Be a Marketing Super Hero in 2010 - Part 1 - Build Some Muscle
1:54 PM | Posted by Leigh Durst | Edit Post
It's not just the rapid pace of change and the evolution of new tools that impact the marketing cycle today that are daunting. There's a new language to learn and new communication dynamics exist. There's a need for more technical knowledge, channel expertise and core competencies not present in the current skill sets of the enterprise. There's not only a need for new talent, but a requirement that enables them to challenge the status quo, rock the boat, test and experiment that may threaten or intimidate co-workers. There's a need for increased cross-divisional and departmental collaboration -- juxtaposed with the reality that marketing is often either not empowered or respected enough to drive effective integrated, collaborative and coordinated delivery.
Today, it's more important than ever to work efficiently and effectively. Yet, for many, this seems to be an impossibility. This is not only because of increasing pressure and demand - but because in truth, marketing has fundamentally shifted. It demands new planning, skill sets and approaches to business that many people inside the enterprise do not yet understand. Breaking it down simply, it might look a little like this:
The truth is, denial, fear, and inaction are our worst enemies! They are dangerous to both individuals and the organizations they serve -- and they don't have to reign in your organization. There's a bright new future ahead - and while change is required - it's worth it. Breaking past the fear -- we find ourselves in a place of revitalization, with amazing new capabilities and stimulating new ways to learn, promote our products and services. We find ourselves closer to customers, and more able to understand their unique needs as well as market opportunities. To succeed, it's not necessary to become a new marketing guru overnight (P.S. overnight gurus are not gurus at all!). It's possible to take things one step at a time and retrench the organization in a way that creates some order in the chaos. So let's get started.
Building Your Super Muscle:
- DISCOVER YOUR SUPER POWERS - It's easy to get caught up in "Aspirational branding." That is, the promises, stories and campaigns marketing creates. However, this is focusing on the wrapper -- not the candy. The good stuff is what your company does better than anyone else - this may be delivering unique products or services, or your ability to reach a unique market. There must be something your brand delivers better than anyone else. Examine your competitors. Study the customer and develop a clearer understanding of the pros and pitfalls of the customer experience. Define how your product or service makes life better for the customer. Write down your strengths clearly and succinctly, and keep a separate list of issues that undermine the customer experience so that you can address problems as you move forward.
- EXPLORE SOME SUPER TOOLS - Get on the learning track. Sign up for some courses, do some reading failures of others. Get yourself and your team learning about the host of new technologies that are transforming businesses today. If you don't have the expertise in-house, hire a consultant with an established track record to help you. As you begin to experiment with new tools (not just Facebook, or Twitter) and channels, it's important not to think of the tools as "marketing tools." Think of them instead as valuable channels supporting the extension of sales, service, support on the web. Champion these ideas within executive ranks. Dispel myths about Social Media, and help executive leadership understand key shifts (see chart above) in marketing, and the opportunities present in the new economy. Use the more educated leadership to help garner internal support.
- ESTABLISH MISSION CONTROL - Create an environment for collaborative planning, research, analysis, testing and strategy. This may be a center of excellence or a cross-organizational task force focused on improving customer-focused delivery. Focus less on ownership and control and more on support and facilitation across the enterprise. It's okay to fail - but fail fast and recover. Showcase key learning and present opportunities. With the help of executive leadership, invite other divisions to participate in proactive planning, research, testing and execution. Establish credibility by keeping the ego in check. Develop tutorials and communicate best practices in a manner that facilitates and encourages engagement. Share openly and provide value-added information (articles, information, etc.) that can benefit the entire organization within an accessible knowledge base. Publish knowledge and key learning in a proactive, timely manner (perhaps using a few Super Tools like Yammer or a password protected Wiki). Communicate upward, outward and downward, and celebrate success with hearty approbation.
- WIN (AND EARN) SUPPORTERS - Agencies and silos don't typically develop integrated customer experiences that drive long-term success. Long-term success requires winning the hearts and minds of divisions like Customer Service, Sales, Product Development, Operations, IT and other divisions to a new way of doing business. Hearts and minds are won best through servant leadership, consultative selling and listening - and Marketing can play a much more successful and influential role in rallying the organizations around the customer. New marketing requires the breakdown of operational silos, which is threatening to many stakeholders. Start by engaging in open dialog. Listen first! If they're already engaged in the use of new technologies, learn from what they are doing. If they're not already engaged, think of ways you can help, educate and facilitate. Discuss your learning, thoughts and plans in an open manner. Demonstrate customer centric behavior. Describe the potential and up-side of involvement in new, social channels. Show and teach - rather than Stand and preach! Repeat the call to "support and facilitate" and you will your organization through servant-leadership.
- NEUTRALIZE YOUR FOES - Getting past denial, fear and inaction - it's time to tackle the enemies of customer experience within your organization. Create a "wanted poster" of the biggest enemies to consistently positive customer experience within your organization. Work with the front-line, sales, IT, operations, product development and customer service to resolve these problems. While other teams resolve issues outside your marketing's purview -- create wins by extending service through new, cost-effective channels where it makes the most sense. Consider how you may user the Super Tools to create improvements in the experience that are remarkable. Respond quickly and with grace, celebrate positive feedback from customers. Work cross-organizationally to create a more integrated, cohesive customer experience that creates wins across-the-board.

C-SPAN video: Navajo Code Talkers Keith Little, Samuel Smith and Sam Billison are interviewed in Washington, D.C., in May, 2004
Keith Little, who joined the Marine Corps at age 17 and became one of the famed Navajo Code Talkers of World War II, died Tuesday at an Arizona hospital. He was 87.
Little, the longtime president of the Navajo Code Talkers Association, spent his last years touring the country to gain support and funding for a museum honoring the men whose use of the Navajo language in radio transmissions confounded the Japanese during the war in the Pacific.
"My motivation was to fight the enemy with a gun or whatever," Little told The Associated Press in a July 2009 interview. "When I went into the Marine Corps ... I knew nothing about the Navajo code. It was really astonishing to me to get to Camp Pendleton and there were a bunch of Navajos there, and they were working with a Navajo code."

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- The ailing economy is motivating some to join the medical field; a field with an increasing demand for new nurses following the Affordable Care Act.
Dozens of potential nursing students toured the St. Anthony College of Nursing on East State Street. Potential students say, although they want to work in the medical field, it can be hard to afford their education. The college offers financial aid, something more people need during these hard times. Professors at the school say there is always a need of qualified nurses, and it can be a very rewarding field.
"Nursing is great if you want to serve people. We are a very mission based school but also it's a good career not just because it's rewarding but because it pays very well," says Dr. Terri Burch, President of the St. Anthony College of Nursing.
The school typically admits 50 students in the spring and fall.

Hip Hop Is Dead Lyrics - Nas
Review The Song (5)
[DJ samples]
"Hip hop" "hip hop" "is dead"
"Hip--hip hop" "hip hop" "is dead"
"Hip--hip hop" "hip--hip hop" "is dead"
"Hip--hip hop" "hip hop" "hip hop"
[Hook - 2X]
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead
[Verse 1]
Yeah, niggaz smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner
Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama
Rich ass niggaz is ridin' with three llamas
Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
(Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind)
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up
Any ghetto will tell ya Nas helped grow us up
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up
Gave my nigga my right, I could have gave left
So like my girl Foxy, a nigga went Def
So nigga, who's your top ten?
Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren?
[Hook - 2X]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead
[Verse 2]
The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'
Come through, something ill, missin' the ceilin'
What influenced my raps? Stick ups and killings
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings
Criticize that, why is that?
Cuz Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
Cuz we love to talk on ass we gettin'
Most intellectuals will only half listen
So you can't blame jazz musicians
Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues
Oh I they like me--in my white tee
You can't ice me, we here for life B
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey
And for that we not takin' it lightly
If hip hop should die we die together
Bodies in the morgue lie together
All together now
[Hook - 2X]
Hip hop just died this mornin'
Hip hop just died this mornin'
Hip hop just died this mornin'
And she's dead, she's dead
[crowd chanting "Hip hop!" becomes beat]
[Verse 3]
Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
If it got where it started
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
Hip hopper since a toddler
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka
R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
Went from turntables to mp3s
From "Beat Street" to commercials on Mickey D's
From gold cables to Jacobs
From plain facials to Botox and face lifts
I'm lookin' over my shoulder
It's about eighty niggaz from my hood that showed up
And they came to show love
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut

Nas is achieving his mission | Reviewer: Glorious | 9/11/2007
just the tiltle of this song prove that Nas like a prophete is achieving his mission on the earth. Just few MC would nowadays take a stand to save the movement. Most mc only thing about the rules of fame, money and richness decided by non hiphoper who rules the music industry and who destroy the spirit of hip hop.
Thank you Nas

Human growth hormone (HGH)
in one form or another is being sold on TV, radio, and on the internet. Consumers should be advised that all human growth hormone products are not created equal! Many products are bogus and completely worthless! This site can save you a great deal of time, money, and aggravation in your quest for a good human growth hormone product.
This web page is designed to be concise. It can be read from start to finish in less than 6 minutes. I feel it is 6 minutes well invested. I think you will too. Let's get started.
First you must understand that there are three types of human growth hormone products being sold.
"Raw" human growth hormone, human growth hormone enhancers, and "spray type" human growth hormone products.
"Raw" HGH (aka Somatropin) is literally a synthetic human growth hormone in an injectable form. You would need a doctor to prescribe it. It can have some potentially dangerous side effects. It's cost is also an incredible $1,000 per month or more.
The second type is a human growth hormone enhancer also known as a secretagogue. It is in pill or powder form, requires no prescription, and rarely if ever has any side effects. It costs anywhere from $30 to $200 per month depending on where you buy it. It works by supplementing the body with compounds known to cause the body to increase the manufacture of human growth hormone.
The third type is a human growth hormone spray. These are liquid products taken under the tongue or sprayed in the mouth or nose. There is no legitimate proof of effectiveness for these products and in my opinion they are a complete waste of money. There just is no way that HGH can be introduced into the body in this matter. It is impossible. More about this later.
Are the HGH enhancer products as effective as "raw" HGH injections?
No, most competent anti-aging physicians prescribe an injectable dose to bring HGH levels in the blood to 360 ng/ml. A good HGH enhancer will raise blood levels to 275 ng/ml. There are still tremendous benefits in taking a good oral HGH enhancer. Studies done on good HGH enhancers have shown to increase HGH levels in the body to the same level as they were in the subject 10 to 15 years before. In other words, an excellent HGH supplement can provide most of the benefits of the injectable form without the potential cost or side effects. Besides, only the wealthy could afford the injectable form anyway.
Is there a way to naturally increase HGH?
Yes! You can naturally increase your bodies production of HGH without supplementation. This is accomplished either by calorie restriction, fasting, and or rigorous and sustained exercise. None of these will cause your body to increase HGH production as much as taking a quality supplement product.
Are all HGH supplements created equal? Do they all work about the same?
No, their effectiveness varies widely. Paying the highest price will not guarantee you will get a good HGH product. This is the reason for building this web site. There are many HGH enhancer supplements on the market. Most, in my opinion, are a colossal waste of money. There are many different types of enhancers in a good HGH supplement. There are less enhancers in a bad HGH supplement. The dose of each enhancer in the supplement is important too. The best price I've found for an excellent HGH product will cost you around $50-60 per month.
Is HGH truly a medical breakthrough that can aid in reversing the aging process?
Yes, the scientific evidence is overwhelming in my opinion.
What benefits can I expect from taking a good HGH enhancer?
The results will vary from person to person. Generally, you will get the following results: increased strength, stamina and endurance, increased muscle growth and fat loss, improved sleeping, increase in libido and sexual stamina, hair regrowth and a lessening of gray hair, improved skin elasticity, stronger bones, increases in vision and hearing, lowering of blood pressure, increases in memory and cognitive abilities. In short, anything you could attribute to being younger.
Are there any people who should not take HGH enhancers?
In summary, oral HGH enhancers are likely very safe. Those with active cancers must inform their doctors before adding any supplement, especially any natural hormone or hormone enhancer. Those taking medications for thyroid dysfunction and diabetes must keep their doctors informed and carefully monitor their medication accordingly. It is possible that those with borderline hypothyroidism, hypocortisolemia, and even hypoglycemia may unmask or aggravate these conditions with HGH enhancements. Such possibilities only further emphasize that HGH enhancements are best approached as part of a total program of diet, exercise, antioxidant supplementation, and multiple hormone enhancement optimization.
What criteria should one utilize in determining the best human growth hormone enhancer for the money?
First, eliminate any and all manufacturers and distributors that do not list their products ingredients. These are the people selling hype by calling some product an "HGH" something or other. Sellers of good human growth hormone enhancers always lists their ingredients.
Secondly, eliminate any human growth hormone sprays. These are the products that are claimed to introduce HGH or IGF-1 through the mouth or nose. This is absolute nonsense. It is true that pharmaceutical companies have developed ways to partially absorb some drugs through the skin. But these are only small, non-protein molecules.
The HGH molecule also loses potency very rapidly when dissolved in solution. The molecule is folded and twisted on itself repeatedly. Activity in the body depends on fragile cross linkages between branches of this very large molecule, which hold it in an exact three-dimensional configuration. It works on cell receptors exactly like a key in a lock. Any change in shape blocks HGH activity, even if the chemical formula remains exactly the same. Those cross-linkages break very easily and become unstable soon after dissolving in solution. Only with refrigeration can biological activity be maintained for up to two weeks. That's how fragile the molecule is. How then could activity be maintained in a liquid spray?
Furthermore, a typical dose of an HGH spray is between 25 to 200 nanograms (parts per billion) taken three times per day. 25 nanograms is approximately 1/15,000ths of a dose deemed effective in raising hgh to any therapeutic level! In other words there isn't near enough HGH found in any spray form to have any effect even if it were able to be absorbed in the blood stream in the first place!
One must also be careful with statements made by HGH spray marketers advertising their product as "FDA approved". This does not mean the substance has been proven to increase HGH in the body. It only means the FDA has given approval for the product to be sold retail! This statement is in no way any proof of effectiveness!
If you have recently purchased a spray form HGH I would recommend you immediately return it for a refund. If you are past the period when you can do so, try returning it anyway citing that you were fraudently sold this product. Threaten to make the FDA aware of their outrageous claims. Many companies will then refund your money even if your money back guarantee has expired.
Next, search the products that are left to see if they contain Colostrum. Although Colostrum will not elevate HGH in the body it will offer far ranging benefits. These benefits essentially mimic the benefits of elevating HGH. Colostrum is reported to strengthen the immune system, improve muscle mass to body fat ratio, combat depression by elevating mood, rejuvinate skin and muscle tissue, support healthy joint and cartilage function, accelerate healing of injury or trauma and increase endurance and workload capacity. Colostrum is an expensive ingredient however therefore many inferior products oftem omit this wonderful substance.
Now, we need a good Amino Peptide Complex. Some amino acids have been demonstrated to naturally increase the body's production of HGH. A lot of the inexpensive and also not so inexpensive HGH enhancers on the market contain nothing more than various Amino acids. The best of all by far in my opinion in Glutamine. Some claim that Glutamine can elevate growth hormone levels by as much as 400%. This sounds a bit hard for me to believe but I have read studies demonstrating significant increases in HGH from glutamine supplementation.
Using the above thought process you should be able to eliminate about 75% of the hgh products on the market. To go further we need to know a little more about anti-aging medicine. Don't worry, I'll be brief.
Often anti-aging physicians will treat male patients with testosterone replacement therapy. Conversely, they will often treat women with estrogen replacement therapy. By doing so they will be able to biologically regress their age a few years back. This therapy is fast becoming mainstream medicine as it can actually improve liver, kidney, and heart function. When you improve these three organs you basically improve every area concerning health and vitality. In women it can be helpful with the symptoms of menopause and can also prevent even regress dreaded osteoporosis. When you increase testosterone levels in men you find an increase in virility, stamina, and muscle growth. By increasing testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women the aging process can be reversed. The benefits are wide spread and include all the possible advantages mentioned previously regarding the taking of an HGH enhancer.
There is a truly amazing herb know as Tribulus Terrestris. This herb increases testosterone in men and estrogen in women! In my opinion, anyone seriously interested in anti-aging supplementation should be taking this herb.
That's pretty much it. I promised you to be as brief as possible. If you stick with purchasing products that contain the ingredients outlined in this article I think you will be pleased at the benefits you can derive from human growth hormone augmentation. Presently, the best product for the money in my opinion is known as "Ultimate HGH". This product will cost you about $33 a month if you order 3 bottles at a time. Also when you order three bottles they will give you a full 90 day money back guarantee. If you do purchase "Ultimate HGH" I would appreciate an e-mail in a couple of months telling me how well it is working for you. My long term goal is to try to develop some sort of statistics as to what benefits people are seeing from the product. Good luck to you!

I'd like to see a marmit sculpt of the 8th angel.
That is the clearest picture I've seen of the new 3rd Angel to-date...
I believe this is the first time the 6th Angel (old numbering: 5th) has been made into a screen-accurate model (as opposed to a number of chibi key chains, etc.)
Aww, look-Zeruel is happy to see you! ^_^
WTF, still no Unit-04 (*silent rage*), and they forgot about Units-05 and -06.
Now, WHY can't they make larger versions of Angels that stand taller than 2"!? Howsabout, oh, 6" or 8" for starters???

Service dog returned after being stolen
Updated On: Aug 20 2013 11:27:59 PM EDT
One of the most important members of the Taylor family was stolen in broad daylight last weekend. Sabrina Taylor told Channel 4 when she arrived home Saturday, she saw someone loading their son's service dog into the back of their car.
"I was afraid I wasn't going to get her back because she actually will tell me my son's going to seize," said Taylor.
Taylor said the dog Roxy was stolen right out of the yard. Roxy is the Taylor's 7-year-old son, Clayton's, service dog. Roxy's job is to let the Taylor's know if Clayton needs help.
"My son could lose his life because we can't tell when he seizes. He could seize in his sleep, which is mostly what he does, and he could not wake up, and of course she tells us, she bangs the door, she'll go through the door until you wake up to let you know something's wrong with Clayton," said Taylor.
The Taylors immediately called police when Roxy was stolen from their yard Saturday. Roxy showed up at a neighbor's home a few days later and is now safely back home, but the Taylor's said the dog-napping taught them an important lesson.
"It's bad that I can't let her roam her yard and smell and play, and run, no. She's like one of the kids now, you have to keep her here because of someone's stupidity," said Taylor.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Another arrest has been made in connection with two separate shootings on Charleston's West Side.
Darrell Emmett Carter Jr., 18, is being charged with malicious wounding and first degree murder defined.
According to the criminal complaints, Carter was involved in a shooting on Stuart Street on Sunday, March 30th as well as a deadly shooting on 6th Street on April 23rd.
In the Stuart Street shooting, two men including Carter were shot and Carter was seen running from the scene.
When officers asked him what happened, he refused to cooperate saying he had no idea why he'd been shot and that he did not see his attacker.
As for the deadly shooting on 6th Street, the victim Tymel McKinney, 19, was shot to death while sitting on a front porch.
Police say Carter was present at the shooting. Carter admitted to having a gun, but denies firing it.
Surveillance video shows a man in a gray hooded sweatshirt throw down a pistol. Carter admitted to wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt during the shooting.
Carter also admits that the shooting was gang related and that the reason behind it was disrespect against his gang "Sex-Money-Murder." Carter said he received orders for a "hit" on McKinney from a superior of a gang in Detroit.

Good answer @akashay045 and I might add that the petrol is not compressed either. Well not in the conventional sense. It is injected into the chamber in a somewhat aerosol form that is mixed with air and it is the air mixture that is compressed not the petrol. Sorry to pick apart your answer @pkjha3105. Nothing against you, just trying to improve the over-all response to the asker. Your input is appreciated. :)

I'm David Suggitt (the real one) and I created DailyTimelapse in 2007 to market the creative outlet I loved so much: Timelapse Photography. Since then, it's gone a little beyond timelapse.
A Mechanical Engineering Technologist and AutoCAD specialist, I started my journey as an entrepreneur in 1995 with my first technology startup, Suggitt & Stojanovic Software Inc., then Gödel Technologies Canada Ltd. (2001) with partners in Belarus & UK, and now Suggitt Technical Creative IP Inc. (2013).
Since 2007 I've expanded my creative offering to include Hyperlapse (motion timelapse), Stop-Motion, Motion Graphics, and now Light Painting with the Pixelstick system from BitBanger Labs.
Raised in Regina, then 25 years in Vancouver, I'm now enjoying life in Calgary Alberta, creating a collection of urban visuals in Timelapse and Hyperlapse. I commercially license my visuals directly and through Getty Images. My shots have appeared on TV and in Motion Pictures and have enhanced numerous brands and corporate identities.
I am one of the first Hyperlapse pioneers, recently popularized by Instagram and Microsoft Research. One of my earliest commercial successes with Hyperlapse was in 2009 on a behind-the-scenes look at Canada's second busiest airport. Thirteen videos explore the inner-workings of YVR, and is an expose on the local west-coast native art and sculpture. It was an amazing project and is on permanent display at the international departures lounge at YVR.

Would this mobo handle this kind of ram?
I would like to ask that i have Gigabyte MA-770T UD3 Rev. 1.5 mobo and i would like to buy new memory sticks . I have found this Corsair Vengeance 3x4GB but its not in mem support list . Would that mobo handle these rams or i will get crc errors after a short period?
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
Hi golemkaaa
I would not recommend putting that ram in that motherboard. The ram kit you linked to is a triple channel kit.
You want a dual channel regular kit, this in your case would be either 4x4GB or 2x4GB depending on how much ram you want.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
I have a serious problem with the mobo , from the 4 slots only 3 working , thats whyi chose 3*4 GB kit . I want more and mooooore of ram! At the moment im running the pc with cheap kingston , but i wanna upgrade them for something better and the mobo support maximum 16 gigs of ram , but 1 slot isnt working so 12 gb ...
You said that is a triple channel kit but what would happen if i would put those to computer? Im open for every kind of advice , but i want to put minimum at least 12 gbs of ram to computer with 15gbs bandwith
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
The problem is, if you use 3 sticks in the motherboard the ram will not be running in triple channel mode and more importantly it will not be running in dual channel mode, dual channel mode give much greater performance.
With 3 sticks in you will essentially be running in single channel mode which is pretty old school and does not perform very well.
I doubt your motherboard supports 2X8GB sticks so my recommendation would be to buy a nice set of 2X4GB sticks. If you need more then I would suggest buying a new motherboard, one to replace what you already have would be very cheap, especially compared to the price of the ram you have listed in your first post.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
Could you post something info about this double/triple/quad channel? So you are saying that this 3*4 will be slower in single channel then my old 2*2 in dual?
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
Essentially yes, it will perform worse than what you have now. You will just have more ram.
I am not at my PC right now but I will find an article for you later.
I have also personally tested this on quite a few ram sets and ran benchmarks which showed the performance difference from single channel to dual channel. You can forget about running in triple channel mode as your motherboard does not support this. Triple channel motherboards have 6 ram slots.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
Have a read through this article - Everything You Need to Know About the Dual-, Triple-, and Quad-Channel Memory Architectures | Hardware Secrets
Pay attention to the Bandwidth and Dual channel Architecture sections.
That explains the performance differences.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
Along with Paul's great information I would like to add this.
The first thing I recommend is reading the motherboard manual. It's your computer bible.
Now some basics.
Your motherboard is designed for DDR-3 ram in duel channel. It will only except DDR-3 ram. If installed as per motherboard manual you will be using DDR-3 ram in a dual channel configuration.
You should install 2 or 4 sticks of ram as per the motherboard manual.
If like you state you have a bad ram slot then you need a new motherboard. No motherboard will allow you to install anything you want just Willy Nilly and work properly if at all.
**What makes you think you have a bad ram slot on your motherboard??
Your next step before buying anything or doing anything is read and understand your motherboard manual. If you have a desire for more information on single,dual, or triple channel motherboards just Google it. Their are thousands of articles on the web.
After doing your homework please get back to us. We will be able to help you better once you understand the basics.
Paul has posted a very good sit to get you started.

so my last question is:
Any 2x4gb trustable stick for me ?
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2013
I had a look at the QVL for your motherboard and to be honest it's not very useful and very outdated.
I would say most kits should work, they have G.Skill listed, Kingston and Corsair and although there won't be a 100% chance they will work, they should be fine.
You could probably go with a 2X4 GB Dual channel kit of the same stuff you listed in your first post.
It says your Motherboard supports up to 1600MHz ram but it may only run at 1333MHz depending on how you can set it in your bios. I am not too good with AMD sorry.

hockey you say?? almost...
well i got a call yesterday afternoon from the university asking if i could do a photo shoot for promo stuff for the upcoming season, i say sure, jumping at the chance to shoot a sport again. the next question was if 7:30 would work? oh yeah, 3 hours notice is just perfect . anyway, i went and did what i could but let my mistake be a lesson for others. when asked to do a promo photo shoot, demand to pick your own location, make sure you have time to plan what you want to do, and the time to talk with the folks to know exactly what they want.
if you don't, you will hate yourself in the morning and make yourself look bad in the process..
notice the different colors in the lighting, not my idea of fun to try and work against...
once again, ugly ice color on the right hand side...
almost acceptable...
angles you will never get during a game...
the university is happy with the shots from the day, but i was plenty pissed off that i agreed and didn't force them to give me a week to scout my own rink with more favourable lighting. that and i had no idea what they wanted for shots so i just winged it, i definately didn't come off as a professional on the ice because of this. oh and despite the university being more than pleased with the shots, they are all crap!!!
at least i got to shoot something other than the product shots that i have been doing to eat this summer
don't make the same mistakes as me!!!

that's a question that might get answered some day with the perfect comment. all i know is that when will made that comment it was the most perfect statement at the time. gavin probably dropped a couple threads in a row of jaw dropping footy on a dead day or something and i couldn't have agreed more with the comment, so it gets airtime in my sig for a while yet

Re: hockey you say?? not quite but soon...
Hey Jody,
Can u share with me how you are getting those crisp stunning images on the ice. I'm new to photography and live in northern ontario. I would like to get the stunning images on the hockey rink as you. I've tried last year during hockey season and consistently keep getting grey, dull ice surface...ahhhh I've tried numerous setting. Can u share with me what setting on your camera your'e using. I currently have a Canon 1D Mark II, 580 speedlite, Signma 200 mm f/2.8, Canon 18-40 mm f/4.0, Canon 85 mm f/1.8, Canon 24-105 mm f/4.5 lenses...

Re: hockey you say?? not quite but soon...
3oh6 - I think you are being way too hard on yourself. Given the notice... and conditions, you seem to have done fine. As to the red on the ice, since there is no red anywhere else, you should be able to desaturate it without an issue. I find shooting "setup" stuff really hard - I like to shoot live action. The images are sharp.. and the probably fill their need. Don't beat yourself up over this - things can go a whole lot worse.

Re: hockey you say?? not quite but soon...
Hockey rinks are not great places for lighting. I don't know which arena you could have scouted that would have the ideal lighting. I grew up in arenas and I watched my son grow up playing hockey. I 've taken many shots in an arena, mostly with point and shoot digitals and the pictures are terrible. Even editing software can't fix them. Last year I had a chance to use my Digital Rebel with the kit lens and still they did not turn out well. This year when I'm on the ice with my mens league I will have my wife try some shots with my 20D and my soon to be new 70-200 F2.8. I will also have a 580EX. I'm not sure if flash will help as that is something I will be learning.

Re: hockey you say?? not quite but soon...
as for settings, i shot all day yesterday in Av mode with the aperature set to f/2.2 (some purple fringing shows up at f/2 in arenas with the 85) and a compensation of +1 stop, ISO 1600. i wanted to make sure i was exposing for the dark jerseys. the +1 exposure comp. tricked the camera into overexposing so the players jersey and face would be properly exposed and everything else would get slightly blown out when it was adjusting the shutter speeds. this is the key to getting 'pretty' ice, overexpose the heck out of it . with white hemlets its a bit of a risk and you will notice i have a big loss of detail there, but i can live with it. i used a grey card to figure out correct exposure and WB in the 4 corners of the rink while the guys were dressing, yes gavin, a hand held meter will be coming this year i hope.
normally i would have metered individually for each shot and shot manual, controlling everything but time restraints (i only had 45 mins of ice time) made me work quick on my feet and i had to rely on the camera to adjust shutters for me. for the shots of the guys shooting i turned the ISO down to 800 to get the camera to get slower shutters so you could get a small sense of motion.
i hope that helps a little, if not, ask away and i will do my best.

Re: hockey you say?? not quite but soon...
the guys did well yesterday and i got some 'game-like' faces out of them despite them not ever meeting me prior to the time they stepped on the ice. i am pleased with the way the players look in the shots given the extreme lack of organisation on the universities part.
the university is happy but they would have been happy had i shot with a video camera and used still frames taken from that thanx for the pep talk though, the shots really aren't that bad, but if you stop critisizing yourself then you become complacent and that shows up in shots in a hurry.

I like 'em - a lot. Given the amount of notice you had, I think these shots should qualify for the 'photo quality whoring' seal of approval. Whatever that may be...

Re: hockey you say?? not quite but soon...
I have to say these are realy great! I LOVE the wide angle shot with the goalie. The 28/1.8 really holds it's own against the 85. Btw,you mentioned the 85/1.8's only weakness... strong fringing at apertures under f2.5 in some circumstances.
I think you nailed the WB, and the problem with the "red" areas is a VERY common one in hockey rinks. I get the exact same thing. It's all that damn mixed lighting. I didn't even notice the overexposed helmets until you pointed it out because I was admiring the perfect exposure of the uniforms. Very good job indeed.
You are so lucky to be able to be on the other side of the glass. I hate how much shooting thru plexi degrades the shot.
This is great practice for the upcoming season! I can't wait to get into the rink this fall. I have contemplated getting into shape and lacing up the skates myself. But then again, I may have more fun with the camera

Well the Diavel recall special is getting its marching orders. Just had enough of the Ducati Fragility. So have ordered the k13shp will collect soon. Have got the number plate off d.v.l.a. K13HPS Cos im a sad git as well. The only doubts about having it. Is im sure this is the final year for this model and i know I will be Peeved when the new model replaces it. And it also means you get less resale value when you come to sell. So im having a rethink cos im so Decisive. Might go for a 1600/6cyl. or the rather sensible RT. ANYTHINGS BETTER THAN THAT Chinese Italian Ducati. (The build quality is better) My Arse

BALTIMORE (AP) -- It was 200 years ago this summer that a Baltimore flag-maker stitched the flag that inspired America's national anthem. Now, hundreds of people are helping recreate the star-spangled banner.
The project began July 4 in Baltimore, and it is expected to take volunteers six weeks to hand sew the estimated 150,000 stitches in the famous flag. When finished, it will be about a quarter of the size of a basketball court.
The public gets a chance to help with the sewing Saturday and again next week. Hundreds have signed up to participate.
