Can you help make this a better article? What good localities have we missed? Can you supply pictures of better specimens than those we show here? Can you give us more and better information about the specimens from these localities? Can you supply better geological or historical information on these localities?
Below are some preliminary notes I have made about Arsenuranylite . This entry and thread has been made as a place holder for information that you will hopefully contribute about Arsenuranylite . It should be in no way be thought of as a claim I have staked out to write about this mineral, and in fact is an invitation for someone to step forward and create the article about this mineral. If you are so inclined and have questions about the format that such an article should have, go the The welcome topic at the top of the Best Minerals forum and read what has been posted there. Also take a look at some of the more mature articles that have already been written like Rhodochrosite, Adamite, Millerite etc. You will need also to pick out other images of Arsenuranylite that will go into the article.

"The mineral occurs in lichen-like deposits, color more orange than that of phosphuranylite. Under the microscope appears as extremely fine yellow scales. …The mineral occurs in the oxidation zone of a deposit containing arsenic-bearing sulfide (no locality given as usual), associated with metazeunerite, uranospinite, and nováčekite, which it replaces; it is replaced by shoepite and paraschoepite."2 During the cold war the Russians treated mineral deposits as national secrets, especially uranium mines. Michael Fleischer was the person who abstracted the entry in the American Mineralogist from which this entry was taken, and his comment "as usual" was his way of expressing irritation at the secretive ways of the Russian state.

How to get users to contribute on a creativity platform
Let's loosely define creativity platforms as platforms that allow creators to express themselves, and possibly get an audience for their 'creations'. YouTube, Dribbble, 500px, Instagram, Flickr… the list goes on. A platform without creators is a ghost town and there is little incentive for consumers to use it. Replicating the technology of YouTube is a [...]
Putting The Market Before The Product
A platform usually needs a burst of activity to gain traction, leading to enough interactions among the users. Such bursts of activity require a large group of users to simultaneously arrive. As a result, building a potential market beforehand is critical in case of platforms. This post discusses platforms that executed this successfully.
Exclusivity: The Antisocial Way To Seed A Social Product
Gmail's exclusivity was a masterstroke from Google that enabled it to enter and dominate a product space as commodifed as email. But Google Wave was a dud. What does it take for exclusivity to work?
Conquer Your Micro-Universe: Choosing Your Harvard
Mark Zuckerberg started with Harvard and went on to conquer the globe. Choosing the right micro-universe can set you on the path to success just as choosing the wrong one can yield little more than a brief spill in the vanity metrics pool.
Conquer Your Micro-Universe – Part 1
Platforms that get big always start by deliberately staying small till they spark transactions. Getting critical mass in a smaller set (a micro-universe) is considerably easier than in a larger set.
Viral Growth: How Paypal, Youtube And StumbleUpon Gained Rapid Traction Through Piggybacking
A great way to seed a network is to leverage another. Piggyback on a thriving network as long as your platform is contextual and complementary to that network.
Chicken and Egg Problem: How To Make a Two-Sided Market One-Sided
Seeding two-sided networks is complicated as you have to simultaneously target two different groups. But you can solve it by targeting just one group if you choose your target users carefully.

You have one or more unread System Notifications. Please read them as soon as possible.
GameFAQs, with thousands upon thousands of FAQs, walkthroughs, codes, tips, information, and discussion forums on just about every video game ever made, is one of the largest such sites. Merged with GameSpot back in 2004, much to the annoyance of some users. As of 2012, this has changed and GameFAQs is one site again.This site is home to pretty much every type of online persona known to man, and many other fan-based tropes such as Fan Dumb, and Unpleasable Fanbase. In addition to this, they also named the tropes Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action (after a meme on the Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire board), and 8.8 (a reaction to a GameSpot review of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess).In the dark and listless times before the Internet, game designers were able to hide the Infinity+1 Sword in such a way that it took years to find. They could keep you from the end of the game in any arbitrary way they liked, or they could be just plain mean. And if you wanted to scoop all the last bits of juicy goodness out of your games, you needed the Official Guide (at the low, low price of $14.99).Thankfully, all that's changed now. Websites have sprung up where dedicated gamers can get together and pore over every screen for the smallest clues, fight every fight a thousand times, try any combination of items, discover as much Min-Maxing methods as possible, and share the resulting knowledge with the world at large. The website in particular is the definitive destination for any game help. If GameFAQs doesn't have anything on a game, the game doesn't exist.
The message boardsOne notable fact about the site is how basic the message boards are compared to others, although there are plugins for browsers which support them which give improved functionality. Rather than the BB code favored by many more recent forums, it still uses HTML (italics and bold text, though in 2012, the ability to quote and place spoiler tags were added), users can preview their message before posting (they have the option of spellchecking it at the same time), and there are no avatars. Most GameFAQs users prefer it that way. Topics automatically get locked if they reach 500 posts, and creating a 500 post topic is considered an achievement of some sorts; indeed, there is a "instant 500 post topic!" meme which is mentioned when a particularly controversial topic is brought up. To make up for this, every game and system announced has its own board, plus there are a ton of social boards, regional boards, topical boards, and private boards. The unused boards for relatively obscure old games are often located by "board hunters" and turned into unofficial social boards as well. Some of the more well known social boards include the following:
Social boards
Special interest boards
Dead game boards
Regional boards
Private boards
Account suicidesMembers who are bored or wanting to leave with a bang will try to either break every rule as much as possible until they are stopped by the moderators, or break the more serious rules like posting links to porn. Often, both will be attempted simultaneously. People may also openly joke that they are under the age of 13, which results in an instant ban since there is a federal law saying you have to be at least 13 in order to register on the forums. In fact, the whole rule of being underaged is such Serious Business by the moderators that even jokingly saying you're still a fetus will get you banned very quickly (although this was changed recently). Most members usually pay no mind to someone attempting to account suicide, but there have been a few that posted in such a way that people encouraged the behavior before the user met the banhammer. In these cases, the phrase "suicide is your only option" is commonly used, in reference to a time when account suicide was, in fact, the only way to get your account deactivated (the ability to have an account closed rather than banned has since been restored). When LUE was at its height, account suicides were very prevalent and came to be known as LUEicide. When LUE was sealed off, the LUEicide phenomenon trailed off because getting a LUE-access account banned meant that you could never go back to LUE under any circumstances.
The Terms of UseThe site is known for having incredibly harsh rules concerning Spoilers. Spoil At Your Own Risk is heavily enforced for pretty much any game that hasn't hit its release date yet (mostly due to the site's strong anti-piracy stance). Spoilers Off is completely averted, and there is no statute of limitations for spoilers on GameFAQs and people have been punished for posting the endings of Shakespeare plays. Exceptions include historical events, or any plot revelations which have been used by their publishers in advertisement: for example, the fact that Darth Vader is Luke's father is not considered a spoiler.Speaking of Digital Piracy Is Evil, the site has a very strict stance when it comes to discussing borderline legal/illegal subjects like ROMs and emulators. While it is obvious that posting links to get content illegally will get you moderated, sometimes, just talking about them without giving any links may get you moderated just for referencing it, even if the activity in question is perfectly legal. Same thing with any kind of console Homebrew (even iPhone jailbreaking after jail breaking became explicitly legal in the U.S. falls under this, as violations of the license agreement falls under "illegal activities")note A prevalant problem on the boards are fad topics. Sometimes, someone may see a certain topic and try to recreate it in a new topic with a spin on it. This in turn can cause people to copycat and do the same thing, producing a huge chain list of similar topics filled with nonsense. The Super Smash Bros. Brawl board at one point had a fad topic outbreak so bad that the moderators for just that board imposed a 10 point karma loss and a warning on the user's account if they posted a fad topic in the board.The moderation system is infamous because its Kafka-esque rules allows the mods to be extremely inconsistent. Some mods are like robots and will mod like the TOU was the Bible; for example, it's possible to get modded for quoting a flame directed at you because the TOU says not to repost violations. On the other side of the spectrum, you have mods — often veteran ones — that are actually smart and look at the context of posts. A mod on this side will not mod you for quoting a flame directed at you (usually). Because of the inconsistencies, there are many users who are confused and/or annoyed that they got modded for something and everyone else isn't for the same thing no matter how many posts they mark. The moderation system is also infamous for dealing strictly with minor infractions, but being extremely tolerant of trolls (perhaps because of the difficulty in distinguishing between trolls pretending to be idiots and people who really are that stupid).
ReviewsFinally, reviews. Anyone with an account in good standing can submit a review as long as it meets the word count requirement (and for more detailed review types, discusses enough facets of the game). The word count requirements and inability to rate without a written review weeds out most of the obvious "this sucks: 1/10" and "this is awesome: 10/10" and Single-Issue Wonk reviews, though a few infamous "troll" reviews have been accepted (such as a PSP review consisting purely of the word "crap" repeated enough to meet the word count requirement, or one for Mafia 2 with blatant fake "typos" such as Graphics>Gravy), though are generally removed the next weekday after the boards have had their laugh at the administrator's mistake(s).
GameFAQs vs. GameSpotCNet (home of GameSpot) purchased GameFAQs in the early 2000s and merged the two game sites' message boards. It was possible to access the same boards from either website, but the GameSpot version of the GUI is more advanced, allowing for in-thread pictures and avatars. The merger spawned a Fandom Rivalry that continues to this day, with the stereotype being that GameSpot users are the How Do I Shot Web? clueless newbies, and the GameFAQs users being the �Stop Having Fun� Guys of the boards. It died down, however, with the overwhelming majority still being GameFAQs users, and as of 2012, the two sites are no longer merged.Has its own Fan Wiki here (some boards have Wikis as well!).

• Enhancing government performance & increasing civic engagement
• Increasing public safety & homeland security
A national broadband policy that recognizes the tremendous societal benefit that can be served by focusing on increased access and less barriers to entry is welcome. For that matter, a national broadband policy that defines standards would be welcome; as was postulated by Internet Media Pundit Shelly Palmer, last summer.
Broadband and communications technology can only help in the birthing and growth of new ventures, which are the sole source of all net job gains today. Increasing access to educational resources, mentoring, and funding, are likewise helping launch new firms. A cogent national broadband policy can accelerate these activities at this critical time in our economic recovery.

Buyer Beware!!!!
By DJT
from Val des Monts, Quebec
I received this as a birthday present and after wearing it a half-dozen times the black rhodium plating has worn off the back of the pendant and on the chain. The worst thing though, is that the chain broke where it is attached to the clasp. If I hadn't been home at the time I would probably have lost some if not most of the little black beads. I am very cautious and gentle with all my pieces. For the price, I would have expected much better quality. I will never buy (or ask for!!) any item from this line again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Born out of a bunch of songs written a bedroom somewhere in the vibrant warehousing district of London's Manor House comes Bleach Blood. This is Jamie's complied love of 70's (post) punk, dance, electronica and pop music.
Along with the thundering beats of Invisible Frank, Charlie Elliot synthed up bass lines and touring guitarist Paul Mullen's math psych guitars, expect honest songs about love, loss, escapism, friendship and whatever else falls out of their collective heads.

A Turkish court has ordered the immediate release of ex-military chief Ilker Basbug, who was sentenced to life imprisonment last year for plotting to overthrow the government, his lawyer said.
The decision on Friday came a day after Turkey's top constitutional court ruled that Basbug's legal rights had been violated.
Ilkay Sezer, Basbug's lawyer, said that the verdict was significant, adding that Basbug "will walk free three hours later".
Basbug was sentenced to life in prison in 2013, along with hundreds of military officers who were given long terms for their role in the so-called "Ergenekon" conspiracy, an alleged plot to overthrow the government.
The military, which sees itself as the guarantor of Turkey's secular principles, has carried out three coups - in 1960, 1971 and 1980 - and pressured an Islamist government to step down in 1997.
The Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has previously tried to curb the military's influence in Turkey, has recently sought to get the army back on his side as he fights for political survival in a bitter feud with his ally-turned-opponent Fethullah Gulen, whom he accuses of masterminding a fraud scandal to topple him.
In a conciliatory gesture towards the army that further increases the chances of retrials for the hundreds of convicted officers, the parliament in February abolished the specially appointed courts that tried them.
The constitutional court's ruling could set a precedent for more than 200 others jailed for their alleged roles in coup-plotting. Key test
"I hope the decision will set a precedent and other victims - some suffering from grave health problems - will be released immediately," lawyer Sezer said earlier on Friday.The mass coup trial, seen as a key test in Erdogan's showdown with secularist and military opponents, polarised the country, with critics denouncing it as a witch hunt to stifle dissenting voices.The government now appears keen to blame Gulen for the trials against the military. An advisor to the prime minister recently suggested that Gulen supporters masterminded the trials. The influential Gulen movement was a key backer of Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) when it first came to power in 2002.But the alliance shattered after police raids in December, in which dozens of Erdogan's key business and political allies were detained on corruption allegations. Erdogan has accused followers of Gulen in the police and the judiciary of concocting the investigation to unseat his government in a crucial election year.Gulen has lived in the eastern US state of Pennsylvania since he left Turkey in 1999 to escape prosecution on charges of "anti-secular activities".
Basbug was a staunch defender of the military in its showdown with the government, calling the trials a "black stain" on the country's history.

'The State of the Nation's Housing' reveals complicated picture
The State of the Nation's Housing is, in a word, complicated.
Housing markets are showing signs of reviving, concluded "The State of the Nation's Housing" report released by the Cambridge, Mass.-based Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. But we're not out of the woods, yet.
"While still in the early innings of a housing recovery, rental markets have turned the corner, home sales are strengthening, and a floor is beginning to form under home prices," said Eric Belsky, managing director of the Joint Center for Housing Studies. "With new-home inventories at record lows, unless the broader economy goes into a tailspin, stronger sales should further stabilize prices and pave the way for a pickup in single-family housing construction over the course of 2012."
Rental markets are on the mend thanks to sharp drops in construction and an increase of over 4.4 million renters since 2005. Rental vacancy rates are falling, rents are increasing, and multi-family construction is up solidly. In contrast, the nation's homeownership rate continues to slide.
"Surveys consistently find that the overwhelming majority of young adults plan to own a home in the future, but many would-be buyers have stayed on the sidelines waiting for the job outlook to improve and house prices to stop falling," Belsky said. "But as markets tighten, these fence-sitters may begin to take advantage of today's lower home prices and unusually low mortgage rates. With rents up, home prices sharply down, and mortgage interest rates at record lows, monthly mortgage costs relative to monthly rents haven't been this favorable since the early 1970s."
Chief among the statistical analysis running through the report is the idea that owner-occupied market is seeing signs of recovery. Sales of newly constructed homes in the first quarter of 2012 were up 16.7% from the previous year -- this after a record low of just 306,000 in 2011.
In 1990, the NAR Affordability Index stood at 108.1. In 2011, it jumped up to 186.1.
The report also points to headwinds:
• Upwards of 2.0 million homes are in some stage of foreclosure in early 2012;
• Real net household wealth fell $14.3 trillion from 2006 to 2011, dragged down by a 57% drop in housing wealth; and
• 33% of the National Association of Realtors' member brokers reported contract failures in December 2011, compared with just 9% a year earlier.
The 40-page report covers the yin and yang of home prices and housing affordability, and cautions that the homeowner market faces numerous challenges. The report begins with the sentence: "After several false starts, there is reason to believe that 2012 will mark the beginning of a true housing market recovery."

An elderly woman is rescued from flood waters in North Curry, Somerset. [Reuters]
After days of heavy rain, leading to swollen rivers, the last thing the UK needed was another storm. But that is exactly what it got as a deep depression caused widespread flooding and disruption through Saturday and into Sunday morning.In the most serious incident, a woman in Exeter, Devon was killed when she was hit by a falling tree. Two other people were injured in the incident. This comes less than 48 hours after a man was drowned after the car he was driving was swept under a bridge as he attempted to ford a stream in Chew Stoke, Somerset.The weekend storm has seen a combination of torrential rain and strong winds wreak havoc across the Southwest, the Southeast and parts of the Midlands.The Southwest has experienced the most savage weather with the Environment Agency issuing four severe flood warnings in Cornwall, suggesting an imminent danger to life. Parts of the region have experienced over 100mm of rain in under a week.There has been significant transport disruption around the country. Sections of the M5, M48, M50 motorways were closed because of flooding whilst the M25, the orbital motorway around London, was closed at the QE2 bridge in Kent because of high winds.The gale to severe gale force winds have also disrupted ferry services across the English Channel.Rail services have not escaped the bad weather with the service between Exeter and Newton Abbot disrupted by a landslip and the rail operators have warned of likely problems between Taunton, Exeter and Bristol Temple Meads until Monday.The Environment Agency and Met Office had warned of such events at the beginning of November. After the wettest April to June on record, plus wet spells during July, September and October, river levels were already elevated.The two organisations predicted river flooding during November and December plus surface flooding as a result of high groundwater levels.They issued specific warnings for Devon, one of the counties worst affected over the last few days.Fears for further flooding in the next few days remain high. Another frontal system is expected to bring more rain later on Sunday and into Monday. Although predicted totals are only in the range 10 to 20mm, the critical current situation is such that any rain could cause a rapid deterioration in the situation.

May 1st is Moving Day (or at least it used to be)
This was really the worst traffic day in New York each year, as thousands of people shuffled around with their possessions. The first moving services for hire were essentially Long Island farmers with wagons to rent.
"High rents, incommodious dwellings, & necessity combine to crowd our streets with carts overloaded with furniture & hand barrows with sofas, chairs, sideboards, looking glasses & pictures, so as to render the sidewalks almost impassable," said John Pintard in 1833.
So what happened to Moving Day? The subway changes everything, basically, as did the construction of new homes in boroughs outside of Manhattan. By 1913, the Evening World discovered: "[t]he rapid transit facilities have enabled hundreds to move further out, and east side landlords say they have more vacant apartments than ever before. Hence rents are cheaper and fewer are unable to pay up."
Somebody should tell JL Kesner's Department Store on Sixth Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets. Their 1913 advertisement in that same issue featured the following:

Are you guys getting many of the old newspaper clips that you post on the blog from the NY Public library archives, or from the web? As this New Yorker now lives in So. Cal. can I find old articles like these as you two do?ReplyDelete
Since discovering you guys late last year, I finally got caught up on all the podcasts and now cannot wait until the next new one that I will listen to at work this week. YAY!!!!! I am wanting to start re-listening to some of MY favs and they are all train related.
Are there some things that still exist in Queens that have any history to it? Just wondering.
Thanks to you both for this fun walk back in time to the greatest city in this country: NYC!!!!!!!!!

Haha! I love the old ad at the end. I wonder if they used interstate moving companies back in the day. I'm sure it would make moving a whole lot easier!ReplyDelete
Wow! Most people know May 1 is Labour Day. Anyway, this is new information for the readers. Thanks for sharing it.ReplyDelete

Richland Unveiled: AMD Releases the New A10-5750M
AMD Exposes Richland
When we first heard about "Richland" last year, there was a little bit of excitement from people. Not many were sure what to expect other than a faster "Trinity" based CPU with a couple extra goodies. Today we finally get to see what Richland is. While interesting, it is not necessarily exciting. While an improvement, it will not take AMD over the top in the mobile market. What it actually brings to the table is better competition and a software suite that could help to convince buyers to choose AMD instead of a competing Intel part.
From a design standpoint, it is nearly identical to the previous Trinity. That being said, a modern processor is not exactly simple. A lot of software optimizations can be applied to these products to increase performance and efficiency. It seems that AMD has done exactly that. We had heard rumors that the graphics portion was in fact changed, but it looks like it has stayed the same. Process improvements have been made, but that is about the extent of actual hardware changes to the design.
The new Richland APUs are branded the A-5000 series of products. The top end is the A10-5750M with HD-8650 integrated graphics. This is still the VLIW-4 based graphics unit seen in the previous Trinity products, but enough changes have been made with software that I can enable Dual Graphics with the new Solar System based GPUs (GCN). The speeds of these products have received a nice boost. As compared to the previous top end A10-4600, the 5750 takes the base speed from 2.3 GHz to 2.5 GHz. Boost goes from 3.2 GHz up to 3.5 GHz. The graphics portion takes the base clock from 496 MHz up to 533 MHz, while turbo mode improves over the 4600 from 685 MHz to 720 MHz. These are not staggering figures, but it all still fits within the 35 watt TDP of the previous product.
One other important improvement is the ability to utilize DDR-3 1866 memory. Throughout the past year we have seen memory densities increase fairly dramatically without impacting power consumption. This goes for speed as well. While we would expect to see lower power DIMMs be used in the thin and light categories, expect to see faster DDR-3 1866 in the larger notebooks that will soon be heading our way.
Click here to read more about AMD's Richland APUs!
As mentioned before, the majority of the gains we see today are the work of low level software optimizations. The original Trinity had a fairly complex scheme to keep clockspeeds high, balance out power needs, and to keep it all under 35 watts TDP when it comes to heat production. The die has quite a few temperature sensors throughout the design, and these provide feedback as to what unit is heating up and what is idle. The software that controls all this then determines what area needs to be clocked down, what can be clocked up, and how to maximize performance determined by workloads.
AMD has several improvements under differing operations that allows them to increase overall clockspeeds, enable turbo modes to last longer, and balance out CPU and GPU workloads more effectively. They have increased the number of P states (clock vs. voltage) so it is more finely grained. This should allow the processor to more adequately respond to performance needs, instead of making a larger jump to the next P state, it takes a smaller one from the previous state. This again is aimed at maximizing power and clockspeed given a certain workload. The algorithms dictating if the CPU or GPU gets more power and speed have been overhauled as well. AMD claims that these new algorithms can more adequately adjust for corner cases where both units may be bottlenecked, but can correctly decipher which unit actually will show the greatest performance increase by loosening the performance bottleneck.
Finally we get to the operating system level software enhancements that AMD is introducing. These are somewhat interesting, depending on the usage expected from these parts. These are new programs that promise to allow more functionality and flexibility than previous notebook parts have provided. The first is AMD Gesture Control. This does exactly what one would think it would. With a webcam enabled notebook the user can set it up to make gestures correspond to commands. Things such as a hand wave can turn a page on an e-book. The downside to this is if a person is jamming out to "Stop, In the Name of Love" and keeps interrupting the playback with their motions. There is no colorful metaphor app as of yet from AMD.
Other enhancements in software bundle includes AMD Face Login, AMD Screen Mirror (sharing media at low latencies to a variety of playback options), AMD Quick Stream (media streaming that takes priority over networks so no hiccups will occur), AMD Steady Video (already available through Catalyst), and AMD Perfect Picture HD (de-interlacing, contrast enhancement, color saturation, and vibrancy). At first glance these appear to be a bit underwhelming, but consider that they all will be bundled with the new Richland APUs. Intel currently has no software bundle to compare it to.
Richland is not the second coming. It still looks like a very interesting product. AMD certainly is willing to shake things up a bit, and this refresh is coming hard and fast. AMD expects mobile Richland processors to be available in end user products by next month. Low voltage version for ultra-thins should be available before the end of 1H 2013. AMD has no real choice but to release improved products on an aggressive schedule. Make no mistake, Richland is an improvement over Trinity. Now users just have to judge what is more important to them when it comes to usage and features. AMD certainly has the edge in graphics and software, but Intel still has overall CPU performance and power consumption.
No, I do not have a hatred against AMD-make chips.
I absolutely LOVE the 1100T and the 980T, both of which were EXCELLENT chips.
But I do NOT appreciate ANYTHING BullDozer or PileDriver or hardcockdriver or whatever... because since I know the architecture sucks, I know the end result will also BE INFERIOR to competition. Period. End of story. And no amount of moronic and pointless words you throw at me is going to change that.
I know I'm being drug into the troll trap, but I can't help it...
Kind sir, can you point out which words I used were 'pointless and moronic'?
Yes the CSA architecture present in Bulldozer and Piledriver are less efficient than the Stars architecture, but you must have forgotten that Stars started off being worse clock-for-clock than K8.
So, you hate Bulldozer and its derivatives, but why do you present your point in such a way?
AMD, unfortunately, can not just throw out CSA and start fresh, and it is entirely within the realm of possibility that Stars would've hit an efficiency wall.
K8? LOL. WTF do I care how some CPU performed 5-10 years ago?
I'm done here.
This John Doe guy is a real life representation of those 'Extreme Advertising' meme's. He's like some installation art piece.
When you spend at least 15-20 grand on PC hardware alone maybe you'll then understand my points.
You spend between $15,000, and $20,000 on hardware? Wow, You really do show Your ignorance of 'Computers'. All of Your comments are filled with vitriol, and cussing, which in turn shows how low Your IQ is; please leave--'Intel employee troll' this site reviews Intel, as well as AMD. Remember, when ignorant people are unable to have a civil discussion (albeit about processors of all things) they resort to cussing and name calling because they want to argue with someone; please put down Your 24th bottle of Beer and go to rehab. Josh, i have been coming to this site for a long time, and watch, and/or listen to the podcasts, and enjoy them; YOU all talk about every brand pretty equally, keep up the good work.
The hardware I own is WAY beyond is little imagination.
'Intel employee troll' eh? I've owned BOTH Intel and AMD machines over the various years and am speaking ALL from personal first hand experience. And if you have a gram of brain to comprehend my posts (which you don't seem to), then you might actually understand my points.
I am the one that that talks about 'every brand equally'. Not that guy that goes on podcasts every once in a while. You're a fool. Those guys are ALL PAID to talk the way they do. Every single stream you watch on this site is a GIANT and OBVIOUS MARKETING attemp at SELLING PRODUCTS. But you are appereantly too ignorant or dumb to comprehend any of this.
Let me ask you just this, WHO makes money by writing these blog posts? Me, or the guy you believe so crounchly in?
It is that guy you swear after's JOB to write these articles. You're an idiot. I do nothing other than spending my time helping people out 7/24 on these stupid forums. You moron. Appreciate my knowledge and the help I regularry offer to people. It is, again, WAY and FAR beyond your little imaginary mind.
You help people with 'IT' by cussing at them, and calling them names? Wow, very helpful, very helpful indeed. Also, review sites do need to take in some income, as there are expenses to be paid; 'Business 101'. Everything You have written so far in Your rant, has helped no one, except for Your deep-seeded need to be heard. I am now no longer responding to You, as it is pointless, just as when I am conducting a Deposition, and the Doctor and/or Nurse keep repeating the same answer, without actually answering the said question. Now ignoring john doe.
Please do because I do not give a single shit whether you take my word or not.
No shit that review sites need income. Re-read my previous replies you moron. That is exactly what I explained.
Glad that you are ignoring me. Time to crank some good shit.
Mr. John Doe also suffers from "I HAVE to have the last word" syndrome. Refer to my previous reply about those who insist on proving themselves to be a fool.
Oh and, if you happen to come across Les Tokar, please tell that fat fucker that I say "FUCK YOU" and I am NOT reviewing an SSD for him in a million years.
Is there any ETA for the desktop part of Richland?
As it looks more intresting then the current Trinity parts for HTPCs.
I am also interested in the Kabini SoC, thats gone replace Brazos 2.0, and hope its not neutered for HTPC use.
And if its not neutered, i think this will be the next main HTPC solution.
I think around Computex is when desktop Richland will be put out.
Top TDP Kabini looks pretty interesting in a HTPC scenario. Will see how that shakes out here in probably a month or so.
Nice article Josh!
I saw your "discussion" with the Unknown guy(John Doe) and his ramblings on Piledriver being the same as Bulldozer.
Here it is, facts finally:
Hardware.fr tested both at fixed clock(4GHz),all other things being equal(board,memory,GPU,HDD). They have concluded that in applications(not games), PD has 7.7%(1.3% to 16.7) IPC improvement over BD,both at 4Ghz. In games, PD has even higher IPC advantage,a significant 13.5% (8.1% to 20.8%) ! Average comes down to 10.6% which is very significant IPC jump for a mere "quick fix". Couple this with higher average OC numbers Vishera can reach Vs Bulldozer and overall lower power draw when both are OCed and you get a "tock" in intel's terms ;).
So as all can see, facts are facts and fiction is fiction . John Doe obviously lives in dreamland where fiction is fact and vice versa.
That shitty site can't turn off Turbo you dumb fuck.
If you re-read my previous replies, maybe you can get a clue or two.
The TURBO is done inside the chip with AMD CPU's. You CAN NOT turn the Turbo off on AMD chips like you can with Intel.
More so, the fact that you don't know who I am just goes to show how fucking clueless you are.
Also, that site is a fucking piece of shit.
Yes, you can turn Turbo off on AMD chips. It really is the only way you can get the chips to go over 4.4 GHz anyway.
Seriously, ease up on the insults and language.
I will GTFO out of this site ASAP...
going over JonnyGuru like just about right nau.
This place is FULL of dumb ignorant suckers...
at least you're a nice guy, which is something... lol. Sigh.
Best bit of Richland news is that the A10-5750m should be a drop-in replacement for the A10-4600m, which itself can replace the A6-4400m.
Now that's what I call an upgrade ! :)
Ditch that POS and get a 2500K with a USED P67 board.
Now that's what I call an "upgrade".
You can turn off Turbo Johny boy. It's a fact. It can controlled by a BIOS,just as power management can be controlled by BIOS. Check AMD's BIOS and kernel guide for family 15h and all will be clear. Again facts are facts and fiction is fiction. Johny boy seems like a very very angry and unhappy person which I'm sad to see. Here is some candy for you to feel a bit better :)
"Johny boy" is throwing Ronnie Montrose solos. Johny boy is older than you. Johny boy is WAY over you.
Also, Johny boy doesn't eat garbage food.
Suck my 8 inch weasel.
Johny boy is acting like a kid when proven wrong,is putting hands over ears and singing "lalalalala". Not surprised at all ;).
French homo fuckers can suck my weasel all the way in as far as I am concerned.
You have "cock" too much on your mind man, very interesting.
I'm a stud in RL.
I'm not like the majority of geek fuckers you see on these sites.
No I meant I sense a weird attraction to "cocks" in your case. In psychology it's called latent homosexual. Sorry man.
Fuck you, fucking dumb French fucker.
Suck it all the way in.
Yep that's what I thought. 100% latent homosexual.
PS I'm not French but that doesn't change your diagnosis.Sorry.

On Monday evening, it was made official that Mutewatch is one of the winners of the Red Dot Design Award. We are so proud! Here is Mutewatch CEO Mai-Li Hammargren at the Gala in Essen, Germany.
Lionel Riley is one of our beta watch winners. He lives in Paris and works with design, music and media in general and with communication strategies at DotYou. Lionel read the book The Now Habit and the Unschedule about overcoming procrastination and started googling "vibrating watch". After a while, he found Mutewatch. The next best alternative was a (not-so-user-friendly) G-shock that was practically impossible to get a hold of.
About Mutewatch, Lionel says it's not just the product that he likes; he loves the way we work.
"A lot of people call themselves entrepreneurs you guys are far more than just the common "entrepreneur with a business plan". You are passionate people driven by a strong ideal and a sharp vision, and obsessed by both quality, style and enjoying doing what you do. The fact that you started your own project before being exposed to the radiation of "normal working life" is cool you are more likely to stay true to your vision and listen to your little inner voice."
Lionel also says "Thank god I don't have to wear this" haha.
Congratulations to the winners of our beta Mutewatch competition: Carlos Castreño Muñoz, Daniel Marfurt, Eric Berlinberg, Fredric Mitchell, Ken Hanson, Lionel Riley, Mark Hasten, Mihai Codleanu and Yuki Kodama!!!
The category three winners – where the contestants had to come up with ideas of how they would help us spread the word about Mutewatch via Facebook/Twitter/media of choice were:
Fredric Mitchell:
I will use my Mutewatch to awaken me for my marathon training to support cancer in honor of my late mother-in-law!!
Eric Berlinberg:
I'll use my Mutewatch everyday at work as the recently elected Student Body President of my University! Your watch will be in the newspaper, on tv, thousands of students will see it every day all over campus!
Mark Hasten:
The Mutewatch would be really beneficial to me because I constantly find myself in loud places (clubs, bars, house parties) because I DJ for a living. I could use it to keep me on time, remind me when it's my turn, make reminders to call people, set an alarm to remind me to make announcements during my set, and keep me from staying out too late.
Thank you all for participating, it has been amazing reading all your comments!!
// Livia and the Mutewatch Team

I'm loving the new look Play.com website. I have to say I think Play.com has stolen the edge on Amazon with this new version.
The navigation, its slick, smooth and very easy to use. The rollover on the top-level categories looks good and offers the visitor a simplistic choice of continuing their journey around the Play.com site.
The nice thing is Play.com have not just copied their biggest rivals, they have done things their own way.
I am not sure if the design boys will agree with me or not, but I had a quick look at the source and thought it could be just a little cleaner, but really that is me just being a perfectionist.
That aside, the team at Play have pulled an improved look out of the bag.
So now there is even more reason to visit Play.com during work time, you can tell the guv'nor you are doing some honest sire design research! - Play.com

Levi Michael Carlberg Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Montana announced today that during a federal court session in Missoula, on January 26, 2010, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch, LEVI MICHAEL CARLBERG, a 35-year-old resident of Libby, appeared for sentencing. CARLBERG was sentenced to a term of:
- Probation: 18 months
- Special Assessment: $45
- Fine: $1,000
CARLBERG was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to damage to government property, operating a vehicle on a closed road and operating a vehicle off road.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Racicot, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On September 4, 2008, Forest Service Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) investigated an anonymous tip that CARLBERG had constructed a hunting camp in the Kootenai National Forest. The LEOs found recent all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) tracks on Forest Road 4874 in an area closed to motor vehicle use. The LEOs placed a Bushnell brand trail camera to observe the area.
On September 17, 2008, an LEO discovered the camera was missing. On September 24, 2008, LEOs located a salt block in the closed area of Road 4874. They also located an ATV trail, which left the roadway and traveled approximately one-eighth of a mile to a campsite. Later investigation revealed approximately thirty-two trees of varies species and size had been cut to make the trail. All of the trees were estimated to be less than eight inches in diameter. At the campsite, the LEOs found a fire ring and unattended equipment, including a steel storage box.
On September 30, 2008, a witness was interviewed who described traveling to CARLBERG'S camp on September 5, 2008, where he met CARLBERG and another individual. The witness saw CARLBERG use the steel storage box, and the three left the camp together on September 7, 2008.
On October 8, 2008, CARLBERG was interviewed and admitted the following:
• July or beginning of August, 2008;
• ATV around an earth and rock barrier and continued driving on Road 4874 knowing that it was closed;
• LEOs;
• Road 4874 and the campsite; and,
CARLBERG also admitted that he found a trail camera near Road 4874, took it down, opened it, and discovered "USFS Property" written inside the case. He admitted that he hid the camera in the area and took the memory card. CARLBERG accessed the memory card and viewed the photos taken by using a computer at his father's house.
On October 8, 2008, CARLBERG returned the photo memory card. He led LEOs to the area he had hidden the camera. The camera was recovered after a brief search.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that CARLBERG will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, CARLBERG does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Law Enforcement and Investigations Division of the U.S. Forest Service.

Byon September 17, 2010
The reporter who covered the Blagojevich trial for The Politics Blog, John Bohrer, just pointed out something we'd forgotten: Last summer, Delaware's Mike Castle faced one of the first, if not the first, outbursts of the right-wing populism now known as the Tea Party movement. Here's video from a town-hall meeting:
In retrospect, given Castle's Tuesday loss in the GOP primary to Tea
Partier Christine O'Donnell, it's a historic moment, though I am not
sure whether it's simply a neat coincidence or an actual sign of things
that were to come. Regardless, and regardless of what I or Charlie
Pierce think about O'Donnell and the Tea Party, it's evidence of two
facts. First (not that this is a revelation), right-wing populism is a
real force in politics this year, and second, that it takes a spark to
turn that populist tinder into a blaze. There were similar moments at
town halls nationwide over the past 18 months. But there are only a
relative handful Dave Weigel selflessly crunches the numbers of Tea Party candidates now on major-party ballots.
The spark, when it comes, is Sarah Palin. She has not won every contest she gave her flint to, but she has won many of them, and after all my arguments otherwise I am forced to admit that Andrew Sullivan probably has it about right: she is, at this moment, a leading candidate for the Republican nomination in 2012.
And, though without confirmation, the word is she's actually going to run.
However. Two points to raise. First is that the 2010 elections have not yet been held, only the primaries. Election losses by Tea Party candidates, because the candidates are so few and the hype so huge, will register disproportionally as failures of the movement and, by extension, of Palin herself. Furthermore, if you take the 2010 Senate elections I do as the truest barometer of 2012, the picture is not especially appealing to Tea Party supporters. Sharron Angle in Nevada and O'Donnell in Delaware would register as huge upset victories; TP victories in Colorado, Kentucky, Alaska, Florida, and Utah won't look like much more than Republican victories in generally safe Republican states. The revolution and shock, in other words, occurred in the primaries; November is just another election, and in most of these states the outcome will be foregone weeks if not months in advance. All that said, Palin is the original Teflon Mom, a spectacular political quitter and failure who has nonetheless managed to keep her crappy record from sticking. So she could, and possibly would, come out a winner regardless of how the Tea Party actually does this year.
But the heftier point is this: 2010 is not a national election, but 2012 will be. And it will moreover be a national Republican referendum. Palin is not the only member of the GOP who wants the White House, and she won't be the only one running for her party's nomination. She will likely have a few clones hoping to mimic her politics while establishing their own shallow identities (handsome businessman Romney, good Christian Huckabee, serious historian Gingrich). But she will also, I am sure, be facing a different, more mainstream kind of internal opposition. I believe it will be Mitch Daniels, but other hopefuls will undoubtedly arise over the next 12 to 18 months. In any case, at that point the Republican party will be presenting a divided face to the public, and it'll be devil take the hindmost. (I am stunned to find myself in agreement with Ramesh Ponnuru on this.)
The candidates themselves will also be presenting themselves initially to Iowa and New Hampshire, and I do not see starbursts for Palin in either of those states. But even if they go for her, I do not anticipate a straight path to the nomination. The 2008 Democratic nomination, rather, is the model I look to. Hillary versus Barack went on until June went on well past Obama's inevitability. I believe a divided GOP would bring on itself something similar.
Similar, but not the same. Remember the PUMAs? Yeah, neither do I. That mirage might give Tea Partiers hope that a rough path to a Palin nomination will nonetheless be a sure path. But Hillary and Barack were divided by degree, not kind. Whereas the current GOP is divided by a chasm: ideology versus practice, populist versus capitalist, outsider versus insider, mama grizzly versus grizzled veteran. Two years after Karl Rove handed off the eight-year Republican reign he engineered, Sarah Palin is dismissing him as a good ol' boy. This is civil war. The winners, I would guess, will be the ones who aren't even in the fight.

The full interview can not be made public, some things I had to leave out such as other artists in gospel who are gay, but have not made anti-gay rants. Also, a relationship with an R&B legend who, as ?Rob? said, married a ?bisexual?, famous pastor. I only wanted to focus on the relationship with McClurkin and no one else. I am presenting a story for people to make up their own minds.
Disclaimer: This is not my opinion but alleged facts brought to my attention. The facts alleged in this article are the sole expressions from the interviewee and his experiences with the subject. ClayCane.net does not have any independent corroboration of the alleged facts as stated in this article.
Tell me how you first met Donnie McClurkin.
I was at a gospel event backstage. We were introduced?I guess it was just you looked across the room, this person looked at you and you just knew there was something. This person had some type of interest because you walk in and they look at you. You look up throughout the evening and you keep seeing this person staring at you. Emails were exchanged and cell phones numbers were exchanged so that was the beginning. But, it was strictly just music, things in common that type of thing?but for some reason I felt there was an attraction. That was that.
What year was that?
Early 2001.
Did you instantly know that it was Donnie McClurkin?
I knew that because of his prior success with the song "Stand", Oprah Winfrey used to always talk about it. "Stand" came out late like '90's so he was already starting to rise although he had a major group back in the '80's, which Kelly Price was a part of, different people. But, "Stand" was the one that sort of said, okay, let's take notice. So, I already knew who he was.
This may sound like a dumb question but what made you know he wasn't straight. Was he around other gay people? Was it just blatantly obvious? What made you know that he wasn't heterosexual?
Well, in gospel music everyone knows who messes around and who is straight. I've always known it.
It wasn?t just you knew that knew so people in that circle knew that Donnie McClurkin?
Oh yeah! A lot of people know, even some of the heavyweights. Now he's heavyweight, but some of the ones that are well known and highly regarded.
What were your first conversations like?
He'd explain how it is on the road, it's lonely. How sometimes he'd just get in his room and cry. He said, "And you're single?" It came out of nowhere, I said, "Yeah, I am." He said, "Wow, the person that would have you would be lucky." I said, "Well, I guess so, you know, I consider myself a good person." Blah, blah, blah...he said, "What do you think of me?" I said, "I think you're very talented. Handsome, you look good." He said, "You don't sound so sure." I said, "No, you do, you do."
This already doesn?t sound like the ex-gay, gay people are vultures?the Donnie McClurkin we see in the media. We're you aware that he was an "ex-gay" at this point?
I wasn't aware then. "We Fall Down" was really starting to catch everyone's ear. There was talk he was going to start a church out on Long Island.
Was there any talk in your conversations about being gay is wrong; this is an abomination, or conversion?
Early on, no?he would relate it to being lonely. Not being able to be who you really want to be, who you are and that was a little later. I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "Well, I'm in gospel, I have fans, I'm about to start this church and the church has a lot of promise. It can be a big thing", which it ended up being. He said, "I have a position to uphold and I have an image, but the thing is I know who I am and I?m going to have to work on some things; I have some things to work on." I said, "Is it that simple? Can you just work on it like that? Cut on a switch."
When was the first time you were intimate?
Like I said we met winter, the first time was in May.
What was that like?the first time you guys were intimate?
It was uncomfortable because...it was uncomfortable because he gets into role playing, which is of course he's the bottom and he wants you to treat him rough. He wants to talk rough and that's not my demeanor, that's not in me. I can play a role and I did it, but I didn?t feel comfortable because it wasn?t me. I felt stupid actually. Like, what did I just do? It was just strange.
Did you have any foreplay?
It wasn?t that much, it was an embrace, a hug, a kiss and then just immediately something went in another direction. He was like a different person, the tone of his voice. He referred to his ******* as ?p.ussy?. Stuff like that, "You want to f.uck this p.ussy, don't you?" You know that type of thing.
Where did this happen?
This was at a hotel. That was the first experience, but each time I always had to play the role. You get tired of it. He'd often say, "I don't want the lovey dovey stuff." Those were exact words, "I don?t want the lovey dovey stuff, the hugging, the cuddling, I don?t want the lovey dovey stuff?I just want sex." That's how it was and so I sort of knew?this is not going to be anything. Not that I thought it would. I knew this was going to be an occasional thing when time permitted.
But it keeps going, right?
It did, it was off and on, but sometimes when he'd get in his stage of I guess when he'd go in ?remission?. When he didn't want to take the calls, or when he didn?t want to get together. I couldn?t deal with that?not that I felt any strong way toward him. I didn?t know what was going on, I just got on the ride and just decided I?d just ride this thing out and see what's going on and what's going to happen. But, the thing is when he'd go on his moments, on this is wrong, I can?t do this, blah, blah, blah. It was because "We Fall Down" was becoming so popular. The church had just started in the summer of 2001 and they were growing. They started with 350 [members] by the next month it was another 100 onto that. Then another 100 so it was growing.
