The Vishera Review: AMD FX-8350, FX-8320, FX-6300 and FX-4300 Tested
by Anand Lal Shimpi on October 23, 2012 12:00 AM ESTLast year's launch of AMD's FX processors was honestly disappointing. The Bulldozer CPU cores that were bundled into each Zambezi chip were hardly power efficient and in many areas couldn't significantly outperform AMD's previous generation platform. Look beyond the direct AMD comparison and the situation looked even worse. In our conclusion to last year's FX-8150 review I wrote the following:
"Single threaded performance is my biggest concern, and compared to Sandy Bridge there's a good 40-50% advantage the i5 2500K enjoys over the FX-8150. My hope is that future derivatives of the FX processor (perhaps based on Piledriver) will boast much more aggressive Turbo Core frequencies, which would do wonders at eating into that advantage."
The performance advantage that Intel enjoyed at the time was beyond what could be erased by a single generation. To make matters worse, before AMD could rev Bulldozer, Intel already began shipping Ivy Bridge - a part that not only increased performance but decreased power consumption as well. It's been a rough road for AMD over these past few years, but you have to give credit where it's due: we haven't seen AMD executing this consistently in quite a while. As promised we've now had multiple generations of each platform ship from AMD. Brazos had a mild update, Llano paved the way for Trinity which is now shipping, and around a year after Zambezi's launch we have Vishera: the Piledriver based AMD FX successor.
At a high level, Vishera swaps out the Bulldozer cores from Zambezi and replaces them with Piledriver. This is the same CPU core that is used in Trinity, but it's optimized for a very different purpose here in Vishera. While Trinity had to worry about working nicely in a laptop, Vishera is strictly a high-end desktop/workstation part. There's no on-die graphics for starters. Clock speeds and TDPs are also up compared to Trinity.
CPU Specification Comparison | ||||||||
CPU | Manufacturing Process | Cores | Transistor Count | Die Size | ||||
AMD Vishera 8C | 32nm | 8 | 1.2B | 315mm2 | ||||
AMD Zambezi 8C | 32nm | 8 | 1.2B | 315mm2 | ||||
Intel Ivy Bridge 4C | 22nm | 4 | 1.4B | 160mm2 | ||||
Intel Sandy Bridge E (6C) | 32nm | 6 | 2.27B | 435mm2 | ||||
Intel Sandy Bridge E (4C) | 32nm | 4 | 1.27B | 294mm2 | ||||
Intel Sandy Bridge 4C | 32nm | 4 | 1.16B | 216mm2 | ||||
Intel Lynnfield 4C | 45nm | 4 | 774M | 296mm2 | ||||
Intel Sandy Bridge 2C (GT1) | 32nm | 2 | 504M | 131mm2 | ||||
Intel Sandy Bridge 2C (GT2) | 32nm | 2 | 624M | 149mm2 |
Vishera is still built on the same 32nm GlobalFoundries SOI process as Zambezi, which means there isn't much room for additional architectural complexity without ballooning die area, and not a whole lot of hope for significantly decreasing power consumption. As a fabless semiconductor manufacturer, AMD is now at GF's mercy when it comes to moving process technology forward. It simply has to make 32nm work for now. Piledriver is a light evolution over Bulldozer, so there's actually no substantial increase in die area compared to the previous generation. Cache sizes remain the same as well, which keeps everything roughly the same. These chips are obviously much larger than Intel's 22nm Ivy Bridge parts, but Intel has a full node advantage there which enables that.
Piledriver is a bit more power efficient than Bulldozer, which enables AMD to drive Vishera's frequency up while remaining in the same thermal envelope as Zambezi. The new lineup is in the table below:
CPU Specification Comparison | ||||||||||
Processor | Codename | Cores | Clock Speed | Max Turbo | L2/L3 Cache | TDP | Price | |||
AMD FX-8350 | Vishera | 8 | 4.0GHz | 4.2GHz | 8MB/8MB | 125W | $199 | |||
AMD FX-8150 | Zambezi | 8 | 3.6GHz | 4.2GHz | 8MB/8MB | 125W | $183 | |||
AMD FX-8320 | Vishera | 8 | 3.5GHz | 4.0GHz | 8MB/8MB | 125W | $169 | |||
AMD FX-8120 | Zambezi | 8 | 3.1GHz | 4.0GHz | 8MB/8MB | 125W | $153 | |||
AMD FX-6300 | Vishera | 6 | 3.5GHz | 4.1GHz | 6MB/8MB | 95W | $132 | |||
AMD FX-6100 | Zambezi | 6 | 3.3GHz | 3.9GHz | 6MB/8MB | 95W | $112 | |||
AMD FX-4300 | Vishera | 4 | 3.8GHz | 4.0GHz | 4MB/4MB | 95W | $122 | |||
AMD FX-4100 | Zambezi | 4 | 3.6GHz | 3.8GHz | 4MB/4MB | 95W | $101 |
The table above says it all. TDPs haven't changed, cache sizes haven't changed and neither have core counts. Across the board Vishera ships at higher base frequencies than the equivalent Zambezi part, but without increasing max turbo frequency (in the case of the 8-core parts). The 6 and 4 core versions get boosts to both sides, without increasing TDP. In our Trinity notebook review I called the new CPU core Bulldozed Tuned. The table above supports that characterization.
It's also important to note that AMD's pricing this time around is far more sensible. While the FX-8150 debuted at $245, the 8350 drops that price to $199 putting it around $40 less than the Core i5 3570K. The chart below shows where AMD expects all of these CPUs to do battle:
AMD's targets are similar to what they were last time: Intel's Core i5 and below. All of the FX processors remain unlocked and ship fully featured with hardware AES acceleration enabled. Most Socket-AM3+ motherboards on the market today should support the new parts with nothing more than a BIOS update. In fact, I used the same ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard I used last year (with a much newer BIOS) for today's review:

It doesn't matter if something is multithreaded or not. If it doesn't use more than 4 threads Intel's Single threaded advantage still holds.
Only until you fully saturate the 8threads does the AMD, maybe, pull ever so slightly ahead. Even sometimes there it falls way behind.
If the amount of threads your software is asking is equal to the amount of cores your Core I7,5,3 has the Intel is spanking AMD. Only if the amount of cores DOUBLES intel's is the AMD maybe winning alittle bit. Reply -

Indeed, reading a lot of comments over the past 18 months you would think AMD were still pushing their old K6-2 CPUS from the turn of the century.
Build a AMD machine or an Intel one and average Joe Customer isn't going to notice.

We've heard all of this before, and while much of what you say is true, and ignoring the idiotic "Windoze" comments not to mention the tirade on "evil Intel", Anand sums it up quite clearly:
Vishera performance isn't terrible but it's not great either. It can beat Intel in a few specific workloads (which very few people will ever run consistently), but in common workloads (lightly threaded) it falls behind by a large margin. All of this would be fine, were it not for the fact that Vishera basically sucks down a lot of power in comparison to Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge. Yes, that's right: even at 32nm with Sandy Bridge, Intel beats Vishera hands down.
If we assume Anand's AMD platform is a bit heavy on power use by 15W (which seems kind as it's probably more like 5-10W extra at most), then we have idle power slightly in Intel's favor but load power favors Intel by 80W. 80W in this case is 80% more power than the Intel platform, which means AMD is basically using a lot more energy just to keep up (and the Sandy Bridge i5-2500K uses about 70W less).
So go ahead and "save" all that money with your performance-for-dollar champion where you spend $200 on the CPU, $125 on the motherboard (because you still need a good motherboard, not some piece of crap), coming to $325 total for the core platform. Intel i5-3570K goes for $220 most of the time (e.g. Amazon), but you can snag it for just $190 (plus $10 shipping) from MicroCenter right now. As for motherboards, a decent Z77 motherboard will also set you back around $125.
So if we go with a higher class Intel motherboard, pay Newegg pricing on all parts, and go with a cheaper (lower class) AMD motherboard, we're basically talking $220 for the FX-8350 (price gouging by Newegg), $90 for a mediocre Biostar 970 chipset motherboard, and a total of $310. If we go Intel it's $230 for the i5-3570K, and let's go nuts and get the $150 Gigabyte board, bringing us to $380. You save $70 in that case (which is already seriously biased since we're talking high-end Gigabyte vs. mainstream Biostar).
Now, let's just go with power use of 60W Intel vs. 70W AMD, and if you never push the CPUs you only would spend about $8.75 extra per year leaving the systems on 24/7. Turn them off most of the day (8 hours per day use) and we're at less than $3 difference in power costs per year. Okay, fine, but why get a $200+ CPU if you're going to be idle and power off 2/3 of the day?
Let's say you're an enthusiast (which Beenthere obviously tries to be, even with the heavy AMD bias), so you're playing games, downloading files, and doing other complex stuff where your PC is on all the time. Hell, maybe you're even running Linux with a server on the system, so it's both loaded moderately to heavily and powered on 24/7! That's awesome, because now the AMD system uses 80W more power per day, which comes out to $70 in additional power costs per year. Oops. All of your "best performance-for-the-dollar" make believe talk goes out the window.
Even the areas where AMD leads (e.g. x264), they do so by a small to moderate margin but use almost twice as much power. x264 is 26% faster on the FX-8350 compared to i5-3570K, but if you keep your system for even two years you could buy the i7-3770K (FX is only 3% faster in that case) and you'd come out ahead in terms of overall cost.
The only reason to get the AMD platform is if you run a specific workload where AMD is faster (e.g. x264), or if you're going budget and buying the FX-4300 and you don't need performance. Or if you're a bleeding heart liberal with some missing brain cells that thinks that support one gigantic corporation (AMD) makes you a good person while supporting another even more gigantic corporation (Intel) makes you bad. Let's not use products from any of the largest corporations in the world in that case, because every one of them is "evil and law violating" to some extent. Personally, I'm going to continue shopping at Walmart and using Intel CPUs until/unless something clearly better comes along. Reply -

I would also add in the cost of getting a 100W more powerful power supply. (At least)
The cost of the better cooling (either via better/more fans or better case), And the 'cost' of having a system with a higher noise profile. Reply -

That talk suffers from the same inability to consider any other viewpoint but that of the hardware fetishist.
If you are fapping to benchmarks in your free time you are the 1%.
The other 99% couldn't care less which company produced their CPU, GPU or whatever is working the "magic" inside their PC. Reply -

I agree with you but stopped reading at "uses 80W more power per day" because you have ruined your trustworthyness with unit fail. Reply -

Hey idiot, he got everything correct except saying 80W more every second of the day, and suddenly, you the brilliant critic, no doubt, discount everything else.
Well guess what genius - if you can detect an error, and that's all you got, HE IS LARGELY CORRECT, AND EVEN CORRECT ON THE POINT concerning the unit error you criticized.
So who the gigantic FOOL is that completely ruined their own credibility by being such a moronic freaking idiot parrot, that no one should pay attention to ?
Here's a news flash for all you skum sucking doofuses : Just because someone gets some minor grammatical or speech perfection issue written improperly, THEY DON'T LOSE A DAMN THING AND CERTAINLY NOT CREDIBILITY WHEN YOU FRIKKIN RETARDS CANNOT PROVE A SINGLE POINT OF THE MANY MADE INCORRECT !
It really would be nice if you babbling idiots stopped doing it. but you do it because it's stupid, it's irritating, it's incorrect, and you've seen a hundred other jerk offs like ourself pull that crap, and you just cannot resist, because that's all you've got, right ?

Current Liabilities
Definition of 'Current Liabilities'A company's debts or obligations that are due within one year. Current liabilities appear on the company's balance sheet and include short term debt, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other debts. |
Investopedia explains 'Current Liabilities'Essentially, these are bills that are due to creditors and suppliers within a short period of time. Normally, companies withdraw or cash current assets in order to pay their current liabilities.Analysts and creditors will often use the current ratio, (which divides current assets by liabilities), or the quick ratio, (which divides current assets minus inventories by current liabilities), to determine whether a company has the ability to pay off its current liabilities. |

Oscar Pistorius will make history by becoming the first double amputee to compete on the track at the Olympic Games after he was chosen to run in the 400 metres and 4x400m relay in London.
Speaking exclusively to Sportsmail, Pistorius said he 'never gave up hope' of achieving his dream, despite narrowly missing out on clocking the 'A' standard for a second time this year.
The Blade Runner, who had both legs amputated below the knee when he was just 11 months old, will also defend his titles in the T44 100m, 200m and 400m at the Paralympic Games later this summer.
Going for gold: Oscar Pistorius will compete in the men's 4x400m relay
'The Olympics is a phenomenal competition and just to be there is a privilege,' he said, 'but I don't just want to get there and feel, ''I've made the Olympics. That's awesome".
'You don't always look at whether you can win a medal or make a final, but just what you do at that time is the best you can do. Then I'll be content. I also want my country to do well and I know they will do better because I'm in that relay team.'
Pistorius, 25, appeared to have missed out on an unprecedented Olympic and Paralympic double when he ran 45.52sec outside the 45.30sec 'A' standard last week. But he was still selected for the relay team after his 45.20 run in March, which made him eligible to be chosen in the individual event as well.
Walking tall: 'Blade Runner' Pistorius will return to the track for real in London
Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius (born 22 November 1986) is a South African sprint runner. Known as the "Blade Runner" and "the fastest man on no legs", Pistorius, who has a double amputation, is the world record holder for sport class T44 in the 100, 200 and 400 metres events and runs with the aid of Cheetah Flex-Foot carbon fibre transtibial artificial limbs by Ossur.
In 2007, Pistorius took part in his first international competitions for able-bodied athletes. However, his artificial lower legs, while enabling him to compete, have generated claims that he has an unfair advantage over able-bodied runners. The same year, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) amended its competition rules to ban the use of "any technical device that incorporates springs, wheels or any other element that provides a user with an advantage over another athlete not using such a device". The federation claimed that the amendment was not specifically aimed at Pistorius. After monitoring his track performances and carrying out tests, scientists took the view that Pistorius enjoyed considerable advantages over athletes without prosthetic limbs. On the strength of these findings, on 14 January 2008 the IAAF ruled him ineligible for competitions conducted under its rules, including the 2008 Summer Olympics. This decision was reversed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 16 May 2008, the Court ruling overall there was no evidence that Pistorius had any net advantage over able-bodied athletes.
Ready for action: Pistorius will also compete in the individual event despite falling short of the time
The South African, who runs on carbon-fibre blades, won an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in May 2008 that left him free to compete for a place at the Olympics.
Ready for action: Pistorius will also compete in the individual event despite falling short of the time
Pistorius said: 'It's a privilege to have an opportunity to perform at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London. I wanted to compete in the Olympics because it's a reflection of my ranking in the world. It's a reward for any athlete, after years of training, to progress to a competition like that.
'I care about the integrity of my sport. I'm blessed to have respect from the guys I compete against and I give them the same amount of respect. I'm so excited about the next few weeks of competition.'
Gideon Sam, president of the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, insisted Pistorius was selected on merit and not simply for the chance to rewrite the record books.
He said: 'As I have said many times, we are not taking passengers to London. Everyone has met selection criteria and are genuine Olympic Games material, either now or for 2016. I wish them all the best.'

Last year, Patrick Gibson started taking running very seriously, committing himself to a running lifestyle to maximize his success on the course.
The result was a Class 2A boys' cross country state title.
This year, he wanted to have a little more fun.
"I realized that this is still a high school sport, and the most important thing is to have fun," Gibson said in a phone interview. "I really wanted to focus on enjoying myself."
Of course, the best way to enjoy yourself is to win, and that's exactly what Gibson did again on Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco, claiming his second consecutive state title with a time of 15 minutes, 13.6 seconds.
For the second straight year he topped Aberdeen's Poli Baltazar, this time by only three seconds, even though Gibson's time was more than 15 seconds faster than his winning time as a junior.
"It was eerily similar to last year," Gibson said. "The only thing that was different is Poli and I didn't have Marcus Dickson (who graduated from White River after last year) as a factor."
Like last year, Gibson needed every ounce of determination he could muster to work past Baltazar and then hold him off for the title.
"I knew that Poli wanted to take the race out fast," Gibson said. "I figured that would be fine. I'd just stick with him and I wouldn't have to do all the work, which was nice. There were about three guys with us, but at about 2 miles, they fell apart, and I just wanted to stay with Poli and see if I couldn't get him in that last 200 or 300 meters or so."
Gibson said it was at about the 300-meters-to-go mark that he caught and passed Baltazar and pulled away for the win.
"It was almost exactly at the same point I did it last year," Gibson said.
But this time, it was perhaps a little more fun, because Gibson got to share the podium with his teammates, who placed third behind Sehome and Bellingham.
"It's always better to win," Gibson said. "But win or lose, my whole goal today was just to have fun and enjoy the race and the experience. I was just happy to be there."

I covered the aftermath of an earthquake years ago as a new-comer to the business. I was living in Rome and we had felt the quake as it struck a moutainous region of Southern Italy just before 8 o'clock on a Sunday evening in November.
It was first light by the time we got to the village of Balvano. As, I drove down into the valley, the village was blanketed by cloud. There was no sound, there were no lights but as we passed through the cloud, we became aware of an awful noise – the terrible wailing of the survivors.
Did my pictures convey the horror of it all like the ones we are seeing from China? Did they eloquently tell the story of the men, women and children of the village crushed when the roof of the Third Century Roman church fell in on them? No, I blew it. I was so completely overwhelmed by the scale of the suffering, by the death, destruction and misery that I blew it. Never having experienced anything remotely like it, I felt a complete interloper ashamed to be pointing a camera at people who had lost everything.
When I finally got to sleep my nightmares were full of people but my pictures were not. They showed wreckage and desolation but failed to give it a face. In the misguided belief that I needed somehow protect what shreds of dignity the victims had left by not exposing them to wider scrutiny, I not only completely missed the point of my being there but also let them down.
Luckily, for me I was disabused, while there was still time to redeem myself, by veteran UPI (ultimately Reuters) photographer Luciano Mellace who, in the middle of all the chaos, took me under his wing and set me straight. He is still doing it.

Summer Fireplace Decor Ideas
8 Ways to Style a Summer Fireplace
There's hardly ever an occasion to light a fireplace during the Summer months, but that's no reason to ignore this focal point of your living room. Instead of dreaming about a crackling fire in the Autumn season, make the most of your fireplace in this current season with these tips.
- Just add flowers. Use oversized vases as focal points both on the mantel and in the fireplace itself. Layer them with your favorite and freshest Summer blooms, from sunflowers to zinnias to dahlias.
- Upgrade your andirons. The horizontal bars used to lay logs, andirons can be a design focal point if you choose carefully. We love these Brass Andirons ($2,240), which provide a glow all on their own.
- Think differently about your firewood. Instead of laying out firewood as if you were about to strike a match, try stacking it vertically, horizontally, or in patterns to create something that's more visually interesting. After all, you're not about to light a fire! Make the wood work for you visually instead of producing heat.
- Try adding something unexpected to the grate and hearth. Stack plants in front of the grate, or clean the grate and stack suitcases or books.
- Add a summery fire screen. Create a folding fireplace screen to block the grate. Try wallpapering it with your new favorite wallpaper pattern, like the Olympics-appropriate Londinium Wallpaper ($70 a roll).
Keep reading for three more ideas to style a Summer fireplace
- Clear old decor from your fireplace mantel and use it as a place to showcase souvenirs from your Summer travels and adventures. New decor coffee table books, a beautiful ceramic vase from a flea market trip, or a collection of agates from a rafting trip are all great ways to showcase your personal Summer style. You can also use the sea as your guide. Add shells, smooth sea glass, and glass nautical floats to your fireplace
- Lighten up your firewood box. Try using a woven basket, like this West Elm Oversized Pattern Basket ($129) instead of a hefty wooden box.
- Rearrange. One inspired idea we found on Pinterest was to simply push the sofa against the fireplace, and rearrange the living room seasonally. If you don't want to take the time to style the fireplace, rearranging furniture is a great option!

FORT WAYNE – Some of the top boys basketball players in the Midwest are returning to Fort Wayne, and this time, fans can watch the action on the Internet.
Part of the 19th annual Bill Hensley Memorial Run-N-Slam All-Star Classic at Spiece Fieldhouse and other city gyms this weekend will be shown on www.gymratsbasketball.tv. The Sunday semifinals and finals of the gold brackets will be filmed and shown later on the website.
The tournament is named after Bill Hensley, the founder of Gym Rats Basketball and the co-founder of Spiece Fieldhouse. It is billed as one of the higher-profile events of its kind in Indiana.
This is my favorite event we do all year, Gym Rats director Todd Hensley said. It gives us an opportunity to pay respect to Bill and his long-lasting positive influence on young athletes.
Games will begin tonight at several gyms around Fort Wayne – including the main venue at Spiece Fieldhouse – and will culminate with the championships Sunday.
And there could definitely be some stars wanting their close-ups Sunday.
Its some of the best basketball you can see in the Midwest, Hensley said.
Highlighted by ESPNs No. 1 player in the nation in the 2013 class, Chicago Simeons Jabari Parker, some of the teams are loaded with talented players. Parker, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward, has yet to make a decision among suitors that include Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State and North Carolina.

Sixty kids from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina came this summer to "Banana Island", a magical place nestled in Boracko Lake with a time machine where Biblical characters visited. A place where games were played, challenges overcome, new skills learned and where we went "bananas" for God.
We split into six groups that were also workshops: Banana Artists, Banana Adventurers, Banana Reporters, Banana Sport, Banana Warriors (spiritual warriors, of course), and Banana Drama and Dance.
The last night of camp each group shared what they had learned during the week.
The Banana Artists had an exhibition of their pictures and plaster masks they had created. The Banana Drama and Dance group showed us a drama called Ashton and a dance to the song Our God is an Awesome God. The Banana sport group showed some field hockey maneuvers they had practiced. They had also organized a volleyball tournament with water balloon thrown by towels during the week. The Banana Adventurers showed us some rope knots they had learned and they also organized an iron-man type game for all the groups. The Banana Warriors helped out during worship and made the armor of God (Ephesians 6) out of aluminum foil and paper plates. Banana Reporters made a daily video report (7 day banana TV station) as well as a newspaper (Banana Page). They also made a panel of different photos they had taken.
Visitors from the Bible included Noah, Gideon, Elijah, Zacchaeus and Mary Magdalene. They shared their experiences how God changed their lives and they went "bananas" for Him.
The camp went for five days and as always good bye was difficult and tearful, but as for us, leaders we were excited to see all the things God can do when we give ourselves to Him.
Something we would like to especially emphasize is a 7 year old Muslim boy saying to his parents that before camp he thought that there was no God because of all the bad things happening in the world, but now that he knows that God exists. Also, he is trying to convince his much older brother to come to the youth camp telling how wonderful experience that will be for him. Amazing!!!

Dallas Cowboys vs. Cincinnati Bengals Preview and Predictions
Tony Romo and Dez Bryant. Andy Dalton and A.J. Green.
Which defense is able to stop the opposing quarterback/wide receiver duo will go a long way in determining the outcome of this game. While Green has been one of the most dynamic young playmakers in the league from the moment he was drafted, Bryant is finally living up to the promise many saw in him when the Cowboys drafted him back in 2010.
You have to think the Bengals defense gets the nod here when it comes to breaking down which unit has been playing better. The Bengals defensive coordinator may not get the face time his Dallas counterpart Rob Ryan gets on television broadcasts, but the Bengals are the more fundamentally sound unit overall.
Now, some of that has to do with injuries, no doubt. But Ryan's group keeps giving up big chunks of real estate on the ground and had been unable to play the press-man coverage outside as effectively as they would like. This has caused Ryan to go back to a bunch of Cover 3 and Cover 2 calls and left wide receivers running open on intermediate routes across the middle of their zones.
In the video above, we look at this and some of the other major storylines surrounding this game as well as give our predictions for the game.
Let us know in the comments below what you'll be watching for and who you think comes away with a big late-season victory.

Senior Class Gift totals over $24,000
By Abbie Kouzmanoff, The Dartmouth Staff
Published on Saturday, June 9, 2012
The 2012 Senior Class Gift campaign, which provides financial aid to the incoming freshman class, raised over $24,000 through student contributions with 80 percent of seniors participating, according to the Senior Class Gift interns. The sum is largely due to the more than 200 "leadership gifts," which are donations of $50 or more, Senior Class Gift intern Rachel Siegel '12 said. "We're pushing the $50 dollar gift, which comes with a professional 'padfolio' from the 1769 Society, and then we're pushing the $20.12 gift for class unity," Siegel said. "In the past, the push has been for participation — like everyone gives one dollar. This year we're going for the total dollar amount." A leadership gift also entered the donor into the 1769 Society, which gives them an invitation to return during Homecoming for a reception to meet the Class of 2016 scholars they supported, according to senior class gift intern Perry Bradford '12. A matching program organized by the Class of 1962 gives students another incentive to donate generously, Siegel said. The "Dollar-for-Dollar and Scholar-for-Scholar" challenge ensures that every donation has three times the impact. "For every dollar that is donated by a '12, the Class of 1962 matches that, and then for every scholar that we endow, which is $1,000 dollars [in aid], the Class of 1962 matches that again," she said. "So basically $1,000 dollars becomes $3,000." The 2012 Senior Class Gift campaign raised $72,697 to support 72 scholars in the Class of 2016, and achieved an 80 percent participation rate, which is slightly less than previous years, in which 80 to 99 percent of seniors donated, Bradford said. This year's endeavor had 85 volunteers, which exceeded that of campaigns in recent years, Siegel said. "People are just really enthusiastic about Dartmouth, and that's really great to see — we have a greater depth of involvement than ever before, "she said. The purpose of the Senior Class Gift is to educate the senior class on the importance of philanthropy, Bradford said. "I think it's important because everyone's experience at Dartmouth may not be perfect, but in different ways we've all gained something out of being at this institution," she said. "Whether it's growing into your personal character, getting a job or networking, everyone has something that they can take away from this experience. I think it's showing that you care about the students who cannot necessarily get here on their own without the support of financial aid." Siegel said that the gift is a gesture of senior class unity, in addition to a source of financial aid for the incoming class. "First and foremost it's your first chance to give back to the institution of Dartmouth and to say thank you for everything that this college has been to you and given you," she said. "It's a great way to reflect on your Dartmouth experience — to take the time to have that introspective moment about what you've gained and what it means to you." The Senior Class Gift also helps to form and maintain a strong alumni connection and network, Siegel said. "I think more so than most other colleges, Dartmouth inspires a passion in its former students for the institution that you really don't see anywhere else," Siegel said. "I thought that was definitely something that I wanted to be a part of, in helping members of the '12 class achieve that." Bradford also said that the Senior Class Gift helps strengthen young graduates' connection to Dartmouth. "To me it's not necessarily just about the money," she said. "It's more about showing the incoming class what the Dartmouth family is. It's about supporting and giving the experience back to them, regardless if they do service work or whatever it may be. It's allowing them to come here and grow."

Planning a meal online usually goes something like this: Scan for something appealing on Google 'till you realize that's a losing game, then head to your favorite online food magazines and blogs. Then you bookmark, copy URLs -- and maybe even email friends for a consensus. It's a quicker process than searching through cookbooks, but a group of former Yahoo execs saw an easier path: a recipe search engine synced up with Facebook.

A review of InfoMagic's December 1994 Release
You can find everything you need, whether you're using or installing Linux for the first time or you know the ropes like a veteran. For the proto-Linuxer, the distribution comes complete with a 28-page, CD-sized, Quick Start Guide which is based on Matt Welsh's Linux Installation HOWTO. The three CD-ROMs are packed full of up-to-date Linux distributions, documentation, source code and even a "live" file system you can run your system from. The aptly named "Developer's Resource" is a great value.
InfoMagic delivers three CD-ROMs full of Linux and Linux-related software with their latest offering, the December-pressed Linux Developer's Resource.
The first disc comprises the on-line documentation (HOWTOs), DOS utilities, and InfoMagic's large collection of Linux distributions. They provide JE-0.9.3 (Japanese Extensions to Linux), MCC-1.0+, Slackware-2.1.0, SLS-1.06, TAMU-1.0D, and BOGUS-1.0.1. Some of these distributions aren't as up-to-date as others, particularly the smaller ones such as MCC and TAMU, but that is simply because they haven't been updated recently, not because InfoMagic is shipping stale software. Other directories on this disc contain a DOS-based installation program and a copy of Microsoft's Multimedia Viewer with the HOWTOs compiled just for it.
On the second disc you'll find mirrors of the SunSite Linux FTP archive (ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux), Alan Cox's Linux networking archive (ftp://sunacm.swan.ac.uk/pub/misc/Linux/Networking), and the "live" file system, which is a fully unpacked copy of the Slackware 2.1.0 distribution. In theory, and with a suitably fast CD-ROM drive, you should be able to run off of the "live" file system on this disc and a small root partition on your hard drive. Since InfoMagic can't know which packages you wish to use from the CD, it is up to you to set up the "link farm" on your root partition which points to directories on the disc (i.e. ln -s /cdrom/live/usr/local /usr/local ).
The last disc contains copies of the tsx-11 Linux FTP archive (ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux), the official Linux kernel archive up to and including kernel version 1.1.72 (ftp://ftp.cs.helsinki.fi/pub/Software/Linux/Kernel) and the Free Software Foundation FTP archive (ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu). To avoid keeping redundant copies of the XFree86 X Window System with both the tsx-11 and SunSite directories, InfoMagic has chosen to split this large component out into its own directory. Releases 2.1.0, 2.1.1, and 3.1 are available.
Also on the last disc are the Debian-0.91 distribution; Japanese HOWTO documents; the Wine Microsoft Windows emulator archive; a Scheme interpreter; and the Oberon system, an object oriented programming and operating environment. There are also some demos of commercial products: the Unix Cockpit, an X-based file manager and Executor, a Macintosh emulator which runs under Linux (or doesn't - Executor doesn't seem to work under 1.1.x Linux kernels, which prevented me from testing it). There is also FlagShip, a CA/Clipper-like development system, and a self-described "early demo" of a commercial BBS system for Linux, called Zbbs.
This distribution has everything you need, whether you're installing Linux for the first time or you know the ropes like a veteran and want to update your system. There's plenty of documentation in all sorts of formats, from the easily printed to the easily browsed. The handy Quick Start Guide is an excellent primer for the novice Linux user. It covers such important topics as device naming, drive partitioning, and file system creation. When coupled with InfoMagic's wide array of Linux distributions, you've got everything you need to install Linux on your PC.
I find that distributions like this make for excellent emergency backup media. They contain recent copies of all of the major Linux distributions (pick your favorite) as well as more recent stuff which you can cull from the Linux and GNU sources on discs 2 and 3 and compile for yourself. If you're interested at all in Unix or are a code junkie like myself, this is the package for you.
I've been using Linux for about two years and have it installed on my PC at home. I've got two hard drives on my system, an IDE drive where I keep all of my DOS and Windows stuff, and a larger SCSI drive that I use for Linux. To test drive the Developer's Resource, I decided that I'd clear out two non-essential partitions from my Linux disk and install a couple of different distributions in their stead. I backed up the old partitions with my tape drive and got down to work.
I had enough room for a single 185 MB partition on which I could install a distribution. With this amount of disk space I knew I could install plenty of software, but I'd need to pick and choose to some degree because the distributions I was looking at are pretty large.
Because I'd tried it once before with an earlier InfoMagic release, I decided to first install Slackware on my newly-unified ext2fs partition. I figured I'd probably be able to get a full system up and running in an hour or so. I wasn't disappointed. I was able to put together a boot/rootdisk combination for my system in about five or ten minutes, most of this time taken up by the writing of the disk images to floppies. I popped in the boot floppy, rebooted, and got down to business. Using the colortty rootdisk, I was greeted with nice looking color dialog boxes which make the installation procedure look very professional.
Slackware's setup routine found the existing swap and ext2fs file systems on my SCSI hard drive. I told it to ignore the ones I didn't want to touch (the /, /usr, and /usr/local of my pre-existing system) and to use the new partition I had set up as its root file system. My MS-DOS file systems were also found and I added these to the file system table without a hitch, even though I wanted them mounted as /dos/c , /dos/d , and /dos/e which is a bit out of the ordinary.
I then installed all of the packages I was interested in (just about all of them) and rebooted. My system came up right away and I was able to log in as root and add myself as a user to the system. One thing I noticed after the installation was that my new partition was almost completely full. I installed almost every package in the Slackware distribution and was left with something shy of 10 MB free space on my 185 MB partition. A minimal installation - no TeX, games, etc.—would be a good deal smaller, but 185 MB is obviously not quite enough room for the whole of Slackware to fit comfortably.
One minor complaint I have about Slackware is its treatment of manual pages. They are stored in compressed, pre-formatted form (i.e. in /var/catman instead of /usr/man ), which saves disk space but limits your flexibility. I like having the manual page sources around, so I can format the output for viewing on a terminal, or an X display, or turn them into DVI or PostScript files. With only the pre-formatted pages at your disposal, you're stuck with ASCII (or ISO-8859-1) and a baroque system whereby underlining is denoted by a combination of underscores and backspaces interspersed between the characters. Yuck. Because this installation went so easily and was so trouble-free for me, I thought I should try out some other distributions and compare them to what I felt was an extremely polished and professional Slackware release. I didn't run it for long, since I wanted to check out BOGUS too.
Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Flemington, NJ, February 3, 2009 – Results of a national study that compared the 2008 Super Bowl ads against this year's ads revealed that the top five ads in 2008 scored statistically higher than the top five ads from this year.
The study was conducted by HCD Research using its Media Curves web site, during February 1-2.
Comparing the Scores from 2008 and 2009 Super Bowls
Top Five Ads from 2008 | Top Five Ads from 2009 | |||||
FedEx | Pigeons | 80.71 | Budweiser | Horse Circus | 77.02 | |
Budweiser | Rocky | 80.25 | Budweiser | Horse Fetch | 74.61 | |
Coca-Cola | Balloons | 78.51 | Coca-Cola | Nature | 72.53 | |
Diet Pepsi | What is Love | 76.66 | Bridgestone | Potato Head | 71.73 | |
Bridgestone | Squirrel | 75.87 | Budweiser | Coming to America | 71.48 |
"Our comparison revealed that the top five ads this year scored statistically lower than the top five ads from last year, said Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research. "Our results suggest that viewers' attitudes may have changed as a result of the economy, and advertisers may have cut back on the creative and production costs of the ads this year."
Ad Testing Methodology
During the game, the Super Bowl ads were inserted into a web survey and sent to a national representative sample of more than 2,000 participants. Responders answered questions regarding their perceptions of the ads using various parameters, including breakthrough, emotion, memorability and involvement. They also utilized an automated response system to indicate their level of interest in quarter-second intervals as they watch an ad.
The interest levels were analyzed in the form of curves to determine which commercials had the highest sustained levels of interest. The curves were used as part of a metric to calculate and rank the advertisements. The metric was also included with a measurement for emotions and an index for "word of mouth" impact of the ads.
Editors/Reporters: For more information on the ad testing, or to speak with Glenn Kessler, president and CEO, HCD Research, please contact Vince McGourty, HCD Research, at (908) 483-9121 or (firstname.lastname@example.com).

The far right's effort to create an intellectual conservative movement is truly comprehensive, well-funded and well-organized. They are not only building think tanks at the national level, but the state level as well, since congressional conservatives are trying to devolve power to the states. They are targeting the nation's elite universities, providing funding for conservative academic programs, conservative college newspapers, and conservative scholarships. Financially, liberals fall far behind in all these efforts. (from: http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-thinktank.htm )

Just a day away from the theoretical release date of Windows 7, we have some fascinating product information from Amazon: Windows 7 is the all time most pre-ordered product for Amazon UK. It even beat the venerable Harry Potter.
Looking at the price differential between an operating system and a novel, that is quite a feat.
Windows 7 was being rumored to have been overshadowed by the recent Apple event, but the consumers are speaking. Windows 7 is going to be a blowout success for Microsoft, at least in terms of initial sales.
To put it another way, Windows 7 is doing exactly what Microsoft wanted it to do: rejuvenate the brand. Have you preordered your copy of Windows 7 yet?

Audience was hooked
6:00pm Friday 15th February 2013 in News
SWORDPLAY: Smee (Harvey Bridge-Edwards, aged 16) and Captain Hook (Rick Coleman, 17) with an airborne Peter Pan (Edd Birchmore, 15)
THE magical story of Peter Pan was told through a gym and dance spectacular at the Cotswold School.
Students at the Bourton-based academy performed the sell-out show, Flight to Neverland, last Wednesday and Thursday evening.
More than 150 students took part in the fusion of gymnastics and dance inspired by J M Barrie's children's classic.
Headteacher Will Morgan said the amount of work and dedication shown by everyone involved was "nothing short of awe-inspiring".
"While these events take an enormous amount of work and time over and above an already busy school day, our fantastic teachers recognise that the extra effort is worth it for the students," he said.
"These events are a vital ingredient in making school an enriching, lively experience and our students are given wonderful, lasting memories of their days at the Cotswold School."
Proceeds will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The 5 Most Promising Figures From Winter WonFest 2013
Published March 2, 2013 | By Kazuo
I didn't like this winter's WonFest (Wonder Festival) 2013 very much. From companies that weren't ready and showed mostly cardboards with pictures, to tons of figures that weren't painted yet, to companies that keep producing rehashed figures of the same brands. Not to worry though. These faults made the best figures around all the more attractive, and I'm here to offer you my pick for the 5 most promising figures from WF2013. Plus a couple of extras!

Montreal Shopping
Montrealers magasinent (shop) with a vengeance, whether they're scurrying down busy Ste-Catherine downtown checking out department store bargains, or strolling up St-Laurent browsing in boutiques that stock wares from local designers, or buying gourmet food or native crafts at one of the city's markets.
And if you're in the market for a new fur, you've come to the right city. Montréal has a long history of being one of the fur capitals of the world. If you think you might be buying fur, check with your country's customs officials to find out which animals are considered endangered and can't be imported.
If shopping for native Inuit art, the same caveat applies to ivory carvings, which can't be imported into the United States or some other countries. If you do buy Inuit art, make sure to look for the government of Canada's igloo symbol, which attests to the piece's authenticity.
Montréal Shopping Planner
Most shops open by 10 am Monday through Saturday and close at 6 pm Monday through Wednesday. Stores stay open until 9 pm on Thursday and Friday, but on Saturday they usually close at 5 pm. On Sunday, most downtown shops open noon to 5 pm. There are, however, exceptions. Large chain stores downtown often stay open weeknights until 9, and boutiques in areas that draw a drinks-and-dinner crowd, such as in the Plateau and in Old Montréal, can stay open even later in summer.
Sales Tax
When the Canadian dollar drops in value against the greenback, U.S. visitors to Canada are in bargain heaven, despite hefty tax rates. You must pay 5% in federal tax, called the GST (or TPS in Québec), and an additional 9.5% in Québec tax on most goods and services. Still, even when the Canuck buck trades at par, there are deals on certain homegrown items: furs, fast fashion from local chains, and crafty goods that reflect Montréal's funky side. Unfortunately, Québec did away with the tax-back-for-non-Canadians program in 2007.
If you want to take a less traditional tour of the city—and you love to shop—then Montreal Shopping Tours (www.montrealshoppingtours.com) is right up your alley. Half- and full-day excursions will take you on a sartorial tour of the best boutiques and give you a taste of what Québec designers have to offer (plus exclusive discounts). Run by Janna Zittrer, a Montréal native and fashion writer, excursions are tailored to suit your personal style needs.

Remastered Beatles on iTunes in 2008
By Reuters and Simon Aughton
Posted on 4 Jun 2007 at 07:26
Beatles fans will probably have to wait until next year before they can buy the Fab Four's tunes from online retailers such as Apple's iTunes store, George Harrison's widow has said.
A recent settlement to a lengthy trademark dispute between Apple and the Beatles' company, Apple Corps, has cleared the way for the band to distribute its catalogue in cyberspace.
But Olivia Harrison told Reuters, 'We just have a few things to work out elsewhere.'
Specifically, all the Beatles CDs have been remastered - good news for fans who have long complained about the poor sound quality - and the organisation wants to get the artwork ready for the physical packages.
Asked if the catalogue would be available online by the end of next year, she said, 'Oh God, yeah. Hope so ... I don't know if it would be the end of this year, but it would be nice. Imminent, let's put it that way.'
Paul McCartney, who has adopted an aggressive digital marketing strategy for the release next week of his solo album, Memory Almost Full, said last month that an online deal for the Beatles catalogue was 'virtually settled' - perhaps over the cheesecake he delivered to Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. But he, too, shied away from saying that anything would happen in the short term.
The Beatles are the highest-profile omission from digital retailers. While the dispute with Apple did not help, the band's organisation has traditionally adopted a conservative approach to new technology, including CDs.
'I think we're a little bit behind,' Harrison said, noting that it was 'ridiculous' that properly remastered CDs of the band's catalogue were not yet available.
'We [the band's members and widows] all agree. It's been done. It's just trying to now get it out there.'
She said that Neil Aspinall, the recently retired businessman who oversaw the group's complex business affairs, had been busy in recent years on the remastering project.
'That's a big job. That means you have to go back through all the archives and find great photographs and really give a nice package to the fans.'
Aspinall retired in April and was replaced by Jeff Jones, an American music industry executive who specialises in deluxe reissues of classic albums. Harrison said Aspinall's departure was voluntary, dispelling fan speculation to the contrary.
But she said Jones would 'pick up the pace' now that the most recent project, a Beatle-inspired Cirque du Soleil stage show in Las Vegas, was underway after years of preparation initiated by her husband before he died in 2001.

Bearcats Defeat Bandits in regular season finale. |
Thursday, 13 October 2011 | |
The Bandits traveled to Bridgeport, CT to play the 2010 NEFL defending Champion CT Bearcats. The Bandits held the Bearcats on their first possession, however, a questionable penalty on the punt gave the Bearcats the ball back in Bandit territory. Rich Snowden took advantage, completing a long lpass for a touchdown. The Bandits would answer behind a weaving run by JT Harrold, however, the extra point failed leaving the score at 7-6. The Bandits would appear to pick up a fumble later and return it for a touchdown, however, an inadvertent whistle stopped the return and the Bandits were not able to convert points from the turnover. The Bearcats tried to punch in another score before the half, but were denied three time and with 2 seconds left, converting a short field goal instead and a 10-6 half time lead. (more to follow) |

Comedian Phyllis Diller dies at 95

Comedian Phyllis Diller dies at 95
Molly Eichel
Legendary comedian Phyllis Diller passed away this morning, according to her manager Milt Suchin. Diller was 95.
Best known for her self-deprecating stage persona, Diller began her stand-up career in the early '50s, rising to prominence in the '60s, crediting Bob Hope with her success. She would later go on to inspire legions of comedians, including Joan Rivers, who Diller lovingly referred to as her protege.
Diller blazed the trail for many women after her. While many obituaries will credit her as one of the greatest female comedians of all time, we believe this distinction is incorrect. It should be noted that Diller was one of the greatest comedians, regardless of gender.
Our condolences to Fang.
Her first TV appearance, on Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life," can be seen below:

I loved Phyllis Diller when I was growing up.
She was completely unpredictable and bizarre and funny
and called all the shots.

IT WAS a big weekend for the entire Hobart organisation, with both SEABL teams and individuals starring on last weekend's road trip.
The Chargers and Lady Chargers emerged from the Brisbane-Canberra double with a clean slate, enabling the men to remain third in the South Conference and the women to jump back into the top four.
Anthony Stewart's squad is the most in-form in the competition at the moment and is riding a five-match winning streak, while Dan Krebs's group has strung together three victories on the trot.
Two Hobart stars were also given the Player of the Week award, with Jordan Gregg and Myra Donkin recognised.
Gregg - who has been arguably the find of the competition after coming from division two in NSW - averaged 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in his two matches, with his performance against Brisbane the highlight. The American scored 26 points, including 6-6 from downtown against the Spartans.
Lady Chargers skipper Donkin averaged 21.5 points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal for the weekend.
She was outstanding in both games with 19 points and three assists in the victory at Brisbane before backing up the following night with 24 points at 64 per cent from the floor.
DESPITE losing two of its three matches in the Stankovic Continental Cup in China, Australia progressed to the final overnight.
Tasmanian Hugh Greenwood is part of the squad, which edged out Russia to meet the host in the decider.
Greenwood equal top scored for his country in game three against Tunisia with 11 points, with Australia going down narrowly 62-60. However, thanks to China defeating Russia 73-67 in the final roster match the Aussies progressed.
WITH the SBL hosting rivalry week this Saturday night a number of clinics will kick off proceedings at two venues.
Before the Eastern shore Grenadiers-Clarence clash at Warrane and the inner-city battle between Phoenix and Wellington at Moonah, clinics will begin for kids under 14 from 5pm.
These will include tuition from Chargers players, prizes and giveaways. To register for clinics email tarna2912@ bigpond.com for Moonah and email@example.com for Warrane.
The division one games start from 7pm with bar and canteen facilities available, along with a barbecue, raffle and half-time shootouts.

Friday, May 24, 2013
A report that the Chinese military may have been responsible for an attempt to hack into computers at The New York Times should bring the dangers of international cybercrime back to the public policy forefront.
Apparently, the Times started noticing electronic intrusions about the time it published a report about the family finances of Premier Wen Jiabo. The hackers broke into the email accounts of Shanghai bureau chief David Barboza and stole corporate passwords giving them access to private computers.
The newspaper hired a private security firm, which was able to block and trace the intrusions.
We should have a government security agency, however, to protect Americans and businesses from this kind of espionage.
Most of the nation's power grid is under control of private businesses. So is the world's financial system. An enemy could get into the computers that run either of those systems and create chaos all over the country.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins and former Sen. Olympia Snowe led an effort in the Senate last fall to create a cyberterrorism protection plan, but Congress was stymied by election-year politics.
The election is over, but the Times attack shows the problem has arrived.

When the weather allows we can pour the black concrete and glass plinth at 250mm high...I'll add a splash of rapid cement to the mix for speed.....sounds like Blue Peter!
Day 11:
Having observed the met office, of which I do as a ritual, I have a gap in the weather window which allows me to apply the concrete and grushed glass plinth, you'll note that for asthetic reasons I've also mixed black cement dye to the concrete mixture.
The water pump hose remains central.
The 4x2 frameworks or studworks are fabricated and bolted to the tops of the blockwork, the frame work for the double doors giving access to the oil drum are built and clad with 150x22mm treated sawn timber, all fixings are placed too.
Day 12:
With the current temperatures around the 8-9 degrees for the next few days in the Southwest, I am able to install the rammed earth mixture, plus some other interesting additions, continuing the recycled theme I've also inserted a piece of toughen glass that I kept from a water feature I created in my own garden, for space reasons I've since removed the entire contents of my garden and created a new contemporary space....the image below shows you the water feature and glass I've salvaged for recycling into the rammed earth water feature.
The water feature and "recycled" glass from my own garden.
The shutters have been removed exposing the consolidated "waste" soil, I've kept the stop ends in place as the concrete capping and water outlet hole are formed.

Day 13:
All The timber screens are erected and screwed in a clean vertical line, the planters are filled with rich topsoil, the capping to the screens are screwed in place, you'll note that the water feature is slightly lower than the cappings...this is to allow for the water feature capping to be inserted level with the timber.
The pergola posts are concreted in the ground, levelled and plumb. The pergola frame work is attached and painted with blacktimbercare.
The topsoil for the turf is placed , raked and levelled as is the subbase for the circular paving.
Another angle of the garden, Marshalls utility paving acts as a capping to the stone walling.
