assumed that the WBC will give him this opportunity once Hopkins shoulder has healed.
Hopkins was happy with the decision of course and said justice was done by the WBC. But Gary Shaw, whom promotes Dawson, said he's pretty disappointed in the move, but is confident that the boxing organization will place Dawson back in his number one ranking, meaning Hopkins will have to fight him since he's the mandatory challenger.
Shaw said Hopkins fouled Dawson first by draping himself over his boxer's back and Dawson simply tried to get his opponent off of him. He said he accepts the ruling, but still doesn't agree with it. Hopkins has filed a protest with the CSAC and wants it to change the result to a disqualification win for himself. However, if the commission does change the official result it's more likely they'll rule it a no decision or a technical draw.
WBC boss Jose Sulaiman came to his decision after watching a videotape of the bout and felt that Dawson intentionally lifted Hopkins off of him, but didn't meant to cause any damage. He also took into consideration the medical report on Hopkins to make sure he wasn't faking an injury. In addition, when other unintentional fouls are committed, such as head butts, the fight is ruled a technical draw if it has to be stopped in the first four rounds. If the fight enters the fifth round and is stopped due to injuries sustained by accidental fouls then it goes to the scorecards.
While many fans feel Hopkins got what he deserved because they perceive him as a dirty fighter, the WBC ruling was still the right one to make. Dawson will now have the opportunity to prove he can beat him with boxing skills alone the next time they meet.

Newegg.com, one of America's leading online retailers of computer hardware and related sales, on its official Twitter page admitted to a botchup with one of its long-term partners that resulted in several customers who ordered Intel Core i7 processors receiving what it calls "Demo Boxes". These boxes probably are used to demonstrate what the boxes look like or weigh, or probably it's a case of "adulteration", forgery, and counterfeiting. Each of these so-called demo boxes contain a completely non-functional dummy of the processor, heatsink fan, and the instruction leaflet. When opened, the three don't really look like mockups, but when packed into the box, can easily pass off as the product. Newegg swung into action after several customers got back to it reporting "fake Core i7 920" chips. Many of them were taken aback when their $290 investment yielded a big chunk of plastic, and a slab of metal on which is strapped on the processor's IHS. The chunk of plastic is molded roughly to the shape of an HSF, and a sticker of the HSF's top was pasted, so it could be visible from the little window on the box that lets you see the HSF. Newegg said that it has acknowledged that a number of "demo boxes" were shipped, and that its staff is working directly with each of the affected customers to resolve the issue at the earliest. It kind of begs the question: where did so many so-called demo boxes come from, and why are there so many of them? Video of a disgruntled customer unboxing a "demo box", and statement from Newegg follow after the break. Statement from Newegg: Image courtesy: Overclockers.com community members dreadrok, nix. Video by YouTube member publicstunt
nice coverup attempt newegg, cause im sure intel makes marked + serial numbered "demo boxes" complete with fake cpus with fab labeling on them and coolers that look like they are carved out of polystyrene, lol plus the "booklet" that looks like some blank index cards stapled together. This comes extremely close to topping the woodscrew fermi *Edit* According to hardwarecanucks even the box it comes in is fake
looks like a cover up to me if it was a demo it wouldnt look like that and why have a fake cpu and fan
I can answer to the "WTF is this ugly thing?" question about the cooler from the last pic: That is a piece of cheese, from my country, and Intel attached to it four legs for obvious reasons: the cheese has the CPU inside, and it can walk around the house and compute jobs, like flushing the WC or annoying your girlfriend with some questionable smell. There is indeed a problem, Intel forgot to print the manual, and it contained instructions on how to melt the cheese if you decided the CPU would better suit your computer. This is all part of the Intel campaign "Cheese is your friend; Say cheese!", which will be disclosed after the NDA is lifted.
its a cover up. the threads on this showed very clearly the boxes have incredibly poor english - these are not intel demo boxes, but clear fakes designed to rip someone off. Sochet? batch numbers for demo boxes? I wont even go into how many typos this has
Your comment brought up a memory of buying a discount CD drive at Frys once!!! Insert tha cayday drave! hahahahhahahha i noticed like everything was spelled wrong when i got home.
http://hardocp.com/article/2010/03/05/newegg_selling_fake_intel_cpus There's apparently 300 counterfeit units (not just demo boxes) as well (which are the ones in the pictures and the YouTube video).
actually, i see why they made it the way they did. metal CPU, solid 'heatsink' and the pamphlet - so it would look the same if it was X-rayed in an airport. This may be a strong clue that the 'deception' occured overseas, or at least interstate from the warehouse they shipped from.
the german is perfect on this box....no Typos,and it sounds native... makes me wonder, if it has been produced here?
they use many "difficult" words, they are simply too complicated,"educated" to be used by anyone not native... "thermolösung" for example this is 100% fake.... look how the cpus pcb is not even straight, it has curves!
Intel has nothing in Germany so I wonder how those counterfeit CPUs could get into the supply chain: http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/manufacturing/manufacturing_qa.htm
private production, someone at newegg, who now has a nice stash of money... maybe one of their packers, is corrupt? the proc is not from intel, as far as i can tell i bet, this hasnt to do with anything "official" (the info on the intel side is from pre 2006, if i read correctly... just wanted to tell you that )

The small medieval borough of Newport is sited on the southern estuary shore of the River Nevern within Newport Bay on the main coastal route from Cardigan through to St Davids in north Pembrokeshire.
Crown copyright:RCAHMW
Reference number: HLW (D) 15
OS map: Landranger 145
Unitary authority: Pembrokeshire
South of the coastal plain which is between 50m and 100m high, the ground rises steeply to the heights of Carningli at 347m which dominates the open moorland of the northern Preseli Hills. This striking natural setting and the lack of large scale post-medieval and modern development of the town and its surrounding area mean that its medieval topography is well-preserved and that the component elements of a medieval Marcher lordship — town, fields, mills, common pastures — are either fossilized in the present landscape or persist as working elements.
This Anglo-Norman landscape created by the Fitzmartin lords of Cemais overlies, but has not wholly obliterated, an earlier, native Welsh landscape of dispersed settlement. In some areas, the present day boundary between enclosed farmland and open moor has retreated from the limits of earlier cultivation, and former fields flanking access tracks to open grazing areas are preserved. In others, a mass of small square fields and cottages represent late encroachment on to open moorland in the 1830s and 1840s, a period of distress and land hunger, partially alleviated by emigration.
Higher up the slopes over a plateau of land below the crags of Carningli are hut circles and attached enclosures, with radiating boundaries of assumed prehistoric date. The drystone-walled enclosures of Carn Ingli do not conform to standard Iron Age hillfort types and a Neolithic date has been suggested. A multi-disciplinary study in advanced terrain modelling mapping techniques has recently been undertaken over Carningli Common, inspired in part by earlier work involving detailed mapping of archaeological features from oblique air photographs of the north slopes of the Preselis; this project highlighted the area's wealth of surviving archaeological remains and demonstrated its great potential for further interpretation.
A full published description for this landscape area is available as a pdf download within the Related Articles section below.
The area is entirely within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Preseli Environmentally Sensitive Area. The area includes: part of Carningli Common Site of Special Scientific Interest; Carreg Coetan Arthur Neolithic burial chamber Guardianship Site; Carn Ingli camp and Newport Castle (unoccupied parts) Scheduled Ancient Monuments; Newport and Newport Parrog Conservation Areas.
Criteria: 2,3
The discrete block of upland centred on Carningli at the north west end of the Preseli Hills contains a wealth of relict archaeological and other remains, some persisting as working elements in the landscape today, and the whole representing diverse land use and organization from the prehistoric, medieval and later periods.
well-preserved prehistoric ritual and funerary monuments, defensive sites, settlements and field systems; Newport planted medieval castle, town and borough; dispersed post-medieval and later period settlements and enclosures.

The Democrats' "Bush's Debt" Problem.
