The product should have never been marked as for commercial use of any kind as this is the only reason we purchased and spent $4229.73 on it. We also went back and forth for over 7 months with the company trying to resolve the issue and have an email trail we can provide to you. We have reached out to the company that sold us the floor as well as the specific vendor and opened a case claim for damages.

Depending on how many beads you put on each “rod,” your children can count by ones, twos, fives, tens, etc.Now, you’re ready to practice counting, adding and subtracting! When you have all of the stems in place, add more tape to reinforce the back. As you wrap each one, use tape to hold it in place on the back of the tray. Pull hard enough to straighten the stem, but not so hard that the tray tears. Gently wrap each stem on the tray into the slits on each side of the tray. These slits will help keep your chenille stems in place. Use scissors to cut very small slits where your pencil marks are. Make a mark at the left and right edges to show where each stem is placed. ![]() Next, place the styrofoam tray vertically in front of you and lay the stems horizontally on top with space between them (see photo). Kids will enjoy threading and counting the beads, but supervise younger children, especially if you are working with smaller beads. It’s best to place beads of the same colour on each stem.

If you’re a budding designer or someone interested in video game design, Steam has a lot of software for you to try out! You can expand your skillset or simply learn something new to pass the time. Most people can be unaware of the software they could acquire from Steam. Some of these items are rare and hard to find, so you better snatch them up quick! So make sure you get some Steam Gift Cards to load up your wallet. Steam has a Steam Community Market system implemented on their platform where users could sell any items or collectables they have gotten from their games for other users to purchase.Īs long as you’ve got some funds in your Steam Wallet, you’ll be able to purchase anything you’ve been eyeing for a long time. This is why Steam is the go-to platform for indie devs looking to make a name for themselves. Steam houses games from famous and indie developers alike, so you can find big-name games situated in between small, never-heard-of games as well. Who knows, you might find a game that you would enjoy for years to come! You can explore all the varying genres available and even try out new ones. Getting the Steam Gift Card could allow you to expand your gaming library. It’s a multifunctional and well thought out platform, and that’s what makes it a treasure amongst gamers. The platform houses all sorts of software and a user marketplace as well. Of course, games aren’t the only thing Steam has to offer. You would have access to Steam’s huge library of games of varying genres, it’s like gaming heaven for PC gamers. If you’re a PC user, getting the Steam Gift Card would be the best purchase you’ll ever make. ![]() ![]() ![]() Notebook layout view has its own simplified toolbar and offers a quick way to record audio notes, which are linked to the original Word document but can also be detached.įor business users, Microsoft has beefed-up Word's Track Changes feature, finally bringing it up to the level of the Windows version.

While the price is right, Entourage's various utilities are so thorough and well integrated that it puts Apple's efforts a distant second in quality. All in all, Outlook 2003 still offers more features (such as the ability to place voting buttons in messages) Entourage offers the core Exchange functionality but not all the extras Outlook users get.Įntourage's main competition comes from Apple's own Mail, Address Book, and iCal apps, which are preloaded on every new Mac. On the plus side, the program's Exchange (2000 and later) support now uses WebDAV. We like the quick view and easy navigation this setup affords. The app also gains a three-column view (as seen in Outlook 2003), with folders and shortcuts on the left, Inbox messages in the center, and the messages' contents on the right. After weeks of using Project Center while we lived with the new suite, we think that it's a big advance-and enough to make users of Office for Windows jealous.Įntourage gains other useful improvements, such as better spam filtering, which works at least as well as Apple Mail's filtering, plus a simple archiving system for saving old messages or schedules. Projects can even be shared with coworkers. When you're finished, everything relating to a project is stored in one central location. You can then name the project, assign a deadline, create tasks within it, and create links to all related notes, documents, and contacts. Simply click the Project Center button and then click to create a new project. The Project Center resides in Entourage (the suite's e-mail and calendaring app) but is accessible from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The centerpiece of the suite is the new Project Center, an exclusive (for now) feature that helps you organize both large and small projects. It is loaded with far more new features than will fit in this review, some of which bring it to up-to-date with the Windows version and others of which are Mac firsts. Thankfully, Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac has all the reasons we could ask for. When the previous Mac version of Microsoft Office came out, we were happy to see that the entire suite had been rewritten to run under Mac OS X but dismayed that beyond that there were no compelling reasons to upgrade.

It's worth noting that Porsche has designed this transmission to "learn" driver behavior and respond accordingly. ![]() But when left in automatic mode, with varying levels of throttle applied, it sometimes seemed to hesitate before choosing a gear. The transmission itself proved capable of delivering positive upshifts under full-throttle conditions, and when set in "Manual" mode, it would respond quickly to up- or downshift commands sent via the steering wheel switches or shifter movement. We're not sure if this behavior is turbo- or transmission-related (or a combination of both), but after trolling the Cayenne car discussions boards we found several owners who had visited their local dealer to have the drivetrain controller "reflashed" with positive results. The effect is more subtle than overt, but drivers used to the refined nature of an Acura, BMW or Infiniti will notice it. Sometimes forward motion comes after a slight delay, other times it comes on stronger than expected (or desired). Stomping on the throttle from a dead stop results in a half-second of tepid forward movement as the turbo spools up then bam! Like Anna Nicole after spotting a Krispy Kreme, the Cayenne Turbo somehow ignores its considerable heft and simply springs into action.Ī similar response occurs once the vehicle is in motion, though throttle response continued to be a notable issue for most drivers. The same turbocharged magic that makes the 911 one of the most exciting sports cars available for public consumption also works to create the world's most speed-crazed SUV. That extra 33 large nets a few more features, like bi-HID headlights that rotate with the steering wheel to better illuminate dark curves, a CD-based navigation system, heated front and rear seats and front and rear sonar systems to aid parking.īut let's be honest, the real reason to spring for the Cayenne Turbo is written in swooping letters across the vehicle's rear hatch: Turbo. And if you spring the extra 33,000 for a Turbo version, like our test model, you also get the Porsche Active Suspension Management system, an air suspension that can alter ride height and shock damping rates for a variety of driving circumstances. Of course, a few elements you might not normally associate with Porsche, such as a low-range transfer case and locking differentials, also make their appearance on the Cayenne. All the usual Porsche elements are in place here: sublime steering feel with near-telepathic feedback supreme chassis control, and the associated confidence that comes with it even the ability to rotate the rear end if desired (once you disable Porsche Stability Management by hitting the button at the top of the center stack). Such is the case with Porsche's top-dog SUV, a vehicle that is supremely capable of performance feats never before possible in a 5,200-pound, five-passenger, high-profile luxury vehicle. I'll leave the rest to your imagination, but I'm happy to say that the only disconcerting aspect of this particular application of power and speed was my wife's high-pitched voice shouting, "Slow down!" It only took a few moments, but a few moments of full-throttle application of the Turbo's 450 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque, especially when you're already going 65 mph, adds up to well, a lot. Then add in the chrome exhaust tips that were belting out a throaty V8 rumble a rumble that managed to pierce the Porsche's heat-insulated and laminated privacy glass, and it was clear this Torino was not just another aging Blue Oval product.īut pass the Torino I did, even after he'd gotten a head start by flooring it and rapidly shooting away from me at 65 mph. But consider the fact that this particular Torino had a custom paint job and aftermarket wheels that, added together, probably cost more than all the options on the Cayenne I was driving when added up (about 7,000). The Torino is a 35-year-old car that weighs approximately two tons (though, frightening as it is for me to report, that still gives the old Ford about a 1,200-pound weight advantage over Porsche's brand-new people mover). Passing a 1969 Ford Torino convertible while driving a Porsche Cayenne Turbo doesn't sound all that impressive. ![]() ![]() ![]() Before Redis 7.0.1 PUBLISH, SPUBLISH and PFCOUNT were not considered write commands in scripts.Read-only scripts and read-only script commands were introduced in Redis 7.0 Many clients also better support routing the read-only script commands to replicas for applications that want to use replicas for read scaling.They can be used to configure an ACL user to only be able to execute read-only scripts.In addition to the benefits provided by all read-only scripts, the read-only script commands have the following advantages: Currently PUBLISH, SPUBLISH and PFCOUNT are also considered write commands in scripts, because they could attempt to propagate commands to replicas and AOF file.They cannot execute any command that may modify the data set.They are not blocked during write pauses, such as those that occur during coordinated failovers.They never fail with OOM error when redis is over the memory limit.They can always be killed by the SCRIPT KILL command.They can always be executed on replicas.Read-only scripts can be executed either by adding the no-writes flag to the script or by executing the script with one of the read-only script command variants: EVAL_RO, EVALSHA_RO, or FCALL_RO. Read-only scriptsĪ read-only script is a script that only executes commands that don't modify any keys within Redis. However, if you intend to use a slow script in your application, be aware that all other clients are blocked and can't execute any command while it is running. It is not hard to create fast scripts because scripting's overhead is very low. Note that the potential downside of this blocking approach is that executing slow scripts is not a good idea. The blocking semantics of an executed script apply to all connected clients at all times. These semantics mean that all of the script's effects either have yet to happen or had already happened. The script's execution blocks all server activities during its entire time, similarly to the semantics of transactions. When running a script or a function, Redis guarantees its atomic execution. Please refer to the following pages for more information: In this case, loading a function to the database becomes an administrative deployment task (such as loading a Redis module, for example), which separates the script from the application. To use functions, they need to be loaded first, and then they are available for use by all connected clients. Secondly, added in v7.0, Redis Functions are essentially scripts that are first-class database elements.Īs such, functions decouple scripting from application logic and enable independent development, testing, and deployment of scripts. That is because scripts are only cached by the server and are volatile.Īs your application grows, this approach can become harder to develop and maintain. However, using them means that the scripted logic is a part of your application (not an extension of the Redis server).Įvery applicative instance that runs a script must have the script's source code readily available for loading at any time. Redis provides two means for running scripts.įirstly, and ever since Redis 2.6.0, the EVAL command enables running server-side scripts.Įval scripts provide a quick and straightforward way to have Redis run your scripts ad-hoc. Please refer to the Redis Lua API Reference page for complete documentation. Presently, Redis supports a single scripting engine, the Lua 5.1 interpreter. User scripts are executed in Redis by an embedded, sandboxed scripting engine. Such APIs can encapsulate business logic and maintain a data model across multiple keys and different data structures. In our case, scripts enable processing the data where it lives, a.k.a data locality.įurthermore, the responsible embedding of programmatic workflows in the Redis server can help in reducing network traffic and improving overall performance.ĭevelopers can use this capability for implementing robust, application-specific APIs. We refer to such pieces of logic as scripts. The term programmability in Redis means having the ability to execute arbitrary user-defined logic by the server. In many cases, these commands provide all the functionality that a developer requires for managing application data in Redis. ![]() Most the commands specialize at manipulating core data types in different ways. The language that Redis speaks consists of its commands. Redis is, by definition, a "domain-specific language for abstract data types". In Redis 6.2 and below, you use Lua scripting with the EVAL command to program the server. In Redis 7 and beyond, you can use Redis Functions to manage and run your scripts. Redis provides a programming interface that lets you execute custom scripts on the server itself. Extending Redis with Lua and Redis Functions ![]() |
