Our Kinda Strauss
LP (Item 18630) Rearward/Schema (Italy), Mid 60s — Condition: New Copy
Not a set of Strauss recordings, but a fantastic set of lost European recordings by the legendary Clarke/Boland Big Band – put together with the same beautiful packaging and selection as the other sets on Rearward! This volume features the band playing a lot of modal waltz-type tracks – some groovy updatings of Strauss material, others original compositions by Francy Boland, and a few of them covers like "Wives & Lovers" or "My Favorite Things". The band's filled with the usual great batch of European and American players, like Benny Bailey, Ake Persson, Johnny Griffin, Sahim Shihab, and Karl Drewo – and the liveliness of the material gives strong testament to the band's current rediscovery by the jazz cognoscenti. As with the other sets in this series, there's a nice amount of liner notes and photos, and the album's brimming over with great tracks, including "Lotus", "Just Give Me Time", "Peter's Waltz", "Keep On Keeping On", and "Cara Fea". Many tracks unreleased before, and lots of others are quite rare! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

1320. Hydro wont turn overModerators: Team Cadet, Team Cub

1320. Hydro wont turn overI have a 1320 that was bought at auction for parts for my 1315. However, I think it will make a good mower so it is no longer a parts tractor. Right now it will not turn over but will start if I put 12volts right to the starter. It has a good battery and solenoid. Best I can tell the seat, break, and clutch safety switches check good with a meter. Swapped ignition switches with 1315 and it still wont turn over with key. Does anyone have a wiring digram or any ideas where to go.
Re: 1320. Hydro wont turn overI don't know anything about CC's, but am bringing this back up in hopes you get an answer. Welcome to the Forum.

Mrs Swati (name changed), 45 years old woman had already been operated three times for her hernia. Despite that, she was suffering from it again leaving her with a large ugly bulge with scars that aggravated on standing. She had to wear a belt to hide it and could not wear saris too. She had to give up on her dancing that she was fond of. Her doctor told her that the hernia contained foodpipe that could turn dangerous anytime. Also, she had gaineda lot of weight as she gave up dancing. Her doctor explained that she should lose weight before getting the surgery done. She was scared of operations, having undergone three times earlier. She was also disgusted with the ugliness of the scars because of the previous operations. She wanted a comfortable and reliable solution to her problem.
She visited us with this request two years back and consulted us for her sorry condition. We understood her plight. A detailed evaluation of her condition was done and cause of failure of previous operations ascertained.
It was found that the first two surgeries were done without a mesh (an artificial sheet that bridges the defect without causing harm to the body). The mesh is now known to be an essential method to reduce failures from hernia surgery. The third surgery was done by traditional approach and a defect was missed. The patient's excess weight along with the above mentioned factorswere responsible for the failure of the surgery.
We explained to her that we would need to reduce her weight first by diet. Then we would go for laparoscopic surgery during which we would look for all the defects from inside and cover it with the largest possible mesh from underneath. This should her chances of failure. The part that she liked the most was that in the laparoscopic procedure, there would befewer scars, less pain and less chances of would infections.
We also gave her the options of various modern meshes and fixation devices available for hernias. The modern meshes would be softer and more pliable that would give her more comfort. The newer fixation devices would get absorbed in her body with time adding to the comfort.
She agreed to the plan, lost some weight and got operated two years back. Her large bulge at the lower belly due to the hernia is now all gone. She has taken up dancing once again that she used to love.
It is distressful for the patients with hernia when their surgery fails. Patients should know their options of hernia surgery and the types of modern mesh that are available before submitting themselves for surgery. Hernia patients who are obese should get their weight reduced ideally before taking the surgery. All this should reduce the failures in Hernia surgery.

The HaloTag® Mammalian Pull-Down System (Cat.# G6504) is used to isolate and identify intracellular protein complexes from mammalian cells. HaloTag® fusion proteins form a highly specific and covalent bond with the HaloLink™ Resin, allowing rapid and efficient capture of dilute protein complexes. These benefits, coupled with the low nonspecific protein binding features of the HaloLink™ Resin, improve the rate of successful complex capture and identification from mammalian cells. The HaloTag® Mammalian Pull-Down and Labeling System (Cat.# G6500) also includes the HaloTag® TMRDirect™ Ligand, which allows the study of cellular localization, trafficking and protein turnover using the same HaloTag® genetic construct.

He's Coming Back
For those of you who know, Rusty is coming back. For those of you who don't, well, it is time to stop hiding under a rock.
Burroughs is an amazing car artist. Mike didnt just build Rusty. He crafted Rusty with the same passion that an artist like Banksy crafts his artwork.
Here is a little photo-history of the car:
The car showed great progression. Rusty, as he is called, became less and less of a car and began to become something, something more real. He had personality. Though the rusted style is often controversial, that did not really matter with Rusty. He wasn't trendy. He was an art piece.
And then disaster struck.
The garage he was kept in befell to an accidental fire.
But he is being rebuilt… Rusty is not dead.

of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

Creekview coach Chance Cain couldn't hide his excitement for his team's wins.
"It feels great," he said. "Our goal is to get to Columbus and into the final eight, and now we're one step away."
Second-seeded Creekview (21-11) will either travel to Loganville or host Woodland-Bartow in a second-round series next week. The Lady Grizzlies, who won their first-round series for the third straight year, are trying to return to the state finals in Columbus for the first time since 2010.
To get to this point, Creekview had to survive what Cain said was one of the wildest endings to a game he had seen all year.
Down 3-0 going into the fifth inning of Game 1, Creekview got on the board with an RBI single by Ashley Chumbler.
Chumbler, who finished the game 3-for-4 with two RBIs, two steals and scored a run, then pulled the Lady Grizzlies within one when she scored off of a wild pitch.
Chumbler was at it again in the seventh as she drove in pinch-runner Madison Young with a single to send the game into extra innings.
In the bottom of the eighth, with the bases loaded and one out, Tiffany Godfrey hit a routine groundball to Lakeside pitcher Marie Collop.
After Collop threw home to catcher Ashleigh Dennis for a forceout, Dennis attempted to throw to first to get Godfrey out and end the inning, but the throw was too late.
On the throw, Anna Tankersley headed home from third and scored the game-winning run to complete the Lady Grizzlies' comeback and send the home fans into a frenzy.
Gracie Dorr, who gave up four hits and two earned runs while striking out eight, pitched all eight innings for Creekview.
In the second game of the night, third-seeded Lakeside (19-11) could find no answer for Creekview pitcher Madison Luck, who pitched a perfect game through the first six innings.
To make matters worse, Creekview's offense came alive, with Tankersley, Casee Disharoon, Godfrey and Luck all driving in runs.
Chumbler, who went 4-for-4 in the second game, was 7-for-8 for the doubleheader with two RBIs, five steals and scored four runs.
"Ashley has been our most consistent player all season," Cain said. "If I wanted anyone at the plate, it would be her."
Luck's perfect game was broken up by Dennis in the seventh, and she finished the night having only given up two hits and one earned run.
"Madison was lights-out (Wednesday)," Cain said. "Every pitch she threw was on target."

The 1895 pastel on board piece, which depicts a man holding his hand and screaming under a violent sky, is one of four versions of the painting and is the only one still in private hands.
The frame is hand-painted by Munch and is inscribed with a poem of his that describes anxiety, which inspired the painting.
The name of the buyer was not disclosed.
It was previously owned by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a friend and patron of Munch.
Proceeds from the sale of "The Scream" are going towards a new museum, art center and hotel in Norway, according to the Associated Press.
Another version of "The Scream" is in Norway's National Museum and the two other versions are in the Munch Museum in Oslo.
The previous record auction sale for an artwork was $106.5 million, for Pablo Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," which was sold by Christie's in 2010.

Last year, the Maryland General Assembly approved new boundaries for the state's congressional districts, based on the results of the 2010 U.S. Census.
This year, besides the eight congressional seats, the boundaries themselves are also before voters.
Opponents of the redistricting plan collected more than 60,000 signatures to get the issue on the ballot, which appears as Question 5.
If voters reject, Question 5, state lawmakers would be required to come up with new district boundaries in time for the 2014 elections.
Democratic leaders of the Maryland General Assembly says the districts reflect the population shifts in Maryland.
Senate President Mike Miller said the map approved last year is creates eight equal districts, and also protects the seniority of Maryland lawmakers.
Critics say the plan creates a lot of gerrymandering, and disproportionately large districts.
Tony Campbell, who heads "Repeal the Gerrymandering" which helped get Question 5 on the ballot, says one of the best examples of gerrymandering is the 3rd Congressional District.
The district includes parts of Baltimore City, and Baltimore County, as well as parts of Anne Arundel, Howard and Montgomery County. The district stretches from Owings Mills to Olney.
The plan also targets Republican Roscoe Bartlett for defeat, by adding sections of Montgomery County to his districts. The newly created district creates a majority of Democrats, and now Bartlett is in a close race against Democrat John Delaney.
Campbell, who is a Republican activist, says the changes to Bartlett's district, has also led to an expansion of the boundaries of the 1st Congressional District, which is now held by Republican Andy Harris. Under the current boundaries, Harris' district covers all or part of 12 counties. It includes the Eastern Shore, and parts of Harford, Baltimore and Carroll Counties.
The plan also has angered African American leaders in Prince George's County for moving some of their neighborhoods into a district that includes Anne Arundel County, an area that favors Republicans.
Campbell acknowledges it has been tough to get voters interested in this issue.
He says it takes some explaining.
"When you try to explain it to people, their eyes glaze over, and they kind of lose their mind," Campbell told WBAL News.
"The fact is that we got 60,000 valid signatures, because people saw the map and said 'are you kidding me?' "
Several Democratic county council members in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties have urged voters to reject Question 5. Comptroller Peter Franchot also recently called for the repeal.
Most Democrats, including, 3rd District Democratic Congressman John Sarbanes continue to defend the boundaries, even though he now has to campaign in Montgomery County, where he is not well known.
"What I like is they manager to keep about 70-percent of Marylanders in the same congressional district, which a lot of people don't realize, which is not an easy task, given all of the factors you have to consider," Sarbanes told WBAL News.
If voters reject, Question 5, lawmakers would have to create new boundaries in time for the 2014 election.
Campbell and Franchot both favor legislation to have an independent commission design the congressional boundaries.
Campbell says the independent commission is used in several other states, and would draw boundaries based on population, and not politics.
Official Ballot Language of Question 5
Establishes the boundaries for the State's eight United States Congressional Districts based on recent census figures, as required by the United States Constitution.

The hardware on your cabinets is great. And I love the beadboard look. We painted our cabinets this year and love the new look - the kind of paint you choose really makes a huge difference.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – If Tyler Moore was a building, he would be a thick skyscraper. If he was a tree, he would be a large-trunked live oak. If a car, think a big Cadillac.
You get the picture. Moore is tall (6-foot-5) and wide and carries his 312 pounds around like it's no big deal. He hopes to move around SEC defensive linemen next season in the same fashion.

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Series: But Does it Move? John Lennox on Science and the Bible
Taken from Chapter 2 of John Lennox's book Seven Days That Divide The World, this three part series looks at scripture interpretation. Lennox looks especially at the Galileo controversy regarding the movement of the Earth and why our own interpretations do not necessarily call into question the authority of the Scripture.
Series: The Genesis of Everything
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Below the Surface; Behind the Scene
In this video, Alister McGrath discusses the importance of going beyond surface readings, both in Scripture and in the natural world. The parable of the sower, for example, contains a far deeper meaning than a story of a man scattering seed.
Gaining Perspective
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the humility and openness we need to have before we approach Scripture.
God's Accommodation to Humans
According to Calvin, accommodation is a pedagogical tool that God employs to communicate to human beings. If God wishes to speak to us, he must bridge the gulf by descending into our world and speaking our language. In other words, God accommodates himself to our ability to comprehend.
A Pastor's Perspective on the Dangers of an Ultra-Literal Perspective
In this video Conversation, Greg Boyd notes that some believers conceive of their faith as a "house of cards"—where shifting one element will collapse the whole thing.
On Myth and Meaning
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
N.T. Wright on Understanding Ancient Texts
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
Stewards of God's (Changing?) World
Interestingly, I find this sort of cynicism about climate change especially prevalent among Christians. Why is this?
Reading Nature and Reading Scripture
I recently led a seminar on faith and science at a large Christian music festival in rural Illinois. One pugilistic gentleman bulldogged me all week, insisting that geologists and biologists were misguided and mistaken. "If evolution is right," he said, "then the Bible is wrong―about everything."
Comparing Interpretations of Genesis 1
For concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse to match the current scientific picture. For non-concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse that appears to disagree with science as figurative.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.

A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
Having insecure input and output, _in_addition_ to secure ones, is clearly desirable and good.
Let applications chose.
XDC2012: Graphics stack security
Posted Sep 27, 2012 13:42 UTC (Thu) by mupuf (guest, #86890) [Link]
It's like saying that applications should be able to decide if they want raw access to disks or not. Willing to do so is suicidal.
Posted Sep 27, 2012 14:50 UTC (Thu) by Siosm (subscriber, #86882) [Link]
If it's not enabled by default, nobody will use it because it won't get testing and bugs won't be fixed.
> By locking down applications we make them less useful.
Only a very limited set of applications has to be "locked down" in the Wayland/Weston case. Any "classic" application won't even notice the change.
> Think for instance what will happen if the Unix shell mandated integrity of input or confidentiality of output for all programs: pipes would be impossible.
This is hardly comparable. On a classic *nix system, you use different users to separate tasks which should not interact with each others. Communications channels between users (pipes...) must be explicitly created, most of the time by the most privileged user. Without MAC (Mandatory Access Control) there is no confinement between applications from the same user.
With GUI applications, everything runs under the same user, so we can not rely on user separation anymore. In the Wayland/Weston case, only explicit user controlled channels allow interactions between applications (drag&drop, copy&paste).
> Having insecure input and output, _in_addition_ to secure ones, is clearly desirable and good.
Again, people will naturally choose the easy way over the hard way.
In order to work, security has to be default built-in design feature which should make common operation easy, and control uncommon operations.
Posted Sep 28, 2012 10:34 UTC (Fri) by dgm (subscriber, #49227) [Link]
Sorry for the harsh words, but this is the LAMEST possible argument you could make. If it was useful for someone people would use it. If it's not used it's because it's not useful, so we're all better without it.
This strategy did not work all that well for GNOME, please do not repeat this mistake again.
> Only a very limited set of applications has to be "locked down" in the Wayland/Weston case. Any "classic" application won't even notice the change.
Nope, you got it wrong. Take virtual keyboards, for instance. Currently they are not possible in Wayland because it has been decided that the compositor should not touch input in any way, applications receive it directly from the kernel. This decision effectively locks down _all_ applications, even those for which input integrity is of no use.
> With GUI applications, everything runs under the same user
This does not need to be this way.
> Without MAC (Mandatory Access Control) there is no confinement between applications from the same user.
And that is, the ability to pass information between applications, is what makes them useful. What we need is a mechanism to confine _selected_ applications.
> Again, people will naturally choose the easy way over the hard way.
True. Also, people chose what works over what does not.
Posted Sep 28, 2012 21:54 UTC (Fri) by Cyberax (✭ supporter ✭, #52523) [Link]
And that's good. You can implement a virtual keyboard right way, by writing a CUSE driver. This way every app in the system will be able to access it. Or you can extend the compositor to do this.
Posted Oct 1, 2012 4:08 UTC (Mon) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198) [Link]
It may be lame but it's true, non-default options don't get as much testing as default options, especially in volunteer-tested software, the less-used code paths are more likely to be buggy. Sure, some people will use non-default config options but their experience may be sub-par because of it.
In any event, reasonable security options should be enabled by default. Imagine that something like password hashing were a non-default feature. What would happen is that most people would never turn it on and have plenty of bad things happen as a result. After the second or third time the security design problem bites them maybe they'd turn on the more secure feature but then would find themselves locked out of their system or some other horrible fate after which they'd find out that nobody turns the security feature on because it doesn't work. So then they'd just accept the additional risk of doing things in a more risky way that is likely to have a bad outcome because that's just the way things work.
It seems that this kind of scenario has played out many times over the years, like MS Windows putting people in the Administrators group to get around the entire permissions checking system. The Windows issue with the Administrators group and all the trouble that has caused over the years seems to be exactly the kind of thing they are trying to avoid.
Posted Oct 1, 2012 4:20 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
many security people fall into the trap where they consider security the most important thing. In the real world it isn't. Security is a matter of risk, and you have to balance risk vs benefit.
Posted Oct 4, 2012 7:39 UTC (Thu) by farnz (guest, #17727) [Link]
Have you a cite for that? My recollection, backed by the protocol spec is that the Wayland compositor is the only application that gets input directly from the kernel; everything else is notified of events by the compositor. This is essential if the compositor is to transform events in arbitrary fashion - how can a surface know where it is in kernel-global coordinates if the compositor is the only thing that knows about the arbitrary transform applied to it?
Posted Sep 27, 2012 22:18 UTC (Thu) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
Posted Sep 28, 2012 10:08 UTC (Fri) by dgm (subscriber, #49227) [Link]
And that's the point of my argument. Security has to be _possible_, but not _mandated_. With X11, right now, it's not possible. That is another way in which Wayland is an improvement over what we have right now.
That doesn't mean, though, that many more steps in that direction are equally as good. We should be careful to not overshoot.
Posted Oct 1, 2012 4:11 UTC (Mon) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198) [Link]
That is a very situational judgement on a technology by technology and setting by setting basis. There are often ways to organize things more securely without being a burden for the user.

Don't waste oil and plastic by using one of those 30 billion plastic water bottles that are consumed and thrown away every year – that is sooo 20th century! Instead get a water bottle that's not only biodegradable, but also compostable. Belu, a socially and environmentally friendly company makes just that. Demand it on your campus and put a major dent in your college's carbon footprint.
Dress to the nine's (or 3R's)

Sudan may suspend more pacts with South Sudan | |||||||||||||||||||||
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) -- Sudan's spy chief warns his country will suspend nine agreements reached earlier this year with South Sudan if it continues to support rebels fighting to topple the Khartoum government. Mohammed Atta al-Moula's comments come a day after Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir ordered the closure of pipelines exporting oil from South Sudan. Al-Moula held a rare news conference Sunday, saying that other agreements involving security and economic pacts would be suspended with South Sudan if the country does not halt its support of rebels in Sudan. He says shutting down the oil pipelines could take up two months, citing technical reasons. The delay suggests Khartoum is willing to give South Sudan time to resolve the dispute. South Sudan, which became independent of Khartoum in 2011, has denied supporting rebels. © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Request for Test Hardware SKP

• Page 1 of 1
Request for Test Hardware SKPI would like to create a file that tested the hardward of a computer. it would have scenes that gradually got more complex and the person would time the scene changes somehow..
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPKris - here's the "Crowd Test" skp file from the previous forum that is excellent for testing your puter, especially your video driver.
Sorry I can't remember who made it. cheers john http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/sas/CornerBar/Crowd_Test.skp
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPInteresting concept in testing hardware there Kris.
Some other programs you could use to test the efficiency of your hardware or how well the tweaks / overclock is working (benchmarking): Graphics Related Benchmarks: 1. Aquamark3 2. 3DMark 2001 SE 3. 3DMark03 4. 3DMark05 5. 3DMark06 CPU Related Benchmarks: 1. SuperPi Mod 1.4 (Millisecond) 2. PCMark®05 3. CrystalMark 2004 4. Cinebench 5. Sciencemark Benchmarking Utilities: 1. A64Tweaker (for AMD CPU's) 2. Clockgen 3. CPUZ 4. Central Brain Identifier 5. Sisoft Sandra 6. Everest Home Edition 7. Prime 95 (to test stability, generally 24 hours run without issues would be fine) 8. WCPUID 9. HDTach 10. HDtune 11. OCCT Perestroika (CPU / Memory stability test) 12. Memtest x86 (useful for finding out which memory modules could be faulty) Graphics Related Utilities: 1. RivaTuner 2. nVHardPage SE 3. ATI Tool 4. PowerStrip 5. RadLinker & RadClocker 6. NVTweak 7. TVTool 8. Rage3D Radeon Tweaker Hope this helps somewhat!
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPthats quite a list Juju... we should make those into links and sticky that in hardware...
John, interesting, I didn't know about that thread... I'll try the file out...
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPthe reason for this post is I have 3 computers now
1. AMD 1700+ Asus mobo (old box) 2. Intel Dual Core D805 P23G mobo 3. Intel Core Duo E4300 P23G for now, overclocking with new mobo soon. I want to test 1 file on each machine and then record the usability and then overclock the e4300 and record the effects on the test file. it would be nice if someone tested it on some Mac's and some newer AMD's
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPthat crowd is pretty sweet... I got to scene 9, and then noticed a little chopping, and by scene 11 it was getting a pretty laggy to orbit
Comp Spec: Intel pentium D 3.4 GHz (dual core) 2 GB Ram 256 MB ATI Radeon X600
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPgot to scene 7 ok, scene 8 would go into bounding box, but would refresh inmediatly after orbit, 9 the same, 10 some lag (about 2-5 seconds) and refresh, and 11, really choppy, even in bounding box mode.
macbook, core2 duo, 2 GHz, 1 GB ram 80 GB hdd
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPiMac 20" Core 2 Duo, 3Mb RAM, 128 Mb ATI RadeonX 1600
i would say it performed well overall: scene 9 would go into bounding box, but would refresh inmediatly after orbiting, 10 the same but a little choppy at orbiting, 11 some lag (about 2 seconds) edson mahfuz, architect

Re: Request for Test Hardware SKP That is quite surprising to me, since the Book doesn't even have a dedicated graphics card! Not bad at all. Kelly
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPmy under $1000 SU Computer did all scenes with out pause... sweet... but not as impressive a test as what I was looking for... but in the right spirt... maybe they should be 3D people
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPThe performance of this machine was one of the biggest selling points. Before buying it, I brought the viewer and a heavy scene to test it. It worked more than ok. I was sold. The integrated graphics are not bad at all, though i had to turn off fast feedback.
You have to consider that: a. the drivers for video, and pretty much everything else in macintosh machines are developed by apple. b. osx is very opengl dependent. all the fancy animations and effects are rendered in the video card. Apple wouldn´t settle for a video card (even an integrated one) with lousy performance, or else general os performance would suffer.
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPFrom my observation of the test on the other forum it appeared the video card was more important than the CPU or RAM. My previous machine was Laptop with a P4 3.2 intel with 1.5gig RAM but with a shared 128 ATI video card and it fell over at 7. But I noticed someone else with the same setup except a faster dedicated video card and it made it to 10.
I'm now on a core-duo 2.4 - 2gig ram and a 512 video driver (Nvidia 7950) for twin 19" LCDs and it goes all out to 11.
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPI have a clone pentium 4 2.99Ghz computer with an ati 128mb card and it flies through the slideshow! Utterly amazing!! Even just orbiting around, most of the peeps stay peepes, only the peeps in the background turn into boxes. The only time it slows down is when a file is on our server--which is all the time!
[Planner Dude]
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPI was going to add this suggestion on the "SU wish list" thread but I saw this. I was wishing that they would make a dedicated SU benchmark that tacks the computer and at the end would give you some sort of score just like 3Dmark or like the other benches mention earlier.
I am building a new machine now and I hope it will make SU fly, I do a bit of gaming...okay alot of gaming as well as Photoshop, music, picture and video editing . Here are the specs tell me what you think.

Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPDanny - I'm running 10,000rpm primary drive, it's only 80G but it's very fast, load and save etc. rip although it's a bit noisy
I think Sketchup has resolved the ATI driver problems but I'd check if I were you cheers john
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPHi John, I was going to go with a Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10,000rpm drive as a primary but I have a friend with one and although it is at 10,000rpm I really did not notice a true real world differance. Thanks for the heads up though.
My current rig is running an ATI X850XT Platinum Edition 512MB (almost 2yrs. old now) and have not had any issues with at all. I have read that a round here but I have never experianced it.
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPmacbook pro 15", 4 MB RAM, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
perfect up to scene 8, transitions became slightly choppy after that, bounding box from scene 9 but orbiting was fluent up to 11, refresh time very fast (a second or so) edson mahfuz, architect
http://www.mahfuz.arq.br Anyone can get you more for more, but it takes genius to get you more for less.
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPNow I'm a little confused. I've read alot on this forum about graphics cards and have been researching which one to get. However when I ran the crowd test, my computer flew through it without any problems, all 11 scenes. I'm running Vista on a HP, AMD 64x2 2.6 ghz,500 GB harddrive, 4 GB of RAM, with intergrated graphics, Nvidia GeForce 6150SE. Am I missing something or is the crowd test actually not a very good measure?
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPmike,
you are probably right. perhaps we need a more demanding file to test our machines. your setup is probably not as bad as you thought. not all computers would pass through it like yours did. edson mahfuz, architect
http://www.mahfuz.arq.br Anyone can get you more for more, but it takes genius to get you more for less.
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPIf you want a demanding file try the following:
http://www.mediamax.com/kennybkdy/Hoste ... 20file.zip I recently bought a new PC with the following specs: Windows XP 32 bit, 4GB RAM, Intel E6850 duo core processor, nVidia 6800GTX 768MB graphics card, 500GB hard drive. It's pretty fast but I was still a bit disappointed with the performance with the above file although I'm probably expecting too much. I'd be interested in how others find it. For info I timed it with the following tasks: Opening (at scene 13): 32secs Opening to being able to select a tool: 45secs Shadows on: 25secs Position camera with shadows on: 22secs Previous view after doing so: 25secs Orbiting with shadows: Moves almost instantly, is shaded but not textured and bounding boxes only on top windows, doors and car wheels. Let me know how you get on! Kenny
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPBoy Kenny that file of yours is a choker!
I came in about 35% behind your numbers. I'm running SU on a 17" 2.33ghz MBP w/ 1.5Gb RAM, ATI Radeon X1600. It's also a dual-boot system w/ OSX & XP Pro and have given both worlds a go and prefer to work in Windoze-land w/ SU as the performance is better and have more control over the GFX card's settings. One advantage that OSX has over XP is that it will export much higher res stills, which I use a lot. My projects are much smaller in scale compared to you, so I can get away with the MBP. But after doing these test today I may have to pickup a newer MBP w/ the nVidia GeForce 8600M GT card which from what I read is more geared to SU/CAD situations. I can't leave the OSX world entirely (too much invested in SW). REALLY nice model BTW!!!! [AgentUtah]
Re: Request for Test Hardware SKPkenny,
thanks for the file. i will give it a go as soon as i have a free time. edson mahfuz, architect

The British government flirted with the idea of restricting the public's access to the internet and social media in the wake of the riots that shook the nation. British officials met with representatives from Facebook, Twitter, and Blackberry on Thursday to discuss voluntary ways to limit social media access in the interest of preventing crime and civil and unrest.
Theresa May, the government's home minister said the purpose of the meetings were not to "discuss restricting Internet services," but to "crack down on the networks being used for criminal behavior." Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the government was exploring its options. "We're going to look at whether or not it might be right to do this." He assured the BBC "We are not going to become like Iran or China. We are not going to suddenly start cutting people off."
Iran, criticized by the West for impeding internet access and limiting free speech, seemed to relish Britain's identity crisis. The Tehranbased semi-unofficial Fars News Agency offered to "send a human rights delegation to Britain to study human rights violations in the country."
"You do not want to be on a list with the countries that have cracked down on social media during the Arab Spring," said Jo Glanville, the editor of Index on Censorship a magazine that promotes freedom of expression, stating that such actions could "undermine democracy."
A Facebook spokesperson said: "We welcome the fact that this was a dialogue about working together to keep people safe rather than about imposing new restrictions on internet services." The company stressed the positive role Facebook played during the riots, such as keeping people in contact and organizing cleanup events. "There is no place for illegal activity on Facebook and we take firm action against those who breach our rules," said the spokesperson.
Social media has also played an instrumental role in the Arab spring. It is the only bastion of free speech an emerging class of intelligent young people has access to and its message of free speech and liberty is the only narrative the Middle East has seen that is more powerful than that of Jihad against the West. Western governments should be encouraging a universal acceptance of social media and free communication, not attempting to limit it.
Google accused the Chinese government of disrupting its Gmail service in March. The NY Times reported cell phone calls that mentioned the word protest more than once were immediately disconnected. Hosni Mubarak attempted to shut down the internet during the revolution. If liberal western governments threaten to block internet access or dole out harsh sentences to young men for creating Facebook events it will set a disturbing example for the emerging world about the government's power over free speech.

President Barack Obama has signed H.R. 2715, enacting a law that will make it legal to sell youth off-highway vehicles again.
The bill amends the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 which barred the sale of items with lead components, a ban which had unintentionally included off-highway vehicles. The amendment, which was approved by both the House and the Senate on Aug. 1, exempts off-highway vehicles and allows the Consumer Product Safety Commission to grant exemptions to other products on a case-by-case basis.
"Federal legislators deserve a lot of thanks for their tireless efforts, especially U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and all the other lawmakers who supported an exemption," says Rob Dingman, AMA president and chief executive officer. "Hundreds of thousands of parents, kids and motorcycling club members responded to AMA calls for action to contact their elected officials and their efforts, along with all those volunteers who circulated petitions and took other actions, brought this issue to the attention of Congress and turned the tide in our favor."
The Motorcycle Industry Council, which represents manufacturers and distributors, echoed Dingman's response.
"For more than two years, the powersports industry and its riders have urged Congress to categorically exclude youth dirtbikes and ATVs from the CPSIA's lead content provisions," says Larry Little, chairman of the Motorcycle Industry Council Board of Directors. "We are gratified that our community's passion and perseverance have paid off and the ban on youth model OHVs is finally over."

A few quick ways to celebrate the holidays with Pittsburgh flair.
- Wendell August Forge and the Pittsburgh Penguins have teamed up again to produce a commemorative ornament from the roof of the former Civic Arena. This ornament honors the Stanley Cup legend in Pittsburgh. A great gift idea that honors multiple traditions.
- Construction Junction can recycle your Christmas lights. Don't throw them away if they don't work. Wrap them up, toss them in a tote bag and take them with you on your next trip to Point Breeze. Leave the tote, too.
- Buy a local tree. From the Urban Gardener to regional farmers, you can find a tree that's perfect for your home and keep your dollars local. Ask your neighbors, check your patch.com site or use Google.
- Green your gift wrap. American generate 5 millions tons of waste during the holiday season. The estimate is that we cut down 30 million trees to wrap our gifts. So consider a tote bag.There are many gorgeous bags you can purchase as wrapping AND an additional gift. Consider browsing Handmade Arcade this Saturday. Shop Etsy. Stop by a local crafting store. Or support a local business your recipient values. Or why not ask everyone to pitch in - bring your gifts in bags with festive bows & such, then gather up the bags to transport items home and donate to your neighbors?
- Green gifts. Here's a list of retailers in Pgh that carry green items.
- Gift cards. Consider electronic gift cards. (I would love if someone reloaded my Starbucks card!)
- You can find many suggestions for green decorating at Earth911.com
- Some general advice about "prepping" your packages and gifts to be greener when it all comes undone (Hint: use less tape)
In short, some advance planning to reduce our "stuff" use (less tape, less waste) and keeping our dollars local is a way to make the holidays black and gold and green.
What suggestion do you have?
The Pittsburgh Tote Bag Project collects new and gently used tote bags for distribution to the region's food pantries. We are a project of the Thomas Merton Center.

Since we cut back on numer of gifts, I'm just using up large rolls of wrapping paper that were bought several years ago on sale. Probably will have some left for next year too.
The key is storing these "leftovers" where you can easily find them so you don't go out and buy MORE! :-)

NE12Ukid you talk of cc and say you do not contradict yourself but in the poll about how much will you spend this Christmas you wrote:
Have you trimmed your spending because of the economy or has good fortune enabled you to spend more?
I am happily able to spend more this year. A few new decorations, a bit more in cash for the college students in the family, and one big ticket item for us!
Now you say you are cutting back. Which is it? or don't you remember? I remember my mother always saying "a liar has to have a good memory."
So true.
1:19 am on Sunday, December 9, 2012
Judge Judy says the same thing, so what?
Are you calling me a liar?
You'd better have proof, as you have none shown here.
Yes, I am happily spending more this year. Yes, I said that. It's a true statement.
And Yes, we have cut down on the NUMBER of gifts. I also said that, it's right in this thread. Also true.
that is not a contradiction, "Margaret".
What did your mother say about calling someone a liar when they did not lie? Doesn't such a false accusation make you a liar?
Apology in order, MARGARET!!!
How are YOU handling the gift wrapping this year? Any environmentally kind changes in YOUR habits, Margaret? Tried the tote bag ideas yet?
