Gigagolf Verve Ti 17 Driver Review
Gigagolf offers the new Verve Driver for 2010
If you are in the market for a new golf driver and $400-$500 seems excessive, here's the good news. You can get brand-new, custom-fitted quality golf driver that plays as good as a name-brand driver for under $100.
The Verve 17 Ti Driver is Gigagolf's new driver offering for 2010. The Verve driver represents the next generation of technologically advanced drivers packaged up in a classic shape that doesn't flaunt it's high-tech construction. Modeled after the Ping G15 driver, but selling for only $99 nicely configured, the Verve driver from Gigagolf is 2010's best-kept secret!
The Verve driver has high MOI for maximum forgiveness on mis-hits and a variable face thickness for an expanded sweet spot. Any golfer can take advantage of the Verve's features to improve their game off the tee, and Gigagolf's custom fitting makes sure you will get a club that matches your swing and maximizes your benefits.
The Verve 17 Ti is an excellent choice for the golfer who is looking to replace an older model driver and who wants a quality driver that will provide years of use and help lower their handicap. The Verve Driver delivers. Another great aspect is that this club isn't designed for any specific type of golfer. The Verve 17 Ti Driver can be used successfully by low handicappers all the way up to 30+ handicappers.
Verve 17 Driver Materials and Specs
Like most of the new drivers on the market today, the Verve 17 Ti driver head is a composite construction. It has a lightweight carbon crown that is extra-thin to push more of the weight to the bottom of the club. The face of the club is a forged titanium insert that utilizes variable face thickness (VFT) just like the Ping G15 driver to expand the sweet spot and offer you maximum forgiveness and playability. Even drives that aren't hit in the center of the club face will travel long and straight due to this advanced VFT technology (it's almost unheard of that a golf driver using such advanced clubface technology can be found for under $300 - but the Verve has it all for around $100!)
The swingweight on all the Verve drivers is D1. You can select loft from 8° (only on the Verve Ti Ion) through 13.5°, so there is a loft available for just about everyone.
The Verve Ti Driver uses all 460cc of volume allowed by the USGA, but it also utilizes an advanced aerodynamic design to reduce drag which can limit clubhead speed with today's larger drivers. The standard length of the Verve Ti driver is 45" for men and 44" for women, but this is fully customizable (see below) using the Gigagolf Efit system.
Personal Views on the Verve Ti Driver
I received the Verve 17 Ti ion Driver in the mail last week and the first thing I thought when I took it out of the shipping box was, "This reminds me of my old Ping G10 driver." So I went out to the garage and pulled out the old Ping G10 and sure enough, the resemblance was certainly there.
That was a good boding for me, because of all the drivers I've ever owned, the Ping G10 is one of the best I've ever hit. The only reason I don't have it in my bag right now is because I got it 3 years ago when I was rehabbing from some shoulder problems. My swing speed was way down then, so I got a G10 with a regular flex shaft. It was great then, but a little too whippy for me now that I have a faster swing speed.
Nevertheless, I knew I had to take both the Ping G10 and the Verve 17 out to the range for a little side-by-side comparison.
I am happy to report that the similarities between the Ping G10 driver and the Verve 17 driver do not end with the looks. In fact, I found out later from the good folks at Gigagolf that the Verve 17 driver was designed loosely on the Ping G15 (on the 2010 Golf Digest Hot List as the best in class). The classic styling and the variable face thickness combine to make the Verve 17 driver a truly world-class driver in performance.
Testing the Verve 17 Ti Driver against the Ping G10
I was really excited to test the new Verve 17 driver against my old Ping G10 driver. Out on the range, I did my normal warm up routine first hitting some easy sand wedges and them working my way up through the irons and into the fairway woods. When I was finally warmed up, I pulled out the big dogs.
I decided to hit the G10 first and hit 5 balls with it. The regular flex makes it a little harder to control and gives me a slightly higher ball flight than I prefer. Nevertheless, I hit some solid shots. Only one was off target and the best one sailed high and straight and landed well beyond the 250 marker on the fly. I knew my swing was on, so then I picked up the Verve.
The first thing I noticed was that the look of the club at setup. When I let the G10 clubhead rest on the ground behind the ball, it has a bit of an "open" look. The Verve was much more "square" looking in the setup. I guess they call this a neutral position. It's not hooded or closed, so it wasn't a bad look - just different than the G10.
My first swing with the Verve was not my best. I hit the ball a little towards the heel and it didn't feel so great or look so great. But the next 4 drives I hit with the Verve were beauties. They flew straight as an arrow with a much more penetrating trajectory than the G10 (the Verve 17 driver I was testing had a Pursuit stiff shaft and the G10 had a stock Regular flex shaft).
Because of the shaft differences between the two drivers, this wasn't an apples to apples comparison. But it was still a good idea. The drives with the Verve didn't seem to carry quite as far - they appeared to land just past the 250 marker, but they did seem to roll pretty well.
Putting the Verve 17 Ti Driver on the Launch Monitor
It's one thing to visually look at how a club performs, but swinging on a launch monitor gives you the scientific data you need to make accurate assessments. Luckily, I was able to take the Ping G10 and the Verve 17 Ti to a local golf shop (just across the street from the driving range) and test them out on the launch monitor there (thanks, Jeff!).
The numbers confirmed what I had seen on the range, but with a little surprise. I was hitting the Ping G10 farther in the air - mostly because of the regular shaft. Out of 10 swings with the G10, the highest swing speed was 116 mph, but the launch angle and the spin rate were a little higher than I'd prefer. The result: I was averaging a carry of about 280 with the G10 and roll of 15 for 295 total.
With the Verve, my highest swing speed was 113 mph, but the launch angle was a nice 16° and the spin rate was in the low 3000 rpm. All this translated to an average ball carry of just over270 yards with the Verve, but with 25 yards of roll, the Verve actually beat out the G10 in total distance by 1.7 yards.
While that may not seem like a big deal, the big deal is that the G10 cost 3 times as much. The money you save by buying a Verve from Gigagolf allows you to play an extra 5-10 rounds of golf during the summer. That's value!
Customization Features of the Verve Ti Driver
The best part about ordering golf clubs from GigaGolf is that you get to use their easy online E-Fit system. This allows you to choose the kind of shaft you want, the proper flex and length of the shaft, and the kind of grip you want. Gigagolf will then build the driver to your specifications and ship it to you, usually within a day or two of ordering. Don't worry if you aren't sure what kind length or flex to get. The E-Fit system offers easy advice for what's best for you. Here are some of my own tips:
You can't go wrong with the standard grips and shafts Gigagolf offers (they are already premium components). But upgrading offers you some really serious shafts and high quality grips. The cool thing is that even if you choose every single upgrade, the driver would still cost 1/3 the price of brand new name-brand driver with stock shafts and grips and no customization.
I tend to hit my driver fairly high already, so I like to upgrade to one of the ultra-premium shafts that has a higher kick point and that gives me a lower, more penetrating ball flight. If you understand some of those technicalities of your swing, Gigagolf can build it for you. But don't worry if you don't understand flex and kick point.Just use the standard shaft, follow the E-Fit advice and you will end up with a great driver - often for less than $100 (the club I tested above was $126 as configured).
Also available is the Verve 17 Ti Ion Driver which comes in a black finish and the Verve 17 Ti Draw Driver is also available for those who need or prefer a draw bias on their driver. While I'm not a big fan of masking swing faults with a draw bias, I also realize some golfers don't have the time to work on their swings. So if you are a perpetual slicer who doesn't have the time to fix your swing, the draw bias model can help to reduce or eliminate your slice.
Verve 17 Ti Driver Conclusion
The Verve 17 Ti driver from Gigagolf is a serious contender for one of the best new drivers for 2010. You won't find Gigagolf clubs on Golf Digest's Hot List (yet). But even though the Verve drivers lack the brand name backing, they don't lack any of the features or benefits of the more expensive drivers from Ping, Callaway or TaylorMade.
What I really like about Gigagolf is that they aren't just some clone golf club mill that sells open mold clubs like so many other of the discount golf club makers. Gigagolf staff is passionate about golf. They designed the Verve 17 driver in house and they have excellent customer service. You save lots of money simply because they don't pay huge endorsement fees to the pros and they don't pay the huge advertising costs to be on TV or in the glossy golf magazines. But their clubs play just as good as the big names.
Give the Verve Ti driver a try. You have nothing to lose. You see, if you don't like them, Gigagolf offers a 30 day playability guarantee. You can send the driver back for a refund or have them put a different shaft on. But I'm confident that once you try out the new Verve Ti driver, you are going to want to keep this driver in your bag. The technology is fabulous, and the price is hard to beat.

Marin's Dipsea Race is known for many special things. It is the oldest cross-country race in the United States. Its course is stunningly beautiful and varied and so treacherous that scores end up in the medical tent each year. The handicaps, part of the race since 1905, have made champions of runners age 8 and 72. But, perhaps most important, the Dipsea has been a pioneer in extending opportunities to women, and to showcasing their capabilities.
On Friday evening, at the pre-race dinner in Mill Valley, Barbara Robben, who has run more Dipseas than any other woman, was inducted into the Dipsea Race's Hall of Fame. She became the hall's 29th member, and sixth woman.
Barbara has deep Dipsea roots. Beginning in 1956, her parents, George and Wilma Leonard, bought more than 2,000 acres on the west slope of Mt. Tamalpais. One purchase was the White Gate Ranch, covering the last 1.3 miles of the Dipsea Trail, from the children of William Kent. Before the newly created Golden Gate National Recreation Area took title to the Dipsea portion of the Leonard's land in 1972, George and Wilma deeded a permanent easement for the Dipsea Trail to the citizens of Marin County.
In 1964, Barbara's brother Mark Leonard finished third and her husband Franklin Robben came in 20th. Barbara made her own Dipsea debut in 1970, one year before the sport's governing body in this country finally allowed women as official entrants in American distance races. (Women have subsequently won the Dipsea 20 times.) As both her father and son Michael also ran, it was likely the first three-generation Dipsea finish ever.
"I didn't want to let the boys in the family have all the fun," Robben said to an audience that greeted her with a standing ovation. "Florence Chadwick (who broke the speed record for swimming the English Channel in 1950) was a great inspiration to me on what women can achieve."
"All my mother ever wanted was to do sports, swimming first (she is the first person known to swim the Straits of Mackinac separating Lakes Huron and Michigan), then running," Michael said. "It makes her happy at a deep level."
In the years since, Barbara has missed only two Dipseas. She once finished despite breaking a bone in her foot. In 1998, she was 184th, her highest placing. Sunday, Barbara, still a very nimble downhiller, will run her 43rd 7.5-mile footrace from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach. She should also become the race's first 80-year old woman finisher, a feat that would have been deemed impossible not all that long ago.
"Barbara is very strong-willed," Leonard said. "Anything she sets out to do will likely happen."
Outside of the Dipsea, Barbara still enters more than 75 races a year, including swims and triathlons, and has completed well over 2,500 in her lifetime. She won a gold medal in the world aquathon (swim and run) championships in Budapest in 2010.
Mill Valley's Emma Reiman was the first woman elected to the race's hall of fame as one of its five charter members in 1993. Reiman twice won and twice finished second in the pioneering Dipsea Women's Hikes held 1918-22, bona fide races outdrawing the Dipsea each year but called hikes to dodge the national ban on women in distance races.
Elze Tuinzing was inducted in 1996 after establishing a string of Dipsea records for women in their 60s and 70s. Eve Pell, who won the 1989 Dipsea and collected 12 black (top-35 finish) shirts, joined in 2000. Shirley Matson, a four-time Dipsea winner, most of any woman, was chosen in 2002. Melody-Anne Schultz, whose three wins include two by more than five minutes, was selected in 2011. Pell, 77, and Schultz, 72, are also racing on Sunday.
"I've done a lot of races," Robben said. "But nothing compares to the Dipsea."

JERUSALEM (Jan. 25)
Jerusalem is not only the capital of Israel but of the Jewish nation, Premier Ben Gurion declared today. He expressed the hope that Jerusalem would soon become Jewry's world center for peace, justice, art and science.
Speaking at a ceremony at which leading members of the government and the Jewish Agency signed a scroll to be laid under the cornerstone of the future World Zionist Congress building, the Israel Premier said: "This building symbolizes the eternal ties between Jerusalem and the Jewish nation." The cost of the building, which will have an auditorium with a seating capacity of 10,000, was estimated at about $3,000,000 by Rabbi Z. Gold, member of the Jewish Agency executive.
The Israel Government will spend more than $1,000,000 by April 1 on the transfer of the Parliament and government offices from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, it was learned today. The Cabinet met this morning and heard a report on the national budget for the fiscal year of 1950.

See no evil
Blagojevich oblivious to problems close to his administration
As with George Ryan before him, I'm really finding it difficult to believe that Gov. Rod Blagojevich is as clueless as he claims.
Blagojevich says he had absolutely no idea that Tony Rezko was up to no good. Rezko is a very close friend of the governor's who raised millions of dollars for his campaign, has put many people into important positions in Blagojevich's administration, and was a business partner of Mrs. Blagojevich's for eight years.
Rezko was indicted last week by the federal government for a host of corrupt activities that U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald termed a "pay-to-play scheme on steroids."
The governor says he occasionally asked Rezko about all of the allegations floating around. "He reassured me over and over again," that he was clean, Blagojevich told the editorial board of the Daily Southtown last week.
Blagojevich also told the paper that he didn't pay attention to the allegations about Rezko for the past two-and-a-half years because they were just "rumors."
Apparently the governor has absolutely no trust or interest in this state's newspapers, which have been diligently reporting tales of Rezko's nefarious antics since at least 2004. If the governor is telling the truth, he must not have done more than skim just a few of those dozens of stories. A closer read would have set off serious alarm bells in any reasonable mind.
Back in July 2004, during the height of a campaign-year sex scandal involving Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jack Ryan, I wrote that the "scandal of the year" was not about sex but about some dirty state deals that allegedly involved Rezko. "The governor needs to clean up his own house," I wrote back then, "or somebody is going to the big house."
This was not an unusual opinion at the time. The papers were full of stories about Rezko and have been ever since. But the governor claims that none of it was serious enough to spur him to action.
Here's the real kicker, though. The Southtown also asked the governor if he was confident that Chris Kelly, his friend, fundraiser, and adviser, would never be indicted.
"Yeah. Yes. They're two different people, by the way, and it's a different relationship. Chris and I are much closer. Chris is the head of my political campaign. That's someone I talk to a lot more frequently. I'm confident, yes."
But Kelly plays a significant role in the prosecutors' version of Rezko's alleged lawbreaking. Kelly's alleged role was also highlighted in Democratic fundraiser Joe Cari's guilty plea.
According to both the Rezko indictment and Cari's plea, Kelly was allegedly part of a shakedown scam designed to fatten the governor's campaign account. Kelly, who denies all wrongdoing, is not mentioned by name, but reports and sources indicate that he is the guy that the feds were referring to.
If the U.S. attorney's office is to be believed, Kelly, the governor's best buddy, the head of the governor's political campaign, the man the governor trusts more than anyone else in politics, at the very least had a hand in some seriously corrupt activities. Yet the governor flatly denies that Kelly is involved in any way.
Apparently Blagojevich has learned absolutely nothing from the Rezko indictment. People have been trying to tell him for years that something big is rotten in his administration, and he has smiled that smile of his and insisted that he runs the cleanest administration ever.
Our options here: (1) Blagojevich knows about the corruption and is a very good liar. (2) The governor isn't curious enough to delve deeper than a headline and seriously question his friends. (3) He is utterly incapable of trusting any information that contradicts his own beliefs. (4) Fitzgerald is completely wrong, even though he has yet to lose a corruption case.
Whatever the answer, the Southtown interview pretty much proves that this governor will do next to nothing to clean up the real problems within his administration.

Quick question. Would it be safe to restore apps and data with TI backup Pro (from Beans B6)? I may be wrong, but I'm under the impression that as long as it's the same build (AOSP or TW) that restoring with TI backup shouldn't be an issue.

ATLANTA -- Delta Air Lines is cancelling its daily, nonstop service between Atlanta and Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.
The last southbound flights to the two cities will be Nov. 30 and the last northbound flights will be Dec. 1, Delta said Friday.
The airline said it will continue daily, nonstop service between Atlanta and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
''Lower demand for air travel worldwide and the continued weak U.S. and global economy has resulted in significant financial losses for these services,'' senior vice president Subodh Karnik said.

A transformation has taken place within the walls of the historic building which is Craven College in High Street, Skipton.
Inside its Edwardian facade work has been completed to bring it into the 21st century with state-of-the art facilities that few other colleges of its size could match.
The refurbishment has seen the relocation of students in the Academy of Hair and Beauty from Coach Street and Victoria Square, Skipton, along with students studying catering and hospitality into new facilities.
The work complements the College Brasserie, prep kitchen and skills kitchen where students are training to be chefs, service personnel and events and venue managers.
Principal Robert Bellfield said: "We continue to invest significant funds in our accommodation to provide industry standard facilities for all our students.
"The new Academy of Hair and Beauty includes new hair salons, beauty salon and nail salon. The ground floor hair salon will be run by managers and will feature two new individual treatment beauty rooms."
Students can get all the information they want about studying at Craven College from an information point.
There are opportunities to study for A-levels or a vocational qualification or take the apprenticeship route into employment. Part-time study is also available to update qualifications, to build up a CV and increase earning potential, change career direction or get back into work or just for the pleasure of meeting new people and experiencing a new challenge.
The college is planning an official launch and opening of the new facilities shortly.

Update: Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be in Rochester at 11 a.m. to tout NY Safe Act.
Syracuse, N.Y. -- New York has new gun and mental health laws, Congress approved a $50.7 billion aid plan for Sandy victims and the State Fair has a new director.
And it's just Wednesday.
Today, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in Albany, presumably getting ready for his next big task: the 2013-2014 state budget comes out next week. The New York State Assembly is having a hearing in Manhattan on extreme weather and we learn at noon today whether Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner will run for a second term. Follow @mbreidenbach on Twitter to get the news first.
Cuomo signed a sweeping gun control package into law Tuesday, including changes about how mental health professionals and law enforcement deal with severe patients who have guns. The law also creates more penalties for those who use guns in crimes.
The Brady Campaign called New York a tremendous leader.
Gun advocates reacted with many frustrations, including this: No one makes or sells a seven-round magazine, they say.
Across the state, gun permits nearly doubled in 2012. The new law restricts public access to personal information in gun permit data.
New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, who supports the NY Safe Act, celebrated by freezing pension investments from commercial gun companies.
Here's how Central New York lawmakers voted.
I'm working on a Q&A about what the new laws mean for gun owners and mental health patients. Let me know your questions in the comments below.
Tuesday was also disclosure day for campaign financial reports. Cuomo has $22.5 million cash on hand. You can look up campaign reports here.
New York state
Only in New York, part 1: Property taxes going up on homes severely damaged by Sandy.
Only in New York, part 2: New York City cops are putting GPS trackers on bottles of Oxycontin.
If you believe that all that, Rochester has a library to sell you.
Finally, good news about bath salts: overdose cases on the decline in West Virginia.
Connecticut, meanwhile, is writing its rules for medical marijuana.
Yikes! One in four Americans are raiding their own retirement accounts.

We are 5 weeks away from the 2010 NFL Draft. Our Draft Project at UltimateNYG is doing groundbreaking work.
To refresh any late comers, please review the concept of the Draft Project. It is intensive in scope and has a number of powerful features:
1) It will rate players on expectation of the level they will achieve as a pro.
2) By standardizing the levels with consistent grading across all positions, players can be compared to one another seamlessly across the draft.
3) By rating players on their expected level attained as a professional, we'll be able to measure each year's draft against other years for relative strength or weakness of the overall class year.
4) By clearly and concisely stating the expected level that a player attains, the draft analyst will now be able to be judged using the same objective metrics that we are rating with the players.
5) The Draft Project is being run for the purpose of informing all visitors to UltimateNYG of draft value as seen by its analysts.
6) The Draft Project welcomes all entries from the public at-large to find and display the unique talents of football fans who lack traditional credentials. We look to find and herald amateur analysts who deserve a forum and deserve the opportunity to be borne out over time.
7) By using a methodology that is objective, we aim to raise the standards of talent evaluation. There will always be art in draft analysis. Now we will be able to identify the artists that are performing their function and those that are not.
I have been working closely with Wonder to classify every player believed to be in the Top 200 of this draft class. It is a daunting task that requires a great deal of time. I hope and trust that he, Pete and all public entrants are afforded an adequate amount of recognition for the work they are putting into this. If any and all of them are not able to produce satisfactory results, it will be a matter of record. Successful prediction will be honored and singled out. It is the goal of this blog to verify the work that is put out and this project stands as a testament to that effort.
We may be able to glean other conclusions as well. All work will be submitted independently. While Pete has been posting, Wonder has not been reading Pete's eval. Yet both have (to varying degrees) panned Brandon Spikes. We may find out that two evaluators may not be right if they both LIKE a guy, but if they both DISLIKE a guy, that that may be more statistically relevant. So we believe there are going to be more than a few benefits which will come from this effort. And maybe they are both wrong too. We'll find out.
As a reminder, anyone interested in submitting a list of their Top 100 or Top 200 players should contact me. If you want to get recognition for your abilities, this is the way to do it. The deadline for submission of your rankings (1-100,200) and ratings (1-7) will be March 30th. We've got some commenters who can talk the talk. Can you walk the walk? This can be your platform too if you are up to the task. We want the best draft analysts for this blog- competition and verification will bring it out.

The Missouri basketball team rolled to an 87-54 blowout of visiting Iowa State Saturday night, improving to 3-2 in conference play. Missouri outrebounded its opponent 61-38 in the game, but it was some unusual suspects who cleaned the glass for the Tigers in the victory.
Sophomore guard Michael Dixon and junior guard Matt Pressey led the Tigers with eight rebounds each, largely due to the poor three-point shooting by the Cyclones throughout the game. Iowa State was 4 for 22 from long range, leading to a large quantity of long rebounds for the Tiger guards.
"Rebounds were the key to the game for us," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. "When you have guards leading you in rebounds that tells you we got in the trenches tonight. Matt Pressey and Mike Dixon, those guys did a great job of getting there and getting some of those long rebounds."
Dixon led the Tigers in scoring as well, putting up 15 points to go along with two assists in the game. Anderson said he was impressed with the performance from his young guard.
"I think Mike (Dixon) was the best he's played all year," Anderson said. "I thought he was zoned in defensively and offensively and sharing the basketball. I thought he was the barometer in the first half and ignited a lot of things for our basketball team."
The Tigers jumped out to a 48-26 halftime lead, forcing 12 turnovers early on. The shot-heavy Cyclones were forced into bad attempts and contested layups, with the Tigers applying high pressure on the Iowa State perimeter players. Cyclone senior standout Diante Garrett was held in check throughout the game by the Tiger defense, and finished 3 of 16 from the field for six points. Junior guard Kim English said the team tried to focus on starting the game out strong.
"We knew that they're a good team and if they came in and stuck around with us early, that confidence would only get bigger," English said. "So we definitely tried to make a concerted effort to come out and get stops early and hopefully get easy turnovers and easy baskets."
Missouri also saw a standout performance from junior transfer Ricardo Ratliffe, who was a presence on both ends of the court for the Tigers. The forward finished with 12 points, six rebounds and six blocks in the game, and was extremely active contesting Iowa State in the paint. Ratliffe said intimidation was a factor in the Cyclone's struggle inside.
"I think I was the first one to send a message," Ratliffe said. "When you get that many blocks people start to think when they come in the hole that they have to look over their shoulder."
Anderson agreed, attributing Ratliffe's performance to his recently-gained experience.
"(Ratliffe) played very well tonight, and gave an exceptional effort going for rebounds on defense," Anderson said. "Ricardo did a good job of disrupting their shots inside, and he also faced up for his shots on offense. Now that he has some Big 12 experience, he comes out for games with more focus."
The Tigers now get a week of rest before squaring off against the surging Texas Longhorns, who upset No. 2 ranked Kansas Saturday night. Anderson praised the Longhorns, and said he knows the road game will be a challenge for the Tiger squad.
"Texas is probably playing as good as anybody in the country," Anderson said. "They're battle-tested. They're playing with a swagger, and they've been playing great at home. This will be the ultimate challenge."
Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday in Austin, Texas.

I'm trying to convert a custom string into a DateTime. I've seen several blogs and forum threads use this technique to manage a custom format.
string mysqlDateFormat = "yyyy-M-dd hh:mm:ss"; // MySQL Date Format expressed in C# custom date format specifiers (e.g. 2011-6-07 06:18:14)
DateTime inputTestCompletedDateTime = new DateTime();
if (!DateTime.TryParse(inputTestCompletedDateTimeAsString, out inputTestCompletedDateTime))
inputTestCompletedDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(inputTestCompletedDateTimeAsString, mysqlDateFormat, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
However, this code throws an error on the line within the if statement, " Exception Details: System.FormatException: The DateTime represented by the string is not supported in calendar System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.".
I've attempted modifications but they've all been less successful (where the string is not recognized as valid). However, I thought using the "CultureInfo.InvariantCulture" was the secret to processing custom (i.e. non-Gregorian) formatting.
Shouldn't the month have a leading 0? i.e. "06" instead of "6"
It doesn't look like it. The format in Workbench and when I just dump the DB table to a DataTable and render it in XHTML is 0000-0-00 00:00:00. I don't know why they render all elements in two digits except for month but they do. However, if I try formatting with pattern yyyy-MM... it fails with the error," Exception Details: System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."
As a modification (which I do like a little better) I rewrote the DAL code to convert the month to fixed two digits, %Y-%m..., it needs a DATE_FORMAT call anyway. This hasn't fixed the problem, but I am at least back to the GregorianCalendar error. I think that's closer to a solution.
I still don't understand why it expects the string to be compatible with GregorianCalendar. All the examples I've seen allow you to specify InvariantCulture and write crazy custom string patterns. Certainly much more twisted stuff than the year-month-date hour:minutes:seconds which I'm using.
Convert.ToDateTime(Your custom string) this might helps you.

It's one thing to talk sports with actors, musicians and entertainers, which we often do. It's another to talk with an actor who actually played sports at a big-time college. Joel McHale, the hilarious star of "Community" and "The Soup," is among the rare Hollywood guests who fits such a bill. With USC battling Washington on Saturday, it felt like a perfect time for McHale to join us for a conversation about his two seasons as a walk-on tight end for the Huskies. From there, we also talked about Hollywood, reality TV, and professional sports in Seattle.
The entire show can be heard here, or you can jump to specific parts by clicking the links in the breakdown below:John Shearer/Getty Images
McHale can make you laugh with stories about football or Snooki.
(2:31) - McHale relives his days as a walk-on tight end for the University of Washington, which basically translates to "glorified tackling dummy." He labeled himself only marginally talented, but considering he also only played one year of high school football, that he made the team even as a practice player is pretty impressive. Either way, it beats rowing crew and being surrounded by a bunch of hair pillows. (You heard that right: Hair pillows.)
(5:34) - McHale describes getting hit by legendarily brutal Huskies linebacker Dave Hoffman, who was tough enough to join the secret service after college. Every bit as fun as it sounds.
(10:43) - "Community" has been a breakout vehicle for McHale as an actor, but for co-star Chevy Chase, it's been a career resuscitator after some extreme highs followed by rock bottom lows. Arguably the premiere comedic actor in Hollywood throughout much of the 80's, bad projects and a reportedly even worse attitude derailed him. McHale says Chase doesn't shy away from the less flattering parts of his past.
(13:50) - McHale describes the art of ensemble comedy and praises NBC's patience with quirky, critically acclaimed shows that don't necessarily rule the ratings. Of course, it also helps that McHale is a focus group bully.
(18:12) - What's even sadder than the way stars of "The Jersey Shore," "The Bad Girls Club" and the like humiliate themselves? That said C-Listers actually want McHale to insult them on "The Soup," because it helps extend their 15 minutes of fame. Oh, the humanity!!!
(20:26) - McHale explains how the nature of comedy and what's funny to him has changed after being on "The Soup" and "Community."
(24:36) - Growing up in Seattle, McHale rooted Seahawks and Sonics. He assesses Pete Carroll's performance coaching the former team and the laments the absence of the latter.

While flipping channels this past weekend, I stopped on a program on the Indianapolis PBS affiliate WFYI called "From Naptown to Super City." The documentary outlines Indianapolis's progress from a city with a dying (if not, dead) downtown to the vibrant Super Bowl host city that it is this week. It's a great program full of fascinating interviews, anecdotes, and images of this city. If you haven't had a chance to see it and you live in Indy, the program will re-air on Saturday at 6 p.m.
One image from the documentary, in particular, caught my attention. It was of the National Sports Festival that was hosted in Indianapolis in 1982. I can't find a copy of the image anywhere online so I'll try to describe it to you (by the way, I have a VERY unreliable memory, so I might be remembering the details wrong…). Essentially, the image is of a stadium with a track, the stands are filled with fans and the infield is filled with athletes. In the center of the image stands 1, 2, and 3 from Robert Indiana's Numbers. After doing a little research, (a.k.a. reading Richard McCoy's blog from April 5), I discovered that they were used as backdrops to the gold, silver, and bronze medal platforms for the games.
The more I've thought about the image, the more I appreciate the connection to the current configuration of Numbers. We are currently displaying 4 & 6 in the Museum's Welcome Center. 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 now have a place in art history and sports history. Fingers crossed that 5, 7, 8, & 9 will have their chance one day, as well.
Indianapolis stands at the crossroads of the U.S., but now more than ever, it also stands at the crossroads of sports and art. The balance of the aesthetic and the athletic makes Indianapolis a vibrant host for the Super Bowl, but an even better home for the 1.7 million people that live in our Metro area.
Robert Indiana's Numbers are just one of the many examples of art and sports intersecting in the Circle City this week. For a full list of all the fun cultural events organized in celebration of the Super Bowl, click here.

Indianapolis artist, John Moore was in 5th grade @ this time. I remember that he won an art contest, and his designs of figures in action ( running, etc..)were painted on several sports complex walls.
Has anyone heard about John Moore? I found an Indy Black Expo article on him and his art, dated back around 01.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
Discoid bibasilar atelectasis
What is mild discoid bibasilar atelectasis?
Atelectasis refers to areas of the lung that are collased and not receiving airflow. Discoid atelectasis usually refers to subsegmental or very small areas of atelectasis. There are many causes of atelectasis including not taking sufficiently large breaths (for example, after surgery) and areas of the lung that have been injured (for example, from previous pneumonia).

Tannoy Sensys Loudspeaker System
Take a close look at the new Tannoy Sensys DC speakers. Notice anything unusual? Anything at all? I suppose that little gray pod sitting atop each speaker will catch your eye first. It's home to a SuperTweeter that's designed to extend the speaker's response out to a range that only dogs and bats can hear, claimed to be all the way up to 51 kilohertz. Look again and scrutinize the 7-inch woofer with bull's eye circles in its center; that's another, albeit standard, tweeter. Tannoy dubbed their "tweeter inside a woofer" design as Dual Concentric, a hallmark of the company's upper-end speakers that dates back to (gulp) 1948. Dual Concentric is a really big deal because it generates minimal off-axis phase shifts over its nearly full-range frequency response: High and low frequencies originate from the same point. The Dual Concentric breakthrough led to a range of legendary speakers in the pro audio and high-end markets for more than half a century.
The Sensys DC line benefits from kinship with Tannoy's $20,000 Churchill Wideband va-va-voom flagship, but the Sensys models are among the least expensive speakers ever offered with Dual Concentric drivers. Their sound is detailed, dynamic, and tonally linear; imaging is unerringly precise and focused. I listened with my mouth agape to a spectacular Glen Velez CD, Assyrian Rose, an all-acoustic recording of Middle Eastern percussion and flutes. The tactile sounds of hands beating taut drum heads caught me by surprise; it was viscerally organic and whole. The Dual Concentric's advantages are very real; I've never heard a speaker anywhere near this price that could match this sound. And this was in stereo, relying on just the floorstanding Sensys DC2 ($1,300/pair). This handsome tower stands a shade over 38 inches tall and weighs 37.5 pounds, but it feels heavier. The DC2's front baffle is covered with dark gray fabric, which adds a certain refinement to the Sensys' look. The driver complement includes that pod-mounted, 1-inch titanium dome SuperTweeter, set back on the cabinet to time-align it with the acoustic center of the Dual Concentric's 7-inch midwoofer and 1-inch titanium dome. You can't actually see that dome, as it resides behind a wave guide that is said to produce a spherical wave launch to better blend with the midwoofer. The second, 7-inch driver is a paper woofer. Yeah, I know the woofers look metallic, but they are, in fact, "multi-fibre paper pulp." Old-fashioned, yes, but I know lots of speaker designers who believe that nothing sounds better than paper woofers.
The squat, 13.75-inch-wide DCC center speaker ($549) forgoes the standard woofer-tweeter-woofer arrangement in favor of a single Dual Concentric 7-inch unit and the topside SuperTweeter. You can use the 16-inch-tall bookshelf model, the DC1 ($500), as a surround or front speaker. It features the same driver complement as the DCC. In back, all three models feature impressively solid all-metal, biwireable binding posts that are more than a few notches above the sort I usually spot on affordable speakers. Beyond the four de rigueur biwire posts, a fifth post offers a separate ground link to the amplifier. Tannoy claims that you can use it to reduce the radio-frequency noise and hash that the speaker's voice coils pick up. Whatever. Two sets of grilles come with each speaker: a conventional full-height, cloth grille and a nifty little circular mesh screen to protect the SuperTweeter. The Sensys speakers are all magnetically shielded; finishes are limited to maple, black ash, and a rosewood vinyl wrap. Considering the Sensys' stellar build and sound quality, Tannoy's pricing is flat-out remarkable.
The speakers are all ported. As with any speaker, placing them near walls might induce an overabundance of bass. You got a problem with that? The nice folks at Tannoy included, ahem, "damper bungs"—aka foam plugs to stop-up the ports and attenuate a bit of the low-end oomph. Then again, some folks crave big bottom ends, and unbunged DC2s may strike their fancy.
I fed the Sensys speakers with my Sunfire Theater Grand III pre/pro and Ayre V-6x power amp. To bring things down to a real-world level, I also substituted a $599 Marantz SR5400 receiver for the pre/pro and power amp. I divided my audition time equally between the two sets of electronics and, sure, the pricier components added a greater sense of gravitas and refinement to the sound. My Denon DVD-2900 universal player delivered the goods to both sets of electronics. I found the Sensys speakers to be somewhat directional; they sound best when you aim them just behind the sweet spot. Tannoy's next-generation TS Series subwoofers were still a few months away when I worked on this review, so I pressed my trusty REL Storm III subwoofer into service. Tannoy's subs should be at their dealers by the time you read this.
The Sensys' uber-resolution paid big dividends as I indulged in many an SACD and DVD-Audio listening marathon. Oh man, the Chicago V DVD-Audio disc conjured a remarkably coherent soundstage, more like super-stereo than a discontinuous hodgepodge of instruments popping out of the mix. The entire disc sounds great, but the bonus track, "Dialogue" (recorded live at Chicago's Aerie Crown Theatre in 1972), became my go-to demo. The Sensys' vivid 3-D portrayal of the band and crowd was as good as it gets.
Dylan's Blonde on Blonde SACD displayed a newfound believability and scale, so the music was more vital than ever. I could hear "into" Dylan's recordings. I was more aware of his sound filling the studio, and I felt like I was witnessing the man making his music. This isn't any sort of effect or trick that the Sensys speakers generated. The sound of the Rolling Stones' one and only 5.1 offering, the Sympathy for the Devil remix, sounded totally synthesized. Bass definition was nice and tight, but the low low-end was a tad lazy and slow. The percussion and "whoo-whoo" chorus coming from the surround speakers sounded disembodied, unrelated to the music that was rocking out of the front three speakers. Hey, it's not a great mix, and the Tannoys just tell it like it is.
Since the Super(duper)Tweeter doesn't make its entrance until 16 kHz, I was more than a little curious about the audibility of its very high-frequency output. I conducted a simple experiment: I blocked the tweeters with some socks. Yes, even my 54-year-old ears could detect a significant loss of spaciousness in the music. On Chesky's Swing Live DVD-Audio disc, the vibraphone lost its transient sheen, and cymbals didn't sparkle when the socks were soaking up the tweeters' contributions. SuperTweeter skeptics might want to duplicate my sock test or request a copy of Tannoy's White Paper on the SuperTweeters.
What about home theater sound? The Matrix Reloaded DVD displayed the sort of extra texture that I associate with electrostatic speakers, but those panel speakers never achieve the sort of razor-sharp imaging that you get from the Sensys speakers. Reloaded's pumped-up special effects stressed the Sensys ensemble at silly loud levels; when I backed the volume down a few decibels, the sound smoothed out. Morpheus' testicularly endowed voice got down to Darth Vader's menacingly low range through the DCC center speaker. Dialogue not only comes across fully formed and solidly present, but you hear inhales and exhales, subtle inflections and hesitations that lesser speakers miss. The body thuds in the kinetic fight scenes sounded more realistic, and I also noticed a heightened sense of ambience and low-level detail in the quieter scenes. Most speakers gloss over stuff that the Sensys speakers divulge.
Reloaded was fun, but Tears of the Sun provided more-realistic sound. Much of the action takes place deep in the African jungle, and the canopy of sounds—insects, birds, rain, and distant thunder—were all palpably present. This emotionally wrenching film about ethnic cleansing and tribal warfare has its share of violent, slam-you-back-in-your-chair sounds, and the Tannoys never faltered. My engagement in the story was total, and isn't that what this is all about?
Feed these Sensys speakers a well-recorded DVD or CD, and you'll be treated to ravishing depth and a wide-open spaciousness, although I sometimes thought I heard a very slight cupped-hands honk in the upper midrange. Remember, the tweeter is, in effect, horn-loaded by the 7-inch woofer, so that might be the source of the horn "coloration."
In day-to-day use, the Tannoys' extraordinary detail comes at the cost of highlighting the weaknesses of less-pristine recordings. The Ani DiFranco track on the first Sessions at West 54th DVD sounded a touch sibilant and grainy, but Lyle Lovett's "Step Inside This House" on Sessions, Volume 2 was sweet as could be. Like I said, the Sensys are very revealing speakers. In case you haven't noticed, I'm totally jazzed by their sound. You've gotta hear Tannoy's amazing Sensys speakers for yourself.

Find out how occupational therapy helps people with polytraumatic injuries.
On April 11, the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP) passed the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act of 2013 (S. 689). This bill was a first step by Congress to help address the issue of mental illness in our country, in the wake of the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. While it was adopted in the Senate by a vote of 95 to 2, it is currently being held up by the larger debate over gun control.
If the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act were to become law, it would provide new opportunities for school-based occupational therapy practitioners to play a role in mental health promotion, early identification of mental illness, and supporting students with mental illness. The bill builds on the last reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) which sought to reduce the number of children who were identified for special education by promoting school-wide initiatives for improving academic and behavioral outcomes for students. The Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act would allow Title 1 funds to be used for early intervening services (EIS) and positive behavior intervention and supports (PBIS). Inclusion of these programs into general education laws has been a core part of AOTA's "Principles for Reauthorization of No Child Left Behind".
Occupational Therapy can play an important role in school-wide initiatives designed to meet the needs of all children, regardless of their health or disability status. Such programs including EIS, PBIS, and Response to Intervention (RTI) can greatly increase students' ability to participate in the classroom and across school settings. These interventions can be used to assist students with mental and behavioral health problems, not just those with learning difficulties.
When discussion first began on possible school-based mental health legislation, some of the suggested legislative language sought to list the school personnel that would be involved in these programs, traditionally limited to school counselors, psychologists and social workers. AOTA and our coalition partners successfully worked to ensure that the final language was inclusive of all school instructional support personnel (including occupational therapists).
We will continue to follow this and other bills that relate to mental health or the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as they move through the legislative process, and we will continue to advocate for the interests of school-based occupational therapy practitioners and occupational therapy's role in mental health. The Senate is scheduled to start consideration of an ESEA reauthorization bill by early summer.

We're Announcing a Strategic Partnership with SHAKER
EmployeeScreenIQ, a global provider of employment background screening services, today announced details of its new strategic partnership with SHAKER, the market leader in custom simulations for pre-employment testing. The resulting combination of SHAKER's Virtual Job Tryout® technology and EmployeeScreenIQ's advanced screening solutions provide the companies' joint customers with high-level insight into their candidates to make smarter, data-based hiring decisions.
Companies leveraging both SHAKER and EmployeeScreenIQ benefit from some of the most innovative technology solutions to enhance the recruiting talent acquisition process. With SHAKER's Virtual Job Tryout, an interactive simulation of the on-the-job experience designed to see how candidates will perform if hired, employers benefit from a deep look at their candidates beyond the words listed on the resume. As a result, recruiters and hiring managers can make better-informed decisions about which candidates to advance, based on objective and standardized data from a multi-method evaluation experience that mirrors the complexity of the job.
Once the top candidate for each position is identified and the company is ready to extend an offer, recruiters can then leverage EmployeeScreenIQ's premium background checks to reveal any acts of irresponsibility, violence, fraud or other deviance that can impact safety and productivity. With a feet-on-the-ground approach and taking no shortcuts, EmployeeScreenIQ scours records in each county nationwide, while leveraging the national Criminal Record Database, to reveal such criminal history or other potential red flags. Therefore, companies can confidentially hire the individuals who pose no risk to their colleagues or customers.Read More

Taking a No Shortcuts Approach to Background Screening
May 11, 2015
An Illinois man recently sued both his former employer and their background screening provider because they errantly reported that he was a registered sex offender, and didn't take the time to ensure that the record actually belonged to him. The employment background check misidentified the individual, a male in his twenties, as a man in his fifties who had been convicted of sex crimes in states where he had never lived.
Unfortunately, stories like this fuel the perception that employment screening companies don't care whether they report accurate information or not—and that employers blindly make hiring decisions without allowing candidates to refute the information. However at EmployeeScreenIQ, it further validates our core belief that smarter screening means intelligent hiring.Read More

Lil Wayne Featured In MTV's VMA Promo [Video]
Lil Wayne was one of the first performers announced for the 2011 MTV VMA's that will air Sunday August 28th. Chris Brown has also been announced as a performer as well as Adele.
The VMA's are one of the few awards show that I look forward to every year because it seems like anything can happen. From the meat dress to the Kanye moment, or even an Eminem Teabag.
Wayne gives us a peak into what we might expect this year.
With MTV celebrating it's 30'th birthday this year, you can't help but think they will have something special lined up for the VMA's. If they do though, they've done a good job of keeping it under wraps. Until then you can vote on all of the "Best Of" awards right here.

I am 51 years old, fairly active and have always taken pretty good care of myself. As a devoted fan of botox and juvederm, I have a youthful look. Even when I was in good shape though, my hips and thighs were always very, "sturdy," looking. Due to an incredible amount of stress and significant life changes over the past two years, I put on almost forty pounds. The more I gained, the more depressed I became. I felt fat and desperate. I tried to change my eating habits but did not have the patients to wait weeks to see results.
So... Yesterday, I had smart lipo on my outer thighs, love handles and bra line. Wow! I walked into the clinic yesterday morning, wearing my very tight, size 14, "fat," jeans. When I left the procedure, even with swelling and thick bandages, my jeans were so loose I could take them off without unbuttoning and unzipping them! I am told that over the coming weeks, I will continue to get smaller as the swelling goes down. My goal is to look better in my clothes. I swear, even with the thick bandages my hips and thighs have NEVER looked so smooth and sculpted! And I have my waistline back! My husband was waiting for me in the waiting room and when I walked in, he couldn't believe the transformation.
O.k... Yes, it's messy and uncomfortable. Last night the leaking was significant and gross but normal. And yes, this morning I woke up feeling like I had been hit with a sledge hammer in my hips and thighs. They are bruised so it definitely hurts when I move but again, this is to be expected. I took one oxycodon last night before I went to bed and slept like a rock, which was good. I took another one this morning. Hopefully, I won't have to take anymore but if I'm still sore, I will take one more before bed tonight. Also, last night before I went to bed, I opened up a large trash bag and laid it on my bed, on top of the fitted sheet and used a little duct tape to hold it in place. I put an old blanket over that and then the absorbent pads the doc sent home with me on top of the blanket. I'm so glad I did. Really - the leaking was kind of unbelievable and it was a mess when I woke up this morning. Without the trash bag, my sheets and mattress pad would have been soaked through. It's almost noon now and the leaking is tapering off. Yesterday was a long day at the clinic but I'm glad I did it! I already look so much better that I'm definitely motivated to immediately change the terrible eating habits I've acquired over the last couple of years.

|Come on... 5 bolts in 80 feet, and the first 4 are the first 45 feet, and the 5th is just hiding up where you can't see, in the 5.8 cheese grating territory. This is an enjoyable enough climb, but could easily get in someone's head, especially as their morning's warmup.

I've been up this a few times and there's no denying the top is rather a bit runout. Last time up I did a roughly bodylengths-per-bolt guesstimate and concluded that the anchor and the last 2 bolts are each about 16' above the previous clip.
My irrational fear on this route is that the process of heaving myself around on the big starting flake will somehow tip it over...

Affordable Dual Core from AMD: Athlon 64 X2 3800+by Anand Lal Shimpi on August 1, 2005 9:36 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
Head to Head: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ vs. Pentium D 830
Is the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ worthy of its Pentium D opponent? Not to spoil the surprise, but yes, emphatically yes.
Not only are there significant advantages in single threaded games, but everything from encoding to the multitasking tests put the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ ahead of its Pentium D counterpart.
Note: The iTunes scores are Encoding Times in Minutes, lower numbers are better.
Although they aren't pictured here (for space reasons), you'll see in the coming pages that there is only one benchmark where Intel ends up ahead. The Roxio VideoWave test in PCWorld's WorldBench 5 suite completes 6 seconds quicker on the Pentium D 830 than on the Athlon 64 X2 3800+. That is one loss out of 31 total benchmarks for the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (once again, not all pictured here, but you'll see them on the coming pages).
The victory is clear and without debate, at the $300 - $400 price point, the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ is the dual core processor to get.

masher - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - link> "It is the core itself that increases the cost."
True enough-- but a die twice as large shouldn't be over twice the cost...unless your defect rate is pretty high. With a high defect rate, a double-sized die doesn't mean half the yield..it means 1/3 or less.
Intel's dual-core dies are twice as large as their single cores...AMDs are a bit smaller due to the already-embedded HT glue. If the defect rates were anywhere close, then AMD should be able to sell dual-core chips for a smaller premium than Intel. Since they aren't (which likely means can't), we must assume they're still having a fairly high defect rate.
SDA - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkThey could also just be charging a premium for the hot new thing. I suspect some of it has to do with AMD wanting to be known as high-end.. when people see Athlons in budget PCs all the time, Athlon becomes associated with budget.
Defect rate works too, though. I'm just throwing out other possibilities. Either way, I think we can agree that the CPUs don't cost more because of slick interconnect technology. Reply
krisia - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkHmmm, hasn't AMD said they've planned for dual core all along and already had tech in their single core chips to support it? So, now they decide to charge for the tech? The thing anand fails to mention is that 40% more money for 10-20% performance gain is not a "clear choice". The choice is much less clear in fact, if you consider you can't buy a X2 3800 yet... Reply
SDA - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - link40%? The X2 3800+ is supposed to cost $354, but the D 830 is $318 at NewEgg. That looks like a 10% price increase for a 10-20% performance increase AND a cooler processor. Seems like a fairly easy decision to me.
If you are suggesting that the inability to perform basic arithmetic is a reason to get the Pentium D, I concur. ;) Reply
krisia - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkIf you did the math, then you'd know I was referring to the entry price for the D820. Which is the value entry into dual core? No? Reply
SDA - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkThe AT review deals with the D 830, not the D 820. You used the numbers from the review and made your remark in the comments section of said review, and yet you feel it's obvious that you're referring to an unreviewed product even if you don't explicitly state such?
Let's leave that behind us, though. There is a very simple flaw in your comparison: you're comparing SYSTEM performance differences to PROCESSOR price differences. How about comparing the build prices of an X2 3800+ to a comparably equipped (same amount of memory, same non-core components, all of that) D 820 system, then looking at the performance difference?
If you're too lazy to do the math (and in fairness, it's a PITA to add up components just for the sake of an argument) I'll just explain it simply: it's an 8-15% price boost for 10-20% better performance and a considerably cooler-running processor (and thus, if you plan the system properly, a quieter system).
Before you get defensive, I'm not trying to say that your 820 was a poor choice. I'm certain that you made the perfect choice for your situation. However, it is clear that the 3800+ is a good value in its intended niche. Reply
krisia - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkOk, the OP didn't reference the anandtech article, only the Pentium D lineup.
It's just fun sometimes to do the unconventional or unpopular. :) Reply
SDA - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkI bet it is. Just try to think everything out ahead of time so you don't end up unable to counter the last argument against your "unconventional or unpopular" view. Reply
Amplifier - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkFirst! Reply
Hacp - Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - linkI just read toms article and it had alot of synthetic benchmarks and very few real world benchmarks............... Except the ones that favor Intel........ Reply

In 1967 the attraction was moved to California Disneyland and then subsequently moved to it's present home at Walt Disney World.

Upon entering SFCC, Ana Chávez, 21, had spent time at all three of Santa Fe's public high schools—and graduated—but she still wasn't ready for college-level coursework.
Credits: Alexa Schirtzinger
"The whole Santa Fe Public Schools system didn't work for me," Chávez tells SFR. Chávez, who immigrated to the US from El Salvador when she was nine years old, speaks perfect English now—but in high school, she says, still faced a language barrier.
When Chávez attended Santa Fe High, there were relatively few bilingual teachers, she says. (Stephens estimates that between 10 and 20 percent of his staff speaks both Spanish and English fluently; at Capital, Romero says, the fraction is closer to one-third.)
Instead, Chávez connected with other Spanish-speaking students.
"We'd never go to class because the teachers didn't want to take the time to explain [assignments] to us," Chávez says. "I don't know how I managed to pass because I never did anything."
But when her friends started dropping out and getting into trouble, Chávez says, she made up her mind to do the opposite—and she switched to Capital High.
"I lasted, like, a semester," Chávez confesses. Finally, at SER/Career Academy, she found her niche, cramming more than 23 credits into a single year before she graduated. But it still wasn't enough and, after taking SFCC's placement test, Chávez spent her first two semesters of community college in developmental math and English courses.
"I nailed English at [SER/Career] Academy," Chávez says, but there was still plenty she didn't know. "Some of this stuff, I had never gone over with them," she admits.
Once at SFCC, Chávez learned the skills she needed to earn an associate's degree. She is now in her first semester at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, pursuing a bachelor's degree in communications.
Chávez credits her own motivation, but also her family's unflagging support.
"The things my mother would tell me—'Get your butt up and go to school; remember that school's going to help you'—I knew it was from her heart," Chávez tells SFR. "You have to have somebody inspirational in your life, somebody to push you and say, 'You have to keep going.'"

text: According to a new tweet from MTLEY CRE drummer Tommy Lee, he was just offered a spot on the next season of "Dancing With The Stars", a reality show which airs on ABC in the United States and CTV in Canada. Lee writes, "I've never hit the PASS button so quick.""Dancing With The Stars" is the American version of the British BBC television series "Strictly Come Dancing". Each contestant pair consists of a celebrity and a professional dancer. Each couple performs predetermined dances and competes against the others for judges' points and audience votes. Whichever couple receives the lowest combined total of judges points and audience votes is eliminated until the champion dance pair remains. It was announced in March that Tommy Lee was developing an investigative travel show for the Syfy network. Dubbed "Culture Shock with Tommy Lee", the unscripted series will star Lee as he attempts to uncover various rituals, symbols, and other mysteries of secret societies. Lee will immerse himself in the history of each society, meet with former members and participate in their ceremonies. "This is the first show that I've been a part of that will blow our minds and reveal things that will explain almost all our questions," Lee said. "I'm very excited to be partnering with Syfy on this show. Its going to be an amazing experience for all involved." The series, which will feature one-hour episodes, is produced by ITV Studios America. Lee previously starred in NBC's six-episode run of "Tommy Lee Goes to College" in 2004, in which he attended the University of Nebraska and tried out for the school's marching band. MTLEY CRE singer Vince Neil and pro-skate partner Jennifer Wester became the second pair to be eliminated from ABC's "Skating With The Stars" reality show last December after receiving the lowest combined judges' scores and audience vote. "Skating With The Stars" was previously described as "Dancing With The Stars" on ice and came from the same producers. FOZZY singer and WWE wrestling superstar Chris Jericho was among the celebrities who appeared on the most recent season of "Dancing With The Stars".
