Netmark Publishes Correlation Study
Netmark, an internet marketing agency, is publishing a new correlative study on website ranking factors. This landmark research looks at several hundred keywords and keyphrases and compares thousands of data points to not only identify what is truly important in ranking, but also in what quantities and ratios.
(PRWEB) June 13, 2013
In March of 2013, Netmark unveiled a custom software they had developed which scrapes data off of indexed websites. The software then compiles the information. Taking the gathered raw data, Netmark has plotted trends and weighed averages to correlate what features are common to all ranking websites, in what ratios, and therefore what internet marketing strategies are correlatively effective. One of the most exciting aspects of this project is that the data has been gathered post Google´s Penguin 2.0 that rolled out early in June, making this study the first to record the impact of the update and to provide valuable feedback to companies and marketers alike.
Since its founding in 2007, Netmark has concerned themselves with being more than an internet marketing agency for promoting businesses. Netmark has taken the initiative to be an industry leader as well, assisting website owners and other marketing agencies alike. This determination to be on the forefront of internet marketing has set Netmark apart for most marketing agencies and has won Netmark numerous awards and recognitions for both their success in the internet marketing industry but also in the efforts to help individual companies.
Netmark continues to grow, and will use this landmark correlation study to assist both marketing agencies and business owners alike. The information is relative to all aspects of internet marketing, answering ambiguous questions such as where to allocate marketing funds and how important is social media in ranking websites.
Netmark´s correlation study will not stop there, however. The software and the effort are designed to continue to evolve with search engines and will continue to provide information through upcoming iterations of search engine updates. The study will be used to provide direction for future endeavors and to help companies understand why their rankings can fluctuate so drastically month to month. Netmark will be using this correlation study to help companies understand where they have been, and more important, where to improve for the future.
Netmark is located in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Chad Heath is Netmark´s Founder and President. Josh Dalton is a co-founder and CEO. John Broadbent is the CFO and leads the Marketing Depart.

Paris Gym in Vauxhall, which has been running for 20 years, will be shutting its doors
London's longest running and biggest gay gym Paris Gym is closing down.
The training centre, which has been running for 20 years in the heart of Vauxhall, will be closing down on 27 June at 4pm.
This is just the latest in a long run of closures in London's LGBTI scene. The Black Cap in Camden closed suddenly earlier this month and the threats to shut down the Royal Vauxhall Tavern are growing.
Writing on Facebook, gym runners Peter Gann and Phil Hathaway announced the closure. He promised all members will receive refunds and a party is being planned.
Historic iconic venue, which featured in the film Pride, is at risk of closing
London gay bar Royal Vauxhall Tavern is at risk of closing due to its recent sale to property developers.
But celebs and stalwarts of the scene have come together to launch a campaign to help save the iconic venue.
It comes as the Black Cap in Camden, another notable London LGBTI venue, closed without notice last week.
Writer of Bafta-winning film Pride Stephen Beresford, who featured the RVT in his 2014 hit film, is calling on people to help save the bar.

A well-loved and long-running London gay bar has been told that it must find itself a new home.
The management of the Joiners Arms on Hackney Road, Shoreditch, has been informed that its current lease, which expires on 15 January 2015, will not be renewed.
David Pollard, the publican who re-launched the venue as a gay bar in 1997 and has run it ever since, told GSN that a development company is planning to demolish the venue and build flats on the site.
London's family-friendly disco, Big Fish Little Fish, is hosting a special Halloween bash this weekend, with support from Out With The Family, and cult DJ duo, the Readers Wifes
Big Fish Little Fish is one of London's most unique club events.
Describing itself as a 'creative and exciting music and dance party for the post-rave generation of parents and kids', it aims to offer all the fun of a mini-festival in the space of one afternoon. Hence the team's tagline: '2-4 Hour Party People'!
All its events are aimed at both parents and their young kids to enjoy (or grandparents/uncles/aunts/carers).
A group of community leaders meet in South London's clubbing district Vauxhall to discuss the drug GHB, and its relationship to clubbing and the gay community
In 2012, Gay Star News reported at least three separate deaths in the months of July, August and October where gay men died of suspected drug overdose in clubs and sex saunas.
UK-based comedienne Cleo Rocos claims she, Freddy Mercury and gay British comic Kenny Everett smuggled the Princess of Wales into South London's Royal Vauxhall Tavern in the 1980s
Author and comedienne Cleo Rocos claims she smuggled Princess Diana into a gay bar in the 1980s.
'When we walked in ... we felt she was obviously Princess Diana and would be discovered at any minute,' said the author.
She described in her book The Power of Positive Drinking how she, Freddy Mercury and gay British comic Kenny Everett took the Princess of Wales to South London's Royal Vauxhall Tavern one night.
Gay cabaret artists join forces to celebrate all things fat with beauty pageant Hamburger Queen
London cabaret acts, Amy Lamé and Scottee, have responded to a world where fat is under attack, mocking Miss America-style pageants with entertainment show, Hamburger Queen.

London's Royal Vauxhall Tavern and QX magazine team up to 'roast' drag star Sandra in a hilarious night to raise money for the Terrence Higgins Trust
Legendary drag star Sandra is set to face a 'right royal roasting' in aid of an HIV charity in London.
The Drag Roast is being organized by gay magazine QX and pub Royal Vauxhall Tavern, aiming to raise funds for HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust.
The Whore of Hampstead Heath will face the wrath of her drag circuit friends as they deliver one hilarious story after another.
Forget the Olympics, be part of the other greatest (or gayest) sporting events of the year
If your dreams of becoming the next Olympian are slowly being dashed, there's no need to despair.
Placed between the closing ceremony of the Olympics and the opening ceremony of the Paralympics, there is another London 2012 sporting event where little, or no, training is required and you still have the chance to walk off with a champion's cup.
The sixth annual Gay Sports Day from British gay health charity GMFA and London pub institution the Royal Vauxhall Tavern returns on 27 August.

Gutierrez true to form
CC starter shakes slow start for big win vs. Midland and 1-0 series lead
But it most definitely a typical Gutierrez ending that propelled Corpus Christi to victory in Game 1 of the Texas League's South Division playoff series.
The Hooks' ace shook off a bit of an early struggle, retiring the final 10 Midland batters on the way to six innings of shutout ball. Corpus Christi relievers Chad Reineke and Paul Estrada teamed to throw three perfect innings to complete the 3-0, two-hit shutout of the RockHounds.
"Outstanding. Outstanding," Hooks manager Dave Clark said of Gutierrez's effort. "This is as deep as he's gone in a long time. He did a helluva job."
Tuesday night was yet another dominating performance by Gutierrez. He allowed five baserunners in the first three innings on two hits and three walks.
"He's their best pitcher. He's pitched well against us every time he's faced us," Midland manager Von Hayes said. "We needed to get to him early."
But after walking Casey Myers with two outs in the third, Gutierrez set down the next 10 RockHounds in order and finished with three strikeouts.
"I felt good," Gutierrez said. "The first three innings I was a little of on my mechanics. When I came off the mound I was thinking what I had to do to make some adjustments."
The adjustments were made and the Hooks will take a 1-0 lead in the series into tonight's second game before the series shifts to Midland for Game 3 and, if necessary Games 4 and 5.
"This is very important. We only have two games here," said Gutierrez, who threw 90 pitches, 50 for strikes. "We win (tonight) and we go up 2-0. It'd be real good for us. We'd only be looking at one game (to win)."
Reineke and Estrada were equally as dominating. Reineke set down the three batters he faced - two via strikeouts - and Estrada fanned two of the three RockHounds he faced in the ninth. That completed a string of 19 consecutive Midland batters that went down after Myers' walk.
Making his fifth start since his return from the disabled list, Gutierrez hasn't allowed a run since July 1 against the RockHounds, a span of 20 innings. In five starts against Midland this season, Gutierrez is 2-1, allowing 21 hits in 26 innings with a 4.15 earned-run average.
"The break helped a lot. He was able to get some rest," Clark said of Gutierrez's stint on the DL. "His fastball has some serious pop on the balls. When he's on like that he's going to be tough."

North Carolina investigators are looking into why a Hickory police officer critically wounded a man fleeing an attempted traffic stop.
The Hickory Police Department says Master Police Officer Bruce Bumgarner tried to stop a vehicle late Saturday.
Officers say 36-year-old Irecas Valentine of Hickory sped away, wrecked his sports utility vehicle and threatened when he was cornered by Bumgarner. Valentine was shot and taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem in critical condition.
HOUSTON (AP) — Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes, DeAngelo Williams ran for a score and the Carolina Panthers ended Houston's seven-game winning streak with a 28-13 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Newton completed 13 of 23 passes for 149 yards, outplaying opposing rookie quarterback T.J. Yates. The Panthers (5-9) built a 21-0 halftime lead, then ended Houston's second-half rally when linebacker James Anderson intercepted Yates in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers' perfect season came to a crashing halt on Sunday against the beleaguered Kansas City Chiefs, who rallied behind interim coach Romeo Crennel and new quarterback Kyle Orton to a shocking 19-14 victory.
Orton finished 23 of 31 for 299 yards in his first start for the Chiefs (6-8), who fired coach Todd Haley last Monday with the team having lost five of its last six games. The loss also ended the Packers' 19-game winning streak.
Fred T. Foard won its host Tiger Land individual tournament on Saturday. The Tigers scored 233.5 points, easily edging second place Lake Norman, who scored 169 points in the events.

Thirteen of 14 Tiger wrestlers finished in the top 4 of each weight division, including champions Ben Pitts (132), Ben Hughes (152), Trevor Cook (160), Hayden Albert (170) and Zack Edwards (195).
Caleb Griffin also finished in a runner-up in his weight class.

HOUSTON — The setbacks finally seemed to catch up to the Houston Texans in Cincinnati last week.
It had all been going remarkably well — while one key player after another went down with a major injury, Houston somehow continued to win.
At last, the Texans had run into a team good enough to beat them, and the Bengals had them down 16-3 at halftime, and 19-13 with just over two minutes left.
But not even that was too much for depleted Houston to overcome.
Tied late in the third quarter, the Lady Cougars of Alexander Central pulled ahead in the closing moments of the game and held off a late Foard surge to win 41-38 on Thursday.
Maddie Suddreth led Alexander Central (7-1, 2-0) with 22 points, while Marie Ritchie added 12 points.
Scoring a game-high 24 points was Foard's Brooke Robinson. Teammate Chelsea Turner added 14 points for Foard (4-4, 0-2).
Alexander Central 48, Fred T. Foard 36
Down 45-39 entering the fourth quarter, the St. Stephens boys basketball team scored 20 points in the final quarter, lifting them past South Caldwell, 59-55, for its first conference win of the season.
Drew Starkey scored a career-high 19 points, while Jordan James added 15 points in the victory for St. Stephens (6-3, 1-1).
Jordan Propst scored 30 points, leading South Caldwell (3-5, 0-2).
South Caldwell 56, St. Stephens 35
CHARLOTTE — Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith said when it comes to comparing Cam Newton to Tim Tebow there is no comparison.
Smith said time will prove Newton is by far the better NFL quarterback.
"If Tebow is standing next to me I would tell it to his face — come check me out in five years, Jack, and you'll know who's the best quarterback," Smith said.
Events slow down in the Hickory Metro this week as Christmas approaches, but many churches are holding special holiday services.
Newton-Conover High School will also offer a free lunch for the needy on Thursday.

FC Dallas' Pearce now at peace with World Cup omission
FC Dallas left-back Heath Pearce admits he is now at peace with his omission from the USA World Cup squad.
The 26-year old was left out of Bob Bradley's final playing group for the South Africa tournament and admitted that at first he was furious.
"I wanted to fly away to some island somewhere with no TV," Pearce said. "I wanted to go surfing every morning and relax on the beach and clear my mind. I said, 'I'm not going to watch any games.' That was obviously the initial reaction that was harsh in my head.
"Part of me was devastated, part of me was hurt and part of me was jealous. The competitive side of me wanted to be there."
But Pearce says he has since come to realise that it wasn't all about him and opened his eye to the bigger picture.
"At first it was an 'I hate soccer' thing," added Pearce. "But then you get over your ego quick and you realize this is your country. I was part of the big picture and part of something special and the success they had at the tournament, I felt that I was part of it."
And Pearce was delighted to receive a call-up to the national team as replacement for captain Carlos Bocanegra for tonight's friendly with Colombia.
"Playing for your country is an honor and you never turn down a call-up," Pearce said. "I have another opportunity to build more experience at the international level and prove myself. This is the next cycle that has begun now and I'm happy to be part of it."

Iran showcases new warships near strategic waters
Wednesday - 11/28/2012, 7:50am EST
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's state TV is showcasing additions to its Navy including a missile-launching warship around the size of a frigate.
Navy officials watched as the domestically-produced Sina-7, equipped with anti-ship missiles, was launched Wednesday at Bandar Abbas, near the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Two new Iranian-built Ghadir submarines and two repaired hovercrafts were also delivered to the Navy.
The TV quoted Navy chief Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying that Iran must possess the "newest technology and top-grade facilities to protect its borders."
Ghadir class submarines can fire missiles and torpedoes at the same time, and can operate in the Persian Gulf's shallow waters.
Iran has sought to upgrade its air defense and naval capabilities, saying any possible future attacks on it would come from the air and sea.

|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Walkabout Cottage is a modern 2-story cedar-sided cottage located on 14 acres of land, and just 13 miles east of the city of Homer, Alaska. Two decks, one from each level, overlook Kachemak Bay and the Portlock and Dixon glaciers across the Bay. The upper level of the cottage features a very large, open Master Bedroom, which overlooks the living area below, has French Doors leading to a walkout deck overlooking the Bay, and is furnished with a King sized bed and a built-in day bed. Adjacent to the Master Bedroom is a small sleeping loft with a built-in daybed. The lower level of the cottage has a full sized, fully furnished kitchen with dining space for four, a living area with couch and chairs a handy mud-room with a washer and dryer, and a full sized bath. The bathroom features a toilet and shower that is accessible to persons with disabilities.
Travel and Activities Planning in Alaska : Please contact me if you need assistance with planning your trip to Alaska. I have lived in Alaska for 30 years and have visited almost all areas of the state. I can point you to interesting activities ranging from art galleries to sea kayaking.
We booked the cabin with confidence after reading all the positive reviews on VRBO site. The view is so spectacular in all directions. It was cold, rainy and cloudy during the 3 short days we were there, but we enjoyed every minutes spent in Nancy's lovely cabin. The drive to town is 13 miles away with delay because of road repair, but we did not mind the distance and the scenery made those trips so pleasant. If you are looking for a clean, spacious, convenient, quiet, secluded, romantic, scenic place to stay in Homer, this is the place. Look no further. The washer and dryer were very appreciated since we were at the end of our trip. Highly recommended! Wish we did not have to leave.
We enjoyed our stay in Homer at Walkabout Cottage. Everything was exactly as advertised and met our needs. Nancy was efficient and professional to deal with - we felt we got value and would return to stay here in a heartbeat. All the amenities were there and the view is beyond wonderful. The property is 13 miles out of town; we felt this to be a positive attribute!
The moment we drove into the driveway, we knew me have made a right choice. The cottage is secluded and the view is incredible. The best rental we have ever rented. Cottage is clean, bright, spacious and has all the amenities promised and more. Having the washer/dryer is a plus since we are on the last days of our trip. Highly recommended! Look no further if you don't mind driving 13 miles into Homer. The drive is scenic and pleasant, even in the rain...even with delay due of construction.
The cabin and the view were the best EVER!! The owner made sure that the cabin was fully stocked with EVERYTHING you can imagine - games, tools, linens, guide books, reading, batteries, sewing kits, repair kits, coloring books for kids, binoculars, even sleep masks!! This place is better than my home!!!!! Don't look further - this place is a MUST for anyone visiting Homer, Alaska.
Great view of the bay and glaciers looking back at you. Lots of windows, & just opening the blinds will heat the house. Recommend AJ's Old Town Steakhouse in town for a great dinner and better atmosphere. We will be back.
Stayed in Denali, Anchorage, and Seward and this was our favorite lodging. Fantastic views, snow capped mountains, bay, flowers and just listening to nature. Nancy emailed explicit directions prior to our departure. Property was well kept, with lots of information on what to do if anything occurred. Only down side was construction and pilot car needed to navigate East End Road. Would highly recommend this property.
We also enjoyed the Emerald Air Bear Tour with Craig and Sara, and hiking to Glacier Lake.
Walkabout cottage, located just 13 miles east of the town of Homer, Alaska, is on the bluff overlooking Kachemak Bay and the Portlock and Dixon glaciers. Homer, Alaska, has been pegged the 'halibut capital of the world' and 'the Shangri-la' of Alaska. While in Homer, you can enjoy fishing for halibut or salmon on fish charters out in Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet, or take a quick water taxi or sea kayak trip across Kachemak Bay to the villages of Seldovia or Halibut Cove. The Kachemak Bay area is home to many art galleries featuring lthe work of local and Native Alaskan artists and craftspersons, as well as opportunities for kayaking, hiking, biking, bird watching, tide pooling, and more. After a busy day exploring, come back to Walkabout Cottage and enjoy a beverage on the front deck ,a long walk through wildflower fields, or choose a book from the owner's library.
Other Activities: halibut fishing, tide pooling, art galleries

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Both films have pronounced documentary subtexts, as do many of the other entries (made in central China, Albania, the southern tip of India, the Iran-Afghanistan border, and suburban Vienna). The documentary features are particularly strongranging in subject from Palestinian refugees to Vietnamese war babies. As globalizing as it is, "New Directors" resists trend-spotting. Still, it's possible to find in its lineup the specter of migration that haunts the contemporary world. Fully half of the 22 features were either made by or concern the displacedrefugees, immigrants, and guest workers.
REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES In Patricia Cardoso's Sundance Audience Award winner, a working-class Mexican American high school senior convinces friends and family that fat is a feminist issue. The likable performances (by newcomer America Ferrera and Lupe Ontiveros as her nagging mother) go a long way toward mollifying the shrill old-hat empowerment of the title. March 22, 23. (Dennis Lim)
TAKE CARE OF MY CAT Set in the Korean port of Inchon, Jeong Jae-eun's heartfelt debut is a breezily realist look at five ordinary girls making the uncertain transition from high school friendship. Jeong examines the secret lives of 20-year-olds with a low-key seriousness lacking in most North American coming-of-age films, believably accenting class divisions and giving extra-special care to the incessant use of cell phones. March 22, 23. (Mark Peranson)
DAUGHTER FROM DANANG Recording the first meeting in 22 years between an Operation Babylift participant and her Vietnamese birth mother, Gail Dolgin and Vicente Franco's documentary (a Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance) appears to have feel-good sniffles in store, but the family reunion quickly turns sour. The long-lost daughter behaves like a petulant tourist, the relatives she barely remembers expect financial assistance, and the filmmakers steadfastly refuse to take sides as the emotional carnage escalates. March 23, 24. (DL)
THE MARS CANON In her accomplished third feature, Shiori Kazama turns a rapt camera on everyday unhappiness, contemplating the trajectory of a once-a-week affair between a 29-year-old travel agent and a married man 14 years her senior. Set in a subtly emptied-out Tokyo, The Mars Canon is deliberate without seeming ponderous. (The performances are similarly meticulous but not showy.) Kazama delineates an elegantly reduced world, pierced by an impossible stab of longing. March 23, 24. (JH)
THE NEW COUNTRY A pair of aspiring new Swedesone a Somali refugee, the other from Irantake it on the lam, eventually in the company of a former Miss Sweden. Geir Hansteen Jörgensen's film is trimmed down from what might have been a mildly daring four-hour TV series (recognizably co-written by Lukas "Together" Moodysson), The New Country starts broad, then turns tiresome and ultimately insufferable in its maudlin humanism. Plenty of drinking and a fair amount of puking it up. March 25, 26. (JH)
TIRANA YEAR ZERO A young veteran of Albanian cinema, Fatmir Koci is represented by a movie that's appropriately steeped in oxymoron. Well-shot but disorganized, turgid yet crazy, Tirana Year Zero provides a travelogue through a bucolic dumpa land of abandoned bunkers and sunny beaches that the natives seek to leave even as foreign tourists appear. Koci's movie imagines itself funnier than it actually is, but periodically stirs from its agitated depression and orchestrates the chaos with the aplomb of a wino staggering out to direct traffic. March 25, 27. (JH)
A DOG'S DAY Murali Nair follows Throne of Death with another sardonic political allegory set in the southernmost Indian state of Kerala. In the gaudy ceremony that opens the film, the longtime ruler of a village cedes power to an elected leader and bequeaths a royal dog to an old couple. The canine proves rabid, and Nair's fable goes on to observe, with deadpan brevity, the birth pangs of a new democracy. March 26, 27. (DL)
TRULY HUMAN Ake Sandgren's misguided modern-day fable illustrates Dogme Cliché No. 1: The innocent must suffer to prove society has gone to hell. A little girl with disgruntled yuppie parents forges a relationship with her imaginary aborted brother, who lives inside the walls of the family domicile. When the house is torn down, the full-grown naïf is unleashed on the world, and his pure heart leads him to violate all kinds of social norms. March 28, 31. (MP)
MY WIFE IS AN ACTRESS French writer-director-actor Yvan Attal casts himself as the green-eyed, eminently flappable spouse of a movie star (Attal's real-life partner, Charlotte Gainsbourg). When she lands a role opposite an English smoothy (Terence Stamp), the jabbering insecurity reaches pathological proportions. Sony Pictures Classics will release the film in July. March 29, 30. (DL)
THE SLAUGHTER RULE Suffused with the cruel beauty of winter light, the first feature by writer-director twins Alex and Andrew Smith derives its metaphoric density from the brutality and intimacy of contact sport. After a Montana teenager (Ryan Gosling) loses his father and his spot on the football team, a garrulous loner who coaches a six-man squad (David Morse) elbows his way into the kid's life. Morse's portrait of impacted masculinity is a career peaka remarkably fine-tuned study of a broken man concealing the open sores of regret and defeat behind a mask of brute willpower. March 29, 31. (DL)

Creative Labs Annihilator2 Ultra Review - Interview
Ryan Petersen, COO of the Overclockerz Store, was kind enough to take a bit of time and answer a few questions. I may make a recommendation, but I am not selling the thing to you.
Why, who and what? Let's get to know the OCZ...
nV News: What made you decide to cater to the hardcore PC enthusiast?
Ryan: Well I am a hardcore PC enthusiast and We felt that there needed to be a high performance outlet that kept the prices reasonable while catering to the Hardcore PC Crowd.
nV News: On the sample Pro, OCZ included the Blue Orb and now RAM heatsinks. What other measures will we see to get more bang for the buck out of your cards?
Ryan: We decided to go with the tried and true reference design because it gives great performance and stability for the price. We will continue to use the highest quality parts and to extensively test our graphics cards and will take advantage of lower pricing due to market conditions. As the price of our parts go down we will pass it on to our customer.
On that note we plan on revising our cards to include even faster RAM as well as more overclocking and cooling options to give our customers an even better deal.
nV News: Software bundles? Will the "retail" version include a driver disk or reference all the way?
Ryan: We will not be adding any kind of software bundles at this time. One
reason for this is the increase it would have in the cards overall price. We
would rather offer our customers options that will actually add to the
performance of their product, not just help fill up the box.
Our Retail version currently includes the latest reference NVIDIA
Detonator Drivers. We also include a detailed manual and a copy of Win
nV News: TV-Out, did you feel it was important to include it and why?
Ryan: This was just a matter of giving the consumer as many options as we possibly could. While some users might not use or want the TV-Out option, its always
there for them. This way we can reach a much broader range of consumers.
As we expand our Nvidia line we may offer models without TV-out.
nV News: You had mentioned in a press release that OCZ will carry the entire GeForce2 line. Do you see any issues with having too much competition in your own line?
Ryan: We are not too concerned with the competition because we can give the
consumer options that others either wont or cant. OCZ will have the card you want.
nV News: What level of support will OCZ offer?
Ryan: We offer 24 hour e-mail support, We have a dedicated BBS for support issues. And we have a call back service that no other company provides.
Our customers can e-mail us their phone number and a good time to call, We call them back, at the requested time. Our AIM to free customers from the long wait typically associated with tech support calls.
nV News: What do you feel is the difference between remarking a CPU and selling pretested CPU's?
Ryan: Remarking CPU's is of course the action of unscrupulous vendors or individuals whose intententions are to take advantage of unknowing buyers. They target buyers who have no clue about overclocking . CPU remarkers also generally set the CPU price at near the price for the actual factory part.
Vendors who sell pretested CPU's are straightforward about the CPU being an overclocked item and guarantee the CPUs will perform at the overclocked speed.
Pre-tested CPUs are generally marketed towards the hardcore PC enthusiast.
These individuals want to purchase a product, which they understand has been
modified, and will gladly pay less for it than a factory original part that runs at the same speed. They are acquainted with the possible dangers of overclocking and are willing to take that risk. Vendors like OCZ put the prices of these pretested CPUs much closer to the default speed of the CPU.
nV News: Will you have card, cpu, mem, mobo bundles?
Ryan: Yes we will, We plan on releasing these in time for Christmas.
Note: Two Gamer's bundles featuring a GeForce2 MX with overclocked AMD processor, KT7 and 128MB of PC150 memory are already avalable here.
nV News: Favorite game?
Ryan: UT
nV News: Coolest OCZ Hardware?
Ryan: I think we have some of the most outrageous coolers on the market. Our new PC-170 SDRAM. Overclocked 1400 T-birds. I wish I could choose There are some things in development right now that are unbelievable. When they are ready you will be the first to know.
It think Ryan is one of us, only he turned his hobby into a career...
Lets get back to the review. The next order of business is installation of the card with overclocking results.

Chelsea are closing in on Southampton fullback Luke Shaw.
The People says Chelsea will win the chase for Shaw – but only if they can guarantee him a starting role.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho has made finding a long-term replacement for Ashley Cole, 33, a priority and the highly-rated Shaw has moved to the top of his list.
The West London giants will get a 'yes' from Shaw if they can convince him there is a regular place available.
Shaw has been watched by all the top clubs – both at home and in Europe – but his sights are set on joining Chelsea, the club he supported as a boy.

There are probably in excess of 2 billion Chinese people in the world, including those living overseas and those living in Special Administrative Regions (SAR) like Hong Kong and Macau.
Chances of assuming an Asian to be Chinese and getting it right is very high.
In fact, you could even say Llodra's
that the woman wasn't Chinese (unless it's one of those people who are ethnically Chinese and think they are Canadian, having lived there for a grand total of about 4 years; I hate those people).
Merely adding the word "****ing" before "Chinese" doesn't make the overall sentence/statement racist. The word is used as an emphasis and nothing more.
Besides, it's not like he could've stopped to ask her name, age, sex (because you know, you could offend transvestites, transsexuals and hermaphrodites who possess most or all the characteristics of a woman, but are not, applying the same logic), nationality, ethnicity and sexual orientation, before mouthing her off on (inter)national TV, right?
You do realize that many of the different Asian nationalities and/or ethnicities nearly hate each other, dont you...
To call any Asian, Chinese is quite ignorant and can be highly insulting!

BIDAR: Members of the district unit of the Karnataka State Handicapped Welfare Committee staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office here on Thursday urging Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa to fulfil their demands such as filling about 17,000 vacant posts meant for persons with disabilities.
In a memorandum addressed to Mr. Yeddyurappa and submitted to the Deputy Commissioner Harsh Gupta, they said a person with disabilities should be nominated to the Legislative Council or be appointed chairman of a board or a corporation to raise issues concerning welfare of person with disabilities. They alleged that houses were not being distributed properly to beneficiaries under the Ashraya scheme, the Ambedkar housing scheme, Rajiv Gandhi Yojana and Indira Awas Yojana. Steps should be taken to allot houses properly, they said.

The Aspiring Writer's Dictionary
Bill Ferris on Jul 19 2014 | Filed under: Humor, INSIDE PUBLISHING, Writing life
The complexities of the publishing industry can confuse new and aspiring writers. Inspired by Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary, I present this handy lexicon to
show you all the terms you need to know as you start your literary career.
#amwriting (slang): Twitter hashtag that signals the arrival of a context-free non-sequitur. Designed to make the activity of sitting in front of a computer sound interesting.
Advance (n.): a sum of money offered to a writer prior to publication; invariably smaller than the advance given to that one author you hate.
Amazon (n.): the Great Beast slouching toward New York City via free Prime shipping. Hey, the UPS truck is here!
Comic Sans (n.): a whimsical typeface derived from Latin sans for "without" and comic for "dignity."
Aspiring writer (n.): what authors refer to themselves as when they're blogging instead of working on their manuscript.
Barnes & Noble (n.): america's leading retailer of notebooks, pens, and coffee mugs.
Beta reader (n.): a reader who sees an almost-ready draft of your novel before you show it to your VHS readers.
Blogging (v.): authors sharing writing advice with their audience, who presumably consist only of other writers.
Borders (n.):
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: "A vast and empty anchor store
Stands in the mall. Near it, across from Radio Shack,
Half junk, its shattered signage lies, taken down
Its boundless shelves, and kiosk of Starbucks coffee,
Tell that its manager knew what readers read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The buyers that mocked them and the cash that fed:
And on the endcap these words appear:
'Welcome to Borders, bookstore of bookstores:
Look on our selection, ye Mighty, and save!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The empty parking lot stretched far away."
Brand (n.): originally a marketing term to describe the signature features of a company or individual. In the social-media-marketing age, it now means pretty much whatever the hell you want it to.
Coffee (n.): the elixir of life itself. The coffee-cup rings on notebook paper is the shibboleth of the writer class. The caffeine amplifies writers' anxiety and neuroses crucial to their work.
Comic Sans (n.): a whimsical typeface derived from Latin sans for "without" and comic for "dignity."
Courier New (n.): the preferred typeface of ninety-nine percent of the publishing industry for some inexplicable reason.
Critique (v.): a polite way to tell someone you hate their book.
Editors (n.): brilliant, attractive people you hope will give you lots of money.
Facebook (n.): social media platform used by relatives to post infuriating political opinions. A place to stroke one's ego by having "friends" "Like" their updates about publishing.
Kindle (n.): a bookstore that fits in your pocket and, by the way, takes credit cards for your convenience. Electronic device designed to enable readers to read erotica without judgment from peers.
Multiple submission (v.): the act of submitting more than one story to the same market at the same time, to much the same effect as the multi-ball setting in pinball.
Self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) (n.): antiquated method of delivering bad news.
Poet (n.): a class of writers to whom fiction writers look to feel better about their stalled careers.
Platform (n.): a really good author photo.
Query (n.): a one-page summary of your book, which saves the editor the time of having to read the whole thing before throwing it away.
Self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) (n.): antiquated method of delivering bad news.
Self-publishing (n.): the greatest revolution in publishing since Gutenberg, overexposure to which can lead to derision from gatekeepers, intolerable smugness, and interminable arguments using talking points laden with dinosaur metaphors.
Serial (n.): a long story released in short, regular installments until the author thinks up a serviceable ending or the sales dry up, whichever occurs later.
"Show, don't tell" (exp.): the writerly equivalent of "Have a good one." An easy thing to say in your writers group when you haven't read the story, it has been repeated so often and in so many contexts that no one remembers its original meaning.
Simultaneous submission (v.): the act of submitting a story to more than one market in order to accumulate rejections more quickly.
Slush pile (n.): the foreboding hills of paper into which manuscripts are tossed, only to come back rent, misshapen, or not at all. The inspiration for H. P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.

"ARC" – phrase, acronym for Anxious Reach-out to Consumers.
"Buzz Book" – phrase, an upcoming title about to have its strength shorn away by indifferent consumers, like the hair of Samson.
"Movie Deal" – phrase, a conjurer's illusion causing observers to believe that something has really happened when it hasn't.
"Option" – noun, a portentous turning point determining one's future destiny.
"Voice" – n, once meaning a unique style of story and narration, the term now replaces all literary descriptors from allegory to zeugma.
Nice to smile on a Saturday morning, thanks.
What an amusing way to start the weekend, Bill.
Here I sit with the elixir of life itself, and you've already convinced me today to never call myself an aspiring writer again. I'm also glad to see my writer's group is not abnormal.
Rejection letter: a brief missive expressing affection, often less than a paragraph long, whose correct interpretation is yet to be understood
Royalty statement: proof to the members of your writing group that you should be hailed as the king or queen that you are (and that they should hate you more and conspire to slip some poison in your beer)
VHS reader: an individual who reads a revised, slimmer version of your manuscript but still tells you it's going to be a very hard sell
Thanks, John – couldn't find VHS even after severe googling.
Useful acronym – once you know what it means.
Tough subjects will be a VHS; if they're poorly written, they won't stand a chance. If extremely well written, they will redefine the field. I hope for the latter – but the subject (which includes how society 'sees' and treats people with disabilities, and severely limits what they're allowed to want) is tough, and tough writing.
I don't care – if other people want to write about werewolves and fairies, which I'm not likely to encounter, I can write about real people (okay, characters) having to deal with the real-life limitations imposed by things that happen to them, willy-nilly.
We can't avoid Life – it is what happens to us while we're making other plans – and no one knows what will come down the pike, from an infection picked up on a peacemaking mission, to a tractor-trailer barreling down the wrong road at the wrong time, or a child…
Fiction gives us ways of dealing with Life before and after it hits us.
Bill–thanks a lot. Your dictionary is witty and pretty accurate. Here's one addition, and one correction:
Agent (n): a class of person who relies on the I Ching, dreams, divine intervention and/or spreadsheets to establish criteria for promoting "product" (technical industry term for literature). Faced with electronic query letters, agents can often be identified by their contempt for the Reply key.
Editor (n): a near-extinct species within the publishing eco-system. Once helpful in refining product, all extant editors are now in a meeting somewhere.
correction: Self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) (n.): antiquated method of delivering bad news, >>which the recipient paid for in advance.<<

Love this!
Here's one
Debut Author: a pristine, virginal newbie with a fresh voice upon whom high hopes are pinned as he/she is strapped to a tree and the dragon (the public) is called forth (pub day). Will the debut author satisfy the dragon, or will it reject him/her? It's a drama that plays out each publishing season.
Indie: once intended to mean a serious self-publisher, now indicates a class of people afflicted with a psychological condition which causes them to see everyone around them as a buggy whip manufacturer or an old lady clutching pearls
Plotter: a large printing device for making posters
Pantser: a writer who, unlike most of his or her peers, wears pants while working
WIP: "Work in Progress," commonly understood to mean that half-finished novel that isn't going anywhere and will probably vanish quietly into the ether when you get a more interesting idea

Warren Buffet describes the challenge our nation faces as the economy improves and the printing presses churning out greenbacks are turned off:
Slowing them down will require extraordinary political will. With government expenditures now running 185 percent of receipts, truly major changes in both taxes and outlays will be required. A revived economy can't come close to bridging that sort of gap.
Legislators will correctly perceive that either raising taxes or cutting expenditures will threaten their re-election. To avoid this fate, they can opt for high rates of inflation, which never require a recorded vote and cannot be attributed to a specific action that any elected official takes. In fact, John Maynard Keynes long ago laid out a road map for political survival amid an economic disaster of just this sort: "By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.... The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

Grab a beer, you'll need it. This is something that caused me to stop playing STO for over a month.
CONDUIT -- Elite:
We begin the mission (myself and another fleet member I'm introducing to eSTFs), and immediately someone has a rainbow boat with so much ship damage, the icons stretched off the box.
It gets better. Two of the people in the group were afkers and just sat there. So here I am now with a level 50 fleet newbie to eSTFs (he had experience in regular STFs to see how the mission scripts work), two AFKers and a guy in a rainbow boat that doesn't even know there is an ESD to fix his ship -- so I thought.
We kill the cube, the spheres, and immediately break left and just think this guy is helpless and unable to do anything.
As we are done with the first cube and get all the gens to 10%, we see we get an optional failure. "WTF", I think, and look over, and the rainbow boat, went right, and killed a generator on his own.
He then, in group says, "LUL!" and leaves. Myself and this fleet member is now having to take on not just our side of spheres, but the other side that this obvious troll just triggered.
I'm the type of person where I just don't like having any emotion but enjoyment when playing a video game and this taught me that this was not a possible achievement in STO. I quit the game for over a month because of this, I couldn't understand how PWE could have a system in place that not only allows this behavior, but promotes it.
to Arc. Gets punished by not being given a free outfit, free lobi, and free shuttle. Now forced to use Arc's site when trying to get to STO site. Still not rewards for beta testing the Arc website by force. Bravo Cryptic.

Study Finds Macaques Value Friendship Over Family Bonds
The bonds of friendship are stronger than the bonds of blood for crested macaque monkeys, according to a new study published online in the journal Animal Behaviour.
The research, which was conducted by Jerome Micheletta and Dr. Bridget Waller of the University of Portsmouth's Department of Psychology, looked at gaze following — the act of looking where a companion is looking — among the primates.
According to BBC News Science Reporter Victoria Gill, gaze following is highly valued in macaque society as a way to help the creatures find food or potential threats to their safety.
While studying the crested macaques, Micheletta and Waller discovered that they would follow the gaze of another macaque regardless of whether or not that partner was a friend, family member, or a socially dominant member of the group, the university reported in a January 11 press release. However, they would follow the gaze of a friend much faster than those of a relative or senior macaque.
The findings suggest that "friends rather than family are more likely to affect how we behave and develop," Nadia Gilani of the Daily Mail said on Tuesday, adding that the Portsmouth researchers "believe that the strength of this bond of friendship could explain how other primates, including humans, develop their social skills."
"We [study these primates] to try to explain how our own social system evolved," Micheletta, the lead researcher on the study, told Gill in an interview. "We want to know why we humans form groups and… social relationships… Friendship is important for [these animals] to cope with day to day life and survival. In some species, friends are probably as important as family and dominance status."
The act of gaze following is not a reflex action or an automatic response, the University explained in their media release. Rather, they said, it is "flexible" and dependent both upon the situation and the relationship between the animals involved.
In addition to macaques, this behavior has been observed in humans, chimpanzees, goats, dolphins, and other species, but until this study, it has not been understood very well, the University claims.
Thanks to the research of Micheletta and Waller, they claim that there is now proof that "there is nothing random about who follows whose gaze, or how speedily they pick up the sometimes very subtle changes to another's eye movements."
"Our findings reveal something about the evolution of friendship and its links with cognition and communication, which have not been studied before," Micheletta told Gilani. "Our study shows that friendship, more than family ties or the status of another, improves the gaze-following ability of this particular macaque species"¦ It is likely the same applies to other primates, including humans."

Cilic Maintains Strong Form; Benneteau Beats Tsonga
Indian Wells, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
Marin Cilic, the No. 24 seed, continued his fine run of form with a 6-2, 6-2 win over qualifier Paolo Lorenzi in 71 minutes at the BNP Paribas Open.
Cilic has an ATP World Tour-best 19-4 record this year, which includes two ATP World Tour titles at the PBZ Zagreb Indoors (d. Haas) and the Delray Beach Open by The Venetian Las Vegas (d. Anderson). He will next play No. 16 seed Tommy Robredo after the Spanish veteran needed over two and half hours to get by Marinko Matosevic 7-6(6), 5-7, 6-4 for his 116th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 match win.
World No. 10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga fell in his second-round opener against fellow Frenchman Julien Benneteau 6-4, 6-4. Tsonga had been looking to record his 200th match win on hard courts.
After dropping his opening service game of the second set, Tsonga recovered the break to get back at 3-all, only to lose his next service game. Benneteau claimed his 13th win against a Top 10 opponent, and also narrowed the record in his FedEx ATP Head2Head series against Tsonga to 4-5.
Tsonga became the third Top 10 player to bow out Sunday, following Juan Martin del Potro's withdrawal due to a wrist injury and Tomas Berdych's loss to Roberto Bautista Agut in the first match on Stadium 1.
Benneteau next faces ATP World Tour Masters 1000 debutant Dominic Thiem, who registered a signature win in dispatching World No. 23 Gilles Simon 7-6(5), 6-2. The 20-year-old Austrian maintained his composure after relinquishing an early 3-0 lead in the first set, edging the Frenchman in the ensuing tie-break and cruising from there.
Thiem - Emirates ATP Stars Of Tomorrow
Mikhail Kukushkin beat No. 25 seed Vasek Pospisil 6-0, 6-2 in 65 minutes. He will now challenge Feliciano Lopez after the Spaniard rallied past lucky loser James Ward 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
Ward, who replaced sixth seed and last year's finalist Juan Martin del Potro in the main draw, was seeking just his second victory on the ATP World Tour since advancing to the semi-finals at Queen's Club three years ago. Lopez will look to reach the Round of 16 in Indian Wells for the first time in 12 appearances.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Gonzalez advanced to the third round in Indian Wells in his ATP World Tour Masters 1000 debut. Gonzalez ousted No. 31 seed Ivan Dodig 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(5) in two hours and 17 minutes, overcoming 13 aces from the Croat. The Colombian had saved four match points in a first round win over Adrian Mannarino for his first tour-level victory.

Update the old standby deviled eggs appetizer with new flavors -- tarragon and briny capers. Photo credit: Maria Lichty from Two Peas and Their Pod.
6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon drained capers, minced
1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Tarragon
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Mustard, Ground
Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; place in small bowl. Mash yolks with fork or potato masher.
Stir in mayonnaise, capers, tarragon and mustard until smooth and creamy. Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.
To hard cook eggs: Gently place eggs in single layer in medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover eggs with 1 inch of water. Bring just to boil on medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand about 12 minutes for large eggs. (Adjust time up or down by 3 minutes for each size larger or smaller.) After 12 minutes, pour off the hot water and rapidly cool eggs by running them under cold water (or place in ice water) until completely cooled. Refrigerate and use within a week.
For creamier deviled eggs: Stir additional 1 to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise into yolk mixture.

Body found hanging from the ceiling fan
HYDERABAD: Swathi, 18, a domestic help employed by a doctor couple working for NIMS was found dead on the institute's premises at Punjagutta on Wednesday.
Her body was found hanging from the ceiling fan in a room close to the crèche on the hospital premises suggesting it was a suicide, but the facts were yet to be ascertained, the Punjagutta police said.
According to them, Swathi was employed by Chakravarthy and his wife, Ritty Kapur, working as anaesthesiologist and radiologist, respectively, in NIMS, to babysit their 11-month-old daughter. The couple lives at Adarshnagar.
The maid used to come to the hospital along with the couple.
She would keep the baby in the crèche on NIMS premises and look after her. After the work, the doctor couple would take back their kid and the maid home.
Police alerted
Swathi came to NIMS in the morning as usual. Around 3.30 p.m., an employee saw Swathi hanging to the ceiling fan in a room close to the crèche. He alerted higher-ups and the police.
"When we reached the hospital, Swathi's body was hanging to the fan with her chunni tied around the neck," the Punjagutta SI Khaja said. No note was found in the room.
Hailing from Mamillagudem village of Nalgonda district, Swathi was working in the doctors' house for the past 11 months.

Being dependent on the ocean is nothing new for Duindorp, a small town near the Hague in the Netherlands. Fishing has declined in recent years, but a new era of reliance on the ocean as a renewable source of heat has begun.
An El Niño appears increasingly likely according to NOAA and Australia's Bureau of Meteorology. If it starts soon, 2014 could well be the hottest year on record, but if it is a strong El Niño, as many currently expect, then 2015 would likely break all previous global records.
