Neo iON PODGM4V6
The Neo iON PODGM4V6 is the easiest way to attach an iPod/iPhone to your 2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. Plug into the bottom of your device and you will not only be able to charge your iPod/iPhone, you will get HD Quality sound from your car speakers. Using your vehicles radio or steering wheel controls, you will be able to control tracks and volume - all while still being able to control everything from your iPod/iPhone. All of this, plus it's a Universal kit - which means it works with many other vehicles by simply changing the radio harness.
30-pin iPod / iPhone Car Kit
Designed specifically to connect Apple products with a 30 pin dock connector seamlessly to your factory radio for music playback.
HD Quality Sound
Get the best possible sound from your device with HD Audio. This product provides a direct link from your vehicle's radio to your iPod/iPhone/Other Device, so you can experience excellent sound quality. FM Transmitters are unable to provide full quality sound because they transmit over the radio - the PODGM4V6 connects directly to your vehicle for a full quality audio connection.
All new iPod/iPhones require 5v charging for power. Many accessories do not offer 5v charging and will only charge first generation iPhones and very old iPods. Our product allows you to jam out while driving and then arrive at your destination with a fully charged device.
Simple Control From Radio
Control your audio device using the buttons on your radio. Next track, previous track, and volume control are all basic features we take for granted. This adapter integrates these important car stereo features with your device allowing the car to have control. If you have steering wheel radio controls they will work for your iPod and iPhone.
Unlock Mode
Unlock mode is important for drivers with passengers often in the car. When unlocked the iPod/iPhone controls and display are fully functional and work like normal. Watch out, because many adapters from popular vehicle manufacturers simply display the vehicle's logo on the screen and do not allow use of the iPhones controls.
When you turn off the radio, answer a phone call, or disconnect from your vehicle, the song playing will automatically pause. Turning the radio back on, hanging up the call, or connecting your iPod back to the radio, will cause the song to resume playback right where it left off. This feature is especially good for audio books and long DJ mixes.
Online Audio Streaming
No restrictions on how you can use your iPhone/Android means online streaming music sources will still be able to play through this adapter. Pandora and many other applications support adapters with track control features (remote, steering wheel or radio).
Universal Adapter
Universal adapters are not vehicle specific and can be used in many makes and models. When you get a new compatible vehicle, just move the adapter over. If this is a wired adapter you may just need to purchase a new vehicle harness ($14.99+) if your vehicle is compatible.
Compatibility Notes:
- External Disc Player, Disc Changer or Tape Player if present must be disconnected. CD Players/Changers built into the radio will not need to be disconnected.

Members of the board of the Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting in West Chester visited the VOA offices in Washington, D.C. this week to learn more about the organization.
"The VOA is a best-kept secret for many Americans, but is a primary source of accurate news for 134 million people each day in 45 languages," said Ken Rieser, VOA Museum board chair. "Its mission has always been to broadcast accurate news in oppressed countries that are media-censored or democracies at risk."The VOA Museum in West Chester is the only attraction in the U.S. that shares the history of the VOA and Cincinnati radio's role during World War II and the Cold War.
Earlier this year, West Chester Township Trustees entered into a lease agreement with the museum's board, putting them in charge of maintaing the landmark and allowed them to raise funds as a non-profit corporation.
- Story: Anniversary of VOA marks beginning of national museum
- Story: Voice of America Museum rich in Cincinnati history
- Story: Voice of America Museum Board gets official go ahead
It will take roughly $12 million to convert it into the revenue-generating museum.
Before that happens, people can tour the museum, 8070 Tylersville Road, this Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.voamuseum.org.

A new search for missing Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux is planned Saturday.
The search is being coordinated by Al Mignacci, a Raleigh man who has been involved in other searches for missing people.
Bordeaux, 24, was last seen April 14, 2012, after leaving a bar on Ramsey Street, near Interstate 295, to return to her home about a half-mile away.
The Army recently declared Bordeaux legally dead so her family would be eligible for survivor's benefits.
Volunteers and certified cadaver dogs are needed, a release said.
Those wanting to take part should be at the Marathon Gas Station at 7805 Ramsey St., off Elliott Bridge Road, at 9 a.m., the release said.
Everyone must be checked in and briefed, the release said.
Volunteers should dress appropriately for walking in areas that include swamps, briars, thickets, creeks, ticks and poison ivy.
Bring a backpack with supplies such as snacks, food, insect repellent and sunscreen.
For more information, call 919-624-6524.

Suzie Marsh Collectable Sculptures
ZSL has invited Suzie Marsh to introduce a new range of sculptures to support their work with endangered species.
Many of the world's animals are under threat from habitat destruction, poaching and pollution and the conservation of animals and their habitats is fundamental to ZSL's mission. The range depicts animals considered to be most at risk
Suzie's initial sculptures are always undertaken in clay, which she finds a fluid medium for expression. This can be fired and finished in her own workshop or translated into another medium depending upon its eventual purpose.
Most of her present work is finished in bronze resin, a material which is sensitive enough to reproduce every finger mark from the original work. Although this is a very modern material it is finished using the same painstaking hand methods as Suzie's other work.

Posted 5:20 PM 5/4/2012 : Task force continues looking for Isabel Celis
TUCSON - The investigation into Isabel's disappearance is now into its 14th day. The task force that's been put together to find the little girl continues its efforts. Tucson Police Chief Roberto Villasenor says, "We have gathered all the forensics who know we're going to gather, analyzing everything , we've been able to eliminate some people."
But they haven't pinpointed who's responsible. Villasenor adds,
"and that's goal of this investigation along with trying to find Isabel."
The FBI loaned them four analysts plus Tucson Police has assigned three, all of them working with detectives.
" We have seven analysts working full time to categorize and pull together all of these tips and the information provided by and following up on these tips and trying to put into a searchable data base that we're able to go back and review and look at."
Tucson Police report nearly 900 leads in this case, and they're all being investigated. It's time consuming but necessary.
Also, a question many are asking "Will they find Isabel alive." The chief says, " My hope is that we will find Isabel that she will be safe and that we will bring her back safely, whether she is or not I have to remain open to the option that she is not and I have to make sure we preserve the investigation in case we are doing a much more criminal investigation in case she is injured or not alive."
News 4 has learned, the cost of overtime as of right now is at $250,000. Chief Villasenor expects the cost to go up as high as a $1,000,000.

Fur is a synonym for hair, used in reference to non-human animals, usually mammals, particularly those with extensive body hair coverage. The term is sometimes used to refer to the body hair of an animal as a complete coat, also known as the "pelage". Fur is also used to refer to animal pelts which have been processed into leather with the hair still attached, as is the custom in the making of fur coats in certain fashion trends. The words fur or furry are also used, more casually, to refer to hair-like growths or formations; particularly when the subject being referred to exhibits a dense coat of fine, soft "hairs."
Animal fur, if layered, rather than grown as a single coat, may consist of short ground hair, long guard hair, and, in some cases, medium awn hair. Mammals with reduced amounts of fur are often called "naked", such as naked mole rat and naked dogs.
An animal with commercially valuable fur is known within the fur industry as a furbearer. The use of fur as clothing and/or decoration is considered controversial by some people: most animal rights advocates object to the trapping and killing of wildlife, and to the confinement and killing of animals on fur farms.
Fur has been a major challenge for 3D computer graphics artists due to its visual complexity and physical properties. The first movie which made extensive use of CGI fur was Pixar's 2001 film Monsters, Inc..
Nature of fur[edit]
Fur usually consists of two main layers:
- Ground hair (known also as undercoat or down hair) — the bottom layer consisting of wool hairs, usually wavy or curly without straight portions or sharp points; down hairs tend to be shorter, flat, curly, and more numerous than the top layer. Its principal function is thermoregulation; it maintains a layer of dry air next to the skin and repels liquid water, thus providing thermal insulation.
- Guard hair — the top layer consisting of longer, generally coarser, nearly straight shafts of hair that stick out through the underfur. The distal ends of the guard hairs provide the externally visible layer of the coat of most mammals with well-developed fur. This zone of the coat displays the most marked pigmentation and gloss, including coat patterns adapted to display or camouflage. It also is adapted to shedding water and blocking sunlight, protecting the undercoat and skin from outside factors, such as rain and ultraviolet. Many animals such as cats erect their guard hairs as part of their threat display when agitated.
As a rule, mammals with well-developed down hairs and guard hairs also have large number of awn hairs; awn hairs begin their growth much as guard hairs do, but change their mode of growth, usually when less than half the length of the hair has emerged. This portion of such a hair is the so-called awn. The rest of the growth is thin and wavy, much like down hair. In many species of mammals the awn hairs comprise the bulk of the visible coat. The proximal part of the awn hair shares the function of the down hairs, whereas the distal part aids the water-shedding function of the guard hairs, though their thin basal portion prevents their being erected like true guard hairs.
Use in clothing[edit]
In clothing, fur is leather with the hair retained for its insulating properties. Fur has long served as a source of clothing for hominoids including the Neanderthal. Animal furs used in garments and trim may be dyed bright colors or to mimic exotic animal patterns, or shorn down to imitate the feel of a soft velvet fabric. The term "a fur" is often used to refer to a fur coat, wrap, or shawl.
Usual animal sources for fur clothing and fur trimmed accessories include fox, rabbit, mink, beavers, ermine, otters, sable, seals, coyotes, chinchilla, raccoon, and possum. The import and sale of seal products was banned in the U.S. in 1972 over conservation concerns about Canadian seals. The import and sale is still banned even though the Marine Animal Response Society estimates the harp seal population is thriving at approximately 8 million.[1] The import, export and sales of domesticated cat and dog fur were also banned in the U.S. under the Dog and Cat Protection Act of 2000.[2]
The manufacturing of fur clothing involves obtaining animal pelts where the hair is left on the animal's processed skin. In contrast, making leather involves removing the hair from the hide or pelt and using only the skin. The use of wool involves shearing the animal's fleece from the living animal, so that the wool can be regrown but sheepskin shearling is made by retaining the fleece to the leather and shearing it.[3] Shearling is used for boots, jackets and coats and is probably the most common type of skin worn.
Fur is also used to make felt. A common felt is made from beaver fur and is used in high-end cowboy hats.[4]
Most animal rights activists are opposed to the trapping and killing of wildlife, and the confinement and killing of animals on fur farms. According to Humane Society International, over 8 million animals are trapped yearly for fur, while more than 30 million were raised in fur farms.[5]
According to Statistics Canada, 2.6 million fur-bearing animals raised on farms were killed in 2010. Another 700,000 were killed for fur by traps.[6]> . Based on a controversial animal rights video, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) allege that fur farming in China is particularly inhumane.[7]

Sonic Syndicate
Only Inhuman
When we last visited Sonic Syndicate, they were peddling their Pivotal Rockordings debut Eden Fire, which evidently raised eyebrows over at Nuclear Blast. Despite the label transference, Only Inhuman isn't far removed from its predecessor. Besides looking and sounding a tad more aggressive, they're still playing Gothenburg-influenced melodic death metal that owes a great deal to Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Soilwork, and other bands that paved the way for this particular shtick. Similar to fellow Swedes Blinded Colony, however, Sonic Syndicate fail to break new ground, but instead turn in a marketable by-the-numbers sophomore effort.
Naturally, requisite melodeath elements are the features of Only Inhuman – upbeat, keyboard-laden songs are filled with crunchy guitar riffs that enter and exit as needed, until the chorus demands full attendance, while clean vocals and growls cascade overtop. Melodious leads pop up frequently too, in addition to fitting drum accompaniment, which fills occasionally enhance. Though the vocals are arguably gruffer than those on Eden Fire – it's been a while for me, however – the immaculate production does its part to polish the edges to the point that they become innocuous. In other words, the production is suitable, yet smooths the razor-sharp sound that many melodeath fans prefer.
Sonic Syndicate usually mirror either Dark Tranquillity or Soilwork, and rarely, if ever, shy away from a formulaic approach to a style that's all-too-riddled with unoriginality. In numbers like "Aftermath," "Blue Eyed Fiend," "Psychic Suicide," "Double Agent 616," "Denied," "Callous," and others, the influences are very apparent and thus very distracting. "Enclave" gives momentary differentiation in ballad form – as does t.A.T.u. cover "All About Us" – but still remains under the melodeath umbrella.
For the most part, Only Inhuman is a record that seasoned metalheads will purposely overlook, because not only has this style been ostensibly explored to its fullest extent, but Sonic Syndicate are also newcomers to it, having formed a mere two years ago. For previous generations who have an affinity for melodic death, or even just a casual interest, time and money are better invested in output from the 1990s.

Sandboxed? Or Did I Do Something Wrong?
Posted 04 August 2006 - 07:22 AM
We had a site that, largely thanks to things I learned here, was search engine friendly and had lots of original content and was doing quite well. Every month we'd see about 10% more traffic than the month before and got to about 3500 unique visitors per month, mostly from search.
The site was started to simply support our eBay sales and things were working well. Sales were coming in from the site as well as ebay and we made the decision that our-generic-ebay-id.com was very unprofessional sounding so we bought our-company-name.com.
After setting up a revamped version of the site on the new domain we set up 301 redirects on the old site and all seemed ok, much of the search engine traffic was going to the old domain and redirected but the new domain was getting some traffic too.
Over the first couple of months (April and May) there was a neglegable drop in traffic but I put this down to the weather heating up - we do seem to be affected with a summer slow down so I wasn't worried.
Unfortunately this trend has continued month on month and the last few weeks we've seen a significant drop in traffic, to the point where it looks like this month might bring less than 500 visitors from the engines :-(
Although the design has changed somewhat, the new design 'should' actually be more search friendly so I don't think this is the cause. All of the old content is still there with new content added regularly, so I just don't get why the drop.
Any ideas?

new domain = aging delay
Posted 04 August 2006 - 07:40 AM
So would it have been better to have kept the site where it was and set the new domain up as an 'about our company' type site for a while until it aged?
If so, would it benefit me to move the site back to the old domain for a few months or am I chasing shadows with that?
Posted 04 August 2006 - 11:31 AM
I know Google has gone through a couple of updates since then, so there's no guarantee that things still work exactly as they did when the article was written. But it might be worth at least experimenting to see if that will do the trick for you.
Posted 04 August 2006 - 12:16 PM
There seems to be a bit of controversy about 302s, I can see the logic but I'm not sure if it's the way to go. One thing I read was an article about Business.com, who apparently incorrectly used a 302 to redirect and got penalized for it - had the writer got the wrong end of the stick?
As the site has permanently moved to a new home, would I not be gaming the engines by using a 302 instead of a 301?
Posted 04 August 2006 - 01:04 PM
Not familiar with the Business.com article, so I can't comment on that one...

These pages were both in the #2 slot on google for my fairly uncompetitive keywords. Five days later google had updated the results to point to the new domains.
Today- 10 days later - the one is #3, and google is starting to return results for the other pages on the site.
The pages were removed from the first domain 6 weeks ago, and blank place holders put up. Even the blank place holders held the search results, which I assume is from the inbound links.
I don't know whether this points at a work around, or if I'll lose the rankings and go into the age delay. Only time will tell.
From experience, my new sites since the age delay filter was added mostly seem to get included in spite of the filter. The sites that go bink and have dozens of pages get slammed. The sites that only have a few pages and then slowly grow with a page or two a week don't get filtered out. That could be a part of the filter. I think the filter was added to block huge scraper sites. Building the site slowly might be a way to get past the filter. Then again, I don't have any ads on the sites other than text links to other sites.
PS to ROLF - what do you sell on eBay? are you using a blog to promote your auctions? I am looking for people who do a good job of promoting their auctions with websites and blogs.
Posted 08 August 2006 - 02:04 AM
That's because the aging delay only affects fairly competitive phrases.
Posted 08 August 2006 - 02:41 AM
Google has it at #1 out of 542,000 for a search on the first three words of the home page's title, and #22 of 393,000 for three words from the title, but don't appear in a single string. Obviously, these aren't highly competitive searches. The same searches in quotes return 9 and 0 respectively. But in my experience, the best you can hope for with a new site is to rank for the company name and maybe some unique string of text.
Posted 08 August 2006 - 02:47 AM
I always build my sites around uncompetitive terms then add more competitive terms later.
My Seo skills aren't great, but I get quite a bit of traffic from the uncompetitive terms.
The site I built last week has already got people posting in my comments section, so as time goes by should be a good site.
Most of what I've learned I learned here.
Everytime I think about this I kick myself for delaying the rebuild of a big site I built 6-8 years ago and abandoned. That site was ranking well, and now has fallen off as a result of neglect.
Posted 08 August 2006 - 02:58 AM
This is a one word keyword phrase. Google has me at #2 of about 97,600 results. Yahoo has me at #10 of 97,800. However, most of those results are copycat pages of people chasing affiliate commissions. My page is a long negative review so content wise it's more attractive.
Using the Wordtracker results I have top ten results for four of the top five search variations using the word on both Yahoo and Google. MSN is moving all over since I built the new site.
Not bad for an hours work. I hope they stick.

Terry - we sell cat products, have a look at my sig for all the info (resisting getting into self promotion mode here ). I'm not a blogger anyway so I can't help you on that one.
I kind of look at eBay as a disaster waiting to happen these days (See what's happening to AOL at the moment?) so my focus is now on using auctions to promote the website, rather than the other way round.

Climate change didn't happen on its own.
Our global extraction, transport and use of fossil fuels causes global warming and climate change, sickens thousands of Americans and poisons our air and water.But a brighter future is possible. Over the next three years, Greenpeace will:
1. Join local communities to shut down dangerous, dirty coal plants all across the United States, and support them in a transition to a renewable future. Read More.2. Advocate for strong laws to curb global warming and put America on a path to clean energy.3. Expose climate deniers, like the Koch Brothers, and hold them publicly accountable for providing millions of dollars to lobby against climate and clean energy policies.4. Kick-start an Energy Revolution by advocating for clean-energy solutions like solar and wind power.
Research has shown that with current technology, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and geo-thermal can provide almost all of our primary energy demand.Join the movement to get coal out of the way of clean energy, and give our elected officials the courage they need to protect our health and environment.

About Michael Becker
Most likely yes, that's the safest assumption at this point.
This isn't enforcing copyright. This is guilt by accusation with no due process.
Oh, how bout a little due process? These are fines levied on ACCUSATIONS. There is no due process here at all.
ATT has actually been doing this for several years. The only way around it I've found is using an unlocked phone. I have an unlocked Samsung Focus I gave my daughter, and they didn't add a data plan to it. If you use a phone that is still ATT locked and branded, they'll definitely get ya.
A gradual building of applause, usually starting with one person clapping slowly, and ending with an enthusiastic standing ovation. Generally shows approval for an underdog in a come from behind victory or after losing with pride intact.
I learned this from The West Wing. Honestly, I learned a lot from that show.
Since it specifies mp3, what if they just converted everything to wma, or ogg vorbis, or flac? Would that then make them not covered under the law?
We are actually finding a lot of problems with apple devices in the corporate environment, I imagine its even worse in schools.
I'm currently trying to sort out why Apple's recommended course for action for buying software for employees to use is to buy a code to give to the employee to redeem in their PERSONAL iTunes acct. So if the employee leaves, the software does too.
Straight up, Apple is moving farther and farther away from being functional in corporate/enterprise/educational environments, yet because they are trendy everyone wants them, and it is causing huge headaches for everyone.
You mean like the "rights" extended to Bradley Manning?
Man, I had no idea Century Media was doing that. Metal was built on the free sharing of music. What a bunch of douche nozzles.
Y'know, sometimes I freaking love 4chan. Most of the time I hate them...but sometimes, they're just freaking genius.
Glad I'm not the only one, that was the first thing I thought of when I read them too.
It really sounds like a Kindle or a Nook would be awesome for you. I recommended a Kindle to my dad because he's been a voracious reader all his life, but his eyesight has been giving him more trouble over the years. With the e-readers, you change the font type and size to make it easier to read, and it's been fantastic for him. If you haven't already, go to Best Buy or something and play with one and see if it might help for you.
Sure works for movies too, bought Hunger Games blu-ray this weekend cause Amazon gave me an On-Demand version as well so I could watch it that way before it shipped. Normally the digital version is 15 bucks, the blu-ray was 20 with digital bundled. Got me to spend money I probably wouldn't have if I had to choose between them.
"Mtn" is actually the current spelling in the Mountain Dew logo, so he's using it the same way PepsiCo does.
Maybe cause you hide behind AC and are always abusive and off topic? That could be it.
I think this stops piracy in the same way naked girls stop people from eating meat.
I honestly don't understand why anyone would do a web startup in the US with our current software patent model in place. Seems to me you are better off setting up all your software overseas
I know the feeling. Between Netflix and My backlog of games on my shelf, pirating anything seems like too much effort.
Oh yeah, I was just using MP3 as an easy example of something pervasive that the public can easily recognize.

North Carolinas most famous novelist, Thomas
Wolfe, once wrote that the most romantic notion was not the desire to escape life,
but to prevent life from escaping you. Its
a sentiment with which North Carolinas most famous documentary filmmaker, Ross
McElwee, would probably agree. Indeed,
McElwee at times seems incapable of putting down his 16mm camera, for fear of letting some
vital moment of life escape captureeven if it proves a clumsy third wheel on the odd
blind date or, in the case of 1994s Time Indefinite, a massive distraction at his
own wedding.
Ross McElwee makes movies about Ross McElwee, which somehow manage to
spiral out towards universal concerns like mortality and existence in a way thats
quite comforting. Since he virtually invented
the first-person film essay with 1986s Shermans March, hes remained one
of its most reliable avatars. With an off-camera persona thats both self-deprecating
and amiable, his presence as narrator and interlocutor grounds each of his films in a warm
candor that makes interviewees offer up their lives and stories gladly, it would seem. It helps that he knows a good thing when hes
got one, which explains why Charleen Swansea, the directors former teacher and close
friend, turns up again and again in his movies. And
though hes lived in Boston for most of his adult life, McElwee remains drawn to the
south; his journeys home to see friends and family often mark the beginnings or endings of
films. In some respects, his films are
chapters in the ongoing work in progress that is his life. Where
Shermans March zeroed in on his bumbling
quest for true love, Time Indefinite and Six OClock News deal in married life and
the concerns of fatherhood.
Bright Leaves, the next
installment in the series, is about aging and legacy, so its fitting that it finds
the director moving outside of himself. He
discovered a dusty old print of Bright Leaf, a Hollywood melodrama whose plot
echoes a long-standing McElwee family legend; his own grandfather was a wealthy tobacco
baron until the patriarch of the Duke family (yes, that
Duke) allegedly stole the business out from underneath him. By
unraveling the tangled skein of his familys involvement in North Carolinas
tobacco heritage, McElwee is able to free-associate on health, wealth (he notes with a
smirk that there is no McElwee University to this day) and the nature of addiction.
It is this last element that underscores once again McElwees
prevailing obsession as camera-operator (Bright
Leaves sees the director taking on some help behind the camera; to promote father-son
bonding, he takes his son on as sound man.) A
non-smoker, McElwees examination of tobacco culture shows concern but not
condescension, and his description of the seductions of smoking finds a parallel in the
way he shoots his beloved home state. From
Winston-Salems manufacturing plants to the old money of Durhams Tobacco Road,
to the tiny plot of grass where his great-grandfathers factory once stoodnow
dubbed McElwee Parkhis camera always manages to find the human element buried under
the sediment of history. Another volume in
his ongoing chronicle of life in the New South, Bright
Leaves is further proof that what we pass on from generation to generation is
something intangible, even ifto cop another phrase from Wolfeyou cant go
home again.

Can someone explain this to me. I cant seam to rap my head around what exactly it does. Is it free? Does it just combined IGP with your GPU. Would there be any benefit for me. No IGPU
I tried using it to switch between onboard and addon when needed Use the IGP in Windows, once you start a game it should switch to the addon card and reroute video via IGP. Didn't seem to work well for me though. But that's basically what it should be doing
Hi Loads of info - http://www.lucidlogix.com/product-virtu-mvp.shtml Requirements In order to install VIRTU, Virtu Universal and Virtu MVP you system should have a minimum requirement capability. Please verify the following: 1.An integrated GPU, typically an Intel HDxxxx, is available. 2.A discrete GPU is installed in your system. 3.The integrated GPU is always enabled in your BIOS. Note: this is important as in many cases the integrated GPU will be disabled if a discrete GPU is added to the system. (We recommend setting the iGPU as the primary display adapter) In your Windows OS:4.Verify that you have the latest Intel® HD Graphics driver [through Intel's support page] 5.Verify that you have the latest driver for your dGPU [through NVidia/AMD support page] nb: looks like Virtu MVP is currently bundled with selected laptop and motherboard products - http://www.lucidlogix.com/mvp-product-list.shtml Edit available here - http://www.lucidlogix.com/driverdownloads-mvp.shtml atb (all the best) Law-II
I just tried this, my mobo supports it, i have the hd4000 and dedicated amd, with lucid enabled winsat was 7.2, with it disabled its 7.9. so??? whats the benefit other than power consumption?
Ok il try that, do you have to list the game or add it in preferences for it to work properly i wonder?
Lucid Virtu (when the display is attached to the IGP) copies the framebuffer from the dedicated card and displays it using the integrated chip. This allows the dedicated card to stay in a low power state when not needed, but turn on when needed without any user intervention. I believe there is about a 10% performance penalty when using this setup. It can also be done vice-versa where the Intel IGP is there for QuickSync video encoding and you use your dGPU as normal. This sort of technology is present in many laptops that have dGPUs via NVIDIA and AMD's proprietary methods, and falls under the names NVIDIA Optimus and AMD Enduro (formerly PowerXpress). These technologies work basically the same way, having the display outputs connected to the IGP and copying the framebuffer from the dGPU when in high performance mode.
Ok heres where this virtu may be quite useful- i just installed some old splintercell games that work fine on the igpu, but wont work on my dedicated 7950 because of driver issues and the age of the games[circa 2005 i think, anyways, if i asssign them a igpu profile in virtu, would that then let them run on igpu and possibly work, i know they work with the hd4000 becuase i played bit of em b4 i got the ded gpu? just a thought.
Scamware Must be a conspiracy to sell more motherboards and trick you into upgrading! Seriously, though, LucidLogix MVP doesn't seem to work for long if it works at all. Not just me, every mention of MVP in forums says the same thing. Overclocking will make it crash almost every time, and even at stock speeds it crashes at times. I set it up as instructed, in the right order and with all the latest drivers, but it just won't act right. So basically the iGPU is wasted real estate on the die that could be used for more cores or on-chip RAM, as nobody buys a "K" SKU and doesn't get a dedicated GPU - even a $50 video card will blow away the HD 4000. Just because Intel is headed towards SoC doesn't mean power users should be stuck without the no iGPU option such as the Sandy Bridge i5-2550K - one reason not to upgrade to Ivy. I went with Ivy Bridge because I was ignorant of the fact that PCIe 3.0 is irrelevant in this generation, since no available video cards can even saturate a 2.0 bus. But still maybe in a year or two it may pay off, but by then Haswell or Broadwell will be worth upgrading to - like I said, it's a conspiracy to make you keep buying more parts!
Problem you may encounter Hello all you fine peoples, Seeing as how I just spent a good chunk of time trying to fix a WinSAT.exe appcrash issue I was having I thought this could be of some help to readers. VirtuMVP repeatedly crashed my WEI (WinSAT.exe) which has a nasty habit of running itself once a week on default. Every Sunday at 1am (I believe that is the default time) WinSAT attempts to run the full assessment after installing VirtuMVP. Windows sees the change in configuration (installing VirtuMVP) and this results in the full test (if hardware environment remains the same assessment does not completely run). PC SPECS (as this may not happen to all of you): Core i7 2600K 3833 MHz ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe 8 GB G.SKILL ARES CL9 @2133 MHz EVGA GeForce GTX 560Ti 448-core 1.31 MB 2 x Corsair Force GT 120 MB RAID 0 Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: WinSAT.exe Application Version: 6.1.7601.17514 Application Timestamp: 4ce798fc Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.17651 Fault Module Timestamp: 4e21213c Exception Code: 00000879 Exception Offset: 000000000000cacd OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 4ad4 Additional Information 2: 4ad47ccfcaccd9679578c6aee301d17e Additional Information 3: c4a5 Additional Information 4: c4a56fa53fd4b50ab0cd9aee0792c13c
same hapend to me..i was wondering why!! then i get it..its just that when u rerun assesment it test ur igpu not dedicated gpu!! that is all... and that virtu work for me..its god thign saving electirc bils,,couse when u watch movies or surf u use igpu..,start ur game start ur dedicated!! that is prety ossom to me!! and i just read on some forum that there is some new technology zero core thats for crosfire option,if ur surfing ur card turn off starting ur game start the card.. and on virtu it just put ur card to idle!!
I turned off my Intel 3000 HD since I never used this feature anyway, and my HD 7950 is used for either crunching or gaming all day.
Hi, will add my question to this existing thread... So far it works, but only with the latest december 2012 drivers for Virtu MVP in Windows 8. That said, I was most interested in the power saving features (use the iGPU when not gaming). Well,...err.... now that it works I have been alternating between the iGPU HDMI output and the dGPU HDMI output (hot swapping the monitor cable) and there is ZERO difference in power consumption as shown on my APC UPS LCD display. GPU-Z shows the dGPU staying at idle herz's, that is 324 MHz, and 22% of TDP, the same in both scenarios. No dGPU hybernation or deep sleep, as I expected. Will delete Virtu MVP/disable iGP unless someone tells my testing is flawed.
You're not supposed to swap the cable, MVP does the swap for you. the reason you are getting the same power consumption is because you are using the iGPU in both scenarios.
Thanks Hood, that can be, but in either case, the dGPU values of 324 MHz, and 22% TDP, is not exactly "idle", much less "disconnected", and not "powersaving". Any chance of getting a powersaving benefit from Virtu?
I can't even get MVP to run without crashing if overclocked over 4.2 GHz, and I too was disappointed with yet another GREAT NEW FEATURE that doesn't work. Really, it was hard to tell what's going on with that very limited software, and AFAIK nobody's had any luck with it. I flushed it and haven't missed it at all.
Hi Hood, Well there are laptops being sold with varied "hybrid" tech, AMD Fusion I believe, Nvidia has it's own Hybrid, and Virtu was THE idea to manage 2 graphic processors of mixed brands. Battery saving was the goal or part of it. If this does not work, there could be lawsuits!
Last time i tried it the system average power usage was 20+ watts extra. I'll try it again at some point but i cannot see it beating the idle wattage the system runs at already ( 77w) but you never know . Another problem was it did not switch cards when needed and some times the other way around. One i really remember was Minecraft and it just was stuck on the iGPU.. In the end if it cannot manage to lower the systems idle power at least it's a fail for me..
I don't quite understand the logic behind this stuff. I want Lucid Virtu MVP as a software solution on my system. But apparently you strictly need their chip on a mobo even though i'm not interested in hybrid GPU usage at all. I just want their V-Sync without framerate cap and that performance improving thing they showcased for Skyrim.
If Lucidlogix added more support for games and drivers, Virtu MVP could be a really nice feature. In some games MVP give a nice performance increase, while in others performance might degrade slightly. Some games show artifacts when HyperFormance is enabled or don't work at all. Here are some benches. http://www.games.lt/g/news.news_full/30207.10?sev=part Up to 80% in AvP 2010, 32% in Mafia II, 29% in FC2, 24% in STALKER CoP and JC2. Performance increase depends a lot on game, settings, hardware and drivers.

Many incidents in transport are attributed to poor practices in the packing of cargo transport units, including inadequate securing of the cargo, overloading and misdeclaration of contents. This is of major concern particularly because the victims may be the general public or transport and supply chain workers, who generally have no control over the packing of such units.
The IMO/ILO/UNECE Guidelines for Packing of Cargo Transport Units were published in 1997 and provided a set of practical measures for ensuring the safe packing of cargo in containers, road vehicles and railway wagons. They applied to transport operations by all surface and water modes and to the entire intermodal transport chain.
In 2011, the International Maritime Organization, the International Labour Organization and the Economic Commission for Europe set up a group of experts to revise the Guidelines so that they would reflect the latest information, best practices and requirements on this matter. The three organizations decided to upgrade the revised guidelines to a Code of Practice by including more details and technical contents.
The Group of Experts held three sessions in 2011 and 2012 and completed a final draft of the Code of Practice providing guidance, not only to those responsible for packing and securing cargo, but also to those who receive and unpack such units. The Code of Practice also addresses issues such as training and the packing of dangerous goods.

OCALA, Fla.-- Action News uncovered a local rehabilitation treatment center for children is under fire after police say an employee broke a child's arm.
Page after page details a horrific scene inside the Vines facility. A 13-year-old boy's arm was snapped like a chicken wing.
What's even more concerning to Ocala police is a state agency report that shows employees at The Vines waited 12 hours before taking the teen to the hospital. In fact, the report says he was just given Tylenol.
"That delay is something that shouldn't occur," said Sgt. Angy Scroble.
Police say the teen's broken arm was caused by Lenox Seepersad, who is a mental health technician at the Vines. We went to Seepersad's home to ask him about the allegations. "I did not touch that child," said Seepersad.
Police tell us they have surveillance video that contradicts Seepersad's story. "It's the area between the elbow and shoulder and it's hard to break that without a great amount of force," said Scroble.
We did some checking and found out this isn't the first time the hospital has been investigated. Ocala police have 56 incidents on record since Nov. 1 of last year. DCF told us it has five open investigations.
We went to the hospital for answers but were sent away with a statement that reads: "Leadership at the Vines Hospital is working collaboratively with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration to address and resolve any of their concerns in order to lift the current admissions suspension. The Vines Hospital remains fully licensed by the agency and is totally operational with no disruption of services. The management and staff of the hospital takes the safety and well-being of its patients very seriously and remains completely dedicated and committed to providing the highest quality of care to individuals with special, and sometimes complex, mental health needs."
But the state report says the center is in "substantial non-compliance with state statutes." So, we called the state to ask what kind of incident would cause the center to lose its license.
A spokesperson told Action News the center is inspected and given the right to fix its mistakes. While that happens, a teen is recovering and one man is waiting to tell his story to a judge. "I'm waiting for my day in court," said Seepersad.
The moratorium will remain in place until its lifted by the state. Seepersad is charged with aggravated child abuse.

Cafe Matisse
Online Reservations
If you are a foodie you will find Café Matisse like no other place in the area. Their grazing menu never fails to amaze me. Rarely do I find the same dish twice ( can't go to often it is pricey $$$$$ ) . They way the different items are presented and blended is like a symphony for the taste buds. Be open minded and be hungry.
Living in this area it's easy to get distracted by all of the great restaurants in NYC (as well as around NJ). The only problem is either a) it's next to impossible to get a table or b) you end up spending a small fortune for a night out and end up with a less-than-stellar experience. This certainly isn't the case at Cafe Matisse. Excellent food, superior service and a warm, inviting environment all add up to a not-to-be-missed experience. We will gladly return and highly recommend to our friends and family around the area.
Upscale decor, but cozy atomosphere. Small portion dishes. Best BYOB restaurant in NJ.
This was our first visit to the restaurant. Made an early reservation and we were pleasantly surprised by the outside garden dining option. Wine very good which we purchased in their wine store on premises. Tasting menu was wonderful, preparation and quality outstanding. Wait service was attentive as restaurant was not yet busy. Will go again for special occasion
Dining at Cafe Matisse is always a treat!! The service is attentive, thoughtful and good humored and you never want for anything when you dine in their warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is simply stunning...both in its presentation of colors and design as well as in its coordination of flavors and textures. One can dine inside while enjoying the creative artwork or outside under the stars in the lush and peaceful garden. Always romantic and a joy to partake! One of our favorite places to enjoy, unwind and decompress! Bravo!
Cafe Matisse is by far the best restaurant in NJ! The service is wonderful - we had Steven who enjoys his job and is excellent at what he does. The food is on another level! Every fork full has its own fantastic taste! This is a place that everyone should enjoy at least once! It is my favorite restaurant and it was only my second time there! Can not wait to return!
We have gone to this restaurant for the past 15 years and it never disappoints. Peter's expert melding of flavors makes the food exceptional. Larry is always a delight and the rest of the staff is friendly and expert.
I have been coming to Cafe Matisse since 2001. It never gets old and it only becomes better with age like a fine wine. The place itself is so pretty- too bad it was raining and we could not dine in the quaint garden . The menu is set up like a high end NYC restaurant with a tasting menu, 3 or 4 courses at a very reasonable price point for the quality. Great little wine store up front with some amazing finds. The dishes are complex and the average person may be intimidated, so focus on the protein you enjoy and just let them do the rest because the flavors are so well married you cannot tell where one stops and the other begins. Desserts are to die for. My only complaint is getting in on a Saturday is impossible !
Awesome food, well prepared, menu extremely well thought out, served perfectly. There is nothing else that this restaurant needs to do.
Cafe Matisse never disappoints! My husband and I found this place 5 years ago and we come once or twice a year for either our birthday or anniversary. It's a great place for special occasions or just a romantic night out. The service is awesome and the food is even better! The chef is continually coming up with fabulous, magical dishes that thrill your palette! I highly recommend!
Can't say enough about Cafe Matisse. Everything is top notch!! Steve is the best waiter around, and this is coming from a girl from NYC.
As usual, Cafe Matisse is my favorite restaurant in New Jersey! Food, service, decor, presentation, and quality are without a doubt superb! And, the staff makes you feel like you're dining at home! There is no restaurant in New York City or New Jersey that can match it!
This was recommended by my parents who really liked it. Just finished our dinner and it was outstanding! Not only do I love the style and variety (tasting style) but the food was amazing. It is definitely pricey but worth every penny. The service and atmosphere were top notch as well. Everyone was very friendly.
The food was fabulous and very different from most restaurants. The outside patio was gorgeous. I can't wait to go there again!
What a special dinner for a super nite! The unique fusions of foods made, created delicious flavors and tastes combined to create a memorable dining experience. I can come back here again and again... and love everything about Cafe Matisse...
Went for a special occasion. And it was a wow. Great atmosphere, service and food.
Celebrated wedding anniversary milestone with my wife and children ... first time with the kids. Seated outside on back patio, which was pleasurable, despite some mosquito nuisance. A mix of the 3 and 4 course menu choices all were enjoyed, especially the sea bass, beef short ribs, and the crab cake. Consistently wonderful food presentation and taste.
A little pricey but quality was great. You get to choose from 3 or 4 course dinner. The portions are not huge but satisfying. Great presentation and eclectic menu. Outdoor garden dining is a plus .
My husband and I made a reservation at Cafe Matisse for his birthday dinner celebration and were very happy with the evening. The food was fun and yummy. The menu is creative and exciting! We loved that there is a little wine store in the front of the restaurant so you can either bring from home or buy there. We started out sitting inside and when a table opened up we moved outside. It was an excellent evening and we both are ready to go back again.
This is an absolutely delightful place, due to the creativity of the chef, the graciousness of the staff, and the serene surroundings. There is a beautiful outdoor space as well as a quiet and dignified dining room. It is a BYO, but wine also can be purchased at an adjoining shop with a small but thoughtful selection. We went for two nights in a row and were wowed both times. The wonderful memory of the braised ribs with soba noodles will remain with me for a very long time.
A walk down park avenue in Rutherford does not lead one to think you will be able to find outstanding chef inspired cuisine. Don't get me wrong I love the simple ,straight forward, and typical cuisine found in the restaurants in Rutherford, however Cafe Matisse really stands apart. From the initial greet by the Chef owner, to the final farewell, Cafe Matisse really understands what hospitality is all about. The staff is extremely warm but maintains a high level of professionalism at the same time. This is something that is lost at most NJ area restaurants. The food speaks for itself ; simply wonderful. You really can't do better this side of the Hudson River.
We arrived on time for our reservation, were met and welcomed by the host who could have been the owner. Seated in a cozy corner, and had a knowledgeable and attentive wait staff. Food was fantastic, and although I had 3 Savory and 1 Sweet a total of 2 plus 1 is more than enough. Romantic ambiance. Recommend.
Have to visit several time throughout the year as seasonal menu provides new gems to discover. Tasteful sensations!!!
This was my second time there. Very nice place very nice staff. It was also very nice that they mention the reason why were there to celebrate. Thanks you very much Cafe Matisse
This is our favorite restaurant by far. The dishes are so wonderfully complex and they are executed flawlessly! If you love trying new and amazing dishes this is the restaurant to go to!
What a lovely, lovely restaurant!! We have dined here twice this year, as their menu changes seasonally. The food is simply divine and amazing. The ingredients work so well together and my husband and I savored each bite of our dishes. I appreciate that they offer smaller portions so that you can try multiple dishes. Although, I must say I was full after my second savory dish. The ambiance is very romantic and cozy. The service is awesome. They take pride in attention to detail. We cannot wait until our next visit!
Went there for a second date, and we were both thoroughly impressed and blown away by the ENTIRE experience! Pricey, so expect to drop a significant amount, but by far was the best restaurant experience I have ever been to. Highly recommend!
It would take too long to write about how perfect our meal was. The easiest way to explain it was that we had seven of the 4 course sampler/grazer menu. Each dish was phenomenal. The swordfish made my husband actually drool. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will be coming back as soon as we can.
What can be said? Cafe Matisse is consistently one of the best restaurants in Bergen County! Scrumptious and delectable dining treats in a comfortable and warm atmosphere! Top notch service with a smile! Always a delight to dine their grazing menu and eat in a non rushed manner. Cafe Matisse you are simplified elegance! We will be back again and again!
My husband and I have dined here 6 or more times and each time is divine. The food is fantastic and the service is warm and helpful. The staff makes you feel like you are a welcome addition to their establishment. You cannot say enough about the food and its presentation. The garden dining experience is like no other.
This has become our favorite restaurant. The price is a bit high, but you totally get what you pay for. Great for special occasions and anyone looking for an amazing meal. The staff is extremely friendly as well.
The mountain of positive reviews already posted should provide the clue: this place is special. From the friendly and knowledgeable wait staff to the remarkable menu to the Nina Simone playing quietly through the stereo speakers, Mr. Anchovy can find nothing negative about his experience at Cafe Matisse. If you want a flavor adventure where you'll be assured of no children (price point, "grazing menu" pre-fixe and sophistication of menu will see to that), you owe it to yourself to make the trip and experience this place for yourself.
It's October and we lucked out with a gorgeous evening so we dined, outdoors, in their stunning garden! The food was better than ever, as well as the service and ambiance. if you haven't tried Matisse then you must!
This Restaurant IS Simply Outstanding In Every Way. ThE Staff And Service ARe Attentive And Congenial From The Moment You Walk In The DoOr. The Waitress Even Suggested We Might WaNt To Move Outside For DesSert, AndEent Out Of Her Way To ArRange THat For Us. The Food Was Superb. I Highly Recommend Café Matisse For Anyone Who SEeks Great Food And Great Service.
A charming destination with unique menu made this a perfect destination for a small celebration with friends. The food is very creatively constructed intermingling unexpected flavors, some more successful than others. We all thoroughly enjoyed but it might be too ambitious for some palates
I am a bit of a foodie, and love the idea of a tasting menu but have never really had the chance to experience it prior to Cafe Matisse. The menu was diverse and interesting without having too many options or being overwhelming. There was many choices that were adventurous without being so "out there" that might have scared off my husband. The portions were just enough and the presentation was flawless, but not fussy. And, most importantly, the food was outstanding! Our server was attentive and visibly excited to talk about and serve the courses, but not pushy at all. Obviously we loved this place.
Dined at Cafe Matisse the other night with friends. Larry, the host, is warm & cordial as always, service is perfectly attentive and food is spectacular. Well prepared, interesting blend of textures & flavors & just the right amount. We always opt for the (2) savory & (1) sweet. One of our absolutely all time favorite places to go, any season, for any occasion or none at all.
A joyful culinary experience that will delight not only your taste buds but all of your senses. Careful attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the casually elegant atmosphere, to the meticulous preparation and artful presentation of each dish, to the friendly and attentive staff. Cafe Matisse is an excellent choice for any special occasion. My wife and I just celebrated our 26th anniversary there a few days ago, and the experience could not have been more magical! Thank you Cafe Matisse for an unforgettable memory!!! It was well worth the price of admission.
Very nice restaurant with good food and very nice wait staff. Be advised that the food is artfully presented (meaning tiny portions) and dinner for two with tip will exceed $150. This is a restaurant for special occasions (unless you're wealthy).
End up here once a year and every time we wonder why we don't come more often. Always fantastic, creative food and great service. You try to eat your dish as slow as possible to make the meal last. Flavor combinations that you will never get anywhere else.
Though the food was excellent, the portions were small.
Excellent and romantic dinner. The food was like nothing I ever had before with a burst of flavors. Service was also very good!
Everyone was really professional and pleasant! The food was amazing.
for that special occasion with that special person, you can't pass up this place. The food is outstanding the staff very attentive and the atmosphere perfect. You,as I did, come away raving for chosing this place tohave a memorable meal.
I have eaten at this restaurant several times. I am never disappointed. The menu is innovative and flavorful. Service is always excellent.
the combination of creative, innovative food , a warm ambience and terrific service make this one of those places you just want to keep coming back to....Th wine store is gone , so make sure to bring a bottle of your best wine to complement the great experience.
Returning after 15years or more, we were pleasantly surprised at the sophisticated menu. The chef is very well trained and this place would pass muster in NYC. The staff was also excellent and well trained. A most enjoyable evening.
Cafe Matisse is for the special occasion. It can be romantic. Certainly it's unique. Rich food in the right size portions. Service is great.
From start to finish, Cafe Matisse is a wonderful dining experience! Creative and so delicious! The service could not be better!
Their dishes are amazingly unique and absolutely delicious!
