how to set my file to get a fixed ip addres even though the server is down.
If it is only for a temporary until the DHCP is up again you can always (as superuser/root) use the ifconfig command to set your IP for the desired interface.
ifconfig <interface> <ip-address>
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.166
This is however temporary and if the dhcpcd suddenly receives an address your interface would most likely be updated. Also if you reboot the machine or do a network restart it will also revert back to the old settings.
okey just forget about DHCP
okey just forget about DHCP server.
i have only one standalone system.
i do not want to fix my IP address every time using "ifconfig"
but whenever my system boot's i have to have a fixed IP address.
this is what i need.
I am not using Mandrake any more, but I did a few years ago and the network configuration was very straightforward.
Actual programs may have changed a little since I used Mandrake but it should be pretty straight forward.
If you are using X then I suggest you find the Network & Internet settings in the menus of system configuration. When the application starts you should be given a choice to configure your interface as either DHCP assigned address or manual assigned addresses, then it should give you options to fill in IP address, netmask and anything else that you need. This change will be permanent even after reboot.
Otherwise you can most likely use drakconf or drakconnect (don't remember the exact name) to accomplish this just as well from the shell.
Of course you could bang the config files directly, assuming Mandrake still is quite similar to a RedHat box an example of how to do this would be something like below.
Please back up any settings before you change them, if you do a mistake you can always go back. Personally I use RCS on my settings to be able to revert to an older version if necessary.
in /etc/sysconfig/network
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 <--- or eth1 etc depending on which is your LAN interface
You then need to tell the system where your nameserver sits
nameserver 192.168.0.253
Now all these IP's are just examples. You should of course change them to what is relevant for your system. After that a /etc/init.d/network restart command should bring them to effect.
yeah it works well.thanks.

Corporal Isaias Hernandez had his right leg mangled in 2004 in Iraq. He lost 70% of his thigh muscle. "The whole thing was gone," Hernandez explained. "You could see the femur."
Hernandez was one of the first to try a radical therapy to spark his body to regrow the lost tissue and function. Using what's called extracellular matrix from a pig, his body recruited its own stem cells to regrow muscle, nerves and vessels.
"A few days after the surgery, there was some twitching, some spasming, some tingling that wasn't there before," he said. "And then in a few weeks, I started seeing better results in physical therapy."
Regenerative medicine pioneer Dr. Stephen Badylak explained the biologic implant as the glue that holds the cells together, a scaffolding with a plan.

The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center in San Antonio announced it is getting into the regenerative medicine business, providing donated cells and tissue to researchers all over the globe. The venture is called GenCure.
"GenCure's mission is to provide state-of-the-art cells and tissues for regenerative medicine applications in clinical practice as well as in clinical trials and research," said Mary Beth Fisk, interim president and CEO of South Texas Blood & Tissue Center.
Hernandez's goal is to get back to active duty and re-deploy.

The Science Of Flirting
The Player: The Science Of Flirting
Page 1 of 2Flirting can be one of the more pleasant and exciting aspects of life. It can be a heady experience that causes the heart to beat faster, and the result of a blush and downcast eyes is oddly but undeniably satisfying. The idea that flirtation has become the sole province of females is erroneous; the mere act of tossing someone a significant glance can be considered flirting and, for that reason alone, men play an equal role in the drama. But this is a dance that requires carefully placed and well-timed steps, and it's long past time to dispose of your tricks, techniques and pickup lines. Let us turn to science and the ongoing study of social interaction to guide our dance steps. You may be surprised at the amount of knowledge you don't yet have on the science of flirting.
It all begins with eye contactActually, it begins and ends with eye contact, because if she realizes you haven't focused on her eyes for even two consecutive seconds, she'll lose attention before you even say a word. As the Social Issues Research Centre put it: "Your eyes are probably your most important flirting tool… they are also extremely high-powered transmitters of vital social signals." Eye contact is extraordinarily powerful, so it's important to walk the line between intensity and subtlety, which is why we usually restrict direct eye contact to only a second or two. This all falls in line with The Player's very simple method of making more eye contact when listening and averting your gaze a bit more when speaking.
Keep communication honest and balancedWhile it remains true that men and women are often at odds in regard to communication, it's still possible to strike up an engaging, entertaining discussion without posturing. Both sexes can be guilty of bending the truth and altering their behavior, and posturing and untruths (unintentional, though they may be) are often prevalent in a first conversation. According to a Real Talk tidbit at California Physics, this is a bad idea. The article uses as an example of a man who orients his actions and speech toward seduction, which is nothing more than an invented personality. The same goes for girls who say "I love you" just so they can hear men say the same words. Obviously, the key is to avoid the mind games, keep it simple and, as the article states, "Let the authentic reward come to you."
Never underestimate body languageThe numbers have been confirmed time and time again. The science of flirting is a popular subject among researchers and love-seekers alike, and in terms of importance, body language always seems to top the list. The BBC's comprehensive look at love and flirting has revealed that 55% of all given and received messages come from body language. Only 7% is in the words we say. As you can see, the advice involved in the column is to accept this, embrace it and, in some cases, "match their moves." In other words, come to recognize the concept of "mirroring." It shows reciprocated interest and places both parties on equal footing, which is something that is of great interest to the ladies. But above all else, just ditch the pickup lines and other verbal techniques, because that 7% ain't gonna help much. Paul Newman, a man among men, was a "student of human moves" in The Color of Money. You should be too.

Nice! My boy Flap-Fright would love to get his feelers on her, I think!
Every good POP girl needs an evil Horde nemesis.
Tiger Moth was once a friend of Flutterina, but grew jealous of her beauty. Her entie life, she lived in the shadow of her friend's fabled grace, growing distant from her people. Eventually she betrayed her people, and those whom she felt unloved and unappreciated by, and joined the Horde. However alliance with the Horde does not come without a price, she was transformed into a more insectoid creature by Horde magic. Her power was increased substantially, but her vanity cost her, and she became an inhuman creature.
Now she has the ability to create clouds of choking scales from her wings, shedding tiny glass like fibers which blind her enemies and cause them to itch and swell. Armed with she zips through the battlefield on silent wings, slicing her enemies as they fumble in confusion and painful blindness from her terrible wing dust.

Evil Simian Mechanic of the Horde!
I like her a lot, she's a really cool character. When I see characters like these I wish the Royalt1us' Annual Fan Based Character Contest still existed.
He's one of Skeletor's henchmen and hides in plain sight until someone approaches, at which point, he reveals the "face" on his wings and releases a cloud of hallucinogenic dust to frighten and disorient his enemies!
Anyway, back to your scheduled programming! I'd rather not completely hijack CapricornDefender's thread!
I still think he and Tiger Moth would make a cute couple though. <3
Evil Simian Mechanic of the Horde!
Aww, now I feel bad...
If it's any consolation, I really like her backstory and powers! The Horde is my favourite faction. Just in case you couldn't tell...

Although the Cowboys are still pretty young in the defensive secondary, you can never have enough depth and competition at all positions when playing in a BCS conference. La Marque, Texas safety prospect James Thomas would certainly provide exemplary depth as a freshman and would likely compete for early playing time no matter where he chooses to go to school.
"Everything is cool," said Thomas when asked how his recruiting is going. "Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Kansas State, and Missouri (are recruiting me the hardest). I'd say Oklahoma State and Arkansas are pretty much the same as are the other two. It's like they paired up."
With that in mind, has Thomas settled on a list of favorites yet?
"Not at the moment, I'm still debating on where I'm going to take my visits. Wherever I take my visits will basically be my top five or six," he said.
Despite not having anything set in stone, Thomas mentioned that he may try and take his first official visit in about two weeks.
"I'm thinking about going to Kansas State on November 11 to see them play Texas. I don't really have anything else planned for the moment. I'm really just focusing on a state championship ring right now," he said.
Being recruited to Stillwater by Cowboys' assistant Head Coach Joe DeForest, Thomas established that he is going to wait a bit before making a decision.
"(Coach DeForest) is a real cool guy. I like him a lot. I'd say probably (I'll decide) when I get done taking all my visits," he said.
Does he know what he will be looking for when he does take those official visits?
"Well, my academics are probably going to have to be one of my major things because they will have to have the course that I'm interested in. Team chemistry is going to be a real big part of it too because I don't want to go to a team where they don't get along," he said.
Lastly, Thomas commented on how he and his La Marque Cougars are performing about two-thirds of the way through the season.
"We're doing great, we are 7-1. We lost to Pearland, we're 4-0 in district though. We've got one more game in district this weekend against the Dickinson Gators and then we've got a bye week," he said.

One of two elephants who spent many years at the Reid Park Zoo before being shipped to the San Diego Zoo at the beginning of the year was put down this morning.
Connie, an Asian elephant, was moved to the San Diego Zoo in February with her long-time companion Shaba.
Zoo officials in San Diego had worked with Connie, who was about 45 years old, to manage health concerns related to urinary and reproductive tract infections, officials said. Over the last couple of weeks, her condition continued to deteriorate.
"The difficult decision to euthanize Connie was made this morning after extensive discussion among the San Diego veterinarians and animal care staff once it became evident that her quality of life had significantly diminished and she would no longer be able to sustain herself," said Reid Park Zoo administrator Susan Basford in a news release.
Mayor Jonathan Rothschild released the following statement regarding Connie's passing.
"I was saddened to learn of Connie's passing today, both for Connie and for Shaba, her companion," said Mayor Rothschild in the news release. "I am confident that Connie received the best of care at San Diego's geriatric elephant facility. We knew this day would come. Connie was elderly, and that was why this facility was chosen. It is sad that it has come so soon."

Typologie a příjmové postavení zemědělských domácností v České republice
[Typology and income situation of farm households in the Czech republic]
Due to the specific corporate structure of the agriculture sector farm households in the Czech Republic comprise not only households of self-employed persons or private farmers (similarly like e.g. in countries of Western Europe) but also households headed by employees of agricultural enterprises. Data on the size and structure of farm households according to their social and professional types were derived from the census including the census of houses and flats. Data on the income of (farm and non-farm) households were taken from the last microcensus and family account statistics. In spite of some restraints ensuing mainly from the number of farm households it was possible to acquire some concrete information. It is particularly different level, structure and use of incomes of farm households headed by self-employed persons and employees (workers and other professions) compared to their non-farm counterparts.

Thanksgiving has a broader significance than just getting together to eat turkey and it's important for your kindergartners to understand the history behind their family traditions. The first people the Pilgrims encountered after their long journey on the Mayflower were the Wampanoags, the native peoples of New England and so, it makes sense to introduce your students to their two vastly different ways of living - not only compared to each other, but compared to the lives of your students as well!

Do the Holidays Make You Depressed, Too?
Bah, humbug! On Salon ("Read it and weep"), Jason Boog writes about "the end of days" for the publishing industry:
"There were hedge fund guys with no background in publishing buying up publishing houses," says André Schiffrin, founder of the New Press and author of "The Business of Books: How the International Conglomerates Took Over Publishing and Changed the Way We Read." He explains that corporate owners of major publishing houses expected impossible 15 to 20 percent profit margins in an industry with traditional margins of 3 to 4 percent. "They were part of that whole feeling that you could make money by buying and selling companies, rather than by selling books. At some point it comes to a dead end."
He ends, however, on a modestly hopeful note, suggesting that small presses may still thrive, and asking, "Can the publishing world channel all of this collective anger, bewilderment and fear into industry-altering strategies?"
Rest In Peace. On Holt Uncensored ("Three Things I'd Like to See #3"), Pat Holt holds a wake for the dearly departed–editors:
I think the saddest thing that ever happened in the book industry was the gradual devaluing of editors and all they stand for – their high standards, their belief in readers, their ability to nurture authors, their love of language, their patience, their dedication, their eye.
In the Chronicle of Higher Education ("Leaving Literature Behind"), Bruce Fleming writes that the teaching of literature is killing the love of reading.
Students get something out of a book by reading it. Love of reading was, after all, what got most of us into this business to begin with. We are killing that experience with the discipline of literary studies, with its network of relations in which an individual work almost becomes incidental. But it's the individual work that changes lives.
(If you read the whole essay–and you should, it's a powerful manifesto–let me just be absolutely clear that I am not related to Gerald Graff.)
Happy New Year! In the Guardian ("Here's to the future of the book"), Robert McCrum asks, "Are the print media facing the end of the world?" He doesn't think so:
2009 may well be tough for the messengers (publishers, booksellers, newspaper distributors etc) but the message will surely survive, whatever the economic climate. It might even flourish as the adverse market conditions purge the system of non-books (ghosted celebrity memoirs; chick lit; novelty volumes and sporting biographies).

DC Comics is on a serious roll as three new television series based on its comics – "The Flash" [CW], "Gotham" [Fox] and "iZombie" [CW] – will be coming to the small screen this fall and they were joined by "Constantine", which just received its series order from NBC. Constantine follows the story of John Constantine [played by Matt Ryan – "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior"], a supernatural detective who is reluctantly tossed into the role of protecting mankind from sinister dark world forces.
Also joining Ryan in "Constantine" are Harold Perrineau ["Zero Dark Thirty"], Lucy Griffiths ["True Blood"] and Charles Halford ["Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."].

|Sigmund Freud and his dog.
Dogs are entirely man-made, a function of human choice, and often a choice made by specific people in specific locations.
The farmers and huntsmen of the fields and fells of Great Britain made working terriers.
The native people of the Arctic made the sled dogs of the northern snow and ice.
The stock men of Europe made the hard dogs that could stop angry bulls or wild pigs.
The Bedouins and Tuareg made the running dogs of the Middle East.
The shepherds of the borders and highlands of Scotland made the dogs that love and live to herd.
But do we not have tribes of people today who are still making dogs?
Yes, the tribes are different, but they still exist, and they are making dogs just the same.
The terrierman with dirt on his hands has been replaced by the overweight matron with gold lacquer on her finger nails.
The musher with 13 dogs dogs in harness has been replaced by a fellow with a sled dog on his passenger seat and 200-horses under the hood.
The bulldog man now owns a wheezing wreck that can barely waddle to the edge of the field where it is trotted out as the team's mascot.
The running dog is now sprawled on the couch, and instead of a night lamping it might get a slow walk around the block.
The border man with stout legs and calloused hands has been replaced by a suburbanite whose dogs chase frisbees rather than herd sheep.
Where are we going in the world of dogs?
In every direction under the sun, and often straight to hell.
That said, there is some comfort in this observation: cool tools never die.
And really is there any tool so cool as a dog?
Sure there are a lot of very crappy shovels sold at Lowe's for the "Harry Homeowners" who confuses real digging with putting in a rose bush, but good shovels are still made and sold if you know where to go to find them.
And so it is with almost everything else apparently, including working dogs.
Real sheep herding men and women are not runnning to "barbie collie" theorists for stock or advice anymore than gun dog men are going to backyard puppy peddlers, or terriermen are going to Kennel Club pretenders.
Up in Alaska, the pulling dogs are not registered in the Lower 48, and in the deserts of the Middle East, the test of a dog is not what's written on a piece of paper but whether the hare is returned to hand after a swirling chase in the dust.
And as for the real bull dog, this country is crawling with well-built Pit Bulls capable of busting, catching and stopping a feral pig on any given night. Hell, we now have TWO television series devoted to their exploits!
So what does it matter if there are a lot of pretenders in the world of dogs?
So long as the dogs that result are not too seriouly deformed or genetically defective, what is the harm of barbie collies, tennis ball retrievers, and fantasy fox terriers?
No, the work of these dogs is not in forest or field.
Instead, the purpose of these dogs is to give their owners a sense of identity... or perhaps it's to serve as a surrogate child, or a welcome wag after a long day at a soul-crushing job.
Perhaps their job is to give their owner a chance to win a beauty contest or an opportunity to work out their long-repressed hair-dresser fantasies.
But so what? Is it really that odd that this kind of psycho-therapy work has become the real work of the modern dog?
Yes, many dogs today are transvestite terriers, counterfeit collies, and bogus bird dogs, but as pets most seem to work out fine, even if they are pale immitations of their storied ancestors.
Isn't that good enough?

On these networks, members create profiles that summarize their professional experience, interests and accomplishments. More importantly, the sites often provide a conduit for obtaining inside contact information -- something you ordinarily don't get from a job board.
"With networking, the advantage is somebody suggested that a company representative contact you, and that puts you in a better position than if you came in off the street," career adviser and author Jan Cannon says. "It gives you a contact so you can send your resume to the right person."
LinkedIn alone claims more than 35 million members in more than 200 countries worldwide. Although you can market yourself effectively through these Web sites, it's also important to show up at career fairs or other social functions.
"There's something to be said for face-to-face networking as well," says Deborah Russell, director of workforce issues at AARP.
"The ability to talk about the skills that you bring to a job and how you can bring value to the job makes more of an impact than merely presenting yourself on LinkedIn," she says.
Joining a trade-specific professional group or reconnecting with college classmates via an alumni association are also excellent ways to network.
Don't forget to reach out to family, friends and former co-workers. The more extensive your network, the sooner you'll find a job.
For example, if you're applying for a management position, the interviewer might ask questions that assess how you might react in certain situations rather than asking about what you did for a previous employer.
"You may be asked a question like, 'Tell me about a time that you had to handle a poor performer? How did you handle it? What tools did you use to handle it and what was the outcome?'" says Deborah Russell, director of workforce issues at AARP.
This type of situational interview paints a better picture of how you are going to handle the job, she says.
"That behavioral model is what many older workers, or workers in general, are faced with when they go in for interviews today," Russell says.
Most hiring managers know that age discrimination is illegal. But questions that may seem slightly "ageist" still get asked. If you have to field such a question, it's best not to overreact.
The best strategy is to have a well-prepared game plan on how to respond to such questions long before you get called for an actual interview, says Jim Nanjo, a spokesman for Senior Employment Resources in Virginia.
To that end, he coaches his clients on how to handle various interview scenarios by role playing with groups of three or more people. The practice, he says, prepares job seekers on how to answer off-kilter questions in a positive manner.
A well-prepared interviewee can deflect age-related questions by emphasizing skills that are up to date or talking about situations when he or she worked with younger people or collaborated successfully with them on projects.
If the questions really bother you, ask yourself if you really want to work for a company that makes such inquiries.
While deft interview skills are a big help, you won't get far if your wardrobe looks like it was borrowed from the set of "Cheers."
Physical appearance is just as important as your interview skills. It's likely that the person interviewing you might be many years younger and could be your future boss.

This AIN pilot/reporter had an opportunity to fly the Eclipse on two different occasions, once on a short cross-country trip in March between Chicago and Nashville and again to Rockford, Ill., for some approaches, landings
and airwork. My instructor pilot was North American Jet Eclipse instructor Mike Vautell.
As I approached the Eclipse, it was clear once again just how compact the airplane is by today's standards. The aircraft measures just 11 feet from the ground to the top of the tail, 38 feet from wingtip to wingtip and 33 feet from nose to tail. The Beech Baron's wingspan is just under 38 feet and it stands just under 10 feet high. At mtow, the Baron weighs in at 5,500 pounds; the Eclipse weighs 6,000 pounds. Eclipse's friction stir welding process produced a smooth, sleek airframe with only a few items–such as the landing gear and AOA probes–sticking out in the slipstream.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A turbofans, each pumping out a solid 900 pounds of thrust–950 if the automatic power reserve kicks in on an engine failure–the Eclipse carries a maximum of 1,698 pounds of fuel. The walk-around is light-twin simple as the pilot pulls the chocks, snoops under the fuselage to check the gear and be sure the hard landing indicators are not showing and that the oxygen blowouts have not popped. Oil level checks are just below eye level.
The inside of the aircraft we flew, S/N 255, was beautiful–leather seats–although a bit spartan by some jet standards. This is not a Falcon or a Gulfstream, but it is a clean, attractive design. Our aircraft had five seats, although the type can seat as many as six. I can't believe anyone would jam that many people into the cabin, though. It's simply too tight. This is a solid four-place aircraft and no more, except perhaps on a short trip. Maximum baggage capacity is 260 pounds.
The panel on the Eclipse is well organized and similar to that of a larger jet, with everything, right down to the audio panel, controlled through the multifunction display. Much like the dual Waas-capable Garmin 400Ws, the Avio NG avionics system on the Eclipse translates into lots of button pushing and knob turning. It didn't take long to get used to it though. And of course, the Eclipse's sidestick control gives the pilot plenty of extra space to move around. Pull and turn the start switches and the two tiny Pratts were soon spinning nicely.
We weighed in at just under 5,500 pounds for takeoff on the run to Rockford for approaches, and about 1,000 pounds of that was fuel. The maximum useful load on an Eclipse is 2,235 pounds. With three hours of fuel–about 1,400 pounds–that leaves room for four people and a little baggage. Under no-wind conditions and ISA up high, the Eclipse could just make Miami from Chicago nonstop. From Aspen on an 80-degree day, the Eclipse will fly to ABQ with four passengers. The aircraft will climb directly to 37,000 and 41,000 off the ground at mtow as well. At 37,000 feet the 8.7-psi differential translates into a 5,500-foot cabin.
Takeoff uses the first notch–or 17 degrees–of flaps. With a temperature of 82 degrees F, and the thrust levers firewalled–the Eclipse uses dual Fadecs–the Eclipse sped down Runway 34 at Chicago Executive and was off the ground in less than 2,500 feet. With the gear retracted, it quickly accelerated to about 140 knots for the climb. Chicago departure stopped us at 4,000 and pointed us west, and Rockford Approach assumed control with a block of airspace to handle our airwork. Inside the airplane, the cabin is quiet, even in cruise.
This is an airplane designed to be flown by one pilot. Everything–gear and light switches and even the icing controls–is easily in reach of the pilot's right hand. But while I loved the smoothness of the Eclipse, I didn't like the sidestick control in lateral movement, at least not this one. The sidestick connects directly with a torque tube that actuates the control surfaces through cables and pulleys. Later in the flight, after a number of steep turns, I found my wrist aching as if I'd somehow been stretching the wrong muscles, by having to flex my wrist at a point just in back of my hand in a way that felt unnatural. Others who fly the Eclipse said they got used to it, but this was about the only thing on the Eclipse I didn't like.
We circled near the Polo VOR (PLL) at 8,000 feet as I cycled the power, dropped flaps and accelerated and slowed a number of times to feel the changes. The airplane seems to know precisely what it needs to do, because pitch changes, even in the stall, were minimal and gentle. If a pilot can handle a Baron or a Cirrus, he can handle an Eclipse. I hand-flew the ILS to Runway 7 at Rockford, and once the power was set there was very little playing with the thrust levers to keep the airplane on the glideslope.
What I found particularly attractive about the airplane were the high operating speeds I was able to hold before I hit the slope, sure to be useful at any busy airport. With a gear and approach-flap speed of 200 knots, it is easy to scream to the marker at 170 knots and still slow for an approach. I tried it and we even easily made a circling turn at about 500 feet agl to Runway 19 at Rockford. Crossing the threshold at 88 knots, the Eclipse took just over 2,300 feet to stop on a dry runway even though it has no thrust reversers or attenuators. That's about what you'd expect in the Beech Baron. I like this little airplane. It should have been the replacement airplane for every light to medium piston twin out there. Perhaps it might yet become just that.
Eclipse operators I spoke with at Oshkosh believe Eclipse will survive. "It will survive because of Mason Holland. Vern [Raburn] was all about being a showman, but he never had a practical business plan for Eclipse. Mason wants to prove the company to customers. I think the new company regularly underpromises and overdelivers. This airplane now represents practical transportation," said John McMurtrie. David Kolssak said, "The new company is run by some really smart people. It has finally developed a fleet of aircraft it can service and support. The Eclipse has finally become the machine I always hoped I'd own."

NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 (G80): GPUs Re-architected for DirectX 10by Anand Lal Shimpi & Derek Wilson on November 8, 2006 6:01 PM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
G80: A Mile High Overview
Now that we know a little more about the requirements and direction of DX10, we can take a deeper look at where NVIDIA has decided to go with the architecture of G80. We will be seeing a completely new design based around a unified shader architecture. While DX10 doesn't require a unified architecture, it certainly does make a lot of sense to move in that direction.
Inside G80, vertex, geometry, pixel shaders and more (more on this later) are all able to run on the same set of execution resources. In order to make this happen, the shader core needed to be made more general purpose and suitable for multiple usage scenarios. This is much like what we are used to seeing on a CPU, and as time moves on we expect these similarities to increase from both the CPU and GPU side. The design NVIDIA has come up, while very complex and powerful, is quite elegant. Here's a look at the block diagram for G80:
The architecture is able to use thread management hardware to dispatch different types of instructions on to the shader core. As vertices complete, their output can be used as input to geometry shaders back at the "top" of the shader core. Geometry shader output is then used as input to pixel shaders. Here's a quick conceptual representation of what we are talking about:
The sheer size of G80 is absolutely amazing; while NVIDIA wouldn't disclose exact die sizes let's look at the facts. The G80 chip is made up of 681 million transistors, more than a single core Itanium 2 or the recently launched Kentsfield, but manufactured on an almost old 90nm process. As a reference point, ATI's Radeon X1900 XTX based on the R580 GPU was built on a 90nm process yet it featured only 384 million transistors. NVIDIA's previous high-end GPU, the G71 based GeForce 7900 GTX was also built on a 90nm process but used only 278 million transistors. Any way you slice it, this is one huge chip. Architecting such a massive GPU has taken NVIDIA a great deal of time and money, four years and $475M to be exact. The previous record for time was almost 3 years at a lesser amount, but NVIDIA wouldn't tell us which GPU that was.
Intel's Quad Core Kentsfield on top, G80 on bottom
Despite very high clock speeds on the die and a ridiculous 681 million transistor count, power consumption of NVIDIA's G80 is quite reasonable given its target; on average, a G80 system uses about 8% more power than one outfitted with ATI's Radeon X1950 XTX.
You really start to get a sense of how much of a departure G80 is from previous architectures when you look at the shader core. Composed of 128 simple processors, called Stream Processors (SPs), the G80 shader core runs at a very high 1.35GHz on the highest end G80 SKU. We'll get into exactly what these stream processors are on the coming pages, but NVIDIA basically put together a wide array of very fast, specialized, but simple processors. In a sense, G80's shader core looks much like Cell's array of SPEs, but the SPs here are not nearly as independent as the SPEs in Cell.
Running at up to 1.35GHz, NVIDIA had to borrow a few pages from the books of Intel in order to get this done. The SPs are fairly deeply pipelined and as you'll soon see, are only able to operate on scalar values, thus through simplifying the processors and lengthening their pipelines NVIDIA was able to hit the G80's aggressive clock targets. There was one other CPU-like trick employed to make sure that G80 could have such a shader core, and that is the use of custom logic and layout.
The reason new CPU architectures take years to design while new GPU architectures can be cranked out in a matter of 12 months is because of how they're designed. GPUs are generally designed using a hardware description language (HDL), which is sort of a high level programming language that is used to translate code into a transistor layout that you can use to build your chip. At the other end of the spectrum are CPU designs which are largely done by hand, where design is handled at the transistor level rather than at a higher level like a HDL would.
Elements of GPUs have been designed at the transistor level in the past; things like memory interfaces, analog circuits, memories, register files and TMDS drivers were done by hand using custom transistor level design. But shaders and the rest of the pipeline was designed by writing high level HDL code and relying on automated layout.
You can probably guess where we're headed with this; the major difference between G80 and NVIDIA's previous GPUs is that NVIDIA designed the shader core at the transistor level. If you've heard the rumors of NVIDIA building more than just GPUs in the future, this is the first step, although NVIDIA was quick to point out that G80 won't be the norm. NVIDIA will continue to design using HDLs where it makes sense, and in critical areas where additional performance or power sensitive circuitry is needed, we'll see transistor level layout work done by NVIDIA's engineering. It's simply not feasible for NVIDIA's current engineering staff and product cycles to work with a GPU designed completely at the transistor level. That's not to say it won't happen in the future, and if NVIDIA does eventually get into the system on a chip business with its own general purpose CPU core, it will have to happen; but it's not happening anytime soon.
The additional custom logic and layout present in G80 helped extend the design cycle to a full four years and brought costs for the chip up to $475M. Prior to G80 the previous longest design cycle was approximately 2.5 - 3 years. Although G80 did take four years to design, much of that was due to the fact that G80 was a radical re-architecting of the graphics pipeline and that future GPUs derived from G80 will have an obviously shorter design cycle.

JarredWalton - Wednesday, November 08, 2006 - linkThey did the same thing with the original Halo, porting it (and slowing it down) to DX9. MS seems to think making Halo 2 Vista-only will get people to upgrade to the new OS. [:rolls eyes:] Reply
stmok - Wednesday, November 08, 2006 - linkHow else are they gonna get gamers to upgrade to Vista? :)
(by cornering them into adopting Vista, using DirectX 10.0)
Its sad and pathetic at the same time.
DirectX 10.0 should be a "transitional" solution...That is, it covers both XP and Vista. This allows people to gradually upgrade their hardware, and if they wish, to Vista. What MS is doing now, is throwing everyone (developers and consumers) into the deep end, and expecting them to pay for the changes. (I suspect some would be put off by this, while the majority will continue to accept it...Which is unfortunate).
Great article BTW. Interesting to see the high-end stuff...But I doubt I can afford it in this lifetime!
I have two questions!
(1) Any chance of looking at a triple video card setup?
(I saw a presentation slide which had 2 video cards in SLI, while a third showed something else on screen).
(2) Any idea when the GF8600-series comes?

yyrkoon - Thursday, November 09, 2006 - linkWhen you break all hardware/software ties to something that has been around for 4-5 years? Its not that easy making it "transitional". From a software perspective, D3D10 is not compatable with XP in the least.
I for one, think this is a step in the right direction. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, November 09, 2006 - linkSupposedly all of the changes to the WDDM make porting DX10 back to Windows XP "impossible", although I'm more inclined to think the correct term would be "difficult" and you also have to add in "it doesn't fit with MS marketing protocol". WDDM is quite different in Vista however, so maybe there's some substance to the claims. Reply

UPPER TOWNSHIP — The federal Affordable Care Act's publicly subsidized insurance plan has created numerous unintended consequences for business owners and their employees, a local insurance representative told the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday.
Business owners should pay close attention to developments as the plan is rolled out, even if they do not have to make any decisions about coverage for employees or themselves until 2015 or, in some cases, 2016, said Stephen Sanborne, senior sales executive for Thomas Heist Insurance Agency.
Sanborne said one of the biggest changes is the premium rating system, which is tailored around the ages of employees, with each age group charged a different insurance premium.
As a result, he said, larger families might find their premiums skyrocket based on the number of adult children covered.
The federal government subsidizes the premiums for most low-income and moderate-income applicants. The subsidies cover as much as 80 percent of the premium, depending on the income of the applicant.
Premiums for small-group plans cost significantly more than in previous years because the new insurance covers a wider range of conditions. This includes pediatric dental coverage, which is included in premiums for everyone, including single twenty-somethings without children.
And some companies, such as real-estate agencies that offered insurance to their agents, might see these contracted employees abandon the group plan to sign up with policies offered in the ACA individual marketplace. That could steer management to the individual marketplace as well, he said.
"The real-estate company owner might find they lose their coverage, too, because they no longer have a group health plan," he said.
Sanborne urged businesses to talk to their insurance carriers now about what approach makes the most sense for them. That could mean restructuring their health plans or, in extreme cases, restructuring their employment bases.
Employers are not obligated to cover part-time workers. And employers for the sake of fairness might consider contributing a flat rate toward their employees' insurance premiums instead of a percentage.
Sanborne, of Northfield, spoke to the Cape May County Chamber's meeting at the Deauville Inn in the Strathmere section of Upper Township.
Chamber Chairman Scott Campbell, vice president at TD Bank in Middle Township, said the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, is one in a series of changes and challenges with which business owners must contend this year.
"It makes it a real challenge, especially with the seasonality of the economy ... in a county that makes money in a short amount of time," Campbell said.
Apart from health care coverage, businesses are concerned about the likelihood of an abbreviated summer season for 2014.
"Schools are expected to get out later this year because of all the snow. Labor Day falls early. We're looking at a shorter season this year," he said.

Ibiza Rocks 2013 Adds the Vaccines, Ellie Goulding + Palma Violets
The Vaccines, Ellie Goulding and Palma Violets have joined the lineups of this year's Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca Rocks festivals, bolstering a list of performers that already included Jake Bugg, Foals and Example.
"We're really looking forward to getting out there," the Vaccines' Freddie Cowan said of the gatherings, according to NME. "Last time we went was two years ago and it was in the middle of such a busy summer so this time we're hoping to spend a bit more time on the islands and maybe enjoy the Ibiza Rocks House at Pikes. They filmed 'Club Tropicana' there!"
Ibiza Rocks is an annual summer-long festival that takes place on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza, off the coast of Spain. It goes down one night a week over the course of several months, and this year's fest launches June 5 and runs through Sept. 19. Ibiza's sister event, Mallorca Rocks, takes place on nearby Mallorca island and also features weekly performances. The 2013 go-round spans June 4 through Sept. 18.

Press Release: Tallahassee Fire Department
October 4, 2013 - At 3:12 this morning, the Tallahassee Fire Department responded to the report of a house fire in the 400 Block of Gaile Avenue. A neighbor called 9-1-1 after seeing flames in the area. Firefighters arrived to a single-story 1,000 square-foot home fully involved in fire.
Firefighters pulled multiple hoses to extinguish the blaze and called the fire out at 3:36 a.m. Firefighters did not find anyone home at the time of the fire and later determined that no one was living in the home.
The fire resulted in an estimated $80,000 in damages, resulting in a total loss to the property. A neighboring home also received minor heat damages due to the size of the fire. No injuries were reported at the scene and the Tallahassee Fire Department was assisted on scene by the Tallahassee Police Department and Leon County EMS.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the State Fire Marshal's office, with assistance from the Tallahassee Fire Department.

1981 Cherokee Cheif
I have this 1981 right hand drive cherokee chief, 2 door, 360 V8, Automatic 3 speed trans. Here are a couple pictures. What do you think it's worth?
I don't want to sell but probably will since my wife got laid off from a school district. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Nice view count but no input!! Bring it up top!
How many miles? What kind of mechanical condition?
The odometer reads 44,xxx, I had paperwork from the previous owner stating 68k when he bought it, so it is really 144k. As most jeeps the 4 wheel drive operates perfectly as it should, the interior is in great condition. I recently did the front and rear dif gaskets/oil and tranny pan gasket/oil. All were weaping a little and I don't like leaks. Always starts up, engine runs smooth, drives like a jeep! The engine bay could use a little cleaning up which I might get to in the next week or so. Things I would do if I was going to keep it: New Carburetor/Air Cleaner, Suspension all around, Track down some intermittent electric items. Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know. :)
Around here that would be 3 to 5k
That's reasonable, all I have to do now is build up my 15 posts so I can list it properly. Thanks. ;)
I would be a buyer all day at 3-5k. That gets me a rust bucket where I live
I had it on craigslist for $5800 for about a month, one guy was ready to buy until he finally realized it was right hand drive. So I will start out asking 5k here and see what happens. I had no intention of selling this, it is an awesome jeep that gets compliments everywhere I go. :cool:
I guess there is not interest in this jeep. :( up top!!
Bring it up top to see if there is any interest in this beast!!
I think right hand drive would be a cool bonus.
Thank you, I agree but some people don't see it that way. I am sure a jeep enthusiast would. A new question for anybody out there: Is there a way to tell what country your jeep was manufactured in by the VIN?? The guy I bought it from was from great Britain, but I don't know for a fact that it came from there.
bring this up top!!! Still for sale ;)

The six, all Algerians, were arrested in October 2001 on suspicion of plotting an attack on the US embassy in Sarajevo and were turned over to the US despite local prosecutors dismissing the case for a lack of evidence. A Bosnian court has ruled that the handover of the men was illegal and ordered the Bosnian government to compensate their families. However, US District Judge Richard Leon last week dismissed a challenge to the legality of their detention [opinion, PDF; JURIST report]. A Bosnian spokesperson has said that the government will pursue diplomatic means to secure the release of the six. Reuters has more.

Question: I fell behind in my monthly dues and the homeowners' association (HOA) foreclosed on my home. Is there any way for me to get my home back?
Answer: Possibly yes. If your state provides a right of redemption after the foreclosure sale, you can repurchase the property. However, you'll need to act promptly because the timeframe to do so will be limited.
If you live in a planned, covenanted community, most likely you will be required be part of and pay monthly dues and assessments to a homeowners' association (HOA). If you fall behind in those dues and assessments, the HOA can get a lien on your home, which could lead to a foreclosure. (Learn more about homeowners' association liens and how they can be foreclosed in Nolo's article HOA Liens & Foreclosures: An Overview.)
In most cases, it is better to take action to catch up on the past-due amounts before the foreclosure is completed because you have more options to save the property. For example, you could pay off the past-due amounts in a lump sum or enter into a payment plan with the HOA to get caught up. (Learn more about possible options to catch up and avoid a foreclosure if you are delinquent in HOA dues.)
However, if the foreclosure sale has already taken place and you want to get your property back, you may be able to "redeem" the property under certain circumstances.
Some states give you the opportunity to buy your home back after it has been auctioned off in a foreclosure sale. This is called the right of redemption.
With the right of redemption, you have a certain amount of time to repurchase your property following the foreclosure sale. (Learn more about The Right of Redemption Following an HOA foreclosure.)
Redemption laws vary widely from state to state. For example, in California, if the HOA forecloses using a nonjudicial foreclosure process, you get a 90-day right of redemption. This allows you to effectively buy the property back after the foreclosure by paying the amount of the lien, plus costs, fees, and other allowable charges. (California law also requires you to reimburse the purchaser for any repairs made to the property.)
In Texas, the redemption period is 180 days from date the HOA mails written notice of the sale to the homeowner.
The redemption timeframe may be longer or shorter depending on which state you live in. (And some states do not provide a right of redemption at all.)
If the state where you live does not provide a specific right of redemption after an HOA forecloses, there may be a state law that allows you to redeem the property following a mortgage foreclosure sale that applies to HOA foreclosures as well. (Learn more about the foreclosure laws in your state in Nolo's State Foreclosure Laws area.)
To learn about the laws governing HOA foreclosures in your state and find out if there is a right of redemption where you live, review your state's statutes. (You can find out how to do your own legal research in Nolo's Laws and Legal Research section.)
You may also wish to consult with a licensed attorney in your state who is experienced with HOA foreclosures to discuss all legal options available in your particular circumstances.

i had to return the first bass sent, but was the fault of UPS not caring about fragile stickers. return was simple and fast, but the exchange encountered a delay due to shortage of inventory. the second bass I received was double packaged as promised so as not to run into damage during the the shipment. this one, again not a fault of Music123, is damaged. My guess is that the QC process in Mexico is subpar because the magnets on the "A" string P pickup are depressed about a ¼" and the entire bar is flimsy (push down on it & it sinks into the body. at this point, i'll be taking it to a luthier, & have whatever below the pickup is loose fixed and replace the entire P pickup. Music123, if you read this, contact me. I never thought i'd spend as much money on a guitar and have so many different problems.

Copeland pitches, hits Hilltoppers to first win
Byline info is not available
Tuesday, April 15, 2014 11:00 AM
SAFE AT THIRD: Shawe's Stephanie Snodgrass smiles up at coach Gary VanWye (above) after sliding back into third during the Hilltoppers' softball game with Jac-Cen-Del on Monday.

Shawe pitcher Emalee Copeland stymied Jac-Cen-Del with her arm and did damage with her bat, too, to lead Shawe Memorial to a 16-9 softball win on Monday at Vandewater Field in Madison.
Copeland struck out seven and held the Eagles to just six hits to pick up the win in the circle. At the plate, she had a single and a double and five RBIs.
Copeland wasn't the only Hilltopper swinging a hot bat, Megan Goebel and Stephanie Snodgrass had two hits each and Megg Hensler and Maddie Waller had a hit each. Snodgrass also scored four runs.
The two teams traded runs throughout the first couple of innings before Shawe finally pulled away. Leading 3-2, the Hilltoppers scored five times in the bottom of the second but JCD answered with five runs in the third to close the gap to 8-7.
But Shawe got four more runs in the third and two more in the fourth to go ahead 16-7 and narrowly miss ending the game on the mercy rule. Jac-Cen-Del tacked on two runs late for the final margin.
Shawe (1-2, 1-2 Ohio River Valley Conference) visits Southwestern on Wednesday.
Rising Sun wins pitchers' duel over Southwestern in softball
Rising Sun's Alix Dedreu bested Southwestern's Kelsi Brierly 2-0 in a classic pitchers' duel Monday in Rising Sun.
Both of the Shiners' runs came in the first two innings but Brierly held Rising Sun scoreless from there. But despite getting baserunners on in every inning Southwestern couldn't break through DeDreu for the runs it needed.
"Our defense was outstanding tonight. We had some great plays and turned a double play to get out an inning," Southwestern coach Duane Ralston said. "Unfortunately, we couldn't string any hits together. The difference in this game was execution. We couldn't get any bunts down and Rising Sun did. We've been pretty strong in that area but obviously we need to work on it more. I'm sure it was a very good game to watch, but it's a little disappointing because I feel like we had chances and let it get away."
Sydney Elliot singled in the first, went to second on a DeDreu bunt and scored on Bailee Bostic's single to stake the Shiners to a 1-0 lead.
In the second inning, Katie Jackson singled, stole second and went to third on a sacrifice bunt before scoring on a groundout.
Southwestern's best chance to score came in the seventh. Emily McCane singled and Meagan Ralston hit a hard shot down the third base line that was fielded cleanly to get Ralston at first and end the game.
Brierly, a freshman, walked one and allowed six hits in six innings in the circle. DeDreu allowed five hits, struck out six and walked one in seven innings.
Meagan Ralston, Brierly, Katie Conover and Karli Long also had hits for the Rebels.
Southwestern (3-3, 0-1 Ohio River Valley Conference) hosts Shawe on Wednesday.
Shiners' Weaver fans 14 to turn back baseball Rebels
Cody Weaver struck out 14 and Rising Sun pulled away for an 11-4 Ohio River Valley Conference baseball win over Southwestern Monday at home.
The visiting Rebels touched Weaver early for three runs in the top of the first on RBI singles by Matthew Schwartz and Adam Jackson and a Rising Sun error.
The Shiners answered with three runs in the bottom of the first and added two runs in the third to go ahead 5-3. An error led to a Southwestern run in the fifth but Rising Sun scored four in the bottom of the fifth and added two more late for the final margin.
Weaver settled down after the first inning to hold the Rebels in check. Along with the 14 strikeouts, Weaver allowed only five hits and one walk in the complete-game win.
Tristan Embs started and suffered the loss for Southwestern. The senior allowed eight runs - six earned - on six hits in four innings with six strikeouts and six walks. Jayde Ary allowed three unearned runs on two hits with a pair of strikeouts in two innings of relief.
Gage Hartman, Logan Sprong and Robbie Stoner added hits for Southwestern. Brady Murray went 2-for-2 with two RBIs and two runs scored and Austin McClure had a double for the Shiners.
Southwestern hosts Shawe on Wednesday.
Errors cost 'Toppers 19-0 baseball loss to Eagles
Shawe Memorial committed 11 errors and Jac-Cen-Del took advantage of each one to pull away for a 19-0 Ohio River Valley Conference baseball win on Monday in Madison.
The Hilltoppers (0-4, 0-2 ORVC) got solid starting pitching from Grayson Rhoten but just couldn't make the plays when they needed them.
"We've been getting good pitching, we're just not making the plays that we should," Shawe coach Matt Forner said. "With such a young, inexperienced team, sometimes when they physically miss a ball, mentally they don't make the right play the next time. That's something we're working on."
Jac-Cen-Del scored five runs in the first inning and added three more in the second before putting together a big 7-run third inning to blow open the game. The Eagles added two runs each in the fourth and fifth innings to end the game early.
On the offensive end, Shawe managed just two hits, both by Rhoten. One of Rhoten's hits was a booming double off the left-field fence.
Despite the rough start, Forner said the Hilltoppers remain upbeat and that as his young team grows, maintaining that healthy attitude is important.
"The guys always seem to find something positive to talk about in the huddle after the game. Today, we had guys even congratulating other guys on good plays," Forner said. "The one good thing we saw today was that the guys were in the right position. When you're in the right position, the errors will start to drop."
Shawe heads across the county on Wednesday to face Southwestern before hosting Switzerland County on Thursday.

HealthNet flew one person to the hospital Sunday afternoon after an ATV accident in Preston County.
It happened around 4:45 p.m. on Crane School Road, between Albright and Brandonville Pike, according to 911 officials.

The Albright Fire Department used a new ATV to retrieve the man, who suffered head injuries. He was then transported to an area hospital by HealthNet, according to the Terra Alta VFD.
The Terra Alta VFD, the Albright Fire Department, and Bruceton EMS all responded to the accident.

The race had 22 lead changes among eight drivers and there were five cautions for 25 laps.
LAS VEGAS – Despite a number of handling issues with his No. 78 Chevrolet, Kurt Busch managed to salvage a 20th-place finish in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
We needed one more caution at the end to get back on the lead lap, which would have given us a good opportunity to pick up additional positions. It wasn't our day."
With qualifying rained out Friday and the lineup based on 2012 owner points, Busch started the 267-lap, Kobalt Tools 400 from the 24th position.
He stayed in or near the low 20s for the majority of the race and was lapped by Lap 52.
"It was a battle all day, but we kept fighting, hoping to find the setup that could get us going," explained Busch, a Las Vegas native. "We haven't had a lot to show in the first three races of the season, but we'll get better. I am looking forward to Bristol next week."
Busch always looks forward to Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, the world fastest half-mile oval. His career record at Bristol includes five wins, six top-fives and 13 top-10s.
The Las Vegas race winner was Matt Kenseth. Rounding out the top-10 in order were: Kasey Kahne, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick and Paul Menard.
The race had 22 lead changes among eight drivers and there were five cautions for 25 laps.

From reading around a bit it does appear to be a seating issue. Primers are below the base (rounds sit even on glass plate, no wobble) but affraid I don't know how to measure how far in the pocket they are. From feel it does seem they are not quite as deep as the Winchester or Federal rounds I've made. Sometimes they will fire on second attempt sometimes not (even with the stock gun).
But I guess the $20 question is why do Federal, Winchester and Remington primers seat perfectly with everything adjusted as is while CCI's don't???

Mini Soho IX Ad.
In a collaboration between Red Bull NZ & Mini NZ, a crew gathered at Red Bull's 'Base Camp' house in Queenstown to shoot the 'Chuck Vs Keys' for the Mini Soho IX. Led by Ivan Mennim we headed for the hills at the head of Lake Wakatipu to our base near the jump site. Winds aloft was evident from the wind borne snow on the tops so we headed up the Rees river to shoot set ups in a snowy river bed.
Chuck Skydives for Gudang Garam TV Commercial
In late 2009 I worked with director, Mark Toia of Zoom Film TV to perform the skydiving & snow running stunts for this Gudang Garam TV commercial. A great team of people came together at The Remarkables ski field in Queenstown to shoot the ad. Johnny from Heliworks did the jump flying in an E model Hughes 500, taking myself & camera flyer Lottie Blair to 14 000 feet to jump into my snowy landing zone in the Doolans Basin at a height of 5500 feet.
Freefall photos taken by Chuck have appeared; on billboards in Auckland for Pepsi, Ansett in-flight magazine, Wheetbix card, Cover of recent 'No Limits' calendar, Minolta add, Postcards, numerous adverts & a book.
TV appearances include; Mountain Dew (two shows, both lead stories), Three Sport (two shows), 20/20 (lead story again), Ski Whizz, Too Extreme (Learning Channel in the US-another lead story) shown twice on NZ TV, T.V.2 'Magazine Show', Havoc & Newsboy.

In March 2009 I got a call from Queenstown alpine legend Dave Spoon McLeod to help develop a successful rope swing using a helicopter to swing from for an upcoming episode of the Jack Osbourne Adrenaline Junkies TV show. This is right up my alley, I jumped at the chance to combine rope-climbing skills with my favourite aerial vehicle, the helicopter.
Now, wingsuit skydiving for the Becks Beer ad campain was totally incredible. The job description was to jump from one heilcopter, fly my wingsuit close by a ground based camera crew, then fly close to the ridges on the front face of the Remarkables Range, right in front of the camera halecipter hovering further down the hill. Fantastic, this is the stuff I live for. I got the most amazing visuals, flying my body down through the terrain.
The Lexus Pursuit TV Commercial was a lot of fun to achieve the shots that the director was looking for. A tiny platform was built on the rocky outcrop, big enough for myself & cameraman Sol Vallis who nailed the air to air shot. Safety man Simon Rasmussen led the way to assess the windy conditions & give the cameraman in the helicopter some practice at shooting a rapidly accelerating human. While waiting for the wind to improve, the crew shot the aerials of me on the edge...peering down into the depth of the jump, quite happy to be near the steep stuff.

Waves Drop Game Two to Seton Hall 3-1
Austin Davidson and Bryan Langlois Collect Two Hits against Pirates
March 9, 2013
MALIBU, Calif. – Pepperdine struggled offensively for the second straight game and dropped a 3-1 decision to Seton Hall in non-conference action Saturday at Eddy D. Field Stadium. The Waves (7-7), playing without the services of three regulars could not come up with the key hits against the Pirates (2-9), who collected the road series victory.
Austin Davidson (Oxnard, Calif./Oxnard HS) went 2-for-4 with a double, while Bryan Langlois (Oak Park, Calif./Oak Park HS) went 2-for-3 with a run scored to lead Pepperdine at the plate.
Seton Hall got on the scoreboard first in the second inning collecting a pair of singles and scored a run with two outs on a wild pitch by righthander Corey Miller (Laguna Nigel, Calif./Serra HS). The Pirates increased their lead to 2-0 in the sixth on a pair of singles and a sacrifice fly. After a throwing error by Pepperdine, Scott Kalamar slapped an RBI double down the right field line for a 3-0 lead heading to the bottom of the seventh.
Pepperdine pushed its lone run of the gam across in the seventh. After a one-out single by Langlois and a groundout, the Waves right fielder advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single from Ranny Lowe (Granada Hills, Calif./Notre Dame HS).
Miller (2-2) turned in a solid outing, allowing two runs off five hits in 6.0 innings with three strikeouts and three walks. Josh Prevost (1-0) collected the win for Seton Hall, allowing one run off five hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in 6.1 innings. Eric Karch (Fresno, Calif./Clovis West HS) tossed 2.0 innings of relief, allowing one unearned run off one hit and struck out a pair. Jackson McClelland (Beaumont, Calif./Redlands East Valley West HS) tossed a scoreless ninth.
Brian Gilbert collected the save for the Pirates, going 2.0 scoreless innings with no hits and two strikeouts. Kalamar finished his day 2-for-3, while Ryan Sullivan also collected a pair of hits. Both teams recorded seven hits in the contest.
Pepperdine looks to bounce back in Sunday's series finale against Seton Hall. First pitch of game three s set for 1:00 p.m. in a game featuring live streaming video via WaveCasts.

CARMEL >> Carmel activist Carolina Bayne plans a quiet march next month led by a bagpiper and fueled by furor over the city government's top administrator.
Bayne, who years ago demanded that the city famed for having no residential mail boxes offer limited home mail delivery, is taking aim at three-year City Administrator Jason Stilwell in a petition drive started this week.
Bayne collected signatures in front of the Carmel post office late Wednesday morning and found some sympathizers and others who felt quite the opposite.
Several people walked briskly by the table Bayne and assistant Stephanie Kirz had set up, while at least one tourist, a woman from British Columbia, said she was quite willing to sign anything to save such a pretty little city as Carmel.
Another Carmel resident, who refused to give her name, blasted the petition, saying things were far worse under Stilwell's predecessor.
Bayne, whose group Save Carmel Together she said has about 12 members, contends the policies and actions of Stilwell have taken a toll on the city's finances and its international reputation.
"Our agenda is to get Carmel back on the straight and narrow," Bayne said.
The petition lists nine items for which the group finds fault with Stilwell. They range from a wave of terminations and resignation of several longtime workers and at least two pending civil suits filed by employees to the hiring of out-of-town attorneys and a $900,000 tab for a new restroom at the south end of Carmel Beach.
Mayor Jason Burnett said he and Stilwell met with members of the group on Monday, and they demanded that he call a council meeting within 48 hours to address their concerns.
Burnett said points raised by the group against Stilwell reflect decisions made by the council. He said it is "quite unethical" to ask the council to punish Stilwell for its own actions.
"They should raise those concerns with the decision-making body and not blame our staff for following the directions of the decision-making body," said Burnett, who won his second term in April while facing only token opposition.
"It's perfectly fine to disagree with decisions I've made, but to blame our staff for simply doing their job is unacceptable," Burnett said.
Stilwell, a former Santa Barbara County administrator, started in Carmel in 2011 and succeeded Rich Guillen, who resigned that year after the city settled a sexual harassment lawsuit against him and Carmel for $600,000.
In December, the City Council extended Stilwell's contract for three years and raised his base annual salary to $185,325.
"The council has confidence in our city administrator, and the community has confidence in our council — at least they did in the most recent election," Burnett said.
Bayne said one of her biggest concerns is "a lack of transparency." Community residents don't know why there is such a turnover among employee ranks. She pointed to the recent termination of a city clerk who held the job for only 45 days.
The president of the Carmel Residents Association said she hadn't seen Bayne's petition and couldn't comment on the issue.
Sue McCloud, who preceded Burnett as mayor, said she wants Carmel to succeed and said she didn't want to "add fuel to the fire."
"I'm not playing any role. That's for the people to decide," McCloud said. She said she wouldn't sign the petition.
Bayne is no stranger to political causes. She said she previously has worked on efforts involving term limits, workers' compensation reform, water and the Rancho San Carlos subdivision.

I own an HP G72 laptop (G72-B60US) and would like to know what the biggest hard drive is that it can handle without diminishing performance. The good folks at hp tell me a 750 GB/5400 rpm hdd is the limit. However they couldn't answer my deeper questions as they basically are reading from a script. Ideally I'd like to run a 1 TB/7200 rpm hdd or a 750 GB/7200 rpm hdd. I suspect if performance actually would suffer from a "too big" hard disc drive it's due to the limits of the processor. So if anyone knows for sure whether or not a large capacity 1TB/7200 rpm hard drive will work in my particular laptop, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Thank You

The problem is not the capacity or the speed of the drive it is the physical dimensions. Last time I checked, the 1 tb 2.5 inch drives are too thick to be used in laptops; they are more for servers and such. The largest capacity drives which are the same dimensions as your original drive (2.5 inches wide and 9 or 9.5 mm thick) is a 750 gig. You can safely use this drive, for example:
Ok I also checked newegg for 1 tb drives and they do have 1 tb 9.5 mm drives but nothing running at 7200 rpm; they are 5400s. Personally I would rather have the 750 gig 7200 rpm than a 1 TB 5400...I will only use 7200 rpm drives.

Spring football roster: First look
Only have time for a quick post, but wanted to give you guys news about USF's new spring football depth chart and roster -- I'll add the depth chart in full here tonight or tomorrow. We told you this week that sophomore cornerbacks Antonio and Antwane Cox were transferring to Bethune-Cookman, and there are three walk-ons who are no longer on roster: defensive linemen Bryan Hall and Treco Bellamy and defensive back Chris Ellick. Hall had missed significant time with some family concerns he left to deal with. Bellamy had played some at defensive end last year, and Ellick (whose brother Dwight played at Notre Dame) was a regular on special-teams coverage units. I don't have the names of the new walk-ons added to the roster, but should have those by Tuesday. (We'd reported here that linebacker Josh Soto was off the roster, but as of Monday morning, he's back on.)
A few wrinkles on the depth chart:
-- Redshirt freshman Aston Samuels has moved ahead of junior Ricky Ponton as the top backup to junior running back Ben Williams. Freshman Mike Ford, one of the players everyone will be watching this spring, isn't on the current two-deep, but that could change in the next month.
-- Samuels is one of seven redshirt freshmen (first-year players) who are listed as top backups at their positions. The rest? Receiver Carlton Mitchell, offensive linemen Jeremiah Warren, Zach Hermann and Jacob Sims, tight end Andrew Ketchel and defensive end Brandon Peguese.
-- I count only eight seniors listed as starters, and one of those is defensive end Jarriett Buie, who can get another year of eligibility by graduating by spring 2008. Only three on offense -- receiver Amarri Jackson, center Nick Capogna and tackle Walter Walker, with nose tackle Richard Clebert, linebacker Ben Moffitt and cornerbacks Trae Williams and Mike Jenkins as the other senior starters. Only four other seniors are listed as top backups (LT Jared Carnes, NT Allen Cray, DT Tavarious Robinson, LB Sam Miller).
-- I'll get another post up soon, just for silly details like the offseason weight gain/loss champs. Bonus points to any reader who can guess which four Bulls shrunk an inch from their last listed height. I'm not asking for 4-for-4s, just something to help get those crazy 20-comment posts basketball has been pulling down lately ...
