Sex offender claims to be living in homeless shelterMarch 27,2013BENNINGTON A Bennington man, who has been charged in New York for rape, sexual assault on a physically helpless person and sexual contact with someone younger than 11, was arraigned Monday for failing to comply with the requirements of the Vermont Sex Offender Registry for a period longer than five consecutive days.
According to an affidavit filed in the case, Christopher Carreau, 33, of Bennington, is currently staying at the homeless shelter on North Street although officials with the Bennington Coalition for the Homeless have identified that shelter as temporary housing designed to be used for only one or two nights at a time.
Carreau pleaded innocent to the charge in Bennington criminal court Monday.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro of the Bennington Police Department said Carreau was convicted in Rennselaer County, N.Y., of first-degree rape in October 2000. The conviction requires Carreau to be registered in Vermont as a sex offender.
Silvestro said he learned from staff at the Vermont Department of Children and Families on March 12 that Carreau was using an address with the sex offender registry that was not his true address.
Silvestro said he interviewed Carreau on March 18 and said Carreau was not continually staying at the address he provided to the registry.
Carreau was released without bail on Monday but ordered not to have contact with children younger than 16 except for contact approved by the Vermont Department of Children and Families.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure.

A Superman movie threatening to make noise at the box office?
It's become a rare occurrence — Superman Returns (2006) is the lone Metropolis movie of the past 25 years – like a blue moon lining up with a red-sun eclipse. But Superman has stayed in our ear thanks to a surprising number of songs that mention him.
In fact, by our count, Clark Kent's alter ego is in more hit songs over the past 50 years than all other superheroes combined – which is doubly impressive considering rivals (especially the grump in Gotham) have soundtracks with hired-gun rock stars.
What is it in Superman grabs the attention of R.E.M., Eminem, Taylor Swift and Barbra Streisand? That's super-easy: Songwriters and star know a bulletproof metaphor when they see it flying past. Here's a rundown on some of the super tunes you might remember: READ FULL STORY

Harlem's first LEED-Silver Designed Housing Development Creates 65 Low-Income Green Residences for Seniors
(NEW YORK – Nov. 30, 2011) – The U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), New York City Dept. of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) and New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) joined Jonathan Rose Companies and Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement (HCCI) to celebrate the ribbon-cutting for Dr. Muriel Petioni Plaza. Previously known as Erbograph Apartments, the building is being named in honor of Dr. Petioni, an active member of HCCI's Board of Directors who has served as a doctor in Harlem for over 60 years. The eight-story, 65-unit building is located at 203 West 146th Street between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. and Frederick Douglass Blvd in the Bradhurst section of Harlem. Dr. Petioni Plaza is Harlem's first LEED-Silver designed affordable housing development for low-income seniors.
Green design features include high-performance mechanical systems, rainwater harvesting, a green roof, non-toxic paints and materials, FSC-certified wood, south-facing sun shades, and EnergyStar lights and appliances. The building is designed to accommodate aging-in-place seniors earning no more than 50% of the area median income, and is fully accessible for individuals with physical disabilities. HCCI will offer health and wellness services to building residents and operating support from the HUD Section 202 program will allow for an on-site social services coordinator.
"Dr. Muriel Petioni Plaza is a remarkable example of what strong partnership, vision, and leadership can achieve. This is exactly the kind of project HUD's Section 202 was created to support, and I am proud HUD was able to provide $9.7 million in funding," said Regional Administrator Adolfo Carrion. "I applaud HCCI, Jonathan Rose Companies, HPD and HCR for creating a development that promotes energy efficiency and sustainability, while providing much needed housing and services for the Harlem community."
"How appropriate that an iconic LEED-Silver designed, senior affordable housing complex should carry the name of an American icon, Dr. Muriel Petioni, who has been blazing trails for more than 70 years," said New York State Homes and Community Renewal Commissioner and CEO Darryl C. Towns. "The Dr. Petioni Plaza project has more than 60 affordable units for very low-income elderly and frail elderly households, with on-site access to health care and social services. This great building deserves to carry the name of the 'The Mother of Medicine in Harlem.' Dr. Petioni was completely ahead of her time as a primary care practitioner who knew that the best care treats the entire patient and not the individual symptoms of an illness. HCR was proud to provide $4.4 million in Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP) funding from the New York State Housing Trust Fund. Dr. Petioni Plaza reflects the commitment of Governor Cuomo and HCR to provide safe and secure affordable housing for our seniors."
Dr. Petioni Plaza was created under the Bloomberg Administration's New Housing Marketplace Plan. The plan, launched by Mayor Bloomberg in 2003, is a multibillion dollar initiative to finance 165,000 units of affordable housing for half a million New Yorkers by the close of the 2014 fiscal year. To date, the plan has funded the creation or preservation of more than 125,700 units of affordable housing across the five boroughs. More than 43,200 units have been financed in Manhattan with more than 10,352 units in Community Board 10 where the 203 West 146th Street site is located.
"Developing affordable housing in this economic climate is not only important but vital, especially for the City's most vulnerable populations who have limited options. Senior citizens in this city often struggle to keep up with the perpetually rising cost of living and maintain fundamentally basic needs," said HPD Commissioner Mathew Wambua. "Because of our partnership with HUD, HCR, Jonathan Rose Companies and HCCI along with our other for-profit and not-for-profit colleagues, we were able to take down an abandoned building and transform this lot into new quality supportive housing for those in need. This housing will ensure these residents will never have to make essential sacrifices in order to have a safe home."
"It has been wonderful developing Dr. Petioni Plaza, the first LEED and Green Communities designed senior affordable housing development in Harlem, with our partner, HCCI," said Jonathan F.P. Rose, President of Jonathan Rose Companies. "The project integrates social services, affordable housing and green design, a model of positive urban redevelopment of a former brownfield."
"Dr. Petioni is a living legend. Her countless contributions to the Harlem community have made it a better, healthier place; and we are so proud to honor her with the establishment of the Dr. Muriel Petioni Plaza," said Dr. Charles Curtis, Ed. D Chairman of HCCI. "Through the development of much needed senior housing and services, HCCI maintains its commitment to provide quality, affordable housing for Harlem. We have developed more than 2000 units of affordable housing, and we will continue until all of New York's housing needs are met."
In the 1980s, Bradhurst, in Central Harlem, had one of the highest concentrations of owner-abandoned properties in the City, all of which were seized by the City in lieu of property tax payments. Over the intervening decades, the City, through HPD, created programs and partnerships that put these in-rem buildings and properties back into private or not-for-profit ownership and productive use as affordable housing. Dr. Petioni Plaza sits on a formerly city-owned site which was occupied by an abandoned film storage warehouse known as the Erbograph building. High levels of asbestos and other contaminants were found at the site and it was designated as a 'Brownfield' location. The development site has gone through extensive remediation in partnership with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
"Thanks to leadership of HCCI, the Jonathan Rose Companies and their successful partnership with community leaders and elected officials, our community will have a new, multi-faceted, energy-efficient facility that will address the health, education and social service needs of our elderly," said Congressman Charles Rangel. "After so many years of hard work and contributions to society, our seniors deserve an affordable, supportive place that will provide the necessary resources to allow them to continue to be active, healthy members of our community."
"Dr. Muriel Petioni has worked all her life to help the people of our community. For her namesake to be this environmentally-conscious project, which will continue to serve our community, is the proper way to carry on her proud legacy," Assemblyman Herman D. Farrell, Jr. said. "It is even better that this building will provide homes to low-income seniors, which by itself is a wonderful thing."
"This is a significant restoration and also a great example of what good practices can do toward reclaiming and transforming potentially hazardous sites into environmentally safe areas where much needed housing and schools can be built. With environmentally sound practices, it shows that we can reclaim our communities and restore buildings like The Erbograph that have architectural merit and put them to work to meet 21st century needs. By re-purposing this building, it also improves the visual aesthetic of our community while preserving its architectural character," said Council Member Robert Jackson.
Designed by Harlem-based architect, Body Lawson Associates, Dr. Petioni Plaza is 62,000 square feet and was built by Lasberg Construction Associates in accordance with environmentally conscious development standards. The project exceeds the NYSERDA Green Affordable Housing Program and Enterprise Green Communities guidelines for environmental responsibility and is expected to achieve LEED Silver designation. The green features of the building will support the health of its residents and help to protect them from rising energy costs.
"Dr. Petioni Plaza is proof that successful economic development can incorporate energy efficiency measures and green building principles to save energy while providing a comfortable, healthy living environment for residents," said Francis J. Murray Jr., President and CEO of NYSERDA. "As Harlem's first LEED-Silver designed affordable housing development for low-income seniors, it is a model that we hope to see replicated more as everyone benefits from a building like this one – the residents, the neighborhood and the community at large."
Green features of Dr. Petioni Plaza include solar shades on the south façade of the building to keep apartments cooler in the summer while allowing winter sunlight into apartments, ENERGY STAR-rated appliances and light fixtures to provide additional savings, and high-efficiency boilers and water-source heat-pumps to conserve energy. The building features a terrace and planted green roof on the 7th floor to provide open space for residents and a rainwater harvesting system to funnel water from the roof into storage tanks to be used for irrigation and cooling-tower make-up, reducing utility costs and storm water run-off. The design features low- or no- VOC paints and primers, healthy floor and wall coverings throughout the building to reduce toxic emissions and create a healthier living environment.
Dr. Petioni Plaza is named in honor of Dr. Muriel Petioni. Dr. Petioni has devoted her life to her profession, her family and her community. She served as President and CEO of The Friends of Harlem Hospital, Inc. for 15 years. During her tenure the hospital raised over $142 million for an endowment fund that dispersed $150,000 to three projects in Harlem Hospital: "Addressing the Needs of Sexually Abused Adolescents," "Falls and Related Injury Prevention for the Elderly," and the "Maternity & Early Childhood Initiative."Dr. Petioni remains active in the Harlem community and presently serves on the several executive boards including the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone; The Greater Harlem Nursing Home and the Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement. Dr. Petioni received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for significant contributions to the nation in recognition for her work in the medical community.
Dr. Petioni stated, "I am very happy that this building is being named after me because it supports my passion for increased services to seniors. This project fulfills and emphasizes the need for housing devoted to seniors and increased services for seniors."
"Naming such a facility after a living legend like Dr. Muriel Petioni is not only fitting but way overdue," Congressman Rangel added. "There can never be enough honors and monuments for a woman who had done so much for this community. She has had a constant impact on our lives both as a primary care physician to millions and as a passionate advocate for quality education and healthcare."
HPD contributed the land for Dr. Petioni Plaza to HCCI for $1, and also provided a repayable seed loan of $1.06 million to fund the remediation and demolition work on the old warehouse. Dr. Petioni Plaza's total development cost of $23.9 million comes from a variety of sources, including $9.7 million from the HUD Section 202 program, $4.4 million in Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP) funding from the New York State Housing Trust Fund, $8.3 million in low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity from Richman Housing Resources, $1.28 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank's Affordable Housing Program through Carver Federal Savings Bank, $153,000 from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), $50,000 from the Enterprise Green Communities Program, and $50,000 from the Home Depot Foundation.
"In 2008, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York partnered with our member, Carver Federal Savings, to provide a $1.28 million Affordable Housing Program grant to help fund the construction of Dr. Muriel Petioni Plaza," said Alfred A. DelliBovi, President of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. "We are proud to join so many of New York's housing visionaries in working together to create this much-needed housing for Harlem's seniors."
"The Dr. Petioni Plaza development is a prime example of terrific public, private, and nonprofit partners coming together to make green, affordable homes happen for Harlem seniors," said Abby Jo Sigal, Vice President and New York Market Leader, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. "Enterprise is committed to ensuring that elderly New Yorkers have safe, sustainable and affordable homes where they can age in place, and proud to support HCCI and Jonathan Rose Companies with an Enterprise Green Communities grant."
HCCI and Jonathan Rose Companies previously partnered with the City of New York on the development of David & Joyce Dinkins Gardens, Harlem's first 100% affordable green housing development for low-income families and youth aging out of foster care, located at 263 West 153rd Street.

"You're assuming everyone has cleared all the current content and is sitting around with nothing to do"
But we have?
Looking for raid tool is enough for casual player to clear content. They dont need normal mode gear because they already run LFR.
Normal mode is enough for semi-casual player to clear content. They dont need normal mode gear in a way if they arent going to heroic modes, which LOT OF guilds dont because they dont want or are simply not able.
They already cleared content and seen and felt it. Whats the point on farming END TIER content because gear will become useless the moment you step into pandaria?
Gear - useless because end tier.
Progress - normal modes were cleared in few weeks even by "slow guilds" who took months to take down T11 and T12 end boss.. Useless to progress because heroics are too huge wall to some guilds unless they nerf em.
Have fun with guild? - Thats only reason to stay unless you are progressing heroic modes.
But you can just make your guildies play free games or something else and save 180 dollars that you would spend on one raid...
Blue Posts and Other WoW News: The endgame is king, and face the blues in rated BGs {WoW}
Jan 14th 2012 7:06AM I think its bit stretch to say that "well you dont outlevel zones if you are not in guild, dont do pvp or dungeons or have any other xp boosts". heirlooms and RFA are ofc something thats ok but I mean come on.
Starting player surely wants to do dungeons and pvp while leveling and I think 1-60 times doing dungeons or pvp is bit too extreme and starting players are most of the time guilded too.
Blue Posts and Other WoW News: The endgame is king, and face the blues in rated BGs {WoW}
Jan 13th 2012 10:51PM Well how should I put reply to the first one..
Theres few problems with the speed of leveling 1-60
One of the obvious ones and what has been said since start of cata. Outleveling zones.
You could go to zone, do all he quests in there till you get achievement for it and be outleveling the zone so that some mobs are gree, some grey. Thats on big zones usually.
Now on worst case scenario, if you want to do that zone for story etc and do only few instances in between you would outlevel not only the current zone but the next one as well! It just feels absurd to me.
I mean who starting player wouldnt want to step into pvp or dungeons while leveling?
I think they should slow down 1-60 but keep 60-85 at the rate its now.
For new players 60-85 might be reasonable speed as the expansions are just leveling zones and BC and wotlk dont have those "ultimate end goals". Also keeps us vets much more at peace.
Speaking of WOTLK leveling. WHY is Utgarde keep the ONLY random dungeon you get from 68 to 75..? I mean by the time you get more the whole random pool even skips Azjol nerub after 1 level if I remember correctly?! Sure you can seperate queue for AN but not many do it so the wait would take hours.
Ehem, rant over.
Breakfast Topic: Have transmogrification limits stymied your character's look? {WoW}
Dec 18th 2011 8:07PM That set looks actually very clothy. I know few cloth pieces that look exactly like that..I wonder how is that mail tho. Looks good.
I was thinking more of this however for my hunter:
("swashbuckler" leather gear or blue version "glyphed" set and some quest items those that want to know)
I'm very into outfits and got both bank, bags(with biggest bags) and void storage full of gear to transmog. But sadly the gear restrictions make half of em useless for my hunter :(
My hunter looks currently like this tho:
I quite like it myself.
Breakfast Topic: Have transmogrification limits stymied your character's look? {WoW}
Dec 18th 2011 8:34AM Yes.
On my hunter I would love to use leather gear. It feels more natural to wear it as hunter..well some reason is also that my hunter is on RP server and uses leather gear as uniform.
But on my main I use cloth so I've always been stuck at cloth anyway. I would love to use leather eyepatches too, but there might be work arounds that. Engineer goggles look good too etc.
But yes the weapon rules are bit annoying. I'm stuck with staff this tier because theres only ONE offhand and thats from TRASH so 1h+offhand is pretty much no go. Not to mention the only 1h seems to be dagger in Dragon soul.
5 things WoW could learn from Star Wars: The Old Republic {WoW}
Dec 14th 2011 10:14AM This is pretty common argument against SWTOR and voice acting a like.
However while swtor might have similar lengths on the starting intros of the instances there is major difference.
YOU are part of it. YOU can potentially change whole layout of instance and get different boss (im assuming they have shared loot with other possible bosses) and change the story of the instance.
When you are part of the experience it becomes so much more fun so you dont even realise you just spend 2 minutes of cutscenes.
Besides you can skip the talking with spacebar. Its MUCH more immersive than sitting on instance waiting 2 minutes for "oh noes they are zombies lets kill them" where you cant do anything about.
Lets take example how it could've go in wow setting swtor style. Keep in mind that this is example and same type of rules apply as I said above..you can skip these if you wish to.
You arrive to start of instance and talk to Elite guard of Arthas asking you to not go further as you are potential infected. Lets say this man is further away from the group of people arthas leads..
*One member tries to talk things over with the guard and that they have just arrived etc. Guard agrees to this and lets you thro. Guard might even (pretend to) help you on first boss.
*One member is impatient and shady and tries to bribe the guard to let them pass. Guard might agree to this and you could get consciences later on in the instance by calling you out.
*One member is impatient and thinks the guard might be risking the operation. This member decides to kill the man and hide hes body on the bushes. Later on the guard might be turned into undead boss instead of getting boss X..
You arrive at gates of stratholme and talk to arthas.
Arthas says the city must be cleansed with light and that is the only way of doing so.
*One member in your party agrees and wants a lot of "gold and fame" to which Arthas could potentially reply "You shall have all the fame of lordearon by your side soldier"
*One member is disgusted by the fact and tries to convice Arthas to stop this and is agreeing with luther that its madness. To which Arthas could order you to do as he says as prince and future king.
*One member is total mercenary and agrees to kill any threat even if they are alive or undead. To which Arthas responds differently..like "I will deal with the infected you slay the undead".
btw the way system works in TOR in group convos members pick their choice and they roll who gets to answer with that answer.
I know thats not the best example but my point and TL;DR is that when YOU are part of the cutscenes and you can affect the dialogue and the story it becomes much much more enjoyable.
Battle.net Balance funds World of Warcraft game time {WoW}
Dec 9th 2011 7:29PM Basically yes and basically not.
It was said that you can use it on "blizzard products" on store..with not much details after that, maybe few "pets and some games" around internet. So there was never direct saying "yeah game time too" just "products".
Depending on "deposit fee" there is possibility that some people might end up spending that 15 dollars month on real money AH purely thro deposit fees anyway. Some might sell one item for 15 dollars and never use it for month.
The Queue: Get angry! Get mad! {WoW}
Dec 7th 2011 12:55PM Recently I had blatant abusers on LFR who literally went afk middle of boss just autoattacking it. If boss moved you could just see them stand there for 5 minutes on the "target too far away" melee stance.
Why is this allowed and even worse, rewarded!?
Would you personally add some sort of point system that other games have and then give maybe extra loot that will be available for rolls to people with certain amount of points? Like complicated system not just based on dps.
Would you think something like that would encourage good play or would people go uproar that they are not getting all the loot that drops?
Blizzard issues official statement on Raid Finder exploit consequences {WoW}
Dec 6th 2011 5:01PM @Angrycelt
Show me proof and info on what occasions Paragon has exploited the game.
No, even if its popular belief stacking druids to beat encounter is not exploiting.
World first Anub? No exploits here.
World first Lich king hc? No exploits here.
World first Al'akir? Making ~7 raiders stand to the side is not exploit.
World first Sinestra? Nope and nope. Nefarian? No sir, 11 druids is no exploit. Cho'gall? Nope. World first Ragnaros? Nope, using trinket that procs when target is low health is no exploit.
They might be week late on the race but (sad) truth is, the top guilds that got banned are one of the few capable of doing world firsts. If heroic deathwing can be done in less than week then there is something wrong here..
Besides Im sure there will be ton of ways to stalk people who do madness heroic. Logs, armory..forums..there will be people who talk about it.
Nothing prevents them to level to 85 run heroic firelands, 5mans, LFR (properly) and normal DS. That all can be done in less than weeks time and bam they are back at race.
Paragon: We're sorry we cheated {WoW}
Dec 6th 2011 4:46PM "I'm glad they apologised, but applauding cheaters for apologising? You're supposed to apologise when you do something wrong, you don't get cookies for that."
But we live internet age. They could've very well raged to blizzard..but they didnt.
Considering that on most exploit accidents (not naming any names so bombs wont drop) the official statements for bans and such have been generally mixed.
On one accident, some members that got banned started to rage hard with things like "Blizzard cant test their own games, how can we get banned for stuff we didnt even know was possible." etc etc. In general theres been lot of rage.
Anyone remember when certain guild exploited game files to skip C'THUN trash because "they were too good to waste time for it"?
Giving apology is good in this case when it could've been worse..

Waves of diverse people settled the area for over 12,000 years, each wave eager to utilize the lush land to fill their needs. A rich prehistory of Paleo, Cades Pond and Alachua people were followed by the historic Potano Indians, Spanish adventurers, Seminole Indians and finally Americans pushing down from the north. The wilderness, now called Paynes Prairie, has always proved an irresistible lure to the explorer and the adventurer. Hunter/gatherers were followed by hunter/farmers both Native American and European. They were followed by cotton farmers, citrus farmers and then cattlemen.
Early naturalist William Bartram provided the first detailed description of the flora and fauna of the region along with commentary about the native inhabitants. The Florida Park Service uses Bartram's Travels for insight.
Heavy rains began to flood the prairie basin in 1871 and by 1873 the marsh was referred to as Alachua Lake. Steam-powered boats transported cotton, oranges, produce, lumber and passengers across the lake.
Paynes Prairie was designated by the National Park Service as a National Natural Landmark for its exceptional value as an illustration of the nation's natural heritage, contributing to a better understanding of the environment. More than 800 species of plants and more than 400 species of vertebrates are identified here.
Ranching has played an important role for more than 400 years. At one time Paynes Prairie was the largest Spanish cattle ranch in Florida. Historically the lush green plain and fertile soil of the prairie has attracted ranching.

Groenkloof Nature Reserve is located near the famous Fountains Valley. This valley on the southern outskirts of Pretoria was proclaimed a game sanctuary by President Paul Kruger on 25 February 1895, the first in Africa. Its main purpose was to protect the shy and timid oribi, which occurred there, and other game that were being wiped out by hunters.
After 1910, portions of the area were rented out for the establishment of commercial plantations for the delivery of wood and the production of paper, both of which were in short supply during the world wars. By the late 1950s, the City Council of Pretoria became the owner of the area.
In 1994, the reserve became the responsibility of the Department of Nature Conservation and preparations started for the re-release of game. Impala, kudu, blue wildebeest and ostrich were eventually re-introduced to the reserve in 1999, and 2002 saw the release of giraffe and red hartebeest.
Currently, big clean-up operations are being run to restore the original woody bush of the area.
Vegetation Groenkloof Nature Reserve features low, broken ridges varying in steepness. The vegetation is semi pen thicket, dominated by a variety of woody species including Acacia caffra, Rhus leptodictya, Combretum molle and Dombeya rotundifolia. The under-storey is dominated by a variety of grasses. Wildlife: The wildlife on the reserve includes zebra, jackal, duiker, kudu, impala, blue wildebeest, blesbuck, red hartebeest, ostrich, giraffe and sable. The rich bird life will keep bird lovers busy for hours on end. What to do

It is easy to say ignore, but when you are watching good, kind people get emotionally drawn into very painful elaborate stories, it gets hard to do so.

Thread: G73JH max RAM

G73JH max RAM
1. Is 8GB the maximum supported RAM, or does it go up to 32GB (16GB with Home Prem)?
2. Is 1333MHz the highest supported RAM? If so, is it possible to get faster RAM (ie. 1600MHz) and have it throttled down? Would there be any benefits in doing so (other than lower timings)?
Also, does opening the main body of the laptop void the warranty automatically, or are there certain components inside which have warranty seals on them?
Currently have 3x2GB of the default Hyundai RAM + 2GB of Elpida (That's what got put in when i opted for 8GB instead of 6GB), and I'm thinking that 4x4GB of faster RAM throttled down would do me alot better.Last edited by Rishwin; 16th June 2011 at 01:12 AM.

Re: G73JH max RAM
As far as I know the motherboard officially only supports 1333MHz, but i know many desktop motherboards can run higher-than-supported RAM by simply throttling the speed down. I know some motherboards also give better Dual-Channel performance with matching sticks, depending on the memory controller.
Just trying to see if anyone here has done it or knows if the motherboard handles it fine. Since the 'Twin Turbo' ups the BCLK to 145MHz my RAM runs @ about 1400MHz anyway, so I'm hoping that means it can support something a little faster (and throttle it back down to 1333MHz).
1600MHz Kingston HyperX @ 1333MHz runs at about 8-8-8-20 which is a little faster than my current 9-9-9-24. With an SSD to replace my slow 5400RPM HDD aswell, I'm hoping for a nice little performance boost.
16th June 2011, 11:44 AM #4
Re: G73JH max RAM
You'll get more performance from installing that SSD than from using faster RAM, since the JH motherboard will only clock the RAM at 1333. (I know, I tried with the 1866 RAM here) If our BIOS had some tweakability, then it would be another story.

Re: G73JH max RAM
I am fully aware that the performance gains will be minimal, but for my work i may require 16GB of RAM. Unfortunately the only *quality* laptop RAM kits available here are all 1600MHz, so i just want to know if the laptop will physically work with that RAM. Will it simply throttle the RAM down to 1333MHz and just chug along as usual? Or will there be some issues?

Raid Rx: Healing talents trimmed {WoW}
Jul 15th 2010 8:43PM I, for one, am very excited for the changes to paladins. After being a dps since wow first came out, I finished leveling my pally recently and have been healing and enjoying it immensely. My favorite part is how it feels somewhat more active in regards to having to judge, etc. With the changes in Cata, it appears that it is only going to happen more-so. I am also looking forward to be able to have a real AOE heal so I am not shoehorned into being a tank healer in raids. This will be immensely useful with the advent of the 10man guild being a common base raid unit.
Drama Mamas: Tips on getting wife back into WoW {WoW}
Jul 9th 2010 4:49PM Also it should be noted that I am doing something similar to this plan with my brother because he wants to get into wow. SO.....I guess it wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibility to do this for a girl if she wanted....let's be honest. I'm a guy, I'd probably even let her play on my desktop.
Drama Mamas: Tips on getting wife back into WoW {WoW}
Jul 9th 2010 4:46PM I am single, because I am worried about my career. I consider owning a house, paying off student debt, and getting through the most rough years (I am in a career with an 80% divorce rate) of my career paramount to being in a relationship. This was a conscious decision that I made because I feel that it will allow for the best life for me and a spouse when the time comes.
But I digress. Let me restate what I said, because it was a bit harsh. If the person I am in a relationship with plays wow and finds her way into the same guild as me because she has earned it, then power to her. If she can pvp well enough to help me achieve my arena goals, then let her come play. I, as well as the rest of the WOW population, have had to deal with the 'bad' spouse that is in a raid because of the other partner who rocks. I refuse to hold my raid group/arena teams back because someone's playing that is subpar. I consider wow a hobby like several RL activities I have, and just as in those I won't bring along someone to participate in a competitive activity where it will hold back the rest of the group.
HOWEVER, if I was dating someone and they wanted to just play to play and wander around Azeroth, then power to them. I'd help them where I could but they would have to know and appreciate what I'm doing on my time in wow. If they wanted to play in the manner that I did and could, then power to them. My inner nerd would jump for joy, outer nerd probably would as well.
Also to those that do have a wonderful relationship with a beautiful, charming person who happens to be a nerd, I'm jealous of you. I have yet to meet a person like that so you all have hit the jackpot.
Drama Mamas: Tips on getting wife back into WoW {WoW}
Jul 9th 2010 2:11PM I play WoW to relax and achieve goals that I have within the game. Why in the world would I want a hanger-on keyboard turner of a girlfriend/wife to play with me? She can play, but she has to realize that my playtime is built around raiding and arenas. If I wanted to go wander around I'd do it outside IRL, so I could at least get some sun and seem less of a social pariah to friends and family.

Oct 7th 2009 12:45PM The 'high-school' raiding guilds generally fail. All current content can be completed by guilds who raid 4hrsx3days a week. I have been an evening/night raider for the past four years now and the caliber of players in such guilds seem to be higher, although I tend to be the youngest person in the guild (I'm in my early 20s). Your safest bet is to check sites like wowmatcher.com or if you feel like picking a needle out of a haystack, check the wow recruitment forums. I assume if you're unguilded you probably don't have a terrible attachment to your current server.

The Murmur3Partitioner provides faster hashing and improved performance than the previous default partitioner (RandomPartitioner).
You can only use Murmur3Partitioner for new clusters; you cannot change the partitioner in existing clusters. The Murmur3Partitioner uses the MurmurHash function. This hashing function creates a 64-bit hash value of the partition key. The possible range of hash values is from -263 to +263-1.
When using the Murmur3Partitioner, you can page through all rows using the token function in a CQL query.

Here we see scroll lock doubling as a button to switch between windowed and full screen mode on your current application. Pause Maximises and minimises windows.
A special X button will let you close Windows quickly (you know...in case, like, your mum walks in...or something)
The number pad to the right has a key arrangement doubled up on top of them. If you want to use it as a number pad, then just tap num-lock.
Freaking me out is the placement of the directional arrows right underneath the number pad; it takes some getting used to.
Just to show off, here's the gaming keys with the purple backlight on...very pretty.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Specializations in Mists of Pandaria {WoW}
Oct 30th 2011 8:15PM So.. The removal of one ability that is unusable for prot, replaced in fury, and a source of contention for arms warriors made you decide the game/Blizzard is bad?
/second Matt's question
Enjoy Star Wars, until they decide to change a tooltip or adjust an ability.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Specializations in Mists of Pandaria {WoW}
Oct 30th 2011 3:10AM Miss intercept? Get double take (two charges before incurring the 20 second CD). :D
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Specializations in Mists of Pandaria {WoW}
Oct 30th 2011 3:08AM PH is great with off-tank kiting or generally just slowing all mobs in general area, with most trash and some adds in boss fights not being immune to slows. In PvP, as a flag carrier or a node defender, the ability to slow down everyone near you is an amazing ability.
The thing that excites me however... is cripple (rend is a 50% movement impair), this combined with what I assume is now a prot only ability in Blood and thunder (thunder clap spreads rend to all affected targets) = an all in one slow, threat generator, and attack speed slow. :D
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Specializations in Mists of Pandaria {WoW}
Oct 30th 2011 3:03AM I for one like the new talent system and the choice that comes along with it,with the ability to choose shockwave (one of my favorite abilities ever) and other classic warrior abilities no matter what spec I am. I love the choice to choose between abilities in a CC tier, a self-heal tier, a damage increase tier, etc.
Something that I found intriguing though was the reworking of Deadly Calm, going from an all abilities are now free to 3 free Heroic strikes/cleaves? That is a huge shift from the 2 min CD model that partially defined the arms class (and most damage classes, eg Icy Veins, Zealotry, Pillar of frost, etc). This led me to information about enrage effects and an increased emphasis on damage increases from being in an enraged state. This is also interesting because I think I would enjoy higher damage all the time, however in PvP we do not always have the uptime to enjoy the increased damage but need the high burst damage. So the other two options in the tier, bull rush and death wish, both mention enrage effects and increased damage/rage generation without putting numbers forward. I know that there is a lot of time for things to be tweaked but I am VERY interested to see how rage generation and enrage effects are handled in MoP.
Breakfast Topic: Which WoW Insider column would you like to guest write? {WoW}
Oct 5th 2011 1:38PM I am not sure I want to necessarily write it myself but I too would really enjoy seeing more pvp related content. I think I read earlier that the staff is actually looking for a new writer so I understand the lack of content lately.
It would be awesome if a weekly pvp (daily if we're wishing) article or column came back into consistent/quality existence.

This man's attitude is incredible. He's a true example of playing with the cards you are dealt! It's especially powerful to me with the recent loss of a close friend, my job, and some friends that just left bound for the sand box. Sometimes it can be hard to go forging forward, but my hero, Ernest Shackleton did it, despite raging winds and bitter cold, seas so high that he once mistook the cap of a breaking wave for a cloud, and seemingly impassable ice floes.
This man, Nick Vujicic lives his life with no arms, no legs, and he has not given up. Nothing I could say would ever excuse me from my self-given duty to myself, my family and my country.

Beautiful and Unique
Let it Snow Save the Date Cards Everything came out even better than how it looked on the computer! The personalization was a bit tricky as the software didn't like my computer too much but got the job done once I figured out the kinks in it. Everyone that has received my Save-the Dates has told me how beautiful and unique they are and that was exactly what I was looking for.
Love the Save the Dates!!
Autumn Stamp Save the Date Cards I just received our save the dates last night and I absolutely love them. The only thing I don't care for is the size of them because I thought they were going to be a little bigger but that was my mistake when I ordered them. Other then that, I love them. They did a fantastic job on the colors and the quality of the card is great!
Beautiful card
A Fall Getaway Save the Date Cards The card is beautiful but smaller that I thought it was. It is difficult to tell when editing the design to tell what the size is and how it will really look in person.

Accepting a video call via your Wii U will require you to quit your game in progress, Nintendo has confirmed.
Owners will be able to make video calls between Wii U's using the GamePad's front-facing camera, but calls cannot be made with a game running in the background.
"First, when the other person is online with Wii U, and you call them, their Home Button will flash to let them know a call is coming in," explained Nintendo's Fumihiko Tamiya in a recent Iwata Asks interview. "If they open the Menu, they'll get a message telling them they have an in-coming call, and if they answer it, the Wii U Chat session begins."
But, he adds, "they will have to end the game" to accept the call.
This is something Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata hopes can be improved at a later date. "There must be technical hurdles involved, but I hope this is an area that we can improve on in the future," he said.
Tamiya explains what happens if a call is made to a Wii U that's switched off. "They wouldn't be able to tell from the Wii U, but you can leave a message that appears in the messages list on Wii U Chat, and also through a message on Miiverse."

Hi All,
If its not o.k. to post this please let me know and will rerain from such posts in the future. I was wondering if any of you may have been watching the autions for those gorgeous cajun violets grown by cajunlady? According to her listing they are still in trials and are new offerings for the first time. They looked spectacular to me and I wanted one badly. But I wasnt home when they closed. Then I saw how much they closed for! Yikes! As a newbie, I'm not ready for that kind of resposibility. Has anyone here become the lucky owner of one of those new cajuns? I sure hope so cause I'd like to know more about them, and possibly see more pictures of them. The foilage alone is spectacular in the adult plants. cheers to all Jon |
Follow-Up Postings:
I did not get any of those leaves, and would never (and never be able to) pay that kind of money for AVs! That said, a friend of mine sent me a leaf each for two of her plants. Just the leaves themselves are beautiful. Unfortunately, they both turned to mush. Don't know why, because other leaves that my friend sent treated the same way did not. :( |

I know that Bloomlovers.com carries the standards. I don't know if she is selling leaves yet or not. She is supposed to get the semi minis of Cajun's soon. Nancy |
To win the ebay auctions, you've got to have the time and the money. |
Aha - if you want something desperately - put the max amount for automatic bidding at your absolute max. Like $100 - and you very probably be the one to get it at a much lower price. I am not saying that everybody should do it - if there is a question of paying a rent - or for the violet leaves of the new variety - the violet leaves can wait for a year - when everybody and his dog will be selling them for $1.99. Wavy leaves are much harder to root and they are much more vulnerable to the heat. So - buy them in September, not in July. After they arrive - recut them, put them in a lukewarm water with sugar - and if there are damaged peaces - cut them off - and apply cinnamon to the cuts. Good Luck irina |

Irina, where do you buy Fresh-n-Grow? When you used SuperThrive, do you soak the leaves (strep) before putting them down? |
Allen - to my regret I cannot find Fresh-N-Grow anymore. Before Lynn Lombard ("The Velvet Leaf") was selling it. If It take fresh leaves - I just stick them in a soil and they root and produce with vengeance. If the leaves are not fresh - I will soak them in a weak solution of ST for 15 min - or more is necessary - then pot them. Good Luck Irina |

What does the sugar, then the cinnamon do to the AV???? |
Quilter - it is a good idea to soak a wilted leaf of AV or Streptocarpus in a weak lukewarm solution of sugar. Just a pinch of sugar - and for a short time - may be 10-20 min. Peole who use this technique think that it gives a bit of nutrition to the leaf. (It doesn't hurt). Cinnamon has antifungal and antibacterial properties. If Av leaf you put for rooting just caught rot - you can cut the rot out - and treat the cut with a q-tip dipped in cinnamon. It stops infection. This trick came from orchid growers. |

I was able to get my hands on a single leaf of 4 different Cajun varieties. As it was I paid $6.50 for each and they where once she reg a few years ago. Normally I just put my leaves down in my soiless mix and don't worry about them. This time I decided to sterilize the soil. I placed the damp soiless mix in large glass bowl , covered it with plastic-wrap and sapped it in my Micro waves oven for 10 min. It has now been 7 weeks they all rooted and I already have babies on 3 of the leaves. |

If you were in Germany and had a giant former Soviet military airbase in your backyard, what would you do? Build an indoor tropical resort complete with white sandy beaches, palm trees and heaps of white tourists in Speedos, right? RIGHT!!!?? Well that's exactly what happened.
The approximately 1181 feet long, 689 feet wide and 351 feet tall hangar designed to house airships that probs would've been used to kill heaps of people, is now the home of the Tropical Islands Resort. The luxury 'beach' getaway can accommodate up to 6000 guests not including the 500 people who work their everyday. Through purely unnatural means, the joint is kept at a lovely 26 degrees celsius with around about 64% humidity.
Oh and btw, there's snow outside. Heaps of it. Covering the military hangar which has a beach resort in it. In Germany, where else?.

Great job Chefs – the nachos look delicious!
Awesome you guys… Emmanuel is going to have to do dinner one night this week.
Your nachos looked really good, we wanted to try them! Your chefs sounded really smart! I wish we could have been there to watch and sample the nachos! Next time, maybe you could keep the camera a little closer to the table where the chefs are working. Also, talking a little louder would be good! We would love to see a burrito episode, or taco salad episode! Great job!

Woodridge Rotary Mini-Triathlon Event Named Recipient of Illinois Governor's Home Town Award
Four Woodridge Rotary Club members traveled to Springfield on Tuesday, November 5, to participate in an awards ceremony at the Illinois Executive Mansion when Governor Pat Quinn announced the winners of the 31st Annual Governor's Hometown Awards. "The Governor's Home Town Awards honor the efforts of 22 remarkable groups who have selflessly dedicated their time and efforts to making their communities a better place to live," Governor Quinn said. "We applaud these groups of volunteers for improving the lives of others and truly making a difference in our state."
The Governor's Home Town Award recipients are selected by volunteer judges who review and rank applications based on a variety of factors, including local need, volunteer participation, use of resources and results achieved. The projects are judged within their population categories as well as within project categories. Project categories include services and mentorship, beautification and sustainability, parks and recreation, memorials and monuments and history and historic preservation. The judges then select one project from each population category to compete for the coveted Governor's Cup.
The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) administers the Governor's Home Town Awards Program. Each winning group receives a road sign for its community and plaque recognizing its efforts. The Governor's Cup winner receives the traveling trophy and a unique road sign that proclaims its status as the overall winner.
"These awards celebrate the spirit of volunteerism in Illinois, "DCEO Director Adam Pollet said. "They show the connection between grass-roots activism and community improvements. When people unite behind a cause, they make a huge difference in the lives of their neighbors." These 22 winning projects represent the work of nearly 5,000 volunteers who devoted more than 90,000 hours of their time. Their volunteer service was estimated to be worth $2.1 million, and the groups raised neraly $1.8 million in donated funds, materials and services.
Attending the ceremony for the Woodridge Rotary Club were Mike Adams, Executive Director of the Woodridge Park District; Mayor Gina Cunningham; Village Manager Katy Rush; and Rich Moore, owner of Shanahan's Pub in Woodridge. The Woodridge Rotary Club started its Mini Triathlon (Chicagoland's LARGEST Mini Tri) 14 years ago as a way to have fun and promote good health. The event has grown from 60 participants to more than 800 this past year. It is not only a major athletic event in the community, but it has become the major fundraiser for the Woodridge Rotary Club, which gives the proceeds back to non-profit organizations in the area. Volunteers provide almost all the work on the event.

Woodridge Rotary Club Distributes Dictionaries to 3rd Graders
In early September, Woodridge Rotary Club President Gina Cunningham-Pick and other Club members distributed student dictionaries to children in Ms. Vickiela Wright's third grade class at Meadowview School. While this class was selected to be photographed, every 3rd grader in Woodridge District 68 and St. Scholastica schools each received the same dictionaries. Students were excited to receive their "own" dictionary and enjoyed finding such things as a sign-language chart and the longest word in the English language in their books.
Woodridge Rotary is especially committed to providing needed resources for children in Woodridge. The dictionaries have been given annually to Woodridge 3rd graders over many years. The books are purchased from The Dictionary Project in South Carolina, a nonprofit organization founded in 1995 by a couple responding to a need for dictionaries for disadvantaged youth in their state. Project partners now include Rotary, Kiwanis, and other service organizations across the country. Nationally, in 2011 nearly 2.4 million children received dictionaries through The Dictionary Project.
Club Partners w/ Woodridge Park District to Donate Play Equipment to
Kids Around the World
On Tuesday, August 28th Woodridge Rotary Club members volunteered in conjunction with Woodridge Park District staff and Kids Around the World to disassemble existing play equipment at Echo Point Park in Woodridge, IL. The play equipment is being donated by the Park District to Kids Around the World to be refurbished and installed in another country where children and families have been affected by war, poverty, illness, and natural disasters.
Jenny Knitter, Woodridge Park District's Superintendent of Planning & Development stated, "this was a great community effort and saved the District approximately $4,000 which usually goes into demolition and legal disposal of the equipment. The money saved by this effort was reinvested into purchasing more playground equipment for the kids of Woodridge and best of all will also provide the same FUN experience for kids in another part of the world."
As part of the volunteeer service project, the Woodridge Rotary donated $1,000 to Kids Around the World.

On the fourth Tuesday of each month, the Club meets at 7AM for breakfast in place of the Noon lunch meeting.
