Second hand goods and warranty question.
Likes # 0
Posted June 21, 2013 at 6:24PM
I was wondering where I stand under the sales or goods act on a second hand item I purchased a few months ago which as recently become faulty.
In a nutshell I purchased a PC graphic card from a private seller, the graphic card was about 12 months old when he sold it to me and was in great working order and worked fine in my PC for five months or so.
However, the item as recently died, which of course is no fault of the seller, but I was wondering under UK consumer law if I would be entitled as a second hand purchaser to return the item to the manufacturer for a repair or replacement (No original receipt) as it clearly states on the box it as a 3 year manufactures warranty.
I'll be grateful for any advice.

The first thing to say is that a manufacturer's warranty only covers faults in manufacture - it will not be any good as far as wear and tear is concerned. The seller may have told you the card was 12 months old, but do you have any means of verifying that?
In general terms a second-hand purchase is protected in the same way as that of a new product, provided you buy from a retailer. If you buy from a private individual however, the regulations are different - the transaction is classed as a private sale, and the goods you buy must only be correctly described, and be the legal property of the seller. If you were told the card was 12 months old, that's all it has to be, there's no assumption of it being fit for purpose - that is for you to determine. The old adage of caveat emptor applies.
In your own words, the card "was in great working order and worked fine in my PC for five months or so." You have no recourse to the seller, and you obviously acknowledge that fact.
The manufacturer has no contract with you (or with the first owner), so there's no liability in law there - the manufacturer's warranty is in addition to your legal rights, so you'll be in uncharted waters; you may be lucky and find that the maker will help out, but I wouldn't bank on it. You have nothing to lose by trying, so why not give it a go?

Thank you for your replay 'Forum Editor' and very nicely put too.
Yes, I pretty much thought it would be a long shot, and like you say there's no harm in contacting the manufacturer, who knows, its not unheard of for manufacturers to care about customer relations as well as their profits.
As for the age of the card its about right, I believe the HD 79xx series cards started to appear late 2011 early 2012, not that it matters.
Anyhow, thanks again.

" In general terms a second-hand purchase is protected in the same way as that of a new product, provided you buy from a retailer"
I don't consider that is quite correct, because if a retailer makes it quite clear that the item is second-hand, with or without imperfections, they can offer their own terms of sale.
I had an 'incident' a few years ago with Staples and Medion regarding "second-hand goods", and that event became very time consuming and costly to resolve. With a few headaches and frayed actions in between.
In that incident, I wanted a computer monitor urgently, and decided to use the local Staples store. Saw a Medion monitor on display that fitted the bill. This item was not powered up, but just on display, like most items Staples sells or any other sales outlet wanting to sell goods. After making the purchase I was informed by the sales assistant that the monitor was the only model in stock at the time, they could not find any more in the storeroom. This seemed a normal sale to me, but on packing the item it was found that the instruction book was missing, everything else was intact. Due to the instruction book missing, Staples gave a small discount on the purchase price, which I think was 5%. I was an happy bunny.
Returned home and registered the monitor with Medion, and requested an instruction manual. I was asked why I wanted a manual, and I explained the circumstances, and Medion requested £5.00 for the replacement (photo-copied)manual, which I duly paid by credit/debit card. The 3 year warranty was registered and confirmed. Still a fairly happy bunny, even though I had now lost any discount given by Staples.
A few days later, I received notification from Medion that the warranty was "nil and void -there was no warranty - because the monitor was classed as second user or second hand". It got very complicated, time consuming and costly from there, dealing with Staples and Medion. To cut a very long story short. Of the original 3 year no quibble warranty, Medion accepted the first year and staples accepted the other two years, making the three year warranty back on track. Staples did tell me, that should the monitor fail, then in all likelihood, they would simply replace the monitor with anything else in stock "at about the same price", and not bother with a repair "because they had no facilities for this".
Perhaps a lesson to be considered and learned there. When is a new item classed as second user or second-hand, especially when warranties or guarantees are considered?.
Since that time, I do believe that consumer laws on auction items have also been revised, and at this very moment, further additions are being added to consumer laws in the UK, which will come into force later in the year or early next year?.
Apologies for a fairly lengthy post!.

"I don't consider that is quite correct, because if a retailer makes it quite clear that the item is second-hand, with or without imperfections, they can offer their own terms of sale."
No, they can't, at least not if it means compromising the purchaser's rights under the law.
As I've already stated, if you buy a secondhand item from an established retailer you will be protected under the Sales of Goods Act in its entirety. This means that the goods must be of satisfactory qualify (as assessed by a reasonable person, bearing in mind the items are second-hand), as described by the seller and fit for purpose.
Obviously the item's quality is going to be a matter of judgement, which is why the law uses the 'as assessed by a reasonable person' qualification. That said, the retailer is bound by the terms of the Act, and if the sale was made online the consumer is protected by the Distance selling regulations as well.
A private seller is not legally bound in quite the same way, as I pointed out earlier.

Perhaps you can explain what "Even if the item's second-hand or reduced, it doesn't mean you get second-rate consumer rights, except where the seller pointed out the specific problem before you bought" in the above article?.
But you may have now covered that in your second paragraph at 6.55PM?.
The point I was trying to make or suggest "except where the seller pointed out the specific problem before you bought" and how that might have applied.
In my own example stated at 10.54AM, which I said "To cut a very long story short", neither Staples or Medion could agree on second-hand or second user (over a normal sales display item) and possibly how consumer law applies and how it applied to them?.
I would be the first to admit that I know little about consumer laws, but in some cases neither does the legal people who should. I think they refer to them as 'grey areas'?.

I often buy 'second hand' electrical goods [including computers 'n' printers 'blind'], from my local downtown charity shop[s]. I am always told that I can return the item[s] if I find it/they to be faulty in any way but will not get a refund in cash, but may choose another item [or items] to the same value of the original purchase ... sometimes I don't bother to return faulty items 'cos my dosh is going to a good cause anyway.

I'm surprised to learn that you buy electrical goods from charity shops - many of them won't touch such goods because of the obvious safety risks involved.
I know someone who managed a shop for Oxfam for many years, and at one point she had a retired electrician who checked all electrical equipment before it was sold. Even that was discontinued eventually, and most Oxfam shops stopped accepting mains-operated electrical items some time ago.

FE - one of the larger charity shops in the centre of Glasgow sells mostly electrical goods including large white items like washing machines, fridges, and oodles of very large TVs which are always on display ... it's like walking into a Comet store [I know they've closed down now].
All appliances have a green sticker on them saying 'Passed For Electrical Safety'.
PS. I've never had anything electrical acquired from charity shops 'blow up' or cause any harm to me or anybody else.
I do realise that other shops like Oxfam do not accept or sell electrical goods and I tend not to visit them very often.

Vets face confusion using GI Bill at state schools
In 2011, Arizona amended its laws to grant veterans "immediate classification as an in-state student" "while in continuous attendance toward the degree for which currently enrolled." and "demonstrated objective evidence of intent to be a resident of Arizona." The Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education changed its rules in 2009 to grant all veterans in-state status.
"These courageous men and women have made great sacrifices in leaving behind their families, their jobs and all that is familiar to them in life to serve our state and our nation," chairman Frank Caprio said at the time. "These veterans deserve our admiration and respect, and aiding their efforts to secure a college degree is one small way we can and should show our appreciation for everything they have done."
In Texas and Wisconsin, veterans who were residents at the time of enlistment retain permanent in-state tuition eligibility in the state university system. The Illinois Veteran Grant program pays for up to 120 credit hours of tuition, but veterans must have lived in Illinois at the time of enlistment and have returned to the state no more than six months after discharge.
Lawmakers introduced a bill in California's General Assembly last February to grant veterans with at least three years' service one year's worth of resident status so they can begin their studies immediately. It died in the appropriations committee without even coming up for a vote.
Veterans can attend Connecticut's state schools tuition-free, provided they've lived in the state at least a year upon enrollment. An attempt in 2011 to amend that requirement failed.
But at the University of Connecticut, a veteran seeking a tuition waiver need only "be domiciled in Connecticut at the time of acceptance."
In Iowa, resident status is left up to the each school's board of regents.
Dakduk says this patchwork of rules has left a lot of veterans bewildered, to the point where many either pay the difference out of pocket, take out loans or just give up.
"By and large, veterans don't complain about it," he says. "They kind of just suck it up and move forward."
Justin Curley refused to just suck it up.
The Missouri native was a medic in the Air Force. But, like many veterans, he learned that those skills didn't automatically translate to a job in the civilian world.
After leaving the service in 2009, Curley moved to New Orleans and applied to the nursing program at Delgado Community College. But because he hadn't been employed in the state for at least one year, the chancellor denied him in-state status.
Curley took out loans to cover the difference, about $3,000 a year. But a friend convinced him to fight, and he launched a petition drive on the site change.org.
"Essentially, because I constantly moved with the Air Force, the Louisiana Community and Technical College System is taking away the veterans benefits I rightfully earned in favor of unwritten policies that are left up to the discretion and judgment of the board and chancellor," he wrote. "To me, that says I'm a resident of nowhere. All because of my service."

I am a Post-Doc Scholar in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and my research area is analysis in large, including real and complex analysis, and some differential geometry. More specifically, I am very interested in the studies of deterministic partial differential equations on bounded or unbounded (exterior) domains in Sobolev-type spaces with rough boundaries, and meantime in geometric partial differential equations on manifolds.
On the other hand, I enjoy teaching and like to improve my teaching skills with a great passion, though I have already taught several courses before I came to WPI. As a teacher, one of the most important things is to help the students getting the right path in learning, understanding the underlying mathematical principals and practicing them in real world applications (in their future careers). WPI definitely is an ideal place for such a goal.

Bubble trouble hits Hong Kong jade sales
HONG KONG – Prized as a magical imperial stone, jade is a status symbol of the super rich in Asia, but rocketing prices in the top-end of the market have left traders in Hong Kong struggling to find buyers.
With the cost of high-quality raw jade and jade products surging repeatedly in the past eight years, prices tags are now becoming prohibitive and experts predict the bubble must soon burst as buyers are stepping back.
Driven up by the appetite of wealthy Chinese, the rising cost of jade is also being fuelled by fears of a shortage in supply from Myanmar, the key source.
"Consumers cannot accept the current high prices, therefore, no deal is reached," Hong Kong jade dealer Li Kwong-kei told AFP at the Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair Friday.
Li, who has participated in the fair for more than 10 years, said it was quieter than in 2011 and 2012.
"We are forced to raise prices – it is increasingly hard to get high-quality raw jade from Myanmar. If you do not pay more, the good raw materials will be owned by the others," Li added, holding a green jadeite bangle with a price of HK$2 million (US$260,000).
"I have decided to wait for the prices of high- and mid-end jade to drop," said Judy Chen, a Taiwanese buyer at the fair.
"It appears to me that their prices are kind of at the peak."
Small businesses have also been affected – stallholders at Hong Kong's famous outdoor jade market while away hours chatting with their neighbors, as customers remain sparse.
"I have seen some of my peers quit their businesses," said 54-year-old stall owner Wong Fung-ying. "The prices are high while the market is quiet."
Jade holds mythical properties in China, where it is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring better health.
With no international pricing system, values have been increasing since 2005 as the newly-rich in China have bought up jade products. Seen as a classier option than gold, it has become a status symbol.
Dealers are now worried that quality raw jade from Myanmar is dwindling as the country plans to process and sell its own jade products.
Myanmar keeps its cards close to its chest in a famously murky trade, and rumors are rife among dealers about its plans as the country opens up economically.
Jade dealer Liang Jianhui, based in southern China's Guangdong province and one of 7,000 buyers at the gem auction in Myanmar's capital Naypyidaw in June, told AFP that he could no longer afford to buy high-quality jade.
One bidder told AFP the auction had been less busy in the past two years than previously, with high prices putting dealers off.
"I set aside more than two million euros for the auction, only to find that I am too poor to win a bid for one single piece of top-end jade," said Liang.
"If a piece of raw jade sold for 100,000 euros in the past, people would make an offer of 500,000 euros for the same one this year."
One dealer said Chinese buyers had backed out of collecting their jade after having second thoughts about the high prices, while another said Chinese bidders had gone in high purposely to put the raw jade out of reach of their rivals.
Up to 90 percent of the world's jadeite – the most sought-after type of jade – is mined in the northern Myanmar town of Hpakant and hundreds of tonnes are transported to state gem auctions, which have until now been held at least twice a year.
But in 2013 there was only one major auction, which saw the number of jade lots down by 38 percent compared with the previous auction in March 2012, according to local media quoting official figures, although it was still reported to have reaped $2.4 billion in sales.
"What they want now is not only to export raw materials, but also to process jade domestically and sell it to China," said Li Lianju, a deputy director of Yunnan Land and Resource Department, who oversees the jade trade between Myanmar and China's Yunnan province, a major commercial hub for the gemstone.
"The value of raw jade rises more than twentyfold after being carved and turned into rings, bangles or necklaces," said Zu Engdong, head of Gemology at Kunming University of Science and Technology in Yunnan.
"So it makes full sense for the Myanmarese to process jade themselves."
Some fear Myanmar will close the jade mines altogether or slow down production to protect jade sources. Fighting in Kachin state may also have affected jade mining.
What is certain is that prices for those buying raw high-grade jade are astronomical, trickling down to merchants who are upping prices to maintain their profit margin.
Yunnan's Li says prices of lower-grade jade are already dipping.
"The bubble of low to middle end jade has burst first given the little fear of raw material shortage," he said.
While prices of high-end jade are likely to jump after the raw material from the June auction is processed, Li predicts such surges cannot continue in the face of lack of trade.
"By the end of the year, the prices will start to drop from the sky," Li said.

DAKAR, Senegal — A court in Cameroon found two men guilty under the country's harsh law banning gay sex on Tuesday, a lawyer said, continuing a string of recent convictions that has drawn international condemnation.
Michel Togue said judges in Yaounde, the capital, sentenced 48-year-old Joseph Omgbwa to two years in prison and 19-year-old Nicolas Ntamack to one year. A third suspect, Seraphin Ntsama, was acquitted.
The convictions came less than two weeks after a prominent Cameroonian gay rights activist, Eric Ohena Lembembe, was tortured and killed in an attack his friends suspect was related to his activism.
Togue said he plans to appeal the convictions, which he described as baseless.
"You know, this judgment makes me very sad and angry because we didn't have evidence to convict those guys of being homosexual," Togue said.
He said the verdict would further devastate a community already shaken by the death of Lembembe, the most prominent African gay rights activist to be killed since 2011. "Ever since this man was murdered the community is really frightened, and I think they didn't need this kind of verdict today," Togue said.
Homosexuality is punishable by up to five years in prison in Cameroon, and officials have zealously pursued prosecutions under the law dating back to 2005, according to local and international human rights groups.

Physician Jan Brunstrom-Hernandez, who has cerebral palsy, opened a clinic in St. Louis 15 years ago to treat children with the disorder after finding that treatment options had not changed much since her childhood in the 1960s. Brunstrom-Hernandez, whose treatment emphasizes exercise and independence, said she did not become comfortable with herself until she began treating others with cerebral palsy. "I have gotten as much or more out of taking care of these patients as they have ever gotten from me," she said.

We've been chatting about an interesting story in the office this morning: the Scottish National Party wants to establish a top level domain (TLD) for Scotland. The story has been covered by the Times and over on Circle ID.
The proposal is being driven by dotSCO (surely they've missed a trick by not going for the snappier 'dotSCOT'?), an organisation which seems to have been around since at least 2005, judging by this news story. They hit the headlines over the weekend because the Scottish National Party, led by Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, has lent its support to the campaign.
According to the report in the Times, Alex Salmond is set to "lodge a formal request with the American-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which is responsible for allocating all internet domain names."
And why not? As the dotSCO website explains:
"…the Scots language and culture is a community that we believe should be identified with its own domain on the internet. Under a .SCO domain those organisations, companies and people that express themselves in the Scots language and/or wish to encourage Scots culture will be able to be registered and will be clearly identifiable."
Update 26/08/2014: It's official. Scotland now has its own domain. Find out more about the new .scot domain extension and register your favourite web address today at 123-reg.
What do you think? Do you support the campaign? Is creating more domain extensions a good idea, or will it simply lead to more confusion among average internet users? Leave a comment and let us know.

The Palms Lakeshore subdivision launched in Pampanga
More News from Cesar D. Mangawang
popular .
Urban living in harmony with nature is what one of the country's fastest growing real estate developers is bringing to Pampanga through a new subdivision.
Pro-Friends launched on Wednesday The Palms Lakeshore, its newest residential community in San Fernando, Pampanga.
The Palms Lakeshore is a sprawling residential development within The Lakeshore, the exclusive 300-hectare lakeside community, a joint venture between Central Country Estate Inc. and Pro-Friends. The joint-venture agreement was signed by CCEI Chair Nestor Mangio and Pro-Friends Chair Guillermo "Gerry" Choa during the 10th anniversary celebration of CCEI.
CCEI is the owner and developer of The Lakeshore, located at Km 71, North Luzon Expressway. The Lakeshore is known for its 12-hectare manmade lake where residents can enjoy fishing and boat rides.
Pro-Friends' assistant vice president for marketing Tani Puyat said that through market research, the marketing team was able to determine the needs and wants of Pampanga residents. For instance, a lot of families want new homes and there is an increasing household income in the province. Pro-Friends is offering Pampanga residents The Palms Lakeshore subdivision which is not only easy to own but also within their budget.
House models
According to Puyat, there are five house models to choose from:
• Liana is a 50-square-meter townhouse on a 50-sq-m lot area. It has three bedrooms, one toilet and bath, one powder room, living room, dining area, kitchen and provision for a one-car garage. Liana house model is being sold for P980,000.
• Mia is a 60-sq-m townhouse on a 50-sq-m lot area. It has three bedrooms, two toilets and baths, living room, dining area, kitchen, provisions for a balcony, CATV, telephone, air-conditioning outlet and one-car garage. Its selling price is P1.2 million.
• Sofia is a 52-sq-m single-attached two-story house on a 80-sq-m lot area. It has three bedrooms, two toilets and baths, living area, dining area, kitchen and provision for one-car garage. Its selling price is P1.5 million.
• Brooks is a 72-sq-m single-attached two-story house on a 100-sq-m lot area. It has three bedrooms, two toilets and baths, living area, dining area, kitchen and provision for one-car garage. It is being sold for P1.92 million.
• Leighton is an 84-sq-m single-attached two-story house on a 120-sq-m lot area. It has three bedrooms, two toilets and baths, living area, dining area, kitchen and provision for lanai and two-car garage. Its selling price is P2.3 million.
Puyat said the houses at The Palms Lakeshore were built using the latest in reinforced concrete technology to withstand a pressure of around 2,000 psi. This means that they can endure typhoons, earthquakes and other natural calamities. Conventional hollow blocks can bear only around 400 to 700 psi.
According to Mark Joseph Z. Arisgado, project director for The Palms Lakeshore, the first-rate amenities for homeowners are the clubhouse, infinity pool, gym, events tents, lakeside restaurants, water sports facilities and an upcoming community parish.
He said subdivision residents can also avail themselves of several common areas for outdoor activities that have lampposts, trees, grasses, outdoor furniture, exercise benches, barbecue pits and trash bins.

First Choice Dental Group ScRead MoreBefore bringing the pain to teeth stains, a complimentary consultation with one of First Choice Dental's dentists is necessary to make sure you don't have periodontal disease or gum conditions that would interfere with the whitening treatment. If eligible, impressions of your chompers will be taken so that customizable upper and lower plastic trays can be made. During a second visit with the dental defenders, the trays will be fitted and adjustments made if necessary. Once both trays fit their ivory horseshoes, you'll be given three tubes of whitening gel. Depending on the amount of stains from chocolate, cigarettes, or chocolate-flavored cigarettes recently devoured, you'll be advised to wear the trays anywhere from three hours a day to overnight for two weeks.927 N Main StVerona, WI US

Dundee estate auctioning Ali gloves
Gloves from two of Muhammad Ali's biggest fights are among items being auctioned off by the estate of his former trainer, Angelo Dundee.
THE GREATESTSee some highlights from Muhammad Ali's career.
One set of gloves was worn by Ali when he won the title from Sonny Liston in a huge upset in 1964, while the other set is from his ''Fight of the Century'' loss at Madison Square Garden in 1971 to Joe Frazier.
Dundee's son, Jim, said the gloves have been stored in a safe deposit box since the fights. They are among more than 100 items that the family is selling in the online sale by SCP Auctions.
''It's kind of bittersweet,'' Dundee said. ''These have been in our possession for nearly 50 years. Dad would bring them home and I would store them.''
Angelo Dundee, who was Ali's trainer throughout his career and also trained Sugar Ray Leonard among others, died Feb. 1 at the age of 90.
On Thursday, each set of gloves had been bid up to $241,577. The auction, which also features gloves from Leonard's infamous ''No mas'' fight with Roberto Duran in 1980 and other Ali memorabilia, ends Friday at SCPAuctions.com
Jim Dundee said money from the sale would help pay expenses for his sister, Terri, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, and some would go to the Muhammad Ali Foundation.

Review by Kyle Kerley - March 26, 2007
Of all the BIOSes I have used over the years, I'm pretty sure the nForce 680i LT is my all-time favorite. The ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium nForce 590 has a feature-rich BIOS, as does the 680i LT, but the 680i LT's layout just feels more right. It's something that isn't easily put into words, but just by using navigating it, the attention to detail and time invested in layout is obvious.
NVIDIA has a top notch BIOS with all the power and features of any other board I've used and it's all together in a way that makes perfect sense. The main screen is pretty standard, but once you get into the power-user areas, the difference is noticeable.
Underneath the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu of the BIOS, the following menu is given, breaking down overclocking and other advanced options in a way that feels very smart.
Apart from the System Voltages menu – which has the voltages for the CPU (adjustable in 0.00625v increments), RAM and PCIe bus among others – most users will likely spend the majority of their time on the System Clocks screen pictured below (sorry about the fuzziness).
This screen is where the front-side bus and memory speeds are set. There is a choice of keeping the CPU/RAM linked and a number of ratios including 1:1, 3:2 and 5:4 are available for choosing. There is an unlinked mode that allows users to adjust the FSB and affect the CPU speed independently of the RAM speed (but still adjust the RAM speed, also independently of the FSB). Each is available for adjustment in 1MHz increments and board takes care of any fractions.
Well, it's official: my overclocking drought is officially OVER! Since the MSI nForce 570 SLI I had for my Athlon 64 X2 4600+ to the ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium nForce 590 for this same Core 2 Duo E6600, I have not been able to successfully overclock my CPU or RAM.
This EVGA 680i LT has alleviated my worries of never being able to overclock again. And boy did it allow for a spectacular show. The board is touted as supporting a 1333MHz FSB (333MHz quad-pumped) and so I thought I would push my CPU up to that to see if the board would in fact run at advertised speeds.
It does.
My CPU is running comfortably at 3.0GHz – a 600MHz overclock – at stock voltages. I finally understand the extreme excitement everyone was experiencing with the Core 2 Duo CPUs. I'm using the stock Intel heatsink/fan that came with the CPU as well and while it's idling a tad warm for my liking (46C-51C), under a full-load from Prime95, the temperatures never exceeded 60°C! I recently acquired a Zalman CNPS9500 and will be installing it once my new case arrives. I expect the temperatures to drop significantly.
Not only was I able to successfully overclock my CPU, but this amazing Super Talent memory has finally shown its true capabilities. With stock speeds of 800MHz effective at CAS 4-4-3-8 1T timings, this RAM definitely has the potential to scream along at higher speeds.
Look at Super Talent's list of available RAM modules, their speeds and CAS settings, I decided to shoot for the moon and try to achieve the same speeds as their 1066MHz memory.
With the motherboard's FSB set for 333MHz, I set the CPU/RAM ratio at 5:4 and the RAM was bumped to 1066MHz and the vdimm was set to 2.1v (up from 1.8v for 800MHz speeds, just to make sure there was enough juice). The timings were incredibly loose at 5-8-8-22 2T, but I figured it was better to be safe than sorry at first.
I had no problems booting, getting into Windows or running Prime95 for a few hours. While I didn't give a completely thorough Prime95 testing, the fact it was able to run with the CPU at 3GHz and the RAM at 1066MHz with those loose timings was enough for me to attempt the more aggressive timings Super Talent's 1066MHz RAM advertises.
Back in the BIOS, I set the timings to 5-5-5-15 2T and again was able to boot.
I ran Prime95 overnight and all day at work and there was nary a problem after almost 18 hours of straight stress testing. Restarting again, I put the RAM at 1T timings but the board wouldnt POST. Upping the vdimm to 2.2v had no effect so the RAM was set back to 2T timings @ 2.1v and again Windows booted. I was wary to even put the RAM at 2.2v and any higher I just cannot bring myself to do without better cooling.
To say Im pleased with these results would be a massive understatement. I'd forgotten how much fun and how rewarding overclocking can be and I have no doubt that I'll be able to push the CPU even further once the Zalman has been installed.
The embargo on this review was pushed from the original date of 3/15 to today, 3/26, which allowed me some extra time to get a Zalman CNPS9500 installed on my CPU and move my entire computer to a new Lian-Li G70 full-tower ATX case on the evening of Thursday 3/22. The results of that migration are on the next page!

JJ Abrams on directing third 'Star Trek' movie: 'It's a possibility'
Director says 'Star Wars' won't necessarily prevent him from returning to 'Star Trek'Buy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
JJ Abrams has refused to rule out making another Star Trek movie.
Abrams, the creator of TV shows like Lost and Alias, successfully rebooted the franchise with 2009's Star Trek, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews from film critics and grossed over $385 million (£250 million) worldwide. He has also directed the highly-anticipated sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, which opens in UK cinemas next month (May).
Back in January, though, Abrams landed an even bigger job: directing the new Star Wars movie. Disney has slated it for release in 2015, which could make committing to a third Star Trek film difficult.
However, the director has insisted he could potentially make both movies. Asked whether Star Wars counts him out of Star Trek 3, Abrams told Playboy: "No. I would say it's a possibility. We're trying to figure out the next step. But it's like anything: it all begins with the story."
Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have reprised their roles as Captain Kirk and Spock for Star Trek Into Darkness, which opens in UK cinemas on May 9 - a week earlier than originally planned. The film also stars Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays a mysterious villain called John Harrison. Scroll down and click 'play' to watch the trailer.

Posted by Adam Jacobi
In the wake of the Declan Sullivan accident that rocked both the Notre Dame campus and the college football world as a whole, Notre Dame announced that it would not be using scissor lifts -- the raised platforms frequently used by football programs to film practices from considerable heights -- until the investigation of Sullivan's death was complete. Nobody raised an eyebrow, as any investigation of an incident this serious should thoroughly examine every factor possible. It would have been worse from both a PR and legal standpoint if Notre Dame had said it wouldn't suspend use of the lifts.
The thing of it is, though, coaches use lifts for a reason: they're enormously useful, and Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly wasn't exactly clamoring to get Sullivan down from the lift before that day's terrible accident. So it's not exactly surprising to see that with Sun Bowl preparation in full swing, the Irish are back to using the lifts, before the Sullivan investigation is complete. Here's a picture from the Chicago Tribune 's Brian Hamilton from earlier today:
Notre Dame would later announce that while the Sullivan investigation is ongoing, it received clearance to use the lift from its office of risk management. This makes sense. If the issue with Sullivan's death was that scissor lifts are inherently unsafe in any weather condition and are liable to kill their occupants at any moment, every other football team in America would have stopped using them too. Nobody has bothered arguing that, however, because it's pretty obvious that the Sullivan accident was caused by the lift being used in substantially higher winds than regulations permit. All across the country, football programs follow regulations in the use of these lifts every day (and have done so for decades) without any incident. If anything, this development from Notre Dame only confirms what was widely suspected: that Sullivan's death was not caused by a random, unforeseeable equipment failure on a catastrophic level, but by misuse of that equipment. As long as Notre Dame uses the lift properly, in all likelihood, a similar accident will never happen again.
The bad news for Notre Dame, then, is that such a development only strengthens any possible wrongful death lawsuit, should the Sullivans go down that road. Again, Notre Dame is openly acknowledging the obvious: using scissor lifts under normal weather conditions is acceptable, but the conditions under which Sullivan was sent up that day were sufficently bad that he (obviously) should not have gone up. It's hard to draw any conclusion from that statement that doesn't directly implicate Notre Dame as liable for Sullivan's tragic death.

… the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
2 Corinthians 10:4
Jail inmates dream of freedom. The sudden thump of a wrecking ball knocking down the walls would be happy music to their ears. Multitudes are jailed behind massive walls that aren't physical, but spiritual, emotional and mental. They are locked into addictions and behaviors that limit them as much as the strongest prison bars. The walls of such fortresses can't be knocked down by physical powers. God's covenant people have spiritual weapons through Jesus Christ that no fortress can withstand.

Recently I went to Concordia (the hub from where you can see 4 of the 8k+ meters high mountains including K2 -the 2nd highest mountain in the world, the other 3 are Broad peak, G I and G II) in Pakistan and did Gondogoro La (one of the world's most difficult and high altitude passes).
I took my Envato elite t-shirt with me and here is a picture of me with that in front of Broad peak (8,051 meters).
Amazing, i think my brain would explode there xD .
Thanks for sharing, it is a very beautiful place n_n

Yeah, I have been travelling a lot for the last 2 years. I am not a climber but a hard core trekker. I have explored a lot of lakes and valleys in Pakistan. Next summer I plan a grand trip to Tajikistan, China (Tibet) and Nepal in one go.

Jeremy Clarkson
Clarkson on: the government
God, how I wish something would go wrong with the economy. It's all very well having the lowest inflation and the lowest unemployment figures for 25 years but this means that His Toniness, Brown the Frown and Fat Boy Prescott have nothing to do.
But instead of going off to Tuscany with their boyfriends for several years, New Labour have decided to busy themselves by sticking their snouts as often as possible into our daily lives.
Think. With the age of consent for homosexuals at 16, you can now be sodomised long before you're deemed responsible enough to have a say in who runs the country or enjoy a pint of beer at the pub or, best of all, see such things going on at the cinema.
Then there's the fox. I've never cared about the plight of what is basically an orange dog but then I've never cared much for the idiots who charge around the countryside on horses. And I don't think I'm alone on this. Most people are too busy to give a stuff, either way.
But they've gone ahead and done it and now they'll be turning their attention to people who shoot and fish and fly model aeroplanes. But before then, they've decided that anyone caught driving at more than 85mph will be banned from the roads for a year.
Well, now look. I know it is this government's avowed aim to cut car use and get us all on the buses, but I conducted a little experiment on the M40 this morning by driving along at precisely 85. And do you know what? I was the slowest car on the road. If they ban people for doing 85 or more, they will have to ban everyone. And yes, that does include Jack Straw's chauffeur.
Then there's this speed camera business. We're told that a Gatso in Kent caught so many speeding motorists in five days, that it generated enough in fines to pay for itself. And the police are allowed to keep the revenue so long as they spend it on more speed deterrents.
But hang on a moment. If they are getting enough after five days to buy another speed camera, then after 10, there will be four more and so on until - some time in June - the damn things will be more common than lamp posts. "Good" says the Speed Kills lobby, but they haven't thought this through.
"On the continent, speeding is a misdemeanour, like burping or not wiping your bottom properly"
When Britain becomes a Black Forest Gatso and the road network is full of speed cameras, what will the police buy then with all the money they're earning? Pretty soon, every patrol car in the land will be a Bell Jet Ranger.
And really, is this the sort of crime that matters? The whole country was amazed last month when a gang of paedophiles, who'd been masturbating over pictures of babies in nappies, were given jail sentences of 20 minutes each.
And yet some lorry driver who had a crash while using his mobile phone was banged up for five years. Now I know that he was text messaging his wife, and I know that someone died as a result, but what sort of a government is happy to see this kind of imbalance?
If you are going to put a law-abiding man in jail for five years just because he suffered from a momentary aberration, then those kiddy-fiddlers should, by rights, be behind bars for all of time. And a bit tagged on for bad behaviour.
I was stopped for speeding this month, in Austria. The policeman, who spoke perfect English, was in no way rude or angry. He simply explained that I had been travelling at 70 in a 50 and that I must pay an on-the-spot fine of £25. He even promised to hurry up with the credit card transaction when I said I was late for a plane.
And he did. He hurried up so much, in fact, that he completely failed to note that the card had expired.
The point I'm making, though, is that on the continent, speeding is a misdemeanour, like burping or not wiping your bottom properly. It's not the wet dream of Fred West.
And that brings me neatly on to the question of drinking and driving. The twits, led by Neil of Orange Kinnock, say that we must follow Europe's lead and lower the limit from 80mg to 50. But they never explain that those caught on the continent with 51mg of alcohol in their blood are merely fined and sent on their way. They're not marched off to a police station and banned from the roads forever.
The worst thing, though, is that His Toniness will win the next election. And he'll carry on dreaming up new and ever more stupid plans that will make our lives a little less wonderful than might otherwise have been the case.
The trouble is, of course, that the only thing that could possibly stop him is a downturn in the economy. Unless...
Unless we could have a nice little war. Obviously, I'm too old to fight and my children are too young, but nevertheless, if we could encourage Germany to have another pop at the White Cliffs, it might take Tony's mind off the motorist and the fox and the plight of homosexuals.
So let's stir things up a bit, starting right now. The BMW X5 is a piece of s**t, you can't tell which way a Porsche Boxster is going and the Audi A2 is hopeless. And your flag's ugly.

- Where is the list of all the child themes? I see the four listed on the Builder page, but are there more?
- With the child themes, I assume there is the ability to change theme colors/header images/font, etc. built into the interface, without playing with CSS, right?
- If I already own the Architect theme, is there a discount available for upgrading to Builder? If not, any sales going on currently (I haven't seen onesince before new years in my email)?
- When watching the Builder tutorial, it appeared that some pages (like the video page and opt-in page) lost the header,navigation, widgets, footer, etc. and just a page with a video / opt-in form showed up. Is that the way it works, or did the tut builder just not take to time to include those pieces of the page layout? I'd like to make sure that every page has all the header/nav./widgets/footer in tact. That's possible, right?
- I'd like to just clarify that the multiple use licence for Architect and Builder means that I can purchase them once and re-use them as many times as I'd like for my own and my client's websites with no additional charges. Is that correct?

CANYON LAKE: Council seeks new city manager
Canyon Lake is looking for a new city manager.
With a 3-2 vote late Wednesday, the Canyon Lake City Council decided not to extend manager Lori Moss ' contract.
Moss' last day on the job will be July 30, although the council has invited her to reapply for the post.
Mayor Jordan Ehrenkranz, Councilman Randy Bonner and Councilwoman Mary Craton voted in the majority. Councilman Barry Talbot and Councilwoman Nancy Horton voted to extend the contract.
Moss declined to comment about the decision, other than to say that she did not ask for a contract extension. She also said that despite the council's offer, she probably won't reapply for the job.
Moss, 50, has served the city for the past 5 1/2 years. She was hired just two weeks after being let go as Murrieta's city manager, a post she held for two years. She has worked for Canyon Lake on a part-time basis, first serving three days a week. She is now on a four-day schedule, with an annual salary of $130,000.
She heads a city staff of two full-time and three part-time employees.
In the gated community of only 11,000 residents, Moss also carries the title of city clerk, although she shares many of those duties with part-timer Deborah Harrington.
In explaining the council's decision not to extend Moss' contract, Bonner said it could be a chance for the city to save money.
"How many days do we need, and can we afford, a city manager?" Bonner said. "We'll be in the process now of finding out what candidates are willing to do to be our city manager."
Moss was praised by Talbot and Horton for her hard work and dedication. She has taken the lead in securing developer fees to widen Railroad Canyon Road, a project expected to be finished in November.
She also worked with county officials to get a new fire contract signed without reducing service, cut nearly 25 percent from the city's budget and played a major role in the construction of a new veterans memorial that was dedicated in November.
"Lori Moss works harder than anybody I know," Horton said. "People often do their jobs well on a regular basis, but once in a while, someone comes along that's really great, and that's Lori."
But on Moss' watch, the city also has faced criticism, especially from businesses and residents who say it often takes too long to get permit applications processed.
That was particularly so two years ago, when the owners of a burned-out building in the Towne Center retail area grew impatient waiting for building permits to be processed and approved.
Moss also was named in a wrongful death lawsuit against the city for her alleged role in a December 2010 accident in which a car driven by Angela Marie Wright, 39, was swept into flood-swollen Salt Creek and then into Canyon Lake.
The plaintiffs, Wright's family, contend that Moss was responsible for not having barricades placed on Goetz Road that night, after several days of rain. The woman drowned in her car. The lawsuit is pending.

What's New
- Non-Spouse Inherited IRAs Lose Bankruptcy Protection
The U.S. Supreme Court, on June 12, 2014, unanimously ruled in Clark v. Rameker that inherited Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) do not qualify as "retirement funds," but rather are considered to be "money that can be freely used for current consumption," and therefore are not exempt from a debtor's bankruptcy estate.
- Regulatory Change Enables In-Plan "Longevity" Annuities
The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department in July 2014 amended Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules to permit the expanded use of "longevity" annuities in retirement plans. The use of longevity annuities, typically purchased at retirement with payments deferred until an individual reaches an advanced age (such as 85), is one approach to reduce the risk of outliving retirement plan savings.
- SEC Adopts Changes to Money Market Fund Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted significant changes to the regulation of Money Market Funds (MMFs) on July 23, 2014. The changes are designed to address money market funds' susceptibility to unusual redemptions in times of financial stress like those experienced during the financial crisis of 2008.
- GASB Issues Exposure Drafts to Revamp Retiree Medical Accounting Standards
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has begun the process of revamping its accounting standards for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) to "improve the information reported on OPEB for decision-making and accountability purposes, comparability across governments, and transparency for those who avail themselves to it," as well as to align the OPEB standards with the newly implemented pension accounting standards (GASB Nos. 67 and 68).
